LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY
LEGISLATIVE SESSION MOVING SLOWLY.
The first six years under changed legislative majority leadership were marked
by the large volume of legislation introduced each session and the corresponding
amount of that legislation that was passed and signed into law. Such action is
common with change in party leadership.
This year, however, a new mood is. apparent in the legislative process. Lobbyists
are commenting on the slowness of the session. Few bills were introduced early in
the session. The bills that were introduced moved more slowly through the legislative
process, and many bills were sidetracked for futher study during the interim between
legislative sessions. Informal sources state that this session is viewed as a
review and clean -up session by party leadership in both houses.
As of April 1, only four bills had passed and been signed into law. The pace
is beginning to quicken somewhat with 21 laws enacted as of April 15th. Still,
this is substantially less than the amount of legislation passed in the recent past
for the corresponding period of time. Both houses of the Legislature and the
Governor's Office are talking about streamlining governmental agencies and procedurally
changing governmental program effectuation. You can expect to see research and
study in these areas during the interim with reorganization packages likely to appear
the second half of the biennium.
1977 OMNIBUS TAX BILL
Drafting is just beginning on the 1977 Omnibus Tax Bill. Little is presently
known about its content. Rumor is that the city share of Local Government Aid
funding will be increased. A corresponding effort to reduce the yearly percentage
increase in Department of Revenue imposed levy limitations from 6 percent to 5 percent
may be attempted.
(2)
AMENDMENTS TO UNEMPLOYMENT LAW
The first bill of city interest to be passed into law this session as
Laws 1977, Chapter 4 was an amendment to the State Unemployment Act, now applicable
to cities. The amendment provides that an employee must have earned $750 (previously
$500) from terminated employment and must have worked fifteen (previously eighteen)
credit weeks within that employment. The formula for establishing the weekly benefit
amount has also been changed. Individuals who voluntarily leave their employment
or who are discharged for misconduct are disqualified from receiving unemployment
compensation benefits and from receiving waiting week credit for the period of their
unemployment until they have earned four times their weekly benefit amount through
newly acquired employment.
UNIFORM ELECTION DAY BILL
Heavy lobbying efforts by cities has slowed the momentum of the Uniform Election
Day bill, sponsored by Schaaf in the Senate and Corbid in the House. The bill has
not passed out of committee in either house and is not expected, at least at this
time, to pass during this legislative session.
The bill provides for uniform election dates in the odd - numbered year for all
local government elected officials. When twice the number of persons to be elected
file for a local office, a primary election on the second Monday in September would
be mandated. The bill provides state reimbursement to cities and towns for election
expenses of up to $1 for each person who voted or $100, whichever is greater.
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
The recent Joint Task Force on Tax Increment Financing, sponsored by Minnesota
Cities, resulted in legislation drafted to consolidate the present widely- scattered
state law in the area. The first legislation to be introduced on tax increment
financing was a bill authored by Senator Davies seeking to repeal tax increment
financing. The League of Cities drafted legislation consolidating the present laws
was then introduced. A week ago, a new House version modifying the League of
Cities bill was introduced. The status of tax increment financing is in the great
state of confusion. Phil Cohen predicts that tax increment financing will remain
in some form after the legislative session but with a number of restrictions not
presently existing in the law.
SHADE TREE DISEASE CONTROL
Senator Humprey's shade tree disease control bill has passed the Senate and
both the Senate and House versions are presently in the House Appropriations
Committee. The bill originally appropriated $20 million for grants to cities for
sanitation programs and $5 million for grants for reforestation programs. Grants
from the State to cities would not exceed 50 percent of the cost for each tree up
to $50 per tree, and would be limited to grants to any city in any year for not
more than one- half.of the number of trees removed in the sanitation program in the
previous year. The cost of shade tree disease control programs would be a special
levy not subject to the overall levy limitations.
The House and Senate versions differ. There is a strong possibility that the
bills will go to conference committee prior to final passage. Thd bill, however,
seems to be the "hop on the bandwagon" bill of this session and is expected to
pass in some form before the end of the session.
HOUSE FILE ONE - HUMAN SERVICES WAYS AND MEANS BILL
House File 1, authored by Rep. McCarron, and described by proponents as a human
services ways and means bill moved quickly through the House but is presently tied
up in committee in the Senate. This measure finally caught the attention of the press
and has been widely publicized over the last couple weeks. For that reason, I will
give the bill only summary attention.
The bill is intended to streamline state funding of social services such as
adoption, mental health, mental retardation, detoxification, child protection, and
i
public health services. The planning and appropriation responsibilities would
be vested in the County Board. Barring unforeseen circumstances, it is unlikely
that the measure with pass.the Senate this session.
The last day of the legislative session is May 23..

To: Mayor and Council
From: Warren C. Hyde
Subject: Police Department Reorganization and Promotions
In general accordance with the reorganization proposed by the management
consulting study, which was recommended in principle to you by Buresh,
Merfeld, West and myself, and which we feel the Council has approved
in concept, if not in final formal action, we have concluded the very
comprehensive testing program authorized by Council and are prepared
to make promotions to various positions at the salary levels approved
by you in the 1977 salary resolution.
Attached is a copy of the organization chart as proposed by the
consultants, with three minor changes indicated which we feel are
advisable for several reasons. At this time, we are not recommending
the creation of the sergeant's position in the Juvenile Section.
The additional salary cost of the promotions we are proposing to make
for 1977 is $21,193.60, assuming that you approve and promotions are
made effective April 6. There are some offsetting savings and we hope
to have data on this by Monday night. We request at this time your
approval of increasing the Police Department budget by the above amount.
We have scheduled a meeting of the Department for Tuesday to announce
the results of the testing and hopefully the promotions. If you have
any questions or objections to the above, please call me before Monday
night.

To Edina City Council Members:
We request permission to add to our city tap assessment
a connection charge of 8710.60 for the addition of a curb box
and hook -up to the city water main located in 62nd Street. The
added assessment: would be for six(6) yearsr starting in 1978,
at five per cent.(5 ) interest per the city assessors" department.

EDINA PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
March 2, 1977
McCauley Heights 7th Addition. Generally located.east
of McCauley Trail, north of McCauley Lane, and south of
McCauley Circle.
Refer to: Attached survey.
The proponents are requesting to subdivide an existing lot on the end of McCauley
Circle into two lots which would back onto Arrowhead Lake. The resulting lots
would be over 17,000 square feet in size, however, due to the poor planning
in this area and the lack of roads, one of the lots would only be 80 feet wide
and more than 250 feet deep. The second lot would be 120 feet wide but only
about 80 feet of that lot is useable and the lot would be- over .250 feet deep.
The lots would leave an average of a 30 foot frontage on the lake for each of
these lots, which would be extremely meager considering the state's new
shoreline regulations. Those regulations require a 100 foot frontage onto any
lake.. The single family lot sizes in the neighborhood are generally over
20,000 square feet, except for another lot which was previously subdivided off
of this original lot.
Recommendation: The staff would recommend denial of the proposed subdivision
for the following reasons:
1. The lakeshore frontage is minimal and would cause overuse and possible
pollution problems to the lake.
2. Faulty, piece -meal planning and arrangement has caused inadequate frontage
on roads, and, if approved, this subdivision would result in elongated lots
not capable of supporting development consistent with other development on
Arrowhead Lake.

