It also eliminates any past Fund deficits and puts it on at lease an even keel to be in a position to absorb Metro Waste Control Commission's 1983 rate increases projected to be about 25%. JE:fc RATES, Because the City's Sewer Fund has been short for some time and because sewer rates are determined by charges levied by the Metropolltan Waste Control Comm;sslon, sewer rates had to be Increased effectlve January !, 1982. RESIDENTIAL: - Quarterly Sewer Charge For 10,000 gallons or less AI1 over 10,000 gallons, per 1,000 gallons Minimum Quarterly Bill Note: Quarterly Charg.e $18.00.iminimum $ 1.20 $18.00 / The above minimum applies to each single family dwelling or apartment which is in accordance with existing Sewer Department policy. Under this policy, for example, a duplex would have a minimum quarterly charge of $33.00.

Two-Family Usage and Multiple Owelling Usage - Is computed on the same basis as a singl'e dwelling, except that the total quarterly charge on all such properties shall not be less than the number of units multiplied by the $6.00.per month, minimum charge per unit. Water used but not placed into the san!tary sewer may be deducted providing it is metered. Dwellings Connected to Sewer but not Connected to Municlpa]'Water - :; ~ * Shall pay a quarterly rate of $25.00. If such users wish to pay sewer rates based on gallons of water used, they can purchase a water meter from the City and have their own plumber install the meter on their well. For information call: 472-1251. Commercial and Industrial - The quarterly sewer rate is based on- the actual amount of water used each month on the'same cost scale as residential (see above). Water used but not placed into the sanitary sewer may be deducted providing it is metered.

CITY of MOUND NIAYV,'C OLd, r, OAD MINNESOTA 5536~ I1~12} 472-1155 December 14, 1981 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL JON ELAM, CITY MANAGER LELS LABOR CONTRACT FOR 1982 Attached is the Labor Contract that is the product of Bruce's and my negotiations with the Police Supervisors and their representative in two separate negotiating sessions. ~: My honest evaluation of our efforts ~isn't so much how much either side won or lost as it is in how we tightened up a number of areas that had, in the past, given the City problemsl while of course achieving the 1982 salary freeze the Union agreed to as a part of the grievance settlements. J Every section of the grievance settlement from September has been integrated into the 1982 Contract. Although it's not perfect, I think we are slowly tightening up the system, which over time should result in a better position for the City. Thus, I recommend Council approval.

