TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sue Hackbarth, Christmas Party Chairman
DATE: October 17, 1977
SUBJECT: CITY OF EDINA EMPLOYEE'S CHRISTMAS PARTY
The 1977 City of Edina Employee's Christmas Party is scheduled for Friday,
December 9th, and will again be held at the Richfield VFW.
As in the past, we are trying to keep the costs down to a bear minimum. Of
course, our largest expenditures are the dinner itself and the band. The
Committee donates many hours of work, with their only compensation being a
small corsage to wear at the party. All of the prizes that are given are
donated, with the exception of the two free dinners. Unfortunately, with
the increase of prices, we have had to raise the ticket cost to $8.00 this
year.(Please see the chart below.)
It is my understanding that the City Council has been discussing the possibility
of contributing to this employee function. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
For each $100 donated, we would be able to reduce the ticket cost by 501.
Any expediency in making a decision on this matter would be appreciated, as
the party is only seven weeks from this Friday. Thank you for your consideration.

Hor d'oeuvres (751 per person)

I enclose three Orders of the District Court granting
the City's Motion for Summary Judgment against Fountainwoods,
together with a memorandum prepared by Judge Lebedoff. This
case was important in that it affirmed the City's ordinances
as being "exclusive" in nature, as well as affirming the action
of the City.Council as being reasonable.
I call your attention especially to the last para-
graph of the Court's memorandum. During the trial, Judge Lebedoff
indicated his personal, nonlegal, opinion along the same lines.
Though the City has no legal obligation to do so, it would be
advisable, as a public relations gesture, to make some agreement
with First Wisconsin National Bank of Milwaukee to ameliorate
the financial hardship that will result from the removal of
its building. Some possibilities might be to extend the time
the building can remain in its present location to a date certain
or upon the happening of an event, such as a sale of the property.
This would allow the Bank to obtain the rental income, deprecia-
tion, and other benefits for an additional period. Of course,
any agreement should be in writing and recorded so as to be
constructive notice to future owners. I have not discussed
this with the attorneys for the Bank, but if you wish to make
such a gesture, I will be happy to initiate discussions. We do
not know yet if the plaintiff intends to appeal. If it does,
they may not be willing to enter into an agreement until the
appeal has been decided. However, if they decide to appeal,

feet of the Flood Plain and reviewed the Flood Plain Ordinance. He explained
that the Federal Government is now in the process of making a re -study to deter-
mine if the existing flood hazard ordinance is accurate. In response to a
question of Councilman Courtney, lie explained that the public has access to
approximately one -third of the Minnehalia Creek corridor. Mr. Hughes also clari-
6/6/77

f ied that flood insurance is required by the Federal Insurance Administration.
(and not by the City Ordinance) only if the dwelling; is in the flood plain. Mr.
Hughes further advised that the ordinance only regulates new construction in the
flood plain. Asking questions concerning the relation of their property to the
flood plain were Messrs. Ray Schmidt, 4528 Oxford Ave., A. 0. Williamson, 5916.
Halifax Ave., Robert Schramm, 5800 View Lane, and Ms. Barbara Smith, 6901
McCauley Trail S. Mayor Van Valkenburg suggested that those with questions
telephone the Planning Department to determine whether or not their property is
actually in the flood plain. Mr. Ray Clark, 6609 Cahill Road, congratulated
Council for their enactment of the.Flood Plain Ordinance, but emphasized that
Council should be cognizant of the fact that many floods are caused by encroach-
ment on a flood plain. No further questions being heard, Councilman Courtney
offered Ordinance No. 815 -A2 for First Reading with waiver -of Second Reading.and
moved its adoption as follows:
ORDINANCE N0. 815 -A2-

SAFETY AWARD RECEIVED BY CITY. Mr. Hyde called Council's.attention to the fact
that the City has been selected.to receive the 1977.Award of Honor in Traffic
Safety Education, Enforcement and Engineering, which award was presented at the
Governor's Safety Award Banquet for the second consecutive year. He advised
that this is the first time that a municipality has been so honored in winning
the "triple crown ". No action was taken.
MC CAULEY HEIGHTS 8TH ADDITION CONTINUED TO JUNE.20, 1977_. As recommended by Mr.
Hughes, Councilwoman Schmidt's motion was seconded by Councilman Richards for.the
continuation of McCauley Heights 8th Addition to June 20, 1977.
Ayes: Courtney, Richards, Schmidt, Shaw, Van Valkenburg
Nays: None
Motion carried.
LOTS 7 AND 8, GRIFFIS SUBDIVISION OF BLOCK 18 MENDELSSOHN DIVISION DENIED. Mr.
Hughes recalled that the division'of Lots 7 and 8, Griffis Subdivision of Block
18 Mendelssohn Division, had•been continued from May 16, 1977, for further
review of the law and of the facts concerning the combination of the two lots.
Mr. Hughes referred to a letter of Mr. Erickson which opined that, although
technically, the proponent is petitioning for a division of Lots 7 and'8 for
tax purposes, the real question is whether the City can be compelled to issue
him a building permit authorizing the construction of a single - family residence.
on Lot 7, so that separate residences will be on each of Lots 7 and 8. Mr.
Keefe, attorney representing Mr. Roy W. Tompkins, recalled that the building
permit had been issued subject to Council approval and.said that he had been
confused as to the proper procedures. It was explained that the City could
properly deny a variance if there is a reasonable basis for finding 1) that
Lot 7 has more than insignificant value as a side yard for the house on Lot 8,
or 2) that construction on Lot.8 would be inconsistent with, and detrimental to,
the character of the neighborhood and otherwise detrimental to the health
safety or general welfare. Mr. George Gould, 6,516. Waterman Ave., said that
he is.a neighbor of the Tompkins. and would oppose ny such variance. Council-
man Courtneyls motion was then.seconded by Councilwoman Schmidt, that -the peti-
tion be denied for the lot division, with the suggestion that the Tomkins now
take the matter to the Board of Appeals. Motion was seconder] by Councilwoman

Schmidt.

