The next year, 1974-75, will be a crucial one for the League -- our first full year as an independent organization. Under our new Constitution, we will elect a full slate of officers and directors on June 14 at Duluth, to guide the League as it develops and defines its policies and priorities. This board will bear the policy-making responsibility for an organization whose budget (including grant programs) is now about $400,000 yearly. Given these circumstances, we -,feel that.we must have the best representation possible and that the Board must include representatives of all the diverse groups -- large and small municipalities, different parts of the state, and elected and appointed officials -- that form the League. The Nominating Committee is planning to hold its first meeting early in May and it would be helpful to have your input by May 1. If you know an official who should be considered for nominations, please give his or her name and a resume of qualifications to the League staff or one of the members of the Nominating Committee ('see OVER ). This communication can be as informal as you wish; a phone call is all that is needed. Our goal is to make sure that any good candidate is considered. Whether or not to let an individual know that you are submitting his or her name is of course up to you, but it should be with the understanding that as with any group not every good 3andidate is nominated for a variety of reasons. In any event, the Nominating Committee itself makes it a practice to confirm the. fact that an individual is willing to serve before presenting his or her name to the annual meeting. On behalf of the Nominating Committee, I want to thank you in advance for your help and to assure you that all suggestions will be seriously considered. Sincerely, an Vernard E.

At its last meeting, the Commission recommended the appointment of a chairperson to organize the ceremony and recommended that the ceremony be held during the last part of June, 1974. Mrs. Dorothy Hughes has volunteered to serve as chairperson of this committee. The Auxiliary of the volunteer fire department has indicated an interest in helping as have other citizens. It is the current intention that the ceremony should be self-supporting from donations, however, it may be necessary to use a minimal amount of park funds. We intend to have a tennis tournament, children's activities, fireworks, etc., but complete details cannot be finalized until a committee is formed. If you need additional information I would be glad to discuss the matter with the Council. We have been and will continue to work with Orvil Johnson on the ceremony. Recently I noted that federal regulations have been or will be adopted concerning the use of fireworks. I believe that the use of such fireworks will be prohibited except for civic festivities. In order to obtain fireworks it may be necessary for the Council to authorize their use at our ceremony, therefore, we would greatly appreciate it if the Council, at an early meeting, would adopt a resolution authorizing the use of fireworks at a park dedication ceremony. We feel that this is an important part of our ceremony (I believe members of the Volunteer Fire Department have expressed an interest in helping in this area.) CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES April 23, 1974 The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Planning Commission was called to order at 8:00 o'clock P.M., Tuesday, April 23, 1974 by Chairwoman Ridder.

The Commission requested Mr. Genz return with definite plans on how the land should be divided and also a drainage plan with the assistance of an Engineer.

NEIGHBORHOOD DISRUPTION City Planner Barbara Lukermann explained ON T.H. #55 to the Commission the neighborhood disruption around the Highway #55 area. There are plans in the making to widen T.H. #55. Tfhe problem area would be on the east side of Highway #55, south of Victory Avenue where there are 26 homes that would be affected. When the Highway is widened, those 26 homes will either have to have a frontage road so they will have access for school busses and police and fire protection, or have Resurrection Cemetery purchase the, land. Administrator Johnson and Planner Lukermann have met with the Resurrection Cemetery Representatives and plan to meet with the Acacia Cemetery Representatives in the near future to further discuss this problem. Chairwoman Ridder requested that Barbara Lukermann go ahead with her study and get more information and maps. The Commission also suggested that a neighborhood informational meeting be held in the said neighborhood. !!PM OTHER MATTERS Culligan moved that a letter of appreciatio be sent to member Stewart since her appointment on the Commission has term- inated.

The sign was never approved by the Planning Commission nor the City Council. The letter would remind Mr. Sheehy of the normal procedure of sign approval. Such a letter is to be drafted by Administrator Johnson. Wheeler moved that Barbara Lukermann review and make a report on the various regulations of the present subdivision ordinance, noting any suggestions or changes for Planning Commission and Council consideration.

CITY COUNCIL CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS By Donald L. Huber Mayor ATTEST: G.M. Radabaugh Clerk -Treasurer :a CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO TO: City Council FROM: Orvil J. Johnson City Administrator April 26, 1974 SUBJECT: Volunteer Firemen's Relief Pension Benefits As you may recall, on June 19, 1973 the City Council adopted by resolution the provisions of Chapter 173, Laws 1973 relating to firemen's service pensions. However, at that time the Council did not approve the Association bylaw revisions to implement the increased benefits.. There was some question at that time as to the financing ability of funding a larger group of volunteer firemen plus other questions. Since June, 1973 the Relief Association has had another actuarial report prepared. This was received March 11, 1974. It indicates that retirees of a thirty man department could receive $109 per month after twenty years of service for a total funding cost of $14,949.00 per year. This type of report was prepared despite the fact that special state law allows only $80 per month for twenty years of service. I have contacted the State Retirement Commission as concerns the filed reports and their opinion. An unofficial guesstimate from them reveals that an annual cost based on several new funding criteria for a thirty man department should cost some $9,000 to $10,000 a year. Past actuarial reports have been based on an annual cost of some $14,500 to $15,000 per year. In other words, the authorized retirement plan of $80 per month for twenty years of service with thirty men would be approximately $5,000 less than past funding consisting of State Aids and tax levy. It is my opinion that we can financially fund the $80 per month plan for the thirty men and in fact increase the fire department if necessary, still staying within levies as practiced in the past. There may be some reason to discuss future levies for firemen's relief. There is no established municipal pattern of levies for firemen's relief, they vary all the way from .1 mils to over 1 mil. A conservative approach would be to authorize the $80.00 plan and consider an adjustment in tax levies for 1975 which would be financially sound. I would recommend adoption of the attached resolution. The By-law revisions were supplied by Wilfred Dehrer, Association Secretary. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS Dakota County, Minnesota RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION APPROVING FIREMEN'S RELIEF ASSOCIATION BYLAWS AMENDMENTS WHEREAS, on January 2, 1973 the Mendota Heights City Council approved the concept of increased Volunteer Firemen Service Pensions; and WHEREAS, on June 19, 1973 the City Council adopted Resolution Number 73-50, approving Chapter 173, Laws 1973 relating to Firemen's Service Pensions; and WHEREAS, the Fire Relief Association has submitted amendments to the Relief Association Bylaws, Article VII, Service Pensions, revising Sections One and Three, and adding Section Five as follows: "Section 1.
