EDINA PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
December 29, 1976
LD -76 -15 and LD -76 -16 Interlachen Investments Inc. Lots 1 and 2, Block 1,
Edenmoor. Generally located at 5244 Eden Circle.
Refer to: area map and deeds.
The proponents are requesting to divide the southern six feet off of two lots
and add it to two lots directly to the south (as shown on the attached
drawing). There are almost always problems with this kind of division, and
at the staff level we have continuously attempted to avoid such problems.
The difficulty arises when the proponents want to divide a lot into a
majority of a lot and a small slice (such as the south six feet) . That
south six feet is now a legally identifiable tract of land, may 'or may not
be buildable as a separate tract of land, and the taxes are paid separately
for that tract of land. This is obviously not the stated intent of the
applicants, and it is certainly not the city's desire, therefore, the staff
always. requires that the applications join the sliver of land with another
lot so that the result is two buildable, taxable parcels.
in this case the proponents filed deeds in 1966-for the south six feet of the
subject tracts of land. Because this division was not approved by the City,
the taxes were never split for the parcel and the original property owner
continued to pay all of the taxes on the site, including the south six feet.
-Although it is the staff's opinion that this is a reasonable request for a
division, it is our 'recommendation that new deeds be drawn up identifying the
southern parcel as the south six feet of -'lot 1, and the entire lot lying south
of lot 1. A similar requirement should be made for lot .2. .
Recommendation: Approval of the proposed lot divisions subject to a modifica-
tion of the request and deeds so that no slivers of property are created but,
rather, fully developable sites.

EDINA PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
February 2, 1977
Lot Division City of Edina. Lots 4, 5, and 6, Block l., Lake Edina
.LD -76 -18 Village Replat. Generally located east of Highway 100,
north of W.-77th Street and south of Lake Edina.
Refer to: Attached proposed lot division graphic.
The Planning Commission may recall that the City of Edina subdivided this
property approximately a year ago for sale for single family homes. Some-
how, a watermain was not identified either as an easement or as an existing
utility on the southernmost single family lot. After preparing these lots
for sale, the error was caught and it was felt that although lot 6.was
buildable, even with the watermain running through it, the lots immediately to
the north were slightly oversized and some adjustment to those lot sizes would not
be deleterious and would improve t,.e buildability of lot 6.
Recommendation: The staff would recommend approval of the proposed lot
division for the following reasons:
1. The size reduction of lots 4 and 5 is minor.
2. The additional land added to Lot 6 will improve its usability.

TO: City Manager and City Council
FROM: Director of Public Works and City Engineer
SUBJECT: Justification for projects suggested in my 12/3/76
memo. (copy attached)
The December 3 memo was intended more to get your feelings as to
whether the projects should or should not be proposed than it was
an indication that your Engineering Department feels they are
essential to the continued orderly development of the City.
Bituminous Overlay of Existing Concrete
All of these streets have, in varying amounts, areas of
concrete spalling, cracking and settlement. Correction
of these problems by removal and replacement of the con-
crete is now costing in the vicinity of $20.00 per square
and Per approximately
el.- ,— d. Additional benefits
are in quality of ride and noise reduction. A possible
� disadvantage could be a possible increase n vehicle
speeds.
State Aid Street Widening and New or Replacement Curb and Gutter
None of these projects are essential or tratric capacity
reasons. Our standard 36' wide State Aid construction
section would not add any lanes to the existing capacity.
The streets-on the list are deteriorating rather badly and
should be rebuilt to avoid excessive maintenance costs.
If MSA money is to be used in the rebuilding, they must be
built to State Aid standards.
Sidewalks
Po icy in recent years has been to construct sidewalk on
MSA routes when the road is rebuilt to MSA standards. The
proposals would continue that policy. The sidewalk pro-
posed for the east and west frontage roads of T.H. 100
between 50th Street and Valley View has been included in
the "expanded right -of -way" concept for T.H. 100 for about
ten (10) years.

l
SUBJECT: City of Edina Rehabilitation Loan Program Guidelines
Attached please find a slightly revised copy of the Deferred Payment
Loan Program guidelines, and a revised certification form which we
have used in the past for the grant /loan program. Also attached is a
Repayment Agreement, which was drafted by Lynnae Nye and Tom Erickson.
The staff has incorporated the Council's concerns regarding repayment
of the loans into the Repayment Agreement and certification of
eligibility forms.
In further assessing the program and continued discussions with the
Minnesota Housing Finance Agency and other persons involved, we have
reduced the maximum loan to $1,500, which we understand is a reasonable
maximum amount which would be necessary to adequately insulate a
home and improve plumbing and electrical systems to meet code.

SUBJECT: -Modification of Guidelines for the Home Improvement Loan
Program
As I have discussed with you and the City Council earlier, our Home Improve-
ment Program in Morningside has been a very successful program with one
exception. That exception is that we have primarily been funding persons
or families with an income of $12,000 to $16,000. Our census information
and discussions with the neighborhood associations indicate that there are
a number of people with lower incomes,or a lot of children, who simply
cannot afford a low- interest loan, even if it is accompanied by a 20 percent
gift.
Staff is therefore suggesting a change in that program adjusting the per-
centage of the grant to up to a 100 percent grant for a maximum of $2,000.
We do, however, feel it is important to protect ourselves from immediate
resales, and we have, therefore, included the stipulation that the money
would have to be paid back (without interest) if the home is sold within
seven years.
I am attaching a sample of a flier which would be sent to everyone in the
three neighborhoods that HUD has approved. Those neighborhoods include
Morningside, east of France, and north of Maloney. First Edina National
Bank has received their funding commitment from the State so we are prepared
to begin this program in the very near future subject to your approval.

TO: Mayors, Managers and,Clerks in Member Cities DATE: January 25, 1977
(Please call to the attention of the council)
The League and the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities are joining forces
for a mid - session Legislative Conference this year, and we urge every member city
to send at least one representative to the conference and reception for legisla-
tors on Tuesday, February 22.
The afternoon briefing session, beginning at 1:30 p.m., will cover legislative
issues that are at that time at a crucial stage of the legislative process.
While the actual agenda will depend somewhat on legislative developments before
February 22, it appears at this time that they may include Dutch Elm control fi-
nancing, unemployment compensation, and local government aids and levy limits.
From 5:00 until 7:30 p.m., the LMC and AMM are inviting all legislators to be our
guests for cocktails, coffee and hors d'oeuvres. This is our opportunity to make
face -to -face contact with local legislators and as such it is a very important
part of our lobbying effort. The reception is informally on the agenda of both
the majority and minority caucuses in the House and Senate and to date there are
no conflicts, so we anticipate a very good turnout.
We urge you to be there to contact your legislator personally.
The conference this year will be held at the Permanent Collection Gallery of the
Minnesota Museum of Art. The address is Kellogg Boulevard and St. Peter Streets,
St.. Paul mm across from the St. Paul City Hall. THIS IS A NEW SITE a® IT IS NOT
THE PLACE WE WERE TWO YEARS AGO mm so we have enclosed a map on the reverse o7`
this letter. There is moderate -cost parking nearby at the St. Paul Civic Center.
Ramp (also shown on the map).
The conference fee for city officials is $10 for any portion of the meeting. The
fee is payable with the enclosed registration or at the meeting.

STATEMENT OF POLICY:
911 TELEPHONE SYSTEM FINANCING
INTRODUCTION
The 911 telephone system is an emergency response system whereby it is pos-
sible for a person anywbeFe- �R -tke- state- a €- M�nReseta to dial 911 and be
connected directly to a public safety answering center which serves the
area from which he is calling and which ha's the .ability to either directly
dispatch the appropriate public safety service, er -eaR extend the call,
or directly relay the request to the appropriate responding agency.
The 911 telephone system for the metropolitan seven - county area has'been
developed through a planning process that included a 911 planning group
from each county. These groups individually developed, with the assistance
of a consultant, an operational plan for each county. These county oper-
ational plans were translated into technical specifications for a 911
telephone system for the seven- county area by the consultant.
R- RRdst -be- meted -that The consultant combined the seven separate county
plans in such a way as to reach an optimum design fcr the entire area which
should provide the - greatest service at the lowest cost. to- thls -afea:

ASSUMPTIONS
1. A 911 telephone system will be mandated for'the* state.
2. Eventually, 911 will be used throughout the state as the number to
call to obtain emergency assistance.

Capital costs for the equipment necessary to implement the 911 system
will be paid for with state and /or federal assistance.
- 2 -
4. Although 4eeal-wR4ts-ef county and.municipal governments may be will-
ing and able to finance certain local recurring costs associated with
this service, the financing capability of local government is extremely
limited and state financial assistance will be sought to support cer-
tain telephone system network costs.
5. It is likely that local units of government and telephone subscribers
will experience some increased costs for telephone service with the
implementation of 911.
FACTS BEARING ON THE ISSUE
1. The geographical boundaries of the various political subdivisions in
the metropolitan area do not correspond with the telephone exchange
boundaries. -
2. A great number of these political entities have their own public safety
agencies which require immediate notification of requests for service.
3. Because these communities are contiguous, it is possible that a person
needing emergency assistance may not know which community he is in or
which public safety agency should be called to obtain service.
4. It is necessary to provide a telephone system whereby a call to request
service will automatically be routed to the proper public safety an-
swering point that can either provide the service requested or, as in
the case of ambulance service in Hennepin County, extend the call to
the appropriate agency without requiring a caller to re -dial.
5. Telephone companies operating in the state of Minnesota do not pay a
local property tax. Instead, they pay a gross earnings tax to the
state of Minnesota.
DISCUSSION
The 911 configuration that has been recommended is an optimum design for
the metropolitan area. The- areaw4de -plap- was- aeepted It is recommended
because through the sharing of common elements the overall cost is lower
and the system will serve the needs of the entire metropolitan area equally.
The complexities of this areawide system make it virtually impossible to
allocate a fair share of the costs to each public safety answering point.
For example, it is not possible to equitably determine who benefits from
a particular trunking arrangement,, or a trunking arrangement may be recom-
mended which dictates additional telephone lines being routed to a partic-
ular public safety answering point, which in turn, however, produces a
greater reduction in the overall trunking cost for the entire metropolitan
area.
- 3 -
CONCLUSIONS
1. A definition of the basic 911 service to be provided statewide should
be adopted. Such a definition should be expressed in operational
terms rather than technical specifications.
2. The basic level of service for the metropolitan area is by definition,
then, the same as the basic level of service for the rest of the state.
However, the complexity of the system trunking and the sophistication
of the telephone equipment in the metropolitan area are 4s likely to
be greater than out state.
3 It is anticipated that as the units of government increase in popula-
tion and density, the telephone trunking and equipment needed to de-
liver basic 911 service will increase.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. That "Basic 911 Service for the state of Minnesota is defined as: An
emergency response system whereby it is possible for a person anywhere
in the state of Minnesota to dial 911 and be connected directly to a
public safety answering center which serves the area from -which he-is.

