The Minutes of the Februa~.y 26, 1985, Regular Council Meeting
were presented for consideration. Councilmember Peterson noted
that on page 37, the first paragraph should have read "60 units"
not 30 units.

PUBLIC HEARING;
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A GAS STATION/CON-
,VENIENCE STORE AT 53XX SHORELINE BLVD. - S~,PER~
AMERICA
City Planner Mark Koegler, explained that SuperAmerica has been
42 ~
March 12, 1985
involved in a land exchange and purchase including the subject
parcel, the old Metro 500 Station and the existing SuperAmerica
Station which has resulted in the availability of the parcel at
the corner of Cypress and Shoreline Blvd. He then went over the
requirements and the recommendations that have been forwarded
from the Planning Commission.
SuperAmerica should not be required to construct a
bumper type fence between the station and the adjacent
commercial property. Such a fence seems unnecessary due
to the open nature of the site.
The exterior of the building shall contain a brick
veneer on all appropriate wall surfaces.
The Planning Commission has determined that 14 off-
street parkimg spaces are adequate to serve the needs of
the SuperAmerica station/store and that the driveways
that range from 30 to 44 feet in width are necessary to
facilitate access to and from the site.
SuperAmerica shall submit a sign permit application for
the proposed station/store prior to issuance of a
building permit.
Grading and drainage plans should be submitted to the
City Engineer for review and approval prior to issuance
of the building permit·
Landscaping plans should be submitted to the City
Planner prior to issuance of a building permit.
Access permits for the driveway entrances onto Shoreline
Blvd. shall be secured from Hennepin County·
Grading and drainage plans shall be submitted to the
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District for review and
approval.
Concrete curbing.~shall be installed around the perimeter
of all driveway and parking areas·
10.
A preliminary plat consistent with the City's
subdi'vision requirements shall be submitted and approved
prior to the issuance of a building permit.
11.
Incorporate recommendations in City Engineer's letter
dated February 6, 1985;
A more complete site plan needs to be prepared which
includes all proposed improvements such as signs,
underground storage tanks and piping, hard
surfacing, curbs, etc.

Be
Inclusion of a utility plan and its approval; plan
to show all utilities including gas, electric, etc.
C. Approval of a lighting plan.
Mr. Wm. Habicht, attorney for SuperAmerica, was present and
showed a drawing of a prototype station. He also stated that a
new site plan was submitted today and the Council has that plan.
He assured the Council that all concerns have been met or will be
met and that they want to cooperate with the City.
Steve Amick, from SuperAmerica, was present and stated that the
building outside will be panelized with brick facing.
The Mayor opened the public hearing and asked if there were any
comments for or against the proposed Conditional Use Permit.
There were none. The Mayor closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Paulsen asked when the Metro 500 Station would be
removed. Mr. Habicht answered upon approval of the Conditional
Use Permit. Oouncilmember Smith asked if that meant that the
building and tanks would be removed from the site and the site
leveled. Mr. Habicht answered yes.
Peterson moved and Paulsen seconded the following resolution:
RESOLUTION #85-28° RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A MOTOR FUEL
STATION/CONVENIENCE STORE ON PID $1B-117-
24 34 O061 AND 0064, AND PART OF 13-117-24

Paulsen moved and Peterson seconded a motion to amend the
above resolution so that in the conditions of approval,
number 5 and 6 read "shall" instead of "should" and that the
Council add a 12th condition that would read, "The tanks be
removed from the existing SuperAmerica site and a Deed
Restriction be put on that site that it cannot be a motor
fuel station in the future."
The vote on the amendment was unanimously in favor.

The Mayor introduced the subject and asked if the developers
would like to present their project.
March 12, 1985
John Adams stated they have been to the Planning Commission
twice, once in January and once in February and ~he proposal
tonight is a modification of the original plan. In the plan, he
stated, they have tried to address the concerns of the Planning
Commission and the neighborhood. They have reduced the height
from 8 stories to 6 stories, density from 126 units to 96 units,
moved the buildings away from the lake, the south building will
be 180 feet away from the lake which is 80 feet more than
required by ordinance, 100 feet from South lot line {35 feet more
than required), docks on North side of island, beach on the South
side of island. The major objective was to preserve as much of
the natural beauty of the site as possible. Only 8% of the site
is covered with buildings. They have analyzed the zoning,
density, building height, location of the docks, done a
sunlight/shadow analysis, traffic flow analysis, utility systems,
special assessment revenues, park dedication fees and tax base
proje.c~tions.
Bob Matson gave a bric? overview of the project. Project would
be done in 3 phases with phase I being the middle building, phase
2 being the Southerly building and phase B being the Northerly
building. Three, six story buildings of concrete with brick
veneer, stepping buildings back at the 6th floor approximately 10
feet and incorporating a sloped roof to the building to soften
the building masses. Very quality project with a number of
amenities, tennis courts, putting green, ponding area, pathways,
Swimming beach, docking facilities. Targeted market is empty
nesters. Proposing 2 to 1 covered parking, below the buildings.
Mr. Matson then went over some of the concerns:
1. Zoning & Density - Requesting R-1 zoning to be changed to
R-4. Site is bordered by R-l, R-2, R-3, B-3, and R-4
zoning. Showed a zoning map of the Island. Lakewinds
Condo's which abutts the property has a density of 30
units per acre. The proposed Pelican Point would be 6
units per acre or 1/5 the density of Lakewinds. The
longest building facing the lake at Lakewinds is 450 feet
long, this proposal the buildings are 224 feet long. The
proposal is I unit for every 7,000 square feet of the
site which is less than the 7 plus units that are
allowable in the.' R-2, R-3, R-4 zoning.
Building Height - He showed photos taken from the Fire
Dept.'s areial ladder truck in Lakewind's parking lot at
65 feet high. Photos show the heavy tree cover of the
site and helium filled balloons were raised in the tree
masses to 65 feet high. Cross-sections of the phases
were shown with trees and areas around the site.
Locations of the docks and beach were changed so as not
to cause problems with private neighboring docks.

done.
He showed the analysis that was
John Adams returned and reported that they tried to analyse the
traffic flow and their engineer spoke with the Hennepin County
Traffic Engineer about the affects on Wilshire, Tuxedo and County
Road 15 and they felt the generated traffic figures would not
cause any problems. He stated that the amount of traffic would
probably be less than if a 50 unit single-family subdivision were
constructed from the studies that have been done.
He further stated that in analyzing the utility systems all but
the sewer system appear to be adequate to handle the project. He
stated that the developer would pay all costs for upgrades to the
sewer system so it can handle the flows and they would be willing
to pay all reasonable costs for upgrading any of the other
utilities if needed. There would be no costs to the City for any
upgrades needed by this project.
The project would generate revenues such as special assessment
revenues at approximately $52,000; park dedication fees of
approximately $42,000 (their architectural group would work with
the neighbors in redesigning and improving the neighborhood parks
in the area); tax base projections are $664,000 per year
(schools approximately 48.3% or $321,000, city 16.74% or
$110,000). The tax base.figures were complied by the Hennepin
County Assessor's Office.
Mr. Adams related the following:
Objective is to maintain natural beauty of the site.
Feels the proposal has a proper relationship with the
majority of the other surrounding properties land uses.
The density is less than much of Island Park and Lakewinds is
5 times this proposal.
The buildings will be aesthetically appealing with gable tops
nestled in the beautiful tree canopy.
The project will not have a significant impact on the traffic
flow as determined by the Hennepin County Transportation
Dept.
The developer will absorb any costs to upgrade utilities
related to the porject.
The additional revenues in the form of special assessments,
park dedication fees, and property tax base will be an asset
to ail citizens of Mound.
Intention is to build a top quality, first class condo
project that the community can be proud of.
The Mayor asked if the Council had any questions they would'llke
to ask the developers or the staff. There were none.
The Mayor opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone
present who wished to speak for or against the proposed project.

2. Will put too many boats on Lake Minnetonka.
3. Water and sewer system will not be able to handle.
4. 3 buildings 60 feet tall will scar shoreline.

Commission's Meetings.
8. Not the best land and lakeshore use.
9. Do not want to live next door to the project.
10. Do not want R-4 zoning.
· 11. Would rather see the 26 home sites on this property that was

12. Too much automobile traffic will be generated.
13. Developers'don't care what they put in Mound.
14. The City will not get anymore taxes.

The following persons spoke in favor of the project:
1. 'Dick Putnam, 2765 Casco Point Road

2. Richard Ahmann, 2017 Arbor Lane
3. Clint Gables, 4431 Dorchester Road
4. Geoff Michael, 1713 Avocet Lane
5. Ken Smith, 2927 Cambridge Lane
Reasons given for being in favor of the project were as follows:
1. Good tax base for the City and the school district.
2. It is not spot zoning because it is next to an R-4 district.
3. Will help support businesses.
4. Will bring in a higher class of people with political clout.
5. If site were developed into R-l, R-2 or R-3, trees would
really be gone (lesser of two evils).
6. Good project for a prime piece of land (one of the last) in
Mound.
7. Would rather see this project than have the property
subdivided into small single family lots.
The Mayor closed the public hearing.
The Mayor stated he did not believe there were 4 votes on the
Council for the rezoning. For that reason he would like to table
any action on the rezoning request and refer the matter back to
the Planning Commission and Staff to look for another type of
zoning. The reason for tabling this, if the tabling is voted
for, making a second motion because he personally believes we
need to look at a new zone that deals with areas like this that
are lake and environmentally sensitive areas where the Council
has no control over ~he R-4 once the zoning is passed and trying
to place conditions on the zoning prior to rezoning would result
in a conditional zoning. In proposing this second motion for a
new zoning district, it will give the neighbors
environmentally sensitive areas a means of being protected and
will address alot of concerns that arise when development is
proposed in an area.
The Mayor further stated that as appealing as this project may
seem, he felt it must be redesigned if the developer wishes to
proceed in the City of Mound. The Council has listened to the
concerns of the peopIe present and has considered them, but by
the same token, at some point in time, that property must be
developed. The people who Own it have a right to develop it and
if they come to the City Council with a project that meets the
zoning criteria, they too must be protected equally under the law
just as the rest of the people who live in the area are.
Polston moved and Peterson seconded a motion to table the
rezoning request. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion
carried.
Polston moved and Peterson seconded a motion to refer the
matter back to the Planning Commission to see if there is a
need to develop a new R-5 Zoning District to handle
development of environmentally sensitive areas such as this
March 12, 1985
16 acres, the Lost Lake area, and any other areas in Mound
which might be considered environmentally sensitive. This
matter to be handled as expeditiously as possible b.y the
Planning Commission with public hearings and public input
from citizens who would wish to participate in the process.
The Mayor asked if any of the Council wishes to speak.
Councilmember Smith stated the following: "that I am also the
Council Representative to the Planning Commission and it was
not easy to vote no on some aspects of this project at the
Planning Commission but I did vote no twice at that level and
was prepared to vote no again tonight. When I campaigned
last Fall for the Councilseat, I favored private development,
private money developing private land in this City, and I was
worried about how this would look, but it did not make any
d~fference at all. Another concern during the campaign was
the issue of disclosure to the people (how this Council
interacts with the people of this City) and I have a problem
with tabling this and only hope that we can develop a rapport
with the people of this City by televising the Council
Meetings and thus getting information to the people. I resent
anyone coming to the Council and telling us that we have to
pass a Shoreland Management Ordinance to facilitate the
development of any private land in this City. If it is a
good ordinance, the Council will look at it and will pass it
when they are ready. I support this motion to table this
tonight with one reservation. I fully support having public
hearings to develop how the citizens want to look at this
property, being single family dwellings or multiple dwellings
or creating a new zone, but I would also like to submit this
to a referendum vote when the public hearings are over so we
have a consensus from all the citizens."
Councilmember Peterson stated that he has spent many hours on
this project, walking on Spring Park Bay taking pictures from
Casco Point to Ron Johnson's property and walking the Pelican
Point property. He has met with Ron Johnson several times
regarding this project and with the complexity of this
project would like to share his thoughts on it,
"Pelican Point is a beautiful piece of lakeshore. The
environmental affects and the aesthetics of the development
of this land is extremely important not only to Mound but to
all people' who love the lake." He had several transparencies
to present.
"It has, perhaps, the most majestic woodlands of any property
on the lake. Using unsophisticated methods, I estimate that
the tree line rises 130' above the lake, 60' higher than the
adjacent Lakewind's roof line, approximately the same height
as the 8 story Tonka Tower in Spring Park."
March 12, 1985
"The highest part of the tree line is made up of a varle%y o{
75' trees located on high ground near Tux.edo Blvd.
Surprisingly, a number of these are pine trees."
"Someone correct met, if I am wrong, but the first floor of
this plan would begin 40 to 45' above the lake. At 6
stories, the roof lines would be 65' above that or 105' to
110' above the lake. The tree line is 1BO' above the lake,
20' higher than the roof. Trees between the-building and the
lake would be from 10' shorter to 10' taller than the roof.
I believe that screening of the buildings and the building
silhouettes from the lake by trees will be far and away
better than any current 4, 5 or 8 story building on the
lake."
"I support 5 stories, a 55' height on the buildings. The
natural terrain lowers 20' at the South end of the South
building. I suggest that the design of the building on that
end be changed to reduce the height visible."
"In a letter from Kent Lokkesmoe, Regional Hydrologist of the
DNR, dated January 4, 1985, he relates that their preliminary
analysis indicates an allowable density of approximately 80
units. At 5 stores, there would be about 78 units. Density
would be about 8400 square feet per unit."
"I believ.e, with some revisions, this high quality
development i's an appropriate use of the land and that it
would preserve the natural trees, vegetation, rolling land
and shoreline better than 50 single family homes. The
buildings would be from 100' to 200' back from the lake on
the flattest land. It would provide an appropriate
transition between the 1500 square foot per unit Lakewinds
and the 6000 and 10,000 square foot R-2 and R-1 zones to the
South and Southwest."
"However, I do not support rezoning the entire property R-4.
If this project did not go forward, another developer could
make it a 3000 square foot per unit density."
"I favor developing' a new multiple dwelling zone
classification for environmentally sensitive areas such as
this which would have more restrictive density than our
present R-4. This zone could also apply to the Lost Lake
area."
Couneilmember Peterson pointed out that the owners of the
Winston Estate wanted their property developed in R-1 because
that is what is all around it. In the case of Pelican Point,
there is R-4 zoning abutting the property. I believe the
traffic problem is a legitimate one and have asked the City
Planner if he agrees with the developer on his assessment of
the traffic projections and he does.

March 12, 1985
Councilmember Paulsen read the following statememt. "I would
like to commend the de~velopers for the manner in which, they
have conducted their business in our community. They have
been honest and up-front in addressing all the issues
regarding their development. They have been in constant
communication with the City Staff and members of the Council,
answering all questions asked of them in a forthright manner.
There have been many issues that have been dealt with and
some ongoing problems that are currently being addressed.
However, the most dominant issue is the building height.
This issue has been addressed by many citizens very candidly
in meetings and letters to the editor and in person to
members of the Council. All of the opinions concerning the
building height, at least those expressed to me, were very
'subjective. This Council, however, when voting on an issue
m.ust use objective criteria. For example: 1) Will the
building interfer with the property rights of the neighbors
sightlines, shadowing, etc.? 2) Will the health, safety and
welfare of the neighbors and the inhabitants of the buildings
be put in jeopardy? I believe these questions have been
answered satisfactorily. I support the project as it has
been presented."
Councilmember Jessen stated. "It seems that we have to
choose sides..on the issue of the best use of this remaining
undeveloped lake area in our community. This is a very
difficult decision for the Council to make. It boils down to
pitting concerns for the lake area against concerns for the
city. I like the idea of this multiple housing concept for
Pelican Point. Since it is extending an already existing R-4
and is surrounded by B-B, R-B, R-1 and R-2, it could be done
here. It is not spot zoning. It is an extension of R-4. It
is the only place in the City that we can do that. Many
issues come forward here so lets look at those:
- the escalated values on lakeshore
- increased revenue for our City
- increased business for our community
- a feeIing of progress for our community
- a certain prestige for our community's image (this
development especial~ly is offering us that)
but, mostly what it does is make available an alternative type of
housing on the lake to meet today's needs. We already, in the
City of Mound, offer more single family housing than any other
community on.~this lake and I am as proud of that as are you.
But, there is a need for a different type of housing now. Our
population is changing. We refer to our schools dropping
enrollment, our schools are closing because the children are not
there. The average family (4 family members) is not the
majority, it is the minority. Empty nesters also want to live on
the lake and not have to take care of a big home. They need
alternative housing like condos. We should address this with our
zoning and we are talking about possibly a different zoning and I
would support that as well as the Shoreland Management Ordinance
51
March 12, 1985
which I would like to see in place."
The Mayor then thanked the developers for their cooperation and
their professional presentation.
Mr. Powell thanked the City for their cooperation and
consideration.
The Mayor restated the original motion.
Smith moved to amend Mayor Polston's original motion as
presented above setting specific dates be set for additional
public hearings to extend not more than 60 days and followed
by submission to the public on a referendum vote. Motion
died for lack of second.
The vote in the original motion was unanimously in favor·
Motion carried.
Several people objected to the Council not denying the project
outright. The Mayor explained that because of the concerns
expressed here tonight on the environmental sensitivity of the
area, it could be felt by some that the R-4 or R-1 zoning is not
restrictive enough in order to protect the area. It could be
felt by some that there should be other amendments in the zoning
that should be looked at for these environmentally sensitive
areas. The Council could have denied the zoning but a motion was
not made to do that.
The Mayor further stated that the reason he knew there were not
enought votes for the rezoning was because he too was opposed to
the rezoning from R-1 to R-4. His reason, because any developer
could build a building for each 3,000 square feet of land area in
the R-4 zone. He stated he feit that was not restrictive enough
in R-4 or multi-family within that zone especially in an
environmentally sensitive area.
Councilmember Smith stated that it is his understanding the it
takes 4/5 vote for a rezoning and he suggested that any project
that comes back better take a look at single family dwellings on
this property or his vote would be lacking.
~ONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING ON NEW SIGN ORDINANCE
The City Manager explained that this item was continued from the
January 8, 1985, Meeting because some revisions were requested.
Those revisions included:
Permits will not be required for existing signs. Staff
will compile a photographic record of all signage upon
adoption of the ordinance. The photographic record will
serve as a base in establishing "grandfather" situations.
52
March 12, 1985
2. Sign identification tags will not be placed ~n signs.
Maximum window a~ea signage has been increased from 25
percent to 50 percent·
The area of jurisdiction on window wisngs has been
reduced from 15 feet to ? feet.
Temporary banners for grand openings and special
occasions will be allowed for up to 30 days instead of 14
days.
Campaign signs have been removed from the sign ordinance
and will be regulated under a separate ordinance.
The ~ayor reopened the public hearing and asked if there was
anyone present who wished to speak for or against the proposed
sign ordinance. No one responded· The Mayor closed the public
hearing.
The City Manager presented a letter from Don Ulrick, Director of
Community Services, School District #277, requesting that an item
(g) be added to section 3.10 to read as follows: "In the
instance of a multi-use facility, only one seasional sign man be
placed (displayed) on the premises at any one time". The Council
agreed this was a good point·
The City Planner stated that there was a typographical error in
Section 4.15, (2), it should have read "twenty-five feet in
height", not "fifteen feet in height".
Peterson moved and Paulsen seconded the ordinance:
ORDINANCE ~473
AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING SECTION 55.38 RELATING
TO SIGNS
Councilmember Smith asked if the Penalty Section, 1.09,
containing the fine amount of $500.00 was enough. The City
Attorney stated that by Statute a misdemeanor now carries a
fine of $700.00. He also suggested that the Council repeal
the old Section 55.38.
Jessen moved and Paulsen seconded a motion to amend the
original motion including the new fine of $700.00 in Section
1.09 and repealing the old Section 55.38. The vote was
unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
The vote on the original motion including the amendment was
unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
Councilmember Smith questioned Section 3.01 which reads: "No
sign other than governmental unit signs shall be erected or
placed upon any public way or upon public easements", in relation
53
March 12, 1985
to campaign signs. The City Manager pointed out that this
ordinance is dealing with commercial signs only and the the

