M;. Reep has requested that the grading permit be extended from March 9, 1991 to March 9, 1992. I have reviewed this matter with John Cameron, City Engineer, and It is his opinion as well as mine, that we only grant a 6 month extension on the permit. This is primarily due to the fact that if the City does acquire the Anthony's property that this restriction would not affect our possible purchase, Otherwise, we see the request to be in order. If you have any questions, please contact me. cc: John Cameron, City Engineer Jon Sutherland, Building Official enc.

Triax Cablevision would like to provide you with information relative to the rearrangement of your community's cable television channel line -up and provide you with information relative to our new rates and charges which are scheduled to go into effect March 1, 1991. On January 10, 1991, the Trinity Sroadc45t Network irBN), previously cablecast on a time- shared basis on channel 45, was moved to cable channel 15 to provide 24 hour a day coverage. American Movie Classics (AMC) will remain on channel 45, and will also provide 24 hours a day of programming. Many subscribers have taken the time to telephone our office and express their satisfaction with these programmin4 changes. On March 1st, The Family Channel, which is located on channel 32, is now going to be cablecast on channel 16; and ESPN, the sports channel, will simultaneously be moved from channel 47 to channel 32. *, Channel 47 will become a channel reserved for future use. in addition, a second public access channel, channel 21, will be .activated to facilitate programs created through the local access studios serving the Triax metro communities. Triax Cablevision has made every effort to improve picture quality 40d enhance service while doing our best to contain operating "Ponses. Some costs however, such as program license fees, employee health insurance, postage costs, and gasoline prices are out of our control and we have experienced significant increases in each of these categories. Effective March 1, 1991, the monthly rate for basic cable service will be $13.99 and $20.99 for expanded basic service. The monthly rate for Showtime and Cinemax will be $10.95 and $7.:5 per month respectively, while HBO and The Disney Channel will remain unchanged at $10.95 and $4.95 per month. A single additional outlet will now cost $3.50; however, a subscriber may continue to have up to four additional outlets at the present rate of $4.95 per month. January 28, 1991 Page 2 Subscribers will continue to receive a package discount when sub- scribing to HBO and Cinemax at $16.90 per month ($2.00 savings), and HBO /Cinemax /Disney at $20.85 per month ($3.00 savings). These packages make our movie services even more affordable and since movie tickets for a family of four cost nearly $18.00 for just one movie, the entertainment available on.the movie services from Triax remain a great bargain. A news bulletin describing the above changes is being sent to all the subscribers via the regular monthly statement on February 1, 1991, which will serve is advance notification prior to the scheduled changes which will occur on March 1, 1991. In anticipation of discuss- ing these matters with our subscribers, our Customer Service Represen- tatives have been thoroughly briefed regarding these issues and will provide the customer with any information they need or request relative to the changes we are making to their service. We will also provide informative messages on our cable channel 19 to further keep customers advised of the changes we make throughout the months of February and March. • CONTINUING OUR CONKITMENT TO YOU In the past decade, the cable television industry has doubled its commitment to quality television reception and has spent more than $2 billion over the course of the last year purchasing equipment, improving distribution lines while replacing deteriorating cable, and producing programming that fits the diverse viewing preferences of the many families who subscribe to cable television. 1991 will be no exception, and Triax Cablevision is proud to bring its customers this ever- improving variety, choice, quality, and diversity of service. The enclosed news bulletin being sent to all subscribers highlights these changes.

REPORT PARK DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL ROSTER The Park Department has only one full -time employee, the Park Director. The rest of the staff is made up of seasonal employees. During the busy spring, summer, and early fall, there areas many as ten full -time seasonal employees, between eight and ten part -time seasonal recreational program leaders, twenty - one lifeguards, and one contracted cleaning service. 1990 Current Employees Date Hired Park Director Jim Fackler July 1, 1985 Park Maintenance Bob Johnson May 1, 1982 John Taffe May 12, 1983 Commons Maintenance Kent Kirsh June 1, 1989 Mowing Crew Hai Proft June 1, 1990 is Tree Trust (2) none in 1990 Every June Dock Inspector Dell Rudolph May 1, 1983 Summer Recreation Grant Bergstrom April, 1989 Cemetery Maintenance Phil Haugen May, 1990 Janitorial Service JbS Clean Co.

We began a Park Playground Equipment Replacement Program in 1987 that removed old equipment and replaced them with multiple use struc- tures including swings, slides, and climbing features surrounded by a sand berm. Currently, the City is in its fifth year of the five year Park Playground Equipment Replacement Program. There has not been $23,000 allotted in the 1991 budget for purchase of park Improve- ments such as the play structure at Mound Bay Park or the re- placement of the deck on the Depot building. The intention of the Park Commission is to begin improvements at the neighborhood parks currently being used for the summer playground program and then expand to the other neighborhood parks on a need basis. In 1990 one park saw the installation of a new structure, Chester Park. 1992 site locations for site improvements are to be deter- mined. Along with development, maintenance for the parks must be Planned. Maintenance and upkeep of the parks is a major In- gredient for their success. Regular mowing, leaf removal, litter pick up and periodic repairs are unavoidable aspects of these parks and generally take up the most man hours over the year. These improvements and maintenance will provide a visual commit- ment that the City of Mound has a dedication towards community development. Having moved into our own maintenance facility (the old Public Works building) has allowed the Park Department to consolidate all of its equipment, parts, vehicles and supplies at one site. This allows for great savings on time spent Cunning between sites In search of needed items. Even though this is a great improve- ment, the building itself needs some attention. Because the Park Department's needs are less than that of the Public Works department's, the improvements recommended in the 1987 engineer- ing report for remodeling /repairing the t ilding for Public Works will be substantially less. 1990 saw the replacement of the roof on the garage as the first year improvement for a three year plan. To follow in 1991 will be garage door replacement, electrical up -date and painting of the exterior of the building. SUM MER RECREATIO P In the past, the City of Mound has program that lasts six weeks, from July. A program supervisor oversees parks; Belmont, Swenson, Philbrook, where there is a Park Leader and an • sponsored a summer recreation mid -June through the end of a schedule of events at five Highland, and Three Points, assistant to carry out the 201 1990 Annual Report p age 3 Park Department daily program. The 1990 program sxpanded its arts and crafts, games, and special events for a broader age of children, and saw other parks receiving visits from the recreation staff t-3 provide an opportunity for them to get involved in the program. The Perk Commission expanded the recreation program for the sum- mer of 1990. This was accomplished by co- sponsoring a program with Westonka Community Services. The basic concept is a program, still offered in the neighborhood park, but utilizing the Community Services special facilities, such as the indoor pool or gym, and co- offering events or field trips. This type of approach will offer a great deal of flexibility to a wide variety of age groups. The programming will represent their special interests and allow for expansion over the years.

There are three divisions, A and B are the old sections to the west and thl new section C, to the east. Currently, the grounds are maintained by a seasonal employee. He supplies his own equipment and is paid for time and machinery. The Park Crew helps when requested for projects that are larger In nature than the daily upkeep. The fertilization and weed con- trol is done though a contract with ProLawns Inc. In 1990 a survey was done to compare the current fees for plots at the Mound Cemetery with other municipal and private cemeteries. The last fee change was done in 1989. The current fees are listed below: Adult, resident $200 Adult, nonresident 400 Baby, resident 100 Baby, nonresident 150 Ash Burial " No additional charge if plot is purchased as a single burial, $25 charge if ash burial is placed on top of a casket burial. A "resident" for the plot fee is defined as, "An individual to be Interred is a current resident of the City of Mound at the time of his /her death, or at the time of purchasing his /her grave site." The operation of the cemetery is at a break even with income from the sale of plots. The current level of maintenance at the cemetery needs to be upgraded to aid in providing a more attrac- tive setting. This could be done through irrigation, and fenc- ing. New signs were installed denoting the name and regulations. HAZARDOUS TREE R EMOVA L As of December 31, 1990, the yearly total of hazardous tree removals from City property were 45 trees removed, 19 stumps chipped, and a number of limbs trimmed that posed a hazard. From private property under forced removal, three were taken. On an C7 A0,3 1990 Annual Report Page 5 Park Department average, a tree is costing the City more to remove it in 1990 than in 1989. This is due to the high cost of disposal of the trees and higher charge for contractors for insurance that is forwarded onto the customer. Overall, in the budget for tree removal, there has been a reduction -in the amount spent in 1990. T h i s Is due to the dutch elm remova i program being around for a number of years and the tree count down. But, with the drought that has been evident the past summers, other trees such as maples and oaks will die. Diseased and hazardous trees are removed on a complaint basis. When a complaint is received an inspection of the tree is done to determine the need of removal and the ownership. City owned trees are removed by a contractor as soon as possible, while private trees are removed in accordance with City Ordinances. Private trees not removed in the grace period allowed, are forced removed. The cost of a forced removed tree is billed to the property owner. If this bill is not paid, it is then attached to their property taxes. COMMONS DOCK'S The Commons Dock system is made up of approximately 4.5 miles of Lakeshore, providing 443 dock sites. The Dock Inspector works under the direction of the Park Director. His mmin duties are the processing of dock applications, inspections of the dock sites, notification of the discrepancies to permit holders, and an informational source for the general public and City. 1990 was the fourth year that the Commons Dock Program had been as- signed its own financial division. This allowed a concise look at the cost of the commons program and aided in setting a rate adjustment schedule to bring it to a self supporting position. In 1990, the largest line item in the commons budget was for capital improvements. These improvements consisted of $6,000 for riprapping, $41,000 towards dredging of Waterside, Ridgewood, and Carlson dock areas. The Riprapping was completed with the City crew doing the work, riprapping is part of the requirement to repair shoreline after a dredge. The entire commons has been inspected to determine a priority for riprap and dredge work. This is done twice a year, in the spring and fall. S?oY : 1990 Annual Report ps, Park Department .�., A In 1990 we supervised dredges at Ridgewood Park, Carlson Park, and Waterside Commons. The necessary permits were obtained for these projects, and the contractor completed the work February of 1990. We had to eliminate Emerald due to the bid exceeding the budget, but currently hold permits to do the area. CITY BEACHES The beaches are operated under a contract with Westonka Community Services. The costs for 1990 and the 1991 estimates are as follows: CITY BEACHES LABOR Budgeter!,. � 1990 Headguards $ 4,715 f 4, Mound Bay Park Beach 4,185 4.352 � Five Smal Beaches;,`` 3,836 3,989 IN- SERVICE 1,012 I9052 MILEAGE 231 239 ' b SUPERVISION 1 1,564 EQUIPMENT 100 !10 Subtotal $15,580 $16,096 .'

That means we have to have a very versatile crew to handle the different projects. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our personnel. NAME TITLE STARTING, DATE YEARS Eugene Hoff Superintendent 1 -1 -60 31 Gerald Henke Equip. Operator 7 -5 -65 26 Dick Johnson Tquip. Operator 4 -25 -72 19 Don Heitz Ecy, Operator 5--1 -73 18 Tim Johnson Equip. Operator 4 -17 -83 8 Greg Bergquist Mechanic 9 -9 -85 6 As you can see from 0L,1r starting dates we have some experience. these employees know their jobs and they're good X13 at it. If there is any doubt think about how many complaints You get on Street Maintenance (very low). The Street Maintenance Supervision is handled most by myself with help from fellow employees in the Public Works. I take most of the complaints and questions and try to solve them one way or another. Some of my other duties include reports (monthly and annual), budget preparations, supervising Personnel, evaluation report, emergency call out, construction meeting, monthly meeting, project inspections, purchasing of road material and etc. It's also my job to decide when, where and how the work will be done. Here is a list of some of the duties of the department for the repair and maintenance of 50 miles of streets, 12 parking lots and 26 cul -de -sacs. Plowing and sanding sweeping clearing street right - of way of brush and trees bituminous street patching Preparing streets for sealcoating transporting street materials street sign repairing and installation of new ones GENERAL Curb & sidewalk street lights retaining walls guardrails maintenance of equip. cemetery work repair & maint. of storm sewer system Christmas decoration Let me go through the schedule of the Street Department for 1 year just touching on the main duties starting with Winter. SNOW & ICE CONTROL_ It's my job to determine when the snow equipment is called out. I depend on the National Weather Service for information concerning any weather systems moving is our direction, also the Police Dept. Most of the time I'm out and about to determine what has to be done. When it's icy we sand as soon as Possiblc but when it snows we like to wait until it's over, if we can, because of a 8 to 9 hour plowing cycle. After that long a time behind the wheel you're tired and we don't have any backups. We have a 7 man crew for snowplowing, 5 from the Street Department including myself, 0 the City mechanic and Greg Skinner, Water & Sewer Supt.. The OR)y equipment used is 5 - 2 112 ton dump trucks equipped with Plow, wing and sanders, 2 - 4X4 pickup trucks equipped with 8' plows. After the streets have been cleared and in good driving condition we have 11 miles of sidewalks to plow and haul the snow away. We use the blower and 3 trucks for the job, so as you can see when we get snow we are very busy. We're doing something a little different this year as far as cleaning sidewalks, we use to wait until we were done plowing and sanding streets before we could start cleaning sidewalks. This year we are getting help from the Sewer and Water Dept. at night or early morning before they go on there normal work schedule. They will use the bobcat to make a path so people can get, around and after we're done with the streets we'll go back and do a better job of cleaning. We have one other thing that we changed, Jim Fackler, Parks Director, takes care of the plowing at City Nall, Fire Station, Depot parking lot and the 2 sidewalks on Maywood and Cypress. This helps us shorten our plowing time. SPRING WORK The early part of Spring is when we do our street right -of- way work, that means we cut brush and trim trees that are hanginv in the street. The Spring clean -up is a big job, 2 street sweepers, 1 sidewalk broom, 2 trucks and 1 tanker. We sweep everything in town, 50 miles of streets, 12 parking lots, 11 miles of sidewalks and 26 cul -de -sacs. You're looking at 3 to 4 weeks of work. This year in 90 we picked up 248 dump truck loads. From our Spring clean -up work we move into our street patching. Our general street maintenance work isn't bad, we don't have a lot of potholes and cracks to repair. What takes the time and money is to repair tf watermain breaks and frostboils. The main breaks have to be cut square, compacted and repaved. In 1990 we had 13 breaks, ranc;ing in size from 30' X 26' down to 8' X 8' and after these were repaired we had 2 frostboils to dig up, this is even more costly. A frostboil has to be subcut 3 to 4 feet deep and the soil hauled away and replaced with Class 5 road material and repaved. STORM SEWER SYSTEM We have a very large storm sewer system to maintain. I don't know how many miles of pipe we have. I know we have 368 catchbasins and 80 sump catchbasins. The 368 catchbasins are cleaned after Avery heavy rain and the sumps are cleaned in the Fall. • C Al so The City crew maintains and repairs the catchbasins, but when it comes to repairing the pipe itself we have a contractor come in for the work. We don't have the equipment or manpower to handle it. Depending on the weather, late Fall we use the vac- -all and sweepers to start to pickup leaves, we never get the job done, there just isn't enough time before freeze -up. After freeze -up we move into our material hauling, salt & sand, rock, winter mix, sandfill, buckshot and Class 5. From this point we move back into the snow season. 1990 STREET PROJECTS WALL WORK We had Bjork Country Stone do some repairing and replacing of retaining walls. He replaced 7 small walls at the cost of $4,496.00. We had 2 big replacement jobs, one on Hanover which cost $9,864.00 which has been completed and another at Lynwood and Apple.that is about three quarters completed when we ran out of money, we have spent $8,460.00 so far and need $4,000 more to complete the job. DENBIGH ROAD CONSTRUCTION We had a small street improvement job on Denbigh Rd. in the Fall of 89. We weren't satisfied with some of the work done by the bituminous contractor and also the cement contractor. The blacktop was laid in very cold and wet conditions and also varied in thickness. The cement contractor didn't follow specs. and forgot to add wire mesh to driveways. After many trips from John Cameron and myself to inspect the work, it was OK'ed for payment in July of 90, cost was $29,398.00 SEALC:OAT ING As you know we have a sealcoating project every year and we advertise for bids. This year we got a different contractor (Bituminous Roadways). There bid was $449.50 less than the contractor that has been doing our work for years. On about a $30,000 job, there are times when low bid is not the answer. It took them twice as long to do the work, we didn't get as good a job as we usually get, we also had the contractor come back 3 different times to c Pete the work. I figure it cost the City about $2,000 extra for the inspection and babysitting. The low bid was $?9,450.00, they shot 31,747 gallons of oil and laid 1,800 tons of buckshot. IZA STORM SEWER WORK 0 We had a number of frozen storm sewers this spring because of the type of winter we had. We would get a little snow then it would warm up and melt and run into the --atchbasins and storm lines then freeze. This would happen a few times and before you know it the line was froze shut_. We had a backhoe come in for a couple of .days to clean out ditches and scoop out the delta area of the storm sewer - lines. We were having some trouble with a storm drain on Beachwood for the last few years. The problem was when it was installed it was put in too low, in other works, the top of the pipe was lower than the lay of the land. Thus the sediment couldn't get out of the pipe and before long the line is plugged. To solve this problem we dug up 30' of 15" storm drain and hooked up a 16th bend and relayed the pipe. This brought the bottom of the pipe about 6" above the existing ground level, thus giving it plenty of room so the debris and sediment can clear the pipe. We worked with the Parks Department on 5 storm sewers that empty into Parks or swimming areas. We were having some problems with the water after it left the pipe, the water would fine its own course either left or right from the is designed spillway. To remedy this situation we got a backhoe and dug a new ditch straight to the lake, then rip - rapped it and poured concrete around the rock to prevent any more erosion, it also cleaned up the area and it looks a lot better. WATERMAIN BREAKS I have mentioned in the past that one of our more expensive jobs is the repair of curb, gutter and streets after watermain breaks. This year was no exception, we ended up with 13 breaks. We had 4 breaks on County Roads, 2 of them were very costly. The break on Commerce and Shoreline by Norwest back cost about $14,000 with out counting city labor. The one by Williams Store on Commerce ran about $9,000. The rest of the breaks were between $2,000 and $5,000. It takes us about 2 full weeks to repair the blacktop and concrete. SIGN DEPARTMENT We made new sign brackets for the street light poles on Commerce Blvd. We put up and took down banners for Mound City Days and Around Mound Run. We changed the No Parking 217 signs on Leslie Rd. from the south side to the north side (8 signs). We added supplemental signs to existing 46olations). ndicapped parking. They read (up to $200 fine for We had 15 of them to change. I put together a list of the signs and posts that were installed and repaired in 90. Radar patrolled 28 Stop 33 No Parking 25 street name signs 9 No Congregating or Cruising 6 - 4 ton per axle weight restriction Handicap parking 9 No Dumping 2 Dead End 3 Slow Children 4 Farmers Market 3 Police Parking Only 2 Staff 8 - 2 hour parking Straighted 35 posts, installed 85 complete tops and bottoms. $2,500 for stripping crosswalks and parking lots. BLACKTOP WORK We laid 275 tons of mix this year. The majority of it was used for handpatching, such as cracks, potholes, spillways, swales and overlaying. We didn't use as much material this year because we farmed out some of the watermain break repairs. CEMENT WORK We had quite a bit of cement work to do again this year, a lot of the curb and gutter damage was done when we were repairing water and sewer breaks. We had 3 driveway aprons that had to be replaced because of curb box problems. We also replaced 50' of sidewalk in different area around town. We're going to have sidewalk repairs each year because of frost heaves and the type of material the walk was laid on. Cost of cement work for 90 was $3,900.00. • #?/8 CEMETERY WORK We staked out 30 graves and 43 markers and pushed the cemetery dump 8 times, we also hauled in 15 loads of black dirt. PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY We've been in our public works building about 2 112 years, and 1 think its in better shape now than when we moved in. We are continually adding improvements and pulling maintenance. Some of the improvements that were made this Year are installation of a make -up air unit for the shop, cost $7,995.00, 3 new hanging furnaces for the old part of the garage (where the buses were parked;, cost $2,500.00, 7 industrial garage door openers with digital controls on the outside, cost $4,520.00. We built additional shelves in the mezzanine area and wired in new lights and receptacles. We sealcoated the parting lot and added a filtration fence to the top of our sandbin to stop the sand from blowing into our neighbors yard. We re')uilt the driveway so it would be the same ievel as the street. By the way, all the money needed for these improvements was covered by the budgets from the Street, Water and Sewer Dept. STREET BUDGET j The Street Department had a budget of $382,890.00 for 90, we came in at 99:. We had 4 capital outlay items in our 90 budget. Our capital outlay items were a chainsaw, bushwhacker, garage door opener, 1/4 hand tools, total cost was $2,730.00 tc � \ i t NW � ®R Ak A ' CITY of 1' IOUND qJ � d b 1991 Ilities for the City of Mound consists of 2 to.

In addition to my administration responsibilities. I also perform the same duties as the maintenance personal dr:r In the Water b Sewer Department. * ob Shanley works full time in maintenance. Bob has been , ith the City since 1967. Bob's job consists of daily well inspections, meter and outside reader installation, repairs and testing. In addition he handles service calls which SX 4O consists of turn -ons, turn -offs, final readings, valve maintenance and repair, watermain breaks and occasional snow Plowing. Pat Cheney works full time in maintenance and meter reading. Pat has been responsible for our meter ; service locations and working in the meter shop. He also does our Gopher One locations that totaled 588 for 1990. Pat has also helped out in snow plowing. We have trained him in the operation of our front-end loader, plow trucks and bobcat. Joyce Nelson is the Public Works Secretary and has been employed by the City since 1977. Joyce job is to keep the Dffice running smoothly and does an excellent .job. She handles phone calls, complaints, all record keeping (work orders, invoices. reports, inventory report, etc.) typing, she also runs the City's Recycling Program. ( :'1JBL1C UTILITIES The Public Utilities are operated as a business. Revenues are generated from the sale of water, meter sales and service charges. Salaries and benefits are paid out of the revenue we receive. The Utility Department works closely with the Building Inspector and the City Engineer on new construction, new development, utility upgrades or new installation. This includes site and plan review and inspections along with discussions with developers. There are 2 budget prepared for Public Utilities, 1 for Water and 1 for Sewer. The Water Department had a budget of approximately $350,000 for 1990. The Sewer Department had a budget of approximately $770,000 for 1990. The percent of increase from year to year is small in both budgets as far as day to day operations go. History has shown that Workman's , _ ompensation, General Liability Insurance and MWCC have been '_he big reason for budget increases. Budgets are prepared by -he Utility Superintend The budget then goes to the City Manager for review and 3Pprovsl. Each budget is then presented to the City Council ay the Superintendent, so the Council may ask any questions in regards to certain expenditures. she Minnec:ota Pollution Control Agency requires that the city ,F Mound have at least 1 full time employee with a Class C -eitificate in Water Supply System Operations. The City is 31so required by the PCA to have 1 person with a Class D -ertifi -Ate in Wastewater Treatment. Each person in the 3� :er & 1 " Department has a certificate in either watF_'1 (fir or in both. The certificates have to be renewed every • oil, aI :3 years. Each employee is sent to schools at least every years, in addition they are sent to various 1 day schools, conferences and conventions. The purpose of this is to learn 46fet w up to date methods of maintenance, changes in laws and procedures. WATER DEPARTMENT The first qua of 1990 started out on a bad note. On January 11. we had a watermain break at 2396 Commerce Blvd. (Williams Clothing Store), there was considerable damage to merchandise and the lower level of the store. A defective service saddle strap had failed causing it to come loose from the watermain. This was turned over to the Cities Insurance Company, this cost us approximately $14.,000 excluding the insurance settlement which was reached late in 1990. After - this the rest of the quarter was eery tame and normal. We had 9 more watermain breaks, 3 i^ .January, 4 in Fehruar'y and 1 in March. Well s4 in Three Points was capped off in February. Water meter and outside reader repair was heavy in this quarter. The second quarter we started clean -up of watermain breaks, streets were repaved and yards were re- landscaped. Well #1 and Well 46 motors were taken out and repaired and serviced. Schools were attended by all maintenance personnel to up - grade certificates, lean new maintenance methods, view new products and understand the new State and Federal laws. We put an all out blitz n meter and outside reader repairs this * aater. Some headway was made but it seems like we can 'fever catch up on it completely. We flushed fire hydrants in May with very good success. We replaced 3 hydrants and repaired 11 this year. This compares to replacing 5 last year ai ►d repairing 30. We repaired 21 water shut -offs in May. The third quarter was very quiet, regular maintenance and repairs were the norm with e3ne exception. It seems that back in the 1978 Street Project some one forgot to install water and sewer services for the seven lots on the lower side of Beachwood Road. But with some negotiation, with the owner we came to an agreement t_h ?t the r_ity would par' to install 3 services with the owner installing 4. This was completed in September. In October we receiv -d the final report from Nova Environmental Inc., regarding the fuel tank removal at the old public Works Building. It is now the hands of the MF'rA for final approval. The rest for this 11as l)een $, <,r 00. which has been paid for out. of the Water & Sewer Vert_ budget. "Meters and outside reader repairs were still plenty full iri the final quarter. AAR For 1990 we pumped a total of The budget for 1990 came in at SEWER DEPARrMENT The Sewer Department has 2 112 full time employees. Damon Hardina has been with the City Sewer Department since 1974. Scott Kivisto has been with the City since 1985. Their duties consist of maintaining 29 lift stations and approximately 60 miles of sanitary sewer lines throughout the City. Stations are checked 3 time a wee It takes b hours per day to perform these checks. We perform minor maintenance such as purnp removal, seal replacement and electrical repairs, any major pump repair is sent out. The Sewer Department has a truck with a crane so we caa pull the pumps We also clean the sewer lines in the summer. We have i water tanker with a .jet cleaner and 1 sewer rodder to perform this cleaninci. the men also help on watermain breaks and with snow plowing. My responsibilities for the sewer Department are pretty much the same as for the Water Department, except the budget was approximately $770 UOO for 1990. In 1990 the Sewer Department was pretty much the same as 1989 with 2 exceptions, (1) our lift station upgrade got started and ( 2 ) the sewer service's that we,.e missed in the 1979 Road Project on Beachwood Road. This was explained in the water report. First our lift station up grade got a good start, Northwest Mechanical of Long Lake was the low bidder, work started in `er7tern ~or with the tPmr>orary by- passing pumping. After this things slowed to a c-, pump shipment was delayed time after time. We received the pumps finally in January of 1 As of this report only lift station P--1 on Island View PT . has been corrrpletr We are still waiting for the 2 p to arrive for E- t (Mound Bay Park).

