I further understand that the proposed rezoning is for the establishment of a Dairy Queen Braizer restaurant. We live in Indian Hills on Cherokee Trail. Our family feel that the establishment of this restaurant would be a great addition to the area. We frequently are out around the Braemar area and there is not any establishment where one could have lunch or a snack. In our opinion this proposed Dairy Queen Braizer restaurant would be a very positive addition to the area. Sincerely yours, Lynn V. Odland 6301 Cherokee Trail Edina, MN 55435 cc: Chip Glaser 5759 Long Break Circle Edina, MN 55435 June 17, 1983 Gordon Hughes City of Edina 4801 West 50th Street Edina, Minnesota 55424 Dear Mr. Hughes, It has been brought to our attention that a Dairy Queen family style restaurant is being suggested for the property on County Road 18 and Washington Avenue. We've been asked for our opinion and our response is we not only support such an endeavor, but encourage it. So do many of our neighbors with whom we've chatted in the last week.

Generally located west of Cahill Road and south -of Braemar Oaks Apartments. Refer: to: Attached Preliminary; Development Plan The subject property measures 3.6 acres in area and is zoned R -2 Two Family Dwelling District. The site is bounded on the north by Braemar Oaks Apartments, on the west by a parcel recently rezoned to PRD -3 for Gittleman Corporation, and on the south by Lewis Park. Across the street to the east are industrial uses. The site is designated for medium density residential uses (6 -12 units /acre) by the Comprehensive Plan. The proponents are requesting a rezoning to PRD -3, Planned Residential District for the property. Preliminary development plans have been submitted which illustrate a 36 unit three story condominium building. Fifty underbuilding parking stalls and 22 exposed stalls will be provided on-the site. B -rick veneer is the primary exterior material. The proposed density for the development is 10.0 units per acre. Braemar Oaks Apartments is approximately 12 units per acre and the recently approved Gittleman project is 9.25 units per acre. The project appears to confrom with ordinance requirements as to setbacks, parking, building- height, and so forth. Recommendation Staff believes that the project is compatible in scale and design with the multi- family housing in the area. The project likewise conforms with the Comprehensive Plan and - Zoning Ordinance. .We are concerned with the proposed density of the site. As you know, the Council has been concerned with the density of multi- family developments in .recent years. Although the site can easily accomodate the number of units requested,. its density should not exceed that of the Gittleman project in order to be fair. Thus the project should be reduced to 33 units. Preliminary approval. is recommended conditioned upon: I. Acceptable overall development plans. (Grading plans and utility ;plans should ,be coordinated. with the .G.ittleman project.) 2. Final Platting. Community Development and Planning Commission June 1, 1983, Meeting. Page three Helen McClelland wondered what the Wallaces and the other neighbors thought of Mr. Price's 90 foot wide lot suggestion. Mr. Wallace did not approve of the suggestions noting that the garage on the south would block his view of the park. The neighbors, however, generally approved. Mr. Wallace also commented that the Board of Appeals and Adjustments was made up of many of the Planning Commission members. Should he apply for a variance, he would find it necessary to appear before these same commissioners. He felt that by placing a special encumbrance on his lot it would, be unfair, since none of the other properties, he assumed, in the neighborhood had one. Del Johnson questioned if Mr. Wallace would agree to a building restriction on the southerly 75 feet of the property if granted approval. Mr. Wallace did not agree to this. Mr. Price's son expressed his concern in the preservation of openness in this neighborhood in which he grew up. John Skagerberg moved for approval of the two lot subdivision as presented with the conditions recommended by Staff. David Runyan seconded the motion, roll was taken and the motion failed 5 - 4. The following were opposed: Bill Lewis, Helen McClelland, Mary McDonald, Len Ring and Phil Sked. The following voted in favor: Del Johnson, David Runyan, John Skagerberg and John Palmer. John Bailey obstained. No further motions were offered. Helen McClelland stated that she would recommend that the Council consider Mr. Price's proposal of a northerly 90 foot lot. Ill.