of Mr. Ronald Zamansky for the division of Tracts A and B, R.L.S. 1273 (6600
Normandale Road), in order to provide an additional side yard area for the dwell -
ing located on Tract A. Being advised that no new buildable lot is created by
- the proposed lot division, Councilman Courtney offered the following resolution
and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION -
WHEREAS, the following described property is at present a single tract of land:
Tracts A and B, Registered Land Survey No. 1278; and
WHEREAS, the owner has requested the subdivision of said tract into separate
parcels (herein called "Parcels ") described as follows:
Tract A, R.L.S. No. 1278 and that part of Tract B, R.L.S. No. 1278 lying
Westerly of a line run from a point on the North line of said Tract B, a
distance of 40.0 feet Easterly of the Northwest corner thereof to a point
on the South line of Tract B, a distance of 40.0 feet Easterly of the
Southwest corner thereof; and
co Tract B, R. L.S. No. 1278 except that part lying Westerly of a line run from
a point on the North line of said Tract B, a distance of 40.0 feet Easterly
of the Northwest corner thereof to a point on the South line of Tract B,
a distance of 40.0 feet Easterly of the Southwest corner thereof; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined that compliance with the Subdivision and Zoning
Q Regulations of the City of Edina will create an unnecessary hardship and said
Parcels as separate tracts of land do not interfere with the purposes of the
Subdivision and Zoning Regulations as contained in the City.of Edina Ordinance Nos.
801 and 811;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City.of Edina that the
conveyance and ownership of said Parcels as separate tracts of land is hereby
approved and the.requirements and provisions of Ordinance No. 801 and Ordinance
No. 811 are hereby waived to allow said division and.conveyance thereof as
separate tracts of land, but are not waived for any other purpose or as to any
-other provision thereof, and subject, however, to the provision that no further
subdivision be made of said Parcels unless made in compliance with the pertinent
ordinances of the City of Edina or with the prior approval of this Council as may
be provided for by those ordinances.
Motion for adoption of the resolution was seconded by Councilwoman Schmidt.

request of Jerry's Enterprises, Inc., for division of parcels of land located gen-
erally South and East of Vernon Avenue and West of Brookside Avenue between the
grocery store and the hardware store. He explained that, despite the complexity
of the division, the requested action conforms to the City's standards for a
simple lot division inasmuch as no additional buildable parcels will be created.

ions being heard, Councilman Courtney offered the following resolution and moved

SALE OF FORMER OSCAR ROBERTS PROPERTY TO CHURCH OF OUR LADY OF GRACE APPROVED.
Mr. Hyde recalled discussion about three years ago relative to the sale of the
former Oscar Roberts property to the.Church of Our Lady of Grace, and said that
once again fhe matter has come under discussion, with the following understand -
ing having been reached between the Church and the City with respect to the fol-
lowing points: 1) Sale price would be $22,500; 2) Total cash payment would be
$6,000; 3) The sum of $16,500 would be-paid in two equal annual installments of
$6,000 each, with a third payment of $4,500; 4).The. unpaid principal balance
would be secured by a contract for deed and be guaranteed by Robert E. Short;
5) The unpaid principal balance due under the contract will bear interest at the rate
of 7 %% per annum, commencing when the City has removed the gravel and other debris
presently on the property; 6) The City may rezone the property sold to the same
zoning as the adjacent property owned by the Church; 7) The City will give only a
limited warranty deed to the property on payment of the contract; 8) The con
tract will call for acceleration of the debt upon any default, and will require
the Church to keep the property free of liens.while there is any unpaid principal
due under the contract for deed; 9)Edina will receive an opinion from the counsel
for the Church to the effect that the purchase has been duly approved by all nec-
essary church bodies and that the documents have been duly executed and are bind-
ing upon the Church; 10) The Church will pay all unpaid installments of special
assessments commencing with those payable in 1974. Mr. Robert Short, 8 Merilane,
assured the Council that the basic need for acquiring the property was to beautify
the entrance to the church, that they had no intention of building on the pro -
petty or selling it and that they needed the easement only.for the entrance to the
parking lot. Mr. Dunn pointed out that the City.would need to.build a new
storage yard at Braemar for its gravel. Following discussion, Councilman
Courtney's motion authorizing the City Attorney to draft a purchase agreement
(which would stipulate that the City would not remove the cement blocks or the
pile of hardened cement) was seconded by Councilwoman Schmidt.

their ambulance service at its present level. Mr. Hyde cited the fact that the
Edina Fire Department responded to 1,550 calls in 1976 and that Smith Ambulance

Our firm has been requested by Mr. Martin Stein, President
of Edina Theatre Corporation, to assist him in the resolution of
a zoning matter pertaining to Westgate Theatre located west of
France Avenue on Sunnyside.
The specific issue is that Westgate Theatre has ceased its
theatre operation and is in a position to seZZ the theatre to
Edina Cleaners which in turn desires to expand its present Zaun-
dry operation into a portion of the theatre building.
Westgate Theatre, however, is presently within the C -1 Zon-
ing District which does not allow as a principle use, laundry
operations. The C -1 District does however allow dry cleaning
establishments of not more than 2500 sguare feet. In this regard,
we are requesting your consideration of an amendment to Ordinance
811 -A69 to allow as a principle use laundry operations.
Businesses and residents in the area have been contacted
and support an expansion of the laundry operation by Edina Cleaners.
We feet that this is a reasonable request and one which will
benefit Edina Theatre Corporation, Edina Cleaners, and the City
of Edina in the following manner:
1. Appropriate disposition of Westgate Theatre without
adversZy affecting the neighborhood or present tenents of the
bui Zding.
�T
i
-2-
2. Needed expansion of the Edina Cleaners operation which
is supported by affected residences -arcd businesses:.,.
3. Potential improvement of the affected sites by paving
and landscaping of the existing parking lot south of the theatre,
landscaping and channelization with potentially controlled turn-
ing movements relative to the existing parking and drive up area
abutting the Edina CZeaners, main entrance, the elimination of
loading and unZoading,of materials by the Cleaners from France
Avenue and a general improvement to the southioest quarant of the
intersection of the Sunnyside and France Avenues.
We believe that the potentiaZ- mutuaZ advantages of such a
request warrant your consideration.
Sincerely,

