YOUR GUIDE TO SAFE
BICYCLING IN EDINA
EDINA is a caring community. The Edina Citizens Safety Council cares about you. WE
want YOU to enjoy your bicycling experience in Edina.
THE way in which you operate your bicycle
can determine your own safety and enjoy-
ment, as well as the consideration of others
toward you. In other words, OBEY AND RE-
SPECT TRAFFIC SIGNALS AND THE
RULES OF THE ROAD.
Y �
Y i
PATHS
We have in our beautiful community a newly
completed bicycle and jogging path system,
but remember that —
PEDESTRIANS COME FIRST
You must be careful, as a cyclist, not to collide
with a pedestrian when both of you are on the
same path.
For information on the loca-
tion of these paths, consult
the Edina Park and Recrea-
tion Activities Calendar.
SHOPPING
CENTERS
WHEN your are patronizing one of Edina's
many shopping centers such as
• CAHILL
• 44TH AND FRANCE
• 50TH — FRANCE — HALIFAX
• GRANDVIEW
• SOUTHDALE
• YORKTOWN
Do not operate your bicycle on the sidewalks.
These areas are congested with people walk-
ing in and out of the many shops — people of
all ages — many carrying packages. If you
strike a pedestrian while riding your bike on
the sidewalk, you can be held responsible for
the accident. It's possible, too, that you or the
pedestrian could be thrown into a shop win-
dow and be seriously cut and injured. Bike
racks are provided in these areas for your
convenience. You are encouraged to use
them — and remember to LOCK YOUR BIKE
so that it will not be stolen.
INTER-
SECTIONS
WHEN you are traveling on a street and come
to an intersection which is controlled by a traf-
fic signal, we encourage you to walk your
bicycle across the intersection.
BE ALERT AT ALL INTERSECTIONS
especially while traveling on busy roadways.
i
CLOTHING
WHEN operating your bicycle, please be sure
to wear light- colored clothing. In this way you
can be seen more easily by people driving
cars. Use of reflective material on your clo-
thing and shoes also increases your safety
because you can be seen at a greater dis-
tance.
CHECKLIST
FOR SAFE BICYCLING
WHEN was the last time you looked at the equipment on your bicycle?
Here is a good checklist to follow:
Check and adjust brakes.
Oil where necessary.
Check proper seat height
adjustment. Your knee
should be slightly bent at
the bottom stroke of the
pedal while seated. This
allows for proper muscle
travel and relaxation.
IS( Are your tires worn out or
do they need air? After all
you could be stranded a
long way from home with
a flat tire.
N1Do you have a pant guard
as well as a chain guard?
If you happen to get your
pant leg caught in the
chain, it could cause you
to lose your balance and
fall into the path of an on-
coming car.
N1If you ride your bike after
dark, it should have a
headlight and reflector.
State law requires that
each bicycle be licensed.
Mark your bicycle with
your Operation Identifica-
tion number.
TRAFFIC SIGNS —
IN your travels on your bicycle, you are re-
quired by law to obey all traffic signs. This
means stopping for stop signs and
semaphores, obeying yield signs and always
riding in your right hand lane.

ment.

play and to visit. We need your enthusiastic
cooperation.
Are your handle bars ad-
justed to fit your riding
position? Are they
straight? Are they lacking
handle grips?
Is your bike properly re-
flectorized? You should
have a reflector on the
front and rear of your
bicycle. Reflectorized
wheels can be purchased

be applied.

placing? The newer ped-
als are reflectorized.

April 17, 1979
Mr. Robert Sherman
Edina Optimist Club
5200 Tifton Drive
Edina, MN 55435
Dear Mr. Sherman:
I am proud to recommend two persons for the 1979 Community Service Award
during the Optimist's "Respect for Law" observance.
These persons are Lieutenant Mancel Mitchell of the Edina Police Depart-
ment and Fire Inspector Rick Myre of the Edina Fire Department.. ..
Lt. Mitchell is a dedicated public servant who has been in the police'
service since 1970. He served as a patrol officer from 1970 to 1975 when
he was assigned duties as the department's Crime Prevention Officer. In
this role he was integral to Edina's outstanding crime prevention efforts
including Operation Identification.
In early 1977, Lt. Mitchell was promoted to his current supervisory rank
and charged with the responsibilities of the Investigative Division of
the Police Department. His efforts in this role were nothing short of
outstanding and he personally supervised two of the largest property crime
investigations in the history of the department. These investigations
led to successful prosecution and the recovery of over $150,000 worth of
merchandise.
Now, in 1979, Lt. Mitchell is assigned to the Patrol Division. He currently
supervises all police department operations during periods he is on -duty
and furthermore, oversees the crime prevention and community relations.
aspect of the organization.
The character of his work continues to be outstanding and has prompted this
recommendation.
To further describe the type of person represented, a brief personal biog-
raphy is included. Lt. Mitchell has resided in Edina virtually his entire =
life and is an outstanding product of the community. He is married and has
two children. Lt. Mitchell is a graduate of the University of Minnesota
and a graduate of the National Crime Prevention Institute of the University -
of Louisville.
- 2 -
Lt. Mitchell is almost as active civically as he is professionally. He is
a member of the board of directors of Edina ABC (A Better Chance) which
enriches educational experiences deprived of urban youth. He is an officer
of the Wooddale P.T.A. He is a member of several professional organizations
and, lastly, he is a member of the board of South Hennepin Human Services
Council.
His specific accomplishments are too numerous to highlight. In general; he
portrays the dynamic leadership the City of Edina demands and through his
outstanding community service, in fact, receives..
The second recommendation for the Community Service Award is Fire Inspector
Rick Myre of the Edina Fire Department.
Fire Inspector Myre has been a firefighter for the City of Edina since 1973.
In 1974 he was assigned primary duties as a Fire Inspector while remaining
fully qualified as a basic firefighter. His current Fire Inspector duties
are geared to fire prevention which save_ the community untold lives and
property.
In the course of Fire Inspector Myre's Fire Department career, he has-developed
a keen interest in arson investigation. This crime is very difficult to
investigate and equally as difficult to prosecute. The crime of arson is
estimated to be related to 15 -30% of reported fires on a national basis.
Additionally, as much as 40% of fire losses may be attributed to arson.
Through Fire Inspector Myre's education and training, his devotion to duty,
and dedication to self- improvement through self -study and numerous volunteer
hours of investigation, he has become one of the most competent arson invest-
igators in the greater metropolitan area. This competence has paid off in
a current lengthy investigation which is presently in the criminal charging
phase and more.so in the daily analysis of fire scenes. The active investi-
gation of arson fires will hopefully deter the commission of the crime and
increase safety through fire prevention.
Fire Inspector Myre is a graduate of the University of Minnesota and has
completed most of the course work toward an Associates Degree in Fire Pro -.
tection. He has successfully completed numerous professional schools and
seminars and has taught fire prevention classes at the State's Fire School.
He resides in Edina, is married, and has one child. Fire Inspector Myre
is active civically and demonstrates a keen interest in community life.
He is an active member of the Minnesota Fire Protection Council and Minnesota
Arson Investigators Association.
Fire Inspector Myre's ability, skills, and dedication are evident to those
he works with and he is highly recommended as a recipient of the Community
Service Award during the "Respect for Law" observance.