propriate public safety service, er -ean. extend the call or directly

EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
POLICY AND,-PROCEDURE STATEMENT
CITY OF EDINA
1. STATEMENT.OF POLICY FOR THE EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
The City of.Edina recognizes that a wide -range of problems, not directly
associated with the employee's job duties can have an affect on one's job
performance. In most cases, the employee will overcome such personal problems
independently and only negligible affects on job performance will occur. In
other cases, normal supervisory assistance, counseling, or discipline will
serve either as motivation or guidance to resolve such - problems so that an
employee's job performance will return to an 'acceptable .level. In some in-
stances, however., neither efforts and resources of the employee nor the
guidance.by the supery isor has the desired affect of resolving the employee's
problems and unsatisfactory job performance may persist over a period of time,
either on a constant or intermittent basis.
The "City of Edina believes it is in the best interest of the employee,.the
employee's family and.the City to provide an employee service which deals with
such persistent problems. Therefore, it is the policy of the City of Edina to
handle-such employee problems within the following framework:
a) The City of Edina recognizes that most human problems can be success -
fully treated provided that they are identified in the early stages
and referral is made to the appropriate type of care. This concept
applies whether the problem.:be one:of. physical. illness, mental or
emotional illness, finances, marital /family distress, alcoholism,
drug - abuse, legal, or various other concerns.
b) When an employee's job performance or attendance is unsatisfactory,
And the employee is unable or unwilling to correct :the situation,
either alone or with - normal supervisory assistance _this is an indica-
tion that there may be some cause outside the job environment which
is -the basis for the problem.
c) The purpose of this policy is to assure the employee that if such.
personal problems are the cause of unsatisfactory job performance,
that they.will receive careful consideration and an offer of assistance
to help resolve such problems in an effective and confidential manner.
d) Employees are assured that their job, future, and reputation will NOT
be jeopardized by utilizing this employee service.
e) Employees who have a personal problem which they.feel may affect work
performance are encouraged to voluntarily contact the designated City
resource and referral service.
f) Employees referred to the program by their supervisors may be required
by the City to.secure adequate medical, rehabilitative counseling, or
other services as may be necessary to resolve the problem.. Employees
referred to the designated counseling and referral resource are expected
to comply to the referral, cooperate and follow the recommendation of
the counseling agent. If the employee refuses the offer of help and
job performance or attendance problems continue, the normal disciplinary
procedures will apply.
-1-
0
g) In cases where it is necessary, employees will be granted sick leave,
vacation, or leave of absence for time for treatment or rehabilitation
on the :same basis as it is.granted for ordinary.health or disability
- problems.
h).' Since an employee's job performance can be affected by the problems of
the employee's family, the program is available;- :to_family.members as
well, either at the employee's expense -or within the provisions of the
medical insurance offered by the City,
i) Employee problems that cause unsatisfactory job performance will be
handled in an objective manner, within the established personnel
ordinance and administrative procedures, with all records and written,
oral, communications preserved in the highest degree of confidentiality.
2. STATEMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR IMPLEMENTATION
Implementation of the.Policy reflects the concern of the City of Edina for its
employees who may be having problems, whether it be alcohol, drugs, financial,
legal, marital, physical, emotional or others. It is.our desire to help resolve
such problems. The success of this .program can only be measured by the coopera-
tive efforts of labor unions, employees, and management to resolve these problems
in a fair and equiptable manner. Essentially the.employee assistance program
policy consists of four phases as follows:
a) Identification by the supervisor or the employee of a continuous job
performance problem.
b) Referral by the supervisor or self - referral of the troubled employee
to the resource agency which is professionally competent to diagnose
problems.
c) Diagnosis of the problem and referral by the resource agency.of the
employee to the proper treatment service.
d) Internal and /or external counseling and follow -up, and treatment as
needed to resolve the problem. The procedure for implementing the
policy is as follows:
1) When an employee's job performance or attendance is unsatisfactory
it will be called to his /her attention by the regular procedures
used by the supervisor.
2) In cases of union members, the union steward will act on a coop -
erative.basis with the supervisor. If the steward wishes to refer
a union member to the external resource- agency, 'such a referral
.will be treated exactly the same as supervisory referrals.
3) If low.job performance or attendance problems continue, the super-
visor will discuss the problem privately with employee. ..
-2-
4) Supervisors and union stewards will not attempt to ascertain
causes for job performance problems. If it appears that the
employee cannot or will not improve his /her performance or
attendance,.the employee will be referred by the supervisor to
the outside resource agency professionally trained to diagnose
problems and secure help.
5) The diagnostic and referral resource agency will refer the em-
ployee to an appropriate.community resource capable of handling
the problem.
6) If the employee accepts the offer of help and the job performance
or attendance problems improve to a.satisfactory level, no further
action will be taken.
7) The Employee Assistance Program is not intended to substitute for
normal disciplinary procedures. In cases where job performance
or attendance is due to some problem of deficiency not related to
the Employee Assistance Program.or in cases where an employee
refuses help or accepts help and the problem continues the regular
disciplinary procedures apply.

INTRODUCTION
Recent studies cite alarming statistics on the economic loss due to
employees who have personal problems severe enough to affect work performance.
Special programs are now underway to provide appropriate help for those employees
whose behavioral /medical problems adversely affect their -job performance. The
Edina Employee Assistance Program is one of these programs.
THE EDINA EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
By means of a special state grant through Hennepin County, the City of
Edina has initiated the Employee Assistance Program. This program offers
referral services to Edina employees who are in need of some type of pro-
fessional assistance.in solving persistent personal problems. Many times
competent employees suffer from problems that begin to affect job performance.
Often these problems are.transitory.-and do not pose a continuing problem. How-
ever, not infrequently the troublesome area persists, resulting in deterioration of
job performance. This program provides an additional means of helping Edina
employees function in a maximally effective way.
HOW TO USE THE EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The Edina Employee Assistance Program can be used in two ways.
Self Referral - Employees whose job performance may not yet be impaired
but who recognize a need for some type of assistance may seek the services of
the EAP. Many people recognize early.a need for professional assistance in
solving some problem that may later, if not resolved, develop into more serious
difficulty with resulting loss in job productivity. In these cases, employees
simply make an appointment themselves with a member of the EAP staff from the
Metropolitan Clinic of Counseling. Self referrals are an important part of employee
assistance programs because they demonstrate that earlier intervention into a
problem area frequently results in quicker and more successful recovery from the
problem.
Supervisory Referral - When an employee has shown deteriorating job per-
formance, the supervisor may refer that person to the EAP. The main element in
this type of referral is, of course, the supervisor. The success of employee
assistance programs is that supervisors never have to take the responsibility of
diagnosing the underlying problem or.involve themselves in the problem itself.
The supervisor evaluates the thing he /she knows best - job performance.
-1-
Once the employee is referred to the program an EAP professional staff
member and the employee together try to determine the problem area that may
be responsible for interfering with that employee's effective work performance.
When this troublesome area is identified, the EAP staff member will refer that
employee to an appropriate professional treatment source.
The same service is available to spouses and dependents of Edina city
employees.
WHEN TO USE THE EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Any kind of ,problem that is serious enough to adversely affect an employee's
job performance or family life would warrant the services of the Employee Assistance
Program. Prior experience indicates that these are generally difficulties of a
medical, legal, marital /family, alcohol /drug, vocational, psychological, or .
financial nature. The Employee Assistance Program has been established to provide .
a mechanism for appropriate - referral to treatment for the entire range of behavioral/
medical problems.
The- EAP.is available to employees or dependents whenever they have need for
the services offered. Whether the referrals are initiated by supervisors or by
employees themselves, the earlier a problem is confronted the more likely the
chance for satisfactory results..
SUMMARY
Employee Assistance Programs have developed as a result of concerns about
loss of manpower and productivity and because of the fundamental belief in the
responsibility all of us have to help one another. These company based programs
cite high recovery rates because people show a strong motivation toward accepting
help when it may affect their employment status. It is one goal of this program to
demonstrate that impaired job performance often can be reversed and valuable
personnel retained after proper referral and treatment.
The City of Edina takes pride in the fact that we are among the first cities
to initiate an Employee Assistance Program. With the - cooperation of all employees,
this program can work to benefit the entire city.

