A proposed redevelopment or development project should not be 'reasonably expected to occur in the foreseeable future except through the use of tax increment financing. 5.

(1983 Assessed Value is $60,258,249 - 5% equals $3,012,912.) c. Tax increment'districts should be completed and terminated in the shortest possible time, keeping in mind the viable requirements of the district and the need to keep the tax increment distr(ct finan- cially and aethetically healthy for the full term Of any tax increment financing.

By using 125% of the $60,300.00 figure, a performance bond in the amount of $?5,3?5.00 will be required for the Oevelopment of this northerly portion. You also requested a dollar amount for an escrow fund to cover the City's engineering costs. We believe the amount should be approximately 2~ of the construction cost, or $1,200.00. We have also enclosed a copy of our letter dated March 10, 1982 and the cost estimate that accompanied it for the first phase of Lost Lake Addition. To arrive at the estimated cost of the entire project, these two estimates will need to be combined, resulting in a total project cost of $104,275.00 and a bond amount of $130,344.00.

The following are our comments and recommendations. 1. Grading: A more detailed grading and erosion control plan will be re- quired before final plat approval is granted..Also, permits most likely will required from agencies such as the DNR and Minnehaha Creek Watershed Dis- trict before final plat approval.. 2. Storm Sewer: Detailed storm sewer plan Will .also have to be submitted to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and the City of Mound before final plat approval. 5. Sanitary Sewer and Watermain: The 6"-watermain should be looped through to the existing main in MaywOod Road. We would suggest that the sani- tary sewer and watermain be run in the same easement. The exact ~lignment can be determined'at a later date when the final construction plans are prepared. 4. Streets: As we stated in our previous letter of February 22, 1983, we feel the proposed cul-de-sac is still excessively long, egen though the number · of housing units have been reduced. This change will of course reduce the amount of traffic, but we are still concerned with creating a dead end street of this length. The possibility of extending this street through to Maywood Road could be investigated since the sanitary sewer and watermain will need to be connected to the existing mains in Maywood Road. 3an Bertrand Hay 17, 1983 Page Two .CASE NO. 83-229 Final construction plans will need to be submitteO and approved prior to council action on the final plat.

MINNESOTA 55364 . · (612) 472-1155 TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Mound City Planning Commission Rob Chelseth, City Planner 22 February 1983 Proposed Lost Lake Addition Subdivision This request, is to rezone the Lost Lake property from R-1 Single Family' Residential to R-3 Two Family Residential. A review of the Mound Compre- hensive Plan shows that th6 specific area including this parcel is planned for low density residential development (about 4 units per acre). The requested rezoning to R-3 would increase this density slightly, into the range of 4 to 6 units per acre. Given the facts that: 1) land .to the immediate west of the property is currently planned and zoned for density development; 2) the remaining land to the west is wetland - unsuit- able for'urban development; and, 3) land immediately south of the property is zoned R-2, allowing single family home on 6,000 square foot lots; the requested rezoning, while not being totally consistent with the current plan, contains several Circumstances that may make it an acceptable exCep- tion to the exact details on the land use plan map. Specifically, under the Plan Policies Section, containing Plan Policies for Housing, Item "c"- states: "Establish doplex'zoning where contiguous b]ocks maintain ~n exis- ting duplex structure or vacant lot development potential".. The proposed rezoning appears to be consistent with this land use planning policy for housing proposals. There ~re several other very important issues that should be addressed before a rezoning is granted. These questions, to which the Planning Commission should request the applicant to provide answers,, include: / 1. Evidence that the soils and slope on ~he parcel (especially to the north) are suitable locations for higher density deve.)opment. 2. As there is only one street frontage on the lot, ~he p. lan has been de- ve__loped with a very long cul-de-sac (far longer than standard planning p__r[nciples suggest). This could"'lead to snowplowing problems, and traffic proble~ given the higher density and availability of only one outlet. It is strongly recommended that the developer seek a second outlet on the north side of the property. 3. Several lots are very narrow, and oddly shaped. The applicant must realize that the rezoning of the property in no .way implies approval of the pro- posed plat. A new plat review process must be started if the rezoning is approved.

The Building Official explained that she Nad talked to Mr. Veit about Outlot A and it was agreed there would be no problem dividing this' between adjoining Lots 1 and 14 so it can be maintained and will not be left unbuildable; will need to put in a outlet for drainage of~'0f that site so will take an easement for storm sewer. The sewer and water will be looped out to Maywo~d. The City Manager advised that the lift station on Bartlett had been rebuilt so it can handled the aided capacity of this proj. e~t. The one factor will be in the grade change and elevations. The other thing discussed was the possibility of shortening the cul-de-sac and connect another cul-de-sac off o~ Maywood. The City owns 300 feet between project and Maywood. City would have to put in road and extend Maywood. DiscUssed the recommendation of a maximum 600 foot cul-de- sac. Some cul-de-sacs are longer. Tree maintenance biggest problem in case of a storm. Applicant is requesting subdivision for single family dwellings.

