As you know, this annual program prepares the newly - elected mayors and council members to take on their new jobs. An opening session orients the officials to their powers, authorities and responsibilities. Experienced officials and managers then present and discuss key issues, including personal liability, open meeting law, Dutch Elm disease and inter - governmental relations. A special morning seminar will focus on governing the city -- practical tips in the critical areas of personnel and labor relations, financial management and planning and zoning. Please show the enclosed brochure to your council members and mayor and encourage their attending the program. What they learn will make your job easier. This conference offers the first opportunity for the newly - elected officials to meet their colleagues around the state and talk about mutual concerns. Remember, the State Legislature will have just opened its session. By the way, current mayors and council members who may have missed last year's conference or want to update their knowledge may want to attend the conference as well. We encourage those registrations. Please note that the fee for this year's conference is only $30, less than last year. Some prices are going down! Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, 6 ' William F. Moeller Executive Director P.S. MARK YOUR CALENDAR NOW FOR THE ANNUAL CITY CLERKS' CONFERENCE MARCH 16 -18, 1977 AT L'HOTEL SOFITEL. See you there!

MINN. 55426 PHONE: 544.9551 Edina, Minnesota December 91, 1976 Ms.,.Florence Hallberg Clerk,'City of Edina 4801 West 50th Street Edina, Minnesota Dear Ms. Hallberg, Enclosed is a copy of a bill for $54.95 I'just paid to Roto- Rooter Sewer'Service for removing tree roots from the badlevard tree in front of our house4 -: Two years ago we removed a beautiful, old spruce tree.on our property because it's roots also caused problems in the sewer line. We felt with the rising cost of service we could no'longer afford to have large trees in that area. This summer I discussed with Edina's tree specialist the possibility of removing that elm tree because it created a ' recurring problem. There are five elm trees on the boulevard of our 50 ft. lot. He advised against remo.ving.the tree-because of the danger of losing some or all to Dutch elm disease.... This idea creates quite a dilemma for us as we will soon be retired and cannot continue to pay.these, service fees every year or two-as we have in the past. I contacted Mr. Damn when the sewer line became clogged and he sent the street crew to check the sewer line-in.-the street. He assured me that was all -the service the city would provide. I feel that puts us as property owne's in an unfair -bind. We can't remove -the tree and yet we must'�psy.an exoribitant fee to maintain sewer service because.of the tree. I.think the City should maintain the service through the boulevard area, forfeits the right to control the planting on the boulevard, or reimburse the property owner for the.cost of having service to remove the roots from the, boulevard trees. I appreciate the courtesy with which the various city personnel have dealt with •this problem._. I, now ask,tyou to consider my request for reimbursement for the amount we paid to Roto- Rooter. Very truly yours, Winnie Bemis.(Mrs. Lee) 6444 Wilryan Avenue Edina, Mn. 55435 i THE EDINA BICENTENNIAL COMMISSION 4801 WEST FIFTIETH STREET • EDINA, MINNESOTA 55424 While the other commissioners and I are looking forward to the completion of this Bicentennial responsibility, we are all delighted to have been involved and have enjoyed the responsibility entrusted to us by you and the Council. 4 Sin a ely, Ra qd Bechtle, Chairman Edina Bicentennial Commission RLB:ca November 3, 1976 CHAIRMAN Raymond Bechtle SECRETARY James Van Valkenburg, Mayor Lois Strupp Edina City Hall: 4801 West 50th Street TREASURER Edina, Minnesota 55424 R, ay-0'Connell MEMBERS: Dear Jim, Williamt Bitter Kay Brown As we begin to wind up the affairs of the Edina Bicentennial Com- Dorothy Conner mission, I may be bothering you about several decisions that must David Dietrich be made. I need one such decision now:. We have learned today from Dorothy Dunn Rosemary G.ubrud the State that we must keep file on the expenditure of monies P a e ex P Bernice Kenkel related to the three State grants that we have received. The Betsy Kuntz specific direction is, "If your organization will not be on- going, Benjamin Larson you must appoint a successor agency such as your county board to Adeline Lindboe Joan save your files. The name of the successor agency must be sent Mary Ness Ness to our office along with when possible, the name of a contact g � P � Ken Rosland person in that agency." I am to notify the State before November Donna Skagerberg 30 of the location of these files. I am assuming that these Leigh Wakefield financial records should be kept at the City Hall. I would like Lois Wilder Mary Emma Willson to know what person or office you wish to designate to keep the records. (The files we are talking about will probably be three file folders a total of 1" thick.) We will need to know later where the records of the Bicentennial Commission should be kept. This will include the scrapbook that we'll present to the City, my files, memorabilia, etc. One sugges- tion has been that these be in the keeping of the Edina Historical Society, but kept in the Edina Community Library. I will be ready to make the financial report to the City Council for the Bicentennial Commission on Monday, December 20. My report will probably take five minutes. Ray O'Connell's report will probably take ten minutes. If a convenient time can be arranged on the agenda, we would ask all of the Bicentennial Commissioners to be present for this final report. While the other commissioners and I are looking forward to the completion of this Bicentennial responsibility, we are all delighted to have been involved and have enjoyed the responsibility entrusted to us by you and the Council. 4 Sin a ely, Ra qd Bechtle, Chairman Edina Bicentennial Commission RLB:ca �lb CHAIRMAN Raymond Bechtle SECRETARY Lois Strupp TREASURER Ray O'Connell MEMBERS: William E.

We are now prepared to provide a recap of goals of the Commission, activities completed, activities being planned or anticipated, and budget report., The budget report will include the costs of the projects, sources of funding, and projected future costs. If the format and contents of this report prove satisfactory to the City Council, we will have a model for the final report to the Council in January, 1977. We estimate that this report will take 15 minutes and that many of the Bicentennial Commission members will attend the December 1 meeting.
