Review of Conditional Use Permit-Planned Industrial Area (PLA) Amendment and other related land use and Preliminary Plat Application(s) from Mike Seeland on behalf of Mound Mini-Storage, LLC, to subdivide Portions of the Balboa Business Center property located at 5300 Shoreline Drive. Sarah Smith reviewed the application for a Conditional Use Permit-Planned Industrial Area (CUP-CIA) amendment from Michael J. Seeland on behalf of Mound Mini-Storage, LLC, for the property located at 5300-5400 Shoreline Drive. The applicant is proposing to acquire and lease portion(s) of the Balboa Business Center for the purpose of operating an internal mini-storage facility, outdoor storage lot and truck rental business. The proposal also requires other approvals by the City of Mound including, but not limited to; Operations Permit, Variance(s), and Preliminary Plat. Smith presented two options for proposed fencing and landscaping. One shows a wrought iron fence with a few shrubs, and the other is a black chain-link fence with numerous trees and plantings. Mayor Meisel opened the public hearing at 7:52 p.m. Bill Jacobwith, 5280 Lynwood Blvd., voiced concern over where the entrances are located. He feels that every car that comes out to go west will shine their headlights directly into his living room. He'd like to see the entrances moved to come out at the cross streets, not mid-block. Chris Loew, 2181 Fairview, asked about the lighting on the exterior of the building. At two blocks away, the exterior lighting still shines in his window. If the lighting can be shielded in conjunction with this project, he would appreciate it. Mary Moon, 5280 Lynwood Blvd., asked about the hours of operation. Meisel stated that the Planning Commission recommended a 10:00 p.m. closing time but the Council hasn't decided on that yet. Moon suggested 9:00 p.m. on week nights and 10:00 p.m. on week-ends. She also suggested a start time of 7:00 a.m. instead of 6:00 a.m. Jane Kempf, 2207 Centerview, was confused and said the story has been changing from one meeting to another. Originally she was told that the berm.was going to be built up and a fence, not chain link, and numerous shrubs were going to be installed. Now 2 -511 - Mound City Council Minutes - February 22 2005 it's been changed. Meisel reminded her that the final decision is the Council's and that is why two alternative were presented for the fence and landscaping. Jane Kempf stated she would like more plantings and the chain link fence vs. the wrought iron. Greg Fenzl, 2212 Fairview, also wanted the lighting corrected, and prefers the option of the black chain link fence and plantings over the wrought iron. Ed Farr of Farr Architects, representing the applicant, addressed some of the stated concerns. He feels that the traffic and car lights shining into Jacobwith's house will be much less than if the use for that building were industrial with hundreds of employees were coming and going. He offered to plant 3-4 trees on Jacobwith's property to help buffer the light, but there is no room for plantings on his lot. Meisel asked Farr about maintenance of the plantings and was informed that the maintenance would be contracted and the area will be well maintained. Mike Seeland, applicant, addressed the hours of operation, stating that he could live with the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. It was also noted that the indoor storage will be accessible 24 hours per day. Mayor Meisel closed the hearing at 8:27 pm.

Open Meetin.q Mayor Meisel called the meeting to order at 7:03 p.m. and stated that the purpose for the meeting was to meet with the Planning Commission to discuss the 2005 projects list. Meisel requested that Planning Commission Chair Geoff Michael run the meeting. 2. 2005 Work Rules and Project List The first discussion item was the Planning Commission Work Rules. Significant discussion took place regarding the attendance policy procedures set forth in the work rules including the involvement of the City Manager in the event there are recurring absences on behalf of Commission members. Current rules indicate that the Chair and Council Liaison are involved in member discussions regarding absenteeism. Staff was directed to refer the matter to an upcoming City Council meeting and prepare proposed revisions to reference a 20 percent absentee rate and inclusion of the City Manager along with the Council Liaison and Planning Commission Chair with regards to future absentees. The policy would also apply to the Docks and Parks Commission. The following projects were prioritized for Planning Commission review for 2005: 1. Nonconforming structures 2. Accessory buildings and uses 3. Exterior storage 4. Required yards and open space. The Council and Planning Commission deferred discussion on nonconforming structures including the definition of "expansion vs. improvement" and the 2004 state statute amendments until the April 2nd land use training seminar is held. Significant discussion about the current exterior storage regulations took place including enforcement activities. Smith will invite Police Chief Kurtz to attend an upcoming Commission meeting and will obtain model and/or sample ordinances from other communities. Smith also indicated that the building construction regulations regarding project completion and timelines merit discussion. 1 -514- Staff will coordinate the preparation of ordinance amendments for ground cover and sedimentation control and driveway surfacing. Staff reminded members of the City Council and Planning Commission about the upcoming Governmental Training Service (GTS) to be held on Saturday, April 2, 2005 at the Mound Public Safety Building. The 30 percent hardcover provision for waiver of platting applications was discussed. 3.

During the training we learned Minnesota State Statute 169.832 authorizes licensed Peace officers to weigh commercial vehicles. Consequently, our public works employees are not authorized to weigh overweight vehicles as they have done in the past. The State Patrol has advised us to adopt a city resolution, or ordinance authorizing the police department or their designee to weigh overweight vehicles to resolve this matter. It should be noted that the overweight vehicles must still be lawfully stopped or detained by a police officer, prior to a civilian weighing the vehicle and its contents. I've attached a copy of Mound Police Directive Number 47, which outlines the department's process for charging overweight vehicles. This year, vehicles that are weighed and found to be 30,000 pounds or more overweight will be pursued civilly. The goal is to try and recover as much fine money as possible to off-set the damages that are occurring to street infrastructure as a result of overweight vehicles. -546- Directive Number 47 To: All Staff From: Chief Jim Kurtz Date: January 24, 2005 Subject: Commercial Vehicle Enforcement The purpose of this Directive is to outline the process for Commercial Vehicle Weight Enforcement, which causes damage to the infrastructure of city streets. The following guidelines will be used to charge drivers, owners, or lessee of overweight vehicles. The guidelines have been approved by City Prosecutor, Craig Mertz with the understanding the city is attempting to recover financial losses associated to street damages. Weight Less than 7,000 pounds over Charging Issue a driver citation 169.824S.1 and 169.827 using statme 7,000 - 30,000 pounds over Formally charge owner or lessee of truck using statute 169.824S.1 and 169.827 Greater than 30,000 'Pursue owner or lessee civilly Formal Charging; 1. The investigating officer will confirm the identity of the owner, or lessee through interviews, and record checks with the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Attorney General's Office. 2. The officer will make contact with the owner or lessee and inform them about the violation and criminal charges. 3. The officer will forward their report to the city attorney for formal charging.. Civil Process: 1.

The Chief of Police will send a certified letter to the owner or lessee informing them of the violation and requesting payment. 4. The Chief of Police or Lieutenant may negotiate a financial settlement with the owner or lessee. The formula for calculating the civil fines over 7,000 pounds will include: flat rate addback of $610.00 and $.20 per pound penalty in accordance to Minnesota State Statue 169.871.

Fackler gave a brief overview of this request stating that Council already approved this request, remanding the dock placement/design issue for the extension of Lot 18, which includes city-controlled shoreline, to the DCAC. Fackler explained the three options staff feels are available for assigning an abutting dock site to this property. Fackler also pointed out that the non-abutter would not be moved until a home was built and the homeowner moved in. Discussion followed. MOTION by Specht to assign abutting status to 09005 and allowing the current non-abutting dock holder to remain there temporarily until a home is built and the homeowner moves in. SECOND by Eurich.

