CASE NO. 85-432 CITY OF MOUND Mound, Minnesota Planning Commission Agenda of July 8, 1985: Board of Appeals Case No. 85'-432 Location: 2624 Westedge Boulevard Legal Desc.: Metes & Bounds PID # 23-117-24 24 0005 Request: House size variance to do structural repairs Zoning District: R-1 .A?pI icant: Aaron M. Applequist & Mary J. Pacholke 2624 Westedge Boulevard Mound, MN. 55364 Phone: 472-3008/933-6868 The applicant is requesting to do structural modifications to an undersized dwelling with future plans to add on an addition to the west side of the structure. The lot area exceeds lO,O00 square feet and the lot width is 50 feet. The Zoning Code for the R-I district requires a lot area of 10,000 square feet and a lot width of 60 feet. The minimum size floor area under Section 23.410 is 840 square feet. The structure has a floor area of 540 square feet +. COMMENTS: There are two issues in granting the requested variance.' One is the 'zoning question as to the non-conforming floor area and to establish a hardship to allow the variance to be granted. The other issue is the minimum housing standards that should be afforded an owner and tenants to evaluate habitable living area. My first comments will be addressing the zoning issue. The lot a.rea is sufficient for the zoning district with the ordinance providing for automatic setback variances for. lots of record under the 60 foot minimum. If the lot was vacant, the property owners could obtain a building permit without a variance. The minimum floor area of 840 square feet does pose a problem to the homeowner as they are planning to add an addition to the structdre after the structural modifications are made and their economic conditions improve. When the zoning code described a non-conforming use or structure under the provisions of 23.404, structures are referred to in (1), (2), and (4). The other sections refer to non-conforming uses of structures or land. The use of the property is a single family residence. At this time, the owner has been informed that the trailer home on the property can not be used for a living facility. Section 23.404(2) states "Nothin~ in this Chapter shall prevent restoring of a structure to safe condition when said structure is declared unsafe by the City, providing further that the necessary repairs shall not constitute more than 50% of the fair market value of such structure." Secondly, I have made an evaluation of the structure on June 28, 1985. I have notes on the existing condition such as, but not limited to, the foundation is a crawl space area under the main portion of the structure (18 feet by 20 feet), t~-~f-ront-and--rear-po~ches--ar~ r~$.~--on t.4e ground, the crawl space has concrete and clay tile blocks stacked in portions of the dug out area with no apparent footing for the perimeter nor the masonry fireplace; t~-~---f-i~or~ist$ acc 2 X 6 inc~e-s-wi~-h 2--foot-on-ce~te¢; the beams and posts support systems are inadequate with posts in the dirt and no footing pads; the structure is sided and the interior walls are covered with particle board and sheetrock with no finishing of butt ends and painted over; the windows throughout are double hung with some stops missing and some lead weights missing, but are in operable condition and provide the necessary li.ght and ventilation to each room. There is a kitchen, bath/laundry, living/dining, and one bedroom with entry off from the kitchen(porch). The bedroom is a converted porch with a sloped floor. The ceiling joists and rafters are 2 X 4 inches 2 feet on center. Case No. 85-432 Page 2 2624 Westedge Boulevard The rafters and ceiling joists are overspanned. The ceilings are finished ' with sheetrock and acoustical tile (particl~e squares). The floor under the water closet and the lav sink are plywood with no finish. The structure does not have yard drainage (grading) away from it. The electrical service is 30 amp. with splicing of wiring in the service panel, inadequate outlets and circuits to each room. The plumbing was not completed; the kitchen sink has no water, waste and vent, the laundry has no waste and vent piping, there is no hot water piping and the cold water piping is leaking in some areas with garden hose ~hooked up to the water meter; all fixtures are in good condition. There is no furnace hooked up and no duct work in the structure and no water heater. Recommendation I feel I have no alternative but to ask the City Counoil to declare the building unsafe and proceed to have it removed. n Bertrand Building Official The abutting neighbors have been notified. July 10, 1985 P.S.: Corrections and clarification of this report are as follows: 1. The structure has a floor area of .620 square feet (rather than 540~) The front porch rests on the ground and the rear porch perimeter is resting on the ground; the plumbi.ng is subject to freezing. 3. The floor joists are 2 X 6 inches with 16 inches on center and con- 'forming. 4. Clarification of a declaration bY the city declaring the building · unsafe requires the removal or t~e building brought up to current code specifications.

I have seen many structures with many more problems than yours be rehabilitated into good solid homes; should you want to contract any of the improvements which we discussed, please feel free to call me.

The Commission wants to drop "opaque" as'it's not clear w. hat an opaque surface is. A motion made by Meyer amending Section 23.732.1(f) by striking "constructed of galvanized steel or aluminum", died for the lack of ~ second. Reese amended his original motion so Section 23.732.1(f) would read: "A satellite dish antenna shall have a perforated (meshlike) surface and be of a color ..... " It was discussed that people should have a choice and cost might be a factor. Michael withdrew his second; he stated he can't go along with just one type of material. Ken Smith seconded the motion because he thought we can work with variances. It was discussed that there really wasn't any grounds for a vari- ance; can't be granted on basis of cost. Reese withdrew his motion and moved to table. Steve Smith seconded the motion to table. The vote was unanimously in favor. The Planner was asked to research the' costs of the various satellites around; staff should consider whether they want to grandfather them in; check what to do with existing dishes; if they can be brought into conformancy and get a permit. BOARD OF APPEALS " Item '3. Case No. 85-431 Public Hearing on Proposed Vacation of Unimproved portion of Northern Road abutting Lots 24, 25 and 26, Plat of Subdivision of Lots 1 and 32 Skarp and Lindquist"s Ravenswood (4800/4804/4810/4820 Northern Road) Applicants, Phillip and Eva Hasch, were present. The Building Official reviewed the City Engineer's recommendation..Basically he is saying we can vacate the road, but will need to retain utility easements for sewer and water, as well as for electric, telephone lines, etc. It was questioned if any roadway will be changed from what is there now. Ro.adway it- self will not be changed. City Manager stated the applicants' buildings are on the right-of-way. Discussed width of road and getting emergency.equipment in. Weiland moved and Byrnes seconded-a motion to approve the staff"s recommenda- tion to grant the vacation as requested subject to retaining utility easement for any utilities. The v'ote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. Case No. 85-432 House size variance to do structural repairs at 2624 Westedge Boulevard; Metes and Bounds Description, PID # 23-117-24 24 0005 Mary J. Pach61ke and Aaron M. Applequist were pre~ent. The Building Official revt.ewed the request to do some structural modifications on an undersized dwelling in an R-1 Zoning District. She noted there are two issues; one is the zoning question as to the non-conforming floor area and to establish a hardship to allow the variance to be granted. The other issue is the minimum housing standards that should be afforded an owner to evaluate habitable living area; the structure versus the use of the property in non- conforming. The structures are referred to in Items 1, 2 and 4 of Section Planning Commission Minutes July 8, 1985 - Page 4 23.404. Item 2 states, "Nothing in this chapter shall prevent restoring of a structure to safe condition when said structure is cteclared unsafe I~y the C~ty providing further that the necessary repairs shall not constitute more than 50% of the fair market value of such structure". She had an evaluati0n sheet on what the Hennepin County appraiser had the land and structure valued at. She reviewed the condition of the 540+ square foot existing structure with the front and rear porches resting on the ground; the crawl space under the 18 X 20 foot main portion has clay tile blocks and concrete blocks stacked with no apparent footings and none for the masonry fireplace; the floor joists are 2 X 6's 2 foot on center and the beams and posts support system have no footing pads. The ceiling joists and rafters are overspanned. In addition, the electrical and plumbing is inadequate and incomplete and there is no furnace hooked up, no duct work and no water heater hooked up. Her recommendation is to have the building declared unsafe and to have it removed. Applicants recently purchased the property. With the application for house size variance to do structural, repairs, they submitted a list of materials and a schedule of planned improvements to be completed in 6 months and others in 12 to 18 months. Mary Pacholke stated that in January, prior to the purchase of %t~e property, she had called City Hall and inquired about some things and was told that they could get 'a building permit on the property if they purchased it. On June 13, 1985, she was in the office and was told. she would need a variance. They knew that the dwelling did not meet code. She stated that basi.cally they want to get everything straightened up and when project is complete, they'll have new inside and outside and with the planned addition, they will have well over I,O00 square feet'in the house. They had understood that they'd have to get a variance, but beli. eved it would be no problem. On June 21, 1985, when Jan came out to inspect the house, they said they were told they could get a permit if they did the entire project at once. They felt to do more than what they'd planned in six months, would be undue pressure. It was a surprise to them to read the'~ecommendation which was sent out and received last night. The other thing they wanted to address w~re some discrepancies in the report. Aaron Applequist spoke of the discrepancies--they are: i) The rear porch does have blocks on which the structure is resting; he doesn't know how deep the blocks go. Their intention was, with their building permit, to fix the founda- tion; but stated it is not resting on the ground. The Building Official ex- plained that the lot size is conforming and the lot width has a built-in vari- ance because it is a lot of record. The size of the structure basically deter- mines the valuation and when she got the list from them on what they wanted to do, she did feel that they were asking a great deal and because of the finan- cial inhibitions that they have, she did not feel real'istically that they could bring it up to'the building standards for this value. Ordinarily, they would sit down and work these things out. Some of the other comments Applequist made were: The floor joists are 2 X 6's (unplaned) and set 16 inches on center (as were most structures of that age); also rafters were overspanned (also quite common on older houses); they are Planning to change the direction of the rafters. There are a few tile~ missing in the area under the sink. He commented he went underneath and did not see any water leaking (pipes were sweating, but there were no drips). They plan to Planning Commission Minutes July 8, 1985 - Page 5 do all of the refinishing i.nside. They have purchased Anderson windows. The furnace is down there to be hooked up; also a water heater and piping there which needs hooking up. He stated a tree fell on the roof and broke the chim- ney. The Commission questioned how Jan checked the footings, the age of the house, etc. It was stated the beams and supports were most important. Discussed at length---concern is the large amount of work and one member stated he didn't see a single redeeming feature and that the best thing would be not to allow house to be restored. The CitY Manager stated the bigger issue was how the Commission and Council want to deal with these structures on the long term. Michae.1 asked if there .was a workable solution to this. Jan stated she looked at several things and feels that as they get into' this; costs, even doing all of the labor, are unrealistic. Discussed the length of time, noise, etc. that restoring this property would take. The applicants asked why wasn't something'said before they purchased the prop- erty? House was for sale for several years, why wasn't an effort made then to have house taken down? He commented they would never have purchased it if they had known they couldn't get a permit; it should have been sold as a lot instead of a house. He stated there are a lot of small houses in Mound ~'nd questioned if this is the precedent you want to set? He presented a letter from William L. Beilharz of 2618 Westedge Boulevard which the Chair read. The Beilharz' are in favor of allowing the applicants to make structural improvements and to expand the house. .~ Michael moved and'Reese seconded a motion to deny the request for a variance per staff's recommendation and to declare the building unsafe and proceed to have it'removed. The vote was Meyer and Steve Smith against; all others were in favor. Motion carried. This will be on the Council Agenda of July 23rd. DISCUSSION It was discussed that none of the Commission l~ked to declare the building unsafe; but it was felt it was the only option the ordinance gave them. It was also dis- cussed that they are being consistent in their actions on these issues.. Lot Splits and Lots of Record The Building Official reviewed her. memorandum and explained her feelings. She'd like to have all lots rezoned R-! and al low lots of record to be built on if they have 60~; of required lot' size. She feels we're treating one party one way and another another way. She showed examples that have come up; recently. It was dis- · 'cussed that we would-consider further at a discussion meeting. Commissioner Meyer stated his subcommittee on accessory apartments is now short one member with Vargo moving out of Mound. Discussed briefly.

After receiving letters and notes from several citizens along Edgewater Drive (copies of which you received previously), the Council voted to conduct a Public Hearing at its Meeting on August 13, 198~, to consider the accusations that you have violated condition 2.b. of your permit. If the Council determines that you did violate this condition, it could mean your Use Permit for the facility at 5542 Lynwood Blvd. would be revoked, meaning you could no longer operate out of that building. The second item is, that the Council authorized the City Prosecuting Attorney, (Jim Larson - 338-4200) to prepare a formal complaint against you for violating the same condition. This issue will be before the court system with the witnesses being the various neighbors who submitted the information to the City. Both of these items will require a good deal of time on your part, but as you said the other day it serves to bring to a head the issues relating to what can and cannot be done at the Marina site and it may be worth it in the long run.

HC 4382 (8/83) STATE OF MINNESOTA COUNTY OF HENNEPIN OF MLN NEBOTA VS Plaintiff, THIRD DIVISION X COMPLAINT Steve Pauley Defendant Name first, middle, last 5542 Lynwood Blvd., Mound, MN 55364 Date of Birth Defendant Address Zip Code MUNICIPAL COURT MOUND SUMMONS WARRANT CALENDAR DATE Calendar Date COMPLAINT Kimberly Yilek ; Complainant, being duly sworn, makes complaint to the above-named Court and states that there is probable cause to believe that the Defendant committed the following offense(s). The complainant states that the following facts establish PROBABLE CAUSE: Your complainant resides at 4861 Edgewater Drive in the City of Mound, and states that on June 18, 1985, your complainant observed Steve Pauley's, the defendant above-named, employees at the Blue Lagoon Marina at 4858 Edgewater Drive in the City of Mound pull a pontoon boat off the water, work on it, and launch it back in the water. On June 18, 198,5, your complainant also observed defendant's employees take a boat from the water and trailer it away. On June 22nd, your complainant observed the defendant trailering a boat on Edgewater, and on June 23rd, your complainant observed the defendant's employees tow in a very large non-operating boat to his docks. On June 25th, your complainant observed that the defendant's employees stored a boat . the parking lot all day. Also, on June 25th, your complainant observed employees of th,e [fendant doing adjustments to a .boat engine and revving the boat engine on the lake at the arina. On June 28th, your complainant observed the defendant's employees working on a very large boat in the water at the Marina, including running the engine in a very loud manner for approximately 45 minutes. On June 28th, the defendant's employees also worked on a Criss Craft type boat engine unit all day long. Also, on June 26th, Neil Froeming of 4866 Edgewater observed the defendant's employees testing a boat and motor at the Marina and carrying the lower unit of a boat into a pickup truck. On June 27th, Neil Froeming observed the defendant's employees testing a cruiser on the lake, and on June 28th, the defendant's employees were sanding a cruiser at their dock. The defendant has a conditional use permit which was granted by the City of Mound on June 11, 1985, which precludes testing, loading or unloading of boats at the Edgewater site of the Marina. OFFENSE Therefore, based upon the foregoing, your complainant states that during the period June 18, 1985, through June 29, 1985, within the corporate limits of the City of Mound, the defendant Steve Pauley and his employees, did: COUNT 1, load and unload and test boats at the Edgewater Marina, in violation of a conditional use permit issued by the City of Mound on June 11, 1985 (Violation of a Conditional Use Permit). WHEREFORE, Complainant prays that said offender may be arrested and dealt with according to law.

WHEREAS, Steve Pauly (applicant) has applied for a Conditional Use Permit for minor boat repair and sales; and WHEREAS, the applicant has already commenced operation of the minor boat repair and sales facility at 5542 Lynwood Blvd., a conditional use in a B-1 zone; and WHEREAS, the applicant has stated that all repairs will be minor and that engine and transmission overhauls will not be done on the premises, and that only simple exchanges will be done with new or overhauled parts obtained from suppliers; and WHEREAS, the applicant has stated that boat storage will be restricted to storage only on his property; and WHEREAS, the applicant has stated that there Will be no boat testing, unloading or loading at the 4850 Edgewater Drive site; and WHEREAS, the applicant has assured the Council that no auto repair will be done on the site;'and WHEREAS,-the applicant is applying for a Conditional Use Permit only until August 31, 1985, and the Council has found that said use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses predominant in the area for the next two and one-half months. Nor will such use adversely 'affect existing adjacent uses through noise, glare or unsightliness for the next two and one-half months. However, the Council also recognized that a doyntown development project proposed for adjacent property may change the character of the adjacent uses such that continued operation of the conditional use may adversely affect adjacent uses and may render the conditional use inconsistent with the purposes of the zoning code and the B-1 zoning district in which said use is located. The Council cautioned that should the applicant wish to extend or renew said conditional use permit beyond August 31, 1985, that the question ~of the appropriateness of the continuation of said use as detailed herein would be addressed anew. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mound, Minnesota: It is hereby determined that the proposed minor boat repair and sales facility is until August 31, 1985, in harmony with the general purposes and interest, of the Zoning Ordinances of the City. /yo 106 June 11, 1985 The Conditional Use Permit is granted in accordance with the following conditions: Applicant store all boats and other materials on his property, and not on public street or adjoining properties. There shall be no testing, loading or unloading of boats at the Edgewater site. There shall be no auto repair at 5542 Lynwood Blvd. All repairs done on the premises shall be minor repairs. Engine and transmission overhauls and other major repairs shall not be done on the premises. This permit expires on August 31, 1985. Applicant shall apply anew for a permit for any conditional use after August 31, 1985:, at 5542 Lynwood Blvd. or any other B-1 zoned site within the City. By granting this permit the Council is in no way implying that it will renew the permit or issue a permit for another site. The foregoing resolution was moved by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Jessen. The following Councilmembers voted in the affirmative: Jessen, Paulsen, Peterson, Polston and Smith. The following Councilmembers voted in the negative: none. Mayor Attest: City Clerk June 28, 1985 Dear Bob, Jim, Phylis, & Steve, We Jim & Bonnie Lanns live next door to Steve Pauley's rental business. He very definately is still using and tieing the 2 Blue Lagoon places together. I have a 'picture taken June 23 being towed in and on Friday June 28 I have another picture of them working on this one. Jim said they started it up and rebbed and ran it for an hour. He work~ nights so he tries to nap during the afternoon. They also worked on boats June 27. They pulled a pontoon out and worked on that and put it right back in. They definately did not take it over to Spring Park or Cooks bay. Even if one of Dick Martin's pnntoons sprung a leak with one pontoon sinking down in the water they hauled it over to Spring Park Bay. They definately are not using the pro?:&:ty as described and left to be kept at spe6ifications 'for the City of Mound~.~ be left as is. The noise of people coming in late at night woke me up last Right and one other night. Last Sat JUne~ 15 some guys came in rather loud and unruly and I saw one walking on the roofs tg~f of the buildings over there. When he sa~ me looking out my kitchen window he got down. I didn't get a chance to get a picture. I never in the 7 years I lived here saw people walking on roofs. On June 14, and one' other roaming that was before you told us to keep track, two fisherman got out of _~t~. their cars talking loudly and I looked to see w~at #f~ time it was ~nd it ~'~:30 a.m. Mariin never opened until _~_kO~.m. The guy who painted the fen~ last Sunday June 23 slopped paint on 2 of my brochile plants in the garden I mentioned it to the painter immediately and ~#~ also went over there. Nothing as been done about it. Martin would have taken care of it immediately.. The guy there didn't take my name or phone number. It may~~s.~ ~etty but I work hard in~r~ and want things to grow. Sometimes I wish the people who think Steve Pauly was a nice guy who did business the righ. t way, ones on council who think he is, lived here for awhile would think di£fer¢~.~y and would have definately noticed a difference from now and before. From now on the votes for council members who are real~y concerned about the residents will get Jim~ and Bonnie's votes. I need to use up film and will do so within l0 days.

