CAPITAIa IMPROVEN�NTS PLAN
Administrative Assistant Batchelder stated this month the
Parks and Recreation Commission would be reviewing Roger's
Lake Park and Mendakota Park for infrastructure and
replacement needs in the capital improvements planning
processe Batchelder stated the request for additional
irrigation extensions at Mendakota Park that the Commission
had received in September from Parks Leadperson Terry Blum had
been held over until this meeting and that this item should be
considered as well. He stated that in addition to the capital
improvements planning that the Commission was obligated to
review parking and traffic, as requested by City Council.
Commissioner Norton inquired if there was a history to the
fact that the parking lot at Roger's Lake was not pavede
Batchelder stated that in consideration of park improvements
during the referendum planning Roger's Park was decided to be
left in a rural, unpaved state. Parks Project Manager
Kullander stated there are no active fields at the park and
that it was felt that paving this particular parking lot was
not necessary and the City could save money. Batchelder
stated other parks had received paving for their parking lots
mainly due to the fact that there was a dust problem near
residential homes.
The Commission considered the list of improvements and
replacement items for Roger's Lake Park. Kullander stated
that this park receives some level of vandalism from time-to-
time, including the burning of two park benches this past
summer .
Kullander reviewed the list of possible future improvements to
Roger's Lake Park including:
1. Removing the wooden bridge to the picnic shelter and
replacing with bituminous walkway for American with
Disability Act standards and because of maintenance
concerns.
2. Install fire pits with the options being steel fire pits
� or stone and concrete enclosures.
3. Additional horseshoe pits.
4. Pave the access driveways and parking areas.
5. Clearing out the brush along the trails for better
visibility.

The Commission discussed fire pits in Roger's Lake Park and an
upgrade to a stone and concrete enclosure around a large pit
that could accommodate barbecues and small bonfireso Morgan
stated that Roger' s Lake Park is the City' s picnic park mainly
because of the location of volleyball, tennis, hard court,
picnic shelter, the lake view and the trail. She stated this
picnic shelter is rented almost every weekend during the warm
months of the year.
The Commission discussed the driveway and the unpaved parking.
Kullander stated that in the past the consensus was to keep
the driveway unpaved and the parking lot in a rural and
unimproved condition. Kullander described the ADA upgrades
that would be necessary for trails and transfer points.
Kullander stated that there is one new play structure in
Roger's Lake Park and one play structure which was renovated
at the time of the referendum. Kullander stated the tennis
court in Roger's Lake Park has cracks that need to be sealed
every year and if the City gets into another cycle of
resurfacing tennis courts Roger's Lake Park should be first on
the list.
Commissioner Damberg inquired about improving the quality of
the lake and having a beach at Roger's Lake Park. Kullander
stated the lake is very shallow and susceptible to weeds and
algae growth. Commissioner Norton stated that lake quality
issue was an issue that the City's Parks and Recreation
Commission should be more involved with. Commissioner Damberg
stated that educational efforts could be done by the City to
help improve the water quality in the lakes and pending areas
within the City. The Commission inquired if City Engineer
Rlayton Eckles could address the topic of water quality, non-
point source pollution and steps the City can take to help the
water quality in the City at a future park meeting.
Commissioner Linnell stated he would like to see the benches
that are proposed to be removed be replaced and not just
removed. Kullander stated the park crews would like to see
the benches placed on concrete pads if they are not removed to
facilitate the ease of mowing grass.
The Commission discussed • proposed future improvements,
replacement and infrastructure for Mendakota Park. Kullander
stated he has estimated that the lighting of the five sports
fields at Mendakota Park will cost approximately $175,000.
Kullander described the list of posaible future improvements
to Mendakota Park as:

and, if lights are provided, does this double the amount of
playing time.
Commissioner Spicer responded that lights would extend the
season during the spring and fall so that evening play was not
limited to a few months in the summero Spicer stated that
adult softball leagues currently end in the last week in July
and that adding lights would not only double the playing time
in the evening during the summer but would allow fall and
spring leagues.
Commissioner Kleinglass stated that spring and fall leagues
would be for adults only and that children are in school at
this time. Kleinglass stated that providing lights would lead
to the commercialization of the programs with more adult
programs being offered and provided. Commissioner Kleinglass
stated if the City is going with more adult programs we should
not be lighting fields unless these programs are paying for
the lighting. Recreation Programmer Morgan stated that each
adult softball league more than pays for itself and generates
some revenue.
Kullander explained that the maintenance building, proposed on
the list for future improvements, would allow City crews to
work at night and on the weekends with the Cushman and the
equipment which is needed to grade and drag the fields, if
lights warrant a higher level of park crew activity.
Kullander stated that the basketball court is starting to wear
and could use a resurfacing in the near future.
Kullander described his proposals for allowing the fields to
be adapted for baseball at Mendakota Park, based on our
experience with foul balls last summer. He explained that one
option is to add hoods onto the existing backstops . He stated
that this has not proven to be very successful in the past.
Kullander stated the existing backstops could be extended in
height and then further extended by adding vertical netting.
Rullander stated that maintenance is a headache with netting
and that half the foul balls will probably still come over any
extension of netting. Kullander stated that a curved backstop
that is twenty-five feet deep and extending out over the home
plates would collect all of the foul balls. Kullander stated
the idea of providing netting strung from the backstop to the
comfort station was an idea which staff had considered and

rej ected due to the high level of maintenance and
that this netting would have to be attached to the
station. Rullander stated the comfort station
designed to accommodate guy wires as an attachment.

necessary in this area. Kullander repeated that this park
would be appropriate for a higher use because of the rest room
facilities. Kullander stated there is no "draw�� to the park
right now, as there are no facilities for people to use.
Commissioner Spicer inquired about tennis courts in southern
Mendota Heights. He stated he can see this park having some
type of picnic facilities, tennis court and a green area.
Commissioner Linnell stated there are picnic shelters in South
Rensington Park and it probably should not be duplicated in
this location.
Commissioner Linnell stated that some parking should be
provided to get the cars off of Mendota Heights Road at this
park. Linnell inquired if there is a half court facility in
this vicinity. Kullander stated there is a half basketball
court at Frieridly Hills Park and at Hagstrom-King Park.
Commissioner Spicer stated that a tennis court is the only
facility which is not in close proximity to the new
construction in this area. Kullander stated that Hagstrom-
King had an area graded for tennis, however, he felt that one
or the other park should receive tennis but not both.
Kullander stated that any horseshoe pits would be most
appropriate near trees, in the shade, by a setting conducive
to picnicking.
Commissioner Libra stated that Hagstrom-King has more
potential for picnic type activities due to its natural
setting. Commissioner Spicer stated that there were not a lot
of natural amenities in North Rensington, but that tennis,
parking, horseshoes, plantings, berms, and the trail with the
rest open grass area would seem appropriate. Libra stated
that he felt the Homeowner's Associations in Kensington may
desire open space for kite flying, tossing a ball or frisbee,
type activities.
The Parks and Recreation Commission directed staff to work on
concept plans that would show tennis, parking, plantings,
berms and trail with open space in North Kensington Park for
the Commission to review and possibly present to the public in
neighborhood meetings to solicit input.

Conditional Use Permit to const�ct a Marriott motel just east of the Courtyard mot�

and approval by the City's Code P.nforcement Officers and Fire Marshal.
This new motel is initially to be for the exclusive use of Northwest Airlii
their agreement with Northwest, Northwest asked that Tharaldson add a spa, a s
kitchen and eight more sleeping rooms. All of these additions can be made with ]
change to the building. The eight rooms can be added by decreasing each of the E
6 inches and adding four feet to the south end of the building -- this will have ne
the grading, landscaping and exterior appearance, and will have no effect on the
Although these changes will have little effect on the building, it is a departure

before the changes can be incorporated. The resolution approving the conditional �
plan and variances for a motel specifically refers to 117 units. I also feel th�
resolution should be amended to reflect the new number of units.
RECOMIVV�ENDATION:
I feel that the proposed changes are all minor and recommend that the

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
TO: Mayor, City Council, City

