February 25, 1982 TO: FROM: CITY COUNCIL JON ELAM, CITY MANAGER At our February 2nd Meeting we asked the City Engineer, in conjunction with Hennepin County, to develop a short study of County Road 125. This study was to evaluate its present condition and what needs to be done on the roadway to bring it up to City requirements, prior to the City taking it over. A second critical part of this proposal was a study of the roads presently in the City's State Aid System and to identify those which might be deleted, with the footage being transferred over to cover 125. If this could be done, we could then use our future State Aid Road Funds to install the necessary curb and gutter and storm sewer on 125 and reduce City costs. Working together with Hennepin County, the State and the City, we could have a completely finished and improved roadway sooner than if it remained in the County road system and had to compete for funding with all the other County roads in Hennepin County. Attached is the report developed by John Cameron. JE:fc COMBS-KNUTSON ASSOCIATES, INC. CONSULTING ENGINEERS · LAND SURVEYORS l$ PLANNERS February 25, 1982 Reply To: 12800 Industrial Park Boulevard Plymouth, Minnesota 55441 (612) 559-3700 Hr. Son Elam City Manager City of Mound 5341Maywood Road Hound, MN 55364 Subject: Mound, Minnesota CSAH No. 125 Turnback File #6389 Dear Jon: As requested by the City Council we have done more research on the impact of the City accepting CSAH 125 from Hennepin County. The first item that should be addressed is placing this section of road on the City's State Aid system. In order to do this some other streets would have to be removed from the State Aid system which have not been improved using State Aid funds. The reason being that only 20% of the total municipal mileage can be designated as such and the City is virtuallly at that maximum now. Also, if a street is removed from the system that has already been approved by State funds, the City would have to reimburse the State. We would propose removing the following streets in exchange for the section of CSAH 125 from the Black Lake Bridge to Bartlett Boulevard which is approximately 1.5 miles. Grandview Boulevard (County Road il0 to County Road 15) 0.57 miles Lynwood Boulevard & Fairview Lane (8elmont Lane to County Road 15) 0.51 miles Bradford Lane and Leslie Road (Wilshire Boulevard to Brighton Boulevard) 0.41 miles Total ....................................................... 1.49 miles These streets were all improved with concrete curb and gutter and bituminous paving as part of the 1980 Street Improvements. The other section of CSAH 125 from Wilshire to County Road llO which is approximately 0.70 miles in length, could be exchanged for either Brighton Boulevard, from Wilshire to Tuxedo or Bartlett Boulevard from County Road 15 to Wilshire. We would recommend removing Bartlett Boulevard from the State Aid System for following reasons. When Bartlett was improved as part of the 1980 Minneapolis - Hutchinson - Alexandria -Eagan printed on recycled paper Mr. Oon Elam February 25, 1982 Rage Two Project it was constructed at a 32 feet width, whereas Brighton is only 28 feet wide. Brighton Boulevard also serves as more of a connector between Wilshire Boulevard and Tuxedo Boulevard and some time in the future should be widened and upgraded to give better sight distances and permit safer travel. In doing a cost analyses it appears that by placing CSAH 125 on the State Aid system and removing the streets recommended, the City could increase their yearly construction allotment by approximately $25,000. The County has evidently agreed to a bituminous overlay of CSAH 125 along with replacement of the Black Lake Bridge before turnback to the City. This overlay would cover the entire length except for the section between Cardiff Lane and Claire Lane which was upgraded in 1978 and at the two bridges which were reconstructed. These are the only sections of CSAH 125 that have any concrete curb and gutter at the present time. With just a bituminous overlay the present failure and roughness of the street will be corrected. However, without removal of some subgrade deficiencies, we would anticipate that this street would continue to experience some future surface cracking and settling. County Road 125 has not been resurfaced for several years and is not requiring extensive maintenance yet. Therefore, the overlay will improve this condition and the street should not become an expensive annual cost. We will be pleased to discuss this at your convenience.

S341 }4aywood Road '~ ~,~" Re: CS~ 125, m 7586 ~ '~ Bridge over Black Lake/Spring Park ~el Dear Jo~: In 1977, the County Board adopted a long-range plan for Hennepin County roads and streets. This plan was prepared after many meetings and hearings, and after input was received from other agencies. This plan concluded that in the Cities of Mound and Spring Park CSAH 125 functions as a collector road and recommended municipal jurisdiction. The Clty of Mound has, by resolution, requested that Hermepin County reconstruct CSAH 125 including curb and gutter, storm sewer, and replacement of the Lost Lake Channel, Cooks Bay Channel, and Black Lake/Spring Park Channel bridges before the City would accept jurisdiction. Ail correspondence from our department, however, has stated that replacement of the three bridges and a bituminous overlay of CSAH 125 is the only construction that would be necessary by Hennepin County before turnback. Two new bridge programs, the Minnesota Transportation Fund (Bridge Bonds) and the Federal Bridge Rehabilitation and Replacement Program (FBR&R), enabled Hennepin County to begin the reconstruction effort for eventual turnback of CSAH 125 by replacing the Lost Lake Channel and Cooks Bay Channel bridges. Recent plans for replacement of the Black Lake/Spring Park Channel bridge have been stopped because of low priority of this bridge compared to other state-~J.de br~.dges submitted for funding. The Black Lake/Spring Park Channel bridge is No. 150 of 166 present submittals. This means that no Bridge Bond or FBR&R funds will be available for the reconstruction of this bridge. The Hennepin County Department of Transportation proposes that our department replace the BlaCk Lake/Spring Park Channel bridge using($~from the Hennepin County State Aid Fund. In order for our department to recommend this to the County Board, it would be necessary for the City Council of Mound to agree to accept jurisdiction of CS3I] 125 from the City East Limits to CSAH 110 upon completion of the bridge construction. If you feel I should appear before the City Council and explain this proposal, or if you need any additional information for them, please call. .~~~Yam~ truly your s/~ _ s M. Wold, P.E. Chief, Planning & Progran~ing HENNEPIN COUNTY an equal oppodunity employer February 25, 1982 TO: CITY COUNCIL FROM: JON ELAM, CITY MANAGER The purpose of tonights public hearing is to solicit ideas for how to spend next years (Oct. 82/0ct. 83) Community Development Block Grant. A copy of the hearing notice that was in The Laker is attached and lays out the program objectives the County Plan has proposed. If we don't receive any additional ideas this evening, I would propose to implement the program laid out at the February 2nd Meeting. These were: 1. $5,000. for a downtown design consultant that could provide professional technical assistance to the downtown business community. This would compliment their study. The money would be spent on a 50-50 basis - grant and individual contribution. 2. $40,000. as an interest subsidy reduction for downtown business rehabilitation loans. 3. $30,000. for continuing the city housing rehabilitation program. This will cover 4-5 additional houses. 4.$10,000. for special assessment grants for low-income persons (County Road 110 Project and Street Light Project) and 5. $4,O00. for administration (to cover administrative costs) The total amount is $89,000., the estimated funds we will receive. I will explain each item in greater detail at the hearing, if necessary.

