PUBLIC HEARING - STREET VACATION - NORTH lO FEET OF NORTH BEACHSIDE ROAD
The City Manager explained that this vacation is requested in order to make
Lot 19, Block 2, Shadywood Point, a conforming and buil.dable lot. It presently
has approximately 8600 square feet of area and the R-I Zoning requires 10,OOO
square feet of area. He reported that the Planning Commission had a problem
with this vacation because there is a natural drainage ditch within the 10
feet proposed to be vacated which the City has 3 catch basins draining into.
The Planning Commission, on a vote of 3 in favor, 2 against and 2 abstentions,
recommended vacation of the requested IO feet of Beachside Lane based on the
deed stating that when a structure is built on the site, the builders will
assume al.1 government costs incurred in constructing necessary gutters, sewers,
etc., needed to properly drain the area's storm water and that existing
structures be removed within six months.
The Mayor opened the Public Hearing. Ray Demont spoke against the proposed
vacation. Tim Heyman, representing the applican~ for the vacation was
present. The Council discussed the possible drainage problem if this
i0 feet were vacated and the note from the Dock Inspector stating that approval
of this vacation would eliminate 1 of 3 dock sites. The Mayor closed the public
hearing.

PARKING CHANGE ON EDGEWATER DRIVE
The City Manager reported that there has been a complaint about the blockage
of mailboxes on Edgewater Drive. A memo from the Police Chief stated that
the ordinance calls for no parking on both sides of the roadway but currently
the streets is signed to permit parking on the east side. The Post Office
has asked in the past that the side of the street with the mailboxes be
posted no parking. The recommendation was to amend the Ordinance to read:
"No parking on the West side of Edgewater Drive from Falrview Lane to Northern
Road". The Council was concerned about the reaction of residents on
Edgewater so they asked the City Manager to send out a letter informing
them of the change in the ordinance.

has researched the qualifications for applying for both and the City"
has informed Mr. Essig that he may not apply for a Set-Up License until
his delinquent property taxes are paid and in order for the City to
issue a 3.2 Beer License, a public hearing will have to be held. Mr. Essig
has asked that the Council set a date for the public hearing. In order
to legally publish the notice and notify the persons affected, August 24,
1982, is the soonest possible date for a public hearing.
Charon moved and Swenson seconded a motion to set the date for the Public
Hearing .on the issuance of a 3.2 Beer License to the Surfside for August
24, 1982, at 7:30 P.M. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
REQUEST FOR REMOVAL OF ASSESSMENT UNIT CHARGE - GARY ERDMAN -26~6 WESTEDGE BLVD.
Mr. & Mrs. Erdman were present and stated that they felt one unit charge
should be eliminated because they own both lots and they abut each other
and' they have applied to have the lots combined as one parcel. The Council
explained that when the assessment letter was sent out in September, 1981,
it stated that non-conforming, undersized lots could be combined but that
the Erdman lots are both conforming lots~o begin with therefore are not
eligible for combination to eliminate a unit charge. No action was taken.

NOTICE OF HEARING ON IMPROVEMENT
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of'Mound will
meet at the Mound City Hall, 5341 Maywood Road, Mound, Minnesota, at ?:30 P.M.,
C.D.S.T. on August 10, 1982, to consider the extension of storm sewer in
Peabody Road, from County Road 110 (Commerce Boulevard) east to an existing
channel from Harrisons Bay, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 429.Oll
to 429.111.
The area proposed to be assessed for such. inprovements is all the property
abutting Commerce Boulevard from Bartlett Boulevard to the north City limits
and those properties abutting Sherwood Drive. The estimated cost of such
improvement is $13,300.
Such persons as desire to be heard with reference to the proposed improvement
will be heard at this meeting.