OILER QUOTATIONS

oiler %o fill the cracks in the City streets before they are seal
coated. They have in the past borrowed one but it is always
needed at the same time the City who owns it needs it. Geno has
obtained 2 quotations. This is a machine that could easily last
20 to 25 years, because it won't be used that much. He had this
budgeted last year and figured the Liquor Fund which pays for the
seal coating of the streets could fund this item. The quotes

RESOLUTION ORDERING ABATEMENT OF 1721 DOVE LANE
The City Manager explained that this resolution was prepared by
the City Attorney pursuant to the Council's request. Mr. Coddon
was present and asked that this resolution be tabled until June
1, 1985, when he would have the normal maintenance on the house
completed. He. would not do anything structural until after that
date. He went over items from an earlier dated memo from Jan
that he would be willing to fix as normal maintenance. He stated
that he has been cooperative and felt that certain sections of
the Zoning Ordinance would allow him to do the following normal
maintenance on~ this P. roperty.
1. He would have a plumber come in with all new plumbing
connections.
2. He would have a licensed electrical contractor rewire
with 100 amp service. ·
3. He would have a plumber install all new fixtures and
replace the bathroom floor.
4. He would have the gas company remove and replace the gas
valves and anchors, and replace those fixtures.
5. He would replace the roof and ceiling.
6. He would replace ceiling tiles as needed.
This would all be completed by June 1, 1985.
Councilmember Paulsen asked if all the things Mr. Coddon
mentioned were normal maintenance. The Building Inspector stated
that the way Mr. Coddon is proposing to do this is not the normal
way to repair a building. She further stated that generally the
structural problems are dealt with first and then the
maintenance, but that it appears Mr. Coddon is trying to get the
value up so that he can get approval to do the structural repairs
after doing what he has stated above.
The Mayor asked the City Attorney is what Mr. Coddon purposes is
legal under the ordinance. The City Attorney stated it sounds
like the value of the repairs will be more than 1/2 of the value
of the building. The Mayor asked the Building Inspector what the
house is valued at. She stated, according to the Tax Books
$100.00.

setback variance to the north street front at Pike Road and to

foot setback to property lines on corner lots in the R-2 zoning
district under section 23.408 (5).

the storage and screening of the area. They then discussed the
storing of business equipment on residential property. The

DATE~ March 6, 1985
SUBJECT: Captain Billy's Restaurant ~ Conditional Use Permit and Parking
Variance
CASE NO. 85-411 and 85-412
APPLICANT: Mr. William Alexander
Lfk?ATION: 5241 S~oreline Boulevard
EXISTING ZONING: Central Business (B-1)
~SIVE PLAN: Commercial
PROPOSAL: William Alexander is requesting conditional use permit approval to
construct a Class 3 restaurant adjacent to the new Mound Super Valu.
Additionally, the applicant is seeking a parking variance. Class 3
restaurants are defined as "liquor service restaurants where food and
intoxicating liquors are served and consumed by customers while seated at a
counter or table and/or restaurants which contain entertainment, either live
or prerecorded. Food sales in such facilities shall account for a minimum of
50 percent o~ a restaurant's gross receipts on an annual basis."
ISSUES: This report will Specifically focus on zoning and land use related
issues. The Mound Police Department is preparing a report on the background
of the applicants and other information required under the city's liquor
licensing provisions.
From a land use and zoning perspective, the proposal generates two significant
issues: land use and parking requirements. Liquor establishments are
required to obtain conditional use permits in order for the city to review the
locatic~ of a proposal relative to surrounding land uses. Captain Billy's
restaurant is located within the B-1 district and is surrounded by B-1 zoned
parcels. The entrance, parking and public focus of the restaurant is to the
north along Shoreline Boulevard.
City Council and Staff
Page Two
March 6, 1985
South of the restaurant along Eden Road, the city recent/y approved eight
residential townhouse units. Since Captain Billy's will not have a. public
entrance along Eden Road, the approval of the restaurant as a liquor
establishment is not expected to increase the impact on the townhouse site.
The loc~tion of the shopping center and the rear entrance situation along Eden
Road were conditions in existence at the time the townhouse units were
proposed and approved.
The second major issue concerns parking. The following chart depicts the
parking requirements for the entire shopping center.
Use Square Footage Standard Spaces
Salon 1,050 ' i per 150 7
Office 1,050 1 per 400 3
Captain Billy's 5,570 1 per 3 seats 52
Super Valu 17,600 1 per 150 117
Liquor Store 2,430 1 per 150 16
Total Parking Required
195
Plans for Captain Billy's indicate a total seating capacity of 125 which
results in a parking requirement of 42 spaces. The applicant has failed to
note, however, that the proposal contains a bsnquet room which, according to
staff estimates, 'may seat an additional 32 people. The addition of the
banquet room establishe§ 53 as the parking requirement for Captain Billy' s.
The shopping center contains 158 spaces which is 37 stalls short of the
required 195 spaces.
The 37 stall parking deficiency is directly attributable to the expansi°n 'of
the new Super Valu store which did not require site plan review by the city
and the installation of a restaurant (Captain Billy's) instead of using the
space for retail purposes. These two events result in a parking increase of
44 spaces (29 for Super Valu and 15 for Captain Billy's). Super Valu and
Captain Billy's lease space from the owner of the shopping center, Mr. Mark
Saliterman. In addition to the existing shopping center, Mr. Saliterman owns
the vacant parcel immediately east of the site. This area is currently used
as a cut through to Hardee's and for overflow parking. The use of the vacant
property to the east for overflow parking permits the shopping center to meet
the city's parking requirements. Since adequate overflow parking exists,
approval of the parking variance seems reasonable.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit and
parking variance for Captain Billy's restaurant. The owner, Mr. Saliterman,
should note that a portion of the adjacent'vacant lot equivalent to 37 spaces
of overflow parking is being considered as a part of the existing center.
This action will result in ].ess available parking area for the future
development of the vacant parcel which will result in less buildable area.
CONDITIONAL USE IMPACT STATEMENT
The intention of this impact statement is to briefly, but
comprehensively review the impacts and benefits of Captain
Billy's, Inc. to the residents and business community of
~i-~ -~'-~.Mound. -
The principles of Captain Billy's, Inc. wish to provide a
moderately priced restaurant, lounge and entertainment area,
and banquet and meeting facilities. All of which have a
positive impact to the success and well being of the business
and residential community. The most significant benefits are:
* employment to the community
* additional .Tevenue to the city government,
i.e., increase in tax base and license fee
* attracting new residents and businesses to
the city
* a place for residents to socialize to include
live entertainment, special events and sports
sponsorship.
In deciding the location of this facility the only practical
place in Mound for an undertaking of this magnitude was the
Mound Shopping Center. It provides for the largest parking
area in the city with reasonable distance from residential homes.
It also provides that the majority of traffic entering the
premises will not pass through residential neighborhoods. Most
traffic will be using Shoreline Boulevard. Other considerat'ion
to this choice of location was the complement of other com-
mercial business in and surrounding the Center. It should be
recognized that only the front facing Shoreline Boulevard
will be used as the public entrance and exit to the, premises.
This eliminates any disturbanCe to residents on the south side
of the premises.
We feel it important for the City of Mound to recognize that
Captain Billy's, Inc. will have no absentee owners. All
owners are residents of the Lake Minnetonka area. Each will
be involved in the day-to-day operation of the facility, this
in itself lends to better cooperation with the City Govern-
ment, Rolice and the community as a wHOle. The principles
of C~ptain Billy's, Inc. wish to cooperate with any reason-
able request in regards to the safety and well being of the
community.
In conclusion, the principles wish to express a firm commit-
ment in building and operating a facility such as this that
will cater to all the residents of Mound. Further, we offer
any support needed to build and maintain a strong business
community.

BOARD OF'APPEALS
i. Case Numbers 85-411 & 85-412 Public Hearing on Conditional Use Permit for a
Class 3 Restaurant and Parking Variance for 5241 Shoreline Boulevard
Lots 7 thru 35 inclusive, including adj. ½ of alley vacated and adj. vacated
park & parking area, Block 1, Shirley Hills Unit F, PID 13-117-24 34 0069/0070
Applicant William Alexander was present.
The Building Official reviewed Mr. Alexander's request for a Conditional Use
Permit for a Class 3 restaurant adjacent to the new Stevens' Market, Class 3
restaurant is.def'ined as "liquor s~rvice restaurants where food and intoxicating
liquors are served an~'consumed by customers while seated at a counter or table
and/or restaurants which contain entertainment, either live or prerecorded".
Under the licensing provisions, food sales shall account for a minimum of 50 per-
cent of the gross receipts on an annual basis, The Police Department have. con-
ducted a background report on the applicant. Land use and parking requirements
are the two significant issues with Captain Billy's Restaurant, Area around is
all zoned B-l, A month or so ago, a townhouse development was approved to the
south of the restaurant on Eden Road for Mr, Schlee. Since there are no public
entrances on that side, it was felt there would be minimum impact, Mr, Alexander
is going to be screening a dumpster and have some type of shaded lighting, The
other concern is w~th parking and she reviewed the Planner's report on parking
which shows the shopping center having ]58 spaces which is 37 stalls short of the
required 195 spaces, The deficiency is due to the expansion of Stevens' Market
and the installation of the'restaurant instead of retail use. Mr, Sa]iterman
owns additional property to the east which wi]] be combined with this property;
this would allow space for overflow parking, The Building Official had asked
the applicant about signage for this site; they are going to change the facade
so he's not prepared for signage at this time. Staff is recommending condition-
al use permit be approved and the parking variance granted and development done
on the basis that the east lot is being considered part of the existing center
for parking,
Weiland stated we could require the east lot be brought up to parking standards.
Bertrand mentioned that no hours of operation were included in the infbrmation.
Planning Commission Minutes
March. 11, 1985 - Page 2
Bill Alexander introduced his two associates, Brian Schultz and Todd Rask.
He mentioned that his motive for opening a restaurant was that there are very i
few places around to eat. He has looked at several buildings and sites;
finally decided on this site because here they would have the most parking
and it was the farthest removed from all other types of traffic. Basically,
concept is for a new eating, drinking establishment with some entertainment.
It is not their goal to conduct a business that is loud or rowdy. The princi-
pals involved are going to work in the place; all are residents of the area.
He thinks this will be a positive thing for the community in terms of jobs,
taxes, everything.
The Chair opened the public hearing and the following persons made comments
or asked questions:
CAROL KRUSE objected that there was not enough notice of the meeting. She's
opposed to putting hard liquor in' that center; feels there is enough noise
from Hardee's right now. She is opposed to the live music. Mentioned a good
restaurant with wine and beer would be all right.
HARLYN CRAWFORD stated he didn't hear anything about hours or Sunday liquor.
With the big supermarket, he thinks there is going to be a conflict of parking
and it will cause problems; he asked if they will provide security.
Alexander responded that they do not feel they'll have a problem. Mentioned
that 83% of shopping is done before 8 o'clock in the evening with the peak time
being about 6. They anticipate dinner service will be more between 7:30 and
9:30 P.M.
MARK HUTTNER asked who received notices and how that was determined.
GLORIA BRIGGS asked where exits out of parking lot were going to be; concerned
that traffic will be coming out onto Hiddenvale. Response was that plan Shows
no exits at all onto Hiddenvale (no change in exits).
There bei. ng no more questions/comments, the Chair c)osed the pub)ic hearing.
The Planning Commission had various questions and comments such as: What type
of foods will be served? what age group and type of people you will be catering
to? the use of pool tables was questioned? theme of decor, nautical? security?
Alexander stated they plan a seafood entree, some Italian, some French, some
traditional, etc. In a town the size of Mound, you really have to be family
oriented. They will have a senior citizen's discount, a children's discount;
have separate diningroom from the bar, have take out window--really want to have
something for. everybody--might say, type of food will be home made American food.
The age group will probably be 30 to 50. The approach they are taking on the
pool tables is totally different from the back room pool halls. Trying to do
something for the community--a place to go and something to do. Pool tables
are recreational. They plan on having 4 tournaments a year with players from
all over State of Minnesota. The theme, Captain Billy's, primarily is for the
submarine Sandwich they're specializing in (to go--for fishermen, etc..) Also
will have picnic baskets. Alexander noted the name is not associated with any
other Captain Billy's. It will take a minimum of 25 to operate place if it is
Pla'nning Commission Minutes
March 11, 1985 - Page 3
moderately successful--possibly up to 50. He noted this will be a training
facility for submarine type sandwich shops they'll be opening. He mentioned
trend across the country is toward deli sandwiches. They'll probably be about
30% of their business.
The Chair asked about the take out window. Alexander described the layout of
the restaurant including that there is a vestibule with the take out window for
people (underage, etc.) to pick up food orders without entering the bar or dininm-
room. The type and frequency of entertainment was questioned. Alexander state~
twice or possibly three nights a week, they'd bring in a group of two or three;
they will probably rotate style of music. As for security, he stated it's tough
to plan for security without being open. If there is a noise problem, they are
willing to cooperate; it's not their goal to offend the neighborhood. No neigh-
bors within 600 feet and the walls are 9 inches thick and have 4 layers of'sheetrock.
The City Manager reported the Pol. ice invest~gat, ion is complete and they came
thru with flying colors.
WeiTand stated he'd like to tie something down on the additional 37 parking
spaces. This was discussed briefly and the Commissioners seemed satisfied that
the lot was available for overflow parking.
Ken Smith moved and Byrnes seconded a motion to recommend approval of the
Conditional Use Permit with the recommendations of the staff. The vote was
unanimously in favor.
The Council will be asked to set the pub]it hearing for April 9th. ,

Case Number -413 Public Hearing on Conditional Use Permit for 3 Zero Lot Line
Twinhomes in the 4700 Block on Manchester. Lots 4,5,28 & 29; Lots 6,7,26 & 27;
and Lots 8,9,24 & 25; Block 9, Wychwood PID Numbers 19-117-23 32 0087/0088/0089
Harvey Reder and Eugene Schlee were present.
The Building Official reviewed the requests of the applicants that these prop-
erties have 3 zero lot line twinhomes on the 12 lots. The R-3 Zoning District
Provisions allow zero lot llne twinhomes by conditional use permit approval with
conditions listed in Section 23.610.3 of the Code. The City as-built drawings
for the stub-ins indicate Lots 5 and 8 do not have services. The lots back onto
Cumberland and the applicants are intending to bring in the water lines off the
Cumberland side. The Manchester side of property is 25 feet lower than Cumber-
land. The staff recommends, approval with the guidelines on pages 34, 34A and 35
of the City Code plus a cou'ple of other items they are recommending:
I. The applicant will not be required to file a subdivision plat.
2. The appl'icant is to have a registered land surveyor place the structure and
division wall on a registered land survey after the construction of the
foundation is completed.
3. Separate utilities for Lots 5 and 8 will be provided from the mains for sewer
and water.
4. Soil reports are to be submitted with building permit plans.
In addition, the Building Official added Item 5:
5. Minimum escrow fund of $250 be provided to cover any legal and engineering
expenses the City may incur for the review of the covenants, etc. (if not
used, the remainder will be refunded).

Dear Mr. Alexander:
I made a construction inspection at your bar/restaurant on April 2, 1985.
bar, as presently constructed, has a number of deficiencies which shall be
corrected prior to opening for business:
The
1. The construction of the back bar is unacceptable. The cabinets are
constructed on an unsealed enclosed base which provides insect and rodent
harborages..The interior of the cabi. nets is of unfinished hardboard, plywood
paneling, and unfinished wood. The surfaces are not smooth and cleanable,
rendering them unfit for storing food products, beverages, glassware, or single
service food containers. Reconstruct to meet National Sanitation Foundation
(NSF) standards by covering all interior surfaces with laminated plastic, and
satisfactorily sealing the base to preclude entry of insects and rodents.
.2. The underside of the bar is unfinished wood. Finish to be smooth,
non-absorbent, and easily cleanable.
3. Install the bottle beer cooler on casters. Blocks are not acceptable.
4. The keg beer cooler shall be sealed in place, if mounted directly on
the floor.
5. All beer coolers and cocktail stations shall be plumbed to code with
indirect waste lines (air gapped to floor drains).
6. Beverage l~ne conduits shall be sealed to preclude entry of insects
and rodents.
7. Carbon dioxide tanks shall be firmly secured to prevent tipping.
8. The antique gas stove shall be removed from the back bar. Its use as a
decoration in the area is not permitted.
HENNEPIN COUNTY ',.
9. If food is to be prepared in the Dar area, a convenient handwashing
sink supplied with hot and cold running water, soap, single use towels, and a
nailbrush shall be provic~ed in the bar.
10. Seventy (70) food candles of light shall be provided over the food
preparation surfaces:
The kitchen is not completed. Work remaining to be done includes:
1. Provide a smooth, non-absorbent, light colored finish for the ceilings
which is presently damaged by water leaks.
2. Provide 70 foot candles of light for all the food preparation/utensil
cleansing surfaces. All lighting fixtures shall be shielded.
3. Install all equipment, including vegetable preparation sink, prior to
opening. The range is not to be installed until the hood is installed in
accordance with all state and local codes.
4. The food storage room walls shall be finished with a minimum finish of
enamel painted gypsum board. The floor shall have a minimum finish of vinyl
asbestos tile, with a vinyl coved base. The ceiling shall be smooth and light
colored. Lighting (20 foot candle minimum) shall be enclosed.
5. Exterqor~ doors to the es'tablishment shall have self-closing devices.
6. Toilet room exhaust fan switches on the fan grilles are not acceptable.
It is a requirement that exhaust fans operate at all times that the toilet
room is in use. The usual way it is done is to wire the fan and the lights to
a single switch so that when the light is one, the f~n is on.
Licenses to operate the establishment will not be issued until all requirements
of the Health Department are met, and an occupancy permit is issued by the City
of ~qound.
If you have any questions, please call me at 935-1544.

moderately successful--possibly up to 50. He noted this will be a training
facility for submarine type sandwich shops they'll be opening. He mentioned
trend across the country is toward deli sandwiches. They'll probably be about
30% of their business.
The Chair asked about the take out window. Alexander described the layout of
the restaurant including that there is a vestibule with the take out window for
people (underage, etc.) to pick up food orders without entering the bar or dlninm-
room. The type and frequency of entertainment was questioned. Alexander state~
twice or possibly three nights a week, they'd bring in a group of two or three;
they will probably rotate style of music. As for security, he stated it's tough
to plan for security without being open. If there is a noise problem, they are
willing to cooperate; it's not their goal to offend the neighborhood. No neigh-
bors within 600 feet and the walls are 9 inches thick and have 4 layers of sheetrock.
The City Manager reported the Police investi-gat'ion is complete and they came
thru with flying colors.
Weiland stated he'd like to tie something dOwn on the additional 37 parking
spaces. This was discussed briefly and the Commissioners seemed satisfied that
the lot was available for overflow parking.
Ken Smith moved and Byrnes seconded a motion to recommend approval of the
Conditional Use Permit with the recommendations of the staff. The vote was
unanimously in favor.
The Council will be asked to set the public hearing for April 9th. '
ase Number 85-413 Pul~lic Hearing on Conditional Use Permit for 3 Zero Lot Line

Harvey Reder and Eugene Schlee were present. '.
The Building Official reviewed the requests of the applicants that these prop-
erties have 3 zero lot line twinhomes on the 12 lots. The R-3 Zoning District
Provisions allow zero lot line twinhomes by conditional use permit approval with
conditions listed in Section 23.610.3 of the Code. The City as-built drawings
for the stub-ins indicate Lots 5 and 8 do not have services. The lots back onto
Cumberland and the applicants are intending to bring in the water lines off the
Cumberland side. The Manchester side of property is 25 feet lower than Cumber-
land. The staff recommends approval with the guidelines on pages 34, 34A and 35
of the City Code plus a couple of other items they are recommending:
1. The applicant will not be required to file a subdivision plat.
2. The applicant is to have a registered land surveyor place the structure and
division.wall on a registered land survey after the construction of the
foundation is completed.
3. Separate utilities for Lots 5 and 8 will be provided from the mains for sewer
and water.
4. Soil reports are to be submitted with building permit plans.
In addition, the Building Official added item 5:
5. Minimum escrow fund of $250 be provided to cover any legal and engineering
expenses the City may incur for the review of the covenants, etc. (if not
used, the remainder will be refunded).
Planning Commission Minutes
March Il, 1985 - Page 4
The Chair then opened the public hearing.
JAN MC MILLAN asked if soil tests had been done; believes some coKrections
will be n~eded. Also asked when land was rezoned to R-3 and did not under-
stand the zero lot line for twinhomes.
Harvey Reder drew the plat on the blackboard and showed how the buildings
would be placed. He commented that twinhomes have to conform to all setbacks-
the same as duplexes.
KEN STORKE stated that last summer, a hole was dug in one of the 10ts and by
the afternoon, they had a swimming pool. Concerned that twinhomes will be
rented out and become run down.
JOHN CLAE$SENS thanked the Plannlng Commission for sending notices out; but
concerned about all the vegetation being removed and that his house will move
fo~ lack of vegetation.
STORKE asked if twinhomes for rent or for sale. Schlee stated "for sale"
Reder stated that is reason for putting in twinhomes rather than rental
duplexes; owners are usually more responsible in keeping up their homes.
MC MILLAN asked about parking. There are double garage on all units.
CLA£SSEN$ asked, about density; feels there is not enough water pressure now.
The City Manager stated that the water pressure can be increased and the
City should be called if there is a problem.
The Chair closed the public hearing.
Michael moved'and Reese seconded a motion to recommend approval of the
Conditional Use Permit for the Twinhomes requested with the staff's recom-
mendations including Item 5. The vote was unanimously in favor.
The Council will be asked to set the public hearing for April 9th.
MIS Report - Community Maintenance-and Appearance codes
The City Manager sent this handout to the Commission and asked for some feedback.
He didn't think the Council would have a lot of interest in doing something in
this area unless they got some support from the Planning Commission. He asked,
"what role should City take on housing questions?" Various cases and issues were
discussed at length.
Chair asked, "if you set up standards, who is going to enforce?" Michael thought
we need to get involved at some point in time; the rental thing is getting un-
believable.
After more discussion, the City Manager concluded that he would work on .this some-
more and try to come up with a better scheme.