Fifty under - building parking stalls and 22 exposed stalls will be provided on the site. Brick veneer is the primary exterior materials. The proposed density for the development is 10.0 units /acre. Braemar Oaks Apartments is approximately 12 units per acre and the recently approved Gittleman project is 9.25 units per acre. The project appears to conform with ordinance requirements as to setbacks, parking, building height and so forth. Community Development and Planning Commission June 1, 1983, Meeting Page four Mr. Hughes said he believes that the proposed project is compatible in scale and design with the multi - family housing in the area. However, there has been concern for the density of multi- family developments in recent years. Although the site can easily accomodate the number of units requested, its density should not exceed that of the .Gittleman . project. Staff recommends a reduction to 33 units. He recommended preliminary approval conditioned upon: 1. Acceptable overall development plans. (Grading plans and utility plans should be coordinated with the Gittleman project.) 2. Final Platting. Mr. Bill Bale, Vernon Development Co., stated that the building was designed to preserve the present trees and shrubbery on the site. He reiterated Mr. Hughes statements in more detail regarding the setbacks, and the underbuilding parking. In reply to a question, he noted that the price of the units ranged from 85 - 88, 000 for a 2 bedroom and 95 - 97, 000 for a 3 bedroom. He felt that the proposed density was reasonable. Mr. Bale introduced Mr. Doug Moe, architect and Mr. Jim Culitan,.. contractor. Mr. Moe informed the Commission that the trees on the site played an important part. The condominium is proposed to be called "Ohio- Buckeye Condominiums" named after a large buckeye located on the site. He noted that the parking was kept away from the building as much as possible He reported on the exterior materials and noted that they were compatible with the surroundings. David Runyan noted that the Gittleman Corporation's project was closest to the residential area do the Vernon Development project-is located on 'a busy street in a somewhat industrial area. Why was there such a concern to match Gittleman's density? Mr. Hughes explained that Council has been cautious in the past to be consister . with overall density. Phil Sked wondered if the density was measured on just the particular piece of ground or was it based on a larger scope? Mr. Hughes stated that it was measured on the 3.6 tract._ Mr. Runyan wondered if 3 units could be taken off of the proposed plan. Mr. Moe reported that two would be more favorable if it were necessary to remove any. Mr. Del Johnson noted that the price would have to be increased if there were a cut back in the number of units and Mr. Bale agreed. The present price proposal is.comparable to the Gittleman project. Mr. Johnson motioned for approval of the preliminary rezoning subject to a reduction to 34 units. Helen McClelland seconded the motion. All were in favor; the motion carried. 0 .WO us -.7 41 . vq : P--.5pe 41 ., wo Kq YWrOiV VI "' 4U.-M "M w" 4pok7aw LL 4.1Mm -pw 45;+N -NIU.0.6 W.ewl al AJ.14P4;gd VIVO NVId 31JS 1 -- FRONT ELEVATION .

During 1982, the average homeowner in Minnesota paid $730 for natural gas. In 1983, this bill will jump to $840 as natural gas prices increase by 15% statewide. And by 1990 -- only eight years away -- this same homeowner could be paying $1790 if energy consumption isn't reduced. ACTION BEING TAKEN... The Minnesota Department of Energy, Planning and Development (DEPD) is concerned about the impact of rising energy costs on homeowners and renters in Minnesota. Consequently, DEPD is working with four major metropolitan utilities to provide home energy audits to utility company customers so they may learn how to use energy more efficiently and, thereby, save on home energy costs. The audit is a personalized walk- through examination of the home, and the program providing this service is called the Minnesota Energy Conservation Service or MECS.* HOW DOES MECS WORK? If a person receives a gas or electric bill from one of the four participating utilities listed below and lives in a single family home or in an apartment building of up to four units, he or she is eligible to receive a MECS home energy audit. The utilities participating in the metropolitan area are: • Northern States Power Co., • North Central Public Service, • Minnegasco, • People's Natural Gas Co. WHAT DOES A CUSTOMER RECEIVE WITH A MECS AUDIT AND HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? For a one -time cost of $10.00, which is added to the customer's existing utility bill, the customer receives the following information and services: • a personalized home energy audit covering 23 conservation and alternative energy measures, their costs, and paybacks, • a list of approved contractors and suppliers who can make these improvements, • information on how to finance home energy improvements, • post - installation inspections to determine whether the work was done properly, and • mediation services should they be found to be necessary to remedy complaints concerning the program. ** *PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MECS AUDITOR WILL NOT AT ANYTIME PRESSURE * ** OR REQUIRE THE CUSTOMER TO PURCHASE ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE. THE AUDITOR IS THERE TO PROVIDE UNBIASED, ACCURATE INFORMATION SO THE CUSTOMER CAN MAKE BETTER INFORMED DECISIONS REGARDING HOME ENERGY USE. *Federally mandated by the National Energy Conservation Policy Act of 1978. Administered by the Minnesota Department of Energy, Planning and Development. Page 2 MECS FACTSHEET WHO IS THE AUDITOR AND