The main reason for the refusal was that the streel does not connect to another MSA or County Road on one end.

RE: Designation of Bradford Lane in the City of Mound Dear Mr. Swanson: We are in receipt of your letter of September 19, in reference to desig- · hating Bradford Lane as a Municipal State Aid Street. The request for designation does comply with traffic volumes and could possibly comply with major traffic interests. However, the request for designation does not comply by providing an integrated street system affording a State Aid Street network. It, therefore, is not eligible for state aid designation. We are available for any further questions you may have. Sincerely, C. E.

Property had a bad ~ashout affecting a retaining wall construc~d of railroad ties during the rainstorm of 8-30-77. Henry True~s~n reported that no per~tts ~r® required by th~ City for the erection of retaining wal~s on private property (with the exception that ~f th~ ~erraln or structur~ presents e ha~&rd a permit is then r~qu~red). Brooks erected the retaining wall on his property with no permit, ~t was in excess of 4 feet. ~uestion arose whether the State Bldg. Code covers reta~ning walls? Informed ~hat only when doing ~caYstion ~ork on p~b~ic build~ng~ ~s this mandatory° ~he City h~s a p~rm~nent utility ~&semen: on Br~mo~'s property and ~s not respons- tbl~ for rebul~ding any portion etcher than p~operty :hat ~s disturbed, to accom- pllsh ~'ne easement.

Unani~usly passed. Sub-Committee Report - Recreation Committee Bag'~ stated that Reagan gave brief report o~ hockey boards for the rink suggested for Tyrone Park. Ba~ley made a motion seconded by L~rson that, Coa~ss~on recomme~d~ that the City of Mound do~&te the hockey boards and goa~ nets to School D~s~rtct 277 for thelr use (these m~terials were received from Spring Park). Reviewing the Use Plan, Tyrone Perk is classified as a neighborhood park and is not large enough for the installation of a Hockey Rink, It woutd be too costly, and being a neighbor- hood park it would not be able to facilitate large attendance for hockey games. Appx. $3,OOO.OO to Install and $4,1OO.OO,;'ann~elly for maintenance if retained by the park board. Ul~anlmously passed.

Pearson llO0 First National Bank Building -Minneapolis, MN. 55402 Dear Curt: One of our citizens lost a retaining wall in the big rain a few weeks ago. The retaining wall (built without a permit) was built on the lot line at the Commons line. It was built of railroad ties. When the big rain came, the railroad ties and a lot of dirt ended up in the Lake. The homeowner is asking the City's help in rebuilding and, especially in dredging the dirt from the Lake. This was on Devon Commons - Lot 7, Block l, Devon. The Park Commission recommended the City take care of their responsi- bilities. Our question---what is the City's responsibility? Is.the City responsible for getting the dirt out of the Lake or is it the responsibility of the person who built the wall? The same. question goes on who should replace the vegetation on this bank? This will be before the Council one'er 27. The pictures attached give you an idea of the size of the wall, since the side is still in place. Sincerely, Leonard L. Kopp City Manager LLK/ms Encl.

Kopp, City Manager CITY OF MOUND Mound, Minnesota September 21, 1977 COUNCIL MEMORANDUM NO. 77-293 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: The Honorable Mayor and City Council The City Manager Tax Forfeit Land The City is holding for Park Purposes Lots 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23 and a part of Lot 20, Block 26, Wychwood. (The area shown in yellow on the attached map.) The owner of Lots 18 and 19 and a small portion of Lot 20 wishes to square off his lot by buying a portion of Lot 20 as shown. The area he wishes to purchase is 45.1 feet by 14 feet. (See letter attached). It would appear that this small piece of land is really not needed. Possibly the Council might want to examine keeping the low ground along Brighton for parking and returning the high ground for sale. This land was divided as it is, so access to the high part of Lots 15, 16 and 17 could be obtained over Lots 20, 21, 22 and 23. A drawing on the attached map shows the portion of Lot 20 that is being requested.

