TAX LAW CHANGES Council acknowledged a memo from Treasurer
Shaughnessy regarding preliminary
information on the results of the
Legislature's special session on tax laws.
Mr. Shaughnessy informed Council that the
tax law signed by the Governor as the
result of the special session takes away
all of the City's Local Government Aid of
$232,750. The City residents will lose
$153,000 in homestead credit. In order to
fund the 1990 proposed budget, the levy
will have to be increased $233,000 to
$234,000, which is an 11% increase in the
levy. He informed Council that because of
the legislation, City taxpayers will
realize a 17% increase in their property
taxes. He stated that in theory there is
supposed to be additional aid going to the
County and School District which should
result in reduction of their levies, but he
does not have a final copy of the
legislation to confirm that information.
Page No. 2693
October 3, 1989
Treasurer Shaughnessy informed ouncil that
the state will certify the levy to the City
on October 23rd. He suggested hat the
City be prepared to certify the levy the
first meeting in November. The truth in
taxation hearing can be held an time after
November 15th.
Councilmember Cummins stated th t Council
had proposed an 11% total increase in the
levy as of the budget workshop. He asked
how large of a levy increase muEt Council
levy now to keep the budget at he same
level as discussed at the budget workshop.
Mr. Shaughnessy responded that the loss of
Local Government Aid will mean an
approximate 10% increase. He stated that
the City's valuation grew 10.5% and that if
the LGA had remained at the bud eted level
there would have been no increase in levy
percentage. To fund the budget at the
level proposed, the levy will have to be
increased by about 11% to compesate for
the lost aid.
Mayor Mertensotto suggested tha perhaps
Council should again review theproposed
budget with respect to potentia cuts.
Councilmember Cummins suggested
Council direct staff to prepare
recommended cuts reflecting red
3%, 5% and 8% from what was pro
felt that staff should tell Cou
they would recommend changes so
Council has laid out for it wha
options are. He stated that Co

Referendum of May 15th.
Park Commission Chair John Huber and Barry
Warner, from Barton-Aschman Associates were
present for the discussion. Mr. Huber
informed Council that the Commission has
received a proposal from Barton-Aschman to
work on the design phase of the ballfield
and neighborhood park improvements. City
staff will handle the design of the trails.
He stated that the City does not hold title
to any of the land on which the fields are
proposed to be developed. For this reason,
the Commission asked Mr. Warner to break
the Barton-Aschman contract into multiple
phases so that the City can order work done
on the various park sites as they become
available or delete them if they do not
become available.
Mr. Huber informed Council that staff and
Mr. Warner have put together schedules to
allow as much construction as possible in
1990. He stated that given the proposed
timeframes and Barton-Aschman's history
with the City, the Commission recommends
that the City enter into an agreement with
Barton-Aschman rather than taking the time
necessary to request and consider proposals
from other consultants.
Mayor Mertensotto felt that the Barton-
Aschman proposal to work on a fixed fee
basis with a cap is a good one and
suggested that the City Attorney draft a
memo of understanding so that Council can
initiate when the consultant is to proceed
on the various projects. He informed Mr.
Warner that Council would not want him to
incur any time on a phase until Council
authorizes him to proceed.
Mr. Warner responded that his firm would
desire a notice to proceed on each of the
different aspects and felt that the
contract should definitely be structured
that way. City Attorney Hart felt that a
budget target for each phase would also be
important as well as when to proceed.
Councilmember Blesener pointed out that
existing neighborhood parks have no dollar

amount and asked who is responsible for the
replacement of equipment in those parks.
She stated that there must beonsistency
in the'quality and type of apparatus in all
parks, both they are new or existing.
Mr. Warner informed Council tha his firm
will do the play equipment for all new
parks and staff will address existing parks
based on precedent set in a recently
developed neighborhood park.
Councilmember Cummins pointed o!ut'that
Council is committed to providing first
rate facilities in the existing parks. Mr.
Huber stated that the Park Commission
shares that commitment. .

signs are referred to the police and
engineering departments, who apply the
adopted criteria to the requests. He
pointed out that both departments have
recommended that a four way stop
intersection is not warranted. He
suggested that Mrs. Berquist communicate
directly with Chief Delmont and if a speed
problem exists the police should use radar,
both to get statistical information on
average speeds and to issue citations.
Council directed that Chief Delmont contact
Mrs. Berquist to discuss the neighborhood
concerns and that the Public Works
Department clear any obstructions on public
right of way at the blind intersection as
well as notifying the property owners at
the intersection of the ordinance
requirement for 30 feet of clearance at
intersections.
CASE NO. 89-35, PAUL Mr. Richard Paul, 940 Wagon Wheel Trail,
was present to request approval of his
application for a wetlands permit to allow
construction of a deck on his home 35 feet
from Rogers Lake.
Councilmember Cummins asked whether there
are any other structures in the area as
close to the lake as the 35 feet proposed.
Mr. Paul responded that he has not gone
around the shoreline to confirm that there
are.
Councilmember Cummins pointed out that this
is a case where the house,.garage and the
deck which is proposed to be replaced are
already infringing on the wetlands and
constitute a non -conforming use. He
expressed concern over the magnitude of the
encroachment. He felt that while an error
was made when the building permit was
issued for the structures it might be a bad
precedent for Council to allow a non-
conforming use to be reconstructed.
After discussion, Councilmember Blesener
moved to waive the public hearing
requirement and approve a wetlands permit

CASE NO. 89-03, Council acknowledged and discussed a memo
DUFFY (LEXINGTON from Acting Administrator Danielson
PLAZA regarding two issues needing Council
consideration before final development
documents for the proposed Lexington Plaza
Planned Unit Development can be prepared.
Those issues are City acquisition of the
SOS site --whether Council will proceed
with the project if the City is unable to
reach acceptable terms with SOS, and
whether Council would consider additional
T.I.F. funding above the $450,000 cap if
Mn/DOT does not fund road construction.
City Attorney Hart also informed Council of
a third issue needing resolution - a letter
of credit from the developer. Mr. Torn
Curley was present for the discussion.
City Attorney Hart reviewed each of the
issues. With respect to the SOS question,
he informed Council that it is anticipated
that there will be an environmental audit
of the property to determine whether there
has been any leakage from the underground
storage tanks and that everyone involved
anticipates that there will be clean up
costs. He expressed concern over the
potential environmental liability and
stated that unless the City is absolutely
certain that the property is clean he would
not recommend City purchase. He informed
Council that if the liability cannot be
determined in the next month or so, the
project will be delayed, and the developers
have asked whether it would be acceptable
for them to proceed with the project with
the SOS structure still up.
Responding to a question from Mayor
Mertensotto, Treasurer Shaughnessy informed
Page No. 270
October 3, 198
Council that if the Duffy project does not
proceed and agreement was reached with SOS
the Tax Increment Fund could purchase the
SOS property.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the
development could still proceed while the
City negotiates and that it is not
necessary that the City hold title to the
SOS property. He pointed out that the City
will not proceed with purchase of SOS until
Council has assurances on the Duffy
project.
Mr. Hart stated that if a significant
hazard exists the City may not want to
acquire the property since the City may be
liable for clean up costs. He suggested
that the City pursue agreement with SOS
that the cost for accurate testing be
equally shared by SOS and the City.
The second issue, according to r. Hart, is
that the City placed a $450,000 cap on TIF
financing for the project. The anticipated
cost of constructing the frontage road is
$90,000, and construction would be financed
by City funds subject to reimbursement by
Mn/DOT. Mr. Hart stated that t ere is not
a 100% assurance on Mn/DOT's co tribution
at this time, only tentative ap roval by
someone on the Mn/DOT staff. Tie
developer's agreement stipulate3 that any
cost in excess of $450,000 will be assessed
against the property, and the d velopers
are concerned that they might e d up paying
for the construction if Mn/DOT oes not.
Treasurer Shaughnessy informed ouncil that
the increment from the center w uld not
cover the $90,000 cost.
Mr. Curley expressed concern ov r the
potential cost and further statad that it
is also imperative that the SOS structure
is gone by spring so that the d velopers
can complete the site grading.
Councilmember Blesener stated tl
has always been of the impressii
Mn/DOT will pay for the cost, a;
is a remote chance that this wi:
happen the cost is the responsil
the developers.
at Council
n that
d if there
1 not
ility of
Page No. 2704
October 3, 1989
With respect to the letter of credit,
Attorney Hart stated that he has approached
the negotiations as if the City were a
lender and wants security. The only way
the City can be certain it will be paid is
a letter of credit on which the City can
draw if insufficient tax revenues are
available to pay the TIF back. He informed
Council that the developers feel this is a
very costly proposition and were
contemplating an annually renewable letter
of credit. Mr. Hart indicated that what
this amounts to is just a promise to renew.
He also expressed concern over potential
damage to the property in the future -- if
significant damage is incurred and the
center is not rebuilt, the City would have
no recourse for payment.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that what Mr. Hart
has been negotiating is not an unusual
requirement but rather a reasonable
assurance that the tax increment will be
repaid. He informed Mr. Curley that Mr.
Duffy has always assured Council that the
developers would give a letter of credit to
assure repayment of funds.
Council direction on the three issues is as
follow. With respect to the road
construction, the City will make a funding
request to Mn/DOT once the project is
underway, and there is reasonable assurance
that Mn/DOT will provide funding. It was
the position of Council that under no
circumstance will the City -pick up the
costs for road construction.
Council took the position that it would be
firm on the $450,000 TIF cap and firm on
the requirement for a letter of credit in
the form as recommended by Attorney Hart.
With respect to the SOS structure, it was
Council's consensus that the Duffy/Curley
project can go forward even if SOS is not
acquired right away.
ADJOURN There being no further business to come
before the Council, Councilmember Blesener
moved that the meeting be adjourned to a
closed session to be held at 6;00 P.M. on
October 17th for the purpose of
Page No. 2705

interviewing Council appointment

SYNOPSIS OF MONTHLY RUNS
The f i re department responded to 21 calls during the month. Only 2 of I
fire runs resulted in damage to property both of which were vehicle fir�
MONTHLY TRAINING
the
S.
The monthly training was spent training with Harvey Woods of NSP at the
NSP propane tank farm on Highway 13. Over the last couple of years the
plant has undergone a considerable fire protection upgrade. NSP has
worked very closely with Paul Kaiser to accomplish the best protedion
possi bl e. The purpose of the drill was to refresh our procedure in
attacking a fire at the plant, which during the winter months has as much
as I million gallons of propane on site. The drill went very well and a
number of representatives from NSP were on site. At one point we were
flowing approximatly 2500 gallons of water per minute from two
different water sources. One on Farmdale and one on Highway 13. The
system performed as was intended.

PAVED HOCKEY RINK
AT FRIENDLY HILLS Commission Chair Huber began the discussion
on the paving of the hockey rink at Friendly
Hills by asking about the timing of the
proposal. He questioned the need to ' move
forward on this right away and stated he felt
this was an item that could wait until staff
had time to survey surrounding communities
about the acceptance and feasibility of hard
surfaced ice rinks in those communities. He
stated that construction could not begin this
year and that there was ample time to
consider this item. Huber inquired if the
hockey supporters at Mend -Eagan were gung-ho
about this item. Commissioner Katz responded
that yes, the hockey people at Mend -Eagan
seemed to be supportive of this and pushing
for it.
Chuck Bangasser addressed the commission and
stated that this was not his project alone,
that there were many people at Mend -Eagan
that wanted to see this happen. He agreed
that there was time to consider this item and
that it was important to do it right the
first time if it proves feasible. Mr.
Bangasser identified Cottage Grove,

staff to ask the City's risk manager to look
into the liability of rollerblading on a hard
surface rink. Acting Administrator Danielson
stated that the risk manager would be out to
look at all aspects of the Park's referendum
and that he could look into this too.