WHAT DOES HE OR SHE DO IN THE HOME? The auditor is someone who has received conservation and alternative energy use certification to perform the MECS home either be an employee of or on contract service. HOW DOES ONE REQUEST AN AUDIT? special training in home energy and who has received a state energy audit. The auditor will with the utility to perform this Upon receiving an audit offer in the mail from the utility or hearing about it in the community, the customer may call their utility and request a MECS audit. The auditor then calls the customer to arrange a time for the audit. Generally, the audit takes place two weeks but no more than 30 days from the date the customer requests it. The audit takes about two hours to perform, and the customer must be at home during the audit. Evening and Saturday audits can be arranged for greater customer convenience. REQUIREMENTS TO RECEIVE A MECS PROMOTIONAL GRANT 1. The community organization(s) involved in the MECS promotion must assign one person to oversee the promotion, make sure the grant is spent properly, and act as a contact person for project follow -up. 2. Before the grant is awarded, the contact person, working with the community organizations involved, must prepare the enclosed grant application; it is short and easy to prepare. After we review and upon our approval, we will send a check for the grant to the assigned contact person. The grant amount is based on the size of the population in your community that is eligible to receive a MECS audit. 3. Although you-cannot endorse a product, company, or business person through your promotion, you can have the name(s) of a business(es) or other organization(s) appear on the endorsement line of the marketing materials if they support your promotion either through a financial contribution or in -kind services. If the mayor or city council supports your promotion, be sure to mention this on the endorsement line also. 4. Wording of flyers, etc. can be changed. You can add names of organizations or businesses endorsing the campaign (See 3 above.) or any wording to the effect that your organization is concerned about the energy problem, supports energy conservation, etc. However, please call my office and read to me the changes so I can confirm that there are no possible misinterpretations. 5. Send us the one -page follow -up form 90 days from the receipt of your promotional grant. You might also include any receipts to verify your expenditures. SUGGESTIONS 1. Aim your marketing campaign to more than the members of your own organizations. You might refer to the marketing hints we have enclosed in the Tool Kit. 2. If at all possible, implement your campaign before 90 days have elasped from your receipt of the grant. It will make accounting of the grants much easier. 3. Since DEPD has only one grant per community, organizations interested in the promotion are encouraged to work together as a unit for the planning and implementation of the promotion. Three advantages of working together are: you may get more creative ideas, you may have more clout if you solicit additional funding, and you will definitely have more resources to draw upon. If you have any questions, please call me at 296 -1848. Thank you. A4 Susan R. Moore Community Energy Coordinator Department of Energy,.

In 1983, this bill will jump to $840 as natural gas prices increase by 15% statewide. And by 1990 -- only eight years away -- this same homeowner could be paying S1790 if energy consumption isn't reduced. .:hat do these rising energy prices mean to our corj-nunity's economy? • Between 60 and 85% of the money we spend for energy is drained from our local economy. This means less money is spent and fewer jobs are created locally. What do these rising energy prices mean to Minnesota's economy? • In 1990, there could be 85,000 more jobs if cost - effective conservation measures and renewable energy resources are implemented by Minnesotans. By 2000, this figure could increase to 200,000. What can he do as a community to lower some of our energy costs? SIGN UP FOR A HOME ENERGY AUDIT OFFERED BY YOUR UTILITY. Nearly 25% of the energy consumed in Minnesota is used in homes. Nearly two- thirds of the homes that exist today will still be around in 2000, and most of them are not as energy efficient as they could be. One way to stop the drain on our community's economy and our pocketbooks is to find out what we can do to improve our home's energy efficiency. The audit, known as the Minnesota Energy Conservation Service, costs only $10.00 and is available only from your utility. You will also learn during the audit where you can go to qet financial assistance to make your home energy improvements. For instance, you may be eligible for loans from the t•linnesota Housing Finance Agencv at an interest of 3 to 13.5% depending on household income.

That drain is the increase in home energy costs that is expected to jump from $, million paid by residents this past winter to S_ million in 2000 according to Minnesota Department of Energy, Planning and Development (DEPD) projections. The dollar drain means less money is spent in and growth in jobs is curtailed locally. Consequently, are participating in a home energy conservation project which has been endorsed by Mayor The goal of the project is major savings in residential energy use and payments by getting people to sign up for a home energy audit through their utility. The audit program, known as the Minnesota Energy Conservation Service, involves a thorough examination of a home by a certified auditor from the utility who will explain where energy and money can be saved, specific conservation measures for those savings, and where financing can be obtained.