FROM: Kathleen M. Swanso�
City Clerk
SUBJECT: Computer Purchase
INFORMATION
MEMO
Administr
November 11,�
The 1993 Administration department budget includes
the purchase on one computer and miscellaneous computer
for a total capital budget of $4,500: approximately $3,8
remains une�cpended. As part of the 1994 budget preparati
process, it was determined that it would be more cost ef
and efficient to begin a program for replacing existing
with state-of-the-art equipment instead of upgrading exi
computers. The proposed 1994 budget for Administration
funding to purchase a new network server and several sta
The purpose of this memo is

computer for the City Clerk.
DISCUSSION

The existing IBM PS-2 computer which I use was purc
through an agreement with the state in 1989 - the state
of the cost of the computer and a laser printer. As par
agreement, the city was required to maintain MSA softwar

serves a very important function as the back-up to the n
server. As such, it must have similar processor speed a
storage capacity as the server. So that the transition
server can occur without significant down-time or proble
network users, this computer must be replaced and set up
the new server.
The PS-2 computer is used extensively for desktop p
and spreadsheet applications. As an example, the "Heigh
Highlites" is prepared on this computer and delivered as
ready copy to the printers. This use, combined with serv
back-up to the network server, require far greater drive
capacity, memory, processor speed and video capability t
normal network stations. For these reasons, a replaceme
computer system will be much more costly than the statio

are anticipated to be purchased in 1994. Purchasing �he
replacement in 1993, however, will significantly reduce t
of a new server next year. The two-year ald hard-drive i
same type and siza as that in the existing server, Bath
drives will be removed and will be placed in �he new serv
PS-2 will be placed into service as a network sta�ion, an
serve well in that capacity for some �ime.
I reguested guotes from five vendors, including the
of the �tate cantract, and received quotes from three of
vendars for a minimum computer sys�.em requirement and foz
alternates which would dramatically enhance the camputer'
capabilities and signi�icantly minimize the need for �'utu
upgrades. If the alternates are not purchased as part a#
package, it is likely that they will be needed and reque�
within the next two years. The cast in the future will x
greater, since the alternates would replace equipment bei
purchased in the base system. Although the Administratic
capital equipment budget is not adequate to support the c
the upgrades, $6,052 remains in the equipment repair and
maintenance line item. It is highly unlikely that there
significant expense against this line item before year's
2 propose that the cast far alternates be charged against
line item. Although the cost is significant, the compute
designed with alternatesj is cost effective, neededr and,
believe, justifiable.
RECQMMENDATION
I recommend that Cauncil authorize the purchase of
computer system, with alternates, from the low bidder, S�
Camputer and Printer Repair, Tnc. Spectrum has serviced
computers for several years and is a reliable vendor.
ACTION REOUIRED
If Council concurs in the recom�nendation, it should
motion �o authorize issuance o�' a purchase order to Spect
Camputer and Printer Repair, Inc., for its low quote of y
for an IBM compatible computer system with alternates in
accordance with its quote and the prepared specification.

Subject: Lot 4, Block 6, Coppe
3rd Addition, Mendota
Dear Mr. Ryan:
, We were authorized to prepare a feasibility study�foz
_ constructing a drain tile line between the above referencE
property and the existing storm sewer. The nearest storm
�is�at the intersection.of Pond View Drive and Waters Edge
� Terrace. This report presents our findings.
HISTORY
The subject house is owned by Mr. Phil Cohen. He co�
Dick Putnam, the developer's representative, in August 19�
a complaint about his sump pump running excessively. Sch�
� Madson, Inc. was authorized to do a limited topographic s�
the site. This information was sent to you in May of 199;
Mr. Cohen contacted you again. American Engineering Test:
Inc. performed some hand auger probes and water sample an<
during July and August 1992. This report addresses their
recommendation of connecting the sump pump to the storm sE
system.
6ITE DESCRIPTION
The backyard is approximately four feet lower than t
garage. The site slopes gently from south to north. The
drainage, as shown on the grading plan, was designed to g�
across the backyards of the neighboring lots. The soils ;
reported by American Engineering consist of topsoil over �

Waters Edge Terrace is at an elevation of 842.9. The difference
in elevation between the site and the catch basin will provide an
adequate slope of 1.8� for the proposed drain tile. The pipe
would be buried four to five feet deep. There is a buried
electric trunk line on the south side of Pond View Drive. The
gas and telephone are on the north side of Pond View Drive.
There is a gas service which crosses the proposed route and the
telephone trunk line crosses the proposed route near the catch
basin. There is a concrete sidewalk along the south side of Pond
View Drive. The proposed pipe could be placed between the
sidewalk and the curb if the electric cable is buried south of
the sidewalk or the pipe can be placed south of the sidewalk if
the cable is between the sidewalk and curb. This will simplify
construction.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
' The proposed outfall connection would consist of a 4" PVC
pipe wrapped in filter fabric laid on a layer of filter rock.
The pipe would be connected to the storm sewer at the corner of
Porid View Drive and Waters Edge Terrace and be placed in the
public right-of-way along Pond View Drive up to the back of Lot
5, Block 6 Copperfield 3rd. The pipe would be placed in the
dra�inage and ut�ility easement along the back line of Lot. 5 up to
� the subject property. American Engineering recommended
constructing a cut-off trench along the back•.of the house. The
pipe would be placed 15 to 20 feet from the back of the house
with the invert of the pipe below the basement slab. The trench
would be lined with a geotextile fabric with six inches of filter
rock placed below the pipe and two feet of rock placed around and
over the top of the pipe. The filter fabric would be wrapped
�' over the rock before the trench is backfilled with.sand. The
sand would be placed to within a foot of the surface. The upper
foot of backfill should consist of a layer of compacted clay
under the topsoil and sod. The clay barrier is intended to
reduce direct surface infiltration.
The house sumps could be connected to the drain tile or else
the sump pump discharge lines could be connected to the drain
line�through a small catch basin constructed over the drain tile
line.

wrapped pipe would be laid in the trench without any rock r

This project is feasible, easements exist along the p.
route, no additional easements would be required. America.
Engineering recommended looking at connecting to the storm
along Huber Drive which is west of the site. We looked at
alternative. The pipe lengths are similar, however, easem
across Lots 2 and 3 would be required since the existing
easements on Lots 2 and 3 are wooded. This alternate is p;
not feasible due to the added cost of acquiring easements.

SUBJECT: Supplemental Information to Friendly Hills Feasibility Report
. Job No. 9221
DI5CUSSION:
At the November 2nd hearing, there were additional questions regarding the
�roject. There were several questions regarding storm water problems and subsurface
problems. Council requested information on the design of Decorah Lane as well. �
information on NSP system improvements was requested. Finally the possibility of �
overlay of Hazel Court to the project was suggested. All these issues will be
separately in this memo. Also a summary of the letters and petitions received sinc
meeting will be provided.

The storm problems in the neighborhood were a major concern of the Council. Staff has
looked at the Radke drainage, the bank drainage, the old fire station drainage, drainag from the
Mendakota Park, and drainage on Mohican Lane.
The drainage problem near Radke and the bank could be partially fixed with ut doing
the full project. Some enhancements to the existing system could be made and more pipe and
pickups could be added at the north end of Aztec. However, without the full proj t all the
water would still arrive at this point by surface flow, so there would still be large v lumes of
surface water ponding up in this area. The additional cost of doing this work with ut a full
project could be a problem.
There is also a problem further up the hill from the bank, in the back yard of
office and day care facility. Too much water is flowing in this area at once. Thi
could be improved without doing a full project and without adding a lot of pipe, but
costs would have to be covered. By improving the new fire station parking lot a
holding pond the rate of flow could be reduced. Also a small berm could be constn
of the bank that would insure all run off drains through the bank parking lot inste�
yards.
At the meeting there was concern raised about the drainage that comes off tY
station site and runs down to Fox Place. In order to make any substantial improveme
system, storm sewer is required. Therefore fixing this problem is not feasible without
entire reconstruction project. If the entire project is completed, it will be a simple
extending storm pipe to pick up the runoff.

In a similar way, the cross culvert that drains the Mendakota Park can be p' ked up if
the full project is completed. Without a full project that includes storm sewer, there i little that
can be done to eliminate the present situation.
One final area where surface water was a concern was on Mohican Cou . When
Bridgeview Shores 3rd Addition was built Mohican Court was extended and curb d gutter
installed. Where the curb meets the old rural street the curb empties its water into he yards.
There are some people on Mohican Court who are upset because of this situation. Th re is little
that can be done to remedy the situation without a full project including curb and gu; er.
Subsurface Water
Many homes in the Friendly Hills area experience subsurface water probl
problems are the result of a variety of factors, including high ground water
conditions, inadequate drain tile systems, and poor drainage. Installation of a
system will not address all these factors, but it could help in some areas.
In order to better address this problem, the original storm design has bf