Arbitration in the Matter of
Minnesota Teamsters Local No. 320 April 1, 1977
and
City of Edina Case No. 76- PN -829A
Background
On November 8, 1976 the Director, Bureau of Mediation Services, State
of Minnesota, certified to the Chairman of the Public Employment Relations
Board (P.E.R.B.) that an impasse existed between the parties. Five issues
remained in dispute:
1) Progression to Top Patrolman Rate
2) Longevity Pay (Educational Incentive)
3) Holidays
4) Uniform Allowance .
5) L.T.D. Insurance
On December 8, 1976, the Executive Secretary of P.E.R.B. notified the
following that they had been selected as Arbitrators for this case:
E.G. Heneman, Jr., Convenor (and subsequently elected as Chairman),
Joseph L. Daly, and J.C. Fogelberg. Before the Arbitration Hearing, in
an effort to expidite settlement, the parties dropped issues #3 - Holidays,
and #5, L.T.D. Insurance.
The history of bargaining between the parties may best be described
as bickering- abrasive. On August 1, 1975, a P.E.R.B. Arbitration Panel
issued an Award in the impasse between Teamster's Local #320, and the
-a-
Metropolitan Area Managers Association, P.E.R.B. Case No. 75 -PN- 381 -A,
a landmark decision involving a substantial number of Metropolitan (Twin
Cities) communities (18), and laid out general principles and decisions
for the individual local municipalities and the union to implement. In
the case of the parties to the current" dispute, this involved much haggling,
court action, further bargaining, several "Memoranda of Understanding,"
and some changes in Personnel Policies and Practices, which resulted in
agreement on bench -mark rates (top patrol officer) for 1975, 1976, and
1977. In essence, the parties are operating on an extension of the 1975
contract, as modified in the processes described in the preceeding sentence.
The issues:in the current arbitration constitute, by agreement of the
parties, the only remaining. unsettled items in their new contract, dated
January 1, 1976.
Hearing
A hearing was held at the Edina Municipal Building on February 3, 1977.
A reporter was present, the hearings were transcribed and typed copies
sent to the Arbitration Board and the parties. Post - Hearing Briefs were
filed by the parties, and received by the Board. the third week in March.
Witnesses were sworn, and appropriate opportunity was afforded for cross -
examination at the hearing. Substantial Exhibits were put in evidence
by both parties.
The case was presented by Jack Mogelson for the Union, and Cyrus
F. Smythe for the City. Others appearing for the Union were: Bob
Weisenburger, Larry Bastian, Larry Evans, Don Engel, and Bill James.
Others appearing for the City were: Gary West, Robert Buresh, Bert
Merfeld, Warren Hyde, and Tom Melena.
-3-
The union, as the moving party, made its presentation first.
Final Positions
in each of the issues were:
ISSUE #1 - Progression to
Top Patrolman Rate
Union: The salary schedule should reflect a starting rate, a twelve (12)
month rate, a twenty four (24)month rate and top patrol rate should
be reached after thirty six (36) months of service
City: No change in present practice and agreement
ISSUE #2 - Longevity Pay
(Educational Incentive)
Union: The following stability pay shall be established for employees not
under the Educational Incentive Program:
32 at beginning of 5th year
6% at beginning of 8th year.
92 at beginning of 12th year
12% at beginning of 15th year
City: The standard Metropolitan Area Management Association (M.A.M.A.) -
International Brotherhood of Teamsters (I.B.T.), Local No. 320
agreement
ISSUE #3 -
Uniform Allowance
Union: Uniform allowance shall be paid as per the agreed amount to all
members of the bargaining unit. In addition, the money left in
the voucher system from 1975 should be made available to the
employees, based on the Employer's last directive issued December
1975, to all employees
-4-
City: This is a contract interpretation dispute covered by contract
grievance procedure. Not arbitrable as an interest dispute.
Union should utilize appropriate grievance remedy stipulated
by contract.
Presentation and Examination
ISSUE #1 - Progression to
Top Patrolman Rate
Union:
The.union request was for top patrol rate at 36 months of service.
They contend that general practice in comparable municipalities supports
this position, as do recent changes in new contracts in St. Louis Park
and Hopkins reducing the time to reach maximum rates from 48 to 36 months.
City:
The city contends it has implemented the 1975 M.A.M.A.-320 Arbitration
Award, as well as the several Memorandums of Agreement between the
parties. The Arbitration Award of 1975 and the Memos of Agreement are
silent on the issue of Rate of Progression. The union, through this
Arbitration, is seeking to force the City to increase benefits beyond
current agreements and practice. After the 1975 M.A.M.A.-320 Arbitration
Award, in the 1975 Memo of Understanding between the parties (M.A.M.A. and
320) no mention was made of adjusting step progression plans. Adjustments
were made to the top patrol (bench -mark) rate, and a stated percentage was
applied'to all existing step plans. The union did not even bring up the
Edina 4 -step plan in it's discussions of the 1976 -77 Memo of Understanding
between M.A.M.A. and 320. The City of Edina has paid the revised amounts
on its four step plan for all of 1976 -and 1977 to date. The 48 month
plan is a long established practice.
-5--
Discussion:
Since both issues 1 and 2 are concerned with length of service pay
and /or longevity, discussion of these items will be found below, following
the parties' contentions for item 02.
ISSUE U2 - Longevity Pay,
educational Incentive)
Union:
The union contends that Stability pay (or Longevity Pay) should be
established for employees NOT under the Edina Educational Incentive
program. This is needed because of limited opportunities for advancement
for police officers, because the Stanton Survey shows that more units
of government are moving toward including longevity pay, because the
Carver County Arbitration Award included longevity payments, and that recent
agreements in Woodbury, Oak Park Heights and the City of Hopkins contained
longevity pay programs. Other cities and public programs have longevity
pay — including University of Minnesota police. The union believes in
an equivalency between education and experience. Over one -third of the
Edina officers do not participate in the Edina Educational Program. The
union is requesting implementation on January 1, 1977, of a longevity
pay program.
City:
The city has had an educational incentive pay plan since calendar
year 1969; it is one of the most generous in this Area. It is in keeping
with the nationwide trend to upgrade educational requirements of police
. officers., In 1975, 320 and M.A.M.A. arbitrated the issues of educational
incentive and longevity -- the union demanded a separate plan for each
of these. The Arbitration Award denied the union request and instituted
the so called "Brooklyn Park award," containing the following principal
elements:
1) for new employees (after date of M.A.M.A. - 320 Award) an
institution of educational incentive programs and no longevity
2) for current employees (before date of M.A.M.A. - 320 Award) a
longevity program (for those NOT on educational plans) on a
grandfathered basis, or
3) for current employees, they would have the option to be in the
educational incentive program rather than the longevity plan
(but not both)
4) any city with a plan which paid higher benefits than the plan
awarded by the panel must retain the more expensive plan (for
the life of the contract covered by the terms of the Arbitration
Award -- unless both parties bargained and agreed to new plans)
The City of Edina has had a more expensive plan, and has retained it
as directed by the 1975 Arbitration panel in its award. To do otherwise
would make a mockery of the city's effects to attract, retain and improve
officers by encouraging them to be better educated.
Discussion:
At the outset, as noted in Issue #1 above, both Issues #1 and 2
include a common theme of longevity. The current four -step plan is based
strictly on longevity. The current union demand seeks additional longevity
pay for those officers not under the Edina Educational Incentive Plan.
In the hearing, there was some discussion of Employer Hiring Require-
meets. That has not been certified as an issue and hence will not be
discussed by this panel. Also, in the hearings, there was discussion
of Human Rights aspects of the Educational Incentive Plan. There is
equal opportunity under the plan -- those who do not choose to participate
do so on a voluntary basis -- BUT, again this is not an issue before this
panel, nor is the PURA Arbitration process the appropriate channel for
EEO -type human rights grievances. The panel will not discuss or rule on
either the "Hiring Standards" or "Possible Discrimination" by -paths the
parties wandered down during the hearing.
The present Arbitration panel firmly believes that education and ex-
perience both can be productive in maintaining better police services.
They believe that patrol officers should be encouraged to improve their
efficiency and effectiveness through continuing higher education.
This panel also is convinced that the "Brooklyn Park principles"
laid down in the 1975 M.A.M.A. - 320 Award are sound.
It is the present Panel's view that college incentive and longevity
pay should not be considered separately in light of the collective bar-
gaining trends already established in this area, and in light of the
1975 M.A.M.A. - 320 Arbitration decision. The panel also reaffirms that
decision in terms of the desirability of self - cancelling plans.
Award on Issues #1 and 2.
1. The present 4 -step, 48 month progression to top patrolman rate shall
be retained. The panel finds for the city. This is a proper subject
for more and better collective bargaining between the parties, rather
than a matter to be settled hurriedly through interest arbitration.
2. The current educational incentive plan shall remain in effect. It is
better than the "Brooklyn Park plan," and the award of the 1975
M.A.M.A. - 320 Arbitration shall not be upset.
3. There shall be a longevity program established for Q current
employees (those on the payroll as of the date of this Award, April
1, 1977). The program shall be retroactive to January 1, 1977, per
the union's request.
A. There will be no back pay under this program for any time
worked before January 1, 1977. However, at that date there
will be a change in rates for those who elect the longevity
plan. Their rates will be raised:
1. After 6 years of service, $25.00 a month
2. After 14 years of service,. an additional $25.00 a month
(for a total of $50.00 a month which shall be the
h
maximum monk y additional rate under this longevity plan).
B. Each current employee (on payroll as of date of this Award,
April 1, 1977), not already participating in the current
educational incentive plan, shall have the option of choosing
to participate in either the current educational incentive
plan, or the new longevity plan. No employee shall be eligible
to participate in both plans simultaneously.
C. New employees (those who come on the payroll April 1, 1977, or
thereafter) shall not be eligible for the longevity plan, but
shall be eligible to participate in the current educational
incentive plan.
D. Any current employee (on payroll before April 1, 1977) who elects
to, and is eligible to participate in the longevity plan, shall
at a subsequent date be allowed to divest himself of the longevity
plan, and opt for participation in the educational incentive
plan. At that time his monthly rate of pay will be reduced by
either $25.00 or $50.00 a month (as appropriate) as a condition .
of eligibility for participation in the educational plan. No
employee under this contract shall ever be allowed to draw both
educational incentive pay, and longevity pay.
ISSUE #3 -
Uniform Allowance
Union:
The union wants all members of the bargaining unit to receive the
same uniform allowance. This is in accord with past practice. The city
has proposed to pay uniform allowance only to patrol officers, and not
pay it'to detectives.
City:
The city contends that formerly they paid a clothing allowance, and
now they plan to pay a uniform allowance -- but only to officers required
to have and maintain uniforms. Detectives are not required to have and
maintain uniforms, and under the Minnesota Constitution, the City cannot
supply a cash gratuity for uniforms to those not required to have them.
Uniforms are required for a spec cific purpose directly related to job
performance.
Discussion:
In the course of the hearing, there was discussion about the
problem of those who had not used up their 1975 allowance, and who were
r . e10-
not allowed to carry over the unspent allowance in their individual,
specific uniform allowance accounts. The city changed from use of
a voucher system in 1975, to a cash payment system in 1976. In the
course of the discussion, the city agreed to pay remaining unspent
1975 "carry- over" balances to those who would submit vouchers for
such purposes. Thus the remaining portion of the issue is whether
or not detectives shall be paid uniform allowances, and if yes, how
much and in what form.
As a general principle, the panel agrees that ordinary street
clothing such as suits, ordinary shirts, shoes, etc. are not uniforms,
and hence such items do not properly fall under a uniform allowance
program for purchase or maintenance. However, any special items
required in the duties of a detective, e.g., guns, safety shoes, bullet-
proof vests, etc. shall either be furnished by the city, or the de-
tective shall be reimbursed for the purchase and maintenance of such
required items up to a limit of $200 per year. For neither patrol
officers nor detectives shall the $200 a year allowance be regarded
or treated as a flat dollar amount bonus. Such expenditures must
reflect legal job requirements for specific items of expenditure. The
nature and purpose of the expenditure is paramount. No employee has
any "right" to unused or unspent funds merely because he didn't need
to use them for job required items. The city cannot spend such funds
as a gratuity.
Award:
1. The current cash system shall be used for patrol officers.
2. Detectives, beginning January 1, 1976, will be eligible for uniform
11-
and equipment allowance reimbursement for up to $200 per year on
a voucher system for all professional job required items of clothing,
equipment, etc.