City Council
Proposal:
To continue to make low interest loan funds available
for any business moving into Tonka as well as downtown.
i.e. 01d Bank Bldg., Snyder's, Super Valu, or Old
SuperAmerica site.
Since these are loan funds, they continue to recycle
themselves in this fund, thus another $5,000 - $6,000
should be available in addition to the $25,000 added
to the fund from this year's Block Grant allocation.
IV.
DOWNTOWN COMMERCIAL REHAB. DESIGN GRANTS:
Past Expenditures:
$4,050.
2,500
A small fund used to assist up to $750 or 50% of the cost
for professional storefront design services. It has helped
a number of businesses get special design assistance where
they otherwise might not have, thus beautifying downtown.
It also has helped downtown capture the themes outlined in
the original downtown study report sponsored by the Downtown
Advisory Committee in 1981-82.
Vo
COMMERCIAL FIX-UP/PAINT-UP GRANTS:
Provides grants 'up to $500 for projects which spend up
to $2,000 to do minor repairs to their exteriors. A
very popular program. Often used in conjunction with
other projects.

VI.
TONKA BUILDING INCUBATOR DESIGN:
A new small economic project for 1985-86 to assist
new businesses that are just starting out to set-up

Dear City Council,
We are seeking approval of 10% of the Year Eleven Block Grant monies to purchase a
private passenger van equipped with a handicapped lift to provide medical transportation
for the elderly, handicapped, and others from homes, senior citizen apartments, senior day
care, etc. The monies needed for the day to day operation of the service will come from
resources through Westonka RIDES.
Westonka RIDES is the new service currently serving seniors and non-seniors having no
other source of transportation by utilizing private vehicles with volunteer drivers and a
large 20 passenger vehicle recently purchased by the Lions-Rotary-Seniors partnership.
There is significant data in the latest Metro Council research that identified the high
priority for transportation services to the seniors and others. This transportation problem
is expected to escalate in years to come with increasing life expectancy.
We submit that during the past year we have assisted 443 unduplicated seniors in our
community and specifically 234 in your city.
Senior population figures for each of the communities listed below with the amount that
10% of each city's funds would total.

St. Bonifacius 107 8,397 850
Minnetrista 298 23,851 2,385
We have been in contact with Mr. Larry Blackstad about the legality of this concept, he
has responded with the information that is legal, eligible, and fundable out of your year
11, Community Development Block Grant monies. Mr. Blackstad indicated that the
guidelines identify 15% of your funds for service related equipment purchase.
We are requesting an amount that is 10% of your funds. Our vehicle cost seem to be in
-2-
excess of $15,000 up to $20,000. We will be able to spend only the amount you agree to,
but if you have more than 10% available please share your resources in this endeavor.
This request is for one-time funding of this equipment and does not include the cost of
operating the vehicle.
Our new 20-passenger vehicle will indeed help our transportation problem but,
unfortunately, it will not be able to serve the day-to-day medical appointments. For
example, therapy often takes weeks of daily transportation to distant medical facilities.
With a smaller van, we will be able to coordinate with the clinics and hospitals for block
time and take several people with one trip. With the average cost of $120 for a
wheelchair-equipped medi-van it is needless for us to point out the value of having one
locally.
We believe we can keep the service at a modest level through the use of volunteer drivers,
capital equipment costs through the cities, and rider donations. No one will be denied
service because they cannot donate. Our experience is that seniors want to retain their
independence by paying their own way. Our donations level by senior riders in the other
donation-based transportation services are highest in the Metropolitan area.
This service is not to replace an ambulance, will not be equipped as an emergency vehicle.
It is to serve those without transportation who are capable of riding in a van.

Doc Meier

Re:

Dear Jon:
Under separate cover I am enclosing the lot division request of
Balboa Minnesota Co. and the necessary copies of drawing and survey
to Jan Bertrand.
In connection with the same, it was our discussion that these docu-
ments would be distributed to the planning commission in advance of
their meeting scheduled for April 8, 1985. The planning commission
will consider and, if all goes well, approve the proposed lot division.
Assuming the approval by the planning commission, which I under-
stand to be extremely probable, the matter will be submitted for appro-
val at the council hearing on June 9, 1985. It is also my under-
standing that although it was everyone's in~ention to informally
expedite the division to accommodate all parties, it is nonetheless
procedurally necessary to require the submission of the application
to the planning commission for their review and approval and the ulti-
mate approval by the Council.
My clients have requested that a closing occur prior to the final
City approval on the lot division and since a deed cannot be filed
until the resolution approving the lot division has been obtained from
the Council, we have contacted Chicago Title Insurance Company and
Mr. Harry Barnes in connection with the closing.
Mr. Barnes has indicated a willingness to schedule a closing,
however, would appreciate receiving from you a letter which indicates
that the lot division approval is forthcoming, that there are no
obstacles, to your knowledge, which would hinder the final approval
by the planning commission subject to payment of certain fees and that
the City is not requiring the formal replat of the property.
Mr. Elam

March 19, 1985
It would be a great assistance to myself and my clients to have
you forward to Harry Barnes at Chicago Title Insurance Company, 4820
West 77th Street, Edina, MN 55435, a letter which indicates the fore-
going and further indicates that because the City considers the matter
to have been discussed but for the procedural formality, they are
waiving the requirement for public hearing and notification to adjoin-
ing land owners in connection with this replat.
Thank you in advance for kind consideration and assistance in this
matter.
Sincerely yours,
GUSTAFSON & ADAMS, P.A.

Dear Oan:
As requested we have reviewed the latest plans submitted for the new Super
America station and have the following comments and recommendations. We have
also reviewed a sketch and proposed legal description submitted along with a
letter requesting a lot division in lieu of a replat. As stated in our
telephone conversation of March 19, 1985 we recommend that Super America be
allowed to proceed with a lot division and waive the platting requirement and
the public hearing. At the same time we would recommend that the City retain
the following requirements that would normally be part of the platting
procedure.
Escrow fund to cover the City's expense of plan review attorney's
fees, etc.
Development bond sufficient to cover site improvements should be
required.
Park dedication fee. The amount of this fee should be 10~ of the
assessed value of the new.parcel being created. This amount will have
to be determined after the newly created parcel is assessed. As per Kerm
Benson, April 1, 1985, value: $70,400.00.~_,~ ..
Site Plan
New concrete curb and gutter (B6-18) will need to be installed at the
location of the existing entrance to Cypress Lane.
The new proposed entrance from Cypress Lane shall be completely
constructed new including the area of the existing sidewalk with 5"
reinforced concrete the same as the entrances shown to Shoreline
Boulevard.
Details should be submitted for the interior concrete curb and gutter
and a typical section of the deep strength bituminous.

'Utilities
We have researched the utility as-bui-lts available in our office with the
following results.
l)
An existing sanitary sewer service appears to be available for
connection on either street, Shoreline Boulevard or Cypress Lane.
2)
Our as-builts do no~ show any existing water service from either
main. Further investigation should be made with Rublic Works and if
indeed no service exists, details for a new connection should be
worked out with them.
Agency Permits
Our files do not indicate that any application was made or approval
received from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. We assume this will
be necessary since the storm sewer being constructed, connects to a main
which runs directly to Lake Minnetonka via Lost Lake.
Entrance permits will also be required from Hennepin County for access to
Shoreline Boulevard. Any other permits such as State Fire Marshall
approval, Health Department approval, etc., shall be the responsibility of
Super America and copies of such approvals submitted to the City of Mound.

April 3, 1985
Dear Honorable Mayor Polston and Mound City Council Members:
Mr. Beermann, owner of Beermann Services (Inver Grove Heights) submitted
a bid to the City of Mound to collect recyclable materials from the
Highlands area, His charge would be $300.00 per month, and an
additional $35.00 per month for providing a drop-off site once a month,
An analysis of Beermann Services' financial statement reveals a
financially sound company. In addition to collection of recyclable
materials Beermann Services also collects garbage from various areas
of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The garbage collection income off~ets
the non-profit hauling of recyclable materials. Beermann Services has
been in business for 25 continuous years°
The Recycling Advisory Committee, under the guidance of Sharon Legg,
Finance Director, recommends Beermann Services to enter into a contract
with the City of Mound .for the purpose of recyclable materials collection
in the Highlands area. Collection would begin Friday, May 3, 1985 and to
continue collection the first Friday of every month through September 1985.
Beermann Services was the only bid received by t~e City of Mound.
Sincerely,
Recycling Advisory Committee:

RECYCLING ADVISORY COMMITTEE PROPOSAL FOR
CURBSIDE RECYCLING PROGRAM

Why recycle? Due to the short supply of raw materials, high energy
and capital costs for processing mat~-~ls, and high environmental
costs in materials production and d'
economic and environmental necessit'
reduces water and air Pollution, re
of garbage, p'rogides materials for

and
progress to mandatory programs. The Minnesota oL ..... . lature
showed little interest for mandating recycllng programs this year
(1985), however, recycling programs may be mandatory by 1988 for
Minnesota munlclpalltles.
Il.
Pilot Program
Beginning a curbslde recycling program (voluntary) in a pilot neigh-
borhood for the City of MOund would be beneficial for all parties
involved. Factors such as the haulers' performance, the participation
rate/level of interest, and costs could then be evaluated and modified
on this small scale, and a city-wide program'could then be "custom-
designed" based on the results of the pilot program.
Selection of a pilot neighborhood was made on the basis of the
residents' closest approximation to the population in terms of income,
age, and level of education. The Highlands area was chosen on the
basis of these factors. This pilot neighborhood contains approximately
500 households, or 14% of the total in Mound (3500 households).
page 2
III.
Specifics of Pilot Program
The first Friday of each month Beermann Services will collect
glass containers (all colors), metal containers, newspaper, junk
mail, cardboard, magazines, drain oil, used paint thinner, other
household solvents, car batteries and other car parts, and clean
rags. Each resident should place their recyclable materials on
their curb, packaged in either paper bags or cardboard boxes labeled
"R" for Recyclables (bags and boxes are recyclable also). Another
available option for packaging is plastic tubs or bins which may be
purchased through the City by Mound residents.
A further possibility of a drop-off site would be available for
residents who forgot to set out recyclables on collection day, or
Mound residents outside the pilot area who may wish to recycle
materials for the period of the pilot project. This drop-off
site would be open probably the second or third Saturday of each
month in the morning.
IV.
Containers
Three sturdy, weather-resistant plastic containers will be available
for purchase by Mound residents at'full cost. The city will take
requests and on specified dates order the amount of containers wanted
by residents. For those residents who cannot afford to purchase the
containers and'who express' a high ~nterest in recycling, will be
giveh a set of three containers free of charge, however a $5.00
deposit will be collected,
TheSe containers are color-coded: one for cans, one for newsprint,
and the other for glass. Specific dimensions of these bins are three
feet high by one and one-half feet wide (all tGree when stacked), and
each tub has one and one-half cubic feet of space. These may be
stored in one's kitchen, garage, or basement,
Haul ers
Specifications of Mound's proposed recycling program had been publicly
advertised to enable hauling companies to prepare formal proposals to
submit to Mound City Council.for consideration. Specifications were
published in The Laker and the Construction Bulletin, and mailed to
four well-known hauling companies in the metropolitan area.
Beermann Services (Inver Grove Heights) was the only bid received.
VI.
Advertising
Hennepin County will be recognized as a major funding source for this
curbside recycling program on all advertising campaigns.
Note: The purpose of this volume of advertising is to educate and
encourage Mound citizens to recycle in as many media facets as possible.
page
Ae
Brochures
The format of our brochures would be fashioned after St. Louis
Park's pilot-phase brochures. They mailed two different brochures
(at different points in the pilot program) which had very high
visibility reflecting, in part, their high participation rate.
The first brochure was mailed 3-4 weeks prior to the first pick-up
explaining the "how-to's" of recycling. The second brochure was
mailed approximately 6 months after the kick-off: an informational
column with participation rates and tonnages already collected;
and asked the participants to complete a one-page survey inquiring
about the level of interest, what they recycle and how often,
suggestions for improvements in the program, and the most effective
types of advertising. This survey was to completed and mailed back
to the city for evaluation purposes.
The Recycling Advisory Committee proposes a simplification of St.
Louis Park's brochures, as it has been stated that the brochures
were very effective for informational purposes as well as high
participation. In an effort to keep costs down, the Advisory
Committee will ask several community organizations to hand-deliver
one brochure to the residents in the Highlands area - encouraging
the residents to recycle, further explaining Mound's program, and
answering questions. If successful, volunteers will also hand-deliver
the city-wide brochures in the fall 1985. A survey would be
hand-delivered also to the pilot area (approximately mid-August)
and then'to city-wide residents (mid-March 1986).
The Laker/The Sailor
These two local newspapers are published w~ekly, The Laker's
circulation includes Mound, Minnetrlsta, Navarre, Spring Park,
and west Orono, The Sailor is delivered to Mound, Navarre,
Minnetonka Beach, Spring Park, and Crystal Bay,
Judy Soukup (reporter for The Laker) has agreed to write a story
and include a picture for the "kick-off" of the pilot program,
Rick Anderson (in charge of advertising for The Laker) recommended
the 4" x 5" advertisement size, to be run two weeks prior and one
week prior to the "kick-off" of both the pilot and city-wide
programs, The Recycling Advisory Committee recommends advertising
in The Laker and The Sailor once every three months using the
4" x 5" ad size (as opposed to the expense of advertising once a
month), These ads would be run as close 'to one week in advance
of collection day as possible.
Jane Penningroth (advertisement department for The Sailor) also
recommended the same amount of advertising. The Sailor will als6
cover the start~up of our pilot-phase and city-wide recycling
programs.
page 4
Ce
Cable TV - Dowsat
Sally Koenecke (Community Services) will be producing several
monthly 5-10 minute segments on recycling: the "how-to's"; a
segment on the pilot kick-off; updates; etc. Each segment will
be shown several times in a month; a different segment will be
shown in following months on channel 20 (local programming). The
Advisory Committee may be asking for volunteers to assist Sally
with the production of these segments.
Lawn Signs
Similar in design to political lawn signs, these signs will be
used (one on each block or two) stating "Tomorrow is Our Recycling
Day: Friday". The Recycling Advisory Committee will ask for'
'block volunteers' - households willing to display these signs in
their front yard once a month. When volunteers are hand-delivering
the brochures, block volunteers may be recruited, City land may
also be considered for putting lawn signs up. These lawn signs
are used currently in the Minneapolis curbside recycling program
and have been a very effective reminder for neighbors to set out
their recyclables the next day.
School Involvement
All six schools in Mound (Hilltop, Shirley Hills, Our Lady Of the
Lake, Calvary, Grandview, and Mound Westonka High School) will be
involved in an educational week: learning why recycling is
important for everyone; and the "how-to's for curbside recycling
in Mound.
An additional purpose of involving the students is to conduct a
contest: to draw two pictures for our brochures (cover picture,
and an inside picture) and to design a logo for this recycling
program. At least two winners from each school will be selected
by the Recycling Advisory Committee members. The additional
winners' entries will be used in our 1986 calendars, and posters
for Mound businesses. Winners will be awarded prizes. The
Advisory Committee will be approaching the Mound Merchants'
Association to obtain donations for these prizes.
Posters
Approximately 100 posters will be printed (from the school contest
winnersj drawings) and be placed throughout the city, possibly in
offices, stores, banks, the library, etc.
page 5
Letter from the Mayor
One of the most effective techniques of advertising used by many
of the current curbside recycling programs has been this letter'
from the Mayor endorsing the program and encouraging citizens to
participate.
A letter of endorsement by Mayor Robert Polston would be hand-
delivered with the brochures to the citizens in the Highlands
area prior to the first pick-up (probably two-three weeks in
advance). If effective, another letter would be hand-delivered
with the brochures to the rest of Mound citizens in the beginning
of September 1985.
Flyers
Flyers will be sent out with The Laker (in November or December
1985) during the implementation phase of this city-wide project.
These will contain updated information: participation rates; tons
collected; and continual encouragement to recycle. These flyers
may also contain the upcoming months' calendars with pick-up
dates highlighted.
1986 Calendars
A ~986 calendar will be made available for purchase by Mound
residents. This'calendar will be a composite of recycling
collection days, City Hall meetings, and possibly the All-
American Gymnastics Academy activities. The activities of
the organization recruited to market these calendars may also
be included in the monthly agendas·
The calendar will contain additional pictures from the school
contests, all concerning recycling issues during the different
seasons·
One marketing technique which may be used is to have a volunteer
organizatlon handle the sales of these calendars. The Recycling
Advisory Committee is considering a cost of $1.50 each: 50¢ would
be kept by the volunteer organization; and $1.00 would be returned
to the city to recover'the costs of printing as well as a small
profit. Binding of the calendars would be done by volunteers to
reduce costs. These would go on sale approximately mid-November
1985,
VII.
Evaluation
An analysis of the pilot program will be conducted at the end of five
months operation (May 1985 - September 1985) by Mound city staff.
Modifications, as needed, will be made at that time. Possibilities
page
may include changing haulers, collection day(s), types of containers,
advertising techniques, etc. Evaluation will be made of participation
rates: why high or low, and whether we met the minimum requirements
for the haulers in terms of tonnage (amount) of recyclables they need.
This evaluation must take into consideration the fact that during the
first two-three years curbslde recycling programs have historically
been operating at a loss, and not until the program is very well
established will a profit be seen.
VIII.
City-Wide Implementation
Assuming modifications can be completed by October 1985, city-wide
collection of recyclable materials will begin on the first Friday
of October 1985. This will allow two to three months operation
to get all Mound residents in the habit of source separation prior
to bad weather conditions.
IX.
City Staff
One part-time city employee will be necessary to assure smoot~
implementation of the curbside recycling pilot program and continual
success in the city-wide collection Of recyclable materials. Specific
responsibilities of a recycling coordinator would include designing a
promotional and marketing .strategy for the pilot program, arranging
continual publicity for the recycling program (city-wide), work in
conjunction with Henn~pin County in developing and monitoring this
curbside recycling program, establish and maintain systematic records,
constant surveillance of financial resources and making applications
to funding sources, advise the City Council or.staff of recommended
changes in the program where approval is necessary, answer incoming
calls and questions about recycling, make presentations to community
groups interested in volunteering their assistance with advertising
campaigns, assess the possibilities of Mound businesses for office
paper, glasses, cans, and cardboard recycling and collection, monitor
and evaluate community group participation, monitor the hauling
contractor, keep up-to-date with recycling programs in other
communities, analyze the possibility of a future composting program

NOTE:
The averaged estimate for HAULERS is quite high. I do not
expect City-Wide hauling costs to'exceed $1000 per month
(the averaged estimate is $1900 per month). Beermann Services
gave an estimate of 5800 per month (when the first recycling
proposal was completed -. February 1985). Using the figure of
$1000 per month for city-wide recyclables collection, the 1986
costs are figured again below.