Whatever we do, one thing is certain, although we may alleviate or reduce th problem�
in some areas, there will still be problems after the project. A storm sewer project c n't hope
to eliminate all subsurface water problems all by itself. Every property is different, and each
may require a different solution.
Decorah Lane Design
Council requested more information on the design of Decorah Lane. Originally we were
looking at two alternatives, a 38 foot wide street or a 32-33 foot wide street. Becau e of the
small front yards on Decorah and only 60 feet of right-of-way, a 38 foot street doe n't seem
practical. Therefore a 33 foot wide street is recommended. Parking would be permitt on only
one side of the street.
In order to reduce speeds on Decorah and protect pedestrians, I suggest we consider
striping the street to delineate the parking lane. This would have the affect of reducing he space
available for driving lanes, and thus lower speeds a bit. Currently the 30 foot wide blacktop
provides 15 feet for each traffic lane. If we stripe the parking lane off, each car will nly have
11 feet. With less maneuvering room, speeds should be less.
Another alternative discussed was the possibility of adding "Bump Outs' at the
intersections. A bump out is just a narrowing of the parking lane at the intersections in order
to keep cars from driving in the parking lane. Bump outs have the disadvantage of pushing
bikes into the drive lane. Also bump outs aze difficult for snow plows. A good s' ing job
should have the same affects as bump outs without the disadvantages.
Another aspect of the Decorah Design that warrants discussion is the intersect on with
Dodd Road and Wagon Wheel Trail. The feasibility report suggested that Decorah be 'gned
so that it intersects straight across from Wagon Wheel Trail. This would provi e a safer
intersection, but it is not mandatory. Actually we have two other options; do nothing or realign
Decorah further north, away from Wagon Wheel Trail. Normally cross intersecti ns should
either line up or be at least 150 feet off set; the cunent alignment is neither. Perhaps this issue
daes not need to be resolved during the feasibility stage, but could wait until we see what
happens with the project.
The only other issue that came up regarding street design was the issue of tre�
The question of how much tree damage would result from the project came up again
meeting. Since a complete reconstruction project would only involve widening
enough to get curb and gutter installed, there would be very few trees removed as a re
project. Most trees are 10-15 feet back from the street, well out of harms way.
NSP Improvements
At the meeting, Council requested more information on a joint project wit
talked to NSP staff about changing meters, upgrading gas lines, and other improve�r
response was that if we have a project in the neighborhaod, NSP will carefully a
existing system and if it appears that the gas system might need any repairs or change
in the future, then the improvements will be done in conjunction with our project. I �
any specifics from NSP staff for two reasons. First, we don't know what type of pro
doing yet. Second, the decision must be made by NSP upper management, which will
time.
Hazel Court
Another issue that came up was a request to overlay Hazel Court. Mr.
requested that Council include Hazel Court in the Friendly Hills project because it is
and the blacktop is rundown. Hazel Court has curb and gutter and storm sewer, b
years old. it could use an overlay.
Since Hazel Court meets our City standards, the cost to overly would be sub;
our reconstruction policy. Accordingly 50 � of the overlay cost would be paid by
Therefore each lot would only be assessed $750. This is another advantage to the hor
who live on streets that meet City standards. If Friendly Hills is reconstructed, the
work is done in the neighborhoad the City would help pay for the work. In order
Hazel Court, we will need to hold a separate hearing to discuss the issue.
Letters and Petitions
Since the last meeting we have received many more letters and petitions. As
November 12th, 19 letters and 3 petitions have heen received. Of the 191etters, 9 a�

Subject: Friendly Hills Street Reconstruction
HIayton Eckles, P.E.
City of Mendota Heights
1101 Victoria Curve
Mendota Heights, MN 55118
Dear Mr. HIayton:
Unfortunately, your November lst letter did not come in time for us
make plans to attend the meeting. We do have an opinion on this matter,
however.
When we bought our home 3 years ago we were influenced by the
absence of the "suburbia" look in an area so close to St. Paul. We don't want
street lights, sidewalks, etc. While we do recognize the need for street wor
and curb and gutter is the standard in new housing developrnents, it is a �
expensive proposal in a time when many of us are struggling under ever
increasing t� and personal financial responsibilities.
We recently refinanced to reduce our mortgage payments. The savi gs
did not give us extra income, it merely allowed us to maintain our present
standard of living. My husband's employer has had a wage freeze in effect r 2
years, we have a daughter in college, a son in high school, and a new chil 3
monfihs old. The grocery bill increases steadily and we now pay daycare so I
can continue to work. In addition to this, the schools want more ta�c dollar to
maintain their present level of education.
We would like the proposed street reconstruction Council to be sen itive
to the many personal circ�amstances that residents of Friendly Hills live wi .
Our preferred solution would be to widen and resurface the streets
a cement extension tu dir�.t;t water i•urioff. Tnis is a rniddle-of the road solu
that addresses the needs �f our area, while not putting unreasonable finan
burdens on the residents.
Sincerely,
Mark and Sharon Lemke

Improvement No. 92, Project No.6
Dear Councilmember Huber,
We would like to take this opportunity to express our
opposition to the above named project. While we realize
it would be nice to have the streets in a hetter conditi
than they now are, we do not believe that the curbs and
gutters are needed. As a matter of fact, a number of
residents, including ourselves, have indicated that we r
like the "country" appearance. Some people have the beli
that the project will enhance the value of the property.
we would doubt very much, and indeed, if the value does
increase, the assessed valuation will also increase. A b
way to improve the appearanoe (and perhaps values) would
for a certain few individual property owners to clean up
maintain their own locations in a satisfactory manner.
As for solving the water problem, which many who are for
project believe will happen, only the surface runoff wil
changed in a limited amount. We still have the undergrou
water strata, which we believe will continue to give tro
In the least, we would hope that if the project is to be
completed, a thorough engineering survey concernin� the �
flow patterns, and the un.der�round water levels would be
completed.
A final concern of mine (and many others) is that of the
monetary aspect. Many of us in the area are retired peopl
who are on a fixed inrome. We continue to get increases f
all forms of government, local to federal. How much lon�e
can we holc� out?

Dear Sir,

9 November ]
With regard to the Friendly Hills road reconstructi�
have been quoted in the South-West Review as saying, "If w�
convince you it'.s good for your property values, just say :
we'l1 go on to something else". You haven't convinced a m�
of the Friendly Hills residents to support the curbs/gutte�
storm sewer project. One would think a 100 attendees at t]
September meeting opposing the issue would be a mandate -`
don't want it. One would think that the many people who sp�
against the full project at the September/November meeting:
be convincing - especially since 4 notices had been mailed
September 20 letter practically begged for "pro" to attend
speak out. It was a blatant plea, giving 8 reasons for "u�
street" support. Even written "for" responses were paltr!
letters - whereas, two petitions had been circulated in an
extremely short period of time in a rather casual manner, �
representing as you said 25� of the area. It seems plain i
residents don't want this costly project.
The curbs/gutters/storm sewers are not going to t
of the water problems we heard about at the City Council
meetings. These few complex problems obviously are of
scope and need to be alleviated in another manner. The
arguments do not hold their own weight.

Dear Council Members:
I am writing to you in opposition to the �ontemplated
re-building of the streets in Friendly Hills, that in�ludes
c��r6 and gutter �long with a feai r��ns of "storm sewer".
My wife and I live at 777 k:eo{:u{: Lane, and are the ori:ginal
owners of this house and lot after the Friendly Hills
development was completed. We moved in, in the mud, and we
lived through the construction of the sanitary sewer lwhich
of �ourse required total reconstruction of all of the streets
in the area). We even survived losing our great drinl:ing
water when the water tower was tal:en down and tae were
swit�hed to the 5t. Paul water SY5t8i11. Through all of this
we have gotten along very well without curb and gutter or
storm sewers.
Although I did not speal: out during the publi� discussions
there are a fe�i points that I want to mention. During the
attempts to justify the rebuilding of the Friendly Hills
street it was stated several times that the street surfaces
were "worn out", "that maintenance costs aiere to great", artd
"technology ha5 changed since the current streets were
�ortstructed". This may all be true however, I did not hear
any statement of a real criteria for determining when a
street surface is worn out such as a limit af repair cost per
mile or per block, the area or number testimated of tourse)
of potholes filled per year, per mile (or block, ar
subdivision). I did hear several obje�tive reasons for the
re�onstruction and �ddition of curb and gutter, hut I either
missed the quantitative justifi�ation or none was given.
I would re-state that, as long time residents and voting tar.
payer, we are opposed to in�luding �urb and gutter and/or
storm sewer in any re-construction of the streets in Friendly
Hills. I dISD oppose the YJh812 project, hased on thirty
years �f Engineering erperien�e, because I was shown NO
ENGINEERING justification for anything �oncerning the
Friendly Hills streets.
5incerely;

I attended bo�h feasibility hearings on �.he propased
recanstruction project and listened to all the pras and co.
the neighborhood. I could unders�and and sympathize wi
opinions from both sides of �he fence, but none of it
applied to me. My lot, on the corner of Dodd and Decarah,
direct access �.o the Friendly Hil].s streets. Street reco:
tion would add no value at all to my lot. I cio not us�
streets . Curb and gutt�r would nea.ther enhance nar detrac
the aes�hetics of my lot. And the much discussed prob]
traffic control. and water drainage simply do not apply
site. I was therefore silent a�. both meetings.
The on].y 3.ssue I had was why I was a.ncluded in the
at all. It dici nat seem appropria�Ge to bring this ug at �.
sibility hearings and add to the divisive atmasphere
present. I have to assume that my lot was included because
proposed realignment of Decorah �o meet Wagon Wheel Tr<
this becomes pa.rt of the overall project, it woulci have a
negative impact on my lat. I wauld strangly object to ha
pay $3700 (approx.) for the privilege of ruining the aes
of my lot.
My si�uation is no di�ferent than the other lots alo
Road from Decorah to Creek Ave. They were all shaded and e
from the praject on the engineer's plat plan even the a
abuts to Az�ec Lane. None af these peapie would reali�e ar
from the project either. If the project encompasses o�
street, curb and gutter work, then I clon't feel I should
cluded in �he assessment for the projec�. I also don't
should be assessed if the Decorah realignment is inclu+
this degrades the value of my lot rather than improves it.
the methoci of reconstruction, whether simple overlayment
upgrade, is immaterial to me. I just don't fe�l T should
sessed �or the project. Please 1et me know your thaughts o
mat�er.

