to the registered owner without charge, representing the
remaining principal amount outstanding.
As provided in the Resolution and subject to certain
limitations set forth therein, this Bond is transferable upon
the books of the City at the principal office of the Bond
Registrar, by the registered owner hereof in person or by his
attorney duly authorized in writing upon surrender hereof

aggregate principal amount, bearing interest at the same rate
and maturing on the same date, subject to reimbursement for any
tax, fee or governmental charge required to be paid with

neither the City nor the Bond Registrar shall be affected by
any notice to the contrary.

registrar, transfer agent and paying agent (the Registrar). The effect of
registration and the rights and duties of the City and the Registrar with respect
thereto shall be as follows:

office a bond register in which the Registrar shall provide for the registration
of ownership of Bonds and the registration of transfers and exchanges of Bonds
entitled to be registered, transferred or exchanged.
(b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond duly endorsed
by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer,
in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner,
thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by the registered owner in writing,

transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal
amount and maturity, as requested by the transferor. The Registrar may, however,

month preceding each interest payment date and until such interest payment date.
(c) Exchange of Bonds. Whenever any Bond is surrendered by the registered
owner for exchange, the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver one or more
new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested byl
the registered owner or the owner's attorney duly authorized in writing.
(d) Cancellation. All Bonds surrendered upon any transfer or exchange shall,
be promptly cancelled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed
by the City.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When any Bond is presented to the
Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the same until it
is satisfied that the endorsement on such Bond or separate instrument of transfer
is legally authorized. The Registrar shall incur no liability for its refusal,
in good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment, deems improper or
unauthorized.
(f) Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the person
in whose name any Bond is at any time registered in the bond register as the
8/18/86
absolute owner.of such Bond,,whether such Bond shall be overdue or not, for the
purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of and interest
on such Bond and for all other purposes, and all such payments so made to any
such registered owner or upon the owner's order shall be valid and effectural
to satisfy and discharge the liability of the City upon such Bond to the extent
of the sum or sums so paid.
(g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. For every transfer or exchange of Bonds, the
Registrar may impose a charge upon the owner thereof sufficient to reimburse
the Registrar for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid
with respect to such transfer or exchange.
(h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. In case any Bond shall become
mutilated or be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Registrar shall deliver a new
Bond of like amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and substitution
for and upon cancellation of any such mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in sub-
stitution for any such Bond lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the payment of the
reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection therewith; and,
in the case of a Bond lost, stolen or destroyed, upon filing with the Registrar
of evidence satisfactory to it that such Bond was lost, stolen or destroyed,
and of the ownership thereof, and upon furnishing to the Registrar of an appro-
priate_ bond or indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it, in
which both the City and the Registrar shall be named as obligees. All Bonds so
surrendered to the Registrar shall be cancelled by it and evidence of such
cancellation shall be given to the City. If the mutilated, lost, stolen or_
destroyed Bond has already matured or.been called for redemption in accordance
with its terms, it shall not be necessary to issue a new Bond prior to payment.
3.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City hereby appoints First Trust
Company, Inc., as the initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Manager are
authorized to execute and deliver, on behalf of the City, a contract with First
Trust Company, Inc., as Registrar. Upon merger or consolidation of the Registrar
with another corporation, if the resulting corporation is a bank or trust company
authorized by law to conduct such business, such corporation shall be authorized
to act as successor Registrar. The City agrees to pay the reasonable and
customary charges of the Registrar for the services performed. The City reserves
the right to remove any Registrar upon thirty (30) days' notice and upon the
appointment of a successor Registrar, in which event the predecessor Registrar
shall deliver all,cash and Bonds in its possession to the successor Registrar
and shall deliver the bond register to the successor Registrar. On or before
each principal or interest due date, without further order of this Council, the
City Manager shall transmit to the Registrar from the Bond Fund described in
Section 4.02 hereof, moneys sufficient for the payment of all principal and
interest then due.
3.05. Redemption. Bonds maturing in the years 1989 through 1995 shall not
be subject to redemption prior to maturity, but Bonds maturing in the years
1996 through 2006 shall each be subject to redemption and prepayment, at the
option of the City, in whole or in part, and.if in part, in inverse order of
maturities and, within any maturity, in $5,000 principal amounts selected by
the Registrar by lot, on February 1, 1996 and on any interest payment date
thereafter at a price equal to the principal amount thereof to be redeemed
plus interest accrued to the date of redemption. At least thirty days prior
to the date set for redemption of any Bond, the City Manager shall cause notice
of the call for redemption to be published in a daily or weekly periodical
published in a Minnesota city of the first class or its metropolitan area,
which circulates throughout the state and furnishes financial news as a part
of its service, and to be mailed to the Registrar and to the registered owner
of each Bond to be redeemed, but no defect in or failure to give such mailed
notice of redemption shall affect the validity of proceedings for the redemption
of any Bond not affected by such defect or failure.
3.06 Preparation and Delivery. The Bonds shall be prepared under the
direction of the City Manager and the City Finance Director - Treasurer and.shall
be executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the Mayor and the City
Manager, and shall be sealed with the official corporate seal of the City;
provided that said signatures and the corporate seal may be printed, engraved,
or lithographed facsimiles thereof. In case any officer whose signature, or
a facsimile of whose signature, shall appear.on the Bonds shall cease to be such
officer before the delivery of any Bond, such signature or facsimile shall
nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such
officer had remained in office until delivery. Notwithstanding such execution,
no Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any
security or benefit under this resolution unless and until a certificate of
authentication on such Bond has been duly executed by the manual signature of
an authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates of authentication
on different Bonds need not be signed by the same representative. The executed
certificate of authentication on each Bond shall be conclusive evidence that it
has been authenticated and delivered under this resolution. When the Bonds
have been so executed and authenticated, they shall be delivered by the City
8/18/86
Manager to the purchaser thereof upon payment of the purchase price in accordance
with the contract of sale heretofore made and executed, and the purchaser shall
not be obligated to see to the application of the purchase price.
Section 4. Security Provisions.
4.01. Construction Fund. A Construction Fund is hereby created, as a special
fund and designated on the books of the City as the "Southeast Edina Redevelop-
ment Area Construction Fund" (the Construction Fund), to be held and admini-
stered by the City Finance Director - Treasurer separate and apart from all other
funds of the City. The City hereby appropriates to the Construction Fund all
of the proceeds received from the sale of the Bonds, less the amount to be
deposited in the Bond Fund, as hereinafter defined, pursuant to Section 4.02
hereof. Moneys on hand in the Construction Fund from time to time shall be
used solely to pay public redevelopment costs in connection with the Project as
set forth in the Plan, as amended. Any amounts remaining in the Construction
Fund upon completion of the Project and payment of all of the costs thereof
shall be transferred to the Bond Fund.
4.02. Bond Fund. The principal and interest on the Bonds shall be payable
from the Bond Fund. So long as any of the 1981 Bonds, the 1985 Bonds, the
Bonds, or any additional bonds issued pursuant to Section 4.04 of the 1981 Bond
Resolution and made payable from the Bond Fund, are outstanding and any principal
thereof or interest thereon unpaid, the City Finance Director - Treasurer shall
maintain the Bond Fund as a separate and special account to be used for the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 1981 Bonds,
the 1985 Bonds, the Bonds and any additional bonds issued pursuant to Section
4.04 of the 1981 Bond Resolution and made payable from the Bond Fund. The
City hereby irrevocably appropriates to the Bond Fund (a) the proceeds of the
Bonds representing capitalized interest, (b) the accrued interest and any
amount in excess of $3,922,000 bid for the Bonds and received from the Purchaser
upon delivery of the Bonds, and (c) any other moneys appropriated or pledged'by
the terms of this Resolution to the Bond Fund.
4.03. Full Faith and Credit Pledged. The full faith and credit and taxing
power of the City are hereby irrevocably pledged for the - prompt and full
payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds and on all other bonds'
made payable from the Bond Fund, as such principal and interest become due. ,
It is estimated that the tax increment revenue and other funds herein pledged
for the payment of the Bonds will be collected in amounts not less than five!
percent in excess of the amounts needed to meet when due the principal of and
interest on the 1981 Bonds, the 1985 Bonds and the Bonds as required by Minne-
sota Statutes, Section 475.61. Consequently, no ad valorem taxes are now
levied to pay the Bonds or the interest to come due thereon, pursuant to
Minnesota.Statutes, Section 273.77(a). If the money on hand in the Bond Fund
should at any time be insufficient to pay principal and interest due on all
bonds payable therefrom, such amounts may be paid from any other fund of the
City and such other fund shall be reimbursed therefor when sufficient moneys'
are available in the Bond Fund. If on October 1 in any year the sum of the
balance in the Bond Fund plus the amount of tax increment revenue collectible
through the end of the following calendar year is not sufficient to pay when,
due all principal and interest to become due on all bonds payable therefrom in
the following calendar year, or the Bond Fund has incurred a deficiency in
the manner provided in this Section 4.03, a direct, irrepealable, ad valorem
tax shall be levied on all taxable property within the corporate limits of the
City for the purpose of restoring such accumulated or anticipated deficiency
in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution.
Section 5. Defeasance. When all of the Bonds have been discharged as
provided in this Section 5, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted
by this Resolution to the holders of the Bonds shall cease. The City may
discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds which are due on any date
by irrevocably depositing with the paying agent on or before that date a sum'
sufficient for the payment thereof in full; or, if any Bond should not be paid
when due, it may nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the paying agent
a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest accrued to
the date of such deposit. The City may also at any time discharge its
obligations with respect to any Bonds, subject to the provisions of law now
or hereafter authorizing and regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably
in escrow, with a bank qualified by law as an escrow agent for this purpose,;
cash or securities which are general obligations of the United States or
securities of United States agencies which are authorized by law to be so
deposited, bearing interest payable at such time and at such rates and maturing
on such dates as shall be required, without reinvestment, to pay all principal
and interest to become due thereon to maturity.
Section 6. Registration, Certification of Proceedings, Investment of
Moneys and Arbitrage. j
6.01. Registration. The City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to file
a certified copy of this resolution with the County Auditor of Hennepin County,
together with such other information as he shall require, and to obtain from!
said County Auditor a certificate that the Bonds have been entered on his bond
8/18/86
register as required by law.
6.02. Certification of Proceedings. The officers of the City and the County
Auditor of Hennepin County are hereby authorized and directed to prepare and
furnish to the Purchaser an 'to Dorsey & Whitney, Bond Counsel, certified.copies
of all proceedings and records of the City, and such other affidavits, certifi-
cates and information as may be required to show the facts relating to the
legality and marketability of the Bonds as the same appear from the books and
records under their custody and control or as otherwise known to them, and all
such certified copies, certificates and affidavits, including any heretofore
furnished, shall be deemed representations of the City as to the facts recited
therein.
6.03. Covenant. The City covenants and agrees with the holders from time to
time of the Bonds that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of its
officers, employees or agents any action which would cause the interest on the
Bonds to become subject to taxation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as
amended (the Code), and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the
Regulations) as existing on the date of issuance of the Bonds, and covenants to
take any and all actions within its powers to ensure that the interest on the
Bonds will not become subject to taxation under the Code and the Regulations as
existing on the date of issuance of the Bonds. In particular, the City covenants
that it shall not take any action or exercise any remedies pursuant to any re-
development agreement or other agreement with respect to any property in the
District, if the effect thereof would be, in the opinion of the City's bond
counsel, to cause the Bonds to be considered "industrial development bonds" or
"consumer loan bonds" pursuant to the Code.
6.04. Arbitrage.. The Mayor and City Manager, being the officers of the City
charged with the responsibility for issuing the Bonds pursuant to this resolution,
are authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Purchaser a certificate
in accordance with the provisions of Section 103(c) of the Code, and Treasury
Regulations, Sections 1.103 -13, 1.103 -14 and 1.103 -15, stating the facts, estimates
and circumstances in existence on the date of issue and delivery of the Bonds
which make it reasonable to expect that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be
used in a manner that would cause the Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the
meaning of the Code and Regulations. .
Section 7. Pending Federal Tax Legislation.
7.01. Tax Reform Bill. This Council understands that on December 17, 1985,
the United States House of Representatives passed H.R. 3838 (the Tax Reform Bill),
which, among other things, includes substantial additional requirements which
must be satisfied by the issuers of municipal obligations (including obligations
of the character of the Bonds) in order that the interest on such obligations be
and remain exempt from federal income taxation. In their current form, the pro-
visions of the Tax Reform Bill apply to municipal obligations issued after
December 31, 1985.. On March 14, 1986, the Chairmen and Ranking Members of the
U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Ways and Means and the U.S. Senate
Committee on Finance and the Secretary of Treasury issued a Joint Statement on
the Effective Dates of Pending Tax Reform Legislation (the Joint Statement). The
Joint Statement endorses postponement (until September 1, 1986, or the date of
enactment of tax reform legislation, whichever is earlier) of the effective date
of certain provisions and restrictions of the Tax Reform Bill applicable to
certain municipal obligations, including the Bonds. Such provisions and restrict-
ions of the Tax Reform Bill include the definition of "nonessential function"
bonds, new arbitrage restrictions, restrictions on the early issuance of bonds
and information reporting "requirements. The Joint Statement is a statement of
intent only and is not binding on Congress. The municipal bond market, however,
appears to have accepted an issue of municipal obligations where the issuer
has not covenanted to comply with those provisions of the Tax Reform Bill covered
by the Joint Statement. To enhance the marketability of the Bonds, this Council
has determined it to be necessary and desirable and in the best interests of the
City to structure the Bonds and the application of the proceeds thereof in a
manner so as to comply with the requirements of the Tax Reform Bill interpreted
in accordance with the Joint Statement and, to use the best efforts of the.City
to comply, if possible, with the requirements of the Tax Reform Bill as finally
enacted, assuming that, as finally enacted, it would apply to the Bonds.
7.02. Covenants; Reliance on Joint Statement. The City covenants and agrees
with the owners from time to time of the Bonds that it will take, and will cause
its officers, employees or agents to take, all actions necessary to comply with
the Tax Reform Bill, and that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of
its officers, employees or agents any actions that would cause interest on the
Bonds to become subject to federal income taxation under the Tax Reform Bill,
until the Tax Reform Bill is enacted or the 99th Congress adjourns sine die
without enactment of the Tax Reform Bill. In addition, the City covenants and
agrees with the owners from time to time of the Bonds that if the Tax Reform
Bill is enacted and its provisions are applicable to the Bonds, that the City,
to the extent it is authorized by law, will use its best efforts to take, and to
cause its officers, employees and agents to take, all actions necessary to comply
8/18/86
with the Tax Reform Bill as enacted, and that it will not take or permit to be
taken by any of its officers, employees or agents any action which would cause
interest on the Bonds to become subject to federal income taxation under the
provisions of the Tax Reform Bill as enacted. In reliance on the Joint State-
ment, however, the covenants of the City contained in this Section 7.02 to
comply with the Tax Reform Bill as passed by the U.S. House of Representatives
or as finally enacted do not include compliance with those provisions of the
Tax Reform Bill the effective dates of which are postponed by the Joint State-
ment. The City covenants that if, notwithstanding the Joint Statement, such
provisions are applicable to the Bonds, the City will use its best efforts to
comply, to the extent then possible, with such provisions, but no assurance ;
can be given that such compliance would then be possible.
7.03. Proposed Interest Disallowance. The City hereby designates the Bonds
as "qualified tax - exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 802(e) of the
Tax Reform Bill relating to the disallowance of interest expenses for financial
institutions.
7.04. Amendment of Resolution. The City reserves the right to amend or
modify the provisions of Section 7.02, if and to the extent that the City receives
an opinion of-nationally recognized bond counsel that such amendment or modifi-
cation will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of
the interest on the Bonds under then existing laws or regulations or the Tax
Reform Bill.

the expense incurred and estimated to be incurred by the City in making the j
Improvements, including every item of cost of the kinds authorized in Minnesota

Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota to be done, to exist, to happen
and to be performed prior to the issuance of the Bonds have been done, do
exist, have happened, and have been performed, wherefore it.is now necessary
for this Council to establish the form and terms of the Bonds, to provide for,
the security thereof, and to issue the Bonds forthwith.
1.04. Maturities. This Council finds and determines that the maturities
of the Bonds, as set forth in Section 3.01 hereof, are warranted by the
anticipated collection of the assessments to be levied for the cost of the
Improvements.

signature, shall appear on the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the
delivery of any Bond, such signature or facsimile shall nevertheless be valid
and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such officer had remained in
office until delivery. Notwithstanding such execution, no Bond shall be valid
or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under this
resolution unless and until a certificate of authentication on such Bond has
been duly executed by the manual signature of an authorized representative of
the Registrar. Certificates of authentication on different Bonds need not be
signed by the same.representative. The executed certificate of authentication

delivered under this resolution. When the Bonds have been so executed and
authenticated, they shall be delivered by the City Manager to the purchaser
thereof upon payment of the purchase price in accordance with the contract of
sale heretofore made and executed, and the purchaser shall not be obligated to
see to the application of the purchase price.
Section 4.. Security Provisions.
4.01. 1986 Improvement Construction Fund. There is hereby.created a special
bookkeeping fund to be designated as the "1986 Improvement Construction Fund"

the City. The City appropriates to the Construction Fund (a) the proceeds of the
sale of the Bonds, and (b) all collections of special assessments levied for the
Improvements until completion and payment of all costs of the Improvements. The
Construction Fund shall be used solely to defray expenses of the Improvements,
including but not limited to the transfer to the Bond Fund, created in Section 4.02
hereof, of amounts sufficient for the payment of interest and principal, if any,
due upon the Bonds prior to the completion and payment of all costs of the Improve-
ments and the payment of the expenses incurred by the City in connection with the
issuance of the Bonds. Upon completion and payment of all costs of the Improve-
ments, any balance of the proceeds of Bonds remaining in the Construction Fund
may be used to pay the cost, in whole or in part, or any other improvements
instituted pursuant to the Act, as directed by the City Council, but any balance
of such proceeds not so used shall be credited and paid to the Bond Fund.
4.02. 1986 Improvement Bond Fund. So long as any of the Bonds are outstanding
and any principal-of or interest thereon unpaid, the City Finance Director -
Treasurer shall maintain a separate and special bookkeeping fund designated
"1986 Improvement Bond Fund" (hereinafter referred to as the Bond Fund) to be
used for no purpose other than the payment of the principal of and interest on
the Bonds and on such other improvement bonds of the City as have been or may be
directed to be paid therefrom. The City irrevocably appropriates to the Bond
Fund (a) the collections of special assessments and other funds to be credited
and paid thereto in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01, (b) any taxes
levied in accordance with this resolution, and (c) all such other moneys as shall
be received and appropriated to the Bond Fund from time to time. If the balance
in the Bond Fund is at any time insufficient to pay all interest and principal
then due on all bonds payable therefrom, the payment shall be made from any fund
of the City which is available for that purpose, subject to reimbursement from
the Bond Fund when the balance therein is sufficient, and the Council covenants
and agrees that it will each year levy a sufficient amount to take care of any
accumulated or anticipated deficiency, which levy is not subject to any consti-
tutional or statutory tax limitation.
4.03. Additional Bonds. The City reserves the right to issue additional bonds
payable from the Bond Fund as may be required to finance costs of the Improvements
not financed hereby; provided that the City Council shall, prior to the delivery
of such additional bonds, levy or agree to levy by resolution sufficient additional
special assessments and ad valorem taxes, if any, which, together with other moneys
or revenues pledged for the payment of said additional obligations, will produce
revenues at least five percent (5%) in excess of the amount needed to pay when
due the principal and interest on all .bonds payable from the Bond Fund. The
additional special assessments, ad valorem taxes and moneys.or revenues so pledged,
levied or agreed to be levied shall be irrevocably appropriated to the Bond Fund
in the manner provided by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61.
4.04. Levy of Special Assessments. The City hereby covenants and agrees that
for payment of the cost of each of the Improvements it will do and perform all
acts and things necessary for the full and valid levy of special assessments
against all assessable lots, tracts and parcels of land benefited thereby and
located within the area proposed to be assessed therefor, based upon the benefits
received by each such lot, tract or parcel, in an aggregate principal amount not
less than one hundred percent (100 %) of the cost of such Improvement. In the
event that any such assessment shall be at any time held invalid with respect to
any lot, piece or parcel of land, due to any error, defect or irregularity in any
action or proceeding taken or to be taken by the City or this Council or any of
the City's officers or employees, either in the making of such assessment or in
the uerformance of any condition precedent thereto, the City and this Council
8/18/86
hereby covenant and agree that they will forthwith do all such further acts and
take all such further proceedings as may be required by law to make such
assessments.a valid and binding lien upon such property.
4.05. Full Faith and Credit Pledged. The full faith and credit of the City
are irrevocably pledged for the prompt and full payment of the principal of
and the interest on the Bonds, and the Bonds shall be payable from the Bond
Fund in accordance with the provisions and covenants contained in this reso-
lution. The interest on the Bonds to be paid on February 1, 1987 will be
paid out of the proceeds of the Bonds and other moneys of the City available
for such purpose. It is estimated that the special assessments levied and to
be levied for the payment of the Improvements will be collected in amounts not
less than five percent (5%) in excess of the annual principal and interest
requirements of the Bonds. If the money on hand in the Bond Fund should at
any time be insufficient for the payment of principal and interest.then due,
this City shall pay the principal and interest out of any fund of the City,
and such.other fund or funds shall be reimbursed therefor when sufficient
money is available to the Bond Fund. If on October 1 in any year the sum of
the balance in the Bond Fund plus the amount of special assessments thereto-
fore levied for the Improvements and collectible through the end of the following
calendar year is not sufficient to pay when due all principal and interest
become due on all Bonds payable therefrom in said following calendar year, or
the Bond Fund has incurred a deficiency in the manner provided in this
Section 4.05, a direct, irrepealable, ad valorem tax shall be levied on all
taxable property within the corporate limits of the City for the purpose of
restoring such accumulated or anticipated deficiency in accordance with the
provisions of this resolution.
Section 5. Defeasance. When all of the Bonds and all coupons appertaining
thereto have been discharged as provided in this section, all pledges, covenants
and other rights granted by this resolution to the holders of the Bonds shall
cease. The City may discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds and
coupons appertaining thereto which are due on any date by depositing with the
paying agent on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof
in full; or; if any Bond or coupon.should not be paid when due, it may never-
theless be discharged by depositing with the paying agent a sum sufficient for
the payment thereof in full with interest accrued to the date of such deposit.
The City may also at any time discharge its obligations with respect to any
Bonds, subject to the provisions of law now or hereafter authorizing and
regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably in escrow, with a bank
qualified by law as an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or securities which
are general obligations of the United States or securities of United States
agencies which are authorized by law to be so deposited, bearing interest
payable at such time and at such rates and maturing on such dates as shall be
required, without reinvestment, to pay all principal and interest to become
due thereon to maturity.
Section 6. Registration, Certification of Proceedings, Investment of
Moneys and Arbitrage.
6.01. Registration. The City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to file
a certified copy of this resolution with the County Auditor of Hennepin County,
together with such other information as he shall require, and to obtain from
the County Auditor a certificate that the Bonds have been entered on his bond
register and that the tax required for the payment thereof has been levied
and filed as required by law.
6.02. Certification of Proceedings. The officers of the City and the County
Auditor of Hennepin County are hereby authorized and directed to prepare and
furnish to the Purchaser, and to Dorsey & Whitney, Bond Counsel, certified
copies of all proceedings and records of the City, and such other affidavits,
certificates and information as may be required to show the facts relating to
the legality and marketability of the Bonds as the same appear from the books
and records under their custody and control or as otherwise known to them,
and all such certified copies, certificates and affidavits, including any
heretofore furnished, shall be deemed representations of the City as to the
facts recited therein.
6.03. Covenant. The City covenants and agrees with the holders from time
to time of the Bonds that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of its
officers, employees or agents, any action which would cause the interest on the
Bonds to become subject to taxation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954,
as amended (the Code), and Regulations promulgated thereunder (the Regulations)
as existing on the date of issuance of the Bonds, and covenants to take any and
all actions within its powers to ensure that the interest on the Bonds will not
become subject to taxation under the Code and Regulations as existing on the
date of issuance of the Bonds.
6.04. Investment of Moneys on Deposit in Bond Fund. Unless and until -the
regulations.under Sectin 103(c)'of the Code which have been promulgated by the
InternalRevenue Service prior to the date hereof have been modified or amended in
pertinent part, the City Manager shall ascertain monthly the amount on deposit
8/18/86
in the Bond Fund. If the amount on deposit therein ever exceeds by more than
$375,000 the aggregate amount of principal and interest due and payable from the
Bond Fund within 12 months thereafter plus a reasonable carryover amount not
exceeding the greater of one year's earnings on the Bond Fund or one - twelfth
of the annual debt service payable therefrom, such excess shall not be-invested
except at a yield less than or equal to the yield on the Bonds, based upon their
amount, maturities and interest rates on their date of issue, computed by the
actuarial method. If any additional improvement bonds are ever issued and made
payable from the Bond Fund pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof, the dollar amount in
the preceding sentence shall be changed to equal fifteen percent (15 %) of the
aggregate original principal amount of all bonds, including the Bonds, which
are then outstanding and payable therefrom. The City reserves the right to amend
the provisions of this Section 6.04 at any time, whether prior to or after the
delivery of the Bonds, if and to the extent that this Council'determines that the
provisions of this Section 6.04 are not necessary in order to assure that the
Bonds are not arbitrage bounds under Section 103(c) of the Code and the applicable
Regulations.
6.05. Arbitrage. The Mayor and City Manager, being the officers of the City
charged with the responsibility for issuing the Bonds pursuant to this resolution,
are authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Purchaser a certificate
in accordance with the provisions of Section 103(c) of the Code, and Treasury
Regulations, Section 1.103 -13, 1.103 -14 and 1.103 -15, stating the facts, estimates
and circumstances in existence on the date of issue and delivery of the Bonds
which indicate that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that
would cause the Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of said Code and
Regulations.
Section 7. Pending Federal Tax Legislation.
7.01. Tax Reform Bill. This Council understands that on December 17, 1985,
the United States House of Representatives passed H.R. 3838 (the Tax Reform Bill),
which, among other things, includes substantial additional requirements which
must be satisfied by the issuers of municipal obligations (including obligations
of the character of the Bonds) in order that the interest on such obligations be
and remain exempt from federal income taxation. In their current form, the pro-
visions of the Tax Reform Bill apply to municipal obligations issued after
December 31, 1985. On March 14, 1986, the Chairmen and Ranking Members of the .
U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Ways and Means and the U.S. Senate
Committee on Finance and the Secretary of Treasury issued a Joint Statement on
the Effective Dates of Pending Tax Reform Legislation (the Joint Statement). The
Joint Statement endorses postponement (until September 1, 1986, or the date of
enactment of tax reform legislation, whichever is earlier) of the effective date
of certain provisions and restrictions of the Tax Reform Bill applicable to
certain municipal obligations, including the Bonds. Such provisions and restrict-
ions of the Tax Reform Bill include the definition of "nonessential function"
bonds, new arbitrage restrictions, restrictions on the early issuance of bonds
and information reporting requirements. The Joint Statement is a statement of
intent only and is not binding on Congress. The municipal bond market, however,
appears to have accepted an issue of municipal obligations where the issuer
has not covenanted to comply with those provisions of the Tax Reform Bill covered
by the Joint Statement. To enhance the marketability of the Bonds, this Council
has determined it to be necessary and desirable and in the best interests of the
City to structure the Bonds and the application of the proceeds thereof in a
manner so as to comply with the requirements of the Tax Reform Bill interpreted
in accordance with the Joint Statement and, to use the best efforts of the City
to comply, if possible, with the requirements of the Tax Reform Bill as finally
enacted, assuming that, as finally enacted, it would apply to the Bonds.
7.02. Covenants; Reliance on Joint Statement. The City covenants and agrees
with the owners from time to time of the Bonds that it will take, and will cause
its officers, employees or agents to take, all actions necessary to comply with
the Tax Reform Bill, and that it will not take or.permit to be taken by any of
its officers, employees or agents any actions that would cause interest on the
Bonds to become subject to federal income taxation under the Tax Reform Bill,
until the Tax Reform Bill is enacted or the 99th Congress adjourns sine die
without enactment of the Tax Reform Bill. In addition, the City covenants and
agrees with the owners from time to time of the Bonds that if the Tax Reform
Bill is enacted and its provisions are applicable to the Bonds, that the City,
to the extent it is authorized by law, will use its best efforts to take, and to
cause its officers, employees and agents to take, all actions necessary to comply
with the Tax Reform Bill as enacted, and that it will not take or permit to be
taken by any of its officers, employees or agents any action which would cause
interest on the Bonds to become subject to federal income taxation under the
provisions of the Tax Reform Bill as enacted. In reliance on the Joint State-
ment, however, the covenants of the City contained in this Section 7.02 to
comply with the Tax Reform Bill as passed by the U.S. House of Representatives
or as finally enacted do not include compliance with those provisions of the
8/18/86
Tax Reform Bill the effective dates of which are postponed by the Joint State-
ment. The City covenants that if, notwithstanding the Joint Statement, such
provisions are applicable to the Bonds, the City will use its best efforts to
comply, to the extent then possible, with such provisions, but no assurance
can be given that such compliance would then be possible.
7.03. Proposed Interest Disallowance. The City hereby designates the Bonds
as "qualified tax - exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 802(e) of the
Tax Reform Bill relating to the disallowance of interest expenses for financial
institutions.
7.04. Amendment of Resolution. The City reserves the right to amend or
modify the provisions of Section 7.02, if and to the extent that the City receives
an opinion.of nationally recognized bond counsel that such amendment or modifi-
cation will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of
the interest on'the Bonds under then existing laws or regulations or the Tax
Reform Bill.

RESOLUTION RELATING TO $2,000,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION TAX
INCREMENT BONDS, SERIES 1986B; FIXING THE FORM AND DETAILS,
PROVIDING FOR THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY THEREOF AND THE
SECURITY THEREFOR
BE IT.RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota (the City),
as follows:
Section 1. Authorization and Sale.
1.01. Authorization. Pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota Statutes,
Sections 273.77(a) and 462.581 and Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 475, the City
Council of the City has authorized the issuance and sale of its General Obli-
gation Tax Increment Bonds, Series 1986B (the Bonds) in the principal amount of
$2,000,000 for the purpose of providing funds for the payment of the public
redevelopment costs needed for a redevelopment project (the Project), to be
undertaken in accordance with the Grandview Area Redevelopment Plan (the Rede-
velopment Plan), previously established by the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority in and for the City of Edina (the Authority) and approved by the City.
$39,000 of the principal amount of the Bonds represents interest as provided
in Minnesota Statutes,.Section 475.56..
1.02. Project Costs. The cost of the Project is estimated to be $2,000,000.
1.03. Expenditure of Tax Increment Revenue. The Project constitutes a
"project" and -the District constitutes a "tax increment financing district"
within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Sections 273.71 to 273.78, and thus
the City has authority under said Sections 273.71 to 273.78 to expend ad
valorem tax increments derived from the District to pay costs incurred or to
be incurred by the City and the Authority in aid of the Redevelopment Project,
or to pay the principal of and interest on bonds issued to finance such costs,
in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan.
1.04. Computation of Tax Increment. The County Auditor of Hennepin County
has certified to the Authority the Assessed Value of all taxable property in
the District (the "Original Assessed Value "), and is to certify to the Authority
in each year the then current Assessed Value of all taxable property in the
District (the "Current Assessed Value "). The Current Assessed Value, less the
Original Assessed Value is the Captured Assessed Value. The ad valorem taxes
derived from the property in the District in each year, by application of the
aggregate mill rate levied by all governmental entities having authority to
levy taxes on such property to the Captured Assessed Value, is the Tax Increment
to be derived from the District (the "Tax Increment ").
1.04. Sale. This Council, by resolution adopted on August 18, 1986 accepted
the bid of First National Bank of Minneapolis, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and
associates (the Purchaser) , to purchase the Bonds at a price of $1,961,965.70
plus accrued interest from the date of the Bonds to the date of delivery thereof,
the Bonds to bear interest from August 1, 1986 until paid at the rates specified
by the Purchaser and upon the further terms and conditions set forth in the Terms
and Conditions of Sale.
1.05. Issuance of Bonds. All acts, conditions and things which are required
by the Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota to be done, to exist, to
happen and to be performed prior to the issuance of the Bonds having been done,
8/181,86
existing, and having happened, it is now necessary for this Council to establish
the form and terms of the Bonds, to provide for the security thereof, and to
issue the Bonds forthwith. ; ^..

This Bond is one of an issue in the aggregate
principal amount of $2,000,000 (the Bonds), all of like date
and tenor except as to serial number, interest rate, redemption
privilege and maturity date, issued pursuant to a resolution
adopted on August 18, 1986 (the Resolution) for the purpose of
providing moneys in aid of a redevelopment project to be
undertaken in accordance with the Grandview Area Redevelopment
Plan, in anticipation of the collection of tax increment
resulting from the redevelopment of the Project Area, as
certified annually by the County Auditor of Hennepin County,
pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.76; and is issued
pursuant to and in full conformity with the provisions of the
Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota thereunto
8/18/86
enabling, including Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.581,
Section 273.77(a) and Chapter 475. This Bond is payable
primarily from a portion of the moneys in the "1986B General
Obligation Tax Increment Bond Fund" (the Bond Fund) of the
City, but the City is required by law to pay maturing principal
hereof and interest hereon from any available funds of the City
if moneys on hand in the Bond Fund pledged to the payment of
the Bonds are insufficient therefor. The Bonds are issuable
only as fully registered bonds, in denominations of $5,000 or
any multiple thereof, of single maturities.
Bonds maturing in the years 1989 through 1995 are
payable on their respective stated maturity dates without
option of prior payment, but Bonds having stated maturity dates
in the years 1996 through 2003 are each subject to redemption
and prepayment, at the option of the City and in whole or in
part, and if in part in inverse order of maturities and by lot,
assigned in proportion to their principal amount, within any
maturity, on February 1, 1996 and on any interest payment date
thereafter, at a price equal to the principal amount thereof to
be redeemed plus interest accrued to the date of redemption.
At least thirty days prior to the date set for redemption of
any Bond, notice of the call for redemption will be published
in a daily or weekly periodical, published in a Minnesota city
of the first class or its metropolitan area, which circulates
throughout the state and furnishes financial news as a part of
its service, and.will be mailed to the Bond Registrar and to
the registered owner of each Bond to be redeemed at his address
appearing in the Bond Register, but no defect in or failure to
give such mailed notice of redemption shall affect the validity
of proceedings for the redemption of any Bond. Upon partial
redemption of any Bond, a new Bond or Bonds will be delivered
to the registered owner without charge, representing the
remaining principal amount outstanding.
As provided in the Resolution and subject to certain
limitations set forth therein, this Bond is transferable upon
the books of the City at the principal office of the Bond
Registrar, by the registered owner hereof in person or by his
attorney duly authorized in writing upon surrender hereof
together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to
the Bond Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner or
his attorney; and may also be surrendered in exchange for Bonds
.of other authorized denominations. Upon such transfer or
exchange, the City will cause a new Bond or Bonds to be issued
in the name of the transferee or registered owner, of the same
aggregate principal amount, bearing interest at the same rate
and maturing on the same date, subject to reimbursement for any
tax, fee or governmental charge required to be paid with
respect to such transfer or exchange.
The City and the Bond Registrar may deem and treat the
person in whose name this Bond is registered as the absolute
owner hereof, whether this Bond is overdue or not, for the
purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes, and
neither the City nor the Bond Registrar shall be affected by
any notice to the contrary.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, RECITED, COVENANTED AND AGREED
that all acts, conditions and things required by the
Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota to be done, to
exist, to happen and to be performed precedent to and in the
issuance of this Bond in order to make it a valid and binding
general obligation of the City according to its terms have been
done, do exist, have happened and have been performed in
regular and due form, time and manner; that all taxable
property within the City is subject to the levy of a direct,
annual, ad valorem tax, which the City covenants it will levy
and which is required to be extended, assessed and collected
for the years and in such amounts as may be required to pay the
principal of and interest on the Bonds of this issue when due,
which levy is not limited as to rate or amount; and that the
issuance of this Bond did not cause the indebtedness of the
City to exceed any constitutional or statutory limitation.