Re: Beermann Balance Sheet
I looked over the balance sheet for Beermann Services as you requested.
Although it is difficult to draw much of a concluslon about a company from
looking at a balance sheet without also looking at a profit and loss
statement and not knowing much about the industry, there are a couple of
things I could point out.
1. The net income for the first half of 1984 was only $3,521. Based on
a conversation with Mr. Beermann, this is on sales of $1,000,000 which
amounts, to only'about .3%. This is from the combined operation of garbage
hauling and recycling. The garbage hauling apparently subsidizes the
recy~lingg operation. From what I know about recycling companies, they
do not show much of a profit. Therefore, this may not be all that bad.
I would guess this.net profit is after paying salaries to himself and his
wife and who knows what that may be. I only mention this because they
certainly could not live on $7,000 per year.
2. It appears that $21,247 of the assets were tied up in a receivable from
Big John - his brother-in-law, tie apparantly subcontracts with him and does
work 'for him. This could be seen as both good and bad. He would have a
back-up if he coul~not handle the work but it could be more difficult to
collect.
If I were selecting a recyc.llng hauler, I would be more incllned to select
them on there references and the fact that they have been in business for
25 years rather than the amount of profit they show, I would, however, be
somewhat concerned that he is coming from Inver Grove Heights. This is a
long way to haul, especially if recycling is a losing proposition to begin
with.

Dear Ms. Anderson:
Beermann Services has asked us to send a "Letter of Recommendation"
b~tli~i~g our satisfaction with the excellent performance it has given
the city of Minneapolis' recycling efforts.
Consistency and competency are the keys to Beermann's success in
Minneapolis~ Its dependabilty has increased residents' confidence,
and has definitely been a major factor in increased participation
rates and ~&gher weight figures in its contracted area.
Bernie Beermann, company pwmex~understands the recycling business
and has the ability (more than 20 years) tO adapt his company to
service any size city. Bernie is "recycling smart~,'' which can mean
less governmental headaches because he usually forsees problems be-
fore they happen.
It is our contention that Beermann Services would help your recycling
effort %eeome~e~fe~t~v~J~n'ia~shorter time with fewer hassles. Ex-
perience is a critical factor when hiring a recycling company, and
Beermann Services has the experience to be successful.
If you have any questions, please call our office at 348-8077.
Sincerely,
Stephen J. Beseke

Re: Lot 15, Block ll, Devon
Dear Mr. E1 am:
This is to formally request that the City of Mound subdivide Lot 15,
Block ll, Devon, from Lots 13 and 14 for the purpose of selling it to
me. These Lots are presently combined as PID 25-117-24-11-0024. I
presently own Lots 5, 6 and 16 which leaves me with and odd shaped and rather
small property~ The present property line runs just a few feet from the
existing house along the border of Lots 15 and 16. As my present intention
is to continue to live at this location for some'time, my only interest in
this Lot is esthetic and ! would have no interest whatever in attempting
to sell Lots 6 and 15 as a buildable Lot. I would have no objection to
a stipulation..to this.~ffect as a condition of sale.
I have enclosed a check for $100 as earnest money. I am hereby offering
a sum of $1500 for the property. I have arrived at this figure based on
the following factors: I purchased Lot 6 last September at a private
auction conducted by the county for tax forfeit lands. At this time its
assessed value was $2500. Lot 15 is of similar size, shape and location,
however, it is land-locked with no direct access, no sewer or water hookup
and is comprised mainly of a fairly steep bank falling away to land which
would probably need to be filled to be useful for building. As such I
feel the land is worth substantially less than Lot 6 which has good access
and is nicely level. ,
Please inform me of the procedure which is to be followed to proceed in
this matter.'

Re: Lots 13, 14 and 15, Block 11, Devon
Dear Fran:
Per your request of November 19, 1984, I checked at the
courthouse to ascertain the status of these three parcels.
Lot 13, Block 11, Devon is in the name of Dora Kenyon, 4700
Avenue, Los Angeles, California. The certificate of title number
is 111441. A tax certificate was filed by the State of Minnesota
on December 3, 1970, and a state deed dated.February 13, 1981, and
recorded as document no. 1419174 was recorded in the office of the
Registrar of Titles on March 23, 1981. Fran, the old certificate
remains-on this parcel because what we have is in effect a tax deed.
There are no restrictions on that parcel. I am enclosing a copy
of the deed which conveyed not only Lot 13 but Lots 14 and 15
also. Each parcel actually has a different certificate and a
different problem which I will state below.
Lot 14, Block 11, Devon is also in the name of Dora Kenyon,
and that is covered by certificate of title no. 8558. She purchased
that property when she was 38 years of age in 1913. A tax
certificate was filed by the State of Minnesota on February 1,
1971, against that particular parcel. The City of Mound's interest
was obtained as a result of the enclosed deed which was document
1419174, but in both Lots 13 and 14, we have'.a memorial on the
certificate. Lot 15, Block 11, Devon is free and clear and
registere~ in. the name of .the City of Mound.: This is shown by
Certificate of Title No. 611057~. That property may be sold by
the City as it has no restrictions.
If I can~ be of further help or assistance, please call.
Very ..truly you. rs~

RE: LOT 15, BLOCK 11, DEVON
Dear Mr. Larson:
We have completed our investigation of the lot you requested information on.
It looks like, from.the records, that the City has good ownership title to
Lot 15, Block 11, Devon, and that we could subdivide off Lots 13 & 14.
The way.'l would determine sale price would be to check out the land value
of the lots around the area. From there you would need to make an offer
to purchase it for the price requested.
We would require a $100 down payment (earnest money) and then we would
file for the necessary subdivision to separate Lot 15 from Lots 13 & 14.
That would need to be approved by both the Planning Commission and the
City Council.
This all sounds much more cumbersome than it actually is.
know your intentions and we can move forward.
Please let me '

TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY MANAGER
Attached isa letter from Mr. Vince Forystek who is requesting the City
undertake a public improvement plan to extend water, sewer and improved
streets to the several unimproved lots he owns.
These were tax forfeit lots that Mr. Forystek purchased from his brother.
What I am sure he would like us to do is undertake the necessary improvments
(total preliminary costs are $19,290.) and assess these costs to the lots.
He would then sell the lots and make his money while the City would finance
the improvements at an interest rate lower than we would receive by just
investing the funds.
CAUTIONS:
Ao
Ask that he put in an escrow fund the necessary costs to cover all the
required engineering costs. If the project is implemented these could
be refunded or credited toward the project. If the project is not moved
forward, at least the rest of the community would not have to pay for
the project.
Bo
Ask that the project, if assessed, would be assessed with an interest
rate equal to what the City earned on its excess funds in 1984, about
10.5~.

Mr Elam,
In regard to lots 25, 26, 27, and the northeasterly
115 feet of lots 15 and 16, Block 8 Pembrooke Edition.
I am interested in developing the fore stated property
into two legally buildable lots. I have reviewed
the preliminary cost estimate pertaining to an addition
of a culdesac to the existing dead end of Paisley
Road. After.having spoken with you about possible
avenues I can take regarding financing of the project
I would like to at this time request a Public Improvement
Hearing.

Subject: Paisley Road Extension

Dear Son:
As requested we have prepared cost estimates for construction of a
cul-de-sac and extension of utilities to serve subject vacant property.
Enclosed are these estimates.
We have not done any field work therefore no elevations are available at
this time. I did visit the site and it appears an area has already been rough
graded where a cul-de-sac could be constructed. If this project goes any
further, the drainage in the area of the proposed cul-de-sac needs additional
study.
The attached cost estimates for utilities include main extensions within
the Raisley Road right-of-way from Inverness Lane to the proposed cul-de-sac.
.This would be much cheaper than extending the water and sewer from where it
presently ends and have to replace approximately 200 feet of existing street.
Greg and I have discussed the different methods that could be used to serve
this property and have settled on the one estimated. We feel the water should
be a 6" main with a hydrant at the proposed cul-de-sac for fire protection. At
the present time the closest hydrant is at the intersection of Drury and
Raisley. The cost estimate for the sewer shows an 8" line, which could be
reduced to 6" if desired. The cost savings would probably amount to only $500
to $600. The cost estimate also shows 2 manholes even though the length of the
extension would only require one new manhole at the proposed cul-de-sac.
Without elevations to show the ground profile it is impossible to determine if
one manhole would.be sufficient.

TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY MANAGER
Enclosed is a proposal and resume for Joyce Olson, the person who has been
fil~ing our City Council Meetings for Dow-Sat.
Recently, she came in and discussed the number of hours this task was taking
each week and felt that if she was going to be expected to film each meeting
that perhaps she might be able to be paid.
We receive about $8,000 per year from the cable company as a franchise fee
which has been earmarked for public access use. Obviously filming the
meetings is the ultimate in access thus it makes great sense to me that the
support for this.would come from these funds (which are replenished each
November).
Her proposal would be:
$2,900 for preparing and filming
260 for tapes
$3,160 Total
This is well within the allotted amount, thus I recommend approving not more
than $3,200 for filming City Council Meetings/Projects for Dow-Sat for the
period April 1, 1985 to March 30, 1986. Funding to come from the cable T.V.
fund.

QUARTERLY REVIEW OF TAX FORFEIT PROPERTIES
Recently the City received the attached package of tax forfeit properties from
Hennepin County. Our responsibility is to review them and approve those that
meet our zoning requirements for public sale; approve those undersized proper-
ties for private sale to adjoining property owners; or retain some parcels for
City use.
The following can be released for public sale.

NARRATIVE ON THE LOTS
PUBLIC SALE
1. Very steep bank, located on Commerce Blvd. Little use, although it has
public access from North end of property. A driveway entrance would be
required to be put in off Commerce Blvd.
2~ Property very low and wet. Previous soil tests have shown this prob]em.
If the bad soil could be removed or pilings used, the site would be a
fine developable site.
3. Corner lot, messy condition, dead tree in middle of'property. Not main-
tained in recent past. Is bui]dable and might be attractive for develop-
ment.
4. & 5. Very steep hill, completely usable. See dohn Cameron's narrative
on these lots.
6.,7. & 8. Corner lot, good buildable location. In the process of combining
to make one lot. Will need fill, have in the past dumped street
sweepings on the sit to help eliminate a dangerous situation.
PRIVATE SALE
1. Fiat lot on Lamberton with steep bank in rear of property. Only 4,200
square feet. Should be combined with adjacent vacant lot to create a
good building site.
Small corner lot used by homeowners to the West for a swing set. Weeds
not taken care of, °an eyesore.
3. Undersized lot, which is an eyesore next to Drummon~ waterway. Tough to
figure out which adjoining owner might want the site.

Tax Forfeit Lots
File #6670
Dear Fran:
I have reviewed the current list of tax forfeit lots and have the following
comments and recommendations to make.
Tract A~ R.L.S. #1222 - R.I.D. #13-117-24 23 00~. Area = 16,600 square
feet.
Lot 13A~ Brockton - P.I.D #14-117-24 31 0013. Area = 21,400 square feet.
Geno and myself looked at this lot and we both feel the City should keep it
for drainage purposes. The runoff from a low area in Lots ll and 12,
Brockton is carried in a culvert under Diamond Lane and then runs in a
swale through Lot 13A. This lot also appears to be marginal as a builOing
site.
Lots 8 and 9~ Block 9, Seton- P.I.D. #19-117-23 23 0001. Area = 6,400
square feet. We acquired a permanent easement on Lot 9 for the curb radius
in conjunction with the 1978 street improvement project. I cannot tell
from our files if this easement was ever recorded. The legal description
Odes say "subject to road," so I assume it was filed, but this should be
verified. Enclosed is a copy of the signed easement.
Lot 17~ Block 2~ Pembroke - P.I.D. #19-117-23 34 0041. Area = 4,200 square
feet.
Lot 1~ Block 26~ Wychwood - P.I.D. #24-117-24 41 0072. Area = 4,480 square
feet.
Lot 18~ Block 19~ Devon - P.I.D #25-117-24 11 0100. Area = 3,200 square
feet.
Ms~ Fran Clark
January 15, 1985
Page Two
Lot 19, Block 19, Devon - P.I.D. #25-117-24 11 0101. Area = 3,200 square
feet.
Lot 20~ Block 19, Devon - P.I.D. #25-117-24 11 0102. Area = 3,200 square
feet.
Lot 10, Block 12, Whipple - P.I.D. #25-117-24 21 0028. Area = 3,200 square
feet.
Lots 13 and 14, Block 4~ Devon - P.I.D. #30-117-23 22 0026. Area = 6,400
square feet.
Lots 15 and 16, Block 4, Devon - P.I.D. #30-117-23 22 0027. Area = 6,400
square feet.
These last two parcels are also very questionable as building sites. The
grade drops almost vertically approximately 15 to 20 feet from a point 6 to 8
feet behind the curb. New houses were built this past summer on the four lots
directly north, and graded with very flat rear yards. It appears to fill the
four lots in question to make them buildable would create a problem with the
two existing homes. The other side of the question is what good are these four
lots to the City.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact
me.
Very truly yours,
McCOMBS-KNUTSON ASSOCIATES, IN~.

TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY MANAGER
The Greater Minneapolis Council of Camp Fire Girls is celebrating their
75th anniversary this year. As a part of that celebration, they want to
lead the Council in the Pledge of Allegiance and present a friendship
cake.
If it is O.K., I would like to move the meeting up to 7:00 P.M. so that
they might do their program and also talk a little about Camp Fire Girls
at Sh~irley Hills'
It would give the firls an opportunity to be on cable T.V. and explain
their program. In addition, they could offer everyone (including them-
selves) a piece of cake prior to the meeting beginning at 7:30 P.M.
The leaders name is Connie Skarp and she has two groups from Shirley ~ills.
3rd & 4th grade - Shirt Tails
5th & 6th grade Sky Blue Waters
A total of 16 girls.
It looked to me a good way to use cable and create some positive goodwill.
We will need to reschedule the start from 7:30 to 7:00 although all hearings,
etc. will still start at 7:30 P.M. This is for the April 23rd meeting.

Mr. William S. Joynes, Chair

Dear Si 11:
I thought l should let you know that their is pretty wide spread feelings
around Mound that the Control Data project is really not very effective.
It is clear that they just don't know very much about cities and that
everyone i,s paying a.relatively lot of money to train them to do so.
So far, between the questionaires and various other sessions directly
relating to this study, Mou~has spent about 100 hours (xlO.OO/hr.).
By the time we are done it may well. total 300+.hours.
Fod a City of our staffing, ! just can't justify continuing to let ail of
our key people leave day after day to help Control Data.
We are working with the States Job Match System and with admidittedly
certain weakness feel we can tailor it to what the legislature really
is requiring.
Thus, we aren't officially dropping out at ~hls point, but we are not going
to actively participate either,
We have not paid our $4390. yet and I don't want to until we have a better
clarification as to the final direction we will go.
Sincerely yours,
City Manager

Dear Jon:
Regarding your letter dated March 21, 1985, concerning the Comparable Worth
Study, please let me make these observations.
You are quite correct about the amount of staff time necessary to complete
the study. Mound's experience is probably typical. I do, however,
disagree with your assessment of its value. Admittedly, Control Data is
having to learn about municipal organizational structure during this pro-
cess. My experience has been that this is common with almost all con-
sultants who undertake a specific municipal project. Perhaps you have had
better luck. I think, however, that you have missed the most crucial part
of employee participation and that being the involvement and sense of
ownership by our employees in a complex and difficult project. Acceptance
of the results of this effort will hinge on that participation.
You may wish to talk to Bob Bocwinski in Columbia Heights. Hay Associates
bid a job evaluation plan to meet the State Law at $17,000. This only
included 100 hours of consultant time -- something Bob estimates is
woefully short of what is needed.
As to your desire to determine at a later date whether you will pay, let me
say this. Absolutely every consultant I have 'worked with in my tenure in
local government, has requested some commitment up front before the work is
undertaken. Try as I.might, I have never found one that is willing to be
paid based on how well we liked the results. That is why MAMA asked each
City to give us a commitment by the end of January 1985. We did not ask

Mr. E1 am

for payment at that time because of the varying pay schedules existing in
each City. We realized this project could only be accomplished through a
goo.d faith effort. In good faith, I cannot ask the other cities in this
prooect to carry the financial burden for Mound until-you decide which
study suits your purposes. I will notify Control Data and the MAMA RFP
Commi tree of your withdrawal.

Dear Bill:
I thought l should let you know that their is pretty wide spread feelings
around Mound that the Control Data project is really not very effective.
It is clear that they just don't know very much about cities and that
everyone i,s paying a relatively lot of money to train them to do so.
So far, between the questionaires and various other sessions directly
relating to this study, Mou~has spent about 100 hours (xl0.OO/hr.).
By the time we are done it may well. total 300+ hours.
Fofa City of our staffing, I just can't justify continuing to let all of
our key people leave day after day to help Control Data.
We are working with the States Job Match System and with admidittedly
certain weakness feel we can tailor it to what the legislature really
is requiring.
Thus, we aren't officially dropping out at ~his point, but we are not going
to actively participate either.
We have not paid our $4390. yet and I don't want to until we have a better
clarification as to the final direction we will go.
Sincerely yours,

In follow-up to the discussion at that meeting we have responded to
your request by proposing a program of flow m~asurement evaluation in
a letter to Mr. Jchn C. Lichter of E. A. Hickok and Associates, (see
the attached letter fram Jc~n Lichter and our response).
It is our intent to provide a program to ensure the accurate
measurement of ~stewater flow frcrn the City of M~und. We will inform
you when we conduct tests to confirm this data so that representatives
of the city can be present. Please be assured that ~a will also
provide a program for evaluation of the flows in the future. Thank
you for your inquiry.