MEMO
October
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: James E. Danie
Acting City Ad 6 Vrator
SUBJECT: Johnson Water Problem Update
HISTORY:
Mr. Dan Johnson, 8 Dorset Road, had a leaking water service r(
St. Paul Water Utility and because he has an unguaranteed service I
billed the costs for repair. He then submitted a request to the C`
Council for support in his attempts to have those costs reduced.
DISCUSSION:
1, 1989
paired by
e was
ty
Last meeting Council was provided a copy of a letter to Mr. J hnson
from the St. Paul Water Utility informing Mr. Johnson that St. Patc. was
intending to stand firm on their charges. This letter appeared to be in
reponse to the earlier request that Council had sent asking that St. Paul
Water Utility mitigate some of the charges. As a result of receivi g this
letter Council directed me to forward another letter to St. Paul Water
Utility again requesting some mitigation of the charges to the Johnsons.
Before I could write that second letter I received a telephon call
from Mr. Tom Mogren, St. Paul Water Utility General Manager, explaining that
they had sent their letter before they had received our original letter. He
said that based on Council's request and his desire to maintain good will
between the St. Paul Water Utility and the City of Mendota Heights he would
consider reducing Mr. Johnson's bill by removing the cost of one 1borer's
time, $71-41. He also said that he would consider doing this only if Mr.
Johnson would then pay the bill. I
I called Mr. Johnson and told him of Mr. Mogren's offer and MJohnson
rejected the offer. . t.
During my conversation with Mr. Mogren I informed him that th
concerned that once these repairs were made, there was no guara0e
same problem wouldn't soon reoccur causing another high bill tj ho
I told him that Council wanted to investigate having St. Paul Wate
institute a policy of installing guaranteed services when having t
major repairs.
City was
that the
owner.
Utility
perform
Mr. Mogren replied that their repair work is guaranteed. He went on to
say that if Mendota Heights wants to pursue a policy with St. Paul Water
Utility of making all non -guaranteed services guaranteed, that could be an
item of discussion during contract negotiation: Our contract with St. Paul
Water Utility is currently expired and is waiting to be renegotiated. We
have not been in a hurry to negotiate a new agreement because other suburbs
are currently working to try to improve the conditions of the agreement. We
have been waiting to see what happens with their efforts.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS:'-,
MEMO
October 13, 1989
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: James E. DanielsoqkA�'ng City Administrator
SUBJECT: Ruby Drive Award
HISTORY
Council previously agreed to participate with the L
Mississippi River WMO and the City of West St. Paul to
construct the Ruby Drive outfall improvements. Mendota
Heights' share of the funding for the project was estima
at $10,100. Council approval was for participation not
exceed that amount. Those funds were from the Ivy Falls
project contingencies and interest profits.
DISCUSSION
Bids were opened for the Ruby Drive project on Octcber
12, 1989 (see attached letter from Barr Engineer, WMO
Engineer). As you can see from Mr. Langseth's letter, he
actual bids will increase the Mendota Heights' particip tion
by $2,000. We are proposing to attempt to lovJ--r the co is by
having Mendota Heights technicians perform the inspecti n on
the project. The City of West St. Paul has agreed to t at
provided we charge out their share of theinspectionco is at
the state's multiplier,,rate of 1.95.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff feels that -the low bid is a good bid and
recommends that Council authorize up to an additional $ 000
to come from the Ivy Falls' contingencies -and interest
profits and award the contract. We alsot. recommend that
Council authorize staff to perform the inspection on the
project, charging the',City of West St. Paul'at the MnDor
approved multiplep of 1.95 for their share of the work.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council desires'to implement the staff
recommendation, they should pass a motion approving the
additional $2,000 expenditure, authorizing City staff to
perform the inspection work and adopt Resolution No. 89
"RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BIDS AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR

Re: Ruby Drive Outfall Project
Gentlemen:
Bids were opened for the above—referenced project on October 12, 1989.
The apparent low bid of $97,935.00 (after correction of arithmetic) was
offered by D.H. Blattner and Sons, Inc. This firm performed work for the
City of West St. Paul about 2 years ago, and the work was completed in a
competent and satisfactory manner. We recommend approval of the bid by D.H.
Blattner and Sons, Inc.
Inspection of the construction could be performed by Barr Engineering
Co. or by the City of Mendota Heights. The cost of inspection by Barr
Engineering Co. would be $10,000. Because of their proximity to the site,
Mendota Heights personnel could probably do the inspection for about 2/3 the
cost of inspection by Barr Engineering Co. The Director of Public Works of
West St. Paul has indicated that it should be'acceptable to hire Mendota
Heights to perform the inspection. In this case,' -Barr Engineering Co. can
supply assistance as needed to Mendota Heights. %-Such assistance would be
provided on a time and expenses basis. The cost estimates shown below assume
inspection by the City of Mendota Heights, with some assistance from Barr
Engineering Co.; for a total estimated inspection cost of $8,000.
Based on the unit prices in the bid, the estimated cost of the channel
work in Mendota Heights is $21,421.60 as showr�iin�the attached table. The
design and inspection costs are expected to be $20,000. Apportioning the
design and inspection costs in the same ratio as the outfall structure and
channel costs, the estimated total cost shares.. for the two cities are as
follows:

DISCUSSION•
Attached is another copy of the Wagon Wheel Trail
feasibility report. The hearing for this project is
scheduled for 8:00 Tuesday, October 17th. A fair amount
public discussion is expected, as there have been a numb
calls.
The essentials of.the report are as follows:
* The cost of the project is $565,700.
f
of
* $132,370 will be assessed and the rest covered by
MSA.
* The assessment for storm sewer and street is
approximately $24.57 per front foot.
* The typical rate for streets and storm is
$4,500 per foot.
* The properties along Wagon Wheel have never Feen
assessed for streets, and have only been ass ssed
for trunk storm.
One item that was not discussed in the feasibility 's
the status of our MSA funds. MSA funds can be accumulated
for several years before we start to lose them. Given our
current fundng level, we have to construct a major MSA
project in the next three years or risk losing some of o r
MSA allotment. Wagon Wheel Trail and Mendota Heights Ro d
from 35E'to Dodd Road are the only two unimproved MSA st eets
that are not part of the county turnback program.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council conduct the public hearing nd
afterwards resolve the questions listed at the end of the
feasibility report.
Staff recommends Council order the project to be
constructed some time in the next two years. If Council
elects to order the project then Council should direct st<
to begin preparation of plans and specifications.

for Wagon Wheel Trail Upgrade to
Improvement 88 Project 7
INTRODUCTION
Residents living along Wagon Wheel Trail have requested that
the city install a bituminous trail along that street. Wagon
Wheel Trail is part of the Municipal State Aid Street system,
but it has never been upgraded to MSA standards. When Wagon
Wheel Trail is upgraded it has been the intent to include the
addition of an 8' bituminous trail.
This report looks at the different options for partial or
full upgrading of Wagon Wheel. The report will be broken
down into the following sections:
Discussion of the construction options
Discussion of the financing options
Discussion of the time table for completion
Identification the unresolved questions
List of Recommendations
Action Required
DISCUSSION
If a trail is to be installed, it can either be constructed
as an independent project or it can be included as part of an
overall upgrade of Wagon Wheel Trail to MSA standards. There
are some advantages and disadvantages to each plan. Each of
the alternatives will be discussed separately.
Independent Trail Construction
The chief advantage of constructing it independently is that
it avoids the need of completely reconstructing Wagon Wheel
when the street is still in fairly decent shape. Then in the
future the street would be reconstructed as part of the MSA
program. Doing just the trail avoids any street assessments
at this time.
The disadvantages of constructing independently are the
increased cost of design, increased construction cost, and
loss of MSA financing. If constructed and designed before
the street is upgraded, the trail has to be designed to
accommodate the future road so much of,the design of the
roadway must be completed early. Similarly, additional
construction steps will have to be taken which will mean
higher costs. Also some economy of scale will be lost.
Finally, some other source of financing will have to be us
because MSA money will probably not be available for an
independent trail project.
The cost to construct the trail separately, including
overhead, contingencies, and the extra design costs would
$134,500.
Combined Street and Trail Project
Existing Wagon Wheel Trail is not up to city design
standards. It lacks Curb and Gutter, proper storm drains
has an "S" curve which is poor design. It will have to b
widened from 24' to 401. Wagon Wheel is part of the MSA
system so upgrading to MSA standards at some point in tim
a certainty.
and'
is
Another deficiency in the current design of Wagon Wheel Trail
is the intersection with Dodd Road and Decorah. These three
streets should be realigned to form a four-way intersection.
Although this may not be required by the state, it would be
reduce the danger of this hazardous intersection. Therefore
the realignment of this intersection is highly recommende .
The cost widen and realign the street to MSA standards,
realign the intersection of Decorah and Dodd, install curl
and gutter, construct a bituminous trail, and restore the
disturbed yard areas is shown below:

$565,700
Funding options for the three possibilities (constructio
the path independently, construction of the street and p
together, construction of the street, path, and intersec
realignment) will be discussed.
If the path is constructed independently MSA funds will
than likely not be available due to the state's funding
of
m
re
r -
criteria. The only other ways that the trail could be funded
is via Park funds or assessments. Park funds have been used
in the past for bike trails, so that option has precedent.
The use of assessments to the adjacent property owners may be
hard to justify. Really the trail is intended to serve the
entire surrounding area, so assessing only in the immediate
vicinity would be unfair.
If the street and trail are both constructed together, cost•
savings will result and MSA funds will be available for the
trail. In addition to MSA funds assessments for street
construction are justifiable.
Since Wagon Wheel Trail was a county road up until a few
years ago, the residents living along it have never paid any
street or storm sewer lateral assessments. Under these
circumstances normally the costs associated with oversizing
the street are covered by MSA funds and the remainder of the
costs are assessed. Note that this fits in well with the
proposed policy on street rehabilitation funding (discussed
in another memo).
If the Street Rehabilitation Policy criteria are used the
residents would pay for some of the storm sewer, $10.00 per
front foot for street overlay, and one half of the costs
associated with installing the curb & gutter. MSA would
cover a portion of the storm sewer costs, the rest of the
street overlay costs, all the costs for oversizing of the
street, and all the costs for the bituminous path.
Using these criteria the total assessment will amount to
$24.57 per front foot for residents that have never paid any
storm sewer, and $16.50 for those who have. The table below
shows the breakdown of the funding assuming the proposed
Street Rehabilitation Policy is observed.

Thus the average lot owner will see an assessment just under
$2,500 per lot. Our average project of late has cost about
$4,500 per lot for street and storm sewer, so the anticipated
assessment is not excessive by any means.
If the realignment of the Decorah -Dodd intersection is
included in the project the extra cost of
recaptured by using excess MSA funds that
as a result of the Wagon Wheel project.