I have reviewed them and I am amending those sections which are different from the existing code. In Subdivision A we are adding the references to the proposed rules published in the State Register. In A-1 we are indicating 1982 instead of~1979 edition. In 8 we are_adopting the 1982 in- stead of 1977 rules for Manufactured Homes. In paragraph 9 there is only one number that is being changed". In Subdivision B we are replacing 1979 Building Code with the 1982 code. In C we are re- placing UBS with the 1982 UBC and we are also adding Subsection 5 'relating to the Fire Suppression System, which is all new.

F ROM: DATE: RE: Jon Elam Sharon~5~ July 11, 1983 Auditor's Management Letter I thought I would respond to the management letter Abdo, Abdo & Eick sent as follow-up to the 1982 audit. Utility Bil.ling Adjustments [ am reviewing all adjustments made to utility, customer accounts until I am confident that all the documentation is being attached. At some point, I'll review only those over a certain dollar amount. Liquor Stor~ Cas.h Re~ister Nels is receiving a new cash register. This has a key which will be kept by me to be used to zero the cash register out once a month. The sates will be reconciled to those reported to us dally. This further improves internal control. At the same time I get the key for the new register, I'll get the key for the old register that Nels has, if possible. General Fixed Assets This has been a management letter comment for years and is also one of my goals, especially since I would like to someday submit our report to MFOA's Certificate of Conformance-program, The certificate cannot be obtained with a qualified opinion. 'My. plan ls to b.egln putti.ng together costs on our newer fixed assets this year and cont~.nually expand this, We are now keeping track of any new assets purchased. Due To/From Other Funds If you were to look at the 1981 column in the audit repoFt, you would see these due to and due froms. These'items date back to 1965 oF earlier when the state auditor performed the audit, I didn't feel it was nec- essary to re-examine these transfers assuming the auditors proper!¥ set - up the entries when they did. The rest of the letter points out some thi.ngs I think we are aware of already. Again the auditor~:: point out our low fund balance. MEMBER OF AMERICAN PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS ABDO, ABDO & EICK CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS 3500 ~FEST 80th STREET, SUITE 440 MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55431 TELEPHONE (612) 835-9090 May 18, 1983 OFFICES IN: OWATONNA BLOOMINGTON · Mayor and Council City of Mound Mound, Minnesota We have examined the financial statements of the City of Mound, Minnesota for the year ended December 31, 1982, and have issued our report thereon, dated April 19, 1983. As part of our examination, we have made a study and evaluation of the City's system of'internal accounting control to the extent we considered necessary to evaluate the system as required by generally accepted auditing standards. The purpose of our study and evaluation was to determine the nature, timing and extent of the auditing pro- cedures necessary to express an opinion on the system of internal accounting control taken as a whole. The City is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments· by management are required to assesss the 'expected benefits and related costs·of control procedures. The objectives of a system are to provide management with a reasonable, · but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of financial state- ments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations in any system of internal account- ing control, errors or irregularities may nevertheless occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the system to·future periods is subject to the risk that procedures may be- come inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the procedures may deteriorate. Our study and evaluation made for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph would not necessarily disclose all material weaknesses in the system. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the system of internal accounting control of the City, taken as a whole. However, our study and evaluation disclosed no condition which we believe could be a material weakness. The foregoing condition above was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of the audit tests to be applied in our examination of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1982, and this report of such condition does not affect our report on those financial statements dated April 19, 1983. City of Mound Page 2 The following lists other, financial and accounting matters warranting Council and/or administrative consideration.' -Utility Billing Adjustments There are several utility billing adjustments made each month as a result of final readings, incorrect readings, defective meters, etc. The adjustments documented by the utility billing clerk 'provide only the-amount of the net adjustment without 'explanation of the reason~ or additional documentation necessary to support the adjustment. .In the past, these adjustments have not been reviewed or approved by supervisory personnel. This was brought to the attentiOn of the Finance Director during the cours9 of the audit. At the completion of the audit the ' Finance Director had started implementing procedures to correct this situation. We will follow up on this during the 1983 audit. to insure that documentation is adequate and adjustments were approved. Liquor Store Cash Register The cumulative sales recorded on the Municipal Liquor Store cash registers may be erased or "zeroed out" at any time by the use of special keys. Currently, the key to one of the registers is kept by the Liquor Store Manager. We recommend that this key be kept by someone not directly associated with the handling of Liquor Store merchandise*or cash receipts. General Fixed Assets The City does not have detailed records of its general fixed assets and our opinion was qualified for that reason. Such a system should be established and physical inventqries taken periodically and compared with the detailed records. The records would provide the means to determine'losses and provide a deterrent against pilferage. It is management's intention to establish these records in 1983. Due To / From Other Funds In the prior year's management letter the auditors noted that interfund payables and receivables were carried in the various -funds and suggested the Council determine whether such balances should be repaid or considered permanent transfers. The transfers were considered temporary and repaid in 1982 without Council review. The Council should still consider whether or not any of these transfers were intended to be permanent and, if so, C{t¥ of Mound Due To / From Other Funds - continued th~ proper transfers should be adop'ted and recorded, Page 3 Follow-u~ on Prior Year ManaKement Letter Comments As part of our audit we reviewed your 1981 management letter and followed up on comments made by your previous auditors. We noted that all recommendations had been implemented during the year except those ~hat were mentioned above. Liquor Store Operatons The following is a comparison of 1982 and 1981 operations: Sales Gross Profit Gross Profit Percentage Operating Expenses Operating Income Operating Income as a Percent of Sales Increase 1982 1981 (Decrease) $715 140 $742 466 $(27 326) 177 890 189 707 (11 817) 24.87% 25.55% (.68~) 129 598 122 442 7 186 48 292 67 295 (19 003) 6.'757~ 9. 06~4 (2. 317o) The'1983 interim financial statements of the Municipal Liquor Store sh0uld be carefully reviewed and analyzed noting any continuing declines in sales, gross profit, operating, income, etc. If any continuing declines are noted management should take corrective action immediately. Utility Operations Water and Sewer statements of revenue and expenses reflect the impact of Tonka Toys usage on the operations of the Utility. Water revenue declined in 1982 by $88,706 and operating income declined by $114,235 primarily as a result of the reduced usage of Tonka Toys. Sewer revenue increased by $93,243 and operating income increased by $37,284 primarily because the City began charging Tonka Toys for usage not billed in previous years. The impact of the loss of this major user will not be .completely felt until 1984. While user rates have been increased in 1983 to compensate for this loss the utility operation should be carefully monitored to determine if rates will sufficiently cover operations and debt service requirements in the future. City of Mound Page 4 General Fund Fund Balance The fund balance in the General.Fund decreased by $18,825 in 1982 to $104,301 at year end. This is the primary operating fund of the City with 1982 expenditures of $1,360,392 for general government, public safety, public works, parks and other items. The fund balance represents 7.7% of the 1982 expenditures. This is a small balance to provide working capital, unexpected expenses, revenue shortfalls, etc. The City shoul'd continually review the fund balance and increase it to a level which provides a more adequate cushion. We would like to discuss these recommendations with you and assist' in any way we can. Thank you for the valuable assistance provided by the City'staff. Sincerely, .