The Strategic Issues are identified through an extensive assessment by the Board. Your input and your identification of objectives or goals that should be attained by this district are critical to the assessment process. Schools reflect the community they serve. The standards and aspirations prescribed by the community develop the character and quality of that community's public institutions. Please take a moment to review the attached material and provide on the form entitled "Strategic Planning - 1983 -84" what you consider are key issues -- goals, objectives, desires -- that our school district should work toward over next year or the next several years. Please return the form to the Board of Education at your earliest convenience. Thanks for your assistance. RHL:np Attachments ?r t of Schools p.s.

KEY ISSUE: KEY ISSUE: KEY ISSUE: KEY ISSUE: KEY ISSUE: KEY ISSUE: Return to: Ralph H. Lieber 5555 W. 70th St. District Office Edina, Minnesota 55435 STRATEGIC NEED I To create within our school district more effective and visible methods to recognize and encourage institutional and personal excellence through staff motivation and development that identify, emphasize, and reward creativity, initiative, and high performance standards associated with quality. Why Important: We must continue the effort, with both staff and administra- tive personnel, to encourage, recognize,.and appropriately support individual and group creative work and innovation that increase productivity without sacrificing educational standards in order to perpetuate excellence in times of change. We must avoid and /or overcome the barriers injurious to personal relations that tend to result from the formal and necessary bargaining pro- cess in order to foster and maintain the mutually respectful atmosphere in which the best, most cooperative work is accomplished. Good decisions require effective communications, acceptance of responsibility, and attention to cost effectivenss. Absent real as well as perceived progress in meeting this need, the present high standards as well as the future opportunities of the School District will be greatly diminished. ACTION PLANS A. Develop a peer in -house grant system that recognizes outstanding present contributions and /or the high potential of future contributions of individuals and /or groups. Purpose, criteria, and procedures for the grant system will be drafted by an Employee Committee and presented to the Superintendent by December, 15, 1982. The final document will be presented to the Board for budgetary considerations by mid - January, 1983. ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE: The Board of Education received background information for such a system during its budget deliberations beginning in December, 1982. After con- sideration, the Board approved $8000 for this purpose in the 1983 -84 budget. Contact was made with the representative teacher organization in late fall, 1982, identifying the purpose and organization of such a system. With Board budget approval, a peer in -house grant program will be organized and implemented for operation this coming school year. A committee of teachers and administrators will meet this summer to determine program details. B. The Superintendent will initiate a series of staff dialogues that focus on such topics as creating incentives, reorganizing work through such efforts as shared contracts and multiple -role opportunities, and developing healthy staff attitudes. Those concepts that emerge will be drafted into an implementation plan for staff review and comment by April, 1983. A redrafted proposal will be submitted to the Board of Education by May, 1983. The Board's review and comments will determine the subsequent policy direction. ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE: Considerable dialogue took place with well as with the Committee of Twelve, Board Salary Committee, and the Board arose which have been implemented and teaching and administrative staff as the Meet and Confer Committee, the Policy Committee. Several concepts funded. Those concepts are: Shared Contracting -- A method by which teachers or administrators can s -are contracts with their colleagues or between one another or between people in business and industry possessing appropriate credentials. The Board Policy Committee has drafted and the School Board approved a policy permitting shared contracting. Evaluation of the policy will occur at the end of the 1983 -84 school year. To date, six teachers are sharing contracts. Brokering -- An opportunity for any employee in the district to assume a specific responsibility that concludes with the completion of a specified task or series of activities. In some instances, outside resource people will be sought. People who assume brokering respon- sibilities receive a stipend for their services in addition to peer recognition. Monies for brokering were made available through the reduction.of an administrative position. Many functions of this posi- tion will be brokered at a total cost less than that of maintaining the administrative role. Grant Writing -- Any established criteria (limited to 10). If is returned to the s not only recognizing of expertise but may money. employee who writes a grant that meets the of the Grant Advisory Committee may receive $250 the grant is funded by an outside agency, the $250 :hool district. This program has the potential of employees for obtaining grants in their given areas enable the district to expand services with "soft Employee Recognition Tea -- All employees who are retired or have served the district 25 years are recognized at a special tea sponsored by the Board of Education. Personnel Employee Mini - Sessions - -A series of mini.