CITY OF MOUND MOUND, MINNESOTA NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON AMENDMENT OF SECTION 23.640.3 UNDER THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL PROVISIONS OF THE MOUND ZONING CODE TO ESTABLISH PLANNED INDUSTRIAL AREA BY CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Tuesday, July 23, 1985, at 7:30 P.M. at the Mound City Hal1, 5341Maywood Road, Mound, Minnesota, a hearing will be held on the Amendment of Section 23.640.3 of the Mound Zoning Code. Section 23.640.3 will be amended to add "Planned Industrial Area'! as conditional use. Planned Industrial Area will permit multiple usage and subdivision of the industrial properties subject to the provisions of the ordinance. This ordinance is intended to permit the division and full utilization '6f the vacant Tonka Toy Plant by one or more business entities. All persons appearing at said hearing will be given an opportunity to be heard. ~ Francene C. Clark, City Cl~rk' ~ 3030 Harbor Lane North, Suite 104 Minneapolis, Minnesota 55441 612/553-1950 PLANNING REPORT TO: Planning Commission, City Council and Staff FROM: Mark Koegler, City Planner ~/ DATE: July 17, 1985 SUBJECT: Planned Industrial Area Ordinance In recent weeks, the Planning Commission has been reviewing an ordinance draft which is intended to permit the subdivision and full usage of the vacant Tonka facility. The traditional Light Industrial (I-l) provisions of the Mound Zoning Code limit the property to one principal use which ia effect means that when C.R. Manufacturing occupies the building, no other uses will be permitted in the remainder of the structure. Additionally, most uses in the I-1 zone are allowed under a conditional use permit which requires a public hearing. With publication deadlines and meeting schedules, a public hearing can pose a significant delay in the processing of an application which can complicate relocation of businesses in today's extremely competitive market. In order to overcome these obstacles, the Planning Commission reviewed an ordinance draft prepared by the City Planner (Exhibit 1) which established one conditional use permit for the entire structure and used the occupancy permit as a final review of a business prior to its operating in the Tonka structure. The intent of this ordinance was to permit the subdivisio~ of the property and to allow businesses to locate in Mound with minimal delay due to municipal review. In reviewing this draft with the city attorney, several valid points of concern were raised. The major problem with the first ordinance draft is that the occupancy permit does not allow an adequate review by the city prior to a business assuming normal operations. For example, through the ordinance draft, a manufacturing facility, if listed as an appropriate use in the conditional use permit could modify its interior space, move in machinery and then seek an occupancy permit fro~ the Building Official. If the Building Official determines that any problems exist, she has to deny the permit until such time as the discrepancies are corrected. When a business invests time and capital in preparing to operate, a substantial amount of pressure will be placed on the Building Official to issue the permit. Such a situation could put the Building Official in an "unfair" position leading to decisions and interpretations which more appropriately should be made by the Planning Co.~mission and City Council. After reviewing this issue with the City Attorney, we reached a compromise which should permit adequate flexibility from a marketing prospective while preserving an appropriate level of review by the City. The proposed Planned Industrial Area Ordinance (Exhibit 2) establishes a planned industrial area by conditional use permit in essentially the same manner in which Planned Development Areas are established. The ordinance permits the subdivision and legal conveyance of various sections of the Tonka building subject to City review of the plat. Permitted planned industrial area uses are identified in Section 23.650.5. Any of these uses could begin operations in the Tonka building at any time without additional Planning Commission and City Coucil review. Section 23.650.6 establishes a number of uses by the issuance of a new "operations permit". An operations permit applicaiton will be reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council but not require a public hearing. This results in a considerably shortened time frame for approval. Under the ordinance draft, a public hearing is optional at the City Council level if it is determined that one is needed. Uses by operations permit are stated in the ordinance draft along with a corresponding Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code or code prefix. A complete list of SIC codes appears in exhibit 3. The use of SIC codes in classifying planned industrial uses establishes a clear listing of potential uses. The list of uses by operations permit is far more extensive than the list of permitted uses. This occurs primarily due to the fact that the Tonka building is an existing strUcture rather than a proposal for a new industrial facility. The fact that the bqilding is in existence and has a finite amount of parking and surrounding open space mandates a more stringent approach. As an example, since the ultimate tennant mix is unknown, the buildings parking requirements are unknown. The Tonka building contains slightly more than 400,000 square feet of a~ea and has 382 available parking spaces. The following example depicts various tennant mixes and the resulting parking requirements. Tennant Mix Sq. Ft. Parking Standard ~arking Required 50% Industrial 200,000 1/2000 sq. ft.* 100 25% Office 100,000 1/400 sq. ft. 250 25% Retail 100,000 1/150 sq. ft. 667 75% Industrial 300,000 15% Office 60,000 10% Retail 40,000 1/2000 sq. ft.* 1/400 sq. ft, 1/150 sq, ft. 1017 spaces 150 150 267 567 spaces 75% Industrial 300,000 20% Office 80,000 5% Retail 20,000 1/2000 sq. ft.* 1/400 sq. ft. 1/150 sq, ft. 150 200 133 TOTAL 483 spaces *Minimum industrial standard, more spaces may be required. As these examples indicate, the parking requirement for the Tonka Tech Center may vary significantly depending upon the tennant mix. The review and issuance of an operating permit will allow the City to monitor parking and other physical aspects of the project as it continues to attract new owners and tennants. RECOMMENDATION: If the Planning Commission and City Council find the revised approach to the Planned Industrial Area Ordinance acceptable, it is recommended that exhibit 2 be adopted as an ordinance amendment. exhibit 1 Add to 23.640.3 Conditional Use Planned Industrial Area subject to the requirements of 23.650.

PID # 13~117-24 34 0066 All persons appearing at said hearing will be given an oppor- tunity to be heard. Francene C. Clark, City Clerk 3~30 Harbor Lane Suite 104 Minneapolis, Minnesota 55441 61~553-1~50 FROM: DATE: SUBJ: City Council and Staff Mark Koegler, City Planner ~ July 17, 1985 Conditional Use Permit - Balboa Minnesota Every effort has been made to expedite an ordinance change and subsequent approval of the conditional use permit for Balboa Minnesota pertaining to the sale and lease of the Tonka building. A public hearing has been called for Tuesday, July 23, 1985, in order to consider the approval of the conditional use permit. Unfortunately, concurrent processing of both the ordinance change and conditional use permit has proven to be unrealistic due to logistical and time constraints. As an alternative, staff suggests that the City Council open the public hearing .on the issuance of Balboa's conditional use permit. The public hearing can consist of a presentation by Balboa on their anticipated use of the building along with any questions and comments by the City Council and members of the public. The City Council may want to consider continuing the public hearing to the meeting of August 13, 1985. Prior to that meeting, Balboa can submit the required conditional use permit application and supporting documentation for staff review and comment. Assuming that no major problems occur, Balboa may be able to receive final approval on its planned industrial area on August 13, 1985. Initiation of the public hearing at the meeting on Tuesday, July 23rd will meet all of the legal requirements without causin~ undue delay to the appliCant.

Ifl Yours truly, Jan Bertrand Building Official Council Hinutes of }0-9-8h on Accessory Apt. Discussion JB/ms & Planners letter of 9-18-84 cc: City Hanager Planning Commission 41/85 3030 Harbor Lane North, Suite 104 Minneapolis, Minnesota 55441 612/553-1950 PLANNING REPORT TO: Planning Commission and Staff FROM: Mark Koegler, City Planner DATE: September 18, 1984 SUBJECT: Ordinance Amendment CASE NO.: 84-364 APPLICANT: Kevin Norwood LOCATION: 2521Wilshire Boulevard South COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Single Family R-1 (10,000 Square Feet) PROPOSAL: Mr. Norwood is requesting that the City of Mound con- sider modifying the zoning ordinance to permit accessory apartments. The applicant presently has an accessory apartment in the basement of his hqme and is facing prosecution by the city for violation of the existing ordinance. Prior to either his removal of the acces- sory unit or the retention of a defense attorney, Mr. Norwood has approached the city attempting to m([dify the zoning ordinance to legalize his present use. COMMENTS: Accessory apartments were first considered by the city in May of 1983. At that time, material was presented to the Planning Commission for discussion purposes. (Enclosed) I have recently re- viewed the issue with Metropolitan Council staff, Minnesota Housing Finance Agency staff and planners in the cities of Edina, Maplewood, Cottage GroVe and Richfield to get an overview of local experiences. Although Mr. Norwood's application has again raised the accessory apartment issue, it should be reviewed in a community context rather than on an individual case basis. In order for accessory apartments to be appropriate at any location within the City of Mound, they should conform to the city's overall housing goals and policies. This requires an assessment and discussion of current city policy by the Planning Commission and City Council in order to determine if 'acces- sory apartments should be allowed. Planning Commission and Staff September 18, 1984 page 2 Numerous accessory apartments exist within the city at the present time. It is impossible to identify an exact or even an approximate number since the city becomes aware of such uses only on a complaint basis. In Mr. Norwood's case, the building inspector was conducting an unrelated inspection when she noticed the existence of two living units. Most cities seem to have an unwritten policy that they tol- erate illegal accessory apartment units unless a citizen complaint is received. In order to aid the Planning Commission in a discussion of this issue, I obtained the following information from metro area communities. Cottage Grove - Cottage Grove is the only community that I could find which adopted an ordinance permitting accessory apartments. Their planner indicated that the issue was volitile despite the fact that their zoning ordinance has always permitted multi-family dwellings as conditional uses in single family areas. The Cottage Grove ordinance allows staff to issue an accessory use permit providing'that: 2. 3. 4. The principal residential use is owner occupied. The unit must maintain a single family appearance. Two parking stalls are required per unit. Accessory apartments are limited'to 10% of the structures within a given block. Neighbors are notified of a 30 day comment period. According to their staff, the adoption of the ordinance in Cottage Grove has not "opened the flood gate" of accessory apartment uses. To date, very few permits have been issued. Maplewood - Maplewood considered the accessory apartment issue approximately two years ago. At that time, they prepared a draft ordinance which required: Approval of such uses was limited to the issuance of a special acceptance permit by the City Council. The primary residential dwelling had to be owner occupied. Accessory apartments were limited to a maximum floor area of 600 feet. Sufficient off-street parking had to be provided. Units were limited to one front entrance. ' Accessory apartments required the addition of a deed restriction on the property. Occupants of both dwellings were considered as one family in assessing the total number of allowable residences. The Maplewood Planning Commission and HRA approved the ordinance, however, the City Council denied it due to the concern of extensive expansion of such uses. Planning Commission and. Staff September 18, 1984 'page 3 Edina - Edina recently considered the accessory apartment issue. Their review was focused on a zoning amendment that: Limited the accessory apartments to locations identified on the comprehensive plan as two family residential lots. Such lots are found only along collector and arterial streets. Owner occupancy was required. The structure was required to maintain a single family appear- ance. Parking and two garage stalls per unit were required. After considerable discussion and a number of joint meetings between the Planning Commission and City Council, the city decided not to im- plement a zoning amendment permitting accessory apartment units. A major reason cited by city staff for this action, was a fear expan- sion of accessory apartments from two family areas into single family neighborhoods. Richfield - Richfield has taken an approach similar to the one at- tempted by Edina with one notable exception. Richfield allows acces- sory apartments along arterial streets designated for two family re- sidences. They are using the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency loan program to convert single family structures to double units in these areas. In doing this, they are establishing full double units rather than a primary single family unit and an accessory apartment. Acces- sory apartments are not permitted in single family neighborhoods. RECOMMENDATIONS:. The acceptance of accessory apartments in single family neighborhoods is a policy issue which needs to be thoroughly reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council. If it is de- cided that accessory apartments are acceptable in Mound, conditions similar to those used in Cottage Grove, Edina, Maple Grove and West- chester County, New York should be drafted into an ordinance for full review and comment by the community.

Planning Commission Minutes Se'pte~ber 24, 198~ Case No. 84-364 Zoning Ordinance A~endment for 2521Wilshire Boulevard Tract B, Registered Land Survey # 453 - PID # 24-117-24 21.0004 Kevin Norwood was present. The City Planner, Mark Koegler, reviewed his report on the proposal. Mr. Norwood i~ requesting that the City consider amending the Zoning Ordinance to a~low accessory.apartments within the single family zone. This was prompted by the fact that he presently has such a unit in the lower portion of his house and is facing prosecution by the City Attorney. He found it reasonable to try to recitify the situation.':'ln May of 1983, the Planning Commission reviewed the accessory apartment issue, but there were no con- clusions reached. Thls issue is much bigger than just thls one case. There are numerous accessory apartments within the City at the present time. Koegler stated that in talking to other Cities about this, they have indicated they take a hands off attltude unless they'receive a complaint from the citizens. Cottage Grove l.s the only community that has an ordinance permitting accessory uses tn R-i with a conditional use providing they meet the' guidelines. There is no staff recommendation on this, but if Commission is interested, they should request a draft of an ordinance. Kevin Norwood presented a letter written· by his wife and himself outlining what they have done to house since purchasing it early in 1982; they purchased home with the Intent or'renting the downstairs to help subsidize the payments as previous owner~had renters. Ouane Norberg. submitted a pe.E~on of homeowners in the Dutch Lake area who are ega~nst multJ-famJl~ dwellings; they moved into R-1 District for peace and qui'et and want to go on record as against two family residences. Pat Bose was present stati.ng she has two single girls living with her daughter and herself. She commented that accessory apartments are very prevalent in Mound. Steve Chase. did not have a complaint about Pat Rose stating she is a supe~.ne, ighbor, but that a house·behind Norberg is a party house and often very norsK. Earl Norwood, Kevin~s Dad, stated that prior to the purchase, they talked with the previous, owner of the house who said they didn't have any problems 'with rental of. the downstairs. ·Thinks there should be some criteria for allowi.ng rentals in some places--on high traffic streets or whatever. After lengthy discussion,·Reese moved a motion that we recommend to the City Council that we not consider a change in the Zoning Code to allow accessory apartments, in the R-I.Di~trict at this time. Motion was seconded by Weiland. The vote was Reese and Weiland in favor of the motion; Jensen, Meyer and Michael against. Motion failed. Connie Meyer who had come for.-the first item on agenda, stated she couldn't believe this is all happening. Thought that if it doesn't bother anyone, can't see why this js not allowed. Meyer moved that we send this proposal, to the City Council for further dis- cuss~on and for them to give the Commission further direction, if necessary. The vote was Reese and Weiland opposed; Jensen, Meyer and Michael in favor. Motion carried. The City planner stated the City Council would do one of two things: Discuss the issue and, if they decided ithad some merit, they would send it back to the Com- mission (that does address the policy issues from the Council's standpoint and provide you with some over-all direction); the other way is to ask the Staff to come up with a draft ord[nance that we can further discuss with the Planning Com- mission before it goes·to the Council. The danger is that the City Council may bare no interest in this at all. It was discussed that this. was a public hearing. The Chairman asked that it be noted the notice was not published. The Chairman stated he wanted one thing carried !n the notes: "When a public hearing is to.be had, from now on., he thinks that we should publish the notice". Michael and Jensen both stated they concurred with this.. THe other Commi.ssioners stated they, too, were in favor of the notices being published. The Chairman commented that this affects the whole ~-1 District and that this was not handled very well at all. ADJOURNMENT · ~lanning Commission Minutes January 28, 1985. BOAR'D OF APPEALS -- Case No. ~ Zoning Ordinance Amendment to allow Accessory Apartments within R-I District for 2521 .Wilshire Boulevard Tract B, REgistered Land Survey # 453 PID 24-117-24 21 0004 Mr. & Mrs. Kevin Norwood and Mr. Earl Norwood were present. ~he Building Official explained ~hat on September 24, 1984, the Commission had looked at the Zoning Amendment Request from Kevin Norwood to amend the provisions of the R-I Distri'ct to allow an.accessory apartment at 252l Wi.lshire Boulevard. The City Manager stated that. basically we were trying to resolve this request which had unintentionally been left in. limbo. This Commission had asked the Council for some di'rection on this-type of issue and they passed a motion, "to decline to amend the. Zoning Ordi'nance to a11ow'accessory apartments in the R-I District~'. As t. he appl..i'cant made a formal, application and did pay his fee, the Commission has the request back for a recommendation so the Council can specifi- cally act on thi's i'tem. It also requires a public hearing. Weiland moved and Byrnes seconded, a motion to'discontinue any further allowance of accessory apart-ments within the R-I District, After a length discussioo'on the pros and cons of allowing accessory apartments, the question was cal.led. The vote was Byrnes and Weiland. in favor; Meyer, Michael, Reese, Kenneth Smith; Vargo and Jensen .against. Steve Smith abstained. Motion failed. Reese stated he thought the maj0rJty of the. Commission here would like to see some modification to allow these people and others like them not to de hurt. Discussed allowing under stringent enough conditions to keep quality very high. Reese moved a motion seconded by Michael that the Chair of this Commission appoi~<_? ¢ a sub-committee to work with the Planner and come up with language for a zoning amendment/develop criteria and come back to the Commission in 50 days with a recommendation. , The Chair asked Mr. Norwood if this sounded, alright to him - subcommittee would try to do something with our zohing that would allow situations like his to exist; meanwhile, his particular request would be set aside for awhile. Mr. Norwood was in flavor of' thi's. - The vote on the motion was unanimously in favor. The motion'carried. 'The Chair appointed the following volunteers.for the subcommittee: Bill Meyer, Chair; Ken Smith, Mike Vargo and Frank Weiiand. DISCUSSION ON AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE TO ALLOW ACCESSORY APART- MENTS WITHIN THE R-1 DISTRICT The City Manager explained that this item came up at the Planning Commission Meeting. Mr. Norwood has an accessory apartment in his home. Mr. Norwood had purchased the house with the intent of renting the downstairs to help subsiduze the payments which is what the previous owners had done. The Planning Commission sent this item to the City Council for further discussion and asked for direction from the Council on whether there should be an amendment to the present Zoning Ordinance to allow this. Councilmember Peterson thanked the Staff for the complete background material that was supplied. The Council discussed the pros and cons of this type of zoning and decided it did not want to change the Zoning Ordinance and create spot zoning. Mayor Polston moved to .table this item. of a second. The. motion died for lack Peterson moved and Charon seconded a motion to decline to amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow accessory apaFtments in the R-l'District. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. PROPOSAL FOR COMMUNITY RECYCLING PROGRAM The City Manager introduced three of the members of the Recycling Committee, Kathy Kluth, Marcia Jerde and Jackie Meyer. Jackie explained that there were six people on the task force who worked, to educate themselves on recycling, and st6dying other communities who presently have recycling programs. They studied the 2 ideas of 1) having a drop off site or 2) having curbside pickup. Because drop off sites don't seem to work that well they have decided to recommend curbside pickup. They presented a Budget to the Council with a total of $1,500.00. The program would begin in the Spring of 1985. Z The City Manager explained that we could fund this initially thru Hennepin County or we could add a surcharge of approximately $.25 a quarter to the water and sewer bills. The goal would be to make the program self-sufficient. The Staff is recommending that the Council accept the proposal, officially appoint the current committee and direct the Staff to start the framework for getting the program going by the Spring 1985. A target' date of April 20, 1985, is suggested. Paulsen moved and Jessen seconded the following resolution: RESOLUTION ~8~-168 RESOLUTI6N TO ACCEPT THE REPORT OF THE RECYCLING COMMITTEE, APPOINT THE CURRENT MEMBERS TO THE COMMITTEE AND DIRECT.