ATTENTION: Mr. Warren Hyde, City Manager
Dear Mayor Van Valkenburg:
Our firm has been retained by the Edina Theatre Corporation and the
Edina Cleaners and Launderers Company to assist them in the
resolution of a zoning matter. In recent weeks, we have had three
meetings and several phone conversations with the City staff in an
effort to determine the most appropriate means of achieving our
goal. The conclusion of these meetings was that an amen dnent to
Ordinance 811 -A69 would be an appropriate direction to take.
On November 2, 1977, I appeared before the Planning Commission for
their review and consideration of this zoning ordinance amendment.
The matter was tabled until their November 30th meeting. We had
previously, however, anticipated that the City Council would set a
public hearing date on November 7, 1977. We would very much
appreciate that this time table could be kept and respectfully
request setting a public hearing date at your November 7th meeting.
This will enable us to adhere more closely to our original time
table and will enable us to address the desires of the Planning
Commission by attending their November 30, 1977 meeting.
Your favorable consideration of this matter would be greatly
appreciated. Mr. Howard Dahlgren will be in attendance at your
November 7th meeting for questions you may have.
Sincerely,

Our neighborhood seems to be a paradise for cats!!
We can request the neighborhood children not to use our yards for their

Edina has a strict ordinance regulating the control of dogs -- these
animals are restricted from our property.
And yet -- cats can roam wherever they want - whenever they. want.
These cats are a nuisance -- they -.,:alk along the virdcrrr sills,leaving
scratch marks -- if a car �+indow is open, they Jump in lea,,--nr, mud
prints in some casts -- feces are left (sometimes on the driveway and
one of us eve:i found then on the car) -- plants are crushed weep, they
go roaming through gardens and landscaping - - -
Surely, the responsibility of owning an animal -- be it a dog or a cat --
should involve consideration for others in the neighborhood. Apparently
the foliryaing aaners of cats need to be reminded that even though the cat
may be a source of joy to them, their pets are a big nuisance to others.
(Actually it is not necessary for a cat's yell -being to be out doors at
any time -- they exist very viell being; in the house all the time!)

FROM: Arlin Waelti
RE: Ordinance for licensing and inspection of lodging establishments
Through the agreement signed and adopted by the :City,Council last month,
the City of Edina now has authority to license and inspect lodging
establishments. This authority and responsibility was previously vested
in the Minnesota Department of Health. It is now necessary to adopt a
City ordinance defining that authority and establishing .licensing fees.
The ordinance I have drafted is- substantially similar to the one adopted
in St.:'Louis Park. The only facility that would presently come under this
inspection authority would be the Biltmore Motel at 5212 Vernon Avenue.
For that reason, I felt it necessary to add a definition of "motel" which
was absent from both state statute and the St. Louis-Park; ordinance. L
would like you to specifically note.the language used and feel free to
change or tinker with it as you wish. I used the language of the definition
of hotel as used in the state statue and just inserted some language
regarding vehicle parking.
Mr. Esse suggested that we adopt the licensing fees presently being used
by St. Louis Park. Again, if you have some ideas about charges in Edina
that would be appropriate to our situation, please share those ideas with
me.
I have not discovered any magic formula for the numbering of new ordinances
and so just continued the system used within the 700 series (health ordinances)
in the ordinance book. If there is, in fact, some kind of procedural form
that is consistently used, clue me in.
Please let me -know your comments and .thoughts on.this as,.soon as possible.
Time is not of the essence on this matter but if there are not any controversial
areas that we need to iron out, we might as well get it wrapped up and
before the Council as soon as possible.
If the:language regarding filing.the state regulations is.okay, would you
see that three copies are given to Florence. I have a copy of them if you
need them.

SUBJECT: Resolution Regarding Senate File #459
At its November 1, 1977 meeting, the Edina Advisory Board of
Health discussed Senate File 4459. After some discussion, the Board
recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution and
a copy of same be provided to all appropriate legislators and to the

A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF AMENDMENT
TO SENATE FILE NO. 459
1978 MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Edina is the official
governing body of the City of Edina; and
WHEREAS, the City Council fully supports prior legislation, including
the Community Health Services Act, which provides for the establishment
and funding of municipal boards of health and health departments and the
delivery of community health services; and
WHEREAS, the City of Edina Advisory Board of Health has enthusiastically
endorsed the Community Health Services Act because the law has been effective
in (1) facilitating full community participation in the planning and
development of local health services, (2) implementing sound environmental
and preventive health techniques, (3) improving the over -all quality of
community health services, and (4) achieving the consolidation of public
health authority at the local level while promoting the organization of
multi - county boards of health; and
WHEREAS, the City Council firmly believes that the City of Edina's
Environmental Health Services, contracted Nursing Services, and Emergency
Medical Services should continue to provide a full range of community health
services including food service inspection; housing maintenance; community .
sanitation; environmental pollution control; home -care services; adult health
services; children's health services; information and education; school support
services; health promotion and counseling for individuals, families, and
groups; nutritional services; disease prevention and control services; and
emergency medical services to the residents of Edina; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is aware of the highly competent and
professional manner in which" the City of Bloomington's Division of Public.
Health Services and Edina's Environmental Health Services have performed
these community health services; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed that certain law proposed
to the Legislature during the 1977 legislative session, filed as
Senate File No. 459; and
WI;EREAS, the City Council is cognizant of the fact that the adoption
of Senate File No. 459 as presently drafted would repeal the Community
Health Services Act and other existing laws granting the City of Edina
authority for the planning, funding, and provision of community health
services; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is further aware that Senate File No. 459
would transfer the authority for the planning, funding, and provision of
community health services to the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners,
thereby seriously jeopardizing the viability of the City's Department of
Environmental Services and delivery of Personal Public Health Services; and
WHEREAS, the City Council endorses.the provisions of Senate File
No. 459 relating to the planning, financing, and delivery of social
services other than community health services;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDINA
IN REGULAR MEETING ASSEMBLED, that the City Council hereby urges the
Minnesota Legislature to amend Senate File No. 459 by deleting all references
to community health services;.