IN THE MATTER OF ARBITRATION
THE CITY OF EDINA, MINN. (Employer)
and
OPINION AND AWARD
Proposed Termination
of Lee Rundberg for Cause
LEE RUNDBERG (Veteran) April 5, 1977
------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - --
JURISDICTION -
The above matter came on for a hearing based on an appeal filed by the
Veteran, Mr. Lee Rundberg, pursuant to Minnesota Statutesl97.46.
Minnesota Statutes 197.46...........
"No person holding a position by appointment or employment in
the State of Minnesota, or in the several counties, cities,
towns, school districts and all other political subdivisions
or agencies thereof, who is an honorably discharged veteran,
shall be removed from such position or employment except for
incompetency or misconduct shown after a hearing upon due
notice upon stated charges in writing."
The undersigned arbitrators were appointed by the parties pursuant to Min-
nesota Statutes 197.46 to receive evidence, testimony and to rule on the
question of whether the City has just and proper cause to dismiss Lee Rundberg
from the employment of the Fire Department,. City of Edina, Minnesota.
A hearing in the matter was convened on January 11, 1977, in the City of Edina
for the above - stated purpose. Briefs were submitted by council for the parties
and were received by the arbitrators on March 7, 1977, after which the matter
was considered closed.
FINDINGS OF FACT -
1. Lee Rundberg, an honorably discharged veteran, has been em-
ployed by the City of Edina as a fire fighter with the Edina Fire Department
since April, 1970.
2. On or about February 24, 1976, he was notified, in writing, of
the City's intent to discharge him and of his right to request a veteran's
preference hearing under Minn. Stat. 197.46.
3. On April 16, 1976, Lee Rundberg, through his attorneys, requested,
in writing, a hearing concerning his discharge.
4. On or about August 25, 1976, Lee Rundberg was furnished with
written notice of the charges against him.
W
Page 2
5. Pursuant to Minn. Stat. 197.46, a board of three persons was
appointed to conduct the hearing. The panel consisted of Harold Hawkins,
Peter Obermeyer and George Jacobs.
6. On January 11, 1977, a veteran's preference hearing was held
before this panel. The City of Edina presented three witnesses: Robert Buresh,
Director of Public Safety and Fire Chief; Ted Paulfranz, Assistant Fire Chief;
and Warren Hyde, City Manager. The City of Edina was represented at the
hearing by Douglas E. Ray, Esq., Dorsey, Windhorst, Hannaford, Whitney &
Halladay. Mr. Rundberg appeared personally as a witness and presented one
additional witness, Dennis Cain, a member of the Edina Fire Department.
Mr. Rundberg was represented by attorneys Virginia K. Ekola and Lila Shapero
of Ekola, Palmer,Rose & Shapero.
7. A court reporter was present at the hearing and prepared a
written transcript of the proceeding.
8. At hearing, the City of Edina established the factual alle-
gations of Charge No. 1 of the Statement of Charges furnished Lee Rundberg
which provides:
(1) On January 31, 1975, Firefighter Rundberg was assigned to
complete inspections in Zone B, the City Hall area. He did not
complete the zone until June 30, 1975. The zone could have been
completed within five to ten working days. Although Firefighter
Rundberg was assigned other duties in addition to inspecting
during this period, the extent of his other duties should not have
interfered with his completion of the zone by March 31, 1975.
During this period, on April 22, 1975, Firefighter Rundberg met
with Chief Robert Buresh. When asked why he had not yet com-
pleted his zone, Firefighter Rundberg admitted that he had been
just, riding around not doing his assigned job. Chief Buresh told
Firefighter Rundberg to check out and in on the radio on each
call. He never did check-out and in as ordered. Firefighter
Rundberg was also told to provide a complete list of his inspections
for 1975. On May 8, 1975, he provided Chief Buresh with a list
of 21 inspections completed between February 7, 1975, and April
22, 1975. Only seven were in his assigned zone.
9. At hearing, the City of Edina established the factual allegations
of Charge No. 2 of the Statement of Charges furnished Lee Rundberg which provides:
(2) On December 10, 1975, Firefighter Rundberg was assigned
exclusively and on a full -time basis, to conduct inspections in
Zone I, the Southdale area, a zone that should have been com-
pleted in ten working days. He did not complete this zone until
February 6, 1976, despite being informed that the Department
wanted all zones completed by the end of 1975.
�1
-E
r
During this time period, on January 28 and January 30, 1976,
Firefighter Rundberg used Fire Department vehicles to attend
to personal business at the local Post Office. This personal
business was conducted on City time during normal working
hours and without authorization. In addition, certain unex-
plained miles and excessive delays appeared on Firefighter
Rundberg's daily activity report for January 29, 1976.
10. Although Mr. Rundberg was assigned, in a full -time basis, to
conduct basic maintenance inspections in Zone I, the Southdale area, during
the time period at issue in Charge No. 2, no inspections appeared in the
official record of the City of Edina for the dates December 15, 19, 22, 23,
24, 26, 31, 1975, and January 2, 5,6, 7, 12, 14, 15, 19, 21, 22, 23, 1976.
Although Mr. Rundberg testified with the aid of notes, he failed to provide
any explanation for his failure to conduct inspections on December 23, Jan-
uary 5, January 12, January 15 and January 19. He was on duty for all of
these dates. While Mr. Rundberg sought to explain his activities for certain
of the days on which no inspections were recorded, his explanations revealed
that, while assigend to full -time inspection duties in the Southdale zone,
he spent a number of days attending to unassigned activities to the detriment
of his assigned duties.
11. Although Mr. Rundberg sought to establish that he had been
discriminatorily treated, we find that Mr. Rundberg's assignment to inspection
duties was not discriminatory and that Mr. Rundberg has not been the victim
of selective enforcement.
LAW -
In State ex rel_ Hart v. Common Council of Duluth 1893, 53 MN 238, 244, 55 N.W.118,
120, was the case in which the question of what constituted sufficient cause to
discharge an employee for incompetency, was stated as follows:
" 'cause' or 'sufficient cause' means 'legal cause' and not
any cause which the council may think sufficient. The cause
must be one which specifically relates to and affects the
administration of the office and must be restricted to
something of a substantial nature directly affecting the
rights and interest of the public. The cause must be one
touching the qualifications of the officer or his perfor-
mance of its duties, showing that he is not a fit or proper
person to hold the office. An attempt to remove an officer
for any cause not affecting his competency or fitness would
be an excess of power and equivalent to an arbitrary removal.
in the absence of any statutory specification the sufficiency
of the cause should be determined with reference to the
character of the office and the qualifications necessary to
fill it."

