CITY FINANCES = INTERESTED CITIZENS ~RES.EN?ATION Steve Smith, '2616 Tyrone spoke on behalf of the "Pre-Budget Review Association" and read the following Petition: "We, the undersigned, desire that any budget of a taxing authority affecting residents of Mound, Minnesota be subject to review by a co~mittee of persons selected from the undersigned, prior to adoption by any taxing authority, and that such c~,~.mittee be given an opportunity to present its position to such taxing authority prior to the adoption of a budget for the next year." He further stated that this group is tired of ever increasing costs in City government and of major concern are City employee's salaries. He stated that they are asking for no salary increases in 1984 for the 39 er 40 City employees. He further stated that they feel the City Manager's increase in salary last year was out of line when the increase was from $30,000 to $37,000. Wayzata's City kianager's salary is $34,000 and they feel Mound should also be at that level. He stated that this is not a radical idea and they feel the Council has the burden of seeing that there is no increase in City ·costs. The group would like to receive all Budget material that the Council receives so that they can review it. M@yor Polston asked if they wished to submit their submitted the Petition with 17 names and addresses. 145 August 23, 1983 Petition. Mr. Smith Mayor Polston explained that the City Council will hold a public meeting on the Budget on September 7, 1983, at 7:30 P.M. Budget information will be available to the group after Labor Day. The Council will welcome input fram citizens at that public meeting and will consider their ideas, but the the City Council will be responsible for all final decisions on the Budget. Councilmember Peterson stated that he thought it was good to have citizen input on the Budget, but that they should not single out one area in the Budget to cut. He reminded the group that Wayzata has only 3,450 citizens and Mound has close to 9,500. ' Herb Wo!ner stated that he has been a citizen in Mound since 1945 ~nd is very 'concerned with the number of businesses that have closed in the past two years, i.e. Ms. Print, Rainbow Crafts, Jean's Elete Repeat, No Frills, Sally's Shop, etc. He feels the reasons for the closings are because of the tax burden and all the tax exempt property in Mound, i.e. churches, schools,etc. Co~ncilmember Jessen reminded the group that the City receives the smallest amount of their property taxes and that they should also be attending the ~ Budget Hearings that will soon be going on at Hennepin County. Mayor Polston stated that Mound red,ced its mill rate last year by -3.229 .. · ~lls while the School Dist. increased their mill rate 4.370. At the same time the City reduced its Staff by 20%. Mayor Polston stated that when the final adoption of the budget occurs it will be in the best interests of all the citizens of Mound and the entire City. Co~ncilmember Peterson suggested that the Staff prepare some transparencies ..on tax information for the budget hearing in order to give the public a clearer understanding of City finances.

KEN STORKE - 47.62 Manchester Road - Asked for the definition of'a zero lot line twin home. The City Attorney explained that it is a two family dwelling that may be divided into single parcels of record with one common wall. Then each would be separate tax parcels. There are convenants, conditons and restrictions put on this type of dwelling so that one owner may not paint his side one color and the other another color, etc. Mr. Storke the asked what the side yard setbacks would be for this twinhome. The Building Inspector stated the setbacks would be 50 feet. Mr. Storke also asked who would be responsible for the extensions of the se~er and street. The City Attorney stated that according to the proposed resolution, the developer would have to pay for both. GRANT O'HAIR - 4725 RICH~DND RD. ~ Stated that he lives north of the property proposed for the twinhome and he has submitted a letter to the-- Council requesting that the sewer and water mains not be extended in Dorchester Rd. as he can see no need for this on his property, no~ or in the future... JOHN CARLETON - 4757 RICHMO~D RD. - Asked if this twinhome was going to be rental property or sold to individual proper%y owners. He further stated that he does not want rental property in his neighborhood. Mr. Gehring stated that the twinhome is being bull% with the idea of selling each unit to an individua~ property owner. The City Attorney noted that the Council has not legal authority to say what kind of people can rent or o~n in the City of Mound. The only item we are dealing ~ith here has to do with zoning, zero lot line and a conditional use permit. JOHN CARLETON- Then stated that he is not for the:issuance of a conditional use permit for the twinhome because he feels it would brings single family dwelling values down.

The City Manager stated that he didn't think so but the Building Inspector will check. Mr. Young also asked if it was the owners responsibility to care for the Property? The City Attorney stated yes unless it is rented and then it usually states in the lease that it is the renters responsibility. KEN STORKE - Asked who determines the zoning in an area? The Mayor [eplied that the Council does this on the recommendations of the Planning Commission after a comprehensive plan has been approved. GREG WARREN - 2935 Devon - Stated that he would like to change the zoning in the neighborhood not to allow rentals. PATZY D'AVIA -~Eagle Lane - Stated that if the City did that they would be open to litigation. Councilmember Paulsen asked Mr. Gehring what the dimensions of the lots are and where they would be placed on the lot. Mr. Gehring responded that there are two parcels, each 80' x 80' and that all the structure setbacks would comply with R-3 zoning. The Mayor closed the public hearing. Mr. Paul Young, stated that until he came to the Council Meeting tonight he didn't realize what zero lot line twinhomes were and now that he knows he would like to withdraw the petition he submitted earlier. The City Clerk gave Mr. Youhg the petition back. Peter~on moved and Paulsen seconded the following.resolution: RESOLUTION #83-142 RESOLUTION TO CONCUR WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE ZERO 'LOT LINE TWIN- HOMES ON LOTS 6,'7,8 AND 9, BLOCK IO, WYCHWOOD ADDI- TION (PID #19-117-23 32 01OO & 0101) The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. The City Council then took a break and returned to session in 10 minutes. Mr. Gehring asked to be recognized and stated that he had not seen a copy of Resolution #83-142 before it was passed and he objected to numbers 5 and 6 in that resolution that deals with the sewer and water extensions. He does not want to extend these services because of the cost and the fact that no one else will benefit. The City Engineer stated that if Public Works is satisfied with a four inch line for the twinhome that is alright with them and if Mr. O'Hair does not intend to develop any lot he owns. The City Engineer then drew a map based on page 2096 on the blackboard and explained, that if the sewer and water were extended, it would require digging up a new street. 148 · . August 23, 1983 Councilmember Peterson asked Mr. Gehring if he could estimate the cost of extending the sewer? Mr. Gehring replied approximately $6500 including road restoration. The City Engineer stated that his estimate for the utility work was about $3000 and $1000 for road restoration. : Councilmember Paulsen stated that he has a problem with the fact that Mr. O'Hair could acquire Lot 26 (a tax forfeit lot adjoining his) and then he would benefit from the sewer and water and not have to pay for it: The Mayor asked if the Council wanted to change Resolution #83-142 adopted earlier. Councilmember Paulsen moved and Peterson seconded a motion to reconsider Resolution #83t!42 adopted earlier. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.

Councilmember Paulsen asked the Planner if these lots were built on would they conform with the City's Wetlands Ordinance. The Planner stated probably so.but the Minnehaha Watershed District would also have to review any plans. Councilmember Jessen asked if the 3 proposed double bungelows were built would they be in conformance. The applicant's representative, Tom Bergquist answered yes. Councilmember Jessen also noted that the lot line between lots 1 and 2 appears to be incorrect at 107' Mr. Bergquist stated that it must be a transposition of numbers and should probably be 170' The Mayor ·opened the public' hear ng and asked for comments from the public.

'Mr. Bergquist stated yes and they would have to come back to the Planning Commission and City Council for a Conditional Use Permit.

They are planning on building a home on that lot. They have submitted a letter agreeing not to hold the City of Mound responsible for maintaining the driveway, providing city polowing services nor any damage incurred by water run off or storms. They are asking that the City continue' to maintain the storm drainage system previously installed under a portion of Forest Lane. The City. Attorney was consulted about the legality of this letter and he stated that he would prefer to prepare a document incorporating the items in the letter and have it signed and filled on the property. ~56 Paulsen moved and Peterson seconded the following resolution: RESOLUTION #83-148 RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE REQUEST TO USE THE UNIMPROVED FOREST LANE AS A DRIVEWAY ACCESS TO LOT 1, BLOCK 4, MOUND TERRACE & AUTHORIZING THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE A DOCUMENT TO PROTECT THE CITY WHICH WILL BE FILED ON THE PROPERTY The vote was unanimously in favor.

CASE NO. 83-246 - DON J.:ENGLISH - Ely 100' OF'THE Wly 160' LOT 28, AUDITOR'S SUBDIVISION 170 - LOT SPLIT FINAL SUBDIVISION The City Manager explained that Mr. English has requested a variance of lot width from 60 feet to 25.O1 feet at the improved public right-of-way to provide a deeded driveway, utility and public vehicle access to the lot. closest to the lake. 'This variance would come after the final subdivision of the lot. Mr. Paul Pond was present representing.Mr. English and stated that Mr. English is requesting this subdivision and v~riance because the site has an excessive depth to the lakeshore from Bartlett Blvd. Each lot would meet the minimum .square footage criterian for single family homes. The City Manager stated that the Planning Commission recommended denial of the subdivision request. Councilmember PeteKson asked if this type of sobdivision had been done before along'Bartlett Blvd. The City Manager answered that this type of subdivision has been done before and variances granted for frontage of less than 60 feet. The one he remembered was Scruton's. Councilmember Paulsen asked if 2 docks wouid be allowed on thls property. The City Manager replied, yes according to LMCD rules there can be two docks per 1OO feet of lakeshore. Mr. Pond stated that the dock situation would have to worked out between the owners of parcel A & B, not the City. Mrs. Tessmer asked to be recognized and presented the City Attorney will a copy of the Contract for Deed that Mr. English signed when he purchased the property. This document stated that the intent when selling was that the lot would not be subdivided. The City Attorney asked if this was included in the Deed when it was filed. Mr. Tessmer-stated yes. Councilmember Peterson asked about any drainage problems that might ocurr. Mr. English stated that the'drainage is in the easement that will allow the owner of parcel A access to the lakeshore. He further stated that there was never a drainage problem before when the Tessmer house was on this property. September 6, 1983 The City Attorney stated that if this property is platted according to the Subdivision 0rdinance,'the subdivider would have to provide ,plans for drain- age, etc. Mr. English stated that he has spent $650.00 on soil testing and the report states that there is not serious drainage problems. Mr. Tessmer stated that Mr. Scruton,. who was granted a variance some time ago for a similar subdivision, does not inted to use it now because he wants the neighborhood to remain as it is. Mr. Pond stated that'it is impractical for Mr. English to own a lot of this length and square footage and leave it as one lot because the taxes are $3,690 per year and it is an economic necessity for him to subdivide and sell. Mayor Polston stated that he has consistently voted no to proposals like this because the City then creates a nonconforming lot. Councilmember Charon agreed. Charon moved and Paulsen seconded a motion to have the City Attorney prepare a finding of fact and a resol.ution denying the request to subdivide and the "variance because it would be creating a nonconforming lot and because of the topography of the land.

MILL POND STORM DRAINAGE - REPORT FROM ENGINEER The City Engineer reviewed a letter he had written to the City dated September l, 1983. In this letter he gave 2 alternatives for solving the drainage problem in Mill Pond. The Engineer is recommending Alternate A-, because Alternate B (installing storm sewer) would be too costly and the Minnehaha Watershed District will not allow the pond to be eliminated. Alternate A is as follows: Ihis would allow reshaping, cleaning and straightening the existing ditch which flows to the south. The existing ditch grade is very uneven and curves around at the end to avoid some brush and small trees. For a cost of $1,200 to $1,500 the existing ditch could be rebuilt and solve most of the drainage problems in the area.

The City Engineer reported that while at one of the above meetings the resident who's driveway is adjacent to the catch basins in the curve at the intersection of Highview Land ~nd Bay Ridge Road informed him that there is a problem with water overflowing the curb in this area. The Engineer's calculations show that the capacity of the two catch basin inlet grates are below that of a 5 year storm. The solution here would be to add another catch basin, the of which would be in the range of $1,200 to $1,500. 160 September 6, 1983 Paulsen moved and Peterson seconded a motion to authorize the City Engineer to install another catch basin and two new grates to control the water overflow problem at the intersection of Highview Lane and Bay Ridge Road at a..~cost of between $1200 to $1500.

Francene C. Clark, City Clerk CITY OF MOUND Mound, Minnesota Planning Commission Agenda of August 29, 1983: Board of'Appeals Applicant: Case No. 83-250 Richard Heggemeyer Location: Beachwood Road & Bartlett Blvd. 220 W. 90th Street Legal Desc.: Lots 17-22, Part of Lots Bloomington, MN. 55420 2-3, 24 & 28, Lots 25-27, Phone: 884-0044 Auditor's Subdivision 168 454-7999 Request: Preliminary Subdivision Zoning District: R-1 Proposal: The applicant, Mr. Heggemeyer, is requesting plat approval for 7 lots on the south side of Beachwood Road. In December, 1978, he received preliminary plat approval just after the Beachwood Road improvement. The preliminary approval expired before he submitted a final plat. He is again requesting a plat approval. Site: The site has been recently graded.with most of the vegetation removed. It slopes approximately 15 feet from the rear lot lines to Beachwood street grade. Areas of the property are below street grade. Comments: The City Council on December 19, 1978 recommended a park dedication based on a value of land of $16,1OO or $230.00 per loc. The lot areas are not shown on the new plat and differ from the December 19, 1978 preliminary plat. A grading plan with.soil tests have not been sub- mitted for approval. Street, curb, gutter and utilities were installed at Beachwood Road under City contract and five (5) sewer and water stub- ins were assessed against the seven (7) proposed lots. The locations of the utility stub-ins do not align with the proposed lot lines for some lots. Recommendation: The Staff recommends that.a preliminary subdivision be approved conditioned upon: 1. Escrow fund be established to defray engineer, legal and staff time. 2. Park dedication fee of $230.00 per lot be assessed at the time of issuing building permits for eac~ of the 7. or re-establish a new value of land. ~~~/~ 3. City Engineer approve the grading, utilities, lot areas, and erosion ~on[rol plain ~or the 7 lots and obtain necessary easements. ~ ~~ 4, A public hearing be ~et by the City Council. 5. City Attorney review and approve the Title of the property. 6. Soil reports be submitted for Lots 23, 24, 25 and 27 (Pro- posed lots 5, 6 and 7) minimum. File for final subdivision approval within one year or the preliminary approval will be null and void.

CONSULTING ENGINEERS · LAND SURVEYORS · PLANNERS September 22, 1983 Reply To: 12800 Industrial Park Boulevard Plymouth, Minnesota 55441 (612) 559-3700 Mr. Oon Elam City Manager City of Mound 5341Maywood Road Mound, MN 55364 Subject: City of Mound Langdon View Plat Review File #6936 Dear Oon: We have reviewed the drawings and other information available at this time for the above proposed plat. The following are our comments and recommendations. 1. Rark Dedication Fee The 1983 market value is $17,500.00 for the entire parcel. Using 10 per- cent of this figure, the park dedication fee would be $1,750.00 or $250.00 per'lot for 7 lots. 2. Escrow Fund We have estimated that $1,5oo. oo should.be placed in escrow to cover Engineering, Legal, and Administrative costs. 3. Performance Bond All utilities are in place in Beachwood Road, so the only item that should be bonded is the grading. We are suggesting a figure of $500.00/lot for a total of $3,500.00. 4. Street Assessments This property was assessed frontage, area, and 5 units at the time of the 1978 street improvements. The policy in the past has been to collect for any additional units created by platting or subdivision of lots. If this policy is continued, 2 additional units at $1,170.90 per unit for a total of $2,341.80 should be collected. Mr. Son Elam September 22, 198~ Rage Two Permits Any necessary permits, such as from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, should be the responsibility of the developer. Grading and Drainage Plan The development plan submitted has been reviewed with one minor recommendation. The steep slopes at the rear of the proposed ~ots should be seeded as soon as possible to prevent any additional erosion. 7. Sanitary 'Sewer and Water Both sanitary sewer and water exist in Beachwood Road, with the correct number of services for the seven proposed lot~; however, it does not appear that they are in the right locations to directly serve each new lot. Pro- posed Lots 2 and 5 do not have any services, whereas Lots i and 3 each have two services. We would recommend that the developer be responsible for providing sewer and water service at the front property line of each lot. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact this office.

