Mayor and Members of the Council, My name is Alan Olson. I would like you to consider me for selection as Mound!s member on the Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant Planning Area Citizen Advisory Committee. I live with my wife and three children at 5724 Lynwood Blvd. We have been Mound residents for three years. I am just now completing my first year as a member of the Mound Volunteer Fire Department. I have been employed by the city of 0rono for three years and currently hold the position of Village Planner. As such, I am head of the Building and Zoning Department acting as the zoning administrator and chief building official. Because of this work, I am familiar with the Block Grant program and have. had . some contact with Larry Blackstad. I think that the Block Grant program can have some real benefits for a small city like Mound. The concern of course is in keeping it simple and minimizing red ~ape for the city and the citizen. Despite its long name, I think that this c~mmittee can have a positive effect. I would like to help. I would co~der~it an honor and a privilege to serve Mound as a member of this co~aittee.

The City already has title to the lots in green. The owner has given the City deeds for the lots, but there are delinquent taxes on the lots. The question is, "Should the City pay $2,322.65 in back taxes and have complete ownership or just wait until they go tax forfeit and then take them by tax title?" If the City never has any intention to build on the lots~ then there is no use in holding them outright. However, should at sometime in the future the City want to do something with them, it might be worth while owning them. CITY OF MOUND Mound, Minnesota January 8, 1979 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM NO. 79-6 SUBJECT: Accident Survey - County Road 15 Attached is a copy of an accident study that ~he Council may wish to question the Police Chief about when the flashing cross walk markers are discussed on January 9th. The report in my opinion indicates a need for a traffic signal at Wilshire and Shoreline and possibly better signing near Cypress Road. ON LAK~ M|NNETONKA INDIAN BURIAl.. MOUND! 5341 MAYWOOD ROAD TELEPHONE MOUND, MINNESOTA 55364 (612) 472-1155 January 5, 1979 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Leonard Kopp - City Manager Charles Johnson - Chief of Police Vehicle and Traffic Flow in Downtown Mound Area I agree with the Hennepin County Traffic Engineer, Dennis Hanson, and Mound Public Works Director, Bob Shanley, that the installation of flashing crosswalk signals in downtown Mound, would not solve the pedestrian safety problem. Rather, the issue that must be addressed is the overall engineering, design, and construction necessary to improve both pedestrian and vehicle traffic flow. The traffic volumn alon9 on Cty. Rd. 15 and Cty. Rd. 110 have increased substantially over the years, and continue to increase, yet there has been no significant improvements or modifications in traffic routing. ~I recently requested CSO, .Steve Schlachter, to put together a preliminary accident survey of the downtown area. The survey was of accidents from January 1, 1977~ to October 30, 1978, and included the area of Cty. Rd. 15 from Wilshire west to the "S" curve west of Commerce, and on Cty. Rd. 110 from Lynwood south to Bartlett. A copy of this survey is attached. In summary, there were 121 reported accidents during this period, causing an estimated damage to property of $105,325. There were 225 vehicle involved in these accidents and a total of 45 persons injured. The damage involved in these accidents do not include any type of medical care for the injured persons. these amounts were known, the dollar loss would be considerably higher. It should be noted that these were only the accidents reported. Undoubtedly, there were other minor unreported accidents which we would have no record of. There have been no reported pedestrian accidents for several years.in the area, yet the obvious hazard exists and improvements should be made before a serious accident or fatality occurs. The police department does enforce the traffic statutes applicable to pedestrian safety. The statute is difficult to enfore as it is very ambiguous and does not give clear right of way to a pedestrian. Minnesota Statute 119.21 sub. 2 states, "Where traffic control signals are not in place or in operation, the driver of a vehicle shall yield the right of way, slowing down or stopping if need be to so yield, to a pedes- trian crossing the roadway within a crosswalk, but no pedestrian shall suddenly leave the curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle which is so close that it is impossible for the driver to yield." This would mean tkat a vehicle need not stop, just slow dc~n in yielding to a pedestria~. Also, a pedestrian would be precluded from entering a crosswalk when a vehicle is so close as to create a hazard. This hazard is nearly always present in the downtown area due to tha extremely Mr. Kopp January 5, 1979 Page ~o heavy volumn of vehicle traffic. This statute also states, "When any vehicle is stopped at a marked crosswalk or at any unmarked crosswalk at any intersection to permit a pedestrian to cross the roadway, the driver of any other vehicle approaching from the rear shall not overtake and pass the stopped vehicle." Drivers violating this section of the statute clearly are in violation and when seen are issued citations, however, it should be noted that this applies only to drivers approaching from the rear of the stopped vehicle. When a patrol car is in the area, there are few violations undoubtedly because drivers, upon observing a patrol vehicle, exercise more caution. It would be impractical, however, to assign an officer to this location during all busy times. The attached traffic survey should, at this time, be forwarded to the Hennepin County Traffic Engineering Division for further study, if the City Council agrees that a serious problem does exist and should, at this time, be more completely addressed.

(612) 472-1155 January 5, 1979 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Leonard Kopp - City Manager Charles Johnson - Chief of Police Warning Siren A number of problems and inadequacies have come to light in the function of the Mound Emergency Warning System. The system is to provide audio warning for nuclear disasters, natural disasters, and fire warning. When the problem of unwanted or false siren calls developed some time ago, I analyzed the entire system, with the help of the Hennepin County Emergency Preparedness Agency, Continental Telephone Co., and Lehn Electric Service. Co., a specialist in warning. sirens. The way this system originally worked was as follows: 1. The nuclear and national disaster warning had to be activated manually from the police department by pressing a button. 2. Notification to activate the warning was supplied by a bell and light warn- ing located within the police department, which was activated by Hennepin Cty. Emergency Preparedness, or if no one were in the office, the warning was received by radio from Hennepin Cty. Dispatch and'someone would have to come to the office to activate the warning device. 3. The fire warning was activated by a radio signal from Hennepin Cry. radio which was transmitted to the fire station, which in turn tripped a relay, which in turn sent a signal over telephone lines to the City Hall, which in turn tripped another relay, which in turn activated the signal which was transmitted by telephone lines to the tower located in the downtown area of Mound. It was determined that the cause or causes of the malfunctions could be either in the telephone lines themselves, the relays, or the number of relays necessary to activate the siren, or the excessive use of telephone circuits needed to operat~ this system in the manner in which it was set up. Further, it was determined that by activating the nuclear, and national disaster warning manually, was totally inadequate because the City Hall is not manned during non-business hours'or on weekends. By having a person, after receiving a radio call, drive to the City Hall to activate the siren would cause an unnecessary delay and if a disaster were eminent, the warning could, in fact, be too late. Mr. Kopp January 5, 1979 Page Two A number of modifications to the system were then decided upon to insure a minimum number of false calls, a minimum number of breakdowns, and an immediate warning to the citizens of the area in case of nuclear or natural disaster. These goals would be accomplished in the followi.ng manner: 1. Relocate all relays, timing devices, and switching devices to the City Hall. This procedure would insure that the system would have better security and would eliminate a number of relays and telephone lines necessary to activate either the disaster warning or fire warning. 2. Install the proper circuitry to allow the Metropolitan Warning System to automatically activate both the downtown siren and Island Park siren in case of nuclear or natural disaster, thereby eleminating any delay in manually activating this warning. A number'of problems have developed in implementing the goals to update the system. These delays were primarily caused because the equipment currently installed in the City is dated and obtaining replacement and repair parts involve lengthy delays. Secondly, an electrician strike during the summer of 1978, delayed the electrical contract to some extent. To date, the modifications to the system are approximately 75% complete. The radio warning device and appropriate relays have been removed from the fire station to the City Hall and the telephone circuits formerly used by them have been disconnected. Secondly, the necessary relay to allow the Metropolitan Warning System to activate the sirens automatically, has been ordered and installed. The remaining items to be completed are the physical hook-up of the telephone circuits from Northwestern Bell to Continental for the Metropolitan Warning System, and the final installation of the control center within the City Hall for the entire warning system. These tas!<s are to be completed, according to Lehn Electric Co. and'Continental Telephone Co., by January 12, 1979. As work has gone on in the warning system, there have been 3 or 4 occasions on which false siren warnings have been emited. There has also .been ~ire siren warnings during the late evening and early morning hours which were unwanted. A temporary time device has been included in the fire warning system to stop the fire warning during the late evening and early morning hours and the permenant installation will be completed by January 12th. While the remainder of the necessary equipment is being installed, a complete test of all pieces of equipment will once again be conducted to help insure that there will be no more false warnings. Also, Continental Telephone Co. will be installing new cable pairs in the warning system at the same time due to the fact that the false warnings may have been started by some type of faulty cable pairs. In summary, by January 12, 1979, the City will have an automatic warning system both downtown and on .the Island for nuclear and natural disaster warni.n~s. The Mound fire warning system will automatically cut-off between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. All warning relays and timers together with a manual over-ride for the system, will be centrally located within the City Hall.