3.02. Dates; Interest Payment Dates. Each Bond shall be dated as of the last
interest payment date preceding the date of authentication to which interest on
the Bond has been paid or made available for payment, unless (i) the date of
authentication is an interest payment date to which interest has been paid or
made available for payment, in which case such Bond shall be dated as.of the
date of authentication, or (ii) the date of authentication is prior to February 1,
1987 in which case such Bond shall be dated as of August 1, 1986. The interest
on the Bonds shall be payable on February 1 and August 1 in each year, commencing
February 1, 1987, to the owner of the record thereof as of the close of business
on the fifteenth day of the immediately preceding month, whether or not such day
is a.business day.
3.03. Registration. The City shall appoint, and shall maintain, a bond
registrar, transfer agent and paying agent (the Registrar). The effect of
registration and the rights and duties of the City and the Registrar with respect
thereto shall be as follows:
(a) Register. The Registrar shall keep at its principal corporate trust
office a bond register in which the Registrar shall provide for the registration
of ownership of Bonds and the registration of transfers and exchanges of Bonds
entitled to be registered, transferred or exchanged.
(b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond duly endorsed
by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer,
in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner
thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by the registered owner in writing,
the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal
amount and maturity, as requested by the transferor. The Registrar may, however,
close the books for registration of any transfer after the fifteenth day of the
month preceding each interest payment date and until such interest payment date.
8/18/86
(c) Exchange of Bonds. Whenever any Bond is surrendered by the registered
owner for exchange, the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver one or more
new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested by
the registered owner or the owner's attorney duly authorized in writing.
(d) Cancellation. All Bonds surrendered upon any transfer or exchange shall
be promptly cancelled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed
by the City.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When any Bond is presented to the
Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the same until it
is satisfied that the endorsement on such Bond or separate instrument of transfer
is legally authorized. The Registrar shall incur no liability for its refusal,
in good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment, deems improper or
unauthorized.
(f) Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the person
in whose name any Bond is at any time registered in the bond register as the
absolute owner of such Bond, whether such Bond shall be overdue or not, for the
purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of and interest
on such Bond and for all other purposes, and all such payments so made to any
such registered owner or upon the owner's order shall be valid and effectural
to satisfy and discharge the liability of the City upon such Bond to the extent
of the sum or sums so paid.
(g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. For every transfer or exchange of Bonds, the
Registrar may impose a charge upon the owner thereof sufficient to reimburse
the Registrar for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid
with respect to such transfer or exchange.
(h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. In case any Bond shall become
mutilated or be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Registrar shall deliver a new
Bond of like amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and substitution
for and upon cancellation of any such mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in sub-
stitution for any such Bond lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the payment of the
reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection therewith; and,
in the case of a Bond lost, stolen or destroyed, upon filing with the Registrar
of evidence satisfactory to it that such Bond was lost, stolen or destroyed,
and of the ownership thereof, and.upon furnishing.to the Registrar of an appro-
priate bond or indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it, in
which both the City and the Registrar shall be named as obligees. All Bonds so
surrendered to the Registrar shall be cancelled by it and evidence of such
cancellation shall be given to the City. If the mutilated, lost, stolen or_
destroyed Bond has already matured or. been called for redemption in accordance
with its terms, it shall not be necessary to issue a new Bond prior to payment.
3.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City hereby appoints First Trust
Company, Inc., as the initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Manager are
authorized to execute and deliver, on behalf of the City, a contract with First
Trust Company, Inc., as Registrar.. Upon merger or consolidation of the Registrar
with another corporation, if the resulting corporation is a bank or trust company
authorized by law to conduct such business, such corporation shall be authorized
to act as successor Registrar. The City agrees to pay the reasonable and
customary charges of the Registrar for the services performed. The City reserves
the right to remove any Registrar upon thirty (30) days' notice and upon the
appointment of a successor Registrar, in which event the predecessor Registrar
shall deliver all cash and Bonds in its possession to the successor Registrar
and shall deliver the bond register to the successor Registrar. On or before
each principal or interest due date_,.without further order of this Council, the
City Manager shall transmit to the Registrar from the Bond Fund described in
Section 4.02 hereof, moneys sufficient for the payment of all principal and
interest then due.
3.05. Redemption. Bonds maturing in the years 1989 through 1995 shall not
be subject to redemption prior to maturity, but Bonds maturing in the years
1996 through 2003 shall each be subject to redemption and prepayment, at the
option of the City, in whole or in part, and if in part, in inverse order of
maturities and, within any maturity, in $5,000 principal amounts selected by
the Registrar by lot, on February 1, 1996 and on any interest payment date
thereafter at a price equal to the principal amount thereof to be redeemed
plus interest accrued to.the date of redemption. At least thirty days prior
to the date set for redemption of any Bond, the City Manager shall cause notice
of the call for redemption to be published in a daily or weekly periodical
published in a Minnesota city of the first class or its metropolitan area,
which circulates throughout the state and furnishes financial news as a part
of its service, and to be mailed to the Registrar and to the registered owner
of each Bond to be redeemed, but no defect in or failure to give such mailed
notice of redemption shall affect the validity of proceedings for the redemption
of any Bond not affected by such defect or failure.
3.06. Preparation and Delivery. The Bonds shall be prepared under the
direction of the City Manager and the City Finance Director- Treasurer and shall
be executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the Mayor and the City
Manager, and shall be sealed with the official corporate seal of the City;
8/18/86
provided that said signatures and the corporate seal may be printed, engraved,
or lithographed facsimiles thereof. In case any officer whose signature, or
a facsimile of whose signature, shall appear on the Bonds shall cease to be such
officer before the delivery of any Bond, such signature or facsimile shall
nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such
officer had remained in office until delivery. Notwithstanding such execution,
no Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any
security or benefit under this resolution unless and until a certificate of
authentication on such Bond has been duly executed by the manual signature of
an authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates of authentication
on different Bonds need not be signed by the same representative. The executed
certificate of authentication on each Bond shall be conclusive evidence that it
has been authenticated and delivered under this resolution. When the Bonds
have been so executed and authenticated, they shall be delivered by the City
Manager to the purchaser thereof upon payment of the purchase price in accordance
with the contract of sale heretofore made and executed, and the purchaser shall
not be obligated to see to the application of the purchase price.
Section 4. Security Provisions.
4.01. Construction Fund. A Construction Fund is hereby created, as a special
fund and designated on the books of the City as the "Grandview Area Redevelopment
Construction Fund" (the Construction Fund), to be held and administered by the
City Finance Director Treasurer separate and apart from all other funds of the
City. The City hereby appropriates to the Construction Fund all of the proceeds
received from the sale of the Bonds, less the amount to be deposited in the Bond
Fund, as hereinafter defined, pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof. Moneys on hand
in the Construction Fund from time to time shall be used solely to pay public
redevelopment costs in connection with the Project as set forth in the Plan, as
amended. Any amounts remaining in the Construction Fund upon completion of the
Project and payment of all of the costs thereof shall be transferred to the Bond
Fund.
4.02. Bond Fund. The principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be payable
from the 1986B General Obligation Tax Increment Bond Fund (the "Bond Fund "). So
long as any of the Bonds or any additional bonds issued pursuant to Section 4.04
hereof and made payable from the Bond Fund, are outstanding and any principal
thereof or interest thereon unpaid, the City Finance Director - Treasurer shall
maintain the Bond Fund, as a separate and special account to be used for the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and on
all other general obligation bonds now or hereafter issued by the City pursuant
to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 273, to finance costs incurred by the City or the
HRA in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan in aid of the Redevelopment Project
and any other redevelopment project to be undertaken in accordance with the
Redevelopment Plan. The City hereby irrevocably appropriates to the Bond Fund
(a) the proceeds of the Bonds representing capitalized interest, (b) the accrued
interest on the Bonds and any amount in excess of $1,961,000 bid for the Bonds
and received from the Purchaser upon delivery of the Bonds, (c) the Tax Increments
from the District appropriated and pledged by the Authority to the City to pay
the principal of and interest on the Bonds and any additional bonds payable from
the Bond Fund, and (d) any other moneys appropriated or pledged by the terms of
this Resolution to the Bond Fund. The City expressly reserves the right to use
amounts in the Bond Fund (other than the amounts initially deposited therein upon
the issuance of the Bonds) to finance or pay directly costs paid or incurred by
the Authority or the City pursuant to the Redevelopment Plan in and of the
Redevelopment Project and any other redevelopment project to be undertaken in
accordance with the Redevelopment Plan.
4.03. Full Faith and Credit Pledged. The full faith and credit and taxing
power of the City are hereby irrevocably pledged for the prompt and full payment
of the principal of and interest on the Bonds and on all other bonds made payable
from the Bond Fund, as such principal and interest become due. It is estimated
that the Tax Increments and other funds herein pledged for the payment of the Bonds
will be collected in amounts not less than five percent in excess of the amounts
needed to meet when due the principal of and interest on the Bonds as required
by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61. Consequently, no ad valorem taxes are
now levied to pay the Bonds or the interest to come due thereon, pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.77(a). If the money on hand in the Bond Fund
should at any time be insufficient to pay principal and interest due on all bonds
payable therefrom, such amounts may be paid from any other fund of the City and
such other.fund shall be reimbursed therefor when sufficient moneys are available
in the Bond Fund. If on October 1 in any year the sum of the balance in the Bond
Fund plus the amount of tax increment revenue collectible through the end of the
following calendar year is not sufficient to pay when due all principal and
interest to become due on all bonds payable therefrom in the following calendar
year, or the Bond Fund has incurred a deficiency in the manner provided in this
Section 4.03, a direct, irrepealable, ad valorem tax shall be levied on all
taxable property within the corporate limits of the City for the purpose of
restoring such accmumlated or anticipated deficiency in accordance with the
provisions of this Resolution.
8/18/86
4.04. Additional Bonds The City reserves the right to issue additional
bonds payable from the Bond Fund as may be required to finance costs of the
Redevelopment Project not financed hereby or to finance costs of other projects
to be undertaken by the Authority within the District.
4.05. Execution of Documents. The Mayor and City Manager are hereby authorized
to execute and deliver on behalf of the City such documents as may be appropriate
to evidence the pledge and appropriation of the Tax Increments by the Authority
to the City to pay the Bonds.
Section 5. Defeasance. When all of the Bonds have been discharged as
provided in this Section 5, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted
by this Resolution to the holders of the Bonds shall cease. The City may
discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds which are due on any date
by irrevocably depositing with the paying agent on or before that date a sum
sufficient for the payment thereof in full; or, if any Bond should not be paid
when due, it may nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the paying agent
a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest accrued to
the date of such deposit. The City may also at any time discharge its
obligations with respect to any Bonds, subject to the provisions of law now
or hereafter authorizing and regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably
in escrow, with a bank qualified by law as an escrow agent for this purpose,
cash or securities which are general obligations of the United States or
securities of United States agencies which are authorized by law to be so
deposited, bearing interest payable at such time and at such rates and maturing
on such dates as shall be required, without reinvestment, to pay all principal
and interest to become due thereon to maturity.
Section 6. Registration, Certification of Proceedings, Investment of
Moneys and Arbitrage.
6.01. Registration. The City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to file
a certified copy of this resolution with the County Auditor of Hennepin County,
together with such other information as he shall require, and to obtain from
said County Auditor a certificate that the Bonds have been entered on his bond
register as required by law.
6.02. Certification of Proceedings. The officers of the City and the County
Auditor of Hennepin County are hereby authorized and directed to prepare and
furnish to the Purchaser and to Dorsey & Whitney, Bond Counsel, certified copies
of all proceedings and records of the City, and such other affidavits, certifi-
cates and information as may be required to show the facts relating to the
legality and marketability of the Bonds as the same appear from the books and
records under their custody and control or as otherwise known to them, and all
such certified copies, certificates and affidavits, including any heretofore
furnished, shall be deemed representations of the City as to the facts recited
therein.
6.03. Covenant. The City covenants and agrees with the holders from time to
time of the Bonds that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of its
officers, employees or agents any action which would cause the interest on the
Bonds to become subject to taxation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as
amended (the Code), and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the
Regulations) as existing on the date of issuance of the Bonds, and covenants to
take any and all actions within its powers to ensure that the interest on the
Bonds will not become subject to taxation under the Code and the Regulations as
existing on the date of issuance of the Bonds. In particular, the City covenants
that it shall not take any action or exercise any remedies pursuant to any re-
development agreement or other agreement with respect to any property in the
District, if the effect thereof would be, in the opinion of the City's bond
counsel, to cause the Bonds to be considered "industrial development bonds" or
"consumer loan bonds" pursuant to the Code.
6.04. Arbitrage. The Mayor and City Manager, being the officers of the City
charged with the responsibility for issuing the Bonds pursuant to this resolution,
are authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Purchaser a certificate
in accordance with the provisions of Section 103(c) of the Code, and Treasury
Regulations, Sections 1.103 -13, 1.103 -14 and.1.103 -15, stating the facts, estimates
and circumstances in existence on the date of issue and delivery of the Bonds
which make it reasonable to expect that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be
used in a manner that would cause the Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the
meaning of the Code and Regulations.
Section 7. Pending Federal Tax Legislation.
7.01. Tax Reform Bill. This Council understands that on December 17, 19859
the United States House of Representatives passed H.R. 3838 (the Tax Reform Bill),
which, among other things, includes substantial additional requirements which
must be satisfied by the issuers of municipal obligations (including obligations
of the character of the Bonds) in order that the interest on such obligations be
and remain exempt from federal income taxation. In their current form, the pro-
visions of the Tax Reform Bill apply to municipal obligations issued after
December 31, 1985. On March 14, 1986, the Chairmen and Ranking Members of the
U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Ways and Means and the U.S. Senate
8/18/86
a
Committee on Finance and the Secretary of Treasury issued a Joint Statement on
the Effective Dates of Pending Tax Reform Legislation (the Joint Statement). The
Joint Statement endorses postponement (until September 1, 1986, or the date of
enactment of tax reform legislation, whichever is earlier) of the effective date
of certain provisions and restrictions of the Tax Reform Bill applicable to
certain municipal obligations, including the Bonds. Such provisions and restrict-
ions of the Tax Reform Bill include the definition of ".,.:onessential function"
bonds, new arbitrage restrictions, restrictions on the early issuance of bonds
and information reporting requirements. The Joint Statement is a statement of
intent only and is not binding on Congress. The municipal bond market, however,
appears to have accepted an issue of municipal obligations where the issuer
has not covenanted to comply with those provisions of the Tax Reform Bill covered
by the Joint Statement. To enhance the marketability of the Bonds, this Council
has determined it to be necessary and desirable and in the best interests of the
City to structure the Bonds and the application of the proceeds thereof in a
manner so as to comply with the requirements of the Tax Reform Bill interpreted
in accordance with the Joint Statement and, to use the best efforts of the City
to comply, if possible, with the requirements of the Tax Reform Bill as finally
enacted, assuming that, as finally enacted, it would apply to the Bonds.
7.02. Covenants; Reliance on Joint Statement. The City covenants and agrees
with the owners from time to time of the Bonds that it will take, and will cause
its officers, employees or agents to take, all actions necessary to comply with
the Tax Reform Bill, and that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of
its officers, employees or agents any actions that would cause interest on the
Bonds to become subject to federal income taxation under the Tax Reform Bill,
until the Tax Reform Bill•.is enacted or the 99th Congress adjourns sine die
without enactment of the Tax Reform Bill. In addition, the City covenants and
agrees with the owners from time to time of the Bonds that if the Tax Reform
Bill is enacted and its provisions are applicable to the Bonds, that the City,
to the extent it is authorized by law, will use its best efforts to take, and to
cause its officers, employees and agents to take, all actions necessary to comply
with the Tax Reform Bill as enacted, and that it will not take or permit to be
taken by any of its officers, employees or agents any action which would cause
interest on the Bonds to become subject to federal income taxation under the
provisions of the Tax Reform Bill as enacted. In reliance on the Joint State-
ment, however, the covenants of the City contained in this Section 7.02 to
comply with the Tax Reform Bill as passed by the U.S. House of Representatives
or as finally enacted do not include compliance with those provisions of the
Tax Reform Bill the effective dates of which are postponed by the Joint State-
ment. The City covenants that if, notwithstanding the Joint Statement, such
provisions are applicable to the Bonds, the City will use its best efforts to
comply, to the extent then possible, with such provisions, but no assurance
can be given that such compliance would then be possible.
7.03. Proposed Interest Disallowance. The City hereby designates the Bonds
as "qualified tax - exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 802(e) of the
Tax Reform Bill relating to the disallowance of interest expenses for financial
institutions.
7.04. Amendment of Resolution. The City reserves the right to amend or
modify the provisions of Section 7.02, if and to the extent that the City receives
an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that such amendment or modifi-
cation will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of
the interest on the Bonds under then existing laws or regulations or the Tax
Reform Bill.

PUBLIC HEARING ON PERMANENT STREET SURFACING WITH CURB AND GUTTER IMPROVEMENT
NO. P -BA -267 CONTINUED TO 9/8/86. Engineer Hoffman stated that at its meeting of
August 4, 1986 the Council had continued the public hearing on Permanent Street
Surfacing Improvement No. P -BA -267 to this meeting. He advised that the developer
has requested the public hearing be continued to the meeting of September 8, 1986.
Motion of Member Bredesen was seconded by Member Turner to continue the public
hearing on Permanent Street Surfacing Improvement No. P -BA -267 to September 8, 1986.
Ayes: Bredesen, Kelly, Richards, Turner
Motion carried.
8/18/86
PUBLIC HEARING CONDUCTED; SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT NO. P -S -36 APPROVED. Affidavits
of Notice were presented by Clerk, approved and ordered placed on file. Engineer
Hoffman explained that this is an informal public hearing on the construction of
sidewalk on the West side of Gleason Road from Valley View Road to Cherokee Trail.
This hearing has been called as a result of requests from residents in this area
for better pedestrian access to the Creek Valley Elementary School. Estimated
cost of construction is $84,872.76 and the concrete sidewalk is proposed to be
five feet wide. The entire cost of the improvement is proposed to be paid from
Municipal State Aid funds and no.- assessment.is proposed against abutting properties.
Graphics were presented of.the plans which include a narrowing of Gleason Road
between Balder Lane and Cherokee Trail to protect.existing wall structure. The
alignment will be varied to protect existing property features to the greatest
extent possible. Because this is proposed as a State Aid project, plans would
be submitted to MNDOT for approval and it would be necessary for the Council to
adopt a resolution banning parking for one block from Balder Lane to Cherokee
Trail. If approved, bids could be taken in September and construction could be
begun in October. Mr. Hoffman noted that a letter of objection to the project
had been received from L. Thomas Gartner, 6520 Gleason Road. Member Turner asked
if State Aid funds were available for the proposed project. Mr. Hoffman said
less State Aid funds would be encumbered for the West 50th Street project for
this year. John Dunnigan, 6225 Balder Lane, asked how many children would be
using the proposed sidewalk and suggested that if they were bused to the school
the sidewalk would not be needed. Speaking in support of the project were:
Carol Grossman, 6616 Gleason Road; John and Nan Castino, 6624 Gleason Road;
Marti Jansen, 6216 St. Albins Circle, who presented a list of residents on
St. Albins Circle in support of the project. Virginia Bodine, 6525 Gleason
Road, stated that speed on Gleason Road is part of the issue for the side-
walk request and that something must be done about controlling the speeding
of vehicles. Mayor Pro -Tem Richards asked how the proposed project fits into
the City's sidewalk plan. Mr. Hoffman explained that no sidewalk for the west
side of Gleason would have been proposed if there had not been a request from
the homeowners who now reside in that area. The City's plan is to construct
a sidewalk on one side only of all major collector streets. No further comment
being heard, Member Turner introduced the following resolution and moved adoption:
RESOLUTION ORDERING GLEASON ROAD SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT

AMENDMENTS TO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 1980 -1990 ADOPTED; KEY ISSUES FOR I -494 CORRIDOR
STUDY DISCUSSED. Planner Craig Larsen said that this public hearing has been
called to consider amendments to the Comprehensive Plan 1980 -1990 and that
the proposed amendments to the Plan reflect changes suggested by the Council
during the Saturday work session of January 25, 1986. The proposed amendments
were considered and approved by the Community - Development and Planning Commission
at its April 30, 1986 meeting. Since then staff has been working on transporta-
tion issues related to the southern part of the City, in particular I -494.
Mr. Larsen presented graphics showing potential non - residential development and
redevelopment in southern Edina representing possible full development by the
year 2010 and using maximum development allowed by the Zoning Ordinance in making
the projections. The areas for potential development were identified by Trans-
portation Analysis Zones (TAZs) which had been assigned to the City in the 1970's
8%18%86
when the Comprehensive Plan was first prepared. The following summary was pre-
sented:

Mayor Pro -Tem Richards asked for comments regarding the other amendments to the
Plan with regard to the Land Use, Housing, Environmental Protection and Community
Facilities prior to discussion on the Transportation Element. Member Turner
recalled that in the January work session there was discussion on adding a Human
Services Element. Mr. Larsen stated that there is no pattern to follow, that all
communities are in the thinking stage and that the Metropolitan Council is in
the process of developing criteria for what they would like to see in a Human
Services plan. Following discussion, it was concluded not to draft a Human
Services Element at this time. Member Turner also commented that she would like
to have included in the Transportation Element a reference to the survey taken by
the City in April, 1986 with regard to citizens' non - support of additional transit
opportunities within the City. Member Turner then directed the Council's attention
to the key issues identified by the I -494 Project Management Team (I -494 Corridor
Study) and asked for discussion and direction. The issues presented were:
1) Land Development /Travel Demand /Transportation Supply Relationships,
2) Role of Major Transit Capital Investments in the I -494 Corridor,
3) Role of I -494 in Serving Medium and Short Trips,
4) Role of the Private Sector and Public Sector in Financing Roadway and Transit
Improvements, and
5) Right -of -Way Constraint /Adjacent Frontage Roads /Detached Frontage Roads.
Member Turner pointed out that the key issue for consideration is the Land Deve-
lopment /Travel Demand /Transportation Supply Relationships. For the study, each
city has defined the possible maximum square footage of development at full land
use within its ordinances. It is expected that those numbers will probably'.exceed
what can physically be- built. Member Turner commented that in looking at the
Transportation Element in the Comprehensive Plan is seems clear that
the City's philosophy has been to control traffic by controlling development.
The Council then discussed land use control summarized as follows: 1) it must
be administered fairly regardless of when development takes place, 2) breadth
of control over land use must include all communities from which traffic feeds
into the I -494 corridor, 3) contributing factor is level of tolerance people will
accept with regard'to traffic delay,,4) the Metropolitan Council should act as a
regional planning authority to control land use and the resulting impact on
I- 494 and 5) that developments should bear part of the cost to provide for high-
ways serving those developments. With regard to key issue No. 2, it was felt
that transit will not be a solution for traffic problems on I -494. On key issue
No. 3 regarding medium and short length trips it was noted that the Comprehensive
Plan supports the ring route system which is a concept designed to promote traffic
circulation along I -494 and to divert local traffic from the freeway. This
concept was first proposed in the DMJM study completed in 1972. It was agreed
that the ring road system should only extend north to 77th and 76th Streets. In
discussing key issue No. 4 it was pointed out that in some states developments
have to pay for transportation improvements not just for abutting streets but
for arterial roadways /highways if they are over a certain level. The comment was
made that to be equitable, cities would have to go back and look at how they would
spread that type of cost to existing or future development. With regard to private
sector financing of off -site roadway improvements by tax increment financing, no
support was indicated for that.technique. As to key issue No. 5, it was felt that
acquiring right of way for widening of I -494 would be extremely costly and that if
a high level of development along the corridor is to be allowed, then regulating
agencies and /or municipalities will have to look to developments for financing
the acquisition of additional right of way as a condition for approving those
developments which impact traffic on I -494. With regard to any proposed upgrading
of County Road 462 to alleviate traffic on I -494, it was agreed that the City should
vigorously oppose that alternative, with the exception of supporting improvement
of the I -35 /Crosstown commons area. The Council also reiterated its opposition
to any widening of arterial or collector streets (i.e. West 50th Street) as an
alternative for alleviating traffic on I -494. No public comment was heard on the
Transportation element of the Plan. Member Turner then introduced the following
resolution and moved adoption:

EDINA CENTENNIAL COMMISSION BUDGET PRESENTED. Dennis Maetzold, treasurer of
the Edina Centennial Commission, recalled that in June 1986, Betty Hemstad
and Kay Bach, co- chairs of the Commission and he had made a presentation to
the Council concerning the 1988 Edina Centennial. Proposed program events
and a preliminary budget were presented. The finance committee has been re-
viewing the budget and has estimated that the centennial operating expense
will be $75,000.. Based on the committee's estimate it has developed specific
fund raising goals: 1) to fund the $75,000 operating expense and 2) to raise
$250,000 to be used for a lasting memorial, specifically a permanent home for
the Edina Historical Society for a total fund raising goal of $325,000. He
outlined funding sources or strategies as follows: 1) business contributions of
$100,000 (event sponsorship /direct giving), 2) individual contributions,
3) year -long raffle and 4) City of Edina support. The specific request from
the City is for a $25,000 contribution in both 1987 and 1988, with a "loan" in
1987 to cover operating expenses in excess of the City's $25,000 contribution.
Mayor Pro -Tem Richards expressed concern that the contributions may not come
in as anticipated and that the City would be the major contributor. Member
Turner pointed out that there are enough control points in the planning process
so that the program could be scaled back if there was not community financial
support. Attorney Erickson advised that the City must control the expenditure
8/18/86
of the $50,000 in the same manner as it controls other public funds. In response
Mr. Maetzold commented that the Centennial really is a City function and that
the Edina Centennial Commission is a commision of the City. Following discussion,
it was informally agreed to act upon the Centennial budget request when the Council
considers the draft 1987 Budget in September. '
MANAGER'S RESPONSE TO MANAGERMENT AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT GIVEN. Manager Rosland
stated.that following the Strategic Planning session of July 14, he has reviewed
the Management Audit Committee's Report. He outlined recommendations which have
been completed or are underway regarding Strategic Planning, Finance, Operations
and Personnel; recommendations which should be implemented; recommendations
relating to Strategic Planning issues and recommendations with which staff dis-
agrees. Member Bredesen suggested that these comments and recommendations as
outlined in the August 18, 1986 memorandum be referred to the committee for their
response. Mr. Rosland said he would contact the chairman with the Council's
suggestion and would report back on the subject. No formal action was taken.
REPORT GIVEN ON MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT AND FLOODING PROBLEMS. Engineer
Hoffman reported that engineers and staff from the cities downstream of Minnehaha
Creek, together with a council member from Minneapolis, had met on August 5, 1986
to discuss a united effort to appear before the Watershed District Board and ask
it to be more cognizant of downstream concerns. They have determined that there
are approximately 8 to 10 homes downstream that have the potential for flooding
resulting in structural problems to the buildings. It was the consensus of the
engineers that the communities should unite to request the Board to review their
policy as it relates to those homes and work with the communities to provide flood
protection in some form through a joint effort. The purpose of the joint effort
would be to develop a design that would protect homes along the creek and to
look at funding options to provide that protection which would possibly include
some assessment to property owners. Mr. Hoffman recommended that the Council
adopt a resolution asking the Board to review the information and request their
participation in flood protection for those homes. Member Kelly was asked to
attend the August 21 Board Meeting with Mr. Hoffman when the cities would present
their request. Margaret Francis, 4609 Cascade Lane, reiterated her request that
something be done this Fall so that their home would not be flooded again next
Spring. Sharon Libby, 4612 Cascade Lane, said that they had incurred considerable
expense already in repairing a retaining wall that had been damaged by flooding
and questioned additional cost of a special assessment. Mayor Pro -Tem Richards
suggested that Mrs. Francis and Mrs. Libby also attend the Board meeting to give
their input. Member Kelly then introduced the following resolution and moved
adoption:
RRgnT.TTTTnM
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of,Edina, Minnesota, that it hereby supports
a joint effort by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and the downstream
communities, including Edina, to provide design and funding to protect homes
along Minnehaha Creek from flooding.
Motion for adoption of the resolution was seconded by Member Turner.
Rollcall:
Ayes: Bredesen, Kelly, Richards, Turner

APPROVED. Manager Rosland recalled that a revised
presented to the Council at its last meeting for
shows an adjustment from $3,665,000 down to a total
8/18/86
of $2,958,000. Member Turner asked if that would mean that in 1987 there
would be additional funds to use for capital improvements. Engineer Hoffman
indicated that State Aid funding will be less next year because of cutbacks
that have occured and because the motor vehicle excise tax was not transferred.
Member Turner made a motion to approve the 1986 Revised Capital Budget as
presented. Motion was.seconded by Member Kelly.

RESOLUTION ADOPTED GIVING FINAL APPROVAL TO TRANSFER OF CONTROLLING INTEREST IN
CITY'S CABLE TELEVISION FRANCHISE. Manager Rosland recalled that the Council
had held a public hearing on May 5, 1986 and had at that time given preliminary
approval to a change of ownership and refinancing plan for Rogers Cablesystems
of Minnesota. He said that the refinancing is now in place and the Southwest
Suburban Cable Commission (SWSCC) has reviewed all documentation for the change
of ownership and refinancing and recommends approval. No comment being heard,
Member Bredesen introduced the following resolution and moved adoption:
RESOLUTION GIVING FINAL APPROVAL
TO A TRANSFER OF CONTROLLING INTEREST
IN CITY'S CABLE TELEVISION FRANCHISE

WHEREAS,'the Resolution of the SWSCC recommends compliance by Grantee of certain
conditions; and
WHEREAS, it is intended that this Resolution will serve to approve the refinancing
plan of Grantee that includes first, with the adoption of this Resolution, the
approval of the transfer of controlling interest in Grantee, and second, based on

an amendment to a Loan Agreement, an opportunity for improving the financial
operating condition of Grantee;
WHEREAS, Rogers Cablesystems of the Southwest, Inc., formerly Rogers Cablesystems
of Minnesota, Inc. ( "RCSI ") is the general partner of Grantee and is a wholly -owned
subsidiary of Rogers U.S. Cablesystems, Inc. ( "RUSCI "); and
WHEREAS, the proposed transfer of controlling interest calls for a change in owner-
ship of Grantee's general partner through transfer of the ownership of the shares
of RCSI from RUSCI to Rogers American Cable Corp. ( "RACC "), a wholly -owned subsi-
diary of Rogers Cablesystems of America, Inc., ( "RCA "); and
WHEREAS, RCSI and Grantee have represented to the SWSCC, which acts on behalf of
the City on certain matters related to cable television, that in conjunction with

meet operating expenses and debt service payments and RCA will also guarantee per-
formance of Grantee's under the Franchise Ordinance and Relief Ordinance; and

to RCSI; and
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes Section 238.083, and Article XII of the Franchise
Ordinance, require City approval of any transfer of controlling interest of
Grantee; and
WHEREAS, it appears that the proposed transfer of controlling interest will not

to it at its meeting and finds, based on the foregoing; that
A. All procedural requirements set forth in the Franchise and Minnesota state
law regarding the consideration of a cable communications system franchise
transfer of controlling interest and the approval of the refinancing have been
complied with;
B. The proposed transfer of controlling interest and refinancing would be in
the public interest as contemplated under the Franchise and that the transferee
has demonstrated that the transfer of controlling interest will enable the
transferee to finance the cable communications system in a more efficient manner
that currently existing, thereby eliminating potential financial pressure and
cash flow problems on the systems and on future subscriber rates;
C. As part of the transfer of controlling interest request and approval of it,
the City has relied upon SWSCC's financial consultant representations that by

Motion carried.
PRELIMINARY REZONING & PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVED FOR NAMRON CORPORATION. Planner
Larsen presented the request for preliminary rezoning and preliminary plat approval
for Namron Corporation, generally located north of Vernon Avenue and west of Villa
Way. The zoning request'was a change from R -1 Single Dwelling Unit District to
PRD -4 Planned Residence District. Mr. Larsen explained that the subject request
was heard two times by the Community Development and Planning Commission. On July
2, 1986, the proponent submitted plans for a three - story, 150 -unit apartment
building to the Commission. The request was continued by the Commission to allow
the proponent time to address density, parking /traffic and site development issues.
The proponent returned to the Commission on July 30, 1986, with a revised plan
illustrating a:'135 -unit apartment building. Density of the proposed development had
been reduced from 21.9 units per acre to 19.8 units per acre. This compares to 18
for Villa Way and 24 for Interlachen Court, apartment buildings which are adjacent
to the subject property. Mr. Larsen pointed out that the revised plan illustrates
169 covered parking spaces and 101 surface spaces. The spaces provided conform to
the Zoning Ordinance requirement of 1.25 covered spaces per unit and .75 surface
spaces. In response to comments, the plan suggests eliminating 33 of the surface
spaces which would help save the existing site vegetation. Hennepin County has re-
viewed the project and approved the proposed curb cut location. Mr. Larsen indicated
that the Planning Commission recommended preliminary rezoning approval and preliminary
plat approval with the following conditions: 1) acceptable final development plans;
2) final plat approval; 3) subdivision dedication; 4) developer's agreement; and
5) proof of parking agreement. In addition, the following recommendations should be
considered: 1) trim an area of greenspace on Ayrshire Boulevard to improve the site
lines to enter Vernon Avenue; 2) request that traffic counts be taken by Hennepin
County at the Ayrshire Boulevard /Vernon Avenue intersection; 3) recommend if
warranted that a traffic signal be erected at the Ayrshire Boulevard /Vernon Avenue
intersection or a realignment of the road to better improve the site lines; and 4)
reduction of the speed limit along Vernon Avenue from 40 miles per hour to 30 miles
per hour. Mr. Norman Bjornes, the developer, was introduced. He explained that the
project would have a brick exterior, elevators, TV security and all the amenities of
a first -class home. No bond financing or subsidies will be sought; the project will
stand on its own two feet financially. There will be $1 million worth of landscaping.
d
9/8/86
This project will provide approximately $135,000 in new tax revenues. Mr. Nick
Palaia, the architect, was introduced. He commented that the site is unique and
challenging and presents great opportunities. The development will complement the
adjacent developments. The most .unique feature of the site-is that it is extremely
tree covered and severely sloped; these features would allow the developer
to take a large development and depress it into a private, inward site. Essentially,
the project will be below the existing developments. By lowering the number of units
from 212 to 135, the setbacks were significantly increased beyond what is required;
as a result, most of the vegetation around the periphery can be saved and privacy
maintained from the single - family developments on the west and from Villa Way and
Interlachen Court. A forester has been hired to help make judgments on the type of
vegetation to be added to preserve the privacy during the winter months. 50% of the
units are one - bedroom units; 42% are two - bedroom units; 8% are three - bedroom units.
Three stories in height was chosen because there is a very direct relationship between
parking and the height of the building. There appears to be no problems with sewage
and site drainage, and water coming onto and off of the site can be handled. Mr. Mitch
Wanson, a traffic engineer from Benshoof & Associates, was introduced. He has
examined the existing traffic situation on Vernon Avenue in the vicinity of the site
and analyzed.the impacts which this proposed development might have on Vernon Avenue.
He stated the following conclusions based upon his analysis: 1) Vernon Avenue is a
minor arterial roadway. In the vicinity of the proposal, there are approximately 27
vehicles per minute during the PM peak hour. Current traffic concerns include sight
distance at Ayrshire Boulevard and Villa Way and high vehicular speed; 2) The
development, Vernon Woods, is expected to generate 824 daily trips and 94 P. M. peak hour
trips; 3) The main access to Vernon Woods has received Hennepin County approval; and
4) It is concluded that the public roadway system can safely and effectively accom-
modate development traffic with no significant impacts on existing traffic concerns.
,,To assist in the resolution of existing traffic concerns, it is recommended that:
1) Existing understory vegetation at Ayrshire Boulevard be trimmed to improve sight
lines; 2) The City monitor traffic growth in the vicinity of Eden Avenue /Vernon Avenue
to determine if additional traffic signalization is warranted; 3) The City continue to
enforce the speed limit on Vernon Avenue in the vicinity of the site; and 4) The City
consider requesting Hennepin County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation to
perform a speed limit analysis for Vernon Avenue. Member Turner inquired as to whether
the standing water to the west of the property proposed to be developed indicated a
problem with storm water drainage. Mr. Hoffman said that the current storm water
drainage system has the ability to handle the proposed development subject to modifi-
cations. Mr. Bill Mahoney, 5309 Ayrshire, said that he is adjacent to this proposed
complex. He is concerned that this project will change the character of the neighborhood.
Mr. Mahoney reported that Mr. Bjornes does not really own the subject property as
indicated in the County records. Mr. Mahoney also commented that he and the neighbors
were not against Mr. Bjornes developing the property but rather they are against the
concept that the development will be high density. He felt that the alternative - -singl
family residences - -would be more desirable and should be considered by Mr. Bjornes.
This would put it on the same footing as the existing area. -Mrs. Wadsworth, 5300
Vernon Avenue, indicated that her concern is the traffic hazard and pollution. Mr.
Mike Bolen, 5207 Doncaster Way, implied that the heart of the issue is the changing
of the original plan for the use of the land - -a shift from the residential use that
was originally designed to a high density unit. He reported that currently it is very
difficult exiting onto Ayrshire. Mr. Robert Vaughn, 5224.Duncraig Road, feels that
crime will become a major concern with the development of this high density project.
Buzz Jonason, 5300 Glenbrae Circle, questioned whether or not the traffic consultant
had considered the impact of the increase in traffic generated by Jerry's. Mr. Wanson
responded that his consulting firm has not accounted for additional development on
the Jerry's site. Mr. Hoffman indicated that at least two years ago a study was done
on the Grandview traffic area which included all potential developments in this
Vernon Avenue vicinity; the City as a result has reviewed what should be done if all
potential projects are begun, and Mr. Hoffman commented that there will be adequate
roadways to deal with this issue. Dr. Robert Benjamin, 5205 Duricraig Road, objects to
the change in zoning; this project would be at the expense of those who have single -
family homes in the area in that it would be a loss of equity for them. Carol Grossman,
6616 Gleason Road, objects to the zoning change because of the potential of a traffic
increase. Member Richards asked when the property was first subject to a comprehensive
plan and the density of Interlachen Court, Villa Way and the Biltmore site. Planner
Larsen indicated that the designation of "high density residential" dates back to the
Comprehensive Plan of 1980. Prior to this, in 1966 the City Council approved a
re- zoning for a seven - story, 175 unit apartment project on the same site. That
project did not go to completion after the preliminary re- zoning stage, and it
was, therefore, never built. The area of crime was mentioned, and Member Bredesen
9/8/86
questioned the crime impact this development would have on the area. Chief
Swanson responded that at Highland Villa there has not been much of a problem.
Theft, however, is more common in high- density dwellings and apartment complexes
with underground garages. The neighborhood to the west of the proposed project
is one of the safer ones in the City. Member Turner questioned the number of trips
per unit generated by this kind of land use. The traffic consultant responded
that this figure is 6.1 (three in and three out). Mr. Roy Dickman, 6424 Aspen Road,
does not see how this proposed development will hurt property values being that it
will be snuggled into a hill and below Villa Way and should not have any effect on
homes up on the hill. Furthermore, he commented that it is on Vernon Avenue and
closer to commercial road than is Villa Way. He believes that people who want to
retire in Edina would favor this location. Shirley Haffner, 5244 Lochloy, expressed
the concern that there should be no need for more high- density developments in
Edina. Member Bredesen remarked that there are already problems on Vernon Avenue
which will continue whether or not this project is developed. This development will
not make traffic problems any worse. He believes that the developer has made a good
attempt to create a project consistent with the surrounding land. Member Turner
stated that PRD -4 zoning is appropriate for that land but has a concern about the
storm water drainage. She would like to see a sidewalk be built along the north side
of Vernon. She also commented that Traffic Safety should look at this issue once
again. Member Kelly also had a concern about the storm sewer and believes that the
development would adversely impact the existing neighborhood. Member Richards
would like to see some commitment made before second reading with what the developer
would do in picking up some of the cost of signalization. There being no further
discussion, Member Bredesen introduced the following ordinance for first reading
and moved its adoption, subject to the following conditions: 1) acceptable final
development plans; 2) final plat approval; 3) subdivision dedication; 4) developer's
agreement; 5) proof of parking agreement; 6) storm sewer and sidewalk approval; and
7) signalization contribution:

the "Highlander" which is the new centerfold in the Edina Sun - Current. Mr. Rosland
commented that in the future it will be a separate section rather than just a
centerfold.
CONCERN EXPRESSED OVER THE BALANCE OF HOUSING NEEDS IN EDINA. Member Kelly expressed
her growing concern that the City may be in conflict with its Mission Statement
which essentially states that Edina's primary objective is to foster and enhance
the City's original concept of a single family community and to protect existing
housing and residential neighborhoods. Edina's focus should be on pl4ns and methods
to increase affordable single family housing stock and to increase the opportunities
for young families to locate in Edina. The City should not encourage more expensive
multi- family housing but rather innovative programs for single family housing. The
pressure for more density in housing causes conflict with existing neighborhoods
and burdens the City's infrastructure - - roads, sewers, drainage - -which was designed
for a single family environment. Member Kelly believes that the balance has shifted
away from the primary objective of enhancement of the single family community to
the concept of multi- family housing. She recommended that the Council undertake a
re- assessment of the mission and comprehensive plan as it relates to housing and
develop specific programs to encourage single family housing development and re-
development. Member Turner suggested that discussion on this topic begin in
January of 1987.
PETITION FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS REFERRED TO ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT. Mr. Rosland
advised that a petition had been received for public improvements and recommended
that it be referred to the Engineering Department for processing. Member Kelly's

CITY OF EDINA
In The Matter of the Application FINDINGS,
of Robert E. Hanson
DECISIONS,
for Rezoning of Property and
at Vernon Avenue and Vernon Court REASONS
(Z =86 =1)
The above entitled matter was heard before the City Council,
City of Edina, on May 19, September 15, and October 20, 1986.
Robert E. Hanson (the "Proponent ") and his architect David C.
Darrell were present. The City Council, having heard all of the
facts and arguments presented by the Proponent, his architect,
City Staff, and property owners in the vicinity of the subject
rezoning, and having heard and reviewed the evidence and law
adduced by the Proponent, his representative, City Staff, and
property owners, and being fully advised, after due
consideration, hereby makes the following:
I f
FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. The Proponent, on March 21, 1986, submitted an application
for rezoning from Ril, Single Dwelling Unit District to PRD =2,
Planned Residence District for a 138,900 square foot tract of
land located east of Vernon Avenue and north of Vernon Court.
The property is unplatted and is part of the northeast
one_ quarter of the northwest one quarter of Section 6, Township
116, Range 21 of Hennepin County, Minnesota. The property is
vacant.
2. The rezoning initially proposed sixteen townhouse units,
arranged in four, unit buildings. The proposed site plan
illustrated front street setbacks varying from 6 feet to 20
feet. Edina Ordinance No. 825 (the "Zoning Ordinance ") requires
a front street setback of 30 feet. A rear yard setback of 25
feet was provided by one of the buildings. The Zoning Ordinance
requires a minimum rear yard setback of 35 feet.
3. The Edina Community Development and Planning Commission (the
"Commission ") first considered the proposed rezoning at its April
2, 1986 meeting. The Commission reviewed the report of the
Planning Department and considered testimony by the proponent and
his architect. The Commission voted to continue the request for
rezoning to its April 30, 1986 meeting, and advised the proponent
to increase the setbacks provided.
4. The request for rezoning was listed on the April 30, 1986
Commission agenda. No new plans were submitted to the Planning
Department prior to the Commission meeting. The proponent and
his architect appeared before the Commission with a revised site
plan. The revised plan continued to illustrate a 16 unit
development as initially proposed. The proposed front street
setbacks remained the same as the previous plan and the rear yard
setback was increased from 25 to 29 feet. The Commission voted
to deny the requested rezoning due to the setback variances
requested.
5. The proposed rezoning was scheduled for a public hearing
before the Council on May 19, 1986. Notice of the public hearing
was published in the Edina Sun_ Current and was mailed to property
owners within 500 feet of the subject property. The proponent
submitted plans for the proposed rezoning which were changed from
those considered by the Commission. The plans continued to
illustrate the same 16 unit townhouse development as previous
plans. However, the site plan was altered to increase certain
setbacks. The setback from the cul de sac was increased from 6
to 10 feet and remaining front street setbacks increased to 25
feet. The rear yard setback was reduced from 29 feet to 25
feet. The Council voted to refer the proposed rezoning back to
the to the Commission to allow the proponent an opportunity to
prepare a revised site plan.
6. The proposed rezoning was again considered by the Commission
at its July 2, 1986 meeting. The proponent was not present, but
was represented by Mr. Darrell and Mr. Cross who presented a
revised site plan illustrating 15 units, three four unit
buildings and one three unit building. The revised site plan
illustrated a 27 foot front yard setback, 3 feet short of the 30
foot setback required in the PRD =2 District. The revised site
plan conformed to all other setback requirements. The Commission
voted to recommend denial of the proposed rezoning citing the
lack of conformance with setback requirements.
7. The proposed rezoning was next heard by Commission at its
August 27, 1986 meeting. The site plan continued to illustrate a
15 unit townhouse proposal. The revised plan conformed to all
setback requirements of the Ordinance. The Commission voted to
recommend approval of the proposed rezoning.
8. A public hearing was scheduled before the Council on
September 15, 1986. Notice of the meeting was published in the
Edina Sun-Current and notice was mailed to property owners within
500 feet of the subject property. A representative of Viking
Hills Homeowners Association testified stating the following
concerns:
A. Increased traffic on Vernon Avenue generated
by the development.
B. The density of the development relative to
neighi,oring single family developments.
C. The protection of the open space immediately
north of the subject property.
D. Alteration to the hill and the need for retaining
walls caused by the development.
After hearing testimony by neighbors and proponent the
Council continued the proposed rezoning to its October 6, 1986
meeting.
9. The Zoning Ordinance establishes the following minimum
standards for the PRD =2 Planned Residence District:
Lot Area Per Dwelling Unit
Maximum Building Coverage
Front Street Set Back
Interior Side Yard Setback
Rear Yard Set Back
7,200
square feet
25
per cent
30
feet
20
feet
35
feet
The proposal for rezoning complies with requirements
established by the Ordinance.
10. The subject property is designated as suitable for low
density attached residential by the Edina Comprehensive Plan (the
"Plan "). The Plan defines Low Density Attached Residential as
follows:
"This designation is intended to include two family
dwellings, townhouses and other multi = family developments
containing a maximum of four units per building or structure.
Single family dwellings may also be a compatible use in such
areas. It is intended that this designation will provide a
variety of housing types in
family residential areas an,
between single family areas
intensive uses. Although a
is noted, maximum densities
single family densities."
relatively close proximity to single
3 will represent a transitional use
and high volume roadways or more
maximum of 6 dwelling units per acre
will be influenced by surrounding
11. The Environmental Protection Element of the Plan contains
the following objective:
"Protect the lands, waterbodies, and watercourses of Edina
from erosion, sedimentation, slippage, and vegetation removal
from inappropriate uses of steep slopes."
The proposed development includes retaining walls behind the
most easterly 3 buildings. Portions of the hill above the
retaining wall will also be altered by the development.
12. According to the Institute of Traffic Engineers Trip
Generation Handbook, 1976, between 1 and 12 trips per day per
unit for multi= family developments are generated with an average
of 6.1 trips per unit per day. Local studies have indicated a
trip generation range of 6 to 8 trips per day for developments
such as the proposed development. Therefore, the proposed 15
unit development could be expected to generate between 90 and 120
trips per day.
13. The subject property abuts City open space referred to as
Krahl Hill. Krahl Hill was acquired by the City with $35,000 in
financial assistance from the Viking Hills Homeowners Association
to protect the hill and its natural vegetation.
14. The Zoning Ordinance Minnesota State Statute require that
petitions for rezoning be granted only if they receive an
affirmative vote of four = fifths of all members of the Council.
Therefore, based upon the foregoing findings the City
Council does hereby make the following:
DECISION
The proposed rezoning as presented to the Council on
September 15, 1986 is hereby denied.
The above decision is made for the following reasons.
REASONS
1. The density is too great and the unit sizes too large for
the subject property. Fewer, smaller units would eliminate the
need for alteration of the existing steep slopes on the property.
2. The proposed development will aggravate the existing traffic
problems on Vernon Avenue.
3. Although the proposed density (4.7 units per acre) is within
the limits established by the Low Density Attached Residential
Land Use Designation of the Comprehensive Plan a further
reduction in density is warranted due to the proximity of single
family homes to the north and northeast of the subject property.
4. The City made a commitment to the neighborhood to protect
the open space represented by Krahl Hill when it acquired the
property. The size of the units, location and number of units
proposed could negatively impact the slopes and vegetation of the
open space area.