They are requesting to revise their'~equest and present an update to their site plan. The mechanical devises which will accompany.their operation are two (2) antenna dishes and a 40 foot microwave tower. The Zoning Code Section 23.408(3) - the following shall not be considered to be encroachments on yard requirements: a. Belt courses, leaders, sills, mechanical dev[ces, etc. provided they do not extend more than'2 feet into a yard. I feel the towers and dishes are mechanical devices.that will be set in the required yard space of the granted 20 feet variance and does require a revision of their original request. The applicant will give the exact setbacks at the Planning Commission meeting. He should also give the Commission information as to the structural design and analysis of the tower for consideration of a failure condition. The abutting neighbors have been notified.

Pursuant to the B-1 Central Business District Section 23.625 the use of the prop- erty is permitted. Section 23.62515 permits a height of 45 feet, lot size of 7500 square feet, and side and rear setbacks as per B-2 (Section 23.630.5), if abutting residential district, of 50 feet.. The property to the north and east is zoned B-1. .The property to the west and south is R-4 and R-l, residentially zoned. Mr. Johnson is. proposing a 30 foot setback to the rear lot line with an alley of 20 feet between the property line of the apartment property and the property of the Cablesystems office facility. Note: (Yard, Rear - The portion'of the yard on the same lot with the principal building located between the rear line of'the.building and rear lot line and extending for the .full width of the lot.) .He will be presenting at the meeting the landscaping, exterior, storage, building desi'gn, etc. that the owners intend:to construct. The parking spaces required for the facility is 2800 · 400 = 7 spaces. They will store the serving vans in the garage portion of the building. Recommend: I would recommend granting the variance requested; as the intent, I feel, is to maintain open space between the residentially zoned prop- erty and the commercial use. There will be a street right-of-way to the south and an alley to the west between the residential zoning. Section 23.603 District Boundaries states "District boundary lines as indicated on said Map follow lot lines, the center line of streets, the center lines of streets projected, the center line of railroad right-of-way, the center of water courses or the corporate limit lines, all as they exist, upon the effective date of this Section." The abutting property owners have been notified.

The request was discussed. Reese stated he'd like to see elev.atlons; but thinks this is good'use of the land. Johnson'showed the Commission a more developed plan and reviewed the design they are proposing. Building will be all one story. The garage part will be cut down into the ground to allow 12 Toot ceiling. They will have a 40 foot communication tower in front of building and the lightinq will be with exterior floods onto dishes. Discussed whether this would come back to the Commission. Reese moved and Jensen seconded a motion to recommend approval of a 20 foot setback variance to the abutting R-4 residentially zoned property. The vote was Michael against; all others in favor.

The site in question is zoned B-1 which requires a 50' setback on the backline if abutting any Residential District. The site across the alley is a spot- zone of R-4, that is, it contains ~ small apartment project. The owner, DO!,!SAT of ~innesota, has retained an Architect to study the feasibil- ity of placing an office/communications facility on the parcel that they have recently purchased. DOWSAT is the cable television company that will be servicing the Ilound area and wish to place a building of approx. 2800 Sq. Ft. Gross Area on the .corner lot. The building as proposed, consists of three major parts. There is.a utility por- tion which needs 10-12 Foot ceilings, an office portion which requires an 8-10 Foot ceiling, and an outdoor communications array consisting of two 5 ~eter re- ceiving dishes and possibly a forty foot heioht triangular tower.. The initial design concept places the taller profile utility portion at the back of the lot and depresses it slightly into the embankment that exists on-site. This allows the office areas and public spaces to be at the ronsard portion of the prop- erty which also become the backdrop for the receiving dishes and tower, The exis'ting 50 Foot setback would place the bui!ding to far forward on the Site to allow any on-site parking as this setback uses up almost one-half of the prop- erty... if the rear setback line is moved back from5O Fe'et to 30 Feet'it will allow the building to be properly located allowinq the~required 7 Parking spaces in the for- ward area. It should also be noted the the oara~e is a service garage which will contain their two service vans keeping them out of sight from the more public up- per parking and entry area.' This plan allocates a total of 9~ Parking spaces on-site' on the inside area). (Seven outside and 2~ It sheutd also be noted that the site contains a stee~ ridge running full width a- cross the back 10-30 Feet. This prevents the parking of cars on this back portion of the property without extensive site excavation. Also, such a parking area would be visually unappealing to the residents of the apartment complex across the alley. The proposed design places all of the' parking on the opposite side of the building, well separated from the R-~ Area.

To correct this, we should have the Council pass the attached resolution and add the cost to the 1983 CBD Assessment Roll. The difference of $723.31 ~s included in the September 20, 1983 revision. We have then excluded PID #13-117-24 33 0040 from the roll completely in 1983.

On a related matter, my parents recently received a tax state- ment for their property located directly behind the Mound Super Valu. The tax statement reflected a "1982 CBD parking maintenance .assessment" in the amount of $943.37. Since this property has neve~ been maintained as part of the municipal parking system and since property is in no way benefited by the parking facili- ties, it is difficult to understand-how the assessment can be .ccrrect. It is.my understanding that Bill Clark does not parti- cipate in the parking program in any w~y. Please look into the matter and determine whether we will have to initiate some sort of appeal in order to remove the assessment from the tax statement. I have enclosed a photocopy of a computer printout which reflects the 1982 assessment. Very truly yours, KOENIG, 'ROBIN, JOHNSON & WOOD · /7 '-' Peter W. Jehnson PWJ/b E~c .

Johnson Koenig, Robin, Johnson & Wood 2305 Commerce Blvd. Mound, MN. 55364 Dear Peter, I've spent several hours going over your letter regarding the CBD Assessment that was applied to the lot behind Super Valu. In a way, the errors of the past have been Carried forward and for whatever reason, your father should have brought this up during the hearing stage on the CBD last year. Nevertheless, the assessment was in error and I am proposing, with Council approval on September 27th, the following actions which should correct this' for the future. PID #13-117-24 33 0040 is the property located behind Super Valu. In 1983 it was assessed a total of $943.37. The correct assessment should have been $143.14. We. have asked the County to send out a corrected tax state- ment reflecting this change. PID #13-117-24 33 0064 is the Coast to Coast property and was assessed $871.37 in 1983. The correct total for the parking spaces (37) for the lot should have been $948.29. This statement will also be corrected and resent to your father. The net of both of these actions is a reduction of $723.31. clarifies 1983; Hopefully this For 1984, I have deleted PID #13-117-24 33 0040 from the CBD altogether. So in the future only PID #13-117-24 33 0064 will be assessed (and with your lease credits, greatly reduces your actual costs). The main reason we can't do anything about clearing up 1982 is that your father never raised the question at the hearing or any other time so we could have reallocated these parking district costs prior to assessing everyone. I hope this clears this up. Let me know if you have any questions.

Let me explain through an actual example. Lot 9, Block 24, Shadywood Point (see attached map) has been appraised for purposes of a tax forfeit sale at $2500. This lot had a total of $3771.55 worth of special assessments against the lot at the time of forfeiture and since forfeiture a hazardous building has been removed creating another assessment of $1,416.75. Together they add up to $5,188.30 or $2,688.30 over the appraised value. The two adjoining property owners wish to buy with from the County and combine it with their lots (the goal of our undersized lot program), but will pay only the $2,500, not $5,188.30. The question is, in order to get this lot back on'the tax rolls, should we cancel the other special assessments. There has been some precedence for this as the City has had to special levy each year for these payments in Order to insure adequate street assessment revenues, thus we probably would not lose any more by cancelling the assessments. In fact, we could gain approximately $50.00 a year by having in on the rolls. Perhaps we also gain by getting out of the maintenance liability for these properties which I think might be the best reason of all. There are two lots that you need to vote on. Ao Lot 9, Block 24, Shadywood Point - Value $2,500 Special Assessments $3,771.55 - before forfeiture Special Assessments $1,416.75 - Levy 8659 - $1,416.75 since forfeiture The City receives 80% of the assessments before tax forfeiture or $3,017.24, but in this case because the lot is only worth $2,500 the City will only receive $2,000. Lot 6, Block 9, MN. Baptist Assemby - Value $1,200 Special Assessments $3,O29.13 - before forfeiture Special Assessments 875.83 - since forfeiture The City receives 80% of the assessments before forfeiture or $2,423.30, but 'in this case because the lot is only worth $1,200 the City will only receive $960.00.

In summary anyway you adjust the bids it seems Custom is the low:bidder and must be awarded the contract. CUSTOM FIRE APPARATUS Pumper Additional Equipment Two additional Lights I don't think your tabulation is correct, i.e. $102,565.00 21,835.00 850.00 . Total $125,250.OO ~ ////~Su~stitute Heiman Fire Equipment quote in place of Custom Fire Apparat bid: ~ Pumper $102,565.00 ~ Additional Equipment(Heiman) 14,652.72 Plus Generator, lights, cord ~~.~O and reels Total ~ That is the cheapest way to proceed. Clearly General Safety Equipment Corp.'s bid can't be made any lower, i.e. GENERAL SAFETY EQUIPMENT CORP Pumper Additional Equipment Total $111,368.OO 20,588.00 $131,956.O0 Substitute Heiman Fire Equipment quote in plase of General Fire Safety bid: Pumper $111,368.00 Additional Equipment(Heiman) -14,652.72 Plus Generator, lights, cord and reels 3,492.00 Total $129,512.72 Page 2 Bob Cheney September 22, i983 The other bids are all over Custom Fire Apparatus's bid or don't meet the'specifications. As you have stated in your memo,"Custom Fire Apparatus has submitted the lowest bid that meets all of our specifications". On page 3 of the Information to Bidders, Custom states, "No exceptions are taken to the customers advertised specifications or proposed specifications." That would seem to me to mean you could hold Customer Fire to the exact letter of your specifications. I realize there is great apprehension about buying a truck from a relatively new company, but ~ never have seen anywhere that inexperience is grounds to deny a bid. If it was there would never be any new companies in the market place, because the experienced companies like General would like to keep them out. In summary, I think legally we must accept the bid from Custom Fire for either $120,709.72 with Heiman's equipment or $125,250.00 with Custom's additional equipment. From your sheet, I am assuming the latte.r. To purchase a truck that is not the legitimate low bid raises some real credability problems for the Department, especially in light of the cost. The requirements of the State Public Bid Law are very strict and must be followed. Custom Fire seems to.have done Shat and beyond that I don't know what else I could recommend to the other cities or the City Council.

English has applied for a lot width variance for the following described property: The Easterly 100 feet of the Westerly 160 feet of Lot 28, Auditor's Subdivision No. 170, Hennepin County, Minnesota, and WHEREAS, Mr. English has requested a variance in the lot width from the zoning standard minimum of 60 feet to allow a lot of 25.01 feet abutting Bartlett Boulevard, and WHEREAS, the request for a'variance was considered by the Mound Planning Commission on August 29, 1983 and the Planning Com- mission was unable to agree on a recommendation to this council since a portion of the commission believed that the request for a variance should be denied and an equal number felt that the variance should be granted, and WHEREAS, this matter was considered by the Mound City Council at a regular meeting held on September 6,. 1983, and at that time the property owner and residents of the neighborhood gave evidence to this council regarding the request; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mound City Council as follows: 1. Case No. 83-246 requesting a variance from 60 feet to 25.10 feet for a lot abutting Bartlett Boulevard is hereby denied for the following reasons: A. The City Council is unable to make findings to meet the test of the subdivision and zoning., ordinances for granting variances and said tests are as follows: (1) There are special circumstances or conditions affecting said property such that the strict application of the provisions of this ordinance would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his land. This finding can not be made because the property can be utilized in a fashion similar to other properties located within the neighborhood. (2) The variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the petitioner. This finding can not be made since the only evidence presented is that this would be economically feasible to the property owners. The zoning and subdivision codes can not be administered solely on the basis of economics. (3) The granting of the variance will not be detrimen- tal to the public welfare or injurious to the other property in the territory in which said property is situated and will not have an adverse effect upon traffic or.traffic safety. This finding can not be made because abutting' properties do run from Bartlett' Boulevard to Lake Minnetonka and a subdivision variance would create two lots, both of which would have access to Lake Minnetonka and further may change the surface water runoff in such a manner to have adverse effects on abutting properties because of the topographic conditions located on said property. B. The applicant has not indicated or given this council a legally definable hardship nor have they shown a uniqueness in this property which would allow the granting of these variances. If the city codes are to mean anything, they must be applied equally to everyone and to grant these variances would establish a precedent which in effect would allow all of these long lots between Bartlett Boulevard and Lake Minnetonka to be subdivided and would require variances.

I met with Mike Robertson, assistant Executive Director for the PCA on August 17, 1983 and then as a result of that meeting, he had Dale Wikre, Director of the Solid and Hazardous Waste Division gather some additional information to provide a more complete picture. You may be aware of part or all of the information which I received but the following is a summary of the information provided to me. 2. 3. 4. e As a requirement of the Federal Superfund Law, the Tonka Corporation informed the Federal EPA in 1981 that it had disposed of waste materials in the Mound Dump site (Lost Lake). Tonka Corporation indicated that the waste material most likely disposed of at this site was non-hazardous. However, since it (Tonka Corporation) could not be sure, this was the triggering action which caused Lost Lake Dump to be listed on the list of possible hazardous waste disposal sites. In 1982, water samples collected at nearby city wells and adjacent wetlands were analyzed and the results have not shown any volatile organic contamination. The PCA since 1981 has been requesting additional information from Tonka, but its response to date has not been significant regarding what, in fact, it may have disposed of at that site. The PCA has two general groupings for the sites which are listed on its list of hazardous waste site; sites for which it believes it can. identify the responsible party and sites which it cannot identify a responsible party. Executive Director Vcrn Peterson 183 universitx; avenue east, st. paul, minnesota 55101 (612) 227-5600 -2- The PCA has put the Lost Lake date in the responsible party grouping since it believes that Tonka Corporation is a viable responsible party. As such, the PCA has or in the near future, will make a formal request of Tonka Corporation to undertake thorough soil and ground water investigation. This site is probably not high enough on the PCA priority list to benefit from any Federal Superfund monies so any action or activity will be pursued under the State Superfund law and program (Chapter 121 of Minnesota Session Laws, 1983). If Tonka Corporation does not comply with the PCA's request for additional information and testing, then the PCA can proceed to take legal action under the p~ovisions of Chapter 121. As an alternative, at some point in time, the PCA could determine that Tonka Corporation is not a viable responsible party and could put the Lost Lake site into the other "grouping" of sites for which there is not a responsible party. Cleanup or response action could then proceed under the State Superfund Program. Since there is a limited amount of funding available, any such cleanup action would be dependent on how much priority the PCA gives this site compared to the other sites it has on its list. However, at this point in time, it is important to keep in mind that the PCA is pursuing a course of action based on the assumption that Tonka Corporation is a viable responsible party. That may or may not be a valid assumption. The PCA staff indicated that the Lost Lake Site along with the other suspected Tonka sites have not received adequate attention because of staff and. time limitations. Iu is my personal feeling, that the PCA Staff does not view this site as being "very dangero~ and therefore does not give it a lot of attention. Unfortunately, your problem remains unsolved. I did stress the unfairness of this situation. By .their own admission, the PCA does not know for sure that the Lost Lake site even contains hazardous material. Yet the site remains unde~elopable because it appears on their list. (Eventhough they insist they are not attempting to discourage development, the practical effect is that no person in his "right mind" will develop this site as long as the "cloud" remains). In my opinion, the PCA has an Obligation and I indicated this very strongly to Mr. Robertson, that action must be taken to verify that the site does or does not contain hazardous material and then proceed accordingley. If it contains no hazardous material, then it should be removed from the. PCA listing. I will continue to "track" PCA activities with respect to this site as time permits and I can only suggest that you do the same. That old adage about the "squeaky wheel" getting the grease is only too true. I would also suggest, if you have not already done so, that you get your State Representative and State Senator involved. For some reason, state agency personel sometime respond with a little more vigor to those persons who approve budgets, salary levels, etc. than to plain old hard working lobbyists such as myself. Please keep me informed. Best Regards, Vern Peterson VP / cw ~<~. 0 .,,4 , <.