In reviewing my records this past week I discovered that I had not received a response. The date of the Tournament is August 25, 1985, with the hours from 5:30 AM to 3:00 PM. The site would once again be the park adjacent to the old Surfside at the landing ( I believe the park is called Moundbay Park).~ The LMCD,Department of Natural Resources,Hennepin County Sheriff's Department have all issued permits for this event. As in past years the DNR will be present for research and all fish will be released back into the lake. I would anticipate approximately sixty boats with 120 fisherman. If you have any questions please call me at(Office-938-8885) (Home-935-8558) Thank you for your consideration in this matter. s trul~ ~ Earl .~. Johnstn Earl Johnson 13401-Maywood Lane Mtka.

First, you are correct in noting that all surface preparation work was to have been approved prior to painting. However, you began painting the exterior of the 300,000 gallon tank without receiving authorization, after twice being instructed by us to do so. Your representation of the meeting on October 24th at the job is not accurate. We had discussions with your representative, Gary Anderson, even prior to the bid opening regarding the appropriateness of a No. 7 Blast C°leaning on the 300,000 gallon tank. After discussions with Twin City Testing personnel, city officials and Mr. Anderson, we decided to stay with the specified No. 7 Blast Cleaning on this tank. This was reaffirmed in the meeting of October 24th and you were instructed to proceed with the specified blast cleaning. You did not proceed according to instructions for surface preparation and began painting the tank without authorization. Inspections by Twin City Testing this spring, and observations by other contractors and personnel indicate you did not provide blast cleaning in accordance with SSPC No. 7 as required. Furthermore, your agreement with the City of Mound does not allow you to charge interest on payment due. In addition, you agreed to cover administrative costs of the City, specifically those of Twin City Testing in December, 1984. Such costs will.also be deducted from your final pay request.

Se Regional Transit Board was represented by Planning Manager Katie Turnbull. Medicine Lake Lines, Inc. was represented by Mr. Mark Fuhrmann. Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch Consultants was represented by Ms. Amy Vennewitz. Mr. Snowden introduced Mr. Tollefsbol and Mr. Dillery, giving an outline of the meeting. He stated that Mr. Tollefsbol would state in general terms what we were trying to accomplish and that Mr. Dillery would give more detailed information about the routes that are proposed. MR. D~qNIS TOLLEFSBOL: Mr. Tollefsbol thanked all in attendance for coming to the meeting, emphasizing that MTC staff and Commissioners were present to listen to people's suggestions and concerns. He then emphasized that we must keep the planning process moving along for 1-394 related service, since construction of the freeway has already begun. Mr. Toll~fsbol then reminded all those in attendance to be sure to sign the MTC sign-up sheet so that MTC staff would know where to send responses to suggestions given. Lastly, he introduced Transit Planner John Dillery. MR. JOHN DILLERY: Mr. Dillery introduced everyone to the outline which described the proposed routes and the four options for the first phase of operations on 1-394/US Highway 12. Dillery emphasized that the ideas are tentative subject to the people's approval. Next, Dillery explained the six goals for the first phase of 1-394 MTC service. The six goals are: 1. Facilitate utilization of the interim express lanes. e Provide capacity to handle ridership growth, recognizing that the present Route ~51 schedule can absorb more rush hour passengers, but is experiencing weekend overloads. 3. Maintain schedule reliability between all points. 4. Allow for uncertain levels of funding for 1-394 bus operations. -2- Be Improve transfer connections between local and express services to improve non-downtown travel opportunities, using timed-transfer techniques. 6. Develop a simpler route structure to facilitate public acceptance of the service revisions. Mr. Dillery went on to explain that the express lanes were assumed to permit express buses to make presently scheduled travel times between Wayzata and downtown Minneapolis. This would be true in the midst of worsening traffic delays due to 1-394 construction. The use of more articulated buses, with 67 seats for passengers, was put forward as a possibility on Highway 12. Local buses would be assumed to operate exclusively in the regular traffic lanes of Highway 12 and would begin experiencing more and more delay on the highway, which, in turn, would mean a higher operating cost for every local trip operated. Local buses will pick up more passengers at stops along Highway 12, since the express lanes will not permit express buses to make stops for passengers except at Co. Rd. 73 park and ride. Dillery explained what was meant by the term timed-transfers. The example of buses lining up and waiting at a stop to exchange passengers was used to explain how a timed-transfer point would work. The advantages of the timed- transfer approach, as incorporated under options 3 and 4, were said to be better route coverage in the suburbs and, in some cases, more frequent bus service. Improved connections between routes would mean that people could travel to many destinations in their suburban area with greater reliability. A complete and detailed description of options 1, 2, 3 and 4 was given next. Dillery referred each option to the six goals described earlier. He gave examples of how a 'passenger would utilize Route %51 and Route %75 together for options 3 and 4. The operation of express buses on the interim express lanes was reviewed. Plymouth Road and Louisiana Avenue would not be possible to use until bus stations are built at those locations. Dillery emphasized that option 1 was the cheapest and option 4 was the most expensive alternative. Option 2'and option 3 were said to be the only likely options for 1985 or 1986. The fact that only option 3 and option 4 solve the weekend passenger overload problems was emphasized at this point. Dillery explained that more transferring would be required during non-rush hour times at Wayzata for persons living west of Wayzata under options 3 and 4. It was emphasized again that these transfers at Wayzata park and ride would be designed to be the best possible. Dillery concluded his presentation by explaining the MTC staff preference for option ~3. Option 3 would satisfy the six goals for the first phase of 1-394 MTC service at a reasonable cost and could be readily expanded towards the service levels of option 4. The people in attendance were asked their opinion of the various route changes proposed under-options 3 and 4. Regarding the route change in Wayzata for Route %75 express buses, 12 voted in favor, 0 were opposed. Regarding the route change near downtown Minneapolis for Route %75 express buses, 9 were in favor and 1 opposed it. Two stated that they had no opinion. Route ~75K via Old Crystal Bay Road, instead of Co. Rd. 146, drew criticism from an Orono resident. One voted in favor, two were opposed. -3- Mr. Dillery then opened the floor to discussion of the options and the existing Route 951 service. MS. HAZEL DOUTHIT: Ms. Douthit requested that the K route through Long Lake and Orono remain on Co. Rd. 146 instead of being run on Old Crystal Bay Road. She questioned how MTC staff decided to change the route. Mr. Dillery responded that a check of every trip on the K branch, done about three years ago, indicated that the section of Co. Rd. 146 proposed for abandonment did not generate any ridership. He further suggested that aerial photographs and a field survey of the area showed that there were about twice as many homes along Watertown Road and Old Crystal Bay Road than exist along Co. Rd. 146. MR. PETER KR~.?JEY: Mr. Kelley noted that the midday service via Route K had been discontinued some years back and that, ever since that time, he required rides to reach Route 951 buses at Wayzata. He boards Rt. %51K when he can, at the corner of Co. Rd. 146 and Fox Street. He opposes the proposed change in route. C~AIRMAN FRANK SNOWD~: Chairman Snowden introduced Commissioner Bruce Nawrocki, representative of the suburban communities on the MTC board. John Capell was introduced next. Mr. Phil Braum and Ms. Katy Turnbull were introduced next. Snowden then acknowledged Ms. Mary Anderson, Mayor of Golden Valley and Mr. David Olson of the TWIN WEST Chamber of Commerce. MR. JOHN DILLER¥: Mr. Dillery asked the people how many favored option 2, Route #51, in its conventional form or option 3, new Routes 951 and 975. Seventeen of those present favored option 3. One favored option 2. Two had no opinion. MS. BETSY SWARTNOOD: Ms. Swartwood is acting Mayor of the City of Long Lake. She said that the K route had been the subject of much discussion at City Council meetings. The Council has approved MTC operation on the modified route via Watertown Road and Old Crystal Bay Road as.far as it affects Long Lake. Council members are concerned that service would not be as good to the Crystal Bay area on Co. Rd. 51 and Co. Rd. 146. The City Council is further concerned that service should be maintained on Watertown Road east of Co. Rd. 146, since it serves a public housing area and a senior citizen building. She noted that several handicapped persons utilize MTC bus service on that section of Watertown Road. She went on to encourage MTC staff to contact the City of Long Lake with the construction of a park and ride site in downtown Long Lake in mind. -4- MR. JO~N DILLERY: Mr. Dillery responded that staff would be happy to pursue this excellent suggestion. Dillery pointed out that service to the Crystal Bay area via Co. Rd. 51 would actually be improved via Route ~75S under option 3. MS. AUDREY EVENSCN: Ms. Evenson represented herself as a reporter for the Sun Suburban Newspapers and as a citizen of Mound. She stated that the cost implications of the various options should be discussed more carefully before people are asked to decide which option they prefer. MR. JO~N DILLER~: The cost of the various options were reviewed. After further qUestions, Dillery noted that fare levels would not change under any of these options. Express freeway status (an extra 10¢ fare) would not be achieved in the near future on Highway 12. Money saving ideas are being pursued at MTC, such as storing rush hour buses in the downtown area during the middle of the day. Such cost savings can be substantial, even approaching the added amounts necessary under: option 3. MR. PETER Mr. Kelley asked whether or not inflation had been calcula, ted into the cost estimates. MR. JO~N DILLER¥: Dillery responded that a six percent per year inflation factor has been figured into the operating costs and that this seemed to be more than adequate for our planning purposes at this time. Mr. Snowden added that a common criticism of MTC in the last few years has been that MTC does not offer enough kinds of service, in order to better serve suburban areas, but that we were working hard to remedy that situation. He went on to say that any attempts to improve service are worthwhile if ridership growth is realized. The construction of 1-394, with its express lanes, is a unique opportunity' for the MTC to increase ridership. Snowden noted that MTC and transit in general must succeed in transporting many more persons via the express lanes if the freeway is not to become seriously overloaded. The freeway design can only meet existing traffic levels without an increase in transit ridership and carpooling. It is important that MTC work hard to compete with the private automobile now, during the construction phase. For this reason, some increase in operation cost should be allowed. ODMMISSIONER BRUCE NAWROCKI: Commissioner Nawrocki commented on operating costs. He stated that even if ridership growth achieves our expectations, fare revenue is never likely to -5- exceed 40% of the total operating costs. He noted that in the metropolitan area, property taxpayers actually contribute more to the operating costs of the MTC than do passengers paying fares. This is normally the case under the best of circumstances. MS. JANE PA6~NKOPF: Ms. Pagenkopf explained her dislike for the current park and ride arrangement at Co. Rd. 73, citing the rickety wooden steps, the need to cross Highway 12 on the bridge and the lack of snow removal from the steps during the wintertime. She questioned whether or not this situation would improve under the design for 1-394. MR. JOVAN DILLERY: Dillery noted that the paving plan for 1-394 shows a bus turnaround loop at an enlarged park and ride at Co. Rd. 73. This arrangement would permit express buses to stop at a shelter in the middle of the park and ride lot, going either to downtown or from downtown. Ms. Pagenkopf asked how long Co. Rd. 73 park and ride would remain as it is today. Dillery stated that he believed that the lot would be rebuilt and the new interchange completed in 1988. MR. FRANK WILLKIE: Mr. Willkie works at General Mills. He stated that he felt compelled to drive between his home at Groveland Terrace and Hennepin Ave. and work because local bus service was too slow. He said he would ride Route %51 to work, and ride another bus route such as Route %58 to downtown after work and then transfer to go home. He also noted that he had investigated carpooling without success. Mr. Willkie quits work at 4:00 p.m. MR. JOHN DILLERY: Mr. Dillery stated that it was a safe assumption that Route %51R under options 3 or 4 would help Mr. Willkie ride the bus. He said that MTC would contact General Mills and other major employers along Highway 12 to confirm work shift times. He also noted that Route %51R would stop at the front door of General Mills and proceed via Highway 12 and stc'p Very close to the Walker and Guthrie, near which Mr. Willkie lives. Dillery noted that travel times would not be fast for the near term, but that as the freeway is completed, local travel times on Route %51 should improve. MR. DIRK KLEINHEKSEL: Mr. Kleinheksel asked when the phase one MTC plan might be implemented. MR. JOHN DILLERY: Dillery responded that phase one would begin in October 1985, or whenever the express lanes on Highway 12 open. He also stated that ~C staff would entertain requests from the public until July 12, 1985. MTC operation would evolve into phase two, which would be an expansion of service changes to other routes in the corridor beginning as early as spring of 1986. He mentioned Route 67 as a likely candidate for modification under phase two. -6- Mr. Lurid complained that with the existing Route 51 schedule it is impossible to shop at stores located along Co. Rd. 15 in Mound and return home within a reasonable amount of time. He noted that all the Route 51 buses traveled the S Wilshire Blvd. route. MR. JOHN DILLER~: Mr. Dillery responded that MTC would consider alternating every other bus trip to go via the route Mr. Lund would use when the new schedule is developed. MS. BRI~IDA WHITE: Ms. White inquired about the K route. She stated that she now takes 'the first morning bus and that she gets a ride straight through to downtown Minneapolis. She wondered if she would now have to take a Route 75 shuttle to Wayzata and transfer to complete her trip. MR. JOBN DILLERY: Mr. Dillery responded that while it is difficult to say whether or not an equivalent Route 75 trip would be a shuttle or an express bus ~b downtown, he could guarantee that MTC would apply a standard to any trip traveling on Route 75 between the western communities and Wayzata. This standard would mean that trips with light loads would become shuttles to trips with heavier loads at Wayzata park-and-ride if the combined loads could be accommodated on one bus. The larger articulated buses seating 67 passengers are a possibility for the through trips. He stated that the use of shuttles would be necessary to assure that MTC offers service in a cost-effective manner. He asked Ms. White how she would feel about this. MS BRENDAWHITE: Ms. White asked how much time riding a shuttle and transferring would cost her. MR. JOHN DILLERY: Mr. Dillery responded that the transfers between shuttles and express buses would be timed very carefully so that transfers would take about three extra minutes or less. Drivers would be given time to make the connection and reminded to wait for late trips. The connections would be carefully monitored to make them as reliable as possible. MS. HAZEL DOUTHIT: Ms. Douthit asked whether or not Route K shuttles or expresses would leave at about the same times during the rush hours. MR. JOHN DILLERY: Mr. Dillery responded that generally speaking departure times would be close to those presently offered. ~e noted that the work shift beginning and ending -7- times in downtown Minneapolis would be the main factor used in determining when trips would run. MR. PETER Mr. Kelly asked how changes implemented along Hwy. 12 would affect the connecting routes such as Route 36 at Louisiana Ave. or Route 9 at Turner's Crossroads. MR. JO]~N DILLERY: Mr. Dillery stated that connecting routes at Wayzata, Louisiana Ave. or Turner's Crossroads would be carefully considered all through the planning process for bus service on 1-394. He noted that a bus station to make transfers easier would be built at Louisiana Ave. and at Plymouth Rd. near 1-394. .MTC staff would not think about Route ~51 or Route 975 in a vacuum but would remember that it is part of a system of routes operating in a corridor and that it is essential that as many connections as possible be offered at suburban transfer stations. MR. PETER KELLEY: Mr. Kelly asked if MTC would consider offering a trip leaving downtown Minneapolis after 10:00 PM on weeknights. He requested that such a trip be added since the present schedule makes it very difficult for persons like himself who are very heavily reliant on the bus when they wish to remain in the city late for a concert or movie. Mr. Kelly suggested that a trip after the evening rush hour could be eliminated and a trip added after 10:00 PM in such a way that it would not cost MTC. MR. JOHN DILLERY: Mr. Dillery said that such a later trip is a possibility and that careful consideration would be given to following Mr. Kelly's suggestion. CHAIRMAN FRANK SNOWDEN: Mr. Snowden remembered the late '70s as ~ time when many of the trips such as those being requested were eliminated out of financial need. He agreed that it would be appropriate to reconsider some of the late night trips that were cut on Route 51. Mr. Wilke requested that MTC consider adding a later trip on Sunday evenings especially since a number of people living in a group home for handicapped adults in Wayzata had been having difficulty getting home on Sunday evenings using Route 51 or even using the Greyhound local service provided. MR. JOHN DILLERY: Dillery responded that weekend service should be improved during Ridgedale's hours. Dillery thanked everyone in attendance for coming to the meeting and for their suggestions. He reminded everyone to encourage their neighbors and friends and co-passengers that MTC staff wished to hear from them by telephone or letter. He reminded the people that it was their input that made plans for service changes realistic. The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 PM.

As a local board of health, State CHS funds for Hennepin County are received (based on two year plans) for community health services. The City of Minneapolis and the cities of Bloomington, Richfield, and Edina receive CHS funds as direct-share municipalities, and write their own CHS Plans which are ultimately included in the Hennepin County-wide CHS Plan/Application. The Hennepin County Community Health Department CHS Plan includes county-wide program planning in the areas of disease prevention and control, epidemiology, dental public health, and Pre-Admission Screening. Programs in Maternal and Child Health and Environmental Health are targeted for subur- ban county residents. MAJOR TIi~R~,INE COHPONENTS/~Rr. INES Data Collection/Background !-formation A.

Weisser Excelsior TO: DATE: SUBJ: MEMBER MUNICIPALITIES July 2, 1985 Public Access Parking for Lake Minnetonka DISTRICT TELEPHONE 612/473-7033 FRANK MIXA, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR The LMCD, in response to the Lake Minnetonka Task Force recommen- dations, has adopted the attached standards for identifying the car-trailer parking spaces needed to reach the goal of 700 reliable car-trailer spaces set for Lake Minnetonka under the current state access, program. The Task Force, after considerable discussion, particularly with representatives of the MDNR about over-flow car-trailer spaces actually used today vs. the need for long-term space meeting cer- tain basic requirements, determined that the MDNR standard of one car-trailer space per 20 acres of water (700 for the Lake) was reasonable for Lake Minnetonka. In addition it determined that those spaces already meeting these standards could be supplemented by other near-by parking that also meet these standards when set aside specifically for the use of the boating public. The District has developed these standards which the MDNR has ac- cepted for the use of the lakeshore municipalities who wish to participate in the program by designating long-term car-trailer parking spaces on a seasonal basis near existing public launching facilities. These spaces may not be restricted by a permit process. These spaces, when accepted ~nder the standards, will be applied toward the 700 spaces required and will be used to help determine the need for development of further public access on the Lake. The District has been charged with the responsibility to monitor the program. Thank you for your consideration. app~ec Sin  ATION DISTRICT C~on Brown Att. c/att: LMCD Board 7/3 Your cooperation is greatly LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT PARKING STANDARDS LAKE MINNETONKA PUBLIC ACCESSES The Lake Minnetonka Task Force agreed to a goal of 700 long-term reliable spaces for car-trailer parking in the vicinity of present and future access sites at Lake Minnetonka. The Task Force further recommended that the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District establish an acceptable set of standards for identifying and counting of these spaces and monitor progress toward the goal on a continuing basis. The following set of standards has been adopted by the LMCD and the Minne- sota Department of Natural Resources for application to Lake Minnetonka: 1. Ail spaces must be within 1,500 feet of a public access point. 2. Ail off-site locations should be provided with a long-term agreement, five year minimum, on file with the LMCD. 3. The location of off-site spaces, either off-street or on-street, must be identified by clear, permanent-type signage at the access point. Ail off-street spaces must be layed out on a plan on file with the LMCD. The plan shall clearly indicate each car-trailer space and adequate in- gress, egress and maneuvering space. Ail spaces must be available on an unrestricted, first-come-first-served basis, as a minimum from 5 p.m. on Friday until midnight Sunday, and on holidays, from April 15 to October 15. 6. Ail on-street spaces should meet the following additional standards: 6.1 Minimum length of 50 feet per space.' 6.2 Adequate shoulder width to preclude door opening into a traffic lane and to provide a safe route to the access point. 6.3 Regularly-spaced permanent signage stating "transient car-trailer parking only." 6-25-85 metropolitan Area management A socla i--q of the Twin City Area July 8, 1985 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: CITY MANAGERS AND ELECTED OFFICIALS OF ORGANIZATIONS PARTICIPATING IN JOINT COMPENSATION STUDY William S.