REABING OF MINUTES. 1/12/05 LMCD Regular Board Meeting MOTION: Foster moved, Knudsen seconded to approve the minutes from the 1/12/05 LMCD Regular Board Meeting as submitted. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC COMMENTS- Persons in attendance, subjects not on agenda (5 min.) There were no comments from the public on subjects not on the agenda. -556- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting January 26, 2005 Page 2 CONSENT AGENDA- Consent agenda items identified with a (*) will be approved in one motion unless a Board member requests discussion of any item, in which case the item will be removed from the consent agenda. Ambrose moved, Foster seconded to approve the consent agenda submitted. Motion carried unanimously. Items so approved include: 3A, Audit of vouchers (1/16/05 - 1131105), and 3B, December financial summary and balance sheet. Skramstad stated that Van Hercke had requested moving agenda item 2A in front of lA. Without an objection from the Board, he stated that he would do so accordingly. No objections were expressed. Suerth arrived at 7:08 p.m. 2. LAKE USE & RECREATION A. Chair update of 1/20/05 Lake Minnetonka Boat Density Sub-Committee Meeting, Skramstad asked Van Hercke for background on this agenda item. Van Hercke provided an overview of the 1/20/05 Lake Minnetonka'Boat Density Sub-Committee meeting. This discussion is outlined in the Meeting Report for this sub-committee meeting. She stated that the next sub-committee meeting was scheduled on 2/3/05 at 7:30 a.m. in the LMCD office. Skramstad stated that he would like to discuss membership to this sub-committee. Similar to the first sub-committee, the Board has established that membership to the second sub-committee would be limited to Board members. This Board direction would not prohibit new Board members from actively participating on this sub-committee as long as they can catch up quickly. The City of Deephaven and their newly appointed LMCD Board member, David Gross, have requested that outgoing LMCD Board member Bert Foster be allowed to continue on the sub-committee. Skramstad stated that Foster had communicated to him that he was interested in continuing to participate on the subcommittee and a question for the Board was whether to provide an exception for him. Van Hercke stated that there had been other citizens and organizations that have frequently attended sub-committee meetings. The Board has previously discussed this and the consensus was that discussion at the sub-committee meeting should be limited to Board members, with public input planned for a later date. She stated that if the Board would like to keep the prior decision to limit discussion at sub-committee meetings to Board members, then David Gross should represent Deephaven. If an exception is provided for Foster, she questioned whether exceptions should be provided for those citizens and organizations that have attended past sub-committee meetings. She recommended that the discussion should be limited to the Board level because of fairness and dual representation for Deephaven on this sub-committee. MOTION: Suerth moved, Valdesuso seconded to allow Bert Foster to continue to serve on the Lake Minnetonka Boat Density Sub-Committee as an ex-officio Board member until -557- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting January 26, 2005 Page3 completion of the sub-committee's work and recommendations are made. Burma and Seuntjens asked for clarification on whether Foster would be able to only participate or whether he would be able to both participate and vote at the sub-committee level. Suerth stated that he envisioned that only one representative for Deephaven would have the ability to vote at a sub-committee meeting. However, this would not preclude Deephaven from having two members on the sub-committee. VOTE: Ayes (2, Suerth and Valdesuso), Nayes (7), Abstained (1, Foster); motion failed. WATER STRUCTURES A. LMCD Code Section 2.09, discussion of Code relating to deicing installations on Lake Minnetonka. Skramstad stated that the Board declared a one-year moratorium this past August to review existing Code relating to deicing installations. Staff has prepared a spreadsheet that summarizes existing Code and he asked Nybeck for an overview of it. Nybeck provided an overview of the spreadsheet through a PowerPoint presentation. Code provisions he reviewed in this PowerPoint presentation included: 1) area to be deiced, 2) fencing requirements, 3) signage requirements, 4) lighting requirements, 5) the no permit date, 6) permanent versus seasonal docks, 7) buoys (informational purposes), and 8) charter boats (informational purposes). He entertained questions or comments from the Board. During the course of the presentation, a number of questions were made by Board members and addressed by staff. Some of these include: · Are people properly educated on how to operate deicing equipment? · Is it realistic to have fencing within dock use areas, especially early and late in the winter? · Is deicing appropriate at narrow lots because of potential impacts on adjacent properties? · How many deicing permits are issued by the LMCD annually, with a breakdown of residential versus commercial? · Should the Code further define which sites can deice safely and which sites cannot? · Should deicing be allowed at seasonal docks that are left in the lake 12 months a year? · Is there a need for added enforcement of current Code for problematic sites? · Should more current deicing equipment, including deicing curtains, be required at problematic sites? · Should the no permit date be moved back to an alternative date, such as April 1st? Skramstad stated that he believed that there was a need to distinguish between deicing at permanent docks versus seasonal docks. Additionally, he believed that Board should discuss how to deal with deicing at narrow lots where the activity could occur outside of extended side site lines. -558- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting January 26, 2005 Page 4 Valdesuso stated that he believed that any changes should take into consideration public safety for children enjoying the lake. Seuntjens questioned how potential deicing at recently issued permanent docks, such as fencing, could be addressed. Harper stated that language has been placed on recently approved permanent dock permits that current and future LMCD deicing regulations would apply to these sites. This language was placed on these permits because it was anticipated that there would be a Board review of current deicing regulations. Seuntjens stated that he generally believed the existing Code was adequate if the licensees purchased the newer deicing equipment and managed the sites properly. However, he would like the Board to discuss whether to move the no permit back to another date, such as April 1st. Harper stated that the vast majority of commercial docks are permanent docks and the Board might want to consider scaling back how close the applicant can construct in vicinity to the edge of the dock use area for that site if they plan to deice. Zischke stated that she believed a number of the points raised by staff could be addressed through added enforcement. She also supported the idea of moving the no permit date back to April 1st. Foster expressed concern about moving the no permit date back to April 1st because of ice-out history dates changing from year to year, with an average of April 15th. There are a number of current property owners that deice without permits that would be affected by moving this date from March 15th. Seuntjens stated that he believed there is a significant amount of human activity that takes place on the ice during the month of March after fishing houses are required to be removed by state law. Skramstad stated that based on the discussion, he believed there were three points for the Board to consider. These included the idea of changing the no permit date back to an alternative date, deicing at permanent versus seasonal docks, and how to deal with deicing at narrow residential sites. Knudsen expressed his concern about granting future permits for permanent docks, except at commercial marinas. Additionally, he expressed his concern about deicing at seasonal docks because these docks should be installed and removed each boating season or should not have an expectation to deice if they are kept in the lake 12 months a year. Harper reminded the Board of two commercial sites where the Board has granted zero foot side setback variances. Both of these sites deice so it is impractical to deice with extended side site lines. -559- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting January 26, 2005 Page LeFevere stated that based on the discussion, it appears that deicing within dock use areas as established in current Code is problematic, especially at commercial marinas, because docks and poles are installed right up to the edge of a dock use area. The current Code is not being enforced because it does not work. One alternative approach would be to allow deicing with authorized deicing areas. For example, the Board could require fencing to be within both extended side site lines and to limit fencing to either the end of the dock use area or 30' out beyond the end of the dock, whichever is less. The Board could require the applicant to submit an application for a change to these requirements on a case by case basis, for special circumstances. This concept could also be applied to narrow residential sites. If a site becomes problematic, the Board could require a deicing site to turn off deicing equipment if open water or weakened ice extends out beyond the fence. This deicing equipment would not be able to be turned back on until the problems are resolved and the Executive Director could require additional fencing in the interim. MOTION: Ambrose moved, Van Hercke seconded to direct LeFevere to prepare an ordinance amendment that summarizes the concepts he outlined earlier in the meeting for discussion purposes at a future Board meeting. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. The Board discussed the idea of moving the no-permit date back from March 15th. The consensus of the Board was for staff to further research this and report back to the Board on feedback from those facilities that deice after March 15th without a permit, on the possibility of making a change to this date. MOTION: Knudsen moved, Foster seconded prohibit the issuing of deicing permits to seasonal docks or multiple dock licenses with less than 10 Boat Storage Units (BSU's) that utilize seasonal docks. LeFevere asked if there would be any grandfathering for those facilities that are outside the boundaries of the motion. Knudsen stated that he would prefer no grandfathering. The Board discussed the motion and the consensus was that it would be beneficial for staff to prepare a spreadsheet that summarizes deicing permits for the 2004-2005 season. This spreadsheet should include the name of each facility, whether the facility is commercial or residential, whether the dock is permanent or seasonal, and whether the facility is a licensed multiple dock (including the number of BSU's). Knudsen and Foster agreed to withdraw their motion. The Board briefly discussed whether deicing should be allowed at narrow residential sites. The consensus of the Board was to allow for the construction of permanent docks at narrow residential sites, provided deicing can be done with LMCD regulations. Van Hercke left at 8:48 p.m. -560- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting January 26, 2005 Page 6 B. Discussion of LMCD Code that regulates dock installations on Lake Minnetonka. Skramstad asked Nybeck for background on this agenda item. Nybeck stated that he had discussed with Skramstad the idea of forwarding a letter, and possibly coordinating a meeting, with dock installers and local realtors on LMCD Code pertaining to dock installations on Lake Minnetonka. There appears to be a greater number of docks on Lake Minnetonka that do not comply with LMCD Code and the Board might want to review its Code prior to either sending a letter out or coordinating a meeting. He reviewed LMCD Code for an authorized dock use area, including length and setback restrictions, and dock construction standards. He stated that LMCD Code prohibits a dock from exceeding six feet, excluding posts in either its length or width, but not both. The State of Minnesota has a similar restriction; however, it is eight feet rather than six feet. There are a number of docks that do not meet deck construction standards, with the majority of non-compliance taking place for dock width and platforms at the end of docks. He suggested that the Board might want to consider updating the six-foot restriction to eight feet so that it would be consistent State of Minnesota rules. Possible rule changes could be forwarded to dock installers for their comments and a public hearing could be scheduled at a later date. He entertained questions or comments from the Board. The Board discussed the recommendation made by Nybeck. There was consensus of the Board that changing the six-foot requirement to eight feet for the platform made sense. However, the consensus of the Board did not believe that a similar change was necessary for dock width leading out to the platform. Nybeck stated that he would prepare a letter, with attachments necessary, to be reviewed at the 2/9/05 Board meeting. This letter, after review and comments from the Board, would be sent out to dock installers and local realtors in the near future. C. Discussion of LMCD Code relating to bridges on Lake Minnetonka. The consensus of the Board was to move this agenda item to a future Board Meeting. D. Additional Business. There was no additional business. LAKE USE & RECREATION B. LMCD Code Section 3.021, discussion of Code relating to "High Water Emergencies" on Lake Minnetonka. The consensus of the Board was to move this agenda item to a future Board meeting. ¢. Additional Business. There was no additional business. -561 - Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting January 26, 2005 3. FINANCIAL C. Additional Business, Page 7 Valdesuso stated that he would like to have discussion at this or another Board meeting on whether it feasible to have a credit or debit card instead of petty cash because he believed that petty cash is a thing of the past. There are better way to ~rotect funds in the office and to track expenses incurred by the LMCD office. The Board discussed and the consensus was that no changes were necessary at this time. ADMINISTRATION A. Staff update on appointment of LMCD Board members whose term expired in January 2005. Skramstad asked Nybeck for background on this agenda item. Nybeck stated that a letter was sent out in October to nine member cities informing them that the term for their appointed Board member would expire on 12/31/05. Confirmation has been received from eight of the nine cities, with four cities re-appointing their existing Board member and four cities appointing a new Board member. The City of Orono is currently working on finding a replacement for Debbie Halvorson and he stated that he would keep the Board informed on this. B. Additional Business. There was no additional business. EWM/EXOTICS TASK FORCE There was no discussion. SAVE THE LAKE Nybeck stated that donations received from the winter solicitation letter were $9,615. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR There was no Executive Director Report. OLD BUSINESS "Hi,qh-Water" Discussion Seuntjens requested historical background on "High Water" declarations when this ordinance is brought back for Board discussion, City of Minnetrista Knudsen stated that the Minnetrista Planning Commission had recently discussed a draft ordinance relating to Six Mile Creek. He attended this meeting, as well as representatives from the MCWD and -562- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting January 26, 2005 Page 8 the LMA. The Minnetrista Planning Commission tabled action on this draft ordinance until their February meeting. He stated that he would like to have the Board discuss this draft ordinance at the 2/9/05 Board meeting to see whether it supports the draft ordinance. Skramstad stated that this draft ordinance amendment would be on the agenda for the 2/9/05 Board meeting. City of Greenwood Issues Zischke asked for an update on the Canning litigation and the possible non-compliance at a residential dock that was granted a variance in the past few years. LeFevere stated that a mediation session had recently took place with the Cannings and the abutting property owners. The mediation session did not result in a settlement and the mediator agreed that the parties were at an impasse. Foster updated the Board on the possible non-compliance at the residential that was granted a variance. He and Nybeck visited the site and he believed that there was conflicting survey information between the two parties, possibly because of problems locating the 929.4 shoreline at the common side site line because of the installation of rip rap in this area. He stated that he did not have a specific recommendation on how to proceed; however, it makes sense to take no further action at this time. The Board discussed this matter and the consensus was to take no further action at this time. The Board directed Nybeck to contact both parties indicating this. 9. NEW BUSINESS Skramstad provided an overview of a map that he had prepared that delineated the shoreline for the 14 cities on Lake Minnetonka. 10. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:45 p.m. Tom Skramstad, Chair Jose Valdesuso, Secretary -563- LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS 7:00 PM, Wednesday, February 9, 2005 Wayzata City Hall CALL TO ORDER Skramstad called the meeting to order at 7:04 p.m. ROLL CALL Members present: Tom Skramstad, Shorewood; Katy Van Hercke, Minnetonka; Paul Knudsen, Minnetrista; Jose Valdesuso, Excelsior; Doug Babcock, Tonka Bay; John Berns, Wayzata; David Gross, Deephaven; Steve Johnson, Mound; Pete Nelson, Victoria; Tom Seuntjens, Minnetonka Beach; Herb Suerth, Woodland. Also present: Greg Nybeck, Executive Director; Judd Harper, Administrative Technician. Members absent: Tom Scanlon, Spring Park; Cree Zischke, Greenwood; the City of Orono has no appointed member. CHAIR ANNOUNCEMENTS, Chair Skramstad Skramstad stated that the new Board members for Deephaven, Mound, and Wayzata had already been sworn in. He welcomed new Board members Gross, Johnson, and Berns on behalf of the Board. PUBLIC COMMENTS- Persons in attendance, subjects not on agenda (5 min.) Mr. Gabriel Jabbour, owner of Tonka Bay Marina, stated that a number of marina owners were in attendance to discuss the activities of the Lake Minnetonka Boat Density Sub-Committee. He stated that he had made a request to the Executive Director to have the ability for the marina owners to have a dialogue with this sub-committee prior to the public hearing. He believed that this dialogue would add substantial input prior to bringing proposals forward to the public though a hearing. Jabbour believed the LMCD would be misserved by not requesting the input from the commercial marina owners early in the process, especially the discussion relating to multiple docks and size of boats. Mr. irwin Jacobs encouraged the Board to have the sub-committee solicit input from the public prior to making recommended policy changes. Mr. Dave Briggs, representing Minnetonka Marine and Wayzata Marine, stated that he would like to assist the sub-committee because some of the discussion that has taken place at the sub-committee level is important to his business. Ms. Roxanne Rockvam, representing Rockvam Boat Yards, echoed previous comments and encouraged the sub-committee to allow input from the commercial marinas. -564- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting February 9, 2005 Page 2 Mr. Rich Anderson, owner of North Shore Marina, reiterated comments regarding participation of the marina owners. Mr. Randy Boyd, 19960 Minnetonka Bivd., stated that he had attended numerous sub-committee meetings. He provided his opinion on why he believed the sub-committee was established and the discussion that has taken place. He encouraged the LMCD to hold a public hearing on any possible policy changes relating to boat density on Lake Minnetonka. Skramstad stated that he believed the motivations of the sub-committee are to help preserve and continue to protect the lake. The sub-committee is at the brainstorming stage where ideas are being discussed and decisions are not being made. He believed that the best interest of the community is at heart with the sub- committee and the input from the stakeholders will be valued at a later date. Jabbour stated that the commercial marinas had valuable information that they would make available to the sub-committee to assist in its decision making process. He encouraged the Board to take advantage of this offer. Babcock stated that there was discussion at the last sub-committee meeting to identify the stakeholders. He stated that he supported the input from the commercial marinas and he encouraged them to attend future sub-committee meetings. CONSENT AGENDA- Consent agenda items identified with a (*) will be approved in one motion unless a Board member requests discussion of any item, in which case the item will be removed from the consent agenda. Nelson moved, Van Hercke seconded to approve the consent agenda as submitted. Motion carried unanimously. Items so approved include: lC, 2005 Multiple Dock Licenses, staff recommends Board approval of 2005 renewal without change multiple dock license applications as outlined in 2/3/05 staff memo, and 3A, Audit of vouchers (2/1/05 - 2/15/05). PUBLIC HEARING · City of Tonka Bay, new multiple dock license application to add one Boat Storage Unit (BSU) for the storage of an Excelsior Fire Department fire/rescue boat utilizing LMCD Code 2.02, subd. 6. Skramstad opened the public hearing at 7:20 p.m. and asked for background from Harper. Harper reviewed the staff memo, dated 2/2/05, which summarized the City of Tonka Bay new multiple dock license application. He stated the applicant had amended their site plan that would install two pilings, rather than dock structure, on the south side of BSU #29. He recommended the Board approve the application for the 2005 boating season, provided the Board was comfortable with the proposed amended site plan. Berns asked staff if they were aware of the number of fire/rescue boats on Lake Minnetonka. -565- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting February 9, 2008 Page 3 Nybeck stated that he believed there were four fire/rescue boats on Lake Minnetonka. These boats include the Cities of Excelsior, Long Lake/Orono, Mound, and Wayzata. Skramstad asked if there were comments on the application from either the applicant or the public. There being no further comments, Skramstad opened the public hearing at 7:25 p.m. Babcock recommended that the applicant reconsider amending the site plan in which pilings have been substituted for the dock structure as originally proposed. By doing this, the City of Tonka Bay could install the pilings at this time, without the decking, and install the decking at a later time and avoid the need to have a subsequent approval. MOTION: Babcock moved, Nelson seconded to approve the Tonka Bay new multiple dock license application to add one BSU for the 2005 season for the storage of a fire/rescue boat as proposed in the original site plan. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. WATER STRUCTURES A. LMCD Code Section 2.09, discussion of Code relating to deicing installations on Lake Minnetonka. Skramstad asked for background from Nybeck. Nybeck stated that there was significant discussion at the 1/26/05 Board meeting relating to Code Section 2.09. Based on this discussion, staff was directed to prepare three items for further discussion. First, a draft ordinance amendment has been prepared relating to establishing authorized deicing use areas. The focus of the Board discussion should be on any changes to the draft ordinance, rather than approving a reading, because this concept will be discussed with the public sometime in the near future. Second, staff was directed to prepare a spreadsheet that summarizes the number of permits issued for the 2004 season, including the type of facility and type of dock construction. This has been included in the packet for Board discussion. Third, staff was directed to get feedback from facilities that take advantage of the March 15th no permit date. This has not yet been done and staff will need to report back on this at a later time. He stated that staff had included a sheet that summarizes Lake Minnetonka Ice-Out dates from 1855 through 2004 for informational purposes. He recommended that the Board discuss these items and decide when it would like to schedule a date for public input on changes being considered. The Board discussed the draft ordinance amendment and the consensus was for the Board to review it and discuss it at a future meeting. Babcock stated that he had some minor changes he would like included in the ordinance amendment and he was directed by the Board to work with LeFevere on this. Mr. Rich Anderson, owner of North Shore Marina, stated that he has deiced at his current facility and that he had previously deiced at Sailors World and Wayzata Yacht Club. He believed that the March 15th date for fencing requirements was the right date and that it should be maintained. -566- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting February 9, 2005 Page 4 B. Discussion of LMCD Code that regulates dock inStallations on Lake Minnetonka. Skramstad asked for background from Nybeck. Nybeck stated that there was significant discussion at the 1/26/05 Board meeting to change deck width construction standards of the LMCD to eight feet for platforms, while maintaining the existing six foot standard for walkways. Staff was directed to prepare a letter for preliminary review to be sent out to local dock installers and realtors. This has not been completed and he believed that this could be done at a future Board meeting. In the meantime, the Board could direct LeFevere to prepare a draft ordinance amendment that would allow deck construction for platforms to be increased from six feet to eight feet. The Board discussed this and the consensus was that there was no need to prepare a Code amendment at this time. The consensus of the Board was that this would be discussed at a future Board meeting. D. Additional Business. There was no additional business. 2. LAKE USE & RECREATION A. Chair update of 2/3/05 Lake Minnetonka Boat Density Sub-Committee Meeting; Skramstad asked Van Hercke for background on this agenda item. Van Hercke provided an overview of the 2/3/05 Lake Minnetonka Boat Density Sub-Committee meeting. This discussion is outlined in the Meeting Report for this sub-committee meeting. She restated that the sub-committee had brainstormed ideas and that no decisions had been made. In fact, there will be discussion at the next sub-committee relating to stakeholders and how to get them involved in the process. The next sub-committee meeting is scheduled for 3/17/05 at 7:30 a.m. in the LMCD office. Babcock stated that the sub-committee meetings are open and available to the public. For those interested in attending the next sub-committee meeting, he encouraged them to contact the LMCD office because of the limited meeting space. Seuntjens stated that he would like the minutes to reflect which new Board members had an interest in participating on this sub-committee. Gross and Berns stated that they had an interest. B. LMCD Code Section 3.021, discussion of Code relating to "High Water" Emergencies on Lake Minnetonka. Skramstad stated that staff has prepared a spreadsheet that summarizes existing Code relating to "High Water" emergencies. He asked Nybeck to provide an overview of it. Nybeck provided an overview of the spreadsheet through a PowerPoint presentation. Code -567- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting February §, 200 Page provisions he reviewed in this PowerPoint presentation included: 1) the trigger point for a "High Water" emergency, 2) wake restrictions during "High Water" emergencies, 3) the termination point for a "High Water" emergency, and 4) communication efforts. He entertained questions or comments from the Board. Babcock stated that he believed the Board should consider wording changes to the existing ordinance. These included rewording the "consecutive day requirement" and changing the termination language from "shall" to "may" under termination. He recommended that the LMCD should consider investing in four to six floating signs to be placed in high traffic areas 600' from · shore to educate the public on minimum wake restrictions within this shorezone. The Board discussed a number of aspects relating to a "High Water" emergency. Some of these included: · The idea of declaring the entire lake minimum wake during a "High Water" emergency. There was no consensus of the Board on this. · Other means of communicating a "High Water" emergency to the public. This included patterning what the U.S. Coast Guard utilizes, including a flag system. · Whether the 930.0' lake level was the proper benchmark, especially if the Board is inclined to declare the whole lake minimum wake during a "High Water" emergenoy. · Whether there was a need for consecutive days in the ordinance. · Whether there should be a two-tier approach for"High Water" emergencies. · The impact that wind has on shoreline erosion compared to wakes generated by boats. · The problems the Water Patrol has enforcing wakes restrictions during a "High Water" emergency. Skramstad stated that he believed there are three thoughts for the Board to consider during a "High Water" emergency. The first thought is to declare the entire lake minimum wake, which is the most controversial. The second thought is to improve communication means, including floating signs and flags. The third thought is to make some language changes to make the ordinance more manageable, The Board discussed this and the consensus of the Board was for Babcock to work with LeFevere on language that he discussed during this agenda item. Once these language changes have been made, this will be brought back to the Board for discussion in the near future. C. Discussion of City of Minnetrista draft ordinance relating to Six Mile Creek. Skramstad asked Knudsen for background on this agenda item. Knudsen stated that the City of Minnetrista was considering an ordinance amendment relating to Six Mile Creek. This ordinance would address a number of environmental and density concerns that the LMCD had on Six Mile Creek and were addressed in the electric trolling motor ordinance, which was declared not within the jurisdiction of the LMCD by the legislature at the lest legislative session. This draft ordinance was considered at the last Minnetrista Planning Commission and was tabled. The primary concerns for the City of Minnetrista include environmental and wetland -568- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting February 9, 2005 Page 6 concerns. The MCWD and the LMA have already expressed support for this draft ordinance, as well as a number of Halsteads Bay residents. He asked the Board to provide its support of this draft ordinance amendment. The Board discussed this and the consensus of the Board was for the LMCD to support the draft Minnetrista ordinance amendment. MOTION: Babcock moved, Gross seconded to direct Nybeck to work with Chair Skramstad on the preparation of a letter expressing the support of the LMCD for the City of Minnetrista draft ordinance. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. D. Additional Business. There was no additional business. FINANCIAL B. Additional Business. Nybeck stated that the work for the 2004 LMCD audit had recently commenced in the LMCD office. Because of the additional grant funds received from the MN DNR for the 2004 EWM Harvesting Program, revenue will exceed expenses by approximately $13,000. Prior to the 2005 EWM Harvesting Program, new motors will need to be purchased for the work pontoon and transport barge. Nybeck stated that he believed that the $13,000 should be transferred to the Equipment Replacement fund, which has been set up for capital equipment expenditures for the harvesting program. The auditor has stated that the Board should authorize this transfer of funds and draft LMCD Resolution 112 has been prepared so accordingly. MOTION: Babcock moved, Suerth seconded to approve LMCD Resolution 112 as proposed. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. Nybeck stated that he would include on a future agenda, proposed outboard motor purchases for consideration by the Board. ADMINISTRATION There was no discussion.

