TO: The Honorable Mayors, Councilmembers, and
Public Officials
The LMCD has pulled together this report covering the last
three years' programs, activities and accomplishments. We
hope it will help all of you gain insight and understanding
of the activities and challenges we face in regulating the
use of Lake Minnetonka.
We will continue our commitment to assure that all activi-
ties that take place on the Lake are as pleasurable an
experience as is possible. Certainly water quality,
crowding due to Lake use activity, excessive boating
density at certain times and in certain loeatioms, and the
continuing increase in Lake use in general will be our
primary challenges in the years to come.
We hope all of you will take the time to read the attached
material, call us if you have any questions, and most
importantly contact any of us on the LMCD regarding your
thoughts and suggestions on how we might better serve you,
your community and Lake Minnetonka.
Have a happy Holiday Season and a successful and healthy
1980!
Sincerely,
LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT

LAKE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.
PRIORITIES REPORT, October 1976 - October 1979
After review and evaluation of its Lake management priorities in 1976,
the LMCD selected areas of specific need to concentrate its efforts.
Each year during the three year term (October 1976 to October 1979) the
LMCD long term priorities, as well as those areas of specific emphases,
were reviewed and updated.
Those needs emphasized and programs to date may be reported as follows:
a) Stabilize Water Patrol Pro~ram on. Lon~ Term Basis
New contracts were negotiated with the county board for Sheriff's service
on Lake Minnetonka, which resulted in a county-supported budget increase
from a low of $50,000 in 1977, to $147,000 in 1978, $173,000 in 1979, and'
$186,000 for 1980.
The contract has been extended on a continuing basis for those years beyond
1979 subject to modification by mutual agreement.
With the cooperation of state legislators and other agencies involved, new
legislation has been developed which, when adopted, will substantially
increase state license fee support of the water patrol budget, thereby
relieving the county property tax levy, and further stabilizing the activity.
A backup safety inspection service has been developed by the LMCD and
member municipalities, pending the success of the above programs. Reso-
lution No. 21 has been adopted enabling the District to contract with
member municipalities for safety inspection services.
b) Assist in Continued Development of Water Patrol Services and Enforcement
of Current LMCD Regulations and Policies
The LMCD has assisted in recruiting Water Patrol volunteers by including
information with its flyers in 1978 and 1979, by providing current working
copies of the LMCD Code for each Water Patrol member, and by the review
and updating of the LMCD Code to keep it current with enforcement needs.
Speed control radar equipment was provided for Water Patrol use in 1979.
A noise abatement ordinance was passed utilizing county control equipment.
The District has encouraged coordination of Water Patrol services with
other enforcement agency activity in the area.
The District is currently in litigation to enforce its dock length regu-
lations, having~exhausted other remedies during the period.
The "Quiet Waters" program has been updated regularly with public hearings,
and needed buoy placements made accordingly.
Snowmobile regulations have been reviewed to meet current needs.
A coordinating committee, made up of representatives of the various sailing
groups on the lower Lake, has been encouraged to submit a coordinated race
schedule each year which meets I~CD regulations and has been effective in.
reducing congestion on busy weekend race days.
A Safe Boating Program has been instituted.
The District has reviewed and updated its mooring and temporary buoy permit
regulations.
Dock use area setbacks were re-examined, and the history and rationale on
the development of District policy and regulations covering dock use area
setbacks have been reviewed. The resulting Code amendments have been adopted.
Deicing permit policy has been reviewed, resulting in greater emphasis on
inspection and general publi~ safety.
c) Establish a Long Range Boating Density and Storage Policy and Develo~
a.Comprehensive Lake Management Plan
The LMCD has undergone an extensive review of its boat storage management
policies and programs under its dock license moratoriu~ commencing in 1977.
This comprehensive study has resulting in I2~CD Code changes that include
-2-
the establishment of a one-boat-stored/50'-of-shoreline principal for
multiples, a multiple dock classification system defining different classes
of boat storage, and discourages non residential use of dock use areas.
The 100' maximum length for residential dock use areas was also established
by earlier amendment and has recently been extended to cover new commercial
installations as well.
The District reviewed and updated its boat density study factors (9).
Needed changes are reflected in the Code modifications above.
The Lake Use Committee is conducting a review of the District's policy on
shoreland aesthetics and guidelines, and is developing a model vegetation
control and tree-cutting ordinance.
A boating use survey was distributed to Hennepin County boaters along with
LMCD safe boating rules this past year. Results will be reflected in the
Comprehensive Lake Management Plan under development.
Another result of the moratorium has been the determination of the need for
the development of a Comprehensive Lake Management Plan reflecting LMCD
policies and giving general direction to its programs. The District goals
under the plan, and a policy statement and subject outline, have been com-
pleted to date.
d) Quantify, Delineate and Improve, Where Possible~ Public Access to Lake
Minnetonka with Coordination and Cooperation of Involved Public Bodies
Emphasis on public access during this period has resulting in the identifi-
cation of the eight principal public launching ramps on the Lake. Eight
additional fee ramps open to the public have also been identified. These
ramps have been located on the I~[CD-Water Patrol boating information folder
map, and incorporated into the Lake Use Study Report.
Sample'surveys indicate that 26.7% of all boats stored at Lake shore resi-
dential properties are not Lake shore owner boats.
The District has supported the improvement of the Highway 101-Causeway
launching area, has contributed $500 towards the project, and has requested
that the DNRmake this its No. 1 priority for any access funding on Lake
Minnetonka. The agencies involved are currently working on an agreement
to complete the project.
District policy supports improvements in public accesses such as lookouts,
fishing piers, walkways, etc. There is a critical need for improved remote
parking facilities and other amenities serving present ramps; however, no
additional capacity is needed on the Lake for general boating purposes.
Wayzata is adding a fishing pier and observation deck at its depot frontage.
The county is planning additional fishing access at the CSAH 125 bridge
project in Spring Park, and is attempting to relieve congestion at Spring
Park by opening the county shop,area to boater parking and has made arrange-
ments with Tonka Toys for trailer parking space. Tonka Bay has added a
fishing pier on its frontage along County Road 19.
The LMCD has supported the acquisition of Big Island as a part of the Henne-
pin County Park Reserve Lake Minnetonka island park system.
e) Continue Water Management Pro~ram with MCWD
MCWD water quality reports indicate about the same water quality level as
has been experienced in recent years. The L~D has supported the monitoring
program in the past by providing volunteer water samplers, and in 1979 in
supporting an expanded MCWD sampling program by a $1,000 contribution.
The upper watershed retention project petitioned for by the LMCD has been
held in abeyance until the Grays Bay Dam project is underway. The dam'
project has received final approval and construction is expected to be com-
pleted this year.
The Grey Freshwater Biological Institute has initiated a water quality
testing program on the Lake as part of a research project.
The District has encouraged the completion of the Orono-Long Lake Interceptor
soon to be in operation, which will complete the Metro sewer system in the
Lake area.
MINNETONKA CONSERVATION
Area municipalities and other agencies, public and private, have been en-
couraged to imclude the Lake and its runoff areas in any special cleanup
efforts.
f) Visibility of LMCD
LMCD has continued its program of coordination and cooperation by meeting
with other agencies as needed on Lake-related issues, including municipali~
ties, county, other districts, and state and federal agencies. News
releases and policy statements have been issued where indicated.
An important public information contact has been the distribution of a re-
vised Lake Use folder to over 20,000 LMCD supporters, and to all owners of
boats larger than 16' in Hennepin County, as part of the 1978 Save the Lake
Fund drive. This folder was also used to recruit Water Patrol volunteers.
In 1979 a Lake Minnetonka boating use questionnaire was added. By compari-
son, the Save the Lake Fund mailing presented the opportunity to reach
17,000 Lake area residents through a general area mailing in 1977, and over
6,000 LMCD supporters in 1976.
A Save the Lake Fund project has provided a set of colored photos of the Lake
and shoreline. Prints are available to the public.
Safe boating is being emphasized during this three-year period.
g) Continuing the Regular Business of the I2~CD
Dock licensing procedures have been updated during each of the past three
years resulting in more comprehensive and reliable information being de-
veloped for District records. Public hearings have been instituted for all
new or increased multiple facility applications.
The District inspects all licensed facilities and responds to all complaints.
Variance applications have increased substantially during this period.
Dock license and deicing permit fees have been adopted, which, along with
District mooring area and variance fees, permitted the District to adopt a
1979 budget without levy increase to the villages.
MINNETONKA CONSERVATION 3T
The District regularly conducts a Lake Use Study each season with the
cooperation of the County Public Works Department.
Under state law, the District reviews and approves the county Lake main-
tenance program.
The District requested the establishment of the NOHWL (Normal Ordinary
High Water Level) for Lake Minnetonka by I~DNR along with the MCWD.
A review of LMCD policy on special event permit issuance has led to an
updating of Code requirements.
A fishhouse cleanup program is conducted annually.
The District discourages and prohibits any outdoor lighting which may be
hazardous to navigation, and recommends use of high pressure sodium
lighting or shielding where the sodium lights may not be used.
LMCD safe boating rules synopsis card is updated annually and distributed
as widely as possible.
The state fish seining program is reviewed regularly, and recommendations
made fcr improvement.
The establishment of a boat test course was authorized to assist in the
voluntary observance of LMCD speed regulations.
All past due levies have been collected and are presently current.
The District workload has increased about three times since 1971 to provide
the services of administration and management of the District, including
preparation for meetings, attendance records, reports, recommendations,
research, inspection, and liaison with other agencies.
The District regularly reviews and makes recommendations on request for such
agencies as citizen organizations, municipalities, county, watershed, DNR,
-6- ,.q ,/o
CoE, ¥CA and others, as well as responding to many individual inquiries
and applications.