It appears~thru the uncovered windows~to be both a fire hazard and a public health hazard and the building, in general, does not appear to be fit for inhabitation. It is suggested that the City Attorney, Mr. Pearson, be directed by the City Council, in accordance with Sec. 60.52 sub. 2 (b), initiate the proper law suits to permenantly abate the nusiance that exists on this property. It is also suggested the applicable procedures be initiated by the building inspector and the City health officer be initiated to condemn this property. It is unknown if the criminal penalties prescribed for violation of the ordinance will have any effect on the actions of Mr. Lund in that in the past, they have not.

The collection of this debris is also in violation of Chapter 60, Mound City Ordinance, dealing with maintaining a nusiance. In that he has allowed and continued to allow structures which have been damaged and decayed and which are situated so as to endanger the safety of the public. Further, the accumulation of this junk and rubbage have accumulated in such a manner that it is likely to become a breeding place for flies and mosquitos or vermin. Further, the dumping of this garbage is a nonconforming use of the residential A-1 zoni.ng for this property and Mr. 'Lund has not received a variance from the City Council to allow this use of the land.

When he failed to comply with the abatement order, the Hound Public Vorks Department atte~pted to remove rubbish from the land, however, they were unable to complete the task an¢~ only a' small amount of building blocks and materials were removed at that time. During the same period, the Hound Police Department removed abandoned vehicles from the property also. Sin¢~ that time, Mr. Lund has made no effort to further abate this problem, but rather has allowe~ the refuse to stay stored on the property. As of this date, 01-03-79, Mr. Lurid has allowed numerous items to accumulate on the property which are in violation of the City Ordinance. These. items are described as follows: In the southwest quadrant of the lot is a delapitated metal shed sittin§ approximately 3' off the roadway, a dead tree which has fallen towards the roadway and rests approximately 10' off the roadway. A rusted, apparently inoperable cement mixer,- and an approximate 20' w~od boat which is delapitated and rotting apart. The northwest quadrant of the lot sits another smaller abandoned wood boat which is rotted ou~ and large piles of wood scrap, scrap metal, trash, and a larg~ delapitated shed which was apparently a party of a pontoon boat at one time. In the southeast quadran of the lot is some type of abandoned rotted seat or cushion, large piles of building blocks, scraps of wood and trash, an unlicensed boat trailer, and ~nother boat approximately 20' long, made of wood.which is delapitated and rotting, a small temporary shack, and other scrap metal and junk. In the northeast quadrant of the lot is more of wood scraps, blocks, and other miscellaneous trash. The entire lot and dwelling and sheds are in disaray with trash and refuse throughout the entire lot area. Photographs were taken on 01-03-79, by Off.

Kopp 5341Maywood Road Mound,:MN 55364 Re: Harry Lund's property Dear Leonard: Approximately 1 month .ago, I met with Bob Shanley at my Mound office to discuss the condition of Mr. Lund"s property. As I recall our conversation, Mr. Shanley informed me that sometime ago Mr. Lund had been issued an order by the City Health officer to abate the nuisance, (i.e., to clean~up his property): Naturally, Mr. Lund did not clean up the premises, and for some reason, the City did not completely remove the refuse. Mr. Shanley inquired as to whether the City could once .again abate the nuisance. I informed Mr. Shanley that too much time had elapsed, and the City would be wise to once again issue an order to abate before the City removed anymore refuse. Naturally, a formal complaint could be issued against mr. Lund charging him with maintaining a public nuisance. (See section 60.53). If Mr. Lund plead guilty or was found guilty of the charge, I'm sure a Judge would suspend part of the fine and possible jail 'time on condition that he clean up the area within a specified time. If we were deali.ng with a completely rational individual, I believe this would be the correct approach to use. Unfortunately, my experience with Mr. Lund is that he would rather spend time in jail then clean up his property. The time involved for the criminal process to be completed would be approximately 4 months. (It would depend largely on whether or not Mr. Lund requested a jury trial). The third approach which you may want to employ is condemnation. Perhaps, the realization of possible eviction would convince Mr, Lund to improve the condition of his property. I trust this letter is of some assistance. If you have any questions, please give me a call. Very truly yours, TLP: emf /'~ 7 ON LAK~. ~v]|NN~T'ONKA INDIAN BURIAL MOUNDg 534]. MAYWOOD ROAD TELEPHONE MOUND, MINNESOTA 55364 (612) 472-].155 December 26, 1978 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Mr. Kopp Public Works Director ~!ean-up at ~32 Lamberton As per your request please find attached all of the information we have on file regardin§ the Lund property. The followin9 is a report on what has been done to this date as near as we can put it to~ether without information from Mr, Miner. On December 20, 1977 we received notice from the Chief of Police to clean up the vacant lot at ~32 Lamberton. (copy attached) The work began on Monday~ December ~6, 1977. We took two trucks~ a lo,der and ~ men to the site and began loading the cement blocks. After approximately ~ hours Mr. Lund appeared at the site end told the crew that they were trespassing.. He stated that if they didn't have a court order he would get a gun and take care of the next person that came on his property. At this time the Street Department Foreman 3ames Krause decided it would be best to leave until things were settled in some other manner. We had approximately 260 12" cement blocks on the trucks which the crew unloaded at our storage area in Lost Lake. i~. Krause then notified Mr. Miner and he contacted the Police Department. From this point on the information becomes rather sketchy without Mr. Miners assistance. I would believe from notes written on letters attached that Mr. Miner then cal~ed our attorney Mr. Phleger for assistance and guidance in the matter. The Public Works Department then received the attached letter from the Attorney that states to go ahead but no other papers are on file at this office. . As near as raemory can serve any of our employees we then ran into some snow falls which took the work force away from this project. ~fter th~s point none of us knowwhy it was not taken up .again. AFc, SUBJECT: Clean up at ~32 Lamberton (Continued) Page On December 13, 1978 you sent a letter to the attorney Mr. Piepkorn and myself requ~stin§ the necessary procedure to go ahead with the project. Previous to this you conversed with me on th~s subject and I had s meeting with Mi'. Piepkorn on November 10, 1978. At this time he recommended we start the complete proeedttre over again. On Wednesday, November 1~, 1978 I notified the Chief of Police that the City requested him to start the procedure again. He then began working Wlth'the Building Inspector on a possible new way to take care of this problem which I am sure will be in his report. Iff you will read the description of the junk that was on the property in the attached report it will give you an idea of what is still there. The only thing the Public Works Department removed were about 260 cement blocks. There are s,;zll about 80 blocks left. So far we have approximately $~60.00 in charges against the clean-up done to this date. I am sure that the new procedttre will take us into late winter before we can go to clean it up, I would like to recommend that if at all possible the work be' done in the sprin§ after the snow has melted. This would enable us to clean up the blocks and other articles when they are not frozen to the ground and will not break while tryin~ to remove th~m. If it can be done at that time and we can have. police assistance~with the proper papers in hand, I will put as many Public Works e~..ployees on Et as possible. It is my feelin§s that we can do this ~n two days and have the lot presentable to the neighborhood as they have requesfied. Respectfully,.