Box 10 Excelsior, Minnesota 55331 Telephone (612) 474-8881 RE: Conversion of NSP Owned Street Lights to High Pressure Sodium Earlier this year, NSP initiated a program for conversion of all ~SP owned street lights to energy efficient high pressure sodium lamps. NSP developed this program to reduce the number of inefficient street lights on its system, in line with NSP's and the national commitment to energy conservation. Because of recent reductions in the cost of high pressure sodium fixtures supplied to NSP, we are now able to make the street light conversion program even more attractive to you. This cost-reduction has occurred due to a nationwide movement toward the use of this new, efficient light source, resulting in mass production of the high pressure sodium equipment at lower costs. Correspondingly NSP, on September 8th, is filing with the Minnesota and South Dakota Public Utilities Commissions and the North Dakota Public Service Commission a rate request to lower its rates for high pressure sodium street lights so that they are the same as those now charged for mercury street lighting of equivalent light output. We have also filed with these Commissions to eliminate the ~5.00 mercury-to-high pressure sodium conversion charge. The filings also include a request that the mercury street light rate be closed and no longer be offered for new installations. After we receive the Commissions' approval, NSP will start converting NSP owned mercury, incandescent, and fluorescent street lights to new energy efficient high pressure sodium at no charge for the conversion. This means that NSP will now be updating our street lights to modern, more efficient fixtures at no additional cost to you while conserving energy at the same time. The converted lamps will use 33% to 55% less energy and provide IT/o to 33% more light output than the lamps they replace, depending on lamp size. In the future, as NSP's costs of producing electric energy rise, the converted street lights should provide you savings in monthly operating costs compared to the relatively inefficient mercury units we are presently using. Because of these many advantages of high pressure sodium street lighting, NSP plans to convert the NSP owned overhead and custom underground street lights in your city to the nearest equivalent light output high pressure sodium. This will always result in slightly more light on your streets. - 2- Because this will be a large conversion program (Nsp owns more than 70,000 street lights), and because of the necessity of scheduling this conversion work to match available crew time and minimize costs, NSP may not be able to make the conversion when you request it, and will have to schedule the work over several years. Any mercury street lights that require maintenance during this waiting period will be converted to high pressure sodium at no charge. Provided the respective commissions approve NSP'$ filing, NSP will begin converting NSP owned mercury, incandescent and fluorescent street lights to the high Pressure sodium at no charge for the conversion, provided the conversions are made according to NSP'$ schedule. If conversion is desired prior to NSP'$ schedule, a one-time charge of $20 per light will be assessed to cover NSP's additional costs. We request your written concurrence with this program. If you have any questions or need further information on this program, contact Marlow E. Peterson at 474-7133 NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY Division General Manager September 2, 1983 Mr. Jon Elam City Manager City of Mound 5341Maywood Road Mound, MN 55364 545 Indian Mound Wayzata, Minnesota 55391 (612) 473-4224 RE: 1983 Water System Improvements - Booster Pump Station Dear Jon: Enclosed please find two (2) copies of Pay Estimate No. I as submitted by A & K Construction for work performed on the booster pump station.

It provides linkages between governmental units, consumers and services providers; increases awareness of available human services resources; identifies and advocates for needed services and improve- ments of the existing services system; and assists others in the development of human services programs. West Hennepin Human Services also-coordinates the delivery of services when there is no other agency to do it. Our work in the Emergency Services Program, the federal surplus commodities program, and the Energy Assistance Program are examples of this. West Hennepin Human Services Planning Board hal an agreement with each of the local police departments for the referral of people to Emergency Services. There were seven intake offices located throughout the West Hennepin area for the Energy Assistance Program, for the processing of applications for fuel assistance. These are examples of our efforts to provide services on a decentralized basis in local communities. A data report compiled by West Hennepin Human Services will provide you with numbers of users of such services as detox, battered women's shelters, Suburban Community Services (for seniors) and other ser- vices that West Hennepin Human Services has had a part in securing for the suburban area. WHHS compiled and arranged for printing and distribution of a directory of available services which was sent to approximately 70,000 West Hennepin residents and is used by police and other municipal officials. 1984 Funding Request, page 2 Unemployment was identified by the Board as a priority for 1983 and a directory of services and a survival skills manual for the unem- ployed is being compiled by the Unemployment Committee of West Hennepin Human Services. This committee, as are all the WHHS committees, is composed not only of Board members, but also interested citizens and service providers outside of the Board. Other areas that we are currently involved with are family violence, mental health services, services for youth, and services for the elderly. One of the most important functions of West Hennepin Human Services is to advocate for services that the citizens in our area need in order to maintain a good quality of life in our communities. For example we were able to successfully advocate for Hennepin County to provide a $41,000 fund for emergency food, shelter, clothing, and transportation for unemployed residents of our 'communities. This · service was not available in the West Hennepin area before. This is an example of the impact that we have had in helping to bring our fair share of taxes that we pay back into our communities as community- based, decentralized and accessible services. Other examples of services that we've developed are the West Hennepin Community Center for Mentally Handicapped people, health screening prOgrams for senior citizens, a residential treatment program for chronically mentally ill suburban residents, Parents Anonymous (a support group for parents who potentially may or do abuse their children), and suburban detoxification services. West Hennepin Human Services is the only agency providing these planning and coordinating services to the citizens of Mound. and the West Hennepin area. Funding for WHHS in 1983 came from Hennepin County, the 15 member municipalities, Energy Assistance Program funds, and a small grant for general operating expenses from the Minneapolis Foundation. It is the Board's feeling that primary responsibility for human services, not provided by private agencies, lies with the County~ However, municipalities should be willing to share in the cost of those services that are used by their citizens, or which act as a catalyst to ensure the delivery of services to their citizens through planning, coordination and funding. If further information is needed, please don't hesitate to call the West Hennepin office (920-5533). We appreciate your thoughtful con- sideration of this funding request, and we look forward to continuing to assist the residents of Mound in the delivery of human services.

This program is designed to encourage and assist Minnesota homeowners to make their homes more energy efficient by making available.loans Of up to $5,000 with interest rates of approximately 8% or 9%. There are no income limits, and borrowers may take up to 5 years to repay their loans. Loan proceeds must be used to increase the home's energy efficiency. Unlike the MHFA Home Improvement Loan Program, lenders originating loans under the program do not need an FHA Title I insurance contract in order to participate. This means that virtually any bank, savings and loan, or credit union located in Minnesota may participate in the program. During the second week in September, the MHFA will mail invitations to participate in the Home Energy Loan Program to all banks, savings and loans, and credit unions in the state. Your assistance in making your local lenders aware of the upcoming program would be appreciated. Participation by a lender in your community will mean that the citizens of your community can make use of this important new program. If you have any questions regarding the Home Energy Loan Program, feel free to call the agency at 296-7615 if you are calling from the 7-county metro area. If you are calling from outside the 7-county metro area, you can call us toll free by dialing 1-800-652-9747 and asking for "Rehab".

This report will include a summary of the Playground Program, a Playground attendance sheet, a summary of the Tennis Program and ~a total budget report. PL. AYGROUN~D PROGRAM - six weeks of activities - five parks (Island, Highland, Three Points, Belmont and Clover Circle) - afternoon programming (1:00 - 3:30) Program Sign-up - Island 61 - Highland $8 - Three Points 71 - Belmont 35 - Clover Circle 70 Total 255 The number of children who signed up for the Play~.'ounds was up slightly this year over last year. (Last year was exceptionally high.) The daily attendance, however, on the average was lower this year. Since this was true at all the parks, I cite the weather and not supervision or activity planning as the cause. The first two weeks were cool a~nd rainy while the last four weeks were continually hot and humid. Perhaps we could return to morning programming to avoid some of the heat. P1 ay~round Activities We started the season with all of the supervisors attending the Playground Workshop put on by MRPA (N~innesota Recreation and Parks Association) and a first aid review at the Mound Community Building. The program started June 13th and the supervisors at each park took turns planning activities for each week. The activities were to include a balance of crafts, games, sports, swimming with Fridays being a special event 'day. In addition, we all went together io the N~innesota Zoological Gardens. Over 100 of us went on two busses provided by Community Services. TE~'NI S PROGP3~ - six wee~k& of lessons - two parks (Mon. and Wed. at Island, Tues: and Thurs. at Three Points)- - afternoon group lessons Tennis Sign-up - Island - Three Point s Total 85 Both the sign-up and the attendance in the Tennis Program were way up this year over last year. We did, however, lose quite a few days due to rain and some of the lessons were cut short because of heat and humidity. Park Week 1 2 Island M 30 .... 21 14 17, 82 W 36 25 18 22 14 -- t 115 T.P.

Elam City of Mound 5341 Maywood Road Mound, MN 55364 Re: Municipal Caucus Dear Mr. Elam' Was your city "surprised" by the most recent "adjustments" to its 1984 local government aids? Are you concerned about the complicated nature of fiscal disparities (Shakopee just found a $2,795,000 error in its fiscal disparities contribution)? Do you have a nagging suspicion that your community is being treated unfairly by these and other state and regional programs? If you answered yes to any of these questions I strongly urge you to attend the next meeting of The Municipal Caucus on September 20, 1983, at 10:00 a.m. in the First Floor Community Room at the St. Louis Park City Hall, 5005 Minnetonka Boulevard, St. Louis Park. If you are wondering what The Municipal Caucus is please read the enclosed material and then mark September 20th down on your calendar and attend our next meeting. Sincerely~ Jc,?thvn K. Anderson City Administrator JKA/jms enclosure An Equal Opportunity Employer TO: FROM: RE: DATE: Metro Area~Suburbs The Municipal Caucus Organizational Meeting September 7, 1983 You're probably.asking yourself whether someone created another new group. The Municipal Caucus is not new, the name has just been changed. The Municipal Caucus is a group of concerned metropolitan suburban cities that has evolved from what has been known during 1983 legislative battles as the bletropolitan Losers Group. The latter group was formed in the fall of 1982 to address two issues, .local government aid and fiscal disparities. Its initial membership included cities that lost over $1,000,000 in assessed valuation through fiscal disparities and received less than the median per capita local government aid allocation. Because of this initial criteria, the formal membership of the Metropolitan Losers Group was limited to approximately 20 cities. Before, during and after the 1983 legislative battles members of the btetropolitan Losers Group were frequently asked if they would consider broadening their membership. So, at the group's July 19th and August 16th meetings action was taken to respond posi- tively to this question by changing the group's name, sending invitations to all suburban cities in the metropolitan area, establishing 1984 dues at $200.00, and outlining activities to be focused on during 1984. More importantly, the organization clarified its role vis-a-vis other existing organizations in the metropolitan area. The ~organization will encourage members to maintain memberships in the League of Cities and/or the Association of bletropolitan Municipalities (AMM), and will function as an established suburban caucus within those two organizations. Regular meetings will be held so that suburban cities can focus their collective attention on matters that~ are crucial to them.whether they are being con- sidered by the League, AMM, Legislature or other organizations. This letter is being sent to both Mayors and Administrators because one of our organizational goals is to increase the level of parti- cipation of elected officials. We sincerely hope to get two representatives from each city to attend our first meeting, so mark the date on your calendar, September 20, 1983, 10:00 a.m., St. Louis Park City Hall, 5005 b~innetonka Boulevard, St. Louis Park.

Smiley Smiley'Glotter Associates, Inc. 1021 La Salle Avenue Minneapolis., Minnesota 55403 Re: Proposed Tbwn Square Development Mound, Minnesota Dear Saul' We have been giving considerable thought to your kind offer of some form of joint venture arrangement on the proposed Town Square Development in Mound, Minnesota. We have con- cluded that, because of the relatively small size of the proposed center and the'potential ownership interest of some of its primary users, we would not be interested in acting as General Partner in a Limited Partnership for the project kt this time. Initially, we felt that the input of our development staff might be useful in formulating an overall strategy that in- volved tax increment financing, project phasing, and indus- trial revenue bonds. Since, as we nod understand, these activities are already well underway, it would appear that such services'would be redundant or unnecessary thus remov- ing much of our original rationale for assuming the developer's role. ~ However, we remain' keenly interested in the 'construction and other portions of this project where you feel our services might be of value 'and would appreciate your considering Kraus- Anderson for these functions as YOu progress. Meanwhile, we have made it clear to the ~layor and City Manager of Mound, as well a~ our consortium of local businessmen, that Kraus-Anderson is not interested in formulating a retail pro- posal for the so-called Troiley Boat Center site' that would directly compete with the proposed Town Square Development, EIGHTH STREET MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55-104 (612) 332-12-11 ~?'S Mr. Saul C.

September 1, 1983 Newsletter Interest rates, especially tax-exempt rates (while lower than their highs) are still very high, historically, and are rising. From July 1 to August 11 the Bond Buyer Index rose from 9.36% to 9.85% and the prospect is that, with a recovering economy, a rising private credit demand, and a $200 billion plus credit demand by the federal government, interest rates will increase. At a recent seminar an economist expressed his bullishness on America saying that, while the U.S. .government credit demands in the last quarter of 1983 would be very great, there would not be ~ large demand for personal and business credit. But, if there is a large demand, interest rates will rise. Not a one-armed economist, he was able to say: "On the other hand . . ." There is a fear of massive defaults in, especially, IMF loan is a band-aid which permits additional 1 now - but it does not cure underlying problems. loans. loans to developing countries. oans so those borrowers will it actually is a bail out of The $8.5 billion not.default - just banks who made the The prospect of a $2.25 billion WPPSS default chills any financing underpinned by so-called take- or-pay, hell-or-high-water, contracts and any issue with "Washington" in it. Bond Attorneys will now keep in mind that most state supreme courts are elected and the fiasco brings into doubt the shiboleth that large public power agencies necessarily command better management and advisors. There is some talk that the WPPSS default will prejudice all municipal bond issues but we discount that. It did not happen after the New York crisis and we don't think it will happen again. However, if defaults do tarnish all tax-exempt bonds, then cities and the states had better be careful about IDB bonds which look very much like regular bonds with the city's name prominently displayed. And some IDB investors actually think they have city bonds. Company' Notes: We are now converting our computer/word processing into an integrated Wang VS-80 system to further enhance the quality of Ehlers and Associates' work. We were first to move into computerized local government financial planning and have continually improved our equipment, skills, procedures and computer programs to lead the field. We are not cheaper, but'we are more efficient and now have the capability to examine more options for each client and for each project and to do much more and better financial planning. Anyone can do standardized "popcorn" bond issues quickly and cheaply but, in the long run, cheap consulting can be very expensive.