In our case, Mound has the lowest per capita value on the lake. On the other hand, we only receive the seventh highest per capita aid. In fact, if we were to receive the same aid per capita as Minnetrista, there would be absolutely no difference in our mill rate and in fact could save our citizens probably 1-2% of their tax bill. I find this kind of comparative analysis fun to do and throw it into the packet on an irregular basis as I come across something interesting.

At its meeting of July 8, 1983, the State Cable Board cer- tified the Cable Television Franchise for the city of Mound. It is time no~ for the ccmpany to pay the city of Mound for all of its cable related franchising expenses. Please forward to me the total due to the city of Mound. I will incorporate my m~st reoent billings, contact you regarding the total, and for- ward that information to Dcw-Sat of Minnesota. I will be out of the office until July 27, 1983. 'However, upon my return, we will discuss with Do~-Sat the possibility of a closing oer~nony at which time ~the construction of this system can be formerly kicked-off and the check can be presented to the city. A personal thank you for the high level of leadership and the many hours of work you have put in to developing an outstanding cable system for the city of Mound. As you know, I have worked with numerous municipalities, and can I state that the city of Mound should be extremely proud of the work you have done to make the franchising process of the city of Mound a n~del for the state both in substance and efficiency. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. S incer e]v. Thcmas D.

Although people are seldom seriously affected by these tiny blooms, they can cause death to animals Marjorie Borehard MmNEso'r^'s lakes provide sites for homes and cabins, and they are also home to a vast number of plants and animals. One group of plants.-- algae -- occurs in .virtually all lakes, but its concentration varies considerably from lake to lake. Algae are micro- scopic, free-floating plants. They're most abundant during warm weath- er in water that is hard (containing a high mineral level), alkaline, and rich in nutrients like phosphorous and nitrogen which fertilize aquatic plants as they do crops and lawns. Under certain environmental condi- tions, algae multiply very rapidly. JULY-AUGuST 1983 One type, blue-green algae, can be- come toxic to pets and livestock drinking water from a lake. Special characteristics of blue- green alg.ae allow it to grow and multiply l~aster than other types of algae. Some kinds of blue-green algae use nitrogen from the air as well as from the water. This ability gives them an advantage over other types of algae which depend on ni- trogen in the water. Blue-green algae use 'sunlight more efficiently than most algae. Built-in gas vacuoles -- pockets of gas ~ enable them to float, t/nlike other algae. The vacuoles allow blue-green algae to rise above other algae and out-compete them for sun- light. In nutrient-rich I'akes, blue-green algae can become so abundant that they dominate other free-floating plants in a lake and produce a dramatic change in the appearance of the water called an "algae bloom." Algae bloom causes a lake to be- come less transparent. As the algac accumulate in large floating mats 47 ! Toxic Algae bloom should also be avoided if its color changes from green to a thick blue-green, or to a green, paint-like scum. Defer swimming and water- skiing and provide livestock and pets with water from a different source. Often tile bloom can be avoided by moving tile livestock or water sport to the opposite side of tile lake. 'If you suspect that an animal has been affected by an algae bloom, contact a veterinarian as quickly as possible. Some toxins that form in a bloom ]lave the ability to kill in an hour or less while some may take up to 24 hours to take effect. For more information on toxic algae, call the Minnesota Pollution' Coiltrol Agency, 612-296-7256, or' tile Departme'nt of Natural Re- sources, Division of Fish and Wild- life, at its toll-free number: 1-800- 652-9747.