SUBJECT: Paratransit Demonstration
Attached is the preliminary draft for a demonstration grant for paratransit
services in a brief version covering points that must be addressed in the
application.
I ,request that the Council be made aware of the scope of the project before
the official preliminary application is completed and sent to the Minnesota
Department of Transportation
PRELIMINARY DRAFT
The system proposed would be a subregional transit service focusing the transit
services on the major activity center (known as Southdale area). This system
would be consistent with.transportation policies of the Metropolitan Council.
Two previous studies, Edina Transportation Transit Study and 494/100 Southdale
Corridor Transportation Study, concluded that potential existed for a localized
service to link residential neighborhoods to activity centers which would solve
part of the transportation problems of the area. The recently completed South
Hennepin Route - Ridership Improvement Project Study, provides recommendations on
transit improvements for this area.(see attached exhibit 2) The initial demon-
stration would attempt to provide some of the services noted. Thus a demon-
stration of this concept is consistent with metropolitan policies and previous
area studies.
The City of Edina proposes to operate (or bid for private enterprise operation)
a localized service linking residentail areas to the major activity center. The
method of operation will be a route deviation system which (1) the user would
have the option of calling a dispatcher for pick -up at their door or boarding
a vehicle along a designated route, (2) the vehicle may deviate from the designated
route at any time to pick -up or discharge passengers in its zone but must return
to the route at the point of deviation. The purpose of this service is to provide
transportation services to an area that does not have adequate residential service,
basically, the western Edina area, west of Highway 100 and also south of Crosstown
Highway 62 east of Highway 100 (see.attached map). This service would also
provide access to regular Metropolitan Transit Commission (MTC) Routes with the
interface coming mainly at the Southdale Transit Terminal or the Grandview Shopping
Area on Vernon Avenue which is the terminus for most east -west MTC routes in
Northeastern Edina.
The time schedule proposed for the project is one year starting in the spring of
1978 with completion one year hence. The potential for continuation of the project
beyond the demonstration phase will be contingent upon subsidy required.to operate
the system.
The Metropolitan Transit Commission is presently assisting the City in preparing
the proposed system. The grant for demonstration requests funding for a project
manager who would be the key person operating the system with technical assistance
from the MTC.(see exhibit 1)
The service area in Edina would include area not currently served by regularly
scheduled service provided by the Metropolitan Transit Commission, exclusive of the
express buses (35 Flyers). The markets served Mould include: (1) work trips that
begin and end in the service area. (2) shopping, social /recreational trips through-
out the day and (3) youth activities after school and summer programs.
The concept proposes to-demonstrate the following:
1. Route deviation Operation.
2. Subregional transit system as cost effective means to resolve local trans -
- -- portati on - problems ; -- -- - -- -- - -- — - - — - - —
a. reduce air pollution.
b. reduce traffic congestion during peak travel periods.
c. avoid expenditures otherwise required to increase road capacity
to handle peak travel demands.
3. Implementation of transportation policy of Metropolitan Council focusing
improved service on major activity center within subregion by providing
quality, convenient multi- passenger and shared ride transit service,
commensurate with the demand.
4. Implementation of transit system where use of conventional transit is
not economically feasible.

Conclusions
Discussions were held with the Edina Transit Committee',
Suburban Advisory Committee, and project staff to discuss
alternative transit services for the area and the alternatives
for the Southdale Transit Terminal.
The following seven recommendations are made:
a Transit must be an important part of the
community and demonstrations of new.ideas are
mandatory.
o The-Southdale Transit Terminal should be located
at the existing Garden Center at the corner of
66th Street and France Avenue and serve the many
transit functions previously listed. This
terminal is expected to cost $750,000 and be
completed by 1979; the 11TC would be the
implementing agency.
o That the existing transit routes should focus on
the new transit terminal.
o A new localized transit service (Figure 18) should
be implemented that provides the following
functions:
- Connections from the adjoining residential
areas to the center
Feeder service to express service to
downtown Minneapolis
- Circulation /distribution service within the
major center area (with a 10( 'fare zone)
e The service should operate from 7:00 a.m. to
9:30 p.m. on weekdays, and from 9:00 a.m. to
6:00 p.m. on Saturdays.
o The City should sponsor the service and apply for a
State demonstration grant; the 14TC should provide
technical assistance.
o The localized service should be detailed by staff
of the City of Edina and the HTC, with consideration
for shared -ride taxi service, route deviation
service, and small vehicles on fixed routes.

Gentlemen:
Mayer Van Valkenburg has asked that we attempt to get together to get the
Edina Foundation off the ground. One of my assignments during my consult-
ing phase here will be to provide whataver staff work is nece:�sary for this.
You will note I have listed three alternative times to meet. Would you
please call Marcella Daehn, my secretary, as to your preference and we will
then get back to you with a time certain.
We greatly appreciate your willingness to serve on this important activity.
I have been attempting to get some information from the Minnesota Council on
Foundations and had an appointment with pis. Healy. Unfortunately, just before
the time of the appointment, she was taken to the hospital so I do not know
yet what help we can get from them.
Mayor Van Valkenburg will have an agenda for the meeting which we will send
you later.
We will. appreciate your calling Mrs. Daehn and hope that most of you can
make one of the ti=nes above.
Sincerely your. s,

MEMO
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Mark Bernhardson, 1977 United Way Chairman
SUBJECT: CITY OF EDINA EMPLOYEES - UNITED WAY CAMPAIGN
DATE: November 4, 1977
The United Way Campaign for City employees was conducted from
October 3 -21 with the employees either contributing or pledging
a total of $1,937.96, an increase of 17.4% over 1976. Those
participating represented 60% of the full -time employees, which
is an increase from 1976 when 48.5% participated. The average
contribution per employee was $14.68. A short note summarizing
the results and thanking those who participated will be distrib-
uted to the employees with their next paycheck.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and Council
From: Kenneth Rosland, City Manager
Subject: 1978 Employee Health and Life Insurance
Date: November 4, 1977
i
As in the past, the City's insurance plan for 1978 will offer the City employees
the option of choosing one of four health insurance plans and require that they
are enrolled in a minimal ($5,000) life insurance and a long term disability
policy (except for the Fire Department for whom the disability policy is presently
optional at their own expense). Both the health and life insurance plans are,obtained
in cooperation with the County.
Increases in the health plans for combined single and dependent coverage include
a 1.1% increase for the "Western style" insurance plan which in 1978 will be
handled by Blue Cross /Blue Shield (after two years with Western). Rate increases
for the three Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO's) range from 19% to 27% for
the combined coverage. (The increases for Physicians and Med Center bring their
cost to within a few dollars of Blue Cross. Group Health remains the bargain
"dollar wise" for 1978). Rates for the single coverage experienced rate increases
of 23 -25% except for Group Health which had a 5% decrease.
The life insurance plan rates decreased from $1.80 per month per person to
$1.10 per month. The long term disability insurance which the City contracts
for directly is estimated to increase about 5% ($30.45 per person per month).
City Contribution
In 1977 the City contributed four different amounts to four distinct groups
insurance
of employees for the package. The disparities that exist have arisen
Mayor and Council -2- November 4, 1977
because of different contract negotiations with the various unions.
N, on-union personnel have had to pay sub-
stantionally more of their salaries for equal coverage.
For 1978 it is -my recommendation to the Council that the City insurance contri-
bution for non -union personnel be raised to $70. The amount for Public Works
unionized personnel will remain at $65/40 per the contract through 1978. As
yet the figures for Police and Fire have not been settled but will probably
be at least $70. The increased contribution for non -union employees will assist
in minimizing the increased costs to employees for the insurance. The recommended
increase in the City's contribution for non -union employees is projected to be
within the amount .approved by the Council in the 1978-budget for insurance.
If the City contribution for unorganized employees is adopted at the November'7
Council meeting, an open enrollment period would be established for November 14th
to November 23rd. All changes must be recorded and sent to the companies by the
first week in December to allow them adequate time to process changes by the
effective date of January 1. Timely adoption would permit completion of the
task within the time constraints set forth.
(See attached for plan costs and benefit for non union employees given the $70
contribution.)