Action should be taken on the following: Dock Location Map Changes The ordinance calls for dock map changes to be recommended in December by the Park Commission and passed on by the Council in January. Proposed changes and recommendations: 1. Emerald Channel - The Park Commission recommended the status of 5 dock sites remain until the legality of property lines is established. 2. Carlson Park - The Park Commission recommendation is to reduce the number of dock site locations from ten sites to nine sites. Villa Lane - Recommended that there be only one dock shared by two residents as long as the so called permanent dock is located there, but that it return to two sites if the present dock is removed. Arbor Lane - Recommended that the dock sites be reduced from three to two. Chateau Access - Recommendation that present two dock sites be reduced to one using the L.M.C.D. guidelines, Roanoke Access - Shoreline be changed from type "C" to type "D'? and that this access have shoreline extended along Devon Commons 90 feet West of the present location. Sunrise Landing - Be designated for one dock only. This is also used as a boat launching area. Dock Site 51850 - Reclassify from Class C to Class D shoreline. Dock Sites 2260 and 2280 are 15 feet apart. It i's recommended that they go to 30 foot spacing through attrition. cc: D.

De Laney. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Larson and a motion was made by Peterson seconded by Shay that the minutes of the November 9, 1978 meeting be approved as sub- mitted, the vote was unanimously in favor. Item 3 of the.agenda was moved ahead: Dock Location Map for 1979 ~//~A motion was made by Shay and seconded by Case that: Emerald Channel be left in its present status of five (5) dock sites until the legality ~f the p~opert~ lines has been established. Unanimously approved.' A motion was made by Lynott and seconded by Anderson that: 4 C~reduce the dock site location from ten (lO) to nine (9) sites. ~proved.- N-----=--'-'''-' [_'ote: Dock spacing is too close for safe boat maneuverability. Unanimously A motion was made by Shay seconded by Hasek' that: Villa Lan~ be one dock site inasmuch as dock presently there is considered a permanent ~'"~ock burn'hat it be shared to accommodate two residents. Be it further stipulated that in the event this permanent dock is removed, that two (2) dock sites will be located at Villa Lane. Unanimously approved. Note: Permanent dock consists of huge pilings driven into lake bottom and would envolve excessive expense to remove same and owner is willing to share this dock with another dock permit holder. A. motion was made by Larson and seconded by Hasek that:' ¥Arbor Lane be reduced from present three (3) dock sites to two (2) and that dock sites ~ to fit· property, uslng'guidblines established by the L.M.C D. Unanimously approved. ' A motion was made by Shay and seconded by Anderson that: Chateau Access dock sites no~ accommodating two (2) be reduced to one (1), using the LMCD ~'Ui'oe.~'~n~nanimously approved. Note: This area is only 30 feet wide and cannot safely accommodate'two (2) dock sites. A motion was made by Ha.sek and seconded by Lynott that: Roanoke~_A~.c_.c~ shoreline be changed from.,~resent ty~p~"C" to type "D" and that this access ~-~extended to Devon Commons, 90 feet West of present location.

