The Edina Heritage Preservation Board has recommended that the City designate
the Baird House a Heritage Preservation District. Mr. Wiltz, the owner, has
indicated that he does not oppose this designation.
The history and significance of the structure is contained in the attached
nomination to the National Register of Historic Places and the HPB Statement
of Significance.
The HPD zoning will identify the site on maps and official documents, require
adequate maintenance of the property, and require a permit from the Heritage
Preservation Board for any physical modification to the property that will
alter its appearance or historical significance.
The Edina Historical Society and the Minnesota Historical Society will be
consulted prior to a City Council hearing on the matter.

DESCRIBE THE PRESENT AND ORIGINAL (IF KNOWN) PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
The George W. Baird House is situated on a large lot on the north side of
West 50th Street in Edina. it is a two story.brick residence done in the
Queen Anne style of architecture. Features typical of the Queen Anne style
appear throughout the residence including a square corner tower with pyramidal
roof:, projecting attic gables, patterned shingles, carved wood panels, windows
with small square lights and tall sculptured brick chimneys.
The foundation of the house is of native Platteville limestone with a water
table course of Mankato stone directly above. Mankato stone also appears as .a
belt - course over the paired first story windows of the tower and over the
landing windows on the east elevation. Window sills throughout the house are
also of Mankato stone as well as the lintel inscribed "1886" over the second
story tower window.
The brickwork throughout the house is of a red pressed brick laid with thin
buttered joints.
Very few changes have been made to the exterior of the house. The multi - colored
slate roof on the tower has been replaced with black asphalt shingles. An
attic dormer on the front of the house has been removed. The scrollwork on the
front porch has similarly been removed, however, the porch roof with carved
wood gable remains intact. A wood frame summer kitchen at the rear of the
house was replaced in 1969 with a one -story family room addition which is
sympathetic with the details and materials of the original house.
Ancillary structures including a barn and windmill have been removed.
On the interior very few changes have been made and much of the interior wood-
work is intact. Original hardware and light fixtures also remain.
The woodwork in the front entryway and dining room wainscot is of brown ash.
The stairway to the second floor is of white oak. The woodwork in the parlor
is of cherry. Light fixtures in the dining room as well as the upstairs hall
are original to the house. All radiators are also original except for the
kitchen and upstairs rear bathroom. The house was one of the earliest to have
steam heat.
The kitchen has been remodelled several times, most recently in 1963.
The house was acquired by its present owner in 1960 and has been carefully
preserved.

SPECIFIC DATES 1886 BUILDER /ARCHITECT Charles S. Sedgwick
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
The George W. Baird House is a fine example of a Queen Anne style residence
and the only structure of its kind in Edina. Designed by the noted Minneapolis
architect, Charles S. Sedgwick (1856- 1922), the original plans for the house
are in the possession of the present owner.
Sedgwick established an office Minneapolis in 1884 and designed a large number
of buildings, the majority of which were residences. His buildings were
characterized by complex plans and agitated outlines. "They make use of many
materials, are strongly chromatic, profusely ornamented and incorporate details
from a great variety of stylistic sources" Sedgwick's residential designs
tended -to be pretentious with little regard to their size or cost. The Baird
House represents one of the earliest houses he designed in this area.
George W. Baird was an important figure in the early days of Edina. A native
of Pennsylvania, he came to Minnesota in 1857 and purchased a farm of 120 acres
in what was the rural township of Richfield (now Edina). In the spring of 1860
he imported the first Spanish Merino sheep brought into the state. He sold the
.first fleece of fine wool in Minneapolis receiving 95 cents per pound. Later
he concentrated his efforts in raising fine Cotswold and Lincoln grades of sheep
receiving first prizes at the Minneapolis Exposition of 1880.
Both George W. Baird and his wife, Sarah (Gates) Baird were active in the Grange.
They were charter members of the Minnehaha Grange No. 398 formed in Edina in
1873. Both served at various times as Masters of this Grange (George W. Baird,
1877 -79, 1900 -04, 1908, Sarah G. Baird 1894 -97). Sarah G. Baird also served
as State Master of the Minnesota Grange for 18 years. '
In 1888, George W. Baird was one of the members of a committee of five who were
responsible for the formation of the Village of Edina when it seceded from
Richfield.

A HISTORY OF THE BAIRD HOUSE
George Baird built this house in 1886 for his bride, Sarah Blaislell, a
Minneapolis school teacher. The Baird farm extended from 44th Street'to
50th, and from France to Wooddale. The 160 acres pastured Holstein cattle,
sheep and hackney horses.. According to his great- niece, Mrs. Miriam Burr
Agather, Baird was the first farmer to bring sheep into Minnesota. He also
owned the Richfield Mill.
In its 86 ,years, the house ra.s had only three owners -- the Bairds, the
Henry. W. Darr family, and the Dickenson C. Wiltz family. After Mr. Baird.'s
death in the early 1900's, Mrs. Baird spent her winters living at the
Curtis Hotel. She lived in the house only during the summer months. After
her death in 1924, the house stood vacant for several years.
Henry W. Darr purchnied the house in 1928. Thorpe Brothers bought the
farm acreage to develop ghat became the Country Club area. The area which
is now Edina Court then hell the cattle and sheep barns, storage facilities,
etc. These buildings were torn down in the mid 1101s. Edina Court was
developed in 1940. The Darr's sold the house to the Wiltz's in lg60.
Very few changes were made in the house during the time the Darr's owned
it. They did add some plumbing and steam heat. Some of the floors were
also restored. Henry Darr's grandson, Robert Darr, remembers the down-
stairs study was used as the Baird's bedroom. They had no children, and
the upstairs bedrooms were for the most part used for storage. One up-
stairs, bedroom, the front east room, was used for a guest room.
This handsome Victorian house was built with fascinating detail, and
quality workmanship characterizes the architecture inside and out.
The following information will be of interest to you as you tour the
house:
As you enter the vestibule, you will see the original parquet flooring.
An umbrella stand in the vestibule was originally in the house. Woodwork
is brown ash; stairway is white oak. Note the hardware en the doors, etc.
The grandfather clock is from the old Colonial Inn.
The parquet flooring in the hall and formal parlor was laid in 1966.
Woodwork in the parlor is cherry. The doors, however, are cherry on one
side and ash on the other. All radiators in the house are original,
except for the kitchen and upstairs back bathroom. The house was one of
the earliest to use steam heat.
To the living room has been aAded a bookcase which was made from leaves
of the original dining room table.

The dining roam light fixture is the original. A closet in this room
was originally a carriage entrance. Wainscotting is brown ash.
The study (former bedroom) has built -in drawers in the walls and closet.
The adjacent bathroom has its original fixtures, except for a copper tub
which was removed.
The upstairs hall also has its prig. nal light fixture. Guests used e
bell in the hallway to summon servants. Note transoms in the bedrooms.
The front upstairs bathroom was added in 1967. This was previously a
closet and dressing room. The_ back bathroom was originally a cedar storage
C�oset.
The kitchen has been remodeled several times, most recently in 1963.
Originally a staples pantry covered the east end of the kitchen as a
separate room. The floor is the original hardwood maple floor. The
hood is vented inter the chimney, built only to rent the cook- stove.
The door into the family room originally opened into a shed built into
the back of the house. The family room was added in 1969. To the west
of the room is a patio built from bricks taken off the former shed.
In the yard is the original well site; however, all stone work to be seen
has been added.
A pond has been added to the front walk. The railing around the pond
is from the old Metropolitan Building. In the.nottheast garden are seats
from Durwoody House.

New York, on May 9, 1856. He was educated in the
public schools at hio and
Oberlin,, � , graduated from

high school at Poughkeepsie, . New York. On moving to
Binghampton, New York, in 1872, Sedgwick entered the
employment of the architect, Isaac G. Perry, who was
later to head the commission for the construction of
the Capitol at Albany. Sedgwick remained with Perry
for eleven years, rising from apprentice to foreman

left the employment of Perry at the end of 1883,
Perry testified to his complete competence in every
branch of design and building; construction. ' Sedgwi.ck
established a Minneapolis office in 1884 and continued
to practice until near the time of his death, which
occurred on Larch 12, 1922.
Sedgwick designed buildings, which exist in
large numbers, correspond more closely in their de-
sign to popular conceptions of late nineteenth
century building than do those of any other Minnea-
polis architect. His buildings are almost invariably
complex in.plan and agitated in outline. They wake
use of many materials, are strongly chromatic,
profusely ornamented, and incorporate detail from a
great variety of stylistic sources. There is no doubt
that Sedgvick buildings were much admired; his prac-
tice was large. The majority of Sedgwick's commis-
sions viere for residences, which tend to be preten-
tious without regard to their size . or cost. In addi-
tion to the 11inneapolis buildings noted in this study,
SedgwicIl. was the architect of the ,Andrea Presbyterian
and Part: Avenue Congregational Churches, the first
three stories of the Dayton Company store at Nicollet
Avenue and Seventh Street, and of the old Y.Y. G.A.
buildins which stood at LaSalle Avenue and Tenth Street.

plan books on small homes, churches, and store
buildings. According to the Isinneapolis Journal
for April 9, 1904, the sixth edition of a Sedgwick -.

EDINA CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS
Members Present: Chairman Foster Dunwiddie, Frank Thorpe, Paul Muche, Betty Paugh,
Maryanne Herman, Gordon Stuart.
Staff Present: Harold Sand
I. Approval of the Minutes
Mr. Sand indicated the minutes for August 24, 1,978 were not
available. Mr. Muche moved the minutes be continued until October 12, 1978. Mrs.
Herman seconded the motion. All voted aye; the motion carried.
II. Baird House. 4400 West 50th Street
Mr. Dunwiddie said that this item was last considered by the
Heritage Preservation Board on June 8, 1978; the matter was continued until the
September meeting at the request of the present owner, Mr. Dick Wiltz.
Mr. Sand said that Mr. Wiltz was notified of this meeting and
that Mr. Wiltz indicated he may or may not attend. Mr. Wiltz has completed the
purchase of his new home in Minnetonka. However, he had not sold the Baird House.
.Mr. Sand said that Mr. Wiltz indicated to him that he would not
oppose the designation of the Baird House as a Heritage Preservation District which
is consistent with his statements at the June meeting.
Mr. Stuart inquired if the property was listed on the National
Register at this time. Mr. Dunwiddie -said that it has been nominated and the nom-
ination was filed with the State Historic Preservation Officer. However, the
State Review Board has not reviewed the nomination because they have been concen-
trating on other areas of the state.
Mr. Thorpe inquired if Mr. Wiltz had any proposal for an adaptive
re -use of the property. Mr. Sand said that he has not received any more inquiries.
The Board generally discussed the - merits -of an. adaptive re -use of the property.
They decided they would not formally address the issue without a concrete proposal.
However, the concept will tend to enable the owner to provide rehabilitation and
maintenance of the property.
Mr. Stuart moved that the Board find
sistent with paragraphs (b) and (c) of the Criteria for
Significance, and that the Board adopt the statement of
findings for numbers 1, 2, 3.b, 4.b and c, and 5.b, and
the property is designated a Heritage Preservation Dist

Heritage Preservation District.
Gordon Hughes explained that this house, located on the north
side of 50th Street, had been considered on several occasions by the Heritage
Preservation Board for designation in the special zoning district for that purpose.
He introduced Mr. Foster Dunwiddie, chairman of that board, to give a presentation
and recommendation on the Baird House.
Chairman Lewis asked if the district bought the house or if it
still remained a private home. Foster Dunwiddie replied it still would remain a
private home.
Feeling that the-Baird House has both historical and architectural
significance, Foster Dunwiddie outlined a brief history o1" George and Sara Baird
and their home. Noting in June the house was nominated to the National Register
of Historic Places, Mr. Dunwiddie shared with the Commission the Heritage Preserva-
tion Board's rational for their recommendation:
1. The physical nature of the building is important to
the visual character of the City as well as the history
of the City.
2. The physical significane of the house could be dimin-
ished, damaged or destroyed by improper modification
or maintenance.
•3. .The house is in good physical condition with need for
only minor repairs such as painting.
4. The house is also identified with historic personages
important -to local history.

5. The house embodies distinguishing characteristics
of,an architectural type specimen.
Dave Runyan asked if the rezoning to Heritage Preservation
District also put restrictions on what could be done to the inside of the house.
Foster Dunwiddie clarified that in this case the zoning would affect only the
exterior modifications.
Dave Runyan moved the Commission approve rezoning of the
Baird House to R -1 and HPD. Len Fernelius seconded this motion. All voted aye;
the motion carried.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
STAFF REPORT
November 29, 1978
S -78 -18 Joys Edina Manor. Generally located at 5236 Richwood Drive.
Lot 11, Block 2, Richwood Hills Second Addition.
REFER TO: attached graphic, subdivision dedication report
The subject property is a 33,850 square foot single family lot located on
Richwood Drive. This lot is located within Richmond Hills Second Addition
which was platted in 1951. This subdivision contains 38 single family lots.
Most of these lots are 10,000 to 15,000 square feet in area with the exception
of the subject property and the lot adjoining the subject property which are
30;000+ square feet in area.
The proponent is requesting a two lot subdivision of the subject property.
Lot 1 of the subdivision would measure 15,100 square feet and would be
retained for the existing dwelling on the lot. Lot 2 would measure 18,750
square feet and would be a new buildable lot. The subject property is
- -characterized by steep slopes, i.e. 18 percent, and is wooded. The develop-
ment of the new lot would probably necessitate extensive grading and tree
removal.
Attached is a preliminary subdivision plan dated 1950 for Richmond Hills
Second Addition which apparently was used for marketing purposes. This plan
illustrates a pond to be constructed on a portion of the subject property
and adjoining lots. Although this pond was never constructed, this area
does serve as a drainage area for the entire subdivision. However, no ease-
ments were granted over this area-and,-,,--to staff's knowledge, no deed restri-
ctions or protective covenants were established to preclude the further
subdivision of the subject property.
Recommendation:
The proposed subdivision conforms with the requirements of the zoning
ordinance. Required setbacks are maintained for the -existing dwelling on
the subject property. Furthermore, the lot sizes proposed by the subdivision
are similar in size to the other lots in the neighborhood.
.Staff is concerned that, due to the topography of the site, the development
of Lot 2 could adversely affect the storm water storage and drainage area of
the neighborhood. The proponent has -shown 20 foot wide drainage easements
along the side and rear boundaries of Lot 2'. Based upon field surveys, staff
--would recommend that a 45 foot wide easement- should be granted along the rear
property line to ensure proper water storage and drainage and to prevent
storm water problems on adjoining lots. Staff notes, however, that this
Community Development Staff Report page 2
S -78 -18
November 29, 1978
easement area could be reconfigured in order to provide reasonable building
site on Lot 2 while still accomplishing the aforementioned objectives. Such
an easement area would have to be maintained at its present elevation..
Therefore, staff recommends approval of the subdivision with the following
conditions:
1. Subdivision dedication in accordance with the attached report.
2. Delineation of a larger drainage easement on the rear line of Lot 2.