The Mayor and Council
City of Edina
I would like to take this means to comment on the very fine
services rendered by the.City of Edina to its citizens. The
snow removal this winter was excellent and I hear.so many
great things about the police and fire departments.
The City has such outstanding recreational facilities for
people of all ages with all the parks and recreational programs.
In this day when taxes seem so high it is nice to feel such
a direct benefit.
I am particularly appreciative of the small park south of tiernon
between Schaeffer and Olinger. Our family lives near this park
and we have all enjoyed the paths for walking, running, biking
and cross country skiing. This park provided us with an opportunity
to get outdoors and exercise all winter long. We were among
many who used it all winter for skiing and jogging. Thanks for
keeping it plowed.
It appears that the bike path is about ready for a new topping of
asphalt. If this is in fact in the plans I would like to make a
suggestion for your consideration. Instead of painting the yellow
line down the middle on the new smrface it would add in an asthetic
and practical way to place a red paving brick in the asphalt down
the middle of the path spaced evzry one meter. (Every meter instead
of every yard as we are supposed to be going metric and it would
take fewer bricks). I think these paving bricks are about 11 thick
which would be about the thickness of the asphalt topping. This
would be much more appealing than the painted street lines, would
provide a measure of distance and become and almost permpnant division
line down the middle of the path.
This would admittedly be fairly expensive, not so much for the brick
(it would take about 3,000) but for placing the brick and finishing
the asphalt properly around them. Notwithstanding the cost, however, .
it would add a bit of class that you who run this city have become
accustomed to adding to most things you do.
I would like to suggest further that you give the park a name as
well as some of the parts in it such as the Carl Hansen Bike Path
or to honor some city official who has made a contribution to Edina.
The expense of this would be no more than the cost of two or three
signs staked out along the path proclaiming the fact.
Whether you have the funds to make these imporvements now is not
as important as the fact that this. City is already doing so much
to make Edina a very fine place in which to live.
Sirs erely,

Re: Issuance of Permits for Public Dances
Dear Council Members and Mr. Rosland:
Edina Ordinance No. 201 requires a permit for
public dances. The Council has asked whether, under that
ordinance, licenses or permits can be granted for a single
dance.
Ordinance No. 201 makes reference to Minnesota
Statutes, Section 624.42 through 624.46, for determination
of the procedures by which permits are to be issued. Minne-
sota Statutes, Section 624.44, provides, in part, that "permits
may be issued for one or more public dances or for a period of
time not exceeding one year . . . Therefore, the Council
does have the power, under the ordinance, and under the
referred -to statute, to issue a permit for a public dance
and for the use of premises as a public dancing place for
"one or more public dances or for a period of time not ex-
ceeding one year."
Very truly yours,

SUBJECT: MANDATORY RETIREMENT POLICY
DATE: May 1, 1979
Last winter an alteration of the City's mandatory retirement was discussed
by the Council who requested referral to Dorsey. At that time John Zwakman
was contacted and he indicated:
a) Municipalities were probably covered under the Federal Act.
b) U. S. Department of Labor rules had not been issued to
implement the law.
c) The State of Minnesota's version of the law that was on the
books conflicted with the Federal and that it would probably
be altered.
Since the City anticipated no retirement problems at that point, Mr. Zwakman
felt it best to put the issue in a holding pattern until Department of Labor
rules were issued and the State law had been altered.
In a brief conversation with Mr. Zwakman yesterday, he indicated that no
rules had been issued and to the best of his knowledge the State law had
not been amended. As no retirement problems are currently anticipated it
is recommended that Edina, like much of the business community, await issuance
by Department of Labor and amendment by the State.

Re: Meeting of Local Government Units
Dear Sir:
A sincere thanks to the 110 cities and counties responding to our flood plain
letter dated February 19, 1979. The City Council, the City Attorney and myself,
were elated by this response which represented 16% of the 660 letters mailed. We
are aware that many of the cities and counties sent copies of their resolutions and
letters to their local legislators. All responses were reproduced and presented in
evidence at a Senate sub - committee hearing held in St. Paul on April 17, 1979.
A bill granting local units of government the option of deleting the.DNR's require-
ment of one foot of freeboard was introducted by Senator Mary Hanson, DFL, and co-
sponsored by Senator Dave Rued, IR. This bill passed unanimusly at both the sub -
committee and full committee level. A companion bill is being introduced in the
House by Representative John Corbid, DFL, and co- sponsored by Representative Myron
Nysether, IR. We are extremely pleased with the bipartisan support we are receiv-
ing. Our Council is firmly convinced that our success in the Legislature is due in
large measure to the letters of support and concern received fran you. Many of the
letters received by our Council related to other issues, specifically the concern
by small units of government over the scenic rivers issue, and confrontation with
state and federal bureaucracies in general. Our recent endeavors indicate that,
while a single unit of municipal government has little impact in dealing with
bureaucracies, a concerted effort by a large number of small units of government can
produce dramatic results.
Our City Council received, numerous requests for a state -wide meeting to discuss mut-
ual problems., We will hold said meeting in conjunction with the 65th annual League
of Cities conference to be held in Bloomington from June 13th through June 15th.
Our,meeting will commence at 7.00 o'clock on the evening of June 12th in the Center
Great Hall at the Radisson -South Hotel, 7800 Normandale Road, Bloomington, Minnesota.
Please advise me if you would be able to attend this meeting or send a representa-
tive in your stead. I would also appreciate your informing me of any particular
issues or problems you desire to be addressed.
Thanking you in advance for your preempt response, I am,
Sin yours,
lton Arneson

MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT: SELF - INSURANCE LEGISLATION
DATE: May 1, 1979
At present the legislation for self- insurance has passed out of committee
in the House but is still sitting in committee in the Senate. At this
point passage of this legislation is not expected and may be held over
to next session.
If the City desires to go to some form of self - insurance in some areas
it has three options if the legislation does not pass. Since the State
does not require insurance in any area except health, the City could:
a) Go on its own either totally or through higher deductibles
in those areas it desires to do so, prior to July 1 when the
bulk of the policies are to be renewed.
b) Await joint formation of a pooling group which will most
probably occur this fall even without legislation since
in the absence of legislation mandatory insurance it.has
the power to self- insure and anything municipalities can
do individially they can do together.
c) A combination of the above two.
At present it would seem best since joint self - insurance appears to be the
best alternativeyto work with that this summer and fall and continue for
the present with the City's.regular insurance policies. This may be an
appropriate time to request Council guidance on the matter.