Ha env. State Civil Service Board 282 MN 296, 164 N.W. 2d 629 - 1969.)
i In 1969, in Hagen v. State Civil Service Board supra the Capitol Court clari-
fied further the language just quoted from Hart supra stating on Page 299:
" Under this definition it appears that the cause or reason for
dismissal must relate to the manner in which the employee
performs his duties,and the evidence showing the existence of_
reasons for dismissal must be substantial.
i
This same standard has been repeated and followed in every case since 1969.
CONCLUSIONS -
After having heard all of the evidence adduced at the hearing and after re-
viewing all of the records, exhibits and proceedings therein, the arbitration
panel makes the following conclusion in the above matter:
The Employer has proven that there is just cause sufficient to warrant term-
ination of Lee Rundberg from the Fire Department of the City of Edina, Minn.
Accordingly that decision is entered into this record.

league of minnesota cities
TO: All Member-Officials
(c /o Mayor, and Manager or Clerk)
SUBJECT: 1977 Nominations for Officers and Directors
This is a request for your advice in proposing candidates for Officers and Direc-
tors of the League. At the 1977 Annual Meeting, June 9th in Rochester, we as
members of the League will elect a President, Vice President and four Directors
for three -year terms. The assignment of the Nominating Committee is to propose
candidates for those offices.
This year the Nominating Committee will work with guidelines for Board represen-
tation, which were developed as a result of the deliberations of past nominating
committees. Those guidelines appear on the reverse side of this letter. We will
also work with the enclosed map, which shows the location of cities that will con-
tinue to be represented on the Board after the June, 1977 election. Taken together,
these two documents indicate that the League in 1977 will need to add Board members
from the Twin Cities area as well as other locations.
The Nominating Committee is planning to hold its first meeting the last week of
April and it would be helpful to have your input by April 15. If you know an
official who should be considered for nomination, please give his or her name
and a brief resume of qualifications to me or the League staff. This communication
can be as informal as you wish; a phone call is all that-is needed.
Our goal is to make sure that any good candidate is considered. Whether or not to
let an individual know that you are submitting his or her name is, of course, up to
you, but it should be with the understanding that as with any group, not every
good candidate is nominated. In any event, the Nominating Committee itself makes
it a practice to confirm the fact that an individual is willing to serve before
presenting his or her name to the annual meeting.
On behalf of the Nominating Committee, I want to thank you in advance for your help
and to assure you that all suggestions will be seriously considered.
Sincerely,
Tom Jo son

Guidelines for Board Representation
1. Geographic and population size representation. There has been a conscious effort
to see that different parts of the state are represented on the Board, as well as
the different sizes of cities that are among the League's constituency.
2. Twin Cities area / Outstate balance. While there are no specific seats on the
Board reserved for Twin Cities area or Outstate members, it has been a consistent
practice to maintain a rough balance of Board members from these areas.
3. Elected /appointed balance. Traditicnally both elected and appointed municipal
officials have participated in all aspects of the League activities, including
membership in the Board of Directors. Although no specific number of seats on
the Board are reserved for elected as distinct from appointed officials, it has
been a consistent practice to have a majority of the Board composed of elected
officials. Furthermore, there has been some effort to provide an opportunity
for a variety of appointed officials (e.g., clerks, city managers, attorneys,
assessors, etc.) to serve on the Board.
4. Rotation of membership. In view of the fact that the League has more than 700
member cities, any individual who serves a full term on the Board is not nor-
mally considered for another Board term. However, persons with Board experience
are often considered as potential officers.

LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY
LEGISLATIVE SESSION MOVING SLOWLY.
The first six years under changed legislative majority leadership were marked
by the .large volume of legislation,introduced,.,each session and.the. corresponding
amount of that.legislation that -was passed and signed into law. Such action.is
common with change in party leadership.
This year, however, a new mood is apparent in the legislative.process. Lobbyists
are commenting on the slowness of the session. Few bills were introduced early in
the session. The bills that were introduced moved more slowly through the legislative
process, and many bills were sidetracked for- _futher study during the interim between
legislative sessions. Informal sources state that this session is- viewed as a
review and clean -up session by party leadership in both - houses.
As of April .1, only four bills had passed.atid been signed into law. The pace
is beginning to quicken somewhat with 21 laws enacted as -of April 15th. Still,
this is substantially less than the amount of.legislation passed in the recent past
for the corresponding-period of time. Both houses of the Legislature and the
Governor's: Office are talking about-streamlining governmental agencies and procedurally
changing governmental program effectuation. You can expect -to see research and
study in these areas .during the interim with.reorganization packages likely to appear
the second half of the biennium.
-1977 OMNIBUS TAX _BILL
Drafting is just beginning on the 1977 Omnibus Tax Bill. Little is presently
known about its content. Rumor is that the city share of Local Government Aid
.funding will be increased. A corresponding effort to reduce the yearly percentage
increase in Department.of Revenue imposed levy limitations from 6 percent to 5 percent
may be attempted.
i
AMENDMENTS TO UNEMPLOYMENT LAW
The first bill of city interest to be passed into law this session as
Laws 1977, Chapter 4 was an amendment to the State.Unemployment Act, now applicable
to cities. The amendment- provides that an employee-,,must have earned, $750 (previously,
$500) from terminated employment and must have worked fifteen (previously eighteen)
credit weeks within that employment. The formula for establishing the weekly benefit
amount has also been changed.. Individuals who voluntarily leave their.employment
or who are discharged for misconduct are disqualified ..from.receiving.unemployment
compensation benefits.and from receiving waiting week credit for the period of their
unemployment until they have earned four times their weekly benefit amount through
newly acquired employment.
UNIFORM ELECTION DAY BILL
Heavy lobbying efforts by cities has slowed the momentum of the Uniform Election
Day bill, sponsored by Schaaf in the Senate and Corbid in the House. The bill has
not passed out of committee in either house and is not expected, at least at this
time, to pass during this legislative session.
The bill provides for uniform election dates in the odd- numbered year for all,
local government elected officials. When twice the number of persons to be elected
file for a local office, a primary election on the- second Monday in September would
be mandated. The bill provides state reimbursement to cities and towns for election
expenses of up to $1 for each person who voted.or $100, whichever is greater.
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
The recent Joint Task Force on Tax Increment Financing, sponsored by Minnesota
Cities, resulted in legislation drafted to consolidate the present widely - scattered
state. law in the area. The first legislation to be introduced on tax increment
financing was a bill authored by .Senator Davies seeking to repeal tax increment
financing. The League of Cities drafted legislation consolidating the present laws
i
was then introduced. A week ago, a new House version modifying the League of
Cities bill was introduced. The status of tax increment financing is in the great
state of confusion. Phil Cohen predicts that tax increment financing will remain
in some form after the legislative session but with a number of restrictions not
presently existing in the law.
SHADE TREE DISEASE CONTROL'
Senator Humprey's shade tree disease control bill has passed the Senate and
both the Senate and House versions are presently in the House Appropriations
Committee. The bill originally appropriated $20 million for grants to cities for
sanitation programs and $5 million for grants for reforestation programs. Grants
from the State to cities would not exceed 50 percent of the cost for each tree up
to $50 per tree, and would be limited to grants to any city in any year for not
more than one -half of the number of trees removed in the sanitation program in the
previous year. The cost of shade tree disease control programs would be a special
levy not subject to the overall levy limitations.
The House and Senate versions differ. There is a strong possibility that the
bills will go to conference committee prior to final passage. The bill, however,
seems to be the "hop on the bandwagon" bill of this session and is expected to
pass in some form before the end of the session.
MUSE FILE ONE - HUMAN SERVICES WAYS AND MEANS BILL
House File 1, authored by Rep. McCarron, and described by proponents as a human
services ways and means bill moved quickly through the House but is presently tied
up in committee in the Senate. This measure finally caught the attention of the press
and has been widely publicized over the last couple weeks. For that reason, I will
give the bill only summary attention.
The bill is intended to streamline state funding of social services such as
adoption, mental health, mental retardation, detoxification, child protection, and
public health services. The planning and appropriation responsibilities would
be vested in the County Board. Barring unforeseen circumstances, it is unlikely
that the-measure with pass the Senate this session.
The last day of the legislative session is May 23.