RE: County Project No. 7682,7683, and 7864_
Dear Mr. Klossner:
The above projects are traffic signal projects on York.Avenue (CSAH 31)
in which the City 'participates through Municipal State Aid Funds.
The projects, as we understand, are currently in the bidding process.
The City share of cost participation comes from our Municipal State Aid
Fund which requires plan approval prior to award of bids.' We request
that the award of bids be held until we receive notification of approval
from the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
We agreed with your Traffic Department to allow bidding process to occur
so that funds allocated from 1978 County budget could be committed for
the projects-.
We would expect to receive State approval for the City share of the
Construction Funds within the twenty eight calendar days that County
specification states that a bid will be awarded, if it.is to be awarded.
Also, County Project 7684 at West 76th Street and York Avenue interfaces
with the York Avenue paving job, which Mr. Hughes and I discussed with
Mr. Wold and you earlier. We would expect that no signal construction
would take place that would require re- construction during the paving
job in the Summer of 1979.
Thank you for your consideration and we will contact Mr. Hansen the
moment the plan approval comes from Minnesota Department of Transportation.
If you have any questions, please call 927 -8861.

RE: LIFE SAFETY REMODELING:
Dear Mr. Hite:
As you know, the City of Edina Fire and Building Departments have
been making Code Compliance Inspections on the various buildings
within the school system. Our main concern has been directed toward
the life safety features of the buildings to ensure safe exiting of
the occupants under fire or emergency conditions. Our inspections
are based on the Uniform Building Code (Minnesota State Building
Code) and enforcement would he Tinder City of Edina Ordinance #471.
The areas of the schools involving life safety remodeling would be
corridors, H.V.A.C. systems and unenclosed stairways over two stories
In height.
Our position is that the life safety remodeling in the various schools
must be done. Ile do however, realize that it will take some time to
accomplish this. The tentative schedule, proposed by nr. Lieber, in
his letter to re dated February 22, 197Q. is a reasonable plan and ac-
ceptable to everyone concerned.
(1)
The Fire -!nd Ruildinn Departments would like to express our thanks
to the School district for the assistance they have provided us in
r.akinn our inspections.
If we can be of any further service to you. pleese feel free to call

MEMORANDUM

From: Kenneth E. Rosland, City Manager
Subject: Salaries 1979 - Public Safety
Date: December 15, 1978
Attached are the salaries for the Police and Fire staffs, together with those
selected other public safety personnel.
For Police staff the proposal is a pay plan partially devised by the officers
which will be raising their base salaries but eliminates their educational
incentive and this rearrangement is done within the bottom line dollars of an
8% increase for 1979. For new personnel in those positions the same rules apply
as for the general plan.
For the Fire staff their top base salary is raised significantly but no longer
do they receive educational incentive, longevity, callback or holiday pay,
leaving a bottom line dollar figure within the City'sr U guideline,for this
next year. The proposal has them equal to police lieutenants by 1980.
Dispatchers, backup dispatchers and,animal control personnel are grouped into
two public safety general catagories which are outlined in the appendix.
Transfer sheets for these adjustments will be presented at the December.28
meeting. - --

MEMORANDUM 4
To: Mayor and Council
From: Kenneth E. Rosland, City _Manager
Subject: Fire Union - Proposed Contract
Date: December 19, 1978
Over the past several months, I have been negotiating a contract with the.Fire
Union for 1979 and 1980 with the following general terms representing a contract
agreeable to the Union.
Wages - The Union is agreeable to an 8% increase in .1979 and a_ZZ..increase in
1980. On the surface this proposal exceeds the President's guidelines by 1%
for 1980 (although these were the figures I.was discussing with them prior to
announcement of the guidelines). The Union feels that their demands still fall
within.the guidelines, in that the guidelines allow._,that they be exceeded for
gains in productivity and to keep abreast of wage increases for similar jobs
in an area.
To justify an increase under the productivity exception, the Union cites
increased runs for service, particularly medicals; more public service work
such as CPR training; more hours of'-classroom training, and.physical. fitness
requirements. In my reading of the guidelines, however, the exception f_ or
productivity increase requires demonstrable productivity increases as the
result of discontinuance of restrictive work rules and practices. The items
`cited by the Union do not appear to meet those conditions
As for the "tandem" increase provision, they are expecting both St. Louis Park
and Richfield to equal or.exceed the 8% and 7 %. (Both are in arbitration for
1979.) .If their interpretation or anticipation of the guidelines is not correct,.
they are willing to take the gamble that the tax rebate plan, which is to be
the teeth of the guidelines, will not pass. In addition to base wages, there
is also an increase in supplemental pay for the paramedics, inspectors and
drivers that fall within the overall guidelines.
Insurance - On insurance the recommendation is for an additional $5.00 for
dependent coverage to $75 /month for 1979 and 1/2 the increase for 1980.
Injury on Duty - Incease the number of days from 60 to 90 calendar days.
Funeral Leave - Clarification of the amount of.sick leave to be allowed under
selected circumstances.
Acting Officer - This represents establishment of a temporary position to fill
in when an assistant fire chief is gone for more than 8 hours from the station.
Memorandum to Mayor and Council -2- December 19, 1978
Duration - The Union has requested that one contract continue until signing
of a new agreement. This is currently ,being discussed with Mr. Zwakman as.
to its legal implication.
I would recommend approval of the contract at this time. The full contract
will be reviewed by John Zwakman prior to signing.
Should you have further questions, please contact either Mark Bernhardson or
me.

Edina, Minnesota 55424
Dear Mr. Bahneman:
On behalf of the Edina Public Schools, its'Board and administration,
I would like to thank you and others in your department for providing
the necessary information that will assist us in meeting life safety
standards in this district now and in the future.
It will be our intent to continue our life safety remodeling in the
Edina Public School System primarily at our elementary schools. As
soon as we receive the specific life safety group suggestions from
your department we will begin working with our architects. Bids for
the initial work for our elementary schools will be developed yet this
fall with actual construction commencing June, 1979. Our tentative
schedule, barring unforeseen circumstances, is as follows:
1. Concord 1979
2. Creek Valley 1980
3. Countryside 1981
4. Cornelia 1982
For the next several years our life safety work will be concentrated
at the elementary level. It will, therefore, be necessary to dis-
continue our life safety work at the Edina -East Upper Division. When
we again commence life safety work at our secondary level, we would
anticipate using Edina -East Lower Division for our Junior High School
rather than Edina -East Upper Division, given its smaller size`, efficiency
of space, and special purpose areas. If this be the case, we would com-
plete the Lower Division life safety,needs prior to it being. reoccupied.
Edina -East Upper Division's easily accessible areas such as art, home
economics, and indistrial arts would then be used by community and
student groups alike.. In view of, the fact that it will not be used for
continuous classroom instruction, it is our hope that no further life
safety.work would need to be done -at the Edina -East Upper Division
building than that which has been completed.to date.
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
February 22, 1978
Mr. Robert M. Bahneman
Page #2
In the event that Edina -East Lower Division is being leased, on
completion of our elementary life safety work, we would pursue the
contemplated program of life safety pending in that building which
would both get the job done-and not provide too much inconvenience to
our leasees.
I am in hopes, Bob, that you will find this letter and our intent
to complete our life safety work satisfactory, and allow us to pro-
ceed on the plan identified herein.
I look forward to your response.

PLAN DEVELOPMENT BY COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES
ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Edina Health Advisory Committee has been seeking information about
and attempting to evaluate existing programs in the community. Presently .
they are addressing the area of home health care as provided by the contract .
with Bloomington Public Health Nursing Services. From this information,

for this service that will help in the delivery of home health care for the
community.
Other areas that have been suggested for further study are: counseling
of teenagers; child abuse; transportation for therapy and medical care; and .
development of informational material on services available. It.is antici
-
dev
ed that there will be additional activities in these areas and that the
results from these activities will be incorporated in developing the final.
1979 Edina Community Health Services Plan.

EDINA PROGRAMS
TITLE OF PROGRAM: FOOD SERVICE FACILITY SANITATION (ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH)
Problems Addressed: Diminished health may result from consuming food con-
taminated with chemicals or microorganisms. Contamination of foods may
occur from unsanitary conditions.`or improper handling during food manufacture,
processing, delivery, or service. Some of the more common underlying
causes of food -borne disease outbreaks are inadequate refrigeration, poor
personal hygiene, failure to hold readily perishable foods at legal refri-
geration temperatures, failure to hold hot foods at legal-holding tempera-
tures and inadequate cooking.
Goals
To achieve, through enforcement and education, compliance with the various
laws, ordinances and policies which will insure all citizens of Edina 'a
healthful and aesthetically pleasing food consumption experience.
Objectives
1. By systematic inspection and education, insure that all food while being
transported, stored, prepared,- displayed, - served or sold to the .public
is protected from all forms of contamination or adulteration con
sistent with the Edina Food Code to insure safe consumption.and minimize
the possibility of food -borne disease episodes.
2. To insure, through the plan review process, that each building or parts
thereof, that are intended for food production or storage, is constructed
to comply with the provisions of the Edina Food Code to.insure that
the structure and equipment is designed to provide a durable, easily,
cleanable.and aesthetically appealing environment in which to store.,
prepare, display or serve.food to the consuming public..
Methods: Specific methods used to achieve the objectives are:
0 Objective 1: A minimum of.two (2) comprehensive.,sanitary.surveys
will be conducted on each food service facility annually. Along
with.the sanitary.surveys, necessary follow -up surveys will be
conducted on a pre - determined, mutually agreeable timetable.
• Objective 2: All new or remodeled food establishments will require
that detailed plans and specifications be submitted and approved prior
to issuance of a building permit. The plans will be. systematically.
reviewed detailing all..areas of the structure or equipment not in
conformance with the Edina Food Code. Follow -up field inspections
will be conducted, as.required, to determine if construction is pro-
ceeding according to the approved plans.
Evaluation
• 1. -Routine checks will be performed to determine -if the twice annual
sanitation surveys are being conducted on a timely basis. The
b -3
performance of the inspection process will be ev -,lusted by certi-
fied inspectors from the State Department of Health. The
certified inspectors will evaluate-the interpretation and appli-
cation of the food code during periodic field visits. This
evaluation will also be carried through the administrative
aspects of the inspection and enforcement process.
6 2. The evaluation of the plan review process will primarily be
judged by field evaluation and'-review`of all correspondence with-
in the process to determine uniformity of interpretation and
enforcement.
TITLE OF PROGRAM: COMMUNITY SANITATION (ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH)
Problems Addressed: Diminished health may result from exposure to. hazards
or conditions in the physical environment of the community. Community sani-
tation covers a variety of environmental health problems which provide a link
in the transmission of disease in man. Included are problems related to
rodent, insect, and weed control, improper refuse storage, animal control
and a variety of public health nuisances. Many sanitation problems are
inter - related so that a practical approach to control involves looking at
the total community sanitation picture rather than each component separately.
Goal
Either by citizen complaint or by observation in the community, identify and
abate all nuisance conditions consistent with State laws and local ordi-
nances.
Objective
1. Prevent the accumulation of refuse and weeds, destroy rodent and vermin
harborages and control domesticated animals that constitute a nuisance.
Methods: Specific methods used to achieve the objectives are:
0 In response to. complaints, investigate = all community sanitation
nuisances and issue orders to correct situations which are hazardous.
Complete follow -up inspections. to determine compliance with
written orders.
Evaluation
0 The.Community Sanitation program will -be evaluated'by viewing the
effectiveness of-the abatement process.
TITLE OF PROGRAM: HOUSING MAINTENANCE (ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH)
Problems Addressed: Diminished..health. may result from.conditions if ill-
ness associated with substandard' housing: Although th e "total impact of''
b -9
substandard housing on health cannot be fully determined, many researchers
believe that the irritations and frustrations that occur in some residen-
tial environments are leading or contributing factors of mental illness.
Respiratory infections, such as colds, bronchitis, and influenza, are re-
lated to inadequate heating or ventilation and inadequate and crowded
sleeping arrangements and food handling facilities. Other potential pro-
blems include carbon monoxide poisoning due to faulty home heating devices,
rodent and insect infestation, accidents due to crowding, poor electrical
connections, poor lighting and structural problems.
Goal
Minimize the public health hazards associated with substandard housing.
Objective
Prevent irritants or impairments that may result from substandard or over-
crowded housing.
Method: 1he specific method used to achieve the objective is:
• In response to complaints or during periodic inspections, determine
the conformity of housing with minimum housing standards. Issue
orders to correct unsafe or substandard conditions and perform
follow -up inspection to insure compliance with written orders.
F.valnatinn
• It is difficult to measure the outca

crease in the general welfare within
of hazardous or unhealthy conditions
of the outcome, because the specific

ne of a housing program, but
codes there should be an in-
the community. The abatement

PROGRAM TITL: ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION CONTROL (ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH)
Problems Addressed: Diminished health may result from improperly maintained
recreational areas such as swimming pools. If not properly maintained,
accidental injury or contamination may result for persons using the recrea-
tional facility. Also, polluted water or unwanted noise may cause diminished
health. Water is used for a variety of activities and pollution of the
water may effect wells, stormwater discharge and recreational areas. The
effects of noise on the health of the population may be either of two types;
(1) they are consciously perceived effects or (2) insidious effects. Con-
sciously perceived effects are those recognized by the recipient or person.
They usually have a subjectively irritating or nuisance character, but
they are nevertheless important functionally, producing such effects as
interference with the thought process, communication disruption, performance
impairment, sleep disturbance and general mental stress. Excessive noise
can also result in permanent hearing loss.
b -10
Goals
To minimize the health effects attributable to water and noise pollution.
Objectives
1. Prevent accidental injury or disease resulting from use.of swimming
pools.
2. Eliminate the entrance of pollutants into surface or ground water.
I. Reduce the occurrence of unwanted noise in the community.
Methods: Specific methods used to achieve the objectives are:
• Objective 1: Continue the routine inspections of swimming pools
to determine compliance with minimum health and safety standards.
Issue orders to correct any health or safety situation, and if
necessary, close the swimming pool to the public until necessary
corrective measures have been taken. Develop educational aids
to assist swimming pool operators in providing a safe and sanitary
recreational environment for the community.
6 Objective 2: Continue the surveillance of on -site sewage disposal
systems. Wherever feasible, encourage - conversion of on -site
sewage disposal systems to sanitary sewer. Continue routine
sampling and surveillance of the city water supply. Continue
sampling individual well water.supplies as requested by the community.
Continue monitoring surface water.
• Objective 3: In response to complaints, investigate all noise
nuisances and require compliance with accepted noise standards.
Evaluation
•: 1. The effectiveness of the swimming pool inspection program -;will be
evaluated by meeting the monthly inspection schedule and ob-
serving the conformance with minimum public health safety stan-
dards. Emphasis within the program will be re- assessed to
cope with new hazardous situations.
• 2. The evaluation of the water pollution progra.., will be based on
observing the changes in number of on -site sewage disposal
systems, the prevention of contamination within the city.water
supply and the change in :the quality of the surface water.
• 3. The abatement of unwanted noise source will result in the re
duction'of irritation to the complainant. The evaluation of
this program can be assessed by the number of successful
noise abatements or noise reductions.
b -11
PROGRAM TITLE: PUBLIC HEALTH LABORATORY (ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH)
Problems Addressed: Problems addressed by.this program.include food -borne
illness, food quality, water quality (public water supply, lakes, ponds,•
and streams), air .quality and miscellaneous analysis from all areas of
environmental health.

