Rosland, City Manager FROM : Chuyet V. Bui, S.E. Asian Resettlement Coordinator TIME : January through December 1978 It has now been more than 3 years since the refugees from Indochina arrived in the United - States. During that time everything has been going smoothly and a significant progress has been observed in their transition to the American society. After 3 years here, language barriers are being broken, self- sufficiency is being realized, other adjustments are being made.successfully to the cold winter as well as to the new culture and social system. No more serious problems arise from their daily life. Rather than some minor traffic violations, no law- breaking cases have been noticed in 1978. Some families keep moving in and out of the state but most of them have chosen to resettle permanently in Minnesota. In April 1978 one Vietnamese of 4 came to Edina from a refugee camp.in Thailand. They are among "boat people" who fled Communist VietNam at the risk of their life for the sake of liberty. As of December 29, 1978, the Edina Resettlement Program still covers: h families of 23 persons living in Edina 2 families of 11 living in Hopkins 2 families of 16 living in Richfield 2 families of 15 living in Bloomington 4 single adults living in Hopkins During the past year I have been working as part -time Indochinese Resettlement Coordinator. In this function I have been helping the refugees in : 1/ making application and getting interviews at the Immigration Naturalization Service in Saint Paul for the permanent resident status, the first step to American Citizenship. By the end of 1978 all the Indochinese refugees have completed the procedures and - received the Alien - Resident cards. 2/ completing and filing tax returns in order to get refund from the Federal and State Tax Services. - 2 - 3/ getting assistance from the CETA in vocational study or job training program. 4/ applying for the Rent Assistance Program sponsored by the Metropolitan Housing and Redevelopment Authority. Two families of 4 and 6 children are eligible for this program. 51 applying for loans at the banks to make various purchases ; house, car ... 6/ getting alien cards at the Post Office to report aliens' addresses to the Immigration and Naturalization Service in Washington D.C. 7/ contacting the Red Cross to get help in locating their relatives still scattered in refugee camps in Thailand, Malaysia, Hongkong, The Philippines. 8/ making applications for the financial -aid programs supported by the U.S. Office of Education such as: Basic Educational Opportunity Grant, College Work Study, National Direct Student Loan. 91 getting assistance from the Welfare Department for some families of many children. In addition, to help the refugees preserve their own culture and relieve their home - sickness, I have been cooperating with the Vietnamese League, the Catholic and Buddhist Associations to organize the traditional "Tet" Party in_Minneapolis for all the Vietnamese throughout Minnesota. Though my duty is limited to dealing with the refugees living in Edina or elsewhere but sponsored by some churches located in Edina, many a time I was requested to bring help to other refugees living in the Twin- Cities area. Following are some highlights of Indochinese refugees during 1978: Education: By the end of the academic year 1977 -78 students graduated from high schools -1 student graduated from the Department of Mechanical Engineering ( School of Technology, University of Minnesota ) -5 students got high grades (A or B) at the University. On the reopening day of school in September 1978: -4 children attend kindergartens -12 kids go to elementary schools -9 boys and girls go to high schools -8 students enrolled to begin or resume their study at the University. In addition, 2 adults graduated from the Mechanic Drafting School in Minneapolis. .......3/ -3- _ Housing: 5 families are living.in their own houses purchased with the help or guaranty of the sponsoring churches. Transportation: Except 1 family of newcomers, all the adults have passed the road test and gotten their driver license.. They can now afford'their own cars to go to`work, shopping or making visits to their friends and relatives. Emplpyment: To support their family, most of the refugees have adequate jobs.ranging from $8,000 to $20.,000 yearly. ` One refugee who was Doctor in Medicine in Vietnam already passed the FMGE (Foreign Medical Graduates Examination) and wa&r A" accepted to practise medicine in the University Hospital.

This one -day seminar will provide the tools and knowledge of government finance to effectively carry out your public responsibilities. Specifically, the program will enable you to: • Understand the participatory role of the elected official in the planning and budgeting processes. • Undertake your expected role in monitoring and controlling financial resources. • Understand your auditor's role and utilize his or her services more effectively. •. Become familiar with the more important financial warning indicators that could suggest existing or developing problems. PARTIAL TOPIC OUTLINE I. Planning and Budgeting A.