Minnesota (612) 9 FAX 91 ?916 City of Mound 5341 Maywood Road Mound MN 55364 Attention: Mr. Ed Shukle Dear Ed: It is once again time to renew Mound's various Property & Casualty lines of insurance. I have already sent to John Norman the ippr6priate Binders and premiums for renewal policies. These #' finders will serve as your legal proof of coverages until the policies issue. This year's bottom line is $162,858, compared to last year's premium of $1530 In the ensuing paragraphs, I will explain the elements that contributed to this $9,400 increase, which is about $2,000 lower than projected. Thi League of Minnesota Cities continues to have success with their Insurance programs. Therefore, they are able to offer good renewal _Icing,, availability of otherwise difficult -to-find coverages, and a considerable dividend. It is reassuring to have a stable market handling Municipality insurance. Last year's dividend amounted to $20 0 643 # which you received last December. ' I am enclosing with this letter, a chart comparing your 1990 premiums, by line of coverage, with your 1991 premiums. In the ensuing para- graphs, I will give you an overview of your 1991 various lines of insurance coverage. The L.M.C.I.T. is continuing to write all lines of coverage for Mound, except for the Liquor Liability and Public Officials' Bonds. These coverages are still in the League's self-insured program. Dividends will continue to be rewarded as long as the program remain profitable to all. Outside of the League's program, 1.nSUrari, coverages for municipalities continue to be difficult to find and expensive. The Buildings and their Contents continue to be "Blanket" basis and replacement cost. The Agreed A,,(_,un11 I.1 , ,. r , , , , ,- - T , , , ,., ,, , , I has been added to assure us there will be no k.,)1r.-.ur,, in the event of a claim. The pricing in th.e - .rea approximately 25%, due to the improvements to City 1 ia 11 Hall is now insured for a value of $1,353,000, in value of $563 K. A;ty Ed Shukle Page 2 February 6, 1991 The Crime coverages remain the sane, as does this year's pricing. The Equipment values remain the same, as does this year's pricing. The General Liability pricing has increased about 6 %, die to a change in the manner in which the General Liability premium is derived. 1 remind you here that this Liability coverage is being provided on a "Claims Made" basis now, and has been since February 1, 1987. It is this "Claims Made" form of policy that causes an automatic increase in the premium for the first five renewals. Also, the expenditures of the City have increased 6% to $5,43,365, which also has an influence on the pricing. Another continuing factor to remember, is that the E.M.T.'s and Police Professional Liability are now covered under the League's General Liability. This will be the fourth year of this change. The Auto Insurance premiums increased slightly, due to the number of vehicles being increased by one. The Liquor Liability premium has gone up slightly from last year, while the Liability limits have remained the same. Unfortunately, this increase is due to Transcontinental Insurance Company deciding to drop their 10% Alcohol Awareness credit for package stores. With 1989 25% and 1988's 20% savings, the City has enjoyed a 45% reduction in premiums over the last three years. The Public Jfficials Errors and Omissions Liability policy continues to cover the Mound Council, its committees, and its employees, all the while acting within the scope of their duties. The renewal pricing remains relatively the same as last year, and makes it an excellent buy in the current marketplace. This coverage is being carried with the League also, which gives us the advantage of eliminating a potential gap in coverage between this and the Geri =_ral Liability. This covra6_ contains a $2,500 deductible and continues to cover "Prior Acts ". The Police r_ofessionai liability continues to be covered under the League's Jeneral Liability. There is no longer an additional chant_ :a de ::r this coverage. Coverages continue r use 0: reasonable :' :rce, defense, and reimbursement of puni,_ve damn- A1, pr_.. _.rsonnel and volunteerti are covered while ac,,`nr; within this �aDi�ity CO' ✓r'.^ r_! • Ed Shukle Page 3 February 6, 1991 Workers' Compensation continues to be offered on a self- 1 basis by the League through their appointed Third Party dministrator, EBA. For 1990 there was a change in rotes :'or the various Workers' Compc. ation classifications. This change was an across the board increase of 15 %. EBA regretted to increase rates, but after reviewing the League's claims experience over the prior couple of years by their auditor, it was determined that the past rates were not adequate. And since thy, rates have increased so dramitically in 1990, they continue to remain stable for 1991. hey continue to be lower than what's available in the marketplace. As you and I have discussed in the past, the League is continuing to make available a 10% rate reduction of the premium for the police and firefighter classifications. This reduction is available only if 90% of each of their departments are non- smokers. Apparently, neither department can qualify at the present. If they can qualify in the future, we can pro -rate the premiums. The savings would have totalled about $3,000. As a reminder, the City Council members are currently being covered for Workers' Compensation. The League is making this Workers' Compensation coverage available this year also at a cost to cover a five - member council in 1991 of $610 for the year. As I mentioned in the beginning of this letter, the 1991 total premiums are $2,000 under prc,;ection. It is the Workers' Compensation premium that creates this good news. The Public Official', Bonds are renewing at the same price as last year, with the same insurance carrier. Once again, the Leag:e of Minne -ota Cities Insurance Trust (L.:M.C.!.T. represents the lowes price c: all the competing insurance companies I know of. It is financially strong. The League obviously continues to be the best game in town price -wise, and coverage -wise. When you deduct the dividends that are charFed, you end up with a very illuminating picture. The League filled a gap during a crisis situation, and continues to nana�c.e itse_f `•o the beet end for Y:.^-and. • It R Ed Shukle Page 4 February 6, 1991 The L.M.C.I.T. has a successful monopoly on the Minnesota municipalitj insurance marketplace. Due to this, my agency's job of remarketing your insurance policies each year has been dramatically reduced. This was a monumental task in years past that consumed a tremendous amount of personnel,.resources, and time. My staff no longer needs to spend the many, many hours it has in the past servicing and marketing your insurance. In return for this and for the city's loyalty to me as your agent, over the years, I offer to reduce my agency's commission by 20 %, or $2,200. This will reduce the premiums to $160,658. I see Mound's management doing an incessant ,;ob of staying on top of all areas of risk management. I am consulted and questioned repeatedly about all kinds of changes in my industry and what is available that could specifically serve Mound's ability to command the lowest prices from the insurance marketplace, both now and in the future. Your initiating of new steps to better control your Workers' Compensation exposure claims in indicative of the progres- siveness of your existing management. In finale, I recommend that the City accept the policies and terms as I have quoted them, with the insurance companies with whom I have quoted. 9 thank you in advance for the years you have allowed me to serve as your insurance agent.

The first was an organizational meeting, i.e. appointment of acting Mayor, acting City Manager, official newspaper, designation of official depositories, etc. There was agenda preparation, minutes, 28 resolutions and clean -up items from the two meetings. I inputted all items into the Clerk's Index program from August to December 1990. I was keeping up with this on a monthly basis until we moved to the new addition and elections came up last Fall, so catch up had to be done. I calculated the Fire & Rescue hours for 1990 and incorporated them into the first part of the formula for the 1992 Fire Contract. These figures were sent to the contracting cities. Office furniture needs were assessed by you and items have been selected for replacement. Signage was selected for the inside of the building. This will be completed this month. I attended a MCFOA (MN. Clerks' & Finance Officers' Association) Executive Board Meeting in LaCrosse, WI. This meeting was held in conjunction with the Region VI TIMC Meeting. This Regional VI meeting was the first that had have co- chaired with the other IIMC Director from Iowa. It was a good meeting and went very smoothly. There were the usual calls from citizens regarding various subjects. fc 62 tot � CITE' of MOUND MEMORANDUM DATE: February 6, 1991 5341 MAYN OOD ROAV MOUND MINNESOTA 5536= j612!472 -'155 TO: City Manager, Members of the City Council and Staff FROM: Jon Sutherland, Building Official SUBJECT: January 19911 Monthly Report 3A.

This seat was vacated by Ken Smith who moved to the City Council, we will miss Ken's participjtion with the Planning Commission, but surely benefit by his experience at the Council. A variance request reviewed by the Planning Commission was ap- proved by the City Council for 1724 Finch Lane. This Department is continuing work with the City Planner and Planning Commission on zoning code modifications and the proposed rental housing code. Peggy James is starting to work on a com- plete listing of the housing stock in the community, and we are reviewing the permit, variance and conditional use permit proce- dures for possible modification. TRAINING MEETINGS I attended the Annual Minnesota Building Official Institute at the University of Minnesota along with the Assistant Fire Mar - shp;), Mike ?aim, this session provided necessary review of the newly adopted State codes. In addition, 1 attended the regular Lake Country Chapter monthly meeting and a one day municipals workshop on building cooperation within municipalities. 20 JS :p,j CITY OF FIO1JIiD 5341 Flay «pod ADad Found, Fri 55364 WANNO ACTMit "PORT WrOId Iaft"Ary IV 1491 • 0 �.- { 1 ''+ 1 i 1 70.000 fton 1 P Lobo 70,000 «rrrt •awlt M,.Ii.Kltr 13 13 a oMr► • M Too solow,Ufft 1 t 70,000 1 70.000 1 pYM�..

February 4, 1991 TO: Ed Shukle City Manager FROM: Geno Hoff Street Supt. SUBEJCT: January's Activity Report January has been a cold month so we've been doing alot of equipment repair and building maintenance. First of all we installed 6 42" hanging fans in our building, 2 in the shop, 1 in the washbay and 3 in the garage area. We did all of the installation and wiring ourselves so the cost was minimal. I'm sure this will save on or heating costs. We hit a manhole cover with our blower and broke the cutting edge and sprung the frame. It took a couple of days to take it apart and straighten everything. While we had it aprat we decided to try a new idea. We had some polymore sheeting leftover from another project so we cut it to size and lined the tunnel and the shute to increase the efficiency of the machine. I haven't driven it myself but according to the other operators, it made a big difference, so we lucked out. STREET WORK (snow & ice removal) The 11th 2" to 3" snow,started at the regular time and used 240 tons saltsand and cleaned sidewalks. The 22nd 2" snow, sanded in the afternoon 160 tons.

SUBJECT; January's Activity Report WATER DEPARTMENT In January we pumped 21,210,000 gallons of water. The big news in January was watermain break time. After a very good start in November and December which produced only 2 main breaks, January netted us 8 main breaks. The warm weather was nice but the sudden temperature change was really hard on the pipes. The altitude valve at Pumphouse #3 failed this month. This controls the amount of water that flows in and out of the water tower at Chateau Ln., by ailing to operate properly it drained the tower to a very low level causing the standpipe to freeze and break. We submitted this to the Cities Insurance Co., along with 2 quotes. Western Tower and Tank Co. of out South Dakota will be doing the work. Approximate cost will be $9,000.

This is an increase of approximately $7,850 over 1989 profits. The 1990 budget had a net income projected at $50,000. Joel Krumm should be complimented for the management of the liquor store to achieve these profits. The 1990 sealcoat project of $43,160 was funded from the liquor store profits.

TO: MATOR, CITY MANAGER AND COUNCIL FROM: JOEL KRUMM, LIQUOR STORE MANAGER zs RE: JANUARY 1991 REPORT The main topic of discussion concerning this report is inventory. On Tuesday, January 13t, we closed the doors and just Julie and I came in at 7 AM and began counting. In addition to counting, the deposit from New Year's Eve had to be done and the perpetual inventory had to be reconciled. At around 4 :30 PM, the auditor arrived to perform his customary audiying duties. After he was finished, Julie and I were able to leave at 7 PM. With the end of this twelve hour non -stop day, plus all of the other overtime hours I had been putting in since Thanksgiving, I was extremely happy that the holidays were finally over. The following day, Julie and I devoted all our spare time to changing prices, because we are responsible to the federal government for payir;g a "Floor Tax" on all beer, liquor and wine items (excluding sparklings) in the store as of Jan. 1, it was imperative that these prices get changed quickly. Since 50% of our sales are beer, we felt that this category would be the first thing to tackle. Next we changed fast moving liquor and wine items. This was all done on the first day after inventory. We were able to finish all liquor that first week and all the wine the following week. I must tell you it was quite a chore to manually take the old price tags off each and every bottle in the store. A computerized system would have come in very handy at that time. Aw of January 31st, the inventory has been completely extended. We had $7,200 more in stock than last year. With the FET going up I wanted an extra supply of certain things. However, I certainly did not want to exaggerate the inventory level because during a recession, it is a mistake to have too high an inventory level. In the next week John Norman will do a preliminary run to see how the store performed in regards to profits. This is a fairly accurate report, around 99% reliable, however, it will not be official until the auditors take a look.

We an presently evaluating resumes from potential project managers. Norm Paurus, last year's manager took another full time position. Also being evaluated is a plan to work with a local business assisting them with our weed dispo :al equipment to allow them to pick up lakeshore home owners weeds on the lake shore. This would be a 'for profit' operation. This proposal is dependent upon the LMLOA taking an active interest. 1.2. Comprehensive Lake Management Plan The plan has been tentatively approved by the Metropolitan Council. They have asked that we do what we can to get all the cities to go along. The plan has been endorsed by the DNR. ° The chances of getting unanimous approval by the cities are slim, given the varying agendas of the dissenting cities, many of which are at cross purposes. In an attempt to further this effort, the Metropolitan Council has designated one of their staff persons to work with us as a facilitator to attempt to draft a comprehensive memorandum of understanding with the dissenting cities. These cities do not seem to realize that they are playing into the hands of those persons and organizations who do not wish the LMCD well, those who would like to see it supplanted with another body, more under the direct control of outsiders. The action of the Greenwood city council (population 630) in R 02 lot • loudly refusing to reappoint their representative, who is the LMCD chair, because he has worked long and hard for the plan sends a reinforcing message to those who claim that the cities cannot be trusted to manage the lake in the best interests of all users, and the ecology. 1.3 Otber General Interest Items. None [f xx (I liwl. i DjI Is m V I : u 7 2.1 Chapman Place Marina The resolution of this license when coupled with the similar, but different, Excelsior Gables Marina has caused a vexing problem. These are both installations that we would never allow to happen again. In both cases there has been a conversion of use, that could justify our making them revert to the I to 50 rule, but this probably isn't fair, and would doubtless bring costly litigation. 2.2 Mound City Council Support. The consistant support of the Mound Council throughout the plan adoption action, and the earlier unqualified support of the EWM program has really made my duties on the LMCD easier. It is greatly al preciated. It is tough to see other members having to apologize fr the actWs of their cities. xom nrew Mound Representative Lake Minnetonka Conservation District TR:mac cc.

Absent and excused were 8111 Thal, Bill Voss and Mark Hanus. Chair Meyer called the regular meeting to order at 7x36 p.m. MINUTES. The January 14, 1991 Planning Commission Minutes were presented for changes and /or additions. MOTION made by Clapsaddie, seconded by Mueller to ap- prove the January 14, 1991 Planning Commission Minutes as submitted. Motion carried unanimously. ZONING CODE MODIFICATIONS -PERFORMANCE STANOARC City Planner, Mark Koegler, reviewed the proposed changes to Sec- tion 7. Performance Standards of the Zoning Code. Koegler asked the Commission for comments and suggestions. 23.705.7 Tree Preservation Policy. Mueller commented that this policy should pertain to all development, not Just "residential" development. The Commission agreed. 23.714.3 Design and Ma,;,tenance of Off- Street Parking AreB,lL. Koegler questioned if they wanted to allow rock driveways in residential zones. The commission recalled that they were wait- ing for a response from staff on the impacts of rock driveways versus driveways with an impermeable surface. No change was recommended at this time. 23.740.2 ACCEPTABLE BUILDING MATERIALS - Residential Construc- tion. Koegler explained the Intent of this section is to prevent a "cookie cutter" effe.t, or a row of identical looking houses In the same neighborhood. The Commission agreed with adding this section as proposed. It was determined that if a builder had difficulty complying, he would only have to make minor altera- tions to his plans in order to meet the code. 23.740.3 ACCEPTABLE BUILDING MATERIAL . __ M . Commercial and in - dustri C onstr ucti on. 1) The Commi pion determined that unlike the residential dis- tricts, they would like more consistency in design in the downtown area, and therefore, agreed that this subsection be deleted. 2) What constitutes a textured surface?

If a Section is not 1!sted, there were no com- ments and the Comsi ss i on approved of the attorney's revisions. 495:20, Subd, l_ The Commi agreed that using the seven county metropolitan area is not sufficient because it does not include Wright or Carver Counties. The Commission's concern ties with the fact that some" living in Watertown or Delano cannot obtain a license, The COMM I ss i on Is still In favor of using a 100 mile radius figure. they would like the City Attorney's com- ments on this possibility. 495:40. The Planning Commission is assuming that the word "glass" was not striked out due to a typo. This should be con- firmed with the City Attorney. 497: 70. The Commissioners are still adamant that the owner bear the sole responsibility. Why should the courts or the City have to determine who is responsible, they shouid not have to read lease agreements. 319: Subd. 11, The Commission had a long discussion pertain- ing to the definition of Habitable Room. Mueller questioned what constitutes "below ground level?" The Commission compared the definition with the Uniform Building Code definition for Habitable Room. The intent of the rental housing maintenance ordinance was reviewed. The Commission determined the intent is to have rental housing meet minimum code requirements to provide safe living conditions. The Commission recessed for five minutes. The Commission returned and continued discussing Section 319 SAbd. ,il, They determined that the definition for Habitable Room should be consistent with the Uniform Building Code definition. • • • A tur Planning Commission Minutes January 28, 1991 Page 3 319:10, Subd. 26, Rental Dwelling Definition. if there is a definition for "Dwelling Units" (Subd. 6.), then why is the term "Rental Dwelling" used. What is a mother -in -law apartment? The definition is confusing. The Building Official will compare these definitions with other City's ordinances and the Building Code. 319:15. Responsibilities of Owners and Occupants. The Commis- sion discussed this section at length. The Commission agreed that they would like the owner to be responsible, not the oc- cupant. Jensen commented that the owner can contractually assign the responsibility of the premises to anyone, but she feels the owner should be the one held accountable. They would like the Attorney to explain why he does not reconnend that only the owner be held responsible. Chair Meyer closed discussion and stated that discussion will resume at the next workshop meeting beginning at Section 319:15.

Northern States Power Company is no different. We have worked hard to avoid increasing the cost of providing you service and reliability you know and deserve. But cost controls and budget cutting can do only so much. NSP today has filed a request with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission for an 8.1 percent increase, or $98.2 million, in electric rates for our retail electric customers. The proposed 8.1 percent increase compares favorably to an overall inflation increase (Consumer Price Index) of about 15 percent since our last authorized increase in January 1988. When inflation is considered, the "real" price of electricity continues to fall. We wouldn't be asking for a request if we didn't believe strongly that we need it to: - Maintain safe, reliable service to our customers - Continue environmental leadership - Cover increasing operating costs - And maintain a fair return to shareholders 0 While we are never happy to raise prices to our customers, we are fortunate that we could do so and still maintain prices that are among the lowest in the region and around the nation.

Last year, the Lakewinds Condominiums asked or and received a 48 foot low water variance. Enclosed is a reapplication for an additional 50 feet, bringing us to a total of `9A foot, temporary extension. This would mean that our docks told extend from the shoreline a total of 198 feet. please also note that the Lakewinds Association is renewing the ,.=Jo partion of its license, which applies to the 16 transient slips n used formally by Donnie's Restaurant. Donnie's . *est,aurant has gone bankrupt and the condominium association _does not know at what point in the future these slips may bp installed. However, in order to preserve these slips for possible future use and as a result of their seasonal nature, they are not being installed until such time as a future tenant enters into an agreement acceptable to the Lakewinds Condominium Association and the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District for their use. I hope that the statement above adequately responds to your request regarding the 16 transient docks. If I can be of further assistance or provide further information on the low water variance or 16 transient slips, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your consideration. Michael A.

The following were approved as submitted: Al & Alma's Chapman Place Association Driftwood Shores Minnetonka Boat Rentals /Edgewater Marina William Niccum Seahorse Condominium Association Seton Townhouses. Lakewinds Association has noted "Transient dockage subject to agreement with restaurant owners. No overnite boat storage allowed ". The City Council questioned this because that particular restaurant has not been in business for several years and there is some question as to whether the property that these docks abut belongs to Lakewinds. We would appreciate a clarification on the transient dockage and an answer to the ownership question. The Council had no problem with the regular docks at Lakewinds.

O.C. 20293 OFFICE Of THE O:RECTOR FROM THE DIRECTOR BUREAU OF THE CENSUS The Secretary of Commerce has provided state population counts based on the 1990 Bicentennial Census to the President for the apportionment of the House of Representatives. Now that we have fulfilled that legal requirement, we are sending you the official population counts for all jurisdictions in your state. Since these counts provide only totals for the state and local governmental units, they are not intended for use in redistricting. An required by Public Law 94 -171, the Bureau of the Census will provide; redistricting counts at the block level for all states and the District of Columbia. We have begun to release these counts on a state -by -state basis; data for all states will be released by April 1, 1991. As required by the Stipulation and Order in the New York adjustment litigation, these population counts are subject to possible correction for undercount or overcount. The United States Department of Commerce is considering whether to correct these counts and will publish corrected counts, if any, not later than July 15, 1991. It cannot be determined at this time, what effect, if any, a statistical adjustment will have on the apportionment of Congress cr state redistricting. We thank you for your work and support of the 1990 census and look forward to maintaining a working relationship with you over the next c --ade. Sincerely, �4- &E.