Mr. Dunwiddie indicated he would like to hear item number.:three
on the agenda next-to save Dr. and Mrs. Stallard some time.
IhI. Grimes House.
Dr. and Mrs. Stallard were present and indicated they were the
purchasers of the Grimes House. They anticipate gaining occupancy September =l,
1978. Dr. Stallard presented an outline for the building and requested a permit
from the Board to proceed with the work.
Dr. Stallard explained the following items that they would,like
to- proceed with immediately:
1. Replace the diseased elm trees with maple or ash.
2. Trim overgrown shrubs in front of the house.
3. Restore the outbuilding behind the garage and convert to
a workshop for repair work. This includes truing the
building, insulating, sheetrocking, and painting the
interior and providing electricity.

heating systems.
11. Redecorate the interior preserving all original hardware
and restoring to the late 1800's.
12. Repair all shutters, railings, and trim to prevent further
deterioration.
Dr. Stallard indicated that he would also like to perform the following work at
some -time in the future. However, he was not prepared at this time to.apply for
a permit for this work.
1. Remove all old roofing and replace with sawn Cedar
shingles,
2. Rebuild chimney(s) which have been removed.
3. Remove screened porch on East and restore as shown on
old wood cut.
4. Remove porch on front west in order to restore original
lines of house and construct porch similar to the one to
be built on the West.
5. Attempt to blend the three car garage into the style of
the house.
6. Paint the exterior to original colors.
7. Replace the fence in front as shown on old wood cut.
8. Construct building on old foundation at rear of lot
consistent with original.
Dr. Stallard indicated that he would also like to engage Mr. Dunwiddie for some
consulting work on the restoration. He indicated that some of the items listed
were not actually required to be reviewed by the Board for a permit; however, he
wanted the Board to be aware of the proposed work, and he welcomed their advice
in these matters.
Mr. Sand mentioned that a building permit would be required for
items 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 from the immediate list and possibly numbers 1 through
5 on the future list.

Mr. Dunwiddie said that he applauded the removal of the
aluminum storms and screens and replaced with accurate reproductions of the
original storms. If,,that could not be determined;, a.pattern- matching the,
original windows should.be used.
Mrs. Herman said the proposal sounds very commendable and
suggested that they consider a ginkgo tree as a. replacement because Mr. Grimes
imported the species to the area.
Mr. Dunwiddie said that he would like to look at items 6, 7,
and 12 in more detail with further consultation on the site. It is important
in any restoration to sort out who did what at various stages and then proceed
to avoid back tracking. There was a concern in number 12 that there is an
effort to preserve all the parts that can be and faithfully reproduce the, parts
that can not. The historical society may be interested in'preserving any
surplus parts. Mr. Dunwiddie asked if Dr. Stallard had received the list of
interior elements that were important to preserve, and indicated that these are
not necessarily the only elements of the interior that are original. Dr. Stallard
said that he did receive the list, and they were sensitive to the preservation
of the original elements.
After further discussion Mr. Martinson moved that the Board
approve a permit for items listed.for immediate consideration subject to
further consultation on the site for items 6, -7, and 12. Mr.. Thorpe. seconded
the motion. All voted aye; the motion carried.
Mr. Dunwiddie indicated that they could move to item II on
the agenda.
II. Historic Survey: Progress Report.
Mr. William Scott, AIA of Setter, Leach-and Lindstrom
Architects and Mr. Jeffrey Hess, consulting Historian were present to give an
interim report. Mr. Scott indicated that this report was off schedule because
they were involved in greater depth than expected. They were very excited about
the methodology that they were using and that they were through with the Historic
Aspects at this time. Their next area of investigation will be in the Country
Club. They have met with Charles Skrief-of the Minnesota Historical Society and
discussed the..methology, and-he has.,approved their approach.
Mr. Hess outlined the research approach they have used. They
have developed a research bibleography outlining available resources. They they
isolated all previous survey work including the Bicentennial survey and the 1971
survey by Dudley Parsons using the 1898 map which showed structures. He has
inventoried all the structures identified in newspaper files and in Mr. Dunwiddies
files. He has reviewed all 15,000 assessors files trying to select all pre -1920
structures either from the assessors date or the photos. This provided a huge
master -list. Mr. Scott reviewed the assessors cards and made a stylistic analysis
and they prepared a color coded historic map with. all the structures platted on it.
J. _
Minutes of the August 24, 1978, Special Meeting; Edina Heritage Preservation Board
Page 4
This shows some interesting patterns of all structures that existed in 1920
and their style patterns. He said he then went to the-1898 map of Edina and
drew in the half - section lines, triangulated the distance of the structures from
the section lines, and transposed,them to the current maps. The build'ings.could
be-located and inspected.on site to determine if there were any structures they
missed on the other inventories. The technique proved to be extremely accurate.
Mr. Scott said that some homes that appear to be original may
have been moved in and are deceptive. Mr. Hess said.they then analyzed the
prospective matches. Mr. Martinson indicated he liked the methology and was
impressed that they have gotten to the core of what the early.town of .Edina was
about.
Mr. Scott indicated that they then looked for historic neighbor-
hood districts and clusters that suggest possibilities. There are some bungalows
on.West 44th Street that are very good. .There is also an interesting collection
in the northwest quadrant.
Mr. Hess said one other study they have done is a chronology of
platting through 1950 with the date and the developer. It appears the major
development between 1914 -18 was in the Normandale section by Pamela Park. Mr..
Dunwiddie indicated that they also might check into the pattern of development
of roads.
After further discussion the Board generally agreed that the
consultant's approach and progress were satisfactory. Mr. Sand reviewed the
billing the City has received for the consulting services. The Board generally
agreed that the consultants should be paid and that a portion of the funds
should be retained until the.final report was submitted. No further action
was taken.
IV. Next Regular Meeting Date.
Due to a conflict on meeting dates, the Board generally agreed
to change the September meeting from the 14th to the 19th at 7:30 p.m. in the
City Council Chambers. Mr. Dunwiddie asked the staff to send a. letter to Mr.
Wiltz indicating the change and that the designation of,the Baird House would
be on the agenda.
V. Adjournment.
Mr..Martinson moved that the meeting be adjourned. Mr. Muche
seconded the motion. All voted aye; the motion carried.

Mr. Sand indicated the minutes for August 24, 1978 were not
available. Mr. Muche moved the minutes be continued until October 12, 1978. Mrs.
Herman seconded the motion. All voted aye; the motion carried.
II. Baird House. 4400 West 50th Street
Mr. Dunwiddie.said that this"'item was last,considered by the
Heritage Preservation Board on June 8, 1978; the matter was continued until the
September meeting at the request of the present owner, Mr. Dick Wiltz.
Mr..Sand said that Mr. Wiltz was notified of this meeting and
that.,.Mr. Wiltz indicated he may or may not attend. Mr. Wiltz has completed the
purchase of his'new home in Minnetonka. However, he had not sold the Baird 'House.
Mr. -Sand said that Mr. Wiltz indicated to- -him that he would not
oppose the designation of the Baird House as a Heritage Preservation District which
is consistent with his statements at the June meeting.
Mr. Stuart inquired if the property was listed on the National
Register at this time. Mr. Dunwiddie said :that it has been nominated and the nom-
ination was filed with the State Historic Preservation Officer. However, the
State Review Board has.not reviewed the nomination because they have been concen-
trating on other areas of the state.
Mr. Thorpe inquired if Mr. Wiltz had any proposal for an adaptive
re -use of the property. Mr. Sand said that he has not received anymore inquiries.
The -Board generally discussed the merits of an adaptive ,re -use of the property.
They decided they would not formally address the issue without a concrete proposal-.
However, the concept will tend to enable the owner to provide rehabilitation and
maintenance of the property.
Mr. Stuart moved that the Board find
sistent. with paragraphs. (b) and (c) of the.Criteria for
Significance, and ,,that the Board adopt the statement of
findings for numbers 1, 2, 3.b, 4.b and c, and 5.b, and

C. r.�roject CHarli.c Progress Report
September 1978
In September Project Charlie clot started on the fall program in
in the elementary schools. 25 classes were set up in the 6 schools,
Ted and Judy working at Creek Valley,. Concord and Cornelia, Nancy
and Wayne at Wooddale, Highlands and Countryside. They also do a
weekly class at the Creekside Nursery School. 4 classes are in the
primary grades and.the rest.in intermediate, with several more ready
to be scheduled.
Several meetings with PTA groups and teachers were held. Project
CHarlie,plans were presented at a Principal's Meeting, and work was
done with the Edina School District Health Committee. The team also
attended school staff meetings and a Mother's.Tea and Open House at
Wooddale School, enlisting new volunteers following their program.
The Elementary Team is taking classes at the Washburn Child
Guidance Clinic weekly. - They attended an all -day Adler Institute
Conference on Parent -Child Conflict. To acquaint themselves with more
Chem. Dep. knowledge, Wayne and Judy attended Storefront Orientation
meetings, and 4 afternoon programs at Parkview Treatment Center. A
meeting with the new GEAR team was held - Goals Encourage Academic
Responsibility - a group working one -on -one with children having prob-
lems, working with the Special Education Department. The U.,of Minn.
Pharmacology Department put on a session on elementary drug education
for us. Nancy attended a Child Abuse Seminar, and the entire staff
participated in Dr. Coffey's Management Objectives Seminar.
The Edina Human Relations Commission asked Project CIIarlie to
work with them on the annual Peoplemaking Week, as the elements...of
drug abuse prevention and those of Peoplemaking, bettering family
relationships, are closely related. Accepting the responsibilities
for the program, Chick spent most of her time in September on the
project. Peoplemaking Week is set for the week of November 12 -18.
Programs will be held in the churches and schools during the week,
culminating in a day of workshops on Saturday, the 18th. Sue Bonoff
worked on the program and publicity committees, coordinating activities
with other committees. We have scheduled several Project CHarlie
programs for PTA groups, and the Project CHarlie team will give a
workshop for Peoplemaking on "How To Build Your Child's Self- Esteem ",
on November 18.
The slide show presentation is being updated and will soon be
ready for showing. Sue and Wayne have worked together on this. A
poster project is being held in the school with each child's "Feeling
Good" poster made into a button to be worn during Peoplemaking Week.
We hope to make the community aware of the positive approaches of
prevention.
Chick also attended meetings for suburban project CHarlie groups,
met with the Edina Resource Pool, and set up several programs for
community groups in the coming months. A volunteer meeting produced
some solid ideas, and our pamphlet distribution continues to be a
successful venture.

for development of individual objectives for each staff person.
2. Decisions were made regarding 1979 funding for Storefront/Youth Action by Richfield
Bloomington, Edina and Hennepin County. The following amounts were approved:

The meeting was called to order by Mr. Bernie Greensweig. Minutes
from the August 17 meeting will be approved at next month's meeting.
Bob Anderson presented a summary of the revised Chemical Orientation
Program and answered questions from the Board. Bob has redesigned the
program, which now emphasizes a broader and more integrated approach
with a theory tailored more specifically to adolescents. It is an
innovative model, and is perhaps the only one of its kind in the
country.
Jim Nixon, Chairman of the Director's Committee introduced Nancy
Jorgensen and presented her as a prospective Board Member. Nancy
and her husband have a group home in Richfield for emotionally
disturbed children. They are trained in treatment foster home care,
which is used in lieu of institutionalizing and in de- institutionalzing
children. In their 21 years as foster parents they have had 70
emotionally retarted youth with a 93% success ratio. A notion was
made to elect Ms. Jorgenson to the Board of Directors. The motion
was approved unanimously.

the Edina Public School System will be asked to assume permanent
funding after that date. Much emphasis is being given to promoting
community support of the program.

The Personnel Committee recommended two salary increases:
Linda Berkman, from $7,200. to $7,800. and Steve Lepinski from
$17,800 to $20,000. These increases are retroactive and effective
September 1, 1978. John Hamilton moved approval of the recommended
increases, Sue Bonoff seconded the motion, and it was unanimously
approved.
Mr. Lepinski reported that our requests for funding from the municipalit-
ies are all still in progress. The Edina City Council reviewed our
request for $17,500 this week and it's approval seemed likely.
Mary Andrews.reported that Richfield's.City Council will hold it's
budget meeting Wednesday evening, September 27. The Metropolitan
Council has recommended approval of our request for LEAA funding
of a program for physically or sexually abused adolescents. The
Crime Commission will make a decision on the grant in October.
Reports from Hennepin County indicate good progress on our request for
$45,000. No word has been received yet on Youth Intervention monies.
The 1979 budget has been drawn up on the assumption that CETA funds
will not be available after December 30, 1978. If any monies are
available, we will seek to continue one position.
Steve reported that Dennis Brouillette has been terminated due to
an unsatisfactory level of performance. We will be hiring to fill
that position. Meanwhile, the Property Offender Program is still
funded and cases will be re- assigned.
Our agency has established an informal agreement with the YWCA Contact
Plus program regarding the use of some office space as a base.for their
Bloomington staff person, Chris Peterson. Our program and theirs will
be working more closely.
Our staff sessions with Dr. Coffey are progressing well. Much time
has been spent on prioritizing duties to fit with time management.
Steve suggested that future input from the Board may be needed
regarding agency priorities. Our meetings with Dr. Coffey have helped
to establish a new awareness of the management of growth in the areas
of self and agency, as well as the need for effective time management.
The new financial reports from HAYDP were reviewed with the conclusion
that more clarification is still needed.
Mr. Greensweig suggested that the appointment of the Nominating
Committee for Board members be discussed at the next meeting, as there
is still ample time for that.
Mr. Lepinski presented the 1979 budget to the Board. Following
questions and discussion, Bernie Greensweig asked for approval of the
budget. The budget was approved. A number of ideas were discussed in
connection with funding and community support. It was the concensus of
the Board that another community mailing be done, possible in December,
as an update report -- and -to- encourage some community donations. Meredith
Hart noted that some monies might be possible through the Edina
Federated Women's Club, which could be used to help cover the costs of
such a mailing.

I. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Omission of Mary McDonald as present from meeting of October 10,. 1978. With this
correction the Minutes of the October 10, Park Board were APPROVED by Joan Lonsbury,
SECONDED by Virginia -Shaw.
II. BRAEMAR GOLF COURSE PATRON CARD FEES
Since many Patron Cards for the course are bought as Christmas presents it was
decided to set the fee for them early this year. Mr. Kojetin recommended that the
fee stay the same as last year ($30.00). This would mean that all Patron Card
holders pay $5.00 for a round of golf (18 holes). The regular rate for non - patrons
this year was $6.50. All patrons are city of Edina residents, Mr. Valliere pointed
out. Mr. Rice inquired as to how long it had been since the fee had been raised.
Mr. Valliere stated that it had been 10 years. By not raising the fee we were
showing appreciation to the patrons. Mr. Fischer noted that the greens fees were down
this year over last and wanted to know why. Mr. Valliere stated that this was.due
to the bad weather we had in the Spring of the year. Because of the nice weather
we had in the Fall, however r, he felt that we would come out about even if not
slightly ahead of last year. Mr. Rice inquired as to how many Patron Cards we
sell and how many were sold to women. Mr. Valliere stated that there are approximately
1000 sold totally with around 350 of these sold -to women. He also stated that
aside from the reduced greens fees the main purpose of the Patron Card was to be
able -to make reservations on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Mr. Fischer asked if
all of the patrons were able to make reservations on these mornings. When Mr.
Valliere replied in the negative, Mr. Fischer asked if raising the cost of the
Patron Card would eliminate this problem (people would have to spend more money
to make the reservations). Mr. Valliere again replied "no ". Mr. Warner asked
what benefit we receive from the sale of these cards. Mr. Valliere stated that
the patrons play more golf than non - patrons. Mr. Warner MADE A MOTION that the
Patron Card fees for 1979 remain the same. Mr. Fischer SECONDED. CARRIED.
III. SUGGESTED PRELIMINARY FIVE YEAR PLAN FOR BRAEMAR GOLF COURSE
A few items were brought out for immediate concern. Increase Golf Car fleet
to 40 cars. Mr. Valliere pointed out that they do not have enough cars now (the
present'number of cars,is 28,) and they have to bring other cars in from the outside
to provide all of the patrons with the cars they need. Articles 3, 6 and 8 (see
attached) didn't need to be taken care of immediately, but because the clubhouse
is now open 12 months of the year as apposed to the 9 months it was designed for,
the building is under code due to the heat escaping in the winter - months through
the windows. The addition of a room onto the clubhouse would provide a place for
large meetings and wedding receptions as well as the ladies league luncheons, etc.,
that could be more of a community area and could be rented out year round. Mr.
Valliere stated .that . such an area was originally planned for the golf course:
November 14, 1978
Page 2
Mr. Fischer pointed out that if such a room were to be added it would mean
expanding the menu in the Clubhouse, perhaps improving the grill area and the
selling of,liquor, etc. It was decided, however, that-this did not have to be
settled on at this particular time. The additional lighting system for the
clubhouse would also be used in the winter and needn't be decided at this time.
The purchasing of a new ranger car, triplex.mower, captains chairs for the
Clubhouse, and purchasing of furniture for the ladies room were items that were
going to be taken care of in 1979 along with the purchasing„of golf cars. In a
brief explanation of some of the other items Mr. Valliere stated: expanding
the Par=3 would enable him to pull some-of the leagues with.less "ability off
the big course, as well as improving business on the Par 3; setting up an area
in the driving range where it would be canopied would enable people to continue
to hit balls -and continue to give lessons during inclement weather; putting
a drinking fountain in the driving range would be a convenience to patrons,
all there is there now is a pop machine; the A Frame tractor will have to be
replaced sometime within the next 5 years; the purchasing of a ball dispensing
machine would help to eliminate the pilferring problems that exist at the A Frame;
the maintenance building should be rebuilt since there is not enough room for
the machinery that must be put in there; they are going to start rebuilding the tees,
about two new tees per year. All other items do not need immediate attention.
Mrs. Lonsbury asked about the progress on the U.-S.G.A. Public Links Tournament.
Mr. Kojetin stated that Tom Erickson had looked at the contract and added an
Addendum to it which the Mayor had signed. Now it must be sent back to the
U.S.G.A. for their signature. The Addendum, Mr. Kojetin pointed out, dealt
mostly with the liability clause of the contract. Mr. Warner asked about the
irrigation system. Mr. Kojetin explained to him. that work on the well had been
slow but it was scheduled to go to Council on the 18th of December, construction
would start in January and barring any unforseen- problems, work would be completed
on the well in May. The irrigation system itself is still in design.
Mr. Rice pointed out that there were some personnel changes at Braemar. Mr.
Kojetin pointed out that Harry Cooper had left Braemar Golf Course and Roger Hobson
had resigned. I from the-Arena. Mr. Rice suggested that Mr. Kojetin` -put together
a letter of thanks to Mr. Hobson for the excellent job he.has done for the city
and bring it to the Park Board for them to.sign and send to him.
Mr. Rice noted the presence of Cecelia Smith and inquired about her present status
and about the vehicle for the Seniors which had been discussed at the last meeting.
She'-stated that they had looked into two dealerships,. Ford and Chrysler, and had
received a figure around $8000. or $9000. Mr. Kojetin stated that they would
be getting together to work out a route and 'schedule for the van. He also pointed
out that he had gone to one of the congregate dining sessions at the Senior Center
and found it quite interesting. The problem of getting information to the Seniors
was again demonstrated to him at that time. He pointed out that.one couple with whom
he spoke knew nothing about the program until they had talked with their neighbor.
He again, mentioned some type of newsletter to inform people of the activities
sponsored by the Parks Department. Mr. Wanninger suggested combining forces with the
schools in composing such a newsletter.
IV. ART-CENTER SUGGESTED PRELIMINARY FIVE YEAR PLAN
Mr..Kojetin stated, that there weren't too many items in this plan. 1) Additional
parking space needed. When they have a special event they will have 40 or 50 people
and there is not adequate parking. 2) Dark room needed for photography classes.
3) Equipment neededfor jewelry classes. 4) Xerox or si.meograph machine needed.
5) Some, type of food to sell. 6) Gas Kiln for pottery classes. Mr. Kojetin
pointed out that a gas kiln produces a finer glaze;. 7) Lights.for .the parking,
lot, especially during the summer when the trees shadow the.lot.. Mr..Kojetin
November 14, 1978
Page 3
stated that there are now 240 students enrolled and 2.13 season tickets sold so far.
He pointed out that we may have to look at expansion in the near future.
V. RECREATION REPORT
Mr. Jacobson stated that Adult Volleyball was at an all time high with 30 teams
registered. Adult Basketball we also had 6 or 7 more teams that we could accommodate.
Youth Basketball was up by 50 over last year with 425 -430 registered. Girl's
basketball program is very successful. Girl's hockey had only 55 -60 sign up
(only 12 in each age group). Cross - country and down -hill skiing were just starting
up. Karate classes would be starting up soon. The paddle tennis court is in
operation and the lights are to be installed soon. The lights, when they are installed,
would be put on a time switch so people could just turn them on by a switch and turn
them off when they are done. Mr. Rice inquired as to what Mr. Jacobson attributed
the increase in youth basketball. Mr. Jacobson said he felt as thought most kids
wanted to play more than just hockey.
Mr. Jacobson stated that they use the school facilities for the basketball games
and practices and they might run into trouble if many more schools close, since
church gyms were usually too small to use. Mr. Wanninger suggested that Cahill
School should be available for these.
Mr. Rice asked the question who is running the sports programs. He pointed out an
instance where politics was used as apposed to skill in choosing a boy for a team
in hockey that had been brought to his attention. He stated that this is not
right and must be stopped. All of the board members agreed with him and felt
something should be done about this situation. It was pointed out that John
Keprios was their spokesman for the hockey association and he would speak to the person
responsible, conveying the board's feelings that this type of situation would not
be tolerated in this or any sport. It was pointed out that the coaches for most of
the sports have sons on their team and volunteer their services, therefore, there is
little the board can do but give them a verbal reprimand for their actions. Mr.
Kojetin pointed out.that many of the kids in the programs are of equal ability
and when the choice gets down to the last player and there are 3 people of equal
ability the decision is sometimes arbitrary and difficult. Mr. Courtney pointed
out that he had been on the Baseball Board of Directors for 10 years and most of
the coaches were very conscientious when'it came to picking teams...Mr.. Keprios
stated that the coaches are very closely monitored by the board of directors
of each particular sport and that this particular incident was an error in judgement
by the coach that usually does not happen. As the spokesman for the Parks Department
he would convey their setiments to this coach and the board and get back to them.
In closing, Mr. Kojetin brought up a few points:
1) Mr. Rice inquired about the Morningside School. Mr. Kojetin pointed
out that the Morn ingside School was in the process of being purchased
through the use-6f community development funds, but there had not been any
definite decision made at this time as to what was going to happen to the
school; whether it would be used or demolished.
2) Mr. Kojetin reported on the meeting held with the Lewis Park neighborhood
group which he and Virginia Shaw attended. The neighbors felt that
drawing of the park seemed to satisfy their needs and the only thing
that they they suggested was that they would like to have a jogging path
around the'park and maybe the parking lot area next to the tennis courts
November 14, 1978 Page 4�
could possibly be moved.
3)" Telecare service. In this service we are working with the Police
Department and•the senior citizens building which has been incorporated
with the existing Fairview Southdale Hospital telecare service.
Meeting adjourned at 10:00 p.m.

Gordon Hughes asked the Commission to recall that the rezoning
request was-considered at the May 31, June-28, and August 2, 1978, meetings. On
those occasions, he continued, staff expressed concern regarding the, proposed
plan, especially in regard to extensive grading and.tree ,removal required to
facilitate the plan. Staff recommended several revisions to the,plan in an attempt
j.
Community Development and Planning Commission_
November 29, 1978
Page 2
.to preserve the wooded ridge encircling the site Mr. Hughes further recalled
that on August -,2, 1978, the Commission recommended approval of the revised plan
which incorporated many of the suggestions of the Commission, and on August 21,.
1978, the City Council granted preliminary approval of the proposed development
plan.
Gordon Hughes revealed that following Council approval, a soil
investigation was conducted by the proponent which found that the depression in
the central portion of the site exhibited unstable soil conditions. He said the
soil report, therefore, advised that that portion of the site above the 834 foot
contour line would be more favorable for development. Based upon the soil in-
vestigation, the proponent submitted a revised plan to relocate the townhouse
buildings away from the depression and toward the perimeter of the site. Mr.
Hughes stated that although the buildings continue to maintain the required 35
foot setback, the internal roadway under this plan .would maintain- 'only a five
foot setback in some locations. Staff felt that the revised plan.exhibited many
of the .problems that they objected to on the original plan. The proposed plan,
Mr. Hughes said, would necessitate: extensive grading of the ridge surrounding
the site and would eliminate any natural buffer from 78th Street due to the
internal roadway. Staff was concerned that nearly all of the trees on the site
would have to be removed to facilitate the..proposed development. Therefore,
staff could not recommend approval of the proposed plan because they felt the
proposed plan does not represent the only solution to the development constraints
imposed by the site.
Gordon Hughes introduced the proponent, Jack Barron, to answer
the Commission's questions. Mr. Barron explained that soil borings had revealed
26-feet of peat, and soil experts recommended 50 feet of.pilings in correction
which would run an'approximate cost of $10,000 per unit.
Gordon Johnson asked Mr. Barron to respond to a comment in the
staff report that in the opinion of Mr. Hughes,. the wrong style of unit is being
designed for the property which is dictating the problem rather than the -soil
problem in itself. Mr. Barron responded.there were many factors dictating the
problem. He stated apartment units today would not carry their own weight, nor
would double bungalows. Mr. Barrow felt that single family dwellings, townhouses,
and professional buildings were the main types of dwellings that would carry their
own wei ght. Feeling that only this certain type of townhouse would work, Mr.
Barron - explained that walk -in rather than the walk -up style was the most suitable
use of the site.. He continued that as the realtor, designer, and invester he
refused to build a walk -up unit because he did not feel there was a market for
them.:
Len Fernelius asked-if there was an option to'reduce the
number of units. Mr. Barron answered that it could.be an option but they could
not reduce much farther. Mr. Gordon Johnson added the trees make a nice buffer,
and he did not like the idea of tearing them all out. Mr. Barron replied that
he did not like it either but he intended to replace the.best he. could- every
thing that would be taken out. He noted that many of the trees are dying -of
dutch elm disease anyway.
Community Development and Planning Commission
November 29, 1978
Page 3
Gordon Hughes commented that he was not disagreeing at all with
Mr. Barron's preference for walk =in type units. However, he felt the full intent
of,.the Planned Residential'District section of the ordinance was to design in
accordance.-.with the constraints imposed by the site: the ability to design the
development to correspond.to the�,site's good-features rather than its poorer.,
features. He continued that his main objection was that he felt Mr. Barron was
going about the project backwards by having the specific unit preconceived and
then developing the entire site around that idea. Mr. Richard Seaberg responded
that the Commission was not disagreeing with the economics nor the PRD zoning,
but what they were disagreeing on was wiping out the whole section to build ten
units. Mr. Barron said he wasn't sure what the alternative would be because the
minute any of the peat was touched, it all must be piled which would run into a
big expense and require the..ten units to come out ahead.
Len Fernelius said he felt the plan which had been presented to
the Commission always looked about the same, and he requested the proponents do
some brainstorming and reorient the whole thing and start from scratch. Chairman
Lewis said.he did not feel the Commission should be bound by the economics but
rather discern what was .best for Edina.
Gordon Johnson asked that if the bad soil was roughly at the
834 level, would,that soil support a;road if the units were turned around to be
walk -ups. Jack Barron did not feel the townhouses would be saleable in that
design. Gordon Hughes suggested that the units back into the hill with an inside
roadway, which he felt would be easier to construct on stable soil.
Richard. Seaberg asked if the ten units plus the five units in
the northeast were twice as large as the other units. Mr. Barron answered that
the difference was in the garages. Jack Barron indicated he felt the most
appropriate use for the site was a professional office building but-because-of the
zoning that was not allowable. Len Fernelius asked why he could not build a
professional-office building. Mr. Barron replied that;if the Commission was,
inclined to agree that an office.building was the best use of that portion he
would immediately change his plans to that use which he also pointed out would
not-,'destroy as much of the area asthe townhouses would.
Gordon Hughes stated that from the historical viewpoint'of the
Southwest Edina plan, the original draft plan showed a roadway � system ewhich was
the dividing line between the industrial office type' uses on the east side of the
road and residential on the west. He continued that when the plan was finally
adopted by the Council it was agreed that Cahill and 78th Street would form the
dividing line betweenAndust'rial offices and residential uses. He stated.that he
would hate to see one of the last vacant pieces of property able to get an
industrial use into the residential district. Chairman Lewis added that the
residents.of that area have been assured of the permanency of the Southwest Edina
plan also.
Len Fernelius asked Gordon Hughes for his recommendation to Mr.
Barron. Mr. Hughes replied that from the townhouse standpoint he. felt that the