Mr. John Elam Page Three November 12, 1981 My particular philosophy in handling the prosecu- tions is to minimize the expense to the cities as much as possible. This includes handling as many matters as possible over the phone rather than in person at the court and the negotiation of pleas rather than forcing cases to trial. However, there are guidelines which I follow in the negotiation 6f a plea, and if the defendant refuses to be reasonable, I will take the matter to trial. I believe that people must be held accountable for their actions, and that the city has a responsibility to see that this is done. Additionally, I often consult with the officers as to the disposition of particular matters and seek to support them in the handling of those cases, but in the final analysis, it is my duty to dispose of the cases in the best interests of the city, taking into consideration the judge assigned, his/her opinion regarding the case, and the legal and factual strength of the case. By handling Orono, Minnetrista, and St. Bonifacius simultaneously, we have been able to achieve some economies of scale. For example, the Wayzata court schedules the cases of those three cities on the same day so that I can handle them all at the same time. Thus, the time expended in court can be divided proportionately between the cities. Often, the prosecutor is required to remain at the court for the entry of pleas and sentencing, and during this time other matters can be handled and the time divided between the three cities. If our office also acquired the responsibility for the City of Mound, such economies of scale would benefit your city as well. Additionally, information and procedures developed for one city may be passed on to the other cities at a nominal cost. For example, I was recently requested by the St. Bonifacius/ Minnetrista Police Commission to formulate suggested ordinances for certain violations. In the process, I realized that the City of Orono did not have one of the ordinances suggested and that the language of another could be improved.- Similarly, the information learned at a speeding trial for the City of St. Bonifacius was passed on to the City of Orono as suggestions for improved procedures. The services to be provided as the prosecuting attorney include the following: POPHAM, HAIK, $CHNOBRICH, I'~AUFMAN & DOTY, LTD. Mr. John Elam Page Four November 12, 1981 Representation and handling of all court appearances; Preparation of updates for the officers as new case law and statutory law develop; Occasional appearances at department meetings for training and information items, at the request of the Chief of Police; e Advice to on-duty officers (including permission to call me or other back-up attorneys at home) regarding the handling of cases; Be Preparation of disposition summaries of each case for the City Manager, Chief of Police, and arresting officer (for the dual purposes of information and accountability); and Advice on other matters relating to police department operation, at the request of the Chief of Police. You have expressed some concern over the fact that our office is located in downtown Minneapolis. Our location has never really been a problem for the other cities since I am out at the Wayzata court at least once a week. Additionally, other members of my firm are in Orono or Minnetrista at least once a week, and communications are easily conducted back and forth. Moreover, there is no charge for any transportation time from my office to and from the court. If desired, we could establish a specific day and time each week to be present at the city offices for consultation. We currently do this for the City of St. Louis Park, where we have an attorney present every Wednesday afternoon to meet with staff, review contracts, and answer questions generally. I would like to emphasize that if the City of Mound were to retain me as its prosecuting attorney, it would be retaining my entire law firm as well. I would be the Iead prosecutor, but would anticipate assistance from others in this office under my direction as needed. Additionally, the City would have access to other attorneys in our office who /5-5"00 POPHAM, HAIK, $CHNOBRICH, KAUFMAN & DOTY, LTD. Mr. John Elam Page Five November 12, 1981 have had substantial experience with police departments and police issues. Fritz Brown was the prosecutor for Orono for six years prior to my providing that service and also a special prosecutor for the City of Minneapolis. Janie Mayeron was the prosecutor for Golden Valley for three years prior to joining our firm. Our office represents the Forum Insurance Company which insures numerous municipalities and other govern- mental agencies, and in that capacity, we have handled several cases involving civil liability of police officers. We have also handled such matters for the Minneapolis Park Board Police in our capacity as their attorneys and have conducted training sessions for their park agents. We represent the City of St. Louis Park in all civil ma~ters affecting the police department, and act as that city's special prosecutor. We also represent the Hennepin County Chiefs of Police Association. The City of Mound would have the opportunity to draw upon this varied experience of the firm if it chose to do so, and we would work with the City's civil attorney to be sure that any work we undertook was consistent with his approach. I hope that the above information responds adequately to your request regarding misdemeanor prosecutions by our office. I appreciate very much your expression of interest in utilizing the services of our office and would appreciate the opportunity to work closely with the City of Mound in providing effective and efficient law enforcement services to the citizens of your City. If you have any questions regarding the foregoing or wish to speak with me further on this matter, I would be happy to meet with you personally. Moreover, please feel free to contact any of the cities we represent and their Chiefs of Police regarding our work for them. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, _ Desyl L.

Kopp, Manager City of Mound 5341 Maywood Road Mound, MN 55364 Dear Mr. Kopp: A new Hennepin County Municipal Court Special Rule of Procedure will be effective Feburuary 1, 1982. This rule requires that all communities have a prosecutor present at any regularly scheduled arraignment of a defendant charged by an individual community, The necessity of this Rule is created by a growing case volume and backlog throughout the courts. Accommodating the increased case volume and reducing the backlog must be accomplished with the present number of judges. Realistically the prospect of the legislature having the funding available to authorize additional judges is not encouraging. This is in spite of the fact that during the past year the Office of the State Court Administrator conducted an extensive state wide caseload study of each individual judicial district to identify districts with the proper number of judges to process the existing caseloads and those that were over or understaffed. The study identified a need for six additional judges in Hennepin County which comprises the Fourth 3udicial District. In a effort to identify techniques that might be available to streamline the process within the courts I have held numerous meetings with the Bench and staff members. When discussing the suburban courts, one concern that was repeatedly mentioned is the inability to dispose of a case at the arraignment because the prosecutor is not present to discuss the issues or circumstances with counsel for the defendant. The result is a continuance or a not guilty plea by the defendant. Subsequent court dates for continued arraignments or pre-trial hearings are necessary and the case goes further into the process. It is felt that many of these reappearances would not be necessary if prosecutors were present at the initial arraignment. Reducing these reappearances would not only save court time by reducing the number of subsequent hearings on a particular case but would be a service to the defendant who may be appearing on a minor traffic violation. Many of our citizens become disenchanted by government and the judicial system when they must make another appearance because all the necessary parties to a case are not present. Some individuals will lose two or three half days from work because the prosecutor is not present. With the prosecutor present at the initial arraignment, the community also benefits because they will not have to compensate the prosecutor for subsequent appearances. Page 2 The requirement that prosecutors be present at all arraignments will not impact those communities that currently provide a prosecutor at arraignment. For communities not presently providing a prosecutor at arraignment the Rule may result in a request from them for additional compensation. It is believed that this added cost should be offset by the need for fewer subsequent appearances. With the prosecutor present at the arraignment many dispositions are anticipated and the subsequent pre-trial or trial appearance will be avoided. Many other techniques have been proposed to accommodate the increased volume and growing backlog. Some have already been implemented while others continue to be studied and evaluated in an effort to streamline the courts and to maintain the best possible court system for the citizens of Hennepin County. Should you have any questions or suggestions please contact Rita Stellick, Municipal Court Manager at 3~g-2263. Yours truly, Harold Kalina Chief 3udge HK:Ijt CITY of MOUND 5341 MAYWCOD ROAD MOUND, MINNESOTA 55364 f612) 472-1155 December 14, 1981 TO: FROM: CITY COUNCIL JON ELAM, CITY MANAGER Enclosed is the proposed list of Building, Planning and Zoning Fees for 1982 and hopefully beyond.