SUBJECT: PUBLIC OFFICIAL LIABILITY INSURANCE
DATE: May 4, 1979
Following the Council meeting on April 16, 1979, both Forum Insurance and
Midland Insurance were evaluated by the City's insurance consultant, Fred
Gedelman. It is Mr. Gedelman's opinion that Midland is a firm that is as
capable of providing Edina coverage for its public officials liability as
the Forum Insurance Company (having a net surplus several times that of the
Forum).
In a further review of the deletion of the exclusion for attorneys,,
engineers and accountants, it was noted that the exclusion had been deleted
by endorsement in the Forum policy for the policy period 5 -78 and 5 -79.
Upon further discussion with Mr. Gedelman,he indicated that the additional
10% for exclusion elimination was probably not worth the additional.cost.
Based on the advice of Mr. Gedelman to the two issues raised, the public
official liability insurance was placed with Midland Insurance Company
effective May 3, 1979.

SUBJECT: Dance License
DATE: March 28, 1979
I recommend that the application for a dance license for the Saints Valley
View Roller Skate Center, 7225 Washington Ave. S., Edina, MN, be denied.
This recommendation is based on observations made by the Edina Police Dept.
of the establishment's operation under a license granted during 1978.
Specifically, on July 15, 1978, the establishment was observed conducting
dances without the presence of an officer of the law. This requirement is
not of local origin or concern but is clearly stated in State Statute 624.50.
Additionally, the patrons of this dance appeared to include persons under
the age of 16 years not in the company of their parents. This is addressed
in State Statute 624.49 and is prohibited.
These observations were made and could have resulted in proceedings for
revocation of the license or citing of the establishment for violations of
law. This did not occur. However, if the establishment continues in the
same manner as observed, this may happen based on citizen complaint or
concern.
During the 1978 dance license application process, the establishment sub-
mitted a letter dated June 6, 1978. This letter stated, "These dances
would comply with the State law . " Subsequent observation reveals
that the establishment did not comply.
If a license to conduct a public dance is granted to the Saints Valley View
Roller Skate Center, its owners and managers should be advised of the obser-
vations made and the law pertaining to the operation.

RE: Cable Television
7 May 1979
The Southwest Suburban Cable Commission is an active joint powers group
representing the communities in the southwest suburban area: Edina,
Eden Prairie, Hopkins, Minnetonka, Bloomington, St. Louis Park, and Rich-
field. Bloomington and St. Louis Park already have cable franchises.
As you know, the remaining communities are now faced with obtaining fran-
chises from cable companies. The attached recommendations are the ways we
of the SWSCC would like to proceed. We hope you, and the city councils of
the other cities in the SWSCC, will approve this direction.
RECOMMENDATION A: Allows Edina, Eden Prairie, Hopkins, Minnetonka; and
Richfield (Bloomington and St. Louis Park excluded),
to proceed, in accordance with the joint powers agreement already in ef-
fect, with cable television franchising. State law requires that three
documents be written: 1) the needs assessment (Edina has completed this.);
2) the invitation for applications; and, 3) the franchise ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION B: Allows Edina, Eden Prairie, Hopkins, Minnetonka, Rich-
field, and St. Louis Park (Bloomington excluded), to
continue through the franchising process up to the point of actually
adopting the franchise ordinance. The city councils will adopt the fran-
chise ordinances. A new joint powers group made up of the councilmen al-
ready serving on the SWSCC and one alternate councilman from each com-
munity will carry out these tasks.... Again, the city councils will perform
the final adoption of the franchise ordinances.
Thank you for your consideration of these recommendations. ,

portable retirement benefits for those mobile career public servants who often
lose or experience a significant reduction in their retirement benefits due to their
career mobility. Second, because of the tax deferral, it provides supplemental
benefits to other employees.
Both of these functions serve the public employer by assisting in the attraction
and retention of the skilled personnel necessary to conduct the increasingly
complex public business.
The Retirement Corporation is a nonprofit, tax - exempt agency of the state
and local governments it serves. RC fees are the lowest of any similar national
plan.
On the following pages is a summary of the ICMA Retirement Corporation
deferred compensation plan.

What Is Deferred Compensation?
A deferred compensation plan
represents a contractual obligation
on the part of the participating
employer to pay to an employee a
specific amount of money, and
earnings thereon, at a later date.
The employee enrollment form
(Joinder Agreement) is an
agreement between the employer
and the employee, whereby a
portion of the employee's compen-
sation is deposited into an account
within the ICMA Retirement Cor-
poration's trust fund. RC invests all
funds received by this account and
reinvests the earnings from the
investment. The employee for whom
the account is held may begin to
collect benefits at retirement or
disability, or the employee's bene-
ficiaries may collect in the event of
death.
.There are no restrictions as to the
minimum amount of compensation '
which may be deposited into the ;-
RC trust fund.
r
Current Income Taxes Are t
Deferred
As the deferred compensation is f
not currently paid to the employee,

but is retained as an employer asset,
it is not subject to current income
tax. During retirement, the employee
will pay income taxes only on the
amounts received in any given year.
This deferral of taxes on funds being
set aside provides a greatadvantage
j over other forms of retirement and
personal savings plans available to
1 public employees. (See "How Tax
Deferral Works," Table 2.)
t If the employee receives the
1 benefits as income over a period of
years during retirement, the
employee is likely to be in a lower
tax bracket. Further, due to the
earnings on the extra savings and.
the resulting build -up of the funds
,which the employee would not
otherwise have, the deferred
I compensation approach is likely to
work to the employee's advantage
even if the employee is not in a lower
tax bracket when the benefits are
received.
Social Security Taxes
Unlike income taxes, social
,security taxes are not deferred. For
isocial security purposes the rule is
reversed and taxes are paid during
the year the compensation is earned _
rather than the year it is paid.
Therefore, social security taxes must
be paid up to the maximum taxable
1amount for each employee.
l This procedure works to the
benefit of the employee in two ways.
I First, since social security taxes will
1, have already been paid on the
i deferred compensation, it will be
4 unnecessary to pay such taxes on
i the amounts received during
retirement. Second, payments from
the deferred compensation plan will
not interfere with the employee .
r receiving full social security
j benefits.