SUBJECT' January 19, 1982 Participating Urban Hennepin County Communi ties Hennepi n' County Offi ce of P1 anni ng.,~. and Development ~' "~~~o~ YEAR VIII Urban Hennepin County Con~nunity Development Program/Development Process The December 2, 1981 memo, "Urban Hennepin County Year VIII Certification Statement Development Schedule," indicated that new CD program regulations reflecting 1981 legislative changes should be available in February and that planning should proceed on the basis of a 10% reduction in funding from 1981. It now appears that the regs for the Year VIII program will not be available before late March and that recent federal budget allocations make it advisable to plan on a 15% reduction in CD funding for 1982. Due to the delay in issuance of the new regulations, participant con~nunities are advised to initiate their CD program development process using the current draft Statement of Objectives (dated 12/23/81) as a guide until the final Statement is issued in February. The accompanying eligible activities para- graph from the 1981 Amendments to the Housing and Community Development Act should be sufficient for project identification. Participant communities interested in activities for which an eligibility determination cannot currently be made, may set aside funding in a contingency account for program development purposes. As part of the program development process each ~participant con~nunit¥ is re- quired to hold one public hearing to obtain local, views on community develop- ment'ano housing needs a_nd on the proposed Year VIII Co_~nunit~ Developme. nt rop~ Hennepin C6-unty staff is developing a public format to be available by February 1. The hearings can therefore begin by mid-February and hopefully be c~mpleted by mid-March in order to meet the program statement schedule. As presented in the schedule accompanying the December 2 memo, Hennepin County staff will, prior to mid-February, be scheduling meetings of the Planning Area Citizens Advisory Committees to initiate their participation in the Year VIII program development process. The CDBG program representatives are in the process of scheduling monitoring visits to each participant community to review the status of projects from previous years, with particular interest in Year IV and V, and to discuss in greater detail the information set forth in this memo. A separate memo pro- viding more information on the monitoring process will be issued soon. 1W 'COMMU1NVlTY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANTS 09:0507 HDR.

N'INNESCTA 5f7,~ (612, 472-115{~ TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: Jon Elam, City Manager Jan Bertrand, Building Official Arcade License and Structure at 5571 Auditor's Road March 2, 1982 I am attaching a copy of my letter to you dated January 8, 1982 in which I stated my conversation with Mr. Tom Watson of the Arcade, regarding plans to improve the building which he is presently renting. Since that time, I have had an opportunity to inspect the portion of the building occupied by Mr. Tom Rockvam. Mr. Rockvam's operation is a dock building and sales office. I was told he only had a sales office at that location. He does use the overhead garage to bring in vehicles; he does welding and sawing of lumber. I must classify the use of his portion of the building as H-3 occupancy use. The resolution passed by the Council on January 12, 1982, "Item 2a" requires "A one hour rated door, self-closing device, proper hardware and rated frame be installed in the common wall". The only common wall found during my in- spection was a north/south wall separating the auto body shop next door from the steel building owned by Mr. Nolan. Therefore, an occupancy separation is needed between Mr. Rockvam (H-3) and Mr. Watson (B-2) of an one-hour fire rating. I have explained to both Mr. Watson and Mr. Nolan's representative, Mr. Larry Weber, the proper method of construction of the wall. I have made an inspection of the property yesterday. Item 2a - nothing has been done. Item 2b -"Fire extinguishers shall be placed in each rental area". Mr. Rockvam has an old extinguisher with the pin pulled in a non-operable con- dition and Mr. Watson has an extinguisher of a 5B:C 1 size. Both extinguishers are not wall mounted and should be an ABC # 2A size or as the Fire Inspector shall specify. The former Laker Office is vacant at the present time with no fire extinguisher available. Item 2c -"Two useable exits to be provided for each rental area". The rear door from the Arcade has been unbarred and machines moved away, but the door swing is to the inside; it should swing out in the direction of travel (over 10 occupants) and the outer side has pipes, ladder, and a pipe rack obstructing the door, also there is wiring strung under the door on the inside. Item 2d -"A one-hour fire rated separation be maintained between the boiler/heating/cooling equipment and the exit way in the upstairs with make-up outside air provided to the heating equipment". The doors to each side were locked, one gives access to the cooling equipment. The boiler room has no doors, the frames and hinges are not proper for a one Memorandum to: Jon Elam, City Manager Subject: Arcade License and Structure at 5571 Auditor's Road March 2, 1982 - Page 2 hour separation; combustible storage is not allowed in the boiler area and must be removed. Item 2e -"Insure each rental area shall have accessibility to rest room facilities". At the present time, the building has one men's and one women's rest room. Item 2f -"The walls between rental areas be finished with a minimum of 1/2 inch sheetrock and the installing of sound proofing, such as sound board, insulation batts or equivalent" Nothing has been done with the proper construction of the wall as stated in my explanation of Item 2a. Items 2g & h -"The building must meet energy code requirements for walls and ceilings and the heating zoned for reach rental area. Heat loss and energy calculations will be submitted at the time of completion." / "A sur- vey of the property showing adjoining structures will be required at the time it is remodeled and a building permit granted". Items 2g and h of the resolution pose a problem to the present building owner. Mr. Larry Weber feels it is not Mr. Nolan's responsibility to meet these re- quirements as his tenant has not yet purchased the building from him as. of February 