Such laws are inconsistent with principles of local self - government and accountability. Neither do they recognize changing local conditions as to either expenditure needs or revenue sources. Levy limits may ultimately work against the interests of local taxpayers because the law creates an incentive for cities to take maximum advantage of the opportunity to make general or special levies. For example, the arbitrary decision in 1981 to create a new levy limit base effectively penalized those cities that were successful in holding down their property tax levies in 1981. This was done again in 1987 and 1988. History has now provided cities with numerous lessons teaching that cities which choose to levy less than the maximum allowed in a given year risk being later tied to unrealistic or artificially low new . limits for future budget years. Therefore, THE AMM REMAINS STRONGLY OPPOSED IN PRINCIPLE TO SUCH LIMITATIONS AND RECOMMENDS THAT THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE ALLOW LEVY LIMIT LAWS FOR CITIES TO SUNSET PER CURRENT LAW FOR TAXES PAYABLE 1993. A -2 LEVY LIMIT INDEX The 1985 Legislature r,ersed the annual levy limit base increase index from the greater of the Implicit Price Deflator or 5% to the lessor of these. In 1987 this was changed to 3 %, 1988 to 4 %, and 1989 to 3 %. For many years cities argued that the levy base increase should not be a flat percentage but be indexed to reflect cost of doing business. This is especially true since labor costs are 60 to 65 percent of the total municipal cost. yet because of the state PELRA laws control of wages and wage increases often is determined by outside arbitration. Also, during those years, of flat percent increase, many adjustments and gimmicks were needed to keep up but with the adoption of the Implicit Price Deflator as an index, this would not be necessary. THE AMM URGES THE LF:GISINTURE TO RESTORE THE ANNUAL LEVY BASE INCREASE TO THE IMPLICIT PRICE DEFLATOR, SINCE THIS IS THE ONLY INDEX OF ACTUAL NEED. -1- 317 ■ I -B LEVY LIMIT MODIFICATIONS g Although the AMM is strongly opposed to Levy Limitations as currently legislated, the organization is aware that there is significant legislative initiative to maintain the responsibility for local property tax levels. However, local government must continue and be allowed to provide for services that people demand and that state and federal law require. Therefore, for taxes payable in 1992 and thereafter if repeal is not adopted, the Association supports amendments to the present levy limit law to provide further relief from current inequities. B-1 REALISTIC LEVY BASE The 1983 legislature restored the pre 1982 levy base formula of local government aids plus levy limit on which annual growth is calculated without regard to actual levy. This method provides that cities may levy less than the limit without losing the ability to regain the underlevy in future years. The legislature also provided growth based on an index rather than a flat percentage and growth increase for the greater of population or households and some base growth for commercial and industrial activity. All of these growth factors are necessary as a minimum to allow cities the ability to at least stay even with service provisions for the varying population needs. The 1987 and 1988 legislature eliminated the underlevy reserve and the use of C/I for growth. The 1989 Legislature reduced population growth to one -half. THE ANN STRONGLY URGES A RETURN TO BASF ADJUSTMENTS INCLUDING FULL POPULATION OR HOUSEHOLD GROWTH AND COMMERCIAL/ INDUSTRIAL GROWTH. ELIMINATING THE ABILITY TO LEVY LESS THAN THE MAXIMUM WITHOUT LOSING THE DIFFERENCE FOR THE FUTURE WILL ALKOST CERTAINLY GUARANTEE THAT CITIES MUST LEVY THE MAXIMUM. B -2 REVERSE REFERENDUM The 1981 legislature eliminated the Reverse Referendum procedure which allowed a local governing body to increase its levy base by up to 10% if it was at 98% or more of the levy limit the previous year. The law restricted use to a one time 10% increase or up to 10% in multiple steps and public hearing procedures. The increase was subject to a referendum if a petition was presented containing signatures equal to 5% of the number of persons voting at the previous general election. If no petition was received, the increase becomes effective. This provision provided a measure of flexibili_y for cities and counties that needed base increases for vario reasons. The 1988 Legislature eliminated all city referendu: ability for property tax increase. -2- 318 TM AM RBQUESTS THE LEGISLATURE RE -ENACT THE REVERSE REFERENDUM = jt NORRUM PROVISIONS TO ADD FLEXIBILITY FOR LOCAL UNITS. B•-3 MNMTSD STATE AND FEDERAL PROGRAMS. The cost of local government is being influenced more and more by both state and federally legislated mandated programs and increased mandated benefits or costs for in -place programs. Due to current levy limitation restrictions, the ability of local government to pay these increased costs is severely restricted, thereby causing in many instances, a reduction in the level of the traditional service functions of police, fire, street, etc. There is a vast range of mandated program increases which have no baring or relationship to the annually allowed levy limit increase. Some of these include worker's compensation benefits, binding arbitration, federal social security, minimum wage laws, comprehensive planning, Critical Areas Act, Shorelines Act, OSHA, etc. TIM AM MtGES THE LEGISLATURE TO RECOGNIZE THAT MANDATED INCREASED IIIVREB IN ONE PROGRAM WITHOUT A CORRESPONDING INCREASE IN ABILITY MANDATES A DECREASED EXPENDITURE IN THE OTHER SMICS 11MS SUCH AS PUBLIC SAFETY ETC. THEREFORE, WHEN NEW "rMM OR INCREASES TO EXISTING PROGRAMS ARE MANDATED, THE L=SLATORE SHOULD PROVIDE SUBSTANTIAL STATE FUNDING ASSISTANCE WITH AS APPROPRIATE, A PERMANENT LEVY LIMIT BASE INCREASE TO OFFSET THE NEW COSTS. B-4 SPECIAL LEVIES AND BASE ADJUSTMENTS The legislature has in the past recognized that occasionally special conditions exist that require special funding or modification of a cities current funding in order to continue the ability to finance ongoing required services. The special levies, except for bonded debt and pension costs, as delineated in Minnesota Statutes 1987, Section 275.50 were eliminated in 1983 as were levies for Economic Development Authorities, Infrastructure replacement and other special activities. it is imperative that the legislature reconsider elimination of these levies. Generally for cities as a whole the amount levied is insignificant com.:parej to total property taxes. However, on an i:;dividual local level they can be very significant and without this ability could lead to a drastic reduction in the ability to protect tho Public Health, Safety and welfare of the people of the state. In addition to these special levies eliminated by the 1988 tax bill the legislature should consider levies fcr natural disasters lawful orders, Eurasian Milfoil treatrent, and shifts of service costs from one jurisdiction to another as well as levy base adjustments for permanent mandated or shifted activities in{_l Comparable worth (pay equity) adjustments, waste re .•yclinc3 activities, drug enforcement, and truth in taxation,. caz C 1 31' TO ALLOW CITIES THE ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY CONTINUE PROVIDING SERVICES THAT PROTECT THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF KINNESOTAS CITIZENS, THE AMM ENCOURAGES THE LEGISLATURE TO RESTORE THE SPECIAL LEVIES ELIMINATED IN THE 1988 TAX BILL, CREATE NEW SPECIAL LEVIES FOR NECESSARY OR LIMITED MANDATED ACTIVITIES SUCH AS DRUG ENFORCEMENT AND ERASIAN MILFOIL TREATMENT AND TO PROVIDE LEVY BASK ADJUSTMENT FOR PERMANENT MANDATED ACTIVITIES SUCH AS PAY EQUITY PAYROLL INCREASES, COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH WASTE RECYCLING ACTIVITIES, ANI TRUTH IN TAXATION. I -C LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID C -1 AID PROGRAM State Aid to cities has been a much debated legislative issue for two decades. Over that time the formula(s) have ranged from pure per capita, to need based on value and service, to a distribution based on location and past spending. Homestead Credit has changed to Homestead Aid and is no longer a direct taxpayer subsidy. New gimmicks such as Disparity Reduction Aid (Mill rate equalization) and Tax Base Equalization Aid, have been invented to target money to various regions when the general aid formula could not be politically justifiably rigged to work. Because of the regional fracturing or because cities and city aid has become an easier less emotionally backed target, the legislature has begun what appears to be a systematic shift from city aid to school and county assistance programs. THE STATE SHOULD CONTINUE A LOCAL AID COMMITMENT TO CITIES TO HELP MAINTAIN REASONABLE PROPERTY TAXES ON A FAIR BASIS FOR THE PROVISION OF NECESSARY PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE SERVICES. C -2 LGA FORMULA It is time for the cities and the legislature to return to basics and develop a single rationally based formula for redistribution of state collected wealth to continue the state commitment for the provision of necessary public health, safety, and welfare services by city government to the states citizens. A SINGLE STATE AID FORMULA SHOULD BE ADOPTED THAT CONTAINS STVERAL ELEMENTS TO HELP STABILIZE THE COST OF BASIC, LOCAL SERVICES. THE FORMULA SHOULD CONSIDER: - WEALTH OR TAX CAPACITY; - PROPERTY TAX BURDEN RELATIVE TO INCOME; -THE SERVICES WHICH ARE NECESSARY AND THUS SHOULD BE SUPPORTED BY THE STATE; AND -AN APPROPRIATE SUPPORT LEVEL FOR THE VARIOUS INL'LUDED SERVICES. -4- ago C -3 STATE COMMITMENT . The state, when faced with budget shortfalls, has been quick to solve its problem on the back of city government and thus local taxpaying constituents that have been promi -ed certain services. The majority of cities do not have the states budget reserve nor two year cycle flexibility and therefore cannot make major budget adjustments in mid year. THS LEGISLATURE, WHEN SOLVING BUDGET PROBLEMS, SHOULD NOT TAKL: AWAY OR REDUCE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID, HOMESTEAD AND AGRICULTURAL CREDIT AID, OR TAX BASE EQUALIZATION AID IN THE SAME YEAR IT HAS BELN BUDGETED BY LOCAL GOVERNMENT. IF THE STATE BUDGET RESERVE HAS BEEN EkHAUSTFD AND CUTS IN A CURRENT CALENDAR YEAR ARE STILL NECESSARY, THEN THE STATE SHOULD ALLOW LOCAL, UNITS TO RECOVER CUTS IN THE FOLLOWING BUDGET YEAR. ANY FUTURE AID REDUCTION MADE BY THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD BE RFCOVL'RABLE BY INCREASED LEVY AUTHORITY. C -4 MINIMUM AID The old Homestead Credit program guaranteed that all homeowners would receive at least some redistribution of their sales and income tax revenue back in the form of lowered property taxes. Under the current system, homeowners do get a calculated property tax reduction but there is not necessarily a payment from the state to the city for that calculated reduction. In fact some cities now no longer receive any LGA, TBE, or HACA of any kind, thus, local tax rates for all property are higher. THE STATE SHOULD CONTINUE A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF AT LF.A.ST HACA AID TO EACH COMMUNITY 1N FAIRNESS AND TO UPHOLD THE ORIGINAL COMMITMENT TO ALL OF THE STATES TAXPAYERS. I -D PROPERTY TAX D -1 HOMESTEAD CLASS RATES Horestead taxable value is determine by applying 1% to the fi st $68,000 market � 2% to the market value between $68,000 and $110,000, and 3% to the market value in excess of $110,000. This triple split rate causes an artificial difference in market value compared to taxable value especially between outstate and the metro area. The vast majority of homes in outstate Minnesota are value at less than $68,000, thus, taxed at the 1% rate while ir the metro area r,.any, especially newer homes, are in e':cess of $100,000 and pay taxes based on 2% and 3% cf significant portions of their value. The split rata system also causes geometrically progressive tax rather than just progressive. A $120,000 homes -5- n 3A1 pays 3 times the tax of a $60,000 home while a $240,000 home which is 4 times the value of a $60,000 home pays 9 times the tax. . Higher valued property should pay proportionately higher taxes but not geometrically higher taxes. Although, the ideal solution from a fairness perspective would be a single rate for homestead property regardless of market value, the AMM will support a two tier system as a desireable step in the direction of establishing a fair property tax system. THE AMM SUGGESTS RE'T'URNING TO A TWO TIER HOMESTEAD CLASS TAX RATE SYSTEM, THE FIRST TIER OF 1% ON VALUE UP TO $68,000 MARKET VALUE AND THE SECOND TIER OF 2% Oii MARKET VALUE OVER $68,000. WHILE THE AMM PREFERS THAT THE STATE INCREASE HAG TO OFFSET THE EFFECTS OF GOING TO A TWO TIER SYSTEM, IN ANY EVENT, LOCAL UNITS OF GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT BE PREVENTED FROM RECOVERING THE LOST REVENUE THROUGH LEVY. D-2 NON GOVERNMENTAL TAX EXEMPT PROPERTY One of the glaring inequities in the Minnesota tax system involves the free local services that are provided to tax exempt property owned by certain non - governmental organizations. It is widely acknowledged that such property benefits directly from governmental services such as police and fire protection and street services provided by cities and counties. However, since there is not legal basis for claiming reimbursement for the cost of such services, thev are borne by the local taxpayers. Furthermore, such property is concentrated in certain cities and counties resulting in a heavy cost burden in certain parts of the state. THE ASSOCIATION BELIEVES THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY ENACTING LEGISLATION, REQUIRING OWNERS OF TAX EXEMPT PROPERTY, EXCEPT FOR CHURCHES, HOUSES OF WORSHIP, AND PROPERTY USED SOLELY FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES BY ACADEMIES, COLLEGES, UNIVERSITIES AND SEMINARIES OF LEARNING, TO 1ZEIMBUIL`>E CITIES AND COUNTIES FOR THE COST OF MUNICIPAL SE;RVICE:S. D -3 STATE AND METROPOLITAN AGENCY OWNED TAX EXEMPT PROPERTY The State of Minnesota and M-tropolitan Agencies owns a sign'.ficant am -. ,unit of property within the metropolitan area. Cities provide a range of services that benefit these properties. However, since the they are exer,pt from paying property taxes, municipalities . s are not reirursed for the cost of these services. This places an unreasonable burden un cities. The State of Wisconsin e! tablishFsc; a program called "Payment for Municipal Services" in 1973. The irogram provides a mechanism for municipalities to by reimt;u sed b the state for services they provide to s':ate -owned properties. Through a formula based on the 0 -6- 322L. value of state -owned buildings within a city, the Wisconsin system reimburses cities for police, fire, and solid waste services. THE ANN ENCOURAGES THE STATE LEGISLATURE TO ESTABLISH A PROGRAM FOR REIMBURSING MUNICIPALITIES FOR SERVICES TO STATE AND METROPOLITAN AGENCY FACILITIES. THE PROGRAM SHOULD (1) ENSURE THAT THESE AGENCIES PAY ASSESSMENTS FOR SERVICES THAT BENEFIT THEIR PROPERTY, AND (2) ALLOW CITIES TO RECEIVE COMPENSATION FOR SERVICES THAT ARE FUNDED THROUGH GENERAL REVENUE, SUCH AS POLICE AND FIRE, WHICH ARE VALUABLE TO THE STATE OF MINNESOTA AND METROPOLITAN AGENCIES. D--4 PROPERTY TAX REFORM Many significant changes in the property tax system have been made since the 1988 Session. The AMM believes it is critical that any future proposals be evaluated on the basis of their impact on individual communities. A proposal that may appear balanced on a statewide basis can have very disparate effects on individual cities. The difference in property tax burdens among taxpayers living in neighboring tax jurisdictions which provide similar services must also be kept within reasonable limits. Any significant tax burden disparities would adversely affect cities' abilities to compete on a fair basis for residents and economic development. • Tax increment districts are dependent on tax rates and assessment ratios of the current property tax system. The financial viability of those projects should not be jeopardized by state - imposed changes in the tax structure. Likewise, enterprise zone businesses have been recruited based on a commitment that they would receive a preferential classification ratio in the calculation of their property tax obligations. These development districts should be protected from any negative consequences ,of tax reform. The tax increment financing plan in effect at trio time legislation is passed should be the basis for determining remedies. in enacting any major reforms of the Minne t,tf: system, including the complementary system of ; r.�� l oca l government, the AMM recommends th .t t?:=: policies which meet the following condit(r,_;: THE IMPACT OF THE PROPOSAL SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY ), tio'P ONLY FOR ITS IMPACT STATEWIDE, BUT ALSO 1'012 1 , 1)' vi 1 1:( "v I ND I V I DUAL COMMUNITIES.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID, OR AN EQUIVALENT PROGRAM OF SHARING STATE REVENUE FOR THE PURPOSE OF EQUALIZING LOCAL PROPERTY TAX BURDENS, SHOULD REMAIN AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF ZHE PROPERTY TAX SYSTEM. CATEGORICAL AID PROGRAMS SHOULD NOT BECOME A SUBSTITUTE FOR LGA AND RELATED PROPERTY TAX RELIEF PROGRAMS. PROPERTY TAX REFORM SHOULD NOT JEOPARDIZE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS WHOSE ESTABLISH AND FINANCING WERE BASEL) ON CONTINUATION OF THE CURRENT TAX STRUCTURE. ANY TAX REFORM NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE EXISTING TAX INCREMENT FINANCE DISTRICTS AND THEIR CASH FLAW AND OBLIGATIONS. IMPACT ON ENTERPRISE ZONES MUST ALSO BE ADDRESSED. PROVIDING TAX RELIEF FOR COMMERCIAL/ INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY AND HIGH - VALUED HOMESTEAD PROPERTY SHOULD REMAIN A HIGH PRIORITY. TAX STATEMENTS SHOULD ACCURATELY REFLECT HOW MUCH THE PROPERTY BENEFITS FROM STATE PAID RELIEF. THE CHANGES IN TAX STATEMENTS MADE BY THE 1988 LEGISLATURE HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO MISLEAD TAXPAYERS ABOUT THE VALUE OF HOMESTEAD CREDIT /TRANSITION AID PAYMENTS MADE TO LOCAL GOVERNMINTS. THE PROPERTY TAX SYSTEM SHOULD IMPROVE EQUALIZATION FOR CITIES, COUNTIES AND SCHOOLS AND FOR INDIVIDUAL TAXPAYERS WITHIN THE PARANZ7ZRS OF OTHER AMM PROPERTY TAX OBJECTIVES. AT THE SAME TIME, REFORMS SHOULD NOT MAKE MAJOR REDUCTIONS IN THE PROPERTY TAX BASES OF CITIES. AN INCOME - ADJUSTED CIRCUIT BREAKER AND RENTERS' CREDIT SHOULD CONTINUE. SIMPLIFICATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY ARE DESIRABLE GOAIS THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITHIN THE ABOVE TENETS. I -E GENERAL FISCAL IMPACT POLICIES E -1 FISCAL NOTE CONTINUATION Many laws are passed each year by the legislature which have a substantial effect on the financial viability of cities. Some of these, such as revenue and tax measures, have an obvious and direct effect which is often calculated and reported during the hearing process. Many others, such as worker's compensation benefit increases, mandated activities, binding arbitration and other labor related legislation, social programs, etc., have costs which are not as obvious but which will now be known due to a fiscal note requirement. Cities and others will now be able to • -8- Say determine the real Lost Lf a program or suggestion ani be able to use this data in determining the merits. 0 THE STATE SHOULD CONTINUE A POLICY OF "DELIBERATE RESTRAINT" ON ITS MANDATED PROGRAMS AN.7) UTILIZE EXTENSIVELY THE RECENTLY ADOPTED FISCAL NOTE STATUTE IDENTIFYING LOCAL GOVITT?NMF.NT COSTS ON ANY NEW MANDATED PROGRAMS. E -2 FUNDING SHIFTS The Minnesota House of Representatives Research lr)ppartment annually prepares 'Major State Aids and Taxes: Cnmparative Analysis'. The statistics for 1985 through 1989 show an imbalance of state revenues collected and aids and credits distributed between the metropolitan and outstate areas that is growing each year. Over 65% of the State Revenue is collected in the Metropolitan Area while less than 45% of the aids and credits are redistributed in the metro area. In 1989 there was $.53 returned in aids and credits for each dollar collected in the metro area whereas, there was $1.25 returned per $1.00 collected in greater Minnesota. If this trend is allowed to grow , state tax and aid policies may jeopardize the future economic growth of the metro area to the detriment of the whole state. STATISTICS COMPILED BY THE HOUSE RESEARCH DEPARTMENT SHOW THAT THE MAJORITY OF 12E STATE REVENUE IS RAISED IN THE METRO AREA WHILE ONLY A MINORITY OF THE STATE AIDS AND CREDITS ARE ALLOCATED TO THE METRO AREA. WHILE SOME IMBALANCE IS ACCEPTABLE AND . UNDERSTANDABLE, THE AM!! REQUESTS THE LEGISLATURE TO NOT ALLOW THE IMBALANCE TO GROW AND TO CONSIDER HOW THIS DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES EFFECTS THE ECONOMIC GROWTH AND VITALITY OF THE METRO AREA AND THUS THE ENTIRE STATE. E -3 STATE REVENUE STABILITY The AMM has in the past supported a st..te budget reserve of a sufficient size to allow the state to overcome unexpected Revenue shortfalls in a given year. This supporting position was adopted to prevent a repeat of the 1980 disaster where cities did not receive certified State Aids that had become an integral part of the budget. However, when faced with a similar shortfall in 1990, the state legislature and administration again withhr_•ld needed already budgeted State Aids. The state acted as if use of the budget reserve for its stated purpose would somehow be . ' and that it was better to take away service resources from witizens and blame local government. THE ANN SUPPORTS A CONTINUED STATE BUDGET RESERVE ONLY IF THE STATE IS WILLING TO USE THE RESERVE IN TIMES OF REVENUE `;iiORTFALL IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE BUDGETED COMMITMENTS MADE TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT. MAINTAINING A BUDGET RESERVE MERELY FOR THE SAKE OF MIM to 32S HAVING MONEY IN THE BANK WHILE ARBITRARILY CUTTING PREVIOUSLY COMMITTED LOCAL EXPENDITURES IS BAD PUBLIC POLICY AND IS DECEIVING TO THE CITIZENS OF MINNESOTA. 0 • -10- 3;Z • II GENERAL LEGISLATION • PAGE 11 THROUGH 20 Ll U.? II GENERAL LEGISLATION II -A LABOR RELATIONS ISSUES (PELRA) • In addition to coverage under the Minnesota Public Employee Labor Relations Act, public employees find their employment relationship governed by a number of laws that can conflict with their collective bargaining rights negotiated under PELRA. Disciplinary actions against a public employee can be governed by the veterans preference law, the human rights act, federal discrimination laws, civil service or merit systems, laws relating to specific employee classes (i.e. city managers) or specific job protections (i.e. right to know or workers compensation laws) or by state and federal due process or implied contract provisions. PELRA should be amended to encourage successful negotiation of the "terms and conditions of employment ". Specifically, constraints or artificial timelinQs on the parties' ability to bargain, should be amended. A -1 DISCIPLINARY ACTION PUBLIC EMPLOYEES INCLUDING VETERANS SHOULD HAVE "ONE BITE" IN DISCHARGE ACTIONS. THE NEGOTIATED COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT SHOULD CONTROL THE ACTION, AS LONG AS STATE AND FEDERAL DUE PROCESS RIGHTS ARE GUARANTEED. THE DISCHARGE PROCEDURES RIGHTS UNDER ANY LAW OR SYSTEM SHOULD • BE HELD BEFORE A NEUTRAL PARTY AND SHOULD BE HANDLED WITHIN 120 DAYS OF THE DISCIPLINARY ACTION INITIATED BY THE PUBLIC EMPLOYER. COMPENSATION PAYMENTS AND ACCRUAL OF BENEFITS SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED WHERE AN EMPLOYEE HAS BEEN GIVEN NOTICE OF THE EMPLOYER'S INTENT TO DISCHARGE FOR "JUST CAUSE." THE VETERANS PREFERENCE LAW, PROHIBITING DISMISSAL OF PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEES WITHOUT A HEARING, SHOULD BE AMENDED SO THAT ALL PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEES ARE TREATED UNIFORMLY. A -2 IMPASSE RESOLUTION /BINDING ARBITRATION ALL PUBLIC EMPLOYEES, REGARDLESS OF JOB CLASSIFICATION, SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO STRIKE. HOWEVER, A STATUTORY MECHANISM SHOULD BE PUT IN PLACE THAT ALLOWS A PUBLIC EMPLOYER TO ADDRESS PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE CONCERNS IN THREATENED OR ACTUAL STRIKE S?TUATIONS. PUBLIC EMPLOYEES SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN MEANINGFUL MEDIATION UNTIL AN IMPASSE IS DECLARED BY THE MEDIATOR. THE ARBITRARY STATUTORY INtIASSE TIMELINES SHOULD BE REPEALED. • -11- 32 8 PUBLIC EMPLOYEES, AFTER IMPASSE IS DECLARED, SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO GIVE ONLY ONE NOTICE OF THEIR INTENT TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHT TO STRIKE. IF THE NOTICE IS GIVEN AND THEY FAIL TO STRIKE DURING THE STATUTORY PERIOD, THEY WOULD LOSE THEIR RIGHT TO STRIKE. THE AM STRONGLY URGES THE LEGISLATURE TO READOPT ITEM BY ITEM LAST BEST OFFER INTEREST ARBITRATION TO PROMOTE MORE MEANINGFUL NEGOTIATIONS FOR ESSENTIAL EMPLOYEES. A -3 PICKS LINES PUBLIC EMPLOYEES SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO CROSS A TICKET LINE. A -4 UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICE CHARGES REVIEW OF UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICE CHARGES SHOULD BE TRANSFERRED FROM DISTRICT COURT TO AN ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCY. (I.E. BUREAU OF MEDIATION SERVICES, PERB, OR OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS). A -5 PART TIDE EMPLOYEES THE AMM REaW(ENDS THAT THE LEGISLATURE REINSTATE THE PREVIOUS DEFINITION OF EMPLOYEES COVERED BY PELRA TO BE PERSONS EMPLOYED FOR MORK THAN 100 WORKING DAYS IN A CALENDAR YEAR, INSTEAD OF THE CURRENT 67 DAYS FOR NON STUDENTS. A -6 BUREAU OF MEDIATION SERVICES is THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD PROMOTE IMPROVED COMMUNICATION AND COGPERATION BETWEEN EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES BY CONTINUING THE STATE LABOR - MANAGEMENT PROGRAM WITHIN THE STATE BUREAU OF MEDIATION SERVICES. THE BUREAU OF MEDIATION SERVICES SHOULD DEVELOP AN EXPEDITED GRIEVANCE ARBITRATION PROCESS. II -B TORT LIABILITY The Municipal Tort Liability Act was enacted to protect the public treasury while giving the citizen relief from the arbitrary, confusing, and administratively expensive prior doctrine of sovereign immunity with its inconsistent and irrational distinctions between governmental and proprietary activities. The act has served that purpose well in the past, however, courts frequently forget or ignore the positive benefits secured to ciL - izens damaged by public servants as a result of enactment of the comprehensive act which includes some limitations on liability and some qualifications of normal tort claims procedure. -12- 321 The special vulnerability of far -flung government operations to debilitating tort suits continues to require the existence of a tort claims act applicable to local governments or local governments and the state. The need for some type of limitations is evidenced by recent experiences with the insurance market. Cities in Minnesota are finding it increasingly difficult to obtain insurance at an affordable rate, if at all. Amendments in 1983 to increase the dollar amounts recoverable by plaintiffs should be adequate to satisfy any reasonable. claim. Further changes in limits beyond the current $200,000 per person and $600,000 per occurrence should not be made. Joint and several liability provisions have been modified to lessen the deep pockets effect some. The current limit of payment is times two for liability of 35% or less (i.e. if the city is 30% liabla. they may be required to pay 60% of the damage award) or total -,sponsibility if liability is over 354 (i.e. if the city is 40% liable, they may be required to pay 100% of the damage award). This still seems onerous especially when this comes out of taxpayers pockets. Payment liability should definitely not be increased. THE AM SUPPORTS THE CONTINUED EXISTENCE LIABILITY ACT AND RECOMMENDS THAT THE CURRI REMAIN INTACT. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY LIMITS SHOULD NOT BE INCREASED FROM CURRENT ARE NOT MORE UNFAIRLY SUBJECTED TO DEEP POCI II -C DATA PRIVACY AND OPEN MEETING OF THE MUNICIPAL TORT MT LIMITS OF LIABILITY PROVISIONS FOR PAYMM LAW SO THAT TAXPAYERS KET AWARDS. Data privacy laws protect individuals from the release of information to the public which the legislature has deemed to be private or which could be unnecessarily harmful to the individual. On the other hand, the open meeting law prohibits local government units from holding closed sessions except when discussing pending or actual lawsuits with an attorney or labor negotiations. Unfortunately, many occasions have arisen in post years where local units in dealing with individuals or employee disciplinary matters have been forced to either violate the Data Privacy Statutes or the Open Meeting Statute in order to fairly resolve the issue. The Minnesota Supreme Court in early 1989 apparently resolved the conflict between the two laws and did so by establishing a clear rule that when 'not public data' comes before public bodies, either the data must not be rileased or the meeting must be closed. However, the 1990 legislature overturned that decision, but in its clarification, raised more questions than existed prior to that 1989 Annandale decision. The new law allows an initial hearing to be closed, unless an individual being accused requests a public hearing, but does not provide for notice to the • -13- 330 individual. It does not say whether the name can be released. The new law provides that the data which is a basis for firing or suspension is public after final determination and that cities must use 'reasonable efforts' to protect private data. However, the law is unclear as to whether final determination is upon council action or upon completion of grievance and arbitration of the action. The time gap between council action and filing of grievance is a problem for determining what data is public or private. It does not define 'reasonable efforts' nor does it provide a method to discuss multiple charges, some of which may not be included as part of the ultimate basis for action. Finally, it is unclear as to whether or not the law is retroactive. Local officials appear to be just as much or more at risk under the new law than the old law prior, to the Annancale decision, and thus, because of the severity of punishment :should probably err by closing meetings rather than err by inadvertently violating the Data Practices Act and violating an employees right. THE AM REQUESTS THE LEGISLATURE TO MAKE THE DATA PRIVACY AND OPEN MEETING LAWS CONSISTENT SO THAT TO COMPLY WITH ONE LAW A CITY SHOULD NOT HAVE TO VIOLATE THE OTHER. FURTHER, THE ANN STRONGLY SUPPORTS LEGISLATION FAVORING DATA PRIVACY OVER OPEN MEETING WMM CONFLICTS ARISE TO PROTECT THE EMPLOYEES RIGHT OF CONFIDENTIALITY FOR PERSONAL AND PRIVATE DATA. II -D POLICE AND FIRE PENSION PROVISIONS Local police and full -time fire relief associations were phased out by the 1980 legislature, unless the local council opts to keep ttie relief association. All new employees will become part of the state police and fire PERA fund and the state will reimburse local units for a portion of the unfunded liability remaining in the local fund. The unfunded liability was projected to be paid by the year 2011 but current investment earnings are in excess of 10% and thus could, at that continued rate, reduce the time to year 2005. However, the legislature is considering siphoning earnings in excess of that needed for 2011 amortization to reduce state payments and property tax levy for unfunded liability ar well as provide a bonus (13th. paycheck) to retirees. If investment increase drops below 101, the local property taxpayers in future years will pay more, not only to pick up the property tax reduction but the state reimbursement reduction. It would be better public policy to wait until the unfunded liability is funded. Also, 1979 Law set employee contributions at 8% and the Legislative Retirement Commission has in the past established a general policy requiring public safety employees to pay 40% of the normal pension costs.