Dear Craig:

RE: Robert E, Hanson
Z -U0 6 -1
Our File # 86- 6 -004A
I acknowledge yours with the proposed Findings in regard
to the above, and would like to comment thereon.
I understand that you have sheet # 5 of David C. Darrell,
Inc's. plans which illustrate the hill behind the proposed
development and that you will furnish those drawings to the
members of the Council prior to the October 20th meeting.
As additional Findings of Fact I would suggest the follow-
ing be added:
15. This property faces the Crosstown Highway and no
other buildings will be built between it and the
Highway as that property is owned by the Highway
Department.

16. To the Southwest of subject property are five units
in one building of townhouses; to the East are eleven
buildings, each of which is at least a double and they
are substantial in size; that Northwest of this pro-
perty are townhouses on a five unit to the acre density
and they are much closer and visable to the subject pro-
perty than Viking Hills Development.
Mr. Craig Larsen -2- October 15, 1986
17. The road easement for Vernon Court was all taken from
Mr. Hanson's property and he will be paying for the
entire road without any help from anyone across the
street as is normal, and accordingly the size and value
of the proposed development is necessary to make this
project economic. There was discussion at the various
hearings,as indicated by your Findings,regarding setback.
In order to meet the setback requirements of the Ordinance
Mr. Hanson will have to take more of the hill.
18. The so- called Krahl Hill is north of our property and we
will cut into that a very little bit as indicated on
sheet # 5. We are not proposing a great excavation and
one large wall which would not only be unattractive, but
could be a safety factor. The property will be terraced
and in fact Mr. Hanson has suggested that as a part of his
dedication that the rear or northerly 20 feet be dedicated
to the park to further protect both the hill and subject
property. As I look at sheet # 1 which is the site plan
it would appear that the property at Vernon Court has an
elevation of 908 and 910. The highest part of our property
would appear to be approximately 980. That is not the top
of the hill. Facetiously,a building could be built there
that would be nine stories high (at 8 feet per floor) and
it still would not be as high as the hill and not be viewed
by the Viking Hills neighbors. In addition there is no road
access from our property into the Viking Hills area. The
Homeowners Association ih this development will maintain the
hill, and the lawn, shovel and paint the exterior.
Referring specifically to the Findings that you have prepared, I
would like to comment on Finding.# 8.
a. As to traffic on Vernon Avenue, some of the traffic
from subject property would go on Vernon Avenue and some
would follow Lincoln Drive to get to Highway 18. There
would be no more traffic here then if this were zoned
R -2 or if it were a single family.
b. Density. This property is approximately 139,000 square
feet which could potentially hold 9 double units at
15,000 square feet a unit, or 19 townhouses at 7200
square feet a unit. Our proposal is for 15 units and
thus not as dense as the Ordinance permits. In addition
Mr. Craig Larsen -3- October 15, 1986
to the density comments, the neighboring property
as referred to above, both to the east, the south-
west and the northwest are as dense or more then
we are suggesting.
c. Open space: We are suggesting that we add to it
and feel that our treatment of that hill will add
to the open space and not aggrevate it.
d. Alteration of the hill. We are not affecting the
publically owned property but all adjustments because
of the hill in the form of the three retaining walls
suggested are on subject property. We are not
suggesting a large cut and then a large 15 to 20 foot
retaining wall. The highest retaining wall we are
proposing is approximately 5 to 6 feet. The 3 mini-
mum size walls are primarily in place to protect the
hill from erosion and beautification.
10. You have confirmed that our property conforms to both the
Ordinance and the comprehensive plan and we feel that it
would be a substantial improvement and addition to the City.
11. Environmental Protection. It is our intention to develop
the hill in such a way that it would protect that hill
rather than one large retaining wall which could have an
adverse affect.
12. Protection of Krahl Hill. The open space concept of Krahl
Hill would be further protected by our plan and by our
suggestion that a part of our park dedication be in an
area to the north of approximately 20 feet running approxi-
mately the entire width of the property owned by Mr. Hanson.
to elevation 922 (east to west) behind the northwest corner
of the 2nd unit from the west. This is 8700 square feet.
A visual inspection is better than words to describe what is intended
for this property. To achieve this, Mr. Hanson or I will be delighted
to show you or any councilmember, individually or collectively, this
site, together with his plans. You may call Mr. Hanson at 922 -5224, or
myself at 835 -7000 or 922 -2982 and we will meet you there or pick you
up and drive you there.
Mr. Craig Larsen -4- October 15, 1986
I would appreciate it if you would send sheet # 5 to the
members of the Council with copies of this letter for their October
20th hearing.

Mr. Del Johnson seconded the motion. All were in favor. The
motion carried.
II. NEW BUSINESS:
S =867 Preliminary Plat Approval for
Carroll Addition
General. Location: West of Gleason Road and north of
Valley View Road.
Mr. Larsen informed the Commission the subject property
contains 41,553 square feet and is developed with a single
dwelling unit. Immediately to the north of the subject property
is St. Albans Episcopal Church. All other surrounding uses are
single family dwellings.
Mr. Larsen added the owner of the subject property has
submitted a request to subdivide the property in order to create
one new buildable lot. The new lot would contain 19,346 square
feet, and the lot for the existing dwelling would contain 22,207
square feet. Both lots would exceed ordinance requirements for
lot width, lot depth and lot area. The existing dwelling would
maintain the required 10 foot setback from the new property line.
Mr. Larsen pointed out lots along this section of Valley
View Road vary significantly in size and shape. Lot sizes range
from approximately 13,000 square feet to over 40,000 square feet
for this parcel and one other. Lots to the south and east are
generally smaller and lots to the west are larger than those
proposed here. The proposed lots front on Valley View and should
be evaluated in light of conditions on Valley View Road. They do
not relate to or impact lots to the west in Indian Hills. The
proposed subdivision is similar to the lots created by Arrowhead
Ridge and Merit Ridge, subdivisions just to the south along
Valley View Road.
Mr. Larsen concluded staff recommends preliminary plat
approval conditioned upon:
1. Final Plat Approval.
2. Subdivision Dedication.
The proponents, Mr. and ?ors. Carroll were present.
Mr. Runyan asked Mr. and Mrs. Carroll their plans for the
existing dwelling. Mr. Carroll told the Commission the property
has belonged to Mrs. Carroll's family for a number of years.
Their plan is to renovate the existing home and sell the proposed
lot.
Mr. Palmer moved for preliminary plat approval. Mr. Runyan
seconded the motion. All were in favor. The motion carried.
III. ADJOURNMENT:
Mrs. Shaw moved for adjournment at 7:40 p.m. Mr. Gordon
Johnson seconded the motion. All were in favor. The motion

RE: Subdivision, 6800 Valley View Road
Dear Craig,
The above referenced property has been in my wife's family for
approximately 45 years. Our family consists of five people
living in this small two bedroom house. This leaves us severely
limited for space.
If we could split and sell about 1/2 of the property, we would
be able to upgrade our home with enough livable space to accom-
modate us all.
The proposed subdivision would make each parcel approximately
1/2 acre.
We feel with a new home on one parcel and the expansion and
remodeling of our existing home, it would enhance the neighbor-
hood and benefit all.
We look forward to working with you and welcome your questions
and comments.
Sincerely,
VJ�ohn T., Jr. Pd

Craig Swanson
MEMBERS ABSENT: None
OTHERS PRESENT: Captain Leonard Kleven; Edina Police Department
David Higgins, 5700 Warden Avenue
James Y. Smith, 6705 Normandale
Helen Smith, 6705 Normandale
SECTION A
Requests on which the Committee recommends approval as requested or modified,
and the Council's authorization of recommended action.
1. Discuss pedestrian and bicycle safety on Normandale Road (East Frontage
Road) from West 66th Street to West 70th Street.
Request received from four local residents.
ACTION TAKEN:
Mr. James Smith addressed the Committee requesting the restriping of the
East Frontage Road to create a "safety lane" for pedestrians and bicycles.
He suggested the low volume of traffic and the adequate width of the road-
way would permit this action. Mr. Smith added that there were 19 homes
along the Frontage Road and this action would promote their safety.
Mr..Hoffman suggested that restriping could be done by retaining two
traffic lanes and a narrow, approximately four (4) foot, safety lane.
Mr. Hughes questioned the possible need for two (2) lanes between West
70th Street and West 69th Street and then one (1) lane north of West 69th
Street to West 66th Street. Captain Kleven stated there is occasional
use of parking spaces near Payton Court.
Mr. Hughes moved that the East Frontage Road be restriped north of West
69th Street to West 66th Street establishing a single lane for traffic,
and east side markings for pedestrians and bicycles. Mrs. Fuhr seconded
the motion. Motion carried 5 -0.

(Continued)
2. Discuss traffic concerns at 5500 block of Benton Avenue (pond area).
Continued from September meeting for traffic study.
ACTION TAKEN:
See September 9, 1986 Traffic .Safety Committee Minutes.
Captain Kleven reported to the Committee that both speed surveys and
traffic observation had been conducted. Over 90% of traffic in the area
was at or below the 30 mph limit and enforcement of speed violations
would not be practical. He also stated that the roadway is very difficult
to drive at 30 mph and causes considerable tire squeal and vehicle noise
that may contribute to the perception of speed along the roadway.
Captain Kleven further stated that in the northwest quadrant, several
vehicles have left the roadway causing damage.. Lastly, vegetation which
causes sight distance problems will be trimmed in the near future.
Mr. Hoffman suggested that solutions along the northwest quadrant could
include reflective markers, post and chain barriers, or the addition of
portable curbing. These solutions would also serve as protection to the
sidewalk along the roadway.
Mrs. Fuhr moved that the Public Works Department be instructed to take
action to install the appropriate warnings or barriers along the Northwest
and Southeast quadrants of the Benton Avenue Pond area. Mrs. Coon
seconded the motion. Motion carried 5
3. Request for "NO PARKING" sign at 5105 West 49th Street (West 49th Street
and Westbrook Lane).
Request received from Lieutenant Jay Brask, Edina Police Department.
ACTION TAKEN:
The Committee discussed the merits of the suggested "NO PARKING" sign.
The location, on a 90 degree convergence with Westbrook Drive, would
promote safety.
Mr. Swanson moved that the Committee recommend the installation of a
"NO PARKING" sign at 5105 West 49th Street. Mr. Hughes seconded the
motion. -- Motion- carried 5 -0. - - - - - - - -- - -

(Continued)
SECTION B
Requests on which the Committee recommends denial of request.
1. Request for installation of three -way "STOP" signs at West 78th-Street
and Cahill Road.
Continued from September meeting for traffic study.
ACTION.TAKEN:
Captain Kleven restated the accident history of the intersection:
1983 - 6 accidents
1984 - 8 accidents
1985 - 3 accidents
1986 - 7 accidents
He described these accidents as being caused by "failure to yield" viola-
tions by drivers on Cahill Road. Mr. Hoffman suggested that there were
two options to the accident problem: (1) Installation of a traffic signal
at East Bush Lake Road and West 78th Street, as proposed,and approved by
Hennepin County, and (2) Installation of "STOP" signs as warranted by the
accident history. The Committee noted that this issue had been discussed
during 1984 and 1985 and no action was taken pending the Hennepin County
signal installation plans. The comment from those discussions was the
concern that "STOP" signs in conjunction with signalization would be
inconsistent with proper traffic control planning.
Captain Kleven reported that observations of the intersection during rush
hours did cause certain back -ups and delays; however, neither were excessive.
The Committee surmized that impatient driving may be a contributing factor
to accidents. Mr. Hoffman reported that a consultant is currently being
retained for study of the East Bush Lake Road intersection.
Mr. Hughes moved that the Committee recommend denial of the request for
a three -way "STOP" sign, and the consultant be requested to determine if
signalization at Cahill Road is appropriate or make any other additional
suggestions. Mr. Swanson seconded the motion. Motion carried 5 -0.
SECTION C
Requests which are deferred to a later date or referred to others.
1. Discuss traffic safety concerns on Tracy Avenue and Warden Avenue.
Request received from David Higgins,.5700 Warden Avenue.
TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MINUTES
October 14, 1986
Page 4 .
(Continued)
ACTION TAKEN:
Mr. Higgins cited the problem of excessive speed along Tracy Avenue near
Warden Avenue. He also stated that speed compounds sight - distance .problems
caused by grades of the roadway. He and neighbors have discussed solutions,
one of which being the installation of a "STOP" sign on Tracy Avenue.
Mr. Higgins further states that an .extreme hazzard exists when vehicles
overtake (pass) other vehicles both north and southbound. He suggested
that many "near miss" accidents have occurred although no actual accidents
are known.
Captain Kleven reported no reportable accidents in the area and no speed
survey has yet been conducted. Mr. Hoffman stated that the area, urban
and residential, should not normally.be thought of as an area where passing
might be permitted. Also, he reported that at 30 mph the sight - distance
is adequate.
Mrs. Fuhr moved that the Committee recommend the striping of a double-
yellow centerline on Tracy Avenue and that the request be continued for
one month pending the results of a speed survey. Mrs. Coon seconded
the motion. Motion carried 5-0.
2. Discuss traffic concerns on Vernon Avenue, Interlachen Boulevard to
Hennepin County Highway 62.
Requested by Council members.
ACTION TAKEN:
Mr. Hoffman summarized the Planning Commission and City Council's action
related to the Namron Corporation development. The Committee discussed
the history of its actions on Vernon Avenue and the results of previous
studies of the roadway. It was the consensus of the Committee that the
primary factor on Vernon Avenue that would promote safety would be the
reduction of the speed limit.
Mr. Swanson moved that the Committee recommend that the City Council pass
a resolution requesting Hennepin County conduct a survey of Vernon Avenue
with the intent to lower the posted 40 mph speed limit. Mr. Hughes
seconded the motion. Motion carried 5-0.

TO: Mayor Courtney & Council Members
FROM: Ken Rosland, City Manager
SUBJECT: FEES AND CHARGES APPROVED BY ORDINANCE
DATE: October 17, 1986
The attached schedule of fees reflects the staff's recommended increase
for 1987. Should you approve of these proposed changes, we will then
amend Ordinance, 1711, and those amendments would appear on your consent
agenda for the November 3, 1986, meeting.
Specifically, the changes that are being proposed are to cover.the City's
cost in performing the various activities noted.
Water rates (with the exception of the Morningside area and the east side of
Beard AVenue from West 54th Street to Fuller Street and both sides of Abbott
Place from 54th Street to Beard Avenue, which are hooked up to Minneapolis
water) were last raised in July of 1980. I am proposing to increase water
rates by 10% for anyone using City.of Edina water. The increase reflects
inflation that has occured since 1980.
Sewer rates were last increased in January of 1982. Since that time, the
Metropolitan Waste Control Commission has raised its collection and treatment
charges from $1,692,060.00 to $2,221,529.89, an increase of over 31 %. In 1985,
these charges amounted to over 55% of the total operating expenses for both
water and sewer. Due to the increase, I propose that the sewer rates charged
by the City of Edina be increased by 25 %.
In the future, in order to alleviate increases of this size, the staff will
investigate and if necessary propose increases on an annual basis.
The following is a comparison of the current proposed water rates and the
rates of two of our neighboring communities:

MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 22, 1986
TO: Kenneth Rosland
FROM: David A. Velde
SUBJECT: Food Handler Training
Over the last several months, the Health Department has
become increasingly concerned about the sanitary conditions of
the restaurants in Ldina.
Routine maintenance has been reduced, shortcuts in food
handling procedures have been implemented and the number of
restaurants with failing inspection scores have increased.
To respond to this general decline in food service quality
we have considered several options. One option would increase
the level of enforcement through the court system. This
alternative would provide harsh sanctions through court fines for
the restaurant but would provide little education.
Another alternative which has been considered is an
increased education effort provided by existing Health Department
staff. This option could result in an increase in knowledge and
awareness of potentially hazardous food handling procedures for
the food establishment operators. However, this would require an
additional time commitment by staff for the education of food
service personnel. The Health Department, at present staffing
levels, cannot afford to provide this training and still maintain
the desired inspection frequency.
A third approach would be to encourage voluntary
participation in the quality assurance programs which are offered
by Hennepin County and the Hospitality Institute of Technology
and Management in St. Paul. These programs offer a course in
safe food handling procedures and food operator certification.
Both courses offer recertification every two years to ensure the
operator is current with the latest developments in the food
industry.
To encourage participation in the quality assurance program,
the City of Edina could increase the license fee for the affected
restaurants by Fifty dollars ($50.00) per annum. If the licensed
food establishment employs a certified employee the license fee
would be reduced by $50.00. The certification would be
applicable to licensed facilities in the following categories:
Food Establishment; Take Out Facility; and Catering Food
Establishments.
The necessary Ordinance amendments are being prepared for
City Council adoption. Hopefully, the food service operators
will take this opportunity to advance their knowledge of proper
food handling procedures.

T0: Mayors, Manage s 'd Clerks
FROM: Donald A. Sla x utive Director
RE: Proposed policies and the policy adoption meeting
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the League of Minnesota Cities' 1987
Proposed City Policies and Priorities. Please consider them carefully and share
them with other officials in your city.
We are sending them out now, so you will have time to take formal action on them
at a council meeting prior to the League's Policy Adoption Meeting on November
20, 1986.
The Policy Adoption Meeting is in addition to the League's Legislative
Conference which will be held on March 10, 1987. The League Board requested the
change to boost participation in the policy adoption process and to give League
lobbyists more time to prepare legislation before the session begins.
_ The timing for policy adoption is only one of the changes in the process this
year. The other major change was to bring up policy issues at the League's
regional meetings so city officials could discuss the policies, offer comments,
and express their opinions. League staff then took this information back to the
policy committees for consideration.
This gave more city officials a chance to mold the policies during the early
stages of policy development. And, from the comments on the regional meeting
surveys, League members appreciated this opportunity.
Again, please study the enclosed policies, and plan to attend the Policy
Adoption Meeting on November 20, 1986 to vote on them. Remember, each city has
a vote at that meeting. The Policy Adoption Meeting will be at the
Sheraton - Midway Hotel in St. Paul, beginning at 10:00 am. (Registration opens
at 9:00 am -- See attached information for details.)

Proposed
City Policies
and Prl'*ol*tl*es
For distribution to all member cities.
All mayors, managers, and clerks receive a copy of the
proposed policies. Please share this document with your
councilmembers.
LMC Legislative Study Committees have developed these
policies and the LMC Legislative Committee is recommending
them to the membership. Each policy has an A, B, or C,
priority. An explanation of each level is in the Foreword.
Please review these proposed policies before the 1987 Policy
Adoption Meeting. City officials will adopt legislative
policies at that meeting on Thursday, November 20, 1986 at
the Sheraton - Midway, St. Paul.
League of
Minnesota Cities
" "�L,
Foreword
One of the most important purposes of the League of Minnesota Cities is to
serve as a vehicle through which cities can define common problems and develop
policies and proposals to solve them.
To accomplish this purpose, the League has a three -step process:
First, legislative study committees of city officials study the issues and
propose policies to address issues. They assign priorities according to
importance.
Second, the Leagues Legislative Committee reviews the policies and
priorities and makes any changes the comittee members deem necessary. The
Legislative Committee consists of the LMC Board of Directors and the chairs of
the legislative study committees.
Third, representatives of all member cities meet at the annual Policy
Adoption Meeting to adopt the policies. Amendments to the policies are possible
with a two - thirds majority of those voting on the issue.
The policy statements and legislative proposals in this publication are the
result of that process. They provide the LMC Board of Directors and staff with
guidance when testifying before legislative committees and taking other actions
with legislative or policy implications.
Priority designation of the policy is in parentheses at the end of the
policy title. The study committees developed the priorities and the Legislative
Committee reviewed them and, in some cases, modified them.
The priorities give additional guidance to the LMC Board and staff in
implementing the League's legislative program.
"A" priority indicates a major issue, where the League would introduce
legislation or would work actively with other groups to seek new laws and
regulations.
"B" priority indicates items that are important to cities but where the
League would probably spend substantially less time unless the Legislature or
other groups mounted a major effort to which LMC had to respond. While the
League might initiate legislation on B priority items, these would be relatively
non - controversial items, or those where most of the research has already been
completed.
"C" priority indicates items where the League would respond only when other
groups raise the issue.

DS -1. Tax Increment Financing (A)
The League recommends that tax increment financing remain available for
cities. Cities are willing to work with the Legislature to improve the program,
as well as correct any problems with tax increment financing.
Tax increment finance has permitted many cities in various parts of the
state to define and carry out rehabilitation, redevelopment, housing, and
economic development projects on their own initiative. It represents the most
feasible and effective legal strategy which is currently available to cities to
preserve and improve their physical and economic environment.
In view of the dramatic reductions in federal assistance for development
and housing, tax increment finance remains one of the few options available for
cities to promote growth and development in their cities.
The League opposes volume limits or penalities for municipal use of tax
increment finance. Should the Legislature decided that particular tax increment
finance practices should be modified, those practices should be dealt with
through specific proposals rather than the establishment of a volume limitation.
- 3-
DS -2. Economic Development Authorities (A)
The League supports legislation which would provide city economic
development authorities with the same power and authority as certain cities have
been granted in special port authority acts.
The League believes that it is unfair and unreasonable to grant greater
authority and power to some cities in the economic development field and
requests the following legislative changes accordingly:
1. Authorize all cities to designate economic development areas anywhere
within their jurisdiction, not as present law provides requiring that economic
development areas be continguous and meet the tax increment finance
redevelopment /blighted area test.
2. Authorize the issuance of debt with respect to project activities
within economic development districts without a referendum.
3. Authorize a separate levy of .75 mills for economic development
purposes.
4. Authorize the economic development authority to build buildings or
structures on land owned by the authority.
-4-
DS -3. Development Financing (A)
The League supports the continued use of industrial development bonds and
other tax - exempt instruments as development tools.
The following principles should apply to the allocation of tax - exempt
development authority:
1. A maximum of Minnesota tax - exempt development allocation authority being
retained by municipalities.
2. The maintenance of local discretion and flexibility in development
decisinns_
3. The minimization of state control of local development decisions.
Tax - exempt financing allows cities to undertake a diverse range of
activities to prevent economic deterioration, to attract new businesses and
jobs, to retain existing businesses and jobs, and to maintain and strengthen the
local tax base.
Pending federal tax legislation would substantially change the
applicability of tax - exempt development financing. Should the state become
involved in designing a new system appropriating tax - exempt bond authority to
cities, the League recommends that the above three principles apply, in general,
and that the League be centrally involved with the governor and the Legislature
in fashioning an equitable system.
-5-
DS -4. Housing (B)
The League of Minnesota Cities supports legislation that preserves and
improves the financing tools available to cities for the construction and
rehabilitation of housing.
Federal tax reform legislation as well as substantial cuts in HUD housing
programs have dealt a severe blow to many cities' housing efforts. State
legislation preserving existing tools such as tax exempt finance, interest rate
write down, and taxable options in tax increment and revenue bonding are more
important than ever. In addition, new legislation providing cities with new
resources must be considered. Cities recognize that incentives for the
construction and rehabilitation of housing form a vital part of city
redevelopment efforts and serve the housing needs of its citizens, especially
those of low and moderate incomes.
The League also supports new legislation which includes specialized
opportunities for small communities to participate in state housing and
development programs.
The League, in general, supports amendments to Chapter 462C necessary to
further assist cities in using housing revenue bond programs both as a
redevelopment tool and as a way to provide housing for low- and moderate - income
households.
As for the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA), program funds should be
targeted to cities in a manner consistent with local plans and programs. The
MHFA should continue to improve its procedure whereby representatives of a
diverse group of cities, chosen in consultation with the League, can participate
in targeting funds to cities.
am
DS -5. Economic Development Funds (B)
The League supports legislation authorizing cities to use general funds or
bond proceeds to establish funds for the promotion of economic development
activities within the city.
Recently cities have sought special legislation to establish special funds
intended to be used to promote economic growth within their communities. These
"capital seed funds ", are financed either through general fund monies or general
obligation bond proceeds. Cities have used them for the purposes of making
grants, loans, and other development activities.
-7-
DS -6. Municipal Service Districts (B)
The League supports legislation which would allow cities to create
municipal service districts. Cities should be allowed to finance the types of
improvements listed in M.S. 429.021 (relating to the construction, replacement,
and maintenance of such things as streets, sidewalks, gutters, storm and
sanitary sewers, waterworks systems, street lights, and public malls, parking,
or courtyards). Both service charges and ad valorem property taxes should be
available to. finance services or capital improvements in the district
Recent court decisions concerning special assessments have made it more
difficult for cities to use special assessments to finance public services and
improvements. The Minnesota Supreme Court has interpreted the state
Constitution to require not only that a special assessment project "specially
benefit" affected parcels of property, but also that the city be able to prove
that the market value of a property will increase in direct relation to the
amount of the special assessment applied to that property.
This interpretation has created particular problems for several important
city functions. First, it is more difficult to assess all (or even part) of a
capital improvement project to repair or replace, as opposed to newly built
improvements. This hinders cities from meeting the widely recognized need for
maintenance of the existing public infrastructure.
Second, cities' ability to finance annual operating and maintenance costs
of some services to property through the use of special service charges is
either unclear or non - existent under current law.
The only current financing alternative to special assessments or service
charges is the general property tax. But it may not be desirable to use the
general property tax to finance some capital or operating expenses. For
example, if a road is used almost exclusively by people living in one corner of
a city, it may be bad public policy to require the cost of replacing that road
to be borne by all the property in the city. This is especially true if the
property in the rest of the city has already been assessed for similar
improvements.
Or, if the central business district or mall of a city benefits from more
frequent snowplowing or street cleaning, better lighting, etc. it may not be
good policy to have all the city taxpayers share in those expenses.
S
DS -7. Community development Principles (C)
The League supports legislation which continues state assistance to cities
for community and economic development. The League encourages the Legislature
to appropriate funds for direct assistance to business for economic development.
As a matter of principle, the state should not encourage the use of such direct
assistance for the sole purpose of moving businesses from one Minnesota city to
another. Technical assistance should be furnished by the appropriate state
agencies to aid cities in promoting local development activities.
Minnesota cities have traditionally been responsible for their own economic
growth. During the '60s and '70s, cities promoted development through the use
of industrial revenue bonds, tax increment financing, and housing (or mortgage
revenue) bonds. Substantial federal grant programs supplemented local resources.
The economic realities of the 1980s require even greater efforts by cities
in community and economic development. As federal assistance disappears, cities
are forced to become more creative in the use and leveraging of available
resources.
In recent years, the state has assisted cities' development efforts through
legislation and agency- administered programs, including Minnesota Main Street,
Star Cities, Minnesota Housing Finance Agency loan programs, and small business
rehabilitation loan programs. State legislation must continue to provide
maximum flexibility for cities to carry out community development activities.
Additionally, the state must actively promote economic development through
direct assistance to businesses and more extensive technical assistance to
maximize cities' ability to leverage local, state, and federal resources.
Any proposed community and economic development legislation should respond
to the followine concerns:
1. Protection of cities' ability to finance capital improvements;
2. Management of economic growth to maximize cities' existing capital
investment;
3. Revitalization of cities reversing the trend of dispersion of population
and economic activity;
4. Recognition and allowance for the great differences between cities
regarding their stages of growth and development, demographics, and types of
economic activity within and adjacent to their borders; and
5. The Legislature should enable the Small Business Finance Agency to
package projects which are approved by local city councils into larger
industrial revenue bonds.
DS -8. Tax - Exempt Status of Land Held by Cities for Development (C)
The League supports granting unlimited tax - exempt status.to property held
by cities and their political subdivisions for later resale to promote economic
development.
Up until recently, almost all property owned by political subdivisions was
granted tax - exempt status. In 1979, the Legislature changed the law to provide
that property held by a political subdivision of the state for later resale for
economic development purposes would be considered a public purpose and therefore
tax - exempt for a maximum period of three years. In 1984, the Legislature
revised the statute, providing tax - exempt status for a period of eight years in
most situations and granting an exemption for an unlimited period of years if
the property is held for housing programs or is classified as "blighted land"
under state law.
The 1984 law provides, however, that the property will be taxable if the
property is acquired for economic development purposes, and building or other
improvements are constructed after acquisition of the property, and if more than
one -half of the floor space of the buildings or improvements available for lease
to or use by a private individual, corporation, or other entity is leased to or
otherwise used by a private individual, corporation, or other entity.
The overall intent of the statute is to create an incentive for political
subdivisions to engage in economic development activities as well as to promote
moving the property back onto the tax rolls. Unfortunately, it does not fully
recognize that the process of developing industrial and economic growth,
rehabilitating, or building housing may extend over a long period of time. The
uncertainty caused by the vague provision on improvements and leasing of
one -half of the property discourages cities from being active in establishing
and maintaining local development corporations, from retaining as much control
as possible over their economic development and planning process, and from being
selective as to the type of development which may occur in the city.
Cities have every incentive to get property back on the tax rolls as soon
as possible. Therefore, the League recommends that the provision concerning
one -half installation of improvements be deleted or at the very least clarified,
and that the eight -year limit on tax - exempt status be removed.
-10-
DS -9. Small Cities Community Block Grant Program (C)
The League supports the state's continued administration of the Small
Cities portion of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The
League also supports the continuation of the set - aside of federal funds for
economic development grants and augmented state appropriations to supplement the
federal funds set aside. The League discourages any legislative attempt to deal
statutorily with complex, specific program criteria that are best handled
administratively.
The Small Cities CDBG program should continue as a source of funding which
encourages cities to "develop viable communities by providing decent housing and
suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally
for purposes of low- and moderate - income," in compliance with congressional
intent. The state should maintain the CDBG program balance between cities'
economic development needs and the needs of low- and moderate - income people.
Cities should retain maximum flexibility in determining how to carry out CDBG
program objectives.

GSGL -1. Tort Liability and Insurance (A)
The League supports legislation reducing the exposure of cities to civil
lawsuits without unduly restrictinE an injured party from recovering
compensation from negligent individuals and supports actions enuring the
availability and affordability of insurance coverage for cities
While many debate whether there has been an "explosion," it is fairly well
established that the growth of tort litigation over the past several years has
resulted in increasing liability for governmental entities, private businesses,
and individual citizens. Additionally, business practices of insurance
companies have played a significant role in the recent insurance crisis. The
League supports reasonable reforms dealing with both sides of the liability
insurance issue.
The Municipal Tort Liability Act was enacted in 1963 to protect the public
treasury while giving the citizen relief from the arbitrary, confusing, and
administratively expensive prior doctrine of sovereign immunity with its
inconsistent and irrational distinctions between governmental and proprietary
activities. The,act has served that purpose well in the past. However, courts
frequently forget or ignore the positive benefits secured to citizens damaged by
public servants as a result of enactment of the comprehensive act which includes
some limitations on liability and some qualifications of normal tort claims
procedure.
The special vulnerability of far -flung government operations to
debilitating tort suits continues to require the existence of a tort claims act
applicable to local governments or local governments and the state. The need
for some type of limitations is evidenced by recent experiences with the
insurance market.
The 1986 Legislature responded to some of these concerns in enacting the
1986 Tort Reform Act, but the problems continue to exist and further action is
necessary. The League recommends the following changes in the tort liability
system:
1. The procurement of insurance should not constitute a waiver of any
limitation or immunity provided by law except the dollar limitations and in that
event the policy must expressly waive such limitation with specificity.
2. Punitive damages, intended to punish and deter egregious conduct, have
not been effective because the standards of applicability have been too vague.
The League does not oppose the total elimination of punitive damages, but would
prefer that the Legislature specify that punitive damages may be awarded only
when the conduct involved manifests malicious and flagrant indifference to
safety, and places monetary limits on such awards.
If however, the Legislature is unwilling to raise the standards for
punitive damages, it must address the concern of city officers and employees who
may be personally liable and cities should be given the option to either defend
and indemnify or not to defend and indemnify its officers or employees for
punitive damages claimed and levied against them. Such decisions must be made
by the city within a reasonable time after being served with a summons and
-14-
GSGL -1. Tort Liability and Insurance (cont'd) (A
complaint alleging conduct that may result in a punitive damage claim. The
decision of the city should be inadmissable in any trial in which the claim of
punitive damages is made.
3. The fault -based system of damage awards has apparently eroded. In
order to facilitate the return to a fault -based system, joint liability should
be abolished in cases where defendants have not acted in concert and a modified
comparative fault system should be used to evaluate the actions of other persons
involved with the injury and assess damages in proportion to the amount of each
person's fault. If however, the Legislature is unwilling to do this, it should
modify the 1986 legislative language dealing with joint liability to make it
apply to all defendants or establish a legislative rationale for having it apply
only to governmental entities.
4. In order to protect any enacted legislation from constitutional equal
protection challenge, the Legislature should establish rationales defining the
problem being addressed and the intent of the Legislature.
-15-
.
GSGL -Z. Open Meetings (A)
The League recommends that the Open Meeting Iaw be amended to conform to
the Data Practices Act.
City officials strongly support the basic premise of the Open Meeting
Law - -to assure the public's right to be informed about the conduct of public
business. Experience with this law since 1974, however, indicates clearly that
there are areas where the legislation should be amended in the public interest.
The League believes that there are certain specific instances where the public
interest would be better served by permitting a local governing body to meet in
executive or closed session.
These instances include certain discussions relating to employees such as
"hiring" interviews, discussions regarding the purchase or sale of land for a
public purpose, and discussions of information protected under the Data
Practices Act. These latter situations are particularly troublesome since it is
often necessary for the council to choose between violating either the Open
Meeting Law or the Data Practices Act.
Additionally, the League opposes any legislative attempt to alter the
recent court ruling that the Open Meeting I,aw applies only to meetings where a
quorum of the governing body or its established committees is present. The
ruling clarified the law which was often viewed as applying to any meeting
between two office holders. Limiting the application of the law to gatherings
of a quorum or more is a common sense approach to implementing the statute and
should not be altered.
-16-
GSGI. -3. Mandates (B)
The League opposes any additional mandates unless the Legislature provides
adequate revenue sources to implement the law.
One of the most serious problems facing cities is the growth in the number
and cost of federal and state- mandated programs which substitute the judgments
of Congress and the State Legislature for local budget priorities. Recent
examples of costly mandated programs include comparable worth, employee right to
know, legal compliance audits, and newspaper publications. Special bills to
address this problem on an ad hoc basis have-not provided a permanent or
statewide solution to these problems.
The League therefore supports the 1985 legislation which requires the state
to adopt a policy of deliberate restraint on its mandated programs, including
providing a mandatory fiscal note identifying local government costs on any new
mandated programs when they are introduced in the legislature and a statement of
compelling statewide interest to accompany all state mandates. The League
further supports the recently adopted Governor's Advisory Council on State and
Local Relations recommended guidelines for mandating for the legislative and
executive branches.
Revenues or alternative revenue producing mechanisms, other than the
general property tax subject to levy limits, must accompany new mandates. Also,
the Legislature should repeal obsolete, unnecessary, and unduly restrictive
mandatory laws and rules.

CSGL -5. Purchasing Authority of Plan B Managers (B)
The League supports changing the purchasing authority of city managers in
Plan B cities from $1,000 to conform to the figures in the Uniform Municipal
Contracting Law.
Currently the law allows Plan B city managers to make purchases under
$1,000 without council approval. This provision has not been changed for many
years and inflation has seriously eroded the utility of the provision. The law
should be amended to increase the figure to the dollar amounts in the Uniform
Municipal Contracting Law which allows purchases under $15,000 to be made
relatively easily.
GSGL -6. Towing of Abandoned Vehicles (B)
The League supports legislation clarifying the authority of cities to
impound abandoned motor vehicles.
Recently, the Legislature passed Minnesota Statutes 465.75 which prohibits
a private vehicle tower from removing a motor vehicle from private property
unless he has the permission of the owner of the vehicle or of the owner of the
property. While the intent of this statute to prohibit hawkish towing companies
from improper towing practices is laudable, the ramifications of the law go too
far.
Cities are authorized to impound abandoned motor vehicles and Minnesota
Statutes 168B.04 provides a detailed process to accomplish the removal of
health hazards and eyesores. Unfortunately, the recent legislative act could be
construed to prohibit cities from utilizing private towers to remove and impound
abandoned or junked automobiles.
Cities could be forced to use its own employees and equipment because it is
not "in the business of towing." The law should be amended by adding an
exclusion for private towers who act at the direction of a city following the
procedures prescribed in Minnesota law.
-19-
GSGL -7. State Licensing of Contractors (B)
The League opposes the state's takeover of trade contractor licensing.
Licensing of general trade contractors and various other activities has
long been a local prerogative, and the mechanism for license review, issuance,
and enforcement is already in place. The primary reason that local licensing
has been successful and therefore maintained at the local level is that
inspection and enforcement personnel reside at the local level, know the area
and activities, and are familiar with local ordinance and restrictions, thus
providing better and faster enforcement.
Suggestions have been made to form a statewide licensing authority and
split the revenue among the licensing agency and various municipalities with the
cities maintaining enforcement tasks. It is questionable under this arrangement
if either the agency or municipalities would have enough funds to accomplish the
respective tasks. The current proposals seem to overly complicate the existing
system which is effectively regulating the contractors and may result in a
reduction of small contractors who operate in only a limited number of
communities.
GSGL -8. State Audits and City Financial Reporting Requirements (B)
The League supports continuation of the existing auditing and financial
reporting requirements for cities.
Minnesota has one of the most modern and rigorous systems of oversight of
municipal finances in the nation. The state auditor currently reviews annual
financial reports of cities. Cities over 2,500 must have annual audits and the
state auditor has the authority to audit a city upon receipt of a petition.
There is no need to require cities under 2,500 to follow more rigorous
accounting requirements than presently exist or to have annual audits.
Additionally, the state auditor should not be given the power or
responsibility to audit local governments or their instrumentalities. The
League supports requirements that provide copies of local audits be sent to the
state auditor on a regular basis. The private sector is fully competent to
conduct governmental audits and may be more economical and practical than a
state agency.
-20-
CSGL -9. Government Training Service Funding (B)
The League supports continued state financial funding for the Government
Training Service.
The Government Training Service (GTS) has been invaluable in maximizing
training opportunities while minimizing training costs for local government
officials and staff over the past ten years. Both the need and the demand for
.services are greater than ever during these times of tight budgets.
GTS continues to respond on behalf of all local jurisdictions in Minnesota
by developing innovative, low -cost alternatives and exploring cost - effective
delivery systems. The Legislature should continue state financial support for
GTS.
GSGL -10. Charitable Gambling Enforcement Fees (B)
The League supports legislation modifying the charitable gambling statute
to provide local units with a share of the annual state permit fees and a
portion of the tax proceeds to reimburse local units for enforcement costs.
Since the establishment of the State Charitable Gambling Control Board and
liberalization of the charitable gambling permitted within various
establishments, there has been.a significant increase in local enforcement needs
and costs, while the main source of funding these costs, the local license fee,
has been precluded by state action from being used. The 1986 legislation
authorizing an investigation fee does not raise sufficient revenues to
compensate cities for costs of enforcement.
GSGL -11. Joint Powers Act (B)
The League supports efforts to study the current Minnesota Joint Powers Act
and recommends that the Legislature refrain from enacting any major changes to
the act prior to completion of such a study.
In conducting a review of the current act the League urges the Governor's
Advisory Council on State -Local Relations or the Legislature to consider the
policy behind establishing such boards and the need to encourage cooperation
between governmental units. The main goal of the study should be to encourage
the use and establishment of joint power boards.
-21-
GSGL -12. Cable Communications (B
The League supports continuation of the existing Minnesota Statutes Chapter
238.
Cities in Minnesota enjoy among the most modern and technically sound cable
communications systems in the world due to strong partnerships and commitments
among cable operators and federal, state, and local governments. These
relationships are defined at the federal level by the Cable Communications
Policy Act of 1984, at the state level by Minnesota Statutes Chapter 238, and at
the local level by local cable franchise ordinances.
In 1985, the Minnesota Legislature abolished the Minnesota Cable
Communications Board, an appointed body of the Department of Administration
which promulgated and enforced Minnesota Statutes Chapter 238 and its
accompanying rules. This legislation codified some previously existing board
rules into statutory form and reassigned responsibility for the enforcement of
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 238 from the board to the commissioner of commerce.
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 238, in its present form, is very important to
local governments because it protects cities rights to enforce local standards
and cable operator commitments for technical, construction, and programming
performance.
No changes should be made to Minnesota Statues Chapter 238 until a thorough
and cooperative effort involving local and state government and cable operators,
is completed. Such an effort should include analysis of present federal and
state law and contemporaneous judicial and business environments.
GSGL -13. Conflict of Interest/Incompatibility of Offices (B)
The League supports legislation that clarifies state law as it relates to
official conflict of interest and incompatible offices.
City and other local government officials have expressed concern over the
confusing law dealing with official conflicts of interest. The law is written
in such a way that applying it to situations involving both contractual and
non - contractual conflict of interest has caused numerous problems. Therefore,
the League supports amendments clarifying this area of the law.
-22-
CSGL -14. Absentee Balloting (B)
The League supports legislation to clarify absentee voting ballot
requirements to assure that all ballots are available according to statutory
requirements.
The League supports the use of punch card voting devices for absentee
balloting in health care facilities and mailed absentee ballots.
Currently, the law allows the use of punch card devices for absentee
balloting when a voter applies in person to the city clerk or county auditor for
an absentee ballot. The League recommends that the law be expanded to include
use of punch card devices for all absentee balloting, including mailed ballots
and absentee balloting in health care facilities.
School districts ballots are not available the 30 days in advance as
required by law due to their filing dates. Filing dates should be changed in
order to comply with the Minnesota election law.
' GSGL -15. Precinct Boundary Changes (B)
The League supports legislation to provide a more orderly way in which to
deal with redistricting after a legislative reapportionment plan is filed.
.Current law requires counties to redistrict county commissioner districts
within 180 days after receiving final census figures. Cities are not permitted
to change precinct boundaries during a five year period ending January 1 in a
year ending in two. Therefore, counties following city ward and precinct lines
use old boundaries, which in many cases will need to be changed before the 1992
elections.
-23-
GSGL -16. Uniform Local Government Election Da (B)
The League opposes the designation of a uniform local government election
day. -
Home rule charter cities currently have the authority through their
charters to designate when they want to hold their local elections. Statutory
cities may establish either an odd or even year November election date.
Decisions affecting only local units of government should be made at the
local level unless an overriding state interest can be demonstrated. The League
believes that there is no statewide necessity to provide for a uniform local
government election day. However, if the Legislature enacts a uniform local
government election day, the following features must be included:
1. Home rule charter cities should retain the option of setting their own
election date.
2. Municipal primary elections should continue to be optional.
3. All. direct costs of state - mandated changes and additions to present city
election duties should be paid by the state.