Building, Heating, Air Conditioning, Refrigeration: .0005 time the valuation of construction costs, with a minimum of 50¢ for each permit. Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Suppression Systems, and ElectricHeating Permits: .0005 of the permit fee with a minimum of 50¢ for each permit. (On any permit where the fee is $1,0OO. or less the surcharge is a flat 50¢. On any permit where the fee is over $1,OOO., the surcharge is .0005 times the permit fee.) SEWER AVAILABILITY (SAC) CHARGE In accordance with regulations of the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission and the City of Mound, the City of Mound is required to impose and collect a Sewer Availability (SAC) Charge on building permits issued for each building or structure to be constructed or connected to the Metropolitan Disposal System. The charge of each building/structure shall be equal to the number of units of sewage volume which it will discharge, multiplied by the yearly set rate, which is $425. for 1980. The number of units which are connected, or for which a building permit is issued shall be computed as follows: a. Single family houses~ townhouses, and duplex units shall each comprise one unit; b. Apartments shall each comprise 80% of a unit; c. Other buildings and structures shall be assigned one unit for each 274 gallons of daily flow which it is estimated they will discharge, and commercial and industrial building units shall be assigned a minimum of one unit; d. Public housing units and housing units subsidized under any federal program for low-and-moderate-income housing shall be counted as 75% of a unit equivalent for that type of housing; The Commission will review the assignment of units under items (a), (b), (c), and (d) and may find it necessary to make revisions as new forms of housing are provided. The Commission will prescribe more detail rules. Credit may also be given agains this charge for any demolition credit units at the same location. Demolition credit, if any, remains with the property destroyed and is not transferable by the owner to other locations within the City. In no case shall the credit to be received exceed the charges imposed on any permit. PLAN CHECKING FEES. When the valuation of the proposed construction exceeds one thousand dollars (Sl,O00.O0) and a plan is required to be ~ubmJtted, a plan checking fee shall be paid. Said plan-checking fees shall be fifty percent (50%) of the building permit fees. Where plans are incomplete, or changes so as to require additional plan checking, an additional plan-check fee shall be charged at a rate establlshed by the Mound City Council, WATER CONNETION FEE. Water availability fee shall be S125.00, plus $75.00 for for meter purchase including the outside reader, for a total of S200.00. SEWER CONNECTION FEE. Sewer availability fee shall be $125.00 for use of the sewer lines. EXCAVATION FEE. Basic fee shall be $5.00 to keep track of when people dig or excavate basements on property. MOVING PERMITS.