PAYCHECK) • -14- THE AMM OPPOSES I..EGISLATION USING INVESTMENT EARNINGS OF IDCAL • POLICE AND FIkE PENSION FUND:, 'THAT ARE IN EXCESS OF THAT HERDED TO AMORTIZE UNFUNDED ACCRUED LIABILITIES BY THE YEAR 2011 FOR REDUCTIONS OF STATE AMORTIZATION AID AND BONUS (13TH.

THE EXCESS EARNINGS SHOULD BE USED TO FULLY AMORTIZE UNFUNDED ACCRI`ED LIABILITY AND ONLY THEN SHOULD ANY CONSIDERATION BE GIVEN TO !ED BENEFITS. • • D-2 EMPLOYEE CONTRIBTPION AMOUNT EVEN THOUGH THE EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT WAS SET AT 88, IN MANY FUNDS THIS IS NOT EQUIVALENT TO 40% OF THE NORMAL COSTS. THE AMM URGES THAT THE CONTRIBUTION LEVEL BE SET AT 408 OF THE NORMAL COST OF FINANCING THE BENEFITS EVEN IF THIS AMOUNT EXCEEDS 8% OF BASE SALARY. ANY INCREASE IN BENEFITS FOR CURRENT EMPLOYEES INCLUDING ANY RESULTING DEFICIT, SHOULD BE FINANCED 50% BY THE EMPLOYING CITY AND 50% BY EMPLOYEES ON A CURRENT BASIS. II -E OPPOSE REDUCTION OF AUTHORITY OR LOCAL CONTROL The AMM has for many years opposed certain statutory changes that erode local authority or mandate activities which cost money to implement without provision to recover those costs. Rather than adopt a separate policy for each issue, the AMM believes that as general policy the legislature should not decrease current authority or mandate activities creating a cost without corresponding funding or an overwhelming obvious demonstration of need. Included in this general policy is opposition to mandates such as; state or metropolitan licensing of tree treatment contractors, plumbing inspections by licensed plumbers only, and requiring competitive bidding for land sales.

The key to a successful is er:s r sty m will be the ability to enforce the standards. problem that needs to be addressed is the loss of r :..f *= cities but continuation of a local administrative will cost money.

II-G OONIRACTORB PERFORMANCE BONDS The 1989 legislature modified Minnesota Statutes 574.26 to allow contractors to provide a letter of credit instead of a performance bond for contracts of less than $50,000. This is an improvement but still will create significant hardship with many reputable small contractors. In todays market, projects in excess of $50,000 are very common and are not really large jobs. The emphasis should be in protecting the public. THE 1 URM THE LEGISLATURE TO PROVIDE GREATER FLEXIBILITY IN CDV=r'I+ON GUARANTEES FOR CITIES BY ALLOWING IN ADDITION TO BONDS, On= MIMMS FINANCIAL SECURITY GUARANTEES, SUCH AS LETTERS OF CREDIT, WITHOUT LIMITATION AS TO PROJECT COSTS. II -H POLICE OFFICER STANDARDS AND TRAINING - RECRUITMENT Current POST rules require at least a two year degree in law enforcement to be eligible to become a peace officer. This is somewhat restrictive in that it does not allow for College degreed persons to make a career change without returning to school for significant added course work. The current applicants tend to lack maturity that may be desireable to blend into police departments. Since the adoption of uniform standards of training and licensing for police officers in 1978 many positive changes have been ride to allow a wide range of people to qualify to be police officers in Minnesota. However, one area is still a significant problem, protected class recruitment, specifically Black and }iispanic minorities. Because of the education requirements, people mast decide or be recruited early in the post secondary education time frame, to qualify in police work. Neither POST nor cities are in the position of being able to induce or recrui_ people into the appropriate educational track at the appropria•t:e time and the University /College system is not doing so either. Therefore, protested class hiring is very difficult. one area that has been overlooked is Military Police, who are trained police p4rsonnei but may lack the required academics. • -16- 333 THE AISX ENCOURAGES THE POST BOARD TO CONSIDER ALLOWING PERSONS WITH COLLEGE DEGREES OR OTHER APPROPRIATE EDUCATION AND MILITARY POLICE PERSONNEL TO BECOME PEACE OFFICERS WITH SOME ADDITIONAL LAW RELATED COURSE WCRK THAT CAN BE ATTAINED THROUGH PRE EMPLOYMENT PART -TIME EFFORT OR DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF FULL TINE PEACE OFFICER EMPLOYMENT. THIS DOES NOT AFFECT THE SKILLS COURSE REQUIREMENTS. II -I STATE AGENCY RULE MAKING Legislation is needed to assure that municipalities are informed of proposed rules when they are initiated by State Agencies to assure a more meaningful appraisal of their impact upon local government. State agencies now are required to only publish notice of proposed rules in the State Register which is not in general circulation and which is available to local governments only by subscription, whereas, State law mandates that local governments publish notice of a variety of activities in legal newspapers and mail notices to potentially affected parties. State agencies are not required to notify local governments when rules are proposed that have direct impact upon and directly involve the local governments. The current law also allows the agencies to decide that proposed rules are "non- controversial" and thereby negate the requirements for a Public Hearing. The decision that a proposed rule is "non - controversial" may be overridden only if 25 pe -sons file a notice with the agency that a Public Hearing is desired. The law requires agencies to wake a finding as to the cost the proposed rules would have for other units of government; this process does not require the solicitation of input from the other units of government, but, rather, is left to the agency itself. The cost threshold for "non- controversial" is an overall dollar amount that does not consider that the cost could be very sir;ni.ficant for some units. TV AMM REQUESTS LEGISLATION THAT WOULD REQUIRE DIRECT NOTIFICATION FOR PROPOSED AGENCY RULES IF THERE IS IMPACT OF ANY FINANCIAL NATURE REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT. ALSO, THAT AGENCIES BE REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH AN OPEN PROCESS TO SEEK INPUT FROM AFFECTED GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES PRIOR TO DECLARING A PROPOSED RULE "NON CONTROVERSIAL" THUS BYPASSING FORMAL PUBLIC HEARING. II -J SHADE TREE DISEASE CONTROL PROGRAM Starting in 1977 the legislature made a strong commitment to • -17- 334 control Dutch Elm and Oak Wilt tree diseases by enacting an excellent Shade Tree Disease Control. program and backing that legislatioc with sufficient funding to bring the diseases under control. However, due to lack of finiicing in the most recent 40 past, thatch Elm disease is once :.Iain spreading rapidly as it ;has in other areas of the country when finan7ial commitment has stopped. Therefore, the AMM urges the 'legislature Lo: CONTINUE THE SFADE TREE DISEASE CONTROL LEG SLATIUN WITH NO C'HANGtS AND TO PERMIT CITIES TO USE SPECIAL LEVIES, SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS, AND OTHER SOURCES TO F1`9 LOCAL COIC - LROL PROGRAMS. II -K CONCURRENT DETACHMENT AND AN'NEXAT'ION Prior to 1985 the changing of municipal boundaries initiated by property owners was limited to the single case where their property was totally surrounded by another community. The 1985 le -iislation opened the possibility up to all property owners to initiata such action. This broad based allowance is problematic in some instances because of the City expense and intercity divisiveness that it causes. IT 18 THE POLICY OF THE AMM THAT THE PROVISION ALLOWING PROPERTY OWNERS TO PETITION FOR ANNEXATION BE MODIFIED TO ALLOW PETITIONING UNDER ANY OF THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA. --"1'HE PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE BEEP r - IIIED A REASONABLE USE OF THEIR LAND WHICH IS CONSISTENT WI AND ALLOWED UNDER TH" CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING ORDINANCi.