walk -up type.unit was preferable to the walk -in type- for'this particular site.
He continued that he favored the concept of a road between the units and. the
ponding area with the units backed into the hill to preserve as much of the
buffer area all around as possible. From the -ideal development standpoint, he
felt more of an intense development such as a condominium or apartment building
would work very nicely.
. After some general discussion, Len Fernelius moved the
Commission deny the plans as.presented by Mr. Barron and request that he return
with another plan. James Bentley seconded the motion. All voted aye; the
motion to deny Mr. Barron's request carried.
III. New Business:
S -78 -1 Joys Edina Mano Generally .located at 5236 Richwood
o 11, Block 2, Richmond Hills Second Addi-
tion.
Gordon Hughes informed the Commission that the subject property,
located on the west end of Richwood Drive, consists of a 33;850 square foot single
family lot which is considerably larger than the other lots in the neighborhood,
which are approximately 10,000 to 15,000 square feet in area. He continued a
two lot subdivision is requested for the property with Lot 1 measuring 15,000
square feet that would be retained for the existing dwelling, and Lot 2 measuring
18,750 square feet for a new buildable lot. Gordon Hughes stated the property,
quite steep in nature with slopes of around eighteen percent, is heavily wooded
which would necessitate extensive grading and tree removal in the development.of
the new lot. Mr. Hughes recalled that the 1950.subdivision plan for Richmond.
Hills Second Addition illustrates a pond to be constructed on a portion of the
subject property and adjoining lots.., He continued that although the.pond was
never constructed, the area does serve as a drainage area for the entire sub -
division. He also stated that no easements were ever granted over the area and,
to staff's knowledge, no deed restrictions or protective covenants were established
to preclude the further subdivision of the subject property.
Gordon Hughes reported.,that the..p.roposed.subdivis.ion conforms
with the requirements of the zoning,ordinance, maintains .required setbacks for
the existing dwelling on the subject property, and creates lots similar in size
to the other lots in the neighborhood. Staff voiced concern that, due to the
topography of the site, the development of-Lot 2 could adversely affect the
storm water.storage,.and drainage area of the neighborhood. The proponent indi-
cated a willingness to dedicate 20 foot wide drainage and utility easements
.along the rear and..side property lines. Mr. Hughes stated, however, that -based
upon field surveys staff would have to recommend that a 45 foot wide easement
.should be granted along the.rear property line to ensure proper water storage
and drainage, and to prevent storm water problems on the adjoining lots. Staff
also noted the amount of easements needed would depend to a great degree on the .
type;of dwelling constructed on the lot. Staff recommended approval of the
Community Development and Planning Commission
November 29, 1978
Page 5
subdivision with the following conditions: subdivision dedication be made at
the time-of final plat' in accordance with the attached report, and a larger,.
drainage` easement would have to be delineated on the plat depending upon the
type of dwelling constructed on the lot which would have' to. -be determined by
the time of final plat.
Gordon Hughes introduced Mr. Harold Haas, the property owner,
and Mr.- Robert Schmidt, the contract purchaser for the lot to answer the Com-
mission's questions.
Gordon Johnson asked Gordon Hughes how staff was planning to
channel the water - run- off.,--to Vernon Avenue. Mr. Fran Hoffman, Director of
Public Works and Engineering, stated there is at the - present time a pipe under.:
Vernon Avenue. Mr. Richard Seaberg asked if it consisted of a trough between
the sidewalk and the hill. Mr. Hoffman replied there is an. -18 inch pipeline
which runs underground. Mr. Hughes and Mr. .Hoffman both felt that some
arrangement could probably be worked out to lessen the drainage requirement.
Len Fernelius asked if a drainage pipe were put in if no
easements would be necessary then. Mr. Hoffman clarified that a small bee -hive
basin would-be necessary in the back at a low point for the'water that would
drain down. The overall amount would be much smaller, however, and to a great
extent it depends on the type of home and what kind of filling they do.
Mary McDonald asked if the pipe would be done at the developer's
expense. Mr. Hoffman concurred that it would be. ,Len Fernelius asked if.40
feet would be unacceptable to the builder. Gordon Hughes answered that it
depends upon the style of the house.
Mr. Harold Haas stated that when..he bought the property a
year and a half'ago, it was a gathering place for junk. He felt he -could most
improve the site by splitting the lot off and having a nice looking home built
on it which would conform with the area. He said he has had many meetings with
Fran Hoffman to talk over the water drainage problem, and the house which Mr;,.
Schmidt planned to build would not require much fill. Len Fernelius asked if
the proponents had any disagreement' with the easements wherever they are
necessary for the drainage. Mr. .Haas replied they would give '.whatever : the City
thought they,had to have.
Mr. Robert Schmidt said he had been looking for a unique type
of lot to build a contemporary home built into the landscape rather. than having.
a yard. He continued that the lot would not have a yard, but.-he intended to
build the house into.the side of this bowl- shaped property with decks for a yard.
In regards to the easement area for the water, he stated his intention was to
hook the pipes together so there would be no ponding area in the back. Mr.
Schmidt felt his proposed home would be an asset to the area.
Mr. Dyer J. Powell.of.5224 Richwood Drive voiced his concern
,about the 'water drainage of the 'area with this development. The Engineering
Community Development and Planning Commission
November 29, 1978
Page 6
Department indicated to Mr. Powellthat the pipe drainage would be, adequate to
serve the area. However, he--was wondering if he would have legal recourse to
the City if there was a heavy rain and the pipe could not accommodate all the
run -off and his home was flooded. Chairman Lewis answered Mr. Powell that he
would have to depend on the Engineering Department if they say it is satisfactory.
Mr. Powell said he had no other objections to the home being built.
Helen.McClelland asked Mr. Schmidt if he planned to exit from
his home onto Richwood Drive. Mr. Schmidt replied they did plan to exit onto
Richwood Drive. He also stated he felt the 18 inch pipe should hold most of
the water otherwise his home would be flooded.
Mr. Fran Hoffman clarified that even if an 18 inch pipe is
installed a bee -hive catch basin.would still be.necessary, but it would be able
to handle the run-off without':-affecting Mr. Powell.
Mr. Jim Bentley recalled that this item -had come up before the
Environmental Planning Board a number of years ago, but several neighbors had
complained about the fact that the skating pond in the winter time would be
eliminated. Several neighbors spoke up and said they had no opposition to the
building of a home now.
Richard Seaberg moved the Commission approve the subdivision
conditioned upon the subdivision dedication attached to the staff .report . and that
an,agreement is reached between the City and the property owner on the drainage
easement problem. Len Fernelius seconded the motion. All voted aye; the motion
carried.

MEMORANDUM�
TO: The Honorable Members of the City Council
of the City of Edina
Kenneth E. Rosland, City Manager
Craig Swanson, Chief of Police
FROM: Thomas S. Erickson
DATE: November 30, 1978
RE: Regulation of Bingo, and the Use of Paddlewheels,
Tipboards, and Apparatus for Raffles
The City Council has asked whether or not it is
necessary for the City to adopt an ordinance regulating bingo
and the use of paddlewheels, tipboards, and apparatus for
raffles [the latter three being hereinafter called "gambling
devices "].
.:.At present, the City of Edina has no ordinances
licensing or regulating bingo or the use of gambling devices.
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter.349, does establish
regulations for bingo and also for use of gambling devices.
The statute further provides that a local unit of government
may adopt.regulations prohibiting or further regulating the
conduct of bingo and use of gambling devices.
The statute relating to bingo further states that if
bingo-is not prohibited by.ordinance, then it 'is permitted,
subject to the statutory regulations, and the municipality,
at a minimum, shall establish a licensing procedure.
There are no similar provisions for the regulation
of the use of gambling devices. However, it might well be that
the same result would apply, i.e., if the use of gambling
devices is not prohibited, they would be allowed., subject
to state-regulation,and the municipality,.at a minimum, must
establish a licensing procedure.
I am advised by Craig Swanson that we do have some
bingo operations in the city and that on at least one occa-
sion an organization used a paddlewheel within the city.
In none of the known cases was a license. issued or a fee
collected.
It.is, therefore, the recommendation of Craig Swanson
and the writer that the Council, at a• minimum, act, by ordinance,
to (i).prohibit either.or both of bingo and the,use of gambling
devices, and (ii) that the Council, by ordinance, establish a
.,system for licensing that which is not prohibited.
In addition to licensing, the.City can also establish,
by ordinance, regulations-that are more restrictive than those
established by the statute. For your information, the bingo
and gambling device regulations established by.the statute are
set out in the copy of the statutes.attached.
Therefore, as stated, the only.options of the City
are:
-2-
•
1. To prohibit bingo and /or the u-se of gambling
devices.
2. To the extent not prohibited, to establish
licensing procedures.
3. To the extent desired by the City Council, to
expand upon or further restrict bingo occasions and the use
of gambling devices.
Again, we recommend that 1 and 2,at least, be done.

' Bingb is the only form of organized gambling
legally allowed in Minnesota. As a form of gambling,
bingo has always been regarded warily, tolerated
because it was thought to involve only small
amounts of money and because the proceeds sup-
posedly went to charitable projects. However, police
investigations have recently turned up evidence
that bingo involves very large sums of money in-
deed, and that quite a bit of that money may be
going into private pockets or into organized crime.
In response to these problems, the legislature has
repealed the old bingo law, and enacted a signifi-
cantly more restrictive provision, Laws 1976,
Chapter 261, codified as M.S. Ch. 349, effective
August 1, 1976.
Organizations Eligible to Sponsor Bingo
Generally,. bingo may only be sponsored by fra-
ternities, religious, veterans or other nonprofit
organizations which have been in existence at least
three years, have at least 30 active members, and
which have procured bingo licenses from their local
governing bodies. Bingo sponsored by anyone else
Is a lottery and gambling, and thus illegal. However,
there are some exceptions to this general rule. In
the following situations, bingo is exempt from
some of the requirements of Ch. 349:
1. In connection with a county fa if conducted
by a county agricultural society.
2. At the state fair conducted by the state agri-
cultural society.
3. In connection with a civic celebration recog -.
nized by an official action of the local gov-
erning body.
4. When conducted fewer than five times in a
year by any particular organization which is
otherwise eligible for a license.
Exactly which regulations are eased for the
above situations is unclear because the law is ambi-
guous on this point. The most reasonable inter-
pretation is that the following requirements need
not be met by the above bingo sponsors:
1. That the sponsoring organization has been in
existence for three years.
2. That the sponsoring organization has at least
30 active members.
3. That the sponsoring organization be licensed
by the local government.
4. The limits on the number of bingo occasions
per week and the length of any one bingo
occasion.
5. All of the regulations pertaining to bingo on
leased premises contained in M.S. 349.17,
Subd. 3.
Regulation of the Conduct of Bingo Games
For the purpose of the regulation of the game,
the law creates and defines a concept called a
"bingo occasion," which is "a single gathering or
session at which a series of one or more successive
bingo games is played" (M.S. 349.12, Subd. 4). No
bingo occasion may last for more than four consec-
utive hours. No organization may conduct more
than 104 bingo occasions in a year or two bingo
occasions per week, unless the local governing
body gives specific approval. Further, any entity
(other than an organization which itself is eligible
to sponsor bingo) leasing space to two or more
sponsoring organizations for the purpose of bingo
occasions may not allow more than four bingo oc-
casions to be conducted on any one premises in
any week. However, there is no similar restriction
on the number of bingo occasions per week in pre-
mises which are leased from an organization which
is itself eligible to sponsor bingo.
There appears to be a conflict between the new
bingo law and M.S. 38.01, which gives the county
agricultural society ` jurisdiction'and control of the
ground upon which its fairs are held ... during
such fair, so far as may be necessary for such pur-
poses." The Attorney General has interpreted this
provision to mean that cities may not require that
auto racing (A.G. Op. 59 -A -27, August 28, 1950)
or public dances (A.G. Op. 772 -C-4, December 21,
1951) be licensed when they are held on the fair-
grounds during the fair. Thus, a serious question
arises as to whether cities may lawfully require the
licensing of bingo which is to be conducted at
county fairs, or indeed regulate that bingo at all. If
the question is thought to be purely one of statu-
These situations are exempt only with the provision that bingo be "conducted for no more than 12 con-
secutive days in any one calendar year." (M.S. 349.19.)
2The ambiguity lies in the fact that the exemption is stated to be from the requirements of M.S. 349.14
and 349.17, Subd. 2 and 3, but M.S. 349.14 itself incorporates the whole of Ch. 349 by reference. There-
fore the exemption would seem'to be from all requirements of Ch. 349. However, that result is contractic-
tory to the general purpose of the new law. Therefore, it seems more reasonable to assume that the legisla-
ture intended to exempt the listed bingo situations only from the requirements which are specifically
stated in M.S. 349.14, which are 1, 2, and 3 above.
tory construction, then cities will have power to re-
gulate bingo at county fairs, since the bingo law is
the more recently enacted. The above cited opin-
ions were written not in context of one state law
conflicting with another, but in the context of a
municipal regulation conflictinj with clear statu-
tory language. We can venture no answer to the
question at this time. We expect that a city which
has a county fair within its boundaries will want to
request an opinion of the Attorney General fairly
soon.
Regulation of the Persons Who May Work at Bingo
Games
The law requires that each sponsoring organiza-
tion appoint a bingo manager to oversee all aspects
of the bingo operation and be responsible for the
conduct of bingo according to all laws and regula-
tions. The bingo manager must be a member (whose
dues are paid up) of the sponsoring organization,
and must have been a member for at least two
years. The bingo manager must give a fidelity bond
in favor of the sponsoring organization in the
amount of $10,000, conditioned on faithful per-
formance of duties. The local governing body may
waive this bond requirement. If it is not waived,
the bonding company must agree to give the local
governing body 30 days notice before the bond is
revoked.. No person may be bingo manager for
more than one organization.
Each sponsoring organization must also provide
one or more checkers for each bingo occasion. The
checkers must record the number of cards played
in each bingo game and the prizes awarded to each
card, and certify the accumulated information at
the end of each occasion. Also, at the end of each
occasion, someone other than a checker must com-
pare the checker's records of cards played against
the total amount of money taken in.
Of course there may be other tasks which need
to be performed in connection with bingo. Since
other tasks are not mentioned in the law, each
sponsoring organization can create such other jobs
as it thinks necessary.
The new bingo law restricts which persons may
work at bingo games, either for pay or not. How-
ever, the extent of the restriction is somev: i ut con-
fused. It is clear, as stated above, that each bingo
manager must be an active member of the organi-
zation for at least two years. Under M.S. 349.17,
Subd. 1, the following types of persons may be
engaged, either for pay or not; to assist in conduc-
ing bingo occasions: active members, spouses and
surviving spouses of active members, and members
of auxiliary organizations.. .
-2- .
• r
t .
In addition, any other person may be "hired" as
a "non- management assistant," if the membership
of the sponsoring organization approves in a resolu-
tion which is recorded in the official minutes.
But there is a catch. Another subdivision of that
same section (M.S. 349.17, Subd. 5) lists the pur-
poses for which expenditures of money in connec-
tion with bingo may be made. Included in that list
is the following language: "... compensation to
active members who conduct the game." Thus,
Subd. 5 directly conflicts with Subd. 1. According
to the House Research staff, the conflict is inadver-
tent. In the original language of the bill, only ac-
tive members were allowed to be hired. The other
classes of possible employees were added in amend-
ments on the floor or in conference committee,
and Subd. 5 was not amended as it. should have
been. Therefore, the legislative intent is clearly
with Subd. 1, even though the technical rules of
statutory construction would favor Subd. 5. (See
M.S. 645.26.)
In any case, compensation which is paid to per- .
sons who work at bingo games may not exceed $12
per bingo occasion. It appears that this compensa-
tion limit applies to all persons who work at bingo
games, including the bingo manager.
Prizes
M.S. 349.17, Subd. 4 provides:
Prizes for a single bingo game -shall not exceed
$100 except prizes for a game of the type com-
monly known as a "cover -all" game. "Cover -all"
prizes may exceed $100 provided that, the aggre-
gate value of such prizes for a bingo occasion shall
not exceed $500. The aggregate value of prizes for
a bingo occasion shall not exceed $2,500 except .
that in the case of a bingo occasion during which a'
"cover -all" game is played for a maximum prize of
more than $100 but not more than $500, the ag-
gregate value of prizes for the bingo occasion shall
not exceed $3,000. Merchandise prizes shall be
valued at fair market retail value.
In addition, M.S. 349.17, Subd. 6.provides:
Each bingo winner shall be determined and
every prize shall be awarded and delivered the
same day on which the bingo occasion is con-
ducted. j
r
Use of Bingo Proceeds
As mentioned above, M.S. 349.17, Subd. 5 lists
the expenditures which may be incurred and
amounts paid in connection with the conduct of
.. r t
bingo. This listing includes reasonable amounts for
bingo supplies and equipment, prizes, rent and util-
ities, bingo license fees, and compensation to ac-
tive members who conduct the games.
After the listed allowable expenditures are taken
care of, all the remaining bingo proceeds must be
spent in certain lawful. purposes which are detailed
in M.S. 349.12, Subd. 6, after authorization by the
membership of the sponsoring organization at a
regular meeting. M.S. 349.12, Subd. 6 is reprinted
in this memo as Sec. 13 of the attached model
ordinance.
Licensing Procedures
The law requires that the local fire and police
authorities, and the local building inspector, if any
be consulted before each bingo license is issued and
before bingo regulations are promulgated. The law
does not say exactly what purpose; this consulta-
tion is to serve, nor does it require that any recom-
mendations made be binding on the city council.
There is in the law no limit on the number of
bingo licenses which may be issued in any city.
The law does require at least a 30-day waiting
period before issuance, measured from the date of
application, and also requires that no license appli-
cation be held for more than 180 days without ac-
tion by the local governing body.
Licenses are to be good for one year, and local
governing bodies are specifically given theauthority
to suspend or revoke licenses for violations of the
state bingo law or of local ordinances.
Records and Reporting
Each sponsoring organization must keep records
of its gross receipts and profits for each bingo oc-
casion, as well as the checkers' records mentioned
above. In addition, each payment made in connec-
tion with bingo must be documented with a receipt,
and all payments must be listed in a master record,
itemized as to payee, amount, and date of payment.
Bingo receipts must be accounted for by a per -
son other than the organization's regular book-
keeper, must be placed in a separate accotmt, and
must otherwise be segregated in all respects. All
records required to be kept must be preserved for
at least three years.
-3-
Monthly reports of all payments made out of
bingo proceeds must be made to the membership,
again itemized as to payee, amount, and date of
payment.
Annually, each sponsoring organization must file
with the local governing body:
1. Copies of Internal Revenue Service Form 990
or 990 -T, if either is required of the organi-
zation under federal law.
2. Copies of the Minnesota Department of
Commerce's Charitable Organization Annual
Report and Statement of Bingo Operations,
even though under other law neither may be
required of the organization.
3. Copies of all lease agreements to which the
organization is a party in regard to premises
leased for the conduct of bingo.
Finally, at the conclusion of each bingo occasion,
the checkers' records of cards played must be com-
pared to actual cash receipts. If a discrepancy of
more than $20 exists at that time, the discrepancy
must be reported to and investigated by the local
governing body.
Duties of the City Council
Each bingo operation in the state must be licen-
sed after August 1, 1976, -with the exceptions
noted above. Therefore, each city which allows
bingo to be played within its boundaries must have
a bingo licensing ordinance. Even if the only bingo
in the city falls within the exceptions in the state
law, an ordinance is still necessary, since the ex-
emptions are apparently not from all requirements
of the- law, but only from some. For example, it
appears that every bingo operation must file the re-.
ports mentioned in the law and keep the proper re-
cords, and it will be the city's responsibility to see
that these requirements are met.
Taking an unusual approach to the problems of
enforcement,3 the state bingo law requires that
each local licensing authority earmark 25 per cent
of its bingo license fees, up to $25,000 each year,
for the enforcement of the bingo law and bingo
ordinances. Enforcement would, of course, in-
clude investigation of the truth of the information
given in license applications, investigation of dis-
crepancies reported in receipts, and follow -up on
the reports which must be filed every year by each
bingo operation. The state law also certainly con-
templates, but does not specifically require, an on-
going systematic enforcement effort, including
periodic checks of each bingo site and all bingo
records.
31n the League's experience, this is the only requirement of its kind in force in this state. The general rule
as to license fees in Minnesota has been that the fee should cover the costs of administration and enforce-
ment of the licensing ordinance, but should not produce any substantial revenue over and above those
costs. However, the exact amount of the license fee is within the discretion of the council, and the allow-
able range of fees will be greater when the business to be licensed is clearly a potential nuisance, e.g. the
selling of intoxicating liquor. Bingo would also seem to fall into this potential nuisance category. It is not
clear, however, whether the legislature intended that bingo license fees be set under the general rule, with
at least 25 per cent of the fee to be supported by specific expenditures, or whether it intended to intro-
duce the concept of license fees as revenue - producing measures, allowing bingo license fees to be some
amount higher than if they were set under the general rule.
MODEL ORDINANCE
The new state law on bingo specifically provides that local regulations may be more restrictive than state
taw, including outright prohibition of bingo. The law itself also offers, in several areas, a choice of restric-
tions; some fairly loose, some fairly stringent. The attached model ordinance incorporates specifically all of
the state law requirements, choosing the stricter alternative where a choice is available, and offering com-
ments and alternative provisions where appropriate.
The model ordinance may be used most effectively if it is considered as a working draft. In no case
should the ordinance be merely copied or followed blindly. There are many policy decisions which must be
made, on the basis of previous local experience with bingo and the possibility of future problems. We urge
that these decisions be made carefully, and that existing practices be changed wherever they invite fraud or
commercialization.