Apparently there is some indication by Judge Wolner that he has been libeled. Libel is defined as follows: "Libel is a malicious publication, expressed in print, writing, and by signs, tending to injure the reputation of another, and expose him to public hatred, contempt, and ridicule." Jon, the elements which go into a libel are, the words used must apply to the plaintiff, the letter or writing must be published, that means, to transmit it to someone other than the plaintiff, and there must be damages incurred. If it were determined that this was libel per se, punitive damages could also be recovered without proof of actual damages. If the words do not provide for an actionable, per se libel, action, then malice would also be required as an element. It is commonly said that malice is implied if you have a malicious publication. Based on the above, and my very limited knowledge of what has transpired here, it does not appear that the letter is libelous per se. It also does not appear that Judge Wolner could prove damages. The statements which were made in this case really go to impressions rather than to actual facts, although the Chief has alleged a "conflict of interest". I agree with Judge Johnston that the City has the right in any case involving the City of Mound to file an affidavit of prejudice. I hope this is responsive to your question.

However, the system of fire control extends beyond what we usually think of as the firefighters under Chief Conroy's direction in St. Paul or Chief Dickinson's in Minneapolis. And unlike the other parts in the fire control system, many of the Twin Cities' public fire departments are groups with long histories and time-honored traditions; they display some resistance to change. Unfortunately,.the rest of the system refuses to stand still. Like many public services these days the Twin Cities area fire departments are caught in the bind of managing a demand for services while facing a slow-down in the growth of public revenues. Many other changes are going on in the fire control system that have not been examined. Fire incidence is decreasing. Fire protection is becoming increasingly -privatized--homeowners and businesses provide fire detection and alarm systems for their property. A significant shift in emphasis away from fire suppression and towards prevention is occurring. ~ - - A~ternative ways of delivering fire services show up in Minnesota cities and around and outside the country. In order to determine policy options, decision makers must be aware of the changes occurring in the fire control system and their implications for existing fire departments.

Public Fire Departments ....- As a significant part of the defense force of the city, firemen are regarded with high esteem. Firefighters deservedly enjoy a "good guy" image; they traditionally have been perceived as brave, helpful, civic-minded, almost fearless individuals, willing to put their lives on the line fightin~ merciless fires.~ Fi~e departments are some of-the most widely accepted and' easily justified expenditures of public money. We all feel safer knowing the fire department is adequately staffed and well equipped to respond when we need its help. We may not need the department's services frequently or ever, but we are generally- happy and willing to pay for the department in case one time the fire is at. our house or our business. thOUgh fire departments-~are not legislatively mandated in Minnesota, they are commonly accepted as publicly produce~ · services. Th~ p~rception that everyone is entitled to-fire .... protection became predominant as buildings were built taller and became' located closer together. A fire ~n one building or on one story of the building could quickly spread; cities needed fire fighters to avoid serious conflagrations. Our fire departments grew out of small, independent, ..... neighborhood-based groups of volunteers and were shaped to a- - great extent by the insurance industry2 The Insurance Services Office (ISO) developed the grading schedule which determines a "- city's fire insurance rates. Cost-considerations did not play a.~. part in the schedule's development. The more staffing, stations~ and equipment a local government had, the better grade it would receive. A low score meant lower insurance premiums for property- owners--exactly what cities wanted. The concept of "more" being automatically better became institutionalized. This memo explores the changes~occu~ring in the fire control system of which public fire departments are only one part. These changes impinge upon the functions of the traditional department and thus will require a response from local policy makers. We start by reaffirming the basic mission of fire departments. .' The M~ssion '~ ............. ~ - - ..... ~ ...... ~- Firefighters, the national fire organizations, and the general public might easily and correctly agree that the basic function of fire departments is saving lives and protecting property. Fires start; firefighters put them out. The job as "smoke-eater" appeals to certain individuals enough that they work as volunteer firefighters. Throughout the training firefighters receive, the emphasis is on fighting the fire. The mission of fire departments, however, is larger than putting out the flames. Equally important, according to the National Fire Protection Association (among others), is the role of fire prevention. 2 Although department expenditures may not necessarily reveal it, the fire prevention functions are critical. Prevention measures include building inspections, Uniform Fire Code enforcement, construCtion plan reviews and public education campaigns. However, the public fire department's services are weighted toward fire suppression activities. Even departments with fire prevention divisions rarely have the resources to inspect all or even most o~ the commercial buildings with any regularity. The number~.of fire inspectors in Minneapolis has been cut by more than half over the past years. The existing staff conducts only a fraction Of the 22,000 inspections required. ~'~' Some departments integrate inspection work into the firefighters' daily workload. However the busier stations in a community complete fewer inspections. Ironically, the areas where the most fires break out receive the fewest building inspections. Residential dwellings are not even candidates for inspections unless the owners specifically request them. In general there is little incentive for a firefighter to like inspections. The inspector's function is not a friendly one. It pushes a firefighter into enforcement roles. The image of the courageous public servant somehow falls apart when the firefighter goes through basements checking for open fire doors and unsafe stacks of old papers. The room for advancement in fire prevention work is small.., ~ ~ ,- · ~ _~ . Over the long run consistent building inspections can only serve to reduce the fire hazard in the area--which reduces the manpower need for fighting fires. For the firefighters there are few rewards for reducing fire runs (and thus, department costs) this way; in this age of intense competition for public dollars, unused budgeted amounts are seen as allocation mistakes and are quickly dispersed elsewhere. Organizations that seek to prolong their lives will not work to undermine their usefulness. Let's take a look at what might be a typical day in the life of a career firefighter. His schedule is similar to that of a Minneapolis or St. Paul firefighter; he works a 24-hour shift three days a week. Many firefighters take advantage of this schedule by working a second job during their "off" days. 8:00 a.m.--Staff meeting to discuss what happened on previous shift and upcoming day's itinerary. 8:30 a.m.--Maintenance and cleaning of equipment and station. 10:00 a.m.--Building inspections and firefighter training. 12:00 a.m.--Lunch. 1:00 p.m.--Personal time or standby time. 3:00 p.m.--Physical fitness training; possibly more inspections or firefighter training. 5:00 p.m.--Dinner. Evening to · , . . 7:45 a.m.--Special detail or standby time; bedtime. Throughout this daily routine t~e firefighter is on-call for fire or emergency medical runs. During 1982 St. Paul's 16 fire stations responded to 5743 fire runs (over a quarter'of which are unintentional alarms, false alarms, or intentional but incorrect alarms). This averages out to about 15 fire calls, or just under one call per station, each day. ._ .. The Fire Contro System .... ..~ .... .~.: .~ . ;._ Although we commonly"think of firefighters as the main :' deterrents to fire, the fire control system is by no means limited to the role' they~play. The fire control system consists of four parts. Only the fourth deals with suppressing the fire after it has started ~ Prevent Fire--The first element of fire Control.is to Stop fires from starting. Fire education, ~regulations and financial incentives influence whether'or not fires begin accidentally... Other factors.come into play with deliberately set fires.~.~ -'~ Fire-laws and'ordinanCes are intendea to reduce fire risk by regulation, but do little good without education on fire hazards.~. · Public fire education is limited to the occasional educational campaigns local fire departments stage for schools or community In some ways fire insurance acts as a disincentive to fire ~ontrol. With fire insurance'even'an extremely negligent or careless fully-insured person who starts a fire is assured complete remuneration for'the loss-by the"insurance Although heard of, individuals usually, do not receive a bill requesting payment for services rendered following a fire. ' -- ..... Society assumes the cost for putting'it out. The responsibility for a fire is dispersed among all the property tax payers in'the- surrounding area. Little monetary incentive exists to Prevent In some European. countries the insurance and judicial systems contain different incentives. In Sweden, Germany and Switzerland courts fine people for carelessness or negligence in. starting fires. (Minnesota's arson law also fines for' negligence.) In France insurance reimburses property owners for only a part of the value of the lost property. The owner bears some of the risk and has an incentive to be more careful. In some countries insurance is mandatory but can only be obtained after the structure complies with strict fire and building codes. Fire protection is built into the buildings at construction time. Limit the Spread of Fire--A second component to the control system is to limit a fire from.spreading once started, with the help of fire-resistant construction materials, fire and smoke detection systems, alarm and communication systems, and simple operating procedures like closing all office doors at night. Limit Damage--A third component is to limit fire damage and protect valuables within a building: utilizing fire and building codes, dispersing the valuables to various locations within the building, safeguarding items in fire-proof safes, or duplicating important records. Areas with politically Supported fire and building codes and new development, will require a smaller ratio of firefighters than areas with old construction and unenforced codes. Codes are only as strong as a city's.willingness to enforce them. Compared to an average of 3.86 on-duty firefighters/10,000 population in 1980 for 74 large cities in the U.S., Mpls. had 3.36/10,000, about 13% below the average and St. Paul.had 4.04/10,000, about 5% above. Suppress Fire--Suppressing fire is the fourth component to fire control. And even here, the public fire department is only a part of the system. On-site suppression systems include fire extinguishers, smoke barriers, and automatic sprinkler systems. The other aspect of suppression is the firefighter. Full- time, paid departments are either city departments like in Minneapolis or St. Paul, or forces contracted by the city. There are all-volunteer fire departments; some are city financed like in Bloomington, and others are independent, non-profit groups which contract with the local government as with the East Cottage Grove department. What we have today in municipal departments is a situation where the government both determines what level of service is to be provided and acts as a monopoly producer, thus determining both demand and supply. This arrangement limits the possibilities for change in the public fire department. Assured its appropriation of public money, the traditional department has little financial incentive for efficiency in its activities. The department is not rewarded for reducing costs. In fact, at times departments have received more resources when they did not accomplish their mission: a high incidence of fires is traditionally thought to reflect the need for additional money. Some Chan~es in the Fire Control System Fire departments are under pressure from a number of factors forcing change into fire services. The most obvious one is the shortage of public money with which to fund public services. Increasing the resources going to a service is no longer feasible or necessarily advantageous. The question becomes how to produce fire protection in the face of budget constraints. In St. Paul, fire, police and community services traditionally represent the three highest expenditures out of the general fund. For 1983 the fire department is budgeted for 11.9% of St. Paul's general and debt service funds; the police and community services are budgeted for 15.4% and 13.8% respectively. In 1982's budget the percentages were slightly higher, 12.6% for 5 fire, 16.2% for po~lice and 14.3% for community services. City budgets for 1982 in ~inneapolis show 9.05% budgeted for fire, 13.44% for police and 14.46% for public works. The fire department allocation is generally the third highest. Today city government~ are often unable to vote higher property taxes. And this intense competition for funds takes its toll. Last year St.~Paul took two ladder trucks out'of~-~-~ service and used incentive retirements to reduce staff l~velsl~ After inflation the department has~ not_received 'a real 'increase. for years. Yet departments believe that funding leVels must be maintained to ensure adequate firefighting. A city may find it difficult to analyze the adequacy of-a fire department's service when budgetary reviews are conducted- because fire performance levels are'.'not firmly specified. The growth or reduction of a fire department is usually based on the professional judgements of the depar .tment's fire chief and the~-.'~3~ city budget manager, coupled, with a..good deal'of political"inP6t~i .~?~ from different sectors ....... ~ .... Response rates, insurance ratings and fire losses are- ' '~ usually used to compare the performance of one department to other departments or to a national average. Although these statistics are helpful for comparison purposes, they won't reveal ghti ' Another factor influencing Public fire. departments is the gradual decline in the need for fire suppression'. Fire incidence is stabilizing. As older cities replace their aged, unprotected buildings with new structures the need for fire services changes. 'With the new buildings come sprinkler systems, and advanced fire detection and alarm systems. Technology like this reduces the severity of fires. In effect, the city is restructuring its need for fire services as it'replaces its building stock. '..~.. An example of this is the city of Fresno, California. Because Fresno required sprinklers in all downtown buildings~the . size of the fire department has remained the same since the 1960's despite a 'significant increase in Fresno's population and. total area. - 'Which department efforts require more emphasis--or less? Somewhere between having a fire station on every corner and having no public fire protection, a medium must be struck. .Computer models are available to analyze the optimal location of stations and produce the best coverage for the city. But only very limited analysis is conducted to establish the most efficient methods of oper.ating the department as a whole. With this analysis, we might find that fire prevention activities are a more efficient way of saving lives and protecting property. 6 The need for high numbers of firefighters will diminish as detection and suppression teehn01ogy permeates the fire control system. Attention is increasingly focused on the cost- effectiveness and efficiency of prevention and automatic suppression. Privatizing Fire Services Other actors in the fire control system are shifting the emphasis from fire suppression to fire prevention. Outside fire departments the less expensive and more effective prevention activities are substituted for the traditional suppression activities. Fire control, in the form of fire prevention, is becoming increasingly privatized. Fifteen years ago few buildings in downtown Minneapolis were sprinklered. Estimates of today's square footage of sprinklered building area range from 34 to 45%. In the Twin cities, the number of local sprinkler contractors doubled over the last' decade. Home sprinkler systems are a recent addition to the array of fire protection devices available for residences, including smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and household-wide detection and alarm systems. Insurance companies perform regular inspections in high fire risk structures. Lower risk buildings are inspected less frequently. Many sprinkler contractors also conduct inspections. These privatized fire services reduce the need for fire fighters. Some of these services are supported by the fire departments. For instance, .St. Paul Fire Chief Conroy is proposing a demonstration program on installing "do-it-yourself" home sprinkler systems. A cooperative proposal by the. Minneapolis Fire Department and two Minneapolis bond houses to upgrade fire-safety conditions in downtown buildings through the use of tax-exempt, low-cost bonds is under review by a city council task force. The tax exemption is justified on the basis that a sprinklered building helps decrease the overall cost of public fire fighting. Fire education for.,high rise building employees would be included. Ail these factors--public budgets, a declining need for fire suppression, a re-emphasis of fire prevention activities, and privatized fire control--pressure the public fire departments. The changes will mold a reduced need for fire fighting activities in the future. Change comes slowly to fire departments where the constraints of budgets, firefighter interests and city politics interplay with the lack of incentives to contain costs. The opportunity to be innovative is further limited when departments can only respond to budget cuts and retrenchments. They end up defending the status quo and making minor adjustments with what 7 they have. The dominance of the'tradition-bound fire departments in the suppression business places them in a risky predicament unless they can accommodate the other changes occurring in the system. Traditional Responses Those departments ~perating in 'the traditional way have only limited opportunities for change. One change is to make cuts--in personnel, equipment or stations--each of which present furt~her problems. Reducing.the number of firefighters or equipment is difficult when the department operates 24 hours~a day at constant manpower levels. Moving a station is not easy because it is geographically fixed and ~ould be strongly resisted by that neighborhood's citizens. ~-~/' ~ . ~ J~i~ ~ A Second'oPtion for the'traditional department is to develop. additional lines of work for firefighters. Since the late 60's many fire departments deliver emergency medical services (EMS), providing basic and/or advanced life.support in emergency situations. As in St. Paul,'a few departments also transport the~ victim to a medical facility. All St. Paul firefighters have training as Emergency Medical Technicians and those assigned to advanced life support vehicles undergo rigorous paramedic training. About 2/3 of St. Paul's runs. are in response to EMS calls--over 12,~80 EMS runs in 1982. ' Fire departments are also recruited for other services.. For instance, last summer the St. Paul firefighters were enlisted to. tag all the thirsty trees along the city's boulevards during a particularly hot and long dryspell, warning property owners to water the trees. ~ .... Beyond the Traditional Response Other alternatives, are availabl~ whe~ we modify the "givens" of the traditional department. With this type of change, declining budgets do not have to mean less services. .Changing the inputs to the department's traditional way of delivering service is one response. The organization of the department, its scale, or the labor element may be changed to improve the.quality.~ of the service or reduce the costs of its production. changing the OrganizatiOn--To produce cost effective fire services, Kansas City attempted differential manning levels on eight hour shifts in the late 1970's. Most paid departments use the same number of men on each 24 hour shift. By changing to differential manning and eight hour shifts, Kansas City hoped to increase fire prevention work and make the most productive use of its personnel during peak fire periods. However, the department aggressively resisted the changes and the firefighters were subsequently scheduled on 10/14 hour shifts. Some'gOvernmental units Utilize fire bureaus within public safety departments instead of fire departments. Police and fire forces are combined allowing some economies because of the larger organization, and minimizing standby time for firefighters. Public safety departments seem to only work well in communities where neither serious crime nor fire problems exist. The city-owned and -operated fire department is usually thought of as a given. But many governmental units provide fire protection services by contract. Private non-profit organizations of fire fighters may either contract with a city to operate only within that city's boundaries, or contract with neighboring cities as well. Or a government could purchase services by contracting with a nearby city fire department. Some contracts are developed with private, for-profit fire service organizations. Perhaps the best known of the for-profits in the United States is the Rural/Metro Fire Department which operates in Arizona and Tennessee. For over 30 years Rural/Metro -has produced fire services by contract to households and local governments 'on a competitive basis. Rural/Metro emphasizes the cost-effective' delivery of fire protection. In order to survive it must alter its services to meet demand. Part of the success of the Danish emergency/rescue service company Falck is that it contracts with households as well as with local governments to provide a package of services. To its household subscribers Falck represents everything from road- rescue services to home fire extinguishers. Falck contracts with local governments to deliver ambulance and fire protection services. Falck employees are unionized and paid at the same rate as public service employees, but are fully trained for all services; when not fighting fires they are rescuing stranded motorists or providing first-aid training. Realizing the small amount of time firefighters actually spend at fires, Falck utilizes the time of its employees in other productive ways. Changing Scale--Changing the scale'of a fire service is another alternative. Fire departments may be organized on a county or regional scale, like that in Los Angeles county in California. Consolidated departments trim duplication of administration, centralize the dispatch operation and purchasing, work under unified fire codes, and may improve response time because stations nearest'a fire will be called to respond regardless of municipal boundaries. Consolidating departments does present certain tradeoffs, however. Less local autonomy is available, jobs may be lost as the consolidation occurs and political problems can be anticipated. Changing Personnel--Some full-time, paid departments use volunteers as a part of their work force. The Cottage Grove fire department uses a combination of full-time and volunteer staff. After 30 years with full time firefighters the city of Faribault integrated volunteers into the department. Thirty-four Minnesota departments combine full-time and volunteer personnel. The truth is that full-time, paid departments are the exception. The overwhelming majority of fire departments in Minnesota have no paid personnel whatsoever. Some 751 of the 800 fire departments in the state are all-volunteer. Only 15 departments are full-time and paid like St. Paul and Minneapolis. Bloomington MN, now officially a central city of 81,830, with major commercial and industrial development, effectively utilizes an all-volunteer fire department. Even though the volunteers are compensated with healthy pension plans after 20 years of service, the city realizes annual cost savings where other cities pay salaries and fringe benefits. Because many of the buildings in Bloomington have built-in fire protection the need for a full-time, paid department never arose. Fire prevention was built into the buildings from the start. ~-~ ' Fire insurance ~s another "given" in the fire control · system. As it is, people pay twice for protection; they.-pay insurance premiums to protect their property and they pay taxes for fire departments to protect that property. An alternative would provide both the insurance and the service through' one payment, similar to the payment structure of health maintenace organizations. Based on this concept, an insurance program for homeowners called Cooperative Homeowners Insurance Prog-ram (CHIP) was initiated in California. CHIP calls for a home safety and seCurity check performed by local safety authorities. It is 'assumed that safer homes and thus lower fire and crime losses will result. Under this plan the homeowner may receive a premium discount~ and the community saves costs because of the reduced need for fire and police help. It is interesting to speculate ho~'the motivations of the _. firefighters might change if they were paid on a "fire control" basis. The firefighters would be given a lump-sum payment in advance, out of which would come any' money needed to suppress a fire. Since the firefighters would be allowed to keep whatever part of the payment they do not spend, they have an incentive to work efficiently, prevent fires and keep costs down. Ch 11 g ~ A a en e .... . ~ Departments do not have to be structured in the traditional way, and may realize efficiencies by structuring differently. Fire protection is changing; people recognize the effectiveness and efficiency of fire prevention measures. The advance of many privatized fire protection systems reflects this change. The full-time, paid departments are concentrated in the larger cities. But so are the 'toughest financial problems. It might be both useful and possible to consider some change. What if even one neighborhood could take what the city now spends and set itself up on the model used in Bloomington? 10 Departments II II How To Stay Out of Trouble and Still Get Things Done? The fo/lowing suggestions are for local officialsmboth elected and ap- pointedmon how to stay out of trouble, but still get things done, which seems to be an increasingly dif- ficult thing to do. This was the theme of a genera/luncheon pane/discus- sion at the 71st Annual City Conference Of the League of Kansas Municipalities. The observations, edited and supplemented by League Director E. A. Mosher Jformer assis- tant director of the League of Wisconsin Municipalities], were con- tributed by five municipal officials who participated in the pane/: Mayor Louis E. Bartholomew, Erie; City Attorney James B. McK.ay, Jr., El Dorado; City Manager A/a'n Morris, Liberal; City En- gineer Bruce D. Remsberg, El Dorado; and City Clerk/Finance Director Pear/ Smith, Colby. 1. If you're a governing body mem- ber, allow yourself enough time to be effective. Just attending council meetings is not enough--you must study and discuss the problems, and keep yourself informed on what's go- ing on. To do even a fair job takes a tot of time. 2. Pace yourself. Limit the number of meetings you have. Set some prior- ities, recognize the need to spend time with your family, and don't "burn" yourself out. Recognize that life--and the city--is dependent on a lot of things we have little control over. 3. As an individual, even if you're the mayor, don't make promises you can't deliver! Most major decisions and actions require approval of the governing body, and this takes a ma- jority vote. 4. Treat everyone the same. Be con- sistent. 5. If you're a governing body mem- ber. don't spend most of your time checking on what your st,~ff has al- ready done. Your primary job is to provide some policies and directions for the city. For example, instead of spending time reviewing claims, make sure you have a good purchas- lng practice by which claims are incurred in the first place. 6. Always deal with people as if you will have to deal with them again. Even if you don't, someone else will. 7. Take your budget preparation job seriously, for it determines what your city does or doesn't do for the com- lng year. It's the biggest policy development tool available to govern a city. And when budget cutbacks are essential, don't cut back on those ac- tivities that are vital to the critical operation of the city. 8. Be alert for the little things. They always seem to grow and come back to get you. 9. Establish policy statements. Writ- ten policy statements let the public, and the city staff, know where they stand. They help the governing body govern, and writing them provides a process to develop coasensus..' "That's the way it's always been done" is not good enough either to stay out of trouble or to get things done. 10. Maintain the infrastructure! Make certain you are adequately keeping up what you now have before taking on any new projects. Deferring main- tenance costs to the future simply shifts your troubles to those who fol- low you in the job. 11. Don't give quick answers when you're not sure of the real answer. It may be embarrassing to appear igno- rant, but it can be more embarrassing to tell a person something that is wrong. 12. Don't be stampeded into action. Don't be misled by the strong de- mands of special interest groups who want it done now, their way. Your job is to find the long-term public interest of the community, and you may be hearing from the wrong people. 13. Don't spring surprises on your fellow governing body members or your city staff, especially at formal meetings. If a matter is worth bring- ing up for discussion, it's worth being on the agenda. Surprises may get you some publicity, at the embarrass- ment of others, but tend to erode the "team" approach to go,vernance. 14. Don't bypass the system! If you have a city manager or other chief administrative official, governing body members should stick to policy and avoid personal involvement in the day-to-day operations. 15. And don't let others bypass your system--insist that people such as bond salesmen or equipment suppli- ers first work with your city staff. If direct contact with governing body members is advisable, this should be with the governing body as a whole and not on a one-on-one business. 16. Formalize your personnel rules and regulations. Make sure they're clear. For example, if you don't pay for unused sick leave when an em- ployee is terminated, put it in writing. Once the rules are established, gov- erning body members should avoid the temptation to get involved in per- sonnel matters. 17. Give notice for all your meetings, If it is not a regular meeting for which everyone in town knows the time and place, publish a notice in the newspa- per. If a major issue is to be considered, publish a special notice. If you know someone who is directly involved on the agenda, give him or her notice. 18. Distribute your council agenda to members and other concerned indi- viduals several days before each meeting. It should be no secret what you are going to discuss, and a planned agenda permits orderly meetings. 19. Don't have closed meetings. In government, there shouldn't be any secrets. You are there to represent the public: don't hide anything from them, for your attempt to do so will Public Management/September 1983 Departments certainly result in trouble. Follow the law for any executive sessions you think are necessary for the public in- terest. 20. Keep your constituents informed, through a weekly editorial in the local newspaper, radio interviews, or news releases. Be friendly and deal effec-' tively with the news media. Lack of proper communications is one of the biggest problems of cities. -21. Keep your employees informed --particularly those on the front line who make decisions or are in fre- quent contact with the people. 22. Appoint citizen advisory commit- tees when you need them, but be prepared to follow their advice if you use them. Appointing your opposition to a useful committee can let them work for you, instead of against you. 23.' Hire the best people you can and give them as much responsibility as they can and will handle. There is a!- ways the possibility that they will get you into trouble at first, but if you stand behind them, eventually they can keep you out of trouble. 24. Charge your employees with be- ing responsible for new ideas and better ways. Listen to what .they have to say. 25. Have your city attorney attend your governing body meetings. But don't expect the attorney .to know all the answers, right on the spot. Give the attorney the chance to research the matter. 26. Don't simply ask your city attor- ney whether or not you can do something. Sometimes, the most ap- propriate question is "How can we legally accomplish this objective?" 27. If yours is a typical city, don't'ex- pect your city attorney to be an expert on every matter. City govern- ment is too complex. On occasion, you will need outside counsel and it 'will be a good investment of public funds. 28. Elected officials should accept their leadership responsibilities, such as selling new programs to the pub- Public Nlana~emem/September 1953 lic. The city staff should not act as if they were elected. 29. Make sure you have a good fi- nancial accounting and reporting system, and comply with the cash ha. sis and budget laws. Some cities have gotten into financial troubles in recent years, simply because they spent more money than they had available for the whole year and no- body knew it. 30. Don't act as if the city operates in a vacuum. We must work within the intergovernmental system to be. effective. Keep in contact with your federal, state, county, and school of- ficials. Use your municipal league. 31. Never trust a consultant. You 'are the one who will be around (o yell at if things don't turn out right. Consul- tants should realize this. Even though we can't expect them to go against their best judgment, they should ex- pect us to want to look over their shoulder. 32. Don't be hesitant to budget money for your officers and employ- ees to attend meetings and seminars. These provide learning opportunities a'nd persCnal contacts that can be valuable to your city.. 33. Finally, define what trouble means to you. We must realize that we work in a fish bowl environment- and that most of the things we do af- fect people. Many times they will be affected in a manner they don't like. If trouble means having someone mad at you, you're in the wrong business! We should handle each item in a straightforward way that we know or believe to be correct. If things don't turn out the way they should--after all, public officers and employees can make mistakes--no one can accuse you of improper motives, and you will know you did what you thought was proper. --Reprinted from Kansas Government Journa~ published by the League of Kansas Municipalities Metropolitan Council 300 Metro Square Building Seventh and Robert Streets St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 Telephone (612) 291-6359 Sept. 14, 1983 TO: Metropolitan Area Citizens and Government Officials The Metropolitan Council is exploring the potential for establishing a Metropolitan Housing Fund. The fund would operate to produce affordable housing for people with low and moderate incomes in suburban communities of the Metropolitan A~ea that choose to participate. The Council's Metropolitan and Community Development Committee will hold a public meeting on Oct. 6 at 2 p.m. to hear comments on the proposed fund from communities, agencies and citizens. The meeting will be held as part of the committee's regular weekly meeting in the Council Chambers, 300 Metro Square Building in downtown St. Paul. The enclosed paper, prepared by the Council's housing planners, describes the Metropolitan Housing Fund. It will serve as the basis for discussion at the public meeting. The Council would like suggestions and comments on such areas aE' - Whether there is a need for a Metropolitan Housing Fund in this Region. - What kinds of housing and programs the fund should provide. - Whether the Council, in its role as the Metropolitan Housing and Redevelopment Authority (Metro HRA), should operate the fund. If you wish to speak at the public meeting or have questions about it, please call Shirlee Smith of the Council's Communications staff, at 291-6421. Questions aDo~ the proposed fund should be directed to Housing staff member Sherri Buss, at 29!-5378.

