Finance Director Gino Businaro will act as City Manager. #3.D. No-Parking Map In the no-parking map adopted in earlier months, Wilshire between Shoreline and Bartlett was inadvertently designated as all no-parking. That, not being customary, will not work for the businesses that front Wilshire nearest Shoreline, and it will not work for that area that is used for school and ball parking where it approaches Bartlett. However, it is staff's recommendation that it remain no-parking from Maywood to the point designated on the map where the road straightens out again. That will allow for the safe passage of children under the new school transportation program. No-parking in that area enables drivers to see children who might otherwise be blocked from view as they dart into the crosswalk. //5. Liquor Store This letter of intent approves the purchase of the land, shell and estimated square foot cost for the interior finish. As you may have noticed, earth is being moved on the site and approval of this agreement is needed to allow for the excavation for the Liquor Store while the heavy equipment is on location. Excavation includes a basement, which will allow management to buy quantity deals and hold the surplus stock, thus enabling the best possible profits. Design of the interior will be considered at a subsequent meeting. //6. Engineering Projects City Engineer John Cameron and I will help discuss projects that have been on the drawing board before now and others that need your consideration. //7. Skate Park As it tums out, there are many players in the skate park project. It is recommended by the LMC that there be more than handshake agreements when more than one entity is involved. This proposed agreement is the product. //9. Xcel Energy Xcel requires a fee from the City to initiate the engineering required to relocate electrical wires in the way of downtown redevelopment. We are in debate as to the City's obligation to do so, but in order to get the work underway, they are willing to term it an advance while the sides debate the issue. We, of course, hope to prove our point, based on a recent decision to the contrary. This project is necessary for the relocation of County Road 15. #12. Ci.ty Manager's Performance Evaluation Due to the heftiness of this meeting, it has been suggested that the City Manager's performance evaluation be considered at a special meeting just for that purpose. Please bring your calendars. Please consider these dates: Apr 24 or 30. Human Resources If you recall, it was our goal to eliminate the use of Loren Gorden as Planner when we hired Community Development Director Sarah Smith. In addition to her planning responsibilities, Sarah, as her title implies, is key to the redevelopment efforts in Mound, and relieves me of some of that responsibility. That being the case, the planning responsibilities exceed the time she has to do them. As a result, Loren continues to provide planning services to the City on a per case basis. The attempt is to limit his time to the projects that tl~e fee schedule allows us to charge back for. That is not exclusively the case, but that is the goal. Unfortunately, as construction and reconstruction increases in our community, the job will always demand more than one person's time to do it. Fortunately, we are recouping costs in areas that were previously foregone. This afternoon Sarah and I are interviewing a potential intem to assist in our departments for the summer months. She has a four-year degree from the Urban and Regional Studies Department at Mankato State, from which I graduated. She wants experience to help her decide if she wants to acquire a Master's Degree in city planning or in city management. (Should I advise her to run for her life?!? Just kidding!)

PUBLIC .L.A~:'~::iiPERMIT ~7791 RESTHAVEN LANE- POWERS Sarah Smith noted {~t~:~th:is i~ is continued from the March 12th meeting, and the issue is encroachmen~::::~h~j':ic right-of-way of trees and a Fetaining wall. Two issues were raised at that me.eti:~i being who should the City look to, the builder or resident, regarding the encroachment, and what is the species and expected size of the encroaching trees. City Attorney Dean indicated that if the City wants to deal with the encroachments, they must deal with the present property owners. Discussion fol~lowed regarding if the problem would really be solved by moving the trees, because they only have te be moved 1-2' to be in compliance. Meyer feels that because staff recommended denial, and the trees can be easily moved now, and there is no benefit to the public for having these trees on public land, they should be moved back onto private property where they belong. Hanus stated that if the trees are trimmed, which they would have to be if moved or not, they would not block the lake access, and they do serve a public benefit, being the creation of a buffer between the private and public property and they create a green buffer area. 3 - 1873- City Courmii Minutes - Ai~ril ~, 2002 MOTION by Brown, seconded by Osmek to a~pt the request to leave the trees as they are..

(STS) is pleased to have this opportunity to respond to your Request for Proposal - Consultant Services for Phase II Environmental Site Assessment and Response Action Plan Preparation for the Maxwell Property at 5377 Shoreline Drive in Mound, Minnesota. As you know, STS performed the Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESAs) of this property in 1999. We are familiar with the subject property as well as the adjoining property (Lost Lake Dump) and nearby properties proposed for redevelopment. STS performed a Phase I ESA and a Phase II Investigation of the Lost Lake Dump in 2001. STS also performed Phase I ESAs for four redevelopment areas in the City of Mound in 2000. As such, we are very familiar with site conditions and have interacted with City staff and their planning consultant. STS is familiar with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup (VIC) requirements and staff. STS is under contract with Hennepin County Environmental Services to perform a Phase I ESA of the C.S.A.H. 15 corridor in Mound, a part of which fronts the Maxwell property. Mr. Andrew Leith is our contact with Hennepin County Department of Environmental Services. Our proposal outlines a scope of work and presents a project budget based on the RFP. The proposal presents our approach for the Phase II ESA, the final scope of which will require MPCA VIC staff input and approval.

These innovative techniques are all directly related to construction methods which address environmental issues, minimize cost, minimize human exposure and maintain constructability of the project. STS utilizes a risk-based approach to problem solving. STS is one of the few consulting 'firms with a full-time toxicologist on staff, Dr. Jeff Stevens, Ph.D., to address risk-based environmental solutions. The following projects demonstrate our innovative cost effective solutions. Federal Courts Building, City of Minneapolis - STS performed Phase I ESA, Phase 11 ESA, RAP and remediation activities for the construction of the new Federal Courts Building for the Minneapolis Community Development Agency. Vapor extraction, soil venting bio-remediation and 'slurry walls were used during the remediation activities. Remediation was completed for a cost of $600,000 saving the City of Minneapolis $4,400,000 from the original cost estimate of $5,000,000. STS received the 1995 Seven Wonders of Engineering Award from the Minnesota Society of Professional Engineers for this project. 750 Pelham Boulevard, St. Paul (Jordan Realty Inc.) - STS documented remedial actions involved with cleanup of a property formerly occupied by Twin City Technical Casting designated as requiring an EPA response action for cleanup. Environmental impacts to soil and groundwater, as well as Iow level radioactive wastes,, were identified. Response actions were implemented successfully. The site awaits issuance of a no further action letter. · MPCA Dump Assessment- STS was contracted by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to perform Phase I ESAs for 70 dump sites throughout Minnesota. STS THE INFRAI=TRUI3TURE IMPERATIVE - 1923- P6429001.doc City of Mound STS Proposal 11429PP April 2, 2002 Page 4 prioritized sites based on information gathered to enable the MPCA to select dumps for Phase II ESAs. Of the 15 Phase II ESAs completed to date, four dumps were identified to have soil/groundwater impacts of concern. Work continues to identify additional dumps for Phase II ESAs. Some sites.were entered into Brownflelds programs which paid for assessment costs to assist bringing the dump sites into productive uses. AAMCO Transmission, Minnetonka - STS performed Phase I and Phase II ESAs for a former AAMCO transmission facility in Minnetonka. Releases of petroleum and non-petroleum compounds to groundwater were identified through a push probe exploration program. A "No Action" assurance letter was received from the MPCA VIC program which enabled the site to be successfully redeveloped. Project Approach and Work Proqram Phase II Work Plan The Phase II Work Plan will address non-petroleum impacts to soil and groundwater. Exceedances of groundwater standards for PCBs and heavy metals were identified in the southwest portion of the subject property by the Phase II ESA, STS will incorporate as much information as possible from the Phase I and Phase It ESA in the proposed Phase II Investigation. The Phase II ESA showed soil and groundwater in the northwest corner of the project site were impacted by petroleum compounds, likely by the former Metro 500 filling station which existed in that part of the subject property. The MPCA VIC program does not issue assurance letters for petroleum impacts. In addition, the Hennepin County grant does not cover costs for tasks presently eligible for Petrofund reimbursement. An approach to address the petroleum release is presented in a later section of this proposal. The scenario presented for the Work Plan for Phase II Investigation of the subject property is based on our experience with other MPCA VIC projects. Alternatives which could be added to the scenario are also presented. The final scenario selected for implementation would be based on discussion with MPCA VIC staff prior to development of a Work Plan. Nine soil borings at approximately 100 foot spacing will be performed in a grid pattern across the property. Soil samples will be screened with a photoionization detection. (PID) meter equipped with an 10.6 eV lamp for the presence of volatile organic compounds. One soil sample from each of the borings will be selected for analysis based on visual, olfactory and/or PID meter readings indicative of possible contamination. Groundwater samples will be obtained through PVC permanent monitoring wells placed, at borehole locations in the four corners and center of the site (total of five monitoring wells). Locations of the monitoring wells would be coordinated with the City of Mound to minimize intrusiveness relative to planned development. Permanent wells were selected in case the MPCA requires long-term monitoring. Soil and groundwater samples will be analyzed in accordance with the MPCA Guidance Documents. Some adjustments to the types of parameters actually analyzed may vary THE INF'RA~BTRUI::ITUla£ IMP£RA,TIV£ - 1924- P6429001,doc City of Mound STS Proposal 11429PP April 2, 2002 Page 5 ~ ,.~T-~ I~ (3 N BU LTANT-~ depending on depth of sample, type of material sampled, etc. Analytical parameters are as follows: · Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) · Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, silver, selenium) plus copper and nickel · Pesticides · Poiychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) · Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) · Herbicides · Diesel range organic compounds (DRO) barium, Water samples for RCRA metals will be field filtered. A second round of groundwater sampling will be performed at least two weeks after the initial sampling round is completed. U.S. Filter will perform the analyses. Boreholes and test pits (see below) would be screened for the presence of methane. Unknown materials which could produce methane may be buried on the site. Additional Considerations - Two additions to the Work Scope could be required by MPCA staff. An elevated PID reading from a depth of approximately 35 feet was reported at soil boring B-3 of the Phase II ESA. A deep well installation (40 feet) to sample groundwater below the existing groundwater surface (15 feet depth) may be required to evaluate whether the elevated PID reading could be indicative of V©Cs from the former Tonka Toys facility located north across Shoreline Drive from the subject property. Dense non- aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) which sink below the groundwater surface could have migrated south from the Tonka site to the subject property. The MPCA may require test pits instead of soil borings to characterize fill materials. Nine test pits would be dug in a grid pattern across the site. Five of the test pits would be dug near the proposed monitoring wells. The other four would be dug at proposed soil boring locations. Test pits would reveal the type of fill materials used to bring the Maxwell property to grade. It is unknown whether the former Tonka Toys deposited wastes on the subject property. Soil samples would be obtained from the test pits for chemical analysis. Response Action Plan The' Response Action Plan will be based on the results of the Phase II Investigation. The scope of actions cannot be determined at this time. The RAP may include recommendations for additional monitoring, no action, restrictions on soil excavation/groundwater extraction or other actions. Based on available information from the preliminary Phase II ESA, we anticipate the RAP could include a request for the MPCA VIC program to issue a "No Action" letter. The possibility exists that a restrictive covenant for property use/alteration may be required.

The release was reported to the Minnesota State Duty Officer on November 11, 1999 during performance of the Phase II ESA. The leak site is "open", indicating no actions appear to have been taken by the property owner to investigate the release. THE INFRAla'TI~UDTUR£ IMPERATIVE - 1926- P6429001 ,doc City of Mound STS Proposa~ 11429PP April 2, 2002 Page 7 ~"~ ~T~ Gr'INBULTANT5 The MPCA LUST program requires a Limited Site Investigation (LSI) and potentially a Remedial Investigation (RI) to determine the extent and magnitude of petroleum impacts at this LUST site. Costs for an LSI/RI are not covered by the Hennepin County grant. Costs for LUST investigations and cleanup are partially reimbursable to volunteer parties through the Petrofund. STS will work with the City of Mound to develop a cost effective approach for dealing with the Metro 500 LUST site. The LSI would initially be conducted using push probe technology to obtain soil and groundwater samples in general accordance with MPCA guidelines. If significant groundwater impacts are identified, an RI which would include monitoring wells would be required. A scope of work and cost estimate can be prepared separately from this proposal to address the petroleum release. MPCA LUST program cost proposals are required to be submitted on Petrofund forms and be competitively bid to maintain eligibility for Petrofund reimbursement. Terms and Conditions We propose to provide these services in accordance with the General Conditions and Fee Schedule attached to this proposal, which are expressly incorporated into, and are an integral part of, our contract for professional services. These are the same terms and conditions which the City of Mound and STS Consultants, Ltd. have had for past projects. It must be recognized that latent underground pollution of a non-hazardous or hazardous nature may be discovered in performance of an environmental site assessment. The discovery may require the buyer/seller under federal and state regulations to undertake remedial measures, particularly if reportable quantities are encountered. STS considers the responsibility for reporting any results and subsequent clean-up measures to rest with the seller and/or tenant. STS will not report the results of the assessment to parties other than that with which we have contracted unless, in our opinion, there is an imminent health and safety risk involved. Please indicate your acceptance of this proposal by having an authorized representative of your firm execute one copy and return it tothe undersigned. If we are given verbal or written notification to proceed, without first receiving a signed copy of our proposal, it will be mutually understood that both of us will, nonetheless, be contractually bound by the proposal, even in the absence of written acceptance by you. In any event, a signed copy of this proposal will need to be returned to STS before a written report can be submitted. Please note that this authorization is based on providing relatively limited services as discussed above. If more extensive or long-term services are required, particularly those services with significant engineering involvement, a more detailed proposal could be developed. Such a proposal would detail a specific scope of services to be provided by STS for this project. Your acceptance of our proposal confirms that the terms and conditions are understood, including payment of STS Consultants, Ltd. upon receipt of the invoice, unless specifically arranged otherwise in writing. Of course, should you wish to discuss the terms, conditions, and provisions of our proposal, we would be pleased to do so at your earliest convenience. - 1927- P6429001.doc_ City of Mound STS Proposal 11429PP April 2, 2002 Page 8 t~ .C:~T_C:~ I"~.DNSULTANTS We appreciate this opportunity to be of service to you.

The applicant has submitted a request for a sideyard setback variance of 0.8 feet to construct a two stall attached garage with living space above. The property does not currently have a garage. All existing lot and structure conditions conform to code requirements. The addition would provide an additional 650 square feet of living area above the garage. As the plans indicate, entry points to this split-level house are on the east side where the garage is planned. The stairway and landing causes the garage to be about 4 feet wider than normal and the interior of the garage is only 19 feet 6 inches in width. One particular with the lot that has some impact on the sideyard setback is the 79 feet lot width. As platted, the property shows 80 feet of width. In this case a 1 foot reduction is the difference between a conforming and nonconforming addition. Staff finds the addition is minimally sized to accommodate a two-stall garage and is affected by the irregular lot width. Discussion Weiland wanted to know where the shed was on the plan. Sutherland indicated that staff was aware that it was not on the drawing. He assured the commission that the shed will be in a conforming location. It does have to meet 4-foot setback to the side and rear. MOTION by Weiland, seconded by Clapsaddle, to accept the variance as requested with the condition that the shed be relocated to a conforming location and that all hardcover requirements are met, MOTION carried unanimously. - 1939- PLANNING REPORT Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. illlr4 TO: Mound Council, Planning Commission and Staff FROM: Loren Gordon, AICP DATE: May 14, 2001 SUBJECT: Variance Request OWNER: Dale and Rebecca Simon CASE NUMBER: 01-14 I-IKG FILE NUMBER: 01-05 LOCATION: 4711 Cumberland Road ZONING: Residential District R-lA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Residential BACKGROUND: The applicant has submitted a request for a sideyard setback variance of 0.8 feet to construct a two stall attached garage with living space above.

We have an original survey that indicated these measurements. The city plot also indicates the same measurements. But the land survey that was done after we bought the land indicated the front at 79 ft instead of 80. We do not know what happened to the missing foot, We want to place an edition on the east side of the house with the dimensions of 25 ft by 26 ft by 25.8 ft. Because of the difference in the missing foot, the proposed edition goes over the east set back by about 10 inches. Currently we have a tri-level home in which each floor is only ½ the length of the house. It is a pre-fab home made in Stratford, Wisconsin. It came in 2 parts. The front part is ½ kitchen and ½ living room with stairway between the two rooms. The back upper part consists of 2 bedrooms with a full bath in between. Because thc house is basically in 2 parts we do not have flexibility in the placement of the edition. It can only be matched up with the east side kitchen door. The architect designed the edition to be the most efficient placement. Because of the way our house was constructed the proposed design was the only way it would work. · If we pushed the addition back to the south, far enough to meet the set back we would not have access to the kitchen. If we make the addition narrower we would have to go to one large garage door. desire was to have two garage doors so as to make one side a useable shop space to work on projects. We have no room in our basement to do projects. There is only ½ a basement. It consists of laundry room, future ½ bath and a bedroom/den. The actual (car) garage area is set at 20 feet 4 inches. This is a minimum size. Keep in mind there is also a stairway on the right-side wall that takes up an additional 4 feet. The last foot is for clearance of the right side garage door in the ceiling concerning the stairs above it. The total width footage is 25 feet. If the (car) garage space is narrowed to less than 20 feet in width, it will make it difficult to park two full size vehicles and open the doors on all sides. The architect designed the edition to be the most efficient placement of the stairs. It will connect the garage, basement, kitchen and dinning/family room. If we moved the stairs to the back (south) side of the garage, it would only access the family room, and not the basement. It would also be more costly as it would increase the length of the garage and size of the tresses. In summary, we believe the proposed design best meets our needs. Please consider it.