Dear Mr. ~c~er:
Thank you for your letter of February 20, 1985, stating the discussion
regarding wastewater flow measurement at oar February 19, 1985,
m~et ing.
As indicated in the mmeting, the (krmnission will service and calibrate
its meters (M-422 and M-423) on a regular basis. We will also
recalibrate the pump c~pacity on all City of Minnetrista (Jennings Bay
and Halsteads Bay) and Commission (Doaglas Beach-Enchanted Island)
lift stations used to deternnine waste%~ter flow to the City of Mound.
We will calibrate the mmters on a quarterly basis and pump stations on
a senzi-annual basis.
It is expec~ted that w~ will receive our equipment for the televising
of sewers in about 3 months. After a short period of training, it is
proposed to televise the gravity interceptors in the City of M~und
during bl~y through July. This inspection will ev-dluate the subsurface
and surface condition of the sewer and locate sources of inflow/
infiltration (I/I). Repair of manholes and pipe leaks will be done
immediately, if possible, or repaired under a rehabilitation program
in the near future. Prior to the time we inspect our lines by
television, we will w~lk those sections of the lines which are most
vulnerable to surface water intrusion. This inspection will be done
to locate and correct inflow problems which may not be present at a
time other than when we experience snow mmlt and/or rainfall.
Commission personnel will inform the city when these calibrations and
inspections are to take place so that the city personnel or
representative for the city can be available to observe the process.
We want to make every effort to accurately determine the. wastew~ter
flow ~from each community and assist the city in I/I reduction where
possible.
It would be appreciated if the city could furnish the Ccranission with
information they have on possible I/I reduction into locally c~ned
sewers to assist us in the evaluation of m_=tered and unmatered flow
suaraaries for M-422 and M-423.
Mr. John C. Lichter, P.E.

We look forward to your continued cooperation in furnishing sewer
connection and water use data by the oompletion of the "Survey of
Sewer Use Data" each year and informing us of changes in use of the
system which may change the w~st~ater flow volume. Please let us
know if you have any questions in regard to determining the w~stewater
flow from the City of M~und.

Strategic Planning
To Future Challenges
By Theodore Hershberg and Michael Rubin
perhaps the newest buzzword to
sweep across the consciousness of
public sector officials concerned
with the future of their communities is
"strategic planning." For skeptics and
cynics who have be.eh around long
enough to have watched similar reac-
tions to other such buzzwords, [here is
an unmistakable quality of faddishness
about this latest transfer from the pri-
vate sector to public sector planning
technology.
There are probably as many defini-
tions of strategic planning as there are
people who have tried it. Most observ-
ers agree that strategic planning as a
methodology consists of several essen-
tial steps, which taken together distin-
guish it from other types of planning.
Six steps should be mentioned: formu-
lating a mission statement; assessing in-
ternal strengths and weaknesses; re-
viewing external environmental forces;
establishing consensus on objectives and
goals and on the strategies to realize
them; setting priorities and allocating
resources accordingly; and developing
implementation plans.
The experience derived from projects
recently undertaken in Philadelphia il-
lustrates important elements of strategic
planning. Each of these projects raised
significant issues that can be usefully
considered before undertaking a stra-
tegic planning exercise.
Fad or not, strategic exercises can be
very helpful. Indeed, they may be es-
sential given the current era of turbu-
lent change. Local communities are
inextricably part of a society undergo-
ing major transformations in economy,
science and technology, population, so-
cial structure and regulatory environ-
ments. There are benefits that accrue
from using methods that help deal more
effectively with the multiple problems
and opportunities that lie ahead.
The history of strategy as a discipline
extends back to the Greeks, who used
the term to describe a "general set of
maneuvers or a scheme exercised to take
advantage of an enemy in combat," and
distinguished it from tactics, which in-
volved smaller scale actions. By World
War II, with the advent of operations
research and systems science, strategic
planning began to be applied to all
manner of things -- from deploying in-
American
C?y & CounW/March 1985
famry to the optimal inventory for tank
parts.
These strategic techniques began to
find a new place in the corporate envi-
r0nrnent, In the 1950s and 1960s, sIra-
tegic planning became known more as a
tool for gaining market share than as a
program for securing the sovereign
state. In the 19?Os, different schools of
strategic planning emerged, including
the Harvard policy approach, portfolio
approaches, the industrial economics
model, the stakeholder concept and the
decision-process method.
This variety of strategic approaches
likely will be further extended, as they
are applied in public sector environ-
ments. The reasons for this are ob-
vious: public sector goals, specifically
aimed at serving the public good, are
complex compared to corporate sector
goals, which generally target increased
market shares. Public sector environ-
ments must serve a wide variety of in~
terests (stakeholders) versus the limited
interests of the corporation (stockhold-
ers); th.e public sector includes a more
diverse array of agencies, organiza-
tions, governments, public-private part-
nerships, and communities with diverse
"cultures" and capacities; and the pub-
lic sector faces a more varied set of
contingencies or "problem situations"
than the private sector.
Beyond the natural differences in
size, location, and growth or decline of
America's cities and counties, there are
a great many variables over.which offi-
cials have no or only limited control.
Timing, luck, the political culture, the
regard in which planning is held, the
stage of economic development, the
personalities of the key players -- each
of these has the capacity to undermine
or support a given exercise in strategic
planning.
Strategic planning is not a cookbook
that guarantees an excellent outcome if
the instructions are faithfully followed.
It is an art, not a science. But for those
who wish to undertake strategic exer-
cises, there is much to be gained by
proceeding thoughtfully and cautiously.
In the past five years, six major ini-
tiatives have been designed in Philadel-
phia to introduce a strategic approach
to economic and social development. In
part, these initiatives were the result of
new fiscal constraints facing the city and
region, and in part they were designed
to take advantage of new opportunities
emerging through the transformation of
the economic environment.
"Philadelphia: Past, Present and Fu-
ture,'' a central feature of the city's
300th anniversary commemoration, in-
volved nearly 1,000 Philadelphians in a
two-year experiment in participatory
goal setting. The project created a
unique portfolio approach to strategic
implementation.

poration and its affiliate bodies, the
Economic Development Coalition, the
Urban Affairs Partnership and the
Chamber of Commerce, originated in
1982 to organize the economic and so-
cial development organizations in
greater Philadelphia. Among the issues
addressed were the consolidation of pri-
vate sector support for development,
the balance of regional and city-based
support strategies and public-private
cooperation on a large scale.
The formation of the Mayor's Office
of Strategic Planning, the Mayor's
Commission on the 21st Century and
the city's economic development plan
reflected the administration's desire to
avoid the pitfalls of crisis management
and to balance immediacies with the
"longer-run view." The International
City Project represents a bold initiative
by the public and private sectors to de-
velop Philadelphia's position in the
emerging global economy in seven tar-
geted areas. This project raises funda-
mental questions about what can be ac-
complished through local initiatives,
and to what extent a locality's fate is
determined by exogenous forces.
To those who organize a large-scale
Additional information regard-
ing the six steps of strategic plan-
ning methodology mentioned in

strategic planning exercise, the world
seems to consist of two types of people:
those concerned with "product" and
those concerned with "process." The
product people are criticized as impa.
tient types who focus only on the bot-
tom llne -- that is, on the plan
The process people are criticized ak in-
dulgent types who tolerate diverse
points of view and.endless discussions.
It should come as no surprise that suc-
cessful strategic planning requires both
types of people.
Strategic planning in the public sec-
tor, far more so than in the private sec-
tor, requires broad participation and
consensus building so that agreed-upon
strategies can be successfully imple-
mented. Only a keen respect for process
will lead to a workable product.
Is the strategic planning exercise to be
carried out wholly within the public
sector, or will it embrace business, la-
bor, civic and community groups as
well? It's a decision that will dictate the
design of the planning process and the
level of required resources.
The participation issue als. o raises the
question of whether the effort will be
"broad-based." Each presents prob-
lems. An effort involving all major
constituencies makes the achievement of
consensus far more difficult and is quite
time-consuming; if consensus can be
reached, however, implementation
should proceed relatively smoothly.
In contrast, an effort relying on the
input of a single constituency may
achieve consensus rapidly, but is quite
likely to encounter serious difficulties
during implementation. Groups ex-
cluded from the planning process are
understandably reluctant to endorse
priorities and the strategies proposed to
achieve them -- however excellent these
initiatives may be.
There is no simple solution to this di-
lemma. As in every issue, each commu-
nity must determine how well its re-
sources match the process it chooses to
follow. Two points are clear from the
Philadelphia experience: First, new ways
of designing participation in broad-
based projects can be quite helpful in
getting around some of these problems;
and second, there is still much to be
done before the process technology is
adequate to meet the demands of well-
organized interest groups in increas-
ingly heterogeneous communities. The
1980s are not the 1950s.
If the strategic planning exercise in-
cludes the broad range of local consti-
tuencies -- business, labor, civic and
community groups as well as govern-
ment -- who takes the lead.9 The pros
and cons of government~ versus private
sector leadership are many. The issue is
not whether government should partici-
pate, but whether it should lead.
Local government may be more likely
to have greater responsibility for imple-
American City & County/March 1985
mentation, less likely to be dominated.
by special interests, and more likely to
ensure broad participation. Conversely,
gover.nment may finalize a plan it does
not support, be less able to make~ diffi-
cult choices, and be faced witch too
many day-to-day crises to carry ~but its
leadership role effectively.
If a community's political le~ders
commit themselves to the planning ef-
fort m and that means setting aside
ample quantities of their own tim,'and
dedicating adequate human and finan-
cial resources -- it is probably best to
go with public sector leadership. This
was the case in formulating Philadel-
phia's economic development strategy.
If, for whatever reasons, the public
sector does not take the lead, private
sector leadership offers several advan-
tages. One of these is the increased like-
lihood of sustaining a project through
successive administrations as was the
case with Philadelphia's International
City Project, which began in 1976.
Leadership from the non-profit sec-
tor also. provides certain benefits. In
"Philadelphia: Past, Present and Fu-
ture,'' the University of Pennsylvania
took the lead. As a result, the effort was
widely perceived as not creating another
permanent civic organization. The uni-
versity was considered less self-inter-
ested on most issues than the other ma-
jor constituencies, and it provided neu-
tral turf -- undoubtedly having a sig-
nificant impact on moving the process
forward.
Determine resources
What kind of resources are involved
in the strategic exercise'?. Most strategic
planners believe that another essential
characteristic of their method is the dis-
cipline imposed on the allocation pro-
cess -- forcing tough choices in an era
of scarce resources. In a broad-based
effort involving an entire community,
the extent of available material and hu-
man resources is not really known at the
outset.
Alt types of organizations may con-
tribute their resources if they are per-
suaded that their investment will pay
dividends. Moreover, if the resources of
many groups are mobilized, their total
value may be more than simply addi-
tive. Important synergies may develop
across participating organizations so
that projects that could.no~ be carried
out alone can be realized in concert with
others. This is the civic equivalent of the
systems theory that the "whole is
greater than the sum of its constituent
parts."
Despite the wide variety of planning
techniques, two basic strategic orienta-
tions stand out. The first focuses on
making the tough decisions, and is
called a "choice process," while the
second, called a "search process," seeks
to identify innovative opportunities.
78
If a community's
political leaders
commit themselves to
the planning effort, it
is probably best to go
with public sector
leadership.
Because a search process does not
make tough choices and allocate fixed
resources, most strategic planners would
not accept such efforts as meeting their
planning criteria. Yet, almost all the
other steps included in strategic plan-
ning methodology do appear in a well-
done search process. Mission state-
ments are prepared, internal strengths
and weaknesses are assessed, significant
external environmental forces are re-
viewed, consensus is achieved and im-
plementation scenarios are developed,
enabling search processes to become
powerful strategic exercises.
Introducing and developing a stra-
tegic planning process involves a con-
siderable investment of time, energy and
resources. Existing management and
planning routines cannot be suspended,
nor can budgetary and legislative cycles
be altered during the period in which
the process is tried. Instead, strategic
planning must be integrated with an ex-
isting set of operations before it can be
made to enhance and re-direct them. In
many ways, it is akin to upgrading the
tracks while keeping the trains on
schedule.
Question of value
The question that the cautious ad-
ministrator should ask becomes: "Is it
worth committing precious time and re-
sources to this process9.'' The following
two examples indicate the affirmative.
First is the fact that decision making
at the local level has changed dramati-
cally during the last decade: Federal
policies have placed an increased fiscal
Theodore Hershberg is assistant to the
mayor of Philadelphia, for strategic
planning and policy development, and
staff advisor to the Mayor's Commission
on the 21st Century. He is on leave from
the Center of Greater Philadelphia, where
he is director and professor of public
policy and history. Michael Rubin is act-
ing director of the Center for Greater
Philadelphia and has served as a consul-
tant to the Greater Philadelphia First
Corporation, the International City Proj-
ect and the city's economic development
strategy plan.
responsibility on states and their munic-
ipalities; in many communities, the pri-
vate sector has become a partner in
large-scale economic development proj-
ects; and special interests and commu-
nit>' groups have organized to create an
effective political voice. Strategic plan-
ning, with its longer-term orientation
~nd its focus on achieving consensus
among the commufiity's diverse consti-
tuencies, is ideally suited to the realities
of the 1980s. Comprehensive planning
and master plans that depend on a
professional bureaucracy are unlikely to
succeed in this new environment.
The second reason is simply that
America has entered an era of extraor-
dinary change, characterized, as futur-
ist Alvin Toffler suggests, by unprece-
dented opportunities and "future
shocks." The structural shift in the na-
tional economy from manufacturing to
services, large-scale demographic
changes, the globalization of trade and
an array of startling technologies are
impacting every region in the United
States and affecting communities both
large and small. This applies equally to
communities experiencing the problems
of growth, as well as to those encoun-
tering declining population and tax
bases. What distinguishes this period of
change is not growth or decline per se,
but a developmental shift in the way in-
stitutions and interactions are orga-
nized.
Russell Ackoff, one of the founders,
of the systems approach, makes a dis-
tinction between growth, which is con-
cerned simply with size, and develop-
ment, which is concerned with increas-
ing the competence or capacity of an
organization to achieve its goals.
Harvey Perloff, the noted urban plan-
ner, suggested 10 years ago that cities
were entering such a period of develop-
mental change, with new institutional
frameworks and innovative procedures
on the horizon. For the first time in the
history of the American city, Perloff
argued, internal development decisions
may count more for a locality's quality
of life and economic well-being than
would external forces.
Strategic planning, with its emphasis
on evaluating internal assets against a
scan of external opportunities, offers
the appropriate technology for con-
fronting this challenge. In addition, the
acceptance of novel ideas -- which the
process supports -- is critical during a
period when innovation is of the es-
sence.
This is truly an era of search and
choice. Those cities and counties that
invest time and resources in developing
the capacity to think and act strategi-
cally will be able to make the most o,
their assets in this transformative pe-
riod. Those that do not will be con-
fronted with wave upon wave of crisis
in a sea of missed opportunities. ~

The business of local government is being trans[ormed; municipal centers like
those in Boulder, Colorado, above, are proving ready for the challenge.
By Robert Berkman
]n municipal offices and facilities
across the nation, microcomputers
are emerging and muhiplying in un-
expected places, bringing change,
promising efficiency, and occasionally
wreaking havoc in towns and cities.
deed, during the last five years, micro-
computers have brought a quiet revolu-
tion of sorts to local governments.
According to a 1982 poll by the In-
ternational City Managemea~ Associa-
tion, only 13 percent of cities with a
population over 5,000 reported owning
or leasing a microcomputer. A year
later, a state regional association poll
found 38 percent using them. Today the
number of users is certainly more than
50 percent.
But micros are not always welcome
guests. Along with their potential for
increasing productMty, they are forcing
cities to deal with the problems and
confusions of decentralized computing:
\Vhat happens to the data processing
department? How do you handle em-
ployees who buy their own machine?
Who controls what information? In
fact, a couple years ago, when people
were groping for a good definition of a
microcomputer, it seemed that the only
consistent one was "a computer small
enough to hide in a department's bud-
get."
The other major hm-dle is finding
software. Because software vendors
have concentrated their efforts on the
private sector, towns and cities have had
to improvise, share ideas with other
municipalities and learn how to make
do with the available resources.
Recently, the biggest challenge has
been to provide for a method of net-
working these small computers together
-- to share information when necessary
and to enable the government as a
whole to operate more efficiently. A
few innovative cities and towns have
made some ground-breaking initiatives
in this area.
Micro improvements
What are some of the big benefits
that governments are obtaining from
micros? Probably the most popular ap-
plications have been the various types of
financial analyses -- budget prepara-
tion and monitoring, calculation of
bond indebtedness, forecasting the ef-
fects of tax changes, tracking the status
of projects and various "what-if" cal-
culations. For the city manager, micros
have been put to use as a critical tool in
guiding city-wide activities. Specifically,
micros have provided managers with:
emote effective decision making --
managers can access more information,
and do so more quickly;
Ogreater capability to sell or counsel
the public on new ideas -- the com-
puter can track the impact of a particu-
lar action over time and provide cost-
justification; and
.~ ability to project staff reductions or
reallocations -- one Midwest city re-
duced its budget staff from three people
to two people after buying a microcom-
puter.
Within individual departments, the
greatest benefit of microcomputers has
been their ability to reduce workload
and improve productivity. Common
"tool" programs such as word process-
ing, spreadsheet, database management
and graphics software all help to pro-
vide increased efficiency. However,
many governments have also succeeded
in implementing a variety of specialized
departmental applications: traffic signal
optimization, traffic flow analysis, po-
lice car tracking, computer-aided-dis-
patching, license trackina, computer
generated spot maps, citizen complaint
tracking, arson investigation, sales tax
collection, utility billing, engineering
graphics, tree inventory, sports league
scheduling, park reservations, vehicle
inventory and maintenance, zoning
change impacts, water quality monitor-
ing and portable report writing.
Innovative uses
One local government that has been
especially innovative in putting its mi-
cros to use is Garden City, Michigan.
The city's 40-employee police depart-
ment is one of the leaders in the use of
micros in criminal justice. Consider
three important applications that the
department is now performing on its
microcomputer system.
1.Fingerprint file. A list processing
package has been modified to help
match fingerprints taken at a crime
scene with those of known felons. The
system works like this: The fingerprint
characteristics of the felons in and
around Garden City are regularly en-
tered into the fingerprint file. Then,
whenever an officer lifts prints at a
crime scene, the officer plugs the spe-
cific description of those prints into the
microcomputer. The computer then
compares these characteristics with
those of the felons' prints already in the
system. The names of the felons identi-
fied by the computer are then consid-
ered suspects in the case.
2.Bog/business licenses. The same
software program was used to search
for all business and dog ewners who did
not renew their city licenses. A letter
was sent to all those people, warning
them to renew their licenses. The result
was about 1,500 responses from dog
owners, resulting in $15,000 of revenue,
American City & County/March 1985
arid 100 responses from businesses,.
providing $2,500 in revenue.
3.Report and arrest file. Here, a da-
tabase management software package is
used to keep a complete file on officer
arrests and other activities. The system
generates Uniform Crime Reporting
(UCR) information, and maintains in-
cident information on: the name of the
officer, shift, date, report number, type
of report, where written, whether an ar-
rest was made and the time of day. A
printout of all officer activities, broken
down by shift, is run at the end of each
month. This information is used for
producing crime projection studies.
Software has also aided Garden City
with performance rating. Utilizing the
database management program to mea-
sure officer productivity, the program
lists 36 performance areas, including:
number of arrests made, type of arrest,
sick days and training classes attended.
Point values are assigned for each task
or category.
Additionally, the same software is
used fcrr tracking fleet maintenance
costs. The program keeps information
on all vehicle expenses, divided into
specific costs such as parts, fuel and re-
pair.
In Fort \Vorth, Texas, micros are
being used throughout city government
for a variety of departmental applica-
tions. For public works and transporta-
tion, a portable micro performs traffic
signal optimization, and a computer-
aided street design applicatibn is in the
works. In the budget division, a micr6
performs financial modeling, and reve-
nue and expenditure forecasting. Tax
rate simulations are also calculated.
Possibly the biggest hurdle local gov-
ernments have had to face in dealing
with the entrance of micros are the in-
evitable organizational challenges to its
centralized computing environment.
This issue has caused major turf battles
in the past, usually between central data
processing and departments or users
wanting to purchase their own micro.
Problems occurred if the central data
processing attempted to prohibit or dis-
courage these purchases. In a number
of cases, an individual who purchased a
micro for home use, simply brought the
machine into the office and began using
it for work purposes -- or alternatively,
keeping it at home and using it for work
applications.
Initially, advocates of centralized data
processing believed that unchecked use
of small computers would injure the or-
ganization's planning and information-
sharing needs. But today, the situation
has changed. The question is no longer
whether to deal with micros, but how to
deal with them. Banning micros today
would be nearly as unfeasible as ban-
ning calculators.
The issue is really a management
question regarding the control and use
Xerox Corpo~tion
of information. Top managers are now
addressing the critical issue of how to
streamline the microcomputer's en-
trance into the municipality, and how to
ensure compatibility between machines.
Some observers initially worried that
the influx of microcomputers meam the
death of centralized data processing, but
it turns out that it may mean greater
opportunity. Micros cannot replace
necessary centralized corporate, func-
tions such as payroll, taxes and ac-
counting. And more importantly, the
data processing role may actually grow.
Equipment evaluation and data man-
agement both offer areas for expan-
sion.
A second major issue confronting
governments is how to find specialized
locai government microcomputer soft-
ware packages, although this problem is
beginning to subside. In-house pro-
gramming is expensive and time-con-
suming, so many municipalities have
been 5orced to look to exchanging soft-
ware with other governments as the only
allernative.
The biggest advantage to this
proach is cost effectiveness. Applica-
tions developed by other municipalities
usually are made available for free or at
a minimal charge. However, exchang-
ing software is very risky, and there are
a host of potential problems that can
make a transfer very difficult. The do-
nor may have done liule screenin~ or
reviewing, and documentation or in-
structions may be scamy. SupporI may
be difficult or impossible to obtain.
Before deciding to run another
nicipality's software, it is a good idea to
visit the donor government, and ob-
serve the software in action. Talk to
users and other personnel, evaluatine
the system as you would an)' vendor's
software. Is the hardware and operating
system the same? Is your machine's
memory of equal size or bigger? Inspect
the output -- how usable is it? Is the
donor government's size and operation
similar to ),ours? These and other ques-
tions should be addressed before invest-
ing the time and money to get that soft-
ware in operation.
Networking benefits
A network is defined as a collection
of machines such as a central process-
ing unit, a microcomputer, an intelli-
gent terminal, a word processor and
other devices physically connected in a
certain way to facilitate the sharing of
information or processing. A local area
network (LAN) is the term used to de-
scribe a network where these devices are
in close proximity -- an office, building
or complex.
Networks are one of the hottest top-
ics in the world of micros. The rele-
vance for local governments is well ex-
plained by William DeGroff, a past di-
rector of data processing for Boise,
Idaho, and currently marketing man-
ager for HMS in Marietta, Georgia, a
software firm specializing in local gov-
ernment. DeGroff observes, "There are
many applications in government that
can operate independently, and do not
need to interact with other depart-
ments. Some examples are graphic ap-
plications in engineering, or league
scheduling in parks and recreation.
However, there are a number of situa-
tions where information interactions are
necessary." DeGroff offers this exam-
ple:
A recreation department may bill cit-
izens for the use of facilities like gym-
nasiums and sports fields, and may pay
referees, umpires and officials. If these
financial functions, receipts and pay-
ments are done on another computer
then it is important that the two sys-
tems can somehow share the needed in-
formation. In this case, it ma!' be suffi-
cient to transfer a file of payments due
to officials to the financial computer for
complete processing in the accounts
payable or payroll systems. If the sys-
tems have compatible storage devices, a
physical transfer of data can be accom-
plished. But if they do not have com-
mon storage devices and are manufac-
tured by different companies, then a
form of machine-to-machine exchange
to accomplish the data sharing is neces-
sary.
"If there needs to be an immediat~.
interaction between the machines," sa5'.
DeGroff, "such as validating the em-
ployee number of a referee prior to re-
cording the hours or games worked,
then it is necessary to have an interac-