A motion was made by Lynott and seconded by Shay that: Sunris~_L,~i~_q~'n be designated for one dock site only. Unanimously approved. ~I~6: This is a boat launching area only 40 feet wide, consequently will only accommodate one dock site safely and still allow boats to be launched. A motion was made by Lynott and seconded by Shay that: Dock site 51850 have shoreline reclassification from present type "C" to type U n ~'~'~-~ ap~'r:oved. ' 'Minutes of Mound Adivi rE Commission Meeting Decemb014, i978 continued Page 2 M0t~0n made by Hasek and seconded by'Shay that: ~/~fDock sites 2260 and 2280 are too clOsely spaced having only 15 feet between markers and when revi~-wing~l--~-~tions in 1979 these sites be considered for 30 foot spacing be- tween markers through attrition. Unanimously approved. Ahrens wanted it on record that any 12 foot spacing between dock sites is inappropriate 'and a hazard to safety of citizens-an.d boat owners alike. Comments from citizens present: George Gardner Paul Axt Dick Archer Roger Bondhus Jerry Tasa ~itchel] Erickson Don Brandenburg Frank Matachek Majorie Peterson Dave Anderson Wm. Kelly Bob Kolan Pete Haystek 6056 Ridgewood Road 6046 Ridgewood Road 1737 Wildhurst Lane 1604 Eagle Lane 3800 Enchanted Lane 1713 Canary Lane 2567 Emerald Drive 2530 Ruby Lane 1566 Eagle Lane 1571 Finch Lane 1725 Wildhurst Lane 3223 Gladstone Lane 4747 Island View Drive Brandenburg submitted a written reply on Emerald Channel from the City Dock Permit Holders. Bondhus'submitted a letter requesting .hange in Section 26.9303 Subd 6 regarding priority in issuing dock permits. Motion made by Ahrens and seconded by ~derson to deny the written request of Roger Bondhus as presented. Unanimously approved to deny request. Matachek expressed his opinion that mandatory dock site spacing of 12, 20 or 30 feet was not necessary. That area of sites should determine spacing, quiet bay could easily adopt to 12 foot spacing but areas of rough waters would possibly need 30 feet per site. Sug- gested that dock inspector determine dock spacing. Larson gave explanation of L.M.C.D.'s authority on lake, our dock permitS are restricted to 400 and with wider spacing between dock sites Mound would not be lossing dock sites but merely extending them to other a'reas. With attrition, we hope t~at present dock holders wil-1 not be penalized. That obtaining a dock permit from the City is a privilige that residents enjoy. Question from the floor on possibility of City erecting a multiple docking facility, sim- ilar to commercial marinas and charging fee to residents who would use it: Larson explained how we are limited to number of dock permits by LMCD and wh~ther we spread them 'along the shoreline of the various commons or would put many in a permanent m'ultiple marina, we would still only be allowed appx. 400. Question from the floor regarding'expanding footage between dock sites and would it ultim- ately reduce the number of site: · Larson explained on the limited number of dock permits the L.M.C.D. allows Mound to issue. We are not reducing the number Of permits issued, only expanding the space between them and relocating some sites to other areas on the commons and this is mostly through attri- tion so that holders would not be severely penalized on relocating. Long Range Planning Report: Larson requested a map that would illustrate the pro§ress on the Park plans on Three Points Park and Island Park Park. These have been steadily going ahead but to th9 average cit- izen that inquires on this there is no visible indication of wha~ has been done to date Minutes of Mound Advisory Park Commission Meeting, December 14, 1978 continued: Page 3 and what is. still to be done in the. future to have these'parks completed. Although not dealing with dock location map, it was brought out by Larson that~the ques- tion of excessive accum~ulation of tires on shore and on the lake bottom. The dock or- 'dinance does allow the use of. tires as bumpers on docks but they must be securely fastened, have holes drilled on the bottom to allow the escape of water and not become mosquetio breeding places. Will have to enforce this portion of the ordinance more stringently. Recourse would be to comdemn the dock and the holder would have 10 days to correct the situation or the dock would be condemned and holder would not be allowed to have license the following year or would have to get on the waiting list for a dock permit. City Maffager's Report: Kopp.corrected the length of terms for Bailey and Shay, should be effective through 1981. Larson requested that if possible, Anderson's term be extended to expire in 1981, which allows a more even number of commissioners terms expiring in a given year rather than having them bunched up for expiration at one time. Kopp informed Commission that the firm of Isberg, Riesenberg, Chelseth & Associates, Inc. at 2116 2nd Ave. So. Mpls. Mn. 55404, phone 871-5628, have been selected as City Planners. Chuck Reisenberg will be working with Mound on the Comprehensive Plan and this will en- compass the Park Plan and he will collaborate with members for their input. His schedule is to be in the office on Fvi'days. Owner of property described as LOts 7, 8, 9 & 10, Block 23, Devon and Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 14, 15, 18, 19 and 20, Block 22 Whipple has.again offered this land to the City. Is the park Commission interested in 'acquiring this property? It is wetlands and'underwater. Motion made by Ahrens and seconded by Shay, the budget does not allo~ considering the purchase of this property but the.Park Board would accept this property as dedicated land to the CitY. Motion unanimously approved. Park & Tree Coordinator's Report: Bollis stated that the warming house at Tyrone Park is ready. They have selected an attendant and he would like to know what. hours the'Commission favors for having it opened with supervised attendant. This would include weekdays and evenings and the weekends. Consensus was weekdays appx. 3:30 to 9:00 P.M. and weekends possibly from 1:00 to 5:00 P.M. Warming.-house would only be open during hours supervision is furnished but the use of the rink would be available at all times. Mound Bay Park will have rink on the lake with enclosure of snow fencing to kee'p snow off r~nk and establish area as skating recreational facilities. Possibility of hooking up loudspeaker from Community Center so that music could be piped out to skaters. Tyrone Park has a'grade that slopes sharply and there is possibility of using ~ll to enlarge this area by appx. 50 feet or could regrade so there would be a more gentle.slope. City Council Representative Report: Withhart 'informed Commission that Park plans are being considered by Council and Staff and tha~ information time table on Three Points Park, Island Park Park and Doone Park~ will inform Commission in advance of when construction will' begin and at what s!:age it is in, i.e. grading,planting trees, seeding etc. City and School District have signed a Joint Agreement for Youth Service Employ,aent and Ice Rink Supervision.

ENGINEERS ~ LAND SURVEYORS ,~ SITE PLANNERS December 19, 1978 Reply To: 12805 Olson Memorial Highway Minneapolis, Minnesota 55441 (612) 559-3700 Mr. Leonard Kopp City Manager City of Mound 5341Maywood Road Mound, Minnesota 55364 Subject: City of Mound Watermain Repair Dear Mr. Kopp: As requested, we submit' the following proposal for a study and report on replacing or repairing watermains in the area north of County Road 15 and west of County Road ll0 where the CitY has experienced numerous breaks in the last few years. The watermains in this area were installed in the early 1930's with lead joint cast iron pipe. It appears that the watermain break problem intensified after the sewer construction when the sewers were built adjacent to and under the watermain. The public works deparfment reports that many of the breaks occur where the sewer crossed the watermain. Based upon what we understand of the type of watermain breaks experienced in this area, the probable cause of.the breaks are a combination of unsuitable soils (around the pipe), the soils around the watermain being disturbed by the sewer construction, and old pipe. In the last few years almost all watermain has been ductile iron pipe rather than cast iron pipe. Ductile iron pipe is more £1exible than cast iron and deflects rather than breaks under moderate stress. There have also been major improvements in pipe joints since the old lead joint pipe. .. The cost of complete].y replacing a watermain is very high. Each water service must be located and retapped into the new main. The hydrants in this area do not have gate valves and we would reconm~end that these be instal]ed if the watermain is replaced. Minneapolis - Hutchinson - A'.~xandria - Granite Falls ,O'.u' ." 'L,:/ ; ~:7:~ Mr. Leonard Kopp December 19, 1978 Page TWO In addition to this, there is a great deal of inconvenien(:e to the residents of the area in that alternate sources of water must be provided during the construction and the streets may be closed during the construction. The cost of continually repairing watermain breaks is also considerable. An average break costs approximately $600 to $800 to repair. This does not include the cost of street resurfacing. A break in the Three Points area last winter cost $6,000 to repair. Our study would consist of two phases. The first would be to have soil borings and soil investigations performed to determine what is causing the pipe failures and what steps should be taken to prevent these in the future. The second phase would be to give recommendations and cost estimates on which watermains should be replaced or repair8d. These would be based on past water- main break experience, economic considerations, and perhaps a prediction of future watermain failures based on the soil informa- tion gathered. We estimate the cost of the study at $4,000. Approximately 60% of this cost will be for soils investigations. We feel these investigations are worthwhile in that they will help determine the limits of the area to be repaired; will provide information needed for cost estimating purposes; and will enable us to determine whether or not extensive soil correction work is required in these areas. The PUblic ~Vorks Department of Mound has good records of watermain breaks in the City. Together with these and a thorough soils investigation a program for repair and/or replacement of watermains can be made based on sound engineering and economic judgement. If the watermain must be replaced, the work should be done prior to any new street construction in the area. If you have any questions on this or need additional informa- tion, we would be pleased to discuss this further with you at your convenience. Very truly yours, McCOMBS-KNUTSONASSOCIATES, INC.