This letter provides the proposed framework of the proposal for the liquor store building that has been negotiated between Mound Market Place (MMP) and the City. If acceptable the letter will be converted to a purchase agreement for final consideration by the Mound City Council. The major issues related to this proposed agreement include the following: Issue Analysis Ownership basis The agreement would provide that the City would own the property (land, shell and improvements) in the form ora common interest community. This is similar to a condominium. Because the site is contained within a shopping center this is an appropriate form of ownership. Owner v. lease Ownership of the site and building has been recommended for financial considerations. Essentially the city will be financing the building and land using tax-exempt money and taking advantage of tax-exempt property tax status. The city would maintain an equity position, which would permit sale of building at future date. The bond payments are estimated to be about 20% higher than lease payments, however, he city will own the asset at~er the bonds 'are paid and will be establishing equity during the term of the bonds. Sale of store The city will be able to sell the store at a future date if desired. ~ would prefer to lease the space and is a willing buyer of the property. ~ would retain the right of first refusal, the city would be able to sell to anther buyer ifMMP would decide not to purchase. Sale price The sale price would be determined on the basis of fair market value. LEADERS IN PUBLIC FINANCE 3060 Centre POinte Drive Phone: 651-697-8503 F~"~':~J~'~':~'~'~' Roseville, MN 55113.1105 - 1946- Email: jim@ehlers-inc,com · City of Mound LJquor Store Issue Analysis Purchase price The proposed purchase price is $1,275,000 for a "turnkey" operation (land, building shell, interior finish, fixtures and equipment). This price is higher than anticipated at the time of bond sale last year ($1,100,000). The reasons for the increase include higher than anticipated improved land costs and the propose addition of a basement for storage purposes. The land cost was calculated on the basis of purchase price (from Westonka), soil corrections, legal fees (including the lawsuit), required public improvements (landscaping, park dedication, storm sewer control, streetscape) and other development related costs. These costs were allocated on the ratio of the liquor store to total commercial area. Building shell cost is allo~ed on the same basis. If final building cost are less than budgeted than the final purchase cost will be adjusted, but will not increase. A cost allocation for the interior finish has been included in the purchase price. That allocation is $315,000. That estimate is based on cost for similar stores. Again, if the final cost is less the purchase price will be reduced. Interior design The interior design has not been completed. The final plans will be provided for City review. City architect, Gary Tushie has indicated that the $315,000 interior allowance is adequate for this size and type building. This price includes all interior finish, refrigeration, storage, lighting, security, doors, furniture, shelving, flooring, etc. Basement The proposed basement adds $110,000 to the project costs. The addition architect and other municipal liquor store manager have strongly recommended the basement as a means to increase sales and reducing product costs. The basement will allow purchase of bulk discount merchandise. Larger floor space permitted by basement storage will increase sales. The basement is relatively cheap space at about $22/s.f. Most new liquor stores being built are in the 8,000 - 10,000 vs. range. The basement offers a reasonable alternative to building (and paying for) a much larger store. The proposed new store will have about three times the floor space as the present store. The basement will be served by a conveyor system. Use restriction The agreement will provide that the grocery store will not sell wine or beer in the event legislative changes would permit such sales. - 1947- City of Mound Liquor Store Issue Analysis Adjusted project If approved, the final project cost would include the propose cost purchase agreement turnkey costs, $1,275,000 and other indirect project cost including architect, legal, staffand financial fees. These fees are estimated at $75,000 for a total of $1,350,000. This exceed the bond proceed amount by $250,000. There are a variety of available options to fund this difference. Liquor store revenues are adequate to meet the additional debt service costs. Adjusted cost A financial pro forma was developed for the $1,100,000 store financing estimate. That pro forma projected a net increase in costs, including debt service, of about $65,000 annual. The additional debt service for adjusted cost will increase the cost $25,000 to $90,000 annually. Even after this increase the net funds available for transfer for other uses are estimated at $200,000 annually. This is based on a conservative estimate of increased sales of 5%. Other new (expanded) municipal liquor stores report increased sales ranging from 10% to 30%. Alternatives A preliminary analysis of construction a store on a stand-alone site was undertaken. That analysis indicated that the city might be able to achieve a savings of about if an appropriate site could be purchased and improved for less than $275,000. No sites meeting these criteria could be readily identified. Additionally, it is unlikely that any other site could be as well situated as the proposed site. - 1948- April ,20O2 Mound Marketplace, LLC Attention L~ Olson and Brian Pellowski 4969 OlSOn Memorial ~ghway Golden Valley MN 55422 Mound Market Place New Mound Liquor Store Dear Sirs: This letter will serve as a non-binding letter of intent regarding the proposed new municipal liquor store in the proposed Mound Market Place.

Langdon Bay - Rottlund Homes. All the utilities were completed last fall except for the watermain in West Edge Boulevard adjacent to their site. This is scheduled for completion the week of April 22nd. Robin Lane, Ladyslipper Circle and the easterly section of Sugar Mill Lane were hard surfaced late last fall. The remainder of the project should be completed within the next 30 - 60 days. Mound Visions 2nd Addition - Mound Marketplace and Village By the Pond - Metro Plains. The first residential unit is completed and the models are open. The second unit is under construction. The underground utility work is scheduled to start April 18th with completion of the City portion by the first or second week of June. County Road 15 - The City and Hennepin County are working with the Regional Rail Authority to solve a problem with the Dakota Rail crossing. The next step will be to finalize the Right-of-way agreement and then start the property acquisition. MCES Lift Station - The City is in the process of obtaining a signed purchase agreement from Balboa. Once we have it in hand, MCES can access the property to do their soil investigations necessary for design of the lift station. We are also continuing to discuss with - 1954- 15050 23rd Avenue North · Plymouth, Minnesota · 55447 phone 763/476-6010 · fax 763/476-8532 e-maik mfra@mfra, com Kandis Hanson April 16, 2002 Page 2 o MCES the proposed agreement necessary to move this project forward. MCES plans to have this project under construction yet this year. Retaining Wall Replacement - The late snowfall set us back with the fieldwork; however, we are now 95 percent complete and working on the construction plans, which are scheduled for completion in approximately 30 days. The project would then be bid during late May and early June. We are anticipating starting construction about the first of July. Storm Sewer Improvement Project 2002 - As with the retaining walls, the late snow set this project back a few weeks. The fieldwork is almost complete. We are working on the final plans, which should be finished in the next couple of weeks. We hope to bid this project in May and start construction by mid to late June. Municipal Well - The City will be receiving a proposal from a Hydrogeologist to do a full report on the proposed new municipal well. It is our hope the report will confirm the desire to place this new well adjacent to the Evergreen water tower. When the report is complete and a site confirmed, plans would be prepared for a test well. A municipal well project is not an overnight venture and it can be expected to take 9 to 12 months to complete; therefore, depending on winter weather interference, this well may not be ready for operation until May or June of 2003. Elevated Water Storage - A project involving a new water tower is also a project of considerable duration. From the start of planning to having the new tower operating will take 12 to 18 months. We would suggest the City consider starting the initial work on the new tower in late summer or early fall, which would allow for completion by spring of 2004. This schedule would provide the City with the added storage capacity recommended in the last study done in 1995, which suggested having additional storage by the year 2005. Street Reconstruction Projects - We are in the process of evaluating the street survey done last summer and also collecting data on proposed methods of assessing a portion of the cost. A report will be prepared for the City Council this summer, allowing time for decisions to be made and then ordering of the project in early fall.

Rottlund Homes would also like to discuss the PDA-CUP approvals which were granted as part of the project which presently includes a hardcover restriction of (30) percent which is the standard requirement of the R-1 zoning district, it is City staff's understanding that Rottlund Homes is experiencing difficulties accommodating certain models in the development.

Re: Langdon Bay Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council: We at Rottlund Homes are very pleased with our initial success at Langdon Bay. Everything to date is exceeding our expectations and believe it will exceed yours as well. As you may recall, contained within the original P.U.D. apprOval was a requirement limiting the amount of building coverage on a lot to 30%. Presently, we have been forced to limit the availability of some home plans due to this condition. Specifically, we have found a great deal of demand for one level rambler plans and plans with front porches. The current maximum lot coverage of 30% has been difficult to comply with due to larger foot prints of these home plans. At this time, we are asking the City Council to consider allowing the flexibility to allow approximately 20 lots to increase the maximum lot coverage from 30% to 33%. Keeping in mind that not all of these 20 lots would push the maximum but would have the opportunity in some cases. We have met with staff to identify their concerns and have attempted to address them: :- --Will there be an impact at the storm ponctq? Our average lot coverage to date for the first 25 homes sold is 23.21%, well below the 30% max. We have also eliminated one lot from our original approval due. to a soil correction issue that will eliminate 3,300 sq. ft. of approved lot coverage, which in and of it self, takes care of 1/2 of our request. We are below max. to date on the first 25 lots by 15,000 sq. ft. of the'ir total lot coverage. Our request would add a max. of an additional 6,000 sq. ft. total. We have also requested and received a letter from our civil engineer (enclosed), stating that even if we max the entire development at 30%, we would not affect the current storm sewer and ponding design. --Another concern of staff is the effective "look" of the lot if the surface coverage is increased by 3%. Our response is that 3% on a 10,000 sq. t~ lot is 300 sq. ft., this equates to approximately a front porch. All setbacks would stay the same so the loOk from the street would not change. Also, no additional trees will be removed due tO this request. To summarize, our request is for approximately 20 lots of the 73 lots to have their max lot coverage increased from 30 to 33%, approximately 300 sq. ft per lot for a total of 6,000 sq. ft. --There would be no impact on the storm ponds or wetlands --No additional trees will be removed --We are tracking well below the 30% (24%) throughout the project MN IUILDEk EOL~ HOUSING u .......,,, MLS ........ 3065 CENTRE POIN'rE DRIVE ROSEVILLE, M2q_ .[q~5_ (651) 638-0500 FAX (651)638-0501 Mayor/City Council Page 2 April 17, 2002 The benefits would be: --to continue to promote the front porch --to continue the variety of house through the balance of the project --to allow for more one level plans to promote more variety in neighborhood and include more empty nesters to promote more diversity of residents --to complete the project in a more timely fashion, less disruption to neighboring properties We would appreciate your thoughts on this request and we understand we must go through a formal voting approval process if council reviews this request favorably.

Chair Michael welcomed the public and called the meeting to order at 7:39 p.m. MINUTES - APPROVAL OF THE FEBRUARY 14, 2000, MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. Brown stated the Planning Commission would be receiving in their packets the City Council minutes in the future. He stated there have been delays in the minutes but this is being worked on. MOTION by Weiland, seconded by Hasse, to accept the February 14, 2000, Planning Commission meeting minutes as submitted. MOTION CARRIED: 8-0. CASE # 00-10: SKETCH PLAN REVIEW; ROTTLUND HOMES, 1000 ROBIN LANE_. ~ LOTS 1 AND 2, AUDITOR'S'SUBDIVISOIN #231; PID# 14-117-24 33 0001; 14-117- on presented this case. He stated R.H. Development/Rottlund Homes submitted a sketch plan for staff and Planning Commission review and comment. They have a purchase agreement with Leroy Alwin, pending development plan approval. The proposal is for an 80 lot single-farfiily residential development on the undeveloped 27- acre parcel with typical 70 I(~t widths and 10,800 square feet lots. Gross density for the project as proposed would be 2.96 dwelling units per acre, which falls within the Iow density residential range provided for in the Comprehensive Plan. It has been indicated -1988- Mound Planning Commission Minutes, February 28. 2000 that the developer will pursue a Planned Unit Development (PUD) approach for the project. The property is currently zoned R-1 Single family residential which establishes a 10,000 square feet minimum lot area and 60 feet lot width. Gordon commented on the sketch plan as follows: a. The proposed sketch plan represents a Major Subdivision and would require preliminary and final plats if it proceeds. The developer has indicated they would like to entertain the PUD process to allow for narrower ROW and street widths. b. The concept suggests a mix of typical grid and:curvilinear subdivision design. The 80 single-family lots are all similarly sized at 10,800 square feet. This meets the minimum 10,000 square feet standard for the I~-1 Single Family Residential zone.' The concept shows the property "lotted out" with the exception of wetland/ponding areas and two park sites. Additional attention is needed at the platting stage to remove butt/"sandwiched" lots from some areas. c. The typical housing plans seem to be a good "fit" in the neighborhood and also meet community needs for "upscale" single-family housing. It appears that the existing residence and outbuildings would be removed. They have some unique qualities that if retained, could add value to the property. Additional consideration should be given to see what potential exists for their continued use. d. The developer would like to narrow the street corridor by narrowing the right-of- way, street width and front yard setbacks. Conceptually, staff agrees with this approach to minimize environmental impacts. Less street pavement will reduce the amount of hardsurface and water runoff improving water quality. e. Park site dedication requirements would indicate the need for a minimum of 2.7 acres of parkland on the property. Given the buildout of the community and the lack of parkland in this area, staff would prefer a parksite on the property rather than fees in lieu of land. The developer has shown a connection to the railroad right-of-way, which looks to be a future regional trail connection. This is a positive feature for the development/community. Need to show additional pedestrian connections within the development. f. Additional topography information is needed at a 2 feet interval. There may be some areas that could be considered bluffs. g. The site has a number of natural features that will affect this development concept including slopes, wooded areas, and wetlands. Additional plans will need to be prepared showing existing site conditions to a greater detail than is provided. Tree protection policies will require attention is given to the densely vegetated areas that cover a majority of the property. Additional wetland information will be needed to satisfy the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA). h. Two access points are provided via undeveloped Robin Lane (Robin Lane currently serves as the driveway to the Alwin homestead) and West Edge Road. These appear to be logical connections to the roadway network. Further detail is needed from the developer to address road improvements on West Edge Road. The road is not classified as State-Aid beCause the Minnetrista half cannot receive state funding. 2 - 1989- M(~un~J Planning Commission Minutes. February 28, 2000 i. There are other dedicated public rights-of-way on the property that could be used a pedestrian trail system. j. Need to show a utility plan for the development. Watermain needs looping in the development and sanitary sewer main and connections need to be shown. k. Storm drainage and ponding system needs to be further explored for the site. Gordon stated there might be additional comments from the Park Commission, Public Works, Engineering, and Fire Departments to this sketch plan that have not been provided to him yet. Gordon stated the Westedge location would need to be reviewed with great intensity because this is the dividing lining between Minnetrista and Mound. Voss asked where the access was going to be located for the future trail system. Gordon stated a small trail head would be developed through the park location near the railroad track. The developer stated he would expand on this question when he presents the sketch. Brown stated the City of Mound is in desperate need for parkland because they will be losing some park space with the redevelopment of downtown. He asked if it would be feasible for the developer to locate one large piece of property where a nice park with swings and a Babe Ruth ballfield could be built. Tim Wittman, Vice President of Rottlund Homes, presented his sketch plan. He stated they have a valid purchase agreement with Rex Alwin regarding this property. In the beginning, Rottlund Homes would have liked building townhomes on this property, but Mr. Alwin was quite offended with that offer and made it quite clear he wanted single family homes built. After discussions, Rottlund Homes agreed to build single family homes on this property and they are very excited to be a part of this project. Mr. Wittman stated the property around Lake Langdon is being proposed for park use. He stated this park would have access to the lake with a trail or sidewalk going to and from the park through the development. He stated this property does have some steep edges, but also includes very beautiful trees. He stated there is a wetland, area designated in the development that Rottlund intends to stay away from and help preserve this area. Mr. Wittman stated there are storm ponding areas that need to be worked on as well. He stated th~ position of the road right-of-way was in the Iow area which was odd, but workable. Mr. Wittman mentioned he met with the Park Commission. The Park Commission would like more park dedication than required, although the developer is pleased with the 2.7 acres presented, b~ al~o a little flexible. He stated the Park Commission thought the park dedication aroun(J Lake Langdon looked very attractive. The developer stated they would be putting in a second, small pocket park up by Lynwood 3 - 1990- Mound Plannino Commission Minutes. February 28. 2000 that would include a gazebo and play structure. These 85 single homes would be priced around $250,000. Brown restated he would like Rottlund Homes pursu, e the possibility of having one large park dedicated in this development, rather than two s~aller parks. Mr. Wittman stated the public appreciated the site sizes and the location of the houses on the sites for the purpose of saving as many trees as possible behind the homes. He is hopeful to reduce the right-of-way surface that would allow the homes to be closer to the street. He further stated he is proposing the setbacks not so far back and also keeping the homes more wide than deep. He further stated rather than 10 feet on the sides of the homes, a 6-foot side setback is being proposed. All of these compromises will help save the trees in this development. Clapsaddle suggested having more flexibility in each lot size. Mr. Wittman stated he would keep this possibility in the back of his mind. Mr. Wittman stated it was asked of him if they would be able to save Mr. Alwin's house or not. He stated Mr. Alwin's house would need to be brought up to the standards, but will certainly look at the opportunity of preserving his home. Mr. Wittman further stated the style of homes would be bungalow, one level, and two- story homes. He stated each home would have a two-car garage with a tandem for a third car. There would be a porch proposed for each home being built and also having a boulevard tree planted in the right-of-way. Voss suggested if this meets the upscale single family homes, he would recommend having 10 feet on each side of the homes rather than the 6 feet dimension proposed. He stated this would be more appealing to buyers. Brown stated having only 12 feet between each home might be a problem with the fire department. He stated the 20-foot dimension would help with fighting fires. Mueller stated he liked the sketch plan proposed tonight. He stated it appears Rottlund Homes is creating a nice neighborhood with parks made available for the public. He stated he appreciates the front porch on the homes. Mueller stated the 26 feet wide streets are probably workable, rather than the 28 feet wide in the City ordinance. Mueller asked if the City Engineer has commented yet about including a boulevard tree in the front yard which might be located where the utility easement has been designated. Mr. Wittman stated Rottlund Homes could be creative with the City Engineer in putting the utilities in a proper location. Mueller asked Mr. Wittman about the trail right-of-way and whether it should be sidewalk or a trail. Mr. Wittman stated he would prefer to see a sidewalk approach. Mueller asked if any of the trail site is being considered for the parkland dedication and 4 - 1991 - H A RTERED 470 Pillsbury Center 200 South Sixth Street Minneapolis MN 55402 (612) 337-9300 telephone (612) 337-9310 fax http://www, kennedy-graven.com JAMES M.