PREFACE
There is no greater waste of natural energy than the
waste of human resources. Since history began, civilized
man has sought to identify and treat the mass of disorders
that afflict human endeavor and tried to restore some
measure of real potential of man's time and talent.
It is the purpose of the Edina Employee Assistance
Program to bring together accumulated knowledge and.experi•
ence in identifying some of the most damaging ills and set
in motion a reasonable course of treatment.
This program is aimed primarily at identifying emo-
tional and behavioral problems which may suggest the
existence of serious underlying causes such as alcoholism,
drug abuse, marital and other domestic strife and their
effect on job performance.
Since our primary concern is one of identification,
supervisors are the key to the success of the program. By
thoughtful application of the - procedures recommended here
you are fulfilling a dual responsibility; helping a fellow
employee find the way to effective treatment, and helping
the city maintain a healthy and productive work force.
Please read this Supervisors' Guide carefully. If yo
have questions, please call Personnel without delay. A
thorough understanding of our objectives is absolutely
essential to the proper implementation of the Employee
Assistance Program. Without this understanding, not only
will your effectiveness as a supervisor be diminished, but
you may also unwittingly contribute 'to the very problem we
are attempting to solve.
1
INTRODUCTION
One of the most expensive things the city can do is
terminate an employee. Not only is it costly to the city
and the employee involved, but it is also hard on the
supervisor. In the past a supervisor has had three courses
of action to take against unsatisfactory performance; they-:
could ignore the situation in the hope'that it would
improve, threaten the offender with disciplinary action,
or terminate.
Now there is another, more constructive method of
dealing with substandard performance: The Employee
Assistance Program for troubled employees.
We consider this program an employee benefit program
in that the service works.best when the employee seeks
help on his own initiative. So, while it is a very
effective management tool for restoring an employee to
full productive capacity, it is nevertheless a means to
help an employee find his own solutions to personal
problems, with or without the knowledge of the city or
his fellow workers.
Employees needing assistance will be identified in
two ways only: 1) The.employee seeks help on his own, or
2) The employee's job performance is deteriorating,
thereby putting his job in jeopardy. The supervisor's
duties therefore, are essentially unchanged. He is to
see that every employee under his supervision is perform-
ing satisfactorily and efficiently in accordance with
city policy.
What the program provides is-an avenue of hope and
rehabilitation for our valued employees who have not been
performing up to expectations. We realize that human beings
are subject to personal pressures which may affect their
job performance. Rather than terminate an employee
immediately, this Program offers an employee a chance to
work out problems before termination becomes necessary.
N
Do not mistake this concern for soft paternalism; we
are exercising the business of "enlightened self- interest."
The city can succeed only as far as its individual em-
ployees can succeed. A personal problem can soon become
a city problem.. We are attempting to avoid the city
problem.
Our program is family oriented. We are concerned with '
the whole employee and his contributio n.to the city's
success. If an employee's son or daughter, for example,
is a.drug user, that problem will sooner or later affect
productivity. Thus, it is within the scope'of this
program to counsel with employees and members of em-
ployees' families where such counseling would likely
prove ultimately beneficial to business.
PERSONAL PROBLEMS
You, as a supervisor, must be aware of the kinds of
problems that maybe facing your employees. Financial
difficulties, for example, are a major cause of frustra-
tion, anxiety and worry. :Perhaps the employee is :unable
to stickto.a.reasonable budget. Maybe unexpected hospital
or other expenses have forced him to go into debt. Lack
of money can.be the root of tremendous inner turmoil and
this, perhaps more than any other problem, can seem endless
and insurmountable at the time.
Another common problem is marital strife. Friction at
home or-a feeling of emptiness in a once fulfilling
marriage can weigh heavily on job performance. Marital
problems, like financial problems, may affect the em-
ployee's future. What the future really holds, in fact,
is far less significant than what the employee thinks will
happen. If he sees an insecure or troubled future his
present actions and production cannot help but be affected.
3-
Aging parents - what to do ,about a widowed or senile
parent.- can also be a problem. It can cause..not only hus-
band and wife conflict, but also immense guilt feelings
where sending a loved one to a nursing home is involved.
Alcoholism and drug abuse can no longer be ignored as
major problems affecting job performance. The most impor-
tant point to remember about alcoholism and durg abuse is
that they are progressive illnesses. They are treatable.
They are often fatal if not treated. These illnesses, un-
fortunately, carry an intense social stigma - a fear of
being "found out ".
It is an important goal of our program, therefore, to
gradually eliminate the social disgrace associated with
alcoholism and drug abuse from the customs, attitudes and
policies of the city and thereby eliminate the barriers of
constructive corrective action.
Experience with this kind of problem throughout America
suggests that two methods, used together, frequently offset
the fear of social disgrace; pressure to seek treatment,
and assurance that the acceptance of treatment will not
result in job loss.
The problems highlighted above are the most common,
but not the only problems that can affect job performance,
personal tragedy, damily illness or a myriad of other -
problems can be what is causing sub - standard.performance
from your employee.
As long as you are aware of the existence of these
problems and the impact they can have on an employee, it
is not important that you know the specific problem
troubling a certain employee. In fact, you can do your
job as a supervisor much better if you do not know.
Your only concern is unsatisfactory job performance.
If an employee tells you he has
4
not been performing up to par because of financial
difficulties, for example, your reply should be, "As far
as I am concerned you have one problem.- deteriorating job
performance. If this is caused by a personal problem, we
can help." This starts the program in motion. If removes
pressure from you as a supervisor to solve personal
problems and eliminates misguided feelings of sympathy on
your part that could lead to a critical-delay in treatment.
The city has a legitimate tool in the hands of its
supervisors;.a realistic and uniformly firm utilization of
`existing disciplinary procedures. Early recognition of the
troubled employee is absolutely essential. Deterioration
of job performance; therefore, must be.carefully and
thoroughly documented so that we pinpoint a developing
employee problem before discipline becomes necessary.
Personal problems can be characterized by depression,
daydreaming, nervousness, moodiness, inability to get along
with fellow workers or simply by inefficient performance.
THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING IS NOW
AVAILABLE TO HELP THE EMPLOYEE THROUGH HIS TRAUMA AND TO
REHABILITATE HIM TO A POTENT FORCE.
PROCEDURES
You must be alert to changes in the work and be-
havior patterns of all personnel under your supervision.
This.is best accomplished by normal observation rather
than prying.
Be sure to carefully document all specific instances
where an employees work or behavior fails to meet estab-
lished standards, or where his individual pattern of per-
formance seems to be deteriorating. Be specific about
the date, time, place and nature of the incident.
5
Next, conduct a corrective interview with the
employee when his documented record of unsatisfactory
performance is warranted under existing procedures.
At the end of the interview, you should inform the
employee that the city offers confidential counseling-:and.`,;'
diagnostic services to assist him in case his poor perform-
ance is caused by any personal.problem. Assure, the .employee
that his admission that a personal problem is "getting him
down" will not jeopardize his job; on the other hand, if his
performance'is unsatisfactory and he refuses to seek help,
then his job may very well be in danger.
The employee desiring assistance should then be sent
to the Metropolitan.Clinic of Counseling who is designated
as the diagnostic and referral.vendor. 'They will refer him
to a source of professional assistance based on the nature
of the problems as determined by Metropolitan Clinic of
Counseling and the employee.
It is absolutely essential that.you scrupulously avoid
naming a diagnosis or telling the employee you suspect °he -J11
is an alcoholic,'drug user, or that his marriage is on the
rocks.
Should the employee refuse help and his work continues
to be unsatisfactory, he must be given a firm choice between
accepting city assistance through professional counseling or
accepting whatever existing procedures follow for all cases
of unsatisfactory job performance, regardless of the cause..
If an employee refuses help, your next step is to
arrange a plan of action and make a decision on what
disciplinary steps to take regarding the employee who
refused to accept assistance. Initiation and conduct of
these discussions are your responsibility..
L•'
Remember, any deviation from a firm and consistent ad-
ministration of these procedures because of misguided feelings
of sympathy or other reasons will lead to a delay in needed
treatment and is an extreme risk to the employee's health
and ultimate recovery and solving the problem.
An employee will rarely accept treatment unless the con-
sequences of NOT accepting treatment create an alternative
which is more intolerable to him than his fear of the results
of exposure. And remember, too, that what seems to be a
minor problem to you may seem catastrophic to someone else.
These procedures are intended to help you administer an
admittedly delicate situation. They are designed'to accom-
plish three objectives:
1. Elimination of the necessity of getting involved in
embarrassing discussions about personal problems.
2. Restriction of all disciplinary action to its
legitimate function of corrective action for un-
satisfactory performance, and not for having an
illness or personal problem.
3. Elimination of grievances based on disciplinary
action taken in connection with an illness or
personal problem.
Once again, these are the, "symptoms" affecting job
.performance that may indicate an illness.or personal problem:
1. Excessive absenteeism, especially Mondays, Fridays
and days before and after holidays.
2. Unexcused absences.
3. Wage attachments or other involvements with the law.
4. Altercations with fellow employees.
5. Deteriorating personal appearance.
6. Prolonged lunch hours.
7
7. Frequent disappearances at coffee breaks with
obvious after - effects.
8. Poorer judgment.
9. Increased spoilage.
10. Moodiness or depression.
11. Increasing customer complaints and "unusual"
problems with vendors.
12. Tardiness and early departures, etc.
Everyone, of course, has an "off" day. The fact that
John Doe is in a grumpy mood one day is not sufficient rea-
son to document his every movement. And remember, too,
that not everyone is an extrovert; don't mistake shyness
for depression or brooding. Your concern is only with
infractions of city policies. Don't let your personal
feelings or your suspicions of alcoholism, drug use or
domestic problems interfere with good supervisory practice.
Above all, DON'T diagnose the problem yourself.
Don't discuss drinking or drug abuse unless.it occurs
on the job or the.employee reports to work obviously drunk
or under the influence of drugs.
Never moralize, either. Keep your criticism of the
employee to his job performance and attendance.
Also, don't be misled by synpathy- evoking tactics. of
the employee. Alcoholics and drug users are experts at this.
And don't ever "cover up" for a friend. This misguided
"kindness" can lead to a serious delay in getting to real
help.
We have been talking about problems that almost always
get worse and rarely get better without professional help.
Make your employee realize that the city has a program to
help and that he will be treated...with the utmost respect_
and dignity. Explain that his consultation is completely
confidential and will not be reported on his job record.
8
Perhaps the most important phase of this program is
to convince the troubled".employee of the importancel of
seeking and the availability of assistance.
SUMMARY
The city has a genuine interest in its employees.
We believe the city's strength lies in its people. We
are also concerned about the employee's job performance.
It is, ultimately, how well each employee does his job
that will determine the scope of our success.
The purpose of the Edina Employee Assistance Program
is to help employees deal with their personal problems
before it becomes necessary to take strong disciplinary
action.
. Where an employee sincerely seeks assistance, the
city will stand ready to help - to help with understanding
and caring.
This program is a formal attempt to deal with
problems that have been with us a long time. We are not
embarking on a social "crusade ". We hope to identify
those employees who are doing poorly because they are
unable to find solutions to their problems. We sincerely
hope that troubled employees will seek help and guidance
even before supervision is aware of personal problems
or pressures.
It is our intention that this program will provide
the means through which troubled employees can be en-
couraged to continue to lead lives useful to themselves
and to the city.