1, 1982. I have not been contacted by Mr. Watson or Mr. Weber in the last few weeks. No building permit has been applied for or issued. Jan Bertrand Building Official JB/ms 22/82 February 25, 1982 TO: CITY COUNCIL FROM: dON ELAM, CITY MANAGER Mr. Tom Watson, back in the Summer of 1981, approached the city about developing an arcade in Mound. Initially the location was on Commerce Blvd. but in the Fall he moved the proposed location to Bud Nolan's Building on Auditor's Road. The application for the Special Use Permit was considered at the October 13, 1981 Meeting, with just three members of the Council present. This application was approved on a 2-1 vote for a 60 day period, which started once Watson opened up the business. This occured on October 23, 1981. During the first 60 days, the City Council did not lay out any requirements regarding the building itself. The discussion centered almost entirely on the location of the Arcade, with a good deal of negative criticism from area residents and businessmen. The requirements, spelled out in the initial Special Use Permit, are attached on page 413. Because we were in the midst of a staff change and we didn't know who our building inspector was going to be, we didn't get into specific building questions. An additional factor also could be that the two Councilmembers most concerned with building factors didn't attend the October 13th Meeting. Time passed and although I received very minor complaints, i.e. 1o On one occasion the Arcade opening hours were violated. 2. Some vandalism was reported on the property next door. 3. An occasional report of kids hanging around the Arcade before it opened or after it closed, etc. Beyond these, no complaints were received about the Arcade by the Police Dept. In fact, individual officers often visited the Arcade and reported a very good environment, with tough rules and standards. After the 60 days, the Special Use Permit came up for it's annual renewal. By then things had stabilized and at the urging of the Council a building inspection was done on the Arcade. From that building inspection, the Building Inspector and Mr. Watson began a series of discussions-about what needed to be done to bring the building up to code, once it was remodeled or changed. A problem through all this is that Mr. Watson says he has an option to buy the building, but has yet to actually purchase the building. Thus the city is caught trying to force certain building standards on Mr. Watson which seem more the responsibility of the building's owner, Mr. Nolan. Page 2 The Arcade February 25, 1982 Jan' has spent tim~ with Mr. Nolan's builder, Mr. Weber and he has said that they won't undertake or pay for items that are beyond the requirements of the building code, i.e. "The walls between rental areas be finished with a minimum of ½ inch sheetrock and the installing of sound proofing material, such as sound board, insulation harts or equivalent." Thus, in a nut-shell, we have reached an impasse. I have asked Jan to inspect the building on Monday, March 1st to review each item of the Council's January 12, 1982 Resolution #82-16 and give you a detailed status report at the meeting. I have invited Mr. Watson to explain his reasons for probabl~ not complying with the resolution. From that discussion I assume the Council will be able to make a decision. I hope this short historical summary accurately reflects the situation up to this point. JE:fc f January 12, 1982 Councilmember Ulrlck moved the following resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 82-16 RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR THE ARCADE (TOM WATSON) WITH STIPULATIONS WHEREAS, WHEREAS, WHEREAS, a Special Use Permit was granted to Tom Watson to operate an Arcade, and at the t~me said Special Use Permit was granted a list of conditions were imposed including a provision that the License be granted for only 60 days, and the sixty days has passed and it appears that the operation of the Arcade is serving a community prupose by providing a healthful activity for the youth of the community. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOUND, MINNESOTA: 1.The Special Use Permit granted on October 13, 1981, is hereby extended for one year to January 1, 1983. 2. This permit is granted upon the condition that all provisions contained in the original approval and in · Chapter 36 of the City Code relating to Arcade Licenses and the following required modifications to the building: a. A one hour rated door, self-closing device, proper hardware and rated frame be installed in the common wall. b. Fire extinguishers shall be placed in each rental area. c. Two useable exits to be provided for each rental area. d. A one hour fire rated separation be maintained between the boiler/heating/cooling equipment and the exit way in the upstairs with make-up outside air provided to the heating equipment. e. Insure each rental area shall have accessibility to rest room facilities. f. The walls between rental areas be finished with a minimum of ½ inch sheetrock and the installing of sound proofing material, such as sound board, insulation harts or equivalent. g. The building must meet energy code requirements for walls and ceilings and the heating zoned for each renatl area. Heat loss and energy calculations will be submitted at the time of completion. h. A survey of the property showing adjoining structures will be required at the time it is remodeled and a building permit granted. 3. The City Manager is to report to the City Council on February 1, 1982, as to the compliance with these conditions. If all provisions and conditions are not completed by February 1, 1982, this Council will immediately commence proceedings to revoke the licenses and Special Use Permit. Councilmember Swenson moved the following amendment to the resolution. January 12, 1982 That the date of compliance in item #3 be changed from February 1982,. to March l, 1982, The City Manager to report on March 2, on compliance. A motion ~dr the adoption o~ the foregoing amendment to the resolution was duly seconded by Mayor [Indian and upon vote being taken thereon; the following voted in favor thereof: Charon, Swenson and lindlan~ the following voted against the same: Polston and Ulrick; whereupon said amendment to the resolution was declared passed and adopted, signed by the Mayor and his signature attested by the City Clerk.