Successful Species: End Product of Unceasing Evolutfon "NOTHINC -- not mountains nor sea nor shore nor rocks -- is exactly the same on two successive days. The dmnges may be imperceptible to us but they are there. Lichens are working on granite. Death is replacing life. Leaves are expanding and leaves are wilting. The world is never finished. Everything is going up or going down around us. The things we see most often, the species that are endlessly repeated in individuals, are the successes, the end product of unceasing/~volution." -- Edwin Way Teale, A Walk Through the Year 5O Sr ~r ~r Used Crankcase Oil: Disposing of the Messy Stuff E^cH ¥~:^1~, Minnesotans dump one million gallons of used crankcase oil into trash cans or pour it on the ground, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency estimates. The practice, which is against state law, wastes an energy resource and is harmful to the environment. Used oil contains many contaminants. Once on the ground, it may eventual- ly find its way into Minnesota's lakes and rivers. Some may reach groundwater froin'which drinking water is drawn. Only a small amount of oil fouls the taste of thousands of gallons of water. The proper place for used crankcase oil is in a used-oil recycling tank. Minnesota law requires all retailers who sell motor oil to either provide a tank to dispose of used oil or post a notice saying where such a tank is located. Old oil is picked up and refined for re-use as a fuel or lubricant. One gallon of used motor oil makes 2V~ quarts of lubricating oil, the same amouut produced from 42 gallons of crude oil. THE M~NNESOTA VOLUNTEER July 7, 1983 Chris Bollis Park and Recreation City of Mound 5341 51aywood Road Mound, MN 55364 COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH MANAGEMENT GROUP SUites 202-206 32 Tenth Avenue South Hopkins, Minnesota 55343 Dear Mr. Bollis: We received a call from you on June 21, 1983 concerning Pembroke B,,ach on I,ake Minnetonka in the City of Mound. Several swimmers had contracted a pustule type rash similar to chicken pox after swimming at the beach. ~other person working on a dock near the beach also broke out in a rash after standing in the water for a fairly long period of time. You had made inquiries of the Department of Natural Resources to find out whether any i~rmJts i]ad been issued for using chemical weed killers in the area. This did not seem to be the case. It was determined that this beach area is heavily populated with ducks and geese. This strongly suggests that the rash may have been due to schistosomiasis, known ;~s :.~im]ners itch. The itch is caused by a snail larvae burru,;,ing into the skin. '"kc intermediate host for the snail .is not man, but different st)c~ies.of waterfowl. l'he larvae are particularly prevalent in the water during the early summer time. The Community Health Department sampled the water at this beach on June 22, 1983 for microbiological testing with the following results. Coliform organisms Fecal streptococci Pseudomonas Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 3 480 540 520 160 140 390 Neg. Neg. Neg. These results indicate that the water is rather heavily contaminated with organisms which are found-in the feces of animals and humans, most probably mainly from waterfowl. It is our recommendation that the beach be posted as a possible hazard from swimmers itch, and swimming classes be moved to a non-problem area. If you have any questions, please call us at 935-1544. ~incerely,/~. [~ .Tf roan A.

LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITIES A major priority of the AMM is to provide representation (iobbyi~g) for the common interests of its member cities to the state legislature agencies and executive. The AMM has 86 adopted legislative policies or positions for the 1983-84 legislative biennium. Of these 86 policies, over one-half have been partially or completely accomplished in the first session of the biennium. These policies were the result of many hours of work by the five AMM standing policy committees (General Legislation, Housing, Metropolitan Agencies, Municipal Revenues and Transportation), Board of Directors, and Staff. Space does not allow for a detailed description of all items but a partial listing includes the Hazardous Waste Superfund Act (Chapter 121) which provides a $5,000,000 start-up appropriation to initiate clean-up activities in a number of AMMmember cities which contain hazardous waste sites which are causing pollution problems. The AMM, along with other interested groups was able to keep caps on municipal liability in this act even though such caps were opposed by the Governor's office. The deadline for establishing surface water management organizations in compliance with the 1982 Surface Water Management Act was extended from December 31, 1983 to June 30, 1984 subject to approval by the Metropolitan Council. Several positive changes were made to levy limits but we did not get as much relief as we had hoped to. The new limit is tied to the implicit price deflator index with a floor of 5%. The new base also includes levy plus aids and is increased by commercial/ industrial growth and either population or household increases which- ever is greater. Cities under 5000 population are excluded from Chapter 275.50 limits totally. The coefficient of dispersion penalty implementation was delayed for two more years and additional investment options for city funds were made available. Along with other organizations and groups, the AMMwas successful in opposing such measures as the public works day labor bill, statewide general contractors licensing and the attorney general bond consul bill. The AMM standing policy committees will start meeting in early September to develop new or modify existing policy for 1984. (For a more complete analysis of the legislative activity, see appendix A). POLICY REPRESENTATION AT THE METROPOLITAN LEVEL A second major AMM priority is to advocate in a united effort, city concerns with respect to the policies and programs of the Metropolitan Council and Metropolitan Commissions. The AMM had a very active and successful year at the' metropolitan level. -2- III. Last summer the AMM was instrumental in getting the proposed regional plan for Surface Water Management modified to be consistent with AMM policy and the wishes of the cities. The AMM, particularly the Metropolitan'Agencies Committee, worked very closely with the Metropolitan Council Staff in developing a program and guidelines for a comprehensive planning interest free loan program at the Metropolitan Level. A 'number of AMMmember cities have taken advantage of the program. The AMM staff has also been working very closel~with the Metropolitan Council Staff and its Solid Waste Advisory Committee in developing a report for the Legislature containing recommendations for reducing the adverse impacts of new waste facilities and compensating con~nunities that host such facilities. The AMM in concert with a number of member cities succeeded in getting a number of modifications to the Regional Transportation Policy Plan to make the end product more acceptable to the municipal interests. The coming year should also prove to be a very interesting and active year for the AMM and its member cities at the metro level. With newlchairpersons and almost totally new memberships at the Metropolitan Council and Metropolitan Commissions, its hard to predict what might, happen. Early signs seem to indicate that the new metropolitan leaders favor some expansion of authority at the metropolitan level. Needless to say, any expansion of metro authority would come at the expense of other levels of government. ~The AMM will remain very alert to new proposals! SUPPLEMENTAL SERVICES The AMM, in addition to its lobbying activities, also provides a number of support services to its member cities including education and research type activities. The AMM sponsored or co-sponsored several seminars and conferences during the past year which were well attended. More than 250 persons attended the Surface Water Management implementation seminar last August. In September, more than 100 city officials gathered at the Hopkins House to learn more about the operations of the MWCC. The purpose of that conference was to gain a better understanding'of the MWCC operations and what city officials and others can do to hold down the costs of wastewater treatment. The Housing Conference co-sponsored with the Metropolitan Council in St. Paul last October attracted about 125 city officials. The thrust of this conference was to explore techniques and programs in which the public and private sectors can work together to produce lower cost housing. The AMM and the Coalition for Sensible Land Use conducted a sem/nar in April to enhance better private - public cooperation in the development process. The AMM also provided a number of'direct services to its member cities . including the Metropolitan Area Salary Survey, the Elected Officials Salary Survey and an updated version of the Municipal Fee and License Survey. The AMM Housing Comm/ttee also undertook a major study of the "Accessory Housing" issue and prepared a report which was approved by the Board of Directors and mailed to member cities in April. The AMM continued its financial support for the ongoing, coordinated labor relations effort in the 7-County Metropo!it Area.'. IV. Last but not least, the AMM continued to provide the secretarial/administrative support for the Metropolitan Area Management Association (MAMA) and represented the metropolitan cities on various metropolitan and state level advisory committees. (208 Water Quality, Chairmans Advisory Committee, State Shad~ Tree Advisory Committee, State Reform of Government Task Force, etc.)l MEMBERSHIP, FINANCES AND BUDGET The AMM gained three new member cities and reached a membership high of 66 cities containing nearly 90% of all the people living in cities in the 7-county metropolitan area. The AMM has been in existance for nine years and its membership has grown from 54 to 66 cities. The AF~4 budget, during this same period of time, has increased slightly less than 6% per year in contrast to an average annual increase of over 9% in the general inflation rate. It should also be noted that as a percentage of LMC dues, the AMM dues rate has decreased from a high of 60% in 1979 to 47% for 1983-84. The decrease in AMM dues as a percentage of LMC dues is a result of membership growth, high earnings on investments and very careful monitoring and control of expenditures. Services provided to member cities have also increased during this period of time. The AMM began membership year 1982-83 with a fund reserve of $53,027 and ended the year with a fund reserve of slightly over $61,000. The AMM Board and Staff will continue its ongoing efforts to attract new members. (See appendix B for more detailed budget and financial details). A LOOK AHEAD TO 1983-84 As the AMM begins its 10th. year of operatiou,we must always remain alert to turn challenges and potential problems into opportunities for success. While the general economy seems to be improving---periods of economic stress, for the majority of cities will probably continue. The legislature seems more and more inclined .to become more deeply involved in the internal management of local government activities. As indicated elsewhere in this report, there are still several bills "alive" in the legislature which would further restrict the ability of cities to manage their internal affairs. Additionally, there are sure to be proposals relative to the structure and powers of the Metropolitan Council and Commissions which may not be acceptable to officials of local units of government. Further, as a result of the actions taken at the LMC Convention in early June, we might see profound changes in the operation and interrelationship between the LMC and its affiliates such as the ]LMM. None of the above is intended to sound pesimistic or be a prediction of doom and gloom. Quite to the contrary-- each potential probl'em or challenge can have a positive end result for the AMM and its member cities. If cities continue to work together for their common interests when there is agreement and disagree without being disagreeable when there are legitimate differences--the cities and the AMM will both be strengthened enabling more efficient service to the residents of the 7-county area.