A Comprehensive Lake Management Plan-Program for Lake Minnetonka
PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
The Enabling Act of 1967 creating the LMCD provided the District with the
authority to manage the Lake by regulating the types of boats, public facilities
for access, the time and area of use, the speed of boats, construction of docks
and moorings, deicing and weed and algae removal, commercial m~rinas, and the
conduct of other zctivities on the Lake to secure the safety of the public and
the most general public use. The Distmict may conduct research, develop a pol-
lution control program, contract with and receive financial assistance Crom
other governmental agencies, petition a watershed district and contmact wi'th
other law enforcement agencies to police the Lake.
The District has conducted water quality studies and developed, in cooperation
with other agencies, a comprehensive program to eliminate pollution of the Lake:
the Harza Study, "A P~ogram far Preserving the Quality of Lake Minnetonkz."
The LMCD has assumed the leadership responsibilities to insure the successful
implementation of this comprehensive pollution control program.
The District has reviewed numerous proposals and adopted basic regulations, where
needed, to protect the Lake and the users of the Lake while Uroviding for the
public safety and the most general public use of the Lake.
The District has conducted annual boating studies on the Lake, and developed a
boating density policy statement and index.
The District has sponsored the "1999" Conference to which many interested agencies
and individuals responded and supported, and which points to the need for a
long-rangeLake plan.
The District h.as contracted with the county for the Sheriff's Water Patrol service
on the Lake.
It is becc~ing apparent that these diverse activities should be coordinated under
a single compmehensive, long-range, Lake management program to increase their
effectiveness, to stabilize Lake management policy, to assure the co-operation
of other affected agencies, and to inform and encourage public participation in
decisions affecting the ~agement of Lake Minnetonka.
Therefore, it is the purpose of the District in developing.this long-range
comprehensive Lake Management Plan to provide guidelines for those interested in
developing policies, programs, and regulations for the beneficial use and
lxreservation of the Lake.
A Com~rehens
Management Plan-Program or Lake Minnetonka
GOALS OF THE DISTRICT
The goal of the District is to develop a long-range program which will take into
consideration LMCD watercraft density classification criteria and which will pro-
vide water quality for~ pleasant recreational use, beautiful natural shoreland
appearance, healthy ~r, acceptable noise levels, and the balancing of human use
and enjoyment consistent with preserving and enhancing the natural environmental
values of the area.
The plan should include the program necessary to reach the following goals:
Develop a comprehensive long-range recreational management plan to insure
each recreational demand the highest possible availability of satisfaction
of that demand, consistent with satisfaction of other~recreational demands,
and preservation of the Lake itself as a recreational resource.
2. Preserve the most general public use of the Lake.
3. F~nage Lake use to ensure equality of use opportunity and a balance of com-
petinguse demands regulating only as necessary.
4- Develop an improved year-round Water Safety Patrol program and encourage de-
velopment of supplemental Patrol service with local police reserves.
Recognize and preserve the unique aesthetic, recreational, and environmental
value of the Lake by balancing existing developmental and use factors to
the normal ability of the watershed to maintain water quality and develop
ways to measure the Lake's progress, including continuance of the develop-
ment of the Boating Density criteria.
6. Continue citizen education encouraging greater participation in Lake area
restoration.
Develop a policy statement on access which includes: encouraging the com-
pletion of the Highway 101 Causeway project as a demonstration of state
willingness to improve Lake access; defining the problem; suggesting
solutions to those problems; and providing a model access ordinance.

Dear Mayor Lovaasen:
From time to time, many have expressed concern about rules and standards in
effect for the State Aid program with cities and counties. In addition, many
questions have been asked about standards for bridge replacements, and to a
greater degree, bridge replacements on the township road system. NOW IS YOUR
OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE INPUT INTO THE RULES THAT GOVERN T}KESE STANDARDS.
As a result of these questions, including the requirement of parallel parking
currently in the rules, the cities and counties through their City and County
Engineers requested that the Local Road Research Board conduct research on
roadway design standards. The results of this research will be used to deter-
mine if changes should be made to standards now in use and if so, what changes
should occur.
The Local Road Research Board, with Mn/DOT assistance, conducted Phase I of the
.study during 1977. The Board then decided to engage the services of a Consultant
Firm for Phase II.
On December 2, 1977, proposals were requested and in March, 1978, Jack E. Leisch
and Associates of Evanston, Illinois, was selected to undertake the research.
On June 8, 1979, the Executive Summary Draft report was received.
On June 11, 1979, letters went to the League of Cities and the ~nnesota Associ-
ation of Counties requesting that they appoint the members of the committee to
advise in establishing rules for the operation of State Aid within Minnesota
Statutes 162.02, Subd. 2, and 162.09, Subd. 2. Additional letters were sent to
the Association of Minnesota Counties on August 21, 1979 and again on October 24,
1979, requesting the names of the. committee members. On November 1, 1979, the
requested list was received by Mn/DOT.
Please keep in mind that the role of the Commissioner of Transportation is to
promulgate rules and standards on behalf of counties and cities.

It has come to our attention that two parcels for the above

Avalon, P.I.D. #19-117-23 31 0007 was over charged by 8.00 feet
on the extra width driveway apron. This would reduce the assess-
ment by $40.00 for a new total of $2,362.56. Lots 1 & 2, Block
16, Seton, P.I.D. #19-117-23 23 0023 was charged for a new
sewer service which was not installed. This would reduce the
assessment for this parcel by $125.00 for a new total of $3,606.65.

Re: Variance Request
Dear Len:
At your council meeting on November 13, our office was
directed to prepare a resolution regarding the boat house at
3100 Island View Drive. Mr. Larson of my office was in attendance
and has presented me with the facts as they appeared at the
meeting and Henry Truelsen has sent us some additional information.
I am enclosing herewith for the Council's consideration, a proposed
resolution.
If the proPerty owner does not voluntarily remove the boat
house, we will undoubtedly have a tough court battle on our hands
and will have to bring an action to try to force the removal.