Sara Messelt and Sue Terwey from Minnesota Organization on Fetal Ale0h01 Syndrome regented information. There are three names and levels > of disability to this brain defect, FAS - Fetal Alcohol Syndrome or FASD > > > - Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. FAS is more sever than FAE- Fetal Alcohol Effects, which is harder to diagnosis. Sue coordinates Seeds of Success (SOS) that helps families raising children exposed to alcohol pre-natally. Former Governor Carlson's wife Susan helped to form the group because of a lack of understanding of this type of brain damage. She believed that awareness and family assistance are the best way to prevent and work with this disability. Alcohol exposure to a fetus can cause permanent, irreversible brain damage. There are no safe levels of alcohol consumption while pregnant. This is a lifetime disability with brain injury that never goes away. Some children learn to adapt but they are never able to be cured. There is a broad range of characteristics that vary from person to person. Diagnosing FAS, a person must have signs in each of the areas of; growth retardation, abnormalities in the central nervous system (10 different areas of the brain), facial abnormalities: wide spread eyes, philtrum, thin upper lip, and a history of prenatal maternal alcohol consumption. Many of the children with FAS are in foster care or have been adopted and the maternal history is hard to find. Minnesota is the 7th highest state for women binge drinkers. In U.S., FAS estimates range from 2-15 cases per 10,000 births. FAE occurs 3-4 times more likely than FAS. Prenatal alcohol exposure is the leading cause of mental retardation, yet only a small number of those diagnosed have IQ's in the MR range. Recorder Leah Weycker - 576- 2/28/2005 February 2005 Within the first several weeks of the 2005 legislative session, legislators and the Governor have raised Northstar Commuter Rail as one of the state's top transportation priorities and appear to have placed the project on a fast track toward approval. At the start of session, Gov. Pawlenty included Northstar in his bonding recommendations. In late January, the Minnesota Senate overwhelmingly approved a state bonding bill that included the funding request of $37.5 million for Northstar. The bill was passed by a 57-7 vote margin. In the House of Representatives, Northstar legislation was introduced in mid January - by 18 Republicans and 17 DFLers, which is the maximum number of authors allowed on House bills. The bill also includes a mix of legislators from suburban, inner city and rural legislative districts, illustrating Northstar's strong statewide support. House action is expected by the end of February. With continued leadership from ~ legislators and Gov. Pawlenty, supporters are optimistic that state funding will be secured this year. Impo~ant proiect advancomOnts for No~hstar Gommutor ~ail havo occurroO ovor tho past six months: ~r°coodin~ with land acquisition for stations, ~ark-and-rido areas and a :maintonanco facility. Signed engineering contracts to design statioos, a maintenance facility and the Hiawatha Light Rail connection. Northstar Project Office opened. Productive discussions with the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Railroad about track and signal improvements. -577- In the November 2004 election, voters in cities across the country supported ballot initiatives to create balanced transportation systems. While no such initiatives were placed on Minnesota ballots, traffic congestion emerged as a top concern. The largest voter-approved measure was Denver's · FasTracks, which will build 119 miles of track for light rail and commuter trains, 18 miles of Bus Rapid Transit service, 21,000 new rail and bus station parking spaces, and expanded bus service. FasTracks will relieve traffic congestion and help o draw potential business tenants. The $4.7 billion project will be paid forby a sales tax increase of four-tenths of 1 percent. "FasTracks will be a key differentiator between Denver and other cities," according to Denver's largest office landlord. Denver is similar to the Twin Cities Metro Area in size and socioeconomic profile. It also thrives on education, competes for the same pool of creative, high-value workers, and expects to add a million people over the next 20 years. Other voter-approved comprehensive transportation plans included: Phoenix, Ariz.- Extends half-cent sales tax for 20 years, funding $16 billion in various transit projects. Sacramento, Calif. - Extends half-cent sales tax ($4.7 billion) for road and transit improvements. San Antonio, Texas - A new sales tax of on e- quarter of 1 cent for roads, transit and local matches for federal highway funding. More than 30 newspapers across Minnesota editorialized in favor of recognizing Northstar Commuter Rail as an important part of a comprehensive transportation system for the state. 'q-he next step is for the state to get serious about the proposed Northstar commuter rail route from Minneapolis to Big Lake, if not all the way to St. Cloud as originally intended." - Duluth News-Tribune, June 26 2004. "For those in Fergus, [the Northstar Commuter Rail] would have an immediate and direct benefit - a Iow-stress, Iow-pollution way to cover the worst half of any trip to the Twin Cities." - Fergus Falls Daily Journal, July 8, 2004. 'q'he worsening vehicle bottleneck around the Twin Cities is a problem that affects everyone in the state.'.. Commuter lines like Northstar make good economic, environmental and logistical sense." - Rochester Post-Bulletin, May 3, 2004. "Commuter and light rail systems will improve the air quality, reduce our reliance on Middle East oil, spur economic development and job creation, improve worker productivity and foster more livable communities. All Minnesotans benefit if the Twin Cities, their Main Street, is strong." - Hutchinson Leader, June 22, 2004. -578- LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT 18338 Minnetonka Blvd. Deephaven, MN 55391 (952) 745-0789 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR NEWSLETTER Gregory S. Nybeck February 23, 2005 Lake Minnetonka Water Patrol Update: Since 2001, there has been increased Water Patrol presence on Lake Minnetonka by adding two full-time Hennepin County Sheriff's Office Patrol Deputies for five months from mid May through mid October. In 2001 and 2002, funding of this program was 50% from Hennepin County and 50% from the Lake Minnetonka area. In 2003 and 2004, funding of this program was 100% from Hennepin County. Continuation of this program is planned for 2005 with Hennepin County funding 100% of the program. Lake Minnetonka Solar LiRht Buoy Project: For the third consecutive boat season, solar lights purchased with "Save the Lake" Funds were installed on top of existing red and green navigational buoys in 2004. Six areas of Lake Minnetonka were chosen to participate in this project in 2004. These six areas included: 1) two channels east of the Arcola Bridge, 2) the channel on the southeast side of Spray Island on the Upper Lake, 3) both ends of the Narrows and Arcola Bridge channels, 4) the channel near Cedar Point East on Wayzata Bay, 5) the channel on nOrtheast Cooks Bay at the Emerald Lake Bridge, and 6) the channel on the west side of Wawatasso Island on the Upper Lake. Feedback from this project in 2004 was encouraging and continuation of this project in 2005 is likely, with the possibility of expanding it to other areas of Lake Minnetonka. Lake Minnetonka Zebra Mussel Proiect: In 2004, the LMCD coordinated with the MN DNR to increase inspections conducted at selected public accesses to assist in preventing the introduction of zebra mussels and other invasive species into Lake Minnetonka. In 2004, there was an emphasis on conducting inspections at high volume public accesses during peak periods. The MN DNR had some problems in 2004 covering 100 percent of the hours the LMCD had contracted with them. Steps have been taken by the MN DNR for 2005 that the LMCD hopes will resolve this problem. We will keep you informed on the' status of this program. 2004 Lake Minnetonka Boat Density and User Attitude Surveys: ThomTech Design conducted these surveys in compliance with the Management Plan for Lake Minnetonka. This is a joint project of the LMCD and the MN DNR, with each agency paying 50% of the associated costs. A presentation of this project is tentatively planned for the 4/13/05 LMCD Regular Board Meeting. A copy of this project should be available sometime in the near future. 2005 LMCD Board Officers & LMCD Board Appointments: Discussion and elections for 2005 Board Officers took place at the 1/12/05 Regular LMCD Board Meeting. LMCD Board Officers elected for 2005 include: Tom Skrarnstad- Chair, Katy Van Hercke- Vice Chair, Paul Knudsen- Treasurer, and Jose Valdesuso- Secretary. LMCD member cities Deephaven, Greenwood, Minnetrista, Mound, Orono, Shorewood, Spring Park, Tonka Bay, and Wayzata were notified this past October that their representative on the LMCD Board of Directors would expire at the end of January and that there was a need to either the current Board member or appoint a new Board member, beginning with the first Regular LMCD Board Meeting in February. Four of the nine LMCD member cities appointed their Board member from 2004 for 2005. New LMCD Board members include: David Gross for Deephaven, Cree Zischke for Greenwood, Steve Johnson for Mound, and John Berns for Wayzata. Orono is currently seeking a replacement for Debbie Halvorson. -579- II I~ , ,Il ~1 , EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR NEWSLETTER, 2/23/05, PAGE 2 "Save the Lake" Recognition Banquet Dinner: The 38th anniversary "Save the Lake" Recognition Banquet Dinner took place on Thursday, 2/10/05, at the Bayview Event Center in Excelsior.