INTRODUCTION In late 1982 the Metropolitan Council authorized its Housing staff to ~xplore possibilities for establishing a Metropolitan Housing Fund (MHF). Since that time, Housing staff has discussed the proposed fund with representatives of local foundations, corporations, city officials and staffs, developers, lenders and others. The Council will also seek the views of Metropolitan Area communities, agencies and-citizens at a public meeting on the MHF on Oct. 6. This paper, prepared by the Council's Housing planners, recommends that a Metropolitan Housing fund be established in this Region, and be operated by the Metropolitan Council through its Metropolitan Housing and Redevelopment Authority (Metro HRA). The paper discusses the need for the fund, provides background material on the fund and its potential, and discusses alternatives 'for its operation and administration. 2. BACKGROUND What is the Metropolitan Housin~ Fund? The Metropolitan Housing Fund will be a significant new partnership among local governments, foundations, corporations, lenders and the Metropolitan Council to produce and finance lower-cost housing. The fund will use contributions or investments from private sources to leverage larger amounts of public dollars to produce affordable housing to fit the needs of communities and residents in our Region. The fund is modeled on the McKnlght Foundation's successful Minneapolis/St. Paul Family Housing Fund, a private-public partnership of the foundation and the two central cities. During the past two years, the Minneapolis/St. Paul program has used revenues from the sale of tax-exempt housing bonds and loans and grants from the McKnight Foundation to develop 1,900 housing units for low- to modest-income families. The Metropolitan Housing Fund will provide similar services to the suburban communities of the Region, which have not been served by the McKnight program. Communities would participate in fund programs on a voluntary basis. Why is the Housin~ Fund Needed? Council research has shown that there is a need to provide nearly 100,000 housing units affordable to people with low and moderate incomes in this Region during the 1980s. The need for such housing is divided almost evenly between the central cities and the suburban communities. Nearly every community in the Region has adopted goals in its comprehensive plan to provide affordable housing to meet its share of the regional need. These plans rely heavily on federal and state subsidy programs to meet the communities' housing goals. Unfortunately, federal programs designed to provide assisted housing have -nearly disappeared. In 1981, only about 600 new subsidized units were built in the Area. A survey showed that more than 3,000 persons applied for 294 suburban units produced in 1982~ New subsidized f~mtly developments usually have two- to- five-year ~-aiting lists, often including 200 to 400 Persons. 'F~mtlies with modest incomes also have difficulty finding homes they can afford. The median-priced new single-family home of last year cost about $78,300. That means a monthly payment of over $900 at current interest rates, well over what most families can afford. In many developing suburbs, where most new Jobs are expected to occur in the 1980s, average new homes sell in the $ 90, O00s or $100, OOOs. With federal assistance gone and city budgets pushed to the limit, pan.~nerships like the Minneapolis/St. Paul Family Housing Fund offer the best alternative for helping to meet the need for affordable housing in the Region. The 'Metropolitan Housing Fund will offer the chance to bring the benefits o~ this type of partnership to the suburban communities of the Metropolitan Area. How Can the Housing Fund Work to Meet These Goals? The Metropolitan Housing Fund will combine a v~riety of resources to provide housing affordable to familieswith low to modest incomes. (For a family of four, this would mean an annual household income of between $13,600 and $27,200 at 1982 rates.) - The fund will include m pool of money that will provide below-m~rket interest- rate mortgages. This pool will consist of proceeds from the sale of tax- exempt bonds (sold by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency or the Metropolitan Council) and/or mortgage funds from a partnership program offered by the Federal National Mortgage Association (FN~). (This program is discussed in detail in the Appendix.) Tax-exempt bonds and FNMA financing can also be used to finance multif~m~ly rental housing. - The fund will also' include a pool of special assistance money to be offered with the mortgages to make them affordable to lower-income f~m~lies. This pool will be derived from loans, grants or investments made by corporations and foundations, and could be repaid when homes are sold. - Local governments can help reduce the cost of new housing units by contributing Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)monies, using tax- increment financing, or modifying zoning or code requirements to reduce development costs. Table I shows the substantial difference the housing fund could make in helping a family qualify for a mortgage loan to buy a $60,000 home. The price assumes a prior community contribution to help bring the unit price well below the regional average price for new homes. The table shows one example of how the .fund's resources can be used to produce affordable housing. Additional detailed examples of the fund's potential for reducing the costs of ownership or rental units are contained in the Appendix. -2- Table 1 EXAMPLE OF $60,000 HOME PURCHASE WITH ASSISTANCE FROM THE FUND Mortgage Loan Without MHF Assistance Mortgage Loan With Below- Market Interest Rate Below-Market Rate Mortgage Loan With Special Down Payment Assistance Purchase Price of Home $60,000 Down Payment $ 3,000 -Mortgage Rate 14% Special Assistance --- Monthly Payment $ 675 Income Required to Purchase 60,000 $ 60,000 3,000 $ 3,000 11-1/2% 11-1/2% 565 $ 535 $28,900 $24,200 $22,900 Goals and Benefits of the Housin5 Fund The fund will assemble money and other assistance in three major ways. 1) It will begin with a goal of raising $5,000,000 in corporate and foundation contributions for the "special assistance" pool described above. At an average assistance rate of $5,000 per family, the fund could assist about 1,000 f~m~lies from this pool. 2) In addition, a combination of tax-exempt bond proceeds from FNMA mortgage funds will be assembled to provide mortgages under the fund's programs. This will probably .be a pool of $55,000,000 or more. 3) Community contributions will be assembled on a project-by-project basis. When sufficient assistance funds have been assembled, the housing fund will begin operations, probably early in 1985. It will provide the following benefits: - Increase the supply of good quality, affordable housing available in the suburbs. - Diversify the housing stock available in the suburbs, both in type and in price ranges offered, to meet the needs of individual communities participating in the fund's programs. Fund programs could be flexible to produce a variety of new ownership units, rental units, "empty nesters'" housing, accessory units, or housing rehabilitation programs. - Provide affordable housing near centers of expanding job opportunities and services in the Region. - Provide Jobs and economic benefits for the Region. - Encourage construction of housing that conserves energy, to augment the long- term affordabillty of the units. - Provide opportunities for area businesses, foundations and pension funds to invest in housing. -3- - Increase property tax revenues for the communities and school districts participating. - Design program activities to be complimentary to, not competitive with, similar programs operating within the central cities~ recognizing the different housing needs and goals of each location. - Help communities meet affordable housing goals adopted in their comprehensive plans. A coordinated fund-rmising effort like the fund could provide communities with resources that would be more difficult and less efficient to obtain independently. .. 3. HOUSING FUND ADMINISTRATION Housing staff discussions with potential funders, local officials, developers, and others indicate a broad consensus on the need for additional affordable housing in suburban communities and the need to develop programs to meet these needs. Most think a Metropolitan Housing Fund sounds like a good idea. However, every potential participant has asked for detailed information concerning who will administer the fund and its programs, who will be eligible to participate and how the fund's resources will be distributed. The Council has discussed several alternative administrative structures, including: - Administration by the Metropolitan Council through its Metro HRA staff and H~A Advisory Committee. - Establishment of an independent, nonprofit organization to operate the fund. - Administration by a new metropolitan commission, an operating agency similar to the Metropolitan Transit Commission and Metropolitan Waste Control Commission. - Administration through the cooperation of the 'Council 'and a local charitable foundation. 'Administration by the Metropolitan Council The Housing staff recommends this option of those listed above for the following reasons: - The Metropolitan'Council has .years of experience in and commitment to affordable housing programs. .. The Council has operated interJurisdictional low-income housing programs in the suburban communities of the Area since 1974 through its Metro HRA. This experience will be vmluable in coordinating the housing fund. No other Area agency has such experience. Through its history the Council has maintained a strong commitment to increasing the supply of affordable housing in the Area in its policies and plans. The housing fund presents an opportunity for the Council to continue its activities in this field. - Administration through the'Councll will allow efficiencies related to start-up time and costs. The Council could use existing staff and administrative.support to oDePate the fund. This w~uld allow a shorter start-up time and lower costs for establishing the fund than the other three administrative options listed above. Ifa new nonprofit agency, commission or partnership were organized to operate the fund, staff and financial resources would be needed to complete necessary legal work and operate the program. Whether the Council should provide such resources is questionable. - The Council can provide staff and administrative support that will allow a~% privat.e monies raised to be used to provide housing~ not to cover administrative .cOsts. Use of Council staff and administrative resources will allow all funds contributed by private donorsto be passed through to housing program~. An independent nonprofit organization would need to raise funds to pay administrative costs above those raised to support housing fund programs. - Council operation .ensures accountabilit¥ to local officials,, funders and participants. As a public agency, the Council and its ERA Advisory Committee's actions are open to the scrutiny of local officials, funders and all fund participants or interested parties. Such accountability is particularly important in developing and operating a program like the housing fund, which will involve many participating communities and a large pool of resources. A private, nonprofit organization would not be bound to such openness or accountability. The structure described for administration of the housing fund is similar to that of the Minneapolis/St. Paul Family Housing Fund, except in the former's provision for public accountability. The Minneapolis/St. Paul program is governed by an appointed board, and operated mainly by the staffs of the St. Paul Department of Planning and Economic Development and the Minneapolis Community Development Agency. While the Minneapolis/St. Paul program has always been operated openly, as a nonprofit organization it is not covered by the state "open meeting" law. Establishin$ a Separate ..Nonprofit Board to Operate the Fund Some local officials and potential donors recommend that the Council establish a new nonprofit board like the Minneapolis/St. Paul Fund's board to oversee the Metropolitan Housing Fund. This option was preferred because: - Contacts cited the success of the McKnight Fund, and attribute its success to the nonbureaucratic and apolitical nature of its board. - Some contacts said the Council should not function as an operating agency. - Some private funders are reluctant to donate money to government agencies, and prefer to give to private, nonprofit organizations. Administration by a New Metropolitan Commission -5- Establishing a commission of the Council to operate the MetroPolitan Housing ~Fund could be a compromise between the first two alternatives. A semi- independent board could thus operate the fund, but the Council would retain ultimate authority, especially in the area of fund finances. However,. establishing such a commission would be a lengthy, and probably controversial, process. Qooperative Administration by the Council and a Local Foundation A fourth administrative option could include Joint operation of the fund by a local foundation(s) and the Council. This option was suggested by the staff of a local foundation that has had previous experience operating pools of money llke the fund. This option would require a decision by the Council to approach a potential partner(s) with'a formal proposal, and subsequent negotiation on the character of such a partnership. This partnership could evolve into an independent, nonprofit administrative structur~ if desired. The process of establishing such a partnership could be a lengthy one. SUMMARY The work of the Housing staff to date indicates that there is a 'need to establish a Metropolitan Housing Fund in this Region. The staff believes the necessary public and private funds can be assembled to make this program work to produce affordable housing in suburban communities, and that public/private partnerships like the fund offer the best method for significant production of lower-cost housing in the current economic environment. Afte~ careful consideration of several alternatives, the staff recommends that the fund be operated through the Council and its Metro HRA Advisory Committee. It believes that this option will prove to be the most efficient and cost- effective, and make the best use of available resources. -6- APPENDIX ATTACHMENT 1 This briefly s,,mmarizes the FNMA (Federal National Mortgage Association) "Municipal Tri-Party Participations" program, and possibilities for using it under the Metropolitan Housing Fund. The Fannie Mae .program is essentially a buy-down plan to provide mortgages at interest rates significantly below market rates. Under the plan: - F~nnie Mae-contributes about 60% of the value of the mortgages and receives a market-rate return on its investment. - A local lender contributes at least 10% of the value, receives market-rate return on its investment, and services the mortgage loans, for a set fee. - A local government, foundation, corporation or other party contributes 30% of the mortgage ~alue and receives its loan back, but with low or no interest. This buys down the mortgage rate. - At least these three parties must participate, although more than three may be involved. - The loans provided are conventional, level payment loans, with a maximum term of 30 years. - According to a formula provided by Fannie Mae, at current conventional loan rates with a 6-10-30 partnership, mortgage loans could be provided at about 9.5%. Advantages - This program could be used as a substitute for tax-exempt bonds. It does not require the income limits and program restrictions that apply under the Ullm~n regulations. - It cmn be done on a project-by-project basis, so that loan rates could vary with the market and we would not be tied into a single interest rate from a large bond sale for the length of the program. - Small projects are possible. Fannie Mae will purchase a minimum share of $250,000. There is no maximum. - Investors get their money back, or funds from cities or foundations can return to a revolving fund. - Seems less complicated and more flexible than the Minneapolis/St. Paul Housing Fund Program. - Has an interesting rehabilitation loan buy-down program that could be useful in older suburbs or in rollover housing programs. - Has been very flexible in adapting to the needs of individual communities and projects. AI"I'AUHH[NI'2 EXAMPLES OF MkI~OPOLITAN HOUSING FUND EFFORTS SAMPLE PROGRAM 1: TOWNHOUSES FOR FAMILIES Developing Suburb B with higher-than-median housing costs ('townhouses typically sell for. $85,000 to $90,000 and single family homes sell for over $100,000) has determined that it needs more.housing for modest-income families employed in the community. The community worked with local employers and the Metropolitan Housing Fund and contributed its own resources to develop a townhouse project for families. Suburb B purchased a small vacant site next to a corporate headquarters that employs a large number of modest to lower-middle income persons. Many of these have been unable to'afford to purchase housing in-Suburb B. The City used tax- increment financing to purchase utilities and write-down land costs for the site, and sold it to a ~eveloper who will construct medium-density, modest-cost housing on the site. The Neighboring Corporation donated a portion of its site for parking and recreational open space to be used Jointly by its employees and families living in the townhouses. The corporation will pay for all impr°vements to tkis space and maintenance.costs.will be divided between.the corporatio~ and townhouse residents. The entire city-owned site can then be devoted to townhouse construction. This combination results in a land price of $2,000 per dwelling unit compared with an actual cost of $8,000 per dwelling unit. The developer and the city worked ~ith technical assistance staff from the Metropolitan Housing Fund .to reduce sidewalk and street requirements, shorten the city permit process, and implement other cost-cutting techniques in the design and construction of the townhouses. The use of corporate land for open space and parking allowed the maximum number of townhouses to be built and assisted in'keeping costs per-unit as low as possible. These techniques result .in a reduction of $5,000 per unit and lowers construction costs to $45,000 per uni~. The developer will market the new units throughout the Area, budgeting sg,o00 'per unit for this effort. There will be a special marketing effort directed to persons employed in Suburb B. The Metropolitan Housing Fund will use its "Mortgage Pool" to provide 11.25 percent mortgages as well as payment assistance to eligible buyers. The Mortgage Pool monies were derived from the Fund's sale of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds. Payment assistance monies were derived from a combination of corporate and foundation investments and contributions. Loan repayments will retire the investment~ and bonds and will .eventually return to the mortgage pool to become a revolving fund. This revolving fund will make additional affordable housing available to families in the suburbs paFttcipating in the Fund's programs. The following charts show both the effect of unit cost reduction as well as. the effects of various ways to reduce monthly payments: Unit Cost Reduction: Townhouses - $73,000 sales price' Construction cost Improved land - $50,000 - with cost reduction $45,000 - $ 8,000 - with land write-down donation $ 2,000 - $ 9,000 $ 9,000 - $ 6,000 $ 6,000 $73,00~ $62,00~ Marketing Developer Risk & Profit · Equity and Payment Assistance Loans The Metropol(tmn Housing Fund could offer three types of loans to families with incomes too low to qualify for straight mortgages: 1. Equity Contribution Loans' (ECL) - Up to $3,000 loaned interest free. This loan applies to the down payment and must be repaid when the home is sold. 2. EqUity...Participation Loan (EPL) - If a buyer does not qualify with Equity Contribution Loan assistance, he or she may also receive an Equity Partici- pation Loan of up to 20% of the .purchase'price. This loan must be repaid when the home is sold. The amount of repayment will depend on the .appre- ciation in the home. The MHF will receive a portion of the appreciation equal to the proportion of its original loan to the purchase price. 3. Graduated Payment Loan (GPL].- If the buyer still does not qualify after getting both Equity. ContribUtion and Participation Loan assistance, they may then make application for an interest-free Graduated Payment Loan..The maximum loan is $5,000, deposited in a pledged savings account and drawn on monthly to cover the affordabtlity gap. Each year the owner's share rises 7.5 percent until.assistance is phased out. The loan must be repaid when the home is sold. All equity loans are secured by a note and assignment of proceeds agreement. The following charts show the effects of equity and payment assistance loans on mortgage-amounts, monthly payments, and minimum income needed.