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION DETERMINING THAT A BOAT
HOUSE LOCATED ON LOT 56, PHELPS ISLAND
PARK FIRST ADDITION, HAS BEEN IMPROVED
CONTRARY TO CITY ORDINANCES AND DENYING
APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE
WHEREAS, Donald Kempf is the owner of property located at
3100 Island View Drive and consisting of Lots 55 and 56, Phelps
Island Park First Addition, and
WHEREAS, Chapter 462 of the Minnesota Statutes authorizes the
City Council with the aid and assistance of the City Planning
Commission to carry out municipal planning activities which
guide and .control development and improvements within the community,
and
WHEREAS, the City has adopted a zoning ordinance, Chapter 23 of
the City Code, and the intention of said ordinance is to correct past
errors in platting, building, and land use Wherein much development
took place in the City prior to the adoPtion of any planning
regulations or planning thought and to direct, aid and assist develop-
ment on an equal basis throughout the community for present and future
development, and "
WHEREAS, the City did provide in the Zoning Ordinance for non-
conforming uses to protect existing property values and to meet
constitutional requirements protecting the rights of property
owners and to prevent the taking of lands or property without the
payment of compensation, and
WHEREAS, Courts throughout this country have unifcrmly recognized
non-conforming, uses as a method of protecting said property rights but
Courts and treatises on zoning and planning have uniformly agreed
that non-conforming uses may be lost for a variety of reasons,
including deterioration, -and
WHEREAS, Section 23.20 of the Mound Code of Ordinances relates
to and provides regulations regarding non-conforming uses, and
Section 23.20, Subd. a, of the City Code states in part as follows:
'~The lawful use of a building or premises as of December 20,
1945, may be continued, although such use does not conform
to the provisions hereof. Such use may be extended through
the building provided no structural alterations- are made
therein other than those required~ by law or ordinance,
or as may be necessary to establish conformity." "
and
3
WHEREAS, the property located at 3100 Island View Drive
is a non-conforming use because all structures-are to be' set back
50 feet from the lake side or front yard set back and the boat
house is not located on Lots 55 and 56 but rather is located on
an area marked private street on the plat of Phelps Island Park
Firs% Addition, and is within several feet of the water depending
upon the water elevation at the time of measurement, and
WHEREAS, council members of their own personal knowledge and
the building inspector have reviewed the area where the boat house
is located and makes the following findings:
a. A new roof has been installed consisting of plywood
and wood hand. split shingles.
be
New siding consisting of cedar and cedar batten
strips has been installed and provision has been
made for electrical and/or telephone extensions to
the structure.
Ce
The structure is located so close to the lake that
.it does not conform with city regulations or with
regulations of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.
A new metal d. oor and. glass side light have been
installed.
e. A new chimney and presumably a new stove have ~een
installed.
New interior wall surfaces, subfloor, etc. have been
installed along with a Franklin free standing wood
burning stove, and. all of the aforementioned improvements
have been made without obtaining a building permit from
the City and the applicant did not apply for such
building permit until after it was discovered that this
work had been done or at least a large part of it had
been done,
and
WHEREAS, the Hennepin County Assessor acting as the City
Assessor informs the Council that the beach house or boat house
described on a Certificate of Survey as of November 13, 1970,
was not listed on the tax rolls until 1973 and that at that time
had. a valuation of $500. The value was d. ecreased, to $200 in 1975,
and in 1976 it was determined to have no value. The assessor
further, advises that in lieu of the repairs and structural work on
the boat house structure, it was their intention to put a valuation
of $500 on it and to add it back onto the tax rolls, and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the City ordinances and the rules
and regulations of the Minnehaha Watershed District and the Lake
Minnetonka Conservation District to correct these old encroachments
on the lake and by the use of non-conforming uses to eventually
bring all of these structures into compliance with currect
regulations, and
WHEREAS, the boat house (beach house) located at 3100 Island
View Drive is and was a non-conforming use and should be relocated
to comply with existing ord. inances and regulations and. the owner
has seen fit to improve and add many ~new structural improvements
to this use, all in violation of City ordinances and regulations;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED By the city council of the
City of Mound.:
1. The structure located on the private street easterly of
Lots 55 and 56 of Phelps Island Park First Add. ition was and is a
non-conforming use and has been structurally im~proved contrary to
the provisions of Section 23.20, Subd.. a of the City Cod.e.
2. The applicant's request for a variance to in effect condone
and approve the reconstruction work on this non-conformin~ use is
hereby denied based on the following findings:
The age of the structure is unknown, and the condition
of it prior to recent years is unknown, because the
City never had an opportunity to inspect or catalogue
the structure.
be
The applicant has created, his owh~hardship by illegally
proceeding to repair and. reconstruct m~jor structural
changes throughout the build_ing in question without
obtaining a building permit.
The Building Inspector has estimated that between $2,000
and $3,000 of improvements have been mad.e to this structure
in recent time without any building permit contrary to
Section 26.01 of the Mound City Code and Section 10~~
and Section 301 of the state building code.
de
The property is a~ non-conformin~ use in that the structure
in question is located too close to Lake Minnetonka and
the request for a lake front set back of a miniml.u~ distance
is contrary to the zoning ordinances of the City and. does
not conform to the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District
or the Minnehaha Watershed District regulations.
The extensive repair work on this structure is considered
structural changes within the provisions or. Section 23.20
of the City Code.
f. It is the finding and determination of this Council that
based upon the fact situation as set forth in the Whereas
provisions of this Resolution, the applicant's
~current problem was created by the applicant's failure
to comply with City and District rules and regulations
prior to the time he com~.enced making repairs. .J
3. It is a further finding of this Council that the application
for a variance should be and is hereby denied because the granting
of the variance would have an adverse and. detrimental affect on
the health, safety, and general welfare of the City, would be
contrary to City ordinances, and would perpetuate and extend a non-
conforming use which would frustrate the purposes and intent of
the comprehensive plan and. the Zoning ordinances of the City of
Mound.
4. It is a further finding .of this Council that the non-conformin
use must now be removed and brought into compliance with City
ordinances and regulations of the Minnehaha Watershed District 'and
the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District because to allow the
structure to now remain would perpetuate and extend a non-conformin?
use and would be there,.for ,~.any more years contrary to the legal
reasons for having a non-conforming use which is to amortize the
value of the structure before causing its removal, and therefore the
owner of this property should be directed by the City Manager to
remove the structure and bring it into compliance, and if the.
property owner refuses, the City 5~anager shall report back to the Coun-
cil which shall then consider commencing an action in the District
Court for the removal and. relocation of the structure. It is the
sincere desire of this Council that the applicant comply with this
request, and if he does comply the City's prosecuting attorney
is requested to not proceed to bring charges for the remodeling
without a permit. The City Manager shall report to this Coun. cil
no later than May 15, 19S0, informin~ the Council if the applicant
has complied with the City's request. The applicant shall be given
a copy of this Resolution of Denial and Findings, and he is to be
informed that if there is no compliance, the City will pursue
this matter further in an attempt to bring this property into
comp 1 i an ce.

A Resolution Regarding the Northwest Lake Minnetonka Area Transportation System
Whereas, Hennepin County did propose in 1970 to improve CSAH 15 from Mound to
Navarre and subsequently removed this project from their capital
program, and
Whereas, The municipalities of Orono, Minnetrista and Independence together
with Hennepin County in 1974 developed a report on "Proposed County
Road System Revisions in the NorthweSt Lake Minnetonka Area", and
Whereas, This report recommended as most acceptable for the Northwest Lake
Minnetonka Area a roadway system utilizing CSAH's llO, 6 and 19 (extended),
and
Whereas, Since the programming of most of this system has been delayed by
Hennepin County due to lack of funds, and
Whereas, The City of OronO has completed the "ring route" roadway from CSAH 6/
Watertown Road to CSAH 19/84 which will obviate portions of the
1974 report, and
Whereas, The cities of Minnetrista, Mound, Spring Park and Orono together
with Hennepin County desire that permanent solutions be found to
the unsafe and congested traffic conditions for present and future
traffic, pedestrians and bicyclists on county roads in their cities,and
Whereas, The Cities now agree that the proper Lake Minnetonka Area transportation
system plan should include as a minimum portions of CSAH's 6, 15, llO
and a diagonal "ring route" from CSAH llO/151 to CSAH 6/TH 12.
Now Therefore Be It Resolved, That in order to assure the communities of Minnetrista,
Mound, Spring Park and Orono of continued planning and design and eventual funding
and construction of needed road improvements in our cities the Hennepin County
Department of Transportation be requested:
1. To proceed as planned in 1980 with the reconstruction of CSAH llO from
CSAH 15 to CSAH 151 as a properly designed modern four-lane undivided
city street.
2. To place in their 5 year Capital Improvement Program commensurate with
available funds the reconstruction of CSAH 15 from CSAH 110 to CSAH 19
as a properly designed modern four-lane undivided city street.
3. To coordinate with the Minnesota Department of Transportation the safety
requirements of the CSAH 6/TH 12 intersection and on TH 12 easterly.
4. To continue planning with the respective cities the completion of the
"ring route" from CSAH 110/151 to CSAH 19/84 along with eventual change
in jurisdiction of the entire "ring route" to a county road - provided
other existing area county roads revert to the cities.

Dear Mayor and Council:
At the request of Mr. Kopp, we are pleased to submit this estimate of
the cost of an audit of the City of Mound Fire & Relief Assoc. for the
year ending December 31,. ]9.79
~ es.ti~at~"~hat our fee would not exceed-~$500' ~l the items mentioned
in~H~-Cl~~qn~st""for-'pro~als~wbUl'~"~-~omplied with.
Our fees are based on the amount of time we spend on an engagement. We
encmzrage our clients to have their personnel assist in the preparation
of working papers and schedules, and give us as much clerical assistance
as possible in order to keep this cost to a minimum. Should our time be
less than anticipated, our fee would be reduced accordingly.
OUR APPROACH
The audit which we will perform will be an examination which consists of
a review of internal control, accounting procedures, and the details of
all records, including subsidiary records and supporting data as to
mathematical accuracy, propriety and completeness of all transactions on
a test basis. The test examination presumes that the items selected are
representative of all the transactions.

Dear Councilmembers:
We are currently planning our'fall and winter work program and would appreciate
an indication that we may be invited to conduct the 1979 audit of the City as we
have the past year.
We would perform an audit of the balance sheets of the various funds of the City
as of December 31, 1979 and the related financial statements for the year then
ended. The audit would be performed in accordance with the procedures established
by the State Auditor and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
These procedures are compatible with the pronouncements of the National Council
on Governmental Accounting.
The audit which we would perform would include tests, rather than a detailed
examination, of all transactions and, therefore, it should not be considered
that irregularities, if any, will necessarily be disclosed. However, they may
be disclosed as the result of one or more of our audit procedures.
As in previous years, we plan to do as much work before the year end as possible
so that we may present our report at an early date.
~'~"~-~timate the cost of such an audit will not exceed a range of $5,500 to $5,900.~
Our audit would not include the Firemen's Relief Association. Should our timebe\
anticipated, our fee would be reduced accordingly.
We have enjoyed our relationship with the City during the past year and hope
that we may be allowed to conduct the 1979 audit.

The regular meeting of the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District was
called to order by Vice Chairman Bauman at 8:02 p.m., Wednesday,
October 24, 1979, at the Tonka Bay Village Hall.
Members present:. Richard Garwood (Deephaven), Jerry Johnson (Excelsior),
Robert Brown (Greenwood), Robert Pillsbury (Minnetonka), David Boies
(Minnetonka Beach), Frank Hunt (Spring Park), Ed~Bauman (Tonka Bay), and
Robert MacNamara (Wayzata). Communities represented: Eight (8).