State 13.41 is not clear as to the inclusion of cities, therefore, it is unclear whether all or part of thq information on license issuance is public. This cal be a real problem when issuing liquor licenses, since part of the data concerns sensitive business and personal finances. THE AMM ENCOURAGES THE LEGISLATURE TO CLARIFY THAT POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS OF THE STATE INCLUDING CITIES ARE LICENSING AGENCIES IN MINN. STATUTES 13.41 AND THAT FINANCIAL DATA OF A PERSON OR BUSINESS SUBMITTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN APPLICATION FOR A LIQUOR LICENSE OR OBTAINED AS A RESULT OF :.N INVESTIGATION OF THE APPLICANT OR LICENSEE SHALL BE CLASSIFIED AS PRIVATE. L -2 GENERAL PUBLIC DATA -J.9- 334 The Government Data Practices Act allows municipalities to charge the actual costs of searching for, retrieving, and copying public data if conies of the data are requested. The law prohibits municipaliiies from charging the costs of searching for and retrieving data if a person asks only to inspoct it. In many cases, the searching and retrieving are the most time - consuming aspects of supplying data. Making a copy is frequently only a small portion of the time required and should not be the standard for determining whether a charge is appropriate. Profit- making enterprises have used this free service to augment their businesses. For example, individuals have established businesses for preparing special assessment searches. Personnel from these businesses use city facilities, including expensive computer equipment, to obtain the special assessment data. The personnel may also take significant amounts of staff time for explanations of the data collected. They then dominate the publicly provided telephone for lengthly periods to transmit the information obta=ned. These businesses use city facilities and personnel as part of a Profit- making enterprise, solely at taxpayer expensa. Municipalit., shovid be allowed to charge for retrieving and explaininc - bl...: ,rha whether or not the request includes copying. The law also prohibits municipalities from charging for separating public from non - public data. This task may be very time - consuming and is necessary to protect the non - public data. Municipalities should be allowed to charge for this service. To preserve the Act's spirit and intent of keeping government records open to inspection for public purposes, the new charges proposed would not apply to the media or to private citizens r:nquesting information about themselves or Lheir own properties. THE AMM ENCOURAGES THE LEGISLATURE TO AMEND MINN. STAT. 13.03, SUBD. 3 TO ALLOW MUNICIPALITIES TO CHARGE FOR RETRIEVING AND EXPLAINING PUBLIC DATA AND FOR SEPARATING PUBLIC FROM NON- PUBLIC DATA. THIS AMENDMENT WOULD NOT APPLY, HOWEVER, TO THE MEDIA OR TO PRIVATE CITIZENS REQUESTING INFORMATION ABOUT THEMSELVES OF THEIR OWN PROPERTIES. U -20- 377 • III HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND LAND USE PAGE 21 THROUGH 34 1 7-� 3638 III HOUSING, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND LAND USE III -A. HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOODS The housing problek for persons currently unable to afford market o rate housing can only be mitigated if all levels of government and the private sector including non - profit groups work together and if each contributes a fair share to the solution. Each level of government should contribute to help solve the problem and each level's contributions should be of the kind it is best suited to make. The Federal arid/or State Levels should continue to provide the direct subsidies for housing for low and moderate income persons. The Federal and State Governments also have the responsibility to provide a tax climate in which the private sector can produce and maintain rental units that are affordable to low and moderate income households. The State should also grant local unita of government the authority and flexibility to conduct the kind of housing programs that best meets their diverse needs. The Metropolitan Council should continue to place high priority on housing planning for the Metropolitan Area and provide specific guidance to the public and private sectors so that both can make rational decisions relative to future housing needs. The Council should --ontinue to be aggressive in seeking innovative ways to create housing opportunities for low income persons. Local units of Government also have a major role to play. Local controls constitute but a small portion of the total cost of housing but local units should not establish requirements which go beyond what is necessary for the protection of health, safety and welfare. Local units should also work with the private and non - profit sectors to make the best use of existing tools to produce affordable housing which is more affordable. Decision makers at all levels must bee more cognizant of their actions, policies, and decisions which have an undesirable impact on housing costs. A -1. EXAMINE LOCAL REQUIREMENTS. Local requirements, if ey essive, can add to the cost of producing affordable housing. COMMUNITIES SHOULD EXAMINE THEIR LOCAL REQUIREMENTS (LAND USE REGULATIONS, SUBDIVISION ORDINANCES, ETC.) TO ASSURE THAT THESE REQUIREMENTS DO NOT GO BEYOND WHAT IS NECESSARY FOR THE PROTECTION OF HEALTH, SAFETY. AND WELFARE, AND INHIBIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING. MODIFICATIONS SHOULD BE MADE Withfi APPROPRIATE. NO LEGISLATIVE INITIATIVE NEEDED. A -2. PRACTICES WHICH EFeECT HOUSING COSTS. -21- • 331 Decision makers at all levels of government must become more cognizant of actions they take which have an impact on housing costs. These actions in themselves may be worthwhile and beneficial, but whin implemented result in increased housing costs. Examples of this type of action would include such things as the sewer availability charge, restricted growth policies, building and energy codes, environmental rules, etc. ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT SHOULD EXAMINE THEIR PRACTICES AND POLICIES TO DETERMINE POSSIBLE UNNECESSARY IMPACTS ON HOUSING COSTS. CHANGES SHOULD BE MADE AS NECESSARY. A -I. MANDATORY LAND USE STANDARDS. Uniform standards for housing style, type and size are not appropriate because of the great diversity among cities and differences within cities relative to density of development, topography, age of housing stock, the mix of housing values, and the level of municipal services which are provided. Land use regulation is one of the tools used by city officials to protect the health, safety, welfare, and interests of the city's residents. THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD NOT PASS LEGISLATION WHICH MANDATES UNIFORM ZONING AND SUBDIVISION STANDARDS OR WHICH REMOVES ADDITIONAL LAND USE REGULATION AUTHORITY FROM LOCAL UNITS OF GOVERNMENT. CITIES SHOULD RETAIN THE AUTHORITY TO REGULATE THE LOCATION, SIZE, AMOUNT, AND TYPE OF HOUSING WITHIN THEIR BOUNDARIES. NO LEGISLATIVE INITIATIVE NEEDED. A -4. STATE AND REGIONAL HOUSING POLICIES. The State should develop an overall State Housing Policy and provide the necessary tools for implementation. The Legislature needs to provide for financing strategies which will carry nut the long range goals for providing and maintaining affordable housing opportunities. The State Housing Policy should enable and assist local and metropolitan governments, private and non - profit developers to initiate affordable housing. Local governments should participate in the formulation of state and metropolitan housing policy which will he used to support local housing goals. THE AMM RECOMMENDS THAT THE STATE ESTABLISH A STATE HOUSING POLICY AND THAT THE RESOURCES NEEDED TO IMPLEMENT THAT POLICY BE DESIGNATED. SEVERAL STATE FINANCING SOURCES SHOULD BE CONSIDERED, INCLUDING: * STATE APPROPRIATIONS • STATE BONDING • -22•• 40 * STATE GAMBLING REVENUE * INCREASED MORTGAGE DEED TAX THE STATE SHOULD CONSIDER CONSOLIDATING SMALLER PROGRAM ACTIVITIES TOGETHER WITH ANY NEW REVENUES WITH THE HOUSING TRUST FUND. DISTRIBUTION COULD THEN BE BASED ON STATE PRIORITIES AND COULD BE MADE DIRECTLY TO CITIES. THE STATE SHOULD ALSO CONSIDER THE USE OF STATE TAX POLICY TO BENEFIT THE MAINTENANCE AND DEVELOPMENT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING. F EXAMPLE OF THIS WOULD BE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A STATE LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT. THE ANN RECOMMENDS THAT THE PROPERTY TAX SYSTEM NOT BE USED TO FUND STATE AND METROPOLITAN GOALS. LOCAL PARTICIPATION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF STATE POLICIES IS CRITICAL FOR THE LONG TERM IMPLEMENTATION OF THE HOUSING GOALS. A -5 FEDERAL HOUSING POLICY The Federal Government has a broader and more diverse tax base than state and local governments. For this reason, the Federal Government should provide the necessary funding to fulfill its housing policy commitments to very low income persons beyond the funding reach of state and local governments. THE ANN SUPPORTS CONGRESS'S EFFORT TO ADOPT HOUSING LEGISLATION WHICH WILL INCREASE FUNDING LEVELS FOR THE PROVISION OF AFFORDABLE . HOUSING. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT FUNDING IN THE FORM OF GRANTS BE PROVIDED TO CITIES IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THE NEEDS OF THOSE PERSONS REQUIRING ASSISTED HOUSING (VERY LOW INCOME). THIS SHOULD INCLUDE: - THE RENOVATION AND REHABILITATION OF SUBSTANDARD HOUSING - INCENTIVES THAT WOULD ENCOURAGE OWNERS NOT TO OPT OUT OF SECTION 8 CONTRACTS - CONTINUED AND INCREASED SUBSIDY PROGRAM - CONTINUED AND INCREASED FUNDING OF THE SECTION 8 RENT FUNDING OF SECTION 202 PROGRAM A -6 LOCAL HOUSING POLICY There is a great diversity among cities in the metropolitan area. Some cities need more housing for low income persons while other cities need housing for moderate to upper income persons. Cities should have the authority to promote whichever kind of housing is in the public purpose and best interest of the particular city and is consistent with the regional housing policy. Cities need to have a greater flexibility in financing their housing goals if they are to meet the intent of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act. :7 -23-- ,391 CITIES SHOULD BE GRANTED SUFFICIENT AUTHORITY AND FLEXIBILITY BY THE LEGISLATURE TO CONDUCT AND FINANCE HOUSING PROGRAMS THAT MEET . THEIR INDIVIDUAL HOUSING NEEDS. LOCAL FUNDS CAN BE USED TO LEVERAGE FEDERAL, STATE AND METROPOLITAN RESOURCES WHEN THEY CAN MEET COMMON POLICY GOALS. IT IS NECESSARY TO EXPAND FINANCIAL RESOURCES AVAILABLE AT TPE LOCAL LEVEL. THIS COULD INCLUDE: - THE REMOVAL OF SOME OF THE LIMITATIONS ON THE USE OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCING FOR HOUSING - REMOVAL OF CITY AND HOUSING AUTHORITY LEVY LIMITS - ALLOW FOR SPECIAL IMPACT FEES - SPECIAL LEVIES FOR HOUSING - REINSTATE THE STATE DEED AND MORTGAGE TRANSFER TAX EXEMPTION FOR PUBLIC AGENCIES - USING THE PROPERTY TAX SYSTEM TO PROVIDE INCENTIVES FAR LOW INCOME HOUSING A -7 HOUSING IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA Rental housing, which makes up approximately 35% of the housing units in the metropolitan region, plays an important role in the metropolitan housing market. Traditionally, rental units have provided an affordable housing option for singles, young adults, young married families, students and the elderly. Many of which were low and moderate income households. Recent studies completed is by the Metropolitan Council are showing demographic changes that are likely to have broad impacts on the housing characteristics of many cities. The long term implications could find many communities with: * a low demand for its existing rental stock * an aging housing stock in need of rehabilitation * a decreasing demand for new housing * a loss of equity for homeowners * a declining property base caused by decreased valuation from lower income rents and decreased property maintenance * a change in household composition * a potential loss of subsidized housing stock * a general slowing of the region's growth rate THE AMM RECOMMENDS THAT CITIES CAREFULLY LOOK AT THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS THESE DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS MIGHT HAVE ON THEIR HOUSING STOCK AND BECOME INVOLVED F:ITH ALL IDCAL AND REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS TO SUCCESSFULLY ADDRESS THE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THE MARKET FORCES THAT WILL REQUIRE CITIES TO ADDRESS THE METROPOLITAN NATURE OF THESE ISSUES. THE ANN SUPPORTS THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL'S TASK FORCE ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE DIRECTION IN ADDRESSING THESE METROPOLITAN HOUSING -24- JVZ, ISSUES. A -8 NEIGHBORHOOD LIVEABILITY Rapidly evolving social, demographic, economic changes are converging on many cities creating exceed their capacity to deal effectively with environments. and behavorial new challenges that their new The challenges cities face, such as deteriorating neighborhoods, crime, and drugs, need the cooperative efforts of public private and business interests to solve. Cities have expanded public safety, inspection, and health programs; have aggressively repaired and replaced infrastructure; ie., replaced streets and public utility lines; have removed diseased trees, redeveloped parks, refurbished or replaced neighborhood civic facilities; and have developed programs to assist low and moderate income families, yet problems continue to grow. Cities should take the lead in developing local and regional strategies that will assist them in dealing with growing neighborhood problems. These strategies should includ? the following major categories: 1. Physical and structural deterioration of the neighborhood. 2. Social welfare of the neighborhood. 3. Educational opportunities. PHYSICAL AND STRUCTURAL DETERIORATION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. a. Cities need to evaluate the demographic impact on their housing stock and plan for future rehabilitation or reuse. The demographic impacts may include declining home values, delayed or non - maintenance of housing stock, foreclosed or abandoned housing and the changing of neighborhood character (i.e. An owner base to a tenant base). In a metropolitan area these forces go beyond a city's boundary and may require a more metropolitan view to try to resolve the causes of the problems. b. Cities need to plan for continued upgrading of public facilities (i.e. streets, utilities, parks) even in the face of declining values. This may require statutory authority beyond existing authority. Cities need to plan for regulatory enforcement at levels needed to maintain neighborhood quality. If a strong level of enforcement is provided up front it can be an effective relatively low lost long term -25- • • • 343 strategy for maintaining neighborhood quality. • d. Cities need to plan for and encourage neighborhood resident's participation in the preservation of the city's neighborhoods. Neighborhood pride can become one of the strongest tools that cities can tap into, provided that other resources are in place that can provide the means by which this energy can focus. e. Cities need to expand their resource base and plan for the targeting of resources to accomplish their long -term strategy for neighborhood preservations. Expanding this resource base will require coordinated efforts at the federal, state, regional and local level. f. Cities need to strengthen their ability to take appropriate legal actions in a swift manner to eliminate deteriorating structures in a neighborhood. Lengthy ;rocedures accelerate damaging impacts blighted structures have on a neighborhood. This should include the expanding use of the housing court to allow for action on single family dwellings and for City code enforcement. g. Cities need to plan for and encourage neighborhood resident "s participation in recreational pursuits and activities. Along with the appropriate public facilities for recreation and leisure, there needs to be organized programs and activities to make the best use of these facilities. SOCIAL WELFARE OF NEIGHBORHOODS: a. Cities need to evaluate those social issues that directly impact the liveability in a neighborhood (aging, child care, transportation, job training, domestic abuse, etc.) and plan for long -range systems that will strengthen the liveability of neighborhoods. b. Cities need to become more familiar with the social welfare system and work closely with state and county agencies to emphasize the need of stabilizing neighborhoods and the family units within those neighborhoods. c. Cities need to strengthen the cooperation of individuals and families within the neighborhood to support city initiatives dealing with crime and drug awareness, public health issues (i.e. garbage houses, -26- 34� animal infestation, etc.) and domestic abuse. d. Cities need that will transportatia lack of these low income neighborhood. to plan for services to allow for affordable m and job opportunities. services has the greatest and elderly households neighborhoods . day care, The impact of impact on the within any e. Cities need to develop programs and /or participate in the development of state and regional programs to lesson the impact that poverty has on the destabilisation of a neighborhood. These programs are needed to deal with the broad range of issues rather than one specific activity and can be tailor -made to address a problem by linking activities together (i.e. rent, mortgage assistance or tax breaks tied to rehabilitation loans; rent assistance tied to child care; job training and transportation assistance, etc.). EDUCRTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES: a. Cities need to encourage, participate in and strengthen the school systems community education outreach programs. These programs provide an opportunity to coordinate school and city efforts to strengthen the liveability of neighborhoods. b. Cities need to work within the education process by providing early childhood education on problems cities face in dealing with social impact on neighborhood liveability. c. Cities need to work closely with secondary and post secondary education systems to encourage job training programs. Such programs can help solve neighborhood problems (i.e. work study with forestry, rehabilitation, maintenance, etc. which will give work experience by providing opportunities in the neighborhoods). THE AMN WILL SUPPORT LEGISLATIVE INITIATIVES THAT PROVIDE CITIES WITH THE NECESSARY TOOLS, FUNDING AND PROGRAMS TO HELP STRENGTHEN AND PRESERVE NEIGHBORHOODS. THE ANN ALSO BELIEVES THAT A HOLISTIC APPROACH IS NEEDED TO SOLVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD DETERIORATION PROBLEM AND WILL REQUIRE THE COOT .RATION AND INVOLVEMENT OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, HUMAN SERVICES AGENCIES, PRIVATE NON - PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN ADDITION TO CITY RESOURCES. -27- • 345' A -9 STATE LICENSED RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES (GROUP HOMES) The ANN believes that persons with disabilities are entitled to live in the least restrictive possible environment and should have a range of residential choices throughout the state. The AMM also believes that residential based facilities (i.e. Group Homes) should not be concentrated. Over- concentration of such facilities could have a negative impact on the community and the facility residents. Recent amendments to the Federal Fair Housing Act may have an impact on the State's ability to regulate residential based facilities, but the extent of such impact is not known as yet. However, the AMM believes that the principles ccntained in this policy are very appropriate and any state legislation pursued should not conflict with the AMM principles. The residents of residential based facilities come from our communities and the AMM believes that cities as one of the major institutions of our society have a responsibility to be a part of the solution by welcoming such facilities on a fair share and rational basis. The AMM believes that cities have a responsibility to be part of the solution, but it also believes that the state has the major responsibility to assure that the residents living in residential based facilities eeceive care and supervision appropriate to the extent of their disability. The state's deinstitutionalization policy is directly linked to the need for more residential based care facilities in our cities and the state has the responsibility to provide sufficient funding to assure adequate care and supervision of the residents placed in such facilities. The state also has the responsibility to notify a city when such a facility is licensed so that the city is prepared to deal with emergencies that might occur in such a facility. 'the AMM also believes that the state has an obligation to screen clients, particularly in the corrections area, so that persons placed in residential based facilities are not a danger to themselves, fellow residents, or the community. THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING PRINCIPLES WHEN DEALING WITH THE ISSUES OF DEINSTITUTIONALIZATION AND RESIDENTIAL BASED FACILITIES: -THERE MUST BE TIMELY NOTIFICATION TO CITIES WHEN A RESIDENTIAL FACILITY LICENSE IS REQUESTED TO BE ISSUED OR RENEWED IN ORDER TO. PROVIDE THE CITY ADEQUATE OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND. -STEPS MUST BE TAKEN TO AVOID THE CLUSTERING OF COMKUNITY RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES ATTRIBUTABLE TO ECONOMIC, GEOGRAPHIC OR PROGRAMMATIC EXPEDIENCE. STANDARDS OF NON CONCENTRATION FOR THE STATE OR FOR COUNTY - ISSUED RFP'S SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED. IN ADDITION, FINANCIAL INCENTIVE PROGRAMS FOR PROVIDERS LOCATING IN C7 -28- 341 MM- CMCENTOATED AREAS SHOULD BE EXPLORED. -THERE MUST BE ADEQUATE STATE FUNDING SO THAT Ti':: RESIDENTS ON THESE FACILITIES RECEIVE PROPER CARE AND SUPERVIS' --N. -THM MST BB A REALISTIC ONGOING SCkEENING PROCESS TO ASSURE THAT PERSONS PLACED IN A RESIDENTIAL FACILITY WILL BENEFIT FROM SUCH ISVING ENVIRONMENT AND WILL NOT BE A DANGER TO THElM.SF:LVES OR OTHERS. THE LICENSING AUTHORITY MUST BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REMOVING ANY PERSONS FOUND INCAPABLE OF CONTINUING IN SUCH ENVIRONMENT. - FACILITIES LICENSED BY THE CORRECTIONS DEPARTMENT SHOULD NOT BE EXBMp'1' FROMI REASOMApLE LOCAL LAND USE REGULATIONS. -ANY LEGISLATION EFFECTING LAND USE CONTROLS SHOULD BE EXPRESSED IN TEUMIMOIM CONSISTENT WITH LOCAL LAND USE CONTROLS. -A FAIR SHARE CONCEPT AND FORMUTA SHOULD BE CONSIDERED WITHIN THE METROPOLITAN AREA, BUT SUCH CONCEPT AND FOR14ULA MUST BE COGNIZANT OF OTHER FACTORS INCLUDING TRANSPORATION FACILITIES, JOBS AVAILABILITY, AND OTHER NEEDED SUPPORT SERVICES. III -B ECOMMOMMIC DEVELOPMENT Cities have an interest in the maintenance of and appropriate enhancements to the economic base of their respective communities. It is the comuunity's economic base which provides; a.) the tax base and other revenue sources whi -h support the general operations of citites, counties and school districts; b.) the employment of some or a substantial number of residents and, c.) the means by which the populous is housed. All Metropolitan communities address economic development when its translated to physical development through their local land use regulations with the individual communities striving for "orderly development ". As a group however, Metropolitan communities differ as to development needs and view points, with each community's needs subject to a number of variables. A municipality's ability to both regulate and promote economic development is based on authority established by other organizations and regulations. It ?.s this ability tnat is of general interest to all Metropolitan communities. The Association of Metropolitan Municipalities (AMM) is the principal policy action group acting on behalf of its member cities. As such it is appropriate that AMM present the policy issues and concerns to -29- 397 those organizations that set the rules. 0 Because of divergent economies, differing needs and diverging viewpoints between Metropolitan Minnesota and Greater Minnesota there is a need to ensure that the means of economic development available to AMM member cities axe appropriate to their needs and that economic development efforts of others are complementary to and not at the expense of member cities. As noted economic development for local governments is not just a matter of more tax base for the community but entails tools to promote, regulate and service the development. Promotional means include Housing and Redevelopment Authorities, Economic Development Authorities, Port Authorities, tax increment financing, revenue and general obligation bonds, condemnation and the Star Cities Program. Regulation includes its comprehensive planning and land use functions. Servicing include water, sewer, streets and other municipal serv,.ces. TRANSPORTATION AS A KEY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ELEMENT Transportation, not only streets and highways but mass transit, rail and air are all key elements in the economic development picture of a community. While infrastructuve issues such as water and sewer are to some degree issues for one or two governmental entities, transportation systems involves the entire gammet from the local municipality through the federal government. Additionally it is more than just an infrastructure issue. Concerns as to where highways were to be planned was a significant issue raised in the formation of the Metropolitan Council and a rationale for passing the Fiscal Disparities Act in 1973. The transportation issue has come to the forefront in the last few years as major highways and interstate links have aged, existing routes have volumes exceeding capacity and federal and state funding has not kept pace with needs. This has been further highlighted by using a previous highway funding source the sales tax /MVET to help balance the State general fund. This has resulted in cuts and delays in projects throughout the state. With economically depressed areas di—,' inding more funding to improve their economic attractivene:;s to businesses and economically successful areas needing funding to keep pace with expansion, the issue of funding has become very divisive between Metro and Greater Minnesota. A balanced and an efficient, well maintained transportation system, including the before ment.ioned components; is a necessity so as not to retard economic development.

III -C LAND USX PLANNING Land use regulation by cities in the Metropolitan Area has been governed by the Municipal Planning Act (MS 462) and the Metropolitan Land Planning Act (MS 473). While not a perfect framework, these acts have worked well for the vast majority of cities in the metropolitan area. Land use control for cities is more than just one of the many powers and occupies a significant part of the work of city councils and their staff. It has a significant impact on other community regulations, tax base, economic development and redevelopment. It is a driving force for -33- r-, 3sr ..Ry , cN a „J ainQ service needs. Land use regulation is the canon thread edr "M through *ost of a city's functions and operationso legislation sponsored by the Gavernor*s Advisory Committee on tt* local - relations (ACSLRQ and introduced in the last three scions would have substantially altered the overall land use control framework including: 1. Diluting the authority of local elected officials thereby reducing local accountability, 2« Establishing a new legal framework which would render hoot such of the existing case law and existing codes and ordinances. r ` 3. Leaving out significant aspects of present law which allows local officials the discretion to manage development in their cities. � . The proposals may have been well intentioned in attempting to OV"te unifo land use rules for counties, towns, and cities rather than the present diverse enabling laws. However, the a►antages of such uniformity to metropolitan area cities, did not outweigh disadvantages caused by the loss of city flexibility in achieving uniformity nor did the proposals adequately address the Interface between the state act and the Metropolitan Land Planning Act. While the special AM Task Force created to deal with the AML'k proposals identified the concerns listed previously, it did' t0c"nise seas positive features contained therein and the AM would Support some changes to existing law.

As part of the grant request process, the Council and the 0 A In order to safeguard the public health and the environment it is necessary to plan and manage our eater resources as a valuable state and metropolitan resource. Most Water Management Organisations (WHO's), cities, and tovns are doing a good job of healing with surface and groundwater management issues and seem to be the most logical entities to have such responsibility. These existing mechanisms should continue to be used to the greatest extent possible to address surface and groundwater management problems, instead of establishing a new system or creating new organizations. Local units of government should retain the basic responsibility for surface water management as they are the level of government closest to the problem but they need the financial resources and tools to implement this responsibility.

CJlL XNrM T "M HIM Dolly XV"_ The problem of managing the waste stream (for all types of waste is and will continue to be one of the major social environmental problems daring this decade. we are rapidly running out of space (capacity for land disposal) in the metropolitan area and there are no general disposal facilities in 1 this state for hazardous Waste. We are also learning that for many materials incineration may not be a good environmental alternative to landfill disposal. The existing waste management system centralizes responsibility at the state level for hazardous waste but requires the cooperation and support of all levels of government and the private sector. The solid waste system for the metropolitan area is essentially a three tiered system: cities control and regulate collection; counties.are responsible for •siting new landfills, developing abatement plans, developing processing facilities and regulating existing landfills; and the Metropolitan Council provides grants and has regional planning and coordinating responsibilities. The systems were intended to foster and encourage abatement, recycling and resource recovery for as much of the waste stream as possible and then to assure environmentally sound disposal for the remaining waste. In spite of a great deal of cooperation and coordination among and between the various levels and units of goverment and the private sector, some major problems appear on the horizon. While such has been accomplished during the past decade in improving the waste stream management system. Much remains to be done and any future legislation should take into account the following precepts. 0 3L 1 -42- +LEGISLATION SHOULD BE INITIATED TO REQUIRE PACKAGING TO MEET RECYCLED CONTENT STANDARDS AND /OR RECYLABILITY, DEFINED AS RECOVERY RATRS, STANDARDS. +ESTABLISH STATE REGULATIONS WHICH ENCOURAGES BEVERAGE AND FOOD RETAILERS TO HAVE A DEPOSIT AND RETURN PROCESS IN PLACE FOR REUSABLE AND RETURNABLE CONTAINERS. +LEGISLATION SHOULD BE INITIATED TO REGULATE THE SALE, DISTRIBUTION, AND DISPOSAL OF NON RECYCLABLE, NON RETURNABLE, AND NON DEGRADABLE PACKAGING MATERIALS. FEES OR DEPOSITS ON THESE ITEMS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. -THE ANN OPPOSES ANY LEGISLATION WHICH WOULD LIMIT FOCAL INITIATIVES IN WASTE STREAM MANAGEMENT UNLESS AN OVERALL STATE OR METROPLITAN WIDE SYSTEM IS ESTABLISHED WHIV'H ACCOMPLISHES THE SAME GOAL OR OBJECTIVE. -THE AMM SUPPORTS COMPOSTING AS A TECHNIQUE FOR REUSE OF n -43- V4;L To achieve such a system, all elements of the waste management hierarchy (reduction, reuse, recycling, composting, incineration, landfilling) must be utilized. Further, it must be realized that an effective "system" begins before xaterials become "waste* and, as such, a comprehensive view of the entire life cycle of products €t is needed in order to succeed. -TRE AM ENDORSES THE CONCEPT THAT SINCE GOVERNMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SOLID VROM DISPOSAL, IT HAS A LEGITIMATE INTEREST in BRING aF I IN Vii. VIM STREAM MANAGEMENT. THIS I,IM THAT WVM M XTOS INTEREST BEGINS BEFORE MATERIALS BECOME "WASTE." AM ENDORSES A WASTE MANAGEMENT HIERARCHY WHICH INCLUDES REDUCTION, REUSE, RECYCLING, COMPOSTING, INCINERATION AND LANDFILLING. FURTHER, A COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEM MUST INCLUDE A MIXTURE OF ALL THESE ELEMENTS AND SHOULD NOT RELY SOLELY ON ANY ONE ELEMENT. THE AM ENCOURAGES MORE ATTENTION BE GIVEN TO THE ALTERNATIVES OF REDUCTION, REUSE AND RECYCLING BY ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT. STATE SHOULD FUND THE DEVELOPIENT AND I"IM NTATION OF AN EDUCATION PROGRAM, WHICH ACTIVELY ENCOURAGES CITIZENS TO RECYCLE, CPOST, REUSE AND REDUCE WASTE GENERATION. +LEGISLATION SHOULD BE INITIATED TO REQUIRE PACKAGING TO MEET RECYCLED CONTENT STANDARDS AND /OR RECYLABILITY, DEFINED AS RECOVERY RATRS, STANDARDS. +ESTABLISH STATE REGULATIONS WHICH ENCOURAGES BEVERAGE AND FOOD RETAILERS TO HAVE A DEPOSIT AND RETURN PROCESS IN PLACE FOR REUSABLE AND RETURNABLE CONTAINERS. +LEGISLATION SHOULD BE INITIATED TO REGULATE THE SALE, DISTRIBUTION, AND DISPOSAL OF NON RECYCLABLE, NON RETURNABLE, AND NON DEGRADABLE PACKAGING MATERIALS.