The Public Works Director hopes to have more information on the other items before january 16tho ON I--AK.?, MINNL~"TONi(.A INDIAN BURIAl,. MOUND~ 5341 MAYWOOD ROAD TELEPHONE MOUND, MINNESOTA 55364 (612) 472-1155 December 28, 1978 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Leonard Kopp Public Works Director C.B.D. Street Lightin9 As per your request the following is a report on our work and problems with the C,B.D. lighting system. Our plan showing the underground wiring cannot be located at this time. Looking st the plan you provided I can see from memory %hat ours was not correct in the first place. As you know the wirin9 underground when originally installed was aluminum instead of copper. This has been our largest problem as it se~ms to break down much easier, Whenever possible we have been changing this wire to copper with no splices if possible, The portion of wire shown on your plan from the southeast corner of ~1~ and 8t Lon§pre's to Dr. Bores office was chan§ed in 196~ to copper. Currently we ere having trouble with the light in front of Dr. Bores and have called N.S.P. ~hree times about it. They keep stating that the breaker at that feed point is overloaded and never fix the light after resetting the breaker. I talked to them today and told them about it again. They assured me they would reset the breaker, check this particular light, the one next to Snyd~r Drug and the one on the northeast corner o£ ~110 and ~1~ today. They are th~n going to notify me as to whyt the problem is with each individual.light and whether we need an electrician or not. After your conversation with them they have been very good about calling us and notifying us of their findings. I have talked to Drews Electric and they are going to check on the breaker for an overload or if the breaker itself is going bad, SUBJECT: C.B.D. Street Lighting (Continued) In 1977 the Public Works Department replaced all the underground wirin9 with copper from the feed point at Dr. Borg's office going south to 2h00 Commerce Blvd. 'We crossed the street by Netkas Apartments and also rewired from what is now Continental Telephone to the south end of Our Lady of the Lakes Church. The west side of this line is what is 'causing the problem now and is supposedly in the breaker. I hope to have further information on this by the Council meetin§ when this is brought up. Also in 1977 we replaced the wire with copper from the pole across from Ace Hard- ware 9oing north to the poke at the corner of ~110 and Lynwood Blvd. Then feed line from that pole to the fuse box at the alley at the rear of Tom Th~. We have had no problem with these since. In 1978 we replaced the wiring from the feed point on Marion Lane to the light by Dr. Laure~ office on Shoreline. Then a second line from the feed point out to Shoreline and then east to the light at Hess's Station under the new sid~ws!k. There is still one set of wires from this feed point that goes straight north to the poles on the north side of Shoreline Blvd. which is still aluminum. We have not blacktopped our ditch along the building on Marion and could easily replace this with copper next summer by diggin9 down to the conduit in the alley and running a new wire under Shoreline to the pole on the north side. Currently the light at Belmont and Shoreline is out due to a bre8k under th~ entrance of the Municipal parking lot at the east ead. Instead of runnin§ a wire under th~ County Road I would recommend that we install a new feed point on the power pole at Belmont and Shoreline to feed the light that is out. This way we can run the rest of the lights on the north side on the existin~ line until a problem occurs if ever it does. At that time we could run from th~ Belmont pole west'in the blacktop parking lot to pick up the p&les with copper wire. The distance would be equal and we could stay out of the County Road. ~lso it would give us a feed point to start from if street lights ar~ ever run east to Tonka Toys. I talked this over with N.S.P. and Drews Electric and they feel the second alternative is most feasible. One of our major complaints has been with the new light installed at 2hO0 Co~?.erce Blvd. This was installed in February 1978 after b~ing struck by a car. It worked fine until it was hit again by an auto. We then hsd a new mercury vapor light installed by Westway Electric in approximately S~ptember of 1978. This is when our trouble began. After installation w~ waited a week for the fuse holder to be installed so it would work. Mr. Morris who lives at 2500 Commerce called and told us that it had quit workin§ after two days. N.S.P. checked it and told us that ~t was not their problem. ~. Morris then called and stated that if he hit it w~th a hammer it would come on. We called Drews Electric and had them check it when they worked on our Christmas decorations. They found that the connections at the base of the pole were not m~ds properly and repaired them. This light should work properly once the breaker problem is t~ken care of. SUBJECT: C.O.D. Street Lighting (Continued) Page 3 At the Council meeting I was told to start a continuing check on lights so that a report could be given at each Council meeting until the problem is resolved. It is ss follows: 19-19-78 6:08 P.M. - Pk. Kopp called to tell me that the lights were out from 9339 Cow~merce Blvd. to 2401 Commerce Blvd, This includes the light by Commerce, Blvd, (Morris res.) I notified N.S.~. at 6:10 P.M. Mr. Morris appeared at the Council meetin§ t0 complain about the street light problem, He stated that the. lights hardly ever work and that over half of thug were out. The details from us are on. the original report attached. 12-20-78 12:h~ A.M. - I drove throu9h the C.B.D. and checked on the lights. N.S.P. has been there to work on the lights reported earlier. At this time the lights still not working are: northeast corner of Cry. 110 and 1~ in front of 9316 Commerce Blvd. between Snyder Drug and State Bank of Mound. The light at 9hO0 Commerce Blvd. was working at this time, 19a91-78 10:36 A.M. - Notified N.S.P. dispatch that the above mentioned lights were out and requested they repair th~m. On the 91st N.S.P. came out and Checked the tights again. I received a call on th~ 99nd that it may be a problem with the breaker and we should get an electrician. Du~ to the Holidays Drews could not get there until st least 9?th at the earliest. All oF the lights were working except the forementioned three. I talked to N.S.P. again on the morning of the 98th as the string of lights are out again in front of the bank when I checked on the 97th. I then told them that even if it was the breaker, when it is tUrned back on these two lights on this string still do not work. It is my feeling that once they fix the faulty lights on this tine the overload on the breaker may no longer exist. If it does then I will get an electrician to work on it. t will continue to check on these lights until the Council meeting of January 16th, 1979 and give an addition to this report verbally. Respectfully, Robert Shanley ~-~ --~ Publi'c Works Director 1-9-79 CITY OF MOUND Mound, Minnesota January 5, 1979 COUNCIL MEMORANDUM NO. 79-16 SUBJECT: Cross Walk Flashers The City Council has a report from the Public Works Director regarding the use of flashers as well as a copy of a letter from Hennepin County advising against puting a flasher on the cross walk signs and has asked for an oral report from the Police Chief. (Refer to Information Memorandum 79-2 Pages 11, 12 and 13) The Police Chief will be asked to attend the January 9th meeting. cc: C. Johnson 111 DEPARTMENT TRANSPORTATION 320 Washington Ay. South Hopkins, Minnesota 55343 935-3381 Mr. Leonard Kopp, City Manager City of Mound 5341Maywood Road Mound, Minnesota 55354 December 18, 1978 Dear Len: As requested, we have investigated two recent requests from your office. The first pertained to the advisability of installing flashing amber lights above the pedestrian crosswalk signs on Commerce Blvd. in the ~lound commercial area. The second expressed concern about the sight distance along CSAH 125 from Clare Lane being insufficient to allow safe entry to CSAH 125. Because of the close proximity of the pedestrian crossing signs to the railroad crossing and the traffic signal at the CSAH 110 - CSAH 15 intersection, ~e do not recommendincorporation' of flashing amber lights. Such devices could cause confusion or misinterpretation of these other controls. Also, our experience in using flashers in conjunction with pedestrian crossings elsewhere in the county has proven relatively ineffective. If you will recall those placed on CSAH 15 in Wayzata several years ago were removed shortly thereafter because they were ineffective. We are, of course, concerned about pedestrian safety along Commerce Boulevard. Chief Johnson mentioned at a recent meeting that the accident picture seemed to be increasing in the commercial area of Mound. ~e have requested that his office supply us with copies of all accident reports on CSAH 110 and CSAH 15 within this area for our detailed analysis. Vehicles waiting on Clare Lane to enter CSAH125 have sight distance of 315 feet of vehicles approaching from the east. At the posted speed limit of 30 MPH this provides just over seven seconds for vehicles to enter CSAH 125 before the approaching vehicle arrives at the intersection. Stopping distance for a vehicle traveling 30 MPH is 200 feet under wet pavement conditions. 315 feet provides' somewhat minimal but acceptable sight distance under the prevailing conditions. The sight distance available to Clare Lane traffic before the construction pro- ject on CSAH 125 was started was also investigated. Unfortunately, no field reading on sight distance was taken prior to the project. However, we have examined the construction plans and it appears that the sight distance has been basically unaltered from the before condition. Should further information be necessary or should you care to discuss these matters further, please give me a call at 935-3381. Sincerely, DeraIls L. Hansen, P.E.