"The community has determined that its greatest housing need is for rental units for persons of low, moderate and middle incomes. The community contains a medium- size, oddly-shaped piece o~ vacant land adjacent to a shopping center which i~ zoned for multifamily development. High development costs, including high interest rates, h~ve prevehted private developers from building rental housing on the site at affordable rents. The community's HRA put.chased the property and p~'ovided neces'sary utilities a~d improvements using tax-increment financing. This covers land and land develop- ment costs of $200,000 and provides the site at no cost. The city hired a developer with' a proposal to construct a 42-unit rental buildin, g. Financing for the project was provided through the Metropolitan Housing Fund"s sale. of tax-exempt revenue b. onds at an interest 'rate of 11.25 percent., The Mortgage Subsidy Bond Tax Act' of 1980 requires that rental pr6'Je'cts using tax-exempt bond financing provide 20 percent of their units to Section' 8 eligible tenants. To produce units that rent within market rates as well as 20 percent within Section 8 guidelines, the development needs an additional equ'ity investment of $180,000. This investmenl~ is'in .addition to th~ tax increment subsidy and tax-exempt revenue bond financing. The development requires these funds because of most developers' inability to invest more than 15 or 20 percent of a project's development costs. The following pro forma analysis of'a 42 unit apartment project shows the effects of these cost reduction techniques on rents: Development Plan - 42 unit walk' up apartment building '21 two-bedroom and,21 three-bedroom units -.21 covered garages - laundry facilities - picnic area - tot lot - 5 acre site in need of improvement · Development Cost 1.

Unfortunately, I have anothe~ ~onmitment for'that time period and can't be there. in general, I think there is no real problem with the linkage between a Metropolitan Housing Fund and the programs of this Agency. As you and all local officials know, the problems 6f housing affo~dability are substantial and there are virtually, no effective federal programs left to help with the affordability issue. Therefore, all of us who have housing resources available are concerned about, ways in which to make Ehose resources more affordable and ways in which these- resources can be linked up with non-public dollars'to accomplish the affordability objective. As you know, we have. the unique experience in the Twin Cities of having the McKnight Famil~ Housing Program money and of having developed substantial experience in the use of that money in the two central cities. The Metropolitan Council's objective of creating a similar fund for the suburbs oh the remainder of the area is, I think, an important objective and one which I wholeheartedly endorse. There are many ways in which these type of resources can be combined with Housing Finance Agency dollars and we.have already demonstrated.a number of these models within the two central cities. Therefore, I don't think that the creation of a Metropolitan Housing Fund would be in competition with the Housing Finance Agenqy and indeed could be a very important adjunct to our continuing effort to provide affordable housing in all areas of the Twin Cities. I would be glad'to talk to your Con~nittee at a6other time when we could schedule a 'meeting and review in more detail the way in which these program and financing linkages can work.