Based on our discussions with Mr. Johnson, the relocation cost issues can be addressed in July or August when Xcel would order poles and other equipment for relocation. 'By this letter the City will agree to advance funds for Xcel's "detailed engineering cost estimate." To place this matter on the City Council's agenda next week, we request your prompt response to this proposal. The City agrees to advance the amount requested in the April 11 letter as soon as City authorization for the initial check of $18,240 can be obtained. The City further agrees to advance such costs as are reasonably incurred by Xcel in performing the detailed cost estimate for the Mound project involving improvement to County Road 15 and downtown redevelopment. The City's agreement to advance these payments to Xcel is expressly conditioned upon the City's reservation of right to later seek recoupment of these advances on the grounds that it is properly an Xcel expense under the law. The City has not yet determined whether it will do so, but reserves its right to pursue such recovery. The City further requires that Xcel move forward with this detailed cost estimate expeditiously and that the report include a discussion of how Xcel is physically impacted by both the county road project and the downtown redevelopment project, to the extent there is a separate impact. The City assumes that Xcel will review and report on all other issues noted in the April 11 letter and include all necessary information in the detailed cost estimate of transmission line relocation. CAR-213192vl MU200-92 - 1992- Harold Bagley April 17, 2002 Page 2 We understand from Mr. Johnson that the lead time for ordering metal poles for the overhead transmission lines is approximately 9 months. Assuming a need to commence construction in April 2003, Xcel would need to commit to an order by July 2002. It is my understanding that prior to this point, Xcel would need to know the parties who will pay relocati, on costs of Xcel where allowed by law, i.e., where Xcel demonstrates a compensable property interest. It is my understanding that the detailed cost estimate for which the City is willing to advance costs is a separable and necessary undertaking prior to the relocation plan. Therefore, agreement on the advance of detailed cost estimate funds is all that is necessary at this point. We will mutually review the relocation cost requirement issue during the coming three months. The City is prepared to advance the funds as quickly as possible and awaits your immediate response to this offer.

I will address each independently: Action on Preferred Facility Option Several options were studied, along with each of their advantages and disadvantages. It is the recommendation of the Facilities Committee that the option that combines the Police and Fire Departments has thc most advantages and the least disadvantages over other options considered. There arc two very prominent reasons why that option stands out. First, there are the numerous economies gained by combining two like departments. Secondly, moving the police department from its current location also resolves the space pressures for thc remaining deparWaents housed at City Hall. This is most certainly preferable from a long range planning stand point over simply resolving the space needs for one department. Action on Preferred Financing Option Much discussion has already been devoted to the tWo financing options and their advantages and disadvantages. The facts stand on their own and this decision, being a matter of policy, is in the hands of the policy makers. Action Authorizing Requests for Proposals (RFP) from Architect~ The agreement with SEH has ended. To complete the final design, a firm must be secured. It is the recommendation of the Facilities Committee that they be authorized to put out requests for proposals for architects. It is the intent of the Committee to solicit proposals from firms with extensive experience in fire and police stations, over a shotgun advertisement for proposals. Action Authorizing RFP's for Construction Managers There are two approaches that may be taken in the contracting and bidding process. One is termed General Contracting, in which one bid package is let. The second is Construction Management, in which a construction manager puts out individual bids for the various components of the project. The hiring of a construction manager is being recommended by the Facilities Committee and what follows are some of the reasons for that recOmmendation: The Construction Manager acts as the general contractor and the representative professional, relieving City staff of the day-m-day oversight of the project. The CM takes over the administrative responsibilities of the project. The CM works with and oversees the architect, restraining project costs. Bids are based on a budget. The bidding is broken into 12-27 packages, and components may be re-bid if bids are not satisfactory. Results in cost savings; avoids the customary 10% markup under general contracting. Construction manager's fee is based on a percentage of the project, generally 2-5%. The oversight of a CM ensures a project that is smooth flowing, completed on time, and on budget. General Overview of the Project What is discussed next assumes the approval of the above. Provided is a less than comprehensive list of the tasks necessary to proceed with the project. Each piece represents great deal of time and work. Time needed for: --holding a referendum, if required --taking RFP's for architects and securing an agreement --taking RFP's for a construction manager and securing an agreement --preparing detailed plans and specifications --preparing detailed bid packages, advertisement, consideration of bids, bid award --educating member cities and securing agreements with each --continuing the public education --securing an interim location for fire department operations --physical move of the department --doing soil borings and testing --working through well and water tower development plans --closing of well to make way for earthwork --processing of any zoning approvals --dealing with any environmental issues (test wells are currently contained on the site) The Committee suggests bidding Dec-Feb 2003, for the best possible bids. Bidding now, after contractors have their 2002 work year in place, will not result in the best possible bids. It is our expection that interest rates will still be reasonable within the next several months. There is just too much work to achieve and still guarantee a quality project, if the process is hurried. - 1996- From: ' Dat~: Subject: Kandis Hanson, City Manager Jim Prosser, Financial AdViSor January 31, 2002 Responses t° 'Council Questions'Regarding Facility Financing EHLERS & ASSOCIATES INC Following are responses to question raised at the January 29, Council meeting regarding facility financing: Q: Is it possible to include multiple questions in the referendum proposal? A: Yes, it is legal to pose multiple questions in a referendum proposal. The 2001 legislature amended the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.59 to provide that the governing body of any city, town or county may, according to its judgment and discretion, submit as a single ballot question or as two or more separate questions in the Notice of Election and Ballot the proposition of their issuance, stated conjunctively or in the alternative, for the acquisition, construction or improvement of any facilities at one or more locations. This language gives the City great flexibility in its ballot questions. The challenge is to avoid voter confusion. As a practical matter posing multiple questions on this particular issue is not recommended for several roasons. Multiple questions will make it more difficult to communicate the need for the facility. If the city really needs fire station, police station and city hall buildings then why not ask for everything. If not, then why is the City asking for less? Multiple questions may not produce an accurate reflection of public sentiment. Some may vote against lower cost improvements because they believe the city should "do it right" and fund full improvements. Q: What are the options for financing municipal buildings? A: The two basic options for financing municipal buildings are a lease revenue bond through another governmental unit, including an Housing and Redevelopment Authority; and general obligation voted bonds. Each option has its relative strengths. Following are project capitalizations for each of the two funding options, along with estimated annual debt service costs plus a summary of advantages and disadvantages.

The interest earnings on the debt reserve would pay for a portion of the debt service. With both options it is assumed that the bond issue will be dated June 1, 2002 and that the first levy on property taxes would be 2003 for taxes payable in 2003. If construction start were later, the capitalized interest line item would be reduced. Interest rate projections were based on current interest rates. Actual debt service will vary dependent upon market conditions at time of sale. It is anticipated that member cities to the Mound Fire Department contract will contribute approximately one-half of the debt service cost for the Fire Department portion of the building estimated at $4.4 million. The impact of the contribution, if it occurs, is reflected in the tax impact estimates below. Project costs were estimated at $6.67 million based on the combined Fire and Police station. This did not include funds for city hall improvements. - 1998- Mound January 31, 2002 Page 3 Description Apply Against Debt Limit Tax Rate Base Annual Tax on $I00,000 Homestead/Net of MFD member contributions Annual Tax on $500,000 Business/Net of MFD member contributions Expected Bond Rating Timing, Available Funds Cost Comparisons Lease Revenue Bonds - HRA Yes, if over SIM Tax Capacity Value $98/$71 Voted G.O. Bonds Yes Referendum Market Value $95/$66 $906/$653 $477/$329 Baa 1 Baal 6 weeks 6 weeks after election The major difference between the options is that the property taxes for voted general obligation bonds are levied on Referendum Market Value rather than Tax Capacity Value. The effect of taxes on referendum market value is that a business or home with the same value will pay the same property tax. This is tree only for City and County referenda for capital purposes. School district referenda for debt are spread on tax capacity, according to current State statutes. With a lease revenue bond for cities and counties, the taxes are spread on tax capacity. Tax increment districts contribute to the debt service on the referendum market value rate while older TIF districts do not contribute under a tax capacity based debt service. The second major difference between the debt is the security. Under a Voted G.O. Bond, the City's full faith and credit is the security for bondholders, therefore the interest rate is the lowest. 'Under a lease revenue bond, the security is an annual appropriation pledge by the City to lease the facility from the HRA. If future City Council were to not make lease payments, the bondholders would have the right to take possession of the building. For this reason, the bond rating for a lease revenue bond is usually a step below a typical City G.O. bond rating. Either the HRA lease revenue bonds or the Voted G.O. Bonds can be financed over a longer term than 20 years, which would reduce annual payments and increase total interest cost. The Voted General Obligation Bonds do apply against the City's debt limit, which is 2% of the Assessor's Taxable Market Value. The value for taxes payable 2001 is $ 569,826,000 resulting in a debt limit of $11,396,250. According to our records, the City has $395,000 debt that applies against that limit currently. Types of debt, which count against the debt limit, include G.O. Equipment Certificates. Types of issues, which do not count against debt limit, include G.O. TIF Bonds, G.O. Water and Sewer Bonds, and G.O. Improvement Bonds. The proposed improvement bonds for CSAH 15 would not count against this debt limit, but would add to the tax impact. - 1999- Mound January2~, 2002 Page 4 Q: Outside of debt service costs are there other financial considerations related to constructing new buildings. A: Yes. It is usual for cities to experience reduced expense, long and short term, for building maintenance and operation, even considering increased building size. These expenses are sometimes reflected in operating budgets, more often than not the repairs are not budgeted. In addition, some workflow efficiencies can be improved with properly designed buildings. Q: Can the City hold a referendum and still issue lease purchase bonds? A: Yes. It is possible to issue lease purchase bonds even if a referendum is held. This approach does complicate communications to the public. The City would need to make clear why they would hold an election if not needed. Additionally, it is strongly recommended that lease purchase bonds not be issued if the referendum is unsuccessful. Q: What are the periods that a referendum can be conducted? A: The City may conduct a referendum until April 29, on September 10 (Primary election), November 5 (General election), December 16 - 31, (except December 25). -2000- Information requested by Council Member Osmeck.

Mound, MN 55364-1627 Re: City of Mound, Minnesota Dear Kandis: The City may hold a special election on the question of financing a fire hall facility for the City. Once the election is held and if the voters approve the issuance of the bonds for the fire hall project, the City has the legal authority to issue the bonds. There are no other procedures to be followed after the election except for the normal bonding procedures. These procedures involve the preparation of an official statement, the solicitation of competitive bids for the sale of the bonds, adoption of a resolution issuing the bonds and the delivery of the bonds to the Purchaser. From a timing standpoint, Ehlers and Associates typically utilizes a timeframe that allows 30 days for the preparation of the official statement, 14 days for the solicitation of bids and 30 days from the sale of the bonds to the closing of the bond issue and the delivery of the bonds to the purchaser. This schedule can be compressed, but you should consult with Jim Prosser about that. If the City determines to hold a special election, Briggs and Morgan would be pleased to prepare the election proceedings for you. We have model documents for election proceedings and we can prepare them for you quickly and at a very reasonable cost to the City. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Apparatus Space 2. Storage Space 3. Staffing Space 4. Training Space 5. Public Accessibility 6. Fire Apparatus Responding Sequence 7. Heating / Cooling Efficiency 8. Lighting / Electrical Condition 9. Structure Stability 10. Emergency Operations 11. Firefighter Safety within our Building 12. Physical Fitness Amenities It has been our responsibility to explore these areas of concem and provide solutions that would be true and accurate options to present to the citizens of our fire district as well as the staff and councils that govern these individual cities. In doing so we have met on a quarterly basis with our fire district members, held three separate open houses for the general public and have also completed a (95%) independent professional survey exploring the views of Mound citizens relating to the fire department needs. A special needs assessment was also performed for every department within the city. After many months of analyzing the needs of both the fire and police facilities it has brought us to this council meeting for your review of the preferred option that meets the current and future needs of both the fire and police departments. We have decided, with your approval, to limit the scope of this project facility to the fire and police based on the results of the survey that was presented by Decision Resources. It is at this time that we come before you seeking your approval of this option and to ask you also make a decision on the funding method to advance -2003- this project forward. We feel that by providing you with factual information you will be able to make the decision that will best serve the citizens of Mound and all the citizens of our fire and police district. It should be your charge to review, explore, discuss and act on the best option to provide the citizens you represent with the most COst efficient method of meeting these needs. Sincerely, The Members of the Mound Fire Department Facilities Committee -2004- Financing Options for a new Fire/Public Safety Facility The City of Mound directed its public financial advisor, Ehlers & Associates, to examine options for financing a new Fire/Public Safety Facility. in addition, Ehlers took an initial look at tax impacts on property owners of the various options. The two basic options for financing municipal buildings are: The table below compares the two options. Earliest possible date Mid 2002 Late 2002 of bond issuance Earliest possible date 2002 2003 of construction l) the issuance of revenue bonds by the Housing Rede- Estimated cost 0f project, $5.85 million $5.85 million Wl6pmehi Auth$~¢ (H~) ~ith the ci¢'i~aiin~ ~ building from the H~; or, Expected PaYment from Other $1.85 million $1.85 million 2) the issuance of General Obligations (G.O.) bonds by the City that have been approved by the voters. Under both financing alternatives the other cities in the Fire District would contribute their proportionate share for the construction of the Fire Department's portion of the facility. The biggest differences between the two financing options are the approval process, how the cost is borne by taxpayers and the timing. An issuance of G.O. bonds requires voter approval and the earliest that a referendum could occur would be during the September primary election. cities for Fire portion of facility Expected net cost to Mound $4.00 million $4.00 million Annual tax impact on $ 63 $ 61 $100,000 Mound home Annual tax impact on $125 $122 $200,000 Mound home Annual tax impact on $580 $304 $500,000 Mound business Annual tax impact on $1,206 $608 $1 million Mound business Costs have been reduced based on revenue expected to be received from other cities. OPEN HOUSE You are invited to attend a Mound Fire and Public Safety Facility Study Open House on Thursday, April 18, 4-8 p.m., Mound Fire Station. The Open House will be an opportunity for residents and area business people to learn more about the need, the options studied, the selected Fire/Public Safety facility option, cost impacts and financing methods. There will be no formal presentation. The open house format will allow attendees to come and-go as they please. 'CITY OF MOUND 5341 Maywood Road Mound, MN 55364-1687 (952) 472-0600 PRSRT. STD. U.S. Postage PAID Mound, MN Permit No. 87 * * * E C'R W S S * * * POSTALCUSTOM ER -2005- 0 J~ 0 -2006- It's about Public Safety a~'d Customer Service: To Our Customers, The Mound Fire Department was established almost 80 years ago in 1923 with the sole purpose of providing fire protection to the community of Mound. Since inception and to this day, the Mound fire brigade has had many dedicated members that have frequently risked their lives, spent countless hours working to improve the fire department services, and worked to become an i mp°rtant-part~ofth e communityrAtl~fthis~workhas-eome-at-aminimal cost to the :l~l citizens: All potential customers of fire department services, police services and emergency medical service (EMS) should be aware that things have changed dramatically over the past 80 years and especially over the last 25 years. The Mound Fire Department now provides a variety of services to Mound plus all (or a portion of) 5 other communities. The Mound firefighters feel fortunate and proud to provide these services to areas of Minnetrism, Orono, Spring Park, Minnetonka Beach, Shorewood and Mound. Although the Mound fire department is still a volunteer fire department, significant changes over the last 25 years have required the organization to be run more like a business. It is well understood in any business that (as a business) you are either: a). getting better at what you do and improving or b). getting worse at what you do and worsening. Rarely if ever, do organizations remain the same for any extended period &time. Over the last 25 years the fire department responses (requests for service) have increased by approximately 400%. We have made a solid effort to improve our service in every way, and based upon the requests for our services "trend" we feel we must be doing something right. It is the Mound fire department's mission to provide the best possible "PubUc Safety support and Customer Service" to all of our city's residents, customers, and visitors. This mission or assignment is NOT nearly as one dimensional as it was 80 years ago. The tasks we have accepted as firefighters now include auto extrication, ice and water rescue, EMS, hazardous materials response, and many, many other categories plus the still important job of fu'efighting. Our members have willingly accepted the challenges of today's fire service and are working diligently to be sure we meet the expected standards of our customers. The citizens of Mound and surrounding communities expect and deserve the bestpossible "Customer Service." It is our opinion that the existing fire station facility has become a negative factor in our fire department's ability to continue our ongoing improvement goals. This will have an impact on all of our customers at some point. All of the Mound fire department members would like to invite the citizens of Mound and surrounding communities to come to our open house scheduled for Thursday April ! 8, 2002. This open House will held at the Mound fire station between the hours of 4-8 p.m. Please take a few minutes and visit the fire station to evaluate the facility needs for yourself. We think our customers should make up their own minds based upon the real needs and facts. It's about your Public Safety and our Customer Service! Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully, The Members of the Mound FL,'e Department -2007- The u u.re ire er ice. I n't fire er ice by Chief Flichard B. Gasaway, Roseville Fire Department Wouldn,t itbe nice to be able to ~d effective fu:e prevention pro, Recently, ~e Baltimore look into a crystal ball and see the grams top the list. I attended a semi- future? Fast-forward your life ten years and see what you're up to... and what your fire department looks like. Okay, back to reality. No one knows what the future holds. And while we cannot predict the future of our fire departments, we can certain- ly play a role in creating it. How? Start by looking to the past, paying close attention to the trends that have developed over time. In general, advancements tend to develop slowly over time and go relatively unnoticed as they are hap- pening. Much like the way an ortho- dontist straightens crooked teeth. The doctor doesn't take a pair of pli- ers and twist the teeth until they are straight. Instead, slow, steady pres- sure is applied and over time, the teeth become straight. Look back on the fire service over the past 20 years and see how many things are differ- ent today then they were then. That's easy to see. Yet it's harder to see all the little events and changes that led up to the way the fire service oper- ates today. One of those trends is the decline in fires. What a nice problem to have. Nationally, and I'm sure in most of our communities, the num- ber of structure fires is declining. Many things have contributed to this trend. Better building and fire codes nar once where the speaker said; "We're the only business that, if we do our jobs well, we'd put ourselves out of business." The point he was trying to make was if we do a great job at preventing fires, we'd be out of the fire suppression business. Now we all know that so long as humans possess the ability to bring the three elements of the fire triangle together in the proper proportions there will be fires, be they arson or accidental. However, the trend shows clearly there is a decline in fires. The trends also show there has been a significant rise in emergency medical calls. Some fire departments already know this because they pro- vide some form of EMS for their community, either first responders or full transport services. However, there are still many departments who do not, for a variety of reasons, pro- vide any form of EMS for their com- munity. The future of any business is predicated on its ability to grow its business (serve a larger number of customers) and to provide a desired product or service (fulfill a customer need). Providing emergency medical care to the residents of your commu- nity is a way to grow your business and very likely the way to fulfill a customer need. (Maryland) Fire Dep~ment partici- pated in a comprehensive assess~ ment of its fire department. The report recommended, among other things, that "Baltimore City needs more Emergency Medical Resources" and "Resources should be reallocated from Fire Suppression to EMS." If you've been keeping your finger on the pulse of the nation's fire service, recommenda- tions such as these probably don't come as much of a surprise. As we move forward in this new millennium, budgets are sure to be tight and we're sure to be questioned about the need for all those firefight- ers and all that fzre equipment. Those questions are harder to answer when the trend shows the calls for service are declining and the fire loss statis- tics are improving. However, if we are creative in finding new sources of business while fulfilling a need for our residents, we stand a better chance of not only surviving.., but thriving. Richard B. Gasaway serves as the chief of the Roseville Fire Department. He is a 23- year veteran of the fire service. He holds a master's degree in business administration, is a graduate of the Executive Fire Officer Program at the National Fire Academy and is an accredited Chief Fire Officer by the International Association of Fire Chiefs. 18 -2008- MINNESOTA FIRE CHIEF Department Closes The Holyoke Volunteer Fire Department was organized in 1977. Membership at that time was 15, Over the years membership had dropped to seven. In 1988, a First Responder service was added. them of the situation. The fire department had tried different meth- ods to recruit members. There were public meetings held, flyers were made out and mailed to all the households in the area, and door to door visits carded out, as well as a people of the community were not willing to give of their time and offer their services to help with THEIR fire department in it's time of need, but when they needed our services we better be there and FAST!