February 9, Wednesday, 10 AM
Conference Room
At the above time and place Mr. Paul Barnett of Hazelden Foundation
will be here to explain to, all of us the Employee Assistance Program
which was authorized by the Legislature in 1976. This program is
designed to "provide services to employers to develop personnel
practices for prevention of chemical dependencies and to assist affected
employees in gaining access to care through identification and referral
services."
The services of Hazelden are provided through a grant to Hennepin County
and if any of our people do need additional counseling it will be
available through our new arrangements with the Bloomington Health
Department_.
Mr. Barnett will explain the program in detail and more particularly
will give us some valuable information on how to recognize personal
problems of employees.
Attached is a Statement of Policy and a Supervisor's Guide in relation
to this program. Your attendance is encouraged but not mandatory.

FROM: Greg Luce
RE: AMM Legislative Proposals
The Planning staff has studied the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities'
Policies and Legislative Proposals 1977 -78. It is our recommendation that
we strongly support the proposals regarding Metropolitan Council Programs
and Activities. We should support other planning related proposals but
question AMM's recommendation regarding Metropolitan Council Geographic Jur-
isdiction.
We should suggest AMM encourage the State to require more community input
and a better explanation of Grant Review Criteria. This is especially true
of Park and Recreation reviews.

FROM: Robert C. Dunn, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Morningside Area Water Rates
1. We are presently charging Morningside Area customers 32�. per
100 cubic feet for water.
2. Previous to this quarter, we were paying Minneapolis 40t per
100 cubic feet for that water.
3. Beginning with this quarter, we will be paying Minneapolis
450, per 100 cubic feet for water with an additional 5o
increase authorized for 1978.
4. Mechanical problems with Minneapolis meters have until now
allowed us to sell more water in Morningside than we have
paid Minneapolis for (in 1974 we paid Minneapolis $17,755.20
for 4,438,800 cubic feet and billed Morningside customers
$23,168.24 for 7,560,800 cubic feet).
5. Within six months new and accurate meters will be installed
as part of the first phase of the Morningside water system
replacement project and we will be paying Minneapolis for
more water than we sell (a certain amount is always
unaccounted for).
6. Morningside area residents have been told that an adjustment
in their rates will have to be made.
7. I recommend an increase, effective with the bills to be sent
out on or about May 1, 1977, in the water rates charged
Morningside area customers to lOG more per 100 cubic feet
than we pay Minneapolis. For 1977, that would be 55G and for
1978, 60(,%.

The City of Minneapolis Council late in December 1976 passed a water
rate increase to become effective with the water consumed after Janu-
ary 1, 1977 and January 1, 1978. The rate change was a two step modi-
fication of the existing rates and changed the rate in the City of Minne-
apolis from 350 per hundred cubic feet to 400 per 100 cubic feet starting
In January 1977 and from 400 per hundred cubic feet to 450 per hundred
cubic feet starting In January 1978. In the case of Edina, the rate
Is established by ordinance as for a community served by a master
meter; the rate shall be 450 beginning January 1, 1977 and 500 start-
ing January I, 1978.
We regret the necessity of increasing the rate but cost increases since
the last rate increase in January 1973 have been very large and we are
no longer able to absorb these increases with our available reserves.
For example, electricity which is a significant amount of our budget
Increased 118 per cent over the period since our last rate increase.
Natural gas has also increased during that same period 158 per cent.

LD -77 -3 Gregor Investment Association. Lots 25 and 26, Morningside.
Lot Division Generally located at the southeast corner of W. 42nd Street
and Scott Terrace.
Refer to: Attached drawing showing proposed division.
This proposed lot division is immediately across Scott Terrace from the lot
division which was just examined by the Planning Commission (LD- 77 -2). The
proponents are requesting to combine the remaining portion of Let 26 with
Lot 25 and to divide the lots in a north /south direction so that they face
West 42nd Street. Presently this property is vacant.
Recommendation: The staff would recommend approval of the proposed division,
as the end result would be consistent with other lots in the area and would
eliminate Lot 26, which is presently an unbuildable lot.

2 -2 -77 Planning Commission Minutes, page 4
the present requests for subdivision and rezoning represent a minor modification
of that earlier proposal. After further study, the developers determined that extend-
ing Bror Road would have caused considerable environmental and aesthetic damage and
the cost of building the road extension and cul -de -sac to public street standards
would have been extremely high. As a result, a similar four -lot plat is now requested;
Bror Road, however, would be a narrower, private road which would be maintained by
owners of property in the proposed subdivision. The rezoning from R -1 to PRD -1 is
required to allow the construction of the private road and to avoid the possible
creation of two rear "neck lots ".
Mr. Luce recommended the proposed rezoning and subdivision be approved for the
following reasons:l.The proposed subdivision is consistent with an earlier approved
subdivision, which is consistent with the Southwest Edina Plan and contained lot
sizes similar to those in the neighborhood; and 2. the rezoning offers a tool which
can be used to preserve to a greater extent the natural topography and vegetation
without making any significant adverse changes to the neighborhood.
Approval should be contingent on a parkland dedication fee equal to five percent of
the raw land value at the time of final platting.
Mr. G. Johnson so moved, and Mrs. McDonald seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Motion carried.
4. Lot Division : Elmer Nordquist. Lots 27 and 28, Morningside. Generally
LD -77 -2 located at 4005 W. 42nd Street.
Mr. Luce recalled that lots 27 and 28 were combined when all but 35 feet of
Lot 27 was taken for the construction of W. 42nd Street. The combined lots were
subsequently divided into three single family lots in a north /south direction, and
a house was constructed on the westernmost lot. The proponent is now requesting to
divide the center lot in half; the west half would be added to the lot with the
existing house and the east half would be added to the vacant corner lot directly
east. Two large lots (100' X 135') would result. Approval was recommended.
Mr. Kremer moved the requested lot division and combinations be approved. Mr.
C. Johnson' seconded the motion. All voted aye. Motion carried.
5 Lot Division Gregor Investments Association. Lots 25 and 26, Mbrningside.
LD -77 -3 Generally-located at the southeast corner of W. 42nd Street
and Scott Terrace.
Mr. Luce recalled that all but the south 35 feet of Lot 26 was taken for the
construction of W. 42nd Street. He explained the proponents are now requesting to
combine the remainder of lot 26 with lot 25 and, subsequently, to divide the total
property in half in a north /south direction to create two 100' X 135' single family
lots on W. 42nd Street. Approval was recommended because lot 26 would be eliminated
and two buildable single family lots would be created. Mr. G. Johnson so moved,
and Mrs. McDonald seconded the motion. All voted aye. Motion carried.
6. Lot Division City of Edina. Lots 4, 5, and 6, Block 1, Lake Edina Village
LD -76 -18 Replat. Generally located east of Highway 100, north of
W. 77th Street and south of Lake Edina.
Mr. Luce stated that when the property in question was subdivided by the City
of Edina, a watermain and a sewer easement were not properly identified on the plat.
As a result, the buildability of Lot 6 would be extremely limited. Because lots 4
and 5 are larger than other lots in the subdivision, the City is proposing to

2. The property is almost immediately adjacent to Nine Mile Creek and could
not preserve a reasonable setback from that waterway.
3. Access to the property, even assuming proper easements were acquired, will
be difficult if not impossible and will require greater amounts of fill.
Mr. Frank Cardarelle, the property owner, stated that although there is no
public easement from his property to Valley View Road, there is a private easement
for access. He stated-he wants to retain about 1/2 acre of the outlot for a homesite
and would donate the remaining acreage (about 312 acres) to the City for park purposes.
He noted the proposed house location has been filled, and added he plans to meet with
the watershed district during February.
Mrs. McDonald moved this request be postponed pending receipt of an easement
over the south 40 feet of Outlot 2, Iroquois Hills 4th Addition, and resolution by
the watershed district of the flood plain and fill problems.
Mr. Johnson seconded the motion. All voted aye except Mr. G. Johnson, who
abstaine Motion carried.
0. Rezoning Ebenezer Society. 7500 York Avenue South. PRD -5 Plan
Z -77 -3 Modification.
Mr. Luce recalled the property in question was zoned PRD -5 in 1973 for three
12 -story apartment buildings for the elderly. Ebenezer Society is requesting approval
of a modification of the architectural plans for that development; construction of
one 9 -story building is presently proposed instead of the 12 -story structures
previously planned. He stated the staff has reviewed the proposed plan modification
and recommends approval.
Mr.. Jack Bowersox of Design Through Research, Inc., the architects, presented
elevations and described the pedestrian access, surface and underground parking areas,.
the building exterior, the landscaping, grading, and other plans. He stated the
density, number of parking spaces, unit sizes and the general service concept are
identical to the previous design. The structural design was changed primarily to
meet the needs of the elderly tenants of the building.
Mr. Kremer moved the requested PRD -5 Plan Modification be approved and Mr.
C. Johnson seconded the motion. All voted aye. Motion carried.
11. Flood Plain Edina Public Schools. Edina West Athletic Fields.
Permit FP -5
Mr. Luce referenced the Environmental Quality Commission staff report, which
indicates the school district is requesting permission to fill a portion of the
athletic field which is below the flood plain elevation just north of the Edina West
high school. The environmental and planning staff recommends a flood plain permit
be granted. The following findings have been made: 1. The proposed flood plain
permit is necessary to upgrade the athletic field complex; 2. Adequate flood water
storage volume has been provided on the site; and 3. the proposed encroachment is
in conformance with the Watershed District's policies and regulations.
Approval was recommended with the following r-onditions: 1. All proposed elevations
showing the grading plan must be lowered by .2 feet; 2. All disturbed areas must be
adequately rc- vegetated within three months after construction; and 3. Haybale dikes
or other suitable temporary crosion control measures must be implemented along the
northerly drainage swale to prevent erosion during construction.
After brief discussion, Mr. C. Johnson mmoved the requested flood plain permit

at the extreme southern end.
Recommendation: The staff would recommend approval of the proposed subdivision.

and Dewey Hill Road.
Mr. Luce recalled the property in question was purchased about a year ago
for park purposes. He indicated Outlot B of the proposed plat will be park, and
Outlot A will be a future storm sewer holding pond. Three single family lots are
proposed; two would have access to Tara Road and the third would front on Dewey Hill
Road. Approval was recommended.
Mr. Dunn pointed out a single family home in private ownership on Dewey Hill

that property, but if it has not been acquired by the time of final platting, that
land will be labelled.an exception.