GIVEN THE PROHIBITION ON LANDFILLING YARDWASTE, RESIDENTS`, AND REFUSE HAULERS NEED TO BE IMMEDIATELY PROVIDED WITH CONVENIENT U)CATIONS TO DEPOSIT BRUSH AND OTHER YARDWASTES FOR PROCESSING. COUNTIES WITH ASSISTANCE FROM THE STATE OR METROPOLITAN COUNCIL SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOCATING AND OPERATING GOMpOSITING FACILITIES AND MUST NOT DELEGATE THIS RESPONSIBILITY TO CITIES WHICH DO NOT WISH TO OPERATE SUCH FACILITIES. MINOR CHANGES MAY BE NEEDED IN THE EXISTING OVERIDE PROCESS TO ENABLE COUNTIES TO SITE THESE TYPES OF FACILIIIES. I -2 HAZARDOUS AND DANGEROUS WASTE MANAGEMENT The improper disposal of hazardous wastes, through landfilling or incineration, poses a major risk of water and air pollution. Much has been done to monitor the generation and proper disposal of hazardous waste by basiness and industry, and these efforts should continue. However, the reduction, control and proper disposal of household hazardous wastes is a significant concern which needs to be addressed. (A.) HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE. THE AM SUPPORTS A STATE -WIDE PROGRAM TARGETED TO THE REDUCTION AND PROPER MANAGEMENT OF HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTES, INCLUDING: PERMANENT DROP OFF OR DISPOSAL SITES - STRATEGICALLY AND CONVENIENTLY LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE STATE WHERE ALL TYPES OF HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTES CAN BE TAKEN FOR PROPER HANDLING, PROCESSING, OR DISPOSAL. - EDUCATIONAL AND POINT -OF -SALE INFORMATION FOR CONSUMERS NOTIFYING THEN OF THE HAZARDOUS NATURE OF CERTAIN PRODUCTS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER HANDLING. - INVOLVEMENT OF THE GENERATORS (RETAILERS) IN THE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTES TO HELP ASSURE PROPER HANDLING AND PROCESSING. - INFORMATION TO CONSUMERS ALERTING THEM TO NON - HAZARDOUS SUBSTITUTES FOR HAZARDOUS HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS. - ENCOURAGEMENT WhXH COULD INCLUDE INCENTIVES TO MANUFACTURES TO PRO LESS HAZARDOUS PRODUCTS FOR USE IN HOUSEHOLDS. THE TOP PRIORITY OF THE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IS TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT PRODUCED. (B.) COMMERCIAL /INDUSTRIAL HAZARDOUS WASTE. THE AM SUPPORTS CONTINUED EFFORTS AT THE STATE LEVEL TO PROPERLY MANAGE INDUSTRIAL HAZARDOUS WASTES, INCLUDING THE RE -USE, RECOVERY AND RECYCLING OF AS MUCH HAZARDOUS WASTE AS POSSIBLE. THAT WHICH CANNOT BE RE -USED OR REPROCESSED MUST BE DISPOSED OF IH AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND MANNER. MANUFACTURERS SHOULD ALSO BE ENCOURAGED TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS USED IL: THEIR MANUFACTURING PROCESSES. -44- 0 34S AND OTHER WASTES WHICH POSE AN ZNVI Or IN ML n It*: Scrapping of automobiles, with air conditioning systems, refrigerators, home air conditioners and building insulation containing ozone - Depleting Compounds. Chlorofluorcarbons (CFO's) and Halons when discharged into the environment deplete the earth's protective ozone layer, allowing increased ultra - violet radiation causing such harms as skin cancer, cataracts, supressions of the immune systems and damage to crops and aquatic life. CFC9s in a form commonly known as Freon are widely used in airconditioning and refrigeration systems. Fire extinguishers are the primary source of N Ions released into the earth's atmosphere. CFC's are often a propellent used in the manufacture of foam board insulation. CFO's are a solvent in the manufacture of electronic equipment. That recapturing and recycling of freon from auto air conditioning units could eliminate approximately 20% of all CFO's nationally. AM STRONGLY SUPPORTS LEGISLATION THAT REQUIRES RESPONSIBLE DISPOSAL OF CFC'S (FREON) AND HAWNS. THE AIR CONDITIONING AND RIGERATION SERVICE OPERATORS AND THE WASTE MANAGEMENT /DISPOSAL IOMSTRY MUST RECAPTURE AND RECYCLE WASTE PRODUCTS. ELIMINATING CIC�$ (MON) AND HAWN FROM THE WASTE STREAM SHOULD BE THE GOAL. I -3 X8TROPOLITAIi /COUNTY RESPONSIBILITIES. As noted previously, the cities have the responsibility for waste collection including implementing and managing most recycling type programs. The other waste stream management responsibilities are basically split between the Metropolitan Council and the Counties. Considerable progress has been made in recent years in certain parts of the waste stream management system particularly those aspects for which cities are responsible. But several significant problems beyond the control of cities are becoming evident including: the inability of the counties to site needed waste facilities (landfills, transfer stations, compost sites, etc.), fluctuating and /or lack of markets for some recyclables, uneven funding among counties to run the low tech systems, and the radical variance in disposal costs .throughout the metropolitan area. Some of these problems are urgent and significant changes may need to be made in the waste stream management system in the metropolitan area. Some of the current waste stream management concerns are similar to the concerns which precipitated the formation of other regional commissions. WHILE NOT RULING OUT ADDRESSING THESE CONCERNS WITHIN THE • -45- 3toy WASTING INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK, SERIOUS CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE FORMATION OF A REGIONAL SOLID WASTE COMMISSION. SUCH COMMISSION SHOULD INCLUDE LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS. MORE ANALYSIS AND STUDY IS NEEDED TO DETERMINE THE TOTAL LIST OF FUNCTIONS TO BE ASSIGNED TO SUCH COMMISSION BUT MOST FUNCTIONS NOW PERFORMED BY THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL AND THE COUNTIES SHOULD BE GIVEN STRONG CONSIDERATION INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: OWNERSHIP (INCLUDING THE ASSUMPTION OF DEBT) OF THE CURRENT MAJOR PUBLIC DISPOSAL AND PROCESSING FACILITIES. RESPONSIBILITY FOR SITING CERTAIN TYPES OF WASTE PROCESSING AND DISPOSAL FACILITIES. -REGULATION OF DISPOSAL CHARGES (TIPPING /FEE) TO PROVIDE MORE FAIRNESS AND EQUITY. - DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS TO SUPPORT THE LOCAL RECYCLING PROGRAMS. - DISTRIBUTION OF OTHER GRANT FUNDS NOW MANAGED BY THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL -MOST OTHER FUNCTIONS PERFORMED BY THE COUNCIL EXCEPT FOR THE PLANNING FUNCTIONS (LONG RANGE POLICY PLANS, ETC.). - COORDINATION OF MARKkV. ING EFFORTS FOR RECYCLABLES. I -4 LOCAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES Cities have certain responsibilities in helping to manage and implement an effective solid waste management system including recycling programs and the collection systems. The AMM believes that to date cities, utilizing a variety of collection systems, are doing a good job of managing Local Recycling and Waste Collection. THE RESPONSIBILITIES NOW ASSIGNED TO CITIES FOR SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SHOULD REMAIN WITH THE CITIES. THE AMM BELIEVES THAT THE SYSTEM OUGHT TO BE FLEXIBILE AND BASED ON PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AND /OR GOALS RATHER THAN MANDATED TECHNIQUES. TO HELP ACHIEVE RECYCLING AND ABATEMENT GOALS, THE AMM WOULD SUPPORT THE CREATION OF A DISPOSAL SYSTEM WHERE INCENTI"VE.S ARE PROVIDED TO RESIDENTS WHO REDUCE THEIR VOLUME OF WASTE THROUGH ABATEMENT, RE -USE AND SOURCE SEPARATION ACTIVITIES. I -5 FUNDING The current funding system for• solid waste has a number of drawbacks: It does not encourage maximum utilization of the waste disposal hierarchy; it often gives no incentive to individual residents to participate in recycling; it does not differentiate between generators of 'clean' waste and 'problem' waste; and it has given no assurances that the main sources of funding are related to the entities incurring expenses. -AMM BELIEVES THAT THE FUNDING SYSTEM SHOULD RECOGNIZE THAT ALL -46- • t�L e METEODS OF DISPOSAL, XMMUDING RBCYCLUIG HAVE A COST. ALSO THZ TAME AND FULL COST OF THZ ENTIRE DISPOSAL SYSTEM SHOULD HE RECOGNIZED. -ANN BRIJ3WXS THAT IN GENERAL FUNDING FOR THE SOLID WASTE SYSTEM SHOULD CONE FROM THE GENERATORS OF SOLID HASTE THROUGH THE COST OF DISPOSAL. IN PRACTICAL TERMS, THIS 1RANS THAT THE TIP FEE SHOULD BE THE GENERAL, ALL - PURPOSE VEHICLE FOR FUNDING. -IN GENERAL, THE FUNDING SYSTEM SHOULD ENCOURAGE MAXIMUM USE OF THE WASTE HIERARCHY. FOR EXAWLB IT SHOULD COST V1ORE TO DISPOSE Or HASTE IN LANDFILLS THAN IN RESOURCE RUMMY FACILITIES. -AM SUPPORTS THE CONCEPT THAT " "► F MIALS WHICH CAUSE SPECIAL PSIS IN THE WASTE STREAK S91OUW BEAR THE COSTS (221ROUGH THE C48T O! PURCHASING THE MATERI ►LSj ASSOCIATED IIITR THESE PROBLEMS. -AMM ENO PROVIDING FINANCIAL INCENTIVES SUCH AS VIARIAaLE AND DIFlSRENTIAL FEES TO RESIDENTS Ng0 PARTICIPATE IN RECYCLING WHILE NAILING IT CLEAR THAT EVEN RECYCLING HAS A COST. Am BELIEVES THAT ANY FUNDING SYSTEM MUST GUARANTEE DISTRIBUTION OF THE HOMES TO ALL .ENTITIES INVOLVED IN THE SYSTEM AND RECOGNIZE ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH TIX SYSTEM. THIS MEANS A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE FONDS : NISED THROUGH THE SALES TAX SHOULD BE DISTRIBUTED TO CITIES WHICH OPERATE RECYCLING PROGRAMS. THE AM ALSO BELIEVES THAT THE ENTIRE PROCEEDS OF TAX ON SOLID WASTE SHOULD BE DEDICATED TO SOLID WASTE ACTIVITIES. I -6 ORGANIZED COLLECTION Organized collection serves as a viable and important method for municipalities to achieve solid waste abatement. It is a type of service agreement that allows cities proper regulatory power over their solid waste collection system. It provides municipalities the opportunity to choose the type of solid waste collection that would best serve their residents. 'Just Compensation' legislation is designed to limit municipalities regulatory power in the area of solid waste collection. In placing severe financial penalties on municipalities that undertake organized collection, 'Just Compensation' legislation infringes on municipalities rights to establish intangible service agreements for municipal services. -THi AM ENDORSES THE CONCEPT OF ORGANIZED COLLECTION AS A VIABLE METHOD FOR MUNICIPALITIES TO ASSERT REGULATORY POWER OVER THEIR SOLID WASTE COLLECTION SYSTEMS. -THE ANN BELIEVES THAT ORGANIZED COLLECTION MUST CONTINUE TO BE AVAILABLE TO CITIES AS THEY CHOOSE A TYPE OF SOLID WASTE • - 34Z COLLBCTIOI SYSTEM THAT MOULD BEST SERVE THE NEEDS OF THEIR RESIDrENTS. - THE AM OPPOSES ANY LEGISLATION THAT WOULD IMPOSE COMPENSATION PENALTIES ON MUNICIPALITIES WHO CHOOSE TO IMPLEMENT A SOLID WASTE COLLECTION SYSTEM. I -7 HOST CITIES AND CLEANUP RESPONSIBILITIES -While solid waste facilities are components of county and regional solid waste management systems, they must be located in individual cities. Because the number of facilities is limited, the effects of hosting these facilities is not equally shared among cities. Most of these effects are negative - an increased likelihood and incidence of water, soil, air, and noise pollution; and increased mount of litter and offensive odors; a greater likelihood of adverse impacts on values of neighboring properties: a need for increased maintenance on public streets and highways; and potential threats to public health and welfare in areas immediate to and along access routes to these facilities. Longer -term impacts may affect cities if the organizations responsible for facility operations cease as financially viable entities. Safeguards need to be enacted for host cities for the operations and clean up responsibilities associated with solid waste facilities. The trend within the metropolitan area has been to internalize present and future costs of solid waste management on current generators of solid waste. These costs should include the extra and adverse financial impacts borne by host communities. Cities host these regional facilities because of accidents of geography. Liabilities for these facilities should be shared across the region. -'THE AM SUPPORTS THE CURRENT COMPENSATION LEVEL ALLOWED THROUGH SURCHARGE FEES AS A MINIMUM LEVEL; THIS COMPENSATION SHOULD BE CONTINUED OR INCREASED. THIS FORM OF COMPENSATION SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO ALL TYPES OF SOLID WASTE FACILITIES. -THE ANN BELIEVES THE HOST COMMUNITIES SHOULD NOT BEAR A FINANCIAL LIABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH SOLID WASTE FACILITIES. COSTS INCURRED FOR MONITORING OPERATIONS AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS SHOULD BE BORNE BY FACILITY OPERATORS OR, IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGULATIONS, BE ASSUMED BY THE STATE OF MINNESOTA. LEGISLATION NEEDS TO BE STRENGTHENED SO AS TO EXEMPT CITIES FROM ANY PRESENT AND FUTURE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OPERATIONS OF SOLID WASTE FACILITIES. LEGISLATION SHOULD FURTHER ESTABLISH THAT PROCEEDS FOR FUTURE REMEDIAL ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIONS BE IN A TRUST FUND. -THE AM WILL SUPPORT LEGISLATION WHICH CLEARLY ARTICULATES THAT RADIAL ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVITIES ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY ONLY ON -48- 0 347 TBE PEtiMiTTBD OPERATOR AND /OR THE STATE of lI numsEYm. -m Am BELIEVES THAT LOCAL PROPERTY TAXING SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO LEVY HIGHER PROPERTY TAX RATES BECAUSE SOLID WASTE FACILITIES MAY DEPRESS PROPERTY VAIVESS WITHIN PAM OF THE TAXING JURISDICTION. OPERATORS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY b ADDITIONAL P= CONNENSURATE WITH THE ADVERSE TAX REVENUE IMAM ItESOLTING FROK 10M VALIM ON NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES. -THE AMM WILL SUPPORT MEASURES WHICH REQUIRE THAT OPERATORS OF SOLID - NAM FACILJTIES GUARANTEE THE PURCHASE VALUE OF PROPERTIES MICH ARE INFLUENCED BY THEIR PROXIlUTY TO THOSE FACILITIES. • L` -49- 368 i 1� TRANSPORTATION PAGE 50 THROUGH 58 r • • 341 �l OM V- A STREET AND HIGHWAY FUNDING An efficient transportation system is a vital element in planning for physical, economic, and social development at the state, regional, and local levels. Funding for current roadway maintenance reconstruction, and construction of new streets and highways in developing areas is a significant major element of a competitive and safe transportation system. Due to past high inflation and declining state revenues there has been a tendency by the Legislature to divert such needed roadway funds to -state general expenditure. This trend must be reversed and funding expanded to at least pace inflation plus growth to insure high quality transporation within the state and metropolitan region. TIM Atilt 1UNGES THE LEGISLATURE TO PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE LEVEL OF 7031Us SO THAT NECESSARY STRXIT AND HIGHWAY ENANCB sky BE Cm 9 1_ NECESSARY NEW STREET AND HIGHWAY CDN5TIViCT MAY OCCUR, AND THE MUNICIPAL STATE AID FUND LEVEL CONTINUES GROWTH. V-5 MOTOR VEHICLE EXCISE 'PAX TRANSFER The Transpp Study Board (TSB) and the Minnesota Transportation Alliance (MTA), formerly Good Roads, are both recommending radical changes to the use of MVET and funding of non maintenance highway functions. This is in recognition of the fact that the legislature is not going to follow through on the 1980 legislative intent to transfer 100% of the MVET to the Highway Users Fund and Transit Assistance Fund. The current transfer from general fund is 30% or approximately $78 million for FY 1992 of which $20 million goes for transit and $58 million under new law goes to the Trunk Highway Fund. After 1991 cities and counties are cut out of the MVET Highway fund distribution. The state's Trunk Highway Fund, supposedly for construction and maintenance of Highways, currently funds $68 million worth of related activities including the Department of Public Safety (Highway Patrol), Tourism, River Parkway, Safety Council and several others. It is questionable if these activities are legitimate expenses from gas tax funds per the Minnesota Constitution. The TSB and MTA are both recommending removing the related activities from the Trunk Highway Fund. In addition they are recommending creation of a Transportation Services Fund for the related activities as well as the Transit Fund for mass transit including LRT both to be funded from a portion of MVET. This funding exchange is approximately equal for existing Highway Funding. The TSB would like to see a portion of MVET remaining after use for the Services and Transit Funds go to highway construction and maintenance. THE AMM ENDORSES THE CONCEPT OF REMOVING NON HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES FROM THE STATE TRUNK HIGHWAY :UND AND 0 -50- 370 THE CREATION OF A TRANSPORTATION SERVICES FUND FOR THESE ACTIVITIES AND A TRANSIT FUND FOR MASS TRANSIT BOTH OF WHICH SHOULD BE FUNDED FROM DEDICATED MVET FUNDS. V-C HIGHWAY AND TRANSIT INTEGRATION An efficient Transportation System consists of both high quality roadway and high quality transit opportunities. These two elements must be considered together from early planning through implementation especially in high growth Metropolitan areas where the travel needs tend to glut to excess capacity new or expanded highways as soon as they are opened for use. The AMM understands that to some degree this is done in planning and that transit is considered somewhat when determining funding priorities for highway construction, however, it is felt that the integration of highway and transit is minimal and should be significantly increased. THE AM URGES EXISTING AGENCIES INVOLVED IN MAJOR HIGHWAY AND TRANSIT PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION TO INTEGRATE THESE ACTIVITIES TO ENSURE AN EFFICIENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. CRITERIA USED TD DETERMINE HIGHWAY FUNDING FOR CONSTRUCTION AND EXPANSION SHOULD BE RBVIEWRD AND UPDATED TO REQUIRE INCLUSION OF TRANSIT MODES' AND OPPORTUNITIES, WHEN APPROPRIATE. ONLY WHEN THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED WILL TUB TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM BE TRULY EFFICIENT AND MOST EFFECTIVE. V-D METROPOLITAN TRANSIT SYSTEM FUNDING Because of the large economically diverse population but rather compact nature of the Twin City Metropolitan Area, it is an absolute necessity to provide an effective and efficient public mass transit service augmented by a variety of programs,such as Rideshare and Project Mobility, to protect the economic viability of the area. Without a good transit system, the Metropolitan Highway system would not just be crowded, it would be totally inadequate. Many elderly and handicapped persons residing in the area primarily because of access to unique services would be almost totally immobile. Due to statutory constraints, there are no funding resources available for other units of government to pick up the difference if the programs are allowed to deteriorate. Therefore, legislative `unding of transit programs through the RTB should be a high priority. THE ANN REQUESTS THE LEGISLATURE TO CONSIDER THE METROPOLITAN TRANSIT PROGRAMS AS HIGH PRIORITY AND FUND THEM SUFFICIENTLY. FUNDING ALTERNATIVES SHOULD INCLUDE THE STATE GENERAL FUND, MOTOR VEHICLE EXCISE TAX, THE FARE BOX, PROPERTY TAX, AND SERVICE EFFICIENCIES. V -E HIGHWAY JURISDICTIONAL REASSIGNMENT AND FUNDING - 1- • E • 37l The State Highway Study Commission and Metropolitan Jurisdictional Task Force have been studying the possibility of reclassifying many roadways in the state as to appropriate use classifications and jurisdiction. This reassignment in the metropolitan area is estimated to shift $6.1 million annually from the state and $1.2 million annually from the counties to the cities for an increase of $7.3 million annually for general maintenance and life cycle treatment (i.e. sealcoat, overlays, etc.). This task is appropriate, but will have a profound effect on city finances and future ability to maintain good road systems, especially if certain criteria are not met and finance alternatives established. Therefore, the AM offers the following as a guide to continuing discussion and ongoing studies. THE AM SUPPORTS JURISDICTIONAL REASSIGNMENT OF ROADS ON A PHASED BASIS BASED ON FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND OTHER APPROPRIATE CRITERIA SUBJECT TO A CORRESPONDING MECHANISM FOR FUNDING OF FWADNAY IMPROV ENZ'S AND CONTINUING MAINTENANCE SINCE CITIES DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE THE FINANCIAL CAPACITY TO ABSORB THE ADDITIONAL ROADWAY RESPONSIBILITIES WITHOUT NEW FUNDING SOURCES. T8E EXISTING MUNICIPAL TURNBACK FUND IS NOT ADEQUATE BASED ON CDIIT XPI&M 'TURNBACRS. V -F STATE AND COUNTY HIGHWAY TURNBACKS Current state law provides that the state and /or county may declassify a trunk highway and turn it back to a local unit of government. The only provision is that it must be in good condition. The unit receiving the highway does not have the option to refuse title and must, thereafter, maintain the turned back road. The local unit may add the turnback highway to its NSA highway mileage and even exceed the unit's mileage limit if it is already at its designated limit. This will qualify that particular stretch of street for MSA maintenance funds. However, two problems exist: 1) the maintenance allocation may not be sufficient if the street is a high volume carrier, such as Highway 8 through Ramsey County; and 2) the miles of turnback designated by the local unit as MSA streets will be deducted from the unit's future additional MSA allocation limit, thus forcing the local unit to totally maintain that portion from its local funds or lose the right tc determine at its option other local streets as part of the MSA system. THE ASSOCIATION OF METROPOLITAN MUNICIPALITIES REQUESTS THE LEGISLATURE TO MODIFY THE LAW TO EITHER 1) ALLOW CITIES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE HIGHWAY TURNBACKS FROM THE STATE OR COUNTY, OR 2) ALLOW THE LOCAL UNITS MSA MILE LIMIT TO BE INCREASED BY Th, MILES OF TURNBACK WITHOUT AFFECTING FUTURE ALLOCATIONS AND ESTABLISH A SPECIAL MAINTENANCE ALLOCATION FOR TURNED BACK HIGHWAY MILES BASED ON VOLUME OF USAGE. FURTHER, STANDARDS AND CRITERIA FOR TURNBACK • MO&Z 37#1w Ti� ROADS SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED BY MNDOT IN CONJUNCTION WITH I4Ci1L UNITS OF GOVBRiII[EIiT, AND NOT MEETING THESE STANDARDS BE MADE FART OF THE CRITZRIA FOR WHICH A CITY MAY REJECT THE TURNBACR. V—G CSAB DESIGNATION County State Aid Highways located within cities may not be abandoned, changed, or revoked without the 'concurrence of the governing body of the city unless the city refuses or neglects to approve plans for construction which are in conformance with CSAH standards for a period of one year. Counties would like the authority to change designation without preparing expensive plans and without city concurrence based on changing conditions. Cities are concerned about abandonment of major county roadways without appropriate maintenance. Therefore; THE AM OPPOSES ELIMINATION °OF CITY COUNCIL CONCURRENCE FOR COUNT!( STAIN AID HIGHWAY ABANDONMENT, CHANGE, OR REVOCATION. UNTIL SUCH TI1� AS ALTZRICATIVES CAN BE DEVEIAPED. V -Q 1 3C• TRANSPORTATION PLAMnG PROCESS — ROLS OF ELSCTED OFFICIALS The transportation planning process in the Twin City Metropolitan Area has been developed in response to a variety of federal and state laws and regulations. The Metropolitan Council (MC) was formally designated by the Legislature in 1974 (1974 MRA) as the agency responsible for the administration and coordination of said planning process. Included within this designation is the responsibility for long range comprehensive transportation planning required by Section 134 of the Federal Highway Act of 1962, Section 4 of Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964 and Section 112 of Federal Aid Highway Act of 1973, and such other federal transportation laws as may be enacted subsequently. The planning required under the federal laws is commonly referred to as the 1 3C' process (continuous, comprehensive, and cooperative), and the MC is the metropolitan planning organization (MPo) under federal terminology. Federal law and regulations require that the MPO function as "the forum for cooperative decision making by principal elected officials of general purpose local government" and receipt of federal financial aid for the planning, construction and operation of transportation improvements in urbanized areas is contingent upon the existence of a planning process which is satisfactory to federal authorities. When the Legislature designated the MC as the transportation planning agency for the metropolitan area, it also mandated the establishment of an "advisory body" to assist the MC and Metropolitan Transit Commission (MTC), now Regional Transit Board, in carrying out their responsibilities. While specific duties were not assigned, the Legislature did specify that the advisory body would consist of citizen representatives, municipal, county, -53-- 1373 and appropriate state agency representatives. This advisory body is nor called the Transportation Advisory Board (TAB) and contains 11 local elected officials among its membership of about 30 of ficials. The K C has consistently viewed the role of TAB as an ►isory body based on the 1974 MRA. Hence, local elected officials in this area do not play as vital a role in the federally mandated 8 3C' transportation planning process as was intended by federal law and regulation. Although, the Federal Faqulations no longer require exclusive local official rasentation as the MC, they still maintain local official iolveaent in the KC and 1 3C' process. In addition, the current elected official participation and 8 3C' process has worked reasonably well in this Metropolitan Area. . TOM AM SUPPORTS AS A MINIMUM THB CONTINUATION OF THE CURRENT hr �+ L ZLWM OFFICIALS INVOLV IN THE '3C' PROCESS. IF I Il TIO# IS C 1SIM=,y THE AMl! URGES GREATER LOCAL OFFICIAL Fn..' 12 THE SELECTION PROCESS OF THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AItCit'. V• LARGE TAUCRS (TRIPLE TRAILERS) Tbo .trucking industry has recently proposed to the state legislature to allow truck tractor and trailer combinations of up to 110 feet on Minnesota State Highways. Due to offtracking of rear wheels, acceleration distance needs, and time and distance required for safe passing, current legal lengths are pushing the limit of- safety and physical ability of our interstate and trunk highway systems. Longer tractor /trailor combinations would only exacerbate these conditions beyond tolerable limits. To upgrade the Highway System to accommodate longer units would be very expensive reducing funding resources for other much needed critical projects. Once allowed on the interstate and designated trunk route highways there would undoubtedly by pressure to provide access to various local areas which would be prohibitive in cost for local upgrading and unacceptable for safety, Therefore, THE AM URGES THE LEGISLATURE TO NOT INCREASE TRUCK TRACTOR AND TRAILER COMBINATION LENGTH LIMITS BEYOND CURRENT LIMITS DUE TO UNACCEPTABLE COST FOR HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION AND FOR PROTECTION OF PUBLIC SAFETY. V-J NTC REDUCED SERVICE AREA MILL RATE Prior to the 1988 Tax Bill, the levy for MTC was expressed as 2 mills and adjusted by a number of recalculations which raised the total levy to between 3 and 3.5 mills. The 1984 Legislature provided that based on reduced service, the MTC levy in certain areas would be reduced. The reductions were intended to be either 25% or 16% but were expressed in mills and written in such a n -54- 37V wanner that less of a reduction than that amount originally intended by the legislature was actually implemented. Current law no longer refers to mills but increases by growth percentages from existing dollar amounts. The AMM feels that the reduced service area levy should be adjusted to reflect the intent of the 1984 law. THE AM REQUESTS THE LEGISLATURE TO MODIFY THE REDUCED SERVICE AREA LEVIES TO REFLECT 1984 LAN INTENT OF 25% LEVY REDUCTION FOR PEAK ROOR SERVICE ONLY AND 16% LEVY REDUCTION FOR PEAK PLUS PARTIAL OFF PEAK HOUR SERVICE. W -K SEAT BELTS The Legislature passed a no penalty mandatory seat belt usage law in 1986 and added some modest penalties effective beginning August 1, 1988. Originally,. a violator could be stopped and ticketed for non use of a seat belt. However, when penalties were added, a non use ticket could only be issued incidental to being stopped or detained for another traffic violation. Compliance went from 321 to 45% when penalties were added. The change to ticketing incidental to another violation caused a reduction from 98,000 tickets to 80,000 tickets. THB AM SUPPORTS A CHANGE IN THE SEAT BELT STATUTES WHICH WOULD AWW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES TO ISSUE CITATIONS FOR SEAT BELT V*0LATIOW WITHOUT FIRST HAVING TO ENFORCE OTHER TRAFFIC CODE VIOLATIONS. V -L PEAK HOUR INTERSTATE TRUCK BAN The AMM is and has been a strong supporter of funding for Highways and Transit programs in recognition of the increasing congestion on the major metropolitan highways. In conjunction with increased highway and transit facilities, the AMM believes that programs should be implemented that would better utilize existing facilities. One of these would be to eliminate large trucks from the major interstates during peak hour traffic. This would increase capacity by 15% plus provide increased public safety. Recent statistics show an accelerating accident rote between trucks and passenger vehicles during these hours. THE AMM REQUESTS THE LEGISLATURE AND MNDOT WORK WITH TRUCKING FIRMS TO STUDY ELIMINATION OF LARGE TRUCKS FROM SOME OR ALL OF THE METROPOLITAN INTERSTATES DURING PEAR TRAVEL HOURS TO INCREASE CAPACITY AND SAFETY. THE AMM ENCOURAGES IMPLEMENTATION OF SOME FORM OF REDUCED TRUCK TRAFFIC DURING PEAK HOURS, INCLUDING A DEMONSTRATION PROJECT, AS SOON AS PRACTICAL. V -M REGIONAL TRANSIT SYSTEM • -55- 375 The purpose of a Transportation System is to provide mobility for people and accessibility to and for economic development and services. The most effective system will make maximum use of all transit alternatives and strategies where tray are most appropriate, thus, creating a truly integrated system. Exclusive reliance on only freeways is imprudent and possibly cost prohibitive primarily due to s6cial and economic upheaval of established neighborhoods for right of way acquisition. Transit improvements are imperative, but *even with implementation of various load increasing strategies, the capacity is finite and will reach unacceptable saturation limits within the forseeable future. The AM supports more coordination and integration of Transit and Highway planning and implementation. T REGIONAL TRANSIT SYSTEM: SHOULD BE A COMBINATION OF SHORT AND L4=G HAUL SYSTEMS AND BE INCLUDED IN ALL PLANNING DOCUMENTS AT ALL LEVELS INCLUDING EIS STUDIES. THE LONG HAUL SYSTEM SHOULD INCLUDE HOV LANES, EXPRESS BUSES, AND THE LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT SYSTEM WHICH SHOULD BE BUILT WHEN IT IS APPROPRIATE AND FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE IN EACH CORRIDOR OF THE AREA TO COWN2 f RESIDENTS TO JOB, RETAIL, AND COMMERCIAL CENTERS. THE SHORT HAUL SYSTEM COULD INCLUDE A VARIETY OF MODES, INCLUDING A TAXI SYSTEM:, BUSES, NON - MOTORIZED, AND PARR AND RIDES ADEQUATE TO CONNECT THE LONG HAUL SYSTEM AND REGIONAL CENTERS, MAJOR TRIP ATORS ANG COMMUNITIES, BOTH URBAN AND SUBURBAN. BUS SYSTEMS AND ESPECIALLY LRT SYSTEMS SHOULD INCLUDE AMPLE RGIONAL PARK AND RIDE FACILITIES, WITS EASY ACCESS, CONSISTENT WITH THE PANNING OF A REGIONAL ENTITY TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEEDS OF THS PUBLIC. FEEDER SYSTEMS SHOULD BE A MAJOR CONSIDERATION FOR BUS PARK AND RIDE AND LPT STATIONS. PLANS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TO USE VAN POOLS TO ALSO FEED THE PARR AND RIDES FOR EXPRESS BUSES AND LRT. ALL TRANSIT MODES AND TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MANAGEMENT POLICIES SHOULD BE GIVEN EQUAL CONSIDERATION NOW AND IN THE FU'T'URE IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE BEST TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM POSSIBLE TO THE METROPOLITAN AREA. THE FINANCING FOR THE REGIONAL SYSTEM SHOULD BE BORNE IN PROPORTION TO THE BENEFIT OR SERVICES RECEIVED. V -N NSA SCREENING COMMITTEE The Metropolitan Highway Districts 5 and 9 were combined in 1989/90 administratively to form one Metropolitan Highway District within the MNDOT structure. By law the MSA screening committee consists of one member from each Highway District and first class city. Technically, the combining of Districts 5 and 9 reduces the is -56- 371 membership by one from the metro area. This was not intended by MNDOT. Therefore; 0 THE AMM REQUESTS THAT THE STATUTES BY MODIFIED TO PRESERVE TWO SEATS ON THE NSA SCREENING COMMITTEE FROM THE METROPOLITAN HIGHWAY DISTRICT. V-0 METROPOLITAN TAX 0-1 REGIONAL TAX A number Of agencies have suggested the use of a special Metropolitan Tax for various purposes. The AMN membership has had extensive discussion on this issue, and given the reality that a metro tax will continue to be considered, the AMM offers the following position: THE AMM MEMBERSHIP FEELS THAT ANY NEW METROPOLITAN TAX SHOULD BE RELATED TO A SPECIFIC NEED THAT CAN BE IDENTIFIED AS Cl TICAL TO THE METROPOLITAN AREA AND THAT CURRENT FINANCIAL OR TAX RESOURCES CANNOT BE USED OR DIVERTED FROM LESSOR PRIORITY ACTIVITIES. 0-2 REGIONAL TAX PRINICIPLES If it is shown that an activity is in critical need of funding and that there is no current source that can be used, then certain principles should be applied. ANY NEW METRO GENERATED TAX OR REVENUE SOURCE SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A REASON TO REDUCE CURRENT OR FUTURE STATE Alj=ATIONS FOR ANY ACTIVITY OR REDIRECT METRO TARGETED STATE AGENCY FUNDS TO OTHER REGIONS. A NEW TAX AND ITS SOURCE, To THE DEGREE POSSIBLE, SHOULD BE RELATED TO THE USE. A NEW TAX SHOULD BE IMPOSED AS BROADLY AS POSSIBLE AND TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE ON THE USER OR LARGEST BENEFICIARY OF . THE ACTIVITY FUNDED. THE TAX OR REVENUE SOURCE SHOULD BE STABLE. THE FUNDS SHOULD BE DEDICATED TO THE STATED PURPOSE, NOT ACCOUNTED FOR IN OR THROUGH THE STATE GENERAL FUND, AND SPENT ONLY ON METROPOLITAN PROJECTS. THE TAX OR REVENUE SOURCE CHOSEN SHOULD BE ONE THAT WILL NOT RESTRICT LOCAL GOVERNMENT REVENUE OPTIONS OR IMPACT LOCAL GOVERNMENT NEEDS FOR FUTURE rRITICAL ACTIVITIES. 0-3 TRANSPORTATION TAX • r� -57- 377 The AM does feel that Transportation needs are becoming critical In the Metropolitan Area and that LRT must be examined within the oontext of the total Transportation system. A proposal has been brought forward by the Regional Transit Board to fund LRT AM SUPPORTS THE CONCEPT OF A METROPOLITAN TAX FOR METROPOLITAN TUNSPORTATION NEEDS, INCLUDING LRT WITH THE FOLIOWING CONSIDERATION: (1) TAXES SUCH AS THE MOTOR FUELS, MOTOR VEHICLE IzCISE TAX, SALES TAX, AND PAYROLL TAX SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED; AND (Z) THE PROPERTY TAX AND GENERAL INCOME TAX SHOULD NOT BE - SIDBRBD• • -58- 371, • IJA ENDORSEMENT POLICIES PAGE 59 THROUGH 65 • apt VI VI -A TRUTH IN TAXATION (UIC POLICY RS -4) The League recommends improvements in the truth in taxation law designed to make the process meaningful for property taxpayers and workable for cities and other local units of government. The League believes that all levels of local government (including counties and school districts) as well as the state government should be required to follow similar truth in taxation • requirements for public hearings on budget and tax issues. The Legislature should make changes in the following arers. !- NOW THAT TRUTH IN TAXATION IS IN PLACE, LEVY IMUTS SHOULD BE ABOLISHED. IF THE LEGISL&TURE CONTINUES TO IMPOSE RESTRICTIVE LEVY LIMITS, THEN ONLY CITIES WHICH NEED TO EXCEED THEIR LEVY T13C TO SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO GO THROUGH THE TRUTH IN TAXATION PROCESS. 2. PARCEL - SPECIFIC TRUTH IN TAXATION NOTICES SHOULD BE REQUIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IN ALL COUNTIES SO THAT T Z PRECISE Il ![PACT OF BUDGET AND LEVY DECISIONS ON INDIVIDUAL TAXPAYERS' BILLS ARE DISPLAYED.,,,; STATE FUNDS SHOULD BE, APPROPRIATED TO FINANCE COMPLIANCE WITH THIS STATE MANDATE. Under current law, most counties (except Hennepin, Ramsey, and St. Louis) are required to produce a general notice that only indicates the proposed levy (after reduction by LGA) and the percent increase or decrease from ths'.previous years levy., In many cases. such statements will mislead taxpayers about the effects of levy changes on their property ,tax bills. Only aoparcel- specific notice can avoid misleading taxpayers. 3. LOCAL GOVBRNMNTS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO AMEND THE LEVY THAT THEY P PROPOSE TO THE COUNTY AUDITOR ON SEPTEMBER 1. IN ADDITION, THE TRUTH IN TAXATION PROCESS SHOULD APPLY ONLY TO A LOCAL UNITS LEVIES, NOT ITS TOTAL BUDGET. Truth In Taxation requires budget adoption and levy certification by September 1. Many cities will have a difficult time realistically assessing their budget needs that far in advance of the beginning of the budget year. The early certification date, in combination with the rule that prevents the city's final levy from exceeding its preliminary September 1 estimate, could work against responsible budgeting and force cities to overestimate their budget needs in order to avoid potential revenue shortfalls. 4. SINCE TRUTH IN TAXATION NOTICES MUST BE SENT TO EACH PARCEL OF PROPERTY, LOCAL UNITS SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO PUBLISH NEWSPAPER ADVERTISEMENTS. S. THE METHOD FOR CALCULATING THE PROPOSED TAX INCREASES SHOWN ON TAXPAYER TRUTH IN TAXATION NOTICES SHOULD REFLECT AS ACCURATELY AS C -59- POS"BLB THE ACTUAL YEAR -TO -YEAR INCREASES OR DECREASES OCCURRING IN TAXPAYERS' TAX BILLS. to 6. A CITY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO USE ITS OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER TO PUBLISH NOTIFICATION OF A RECESSED TRUTH IN TAXATION HEARING, AS LONG AS THAT NEWSPAPER IS ONE OF GENERAL INTEREST AND READERSHIP IN THE COMMUNITY. 7. PROPERTY TAX STATEMENTS PROVIDED TO HOMEOWNERS SHOULD ACCURATELY REFLECT THE AMOUNT OF STATE -PAID PROPERTY TAX RELIEF PROVIDED FOR THE PARCEL OF PROPERTY. For example, artificial calculations of "homestead credit" amounts are not acceptable. VI -B RESERVE FUNDS (LMC POLICY) THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD NOT ATPEOT TO CONTROL OR RESTRICT CITY CASH BALANCES OR RESERVES. RESERVES ARE NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN THE FISCAL VIABILITY OF CITY GOVERNMENTS, TO PURCHASE CAPITAL GOODS AND INFRASTRUCTURE, AND TO MAINTAIN HIGH LEVEL BOND RATINGS. The 1989 Legislature initiated discussion and study of cities' cash balances and reserves. There are several reasons why cities must carry adequate reserves and cash balances. First, cities need substantial cash balances at the beginning of their fiscal year to finance their expenditures for the first six months of the year. By statute, cities' fiscal year is on a calendar year basis from January 1 through December 31. The major sources of city revenue are 'Aproperty taxes and state aid. Property tax payments are not made to cities until June and state aid is not provided until late July- -six to seven months into the citf fiscal year. without a substantial cash balance at the beginning of the year, cities would not have funds to operate for the first half of the fiscal year. The only alternate would be for the city to engage in costly borrowing which is neither in the taxpayers' nor the state interest. The state auditor and city auditing firms rave suggested that to be prudent, cities should carry an end- of -ty =e -year dedicated cash balance sufficient to fund city expenditures for the :irst half of the year. Second, many cities, in order to save taxpayer dollars and avoid paying costly debt interest, accumulate reserves for major capital purchases and infrastructure. A common example is increasing reserves to purchase an expensive fire engine or public works vehicle. In some cities, it may appear as if a city has a large reserve compared to its annual expenditures, but in reality it is "saving" for a major purchase an6 has minimal real cash reserves. Because of the vast different %s in the size of the 855 cities of Minnesota and the various local preferences in financing purchases, it would be bad public policy for the Legislature to restrict or eliminate cities' abilities to accumulate reserve -60- 381 funds. Third, cities need some reserves to meet emergency or unanticipated expenditures created, for example, buy natural disasters, lawsuits, and premature breakdown of vital equipment. Finally, the bond rating firms require liquidity and ability to pay debt in order to receive a favorable bond rating. Bond rating firms scrutinize city reserve levels when rating bonds. The better the bond rating, the lower the interest cost is to the taxpayer. VI-C SALES AND MOTOR VEHICLE EXCISE TAX EXTENSION. (LNC POLICY RS -5) THE LEAGUE OPPOSES FORCING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO PAY THE SIX PBRCE'r SALES AND MOTOR VEHICLE EXCISE TAX ON THEIR PURCHASES. Forcing local governments to pay the state sales tax means one level of government is taxing another. This increased sales tax will directly result in increased local property taxes. In 1987, the governor proposed extending the six percent sales and Rotor vehicle excise tax to- purchases made by cities and other local government units. While rejecting the sales tax proposal, the Legislature did accept the motor vehicle excise tax plan, effective with city purchases of vehicles made after May 31, 1987. This excise tax, however, does not apply to public safety vehicles. VI--D STATE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS. (LMC POLICY RS -6) THE LEAGUE STRONGLY OPPOSES DEDUCTING STATE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS FROM FUNDS APPROPRIATED FOR PROPERTY TAX RELIEF. IN ADDITION, IF A STATE AGENCY IS REQUIRED TO RECOVER COSTS THROUGH A STATE CHARGE -BACK FOR SERVICES TO LOCAL UNITS, THEN DURING ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS THE STATE SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO JUSTIFY THEIR CHARGES ON THE BASIS OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE INDIVIDUAL LOCAL UNITS. All state government costs should be subject to the standard appropriation review process and be funded directly by specific state appropriation, not by a broad deduction from property tax relief programs. While decisions on the necessary staffing and funding levels for state agencies are made by the appropriations committees, tax policy decisions should be handled by the tax committees. When state administrative costs are financed through the local government aid (LGA) appropriation, funds available for property tax relief are reduced, defeating the purpose of LGA. In 1990, such state costs included the unprecedented large sum of $460,000 0 -61- 3(:L to fund the state auditor's office and certain department of administration functions related to local government. In the case of the state auditor's office, earmarked deductions from LGA are being used to finance over AO percent of the auditor's state - appropriated budget, an inappropriate action in the League's opinion. Furthermore, LGA funds are being used to finance auditor and department of administration operations which do not relate to cities, but to all local governments -- counties, school districts, and townships. The LGA program is largely designed for and used by cities. Other state programs -- county income disparity aids, school aids -- largely benefit other units of local government. the League believes it is wholly inappropriate and unfair to almost exclusively tap city funds for programs which relate to all units of local government. In order to promote a cohesive and coordinated state tax policy and provide for adequate review of proposed state agency costs, it is recommended that no state agency's administrative costs be deducted from property tax relief funds. This will allow the tax committees to fully determine the level of property tax relief to be provided. VI -E COMPARALE WORTH. (LMC POLICY GLP-5) THE LEAGUE SUPPORTS EFFORTS TO ELI)QNATE ANY SEX -BASED DIFFERENCES IN COMPENSATION OF PUBLIC EMPLOYEES AND ASKS THE LEGISLATURE TO REFRAIN FROM FURTHER AMENDING CURRENT LAW UNTIL THE LEGISLATURE EVAIAATES IMPLEMENTATION REPORTS IN 1992. THE LEAGUE SUPPORTS PROVIDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO CITIES IN THE FORM OF A SPECIAL LEVY OR PERMANENT LEVY BASE ADJUSTMENT FOR EQUITY ADJUSTMENTS OR A LIMIT ON THE AMOUNT OF EQUITY ADJUSTMENTS WHICH A LOCAL GOVERNMENT MUST MARE IN ANY YEAR. Following a review of implementation reports, the legislature should exempt from the law those employers for which a job evaluation system proves unworkable, such as those with too few employees or too many single incumbent job positions. The 1990 legislature enacted significant amendments to the state's comparable worth legislation. Many local governments will incur substAntial costs in adjusting their implementation programs. As a result of the changes, some cities may not finish implementation by the December 1991 deadline. Further changes only months prior to the deadline would be irresponsible. Following the deadline, the legislature should evaluate the implementation reports and consider options for providing financial assistance to those jurisdictions still deemed out of compliance with legislative goals. • -62- 383 VI -F LIQUOR ISSUES. (LMC POLICY GLP-7) THE LEAGUE OPPOSES THE NSTREW OF ONE CLASS OF BEER AND THE OFF -SALE OF NINE IN OTHER THAN LIQUOR STORES, but supports greater local authority regarding hours of sale and license fees. The establishment of one class of beer in Minnesota would cause substantial problems in controlling the sale of beer in filling stations, grocery stores, drug stores, and elsewhere where 3.2 beer is sold. Also, with regard to a proposal for only one class of beer in Minnesota, current 3.2 on -sale establishments could be selling strong beer without the supervision and controls imposed upon on -sale liquor establishments and municipal liquor stores, or would be forced to meet most if not all the restrictions on intoxicating liquor establishments. Cities should be fully authorized to establish hours of sale and be expressly authorized to establish differing license fees for establishments having different hours of operations. VI-G ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITIES. (LMC POLICY) The AMM believes that cities should have equal development authority and powers. THE AMK SUPPORTS LEGISLATION WHICH WOULD PROVIDE CITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITIES WITH THE SAME POUTER AND AUTHORITY AS CERTAIN CITIES HAVE BEEN GRANTED IN SPECIAL PORT AUTHORITY ACTS. VI -H MUNICIPAL SERVICE DISTRICTS. (LMC POLICY) Many court decisions relative to special assessments have made it extremely difficult for cities to use special assessments to finance public services and improvements. The Minnesota Supreme Court has interpreted the State Constitution to require not only that a special assessment project specially benefit affected parcels of property but also that the city be able to prove that the market value of a property will increase in direct relation to the amount of the special assessment applied to that property. Also cities' ability to finance annual operating and maintenance costs of some services to property through the use of special service changes is either unclear or non - existent under current law. The only current financing alternative to special assess -;nts or services charges is the general property tax. But it may not be desireable to use the general property tax to finance some capital or operating expenpe for various reasons. THE AMM SUPPORTS LEGISLATION WHICH WOULD ALLOW CITIES TO CREATE MUNICIPAL SERVICE DISTRICTS. CITIES SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO FINANCE THE TYPE OF IMPROVEN'J1TS LISTED IN M.S. 429.021 (RELATING TO THE CONSTRUCTION, REPLACEMENT, AND MAINTENANCE OF SUCH THINGS AS 0 -63- 314 STREETS, SIDEWALKS, GUTTERS, STORM AND SANITARY SEWERS, WATERWORKS SYSTEMS, STREET LIGHTS, AND PUBLIC MALLS, PARKING, OR COURTYARDS). BOTH SERVICE CHARGES AND AD VALOREM PROPERTY TAXES SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO FINANCE SERVICES OR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS IN THE DISTRICT. VI -I HAZARDOUS SITE CLEAN -UP AND REDEVELOPMENT. (LMC POLICY) Minnesota Cities have difficulty in redeveloping sites that require clean up of chemical contamination. The inability to clean up and redevelop contaminated sites has significant negative effects on the area in which the sites are located and has broad implications for general public health and safety. The State and Federal Superfund is limited, recent changes to the tax increment law make it even less likely that money generated from a "hazardous substance subdistrict" will be sufficient and many other impediments exist to redevelopment of these contaminated sites. Mechanisms for the treatment and redevelopment of affected sites must be implemented. THE ASSOCIATION OF METROPOLITAN MUNICIPALITIES SUPPORTS LEGISLATION WHICH WOULD ACCOMPLISH THE FOLLOWING: (1) PROVIDE FOR A STATE -WIDE REVOLVING LOAN FUND TO HELP CITIES FINANCE CLEAN -UP COSTS WHEN SUPERFUND MONEY IS NOT IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE, REIMBURSEMENT FROM "HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE SUBDISTRICTS" IN "TAX INCREMENT DISTRICTS" IS NOT SUFFICIENT, AND DEVELOPMENT POSSIBILITIES EXIST; AND (2) GIVE MUNICIPALITIES ACCESS TO A SITE FOR TESTING PURPOSES BEFORE COMMENCING A FORMAL EMINENT DOMAIN ACTION; AND (3) IN AN EMINENT DOMAIN PROCEEDING COMMENCED BY A MUNICIPALITY, TO ALLOW FOR A REDUCTION IN THE COMQISSIONERfS AWARD FOR THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF POLLUTION CLEAN -UP COSTS IF KNOWN: AND IF THE ESTIMATED POLLUTION CLEAN -UP COSTS ARE NOT KNOWN, TO ALLOW THE MUNICIPALITY TO TAKE THE PROPERTY WHILE RETAINING THE RIGHT TO RECOVER POLLUTION CLEAN -UP COSTS FROM THE OWNER; AND (4) AMEND THE MINNESOTA ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE AND LIABILITY ACT, MINN. STAT. CH. 115B TO EXCLUDE MUNICIPALITIES AND OTHER PUBLIC BODIES FROM LIABILITY FOR RESPONSE COSTS AND DAMAGES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THE RELEASE OR THREATENED RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. VI-J TOLLWAY AUTHORIZATION. (LAIC POLICY) THE LEAGUE SUPPORTS OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALTERNATIVE FINANCING FOR LOCAL TRANSPORTATION NEEDS INCLUDING THE OPTION OF LOCAL AUTHORITY FOR TOLL FACILITIES. Cities should be given the flexibility -64 3 or necessary to finance future needs through public, private, or joint agreements. is VI -1 ROAD ACCESS CHARGE. (LNC pOLICY) MW LEGISLATURE SHOULD AUTHORIZE CITIES TO ESTABLISH, AT THEIR OPTION, ROAD ACCESS CHARGES FOR NEW RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL,, AND IItDUST'RIAL DEVELOPMENT. Growing communities are finding it Increasingly difficult to finance construction of facilities needed for new residential, commercial, and industrial development. Assessments on developing property for sewers and streets which directly benefit the property are the most common available legal option. Often, however, there are major streets leading to new development that need to be constructed. Under current law, only the abutting benefitted property can be specially assessed, and then only for the degree of benefit. This is generally inadequate to pay for the roadway upgrades which are necessary to serve larger populations. Cities should be allowed to levy such charges on an area or per lot basis at the time subdivisions are approved, (similar to park dedication fees), or on existing open lots when a building permit is issued. For other services, the Legislature has recognized similar problems and authorized charges to provide facilities which do not directly abut the affected property. Two such instances are park dedication fees and sewer availability charges. QS. 384 =4*6 as5ociaH n of metro o�i�an m�ia a ities January 28, 1991 RTO JAN 2 8 1 0 ,91 TO: Senators Representatives Local Officials FROM: AMIt Staff SUBJECT: AMM Priority Policy Issues For 1991 • Enclosed for your reference is a complete set of the 1991 AMM Legislative Policy as adopted by the membership. We do wish to point out certain policy issues which are considered by our membership and Board of Directors to be of extreme high priority to the metropolitan area cities. .he six AMM priority issues for 1991 are: 1. LEVY LIMIT REPEAL The Association of Metropolitan Municipalities has consistently opposed the levy limit laws in that.they apply uniform statewide restrictions to cities and are too inflexible to accommodate inflation, uncertanties in state and federal financial aids, the diverse problems and circumstances faced by cities throughout the state, and citizens* demands. Such laws are incons:ztent with principles of local self- government and accountability. Past legislative actions have penalized cities that have been frugal and successfully kept their levies below the maximum thus creating incentives to levy so that they will not be tied to artifically low new limits in the future. The AMM strongly supports elimination of levy limits now or at a minimum adding flexibility for growth in 1992 and allow levy limit laws for cities to sunset per current law for taxes payable in 1993. (Policy I -A -1 and B -1). 2. PRESERVATION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID State Aid to cities has been a much debated legislative issue for two decades. Over that time the formula(s) have ranged from pure per capita, to need based on value and • • 317 -1- 183 university avenue east, st. paul, minnesota 55101 (612) 227 -4008 service, to a distribution based on location and past spending. Homestead Credit has changed to Homestead Aid and is no longer a direct taxpayer subsidy. New gimmicks such as Disparity Reduction Aid (Mill rate equalization) and Tax Base Equalization Aid, have been invented to target money to various regions when the general aid formula could not be politically justifiably rigged to work. Because of the regional fracturing or because cities and city aid has become an easier less emotionally backed target, the legislature has begun what appears to be a systematic shift from city aid to school and county assistance programs. A need based LGA program is necessary to help offset the vast differences in taxes created by tax base and /or service need differences. The state should continue its commitment to cities to help ensure maintenance of reasonable property taxes on a fair basis for the provision of necessary public health, safety, and welfare services. (Policy I -C). 3. PROPERTY TAX REFORM The AMM supports property tax reform measures that will provide relief to certain excessively high taxed types of properties and does not create an unfair tax burden among property tax payers of various property classes or regions. An essential component of the property tax system is a need based aid program. of immediate concern is the disproportionate and geometrically high taxes on homes with values in the third tier of they three tier homestead class rate system. A $120,000 home pays 3 times the tax of a .$60,000 home while a $240,000 home pays 9 times the tax. More expensive properties should pay higher taxes but not geometrically higher. The AMM supports a return to a two tier system of 1% on value up to $68,000 plus 2% on value over $68,000. (Policy I -D -1 and D -4). 4. TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (TIF) AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TIF was the last remaining viable development tool available to cities to implement a state priority of fostering economic development to create jobs and to deal with blight and decay in older cities. The AMM believes that the TIF amendments of 1990 went too far and virtually eliminated TIF as a usable city tool. The AMM believes the Legislature should thoroughly study economic development and develop an overall state economic development policy. Such policy must define the role cities should play in economic development and then the necessary tools should be made available to cities to enable them to fulfill their assigned responsibility. To meet immediate city needs, several of the more restricti:te 1990 TIF amendments should be repealed (Policies IV -S -1 and B -3). -2- .318 V i 5. WASTE STREAM MANAGEMENT Many substantial changes were made to statutes governing waste stream management during both the 1989 regular session and the 1989 special session. Several more changes were proposed during the 1990 session but not passed concerning such issues as overide of local zoning ordinances for siting certain solid waste processing facilities, plastics /packaging concerns and certain "problem and hazardous materials." The AMM believes a number of waste stream management issues should be addressed in 1991 including funding for local recycling programs, dedication of the sales tax on solid waste collection services for waste stream management activities only and uniform disposal costs in the Metropolitan Area. (Policy IV I -3 and I -5). 6. HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOOD LIVEABILITY The ANN is very concerned about the shortage of decent, affordable housing for low income persons, deteriorating neighoohoods, crime and drugs. Cities for many reasons including levy limits do not have the financial capacity to solve these problems with their own financial resources. The AMM will support legislative initiates that provide cities with the necessary tools, funding and programs to help srengthen and preserve neighborhoods. The AMM believes that more state resources should be dedicated to the housing problems including consolidating and increasing the revenues for the Minnesota Housing Trust Fund. Several financal sources should be considered including state appropriations, state bonding, and state gambling revenues. The Legislature should also modify some of last year's TIF restrctions so TIF could once again be used for housing.