Metropolitan Agencies Committee 'Considers legislative issues and non-legislative issues related to the Metropolitan Council and Metropolitan Commissions. The Co.~ittee also looks at the structure and interrelationships of the Council and Commissions and the relationship between these regional entities and local units of government. The Committee also reviews amendments to the Metropolitan Development Guide Chapters and any new chapters developed. In pmst years, t~e Committee has developed policy on land use planning, metropolitan significance, amendment procedures for comprehensive plans, and administrative procedures of the Council. 2. Municipal Revenues Co~nittee Considers any matter concerning revenues, taxes, and city expenditures. Included are state aid formulas, state aid dollars, levy limits, property tax assessments, tax increment financing, fiscal disparities, and re-development funding methods. The -2- Committee will be looking very carefully at the effects of the state aid formula, levy limit modifications, and other pertinent issues as they develop. 3. Housing Committee Concerns itself with all issues related to housing including subsidized housing, affordable housing, and activities of the Metropolitan HRA.

Newsletter Fixed income securities suffered significant price drops (increases in interest rates) in May. The general increase is attributable to the huge federal deficit, the concomitant, monetized, federal borrowing, and the inflationary fears generated. But the extraordinary increase in tax-exempt yields is due to a proposed Federal rule that after July I tax-exempt bonds must be registered or become taxable and this induced a great influx of bond issues. Funny (not so funny) how a couple of bureau- crats, proposing a rule, can have such devastating effects. The Bond Buyer Index of 20-bond, 20-year yields rose from 8.78% in early May to 9.78% on June 3. Registration will not be as burdensome as many believe, given the state of the art in computers and communications. The large, fancy-bordered, semi-annual interest coupon bonds have their own problems of multiple processings, errors, storage and delivery. Initial costs may be higher but, in the long run, eliminating the manual processing of tens of billions of dollars of bonds will reduce costs. Local governments can be their own registrars but there is apprehension that the list df owners will become public information which might seriously impair their market. Initially, issuer registration is probably not wise. Back on deficits and inflation: The Williamsburg meeting re-emphasized that the dollar is the world currency and that deficits inflate, not only our currency, but other currencies and raise interest rates which, worldwide, is the most serious damper on economic recovery. But President Reagan re- sists early reduction of deficits--for a good reason: Unless Congress can agree on substantial spending cuts, the only way the deficit can be reduced is to raise income taxes which would further increase our production costs. We can't hold our own in the United States let alone in world mar- kets. What if we raise costs further by increasing the income tax on production? A Catch 22--or is it? The income tax is a huge tax on.the means of production, not only on capital (until recently taxable interest rates were almost 100% higher than tax-exempt rates), but on labor and management, and this tax, added at each step of production, increases the cost of our products and services. Further in- creasing costs are the overwhelming legal, accounting, managerial and clerical expenses required to administer, enforce and to comply with an incredibly complex income tax. Burdened by huge production taxes, our goods and services simply cannot compete. Is it clear that the form of our taxes materially affects our competitive position? Would it be much smarter to. impose the tax at the end of production--at the retail level? We would then tax consump- tion of foreign as well as domestic products to pay for our governmental programs. Regressive? Well, what's so progressive about inflation and unemployment? What's progressiv~ about our income tax increasing the cost of our products while the domestic consumers of foreign products are exempt? We must look at the form of our tax structure if we are to eliminate the deficits and be competitive.