Dear Chuck,
:ion
We watched the council meeting last night on television; and
Chuck, you deserve a medal and all kinds of commendations for
the great patience and skill you displayed in fielding t ose
repetitive--and we really mean REPETITIVE--questions and
comments by the individuals who appeared at the council
meeting and made statements about the Friendly Hills Street
Reconstruction proposal. It takes a special talent, such as
you have, to be an effective mayor of the city of Mendota
Heights. •
We are still IN FAVOR of a complete reconstruction of our
Friendly Hills streets, complete with curbs and gutters and
storm sewers.
In fact, we think there should be two or more catch basi
Navajo Lane because the home owners on Navajo Lane have
always had a water problem for the past 35 years.
Thank you for serving as mayor for our community.

Subject: Friendly Hi1is Street Impravenier►#s
Dear Mayor Mertensatto:
I tis•avld like to forrnaliy submit diese cc�►nr��ents for the record re,garding
Friendly Hills street improvements.
I reside at 815 Hazel Court and am requesting your consideratian of including
Hazel Caurt area for resurfacitig as gart of tl�e Friendly Hills Project. Jim Daniel
indicated this �vould cost approximately $I;SUO per lot because we already have curbs
gutters. Therefore, it might be a gaod time ta coordinate resurfacing the Ha.zel Court <
�vith any reconstructian of Pagel Road.
the
the
In regard to Pagel Road, I would suggest a pedway be put along Pagel Road t tie
in to t�ie ped�vay system, which was' implemented in Bridgevie�v Shores. This would e a
continuation of aur peciway program of cannecting neighborhoods.
A major area of concern ta me is tl�e intersection of Pagel Road and �Ceola.�k. It
presently rises 4 or 5 feet fron� all directions to reach the top of the intersection. I�v utd
strongty sug�est that intersection be cuC do�vn to a grade sinular to what is at Pu blo
Drive, ihen make Keokuk a tl�rough street a►ld have a stop sign at Page1 north and so th.
Additionally, Pagei narth of Keokuk shouid be disconnected at the dangerous intersec ion
�vhere Daid Road and Highway 110 cotmect. There is only one hause on that sectio of
Pagel and d�e access could be redirected back toward the intersectian of Pagel d
Keokuk.
One additional suggestion would be the construction of a bus stap on the s ort
sectian of Keokuk between Pagei and Dadd Road. Sufficient space is availabte to m�e a
full bus turnaround. This is a very active corner for school buses and city bu es.
Canstructioi� of the bas turnaraund �vould tre�nendously enlaance safety for both young nd
old passengers wanting to board buses at that location. I would also suggest a shelter � ith
some type af heating s}rstem be instatled so tliat tlye yaung and adult bus passengers ha�e a
safe and �varni location. As far as I can tell, this is the most active bus boarding locat on
in Mendota Heights. Therefare, Iet`s encoorage additional use and make it safe d
comfortablc.

Dear Mayor Mertensotto and Councilmembers:
lv�y name is Maureen Kucera and I have lived on Decorah La.ne i.n
Mendota Heights for 24 years. Y am writi.ng in strong support of the
p�oposed reconstruction of Friendly �ills Addition streets and
surroundin.g areas (Improvement No. 9�, Project No. 6).
I have had great concern regarding the way Decorah Lane has
deteriorated. in appeatanee, particularly since we have had an increase in
traffic due to the Copperfield develo�ment. The azea is in desperate
need of an ove�haul and the gutters have become an eyesore. � azn. vezy
concerned that, if improvements aze not done in the near �uture, thexe
will be a detrimental effect on the entire Fxier�dly Hiils area and our
propez�t�► values. I know t]�at my concern is shared. by others on DEcorah
Lane. . .
I would also urge that Decorah Lane be consideTed a priority due
to the unusual level of tr�c it has compazed to other streets iuo. the area.
Thank yau very much for yowr eoAsideration of my concern.

At the present time the Coalition is not requesting financial
commitments from cities in order to become involved in the planning
process. Rather, the Coalition would simply like to see the grant
request supported by as many cities as possible.
RECONIl�:NDATION �
While we have all been inconvenienced by the Wakota Bridge
congestion at one time or another, to the vast ma.jority of Mendota
Heights residents the status of the bridge is not a major concern.
Nonetheless, the adoption of the attached resolution in support of
the necessary planning efforts is recommended, so long as it is
ma.de clear that the adoption of the resolution in no way obligates
the City to provide future financial support towards the project
and/or its planning.
ACTION REQIIIRED
Should Council concur with the recommendation, a motion should
be made to adopt the attached Resolution No. 93- A RESOLUTION
IN SUPPORT OF AN APPLICATION TO THE BOARD OF GOVERNMENT INNOVATION
AND COOPERATION FOR A GR.AN'I' TO FUND THE PLANNING FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW WAKOTA BRIDGE, and to authorize the Mayor and
City Clerk to execute all documents necessary to aupport the grant
application. Council may also wish to specify that its adoption of
the resolution in no way obligates the City to provide future
financial support towards the project and/or its planning costs.

INTRODIICTION
As Council is aware, the Metropolitan Airports Co;
(MAC) is currently evaluating a location for a new major ai

the MAC has published a document entitled "Draft Alt
Environment Document" (AED) which in now being circul�

formal comments regarding the impacts a new airport
location would have on the City of Mendota Heights.
DISCIISSION
On November 10, 1993 the Mendota Heights Airport R
Commission considered this issue and discussed the rec
contents of the City's formal comments (see attached memo
Given the Veteran's Day holiday on Thursday, November llt
minutes from this meeting were not available on November
delivery with thie packet. Minutes excerpts will be avai
our November 16th meeting to assist Council in their revieu
matter.
To summarize the Commission's discussion, two ma1
particular were deemed most important. First, was the
aircraft noise. Although we would expect a dramatic dec
noise with the relocation of the airport to southern Dakot�
the true noise impacts are difficult to determine given t
of detail provided in the AED. More specifically, the AED
show the "second tier" of air traffic control procedur�
would direct aircraft to and from the new airport. The d

'As yau will recall, Council recently reviewed a pac
legislative policies prepared by the Association of Metrc
Municipalities {p�Il�!} . The LMC policies are similar, but
broader statewide focus as opposed to the ANIl�i's metropolita�
Ano�her di�ference be�ween the LMC and ,AN�! policy
process relates to the £act tha�. LMC assigns a priority ra
its many pol�.cies. An °A" priority indicatea a major issue
which the LMC will devote a large amount of �,ime and res
working actively with legislators and other graups to seek
or regulations, and when appropriate in�roduce legi�lation�
priority indicates issue areas which are important to citze�
which the League will probably spend less time unle�
Legislature or other groups mount a major ef�ort�to whi
League wi11 respond. A��C" priority indicates i�sue areas t�
the League wa.11 respond to only when other groups raise th�

2 League of Mi nesota Cities
General Policy Statement
One of the most important purposes of the League of Minnesota Cities is to serve as
cities to define common problems and develop policies and proposals to solve those �
vehicle for
The League of Minnesota Cities represents 805 of Minnesota's 855 cities as well as 1 urban towns
and 20 special districts. All sizes of communides are represented among the League' members (the
largest non-member city has a population of 225) and each region of the state is repre ented.
The policies that follow are directed at specific city issues. Two principles guide the
of ail League policies:
l. Minnesota cities' need for a governmental systein which allows flexibil
authority for cities to meet challenges for governing our cities and pro�
citizens with services while at the same time protecting cities from unfi
underfunded mandates, liability or other financial risk, and restrictions
control; and
2. That the financial and technical requirements for governing and prov;
� necessitate a continuing and strengthened partnership with federal, st�
governments. This partnership particularly in the areas of finance, d
housing, environment, and transportation is critical for the successful
Minnesota's cities and the well-being of city residents.
PRIORITY SETTING
"A" priority indicates a major issue area to which the League would devote a large a
and resources, working actively with legislators and other groups to seek new laws or