COMMUNITY PROFILE: [Pr~id# · b~f ner~rive ~ acco~ance ~ ins~ruc~n~) a. Introduction The City of Mound is a fully developed, freestanding, medium sized community of 9,200 population located on the western shores of Lake Minnetonka. While Mound historically settled around the turn of the century, primary development took place post WWI! and well into the lg60's. With a continuing "in-filling" of vacant land areas, to date approximately g5% of the City is developed in urban land uses. b. P_9_pulation Characteristics Mound's overall population characteristic is defined ~s stable. Continuing to grow moderately since 1970 by an estimated 100-200 persons per year, potential population decline due to out-migration of young adults is being offset by the filling-in of vacant land development of small single-family subdivisions and medium dense developments. Racial composition is and continues to be predOminated by non-minority members Age composition is predominated by adolescents and middle-aged household heads Being a fully developed community, Mound does maintain a compliment of elderly persons similar to state and federal averages, which continues to advance and grow in numbers and proportions. here if continued on ~¢tditio*~l pa~e(=] and erie=h) 6.

Economic Conditions Mound's family income distribution and medium income figures exemplifies a well balanced family earning situation reflective of state and national trends While middle income producing sectors make up a bulk of the local economy, Mound citizens do display a proportionate combination of families with low and high income producing characteristics. Due to the fact that Mound functions in a metropolitan area employment situation with prevalent commuting taking place, isolating employment trends is of limited value. However, while primary local employers experience seasonal hiring practices, long term employment trend~ have been stable. d. Housin9 COnditions Due to Mound's mix of housing stock in terms of age, size, and type, a similar mix in housing quality is reflected. For example, 30% of the total housing stock was constructed prior to 1940. And as discussed earlier, while a majority of the City's homes were erected in the period 1950 - 1970, in the last 5 years some 75 new homes were.averaged per year. The degree of housing overcrowding and homes in need of some form of repair [5%, 15% respectively) result from the older stock of homes once used as lakeshore seasonal homes now converted into permanent structures.

COMMUNI ~ DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING NEEDS: (Provide · br~f ner~dv· in eccord*nce ~ ~$r~crionzl Neighborhood Revitalization Needs Specific neighborhood level revitalization needs generally reflect the histor- ical development patterns and trends of Hound. While there are identifiable neighborhoods making up the total community wide perspective due to geographic influences, a mixing of housing age and quality limits the isolation of housing/communitY development policy on standard neighborhood.concepts. Therefore, at the neighborhood leve, in any part of the City, low and moderate income persons are faced with. three identified needs not Presently being met in appropriate manners. First, with a significant proportion of homes built prior to 1940 occupied by families of modest incomes, ongoing housing main- tenance and rehabilitation needs arise. Common types of rehabilitation in the housing stock such as insulation, indoor fixtures, roofing and storm windows are called for. Second, in a number of neighborhoods, ongoing public facility .improvements are ongoing for the continued upgrading of services. For example the incremental extension of sanitary and storm sewers, water supply'and even street improvements are commonly financed by assessments levied against bene- fiting property owners. Many times resulting in thousands of dollars per household, low and, moderate income families find it increasingly difficult to meet assessment payments which significantly limit improvement projects. Third, throughout all of Mound's neighborhoods, there is the presence of Elm tress infected by Dutch Elm disease.

Similar to other neighborhood costs, Dutch Elm tree removal with numbers of trees to a low or moderate income household many times is excessive and results in jeopardizing a successful city wide tree removal program. Community Wid.e Housing Needs Similar to an accumulative neighborhood housing need perspective, the community wide housing need is stressed with the situation of ongoing housing rehabili- tation and maintenance. And since in all'sectors of the CitY housing rehabili- tation need has been identified, it becomes a primary City wide need. A secondary community wide housing need is to advance the development of public assisted housing development. Due to a limited supply of marketable, vacant/developable land, site selection, land acquisition and even land write- down is called for to be able to successfully develop a feasible assisted housing project such as section 8, 202, 235 or direct public housing proposals,i A public assisted housing unit should increase the supply of affordable housin opportunity on a city wide scale. hem If conriflued o~t ,~dcfit~"o~,el pej~ef.~] end DATA .~OURCES: City survess/inspect5ons, assessment reports, census data, tract block, etc. Forms HUD-7015.2 end HUD-701.~.~,A, v~hich are wt:~ol~l~,' Pmge of Peg. as HUD-7063 16-781 Ap~ro~ No. 6~-R 16'ID U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOU,3iNG AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING PLAN SUMMARY COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY PERIOD OF APPLICABIL.

Since that time significant community development activities and policies have warran{ed the updating of the planning program in part due to the requirements of the Minnesota· Land Planning Act. Specific elements of the'comprehensive plan include land use, housing, transportation, parks. Implementation program will concentrate on citywide ordinance revisions to the zoning and subdivision codes, a housing implementation program along with a capital improvement program establishing · priority areas for facilities along with methods of financing.