In the coming year, it is expected that Community Health Services funding will provide for in-home nursing care to ill and disabled persons and health promo- tion, teaching and counseling services to persons of all ages. We have re- quested United Way support for our home health aide program and partial support for health consultation to day care centers (health education). To residents of municipalities with corporate membership in the organization, Suburban Public Health Nursing Service, Inc. will provide i~nization clinics, child health clinics and health education i.e. health consultation to day care group homes and more extensive health promotion, teaching and counseling services. The draft of our proposed budget for 1978 is enclosed far, our review. Estimated revenue from municipalities is based on~_~e of 35¢e_~9~-6apita. Also enclosed are ~o copies of a suggested resolution f~r 1978 membership in Suburban Public Health Nursing Service, Incorporated. With the reorganization of Suburban Public Health Nursing Service, there is urgent need for early response by municipalities relative to membership in the new corporation. Me~oers of the Nursing Committee and representatives of the nursing staff would welcome opportunity to meet with you~City Council to discuss the reorganization and services of Suburban Public Health Nursing Service. supported by tax funds from municipalities of suburban hennen~in county & the united way SUBUFoBAN PUo~IC }tEALTH NURSING SEEVICE 1978 Estimated Revenue Description Municipalities (16.95% Community Health Serv.(28.82%] United Way Program Service Fees Prior Year Surplus Other Income Total Revenue PROGP, A24S Total Home t!6me I Child Agency Health Health Health'I %~-v~un.

Curt felt that it would have been better to have one hearing for all areas with the combined totals advertised. To have a combined hearing now would require remailing, re- advertising, etc. The Attorney said, if I am interpreting him correctly, that there are three choices: 1. Have a complete rehearing. Go ahead the way we are with individual hearings and then combine all the projects for taking bids. After step 2 above is accomplished, the Council establish the assessment policy of a combined assessment as is being reported.

This Addendum combines the costs of all proposed street improvements into one project for assessment purposes. The estimated assessments herein include the cost of all storm sewers as part of the street improvement, therefore no separate assessment for storm sewer is provided. The total estimated cost of the project is $1,505,880, of which, $99,160. will be paid by the City or County, leaving $1,406,720 to be assessed. Based on the formula described in the Preliminary Engineering Reports the estimated assessments for the Project are: Unit Assessment $1~001 per unit Area Assessment per square feet Footage Assessment $6.77 per foot Does not include City share of Parks. CITY OF MOUND Mound, Minnesota September 23, 1977 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM NO. 77-177 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: The Honorable Mayor and City Council The City Manager Overall Economic Development Program We are in the process of preparing a report for Council consideration on this. See attached memorandum from Hennepin County. -- Leonard L. Kopp ¢/ 7 iHeNNePtN', DATE: TO: SUBJECT: 20 September 1977 Hennepin County Communities Art'Lee - OEDP Committee Chairman Request for Community Input The City of Minneapolis and Hennepin County are jointly undertaking the development of an Overall Economic Development Program (OEDP) in an effort to gain designation by the Economic Development Administration (EDA) as a Redevelopment Area, Such a designation would allow the County and all constituent communities to apply for funding through several EDA programs for activities designed to promote economic develop- ment and to generate new, permanent jobs, Such activities might involve upgrading of sewer or water capacity, roadway improvements or other public activities in support of development or redevelopment of commercial and industrial areas. Recent actions by the Carter Administration are designed to encourage and facilitate the coordination of OEDP activities with those of the Community Development Program, the Small Business Administration, local capital improvement programs or of HRA's. (See attached overview of programs), The OEDP committee was recently informed that the deadline for submission of the final program document has been revised to 15 November 1977, 45 fewer days than previously anticipated, While it had been hoped that all Hennepin County communities might be involved in the development of the program, present work schedule constraints demand that any such involvement be ini- tiated by the communities. Although all communities will have the oppor- tunity to review the final document through the A-95 Review process, this will be your only opportunity to provide input to ensure that specific local problems and economic development potentials are reflected in the completed document. (EDA regulations called for an annual update of the OEDP, conse- quently future year involvement should be possible). If your community is interested in possible OEDP activities and funding assistance please contact either Robert Isaacson (348-4544) or Jim Ford (348-2852) at your earliest convenience. If so contacted their office will assist your community in relating local problems and potentials to the OEDP, defining appropriate program responses, and in coordinating OEDP activities with HUD, SBA and other programs. cc: Stanley Pechaver, EDA OVERVIEW OF FEDERAL INESS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMEOPROGRAHS Four major agencies of the Federal Government administer programs which aid, to varying degrees, in the vital process of business and economic development. These agencies are: 1. Economic Development Administration 2. Small Business Administration Department of Housing and Urban Development 4. Department of Labor Of primary concern to the OEDP Committee would naturally be number 1. The seven programs directly under EDA and therefor an integral part of the OEDP process are summarized as well as listed below. Programs of the other agencies are merely listed for reference and to provide a ~ense of scope to the magnitude of Federal assistance available for economic development. Many SBA programs and to an apparently increasing degree those of HUD, have particular relevance because of their potential to directly augment EDA activities. 1. Economic Development Administration a. Grants and Loans for Public Works and Development Facilities (Title I and Section 201) Grants and loans to improve opportunities for the establishment or expansion of industrial or con~nercial plant or facilities, to assist in the creation of additional long-term employment opportunities or to benefit long-term employment and members of low-income families.