Fires were few, but the medical calls were increasing. The closest ambulance service is a minimum of 30 minutes travel time. Needless to say our first responder service had offered an essential service. In 1990, several of the fire depart- ment Officers had felt the fire department's future would be bleak if membership was not increased. We had expressed our concern to our local government units to inform the fire department alive, such as mergers with adjacent fire depart- ments. The last day of the Holyoke Volunteer Fire Department was December 31, 2001. The f~re depart- ment. worked very hard at trying to offer an essential service to our com- munity over the last 25 years. It is not an easy task for a lot of fire departments to keep member- ship numbers at a level that is suffi- cient to adequately staff the fire department, and operate safely with trained individuals. It had become very apparent to us that some of the help in saving our fire department from closing. I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet many individuals who give of their time in the fn'e and EMS services. The citizens' of Minnesota should feel fortunate that all the fire depart- ments in our great state are continu- ally striving to offer the best service they can to their community. Keep up the great work!! Retired Fire Chief Holyoke Volunteer Fire Department Michael R. DaM: 1986 - 2001 Career Choice When I turn 18, my career choice will carry many risks. As a volunteer firefighter called to a fire, or an acci- dent, I face many risks that I'll have to overcome to do my job. If I let these risks overcome me then I can- not do my duty in protecting the public. In a house fire, firefighters must be concerned with many things. If a firefighter goes into a burning house without an air pack he/she runs the risk of getting smoke inhalation. A firefighter's SCBA might run out of air. The result is that a firefighter can suffocate if he/she doesn't reach fresh air. Another risk is if the ceil- ing or roof collapses. If this happens a firefighter could die or be trapped inside the burning house. The collapsing of structures brings me to a thought I had. The events of 9/11/01, made me stop and think about my career choice. When those firefighters went to work they didn't know that it might be their last. Those firefighters knew the risks but didn't care. They choose to do the job and help their co-workers and the people involved in the process. If the thought of dying that day went through one of the firefighter's mind it didn't change the fact that the job must be done. At a car accident scene, firefight- ers run the risk of being hit by another car just passing along while they are helping the people of the original accident or the risk of the car exploding, due to a ruptured fuel tank. In certain dangerous situations, a car is on a cliff, they have to worry about the car falling off with fire- fighters or other people inside. In Minnesota where I live, the thought of a car going through the ice or a guy driving in to a lake brings up more risks. A firefighter that goes into cold water has a chance, a slim one if he is wearing a gumby suit, that he/she might get hypothermia. To a firefighter that thought goes through his mind many times if he/she is in the water, but the thought of saving a life outweighs the risks involved. I come from a long line of people involved in public service. My dad and brother are both firefighters. My aunt and uncle are both EMTs and my grandpa was a firefighter, police officer, and EMT for 30 years. My grandpa really knew the risks but he just put them in the back of his mind and did his job. In my family the risks of injury in performance of duty are enormous but are nothing compared to the joy of saving a life or someone's property. A simple thank you is enough to make it worth the risks. They never once let the risks get to them. I feel the honor of being a firefighter and the knowl- edge that I'm helping people is the main reason. Honor outweighs the risks of the job. As George Orwell once said, "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." Justin Jurek Justin's Father and ~llrother are members of the Wtctoria Fire Department MARCH/APRIL 2002 - 2009- Lakeshore Weekly News 'Fire thanks' To the Editor: To the citizens of MoUnd, Spring Park, Navarre, Min- netonka Beach and Shore- wood: When you get a call at work that your house is on fire, you panic. You feel help- ' less. You race to the scene not knowing what to expect. Thursday, March 14, at 11:30 a.m., I received this very call. Outside, a thick and greasy snowstorm was complicating travel around the area. By the time I got my coat and got through the door at work, the first fire truck went by. When I arrive at the house, the scene was surreal. Thick black smoke was pouring out the front door, my wife was screaming, crying that the. animals are dead. Completely covered in black, one of our three Labrador retrievers lay in the snow, having difficulty' breathing. I wanted to see what was happening but I was restrained for my own protec- tion. There were three fire trucks, police and neighbors, but chaotic order. The fire department had been here before. They were trained. They were willing to risk their lives in protective gear and respirators to save our house, search for our ani- mals, and reassure us that they were doing everything possible. They were. Knowing what to do and when on this day, they saved our house. When you have already accepted the death of family and pets and a firefigliter exits your house with your cat under his arm covered in soot and smoke and the cat is alive, that is joy. That is life. That ia a hero. Four hours later, another cat emerged, presumed dead, but very much alive. Heroes were everywhere amongst the eerie black charred calm that surrounds the aftermath ora fire. : ' ~i:~::~ ~:~ Everyday I. thank the Mound Volunteer Fire Department and Mound Police Department for being there in our moment of need. You need to know what a dif- ference you. made in our lives. How may we praise your self- lessness and courage? I'm told that another two to five more minutes and we would have lost it all. After sorting through the intact but severely smoke damaged upper floors of my 'home, the thought rings in my head to this day, "Another two to 'five minutes and my home -- gone." I realized that something must be done now. I recently attended the open house for the presenta- tion of our options and needs assessment for the Mound Police and Fire departments. Every day we postpone the decision to build the best pos- sible facilities for public serv- ice in our town ~will cost us more money in 'the future, and may cost someone their home, livelihood, or most importantly, life. I call upon the citizens of all the communities that the Mound Fire and Police departments serve, including Mound, Spring Park, Navarre, Minnetonka Beach, Orono, and Shorewood, to pledge your full support in con- structing a desperately needed new facility in Mound. Our 47-year-old fire station is woefully inadequate now and for the future. Let us put pride in the directive that Mound will have the best public service facilities to support the heroic members of our fire and Police depart- ments. The benefit of community pride, preparedness and greater appreciation in prop- erty value far outweigh the cha~ge We invest~ thr0?~gh ..our taxes. ' The selfishness to P~)st- pone or put off these deci- sions to whoever is coming next is shortsighted. The atti- tude I hear has people trip- ping over $20s to pick up a dime. I call upon the mayor, council members and citizens to act directly, decisively and without delay. The. financial advantage for locking a low interest rate demands a clear and swift action plan now. Will the cost of labor and materials be more next year? Yes. Will the cost of money be more next year? Yes. Will the demand for serv- ices go down next year? No. Show your support and attend the forums. Let the city, Fire and Police depart- ments know that we are behind them. G6d bless the Mound Police and Fire departments. -- E Todd Warner and Dana Bruzek Mound 'Praises Henry' To the Editor: I read the article by Brenda Henry that was in the [April 2 Lakeshore Weekly News]. I enjoyed it very much, as it was something anyone could relate to.

The purpose of the report is to point out the financial condition of the City of Mound to the City Council, which sets the policies that direct the future of the City. The financial recaps included in this report provide you with a preliminary summary of the City of Mound's financial position for 2001. The year 2001 was a productive one in the Finance Department. I would like to thank the staff of the department, Joyce, Cotlette and Sue, for their hard work during this challenging year. I look forward to a productive year in 2002. Respectfully, Gino Businaro Finance Director My first responsibility is the supervision of the Finance Staff. ! -2034- The current personnel in the Finance Department is as follows: NAME TITLE STARTING DATE Sue Schwalbe Collette Roberts Joyce Nelson Gino Businaro Accounts Payable Clerk 09-15-99 Accounting Clerk/Payroll 03-12-99 Utility Billing Clerk 05-31-77 Finance Director 11-23-92 The finance staff should be commended for the teamwork, cooperation, and dedicated work they have demonstrated in 2001. JO¥CE NELSON Joyce handles the water and sewer billing process. We have approximately 3,500 residential accounts that are billed quarterly on a cyclical basis (the City is divided into three billing districts). In addition, there are 125 commercial accounts that receive a bill every month. With this many customers to serve Joyce is kept quite busy. At the same time Joyce coordinates the various recycling programs. As an example of participation, for the month of October, out of 13,652 households, 4,542 had their recyclable set out. That is a 33% participation. The total materials collected for the year was 969.37 tons. Joyce also continues to assist Greg Skinner in public works with some of the paperwork and computer data entry as time allows. Sue Schwalbe Sue does the special assessment searches of properties as requested by Realtors, title companies or residents when a house in Mound is purchased. Sue receipts any prepayments of special assessments and she notifies the County of the prepayment. Any money collected is invested to pay off the special assessment bonds when they become due. Sue's major responsibility is the processing of payments to city vendors (the accounts payable function). She codes and enters into the computer all the invoices and pays city vendors for purchases of goods or services. In 2001 more than 3,650 checks were issued for a total of $7,034,696. Sue spends a considerable amount of time helping people at the counter with issues relating to Finance, P&I, and Docks. Collette Roberts Collette, as the Payroll Clerk, is responsible for all functions related to payments and benefits to city employees. She maintains and processes payroll every two weeks. In 2001 more than 1,500 payroll checks were issued to employees and more than 300 checks were issued for other payroll related purposes for a total of more than 2.5 million dollars. Some of these payments are made by phone 2 -2035- with a direct debit to the city bank account. She works with and maintains all documentation for each employee from the hiring date to termination and post retirement. As the General Ledger Clerk, Collette works in the following areas: Data entry for the computerized financial system and ~onthly reports' distribution to departments Computer back up's and year end closing of Finance and payroll applications Miscellaneous receipts and receivables Employees benefit enrollment, changes to benefits and related requirements Miscellaneous billing and reports to other agencies Reports for the Liquor Store: monthly sales tax reports, NSF checks Preparation of monthly, quarterly, and yearly reports to various federal and state agencies Bank reconciliation DePot Rental The Depot rental income over the last six years was as follows: 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000. 2001 $1,825 $2,322 $2,550 $2,975 $3,995 2,926 INVESTMENTS Cash management and investment of City funds are an important aspect of my job. The first objective in investing City funds is safety, legal constraints, and liquidity. Taking safety and liquidity into account, I look for the best market rate of return, normally within a 3-month range. I continue to follow a policy of investing only with broker/dealers in this state from the list approved by the City Council at their first meeting in January. The following is a breakdown of investments as of December 31 2001: ' Commercial Paper Money Market TOTAL 3,917,505 3,574,520 $ 7,492,025 A comparison of interest earned for the City on all funds is as follows: 3 -2036- 1993 335,667 1994 318,235 1995 249,700 1996 214,868 1997 219,401 1998 207,285 1999 204,247 2000 267,444 2001 245,413 Interest income in 1995-99 was down from 1993-94. This is due primarily to the decrease of cash balances available for investment and the interest fluctuation in the financial markets. In 2000 the interest rates available in the market made it possible to realize a reasonable increase. In 2001, even though the cash balances are up, the interest rates were very low. Ail interest income is accumulated in the Investment Trust Account and distributed to the funds in proportion to the average balance during the year. For example, during 2001, the General Fund was allocated $44,182 in interest (18% of all interest earned) while the Capital Improvements Fund was allocated $35,343 in interest (14% of total interest). BUDGET Preparing the data for the annual budget document that is submitted to the Council is another important function of my job. During June, I estimate the revenues for the current year and also work on an estimate of the expenditures for the current year. I work closely with the City Manager in budgeting revenue amounts and salary projections for the following year. The Finance Department budget is my responsibility, along with portions of the City Property, the Special Revenue Funds and the debt service requirements. Once the City Manager reviews the expenditure budgets with each of the department heads, the budget is compiled, analyzed and adjustments are made. The document is then prepared and presented to the Council for approval. The Water and Sewer Funds are examined during the budget process. The projected revenues and expenses are used to determine the adequacy of the rates. The Enterprise Funds (LiqUor, Water, Sewer, Recycling, and Storm Water Utility) are presented to the Council along with the General Fund for Council approval. OUTSTANDING DEBT The total outstanding debt as of 12-31-2001 is $5,085,000, with $620,000 in refunding bonds. The following details the outstanding debt: COMMERCE PLACE DEBT SERVICE BONDS This fund accounts for principal and interest payments on the 20 years' bonds sold in 1985. The bonds will be paid for from the tax increment from the Commerce Place Development. The increment from the development is sufficient to make the principal and interest 4 -2037-, payments. With the developers' letter of credit and the Mound Clinic and Thrifty White as corner stores, Commerce Place is meeting all of its financial obligations. The City made principal payments of $190,000 during 2001, and has an outstanding balance of $555,000 at Decermber 31, 2001. In 1993 TIF Refunding Bonds in the amount of $795,000 were issued and $465,000 of it is outstanding as of December 31, 2001. SPECIAL ASSESSMENT BONDS Special Assessment Funds are used to account for the construction and financing of certain public improvements such as streets, sidewalks, street lighting and storm sewers. Bonds are issued and are paid for in full or in part from the special assessments levied against benefitted properties. New bonds in the amount of $780,000 were issued during 2001. As of December 31, 2001 the City has a $780,000 outstanding balance of special assessments bonds payable. LIOUOR, WATER/SEWER/STORM-WATER REVENUE BONDS The principal and interest on Liquor, Water/Sewer/Storm-Water Revenue Bonds are paid out of the revenue generated from the Liquor, Water, Sewer and Storm Water Funds. During the year 2001 the City issued $1,155,000 of Municipal Liquor Store Revenue Bonds and $1,330,000 of G.O. Water/Storm-Sewer Revenue Bonds. The City made principal payments of $85,000 during 2001, and has an outstanding balance of $3,340,000 at December 31, 2001. In 1993 bonds were issued in the amount of $1,350,000 with 45% allocated to the Water Fund and 55% to the Sewer Fund. PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY DEBT SERVICE This fund accounts for the principal and interest on bonds issued in 1988. The principal revenue source is a property tax levy. The City made principal payments of $70,000 during 2001 and has an outstanding balance in building refunding bonds of $155,000 at December 31, 2001. The following shows the total outstanding debt for the City of Mound over the past 10 years: Year 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 G.O. 5 835,000 5 500 000 4 845 000 4 270 000 3 570 000 2 920 000 2 590 000 2 260000 1 910 000 5 085000 G.O.