MEMORANDUM
October 27, 1977
To: Mayor and Council
Ken Rosland
From: Warren C. Hyde
Subject: Alleged Contamination of Edina Wells with Phenols ( Benzpyrene) Because
of St. Louis Park Creosote Plant
"Health Threat from Water.Still Studied" read the headlines in the Minneapolis Tribune,
October 20, 1977. The accompanying article written by Dean Rebuffoni was based on an
interview with Dave Gray, a "spokesman" for the Minnesota Health Department and the
author of a report written for the Pollution Control Agency. A copy of the article
is attached.
After reading the article, we checked the Water Department records as to what infor-
mation we had received from the State Health Department concerning the matter. We
found reports of tests made in March and September, 1973, and in July, 1975. To add
complications, the unit measurement of phenols was on the basis of "ug /1" (parts per
billion) in 1975, but on 11mg /1" (parts per million) in 1973. This made it necessary
to convert the earlier tests to parts per billion to secure a comparison.

This indicates that several of the wells showed less phenols in 1975 than they did
in 1973. The counts of "20" 1114" "18" and "10" in 1975 are being questioned as they
are so far out of line with the others.
After being notified by the City of St. Louis Park that the PCA was going to con-
sider the problem on Tuesday, October 25, LeRoy Libby, Water Superintendent, and
I attended the meeting.
Dave Gray summarized the findings of the report which precipitated the Tribune story.
It is 71 pages and is entitled "Assessment of Possible Human Health Effects Result-
ing from the Contamination of the Former Republic Creosote Site ". PCA had asked for
a report late this summer, following receipt of a second study done by Barr Eng-
ineering which concerned itself primarily with hydrology and geology. Gray's
report is primarily a summary of existing information on the general problem of
whether polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds contained in creosote
and coal -tar wastes will contaminate water supplies and in turn have adverse human
health effects. At the outset, the report says:
"A complete assessment of existing and potential health risk would require the
following information, little of which is available at this time:
1. To what extent is the groundwater, and more specifically the municipal water
supplies, in the area contaminated with carcinogenic PAH compounds? There
are no quantitative data available on specific PAH compounds in groundwater
in the area of the site.
2. What are the directions and speed of the spread of the contamination from the
site? This question must be addressed for the vertical travel of the material
to the deep aquifers and for the flow leaving the site area laterally. A
complete treatment of this problem would also involve a determination of which
fraction of the material is actually in a water solution and which is moving
as an independent phase. Also needed would be information on the position of
the buried bedrock valley to the east of the site and the porosity of the
material within it. Although Barr Engineering Phase II Report (78) was an
in -depth treatment of. certain aspects of the problem, many geohydrologic
questions remain unanswered.
3. What population groups are presently or potentially exposed to drinking water
contaminated with PAH compounds from the site?
4. Are there significant exposures to airborne PAH compounds? Although the creo-
sote and coal -tar are contained in the soil, the soil does not present an
absolute barrier to PAH vapors.
5. Is there a potential exposure from external contact with the contaminated soil
by future residential populations or to those involved in construction activities
on the site?
This assessment will use the information currently available to provide an initial
step in an ongoing process of risk evaluation. Our analysis will deal only with
Mayor and Council
Ken Rosland -3 October 27, 1977
the contamination of the drinking water supplies of St. Louis Park and Edina. The
contamination of other drinking water supplies as well as airborne and direct
contact exposures are possibilities which may have a greater impact on the public's
health than what we are able to attribute to the municipal drinking water supplies.
Because of the lack of information, these problems cannot be dealt with at this time.
The St. Louis Park and Edina supplies have been shown to contain tract quantities of
phenols, a major constituent of creosote. The present of phenols suggests the
presence of other more harmful components of creosote and coal -tar such as the
carcinogens benzo(a)pyrene*, benzo(a)antracene, dibenze(a,h)anthoracene, benzo(b)
fluoranthene, benzo(i)fluoranthene and chrysene. Because of the absence of any
measured concentrations of these carcinogenic PAH compounds, this analysis makes
use of an estimated benzpyrene concentration in the water supplies of the two
communities. These supplies may, of course, contain many other carcinogenic PAH
compounds.
*The nomenclature for the above listed compounds is the official nomenclature
designated by the Intl. Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (I.U.P.A.C.). Other
more common names are often used in the literature, e.g., benzo(a)pyrene is also
called 3,4- benzpyrene, benzpyrene, and abbreviated BP. In this report the more
familiar common name benzpyrene or the abbreviation BP will be used."
After many pages of generalities, the report on page 41 states:
"Calculation of the Maximum Acceptable Concentration.
1. Acceptable Risk.
The first step in the calculation of an acceptable concentration is to define
some level of risk for the induction of cancer in an individual as acceptable.
The risk of 1 in 100 million has been suggested as essentially "safe ".(65) At
this level of risk to an individual there would be a chance of 10 -8 x 100,000
(the approximate population of St. Louis Park and Edina) = 10 -3 = 1.1% of
inducing a single cancer in the combined population of the two communities. The
selection of this parameter is somewhat arbitrary. A different acceptable risk
will affect our final calculation of a maximum acceptable concentration pro-
portionally.
For this risk analysis we will adopt 1 in 100 million as an acceptable risk for
the induction of cancer in an individual over his entire lifetime as a result
of exposure to benzpyrene in drinking water."
Then, after considering the results of a study where mice were fed chow impreg-
nated with various concentrations of benzpyrene, and using the linear no- threshold
model and the maximum no- effect total dose of 936.6 mg the maximum acceptable
benzpyrene concentration in drinking water was calculated as:
1.6 x 10 -2mg =
70 yrs. x 365 days x 2 liters /day
3.1 x 10-4 micrograms /liter
Mayor and Council
Ken Rosland -4- October 27, 1977