Inasmuch as the Council stipulated such a requirement in ReSolution 78-584 and 78-589, possibly these resolutions should be amended to remove the dedication stipulation. CITY OF MOUND Mound, ~4innesota December 21, 1978 INFOP~L~TiON MEMO_~ANDUM NO. 78-139 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: The Honorable Mayor and City Council The City Manager Park Dedication for Subdivided Lots At the last Council meeting, the Council directed in two cases thalk~ land be dedicated or cash given for dividing already platted lots. This was discussed with the Attorney and in rereading the Ordinance, it was found in the last paragraph of Section 22.37, the Council had exempted such divisions and combinations from the dedicated provision. The last paragraph of Section 22.37 is quoted below: This provision shall not apply to the division of platted lots which are being combined with other existing lots to increase lot sizes to conform to the larger sized lots required by the Zoning Ordinance. This exception is in recognition of the need.to put undersized lots together to bring them into conformance with zoning requirements adopted after the original subdivision of properties, many of which predate any zoning regulations of this City. cc: H.

At a later date, the Council passed a requirement of $50 deposit if liquor or beer were served in order to assure money for cleanup. There has never been any in depth study made of heating and lighting costs for the operation of the hall. Over the years the present rates have worked fairly well. The hall was rented for cash on few occasions; most of the use was by civic organizations for free - Jaycees, Lions, etc.' The hall has not been rented on a regular basis for years. From time to time with Council approval, the Hall has been used for Sunday Church Services or Sunday School on a no charge basis. In view of inflation, the rental rates should be increased and more details should be spelled out as to the responsibilities of those using the hall free.. Based on current conditions, the following poli~y is suggested for Island Park Hall: The Island Park Hall may be let for use of groups based on units of use. The following times shall constitute a unit: Morning 7 a.m. until Noon 1 Unit Afternoon 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. 1 Unit Evening 7 p.m. to Midnight 1 Unit If 2 or 3 units are used in one day - 12:01 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. - a charge of 1¼ times the per unit rate will be made. Thus $40. becomes $50.; $25. becomes $31.25, etc. $40.00 per unit for non-residents. 25.00 per unit for Mound residents for private use and to groups when 50% or more of the group are Mound residents. 20.00 for groups-that rent the Hall on a regular schedule of at least one unit per month f~r at least 9months in a 12 month period-- provided cleanup after the meeting is provided. (Cleanup lo consist of straightening the room, removing trash and sweeping floor, if necessary) Free - to co~only known Mound civic and non-profit charitable organi- zation providing cleanup is made after the meeting, such as, but not limited to the following: Jaycees, K.C.'s, Lions, Rotary, Free B's, Women's Sewing Guild, Garden Clubs.

Church Services and Sunday School may be held on approval of the City Council on the $~0.00 per unit basis charged. All non-profit, civic and church organizations will be expected to clean the room after use. Clean up to consist of straightenr ing room,, emptying trash and sweeping floor. Use of alcohol by groups using the hall is not recommended. However, should alcohol be served or usedl a $50.00 cash deposit should be made to assure clean- up and evidence of Dram Shop Insurance in the amount of $. ~l~-~ ~ be posted with the City which would hold the City harmless from 61aims arising from the use of the Hall.

In August 1977, we took bids to do some work suggested by the Architect. After the bids were in, which were rejected by the City, the Architect got someone to repair the roof. Shortly after the repair, it leaked in some new places. The Architect was informed. Sometimes in a rain, we got little or no leaks during the early summer; but by late summer, we got leaks with every rain. Mr. O'Brien came out and looked at it once or twice, but hasn't returned my last telephone calls when I wanted to talk with him. The Council is very disturbed about the continuing leaks. What is our next step? I have asked another person to look at it in order to get another opinion. Sincerely, 'Leonard L.