The League supports legislation which would simplify the election process
so that it would encourage rather than discourage candidates for local office.
1. Distinctions between types of campaign committees and reporting
requirements should be eliminated.
2. The League opposes any state- mandated requirement of candidates for city
office to file statements of economic interest.
3. The League opposes campaign contribution limits or reporting
requirements in cities less than 20,000 population.
4. To the extent permitted by the state and federal Constitutions,
individuals who actively seek to influence the nomination, election, or defeat
of a candidate or ballot question through the expenditure of their personal
funds, or funds they solicit, should be required to make reports to the same
extent as corporations, associations, or persons working together.
GSGL -18. Voting Equipment (B)
The League supports present law which allows a city the option of selecting
which state - approved equipment it determines will. best suit its needs and
opposes any state- mandated system of voting equipment.
-25-
GSGL -19. Election Day Registration and Administrative Improvements (B)
The League supports voter registration prior to election day and encourages
legislation to improve the current system of voter registration.
The following steps would improve the current system:
1. Election day registration and voting should be permitted, but not
mandated, to take place in adjacent rooms.
2. Require public entities to make available facilities for polling places.
3. Certain penalties for election day infractions are so severe that they
constitute a barrier to effective enforcement of the law. The League recommends
that the laws be reviewed and modified where necessary so that the laws can be
effectively enforced.
4. The League encourages the promotion of pre - election day registration
through the media and all other available means.
5. Permitting election judges to sign ballots prior to sending out absentee
ballots.
6. Write -in candidates with less than five percent of the total vote cast
would need not be listed on election returns.
7. Require the use of county registration systems at school district
elections when held in conjunction with state or municipal elections and to
follow state and municipal election laws.
GSGL -20. Optional Poll Hours (C)
The League opposes current law that mandates all cities, regardless of
their size, to have their polls open 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. for state elections.
Prior to 1983, cities under 1,000 population located outside the
metropolitan area could by resolution fix the poll hours no later than 9:00 a.m.
for a state general election and no later than 5:OO p.m. for a state primary.
This flexibility would reduce costs to very small cities.
The League also supports legislation for municipalities to set their
polling hours by referendum.
-26-
GSGL -21. City Election Campaigns (C)
The League supports extending income tax credits or deductions for
contributions to city election campaigns.
Candidates should be encouraged to seek broader backing from among
constituents. Extending income tax credits or permitting deductions by using
criteria for state deductions should be permitted for city election campaigns.
GSGL -22. Primary Dates (C)
If the Legislature enacts a change in the primary date, the law should
provide that the filing dates for municipal and school district offices should
close no less than 45 days prior to an election to provide ample time to prepare
and distribute absentee ballots.
1. Filing dates for municipal and school district offices should close no
less than 45 days prior to municipal or school district elections to provide
ample time to prepare and distribute absentee ballots.
2. Changes in the primary dates should consider that filing dates for
state and municipal elections should be as uniform as practical.

LUEET -1. Wastewater Treatment. (A)
The League supports increased state and federal assistance, and alternative
programs, which provide financing for wastewater treatment construction
projects.
Clean water is vitally important to the citizens of this country and
particularly to residents and visitors of Minnesota. Minnesota's cities remain
committed to improving water quality. Unfortunately, the costs involved in
providing cleaner water are staggering. Because of the incredible cost, it must
be recognized that it is economically impractical to immediately eliminate
wastewater pollution. Therefore, all levels of government must take a
reasonably balanced approach to solving the wastewater pollution problem.
The ability of cities to comply with any clean water program must be
recognized as contingent upon the availability of adequate funds for treatment
facilities. Since 1978, federal funding for the wastewater treatment
construction grant program has been cut in half. Additionally, the federal
share of construction grants dropped from 75 to 55 percent in fiscal year 1985.
The same budget constraints facing the federal government exist at the state and
local level but to a greater degree due to a limited income base.
It is unfair to those city residents who in the past have contributed their
federal tax dollars to projects in other locations to be faced with a tripling
of the local share for a project in their area. For this reason, if the federal
government does not return the federal share for rehabilitation, repair,
upgrading, and new construction of treatment facilities to 75 percent, the state
should be the level of government to bear the increased burden. Alternatives to
grant programs, such as revolving loan funds are acceptable financing
alternatives to the extent that grant programs are not sufficiently funded and
the loan program is supplementary to, and not a replacement for, grant programs.
Any loan program should take into consideration varying local financial
capabilities.
The League commends the Legislature for the enactment in 1984 of a separate
state grants program and 1985 legislation which increased overall state
financing assistance in certain circumstances. Increased revenues are needed
for this program and the League opposes any reduction in the amount of the
cigarette tax dedicated to wastewater treatment funding. The Legislature should
increase state - provided financing assistance through a general fund
appropriation, state bond proceeds, or other appropriate sources.
The League recommends that the Legislature establish an expanded
reimbursable grant program using up to one -half of the funds currently
appropriated to wastewater treatment. This program, to be offered to
communities on a totally voluntary basis, should seek to encourage immediate
construction with minimal prior review by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
and provide reimbursement to communities on the basis of proven performance in
reducing pollutants in wastewater effluent. The program should be structured to
the extent practical to avoid discouraging privatization and innovative
treatment methods.
-30-
LUEET -1. Wastewater Treatment (cont'd) (A)
The League supports a full review by the Legislature of proposed water
quality permit fees and opposes the imposition of these fees on local units of
government to the extent that they only serve as an alternative means for the
state to raise revenue. If fees are determined to be properly imposed on
governmental units, the fees should be based solely on the cost of actually
providing governmental services to the political subdivision and private sector
alternatives should be made available to ensure minimal costs to local
taxpayers. The League, however, does not oppose financing mechanisms which seek
to equalize past grants with present or future grant programs.
It is inequitable and the League opposes efforts by either the state or
federal governments to institute enforcement actions or impose increased fees or
charges against communities for failure to meet effluent standards while at the
same time assigning these communities a low priority on the needs list for state
and federal funding.
-31-
LUEET -2. Land Use, Planning, and Annexation. (A)
The League supports a recodificatiou of the existing planning enabling
statutes to the extent that the proposals do not restrict local governments'
current flexibility to address either procedural or substantive unique
circumstances.
In conducting a review of any proposal affecting land use, planning,
development, or annexation; the League urges the Governor's Council on State
Local Relations or the Legislature to consider that public policies which
encourage substantial development in non -urban areas and which extend public
services beyond existing jurisdictions and service areas are wasteful and
counter - productive. Additionally, it should be accepted by all that prime
agricultural land is a major natural and economic resource and any state land
use strategy must include as a major objective the preservation of prime
agricultural land.
Particular attention should given to the problem of development and the
delivery of governmental services to urbanizing fringe areas. Recommendations
and proposals for statutory change should be presented to the 1987 Legislature.
Pending these recommendations, the League urges the Legislature to refrain from
amending the state's planning and annexation statutes in any way in the 1987
session.
State law should continue to encourage the preservation of prime
agricultural land and discourage the development of such land outside designated
growth areas to be served by a city. The state should also encourage local
governments to adopt agricultural preservation policies and ordinances.
It must also be considered that, even if these steps are taken, a great
deal of development will still occur in the fringe areas surrounding cities.
The League recommends as a long -term goal that state statutes regulating
annexation be changed to make it easier for cities to annex this developed or
developing land, in order to insure the integrity of our governmental systems.
It is unfair to city residents to have individuals avoid paying their fair share
for municipal services provided by the city government by living in the fringe
area around a city.
-32-
LUEET -3. Solid and Hazardous Waste Management (B)
The League supports state programs designed to minimize or eliminate the
need to landfill solid and hazardous waste.
The problem of regulating, controlling, and disposing of solid and
hazardous waste will be one of the major environmental issues of the next
decade, both nationally and locally. Major state legislation addressing this
issue has been enacted annually since 1980. These acts responded to the
concerns and issues raised by the League and local government and we commend the
Legislature for its actions.
The existing waste management and control system fur the handling and
disposal of hazardous materials centralizes responsibility at the state level
but requires the cooperation and support of all levels of government. The
system established for solid waste is more diffuse, relying on cities to control
and regulate collection, counties to regulate or operate existing landfills, and
the state to coordinate responsibilities and plan for future disposal needs.
Both systems have been designed to foster and encourage abatement, recycling,
and resource recovery for as much of the waste stream as possible and then to
assure environmentally sound disposal for the remaining waste.
The system has not been entirely implemented as yet, but it appears to be
working and therefore the League does not perceive a need for major changes to
existing legislation at the present time, but any future legislation that may be
considered should enhance and not diminish the emphasis on these concerns:
1. Effective Planning. To the greatest extent possible, all levels and
units of government and the private sector should be involved in all phases of
planning and managing the solid and hazardous waste streams to assure a
cost - efficient and environmentally sound solid waste and hazardous waste
disposal system.
2. Alternatives to Landfills. The League strongly endorses abatement,,
recycling, and resource recovery activities and programs to reduce the need for
the land disposal of waste. The goal should be to reduce to the maximum extent
practical the need for land disposal of unprocessed solid waste, and to totally
avoid the land disposal of hazardous waste.
The League would support the eventual prohibition of disposal of
unprocessed solid waste in landfills as cost - efficient alternatives are
developed and funding is provided to cities to implement their responsibilities
in a revised solid waste management system. A tax on solid waste deposited in
landfills would be supported by the League it the funds derived from the tax
would be used to establish a fund to pay for post - closure costs of landfills and
to finance recycling and abatement programs in the political jurisdiction where
the tax is derived.
In order to make local waste programs viable, a process for regulating the
flow of solid waste must be available to provide a sufficient source of waste
for any recovery program or facility. The League also supports the concept that
producers of solid waste should pay the true and full costs of solid waste
disposal and commends the Legislature for its forward looking initiatives during
-33-
LUEET -3. Solid and Hazardous Waste Management (cont'd) (B)
the 1984 session in which a three - tiered system of fees on land- disposed solid
waste was established with the intent of establishing a fee structure based on
the type of waste disposed of in landfills. The Legislature should continue to
fund educational efforts on the subject of solid and hazardous waste disposal.,
including alternatives for-the disposal of household hazardous waste.
3. Compensation and Incentives for Communities. Waste disposal facilities
have many undesirable impacts on "host" communities, and compensation for all
direct and indirect costs incurred by the community should be provided. Direct
costs include such things as fire protection, water and sewer services, buffer
zone design and amenities, and litter clean-up,-while indirect costs include
such items as road maintenance, monitoring costs, end -use planning, and city
administrative costs associated with the facility. The current authority for
landfill host communities to impose a fee on waste deposited in the landfill
should not be reduced.
4. Funding for Environmental, Personal, and Property Damages. Recent
studies have indicated that most, if not all, landfills eventually cause
groundwater contamination problems. It is largely undetermined at this point
what the eventual impacts will be, and in contemplation of this, the League
supports a surtax on solid waste going into landfills which will go into a fund
dedicated to compensate people or communities injured or damaged by adverse
environmental incidents caused by environmental contamination, including real or
personal property damage, personal injuries, clean -up activities, and
alternative water supplies.
5. Clean -up of Hazardous Substance Locations. The clean -up and
decontamination of existing hazardous waste sites should continue before there
is further damage to public health and environment. If a responsible party can
be identified, that party should be liable for clean -up costs and personal
injury damages as defined in law. If a responsible party cannot be identified,
then the clean -up should be financed by*the state superfund.
6. Condemnation Awards. The League supports legislation ensuring that
condemnation awards to compensate for a taking of polluted land are adjusted to
accurately reflect the fair market value of the land in its polluted condition
rather than its fair market value after pollutants are removed by the acquiring
authority.
-34-
LUEET -4. Transportation (B)
The League supports jurisdictional reassignment of roads based on
functional classification but opposes any program for turnbacks that does not
provide a corresponding source or mechanism of funding these roads.
An efficient transportation system is a vital element in planning for the
fiscal, economic, and social development at state, regional, and local levels.
Since the agricultural and recreational economy of the state and its cities are
dependent upon highway transportation, it is necessary to determine the
long -range highway needs to assure the vitality of the state's economy.
Furthermore, environmental concerns and the need to conserve energy require
that alternate modes of transportation be utilized in meeting the diverse needs
which exist in various communities and regions of the state. In order to
provide a more adequate state governmental structure and funding mechanism for
transportation system planning and development, the League recommends that the
following changes be made:
1. Turnbacks. The State Highway Study Commission has been studying the
possibility of reclassifying many roadways in the state as to appropriate use
classifications and jurisdiction. The increased cost for cities to assume
responsibility for general maintenance and life cycle treatment far exceeds the
current financial capacities of cities. For this reason, no wholesale program
of highway turnbacks should be instituted at this time.
Instead, existing mechanisms for the orderly turnback of roads should be
fine tuned, including increasing the level of funding in the municipal turnback
account, and prohibiting unilateral revocations or turnbacks by road authorities
unless a hearing is held and the road is brought up to its normal maintenance
standards before the revocation is effective.
Other changes needed to facilitate turnbacks include:
a) State aid rules should be changed to allow counties to upgrade county
state aid highways using c.s.a.h. funds prior to turnback with city concurrence
and without penalty as currently imposed by the rules;
b) The League supports use of a portion of the highway motor vehicle excise
tax to provide an adequate source for turnback funds, and;
c) The League supports allowing cities to determine if a turnback road will
be designated as a state -aid road or local street and if the city chooses to
designate the road as a state -aid road this designation should not affect the
standard designation process so that developing cities will be able to continue
to designate a percentage of new road growth as part of the state -aid system.
2. An adequate level of highway user funds should be maintained so that
highway maintenance and reconstruction may be continued, and adequate funds be
available for the state -aid street program.
3. The League supports the continued dedication of the sales tax on motor
vehicle sales for transportation purposes, and advocates the prompt transfer of
the motor vehicle excise tax into the highway user and transit assistance fund.
-35-
LUEET -4. Transportation (cont'd) (B)
The Legislature has recently taken appropriate steps in this direction by
increasing license fees and the gasoline tax to maintain this fund. Efforts
should be made to eliminate any inequities in the motor vehicle license fee
schedules and other vehicle taxes.
The League supports legislative efforts to establish a system of direct
appropriations to cities under 5,000 out of the 29 percent county share of the
highway user funds at least to the extent that townships receive direct
appropriations, as well as mandatory state guidelines concerning county use of
these funds to ensure that all communities within a county receive an equitable
share of these funds. Further, the state should establish minimum county
funding participation requirements for projects.
4. The special state bonding program should be continued to provide funds
for counties, towns, and cities for the replacement or repair of bridges.
5. Mass transit funding should remain a priority for the state. Funding for
the existing level of operation for mass transit should be maintained at a fixed
share formula for local governments.
6. The Legislature should continue the Minnesota Department of
Transportation as the ride -share program coordinating agency and to provide
adequate funding for its continuation.
7. The possibility and feasibility of utilizing existing railroad trackage
as part of a fixed guideway and /or light rail mass transit system should be
addressed. If existing railroad trackage /rights -of -way are petitioned for
abandonment, these or portions thereof should be preserved by appropriate
government agencies through alternate public use until rail systems once again
become economically feasible or needed because of energy considerations.
8. The Legislature should restore the bikeway grants program in order to
promote safety in a growing recreational activity.
9. The League opposes legislation allowing truck tractor and trailer
combinations of up to 110 feet on Minnesota highways due to the public entity
and infrastructure cost problems caused by these trucks, such as off tracking of
rear wheels, acceleration distance needs, and time and distance required for
passing.
-36-
LUEET -5. Ground and Surface Water Management (B)
The League supports 1985 legislation establishing a framework and providing
incentives for local governments to adopt programs or plans aimed at conserving
Minnesota's ground and surface waters and recommends that the Legislature not
substantively amend these statutes in the 1987 session.
In order to safeguard the public health and the environment it is necessary
to plan and manage our water resources as a valuable state resource. Many
watershed districts, counties, cities, and towns have done a good job of dealing
with surface and groundwater management issues and have the authority and
ability to continue to do so in a cost - effective manner. These existing
mechanisms should continue to be used to the greatest extent possible to address
surface and groundwater management problems instead of establishing a new system
or creating new organizations.
Local units of government should retain the basic responsibility for
surface water management as they are the level of government closest to the
problem. In 1982, legislation required local governments in the metropolitan
area to adopt surface water run -off controls and regulations; 1985 legislation
encourages similar steps to be taken in the non - metropolitan area of the state.
These statutes should be given sufficient time to work before additional
programs or extensive changes to existing programs are enacted by the
Legislature. The possibility of intergovernmental conflict should be studied
and dispute resolution mechanisms should be reevaluated.
The Legislature should provide funds to further encourage counties to
undertake water planning activities, and these state funds should be made
available to cities that are required to make substantial amendments to local
plans and controls, or that are employed to assist the county in preparation of
the comprehensive water plan. Special levies should also be made available to
fund water management projects.
-37-
LUEET -6. Regulation of Pesticides and Other Chemicals (B)
The League supports legislation requiring local consent prior to state
licensing of agricultural chemical storage and distribution centers and enabling
local units of government to regulate the intra -city transportation, storage,
and application of pesticides and other chemicals.
Under current law, the Department of Agriculture is required to regulate
the use and storage of agricultural chemicals pre - empting any local regulation
in this area. This pre - emption of local control has caused the granting of
licenses by the state for operations which are a threat to the public health and
safety of local communities.
Therefore, the Department of Agriculture should be required to obtain local
consent prior to the licensing of any agricultural chemical storage or
distribution center. Also, if the local government unit decides to regulate
agricultural chemicals, state regulation should supplement, not pre -empt such
regulation.
The League encourages tighter regulation of agricultural chemical run -off
from aerial spraying and ground application that may affect water quality, as
well as research into the long -term effects of the use of agricultural chemicals
on the general population.
-38-
LUEET -7. Eminent Domain Law (C)
The League recommends that the Legislature undertake a thorough study of
the eminent domain statutes.
The League believes the entire eminent domain process should be critically
reviewed and streamlined. This examination should include a re- evaluation of
the advisability of an alternative system of review of condemnation awards, for
example a professional referee, a hearing examiner, etc. rather than a court;
using a professional referee in lieu of three commissioners to establish the
value of the land; the public purposes for which the law may be used, including
its use to encourage economic development; the difficulty posed by the existence
of pollution on the condemned property; and the legality and feasibility of
collecting past property taxes on property in instances where the award is
substantially in excess of the market value of the property for tax purposes.
-39-
LUEET -8. Energy Conservation and Production (C)
The League supports legislation providing incentives for energy
conservation and production in both the public and private sectors.
Overall energy conservation strategies involving the public, private,
commercial, and industrial sectors are being developed by cities based on the
rationale that conservation efforts achieve the greatest energy savings at the
lowest cost.
The League believes that a city's individual energy conservation strategy
can be accomplished if the Legislature permits or establishes some of the
following measures:
1. Retrofit of Local Government Buildings. Local governments and school
districts operate nearly 8,000 buildings in Minnesota. Possible energy savings
in this sector range from 16 to 67 percent of current energy consumption by
implementing operation maintenance changes and capital improvements programs.
The League recommends support of the use of special levies to local
governments for implementation of energy conservation measures, including
building energy audits. This special levy could be designed to complement 1983
legislation authorizing 10 -year installment payment contracts for capital
equipment or services intended to improve the energy efficiency of municipally
owned buildings. It would also supplement the existing special - purpose capital
expenditure levy law available now only to school districts.
2. District Heating. To promote statewide applications of district
heating technology and to allow communities to make most efficient use of the
State District Heating Bond Program, the League recommends the following:
a) The Legislature should provide additional funds or the ability to
special levy for conducting district heating feasibility studies at the
community level;
b) The Legislature should strongly encourage consideration of district
heating potential in the power plant siting process.
c) The Legislature should continue to allow use of the State District
Heating Bond Program for renovation of existing district heating systems.
d) Repayment of state bond issues would follow repayment of local
obligations.
3. Low and Moderate Income Energy Assistance. Rising energy costs will
continue to place a burden on the economic vitality of communities in Minnesota.
The League recommends:
a) continuation of the fuel assistance program for low- income households,
with expanded services to train recipients in energy conservation practices and
with a requirement of recipient participation in weatherization programs if the
recipient is the owner;
b) support for weatherization programs operated through cities, counties,
and CAP agencies, and;
-40-
LUEET -8. Energy Conservation and Production (cont'd) (C)
c) continued support for the Minnesota Housing and Finance Agency's loan
and grant program for home weatherization.
4. Conservation and Renewable Energy Financing. Declining federal support
for implementing conservation and renewable resource projects will place a
significant burden on local government attempts to maintain vital services to
their residents and promote community development.
The League recommends that cities be allowed to bond and to make a special
levy for energy conservation and renewable resource projects. The Legislature
should also continue to encourage private sector conservation through tax
credits and other incentives and should explore the possibility of expanding
incentives for earth - sheltered, super - insulated, and underground development.
5. Local Regulatory Authority. Local gv vc i-_ G Ltj OLG lL llC L UCJI FUSI

to assess local needs and regulate energy consumption within their communities.
The League recommends giving any municipality the option to adopt and enforce an
energy code that may be more stringent than the state building code for purposes
of energy conservation.

PPS -l. Veterans' Preference (A)
1. The League recommends that the Legislature amend the Veterans'
Preference ^.ct to provide that a veteran must select one and only one hearing
procedure rather than be able to request both a veterans' preference hearing and
a grievance procedure under a collective bargaining agreement.
Current statutes entitle a veteran to at least two different hearing
procedures to challenge any disciplinary action. This is not only grossly
inefficient but may also be unworkable since the standards for court review of
the decisions of veterans' preference boards and grievance arbitrators vary
significantly.
The Minnesota Supreme Court in a recent decision also has indicated to the
Legislature that these statutes need to be amended. The law should provide for
a selection of a single hearing procedure and eliminate any requirement for
salary payment pending the hearing when the veteran does not request a hearing
within 10 days or when an impartial hearing body determines that the dismissal
was for just cause.
2. The League supports legislation providing specific time lines to be
followed by employers and employees in the veterans' preference discipline or
dismissal process, so that an employee must provide notice of their intent to
appeal within 14 days and the hearing process would be required to be completed
no later than 90 days following a proposed disciplinary or dismissal action.
Currently an employee has 60 days from the date of the employer's notice to
discipline or dismiss to request a hearing and if a hearing is requested, there
are no time lines for holding hearings or rendering decisions.
Under this current system, a termination determination can, and has, taken
more than a year, during which the employee receives full pay and benefits. The
result is extremely costly to cities, particularly small cities, which often
must hire replacement workers for this period. The League's proposal to provide
a more expedited process would not infringe on the employee's right to a
hearing, but would ensure a more efficient and cost- effective procedure.
-44-
. a
PPS -2. Minnesota Public Employment Labor Relations Act (PELRA) (A)
1. The League recommends that legislation be enacted that gives public
employers the option of either requesting arbitration within a specific time or
allowing essential employees to legally strike.
Cities in Minnesota are very diverse in their public employment practices.
Their ability to deal with employee strikes also varies greatly. The history of
bargaining in the public sector has indicated that if properly prepared for,
even strikes by "essential employees" may not unduly threaten public health and
safety. In contrast, the prohibition of the right to strike has forced undue
reliance on arbitration, which usually has resulted in large compensation awards
to essential employees.
For these reasons, the League recommends that legislation be enacted that
gives public employers the option of either requesting arbitration within a
specific time or allowing essential employees to legally strike.
2. The League recommends that the Legislature reinstate the previous
definition of employees covered by PELRA to persons employed for more than 100
days.
The 1983 Legislature) reduced the period of time part -time employees must be
employed before they are considered employees covered by PELRA. This has
resulted in higher wages for some part -time employees but, more significantly,
has resulted in cities hiring fewer part -time employees. Additionally, many
employees who view their work as temporary or transitory in nature, have been
asked to pay their fair share of union dues, even though they receive' no benefit
from union membership.
Experience with the law over the last two years has indicated general
dissatisfaction with the law by every affected party except unions representing
primarily full -time employees.
3. The League opposes any changes in PELRA which would permit public
employees to refuse to cross the picket lines of other city employees, or would
change the definition of supervisory or confidential employees.
Supervisors of public employees should have their management role
acknowledged and continue to have their status limited to meet and confer. In no
event should supervisory or confidential employees be represented by an employee
organization which represents the employees they supervise. Further limitation
of the definition of supervisory personnel would mean that in all but city
manager cities, no employees could be considered to be supervisory employees for
purposes of PELRA.
4. The League recommends that legislation be passed requiring employees
covered under a collective bargaining agreement to choose a single method by
which to review disciplinary action.
Employees presently have a variety of grievance procedures available to
them, including civil service systems, veterans' preference, and procedures
agreed to under collective bargaining. It makes little sense for an employee to
-45-
PPS -3. Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) -- Benefits, Financing,
and Administration (B)
The following principles should govern any changes the Legislature makes in
Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) and the other statewide pension
plans.
1. The League of Minnesota Cities opposes modification of the "high five"
formula. The adoption in 1973 of the "high five year" benefit formula for PERA
has provided very adequate pension benefits for career municipal employees.
Further shortening of the averaging period would create windfalls for some PERA
members and multiply opportunities for manipulation of service and salaries to
maximize pension benefits without proportional contributions to the fund.
2. Any increases in PERA benefits should be granted only to the extent that
proposed contributions and current reserves are sufficient to fully fund the
increases in the opinion of one or more recognized pension actuaries who are
independent of the PERA organization. Any benefit increase or contribution
reductions permitted by excess reserves or excessive current contributions or
combinations of the two should be of such amounts as to benefit the employer and
employee equally as a percentage of overall employee salary.
3. PERA should not be authorized to create any additional health care
plans for retired employees. However, direct transfer of premiums from PERA to
the Minnesota Comprehensive Health Association should be authorized at the
request of any PERA member from the member's own account.
The present PERA retirement system in effect provides a cafeteria plan
approach to retirement benefits. Those who need a spousal retirement annuity or
life insurance coverage can purchase these benefits from PERA accepting
actuarially reduced primary retirement benefits. Retirees who are not eligible
to remain in the group health insurance plan of the local unit from which they
are retiring, can always use their retirement funds to the extent they are
adequate to buy health coverage through the Minnesota Comprehensive Health
Association for persons that are 65 years of age and less. Persons 65 and over
without automatic medicare coverage can buy that coverage at reasonable cost.
4. If any increase in benefits is enacted for PERA retirees, the resulting
costs should not be paid from the PERA fund, but rather should be financed by a
direct appropriation from the state general fund.
5. The LMC supports the continuation of the Minnesota post- retirement
investment fund as a means of providing post- retirement increases in the pension
benefits of retirees under the statewide pension funds.
6. No money or funding should be transferred directly or indirectly from
PERA to less well funded plans. Since integration of pension fund
administration mechanisms may lead to combining the funds, the LMC opposes any
move to combine administration of the three statewide pension programs.
7. The Legislature should amend the present provision on disbursement of
the two percent tax provision on automobile casualty insurance to allow
expenditures by the recipient political subdivision of any excess over the
employer's share of police retirement costs for any police department purpose
instead of requiring payment to the PERA police and fire fund.
-47-
PPS -3. Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) -- Benefits, Financing,
and Administration (cont'd) (B)
Since the PERA police and fire fund has now essentially achieved full
funding, employers' and employees' contributions should be reduced to an amount
sufficient to pay normal costs. Furthermore, the employer (taxpayers) through
payment of more than 50 percent of contributions to this fund is creating a
surplus not needed for pension purposes.
8. Individual local police and fire relief associations, with city consent,
should be allowed to merge into the PERA police and fire funds only if all
active members are brought under the PERA benefit structure and if:
a) savings will accrue to the city in the opinion of the state actuary as
well as in the opinion of the affected municipality; and
b) all actual funding liabilities as calculated by a state actuary which
are transferred to or assumed by the post- retirement fund are immediately
reimbursed to the fund by the transferring city; and
c) all actual funding liabilities as calculated by a state actuary which
are transferred to the PERA active fund shall be reimbursed to PERA at either
the percentage that the PERA police and fire active member fund is funded in the
year of consolidation or the percentage that fund was funded on the date of the
Moorhead local fund consolidation, whichever is greater; and
d) transferring employees shall draw benefits at the PERA level based upon
the salary level upon which pension contributions were made.
9. A new defined contribution pension plan for municipal first responders
and municipal ambulance volunteers who do not receive credit for their ambulance
efforts under any other pension program should be created by legislation. This
fund should be administered by PERA or another administrator on a statewide
basis but with full power of the respective local governmental units to chose
whether to participate, the level of contribution each year, the source of
funding, and the minimum service period to vest benefits.
10. The League opposes any change in the PERA Rule of 90 or the current
early- retirement reduction factor. PERA is the only statewide pension fund with
members eligible for the Rule of 90 and with a one - fourth percent pension
reduction per month under age 65 early- retirement reduction factor. Members
have provided substantial service in reliance on these beneficial and
purportedly permanent fund features.
11. If the federal government should require all newly hired police and
fire personnel to participate in Social Security, current PERA contributions
rates and benefits should be halved for affected new hires.
12. The League does not oppose an extension of the "Rule of 85" window to
June 15, 1987 to allow teachers to finish their school year. If any extension
is granted, all public employees should be treated similarly. Any extension
beyond June 15, 1987, should be preceded by an audit of the program to determine
the costs and benefits.
�•
PPS -3. Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) -- Benefits, Financing,
and Administration (cont'd) (B)
13. The PERA and workers' compensation laws should be returned to their
pre -1984 status and PERA disability payments should be an offset from required
workers' compensation payments to disabled employees.
PERA finds it burdensome or impossible to effectively offset workers'
compensation disability benefits from PERA disability payments. Proposals to
allow receipt and retention of both may provide greater income to disabled
workers than to those continuing to work and may this increase malingering.
-49-
PPS -4. Local Government Pay Equity Act (B)
The League supports legislation requiring arbitrators to consider and
comment on the results of the employer's pay equity study, and other legislation
ensuring the ability of cities to maintain the equitable compensation
relationships required to be implemented by the local government pay equity act.
The 1984 Legislature required all local units of government to conduct job
evaluation studies and to implement those studies in order to remedy sex -based
differentials in compensation. Cities have expended a great deal of staff time
and money in undertaking the studies and seeking to implement those studies by
the 1987 statutory deadline.
The primary issue now facing cities, aside from funding the implementation,
is ensuring the implemented studies can be maintained. In negotiations and
settlements with most employees, the governing body is ultimately responsible
for the compensation provided employees. If the governing body, through a
settlement with a particular employee class, creates inequity as defined by the
statute, it will be responsible for that inequity and ultimately will have to
increase or freeze compensation until equity is once again achieved.
This is not the case with essential employees organized under the Public
Employment Labor Relations Act. These employees, to the extent that agreement
with the local government can not be attained, have their compensation
established through mandatory binding arbitration. The end result of the
interplay between these statutes could be that the overall level of compensation
for all employees, not just essential employees, will be set not by the local
elected officials required to raise the revenues to pay for employees'
compensation, but rather by arbitrators.
The League strongly opposes any legislation which has the effect of
promoting this result, strongly opposes legislation which excludes police, fire,
and other essential employees from the pay equity act, and supports legislation
which ensures that the local officials charged with setting property tax levels
also set local government employee compensation levels.
-50-
i r
PPS -5. Military Leaves (B)
The League recommends that the statutes be amended to provide that when an
employee is temporarily absent because of short -term military service that the
employer pay only the difference between military pay and the public pay, rather
than the full public salary.
Under current law (M.S. 192.26 and 192.261) a city employee, as well as
other public employees, is entitled to leave with full pay and accrual of
seniority status and other benefits for all the time that employee is engaged in
short -term (15 days or less) military service and at this same time receives
full military pay. Cities, particularly those which must hire part -time
replacement employees when others take military leave, suffer a significant
financial hardship not shared by private sector employers who are not required
to provide short -term paid military leaves.
Public employees should only be required to pay the difference between the
employees military pay and their regular wage for this 15 day period. Any
longer leave period should be without pay and the accrual of seniority and other
benefits should be suspended for military leaves beyond 30 days. Current law
which provides for mandatory leaves and reinstatement after wars, declared
emergencies, active duty training, and duty training should be changed to
provide for mandatory leaves and reinstatement only after wars and declared
emergencies. Employees should not be entitled to leave and be reinstated for
active or inactive training duty.
PPS -6. Time and Distance Residency Requirements (B)
The League supports legislation allowing cities in the metropolitan area to
enact reasonable area and response time restrictions if there is a demonstrated
job necessity for certain employees to reside close to the city.
In recent years the Legislature has limited the authority of cities and
other local units of government to impose residency requirements for their
employees. The Legislature has recognized, however, the need for insuring the
ability of certain employees to be available to respond to emergency situations.
In 1984, in the same bill which prohibited non - metropolitan cities from
enacting blanket residency requirements, the Legislature specifically allowed
non - metropolitan cities to enact reasonable area and response time restrictions
if there were demonstrated job necessities for employees to reside close to the
city. Unfortunately, a drafting error prohibited metropolitan cities from
enacting these restrictions. In 1985, the Legislature acted to allow
metropolitan communities to impose reasonable time and distance requirements for
volunteer firefighters.
The result of the 1984 and 1985 legislative actions is a situation where
metropolitan communities still cannot impose reasonable time and distance
requirements for their police officers, paid firefighters, or any employee with
the exception of volunteer firefighters.
The League recommends that the Legislature grant metropolitan cities the
same authority granted non - metropolitan cities to impose reasonable time and
distance requirements where the city can show a demonstrated job - related
necessity. Because these requirements must pass this difficult test and
directly affect the public safety of the community, these requirements should
under no circumstances be considered as mandatory subjects of collective
bargaining.
-51-
PPS -7. Unemployment Compensation (B)
The League recommends that the Legislature amend the unemployment
compensation law to lengthen the requalification period, to limit eligibility
for temporary employment under one year in duration, and to relieve part -time
employers who continue employment of an individual from any responsibility to
contribute to compensation due to termination from other employment
The requalification period for employees who voluntarily quit or are
dismissed for cause is too low and should be substantially increased. In
addition, the League believes that individuals who knowingly accept temporary
employment of specific limited durations not exceeding one year and whose
employment is thus ended, should be deemed to have voluntarily ended their
employment and thus should be disqualified for certain benefits.
The employers involved should not be saddled with unemployment compensation
costs for individuals who accept and perhaps even plan for the termination of
such employment. Also, students temporarily employed as interns should be
ineligible for unemployment compensation since the position is primarily an
educational experience which by its very nature is not expected to be of
indefinite duration.
Finally, the current law unfairly treats cities employing part -time police,
fire, or park personnel which are required to contribute to unemployment
compensation due to termination from other employment even though the part -time
employment is continued.
PPS -8. One Class of Beer (B)
The League opposes the establishment of one class of beer and the off -sale
of wine in other than liquor stores.
The establishment of one class of beer in Minnesota would cause substantial
problems in controlling the sale of beer in filling stations, grocery stores,
drug stores, and elsewhere where 3.2 beer is presently sold. Also, 3.2 on -sale
establishments would be selling strong beer in competition with on -sale liquor
establishments and municipal liquor stores.
-52-
PPS -9. Firefighter Certification (B)
The League opposes any state imposed voluntary or mandatory firefighter
certification programs but supports the availability of technical and financial
assistance from the state for local or regional training programs.
Recent proposals to establish a state professional qualifications board
charged with certifying both voluntary and full -time firefighters are
unnecessary.to assure proper training of local firefighters and could too easily
be changed into mandatory certifications programs. .
The League supports efforts by the state to make training programs more
readily available for local firefighters as well as financial assistance by the
state to encourage local governments to provide additional training for
firefighters.
PPS-10. Workers' Compensation (C)
The League supports the elimination of the presumption that heart and lung
ailments of police and fire personnel arise from their employment, if the
employee has been an active smoker within the two years prior to the onset of
the heart or lung ailment.
Existing workers' compensation statutes create a presumption that heart and
lung ailments of police and fire personnel arise from employment. However,
personal risk factors, such as smoking, can be more significant in some cases
than job - related factors. For this reason, the League supports limiting the
presumption to cases where the employee can demonstrate limited personal risk
factors.
i
-53-
PPS -11. Modifications to the State Building Code (C)
The League supports the current ability of non - metropolitan cities,
counties, and towns to opt -out of the inspection and enforcement
responsibilities mandated by the State Building Code.
PPS -12. Social Investing. (C)
Without each employee's consent to other priorities, public employee
pension funds should be invested solely for the purpose of maximizing investment
return.
Investment management responsibility for public employee pension reserves
should be removed from the state Board of Investment and lodged in a politically
independent board the membership of which is limited to persons qualified to
manage investment portfolios for large pension programs. ,
PPS -13. Emergency Medical Services (C)
The League supports the current statutory minimum requirements for
ambulance vehicles, equipment, and attendantsl training but opposes any
additional requirements unless the state provides adequate funding or funding
sources.
Cities as a group are the single largest provider of ambulance services in
the state and form a vital part of the network of emergency services. To
maintain and improve the emergency services network for all residents of the
state the Legislature must provide funding for training and equipping emergency
medical personnel. State grants and aids should be available to enable all
cities to have access to adequate emergency medical services. Additionally,
with the increasing interest in paramedic services, the Legislature should
assist in providing easily accessible training on a statewide basis at minimum
cost in order to meet appropriate qualifications.
-54-
PPS -14. Ambulance Drivers -- Training for Driver. (C)
Legislation passed in 1986 authorizes a less than fully- trained ambulance
attendant to serve as a driver of an ambulance as long as there!are two fully
qualified attendants and the ambulance is not driven at speeds exceeding the
speed limit, and lights and siren are not used. The latter two provisions are
inappropriate and should be repealed. The League continues to support driver
training requirements for ambulance drivers.