This department has no authority to grant formal extensions to the deadline of October 1, 1985 established by the law. However, the law does not provide any penalties for failure to meet this deadline other than the possibility of legal action when legal protections expire in August 1987. We do need as much lead time as possible to analyze and compile the reports prior to our January 1, 1986 report to the legislature. We hope to receive the large majority of reports by October 1, and where that is not possible, we hope to receive them as soon as possible after that date. We believe it will be possible for us to report to the legislature on reports received prior to December 1, 1985, but that is an absolute out- side limit given our limited resources. I understand that the MAMA study is well underway and that these reports ~ill probably be ready by mid-November.

Managers present: Cochran, Lehman, Miller, McWethy, and Spensley Managers absent: Andre and Thomas Also present were Board advisors Mahady and Macomber. Approval of Minutes It was moved by Miller, seconded by McWethy, that the minutes of the regular meeting of May 16, 1985 be approved as distributed. Upon vote the motion carried. It was.moved by McWethy, seconded by Lehman, that the minutes of the special meeting of May 23, 1985 be approved as distributed. Upon vote the motion carried. Approval of Permit Applications The Managers reviewed a memorandum from the Engineer dated June 13, 1985. The Engineer modified his recommendation as to permit 85-59 by adding a requirement that the permit be issued subject to DNR requirements. The Engineer advised the Managers that all necessary exhibits have been received for permit 85-93 and requested permit 85-93 be approved by the Board in addition to those for which approval was recommended in the written memorandum. Manager Cochran noted that permit application 85-59 involves dredging at the site of a former sewage treatment plant and recommended that the permit require use of a curtain barrier to minimize migration of sediment disturbed by dredging. It was then moved by Lehman, seconded by Miller, that the following applications be approved on the terms and conditions set forth in the written memorandum, with the additional conditions of Department of Natural Resources' approval and use of a curtain barrier for permit 85-59, and adding permit 85-93 on which all exhibits have now been received. 85-59 Minnetonka Moorings - maintenance dredging of 1700 cubic yards of sediment, Sec. 34BC, Snug Harbor Yacht Club, south shore of Gideons Bay - Lake Minnetonka, City of Shorewood. 85-70 James Cox - 77 lineal feet of rip rap shoreline erosion protection, Sec. 21DAC, Interlachen Channel, Lake Minnetonka, City of Tonka Bay. 8 i-71 Milan McCarthy - 43 lineal feet of rip rap shoreline erosion protection, Sec. 26AC, Lower Lake - Lake Minnetonka, City of Greenwood. 85-72 James Perry - 55 lineal feet of rip rap shoreline erosion protection, Sec. 5CC, Maxwell Bay - Lake Minnetonka, City of Orono. 85-73 C.J.

Upon vote the motion carried. Housing Alliance, Inc. - grading and drainage plan for a senior citizen residential housing facility, Sec. 23AC, south of Hwy 7 and east of Shady Oak Road, City of Minnetonka. 85-87 The Engineer reviewed the application for grading and drainage plan approval. Mr. John Karwacki of Schoell & Madson was present on behalf of the applicant. The Engineer advised that the property was included in the City of Minnetonka storm water management plan and that the applicant has maintained storage as required by the City Plan and has provided water quality treatment. The Engineer advised that the project was in compliance with District standards. Manager Lehman inquired with respect to the elevation shown on the plan which suggested that based on the data submitted by the applicant, a 100-year event would overtop the adjacent Highway 7 by a significant amount. Mr. Karwacki stated that the plan increases available storage on the site and that one of the numbers shown on the plan might be in error. It was then moved by Miller, seconded by McWethy, that the application be approved subject to and conditioned upon receipt by the Engineer of acceptable data showing grades and storage volumes in compliance with the City of Minnetonka Storm Water Management Plan and confirming the elevation of the edge of the roadway and the 100-year flood elevation of the ponding area on the site. Upon vote the motion carried. Driftwood Shores Homeowners Assn. - dredging to remove silt deposits, Sec. 13CA, Harrison's Bay - Lake Minnetonka, City of Mound. 85-88 The Engineer reviewed the application for dredging a private docking facility at Harrison's Bay. The Engineer advised that the plan was adequate and met applicable District criteria and that -3- the dredging was necessary to gain reasonable navigational access to the properties. Clifford Reep appeared on behalf of the applicant. It was moved by Lehman, seconded by McWethy, that the application be approved as recommended by the Engineer. Upon vote the motion carried. Gary E. Briggs - fill placement next to DNR Wetland No. 741, Sec. 4CBA, south of Hwy 12 and east of Holdridge Terrace, City of Wayzata. 85-85 Manager Lehman noted that all required exhibits have not been submitted on the above application. It was moved by Lehman, seconded by McWethy that the application be tabled pending receipt of all required exhibits. Upon vote the motion carried. Richard Duvick - "After-the-fact" shoreline alteration consisting of wooden retaining wall, dredging, floodplain fill, Sec. 26BDB, Priest Bay - Lake Minnetonka, City of Minnetrista. 85-82 The Engineer reviewed the after-the-fact application for shoreline alteration consisting of a wooden retaining wall, dredging and flood plain fill. The Engineer advised that permit 80-21 had previously been issued to Mr. Duvick for maintenance dredging and riprap placement along the existing channel. The Engineer explained that Mr. Duvick had constructed without a permit a section of wooden seawall over the existing riprap in 1981. Application 81-96 sought after-the-fact approval for this section of the wooden sea wall. The Engineer advised that the Board had, in 1981,'.tabled that application for the reasons summarized in the written memorandum, including lack of sufficient structural integrity to meet District criteria and unauthorized placement, pr dredging spoil behind the sea wall in violation of prior permit 80-21. The Engineer explained that the~present after-the-fact application was for a 50' extension of the wooden sea wall which has now been completed. The Engineer stated that additional spoil from channel cleaning were placed landward of the wall and below the 100-year flood plain of Lake Minnetonka.. The Engineer advised that the current extension does not meet District structural criteria and involves unauthorized placement of dredge spoil material below the 100-year flood plain of Lake Minnetonka. The Board discussed the existing District guidelines for shoreline stabilization and expressed concern regarding the apparent second extension of the sea wall by Mr. Duvick without a watershed district permit. It was moved by Spen$1ey, seconded by Miller, that the application for extension of the seawall be denied because of Mr. Duvick's failure to meet the District's structural criteria and failure to provide sufficient detail to the District with respect to construction, and further, that the Board defe~ -4- consideration of remedial action until its next regular meeting, and that Mr. Duvick be notified of the Board's intent to consider remedial action at its next regular meeting. Upon vote the motion carried. Discussion of Recovery of Expenses The Managers then discussed briefly the problems raised by the foregoing permit application where work is performed without a District permit, or in violation of an existing District permit. Following discussion, it was moved by Miller, seconded by Spensley, that the Attorney and the Engineer prepare and submit to the Board for review at its next regular meeting a proposed rule which would require permit applicants to pay the District's investigative and engineering costs in connection with permit applications after the fact of construction, and where construction is not in conformity with District permit. Upon vote the motion carried. John R. Yungner - "After-the-fact" grading and drainage'plan for a small retail development, Section 34BD, Shaughnessy Circle, City of Long Lake. 85-83 The Engineer reviewed the application for development of site into a retail center. The Engineer advised that the project is under construction, that the applicant was not aware of the need for a permit from the District until a letter from the District to that effect in late May, and that the plan as submitted does not propose facilities for rate or water quality control. The Engineer further informed the Board that the project has been approved by the City Council and a building permit has been issued. The Engineer stated that he had advised the contractor to stop construction pending issuance of a watershed district permit. The Engineer advised the Managers that the subwatershed in which the site is located is developing rapidly and reviewed the drainage from the site into Long Lake. The Engineer noted that sections of the existing open channel drainageway downstream of the site have steep bed slopes which undermine the channel banks, causing trees to fall into the channel and more sediment to be deposited into an existing sedimentation basin. The Engineer also noted that increased sedimentation in surface drainage will add sedimentation to the already-poor water quality of Long Lake. The Engineer advised that these drainage and water quality problems are severe and will be worsened within this subwatershed if development proceeds without providing on-site storage and water quality treatment as required by the District's rules and guidelines. The Engineer further noted that the City of Long Lake does not have a municipal drainage plan to provide regional -5- storage for this subwatershed and that regional storage would be the preferred alternative for providing sufficient detention and water quality treatment within this subwatershed. The Managers noted that Chapter 509 will eventually mandate the preparation of municipal drainage plans after the adoption by the District of a watershed management plan. The Board noted the probability of increased damage to properties downstream and downstream flooding as a result of increased rates of discharge from upstream properties unless detention is provided. Because the City does not have a municipal storm water management plan, the Managers concluded that the District's on-site rate and water quality control requirements would need to be applied to this site and the other sites that develop within this subwatershed. Following discussion and analysis of the situation and the site, it was moved by Spensley, seconded by Miller, that the application be tabled and that the applicant be notified to cease work until plans for the project are revised to meet applicable watershed district criteria for on-site detention and water quality treatment, and further, that the attorney be directed to correspond with the developer, advising the developer that the District expects work to cease at the site as such time as adequate drainage plans have been submitted to and 9pproved by the Board. The Managers further directed the staff to write a letter to the City explaining the District's requirement and the actions taken by the Board. W. M. "Gene" Tomlinson - grading and drainage plan for "Long Lake West Industrial Park", Sec. 33AD, south of Hwy 12 and west of Willow Dr., City of Long Lake. 85-92 The E~gineer reviewed a grading and drainage plan for a 15 acre site in the City of Long Lake approximately one-half mile upstream of the property described i~ permit 85-83. The Engineer reviewed the plan, indicating that some regrading of the site is proposed and that approximately 80% of the site will be placed in hard surface. The Engineer stated that calculations have been received from the applicant since the preparation of the written report and that the on-site storage proposed is close to meeting District standards, but that additional storage is required. The Engineer stated that water quality is being provided in accordance with District'standards. The Engineer recommended approval, with the permit to be issued upon receipt of a revised storm water management plan providing 3.0 acre-feet of storage and a maximum outflow rate of 20 cfs.revised plans showing conformity with District rate control standards. It was moved by Miller, seconded by McWethy that the application be approved as recommended by the Engineer. Upon vote the motion carried. -6- Phil Eder Enterprises - "After-the-fact" lake setback variance for an existing gazebo at Stonewings restaurant, Sec. 35BB, Excelsior Bay - Lake Minnetonka, City of Excelsior. 85-84 The Engineer reviewed the after-the-fact application for a lake setback variance for an existing gazebc at Stonewings Restaurant. The Engineer stated that the C~.y and the Health Department have required the restaurant to i~ ~tall plumbing in the gazebo and that the City requested that the ~pplicant receive District setback approval. The Engineer explained that the gazebo has been at its present location for five years. The Managers reviewed the matter, noting that the City of Excelsior has approved the existing facility and the upgrading of the existing facility and that the Watershed Act pre-empts watershed district jurisdiction where a lake setback ordinance has been adopted by a municipality. Accordingly, it was moved by Spensley, seconded by McWethy that the applicant be advised that no District permit is required for the setback approval. Upon vote the motion carried. Carlson Properties, Inc. - grading and drainage plan foe Carlson Center project involving fill, excavation and construction of stormwater ponds, City of Minnetonka and Plymouth, various locations east of 1-494, west of Parkers Lake Rd and north of Hwy 12. 85-89 The Engineer reviewed the plan for grading and excavation of ponds located on the Carlson Center site in the Cities of Plymouth and Minnetonka. The Engineer advised that the present plan is in 'conformity with the preliminary plan approved by the Board of .Managers in September 1983 under permit 83-94, and that the extensive drainage analysis performed for that permit remains the same. The Engineer advised that sheets 1 and 2 and sheet 8 are planned for construction during the summer and fall of 1985. The Engineer advised that the plan remains in conformity with the City Comprehensive Plan and recommended approval. It was moved by McWethy, seconded by Miller, that the application be approved as recommended by the Engineer. Upon vote the motion carried. Gary E. Grenzer - fill placement to approximately 40 feet from front property line, Sec. 32BAA, east of the intersection of Dunkirk Lane and 12th Ave. No., City of Plymouth. 85-86 The Engineer reviewed the application for a fill placement on a .77 acre lot in the City of Plymouth. The Engineer advised that questions on fill and slopes have been addressed by the applicant as requested by the Engineer and recommended approval on the condition that the site be seeded and mulched upon completion of the filling operations and that hay bales remain in place until the establishment of turf. It was moved by Lehman, seconded by McWethy that the application be approved subject to the foregoing conditions. Upon vote the motion carried. -7- Metropolitan Waste Control Commission - Maple Plain Interceptor - sanitary sewer, various locations between Maple Plain and Long Lake, generally running along the southern ROW of Hwy 12. 85-90 The Engineer reviewed plans for the construction of the Maple Plain interceptor between Maple Plain and Long Lake. The Engineer stated that he had requested submission of additional information on erosion control measures and on the dewatering procedures and was generally satisfied with the material submitted by the consulting engineer for the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission. The Engineer noted that one item missing was a prohibition on the discharge of sewage effluent to Lake Katrina. The Engineer recommended approval upon receipt and staff approval of plans or information showing that the pump station and appurtenances will not allow untreated effluent to bypass and discharge to any waterway tributary to Painter Creek. It was moved by McWethy, seconded by Lehman, that the application be approved subject to the foregoing condition. Upon vote the motion carried. ~ City of Deephaven - 264 feet of 12 inch storm sewer along Deephaven Ave., Sec. 18CBB, Deephaven Ave., City of Deephaven 85-95 The Engineer reviewed the plan for installation for 264 feet of storm sewer and cleaning of an existing drainageway in the City of Deephaven and recommended approval as submitted. It was moved by Miller, seconded.by Spensley that the application be approved as recommended by the Engineer. Upon vote the motion carried. Treasurer's Report Acting Treasurer McWethy distributed the monthly treasurer's report dated June 20, 1985, a copy of which is attached. Following review of the report and t~e bills submitted for payment, it was moved by Miller, seconded by Spensley, that the treasurer's report dated June 20, 1985 be approved and that the bills be paid as set forth in that report. Upon vote the motion carried. Lake Minnetonka Level and Minnehaha Creek Flow The Engineer reported that Minnetonka Lake level has fallen to 929.55 and that under the approved Management Plan for the control structure, the discharge through the structure has been reduced from 175 to 150 cfs. -8- Meadowbrook Lane/Storm Sewer Spoil Material The Engineer reported that he had investigated the complaint raised by James vonLorenz regarding disposal of spoil material from storm sewer outfalls in Meadowbrook Marsh near Meadowbrook Lane. The Engineer reported that he and Mr. vonLorenz were able to locate only one such bank of material. The Board requested the Engineer to correspond with the City, suggesting that the City not dispose of spoil in this manner in the future. Spring Park/Storaqe of Batteries The Engineer reported that the batteries had been removed from the Spring Park site and sent to a battery recycler located in Minneapolis. Minnehaha Creek Report The Engineer reported that he had toured the Creek in response to the recent direction of the Board to identif'y potential maintenance projects. The Engineer reported that the primary need was tree removal in a number of areas in Minneapolis and some in Edina. The Managers requested the Engineer to develop a plan to remove the fallen trees as well as other minor navigational hazards, such as the bolts protruding from the underside of bridge decks, and to submit to the Board for review at the next regular meeting the estimated costs of such work. It was moved by Miller, seconded by Lehman, that the foregoing work be performed by the Engineer and reported to the Board at the next regular meeting. Upon vote the motion carried. Lake Minnetonka Tour The Engineer announced that the tour of Lake Minnetonka has been'scheduled for Saturday afternoon, July 20, 1985, commencing at 2:00 p.m. Spring Park Filling/Harry Olson Site The Engineer reported t~hat he had researched the records with respect to the development of the properties on either side of the Harry Olson parcel at Spring Park. The Engineer reported the Lord Fletcher's apartment building was constructed in approximately 1972 and that a watershed district permit had not been issued for that project. The Engineer further reported that on the other side of the Olson property, a building was constructed in approximately 1978 and that no district peri,it was issued. The Engineer stated that he was not able to determine whether filling below the regional flood elevation of Lake Minnetonka had occurred on either site. -9- Princeton Court Townhouse/St. Louis Park The Engineer noted that a letter directing the contractor to cease work on the Princeton court Townhouse project has been sent on the basis that the data submitted by the City of St. Louis Park does contain sufficient data to meet the condition required for issuance of the District's grading and drainage permit for the project. The Engineer reviewed the status of this matter, following which it was moved by Spensley, seconded by Miller, that the City and the developer be advised that the letter provided by the City of St. Louis Park does not provide sufficient data required for issuance of the District's permit and directing the contractor to continue to cease work until a valid District permit is issued and in force. Upon vote the motion carried. Bay Center/Villaqe Center/Eastman Marsh The Engineer reported on his investigation of the status of permits issued for the Wayzata Bay Center and the Village, Inc. developments. The Engineer reported that the Bay Center property was owned by a German citizen and managed by a management company in New Ulm, Minnesota. The property was developed in the late 1960's and expanded in the early 1970's. The Engineer further reported that a filter berm in the southwest cornel of the site does not function, and further, that a large part of the site drains directly to Gleason Creek and not %hrough the filter berm in any event. The Engineer further reported that some portion of the drainage ditch on the south side of the property and the filter berm appear to be on Hennepin County right-of-way. The Engineer reported that the Village Center project was permitted under permit 73-13 and that under the permit, the property is graded to drain the east half of the property to Eastman Marsh and the west half to G~eason Creek. The Engineer further noted, that in staff's opinion the drainage facilities on both sites were functioning to their owner's satisfaction and that both the drainage pattern and water quality would not be significantly improved without major site alterations. The Engineer reported that on June 4, 1985 the Wayzata City Council~passed a moratorium on development within protected wetlands, including the Eastman Marsh. Following discussion and review, the Board expressed a desire to investigate potential solutions to the poor drainage conditions on the Wayzata Bay Center property and directed the staff to notify the project's management company, the City of Wayzata, and the County to set a meeting to review the available options. -10- Minnetonka Zoning Ordinance Modification The Engineer reported that Minnetonka proposes to amend its zoning ordinance to permit more intensive development along Minnehaha Creek. Copies of the proposed ordinances will be distributed. Revised Permit Guidelines The Engineer distributed revised permit guidelines as directed by the Board at the last regular meeting. Weed Cutting/Nuisance Conditions Chairman Cochran stated that there appear to have been instances of substantial weed cutting on Lake Minnetonka, with the weed debris left in the lake, thereby creating nuisance conditions for lake users and property owners. Chairman Cochran suggested that a cooperative effort be undertaken with the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District and the Minnesota Department of Na.tural q~sources to assu~-~--pr~per upland disposal of removed vegetation. Boundary Amendment The Attorney reported that on May 17, 1985, the Minnesota Water Resources Board issued an order amending the boundary of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District as requested by the petitions previously submitted by the District to the Board. Metropolitan Council Proposed Revisions to .Water Resource Management Guide The Attorney noted the receipt of an issue paper from the Metropolitan Council regarding the revisions proposed to the Council's water resources management guide chapter. Minnesota Association of Watershed Districts, Inc. Watershed District Managers Training Session The Managers noted a program to be presented for watershed district managers in St. Cloud on Friday, June 28, 1985, and encouraged any available Manager to attend. Adjournment There being no further business to come before the regular meeting, Chairman Cochran declared the regular meeting adjourned at 11:40 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Albert L.