Although there has been a fair amount of interest in the
idea of a new bituminous trail, there will probably be
substantial opposition to any assessments. In order to
assess the costs an assessment hearing must first be held

is ordered, a reasonable timetable for completion of the

QUESTIONS TO RESOLVE
* Considering Wagon Wheel Trail is not in urgent need of
reconstruction, is the MSA street project warranted at
time?
* If the street and trail project is ordered should the
Decorah -Dodd intersection be realigned as part of the
upgrade?
* If the street and trail are upgraded should the propos
Rehabilitation policies be used for determining
assessments?
* If the street is not upgraded now, should the trail be
installed anyway, and if so how should it be financed?
RECOMMENDATION
The upgrade of Wagon Wheel Trail to MSA standards, inclut
a bituminous trail and intersection realignment is
desirable, and both technically and financially feasible

SUBJECT: Feasibility Report for Street Reconstruction of
Furlong Area.
Job 8913
Improvement 89 Project 4
DISCUSSION
As per the Mayor's direction Staff has prepared a brief
feasibility report on the viability of reconstructing th
Furlong neighborhood streets. The streets in the area
include Victory, Furlong, Kendon, and Lakeview. This re
will look at the costs and funding mechanisms for such a
project.
e
ort
Rehabilitating of the Furlong area streets would involve the
removal of portions of the existing street with poor
subgrade, replacement of the removed portions, patching of
the existing blacktop, and finally an overlay of all the
streets. About 20% of existing would have to be removed and
repaired.
The cost to complete this work on Victory, Furlong, Kend n,
and Lakeview, would be approximately $35,000, including
engineering, overhead, and contingencies.
It is proposed that all the costs for such a project be
recouped via assessments to the residents in the area.. rhere
is approximately 3,500 linear feet of frontage along these
streets. If the assessments are spread equally accordin4 to
frontage then the assessment rate would be $10.00 per front
foot, which is reasonable.
The -average resident has about 100 to 120 feet of frontage,
so the average homeowner would see an assessment of $1,000
to $1,200.
Since these streets are not standard width or thickness, and
don't have curb and gutter, they may not last as long as a
typical city street. Therefore it might be prudent to use an
assessment period of 5 or 7 years instead of the normal 10
year period.
In order for this project to go ahead (it could be competed
early next year) a public hearing would be necessary,

ed lower
that may
The level of effort and associated cost is based upon the tasks s own on the
attached schedules for Bob Collette and myself. The work will continue to be
a joint effort - Bob's involvement with the FAA and the MASAC Operations Com-
mittee, my involvement with the MAC, the Metro Council and the MP A. I will
also be responsible for presentation materials, liaison and inte im reports
during the course of the study.
Bob suggested that the work be divided into 90 -day increments, with extensions
provided as necessary to continue the work. Based upon the level. of effort
and time schedule envisaged on the attached pages, I estimate tha a typical
90 -day cost would range from $3500 to $4000, depending upon the work needed
during that period. Although there will probably be time periods ithout`any
work, a continuous program is used to estimate costs. Assuming th t the work
is completed in eight 90 -day periods (24 months), the estimated cost will
range'from $28,000 to $32,000.
If a careful review of the 180 -day test design and data evaluation is deter-
mined to be in the best interest of the City, then additional effo t would be
required. The attached schedules and staff hour estimates are based upon some
participation in the 180 -day test and evaluation of data. With t is effort,
the estimated cost for the follow-through process would be $48,000.
Attached is an outline of the work we anticipate may be needed to follow
through with the proposal and estimated hourly commitments by Bob Collette and
myself over the time period. Please note that these are estimates only.

SUBJECT: Request for Traffic Control
The attached request for traffic control has been received and revie ed.
The intersection in question, Cheyenne Lane and Pontiac Place is a
1
four-way intersection with one leg being a dead end stub. The coupl
r .
that have requested the control cite heavy traffic, high speeds, "cl se
calls" and the number of children in the neighborhood as justificati n
for stop signs on Cheyenne.
There have been two traffic accidents on Cheyenne Lane in -the past ive
a
years. Neither was related to the intersection in question, and ne ther
could have been prevented by additional traffic control in the area
We monitored the intersection on five different occasions and found the
traffic to range from 2 'vehicles in one 15 minute stretch, to a hig of
12 vehicles in 20 minutes.' These levels are considered very low to low.
The gverage speed of the vehicles clocked with radar was 26 miles er
}
hour. The fastest vehicle clocked was a Cheyenne Lane homeowner w o was
travelling 39 miles per hour and was given a verbal warning. As
previously noted, stop signs are inappropriate and ineffective met ods
of speed control. Due=to manpower constraints, the traffic was no
monitored on Sunday.
^� Haled on the above information, the Police Department recommends t at no
.�'1 action be taken on the attached request.

Dear Neighbors:
We believe that as neighbors we have a problem. As residents for thr
we have noticed that traffic volumes and speeds have increased during
time. Early this year we requested that traffic control be implement
Cheyenne Lane. The preferred solution appeared to be the same soluti
used on Decorah Lane and Pontiac Place, as well as in Copperfield at
locations. The solution requested is a stop sign at Cheyenne Lane an
Pontiac Place. In this case the intersection would be a three-way st
requested traffic control was denied by the city.
On 9/21 a Request for Traffic Control was submitted to the city. It
were 18 homes now between Huber Dr. and Pontiac Place. In 1986 when
to the area there were five. There are now 25 children living in th
homes, 20 are under eleven years of age. In 1986 there were four.
Circumstances have changed. These statistics include only residents
Pontiac and Huber. In addition, we have not included the substantia
number of Cheyenne Lane homes west of Pontiac Place.
In conjunction with increased population there is a comensurate incr
traffic, some at dangerously high speeds. We have tracked as many a
vehicles in 17 minutes. I have personally observed several vehicles
40 m.p.h. This is unacceptable in a quiet neighborhood full of chil
In response to our above-mentioned 9/21 request, the city responded
recommending no action. The item will be considered at the 10/17 ci
council meeting. We would like to request the following of you:
If you agree with the need for traffic control please attend the cou
meeting on 10/17. The more people that come out in support, the mor
council will see the need.
If you cannot attend the meeting please jot down some thoughts and s
to us. We will represent your position at the meeting.
A call to one of the city council representatives to tell the story
the need will also help.
We will be at the meeting on 10/17 at 7:30 p.m.. John will summarize
situation prior to council action.. Some questions we will be asking
o Why are stop signs installed at other intersections and
in other areas and not at this location?
o What are other alternatives? Could the city suggest
other alternatives?
o Why aren't other assessment efforts employed? Traffic
counters and heavier patrol would certainly yield resul
Attached are copies of recent correspondence. If you agree with ou
recommendation please attend the meeting on 10/17 or jot a note sup

consideration of this matter

TO: Mayor, City Council and Acting City Adm' 'st r
FROM: John Maczko, Fire Chie
SUBJECT: Computer Purchase
As you may recall during the budget process we discussed the computer n
fire department. I had presented a proposal that would utilize $3000.00
funds and also city participation to purchase the computers. In talking 1
City Administrator Jim Danielson lately I was informed to request that my
considered at a regularly scheduled council meeting for consideration.
your memories I have attached a copy of my memo and a copy of the 1
Kevin Frazell pertaining to our computer purchase request. Kevin had
involved with the needs of the department and supported the purch
equipment as proposed. In addition, Kevin also thought that you m
consider the purchase the laser printer that was budgeted for in 1990 as
package. The reason being that our system at the fire station wou
complete. If the laser printer is added to my original proposal an additio
amount of $3174.00 would need to be allocated. This would bring the total
dollars needed to $8520.10. In looking at the budgeted monies available
department budget we should have ample funding to purchase this
without going outside of my budget. This is mainly due to the fact t
responding to significantly fewer calls this year than was anticipated ba
years. We can also currently purchase the equipment off of a state contr
with Apple Computer at substantial savings over list price•(average of 40%

My recommendation would be that the department be authorized topurchase the

whether or not the laser printer should be purchased this year to complete the
system, or next year. The laser printer is an important part of the overall system but
at this time it is not critical to the operation and could be delayed a year if necessary.
ACTION NEEDED:
Council should first decide if it agrees with the recommendation as Chief
proposed, authorizing the purchase of the equipment detailed in the memc
30, 1989. If council agrees with the recommendation it should then

TO: Kevin Frazell, City Administrator
FROM: John Maczko, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: New computers
Back in 1986 when we originally purchased the first Macintosh computer for the
department I stated that our long range goal was to have three computers, in the
department for records, emergency operation management, and training
purposes. It was also stated that we wanted to use the Macintosh because of
its user friendliness and so that we could exchange information with the police
department in the future as part of the Community Emergency Operations. At
that time we agreed to purchase one computer to see how well it would fit our
needs and to see what happens with the rest of the fire service. I am pleased to
report that the reception of the computer by the department has been
overwhelming. We are currently tracking all fire runs, local and state fire
reports, payroll information, firefighter activities, equipment inventory, radio
equipment repair pre -fire planning of all businesses in the city, and personnel
information. We have also obtained the CAMEO 11 program from the Federal
Government to aid us in meeting SARA Title III requirements. All. of the
information that we are tracking is all necessary by either laws or as part of
good management principles. With the information that we are tracking and the
requirements of new Federal standards for emergency preparedness and
personnel tracking the need for the additional computer was identified during
the 1989 budget process and funding approved. I
Since 1986 allot of things have happened to support computer use in the fire
service and in particular the Macintosh.
1. The International Association of Fire Chief's has endorsed and supports
the use of the Macintosh computer in the fire service.
2. The Federal Government has expanded it's support and upgraded the
Computer -Aided Management Of Emergency Operations (CAMEO) program
for the Macintosh.

3. The following area Fire Departments have purchased and re using the
Macintosh computer in there operations: Cottage Grove, St. Pail Park,
Newport, Inver Grove Heights, Mendota Heights and Burnsville.