Today I checked the building at 3:00 p.m. to find the upstairs of the Laker area having improper door frames being in- stalled at the boiler/heating/cooling equipment area; combustible storage is not allowed in the boiler area and must be removed. Fire extinguishers have not been provided to the tenants. The exit at the rear of the Arcade remains barred; it has not been made available to the occupants. The wall between Mr. Rockvamls boat sales and dock building operation and Mr. Watson's arcade has not been completed. I talked to Mr. Watson and to Mr. Weber, the owner's contractor, re- garding the proper method of construction of the wall. No building permit has been issued. The Laker Office is partially vacant, the upstairs office portions were locked. Items gand h of the resolution pose a problem to the present owner. Mr. Weber feels it is not Mr. Nolan's responsibility to meet these requirements as his tenant has not yet purchased the building. I have not been contacted by Mr. Watson or Mr. Weber in the last couple of weeks. Bertrand - Building Official JB/ms 20/82 PUBLIC HEARING - YOUTH CENTER/ARCADE - CONTINUATION October 13, 198l Acting Mayor Polston opened-the Public Hearing and asked for any co~ents or objections from the citizens present. Mrs. Paul Saba - Their land and the ~arking lot will be hard to diFFerentiate between the two and they would like a privacy fence put up. Acting Mayor Polston asked Mr. Watson.if he wanted the Council to vote on the youth center/arcade tonight because the full Council was not there. Councilmember Swenson said that he had spoken wlth Spring Park and they originally granted a. license for their arcade for 30 days, then another 30 days, then 60 days and then granted the 1 year license. They did this' so they could monitor any problems. There have been no problems. Councilmember Charon asked Mr.'Watson if he could assure bike racks and handicap parking spaces in front of the arcade and not on Audltor~s Road. His reply was yes. Acting Mayor Polston read the proposed conditions for the special use permit. 1. Hours: 2:30 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. - Monday thru Friday 2:30 P.M. to 10:OO P.M. - Saturdays Closed Sundays 2. Keep area around the building policed and all trash picked up, including the City parking lot to the east of the facility. 3. Provide handicap parking space and necessary bike racks in front of the building for all Arcade users. 4. Control noise by fully insulating the Arcade portion of the building and by having adult supervision. 5. There will be an adult supervisor on the premises at all times the Arcade is open. 6. License fees will be paid on all video machines, pool tables, etc. The City Police will be responsible for conducting quarterly inspections of the premises to insure all machines are licensed and the facility is clean and well maintained. 7. The Licensee will submit a report to the City every three months outlining any problems they are having with parking and Arcade operations. The City will also keep a log of all complaints, and -ask-Arcade owner to respond to each to the best of his ability. 8. o~ner will do everything within his power to prevent loitering around the outside of the building and the parking area. Mr. Watson responded favorably to all the conditions except he would like to be open on Sundays from 2:30 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. He would also go along with a 60 day license to begin with. Charon moved and Swenson seconded the following resolution. RESOLUTION #81-338 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR 60 DAYS, FROM THE DATE OF OPENING, TO TOM WATSON FOR A YOUTH CENTER/ARCADE WITH THE CONDITIONS AS STATED EXCEPT HE WOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE OPEN FROM 2:30 P.M.

TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Jon Elam, City Manager Jan Bertrand, Building Official January 8, 1982 Arcade License and Structure at 5571Auditorls Road I have made an inspection of the building at 5571 Auditor's Road on Monday. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Watson came to City Hall to discuss his plans with me to improve the building. He explained that he has an option to buy the building; but presently, he is renting approxi- mately 1,O00 square feet. There is a common wall between two parcels at the present time; the auto body shop (H-4) next door and the gener- al business use (B-2) in Mr. Nolan's building. I must require a one hour rated door, self-closing device, proper hardware and rated frame be installed in the common wall. Fire extinguishers shall be placed in each rental area. Two useable exits to be provided for each rental area. A one hour fire rated separation be maintained between the boiler/heating/cooling equipment and the exit w~y in the upstairs with make-up outside air provided to the heating equipment. Each rental area should have accessibility to rest room facilities. I suggested to Mr. Watson that the walls be finished between the rental areas with a minimum of 1/2 inch sheetrock and the possiblity of in- stalling sound proofing material such as sound board, insulation batts or equivalent. The building, if remodeled, must meet energy code re- quirements for walls and ceilings and the heating zoned for each rental area. Heat loss and energy calculations will be submitted at that time. Mr. Watson stated that he has someone working on design concepts at the present time. A survey of the property showing adjoining structures will be required at the time it is remodeled. Jan Bertrand JB/ms cc: Tom Watson James "Bud" Nolan 3/82 February 25, 1982 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL JON ELAM, CITY MANAGER BUILDING ON COUNTY ROAD llO AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE ANDERSON BUILDING With the increasing interest in doing something with the Anderson Building, it has become apparent that an alternative needs to be developed. That alternative could be a 5 acre site that is located behind the PDQ and is next to County Road 110. It is presently owned by Fritz Widmer for the storage of his old cars and tractors. Of the five acres, 2½ is under water. So actually all the usuable land available at this point is 2½ acres and a very large building. The site does not have electricity, water or sewer, but it has been filled and excavated and even now would be a perfect place for the storage of equipment, salt/sand, etc. The asking price is S150,000. I would propose offering a trade for the land we own north of the railroad tracks on Westedge Blvd. and $110,0OO., with $20,000. down and a contract over a period of years (5-7 years) so we could afford it. Most of the city public work crew has looked over the building and site and think it would be just excellent. Beyond the purchase price, work we might want to consider in 1982 on the site could be laying a bituminous mat in the yard and installing a fence around the full site for security. I think we have a good opportunity here and should push it for all its worth. JE:fc February 25, 1982 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL JON ELAM, CITY MANAGER DOCK FEE QUESTION When the dock fee system was devised, a provision was never considered for splitting the dock fee in half when two senior citizens share a dock. Example: Basic dock fee - $65.00 Single dock/individual Shared dock fee - $32.50 Single dock/ 2 individuals Senior Citizen Dock fee - $32.50 Single dock/ 1 or 2 individuals What the Park Commission approved is that when two senior citizens share or even when one senior shares with a non-senior that they should pay one-half of the $32.50 or $16.25. Thus if two seniors shared we would still get the same $32.50 as if just one senior used the dock while providing more dock opportunities for Mound residents. Another factor is that for people who do, the dock fee is increased only from $12.50 in 1981 to $16.25 in 1982. A much reduced rate. JE:fc ORDINANCE NO. 426 ORDINAtJCE AM£NDIN~ CHAPTER 26, SECTION 26.9303, SUBDIVISION 2 OF THE CITY CODE RELATING TO DOCK LICENSES The City of Mound does ordain: Section 26.9303, Subdivision 2 is amended to add the following: Subdivision 2a. Criteria for docks shared by two residents. Where dock permits are issued to two residents entitled to permits of the first or second priority that the following stipulations be made: a. That permits be for straight docks only. b. That duplicate information (including boat licenses) for each of the licensees be included on the license application. c. That each of the licensees retain priority rights to individual dock permits as vacation occurs in the immediate subdivision shoreline, second only to a licensee previously displaced from said shoreline. d. That the fee for each licensee shall be ½ the fee per Ordinance No. 322. Attest: Mayor City Clerk Adopted by the City Council Published in the Laker February 25, 1982 TO: FROM: CITY COUNCIL JON ELAM, CITY MANAGER Enclosed is a copy of the letter I sent out to the other cities regarding Continental Telephone. I have only gotten a phone call from one city councilmember in Maple Plain. Rather hard to understand. JE:fc CITY of MOUND January 14, 1982 5341 MAYWOOD ROAD MOUND. MINNESOTA 55364 1612! 472- 1155 Mayor David Geyen and the City Council City of St. Bonifacius St. Bonifacius, MN. 55375 Dear Mayor and City Council: All of you have probably been notified that Continental Telephone Company has applied for a rate increase of 39.5%. In Mound that will increase our basic monthly rate from $17.55 to 524.55. A very high rate, we feel, for the quality of service we receive. The City of Mound has completed a preliminary review of the filing and has arrived at several conclusions which we would like to share. With respect to issues, the case can be broken down into three areas; cost of service, cost of capital and rate design. Cost of service and cost of capital determine the Company's revenue requirement, while rate design involves the designing of a rate structure which will recover the needed revenue. All of which is not much different than what we do when we look at our own water and sewer rates. The filing with the State appears to lack some important information including a copy of their most recent detailed cost of service study, historical financial information and a copy of their latest annual report. An in-depth analysis of the utility should include a review of the Company's cost of service study and financial data When they are received by the Public Service Commission (PUC). We have evidence that suggests the P.U.C. has never done a critical review of the cost of Continental's service and that past rate hearings have not looked, in any depth, at the basic financial assumptions Continental uses. To expect this to be done this time would seem highly unlikely, since the P.U.C. staff has been cut and existing capability has been significantly reduced. The importance of this can be understood in light that Continental has included an expense of $959,430. for extraordinary retirement which may not even be an allowable expense for rate making purposes. Turning to the cost of capital issue, the Company is asking for an 18% return on its investment for its stockholders. Currently, the P.U.C, is allowing equity returns in the 14.5% to 15% range. A reduction in allowed equity return from 18% to 15% would reduce the rate request by $2,000,000. Page 2 Hayor and City Council January !4, 1982 With respedt to rate design, the Company's rate schedules should be reviewed to determine whether the rates over-collect from a particular class of customers. The above issues are examples of some