AN ORDINANCE LICENSING AND REGULATING THE CONDUCT OF BINGO, REPEALING
INCONSISTENT ORDINANCES, AND PROVIDING A PENALTY FOR VIOLATION
The Council of the City of ordains:
Section 1. Purpose. The purpose of this ordi-
nance is to closely regulate and control the con-
duct of the game of bingo and to prohibit commer-
cialization of bingo.
Sec. 2. Definitions. Whenever the following
terms appear in this ordinance, they shall have the
meanings assigned to them in this section.
Subdivision 1. Active member. - A member of
the organization requesting a license whose dues
are paid for the current membership period and
who has been a member for at least six months.

five figures. The central row has four figures with
the Word '.'free "marked in the center space thereof.
A player wins a game of bingo by completing any
pre - announced combination of spaces or, in the ab-
sence of a pre- announcement of a combination of
spaces, any combination of five spaces in a row,
either vertical, horizontal, or diagonal.
Subd. 3. Bingo occasion. A single gathering or
session at which a series of one or more successive
bingo games is played.
�15
Subd. 4. Eligible organization. Any fraternal,
religious, veterans, or other nonprofit organization
which has been in existence for at least three years
and has at least 30 active members.
Subd. 5. Profit. The gross receipts collected
from one or more bingo occasions less reasonable
sums necessarily and actually expended for bingo
supplies and equipment, prizes, rent, and utilities
used during the bingo occasions, bingo license fees,
and compensation to persons lawfully hired to con-
duct or assist in conducting a bingo occasion.
Sec. 3. License Required. Subdivision 1. No
bingo occasion shall be conducted except by an
eligible organization which has secured a license for
that purpose, as provided in this ordinance. -.
Comment: Note_ that this provision requires
licensing of all bingo, including those occa-
sions not required to be licensed understate
law.
Subd. 2. A license shall be valid for twelve cal-
endar months from the date of issuance.
Subd. 3. The annual license fee shall be $
Comment: The following meager information
on bingo license fees was gleaned from the
League files. As more cities pass ordinances
in response to the new state law, this list will
be updated.
City (Population) Bingo License Fee
Breezy Point (233)
$50 annually
Brooklyn Center
$2 per bingo date
(34,173)
Crystal (30,925)
$20 annually
Maplewood (25,186)

West St. Paul
$15 per one -hour
(18,802)
bingo session
$50 per four -hour
bingo session
White Bear Lake
$5 per bingo date
(23,313)
Subd. 4. A license application shall be acted
upon by the council no sooner than 30 days and
no later than 180 days after the date of application.
Subd. 5. No bingo license issued may be trans-
ferred to any other person or organization. No bingo
license shall be transferred to any location other
than the location specked in the license, without
prior approval by the council.
Comment: M.S. Ch. 349 does not mention license
transfer. The nature of the license would be
contradicted by transfer between organiza-
tions. Prior approval of location changes will
enhance the city's ability to enforce the
terms of the ordinance.
Sec. 4. License Applications. Every application
authorities" prior to promulgating bingo re-
gulations and issuing each bingo license.
Depending on local conditions, the council
may wish to make this section more specific
by enumerating some of the items of infor-
mation which the application form must
contain. Some suggested items are: the
names, addresses, and telephone numbers of
the bingo manager and the bookkeeper- of
the bingo receipts; the name and address of
the legal owner of the premises upon which
the bingo is to be conducted; and the intend-
ed use of the bingo profits. The council may
also wish to require that all information on
the application be updated by the organiza-
tion when there is any change.
Sec. 5. Suspension or Revocation. The council
may suspend for a period not exceeding 60 days,
or revoke, any bingo license for violation of any
provision of M.S. Ch. 349 or this ordinance. The
holder of the license shall be granted a hearing
upon at least 10 days notice before revocation or
suspension is ordered. The notice shall state the
time and place of the heating and the nature of the
charges against the licensee.
Sec. 6. Conduct of Bingo.. Subdivision 1. Each
licensed organization shall appoint a bingo manager
to supervise bingo occasions conducted by it. The
for a bingo license shall be made to the city clerk bingo manager must be a member of the licensed
on a form supplied by the city and containing such
information as the clerk or the council may require.
No person shall make a false statement in an appli-
cation. Copies of each application shall be referred
organization, with dues paid for the current mem-
bership period, and must have been a member of
the organization for at least two years. The bingo
manager shall give a fidelity bond in the sum of
to the city's police chief, fire chief, and building $10,000 in favor of the organization conditioned
inspector, for their recommendations.
Comment: M.S. 349.16, Subd. 1 requires the
council to "consult with the local building
inspector, if any, and the fire and police
0
on the faithful performance of his or her duties.
Terms of the bond shall provide that notice shall
be given in writing to the city council not less than
30 days. prior to its cancellation. Each bingo occa-
sion shall be conducted under the direct supervi-
sion of the bingo manager, who shall be responsible
for the conduct of the bir;go occasion in compli-
ance. with all applicable laws and ordinances. No
person shall act as bingo manager for more than
one organization.
Comment M.S. 349.17, Subd. 7 does allow the
bond requirement to be waived by unani-
mous vote of the city council. Suggested al-
ternative language follows: Insert after
"duties" in the second sentence ", except
that the city council may waive the bond re-
quirement upon a showing by the.proposed
bingo manager and the licensed organization
that. bond is not required to protect the
organization and upon a unanimous vote of
the city council. The requirement that
bingo be conducted only under the direct
supervision of the bingo manager is optional,
although it follows logically from the
requirement of M.S. 349.17, Subd. 7, that
the bingo manager be responsible for all
aspects of the game.
Subd. 2.. One or more checkers shall be engaged
for each bingo occasions . The checkers shall be
i
active members of the licensed organization or
spouses of active members of the licensed organiza-
tion. The checker or, checkers shall record the num-
ber of cards purchased and played in each game
prior to the completion of each game and record
the prizes awarded to the recorded cards. Each
checker shall certify all figures which he or she has
recorded as accurate and correct to the best of his
or her knowledge, on forms prescribed by the city
clerk.
Comment: As to the requirement that checkers
be active members or spouses, see Comment
following Sec. 6, Subd. 3.
-7-
Subd. 3. Additional persons may be engaged for
other duties in connection with bingo occasions as
needed, but no person shall assist in the conduct of
a bingo occasion who is not an active member of
the licensed organization, or the spouse of an ac-
tive member of the licensed organization.
Comment: Under M.S. 349.17, Subd. 1, active
members, spouses, and surviving spouses of
active members, and members of auxiliary
organizations may also be engaged, either for
pay or not, to assist in conducting bingo
occasions. M.S. 349.17, Subd. 1 also allows
other persons to be hired as "non- manage-
ment assistants," if the membership of the
organization approves in a resolution which
is recorded in the official minutes. However,
M.S. 349.17, Subd. 5 limits the expenditures
of money in connection with bingo to equip-
ment, prizes, rent, etc., and "compensation
to active members who conduct the game."
Thus, Subd. 5 is in direct conflict with Subd.
1 in that Subd. 1 allows some persons to be
hired which Subd. 5 says may not be paid.
In the original language of the bill, there was
no conflict, but amendments on the floor
and in conference committee were made to
loosen the requirements, in response to pro
tests by some legislators from out -state cities.
The technical rules of statutory construction
would favor Subd. 5 as controlling, but the
legislative intent is clearly with Subd. 1. This
model ordinance takes a middle road, believ-
.ing that Subd. 1 will- control Subd. 5, but
that in most situations it should not be
necessary to allow surviving spouses, auxiliary
members, or any other persons to work at
bingo games. Of course, if the current prac-
tice in the community does include bingo
workers who are not active members or
spouses and it would be a hardship to change,
the city may wish to change Section 6,
Subds. 2 and 3 appropriately.
Subd. 4. No person shall receive more than $12
as compensation for any duties in connection with
any one bingo occasion.
Subd. S. No more than 104 bingo occasions
each year or two bingo occasions each week stall
be conducted by any licensed organization.
Comment: M.S. 349.17, Subd. 2 allows some
flexibility in the frequency of bingo games.
The following additional language is offered
to provide that flexibility, if the council de-
sires: Add ", except that the council may
authorize up to additional bingo occa-
sions (per week) (per year) to be conducted
by a licensed organization, upon a finding by
the council that such additional bingo occa-
sions will not defeat the purposes of this
ordinance as set out in Sec. 1."
Subd. 6. A bingo occasion shall not continue
for more than four consecutive hours.
Sec. 7. Bingo on Leased Premises. Subdivision
1. Any person, corporation, or eligible organiza-
tion, which leases any premises that it owns to two
or more eligible organizations for purposes includ-
ing the conduct of bingo occasions, shall not allow
more than four bingo occasions to be conducted
on the premises in any week.
Comment: Notes that this provision is more
stringent than M.S. 349.17, Subd. 3(1),
which places no limit on the number of
bingo occasions per week which may be con -
ducted by any number of eligible organiza-
tions in premises which are leased from an
organization which is itself eligible to con -
duct bingo. This means that any building
which is owned by an eligible organization
could become the site of constant bingo
games, day in and day out. Such a situation
certainly would encourage, rather than re-
strain, . the commercialization of bingo.
Subd: 2. Any eligible organization which leases
any premises to one or more other eligible organi-
zations for purposes including the conduct of
bingo occasions shall use the proceeds of the rental,
less reasonable sums for maintenance, furnishings
and other necessary expenses, only for the uses for
which bingo profits may be used, as set out in Sec-
tion 13 of this ordinance. Not less than once each
year the lessor organization shall report to the city
council the disposition of all receipts which it has
received during the reporting period from the
rental of its facilities to other organizations for
purposes including the conduct of bingo occasions.
Subd. 3. No eligible organization shall conduct
bingo on any leased premises without a written
lease for a term at least equal to the remainder of
the term of the bingo license of the lessee organiza-
tion. Lease payments shall be at a fixed monthly
rate, or rate per bingo occasion, not, subject to
change during the term of the lease..No such lease
shall provide that rental payments be based on a
percentage of receipts or profits from bingo occa-
sions.
Sec. 8. Prizes. Subdivision 1. Prizes.for a single
bingo game shall not exceed $100 except prizes for
a game of the type commonly known as a "cover-
all" game. "Cover-all'.' may exceed $100 pro-
vided that the aggregate value of such prizes for a.
bingo occasion shall not exceed $500. The aggregate
value of prizes for a bingo occasion shall not ex-
teed $2,500 except that in the case of a bingo
occasion during which a "cover -all" game is played
for a maximum prize of more than $100 but less
than $500, the aggregate value of prizes for the
bingo occasion shall not exceed $3,000. Merchan-
dise prizes shall be valued at fair market retail value.
Comment: Limits on dollar value of prizes are
directed at commercialization, rather than
fraud. Thus,. more restrictive regulation
_$_ could only require lower dollar amounts.
- Subd. 2: Each bingo winner shall be determined
and every prize shall be awarded and delivered the
same day on which the bingo occasion is conducted.
Sec. 9. Records. Subdivision 1. Each licensed
organization shall keep records of its gross receipts
and profits for each bingo occasion. All deductions
from gross receipts from a bingo occasion shall be
documented with receipts or -other records. The-
distribution of prafasshall be: ite$aized as to payee,
amount, and date of payment. Records required by
this ordinance shall be preserved for three years.
Subd. 2. Gross receipts shall be compared to the
checkers' records for the bingo occasion by a per-
son who did not sell cards for the bingo occasion.
If a discrepancy. exceeding $20 is found between
the amount of gross receipts for a bingo occasion
as determined by the checkers' records, and the
amount of gross receipts as determined by totaling
the cash receipts, the discrepancy shall be reported
to and investigated by the council.
Subd. 3. Bingo gross receipts shall be segregated
from other revenues of an organization and placed
in a separate account. Each organization shall
maintain separate records of its bingo operations.
The person who accounts for bingo gross receipts
and profits shall not be. the same person who
accounts for other revenues of the licensed organi-
zation.
-9-
Sec. 10. Reports. Subdivision.l. Each licensed
organization shall report monthly to its member-
ship its gross receipts from bingo, its profits from
bingo, and the distribution of those profits item-
ized as required by Sec. 9, Subd. 1.
Subd. 2. At the time of making its first license
application under this ordinance, and on an annual
basis thereafter, each licensed- organization shall
file
with-
the council copies
of the following:
a.
. The
most recently filed
department of the
treasury, internal revenue service, "Return
of Organization Exempt from.income Tax,"
Form 990, or a comparable form if the
organization is required to file the form with
the department of the treasury.
b. The most recently filed department of the
treasury, internal revenue service, "Exempt
Organization Business Income Tax," Form
990 -T, or a comparable form if the organi-
zation is required to file the form with the
department of the treasury.
c: The most recently filed annual report re-
quired of charitable organizations by M.S.
309.53, provided that an organization that is
licensed to conduct bingo but is exempt
from submitting this report to the depart-
ment of commerce under Sec. 309.53, Subd.
la, shall nevertheless submit such a report
under this subdivision.
d. The most recently filed Minnesota depart-
ment of commerce "Statement of Bingo
Operations." All information contained in
the statement shall be true, correct, and
complete to the best of the knowledge of
the person or persons signing the statement.
e.. Any lease agreements required by this act,
executed by the organization in regard to
premises leased for the conduct of bingo.
Comment: The types of organizations which are
required to file IRS Forms 990 and 990 -T
are generally the same as the types of organi-
zations which are eligible for bingo licenses,
except that Forms 990 and 990-T need not
be filed by any organization "that normally
has gross receipts in each taxable year of not
more than $5,000" (1975 IRS Instructions
.for Form 990, General Instruction A.4).
Subd. 3. No person shall knowingly make a
false statement in any report required by this sec-
tion.
Sec. 11. Inspection and Investigation. Subdivi-
sion 1. -Any city official or employee, having a
J v
bingo license fees, and compensation to persons
lawfully hired to conduct or assist in conducting a
bingo occasion.
Comment: With regard to expenditures for com-
pensation, see Comment following Sec. 6,
Subd. 3.
Sec. 13. Use of Bingo Profits. Profits from any
bingo occasion shall be expended only as author-
ized by a resolution recorded in the official minutes
at a regular meeting of the licensed. organization
and only for one or more of the following purposes:
a. Benefiting persons by enhancing their oppor-
tunity for religious or education advance-
ment, by relieving or protecting them from
disease, suffering, or distress, by contribut-
ing to their physical well - being, by assisting
them in establishing themselves in life as
worthy and useful citizens, or by increasing
their comprehension of and devotion to the
principles upon which this nation was
duty to perform with reference to a bingo license, founded.
and any police officer may inspect and examine b. Initiating, performing, or fostering worthy
the bingo - records of any licensed organization public works or enabling or furthering the
upon 24 hours notice.
Comment: See footnote 3 and related discussion
on page 4.
Sec. 12. Use of Bingo Receipts. No expense
shall be incurred or amounts paid in connection
with the conduct of bingo, except those reasonably
expended for bingo supplies and equipment, prizes,
rent, or utilities used during the bingo occasion,
erection or maintenance of public structures.
c. Lessening the burdens borne by government
or voluntarily supporting, augmenting, or
supplementing services which government
would normally rerider to the people.
d. The improving, expanding, maintaining, or
repairing of real property owned or leased
-10- by the licensed organization.
i P
Profits from bingo occasions shall not be ex-
pended for the erection or acquisition of any real
property, unless the city council specifically autho-
rizes the expenditures after finding that the pro-
perty will be used exclusively for one or more of
the purposes specified in this section.
Comment: The language in this section is taken
directly from M.S. 349.12, Subd. 6. The
usefulness of this language is questionable in
terms of deciding which real -life projects
may and may not be lawfully supported by
bingo proceeds: Local councils will want to
consider the implications of some of the
listed purposes. For instance, under (d)
above, a fraternal organization which also
holds a liquor license may use bingo proceeds
to improve, expand, etc. its clubroom and
bar, even though that expenditure would
have little or nothing to do with the types of
projects contemplated by (a), (b), and (c). In
making policy decisions in this area, a coun-
cil will want to take into account the current
bingo practices in its area,- identifying the
purposes of bingo proceeds which the local
community conscience will support. Councils
should keep in mind, however, that the legis-
lature has declared that the purpose of bingo
regulation is to prevent fraud and commer-
cialization.
Sec. 14. Exemptions.. Bingo may be conducted
without complying with the requirements of Sec.
6, Subds. 5 and 6, and Sec. 7 if conducted: (a) in
connection with the county fair conducted by the
county agricultural society or in connection with a
civic celebration recognized by resolution of the
city council, provided that bingo shall not be con-
ducted for more than 12 days during any one
county fair or recognized civic celebration, or (b)
by an organization that conducts fewer than five
bingo occasions in any calendar year.
-11-
Comment: Following the lead of M.S. 349.19,
this section allows bingo at county fairs and
civic celebrations, and when conducted
fewer than five times per year by any one
organization, to be held without compliance
with the limits on the number of bingo occa-
sions per week, the four -hour limit for any
one bingo occasion, and all the requirements
related to bingo on leased premises. M.S.
349.19 also provides authority for exemp-
tion from the requirements that a license be
procured and that the sponsoring organiza-
tion have been in existence for three years
and have 30 active members. However, on
the local level, it seems wiser to maintain
these last two requirements, unless a harm-
less continuing practice in the community
would be terminated. Since the city will, in
any case, be responsible for enforcing the
other requirements related to bingo, i.e. the
use of profits, the records and reporting, etc.,
it is wiser to require that a license be procur -.
ed, so that the bingo sponsors will have clear
notice of the rules they must follow and the
city will have on record the names of the
people responsible for proper conduct of the
game. Of course, any city which has no
county fair within its boundaries should de-
lete that language.
As mentioned earlier_ in this memo, there
appears to be a conflict between the new
bingo law and M.S. 38.01, which gives county
societies exclusive jurisdiction and control
over the county fair grounds during the fair.
The question is whether cities will be allow-
ed any control over bingo which is played at
county fairs. As far as we know, an analog-
ous question has never arisen. The answer
will have to await either an opinion of the
Attorney General, or a clarifying amend-
ment to the law.
Sec. 15. Penalties. Violation of any provision
of this ordinance shall be a misdemeanor. A person
convicted of violating any provision of this ordi-
nance shall be subject to a fine of not more than
$300 or imprisonment for a term not to exceed 90
days or both, plus in either case the costs of prose-
cution.