Adjournment 0618o -3- MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT In the Matter of a Bridge ) Span Obst~6ction to Minnehaha ) Creek Serving a Private Residence ) at 11907 Cedar Lake Road, ) Minnetonka, Minnesota. ) MINUTES OF PUBLIC HEARING On August 18, 1983, the continuation of the public hearing in the above matter was called to order at 7:30 p.m. at the Wayzata City Hall by Chairman Cochran. Managers present: Cochran, Lehman, ~nomas, Carroll Andre Also present were board advisors Panzer, Reep and Macomber. Chairman Cochran explained that the present hearing was a continuation of a public hearing commenced July 21, 1983. Chairman Cochran then called upon the engineer to present a verbal report to the managers regarding any public comments received since July 21, 1983, and to advise the board with respect to any other relevant matters prior to the close of the hearing. Mr. Panzer advised the board that he had received the following items of correspondence and summarized their contents: 1. Letter from Donald L. Asmus, P.E., Director of Engineering, City of Minnetonka,'dated August 4, 1983, reflecting Mr. Asmus' personal views and not those of the City of Minnetonka. 2. Letter from James T. yon Lorenz, Creekside Chapter, Izaac Walton League of America, to Board of Managers, July 25, 1983. Chairman Cochran directed that these letters be made a part of the record. Mr. Panzer observed that the owner of the property immediately downstream of the bridge on the north side of the creek, Mr. William Handsaker, had started construction of a fence commencing approximately 100 feet downstream of the Taylor bridge and continuing along the length of the Handsaker property. He also advised the board that Mr. Handsaker had previously advised the district of his intent to prohibit public portage across his property after the 1983 canoeing season. August 18, 1983 Page 2 ~he engineer reported that Mr. Taylor had submitted two concep~ proposals for raising the bridge since the July 21 hearing an~ distributed copies of those proposals to the board. These included raising the existing bridge deck at an estimated cost of approximately ~4,000 and removing the present deck and replacing it with a prefabricated structure at an estimated cost of approximately ~10,000. Based on his preliminary review, Mr. Panzer recommended that raising the bridge deck appeared to be the most cost-effective of the two options, if .the board chose to consider them. The engineer recommended that the existing structure would need to be raised a minimum of 1.0 feet from its present elevation to provide 3.0 feet clearance for canoeists at flows of 200 cfs. The engineer advised the board that no other written' comments or submittals had been received by his office, and recommended that the board close the record and make findings in the matter. Manager Thomas questioned whether raising the existing bridge deck one foot is sufficient. Mr. Panzer indicated that it was not a complete solution because of the fencing along the creek by both property owners. Chairman Cochran inquired regarding what water levels would result with flows in excess of 200 cfs. The engineer responded that flows above that level would produce less than 3.0'feet of clearance between the water surface elevation and the bridge low member. The board discussed the alternatives available to it. Manager Lehman stated that he favored raising the bridge deck more than 1.0 feet because in his view' it would still be difficult to clear the bridge under canoeing conditions frequently encountered if the bridge were only raised that amount. Manager Lehman then offered the following resolution which he read aloud and moved its adoption, seconded by Manager Thomas: WHEREAS, numerous complaints have been lodged with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District that a private bridge crossing Minnehaha Creek at 11907 Cedar Lake Road constituted an obstruction to passage for those utilizing the creek and constituted a dangerous condition, and o August 18, 1983 Page 3 ~EREAS, the owner of the bridge span has constructed a fence .p~qhibiting portaging around the bridge span on the south side, and WHEREAS, the owner of the adjacent property on the opposite side of the creek has informed the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District that he will no longer allow portaging on his property to avoid the bridge span, and ~K~AS, the Board of Managers determined that an improved portage will not be available and that the bridge span may constitute a public nuisance, and WHEREAS, the Board of Managers therefore ordered a public hearing to be held on July 21, 1983 at 7:00 p.m. at the St. Louis Park City Hall, St. Louis Park, Minnesota to determine whether the bridge span crossing Minnehaha Creek at 11907 Cedar Lake Road constitutes a public nuisance or is otherwise in violation of law, and if so to define and order remedial action regarding the obstruction, and WHEREAS, the public hearing was held pursuant to published notice and personal service on the owner and evidence was submitted by interested persons regarding this matter including written public comment. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Managers of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District hereby makes the following findings of fact: 1. The existing low chord of the bridge at 11907 Cedar Lake Road is at elevation 913.75, approximately five feet above the creek bottom at that location. 2. Adequate clearance for canoeing purposes is present during creek flows of 50 cfs or less. At such times there is a minimum of three feet clearance between the water surface and low chord at the bridge. 3. For flows in excess of 50 cfs, navigational passage becomes increasingly difficult. 4. At flows of 200 cfs or more, portaging around the bridge span is mandatory. 5. The probability of occurrence for a flow of 200 cfs in any given year is 1.0 (100%). P ol August 18, 1983 Page 4 6. ~discharge equal to or greater than 200 cfs from the Headwaters.Control Structure will occur on an average of 10% to 14% in any given year. During this period of time navigational clearance at the bridge span is not adequate for canoeing. 7. Robert Tay%or, owner of the bridge and the adjacent property, has constructed a privacy fence which prohibits portaging around the bridge on the south side of the creek. ~. .~.j~a~ing on the north side of the creek requires passage through a gate in Mr. Taylor's privacy fence as well as passage over the adjoining property owned by William Handsaker. 9. Mr. Handsaker notified the Watershed District by correspondence dated May 3, 1983, that he..would not allow portaging across his property after the 1983 canoeing season. 10. There is no adequate, safe, and permanent portage route around the bridge span for navigational passage during periods when creek flows equal or exceed 200 cfs. 11. Numerous complaints have been received by the Watershed District regarding the hazardous nature of the existing bridge span. These complaints include reports that the inadequate clearance for passage during higher creek flows has'caused property damage to canoes, paddles and other property as well as personal injuries including gashes on peoples' heads requiring stitches. ~ .. .12. The bridge, span is located in an area of the creek where natural conditions exist, such as a boulder, rapids, and trees, command the attention of canoeists in order to safely pass. The existence of the man-made bridge requires canoeists to take unusual actions such as lowering themselves to achieve adequate clearance, This distracts their attention and places them in jeopardy when facing the natural conditions immediately downstream from the bridge. 13. Minnehaha Creek is a unique urban/suburban recreational water resource and has a high volume of canoe usage during periods of adequate flows. 14. Minnehaha Creek is a public water of the State. 15. The existence of the bridge span at 11907 Cedar Lake Road interferes with, obstructs, and renders dangerous for passage Minnehaha Creek during a significant portion of the navigational year. ~ August 18, 1983 Page 5 ~W THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Managers of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District hereby declares the bridge span across Minnehaha Creek which services 11907 Cedar Lake Road in the City of Minnetonka a public nuisance under the laws of the State of Minnesota and hereby orders that said bridge be either removed or raised to provide adequate navigational passage prior to March 1, 1984. Thereupon, Manager Cochran called for public comment or questions from any member of the public present. James T. yon Lorenz, on behalf of the Creekside Chapter of the Izaak Walton League, stated that his organization wanted the bridge. span removed and recommended that the board delete from the foregoing resolution the alternative of raising the existing bridge span. Theona yon Lorenz stated that she does not like the fence and that she has lived on the creek for 54 years and has never built a fence along it. She stated that she had built a fence associated with the railroad track adjacent to her property and her experience was that individuals either climbed over it or broke it down. Robert Taylor, owner of the structure, stated that he didn't previously claim that persons had broken his fence down, but that he has children and large dogs on his property and that that was one of the reasons why he built the fence. Manager Cochran then called for any additional public comments and there were none. So noting, .the Chairman called for a vote on the pending resolution and upon vote the motion carried. Chairman Cochran then stated that it was his view that, given the proposals which had been submitted by Mr. Taylor, the board should not move to enforce the order immediately, but that the staff should be directed to negotiate with the owner to determine whether a negotiated resolution of the matter could be reached prior to the next regular meeting. Chairman Cochran stated that it was obvious to him that if the bridge span remains, even at an increased elevation, there would still be a need for a portage around the bridge. Manager Cochran therefore stated his view that the staff should work toward a resolution of the matter which involved adequate portage around the bridge structure. Manager Carroll stated that it was his sense that an elevation increase of 1.0 feet probably is not sufficient to provide adequate passage and that in his view it would be 2 &o3 August 18, 1983. Page 6 necessary'Go look at other alternatives, including alternate access to'%he Taylor residence. In response to inquiry from the board, Mr. Panzer stated that the surface water profile would be approximately five inches higher at 250 cfs than at 200 cfs and that this would result in only two and one-half feet of clearance from the present structure under those flow conditions. The board expressed its desire to move forward to resolve the matter on a negotiated basis, if possible, but only on a basis that'~the problem would be solved and would not require further action by the bo'ard at a later time. Manager Andre requested that the'ostaff explore other options, including alternate access to the Taylor property. Manager Andre asked the attorney whether it was the obligation of the owner to pay for the cost of ~corrective action and the attorney indicated that since the board had determined the structure to be a public nuisance, it was his opinion %hat removal was the obligation of the owner. Robert Taylor stated tha~ he believed that alternate access from St. Albans Mill Road Was not an available option at this time since he has build a gate adjacent to the existing bridge. Mr. Taylor further stated his opinion that people will still try to nauigate under the bridge under most flow conditions so that one foot of clearance may not'be adequate to provide for safe passage. Mr. Taylor also stated that it was · too expensive to raise the bridge deck significantlY more than he has ~lready proposed. Robert Hare of Frank Kreiser Realty indicated that he had listed Mr. Taylor's property for sale and that it was his opinion that the bridge across the creek constituted an attractive feature of the property. Mr. Hare stated his view that it would decrease the value of the propert~ if it were to be removed. The board then directed the staff to proceed to negotiate with the owner to attempt to reach an agreement incorporating the comments received at the public hearing, including the comments of the board during the preceding discussion, and to return to the board at the next regular meeting with a report whether or not an acceptable agreement has been reached, including adequate portage around the structure. August 18, 1983 Page 7 ~ereupon, Chairman Cochran declared the public hearing adjourned at 8:20 p.m. Respectfully submitted, John E. Thomas, Secretary 05430 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF MANAGERS OF THE MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT August 18, 1983 The regular meeting of August 18, 1983, of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District was called to order by Chairman Cochran at 8:20 p.m. at the Wayzata City Hall, Wayzata, Minnesota. Managers present: Cochran, Lehman, Thomas, Carroll & Andre Also present were board advisors Panzer, Reep and Macomber. Also present was the Honorable Leslie Turner, member of the Edina City Council. Approval of Minutes The managers reviewed the minutes of the public hearing on the bridge span at 11907 Cedar Lake Road held July 21, 1983. It was moved by Cochran, seconded by Carroll, that at page five, second paragraph, second line, the word "a" be deleted and the word "the" inserted in lieu thereof, and that with the foregoing change, the minutes of the public hearing be approved as distributed. Upon vote the motion carried. The managers reviewed the minutes of the regular meeting of July 21, 1983. It was moved by Andre, seconded by Carroll, that the minutes be approved as distributed. Upon vote the motion carried. The managers reviewed the minutes of the special meeting of July 28, 1983. It was moved by Lehman, seconded by Andre, that the minutes be approved as distributed. Upon vote the motion carried. Cascade Lane Manager Cochran then called upon the Honorable Leslie Turner of the City of Edina. Ms. Turner reviewed the background of the Cascade Lane matter, stating that certain properties in the vicinity needed sandbagging for approximately one month during the spring of 1983. Ms. Turner stated that the City of Edina recognizes the high water conditions which ~he board was dealing with duri'ng this year and also that the homes which experienced high water in 1983 are constructed within the floodplain of Minnehaha Creek. August 18, 1983 Pa~ge 2 Ms. Turner advised the board that the City has looked at a number of options in the area, including removal of .the Cascade'Well, Browndale Dam modifications and creek channel dredging. Ms. Turner advised the board that the Edina City Council at its last' meeting on August 15, 1983, adopted a resolution to petition the Board of Managers to dredge the creek channel in the vicinity of the Cascade Lane area. Ms. '~'u~ ~u~i~ed a copy of the resolution to the board, a copy of which is attached and made a part of these minutes. Manager Carroll inquired as to the present sentiment with respect to possible modification of the Browndale Dam. Ms. Turner indicated that she did not think there was local sentiment to make any modification in the dam structure. With respect to the Cascade Well, Ms. Turner advised the board that the historical society is looking at the question of its significance and is to report back to the Edina City Council. Ms. Turner stated that dredging is clearly a desirable.first step which the City believes should be undertaken at this time. Fran Hoffman, City Engineer, City of Edina, indicated that cross-sections recently completed by the City show some sediment build-up at the Cascade Well structure and in the vicinity of the Highway 100 bridge abutments. Mr. Panzer recommended that the appropriate action would be for the City to prepare a formal petition under Minn. Stat. Chapter 112 and that in the meantime, the engineer would review .the cross-section information, prepared by the City of Edina and report back to the Board of Managers at the next regular meeting. Ms. Margaret Francis, a resident of the Cascade Lane area, was present and spoke on behalf of homeowners in that area. She requested the board to look at the possibility of removing existing grouting under the Highway 100 bridge and thereby widening the channel under the bridge. Questions were raised regarding the adequacy of the cross-sectional area under the bridge. Mr. Panzer indicated that the surveying done recently indicated that there was no constriction at that point. Manager Cochran suggested investigating the possible impact of the structure on flows above 200 cfs. Mr. Hoffman stated that, based on his analysis, there is no one source of a problem in the vicintiy, but rather it is a combination of many individual items. August 18, 1983 Page 3 Following review, the board directed the staff to work with staff of the City of Edina in connection with the requirements of Chapter 112. Manager Cochran raised the question of whether a petition is the most inexpensive way to respond to the needs in the area. Mr. Hoffman stated that he thought the project.conceptually involved either a petitioned project or a maintenance project. Manager Carroll stated that he thought that a berm as a solution should be looked at as a possibility. Mr. Hoffman stated that he wouldn't see any problem from the City's standpoint with construction of a small berm in the vicinity. Manager Cochran stated that it would be necessary from the district's standpoint to look at berming as a creek-wide issue, although he did indicate that he thought a small localized berm for this particular area would possibly be an appropriate measure to be considered. Manager Andre inquired whether the City could berm the properties and pay the cost by special assessment against benefited properties. Mr. Hoffman stated that the City of Edina presently looked at the matter as a question of public need to be undertaken from general public funds. The managers thanked Ms. Turner and Mr. Hoffman for their presentations on behalf of the City of Edina and indicated that the staff would proceed to work with the staff of the City of Edina in order to report back to the board regarding a petition, as well as addressing the other issues raised by the board, at the regular September meeting. ~pproval of Permit Applications The managers reviewed a memorandum from the engineer dated August 11, 1983, indicating those applications which comply with the applicable standards of the district and which were recommended for approval on the terms and conditions as set forth in his written memorandum. Following discussion and review of the written memorandum, it was moved by Thomas, seconded by Andre, that the following permit applications be approved subject to all terms and conditions as set forth in the engineer's memorandum: 83-68 Robert L. Payne - placement of 160 lineal feet of Class A and B rip-rap shoreline erosion protection, Lower Lake, Lake Minnetonka, Shorewood. 83-74 Dale W. Sherburne - placement of 139 lineal feet of rip-rap shoreline erosion protection. Upon vote~the motion carried. August 18, 1983 Page 4 Carey M. ~anson - 63 foot setback variance for a new home, 5104 ~d~ewater Drive, Harrison B~.y, Lake Minnetonka, Mound. 83-69 The engineer reviewed the application of Carey M. Manson for a variance from the district's setback requirement to 73 feet from the ordinary high water level of Lake Minnetonka at Harrison Bay. The engineer advised the managers that the applicant has secured verbal consent from the owner of the adjoining properties on either side of the site and recommended approval subject to receipt of a site plan certifying the distance of the setback from the ordinary high water level. It was moved by Lehman, seconded by Andre, that the~variance be granted as recommended by the engineer subjec~ to the receipt'Df the revised site plan as called for by the engineer and also subject to the additional condition of written consent by the owner of the adjoing properties. Upon vote the motion carried. City of Minnetonka - sewer, water, storm sewer and street construction for Stephens Court, Highwood Drive west of Williston Road, Minnetonka. 83-75 The engineer reviewed the application by the City of Minnetonka for sewer, water and storm sewer and street construction for Stephens Court. -The engineer recommended approval, with the condition that no construction be authorized until a grading and drainage permit has been issued to Roger Fazendin (permit No. 83-64) for Stephens Court. The engineer explained that issuance of that permit has been delayed because the Owner cannot grant an easement oyer a%l of the property required for ponding and that the owner of the adjacent property will not grant an easement to the City at this time. Mr. Michael Johnson, Assistant City Engineer, advised the managers that the City will acquire the necessary easements over the Fazendin property by plat when the plat is approved by the City Council. Mr. Johnson further advised the managers that the remaining easements would be acquired by plat dedication at a future date over the remaining area of the pond. Following discussion, it was moved by Andre, seconded by Lehman, that permit No. 83-75 for the City of Minnetonka be approved and issued, that the administrative action of the engineer on permit No. 83-64, authorizing creation of the easement by plat rather than by separate document be ratified, in light of the fact that the City has clarified that the pond has been identified in the City's overall comprehensive drainage plan as a pond to be retained for drainage purposes. Upon vote the motion carried. 7 August 18, 1983. Page 5 Advance Machine Co. - maintenance dredging, emergency water intake pump, 4080 Sunset Drive,....S~rin~. Park. 83-66 The engieer reviewed administrative action taken by him on July 26, 1983, issuing an emergency maintenance dredging permit to the applicant. The engineer explained that a similar request to the board was made for an emergency maintenance dredging permit in 1976 which was issued conditioned upon the applicant investigating a permanent solution to eliminate the need for maintenance dredging. The engineer advised the managers that this investigation was not completed by Advance Machine Co. Following discussion, it was moved by Andre, seconded by Lehman, that the administrative action of the engineer on July 26, 1983, be ratified and approved and that the applicant be directed to investigate ~lternative approaches which would eliminate the maintenance dreding and that the district advise the applicant that the present action was not a permanent solution and was thus in violation of the original permit condition. Upon vote the motion carried. Madonna Chubb Woytcke - floodplain fill, West Arm Bay, Lake Minnetonka, S~i.n~ Park. 83-67 The engineer reviewed the application for after-the-fact approval to place fill material in the floOdplain of Lake Minnetonka. The engineer explained that the fill had been placed to make the property elevation consistent with adjacent lawns and that the existng shoreline area is such that inundation of the upland area during high water.periods on Lake Minnetonka occurs. The engineer indicated that a fill permit had been issued by the City of Spring Park. Following discussion regarding the need to inform the municipalities of the standards of the district with respect to filling within the floodplain of Lake Minnetonka, it was moved by Thomas, seconded by Andre, that the application be denied. Upon vote the motion carried. .William Ulrich - 279 lineal feet of aluminum retaining wall shoreline erosion protection, Crystal Bay, Lake Minnetonka, Orono. 83-70 The engineer reviewed the application for approval to place 279 lineal feel of aluminum retaining wall along the shoreline of a private lagoon area on the west side of Bohn's Point, Crystal Bay. The engineer recommended approval as submitted. Following discussion, it was moved by Thomas, seconded by Andre, that the application be approved as recommended by the engineer. Upon vote the motion carried. August 18, 1983 Page 6 John Massopust - grading and drainage plan for a 3-lot residential subdivision, North of Fox Street, east side of Brown R~ad, Orono. 83-71 The engineer reviewed the application for grading and drainage plan approval for a 3-lot residential subdivision of 10.12 acres. The engineer recommended approval subject to submission of a revised erosion control plan detailing temporary erosion measures. The board indicated concern regarding long-term erosion effects, in addition to short-term construction effects. Following discussion, it was moved by Cochran, seconded by Andre, that the application be tabled with instruction to the applicant to bring the matter back before the board with an evaluation of alternatives for permanent erosion control measures. Upon vote the motion carried. Bernice Brook - grading and drainage plan for Christmas Lake Addition, north shore of Christmas Lake, Shorewood. 83-72 The engineer reviewed the preliminary plat for. Christmas Lake Addition. The engineer explained that the property is the location of the Christmas Lake Motel and the proposal is to develop the property into five single-family lots, each approximately one acre'in size. The engineer recommended approval of the preliminary plat subject to the condition that an easement be granted for the existing easterly storm sewer located on Lot 5, Block 1, and that grading and drainage and erosion control permits be required'for individual lots as they are developed.' The managers expressed concern regarding the lack of grading and.drainage plans for'review ~n connection with the preliminary plat,, indicating that the preliminary plat cannot be approved by the board without a grading and drainage plan also being submitted and approved. It was moved by Lehman, seconded by Andre, that the matter be tabled for lack of. submittal of a grading and drainage plan and that the staff communicate with the City of Shorewood regarding the need for submission of 'a grading and drainage plan for the entire property as a part of preliminary plat review. Hennepin Co. DOT - bridge replacement, road realignment, sanitary force main through channel, Halsteds Bay, Priest Bay Channel, Minnetrista. 83-73 The engineer reviewed the application by the Hennepin County Department of Transportation for bridge replacement and road realignment at the County Road 44 bridge. It was moved by Lehman, seconded by Andre, that the application be approved as recommended by the engineer. Upon vote the motion carried. August 18, 1983~ Page 7 correspondence The Chairman noted the receipt of the following items of correspondence: 1. Letter from the Hennepin County Soil & Water Conservation District dated August 4, 1983, offering technical services to the district for surface water management. 2.~ Chairman Cochran noted that the most recent flyer from the Department of Natural Resources with respect to floodplain filling contained statements regarding recommendations to fill which the board believes contrary to present district policy. The board concurred in the Chairman's views and directed the staff to correspond with the Department of Natural Resources regarding that matter. Treasurer's Report The Treasurer distributed his monthly report dated August 18, 1983, which was reviewed by the managers. Manager Carroll stated that the report included a proposal to pay the final retainage due to U.D. Contracting, Inc. and Midwest Surety Services, Inc. in the amount of ~3,449.50 based on the engineer's review and approval of the project. The managers reviewed and discussed a memorandum from the engineer regarding the final payment request of the contractor 'dated August 15, 1983. Following discussion regarding district revenues, expenditures and various accounting matters, it was moved by ThOmas, seconded by Andre, that the Treasurer's report dated August 18, 1983, be approved and the bills paid as set forth in that report. Upon vote the motion carried. 1984 Budget/Notice of Hearing The managers reviewed a proposed Notice of Public Hearing on the 1984 budget. Following discussion regarding the .preliminary amounts proposed to be levied for the district's 1984 budgets, it was moved by Lehman, seconded by Andre, that the Notice of Public Hearing be published as required by law, that the hearing be held commencing at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, September 15, 1983, at the Wayzata City Hall, Wayzata, Minnesota, and that a summary of the budget be included in the Notice of Public Hearing as required by law. Upon vote the motion carried. Upon motion duly made and seconded, the board directed that a work session be held to review proposed budget figures for the 1~84 budgets to be held at 4:00 p.m. at the offices of August 18, 1983 Page 8 the district's engineer, E. A. Hickok and Associates, 545 Indian Mound, Wayzata, Minnesota, on Thursday, September 8, 1983. The managers noted that the session would be a work session regarding the proposed budgets and that the board would take no action with regard to the budgets at the meeting and that public comment and questions should be brought to the attention of the board at the regular meeting on September 15, 1983, and not the work session of the board. Upon vote the motion carried. Water Maintenance & Re~air Fund/1983 Creek Work The engineer reported that work by the Tree Trust to'. remove debris and vegetation in the creek is nearing completion as to vegetation only and that it would be possible for the tree trust to complete only one canoe landing before completion of the work at the end of next week. The engineer indicated that the work would be done at the Gray's Bay landing. Manager Carroll stated that it was necessary in his view that the staf~ develop a plan for accomplishing the remainder of the canoe landing work during the late fall of 1983 and requested the staff to proceed to prepare such a plan and return it to the board at the next regular meeting. CP-5/Painter Creek The board was advised that Notice of Hearing has been published and served as required by law. The engineer advised the board that certain written comments had been received to date from the Water Resources Board and the Metropolitan Council but that the Department of NAtura~ Resources report had not been received. The board reviewed draft documents relating to the'Order of Hearing and a draft Statement of the Chairman and authorized the attorney to proceed to complete those documents for the hearing to be held August 25, 1983. CP-7/Channel Improvements at West 44th Street The engineer noted that his memorandum dated August 15, 1983, had previously been covered under the Treasurer's Report. USEPA - Clean Lakes .Pro, ram The engineer advised the board that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has requested estimates on what level of grants would likely be proposed under the USEPA Clean Lakes Program for the remainder of 1983. The engineer recommended August 18, 1983 Pa~ge 9 preparation of a grant application by the district estimating the cost of such application at approximately ~10,000. The engineer indicated that a letter from his office to the board dated August 7, 1980, outlined the phases of the work contemplated. The engineer also explained that the concept proposal was originally developed in response to a request from the City of Orono that the district update the Harza report. The engineer advised the board that if a grant application were to be prepared, it would be due by December 31, 1983. The an~i.~c~z ad.vised the board that some of the work which would be included in the grant request will be required to be undertaken by the board under Chapter 509. Manager Carroll questioned the time commitment by the board that would be involved, and questioned the engineer regarding the recommendation. Following discussion, it was moved by Thomas, seconded by Carroll, that the engineer be authorized to prepare a grant application to the extent of ~8,000, to be submitted in accordance with the schedule outlined by the engineer. Upon vote the motion carried. Next Mee~in~/Chan~e of Location The engineer noted that the next meeting will not be held at the St. Louis Park City Hall because of reconstruction work at that building, but rather the September meeting will be held at the Wayzata City Hall. Adjournment There being no further business to come before the Board of Managers, Chairman Cochran declared the meeting adjourned at 11:25 p.m. Respectfully submitted, John E. Thomas, Secretary 0545o Metropolitan Council 300 Metro Square Building Seventh Robert Streets St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 Telephone (612) 291-6359 Sept. 8, 1983 TO: Metropolitan Area Citizens and Governmental Officials The Metropolitan Council is beginning the first major revision of the Housing Chapter of its Metropolitan Development Guide since 1977. The first step in this effort is to assess current and future housing needs in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. The Council's Metropolitan and Community Development Committee will hold a public meeting on 0ct. 6 at 7 p.m. to hear comments on the Area's current and future housing needs from communities, agencies and citizens. The meeting will be in the Council Chambers in downtown St. Paul. The enclosed paper, prepared by the Council's housing planners, describes the proposed scope of the housing needs assessment. It will serve as the basis for discussion at the public meeting. The Council would like suggestions and comments on such areas as: - Whether to Just look at low- and moderate-income housing needs, or to examine the housing needs of all income groups - Whether certain population groups such as handicapped people or households headed by women have special housing needs and - Whether the Metropolitan Council should continue to have a "Fair Share" Housing Allocation Plan and, if so, what 'it should allocate. The Council hopes to receive community guidance on the issues of housing needs and the scope of the proposed assessment. Are we asking the right questions? Are we looking for information in the right places. Should other subjects be included? If you wish to speak at the public meeting or have questions about it, please call Shirlee Smith of the Council's Communications staff, at 291-6421.