What has caused our Eurasian Water Milfoll (EWM) problem? A. EWM is a non- native weed. The weed grows on aknost any type of lake bottom. ag- gressively choking out native species. It will likely spread to nearly all areas with a depth of 15 feet or less. Q. How does It propagate? A. EWM spreads almost entirely by stem fragmentation. The plant produces seeds, but seeds are not a significant factor in its spread. Q. Now does the fragmentation occur? A. Stem shreds are formed by mechanical damage and by self fragmentation. The greatest source of fragments comes from the natural maturing of the plant. Self fragmen- tation may occur several times a season. Q. Does harvesting cause the spreading of fragments? A To some extent, yes. The LMCD harvesters were specifically selected because their design allows fo )aximum pickup of cut weeds. Boat traffic, through EWM beds is a much greater source of mechanical fragmentation. Q. What can be done to control the growth of Eurasian water milfoll? A. The LMCD has studied results from many other lakes. Control methods include: her - bicides, lake bottom roto tilling, bottom bar- riers, de- rooting by diver dredging mechanical pulling, and harvesting. Ail methods have their uses riven the extent of the spnaod in Lake Mkw*ykx cL most methods cue expensive, others are damaging to the lake ecology. Some are not permitted by the DNR Horvestfng and herbicide control remc.in Q. Why don't we )out poison It all? A. Aquatic herbicides are effective in con - trolling EWM. Recent experiences of Hennepin Parks and DNR find the effectiveness is not 100%. Even a series of herbicide treatments results in re- propagation. The widespread use of herbicides is unpredictably damaging to the lake ecology. DNR permits allow only 15% of the lake shoreline to be herbicide treated. �! .1M1 ..•. is i•,•_ 1� i.•1ui �.•� A. In all likelihood, the entire shallow area of the lake, some 5,500 acres, would be taken over by thick weed mats. Use of these areas would be Impossible, depressing property values and businesses dependent on the lace. Q. What ,Gan be done about Eurasian water milfoll? A. Until research discovers a biological or fungicidal enemy for EWM, the most ecologically, economically sound way to mass control the weed is through harvesting, with limited herbicide application. The LMCD is coordinating an Inter - agency committee that Is seeking a king term solution. The research is being guided by the Freshwater Foundatim through the DNR Hennepin Parks, Corps of Engineers, U of M, and others. Q. Will this harvesting benefit me? A. Your continued lake enjoyment requires your participation. In 1989, 687 acres of weed were harvested, 1,340 acres in 1990. This acreage should be 2,000 in 1991. Our goal is increased efficiency at no Increased cost. We plan to harvest closer to docks and do more clear cutting in 1991. Innovative new technologies will be used as their effec- O- Q. What does harvesting cost? A. The LMCD. through the generosity of area residents and businesses. has purchased nearly $400.000 in harvesting equipment. It has been successfully operated for two seasons using funding from the Lakeshore cities, Hennepin County, Hennepin Parks, DNR, and private contributions. The continuing source of funds from all outside resources cannot be guaranteed. VVe must plan to be self sufficient. Each season's budget will re- quirt;, at least $200.000. Q. Where will the funds come from? A. Continuing appropriations from the 14 Lakeshore cities (representing one - fourth) and shares from the county. Hennepin Parks. and DNR. The most significant and dependable share has to come from private donations - Individuals. organizations. foundations and companies. Q. What can I do to help? A.

