Speaking in objection to the project Mayor Richards then called for comments from the Council. Member Smith spoke to the following: 1) Contractor should be supervised to be sure City will get quality trimming, 2) Estimated cost of $44.40 per tree is good value, 3) Trees to be trimmed should be defined, 4) If homeowner takes care of own trees should not be assessed, and 5) City forester should provide standards for tree trimming to be followed by homeowner. Member Smith concluded by saying he felt the City's tree trimming program is a good one and that he would support the staff recommendation to assess the cost on a per inch per tree basis for all trees needing trimming. Member Rice alluded to an aerial photo of the Country Club area in 1927-28 when first developed and noted its barren look without trees. that all residents in that area benefit from the trees that now are there, that the assessment could be on an area wide basis, but he would support the staff recommendation on assessment. He said because he felt Member Paulus made these comments: 1) That the City forester tag the trees to be trimmed when he does the preliminary survey so that the homeowner would know which trees are to be included in the project, 2) After the work is done that a quality card be left with the homeowner for comments so that any argument could be resolved then rather than at the assessment hearing a year later, and 3) That having one contractor for the project would shorten the time during which a neighborhood would be disrupted. Member Paulus concluded by saying that, although she felt the whole area would benefit, she would support the project and the staff recommendation on assessment. Mayor Richards stated that he would support the program because under the City contract homeowners would benefit by cost savings. the staff recommendation on assessment which is based upon those directly benefitted.

Rules Advisory Committee has decided that, for the sake of uniformity with outstate counties who have held early hearings, there may be value in requiring that within 14 days of the day the defendant first comes to court the hearing would have to be held. Because I What has happened is the Supreme Court Criminal Attorney Hallberg pointed out that this procedure would be very costly for all cities as it would mean that the police officers involved in the arrest would have to be brought in for the omnibus hearing within the 14 day period. That would require payment of a vast amount of overtime to have the officers standby while waiting for their specific case to be called for hearing. be additional staffing costs to cover the voids when officers have to be at the courthouse awaiting the hearings. Thirdly, prosecution costs would increase as the hearings would be held downtown instead at the 4th District Courthouse in Edina. other duties just to handle these hearings. that there are issues as to admissible evidence and the early hearing will assist the prosecutors in negotiating the cases. it works.

Secondly, there would Eight of the 54 judges in Hennepin County will be pulled off all their The intent of the amended rules is However, in reality that is not the way Attorney Hallberg said the suburban city councils are being contacted so that a strong message could be sent to the Criminal Rules Committee before the amendments are implemented on January 1, 1991. for recession of the amendments.