DEVELOPMENT STRAT.EGIES
D�5►--1. 'I'aac incremcnt F'inancang (A)
T1te League supports cicanges to the tax
increment fznancing {TIF) laws that will
make this economic development,
redevelopment, and housing tool more
usable, including generaX authority for
poTlcrtion distriets and eXiminalion vf the eity
aid penaXty for certain dishicts. The League
urges the Legtslature to regeal' the uirl
penalty, impmve the financing mechanisrns
forgollution -clean-up, arul return to a mvre
,tTexi,bte definilion of qualified tourism
development.
Over the past several years, TTF authority has
been seriously limited, and, as a result, the
ability of cities to engage in needed
development and redevelapment has been
sharply reduced. The state needs ta
acknowledge that cities are the primary
governmentat unit responsibie for ecanomie
development ta create jobs and help stabilize
the state's economy, redevelop blight and
decay, develop affordable rental and awner-
occapied hoaszng, and clean up paliutian
within cit�es. 'T.� has pmven to be the most
effective tool for cities in fulfilling these needs
and the current restrictions need to be
removed to allow these efforts.
The Locai Governmei�# Aid/I�ornestead and
Agricultural Credit Aid penalty (LGA/HACA)
sl:ould not apply to T'.� districts. If the
Legislature is not willing to remove it, cities
shoi�ld nai be restricted in their means of
paying for the penalty. The general fund af a
city shouId not be responsible for this penalty,
and the Legislature should remove the
prohibi�ian on develaper payment of the
penalty.

T'he League acknowledges that li ited use of
tax abatements, in coordination ith county
offtcials, offers a new mechanis to address
problems which do not require t e corrective
actions of a tax increment distric .
Abatements, hawever, are not d igned to
handle costly redevelopment or Itution
clean-up, and cannot serve as an dequate
replacement for TTF.
DS-2. Jab Creat�on Th�
Manufacturing Districts
The state needs to acknowXedge z+ cities are
the primary government unit re onsible far
assistircg in the creation of jobs �rtd
stabiYrzing the economic conditio of the
state. Cities should be given the necessary
tools to Itelp businesses create st le jobs

The League betieves that the stat needs ta
make a concerted effart to provid cities with
the ne+✓essary taols to create a sta � le market of
well-paying jobs for the residents f the state,
Authority for a manufacturing ta�c increment

such a taal. This TTF district should be used
to target ihe creation of new jobs or retention
of existing jobs. In particular, small cities
acrass the s#ate are desperate for a workable
form of TTF sa that they may remain viable
commurtities, retain existing jobs, and offer
employment opportunities to their residents
and ta the surrounding areas.
Uniess these districts are exempt from the aid
penalty, increments will nat be adequate to
create necessary jabs. To qu�alify,
manufaeturing districts shonld be able to meet
the criteria for either an economic
development, renewal, redevelopment, or
pottution district. . �
In addition, these districts would be more
economically viable with modifications to the
existing 1iF Iaws limiting pooling and the
"five-year rule" for activity in the groject.
DS-3. Developmeni af Polluted
Pro1�rtY (�)
The League supports the efforts taken by the
,I993 I.egislature tv devetvp a sta#ewide clean-
up prograrn for pollrr#ed properCy. Adequa#e
funding for contamination acrass the state
will not be generated by the contQminalion
tax and further efforts should be made to
dedicate another revenice saurce. In
addu'ion, the League appases the requirement
that local property tax revenues be required
to ohtain funding for pollutian clean-up.
Across the state, Minnesota cities face
tremendous obstacles to the development of
poiiuted properties. The I.egisiature has taken
encouraging action to address the liability
expasure for development of polluted
property. The extensive casts of clean-up still
present an obstacie to develapment of poiluted
land. Clean-up costs often exceed the value of
the Iand sa there is no incentive for private
sector intervention. Public sector subsidies �
are therefore critical. Changes to the tax

additional taols to heTp cities prom te

The L.eague supports legislation ta

cities ta either abate property vaiue or
property taxes. These �ools, in addition to tax
, inerement financing, are needed for cities
. across the state ta target assistance to smaller-
scale, main street businesses, and blighted
neighborhoc>ds and to offer opportunities to
stimuiate the creation of jobs.
pnly effarts to preserve tax 6ase, promote jab
creation or retention, provide low- or
moderate-income liousing, or redevetop
blighted areas should be eligible far
abatements. Criteria wauid be developed to
guarantee that these tools would ensure
accountability by both the locai governments
and the property owners.
Programs such as the homestead crE;dit, "this
ald hause," the abatement authority for
enterpz7ise urnes, and the new contamination
tax for poll�tion clean-up have all set the
pr�;cedent for a coardinateci system of value
and tax abatements.
Abatements of up to 15 years would provide

Two ty�pes of abatements would facilitate
redevelapment and job creatian:
A. Praperty tax abatements should be
avaiiable for all t�rpes of property to abate the
ta�ces that are caused by increases in value
which are due ta improvements that are made
to the property. Currently, property owners
are discpuraged fram making se�bstantial
improvements to their property hecause of the
affsetting penalty of increased taxes. If a city
were able to abate the total amount of these
increased ta�ces, funds would 6e availabte to
the property owners to assist in the financing
af the project. Oniy the tax increases which
result from irnprovements that are part of a
deveiopment agreement between city and the

such housing are not being fully met. The
city aid penalty adopted in 1990 makes this
situation worse, and it should be repealed.
The prohibition on developer payment of the
aid penalty is likely to dramatically reduce the
viabilily of constructing owner-occupied
hc�using through TIF.
B. 71ce slaare of market value in the TIF
/aoresing project tlaat cart be used for purposes
otlier tltan low- and moderate-income
horesing sliorcld be increased from 20 percent
to 35 perceizt. Tl�e opportunity for a project
to include a greater share of higher-income
housing units, retail/commercial, or other
properties in a TIF housing district can
frequently make possible the construction of
low- and moderate-income housing which
would otherwise not occur.
C. Tfie differences in properly tax elass rates
between owner-occupied pmperly and rental
property should be reduced. The first
$72,000 of homestead property has a class
rate of 1.0 percent of market value, compared
to 2.3 percent of market value (one-three
units), and 3.4 percent for rental housing with
four or more units. These large class rate
differences discourage the construction and
ownership of multifamily rental housing, as
well as the availability and upkeep of
single-family housing on a rental basis.
Property tax.relief that is provided for
low-income rental housing should, however,
be tied to agreements by developers and
property owners. Some form of guarantee
should ensure that such tax relief helps
maintain affordable rates to assure long-term
availability of such units.

that the city be able to prove that the market

relation to the amount of the sgecial

This interpretation has made it more difficult
to assess all (ar even gart) of a capital

ELECTIONS AND ETHICS
EE-l. Abscntee Voting (A)
Tlae League recommends ticat the following
claanges in absentee voting be adopted to
simplify tlae process for voters and to make it
easier to conduct absentee balloting. If the
Legislalure adopts nonqualificalion absentee
voting, LMC urges the following reforms be
made in implementing thai,form of voting:
• Authorize local election o�cials to
provide an absentee application form to
any person on request;
• Require individuals returning five or more
absentee ballot applications to do so within
five days of the date they were signed;
reject completed absentee b�
envelopes during the 30-day
to election;
• Simplify language and ;
of voter instructions on
ballot return envelopes;
• Make the cut off for voter
the same as for absentee v

polls need to be evaluated over the next two
years to determine whether such measures
have helped increase voter participation.
EE-2. Consolidating I.ocal Elections
(A)
The League supports measures designed to
laelp increase voters' awareness and
pa�ticipation in local elections, including the
sclaeduling of elections in September artd
November. The Legislature should uphold
crcrrent city authority to establish the date of
local regular and special elections and to
refrain firom restricting home rule charter
arcthority to provide for the conduct of local
elections.
Legislative proposals to consolidate all local
elections on a single date and year raise
serious concerns. Problems associated with
overlapping election districts, multiple election
issues, voter confusion, ballot secrecy, and the
need to establish cost-sharing responsibilities
must be addressed before such a plan would
sufficiently benefit voters.
The League seeks to maintain city authority to
conduct local elections, particularly when
otl�er local units of government also conduct
elections on the same date as regular city
elections. While the League supports measures
tu encourage greater voter participation and
strengthen voter confidence in the election
process, continued legislative inte�st in
limiting the number of local elections must be
tempered with a realistic concern for
difficulties presented as well as for added city
expense of conducting multiple jurisdictional
elections on the same day.
City officials support measures to reduce the
conflict between incongruent school and city
election districts and the corporate city limits
and precinct lines. Lack of conformity�of
school district boundaries with those of cities
is a serious deficiency in conducting combined
local elections.
1994 City Policies and Priorities
Cities must retain authority to sc iedule special
elections on ballot questions, bo d referenda,
and home rule charter amendme ts and to fill
vacancies in city elective offices.
The Legislature should consult c

Lc;gisiation to prohib'rt cities from fitling

ili-advised, cost[y, and creates obstacles to

home rule charter authority for canducting

Such restrictions undermine cities' authority
to canduct regular governmental activities and
to carry aut statutory respansibilities.