Mound City Clerk
Published in the Laker on July 27 and August 3, 1982
SPECIFIC FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This is the addition of one small piece of storm sewer that was left out of
the original County Road llO Project. At this time, the City is proposing
to add it in at an estimated cost of $13,300.00. After subtracting Hennepln
~ounty's and the City of Mound's share, the total amount to be assessed will
be $9,390.00.
It is proposed that it will be spread on a square foot basis, as other storm
sewer work in the project was, with the exception of the two abutting lots
which will be assessed a total of one third (1/3) or $3,130.00. This leaves
$6260.00 to be spread over a total of 1,933,000 square feet. That breaks
down to a cost of ~.~. cents per square foot. An example: a 10,000 square
foot lot will total $32.00, in addition to the original project costs which
are just now being finalized and are expected not to exceed the original
costs as proposed in the Winter of 1981.
PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING REPORT
Peabody Road
Storm Sewer
Ouly, 1982
I hereby certify that this Report was prepared by me or
under my direct supervision and that I am a duly Registered
Rrofessional Engineer under the laws of the State of Minnesota.
6/30/82 .................. ,: ................ Minn. Reg. No. 7411
William H. McCombs
General
The'low area which covers the platted right-of-way known as Peabody Road'.'
and drains northeast to a dredged channel has evidently been a problem for some
time. At times of peak runoff, erosion occurs and silt is carried through this
area and is filling in the channel. This problem was compounded when County
Road llO was upgraded last year with curb and gutter and additional storm
sewer. More Storm water is now carried directly to this area through the
system constructed by the county which outlets at the toe of the slope from
County Road llO. It then flows overland approximately 500 feet to the
channel., This overland flow is causing severe erosion in this area and
accelerating the filling of the channel.
The O~ners of Lots i and 2, Block 1, Sherwood Shores have requested that
the storm sewer be extended to the channel to prevent more erosion and filling
of the channel.
Design
We propose to extend Hennepin Countys 21" storm sewer to the end of the
open channel. The structure proposed for the angle point of Peabody Road would
have an inlet grate to pick up additional runoff from the surrounding area.
The outlet at the channel would have hand placed rip rap to prevent additional
erosion. We do not propose the City do any dredging of the existing channel
s~nce this area is now private property. Easements will have to be acquired
over the portion of vacated Peabody Road if the City did not retain any rights
at the time it was vacated.
Costs
Tne estimated cost of the project proposed in this report is $13,)00.00...
This estimate includes cootingencies and engineering, legal, fiscal and
administrative costs. A detailed cost breakdown is included in this report.
Hennepin County has agreed to pay 17.4% ($2,314.00) of the cost based on
their share o[ the drainage area and it has been the City's policy in the past
to pay 12~ ($1,596.00). The cost remaining to be assessed is $9,390.00.
Assessments
Storm sewers have been assessed in the past:to the properties in the
drainage area on a square foot basis. This method is further'complicated by
the fact that some of the property in this drainage area was already assessed
for storm sewer as part of the 1980 Street Improvements, This would include
the properties fronting Grandview Boulevard from County Road llO to Bellaire
Lane. It would be very difficult to assess them again°
There is also additional property which contributes water to the low area
of Reabody Road directly from overland runoff, namely the housing complex at
Balsam and County Road #il0. Following are two possible methods that could be
used to assess the cost of this project.
Method I
Since the project is essentially an extension of the storm sewer installed
by Hennepin County, the cost could be added to Mound's share of that project
and assessed by the method suggested in our preliminary engineering report
dated Oanuary 1981. The,City has not received the final cost, as of this date,
so we would still be using estimates. The City's share was estimated.at -.
$83,850.00 spread over an area of 1,741,400 S.F. This results in a charge of
$O.048'per square foot. If the $9,390.00 to be assessed on this project is
added in and the square footage left as is, the charge per square foot would be
$o.o54.'
The major problem with this method is that one of the two lots benefiting
from the project, Lot 2, 8lock l, Sherwood Shores, would not be assessed. The
reason being that it does not front on the County Road project. This method
could be carried one step further by assessing a percentage of this project
directly to these two lots. If 1/3 of the assessment is divided between the
two lots and the remainder added to the County Rroject the assessment for the
County storm sewer would then be approximately $0.052 per square foot.
Method 2
This alternate method could be assessed by the drainage area excepting
those properties already assessed. All the area handled by -this one system
outleting on Reabody Road would be assessed including those parcels fronting on
the County Road. However, we believe Lots i and 2, Block l, Sherwood Shore
receive a major benefit and should be assessed 1/3 of the assessment divided
between the lots or $1,550 each. With this method the other properties within
the defined drainage area would be charged approximately $0.025 per square
foot. For the lots fronting on the County Road this would be in addition to
the $0.048 per square foot assessment for the storm sewer installed by the
County. /f?~

