IMPROVEMENT NO. P -BA -254
Marth Court: Cut -de -sac to W. 78th Street
The Edina City Council will on Monday, June 20, 1983 at 7:00 P.M. at the Edina
City Hall, 4801 W. 50th Street, hold a Public Hearing on the necessity and feas-
ibility of constructing Permanent Street Surfacing and Concrete Curb and Gutter
in and on the street listed above. Your receipt of this notice is an indication
that property whose ownership is listed to you is among those properties which
are considered to be benefited..
This hearing is a result of petitions received requesting these improvements.
The estimated costs for the improvement is listed below:
PERMANENT STREET SURFACING WITH
CONCRETE CURB AND GUTTER
IMPROVEMENT NO. P -BA -254 $28,854.02
It is proposed that this improvement be assessed on a per assessable foot basis
at an estimated cost of $31.10 per assessable foot. The corner properties on
W. 78th Street will be proposed to be assessed on a 1/3 basis as they paid full
footage on the W. 78th Street Improvement.
Construction of this improvement if approved, will be accomplished -in 1983.
Assessments would be levied in 1984 with the initial installment due in 1985.
The improvements are proposed to be assessed over a 10 year period. The present
condition of the Municipal Bond Market makes it difficult to determine the
annual rate of interest that will be charged on the unpaid balance, but it
will not exceed the maximum allowed by law.
The area proposed to be assessed for the cost of proposed improvements includes
Lot 1 and 2, Block 1, Winsor Addition; Lot 1, Block 1, Warren Hansen Addition;
Parcel 3700, Section 8, Township 116. R. 21 described as East 132 feet of S11

Dear Mr. Hughes:
J- A
June 17, 1983
I understand that there is a proposed rezoning of the property
located at the corners of County Road 18, Valley View and
Washington Avenue. 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

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.
If there is anything we can do to help this rezoning and further
assist thq cit}Yip making a favorable decision, give us a call.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND-PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
JUNE ..1, .1983
Z -83 -4 - Vernon Development, Co., 7208'Cahill Road. 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. NEW BUSINESS:
Z -83 -4 Vernon Development Co., 7208 Cahill Road. Generally located
west of Cahill Road and south of Braemar Oaks Apartments.
Mr. Hughes reported that 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.
He noted that the proponents are requesting a rezoning to PRD -3, Planned

submitted which illustrate a 36 unit three story condominium building. 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.

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.

MECS FACTSHEET
THE PROBLEM...
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.

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.

Dear Resident,
I would like to share some startling facts with you.
• 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
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.
Please start investing in energy conservation today. The savings you start
earning todav will only increase as energy prices rise.

LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS ACT TO STOP MONEY DRAIN IN
DATE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Several local community organizations are joining forces to help plug the
dollar drain on economy. 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

According to Mike,Murphy, Assistant Commissioner, DEPD, "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. People need to be informed about how the audit will
save them money. That is why we are pleased that community groups are takina a
lead role in marketing the audit program in their communities."

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.

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

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.

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

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

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