Mr. Luce recommended this matter be continued to the next Planning Commission
agenda inasmuch as the property is located in a highly controversial area and
requisite signs indicating the property is proposed to be subdivided and rezoned
were not erected.
Mr. G. Johnson moved the Wallace Kenneth subdivision and rezoning requests be
continued to the following meeting because signs giving public notice of the requested
actions were not installed as required by ordinance. Mr. C. Johnson seconded the

Mr. Luce stated the owner of th eproperty in question is requesting that this
outlot be declared a buildable lot so that one single family home can be constructed
on the site. Access from Valley View Road is proposed.
Mr. Luce commented that:
1. A deed to the south 40 feet of Outlot 2, Iroquois Hills 4th Addition (the
adjacent parcel) was required and originally submitted when that outlot was declared
a buildable lot in 1973. The deed was, however, returned to the developer for full
signature. Because it has not been returned to be filed at Hennepin County, there is

Re: Metropolitan Waste Control Commission

I enclose a letter from Mr. Hillstrom, together with
the documents forwarded with that letter. I have revised the
quit claim deed prepared by him, to add that the reservation
is for public utility as well as public street purposes. If
the new quit claim deed, with the easement reservations,is
now accurate, I presume you will put this on the Council agenda
and arrange for execution of the deed. Once it is executed, I
suggest you forward it directly to Mr. Hillstrom.

Dear Bob:
I enclose a letter from Mr. Hillstrom, together with
the documents forwarded with that letter. I have revised the
quit claim deed prepared by him, to add that the reservation
is for public utility as well as public street purposes. If
the new quit claim deed, with the easement reservations,is
now accurate, I presume you will put this on the Council agenda
and arrange for execution of the deed. Once it is executed, I
suggest you forward it directly to Mr. Hillstrom.

Dear Mr. Erickson:
Enclosed are the City's deed to the Commission,
conveying the subject meter site, and the resolution
of the City Council authorizing execution of the deed.
These documents are being returned to the City, through
your office, at the request of Mr. Bob Dunn, City Engineer.
Apparently the deed executed December 6 neglected to reserve
the street easements. We did not have a survey of the si'te,
and were unaware that the legal description included portions
of the streets.
Mr. Dunn has advised us that the reserved easements
should be 30 feet wide on the North side of the property
(75th), and 33 feet wide on the East side (Xerxes). The
enclosed revised deed makes the appropriate reservations._
We trust that it will meet with your approval; if so,
please forward it to Mr. Dunn, who has advised us that"
he will arrange for an amended resolution-and execution
of the revised deed.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
Yours ery truly,

Gentlemen:
The Board of Directors of the Edina Chapter of the
A.A.R.B. voted unanimously to have its name added to
the list of clubs, churches and organizations that
would like to have an Edina community center.
Our Chapter had been meeting at the Community Room at
7151 York Avenue South, but had to discontinue because
of the lack of available parking space. There was
also a feeling that we were "intruders" into the pri-
vate domain of those living in that building.
During the past year our meetings were held at the
Statesman's Club of Twin City Federal on 66th Street.
Our attendance became too large for the size of the
room, so we are now meeting at the Hennepin Library
at 79th and York.
Our members have attended meetings at the Creekside
Center in Bloomington and the Community Center in
Richfield, and the feeling is strong that Edina should
also have such a facility. If there is anything our
Chapter can do to help in this project, please let
us know.

and activities:
1. January 12, 1977, the Metropolitan Health Board (MHB) unanimously
passed the following recommendatio n
°It is proposed that this report be forwarded to the Minnesota
Department of Health, that the 1977 Hennepin County Community
Health Services Plan be given a recommendation of approval, and
that such recommendation include a statement congratulatinq
Hennepin County on exceptional organization, coordination,
homogeneity of presentation, and in general a job well done for
the first such effort."
We are pleased to enclose the MHB - analysis and recommendation
report.
2. The Grants Review Committee of the Minnesota Department of
Health (MDH) met on January 26 for.their initial review of the
County -wide Community Health Services Plan. To bring the plan
into full compliance with the Community Health Services Act
and MDH rules and forms and instructions, municipalities and
Hennepin County Government have been requested to provide
supplemental information. It is our understanding that on
February 2 the Grants Review Committee will develop its
recommendation on the plan.
3. The Minnesota State Board of Health (SBH) is scheduled to take
action on the County -wide Community Health Services Plan on
Thursday, February 10. (The SBH approved the St. Louis and
Olmsted County plans for full funding through July 1, 1977,
and through December 31, 1977, contingent upon the availability
of subsidy funds appropriated by the 1977 Minnesota State
Legislature).
We will continue to keep you advised regarding State review and approval actions.

