Objections of L,:_;wronca Clark, 6720 Southcrest Drive, were reviewead. One of
the objections r :as thzt-1 the street is not fully built up, and subsequent heavy
hauling may bra@!: up the improved street. It brought out, after a question
by the Council that a few lots at the Porth end of the street are not vet- built
on, but that the rest oY' tho street is largely built up, with some four houses
about ccmplete6 hut not yet occupied. There were no other objections to the pro-
posed improvement-, and 'Chase in tho audience asltad that worl, be expedited. 'Manager
Hyde told Council that part of Clark's problem arises from an agreement .hich
he had with the '.7co6hill developers to the effect that corner lots would not be
assessed for the full corner. 7,1r. 11,'ohler told audience that it is immaterial to
the Council as to which way this improvement is assessed- -that if majority agrees
to assume a share of the "corner lot" assessment this can be done. Eo offers %• „ere
made from the audience for this type of assessment. (See Resoluticn of later in

Council Members,
JVillage of Edina,
t Edina, Minnesota.
Gentlemen:
The following is a report of the interviews with Standard and Poor and Moodys in
their New York offices where Mr. Hyde, Mr. Dalen, Mr. Nelson of the Home Builders Assn.
and myself called on them. The purpose of the interviews was to find'out as much as
possible about what factors determine the rating of a municipality's bonds, how high
the debt of Edina can safely go without jeopardizing our Baa rating, and whether or not
it would be advisable to revise our present policy regarding financing of sewer and water
in new developments as the Home Builders Association has requested.
We interviewed Mr. Tyler of Standard and Poor and Mr. Dalen presented complete
financial data on Edina to him. Mr. Tyler explained that they were strictly an invest-
ment house and any ratings they placed on municipal bonds were primarily for their own
accounts and did not necessarily conform to any formula or ratings by other investment
houses. He mentioned that many suburbs in the East no longer encourage development,
also that a residential suburb pleasant to live in might not be as good an investment
risk as one with considerable industry that is not such a desirable place to live. The
lower the bonded debt of a municipality in relation to its total valuation, the more
desirable are its bonds. He would not say how high the ratio for Edina could.go with-
out changing our present rating. He did say that a few years ago they decided to lower
our rating but immediateIy restored it at the request of other investment houses. He
thought our projected debt for the next few years was high but would probably not change
our rating. He stated more industrial and commercial property would benefit us. He also
stated that a bond issue put out to finance sewer and water to help contractors in the
development of new areas would not affect our rating nor detract from our total borrowing
power if the payment of such bonds were guaranteed by surety bonds of good reliable
insurance companies furnished by the contractors.
We also interviewed Mr. Ellinwood of Moodys. He, too, told us there were many
things that were considered in determining the ratings of municipal bonds. He could
not give us any formula to go by nor could he tell us how high our debt could go in
relation to our assessed valuation and still keep our present rating. He did think
we were getting along allright on the present basis although he considered our present
debt high. One factor they watch carefully is the rate of growth of a community and
how well a community keeps up with present needs. Some communities postpone too long
needed schools, utilities and roads so that ultimately they run into great trouble try-
ing to catch up. He did not stress new industry as necessarily being highly important.
The taxes levied by the State and County are also a consideration. He did not favor
municipalities using their credit to finance private industries, such as contractors',
like we used to do, stating that it was bad public policy. If such a bond issue were
guaranteed by good surety bonds, however, he did concede that this issue might not be
included in our overall debt, provided Moody's and investors were well informed on the
matter whenever they made their ratings. He emphasized the need to specifically point
out the additional guaranty a surety bond would provide.

Later in the Meeting, after transaction of other business, and after Trustee Dickson
had been excused, the matter of Bond Credit luting as it relates to the Minneapolis
Home Builders Association's request for change in policy of financing utilities in
new land developments was again discussed. Manager Hyde recommended that the Villaga
still maintain a program of bringing down the Total Village Debt, both in' percentage
to assessed valuation and in actual dollars. Finance Director Dalen's tabulation of
the maximum amounts which could be set aside each year for the next five years for
tha.s particular type of financing was presented- and it was recommended that this
amount be backed by standard performance bonds; that the Village issue a separate
sc.eios of bonds for this particular type of financing. ?Ir. Hyde stated this plan
would set up maximulr,s to be allocated; that financing would be on a first -como first -
served basis. He stated that one of the main points made by the bond credit po6pl3
(1,occ -1, 's and Standard & Poor) was that the Village should show some progress in
zoducing cleft or at least in holding its own as valuations increase. Developer

that anyone who can qualify for a bond is in a position not to need one. This
srat:=raent was corroborated by developers Victorsen and Stour. I.tanager told Council
one of the problems is that of assuring, somehow, ic.hat streets will be
improvod; and developer Stow recommended that a heavy application of oil be
required), -rather than full permanent surfacing. Considerable additional discussion
was iiad, and because the hour was late and it was apparent that noticing could be