The next step was to estimate the existing exposure to benzpyrene. The report states
at page 51 et seq.:
"Unfortunately, no one knows the concentration of benzpyrene in the St. Louis Park
or Edina water supplies. We must then use some method of estimating the true concen-
tration. To this end, we will assume the low levels of phenols which have been
measured in the St. Louis Park and Edina water supplies.'are associated with total
PAH in the same ratio as has been measured for groundwater samples collected in the
site area. We will also assume that the resulting estimated total PAH values are
associated with benzpyrene in the same ratio as has been found by Borneff and
Kunte (73) in samples of unpolluted European groundwater. The inaccuracy of our
assumption relating to the PAH to phenol ratio will, of course, influence our final
subjective comparision of maximum acceptable concentration and the estimated exposure.
We first must determine the concentration of phenols in the drinking water of the
average-resident of St. Louis Park and Edina. Phenol analyses were performed on the
St. Louis Park system from September of 1973 to February of 1974, by.the Minnesota
Department of Health. (74)
Using specific well pump rates (75,76) for the same period it can be calculated
that the average resident received a concentration of 3.66 micrograms of phenols/
liter in his drinking water. A similar analysis of phenol concentrations on samples
collected from the Edina system during July.of 1975 show an average of 4.33 micrograms/
liter. (77)
We next must estimate the amount of benzpyrene associated with these phenol concen-
trations. The ratio of PAH to phenol for Well 17 from the Barr Phase II Report (78)
is 10.6. The ratio of benzpyrene to PAH as determined by Borneff and Kunte (72) for
unpolluted groundwater is 0.01 (average to two samples). The value of 0.01 is con-
sistent with BA /PAH ratios which have been measured for a.wide variety of environ-
mental samples as well as for creosote and coal -tar in the pure state. The average
concentration of benzpyrene in the water supplies of the two communities can then
be calculated as follows:
BP(St. Louis Park) =(3.66 ug phenol /1)
x(10.6 PAH /phenol)
x(0.01 BA /PAH) -0.39 ug /l
BP(Edina) =(4.33 ug /phenol /1)
x(10.6 PAH /phenol)
x(0.01 BP /PAH =0.46 ug /l
Significance of Estimated Exposure.
Upon examination of the results of the calculations in sections one and two of this
analysis, several things become apparent. First, the estimated exposure is about
1,000 times higher than the maximum acceptable exposure, suggesting the existence
of a serious public health problem. Secondly, the maximum acceptable concentration
is very low (3.1 x 10- 4ug /1)."
Mayor and Council
Ken Rosland -5- October 27, 1977
"However, even if the estimated concentrations in the wells of Edina and St. Louis
Park are in error on the high side because of the difference in solubilities of
phenol and benzpyrene, there is no reason to believe that benzpyrene could not be
present at or near the limit of solubility of 0.01 ug /1, a concentration that is
still about thirty times our maximum acceptable concentration.
One must then conclude, that even if there are sizable errors in the estimates that
have been made for this assessment, the magnitude of the difference between the
maximum acceptable concentration and what could reasonably be the true concentration
of benzpyrene in the water supplies of the two communities, is so large that there
exists a significant potential impact on human health."
The report then makes a series of recommendations for future technical studies. In
addition to more studies, the report recommends:
Abandonment of three St. Louis Park wells.
Design and implement a pumpout and barrier well system to remove and halt
the spread of contaminated water in the drift and aquifers.
Possible later removal of contaminated soil.
Prohibit any construction on site which will interfere with future corrective
measures.
A PCA staff memo, October 25, 1977, "Consideration of Recommendations on the Soil
and Ground Water Problems" was the subject of considerable attention by the PCA
board. It recommended that the Barr report proposals be implemented and that the
City of St. Louis Park accept the responsibility for carrying out the additional
studies and corrective measures.
Mayor Stern of St. Louis Park advised that his City felt it was a joint responsibility
with the State and perhaps Federal govenement. Apparently the State had paid for the
two Barr studies. During the discussion, Mr. Gabler, a board member, asked about
Edina's interest, and Joseph Grinnell, an Edina resident and chairman of the board,
having noticed me in the audience, asked me to comment. I pointed out that we had
not been contacted by the Health Department that we had a problem, and that we
learned of it only through the newspapers. I also indicated that our preliminary
comparison of the 1973 and 1975 reports indicated some decreases in the phenol count
and that our wells were cased off from the strata in which the pollution has been
found. I asked whether any studies had been made on the phenol count in other wells
removed from this particular problem area.
Action finally taken included the Board approving part of the staff recommendations
and requesting that the staff and St. Louis Park get together during the next month
to.work out financial arrangements for the studies.
From a non- technical standpoint I think the following questions should be answered:
1. Can the amount of benzpyrene in water be measured?
2. Why do most of our well samples show a decrease in phenols from 1973
to 1975?
3. What is the level of phenols in other wells in Minnesota?
Mayor and Council
Ken Rosland -6- October 27, 1977
4. Why is the phenol concentration in Edina wells higher than in St. Louis
Park wells?
5. Is the State Health Department going to make any workable recommendations
to us as to what, if any, additional treatment should be given our wells?
6. With Edina's wells cased off from the upper stratas, and getting the water
from the Jordan and Hinckley, how do the phenols get into our stratum?
I think it is apparent that there is no clear and present danger in drinking Edina
water. Pending further technical and scientific analyses, there is probably nothing
we can do at this time.
A staff meeting will be held in the near future with Dave Gray and Roman Koch of
the State Health Department, Rosland, Esse, Velde, Meichsner, Libby and Dunn, at
which time some of the above questions may be answered.
It is possible that we could have some more sophisticated tests made of our wells,
through outside, independent agencies such as the Fresh Water Biological Lab at
Navarre, National Biocentric of Roseville, Serco Laboratories and others, to determine
more exactly the extent of benzpyrene.