of the issues which are present in the case and provide opportunities for counter arguments. In terms of schedule, it looks like it will proceed somewhat along the following lines. The P.U.C. will issue an Order accepting the filing and referring the matter to the Office of Administrative Hearings for public and contested case hearings. Intervenors will have the opportunity to formally intervene in the contested case proceedings. Following the hearings, the Hearing Examiner will write a report and make recommendations to the Commission. The Commission will issue its Order on or about December 17, 1982. Interim rates, subject to refund, will become effective on or about March 18, 1982. Mound would like to consider an intervention in this case. We think this application may be weak in several areas, as I have mentioned. To intervene though takes money. I understand your concerns about the cost of such an effort and you should understand at the outset that any successful intervention requires a full and complete analysis of the filing, including an in-depth analysis of the cost of service study. It is difficult to estimate the ultimate cost of such an effort, but I can say that a representation of all of the Company's customers could be completed in the $.25 to $.50 per customer range, and more than likely near the bottom of that range. If each City was to contribute or raise, say the $.50 per customer, a special fund could be set up. Initially, we would like to purpose a meeting of the metropolitan cities that are impacted by this rate request. If you are interested in a meeting to discuss this further, please let me know at your earliest convenience. A logical first step would be to engage a consultant to review the filing and the cost of service study for the purpose of identifying issues and recommending a position on each issue. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions., Sincerely, CITY OF MOUND Jon Elam City Manager JE:fc cc: Mayor and City Council,' City of St. Bonifacius Mayor and City Council, City of Wyoming INTEROFFICE MEMO FROM: SUBJECT: Jon Elam, City Manager Bruce Wold, Chief of Police Shorewood Lane Parking DATE FeBruary 1982 In order to bring some order to on-street parking along Shorewood Lane, I would make the following recommendations for your consideration: Signing: 1. Sign the west side of Shorewood Lane, from Three Points Blvd. to Quail, "No Parking Anytime" to conform with ordinance #46.29 2. Add a second 'no Trailer Parking" sign on the east side of Shorewood Lane between Sunrise Landing and Three Points Blvd. Ordinance: At the present time, '~o Parking This Side" and "No Parking Anytime" signs are installed on the east side of Shorewood Lane from Lakeside Lane to Sunrise Landing. My research reveals no ordinance allowing enforcement of these signs. I recommend an ordinance be passed making this segment of Shorewood Lane a no parking area. I further recommend that the signing begin at Lakeside Lane with a sign reading "No Parking Begins Here" and that the signing end at Sunrise Landing with a sign reading, "No Parking Ends Here". Ordinance 46.29 sect. 61c sub.9, should be changed. Delete that portion of the ordinance which specifies, "No Trailer Parking" from Ouail to Sunrise Landing. This change would end the confusion between the posted but unenforceable no parking zone and the enforceable but unsigned no trailer parking zone. I realize reading these changes will be confusing. Please refer to the attached sketch. I hope the sketch will help clarify my recommendations. 'i3 lvd. Chapter 46 - Page 3d Beachwood Road from Westedge Boulevard east to cul-de-sac.

(Ord. 415- 7-14-81) February 25, 1982 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL JON ELAM, CITY MANAGER WATERMAIN BREAK AT 5014 SHORELINE BLVD. Attached is a letter regarding a watermain break that occured the evening of February 15, 1982. I've asked Greg Bergquist to attend the Council Meeting to show how much of a pro we have when it comes to fixing all our main breaks (and also to reduce our liabilities). Also Earl Bailey will be there to try and explain (not justify) Home Insurance's refusal to pay the claim. Also in the packet is my letter to Donna Tufte. This is a discussion item not an action item, I think. JE:fc Februal7 23~ 1982 Mr. Thomas Scherber C/O Donna Tufte 5014 Shoreline Blvd. Mound, MN 5536~ Dear Mr. Scherber: Reference is made to: A. Insured B. ClaimNumber C. Date of Occurrence D. Claimant Ct~ ofMou~d 351-L-706075 2/16/82 Thomas Scherber The Home Insurance Company is the liability insurance carrier for the City of Mound. We have now completed our investigation with reference to the above captioned loss. you are aware, the damage to your apartments was caused a water main break at 5014 Shoreline Boulevard in Mound, at approximately 9:00 p.m. on February 16, 1982. Our investlgationhas indicated that Mr. Creg Berquistwas on call for the City of Mound at the time oft his occur- rence and received a call from HennepinCountydispatch at approximately 9:00 p.m. He and other employees immediately went to the scene and shut off the three water regulators. They called in the utility to locate the line sndbegan digging as soon as possible. Mr. Berquist estimates that the water was turned off at approximately 9:30 p.m. The City's contractor, Wldmer, was called in to begin digg~ug so that the water could be diverted away from the building. This particular water main is a six lnch pipe ~d is approxi- mately fifteen years old. The pipe was at the eight foot level. The city feels that the cause of the hairline crack in the pipe was the result of frost and possible ground movement. The city cannot be expected to dig up their water mains on a regular basis to inspect them. This pipe was in excel- lent condition except for the hairline crack and certainly would not require replacement. The city did note that there was a rather large rock found next to the pipe where the crack was and it is quite possible that ground movement could have been a contr~buting factor to the break,the ma~u. }~. Thomas Scherber Page 2 February 23, 1982 As the ~lty's liability insurance carrier, we are only re- sponsible for those claims in which the city has been shown to be negligent and can therefore Be held responsible. We do not find any negligence or lack of proper maintenance on the part of the City of Mound, and we must, therefore, deny your claJ~ for damages. Sincerely, cc: CI~! of Noun4 Attention: John Elam 5341MaywoodRoad MOund,~MN 55364 Youngdahl Agency Plymouth, MN Nancy Method Claim Representative CITY of ,MOUND February 23, 1982 5341 MAYWDDD MOUND. r,,~INt~E~,OTA L'.57'7 ,:' (6~2) 472-11=~ Ms. Donna Tufte Westonka Villa 5014 Shoreline Blvd. Mound, MN. 55364 Dear Ms. Tufte: I finally heard from Home Insurance an~ they repeated the same thing to me that they did to you. A. They are declining responsibility, because the City did nothing to be liable for, i.e. water main breaks are caused by the shifting of soil caused by frost. There is nothing the City or anyone else can do to prevent that problem. Thus it was as the insurance company calls it "an act of God" B. The water main is cast iron and was installed in 1965, met all health and construction standards and by most estimates has a life of from 60-70 years. C. The pipe was installed well below the normal six foot frost line, it is just because of the very cold winter that the frost line was deeper than normal. Again, something the City could not control. In the end the City has to stand behind our insurance company's decision. It would seem imperative, at this point, that you contact the insurance company for Westonka Villa, if you haven't already done so. If there is a disagreement about this decision on the part of your insurance company, I assume the two companies will work together to resolve the issue.