RS -1. Municipal Bonds (A)
The League commends the Legislature for repealing interest rate limitations
on bonds issued between April 1, 1986 and July 1, 1987. The League., however,
continues to recommend permanent repeal of such limits to enable cities to
effectively participate in a changing bond market.
The traditional way of financing most local public improvements and
facilities has been, and will likely continue to be, through the issuance of
bonds. But the public bond market is undergoing dramatic change. Changes in
federal tax law will not only restrict local authorities in their ability to
issue some bonds, but for the first time will subject the interest earned on
certain municipal bonds to an alternative minimum tax. As a result interest
rates may have to be higher in order for the public sector to compete with
private investments in the taxable bond market. Indeed, the imposition of
interest rate limitations in this context could prevent bond sales.
It is the League's contention that artificial ceilings on bond interest
rates do not effectively hold down interest rates and may, in fact, add somewhat
to the costs of bond issuance by the creation of additional legal and procedural
requirements.
r
Interest rates in the bond market fluctuate in response to a combination of
reconomic forces. Local officials must operate within the realities of such a
market. Whether or not there is a statutory ceiling, local officials have every
incentive to keep issuance costs as low as possible. Therefore, the League
recommends that the interest limit be permanently repealed to enable local
officials to effectively respond to whatever bond market changes occur as the
result of market forces or federal action.
-59-
RS -2. Special Assessment Financing (A)
The League supports legislation increasing the rate assessments may bear
,A,." financed out of the general fund as well as legislation makrng it easier to
assess�tNe
state for
the costs
of improvements.
Special
assessments
financed by
bonds
in 1982, the Legislature changed the law governing the statutory interest
ceiling for municipal. bonds. The revised law, which provides for a floating
monthly maximum interest rate, creates a problem affecting the interest rate
which a municipality may charge on special assessments. The interest rate which
may be charged is determined according to the'maximum rate allowed to be paid on
municipal bonds "for the month in which the resolution authorizing the special
assessment is adopted." if a city sells the assessment bonds in a later month,
the interest rate payable on the bonds may be greater than that allowed to be
charged for the special assessment. The city is left having to absorb extra
costs.
The League recommends that the law be changed to ensure that a city may
charge an interest rate on special assessments at least one percentage point
higher than the rate payable on the bonds which finance the assessment.
Special assessments financed internally by a cites
Currently, M.S. 429.061, subd. 2 limits the rate of interest on assessments
financed out of the general fund to eight percent. Efforts by the 1986
Legislature to change this law have resulted in confusion. Benefitted property
should not receive a windfall from the general fund nor should it subsidize the
general fund through its assessments. For these reasons, the League supports
legislation authorizing general- fund - financed improvements to be assessed with
an interest rate at least one percent greater than the maximum interest rate
allowable on local obligations as determined monthly by the finance
commissioner.
Special assessments against state property
Current law, M.S. 435.19, provides for the collection of assessments
against other governmental jurisdictions. The law basically allows the
governmental unit which owns the property to determine the amount to be paid, as
well as when it will be paid. This is impractical since it results in interim
financing by the local unit of government; the governmentally owned property
should be assessed similarly to privately owned property and any lawlauthorizing
the state or other governmental units to refuse to pay the assessed amount, or
determine the time and amount of the payment, should be repealed.
.1
RS -3. State Administrative Costs (A)
The League opposes deducting state administrative costs from funds
appropriated for property tax relief. All state government costs should be
subject to the standard appropriation process review and be funded directly by
svecific state appropriation, not by a broad deduction from proRerty tax relief
programs.
When state administrative costs are financed through the local government
aid appropriation, funds available for property tax relief are reduced. In 1986
such state costs included $16,000 for the state demographer's office. In
addition, while decisions on the necessary staffing and funding levels for state
agencies are made by the appropriations committees, tax policy decisions are
generally handled by the tax committees. Coordination between committees is
often difficult in the final weeks of the legislative session. In a prior year,
such coordination problems resulted in nullifying the absolute grandfather
clause.
In order to promote a cohesive and coordinated state tax policy and provide
for adequate review of proposed state agency costs, it is recommended that no
state agency's administrative costs be deducted from property tax relief funds.
This will allow the tax committees to fully determine the level of property tax
relief to be provided and retain responsibility for such provisions as the
grandfather clause.
-61-
RS -4. Property Tax Reform (A)
In enacting any major reforms of the Minnesota property tax system,
including the complementary system of aids to local government, the League
recommends the Legislature pursue policies which meet the following conditions:
1. The impact of the proposal should be thoroughly analyzed, not only for
its impact statewide, but also for its effect on individual communities.
2. Major shifts that increase disparities in tax burdens among taxing
jurisdictions should not occur.
3. All significant changes should be phased in so that cities can
adequately plan for any needed adjustments.
4. Local government aid, or an equivalent program of sharing state revenue
for the purpose of equalizing local property tax burdens, should remain an
essential component of the property tax system. (See RS -2. Local Government
Aid.)
S. Property tax reform should not jeopardize existing development districts
whose establishment and financing were based on continuation of the current tax
structure. Any tax reform needs to recognize existing tax increment finance
districts and their cash flow and obligations. Impact on enterprise zones must
also be addressed.
6. Simplification and accountability are desirable goals that should be
addressed within the above tenets.
The League has formed a technical committee to review and respond to the
details of major property tax reform proposals as they are proposed.
Many significant changes in the property tax system are currently being
considered. The League believes it is critical that any proposal be evaluated
on the basis of its impact on individual communities. A proposal that may
appear balanced on a statewide basis can have very disparate effects on
individual cities.
The difference in property tax burdens among taxpayers living in
neighboring tax jurisdictions which provide similar services must also be kept
within reasonable limits. Any significant tax burden disparities would
adversely affect cities' abilities to compete on a fair basis for residents and
economic development.
Tax increment districts are dependent on the mill rate and assessment
ratios of the current property tax system. The financial viability of those
projects should not be jeopardized by state - imposed changes in the tax
structure. Likewise, enterprise zone businesses have been recruited based on a
commitment that they would receive a preferential classification ratio in the
calculation of their property tax obligations. These development districts
should be protected from any negative consequences of tax reform. The tax
increment financing plan in effect at the time legislation is passed should be
the basis for determining remedies.
-62-
RS -5. Local Government Aid (LGA) (B)
The League strongly supports continuation of the local government aid (LGA)
program as an essential component of the state's property tax relief system and
recommends a six percent annual increase in the appropriation authorized for
1988 and 1989. Local government aid should not be sacrificed in any major
reform of the state's property tax structure. Since potential reforms in the
property tax system are likely to require adjustments in the local government
aid formula, recommendations for specific changes in the formula must await the
details of property tax reform. The League has formed a technical committee to
review and respond to potential changes in the LGA formula as they are developed
by the Legislature, Governor, or any other groups.
Local government aid is a major source of revenue which complements cities'
other significant revenue source, the property tax. As such, LGA must be
distributed among cities in a way which alleviates the problems inherent with
reliance on the property tax. Cities vary markedly in their ability to raise
money from property taxes. There are also wide variations among cities in their
citizens' needs for services and the costs of providing those services. A
complementary revenue source for cities is necessary precisely because a city's
ability to raise revenue from the property tax does not necessarily coincide
with the cost of the services which that city must provide its citizens.
Therefore, the LGA formula should reflect both the individual city's need and
its local revenue raising capacity.
-63-
RS -6. State Funding to Cities (B)
Cities are critically dependent on state funding. On average, homestead
credit and local government aid account for nearly half of cities' revenues.
The League commends the Legislature for rejecting last year's proposals for
steep cuts in local government aid. The Legislature recognized the adverse
effects which cuts in prior years have had on cities . and the difficulties they
would face in attempting to absorb further cuts. In the past, state
appropriations for local government aid have not kept pace with the cost of
providing services. Other economic challenges facing cities include a declining
tax base, cuts in federal support (particularly the elimination of general
revenue sharing), costs growing faster than the general inflation rate, and the
need to implement additional mandates.
Property tax relief should continue to be a high priority. Policy makers
must recognize that any cuts in funding for cities will likely result in higher
property tax levels. For nearly two decades, the state has appropriately
assumed a role in reducing property tax burdens. A longstanding commitment for
such relief has been made to both the public and municipalities. The state must
not renege on that promise by proposing reductions in local government aid.
Tax and government financing reforms enacted during the past two decades
have dramatically shifted the mechanisms for raising revenue away from local
government and toward the state. Local governments have thus become heavily
dependent on state - collected revenue. With passage of the 1967 Tax Reform and
Relief Act, the 1971 Omnibus Tax bill (the so- called "Minnesota Miracle "), and
later tax legislation, the state obligated itself to lower property tax burdens,
levy increased sales and income taxes, and use the increased revenue from such
taxes to assume a larger share of the costs of delivering local government
services.
As a trade -off for providing aid to local governments the state imposed
levy limits on local governments and prohibited them from imposing new or
increased sales or income taxes. Given such constraints on the taxing abilities
of local government and the state's long- standing commitment to provide property
tax relief, the League believes it would be wholly unfair to reduce state
funding for local governments, particularly at a time when cities' costs are
rising and their tax bases are shrinking.
-64-
RS -7. Elimination of Levy Limits (B)
The League recommends that the Legislature repeal the levy limit laws in
order to enhance local accountability and allow cities to plan for and respond
to changing financial conditions. Certainly any proposal to make levy limits
even more restrictive would severely limit cities' abilities to compensate for
potential cuts in state and federal financial aid.
Cities in Minnesota must comply with multiple limits on their ability to
levy taxes. These limits make it difficult for many cities to adequately plan
for and respond to changing conditions. Federal cutbacks, skyrocketing
insurance costs, costs of comparable worth salary adjustments, and other forces
often require cities to re- examine their budgets. Levy limits prevent some
local officials from using property taxes as a source of revenue to provide for
adequate reserves or absorb increased costs.
Local elected officials are accountable to the public and should be
entrusted to responsibly use their taxing authority. Cities exist in a very
dynamic, changing environment. They are expected to quickly respond to changing
federal policies, state mandates, court rulings, and market forces such as those
currently shaking the insurance industry. Statewide limits artificially
constrain the options available to elected officials and are too inflexible.
- All cities are subject to a per capita limit outlined in M.S. 275.11.
Certain levies are allowed outside this levy limit, but these special levies
differ from those contained in other limits.
Statutory cities are further constrained by a millage limit on their
general purposes levy found in M.S. 412.251. Special purpose levies are allowed
outside of this levy limit. Home rule cities may have levy limits in their
charter. Their charter limits may be affected by M.S. 426.04 if it is less than
13 1/3 mills. Iron Range home rule cities in which more than 25 percent of the
assessed value consists of iron ore have special provisions in the statute.
Policy makers are most familiar with the percentage limit in M.S. 275.51.
The 1983 Legislature exempted cities with fewer than 5,000 residents_ from this
limitation. This was a positive step, however, cities of all sizes should be
trusted to use their taxing authority.
Given uncertainties in state and federal financial aids and the diverse
problems.and circumstances faced by cities, uniform limits are impractical.
These limits are inconsistent with the principles of local self - government and
accountability and should therefore be repealed.
-65-
RS -8. Stability of State Revenues (B)
The League urges adoption of fiscal and revenue policies that will
stabilize state revenues and thereby .lead to more predictable funding levels for
local governments. Inevitably, the stability of revenues flowing to local
governments is dependent on the stability of revenues flowing to the state. In
this regard the League supports establishment of a permanent budget reserve
equal to a minimum of five percent of total state outlays. As soon as possible
the reserve should be built up to a more adequate level. in excess of five
percent of outlays.
The reserve should be built up during years of economic prosperity and used
only to protect the state budget from unexpected economic downturns, not for tax
reductions or expenditure increases. Such a budget reserve is necessary given
the relatively volatile tax bases on which the state currently relies
(particularly the income tax and sales tax) and the potential for error in
revenue and economic forecasting.
In recent years the uncertainty of the state -local fiscal relationship has
made short- and long -term financial planning very difficult at the local level..
During the earlier part of this decade, local jurisdictions were left with
severe revenue shortfalls and cash flow problems because of the sharp and
unexpected decline in state revenue. State aids to local jurisdictions were cut
substantially and aid payments were delayed, often in the middle of the budget
year when compensating action was nearly impossible.
In addition, cities have been unable to plan their budgets with any degree
of confidence given the major year -to -year changes that have occurred in the
overall funding level for local government aid, in the formula used to
distribute local government aid, in levy limit laws, and in state property tax
relief programs. Cities need to be able to rely on predictable revenue sources
that will be adequate to maintain the level of services required by their
citizens.
Should problems with budget shortfalls persist even after establishment of
a budget reserve, the Legislature should consider.additional policy options to
stabilize state revenues, including:
broadening of the sales tax base to include purchases of some
necessities, such as clothing and personal services. Applying the sales tax to
some necessities could lead to more stable revenues since demand for such
necessities is likely to continue even during times of economic adversity.
* temporary suspension of indexing of the state income tax structure or
temporary increases in other taxes (such as the sales tax) in the event of a
sizable budget shortfall.
* refraining from further income or sales tax reductions unless it is
certain that budget shortfalls will not materialize.
..
RS -9. Sales Ratio Study (C)
The League commends the Legislature for directing the Department of Revenue
to study alternative means for determining the Gales ratio-in small communities
where few sales occur. The League's technical committee on property tax reform
issues will monitor the progress of this study and review its findings and
recommendations.
Various state formulas consider property tax base valuation in distributing
aid. Sales ratios are calculated for each jurisdiction by comparing actual
selling prices of properties to the estimated market value assigned by the
assessor. These sales ratios are used to equalize assessed values so that all
local governments are treated fairly and not rewarded or punished based on their
assessment practices.
Sales ratios are thus important determinants of the level of state aid
received by a community. Yet, in small communities, there are often few sales
in a given class of property to permit an accurate determination of a sales
ratio. In these cases, a county -wide average is applied. The county average,
however, may be overly influenced by sales in a larger regional center and thus
not accurately reflect the experience of smaller cities.
RS -10. License Fees (C)
The Legislature should repeal all maximum fee provisions relating to
off -sale liquor, on -sale wine, bottle club, and Sunday liquor licenses and allow
cities to decide locally the appropriate fee to charge for such licenses.
With few exceptions, the statutes granting authority to issue licenses or
permits do not specify maximum fees. Cities should have the discretion to set
fees based on their own costs, needs, and standards. Case law provides ample
limitations on cities' power to set license fees by requiring that revenues
produced must be related to the cost of issuing the license and regulating the
licensed business.
It is inappropriate for the Legislature to set maximum fees for off -sale
liquor, on -sale wine, bottle club, and Sunday liquor license fees. Cities have
acted responsibly in setting on -sale liquor license fees. It makes no sense to
grant them that power but deny them the power to set fees for off -sale liquor,
on -sale wine, bottle club, and Sunday liquor licenses. There is no evidence to
show that lifting the statutory cap would lead to unjustified fee increases.
Some reasonable increases in off -sale license fees could be expected since the
statutory maximum fee has not been increased in over 30 years.
-67-
RS -11. Equipment Financing (C)
M.S. 412.32 should be amended so that all Minnesota cities are able to
issue "five -year equipment certificates" in an amount not to exceed one percent
of the city's assessed valuation in any given year. No reverse referendum
provision should apply unless the city wishes to exceed the one percent limit
Statutory cities in Minnesota have the power to issue certification of
indebtedness, payable in not more than five years, to purchase capital equipment
(M.S. 412.301). If the amount of the certificates exceeds one percent of the
city's assessed valuation, a reverse referendum provision applies.
In 1983, the Legislature granted similar financing powers to Minnesota's
home rule charter cities (M.S. 412.32), without any reverse referendum
provision. However, the total principal amount of the certificates (or "capital
notes ") issued in a fiscal year is limited to no more than one -tenth of one
percent of the city's assessed value that year. In many cities, this limit is
prohibitively low, and effectively prevents the city from making use of the
authority granted in this statute.
RS -12. Railroad and Telephone Taxation (C)
A new formula should be adopted for the valuation of railroad operating
property for property tax purposes. In addition, if the current gross earnings
tax levied on telephone companies is replaced by a property tax, such taxation
should be consistent with the taxation of commercial /industrial property and,
furthermore, should be assessed and collected at the local level.
The existing system for - taxation of railroad operating property is not
consistent with the taxation of other commercial and industrial properties. The
present formula values railroad operating property at about 20 percent of the
value which would be determined by a local assessor using generally accepted
assessing principles. The League recommends that a new system of property
taxation be established which would tax both railroads and telephone companies
operating in Minnesota in a manner consistent with the taxation of the
commercial and industrial properties.
we
RS -13. Tax - Exempt Property (C)
State, county, school district, city, regional government, and other owners
of tax - exempt property (except houses of worship) should be required to
reimburse cities for the cost of police, fire, and street services.
One of the glaring inequities in the Minnesota tax system involves local
services that are provided free to tax - exempt property owned or used by the
state, counties, school districts, regional government bodies, and by certain
non - government organizations. It is widely acknowledged that such property
benefits directly from government services such as police and fire protection
and street services provided by cities. Since there is no legal basis for
claiming reimbursement for the costs of such services, they are borne by the
local taxpayers. Furthermore, such property is concentrated in certain cities,
resulting in a heavy and disproportionate cost burden upon those cities.
RS -14. Local Option Taxes (C)
The League recommends that cities be given local option to raise other
non - traditional revenue sources to enhance local financial flexibility.

FL -1. Federal Tax Policy: Impact on Cities
The League supports federal tax measures that restore greater efficiency
and fairness to the federal income tax system. Cities expect serious
difficulties resulting from the federal limits and restrictions on the authority
of municipalities to issue traditional public purpose bonds, to provide
affordable housing, and to use of tax - exempt financing to remove blight and to
meet local economic development needs.
Further, Minnesota cities are concerned about the repeal of the
deductibility of state and local sales taxes. As the negative effects of these
restrictions become evident, LMC urges Congress to re- examine and remove those
provisions that hamper the ability of cities in Minnesota to raise revenues and
provide for local needs.
Passage of federal tax reform legislation will have profound effects on
every community through changes in tax burden for city residents and businesses,
and through the imposition of new mandates, and limits placed on the authority
of cities to raise revenues.
Ironically, the sweeping restrictions on municipal bond authority will not
produce revenues to the federal treasury that had been anticipated. Transition
rules in the final legislation provide exemptions for many projects that would
otherwise be ineligible for tax - exempt financing. The cost of those transition
rules actually offsets most of the new federal revenues anticipated as a result
of bond restrictions.
Yet, the impact of those limits and restrictions will seriously constrain
the authority of cities to raise needed revenues to maintain infrastructure and
support local economic development priorities.
The repeal of the deductibility of state and local sales taxes will also
increase pressure to turn to the property tax to fund more public services.
Retroactive changes in cities' authority to issue tax exempt municipal
bonds impose significant restrictions. Redefinition of public purpose bonds
reduces the amount of use, benefit or security of the bond by a private entity,
from the current 25 percent to 10 percent. Further, any portion of the bond
value over $15 million that benefits a non - governmental entity must be
authorized under a lowered state per capita volume cap allocation.
Earnings on general obligation and revenue bonds are now subject to limits
on arbitrage that may be earned and excess arbitrage earnings will have to be
rebated to the federal government. The fact that small cities are expected to
benefit from exclusions for cities that reasonably expect to issue less than $5
million in bonds per year is not much help when measured against numerous cost
increases for new issuance and reporting requirements. .
The repeal of bank deductibility and the unprecedented taxation of
municipal bond interest through the alternative minimum tax will have a dramatic
impact -on the marketing of municipal bonds and are likely to result in increased
bond issuance costs to cities.
-73-
FL -1. Federal Tax Policy: Impact on Cities (cont'd)
It is estimated that the restrictions and imposition of a lower per capita
volume limit on private purpose bond authority will result in the loss of 84
percent of the bond authority available to cities and other units of government
in Minnesota in 1986. As a result, cities will face long delays in obtaining
approval of bonds for local projects. Some needed improvements may simply not
be made or when authorized, the projects are likely to have increased in cost to
the city.
Finally, restrictions placed in the bill with respect to real estate
investment make it more difficult for cities to meet local housing needs. Such
changes are likely to lead to serious problems for cities as the value and
financial stability of both commercial property and multi - family housing
projects decline. Federal tax reforms also eliminate major tax incentives for
the construction of low- and moderate - income housing (and do not seek to
compensate for that loss with any increase in federal housing assistance to
cities).
For all these reasons, as well as for other negative effects of recent
federal income tax reforms that have not yet become apparent, the League of
Minnesota Cities urges Congress to make necessary changes in the federal income
tax provisions to enable cities to meet local needs.
-74-
FL -2. General Revenue Sharing (GRS)
LMC continues to support tbe,concept of direct federal assistance to local
government as an essential ingredient in our intergovernmental system and urges
Congress to reauthorize General Revenue Sharing at the FFY'86 level of funding.
Recognition of the importance of providing basic services at the local
level must be reflected in a program of direct federal assistance to cities.
Continued funding is needed along with revised allocation of GRS payments to
provide needed assistance to cities with most needs and -the least ability to pay
for local services. FFY'87 GRS appropriations are not to be funded through
reductions in other programs to aid cities.
GRS provides the most efficient program of direct federal assistance--to
local government, along with the flexibility that permits cities to use GRS
funds for needs and priorities determined at the local level.
The purposes for which General Revenue Sharing was created remain valid:
Direct assistance for general purpose local government to compensate cities for
the cost of federal mandates as well as to aid in the funding of local services
in areas of national interest. GRS also provides revenues to assist cities in
overcoming adverse effects of federal policies and national economic conditions.
Those purposes have special meaning for cities where unemployment, and loss of
local tax base and real estate values place an unreasonable burden on local
taxpayers to fund basic public services.
Reauthorization of GRS as an entitlement program is needed; making it
subject to annual appropriations aggravates current uncertainty over the future
of the program. If funding is not available for a multiyear entitlement, it
would be preferable to extend current payments for at least FFY'87 while
preparing a transition to a program that recognizes differences in local fiscal
capacity and provides a national and intra -state allocation that directs the
most assistance to cities with the greatest need and the least resources.
-75-
FL -3. Targeted Fiscal Assistance
The League of Minnesota Cities supports the concept of targeted fiscal
assistance to cities as proposed in S. 2037, Targeted Fiscal Assistance Act of
1986.
The allocation of such federal aid must recognize differences among states
and direct funding to local unitsof government with the most need and the
greatest responsibility for the provision and delivery of public services. It is
clear that a more precise definition and recognition of the level of basic local
public services and responsibilities must be incorporated into the method of
determining the distribution of funds among local units of government.
The value of federal fiscal assistance to local government also depends on
the reliability of funding and the ability of the program to respond to changing
local economic and fiscal conditions. It is imperative that targeted fiscal
assistance be enacted as an entitlement to provide continuing federal aid to
those cities with the greatest need where local fiscal capacity is low.
The League's support of a more targeted approach to the distribution of
direct federal aid to cities is consistent with LMC support of General Revenue
Sharing. In the event that Congress fails to reauthorize GRS, LMC urges support
for a program of targeted federal fiscal assistance to cities.
-76-
FL -4. Federal Deficit Reduction
The League opposes delegation by Congress of its authority to set.- federal
budget priorities to any non - elected federal official who cannot be held
accountable for across - the -board reductions required by the
Gramm - Rudman - Hollings Deficit Reduction Act of 1986.
Congress is the appropriate representative institution to determine how to
reduce the federal deficit while retaining the federal -local partnership and
programs to meet the needs of cities.
The League strongly urges the President and Congress to work together to
develop a balanced plan to raise federal revenues and restrain future
expenditures to bring the federal budget into balance within the next three
years.
Minnesota city officials are also concerned about the use of Highway Trust
Funds to balance the federal budget. Such actions break faith with the compact
with highway users stating that highway user fees are to be used only for
transportation purposes. They should not be used for deceptive efforts at
deficit reduction. Rather, such funds must be returned to states in a timely
manner with appropriate levels of spending authoirty in keeping with the
revenues that accrue to the Highway Trust Fund.
Action by the U.S. House of Representatives (in August 1986) to defeat
efforts to restore the automatic triggering of budget cuts for cities is
encouraging. Such decreases have already produced severe reductions in federal
aid to cities; restoration of automatic sequestering could result in the loss of
at least 6.7 percent more in federal funds for cities beginning in October 1986
(as of final snapshot of federal deficit provided on 10/6/86). Such reductions
would then occur twice within a single budget year for cities and fail to take
into account the impact on cities or their residents.
When added to the increase in the cost of new federal mandates;
restrictions on cities' authority to raise revenues under new tax reform
legislation; and the record losses already incurred as a result of the sharp
decreases in federal funds for cities since 1981, the triggering of a third
round of automatic Gramm- Rudman budget cutbacks to cities would produce sharp
decreases in every federal program for cities while protecting 90 percent of
total federalexpenditures from such across - the -board reductions.
Congressional budget reconciliation action taken to reduce the current
federal deficit below the Gramm- Rudman target for FFY '87, while welcomed as a
move that forestalls immediate additional Gramm- Rudman cuts, does nothing to
resolve current federal deficit reduction policy which unreasonably targets 100
percent of federal programs to cities for severe budget reductions while
protecting nearly all other federal expenditures from such across - the -board
budget cutbacks.
-77-
FL -5. Low- and Moderate - Income Housin
The League strongly supports a strengthening of the federal role in
providing housing programs to.aid cities in meeting the needs of low- and
moderate - income residents.
Federal housing policy must include continuation of low- and
moderate - income housing subsidies and funding for new construction of affordable
housing as well as assurance that new federal low- income housing tax credits
will be available to encourage investment in such housing projects financed with
tax - exempt bonds.
Expiration of federal subsidies for low- and moderate - income units, in
combination with the withdrawal of federal tax preference items for investors in
those properties, is likely to lead to substantial rent increases without a
change in the emphasis of federal housing policy. Displacement of renters who
will not be able to afford higher rents will threaten the availability of
decent, affordable rental housing in many cities.
The analysis of low- and moderate - income housing needs completed recently
by the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Offficials ( NAHRO)
underlines the need for reform of federal housing policy to respond to the
increased need for affordable housing in cities. It is estimated, according to
NAHRO housing statistics, that one out of six households will require such
housing subsidies within the next 15 years.
Special emphasis must be placed on provision of rental assistance to
individuals and families as well as on rehabilitation of single- and
multi - family housing units. No single approach is sufficient to deal with the
wide range of housing needs throughout the nation. Therefore, it is imperative
that a combination of federal programs and assistance be supported and that the
current decline in the federal role in such housing assistance be reversed.
The League urges Congress to provide incentives to owners of private low -
and moderate - income housing units to retain that property for such tenants
rather than to sell or redevelop the site. In addition, Congress must extend
Section 8 rental subsidies for another 15 -year period to provide housing for
city residents who are not able to afford unsubsidized rents.
The provision of federal tax reform legislation placing multi - family
housing bonds under the lowered state volume limits should be reversed. The use
of the new federal low- income housing tax credit should be allowed for housing
rehabilitation projects and those using federal housing subsidies and loans.
There is also a continuing need for federal programs to stimulate construction
of new affordable housing, to increase home ownership, and to rehabilitate
public housing as well as to provide for special as housing needs, such as
shelters for the homeless.
MEM
FL -6. Homelessness
The League of Minnesota Cities supports immediate action by all levels of
government to address the needs of the homeless. There is a paramount need for
federal assistance to provide cities with adequate support and financing for
low- income housing and to respond to the need for a national response to the
problems of homelessness.
Responses are needed in coordination with those of community -based
organizations, churches, businesses, and private foundations. Along with the
National League of Cities, the League supports federal efforts in the following
areas: emergency assistance, long -term support, and preventive measures.
At the federal level, the League supports aid programs.to assist local
homeless shelters; continuation and expansion of the Emergency Food and Shelter
Program; and expansion of demonstration projects to provide for chronically
mentally and physically disabled persons who are homeless. Deliberate efforts
are also needed at the national level to identify and make available surplus
federal property and equipment to meet the needs of emergency shelters.
Over the long -term, the federal government must promote and insist on the
maintenance of the supply of low- income single and family housing. Of equal
importance is renewed federal support for rural housing programs to minimize
the trend of homeless migration to urban centers. LMC supports NLC policy
urging review of Section 504 of the federal Rehabilitation Act to put an end to
discrimination against the mentally disabled. Finally, extension of SSI
eligibility to three months is needed for homeless people receiving care in
Medicaid facilities, along with improvement of pre - release procedures to'a'ssure
that such benefits continue after discharge, as needed.
-79-
FL -7. Medicare Deductions for City Employees
The League urges Congress to maintain its commitment to a transitional
period for the imposition of Medicare coverage on state and local employees
Proposed action to extend such coverage to all public employees in FFY'87,
including election judges, violates understandings that such requirements would
be phased -in over time.
Congress extended the requirement for Medicare coverage to all newly hired
state and local employees, including city election judges, as of April 1, 1986,
as part of the FFY'86 budget reconcilliation process. Expanding mandatory
participation in Medicare for remaining city (and other state and local)
employees amounts to levying a new payroll tax. When coupled with deep cuts
already made in federal funds to cities for FFY'87, such extended coverage
requirements would have an immediate and serious fiscal impact on cities.
Application of such a comprehensive mandate has presented cities with
unexpected difficulties. Responsibilities for the conduct of elections, for
example, is likely to become not only more expensive but also more difficult to
recruit and retain elections judges who will be required to have Medicare
deductions made from their modest level of payment for an essential local
government function.
Anticipated federal income tax cuts to middle - income employees would be
largely wiped out by such requirements. The proposal would more than offset the
tax cut anticipated by the four to five million people not currently
participating in Medicare. It is estimated that the '87 cost nationally to
state and local government will be $395 million, with an additional $395 million
in tax increases for employees. In Minnesota, based on 1985 payroll figures,
projected total city payroll cost increases would be at least $14 million next
year.
.1
w
a
FL -8. Mandates
The League supports reimbursement of cities for additional costs imposed by
future federal mandates and urges congressional approval of the
Intergovernmental Regulatory Relief Act (S. 2387). The bill would provide
payments to states and cities for any additional direct costs imposed by federal
regulations adopted after enactment of the legislation.
Mandates have increasingly become a serious source of conflict between
the local and federal levels of government. As the federal role in domestic
programs has declined and assistance to cities has been reduced, the cost of
such federal requirements has been more difficult to afford at the local level.
Often such requirements do not reasonably respond to limited tax base and local
needs. In addition, congressional efforts to reduce the federal deficit have
passed on new costs to local government including expansion of Medicare
coverage requirements for employees and accelerated payment of social security
deductions. Tax reform provisions will also add to costs of issuing municipal
bonds.
S. 2387 requires both the executive and legislative branches of the federal
government to become more aware of the costs to local government of implementing
such regulations. The legislation also requires the federal government to
direct its attention to ways in which such costs can be reduced. The concept of
regulatory relief is welcome aid to dealing with the growth in the number and
cost of federal mandates that often overlook local priorities and fiscal
capacity.
WIN
FL -9. Stormwater Permits
LMC supports the establishment of national pollution discharge standards
and federal funding to achieve those levels. Such federal aid is to be separate
from and should not reduce current federal grants to cities for construction of
wastewater treatment facilities.
Primary focus of national pollution discharge standards should
be on industrial run -off and areas determined to be causing significant
pollution problems in association with such activity. The League also
recognizes the seriousness of agricultural sources of such pollution and urges
that guidelines be developed to encourage states and cities to undertake action
to restrict discharges that exceed national or state pollution standards.
The League supports congressional action to modify proposed EPA regulations
to require direct consultation with state and local officials in the development
of EPA stormwater management policy for state and local government and the
involvement of local officials in the development of the state stormwater
management plan. Such guidelines would take into consideration geographic
variables, costs and benefits and seek to address the most serious pollution
discharge problems.
Elimination of proposed requirements for cities to obtain permits for every
stormwater outfall is essential in the design of an abatement program directed
at the most serious stormwater management problems. Cities must not be forced
to undertake testing and regulation of stormwater run -off from countless
locations. It would be impossible for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
to enforce such permit requirements for all locations.
I-
V' 1 �
FL -10. Superfund
The League of Minnesota Cities supports the strengthening and improvement
of the federal-hazardous waste clean -up policy and urges Congress to reauthorize
the program for FFY'87 -90.
The League continues to support the need for a broad -based tax to be
imposed on generators, users, and manufacturers of hazardous materials as well
as on other industrial sources of such materials. Such revenues are critically
needed to accomplish hazardous waste site clean -up activities. Concern for
needed funding makes it imperative that reliable and stable sources of revenue
be provided to assure that the EPA - mandated schedule of clean -up is achieved.
Congressional action to improve the level of funding and the federal
sharing of clean -up costs for abandoned hazardous waste sites is encouraging to
cities. Extension of the 90 percent federal cost share for operation and
maintenance of clean -up sites to include treatment and measures required to
restore quality of ground and surface water is a major improvement over current
provisions. The inclusion of a more realistic timeline of up to 10 years for
such activities strengthens the role of the federal government in restoring the
local environment.
The right of cities to sue for damages to natural resources and to
undertake clean -up activities in advance of approval of plans by the state
pollution control agency is responsive to cities' concerns for prompt action and
the need to protect local residents. The authority of cities to seek recovery
of clean -up costs of previously contaminated property acquired by the city is an
essential protection for innocent third parties.
New provisions that mandate a schedule of clean -up activities and
establishment of funding for sites operated by the Department of Defense is
important recognition of the responsibility of the federal government to remove
threats to local residents caused by military production or activities within
the city.

FL -11. State and Local Pipeline Safety Control
WHEREAS, the recent rupture-and explosion of a gasoline pipeline in Mounds
View, Minnesota, has demonstrated the potentially hazardous conditions of
underground pipeline transport of volatile petroleum products through the
residential, commercial, and industrial areas of the nation's cities; and
WHEREAS, there are nearly 2 million miles of liquid and natural gas
pipelines throughout the nation which receive inadequate federal monitoring or
inspection and;
WHEREAS, current federal law appears to pre -empt state and local authority
to regulate the operation, monitoring, transport, and safety of such pipelines;
and
WHEREAS, federal legislation has been introduced to establish a community
right -to -know policy with respect to substances transported through such
pipelines and to require the use of monitoring and valve techniques for both new
and old pipelines to detect leakage and assure automatic shutdown in the case of
such incidents;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the National League of Cities should
strongly support HR 5401, to amend the Liquid Pipeline Safety Act of 1979 and
the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1968 to require more stringent testing
procedures; increased community notification; installation of automatic
shut -off valves on all pipelines; and prohibiting construction of new pipelines
within 150 feet of residential, hospital, nursing home, school, or correctional
facilities or other permanently inhabited facility.

Policy Review and Approval:
In order to give member officials the maximum amount of time to review
the proposed AMM policy, this packet has been mailed prior to Board
of Directors review and action which will occur on October 9. All
amendments, deletions, and additions made by the Board of Directors
will be communicated through a separate mailing to all member city
officials immediately following that meeting. The full membership
will meet November 6, 1986 to consider final action on the policy as
recommended by the Board of Directors.
Special Circumstances
There are a few special items of which you should be aware. Policy
IV -I developed by the Metropolitan Agencies Committee and Policy V -P
developed by the Transportation Committee deal with the same basic
subject but the policies are in conflict and will need special attention
Policy I -G dealing with Fiscal Disparities has not received final
appoval from the Revenue Committee and is subject to change. Policy
IV -0 dealing with Solid Waste Management has been significantly
changed from current policy. The thrust of this policy is that
cities' remaining responsibility for Solid Waste would be transferred to
the Counties. The Board will make a determination and recommendation
on these issues.

LEGISLATIVE POLICIES
1987 -1988
I
MUNICIPAL REVENUE AND TAXATION
I -A LEVY LIMITS
A -1 5% LEVY LIMIT REPEAL
The Association of Metropolitan Municipalities has consistently
opposed the levy limit laws in that they apply uniform statewide
restrictions to cities and. are too inflexible to accommodate
inflation, uncertanties in state and federal financial aids, and
the diverse problems and circumstances faced by.cities throughout
the state. Such laws are inconsistent with principles of local
self - government and accountability. Neither do they recognize
changing local conditions as to either expenditure needs or
revenue sources. Levy limits may ultimately work against the
interests of local taxpayers because the law creates an incentive
for cities to take maximum advantage of the opportunity to make
general or special levies. For example, the arbitrary decision in
1981 to create a new levy limit base effectively penalized those
cities that were successful in holding down their property tax
levies in 1981. History has now provided cities with numerous
lessons teaching that cities which choose to levy less than the
maximum allowed in a given year risk being later tied to
unrealistic or artifically low new limits for future budget years.
Therefore,
THE AMM REMAINS STRONGLY OPPOSED IN PRINCIPLE TO SUCH LIMITATIONS
AND RECOMMENDS THAT THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE REPEAL LEVY LIMIT
LAWS FOR CITIES.
A -2 LEVY LIMIT INDEX
The 1985 Legislature reversed the annual levy limit base increase
index from the greater of the Implicit Price Deflator or 5% to the
lessor of these. For many years cities argued that the levy base
increase should not be a flat percentage but be indexed to reflect
cost of doing business. This is especially true since labor costs
are 60 to 65 percent of the total municipal cost, yet because of
the state PELRA laws control of wages and wage increases often is
determined by outside arbitration. Also, during those years, of
flat percent increase, many adjustments and gimmicks were needed
to keep up but since the adoption of the Implicit Price Deflator
as an index, this has not been the case and property tax
increases have been reasonable.
THE AMM URGES THE LEGISLATURE TO RESTORE THE ANNUAL LEVY BASE
INCREASE TO THE IMPLICIT PRICE DEFLATOR OR 5% WHICHEVER IS
GREATER.
-1-
I -B LEVY LIMIT MODIFICATIONS
Although the AMM is strongly opposed to Levy Limitations as
currently legislated, the organization is aware that there is
significant legislative initiative to maintain the responsibility +
for local property tax levels. However, local government must
continue and be allowed to provide for services that people demand
and that state and federal law require. Therefore, if repeal is
not adopted, the Association supports amendments to the present
levy limit law to provide further relief from current inequities.
B -1 REALISTIC LEVY BASE
The 1983 legislature restored the pre 1982 levy base formula of
local government aids plus levy limit on which annual growth is
calculated without regard to actual levy. This method provides
that cities may levy less than the limit without losing the
ability to regain the underlevy in future years. The legislature
also provided growth based on an index rather than a flat
percentage and growth increase for the greater of population or
households and some base growth for commercial and industrial
activity. All of these growth factors are necessary as a minimum
to allow cities the ability to at least stay even with service
provisions for the varying population needs.
THE AMM SUPPORTS CONTINUED USE OF THE CURRENT LEVY BASE ADJUSTMENT
FACTORS AS A MINIMUM FOR FUTURE LEVY YEARS IF THE LEGISLATURE
FINDS IT PHILOSOPHICALLY NECESSARY TO CONTINUE LEVY LIMITS FOR
CITIES OVER 5000 POPULATION.
B -2 REVERSE REFERENDUM
The 1981 legislature eliminated the Reverse Referendum procedure
which allowed a local governing body to increase its levy base by
up to 10% if it was at 98% or more of the levy limit the previous
year. . The law restricted use to a one time 10% increase or
up to 10% in multiple steps and public hearing procedures. The
increase was subject to a referendum if a petition was
presented containing signatures equal to 5% of the number of
persons voting at the previous general election. If no petition
was received, the increase becomes effective. This provision
provided a measure of flexibility for cities and counties that
needed base increases for various reasons.
THE AMM REQUESTS THE LEGISLATURE RE -ENACT THE REVERSE REFERENDUM
PROVISION TO ADD FLEXIBILITY FOR LOCAL UNITS.
-2-
B -3 MANDATED STATE AND FEDERAL PROGRAMS.
The cost of local government is being infl
both state and federally legislated
increased mandated benefits or costs for
to current levy limitation restrictions,
government to pay these increased costs
uenced more and more by
mandated programs and
in -place programs. Due
the ability of local
tc.
THE AMM URGES THE LEGISLATURE TO RECOGNIZE THAT MANDATED INCREASED
EXPENDITURES IN ONE PROGRAM WITHOUT A CORRESPONDING INCREASE IN
FUNDING ABILITY MANDATES A DECREASED EXPENDITURE IN THE OTHER
SERVICE AREAS SUCH AS PUBLIC SAFETY ETC., AND THEREFORE, WHEN SUCH
INCREASES ARE MANDATED THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD PROVIDE A PERMANENT
LEVY LIMIT BASE INCREASE TO OFFSET THE NEW COSTS.
B -4 COMPARABLE WORTH LEVY BASE ADJUSTMENT
Recent actions concerning poublic employee compensation is having
a significant affect on the ability of Minnesota cities to meet
the increasing salary required to maintain current staffing
levels. Implementation of Comparable Worth salary studies may
cause city payrolls to incrase well above the percentage allowed
by the restrictive levy limitation imposed upon cities over 5000
population. Most cities budgets are 65% to 75% payroll related,
therefore, labor related mandated increases above normal inflation
can not be accommodated without service reductions in various
sensitive public health and safety areas.
THE AMM STRONGLY URGES THE LEGISLATURE TO PROVIDE LEVY BASE
INCREASES TO COMPENSATE FOR MANDATED IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPARABLE
WORTH STUDY RESULTS.
B -5 SPECIAL LEVIES AND BASE ADJUSTMENTS
The legislature has recognized that occassionally special
conditions exist requiring special funding or modifcation of a
cities current funding to provide ongoing required services.
These special levies currently enacted should be continued.
However, there are additional problems that should be considered
for special status such as natural disaster funding, lawful
orders, unusually large FICA adjustments and shifts of service
from one unit of government to another without shifts of funds.
THE LEGISLATURE IS URGED TO CONTINUE CURR