Dear Sirs:
Burlington Northern Railroad Co. is the owner of operating right-of-way
abutting County Road 110 (Commerce Blvd.) That right-of-way is
described by County Code Numbers 13-117-24 33-0003 and 14-117-24
34-0001.
The Burlington Northern feels that the improvements being made to
County Road 110 are no value to the operating right-of-way; and we will,
of course, protest any assessments spread against the right-of-way for
these improvements.
Please take this matter into consideration at the public hearing
scheduled for August 10, 1982, and also prior to spreading the
assessments for this project.

Drainage Problems
Block 10, Woodland Point
Between Eagle Lane & Dove Lane
File #6456
Dear Oon:
As requested, we have reviewed the drainage problems in Block 10, Woodland
Point, between Eagle and Dove, with emphasis oh Lots 4 and 5. As shown on the
attached drawing, a culvert under Eagle Lane empties into a small ditch which
wanders through a nun~er of lots before it reaches a culvert under Dove Lane.
When Eagle Lane was improved in 1975, the minimum storm sewers were
constructed to save costs, since only a few scattered streets were included in
the project and it was not possible to provide areawide storm sewers. For this
reason, the culvert under Eagle Lane at the lot line between Lots 3 and 4
remained in place, with openings left in the new curb to direct the water
through this culvert. The small ditch which flows through Block l0 is
evidently a waterway that has existed for many years. The paving and curb and
gutter on Eagle added very little additional water to this natural drainage
way.
We have looked at three different alternatives for rerouting the water to
make Lots 4 and 5 buildable. Alternate No. i would consist of extending the
culvert under Eagle to the rear lot line of Lot 4 and redoing the ditch from
that point to the south until it intersects the existing ditch. A new catch
basin would also have to be built in the gutter line at the west end of the
existing culvert in Eagle.
Alternate No. 2 would carry Alternate No. i a step further. The storm
sewer pipe would be extended along the rear lot lines to approximately the line
between 17 and 18 and then angle southwest and connect to the existing culvert
under Dove Lane. A catch basin would have to be built at this location also.
This would make not only Lots 4 and 5 buildable, but also the remaining lots in
8lock l0 usable with fill added in the low area. There are a number of large
trees that would have to be removed in order to construct either Alternates No.
i or No. 2, the cost of which is not included in the attached estimate.
Easements would also have to be obtained for both of these alternatives.

Alternate No. 3 involves constructing a storm sewer in the street south. to
Oennings Road and connecting to the existing storm sewer at that point. This
method would be costly because of the restoration of the street.
SUGARY
Even though Alternate No. 1 is by far the least expensive, we do not feel
it would be the most economical in the long run. In order to make the
remaining vacant lots buildable, the storm sewer would have to be extended to
Dove Lane as. suggested in Alternate No. 2. This would require additional
expense and more easements. We do not feel that the City of Mound should bear
the full cost of improving the drainage through this area since this has always
been a natural drainage way and the property owners will receive substantial
financial benefits by obtaining some buildable lots. Traditionally, this type
of work is done by the property owners themselves.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Mayor and Council Members-
As requested, we are submitting herewith additional information to our
letter dated April 30, 1982 on the drainage problem in Block 10, Woodland
Point. A copy of the previous letter is attached.
As stated in that previous letter, we do not feel that Alternate No. i is
the most economical. We have determined the drainage area that contrtbutes to
the flow through the existing culvert. Contingencies and engineering, legal,
fiscal and administrative costs have been added to our original estimates for
Alternates 2 and 3 to arrive at costs to use for assessment purposes. The
estimated cost for tree removal has also been added to Alternate No. 2.
Attached are these revised costs for Alternates 2 and 3.
The cost of this improvement could be assessed to properties which are
within the drainage area. T~e street right-of-way accounts for approximatel~
One.. fourth Of the drainage area;~efore, we have Charg~d~c~-~ City 25% of ~h9
~.Q~t and-propose assessing the remainder. Since the two'%acant propertie-~
81oc~l'o-feceive~h-~-most benefit frbm this project, we feel they should be
charged one half of the assessment. The following shows the proposed
assessment for Alternates 2 and 3.

temporary solution. Either Alternates 2 or 3 are feasible and, in the opinion
of the Engineer, can best be accomplished as described herein.