1979 meeting be approved. Motion, Ayes (8), Nays (0).
Hunt Moved, MacNamara Seconded, that the Treasurer's report be approved~.
Motion, Ayes (8), Nays (0).
Hunt Moved, Johnson Seconded, that the bills be paid. Motion, Ayes (8),

LAKE USE COMMITTEE: Pillsbury reported that the Highway 101-Causeway
Redevelopment project appears to be progressing after the meeting in-
volving the Cities of Wayzata and Minnetonka with the Park Reserve on
October 10th. At that meeting the basic elements of a contract proposal
involving these three parties for the construction, operation and main-
tenance of the facility were. worked on.
The con~ittee laid over the discussion of the Comprehensive Plan until
the next Lake Use meeting, to allow further response from Board members.
After discussion of a model tree-cutting control ordinance for protec-
tion of the Lake shoreland greenbelt area, the committee continued
further discussion for the development of information on the experience
of other agencies in this area.
The committee discussed motorboat racing policy on the Lake, and noted
that the District has permitted the antique boat society to have a fly-by
during its Antique Boat Parade the last several seasons in August; and
this year, in September, in conjunction with Wayzata's James J. Hill Days,
an Antique Boat race with speeds limited to the LMCD maximum of 40 mph
was permitted. Otherwise, high speed boat racing has been discouraged on
the Lake. There are no other organized races in Hennepin County except
the Aquatennial race on Lake Calhoun where there is adequate shoreline
available to handle the public, and no other boat traffic is allowed on
that lake during the races (there is considerable opposition to these
races). The committee will discuss the matter further.
The Water Patrol nine-month boating activity report, compared With last
year for the Lake, indicates that (a) boating accidents are down 60%

(17 vs. 43), (b) enforcement activity is up 62%, and (c) hours of actual
patrol is up 21% (1,669 hours). The number of regular deputies assigned
to Water Patrol duty is back up to the same strength as it was prior to
the reduced budget period, an~ at least one full-time deputy is assigned
with the volunteers to the Lake at all times. The Water Patrol has six
snowmobiles for service this winter, and its budget this year will allow
for the reinstatement of ~he beginners' snowmobile training program this
season; we are asked to assist in acquainting th~'public with the availa-
bility of this safety training program again.

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM NO. 79-449
SUBJECT: Public Hearings - Street Vacations
Two hearings for street vacations are scheduled for December lltho
They are:
1. Vacation of Essex Lane between Manchester and Dorchester
2. Vacation of Hampton Road from Inverness Lane to the easterly
line of Lot 8 Block 10, Pembroke
Discussion of each vacation is discussed on attached sheets.
)Leonard L. Kopp ! ~ '
ESSEX - From Manchester to Dorchester
Comments on the vacation are:
1. McCombs Knutson - "The R.O.W. on essex from Dorchester to Manchester
is not needed for sewer, water or storm sewer easements and all
buildable lots fronting on the R.O.W. have access to the other
streets. We have no objection to vacating the street."
Minnegasco - "Minnesota Gas Company has no facilities within the
above described area and has no objection to its vacation."
Northern States Power Company - "We have no facilities within this
street and it does not appear that there will be any required in
the future. Therefore, we have no objection to this action."
Continental Telephone - "We presently have no facilities located in
this street and we cannot foresee any in the immediate future. Con-
tinental has no objections to vacating of Essex Lane from Manchester
to Dorchester."
Police Chief - "..., the Police Department sees no need for the city
to maintain a street at this location, nor are any problems antici-
pated in the future by abandoning this street."
6. Public Works - "It is recommended by the Public Works Department to
allow the vacation."
This same vacation'was requested and denied in 1978 because it was thought
the land might be needed for storm sewer. The storm sewer has been in-
stalled on a private easement supplied by one of the applicants for
vacation.
DORCHESTER
HAMPTON ROAD - From Inverness Lane to the easterly boundary of
Lot 8, Block 10, Pembroke
The vacation is requested by owners of the land abutting the proposed
vacation.
Comments on the proposed vacation are:
Public Works Director - "The Public Works Department can foresee
no need for the portion of Hampton Road adjacent to Lot 1, Block 9
and Lot 7, Block 10 in Pembroke."
Minnegasco - "The Minnesota Gas Company has no facilities within the
above described area and has no objections to its vacation."
3. Northern States Power - "Therefore, we have no objection to the
proposed vacation."
4. Engineer (See copy of letter attached) who recommends retainage of
a 30 foot utility and drainage easement.
The vacation is recommended with retention of the easement suggested
by the Engineer.

Vacation of Part of Hampton Road
Dear Mr. Kopp:
As requested, we submit our comments and recommendations
on the vacation of Hampton Road adjacent to Lot 1, Block 9
and Lot 7, Block 10, Pembroke.
1. The grade of this non-existent street is over 14%,
therefore the construction of a street' here is not feasible.
2. We would recommend that a utility and drainage easement
be retained on the whole 30 foot right-of-way if the street is
vacated. The watermain on Hampton Road west of the proposed
vacated street is a 900 foot long dead end watermain. The
City may wish to connect this dead end with the watermain on
Inverness in the future to loop this line.
350 feet of Hampton Road west of the proposed vacation
drains toward Inverness. While no storm sewer is planned
between the dead end of Hampton and Inverness, the runoff
from Hampton will drain overland to Inverness, therefore a
drainage easement should be retained on the existing right-of-
way.
In summary, we have no objection to vacating this street,
if a utility and drainage easement is retained.
Very truly yours,

As you know, we are involved in the acquisition of a
building"located at 2361-Wilshire Boulevard, in the City of
Mound. This building will be vacated because the present
owners are acquiring a new building in the City. The purpose
of this letter is to request that the City of Mound undertake
' to authorize municipal revenue bond.finanqing of all or a
portion of the project in accordance with the Municipal
Industrial Development Act.of the State of Minnesota.
Attached is a form of p~oposed preliminary resolution
which yQur bond counsel, Briggs and Morgan, has advised us.
should be adopted if the City Council should elect to authorize
-such financing.'
We hereby confirm our representation that we have no
present binding financing commitment, no general contract, nor
any legal obligation to undertake the proposed project, and it
is not certain the project would be undertaken without the
assistance requested' herein. '
We have heretofore agreed and do hereby reaffirm that
we will pay any and all costs mutually agreed upon in advance
that are incurred by the City in connection with the project
whether or hot the project is completed and whether or not the
projedt is ultimately financed by the City under the Municipal
Industrial Development Act. In this regard we understand that
though we are liable for the fees of the City's attorney and
its bond counsel, they will continue to owe a fiduciary
obligation solely to the City with respect to all services

RE:
Proposed issUance of a.commercial, development revenue note of the
City of Mound, MN (victor N. Jude, Dennis J. Oas, Ralph J. 'smith,.
Properties, Project owner).
Gentlemen: : · ' "
At the request of Victor N. jUde, .Dennis J. Oas', Ralph J. Smith, Properties,
we have conducted a study of the economic feasibility of.the proposal that -..
the City o£ Mound issue one or more of its revenue bonds under the.provisions.
· of the Minnesota Municipal Industrial Development Act tO Provide funds for
the acquisition of an existing building located at 2361 Wilshire Blvd., Mound to be
owned by Victor N. Jude, Dennis J. Oas, Ralph J. Smith, Properties and leased
to Jude Candy ~'ompanies and two other tenants.
Our study has led us to-[he conclusion that on the ba. sis of current financial.
conditions, the project is economically feasible and the revenue bonds of the
City can be successfully issued and sold. It is proposed that'four banks will
be purchasing said bonds under a single debt insturment, subject to approval
of the project by the City of Mound and the Minnesota Commissioner of Securities
and agreements as to the terms and conditions of the loan.
We understand a copy of this letter will be forwarded by the City to the Commissioner
of Securities of the State of Minnesota to serve as the letter of intent required by
the Commissioner.