It is titled Renew the Partnership: A Principled Approach to Financing City Government and was developed by the Financing Local Government Task Force. The Task Force itself is a unique and important coming-together of the city community. Task Force members were city officials, elected and appointed, from across the state and included representatives of the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities, the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities, the League of Minnesota Cities, the Minnesota Association of Small Cities, the Municipal Legislative Commission, and the Range Association of Municipalities and Schools. These groups achieved a unity on fiscal issues that has not been seen since the Minnesota Miracle of the 1970s. Building upon this unity, the Task Force will continue its work on other fiscal issues not fully addressed in this first report. The purpose of this Task Force was to analyze local funding issues, explore current problems in the state-local fiscal relationship, and propose solutions that benefit the collective interests of all Minnesotans. From this starting point, the Task Force met over many months and came to agreement on five principles that should be the foundation for an effective fiscal relationship between cities and the State: Accountability, Certainty, Flexibility, Adequacy and Equity. Recommendations for how to achieve each of these principles were then developed. These recommendations should be viewed as a starting point for discussion with state legislators and administration officials. The recommendations were also developed understanding the diversity of fiscal situations and opportunities among Minnesota cities. While not all the tools recommended will be viable options for all communities, the Task Force believes that cities should have more options to choose from in determining what makes sense to fund city services. Enclosed is a printed copy of the report and an executive summary. We have also enclosed talking points to assist you in communicating the contents of the report to others, such as business groups, civic groups and to the general public -582- at a council meeting. Additional tools, such as a PowerPoint presentation, are posted on our website and available on CD upon request. If you have any questions about the report or want more information on any of the recommendations it contains, please contact Eric Willette, the League's Policy Research Manager, at 651-281-1245 or willette@tmnc.org. Sincerely.