Preliminary Assessment Figures
File #6001
Dear Jon:
Upon receiving the final costs from Henn~pin County for Mound's share of
the work on Commerce Blvd., we have computed some preliminary figures for as-
sessment purposes. The three items proposed to be assessed back to the
abutting properties are curb and gutter, driveway aprons and storm sewer. The
following shows the proposed assessment numbers as compared to those presented
in the Preliminary Engineering Report.
Proposed Assessment
Conc. Curb and Gutter ~3.34/L.F.
Driveway Aprons ~i.50/S.F.
Storm Sewer ~0.046 S.F.
P.E.R. Assessment
~5.10/L.F.
3.58/S.F.
~ 0. 048/S. F.
The City's share of this project billed as of this date plus other costs
are as follows:
Invoiced from Hennepin County
Eng. Legal, Fiscal & Admin.
Misc. Expense (T.V. & repair
San. Sew., etc.)'
Direct Cost to Property (Bus.

Hennepin County has not finalized the cost for Right of Way acquisition,
therefore, the City's share is not included in the above figures. The county's
estimate back in early 1981 was ~178,000.00 of which the City's share would be
50% or ~89,000.00. This amount added to the ~42,496.81 from above, would bring
the total amount to be paid directly by the City to approximately ~131,497.00.
The street light costs have not been included in any of the previous numbers
since they will be assessed separately.

Preliminary Assessment Figures
File #5951
Dear Jon:
We have put together the total costs for the above project and also
calculated some preliminary charges for assessment purposes. The assessment
numbers stated in the Preliminary Engineering Report and those talked about at
the public hearing were used as close as possible. The total footage to be as-
sessed ended up to be less along with a different proportion between the
footages of residential and other uses.
The properties have been divided into two categories, single family resi-
dential use as one and all other uses as the second category. The charge per
foot for the other uses was computed at 1-1/2 times the residential rate. Us-
ing this criteria, the amount to be assessed ($68,700.00) was spread between
the two uses as follows:
Residential Use = $17,157.81 ~ 3,919.44 L.F. = $4.38/L.F.
Other Use = $51,542.19 ~ 7,849.35 L.F. = $6.57/L.F.
The total cost of the project to date is 3187,252.13, of which approximate-
ly $68,700.00 will be assessed back to the abutting properties. The following
is a breakdown of the total cost of the street light project.

We are aware that even though the total amount to be assessed is unchanged,
the charge for the street lights is approximately 31.25 per foot above the
figures stated at the public hearing, but we feel that this is the only
economical way for the City to finance a portion of this project.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not
hesitate to contact me.

Mound Municipal Water Supply
April 7, 1982
Recommendations:
1. (Well #2) Abandoned deep wells~ whether municipal or private,should
be properly sealed and abandoned as outlined in the Water .Well
Construction Code. '
The City should consider constructing 'an additional well to
serve as a standby or emergency water source.
3. (Wells #3,#6,#7) Chlorine rooms should have,
A louvered air intake located near the ceiling and as
far away from the exhaust vent as possible.
Undersized mains (less than 6 inchesin diameter) should be
replaced as the opportunities present themselves. :
All underwater crossings should be eliminated as soon as
practical by constructing an above-water crossing. An alternate
method would be to install a manhole on one side of the cross-'
lng, having valves and appurtenances such that the crossing
can be pressure tested. .'
The average daily water usage greatly exceeds the' guidelines
of providing a minimum of one-day water storage capacity. We
reco~,end that a study be conducted to determine the adequacy
of the system and the possible'need for increased water storage
facilities.
A comprehensive program of cross-connection surveillance should
be instituted to protect the municipal water supply. This
should include~
a. The detection and correction of cross-connections to unsafe
water supplies.
b. The education of the public on th~ dangers of cross-connections.
The installation of vacuum breakers on all threaded hose
bibbs in new and 91~ buildings.
d. The replacement of defe' ,ctive plumbing in older buildings.
Periodic cross-connection inspections of potentially
hazardous industries and commercial establishments.
The stock polyphosphate solution should be disinfected with a
free chlorine residual of at least 10 milligrams per liter.
The operator should check chlorine residuals at least weekly
on the distribution system using a DPD test kit.