SPECIAL ASSESSMENT LEVIES The general property tax levy is discussed every year during the budget process. The other significant item on the tax statement for Mound residents is the various special assessment levies. The following is the annual special assessments levied on Mound taxpayers during the past ten years and for 2002: 1993 482,500 1994 413,177 1995 330,903 1996 213,644 1997 74,844 1998 81,972 1999 91,380 2000 88,009 2001 80,878 2002 74,905 The major street projects were completed in 1978-1980. The total assessments on the taxpayers increased dramatically once these projects were assessed. Since 1982, the annual assessments have consistently declined. The corresponding Special Assessment bonds payable has decreased from $8,450,000 in 1986 to zero in 1998. In 2001 the City issued $780,000 of Improvement Bonds for City Walls replacement and street improvements. A good portion of the year 2002 assessments consists of delinquent utility bills certified to the county for one installment payment. AUDIT Preparing for the annual audit is another important responsibility of my job. I prepare all the statements, schedules and notes to the financial statements for the annual audit. Our audit costs are reduced since all the statements and notes are done in house. The 2000 audit report received the National GFOA award "Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting." The certificate program judges an audit report on various criteria, including clarity, comparability and completeness. This is the thirteenth consecutive year the City of Mound has received this award. I plan on updating the audit report annually and submit future years' reports for this award. INSURANCE We have the majority of our insurance coverage with the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust. They have provided the City with good coverage and the costs for insurance have stabilized in the last few years. Our agent of record is Carl Bennetsen of Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. of MN. Inc. 6 -2039- I have the responsibility of coordinating the City's insurance activity. I file all claims that are made against our insurance policies for the City automobiles, property damage, general liability, and workers compensation. COMPUTER OPERATIONS It is my job to supervise the overall computer operation. We have an on-site IBM Server with software purchased from Banyon Data Systems, Inc. located in Burnsville, MN. The following software programs are currently operating on our system: Utility Billing, Fund Accounting, Accounts Payable, Payroll, and Water Meter Reading. The finance staff does an excellent job working on the computer operations. The finance department has available four personal computers, all connected to the Server. The use of the PC enables me to work efficiently with many spreadsheets for cash flow analysis, investment need projections, fixed assets inventory, budget projections, e-mail, City web page, and various other applications. At the same time Collette, Sue, and Joyce have the opportunity to use the PC and maintain various files in the payroll area, accounts payable, and the utility services area. We use the DSL line to submit reports to various government agencies and others. City employees have a strong interest in learning to work with PCs, which help them to be more efficient with their tasks. FUND STRUCTURE The following is a description of the funds of the City of Mound: GENERAL FUND The General Fund accounts for the Revenues and Expenditures to carry out the basic governmental activities of the City, such as administration, police, inspections, streets, economic development, and parks. General Fund expenditures are made primarily for current day to day operating expenses. Major sources of revenue are the property tax and local government aid. FUND BALANCE The undesignated fund balance of the General Fund is projected to be $1,191,890 for the year ended 2001. It is important for the City to maintain the current fund balance. This reserve is necessary to meet expenses in the General Fund until tax money and local government aid are remitted to the City in June/July. For cash flow purposes the city would be required to issue tax anticipation bonds if the fund balance is reduced considerably or eliminated. The following table shows previous year end Undesignated General Fund balances, compared to adopted expenditures budget for the past ten years: 7 -2040- ~ENERAL FUND UNDESIGNATED FUND BALANCE BUDGET BE~INNIN~ OF YEAR 1992 2,249,350 478,612 21.3 1993 2,325,780 471,469 20.3 1994 2,366,950 484,569 20.5 1995 2,418,030 684,508 28.3 1996 2,443,830 770,649 31.5 1997 2,591,760 998,106 38.5 1998 2,776,950 1,230,858 44.3 1999 2,893,580 1,211,064 41.9 2000 3,084,750 1,191,456 38.6 2001 3,266,340 878,058 26.9 2002 3,524,160 1,191,890 33.8 REVENUES/EXPENDITURES In 2001 Revenues received for general governmental operations were $3,246,915 and Expenditures for general government operations were $3,174,118. A detail statement with budget and actual comparisons will be presented to the Council once the Audit of the 2001 financial position and activities is completed. An analysis of major increases or decreases from the prior year will be included in the audited comprehensive annual financial report. SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS Special Revenue Funds are used to account for certain tax levies and other earmarked revenue. Th'e following is a list of the City's Special Revenue Funds and Fund balances as of 12-31-2001: Cemetery Area Fire Serv. Dock Park Dedication Fees (2,590) 280,043 127,591 151,204 CAPITAL IMpROvEMENT FUND Capital Improvement Fund has been established to segregate funds to be used for various types of capital outlay expenditures. The following is the 2001 activity of this fund: Balance 1-1-2001 Revenues Lost Lake Canal transfer from State Proceeds from sale of bonds Total Available 350,701 172,671 509,961 736,237 1,~18,869 Expenditures 8 -2041 - Capital Outlay 2,793 Balance 12-31-2001 1,666,013 This balance is designated for the completion of the Lost Lake Canal, the Auditor's Road Trail, the reDlacement of City Walls and the Westedge Blvd. Street Improvement. In the past the Capital Improvement Fund has been an imDortant one-time revenue source for the City o£ Mound. It has allowed the City to undertake projects that benefitted the City without having to issue debt to finance them. Revenues for this fund were obtained with equity transfers from debt service funds that were used to account for bonds that had been recalled or that had expired. No additional debt service funds are left to replenish this fund. TIF 1-2 Downtown Redevelopment This Fund has been established in 2001 to account for the revenues and expenditures relating to the new Downtown Tax Increment Financing District. As of December 31, 2001 this fund has a negative balance of $1,349,968. The future taxes generated from the property values' increases will pay for these front end costs. SEALCOAT This fund is used to account for the five-year rotation to sealcoat the streets in Mound. The total cost of the project for 2001 was $79,154, which was financed by the Liquor Store profits. ENTERPRISE FUNDS Enterprise Funds are used to account for the financing of services to the general public in which all or most of the revenues are generated from user charges. LIOUORFUND The year 2001 was a good one for the Liquor Store. The operating income for the year was $126,910. A condensed summary for the liquor operations for the years ended December 31, 2001 was published in the Laker early this year and the audited statements will be presented to the Council later in May. WATER FUND The total net loss for the year 2001 was $3,571. This amount is less than projected due to a combination of decreases in revenues and increases in expenditures. A full set of statements will be presented to you after the audit is completed. The cash balance in 9 -2042- the water fund increased from $851,271 to $959,870. The net increase is due to the proceeds from the sale of bonds for the Westedge Blvd. watermain and the Auditor's Road Well. SEWER FUND The total net income for the year 2001 was $166,326. This amount is more than projected due to a combination of increases in revenues and decreases in expenditures. The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission disposal charge went up by $60,747 (from $390,804 to $451,551.) The cash balance in the sewer fund decreased from $909,962 to 598,197. A full set of statements for this fund will be presented to you after the audit is completed. STORM WATER FUND The Storm Water Fund was established in 2001 to account for the revenues and expenditures relating to the improvements and maintenance of the City storm sewer system. As of December 31, 2001 the fund balance of this fund is $87,220 and the cash balance is $834,136. During the year the City sold bonds in the amount of $760,000 to pay for a number of projects that will be done in 2002. The bonds will be paid back from charges to residents through the utility billing system. RECYCLING The revenues for the year 2001 was $129,423. This amount is similar to the prior year. The fund balance in the recycling fund decreased from $99,077 to $91,654. A full set of statements for this fund will be presented to you after the audit is completed. In 1994 Hennepin County reduced the reimbursement to $.80 per household from the $1.75 reimbursement in 1993. The estimated grant from the County in 2002 will be $30,180 and the City household charge $82,700 ORGANIZATIONS I am a member of the Minnesota Government Finance Officers Association (MGFOA). There are currently 550/600 members. Monthly meetings are held in the metro area, with an annual conference held in the fall of the year. One of the requirements for keeping current my CPA certificate is that I maintain a continuing education program each year. Continuing education and training is a high priority in my professional development. I obtain the vast majority of my education credits through MGFOA. I am also the Treasurer of the Mound Crime Prevention Association. ]0 -2043- This non profit association at this time is involved with the City DARE program, the K-9, the Skate Park, the Buy a Brick programs, and the DARE Open. ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR 2001 Specific accomplishments are as follows: New Tax Increment District The addition of a new tax increment district has brought excitement to the city of Mound. At the same time many unique transactions were and are being dealt with by the finance department. Storm Water Utility Fund Even if the setting of fees for the Storm Water Management Fund was a long process, the City Council did approve them and we were able to set them in place and start collection through the utility billing system. New Financial System A major effort was directed toward replacing the Financial System. The process of procuring and converting was long and tasking. Once the new system was put in place, all of us had to learn it, get used to it, and become proficient with it. I know that the staff and myself were well challenged. We think that we were successful even if at times obstacles looked tough to deal with. Issuance of the 2000 Comprehensive A~nual F~-ncial ReDort The report received an unqualified opinion from independent auditor and the Certificate of Excellence Financial Reporting from the GFOA. the in Insurance Clalms Activity In 2001 we had again a number of claims in the general liability, auto, and workers compensation areas. We also reviewed the present insurance coverage. Pre-Tax Plans The City employees were offered a Pre-Tax Plan in May of 1993. The plan was set up, maintained and extended into 2002. Almost all employees joined the plan, which benefits both the employees and the City in reducing Social Security, Federal and State tax payments. Computer suDDort City employees are using the computer for many applications. I enjoy helping, time permitting, with the inevitable problems that arise. Most of the time we deal with software issues, but at times the hardware needs repairs or upgrades. With the increase in the number of PC and the added applications, more and more support is 11 -2044- required. COALS FOR 2002 Work in the Finance Department will continue at a steady Dace in 2002. The normal cycle calls for the staff to'meet their deadlines in the payroll, accounts payable, and utility billing areas. The Finance Director will continue to cover the investments, the audit, the insurance claims, the preparation of reports, and all the other responsibilities in the financial, insurance, data processing, and supervision areas. Special challenges in 2002 will be related to the new TIF district and other related projects. In addition, my efforts will be to work with the new City Manager as she will direct. A major effort will be directed toward becoming more familiar with the new Financial System. We need to learn and make efficient use of the many features of the Banyon Data System. Some applications are upgraded on a regular basis and that can present a challenge at times. The staff and myself are committed to this system and we know that we can make it work well for the purpose it was designed. We thank the City Council and the City Manager for investing in a system that should serve us well. CONCLUSION Thank you for having given me the opportunity to point out the areas of special note in the operation of the Finance Department. The year 2001 was a productive one for the City in the financial area. The direction provided by you, the City Council, made it happen. -2045- ~ A8 ZBFIZ 14'._~2:BR 9~a ~a× AMM FAX II -> 55Z4?ZOGZB Kan&is Xansan ~age OBZ Of BB3 I rtner hll in pr°vidin t lutions April 8 -12, 2002 Met Council drafts expanded Environmental Policy Plan Prior to this year's Blueprint up- date, the Metropolitan Council has traditionally adopted four "policy plans" corresponding with the four regional systems- parks and open space, aviation, transportation and wastewater services. However, as part of this Council's additional emphasis on environmental pro- tection, the fourth policy plan is currently being expanded from simply a wastewater services plan to a much broader environmental policy plan, which will incorporate wastewater services as well as a variety of other environmental is- sues. The wastewater services compo- nent will be the only part where the Council has the authority of an of- ficial regional system, but local comp plans will be evaluated against the new components when the Council utilizes its review and comment authority. The Met Council's Environment Committee and several advisory groups have been working on the draft Environmental Policy Plan, which will include an overall envi- ronmental goal, as well as goal, policy and implementation state- ments for the following nine areas: natural resources, wastewater ser- vices, water quality, water supply, river corridors, energy, brownfields, air and solid waste. The natural resources goal, policy and implementation statements stem from the Natural Resources Inventory (NRI) that the Council has been working on for almost a year now. Originally scheduled for completion by the end of 2001, compilation ofthe regional NRI has been delayed by technical and scheduling difficulties and is now scheduled for completion in early June. The draft policy plan will be dis- CUssed by the Metropolitan Council's Environmental Policy Committee on Tuesday, April 9 and by the full Council at the April 17 meeting of the Regional Growth Policy Committee.

(H.F. 3270). This conference committee has met twice- once to review the two bills and once to receive public testimony. The public testimony focused primarily on the health and human services portions of the two bills. The House bill reduces the human services budget by $56.9 million and spends $347.2 million of the tobacco endowment to address the state budget short- fall. The Senate bill does not make any additional cuts in the human services budget, but does include a 30-cent per pack in- crease in the cigarette tax effec- tive May t, 2002 and another 30- cent increase effective Jan. 1, 2003. At this time the conferees have not addressed the tax an~ public finance sections of the Sen- ate bill or scheduled their next meeting. Transportation Funding. This conference committee has aisc met twice- once to review the two bills and once to receive public tes- timony. The House bill authorizes the issuance of $750 million in transportation bonds, to be paid for by existing revenue sources, and uses the bond proceeds to reduce highway bottlenecks and improve interregional corridors. The Senate bill increases the gas tax and provides funding for both transit and roads. The Senate also authorizes a metropolitan area ref- erendum for a half-cent sales tax to support transportation projects. Capital P~'ojecte (Bonding). This committee has yet to have a sec- ond meeting due to the lack of a spending target. Legislature Debates Raising Cigarette Tax The Senate has adopted a budget the issue at its April 4 meeting. balancing bill that includes an in- crease in the state's cigarette tax, Under the Senate proposal, the tax would increase 30-cents per pack effective May 1,2002 and another 30-cents per pack effective Janu- ary 1,2003, with the proceeds de- posited in the state's general fund. The House does not have a simi- lar Provision. While AMM does not have a position on the cigarette tax, the AMM Board did discuss AMM Board member and Minne- apolis city council member Paul Zerby briefed the Board on the is- sue and shared copies of a reso- lution passed by the Minneapolis city council supporting a cigarette tax increase.

The Senate provision, which is not included in the House bill (H.F. 2622), would authorize a 25-cent increase in the statewide 911 sur- charge. Revenue from the~in- crease would provide additional funds for 911 Public Safety An- swering Points (PSAPs) and for the 800 MHz Metropolitan Radio Board. Technological upgrades and expansions in both systems are necessary in order to provide citizens with effective and efficient emergency response services. Please contact your local Repre- sentatives and/or House members of the conference committee to express the city community's sup- port for the Senate provision re- garding the 911 surcharge. Mem- bers of the conference committee, which is scheduled to meet again on Monday, April 15, include Rep. Stanek (R-Maple Grove), Rep. Tuma (R-Northfield), Rep. Murphy (DFL-Hermantown), Rep.

In the case ofthe q'BRA and LCDA programs, requests would first be <- scored in the same manner as in past years and then would receive up to 10 "bonus" points based on their Housing Performance Score. The number of bonus points would be determined by dividing the city's Housing Performance Score by 10 and rounding up. So for ex- ample, if a city has a Housing Per- formance Score of 76, proposals from that city would receive 8 bo- nus points when their requests for funding from TBRA and LCDA are reviewed. The exception to this would be when a TBRA or LCDA request in- cludes an affordable housing com- ponent, in which case the Council does not want to disadvantage that xu3 U!A HT:BH:ST ZOHZ ZT a~[l) £o'd ~ioi A_ssociaSon of Metropolitan Municipalities News Fax proposal because of a city's Iow Housing Performance Score, which largely reflects past perfor- mance.

When evaluating this proposal, it is important to keep in mind that the ranking of requests for funding is not the determining factor in which projects actually receive funding.

If the Council were to target LHIA dol- lars to cities with higher Housing Performance Scores it could lead to a case of the "rich getting dcher." The Met Council intends to final- ize a method for incorporating Housing Performance Scores in time for this spring's round of LCDA funding and the fall round of TBRA and LHIAfunding. Addition- ally, the Council intends to re-evalu- ate the method of calculating Housing Performance Scores prior to the end of the year, In the case of the Local Housing Incentives Account (LHIA), which is administered in cooperation with the Metropolitan Council, the Min- nesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA), the Greater Minnesota Housing Fund and the Family Housing Fund through a "super- AMM is in the process of evaluat- ing this proposal and would appre- ciate input from member cities.

A MUSA city is defined as any city that cur- rently lies partially or wholly within the 2O20 MUSA. Between now and 2008, the pro- posed policy would allow these cit- ies to locate growth and development anywhere within their jurisdiction as long as regional systems will be available and adequate. According to Met Council staff, the idea is to ace more emphasis on how corn- unities grow and less emphasis on where. The proposed policy is likely to have the greatest impact on cities that cur- rently have a significant portion of their land supply outside the MUSA. For example, Hugo, Forest Lake, Cottage Grove, Inver Grove Heights, Rosemount and Shakopee are all likely to be impacted by the new policy.

Met Council staff has stated that the pro- posed MUSA policy is based on the following conclusions drawn from that analysis: · "The currently designated 2020 MUSA does not have enough ser- viceable, potentially developable land to accommodate the latest 2020 residential growth forecast. Newly developing communities will need to expand the MUSA sometime during the planning period, depending on the circumstances in individual cities." · "In cities where the 2020 MUSA already splits the community, adding the remaining land within those cit- ies to the MUSA would make the re- gional land supply just adequate to accommodate forecasted 2030 growth." · 'Changes in key residential devel- opment vadables such as housing mix, density, and infill/redevelopment amounts can have a significant ef- fect on how long MUSA land supplies last." Council staff has suggested that the new policy will allow for more quali- tative decisions regarding the provi- sion of metropolitan services and more individualized solutions to cit- ies' development issues. Under the proposed policy, MUSA cities would essentially be allowed to "stage" their own MUSA and wouJd be encouraged to "plan for their en- tire jurisdiction, taking into account municipal growth forecasts, infill and redevelopment opportunities, local and regional abilities to provide infra- structure, community preferences and other factors." To implement the proposed policy, Council staff has suggested that the Council pledge to work with MUSA cities to "monitor platting practices and land supply/demand to ensure adequate supplies of serviceable, potentially-developable land on a sub- regional basis." Cities will be asked tO plan fora 20-year land supply and the Council will commit to a 10-year service allocation. The 1 O-year ser- vice allocation will be a rolling allo- cation, so that cities can always be looking 10 years out, and it will not be tied to specific parcels of land within the community. A discussion paper outlining the en- tire proposed policy and implemen- tation framework is posted on the AMM web site at www. amm145.org.