FUNDING PERIOD: 1/1/77 to 12/31/77
The Community Health Services Act was passed by the Minnesota State
Legislature and.signed into law in the spring of 1976. This legisla-
tion was basically intended to do the following things:
s
1. To provide a block of money to be allocated to local government
earmarked for community health services programs to replace many
separate program requests.
29 To provide for a county or multi- county based community health
services system.
39 To eliminate duplicative services to integrate new and existing
programs and to provide funding for new programs, particularly
preventive and health education programs.
4. To reduce the role of the Minnesota Health Department as a direct
service provider and to concentrate. direct. service provision at
the local level.
5. To encourage planning for community health services and the resul-
ting allocation of limited resources to' programs. designed to meet
the highest priority health needs.
•Z
6. To involve the local publics
needs, the priority of health
munity health resources.
/
in the determination of local health
problems, and allocation of com-
7. To provide for an overall local evaluation and assessment of
existing and proposed CHS services and programs in relationship
to identified community needs.
SCOPE-OF REVIEW: This review will concentrate on the CHS criteria and pro-
visional policy statements developed by•the Metropolitan Health Board
and its CHS Task Force and highlight the degree to which the overall
Plan and its various component parts meet the outlined criteria and
policies.
CRITERIA AIM ASSESS.TENT:
Ia Does the Plan include an asses ";ment of health problems? (CHS Policv, 2)
i
i
• Included in the Plan were the results of a health problems
questionnaire developed by Hennepin County OPD and administered to
participants in the CHS Public Forums held at seven different times
• and places. Attendance at these forums ranged from a low of 15 in
Eden Prairie to a high of 90 in Richfield. and Minneapolis. "Generally
professionals from public and private
the audience consisted of health
agencies, public officials, and persons seeking public office." (p. 21)
Opinion questionnaires were completed by 109 of the 370 participants
at the public forums. Because of the limitations on the data, the
results of the questionnaire were used by the committees and task forces
In conjunction with other information. The Plan includes a section on
Health Problems (pp. 54 -78) which documents the nature, extent and
existing, and potential consequences of the health problems throughout
Hennepin County. "Problems identified by the Bloomington Advisory
Board of Health, the Edina Interim Advisory Board of Health, the
Richfield Interim Advisory Board, and the Minneapolis Public Health
Advisory Committee have been integrated into the description of the
•problems .identified by the Hennepin County task forces." (pg 54)
Available major resources were also identified at this stage by the
various boards, committees and task forces. Specific criteria were
formulated for establishing health problem_priorities.— ..____— _
COMNJENT: This component of the Plan seemed to be well organized and approached
in rigorous manner. In most cases the nature and extent of the problem was.
.specified and, with incidence and /or prevalence rates for various health
status conditions or situations well documented.
lb-d Does the plan include: (CHS Policy 5)
b, a clear statement of goals and quantifiable objectives for
each program
c. an evaluation component in each program
d. documented relationships of coordination and cooperation
between among health service and other related human
service programs
All programs contained the following components:
1, title of program and status
2. problems addressed - a description of the scope of the health
-3-
3, objectives
4, methods - who would implement the program and how
5, projected timetable
& ' evaluation component
7. ' budget: total subsidy dollars allocated
COMNENT: Each program did provide a statement of objectives, but in many cases
the objectives statements were very broad and not quantifiable. Often the
expression of the activ,ity.or methods of the program were presented instead
of an objective that would have a product that was measurable in both
quantity and quality (Ex: p. 327).
In, addition both goal and objective statements sometimes seem to be addres-
sing different problems or different aspects of the problem outlined in the
problem statement (Ex. page 420)•
Evaluation components in many cases are aimed at measuring only output and
not outcome. Granted that in some cases it -is difficult if not impossible
to measure total outcome in the short range; but often some attempt to
measure only certain aspects of outcome would be helpful in determining
whether or not the program is having. any affect on reducing the extent or
severity of the outlined health problem.
Certain relationships of coordination and cooperation between local govern -
ments were indicated in contracting for certain services (e.g. Edina is
. contracting with Bloomington Health Department, Public Health Nursing
Service to provide the personal health services outlined in the Edina CHS
Plan) or sharing services (e.g. Edina, St. Louis Park, and Bloomington
sharing the cost of certain environmental health services). However. :it =
Is hoped that in the future and whey, appropriate, private as w l,hT'c
service vendors would be considered to provide a needed service.
For the most part there was little attention to a "systems" perspective.
In most cases a listing of programs was presented, most of which dealt
with a specific health problem or condition. The whole person or family
approach as outlined in Policy 9 of the 1-1--tropolitan Health Board's CHS
provisional policy statements did not seem to be a major focus of the
plan. Realizing that the Act itself tends to de- emphasize the total health
needs of the individual by purposefully excluding such things as chemical
dependency - treatment and community mental health programs from eligibility
for...CHS subsidy funding, still additional documentation is needed on how
the many and varied programs outlined interface and provide for the needs
of the total person.
',IIa Documentation of the information employed in the analysis, and the
rationale and process by which health problem definition and priority
were determined (CHS Policies 1 and 2)
The process by which health problems were identified and prioritized
was outlined in general under Ia above. Some additional factors con-
cerning the process were: the step -by -step outline of
the. process; the sets of criteria developed'to prioritize prooiems;
the specifications developed for program proposals, and the coordina-
tion by Hennepin County OPD of the problem assessment and prioritizing
phase of the planning process insuring uniformity and therefore
comparability of assessment results by category from one municipality
to the next.
-4-
' i
COIMNT: A fine job of integrating and organizing the separate processes of
problem definition and prioritizing occurring in many different locations
and with many different groups.
Several different types of information were utilized including: socio
demographics, certain health status indicators (crude birth and death
rates, infant mortality, etc.) the results of the opinion questionnaire,
and existing program experience. One suggestion for'the future would be
to expand the circulation and response on the questionnaire and de-
emphasize the program experience as a means of assessing the nature and
extent of health problems.
13:b lack of attention to problems that the MAtr000litan Health Board
believes exist based on its own or other data or information CH!
A- 6. 7. 8. 9. 10).
COrZMNT: Many health problems were described in the Hennepin County CHS Plan
and it would be difficult to identify additional specific health problems
that are within the scope of the Act. However, there are some general
aspects to the delivery of health care which could receive additional
attention in the future:
1. The level of awareness of the general public of:
a, how to take responsibility for one's own health; how to keep
from getting ill.and preventing a worsening of one's health
condition once illness develops or is contracted
b. when to seek professional help for health care, and.
service service level is most appropriate
e. what services and resources are available in the community'
and how to access them.
20 The lack of a health care system for the individual which is
accessible, acceptable, and provides continuity of care. Even
though an individual may have the financial resources to afford
"the best" health care it is no assurance that all his social,
emotional, and physical needs, all of which 'contribute to his
• total health, will be attended to.
(CHS Policy 9)
3. A good program evaluation aimed at assessing outcome and the im-
•pact of the program on the health problem it is designed to
affect.
Ile. Evidence that programs were included in the plan based on health
problem assess,.ent and priority oz the health problem. (CHS Policy 3)
In general the Hennepin County CHS Plan and its component municipal plans
have outlined proarars which,when total funding (local dollars plus subsidy)
is taken into account,do seem to be funded according to the priorities
given them by the various local advisory .committees. The problem.. priori-
ties, however, do differ significantly from one geographic area of Hennepin
County to another.
r COMrIENT: Varying problem priorities may in fact reflect differing health
conditions of different populations, or inay reflect differing' awareness
and perception levels on the part. of the committee members and citizens
who made inputs to the plan. Obviously it is impossible to ever entirely
eliminate the latter from the process; it may, also be undesirable since
often these individuals are in positions which allow them certain perspective
or knowledge unobtainable by the general, public. However, it would be
helpful in future years to develop a survey of attitudes and opinion on
health problems and to. sample- health professionals,' patients' and clients, and
a cross-section of the general public. This device would be helpful to
ascertain the knowledge level of the general public with regard to.health .
concerns and to highlight differences between the perceptions of the health
• care provider, the client, and the public in these matters. Combined with.
health status indicators such as infant mortality, age-specific death rate,
disease specific death rate, improved measures of morbidity and population
demographics, a much improved picture of the health needs, as well as
health education needs of an area could be realized.
[Id evidence that consideration was given to both new and existing program
alternatives intended to deal with a specific health T)roblem.
Overall the Hennepin County CHS Plan allocates approximately 34 percent of
the subsidy funding to new programs,'.9 percent to expansion of existing
programs, 57 percent to maintain existing programs. These percentages vary
greatly from one municipality to another. Bloomington has earmarked 100
percent of its CHS subsidy to maintain existing programs. Edina has
allocated approximately 55 percent of its subsidy to maintain existing pro -
grams, 26 percent for expansion of existing programs, and 19 percent for
new programs. Minneapolis has allocated 33 percent of its subsidy to new
programs (and approximately - two - thirds of that subsidy is in the area of
health education) and 6 percent to the expansion of the Day Care Center
Health Program and "Home Health Services for Ill and Disabled. Other munici-
palities have allocated approximately half of their subsidy to new programs,
which will, for the most part, replace the former State operated environ-
mental services programs serving these areas. Another 7 percent will go into
the expansion of existing personal health care programs. County -wide pro-
grams allocate 14 percent of the subsidy to expand existing programs and
53 percent for new programs, the majority of which will be allocated to
health education program.-devdlopment and'-implementation.
COMMENT: Although sore effort was made in the County plan to emphasize the
development of new programs (particularly in Minneapolis and County based
programs) detailed analyses of the performance of existing programs was
somewhat weak. In addition little attention was given to studying whether
,or not there were better alternative programs for accomplishing the objec-
tives. For example, is the best way of decreasing the incidence or potential
of food -born illness to increase the number of inspections, or to develop a
public awareness and reporting system to encourage consumers to report any
unsanitary conditions to the local authority and to be careful of the con-
dition of the food they eat and the place in which the food is consumed?
It is expected that in future years the types of program evaluation outlined un-
der CHS Policy 4 will be given more attention.
•6-
IIe Evidence that consideration was liven to assess. the most cost effec-
tive means of meeting a determined health problem priority.
• has unnecessary duplication of services been avoided
- are programs sharing equipments staffing, facilities, personnel
and services wherever possible
- has cost effectiveness been addressed in terms of type and
deployment of staff, number of paople served, and penetration
into the target population?
.(CHS Policies 4 and 10)
COMENT: Some attempts have been documented in the Hennepin County CHS Plan
to contract for services or provide a shared service where there was an
existing resource which would be more cost effective than creating a new
program and in some cases duplication
han one
ljcommunity. A description ofo the gstaffing one
new program to serve more
and number of people to be served was presented for each of the programs.
The penetration of the program into the target population and the effect of
the program on the health condition of its target group is somewhat more
difficult to ascertain and in most cases is dealt with superficially or not
at all: Hopefully, in future .years as a more adequate program evaluation
is developed along the lines advocated in CHS Policy 4, it will be possible
to analyze this aspect in more depth and from a more objective basis.
III. Are subsidv funding priorities consistent with the priorityof identi-
fied health problems of the corrmunitV?
a.
Are variations adequately documented and justified?
(CHs Policies 2,3
b. Are RrODOsed services consistent with the Act's focus on illness
Rrevention and health education? (CHS Policy 6)
COMMENT: In general funding priorities seem to be in line with problem prio-
rities as identified by the various local advisory. bodies.
Overall the emphasis on health education and prevention seems adequate in
. view of the emphasis given such activities in the Act. However, the empha-

From: Mary Anderson, Chairperson
Edina Human Relations Commission
Re: Peoplemaking Workshop, "Bridging the Intimacy Gap"
/The attached report is submitted in response to your request for background
information with respect to a complaint issued by Mr. Fred Vaudrin concerning
the content of films shown at a workshop session of Peoplemaking in November
of 1976. As you will recall, Mr. Vaudrin appeared before the Commission in
November to discuss his objections with Commission members. Mr. Vaudrin
viewed the films, which were part of a workshop entitled "Bridging the Intimacy
Gap: Sexual Communication ", conducted by Marilyn Mason of the University of
Minnesota Medical School, as pornographic. Mr. Vaudrin called for tighter
controls on the part of sponsoring agencies to ensure that the showing of
such films does not reoccur within the community.
Since receiving Mr. Vaudrin's complaint, the Human Relation's Commission has
spent considerable time investigating and discussing the issues raised. Those
issues appear to be twofold: 1) Are the films in question indeed pornographic;
and 2) Should the content of all materials presented at Peoplemaking be
"screened" prior to inclusion in the program.
The attached reports will provide greater detail concerning the outcome of the
Commission's investigation and subsequent recommendations. However, I will
briefly summarize the conclusions of Commission members.
With respect to the first issue raised -- Are the films in question indeed
pornographic -- the consensus of opinion is "probably not." The definition
of what constitutes "pornography" is clearly a subjective one, varying with
each individual questioned. In this particular case, it is highly significant
that, with the exception of Mr. Vaudrin, no person interviewed by the Commission
construed the films in question as "pornographic ". Indeed, the vast majority
of those who viewed the films asserted strong positive feelings with respect to
the "message" the films communicated. It does not appear, in the judgment of
the Commission, that the films were either inappropriate in the context of their
showing or pornographic by any commonly accepted definition.
With respect to the second issue raised -- Should the content of all materials
presented at subsequent Peoplemaking workshops be "screened" prior to inclusion
in the program -- the consensus of opinion is "no". Peoplemaking has established
itself as a highly regarded community program. This reputation has resulted from
the responsible efforts of each of the Peoplemaking Steering Committees over the
past four years and is testimony to the quality of workshop planners and presenters.
Peoplemaking has historically dealt with "controversial" human issues, and the
Commission feels that current procedures for determining program content are not
&a
only adequate but also a desirable and necessary model for maintaining the
over -all quality of the workshop sessions. At the outside, the Commission
would recommend to the Steering Committee that if a film is to be included
within a workshop session, it be identified in the printed program such that
potential participants would be aware of its part in the program.
If you have any questions with regard to the Commission's findings or desire
any additional information, please feel free to contact me.
(b
THE SUDJECT /SPEAK- SELECTION PROCESS
The program committee, a subcommittee of the Peoplemaking steering committee,
takes the responsibility for developing the workshop topics and selecting the
speakers for those topics. By using past workshop evaluations and input from..
churches, civic groups, school and city personnel, the committee identifies
the interest areas of the community. The next step is contacting qualified
professional people to lead the workshops. Names of speakers come from several
sources — universities, colleges, churches, other educational institutions,
professionals recommendations, and recommendations from members of the steering
and program committees. A great deal of care goes into the selection of a
speaker. The guideline used by the committee in the past has been that either
the speaker has been heard personnally by a member of the committee and is
highly recommended by that person, or'that a speaker comes to the committee's
attention from several different sources and is highly recommended. Another
concern in selecting speakers is that they are eager to participate and are
comfortable with the topic area presented to them. If the speaker isn't eager
to participate the committee tries to find someone that is. A speaker may wish
to alter a topic to fit the area of their expertise more closely. Depending
on how strongly the committee feels, a change may or may not be made. After
the initial contact and the informal agreement is made with the speaker, a
formal letter is sent to the speaker requesting professional background
information, a description of the workshop to be presented, and a bibliography
of related material. The committee also asks for an audio — visual eqipment
request. This information serves two purposes for- the program committee. First,
it insures the committee that the speaker understands the nature of the workshop
requested. Secondly, the material is used in the program brochure to acquaint
workshop participants with the speakers background and the nature of the material
to be. presented before entering the workshop. The program committee works as a
body using care and discretion in selecting speakers for the benefit of both
participant and speaker. It is not unusual for the committee to reject a speaker
or topic. :Dine months is the minimum amount of time spent in planning the program.
This allows the committee time to research topics, speakers, and to make necessary
changes. One reason for the success of_.Peoplemaking is the high caliber of professionals
and people the committee has been able to attract.