Review Process
The process of setting guidelines, inviting proposals, and review-
ing applications for the "bonus funds" has been a lengthy, public
process extending over the past six months. In September and
October 1976, the Metropolitan Council Housing and Redevelopment
Authority Advisory Committee began discussion of what might be
appropriate priority activities for Community Development Block
Grant bonus funds. After several public meetings, the recommen -.
dation which was approved by the Metropolitan Council in November
1976 stated that:

"Priority in CD Bonus Funds should be given to those
activities which will facilitate construction of large
family units on a scattered basis, such as acquisition
and write -down of land, and preparation of sites for
such construction."
All communities within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area and
those designated as Freestanding Growth Centers-were notified
of the availability of the funds, the priority activities, and
were invited to submit a Notification of Intent to Apply by
January 18, 1977, with full applications due February 18, 1977.
Twelve communities notified the Council of their intent to apply.
These were reviewed by the Advisory Committee and given a'preli-
minary high or low priority.
Additional guidelines for ranking the applications were discussed
and approved by the Committee at a meeting on February 8, 1977.
They were as follows:
1. Highest priority will be given to applications which propose
activities directly connected with a specific housing project
(or projects) of 3 or 4 bedroom units on a scattered basis
and with which Section 8 Rent Assistance Funds will be avail -
able.' Applications within this category will be ranked
according to the community _priority determined in the
Allocation Plan.
2. Next priority will be given to applications w
activities which will facilitate construction
units on a scattered basis, but which may not

3. Lowest priority will be given to applications which propose

Within any of these categories, the amount of funds being requested
in relation to the units to be constructed may be used as•:a further

The preliminary review priorities were sent back to the communities
who had notified the Advisory Committee of their intent to apply.
Subsequently, the eight cities listed above submitted applications

April 4, 1977
After all applications were received on February 18, 1977, the
Metro HRA Advisory Committee held two public meetings to review
and rank the applications. Their.recommendations were reviewed
by the Human Resources Committee and approved by.the Metropolitan
Council on March 24, 1 -977. A copy of this action is'attached for
your information.
Housing Opportunity Plan Obj-ect.ives.and Priorities,
The primary objective of the Housing Opportunity Plan (HOP) is to
broaden housing choice for low -and moderate- income persons by
encouraging development of subsidized housing I in areas which have
limited low -and moderate - income housing opportunities at present.
The Plan allocates subsidized housing units to communities within
the urbanized area and to freestanding. growth centers in the region
according to a priority area formula which relates to the availa-
bility of jobs; and availability of shopping .facilities,.communities
are ranked as first, second, or third priority areas. Freestanding
communities are a separate, .fourth category.
Numerical goals have also been established for each community
based on a six -part formula which averages each community's share
of the Area's total households, anticipated household growth,
employment, anticipated ;,employment growth, low- and - moderate - income
households in need, and subtracts the existing supply of subsidized
housing.. Three - year and ,ten -year goals for each community have
been established using the formula..
In addition, policy guidelines for the distribution of units between -
family and elderly needs are establ.ished.by the HOP. Because the
vast majority of subsidized housing built in the Area has been for
elderly, each community must Man to.provide at least 60 percent
of its subsidized units for families (the Area -wide need is for 60%
family and 40% elderly.) The critical need is for family units
containing three-or more .bedrooms since few are available for ren-
tal within the existing fair market rents and almost none have been
proposed under the Section 8 New Construction program.
Thus, the guidelines for ranking the applications have been estab-
lished to.carry out the objectives and priorities of the HOP.
Discussion and Ranking of Proposals
Three applications meet the highest priority guidelines -- Golden
Valley, Robbinsdale, and Coon Rapids - -by proposing activities
directly connected with specific Section 8 New Construction pro -
posals which have been submitted for Section 8.Bonus Funds. One
other proposal from Plymouth partially meets the highest priority
guidelines.

The Golden Valley proposal, located in a HOP first priority com-
munity, is-to assist the development of a duplex, fourplex, and
sixplex on scattered sites. An application for Section 8 New
Construction funds for these sites is also being recommended for
funding. This proposal meets the criteria for highest priority
among all proposals.
Robbinsdale, also a HOP first priority community, proposes two
scattered sites for developing 3- bedroom townhouses and a third
site for an elderly development. The City has indicated that the
family proposal..can be considered separate from the elderly, thus
only the family portion of the application is recommended for .
funding. -Since the resulting developments will have more units
per site than the Golden Valley proposal, the application is
ranked lower.
Coon Rapids, a HOP third priority community, proposes to assist
a smalldevelopment of 2- bedroom and 3- bedroom units. Following.
the HOP priorities, it is ranked below Golden Valley and Rob -
binsdale.
Plymouth, a HOP second priority community, proposes to assist in'
the development of 3- bedroom townho:uses.on several sites within
a Planned Unit Development. However, the application for Section
8 funds has not been submitted by the developer. Another developer
has submitted an application for Bonus Section 8 Funds on a diffe-
rent site-in the City and is being recommended for funding. This
puts the- application for CDBG funds in a position of partially
meeting the .first priority guidelines.
Two applications have been submitted which fall into the second
priority guidelines and a third partially meets the guidelines.
Bloomington, a HOP first priority community, proposes to assist
in the development of 3 -or.4- bedroom units.on several scattered
sites:. This application is.directed toward all large family units.
Sites have not been designated %for .the - developments.
Edina, a HOP .first priority community proposes to assist the
development of large family, small family, and elderly subsidized
housing through land "write- down" incentives. Considerable dis-
cussion and correspondence has occurred between the City and the
HUD area office over concept and eligibility of the incentive pro -
gram. The latest determination from HUD is that the activities
are eligible under the CDBG program. Edina needs additional sub-
sidized housing to meet the goals of its Housing Assistance Plan.

family), unspecified sites and the large amount of requested fund-

ing, the application is ranked below Bloomington for the purpose
of the Bonus CD funds ranking.
The application from Minneapolis was discussed at some length and
finally - recommended to be ranked seventh out of the eight projects.
This application proposes to assist in the development of family..
subsidized units on a site located in south Minneapolis where no
subsidized housing presently exists. However, because.the specific
development proposal has not been finalized for the site, and be-
cause it appeared that the development proposed to be assisted
would probably not contain any 3- bedroom units.the-application was
ranked in this order. It should be noted that a proposal for Sec-
tion 8 Bonus Funds on a different site has been recommended for
funding.
One application has been submitted which falls into the third pri-
ority guidelines.
Richfield, a HOP first priority community, proposes to assist the
development of modest -cost housing for large families. The acti-
vities relate to the third priority guidelines for homeownership
for moderate income households. Thus, it is ranked below all
others.
a
A chart listing pertinent information for each application and show
ing the ranking of the applications is.attached for your information.
All applications appear to meet the eligibility guidelines for CD
Funds and it is recommended that all applications be approved for
funding.
We are pleased to have the opportunity to participate in this CDBG
program which supports Areawide Housing Opportunity Plans and look `
forward to implementation of the Plan and continued participation
in the program.