Planning Assistance (Development District Program: Redevelopment' Area Plans) (Section 302) Provides up to 80 percent economic development planning grants to reduce unemployment and increase incomes. Promotes comprehen- sive planning process which includes analyzing the local economy, defining developmental goals, determining p¥oject opportunities and formulating and implementing a development program. f. Public Works Impact Projects Promotes construction o~ public facilities to provide immediate jobs to unemployed and underemployed persons in designated project areas. EDA designation not required. g. Redevelopment Area Loan Program (Section 204) Interest-free loans to the Redevelopment Area for use in making loans to public or private entities for industrial land assembly, land banking, acquisition of surplus government property, acquisi- tion of abandoned properties with redevelopment potential, real estate development including redevelopment and rehabilitation of historical buildings for industrial and commercial use, rehabilita- tion and renovation of usable empty factory buildings for industrial and commercial use, and other investments which will accelerate recycling of land and facilities for job creating economic activity. 2. Small Business Administration Local Development Companies (Section 502)/long-term financing to small business concerns through state and local development companies. Urban Neighborhood Revitalization (Section 502)/special funding to'local development companies located in urban neighborhoods. Small Business Loans (Regular Loans - 7(a) Loans).

A copy of the contract is attached hereto as "Attachment A", and made a part hereof. II. At the time defendant entered ~nto the at%ached contract, defendant was in possession of the above-described proper~y as a vendee under a contract for deed. III. Although the purchase contract called for defendant to furnish an up-to-date abstrac% of the property, defendant failed to do so and plaintiff assumed the responsibility of updating the abstract. Because one of. the fee owners was ouh of town, and other minor difficulties made it difficul% to close on Septem- ber 1, 1977, plaintiff and defendant agreed to close on September 2, 1977. IV. At the closing, it was discovered that the deed from the fee owners only conveyed an undivided one-third interest in the property and, therefore, defendant was not in a position to convey clear title to the plaintiff on the day of closing. During the week of September 6, 1977, a new deed was executed by the fee owners and on September 7, 1977, plaintiff contacted the defendant advising defendant that the City would now accept defendant's deed and was prepared to ~lose. VI. On September 12, 1977, defendant contacted the plaintiff and advised the plaintiff that defendant would not close and would not convey a deed to the City unless the defendant realized $10,000 net proceeds from.the sale of the property. On September 12, 1977, the plaintiff responded in writing (copy attached as "Attachment B"), advising defendant that the plaintiff expected the defendant to close. In the same letter the plaintiff tendered an offer to close immediately. On Septem-. bet 15, 1977, the plaintiff, after reviewing the defendant's demands, again made a tender in writing (copy attached as "Attachment C"), again demanding an immediate closing. VII. Ail of the conditions of the purchase agreement have been performed or have occurred. ~' VII!. Plaintiff remains ready and willing to pay to the defendant the balance of the purchase price upon reCeiving a deed from the defendant. WHER~FORE, plaintiff prays for a judgment that defendant ~be required to specifically perform said agreement by executing a deed and delivering it to plaintiff upon payment of the balance of the purchase money; for costs and disbursements herein; and for such other relief as may be jus-t.