RC Eligibility
Any employee of the following
employers may participate in this

t • a local or state government or
agency;
• a special district, commission,
or other governmental
organization established by
local or state law; and
a • a public or public service -
organization related to local
or state government which is
classified as nonprofit and tax-
exempt by the Internal
Revenue Service.

HOW TAX DEFERRAL WORKS
...Over the Short Term
The short term is the impact on the participant's
regular pay check and is illustrated in Table 1
comparing two employees, each earning $20,000
annually. John Doe is a participant in the RC
plan; Mary Smith is saving through a conven-
tional savings plan. These illustrations do not
include savings in state or local income taxes.
In the SHORT RUN John Doe saved the same
amount as Mary Smith BUT
• John paid $20 less in federal taxes each pay
period or $480 less in federal taxes during
the year. Savings on state and local income
taxes will increase this savings.
• John had a net or take -home pay $20 higher
each pay period or $430 higher each year
(not counting regular deductions).

sign the plan documents. It is not
necessary to obtain U.S. Internal
Revenue Service approval since the
employer is not establishing a new
plan but joining a plan previously
approved by the IRS and in use by
numerous local governments and
agencies. Copies of the IRS rulings
on the RC plan are available upon
request.
j RC's Role
Upon adoption of the plan by the '
employer, the Retirement Cor-
poration becomes the trustee of the
funds and an administrative agent
of the employer. The Corporation is
responsible for investments, plan
administration, and for making
benefit payments to employees on ;
behalf of the employer.

What Are the Fees Involved?
The RC plan is the least expensive
'of any similar plan available on a
national basis. There are two fees:
• a 3% administrative fee (one-
Ceiling on Amount of Contributions
The maximum amount that any
RC participant may defer is 25% of
total compensation or, S7, 500 a year,
whicheveris less.(Seecharts, below.)
If you participate in another deferred
compensation plan, or in an annuity
approved under Section 403(b) of
the Internal Revenue Code (common
in educational institutions) the ceiling
on your tax deferral applies to the
total you contribute to all plans. In
other words, you cannot avoid the
ceiling by using more than one playa.
j If You Have An "Employer's Contribution"
Some participants receive an "employer's contribution" of deferred
compensation in addition to their salary. To calculate the maximum amount
You may defer, add the employer's contribution to your salary and find 25% of
that total. That figure represents the total amount that you and your employer
may contribute to our deferred compensation plan.

Another illustration is Betty Clark and Robert
Brown who have both decided they want to set
aside the top $2,000 of their $20,000 annual
income for their retirement. Betty uses RC's
deferred compensation plan. Robert takes the
conventional savings route. Betty will not pay
taxes on the amount she saves but Robert will
have to pay $643.00 in federal income tax on the
top $2,000 of his salary. Because of the taxes, all
Robert will have left of the $2,000 for savings is
$1,357.00. Table 2 compares what happened to
Betty and Robert's savings program over a 20-
nteresteach fyear and continued at their gpresent
salary levels.
In the LONG RUN Betty Clark and Robert
Brown had the same take -home pay BUT
• Betty saved $26,360 more than Robert.
• Betty paid $12,860 less in taxes than Robert.

Catch Up" Provision
In some cases, participants are
Mowed to defer up to $15.000 a
,ear during the last three years before
etirement. This additional deferral
nay only be taken to make up for
iot having used the maximum allow -
ible deferrals in previous years. The
3etirement Corporation will assist
,ou in calculating the additional
amount you will be allowed to defer
luring this "catch up" period.
raking RC With You
When an employee begins
) articipation in the RC plan, a trust
account is opened which has two
dentifying elements: (1) the
amployee's name; and (2) the
amployer's name. When the
employee moves to another public
sector job, the new employer may
begin paying into a RC trustaccount
which also is identified by the '.
employee's name, as well as the
name of the new employer. Upon
retirement, the employee receives
only one payment and deals with
only one organization.
k<
In this way, the Retirement
Corporation, as trustee for all
participating employers, provides
the means for complete portability
of retirement benefits as an
employee transfers from one public
employer to another.

When Are Participants
Eligible for Benefits?
A participant becomes eligible for
benefits upon retirement (age 55 or
later) or in the event of disability. The
participant's beneficiary is eligible for
benefits in the event of the participant's
death. If death occurs during retire-
ment the beneficiary may continue to
receive benefits until the account is
exhausted, or choose a lump sum
payment of all remaining funds.
Amount of Benefit Payments
Pavments are based on the entire
The Retirement Corporation may
also request, for its convenience,
and for that of the employer, that the
ownership of the deferred
compensation funds be transferred
from one employer to anotheras an
employee changes positions. In the
event this occurs, each employer
involved, as well as the employee,
must agree to the transfer.
and employee a report at the end of
each year. Included will be the
balance from the preceding periods,
totals of monies received, charges
made, earnings credited during the
i period, and the balance at the end
of the period. An annual report will
also be mailed each year, as soon
as possible after completion of the
►, corporate audit.
If the employee goes to work for a
non - public employer, the account
remains in trust. Upon returning to
work for a public employer, the
'employee may once again begin
participation in the plan without
penalty. f
t
i
No Loan Privileges Or Claims By
Creditors i
Since the deferred compensation
funds are an asset of the employer,
from which the future benefits will
I be paid to the employee, the
employee may not borrow against
the account nor may the funds be
used as collateral of any kind. For
the same reason, an employee's
creditors may not place a claim
against an employee's account.
RC Reports To Participants '
The Retirement Corporation will
mail to each participating employer
amount of income which has been
deferred during the years of employ-
ment, together with all of the interest
or other accumulations and incre-
ments resulting from investment and
reinvestment. During the period of
retirement, if payments are made
under options for a specified number
of years or for life expectancy, the
undistributed portion continues to be
credited with all of the interest,
accumulations, and increments from
continued investment and reinvest-
ment until the account is entirely
depleted.
Payment Options
Retirement payments may be made
by any one of several options:
• a lump sum payment;
r.
t:
f . .
i�
• monthly, quarterly, semiannual,
or annual payments for a
specified number of years;
• monthly, quarterly, semiannual,
or annual payments for the
period of the employee's life
expectancy (actuarialy deter-
mined); or
• monthly, quarterly, semiannual,
or annual payments for the
employee's lifetime.
During the distribution of the periodic
payments outlined above, the retiree
will continue to accrue earnings on
the unpaid balance of their account.
The retiree may also elect to retain
their RC account and continue to
accrue earnings on their total fund
until such time as they decide to
withdraw.