COMMERCIAL FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT'PROJECT
GIVING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL TO THE PROJECT
PURSUANT TO THE MINNESOTA
MUNICIPAL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT ACT
AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF AN APPLICATION
FOR APPROVAL OF SAID PROJECT TO THE
COMMISSIONER oF SECURITIES
OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
AND AUTHORIZING THE PREPARATION OF.
NECESSARY ~OCUMENTS AND MATERIALS
IN CONNECTION WITH SAID PROJECT
W~EREAS,
(a) The purpose of Chapter 474, Minnesota
Statutes, known as the Minnesota MuniQipal Industrial·
Development Act (the "Act") as foUnd and det'ermined by the
legislature is to Promote the welfare of the state by the
active attraction and encouragement and development of economi-
cally sound industry and.commerce to prevent §o far as possible
the-emergence of blighted and marginal lands and areas of
chronic unemployment; '~
(b) Factors necessitating the active promotion
and development of economically sound industry and co~nerce are
the increasing concentration of population in the metropolitan
areas and the rapidly rising increase in the amount and cost of
governmental services required to meet the needs of the
ihcreased population and the need for development of land use
which will provide an adequate tax'base to finance these
increased costs and access to employment opportunities for such
population;
(c) The City Co~ncii of the City of Mound ("the
City") has received from Victor N. Jude, Dennis J. Oas, Ralph
J.~ Smith, Properties, a Partnership organized under the laws of
the State of Minnesota (the "Company") a proposal that the
City undertake to finance a Project hereinafter described,
through the issuance of revenue bonds in the form of a single
debt instrument ("the Note~') pursuant to the Act;
(d) The City desires to facilitate the selec-..
tive development of the'community, retain and improve its tax
base and help it provide the range of services and employment
opportunities required by its population; and the Project will
assist the City in achieving those objectives. The Project
will help to.increase assessed valuation o~ the City and help
maintain a posi'tive relationship between assessed valuation and
debt and enhance the image and reputation of the City;
(e) Company is currently engaged in the
business of acquiring real estate. The Project to be financed
by the Note is the acquisition of an existing building located
in the City and leased to Jude Candy Co. and two other tenants
and consists'of the acquisition of land and an existing
building, and will result in the'employment of additional
persons to work within the new facilities. The existing
building to be acquired will be vacated because-.the?.p~esent
owners are acquiring a new building.in the City of Mound;
~Ompan(f)y 'The City has been advised by representa-
tives
of
that conventional, commercial financing to pay
the capital.cost of the Project is available only on a limited
basis and at such high costs of borrowing that the economic
feasibility of opergting the Project would be significantly
reduced, but ComPany has also advised this Council that with'
the aid of municipal~financing, and its resulting low bor-
rowing cost, the Project is economically more feasible;
(g) Pursuant to a resolution of the City.
Council adopted on November 13, 1979~ a public hearing on the
Project was held on December 11, 1979, after notice was
published, and materials made available for public inspection
at Mound City Hall, all as required by Minnesota Statutes,
Section 474.01, Subdivision 7b at which public hearing all
those appearing at said hearing so .desired to speak were heard;
(h) NO public.°fficial of the City has either a
direct or indirect financial interest in the Project nor will
any public official either directly or indirectly benefit
financially from the P~oject. '

Subdivision la of Section 474.02 of the Act; that the Project
furthers the purposes stated in Section 474.01, Minnesota
Statutes'; that the availability of the financing under the Act
and willingness of the City to furnish such financing will be a
substantial inducement to Company to undertake the Project, and

Re: ~equest for nNo Parking Between Signs - Loading Zone" Signs
Minnetonka Post ~398, American Legion requests a "No Parking Between Signs -
Loading Zone" Sign be placed at the curb approximately where the north edge of
the. hedge begins and another at the curb approximately at the south end of the
hedge.
The purpose is to permit visitors to the building to drive up, unload passengers
and park elsewhere. This is of particular importance to the Senior Citizens
who use the building for their meetings as does the World War I Barracks. Many
of these citizens are driven to the hall by someone else. If this soace is
kept clear, unloading and pick-up can be made at the curb directly in front of
the building instead of in the middle of the street or across the street. It
would help the confusion and congestion which does occur at present.
Also, it would helo to prevent un!oadim~ and loading at the curb in front of
the businesses in the building adjacent to the Legion Hall. The Legion does
not want to interfere with the access to those businesses.
We believe this to be of benefit to the city as a whole and request the signs-
be placed.'

SUBJECT: Water & Sewer Rates
The Engineer is going to try and provide the additional information
requested prior to the December llth meeting.
However, if the Council decides to continue the discussion on water
rates, it is recommended that consideration be given to the sewer
rates fOr change on January 1.
Attached are copies of the present and proposed rates.
In addition to. information on present rates, there is a charge for
dwellings connected to sewer, but not to water. These pay $11.50
flat rate per quarter. This should be increased to somewhere be-
tween $15 and $20 per quarter.
The Engineer's report is attached. These amended tables 7 and 13
show in table 7, the cost of services with and without Tonka Toys;
in table 13, the percent of revenue from existing rates from each
type of service and estimate of percent of increase.
He also has comparative rates ~or water and sewer of other communi-
ties. Although it is not shown in his report, ir'is doubtful if
any other cities have as many lift stations to maintain.

2. A copy of a traffic movement study Cry. Rds. 15 & 110
3. A copy of speed survey sheet on either side of Wilshire
on Cry. Rd. 15
4. A copy of the accident map for two years on Cry. Rd. llO

The study report's recommendations begin at the bottom of page 4:
1. They ask for a parallel parking lane on llO north of Lynwood
2. A divided roadway be constructed north of the railroad (see attach-
ment # 2).
3.No parking be placed on both sides of Lynwood for 200 feet west
of llO.
Note: This will cut off one access to Superamerica and take parking
off the street in front of the apartments. See attachment # 2
Additional signs be installed on Lynwood on each side of "S" curve.
A temporary traffic signal be installed at Wilshire & Shoreline.
The City would have to pay full cost of $12 to $15,000., but this
cost will be deducted from the City's cost of a permanent signal
(a temporary signal is on wood poles rather than metal poles and
interior lane lights are hung on wires rather than metal poles).
They may also request traffic islands near the corner to direct
traffic.
6. They request our Public Works Department to give closer attention
to ice control on the steep streets approaching 15--especially
Belmont and Fairview.
The Council should take action on recommendations:
1. Parking north of Lynwood.
2. Divided roadway with pedestrian island north of Railroad to Lynwood
3. No parking for 200 feet on south side of Lynwood west of Commerce.
5. Temporary traffic signals with divided highway.
Public Works Department is requested to handle item 6.

STUDY REPORT
CSAH 15 AND CSAH 110
CITY OF MOUND
PURPOSE OF STUDY
On request from the City of Mound, Hennepin County undertook the study of
CSAHs 15 and 110. The study areas involved were on CSAH 15 from east of Grandview
to east city limits with Spring Park and on CSAH 110 from Highland Blvd. to north
of Lynwood. The purpose of the study was to -
--Determine accident locations, types, and rates.
--Identify accident problem areas.
--Perform required traffic volume studies.
--Recommend possible safety and capacity improvements.
SCOPE OF STUDY
Accident reports for the period of January 1, 1977 to October 30, 1978 were
received from the Mound Police Department. From this data, accident diagrams were
made showing location, type, severity and time of each accident. This data was also
compared with 1974 to 1976 accidents received from the State of Minnesota. Accident
rates were computed for each intersection and segment of roadway and compared to
similar roadways within the county.
Traffic volume studies were limited due to the detour routes in effect on
CSAHs 15 and 110. However, previous studies taken in this area were used when
possible.
Traffic studies were taken at -
--CSAH 110 and CSAH 15 (South Jct.) - 16 hour turning movement survey.
--CSAH 15 and Wilshire Avenue - 48 hour approach count on Wilshire and a 16 hour
turning movement survey.
--CSAH 15 near Wilshire Avenue - Radar speed study.

RESULTS OF STUDY
The main focus of the study was on CSAH 15 east of CSAH 110 and CSAH 110 between
the junctions of CSAH 15. Accident analysis of these areas showed a 3 year (1974 -
1976) accident rate on CSAH 15, from east of CSAH 110 to east of Bartlett Blvd., of
7.67 Accidents per Million Vehicle Miles (ACC/MVM). This rate is comparable to the
overall County accident rate of 7.03 ACC/MVM. The accident rates in 1977 and 1978
were 7.45 ACC/MVM and 6.46 ACC/MVM, respectively.
The intersection of CSAH 110 with CSAH 15/Lynwood had a 1974-1976 accident rate
of 2.84 Accidents per Million Vehicles (ACC/MV) as compared to the County rate for
similar intersections of 0.89 ACC/MV. The 1977 and 1978 rates were 2.18 ACC/MV and
1.58 ACC/MV. CSAH 110 at the south junction of CSAH 15 had a 1974-1976 accident rate
of 1.69 ACC/MV and the 1977 and 1978 rates were 2.26 ACC/MV and 1.35 ACC/MV. The
County average rate was 1.81ACC/MV for similar signalized intersections.
Therefore, with the exception of the intersection of CSAH 110 and CSAH 15/Lynwood,
the study area of CSAH 15 and CSAH 110 has accident rates similar to accident rates
experienced throughout the County Highway System.
In reviewing the accident locations and types, these areas were identified as
warranting additional study and possible safety improvements -
--"S" curve on CSAH 15 west of CSAH 110. Nine accidents were reported during the
accident study period (January 1, 1977 to October 30, 1978). Of these, 6 were
sideswipe, 1 head-on, and 2 ran Off road accidents. Wet or icy road conditions
were present on 6 of the accidents and 3 accidents involved drinking. Illegal or
unsafe speed and driving left of centerline were the main contributing factors as
reported by the investigating police officers.
--CSAH 15 and CSAH 110 (north intersection) had 15 reported accidents of which 7
accidents were not intersection related. Of the 8 intersection related accidents
the main cause was driver error or inattention.
Study Report
CSAH 15 & CSAH 110
City of Mound
Page 'three
--CSAH 15 and CSAH 110 (south intersection) had 15 accidents with 4 not intersection
related' The 11 intersection related accidents were mainly rear end and left turn
accidents caused by driver inattention, failure to yield right of way and improper
driving.
--A total of 5 accidents were reported during the study period at CSAH 15 and Belmont
Drive. Also, from 1974 through 1976, 17 accidents were reported. The majority of
these were rear-end accidents involving a motorist waiting to make a left turn.
Icy or wet road conditions were reported in most accidents involving a vehicle on
Belmont.
--Seven accidents occurred on CSAH 15 between Belmont and Cypress with 5 located at
the Metro Service Station. Of these 5 accidents, 4 involved vehicles turning in
or out of the station.
--CSAH 15 at Wilshire Drive had 13 reported accidents with 12 involving turning
vehicles. Apparent contributing factors were driver inattention, failure to yield
right of way and vision being obscured by other vehicles.
--Seven accidents occurred within the area of the intersection of CSAH 15 and Fairview
Drive. There were 3 rear-end, 2 sideswipe and 2 right angle accidents. The con-
tributing factors were following too closely and driver inattention.
Results of the traffic and accident studies at CSAH 15 and Wilshire Boulevard
show that accident and traffic volumes meet the criteria of the Accident Experience
Warrant justifying a traffic signal installation.
Traffic data from the survey at the south junction of CSAH 110 and CSAH 15 were
used to coordinate the traffic signals with the recently installed railroad signals
north of the intersection.

MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS
Major temporary improvement alternates, similar to the project on CSAH 15 in
Spring Park, were prepared for the area on CSAH 110 between the junctions of CSAH 15
and on CSAH 15 from CSAH 110 east to Fairview. The purpose was to maximize safety
and capacity within the existing roadway and right-of-way limits.
The alternates were then evaluated as to the impact on safety and capacity
within and outside the project area. The evaluation revealed, under present conditions,
some of the accident problems could be alleviated and a slight increase in capacity
could be gained throUgh the construction of this type of temporary improvement project.
However, these benefits would be short-termed, especially in reducing congestion. The
improvement alternates did not effectively i'mpact on the long-term safety and capacity
problems facing this study area or CSAH 15 throughout the Lake area.
Therefore, major temporary improvement projects in this area are not recommended
due to their minimal impact on long-term capacity and safety problems. Instead, to
effectively reduce accidents and congestion and increase capacity on both a short-term
and long-term basis, a total reconstruction of CSAH 15 through the Mound, Spring Park, and
theNavarreareais required. This type of project would require a minimum of 4 lanes
with possible additional lanes and channelization at major intersections.
Presently 2 major reconstruction projects on CSAH 110 are scheduled. CSAH 110
from north of Lynwood Boulevard to CSAH 151 is scheduled for construction in 1980 and
CSAH 110 from CSAH 125 to the south junction of CSAH 15 in 1981.
SPOT IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
Although major temporary improvement projects are not recommended, spot improve-
ments can be made to alleviate congestion and increase safety at a number of locations
until a major reconstruction project can be implemented. Listed are recommendations
for spot improvements on CSAH 15 and CSAH 110.

CSAH 110 North of Lynwood Boulevard
A separate parallel parking lane on the east side of CSAH 110, similar to that
shown on Attachment No. 1, is recommended.
CSAH 110 North of the Railroad Crossing
Construct a 4 foot wide median island from north of the railroad crossing to the
north junction of CSAH 15 (Attachment No. 2). The median island will provide refuge
to pedestrians crossing CSAH 110 and increase traffic control and roadway delineation.
Nest Approach of CSAH 15 at CSAH 110
Offset the centerline stripe on the west approach of CSAH 15 at CSAH 110 to
develop 2 eastbound traffic lanes (Attachment No. 2). To accommodate the 2 eastbound
lanes, parking must be removed for 200 feet west of the intersection on both sides
of CSAH 15.
CSAH 15 "S" Curve West of CSAH 110
Install additional delineation and upgrade signing through the "S" curve as
stated below and shown on Attachment No. 3.
--Install arrow signs for westbound and eastbound traffic at the south curve.
--Increase sign size of arrows inplace.
--Raise height of arrow sign for eastbound traffic at the north curve.
--Install advanced warning signs of curve on both sides of roadway for eastbound traffic.
Place traprock seal coat ~r bituminous overlay throuqh the "S" curve area for additional
skid resistance.

CSAH 15 at Wilshire Avenue
Install a temporary traffic signal at the intersection of CSAH 15 and Wilshire
Avenue. Plans are being prepared and will be sent to the City for review and
approval in the near future. To better facilitate traffic movements through the
signalized intersection, the entrance to Tonka Toys, east of Wilshire, should be
relocated opposite Wilshire Avenue.
Side Street Approaches to CSAH 15
Maintain appropriate snow and ice control on side street approaches to the
intersection~ especially on Belmont and Fairview where steep approach grades and
short sight distances are present. Six of eight intersection accidents involving
vehicles on these 2 streets occurred under wet or icy road conditions.

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM NO. 79-441
SUBJECT: Commercia! Dock Ordinances
The Council considered a change in the Commercial Dock Permit Fees
and tabled further consideration until December llth. A copy of
Council Memorandum 79-421 and its appendages is attached.
The present ordinance calls for a $50 annual fee plus $1.50 per dock.
It does cost the City more to issue the first license at an address
or owner than succeeding permits and possibly some consideration
should be given to establishing fees on that basis.

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM NO. 79-421
SUBJECT: Commercial Dock Ordinance
Under the present Commercial Dock Ordinance, we charge ~ fee plus $1.50
per dock. (Section 41:25 City Code)
We have checked other communities and find:
Orono - A new applicant pays a $300 fee plus $2.00 per slip on land
or in the water. On renewal, the fee is $1OO plus $2.00 per
slip. There is an additional charge of $1.OO for any boat
stored on the property if the boat is used.
Greenwood - $10 fee plus .35¢ each slip on water and 25¢ each slip
on the lake.
This makes l lO slips for $48.50.
ll6 slips for $50.60.
Attached is a copy of a survey made by the L.M.C.D.
It is recommended that the rates used by Orono be followed. The action
would be to have the Attorney prepare an amendment to the Ordinance.

riding rising f,de of infects,on
By'DOUG ttOVELSON
Municipal dock users around Lake
Minnetonka will be paying more rent-
this year, in most cases. Five cities,
Wayzata, Tonka Bay, Deephaven,
Excelsior and Mound, operate
municipal docks.
Three of those cities, Wayzata,
Celsior and Mound, have passed rate
increases effective this spring.
Deephaven's rates did not rise, and
Tonka Bay is still considering
;,vhether to increase its fees.
Municipal docking privileges are
still uniformly cheaper than private
operations. But the private users
have the advantage of better secu-
rity. But not everybody can use the
municipal docks. Waiting lists are
apt to be long, sometimes extending
back several years. And the docks
are a hot commodity. Getting a slip
on a municipal dock is like getting
Viking season'tickets: l~revious hold-
ers get first shot. And they. don't give
up their space without good reason.
The following is a city by city dR
scription Of dock rates and policies.
WAYZATA'
Two weeks ago, the Wayzata City
Council approved rate changes for
'1979 and 1980. Until' this year,
Wayzata was a very good deal if you
could get your boat in a slip there. It's
still not a bad deal. But rates jumped
well over 100 per cent in both the
· inner and outer lagoon.
All told, Wayzata has between 75
and 80. The total won't be definite
until the refinishing work is com-
pleted this spring. Rates for 1979 are
described as interim; another fee
schedule will go into effect in '1980.
· For 1979, a slip will run you $150 in
the outer lagoon. Last year, it was
$50. Next year, it will be $250. There
are 45 slips there.
In the inner lagoon, a slip that cost
$30 last year will cost $120 this year.
In 1980, the fee will be $200.
The very small slips, for small fish-
ing boats and the like, will be $80 this
year, compared to $50 last year. The
cost will be the same in 1980. (All
rates are seasonal.)
City residents ge.t preference'on the
application list. People who had slips
last year get first crack. Non-
residents can apply. ~ut it's been
quite awhile since a non-Wayzatan
got a slip..
The city expects to raise about
$10,000 from the docks this year. Next
· year's increases will bring that fig-
ure to about $18,000. The money is
used to maintain the docks. The pro-
jected revenue is figured into the
bond issue just authorized by the
council for the Lake St. project. The
city needs that $18,000 each year as
p. grt of the bond sale.