Our conversation was terminated when you hung up the phone and told me that you were not coming to my office or any place else to close on the sale of your property. If I unders'band your statements over the phone correctly, you are now demanding that the City of Mound pay you the sunl of $10,000 as a net figure regardless of what you owe against the property. On July 27, 1977 you and the City Manager of~e City of Mound and myself entered into a purchase agreement.for the sale of your property ho the City. That transaction was to be closed on or before September 1, 1977. If you will note in the next to the lash paragraph of that contract, it is your responsibility to furnish the City with a registered property abstract "certified %o date". On August 8 or 9 I received in the mail a registered property abstract which you had delivered ho Mr. Kopp. That abstract was certified to October 1, 1976. I contacted Mr. Kopp and indicated that I could not examine that because it was too old and was outdated. He instructed me to obtain a new abstract which I ordered from Title Insurance Company on August 10, 1977. I asked the title company ho expedite the preparation of that abstract as much as possible. A new registered property absbract was prepared and delivered to me and on August 22, 1977 I wrote a title opinion to Mr. Kopp setting forth the status of the proper%y and calling attention to the fact that there were various things that had to be ~one before ~he City could obtain a clear title. At Mr. Kopp's direction, .! also hook i~ upon myself to contact the fee owner, Mr. Samuel Segall and his LF L A".V LEFLER, PEARSOI',I. O'B & DRAWZ Mr. Matthe%-; Phillippi Page 2 September 12, 1977 his partner, Roy A. Schwappach. I also took it upon myself to contact First Guaranty Corporation and indicate your desire to expedite this closing. I sent them copies of my title opinion so that they would know what had to be done prior to the time of closing. Mr. Segall was out of town at that time but returned and called me and asked what had to be done. Various deeds were prepared and certain probate.matters concerning one FranceS L. Enger were accumuIated and a closing date was set for September 2, 1977. I was out of town on September 2, but Mr. James Larson of my office met with you and representatives of First Guaranty Cor- poration in an effort to close. 'It was then discovered that the deed frOm the fee owners, segall and Schwappach, only conveyed an undivided one-third interest to First Guaranty Corporation. Therefore, neither First Guaranty nor you were in a position to deed clear title to the City of Mound. It was also my understanding that there was some difference of opinion about real estate taxes between you and your contract vendor, First Guaranty Corporation, and the fee owners, Segall and Schwappach. During the week of September 6 I took it upon myself to do additional legal work in your behalf and contacted Mr. Segall and Mr. Schwappach and had a new deed prepared which they executed and delivered to my office. On September 7 I immediately called I4r. Kopp and asked him to contact you and tell you we were ready to close. I also suggested to him that the City pay its monies to our trust accoun~ and that our trust account would then disburse %o you, First Guaranty Corporation and Segall. I did not hear from you until September 12 when you have informed me that you have no intention of closing unless you get $10,000 net. I am sorry to say that I have no control over how'much you net be- cause that depends on how much you owe the fee owner and First Guaranty. I am enclosing herewith a copy of the check from the City of Mound to me and I am tendering to you an offer to close on this property immediately and I am asking that First Guaranty and Segall attend such a closing so that we can ascertain.¥~ho to pay the money to so that the City of Mound will have a clear title.