- sessions (information or study sessions ) on matters of interest to the school district's employees has begun. An interest survey was taken of the total staff. Two evening sessions were held on the two topics of highest interest, planning for retirement and money planning and investments. Several additional sessions will be held during the 1983 -84 school year based on. topics selected by the staff. Career Workshops -- Multiple session seminar enabling teachers to make career changes more easily was held during May, 1983. Through PTA sponsorship, a brochure has been prepared identifying staff members interested in career change. The brochure will be disseminated during June, 1983. -2- C. Through Meet and Confer at least one new concept relating to improved communications during negotiations will be developed (April, 1983). ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE: School Board and teaching staff members discussed several methods by which communications during negotiations can be improved. The following is a result of those discussions: • setting ground rules for negotiations • working toward mutual press releases when appropriate • restating to one another what tentative agreements have been reached at the end of each negotiation session • maintaining a "balance" during negotiations, understanding that on occasion there will be some tension before a resolution is reached. The PTA President Council met with representative members of the teacher organizations and Board liaison member to encourage each party to keep the communication process open and to recognize their responsibility in maintaining the high caliber of instruction during the period of negotiations. D. Assessment of the staff communication process will be completed by June, 1983. Every staff member will have an opportunity to engage in a dialogue about the kinds of communication that are important and about the best methods to both send and receive messages in a positive manner as well as initially perceiving school events and activities positively. ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE: The Superintendent and the Director of Education, together, held meetings with each building staff for the express purpose of discussing communica- ions -- openness, trust, and the identification of ideas that could help improve the school system and the school climate. Fifty -two ideas emanated from those discussions held during the school year. Ideas varied widely, dealing with instruction, staff morale and health, procedures, communica- tions, and building maintenance. A second meeting was held with each building staff, enumerating the ideas collected throughout the school system and identifying where policy and procedures dealing with the ideas have already been accomplished or set in motion. Several of the ideas were incorporated in the 1983 -84 school budget and will be implemented the coming school year. Other ideas were presented to the Committee of Twelve for consideration and still others for further dialogue with teaching and administrative staff. The Committee of Twelve has also been used as a vehicle for receipt of staff suggestions and communication. Most, but not all, of the suggestions sent to the "Suggestion Program" dealt with improving student performance or actions that could save the school district money. -3- During the 1983 -84 school year, each building will develop its own strategic plans. Sitting.on the Building Strategic Planning Committee will be members of the teaching and administrative staff, parents, and where appropriate, students. STRATEGIC NEED II To make an assessment of our current and possible future uses of technology in our instruction, curriculum, and management, This assessment,activity should be planned to produce a basis for each recommendation or process, a timeline for development, and an approximate cost. Why Important: We have made investments in technology for instruction and management programs. Our recent curriculum studies have included some exploration of technology as both an area of .study and an aid to learning. We now need a master plan that will keep us informed of the state of the art, and that will integrate technology in curriculum, instruction, and management in an efficient and cost - effective way. We also must include planned ongoing staff inservice to make fuller use of the equipment we now have and to prepare staff for participation in future decisions about the need for and the uses of technology in the instructional process. ACTION PLANS Under the auspices of the Board of Education's Curriculum Committee an Educational Technology Steering Committee.will be established for the purpose of developing a comprehensive educational technological use and development plan in addition to a curriculum computer usage study. 1. The Committee formation will be comprised of "in the field" experts, citizens, staff, and members of the School Board. The first meeting will be held during November, 1983. 2. The Committee will make an initial assessment of current technological use and projected staff needs in the area of instruction, curriculum, and management (January, 1983). 3. The Committee will develop a detailed plan, over the next three years, for a K -12 computer education curriculum. The plan will include .curriculum design, appropriate articulation and inservice, capital needs, and a statement of compatibility with all areas of technological growth. 4. By November, 1983, the Committee will develop a comprehensive three -to- five -year technical -use plan for the district. This plan.will be presented to the Board of Education's Curriculum Committee for review. 