As was stated earlier my long range plan in 1986 was for three corrputers. Two
of the computers would be in the station with one computer in my cffice and the
second computer being installed in the dispatchers office for instant access to
pre -plan information, fire reports, truck and equipment records etc. The third
computer would be installed in our command vehicle at the fire scee for access
to pre -plan information and the use of the CAMEO program. I

numerical calculations than the Macintosh Plus, is flexible in design with
expandability potential, can run IBM software with no additional hardware

Furthermore, I would like to propose that instead of the department going out
and purchasing a new disk drive and computer for the command vehicle with the
donated monies that we instead use the left over donation monies toward the
upgrading of our office computer. This upgrading could occur by following his
path: Place the existing Macintosh Plus computer and hard drive currently
owned by the city in the command vehicle and use the donated dollars toward
the purchase the following state of the art equipment for administration:

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO
September 7, 1989
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kevi4.6rpell, Ex City Administrator
-,/-.
SUBJECT: re Department Budget and Computer Request
Attached are two additional pieces of information
regarding the fire department, which I thought you should
have in connection with your review of their budget on
Tuesday evening.
TRAINING
First, you will notice in the proposed budget, that
there is a significant shift of personnel hours and dollars
toward training activities. I asked Chief Maczko to have his
Training Coordinator, George Lowe, prepare a memo describing
the department's training program. That memo is attached for
your information.
COMPUTERS
The second attachment is a four page memo from Chief
Maczko requesting acquisition of some new computer equipment
for the Department. As yop can see, the memo was written to
me some time ago, and John had actually requested that I
place this on a regular City Council agenda. However, since
the requested equipment is not included in the 1989 Budget,
and,it really relates to a long term equipment plan for the
department, I felt that the discussion more appropriately
belonged at the September 12th Budget Workshop. Beyond that,
the department's original 1990 Budget request included $1,980
for purchase of an Apple Laser Writer II Printer. I deleted
this from the recommended budget, because I believe that it
could be included with the discussion about potential
acquisitions yet this year.
The attached memo from Chief Maczko lays out a plan for
significantly increasing the computer capacity of the
department. Most significantly, the memo discusses the
access we now have to the CAMEO Hazardous Materials Program.
The Program has been made available by the Federal Government'
at a very nominal cost, and our Department has begun to use
it. I have personally observed the Program, and was very
impressed. There is,no doubt that all fire departments
either have begun to use the CAMEO system or will soon be
moving into that direction to comply with the Federal
Hazardous Materials Statutes.
As you can see, John is requesting the acquisition o
two Macintosh Ilcx computers for use in the station, with the
existing smaller Macintosh unit to be placed on the new
command vehicle. I am not a "Mac" expert, but understand
that the Ilcx and attendant disk drives requested would b
quite powerful computers. Police Chief Dennis Delmont, who
is a bit more of an expert on Macintosh, feels that these
would be appropriate pieces of equipment for the work that
the fire department is planning.
As detailed in John's memo, $3,000 of donations from
Mendota Heights Animal Hospital and Mendota VFW have been
obtained which could be applied toward the cost of
fulfilling the plan outlined. There is some question whe-
these monies would be available to the City, should we dei
not to put a computer on the command vehicle at this time
However, it would seem to me that the donors might be
amenable to letting us keep the money, if we had a longer
range plan for achieving that goal.
The bottom line is that an additional $5,346.10 of
unbudgeted funds are requested in 1989 to acquire the
equipment. If you add to this the $1,980 for the Laser
Writer Printer which I deleted from 1990 recommended Budg+
the total funds needed are $7,326.10. The number of fire
runs has been down quite substantially this year, and Chi
Maczko feels that there will be enough budget savings by
end of 1989 to pick up this cost without any additional
re -appropriation from General Fund Balance.
the
her
ide
In general, I am supportive of the direction the fire
department is taking with computer applications. The
hazardous substance information and record keeping
requirements being mandated by the Federal and State
governments are simply phenomenal,•and computers are the on
way to realistically to keep on top of this. In addition,
the department appears to be effectively using computers to
keep track of training records, fire reports, etc. As J hn
indicates, several department members are quite proficient
operation of the system, and if Council grants the request,
it is their intent that most of the fire fighters will 1 ar
how to access the hazardous substance material available in
the CAMEO system (it is quite easy to operate!)
The only significant questions that I had (and whic I
was not able to resolve prior to my departure) are:
ly
in
1. Is the timing right?
While there is no doubt that this is the "coming
thing", it appears that we would be on the leading edge of
departments in this area with computer access on the command
vehicle. There is always a risk at being first at anything.
2. Is the equipment right for the job?
In specific, we need to be satisfied that the
older Macintosh unit will, in fact, operate on the command
vehicle, and withstand the trauma of being in a mobile unit.
Apparently John learned a great deal about this at the
recent convention of International Association of Fire
Fighters, and will probably have some additional information
to share.
RECOMMENDATION
I am recommending that Council not try to make a quick
decision on this at the September 12th budget hearing,
although I did feel that you needed to be apprized of this
during your deliberations. Rather, I would suggest that you
schedule a time with John for all four of you to visit the
fire station, observing the department's use of computers, as
well as the request for the new command vehicle. Council can
then work with management staff and the fire department to
decide whether to go ahead with the requested acquisition of
this equipment in 1989, or as an alternative draw up a longer
range pian.
ACTION REQUIRED
Appropriate action for the September 12th budget hearing
would be to discuss this matter with Chief Maczko and
Assistant Chief Lerbs, then schedule a time for visiting the
station to observe how the computers would be used.

Memorandum
October 9, 1989
TO: Mayor, City Council, Acting City AdMin t r
FROM: Officer Mario Reyes v2242 P41
SUBJECT: D.A.R.E. Program
On 9/17/89 1 flew to Springfield, Illinois to attend the Drug Abus Resistance
Education (D.A.R.E.) Training Program. For the next two weeks I experienced
12-15 hour days of demanding, and intensive, training. The course curriculum
consisted of preparing and presenting lesson plans, which included techniques
in presenting a positive image of Police Officers, building self -e! I Iteem, in
children, learning alternatives to drug use, and maintaining my co osure in a
delicate situation.
Upon graduation, I realized that although this program was emotion lly and
physically draining, I was going home with the knowledge of a positive and
worthwhile program, and a special bond with the people I met, and worked with,
to achieve a common goal.
The D.A.R.E. program was developed in 1983 through a joint effort y the Los
Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles Unified School DistrLct. The
program, which is aimed at 5th and 6th graders, focuses on resistiig peer
pressures, building self-esteem, and learning ways to say no to al,-ohol and
marijuana in a positive, but ascertive, way.
D.A.R.E. targets the 5th and 6th graders because they have not yet been
exposed to the heavy pressures to use alcohol and marijuana. D.A.R.E.
concentrates mostly on alcohol and marijuana and refers to them as the
"gateway drugs". The reason that alcohol and marijuana are called the "gateway
drugs" is that these are the two drugs that most children try first.
The program is taught by a uniformed Police Officer in the classroom setting.
The developers of D.A.R.E. felt that uniformed Police Officers were best
qualified to teach the program because we see first hand the effects that
alcohol and marijuana have on children. Uniformed Police officers are also
known to have knowledge of the laws, knowledge of drug use and its impact on
society, and are respected and looked up to by most children of the targeted
group.
The program calls for the uniformed Police Officer to teach 17, 4°
sessions, one day a week. The uniformed officer also spends time
school grounds, so that the children from all grade levels can be(
with him. We hope this will develop a more positive relationship
Police and the children.

ith the
I will now be working with the Principals and Teachers of Mendota and Somerset
Schools, along with School District 197, in developing the D.A.R.E. program.
In developing the D.A.R.E. program, it will be necessary to purchase materials
that will assist in the presentation of the D.A.R.E. curriculum. I will be
submitting an itemized list of the necessary items needed, along with the cost
of these items, in the near future.
I am looking forward to starting the D.A.R.E. program, working with the
children, and developing a better relationship between the schools and the
Mendota Heights Police Department.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Chief Dennis Delmont, the
Principals of Mendota School and Somerset School, and the Mendota Heights City
Council for choosing me to initiate this program in the.schools, in an attempt
to introduce a positive environment for the children. with everyone's
commitment, and support, I believe the D.A.R.E. program will be a success.
Before going to Illinois, I received $200.00 in advance from the City of
Mendota Heights to cover expenses and materials. Enclosed please find the
receipts, a list of expenses, and the remaining money. Thank you.

Dear City Official:
The attached Legislative Policies have been recommended b k
the five AMM standing policy committees for adoption by tie
Board of Directors and General Membership as additions
and/or revised AMM Legislative Policy for the 1990
Legislative Session. The Board of Directors will be
meeting in about ten days to review and consider these
policies and any changes made by the Board will be forwarpea
to you as soon as possible thereafter. Policies adopted
last year for 1989-1990 continue for 1990 except for those
recommended for change by this year's action. i
The General Membership meeting to consider and approve t ese
policies has been set for Thursday evening, November 2,
1989. We will be sending you more detailed information
concerning this meeting in the near future but please
reserve this date on your calendar now. We are sending tie
proposed policies now to give you and your council as mu h
time as possible to peruse and discuss the various polic
recommendations. T
Policy adoption at this meeting requires a two thirds
majority vote of those present. Each city has one vote
except Bloomington has two votes, St. Paul has five vote
and Minneapolis has seven votes because of their larger
populations. We look forward to your active participati
this very important part of the AMM policy process.

the operation of the Fiscal Disparities program but because of the
interactiveness of one change upon another, it is difficult to
assess the total impact or change in the relative contribution and
distribution of fiscal disparities tax base. Thus, it seems
inappropriate to continue pursuit of a major change to the fiscal
disparities program until the proposed changes can be analyzed as
they would interact with the property tax system changes of
1989-1990. Therefore,
THE AMM REQUESTS THAT NO CHANGES BE MADE TO THE FISCAL DISPARITIES

90-23 DATA PRIVACY -AND OPEN MEETING (II -C)
Data privacy laws protect individuals from the release of
information to the public which the legislature has deemed to be
private or which could be unnecessarily harmful to the individual.
On the other hand, the open meeting law prohibits local government
units from holding closed sessions except when discussing pending
or actual lawsuits with an attorney or labor nego iations.
Unfortunately, many occasions have arisen in past ye rs where
local units in dealing' with individuals or employee di ciplinary
matters have been forced to either violate the Dat Privacy
Statutes or the Open Meeting Statute in order to fair y resolve
the issue.
The Minnesota Supreme Court in early 1989 finally resolved the
conflict between the two laws and did so by establishing a clearly
followed rule. When 'not public data' comes before publLc bodies,
either the data must not be released or the meeting must be
closed.
THE AMM SUPPORTS CONTINUING THE RULE INITIATED BY TH
COURT IN THE ANNANDALE ADVOCATE DECISION THAT MEETINGS
BODIES MUST BE CLOSED WHEN DATA CLASSIFIED AS OTHER THAN
TO BE DISCUSSED. IF THE LEGISLATURE DOES MODIFY THE LAW
BE CONSISTENT WITH THE ANNANDALE DECISION.