The Investment Philosophy
The investment philosophy of the
Retirement Corporation reflects its
fundamental purpose: to provide
state and local governments with
a portable and supplemental retire-
ment plan. This purpose requires
an investment objective which
seeks to secure the maximum long
term total investment return, to
include interest and dividend in-
comes, as well as capital appre-
ciation, consistent with reasonable
safety of the funds' principal.
The Investment Agent
The investment agent for the
Retirement Corporation is the
American Security Bank, N.A. of
Washington, D.C. Their responsi-
bilities to the Corporation are
defined and governed by a corpor-
ate trust agreement and the invest-
ment policy jointly established by
the RC Board of Directors and the
Trust and Investment Committee
of the Agent. That committee is
also responsible for the selection
of actual securities. The American
Security Bank, N.A. was selected
as Agent by the Retirement Cor-
poration with the assistance of the
Wyatt Company, a leading national
actuarial and employee benefit
consulting firm.
Monitoring Fund Performance
The Board of Directors also
employs independent firms
specializing in investment evalua-
tion to assist with monitoring the
performance of the investment
agent. Formal reviews are con-
ducted quarterly.
An annual report of the Retire-
ment r Corporation's investment
activities and performance is
published. Copies are distributed
to all participating employers and
employees, and to other interested
individuals upon request.
A SUMMARY OF FUND
INVESTMENT POLOCIEW
The Variable Fund
The Variable Fund is invested in
broadly diversified securities in
such a way as to seek to increase
the value of each dollar in propor-
tion to the rates of inflation, over
the long term. These include equity
securities (common stocks, con-
vertible preferred stocks, converti-
ble corporate notes), commercial
paper and certificates of deposit,
real estate, U.S. Treasury Bills, and
other securities of the U.S. Govern-
ment and its agencies. The securi-
ties purchased with monies
received for the Variable Fund will
not necessarily be equity invest-
ments, but will reflect the current
economic conditions at any given
time. In this way, the Variable Fund
is able to provide.maximum flexi-
bility and response to current
conditions while providing protec-
.tion against adverse fluctuations in
common stock values.
The Fixed Income Fund
The Fixed Income Fund
emphasizes preservation of capital
along with consistency of invest-
ment growth. It is designed to allow
participation in a pool of assets less
volatile than the Variable Fund yet
still afford opportunities for
investment growth. Although the
Fixed Income Fund may underper-
form other types of investments,
risks of loss of capital value may
be considerably less.
The strategy is to invest in short
to intermediate term fixed income
securities yielding a moderate to
high rate of return over a three to
five year period. Investment in inter-
mediate term corporate obligations
and U.S. Government securities is
managed in such a way that assets
will not experience excessive
fluctuations in market value or
suffer significant loss of principal.
The Government Securities
Fund
This Fund is available only to
those jurisdictions which are pro-
hibited by law from the investment
of all or a portion of their assets in
commercial securities. All
securities purchased through this
Fund will be those of the United
States Government, its agencies,
or others that are guaranteed by
the United States Government.
*For complete policy statements see the RC 1977 Annual Report.
f UMVESTMENT
PTI®NS
Restrictions
Most employees may request that
the deferred compensation funds
deposited with the Retirement Corpora-
tion be invested in whole or part
through the Variable or the Fixed
Income Fund. The Joinder Agreement
(employee enrollment form) provides
a section wherein any whole per-
centage may be requested for either
Fund.
Some jurisdictions cannot allow
complete freedom to employees in
regard to requests for an investment
choice. In certain cases, there are
limitations on the percentage of assets
invested in common stocks. Therefore,
some employees have a ceiling on the
percentage amount permitted to be
invested through the Variable Fund.
A few local governments may not
invest in securities other than those
secured by the United States Govern-
ment. The deferred compensation
funds of employees in these jurisdic-
tions must, therefore, be invested
through the Government Securities
Fund.
Jurisdictions with specific legal
restrictions as to the types of securities
in which they may invest their assets
should so advise their employees. Also,
each employee enrollment form should
be reviewed for proper investment
allocation prior to employer approval.
Choosing Funds
The opportunity to request alloca-
tion of deferred compensation between
the Variable and Fixed Income Funds
is a means by which the employee is
able to affect the long term growth of
retirement benefits in relation to
personal preferences and needs.
Neither Fund guarantees a specific
return, although both will probably yield
higher long term gains than most
individual investors could acquire for
themselves. This, coupled with the tax
savings, represents a substantial benefit
to the public employee.
The Retirement Corporation does
not offer recommendations as to the
appropriate allocation of deferred
compensation between the two Funds.
Likewise, the employer has no
responsibility to advise its employees
on this allocation. If an employer offers
guidelines or suggestions, they are not
to be construed, in any way, as actions
for which the employerassumes liability
or ethical responsibility.
d4/ RC DIFFE RS
AGM OTHER PLANS
The structure, philosophy, and
purposes of the RC plan result in its
differing significantly from other
deferred compensation plans. Some
of the ways this benefits participants
are described below.
First, the ICMA Retirement Cor-
poration is not an insurance
company nor is it a trust company.
Legally, it is an agency of the govern-
ments it serves. It has no claim to
any of the monies beyond its quoted
fees. Its Board of Directors has no
discretion as to how much of the
annual earnings are passed on to
participants. They do not vote
dividends. All earnings must be
credited back to each employee
account.
Second, the ICMA Retirement
Corporation is a nonprofit, tax -
exempt organization. An advantage
of this status is lower fees resulting
in a larger percentage of the total
earnings being returned to the
participants.
Third, the ICMA Retirement
Corporation does not employ local
or regional representatives. The
advantage of much lower overhead .
SPONSORING ORGANIZATIONS
and the elimination of commissions
or fees to agents further increases
the total return to participants.
Fourth, the ICMA Retirement
Corporation was organized and is
operated by individuals with long
service in the public sector. It is
aware of the unique conditions of
both the public employer and
employee. The Corporation serves
a public purpose by assisting
governments to solve a critical
employment problem. Its personnel
know how to accomplish this
purpose in the easiest and least
expensive way possible.
The International City Management Association developed the plan and backed it with grants and
loans totalling over $100,000. The Ford Foundation also provided a grant of $125,000 to help get it
moving. Most of the major public interest groups related to local government are sponsors. These