Born in the public sector, the notion of pay equity-adjusting pay scales for men and women in different jobs that are judged similar in skill and reSponsibility- is starting to eme. rge as an issue at private companies. So far, only a few companies have actually devised comparable-worth programs. Several others are studying the concept. But most are watching the issue with apprehension and even dread. "Any large, publicly held corporation feels vulnerable in this area," says Geor~ge Sape, vice president of Organization Re- sources Counselors, a management con- sulting firm. "It's almost a visceral kind of fear. Executives worry that no matter what they've done, someone is going to say it's not enough." Advocates of comparable worth, mostly women's groups and unions, contend that the fact women generally earn two-thirds what men do can't be explained away by seniority and education levels alone. They say certain jobs are paid less simply beause they are traditionally held by women. From Public to Private · Until recently, most of their efforts- and successes-have been in the public sector. As a result of political' pressure, labor negotiations and lawsuits, all but five states are examining the issue and some, like Minnesota, have made adjustments. A federal judge .in Washington state has or- dered the state to pay $800 million in back wages and raises to women who made less than men in comparable state jobs. An ap- peal is pending. Now, however, comparable-worth backers have begun to focus on the private sector-and that has many employers wor- ried. Some of them oPpoSe comparable worth on philosophical grounds, saying it would replace market forces with regulation by government wage-setting boards. Some paint dire scenes of protracted litigation, exorbitant contracts and massive labor- force dislocations. Others are more pragmatic, contending that comparable worth is easier to apply in the public sector, with civil-service pay categories fixed by legislation, usually a single union to deal with and costs recov- erable by taxation· They worry that com- panies would suffer competitive disadvan- tages. Anyway, most employers insist that their pay systems are already equitable, made so by federal law mandating equal pay for men and women doing the same job~ and by efforts to move women into traditionally male positions. They argue that current law doesn't, and shouldn't, ap- ,.h, .. ~v fnr rnmnarable gobs. Recently, the Equal Employment 0p- portunity Commission, in its first policy decision on the subject, seemed to concur, saying that unequal pay for work of sim- ilar value wasn't by itself proof of job dis- crimination. The federal job-bias agency says it won't pursue "pure" comparable- worth cases but will go after cases where it can be shown that employers intention- ally paid different wages to women and men in comparable jobs. Employers' groups have drawn the first battle lines in Pennsylvania, where they have so far helped block the state's pion- eering effort to legislate comparable worth for its private companies. If such legisla- tion were ever to pass, says James Prozzt, a management lawyer in Pittsburgh, "there would be an exodus of businesses who don't want to be regulated." Some economists agree. "Trying to re- peal supply and demand" by using compa- rable-worth .systems instead of market SOME employers opPose comparable worth on philosophical grounds, saying it would replace market forces with government wage- setting boards. values to set pay would lead to "radical distortions of the economy," says June O'Neill, an economist with the Urban Insti- tute, a Washington, D.C. think tank. She says dollar costs probably wouldn't · be enormous became employers who ad- here to comparable-worth studies can lower the pay for overvalued jobs while raising pay for underpaid work.. But she says "there would be m~sive job disloca- tions'' as workers who took pay cuts looked for other jobs and companies laid off all .but "the best and the brightest" in jobs overt'slued by market standards to cut COSTS. Supporters of comparable· wo~h counter that these scenarios, as well as the differences between the public and private sectors, are overblown. "There's no evi- dence that jobs will be lost," says Claudia Wayne, director of the National Committee on Pay Equity. "Employers will get back increased costs in increased productivity, morale and from workers who stay longer." E. James Brennan, a St. Louis-based compensation consultant, says that "indus- try is turning away from the options and pretending that it's impossible." He says that comparable-worth plans installed by his clients cost them a maximum of 2% of payroll, which about equals the percentage of payroll tied up in overvalued jobs. More- · over. Mr. Brennan says, employers can avoid individual pay cuts and still money by putting "greater constraints on .overall salary increases" for overvalued jobs. Meanwhile, a few companies are trying to devise their own comparable-worth plans, perhaps hoping to avoid having one imposed on them by the government. As Mr. 8ape, the consultant, says: ~'If you're · operating in a voluntary fashion you have flexibility." For instance, American Telephone & Telegraph Co. has devised, but not yet im- plemented, a plan that Kenneth Ross, a labor-relations division manager, says was "influenced" by comparable-worth con- celTlS. AT&T worked with its three unions to · evaluate 20 major categories of employ- ment. Fourteen measurements were used to evaluate and assign point ratings to such variables as keyboard skills, job stress and the ability to influence other~' actions. Although a few relatively minor jobs were.found to be underpaid, Mr. Ross says, "there was no clear indication that female jobs were undervalued" any more than men's jobs were. A Competitive Edge · Any kind of sweeping comparable-worth plan mandated by the government, "wo,~'t work, and the minute you try we'll e: entire industries," says Mr. Ross. "B~. you define comparable worth as a condi- tion in which business values its jobs con- sistently and systematically, in conjunction with the market that you seek people from ·.. then you can feel comfortable that you've got internal equity. And I think that's a competitive edge." AT&T has delayed implementation of the program, citing divestiture concerns and union questions, but union and man- agement agree it will be used. "We have a leading-edge, properly developed, wonder- ful plan sitting on the shelf," says Mr. Ross. One company that has implemented a comparable-worth plan is the Columbian, a daily newspaper in Vancouver, Wash. The company used employees trained by a consultant to evaluate 220 nonunion jobs, based on such things as knowledge, skills , and accountab!lity. Some jobs that were deemed underpaid, such as route manager, received phased-in salary raises. Other · jobs thought to be more than adequately paid had their salaries frozen, But "we guaranteed that no salary would be re- duced,'' says Harriet Campbell, director of the compensation plan. The Columbian monitors what other mid-sized newspapers, are paying "to so~ if we are out of line," says Ann Michael sonnel director. Mrs. Campbell "Anybody who d~esn't pay attention to the market isn't going to stay in business." But that doesn't seem to have been much of a problem. Mrs. Campbell won't say how much the program cost the newspaper in added salaries, but she adds, "It w~n't burdensome." Tax Plan's By E,8, Some state and local officials believe that President Reagan's proposal to elimi- nate the federal deduction for state and lo- Cal t~es would cause painful reductions in local government services. No way. The impact on state and local services will be neg!i~ble, but the opportunity to actually improve services is immense. Let's examine the imp!led scenario that leads to the gloomy forecast: A loss of de- ductibiiity will cause wealthy taxpayers in some states to pay more in federal income taxes. These taxpayers will successfully press for cuts in state and local taxes so that their total taxes-federal, 'state and local-will be as low as they were before the reform. Finally, the thinking goes, this loss of revenue for state and local govern- ments must inevitably be translated into proportional reductions i~ services. This reasoning does not withstand even cursory inspection. First, even if tax revenues were ulti- mately to decline in accordance with this unlikely scenario, the drop would be only a few percentage points. Localities survived quite nicely in California and Massachu- setts despite much more traumatic cuts triggered by Propositions 13 and 2~. 51ore important is the simple acknowl- edgement that a reduction in revenue does not have to be witlessly accommodated by a corresponding reduction in services. Giv- ing the taxpayers more for their money- by better management and increased pro- ductivity-is a vastly better alternative. In fact, state and local governments now have available a thoroughly tested tech- nique that regularly produces productivity improvements in the range of 30% to 50%: privatization. The evidence on privatization by "con- tracting out" is now overwhelming and is no longer a matter of serious debate. The only question is one of political will, and of following prudent and proper practices. Careful studies involving hundreds of communities, in the U.S. and abroad, com- pared the relative efficiency and effective- ness of municipal agencies and private contractors in providing identical services. For example, Los Angeles county recently reviewed the cumulative results of its pri- vatization pro.am since 1979, It concluded that its 407 separate contracts cost only $92 million, whereas if county agencies had done the work directly, the cost would have been $143 million, or 55% more. A detailed analysis sponsored by the Department of Housing and Urban Devel- opment found that the cost of street con- struction by city agencies was 9~% greater than similar work by contractors, and that municipal costs were greater by 43% for street cleaning, 73% for janitorial services, 5~q'~ for traffic-signal maintenance, and 37~.:r for tree pruning. In each case there were no differences in quality. Only in pay- roll preparation were the costs equal. The most studied municipal service is refuse collection. Nine independent, large- scxle studies have been conducted by aca- Boost to Privatizin Services demics and by government agencies in the U.S., Canada, West Germany, Japan and Switzerland. All concluded that municipal · collection is significantly more costly than contract collection, by an.vwhere from 15% to 124%. Moreover, a citizen sur~'ey cover- ing more than 8,000 randomly selected households in 82 randomly selected cities showed greater satisfaction with private companies than with municipal agencies, for the same level of collection service. International studies comparing public and private bus operations show the for- mer to be 67% to 100% costlier than the lat- ter, but no better or safer. (The public bus agency in Calcutta, India, employed a whopping 50 employees per bus, far more than the private bus lines in the same city.) In the .U.S., an exhaustive review of 249 transit systems by researchers at the University of California at Irvine con- cluded that privately owned and managed bus systems were the most efficient. Early results indicate that the private sector can do better in constructing and operating prisons, waste-water treatment plants, street lights and resource-recovery facilities. In support functions such as data processing, food service and audio-visual services, a recent analysis of 235 federal- agency contracts reported by the Office of Federal Procurement Policy showed that the cost of such work by government had been 38% higher than contract work. A clear trend toward privatization is un- der way. A 1984 survey of 55 state and lo- cal' highway officials by Roads magazine disclosed that, by a 2-to-1 ratio, the offi- cials would be relying more on contractors and less on their' own forces for road con- struction and maintenance because they "are convinced that the private contractor can do the job more cost-effectively than public crews and equipment can." More than 100 different municipal actix~ties are now being provided by contract, ranging from adoption services to zoning control. 8impre pragmatism, not ideolo~, is the driving force behind contracting out of state and local services. Officials are learning that they can maintain and even improve services while reducing costs sig- nificantlY,' and today this is important for reelection-at least as important as pa- tronage and swollen public payrolls were in earlier days. The reason why privatization works so well is not that the people employed by government are somehow inferior to those employed by the private sector; they are not. It works because privatization offers choice, and choice fosters competition, which leads to more cost-effective perfor- mance. Contracting out means dissolving unnecessary government monopolies and introducing competition in the delivery of public services. The public benefits from this competition-provided that sound bid. ding, contracting and performance-moni- toring procedures are employed. Governments are responsible for decid- ing which services are to be paid for by the public, but they do not have to produce and deliver the services using government em- ployees. In effect, privatization elevates each government agency to the same c0m- manding position as a manufacturer who can decide whether to make or buy a com- ponent for the product he is assembling. The efficient manufacturer will maintain a competitive balance among his suppliers- including his o~m plant-to assure the best possible overall results. Prc',tictably, public-employee unions op- pose contracting out and federal tax re- form because they see an end to their cozy monopolies and a loss of jobs to their new competitors in the private sector. Ironi- cally, these private workers are them., selves often unionized. State and local-governments can take ~dvantage of the climate created by the federal tax-reform proposal and budget-re- duction effort to introduce new and better ways to manage their own affairs. Priw. ti- zation, with its amply demonstrated ben~- fits, leads to a better dixqsion of responsi- bilities between the public and private sec- tors, and can bring better and cheaper services to the public.

Among these significant actions is the selection of a site in Minneapolis for a waste-to-enerqs, facility, and four sites for transfer stations that would feed waste to the resource-recovery facility. The transfer station sites are in Bloomington, Brooklyn Park, Hopkins and South Minneapolis. Further, the County recently selected Blount Energy Resource Corporation as the firm with whom they would negotiate a contract for the construction, operation, and c~mership of a waste-to-energy facility. ~hose negotiations have started and we hope contracts will be ready for a~proval this sLm~ner. Part of the implementation of this project involves the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on the project. ~he Metropolitan Council has been designated as the governmental unit responsible for preparation of the EIS. On June 13, 1985, the Metropolitan Council determined that the EIS will include the evaluation of five alternate sites for each of the four transfer stations tb.e County originally proposed. We expect the Metropolitan Council, not the County, will identify and evaluate these alternate sites. The draft EIS should be ready for review in November, 1985 with public hearings to follow shortly thereafter. We will attempt to keep you informed on the status of this project. Sincerely, Luther D.

HS,-'FRAN - -CL'A'R:K CLERK CITY OF MOUNO June 28,1985 RECENT COUNCIL ACTIONS (June 17-28) Solid Wane-The Council gave Ramsey and Washington Counties approval to contract with Northern States Power Co. (NSP) to design, build, own and operate a resource recovery facility for processing the counties' municipal solid waste. The $31 million facility, to be built in Newport, will recover materi- als like iron and aluminum for recycling and produce a refuse- d~rived fuel. Construczion wid begin in July and is scheduled to be finished in late 1987. The Council also approved Ramsay and Washington County ordinances that'require haulers operating in the counties to deliver waste to the proposed NSP facility. The "designation" ordinances are intended to ensure the facility receives an adequate supply of waste. in another solid waste action, the Council adopted a task force study on "organized" trash collection-a system in which only one public or private group provides trash pickup services in an area. The report says the system may benefit waste man- ant by reducing costs and environmental impacts, helping abatement programs, and improving information about generation and composition. It says there's no need for a region-wide organized collection system, but that individual communities should consider it. Finally, the Council approved a proposal by Richard Gondek to operate a proposed demolition debris landfill in Vadnais Heights. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is to issue the permit. Airports .-The Council authorized the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) to proceed with the construction of a new $22 million parking ramp at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. At the same time, the Council urged the MAC to work with the Regional Transit Board and the Metropolitan Transit Commission to encourage greater use of mass transit in bringing ' 'people to the airport. Parks-The Council amended its 1983-1984 recreation open space capital improvement program by transferring $1.6 million allocated for acquisition in Central Mississippi Riverfront Regional Park, Minneapolis, to a new allocation of the same amount for the park's development'. The development includes building trails and bridge connections between Boom and Nicollet Islands, renovating the Durkee Atwood Building into a park pavillion and building a promenade on Boom Island. The Council also authorized a development grant contract amendment with the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board for the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes Regional Park. The amend- ment adds $97,300 for a new total of $597,000. The funds are to .build a pathway for hikers and bikers beneath Lake St. 3gside the channel that connects Lake Calhoun and Lake e Isles. a third action, the Council authorized a development grant amendment for Lake Elmo Park Reserve in Washington County, adding S94,000 for a new total of S2.1 million. The funds are to complete several projects, including construction of roads and trails. Housing-The Council said a housing revenue bond plan submitted by the Washington County Housing and Redevelop- ment Authority for St. Paul Park is consistent with regional housing guidelines. The county proposes to issue $650,000 in tax-exempt revenue bonds to finance the rehabilitation of Park Junior High School at 900 3rd St. for use as 17 apart- ment units for older people. It also proposes to issue $5.5 million in revenue bonds to develop 120 additional rental units on three acres adjacenz to the school. The Council sug- ·gested the county.ensure that for the first 10 years at least 2fl percent of the units in both projects are to be occupied by households with Iow or moderate incomes. The Council approved three applications for development of single-family housing units that would be eligible for federal mortgage insurance. Portions of each development are located outside metropolitan sewer service areas. Therefore, the Council conditioned its approval upon the cities involved amending their comprehensive plans, showing that sewer service will be pro- vided by 1990. The proposals are for the following sites: -- 204 lots at 140th St. and Johnny Cake Ridge Rd. in Apple Valley; - 70 lots at Hadley Ay. and'b,0th St. in Oakdale; and ; -- 89 lots at Hadley Ay., north of Stillwater Bird. in Oakdale. Aging-The Council awarded $1.3 million in federal Older Americans Act funds to 29 projects throughout the Metropoti- tan Area. Funds were distributed as follows: $1 million for in- home services, day care, nursing home ombudsman and trans- portation projects; $163,000 for senior center projects; and $151,000 for legal services. In another action, the Council awarded $58,762' in McKnight Foundation funds for projects proposed by 11 applicants. The projects include renovation and the purchase of equipment for senior centers and "self-help" activities aiding older people. The grant is the last in a three-year McKnight funding program. Transportation-The Council approved a relocation of a planned interchange in Brooklyn Park with the proposed Hwy. 610 (North Crosstown), The interchange, previously planned lor Beard Ay., would be moved a half mile to the west to Noble Av. to allow construction of a golf course and resi- dential development, In another action, the Council gave preliminary approval to Brooklyn Park's application for a $1,2 million loan to acquire 13 land parcels within :he Hwy, 610 right~3f-way. The Council gave final approval to'a Maple Grove application for a $423,000 loan to acquire two parcels within the same right-of-way, The loans are to purchase highway right-of-way land threatened by imminent development. "~ ~'"'"'S~wer Capacities--The Council set a public hearing date of Aug. 29 to hear public reaction to two alternative sewer con- struction plans to accommodate forecasted growth among eight[ communities on the western shores of Lake Minnetonka. Alternative 1, the Lake Virginia force main, is estimated to cost $8.7 million. It would provide enough regional sewer ce!~acity for 40 year~ without expanding the metropolitan urban service area prematurely. Alternative 2, the Lake Ann gravity sawer interceptor, is estimated to cost $14.4 million. It would also open up land in Chanhassen and Eden Prairie. The two cities propose to share in the costs of its construction. lq ! Sewage Treatment-The Council approved a. request from the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission for $421,000 in additional 1985 funding for construction at the Metro sewage treatment plant in St. Paul. The commission asked for S121,000 for laboratory modifications and additions and S300,000 as an arbitration settlement for construction work at the plant's sludge dewatering building. PUBLIC HEARINGS, PUBLIC MEETINGS Combined Sewer Overflow--The Council will hold a public hearing July 8 at 5 p.m, in the Council Chambers to hear com- ments on proposed amendments to its Water Resources Manage- . ment Developmen~ Gu/de.