The 1989 legislature modified Minnesota Statutes 574.2 to allow
contractors to provide a letter of credit insteadof rformance
bond for contracts of less than $50,000. This is a n• pi provement
but still will create significant hardship with many reputable
small contractors. In todays market, projects in excess of
$50,000 are very common and are not really large jobs. The
emphasis should be in protecting the public.-
THEa AMM URGES THE•LEGISLATURE TO PROVIDE GREATER FLEX BILITY IN
MI:
CONTRACTOR GUARANTEES FOR CITIES BY ALLOWING IN ADDITION TO BONDS,
OTHER RELIABLE FINANCIAL SECURITY GUARANTEES, SUCH AS LETTERS OF
CREDIT, WITHOUT LIMITATION AS TO PROJECT COSTS.
90-25 DATA PRACTICES - GENERAL PUBLIC DATA
The Government Data Practices Act allows municipalities to charge
the actual costs of searching for, retrieving, and copying public
data if copies of the data are requested. The law prohibits
municipalities from charging the costs of searching for and
retrieving data.if a person asks only to inspect it. In many
cases, the searching and retrieving are the most time-consuming
aspects of supplying data. Making a copy is frequently only a
small portion of the time required and should not be the standard
for determining whether a charge is appropriate.
Profit-making enterprises have used this free service to augment
their businesses. For example, individuals have established
businesses for preparing special assessment searches. Personnel
from these , businesses use city facilities, including expensive
computer equipment, to obtain the special assessment data. The
personnel may also take significant amounts of staff time for
explanations of the data collected. They then dominate the
publicly provided telephone for lengthly periods to transmit the
information obtained. These businesses use city facilities and
nd
personnel as part of a profit-making enterprise, solely at
taxpayer expense. Municipalities should be allowed to charge for
retrieving and explaining public data whether or not the request
includes copying.
The law also prohibits municipalities from charging for
separating public from non-public data. This task may be very
time-comsuming and is necessary to protect the non-public data.
Municipalities should be allowed to charge for this service.
To preserve the Act's spirit and intent of keeping government
records open to inspection for public purposes, the new charges
proposed would not apply to the, media or to private citizens
requesting information about themselves or their own properties.
THE AMM ENCOURAGES THE LEGISLATURE TO AMEND 'MINN. STAT. 13.03,
SUBD. 3 TO ALLOW MUNICIPALITIES TO CHARGE FOR RETRIEVING AND
EXPLAINING PUBLIC DATA AND FOR SEPARATING PUBLIC FROM NON-PUBLIC
DATA. THIS AMENDMENT WOULD NOT APPLY, HOWEVER, TO THE MEDIA OR TO
PRIVATE CITIZENS REQUESTING INFORMATION ABOUT THEMSELVES OF THEIR
OWN PROPERTIES.
90-26 (II -G} COMPARABLE WORTH =j
The Minnesota Pay Equity Law mandated in' 1984 - that public
employers conduct a comparable worth study and report the results
-4-
0
to the state. Cities have consistently demonstrated their
continuing support of the concept and objectives of the law by:
.Virtually all of the 1,600 public agencies required to do so have
completed pay equity studies and submitted their reports to the
state in accordance with statute.
'-For each of these public•agencies,**first year implementation
costs were between 2% and 7% of payroll. This is a significant
continuing expenditure.to each public agency.
-To complete the 'mandated study, public agencies have invested
between $2,000 to $20,000,each, either in staff time or consultant
services or both. Additional costs will accrue for continuous
updates.
-Most agencies schedule• pay equity implementation by the state
mandated December 31, 1991, deadline or sooner.
-Pay equity has provided municipalities with a rational lbasis for
community employee compensation and classification systerqs.
The Commissioner of the Department of Employee Rela ions has
stated that there is no problem with pay equity implementation in
the vast majority of cases. To enhance the enforceability of the
statute, the legislature in 1987 adopted a requirement that all
plans be fully implemented no later than December 31, 1991, and
imposed financial penalties for noncompliance within hat time
frame. In the meantime, alleged pay inequities can be resolved
through 1) The Department of Human Rights process; 2) Court
system; or 3) Arbitration. Finally, there has been no
systematic research done by either the Department of Human Rights
or Department of Employee Relations to statistically sutstantiate
widespread pay equity implementation problems.
At this time it is too early to consider changes to the ay equity
law. Most units are in the implementation process, mainly using a
three year phased program. The cities and the legislature need
time to analyze the results of the implementation. To change
rules, criteria, definition or mandates in mid stream will only
cause more confusion, more unnecessary expense and in any cases
delays. The legislature needs to provide the tools (ability to
raise the dollars needed) and the time for local units to comply
willingly.
THE AMM URGES THE LEGISLATURE:
TO PROVIDE LEVY BASE ADJUSTMENTS FOR PAY EQUITY IMPLEMENTATION;
TO NOT ENDANGER ECONOMIC AND EFFICIENT PROVISION �F PUBLIC
-5-
SERVICES BY PROHIBITING PRIVATIZATION OR JOINT POWERS AGREEMENTS
FOR VARIOUS SERVICES. THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD NOT MANDATE THAT
PUBLIC AGENCIES ARE TO BE THE VEHICLE TO IMPLEMENT PAY EQUITY IN
THE PRIVATE SECTOR THROUGH CONTRACT COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS; AND
TO NOT MAKE CHANGES IN THE LAW UNTIL THE CURRENT IMPLEMENTATION
DEADLINE, DECEMBER 31, 1991, HAS ELAPSED. IN THE INTERIM, THE
DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYEE RELATIONS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO REVIEW ITS
PAY EQUITY REPORT FILES TO IDENTIFY STATISTICALLY THE NATURE AND
NUMBER OF PROBLEMS WHICH EXIST IN ACHIEVING STATE—WIDE PAY 'EQUITY
OBJECTIVES. THIS DATA, COUPLED WITH PUBLIC AGENCY EXPERIENCE IN
IMPLEMENTING COMPARABLE WORTH PLANS WILL PROVIDE THE BASIS FOR A
COOPERATIVE REVIEW BY DOER AND PUBLIC AGENCIES TO DETERMINE THE
NEED FOR REFINEMENTS TO THE PAY EQUITY LAW.
IF THE LEGISLATURE ELECTS TO CHANGE THE LAW THEN THE FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES SHOULD BE USED:
COMPARABLE WORTH INVOLVES ALL PUBLIC EMPLOYEES, MALE AND FEMALE,
OCCUPING ALL TYPES OF PUBLIC SECTOR POSITIONS. TRUE COMPARABLE
WORTH IMPLEMENTATION MUST THEREFORE INCLUDE ALL MALE, FEMALE AND
BALANCED JOB CLASSES — IT IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO CONCENTRATE ON ONE
CLASS OVER ANOTHER. THE APPROACH TO COMPARABLE WORTH SHOULD BE
COMPREHENSIVE, DEALING WITH ALL EMPLOYEES AT ALL RANKS. REGARDLESS
OF SEX. THIS IS THE ONLY EQUITABLE APPROACH.
ONE OF THE PRIMARY OBSTACLES BLOCKING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
COMPARABLE WORTH IS THE EXISTING STATE STATUTES WHICH DEFINE
CERTAIN EMPLOYEES AS ESSENTIAL AND OTHERS AS NON—ESSENTIAL AND
REQUIRE IMPLEMENTATION OF PAY EQUITY TO BE COLLECTIVELY BARGAINED.
ESSENTIAL EMPLOYEES DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO STRIKE, BUT MAY
UTILIZE BINDING ARBITRATION. ARBITRATORS ARE NOT BOUND TO
CONSIDER THE RESULTS OF COMPARABLE WORTH STUDIES. THIS CREATES A
SPECIAL CLASS OF EMPLOYEES WITH UNIQUE BARGAINING LEVERAGE.
HISTORY DEMONSTRATES THAT THIS LEVERAGE HAS RESULTED IN HIGHER
WAGES TO ESSENTIAL EMPLOYEES THAN NON—ESSENTIAL EMPLOYEES. THIS
INEQUITY MUST BE DISCONTINUED IN ORDER FOR FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF
COMPARABLE WORTH TO OCCUR. ARBITRATORS AND NEGOTIATORS SHOULD BE
REQUIRED TO CONSIDER COMPARABLE WORTH RESULTS FOR ALL EMPLOYEE
GROUPS. IF THIS DOES NOT OCCUR, ARBITRATION AWARDS SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED ALLOWABLE EXCEPTIONS TO PAY EQUITY IMPLEMENTATION.
_
THERE SHOULD BE NO LIMITATION ON THE TOOLS AVAILABLE TO PUBLIC
AGENCIES TO IMPLEMENT PAY EQUITY INCLUDING ACCELERATING OR
DECELERATING SALARY INCREASES, JOB RESTRUCTURING, PRIVATE
CONTRACTING, AND OTHER STRATEGIES.
WHILE PRIMARY CONSIDERATION NEEDS TO BE GIVEN TO COMPARABLE JOB
VALUE, MARKET CONDITIONS MUST ALSO BE CONSIDERED. THIS IS
NECESSARY BOTH TO ASSURE THAT MUNICIPALITIES ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE
TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN QUALIFIED CANDIDATES AND TO ASSURE THAT
ffell
CLASSIFICATIONS SIMILAR TO PRIVATE SECTOR JOBS ARE INOT PAID
INORDINATELY HIGHER WAGES THAN THOSE PAID IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR.
PAY FOR PERFORMANCE IS AN OBJECTIVE AS FUNDAMENTAL AS CbMPARABLE
WORTH. THE OBJECTIVE SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE TO PAY INDIVIDUALS ON
THE BASIS OF THEIR PERFORMANCE AND WORK VALUE. CHANGES SHOULD NOT
BE CONSIDERED WHICH UNDERMINE PAY FOR PERFORMANCE PRINCIPLES AND
IN EFFECT MAKE PAY.FOR PERFORMANCE AN EXCEPTION WHICH MUST BE
JUSTIFIED WHEN USED. INSTEAD, PAY FOR PERFORMANCE SHOULD BE THE
NORM USED FOR ADJUSTING EMPLOYEE SALARIES.
ANY DEFINITION OF PAY EQUITY IMPLEMENTATION MUST REC GNIZE AND
ACCEPT AS APPROPRIATE DIFFERENCES IN EMPLOYEE PAY OCCA IONED BY
TIME IN POSITION; MARKET, PAY FOR PERFORMANCE PRINCIPLES AND
CONTRACT SETTLEMENTS. IT MUST ALSO RECOGNIZE AND GIVE CREDIT FOR
GOOD FAITH IMPLEMENTATION EFFORTS AND THE FACT THAT COMPARABLE
WORTH IMPLEMENTATION IS AN ONGOING EFFORT. EACH TIME A SALARY
CHANGES, SO TOO DOES THE PAY STRUCTURE OF THE ORG NIZATION.
MUNICIPALITIES MUST THEREFORE EXAMINE THEIR PAY PLANS REGULARLY TO
ASSURE THAT THEIR PAY PLAN AND POLICIES ENSURE ACHIE EMENT OF
COMPARABLE WORTH INSOFAR AS POSSIBLE.
IF A GOVERNMENTAL UNIT CAN DEMONSTRATE A GOOD FAITH FFORT AND
CONTINUED PROGRESS TOWARD ACHIEVEMENT OF PAY EQUITY, N PENALTY
SHOULD BE ASSESSED.
90-27 CONCURRENT DETACHMENT AND ANNEXATION (II -N)
Prior to 1985 the changing of municipal boundaries initiated by
property owners was limited to the single case where their
property was totally surrounded by another community. The 1985
legislation opened the possibility up to all property owners to
initiate such action. This broad based allowance is p oblematic
in some instances because of the City expense and intercity
divisiveness that it causes.
IT IS THE POLICY OF THE AMM THAT THE PROVISION ALLOWIN PROPERTY
OWNERS TO PETITION FOR ANNEXATION BE MODIFIED TO ALLOW ITITIONING
UNDER ANY OF THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA.
-THE PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE BEEN DENIED A REASONABLE US OF THEIR

BE CONDUCTED BY A CONSULTANT TO BE SELECTED AND PAID FOR BY THE
PROPERTY OWNERS. THE CURRENT COMMUNITY MUST APPROVE THE SELECTION
OF THE CONSULTANT OR OFFER AN ALTERNATIVE CONSULTANT ACCEPTABLE TO

MUNICIPAL BOARD SHALL APPROVE A CONSULTANT. THE STUDY SHOULD

RAMIFICATIONS OF DETACHMENT AND ANNEXATION. THE STUDY SHOULD
ADDRESS PHYSICAL PLANNING ISSUES, DELIVERY OF SERVICE AND ANY
FINANCIAL RAMIFICATIONS TOGETHER WITH ANY IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.
THE PROPOSED PLAN FOR THE PROPERTY SHALL BE PRESENTED TO THE
CURRENT COMMUNITY. IF REJECTED BY THE CURRENT COMMUNITY, THE
PROPERTY OWNERS SHALL PRESENT THE PLAN TO THE OTHER COMMUNITY.