ZERO BASE PLANNING AND BUDGETING
Workshop conducted by The Management Resource Corp
Fkurpose: To show how to integrate Zero Base Bti_dgeting and planning into
existing planning and budgeting processes. This management
group feels ZBB is valuable but won't stand alone. The attached
material on ZBB was handed out at the workshop for us to read
before the session began. It was a good thing that this material
was available because the workshop took off from a point beyond
_the content of the article. (If you,have not read this article
or are not very familiar with ZBB..best to read it now.. before
conclusions).
Conclusions:
Once the priorities have been established (ranking of the decision
packages) then get into identifying the planning principles.
Zero Base Budgeting and Planning forces decentralized planning. It..
allows higher -level managers the opportunity to bring a broader view
to the ranking of priorities and to make program trade -offs.
Besides setting the priorities, a ranking of the level of servieeto be
provided that is: adequate, minimal or exemplary is assigned to each---
activity (activity = any item that can be budgeted). _==
Look at alternatives ... what would happen if an activity is not funded.
Build on whatever planning and budgeting process you have..and don't
plan to start anew in x every area
Put most of your pkAining and budgeting effort into areas that have
flexibility.
ZERO -BASE BUDGETING
[continued from preceding page]
the higher level listed for another pro-
gram. Thus, when the funds are finally
allocated, the low- priority program
might not make the list at all.
Who makes the final decisions on
spending and performance levels?
At each echelon of management with-
in an agency, consolidated sets of pack-
ages are put together into larger
rankings.
"The process," says the OMB guide-
lines, "is explicitly designed to allow
higher -level managers the opportunity
to bring their broader perspectives to
bear on program priorities by allowing
them to rank the decision packages and
make program trade - offs."
The end product in each case is the
consolidated ranking of packages that
forms the basis for the expenditure esti-
mates that an agency or department
sends to OMB.
The various consolidated sets are then
to be used by the OMB in making up the
final budget estimates for submission by
the White House to Congress.
Can decisions be appealed?
Yes, there will be provision for re-
views of the managers' decisions. High -
level disputes will be settled by the
President.
Can a single set of rules be made to fit
every agency?
That is not required. Each agency is
instructed to work out its own zero -base
system in conformance with the guide-
lines set up by the OMB.
What are some of the benefits expect-
ed from ZBB?
President Carter has said he looks for
it to-
* Focus the budget process on a com-
prehensive analysis of objectives and
needs.
• . Combine planning and budgeting
into a single process.
• Cause managers at every level to
evaluate in detail the cost - effectiveness
of their operations.
• Expand management participation
in planning and budgeting at all levels of
the Federal Government.
The President summed up this way in
his memorandum to agency chiefs: "By
working together under a zero -base
FINANCE TRENDS
------------------- - - - - --
► Savings bonds. Investor purchases
of U.S. savings bonds during the first
quarter of 1977 —at 2.1 billion dol-
lars—were. at their highest levels
since 1945. Redemptions also in-
creased, however. Net purchases for
the first quarter of 1977 totaled 227
million dollars, compared with 213
million dollars during the first quar-
ter of 1976.
► Mortgage rates. The effective in-
terest rate on conventional loans to
purchase new homes fell for the
third straight month in March, to
8.97 per cent. The interest rate for
February was 8.99 per cent. The
rate to buy existing homes fell for
the sixth consecutive month, to 8.95
per cent.
► Treasury bills. The Treasury's lat-
est sale of 13 -week bills saw yields
fall to 4.561 per cent from 4.585 per
cent a week earlier. The return on
26 -week bills slid to 4.767 per cent
from 4.846 per cent at the previous
sale.
► Telephone bonds. Southern Bell
Telephone & Telegraph Company's
275 million dollars of 8Y8 per cent
bonds were priced to yield 8.17 per
cent in 40 years. It was the sixth
debt issue floated by a Bell company
since early December, and offered
the lowest return since then.
► Stock market. The Dow Jones in-
dustrial average rallied from its low
of 914.73 on April 6, gaining a total
of 32.27 points to close at 947 on
April 14.
► New York City. The budget for
the fiscal year beginning July 1 calls
for reductions of 5 to 10 per cent in
the commercial -rent tax and gener-
al- corporation tax. With new rev-
enues from federal programs, the
city is expected to avoid further
cutbacks of its employes.
► Religious exemptions. The Inter-
nal Revenue Service declared the
Church of Scientology of New York
exempt from federal income taxes.
But New York City's tax commission
denied tax exemptions for property
owned. by the Rev. Sun Myung
Moon's Unification Church, stating
that it had failed to prove that it
operated exclusively for religious
purposes.
budgeting system, we can reduce costs
and make the Federal Government
more efficient and effective."
Do experts agree with the President's
optimistic view?
Howard Messner of the Congressional
Budget Office recently ran a pilot ZBB
experiment for the House Appropri-
ations Committee at the Consumer
Product Safety Commission. He con-
cluded that zero -base budgeting "will
make available a lot of important infor-
mation to the agency, and it is a useful
discipline."
Arthur Kallen, director of the Office
of Budget and Finance at the Treasury
Department, believes the system "will
lead to better and more thoughtful at-
tention to priorities."
Are there any drawbacks?
Initially —this year, at least — planning
the budget under ZBB is expected to
take more time, work, personnel and
money.
And preparation for decision -unit
summaries and their budget packages
will generate mountains of paper —
again, especially at the start. The ZBB
pilot operation for the Appropriations
Committee, according to officials,
ground out three to four times the usual
volume of paper work.
Agencies, it is also noted, could waste
a good deal of time on internal bickering
over program priorities. And special -in-
terest groups inside and outside Govern-
ment could turn out to be more
influential than the ZBB rankings.
Does anyone expect a program man-
ager to submit an analysis so weak that it
could possibly lead to zero funding for
the program?
Veteran budget planners do not look
for this to happen very often. But that is
not seen as a requirement for success of
ZBB. Decision packages or whole sets of
them can be omitted from the priority
lists at any level of the budget process.
Admittedly, a move by an official to
drop any program_ or activity under his
control would not seem to fit the usual
pattern of empire building that is found
in almost any bureaucracy. But some
offsetting forces are expected to make
themselves felt.
For example, if OMB is unyielding in
the imposition of expenditure ceilings,
an agency chief may have little choice
but to lop off one or more lower - priority
programs.
Even 'at intermediate- echelon levels,
moreover, an official may find it neces-
sary, or, at least desirable to wipe out an
activity or project in order to make
room for the expansion or addition of
another program that the official rates
higher.
The special attention that zero -base
budgeting gives to priorities is counted
92 U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT, April 25, 1977
FINANCE
WHAT ZERO -BASE BUDGETING. IS
AND HOW CARTER WANTS TO USE IT
Newest idea for reforming
the Federal Government and
cutting cost is the start -from-
scratch budget. For a look at
how it is supposed to work—
President Carter is wasting no time
launching the Government on a revolu-
tionary approach to federal spending.
The system, known as zero -base bud-
geting, or ZBB, is the most radical of a
long series of efforts by incoming Ad-
ministrations to bring the skyrocketing
federal budget under control.
Until now, budget planners have tak-
en each year's outlays as the starting
point, and have gone on to decide how
much more —or how much less —money
to propose for the year ahead.
Under Carter, officials are to have no
such easy task. They will be required to
start from scratch and consider how
much money, if any, each program
should have to spend.
Carter heard about this
new concept shortly after
he became Governor of
Georgia, and he ordered
it installed there. While TH
campaigning for Presi-
dent, he pledged to adopt OF
the system for the Feder- BU
al Government.
Carter has now notified
all heads of agencies and
departments to switch to
ZBB in planning the Ad-
ministration's first bud-
get, which will go to
Congress next January for
the year that starts Oct. 1,
1978. Directives on how
to proceed have gone out
from the Office of Man-
agement and Budget.
The new system raises
many questions among
taxpayers. Here are the
answers, based on the lat-
est OMB plans and inter -.
views with key officials.
How will officials go
about using zero -base
budgeting?
The first step is for ex-
ecutives at all levels to
determine the objectives
of each program, to set
performance standards
U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT
and to define the services or products
the program is to deliver.
The next job is to identify the areas —
or decision units —for which managers
will prepare specific budget plans. A
research project, for example, might be
one decision unit.
A manager of one or more units will
study alternative ways to achieve the
objectives already set, then select the
most attractive and consider different
levels of spending and performance.
A unit manager will prepare budget
plans, called decision packages, for two
or more spending levels.
First is the minimum level that would
permit a program to continue on any
meaningful basis. Officials have been
warned by OMB that this level is expect-
ed to be set below current outlays.
Another package will show the addi-
tional money, personnel and materials
that would be needed to match current
performance and objectives.
Still other packages will estimate the
funds and personnel that would be

DGET PROBLEM
needed for other performance levels,
including a new, higher level.
Who decides which decision package
is to be sent to higher officials?
Initially the decision -unit manager
ranks the packages, or spending -level
plans, in each set —that is, for each pro-
gram or activity. But that is just the
start.
The official at the next higher level
must consolidate the decision packages
for all units under his supervision into a
single ranking list.
For example— depending on funds
available —a manager's consolidated pri-
ority list for all units under his control
might call for the minimum- spending
packages for programs A and B, fol-
lowed by current -level funding for pro-
gram C and then, as a fourth priority,
the most costly and ambitious package
for program A.
Note: In this type of ranking, a higher -
echelon manager might assign a lower
priority to even the minimum- funding
level of one decision unit than he does to