COUNCIL SEEKS APPLICANTS FOR REGIONAL TRANSIT BOARD The Metropolitan Council is encouraging Twin Cities Area residents to apply for appointment to the Regional Transit Board (RTB). The new appointments are necessary because the Minnesota Legislature reduced the size of the RTB from its current 14 members to 8. ' The RTB was created in 1984 to put together short-range transit plans and earmark money for transit services throughout the seven-county area. All seats are open, including the at-large position of chair, currently held by Elliott Perovich. For information about the RTB, call the Council's Sandi Lindstrom at 291-6390. For an application form, call the office of the secretary of state at 296-2805. Applications will be accepted until July 21. Public hearings for candidates to appear before a Council appointments committee will take place at 7 p.m.; July 22 through 25 in the RTB district from which each member will be chosen. To find out what hearing you should attend, call Sandi Lindstrom at 291-6390. The committee will make its recommendations to the Council July 26 and the Council will appoint the board at a special meeting Aug. 1 at 4 p.m. COMING MEETINGS (July 8-19) (Meetings are tentative.

JUNE, 1985 183 University Ave. East, St. Paul, Er, inn. 55101 NO. 24 The Eleventh Annual Meeting of the Association of Metropolitan Muni- cipalities was held Thursday, May 30, 1985 at the Sheraton-Midway Hotel in St. Paul. Over 100 persons attend- ed the evening Social Hour, Ban- quet, and Annual Business Meeting to elect new officers for the coming year and to honor those who have served the organization in the past. In addition to the 85 delegates repre- senting 35 member cities, AMM guests included the Chair and twelve bers of the Metropolitan Coun- /note speaker for the evening was Sandra Gardebring, Chair of the Metropolitan Council. She was joined by Peter Meintsma, Chair of the Met- ropolitan Waste Control Commission and former Mayor of Crystal and Elliott Perovich, Chair of the Regional Transit Board and a former Mayor of Anoka. Mr. Meintsma and Mr. Pero- vich each spoke briefly as to the activities and progress of their respective agencies since their ap- pointments by Governor Perpich a year ago. Ms. Gardebring indicated that mak- lng choices and sett,ng priorities is essential in a time of limited resour- ces at all levels of government "by facing the fact that we can't do every- thing, we can choose what we will do and see it through." "The Council's commitment to foc- using much of its energy and re- sources on selected priorities was a major achievement in the past year," Gardebring said. "One of the Council's roles in the ion is to build consensus about best solutions to regional prob- lems. Consensus doesn't come with- out disagreements and give-and-take on the issues. But the Council is deeply committed, both to reaching Sandra Gardebring consensus and to setting clear pri- orities.'' She outlined the six top priorities Council members identified for the 1986 budget at a recent budget re- treat. They will be discussed at a ser- ies of meetings with local elected officials this summer, and at public meetings. Three are new priorities; three were included in the six initiatives Council members adopted shortly after Gar- debring became chair. The three new priorities include: · An analysis of whether changes in funding have hurt the at~ility of cities and other governm, ents in the Twin Cities area to deliver public services. Gardebring said she sees the study as a logical follow-up to the Council's recent studies of the financing of region- al services, such as sewers and transit, and its ongoing efforts to monitor financing trends affect- lng government at different levels in the region. · Improving the region's long-term care system for chronically ill, and physically and mentally hah- dicapped people. The Council's commitment, Gardebring said, is to reshape the system to place much greater emphasis on non- institutional care, recognizing the need not just for excellence in quality of care, but in quality of life. · Expanding the Council's role as a re. gional data center. The ex- panded operation will place g rea. t- er emphasis on data needed [o make major public and private decisions, and will also "pack- age" data to make it more useful for local governments and other decision-makers. The other three priorities: · A new direction in solid waste management for the region, loc- using on recovering resources from garbage. The legislature re- cently passed a major Council- backed solid waste proposal, pro- hibiting putting unprocessed solid waste into landfills after 1990. · Improving the Council's "over- sight" of activities of the metro- politan commissions for transit, airports and sewers. Legislation strengthening the Council's role in this area may be considered during the special legislative session. · Studying the region's long-range needs for public transit. In assessing the last year, Garde- bring said she believes substantial progress has been made in several areas, including improving the Coun- cil's relationship with the legislature and with local governments in the region. Officers Elected for 1955-I986 Year Jim Scheibel President Bob Thistle Vice-President James Scheibel, St. Paul Coun- cilmember, was elected President of the Association of Metropolitan Muni- cipalities for the 1985-1986 year at the Annual Meeting held May 30, 1985. Chosen for Vice-President was Coon Rapids City Manager Robert Thistle. Aisc elected were ten Board Directors. James Scheibel was elected to the St. Paul City Council in the spring of. 1982 and re-elected for a two year term in November of 1983. He has been active in community affairs since 1969. In that year he started as a Community Organizer for the West Side Citizens Organization and in 1974 became a Legislative Aide to Mayor Larry Cohen. He returned to being a Community Organizer until 1978 when he was appointed as Legislative Aide to Councilwoman Joanne Showalter. Later he served as Deputy Director of VISTA, a Senior Research Associate with Vice Presi- dent Mondale's Task Force on Youth Employment, and was the Associate Director of the Citizen's Heritage Center.

Jim was elected to the AMM Board of Directors in May 1982. For the past two years, he has been Chairman of the AMM Trans- portation Committee and a member of the Executive Committee. This past year he served as Vice Presi- dent. Jim graduated from St. John's University in 1969 with a Psychology Major. Bob Thistle, elected to the AMM Board of Directors in May of 1980, has been actively working with the League of Minnesota Cities, City Managers Association, LOGIS, and the AMM Board and committees since his arrival in Minnesota in July of 1979 as the City Manager for Coon Rapids. Bob was born and raised' in Detroit, Michigan and earned his undergraduate degree from Wayne State University. He began his career in public service in the City of Fenton, Michigan, where he was Administrative Assistant to the City Manager.

This was accomp- lished by establishment of a 12 mem- ber committee of local officials that during their five months of meetings surveyed all cities in the Metropoli- tan Area with an extensive question- naire. Between 80 and 90 percent of the respondents felt the AMM was doing a good job and providing appro- priate services. Most dissatisfaction centered on the Local Government - - Aid controversy but nearly everyone agreed on the value of the organiza- tion in its other efforts, especially in reacting with Metropolitan Agencies. Recognizing that the AMM needs to be ever responsive to needs of its members, the committee developed twelve recommendations of which eight were adopted by the budget committee and Board of Directors for immediate implementation. The other four were laid over for further discussion due to significant cost implications to present funding and Iget constraints. The results of study and related findings can serve as a workable blueprint for continued growth and success of the AMM. The second priority was to restore and improve working relationships President Jim $cheibel A New Year As I begin my term as president of AMM, I want to state my apprecia- tion for this opportunity. My invol- vement with the Transportation Advi- sory Board and the Metropolitan Health Board has given me a sense of what we can accomplish as met- ropolitan governmental bodies shar- ing in common discussion of issues affecting us as communities joined by proximity into a metropolitan whole. I welcome this experience as a professional challenge that merits my time and energies, and as a per- sonal opportunity to know better this larger community and its leaders. AMM has an opportunity and a crucial role to play in building the future of the metropolitan area. The quality of our contribution to that future will depend on the openness of our communications with each other and on our commitment to cooperative and creative action to- gether. If we are to finish theyear we now begin with a feeling of accomplish- ment, we must establish at the outset an agenda on which we mutually agree, based on goals that are realis- tic in scope and commonly shared. I n that regard, I plan to arrange soon a day or long evening when we can "retreat" together to consider what our goals and agenda for action should be. I am very aware of the time pressures all of us feel, but l think this time of determining our mission for the year is absolutely crucial to our effective functioning as an organization. Another thing I hope we will nur- ture this year is a sense of celebra- tion of that which we commonly share and enjoy. One opportunity for that will be the August 18th "Sun- day in the Park", at Rice Park (Ord- way Theatre) in St. Paul. This is an AMM co-sponsored event com- memorating the twentieth anniver- sary of the National Endowment for the Arts, and celebrating the rich- ness of our metropolitan environ- ment in providing opportunities to enjoy and share in the arts. It will be meaningful, I think, if our individual communities and townships make official recognition of this resource we share through resolutions acknow- ledging our common bond in nurtur- ing this crucial aspect of life in the metropolitan area. In this and other small ways, we have ~n opportunity to enlarge ou,r awareness of what we share and of the future we can work together to create. Thank you for your support in moving forward into a challenging and, I hope, rewarding year together. with the Metropolitan Council and Agencies. This has been done through increased interaction be- tween agency chairs and AMM Board and Staff and various other interac- tion on committees and one on one meetings. The AMM has had signifi- cant input and success in a modify- ing policy on issues dealing with Housing'and the MWCC this past year. The third priority was to try to find agreement and compromise on a local government aid formula. The lead agency in this effort was and continues to be the LMC. However, theAMM has had significant input in the process through Bob Thistle, the AMM Revenue Committee Chair and AMM Vice President who chaired the LMC Technical Committee that developed the consensus formula. The process developed good work- ing relationship and involved very lit- tle acrimony as has been experienced in the past. At one time, there was near unanimous agreement, how- ever, some withdrew that support at a later date. The important issue is that the value of working together and not letting just one issue prevent us from working together for many other important issues was learned! The stage has been set for eventual compromise and agreement! Retiring Board Directors were con- gratulated by President Backes for their dedicated services to the AMM and were presented with Certificates of Appreciation. They included Past President and Crystal City Manager Jack Irving, Eagan Mayor Bea Blcm- quist, former Lake Elmo Council- member Laura Fraser, Stillwater Mayor Harry Peterson, former Burns- ville City Manager, Jim Spore, and Minneapolis Government Relations Representative Bill Barnhart. President Elect Jim Scheibel then thanked President Ron Backes for his outstanding service to the AMM and presented him with a plaque containing the Athenian Oath to com- memorate that service. A BOARD OF DIRECTORS ~IM LACINA Jim Lacina was appointed City Administrator for the City of Wood- bury in 1977. Prior to that time he served as the Assistant to the Mana- ger/Personnel Director in the city of Richfield and as Administrative As- sistant to the City Manager in the City of Brooklyn Center. He obtained his Bachelors Degree and Masters Degree from Mankato State Univer- sity. His Masters program included emphasis in the Urban Administra- tion field. He is currently active in the Metropolitan Area Management sociation (MAMA), Minnesota City Management Association, and the International City Management As- sociation ~ICMA). He has served on various committees and held chair- manships through his membership in these organizations and has been President of the Suburban Police recruitment and testing effort of 40 suburban communities in the metro- politan area. Jim was first elected ~o the AMM Board in May of 1979 serv- ing a two year term but chose not to seek a second term at that time due to pressing city business. When a director's position became available from the Washington County area due to the misfortunes of the Nov- ember election process, Jim was appointed by the Board of Directors in January of 1985. He has been an active participant for several years on the AMM General Legislation Com- mittee and has served on other com- mittees in past years. Jim is a Minne- sota native and truly enjoys the mid- west area. He, his wife Mary Beth and two sons, Corbin and Matthew, live in Woodbury. Jim emjoys sail- ing, hunting, fishing, skiing and sym- phony music. ~ ~..~at;.~':.'~ , ._. ,_: · .-,.~ · ... , ~ . ~ PAT HOYT NEILS Pat Hoyt Neils has been a Ply- mouth Councilmember for seven years.

AE iM 1985 Legislative Progrsm Highlights The AMM had an excellent year o~ success in meeting policy goals on significant legislative program issues. This was the year of the billion dollar tax relief program and large state budget reserve increase. These were the highly publicized, time consum- ing issues of the year. To accomp- lish those goals, the legislature re- duced funding for many programs and generally held increases to min- imal inflation amounts. However, de- spite the concentration on tax relief and budget cuts, many programs important to cities and supported by AMM requiring state financing deci- sions such as Public Tra.nsit, Com- bined Sewer Overflow, and Local Government Aid were funded at lev- els exceeding the general inflation rate. In man. y instances the legisla- ture was less interested in dealing with bills outside of direct state fund- ing. Once again, the AMM was suc- cessful in resolving significant pol- icy cgnerning such items as Federal Revenue Sharing reduction levy ad- justment, the Co-efficient of Dispe sion penalty, fiscal notes, cable com- munication, comprehensive planning consistency, Solid Waste Manage- ment, and Highway Jurisdiction. Many other AMM positions oppos- ing various actions which would be considered detrimental to local gov- ernment were successfully delayed or defeated. All in all, considering the focus of the 1985 session, AMM endorsed policy program issues fared well. A more detailed description and status report of AMM accom- plishments will be distributed in a separate report mailed to members. Policy Committees to Resume for 1986 The AMM Policy Committees will resume meeting late this summer to begin development of new policy or changes to current policy for the 1986 legislative session. Any member from any city may and is encouraged t'o volunteer serve on a committee.

Bud Skoglund DISTRICT TELEPHONE 6121473.7033 FRANK MIXA, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR /?o? LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT Re: Application of Surfside, Inc. FINDINGS A public hearing for a new dock license for Surfside, Inc. was held at 7:30 P.M. on February 13, 1985 at the Tonka Bay Village Hall. Butch Essig appeared for Surfside, Inc. The applicant seeks approval for a reconfigu~ed dock plan which would provide for 35 permanent rental slips. In the past, Surfside, Inc. has been licensed for 51 slips of which 27 were designated for permanent rental and 24 were des- ignated as transient slips for use by patrons of the restaurant on the site. The applicant advised that the restaurant was being discontinued and a 29-unit condominium was to be constructed on the site. The facility had formerly been granted setback variances on both sides of the site. The applicant's proposal is to construct a new marina facility which would be operated for the benefit of the condominium .association. The marina would provide a pump-out station and a ship's store. The facilities on the site are presently non-conforming uses under the LMCD Code of Ordinances in that there is more than one boat for. each 50 feet of shore line and no special density permit has been granted for the site. Furthermore, the facilities are not in compliance with current dock length and setback require- ments and the application involves ~xpansion of facilities in the zone between 100 and 200 feet from the shore line. LMCD Code ~3.082 prohibits the conversion of use from transient facilities to commercial marina facilities without first coming into compliance with current provisions of the Code. The pro- posal would increase the'number of permanent rental slips from 27 to 35. The application would involve not only a change, but an intensification of the non-conforming use. CONCLUSIONS On the basis of the foregoing, it is concluded that the proposed facilities of Surfside, Inc. violate the provisions of LMCD Code §3.082. Therefore, the application cannot be granted, and the facilities must either remain in the configuration and use authorized by previous licenses or be brought into compliance with current provisions'of the'LMCD-Codei2- ORDER On the basis of the foregoing, IT IS ORDERED: That the new dock license application of Surfside, Inc. be denied. By order of the '.Board of Directors of the Lake Minnetonka Conser- vation District .this 1st day of July , 1985.

The state has now granted recognition to Community Action for Suburban Hennepin (CASH) to serve as the County's suburban CAA. A grant of $10,600 from the Department of Economic Security has been awarded to CASH to finance their organizational and start-up activities. The process for securing a Board of Directors for this new agency has now begun and I would like your help in recruiting interested suburban elected o'fficials to serve on this Board. The statute requires that one-third of its 27 members must be elected public officials currently holding office. The County Board will ap- point six suburban elected officials, two representing each of the human service council areas. The County Board is following its open appointment process to select these directors. Nominations for appointment to the Board of Directors should be submitted to Kay Mitchell, Clerk to the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners, by July 25, 1985. I encourage you to consider this opportunity and to inform other public officials in your juris- diction of these vacancies. The period surrounding formation of a new organization with a challenging mission is, as you know, one of the most exciting and imPortant times in that organization's life. It sets the tone for the future and provides a sense of vision to the organization that will be a central element in its continuing existence. I sincerely hope that you will be able to assist in this worthwhile effort by applying to serve on the Board. Sincerely, Bo~a SP~~airman of ~{enn~in County Commissioners 3u1¥ 11, 1985 Senator Gen Olson Room 132C State Office Building St. Paul, MN 55155 Dear Senator Olson, It has come to my attention that a safety project which involves constructing a guardrail near the intersection of Tuxedo Rd. and Manchester Rd. in Mound, has become stalled at the State Dept. of Transportation Variance Board. Jon Elam, Mound City Manager, has submitted an application for a gas tax safety project which requires a variance, that apparently will not get any action until the board has 10 variances to consider. The last word was that we are #2 on the list with 8 more to go. The safety improvements at the intersection are urgently needed[ The poor design of the intersection combined with the speed of most cars creates an extremely dangerous situation, which has resulted in numerous accidents which are well documented with the city, police department, newspapers, and television news. The most recent accident involved a van vaulting over the curb and flying "Dukes Of Hazzard Style" into my garage, destroying thousands of dollars of personal property and severely injuring both occupants of the van. Fortunately, my wife and two small children (ages 1 and 3) were upstairs and not injured; however, next time we may not be so lucky. I strongly urge you to in- vestigate this situation and hopefully, get an approval before someone else is injured or worse yet, killed. Please call me at 472-7325 or Jon Elam at 472-1155 if you need additional information. Sincerely, Brian M.