After an evaluation of comments and information provided by the public hearing, the Council may elect to amend the Waste Management Policy Plan. Introduction The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has proposed an NPDES permit for the Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant. The proposed permit conditions drafted by the MPCA staff would require the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission to undertake land disposal of sludge from the Metro Plant until the construction of the new sludge disposal facilities is completed in 1981. The disposal of the sludge would require substantial expenditures of capital and operating funds to meet the permit conditions proposed by the MPCA staff. In response to the draft permit conditions the Commission has completed a preliminary study and has proposed a land disposal project. The completiQn of the project would provide for disposal of sufficient quantities pf sludge to enable the Metro Plant to meet the effluent limitations proposed by the MPCA staff. Present Permit and Plant Operation The NPDE$ permit for the Metro Plant expired June 30, 1977. The permit effluent limitations were 45 milligrams per liter for BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) and TSS (Suspended Solids) for the period May 1 to November 30 and 65 mg/1 BOD and 60 mg/1 SS for the period December 1 to April 30. In 1976 the annual average for the plant was 66 mg/1 BOD and 60 mg/1 TSS. The removal efficiency of the plant was 75 percent for BOD and 82 percent for TS$. During 1977, plant performance has varied from 65mg/1 BOD and 48mg/1 for TSS.in January to 38 mg/1 BOD and 42 mg/1 TSS in April. The Metro Plant effluent quality is limited by inadequate sludge processing capacity. The sludge processing problem will not be solved until new sludge processing facilities have been completed in 1981.~ The Commission has placed major portions of the sludge projects under construction and all the sludge projects should be under construction by the end of the year. Alternatives Under Consideration 1. No Project., The effect of "no project" could be one of three. a) The effluent quality may show a limited improvement as presently planned construction on liquid treatment processes is completed and put into operation. b) the concentrations may be similar to effluent quality in 1977. c) the effluent quality may be less because of increased flow into the plant for treatment. Effluent BOD and TSS concentrations between now and 1982 under a "do-nothing" alternative have not been estimated. 2. Metropolitan Pollution q0n~rol Agency Proposed Landfillin~ The MPCA staff has drafted the proposed NPDES permit which would reduce the BOD/TSS effluent limitations each year (as specified in the permit) beginning with 60/55 BOD/TSS for the period July 1 to October 31 and 80/80 for November 1 to April 30, 1977-78. In 1982, when the plant construction would be completed, the effluent limitation will be 25/30. The effluent improve- ment will require land disposal of sludge. Sludge quantities would increase each year. This would also require that liquid treatment processes be placed into operation as they are completed between now and 1981. The' result would be improved treatment and substantial increases in sludge quantities. The MPCA staff proposed that the Commission dispose of the excess sludge on an interim basis' using the Pinebend Landfill in Inver Grove Heights. The landfill operator, Phoenix, Inc., prepared a proposal for the MPCA staff on the cost of !andfilling the sludge at Pinebend. Upon completion of the construction at the Metro Plant, the Commission would rely upon the new sludge facilities, i.e., dewatering, sludge drying and incineration for sludge disposal. 3. Metropolitan Waste Control Commission Proposed Land Application The Commission has decided that they could meet the effluent limitations proposed by the MPCA staff by using the landfill or land spreading of the excess sludge quantities. Instead of using the Pinebend Landfill, the Commission has proposed that a longer-term solution be undertaken at this time. The Commission will need a permanent land.disposal site for screen and grit, incinerator ash and back-up sludge disposal for a number of treatment plants. ~,; A permanent land application for the Commission could solve long-term needs and also provide for.disposal of sludge from the Metro Plant to meet permit requirements proposed~--~. by the Agency staff. The Commission has prepared a preliminary study on a proposed land application project and has proposed a schedule to meet the effluent- limitations that would be incorporated in the NPDES permit. Based on the preliminary study the Commission has proposed the purchase of a site in Rosemount for the land application (landfilling and/or spreading) of Metro sludge necessary to meet proposed permit conditions and also provide a permanent site for land disposal of screen and grit, incinerator ash and back-up sludge disposal for other treatment plants. Other Alternatives The Council would like to know if there are other alternatives for the management of 'sludge, screenings and grit, and incinerator ash. General Issues A $300 million Metro Plant expansibn is underway and will be completed by 1981. The project has been delayed by the impounding of federal grant funds and the review of the pyrolysis project Should the Metropolitan Area be required to spend additional capital and operating funds for interim improvements to the plant during the period that permanent facilities are under con- struction? The construction, environmental review and permits for land disposal of sludge may require a substantial period of time. Will the project be in operation for sufficient, period of time to justify the expenditures as an interim solution? The Commission is conducting a 201 Facilities Planning Study of the management of screen and grit, incinerator ash, and other residuals from all the treatment plant processes. The study will be completed in early 1979. Should the Commission and Council commit resources for site acquisition and construction of facilities before that study is completed ?Will an interim sludge solution jeopardize the careful planning required to provide for the implementation of a permanent residual management plan? What are the environmental and public health concerns warranting~an interim solution? What are the specific environmental and public health impacts if no interim improvements are made? Additional Information Further information is available through the Metropolitan Council Offices.

Dear Mr..and Mrs. Dolge: Sometime ago I called Mrs. Dolge and said that possibly the City may wish to purchase the property owned by Mr. Dolge's Father. Someday we hope to do something with the curve by the park and feel that if you intend to sell the land now, it would be better to buy it now than after someone buys it and begins to make a home there.