A subsequent amendment to the findings and recommendations as adopted by the Metropolitan Systems Com- mittee was received 1- 23 -91. Copies of this information are enclosed. The Systems Committee proposed a six months period as an outside time allow- ance during which LMCD and its member cities are to resolve Management Progran issues. The six months time period was recommended to the Board as an exten- sion of the Metropolitan Council's comment and review authority, which is limited by statute to 60 days. That 60 days had an expiration date of 2 -4 -91. The Systems Committee also pledged a staff assistant to guide and facilitate the resolution process between LMCD and its member cities. Upon review by the Board, there was considerable concern to make the best use of time to resolve the differences. The outcome of the Board's review was to approve a 90 day extension of the Metropc1itan Council review and comment period. That begins February 5. Further details of the Board's assessment will be in the 1 -23 -91 Board minutes to follow soon. As of February 6, the first meeting was held with Pat Pahl, manager of the Metro Governance Division, and the assigned staff assistant, Anne Hurlburt, manager, Comprehensive Planning and Local Assistance for the Metropolitan Council.

That statute permits the Council to review a long -term comprehensive plan of independent commissions, boards or agencies within the Metropolitan Area if such plans have a substantial effect on metropolitan development. The Council has 60 days to review the plan and must determine whether the plan is consistent with the Meanpowan Development Guide and the orderly and economic development of the Metropolitan Area. If the Council rinds that the plan, or any part thereof, is not consistent with the Metropolitan Development Guide or detrimental to the orderly and economic development of the Metropolitan Area, it may direct that the operation of the plan or any part thereof, be indefinitely suspended. An affected commission, board or agency may appeal the decision of the Council suspending a plan, or part thereof, to the entire membership of the Council for public hearing. If the Council and the appealing commission, board or agency are unable to agree to an a 'justment of the plan that may receive tht; Council's approval, then a record of the disagreeing positions of the Council and the appealing commission, board or agency must be made. Those position statements and a recommendatior by the Council in connection therewith must be presented for consideration and disposition by Vie next regular session of the Minnesota Legislature. The sixty day review period expires on Feb. 4, 1991. BACKGROUND The Metropolitan Council has had a long -term interest in obtaining greater public access to Lake Minnetonka. In 1979, the Metropolitan Access Committee, on which the Council was represented, listed Lake Minnetonka as a first priority lake with inadequate public access and recommended that improved public access to the lake be implemented by the Council and the Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District. In 1985, when the city of Minnetrista appealed to the State Executive Council over plans of the Minn. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to develop a public access at King's Point on Halsted's Bay, the State Executive Council asked the Council to review access to the lake. The Council formed a task force to address: 1. Boat and shoreline access on the lake 2. Funding for management and access 3. Intergovernmental relations, and 4. Status of research The 1986 task force report concluded that public access was inadequate and that 700 free car /trailer spaces were needed on the lake; that a new process for planning and regulating surface use of the lake was needed; a management plan for the lake should be prepared and expenditures for lake management would need to be increased. Following a review of alternatives for developing a management plan, the Metropolitan Systems Committee eventually agreed that the management plan would be prepared by the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District. On June 23, 1988 the Metropolitan Council adopted the following recommendation of the Metropolitan Systems Committee: That the Metropolitan Council advise the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District: 1. LMCD should proceed on its planning study for Lake Minnetonka under the following conditions: The study will be completed by May of 1990. LMCD will maximize efforts to involve all agencies with authority or responsibility on the lake in its planning. LMCD will brief the Metropolitan Systems Committee on a quarterly basis, beginning in October 1988, about the plan's progress, issues and significant findings. LMCD will convene a meeting or meetings of the agencies with authority or responsibility for Lake Minnetonka to seek a memorandum of understanding that will clarify and simplify the management structure for the lake. This action may take place in conjunction with LMCD's planning activities, but should be concluded as early as practicable. The Council's major objective in working with the Lake Minnetonka communities and with the LMCD was to provide improved public access to the lake. The Council's objectives will be largely realized with the acquisition of Lake Minnetonka Regional Park. The other issues are more local but the Council has an interest in assisting local governments in resolving conflicts, particularly when those conflicts may affect an important regional resource. The LMCD is only one of a number of lake districts within the Metropolitan Area. 'Ihe issues of shoreland management, surface water use, and funding are common to many of the Metropolitan Area lakes. The Council's 1991 work program includes a study of shoreland management and surface use issues for Metropolitan Air., lakes as well as a discussion of what the Council's role should be with respect to those issues. SUMMARY OF PLAN The plan includes sections on recreation management, user experience and satisfaction, shoreland protection, environmental protection and management structure. As described below in the Staff 2 Analysis section of this review, the goals for each of these areas are consistent with the Metropolitan Development Guide and with the orderly and economic development of the Metropolitan Area. The plan, however, falls short with respect to implementation of the goals and, particularly, with respect to implementation of a management structure. The Council directed the LMCD to seek as early as possible a memorandum of understanding among the cities and other agencies with authority on the lake to clarify and simplify management of existing authorities on the lake. The memorandum of understanding could be developed separately from the plan or as part of the planning process. While the plan addresses the management structure for the lake and the LMCD held a number of public meetings on the plan, the management structure remains a major area of disagreement between the LMCD and eight of its fourteen member cities. The disagreements between the cities and the LMCD are fundamental differences in how the LMCD will be organized and funded as well as how it will exercise coordinating authority. As noted in the Staff Analysis, some of the differences with respect to shoreland protection may be attributed in part to confusing language in the document but issues with and funding are more than semantic. This is not a new concern for the Council- -notes from a joint meeting of LMCD and the Metropolitan Systems Committee on May S, 1988 state that "implementation of an LMCD plan is a concern" and that "a frank meeting or meetings to seek a simplified governing process on the lake is still a good idea. [Metropolitan Systems] Committee members did not appear willing to accept the LMCD contention that its process has dealt with the issue." Resolution of these differences and agreement on the use of and coordination of existing authorities is essential for the plan to be implemented. If the plan cannot be. implemented, it cannot be the coordinating mechanism that assures orderly and economic use of a major regional resource. STAFF ANALYSIS FOR CONSISTENCY WITH DEVELOPMENT GUIDE CIIAI'TERS Natural Resources (Dick Osgood) The LMCD report is consistent with the Water Resources chapter of the Metropolitan Development Guide/Policy Plan. The report identifies issues and concerns for Lake Minnetonka that are parallel to those raised in the Citizens League report Losing Lakes. Specifically, due to increasing development and recreation plus decreasing water quality, conflicts will arise which will threaten the overall quality of th:. lake. The LMCD plan recommends using existing programs and authorities to address these concerns rather than adding another "layer of government ". The LMCD report recommends specific management guidelines for regulating development within 1,000 feet of the lake's shoreline and also cites the LMCD's authority to regulate activities below the 929.4 contour but relies on existing authorities for broader watershed -wide protection. Implementation of the plan using existing authorities remains a major question. Comprehensive Planning (Barb Senness) The LMCD management program states that the LMCD will seek to participate in local land use planning and will also work with the Council to determine if the Council can develop procedures for allowing the district to comment on plan reviews of affected local governments. The L14CD added this approach in response to comments that the Council made on the draft management program. The district should be aware that i , member local units of government already have an opportunity to comment on plan amendments for land use changes affecting shoreland management. The Council's review of local plan amendments is designed to deal with amendments expeditiously where no system issues are involved; therefore, if the LMCD has concerns about local plans or plat amendments, it should provide comments to the cities during the local review process and transmit copies of those comments to the Council so that the Council may consider the information in determining the scope of its review. The LMCD should also be aware that the Council has limited authority with respect to local land use planning. The Council can require a local governmental unit to modify its plans only in instances where the plan has an impact on a regional system. Except where the shoreline is in a regional park. the shoreline of Lake Minnetonka is not part of a regional system. Consequently, the Council has limited ability under the Metropolitan Land Planning Act to enforce shoreland protection as outlined in the management program. However, actions of a local government that have an adverse effect on other local governments may be subject to Council review for metropolitan significance. Parks Program (Arne Stefferud) The LMCD plan is generally consistent with the Council's Recreation Open Space chapter of the Metropolitan Development Guide by recognizing Lake Minnetonka Regional Park, Noerenberg Gardens Special Feature and the roles and responsibilities of the Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District in managing those regional recreation open space units. The plan calls for unified and coordinated management and regional funding of all lands of "regional attraction" (the regional park, Wild Goose Chase Island, Wawatasso Island, Big Island, Noerenberg Park, Hennepin County regional railroad authority right -of -way and future acquisitions) on the lake; such an approach must be considered and agreed to by Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District, the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission and the Metropolitan Council. The plan recognizes that financing proposed regional recreation open space capital improvements for the lake must be consistent with the Council's regional recreation open space capital improvement program in order to qualify for regional recreation open space funds from the Council. The LMCD Plan states that the Lake Minnetonka Regional Park shall be a priority for funding by the Council. The plan is correct in that funding for the acquisition of Lake Minnetonka has been identified as a priority by the Council. The priority of funding for development of the park is not currently a priority of the Council. The plan also indicates that funding for LMCD activities will be sought from the Council. The only Council funding for Lake Minnetonka supports acquisition and development of the regional park on the lake. The Council does not have funds to provide for the support of LMCD activities. The plan also states that the LMCD shall participate from the beginning in the planning of the park. Master planning for the park is a joint responsibility of the Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District and the Council. LMCD responsibility is limited to planning for access to the lake. Economic Research Program (Deb Detrick) The management program contains the following Financing proposals for LMCD: - Broaden the property tax base for LMCD funding to cover all of Hennepin county with the 14 lakeshorc communities providing 60 percent of the tax revenue and Hennepin county contributing 40 percent. In the proposal, visitor origin data is supposed to determine the county share paid by an expanded tax levy. - Maximize revenues from user fees and expand the user fee system to include a Lake Minnetonka sticker for boats used on the lake. As an alternative, a regional license is �..»� proposed. Seek local, regional, state and federal grants. Place the existing levy outside the cities' and county's levy limits. Make regional capital improvement program funds available for implementing proposed capital projects. The Metropolitan Development and Investment Framework (M13I1D supports the user fee approach and the use of outside funds for specialized functions. The proposed boat sticker or regional license ideas probably involves more than just expanding current user fees. Approval of special stickers or a regional license could complicate how revenue from state licenses is allocated. Would a sticker or a license create disincentives for lake use? Is it the most efficient and fair way to link use with payment for resource management? Metro Division (Pat Pahl) The following analysis covers the three elements of the plan which have been objected to in varying degrees by eight of the member cities of the LMCD. The correspondence from the cities and the LMCD as well as the comments made by each at the January 8, 1991 Metropolitan Systems Committee meeting indicate that the language in the plan conveys different messages to different readers. For example, the use of "shall" throughout the plan contributes to the different interpretations because the term "shall" connotes "must or mandatory" and is used by the LMCD in many instances in which they do not have authority to act and have stated elsewhere that they do not intend to seek authority to act. To reduce or eliminate conflict based on interpretation, the plan should be rewritten to clearly state the level of authority the LMCD intends to exercise. FUNDING The plan recommends a supplemental boat license fee to support enforcement activities on the lake. DNR now licenses boats and provides boat safety funds for Lake Minnetonka. The DNR opposes licensing at less than a state -wide level because each large lake is likely to seek its own revenue source. The legislature must address the issue whether individual lake districts will be allowed to collect supplemental license fees or whether an expanded state -wide boat license fee would be preferable. The plan also recommends a property tax levy on all of Hennepin county but does not indicate the amount of the levy other than to state that it would be within the current statutory limit of one mill. Nor is there any estimate in the plan of the amount of revenue needed, how those revenues would be allocated to services provided by LMCD and the incidence of the tax (who pays). The plan bases its proposal for a county -wide levy on research indicating that most users of the lake are from Hennepin county. The converse is not true, however, that most residents of Hennepin county are users of the lake. Because of the lack of information, an assessment of the need for additional property tax revenues cannot be made. GOVERNANCE The plan proposes retaining the existing structure until new funding sources are in place. At that time, the plan recommends adaing to the current fourteen members that are appointed by and represent a lakeshore city an additional five members representing the Metropolitan Council, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the watershed district, Hennepin County and the Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District. 17he proposed structure appears to have several shortcomings: The plan recommends that membership continue to be citizen -based although that type of membership has contributed to the problems currently faced by the LMCD in getting support from its member cities for a plan developed by citizen representatives of those cities. The cities either did not give a clear charge to their representatives or exercise adequate oversight over the activities of those representatives. The plan recommends that, if regional funding is obtained, the LMCD should be expanded to include representation from the Metropolitan Council, the DNR, the watershed district, Hennepin County and Hennepin Parks. With the exception of Hennepin county, none of the agencies mentioned would be a funding agent in the same sense as the lakeshore cities. Any funds obtained from the Council, the DNR or Hennepin Parks v.ould probably be administered on a contractual basis. The oversight needed to administer those grants as well as the oversight that must be exercised by these agencies in other areas of LMCD responsibility would suggest that the agencies should not sit on the governing board of the LMCD. SHORELAND MANAGEMENT The DNR has delegated to the LMCD the role of achieving consistency among the lakeshore communities with respect to shoreland management regulation. Coordination of local authorities was one of the goals of a management plan for the lake. The LMCD plan and its shoreland management guidelines are designed to ensure a necessary level of consistency among cities so that appropriate lake management standards are adopted. The LMCD states in its plan that it is not asking for additional authority but intends to function as a review body to insure that consistent regulations are adopted and enforced. This, however, is one of the plan elements where the language should be reworked to clarify for local govemments exactly what level of authority the LMCD will seek to exercise. The language may have contributed to differences of opinion between some of the lakeshore cities and the LMCD as to whether the LMCD would in fact be exercising additional authority if it were to implement its plan. The cities have raised several concerns which they believe the LMCD has not addressed: 1) that for cities completely within the 1000 ft. rule for shoreland management, city control of land use effectively is assigned to the LMCD/DNR, 2) that for cities that have shoreland within their city on more than lake Minnetonka, the LMCD rules would control all shoreland within the city, mid 3) in at least one instance, it lakeshore city has in place a shoreland ordinance approved by the. DNR that is not consistent with LMCD guidelines. DNR regulations do allow for flexibility in preparing the ordinances based utxm the uuiyuc needs of individua! cities. To address (tie cities' concerns, the LMCD met on Dec. 12, with rmmbcr cities and agreed to create a technical review committee composed of representatives of all lakc.; ore cities plus a DNR and LMCD representative. The technical review committee will review each ci,y's 6 shoreland ordinance and any other related controls where flexibility is requested. The committee will also review in their entirety all ordinances prepared for adoption for consistency with DNR and ti 1CD Management Program requirements. Based on its review, the technical committee would recon, "flexibility" allowances for cities to meet their individual needs. The process drafted by the LMCD worki, a with the DNR does not differ substantially in it effect from that of having the DNR directly review the cities' shoreland ordinances. In an effort to reassure Lakeshore cities that the LMCD did not intend to assume any new authority with respect to land use, the LMCD on Jan. 10, 1991 drafted a memorandum of understanding that the city of Spring Park is considering (see Attachment 1). The LMCD hopes to use this agreement as a model for other lakeshore cities that have objected to the LMCD plan. The LMCD has stated that it will attempt to reach comparable memorandum of understanding with each of the remaining seven cities prior to the Metropolitan Systems Committee meeting on Jan. 22, 1991. The memorandum of understanding may address the cities' concerns with shoreland management issues but it does not address the broader issues of lake management envisioned by the Council when it directed LMCD to seek agreement from the cities and agencies with authority on the lake for a clearer and simpler management structure. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING The final directive of the Council on June 23, 1988 to the LMCD was that the "LMCD will convene a meeting or meetings of the agencies with authority or responsibility for Lake Minnetonka to seek a memorandum of understanding that will clarify and simplify the management strucWl ire for the lake." This activity was to be concluded as early as practicable. The LMCD has not met this directive. In €ormation submitted by the LMCD demonstrates that the LMCD held numerous public meetings on the management plan (see Attachment 2) but has not undertaken an effort to bring the lakcshorc cities and other governmental agencies together to discuss authorities and agiree on how those will be exercised and coordinated. The lack of such agreement clearly jeopardizes the implementation of this management plan and makes it ineffective as a coordinating mechanism for protecting the quality of the lake and for providing public access. The management issues on the lake do not require additional authority but they do require that existing authority be exercised in a consistent and coordinated manner. The Council is willing to assist the cities and the LMCD in reaching an agreement. In discussions at the Jan. 8, 1991 Metropolitan Systems Committee meeting, six months was suggested as a reasonable time to allow for the process of reaching agreement. However, if the cities and the LMCD cannot agree on a management structure, the Council will look to the legislature to address the issue of coordination of Puthorities on Lake Minnetonka. FINDINGS 1. The LMCD has met Cot,.ICil directives to complete a management plan within a two -year period; to involve all agencies with authority or responsibility on the lake in its planning, and to brief the Metropolitan Systems Committee quarterly, beginning in October, 1 about the plan's progress, issues and significant findings. 2. The LMCD has not met the final directive of the Council - to bring the cities and other responsible agencies together to seek a memorandum of understanding that clarifies and simplifies the management structure for the lake. The lack of a memorandum of understanding jeopardizes implementation of the LMCD management plan and makes it ineffective in protecting the quality of the lake and in providing public access. 7 3. The governance; structure proposed in the plan has several shortcomings. It retains a citizen - based membership which has not worked well for the preparation of the management plan because the cities either have not given their representatives a clear charge or have not exercised sufficient oversight over their representatives. Council membership on an expanded LMCD is not appropriate given the oversight role o! the Council. 4. The funding structure would rely on user fees which the Council's MDIF supports. The plan also calls for a county -wide mill levy but does not provide information regarding the amount of funding needed, the revenues such a levy would generate, the incidence of a property tax and the equity of charging all county taxpayers to support regulatory and enforcement activities on the lake. 5. The shoreland management guidelines prepared by the LMCD must be adopted by each of the lakeshore cities to be consistent with DNR regulations. Those regulations provide for flexibility in the ordinance requirements to meet the unique needs of individual cities. The LMCD has set up a technical review committee composed of lakeshore city representatives and representatives of the LMCD and DNR to determine the needed flexibility. 6. The language in the plan is not clear and has led to interpretations of the plan by the cities that differ with the LMCD's interpretation of the Plan, particularly with respect to the level of authority that the LMCD will exercise or will seek to exercise. The plan should be rewritten to eliminate confusing and unclear language. 7. The LMCD has stated that it may have reached.agre�ettl..with orte of the eight cities opposing the plan with respect to shoreiand management only. The LMCD has stated its intention of reaching similar agreements with the other seven cities. 8. The goals of the Lake Minnetonka Long Term Management Program are consistent with the Metropolitan Development Guide but the inability of the LMCD to implement those goals interferes with the orderly and economic development of a major resource for the Metropolitan Area. 9. Agreement on a management structure, either through acceptance of the plan by member cities, or through a formal memorandum of understanding, is essential to approval of the plan. 10. The LMCD is encouraged to comment to its member cities and to the Council on local plan amendments affecting the use or water quality of Lake Minnetonka. To ensure that LMCD comments are available when the Council determines the scope of its review, the LMCD should provide its comments when the amendments are circulated for local review. 11. The Council does not have authority under the Metropolitan Land Planning Act to require local governments to modify plans affecting shoreland unless the plan affects a reional recreation area. Actions of one local government that adversely affect another local governments may be reviewed by the Council under its metropolitan significance rules. 0 RECOMMENDATION That the Metropolitan Council: Adopt the above report and findings; Suspend approval of the plan until agreement among the cities and other responsible agencies has been reached on a management structure for the lake; Encourage the lak^.shore cities to work with the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District to reach agreement with the Council providing staff assistance to facilitate agreement; and Bring before the legislature the issue of Lake Minnetonka management if agreement is not reached within a six -month period.