· When word got out al~out the
municipal dock rate increase in
Mound this year, the telephone
started ringing at city hail. Irate citi-
zens demanded to know why the city
was doing this to them, said 'City
Manager Leonard Kopp. '
The rate went from a minimum of
$10 to a minimum of $25. The average
cost per dock will not be much higher
than $25, said Kopp. That's a lot
lower than any other city.
The increase was necessary to
cover the cost of dock inspections,
Kopp said. Up until now, the city has
been subsidizing the boat owners, he
said. And the city doesn't want to da
that. anymore.
Mound does do things differently.
Boat owners pay the fee to the city to
rent space on public lands, and then
must put up their own'docks. Because
of that investment, there isn't much
of a turnover.
The $25 is the minimun~ charge.
The city measures the width at each
dock, and charges $3.50 per foot, or
the $25, whichever is greater. Last
· year, it was $3.50.
The docks are at the Commons, and
residents living behind the park get
first priority. Other city residents fire
second in priority, and non-residents
third. Kopp said last year about 30
people didn't get permits. There are
380 permits available.
The city brought in $5,200 last year,
,and had expenses of roughly $13,000.
iTONKA BAY
In Tonka Bay. the council is still
mulIing over whether to increas~ the
municipal rates this year or not. The
going rate for the 37 docks is $150 for
the first 15 feet of boat length and $15
per foot thereafter.
City policy is to rent slips first to
those who had them last year, with
other Tonka Bay residents next in
line. After them comes ex-dock hol-
ders who don't live in Tonka Bay, and
finally, non-residents who have never
rented space before.
A waiting list is maintained, but
/here is a good turnover. Residents
have until May 1 to sign up. Last
year, 13 non-residents got dock
space.
Ti~e city uses the revenue raised to
help mainta/n the docks.
DEEPHAVEN
Deephaven raised its rates in 1978,
and so won't raise them this year.
The city has si~ kinds of. facilities,
with about 250 spaces available.
Facilities are on both Carsons and St.
Louis bays.
At the docks, a fiat '$8 per foot
length of boat is charged. The max-
imum permissible length is 24 feet.
Buoys in bqth bays are $75 per sea-
'son. Slides are $20, as are canoe
racks. ·
Shore space is available on St.
· Louis Bay, for owners to put up their
own docks. The city charges $5 per
running foot of shoreline:
#
: Patience can be a real virtue in
Deephaven. Each facility bas its Own
waiting list, and some of them are
quite long. For instance, about 20
people who signed up for dock space
in 1976, are still waiting. Once on a
'waiting list, you can stay in
chronological order~if you renew
your application every Nov. 15. Ybu
can be on every list if you like. .
The city raises about $16,500 from
its docking operations. Last year that
money was used to put in all new.
docks in Carson's Bay. The year be-
fore~ new docks were installed fin St.
Louis Bay.

$38,500 plus cleanup costs and
engineering fees. The lotal cost

· of approximately $300 over a
10-year period.

EXCELSIOR
It will cost more to use the munici-
pal docks in Excelsior this season.
Rates were recently increased by the
city council. Residential dock fees
went from $6 to $8 per linear foot of a
boat. There is a 15 foot minimum.
Non-residents pay even more.
Their rates went from $10 per foot to
$15, with the same 15 foot minimum.
Thus the 'minimum charge is $225.
Buoy renters ;rill pay $125 this
'year, up from ~;75 last year. Slide
users will pay $35, up from $20.
There are somewhere between 95
and 125 buoy spaces in Excelsior,
another 26 spaces at the wet'docks
and about 44 slide' spaces, some of
them attached to buoys.
· Last year, Excelsior brought in
$5J;78 from its docking operations.
· This year,' the figure will be much
,higher, although no one knows how
high, because of the change to charg-
ing per length of boat at the wet
docks. In the past, the footage of the
:'dock used was calculated for the fee.
The rate increases were asked for
by the Park and Recreation Dept. to
cover the costs of main. raining the

to $165 per 15-foot boat and
$ i 6.50 for each additional foot.
Tonka Bay residents are object-

councilman, smd whatever funds
they have on hand and'~vill be
collected are needed to repair
docks as they are in bad shape..
Gordon Schmidt, operator of

Re: Continental TelephOne
Dear Len:
I am enclosing herewith a copy of the Order of the Public Service
Commission severing from the rate case the question about zone
differential between urban and rural service. If you will recall,
this is necessary for the company to' expedite its request for REA
funding. It may also be 'well to summarize at least in brief for
the council, the public hearing in Mound on November 20. Essen-
tially there was little representation from the public. The Mayor,
you, Gordy Swenson, Tad Jude and I all testified against the rate
increase. It is evident that with an across the board rate increase,
Mound will pay more than the outlying exchanges where the rates are
considerably lower. Since 1975, Mound's basic rate has gone from
$8.65 to a proposed rate of $17.40, or a 102% increase.
It is also obvious that with the substantial amo~uat of work required
outstate to improve their service to outstate customers, they have
spent between 50 and 60 million dollars. To recover that huge sum
of money and to obtain a return on that investment, Mound is going
to be charged a substantial increase now and I would project, sub-
stantial increases in the future. It also is clear that if the
theory of an across the board percentage increase is adopted by the
Public Service Commission and followed in future rate cases by the
company, our rates will go up at a much faster pace than the out-
state exchanges. I used before the Public Service Commission the
following example:
LAW OFFICES
LE::FEVERE, LEFLER, PEARSON, O'BRIEN & DRAWZ
Mr. Leonard L. Kopp
Page 2
December 3, 1979
If in two years an outstate exchange paying $10 were
to incur a 20% increase, their rate would increase
from $10 to $12, a .$2 increment. Mound's rate would
increase from the proposed $17.40 to $20.88, a $3.48
increase. Assuming the same pattern was followed two
years later, the outstate exchange would be increased
20% from $12 to $14.40, or $2.40 a month, and Mound's
rate would, increase from $20.88 to $25.06, a $4.18
increase.
It is clear from this hypothetical that the outstate rates would
go up at a substantially lower rate than Mound's if the principle
is adopted of an across the board increase.
We have now been provided with approximately six books from the
Public Service Department staff and from J. W. Wilson and Associates,
Inc., the rate experts hired by the consumers. I have' not had a
chance to review those and as previously indicated, have tried to
hold down the amount of time I spend on the case. I think the
council should make some basic d. ecisions about attendance and par-
ticipation at the general hearing in St. Paul which has been set for
January 8 through January 11, 1980. If the council wants me to be
there on those four days, I would like as much advance notice as
possible so that I can arrange my calendar accordingly.

Docket No. P-407/GR-79-500
Continental Telephone Company of Minnesota, Inc. (hereinafter the
"Company") filed with Mr. George Derettch, Hearing Examiner from the State
Office of Hearing Examiners (hereinafter the "Hearing Examiner"), a Verified
Motion for an Order Concerning Rate Design on October 25, 1979 together with
supporting exhibits. On October 29,1979, the Hearing Examiner certified the
Motion to this Commission together with his recommendations. Now, after due
deliberation and upon all the files and records herein, the Commission finds
and concludes as follows:
1. On February 14, 197g this Commission in Docket No. P-407/GR-78-277
directed the Company to file tariffs which provided for a rate differential
between urban and rural service of $1.00 per month for one-party residential
service and $2,00 per month for one-party business service (hereinafter
called the "zone differentials"). On May ll, 1979 the Company filed its
Petition for a General Rate Increase in this proceeding, and the Company's
proposed rate design retained the zone differentials ordered by the Commission
on February 14.
2. On April 20, lg77 the Company filed a loan application with the
Rural Electrification Administration {"REA") for a loan of $11,O00,O00 to
finance a portion of the Company's 1978 construction program. This loan
application was designated as the "L Loan." On March 16, 1978 the Company
filed a loan application for $9,500,000 to finance a portion of the Company's
1979 construction program. This loan application was designated as the
"M Loan." If approved by the REA, it is expected that such loans would cur-
rently be made to the Company as a Rural Telephone Bank loan at an interest
cost of approximately 8 percent per annum.

for in this matter provided for zone differentials which, according to such
letter, is contrary to REA lending policies. The Company filed a revised
prospective tariff in this proceeding which eliminated the one-party zone
differentials.
5. The REA, in a letter dated June 13, lg79, to the Company, stated it
would not process the Company's L and M Loan applications until an Order was
issued by this Comission eliminating the zone differentials. The REA also
advised the Commission in a l'Qtter dated September 21, 1979 of its position
concerning such zone differentials.
6. Charles [4. Rexroat, President of the Company, has stated that the
Company's bond indenture prohibits it from incurring additional interim debt
in any substantial amount beyond tha~ currently provided for as described in
paragraph 3 above. To reduce the costs of interim debt, the Company has stated
in its motion that it must obtain approval from the REA for the L and M Loans
or obtain long term financing in the conventional securities market. Mr. Rexroat
has stated that such long term conventional financing could not be obtained
for less than 2-~ percent above the REA rate.
7. It is in the interests of the public, the Company and the telephone
users in Minnesota that REA financing be obtained as promptlY as possible to
retire the interim debt.
8. The Company's Motion requests that the issue of whether there should
be zone differentials between urban and rural service be severed from the other
issues pending in this proceeding, recognizing that the severance of this issue
will not affect in any manner the other pending issues, in order to further
the Company's efforts to obtain approval by the REA of the L Loan and M Loan
applications.

urban and rural service is severed from the other issues

within 45 days of the service date of this Order, that one-party

Commission Order on May ll, 1980 and explaining the reason for
this change. A copy of the notice shall be provided to the
Commission for their review prior to its distribution to the
~Company's customers.
The Company shall submit to the Commission on or before
June l, 1980 a cost of service study to show the cost of providing
service to urban'customers as well as rural customers. In the
study, a detailed breakdown by geographical classification
of initial investment, depreciation, operation and maintenance
expense, taxes as well as cost of capital should be demonstrated.
The relatively lower cost of money from REA loan may be recognized
as a partial reduction of cost of capital for rural service
while the possible higher cost of investment and maintenance to
provide rural service should be recognized in the study also.
5) This Order shall be effective immediately.