Ostenson Marilynn Corcoran Roz Shovlin Archie Reed Richard J. Hlavka Robert DeGhetto David Klatke, Jr. Ron Dehn John Whitman Dick Schieffer Hilmer Hartman Mike Pauling Lyle W. ~nks, Mayor - St. Louis Park Dave Winter, Senior Planner - Hennepin County Mark S. Bar. art, Planner - Hennepin County Mike Tr~l~n, l~=cycling Program Coordinator - Minneapolis Paula Okerstrom, Recycling Coordinator - Richfield Carmen Kaplan, Admin. Assistant - St. Louis Park Paul Smith, Environmental Planner - Metropolitan Council Dave Winter opened the meeting and introduced Lyle Hanks, Mayor of St. Louis Park. Mayor Hanks presented a historic overview of solid waste activities in St. Louis Park. Prior to air pollution regulations, the city burned its refuse in a municipal incinerator. Several years ago, the defunct incinerator was leased to a recycling firm as a processing facility. About the sa~e time, the city contracted with a consulting firm to develop landfill-abatement alternatives. ~he consultant study rec~Lended curbside collections of recyclables as the preferred strategy. The city started a pilot program and, in April, 1984, St. Louis Park started a city-wide program which collects newspaper, metals and glass. ~he program provides stackable plastic containers to each. dwelling unit. There are approximately 12,000 dwelling units in the City of St. LOuis Park. The recyclables are collected twice per month, with approximately a 50% participation rate. Reliable service and vendors was stressed as an important aspect of a curbside collection program. Mayor Hanks stated that the program, including the stackable containers, has cost approximately one-third of a million dollars. Funds for the program have come fr~m a OaL,~unity Development Block Grant (CDBG), ~ennepin County, and frcm city funds. St. Louis Park's involvement in recycling is due to the concern of envirormentally aware citizens and economic incentives. The City of St. Louis Park has organized collection and contracts for refuse collection and disposal. Mayor Hanks stated the scheduled collection/disposal rate of $6.05 per household per month was adjusted down to $5.90 per household per month, due to materials being diverted to the recycling program. Dick Schieffer asked Carmen Kaplan, Administrative Assistant with the City of St. Louis Park, if she was aware of any negative feelings toward the stackable plastic containers. Carmen responded that there were. only a few negative c~,u,~nts and that the containers were generally well accepted by residents. Paula Okerstrcm, recycling coordinator with the City of Richfield, gave a presentation on the City of Richfield's recycling program. The city operates a once-per-month (seoond Saturday) curbside-collection program for newspaper only. 'The newspaper is collected by volunteer groups who provide their c~n transportation. ~nere are .approximately 12 active volunteer groups participating in the program, and another 8 which have shown interest in the program. These groups are becoming more cooperative with each other as time goes on. ~he city is divided into areas of varying sizes to facilitate the various sizes of volunteer groups and their caI~bility to service those areas. The western third of the city, which is west of 1-35W, also has a private firm collect glass, cans, used oil, and batteries, on the same pickup day. ~his firm also acts as a back-up in the event one of the volunteer groups cannot meet its pickup c~..uitment. Participation rates vary from 10% to 20%, with an average of approximately 15%. In addition to the. curbside programs, the city also operates a drop-off recycling center on the same day as the curbside collection program. ~he center is located at the Cedar Avenue Municipal Liquor Store, and provides a recycling opportunity for the eastern two-thirds of the city which does not have curbside pickup service for glass, cans, used oil and batteries. Approximately 3,500 households are served by the programs. Multi-family housing is currently not a part of the program, due to concerns on the part of the fire marshal of possible fire hazards within apartments from residents stockpiling newspaper. The City of Richfield program has collected approximately 600 tons of newspaper in the-last eight months, and an additional 50 tons of glass and cans. Promotion of the program has taken the form of: (1) water bill inserts, (2) cable-TV access announcements, (3) direct-mail brochures, (4) liquor- store marquee announcements, (5) program information in grocery store bulletin-boards and church newsletters, and (6) posting lawn signs. Fur~ .~ to operate the program have come from C~,~nity Develounent Block Gra~ts. ($10,000), Hennepin County ($10,000), and $10,000 in-kind staffing fr~n the City of Richfield. Dick Schieffer asked Paula Okerstrcm if s~ne type of outdoor structure, in the parking lot, for example, would be added to the program in order to include multi-housing residents in the program. Paula replied, stating that there were only a few, rather large, multi-family housing complexes in Richfield, and they do not have much interest in becoming involved in the program. Dick Schieffer asked if containers like those used in St~ Louis Park would help participation. Paula replied, "yes". Marilynn Corcoran asked if the collection of oil and batteries posed any concern of liability due to their nature as a hazardous waste. Mrs. Okerstrcm replied that it has not caused any problens. Mike Pauling stated that, based on the amount of paper being recovered in Richfield, if the participation rate rose substantially, on a county-wide basis, he felt that the BTU value of refuse would be 'affected, and this may affect the operations of the waste-to-energy facility(ies). Mr. Pauling also stated that he was in favor of recycling if there were markets for the recyclables. Charles Tncmson thought cities should make a requirement of nulti-family housing complexes to provide drop-off recycling containers. Mike Trdan, recycling program coordinator for the City of Minneapolis, presented a historic overview and slide ~how on recycling in Minneapolis. On June 22, 1982, the city established a pilot curbside collection program for recyclables in the southwest portion of the city. The program served 35,000 homes and collected, on a monthly basis, newspaper, clear glass, and cans. On November 1, 1983, the program became city-wide and added green and brown glass, used drain ~i.1 and batteries, as recyclables. Also, when the program became city-wide, the collection of recyclables was shifted, when possible, from the curb to the alley. The city is divided into 63 recycling routes served by 5 private contractors. The contractors, in addition to retaining revenues from the sale of recyclables, receive from etween $10 and $17 per ton from the city for collecting the recyclables. 5he average subsidy is $12.50 per ton. The City of Minneapolis program serves more households than any other program in the country. This program relies on a system of 2,100 block coordinators posting yard signs th~ day before recycling pickup day. There are approximately 5,000 blocks in the City of Minneapolis. The city is hoping to add an additional 1,000 block coordinators in 1985. ~he city has enacted an anti-scavenging ordinance, with a $500 fine to reduce the-number of individuals taking high-revenua aluminum from recyclables which have been set out for pickup. Minneapolis's racycling program receives between 100 and 150 phone calls per day regarding the program. The city's program services approximately 120,000 dwelling units made up of single, duplex, triplex and fourplex units of the approximately 163,000 total dwelling units within the city. Mr. Trdan stated that although the number of tons of refuse collected within the city fr~n 1973 to 1983 has not appreciably Changed from an average of approximately 131,000 tons per year, the city lost 23,000 residents. This would indicate that the number of pounds of waste generated per person has increased since 1973. Dick Schieffer asked Mike Trdan if there were any plans to provide recycling opportunities to multi-family areas. Mr. Trdan responded that the city, with help from county funds, is planning such an . endeavor this summer. Marilynn Corcoran asked if the City of Minneapolis's program collects hazardous waste. Mike responded "no". It was mentioned that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is planning either a drop-off or curbside pilot program this year for the collection of household hazardous wastes. Alvin ~algaard asked what kind of outside funding assistance is available for recycling programs. Dave Winter presented the Hennepin County policy statement for the funding of source-separation programs within the county. The meeting adjourned at 6:10 p.m. IflJ 9thMeeting of the HennepinCounty Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee (May 8, 1985) The advisory committee was called to order at 4:32 p.m. in Meeting Room A of the Ridgedale Library. Attending the meeting were: Doris J. Conzet RonMoening MarilynnCorcoran Roz Shovlin Bob Sharlin Alvin T. Balgaard Richard Zilka, Jr. Susan Covnick Rick Person Charles Thomson Josephine D. Nunn Dick Schieffer Richard J. Hlavka Carol K. Johnson Robert DeGhetto RonDehn David Klatka, Jr. Hilmer Hartman Don E. Ostenson Thomas Anderson Dave Winter, Senior Planner - Hennepin County Mark S. Banwart, Planner - Hennepin County Jim Uttley, Planner - Metropolitan Council Joann Nelson, President - Recycling Unlimited, Inc. Ron Mason, President - Rohn Industries Dave Locey, Executive Vice President - Minnesota Soft Drink Association Brent.Nelson - Recycling Unlimited, Inc. Chairman, Dick Schieffer, opened the meeting and introduced the three guest speakers. Mr. Schieffer then turned the meeting over to Dave Winter who gave a brief p!esentation on the designation plan process. Mr. Winter explained that the Metropolitan Council has approved the county's designation plan for the control of solid waste in Hennepin County. In addition, the Metropolitan Council approved the following requestec%exclusions from flow control: (1) 150 tons per day of Hennepin County solid waste to Richards Asphalt Co. in Savage, (2) 400 tons per day of Hennepin County solid waste to Reuter, Inc. in Hopkins, and (3) 150 tons per day of HennepinCounty.garbage to Energy Waste Systems in New Brighton. The exclusion of the 700 tons per day from Hennepin County flow control leaves insufficient amounts of waste remaining for Hennepin to commit itself to either the NSP and Dakota County or the NSP and Anoka County proposed refuse-derived-fuel projects. Chairman Dick Schieffer turned the floor over to Joann Nelson, President of Recycling Unlimited, Inc. Joann Nelson presented an overview of Recycling Unlimited's operations in Hennepin County and elsewhere. In Hennepin County, Recycling Unlimited provides curbside collection service to the southeast portion of Minneapolis where they collect newspaper, corrugated cardboard, aluminum, tin and steel cans, glass containers, drain oil and batteries. Recycling Unlimited also provides curbside collection of recyclables in the western one-third of Richfield for aluminum, tin and steel cans, drain oil, batteries and glass containers, in coordination with voluntary groups collecting newspaper. Joann Nelson stated that her firm also operates several drop-off centers. Recycling Unlimited provides a social service by employing individuals who otherwise are not employable. The firm also conducts educational and promotional programs. Joann Nelson stated that in late October, 1984., Recycling Unlimited, Inc. became economically self-sufficient. Alvin Balgaard asked when the firm started in business; Mrs. Nelson said that she and her family have been involved with recycling si.nce 1969, and that Recycling Unlimited was started in 1981. Marilynn Corcoran asked what are some of the specific problems encountered in operating a curbside recycling program. Mrs. Nelson responded that education of the public is the most significant problem, while changes in curbside collection practices can become costly. In addition, Joann felt that the government should not consider money to recyclers as a subsidy but rather as paying for a service. Thomas Anderson asked if there were markets for recyclables. Joann responded, stating that there are no problems in finding markets for recyclables; however, the prices may vary and are currently dropping. The question was asked why the prices are down for recyclables. Joann responded that there must be more demand for recyclables and feels that through education the pubI. ic would buy products with packaging made from recycled materials and that, in turn, would stimulate more demand for recyclables. Some firms are placing a recycled material emblem on their packaging indicating that the package is made from recycled material. Roz Shovlin asked, since more people are recycling is that the reason for the lower market prices? The response was, no, since the downward trend in market prices is national. Bob Sharlin asked if Recycling Unlimited is involved in collecting recyclables from only residential areas, or are businesses included in their program. Joann stated that they do very little collecting from businesses, and that their firm is mainly involved in residential collection of recyclables. One person asked what it costs to collect recyclables in a curbside recycling program. Joann responded by stating that according to their figures it costs $30 per ton. Dick Schieffer asked, with regard to starting a recycling business, if Recycling Unlimited developed the markets first or used existing markets. Joann replied that they did not attempt to develop markets, but rather used existing ones. Joann also stated that markets will develop if recycling firms can deliver materials, and recycling firms will deliver materials if markets exist. Carol Johnson asked, what are the major markets for recyclables? Joann responded by stating that Champion International is their main paper market, Anchor Glass is used for the glass, MSD Recycle and sc.~ scrap metal firms are used for the metals. The oil is handled by an independent contractor. Education programs are an important aspect to a successful recycling p~ogram. Joann stressed that the publicity should be diverse in its approach and format to address the various segments of our c~n~nunity. She felt that brochures and personal contacts are very effective, but TV is not particularly effective since it is used primarily to entertain. Rick Person asked if participation rates have changed over the years. Joann responded by stating that when her firm first started they had a participation rate of between 4% and 10%, and stated that now some areas have 60% to 70% participation, and some small areas, a specific example is Tangletown, which has 100% participation. Chairman Dick Schieffer introduced Dave Locey, Executive Vice President of the Minnesota Soft Drink Association. Mr. Locey presented an overview of the MSD Recycle operation. The MSD Recycle operation was formed in 1980 as a partnership of beverage drink companies in response to beverage container legislation. MSD Recycle operates: (1) 28 ~bile unit locations, (2) 14 reverse vending machines, and (3) 4 processing centers. ~nemobile unit locations consist of a manned MSD truck and trailer located three-to-four hours in a shopping center or grocery store parking lot, where citizens can take and get paid for their recyclables. ~ne 14 reverse vending machines, located in Hennepin County are'at Red Owl stores, with the proceeds going to non-profit groups such as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, etc. MSD's Hennepin County recycling processing center is located at the now-defunct St. Louis Park incinerator. This facility handles aluminum, steel cans and glass containers as well as corrugated. In 1984,.MSD Recycle recovered 527 tons of recyclables from Hennepin County, and paid $120,000 for these recyclables. An additional 400 tons of recyclables were recovered at the Prior Avenue processing facility in St. Paul. The markets for recyclables are: aluminum steel glass paper Alcoa Aluminum, located in Tennessee Huron Michigan Steel, located in Michigan Anchor Glass, located in Shakopee Champion International, located in St. Paul It is estimated that it costs MSD Recycle approximately 4 cents per pound to process recyclables. Mr. Locey stated that when one talks about markets, one should refer to "viable" markets, due to the national inbalance of import and export commodities. Aluminum, an international market commodity, has suffered with lower prices. Since 1983, 35% of glass plants in the nation have either changedhands or have been closed, which indicates this is a sick industry. The future of recycling is not bright, Mr. Locey stated. Dick Schieffer asked if markets should be developed. Mr. Locey responded that he b~s been involved in the solid waste business for 15 years, and pointed out that, using the example of plastics, there is no uniformity packaging and there are many types of plastics used in packaging, making it extremely difficult for market development. Mr. Locey stated that his firm invested $45,000 last year in a plastic bottle processing machine which has not worked. Dick Locey indicated that there was no .particular problem with marketing aluminum, stating that 36 million pounds of aluminumbeverage cans are sold to consumers each year in Minnesota; and, in 1984, 6 million pounds of aluminum and 5 million pounds of steel cans were collected by MSD Recycle. In addition to MSD RecyCle's efforts, Reynolds Aluminum and others are actively recycling aluminum and jointly recover approximately 60% of aluminum cans. Dick Schieffer asked what would happen if government became involved in the processing of recyclables, and Bob Sharlin asked if there were any possibilities of market saturation due to government involvement in recycling. Dave Locey indicated that there would be a glass glut on the regional market. Marilynn Corcoran, Charles Thomson, and Don Ostenson asked a series of questions dealing with the burning and recycling of plastics. Dave Locey indicated that he thought there was no problem with burning plastics, as in the case of the local bottling plants burning PET plastic bottles at the rate of about 15 tons per day. Others questioned if the industry should be required to have their packaging either burnable or biodegradable. Dave Locey responded by saying that one type of plastic may be burnable, but when combined with other plastics it m~y cause problems. Others asked, if we shculd require industry to have plastics that are safe to burn would help the gla~ industry? Dave replied that, although it might, the packaging industr.~~ movement is definitely toward the use of more plastics. (~airman Dick Schieffer introduced Ron Mason, President of Rohn Industries. Mr. Mason presented an overview of Rohn Industries. ~his company services 50 companies in the Minneapolis area. Rohn Industries is currently handling approximately 4 million pounds of high-grade office paper per year. He feels that only about 15% of firms which could support an office-paper-recovery program are currently involved in such a program. Rohn Industries specializes in serving offices which have a lack of storage space by providing timely service and intermediate collection containers. Rohn Industries also recovers paper from 22 buildings at the University of Minnesota. Mr. Mason stated the reason that more office-paper recycling has not occurred is because there is a lack of dependable firms, and there is a need for more education for businesses to appreciate that waste paper is a resource. Rohn Industries' major market is Pioneer Paper Stock, and so~ also goes to Champion Paper in St. Paul. Ron Mason stated that, due to recent downturns in the economy, the high value of the U. S. dollar, and the national deficit, pulu~ood has dropped in price from $425 a ton to $225 a ton, while pulp substitutes such as office paper has dropped from $225 per ton down to $170 par ton. This down~urn in paper prices is causing paper recyclers, such as Rohn Industries, to lose money. Ron Mason indicated that this kind of downturn in paper prices may indicate a recession similar to the early 1980 's within the next four-to-six months. Dick Schieffer opened the meeting to members for discussion on the use and function of subcommittees to develop policies. Susan Covnick, Thomas Anderson, Richard Hlavka, Don E. Ostenson, (/~arles Thomson and Dick Schieffer discussed: (1) how big each committee should be, (2) how many members should be on each committee, (3) if m~mbers could be on more than one committee, and (4) should the committee be representative of citizen, industry and city representatives. Ron Moening suggested that a general meeting to discuss the committee's activities to date should be held prior to subcommittees establishing policies. The general consensus was that: (1) there would be subcon~ttees as indicated in the May 3 mailing to all members, entitled "Draft Policy Questions for Hennepin County's Solid Waste Master Plan"; (2) some members would be on more than one subcommittee; (3) there should be approximately six members on each subcommittee; and (4) the subcommittees should be representative of city, industry and citizen representatives. Dick Schieffer will assign members to various subcommittees based on their responses to the questionnaire on interests and expertise. Dick Schieffer indicated that although the entire HCSWMAC should discuss many of the possible policies to be discussed by subcommittees, the subcommittees should be formed as soon as possible to allow them time to get organized. The meeting adjourned at 6:10 p.m. 10th meeting of the Hennepin County Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee (May 22, 1985) The advisory committee was called to order at 4:38 p.m. in Meeting Room A of the Ridgedale Library. Attending the meeting were: Chuck Kutter Doris Conzet Richard Zilka, Jr. Robert T. Derus Roz Shovlin Josephine Nunn John Whitman Thomas Anderson Charles Thomson Hilmer Hartman Dick Schieffer Bob Sharlin Rick Hlavka Robert DeGhetto Marilynn Corcoran David Klatka, Jr. Ron Dehn Alvin T.