We want to keep the process going so we do not delay the South Shore Area any more than necessary. I would recommend each city again appoint a person to represent city on the new committee. The South Shore Cable Area has also had each member city contribute $200 to a fund to support the cost of the total process and recently has requested another $100 for a of $300 for on-going costs. I would recommend that your city also contribute to this since we are all going to participate and share in South Shore's total process, to date and in the future, until the realignment is complete and the process finalized.

California encephalitis is a disease of the central nervous system. Symptoms can range from mild headache and fever to mental confusion and convulsions. Over the past 16 years, approximately 230 cases in children under 18 years of age have been reported il. the southern and western suburbs of the Twin Cities. The victims are typically young children, and rarely is anyone 18 affected. The disease can cause permanent damage, even death. ~ Studies conducted by the Minnesota Department of Health in cooperation with the Metropolitan Mosquito Contr61 District, and several local community health service agencies, indicate that the Aedes triseriatus (tree hole) mosquito is responsible for carrying the California (LaCrosse) virus. Tree hole mosquitoes breed in the basal tree holes of hardwood trees (which grow in southwestern Hennepin County and northern Carver County) and in artificial containers, in- cluding cans, bottles, old tires and other refuse. Surveys done around the home on reported cases revealed that 94% had some type of container, usually old tires, rain barrels, cans, or litter holding stagnant water suitable for breeding tree hole mosquitoes. On the basis of st'udies done by the Minnesota Department of Health and others, it appears that California (LaCrosse) encephaliti.s can be controlled through systematic clean up of areas where old tires and other debris are present. Because cases of California (LaCrosse) encephalitis have been reported from your area in recent years, there is every reason to believe that the risk of disease will continue to be present annually unless potential breeding sites are eliminated. Since it is virtually impossible for the Community Health Department to clean up old tires and debris around homes and other problem areas, we are seeking your support to encourage others. HENNEPIN COUNTY. an equal opportunity employer The Hennepin County Community Health Department can assist your city in dealing with this problem by offering the following services: 1. Identification of problem areas 2. Informational programs for interested community organizations 3. Development of a clean-up plan 4. Training program for community organizations 5. Development of news releases and public service announcements 6. Informational materials ~ In a few weeks a Community Health Department staff perso~ will contact you to determine whether or not your city would be willing to c~operate in developing local sponsorship for a mosquito control project, i Enclosed please find one copy of a pamphlet produced for use in public aware- ness and clean-up campaigns. I hope you will consider lelnding your support to this project in your city. Please feel free to contac~ Vicki Thelen or George Bowlin by mail or by phone at 348-3925 if you have any questions.

TA/cm TWIN LABOR CITIES MARKET INFORMATI LABOR FORCE CONDITIONS Vol. 6 No. 2 February 1982 After rising sharply since September, the Minneapolis-St. Paul area unemployment rate began to level off in December. Most of 0.2 of a percentage point increase in the unemployment rate was apparently due to seasonal factors rather than economic reasons. Counts of persons claiming Unemployment Insurance during the week which included December 12 showed that constructi'on layoffs increased by 127.9 percent from November while manufacturing layoffs increased by only ll.O percent after in- creasing by 56.7 percent in November. While the Twin Cities unemployment rate re- mains low compared to State and U.S. figures, it should be noted that the rate is high relative to past years. The unemployment rate is at its highest level for a December since 1975 when it was 5.9 percent. Taking a look ahead to January and the balance of 1982, it appears that the unem- ployment rate will remain high with only gradual improvement expected later in the year. Once again, seasonal factors generally cause the local unemployment rate to rise sharply between December and January. Over the past eleven years, the rate has risen by an average of .5 of a percentage point. Many private and government econo- mists are forecasting the U.S. unemployment rate to average in the range of 8.5 per- cent to g.0 percent in 1982 compared to the actual average of 7.6 percent in 1981. Given the past relationship of the Twin Citiesarea's economy to the Nation, one would expect the Twin Cities unemployment rate to average between 5.3 and 5.6 per- cent for 1982.