Aiding the qUiet revolufion
By Sharon Dennehy
The benefits of office automa-
tion are probably too numer-
ous to count on both.hands,
but according to the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA), there arc some problems
associated with thc new technology.. ·
The biggest headache is excessive
noise. According to Professor Rob-
ert Barrows, director of thc occupa-
tiom~l safety and health program at
the University of New Haven in
Connecticut, one uncovered com-
puter printer can make enough noise
to be harmful over long periods of
time.
Barrows says an uncovered printer
can create 85 decibals of noise. This
level of noise has been labeled the
"action" level by OSHA; that is,
when noise reaches this. level, em-
ployers are required by law to take
"action" to reduce the noise because
it can be harmful over long periods
of time.
If one printer can bring noise lev-
els to the action level, imagine how
serious the average automated office
'situation is, with several printers,
copiers, typewriters and other office
machinery running in cacophonous
unison.
Surprisingly enough, speech ex-
perts say that the human voice is the
most distracting office sound of all.
Jan Zimmerman of Emerson and
Stern, a computer consulting firm
specializing in speech and language,
says that since the voice carries in-
formation that is apt to be most im-
portant to us, our ears are especially
sensitive to the frequencies of
speech.
The human ear immediately draws
our attention to human or synthe-
sized voices. Although this sensitiv-
ity is vital to our survival in many
situations, it can be very distracting
in an office environment.
Ironically enough, complete si-
lence is even more distracting than
too much noise. We are conditioned
to hear background noise, and when
we don't, we feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, the smart office planner
must find ways to buffer office noise
without totally eliminating it.
When floor to ceiling offices are
not applicable, Gere Picasso, senior
consultant for environmental design
and research at AT&T, recommends
acoustic accessories such as acoustic
portable walls, wall-mounted and
ceiling-hung panels, acoustic carpet-
ing, ceilings and draperies to fight
the office automation din.
According to Tom O'Connor,
president of Brewster Corporation,
supplier to government offices, the
U.S. General Services Administra-
tion sets a product minimum of .85
NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient)
for' "good acoustics." At this level,
loud individual distractions are re-
duced to a dull background hum.
O'Connor says that another factor
to consider when choosing portable
walls is sound transmission. A good
wall will absorb sound, but prevent
it from being transmitted through to
the other side, where it may distract
someone, h wall manufacturer
should list a rating for sound trans-
mission.
The NIC (Noise Isolation Class) is
another measure of acoustic effec-
tiveness. It consists of two numerical
ratings. Industry experts say that any
rating of 20 or above is acceptable.
According to O'Connor, the ceil-
ing is usually the biggest noise re-
flector in the office since it is the
largest uninterrupted area. Acoustic
ceiling tiles will absorb much of the
noise, and become even more effec-
tive when combined with ceiling-
hung baffles (acoustic panels hung
directly from the ceiling to interrupt
and absorb bouncing sound).
Another effective noise reduction
technique is to enclose the object
that is making the noise. Acoustic
panels or covers are available for
printers to facilitate this problem. []

ates, Inc.
two machines so that the data necessary
tO complete processing of the transac-
tion can be made available. The aher-
native is to manually reproduce the data
that needs t0 be exchanged, but this is
the type of non-productive work we are
trying to eliminate w~th the microcom-
puter.''
There are many types of LANs avail-
able. The field is still in its infancy, and,
in the words of DeGroff, "not for am-
ateurs.'' However, one city that is tak-
ing great strides in this area is Boulder,
Colorado, which actually has a state-of-
the-arl local area network in operation.
In Boulder, 35 multi-user microcom-
puters are communicating with each
other and with the city's mainframe,
while sharing resources like software
and printers. The system is a "star"
type network since one computer is the
master coordinator, and other micros
branch off of that hub. Fifteen more
work stations are expected to be in-
stalled during the first quarter of 1985.
Marry Grisham, director of data pro-
cessing, says that the systein's three ma-
jor benefits are: cost savings resulting
from the network's shared resources;
the ability for departments and users to
become integrated with the rest of the
city, but still operate independently; and
increases in staff productivity.
Yet, Grisham says that networking is
a new field, so proceed with caution.
Don't try to establish a universal net-
work immediately to cover your whole
city. Instead, start slowly with an indi-
vidual building or department and work
from there. And be patient with the in-
stallation -- it's going to take some time
to get everything running smoothly. Fi-
nally, it's especially important that
someone in your government be given
the specific responsibility for the proj-
ect.
What does the future hold? First, the
incredible influx of micros shows no
signs of abating. Also, the micro has
now obtained a measure of respectabil-
ity so that data processing managers no
longer brandish their weapons when
confronted with them. And as munici-
palities become more experienced with
the microcomputer's potential, more
efforts will be made like Boulder's to
establish some type of networking ca-
pabilities. For the city manager, those
networking capabilities can provide a
host of new managerial opportunities
such as the ability lo access departmen-
tal information, allocate staff
sources, ask questions over terminals
and to serve as a clearing house of in-
formation for other governmental
agencies.

Emergency Leaf COl!ec ion Challenges City
LEE R. RITZMAN, P.E.
Operations Engineer,
Public Works Department,
Salt Lake City, Utah
V 'OLUNTEERS in Salt Lake City
once again were called upon to fill
bags, but this time it was leaf bags, not
sand bags to control the spring run-off
flooding that has occurred there over
the past two years.
Falling leaves present a significant
problem each year because they plug
gutters, culverts, and storm drain in-
takes. And city crews have only a
short time span between the leaves
falling and the first snowfall's making
their removal impossible. If the leaves
are not removed, they cause prob-
lems all winter long. To take full ad-
vantage of the four- to six-week
period in which leaf removal is possi-
ble, the city normally employs all
availabl~ public works crews. Street
sweepers, tow-behind vacuums, front
loaders, and hand brooms are used to
accomplish the task. However, this
year the crews were not available to
do the job because of the most recent
episode in a series of "100-year
events" that have hit Salt Lake City.
In the wee hours of October 18,
1984, a totally unexpected early
snowstorm dumped between 16 and
24 inches of heavy wet snow on most
of the city. A storm of such intensity is
not unheard of in the middle of
winter, but because it occurred so
early in the year, the storm caused
extensive damage. The ground was
still warm and most of the streets were
cleared and dry by afternoon. But
with the added surface area of the
leaves, the tree limbs accumulated
more weight than they could bear.
Therefore, the storm's real impact
was in broken tree limbs and downed
power lines. Some city residents were
without power for t~vo and a half days.
Tree lined avenues took on the ap-
pearance of a combat zone, and elec-
tric "spaghetti" hung from power
poles and tree branches throughout
the city.
Mayor Ted Wilson called all avail-
able crews from the parks, public
works, and water departments to re-
move the fallen and damaged limbs.
But no matter how fast crews worked,
the piles grew ever larger as residents
hauled to curbside fallen limbs from
their yards. After a month of working
10-hour days and on weekends, the
crews had removed about 80 percent
of the limbs and had transported 5,000
tons to the landfill.
It soon became apparent that with
this added workload, little effort could
be given to leaf removal. Public
Works Department Director Palmer
DePaulis and departmental mana-
in the BASIC language, some
modi~cations were necessary to allow
the programming to operate on the
county's Hewlett-Packard computer.
Automatic Features
Some features of the KCDPW com-
puterized PM program are as follows.
* Automatic scheduling of routine
lift station inspections according to
use, flow, manufacturer's suggested
maintenance requirements, history of
each lift station, and station type.
· Automatic scheduIing of specific
PM tasks to be completed during the
routine lift station inspection.
· Automatic printing of work or-
ders when station inspections are
due.
· Generation of permanent re-
cords of all inspections and work per-
formed at every lift station.
· Average daily pump "run hours"
tabulation.
· Permanent record of all pump
hour meter readings.
· Running list of uncorrected i:le-
fieieneies of ail stations.
The bags were delivered to desig-
nated churches, fire stations, and
neighborhood activity centers for dis-
tribution to the public (10 per house-
hold). Additionally, a press confer-
ence was held where the mayor filled
the first bag full of leaves. The bag
was then sealed. A contest was held
among elementary school age chil-
dren to guess the quantity of leaves in
the mayor's bag. Entry forms were
given out with the bags. The winner
would receive a $200 savings bond
and be named "mayor for a day."
Full Participation
The success of the program was
phenomenal. Orange bags appeared
overnight on the curbs like thousands
of left-over Halloween pumpkins.
When their supply of orange bags ran
out, citizens bought their own.
Neighbors joined together to do the
job, and sometimes had a party after-
wards. Some residents simply could
not resist the peer pressure of clean
lawns and curbs next door to them,
and found that raking leaves could be
fun. Age was no factor. Small children
helped their parents, and some of the
most helpful citizens were over 75.
One elderly lady lamented that she
could only pull leaves from the culvert
under her driveway as far as her arm
could reach. Extra refuse collection
routes had to be made on two
weekends to collect all the leaves. A
drive through residential areas
quickly showed that over 90 percent
of the homes had participated in the
leaf campaign.
Lastly, of the guesses submitted in
the mayor's leaf bag contest, most fell
between 1,000 and 3,000. T~-~;ear-
old Dax Mascarenas' guess of 8,000
leaves came closest to the actual
amount of 7~755 leaves. But he is.not
the only one to reap the benefits of this
imaginative program. The lawns are
cleaner, the curbs and gutters have
been swept, and the whole city has
taken on a sort of glow. Leaf removal
has eliminated the possibility of win-
tertime flooding caused by plugged
drains. And there is less standing
water to cause ice flows and street-
sized lakes. ~[3

Road. The Engineer stated that revisions have been made to the
plan at the request of the Engineer and that as revised the
Engineer concluded that the plan complies with applicable District
standards. The Engineer recommended tabling the application until
the City Planning Commission reviews the project. It was moved by
Andre, seconded by Carroll that the application be approved
subject to approval by the City of Minnetonka. Manager Lehman
inquired regarding whether the project met the requirements of the
City's comprehensive drainage plan. The Engineer responded that
it was not clear at this time whether the plan met those
requirements or not. Manager Lehman stated that he would want the
City to act first on the application prior to its consideration by
the District. The question was called on pending motion and upon
vote the motion failed. Thereafter, it was moved by $pensley,
seconded by Carroll that the application be tabled and

Results of Cooperative Study Subwatershed MC-19, St. Louis Park
Chairman Cochran noted that no other members of the public
were present in ccnnection with permit applications, but that
persons were present in connection with the cooperative study
undertaken by the District and the City of St. Louis Park in the
subwatershed of Oak Park Village. Manager Cochran requested that
the Board consider the matter of the engineering report at this
time to accommodate the time schedules of the other members of the
public present.
The Engineer reviewed a memorandum dated February 8, 1985
summarizing the results to date of the cooperative study
undertaken by the District and the City of St. Louis Park in
Subwatershed MC-19 in which the Brutger and Mandel projects are
located. The Engineer stated that the engineering staff met with
the City of St. Louis Park staff on Tuesday, February 19, 1985 to
review the memorandum and the results of the study. The Engineer
also distributed a letter dated February 21, 1985 from the City
Manager of the City of St. Louis Park committing the City to make
improvements which the City deems necessary to comply with the
overall objective of reducing flooding in this subwatershed.
The Engineer reviewed the hydrologic modeling results of the
study which revealed that the in-place storm water system cannot
handle the volume of runoff generated from a 100-year storm.. A
storm of this magnitude is typically used for design purposes when
detention ponds are involved. The Engineer also described
projected flood elevations which would be reached under a
100-year event within this subwatershed.
-3-
With respect to the Brutger permit, the Engineer noted that
the permit was approved by the District based upon assurances that
the existing storm water runoff system serving the subwatershed
was or would be made consistent with standards normally required
by the District and that the commitment of the City reflected in
the letter from the City Manager appears to resolve that issue
with respect to the Brutger permit.
With respect to the Mandel permit, the Engineer stated that
the Mandel permit had been granted with the conditions that the
proposed grading would not pre-empt significant storage capacity
within this subwatershed or cause flood conditions on improved
property near the South Oak Retention Facility under runoff
conditions resulting from a 100-year return frequency, 24 hour,
six inch rainfall. The engineer reviewed the flood elevations-
projected by the hydrologic model which suggested significant
lateral spread of water exceeding the pond dimensions by a
substantial degree but not reaching an elevation to flood
buildings on improved properties. The Engineer stated that, from
the standpoint of discharge rates to the Creek, the Mandel permit
conditions were no longer a significant issue in view of the model
results, since the Mandel development will not increase the peak
discharge rates from this subwatershed to Minnehaha Creek.
However, the Engineer stated that development of the Mandel
property could worsen local flooding.
Roger Squires appeared on behalf of Irwin Mandel.
Mr. Squires stated that the two conditions imposed by the Board in
its December 1984 approval had now been met, and further that the
City of St. Louis Park had responded to the District's concerns
and was moving forward to investigate means of reducing flooding
in this area. Mr. Squires urged the Board to act to find the
conditions in the Mandel permit imposed had been satisfied.
Manager Spensley stated that in his view further action
within the subwatershed was within the area of responsibility of
the City and that it was now up to the City to act in response to
the cooperative study. Manager Lehman suggested that of the
number of alternatives identified in the engineer's memorandum,
the only one which he would consider to be inappropriate would be
that of increasing the pumping rate to Minnehaha Creek.
Following review and further discussion of the results of
the cooperative study and the extent of the flooding problem, it
was moved by Andre, seconded by Carroll that the Board conclude
that the conditions imposed in the Mandel permit (Permit 84-06) of
December 20, 1984 are satisfied; further, that the Board accept
the commitment of the City of St. Louis Park as reflected in 'the
letter from the City Manager dated February 21, 1985 to resolve
the flooding problem; further, that the Board note that flooding
--4--
is also likely to be occurring on Minnehaha Creek itself when the
study area is flooded and therefore a solution to the local
flooding problem should not include an increase in the pumping
rates from the South Oak Retention Facility to Minnehaha Creek.
Upon vote the motion carried.
Manager Spensley then moved that the engineer be directed to
communicate with the City of St. Louis Park, notifying the City of
the continuing willingness of the District to work with the City
staff to resolve the flooding problems in this vicinity. The
motion was seconded by Manager Andre. Upon vote the motion
carried.
Otto Associates - grading and drainage plan for "Harding Acres,"
an 18-lot residential subdivision, Sec. 33BC, Smithtown Road at
Wedgewood, City of Shorewood 84-172
The Engineer reviewed the application for grading and
drainage plan approval. The Engineer stated that this matter was
before the Board in October of 1984 and that the requests made by
the Engineer at that time have now been met by the applicant. The
Engineer recommended approval subject to conditions numbered 1 and
2 in his written memorandum. It was moved by Andre, seconded by
Lehman that the application be approved subject to the written
conditions numbered 1 and 2 in the Engineer's memorandum, and
further that the specific comments of the Engineer with respect to
Lots 4 and 5 be noted in the permit letter to the applicant. Upon
vote the motion carried.
Gary and Barbara Gengel - 60 foot setback variance, Sec. 17ABB,
southeastern shoreline of Grays Bay, Lake Minnetonka, City of
Minnetonka 85-08
The Engineer reviewed the application for a variance from
the District's setback requirement. The Engineer recommended
approval of a setback to 72 feet from the ordinary high water
level of Lake Minnetonka with the condition that the applicant
prepare a revised site drawing showing the requested setback
dimension measured from the OHWL to the closest point on the main
foundation. It was moved by Andre, seonded by Lehman that the
application be approved subject to the foregoing condition. Upon
vote the motion carried.
A1 Hilde, Jr. - grading and drainage plan for a proposed 4-lot
subdivision, Sec. 20BDC, existing pond on the property ultimately
drains to Gleason Lake, City 0.f Plymouth 85-09
The Engineer reviewed the application for grading and
drainage plan approval. The Engineer stated that the project
drains via a series of ponds and storm sewers to Gleason Lake.
--5--
The Engineer recommended approval upon staff review and approval
of culvert design calculations and runoff analysis. It was moved
by Lehman, seconded by Andre that the application be approved
subject to the foregoing conditions. Upon vote the motion carried.
City of Richfield - storm sewer system providing drainage for
Richfield Bank property and the Market Plaza development, Sec.
27CBB, drainage to Richfield Lake, City of Richfield 85-10
The Engineer reviewed the application for storm sewer
installation to drain the Richfield Bank & Trust Company's parking
lot .and the Market Plaza Development. The Engineer stated that
the storm water discharges to Richfield Lake, a designated ponding
facility. The Engineer stated that Richfield Lake has no outlet
but that historically has had low water problems. The Engineer
recommended approval subject to staff review and approval of an
erosion control plan. It was moved by Carroll, seconded by
Spensley that the application be approved subject to the foregoing
condition. Upon vote the motion carried.
Hennepin Co. Dept. of Environment and Energy - maintenance
dredging of 750 cubic yards in a 50' x 400' ares of Spray Island
Channel, 300' of rip rap along southeastern shore of Seton
Channel, 100' of rip rap at both ends of Narrows channel, and 200'
of rip rap at both ends of Boy Scout Channel, 4 locations on Lake
Minnetonka; Spray Island Channel, Seton Channel, Narrows Channel,
and Boy Scout Channel 85-17
The Engineer reviewed the application of the Hennepin County
Department of Energy and Environment for three rip-rap maintenance
projects and one dredging project in the Spray Island Channel.
· The Engineer stated that the Spray Island project constituted
maintenance dredging for access to an existing channel in this
vicinity. The Engineer recommended approval of the three rip-rap
projects and that concept approval of the Spray island dredging be
qranted to be reviewed in greater detail when final exhibits
showing depth and location of channel improvements are provided by
the applicant. It was moved by Andre, seconded by Carroll that
the three rip-rap projects be approved and that concept approval
be granted for the dredging at Spray Island subject to review of
detailed exhibits prior to commencement of construction. Upon
vote the motion carried.
Treasurer's Report.
The Treasurer distributed his monthly report dated February
21, 1985, a copy of which is attached hereto. The Treasurer
reviewed the bills submitted for payment and the status of the
funds available for investment in the various accounts of the
District. Following review and discussion by the Board, it was
--6--
moved by Spensley and seconded by McWethy that the Treasurer's
Report dated February 21, 1985 be approved and the bills paid as
set forth in that report. Upon vote the motion carried.
Project CP-5 Upper Watershed Storage and Retention Project
The Engineer reported that Project No. 2, Channel
Improvements in South Katrina Marsh, were completed on February
16, 1985. Obstructions were removed from the channel and the
channel cleaned. Work on the sedimentaton basin at the outlet of
Lake Katrina is to commence the week of February 25.
The Engineer reported that Project No. 4, Channel
Improvements in Painter Marsh, were completed on February 9,
1985. The Engineer reported that approximately 70% of the
sedimentation basin at the outlet of Painter Marsh is completed.
Projects 6 and 7 have not yet been started by the contractor.
The Engineer submitted Pay Estimate #1 from the contractor,
Crossings, Inc., dated February 8, 1985, in the amount of
$47,538. The Engineer reviewed the work done and recommended
approval of the pay estimate. It was moved by Spensley, seconded
by Andre. that pay estimate #1 be approved and paid as recommended
by the Engineer. Upon vote the motion carried.
Minnehaha Creek Channel Improvements at State Hi.~h~.ay 100,
Cooperative Project CP-8
The Engineer stated that work has been completed except for
site restoration at the Creek Improvement Project at State Highway
100. The Engineer presented cross-sections and profiles which
displayed the extent of the work performed by the contractor. The
Engineer observed that rock excavation under the Highway 100
bridge exceeded by approximately 130 yards the estimate that had
been received by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The
Engineer noted that the MDOT estimated that the rock depth was 18
inches and that actual rockrin-place averaged two feet and in some
places was as much as three feet. The Engineer stated that this
rock material had been removed and replaced under the bridge
according to the specifications in the original District permit.
The Engineer presented Pay Estimate #3 from Julian M.
Johnson Construction Corporation, dated February 15, 1985, in the
amount of $33,323.26. The Engineer recommended payment of Pay
Estimate #3. It was moved by Lehman, seconded by Carroll that the
pay request be approved and paid as recommended by the Engineer.
Upon vote the motion carried.