To: Year III Clerks
From: Florence Hallberg
Subject: Franking Privileges for Voter Registration and Absentee Ballot
Mailings
May I take this opportunity to.do a little lobbying?
Of growing concern to my City has been the ever increasing cost of mail-.
ing -voter registrations and absentee ballots. Last year 3/4 of our appli-
cations for absentee ballot requests were processed by mail which meant
that we paid 280, to send out each set of ballots and ballot envelopes, 280,
for the return envelopes if a registration card was enclosed, and Special
Delivery postage for ballots that were requested too late to be processed
thru the usual:.mail delivery. In addition, there was also 150, postage to
mail out tte.application for Ballots.
We found that we were very often paying 710, for voters who were not reg-
istered and 580, for registered voters at a minimum, not including the mail-
ing of Applications for Ballots or Special Delivery charges. In 1978 we
processed 1,516 absentee ballots which amounted to a pretty sizable amount
of money, with registration mailings being over and above that amount.
Whether you are from a large or small municipality, I am sure that you are
interested in saving whatever money you can. Could this group of Year III
Clerks instigate a campaign - at both the State and Federal.level - to try
to get franking privileges for all.voter registration and absentee ballot
mailings? Let's talk about it and see if we can make some progress during
the week.
It would make a neat "thank you" to our cities for making it possible for
us to attend this school.

In the matter of the Proposed PROPOSED RULES GOVERNING
Adoption of Rules of the State
Ethical Practices Board Governing CAMPAIGN FINANCING
Campaign Financing
(9MCAR 1.0001- 1.0043)
NOTICE OF HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a public hearing pursuant to Minn. Stat.
Section 15.0412 (1978) and Minn. Laws l0A as amended in 1978 in the above entitled
matter will be held in Room 22, State Office Building, St. Paul, MN 55155, on
Thursday, May 24, 1979, beginning at 9:30 a.m., and continuing until all persons
have had an opportunity to be heard.
Statutory authority to promulgate the proposed rules is vested in the
Ethical Practices Board by Minn. Stat. 10A.02 subd. 13.
The Ethical Practices Board proposes to amend permanent rules EPB 1 -39 and
supersede temporary rules 9MCAR 1.0001- 1.0043 concerning campaign financing to
reflect statutory changes in 1976, 1977, and 1978, as well as to include clarifi-
cations from advisory opinions. In 1978, an amendment to Chapter 10A.02 Subd. 12
limited the effectiveness of advisory opinions. Chapter 463 Section 108 of
Minnesota Session Laws (1978) granted authority to the Board to issue temporary
rules until permanent rules are adopted pursuant to Minn. Stat. Ch. 15 or until
October 1, 1979, whichever occurs first.
These rules are proposed to generally accomplish the following:
• To eliminate specific statutory language contained in the
permanent rules prohibited by Minn. Stat. 15.0412, subd. 1;
• To define statutory words and phrases to clarify the meaning
of the statute;
• To clarify provisions concerning loans, allocations of approved
expenditures among several candidates, reallocation of public
finance funds refused by a candidate, return of anonymous contri-
butions, certification, contribution and expenditure limits, and
registration requirements of candidates who seek more than one
office, time of filing tax credit agreements, media advertise-
ments, joint checks, mileage, constituent services, and sample
ballots prepared by a candidate;
° To declare a judicial candidate a statewide candidate for purposes
of disclosure;
° To provide for a procedure in lieu of registration for federally
-2-
AP
registered Minnesota political committees and political funds
and non - Minnesota domiciled political committees and political
funds;
° To exempt corporations from registering as a political committee
or political fund that facilitate the making of voluntary contri-
butions by employees to political committees or political funds;
° To clarify the reporting of a fundraising event;
° To provide procedures for candidates running jointly for governor
and lieutenant governor, assessment of late filing fees, recording
contributions, reporting and disclosing earmarked contributions and
unpaid bills, transfer of responsibilities between treasurers, termi-
nation of political committees and political funds, and filing complaints;
° To establish the period for which a tax credit may be taken;
° To require the filing of separate agreements for a tax credit
subsidy and public financing; and
° To disallow use of tax credit receipts for special elections.
Free copies of the proposed rules are available and can be obtained from
the Ethical Practices Board, 41 State Office Building, St. Paul, Minnesota 55155,

4Y TRIBUTE TO SCOUTS ?'vG
"I shall pass through this world but once. If I can do any kindness or good
turn as I go, let me do it now for I may not pass this way again." These words
are among Stan Eddy Jr.'s collection of beautiful thoughts. Although lie doesn't
remember who said those words, he has tried throughout his life to put into
practice their meaning. Whether it's playing Santa Claus to children at Christ-
mas or speaking to a group of boy scouts, Eddy's philosophy of showing kindness
to others is repeated over and over. IIe recently received the 50 -year cold
for service to scoutin(,; and here is his tribute to scouting:
In my 50 years of scouting, I've had many happy moments but four or five stand
out in my memory. The first was when I became a Tenderfoot Scout in Boy Scout
Troop "28 at St. Mark Episcopal Church. le not only learned the scout oath and
laws but we .learned to live them. Another was when I won the Dan Beard Fire By
Friction Championship for five years and a record time of 8 -3/5 seconds in 1931,
a time that has never been beaten. Another, when I received the Eagle Scout
badge, scouting's highest boy award. I think it was then that I resolved to
serve Scouting the rest of my life. Another was receiving the Silver '.Beaver
Award, scouting's highest adult award, and this was important because it was
given by my peers and could not be earned. Last but not least were the wonder-
ful 16 vear.s I served as Scout (taster for a great bunch of boys. I think these
were my most rewarding years in Scouting.
Three people had a great part in my scouting career in my first few years. The
first was my Scoutmaster, Lawrence Anderson, who taught me discipline. "ty
second, Scoutmaster F. Mariner Clark, who taught me a love of nature and camping.
Third was Chief Scout Executive, George li_vckoff, who gave me the enthusiasm of
Scouting. These men with the great nrogram of Scouting„ based on the oath and
laws, camping nrogram and always that p neat motto "Do a good turn daily" gave me
• love of Scouting I've never lost. If we could all live the scout rules, what
• better world this would be.
My 50 years in Scouting have gone by all too fast. I salute a wonderful program.
We need Scouti_ng's ideals so very much in this world today for the Scouts of
todav are the citizens and leaders of tomorrow,