The end product of their efforts, a report titled Renew the Partnership: .4 Principled Approach to Financing City Government, is a roadmap to guide policymakers toward renewal of a productive and forward-looking intergovernmental partnership. The sense of unity among members of the city community involved in this project was, itself, important and extraordinary. Participating organizations with representatives on the Task Force include the League of Minnesota Cities, the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities, the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities, the Minnesota Association of Small Cities, the Municipal Legislative Commission, and the Range Association of Municipalities and Schools. Why action is needed Budget uncertainties and volatility resulting from deep cuts in state revenue sharing and levy limits are taking their tolls. Cities have had to pull back on community priorities like economic development, public safety, parks, libraries, streets, and infrastructure. (ADD SPECIFIC EXAMPLES FROM YOUR CITY) In addition to service cuts, cities have taken extraordinary measures to squeeze out every efficiency, to parmer for economies of scale, and to develop creative ways of making sure quality of life does not dip beyond an acceptable level. Many cities, however, have very few options left to bridge the funding gaps created by the state's budget preblems. (ADD SPECIFIC EXAMPLES FROM YOUR CITY) All Minnesota residents and businesses should receive adequate levels of municipal services at relatively similar levels of taxation. The state has a crucial role in providing financial assistance to cities with high needs or low fiscal capacity. This role has diminished, though, as cuts to city aids and credit -584- reimbursements represented a disproportionate share of the state's most recent budget-balancing actions. Mirmesotans expect their state and local governments to work in proactive, efficient, and cooperative ways to meet community needs. State and local leaders must commit to talking to, listening to, and respecting each other. We need to start viewing each other as partners, rather than as adversaries or interest groups. What is the report all about? · Cities are asking for a state-local partnership based on five basic principles: certainty, flexibility, accountability, adequacy, and equity. Accountability - State and local governments should work together to clarify their roles and responsibilities in providing, regulating, and paying for public services. Cities and the state must also exercise sound financial stewardship and be accountable for the efficient and effective management of tax dollars. Flexibility - Prudent financial stewardship, efficiency, and innovation are best fostered when the state pulis back on preemptions and mandates, and allows local governments greater flexibility and control related to local revenue and spending decisions. Certainty - For cities to be responsible stewards and innovative managers, they need greater certainty in the level of state funding received from year-to-year and throughout each year. Equity - Minnesotans have a vested interest in ensuring that every city can provide the basic levels of service residents and businesses rely on, and all citizens should receive these levels of services at relatively similar levels of taxation. Achieving equity of this nature requires financial assistance to cities that have high needs or low fiscal capacity. Adequacy - If state lawmakers truly see pubhc safety, economic development, good roads, and strong neighborhoods as priorities, state revenue sharing with the local governments that have major responsibilities in these areas must be viewed as a priority. · The report is about more than funding for cities - it's about cities having the flexibility and resources to ensure good quality of life for all Minnesotans. Note to city officials: The complete Task Force report outlines specific recommendations for actions the state should take to improve the state-local fiscal partnership.

