Dear City Clerk:

On Saturday, January 29, 1977 the Government Training.Service, in cooperation
with the League of Minnesota Cities, will sponsor the Conference of Newly
Elected Mayors and Council Members at the L'hotel Sofitel in Bloomington.
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

Ms.,.Florence Hallberg

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)

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.

Dear Jim,
The Edina Bicentennial Commission would like an opportunity
to report to the City Council at its meeting on December l..
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.

It must' be emphasized that with only 150 questionnaires in circulation,
every response becomes vitally important. The direction of the entire
study will be determined by those who do return the forms to the
Commission.
A summary of the survey will be presented to the City Council. That
information will also be made available to your organization.
Al-hough every attempt has been made to identify organizations in
'-diva, some may have been overlooked. If you know of sorl-!e groups
that would_be especially interested in participating in the study,
would you list them on the back of the questionnaire?
The Edina Bicentennial Commission thanks you for your time and effort.