the appropriate formulas for. distribution of aids because of the
vast difference in cities within the state, the legislature should
not abrogate its authority nor lose sight of the overall need to
maintain stable and reasonable property tax levels.
THE AMM URGES THE LEGISLATURE TO CONTINUE ITS COMMITMENT TO ALL
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND MAINTENANCE OF REASONABLE PROPERTY TAXES BY
INCREASING ITS FUNDING OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID PROGRAMS ON AS FAIR
AND EQUITABLE BASIS AS POSSIBLE. THE LEGISLATURE MAY NEED TO
CONSIDER ADDITIONAL NEW AND CREATIVE METHODS OF SOLVING UNIQUE
LOCAL FUNDING PROBLEMS SEPARATELY FROM THE GENERALIZED FORMULAS.
C -2 LGA ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS
The 1985 legislature provided that a portion of the LGA fund be
paid to the State Auditor and State Demographer for activities
associated with local government. Although the amount of dollars
involved is small, this sets a precedent that could lead to large
allocations of aid funds in the future to fund normal state
government operations and could affect all units of local
government not just cities.
THE AMM OPPOSES FUNDING STATE GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS FROM A
PORTION OF AID ALLOCATIONS AND REQUESTS THE LEGISLATURE TO RESTORE
THE LGA FUND MONIES TAKEN FOR THE OPERATIONS OF THE STATE AUDITOR
AND STATE DEMOGRAPHER DEPARTMENTS.
-4-
I -D PROPERTY TAX
D -1 TAX EXEMPT PROPERTY
One of the glaring inequities in the Minnesota tax system involves
the free local services that are provided to tax exempt property
owned by the state and by certain non - governmental organizations.
It is widely acknowledged that such property benefits directly
from governmental services such as police and fire protection and
street services provided by cities and counties. However, since
there is not legal basis for claiming reimbursement for the cost
of such services, they are borne by the local taxpayers.
Furthermore, such property is concentrated in certain cities and
counties resulting in a heavy cost burden in certain parts of the
state.
THE ASSOCIATION BELIEVES THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY
ENACTING LEGISLATION, REQUIRING OWNERS OF TAX EXEMPT PROPERTY,
EXCEPT FOR CHURCHES, HOUSES OF WORSHIP, AND PROPERTY USED SOLELY
FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES BY ACADEMIES, COLLEGES, UNIVERSITIES AND
SEMINARIES OF LEARNING, TO REIMBURSE CITIES AND COUNTIES FOR THE
COST OF MUNICIPAL SERVICES.
D -2 RAILROAD PROPERTY TAXATION
The existing system for taxation of railroad operating property is
not consistent with the taxation of other commercial and
industrial properties. The present formula values railroad
operating property at about 20% of the value which would be
determined by a local assessor using generally accepted assessing
principles. The AMM recommends that a new system of property
taxation be established which enable railroads operating in
Minnesota to be taxed consistent with the taxation of other
commercial and industrial properties. This system should contain
the following features:
RAILROAD OPERATIONS LAND AND STRUCTURES SHOULD BE LOCALLY VALUED
AND ASSESSED IN THE SAME MANNER AS OTHER COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL
PROPERTY.
'OPERATING LAND' IS DEFINED TO MEAN ANY LAND WHICH UNDERLIES THE
OPERATING STRUCTURES DEFINED BELOW AND RIGHTS -OF -WAY ADJACENT
THERETO AND WHICH IS NECESSARY TO THE INTEGRAL PERFORMANCES OF
RAILROAD TRANSPORTATION SERVICES.
"OPERATING STRUCTURES" IS DEFINED TO MEAN ALL STRUCTURES OWNED OR
USED BY A RAILROAD COMPANY IN THE PERFORMANCE OF RAILROAD
TRANSPORTATION SERVICES,INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, FRANCHISES,
BRIDGES, TRESTLES, TRACKS, SHOPS, DOCKS, WHARVES, BUILDINGS AND
OTHER RELATED STRUCTURES. ALL OPERATING STRUCTURES EXCEPT
-5-
m
RAILROAD BRIDGES, TRESTLES, TRACKS, DOCKS AND WHARVES, SHOULD BE
TAXABLE.
THE PRESENT SYSTEM FOR VALUING AND TAXING NON- OPERATING PROPERTY
SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED.
NO TAXING JURISDICTION SHOULD LOSE REVENUE BECAUSE OF THE CHANGE
FROM THE EXISTING UNIT VALUE SYSTEM TO THE NEW LOCAL ASSESSMENT
SYSTEM.
D -3 PROPERTY TAX REFORM
Many significant changes in the property tax system are currently
being considered. The AMM believes it is critical that any
proposal be evaluated on the basis of its impact on individual
communities. A proposal that may appear balanced on a statewide
basis can have very disparate effects on individual cities.
The difference in property tax burdens among taxpayers living in
neighboring tax jurisdictions which provide similar services must
also be kept within reasonable limits. Any significant tax burden
disparities would adversely affect cities' abilities to compete on
a fair basis for residents and economic development.
Tax increment districts are dependent on the mill rate and
assessment ratios of the current property tax system. The
financial viability of those projects should not be jeopardized by
state - imposed changes in the tax structure. Likewise, enterprise
zone businesses have been recruited based on a commitment that
they would receive a preferential classification ratio in the
calculation of their property tax obligations. These development
districts should be protected from any negative consequences of
tax reform. The tax increment financing plan in effect at the
time legislation is passed should be the basis for determining
remedies.
In enacting any major reforms of the Minnesota property tax
system, including the complementary system of aids to local
government, the AMM recommends that the Legislature pursue
policies which meet the following conditions:
THE IMPACT OF THE PROPOSAL SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY ANALYZED, NOT ONLY
FOR ITS IMPACT STATEWIDE, BUT ALSO FOR ITS EFFECT ON INDIVIDUAL
COMMUNITIES.
MAJOR SHIFTS THAT INCREASE DISPARITIES IN TAX BURDENS AMONG TAXING
JURISDICTIONS OR REGIONS WITHIN THE STATE SHOULD NOT OCCUR.
ALL SIGNIFICANT CHANGES SHOULD BE PHASED IN SO THAT CITIES CAN
ADEQUATELY PLAN FOR ANY NEEDED ADJUSTMENTS.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID, OR AN EQUIVALENT PROGRAM OF SHARING STATE
REVENUE FOR THE PURPOSE OF EQUALIZING LOCAL PROPERTY TAX BURDENS,
SHOULD REMAIN AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF THE PROPERTY TAX SYSTEM.
PROPERTY TAX REFORM SHOULD NOT JEOPARDIZE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT
DISTRICTS WHOSE ESTABLISHMENT AND FINANCING WERE BASED ON
CONTINUATION OF THE CURRENT TAX STRUCTURE. ANY TAX REFORM NEEDS
TO RECOGNIZE EXISTING TAX INCREMENT FINANCE DISTRICTS AND THEIR
CASH FLOW AND OBLIGATIONS. IMPACT ON ENTERPRISE ZONES MUST ALSO
BE ADDRESSED.
SIMPLIFICATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY ARE DESIRABLE GOALS THAT SHOULD
BE ADDRESSED WITHIN THE ABOVE TENETS.
I -E SALES RATIO STUDIES AND USE
Whereas, taxing units in the seven - county metropolitan area are
subject (1) to certain area -wide levies and (2) to Fiscal
Disparity allocations, it is necessary to ensure tax equalization
among these various tax units. In 1984 the legislature authorized
the Revenue Department to study new methods of calculating sales
ratios by including adjustments for financing, time, etc.
AFTER THE SALES RATIO STUDIES ARE IMPROVED BY INCLUDING ALL
FACTORS OF SALES THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD ENACT LEGISLATION WHICH
MANDATES AT LEAST A 90% SALES RATIO FOR ALL CITIES WITHIN THE
SEVEN - COUNTY METROPOLITAN AREA, THE SALES RATIO SAMPLE TO BE
EITHER DONE OR AUDITED BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE AND
REQUIRING THAT THE COMMISSIONER OF REVENUE SHALL MAKE AGGREGATE
INCREASE IN THOSE CITIES BELOW 90 %. THE SALES RATIO DETERMINATION
FOR THESE PURPOSES TO BE MADE ON THE BASIS OF A 12 -MONTH PERIOD
SAMPLE WHICH BEGINS NO MORE THAN 18 MONTHS BEFORE THE ASSESSMENT
DATE AND ENDS ON OR BEFORE THE ASSESSMENT DATE. FOR USE IN
FORMULAS, THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD ADOPT THE MEDIAN RATIO INSTEAD OF
AGGREGATE, SINCE IT MAY BE MORE REFLECTIVE OF LOCAL ASSESSING
PRACTICE AND IS LESS SUBJECT TO WIDE VARIATIONS OF SALES, AND
COUNTY WIDE SAMPLING UNLESS A STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF
SALES OCCUR LOCALLY.
THE AMM OBJECTS TO SALES RATIO BEING USED AS A BASIS FOR PENALTY
OR BONUS OF STATE AID FUNDS.
I -F GENERAL FISCAL IMPACT POLICIES
F -1 TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
Tax increment financing has permitted many cities in various parts
of the state to define and carry out rehabilitation, development,
housing, and economic development projects on their own
initiative. It represents the most feasible and effective legal
-7-
strategy which is currently available to cities in preserving and
improving the physical and economic environment in their
communities.
THE AMM BELIEVES THAT PRESENTLY NO SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES ARE
NECESSARY AND RECOMMENDS THAT NO SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES BE MADE BY
THE LEGISLATURE BEYOND FEDERAL LAW REQUIREMENTS.
F -2 FISCAL NOTE CONTINUATION
Many laws are passed each year by the legislature which have a
substantial effect on the financial viability of cities. Some of
these, such as revenue and tax measures, have an obvious and
direct effect which is often calculated and reported during the
hearing process. Many. others, such as worker's compensation
benefit increases, mandated activities, binding arbitration and
other labor related legislation, social programs, etc., have
costs which are not as obvious but which will now be known due to
a fiscal note requirement. Cities and others will now be able to
determine the real cost of a program or suggestion and be able to
use this data in determining the merits.
THE STATE SHOULD CONTINUE A POLICY OF "DELIBERATE RESTRAINT" ON
ITS MANDATED PROGRAMS AND UTILIZE EXTENSIVELY THE RECENTLY
ADOPTED FISCAL NOTE STATUTE IDENTIFYING LOCAL GOVERNMENT COSTS
ON ANY NEW MANDATED PROGRAMS.
F -3 TELEPHONE TAX FOR 911
The 1985 legislature enacted a tax on all telephone service to pay
the state share of capital and trunk costs for the mandated 911
Emergency Telephone Service. As part of the 911 mandate, counties
and local units had to pay equipment costs, line costs, and on
going operating expenses from an already overburdened and limited
general property tax levy. Unlike the state, local units do not
have the authority to recover these ongoing costs. Therefore,
THE AMM REQUESTS THE STATE LEGISLATURE TO INCREASE THE 911
TELEPHONE TAX TO PAY THE LOCAL SHARE FOR EQUIPMENT AND CONTINUING
LINE COST.
F -4 FUNDING SHIFTS
Currently, about 60% of the state's sales and income tax revenue
comes from the Metropolitan Area and 40% from Greater Minnesota.
However, only about 40% of the state aids and credits (LGA, school
aid, homestead credit, county aids, etc.) are received by Metro
Area taxpayers /units of government. For example, although over
60% of the persons who live in cities reside in the Metro Area,
Metro Area cities receive less than 55% of the 1986 LGA. Under
the current formula, this percentage will drop to 50% when the
formula is fully funded.
Likewise, homeowners

in the Metro Area pay almost three times the
meowners elsewhere, and the taxes paid in the
of assessed value is over $60 while elsewhere
"property tax reform " - proposals, including
and School Aid formulas, would increase this
aid disparity between the Metro Area and the
INSTEAD OF GREATLY INCREASING PROPERTY TAX RELIEF PROGRAMS
IN AREAS OF THE STATE WHERE PROPERTY VALUES ARE DECLINING, THESE
COMMUNITIES SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE GIVEN THE DEVELOPMENT TOOLS AND
STATE ASSISTANCE NECESSARY TO INCREASE OR AT LEAST KEEP CONSTANT
THEIR ASSESSED VALUATIONS, THUS IMPROVING THEIR OWN PROPERTY TAX
BASE THROUGH LOCAL EFFORTS.
I -G FISCAL DISPARITIES
G -1 TAX BASE SHARING PROGRAM
The basic premise for the need for a tax base sharing or tax base
redistribution system in this Metropolitan Area, is that much
commercial and industrial (C /I) development occurs based on
location and /or availability of land or particular services. If
the seven county Metropolitan Area were one political and economic
unit, such as the Houston or Omaha areas, the growth of C/I
development in any part would benefit the whole equally and tax
base sharing would be unnecessary. However, in this area with 139
cities plus many townships and school districts that is not the
case. Thus, there are many cities that because they are fully
developed with no room for expansion, or they are located away
from the center of activity without appropriate services, or have
space but are inconvenient from major transportation facilities
cannot attract C/I development. Whereas, others, more favorably
located or serviced cannot keep C/I development away. This
creates a situation, in general, where the tax base value per
area, per household, or per capita is higher, and the taxing
ability of the governmental unit greater, allowing a lower tax
rate or collection of more dollars to provide service. This, also,
creates a situation where two identical C/I facilities could have
a large disparity in their property tax rates.
THE AMM- SUPPORTS -A PROGRAM OR PROGRAMS WHICH CONSTRA -IN TAX- RATE
DISPARITIES IN THE METROPOLITAN REGION WITHIN A REASONABLE RANGE
WITHOUT STIFLING LOCAL INITIATIVES OR UNIQUE COMMUNITY NEEDS.
G -2 OPPOSE DRASTIC CHANGE
To compensate for these disparities, the 1971 legislature passed
the Fiscal Disparities Act, with a rather complicated formula,
whereby 40p of all C/I development and inflation growth from 1971
on is contributed to a Metropolitan Pot and redistributed based on
population and fiscal capacity. After 15 years of operation, the
magnitude of distribution values both in terms of net value
decrease and net value increase is significant for many cities.
If fiscal disparities were repealed in total with no replacement
or adjustments, property taxes in many cities would increase very
significantly just as they would decrease in others.
BECAUSE THE MAGNITUDE OF FISCAL DISPARITY DISTRIBUTION IN TERMS OF
NET VALUE INCREASE AND DECREASE TO MANY CITIES IS SIGNIFICANT, THE
AMM SUGGESTS THAT NO CHANGES BE MADE THAT WOULD CAUSE DRASTIC
SINGLE YEAR SHIFTS IN PROPERTY TAXES.
G -3 FORMULA MODIFICATIONS
The Association of Metropolitan Municipalities has spent two years
of committee work studying. the fiscal disparities formula and the
affects of various modificications to that formula. There are
basically two major policy issues that need to be dealt with in a
package to accommodate the majority of cities. The first is a
fairness or equity question that deals with issues such as the
1971 Base value exemption, equalization of the contribution,
minimum distribution, etc. The second policy issue is the rate of
contribution. The AMM feels that 40,09 is too great especially if
the base against which it is applied is expended. Each variable
factor has a major impact on a certain subset of cities and thus
changes must be done carefully.
THE AMM MEMBERSHIP SUPPORTS MODIFICATION OF THE FISCAL DISPARITIES
FORMULA THROUGH INCLUSION OF SEVERAL FACTORS AS A WHOLE. ANY
CHANGES OTHER THAN THOSE REFERENCED IN AMM GENERAL FISCAL
DISPARITIES POLICIES OR SPECIFIED HEREIN OR ANY DELETION OR
SIGNIFICANT MODIFICATION OF A SPECIFIC FACTOR LISTED HEREIN WILL
RESULT IN THE AMM OPPOSING ANY FISCAL DISPARTIY LEGISLATION UNLESS
OTHERWISE AUTHORIZED BY THE BOARD.OF DIRECTORS.
FORMULA FACTORS:
-PHASE IN 1971 BASE VALUE AT 5% PER YEAR FOR TWENTY YEARS FOR
CONTRIBUTION PURPOSES. THE BASE VALUE FOR SOUTH ST. PAUL SHOULD
BE THE CURRENT VALUE.
-PRE 1979 TIF DISTRICT VALUE FOR EXISTING PROJECTS SHOULD BE INCLUDED FOR
FISCAL DISPARITY CONTRIBUTION WHEN FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO RETIRE THE DEBT.
ALL NEW TIF PROJECTS IN NEW OR EXISTING TIF DISTRICTS SHOULD CONTRIBUTE TO
FISCAL DISPARITIES.
- EXEMPT ALL VACANT LAND FROM CONTRIBUTION.
-10-
- CONTRIBUTION VALUES SHOULD BE EQUALIZED TO 85% BY INCREASING THE
PREVIOUS YEARS RATIO BY UP TO 3% OR THE CURRENT RATIO WHICHEVER IS
GREATER.
-THE SALES RATIO FACTOR SHOULD BE BASED ON A SAMPLE WHICH IS
STATISTICALLY SOUND TO REFLECT ACCURATELY THE REALISTIC LEVEL OF
ASSESSMENT. THIS MAY INCLUDE USING A COUNTY WIDE AVERAGE IF AN
APPROPRIATE NUMBER OF SALES HAS NOT OCCURRED LOCALLY. USE OF THE
MEDIAN RATHER THAN AGGREGATRE RATIO SHOULD BE ADOPTED SINCE
THIS MEASURE IS GENERALLY MORE REFLECTIVE OF LOCAL ASSESSING
PRACTICES AND IS LESS SUBJECT TO WIDE VARIATIONS OF SALES.
- REDUCE THE CONTRIBUTION RATE BY 3% PER YEAR FOR 5 YEARS UNTIL 25%
HAS BEEN REACHED. ALL CONTRIBUTIONS THEREAFTER WILL BE AT THE RATE
OF 25 %.
-THE FISCAL CAPACITY FACTOR SHOULD BE MODIFIED TO INCLUDE
MANUFACTURED HOUSING AND UTILITY VALUE.
-THE POPULATION AND TIMES TWO MULTIPLIER SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM
THE DISTRIBUTION FORMULA AS MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION FACTORS.
-THE TWO DIFFERENT POPULATION YEARS USED TO CALCULATE THE PER
CAPITA MARKET VALUE AND DISTRIBUTION SHOULD REMAIN AS THEY ARE
CURRENTLY WITHIN THE FORMULA.
G -4 TOTAL DISTRIBUTION
There has been some suggestions made to utilize the fiscal
disparity formula as a mechanism to create a separate
transportation or development fund by only distributing 90% of the
tax dollars raised. This would be a hidden property tax.
THE AMM STRONGLY OPPOSES USE OF FISCAL DISPARITIES TO CREATE A
METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTAITON, HIGHWAY, OR DEVELOPMENT FUND.
G -5 ADMINISTRATION
A central agency should be identified to provide administration
for the fiscal disparities program. Currently, program
responsibilities are assigned to county auditors and assessors and
the Minnesota Department of Revenue. While the administrative
auditor commonly is regarded as the office responsible for the
program's administration, the division of responsibility and the
lack of definition surrounding the administrative auditor's
f_unc_tion_s__ and authorities do not c- o- nstitute centralized
administration for the fiscal disparities program. Without a
central program agency, it is difficult to ensure that consistency
is maintained in administration of the program.
THE AMM SUGGESTS THAT THE LEGISLATURE IDENTIFY A CENTRAL AGENCY
- 1 1 -
RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERSEEING THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE FISCAL
DISPARITIES PROGRAM.

II
GENERAL LEGISLATION
II -A LABOR RELATIONS ISSUES (PELRA)
In addition to coverage under the Minnesota Public Employee
Labor Relations Act, public emplioyees find their employment
relationship governed by a number of laws that can conflict with
their collective bargaining rights negotiated under PELRA.
Disciplinary actions against a public employee can be governed by
the veterans preference law, the human rights act, federal
discrimination laws, civil service or merit systems, laws relating
to specific employee classes (i.e. city managers) or specific job
protections (i.e. right to know or workers compensation laws) or
by state and federal due process or implied contract provisions.
A -1 DISCIPLINARY ACTION
PUBLIC EMPLOYEES INCLUDING VETERANS SHOULD HAVE "ONE BITE" IN
GRIEVANCE OR DISCHARGE ACTIONS. THE NEGOTIATED COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING AGREEMENT SHOULD CONTROL THE ACTION, AS LONG AS
STATE AND FEDERAL DUE PROCESS GUARANTEES ARE PRESENT.
THE DISCHARGE PROCEDURES UNDER ANY LAW OR SYSTEM SHOULD BE HELD
BEFORE A NEUTRAL PARTY AND SHOULD BE HANDLED WITHIN 120 DAYS OF
THE DISCIPLINARY ACTION INITIATED BY THE PUBLIC EMPLOYER.
COMPENSATION PAYMENTS AND ACCRUAL OF BENEFITS SHOULD NOT BE
PERMITTED WHERE AN EMPLOYEE HAS BEEN GIVEN NOTICE OF THE
EMPLOYER'S INTENT TO DISCHARGE THE
EMPLOYEE ;OR.STATUTORY PROVISION FOR "JUST CAUSE."
PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEES SHOULD BE TREATED UNIFORMILY, AND
PROVISIONS OF THE VETERANCE PREFERENCE LAW PROHIBITING DISMISSAL
WITHOUT A HEARING DURING THE PROBATION PERIOD SHOULD BE
AMENDED.
THE BUREAU OF MEDIATION SERVICES SHOULD BE PERMITTED TO ENCOURAGE
AN EXPEDITED GRIEVANCE ARBITRATION PROCESS.
A -2 IMPASSE RESOLUTION
PELRA should be amended to encourage successful negotiation of the
"terms and conditions of employment ". Specifically constraints and
artificial time lines on the parties ability to bargain, should be amended.
ALL PUBLIC EMPLOYEES, REGARDLESS OF JOB CLASSIFICATION, SHOULD
HAVE THE RIGHT TO STRIKE. HOWEVER, A STATUTORY MECHANSIM SHOULD
BE PUT IN -PLACE -THAT ALLOWS A PUBLIC EMPLOYER TO ADDRESS PUBLIC
HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE CONCERNS IN THREATENED OR ACTUAL STRIKE
SITUATIONS.
PUBLIC EMPLOYEES SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN MEANINGFUL
MEDIATION UNTIL AN IMPASSE IS DECLARED BY THE MEDIATOR. THE
-13-
ARBITRARY STATUTORY IMPASSE TIMELINES SHOULD BE REPEALED.
PUBLIC EMPLOYEES, AFTER IMPASSE IS DECLARED, SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO
GIVE ONLY ONE NOTICE OF THEIR INTENT TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHT TO
STRIKE. IF THE NOTICE IS GIVEN AND THEY FAIL TO STRIKE DURING THE
STATUTORY PERIOD, THEY WOULD LOSE THEIR RIGHT TO STRIKE
A -3 PICKET LINES
NO PUBLIC EMPLOYEE SHOULD BE GIVEN THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO CROSS A
PICKET LINE
A -4 UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICE CHARGES
REVIEW OF UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICE CHARGES SHOULD BE TRANSFERRED FROM
DISTRICT COURT TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCIES CHARGED WITH
ENFORCING PELRA.
A -5 MEET AND CONFER
The Legislature should encourage joint efforts by public employers
and employees to improve the labor relations atmosphere within
their respective communities and throughout the state.
THE MEET AND CONFER PROVISIONS UNDER PELRA SHOULD BE AMENDED.
ALL CLASSES OF EMPLOYEES, NOT JUST PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES, SHOULD
BE ALLOWED TO MEET WITH THE EMPLOYER ON NON - CONTRACTURAL CONCERNS.
A -6 LABOR- MANAGEMENT RELATIONS
THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD PROMOTE IMPROVED COMMUNICATION AND COOPERATION
BETWEEN EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES BY ENACTING A STATE LABOR- MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM WITHIN THE STATE BUREAU OF INFORMATION SERVICES.
II -B TORT LIABILITY
The Municipal Tort Liability Act was enacted to protect the public
treasury while giving the citizen relief from the arbitrary,
confusing, and administratively expensive prior doctrine of
sovereign immunity with its inconsistent and irrational
distinctions between governmental and proprietary activities. The
acs has served that purpose well in the past, however, courts
frequently forget or ignore the positive benefits secured to
citizens damaged by public servants as a result of enactment of
the comprehensive act which includes some limitations on liability
-14-
and some qualifications of normal tort claims procedure.
The special vulnerability of far -flung government operations
to debilitating tort suits continues to require the existence of a
tort claims act applicable to local governments or local
governments and the state. The need for some type of limitations
is evidenced by recent experiences with the insurance market.
Cities in Minnesota are finding it increasingly difficult to
obtain insurance at an affordable rate, if at all. Amendments in
1983 to increase the dollar amounts recoverable by plaintiffs
should be adequate to satisfy any reasonable claim. Further
changes in limits should not be made.
The area of joint and several liability does however need review.
It is not in the best interest of the general taxpayer nor is it
good policy to maintain a system where deep pockets, the city
(public taxpayers), is held financially liable well beyond its
actual fault. Finally, city elected and appointed officials are
often the subject of lawsuits demanding punitive damages. It is
only reasonable that if through their duty they are subjected to
this risk the city should not only be responsible for defense but
also for the punitive damage if one is awarded.
THE AMM SUPPORTS THE CONTINUED EXISTANCE OF THE MUNICIPAL TORT
LIABILITY ACT AND RECOMMENDS THAT THE CURRENT LIMITS OF LIABILITY
REMAIN INTACT.
THE AMM URGES THE LEGISLATURE TO REVIEW THE JOINT AND SEVERAL
LIABILITY ISSUE AND MODIFY IT SO THAT CITIES AND THEIR TAXPAYERS
ARE NOT UNFAIRLY SUBJECTED TO DEEP POCKET AWARDS.
FINALLY, THE AMM REQUESTS THE LEGISLATURE TO PROVIDE THE
OPTION FOR CITIES TO PAY PUNITIVE DAMAGES AWARDED AGAINST CITY
ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS ARISING FROM ACTS PERFORMED IN
THEIR OFFICIAL CAPACITY.
II -C DATA PRIVACY AND OPEN MEETING
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 law suits with an attorney or labor
negotiations. Unfortunately, many occasions have arisen in past
years -- where_ local- units- in dealing with individuals or employee
disciplinary matters have been forced to either violate the Data
Privacy Statutes or the Open Meeting Statute in order to fairly
resolve the issue.
THE AMM REQUESTS THE LEGISLATURE TO MAKE THE DATA PRIVACY AND OPEN
-15-
MEETING LAWS CONSISTENT SO THAT TO COMPLY WITH ONE LAW A CITY
SHOULD NOT HAVE TO VIOLATE THE OTHER. FURTHER, THE AMM STRONGLY
SUPPORTS LEGISLATION FAVORING DATA PRIVACY OVER OPEN MEETING WHERE
CONFLICTS ARISE TO PROTECT THE EMPLOYEES RIGHT OF CONFIDENTIALITY
FOR PERSONAL AND PRIVATE DATA AS IS DONE IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND
SECURED BY FEDERAL LAW.
II -D POLICE AND FIRE PENSION PROVISIONS
Local police and full -time fire relief associations were phased
out by the 1980 legislature, unless the local council opts to keep
the relief association. All new employees will become part of the
state police and fire PERA fund and the state will reimburse local
units for a ortion of the unfunded liability remaining in the
local fund. Employee contributions were set at 8 %. However, the
Legislative Retirement Commission has in the past established a
general policy requiring public safety employees to pay 40% of the
normal pension costs. These changes have greatly helped solve a
most serious problem but a few minor adjustments are still
necessary. The AMM believes that:
D -1 PORTABILITY
SOME FORM OF PORTABILITY INTO THE PERA POLICE AND FIRE FUND SHOULD
BE PROVIDED TO MEMBERS OF LOCAL POLICE AND FIRE RELIEF
ASSOCIATIONS IF THEY TAKE A PUBLIC SAFETY POSITION IN ANOTHER
GOVERNMENTAL UNIT BEFORE THEIR PENSION BENEFITS ARE VESTED. THE
LAW SHOULD ALSO BE AMENDED TO PERMIT A MEMBER OF THE PERA POLICE
AND FIRE FUND TO CONTINUE PERA COVERAGE WHEN THE MEMBER TAKES A
PUBLIC SAFETY POSITION IN A CITY WITH A LOCAL RELIEF ASSOCIATION.
D -2 EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT
EVEN THOUGH THE EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT WAS SET AT 8 %, IN
MANY FUNDS THIS IS NOT EQUIVALENT TO 40% OF THE NORMAL COSTS. THE
AMM URGES THAT THE CONTRIBUTION LEVEL BE SET AT 40% OF THE NORMAL
COST OF FINANCING THE BENEFITS EVEN IF THIS AMOUNT EXCEEDS 8% OF
BASE SALARY. ANY INCREASE IN� BENEFITS FOR CURRENT EMPLOYEES
INCLUDING ANY RESULTING DEFICIT, SHOULD BE FINANCED 50% BY THE
EMPLOYING CITY AND 50% BY EMPLOYEES ON A CURRENT BASIS.
II -E OPPOSE STATE OR METROPOLITAN LICENSING OF GENERAL TRADE
CONTRACTORS
Licensing of general trade contractors and various other
activities has long been a local prerogative, and the mechanism
for license review, issuance, and enforcement is already in place.
The primary reason that local licensing has been successful and,
therefore, maintained at the local level, is that inspection and
enforcement personnel reside at the local level, know the area and
activities, and are familiar with local ordinance and
i :E
restrictions, thus providing better and faster enforcement.
Suggestions have been made to form a statewide or metropolitan
wide licensing authority and split the revenue among the licensing
agency and various municipalities with the municipalities
maintaining enforcement tasks. It is questionable under this
arrangement, if either the agency or municipalities would have
enough funds to accomplish the respective tasks. In these times
of economic stress it does not seem logical to increase
participation in an area that has and is being handled
effectively at the local level. Therefore,
THE AMM STRONGLY OPPOSES STATE OR METROPOLITAN TAKEOVER OF GENERAL
TRADE CONTRACTOR AND OTHER ASSOCIATED TRADE CONTRACTOR LICENSING.
II -F EMPLOYEE DISABILITY - LOCAL POLICE AND FIRE FUNDS
A number of cities with local police and fire pension funds are
experiencing a problem with employees receiving disability
payments from the local fund and full worker's compensation
payments totaling more in after tax take home pay than if they
were working. PERA police and fire employees are prohibited by
law from receiving greater pay while on disability than while
working, but Minnesota Statutes 424.27 specifically prohibits
cities with local plans from correcting the above situation. This
quirk in the law is a costly one for cities and provides impetus
for marginally disabled employees to stay home. Why work when you
can make more by not working? Therefore,
THE AMM URGES THE LEGISLATURE TO CORRECT MINNESOTA STATUTE 424.27
TO ELIMINATE THE ABILITY OF AN EMPLOYEE IN A LOCAL POLICE OR FIRE
FUND TO RECEIVE DOUBLE DISABILITY PAYMENTS WHICH EXCEED THE NORMAL
AFTER TAX WORKING INCOME. FURTHER, THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD CLARIFY
AND ESTABLISH STANDARDS SIMILAR TO PERA FOR DETERMINING
DISABILITY.
II -G YOUTH SERVICE BUREAUS
Youth Service Bureaus operating within or by joint powers
agreement among a small number of communities and sponsored
initially through federal and state grants have proven successful
in curbing increased incidence of repetitive youth offense,
especially because of the ease and speed of access for local
clients. However, this concept is endangered due to funding
limitations caused in part by levy limit restrictions which do not
allow flexibility to start new programs or allow funding when
Federal Grants run out and in part through decreasing state
grants. The legislature should encourage local governments to
sponsor Youth Service Bureau type activities as a help and buffer
to the court system and a preventative for habitual youth offense.
THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD REVERSE THE PAST FEW YEARS TREND AND
-17-
INCREASE THE STATE GRANT PROGRAM FUNDING FOR YOUTH SERVICE BUREAU
ACTIVITIES. ADDITIONALLY, FOR THE PROGRAMS TO SUCCEED, LOCAL
UNITS MUST BE PROVIDED THE ABILITY TO FUND THESE PROGRAMS THROUGH
THE LOCAL PROPERTY TAX LEVY BY USE OF A SPECIAL LEVY OR BASE
INCREASE.',
II -H WINE IN GROCERY STORE
Sale of wine in grocery or fast food stores would create many
problems of control for local units of government since minors
have a significantly higher employment rate in these
establishments. A local option on sales is also unworkable,
particularly where cities share borders and are densely located.
THE AMM OPPOSES PROVISION FOR THE OFF -SALE OF WINE IN
OTHER THAN LIQUOR STORES.
II -I ONE CLASS OF BEER
Legislation has been proposed in past years to eliminate the
manufacture and sale of 3.2 beer in Minnesota. If this were done
substantial problems could arise in control of the sale of strong
beer in service stations, grocery stores, drugstores, and
elsewhere that 3.2 beer is presently sold.
THE AMM OPPOSES THE ELIMINATION OF 3.2 BEER SALES IN MINNESOTA.
SHOULD THE MANUFACTURE AND SALE OF 3.2 BEER BE ELIMINATED IN THE
STATE OF MINNESOTA, THE AMM STRONGLY URGES CONTINUED LOCAL CONTROL
OF LICENSING AND WOULD OPPOSE LEGISLATION MANDATING OR
GRANDFATHERING LICENSING OF 3.2 BEER SALES LOCATIONS WHERE THE
PRINICPAL PRODUCT IS NOT STRONG ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.
II -J OPPOSE INITIATIVE - REFERENDUM FOR ZONING ORDINANCES
The Municipal Planning Act has been interpreted to allow for
initiative and referendum (IR) in cities with charter provisions
allowing for IR. There is eveidence that this interpretation has
interferred with cities' efforts to achieve their planning and
development goals, particularly in the housing field in the
metropolitan area.
First, the statutory procedure on zoning ordinances provides ample
opportunity for the participation of both the general public and
individual property owners in decisions relating to zoning
ordinances or the Municipal Comprehensive Plan. It is
inappropriate to allow such a long deliberative process to be
overturned by a relatively few voters who may have narrow
interests in the issue.
Second, the clear intent of the existing planning law is that
zoning ordinances and amendments not be subject to IR. Without a
clear uniform statutory procedure for the implementation of
municipal planning, statutory and charter cities will be subject
to different procedures and the intent of the act will not be
realized. Therefore,
THE AMM SUPPORTS AN AMENDMENT TO THE MUNICIPAL PLANNING ACT TO
PROVIDE THAT ZONING ORDINANCES AND AMENDMENTS NOT BE SUBJECT TO
CITY CHARTER PROVISIONS ON INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.
II -K PLUMBING INSPECTIONS
Currently plumbing inspections are being handled as a routine
part of the overall inspections done through city Building
Inspection Programs. No special requirements exist other than
normal certification of the Building Inspector. Electrical
inspections are done by State Electrical Inspectors. In 1985 the
Senate passed and the House considered a bill to require plumbing
inspections be done by licensed plumbers Where this is currently
done, plumbing permit costs are significantly higher.
THE AMM OPPOSES MANDATING BY THE STATE THAT ALL PLUMBING
INSPECTIONS BE DONE BY LICENSED PLUMBERS AS UNNECESSARY AND OVERLY
EXPENSIVE. THE AMM WOULD SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF AN APPROPRIATE
PLUMBING INSPECTION TEST AND CERTIFICATION BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
ADMINISTRATION FOR PLUMBERS AND /OR CURRENT BUILDING INSPECTORS IF
THERE IS PROVIDED ADEQUATE TIME AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR
CURRENT INSPECTORS TO BECOME CERTIFIED.
II -L POLICE OFFICER STANDARDS
Since the adoption of uniform standards of training and licensing
for police officers in 1978 many positive changes have been made
to allow a wide range of people to qualify to be police officers
in Minnesota. However, one area is still a significant problem,
protected class recruitment, specifically Black and Hispanic
minorities. Because of the education requirements, people must
decide or be recruited early in the post secondary education time
frame, to qualify in police work. - Neither POST nor cities are in
the position of being able to induce or recruit people into the
appropriate eductional track at the approipriate time and the
University /College system is not doing so either. Therefore,
protected class hiring is very difficult.
THE AMM SUGGESTS THE LEGISLATURE ESTABLISH A STUDY TO DETERMINE
METHODS TO ENCOURAGE RECRUITMENT AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE POST
SECONDARY - - -- EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM OF PROTECTED CLASS PERSONS FOR
CAREERS IN POLICE WORK.
II -M LAND SALES BY COMPETITIVE BID
Legislation introduced in 1985 required that any land sold by a
-19-
city would have to have three weeks published notice and sold at
the most favorable bid to the city. All bids could be rejected.
The bill did not consider development activities such as TIF, HUD,
etc. or what happens if no bid is received. Nor did it consider
cases where small or unbuildable parcels exist that should be
handled through negotiated sales or trades with neighboring
property owners.
THE AMM OPPOSES IMPOSITION OF A MANDATED COMPETITIVE BIDDING
PROCESS FOR SALE OF LAND BY CITIES.
II -N CHARITABLE GAMBLING ENFORCEMENT FEES
Since the establishment of the State Gambling Board and
liberalization of charitable gambling permitted within various
establishments, there has been a significant increase in local
enforcement needs and costs.
THE AMM URGES THE LEGISLATURE TO MODIFY THE CHARITABLE GAMBLING
STATUTE TO PROVIDE LOCAL UNITS WITH A SHARE OF THE ANNUAL STATE
TAX PROCEEDS FOR 'ENFORCEMENT PURPOSES.
II -0 TORRENS PROPERTY DEREGISTRATION
In all but counties containing a city of the first class
deregistration of Torrens property may be done in a reasonably
easy and quick manor through application and hearing in district
court. After reconciling any discrepancies the court may order a
certificate of title and recording with the registrar of deeds.
In counties containing a city of the first class the process is
somewhat differant administratively and in Ramsey county has
become drawn out, between 2.5 and 3 years on the average. This
is a significant problem for redevelopment where re- registration
or replatting is necessary.
THE AMM REQUESTS THAT THE PROCESS FOR DEREGISTRATION OF TORRENS
PROPERTY IN COUNTIES CONTAINING CITIES OF THE FIRST CLASS BE
STREAMLINED THRU LEGISLATION SIMILAR TO OTHER COUNTIES OR
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE.
II -P SHADE TREE DISEASE CONTROL PROGRAM
Starting in 1977 the legislature made a strong commitment to
control Dutch Elm and Oak Wilt tree diseases by enacting an
excellent Shade Tree Disease Control program and backing that
legislation with sufficient funding to bring the diseases under
control. However, due to lack of financing in the most recent
past, Dutch Elm disease is once again spreading rapidly as it has
in other areas of the country when financial commitment has
stopped. Therefore, the AMM urges the legislature to:
IP&M
P -1 PROGRAM CONTINUATION
CONTINUE THE SHADE TREE DISEASE CONTROL LEGISLATION WITH NO
CHANGES AND TO PERMIT CITIES TO USE SPECIAL LEVIES, SPECIAL
ASSESSMENTS, AND OTHER SOURCES TO FUND LOCAL CONTROL PROGRAMS.
P -2 GRANT FUNDING
THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD ONCE AGAIN MAKE SHADE TREE DISEASE CONTROL
A TOP PRIORITY ISSUE AND RE -ENACT THE GRANT PROGRAM AT A
SUFFICIENT LEVEL TO ACHIEVE A 50% SANITATION AND REFORESTATION
TARGET LEVEL.
II -Q TREE REMOVAL AND TREATMENT LICENSING
The high incidence of Dutch Elm and Oak Wilt disease has
understandably caused a large increase in the activity and numbers
of firms in the tree removal and treatment service business.
Several proposals have been made to initiate metropolitan or
statewide licensing and setting of standards. The Association
does concur that some form of consumer and worker protection, as
well as control of chemical treatment activities, would be
advisable. However, we would oppose mandatory licensing on state
or metropolitan level. Licensing of contractors and various
activities has long been a local prerogative and the mechanism for
license review, issuance and enforcement is already in place. The
primary reason that local licensing has been successful and,
therefore, maintained at the local level, is that inspection and
enforcement personnel reside at the local level and are much more
familiar with the area and activities thus providing better and
faster enforcement. Most local units currently have a tree
inspector and some form of control /removal program. It then
logically follows that licensing could most economically and
efficiently be initiated and enforced at this level.
Q -1 ORDINANCE CONTROL
THE ASSOCIATION URGES MUNICIPALITIES TO ADOPT TREE REMOVAL AND
TREATMENT LICENSING PROCEDURES FOR THE PROTECTION OF PROPERTY
OWNERS, THE GENERAL PUBLIC, AND EMPLOYEES OR FIRMS ENGAGED IN THAT
SERVICE. TO THAT END, THE ASSOCIATION HAS DEVELOPED AND WILL MAKE
AVAILABLE TO INTERESTED MUNICIPALITIES A MODEL ORDINANCE SETTING
STANDARDS AND REGULATING THE ACTIVITIES OF TREE REMOVAL AND
TREATMENT FIRMS.
Q -2 LOCAL LICENSING
THE ASSOCIATION STRONGLY SUPPORTS TREE REMOVAL AND TREATMENT
LICENSING AT THE PREROGATIVE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT BUT DOES STRONGLY
OPPOSE INITIATION OF MANDATORY LICENSING AND /OR LICENSING AT THE
STATE OF METROPOLITAN LEVEL. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE STATE
-21-
STATE OF METROPOLITAN LEVEL. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE STATE
ESTABLISH UNIFORM MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR SHADE TREE TREATMENT
CONTRACTORS AND BUSINESSESS.
Q -3 REVOCATION
RECOGNIZING THAT THERE ARE EFFORTS ON THE PART OF SOME TO
LEGISLATE STATE OR METROPOLITAN WIDE LICENSING, THE AMM URGES THAT
IF AREA WIDE LICENSING IS CONSIDERED, THAT A PROVISION BE
INCLUDED ALLOWING A LOCAL UNIT TO REVOKE THE LICENSE PROVISIONS
WITHIN ITS JURISDICTION.