SUBJECT: "Fundamentalistics of Criminal Investigation" put on by MBCA
I attended the above class put on by BCA the week of April 9 to April 13,
1979. It was a 40 hour class involving the fundamentals in basic crime
scene investigations.
The class instructors were John Paquette and Mike Collins of BCA. They
brought in other qualified instructors to assist them in their presentations.
The sessions were held at the Minnesota Department of Transportation center
in Arden Hills.
The class was very informative and of special help in my role as a supervisor.
I feel that it is imperative that we send at least all of our Sergeants to
this session. It would assist them immensely in their roles as street super-
visors in managing crime scene investigations. The class also points out
the various support units available to our department and what they can do
for us.
Attached is a class schedule giving a day to day breakdown of items covered.

A REPORT OF 1977 - 1978
COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES
In the Areas of:
Community Nursing
Health Education
Disease Control & Prevention
Home Health
DESCRIPTIONS, EVALUATION, AND ANALYSIS
PREPARED BY:
THE DIVISION OF PUBLIC HEALTH
CITY OF BLOOMINGTON
I. Introduction
Community health services were established as a function of the
City of Bloomington in 1960. In 1976, the State of Minnesota passed the
Community Health Services Act, providing subsidies to counties and cities
meeting certain eligibility requirements. Bloomington and the two cities
just north of it, Edina and Richfield, all met the requirements. For
the past two years, through a joint powers agreement, Edina and Richfield
have purchased the personal community health services provided to
Bloomington residents. This report relates specifically to these two
years and is prepared to expand community awareness of the content and
scope of the activities provided. Services are provided in response to
identified health needs based on continual evaluation and analysis of
outputs and outcomes.
The overall goal of the Divison of Health is in keeping with that of
the World Health Organization, "To facilitate a state of health which
includes physical, mental, and social well being, and not merely the
absence of disease and infirmity, by the application of the art and
science of public health through organized community effort.
.To achieve this goal, programs are provided in the broad areas
designated within the Community Health Services Act: community nursing,
home health, disease prevention and control, and health education.
Residents receive personal health services on an individual one -to -one
-basis or as part of a group.

technology students, nutrition, and health education majors).
Information is disseminated frequently through the information and
referral system provided by the office staff.
Activities are coordinated and integrated with the Community Chaplain
Service, Lions, Jaycees, churches, schools, and city boards.
Support groups are established to provide an opportunity to study a
specific disease.or problem in common to the group or provide a series of
.forums for group therapy.

III. The Analysis and Evaluation
The data presented in the tables and figures are taken from the
Public Health Nursing Activities System. This information is derived
from dailies submitted by all licensed and registered nursing personnel.
The system is a standardized recording method used by every public health
nursing service in the State of Minnesota. The City of Bloomington has
programmed its computer to produce its own monthly and annual reports.
At the end of the year the tape is furnished to the State and a uniform
annual report is produced of all public health nursing activities in the
State.
Service indexes in Part I of this report will not always precisely
match the nursing statistics since they include services provided by
staff other than nurses. The nursing staff, however, comprises more
than 75 percent of the total staff delivering direct services. The
statistical data coded by nurses and keypunched into the computer is the
most comprehensive and valid information available. In almost all cases,
patients receiving other services such as physical therapy or home health
aide services, would have a nurse involved in the care and the nursing
services would be recorded into the system.
Dailies are submitted on a weekly basis. They are reviewed for
apparent errors and used as a basis for keeping supervisory personnel
apprised of workload levels. After each batch of dailies is keypunched,
an error edit sheet is produced so that.all errors can be corrected, such
as a coding showing'a pediatrics entry with an age of 40. The annual
13
report. for 1977, showed a report based on 15,134 records with 0 errors
or 100 percent useable. The 1978, annual report showed 24,426 records
with 0 errors or 100 percent useable.
Four individual reports are produced each month, one for-each city
and a grand total all cities. Entries are made showing the age, sex,
location, payment method, direct service activity (i.e., individual
visit, clinic, school, class), and program area. When appropriate, the
coding will include record closing and referrals to and from the service.
Every entry requires a nursing practice code which identifies the
primary nursing skill used in the service. Several times a year for
one week periods a comprehensive time study coding is used to identify
all time both direct and indirect. Over the past two years the time
studies have consistently shown the ratio of direct nursing service time
to indirect nursing time to be 60 percent direct contact and 40 percent
indirect. Direct time is only the time spent with the patient /client
delivering an identifiable service. Indirect time consists of all
record keeping, telephone, consulting, staff meetings, supervising
other staff, and staff development (in- service).

services provided to the corresponding percent of that group of the pop-
ulation it was necessary to translate the data in Tables 3 and 4 into
cummulative frequency graphs (Figures 3, 4, and 5) and then extract

TABLE 5
PERCENT PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE VISITS
BY AGE GROUP AND PERCENT TOTAL POPULATION BY AGE GROUP
In all cities, preschoolers receive a larger percent of services than
they represent of the population. This is a reflection of the focus of
the Health Division on primary prevention...emphasis on the promotion of
healthy beginnings among children. Primary underutilization is in the
45 -64 age group where females no longer need family planning related
services and both males and females seek less preventative services.
Edina shows a primary utilization of services by individuals 65 and older
at a rate almost four times greater than the corresponding population
percentage.
The median age of the service population and general population is
compared by city in Table 6. In Bloomington and Edina, services are being
provided more frequently to individuals over the median age, whereas in
Richfield, a younger population is being served. The younger distribution
in Richfield is very likely a result of the higher utilization of health
promotion than disease and disability services.

The year 1978 produced changes in the number of individuals in
specific age categories receiving personal health services. In Figure
7, the increase in infant care reflects increased emphasis and utilization
of services offered to newborns. The decrease in 5 -19 year olds is a
result of a smaller venereal disease patient population. The increase
in 20 -44 year olds corresponds to the increase in parents of newborns who
are receiving a higher level of prenatal and early parenting support.
There is also an increase in family planning patients.