HIG1-r,-,'1AY 110. 100 U D HIGH-4AY NO. 169 PLANS DISCUSSED. 1ilanager Hyde reported that at
the Highway Department's Meeting of last Thursday evening it had become apparent
that the Department has no plans for a cloverleaf at Highway illo. 100 and Excelsior
Blvd.; also, that the traffic coming North on Highway No. 169 will have to turn
left off 11.50th Street (protected by stop signs) to continue onto No. 100; that
this will continue until new -g-169 is constructed. He reported that St.Louis Park
would like to get the Excelsior Blvd. intersection matter settled, and that,
because of the uncertainty of plans for i':;'169, Edina may be caught with two opposing
forces within its Village limits. Lir. Hyde also stated he believes the Department

that the Country Club protests have gone unanswered, that there is some protest

once again rejecCed `1-ha proposed dedication, as of this evening, skating ';.hat the
drainage problem is not theirs but is up to the Planning 6-om.nission and the Council;
that, until tbnight, tna iaatter of a cash dedica-"; ion in lieu of land dedication had

1'x. Hite's recomrnEndai.- ion for thc dcdication of Lots 7-16, Block 6.
Mr. Brown rcf:arxzJ U) iif. Kite's -1
memo, which indicate-, `-hat- lake 1�,val will be
raised to = feet, ha said, was an addit-ional foot over and above rifle the
Planning Cor..i-,,ission hat: first indicated that they needad5 and that this require
considerable fill on the lots adjacent to the lake, to provide for baseraants above
the water table.
He told Council Lhal.- after much discussion a•t the lask-, Planning Co.-amission
he had asked Pla-I be accepted on basis of Lir. Hite's s memno, hop-Ino that
the three principals involved, could effect some compromise with each ot-nar as to
Park dedication. Ee reported thet. the principals had been unable to reach agrasmant
on the proposed par!: ckdication contained in 1.1r. Hite's memo, and that he :-lad now
been instructed to offer the following solution Co the matter of Pz,-,-.': dedication:
7ha dovelcpers will ma!ze, a cash donation of -$50.00 per lot to ba used
11 1
for Park purposes, U_it- L-A-ley will not then be able to go to the s.-I.pansan
of filling the lots around the lake, which ex.pense has been astima'Ced
by iLr. Sto,.•j at appro-imataly $15,000; and, consequently, they trill not
dedicate the and will not grant an casement into the lake, and tl`lo
la::e then cannot be use6 for storm sewer purposes.
Village e',ttorney 'Hassclquis'Cl told Council he had talked with
Development representatives at the time develop.-nent was under way; and that it was
apparent, than, that the Village would have to condemn for storm sewer, all along
the way.
Developer Stoa was queried about the excavation which has occurred in this
area, and staked that scY,-.,.a e;,cavation had, been done in the low area, away from the
lal:e, but that it hEj,baen used on the property. Engincer Zilan told Council that
all the dixt excavated, for utilities cons L=LlCtion was used right back on the road;
that there was additional grading done by someone other than the Village, after the
Village had graded.

Question ,gas raised as to just what rights the Village has to the 1811:e
property as it e.,ists, now, and Mir. Hasselquist told Council than- rights exist
;nly so far as natural drainaae is concerned, that there is no right to increeso
lake storage capacity.
Vihen questioned about the normal lake level, Mr. Sullivan of 'Ellerbe and
Co., representing the developers, cited it at E16. Engineer Zikan asked what
a��turn h e is using, and he was unable to say. Manager I:yde told Council that
Planner Lana, who laid out the original plat, has stated the norr:ial lakw level
tu ;Do C.2;.
i.lr . Stow suggested that the presently proposed Parr dedica ,ion ( along
I;iglr, -Jay i o. 100) be retainec? by developers, with understan,aing that prrce�LA
frow High,,day cone ?emnation will be donated to the Village; and ivir. Eyedescn
suggested that this park might be accepted, and that Viilago take condemnation
award. and use it toward purchase of park in another location.
Trustee Beim asked developers if it ,,could not be necessary to d- c-eugo and
improve 'lie lake, if they should retain -title to it.
Hyde suggested that the Village have an opportunity to orl: from
submitted road profiles and plat topography maps to deterrine amount of
additional fill needed to bring lake lots up grades proposed by Village. He
s;.atc:d. 1-ie 'believes there have been some estimates that between 100,000 and
300,000 yards of earth would be 'taken off the plat site. Mr. Stow replied
'Tat his `715,000 estimate of cost for filling the lake lots is arrived at
by taking the dirt from the site and filling the ?ow lots with it.
Bradesen suggested that the matter of action on preliminary plat be 'cabled
for tzic weeks. Mr. Stow asked for permission to go ahead with his grading
pending Council action, and was advised not to do so. Dickson moved to table
C�
action for two weeks, and motion was seconded by Tupa and carried.
Trustee Dickson was excused from meeting at this time.