HOUSING IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA
PAGE 23 THROUGH 27
III
HOUSING IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA
HOUSING PROBLEM DEFINITION
Affordable housing is a metropolitan problem of major
proportions according to data compiled by the Metropolitan
Council and the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. There are
strong indications that under existing conditions, the total
need for housing or the need of the lower income segment will
not be met. There is an equally important problem of
maintaining and re -using existing housing stock effectively.
The Federal and State Governments appear to be reducing their
financial commitments for housing for low and moderate income
persons and this will intensify the housing shortage problem
for those unable to purchase or rent at market rates. Local
units of government do not have the financial capability to
assume the shortfall in Federal and State provided subsidies.
The housing problem for persons unable to afford market rate
housing can only be solved if all levels of government and
the private sector work together and if each contributes a
fair share to the solution.
Each level of government should contribute to help solve the
problem and each level's contributions should be of the kind
it is best suited to make. The Federal and State Levels
should continue to provide most of the direct subsidies for low
and moderate income persons. The Federal and State
Governments also have the responsibility to provide a tax
climate in which the private sector can produce rental units
that are affordable to low and moderate income households.
The State should also grant local units of government the
authority and flexibility to conduct the kind of housing
programs that best meets their diverse needs.
The Metropolitan Council should continue to place high
priority on housing planning for the Metropolitan Area and
provide specific guidance to the public and private sectors so
that both can make rational decisions relative to future
housing needs. The council should continue to be agressive
in seeking inovative ways to create housing opportunities for
low income persons.
Local units of Government also have a strong role to play.
Land use controls constitute a small portion of the total
cost of housing but local units should not set requirements
which go beyond what is necessary for the protection of
health, safety and welfare. Local units should also work
with the private sector to make the best use of existing
tools (revenue bonds, tax increment financing, etc.) to
produce housing which is more affordable.
U
Decision makers at all levels of government must become more
cognizant of their actions, policies, and decisions which have
-23-
an indirect but substantial impact on housing costs.
III -A EXAMINE LOCAL REQUIREMENTS
Local requirements, if excessive, could increase the cost of
producing housing and all participants in the housing
delivery system need to do their part to hold costs down.
COMMUNITIES SHOULD EXAMINE THEIR LOCAL REQUIREMENTS (LAND
USE REGULATIONS, SUBDIVISION ORDINANCES, ETC.) TO ASSURE
THAT THESE REQUIREMENTS DO NOT GO BEYOND WHAT IS NECESSARY FOR
THE PROTECTION OF HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE, AND
INHIBIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING. MODIFICATIONS
SHOULD BE MADE WHEN APPROPRIATE.
III -B PRACTICES WHICH INCREASE HOUSING COSTS
Decision makers at various levels of government must become
more cognizant of actions they take which have an indirect but
substantial impact on housing costs. These actions in
themselves may , be worthwhile and beneficial, but when
implemented result in increased housing costs. Examples of
this type of action would include such things as the sewer
availability charge, restricted growth policies, building and
energy codes, environmental rules, etc.
ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT SHOULD EXAMINE THEIR PRACTICES AND
POLICIES TO DETERMINE POSSIBLE HIDDEN IMPACTS ON HOUSING
COSTS OF SAID PRACTICES AND POLICIES NOT DIRECTLY RELATED
TO HOUSING. CHANGES SHOULD BE MADE AS NECESSARY.
III -C MANDATORY STANDARDS AND ALTERNATIVE HOUSING
Mandatory, uniform standards for housing style, type and
location are not appropriate because of the great diversity
among cities and differences within cities relative to state
of development, topography, lot and dwelling sizes, the mix of
housing values and costs, and the .level of municipal services
which are provided.
Land use regulation is one of the tools city officials need to
protect the health, safety, welfare, and interests of the
city's residents.
THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD NOT PASS LEGISLATION WHICH . SETS
MANDATORY ZONING AND SUBDIVISION STANDARDS OR WHICH REMOVES
ADDITIONAL LAND USE REGULATION AUTHORITY FROM LOCAL UNITS
OF GOVERNMENT. CITIES SHOULD RETAIN THE AUTHORITY TO REGULATE
THE LOCATION, SIZE, AMOUNT, AND TYPE OF HOUSING INCLUDING
MANUFACTURED AND ACCESSORY HOUSING, WITHIN THEIR BOUNDARIES.
-24-
III -D FINANCING STATE AND REGIONAL HOUSING POLICIES
Property taxes provide the major revenue source for most cities
in the Metropolitan Area and the Minnesota property Tax System
is one of the most complex systems in the nation.
Unfortunately, the Legislature often times adds to the
complexity of this system by changing it to benefit certain
persons as a means to implement or finance social policy. The
AMM believes that the property tax system is not the
appropriate mechanism to finance state or regional housing
policies and goals.
THE AMM OPPOSES THE USE OF THE PROPERTY TAX SYSTEM TO FINANCE
OR IMPLEMENT STATE OR REGIONAL HOUSING POLICIES OR GOALS.
STATE AND /OR REGIONAL HOUSING POLICIES AND GOALS SHOULD BE
IMPLEMENTED AND FINANCED BY NON- PROPERTY TAX SOURCES.
III -E FEDERAL AND STATE HOUSING FUNDING
The Federal and State levels of government have a broader and
more diverse tax base than local units of government and should
provide the necessary funding to fulfill their housing policy
commitments to lower income persons. This funding commitment
is needed to provide adequate housing for those persons unable
to afford market rate housing.
FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDING FOR HOUSING SHOULD BE PROVIDED TO
IMPLEMENT THE HOUSING POLICIES OF THOSE LEVELS AND MATCH THE
NEEDS OF THOSE PERSONS REQUIRING ASSISTED HOUSING INCLUDING
ASSISTANCE FOR RENOVATING AND REHABILITATING SUBSTANDARD
HOUSING UNITS.
III -F AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOCAL HOUSING PROGRAMS
There is a great diversity among the cities in the metropolitan
area. Some cities need more housing for low and moderate
income persons while other cities need more housing for middle
and upper income persons. Cities should have the authority to
promote whichever kind of housing is within the public purpose
and best interest of the city. State and federal agencies
should cooperate with cities in developing workable
programs to meet the diverse needs of cities. Cities need to
have more control over the cost of housing being developed if
they are to meet the intent of the Metropolitan Land Planning
Act. Municipalities may be able to require reduced cost
housing, but it is preferable to have this authority
specified directly by statute.
CITIES SHOULD BE GRANTED SUFFICIENT AUTHORITY AND FLEXIBILITY
BY THE LEGISLATURE TO CONDUCT HOUSING PROGRAMS THAT MEET THE
DIFFERING NEEDS OF DIVERSE CITIES AND THAT ENABLE CITIES TO
-25-
COMPLY WITH THE METROPOLITAN LAND PLANNING ACT WHICH
DIRECTS CITIES TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY FOR LOW AND MODERATE COST
HOUSING. CITIES SHOULD BE ALLOWED, TO REQUIRE LOWER COST
HOUSING IN PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS AND TO REQUIRE THE
DEDICATION OF LAND OR CASH FOR LOW AND MODERATE INCOME
HOUSING AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE REQUIRED DEDICATION FOR
PARKS. ALSO, CITIES SHOULD HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DEVELOP
HOUSING FOR MIDDLE AND UPPER INCOME PERSONS IF THAT IS NEEDED
TO ACHIEVE A BALANCED HOUSING STOCK. CITIES SHOULD CONTINUE
TO HAVE AUTHORITY TO-USE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING TO ACHIEVE
GOALS FOR LOW AND MODERATE INCOME HOUSING.
III -G RENTAL HOUSING IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA
Rental housing plays an important role in the Twin Cities
housing market. Approximately 35 per cent of the housing units
in the Twin Cities region are rental units. Traditionally,
rental units have provided an affordable housing option for
singles, young adults, young married, students, the elderly,
and low and moderate income households. Rental housing
units serve a market much more diverse than that served by
owner occupied units. Yet over the past several years a
number of problems have developed in the rental market,
including:
1. A reduction in the rate of new rental units being produced.
2. Lack of mobility for households to move from rental to
ownership status.
3. The combination of few additions to the supply of rental
units, increased competition for rental units, conversion
.of rental units to condominiums and increased operating
costs, has created a situation where many rental units are
not an affordable option for low and moderate income
households.
4. The supply of existing rental units, which is
predominately efficiency and one bedroom units, does not
adequately address the needs of families seeking rental
units.
ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT SHOULD BECOME INVOLVED TO
SUCCESSFULLY ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS IN THE RENTAL HOUSING MARKET.
IN PARTICULAR, THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE CRUCIAL
ROLES IN PROVIDING AN OVERALL INVESTMENT CLIMATE IN WHICH
THE PRIVATE SECTOR CAN PRODUCE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF RENTAL
UNITS. POSSIBLE ACTIONS INCLUDE:
MODIFYING FEDERAL AND STATE TAX POLICIES TO IMPROVE THE
PRODUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING.
-26-
INCREASING THE LEVEL OF FUNDING ASSISTANCE AIMED AT
GIVING LOW AND MODERATE INCOME FAMILIES ACCESS TO DECENT
HOUSING.
- CONTINUING PROGRAMS WHICH USE TAX EXEMPT BONDING TO CREATE
BELOW MARKET RATE FUNDS.FOR RENTAL HOUSING.
CONTINUING PROGRAMS WHICH ALLOW REHABILITATION AND
WEATHERIZATION PROGRAMS TO BE UTILIZED ON RENTAL UNITS.
GRANTING LOCAL UNITS MORE AUTHORITY TO REGULATE THE
CONVERSION OF RENTAL UNITS TO CONDOMINIUMS.
III -H ASSESSMENT RATES FOR RENTAL PROPERTY
The Multi- housing association and other groups have been
advocating lower assessment rates for rental housing. A number
of Legislators have also been examining this matter with a
particular focus on the difference in rates between rental
housing and owner occupied housing which results in higher
property taxes for rental housing. The AMM is very concerned
about the affordability or rental housing for lower income
persons and does not oppose a thoughtfull study of this issue.
THE AMM BELIEVES ANY LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL WHICH WOULD REDUCE
THE TAXES FOR RENTAL PROPERTY SHOULD CONTAIN THE FOLLOWING
CONCEPTS: A CLEAR DIRECT LINKAGE BETWEEN THE REDUCTION OF
TAXES AND THE AFFORDABILITY OF THE UNIT WITH RESPECT TO NEW
CONSTRUCTION; A CLEAR DIRECT LINKAGE TO LOWER RENTS IF APPLIED
TO EXISTING HOUSING; FULL DISCLOSURE OF REVENUE IMPLICATIONS
FOR LOCAL UNITS OF GOVERNMENT.
-27-
METROPOLITAN AREA ISSUES AND CONCERNS
PAGE 28 THROUGH 41
IV
METROPOLITAN AREA ISSUES & CONCERNS
IV. PHILOSOPHY WITH RESPECT TO METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES
Some metropolitan issues are beyond the scope of a single
governing body. Therefore, when such issues arise, it is in the
interest of all concerned for governing units to cooperate in
reaching a solution.
There are a few problems which are of such magnitude that they
encompass the concerns of the entire metropolitan area and such
problems and issues must necessarily be dealt with by a
metropolitan unit. That unit, however should act in cooperation
with local governing bodies by attempting to identify the best
solution before determining courses of action. Metropolitan
Agencies and Local Governmental Units should be viewed as partners
with each respecting the role of the other in solving these
problems.
IV -A PURPOSE OF METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES
The political fragmentation of this metropolitan area and the
diverse fiscal conditions, geographic locations, and size of the
local units of government results in the need for a regional
service delivery system to provide certain services or portions of
certain services to most effectively and efficiently satisfy the
needs of the residents living in this area. Examples of this type
of regional service needs are the prevention of pollution,
provision of certain transportation functions, etc. There is
also a need for some planning on a metropolitan basis which must
be done in cooperation with local government. The federal and
state governments require that some grant applications be reviewed
by a regional agency to determine consistency of these
applications with regional plans and programs.
THE PRIMARY AND PREDOMINATE PURPOSES OF THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL
AND METROPOLITAN AGENCIES SHOULD BE TO COORDINATE THE PLANNING
AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE METROPOLITAN AREA: TO PROVIDE WITHOUT
NEEDLESS DUPLICATION THOSE AREA WIDE SERVICES WHICH ARE BEYOND THE
CAPABILITY OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL UNITS TO PROVIDE INDIVIDUALLY AND
JOINTLY: TO PROVIDE AREA WIDE PLANNING WHERE NECESSARY WITH
COOPERATION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL UNITS: AND TO FULFILL THE
REGIONAL REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES FOR GRANTS AND LOANS AS DIRECTED
BY THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS.
IV -B CRITERIA FOR EXTENSION OF METROPOLITAN ORGANIZATION POWERS
There is a natural tendency of any organization to seek more
authority in both breadth and depth; therefore, increased
authority to the Council and its agencies should contain carefully
considered specific direction.
I:E
THE LEGISLATURE, IN GRANTING THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL ADDITIONAL
AUTHORITY TO UNDERTAKE AN ACTIVITY, SHOULD SPECIFICALLY STATE THE
AUTHORITY BEING GRANTED AND NOT INCLUDE GENERAL LEGISLATIVE
LANGUAGE SUCH AS... "INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SUCH MATTERS
AS..."
ANY EXPANSION OR EXTENSION OF AUTHORITY SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ONLY
WHEN AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS EXISTS:
-THE SERVICE, FUNCTION, OR ACTIVITY HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BE NEEDED
AND IT CAN BE DEMONSTRATED THAT IT CANNOT BE EFFECTIVELY OR
EFFICIENTLY PROVIDED OR ADMINISTERED THROUGH EXISTING GENERAL
PURPOSE UNITS OF GOVERNMENT.
- INTERVENTION ON A REGIONAL BASIS IS NEEDED FOR PROTECTION OF THE
REGIONAL INVESTMENT IN THE METROPOLITAN PHYSICAL SERVICE SYSTEM.
IV -C STRUCTURES, PLANNING, IMPLEMENTATION AND FUNDING OF
METROPOLITAN SERVICES AND PROGRAMS
The Metropolitan Council was established by the Legislature in
1967 to coordinate "the planning and development" of the
Metropolitan Area. The Council, as initially established, was
mostly advisory but was given responsibility for regional policy
development and coordination in the areas of wastewater treatment
and disposal, land transportation and airports. The Council was
given limited approval authority for development proposals which
were of metropolitan (regional) significance.. The Council, in
its infancy, was given no direct operational authority and
instead the Legislature created two new Metropolitan Commissions
(MWCC and MTC) and restructured the MAC to actually operate and
provide those services. In subsequent sessions, the Metropolitan
Council's responsibility was expanded to include regional parks
and open space, solid waste, regional review authority, approval
authority for controlled access highways and approval authority
for certain elements (airports, transportation, parks and open
space, and sewers) of local comprehensive plans. However, the
Council was not given operational or implementation authority in
these areas. There was one exception to this general division of
responsibility: the Council was given regional HRA operational
authority but the Council can only operate this authority in a
city at the request of that city.
C -1 POLICY PLANNING - POLICY IMPLEMENTATION
The historic legislative intent concerning separation of
responsibility for metropolitan (regional) policy planning and
policy implementation should be reaffirmed.
THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL SHOULD BE A PLANNING AND COORDINATING
-29-
BODY; AND REGIONAL PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION AND OPERATIONS SHOULD
BE CARRIED OUT THROUGH THE EXISTING METROPOLITAN AGENCIES AND /OR
GENERAL PURPOSE UNITS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
C -2 METROPOLITAN STRUCTURE AND STRUCTURAL RELATIONSHIPS
The structure of the various Metropolitan Agencies and
Commissions (MAC, MWCC, RTB, MPOSC, etc.) is not uniform nor are
the interrelationships between these agencies and the
Metropolitan Council uniform. Function has basically determined
form and the AMM does not believe that uniformity just for the
sake of uniformity is important.
THE AMM DOES RECOMMEND, HOWEVER, THAT THE LEGISLATURE EXAMINE
THREE SPECIFIC ASPECTS OF THE METROPOLITAN STRUCTURE AND
INTERRELATIONSHIPS TO DETERMINE IF CHANGE WOULD ENHANCE AND
IMPROVE REGIONAL PLANNING /SERVICE DELIVERY. THESE ASPECTS
ARE: MOST APPROPRIATE APPOINTING AUTHORITY FOR THE CHAIRS OF THE
MWCC, MSFC AND THE RTB; MOST APPROPRIATE APPOINTING AUTHORITY
FOR THE CHAIR AND MAC COMMISSIONERS; AND THE LARGE DEGREE OF
INDEPENDENCE THAT MAC HAS FROM METROPOLITAN COUNCIL OVERSIGHT AS
COMPARED TO THE RTB AND MWCC.
C -3 FUNDING FOR REGIONALLY PROVIDED SERVICES
The Metropolitan Council and the Metropolitan Agencies .funding
has evolved over a period of time and is a mixture of property
taxes, user fees, federal and state pass through revenues, etc.
There has been some discussion to replace these sources with a
single new revenue source.
THE AMM WOULD OPPOSE THE IMPOSITION OF A SINGLE REVENUE SOURCE
TO FUND REGIONAL SERVICES AS A NEW SOURCE OR AS A REPLACEMENT FOR
THE PRESENT FUNDING SCHEME.
C -4 REGIONAL TAX RATES AND USER FEES.
The Legislature controls the maximum tax rates that can be
levied by the Metropolitan Council and the other Metropolitan
Agencies. We believe it should continue to do so. User fees are
generally controlled by the Metropolitan Agency collecting the
fees (MAC, MWCC and MTC) but the Legislature has on occasion
imposed caps on the user fees. The setting of user fees, and the
process for setting fees has generally not been considered a
problem by local officials except for the user fees controlled by
the MWCC. A major management study and rate study have been
conducted of the MWCC. Based on the foregoing, the AMM believes
that:
USER FEES FOR REGIONAL SERVICES SHOULD NOT BE SET BY THE
LEGISLATURE BUT SHOULD BE DETERMINED BY THE OPERATING AGENCY
-30-
PROVIDING THE SERVICE. USER FEE CHARGES SHOULD BE REVIEWED BY
THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL TO ENSURE THAT SUCH CHARGES ARE
CONSISTENT WITH REGIONAL SYSTEM PLANS AND GOALS. A UNIFORM
PROCESS /PROCEDURE SHOULD BE DEVELOPED FOR USER FEE CHANGES UNDER
GUIDANCE OF THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC'S
INTEREST IN THIS MATTER.
IV -D METROPOLITAN GOVERNANCE ACCOUNTABILITY
There has been a concern since the creation of the Metropolitan
Governance system in 1967 with respect to the accountability of
this "system" to the people it serves and to the Legislature
which created the system. The AMM has been a leader in seeking
ways to improve accountability of this system in the confines of
a process that does not have the traditional checks and balances
of the ballot box. Substantial changes were made by the
Legislature in 1986 which should lead to improved accountability
and service delivery.
THE AMM COMMENDS THE LEGISLATURE FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS MADE DURING
THE LAST SESSION AND DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT ADDITIONAL SUBSTANTIAL
CHANGES DEALING WITH "ACCOUNTABILITY" SHOULD BE MADE UNTIL THERE
HAS BEEN SUFFICIENT EXPERIENCE WITH THE PRESENT SYSTEM TO
DETERMINE THE NEED FOR FURTHER CHANGE. (THE STUDY ITEMS LISTED IN
POLICY IV C -2 WOULD BE AN EXCEPTION IF SUCH STUDY INDICATES THAT
CHANGES WOULD BE BENEFICIAL).
IV -E GREEN ACRES MUSA LINE
M.S. 273.111 sets forth a procedure and delineates guidelines
whereby certain taxes and assessments may be deferred for
qualifying agricultural property. The intent was to enable
farmers to continue to use their land for. agricultural purposes
and to not be forced into selling their property for other uses
because of higher urban taxes and special assessments. In the
Metropolitan Area "green . acre deferements" have largely been
replaced by a concept called agricultural preserves which
requires the participation of the local unit in designating land
to be included in preserves. The usage of "green acres" within
the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) appears to be in
conflict with the philosophy which led to the establishment of
the MUSA concept.
THE AMM RECOMMENDS THE PHASE OUT OF THE "GREEN ACRE STATUS" FOR
ALL PROPERTY SO DESIGNATED UNDER MS 273.111 WITHIN THE MUSA
UNLESS SPECIFIC APPROVAL FOR CONTINUING EACH DESIGNATION IS
GRANTED BY THE HOST MUNICIPALITY. NO NEW "GREEN ACRE"
DESIGNATIONS SHALL BE ALLOWED UNLESS APPROVED BY THE HOST
MUNICIPALITY.
IV -F MINNESOTA INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVIEW OF FEDERAL PROGRAMS
-31-
Presidential Executive: Order No. 12372 as amended-by Executive
Order No. 12416 eliminated the Federal A -95 Review Process and
authorized each state to establish its own process. Minnesota
Sessions Laws 1983, Chapter 289, Section 49 authorized the State
- Planning Agency to adopt a state process. Such review and state
processes must be recognized by the Federal Agencies. A State
Inter Governmental Review of Federal Programs process was -
adopted in 1984 and appears to be. satisfactory. Any revision to
the state process should be consistent with the principles listed
below.
F -1 GUIDELINES FOR STATE PROCESS
THE STATE PROCESS (PROCEDURES) MUST BE APPLICABLE AND CONSISTENT
ON A STATEWIDE BASIS WITH SPECIFIED CRITERIA TO DETERMINE WHICH
FEDERAL PROGRAMS, PROPOSALS AND PROJECTS ARE SUBJECT TO THE
INTER - GOVERNMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS. PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS SHOULD
NOT BE ADDED OR DELETED FROM THE LIST WITHOUT PROPER NOTICE.
F -2 REGIONAL REVIEW AGENCY
THE REGIONAL AGENCIES REVIEW AUTHORITY, SHOULD BE LIMITED TO
JUDGING THE PROGRAMS, PROPOSALS, PROJECTS CONSISTENCY WITH
REGIONAL PLANS, GOALS AND POLICIES. NO PREFERENCE OR PRIORITY
SHOULD BE GIVEN TO PROJECTS, PROGRAMS OR PROPOSALS WHICHw . EXCEED
THE REGIONAL OR STATE REQUIREMENTS AS OPPOSED TO THOSE PROJECTS,
PROGRAMS OR PROPOSALS WHICH MEET THE REGIONAL OR STATE
REQUIREMENTS. EACH PROGRAM PROJECT PROPOSAL SHOULD BE REVIEWED
PRIMARILY ON ITS OWN MERITS AND THE REGIONAL REVIEWING AGENCY
SHOULD DOCUMENT ITS REASONS FOR CONSIDERING FACTORS NOT DIRECTLY
RELATED TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE PROGRAM, PROJECT, PROPOSAL.
F -3 NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE STATE INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVIEW
PROCESS, SHOULD BE AS STRINGENT AS THOSE FORMERLY REQUIRED BY
A -95.
IV -G ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS
M.S. Chapter 116D sets forth the basic environmental review
Procedure for this state. Since environmental reviews can cause
significant delay, create uncertainty for the developer, and add
to project costs ultimately paid for by the consumer; it is
important that the review procedure be simple and straightforward
and yet thorough enough to assure that all important issues and
concerns are addressed. Improvements have been made in recent
years by the Legislature and the Environmental Quality Board
(EQB) to streamline the process and make it more difficult to
abuse the process. We commend them for these positive
-32-
improvements.
THE AMM BELIEVES THAT AN APPROPRIATE BALANCE HAS BEEN STRUCK
BETWEEN THE NEED TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE DESIRE TO
ENHANCE AND IMPROVE THE ECONOMIC CLIMATE WITH RESPECT TO
DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS WITHIN THE STATES ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
PROCEDURE (M.S. CHAPTER 116 D). NO SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES SHOULD BE
MADE UNTIL THERE HAS BEEN SUFFICIENT EXPERIENCE TO DETERMINE IF
CHANGES ARE NEEDED.
IV -H COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING - LOCAL AND REGIONAL INTERACTION
Implementation of the legislation passed in 1976 mandating the
completion of local and regional comprehensive plans is complete.
Planning, however, is an ongoing process, and several precepts
should be kept in mind by Local Units of Government,
Metropolitan Agencies, and the State as this planning process
continues during the 19801s.
METROPOLITAN SYSTEM PLANS, MUST CONTINUE TO BE SUFFICIENTLY
SPECIFIC IN TERMS OF LOCATIONS, CAPACITIES, AND TIMING TO
ALLOW FOR CONSIDERATION IN LOCAL COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING.
THE REGIONAL INVESTMENT IN METROPOLITAN PHYSICAL SERVICE SYSTEMS
(TRANSPORTATION, WASTEWATER TREATMENT, AIRPORTS, AND PARK AND
OPEN SPACE) SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE PROTECTED BY PREVENTING ADVERSE
IMPACT ON THESE SYSTEMS DUE TO LACK OF 'INTEGRATION BETWEEN
REGIONAL AND LOCAL PLANNING.
LOCAL OFFICIALS MUST HAVE EFFECTIVE INPUT INTO THE REGIONAL
PLANNING PROCESS ON AN ONGOING'BASIS.
DESIGNATION OF OTHER REGIONAL PLANS AS METROPOLITAN SYSTEMS PLANS
SHOULD NOT BE MADE UNLESS THERE IS A COMPELLING METROPOLITAN AREA
WIDE PROBLEM OR CONCERN THAT CAN ONLY BE SOLVED THROUGH A
REGIONAL SYSTEM DESIGNATION.
-33-
IV -J METROPOLITAN COUNCIL BUDGET
The Metropolitan Council has an annual budget of several
million dollars and impacts the two million people living in the
metropolitan area. Its budget document should convey enough
information so that the residents can determine what product is
being produced and how much the product costs. The budget
document should be prepared early enough in the annual adoption
process so that the residents can provide meaningful input as to
program activities and .program priorities.
J -1 BUDGET DETAIL AND SPECIFICITY
Eventhough, the Annual Budget and Work Program document has been
improved in recent years to contain more detail and specificity
which enables interest groups to make more reasoned
recommendations, further improvements could be made.
MANDATED OR NON DISCRETIONARY PROJECTS, PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES
SHOULD BE IDENTIFIED. PROJECTS, PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES WHICH MAY
BE DISCRETIONARY BUT ARE TOTALLY FUNDED BY A FEDERAL OR STATE
GRANT SHOULD ALSO BE IDENTIFIED. MORE INFORMATION SHOULD BE
PROVIDED AS TO PREVIOUS YEARS EXPENDITURES FOR ON -GOING PROGRAMS,
PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES.
J -2 POST HEARING BUDGET INCREASES
The Council has significantly increased its budget several months
into the budget year in each of the last several years. The AMM
believes this detracts from the official open budget process and
should not become an annual occurrence.
THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL SHOULD REVIEW ITS TOTAL BUDGET PROCESS
SO THAT IT HAS APPROPRIATE FACTUAL INFORMATION AT THE TIME IT
ADOPTS THE ANNUAL BUDGET AND WORK PROGRAM TO MINIMIZE THE NEED FOR
MAJOR BUDGET AMENDMENTS AFTER INITIAL ADOPTION. IF BUDGET
AMENDMENTS ARE NECESSARY, THE COUNCIL SHOULD ENSURE THAT THE
AMENDMENT PROCESS PROVIDES ADEQUATE NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC AND THAT
THE PUBLIC BE PROVIDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT.
-34-
J -3 RELIANCE ON PROPERTY TAXES
The AMM is concerned by the growing reliance on the property tax
to support Council activities. Federal grants used to fund about
two /thirds of the Council Budget and the local property tax about
one - third. The ratio is now reversed.
THE COUNCIL SHOULD MAKE A THOROUGH EXAMINATION OF THE ACTIVITIES
FORMERLY FUNDED BY FEDERAL GRANTS TO DETERMINE IF THEY ARE
STILL NECESSARY AND WORTHWHILE WHEN ONLY LOCAL DOLLARS ARE
INVOLVED. ADDITIONALLY THE COUNCIL SHOULD SEEK TO DIVEST ITSELF
OF SERVICES THAT IT PERFORMS FOR THIS AREA, IF SUCH SERVICES
ARE PERFORMED BY STATE AGENCIES FOR THE BALANCE OF THE STATE.
ALSO, ACTIVITIES WHICH MAY BE FUNDED THROUGH FEDERAL OR STATE
GRANTS SHOULD NOT BE PURSUED MERELY BECAUSE MONEY IS AVAILABLE
UNLESS THERE IS A REAL NEED TO BE SATISFIED AND WHICH WILL
PROVIDE A BENEFIT FOR RESIDENTS OF THE METROPOLITAN AREA.
IV -L METROPOLITAN PARKS AND OPEN SPACE FUNDING
The 1974 Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Act established the
Metropolitan Parks and Open Space system and provided
state /regional fiscal support for acquisition and development of
the regional park system and provided a "payment in lieu of
taxes" to local units of government on a decreasing basis over a
four year period for land removed from the tax rolls. Partial
funding for the operation and maintenance of regional
parks was provided by the legislature in 1985.
L -1 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
-35-
Due to increased usage, a leveling of state aids and the impact
of 'levy limit restrictions; it is becoming increasingly difficult
for the implementing agencies to operate and maintain these
regional facilities. Furthermore, regional parks provide the
same basic function in the metropolitan area as state parks
provide in outstate Minnesota and State funding is provided for
operation and maintenance of state parks.
THE AMM RECOMMENDS THAT THE STATE CONTINUE TO PROVIDE PARTIAL
FUNDING TO IMPLEMENTING AGENCIES TO HELP PAY FOR THE MAINTENANCE
AND OPERATION COSTS OF THE REGIONAL PARKS AND OPEN SPACE SYSTEM.
THE STATE /REGIONAL FUNDS SHOULD BE IN THE FORM OF A CONTINUING
REVENUE SOURCE NOT DEPENDENT UPON BIENNIAL LEGISLATIVE
APPROPRIATION AND PREFERABLY FROM A SOURCE OTHER THAN THE
PROPERTY TAX. THE REGIONAL PARKS SHOULD REMAIN UNDER THE CONTROL
OF THE IMPLEMENTING AGENCIES (CITIES AND COUNTIES).
L -2 FUNDING FOR IMPACTS OF REGIONAL PARKS ON HOST COMMUNITIES
Except for the four year "payment in lieu of taxes; no provision
was made to mitigate the continuing cost impacts of a regional
park facility on a "host community ", when such community is not
the owner of the facility. The cost impacts include such items
as increased public safety costs, street and road maintenance,
litter cleanup, permanent loss of tax revenues, etc.
THE AMM RECOMMENDS THAT AS A CONDITION FOR RECEIVING REGIONAL OR
STATE FUNDING FOR A REGIONAL PARK FACILITY, THE FACILITY OWNER AND
OPERATOR MUST NEGOTIATE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE HOST COMMUNITY TO
REIMBURSE IT FOR THE COST IMPACTS ON THE HOST COMMUNITY.
IV -M SURFACE WATER
The Legislature in 1982 adopted a Surface Water Management Act
for the 7- county metropolitan area. The Act as passed and as
amended in 1984 addressed most of the concerns raised by the AMM
and we do not see the need for major amendments at this point in
time. If the Legislature considers changes such legislation
should not diminish emphasis on the following principles:
THE COST TO LOCAL UNITS OF GOVERNMENT FOR PLANNING AND
IMPLEMENTING THIS ACT MUST REMAIN OUTSIDE OF LEVY LIMITS AND
ADDITIONAL MANDATES PLACED ON LOCAL UNITS OF GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE
FULLY FUNDED BY STATE RAISED REVENUES. A METROPOLITAN AREA WIDE
AD VALORUM PROPERTY TAX SHOULD NOT BE ESTABLISHED TO PAY FOR
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT (PLANNING, PROJECTS, MAINTENANCE) EXCEPT
FOR REGIONAL PLANNING OR PROJECTS THAT ARE JUDGED TO BE OF
METROPOLITAN SIGNIFICANCE PER M.S. 473.173. THE AUTHORITIES AND
RESPONSIBILITIES ASSIGNED TO THE VARIOUS UNITS AND LEVELS OF
GOVERNMENT BY THE 1982 SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT ACT SEEM TO BE IN
-36-
GOOD BALANCE. LOCAL UNITS OF GOVERNMENT WITHIN_THE 7- COUNTY
METROPOLITAN AREA SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE -IN ANY
STATE -WIDE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT GRANT PROGRAM.
IV -N HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
The problem of regulating, controlling and disposing of hazardous
materials in an environmentally sound manner is one of the major
issues of this decade both nationally and locally. Major state
legislation addressing this issue was enacted in 1980 and amended
in subsequent years. The cumulative affect of the legislation was
the establishment of an on -going management and control system
for the handling and disposal of hazardous materials where
responsibility is centralized at the state level but requires
the cooperation and support of all levels of government. The AMM
does not perceive the need for changes or additional legislation.
However, any future legislation that may be considered should
enhance and not diminish emphasis on the following principles:
N -1 EFFECTIVE PLANNING
PARTIES OR AGENCIES WHO GENERATE HAZARDOUS WASTE SHOULD BE
INVOLVED IN ALL PHASES OF PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTING THE MANAGEMENT
AND DISPOSAL SYSTEM.
N -2 ABATEMENT - REDUCTION - RESOURCE RECOVERY
GENERATORS SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED TO MODIFY THEIR PRODUCTION
PROCESSES TO RE -USE, RECOVER /RECYCLE AS MUCH HAZARDOUS WASTE AS
POSSIBLE AND TO USE LESS HAZARDOUS RAW MATERIALS IN THEIR
MANUFACTURING PROCESSES. ENCOURAGEMENT COULD BE GIVEN THRU
INCENTIVES /DISINCENTIVES.
N -3 HANDLING, STORAGE, DISPOSAL
ALL PARTIES INVOLVED IN THE "HAZARDOUS WASTE STREAM" (FROM
GENERATION TO DISPOSAL) MUST BE REQUIRED TO HANDLE WASTE IN A
MANNER THAT WILL ASSURE THAT THESE WASTES ARE PROPERLY IDENTIFIED,
COLLECTED, TREATED, TRANSPORTED, ETC. AND ULTIMATELY DISPOSED OF
IN A SAFE MANNER.
N -4 PRIVATE OWNERSHIP
THE PRIVATE SECTOR SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED TO OWN, OPERATE AND MANAGE
HAZARDOUS WASTE PROCESSING, TREATMENT, STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
FACILITIES UNDER STRINGENT STATE REGULATION AND LICENSING AND
BACKED BY STATE LIABILITY. UNDERGROUND OR IN- GROUND BURIAL OF
HAZARDOUS WASTES SHOULD ONLY BE USED AS A LAST RESORT AND IF THIS
BECOMES NECESSARY, THE PRIME CRITERIA FOR SITE SELECTION SHOULD
BE GEOLOGICAL ACCEPTABILITY AND SAFETY.
-37-
N -5 COMPENSATION- INCENTIVES FOR HOST COMMUNITIES
COMPENSATION SHOULD BE PROVIDED TO HOST COMMUNITIES SIMILAR TO THE
COMPENSATION PROVIDED FOR SOLID WASTE LANDFILLS.
N -6 EXISTING SITE CLEAN -UP AND LIABILITY
THE MPCA SHOULD PROCEED POST HASTE TO CLEAN -UP AND
DECONTAMINATE THE EXISTING HAZARDOUS WASTE SITES BEFORE THERE IS
FURTHER DAMAGE TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT. IF A
RESPONSIBLE PARTY CAN BE IDENTIFIED, THAT PARTY SHOULD BE LIABLE
FOR CLEAN -UP COSTS, REMEDIAL ACTION. COSTS AND PERSONAL INJURY
DAMAGES AS DEFINED IN LAW. IF A RESPONSIBLE PARTY CANNOT BE
IDENTIFIED OR IF RESPONSIBILITY IS CONTESTED, THEN THE CLEAN -UP
SHOULD BE FINANCED BY THE STATE SUPERFUNDS OR FEDERAL.
IV -0 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA
The solid waste management system in place in the 7- county area
is basically a three - tiered system whereby cities control and
regulate collection; counties are responsible for 'siting' new
landfills, developing abatement plans, developing processing
facilities and regulating existing landfills; and the
Metropolitan Council has regional planning and coordinating
responsibilities. The system was intended to foster and
encourage abatement, recycling and resource recovery for as much
of the waste stream as possible and then to assure
environmentally sound landfill disposal for the remaining solid
waste. Maximum cooperation and coordination among and between
the various levels and units of government and the private sector
is needed if the system is to work as intended.
0 -1 CONSOLIDATION OF SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES
As indicated in the previous paragraph, the responsibilities for
managing solid waste in the Metropolitan Area are shared by the
Metropolitan Council, Counties and Cities and Towns. The AMM
believes that if the area is to reach its mandate of no more
landfilling of unprocessed solid waste by 1991, the
responsibilities for source separation and recycling related
activities must be more centrally coordinated at the county
level.
THE AMM RECOMMENDS THAT THE COUNTIES ASSUME THE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR ALL
SOURCE SEPARATION AND RECYCLING RELATED ACTIVITIES AND PROJECTS. WHERE A
CITY IS NOT MEETING THE COUNTY ESTABLISHED GOALS THE MUNICIPALITIES WOULD RETAIN
ONLY LIMITED AUTHORITY TO REGULATE THE COLLECTION OF SOLID WASTE TO PROTECT
THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THEIR RESIDENTS.
0 -2 ALTERNATIVES TO LANDFILLS
All levels and units of government and the private sector should
participate and cooperate in planning amd managing the solid
waste stream to assure a cost efficient and environmentally sound
solid waste management system. Landfilling should only be used
as a last resort and then only for "processed" solid waste or for
those materials which can not be recycled, reused, or disposed of
in a more acceptable manner.
THE AMM ENDORSES ABATEMENT, RECYCLING AND RESOURCE RECOVERY
ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS TO REDUCE THE NEED FOR IN- GROUND DISPOSAL
OF UNPROCESSED SOLID WASTE. THE AMM ALSO BELIEVES THAT THE
EXISTING SUBSIDY LEVELS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD REBATE PROGRAM AND THE
TONNAGE REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM OUGHT TO BE INCREASED SUBSTANTIALLY
SO THAT CITIES CAN DEVELOP AND OPERATE EFFECTIVE RECYCLING
PROGRAMS. YARD WASTES SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED AS AN ELIGIBLE ITEM
IN THE TONNAGE PROGRAM. (IF POLICY 0 -1 IS ADOPTED THEN COUNTIES
RATHER THAN CITIES WOULD RECEIVE THE ABOVE REIMBURSEMENTS).
0 -3 DISPOSAL DEADLINES
Current law contains a deadline that will prohibit the disposal
of "unprocessed" solid waste in landfills effective January 1,
1991. The AMM supports this prohibition provided that sufficient
alternatives are on line to process the solid waste generated in
the Metropolitan Area by that date at a reasonable cost.
THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL SHOULD MONITOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
ALTERNATIVE FACILITIES FOR THE PROCESSING OF SOLID WASTE ON A
CONTINUOUS BASIS TO ASSURE THAT ADEQUATE PROCESSING CAPACITY WILL
BE AVAILABLE BY 1991. DEFINITIVE INFORMATION MUST BE PROVIDED TO
THE LEGISLATURE BY JANUARY 1, 1990 SO THAT THE 1991 DEADLINE CAN
BE MODIFIED AS NEEDED.
0 -4 COMPENSATION AND INCENTIVES FOR HOST COMMUNITIES
Solid waste landfills have many undesireable impacts on the
"host" communities and they should be compensated for all direct
and indirect costs associated with the undesireable impacts such
a facility has on the community.
THE AMM SUPPORTS THE CURRENT COMPENSATION LEVEL AND BELIEVES IT
SHOULD BE CONTINUED. AS OTHER MAJOR SOLID WASTE PROCESSING
FACILITIES GO ON LINE (SUCH AS INCINERATION TYPE FACILITIES), THE
IMPACT OF THESE FACILITIES ON THE HOST COMMUNITIES SHOULD BE
CAREFULLY MONITORED TO DETERMINE IF THEY ALSO HAVE SIGNIFICANT
UNDESIREABLE IMPACTS AS OPPOSED TO BENEFITS. IF SO, SOME FORM OF
COMPENSTATION MAY ALSO BE NECESSARY FOR THOSE COMMUNITIES.
0 -5 FUNDING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL, PERSONAL AND PROPERTY DAMAGES
THE AMM SUPPORTS THE CURRENT FUNDING LEVEL AND BELIEVES IT SHOULD
-39-
BE CONTINUED TO PROVIDE HELP TO PERSONS OR COMMUNITEIS INJURED OR
DAMAGED BY ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL INCIDENTS CAUSED BY LANDFILL
CONTAMINATION. (I.E. REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL
INJURIES, CLEAN -UP ACTIVITIES, ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLIES, ETC.).
COUNTIES MUST EXERCISE THEIR STATUTORY RESPONSIBILITIES TO ASSURE
THAT LANDFILLS ARE INSPECTED AND OPERATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
STATE AND COUNTY REQUIREMENTS.
0 -6 COUNTY RESPONSIBILITIES
Counties have the major responsibilities for managing and
implementing the solid waste disposal system and are authorized
to charge a surtax of 25 cents per cubic yard, of solid waste to
help pay for alternatives to land disposal.
THE AMM SUPPORTS CONTINUATION OF THE COUNTY SURTAX AUTHORIZATION.
THE AMM ALSO URGES THE COUNTIES TO RAPIDLY DEVELOP PREFERRED
DISPOSAL TECHNIQUES WHICH ARE ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND AND COST
EFFICIENT.
0 -7 TRANSFER STATION RULES AND REGULATIONS
Metropolitan Counties are given the power to acquire by purchase,
lease, gift or condemnation solid waste facilities or properties
which includes transfer stations. Acquisition is permitted
without compliance with local land use ordinances. Metropolitan
cities have no protection, except through a review process, from
improvident designation of transfer station sites.
THE AMM URGES THE MINNESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY (MPCA) TO
QUICKLY EXERCISE ITS RESPONSIBILITIES AND PROMULGATE RULES AND
REGULATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE SITING OF SOLID WASTE TRANSFER
STATIONS. SUCH RULES AND REGULATIONS ARE NECESSARY TO PROTECT
THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE AFFECTED
CITIES SINCE SUCH FACILITIES ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF
CITY ORDINANCES.
IV -P COMBINED SEWERS - SEPARATION
The three communities of Minneapolis, St. Paul and South St. Paul
still have a significant amount of combined waste and storm water
sewers which create overflows of untreated waste water into the
Mississippi River during heavy rains and storm water runoff
periods. These cities have over many years been progressing with
sewer separation projects paid for primarily through local tax
levies. The Federal and State governments are pressing the issue
of meeting certain water quality standards in the Mississippi
River consistantly which apparently cannot be done until
separation is complete and the state did provide additional
funding during the 1985 Legislative Session to help pay for the
speed up.
-40-
r. V
THE AMM RECOMMENDS THAT IF THE STATE GOVERNMENT CONTINUES TO
PURSUE THE ACCELERATED COMBINED SEWER SEPARATION PROGRAM IN THE
THREE CITIES, THAT IT ALSO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE FUNDING TO ENSURE
THAT NEITHER LOCAL PROPERTY TAXES NOR METROPOLITAN SANITARY SEWER
COSTS ARE INCREASED DUE TO THE ACCELERATED BUILD EFFORT.
FURTHER, IF FEDERAL MONEY IS AVAILABLE TO ELIMINATE COMBINED SEWER
OVERFLOW PROBLEMS, IT SHOULD ALSO BE USED TO HELP COMPLETE THE
SEPARATION PROJECTS IN THIS AREA.