Tuttle had been in contact with the State Department of t~man Rights and had been instructed on how to officially handle a charge of discrimination. McClure made the motion that Tuttle be placed in charge of this case and actively be responsible for overseeing it and reporting its progress through- out its duration, The motion was seconded by Chuck Nelson and the vote was unanimous. Tuttle then continued with her report. At the School Board Meeting, Monday, December 11, Item No. 6, PERSONNELTRANSACTIONS; TRANSACTIONS~'Eb~LOYMENT: (33 Appointment. of Donald Ulrick as half-time Coordinator of Community Services and half-time Coordinator 6f Transportation, effective January 1, 1979, with monthly salary of $1583 and contract as herewith authorized for Discussion by School Board members regarding this appointment was. in relation to whether or not one person could do both jobs. It was als~ mentioned that the School District has begun to establish our own bus services and doing less contracting of bus services. An analysis is being.~done to determine if any uentraating will ~e done or will the School District be running their own bus services. When that analysis is completed it will then be necessary to determine if a full-time coordinator of transportation will be needed if'so where will the loyalities of this person be strongest? Are they going to be with Community ServiCes for full-time or are they go%ng to be transportation for full-time and if they-fall, for instanee,.wid~ community services then will that not require the School District to hire someone for the transportation position and what position will {hey fill, the original full-time union Tra~sporta~ion~C~ordinator/Secretary or ? ~' It was also noted that Mr. Ulrickis~a!so a bus driver which means that his day starts at 6:30 a.m. and when there are community services projects being run his job, is until 10:30 p.m. and may run as many as seven nights a week on occasion. There were'questions about whether or not any individual could keep up that kind of energetic momentum. Someone then, asked what the long range pro~ections.are for creating the current half-time position of coordinator, of Community Services into a full-time position because evidentl~ that program is going full strength and has done great and wonderful things and if it continues to do that then it is going to become more and more demanding therefore requiring a 'fu!l~time co°~dinator. The spokesperson for that council was asked to address the School Board on that possibility and hg agreed that the future outlook is for a full-time'coordinato~ of Con. unity Services but if this man was not given more work and more money we might lose him. A Schoo/ Board member moved that it was necessary for them to first ~eliminate the full-time union position of Coordinator/Secretary of Transportation which they did and then establish the new non-union half-time position of Coordinator of Transportation which they did. Anderson: The Transportation Coordinator/Secretary before was unioa? Tuttle: Yes Page 3. Anderson: Now there is one person filling it and they have made it non-union? Tuttle: That's correct. There was a griegance filed with the union and a union representative was there and did address the board in regard to that filing. They then made the appointment. McClure: Did they just m~ke an appointment of this gentleman or 'did they review all applications? Were there other applications and were other. applications reviewed? Turtle: There were no other applications for the half-time non-union position of Coordinator of Transportat%on. McClure: }tad.there been applications for a full-time Coordinator and Secre- tary? Turtle: Yes }[cClure: Were these reviewed at the meeting? Tuttle: No. They were not even mentioned. Prior to the School Board meeting the job was posted as full-time union position of Coordinator/Secretary. There were applications'~ade and interviews held on that bas~s. Anderson: But none of thos~ came up at the School Board? Tuttle: No- Anderson: Evidently it wasn't advertised that there was a possibility of a job of half-time Coordinator of Community Services and half-time Coordinator of Transportation? Withhart: The job was created and filled. McClure: At the meeting, did this new position come as a surprise'to the other applicants? Tuttle: They were told after their interviews that the position might possibly be changed to a non-union half-time position. McClure: Were they told that-they would be considered for the,half-time non-union position? Anderson: They weren't even interviewed for anything were they? Tuttie: They were interviewed for the original positidn. During their interviews they were also told that if it could be arranged Mr. Ulrick would probably get the job. McClure: He applied for the position the same as they did but was 0nly interested in the position if the position could be changed? Nelson: it sounds like it was present,d to 1~i~.: after the fact.' ~tnhart: I don't think there is n~.c~ ...... zly any~'hing ~..~ong with that A union posit~oa can b~ created into a non-union position, and there's iittlc. Page 4. in theLabo~ R~lations Law regarding, that. I see a potential problem.in that as soon as the position was created it was filled and that no other person was notified for the job; the job was not posted or advertised. Tuttle: Where I see us being involved and where I see the creation of the new position as a non-union position as being unfair is the fact that it was differential treatment. The candidates had been treated differently.. The two female candidates were only considered for'the uhion full-time position which included secretarial duties. The male candidate was considered for the~non-union half-time position excluding secretarial duties. It is the responsibility of this commission to determine if there has been differential treatment based on sex and/or marital status and if we are in [otal agreement then we are.to act accordingly. Nelson: Was the School Board aware of the situation and had they been notified that it was no longer a full-time position? Turtle: I would like to read to you at this time a memo from D. F. Brandenburg, Director of Adminstrative Services. (copy attached) That is difCerential treatment~ If the board did hot approve the appointment- then it suddenly reverted back to the union position of Coordinator/Secretary. Nelson: once that position was created as non-union they had the right to fill it with anyone they want. Turtle: But they had filled both the non-union and the union position. It was never pointed out to the School Board that if they did not approve the.appointment of Mr. Ulrick theposition was filled by Dorothy Fatk and the position she wOul~ be filling would be different than the po. sition Mr. Ulrick would be filling. That is discrimination because if the man is appointed he gets a supervisory position but if the woman gets it she is union and a secretary. McClure: Did you state something at the Board Meeting? 'Turtle: Yes. The guest agenda is one thing and the volumes of information the board members get is another thing. The cover letter states that "should a. visitor wish to make a brief informal presentation the School Board, the School Board Chairman normally creates such an opportunity at ~he beginning of the meeting or before and after the mid-meeting recess when coffee is served." Because they had not yet voted on this and ! knew a grievance had been filed with the. union I chosm-not tO take any popition or make any statement at the opening of the ~eeting. The recess came after the board action on this employment situation and I ~etermined during the recess that when we went back in and the Chairman asked if there was anyone that would like to address t aha board that I would do so at that t~e. Ha did not make that opportunity available. I sat through some of the other items on the agenda and after hearing some of the discriminatory remarks made ~y a board member regarding the transportation policy, I began to realize what we as citizens are faced with and the kind of thing that must be stopped because it is now becoming blatant. Toward the end of the ~eeting I stood up and was rgcognized by the Chairman. Attached is a copy of my statcmmnt. ~,~,~.~n~P~ D~-~, Page 5. M¢Clure: I think it's .imPortant to state t~at this is certainly not a vendetta against Mr. Ulrick who is quite possibly very qualified~-for the job it's just the ~y our School Board is handling things. It would seem to me that if someone wanted to complain and we are able to do something it would improve things for everybody. People wouldn't be afraid anymore. Ws~an: I wguld like to think that although personalities are involved that we are talking about the process of discrimination and trying to remain impersonal. McClure: ~dam Chair~nan~ someone from the audience would 'like to address the Cormnission. · Tuttle:. Yes, Donna Vance, would you please come forward? The following statements are from Donna: On November 28.~we received a notice of transfer opportunity that stated: "As a result of~Gloria Piel0w's resignation the following EOE position is now open." It described the position and stated that the position, is a 12 month job, the pay was an EOE salary schedule plus $250 differential. The salary that I am working at right now. is a plus $70 differential so that would have meant in my particular case the difference of $180 a month, for the same number of hours in a day. I was encouraged by my present employer, Mr. Hyytinen, and several other people to apply. I have had some contact over the years in helping with transportation schedules.and bus problems. I applied and we had our interviews on December 1st. During the interview, first of all, I was informed of what the position of Building/Grounds/ Transportation Supervisor was, which is Bert Larson's job, and also informed about what the Transportation Coordinator/Secretary job w~s which is the job Gloria Pielow was leaving. We we~t through the entire interview, I thought I was making some pretty good headway, one of the things that was stated was tha~ being able to ge~ along with Bert Larson was a very important criteria in the job because'of the fact that he and Gloria quite publicly~did not get along and so t~is was important and was told also that Bert Larson would, have the major responsibility for choosing the candidate who would get the job. Just at the.end of the interview I sort of w~nt into shock because I had heard there were other applicants, I wasn't sure who, but ~. Brandenburg, at the~end of.the interview, indicated tome that the other applicants were Dorothy ~Falk,and Don Ulrick. He them stated, that Don was int~rested~n!y if they restructured the positio~ giving him half-timeresponsibility for Co~unity Services and half-time, to Transportation with a plus $70 secretary.. .~ each of these ha!f-time aream.~ .One of my thoughts was that splitting. this ~ob up this plus $70 secretary they were going to give him was going to be doing most of the work anyway because they are spreading him a litt!~ thin over those two jobs, Then Mr. Brandenburg asked me if Don Ulrick got this job if I would be interested in one of the plus $70 jobs.~ I asked if he was setting up another administrators positio~ ~nd he said no. I said certainly isn't secretarial and he indicated that it would be supervisory and told me about the fine line between administrator and supervisory and that this would be a supervisors position. He then said, "Don has a lot of political clout with the co~.~nunity services council which has be~n trying to get the school too~ve~,~ him more so that he ca~ support his seven kids.". Then he told me just some vague fgcts that i don't even remember the exact something about. Don"s ho~e not ~,..l~,-,~,~,~ and some t~,~ that h~d gone with the business ha had r~cently gotten out o[, the r~t mar~t in Page 6. and the whole thing just s~emed very discriminatory to me.. I wrote the following thc minute I returned to my office after the interview: - "I submit that the notice of transfer opportunity is merely one more farce perpetrated on the secretaries of Dist. #77 as a group. And even if the position indicated for Don Ulrick does not become a reality ~and one of the other applicants is place~ in the position I cannot help but feel that the. notice was not an earnest attempt by the administration to recruit a Secretary for a secretary's position but an attempt to put Don Ulrick in a more lucrative supervisory~ position." Anderson moved that the Mound, Spring Park, Minnetrista Human Rights Co~mission investigate the alledged &MPtos~ent discrimination complaint and ~fully support the.comp!aintant through the filing and investigative process.

The Cost of Living increase shall be based upon the percentage difference in points between the Index reading for July 1977, and the Index reading for July 1978. In'talking with your Chicago OffiCe, we understand-that in certain cir- cumstances your Bureau will calculate an estimated July to July figure on a once only basis. We would greatly appreciate it if we could have such a figure in order to implement our agreement. As we understand it, there are now two indexes and we %~ould need the "Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers" figure. Your assistance in giving us the July to July figure for 1977-1978 will be greatly appre- ciated. Thank you very much for your cooperation. Sincerely, , ':...- .,,~.._ · ~ .... ~ .-- _~?..