CONCLUSIONS
Among the governmental activities which affect the state's long-term
economic well being, education is by far the most important. %he impact
of the educational system is greater than most public activities
'undertaken in the name of economic development.
A top-notch university and post-secondary education system is
necessary for vigorous economic growth. Activities undertaken by the
University of Minnesota in the areas of research and education have
been important components in Minnesota's past growth. The result of
University research has been i~portant For a variety of economic
sectors and is not confined to technology or technology-based
entities.
The university and post-secondary system have two key functions with
regard to economic growth: supplying trained personnel, especially at
the graduate level, and conducting research.
The creation of a large pool of talent in business, medicine, law,
architecture, engineering, and other fields is dependent on university
training. Individuals with these skills generate new economic
activity,'opening employment opportunities for people at all skill
levels. Although on-the-job training is also important, college and
university tralnlng is a v~tal first step in skill development. The
issue of a sufficient supply of trained engineers was cited several
times as an important issue Fo~ the state's economic future.
The presence of these individuals in the community is important for
economic growth and the quality of life. Although there is no
assurance that someone trained at the University of Minnesota will
remain in Minnesota, the fact is graduate students are likely to
reside near where they went to school when they have finished. A study
by the Minnesota High Technology Council showed that 60 percent of the
engineers trained at the University of Minnesota take their first jobs
in the state.
The university's research function is also vital. Basic research
takes place in only a few places, universities among them.
Applied research by the university can also have a direct impact on
economic growth, as is the case with Minnesota's agriculture,
forestry, and minin$ it~d~stries.
These functions of supplyiag trained personnel and undertaking
researc~ are now carried out almost exclusively in a university
setting. The private sector trains managers, engineers, and other
professionals and does its own research and development, but it rarely
grants degrees or conducts basic research.
The University of Mlnnesota has for generations been the central focus
'in Minnesota for advanced professional training and basic research. A
basic economic responsibility of the governor and Legislature is to
make sure the university continues to perform these vital
responsibilities.
Bo
Generalized upgrading of Job skills and educational attainment is
needed for Minnesota and its people to succeed. More and different
technologies are certain to become important factors in our economic
lives. Changes in the workplace will make new demands on the
workforce. Global competition will force Minnesota graduates to be
stacked up, in the marketplace, against graduates of Japanese and
German high schools, technical institutes, and universities. That
competition will undoubtedly be stiffer than what has existed so far.
II.
Delivery of other public services besides education is also important to
the state's economic future, again more important than most of the
programs undertaken in the name of economic development.
To a large degree, high-quality public services set Minnesota apart
from its neighbors and many other parts of the country. Minnesota
enjoys a reputation as a state in which it is pleasant to live.
Concern about quality of life issues such as high crime, the
environment, traffic congestion, and inadquate recreational facilities
are important controversies in other American cities. To neglect
public services important to the quality of life would be a risky
course for Minnesota.
III. Current tax and-spending policies may put continued economic success in
Jeopardy. Spending to provide high quality services must be balanced
against the need to have a tax and spending system which is not
detrimental to economic growth.
The tools and policies state-local'government can use to spur the
economy conflict o~ overlap with other public goals. Determination of
economic policy involves tradeoffs between competing goals. The most
significant tradeoff issue in Minnesota is providing a high level of
public services without creating a tax structure so onerous it drives
business away.
The tradeoff is most apparent in the most fundamental public decision
-- levying taxes to support public purposes. Dollars taken out of
private circulation reduce private economic activity, yet the public
needs roads, schools, police, and other public services.
Minnesota's higher-than-average taxes support quality public services
which have, over time, been helpful in stimulating a climate for a
strong economy. At the same time, the higher-than-average taxes are a
deterrent for certain types of businesses and the progressive tax
structure and high taxes function as a dislncenttve for highly-paid
professionals. These professionals, whether they are in industry,
advertfsing~ law, engineering, or another field, are important in
making the economy productive and also are likely to be influential in
decisions about where businesses expand or locate. . .
The dilemma is a central one for Minnesota policy makers today.
Minnesbta will likely be a high-tax state in order to support high
quality services which in turn will lead to an environment in which
-25-
economic growth will occur. Service providers insist that even more
money is necessary to provide quality schools, a world-class
university, roads, and other public services. Yet, if taxes exceed
practices elsewhere by too great a margin, Minnesota will be judged
by many people to be a bad place to live and conduct business.
In many sectors, this tax and spending margin has been exceeded. The
calls of so many businessmen and citizens for tax reduction signals
the existence of a problem. The research of the Tax Study Commission
confirms the presence of a problem.
Minnesota no longer enjoys the iuxury of being able to make tax policy
without regard to what other states and nations are doing. Minnesota
has long regarded fairness to be an overriding principle for taxation
and as a result fashioned one of the most progressive tax systems in
the nation. To what degree this system harms economic performance is
not clear, but new evidence generated by the Tax Study Commission
suggests it does have an impact.
Continuing tension between the public and private sectors is
counterproductive and could have serious negative repercussions for
the state in the future.
Resolving the dilemma will be no easy matter.
Some sort of mechanism or method is needed to permit a fact-based,
open, credible resolution of many of the issues of contention between
the public and private sectors. Despite the presence of many
cooperative ventures -- including Minnesota Wellspring, the Minnesota
Business Partnership, the work of the various chambers of commerce,
the task forces set up by the governor and legislature -- debate on
business climate issues has not reached consensus and closure.
The increasing state-to-state competition and global competition
creates new risks and opportunities. New access to global markets
meant a rapid increase in personal income for Minnesota farmers in'the
early 1970s. ~men the markets shifted, for reasons not under the
control of Minnesota farmers, their personal income dropped sharply.
Minnesota now sees itself as being in competition with other states
for economic development. This understanding has led to discussions
about what constitutes a "competitive" tax system and a "competitive"
educational system. Competition for jobs and industry is likely to
grow sharper and include more actors. A generation ago, it would have
been unthinkable that Minnesota would have been in competition with
Taiwan, Mexico, or Japan, but regulatory policy, wage levels and the
success of the educational system here and in those countries will
likely have a great deal to do with how people fare economically.
Each public activity has an opportunity cost in addition to the
displacement of private economic activity. Any activity undertaken in
the name of economic development replaces some other activity. If a
focus of the Legislature is emergency job training or promotion of
tourism, the Legislature has less time and money to spend on
developing successful educational programs or the AVTI programs.
-26-
V®
The Legislature and governor have a limited amount of time and effort
to devote to solving problems and setting policy. The policy-making
agenda should be limited to the most important items and not cluttered
with secondary and tertiary activities with little chance to have a
major impact. Focusing on less important programs and activities
hinders the ability of government to undertake successfully and
complete important activities.
A healthy economy is desirable because it provides people with the
greatest number of options and the greatest opportunity to maximize their
own potential.
A. Economic growth is not in and of itself desirable. Its utility lies
in how it enriches the lives of people.
The public purpose in fostering a strong economy is to provide people
with a broad variety of options about how to live their lives. The
more jobs'there are in Minnesota, the greater the options to
'Minnesotans with regard to employment. The faster the rate of.
personal income growth, the higher the standard of living, making
possible greater choice about where to live, recreational
opportunities, educational choices, and cultural enrichment.
Be
Many features o~ the income-support system encourage dependency, not
self-sufficiency, creating an economic drain on the state. Because of
the importance of people as resources, it is ironic that income
support policies support some individual in counterproductive roles.
The dramatic changes occurring in the economy make necessary continued
public sector involvement to help citizens maximize their opportunities.
The shift from manufacturing to services creates new risks, even
though Minnesota has fared well so far. Because of the increasing
pace of technological change, new businesses and industries grow and
mature rapidly. Old products and services are frequently and swiftly
replaced.
Although some of the special qualities that have made Minnesota
economicaily successful in the past -- highly skilled workers,
entrepreneurship, many corporate headquarters -- are known and are
likely to continue, the community cannot assume that these special.
qualities are the ones needed to be successful in the future.
Bo
The focus in years ahead will necessarily be on quality jobs, and not
just any Jobs. Minnesota will need a productive people and public
policies should be oriented towards this end.
VI.. An industrial policy to choose which types of economic activity should be
encouraged in the state would not work.
On balance, the various arguments against a state-level industrial
policy are more persuasive than the arguments in favor. Politics are
likely to be the determining factor in the distribution of any new
state support for the economy. Goverment has no special ability to
-27-
identify likely e~onomic winners. The impact of state activity is
uncertain.
A more likely path to success is to focus on the fundamental
responsibilities of the public sector. The public sector has many
vital functions it must perform if the economy and the people of
Minnesota are to prosper. Goverment should pay more attention to them
than to new types of activities which have little certainty of success
and significant possibility of mischief.
VII Minnesota needs, however, coherent public policies designed to influence
basic economic forces such as individual productivity and the ability of
individuals to perform successfully in a variety of economic
circumstances.
At
Policies and programs which seek to influence business location and
artificially induce types of industries to develop where they
otherwise would not do not contribute basic energy to the economy. On
the other hand, efforts to increase the ability of individuals to
succeed economically do not need to predict the future of the economy
to be successful.
Rather ~than trying to influence business location, state government
should try to enable citizens to engage in productive economic
functions. State-local government does this now through a variety of
programs and activities, from education to emergency job subsidies.
Current efforts are fragmented and ad hoc in nature.
Many of the existing programs, especially the ones which have an
impact on business location, work at cross purposes. Taken as a
whole, they present no coherent strategy or policy for the state. It
is unlikely the sum total of the impact of tax-increment financing,
revenue bonds, and enterprise zones could be made into a coherent
package. An approach which targets the individual citizen as the
relevant economic variable offers more promise. Each individual --
whether handicapped,.currently not part of~the labor force, or
currently without marketable skills -- represents a resource to
society.
Be
Proponents of a state industrial policy are correct that new
challenges lie ahead and that public policy wiii be an important
variable in how they are met. The public sector will be called upon
to take remedial steps in instances in which the economy breaks down.
%-~makes sense, therefore, for ~t~cal government to undert--~e
measures to lnsu uc~v_J-ty
VIII More And more systematic attempts to evalute and review locational
development programs are needed by the state. A policy rationale for
company-specific and industry-specific programs such as tax breaks,
grants, and loans, should be developed.
Despite some rudimentary steps by the legislative auditor and state
-~.-~,-e n~ nrn~rams like
-28-
industrial revenue bonds, tax-increment financing, enterprise zones,
and border city legislation. Without mechanisms to accomplish
evaluation and review, it is impossible to tell whether these programs
work and should be retained.
II.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Minnesota does not need an industrial policy which spells out what types
of business and industry should be encouraged in the state. State
government should not be involved intimately in direct allocation of
capital and the flow of resources to any particular industrial sector.
Getting state government involved in large-scale direction of the
economy is a futile endeavor. Policies of that sort are likely to
bring, out the worst of the political process. Even if politics could
be removed from the process altogether, the state has no special
ability to forsee the future and could not be expected to outperform
the marketplace at financial allocation.
The tools commonly mentioned as part of an industrial policy do not
have an impact on most of the fundamental economic forces and cannot
therefore be expected to offer a real, long-term strategy for the
state's economic future. Even if the state could identify growth
sectors in the econQmy -- and there is no certainty that it can -- it
is not clear it has the tools needed to make capital, labor, and other
resources flow into these sectors.
The Governor should, as part of the normal budget procedure, submit a
comparative fiscal analysis. A variety of specific tables, described
below, should be part of this analysis.
In order to facilitate a more rational public debate on taxes and
spending, the Governor's budget message should contain an analysis of his
budget proposal. The analysis should compare key indicators of its fiscal
impact to past budgets in Minnesota and the rest of the nation.
Specifically, the budget proposal should contain:
Charts showing how sales and income taxes compare to personal income
and disposable personal income on a per capita and per taxpayer
basis. (Calculations should be made on both a nominal and
inflation-adjusted basis.)
Charts showing how proposed practices compare to past practice and
practice in other states.
Comparisons of proposed state spending to past state spending and to
national averages and trends for spending. It should be made clear
what the proposed state spending increase would go for and to what
degree proposed spending increases at the state level are anticipated
to substitute for local expenditures.
The purpose of this analysis would be to put both policy makers and the
public in a position to understand the impact of a proposed budget on the
types of indicators which are commonly used now to compare Minnesota to
other states. At present, Minnesota is compared to other states on the
basis of national tax and expenditure rankings and on what percentage of
personal income goes into public spending and taxing. The state budget is
adopted generally without any attention to its impact on these indicators.
!.
,Ill.'
The analysis would shape public debate on the overall state taxing and
spending proflie. A politlcai party or leader may -- for one reason on
another -- choose to increase the percentage of income going into taxes.
Voters are free to ratify this decision or reject it'. Because of ups and
downs in the business cycle, it may be necessary for goals to be missed or
exceeded in any given year.
What is needed -- and what is not happening now -- is a public debate on
the overall, larger direction of taxing and spending, and a set of goals
about where, as a policy matter, those numbers should be.
III. The state of Minnesota should adopt a goal of continuing for the balance
of the decade the trend since the late 1970s of a decline in taxing as a
percent of personal income.
The committee recognizes that Minnesota, to get the kinds of educational
programs and public services necessary to sustain a vital and'growing
economy, probably will continue to be on the high side nationally of state
and local spending. If the money is well spent, it will bring an economic
dividend to the state.
In the 1985 Legislative session, for the first time in several years, the
Legislature will be in a position to enact substantial tax reform. The
research of the Tax Study Commission will offer a strategy for action and
the presence of a budget surplus will allow a means to act. Before acting
on a new budget, the Governor and Legislature should be sure the action
they will take continues the trend of an overall reduction in tax take as
a percentage of personal income. They should also examine the spending
side to determine if overall public spending is expanding or shrinking as
a percentage of the state's economy.
A more aggressive posture towards redesign of public services can bridge
the gap between the need of the state to reduce taxes and have quality
public services. The League, for several years, has offered suggestions'
for spending public money more efficiently and has sought to offer an
alternative to the choices of less taxes, less service or more taxes, more
services. Without considering the economic impact, a strategy of more
efficient public spending makes good sense. Knowing the economic impact,
it becomes an imperative.
Minnesota should launch a new and continuing effort to gather and analyze
facts bearing on Minnesota's economic performance and the business climate
debate.
A. The goal of the new effort would be threefold:
First, it would generate new data to help the Governor and Legislature
prepare ~olicy generally and to assess the economic impact of past
poiicies.
Second, it would, through research and publication, expand public
consciousness and understanding on public policy-economy issues in
much the same way the Tax Study Commission has clarified and explained
facts on tax policy.
Third, it would offer a possibility of reaching some sort of consensus
on the continuing debate over the state's business climate.
To be sure, the debate will continue, as it should. But the public
would be better served by the debate if the opposing forces were
arguing'from the same set of facts.
For example, the taxes imposed on Minnesota businesses and business
people are a matter of fact rather, than conjecture. And they can.be
compared with those imposed by other states. The debaters can still
disagree about the implications of those taxes and what should be done
about them, but the facts themselves should be unimpeachable.
The escalating level of the tax and regulatory policy debate has
produced some exemplary data-gathering efforts in recent months on the
performance of the Minnesota economy -- notably the work of the
Minnesota Tax Study Commission, the Minnesota Business Partnership and
· the Minneapolis Star and Tribune. Those one-time efforts to
understand where Minnesota is and where it's going need to be
sustained.
The model of the current Tax Study Commission is a good one. Rather
than setting up a new agency or institute, scholars from around the
nation should-be tapped on a contract basis. Many University of
Minnesota experts can offer their expertise. A suitable governing
board to execute the contracts is needed. Such a board should be
independent from government and thereby insulated from direct
political pressure. It should be close enough to government to
recognize the needs of public officials. It should also be
representative of the various sectors of the community. Although
public money might be needed to help pay for the effort, the initial
iinancing should be private and enough of the continuing financing
private to allow political indepdendence.
The Legislature should establish explicit goals and quantitative
objectives to be obtained by the use of the economic development subsidies
it authorizes. Regular program reviews Should be conducted to measure
accomplishments objectively, and program modifications should be adopted
to insure goals are met.
~ne performance of subsidy programs such as industrial revenue bonds, tax
increment financing, border community relief, export financing, and
enterprise zones, is not measured by commonly accepted, quantitative
indicators. Such indicators include real personal income growth and its
personal and geographic distribution.
0bjeqtives couched in terms of these indicators are needed before analysts
can ascertain the relative success of these programs and their cost
effectiveness in achieving their objectives.
Although we believe the analyses of economic development subsidies is a
subject for scholarly research, the setting of responsible, measurable
goals and objectives is a worthy task for the Legislature.
-32-
VI.
One indicator ought to be that the company or industry to be encouraged
actually bring something new to Minnesota, rather than merely shift the
jobs and the investment from one small town industrial park to another
one,
Creation of genuinely new jobs in Minnesota, measurable generation of new
industry revenues, or targeted income gains to certain groups of people
ought to be the goals. If government incentives appear unlikely to
achieve these goals, they should not be attempted. If they are attempted
and measurably fail, they should be abandoned.
The Governor and Legislature should charge the regents of the University
of Minnesota with developing a plan for the University of Minnesota to
become recognized as one of the top public institutions in the nation.
Our committee heard a good deal about the University. Business people
stressed the need for qualified personnel. The impact of university
research on forestry, agriculture and technology industries is clear. The
successful functioning of the institution is therefore important in the
economic success of the state and its people. Because our committee was
not in a position to evaluate all of the various strategies and proposals
for change in the university and other post-secondary systems, we cannot
recommend a specific path to success.
We do, however, propose to those public entities which have the
responsibility for the University's performance -- the Legislature and the
regents -- that they act now to secure the future of the institution and
increase the ability of Minnesotans to succeed economica£1y.
At a time of a change in leadership and increased'attention to education
in the society at large, new initiatives are possible. Moreover, the
university is.likely to see changes in its size and structure as a result
of projected declining enrollments.
The goal for the University of Minnesota should be to achieve recognition
in commonly used measures of performance that places selective coilegies
within among the top programs in the nation.
The regents, as the direct governing board, are the ones to propose a
course of action. The Legislature, because it is responsible to the
public and because it controls state appropriations, must be the group to
evaluate proposed changes and, if necessary, come up with the resourceg
needed to accompiish an ambitious goal.
The Legislature should make sure-that there is a plan in place for the
University of Minnesota to attain the stature necessary to prepare
Minnesotans for a successful future before committing new financial
resources,
A variety of non-financial alternatives is available to enhance the
University's effectiveness. More attention should be paid to output and
efficiency. An automatic connection between more money and better
performance does not exist. At the same time, the possibility of
additional resources -- when a case has been made that they are vital and
will lead to increased performance and enhanced standing -- may be
-33-
Our proposal focuses on the University and not the entire post-secondary
system mainly because the role of the University is unique and central to
economic growth. Clearly, a comprehensive strategy would include
important roles for the other systems, but because no consensus exists
about the roles for other systems, choosing a policy or program is not
possible.
VII. The Governor and Legislature should adopt a strategy to insure Minnesota
high school graduates are competitive with current standards. Various
proposals for major structural reform in education have been advanced.
The Governor and Legislature should~choose among them.
One of the comparative advantages which can be brought to bear by
Minnesota's public sector is the creation of a better educated workforce.
Given the nature of the changes in the economy, human capital's importance
will increase. The one.~public action which has a broad impact on the
workforce in general is the functioning of the school system.
Many recent.studies have identified problems and issues in
elementary-secondary education. The need for better output in that sector
is bound to increase, not decrease.
The League has proposed family-choice, selective deregulation, and a
restoration of the professional status of teachers as a means for spurring
creativity and innovation in schools. Another idea is the imposition of
state-set achivement examinations,~ similar to New York State's Regents
Examinations, to force a greater awareness of academic achievement.
Stricter academic entrance examinations have been proposed for the state's
public colleges and universities as another option.
In late 1984, a spate of new proposals and studies on elementary-secondary
education are before the public.
~rLe Minnesota Business Partnership has proposed a comprehensive, sweeping
package of proposals which would fundamentally alter education's
structure. The Higher Education Coordinating Board proposed changes in
teacher education. A gubernatorial commission on the connection between
education and the economy has developed an agenda for change.
· All of these reports and proposals contain many good ideas and the stated
view that current elementaRy-secondary educational output is not what it
could or should be.
Failure to adopt a major new initiative to enhance educational quality
will put in jeopardy the state's economic future. Relying on past
practices and existing institutional arrangements is folly.