TRANSPORTATION
V -A STREET AND HIGHWAY FUNDING
An efficient transportation system is a vital element in planning
for physical, economic, and social development at the state,
regional, and local levels. Funding for current roadway
maintenance reconstruction, and construction of new streets and
highways in developing areas is a significant major element of a
competitive and safe transportation system. Due to past high
inflation and declining state revenues there has been a tendency
by the Legislature to divert much needed roadway funds to state
general expenditure. This trend must be reversed and funding
expanded to at least pace inflation plus growth to insure high
quality transporation within the state and metropolitan region.
THE AMM URGES THE LEGISLATURE TO PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE LEVEL OF
FUNDS SO THAT NECESSARY STREET AND HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE MAY BE
CONTINUED, NECESSARY NEW STREET AND HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION MAY
OCCUR, AND THE MUNICIPAL STATE AID FUND LEVEL CONTINUES GROWTH.
V -B MOTOR VEHICLE EXCISE TAX TRANSFER
The Motor Vehicle Excise Tax was significantly increased in the
early 1980's and dedicated to the State General Fund to offset the
affect of a declining economy and reduced state revenues. The
Legislature recognized that Highway and Transit Program needs were
growing and that ultimately additional funding would be needed in
these areas. Thus, a transfer of this tax from General Fund to
the Highway and Transit Funds was established starting with 25% in
1985 and finally reaching 100% in 1992. The transfer was suspended
in 1986 and 1987 because of reduced state revenues after a short
period of growth. Necessary street and highway construction and
reconstruction is falling behind significantly. Without this
source of funding, the roadway system will become a major state
crisis. Therefore,
THE AMM URGES THE LEGISLATURE TO ALLOW CURRENT LAW GOVERNING
THE MOTOR VEHICLE EXCISE TAX TRANSFER TO REMAIN IN PLACE
WITHOUTFURTHER SUSPENSION TO ENSURE SOME NEEDED GROWTH FOR
STREET AND HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE, RECONSTRUCTION, AND NEW
CONSTRUCTION.
-42-
IY "
V -C HIGHWAY AND TRANSIT INTEGRATION
An efficient Transportation System consists of both high quality
roadway and high quality transit opportunities. These two
elements must be considered together from early planning through
implementation especially in high growth Metropolitan areas where
the travel needs tend to glut to excess capacity new or expanded
highways as soon as they are opened for use. The AMM understands
that to some degree this is done in planning and that transit is
considered somewhat when determining funding priorities for
highway construction, however, it is felt that the integration of
highway and transit is minimal and should be significantly
increased.
THE AMM. URGES MNDOT AND METROPOLITAN AGENCIES INVOLVED IN HIGHWAY
AND TRANSIT PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION TO INTEGRATE THESE
ACTIVITIES TO ENSURE AN EFFICIENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. CRITERIA
USED TO DETERMINE HIGHWAY FUNDING FOR CONSTRUCTION AND EXPANSION
SHOULD BE REVIEWED AND UPDATED TO REQUIRE PROVISIONS FOR
DISCUSSION AND INCLUSION OF TRANSIT MODES AND OPPORTUNITIES IF
APPROPRIATE ONLY WHEN THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED WILL THE TRANSPORTATION
SYSTEM BE TRULY EFFICIENT AND COST EFFECTIVE.
V -D METROPOLITAN TRANSIT SYSTEM FUNDING
Because of the large economically diverse population but rather
compact nature of the Twin City Metropolitan Area, it is an
absolute necessity to provide an effective and efficient public
mass transit service augmented by a variety of programs,such as
Rideshare and Project Mobility, to protect the economic
viability of the area. Without a good transit system, the
Metropolitan Highway system would not just be crowded, it would be
totally inadequate. Many elderly and handicapped persons residing
in the area primarily because of access to unique services would
be almost totally immobile. Due to statutory constraints, there
are no funding resources available for other units of government
to pick up the difference if the programs are allowed to
deteriorate. Therefore, legislative funding of transit programs
through the RTB should be a high priority.
THE AMM REQUESTS THE LEGISLATURE TO CONSIDER THE METROPOLITAN
TRANSIT PROGRAMS AS HIGH PRIORITY AND FUND THEM SUFFICIENTLY.
FUNDING ALTERNATIVES SHOULD INCLUDE THE STATE GENERAL FUND MOTOR
VEHICLE EXCISE TAX, THE FARE BOX, PROPERTY TAX, AND SERVICE
EFFICIENCIES.
V -E TRANSIT NEEDS ASSESSMENT
In recent years, the subject of light rail transit as a mass
transit alternative for the area has been debated considerably.
-43-
f.
The 1985 legislature put a hold on various light rail activities
pending completion of a Metropolitan Transit Needs Assessment
Study conducted by the Regional Transit Board (RTB). Based on the
results of the Needs Assessment Study the legislature hopes to
determine the type, of transit enhancements needed to provide an
effective and efficient transit system in the near and mid range
future. The appropriate mode of transportation; light rail, bus,
van, other multiple occupancy vehicles, etc., will undoubtedly be
a significant part of the implementation .discussion. At this
time, the AMM is less concerned about modes of transit or
implementation strategies as it is about the process to be used to
make these final determinations. Therefore,
THE AMM STRONGLY URGES THE RTB, METROPOLITAN COUNCIL, AND
LEGISLATURE TO UTILIZE AN OPEN '3C' (CONTINUOUS, COMPREHENSIVE,
AND COOPERATIVE) PROCESS INCLUDING DISCUSSION AND INPUT FROM TAB,
TAC, LOCAL OFFICIALS, AND THE PUBLIC AT LARGE TO DISCUSS AND
DEVELOP THE IMPLEMENTATION AND FUNDING STRATEGIES TO BE USED AS A
RESULT OF THE FINDINGS OF THE METROPOLITAN TRANSIT NEEDS
ASSESSMENT STUDY.
V -F HIGHWAY JURISDICTIONAL REASSIGNMENT AND FUNDING
The State Highway Study Commission and Metropolitan Jurisdictional
Task Force have been studying the possibility of reclassifying
many roadways in the state as to appropriate use classifications
and jurisdiction. This reassignment in the metropolitan area is
estimated to shift $6.1 million annually from the state and $1.2
million annually from the counties to the cities for an increase
of $7.3 million annually for general maintenance and life cycle
treatment (i.e. sealcoat, overlays, etc.). This task is
appropriate, but will have a profound effect on city finances and
future ability to maintain good road systems, especially if
certain criteria are not met and finance alternatives established.
Therefore, the AMM offers the following as a guide to continuing
discussion and ongoing studies.
THE AMM SUPPORTS JURISDICTIONAL REASSIGNMENT OF ROADS ON A PHASED
BASIS BASED ON FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND OTHER APPROPRIATE
CRITERIA SUBJECT TO A CORRESPONDING MECHANISM FOR FUNDING OF
ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS AND CONTINUING MAINTENANCE SINCE CITIES DO
NOT CURRENTLY HAVE THE FINANCIAL CAPACITY TO ABSORB THE ADDITIONAL
ROADWAY RESPONSIBILITIES WITHOUT NEW FUNDING SOURCES. THE
EXISTING MUNICIPAL TURNBACK FUND IS NOT ADEQUATE BASED ON
CONTEMPLATED TURNBACKS.
V -G STATE AND COUNTY HIGHWAY TURNBACKS
Current state law provides that the state and /or county may
declassify a trunk highway and turn it back to a local unit of
government. The only provision is that it must be in
-44-
good condition. The unit receiving the highway does not have the
option to refuse title and must, thereafter, maintain the turned
back road. The local unit may add the turnback highway to its MSA
highway mileage and even exceed the unit's mileage limit if it is
already at its designated limit. This will qualify that
particular stretch of street for MSA maintenance funds. However,
two problems exist: 1) the maintenance allocation may not be
sufficient if the street is a high volume carrier, such as Highway
8 through Ramsey County; and 2) the miles of turnback designated
by the local unit as MSA streets will be deducted from the unit's
future additional MSA allocation limit, thus forcing the local
unit to totally maintain that portion from its local funds or lose
the right to determine at its option other local streets as part
of the MSA system.
THE ASSOCIATION OF, METROPOLITAN MUNICIPALITIES REQUESTS THE
LEGISLATURE TO MODIFY THE LAW TO EITHER 1) ALLOW CITIES THE RIGHT
TO REFUSE HIGHWAY TURNBACKS FROM THE STATE OR COUNTY, OR 2) ALLOW
THE LOCAL UNITS MSA MILE LIMIT TO BE INCREASED BY THE MILES OF
TURNBACK WITHOUT AFFECTING FUTURE ALLOCATIONS AND ESTABLISH A
SPECIAL MAINTENANCE ALLOCATION FOR TURNED BACK HIGHWAY MILES BASED
ON VOLUME OF USAGE. FURTHER, STANDARDS AND CRITERIA FOR TURNBACK
ROADS SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED BY MNDOT IN CONJUNCTION WITH LOCAL
UNITS OF GOVERNMENT, AND NOT MEETING THESE STANDARDS BE MADE PART
OF THE CRITERIA FOR WHICH A CITY MAY REJECT THE TURNBACK.
V -H '3C' TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PROCESS - ROLE OF ELECTED
OFFICIALS
The transportation planning process in the Twin City Metropolitan
Area has been developed in response to a variety of federal and
state laws and regulations. The Metropolitan Council (MC) was
formally designated by the Legislature in 1974 (1974 MRA) as the
agency responsible for the administration and coordination of said
planning process. Included within this designation is the
responsibility for long range comprehensive transportation
planning required by Section 134 of the Federal Highway Act of
1962, Section 4 of Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964 and
Section 112 of Federal Aid Highway Act of 1973, and such other
federal transportation laws as may be enacted subsequently. The
planning required under the federal laws is commonly referred to
as the 13C' process (continuous, comprehensive, and cooperative), `
and the MC is the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) under
federal terminology. Federal law and regulations require that the
MPO function as "the forum for cooperative decision making by
principal elected officials of general purpose local government"
and receipt of federal financial aid for the planning,
construction and operation of transportation improvements in
urbanized areas is contingent upon the existence of a planning
process which is satisfactory to federal authorities. When'the
Legislature designated the MC as the transportation planning
-45-
agency for the metropolitan area, it also mandated the
establishment of an "advisory body" to assist the MC and
Metropolitan Transit Commission (MTC), now Regional Transit Board,
in carrying out their responsibilities. While specific duties
were not assigned, the Legislature did specify that the advisory
body would consist of citizen representatives, municipal, county,
and appropriate state agency representatives. This advisory body
is now called the Transportation Advisory Board (TAB) and contains
17 local elected officials among its membership of about 30
officials. The MC has consistently viewed the role of TAB as an
advisory body based on the 1974 MRA. Hence, local elected
officials in this area do not play as vital a role in the
federally mandated '3C' transportation planning process as was
intended by federal law and regulation. Although, the Federal
Regulations no longer require exclusive local official
representation as the MC, they still maintain local official
involvement in'the MC and '3C' process. In addition, the current
elected official participation and '3C' process has worked
reasonably well in this Metropolitan Area.
THE AMM SUPPORTS AS A MINIMUM THE CONTINUATION OF THE CURRENT
LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS INVOLVEMENT IN THE '3C' PROCESS. IF
MODIFICATION IS CONSIDERED, THE AMM URGES GREATER LOCAL OFFICIAL
INPUT IN THE SELECTION PROCESS OF THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
AGENCY.

V -J MNDOT /CITY COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS
The 1984 Legislature modified payment proceedures for projects
where the state and city share in the costs through cooperative
agreements by allowing MNDOT to pay as the work proceeds.
However, because of work load and the priority system used by
MNDOT in preparing and authorizing cooperative agreements, some
important local projects were being delayed. This has now been
corrected administratively and the process is working.
THE AMM URGES MNDOT TO CONTINUE A GOOD COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
PROCESS AND INITIATE CHANGES AS AND WHEN APPROPRIATE SO THAT
MUNICIPAL AGREEMENTS CAN BE EXECUTED IN A TIMELY AND EFFICIENT
MANNER.
V -K MTC MEMBERSHIP
The 1984 legislature created the Regional Transit Board, as a
replacement for the then MTC which dealt with more than operations
of the major public bus company, to separate transit alternative
planning from bus company operations. In doing so the MTC was
reduced from 8 members to 3 members, one each from Minneapolis,
St. Paul, and the Suburbs. This arrangement has worked, but not
as well as it could and it is not representative of the transit
area population.
THE AMM ENCOURAGES THE LEGISLATURE TO INCREASE MTC MEMBERSHIP TO
FIVE BY ADDING TWO MORE SUBURBAN MEMBERS TO FACILITATE OPERATIONS
AS A BOARD AND TO MORE EQUITABLY REPRESENT THE TRANSIT SERVICE
AREA POPULATION.
V -L LARGE TRUCKS
The trucking industry has recently proposed to the state
legislature allowing truck tractor and trailor combinations of up
to 110 feet on Minnesota State Highways. Due to offtracking of
rear wheels, acceleration distance needs,,and time and distance
required for safe passing, current legal lengths are pushing the
-47-
limit of safety and physical ability of our interstate and trunk
highway systems. Longer tractor /trailor combinations would only
exacerbate these conditions beyond tolerable limits. To upgrade
the Highway System to accommodate longer units would be very
expensive reducing funding resources for other much needed
critical projects. Once allowed on the interstate and designated
trunk route highways there would undoubtedly by pressure to
' provide access to various local areas which would be prohibitive
in cost for local upgrading and unacceptable for safety,
Therefore,
THE AMM URGES THE LEGISLATURE TO NOT INCREASE TRUCK TRACTOR AND
TRAILOR COMBINATION LENGTH LIMITS BEYOND CURRENT LIMITS DUE TO
UNACCEPTABLE COST FOR HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION AND FOR PROTECTION OF
PUBLIC SAFETY.
V -M MSA FUNDS FOR OPTICOM
Optical Command System, Opticom, equipment is used by Public
Safety vehicles to change traffic signals from the vehicle while
on an emergency call. Opticom has proven successful in decreasing
emergency vehicle intersection accidents and is in use in several
metropolitan cities. However, it is expensive. Current MSA
standards and regulations do not allow use of MSA funds for
purchase of Opticom.
THE AMM REQUESTS THE MSA SCREENING COMMITTEE TO ALLOW USE OF MSA
HIGHWAY FUNDS FOR PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF OPTICOM SYSTEMS FOR
TRAFFIC SIGNAL LIGHTS ON MSA STREETS.
V -N MTC REDUCED SERVICE AREA MILL RATE
Levies expressed in legislation as a mill limit such as the
Metropolitan MTC levy of 2 mills are adjusted by personal property
and recalculation of Homestead property as if it were assessed at
40 %, Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 273.13 subd. 7a, 275.49, and
272.64. However, when feathering for lower serviced areas was
adopted in 473.446 subd. 1, it was written so that the Revenue
Department interprets the reduction as a regular mill. This
provision affects 45 cities in 1987. Thus, 2 mills levied equal an
actual 3 mills and the half mill reduction is only a half mill not
r a three quarter mill as was intended by the legislature. This
equals a 50% less reduction than intended.
THE AMM REQUESTS THE LEGISLATURE TO MODIFY MINN. STATUTE CHAPTER
473.446 SUBD. 1 TO MAKE REDUCTION MILL CALCULATION FOR REDUCED
TRANSIT SERVICE EQUIVALENT TO THE ORIGINAL LEVIED MILL CALCULATION.
V -0 SEAT BELT VIOLATION PENALTIES
The 1986 Legislature passed a mandatory seal belt usage law taking
effect in August of 1986. Although this is a laudable action, it
is somewhat meaningless without some type of penalty provision.
If there is a reasonable basis for creating statute requiring the
use of seat belts there is basis for providing penalties.
THE AMM RECOMMENDS THE LEGISLATURE MODIFY THE MANDATORY SEAT BELT
USAGE LAW BY ADDING A PENALTY PROVISION TO ENHANCE THE
EFFECTIVENESS OF THE LEGISLATION.
V -P METROPOLITAN HIGHWAY FUND
It has been suggested recently that a Metropolitan Highway Fund be
created for special projects presumably in conjunction with major
economic development. On the surface this may seem a laudable
idea but when scruitinized in depth raises some major. concerns.
The first concern is funding source. If taken from Fiscal
Disparities it is in reality an unequal property tax increase in
the metro area. A direct metro wide property tax targeted for
economic advantage to a few areas would be unpopular at best and
considered by many to be unfair. A commercial /industrial property
tax increase to help competitors would be unfair and increase the
already large tax burden attributed to business. Any other
funding source would be subject to the same dialogue. The second
concern is the criteria for use and the beauracracy of decision
making and how to insure absolute fairness. Finally, if a separate
metropolitan fund exists to help construct special projects will
more general highway funds be skewed to out state or will the
legislature look at delaying or parceling off part of the motor
vehicle excise tax for other than highway /transit use ?.
THE AMM OPPOSES CREATION OF A METROPOLITAN HIGHWAY FUND BASED UPON
THE UNCERTAINTY OF FUNDING SOURCE, FAIR ADMINISTRATION, AND
POSSIBLE LOSS OF STATE FUNDS.

EDINA PARK BOARD
7:30 p.m.
October 14, 1986
Edina City Hall
MEMBERS PRESENT: Bill Lord, Marilyn "Wooldridge, Jean Rydell, Jim Fee, Mack
Thayer, George Warner, Joan Lonsbury, Don Wineberg,
STAFF PRESENT: Bob Kojetin, John Keprios, Ed MacHolda, Diana Hedges,
Madelyn Krinke
OTHERS PRESENT: Members of Garden Council
Joan Lonsbury called the meeting to order.
I. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF AUGUST 12, 1986
Don Wineberg MOVED TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE AUGUST 12, 1986 MEETING.
Jim Fee seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
II. BUDGET - FEES AND CHARGES
Bob Kojetin distributed a printed sheet of athletic association statistics
which contained a recommendation to present to the athletic associations at
a future meeting. (Copy "A" attached, )
Bob Kojetin explained that there are two men who work 7 -8 months per year,
one on general park fields and one at Braemar.
The Council, when reviewing the budget, recommended that the ball field
maintenance be cut by- $31,000. Mr. Kojetin stated that he thought the
Council's intent was that additional fees would be charged to the
associations to cover the amount cut from the budget. Mr. Kojetin's
question to the Park Board was, "should the Park & Recreation Department
charge the fees to the associations to cover the $31,000 cut from the
budget ". Joan Lonsbury.asked what some of the other communities are doing.
Bob Kojetin said he was not sure what others are doing, except that in most
communities there is a charge to adult athletics for using lighted fields.
Bill Lord stated that he feels that ball fields must be maintained at the
same level they have been in previous years because people living in Edina,
paying taxes have a right to expect that quality and to ask the youth to
pay another $5 to play on the fields is ridiculous.
George Warner commented that before charging each participant the
associations should be approached to see if they have surplus funds which
could be used to help defray expenses.
I
Jim Fee agreed with the idea of going back to the council and asking them
to reconsider the cut and at least allow Mr. Kojetin to have the option of
making the $31,000 cut fr3m his total budge;. rather than just from ball
field maintenance.
John Keprios asked if the council expected the reduction in the budget
would be made up by charging fees to the participants using the fields and
Bob Kojetin said he thought that was what they intended.
Joan Lonsbury commented that the athletic association registration fees are
already fairly high and to add another $5 would be out of line.
John Keprios stated that most other communities do not at this time charge
an additional fee for playing on the fields. He further mentioned that
every association now has a scholarship fund set up because there are some
who cannot afford the registration fees now.
Bill Lord MADE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND TO COUNCIL THAT THE PARK BOARD OBJECTS
TO THE REDUCTION OF PARK MAINTENANCE FUNDS BY $31,000 AND BELIEVE IT UNJUST
TO TRY TO COVER THAT DECREASE THROUGH AN INCREASE IN YOUTH FEES AND WOULD
LIKE THE CITY COUNCIL TO RECONSIDER THE CUT. Don Wineberg SECONDED THE
MOTION. Discussion on the motion pertained to the adult fees being
increased. The board agreed that was not pertinent to the motion. MOTION
CARRIED.
Bob Kojetin stated that the council had recommended a 10% fee increase on
all fees charged by the Park and Recreation Department, except the Art
Center fees which will be considered by the Art Center Board at their next
meeting. Mr. Kojetin distributed a sheet with the recommended fees and
charges (copy "B" attached). Marilyn Wooldridge MADE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND
TO THE COUNCIL THAT THE FEES AND CHARGES AS PRESENTED FOR 1987 BE
APPROVED. Motion was seconded. MOTION CARRIED.
III. GARDEN COUNCIL
Bob Kojetin reported that since the last meeting in June when the Park
Board directed the Historical Society to take a look at Arneson Acres for a
probable site there have been several meetings with the Edina Garden
Council. The Garden Council was asked if they would be willing to look at
sharing the site with the Historical Society.
Phyllis Kenaston reviewed several documents (copies "C" attached) which had
been given to Park Board members prior to the meeting, including a brief
history, results of a survey of Garden Council members and a recommendation
to the Park Board to approve of a master plan for Arneson Acres. Mrs.
Kenaston highlighted some of the volunteer services which the various
garden clubs have performed for the community. Mrs. Kenaston stated that
the Garden Council is willing to contribute financially to have a Master
Plan made and is willing to assist in any way they can to help implement
such a plan. The Garden Council needs were outlined by Mrs. Kenaston and
include the following:
2
At the Arneson House:
A meeting room for
A serving area for
A library space
100 people
coffee and refreshments
Adequate storage (flower show properties, etc.)
At the Greenhouse
A better heating system (replacing warming house heater
now in use)
Insulation
A new floor
Remove present walls between main room and storage areas
George Warner inquired if a Master Plan was done previously. Mr. Kojetin
replied that only the perennial flower garden area designed by Mort Arneson
had been done, and that the Garden Council is now asking for a Master Plan
of the other 15 acres as well as for the buildings.
Mrs. Kenaston stated that the Garden Council would like to have a master
plan drawn so that each year or every few years some phase of the plan
could be completed in the total development of the park.
Joan Lonsbury said she had always thought that Arneson Park was to remain a
passive park and that there would not be any active sports in it. Bob
Kojetin indicated that was correct.
Don Wineberg MADE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND THAT A MASTER PLAN BE DEVELOPED TO
ENCOMPASS ALL THREE AREAS AS OUTLINED IN THE GARDEN COUNCIL'S RECOMMEN-
DATION WHICH WILL INCLUDE THE ARNESON HOUSE, THE GREENHOUSE AND THE ACREAGE
WITHIN THE PARK, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IMMEDIATE NEEDS SUCH AS
HEATER, INSULATION AND FLOORING IN THE GREENHOUSE BE ATTENDED TO AS SOON AS
NECESSARY AND NOT DELAYED UNTIL COMPLETE MASTER PLAN IS DONE. Jim Fee
SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED.
Bev Harris, the President of the Garden Council reported on the results of
a survey done within the membership and the results of that survey
indicated that 77% were in favor of choice b)sharing the Arneson _house with
another group. The remaining 23% were split fairly evenly for the choices
of: a) exclusive use of the house by the Garden Council and; c) neither of
the other two choices. Mrs. Harris commented further that the general
consensus was that the house should not be unoccupied because of -the danger
of vandalism to an empty house.
Don Wineberg asked if there would be individuals giving input for a Master
Plan to whoever will be doing the Master Plan. Joan Lonsbury said there
will be a committee appointed to work with the staff and professional
people doing the plan. Joan thanked the Edina Garden Council for their
contributions to the City for the past years.

IV. RECREATION REPORT
John Keprios reported on the current Park and Recreation activities which
include adult volleyball and upcoming events which include adult bandy, a
new 4 -man hockey league, adult broomball. Hockey registration and youth
basketball have registered also for the upcoming season. Mr. Keprios
announced that Ed MacHolda has been working on plans for a Halloween party
for children. Mr. MacHolda gave more details on the party which will be
held at the Community Center on October 31, from 2 - 4 p.m. for children in
grades 1 -3. The Halloween party is a joint effort of Edina Park and
Recreation Department and the Kid's Club and is open to the first 400 who
pick up free tickets.
John Keprios stated that resurfacing of four tennis courts has been
completed; Van Valkenburg Park has been vandalized and is being closely
watched; new equipment has been ordered for Normandale and Wooddale and
should arrive in about two weeks; Arden Park received a new picnic table
which was one -half funded by neighborhood people.
Bob Kojetin mentioned adult soccer is now underway at the Edina Golf Dome.
V. OTHER
Joan Lonsbury announced a special Park Board meeting to be held on
Thursday, October 30th to discuss the Historical Society issue and also
possibly to meet with the athletic association presidents. Joan also
announced that since the second Tuesday of November is on Veterans Day, the
November Park Board meeting will be on November 18th and it will be held at
6:30 p.m. at Braemar Golf Course main room. A special presentation will be
made on the topic of" Networking Between Park Boards ", which was one of the
topics presented at the Minnesota Recreation and Park Association state
meeting in Duluth.
It was decided to send a letter of thanks to Wally Irwin for his generous
donation of a press box at the Braemar soccer /football field. The soccer
association and football association purchased a large scoreboard for the
fields and it is operated from within the press box which Mr. Irwin
constructed.
Joan Lonsbury referred to an article in the Edina Sun which told of the
Hockey Moms collecting hockey equipment and sending it to the iron range
and it was decided to send a letter of appreciation to the Hockey Moms for
those actions.
A thank you letter to the Park Board from the Edina Gymnastics Association
was read for use of the Weber Building and assistance from the Park Board;
also thank you letters from the Colonial Church and the Edina Community
Lutheran Church to Bob Kojetin for his recent talk at a Ministerial
Association meeting.
Bill Lord made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Don Wineberg seconded the

ARNESON HCUSE AND PROPERTY?
The following quotes come from the [-torten Arneson dedication of Arneson Acres
held on Thursday, July 15, 1976.
Mayor Van Valkenburn
excerpt "It is a tribute to Morton that he has continued to not only
make this gift, but to work with the Garden Clubs in desioning and planning this
for their use."
Mrs. Phvllis Kenaston (Garden Council President)
Mort, this evening it is a pleasure to be here. With this oarden as a beck -
ground and with all your friends from Edina gathered, we want to say a word to
you as part of our onocing friendship. We've looked to you as a friend and a
counselor and advisor. We of the Edina Garden Council have treasured this
association in the past. We look forward, however, to a continued association.
Your generosity and your vision for the things that you can see for Edina in
expanding your property and developing it; we share this dream and this vision
and we hope we can be a part of it. But we hope further that you will always
continue to have this interest and this sharino. Therefore, on behalf Of the
Edina Garden Council, we accept the trust that you have shared and we hope that
we can be everything that you want us to be and that we can carry forward some
of these thinos. On behalf, then, of all of our friends gathered, we thank you.
Gocd evening.

excerpt °I believe this is the first time it has ever happened in this
country; that a community has given 15 acres of ground and a home where members
of the garden club can take over and use as they please."
The following quote comes from a letter written by Warren C. Hyde, Edina City
Manager to his. Barbara Flanagan, Minneapolis Star and Tribune on July 7, 1976
Warren C. Hvde

tually used by Edina's twelve garden clubs as a headquarters and the grounds to
be used for plantings by the various clubs. "

SUBJECT: 1987 Public Health Nursing Contract
On September 16, 1985, the Edina City Council awarded the public
health nursing services contract to the Bloomington Division of
Public Health for calendar years 1986 and 1987. On April 25,
1986, the contract for calendar year 1986 was amended to provide
services for low income women and children through a Maternal
and Child Health grant funded through the Minnesota Department
of Health. The 1986 contract was increased by $5,000 and the
City of Edina received $11,260 in grant funds.
For 1987 the City of Edina will receive $11,710 in Maternal and
Child Health grant funds. Of this, $5,200 will be used to pro-
vide the additional services through the _contract with the Blooming-
ton Division of Public Health. The remaining $6,510 will be used
to offset the'costs included in the 1987 contract. The City of
Edina will receive $99,001 in subsidy and grant funds from the
Minnesota Department of Health in 1987.
At this time, it would be appropriate to amend the September 16,
1985 City Council action by increasing the contract amount by
$5,200 which will bring the 1987 Public Health Nursing Services
contract to $91,700.
Upon Council approval I will prepare the necessary contract
documents.

DATE: October 17, 1986
Hennepin County is currently in the process of bidding a project involving
West 66th Street from York Avenue to Sheridan Avenue. Earlier this year,
Edina City Council gave final plan approval to the project.
Hennepin County's project is estimated at $942,848.15. The County is
requesting that we enter into a construction cooperative agreement with
Edina, participating at an estimated $25,573.85 share.
Staff would recommend approving the agreement, with the funding source
being the State Aid Fund. Ninety per cent of the estimated share would
be paid in 1987 with the balance paid on completion of the job. Additionally,
a resolution is needed to authorize the Mayor and Manager to sign the
agreement.

September 8, 1986
TO: Members of the City Council
FROM: * Peggy Kelly
I have a growing concern that as we consider decisions involving
the use of our remaining undeveloped land and decisions involving
redevelopment, we may be in increasing conflict with our Mission
Statement which essentially states that our primary objective is
to foster and enhance Edina's original..concept of a single family
community and to protect existing housing and our residential
neighborhoods.
Consider the following statistics:
. 90% of our housing stock is in place
. Edina currently has 12,700 single family homes
._Edina currently has 7,600 multi - family units
. From 1970 to 1980, while the population remained
stable, total single family housing units in
Edina, decreased as a percentage of all housing
units from 83% to 62 %. Apartments and town
houses more than doubled from 15% to 35% of the
total housing units.
. The average rental unit pays $600 /mo. rent.
Couple the above statistics with the fact that 24% of our population
is over 65 (the highest in the first ring suburbs); only 32% of our
population has school age children and the Met Council estimates
that only 25% of our housing stock is affordable for first time home
buyers and it becomes clear that our focus should be on plans and
methods to increase our affordable single family housing stock and
I to increase the opportunities for young families to locate in Edina.
I believe it is fair to say that the majority of vacant land available
for new housing development will be under pressure for multi - family
development and in most cases, will encroach on single family neighbor-
hoods. Most will be luxury developments of increasing density. Is this
the direction we want to take? Why should we encourage more expensive
multi - family housing rather than innovative programs for single
family housing? The pressure for more density in housing not only
To: Members of the City Council
Page 2
causes conflict with existing neighborhoods, but it burdens our city
infrastructure - roads, sewers, drainage - which was designed for a
single family environment.
I am suggesting that the balance has shifted away from our primary
objective of enhancement of our single family community and that we
have more than enough multi - family housing to provide housing choices
for Edina citizens. The strength of Edina has been its strong sense
of community provided by its permanent residents.
I would like to recommend that we undertake a re- assessment of our
mission and comprehensive plan as it relates to housing and develop
specific programs to encourage single family housing development and
re- development. Perhaps it will begin with a workshop or symposium
on housing. There are many innovative programs (such as our Edinborough
mortgage subsidy program) which could be considered and a number of
experts in the Twin Cities who could be helpful to us.
In summary, we should establish a positive Council direction to:
Preserve and enhance our single family community and
neighborhood.
Examine methods for creating additional single family
housing.
. Make our housing more affordable for young families.
Be innovative and direct our growth rather than
constantly reacting.

reduction clause of the proposal would apply to this property. In response to
questions of the Council, Mr. Luce explained that the original densities were
based on existing traffic plans and sewer and water systems. He explained that
he believed that some areas could handle greater densities and that it would be
arbitrary to reduce densities across the board or to the current minimum density
range figure. Mr. Erickson opined that the Council would be in a stronger

11. PUBLIC HF.ARP:G on Clarification of Allowed Densities in the South, Southwest,
Q ' and Western Edina Plan Arras. � I ,J
P(i, Mr. Luce recalled that at the 7 -30-75 Planning Commission meeting, the
Commission recommended the Council approve a formula for reducing the allowed multi-
family densities in comprehensively planned areas of Edina, prepared by the staff
at the Council's direction and in response to discussion held at the 7 -2 -75 Planning
Commission meeting. The Planning Comnission.indicated, however, that that formula
should not apply to the South Edina Plan because that plan already contains extensiv-
traffic and land use controls and the land in that plan area has no significant
environmental characteristics. Mr. Luce indicated that at their last meeting the
City Council asked that the Planning Commission hold a public hearing pursuant to
�-
-state statutes to formally amend the comprehensive plans, including the south Edina
1 Plan, to reflect that density clarification.
Mr. Luce presented and read the proposed staff formula for reducing densities
which provides that: all multiple family developments with more than two units per
7 structure shall be zoned PRD; the density of any parcel shall not be greater than
that allowed by the comprehensive plan; and the maximum allowed density shall be
reduced cumulatively up to 50% according to certain measurable site characteristics
such as the percentage of slopes, the proximity to an accessible freeway interchange
and residential areas, and the amount of land below an established high water mark
or within or in proximity to a flood plain or wetland. He noted this formula would
not affect land which is already zoned.
Mr. Luce stated that letters were received from Mr. John Hedberg of Hedberg .
and Sons and from Mr. Bill Howard, spokesman of the Southwest Edina Homeowners
Association, in response to the notice of public hearing mailed to the affected
homeowner's associations and to the owners of property of .5 acres or more. .Mr.
Hedberg asked that the South Edina Plan be excluded from this clarification, and %Lr.
Howard indicated he is in favor of the proposal and that he, too, had contacted
the other homeowner's associations as well as the residents in his neighborhood.
Emphasizing that the deductions illustrated are purely estimates and are by
no means factual, Mr. Luce reviewed a chart identifying the affect of the prcposed
density formula on four sites chosen for.illustrative purposes. He noted that a
pending law suit was brought by Karl Krahl and the Gittleman Corporation against
the City of Edina, and the plaintiffs have requested an injunction prohibiting
Council action on the proposed density clarification.
e
Mr. Rick Davies (5412 Malibu Drive), representing the Parkwood Knolls/
Malibu Heights Homeowners Association, and Mrs. Dick Seaberg, representing the
i Viking Hills Homeowners Association, stated they support the adoption of the staff
formula for reducing densities. Mr. Bill- Howard (5808 Dewey Hill Road) , spokesman
for the southwest Edina Homeowners Association, agreed, adding that he believes the
prospects for reducing traffic in Southwest Edina will be greatly enhanced if
the proposed density clarification is approved and the comprehensive plans amended.
FM
Discussion followed. In reply to Mr. H: G. Haglund, Mr. Luce indicated he
I•... could not guarantee a reduction in taxes if the proposed density clarification is
iadopted and the comprehensive plans are amended; however, any change in market value
would be reflected by the City Assessor and may adjust the taxes.
' Mr. William Dale stated he has owned a 1/3 interest in the "Lowry Rill"
property for 15 years. He recalled that "about two years ago we had a sale for
ithe property in which a developer was going to build a three and four story wood
frame building with the appropriate number of units on it but it would cover quite
1 a bit of ground. That was passed by the Council but the money crunch came in and
the developer wasn't able to go ahead on it. Now we have a developer who wants
to develop it at the allowed number of units in the plan, but in place of four
istories wants to build five stories of concrete and steel; it would cover 24
percent of the land but the rest would be open space." He stated he has been payinc
taxes on the property for 15 years. "Now the City wants to cut the density in half
and the value is determined by the density allowed. I don't agree with this at all
and I am protesting this action."
i
Mr. Harvey Hansen stated that he purchased a small parcel of land immediately,
adjacent to the Braemar Oaks apartments based on the density allowed in the South-
west Edina Plan and based on his experience with Braemar Oaks. He commented "for
the record" that someone in a similar position may eventually cost the city a
great deal of money in legal fees.
Mr. Hughes, Mr. Lewis, and Mr. Runyan stated they are in favor of the proposev
density clarification. Mr. Hughes and Mr. Lewis noted that the Planning Commission
has been urging developers to reduce density for years. Mr. Runyan noted he support
the proposal because it responds to the wishes of a great many residents of Edina.-
Mr. Hughes moved the Planning Commission recommend the amendment of the
Western Edina Plan and Southwest Edina Plan to incorporate the proposed density
clarification formula, and, further, that the Planning Commission reconunend tho
South Edina Plan not he amended because traffic and land use controls are already
an integral part of that plan. Mr. Runyan seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Motion carried.

restraining order served on the City which enjoins the City from the adoption of
i a plan which will affect the density of the Karl Krahl property (located gener-
erally North of the Crosstown Highway and South of Vernon Avenue) pending deter -
mination of the issues. He said that the restraining order affects only that
property. but since the Krahl property is included in the total plan, the
Council should take no action on the plan at this time. Mr. Luce recalled that
Council had instructed the Planning Commission to consider the amendment of the
comprehensive plans of South, Southwest and Western Edina, but that the Planning
Commission had recommended that no modification be made in the South Edina Plan
at this time. Mr. Luce advised that under the proposed modification, develop -
went would have'to take place as a PRD zoning, rather than as R -3, R -4 or R -5,
I that the density of any parcel or tract in this area could be no greater than
that which is identified by the Comprehensive Plan and that in each plan density
would be reduced cumulatively up to 50% by the following percentages if the
following situations are applicable:

by U.S.F.W.S. Circular 39)

Mr. Luce clarified that adoption of the above recommendation would result in an
average reduction of density from 11 units per acre to approximately 8 units
per acre. He explained that property zoned R -3, R -4 and R -5 before 1971
would be excluded from such restrictions. Mr. Rick Davies, spokesperson for
Parkwood Knolls - Malibu Heights Residents' Association, spoke in support of the
reduction of densities recommended by the staff and by the Planning Commission.
Councilman Richards said that some people are of the opinion that the proposed
modification does not go far enough and encouraged Mr. Davies to make additional
requests for - density reduction. Mrs. William Scott, 6613 Southcrest Drive,
expressed concern that the South Edina Plan is not proposed to be modified. Mr.
Robert Hansen, owner of property on the South side of Krahl Hill, questioned
the fact that, once the road is built on his property, the only property
remaining would be on the hill and under severe restrictions. Mr. Luce told
Mr. Hansen that his property would probably be allowed six units per acre
under the proposed modifications. Mr. W. H. Howard, speaking for the Southwest
Edina Homeowners Association, said that his group feels that they would support
the modification as being a fair compromise to everyone concerned. Mr. Richard
Seaberg, President of the Viking Hills Homeowners' Association, said for the
record that "to maintain the high quality of Edina landscape, to protect what
remains of the natural environment and to minimize the potential increase in both
traffic and fire hazards that could result from increased density, we whole-
heartedly, we agressively, we enthusiastically, and we joyously recommend as a
minimal the adoption of the proposed density guidelines "', Mrs. Alison Fuhr,
6609 Brittany Road, questioned the 0 - 12 density, the water table and the wet-
lands, but said that she thinks that it is a commendable plan overall and that
she wholeheartedly supported the reduced densities. Mr.,Luce responded by sayinf
that established criteria had been used in making the recommendations and that
many houses built below the water table. He said that consideration of the
water table should be more the concern of the developer and that if the water
table is to be considered at this point, it should also be pursued for all
structures. A representative of Lowry Hill Enterprises objected to the modifi-
cations, saying that they are trying to construct quality housing and have made
♦hnlr n1nn- in comoll.•ince with the density requirements of the Southwest Edina
Plan. A resident of Dewey Hill Road and Mrs. Charlotte Burns, 5820 Dewey Hill
Road, expressed concern about existing densities and a proposed five story build-
ing. Mrs. Helen McClelland of Continental Drive, asked how Western Edina density
spreads could be further reduced. Mrs. Ann Overholt, 7 Overholt Pass, supported
the proposal as a "first step" toward reducing densities. Reference was made to .
a letter from Mr. John W. lledberg of Hedberg & Sons, requesting that the South
Edina Plan be deleted from the proposed clarification of permitted multi- family
densities in Edina. In response to a question of Councilman Richards, City
Attorney Erickson said that he believed that if the plan is applicable at all, it
should be applicable for all properties. covered and that he would not recommend
that any action be taken at the present time on properties other than the Krahl
property. As recommended by Mayor Van Valkenburg, Councilman Courtney's motion
continuing the matter until September 15, 1975, so that. the Council will have an
opportunity to read the restraining order, was seconded by Councilwoman Schmidt
and carried.

A0 Tented �IPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT GIVEN FINAL APPROVAL.
Affidavits of Notice were pre-
by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file. Mr. Luce recalled
that, following preliminary approval by the Council, the Comprehensive Plan
Amendment had been approved by the Metropolitan Council and is now before the City
Council for final approval. Mr. Luce reviewed the clarification of allowed multi-
family densities in the South, Southwest and Western Edina Plan Areas which pro-
vided that all multi - family developments with more than two units per structure
shall be zoned Planned Residential District, rather than R -3, R -4, or R -5, that
the density of any parcel or tract of land shall be no greater than identified
by the comprehensive plan governing that tract or parcel and explained that
maximum allowed density governing any tract or parcel of land in each Plan area
shall be reduced cumulatively (up to 50 %) by certain identified percentages and
certain identified situations. Mr. John Hedberg, representing Hedberg & Sons
Company, protested that the Planning Commission had recommended that the South
Edina Plan be deleted from the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. He referred to a
letter dated August 28, 1975 which he had sent to the Council and to the Planning
Commission. This letter had pointed out that Southeast Edina is considerably
different than other vacant properties in Edina and, therefore, the proposed
reduction of allowed multi- family densities should not apply to the South Edina
Plan, and particularly to the Southeast area for the following reasons: 1) that
there are no environmental concerns in the area; 2) that land use and density
are controlled by reference to traffic trip generation criteria and that the South
Edina Plan sets forth a commuter trail between W. 70th and W. 76th Streets which
is set up as a possible strip for transit facilities in the area to handle the
traffic which may be generated from existing commercial developments and future
non- residential and residential development in that area; 3) that sanitary
sewer, water and storm sewer lines were sized to accomodate the density and uses
which are permitted under the South Edina Plan; and 4) that there is considerable
open space and park land in the area. In reply to a-questi()i; of Mr. Hedberg, Mr.
Hyde ,pointed out that the location of the parks will be determined as the area
develops. Mr. Dunn pointed out that some of the utilities proposed for the area
were cut back upon Mr. Hedberg's request and added that if the size of the utility
pipes were reduced, the cost reduction would be minimal. Mr. Melvin Getrs.Al
was told that the- reduction-in density would not apply to Krahl Hill. Mrs. Alison
Fuhr, 6609 Brittany Road, objected that any structure should be constructed on an
18% slope. Mr. Robert Hanson, owner of property on the Crosstown Highway and
Gleason Road, was told that the Plan amendment would not reduce his presently pro-
posed density. Mr. Marsh Everson, 6710 Cahill Road, said that he had purchased
four acres of land on Cahill Road on the basis of its R -3 zoning. Following
lengthy discussion, Councilman Shaw offered the following resolution approving the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION
APPROVING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
BE IT RESOLVED that the Comprehensive Plan for the South, Southwest and Western
Edina Plan areas be amended as follows:
1. All multi - family developments with more than two units per structure shall be

2. The density of any parcel or tract of land shall be no greater than identified
by the comprehensive plan governing that tract or parcel.
3. The maximum allowed density governing any tract or parcel of land in the
South, Southwest, and Western Edina Plait areas shall be reduced cumulatively (up
to 50%) by the following identified percentages if the following identified
situations are applicable: 6