There are more than 134 standard plan cities
in wliich the gasition of city clerk is elective.
It wouid be irrespansibie and unworkable to
require such cities to wait until the date of the
next reguiar city electian to f�ii vacancies in
that a�ce. In additipn, for the nearly 70p
cities that hold regular city elections in
November of even-numbered years, such a
requirement cauld force the city to hold an
extra election in the odd-numbered year,
thereby substantiaily increasing �ocal electzon
costs.
Statutory cities have authority to hold special
elections to fill vacancies for the partion of
the term remaining, which allows the rest of
the term ta be carried aut until the �next
regular city election. If the vacancy occurs
during the first two years of a four-year term,
the appointee serves until the next city election
when a speciai electian is held ta fill the
remaining two years of a term, the appointee
serves for the remainder of the term.

EE-7. Term Limits (B)
The League strongly oppvses legislativn
advocaiing adoptian of a state constitutional
amendment limiting cvnsecutive terms fvr
elected ciiy officehoklers.
The state constitutian defines eligibility for
election to office and guarantees the rights of
voters to determine which candidates will
serve in those positions. Weakening of the.se
important demacratic principles is nat justified
by current dissatisfaction with some incumbent
officeholders or with the lack of turn-over �in
certain elective affices.
The canstitutional guarantee of "universa2
eligibility" to serve in elective office at the
state and Iocai leval shauld not be restricted.
It is not necess��ry or pmdent for uniform term
limits to be imposecl at the local level. City
eiected officials are not generally viewed as
full-time political officehalders and are rarely
compensated at levels comparable to thase
serving in higher office. Many cities struggle
to cncaurage eiEizens to seek office because of
the di�cult and time-consuming nature of the
work which mayors and city counciis must
perform. Adoption of legislation proposing
term timits for scrch affices wauid further
discourage those wha may be the very
afficeholders whose dedicated service and
willingness to serve are vital ta the interests of
voters and effective Iocai government.
1994 City Policies and Priorities
Though the League opposes� any additional
term limitations, if the Legislatu e decides in
favor of progasing a constitutia al
amendment, only stat� etective Ffices shoulci

The League also urges etimination of
requirements for cities to submit separate
annuai reports to both the State Auditor and
the Sta.te Ethieai Praetiees Board.
Since the Legislature has enacted
comprehensive lobbying reporting
requirements far iobbyists and 2acai units of
government, it is ctearly unnecessary to retain
this additionai report. Current lobbyist
reporting and registration requirements took
effect in 1991. It is, therefore, reasanabie for
the I.egislature to eliminate the additional
reporting of estimated tob6ying expenditures
ta the State Auditor, which was instituted in
1989.

• Scveral city ofFci�ils have incurred huge
pc;rsonal costs defending open mec;ting
law violation ailegations, because state law
tr�lts the open meeting law somewhere
bctween a civit and criminal matter. At
tiie very least, tl�e legislation should
authorize local governments to reimburse
their officers to the same extent as if
criminal charges were brought because of
their official actions.
• Selection of city employees is complicated
by the data pracdces act's classification of
the identity of non-fmalists as private.
This problem could be resolved by
allowing closed meetings of public badies
to screen applicants until finalists are
chosen. This would protect the privacy
rights of individuals and yet allow the
public to be involved at the most important
stage of the process, that being the
selection of an employee from the group of
finalists.
• Certain meetings, such as settlement
r� '; meetings involving judicial or
administrative actions, are more likely to
�, be more productive and concluded faster if
they are not subject to the open meeting
law. The Legislature should bmaden
current provisions to allow quasi judicial
officers or certain state employees to
authorize closed meetings of public bodies.
• The current law requires reasonable efforts
to keep private any private data which
must be discussed publicly. This causes
both practical and political problems in
that if the public bady can accomplish the
impractical task it destroys the public's
respect for government and if the
government can't successfully shield the
information it is exposed to significant
legal liability. The Legislature should
repeal this requirement.

revise tlae pay equily statute to allow local
goverrantents sufficient time to comply with
recently advpted administrative rules

Additivnally, ihe League urges ihe
Legislalure to amend the statute to limit the

separate compliance reports.
The local government pay equity act, first
adopted in 1984, has been frequent�y amended
by the Legislature. Significant amendments
were adopted in 1494, and in I991 the
Legislature authorized the Department of
Emp]ayee Relations to promulgate n11es to
assist the department in determining local
gavernment compliance with the statute.
These rules, which inciude several new tests,
necessita.te many changes to local government
compiiance effarts, took effect almost a full
year after cities and other public employers
were required by the statute to submit
compliance reparts. Cities wluch are found

The rules address other significan issues not

including the definitions of empla ees and
employers covered by the act.
For the definition of emptoyees, t e rutes use
the same definition as in the publi etzYployec�s

Unfortunately, it is this feature of formal

regardless of separate payroll systems,
personnel rules, salary and benefit systems,
etc. The League supports statutory
clarification that other aspects of the
government structure be considered when
making a determination of which governing
hody is the employer of a group of employees.
To be considered separately established, the
governmental entities may have separate
�x;rsonnel systems, separate facilities, separate
bookkeeping and payroll systems, and no
internelationships other than budget approval
and/or financial assistance. In addition, these
existing governmental entities must be
separately established prior to 1984.

a critical issue in many parts of the state. The
League supports efforts to ensure the
availability of quality health care at affordable
costs. Employers who currently provide
health care benefits for their employees,
however, should not have to pay twice.
Some past legislative actions have limited
cities' Flexibility in selecting health care
providers. Specifically, as an element of the
cn;ation oF a statewide health plan for public
�mploye;es the Legislature provided that
exclusive representatives may unilaterally
deterniine whether their employees will
participate in the state plan, leaving only the
proportion of premium paid by the public
employer subject to bargaining. The result
may be additional administrative or personnel
costs to the public employer. The Legislature
should eliminate the unilateral selection
authority it has granted exclusive
representatives.

The Leagrce opposes multiple mechanisms for

determines t)iat "esealation" (pensions

not offer adequate in,fPation protection, that
meehanism should be adjusted or abolished.
However, no new mechanism such as that
authorized for Minneapolis poliee or
firefzghters in Laws 1988, Chapter 319,

companies have played a significant role in
insurance pricing. The League supports
reasonable reforms addressing both sides of
the liability/insurance issue.
The municipal tort liability act was enacted in
1963 to protect the public treasury, while
giving citizens relief from the arbitrary,
confiusing, and administratively expensive
prior doctrine of sovereign immunity. The act
has served that purpose well in the past.
However, courts frequently forget or ignore
the positive benefits secured to citizens as a
result of the act, which includes liability
exceptions and limitations.
The special vulne�bility of far-flung
government operations to debilitating tort suits
continues to require the existence of a tort
ctaims act, applicable to local governments as
well as the state. The League recommends the
following.
• Our system of clearly defining and limiting
the scope of public liability should
continue. The League strongly supports
retention of the dollar limitations on
governmental liability. The curnent limits
of $200,000/$600,000 seem sufficient at
this time but should be reviewed
periadically to ensure that those injured
are not uni'airly compensated and that the
limils remain constitutional. The limits
should be set at an amount that allows all
levels of government to economically
pmcure coverage, and provide sufficient
Icad lime lo avoid budgetary problems.
Additionally, the limits should conform to
the extent possible with coverage lunits
available from insurers.
• Liability for particular city operations,
such as firefighting and park and
recreation facilities, should only arise if
there is a showing of gross misconduct or
gross negligence.
• The League favors eliminating joint and