law applying to statutory cities, but many

in previous ordinances, this section may be

Sec. 17. Effective Date. This ordinance be- (SEAL) Mayor
comes effective upon its passage and publication Cleric
according to law.
Comment: Other Possible Provisions
. In the.past, some cities have regulated some other aspects of bingo games. The most common regula-
tion in the ordinances isa limit on advertising of bingo. For instance, the Minneapolis code has included the
following provision:
267.340. Advertising restricted. No person
shall advertise the playing of the game of bingo,
except that not more than two (2) signs, each
not to exceed the dimensions of two (2) by
four (4) feet, may be displayed on the building
where the game of bingo is being played, con -
taining only the words "Bingo Played Here,"
together with the name of the licensee and the
day and hour of such playing; providing, how- -
ever, that such organizations shall not be pro -
hibited from circularizing their own member-
ship respecting such bingo games.
In addition, many cities have prohibited the sale of liquor in conjunction with bingo, a provision that
would have meaning only if bingo. is played in a place that otherwise has a liquor license. Finally, some ordi-
nances prohibit minors from playing bingo unless accompanied by a parent or guardian,

-6
An informational service prepared by the Office of the Minnesota Attorney General for County
Attorneys and other public officials involved with the administration of local and state government.
Volume 3, Number 2 July- August, 1978
A WORD FROM THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL
As many of you know, the 1978 Min-
nesota legislature adopted new gambling
laws. The feature article in this month's
i`lessencer examines the history of our
gambling laws leading up to the passage of
the new act and the impact of the new act
on local governments. The implementation
of the new gambling laws will challenge
city and county" governments to work
together in delineating jurisdiction and
creating enforcement programs. It is our
hope that this article will assist you in un-
derstanding the new act and in developing
local guidelines most satisfactory for your
community.
We have also included in this issue syn-
opses of several decisions recently handed
down by the Minnesota Supreme Court as
well as summaries of some recent opinions
issued by this office. We welcome any com-
ments or inquiries you may have on these
sections of the Messenger.

GAMBLING IN MINNESOTA:
NEW ACT AUTHORIZES
CERTAIN GAMBLING DEVICES
Before 1976 Minnesota law categorically prohibited participation in gambling and
related acts. The law expressly prohibited betting, lotteries, and !gambling devices if
they involved any risk of loss or gain dependent upon chance. In 1976 the legislature
altered this unequivocal stance by authorizing bingo games if conducted by nonprofit .
organizations for public- spirited purposes.
This year the legislature extended the types of permissible gambling activities. The '
new provisions (Minn. Laws 1978, ch. 507), which became effective August 1, 1978,
authorize licensed organizations to operate gambling devices and to conduct raffles if
the organizations meet other statutory requirements. Like the 1976 amendments
authorizing bingo, the 1978 legislation provides minimum standards for methods of
play, procedures for accounting, and qualifications for licensing.
According to Rep. Robert Jensen, who helped draft the new act, the purpose of the
new legislation is to approve activities accepted by society but previously. prohibited
by law. The drafting committee felt most citizens approve of raffles and games using
devices such as "paddlewheels" and "tipboards," provided they are used by nonprofit
organiztions for fund raising purposes. Sen. Tom Nelson, who sponsored the bill in .
the Senate, said another major purpose for enacting Chapter 507 was to alleviate
problems law enforcement officials have experienced in enforcing former gambling
laws. If the new legislation accurately reflects public opinion, then the changes should
eliminate many enforcement difficulties. In addition, the changes should lessen enfor-
cement problems because they allow authorized organizations to conduct activities
openly and require them to make records of their activities available for inspection.
CHANGES IN THE LAW
The new law authorizing licensed organizations to operate gambling devices and to
conduct raffles changed four chapters of the Minnesota statutes. The provisions
governing the operation of these activities are codified as Minn. Stat. §349.26. The dis-
cussion below summarizes the major provisions of Minn. Stat. §349.26 as well as the
changes made in the other three chapters.
Provisions for Licensing and Operation
The amendments to Chapter 349 deal with three basic issues, which are (1) what ac-
tivities are authorized, (2) who may conduct these activities, and (3) how eligible
organizations must conduct their operations.
(continued on page_ 2)
(conthrued front page l )
1. Authorized Activities
Under the new act any county or city may establish a system
for licensing organizations to hold raffles and /or operate gam -
bling devices. They may adopt rules governing these activities
that are more restrictive than state law, including ordinances
prohibiting such functions. If a local government authorizes
gambling activities, its authorization extends to only those ac-
tivities specified in Minn. Stat. §349.26.
The amendments to Chapter 349 specify three types of gambl-
ing devices that licensed organizations may operate. These
devices are paddlewheels, tipboards, and apparatus used for raf-
fles. A paddlewheel is a wheel divided into numbered sections
which uses a pointer to indicate winning chances after the wheel
is spun. A tipboard is a board or placard marked off into sec-
tions containing a hidden number of numbers which determine
the winning chances. The third type of authorized gambling
device includes any apparatus used in conducting raffles. The
statute defines "raffle" as a game in which a participant buys a
ticket for a chance at a prize, with the winner determined by a
random drawing.
In addition to defining each type of authorized gambling
device, Minn. Stat. §349.26 expressly prohibits the.possession or
operation of any gambling mechanism activated by a coin and
any game in which the outcome of any athletic event determines
the winner.
2. Authorized Organizations
All organizations conducting any of the recently endorsed ac-
tivities must have a license from a local licensing authority.Gam-
bling licenses are valid for one year, and they may be suspended
or revoked if the licensee violates any provision of Minn. Stat.
§349.26.
Organizations are eligible to receive licenses only if they meet
four specified requirements. First, only fraternal, religious,
veterans, or other nonprofit organizations exempted from taxa-
tion under Minn. Stat. §290.05 subd. I(i) or (k) may acquire
licenses. Eligible tax exempt organizations include those
organized for exclusively scientific, literary, religious, charitable,
educational, or artistic purposes as well as those organized to
make contributions for governmental use. Clubs operated ex-
clusively for pleasure, recreation, or other non - profitable pur-
poses are also eligible for licenses.
As a second condition for licensing, an organization must
have been in existence for at least three years. A third condition
for eligibility requires the organizations to have 30 or more par-
ticipants who have paid all their membership dues and have been
members for at least six months.
A fourth condition for license eligibility is imposed indirectly
byMinn. Stat. §349.26 subd. 10. This provision requires licensed
organizations to use all net proceeds from gambling events solely
for the lawful purposes defined in Minn. Stat. §349.12. This sec-
tion authorizes most educational, charitable, religious, or public -
spirited uses; however, it expressly excludes the erection or ac-
quisition of real property unless such expenditures are
specifically approved by the local government.
The act does not require local authorities to issue licenses to
all associations meeting these four criteria. Local governments
may adopt licensing requirements more restrictive than state
law. Thus, an organization eligible to receive a license under
state rules may still be ineligible under more restrictive local
requirements.
3. Rules For Operation
Minn. Stat. §349.26 regulates four aspects of gambling and
raffle operations. First, these provisions specify who is permitted
to conduct the activities. They require that a single manager
must supervise all activities and that this person must be an ac-
tive member of the organization. In addition, all persons who
assist with any aspect of the gambling events must be either an
active member of the organization or the spouse of an active
member. Neither the gambling manager nor other persons
assisting with the events may receive compensation for their own
Financial benefit.
A second restriction on gambling events requires all activities
to occur only on premises which the licensee owns or leases. The
one exception to this requirement is that raffle tickets may be
sold off premises.
A third regulation for conducting gambling events limits the
value of the prizes awarded at the games. Total prizes from any
single spin of a paddlewheel or from any single tipboard cannot
exceed $100. Daily prizes from paddlewheels and tipboards can-
not exceed $500. There are no limits on the value of prizes awar-
ded in single or daily raffles. In any calendar year the combined
value of prizes for all three games cannot exceed $15,000.
Finally, the act imposes comprehensive record keeping re-
quirements. Records of gross receipts, expenses, and profits
must be kept for each gathering. Licensees must itemize the dis-
tribution of profits as to payee, purpose, amount, and date of
payment. Further, each licensed organization must make
monthly financial reports of these records to its members and to
the local licensing authority. The organization must have a '
spearate accountant for gambling proceeds, and he must
segregate all gambling receipts from other organizational
revenues. Finally, all records must be available for public inspec\
tion and be preserved for three years.
OTHER AMENDMENTS
1. Criminal Code Changes
The new legislation made three changes in the criminal
statutes regulating gambling. The first change deleted a phrase
from the definition of "lottery." Previously, Minn. Stat. §609.75
subd. I included in the lottery definition "[any] plan designed for
or resulting in any private pecuniary gain." This phrase created
enforcement problems when charitable organizations argued
that their gambling activities were not lotteries because they did
not result in private monetary gain. The deletion of this phrase
from the lottery definition should clarify which activities will not
constitute lotteries prohibited by the criminal statutes.
A second change in the criminal code amended Minn. Stat.
§609.75 subd. 3 to remove the newly authorized activities from
the criminal prohibitions against betting.
The final change added a section expressly authorizing licen-
sed organizations to conduct endorsed gambling operations and
allowing a person to manufacture and sell gambling devices to
such organizations. Of course, all changes in the criminal law re-
quire all organizations to be licensed and to conduct all events in
accordance with Chapter 349 in order to avoid criminal
penalties.