FAILING A MEDIATED RESULT, A REVIEW SHALL BE CONDUCTED BY THE
REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSIONS) OR METROPOLITAN COUNCIL WHERE THE
CITIES ARE LOCATED. COMMENTS WILL THEN BE FORWARDED TO THE
MUNICIPAL BOARD FOR CONSIDERATION.

An obvious source to evaluate for its potential as the necessary
provider of additional funds is the state and federal superfund.
However, the Superfund is a very limited resource which is only
available to deal with the most seriously polluted sites
presenting immediate health hazards. It will not be available
within the foreseeable future to address the growing number of
polluted sites that are encountered in the redevelopment process,
and that are characterized by relatively lower levels of
contamination and less immediate threats to public health.
The limitations of available redevelopment financing tools are
such that they are not effective for contaminated sites without
the infusion of an additional source of funds. To date, that
source of additional funds has not been available. The inability
to clean up and redevelop contaminated sites has significant
negative effects on the area in which the sites are located, and
has broad implications for general public health and safety. A
mechanism for treatment and redevelopment of affected sites must
be implemented.
THE AMM REQUESTS LEGISLATION THAT WOULD ESTABLISH A STATE
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE LOAN FUND TO PROVIDE LOANS TO MUNICIPALITIES
FOR THE PURPOSE OF CORRECTING EXISTING HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE
PROBLEMS WHICH PREVENT DEVELOPMENT OF A SITE.
90-33 LAND USE PLANNING (III -C)
Land use regulation by cities in the Metropolitan Area has been
governed by the Municipal Planning Act (MS 462) and the
Metropolitan Land Planning Act (MS 473). While not a perfect
framework, these acts have worked well for the vast majority of
cities in the metropolitan area. Land use control for cities is
more than just one of the many powers and occupies a significant
part of the work of city councils and their staff. It has a
significant impact on other community regulations, tax base,
economic development and redevelopment. It is a driving force for
creating service needs. Land use regulation is the common thread
which runs through most of a city's•functions and operations.
The legislation sponsored by the Governor's Advisory, Committee on
state local - relations (ACSLR) and introduced in the last two
sessions would have substantially. altered the overall land use
control framework including:
1. Diluting the authority of local elected officials thereby
reducing local accountability, particularly in the use of -
Conditional Use Permits and Variances.
-10-
U
2.
3.
Establishing a new legal framework which would reder moot
much of the existing case law and existing c des and
ordinances.
Leaving out significant aspects of present law whi h allows
local officials the discretion to manage develo ment in
their cities.
The proposed law may be well intentioned in attempting to create
uniform land use rules for counties, towns, and cities rather than
the present diverse enabling laws. However, need for suct a major
change has not been demonstrated at least for metropolitap cities.
The proposal also does not adequately address the i terface
between the State Act and the Metropolitan Land Planning Act. The
AMM through a special task force has been involved: in this
proposed revision to the state's land use planning enabling
statutes for two years. Significant improvements have been made
to the proposal as a result of this involvement but problems
still remain and ,the AMM may not support passage during the 1990
legislative session.
THE AMM DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT MAJOR CHANGE IS NEEDE IN THE
STATUTES WHICH GOVERN MUNICIPAL LAND USE PLANNING AND REGULATION.
THE AMM OPPOSES CHANGES WHICH WOULD REDUCE -LOCAL FLEXIB LITY AND
MANY OF THE CHANGES CONTAINED IN THE ACSLR SPONSORED LEGISLATION
ARE MORE PRESCRIPTIVE THAN CURRENT LAW. THE AMM DOES NOT, BELIEVE
THAT UNIFORMITY FOR THE SAKE OF UNIFORMITY IN STATE'STATUTES
GOVERNING MUNICIPAL LAND •USE CONTROLS PROVIDES SU STANTIAL
BENEFITS TO AMM MEMBERS. THE AMM WOULD SUPPORT LE ISLATION
CONTAINING MORE EXPLICIT AUTHORITY FOR LOCAL GOVERNI G BODIES
PROVIDED SUCH AUTHORITY IS PERMISSIVE. THE AMM WOULD N T OPPOSE
MODIFICATION OF STANDARDS FOR GRANTING VARIANCES AND ADJUSTMENTS
AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE CURRENT RIGID STANDARDS CONTAINED IN
STATUTES. ANY SUCH STATE ENABLING LEGISLATION MUST ADDRESS THE
INTERFACE WITH AND ELIMINATE CONFLICT WITH THE METROPOLITAN LAND
PLANNING ACT. THE COSTS TO LOCAL UNITS TO IMPLEMENT'SUCH LAW
SHOULD ALSO BE REIMBURSED.
90-34 STATE LICENSED RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES (GROUP HOMES)I(III-D)
The AMM believes that persons with disabilities are en itled to
live in the least restrictive possible environment and should have
a range of residential choices throughout the state. The AMM also
believes that residential. based facilities (i.e. Gro p Homes)
should not be concentrated. Over -concentration of such facilities
could have a negative impact on the community and on the facility
residents. Recent amendments to the Federal Fair Housin Act may
have an impact on the State's ability to regulate residential
based facilities. However, the AMM believes that the principles
- 11 -
contained in this policy are very appropriate and if state
legislation is pursued it should not conflict with the AMM
principles.
The residents of residential based facilities come from our
communities and the AMM believes that cities as one of the major
institutions of our society have a responsibility to be a part of
the solution by welcoming such facilities on a rational basis.
The AMM believes that cities have a responsibility to be part of
the solution, but it also believes that the state has the major
responsibility to assure that the residents living in residential
based facilities receive care and supervision appropriate to the
extent of their disability.
The state's deinstitutionalization policy is directly linked to
the need for more residential based care facilities in our cities
and the state has the responsibility to provide sufficient funding
to assure adequate care and supervision of the residents placed in
such facilities. The state also has the responsibility to notify a
city when such a facility is licensed so that the city is prepared
to deal with emergencies that might occur in such a facility.
The AMM also believes that the state has a responsibility to
screen clients, particularly in the corrections area, so that
persons placed in residential based facilities are not a danger
to themselves, fellow residents, or the community.
THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING PRINCIPLES WHEN
DEALING WITH THE ISSUES OF DEINSTITUTIONALIZATION AND RESIDENTIAL
BASED FACILITIES:
-THERE MUST BE TIMELY NOTIFICATION TO CITIES WHEN A RESIDENTIAL
FACILITY LICENSE IS ISSUED OR RENEWED IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE CITY
ADEQUATE OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND.
-STEPS MUST BE TAKEN TO AVOID THE CLUSTERING OF COMMUNITY
RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES ATTRIBUTABLE TO ECONOMIC, GEOGRAPHIC OR
PROGRAMMATIC EXPEDIENCE. STANDARDS OF NONCONCENTRATION FOR THE
STATE OR FOR COUNTY -ISSUED RFP'S SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED. IN
ADDITION, FINANCIAL INCENTIVE PROGRAMS FOR PROVIDERS LOCATING IN
NON -CONCENTRATED AREAS SHOULD BE EXPLORED.
-THERE MUST BE ADEQUATE STATE FUNDING SO THAT THE RESIDENTS OF
THESE FACILITIES RECEIVE PROPER CARE AND SUPERVISION.
-THERE MUST BE A REALISTIC ONGOING SCREENING PROCESS TO ASSURE
THAT PERSONS PLACED IN A RESIDENTIAL FACILITY WILL BENEFIT FROM
SUCH LIVING ENVIRONMENT AND WILL NOT BE A DANGER TO THEMSELVES OR
OTHERS. THE LICENSING AUTHORITY MUST BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REMOVING
-12-
ANY PERSONS FOUND- INCAPABLE OF CONTINUING IN SUCH ENVIRONMENT.
-FACILITIES LICENSED BY THE CORRECTIONS DEPARTMENT SHOULD NOT BE
EXEMPT FROM REASONABLE LOCAL LAND USE REGULATIONS.
-ANY LEGISLATION EFFECTING LAND USE CONTROLS SHOULD BEIEXPRESSED
IN TERMINOLOGY CONSISTENT WITH LOCAL LAND USE CONTROLS.
90-36 NEIGHBORHOOD LIVEABILITY
Rapidly evolving,social,'demographic, economic and b havorial
changes are converging on many cities creating new challenges that
exceed their capacity to deal effectively with t eir new
environments. These forces are having an immediate and drastic
impact on certain neighborhoods. For example, affected cities are
experiencing increased demands for public safety and protective
inspection servicesiat a. time when their, residential task base is
eroding. High rental vacancies and dilapidated housing make
maintenance of housing stock especially difficult. Al o, aging
housing stock is not being rehabilitated, but abandoned. Growing
concentration of low income households, many of hom are
minorities, raise particular challenges. Drugs and criminal
activity discourage many from locating in areas offering
affordable housing. Additional human service and educational
needs are experienced by community agencies and school.' Finally,
the 'flight of avoidance' by families and businesses hat give
diversity, strength and leadership to the community is creating
long-term problems that need to be addressed immediately.
These combinations of challenges exceed many com unities'
financial and staffing capabilities to resolve the issues at hand.
These problems, if not adequately addressed, will spread to other
cities, resulting in premature economic losses; i.e., property
equity, long-term community instability, and the under utilization
of.public infrastructure.
THE CHALLENGES CITIES FACE. WITH DETERIORATING NEIGHBORHOODS,
CRIME, AND DRUGS NEED THE COOPERATIVE EFFORTS OF PUBLIC, PRIVATE,
AND BUSINESS INTERESTS TO SOLVE. CITIES HAVE EXPANDED PUBLIC
SAFETY, INSPECTION, AND HEALTH PROGRAMS; HAVE AGG ESSIVELY
REPAIRED AND REPLACED INFRASTRUCTURE; I.E., REPLACED STREETS AND
PUBLIC UTILITY LINES; HAVE REMOVED DISEASED TREES, R DEVELOPED
PARKS, REFURBISHED OR REPLACED NEIGHBORHOOD CIVIC FACILI IES; AND
HAVE DEVELOPED PROGRAMS TO ASSIST LOW AND MODERA E INCOME
FAMILIES, -YET PROBLEMS CONTINUE TO GROW.
CITIES SHOULD TAKE THE LEAD IN DEVELOPING STRATEGIES ON'HOW BEST
TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUES. FOR EXAMPLE, INCREASED LEVELS OF PUBLIC
SAFETY, PROTECTIVE INSPECTION, EDUCATIONAL, AND REC EATIONAL
-13-
SERVICES NEED TO BE ESTABLISHED AT TARGETED AREAS AND PROBLEMS.
STATE AID AND GRANT PROGRAMS SHOULD BE ALLOCATED TO CITIES,
COUNTIES, AND SCHOOLS TO ASSIST IN THE DELIVERY OF BASE LINE
SERVICES. TO COMPLIMENT THIS,,TAX POLICIES THAT ENCOURAGE QUICK
REHABILITATION AND/OR REDEVELOPMENT OF AGING PROPERTY NEEDS TO BE
STRENGTHENED.
SEVERAL SPECIFIC STRATEGIES AND PROGRAMS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED,
INCLUDING: .
-AN EQUITY GUARANTEE PROGRAM - A MAJOR DEVELOPING PROBLEM IN SOME
AREAS IS A HESITANCY TO PURCHASE HOMES FOR FEAR OF DECLINING
VALUES. A PROGRAM WHICH GUARANTEES EQUITY COULD ALLEVIATE SUCH
FEARS. SUCH A PROGRAM SHOULD BE LIMITED TO OWNER -OCCUPIED
DWELLINGS AND TO AREAS WHICH MEET PREDETERMINED CRITERIA. OTHER
CONDITIONS, SUCH AS CODE COMPLIANCE AND MINIMUM TIME OF OWNERSHIP
COULD APPLY. THE PROGRAM COULD OPERATE SIMILAR TO THE FHA
MORTGAGE INSURANCE PROGRAM AND, THEREFORE REQUIRE MINIMAL, IF ANY,
PUBLIC SUPPORT.
-CODE ENFORCEMENT - FOR AREAS JUST BEGINNING TO EXPERIENCE
DECLINE, ADDITIONAL CODE ENFORCEMENT CAN BE AN EFFECTIVE,
RELATIVELY LOW-COST STRATEGY. ADDING THIS CAPABILITY TO MUNICIPAL
BUDGETS CAN BE DIFFICULT HOWEVER, GIVEN RESTRICTIVE LEVY
LIMITATIONS. THE STATE SHOULD CONSIDER ALLOCATING FUNDS TO ASSIST
MUNICIPALITIES WITH CREATING OR EXPANDING HOUSING CODE ENFORCEMENT
PROGRAMS. CRITERIA COULD BE DEVELOPED AS TO WHEN MUNICIPALITIES
WOULD QUALIFY AND FOR HOW LONG THE STATE ASSISTANCE WOULD BE
AVAILABLE.
-EDA LEVY AUTHORITY - CITIES CURRENTLY HAVE LIMITED AUTHORITY TO
LEVY FOR EDA ACTIVITIES. CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO
EXPANDING THIS AUTHORITY.
-HOUSING COURT JURISDICTIONS - THE JURISDICTION OF CURRENT HOUSING
COURTS IS LIMITED TO MULTI -FAMILY BUILDINGS. ABSENTEE OWNERSHIP
OF SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLINGS IS BECOMING MORE OF A PROBLEM AS ONE
MOVES OUTWARD FROM THE CORE OF THE CENTER CITIES. CONSIDERATION
SHOULD BE GIVEN TO EXTENDING THE JURISDICTION OF HOUSING COURTS TO
SINGLE - FAMILY BUILDINGS.
-RESIDENTIAL MARKETING - AREAS OFTEN SUFFER FROM PERCEPTIONS,
WHICH UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION ARE NOT ACCURATE. FURTHER, MANY
AREAS WITH OLDER HOUSING OFTEN HAVE A NUMBER OF ATTRACTIVE
FEATURES WHICH MAY NOT BE WIDELY:KNOWN.-WHILE CITIES ARE BECOMING
INCREASINGLY ADEPT AT MARKETING THEMSELVES TO ATTRACT BUSINESS
DEVELOPMENT, MOST DO NOT SIMILARLY MARKET THEMSELVES TO ATTRACT OR
RETAIN NEW RESIDENTS TO THEIR EXISTING HOUSING STOCK. THE STATE
SHOULD ASSIST CITIES WHICH MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA IN DEVELOPING