Developments from a Month'Ago'
The May unemployment rate in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area.rose to 5.7
percent,surpassing the previous record May level of 5.4 percent in 1975. It appears
that many students and other sunnier jobseekers may have started their job search
earliqr this year as the labor force expanded more rapidly than normal between April
and May. Employment expanded at a rate equal to the growth rate of the past twelve
years which is a positive sign. However, the employment growth was not sufficient
to absorb all the jobseekers and, consequently, unemployment edged upward. In
addition to the unemployment problem among new entrants to the labor force, there
was some increase in layoffs in the manufacturing sector.

LABOR FORCE CONDITIONS (cont.)
A comparison of labor force figures this May with those of May 1981 show the contin-
uing effects of the recession. Total employment remains below'the level of a year
ago in the Nation, as well as Minnesota and the Twin Cities. The number, of unemploy-
ed workers is about 30 percent above the level of a year ago. Perhaps one reason
why the unemployment rate- has not risen even more than it has in the past year in
the Twin Cities area is the very slow growth in the 'labor force. According to the
estimates, the metropolitan area labor force is only 0.2 percent larger than a year
ago. Over the past eleven years, the labor force has grown by an average of over
2.5 percent. On a statewide basis, the civilian labor force is estimated to have
decreased slightly. The slower growth, or decline, in the labor force is probably
due to-a combination of factors. First of all, compared to previous years the
number of young people reaching the working age of 16 years old is decreasing as the
baby boom population ages. Secondly, given very poor job market conditions, many
young people, as well as adults, have become discouraged and have left the labor
force. Thirdly, some restde6ts have left the State in search of work elsewhere in
the U.S.
Three-Month Outlook
The unemployment rate should remain relatively high 'during the next three months
due to seasonal factors and the lingering, effects of the recqssion. The rate is
likely to increase substantially in June as students continue t~enter the job market
lowing the end of the school year. Over the past twelve years, the unemployment
rate has increased by an average of 0,5 of a percentage point between May and June.
Then, in July and August, the rate generally decreases as students who have not
found work leave the labor force. Although it appears that the U.S. economy is in a
trough, many' economists are not expecting a robust recovery this year due'to the
dampening effects of high interest rates. Consequently, any employment growth which
does occur during the sunnier will likely be modest.

'CHARACTERISTICS OF PERSONS
CLAIMING UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
Following a normal seasonal pattern,
the number of unemployment insurance
claimants in May decreased by 2,805
from April. However, the -9.1 percent
decrease compares to a past three year
monthly decrease of -20.5 percent.
Construction claims decreased by 2,810
from April, but thisdecrease was par-
tially offset by a large increase in
manufacturing claims, almost 600, par-
ticularly in the machinery, printing
and publishing industries.
Continuing the trend of the past sever-
al months, May figures show a huge
increase ip claimant levels compared to
a year ago -- an increase of 10,040.
With the exception of construction, all
industries and occupations show in-
creases from a year ago. The manufac-
turing industry alone accounted for
over half of the yearly increase, with
an additional 5,365 claimants. In the
manufacturing sector, the largest in-
.Creases occurred in fabricated metals,
machinery, and printing and publishing
industries. O~her large yearly increases
were noted in retail trade, up 1,208
claimants, and the services industry,
up 1~687.
Preliminary reports indicate June claim-
ant counts may decrease slightly, while
the trend over the last three years has
been for claimant counts to increase
slightly from May to June.
The graph to the right illustrates the
impact of the 1980 recession and the
recovery of early 1981 and the reces-
sion of late 1981 on "blue-collar" and
"white-collar" occupations. It shows
differences in both intensity and tim-
ing on these occupational categories.
As recessions begin, it appears "blue-
collar" workers are the first to be
laid Off, but also the first to be re-
hired during recovery.