Current statutes entitle a veteran to at Ieast
two different hearing procedures to challenge

may be unworkable, since the standards for

that these statutes need to be amended. The

Curnently an employee has 60 days firom the
date of the empioyer's notice af discipline or

requested, there are no time tines for holding

Under this system, a termination decisian can,
and has, taken more than a year, during which
the employee receives full pay and benefits.
The result is extremely castly to citi.�s,

generally believes that cities should be fully

expressly authorized to establish differing
license fees for establishments having different
hours of operation.
GLP 13. Prevailing Wage (G�
The League believes that wages paid on
public contmcts should be consistent with
wages earned by peopl'e worlring at similar
jobs in the eommunily. The League urges
tlae Legislalure and the Department of Zabor
a�id Luiusiry to work together to modify the
prevaili�cg wage syste�n to rnake ii more
equitable and to lielp control the costs to
local governments.
The present administration of determining
wages uses the "mode" calculation. It
designates the wage earned by the greatest
number of people in a job class as the
prevailing wage. This calculation is flawed,
and can either under estimate or over estimate
representative wages in a community. A
"weighted average" of the wages paid for the
job class during the year is a more accurate
reflection of wages paid. Requiring prevailing
wages, calculated under the existing method,
often overpays for public projects. This

arzd facilitatrng the annexation of urban land
to cities.
Public policies which encourage substantial
development in non-urban areas and which
extend public services beyand e�sting
jurisdictions and service amas are wasteful
and caunter-productive. Additionally,
shoreland and prime agricultural land are
majar natural and economic resour+ces and ths
state should include as a majar objective their

State Iaw should continue to encourage the

financial responsibility need increased
attention. The League supports improvements
to the equity and efficiency of
intergovernmental negotiations between cities
and other governmental units. Efforts to
resolve issues of resolving jurisdictional issues
and turnUacks should emphasize improving
c;qual and balanced mechanisms for these
processes.
Two specific issues need to he considered.
1. Dispute resolution board
Cities acknowledge that the overlapping
jurisdiction of county state aid highways
within cities needs a more formal process for
resolution. Local governments should
negotiate on proposed design and construction
issues during the planning phases of
development or redevelopment of these roads.
Where such negotiation does not resolve all
issues, either the city or the county may
convene a dispute resolution board. Its
membership would include the following
members of the affected county and city -- one
city councilmemher or mayor, one county
commissioner, the city engineer, and the
county engineer.
The four members of the board should joinfly
select a fifth member of the board. Likely
sources for this member are: the state office
of dispute resolution, local dispute resolution
o�ces, the Center for Transportation Studies,
the Department of Transportation, or the
Institute of Traffic Engineering. If the four
members cannot agc�ee on a fifth member
within two months of the creation of the
negotiating board, an administrative law judge
should appoint the final member. Costs of the
process of resolution should be shared equally
between the city and the county. Negotiation
through this board should be limited to one
year. Unresolved discussions could be
appealed to an administrative law judge.

Progrants designed to minimize ar eliminate
tlie �ceed for Xandfxlling solid' arid hazardous
waste.
The problem of regulating, controlling, and
disposing of solid and hazardous waste will
continue to be a major environmental issue
both nationally and in Minnesota. Major state
legislation addressing this issue has been
enacteti annually since 1980. These acts
respondet! to the concerns and issues raised by
the Leagi�e, ather local gavarnments, and
CIti28t1S.
The existing waste management and cantrol
system for handling and disposing of
iiazardous materiais centratizes responsibility
at the state tevet, but requires the cooperation
and support of all leveis of government. The
system esfiablished for solid waste is mare
diffuse, relying on cities to control and
regulate collection, counties ta regulate or
operate existing resource recovery or disposal
facili�ies, and the state to coordinate
respc>nsibilities and plan for future dispasal
needs. Both systems should foster and
enconrage abatement, recycling, and resource
recovery for as much of the waste stream as
possible and then to assure environmentally
saund disposat for the remaining waste.
The system appears to be working, and
tl�erefore the League does not perceive a nc�d
�'ar major changes to existing iegisiation at the
pmsent time. But any future legisiation that
ms
may be eonsidered should enhance and not
diminish the. emphasis on these concerns.

supports legislation requiring that the six
percent garbage sales tax (SCORE tax) be
distributed directly to the local unit of
government that actually operates the
recycling program within that jurisdiction.
• Siting process. The siting of solid waste
facilities has become extremely difficult.
The Legislature should continue to
consider siting issues and provide
additional incentives or mechanisms to
encourage siting of necessary facilities.
• Clcan-up bf landfills and other hazardous
substance locations. The clean-up and
decontamination of existing hazardous
waste sites, including closed municipal
landfills and dumps, should continue
before there is further damage to public
health and the environment. The League
supports the continuation of the state
Superfund program, including its liability
provisions, for most sites, but supports the
creation of a separate landfill clean-up
program financed out of a tax or fee on
toxic materials. Regardless of the clean-
up program established, local governments
sl�ould be protected from extreme clean-up
costs, or costs which do not directly relate
to their contribution to the problem.
• Management of solid waste collection and
disposal. Cities should retain their
existing authority to organize collection
and regulate solid waste facilities and
should not be required by statute to
compensate parties for changes in
regulations nor have their local authority
to regulate land uses unilaterally
overridden by other levels of govemment.

LUEET-11. Water Conservation and
Preservation (B)
The League suppo�ts state water conservation
and preservation pmgra�ns thai maintain a
signifzcartt mle for cities and pnvvide
adequaie financial assistance and , f 1'exibility.
In order to safeguard the public health and the
environment it is necessary to conserve and
p�serve our water resources. Many
w:Ucrshed districts, counties, cities, and towns
i�ave done a good job of dealing with surface
and groundwater management issues and have
the authority and ability to continue to do so
in a cost-effective manner. These existing
mechanisms should continue to be used to the
greatest extent possible to address surface and
groundwater management problems, instead of
establishing a new system or creating new
organizations.
The League supports, as a basic principle, that
no one has the right to pollute either ground
1994 City Policies and Priorities
or surface water resources. A reasonable
'relationship of economic and s cial costs and
benefits should be a preconditi �i toward
achieving a goal of non-degrad ition or
treatment resulting in clean wa �r. The ability
of cities to meet goals must be recognizeei as
contingent upon tlie availability of ade,qiiate
funding, including state assista ce. These
principles should apply to both he protection
of our drinking water supplies nd the
operation of municipal services.
The League supports the follov
groundwater and surface water
initiatives.
• Continuation of the state's safe drinking
water act compliance pro which
undertakes federally mand ted tests on
behalf of cities. However,
re-examination of the wate connection
fee imposed by the Depart ent of Health
on connections to public w ter supplies
should be undertaken. Th fee should be
modified to eliminate the i equity in the
current $5.21 per year fee ing
collected fmm community upplies but
not from non-community s stems.
Additionally, measures to e sure that
testing is accomplished in a cost-effective

througliout Minnesota. The League supports
passage of the legislation as currently
proposed.
Tlie 1993 Legislature preempted local
autl�ority to adopt setback requirements for
manufactured homes in a manufactured home
park if the ordinance would have the effect of
prolubiting replacing a home in a park with a
home manufactured in conformance with state
standards. This preemption is scheduled to
lapse August 1, 1994. The League urges the
Legislature to allow the preemption to lapse
and to allow local governments to continue to
adopt and enforce reasonable public safety
regulations. If the state precludes local
regulation, it should recognize and assume
responsibility for potential liability for
personal injury and property damage, which
arises as a result of the state action.
LiiEET 14. Energy Conservation (G7
The League supports legislation prbviding
incentives for energy conservation in both the
public and private sectors. '
Overall energy conservation strategies
involving the public, private, commercial, and
industrial sectors are being developed based
on the rationale that conservation efforts
achieve the greatest energy savings at the
lowest cost. Many of these efforts are
receiving valuable assistance from the state.
The League believes that a city's individual
energy conservation strategy can be
accomplished if the Legislatu� permits or
establishes some of the following measures.
� The League recommends support of the
use of bonding and special levies by loca
governments for implementation of energy
conservation measures, including building
energy audits. This authority would
supplement the current municipal energy

Ttia 148$ Legistature concluded that all
Minnesotans share the respansibility to ensure
wise stewardship of the state's envimnment
and naturai resources for the benefit of� current
citizens and future generations, and that the
proper management of the state's enviranment
and naturai resources requirres foresight,
planning, and long-term activities that allow
the state to preserve its tugh quality
enviror3ment and provide for wise use of its
natural resources. In order ta pmvide a