(eonlinued front page 2)
2. Chapters 325 and 340
The new act also changed the statutes
regulating manufacturing and sales and
those dealing with intoxicating liquors.
In regulating businesses engaged in
manufacturing or in selling, Minn. Stat.
Ch. 325 formerly provided that the posses-
sion of gambling devices upon any licensed
premises was grounds for revocation of any
license under which a business operated.
Chapter 507 amended this provision to
allow nonprofit organizations licensed for
gambling to possess authorized gambling
devices without losing their business
licenses.
The new act also amended Minn. Stat.
Ch. 340, the Minnesota Intoxicating Li-
quor Act, to allow organizations having li-
quor licenses to keep and operate gambling
equipment if they are also licensed for
gambling.
ENFORCEMENT
State Provisions
Chapter 507 provides criminal and civil
sanctions for organizations violating
minimum state requirements. Organiza-
tions failing to comply with the require-
ments of Minn. Stat. §349.26 still fall
within the prohibitions of the criminal
code. Minn. Stat. §349.26 subd. 16 also
states that any violation of the new provi-
sions is itself a misdemeanor. In short,
organizations failing to meet .the minimum
state standards for keeping records,
managing activities, appropriating profits,
etc. are subject to criminal charges.
However, these criminal penalties do not
apply to violations of local rules. Thus,
local governments are free to determine
whether they want criminal penalties ap-
plied to any additional rules they adopt.
In addition to criminal penalties, civil
sanctions may apply to violations of the
act. Gambling licenses may be suspended
or revoked for any violation of Minn. Stat.
§349.26, but this consequence is not man-
dated by the act. Thus, unless local
authorities adopt such a provision, a
criminal conviction will not necessarily
result in license forfeiture. Futhermore,
business or trade licenses may be subject to
forfeiture pursuant to Minn: Stat. §325.54,
which authorizes licensing authorities to
revoke business licenses for the inten-
tional possession of. unauthorized gam-
bling devices.

RECENT CASES
MINNESOTA SUPREME COURT RULES
ON MIRANDA AND OTHER ISSUES
Following are summaries of some recent options of the Attorney General inter-
preting Minnesota Statutes.
MIRANDA RIGHTS
In an appeal from a district court order to suppress evidence obtained after the
defendant allegedly waived his Miranda rights, the Minnesota Supreme Court agreed
with the trial court's holding that the state had not sustained the "heavy burden"
necessary to establish that the waiver was knowing, intelligent and voluntary. The
court included in its decision discussions of the sufficiency of a waiver and burdens of
proof. '
At the outset, the court held, the state must offer proof that the Miranda warnings
were given to the defendant, that he indicated that he understood them, and that only
then did he give a statement. At that point, it is up to the defendant to prove that the
waiver was not knowing, voluntary or intelligent. If the defendant offers such
evidence, the trial court has the duty to make its own subjective, factual inquiry to
determine whether the statement was voluntary. In making this decision the court
should look at the "totality -of -the- circumstances." Brewer v'Williams, 430 U.S. 387
(1977). This test weighs a number of factors to determine whether the waiver was in-
deed given freely and with full knowledge of its consequences. The factors, set out by
the Minnesota court, are age, maturity, intelligence, education, experience, ability to
comprehend, lack of adequacy of the warnings, length and legality of detention,
nature of interrogation, physical deprivations, limits on access to counsel and friends,
and others.
In the absence of a specific finding that the district court's decision was clearly
erroneous, the supreme court will not reverse. It will, however, make an independent
assessment of the fact to determine whether the state has shown by a fair prepon-
derance of the evidence that the waiver was knowing, intelligent and voluntary.
The court also noted that the same test used to determine the voluntariness of a
waiver can also be used in determining the voluntariness of a confession.
State v. Linder, Minn. (filed July 14, 1978).
WITNESS IMPEACHMENT
A pretrial appeal from an evidentiary ruling in district court raised the issue of
whether the prosecution could impeach one of its own witnesses with extrinsic
evidence of a prior inconsistent statement. The Minnesota Supreme Court held that
such evidence should be barred and noted that to allow it would be to admit, under the
guise of impeachment, otherwise inadmissible evidence.
The court came to this conclusion by reviewing the legislative history of Rule 801
(d)(1)(a), Federal Rules of Evidence. This rule presently allows prior inconsistent
statements to be admitted substantively only if the declarant testifies under oath and is
subject to cross - examination concerning the statement. The original version of Rule
801 (d)(1)(a) was drafted in conjunction with Rule 607, which allows any party to at-
tack the credibility of a witness, and would have permitted the admission into evidence
of all prior inconsistent statements. However, Rule 801 (d)(1)(a) was amended to
restrict the admission of such evidence. The court reasoned that, correspondingly,Rule
607 should also be construed to restrict the admission of this type of evidence for im-
peachment purposes to avoid misuse of that rule to circumvent the operation of Rule
801(d)(1)(a)•
In dealing with the problem of the admissibility of prior inconsistent statements for
impeachment purposes, the court favored. the approach which balances the possible
unfair prejudice resulting from the adMission of the impeachment evidence against its
probative value.
State V. Dexter, Minn. (filed June 23, 1978.
(eonlinued on page 7)

_
(continued from page 3) 2. Delegation Of duties
To facilitate enforcement of this latter provision, Minn. Stat.
§325.56 directs peace officers to "observe- and inspect the
premises where occupations are carried on under license and
ascertain whether gambling devices are present." This section
further directs officers to report any violations to licensing
authorities, who, in turn, may revoke the business' license.
Whereas this provision appears to contemplate warrantless in-
spections for potential violations, such inspections could en-
counter constitutional difficulties in light of the recent decision
of the United States Supreme Court in Marshall v. Barlow's
Inc.,_U.S._, 98 S. Ct. 1816 (1978). There the Court found
that warrantless inspections of business premises conducted pur-
suant to the authority of the U.S. Occupational Safety and
Health Act of 1970 (OSHA) violate the warrant requirement of
the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. However, the
Court also stated that a warrant may not be required under other
regulatory circumstances if the business is of the type which has
a long tradition of close government supervision, such. as
businesses dealing with liquor or firearms. Whether businesses
or organizations engaging in gambling activities would fall
within this exception to the warrant requirement is an un-
resolved question. Hence, in the absence of consent, the safest
course for local officials would be to apply for an administrative
search warrant prior to routine inspections of such entities.
Local Options
The primary reason for enacting Chapter, 507 was to change
state gambling laws to reflect public attitudes. Because not all
communities have the same views on gambling, the legislature
provided only general guidelines for conducting and enforcing
these activities and left several issues to the discretion of local
authorities.
The following discussion presents general areas left open for
local regulation. Each discussion lists specific issues which a city
or county government may wish to address in adopting its rules.
1. Sanctions For Violations
Chapter 507 does not attach either criminal or civil sanctions
to violations of local regulations. Thus, local authorities may
decide which sanctions, if any, should attach to the activities
they choose to authorize. The following list includes some of the
enforcement issues local governments may wish to resolve.
® Should criminal penalties apply to violations of local rules? If
so, which penalties are appropriate?
® Which violations, if any, should result in revocation or
suspension of an organization's gambling license? What
notice and hearing requirements should apply to the revoca-
tion or suspension proceedings?
® Should license revocation have additional ramifications,such
as making an organization ineligible to reapply for another
license for a specified time period?
® Will a criminal conviction for a violation of the gambling
rules require forfeiture of an organization's license?
® Should applications for licenses be made under oath or
affirmation?
-4-
Enforcement of the new gambling act will include such sundry
duties as examining required records, attending gambling ac-
tivities, and inspecting licensed premises. The act does not
delegate these duties to specific officials or units of local govern-
ment. Therefore, counties and cities are free to develop the en-
forcement scheme most suitable for their resources. Some of the
issues that may arise are listed below.
® Which unit of government should assume licensing and
regulatory responsibility for vicinities within the jurisdiction
of both a county and a city? Because the act does not
delineate enforcement or licensing jurisdiction, local govern-
ments may wish to agree on this issue before they establish
their licensing systems.
® Who shall assume ..primary responsibility for examining
organizations' books and records - agents of the licensing
authority or local peace officers?
® Which officials should have primary responsibility for enforc-
ing rules governing the operation of games and those cover-
ing the possession of equipment?
3. Record Keeping
To help ensure that the proceeds of authorized activities are
devoted to the required purposes, the local authorities may wish.' °"''
to adopt record keeping requirements which are more restrictive
than state standards. The following issuds may bear
consideration.
a Would rules specifying what expenses may be deducted from
gross receipts of gambling occasions assist record examina-
tion? If so, what expenses should be authorized ?.
® Should there be a limit on the length of time an organization
has to dispose of gambling profits to the uses permitted by
statute? If so, what time limit would facilitate record inspec-
tion?
4
4. Other Matters
The largest and perhaps most significant areas of discretion
left to local officials concern license eligibility and the actual
processes of conducting gambling activities and distributing
gambling equipment. A few of the major questions that may
arise concerning these areas are listed below.
® Would specific requirements for the form and display of gam-
bling licenses assist in identifying legitimate operations?
® Should organizations be required to open their premises for
inspection as a condition for licensing? Such a licensing re-
quirement could evidence an organization's voluntary sub-
mission to close governmental regulation, thereby exempting
it from the search warrant requirement under Barlow's.
a Should participation in the endorsed activities be limited to
specific persons such as members, family, or guests?
(continued on page 5)
(continued from page 4)
• Should organizations having food or li-
quor licenses meet different licensing
criteria than groups without such
licenses? .
• Should one organization eligible for a
gambling license be allowed to
manufacture and sell equipment to
other eligible organizations? Chapter
507 does not expressly grant local
governments the authority to regulate
the manufacture or sale of gambling
devices. However, in granting local
authorities the power to establish their
own licensing system, the legislature did
not preclude cities and counties from
prohibiting organizations from selling
and manufacturing equipment as part
of their licensing schemes.
CONCLUSION
Chapter 507 is an ambitious legislative
attempt to open the door to limited gambl-
ing activities within the state while preserv-
ing a local option to restrict or disallow
such activities altogether. The act not only
has clarified ambiguities found in past
gambling laws but also has carefully
defined activities endorsed under the new
law. However, the flexibility in the state
guidelines challenges local authorities to
provide specific rules that local officials
can readily interpret and enforce.
RECENT OPINIONS
ATTORNEY GENERAL ISSUES OPINIONS
ON LIQUOR AND OTHER TOPICS
Split Liquor Law
May a city with an off -sale liquor dis-
pensary issue a private on -sale liquor
license to a hotel or restaurant pursuant to
Minn. Stat. §340.353, subd. 5, and thereaf-
ter establish a municipal on -sale liquor
dispensary?
Minn. Stat. §340.353, subd. 5, known as
the Minnesota Split Liquor Law, allows
municipalities with off -sale liquor stores to
issue on -sale liquor licenses to private per-
sons in connection with the operation of
hotels and restaurants. After such issuance
of a private on -sale license, according to
the statute, the municipality may continue
its own on -sale or off -sale or both, or may
resume any municipal on -sale or off -sale
store previously discontinued. The statute
does not specifically provide for the es-
tablishment of a municipal on -sale facility
foi the first time after issuance of a private
on -sale license.
While section 340.353 does not expressly
authorize a city to establish an on -sale
municipal liquor store after issuing licenses
to private enterprises, there is no provision
which limits the city's power to do so.
There is also no apparent legislative intent
or policy consideration that would dis-
allow the city from establishing an on- or
off -sale municipal liquor dispensary under
Section 340.353 after issuance of a private
license even though a municipal facility
had not been established previously.
The opinion is Op. Atty. Gen. 218g -20,
April 24, 1978.
Conflict of Interest
May a business that is not licensed or
authorized off -sale retail liquor dealer
engage in the business of taking orders for,
securing, and delivering intoxicating liquor
to its customers?
Minn Stat. §340.11, subd. I provides that
it is "unlawful for any person, directly or
indirectly ... to manufacture, import, sell,
exchange, barter., dispose of, or keep for
sale any intoxicating liquor without first
having obtained a license therefore. ".
Minn. Reg. Liq. 57 prohibits the sale of
alcoholic beverages except on licensed
premises, and Minn. Reg. Liq. 58 requires
that the delivery of intoxicating liquors to
the residence of purchasers be done by
licensed or authorized off -sale liquor°
dealers.
J
-5-
These provisions are designed to assure
that the entire transaction of a retail liquor
sale, from the receipt of the order to the
delivery to the customer, will take place
with and under the control of a retail li-
quor licensee. If a business delivering li-
quor would not be acting simply as a
delivery agent for a licensed establishment
or as an occasional messenger for
purchasers, but would actively solicit and
transfer liquor orders, its delivery activities
would not be authorized.
The lopinion is Op. Atty. Gen. 218g -5,
June 5, 1978.
Delivering Liquor
If a member of a volunteer fire depart-
ment in a home rule city is elected to the
city council and the city council determines
the compensation that the volunteers
receive, is there a prohibited conflict of
interest?
Minn. Stat. §471.87 prohibits a public
officer from having a financial interest in
or personally benefitting from contracts he
helped make in his official capacity. Minn.
Stat. §471.88 subd. 6 excepts from this
general rule contracts a council enters by
unanimous vote with a volunteer fire
department which pays or provides retire-
ment benefits for its members.
In a former opinion, Op. Atty. Gen. 90-
a -I, March 30, 1961, the Attorney General
said section 471.87 does not prohibit a
council member from having interest in or
benefitting from a contract made by the
council before he became a member of the
council. However, the statute could
operate to prohibit the renewal, extension,
or modification of such a contract while
the person is a member of the council. This
type of action would subject the member to
the prohibition of section 471.87 unless un-
animously approved by the council as
provided for in section 471.88 subd. 6.
The opinion is Op. Atty. Gen. 90-e,
April 17, 1978.
Hospital Detachment
Does a governmental unit included in a
hospital district have an absolute right to
be detached from the district upon
petitioning the hospital district board? If
no such right exists, what procedure should
be followed concerning a petition for
detachment and what criteria should be
considered in determining whether to grant
it?