Thursday: Floor sessions were held but none of the major conference committees met. Outlook: May 20, the constitutional deadline for adjournment is looking more likely. On Wednesday, the budget reconciliation conference committee met for three hours and adjourned with no plans to reconvene. The meeting bounced around from topic to topic, including an attempt by Senator Dick Day to pursue the Senate Republican compromise that splits many of the differences between the House and the Senate. Toward the end of the meeting, the frustration of members was readily apparent and best illustrated by Representative Ron Abrams when he turned to the audience and asked, "Has anyone heard an original thought from the conferees in the last 45 minutes?" After a brief period of silence, Representative Tom Pugh asked Abrams "Why are you limiting your question to the last 45 minutes?" Earlier in the meeting, the Senate offered a proposal to temporarily impose the cigarette and tobacco taxes until the state's budget reserve was replenished to $500 million and a $153 million education reserve account was reached. The proposal included the original Senate plan to refinance $245 million in transportation projects and shift approximately $300 million in school aid payments to the next biennium, House members were noticeably cool to the proposal and critical of the lack of progress by the Senate on the most April 19, 2002 Page 1 controversial components including the tax increases and the refinancing of the transportation projects. Will progress be forthcoming next week? The House and Senate will hold floor sessions on Monday but as of this morning, the budget reconciliation, bonding, stadium, anti-terrorism and the transportation finance conference committees have yet to announce plans to meet. If the session ends without a House/Senate agreement that can sustain a potential gubernatorial veto, the job of balancing the state's budget could fall back on the governor. Under state law, the governor and the commissioner of finance can make "unallotments" in state spending to balance the remaining deficit. Given that the governor has been critical of the Phase I plan for protecting local governments, we could certainly see cuts in July and December aid payments this year if the unallotment authority is exercised. If you have an opportunity to communicate with your legislators, tell them that allowing the governor to solve the problem through unallotment is not an acceptable outcome for cities. Urge them to find a compromise between the House and Senate positions. Transportation: Slight signs of significance Although you could hardly call it rush hour, the transportation conference committee was moving at about that pace. The conference committee for the transportation funding bill (HF 3364) met twice this week--Tuesday and Wednesday--and failed to agree on any provisions. Tuesday, the Senate conferees moved adoption of the multimodal fund provision, the six cent gas tax increase, indexing of the gas tax, the metropolitan area For more infotmalion on city legislative issues, conla¢! any member of Ih¢ l.,~ague of Minnesota Ciliea Intergovernmental Relations team. 651.281.1200 or 800.925.1122 -2051 - ~r 19 ZBBZ 1Z:51:45 V~a Fax -> %Z4?ZBGZO A&~n~ra~or ~age 00Z Of 8BZ 'd -Frl ayFax- A weekly legislative update from the League of Minnesota Cities sales tax referendum and the proposed change in the County State Aid formula (CSAH). The motions failed on votes split predictably between the House and Senate. On Wednesday, the House came back with a counter proposal. The House conferees presented all the transportation provisions they support, including: · Authorizing $750 million in Trunk Highway Bonds. · A position opposing the conversion of $245 million remaining from the 2000 road construction appropriation to Trunk Highway Bonds. · Support for $54 million in Metropolitan Council transit capital bonds. · $116 million in General Obligation bonds that is currently in the House version of the bonding bill for local roads (local bridges, 10-ton upgrades, local road improvement program, town sign replacement and Greater Minnesota transit capital facilities). · A new provision, a "floating" gas tax increase to finance any Trunk Highway bonds issued in addition to the $750 million authorized in the bill. · Distribution of the Trunk Highway bond proceeds as currently provided for in the House bill. · A constitutional amendment to permanently dedicate the existing motor vehicle sales tax (MVST) dollars to transportation. The fact that the House brought up the issue of any kind of gas tax increase signals some movement on the House side. No formal action was taken on the House proposal, however, and much of the discussion at the Wednesday conference committee meeting centered around April 19, 2002 Page 2 the fact that a number of House members signed a pledge in 2000 promising not to raise any taxes. Increasing the state's gas tax would be a violation of that pledge, so getting any kind of gas tax increase through the House will be problematic. Ihe chairs, Rep. William Kuisle (R-Rochester) and Sen. Dean Johnson (DFL-Willmar) have not indicated when they plan to re, convene. Conferees have urged the chairs to meet privately to begin negotiating a compromise. Meanwhile, Senate Republicans have suggested the conference committee consider adoption of a four-cent-per-gallon gas tax increase. House Republicans have not responded to the "middle ground" suggestion. Provisions of Public Finance Senator Ann Rest and Representative Ron Abrams held a series of informal public meetings this week to work out the details of the 2002 Public Finance Bill. The bill, advanced by the Minnesota Institute of Public Finance, contains several provisions supported by cities. The final bill may include such provisions as authorizing cities to issue bonds to pay for reconstruction of streets, authorizing the Metropolitan Council to establish a redevelopment loan account to assist communities in preparing sites for development / redevelopment, formalizing public hearing requirements for eminent domain proceedings involving development and extending the maturity for economic development authority bonds from 20 years to 30 years. A final hearing on the bill is likely next week. Given that the Public Finance Bill is traditionally one of the last bills to pass at the end of session, movement on this bill may be a good omen that the session and the budget dilemma could actually be settled by May 20th.

Len Price (DFL-Woodbury), Sen. Linda Berglin (DFL-Minneapolis) and Sen. Dick Day (R-Owatonna). No premature adjournment At the end of the floor session on Thursday, Representative Len Biernat (DFL-Minneapolis) offered his promised motion to adjourn sine die. Several members from both parties opposed the motion, essentially agreeing that adjournment would be shirking their legislative responsibility. Representative Mike Osskopp (R-Lake City) went as far as calling on the resignation of members that would rather leave than finish the people's work. In the end, Representative Biernat withdrew his motion. However, House Majority Leader Tim Pawlenty indicated that if progress is not forthcoming, the House majority might take "significant action" as early as next week. He did not elaborate on what this significant action might be, however adjournment might be one alternative. Ending the session without a legislative solution to the state's budget could throw the responsibility of balancing the budget to the governor. The governor could either call a special session or he could exercise his unallotment authority where he could make cuts in state spending-including state aids to cities. 911 surcharge needs your help The League urges city officials to act immediately to: #1. Contact the member or members of the Minnesota House of Representatives who April 12, 2002 Page 2 represent the city to urge him/her or them to support an additional 25-cents for upgrades to 911 dispatch operations and to fully fund facilities that carry 911 communications that are contained in the Senate version of H.F. 2622-Stanek (S.F. 2683-Ranum). #2. Urge local legislators to communicate their support of the 25-cent increase to their colleagues in the Minnesota House who serve on the conference committee on H.F. 2622. (Below see list of both House and Senate members of the conference committee.) Support by members of the House of Representatives for the 25-cent increase in the state 911 surcharge is essential to its inclusion in a conference committee agreement on an anti-terrorism legislative package in which the 911 provisions are contained. A House-Senate conference committee comprised of the following members of the two bodies is now working out what the final shape of the legislation will be.

Although a process is now in place, the differences between the House and Senate positions on the budget deficit and transportation funding are significant and the final resolution of those differences could take a week--or perhaps a month. In addition, the are other issues that must be resolved including the bonding bill, an anti- terrorism bill, a stadium bill and a state employee contract that must be ratified. Just before the Passover/Easter recess, House leadership promoted the idea of creating working groups to resolve the differences between the Rouse and Senate positions on the budget reconciliation bill, the stadium bill and the transportation finance bill. House Speaker Sviggum (R-Kenyon) even indicated that the House would not consider the Senate budget bill, which contained increases in cigarette and tobacco taxes along with a host of other tax provisions. In the end, the House considered the bill, refused to concur and appointed a conference committee to resolve the differences with the House positions on the remaining $439 million state budget deficit. Budget Conference Committee The budget conference committee met for the first time on Thursday and after 2 % hours of discussion, little progress was made. The committee will meet again today to consider differences between the two bills and to take public testimony on the House and Senate proposals. The House conference committee members are Rep. Kevin Goodno (R-Moorhead), Rep. Ron Abrams (R- Minnetonka), Rep. Phil Krinkie (R-Shoreview), Rep. Alice Seagren (R-Bloomington) and Rep. Tom Pugh (DFL-South St. Paul). The Senate members are Sen. Doug Johnson (DFL-Tower), Sen. Larry Pogem[tler (DFL-Minneapolis), Sen. Len Price (DFL-Woodbury), Sen. Linde Berglin (DFL-Minneapotis) and Sen. Dick Day (R-Owatonna). April 5, 2002 Page 1 Both the House and the Senate budget plans would preserve expected funding for local government aid (LGA) and the market value homestead credit in 2002, and neither plan contains any cuts in municipal aids for the 2004-05 biennium. The House proposal draws extensively from the tobacco endowment by transferring more than $300 million in funds to the state's general fund. The plan also makes further cuts in broad state spending categories, including health and human service cuts, environment and natural resources cuts, family and early childhood spending reductions, and additional cuts in state government operations. The Senate proposal refinances with bonds $245 million in transportation projects that were originally funded with cash in the 2000 omnibus transportation bill. In addition, the bill delays certain K-q2 education payments to school districts, which saves the state general fund more than $300 million in immediate costs. The remainder of the state's cash flow account is tapped, and the remainder of the workers' compensation special fund reserve is used to cover the shortfall. Unlike the House, the Senate plan would increase a number of taxes--most notably tobacco and cigarette taxes. The Senate would also restore some of the cuts for the current biennium that were enacted in Phase I and would restore the inflationary increase assumptions for K-12 expenditures for the 2004-05 biennium. Phosphorus As inches of snow piled up on most Minnesotan's lawns, green lawns and clear lakes had a big week at the Capitol. At the conclusion of a three-hour debate, the phosphorus lawn fertilizer restriction bill was passed off the [-louse floor Tuesday with a gigantic margin off 3.16-16. A conference committee met Thursday to work out the differences between the House and Senate and finalized the bill's langauge, preparing it for itsjourney to the Governor's office. This first-in-the-nation piece of legislation establishes a use restriction for fertilizer containing phosphorus of 3% limit in Greater Minnesota and a 0% limit in the 7- county Metropolitan Area.

The law preempts the enforcement of sale restriction ordinances adopted after .August 1, 2002. The law becomes effective January 1, 2004, giving the fertilizer industry 18 months to adjust for the law. Interestingly, several fertilizer manufactures and retailers ~ such as E.C. Grow and Menards - are already stepping up to the plate and providing zero phosphorus fertilizers for the summer of 2002 market demands. Next stop for the bill will be the Governor's desk where it is likely to become law. The bill seems to have support to become law within the executive branch. Dean Barkley, Director of MN Planning and Plymouth resident, has testified on the bill in Senate committees. Proponents of the bill, including the LMC, have been working with the governor's office on the issue as well. Kudos go out to the chief author of the bill, Rep. Peggy Leppik (R-Golden Valley) who presented the bill and managed the floor debate well. Additional representatives speaking in favor of the bill on the floor included: Rep. Dennis Ozment (R-Rosemount), Rep. Ted Winter (DFL-Fulda), Rep. Al Juhnke (DFL- Willmar), Rep. Margaret Anderson Kelliher (DFL- Minneapolis), Rep. Henry Kalis (DFL-WelIs), Rep. Ron Erhardt (R-Edina). Thanks to everyone who made phone calls, entails, and personally contacted their legislators. Good work!! Transportation On Tuesday, the House members of the conference committee for the transportation funding bill (HF3364/SF2812) were appointed and on Wednesday the Senate appointments were made. These members will be charged with attempting to reconcile two vastly different bills. The Senate bill includes a gas tax increase, indexing of the gas tax, and a referendum provision relating to a metropolitan area sales tax to fund both highways and transit. The House bill authorizes the issuance of $750 million in Trunk Highway bonds and contains no funding for transit or local roads. April 5, 2002 Page 2 House conferees are Rep. William Kuisle (R- Rochester), Rep. Mary Liz Holberg (R-Lakeville), Rep. Al Juhnke (DFL-Willrnar), Rep. Tony Kielkucki (R-Lester Prairie) and Rep. Tom Workman (R- Chanhassen). Senate conferees are Sen. Dean Johnson (DFL-Willmar), Sen. Dave Johnson (DFL- Bloomington), Sen. Mark Ourada (R-Buffalo), Sen. Julie Sabo (DFL-Minneapolis) and Sen. Roy Terwilliger (R-Edina). The committee convened briefly yesterday to hear staff overviews of the bills. They will meet again on Monday at 10am in room 112 of the Capitol. Fireworks After hours of intense debate, the House passed a measure that would allow limited sale and personal use of fireworks in periods around July 4th and New Year's. The measure, approved 81 to 52, had been added to a less controversial bill relating to volunteer firefighters (SF 2960) during a hearing in the House Committee on Ways and Means. In summary, the measure would require purchasers to be at least 18 years old and sign a waiver. Places where fireworks would be sold would have to be free-standing and licensed. Novelty fireworks, such as sparklers, snaps and snakes, could be sold year-round at retail stores. After an amendment offered by Rep. Wes Skoglund (DFL-Minneapolis) that would have removed the entire fireworks provision from the bill failed, the House approved an amendment offered by Rep. Andy Dawkins (DFL-St. Paul) that would allow local governments to put restrictions on fireworks, such as limiting the hours of use, but not prohibiting it, during the designated periods. The original Senate fireworks bill was defeated in committee and was later narrowed to a "sparklers- only" bill and subsequently not acted on in committee. At this time, it is unclear if the Senate will concur with the amended House bill. The LMC has a position opposing legalization of fireworks for public safety reasons. Fireworks have been illegal in Minnesota for over 60 years.

Ordinance Amendment, Third reading of an ordinance prohibiting the use of motorized watemraft on Lake Minnetonka; adding new Section 3.022 (last discussed at the 12/12/01 Regular LMCD Board Meeting). Foster stated that a Lake Uinnetonka Wetlands Task Force Meeting was held in January. At this meeting, some new potential ideas were received from the public. The Task Force directed LeFevere to prepare additional ordinance amendments for consideration by the Board based on the discussion at the January Task Force Meeting. The intent of the original proposed ordinance amendment was to protect the tributaries that lead into Lake Minnetonka by discouraging prop dredging in the three tributaries by prohibiting motorized watercraft on them. There have been two additional concepts discussed to consider grandfathering residents that currently have docks and boats on these tributaries or to allow watercraft to use electronic trolling motors. He asked what was the pleasure of the board on this agenda item. Babcock stated that the Board has given the proposed ordinance amendment a great deal of consideration, both on a technical and environmental level. In the eady 1980's, he stated that he lived on Halsteads Bay and was unable to boat effectively on Six Mile Creek during that pedod. The Board has exercised due diligence and had good thoughts and discussions; however, he questioned how many Board members are familiar with the tributaries identified in the proposed ordinance amendment. He recommended that the Board consider taking some time this spring to visit the tributaries, especially Six Mile and Long Lake Creeks, and coordinate a Board tour of these areas before action is taken on the proposed ordinance amendment. H.e stated that a moratorium, such as 120 days, might be appro, pdate that would prohibit new docks or accesses while the Board is conducting the fieldwork. He asked for feedback or comments from the Board on this recommendation. Van Hercke stated that she liked the recommendation from Babcock, noting that she would like representatives invited from the MN DNR, the MCWD and the affected member cities. Babcock stated that a dredging permit application was considered in the Dancing Waters Dock Association in the early 1990's. An inspection of the site was conducted on the ice, with officials from the MN DNR and the City of Minnetdsta invited. He believed that this inspection conducted was beneficial in the decision made by. the District. Seuntjens asked if it would be practical to get to these tributaries from the water during Iow water periods. He suggested that it might be more appropriate to conduct these inspections from the land. Babcock stated that he believed that the logistics of inspections of these tributaries from the water could be worked out. These inspections would probably require smaller boats that would be more appropriate for these areas, such as pontoons or small fishing boats. Foster stated that he had a concern about Iow-water conditions that currently exist on Lake Minnetonka. He believed that this inspection tour should take place shortly after ice-out when lake level conditions are more ideal to navigate in these tributaries. -2062- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting Mamh. 13, 2002 Page. 3 McMi!l.an stated that it:m ght be appropriate to establish depth readings in the tributaries th rough the upcomingsummer, ,She believed that depth readings throughout the entire'season would be beneficial. Seuntjens concUrred with MoM Ilan because he believed that the depths of these tributaries are a critical factor and depths are unknown at this time. Foster stated that he had concem with depth measurements because the bottoms of these tributaries are quitemuckyi making it difficult to locate the exact bottom. Skramstad stated that he supported the recommendation from Babcock. He believed that a hands-on discussion of the tributaries as a group would be very helpful. Weft stated that.the decision being considered by the: Board was cdtical enough that the delay of a few more months would not hurt the process. Knudsen stated.that he concurred with'the recommendation from Babcbck and that he.would like the opportunity to review pending discretionary Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAVV) being prepared prior to making a decision on the proposed ordinance amendment. McMillan Stated that she would like:to see the Wetlands Task'~orce.develop a policy behind the proposed ordinanoe..amendment that supports.the reasoning for it: She'believed that'a lot of the Board diSCussions have focused on managementof shorelines thatare either on,the lake or tributaries that lead into the lake. ,The only tributary thatis p.roposed in the ordinance amendment.thaHs not itnpeded by a man-made barrier is 'SixMi e Creek~:.,She believed ,that,the ~intent of~,the Board.was nottoincrease dpadan rights to 'Lake Mi~,~etonka~from these tributaries and.ether.marginal shorelinearound the lake: SheeXpressed concem abo.utadoptjng an ordinance that altows~for electronic.trolling motors, and having:these:residents requesting suppo~..,~f the Distdctfor,.dredging,in the future,because this type ~)f use is notpractical. She conCluded that she believed the adoption of a policy would be more appropriate than the adoption of an ordinance. Foster stated ~that the jurisdiction ofthe Distd,ct:isl on the. water and that he would prefer to Stay Off the land that is:cleary within the, jurisdiction of, the member~.~ities He suPported substantial restrictions to the tributaries because of environmental issues rather than land issues. Babcock stated that he;believed McMillan was pointing out that she believed the environmental and land issues, am.tied toge:ther. He,concurred with. McMillan to a certain extent. Wert stated that he concurred with Foster that the Distdct should stay off the land and not direct the member cities,how to,manage~-t~eJr shorelines~, He believed, that the proposa thatr~Board membersvisit thetdbutaries in the proposed ordinance amendment would be beneficial in making a decision, Knudsen stated that he belie~/ed that there is justification to stay off the land and allow, the member cities to deal with these issues. The developers for the Upland Farms project have already been before the Minnetrista City Council to apply for the necessary permits for the marina, dredging, and excavation. The Uinnetrista City Council informed the developers for the Upland Farms project that they should secure the necessa~ permits from.the other governmental jurisdictions prior, to ,them acting on this request. The City of Minnetdsta does not believe that it makes sense to establish a madna on Six Mile Creek and that the property does not have access to Lake Minnetonka. -2063- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting March 13, 2002 Page'4 McMillan stated that the District sometimes has a better understanding hOw land management uses can impact water quality, on'Lake Minnetonka. She believed that this should be outlined in a policy and the member cities could then make a decision on whether or not they want to comply with this policy. ~he cited the City of Orono shoreland management plan as an example of an effeCtive document that the District could emulate. FOster stated that he believed the consensus of the Board was to delay action on this agenda item and organize a trip for the Board to visit these tributaries on the water. He noted that'he would direct staff to coordinate this unless there were objections from the Board. Babcock stated that he concurred with the direction from Foster; however,-he would like to establish a moratorium to ensure that changes are not made in the tributaries until the Board has had a chance to review these areasi He believed thata moratorium of between 90 and 120 days Prohibiting new docksand new boating activities in these areas should be in place prior to ice out. Foster stated that he did not believe a moratorium was necessary to review the tributaries in the proposed ordinance amendment, LeFevere stated that since the last Board meeting this agenda was discussed, federal district court case law in Michigamhas been discovered that :recognized some rights to continue :to make hiStOrical use of docks with this kind of regulation, This case Was pretty extreme because it even prohibited the Use of trolling "motors, He questioned Whether it Would apply to the proposed oi'dinance amendment; howeverl. :there is some basis in the~:,law~for recognizing a right or an entitlement to continue touse mote~OatS: He Stated that if he were a~prope~,y owner, heWould ~nstall a dock ~on a :tributary,this spring~ tO Preserve the figh't to use a lake even.~though it has not been fused in the past. ~He believed: that this WoUld give these residents a somewhat better~chance in,the ca.se of a lawsuit,' He concluded that it WOuld not be very diffiCUl! to prohibit the construction or erectiOn of any new docks within the tribUtarieS described in the ordinanbe amendment for a set period of time: MOTION: Wert moved, Babcock seconded to establish a moratorium ordinanc~ prOhibiting:the construction or erection of any new docks in SixMile Creek, Painter's Creek; ah'~l Long Lake Creek until the 6/12/02 Regular Board Meeting." Nybeck asked for, clarification on whether the proposed motion is to direct the attomey to Prepare the moratorium ordinance amendment for review at the next Board meeting or if:LeFevere ShOUld prepare it for review at this Board meeting. Wert stated {ha{he would like LeFevere to prepare the ordinance amendment, for revieW'by the BOard at this meeting. ~. Babcock stated that his goal of the.moratorium is to set expectations for the Public. McMillan asked how the affected residents would be notified by the proposed morat0dum. Babcock stated that: the ordinance amendment would need to be publiShed if the BOard adopted it. -2064- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District RegUlar Board Meeting March 13, 2002 Page5 Nybeck. stated that the-office~has a database established for the residents that'abutthethreetribUtades. If the Board adopted the moratorium, a copy of it could be forwarded to.these residents to notify them of it. Foster asked the Board if. they would like to receive comments or feedback'from the'public.;. The consensus of the Board was to receive limited comments and feedback from the public on the proposed moratorium, not the proposed ordinance amendment that would Prohibit motorized Watercraft. Mr. Lane Moore, at an unidentified address, stated that he had a purchase agreement on a property on Oak Lane {[hat abuts Six Mile Creek. He had purchased the property with the assumption that he had access rights to Lake Minnetonka and intended to place a dock out on Six Mile Creek in 2002. He expressed concern about the timing of the discussions of the.prop0sed moratorium being considered by the District because it would not allow for boat storage at the reSidence that he haS.PUrChased until at least June 12th. He questioned whether the moratorium is fair ' Babcock stated that if a purchase agreement ensures access to Lake Minnetonka, there is a need to cladfy definitions with'the realtor that created the purchase agreement, H~ believed"that,the~e lake access dghts are subject to reasonable regulations similar to lakeshore owners on Lake Minnetonka. Al[hough a moratorium might inconvenience some property owners, it is not permanent. He believed after due diligence bythe Board, .action taken by the Board could include nothing or an ordinance With restrictions or an outright prohibition. Mr. Mike Off,. 680 Brown Road S., stated~.that he already owns a property that abUts Long Lake Creek that has a dock. aMd,a ~boat.: Theuse of the dock and the a~ss to I.:ake Minnetonka predated the purchase of the home sQme =years. agg,,; He expressed'con.rem aboutithe potential loss or, access that he and his family have enjoyed for some time. He commented on zoning documentation from the City of Orono that deemed the area of Long Lake Creek that his property abuts as part of Lake Tanager. McM?lan stated,that wh~ the Ci~'..0~ Qrono' Worked.~ith the MN DNR on s'h°reland regu ations in the early 1990 s, the p~rt of Long [.al~' cre~k s0uth~of BrOwn R0'ad waS.determined to be,lPart of upper basin of Lake Tanager.