Source: Current Emplo~nent Statistics Program (Ftgures rounded to nearest hundred) EMPLOYMENT AND EARNINGS CONDITIONS The number of Jobs in the Twin Cities area in December was about the same as in November. ~e reaall of workers ~n the transportation equipment industry helped off- set declines in most of the other durable goods manufacturing industries. However, the outlook .for manufacturing appears dim as employers are continuing to cutback production by reducing the number of hours in the workweek. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the length of the average workweek fell from 39.2 in November to 38.8 in December. Trade and the service industries combined to bolster employment during the holiday season. Retailers reported a late surge in sales and employment estimates showed a sizeable increase in the number of jobs from the previous month. On the other hand, the construction industry experienced a normal seasonal drop in employment in Decem- ber while the government sector continued to layoff employees due to budget trim- ming. The bleak economic news is getting to be as monotonous as the daily school closings and travel advisories. Seasonal factors account for the loss of jobs in practically all industries in January. Retail trade typically cuts back after the holidays and construction activity is also curtailed by the weather, even in years with low in- terest rates. In addition, January 1982 estimates will probably include layoffs due to economic reasons in the durable goods manufacturing industries and government. CHARACTERISTICS OF PERSONS CLAIMING UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE The number of unemployment insurance claimants increased from November to December, with December showing an ad- ditional 5,576 claimants. Although the impact of seasonal and economic factors was felt in all industries and occupa- tions, the construction industry alone accounted for 55.7 percent of the over- the-month increase. Even though the November to December increase in clai- mants is substantial, this month's 29.5 percent increase is much less than the past three-year average increase of 52 percent. Following the pattern which began in November, this month's claimant level is above December 1980 levels, with an additional 2,850 claimants. The service industry registered 30.5 percent of the yearly increase and durable goods manu- facturing accounted for 24 percent of the total increase. Compared to a year ago, the proportion of UI claimants who last worked in white-collar and service occupations has risen from 31.5 percent to 34.8 percent. This reflects both the extended duration of unemployment in Je-collar occupations which has re- lted in the exhaustion of UI benefits by these workers and an increase in layoffs in the trade, finance, service, and government industries.

A decrease in the volume of help-wanted advertising provides an early indica- tion of a downturn in the business cycle. If an employer needs to decrease produc- tion, he will probably cutback on the hiring process while making adjustments, if possible, in' the length of the workweek. An increase in help-wanted advertising gen- erally lags behind an upturn in economic activity. Although the employer may be in a position to increase production, he is able to do this by increasing the number of hours of work, recalling experienced workers on layoff status, and hiring from a readily available list of qualified applicants who have walked through the personnel office door. When this supply of labor begins to diminish, employers will increase recruitment efforts, including help-wanted advertising. The graph below shows the index of help-wanted advertising for the Minneapolis area and the seasonally adjusted handbook unemployment rate (inverted). This index is compiled by The Conference Board for 51 cities in the U.S. Monthly advertising vol- ume for each city is adjusted for differences in the number of Sundays and in the total number of days per month. The figures are seasonally adjusted and converted to index form, 1967: lO0. The graph shows a strong inverse relationship between the help-wanted index and the unemployment rate during the 1974-75 recession but a weaker relationship during the 1980 and 1981 recessions. Despite a poor job market, as indicated by a slumping want-ad index, the area has not experienced mass layoffs in the manufacturing sector such as happened in 1974-75. Between August 1974 and July 1975, the number of Jobs in the manufacturing sector dropped by over 31,000. In contrast, manufacturing job losses in the past two years have been about lO,O00. The service industries have apparently taken up the slack as the number of jobs in this segment of the economy has grown by over lO,O00 in the past two years whereas between 1974 and 1975 the in- crease was about 4,500.

MN 55415 612-3324166 TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: MEMORANDUM The Downtown Advisory Committee Rob Chelseth, City Planner 26 February 1982 Work Program for the Completion/Implementation of the Mound Downtown Plan. At this time,, the committee has completed a draft of the Downtown Plan, including 33 suggested objectives for downtown revitalization. The committee has also received input on the plan from several key sources, including the City Council, Westonka Chamber of Commerce, and the City Manager's office. At this time, the questions facing the DAC are: 1) if and how the objectives should be modified to reflect the additional input; and, 2) how to proceed with plan implementation from this point. To faci)itate discussion on this issue, the following work program and budget has been developed for your consideration. It is intended as a starting point for your decisions. Begin at tonight's meeting by reviewing the objectives list, and input received from outside sources. Then start the process by: 1. Removing or modifying current objectives based upon the new input received. 2. Regroup the remaining objectives~in "subject-related" categories to facilitate, assignment to the groups charged with implementation. 3. Rank these categories from high to low priority based upon input. 4. Direct the City Planner to prepare "action plans" based upon the new categories and rankings for final DAC review and recommendation to the City Council for approval and implementation. (Budget: $300) The following is an example of an "action plan" format: Objective; Specific Actions: Resources Needed: Improve the physical appearance of downtown properties through clean-up and maintenance. Remove trash Yard work Improve the appearance of trash containers Painting Adequate street/sidewalk sweeping Energetic volunteers and employees. Most costs absorbed by property owners. Probably no need for a financing program, although some improvements (e.g. screening, fencing) may by eligible under the building rehab program. .Downtown Advisory Committee 26 February 1982 Page.2 Timetable: April-June 1982 Responsibi]ity:~ Chamber of Commerce, Retail Merchants Committee Coordination: Link with city street cleanin§ and clean-up plans. Once completed, these action plans would be presented to the DAC for review and recommendation to the City Council for implementation. It is likely that the action plans prepared for higher priority items will be more detailed in their recommendations than the example il- lustrated above. Once the City Council receives and approves the plan, they can begin implementation of it by assi§ning responsibility to the group or groups identified in the action plan, and making available the public resources and support,necessary. Time Line February 26th: March 11th: March ?: Complete final objectives/categories and rankings. Follow-up DAC meeting to review and approve action plans for recommendation to City Council. Presentation of action plans to City Council for implementation.