FROM: Gene Sylvestre
SUBJECT: Complaint Received About Peoplemaking Workshop On "Bridging The Intimacy Gap"
DATE: February 3, 1977
As requested, I talked to three people who had knowledge of the workshop session which
an Edina resident, Fred J. Vaudrin, has objected to. The session was entitled "Bridging
The Intimacy Gap: Sexual Communications" by Marilyn Mason. Pis. Mason is on the staff of
the University of Minnesota Medical School, teaches at Metropolitan Community College,
and has a private counseling practice. In addition, she conducts training sessions for
the Johnson Institute. She runs workshops and seminars for church groups, family life
groups, woman's groups, couples groups, and school groups.
DISCUSSION �TITH MARILfT MASON: I met last week with Ms. Mason to discuss the workshop
and, particularly, the use of the film titled "The Quickie" which Vaudrin had objected
to as being pornographic. ;s. Mason stated that she was surprised at this reaction as
she had been using the film in her training sessions with different groups of all kinds
and this is the first person to object to the film. She added, "However, Mr. Vaudrin did
seem to object to the workshop subject and tape - recorded the session until he left, about
half Bray through."
She uses the film and many other films and slide presentations to help people learn more
about sexual communication, as the workshop title clearly stated. She feels that this
particular film is useful to many people as it shows what not to do, how not to behave.
It's 2- minute length of fast- action sexual activity is the opposite of the caring,
considerate, intimate communication between people that Als. Mason encourages.
Within the last few weeks Ms. Mason has conducted workshops with several other groups
on the subject of "Bridging The Gap ". One was for families at a St. Paul church and the
other was a workshop for the Mrs. Jaycees from 4 -5 communities. Over 300 women attended
this workshop last Saturday. Hone of the people objected to her presentation or her
use of films and slides.
DISCUSSION ;.ITH S LLY ::L�:BELSC!1: Ms. Rabelson is program chairwoman of the workshop that
was Yield by L -s. i•lason at linty Church in St. Paul. She states that "Ve chose this workshop
subject and Ms. I•tason to present it because we feel the need to help people think throuoli
this important issue.... and in a most responsible way." She described the workshop at her
congregation as "... the same as the Fz:mily Life Workshop you people put on, but expanded_
She went on to say that she felt "... the film has to be seen in context .... it was presentee
clearly as a film shoi-ring hoar not to view human sexuality." Ms. Rabelson described the
presentations of Ms. Nason as "warm and wonderfully helpful to many people ".
DISCUSSION ;1IT11 JUDY EILEIRTSCII: I,Is. Eilertson is active in a number of organizations
concerned with family life in the Twin Cities, including the Johnson Institute's programs
for "concerned" rel::tives and friends of chemically dependents. She has worked with Ms.
Mason and with the internati= lly known therapist, Virginia Satir.
Ms. Eilertson pointed out that she feels Ms. Mason's presentation at the Peoplemaking
workshop eras "....very sound ... on a very important subject that she handles most .
responsibly." She �::dded that she h,--.s seen a number of similar programs, often in
connection with conareg::tional work r:t St. Martin's by— the —Lake Church, where her
husband is pastor.
-2—
She felt that the films used by Ms. Mason at the Peoplemaking session were "excellent,
really clarified the subject ". She added that she wondered why Mr. Vaudrin, who sat
next to her at the workshop, came to the session — "He was obviously not enjoying the
learning process about how people can become more trusting of one another ".
CONCLUSION: None of the people I talked to viewed the film "The (quickie" as pornographic,
which ,Jebster's Dictionary describes and defines as "writings, pictures, etc., intended
to arouse sexual desire ".
Certainly,-.the courts have not been able to clearly define what pornography is. No one
who attended Peoplemaking, except Mr. Vaudrin, found the film pornographic. I saw it
and did not find it so. I agree with the lady from Edina who attended our last monthly
meeting of the Human Relations Commission when she said of the film ".... we howled
with laughter, but I didn't think I could label it as pornographic ".

Friends:
Just a note to commend and thank the Edina Human Relations Commission
for the Peoplemaking workshops held last fall. Our congregation is proud
to be one of the sponsoring organizations.
It becomes important for me to say this in light of the recent letter of
criticism re Marilyn Mason's presentation. I am grateful that the general
chairman, John Strom, and the program chairpersons, Mary -and Dawn Menzel,
chose to include the workshop on intimacy. It says much about their per-
ceptions of the needs of our community, verified by the large attendance
at Nis. Mason's presentation.
I am equally grateful that the Commission has chosen to not screen the
material to be presented in the future. If we have chosen people of
integrity to be the speakers we must trust their judgment. I have con-
fidence that the people of Edina can handle material that some may deem
controversial. That is how we learn and grow and mature. And isn't that
what Peoplemaking is all about?
Warm greetings,
Arvid Dixen

MAKE SOME COMMENT. I CANNOT SPEAK FOR THE ENTIRE MEMBERSHIP OF OUR
GROUP BUT THE MATTER HAS BEEN DISCUSSED BY SEVERAL OF OUR BOARD MEM-
BERS AND WE WOULD LIKE TO INFORM THE HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION AND
AND PARTIES CONNECTED WITH THE OBTAINING OF THIS PRESENTATION, THAT
WE FEEL OFFERING FRANK AND FORTHRIGHT EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL TO THE
COMMUNITY IS NOT CONSIDERED OFFENSIVE NOR PORNOGRAPHIC.
WE FEEL IF ANY INDIVIDUAL ATTENDS ONE OF THESE CONFERENCES AND FINDS
THE MATERIAL BEING PRESENTED PERSONALLY OFFENSIVE HE HAS A PERFECT
RIGHTf TO EXPRESS H18 BELIEF AND THEN LEAVE.
WE FEEL THE COMMITTEE ARRANGING PROGRAMS SHOULD CERTAINLY HAVE SOME
BACKGROUND INFORMATION OR REFENCES BUT REQUIRING A SCREENING COMMITTEE
FOR ANY FILMS OR COPIES OF TALKS TO BE PRESENTED SHOULD CERTAINLY
NOT BE REQUIRED.
IT IS REGRETFUL THAT THIS ONE PRESENTATION IS OBTAINING THE KIND OF
PUBLICITY THAT IS NOW TAKING PLACE BECAUSE THE PEOPLEMAKING COMMITTEES
HAVE WORKED TREMENDOUSLY LONG HOURS AND HAVE DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB
IN A BADLY NEGLECTED AND NEEDED EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE.

Summary of the general comments of HRC members and Peoplemaking steering and
program committee members:
In the context of the workshop "Bridging the Intimacy Gap: Sexual
Communications" it is the concensus of the Human Relations Commission
and the Peoplemaking Steering and Program Committees that the films
were i.ppropriate.
Because of the quality of the speakers and the nature of the selection
process it is felt that prescreening of films for Peoplemaking is not
necessary.
The workshop was viewed as a worthwhile experience.
It is possible that the films could be considered controversial or
that they might be misinterpreted.
Recommendation:
The majority of the people involved feel that prescreening of films
should not be utilized.
The only specific recommendation put forth by this group is that
films should be identified and described by title in the program
brochure.
Inter-Office
Memo
January 14, 1977
TO: Edina Human Relations Commission
FROM: John Strom
RE: 1976 Peoplemaking Workshop
Peoplemaking 1976 was held on November 12 and 13, 1976, on the
Edina West Campus with over 400 people in attendance. The
following paragraphs summarize various aspects of the workshop
and concludes with some considerations for Peoplemaking 1977.
Organization
Preparation for the 1976 workshop began with an organizational
meeting on February 28, 1976, with approximately 20 people in
attendance. Shortly thereafter, the organization began to
take shape and plans were underway. To facilitate the develop-
ment of Peoplemaking 1976, four committees were formed and a
chairpersons) designated for each committee. The structure
was as follows:
Program Committee
Mary and Dawn Menzel
Finance Committee
Tom Oye
Publicity
Sue Crabtree
Arrangements
Sally Nydahl
Each chairperson was responsible for the organization of their
committee and the development and implementation of their re-
spective areas of responsibility. The outstanding job done by
each of the four groups made the general chairman's job an easy
one.