Lake Minnetonka and under the jUdSd, ictiOn Of the D stdct McMillan stated that the City of Orono believes that the part of I~°ng L~ke Creek south of Brown Road 'is part of Lake Minnetonka... Mr. Mike cagey, legal counsel forthe Halsteads'Area' Wetlands PreServation G'r°up, stated t~at he supported the motion to establish a moratorium. He believed that this is a routine matter and a moratorium would preserve status quo to allow the Boa~ to make an informed decision. Mr. Will Abbott, 1000 Brown ROad S:, asked whb wOUld'Com'i~en~a[e:pr°perty °wnem if property dghts were eventually lost if an orr nance amendment prohibiting, motorized watercraft is adopted. LeFeverb stated that if a lawsbii was fil~ Chalienging the decision of the ~i~trict, the LUCITWould cover the District. if t~e Court ruled that:il~e Ordihance aa0~{ed cOfistitutedan unconStitUti(~na taking, the BOard cou d either pay the judgement or amend the ordinance. -2065- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting March 13, 2002 Page6 Babcockstated that he would prefer the comments from'the public focus on the proposed: motion that would establish a moratorium on new docks,.

Five candidates were given first interviews, with three of them getting a second interview. He and Harper agreed that all three candidates were qualified; however, the position was offered to Gona Olson.

She suggested that it would be beneficial to educate the public on District related issues, possibly through a Newsletter. She used the LMA Newsletter as a good example of a communication tool. She asked what were the thoughts of the Board. Nybeck stated that the quarterly Executive Director Newsletter is sent out to the 14 member cities and not to the residents of these communities, although it is on the District website. It possibly could be modified and sent out to the residents of these 14 communities. He suggested that it might make more sense to piggyback on the Newsletters prepared by the LMA and the 14 member cities to get information out to the residents on Distdct related issues. -2069- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting Ma[Ch 13, 2002 ,Page 10 A concern raised by some Board: membem were potential costs of the District sending out its Own Newsletter, especially mailing costs.

Focus Topic: Supt. Pam Myers Requests Unpaid Leave of Absence 3. Upcoming Events 4. Tell Us What You Think NEWS BRIEFS **School District Internet Access to be Disrupted Later Today** As a cost-saving measure, some electrical system updates will be done later today that will require a temporary power shutdown, affecting Internet access to all school district buildings. This electrical system update will allow the district and Xcel Energy - 2071 - 04/05/2002 Page 2 of 5 to more accurately monitor and record the district's "demand usage" for electrical power. In the past, the amount of demand has been estimated each month, based on overall electricity usage. However, as facilities coordinator Jerry Brenden researched electrical costs, he found that Xcel's estimates have been high. By installing this equipment, the district will be able to more accurately report electrical usage and save money on monthly billings, keeping dollars closer to home for educating students. **Budget Task Force Eyes Further Cuts in Administrative Costs** A Westonka School District budget task force of citizens and staff is continuing its work to analyze district administrative costs, with the goal of finding additional areas in which to cut expenses for 2002-2003 and beyond. The group has agreed to focus on "costs for anything except for the teacher in the classroom." Task force members have reviewed many documents, including: administrative organization chart; current district staffing; a 25-year staff ratio history; class size comparisons in the metro area; an administrative staffing memo; and budget summaries of both the General (operating) Fund and the transportation fund. At the most recent meeting, school district business administrator Chuck Herdegen reviewed budget and expenditures in all budget code categories for 2001-2002. The group also reviewed facility use fees charged to non-school organizations using school facilities. Group members generally believed facility use fees seemed Iow. Handouts at the last meeting included: budget reduction options for 2002-2003; General Fund and Transportation Fund budget and expenditure reports for 2001-2002; sample of comparative data found on the Web site for the Minnesota Dept. of Children, Families and Learning; metro area comparisons from SchoolHouse Magazine; and a list of staff suggestions for cutting expenditures from 1998-1999. The next meeting will be held Tuesday, April 16. **Transportation Service Changes to Start April 15'* On April 15, several key school bus transportation service changes will go into effect. These changes will affect all students who use transportation provided by the Westonka Public Schools. The service changes mean that more students will be walking on local sidewalks and streets, either to the closest bus stop or to their neighborhood school. City and school district officials are working closely to enhance safety in several areas, including adding striped - 2072- 04/05/2002 Page 3 of 5 crosswalks and safety patrol teams adjacent to primary school buildings. Safety patrol teams will start on April 15; city officials indicate that crosswalks will be striped as soon as weather (consistent 50 degree temps) and street cleaning allow. A brochure with detailed bus stop and route information was mailed to all student homes this week. Please watch your mail carefully, as it should arrive in mailboxes on or around April 5. The text for both this week's letter, as well as the letter sent in mid-March explaining the changes, can also be found on the District Web site, www.westonka.k12.mn.us (see link at bottom of home page). For student safety reasons, bus stops and routes will not be posted online. In addition to transportation staff, all school secretaries will have copies of the brochure, so they can help parents and students with questions. **National Principals' Hotline, April 7, 8 & 9** Got a burning question about child-rearing or school? The National Association of Elementary School Principals will sponsor the "Principals On Call for Kids" hotline during their annual convention to give parents. the help they need, whether it's a second opinion, insights on child development, or ideas for better study habits. Calls are anonymous, and offered in both English and Spanish. Call 1-800-944-1601 during the following times (all are CST): Sunday, April 7, 1-7 p.m.; Monday, April 8, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Tuesday, April 9, 7 a.m. 'to 1 p.m. Or log on to www.naesp.org to send an e-mail message. FOCUS TOPIC **Supt. Pam Myers Requests Unpaid Extended Leave of Absence** Supt. Pam Myers has announced that she will ask the School Board to approve a three- to five-year unpaid extended leave of absence. The Board will consider this request at its April 15 meeting, at which time it will also consider appointing current Mound Westonka High School principal Gene Zulk to the superintendent position. Myers has been with the school district since 1982, serving as assistant principal at Grandview Middle School, asst. superintendent for curriculum and instruction and, for the past 7 years, superintendent of schools. Myers is not retiring, but has expressed her desire to consider other options. She looks forward to exploring "what else is out there, and - 2073- 04/05/2002 Page 4 of 5 what opportunities might be equally as intriguing and rewarding as educational administration."

Bonds are for Buildings (keeping buildings in good repair and providing certain equipment, such as computers) A maintenance and technology bond referendum passed in March 2001.

Focus Topic: District Negotiates Single-Digit Insurance Increases 3. Upcoming Events 4. Tell Us What You Think NEWS BRIEFS **Long Range Projection for Student Enrollment** School Board members Bob Bittle and Chuck Walerius, and Supt. Pam Myers attended a workshop on declining enrollment hosted by Lt. Gov. Mae Schunk in Henderson last week. Tom Gillaspy, state demographer, presented data showing continued statewide decline in Minnesota residents of school age. Here's an excerpt from the notes taken by a staff member from the Dept. of Children, Families and Learning: - 20 76 - 04/12/2002 Page 2 of 5 "Minnesota is growing in population nearly as fast as the national average. [But] the biggest percentage of growth is not school-age children, but middle-aged people (45-64 years old). It is fair to say that we are in the pre-retirement decade. That means that soon large numbers of teachers will retire." "The current decline of students parallels the decrease of the 1970s, but that decline was very sharp and many schools closed; now the rate of decline is more gradual, but it is also more long-term. Right now student enrollments are at their peak statewide. In the Metro, the largest percentage of students is in the 10th grade; K-6 populations are all smaller." There are conflicting opinions about the future impact of the housing starts in our area. Some believe the new homes will bring many more children into the public schools; others say not to expect a large enrollment swing, given demographic trends. **Transportation Changes to Start Monday** New bus routes and stops will be implemented on Monday, April 15. Information about the new routes has been mailed to every student home. The changes taking effect on Monday are related to budget reductions. This week, however, we learned from Hennepin County that road construction will require further adjustments to certain bus routes (Buses 101, 114 and 117) starting April 22. Those updates will be distributed next week to children riding the affected buses. We also understand that state construction crews will be working on Highway 7 later this spring, and city crews will be working on Game Farm Road during the summer. FOCUS TOPIC **District Negotiates Single-Digit Insurance Increases** Good news came recently to the District's Insurance Committee, composed of employees, retired employees, and local citizens. In February, they had been told to expect a 23% increase in health insurance rates for 2002-2003. Reluctant to accept that increase, they used the services of an insurance broker, who brought several bids, the lowest of which had an 8% increase (bid by Medica). - 2077 - 04/12/2002 Page 3 of 5 The bid from the current provider of dental insurance, Health Partners, contained a 5.8% increase. Both carriers will be recommended for Board action at the regular board meeting on Monday, April 15.

The Design Center for American Urban Landscape cordially invites you to attend an evening conference, Cooperating Across Boundaries, focused on discussion of local case studies, perspectives, and best practices for applying livable community prindples in our region. Please encourage your city's mayor and council members to join others from across the Twin Cities, to learn about and discuss local perspectives on building livable communities. The conference will feature: · An afternoon workshop for community staff members · A plenary session examining local livable community initiatives within the metropolitan context · Breakout sessions for detailed investigation of topical livable community issues The evening will open with an address by Elizabeth Kautz, Mayor of Burnsville, Chair of the Metropolitan Livable Communities Advisory Committee and Executive Vice President of the Hartford Group, a mixed-use development company. She will share her passion for livable communities through her experiences with Burnsville's Heart of the City and other development projects, and describe livability trends and issues emerging in the Twin Cities region. We hope that you and your colleagues can attend the conference, offer your unique perspectives, and take home some new strategies for enhancing your community's livability. Cooperating Across Boundaries will be held Tuesday, April 30th, from 3:30 - 9:30pm (community staff workshop, 3:30-5:30; conference sessions, 5:30-9:30) at the Northland Inn, 7025 Northland Drive, in Brooklyn Park.

Burma 3011 Island View Drive Mound, MN 55364 (952)4723989 Apfil12,2002 Kandis- Following is a summary of actions and discussions of the LMCD Board that have a bearing on Mound. Save the Lake Lakescaping presentation A presentation by Marleane Callaghan of Fortin Consulting, Inc. was made to the Mound Planning Commission at the April 1 meeting of the PC. The presentation was well prepared and presented. It prompted numerous questions from the Commissioners and clarified some misgivings regarding the use of natural vegetation as an embellishment of lakeshore. We urge the CC to consider arranging to view and hear this presentation as well. If you are interested, please contact me with possible dates and I will make arrangements to have a representative available. Six Mile, _Painters and Long Lake Creeks A moratorium on construction of new docks in these tributaries was passed at the second meeting in March. The Board has scheduled a field trip to Six Mile Creek on May 15 to view the area. Tentatively, at the second meeting in May the Creek issues will be discussed and acted upon. Water Patrol subsidy Gabriel Jabbour made a presentation at the April 10 meeting, outlining the importance of the additional water patrol presence. It appears that a majority of the cities represented on the board have taken the same stance as Mound. The LMCD, by my understanding, has funds in place to continue the program for the 2002 season. Representatives of the LMCD will work with Mr. Jabbour to petition the County to absorb the cost of one of the two additional persons, and devise a plan (or several options) to fund the other person. A caveat to this plan, however, is that if the personnel is funded by the LMCD and its members, the lake gets full use of the time of those persons. If the county funds those people, their time will be divided between all of the areas in the county. -2092- Emergency Response boats Mound Fire Department and Long Lake have emergency response boats. The concern is that, especially with the larger boats, the response time negates the value of the boats responding to emergencies. Mr. Jabbour suggested that, perhaps, the LMCD could work with the marina owners on the lake to provide dockage for an emergency response boat at the marina. This would necessitate a variance from the LMCD for an additional slip at the selected marinas, so as to not cost them the rental revenue from existing permitted docks. Concern was raised regarding response to emergencies on other lakes within the two cities. It was suggested that each city has smaller boats now that respond to these emergencies, and could continue to use that system for Langdon and Dutch. LMCD newsletter Options are being discussed regarding dissemination of information. To date these options have included press releases to the lake-serving papers, material prepared and distributed to the local cable carriers or a printed newsletter. If a printed newsletter is the chosen vehicle, the LMCD would like to know if the cities would be willing to let the LMCD piggyback their newsletter inserted into the city's newsletter if the LMCD picked up any additional collating or mailing cost. -2093- General Fund $822,445 CDBG 1,114 Area Fire Protection Services 404,241 Grant Revolving 5,525 Cemetery 8,314 Dock 250,374 PW Facility Commerce Place TIF 68,731 (55,669) V/ Capital Improvement 1,680,415 MSA 20,520 Sealcoat 6,417 CDB Downtown TIF 1-2 812 (1,636'853)V/' Water 1,352,050 Sewer 1,028,752 Liquor Store 1,491,149 Recycling 82,095 Storm Water 838,804 Fire Relief (27,262) HRA 0 Note: The above schedule shows the combined cash and investment balances by fund for the months indicated as recorded in the General Ledger.

These items provide an overview of the many ways in which CASH has positively impacted the suburban Hennepin County community in the past year -- by providing innovative services, badly needed education, and entering into unique and fruitful collaborations. While we stay mindful of our many successes, we also remain aware of the magnitude of the crisis lying before us. The tragic events of September 1 lth have reminded us all of the importance of community. My hope is that these events will also inspire us to confront the poverty that exists in our own backyards. Since 1985, CASH has been a part of the war against poverty in suburban Hennepin County. In the past year, we have reexamined our strategies to improve the lives of low- income people, refined our mission and vision statements, refocused our efforts, and taken steps to become a more potent organization. Much work remains. Funding cuts have strained our resources like never before. While demand for our services and the services of other providers in our communities are up markedly from past years, government support has declined. Because government support will never be able to meet demand for our services by itself, we have developed a plan to actively cultivate resources from individuals, companies, and other non-government entities. During 2002 and beyond, we will rely to a greater degree on private support to assist our colleagues and us in the war on poverty. We encourage you to become a soldier in this war. We are eager to parmer with any and all individuals and organizations to confront issues of poverty head-on. We must attack our common enemy together if we are to be successful..The time to act is now. The decision to act is yours. Please call us at 952-933-9639 to find out how you can help. Sincerely, Executive Director -2100- R A Publication of Community Action for Suburban Hennep~n Welcome Home! Michelle Gibbs can't help but smile when she thinks of owning her own home. Changing Lives, Improving Communities Michelle Gibbs had long dreamed of owning her own home. When she first attended a Community Action for Suburban Hennepin (CASH) home buyer workshop two years ago, however, her chances of achieving that dream appeared slim. Michelle had gone through a divorce and, like many people in her situation, credit and financial problems hindered her ability to buy a home. Despite these obstacles, CASH staff worked with Michelle to help her become a successful homeowner. CASH's Full-Cycle Homeownership Services Program counselors first helped Michelle by explaining the importance of her credit report and by recommending practical, step-by-step approaches to improving her report. Then CASH helped Michelle establish new credit to begin improving her credit worthiness in the eyes of lenders. Finally, a Home Buyer Counselor helped Michelle with budgeting. Tim Armstrong, CASH Home Buyer Counselor, comments, "Michelle was very commit- ted and was willing to work hard to become a homeowner." An excited Michelle returns the compliment stating, "Tim made the home buying process understandable." Michelle's excitement is matched only by the enthusiasm her seven- year-old son Joe feels. Michelle smiles as she describes Joe's commitment to the home buying process. "He only wanted one Christmas present this year so that we could save more money for the house," recalls Michelle. Michelle says that learning to sacrifice to make her home buying dream a reality has been made easier by Continued on Page 3 -2101 - XECUTIVE CORNER DI RE CTO R' S "CASH has been placed here in your communi~.., to help you find your way out of the ravages of pover~y' We all find ourselves with a lot to read and assimilate in the course of our daily routines and so, I will make these remarks as brief and fo- cused as I can.