Thus reducing the staff of the departmen~ ~rom eight employees to five. The Council then approved my recommendation to appoint Judith Fisher, the Accounts Payable Clerk as the Acting Clerk-Treasurer. Betty Wang was an Account Clerk in the Finance Dept. for the past two years and as the highest paid person l'n the unit, I had high hopes that she might carry the department as far as budget analysis and financial reporting, especially during these crucial financial times. In October it became clear, with the announcement of the State deficits and the probability that they will reduce our 1982 State Aid anywhere from $20,000. to $40,000., that Betty could not handle the job effectively and that I would have to lay her off instead of turning to either the Police or Public Works Dept., my only two other choices. This further reduced the Finance Dept. to four employees and forced me into doing something if I was to bo in a position to effectively be able to manage the City's finances! in 1982. '~ ~i~. ;:~ ~ ,,~ Taking th~ Council's approval of the:~Fi~ance Directors position in the 1982 Budget, I set about soliciting applications, I advertised two weeks (Sunday only) in the Minneapolis Tribune, in the ICMA Newsletter and in the League of Minnesota Cities Magazine. From this effort, I received about 20 applications, most of which didn't meet the minimum qualifications (see attached job description). Five people did meet those qualifications of having previous City financial, ,... experience and the required edOcational background. Following the plan for all previous job openings, I formed a screening Committee to help me on this crtitically important selection. On that committee was: Pinky Charon Bonnie Carlson Judy Fisher Sharon Legg Jon Elam - City Councilmember - Finance Director, City of Chaska - Finance Dept., City of Mound - George M. Hansen & Co. - City Auditor - City Manager Page 2 Memo to City Council December 15, 1981 After 30 to 45 minute interviews with each candidate it became clear that a consensus was not there and in fact, I didn't feel comfortable with any of the candidates. The one thing that came out of that experience though, was that Mound's City Auditor for the past two years not only has a keen sense of what Mound needs as it relates to financial management, but was interested in getting out of city to city audit work and settle into one city. It's important, I think, to realize we are not playing musical chairs with the old city clerk-treasurer position. Let me explain why. First, Sharon Legg would be filling a totally new type of position. A position that combines the financial record keeping of two positions at a cost savings to the City in 1982 of $20,000. including fringe benefits. Second, Sharon would be a financial officer only, not the clerk-treasurer. This latter position, I would like to permanently split and make Judy Fisher the permanent Treasurer~and Fran Clark the permanent City Clerk since she covers all meetings, etc. The persons signing City checks would be the Mayor, Sharon Legg and myself. Other duties previously handled by the former clerk-treasurer have all been absorbed by the existing staff, il.e. Election - Fran Clark and Dee Schwalbe; Purchasing - Fran Clark. What I hope that Sharon will do will not only help the four staff people in the Finance Dept. do their jobs better and more efficiently, but serve as the City's representative to Logis and help us better use our $23,000. computor system. Enclosed, for instance, is a copy of the recent analysis Sharon did after only a brief audit on the Water and sewer billings. I think we are very fortunate to have Sharon with us. She will especially be a great deal of help, I think, to all of the department heads who are anxious to learn how to better balance their 1982 Budgets. I am sorry that I didn't cover all of this with the Council prior to now.

The MUTCD, which ! published by the Federal Highway Ach dnistration as the "national standard fc all highways open to public travel," is a cooperative effort of most of the organ 'ations having any direct highway involv, nent. The MUTCD includes ight different warrants for traffic signah Warrant 1: Minimum traj volume. For any eight hours of an ay tge weekday, the major street of the ir rsection must have a minimum traffic flume of 500 vehicles per hour in bot'~ ~rections (600 vehicles per hour if it h two o~ more travel lanes in each dire ion), and the minor street must have '. } vehicles per hour (200 if it has two or ~ re travel lanes in each direction). If traff speeds exceed 40 miles per hour or the i ersection is in an isolated community, he minimum traffic volumes are 70 per~ ,~nt of these. Warrant 2: Interruption ~f continuous traffic. If traffic volumes ox ~ major street are high enough that traffi on the minor street suffers excessive de iys or hazard in entering or crossing th ' main street, different traffic volumes ban those in Warrant 1 are used. Warrant 3: Minimum pede ian volume. Warrant 4: School crossin Warrant 5: Progressive ~ ement.

One eonsul~tant who studied this question concluded that !ls scheduled for removal should be n place for a period of 24 months accident experience is monitored. During at least part of this interval, the signal should be left in a flashing mode. Placing signals in a flashing mode is a popular method of interim control.' By comparison, only a few cities bagged the heads of signals scheduled for removal. Where a conventional two-way stop .4xm- trol was installed to replace the sil~aal, the head was set to flash red in thd di- rection of traffic to be stopped, and low in the through-traffic smaller percentage by four-way stop signs. In these case signals are set to flash Almost all jurisdictions leave si a flashing mode for at least 30 to removal. Some continue this for three months; others, for six One city, during the interim period tween deactivation and actual allows the signal to operate ally during peak traffic hours flashing mode during off-peak houri Two other timing considerations faced during the study of cities that removed signals. One was a number of practicing municipal engineers: "Never bring a eln Sal before elected officials ction campaign." oving a traffic signal is a visible reduction of a city service, that often raises emotional To minimize the possibility of an rassing reversal, it is only logical to ule it for a time when political leaders not already under citizen pressure. The second timing consideration plies only to snowbelt cities. There, preferable to avoid signal removals ing the winter months..The normal ards of wintertime driving, coupled the possibility that snowbanks pushed up near intersections to sight distances, increase accident bilities. It is better to allow a continue functio~ning until spring allow its removal to be an accident that was winter-related. :~ Accidents are, .of course, one of primary concerns when signal contemPlated.