Friday, January 26,'l 979 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Sponsored by Women in City Government Presented by Government Training Service The primary responsibility of the elected official is to set policy, to make decisions about the community. Yet the road to successful policy formulation is fraught with uncertainties: • Where does policy making end and administration begin? • Who does what in the policy- making process? • Once you've got a policy, how do you change it? This program offers insights and suggestions for dealing with these questions and increasing your effectiveness as a policy maker. Here's a rare opportunity to review the tools at your command, learn new skills and techniques, and profit from the experiences of others. Why not invite a colleague or two for an evening of presentations, small group discussion and sociability. ALL elected officials and administrative staff are welcome! FEE The registration fee for this program is $7.50, payable with registration. Refreshments will be served following the program.

Date Signature Mail to: Registrar, Department of Conferences, University of Minnesota, P.O. Box 14084, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55414 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: Mayor and Council Mark Bernhard §on, Administrative Assistant TRANSPORT VEHICLE DONATION January 2, 1979 During the past few months, there.has been discussion of augmenting the current volunteer transportation program, which presently utilizes private vehicles exclusively, with a larger van /bus style-vehicle to permit trans- portation of a greater number of individuals and possibly widen the types of uses of the transportation program. Given the capital costs of a vehicle, the idea has remained in the discussion stages for proposal during the next budget year. In recent weeks, however, two parties have indicated interest in purchasing such a vehicle for the City. The first, is a private firm who will be moving into Edina, and instead of spending the money on a full - blown grand opening, they wanted to do something for the community into which they are moving. The other, is a local service organization which has been assisting the'City in various ways over the last several years. Between the two parties, a dollar figure in the neighborhood of $32,000- 38,000 exists. Appendix A outlines the program as envisioned at this point. It is the staff recommendation that if the donation would be accepted, that the vehicle be styled like _the Wayne Transette, as shown in the attached copy. This is presented at this point to notify Council of these possible donations, and to get indications as to how the City should proceed in relation to the matter. The private firm's grand opening is within the next month and a half and they would like a response in the near future. r- Mark E. Bernhardson Administrative Assistant APPENDIX A TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM WITH CITY OWNED VEHICLE The program proposed would consist of a combination of regularly scheduled runs in Edina and specialized trips both within and trips - outside of Edina. The regular service would be targeted principally for senior citizens and handicapped individuals and would be a combination of established routes with some on -call pickups available. Various groups affiliated with the City, such as the Sousa Band or the Art Center groups would also be able to utilize it. Scheduling would be through t•he Park Department. Drivers for the regular service are contemplated to be principally volunteers from the current program, who have or could obtain a Class B license.. If a fee is charged, perhaps some form of compensation could be arranged for the drivers. Alternative drivers could be from Public Works during slack times. Bloomington and Richfield currently have such programs and after experiencinq a start -up time from 6 -9 months, are fairly well utilized. Other operational costs, such as gas, etc., could be funded through fares, user fees, donations, grants, or.by the City. Insurance has been preliminarily Investigated and more in =depth information on coverage and costs are currently being compiled. Estimated operational and maintenance costs without payment of drivers, would be $3,600 per year, at 20,000 miles per year. Given an estimated life span of 7 years, the City should look at about $3 -3,500 per year in donations to fund a replacement, if desired. There is the possibility of Federal funding to assist in operating. costs if it is targeted for the seniors. The times indicated on sample calander are for the route system that would run through the various qua'.drants of the City to pick up and return Seniors to their homes. Open Scheduling are the times when regular activities are not taking place at the Center, it would be these times that the vehicle would be used for special activities such as; Mini Tours, Medical Days, and Shopping Days. These are activities that could be away from the Center and possibly outside of Edina. An example of a Mini Tour might be taking a smaller interest group to the Art Museum or to hear a lecture -- this would allow for this type of programming, in the past it has been necessary to find 30 or 40 people interested in a tour to make it possible to charter a bus. Medical Days would be for the purpose of taking Seniors to the Clinics at Creekside Center. Another possibility would be major medical centers -- this would be limited to those who could not use conventional forms of transportation and who could schedule their appointments on the Medical Day. Shopping Days would be trips to major shopping areas, again for those who cannot use or afford public transportation. Open Scheduling can be used for Educational trips such as classes at the Art Center or Normandale College, etc. HONDA /\ � !