5. The Board of .Education's Curriculum Committee will present a "Curricular Position Paper" to the Board of Education by August, 1983, identifying future "technical curricular" and technical application and direction for the school system by December, 1983. -4- ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE: Two committees were organized to carry out the Board's objective and action plan, a Curriculum Coordinating Committee and a Technology in Management Committee. The purpose of the Curriculum Coordinating Council is to analyze the current curriculum to determine the degree of technological applications occurring within the Edina School's program of study. Further, this committee, currently consisting of three Board members and the Curriculum Coordinating Council, and soon to be augmented by other staff members at large, is in the process of studying the state of technological need in the field of curriculum, discovering and stating the extent of technological application necessary for our students. This committee initiated two major presentations to the Board of Education. The first presentation occurred in the fall. Two "experts in the field" spoke to the technical state of the arts in business and industry and the potential educational requirement young people will need to continue the technological emphasis. Each also did some forecasting which enabled the district to acquire a broader vision regarding technology. The second presentation was comprised of staff members who identified district functions and activities wherein some form of present day technology has been applied. The report has been printed and made available to interested parties. By November the committee is targeted to develop a comprehensive three -to- five -year curriculum development plan to the Board of Education. A second committee dealing with the use of technology in management and system organization has been engaged in an extensive needs assessment to specifically determine what activities, tasks, and functions are in need of more rapid data analysis, data availability, or multiple needs of cataloging. This needs assessment has led the committee to identify those areas where technology can be most beneficially applied. The range of application extends from personnel systems to taking library inventorys to tickler files to technical training. By August, 1983 the committee will present a report to the Board of Education identifying organizationally the highest and best use of technology, degree of difficulty in implementation, prioritized needs, and a three -to- five -year time and action calendar in generalized terms. Once Board determination is made, the committee by December will complete what hardware should be acquired and its associated cost. In anticipation of a technological thrust, the Superintendent restructured the administrative staff to create a new position: Coordinator of Technology. This position is assigned the primary responsibility of bring to this district and hence to curriculum and instruction those tested concepts and programs available. Inservicing of staff in the understanding and use of word processors, micro- computers, and interactive cable is well underway. Thirty staff members have requested a three -day word processing seminar given through our own community education. Community education has responded to the technological skills required by our society as it has and will continue to offer classes to students and adults in microcomputer programming /word processing as well as presenting topics of significance on interactive cable T.V. -5- A newly devised course for 3 -6 Edina teachers focusing on T.V. production has - been established by the Schools Cable T.V. cooperative. This course enables our district to present educational programs of acceptable quality to our own students based on our district's educational objectives. STRATEGIC NEED III To assess, select, and implement ways to determine the public's present attitude toward education in our public schools and to increase our community's awareness of our schools, their educational importance, their quality, and their need for unflagging support. Why Important: We must find ways to determine what our citizens think about public education in Edina and to increase the awareness and backing of all our constituents. We must find ways for more people to have meaningful involvement in our planning and in our activities. Ours is an aging community. As fewer households have children in our schools, there are more citizens who have no direct contact with our schools, little current information about our programs or achievements, and therefore too little interest in our concern about our financial struggles and our need for their understanding and support. ACTION PLANS A. Set up a survey system that may be utilized to gather information necessary for assessment and implementation. 1. Conduct at least two surveys through community sampling by February, 1983; one of these surveys will.be a local poll based on the most recent Gallop Poll of the public's attitude toward the public schools; another will be a shortened version of the community survey done by our Citizens' Task Force in 1977. Both surveys will emphasize the interests, awareness, and communication needs of non - parents. 2. Results of these surveys will be reported school personnel and committees, and the 3. From these results areas of communication plans for implementing such communication Plans for improved communication with and community will be developed and presented consideration by March, 1983. to the Board of Education, community. need will be prioritized, and systems will be developed. involvement of the entire for the Board of Education's 4. Two or more aspects of the plans will be undertaken by June 30, 1983. ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE: The Gallop Poll Survey was combined with that of Force Poll taken initially in 1977. A resulting random computer- selected stratified sample of the conducted by trained volunteers. The sample poll • Edina School Parents • Edina Non - Public School Parents • Those Under 65 - Non - Parents • Those Over 65 - Non-Parents the updated Citizens' Task questionnaire was given to a community. The poll was was stratified as follows: A Silicon office computer program was written by Edina staff members to analyze the data received. Data is currently being organized in report form for presentation to the Board of Education in July, 1983. A second report will be presented to the Board in August displaying the data gathered from a random sample of Edina staff members and 10th grade students who completed the same questionnaire that was given to the community. Upon conclusion of the Board of Education's study of the findings of those reports and dissemination to and feedback from the community and staff, a new series of projects or procedures regarding communication, curriculum, and school organi- zation may be forthcoming. -7- 1. 