METROPOLITAN AGENCIES
90-41 METROPOLITAN COUNCIL BUDGET AND WORK PROGRAM PROCESS (IV -F)
The Metropolitan Council has an annual budget approChing 15
million dollars and, its programs impact the two ml -'ion plus
people living in the metropolitan area. The budget'document
should con ' vey sufficient! information ,so. that the - resil ents can
determine ' - whats-1:product I is being produced and how much the
1productl,i costs :and: the . benef its. The budget proce s should
commence early enough in the annual adoption cycle so that the
residents can provide meaningful input as to goal and pr*orities.
41-1 BUDGET DETAIL AND SPECIFICITY
The annual budget and work program document has been iiiproved in
recent years and contains more detail and specificity which
enables public interest groups to make more easoned
recommendations but further improvements can be made. .;
MANDATED OR NON DISCRETIONARY PROJECT, PROGRAMS AND CTIVITIES

STATE LEVEL ACTIVITY.
90-42 WATER MANAGEMENT IN METROPOLITAN AREA (IV -H)
In order to safeguard the public health and the environment it is
necessary to plan and manage our water resources as a valuable
state and metropolitan resource. Most Water Management
Organizations (WMO's), cities, and towns are doing 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.
Local units of government should retain the basic responsibility
for surface water management, as they are the level of government
closest to the problem.
A major study is now underway under the direction of BOWSR to
determine the effectiveness and appropriateness of the existing
metropolitan area water planning and management structure. The
AMM is represented on the study committee.
THE AMM WILL WAIT FOR THE RESULTS OF THE REPORT FROM THE BEFORE
MENTIONED STUDY BEFORE MAKING SUBSTANTIAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
CHANGE IN THE STRUCTURE OR AUTHORITIES FOR WATER PLANNING AND
MANAGEMENT. THE AMM DOES SUPPORT THREE SPECIFIC ACTIONS WHICH ARE
NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE STUDY:
-THE SPECIAL LEVY STATUS SHOULD BE REINSTATED FOR -THE COSTS OF
IMPLEMENTING THE SURFACE AND GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT ACTS.
-THE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY BOARD (EQB) OR MINNESOTA BOARD OF WATER
AND SOIL RESOURCES (BOWSR) SHOULD EXAMINE•THE 1987 METROPOLITAN
GROUNDWATER PLANNING ACT AND ASSESS IF COUNTIES ARE THE LOGICAL
ENTITY AROUND WHICH TO STRUCTURE GROUNDWATER MANGEMENT IN THE
METROPOLITAN AREA.
-THE LEGISLATURE 'SHOULD PROVIDE FUNDS FOR ANY ADDITIONAL WATER
PLANNING ACTIVITIES IT MANDATES ON CITIES.
90-43 WASTE STREAM MANAGEMENT (IV -I)
The problem of managing the waste stream (for all types of waste)

While much has been accomplished 'during the past decade in
improving'the waste stream management system. Much remeins to be
done and any future legislation should take into ac.2ount the
following precepts.
43-1 INTEGRATED WASTE STREAM PLANNING
The disposal of solid waste is a multifaceted problem which will
require the cooperation and participation of all Levels of
government and the private sector to effectively develcp a solid
waste system which is cost effective and environmentally sound.
To achieve such a system, all elements of the waste nanagement
hierarchy (reduction, reuse, recycling, composting, inci ceration,
landfilling) must be utilized. Further, it must be rea ized that
an effective "system" begins before materials become 11w stell and,
as such, a comprehensive view of the entire life cycle q products
is needed in order to succeed.
-THE AMM ENDORSES THE CONCEPT THAT SINCE GOVERNMENT IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL, IT -HAS A 'LEGITIMATE INTEREST IN BEING
INVOLVED IN OVERALL WASTE STREAM MANAGEMENT. THIS' EANS 'THAT
GOVERNMENT'S INTEREST BEGINS BEFORE MATERIALS BECOME "WISTE.11
I
-THE AMM ENDORSES A WASTE MANAGEMENT HIERARCHY WHIC INCLUDES
REDUCTION, REUSE, RECYCLING, COMPOSTING, INCINER -ITION AND
LANDFILLING. FURTHER, A COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEM MUS INCLUDE A
MIXTURE OF ALL THESE ELEMENTS AND SHOULD NOT RELY SOLEY ON ANY
ONE ELEMENT.
-THE AMM ENCOURAGES MORE ATTENTION BE GIVEN TO THE ALTERNATIVES OF
REDUCTION, REUSE AND RECYCLING BY ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT.
+THE STATE SHOULD FUND THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN
EDUCATION PROGRAM, WHICH ACTIVELY ENCOURAGES CITIZENS TO RECYCLE,
COMPOST, REUSE AND REDUCE WASTE GENERATION.
+LEGISLATION SHOULD BE INITIATED TO REQUIRE MANUFACTURERS OF
PACKAGING AND PRINT MATERIALS TO ESTABLISH RECYCLING AICD REUSE
MARKETS.
+ESTABLISH STATE REGULATIONS WHICH REQUIRE BEVERAGE AND FOOD
RETAILERS TO HAVE A DEPOSIT AND RETURN PROCESS IN PLACE FOR
REUSABLE AND RETURNABLE CONTAINERS.
-LEGISLATION SHOULD BE INITIATED TO REQUIRE DEPOSITS ON ITEMS
WHICH DO NOT HAVE A VIABLE RECYCLING MARKET.
-THE AMM OPPOSES ANY LEGISLATION WHICH WOULD LIMIT LOCAL
INITIATIVES IN WASTE STREAM MANAGEMENT.
-AMM SUPPORTS COMPOSTING AS A TECHNIQUE FOR REUSE OF YARDWASTES
AND OTHER APPROPRIATE COMPONENTS OF THE SOLID WASTE STREAM. GIVEN
THE JANUARY 1, 1990 PROHIBITION ON LANDFILLING - YARDWASTE,
RESIDENTS AND REFUSE HAULERS NEED TO BE IMMEDIATELY PROVIDED WITH
CONVENIENT LOCATIONS TO DEPOSIT BRUSH AND OTHER YARDWASTES FOR
PROCESSING. COUNTIES WITH THE ASSISTANCE FROM THE STATE SHOULD BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR LOCATING AND OPERATING COMPOSITING FACILITIES.
43-2 HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
The improper disposal of hazardous wastes, through landfilling or
incineration, poses a major risk of water and air pollution. Much
has been done to monitor the generation and proper disposal of
hazardous waste by business and industry, and these efforts should
continue. However, the reduction, control and proper disposal of
household hazardous wastes is a significant concern which needs to
be addressed.
(A.) HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE.
THE AMM SUPPORTS A STATE-WIDE PROGRAM TARGETED TO THE REDUCTION
AND PROPER MANAGEMENT OF HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTES, INCLUDING:
-PERMANENT DROP .OFF OR DISPOSAL SITES - STRATEGICALLY AND
CONVENIENTLY LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE STATE WHERE ALL TYPES OF
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTES CAN BE TAKEN FOR PROPER HANDLING,
PROCESSING, OR DISPOSAL.
-EDUCATIONAL AND POINT-OF-SALE INFORMATION FOR CONSUMERS NOTIFYING
THEM OF THE HAZARDOUS NATURE OF CERTAIN PRODUCTS AND THE
IMPORTANCE OF PROPER HANDLING.
-19-
-INVOLVEMENT OF THE GENERATORS (RETAILERS) IN THE MI
SYSTEM FOR HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTES TO HELP ASSUR
HANDLING`AND PROCESSING.
-INFORMATION TO CONSUMERS ALERTING THEM TO NON-
SUBSTITUTES FOR HAZARDOUS HOUSEHOLD PR(
-ENCOURAGEMENT WHICH COULD INCLUDE INCENTIVES TO'MANUFA
PRODUCE LESS HAZARDOUS PRODUCTS FOR USE IN HOUSEHOLDS.
PRIORITY OF THE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT SYS
REDUCE THE AMOUNT PRODUCED.' r
(B.) COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL HAZARDOUS WASTE.
THE AMM SUPPORTS CONTINUED EFFORTS AT THE STATE LEVEL T(
MANAGE INDUSTRIAL HAZARDOUS WASTES, INCLUDING THE RE -USE,
AND RECYCLING OF AS MUCH HAZARDOUS WASTE AS POSSIBLE. 7
CANNOT BE RE -USED OR REPROCESSED MUST BE DISPOSED
ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND MANNER. MANUFACTURERS SHOULD
ENCOURAGED TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF HAZARDOUS MATERIAL;
THEIR MANUFACTURING PROCESSES.
43-3 METROPOLITAN/COUNTY RESPONSIBILITIES.
As noted previously, the cities have the responsibility
collection including implementing and managing, most
type programs. The other waste stream mar
responsibilities are,basically split between the Met
Council and the Counties. Considerable progress has bee
recent years in certain parts of the waste stream j
system particularly those aspects for which ci
responsible. But several significant problems beyond ti
of cities are becoming evident including: the inabil
counties to site needed waste facilities (landfills,
stations, compost sites, etc.), fluctuating and/or lack
for some recyclables, uneven funding among counties to r
tech systems, and the radical variance in dispo
throughout the metropolitan area. Some of these pr
urgent and significant changes may need to be made in
stream management system in the metropolitan area. S
current waste •stream management concerns are simil
concerns which precipitated the formation of other
commissions.
SERIOUS CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE FORMA
REGIONAL SOLID WASTE COMMISSION. IT COULD BE PATTERNED
LINES OF THE RTB STRUCTURALLY INCLUDING HAVING LOC
OFFICIALS SERVING AS COMMISSIONERS. MORE ANALYSIS AN]