RESOLUTION OF CONDOLENCE
WHEREAS, Mrs. Barbara Casselman was greatly concerned for the quality
of the environment and of life in the world about her; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Barbara Casselman served as a member of the Environ-
mental Quality Commission of the City of Edina from March, 1974, until her
death on April 15, 1977; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Barbara Casselman served as Chairman of the Environmental
Quality Commission of the City of Edina from June, 1976, until her death; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Barbara Casselman served as a member of the Recycling
Commission of the City of Edina from April, 1976, until her death; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Barbara Casselman gave freely of her time as a dedicated
member of .the Edina Open Space Committee; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Barbara Casselman, as a part of her great interest in the
political life of her community and her country, served for many years as an
Election Judge for the City of Edina; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Barbara Casselman continued to serve the City of Edina,
her fellow man, and provided inspiration to all despite her failing physical
health during the past months;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Edina City Council extend its
heartfelt sympathy to the family of
MRS. BARBARA CASSELMAN
during the time of their bereavement; and
BE IT FURTHER REVOLVED that a copy of this resolution be spread upon
the pages of the Minutes Book of the City of Edina and that a suitable copy be
presented to her family.
on to make such trade -offs increasingly
likely.
Do budget officials expect the new
system to work?
. Some, at least, appear more than a
little skeptical. And few look for impres-
sive accomplishments in efficiency or
savings in the first year or two.
Many budget planners, moreover, are
highly dubious about the wisdom of im-
posing a revolutionary system on all fed-
eral agencies and departments at once.
They would prefer to see it tried out on
an experimental basis.
Still, these officials seem to want the
new system to work. And much depends
on the drive to be provided by OMB
Director Bert Lance and by President
Carter.
"Some knocking of heads together,"
says a veteran planner, "could make a
lot of difference."
Is Carter going to take a tough stance?
The President is committed to balance
the budget by fiscal 1981. And he clearly
counts on ZBB as a tool that will help
make that possible.
Thus there is every reason for him to
exert a great deal of pressure on Admin-
istration officials to get them to make a
real effort to put ZBB into full operation
in a hurry.
Has industry tried ZBB?
Yes, an increasing number of compa-
nies are using the device. Many execu-
tives have called it an effective device
for controlling costs, though, admittedly,
corporate accounting is different from
Government budgeting.
Is the so- called sunset- review plan
also to be used in balancing the budget?
Quite possibly. A bill providing such a
review process is picking up support in
Congress. Administration officials have
expressed general approval of the idea —
with reservations about ' its impact on
some of their programs.
How would this review work?
The authorization committees of Con-
gress would conduct a periodic sunset
review of each Government program
before authorizing its continuation.
The review would evaluate the merits
of a program against its cost to see if
extension or extinction seems better, or
whether continuation should be on the
same or a higher or lower level.
How could Congress find time to
make such thorough studies every year?
Congress would not try. Programs
would be scheduled for a fresh review
on a staggered basis every five years.
And, just to make sure that a specific
determination is made every five years,
the measure provides that failure to
reauthorize a program will mean an
automatic demise after the scheduled
date for review — though there is some
provision for temporary extensions.

warned the firms that they have an
affirmative obligation to safeguard
confidential information in their

decided to issue the warning after
learning that legal secretaries in

urged agency heads to put their

noted that the amount of such de-
posits had recently declined, and
said he would keep a close eye on
the progress.
n FIRING WORKERS for attend-
ing night school can be lawful. One
company discharged an employe
following his stated intention to go
to night law school. A State court of
appeals upheld the dismissal of the
worker's suit against the firm, re-
jecting the claim that his right to
continued education was a matter of
public policy. The court noted that
the State did not have a law protect-

tape- recording meetings to discuss
grievances under its collective -bar-

tend when this was not permitted.
The National Labor Relations Board
held that the union violated the law,
reasoning that the contract did not
provide for tape recordings and not-

years without them.

DATE: April 15, 1977
SUBJECT: BIDS FOR CIVIL DEFENSE WARNING SIREN
Bids were received for the purchase and installation of a Civil Defense
Warning siren, Thursday, April 14, 1977. This was a rebidding for the siren
whose bids were rejected by the Council on February 28, 1977, as being con-
siderably over the estimated cost due to the location and installation of
electrical power to the site. The site was relocated to a point on public
right of way, adjacent to St. Alban's Church at Gleason Road and Valley View
Road. This site was chosen as it provides the best coverage for the South-
west quadrant of the City and is adjacent to NSP power lines.
Four bids were received as follows:
Batzli Electric Company
1805 -I1 South First Street
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Electric Service Company
1609 Chicago Avenue
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Lehn Electric
214 East Main Street
Anoka, Minnesota
Alerting Communicators of America
6603 W. Donges Bay Road 104 N.
Mequon, Wisconsin
Federal 1000 AT $ 7,400.00
Allertor 125 $ 4,500.00
Federal 1000 AT $ 5,720.00
No Bid
We recommend award to the low bidder, Electric Service Company, for a total of
$4,500.00. This is well under the estimated cost of $7,500.00. Also, the
City will receive 50% of the cost from the Federal Government and up to 25%
from State funds.

M E M O R A N D U M
TO: Warren C. Hyde
City Manager
FROM: Bert Merfeld
SUBJECT: Civil Defense Warning System
On February 16, 1977, the City of Edina requested bids for the acquisition and
installation of a civil defense warning system to be located at one of the
following locations:
Northeast corner of the intersection of Gleason Road and Creek
Valley Road, or 150 feet south of water tower in Creek Valley
Park. Both sites are identified by stakes. Determination to
be made at time of bid award.
The bids we received on that date were considerably higher than our estimated
cost and the amount that had been budgeted for this warning system. (See
j attached tabulation of bids.)
1977 Budget Proposal dated 7/19/76:
Estimated cost of purchase and installation of a 10 HP air
j warning system at this time is $7,500.00. Under a matching
fund program, the $7,500.00 would be funded as follows:
Federal Civil Defense - $3,750.00
State Civil Defense - $1,875.00
Edina Civil Defense - $1,875.00
Bids were also considerably higher than those received by the City of Eden
Prairie in a recent siren installation in that city during 1976. Apparently,
the higher bids were caused by NSP quoting estimated charges of $3,450.00 for
electrical service. In checking with NSP officials, I was told these charges
could be reduced substantially if we changed the location of the siren by a few
hundred feet and /or that we do some of the electrical service work.
I would, therefore, recommend that we reject all bids received on February 16,
1977, and re- advertise after a new siren location site has been selected and a
determination is made as to how much of the electrical service work can be done
by the City electrician.

11. NEW BUSINESS:.
9. Reorganization of Boards and Commissions.
Attached please find a proposal which was submitted to the City Council
by Fred Richards for the reorganization of .boards and commissions: This proposal F
is being seriously considered by the Council, which -wi•ll probably take action on
April 4, 1977. It is therefore imperative that any comments.that the ?
commissioners have be made known, to the Council prior to that date. j
My own opinion is that this consolidation is good, and that it may go
farther by consolidating the H.R.A. and Board of Appeals into the point Planning
Commission and Environmental Quality Commission board. At the last meeting several
__P_lann_ing Commissioners - responded negatively to the fact that there would be 15
members on each commission and suggested that a membership of nine would be more
appropriate. I concur with this analysis and urge th e commission to make their
thoughts known by a resolution of recommendation to the City Council.
Ordinance Amendment 801 -A requiring platting of outlots and buildable lot
divisions.
Attached please find a proposed modification to the subdivision ordinance
which generally requires three things. They are:
1: That outlots may be allowed but in order to be built upon at a later
date they must be.platted.
2. That we further .limit the number of lot divisions by requiring platting
In more circumstances. In the past several years the lack of accurate
surveying, which is accomplished via the plat, has caused difficulties on
several occasions.
3. The third change is one which puts into ordinance form the present
procedure of reporting to the City Council that the Planning Commission
has taken action and that the Council should set a hearing date. Presently,
our ordinances require that the Council have a written Planning
Commission recommendation in their hands prior to even.setting the
hearing date.
02 ► 11. Ordinance Amendment 811 -A setting dates.for Council. hearings.
The attached proposed ordinance amendment is similar to the third change
which we are making to the subdivision ordinance. That change identifies'that the
City Council will set a hearing date upon being informed that the Planning
Commission has made a recommendation..