Full report available on the LMC web site at: www. lmnc. org ACCOUNTABILITY · CERTAINTY · ADEOUACY · FLEXIBILITY. EQUITY -586- Since the inception of the Minnesota Miracle in the early 1970s, the local govern- ment finance system has been based on the belief that, except for the property tax, cities should have limited taxing authority, In return, state collected sales and income taxes have been distributed to cities generally based on need and their property tax capacity relative to other cities. The main goal of the Minnesota Miracle has been ensuring that Minnesotans receive adequate public services without paying inordinately different taxes, regardless of where they live. At the conclusion of the 2004 legislative session, the LMC Board of Directors formed the Financing Local Government Task Force to review the state-local fiscal partnership. The Task Force concluded that the current system is not serving Minnesotans well or ensuring the state's competitiveness in an increasingly global economy. The Task Force made a number of recommendations with the intent of starting an ongoing dialogue about the state-local partnership. These recommendations are designed to serve as a roadmap to guide state policymakers and city officials in working together to reform the system over the next several years. These recommendations are organized according to the Task Force's guiding principles for a viable state- city partnership: · ACCOUNTABILITY · CERTAINTY · ADEQUACY · FLEXIBILITY · EQUITY Some are closely Jntegrated--a policy goal may be realized by more than one recommendation. Some options may bring about improvements for certain cities but create challenges for others. While some recommendations lend themselves to short-term implementation, .others may require more in-depth planning and represent longer-run options. Recommendations ACCOUNTABILITY Cities believe that a viable partnership with the state requires cities and the state to communicate effectively with each other and with the public about their roles and responsibilities. Oties and the state must also exercise sound financial stewardship, including maximizing efficiencies in service delivery and other means of cost containment whenever possible. Elected officials must stand accountable for the decisions they make on behalf of citizens. Public agencies must be accountable to elected officials and the public. Less obviously, governments must be accountable to each other. When the state and federal governments impose mandates, the lines of accountability are blurred. Cities are careful stewards of public resources. Minnesotans paid 15.6 percent of their personal income for state and local government in 2004, down from 17.4 percent in 1990. The city share fell from 3.5 percent to 3.1 percent over that time. TheTask Force agrees that state and local governments should work together to clarify their roles and responsibilities in providing, regulating, and paying for public services. It recommends the following: · Transform market value homestead credit reimbursement into a direct credit to individuals. The ma rket value homestead credit (MVHC) reimbursement structure undermines accountability by enabling the state to reduce or even eliminate the reimbursement to local governments, while preserving the credit to the homeowner. The structure adds unnecessary confusion, since cities whose reimbursements were cut in 2003 and 2004 were forced to certify property tax levies that were higher than what they actually received. · Create an advisory commission on intergovernmental relations. A commission would provide an opportunity for legislators and administration officials to meet with their local partners to find the most effective and efficient ways to meet the needs of Minnesota residents and businesses. Participants would cooperatively and proactively address emerging issues, share creative solutions to public issues, and examine the long-term, broad cumulative impacts of policies. FINANCING LOCAL GOVERNMENT TASK FORCE REPORT-- JANUARY 2005 - 587- ,~, Remove e~i~ting barriers to effectiveness. Tl~e state. should remove existing barriers to cities exploring opportunities for collaboration, sharing innovative practices, and applying new technologies. The state should allow local officials to implement smart ideas, such as posting notices on city web sites in lieu of publication and using design/build contracts. · £mpowerlocaldecision-makingonlocalbudgets. Artificial caps should be rejected. The state should authorize local officials to determine what revenues are necessary to provide the services demanded by citizens and businesses. CERTAINTY Cities need to have more certainty and predictability in all of their available revenue sources, including the property tax and the amount of funding they receive from local government aid (LGA) and similar programs. The current practice of almost annual adjustments to LGA and similar programs and the imposition of levy fimits do not allow for prudent financial planning and decisions. The city budgeting process presents many challenges. Decision-makers strive to make wise spending choices, using resources efficiently and meeting service demands. When revenues upon which cities depend to deliver services are uncertain, budgeting becomes even more complicated. Periodic uncertainty in some budget years may encourage careful identification of spending priorities and exploration of new efficiencies. Significant, ongoing uncertainty about revenues, however, hampers cities' ability to effectively provide services to citizens. In order to increase the certainty of revenues on which the state and cities rely, the Task Force recommends that the state: · Reform the state taxstructure to increase stability of revenues. The state should re-examine its revenue system and consider policy changes, such as reducing reliance on the corporate income and capital gains taxes, and broadening the sales tax base to include mofe goods and services. · I~enewthestate-localpartnership. The state should be a more reliable partner in providing public services and infrastructure. The ann ual uncertainty surrounding aid payments from the state should be remedied to enable cities to provide the critical services upon which citizens and businesses rely. ADEQUACY The revenue sources available to cities and the state must raise adequate funds to meet city needs, to fund mandates, and to maintain Minnesota's long-term competitiveness. To enable effective public services and a high quality of life, state and local governments need adequate revenues. Governments must carefully prioritize spending and work to maximize the effectiveness with which they Spend public dollars. In tough times, less critical services must be curtailed. But when a lack of revenue results in basic services being cut, vital infrastructure improvements being delayed, and the state's long-term competitiveness being compromised, we must consider a different path. The Task Force believes that the state should adequately fund its commitments to the public services upon which Minnesotans depend and recommends the following: · Fullyfund local government aid (L6,~). LGA is the critical program that ensures all Minnesota communities can provide the services and infrastructure necessary to achieve economic prosperity. The program's funding was disproportionately cut in 2003, leaving property-poor and high-need communities struggling to provide necessary services. · Implement a metro-area sales taxto fund transportation and transit. This would provide a critical, reliable, additional revenue source that would be more like the national norm of paying for regional transit through a regional tax source. · Increase state revenues. The state should increase general revenues, while being mindful of impacts on our most vulnerable citizens, to preserve and enhance the services upon which our future depends. Further cuts to aids for cities to fund education or other needs are unacceptable. RENEW THE PARTNERSHIP: A PRINCIPLED APPROACH TO FINANCING CITY GOVERNMENT -588- FLEXIBILITY As cities have become increasingly diverse in their characteristics, a "one-size-fits-all" systern that limits all titles to the property tax as the major, non-state aid revenue source is increasingly unworkable. Some titles have sufficient property tax base to sustain an adequate service level but many do not. Cities should have greater access to other tax and revenue sources than currently permitted. Cities face a wide range of unique circumstances involving their tax base, the mix of revenues on which they depend, where users of their services come from, and their population makeup. Cities also vary in which services they are responsible for financing and delivering. We believe that a full toolkit of revenue options is important so that city officials can best link users of a service with those who pay for it, provide an adequate amount of basic services despite cities'varying ability to pay, and work to ensure stability of city revenues during economic downturns by relying on several sources of funding. in order to enhance the flexibility of cities in funding services, the Task Force recommends the state: · Support revenue diversification. The state should recognize the diverse circumstances facing cities, and allow them to choose from a wider variety of tools to finance city services and infrastructure. These would include a local sales tax for capital projects; street and other utilities; impact fees; and mechanisms to capture revenues from all users. · Enhancelocalrevenueandspendingaatonomy. The state should not impose artificial caps on cities, but should increase the autonomy given to city officials to make revenue-raising decisions. Cities should have authority to make spending decisions that best meet the needs of their communities. EQUITY All citizens should receive adequate levels of municipal services at relatively similar levels of taxation. This means the state should provide finandal assistance to cities that have high needs, Iow fiscal cclpadty, or both, Of the principles discussed in the report, equity may be the hardest to measure and the most subjective--what appears equitable to one person may seem patently unfair to another. Historically, some of the thorniest issues regarding our state- local finance system revolve around differing interpretations of equity. The Minnesota Miracle reforms addressed equity issues by creating a system of centralized revenue collection and decentralized service delivery. At that time, the state initiated its first sales tax to fund a complex new system of inter- governmental aids, including LGA. The Legislature must conti'nually monitor the system · for tax burden equity, considering both ability to pay and to whom the benefits accrue. TheTask Force recommends that the state do the following in order to enhance the equity of our state-local finance system: · Mitigate excessive property tax burdens. The state should fully fund the LGA program. The state should target more property tax relief to individuals through the circuit breaker and related programs when taxes increase rapidly or when burdens are excessive relative to income. In addition, the state should provide adequate tax relief to all types of property in Iow property- wealth and high-need communities. · Connectthecostsandbenetitsforservices. The state should provide cities with tools that align service costs with service beneficiaries. For example, a local sales tax may be a useful tool for a regional center to capture revenues from commuters, tourists, and tax-exempt property that place a burden on its infrastructure. When charging users is not feasible or appropriate, the state should adequately compensate communities for overburden through LGA or other mechanisms.