On June 30, 19S3, the Minnesota Public ~tilities Commission (the Cor~ission) issued its Or,er Accepting Filing and Suspending Rates. Under M. S. § 237.075, su~d. 3, the Co.~.ission is required to order a schedule of interim rates ~o be charged by the C~mpany while its rate request is under review. The Comnission concludes that a schedule of interim rates producing $4,785,629 of a~ditional revenue is required. Continental will be ordered to apply a 22.4% increase to local service revenues ~or service rendered on and after July 26, 1923, so as to recover the interim rate increase ordered herein. The Commission will determine,' on or before ~arch 27, 1954, the level of final rates to be ci~arged by the Company. If the Commission determines that the interim rates are in excess of the final rates, the Co~rnission will order the Company to refund, with interest, the excess amount collected un,er interim rates, according to the Company's Agreement and'Undertaking to refund excess rates. The Company requested an interim rate increase of $~,976,515, based upon a jurisdictional rate base of $24,O29,201, a rate of return of 10.30%, and net operating income of $6,391,685. The Co.~r~ission has reviewed the Company's filing and makes the following findings: An overall rate of return of 10.30% is appropriate for interim rates, . , ra~ of based upon the Company's proposed test year cost of capital and the ~ return on co~,mon equity authorized in its most recent rate proceeding. A rate base of $84,029,201 is appropriate for interim rates, based upon the Company's proposed test year rate base consistent with items of rate base allowed 0y the Commission order in Continental's most recent general rate proceeding. The Company's requested net operating income is not appropriate because i~ includes $176,874 for a five-year amortization of station connections - inside wire which was denied by the Co.,~.ission in Continental Telephone Company, Ddcket NO. P-407/M-83-31 (May 13, 1983). Ins:ead, ~ne interim rates should reflect the amortization rate used in the last rate proceeding, therefore, the Commission .rill disallow the inclusion of this amortization in interim rates and will paso the interim rate revenue deficiency on net operating income of $6,558,562. ORDER l. Continental is hereby authorized to collect $4,7~5,629 in additional annual revenues as interim ra:es to oe recovered from services as descriDed'in the above findings, bejinning 'with Oil. ls for service rendered on and after July 26, 1923. 2. Within seven deys of the service date of this Order, Continental shall file 'with the Co~mission interim tariff sheets and supporting documentation reflecting the decisions herein. 3. Continental shall ~eep records of sales an~ billings un,er interim rates such that any potential refund can be determined by computing what each customer's bill wou!~ have been during the refund period i~ad the finally ordered rates been in effect and subtracting such amount from the amount actually paid by each customer during that period. Continental shall make suci~ reports to tile Com, mission on a monthly basis, 20 days after each monthly billing. The refund shall be made within 120 days of the effective date of the Coy.~ission's Order in a manner approved by the Cc~ission. 4. This Order shall become effective i~eeiately. ~Y ORD£R OF ~qE COMMISSION JUL .7 1983 (SEAL) BEFOR:_ THE MIN~ESOTA PL'PLIC UTiLiTi£S Terry Hoffman Leo G. Adams Roger L. Hanson Juanita R.

Kathy Farris Program Assistant Six purchase of service ride programs have received Title IIIB funds from the Hennepin County Transportation Coordination Program to pro- vide rides to senior citizens in Hennepin County. They are: Organization Date Begun $.Awarded Community Emergency Assistance Program (CEAP)-.---Oct. 1982 East Side Neighborhood Services ---Dec. 1982 Minneapolis Age & OpPortunity Center ............. Jan. 1983 Minneapolis American Indian Center--- Oct. 1982 North Memorial Medical Center - Senior Ride Program. Oct. 1982 Westonka Community Services -Oct. 1982 $ 2,000 $ 5,000 $ 7,000 $ 9',649 $10,125 $11,465 Since eaCh program's inception, 12,801 total one-way trips have been provided. An extensive amount of staff and advisory council time was spent in the implementation of these six new subcontract programs. 'Staff and advisory council continue to monitor each program and offer technical assistance and support. In addition, arrangements were made to lease at no cost two maxivans through Volunteers of America (VOA). These vans are currently being used in the Westonka Community Services and North Memorial Medical Center Senior Ride Programs. The Community Sensitivity Subcommittee developed "Identification cards" for display, in social service transportation vehicles. Nearly 300 cards have been distributed to 15 organizations. A "Hospital Information Packet" including information on entrances and parking'areas of 14 area hospitals was developed for use by drivers of social service transportation programs. In addition, eight hospitals indicated they would be more flexible with vehicles displaying the "Identification Card" mentiond above. An updated edition of the listing "Transportation Services for Senior Citizens ~n Hennepin County" was developed and distributed ih January 1983. The "Northwest Suburban Coordination Project" was begun to study senior transportation needs and the availability of existing resources in Brooklyn Center, Crystal, New Hope, Robbinsdale and Golden Valley. The result of this project will be recommendations from which program activities will be implemented, some of which have already begun. Two articles on senior citizen transportation were presented in the "Community" section of the Minneapolis Star & Tribune, one on November 24, 1982 and one on March 31,~ 1983. The "Vehicle Inventory Project" (VIP) was begun in April to inven- tory the vans and busses utilized ~_~ corportations and churches in · Hennepin County and to determin~o-{~eir possible utilization in senior transportation programs. A University of Minnesota intern is cur- fently undertaking this project~w~%ch should be completed in June. The Program sponsored a "Metro Mobility Information Work~hop" in December 1982 which was attended by 32 individuals representing 26 organizations. o The Program, in conjunction with the Home-delivered Meals and In- Home Chore Coordination Programs, sponsored a seminar entitled "Building Partnerships: Social Services and the Religious Community" in April 1983. Over 70 people attended. The "South Suburban Hennepin County Needs Assessment" was begun to study .senior transportation needs, determine availability of existing resources and make recommendations. Target area includes Richfield, Bloomington, Edina and Eden Prairie. 11. Staff worked with the Golden Valley Senior Club to arrange group trips in conjunction with the North Memorial Senior Ride Program. 12. Staff ga~e presentations on transportation services av.ailable in their areas to four senior hi-rise groups (one north Minneapolis, southeast Minneapolis, south Minneapolis and New Hope hi-rise). 13. The Program Manager moderated a panel discussion in March on trans- portation services available in St. Louis Park. Thirty-two (32) seniors attended the program, which was videotaped for cable television. 14. Advisory Council members developed and approved council bylaws. 15. 16. The Program Manager was appointed to the Metro Mobility Advisory Task Force. Thirty-nine (39) transportation providers were surveyed to assess the total number of one-way trips each provided to seniors in 1982. The total estimated number was 263,579. 18. A listing of driver training resources was developed and distributed in January 1983. Staff continue to disseminate service area maps and other transporta- tion materials and provide referral information on transportation services.· /~ I .