"I want'my son to have a house he's going to grow up in," says Michelle as she speaks of the sense of community and feeling of pride that only owning a home can pro- vide, Michelle continues, "we are looking for a home that will be near Joe's school and also close to my sister." Joe is excited because he will be close to his friends and he can get a dog-- pets are not allowed at the apartment complex where they currently live. Michelle is moving full-speed ahead. She is searching for a realtor and has been taking note of"For Sale" signs in neighborhoods where she'd like to buy her home. This is an exciting time, Michelle will soon be a homeowner-- her dream has come true. If yoU would like to realize your homeownership dream, we may be able to help. Each year our Homeownership department helps many people like Michelle become and remain successful homeowners. Call 952-933-9639for assistance. A SALUTE TO OUR VOLUNTEERS CASH is grateful for the strong support we consistently receive from our volunteers. We are especially thankful for the contributions made by the following people: Aaron Miller- Alma Swanson · Annette Ronan · Brian Mowery · Carin Carlburg · Clara Doherty. Delores Heese · Emily Heese · Grace Lebra · Helen Bromberg · Helen Kwakenat · Howard George. Jane Laird. Jean Voller · Joan Decosse · Joey Miller. John Ronan · Juanita Linder · Mariya Chernina · Mikhail Chernin · Trish Evarts -2103- Spotlight on Homeownership CASH's Full-Cycle Homeownership Services Program offers low- and moderate-income households many wonderful tools to help them become and remain successful homeowners. Homeownership Services provides: · Foreclosure Prevention Assistance · Home Maintenance, Repair and Rehab Workshops · Budgeting · Reverse-Mortgage Counseling · Pre-Purchase Workshops and Assistance All of these programs are available to suburban Hennepin County residents who meet eligibility guidelines. Depending on the program, an appointment may be needed. Call 952-933-9639 or visit our web site, www.cashenn, org, for more information. An example of one of the services provided by Homeownership is the "Home Stretch: Home Buyer Work- shop." This workshop provides a fantastic opportunity to learn about home buying. Mortgage originators and real estate professionals rarely take the time to educate buyers about affordable housing programs and which agencies provide help-- that's where we step in. Many people mistakenly believe that buying a home requires thousands of dollars and perfect credit. Often times, this simply isn't true. Our Homeownership Counselors are knowledgeable about the many housing programs designed for low- and moderate-income families that provide significant assistance to eligible bor- rowers. In fact, some programs offer home buyers anywhere from $3,000 to $14,000! After taking our Workshops, prospective home buyers are encouraged to come in for a one-on-one counsel- ing appointment. This meeting provides an opportunity for one of our counselors to take an in-depth look at the home buyers credit report and earning situation to help determine program eligibility. Even if we deter- mine that it's not possible to purchase a home at that time, we can help develop a plan to overcome obstacles to homeownership. There are many things to consider, but generally if your annual household income is less than *$59,760 and you have had no 30 day late notices on your credit report in the last year, you may be eligible for an afford- able housing program. *Please keep in mind that v ' ' ' e ery person s s~tuatmn is different and that by no means does simply meeting these guidelines guaran- tee assistance. However, you can contact us for a fi'ee, confidential appointment to discuss the specifics of your situation. -2104- Page 5 HOMEWORK HELPER PROGRAM ASSISTS DIVERSE COMMUNITY Hopkins' Ramsgate Apartment community is home to about 1,000 individuals, many of whom come from diverse backgrounds. This diversity creates many opportunities and challenges. One such challenge was helping a group of multicultural children from kindergarten through 6t~ grade do well in school. This chal- lenge was answered by a unique after school homework assistance program begun in 1997. Every Tuesday and Thursday at 4:30 p.m., students begin filling the Ramsgate Homework Helper room where they are greeted by a retired teacher, Mr. Noble, and two college students--Karen and Reesa-- who also work with the children. Students then receive a nutritious snack followed by about an hour of study- ing, working on English language skills, enhancing computer ability, or developing social skills. One of the great features of the program is that the instructors adapt their approach to meet each student's individ- ual needs. Another wonderful component of the program is that it fills a badly needed gap. About 95% of Ramsgate's 126 children speak English as a second language. Not surprisingly then, communication problems can be an issue. In addition to providing children with English lessons, the Homework Helper program serves as a bridge between non-English speaking parents and their child's school. When students enter the Homework Helper program, their parents and teachers are consulted to discuss how to best meet the student's needs. This contact creates a badly needed link between stakeholders, which places the student in a position to succeed and empowers parents to become involved with their child's academic life. To learn more about how you can become part of the Homework Helper program, call Marsha Dettloff at (952) 933-0101. Ramsgate Apartments -2105- PAINTING FOR A PURPOSE The Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches (GMCC) is gearing up for their 19th annual Paint-A-Thon and needs help locating homeowners who may be eligible to have their house painted free of charge. To qualify, homeowners need to meet eligibility guidelines. A household of one, for instance, can earn no more than $1,432 per month. A household of two can earn no more than $1,935 per month. This project uses volunteers to paint the exterior of homes for seniors or disabled persons who cannot afford a commercial painter, or who are otherwise unable to do the work themselves. The volunteers will scrape, pre- pare, and paint the selected homes. Hirshfield's provides the high quality paint. Interested homeowners should call (612) 721-8687, ext. 303 to obtain an application form, or visit CASH's website, www.cashenn.org, for a direct link to the form. Alternatively, you may give the application directly to the homeowner. Completed applications need to be received in the GMCC office no later than May 10th to qualify for this year's Paint-A-Thon. If you are interested in forming a volunteer team to paint homes the weekend of August 3rd and 4th, 2002, please contact GMCC at the number listed above or simply select the Paint-A-Thon link on the CASH home page to obtain a team registration' form.

Guests were treated to free lunch, open swimming, music, dancers and interactive community resource tables. Each resource table focused on a particular asset and pro- vided an opportunity for children and families to learn about how to improve their well-being. CASH's table featured a display highlighting the services we offer the community and an area for children to write their own story. Additionally, we offered handouts to parents describing ways in which they could encourage their children to become active readers. Judging by parent and child reaction, the event was a huge success! Pictured above: one of the many great stories written by children at the CASH table.

Our Board and staff have worked together to refine and set our mission statement, vision statement, and 3-5 year goals statements. This process has generated some excitement and some serious refocusing of ac- tivities and purpose. Yet, even as that excitement was growing within the agency, our community and society in general were experiencing a recession, accompanied by a market de- flation, which caused many lay-offs and job eliminations. Together these events resulted in reductions and even elimination of some grant programs which were Rich Zierd! focused on helping people get through bad times, while causing us to experience 25% to 35% increases in the number of people looking for assistance in support- ing their basic stability. In fact, all of our collaborating and partnering agencies haVe reported this same experience, and it is largely seen as the beginning of a trend, not the end. As a result, Commu- nity Action for Suburban Hennepin is forced to begin planning a fundraising campaign for the first time. We will be sorely challenged to attract corporate, foundation and private sources of philan- thropy in some fairly major ways during this upcoming year. Yet this must be done if we, and our many partnering and collaborating organizations, are to even come close to providing the level of "safety-net" and self-sufficiency skills building support we have in previous years. Increasing numbers of working people in suburban Hennepin County find that their incomes barely cover food, shelter and clothing costs for themselves and their families. This was underscored re- cently by a Wilder Research Center study titled, "Homeless Adults and Children in Minnesota." This study indicated that 41% of all homeless persons are employed. Moreover, women and children comprise not only the majority of all homeless persons currently, but also make up the fastest grow- ing segment of the increasing homeless population which grew by more than 325% during the eco- nomic boom times of the 1990s. Spend a moment looking at your budget and honestly consider this question: If you lost your house- hold income tomorrow and found yourself with only an unemployment check or paycheck from a job earning less than $10 per hour, how long would it be until you were making major changes in your life situation? According to the people at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), for the average person in suburban Hennepin County, the answer to this question is less than three months without significant outside intervention. Now imagine that you know of nobody in this world who can or will be financially able to assist you during this experience, and you have the most accurate picture that I can portray of the most common poverty scenario today in suburban Hennepin County. Here is your opportunity to throw away outdated stereotypes of who is suffering the impacts of pov- erty, develop a sense of moral outrage, turn off the television, and take responsibility upon yourself to help build a stronger, more nurturing, and more just community. We need your help building a vibrant, integrated and compassionate American community that you can take a great deal of pride in calling home. Pick up the telephone and call Community Action for Suburban Hennepin at 952-933-9639, and let's talk about how you can help make this community a more caring and harmonious place in which to live and raise a family. -2110- ~001 Annual Report 2001 has been a year for gaining maturity and refining our focus as an organization. We have completed a review of our strategic plan and revised it as follows: CASH Vision Statement: CASH will be the preeminent poverty fighting agency in suburban Hennepin County. CASH Mission Statement: Our mission is to improve the quality of life in suburban Henne- pin County by creating and supporting links between individuals and communities through service, education and collaboration. CASH Goals: · To improve upon CASH's reputation and credibility by: improving our professional stan- dards, increasing our participation in the events of our parmers and collaborators, increas- ing our level of participation and commitment to performance management and reporting through Results Oriented Management and Accountability (ROMA) participation. · To have a more active and responsive Board of Directors that provides the strategic direc- tion that the agency needs. · To enhance our performance ability so that our stakeholders are confident about CASH's status as the preeminent organization fighting poverty. · To increase the agency's ability to obtain sufficient resources to meet current and future needs. · To enhance the agency's ability to stay on top of current and future needs of the low- income populations of suburban Hennepin County. · To define our Information Technology (IT) needs to insure that operating systems are com- patible with, and supportive of, our vision and mission and to assure flexibility. · To identify future facility needs to make the agency more accessible and connected to the communities we serve. · To enhance the agency's ability to identify the needs of the low-income communities we serve in order to develop focused programs with a strong results orientation. Upon this solid foundation, we look back upon the agency's fa'st sixteen years of accom- plishments with new understanding, and we look ahead to 2002 with a sense of excitement and challenge. With that, I close by saying "thank you" to the CASH staff for their dedication and commit- ment. Thank you to the world of service providers and partners who have so diligently worked with us this past year. And thank you to all of those who have given so freely of their time and money to help us reach into so many suburban Hennepin County homes and improve the live of the families (our neighbors) living there. -Marty Kirsch, Board Chair -2111 - ao01 Annual Report The mission of Community Action for Suburban Hennepin (CASH) is to improve the quality of life in suburban Hennepin County by creating and supporting links between individuals and communities through service, education & collaboration. -2112- ~ool Annual Report Povert y Has a Face Hassan ;harnp~in Corcoran Maple Mi nn etrista Spring Pan~ Medina Plymouth Plain Eden Prairie Bro~lyn C enter Mn neapolis Bloomington Poverty has a face.

Each year we help thousands of Hennepin County residents improve their lives. Whether it's providing energy assistance for a struggling family, helping a senior navigate the complexities of a reverse mortgage, pro- viding emergency services to a young couple, or reaching out to our neighbors in dozens of other ways, we are there. 9001 Annua/Report CASH's Center for Planning & Development offers organizing, technical assistance, out- reach, demonstration project, and community development services that allow organizations to be more effective. Many nonprofit organizations and other service entities took advantage of Planning & Development's services this year. For example: · A local food shelf needed marketing assistance to promote an important event. They called CASH and within a week we had developed a variety of creative tools that were used to increase contributions. · An organization needed assistance creating legally sound bylaws and developing a strate- gic plan. They called CASH and we walked them through the process and helped them establish the organizational and tactical foundation they needed to be successful. · A newly formed non-profit needed help completing an important grant. They called CASH for assistance and we helped them write a grant that secured the funding they required. · Planning & Development members actively participate in a variety of community collaboratives, offering the expertise and assistance that helps these groups flourish. In so many ways, Planning & Development provides the tools organizations need to maxi- mize their effectiveness. We work under the simple philosophy that people benefit when the nonprofit community woi'ks together. As we look ahead to 2002, we anticipate a continued willingness from many organizations to work in concert to improve lives. As always, CASH's Center for Planning & Development will be ready to provide organizations the sup- port they need to make Hennepin County a better place to live. For help with virtually any need your organization has, call CASH's Center for Planning & Development at (952) 933-9639.

Michelle Gibbs had long dreamed of owning her own home. When she first attended a Community Action for Suburban Hermepin (CASH) home buyer workshop two years ago, however, her chances of achieving that dream appeared slim. Michelle had gone through a divorce and, like many people in her situation, credit and financial problems hindered her ability to buy a home. Despite these obstacles, CASH staff worked with Michelle to help her become a successful homeowner. CASH's Full-Cycle Homeownership Services Program counselors first helped Michelle by explaining the importance of her credit report and by recommending practical, step-by-step approaches to improving her report. Then CASH helped Michelle establish new credit to begin improving her credit worthiness in the eyes 'of lenders. Finally, a Home Buyer Counselor helped Michelle with budgeting. Tim Armstrong, CASH Home Buyer Counselor, comments, "Michelle was very committed and was willing to work hard to become a homeowner." An excited Michelle returns the compliment stating, "Tim made the home buying process understandable." Michelle's excitement is matched only by the enthusiasm her seven-year-old son Joe feels. Michelle smiles as she describes Joe's commitment to the home buying process. "He only wanted one Christmas present this year so that we could save more money for the house," recalls Michelle. Michelle says that learning to sacrifice to make her home buying dream a reality has been made easier by realizing what a house will truly provide. "I want my son to have a house he's going to grow up in," says Michelle as she speaks of the sense of commu- nity and feeling of pride that only.owning a home can provide. Michelle continues, "we are looking for a home that will be near Joe's school and also close to my sister." Joe is excited because he will be close to his friends and he can get a dog-- pets are not allowed at the apartment complex where they currently live. Michelle is moving full-speed ahead. She is searching for a realtor and has been taking note of "For Sale" signs in neighborhoods where she'd like to buy her home. This is an exciting time, Michelle will soon be a homeowner-- her dream has come tree. -2118- gO01 Annual Report CASH Community Services provides short-term emergency assistance to suburban Henne- .pin County residents who have no other resources available to prevent deeper, more lasting crisis. In 2001, Community Services provided comprehensive services to over 1,100 house- holds. These services included rental assistance, child care assistance, emergency assistance in the form of grocery and transportation help, and phone referrals to other agencies. Additionally, our Peer Advocacy Program promotes stabilization for families currently on, or transitioning from, the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) by providing life skills assistance, crisis resolution, and other essential services. CASH's Transitional Housing Department did a wonderful job in 2001 with the Rapid Exit and Family Connections Programs. The Rapid Exit Program helps families move into stable housing by providing assistance locating rental housing and obtaining resources such as fur- niture and deposits. Family Connections helps homeless parents attain stable housing so they can be reunited with their children. Together, these two programs served over 120 peo- ple in 2001. CASH's Emergency Assistance program through the West Hennepin Employment Parmer- ship (WHEP) collaborative provides an an'ay of emergency services to south Hennepin sub- urbs including rental, transportation and utility assistance. Additionally, CASH ran the WHEP Car Donation Program during 2001, which provided cars to 12 families: Success Through WHEP Karl is a single mother with a 13-year-old daughter. In July of 2001, she experienced some employment problems and feared that she may lose her home, which would have left her family with nowhere to go except the street. Fortunately, the West Hennepin Employment Partnership (WHEP), a CASH parmer, was able to step in. WHEP provided badly needed rental assistance funds so that the family could stay in their modest apartment. Then, they provided financial counseling to Karl so she could learn valuable budgeting skills. Finally, WHEP helped Karl identify job opportunities so she could achieve self-sufficiency. Today Karl and her daughter are doing great. Had we not been there to help, however, Karl says that she and her daughter would be homeless. CASH's parmership with WHEP provides the "happy ending" to stories like Karl's. Quite simply, without this help, many families would be on the street facing more serious prob- lems. On behalf of Karl's family, and 309 families like hers (including 313 children) in suburban Hennepin County, we'd like to say "thank you" for supporting CASH's efforts to improve lives in 2001. We would also like to challenge you to refocus in 2002, and join us in the battle to end poverty in suburban Hennepin County. ~001 Annual Report HOME Line Program HOME Line began in 1992 out of growing need for tenant services in suburban Hennepin County. The program focuses on organizing tenant groups, educating high school seniors about renting, and housing policy advocacy at the state and national levels. Additionally, the program includes a statewide tenant hotline that takes over 5,000 calls per year. By the beginning of 2001, it was clear that HOME Line was able to sustain itself as a sepa- rate entity, and it was spun off from CASH in June 2001. We take great pride in having de- veloped this successful program and look forward to developing similarly prosperous pro- grams. As we look ahead to 2002, we value the opportunity to help other programs, both within and outside of CASH, develop to their fullest potential.