RS-1. S�ate Aid to Cities (A)
State aid and praperty tax retief programs for
cities were originally established in
conjunction with the introduction of the state
sales ta7c to reduce the reliance on the pmperty
tax. These programs have allowed cities to
provide an adequaie Ievel of services to
Minnesatans, regardless of tocal property
wealth or service overburden factors.
Certainty and stability in the state aid system
remain a major goal for city officials.
Hawever, in three of the past four years, state
aid originally certified to cities during their
budget process has been retroactively cut.
When this occurs, city officials have few
options but ta reduce �ssential city services
and delay necessary maintenance programs.
To ensure eertainty and stability, the League
recommends the following policy guidelines if
changes are made to the state aid system:
A. Local government airl {I.GA) should
remain an essentiul' comgvnent af the
prnperiy tax system, T'fie pmgram should
annually grrtw along wi�h the grnwth in lacal
govern�nent trust fund {1.'.fsTF,� revenues.
LGA is an important source of nan-pmperty
tax revenue for cities. Aruwal gmwth in the
apprapriation for LGA is necessary to prevent
increased ar excessive city reiiance on the
prvperty taac. The League continues to
support its 1993 LGA farmuia� pmposal and,
guided by the principies of that formula, will
support formula changes that will impmve the
stability ar the integrity of the pmgram.
B. The League opposes the conversivn of
city lca�testead an�` agriculturat credii aid
(KACA} or LGA ta school aid.
40
Converting city I�ACA ar LGA o school aid
could farce cities to dramaticaliy increase ti�eir
praperty ta}ces in arder to mainta n sufficient
operating revenues. In addition, due to
constant pressure to increase the sources
availa.ble for schaois, there is no assurance
that conversian of city HACA a LGA to
schaol aid wouid result in perma ent
reductions in schaai levies ar ha e a�neutra�i
impact on the taxes paid by iocai taxpayers.
�. The League supports resloriitg t1'ie HA�tt
growth factor for cities. �
The 1993 Legislature repealed tii s provision
for cities, schopis, tawnships, an speciai
taxing authorities. However, ca� nties
continue to receive addrtianal CA under
this pravision. The HACA growt factor
assures that the property tax reti f provided by
the state through the classificatio � system is
paid by the state and not provid by shifting
tauc burdens to other types of pro rty.
ItS-2, Local Government �.'zv�st Fund
(A)
The 1991 Z.egislature esta.blisheti the 1oca1
gavernment tntst fund (IJCTF} t create a
dedicated and stable source of re encxe far
necessary state property tax relie programs.
However, Sii10E I�S ittC�(3�1021, TF revent:es
have been the target of budget b Iancing
effarts of both the Governor and the
Legislature. With uncertaunty su unding the
199495 biennium budget, tbe L TF is
begiiu�ing to resemble the unstab e and
undesuable system it was design to replace.
The League recommends the fai bwing �policy
guidelines if changes are made t the local
government tn�st fund:
League of Min�esota Ci�ies
A, 7'fae League continue� to support the
local gavernrrzent trust furzd {LGTFj.
However, this support is cantingent on the
stal�ility and integrity of the fund.
Cities continue to support the cancept of the
LGTF which includes an inevocabie
deciication of a portion af the sales tax and
matar vehicte excise tax to a def ned and
stable set of property tax relief programs. If
dedica.tian cannoi be assured under the current
system, the I.eague will pursue modifications
to ti�e structure and composition of the fund ar
a constitkitional dedication of the tnist fund
revenues to property tax relief programs, or
t�oth.
B. Tv prevent rapid increases in tocal

gavernment trust frind (LG1� shvutd ac�'just
annuully at the same rate as sales iaac aruX
matar vehicle excise taac (1V�VET} revenues.
The LGTF was established to provide a secure
source of funding state aid and property tax
retief programs. These pmgrams are an
i�i�partant reven��e source %r mast cities.
Without growth in these programs, property
taxes wauld be usec� to fund ail necessary
i�udgetary increases.
C. The League supports modi,�ication #o fhe

provisions governing surpluses and shartfalls
in the fund; aXl prvgrams funded by the trust
fund shoulrX be adjusted in a direct
proponcion to the surplus or shortfall.
Currently, surpluses are distributed to lacal
goveinment aid (LGA}, the county cammunity
sacial services act (CSSA), and county
criminal justice aid. Shartfalls in the LGTF
are balanced by� reducing nearly all progr�ms
funded by the LGTF, including homestead and
agricultural credit aid (HACA). The integrity
o� the LGTF wautd be enhanced, and the
�volatility of any particular program would be
reduced if ati programs were adjusted in a

RS•-5. Property Tax Administration
t�3 �
A. G'ities shauld receive a share of revenues
from penalties and interest collected on
delinquent property tuaces.
Under e�cisting law, ane-haif af penaity and
interest payments on delinquent property taaces
are distributed to counties and one-haif ta
schoal districts. This policy doesn't
accurately distribute the penalties and interest
which accrue on taaces that are levied by
cities. Because the Legislature has nat been
inclined to correct this inequity, the League
proposes that a compromise distribution be
institutetl -- allocation of one-half o€ all
penaities and interest on property ta.aces to
school districts, anc! the other half to be
equally divided between cities and counties.
This arrangement will not result in any net
cost to the 'state. � _
When progerty taxes are delinquent, cities--
just like counties and school districts--Iose
expected revenue, and the current value of tax
revenues. Detayed ta�c payments can cause a
city ta reduce services or sgend down. mserves
as they wait for Iate payment of property
taxes. � � '
Caunties have always received such revenues
without deductions from levy limits or fmm

In rnany cities, residents are paying t�e costs
of caunty provided services 'such as palice
protection, which primarily benefit county
residents outside the city. In other cases, city
residents may mceive benefits from the coanty
spending, but tl�e services duplicate services
which city gavernments are atready providing.
In order to more fairiy allocate the cost of

taxpayers and city govenunents shauld be
given authoriry to petition to be exempt fmm
county ta�ces or fees far services that duplicate
ciry service or for services that are not
provided by the caunty within the city limits.
Currendy, the city taucpayers in some cities are
nat required to contribute to the costs of a
county library system if they are already
paying for a city library sys#em. Legisiation
should be passed to a11ow this arrangement to
be extended to other services. During the

Tfie Legislaiure should estabiish a program
for reimbursing municipalities for services to
state and regional faeilities. The prvgram

P�'nPe�"3', �� (2) allow cities to receive
corrapensation for services tlaat are funded
ticrorcgh general revenue, such as police and
fire, which are valuable to state and regional
agencies. Any such fee for-service program
should not be funded thmugh the locad �
government trust fr�nd. '
The State of Minnesota owns a significant
amount of praperty within citi.es in the sta#e.
Cities provide a range af services that benefit
these progerties. However, since the state is
exempt from paying property taxes,
municipalities are nat reimbursed for the cost
of these services. This places an unreasanable
htirden on cities�.
The State of Wisconsin established a pmg�ram
called "Payment far Muaicipal Services" in
i 973. Ttie pmgram provides a mecbanism for
municipalities to be reimburseci by the state
far services they provide to state-owned
properties. Thmugh a farmula based on the
value af state-owned buildings wii.hin a city,
the Wisconsin system reimburses cities for
patice, fire, and solid waste services.

-The state-mandated "truth in taxation" process
has existed through four years of local
government budget cycles. Both �the major
changes and the minor tinkering have not
substantially improved the process for citizens
or for local governments. The League urges
thc Legislature to make the following changes
to improve the effectiveness of the process for
bc�th taxpayers and local government officials.
• The process should be limited to one
official, announced public hearing to
discuss the proposed levy. The actual
adoption of the levy and budget should
take place at a regularly scheduled meeting
of tlie governing body of the city, county,
school, or special district. Cities already
conduct an open budget development
process beginning as early as May, and
becoming more final with the certification
of proposed property tax levies by
5eptember 15.
• Local governments should be allowed to
amend the levy that they preiiminarily
propose to the county auditor on
September 15. Many cities have a
difficult time realistically assessing their
budget needs to be able to certify a
pmposed levy and budget by September 15
— far ahead of the beginning of the next
budget year. The early date, combined
with the restriction that prevents the city's
fmal levy from exceeding its preliminary
estimate, works against responsible
budgeting and forces cities to overestunate
their budget needs to avoid potential
revenue shortfalls. -
• As a state mandate, the costs of this
requirement should be. fully funded by the
state. The appropriation made for the
1990 process has not been renewed. Local
governments must now find additional
funds to finance this state-mandated
process from their tight or shrinking local
budgets.
• Proposed tax information

Without levy limits, local acc untability is

yvti ure vvting fvr a property trrx increase. "
The state has deliberately designed a system of
property classes based on property use which
creates varying tax burdens. The method by
which a property tax is adapt.ed should nat
influence this class rate system. This law
makes an ir�appropriate distiuction between
capital expenditures and operating
expenditures only for city governments. Both
spending items are components of tatal city
sgending and shouid impact taxpayers
comparably. If the Legislature .wants to adjust
tax burdens, changes should be made in the
classification system, rather than through the
taac base. �
In addiiion, the simple statement tha.t ta�ces