The president's recommendations strength could work against our eligibility for include significant cuts in discretionary, the new SACI funds. domestic spending with the stated goal of cutting the deficit in half by 2009. Overall, According to the National League of Cities, the President's FY 2006 budget proposal the President's proposed budget for funding recommends a five percent increase in of first responders programs under the defense spending, a three percent increase in Department of Homeland Security is almost non-defense homeland security spending, and identical to the 2005 level.

According to the National League of Cities, it is unclear whether multi-year grants that are currently in their second or third year would be cancelled under the budget proposal. The President's budget also recommends budget reductions for several programs within the purview of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency including the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSR_F) which has proposed reductions of $274 million to $730 million. The proposed budget would also eliminate funding for Water Quality Cooperative Agreements and wastewater operator training programs, resulting in federal budget savings of $22 million. Beyond the upcoming federal fiscal year, the proposed budget would place mandatory spending caps on domestic discretionary spending, freezing programs through 2010 in order to reduce the federal deficit. We will continue to evaluate the President's budget proposal as details are unveiled. Street utility bill laid over in House committee Despite strong testimony by several city officials that street utility authority would provide a fair and much-needed tool for street preservation funding, HF 313/HF 495--the bill to enable cities to impose the fees--was laid over. The bill was heard Wednesday in a joint meeting of the House Transportation Finance Committee and House Transportation Policy Febmaryll, 2005 Page 2 Committee. The bill drew harsh criticism from lobbyists representing the following groups: MN Association of Realtors MN Auto Dealers Association MN Grocers Association MN Multi-Housing Association MN Trucking Association MN Retailers Association The groups charged that cities would use the fees to unfairly "tax" businesses. They also argued that property taxes should sufficiently cover the cost of street maintenance and reconstruchon. When it became clear that the issue was contentious, Rep. Mary-Liz Holberg (R- Lakeville), the chair of the House Transportation Finance Committee, laid the bill over for further consideration. It's not dear whether HF 313/HF 495 will appear on a future agenda in the committee. The hearing did bring to light some important points about the need for local street funding. The discussion may have also marked the beginning of an emotional debate that will take place during the 2005 legislative session about the ability of cites to provide essential public services while enduring ongoing budget constraints. The League is in the process of trying to schedule a hearing for the bill' s companion, SF 366 (Marko, DFL-Cottage Grove), in the Senate. Members who support the proposal are urged to continue to pressure legislators in both bodies to back the initiative.

Impaired waters bills introduced Senator Frederiekson (R-New Ulm) and Rep. Ozment (R-Rosemount) introduced a bill, SF 762/HF 826, to generate a statewide pool of new revenue to help cities meet new environmental requirements was introduced by a large bi-partisan group of legislators fi-om the House and Senate this week. The federal Clean Water Act requires that all surface waters in the state be assessed to determine whether they are "impaired", which in most cases would mean that they are somehow polluted to the point that fishing and swimming are not safe. This bill funds the scientific work necessary to determine which waters actually need further protection and where the impacts are coming from that are contributing to the problem. Cities will be required to collect appropriate fees as a state surcharge on residential, commercial, and industrial sewer bills. Counhes will be doing the smue for properties served by septic systems, most likely as a special assessment on line 14 of the property tax statement. Up to 5% of the fees collected can be kept to cover administrative expenses. Over 80% of the funds collected would go out to restoration and protection efforts, such as $15 million per year in grants to cities who are or have been required to add phosphorus treatment to their wastewater systems and over $40 million per year of additional low-interest loans available annually through the State Revolving Fund for wastewater, drinking water, and stormwater infrastructure. February 11, 2005 Page 3 The Senate will begin hearings on this bill in late February. The bills have strong leadership support, with the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader as co- authors. The Governor has been publicly supportive of the legislation and has said that he will sign such a measure if it reaches his desk. The LMC Bulletin will have more extensive information on this bill in the near future and the issue will be highlighted at the State of the Cities conference at the end of March. Bills introduced to provide local control of employee compensation Rep. Ron Erhardt (R-Edina) and Sen. Steve Kelley (DFL-Hopkins) are the chief sponsors of legislation that would give cities and counties control over local compensation decisions. The bill repeals the statute that limits local government compensation to 95 percent of the Governor's salary. It also eliminates the related cap on salary that is counted for pension purposes. This legislation will be introduced in the House and Senate next week. On Thursday, the Senate members of the Legislative Coordinating Commission's (LCC) Subcommittee on Employee Relations introduced another bill that would give cities and counties more flexibility to determine compensation for their employees. This bill, HF 857, would increase the compensation limit for local government employees to 125 percent of the Governor' s salary. It also would require local governments requesting a waiver from the For more information on city legislatiw i~sues, contact any member of the League o£Mirmesota Cities hte~ovemmerlal Relations team. 651.281.1200 or 800.925.1122 -600- ?~ 11 ~B05 16:3B:15 V~ ?ox -> g5247ZBGZO ~m~ra~r Pa§e BB4 0£ 004 -FridayFax- 21.~_addy_>slat~w updat~afrom~theZ~ague,f_M~nn~sota~,ities limit to submit requests simultaneously to the commissioner of employee relations and the LCC.

If you have questions about either of these bills, please contact Laura Offerdahl, LMC at (651 ) 281-1260 or Preempting local control on door-to- door merchants A bill, HF 800, that would preempt cities ability to regulate door-to-door sales people and peddlers has been introduced on the House side by Rep. Mike Nelson (DFL- Brooklyn Park). Under the proposal, traveling sales people would register with the state and pay a one-time fee, instead of the current law, which requires them to register with the city. The idea is to create a statewide database that cities could access to find out more about any given peddler. Proponents of the bill feel a statewide system would save both the sales people and city staff time and money. Opponents of the bill have stated they like knowing who is in their city doing business in the neighborhood. One problem with current law is that a great number of these sales people supposedly never register with the city. Another is that in the metro area, they do not always know when they have crossed a city boundary. The bill can be found online at: www.house.leg.state.mn.us.

Ifa sufficient number of petition postcards are returned, a local unit of government would have to hold an election to approve the levy increase. Earlier this month, the governor's tax recommendations were introduced by Sen. Julianne Ortman (R-Chanhassen) and Rep. Phil Krinkie (R-Shoreview). Those bills, SF 753 and HF 660, appear to contain all of the governor's tax recommendations with one notable exception--there is no language related to the turbo-charged truth-in-taxation process. Although the details of the governor's TNT proposal have not yet been released as a bill draft, we have recently heard rumors that the proposal will be narrowed to cover only cities and counties. We have also heard that the petition might apply to virtually any levy increase but would likely exclude levy increases to cover debt service costs. The TNT proposal will most likely be introduced as a separate bill in the near future. The next significant date in the legislative process will occur on Monday, February 28 when the Department of Finance releases the semi-annual state budget forecast. With the release of the February forecast, the legislature will earnestly begin the process of crafting the state's biennial budget. The last official forecast, which was released last November, indicated that the state would face at least a $700 million deficit during the upcoming 2006-2007 biennium. With inflation factors added, the Deparanent of Finance suggested that the deficit could approach $1.4 billion. The 2006-2007 biennium begins on July 1, 2005. Recent tax collection information has been somewhat optimistic. In January, the Department of Finance reported that actual tax collections for the months of November and December were 2.5 percent or $66.1 million more than forecast. The variance was largely due to higher than expected corporate income tax receipts, which accounted for more than two-thirds of the increased collections. State tax receipts from the individual income tax and the sales mx, which account for about 75 percent of state revenue, were only $7 million, or 0.3 percent, above forecast. State economist Tom Stinson always warns legislators not to draw long-term conclusions fi-om short-term variations in state tax collections. We will cover the details of the forecast release in the Citiaa Bullet~n.