METROPOLITAN COUNCIL
-MOST OTHER FUNCTION PERFORMED BY THE COUNCIL EXCEPT FOR THE
PLANNING FUNCTIONS (LONG RANGE POLICY PLANS, ETC.).
-COORDINATION OF MARKETING EFFORTS FOR RECYCLABLES.
43-4 LOCAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES
The AMM acknowledges that cities have certain responsibilities in
helping to manage and implement an effective solid waste
management )system including recycling programs and the collection
systems.
THE AMM BELIEVES THAT THE SYSTEM OUGHT TO BE FLEXIBILE AND BASED
ON PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AND/OR GOALS RATHER THAN MANDATED
TECHNIQUES. TO HELP ACHIEVE RECYCLING AND ABATEMENT GOALS, THE
AMM WOULD SUPPORT THE CREATION OF A DISPOSAL SYSTEM WHERE
INCENTIVES ARE PROVIDED TO RESIDENTS WHO REDUCE THEIR VOLUME OF
WASTE THROUGH ABATEMENT, RE -USE AND SOURCE SEPARATION ACTIVITIES.
THE RESPONSIBILITIES NOW ASSIGNED TO CITIES FOR SOLID WASTE
MANAGEMENT SHOULD REMAIN WITH THE CITIES.
43-5 FUNDING
The current funding system for solid waste has a number of
drawbacks: It does not encourage maximum utilization of the waste
disposal hierarchy; it often gives no incentive to individual
residents to participate in recycling; it does not differentiate
between generators of 'clean' waste and 'problem' waste; and it
has given no assurances that the main sources of funding are
related to the entities incurring expenses.
-AMM BELIEVES THAT IN GENERAL FUNDING THE SOLID WASTE SYSTEM
SHOULD COME FROM THE GENERATORS OF SOLID WASTE THROUGH THE COST OF
DISPOSAL. IN PRACTICAL TERMS, THIS MEANS THAT THE TIP FEE SHOULD
BE THE GENERAL, ALL-PURPOSE VEHICLE FOR FUNDING.
-AMM BELIEVES THAT THE SALES TAX -AS A FUNDING MECHANISM IS NOT
DESIRABLE, SINCE IT APPLIES NOT ONLY TO DISPOSAL, BUT ALSO TO THE
SERVICE OF COLLECTION.
-IN GENERAL, THE FUNDING SYSTEM SHOULD ENCOURAGE MAXIMUM USE OF
THE WASTE HIERARCHY. IT SHOULD COST MORE TO DISPOSE OF WASTE IN
LANDFILLS THAN IN RESOURCE RECOVERY FACILITIES.
-AMM SUPPORTS THE CONCEPT THAT MATERIALS WHICH CAUSE SPECIAL
-21-
PROBLEMS IN THE WASTE STREAM SHOULD BEAR THE COSTS (THROUGH THE
COST OF PURCHASING THE MATERIALS) ASSOCIATED WITH THESE PROBLEMS.
-AMM ENCOURAGES PROVIDING FINANCIAL INCENTIVES SUCH AS VARIABLE
AND DIFFERENTIAL FEES TO RESIDENTS WHO PARTICIPATE IN RECYCLING.
-AMM BELIEVES THAT ANY FUNDING SYSTEM MUST GUARANTEE DISTRIBUTION
OF THE MONIES TO ALL ENTITIES INVOLVED IN THE SYSTEM.
43-6 ORGANIZED COLLECTION
Organized collection serves as a viable and important ethod for
municipalities to achieve solid waste abatement. It s a type
of service agreement that allows cities proper regulat I
ry power
over their solid waste collection system.. It provides
municipalities the opportunity to choose the type of s lid waste
collection that would best serve their residents.
'Just Compensation'.legislation is designed o limit
municipalities regulatory power in the area of so id waste
collection. In placing severe financial pen11on
municipalities that undertake organized collectio. , 'Just
Compensation' legislation infringes on municipalities rights to
establish intangible service agreements for municipal se vices.
-THE AMM ENDORSES THE CONCEPT OF ORGANIZED COLLECTION A A VIABLE
METHOD FOR MUNICIPALITIES TO ASSERT REGULATORY POWER VER THEIR
SOLID WASTE COLLECTION SYSTEMS.
-THE AMM BELIEVES THAT ORGANIZED COLLECTION MUST CONTIG UE TO BE
AVAILABLE TO CITIES AS THEY CHOOSE A TYPE OF SO ID WASTE
COLLECTION SYSTEM THAT WOULD BEST SERVE THE NEEDS' OF THEIR
RESIDENTS.
-THE AMM OPPOSES ANY LEGISLATION THAT WOULD IMPOSE COMPENSATION
PENALTIES ON MUNICIPALITIES WHO CHOOSE TO IMPLEMENT A S LID WASTE
COLLECTION SYSTEM.
43-7 HOST CITIES AND CLEANUP RESPONSIBILITIES
While solid waste facilities.are components of county a
solid waste management systems, they must be located in
cities. Because the -number of facilities is limited, t
of hosting these facilities is not equally shared amo
Most of these effects are negative - an increased like
incidence of water, soil, air, and noise pollution; an
amount of litter and offensive odors; a greater lik
adverse impacts on values of neighboring properties;
increased maintenance on public streets and high
potential threats to public health and welfare in area

`facilities.
The trend within the ' me'tropolitan ' area has ' been to internalize
present and future costs of solid'waste management on current
generators of solid waste. These costs should include the extra
and adverse financial impacts borne by host' communities. ,Cities
host these regional facilities because of accidents of geography.
Liabilities for these facilities should be shared across the
region.
-THE AMM SUPPORTS THE CURRENT COMPENSATION LEVEL ALLOWED THROUGH
SURCHARGE FEES AS A MINIMUM LEVEL; THIS COMPENSATION SHOULD BE
CONTINUED OR INCREASED. THIS FORM OF COMPENSATION SHOULD BE
AVAILABLE TO ALL TYPES OF SOLID WASTE FACILITIES.
I,
-THE AMM BELIEVES THE HOST COMMUNITIES SHOULD NOT BEAR A
FINANCIAL LIABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH SOLID WASTE FACILITIES. COSTS
INCURRED FOR MONITORING OPERATIONS AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS SHOULD
BE BORNE BY FACILITY OPERATORS OR, IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH
REGULATIONS, BE ASSUMED BY THE STATE OF MINNESOTA. LEGISLATION
NEEDS TO BE STRENGTHENED SO AS TO EXEMPT CITIES FROM ANY PRESENT
AND FUTURE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OPERATIONS OF SOLID WASTE
FACILITIES. LEGISLATION SHOULD FURTHER ESTABLISH THAT PROCEEDS
FOR FUTURE REMEDIAL ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIONS BE IN A TRUST FUND.'
-THE AMM WILL SUPPORT LEGISLATION WHICH CLEARLY ARTICULATES THAT
REMEDIAL ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVITIES ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY ONLY ON
THE PERMITTED OPERATOR AND/OR THE STATE OF MINNESOTA.
-THE AMM BELIEVES THAT LOCAL PROPERTY TAXING AUTHORITIES SHOULD
NOT BE FORCED TO LEVY HIGHER PROPERTY TAX RATES BECAUSE SOLID
WASTE FACILITIES MAY DEPRESS PROPERTY VALUES WITHIN PARTS OF THE
TAXING JURISDICTION. OPERATORS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY
ADDITIONAL FEES COMMENSURATE WITH THE ADVERSE TAX REVENUE IMPACT
RESULTING FROM LOWER VALUES ON NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES.
-THE AMM WILL SUPPORT MEASURES WHICH REQUIRE THAT OPERATORS OF
SOLID WASTE FACILITIES GUARANTEE THE PURCHASE VALUE OF PROPERTIES
WHICH ARE INFLUENCED BY THEIR PROXIMITY TO THOSE FACILITIES.

County State Aid Highways located within cities ay not be
abandoned, changed, or revoked without the concurrence of the
governing body of the city unless the city refuses or neglects to
-24-
approve plans for construction which are in conformance with CSAR
standards for a period of one year. Counties would like the
authority to change designation without preparing expensive plans
and without city concurrence based on changing conditions. Cities
are concerned about abandonment of major county roadways without
appropriate maintenance. Therefore;
THE AMM OPPOSES ELIMINATION OF CITY COUNCIL CONCURRENCE FOR COUNTY
STATE AID HIGHWAY ABANDONMENT, CHANGE, OR REVOCATION UNTIL SUCH
TIME AS STANDARDS CAN BE DEVELOPED.

1990 Property Tax Review
Based on information we now have, the following is a
review of how the revenue transfers should affect the Cit
and its tax payers.
1. The City will loose LGA of $237,409
2. The City Residents will loose
homestead credit - $153,609
3. The school district will have a reduced
levy limit representing the transfer from
Mendota Heights (similar reductions will
result from transfers from West St. Paul
and Eagan). - $391,015
4. Tax Capacity on property will be reduced as
follows:
5. Various County costs such as courts and human
services expense will be funded by the State
and will result in an equal reduction in their
levy limit.
6. Homeowners receiving tax increases of 10 perc
qualify for a state credit if their income is

and will result in an equal reduction in their
levy limit.
6. Homeowners receiving tax increases of 10 perc
qualify for a state credit if their income is
less than $60,000, up to $250 for 1990 and 1991
taxes. The maximum refund increases to $325 in,
1994.
The net result of the tax bill, we are told, should
slight increase for homeowners of $68,000 homes and a
reduction for those of higher value. This results in a
to the local governments of a higher percent of their co
while the transfer results in the State paying a higher
of school and county costs.
The tax increase notice, which we must publish, wil
contain an explanation as to the increase due to loss of
state aid.
The City represents a small 17 percent, of the tota
levy, and we have not control over the levies of other
government units. With the reduced levy limits for the
county and school, our net taxes, as proposed, result in
stand off for our residents.