The one major concern that had not been addressed so far was a formal analysis of the existing buildings within the district to insure the legal requirements under M.S. 273.73, Subd. 10 are being met. Last week a structural engineer with the City Planner and Jan spent three hours walking around and through each building. The report on the analysis should be available this next week. The formal definitions that need to be met are the following: (Section 273.73, Subdivision 10) 1. 70 percent o~ the parcels in the district are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities or other improvements and more than 50 percent of the buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance; or 70 percent of the parcels in the district are occupied by buildings, street, utilities or other improvements and 20 percent of the buildings are found to require substantial renovation or clearance in order to remove such existing conditions as: inadequate street layout, incompatible uses or land use relationships, overcrowding of buildings on the land, excessive dwelling unit density, obsolete buildings not suitable for improvement or conversion, or other identified hazards to the health, safety and general wellbeing of the community; or Less than 70 percent of the parcels in the district are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities or other improvements, but due to unusual terrain or soil deficiencies requiring substantial filling, grading or other physical preparation for use at least 80 percent of the total acreage of such land has a fair market value upon inclusion in the redevelopment district which, when added to the estimated cost of preparing that land for development, excluding costs directly related to roads as defined in section 160.01 and local improvements as described in section 429.021, subdivision l, clauses 1 to 7, 11 and 12, and section 430.01, if any, exceeds its anticipated fair market value after compietion of said preparation; provided that no parcel shall be included within a redevelopment district pursuant to this paragraph (3) unless the authority has concluded an agreement or agreements for the development of at least 50 percent of the acreage having the Page 2 City Council July 15, 1983 unusual soil or terrain deficiencies, which agreement provides recourse for the authority should the development not be completed. Once this is completed and the project is found to have a legal foundation to proceed then we can begin the formal development and required financing and redevelopment plans. All of this, I think, ties nicely with the Joint Meeting Wednesday evening, July 20th with the HRA. On a separate front, the Street Car Boat Center notified Tonka that they will be exercising their option to buy the corner lot at County Road 15 and Cypress. Although closing hasn't yet occurred, that does signify a strong continuing interest in developing the Lost Lake area. JE:fc CITY of MOUND 5341 MAYWOOD ROAD MOUND, MINNESOTA 55364 (612) 472-1155 July 19, 1983 TO: FROM: RE: CITY COUNCIL CITY MANAGER SELECTING A FINANCIAL CONSULTANT Recently Sharon and I have been explOring various proposals from financial consultants relating to bond financing for the water improvements, tax increment project and even the Public Works garage. Initially I thought I might just continue to work with Miller & Schroeder, the City's long time advisor, but recently several other firms have asked to be considered as the City's Financial Consultant. With that in mind, I am wondering if we might develop a Request for Proposals (RFP) and let the firms make a formal pitch to the City to provide us with services. We could set up a Committee consisting of members from the Council, Staff and community (4-5 people).to interview and listen to the proposals, or the Staff could interview and make a recommendation to the Council and accompany it with a formal presentation. Of the two ideas, I like the group one better because of the comparative educat'ional value that will come out of a comparative process. Please let me know your interests or thoughts.