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55435 PHONE (612) 925 -3000 January 4, 1978 Honorable Mayor Van Valkenburg and Council Edina City Hall 4901 W. 50th Street Edina, Minnesota 55424 Gentlemen: I wish to request the city council to make a resolution in support of the bus service proposal listed further on in this communication. The State of Minnesota offers financing to development -stage companies through the Economic Development Administration under the Business Development Assistance Program. This program requires that the local government unit where the business is to operate support the proposed development of the business. There is no financial respon- sibility nor liability to the City associated with a resolution of support. I am approaching the council in this matter because I am a resident of Edina, have my business address in this community and the proposed routes will serve Edina businesses. I propose to provide a traveler service using highway motor coaches having baggage bays and air conditioning on a regular route basis between hotels and the airport. Initially two routes would be pro- vided on a half hour schedule. First between the 494 - stadium area hotels and the airport. Second, between the 494 - Normandale hotels and the airport. The proposal would include separate routes for conventions, sports areas and shopping centers. In our authority granted from the Minnesota Public Service Commission under RRCC #660, we are able to charge a fare on a per passenger basis between hotels, shopping centers, restaurants and airport passenger areas. The service will have the following advantages over existing service: 1. Reduce congestion at the airport and hotels with fewer vehicles. 2. Provide better equipment to handle travelers and baggage. 3. Provide capacity to handle the larger demands of passengers from DC -10 and 747 aircraft and the ever - increasing air traffic. 4. Provide air - conditioning and P.A. Systems for comfortable and informed arrival in Minneapolis -St. Paul area. S. Provide more economical per person use of energy and labor. 6. Provide special routes for Sports and Convention Events. WIDEST RANGE OF EQUIPMENT, AT LOWEST COST r Honorable Mayor Van Valkenburg and Council January 4, 1978 Page two This authority will provide a service in the Minneapolis -St. Paul area which has been available in Rochester, Minnesota, Chicago, Seattle and many other metropolitan areas for many years. We will provide many new jobs in our start -up period and I would project at the end of the first year we will add even more. We also will have some part -time jobs and will be willing to work with rehab programs for training of employees. The service will be seven days per week and eighteen hours per day to the airport. Thank you very much for your cooperation in this matter. Very truly yours, j �� i�w I DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 480 CEDAR STREET ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 55101 April 6, 1977 Mr. Robert J.

You will be interested in knowing that the' next. year,or'two of the state's tourism program will be geared to developing greater convention and group business in the Metropolitan Area and around the state. _ Should this program meet with success, a service such as you have out - lined could benefit greatly from additional needs of those visiting the Twin City Metropolitan Area'.

My understanding is that your service is licensed by the State and utilizes full -size Greyhound buses on regu- lar routes between the various hotels /motels and the air- port. Given those facts, it would not appear that any local license is required to operate in the City of Bloomington. The City does have a taxicab licensing ordinance, but "taxicab" is defined as a vehicle having a seating cap- acity of no more than seven passengers and as not having a fixed route. Both of these criterion would seem to put you beyond the range of that ordinance. If you have any further questions, please call. ERB /mbs Sincerely, &�_ 1. Eric R.

Sincerely, O ' -- _ Ken k'isneski / Eicecu.tive Editor MEMORANDUM TO: Kenneth Rosland, City Manager FROM: Gordon Hughes, Director of Planning SUBJECT: Year III Community Development Funds, 50th and France DATE: January 4, 1979 The Year III Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) budget includes $30,000 for the 50th and France project. This budget earmarked these funds for land acquisition at-50th and France (i.e. purchase of a portion of the Red Barn site). Due to the complexities of Federal regulations concerning land acquisition, we elected to use H.R.A. funds for the Red Barn purchase and reserve the CDBG funds for construction activities at 50th and France. This alternate use of the funds was approved by Hennepin County and HUD. Staff is now requesting payment of the $30,000 to offset 50th and France construction activities undertaken last summer. As a formality, Hennepin County requests that the Council adopt a resolution requesting the re budgeting of these funds from land acquisition to construction activities at 50th and France. Staff re ommends adoption of such a resolution.