2. SUPERINTENDENT'S OBJECTIVES 1982 -83 To implement the Board's Strategic Issues for 1982 -83 as identified in the Board's Time and Action Calendar. Standard of Performance Re erence: Strategic Issues 1982 -83. ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE: Please refer to report - Strategic Issues - copy attached. To establish a study committee that will explore and respond to the question, Does the Edina Community need one or two junior high schools in the projected future? Standard of Performance T e preparation and presentation of a written report to the Superintendent providing ample data and rationale for the committee's recommendation(s). ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE: The Board of Education received an extensive report from the Superintendent and his advisory committee at the public Board meeting, April 11, 1983. Members of the committee were introduced by the Superintendent as follows: Judy Cunningham, Jean Reissner, Anne Maguire, parents; Roger Peterson and Rollie Ring, staff members. The Superintendent reviewed the report and its accompanying recommendations with the Board of Education. The Board of Education is now in the process of reviewing the report and seeking community input and direction during the coming school year with a final decision.occurring in early spring, 1984. 3. To study and recommend to the Board of Education an organizational responsibility level for each administrator serving the Edina Public Schools. Standard of Performance The preparation of an organizational chart identifying positions, length of work year, position relationships, and rationale for these relationships. ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE: A new organizational chart identifying centralized and decentralized roles, lines of responsibility, and corresponding authority has been prepared and distributed. The Superintendent and President of the Edina Schools Council, have been working with the Management Assistance Project in an effort to objectively accomplish the third objective with the help of an agency unrelated to the schools. M.A.P. is supported by major businesses in the Twin Cities for the express purpose of assisting other organizations with their management concerns. By December, 1983, the Project's.management team, gathered expressly for the Edina'Schools project, will have reviewed the Edina Schools administrative job descriptions, role relationships, the process that the school system uses for establishing administrative salaries, and the process used for reevaluating salary levels. The M.A.P.'s project people will also comment on the appropriateness of the weeks of work for each administrative position and will attempt to make salary comparisons between like positions in business, industry, and education. 4. To, develop a plan to integrate the Performing Arts Center's program where appropriate with that of the Edina Public Schools' program. Standard of Performance multi-year pan will—be developed indicating action to date and projected activities that will enable students to receive training in the Performing Arts as an adjunct to their school program. ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE: A two -year plan for integrating the Performing Arts Center's program where appropriate with that of Edina Public Schools was presented to the Board of Education at its regularly scheduled meeting on May 9, 1983. Included in the plan were criteria necessary for the selection of instructors, as well as the number of courses that would be approved by the Board and affixed to a student's school transcript. The Board of Education has placed in policy the number of courses completed at the Performing Arts Center that may be assigned to'a student's school transcript. The Performing Arts Center of Edina in its development of long range plans, has acquired a director and is working closely with the Edina Schools under the auspices of Community Education. 5. To address the need for a stronger global education emphasis in our social studies curriculum for the purpose.of developing an appreciation of world cultures and the interdependence of nations and peoples. Standard of Performance A restructuring of the social studies sequence to include a semester global education course or, alternatively, the identification of additional global educational objectives in our present social studies sequence so as to give these courses a global perspective. ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE: Recommendations of the School Board's Curriculum Committee has resulted in extensive staff study and revision of the school district's social studies curriculum. Staff members have reviewed the current curriculum to ascertain the degree and grade levels where global objectives currently exist. Objectives associated with a global approach have been highlighted or reinforced. Instructors of American history are already providing a greater awareness on a multi- nation's view our country's history. The district's 8th grade Georgraphy course is being reworked to include area studies in addition to the topical approach. One area will include Latin America; a second area will be selected by the classroom teacher. The current 12th grade Contemporary Social Problems course is being substantially revised and will become Contemporary World Problems thereby enabling the students to study world ,issues from multi - perspectives. A complete report on the social studies curricular changes will be provided to the Board during the 19.83 summer. -9- R1 MEMORANDUM TO: KENNETH ROSLAND, CITY MANAGER FROM: MARCELLA DAEHN, CITY CLERK SUBJECT: APPLICATION FOR TAXI CAB LICENSE - Airport & Airline Taxi -Cab Corporation DATE: JUNE 20, 1983 An application has been received to license 55 taxi cabs from Airport and Airline Taxi -Cab Corporation.