The discussion began with a presentation by the House Research Deparmaent that provided committee members with an overview of the MVHC including a brief history of dae program. The presentation also included a discussion of the effect of the governor's proposal on the property, tax levy of an affected city. Under the governor's proposal, the MVHC cuts that were originally imposed in 2003 would be extended for 2005 and 2006. According to the Department of Revenue, there are 103 cities that would have their MVHC reimbursement reduced or eliminated. Rep. Ann Lenczewsi (DFL-Bloomington) voiced her frustration, not as much about the proposed cuts but about the manner in which MVHC cuts are implemented. When the MVHC is cut as proposed by the governor, Representative Lenczewski argued that the state is not being truthful with taxpayers because the city, not the taxpayer, is affected. The MVHC credit continues to show on the taxpayer' s notice, but the state reduces or eliminates the reimbursement paid to the city. In this manner, the MVHC reimbursement reduction translates into a direct reduction in the city' s certified property tax levy. Several committee members indicated that the cuts were a balance to the permanent reductions in LGA enacted in 2003. The committee did not take any action on the governor's proposal. February lb, 2005 Page 2 Bonding bffion its way to the House floor On Wednesday, the House Capital Inveslrnent Committee approved a bonding package totaling $816.8 million. The House Ways and Means Committee approved the bill late Thursday, and the full House is expected to hear the proposal on the House floor sometime next week, possibly Tuesday. The House bill, HF 3, is sponsored by Rep. Dan Dorman (R-Albert Lea). The bill includes $780.3 million in general obligation bonding and $36.5 million in user financed bonds. I-IF 3 spends $759,000 more than recommended by Governor Pawlenty in his capital budget, but $221 million less than the Senate's bonding package. Sen. Keith Langseth (DFL-Glyndon) is the chief author of the Senate bill, SF 1, which includes nearly $1.04 million for capital projects. That bill passed the full Senate on January 24th.

The Senate bill, SF 318, authored by Sen. Larry Pogemiller (DFL- Minneapolis), was considered in several hearings earlier this month but the committee never voted on the bill. The House companion bill, I-IF 785, introduced by Rep. Phil Krinkie (R-Shoreview), has not yet been scheduled for a hearing. Although no votes have been taken, we remain concerned that the proposal could gain momentum as the session progresses. As a result, the League has been working with a group of local government stakeholder organizations in order to prevent the property tax freeze proposal from gaining traction. The group includes representatives of cities, counties, school districts and townships. In conjunction with that group's efforts, Plymouth Mayor and League of Minnesota Cities President Judy Johnson, St. Cloud Mayor and Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities President Jolm Ellenbecker along with Dakota County Commissioner and Metropolitan Inter-County Association (MICA) Board Member Joe Harris and Rocori School District Board member and President of Schools for Equity in Education (SEE) Lyrm Schurman met with Sen. Majority Leader Dean Johnson (DFL-Willmar) and later with Sen. Larry, Pogemiller to discuss the implications of the proposed property tax freeze legislation introduced by Sen. Pogemiller. The Senate meetings provided an opportunity for local officials to air their concerns about the potential impacts of a property tax freeze on local services and local control. The local elected officials each urged the senators to reject the property tax freeze proposal and allow locally- elected city, county and school officials to February, 25, 2005 Page 1 address local tax and spending priorities. Sen. Pogemiller stressed his intent of highlighting the recent trend in state policy to shif~ more local govermuent funding to the local property tax and his desire to discuss this trend in the legislative arena. From the conversation with Sen. Pogemiller, it is clear that the property, tax freeze is far from dead for the session. The same group of local officials are scheduling meetings with House leadership to discuss the problems with a prope~y tax freeze. These meetings will be conducted in the next several weeks. We will report on those meetings in an upcoming edition of the FridayFax. Questions?

Mark Buesgens (R-Jordan) introduced a bill last week that would transfer noncurricular youth athletic and fine arts activities from school districts to local govermuents. The bill, I-IF 1090, would prohibit school boards from authorizing "noncurricular" activities and from spending any general fund revenue on these activities. Instead, local governments would be authorized to provide athletic and frae arts activities for high school age residents and to levy a tax to pay for these services. The bill would also modify the structure and authority of the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL).

The bill requires the MSHSL, the League of Minnesota Cities and the Minnesota Association of Townships to develop a process for resolving the details involving the structure of interregional conferences, the formation of joint powers agreements, and the transfer of personal property between school districts and local governments for the purpose of providing these activities. This proposal marks a major shift in the delivery of youth sports and arts activities. Rep. Buesgens is advancing this reform to enable school districts to focus their resources on academics. A hearing on this bill is scheduled for next Thursday, March 3rd at 8:15 a.m. in the House Education Policy and Reform Committee, chaired by Rep. Buesgens.

SF 1131 (Ourada, R-Buffalo) would prohibit a city from opening any new stores after June 30, 2005. The bill would apply to cities currently operating stores, as well as those not currently operating a store. HF 1158 (Buesgens, R-Jordon) goes a step further by requiring cities with municipal stores to sell offtheir store by 1/1/06. The bill repeals February 25, 2005 Page 2 340A. 601-604, the statutes dealing with municipal liquor stores. Neither of these bills has a companion at this point. There was similar legislation discussed in 2003 that would have required cities to divest of ANY enterprise type activities. The hearing occurred in the House Local Government Committee where it was laid over and never acted upon. However, out of those discussions the state auditor did take up a study of city emerprise operations which was completed for the 2004 session. Questions?

The letter, dated February 24, 2005, reiterates the auditor's well-known position that the practice is not permissible, and calls for efforts "...to resolve this growing legal non-compliance issue." The document provides the following policy options the state could implement to discourage cities from using administrative fmcs for traffic violations: · Amend the law so local units of govenunent using administrative traffic tickets forfeit their fmc, penalty and fee splits from other prosecutions of statutes or ordinances; * Deny public safety grants to local units of government using local traffic tickets; For more information on city legislative i~raes, contact asr7 membe~ of the Lea§~e of Mirmesota Cities Intexgovemment al Relatiom team. 651.281.1200 or 800.925.1122 -607- Feb Z5 Z005 18:Zl:fll Via Fax 95Z4?ZO6Zfl ~&ainistrator l:>agc 883 Of 805 -[ ~;'~ '~,'~,--~/ ............ ~l-w~akly-ieg~sIa~pdat~-from4h~ LeagueofM ~rmes ota G~t~es Seek mandamus or declaratory judgment actions to compel compliance with existing law; or Deny highway state-aid to local units of government using administrative traffic tickets. The letter takes specific aim at the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) policy language on the issue. Anderson states that she is "deeply concerned" about the League's position. Her letter characterizes the LMC's policy as follows: [D]uring the 2005 session, the LMC appears to be taking the position that the state needs to enact legislation prohibiting cities from using administrative fines for minor traffic offenses--and if such legislation is enacted, the State should share fine revenues with cities, according to the LMC. The LMC's current position ignores that the State has plainly pre-empted cities in the area of traffic enforcement, and encourages cities to adopt administrative traffic ticket procedures. Her criticism appears to be a reaction to a provision in the League's SD-24 (Administrative Fines) policy language that states: If state leaders enact legislation that prohibits cities from using administrative frees for minor traffic offenses, they should also change the distribution of statutory violation fine revenues so cities are adequately compensated for enforcement mad prosecution costs.

Questions.9 ContactAnna Finn at 651.281.1263 or afinn~lmnc, org Proposed cuts to challenge grant program will harm workforce housiqg development The Govemor's budget would cut the Economic Development and Housing Challenge Ftmd Program by 60 percent ($13 million). The program, which is widely used by cities, is administered by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA). The program provides funding for construction and rehabilitation of workforce housing and is often cited as one of the most important state housing programs to assist communities when local employers plan on increasing jobs, but there is a lack of available single-family and rental housing. In fact, the League has continued to urge cities to use caution in this gray legal area. The LMC has also refrained from initiating any legislation that would change the current law. The only bills that have been introduced on the topic in 2005 (I-IF 592: Samuelson, R-New Brighton and SF 1951: Koering, R-Fort Ripley) were introduced independently and would give cities explicit In the last round of state budget cuts, the Challenge program bore the brunt of reductions to the MHFA budget, when the program was cut by more than $4 million (18 percent) for the 2004-05 biennium.

Between 2000 and 2004, 40 percent of the $74.8 million expended through Challenge Fund programs on both single-family and multi-housing development went to build or rehab housing in Greater Minnesota. Approximately half as many workforce housing projects will be assisted in the next biennium - about 900 multi-family units alone. Statewide, the annual median household income of a family benefiting from the program is just under $30,000, less than 50 percent of median statewide income.