EMPLOYMENT AND EARNINGS CONDITIONS
)~ments from Last Month
The number of jobs in the Twin Cities area increased slightly in May. Manufacturing
emploYment remained at about the same level as in April, while' there were seasonal
jobs added in the construction, services, and government industries. Meanwhile,
employment growth was weaker than normal in the wholesale and retail trade industries
and unchanged or slightly lower in transportation, utilities, and finance. Overall,
the job picture did not deteriorate further, but the estimates also do not point to
any definite upturn yet.
Of particular note in the manufacturing sector was the recall of workers in the
lumber and wood products industry. While demand for products in new home construction
remains-' cool due to high interest rates, there is considerable demand due to
residential remodeling and improvements. On the other side of the ledger, employment
in the textile and apparel industry registered a sharp drop in May. This industry
has seen a gradual drop in employment over the past thirty years due to. competition
from foreign countries. In 1950, there were about ll,O00 jobs in t~e textile and
apparel industry in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. In May 1982 a large firm
continued the phaseout of their manufacturing operations i~ the area and employment
is about 2,500.
Developments from a Year A.9.o
The extent of the recession is very evident i~ the year ago employment comparison.
Overall, manufacturing sector job loss has been 8,200 from last year and 19,200 from
the pre-recession high in November 1979. This compares with a 30,000 drop in manu-
facturing, employment between August 1974 and February 1976. As usual, during a
recession nondurable goods manufacturing industries have experienced less job loss
than the durable goods manufacturers.' The construction industry continues to be the
hardest hit by the recession, relatively speaking. Employment is nearly 10 percent
lower than May 1981 when there was a major labor dispute and 22 percent below the
level of May 1980.
Among the few industry groups showing an increase in employment from a year ago are
finance, business,and medical services. However, the job growth in these industries
has been far below the rates of recent years. For example, over the past eleven
years, the number of jobs in the finance, insurance, and real estate industry
increased by an average of 3.8 percent a year and medical, services employment grew
by 5.4 percent.
Three Month Outlook
During the next three month period, seasonal factors will play a significant role
in the nonagricultural wage and salary employment levels. On the plus side, con-
struction emploYment generally increases through the summer months. On the minus
side, employment in public and private education drops significantly with the end of
the school year in June. Employment estimates in June 'will also reflect a major
labor dispute in the transportation industry which has since been settled. The
summer months are traditionally slow ones for the retail trade industry, so little
job growth is anticipated in that sector. The outlook for the manufacturing sector
remains uncertain, although one can be cautiously optimistic that manufacturing
employment is now in a trough period and that th.e. re. will. be some improvement in the
months ahead. The strength of the recovery wim/ oepena, to a great extent, on the
movement of interest rates during the rest of 1982.

THE JOB MARKET
is interesting to look at the economic structure of smaller areas within the
arger labor market area and to see what the impact of business cycles has on those
areas. Perhaps the best small area employment data avai. lable to do this research is
data on employment in firms covered by the Minnesota Unemployment Insurance Program.
This data.is referred to as "covered" employment. The Unemployment Insurance Program
covers approximately 97 percent of all wage and salary jobs in the State. Because of
its comprehensiveness, the data is used as a benchmark for the monthly sample-based
estimates of nonagricultural wage and salary employment which appears in the table
on page'five. The major groups of workers not covered are railroad transportation
workers, students at colleges who are working for the college, real estate and in-
surance sales persons who work exclusively on commission, and elected government of-
ficials..
Liable employers report employment and wages to the Department of Economic Security
each quarter. The firm data is coded by industry, county, and community location.
For the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul,firms are also coded into zip zones which
are combinations of zip codes. It takes approximately six months from the end of
the reporting quarter to edit and process reports from the nearly 87,000 employers
in the State. The table below shows 1981 annual average "covered" employment by
industry for the nine individual counties and the relative change in employment from .-
1980.