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM NO. 79-444
SUBJECT: Joint Agreement - Suburban Police Recruitment
For several years, Mound has participated financially and with manpower
in a project designed to produce a police recruitment examination that
could meet any challenges of discrimination.
The 'test has been completed and now a method of recruiting and examining
candidates is being pursued. It is suggested that a Joint Powers Agree-
ment be executed so the recruitment and examination can be handled on a
Metropolitan wide basis.
Attached is a copy of a question and answer sheet regarding the proposed
system, a copy of the proposed agreement and a proposed resolution.
Costs are unknown, but as close as can be determined, it is estimated that
an annual charge of $10 per sworn officer per City be charged and $600 be
charged for each opening a city has. In this manner, most of the cost
will be on use.
It is recommended that the City join the group and that a representative
and alternate be appointed to the Joint Powers Board - The City Manager
and Police Chief as alternate.

ANTICIPATED QUESTIONS REGARDING 9~R
SUBURBAN POLICE RECRUITMENT SYSTEM
What.is t~ baqk~round of the Suburban Police Recruitment
System?
Establishment of the Suburban Police Recruitment System (SPRS)
represents the culmination of a four-year cooperative effort
by fifty-five suburban municipalities, the Metropolitan Area
Management Association (MAMA) and the Metropolitan Council to
develop valid, non-discriminatory selection standards and pro-
cedures for entry-level police positions. This effort began in
1975 when representatives of MAMA and several, local Chiefs of
Police associations approached the Metropolitan Council to re-
quest their assistance in securing funding for. such a project.
A Selection Standards Committee representing each of these
groups then was formed to prepare an application for funding
and to administer the resultant research effort.
The first major Phase of the Selection Standards Project ana-
lyzed the police officer's position in depth, beginning with an
extensive collection of data on the vaious activities which an
officer performs. Based upon this analysis, the Committee se-
lected several characteristics and abilities which it felt are
essential for effective job performance and which must be test-
ed at entry rather than trained on-the-job. The second major
phase of the Selection Standards Project was the development
of test instruments and procedures to measure the selected
characteristics and abilities, and the ultimate validation of
these instruments and procedures.
The precipitating factor which most has created the need for
valid seb~ction standards and procedures probably has been the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, together with the many court deci-
sions and administrative guidelines which have enforced this
Act. Basically, these decisions and guidelines require that
the selection standards and procedures of municipalities, as
well as many other organizations, must be demonstrated to be
job-related (i.e., validated) before-they may be'u~ilized.
Rerhaps the most notable local action in this regard was the
court decision which prevented the City of St. Pau~ from hiring
police officers for over three years, until such standards and
procedures could be developed.
2. Why is a centralized recruitment and evaluation system
necessary?
One obvious advantage of a centralized recruitment and evalua-
tion system is that it will be much more efficient for appli-
cants to be processed and tested once than to be processed and
tested in eacb individual community. A centralized recruitment
334¥
and evaluation system also will bs more effi~ient for the par-
ticipating municipalities. The SPRS will ~xDo~e a communi~y
to a much larger group of applicants than would apply in any
individual community, thus giving the community a better chance
of finding just the "right" applicant. Use of the SPRS also
will drastically shorten the time required to fill a vacancy
in any community.
The principal need for a centralized recruitment and evalua-
tion system, however, relates .to th~ ~est instruments which
will be used to predict an applicant's job performance. Re-
peated taking of these tests by an applicant will influence
their validity, thus necessitating some control over the ap-
plicant population. If each community were to administer
these tests individually, soon the evaluation process for all
communities would be subject to challenge.
Why is a joi. nt .Powers. organization proposed to administer the
SPRS?
The proposal that a joint powers organization be created to
administer the SPRS reflects the Selection Standards Commit-
tee's philosophy that local communites should retain control
over the recruitment and evaluation of their employees to the
greatest extent possible. It has been estimated that each
year it will take approximately 1,200 hours of professional
and support time to administer the proposed recruitment and
evaluation system. The Committee feels it is highly unlikely
that any existing agency directly responsible to municipali-
ties is willing or able to undertake such a committment, and
it does not recommend that control of this function be trans-
ferred to a higher level of government.
4. What services will be offered to members of the SPRS?
The SPRS will act as a central "clearing house" to receive
and process applications for the participating municipali-
ties. Written examinations will be given to all applicants
to measure their numeric and creative thinking abilities and
to determine their behavioral tendencies on several specific
dimensions. A composite score based upon each of these in-
struments will become an applicant's "written score" in the
process. Applicants successfully, completing the written
examination next will take a physical agility test, which
they must pass in order to be listed on the SPRS eligibility
roster.
A community wishing to fill a vacancy through the SPRS will
receive the names and written scores of all applicants on the
eligibility roster who have indicated a desire to work for
that community. The community then may select candidates
from this list based upon its own criteria, although such
criteria obviously should be job-related, and it will receive
further information on each of these candidates. Represen%a-.
tires from the community who will be conducting its oral inter-
views also may attend a "training" session to receive informa-
tion on the'oral interview process which has been developed
to complement the written examinations.
Each community participating in the SPRS will have complete
· .control over its oral interview process and the weight which
it assigns candidates' written examination scores. Each com-
munity also will control candidates' background investigations
and their psychological and medical evaluations. However, psy-
Chological and medical evaluations will be available on an op-
tional fee basis through the SPRS, for communities wishing to
utilize either service.
Se
What fees will ~e .qha.rged by the SPRS?
The Selection Standards Committee faced a "Catch 22" situation
regarding the establishment of fees for the SPRS. Most com-
munities understandably will not consider joining the SPRS un-
til they know what type of fees are anticipated, but no fee
structure can be adopted until after the System is established·
In order to help resolve this situation the Committee has pre-
pared a budget for the SPRS for the coming year, and it has
determined a fee structure which will support this budget and
which will be recommended to the SPRS Board at its first meet-
ing.
It is the Committee's recommendation that a majority of the
cost required to support the SPRS be borne by "placement" fees,
paid by member municipalities as vacancies are filled utiliz-
ing the System. The Committee also is recommending an annual
fee for membership in the System. Following is the fee struc-
ture which has been adopted by the Committee and which will be
recommended to the SPRS Board:
A placement fee of $600 for each vacancy which is
filled utilizing the SPRS;
b. An annual fee for membership in the SPRS of $10 per
sworn police officer employed by a community.
What is the relationship between testing pr. ocedu~.r..es of the
SPRS and the POST Board?
The POST Board (Peace Officer Standards and Training Board)
has established minimum entrance standards for police offi-
cers throughout the State, and it has certified training pro-
grams for police officers in several universities, colleges
and vocational-technical schools. The POST Board' also has
established a testing process to insure a minimum level of
achievement in its certified training programs and in its
"skills" courses supplementing these programs. The testa
administered by the POST Board primarily measure acquired
knowledge, and they are not intended to predict a student's
future job performance.
The tests which will be administered by.the SPRS will measure
an applicant's numeric and creative thinking abilities, an
applicant's behavioral tendencies (i.e., personality), and an
applicant's physical agility. These tests will not be re-
Stricted to students who have completed certified training
programs, so they will measure a much larger and broader ap-
plicant population than is measured by the POST Board. The
testing procedures of the SPRS sPecifically have been design-
ed to complement and build upon, rather than duplicate, test-
ing procedures of the POST Board.

Dear Mayor VanNest:
We have had second thoughts about our continuing the sale of our
smoking accessories products.
The past few' weeks have become an education for us. We never
realized the extent of concern people had regarding the sale of
these items. It seems that more and more national exposure is
being given to this issue. From our view point, most of it is
negative.
It has become increasingly apparent to us that to do business in
the future, we cannot afford to offend anybody in the ccramunity.
We never intended to offend anyone and if we had, we are sorry.
We hope that the thousands of loyal customers we've built up over
the years will not be disturbed by our action. We still give our
support to individual free choice and non-governmental interference.
We hope that people will not interpret our move to eliminate these
products as an an~'er to the drug abuse problem in our con~nunity.
However, if this action will prevent only one young person from
abusing drugs, our efforts will have been worth it.
We will be removing our inventory of smoking pipes and other
accessories by no later than February 1, 1980. We make this decision
based on our concern regardless of the outcome of the courts decision
as to the legality of these products.
We will be replacing these items with products we hope will appeal
to a broad cross section of the entire carm~mity.
-2-
Third Stone Music will once again become your headquarters for
guitars and other musical accessories. We also will be stocking
stereo systems~ car stereo systems~ and other electronics.
We hope this move will be viewed with approval and enthusiasm by
the entire conmunity.