II. New Business:
5. Subdivision Muir Woods 2nd Addition.. C. L. Fraser and M. Weegman. Part
S -77 -4 and of Lot 1, Block 1, Muir Woods. Generally located south of
Paiute Pass and east of Comanche Court.
6. Subdivision. Muir Woods 3rd Addition. C. L. Fraser and.M. Weegman. Part
%/ S -77 -5 of Lot 1, Block 1, Muir Woods. Generally located east of
Comanche Court along Valley View Road.
Refer to: Preliminary plat.
The proponents are requesting subdivision approval for two subdivisions which
are contiguous and located northeast of the Valley View /County Road 18 inter-
change. Both sites .contain steep .slopes and are heavily wooded. These proper..
ties.were divided for tax purposes approximately ten years ago and two separate
tracts exist today. It is assumed 'that a building permit for each tract could
be issued based on present conditions which allow the development of two home -
sites. As can be seen on the attached graphic the access to the proposed
2nd addition is limited to a 20 -foot drive -and a small "Y" for a turn - around.
It is our opinion that that is too limited an area for access to two homesites.
The lots sizes in the 1st addition are 20,000 square feet and 32,500 square
feet. Lot sizes across the street are generally between 13,000 and 14,000 square
feet and, in Iroquois Hills Addition, are as small as 11,200 square feet.
Recommendation: The staff would.recommend approval of Muir Woods 3rd Addition
and denial of Muir Woods 2nd Addition. The approval of Muir Woods.3rd Addition
is conditioned on the following:
1. That the unnplatted tract herein identified as Muir Woods 2nd Addition be
_- incorporated into Muir Woods 3rd Addition as a single lot.
2. That -prior to any development of the site, a tree removal permit be received.
3. That prior to any grading on the site, .a grading permit be received.
We have received numerous petitions and letters regarding this proposed
development from the adjacent single family homeowners and comments especially
regard the loss of trees and wildlife and the grading. The Engineering Department,
however, has reviewed the driveway access as well as the other parts of this
subdivision and has reported that a drive access could. be installed for this
site without any problem and with minimum grading. The petitions and letters
are too numerous to xerox and send to the Commission; however,. they will be made
available at the hearing. The reasons for this recommendation are
1. Thee use is consistent with the Western Edina Plan.

2. The property is now two separate tracts of land which are proposed to be
divided into three tracts of land and would be nearly twice as large as
the surrounding lots. The lot sizes are, however, appropriate for this
hilly and wooded area.
3.. Access to the proposed 2nd Addition for two lots is unacceptable in that
there is not room to turn around without entering onto private property.

Muir Woods 2nd and 3rd Additions.
Refer to: attached graphic.
The proponents are requesting two, two -lot subdivisions of two tracts of
land which were divided from the Muir Woods. Addition several years ago.
Muir Woods 2nd Addition as proposed would be located east of Comanche .Court
and would obtain access by way of a private road from Valley View Road.
Muir Woods 3rd Addition located southerly of the 2nd Addition would create
two lots fronting on Valley View Road. All four lots are in a 25,000 to
30,000 square .foot size range.
The site of both proposed subdivisions is heavily timbered with oaks and
other hardwoods. Slopes on the site are very steep, i.e. 350 - 40%.
It must be assumed that a substantial number of trees must be removed to
construct the proposed access road and dwellings.
Recommendation:
Staff is very reluctant to recommend approval of the proposed subdivisions
due to the characteristics of the site. However, it must be recognized
that the proposed subdivisions are located on separate tracts of land legally
divided in the past. Thus, a request by the owner for a reasonable use of
these parcels is a very difficult request to deny. Staff would submit, .
however, that the two. lots proposed for .Zuir Woods 2nd Addition are not reasonable
in that they must be served by a private road of only twenty feet in width.
Such a road serving only one dwelling, however,'. is adequate.
Staff, thus, recommends denial of Muir Woods 2nd Addition in that access to
the site is inadequate. Staff would, however, recommend approval of a revised
Muir Woods 2nd.Addition which incorporates the two lots of Muir Woods 3rd
and one lot located. on the tract of land presently proposed as Muir Woods.
Approval is contingent on the proponents 1) submitting a soil erosion plan
and 2) obtaining a tree- cutting permit.

Mr. Luce explained he was going to present the two requests together because
they were made by the same proponent. He presented numerous petitions and letters
to the Planning Commission from various neighbors indicating their objections.
He explained two subdivisions are requested because the properties are separate
tracts of land. The first request, Muir Woods 3rd Addition, is located on Valley
View Road and the proponent is requesting to divide the site into two single family
lots. The second parcel, Muir Woods 2nd Addition, is located south of Paiute Pass,
and east of Comanche Court. The proponent is requesting to divide that site into
two single family lots with an access drive onto Valley View Road; thus, if the
request is approved, rezoning to PRD -1 will be necessary to allow for this drive
with PRD -1 allowing only for single family lots. The proposed drive would be
20 feet wide and would have a small turn-a- round. Mr. Luce indicated the area is
heavily wooded and the topography is with steep slopes. The Engineering Department
had reviewed the request and whether drive would be-possible, and it was their
impression, and that of the staff, that the proposed turn -a -round would be too limited
for two homesites. Therefore, staff recommended the proposed Muir Woods 2nd Addition
not be' approved because of the access drive. Mr. Luce further recommended that Muir
Woods 3rd Addition, which would have access directly onto Valley View Road, be
approved for the following reasons:
1. The use is consistent with the Western Edina Plan.
2. The property is now two separate tracts of land which are proposed to be divided
into three tracts of land and would be nearly twice as large as the surrounding
lots. The lots sizes are, however, appropriate for. this hilly and wooded area.
3. Access to the proposed 2nd Addition for two lots is unacceptable in that there
is not room to turn around without entering onto private property.
i

Approval of Muir Woods 3rd Addition should be contingent upon:
1. That the unplatted tract herein identified as Muir Woods 2nd Addition be
incorporated into Muir Woods 3rd Addition as a single lot.
2. That prior to any development of the site, a tree removal permit be received.
3. That prior to any grading on the site, a grading permit be received.
4. Parkland Dedication be required prior to final plat approval.
Mr. Roger Stageberg, 6609 Paiute Pass, asked if lots in the 2nd Addition
could be appropriately serviced by the 20 -foot wide access drive. Mr. Luce
responded that the 'same type of drive exists in several other areas and that
it was more than adequate for one homesite. He noted that approximately a 10-
foot strip of tax delinquent land owned by the County adjacent to the property
could be purchased by the proponent to widen the.drive to 30 feet. Mr. Stageberg
said he wished to present the views of the neighbors and would address himself
primarily to the 2nd Addition; however, many of the same arguments are also
applicable to the 3rd Addition. He said there was a restrictive covenant which
said no lot in Muir Woods Subdivision could be subdivided and thus people of
Muir Woods had a legal right to prevent the two subdivisions. He also said the
adjacent property owner, Dr. Martin Peper,.was not able to attend the meeting
as.he was out of town, but asked him to say that he, as owner of Lot 1, Block 1,
Muir Woods, did not wish to waive his rights under the restrictive covenant as
written in May, 1958, by George W. Harsh, in which a restriction is provided
for subdivision of Lot 1. He said the surrounding property owners had adequately
expressed their opinions in letters and petitions, and he said that when he looked
at the plat maps at Hennepin County the lot was not in existence and he thus
did not realize such a lot existed. He emphasized that the neighbors -would have..
a driveway in their backyards. Mr. Luce said that the driveway would be
present even if only one lot existed. Mr. Stageberg continued that the driveway
would cause problems in fire protection because of its narrowness. He felt
the road would also cause problems with water drainage because of the steep slope
as water will run off the slope into the backyards of the neighbors.
Mr. Luce clarified that the neighbors. should be made aware that only a court
of law or all the neighbors signing the declaration of covenants and restrictions
can modify those restrictions and that the Planning Commission cannot modify
or recognize them and must act independently from them. He said, however, that
the Planning Coim:ission has held over requests when litigation was pending.
He also said that while the lot may not have shown on Hennepin County's plat
map, they have recognized this division since 1965. Mr. Dunn, the City Engineer,
said tree removal for the driveway may be a problem, but he reassured the neighbors
that the proponents would fill the driveway correctly and it may even result in
an improved drainage situation. Mr. Luce said the proponent has a right to build
on the site, thus it would be very difficult to deny a building permit. In re-
sponse to Mr. C. Johnson, Mr. Luce said the Commission could hold over or deny
the proposed plat of Muir Woods 2nd Addition and require that it be a maximum
of three lots in combination of the two plats. Mr. Stageberg recommended there
be a formal report from the Fire Department as to the accessibility of the
proposed home on the lot referred to as'Muir Woods 2nd Addition.

Mr. Kremer said one alternate possibility to prevent the development of
this property would be for the owner to sell it to the surrounding property
owners and they could keep it as parkland. He asked the proponent if he
had explored this possibility, and the proponent responded that he had not but
felt it was a good one. The neighbors generally agrced and decided to pursue
it further. Mr: C. Johnson moved for approval of Muir Woods 3rd Addition
with the stipulations stated in the staff report and as listed by the staff,
and recommended the Commission hold over the Muir Woods 2nd Addition until the
April 19, 1977, Planning Commission meeting. Mr. G. Johnson seconded. All voted
aye. Motion carried.