RECENT COUNCIL ACTIONS (March 4-15)
Light Rail Transit-- Light rail transit (LRT) got an important
vote of approval yesterday when the Metropolitan Council
said it is the best way to improve transit service in the
University. Ay. corridor between downtown St. Paul ~nd
downtown Minneapolis. The final decision on whether to build
an LRT line will occur 21 months from now, when prelimi-
nary engineering and financial studies have been done. The
Regional Transit Board estimates the studies to cost from $3
to $4 million. After the studies, construction func;ng would
be sought from the state legislature and other sources.
The Council approved the engineering studies for the
University Ay. corridor and parts of t-wo others. One corridor
is from downtown Minneapolis southwest to Minnetonka,
with preliminary engineering study to be done on a segment
from downtown Minneapolis to Wooddale Ay. in St. Louis
Park. The other corridor is Hiawatha Ay. from downtown
Minneapolis to the airport and beyond.
Solid Waste-The Council adopted a new solid waste man-
agement plan that prohibits the burial of trash after 1990. The
action dropped from consideration 10 potential landfill sites--
four in Carver County and three each in Dakota and Scott
Counties. Eight potential sites remain in Anoka, Hennepin and
Washington Counties.
The plan calls for a coordinated regional system of waste
processing facilities plus recycling and composting services to
reduce the number of new landfills needed by the year 2000
from 15 to 3. Only "residuals"-Iike the ash remaining after
trash is burned--will go to area landfills after 1990. The plan
calls for about 15 percent of the region's solid waste to be
recycled.
Irt another solid waste action, the Council hired Barton-
A~chman Assoc.' to prepare an environmental assessmeht
worksheet on disposing of sewage sludge incinerator ash at
the closed St. Paul Pig's Eye Landfill next to the plant. The
contract is for approximately $15,000. ..
Water Quality-The Council approved an amendment to
the Greenfield comprehensive plan. The city seeks to connect
57 homes (49 existing) in the Lake Saran area to a sewer lead-
ing to the Maple Plain treatment plant via the Independence
and Medina sewer systems. The sewer would end sewage
pollution in Lake Sarah.
The Council decided against an alternative solution of
spraying sewage into an artificial five-acre pond to be built on
agricultural land. The Council action, an exception to its
policy against extending sewers into rural areas, was made
primarily to protect and preserve agricultural land and to save
Greenfield resiOents substantial cost~.
In another action, the Council authorized two interagency
agreements with the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission.
One is for a water quaiity survey of approximately 38 area lakes
and the other is to monitor water quality at Lake McCarrons,
at costs not to exceed S16,000 and S5,000, respectively.
Housing-The Cbuncil voted to submit an application to
the federal Housing and Urban Development agency for funds
to assist 250 Iow income households under the Section.8 rent
assistance program. The Council's Metropolitan Housing and
Redevelopment Authority (Metro H RA) is c'.,rrently providing
assistance to 3,162 households throughout the seven-county
Metropolitan Area and has a waiting list of 2,651 applicants.
The Council also revised its Metro H RA grievance proced-
ures to conform with federal regulations governing the
Se~ion 8 progr:m.
Comprehensive Plans-The Council said Hugo's compre-
hensive plan is consistent with regional plans for growth and
development. The Council urged the city to reconsider the
density planned for residential development in the area served
by sewers, The city is urged to decrease density planned for
its rural area to a maximum of one household per 10 acres.
Airports--q-ne Council said a report by the State Planning
Agency on the Council's authority to review capital projems
of the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) accurately
reflects the Council's position. The law says that the Council
has authority to review MAC capital projects of more than S5
million at the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport and
more than S2 million at the other regional airports. The law
also says no project having a "significant effect on the orderly'
and economic development of the Metropolitan Area" can
begin without Ge Council's approval, The report said there is
no need to change current legislation. The Council agreed,
reserving the right to recommend changes in the future.
PUBLIC HEARINGS, PUBLIC MEETINGS
Parks-The Metropolitan Council will hold a public hearing
April 15, 4 p.m., in the Council offices on a proposed revision
to the capital improvement program for regional recreation
open space. The proposal would redirect $1.6 million currently
allocated for acquisition in Central Mississippi Riverf, ront
Regional Park in Minneapolis to development at the park by
the Minneapolis Park and Recreation 8card. 'f'ne nearing
record will close April :29, with action by the Metropolitan
Parks and Open Space Commission set for May 13, the Metro-
politan Systems Committee for May 20 and Council adcption
May 30.

Board will hold a joint public hearing April 24, at 5 p.m., in
the Council Chambers to get public response to their report,
Prescription for Health: Promoting Health and Prevent/ng
Disease in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area;· The report
identifies nine priority health risks in the Metropolitan Area
and recommends policy and strategies for reducing risks
through health promotion and disease prevention. The risks
are in alcohol use, automobile occupant safety restraints,
environmental health, immunization, nutrition, physical
activity levels, prenatal care, smoking and viole.'nce and abuse.

NEW APPOINTMENT
The Council appointed Susan Kimbert¥, St. Paul, as the
representative to the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission
from District ~,, St. Paul minus the Highland Park area. She
r~laces P~trick Roedler, who resigned. An inde~)endent
financial and management consultant, Kimberly is a former
memuer, and president, of the St. Paul City Council and has
been vice president for personal finance at Piper, Jeffrey and
Hopwood, Inc.
MWCC CHAIR ENDORSES MANAGEMENT
STUDY RECOMMENDATIONS
The chair of the Metropolitan WasTe Control Commission
(MWCC) this week outlined a series of steps he will urge the
commission to take to continue improvements begun in recent
months in its internal structure and operations.
Peter Meintsma made the statement in response to a
recently released management study of the MWCC by Touche
Ross & Co. The report makes 75 recommendations in 19 areas
related to agency organization, management and operation,
but does not rank the issues in order of importance.
Meintsma said five major priority areas are: changes in
organizational structure, improved communications with
communities served by the MWCC, improved long-range
planning, evaluation of the MWCC rate structure, and
implementation of a data processing system.
The MWCC hired the consulting firm to conduct the study
in response to a recommendation in a 1983 report on the
agency requested by Gov. Rudy Perpich.
PLANNING CONFERENCE IS MARCH 31

nonmembers. Hotel reservation is extra. For more information,
call Mary Sadek, Government Tra;ning Service, at 222-7409.
'HEALTH VOTE' IS UNDER WAY
An intense information and education campaign on ways to
contain soarh;9 health care costs began this month.
The campaign is called "Health Vote." It's a neutral, non-
partisan effort conducted primarily through the news media to
help Twin Citians understand complex issues of cost and
effectiveness in health care. It will culminate with. a region-
wide vote April 10 on ballots to be sent to about 800,000
households.
More than 200 community meetings and three "town hall"
meetings are leading up to the vote. Remaining town hall
meetings will be held as follows: March 20, Long-Term Care,
7-8:30 p.m., Landmark Center, 75 W. 5th St., St. Paul; and

EMPLOYMENT AND EARNINGS CONDITIONS
The number of nonagricultural wage and
salary jobs in the Twin Cities area
fell from December to January, but the
decrease was less than usual for this
time of year. January is the month
which typically shows the largest em-
ployment declines as cold weather cur-
tails construction activity and the
holiday shopping season terminates. The
construction industry witnessed its
smallest January drop since records began
in 1970. Employment in this sector
continues to exceed year-ago levels by
huge margins and has finally recovered
all of the jobs lost during the last
set of recessions. It has taken an
extraordinarily long five years to reach
this milestone. Other Portions of the
local economy exhibiting continued
strength this winter include wholesale
trade, the hospitality group (eating
and drinking places/lodging and re-
creation/ and legal and other pro-
fessional services. Like the national
economy, it has been services which have
contributed to real employment gains
while manufacturing has had its dif-
ficulties. On a seasonally adjusted
basis, growth in this sector stalled
this month. Large layoffs at Whirlpool,
Pako, and Brockway contributed heavily
to the sharp January loss. In addition,
both fabricated metals and textiles &
apparel are undergoing steady declines
in numbers. Gains in other manufacturing
industries have occurred, but they were
not- large enough in January to make
up for the losses.

President's Letter:
The pace is picking up. If you haven't received
your Chamber Directory, you will soon. Notice
the increase in number of listings and. ad space as
well as the two-color center section. Note the
April and May schedule of Chamber activities.
If you're itching to learn more about
government's involvement in your business,
hearing interesting speakers, meeting folks in
your and nearby communities, participating in
fun family activities, or expanding your customer
base, then satisfy the itch and get involved in the
Chamber.
This month's calendar offers several choices to
get involved. Highlights: hear and see about
Canterbury Downs on April 17 at the General
Membership Meeting; bring the kids and help
clean up the spring yuk during Operation' Clean
Sweep on April 27.
Hottest rumor: Conversion of the Tonka Toys
facility to a gambling casino. Why should Ely,
MN have a monopoly?
Steve Wood, President
W'~'~EW!! The 1985 Westonka Business

"Commercial Crime"
A very special Thank You to our Police Chiefs
Mel Kilbo, Lcn Harrell and Tim Thompson for
providing us with such an excellent program for
March meeting. Sergeant Bill Huctson clicl a
job as Len's stand-in (Len was presiding
over a Police Reserve graduation). It's a shame
that so few retailers were there because the
speakers had lots of helpful information on bad
checks and theft, it was obvious that those
members who took the time and made the effort
to attend felt well rewarded!
Joint Chambers Meeting
We are the hosts!!! of a first ever joint meeting
on Tuesday., May 21, at the Lafayette Club. Our
Chamber will be inviting the membership of the
Wayzata, Excelsior, Long Lake and Waconia
Chambers to join us for what we hope will be an
annual event! The guest speaker for this special
occasion, thanks to the efforts of Mary Powell
and Miki Banavige at the Wayzata Chamber, will
be Minneapolis Police Chief Tony Bouza. So clear
your calendar for noon on May 21! (This will re-
place our regular Wednesday monthly meeting.)

~r Welcome to Paul Ostergaard, new owner of

working for him during my "McChic'n years" and
know that he will be an asset to our community!
,~ Captain Billy's ReStaurant and Bar next to

Good luck to owner Bill Alexander, who has
done a super job with the concept and interior
design!
~r Can't wait for Stevens Market to open this
month--that part of town is really coming alive!
~r Isn't the new building at 2434 Commerce go-
lng to be stunning? J.J.'s Printing is already
settled in there and ready for business and to

Attention all Retailers and Professionals
Operation: Clean-Sweep will also have a cou-
ple of new twists this year.
FIRST: A number of Chamber members are par.
ticipating in a promotion starting April 9th as an
insert in the Laker, This will feature the new
Westonka T-shirts-with-the-Goose as premiums
and a drawing for a VCR at 9:00 a.m. at the
Clean-Sweep breakfast. The promotion had
two goals: 1) to introduce area customers to
new businesses and 2) to develop a
community-oriented product (the T-shirts).
T-shirts are not now available for sale. A
decision regarding pricing and availability
for sales, to the public will be made by the
committee and the Board after this promo-
tion. Committee members were: Lynette
McCullough (Lynette's), Helen Daum
(Navarre Ceramics), Sandy Bothern
(McDonald's), Clara Paz (Dueber's V&S),
Gus Knott (Town & Country Foods), Dave
Klein (Video One) and John Royer (Ben
Franklin).
SECOND: Mary Pauly will be "seeding"
the Operation: Clean.Sweep areas with fun
incentives (gift certificates, food coupons,
whatever?) for the workers. She needs gift
certificates and prizes from area busi-
nesses-please t.ake the initiative and
make her job easier by contacting her
with your contributions right away!
All children should be accompanied by
an adult! Please call Mary (472-1119, 8-4 M-
-F) if you have any questions or suggestions.
Remember, breakfast is offered to the whole,
community, so come join us even if you canno
participate in Clean-Sweep.
Just as a way of saying
Thank You!

consists of young married couples, with an average age of 33 years. This average age is the
same as the avera,oe abe of the post World War il buyers. This fact helps to disprove some
theories that suggest that the market has moved vertically up, and now serves the upgrade
market.
Yuppies, despite all the press hype, are no different than their parents according to Forbes.
Per capita, Yuppies spend no more on personal luxuries than young people have over the
past 30 years. Today's young spenders have a different style but no greater volume. The
major purchasers of high status products are still the middle aged.
If test marketing this spr~n.g is successful, potential home buyers may soon be able to
prequalify for a mortgage at their localK-mart. Once the program is begun, a potential buyer
could fill out a financial information questionnaire in the financial services section of K-mart.
Then, while the customer shopped, a computer print-out would be readied, showing the
maximum that shopper could qualify to borrow. The potential home buyer would be given-
a "credit card" he/she could show to realtors or builders when shopping for a home to buy.
Builders would see the card as providing assurance of an ultimate closing.
To build confidence among first time home buyers, a Pittsburgh real estate broker has
begun to offer clients a one-year money-backguarantee on the homes they buy. For a fee of
0.75 percent of the home purchase price, the company will guarantee that a buyer can
recover 100 percent of his/her purchase price in the first year of ownership if the decision
is made to sell. For the first months, the firm tries to sell the house, but if no buyer is found,
the company buys the house at the gua'~anteed price and pays the closing costs. During the
first two years of testing the program, 38 out of the 325 buyers in the program elected to sell.
A significant increase in the ranks of the nation's elderly and super-elderly are among
trends expected to create new opportunities for residential construction, according to the
National Association of Home Builders long range planning report. The number of Americans
over age 65 will double early in the next century. The proportion of retirees over age 85 will
quadruple during the same period. No single age group of the U.S. population has more
financial clout than people 65 years and older. This age group, concerned about their medical
needs, will foster a new boom in multi-family, rental, condominium and cooperative projects
that include restaurant, cultural and nursing care facilitiesmplus a relationship with a nearby
hospital. :
Personal income rose 81/2 percent in 1984--the highest gain in 11 years. Jack Carlson,
chief economist for the National Association of Realtors, says that by the end of 1985, half
the nation's households may have sufficient income to buy the median price existing home.

"1985 COULD PRODUCE THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT GAIN IN
HOME RESALE VALUES IN MANY MARKETS SINCE 1979."
Kenneth Harney, the nation's housing
While housing starts in Minneapolis and St. Paul
don't reach hi§h peaks, they never lumble into deep
valleys either. Our area is a steady dependable market
that ~]oes well in bad limes and good. Over the past 15
years, our area has avera§ed 15,000 starts a year with a
five year average high of 16,849 in 1970-74 and a Iow of
14,260 in the 1980-84 period.
While Minneapolis has not experienced dramatic
opulation shifts, the Twin Cities did §row 0.7 percent
et'ween 1970 and 1980. When population fi§ures are
compiled in 1990, the area should rank 12th in the nation.
Our Metropolitan Area has a Iow unemployment
ra:e and economic diversity. The area continues to
attract medical centers, hi~h-tech companies and
Fortune 500 companies. Thus, recessions don't hit as
hard or cut as deep as the), do in cities dependent on
n]~ a few indu_~tr;es.
Economi_~s predict an 8.6 percent upswing in the
, te-famiiy market in the nexl five years. Minneapolis/
S~. Pa u l is a ~ rt-a t place lo live--even if we aren't famous
f,;r our mild .climates.