THE JOB MARKET (cont;)
Overall, employment averaged out at the same level in 1981 as a year earlier. During
1981 there was a modest recovery in the manufacturing sector during the first three-
quarters before slumping in the fourth quarter. On top of slack demand due to high
interest rates, the construction industry faced a .prolonged'labor dispute in the
summer of 1981. Transportation and government was slightly lower as. the recession
and labor disputes lowered demand for trucking, rail and air transportation and
revenue shortfalls caused government cutbacks. Ramsey County employment was partic-
ularly affected by the 10ss of employment in these two industries as well as a loca-
tion code change ~from Ramsey to Washington County for part of a large insurance firm.
Offsetting the loss of jobs in the goods-producing sector and government was job
creation in the service sector. However, even these fast-growing industries felt
the impact of the recession in 1981. Employment in the trade industry, which had
grown by an average of 3.9 percent during the 1975 to 1980 period, grew by only O.1
percent in 1981. The growth rate of finance and services was one-half to three-
fourths of the average of the previous five years.
Since 1975, covered employment in the metropolitan area has grown by 201,665. Of
this growth, 53.6 percent has occurred in Hennepin County, 17.0 percent in Ramsey
County, 10 percent in Anoka and 8.9 percent in Dakota. For more information on
"covered" employment, please feel free to call the LMI Center.

Maintenance - Warehouse Facility
Complete
t~abnegan over 10 years ago, a task force committee was
ed to determine the long term needs for a main-
ce shop and warehouse facility. At the time, the
facility had 7,000 Sq. Ft. and an inventory of approximately
$200,000.00. During Sept. 1975, the Commission
authorized the preparation of plans and specifications for
the design of this facility with the firm of Orr-Schelen-
Mayeron and Associates.
Construction contract was awarded to Bor-Son Con-
struction Co. during March, 1981. Nearly 90% of the
project (75°,;0 Federal - 15% State) eligible costs were
financed by Federal-State Construction Grant Program.
The recently completed building contains 55,515 sq. ft.
and total project costs are approximately $5.2 million. The
warehouse portion contains 23,500 sq. ft. and includes
bins, shelving, storage pallets, a loading and unloading
dock, inventory record office and freight elevator with
access to plant tunnel system. The warehouse inventory
contains 20,000 items at a cost value of $4,500,000.
The 32,000 Sq. ft. maintenance shop which houses 114
trade and related personnel such as Machinist,
Mechanics, Pipefitters, and Electricians, contains a
machineshop for machining, metal working, pipefitting
and assembly,.` an electric shop, a welding area,
sandblasting and preparation area, vehicle storage and
repair area, locker room and lunchroom area. In addition,
this facility has a.computer system entitled Maintenance
Jil~na§ement Information and Scheduling System
~vIISS). The Metro Plant has a large number of diverse
operating equipment which must be maintained in order
to assure process performance and prolong equipment
life. Approximately 3,500 motors for pumps, gates and
fans, 1,000 pneumatically operated gates and values and
2,000 sensors. Plant maintenance falls in two classes,
preventative and emergency. The components that make
up the MMISS include Preventive and Corrective main-
tenance,~ Inventory Management, Equipment Life,
Management Information, Cost Management and File
Maintenance.
These reports will improve the management of main-
tenance personnel and equipment needs which will result
in annual savings in labor cost due to increase in produc-
tivity and reduction of overtime pay and the impact of a
preventative maintenance program on equipment life.

new permit requirements when it is finalized. Also, future
issues will deal with other areas of the Commission such
as: the Industrial Pretreatment Program; sludge-ash dis-
posal and reclamation programs; innovative and alter-
native technology programs, etc.
I am enthusiastic about "The Outfall" and the op, -
tunity it presents to communicate with all of you and to
keep you informed on Commission activities to further
mutual understanding for the benefit of all. In addition, I
would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the em-
ployees of the Commission for their support, interest and
efforts in making it possible for the Commission to meet
its goals and comply with its obligations. Without their
combined efforts, it would not be possible.

Mr. Jonathan R. Elam
City Manager, Mound
5341 Maywood Road
Mound, MN 55364
Dea~ Mayors, City Attorneys, and Administrative Offices:
I have been requested by the Chairman of the Board of the
Lake Minnetonka Conservation District to draft a letter to all
cities who appoint members to the Lake Minnetonka Conservation
District (LMCD) describing the policies and procedures on pros-
ecution of violations of the LMCD Code of Ordinances.
The LMCD is.a public corporation and a political subdivision
of the state which was created pursuant to Laws 1967, Chapter 907
as amended by Laws 1969, Chapter 272. It has the power to enact
regulations which have the force and effect of ordinances and to
enforce its regulations by injunction or by prosecution as mis-
demeanors.
In most cases, we have found that it is most efficient and
in the best interest of the cities, the I~CD, and the public for
violation of the LMCD Code to be prosecuted by the prosecutors of
the municipalities bordering on the lake. However, in some cases
we have determined that it is more appropriate that violations be
prosecuted by the LMCD attorney. The following explanation may
be helpful in understanding why the LMCD has chosen to prosecute
in certain cases.
Most misdemeanors occurring on the lake relate to boating
activities. These violations, which are usually enforced by the
county sheriff, involve such things as equipment violations,
moving violations of boats, violations relating to the use of
snowmobiles, fishhouses, and the like. These matters are well
suited for prosecution by the city prosecutor for a number of
reasons including the following:
1. The prosecutor is present at the courthouse as part of
his normal duties. Therefore, the cost to the public of prose-
cuting these violations is reduced.