Director 'Leslie Davis Bill Dunn Hennepin County Metropolitan Council District 49A MN f~apter of the Nat'l Solid Waste Management Ass 'n. Preserve Green Acres Sierra Club and Audubon Society Citizens League Citizens League Earth Protector, Inc. Minnesota Public Interest Research Group Chairman Dick Schieffer opened the meeting and introduced the guest speakers for the evening. Chairman Schieffer then discussed his memorandum to the advisory committee regarding subcommittee assignments and schedule (see attachment). Each subcommittee should elect its own chair and establish its own schedule. The subcommittees should have preliminary policies drafted for the June 19, 1985 HCSWMAC meeting. The committee decided that there is a need for a special discussion session, and scheduled May 29th for this meeting. The possible rescheduling-of the July 3, 1985 meeting was determined not to be necessary. Mr. Schieffer turned the meeting over to Bob Sharlin, who chaired the remainder of the meeting. BOb Sharlin introduced the Honorable Darby Nelson, District 49A State Representative. Mr. Nelson described the legislative perspective concerning solid waste management. He referred to a handout on Minnesota Statutes describing rece~' changes brought about by the 1985 legislative session. These include: (1) State agencies are required to recycle when feasible; (2) private firms may apply for exclusion from resource-recovery designation (flow control) plans; (3) individual counties may have a source-separation ordinance; (4) the cities can exceed levy limits for cost to implement waste-reduction, source-separation program~; and (5) in addition to the 50 cents ~er household per year qualifying city programs, there will also now be a $4 per ton subsidy for recyclables diverted from landfills (see attachment). Representativ~~ Nelson indicated that he foresaw no additional state legislation to create incentives for more recycling, and feels that there are sufficient numbers of incentives already in place which need now to be utilized by Met Council, the counties, and the cities. Charles Thompson asked if there is any possible analysis by the legislature in establishing the approximately $1.4 million annual revenues from the landfill surcharge and the respective grant programs from those proceeds. Mr. Nelson replied that the $1.4 million was determined as the revenue from the landfill surcharge, based on conference committee compromises establishing a 50 cent-per- cubic-yard fee, and on waste generated in the metro area. Bob Sharlin introduced Leslie Davis of Earth Protector, Inc. Mr. Davis stated that burning of refuse is not a solution, and may in the long term be more detrimental than landfilling. The verdict is not in on the possible negative effects of dioxins caused by the combustion of refuse. Mr. Davis stated that he feels there is a stampede toward construction of waste-to-energy facilities, not because of the environmental effectiveness of these facilities, but because of economic incentives. He pointed to the example of the Lieutenant Governor of New York, who has since resigned and is now chairman of Signal RESCO, ~a major waste-to-energy facility vendor. Earth Protector, Inc. promotes i~mediate and major efforts in the areas of source separation and composting, and only after-total exploitation of these forms of waste abatement should burning be considered. Earth Protector is' not in favor of the institutionalization of the burning of garbage. Earth Protector is currently contesting NSP's efforts to obtain a permit to burn refuse at the Wilmarth plant in Mankato. Leslie Davis described a case where the City of Minneapolis is not requiring a developer who is intending to build a large downtc~n building, to facilitate source separation within the building design. He stated that there should be more effort by municipalities in requiring developers, who will be' using our natural resources, to facilitate our policies toward more source separation in their building designs. (See attachment, ~ J_~ article of April 22, 1985.) Bob Sharlin introduced the next speaker, Bill Dunn, who is with the Minnesota Public Interest Research Group. Mr. Dunn stated that MPIRG is a student-funded and administered organization representing nine institutions in Minnesota. The MPIRG and its environmental task force is increasingly becoming involved in high-grade office paper recycling, which is now being recovered in 22 buildings at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis campus. The group believes that source separation recycling should be considered another means of disposal, and feels that community education should play a vital role in establishing a positive recycling ethic. Efforts toward more recycling should be founded on optimism rather than current realities. Mr. Dunn also pointed to the recent Hennepin County funding policy and thinks such policies from the county, as well as the state and Metro Council, should provide incentives for educational institutions to' promote more recycling. A material survey recently completed indicates that approximately 25 tons per day of office paper is being generated on both Twin City campuses of the University. Mr. Dunn also pointed to the Carlton College campus,, where students have been operating a voluntary recycling program for a number of years. ~hey have now been able to underwrite the cost of their collection containers, and now cwn a truck. Bob Sharlin introduced Mary Ayde, Executive Secretary of the Minnesota Chapter of the National Solid Waste Management Association. (See attachments, "Presentation of NSWMA Views on Solid Waste Management", May 22, 1985, and Waste Age editorial.) Bob Sharlin then introduced Jodi Hauer, Research Associate with the Citizens League. Jodi Hauer stated tbmt the Citizens League has been concerned with solid waste management issues since the mid-1970s. She stated that the main focus of her group is to promote a workable collection and disposal system which is both environmentally safe and economically sound. Tne Citizens League believes that through the designation (flow control) of solid waste for high-technology waste-to- energy facilities there is no competition. The Citizens League feels that the designation of waste is not necessary, and that the legislative mandate to eliminate unprocessed waste .by 1990 is sufficient to induce, vendors toward the development of waste-to-energy facilities. The Citizens League also feels that an equal amount of effort should be allocated to low technology source-separation, recycling and composting activities as there is toward the large waste-to-energy high technologies. The Citizens League believes that decisions to pursue various waste-abatement activities should be sensitive to economics. Bob Sharlin introduced Virgil Linn, President of Preserve Gree~ Acres. Mr. Linn stated that Preserve Green Acres was formed in response to Hennepin County's efforts to establish a "megasite" landfill in western Hennepin County. His group believes that there is no available land for landfills, and alternative means to land disposal should be sought. Preserve Green Acres pr .o~otes composting, recycling, and waste-to-energy activities as the desirable alternatives to landfi~ disposal. Virgil stated that with full implementation of the alternative waste abatement activities, only about one acre-foot per year of landfill space would be needed in Hennepin County. PGA has been instrumental in establishing the Delano and Loretto recycling programs and is working in promoting the Rockford recycling center, which is a Hennepin County facility. Mr. Linn stated that public education is very essential in promoting wiser buying habits for products which: (1) are more readily recyclable or which last longer; (2) promote reuse of materials; and (3) promote recycling. Bob Sharlin introduced the last speaker of the evening, Jenny Black, Natural Resources Chairperson of the Sierra Club and Audubon Society. Jenny Black stated that the group she represents has both established a solid waste management policy which promotes, in order of importance - (1) waste reduction, (2) source separation, (3) composting, and (4) energy recove~ - as ways of alleviating the need for landfills. Jenny Black stated that the county's Comprehensive Recycling Study, conducted by Pope-Reid Associates, suggests the potential to recycle 40% of the waste stream, and believes the county should be moving toward that level of waste abatement. The Sierra Club and Audubon Society believes that very little effort by the county has been undertaken in the way of education, and that there should be more publicity for its composting program. The groups feel very strongly against the use of plastic milk containers, and other packaging which does not lend itself readily to recycling. The Sierra Club and Audubon Society strongly disagree with the Citizens League on the view that waste-abatement activities should be considered sensitive to economics, and feels that environmental concerns should override and definitely be of greater importance than possible costs. The meet. ing adjourned at 6:30 p.m. MSB :mvr llth Meeting of the Hennepin County Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee (May 29, 1985) The advisory com~itteewas called to order at 4:30 p.m. in Meeting Room A of the Ridgedale Library for a special discussion meeting. Attending the meeting were: Richard Schieffer Dave Klatke, Jr. John Leadholm Chuck Kutter Rick Person A1 Balgaard Roz Shovlin Ray Stockman Hilmer Hartman RonDehn Doris J. Conzet Josephine Nunn Phyllis Jessen Clarence Oster John Whitman Charles Thomson Susan Covnick Visitors: Ginny Black Barry Johnson Mary Ayde Dave Winter, Senior Planner - Hennepin County Dick Schieffer opened the meeting, and there was a discussion about the general administration of the HCSWMAC. Dave Winter stated that the Department of Environment and Energy staff is available to assist subcor~ttees. The committee separated into subcomnittees for approximately 50 minutes. 7he subco~ttee chairs are: Composting - Hilmer Hartman Landfills -Doris Conzet Waste Reduction - Not yet determined Waste-to-Energy - Not,et determined Source Separation/Recycling - ~arilynn Corcoran Overall Policies -Thomas Anderson During the last 15 minutes of the meeting, the subcommittees su~u~arized their discussions. Charles Thomson described the solid-waste energy-recovery situation; John Whitman stated that the Waste Reduction subcommittee thought there should be steps toward eliminating plastic bags and disposable diapers from the waste stream; Josephine Nunn and Susan Covnick, who are on the Overall Policy subcOmmittee,~stated that they had added other items to the policy question list; Chuck Kutter said that the Source Separation/Recycling subco~ttee is planning to meet during the week of June 3; the Landfill subcommittee and Composting subcommittee will meet following the .regularly-scheduledmeeting on June 5 at 6:00 p.m. ~he subcommittees will present their preliminary policy statements at the June 19, 1985 meeting. The meeting adjourned at 6:00 p.m. 12th Meeting of the Hennepin County Solid Waste Management ~visory Conmittee (June 5, 1985) The advisory committee was called to order at 4:45 p.m. in Meeting Room A o~ Ridgedale Library. Attending the meeting were: Archie Reed John Whitman Hilmer Hartman Tom Anderson Richard Hlavka Robert Sharlin David Klatka, Jr. A1 Balgaard John Leadholm Dick Schieffer Don E. Ostenson Chuck Kutter Ron Moening Marilyn Corcoran Doris Conzet Ron Dehn Roz Shovlin Clarence Oster Susan Covnick Charles Thomson Richard Zilka, Jr. Robert T. Derus Dave Winter, Senior Planner - Hennepin County Mark S. Banwart, Planner - Hennepin County Colleen Halpine, Solid Waste Planner - Ramsey County Mike Lein, Waste Program Coordinator -.Carver County Terry Guggenbuehl, planner - Dakota County Nora Schiferl, Spec. Assist.to Cty. Admin.-Anoka County Katy Boone, Planner - Metropolitan Council Chairman Dick Schieffer opened the meeting and introduced the guest speakers for the evening. Colleen Halpine, Solid Waste Planner, Pamsey County, described solid waste activities in Ramsey County. Currently Ramsey County operates nine composting sites. In 1984, 7500 cubic yards of leaves were received, and there were 9000 vehicle trips by residents to the sites. Since early May, Recycling Unlimited has discontinued providing curbside collection service of recyclables in Ramsey County. Recycling Unlimited provided this service to approximately 80% of the county residents. The discontinuation of service to Ramsey County stems from a complicated situation which involves contract non-compliance by Recycling Unlimited in providing tonnage and participation figures and financial statements to Ramsey County, and the general facility condition at the Victoria Street recycling facility. Recycling Unlimited has not provided tonnage participation or financial records since January of 1985. Recycling Unlimited has until June 13th to provide a performance bond. Ramsey County has a small staff to deal with various solid-waste-management activities and includes one half-time individual who works with public education. In April, Ramsey County produced a brochure for mass circulation promoting Recycling Unlimited's program, which has since been discontinued. Colleen pointed to the importance of mutual trust between government and contractors in providing recycling services. She indicated that the deterioration of that trust in Ramsey County led to their problems with Recycling Unlimited. Ramsey County is forming a committee to determine what alternatives the county has in continuing curbside collection services to Ramsey County residents. Ramsey County is planning to expand its composting operations and to create drop-off centers throughout the County. In addition, Pamsey County, in cooperation with Washington County and Northern States Power, will be building a 1000-ton-per-day refuse-derived fuel plan% in the city o~ Newport. It is speculated that the tipping fee at this facility will be between $25 and $35 per ton. John Leadholm stated that it aupeared that recycling is a marginal enterprise, as far as the economics of it is concerned. Dick Schieffer asked how Ramsey County's solid waste management advisory committee is proceeding. Colleen replied, stating that the committee is just getting started. Dick also asked if Ramsey County is considering organized collection as a means to establish more recycling activities. Colleen responded by stating that so far the staff has talked a lot about it, but little else has occurred. Mike Lein,' Solid Waste Coordinator ~or Carver County, was introduced. Mr. Lein stated that Carver County is the smallest metropolitan county, with a population of only 40,000. Carver County generates approximately 70 tons of refuse per day. Several years ago Carver .County conducted a market study to examine if there were any markets for a waste-to-enerqy facility. Bongaards Cheese Company was identified as such a market, and feasibility analysis indicated that the tipping fee would be approximately $50 per ton, as compared to the current $6 per ton disposal fee. In addition, t~e county conducted a survey of its residents and found that 80% were willing to double their current refuse-collection costs, in order to avoid having a landfill in the county. In addition, 70% of the respondents indicated that they recycled. Recycling activities in Carver County are limited only to a few drop-off recycling centers. Carver County also operates a composting program similar to that of Hennepin County, although they do not turn or shred their leaves. Carver County collected 100 cubic yards of leaves in 1982, 500 cubic yards in 1983, and 1500 cubic yards in 1984. Mr. Lein said that the civic groups which have established drop-off recycling centers in Carver County have provided the service for the last five or six years, and he ~eels they would like to turn over these operations to government. The difficulty in establishing curbside collection and drop-off centers in Carver County is largely attributed to transportation costs, and remoteness to markets. Carver County has hired a consultant to look at alternative methods of operating their composting program, to look into expansion of recycling, and to interview the 13 garbage ~aulers in the county. Mr. Lein's recon~endation to Hennepin County is that we should plan well, for Carver County will, in a large measure, be affected by Hennepin County's waste-abatement activities. On the issue of flow control, Mike Lein was concerned about how Hennepin's designation of solid waste will affect refuse haulers in Carver County whose routes may be in both counties. Chuck Kutter asked if there were any cost-per-ton figures on Carver County's abatement activities. Mr. Lein said that no figures were currently available. ~homas Anderson asked if Carver County was considering any cooperative activities with any other counties. Mr. Lein responded by stating that Carver County is considering working with Dakota County and, possibly, sending some of its refuse to any facilities that may be developed in that county. Dick Schieffer introduced Terry Guggenbuehl, Planner, Dakota County. M~. Guggenbuehl stated that Dakota County generates approximately 400 tons per day of refuse, and has four of the sanitary landfills in the region. Terry indicated that in the last two years interest is increasing to establish waste-abatement strategies. Currently, Dakota County is operating / composting sites in Burnsville, Eagan and Hastings, and is planning to add sites in Inver Grove Heights, West St. Paul and Farmington. Dakota County may also purchase a shredder. The county is relying on its municipalities to initiate recycling programs with county funding° Currently, there are no curbside collection programs of recyclables in Dakota County, and only a ~ew drop-off centers. Mr. Guggenbuehl stated that the county is moving toward the role of coordination of recycling programs and will be considering a county-wide curbside program in the urban areas. Dakota County has conducted a marketing survey and has determined that a refuse-derived-fuel (RDF) facility is the only alternative waste-to-energy format, since there are no other markets. A cooperative program to establish such a plant with NSP and Hennepin County is not progressing well since'the ~tro Council approved exclusions to Hennepin County's designation plan, leaving insufficient amounts of garbage for the cooperative efforts. Dakota County feels that there should be a regional effort for market development of both recyclables and RDF. Norm Schiferl, Special Assistant to the County Administrator - Anoka County, provided a presentation on low technolo~ and high technology. waste-abatement activities in Anoka County. Mr. Schiferl stated that the City of Coon Rapids established a composting program last year and the City of Centerville is planning a similar program in the near future. Columbia Heights has a curbside-collection-of- recyclables program and Fridley. is also planning such a program. In late April Anoka County established a grant program whereby the county will pay $1.25 per household to municipalities which establish a recycling program. To date, ten communities have expressed an interest in participating in this grant program. As with Dakota County, Anoka County has a preference for an RDF-type waste-to-energy facility. Anoka County has received an industrial development bond (IDB) allocation for $48 million from the state, and currently has three qualified vendors expected to submit formal proposals to build a zacility. Clarence Oster asked Mr. Schifer1 if the issue of used oil has been addressed as a disposal problem. Norm Schiferl responded that the State of Minnesota has a law which specifies that a seller of oil must provide for the disposal of used oil, or post a sign indicating where one can dispose of the used oil. A1 Balgaard stated that there are local markets for used oil but there is a need for more public education. Archie Reed stated that groundwater near some junk yards is beginning to suffer from oil dripping out of junked cars. Norm Schiferl was asked what Anoka County is doing about old tires, and he replied that they have probably the largest pile of tires in the state and there is a firm currently in the process of shredding those tires ~or use at the Mohawk Tire Company in Ohio. Mr. Schiferl also stated that the methane gas distribution system at the Anoka Landfill, although it has had some problems, is a success. ~/~is system of collecting methane from the landfill had a capital cost of $100,000. The meeting adjourned at 6:15 p.m. MSB :mvr 13th Meeting of the Hennepin County Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee (July 10, 1985) The advisory coranittee was called to order at 4:45 p.m. in Meeting Room A of the Ridgedale Library. Attending the m~e. ting were: Susan Covnick Dick Schieffer Ray Stockman John Whitman Roz Shovlin Robert DeGhetto Marilynn Corcoran Josephine D. Nunn Charles Thomson Ron Dehn Rick Person Alvin Balgaard Bob Sharlin Ron Moening Phyllis Jessen Thomas Anderson Chuck Kutter Don E. Ostensen Clarence Oster Hilmer Hartman David Klatke, Jr. Carol K. Johnson Richard J. Hlavka Dave Winter, Senior Planner - Hennepin County Mark S. Banwart, Planner - Hennepin County Paul Smith, Planner - Metropolitan Council Guest: Mary Ayde, Executive Secretary of the Minnesota Chapter of NSWMA Chairman Dick Schieffer opened the meeting and turned it over to. Marilynn Corcoran, (3mir of the Source Separation/Recycling Subcommittee. Marilynn described the amended Source Separation/Recycling Subcommittee report to the Hennepin County Solid Waste Mangement Advisory Committee (See attachmemt). Upon completion of the presentation, advisory coranittee m~mbers posed questions and made conm~nts. Dick Schieffer asked about the cost of collecting recyclables. Marilynn responded that, through the implementation of some form of organized collection, t_here ~would be a $1.00 to $1.50 savings per housing unit per month, which could cover the cost of a curbside collection program. There was a confab of discussion centered around the idea of the county establishing centralized recyclables processing centers, and the marketing of recyclables. Ron Moening stated that the aspect of storage should also be a consideration in this type of marketing proposal. Bob Sharlin c~,~_nted that once a recycling program is started it should be maintained as a basic collection service, even if at times there are no markets for the recyclables, and they may need to be landfilled or incinerated. Also, county involvement in marketing does not necessarily guarantee the success of recycling programs. There was a discussion about the need to have separate collection routes for the recyclables and for mixed refuse. Industry representatives indicated that there is a r~-~ for separate vehicles because there is a difference in the method of collection and in the destinations of the loads. Ray Stockman conm~nted that the burning of solid waste was overall a better way of handling the solid waste disposal issue. Josephine Nunn stated that recycling and burning are compatible. Phyllis Jessen mentioned that Sweden has imposed a moratoritFa on waste-to-energy plants because of possible dioxin emissions. Don Ostensen stated that burning overlooks the material resources in solid waste, and Dave Klatke stated that the r~cycling of glass and other non-flammables is by far less expensive than paying for such materials to be processed through a burning facility with little BTJ gain. Thomas Anderson chaired the remainder of the meeting. ~here was a discussion regarding market development. Dick ~lavka asked some of the industry representatives if the avoided cost from recycling would justify itself versus the expected high tipping fees which will be encountered at the waste-to-energy facilities. Alvin Balgaard stated that it seems more important to start the programs and worry about the markets after there are some successful programs in operation. It was mentioned that Hennepin County, in order to meet the Metropolitan Council objectives, will need to recycle 375 tons a day. The meeting adjourned at 6:05 p.m. Salaried Employees Lil ely To Get 5% to 7% Raises By il WALL STREET JOURNAL Staff Reporter NEW YORK-Salaried employees in the U.S. can expect annual wage creases of 5% to 7% in 1985 and 1986, with the largest gains expected in the banking industry, the Conference Board said. - ' The board, an industry-supporte~, nonprofit economic research institute; said its findings are based on a survey of 1,022 U.S. corporations. The survey fo- cused on executive, managerial and pro- fessional employees. It didn't include wages of clerical workers or those paid on an hourly basis, the board said. While those in banking can expect nual-increases of about 7%, the board said, those in insurance should see in- creases averaging 6.5%. There should be 6% increases in the manufac- turing, retailing and utility sectors and 5% increases in construction. Those gains, which average 6%, will keep em:- ployees well ahead of projected inflation rates; the U.S. consumer price index currently is rising at an annual rate'of about 3%. "Salary increases are clearly down from their earlier, inflation-driven heights and are, in fact, now at their lowest level in 10 years," said Charles Peck, a board compensation specialist. "But the continued,low rate of inflation is producing a real earnings gain for employees. It is also allowing employers to stop using salary increases as cost-o.f.- living catch-ups and to link pay to indi- vidual performance." Mr. Peck estimated that salaries'of banking executives are increasing by the greatest percentage because their. salaries have lagged those in the manu- facturing industry for some time. But, Mr. Peck said, "the gap seems to be closing."