Program Committee
The Program Committee under the direction of Mary and Dawn
Menzel started meeting near the end of April and continued
meeting on a regular basis up to the time of the workshop.
The committee decided to continue the same basic program
format as used in the three previous workshops; a keynote
speech on Friday evening followed by concurrent workshop
sessions on Saturday.
The keynote speaker was Dr. Sherod Miller, who is on the
faculty of the Medical School at the University of Minnesota
and al.so President of Interpersonal Communications Programs,
Inc. The title of his presentation was "Family as Context
for Expanding Consciousness ". Although no accurate count is
available, I would estimate the attendance between 150 and
175 people.
On Saturday, 33 workshops were held covering a wide variety
of subject material. Many of the topic areas were repeats
from previous years, but the committee also introduced some
new areas, such as the energy crisis, physical and mental
health, and third world nations. In addition, a series of
three workshops were geared to the interests of senior citi-
zens. Special emphasis was placed on involving the senior
citizens in this year's workshop by offering free admission
and lunch tickets and also bus service to and from the Edina
Senior Citizens Center.
Attendance at the workshops sessions was as follows:
Session

264
people

280

The program committee requested each attendee to fill out a
questionaire regarding their impressions of Peoplemaking and
also solicited their recommendations. Seventy five questionaires
were returned and are available for your review. They contain
an overwhelming majority of favorable comments and the desire
to continue the Peoplemaking series.
Finance Committee
In addition to preparing the budget and paying the bills, the
finance committee this year had the additional task of gener-
ating the necessary funds to offset the reduction in city
funding. They accomplished this task by soliciting most of the
Edina churches and civic organizations for contributions and
also instituting, for the first time, an admission charge of
$1.00 per person. The financial report prepared by Tom Oye
attests to the success of this committee.

to $100.00, if needed, to balance off our
Publicity Committee
1977, we have asked the
consider Peoplemaking
(Although the Edina
they had pledged up
budget.)
The publicity for this year's workshop was centered in two
areas; the program brochure and the Sun Newspaper. Based on
previous feedback, posters were not used. The distribution
of the brochures was done in a different manner. Instead of
using the elementary schools as a vehicle for distribution, the
brochures were hand delivered to practically all of the house-
hold units in Edina. Of the seventy five people who responded
to the questionaire, almost 500 of them became aware of People-
making 1976 through receipt of the brochure.
The Sun Newspaper also did an excellent job of publicizing the
workshop. They ran a series of about 5 articles featuring
workshop speakers and their subject material.
The following information is taken from the questionaires:
How did you learn about Peoplemaking?
Brochures
Edina Sun
Church
Word of mouth
36
21
4
and other- 22
Have you attended previous Peoplemaking workshops?
Yes 35
No 40
Did you attend the keynote address?
Yes 36
No 39
Two comments regarding the above information. First, the
publicity apparently reached a large number of "new" people.
Second, a good percentage of people that attend Friday night
do not attend on Saturday and vice versa.
In addition to the publicity, the committee also prepared a
scrapbook of Peoplemaking 1976 which is available for your
review.

1976 Peoplemaking Workshop
Arrangements Committee
The Arrangements Committee did a super job on what quite often
is regarded as the thankless tasks. They handled the ticket
preparation and sales, the coffee and cookies, and the lunches.
In addition, the committee contacted a number of organizations
regarding display booths and made the necessary arrangements .
with the school for space, tables, etc. Seven organizations
set up displays on Saturday. A detailed report has been prepared
by Sally Nydahl for review by next year's arrangements committee.
Considerations for Future Years
A number of thoughts have surfaced in my mind which I feel should
be considered in the planning for Peoplemaking 1977. They are
as follows:
1. The general chairperson should be selected prior
to the first organizational meeting in February
or March.
2. The Friday evening keynote session should be re- evaluated.
Could this time be used more effectively or should it
be dropped?
3. Per 10 or 11 concurrent sessions are more than we
need. A smaller number, say 7 or 8, of well conceived
sessions with outstanding leaders may be more effective.
4. In line with #3 above, we should re- evaluate the use
of special interest sessions. This year we experienced
some grumbling from the session leaders because of the
small number of people in attendance.
S. Chemical dependency has lost its appeal as a workshop
session. Perhaps this is due to the large number of
other community offerings on this subject.
6. There appeared to be little or no resistance to the
admission charge of $1.00 per person. Ideally, the
program should be self supporting, which perhaps could
be accomplished by increases in the price of admission.
Conclusion
From all outward signs, Peoplemaking 1976 was a success. This
success was due to the efforts of a number of people who worked
hard and constructively on the various committees. I would like
to take this opportunity to thank each of them. Also, I would
like to thank Mary Ness for her guidance and counsel and Janie
Budd for her clerical support and refreshing spirit.

The meeting was called to order at 7:45 p.m. by Chairperson Mary Anderson.
A motion was made by Mary Ness and seconded by Charles Clay that the minutes of the
December 21st meeting be approved as recorded.
Report on Peoplemaking
John Strom, Chairperson of the 1576 Peoplemaking Steering Committee, was introduced.•'He
was invited to spear: to the Commission on the workshop that was held in November. He
distributed copies of a report he had prepared and the probram brochure. The re -port includes
information on the organizational structure of the workshop, results of the questionaire
given to Peoplemaking participants, and offers su,--,estions for planning future affairs.
The only criticism of the event was in regards to films shown at a workshop on sexuality
presented by Ms. Marilyn Mason of Metropolitan Community College. A complaint was expressed
to the Commission at the November meeting and an article appeared in the Edina Sun. A woman,
who did not wish to identify herself, expressed similar feelings. Although she would not
call the films pornographic she did feel sensitive towards them.
John Strom reported that 11s. Mason's workshop was the most highly attended session of the
day. 112 people attended and written evaluations indicated that it was highly regarded. The
Rev. Arvid Dixen, 4109 W. 54th St., and Mr. and Mrs. Martin Barke, 5500 Highw ood Dr., attended
the Commission meeting to comment on the excellent quality of the workshop. They were not
offended by the films.
Mr. Strom stressed that the Peoplemaking Program Committee had approved the use of the films
for the workshop without actually seeing them. He was not offended by the films.
A motion was made by Harriet Herb and seconded by Mimi Gleekel that the Human Relations
Commission recommend to the Peoplemaking Steering Committee that in the future when dealing
with a sensitive subject the committee should alert the-speaker to .problems that could
develop and before any presentation is made alert the audience to what will occur in the
session. \
The motion failed with 3 aye's and 5 no's.
It was then moved by Mary Ness and seconded by Birdie Bagley that the Human Relations
Commission delay action on the matter until they can further investigate the complaint
with a preliminary report to be prepared for the -City Council no later than February 7,
1977• The motion was approved.
Report on Youth Action
It was reported by Joel Jennings that the additional information requested from Steve
Lepinski regarding the Storefront /Youth Action merger had been received. It was the
concensus of the Youth Action subcommittee that the merger of the two agencies would
provide the city with better reporting and accountability from the agency and would also
help the agency achieve a broader base of funding in the future.
Both the South Hennepin Human Services Council and the City of Richfield have approved
the plan. Under the merger the agency will be eligible for funding under the Hennepin
County Youth Diversion Program.
The committee uas satisfied that the same services would continue to be provided under the
merger. It was mentioned that the contract with the agency could be terminated by the city
at any time.
Report on Human Affairs Day
Mary Ness reported that a meeting has been planned with Ray Bechtle of the Edina Public
Schools concerning Human Affairs Day. A commitment from the school administration, staff,
and students is necessary before any plans for the event can be pursued. The committee
hopes to have the support and more specific information by the next meeting.
Report on the Ombudsman
Following an article that appeared in the Edina Newsletter it was reported that the city
has begun to receive phone calls on the Citizen's Aid Line. The date, time, nature of, and
response to those phone calls will be recorded.
Report on Commission Membership
Commission members submitted names of individuals to serve as Commission members. These
names will be passed on to Mayor James Van Valkenburg to- consider for appointment.
Chair Report
The Chair announced a meeting of the I.linnesota State Council on the Handicapped to be held
on February 10th and 11th at the Marquette Inn.
The Chair also requested information on the city's housing plan.
Report on the Workshop on Community —Based Residential Services
Mary Anderson announced that Workshop= of the Community —Based Residential Services Workshop
will be held on February 2nd at 7:30 p.m. at Creekside Community Center.
It was reported that Edina was well represented at the first workshop which was held on
December 4, 1976. The workshop included a panel discussion and a simulation of the .
establishment of a residential facility in a community.
Old & New Business
There being no further business to discuss the meeting was adjourned at 10:05. P.m.

Dear Mr. Carlson:
Lynn and I want to thank you for your outstanding work and
efforts, which went beyond our expectations, in connection with the
water problem, or should I say the lack of water, that we incurred
at our residence at 5041 West 66th Street over the past weekend.
As you recall, water service to our home was suspended as a result
of freezing of the main pipe supplying water to our home. Your coopera-
tion late on Friday evening and subsequent telephone calls and visits
to our home on Saturday, in order to coordinate the work, was very
much appreciated by us.
Your efforts are our reward for living in Edina.
Sincerely,
(onand L Zamansk

MEMORANDUM

RE: Southdale
Background: At the time of its dedication 210 years ago, Southdale was recognized
worldwide in such publications as Life, Fortune, Time, Business Week,
Sylvia Porter, the New York Times, numerous trade journals and in-
ternational periodicals as being the first fully enclosed, environ-
mentally- controlled shopping center in the world. Many other arch-
itectural "firsts" incorporated in Southdale's design combine to
make it a building of international historic significance.
The Edina Heritage Preservation Board has been .charged with advising
the Council on historic sites within Edina boundaries, and recom-
mending action to preserve such heritage when desirable and feasible.
Due to the unique commercial value of the Southdale facility, it may
not be possible to preserve Southdale's heritage by conventional
historic designations or methods.
Proposal: The Edina Heritage Preservation Board believes that the international
historic significance of Southdale should be documented in the form
of a book composed by an architectural historian.
Implementation: The Preservation Board requests permission to encourage such a publi-
cation by Dayton Hudson Properties, with the funding being provided
by Dayton Hudson Properties.
ADOPTED AT FEBRUARY 10, 1977, MEETING OF THE HERITAGE PRESERVATION BOARD.
