To DECIARE CERTAIN ANIMAL NOISES TO BE A PUBLIC NUISANCE
Section 1. Sec. 29.(j) of Ordinance No. 312 is hereby amended to read as
(j) No person owning, operating, having charge of, or occupying, any building
or premise shall heep or allow to be kept, any animal which shall, by any

Chief Swanson stated the process of mailing and documentation is
Roger Dreher of 1 Spur Road explained that, because of a citation issued to him a
year ago about his dog, this Ordinance is before the Council now. Mr. Dreher
pointed out some highlights from the information he had submitted to the Council.
f5Q 23/6/90
Extensive research shows that addressing the willfulness of the violation, the
sensibility of the complaining party, a reasonable duration of the alleged
disturbance and adding elements of time of day and volume of the disturbance will
result in a constitutional and fair ordinance. Mr. Dreher added to not address
these issues would perhaps result in an increase in prosecution expenses with more
people going to Court than merely paying the fine.
as a good start, but suggested there be a longer waiting period between the
citation and issuance of a violation. He suggested that all new residents be
given a synopsis of the animal control ordinance when licensing their animal.
Mr. Dreher stated if this Ordinance passes a second reading, a vast majority of
the animal owners in the City would not be able to comply with it. He encouraged
a redraft that would address the letter and the spirit of the decision and end up
with-a fair and constitutional ordinance for the control of the animals.
He complimented the procedure
Member Rice asked whether new residents and pet owners upon licensing their dog
could be given a synopsis of the animal control ordinance and what the cost of
this would be. Manager Rosland said the cost would be minimal, between $500 and
$1000.
Mayor Richards said he was dismayed that this had gotten to this point without
regard to common courtesies between citizens and neighbors.

expressed his interest in knowing the cost of making up a synopsis in hard copy
and also in human resources before he would agree to it being done.
Member Paulus commented that only a small percentage of animals in the City are
licensed, and if they remain in your home or stay on your property they do not
require licensing.

YARD WASTE REBATE APPROVED FOR RESIDElpTS Janet Chandler, Recycling Coordinator,
explained that Hennepin County takes $1.90 out of the tip fee per ton for the
purpose of devoting that money to a compost program. Because the County has not
established a compost program, the funds are available to cities who have not cost
the county anything. Edina would be eligible to receive approximately $71,000.00.
Some cities are rebating directly to their residents, other cities have designed

ED= PUBLIC SCHOOLS REOUEST FOR REBATE OF EXCESS TAX INCREMENTS C0NTI”ED TO
9/4/90 WEETING Manager Rosland said a letter dated July 12, 1990, from Raymond
Smyth, Superintendent of Schools, had been received requesting the City to rebate
excess tax increments which had resulted from the 1988 School District Referendum.
This request was considered by the Council on July 24, 1989, and April 16, 1990.
Council, at the April 16, 1990, meeting, elected not to grant the rebate as the
rebate did not appear to increase the revenues of the school district. Council
stated their willingness to reconsider the request if the effect of the rebate
would be increased revenues to the district. In Dr. Smyth’s letter, the district
has now determined the rebate is not revenue neutral and would increase the
district‘s revenues. The district is now requesting the increments for the
1989-90 fiscal year as well as the 1990-91 fiscal year.
increments resulting from the 1988 referendum totalled $57,535.00 from the
Grandview and 50th/France tax increment financing districts. If Council were to
proceed with the rebate, if would be instituted for payable 1990 taxes.
rebate would occur after receipt of the 1990 tax settlements, and should be
conditioned upon collection of at least 95% of the expected taxes from each tax
increment financing district, i.e., no more than a 5% delinquency rate of total
tax revenue. The recommendation is for the rebate to be applied only for the 1990
payable taxes and to be considered annually thereafter. Manager Rosland commented
that Council may wish to require the rebate be used for projects of mutual benefit
to the District and the City.

The
Member Kelly asked what happened to the proposed legislation that school districts
be paid their money in a tax increment district, up front, before the money was
used to pay up bonds. Assistant Manager Hughes commented that a part of the law
passed this last session has a provision for districts created after the law was
passed whereby a city’s local government aid are reduced by the apparent capture
in tax increment districts of moneys that would otherwise flow to the state to be
used for education credits. Therefore, since the districts are pre-1974, the
districts are not affected.
reviewed every year, and agreed that suggestions for its implementation be given.
She asked if this is an issue now because of their being on a budgetary process.
Manager Rosland answered that since these funds are considered to be traditional
revenue and not revenue neutral, this was an encouragement to ask for the funds.
Member Smith stated he would be in favor of this rebate if the school district
could get a decisive ruling, in writing, from the Department of Education, that
these funds would remain in Edina.
Member Kelly recommended this be rebated, but
He does not favor Council recommending where

the money should be spent since the money was raised by a school referendum the
persons we elected to represent us should decide on where the money is spent.
Member Smith commented that City staff can get more leverage by keeping a list of
the rebate amounts as a reminder to the schools. This transfer should be done in
an appropriate fashion but not as a give-away.
Member Rice was in agreement with Member Smith that a spirit of cooperation should
be maintained with this rebate.
Mayor Richards said he was not in agreement, and questioned what would be the
scenario when the Richfield School District inquires about a rebate.

winafall.
This could create a problem with the treatment of one school district differently
from the other. Mayor Richards suggested that a letter be written to the school
district stating this had been taken under advisement and our answer is the same
as it was initially.
This has
These are municipal funds, and should stay within the municipality.
Motion vas made by Member Smith and seconded be Member Kelly for staff to do
further research on this and to revisit the issue on September 4, 1990.
Member Smith commented he would like a clarification of paragraph 3, in the July
12, 1990, letter from Superintendent Smyth, and what impact this wouXd have on the
southeast Edina area.

*RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF TRlwSpEB OF FUNDS AGREEMENT Finance Director
John Wallin provided Council with information regarding changes in the way First
Banks now handle their wire transfers. A central division within the bank will
now handle all wire transfers whereas in the past, a specified person at First
Bank would do transfers as well as other customer service tasks for the City.
That person will still do customer service with the exception of the wire
transfers. The central handling of these transactions will increase both the
speed and efficiency of the City's funds transfers as well as reduce the costs
involved.