Four years after cancer- causing
substances were first found in the
drinking water of two Minneapolis
suburbs, it still cannot be deter-
mined precisely what hazard they
pose to human health, state health
officials acknowledged Wednes-
day.
However, mathematical project-
tions, the Minnesota Health De-
partment said, "suggest the exis-
tence of a serious public health
problem" in St. Louis Park and
Edina. The department estimated
that residents of tho ovo suburbs
are being exposed to 1,000 tunes
the maximum acceptable exposure
set by the World Health Organiza-
tion for the substances.
Such substances include benzpyr-
ene, a known cause of cancer that
officials said has seeped into the
two suburbs' water supplies from
since late 1973.
the old Repohlic Crcoso!c Co.
plant in south- central St. Louis
Oark.
The health departtinent stressed,
however, that exposure would be
hazarc]o:is only if a resicicrT of

with a high cdiicentratru; of her.z-
pv�zrnc hi< entire !ifetime.

n ;gene in the St. Louis Park or
Aft Continued from page 1B
Last month, the PCA said St. Louis
Park's water supply is not con-
taminated as extensively as had
been thought. It cited a recent in-
vestigation as confirming its belief
that some of the suburb's ground
water had been tainted with po-
tentially harmful creosote, benz-
pyrene' and phenol residues from
the site of the old creosote plant. .
The PCA said the investigation
showed that there is no need to
excavate extensive amounts of soil
at or near the site to remove the
contaminants. Rather, it showed
that the contaminants are con -
taiired within a rather small area
and that remedial measures can be
undertaken to prevent them from
seeping into adjacent ground wa-
ter supplies.
But that investigation, done for the
PCA by Barr Engineering Co., a
private consulting firm, did not .
attempt to define the potential
public - health risks created by the
contaminants. That was left up to
the health department, which this
week submitted its report to the
PCA.
Gray yesterday criticized Barr En-
gineering's investigation, saying it
"did not adequately determine
how far (the contaminants) have
traveled in the ground water."
He said there's a need for more
studies to define the extent of con-
tamination and the potential health
risks posed by benzpyrene and the
other pollutants to residents of St.
Louis Park and Edina.
Asked why the health department
has not been able to determine the .
health risk during the last four
years, Gray said that funds to un-
dertake such an extensive study
were only recently made available
by the Minnesota Legislature.
The health department and the
PCA have been at odds for years
over what each has considered the
other's failure to adequately assess
and alert the public to potential
health problems in the environ-
ment.
In many instances, including the
asbestos -fiber issue associated
with the Reserve Mining Co. case,
the PCA has contended that the
health department downplayed the
potential health threat. The de-
partment has countered by saying
that the PCA has sometimes been
alarmist in public- health matters.

"We're talking only about assump-
tions and projections so far," he
said. "That should not lead any-
body not to drink water in those
two communities, and there is no
emergency situation there.
"We still have to measure the ac-
tual concentrations (of the sub-
stances) in the drinking water,"
Gray said. "If the levels are low,
they may not need tr'eatrnent (to
eliminate their haza-dous effects);
if they're high, there ar, exis ;ing

St. Louis Park officials may have
to block construction of a planned
housing project on a tract of city -
owrted land to prevent a potential-
ly serious public - health problem,
state officials said Tuesday.
The city also may face a bill of
several million dollars if huge
amounts of soil contaminated with
potentially hazardous creosote re-
sidues must be excavated to pre-
'vent them from fouling municipal
water supplies.
That news came Tuesday at a
hearing of the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency (PCA), and St.
Louis Park Mayor Irving Stern
found it decidedly unpleasant.
"I woke up at 2 a.m. this morning
in a cold sweat," Stern told the
PCA's citizens' board. "But as the
city of Silver Bay was not called
upon to remove the taconite tail-
ings from Lake Superior, so the
city of St. Louis Park should not
be called upon to bear the costs of
removing this pollution."
But the PCA board and the Minne -.
sota Health Department said some-
thing must be done quickly to re-
solve the potential health problem,
and a department spokesman said
"all construction activities" at the
housing site "should cease immedi-
ately pending a complete environ-
mental review."
The health department also made
its strongest warning to date in
the nine -year -old creosote issue.
One of the department's environ-
mental- health experts, Dave Gray,
said contamination from the ofd
m�S0 Continued from page 1B
Republic Creosote Co. plant in
south - central St. Louis Park "has
resulted in a significaut potential
hazard to the public's health by
threatening some of the state's
most heavily used groundwater re-
sources."
That warning came following
studies completed recently by the
health department and by a con
suiting firm hired by the PCA. The
health department last week had
said it couldn't determine precisely
what hazard the creosote residues
— particularly benzpyrene, a sub-
stance knows: to cause cancer —
pose to human health.
But Gray insisted yesterday that
something be done quickly to alle-
viate the potential health threat.
He said the creosote residues are in
the drinking water used not only
by St. Louis Park, but by another
Minneapolis suburb, Edina.
And, lie said, additional studies and
remedial measures are needed to
provide enough information to as-
sess the health risk and to deter-
mine whether contaminants from
the old plant site will not enter the
drinking water of still other com-
munities that draw their supplies
from underground acquifers to the
south and southeast of St. Louis
Park.
Those warnings, combined with
PCA staff recommendations,
prompted the PCA board to vote
unanimously that St. Louis Park
should carry out the additonal
studies and corrective measures.
Meanwhile, the PCA and the city
will attempt to reach an agree-
ment under which a timetable for
completing the studies and mea-
sures can be established.
Such measures could include a sys-
tem of b;:rrier wells that would
prevent the creosote- contaminated
water from seeping from the plant
site into other groundwater sup-
plies. But PCA staff members
warned that these wells may not
prevent such seepage, and that an
extensive excavation of creosote -
tainted soil may be necessary.
The 80 -acre plant site is in south -
central St. Louis Park, roughly be-
tween Minnetonka Blvd. on the
north, Hwy. 7 on the south, LOUiSi-
ana Av. on the east and Oak Hill
Park on the west. The city bought
the tract in 1972 for about $1 mil-
lion and demolished the old plant
to make way for a federally fi-
nanced housing project on the
north half of the tract.
Creosoto continued on page I2B
__ �• - ` It had earlier been thought that the
creosote contamination was re-
stricted lrrgcly to the south half of
the tract, and th<t'. the housing
project could proceed on the north
portion, called Oak Park Village. j
But the PCA board and the health
department said yesterday that the
contamination could affect
groundwater under the entire
tract, and that there should be no
work started anywhere on the
tract, at least until it is determined
if excavation is necessary.
Stern said that, while the city is in
fine financial health and could af-
ford to finance at least the
$200,000 or so needed for a system
of barrier wells, it should not be
required to do so. He said the
creosote problem is of regional
concern, and that the financing
should come from the state and
federal governments.
He also declined to tell the PCA
board whether the city will halt
the planned work on the housing
project, saying he and other city
officials need time to discuss the
matter.