2. Prosecution of these violations does not'require an
understanding of the more complex provisions of the LMCD Code.
In fact, such violations often constitute violations of state law
as well.
3. Ordinarily any challenges to the ordinances or consti-
tutional challenges are those with which prosecutors have become
very familiar in the course of their other misdemeanor prosecu-
tions.
4. These violations are'usually one-time violations. In
the event prosecution is unsuccessful, they will not lead to a
failure to stop a continuing violation.
5.. It is unlikely that an unfavorable result will set a
precedent which will have a lake-wide impact in the future.
There are cases, however, which the LMCD has determined are
best. prosecuted by the LMCD. These cases are usually commenced
by issuance of a ticket by the LMCD dock inspector. The viola-
tions have to do with the operation of marinas or the construction
or maintenance of docks on the lake.'
The reasons for a decision to prosecute these violations in
the name of the LMCD include the following:
1. The LMCD has the authority to enforce its ordinances by
injunction. Often if the violation is a continuing, violation or
involves complex legal issues which are of sufficient importance
to justify seeking a determination in District Court, the LMCD
~may choose to seek an injunction rather than to prosecute the
violation as a misdemeanor.
2. A challenge to the ordinance or constitutional challenge
resulting in the invalidation of an ordinance can have an impact,
not only in that municipality, but over the entire lake.
3. In the event of a continuing violation, an unsuccessful
prosecution could result in an inability to bring about the dis-
continuance of the violation.
4. Settlement of these cases is not always a matter of
simple plea bargaining. It may involve additional licensing
consideration by the Board of Directors resulting in reduced or
altered configurations of docks.
5. The provisions of the LMCD Code dealing with marinas
and dock violations are, in many respects, similar to city zoning
codes. These ordinances have been adopted over a number of years

and, in the process, have become fairly complex. Therefore,
prosecution of these violations can involve a substantial process
of education for a prosecutor who is not familiar with these
aspects of the code.
As a general rule, the procedures followed in the case of
the typical violation ticketed by the county sheriff is handled
in the same manner as other prosecutions in the city; and in
nearly all cases, the LMCD has'no knowledge of the prosecution or'
the outcome. This procedure has apparently been very satis-
factory in the past and we do not propose any changes.
Other violations which are commenced by the LMCD ~ock
inspector are brought by the LMCD in the name of the LMCD by
the. LMCD prosecutor. Although we may not always have done so in
the past, we will attempt in all of these cases in the future to
give the local prosecutor advance notice of such prosecutions
which are being handled by the LMCD.
In the past, the number of violations prosecuted by the LMCD
over the entire lake has been no more than approximately 6 cases
a year and many years there have been no such prosecutions.
A decision to prosecute a misdemeanor violation in the name
of the LMCD is made by the LMCD attorney and the Executive
Director of the LMCD. If, upon receiving notice of a pending
prosecution, the city, for any reason, wishes to have the matter
handled by its lOcal prosecutor, please contact me or the Exec-
utive Director as soon as possible. It may be that the District
will nevertheless decide to prosecute the case in the name of the
District. But any such request will be submitted to the Board of
Directors and given careful consideration.
Over the years the relationship between the cities bordering
on Lake M±nnetonka and the LMCD in this regard has been an excel-
lent one in nearly all cases. We are hopeful that the spirit of
mutual respect and cooperation that has prevailed over the years
will continue.
If you have any questions on this matter, please feel free
to give me a call.
Very truly yours,
Charles L. LeFevere