The variation between pediatrics and early and periodic screening in
those under 1 and those 1 -4 is largely due to the early and periodic screen-
ing program mandated for preschool children. The family planning program
dominates the 5 -19 year old services. It is evident, by the large "other
category for individuals aged 45 -64 and 65 and older, that the older pop-
ulation receives services more equally spread throughout a variety of need
areas.
It is interesting to note how closely the primary activities among
those 65 and older mesh with the leading causes of death in Table 7.
The prevention of these problems was addressed through hypertension iden-
tification and control programs and specific cancer screenings.

The Health Division continues to receive its referrals primarily
through patients and their friends and relatives (Figure 9), indicating
community awareness and. credibility. This is also related to the current
and growing mood of personal responsibility for health care. The 1978
Hospital Services, "Public. Expectations Survey" of 3,000 Minnesotans
indicates their response to "who is responsible for their health ?" as
80% self, 7% government, 6% doctor, 3% employer, and 1% hospital.

FIGURE 9

The "other" category represents hospitals, physicians, social service,
etc. Referrals which would relate primarily to the disease and disability
patients which are only 31 percent of those referred for personal health
services.
In Table 8, visits are identified by payment method. It is signi-
ficant to note that for 38 percent or 6,486, of direct service recipients,
there was no charge to the individual. These are health promotion visits,
oftentimes in the home setting. For clinic or health center promotion
visits, there is frequently a sliding scale fee and this is represented
primarily by the 46 percent or 7,818, part -pay visits. The full fee
visits are related -to disease or disability. Of these, Medicare is the
primary source of reimbursement. It is interesting to note that
although Bloomington comprises 68 percent of the direct service visits,
they are only 38 percent of the Medicare vists. This means that this
group is disproportionately composed of Edina,and Richfield residents.
26
Another disparity is found in the proportion of chargeable /not paid.visits.
Edina received 14 percent of direct personal services but represents
40 percent of the chargeable /not paid visits. The Table also identifies
the minimal amount of full pay, insurance, veterans administration, and
particularly welfare reimbursement.

IV. Summary
Over the past 19 years, the Bloomington Division of Public Health
has grown out of a two -nurse community service. Programs have been
added, modified, or deleted in response to identified community needs
and available resources.
This two year evaluation captures the current activities of the Health
Division and the population it serves. An awareness exists of segments
of the population (particularly the young adult males), and significant
health problems (particularly deaths from accidents - -the leading cause of
death for individuals under 34), which could benefit from specific -
program efforts. Decisions related to shifting emphasis and increased
efforts are dependent on the awareness, desire, and ability of the communi-
ty to provide the necessary resources. The Division of Public Health is
also aware of the value of service coordination. Particularly as the
hospital system becomes involved in establishing community health programs,
it is important to focus on mutual planning and provision of related
services.
It is expected that the trend towards an emphasis on public health
services will continue as community awareness increases of both the cost
and benefit of a focus on health promotion compared to that of a focus on
treatment of disease and disability in areas which can be significantly
affected by prevention.

Dear Mayor,
4 -19 -79
Big dogs are being allowed to run loose in Bredesen Park (Mud Lake)
and I feel this situation should be stopped before it gets worse.
Granted the owner is nearby, but the leash is not being used and
the dog droppings are not being picked up. What's worse, these
big dogs are frightening joggers and bikers.
I have a 7- year -old boy who enjoys biking around this park but
if big dogs are going to come at him with the owner meekly saying
"down Fido ", it doesn't make sense. I had a large dog myself for
8 years. and I always kept my dog on a leash. This is no great
imposition. I also always picked up my dog's droppings.
This beautiful park is the main reason we purchased a home in
that area. But I feel it is getting.to the stage where it
doesn't make sense to use Bredesen park if the dogs are
going to take over.
There are all kinds of signs for physical fitness. I strongly
urge some signs warning dog owners to keep their beasts on a
leash and also to pick up their droppings. And I strongly .
urge the council to pass a law requiring owners to pick up
the droppings and further to outlaw dogs in Bredesen Park.
Dogs aren't allowed at Chowen Park and there are no joggers
or bikers to bother in that area.
Thanks for your consideration of this matter.
Regards,

SUBJECT: Dance License
DATE: March 28, 1979
I recommend that the application for a dance license for the Saints Valley
View Roller Skate Center, 7225 Washington Ave. S.', Edina, MN, be denied.
This recommendation is based on observations made by the Edina Police Dept.
of the establishment's operation under a license granted during 1978.
Specifically, on July 15, 1978, the establishment was observed conducting
dances without the presence of an officer of the law. This requirement is
not of local origin or concern but is clearly stated in State Statute 624.50.
Additionally, the patrons of this dance appeared to include persons under
the age of 16 years not in the company of their parents. This is addressed
in State Statute 624.49 and is prohibited.
These observations were made and could have resulted in proceedings for
revocation of the license or citing of the establishment for violations of
law. This did not occur. However, if the establishment continues in the
same manner as observed, this may happen based on citizen complaint or
concern.
During the 1978 dance license application process, the establishment sub -
mitted a letter dated June 6, 1978. This letter stated, "These dances
would comply with the State law Subsequent observation reveals
that the establishment did not comply.
If a license to conduct a public dance is granted to the Saints Valley View
Roller Skate Center, its owners and managers should be advised of the obser-
vations made and the law pertaining to the operation.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Ot&rk Bernhardson, Administrative Assistant
SUBJECT: PUBLIC OFFICIAL LIABILITY INSURANCE
DATE: May 4, 1979
Following the Council meeting on April 16, 1979, both Forum Insurance and
Midland Insurance were evaluated by the City's insurance consultant, Fred
Gedelman. It is Mr. Gedelman's opinion that Midland is a firm that is as
capable of providing Edina coverage for its public officials liability as
the Forum Insurance Company (having a net surplus several times that of the
Forum).
In a further review of the deletion of the exclusion for attorneys, .
engineers and accountants, it was noted that the exclusion had been deleted
by endorsement in the Forum policy for the policy period 5 -78 and 5 -79.
Upon further discussion with Mr. Gedelman,he indicated that the additional
10% for exclusion elimination was probably not worth the additional cost.
Based on the advice of Mr. Gedelman to the two issues raised, the public
official liability insurance was placed with Midland Insurance Company
effective May 3, 1979.