One of the most important purposes of the League is to serve as a vehicle
through which city officials throughout the state can define their mutual
problems and develop positive policies and proposals for their solution.
This fall, League study committees will be formed to begin that process
again.
Encouraging member participation is my major goal for this year, and
participation is nowhere more vital than in the study committee process.
Developing legislative policy has to be a broadly -based enterprise if
the result is to represent the best interests of all cities. I urge
your city to consider participation in one or more committees. It is
important to emphasize that membership on the study committees is open
to•any and all interested city officials. While we of course welcome
those who have special expertise in a subject area, we also feel strongly
that your interest and your experience in local government are more than
sufficient credentials for committee membership.
The committees will begin meeting in November and typically will hold
five meetings before March, 1975. As a member of past committees, I can
attest that they are both interesting and stimulating. Members work
with the League staff including lobbyists in developing proposals and
also call on the resources and expertise of other organizations or per-
sons that are knowledgeable in public policy. It's also stimulating to
trade ideas with city officials from throughout the state.
A list of the committees proposed for 1977 - 1979 is enclosed. If you
are interested in serving on any of these committees, or if you would .
like to recommend a colleague for appointment, please send me a note at
the League office. I expect to make appointments to the committees in
October, so it would be helpful to have your suggestions within the next
three weeks. The committees are open, too, for your ideas and suggestions
for study topics. If there is a topic you believe warrants study, please
notify me or the League staff. I hope you will .join us in providing your
personal support to build a vital and effective legislative program.

City Manager
City of Richfield
6700 Portland Avenue South
Richfield, Minnesota 55423
Dear Mr. Burggraaff:
Thank you for your letter of October 17, 1977, regarding the Southeast
Edina Redevelopment Plan which was approved by the Edina City Council
on October 17, 1977. In your letter, you expressed the City of
Richfield's concern regarding 1) the use of tax increment funds to
acquire properties other than those to he used for assisted housing,
2) the impact of increased traffic volumes on 76th Street resulting
from the redevelopment area and 3) the impacts of storm water drainage
on the Adam's Hill Pond area.
We agree that that the acquisition of non - blighted, vacant properties
which would not be used for assisted housing should be minimized.
Therefore, the major emphasis of the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan
is the provision of sites for assisted housing. The only non - housing
acquisitions contemplated are for parklands and transitional development
areas in close proximity to sites to be developed as low and moderate
income family and elderly housing. We believe that such non- housing
acquisitions are absolutely essential to insure the environmental quality
of the redevelopment area and are complementary to the provision of housing
for low and moderate income families and elderly citizens. It is also
important to note that the present Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan
includes a much smaller area than a previously presented redevelopment
plan which was rejected.
ti•7e also agree that traffic impacts are of major concern in Southeast Edina
and Richfield. As part of its planning efforts, the City of Edina
incorporated the land use recommendations of the DMJM study into the South
Edina Plan of 1973. This Plan indicated maximum allowable trip generators
from the Southeast Edina area to minimize impacts on already overburdened
roadway systems. The Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan proposes a further
reduction in the intensities of land use as specified in the South Edina
Plan and the DMJM Study. Therefore, we believe that traffic impacts
resulting from the development of lands in accordance with the Southeast
Edina Redevelopment Plan will be substantially less than impacts resulting
from development of these lands in accordance with the South F:dina Plan and
DMJM Study.

Adams Hill Pond has been and continues to be an area of concern for Edina
and Richfield. I understand that Mr. Dunn, our Public Works Director and
City Engineer, submitted detailed improvement plans regarding Adams Hill
Pond for review by your staff over a month ago. We have not received any
comments or suggestions from your staff concerning these plans. With
your review and concurrence, we will proceed with the necessary work at
Adams Hill Pond. In addition, specific development proposals for properties
within the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan area will be reviewed
carefully to minimize future impacts on the Adams Hill Pond area.
I understand that Mr. Greg Luce of Professional Management Services has
met with your staff on several occasions during the past months to discuss
the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan. We will gladly meet with you or
your staff to discuss the above items further if you so desire.

A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF AMENDMENT
TO SENATE FILE NO. 459
1978 MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Edina is the official governing
body of the City of Edina; and
WHEREAS, the City Council fully supports prior legislation, including
the Community Health Services Act, which provides for the establishment and
funding of municipal boards of health and health departments and the delivery
of community health services; and
WHEREAS, the City of Edina Advisory Board of Health has enthusiastically
endorsed the Community Health Services Act because the law has been effective
in (1) facilitating full community participation in the planning and develop-
ment of local health services, (2) implementing sound environmental and
preventive health techniques, (3) improving the over -all quality of community
health services, and (4) achieving the consolidation of public health authority
at the local level while promoting the organization of multi- county boards of
health; and
WHEREAS, the City Council firmly believes that the City of Edina's
Environmental Health Services, contracted Nursing Services, and Emergency
Medical Services should continue to provide a full range of community health
services including food service inspection; housing maintenance; community
sanitation; environmental pollution control; home -care services; adult health
services; children's health services; information and education; school support
services; health promotion and counseling for individuals, families, and
groups; nutritional services; disease prevention and control services; and
emergency medical services to the residents of Edina; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is aware of the highly competent professional
manner in which the City of Bloomington's Division of Public Health Services
and Edina's Environmental Health Services have performed these community
health services; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed that certain law proposed to the
Legislature during the 1977 legislative session, filed as Senate File No. 459;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council is cognizant of the fact that the adoption of
Senate File No. 459 as presently drafted would repeal the Community Health
Services Act and other existing laws granting the City of Edina authority
for the planning, funding, and provision of community health services; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is further aware that Senate File No. 459
would transfer the authority for the planning, funding, and provision of
community health services to the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners,
thereby seriously jeopardizing the viability of the City's Department of
Environmental Services and delivery of Personal Public Health Services; and
WHEREAS, the City Council endorses the provisions of Senate File No. 459
relating to the planning, financing, and delivery of social services other
than community health services;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDINA
IN REGULAR MEETING ASSEMBLED, that the City Council hereby urges the Minnesota
Legislature to amend Senate File No. 459 by deleting all references to