Should the Council try to develop a measure of units that need improvement or has enough attention been paid to housing rehabilitation? - Should the Council $i~e .special attention to renter households? Rental housing production has dropped dramatically in recent, years. This may have placed additional pressure on the rental market. Should the Council develop data and information on the characteristics of renter households and rental housing? III. NEEDS ASSESSMENT DATA SOURCES As a basis for revising the Housing chapter, the Council will use housing data and information from-a variety of sources. The 1980 census will be the principal source of inform~ation. The Council will use census data to prepare a housing profile for each county, city and township. Each profile will provide a composite picture of a dozen key characteristics about the locality's housing situation, demographic composition and household income. An analysis of these profiles will point out important housing problems and issues. The Council will rely heavily upon S~mmsry Tape File-4 of the 1980 census. The file's many cross tabulations on population, income and housing data are the best da~ta available for matching households and housing characteristics. The Council will also use data gathered in its long-term Housing Market Study. The study, which includes reports on housing affordability, financing, occupancy trends, production, maintenance and energy use, provides a~ ready data source. In addition, the Council will use the annual survey it conducts of communities to deter~mine housing perfor~nance scores in implementing Housing Policy Bg. The additional da~a gathered to compute these rankings (such as per,nit numbers, and production of subsidized and modest-cost housing) will be helpful in assessing housing needs.

Source: Cvr,'ent [rn~'l(,yn'~,nt Ct ~tistics )-r(~[lr~nl (~ ioures rounded to nearest hundred) EMPLOYMENT AND EARNINGS CONDITIONS aneapolis~St. Paul area nonagricultural wage and salary employment experienced a sonal contraction in July, droppi.ng 17,800 jobs from the June level. Most of the decrease was due to cutbacks in public and private education employment after the end of the school year, as well as a seasonal downturn in retail trade jobs. Preliminary estimates showed a larger than average decline in government employment this year while the retail trade cutback matched the thirteen-year average decline. The construction industry continued to add workers in July. Building and highway con- struction employment is now estimated to be above year ago levels. The other industry sector which showed expansion between June and July was finance and real estate, due to the upturn in residential financing and sales. The healthier construction sector continues to stimulate demand for several of the manufacturing industries, especially· lumber and wood products and fabricated metal · products. Several nondurable goods manufacturing industries with strong seasonal in- fluences also added 'employment in July. A temporary layoff in the transportation equipment industry was the most significant factor in the June to July job loss in the manufacturing sector. Unlike the layoffs in the past three years, however, recent layoffs have been due to a shortage of parts rather than the lack of consumer demand. The length of the average workweek in manufacturing remained about stable in July and is considerably above the 38.8 hours per week in July 1982o CHj~J~ACTERI~TICS OF PERSONS C___~ING UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE The number of unemployment insurance claimants decre'ased by 1,215 from June. The 6.5 percent monthly decrease com- pares favorably with a five-year average increase of 6.6 percent. Most of the monthly decrease occurred in the con- struction and manufacturing industries. Compared to a year ago, claims in the regular pro§ram are down by 12,377. While this is a substantial drop, it must be noted that this July there we·re an additional 8,411 claimants in extend- ed benefit programs. The comparable fi- gure for July, 1982, was 34. The lar- gest decreases from a year ago occurred in the services and manufacturing (espe- cially in the metals and machinery sec- tors) industries. (Regular Benefits Program) HINNEAPOLIS-ST.

THE JOB MARKET The results of the 1983 Minnesota Salary Survey are now available~ This year's survey collected actual rates of pay for persons working in ll9 job categories. A total of 3,635 establishments were surveyed in March of which 2,308 or 63.5 percent voluntarily responded. Information on fringe benefits, such as paid vacations, insurance, retire- ment, and paid sick leave was collected also. The table below shows annual percent increases in wages for Minnesota workers in pro- fessional, office clerical, and blue-collar occupational groups and the Consumer Price Index for the period 1971-72 through 1982-83. The percent increase in 1982-83 was the lowest since the mid-1970Is as lower inflation and worker concern regarding job secu- rity vis a vis wage increases dominated wage negotiations.
