Van Valkenburg.
MINUTES of April 21, 1975, were approved as submitted by motion of Councilman

STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENT NO. P -ST.S -143 CONTINUED TO JUNE 16, 1975. Being advised
that proper notice had not been given on Storm Sewer Improvement No. P -ST.S -143,
Councilman Courtney's motion was seconded by Councilwoman Schmidt and carried,
setting a new hearing date for June 16, 1975.
COLONIAL CHURCH OF EDINA ZONING REQUEST CONTINUED TO JUNE 2, 1975. Affidavits of
Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file.
Mr. Luce presented the request of Colonial Church of Edina for a zoning change from
PRD -2 Residential District to PRD -1 Planned Residential District for property gen-
erally located North of the Crosstown Highway, South of Olinger Blvd., East of
Bredesen Park and Village 9 and West of Countryside Park and the Edina Fire Station.
Mr. Luce recalled that the staff had recommended that town houses were the highest
and best use for the property but that the Planning Commission had recommended in
favor of Colonial Church as being a reasonable use for the property. Mr. Hyde
said that it might be that a portion of this twenty -five acre site might have to
be taxed as excess land unless it was actually put to use by the church. It.was
clarified that minimum size required for the site for a...church is five acres.
Mr. Larry Laukka, member of the Building Committee of the church, said that
the church has outgrown its present location at 56th and Wooddale Avenue. He
reviewed the history of the church and said that the proposed church would contain
650 seats and parking provisions for'220 cars. Mr. Laukka explained that the
church had been designed with the town houses and homes in the area in mind as to
scale and shape. Mr. Hamel, the architect, presented the site plan and cross
sections illustrating the entire parking lot, explaining that much of the build-
ing itself would be hidden by a.15 foot berm which would be constructed to the
North. He explained that the parking lot would be depressed into the hill and
that the long driveways desigiied.to provide access to the site would accom-
modate traffic without causing a problem in the neighborhood, adding that the
church is complying with the standards of the Environmental Quality Commission and
the Watershed District. In response to a question of Councilman Richards, it was
explained that the buildable portions of the site are limited and that the exten-
sion of the hill would shield the parking lot from view of the neighbors and would
provide for sound abatement. Discussion was had as to the comparative traffic
patterns of a church as opposed to traffic patterns of the town houses originally
proposed. Mr. Hyde pointed out that the church is providing parking facilities
which would be adequate for 650 seats, but that if the size of the church should
be increased to 1,000 seats, the parking lot would have to be increased 50 %. Mr.
Hamel said that those parking facilities could be constructed along the Western
boundary. "Council was assured that the church would be glad to discuss the matter
of the land immediately adjacent to the park with City officials. Mr. Russell
Spence,, 5900 Olinger Blvd., said that neighbors had met with representatives of the
church, and, while not generally opposed to the rezoning or general plans, did have
the following concerns about the layout: 1) Could the entire site be moved to
South toward the Crosstown Highway; thus saving the hill? 2) Does the road need
to come in from Tracy Avenue and circle in front of the town houses? 3) Proximity
of the parking area to neighbors on the West and the North; 4) The type of light-
ing that may be used; 5) The possibility of moving the parking lot; 6) Concern
about landscaping the berm; 7) The possibility of constructing ingress and
egress from Tracy Ave. Mr. Spence then requested that the hearing be continued
for thirty days so that residents could meet again with the church, and sub-
mitted a petition requesting that the matter be held over for thirty days so
that alternate proposals could be discussed for building "an adequate church com-
plex for its use without moving lakes, destroying lovely hills and replacing them
with asphalt parking lots, building unnecessary roads and doing other damage to
the adjacent homeowners and to the residents of the Village of Edina in general:"
Mr. Daniel Grant, representing residents of Nine Mile Village joined in Mr.
Spence's request. Mr. Laukka recalled that Pemtom had proposed to eliminate the
hill entirely and said that the church has used extreme concern and care in the
proposed development and that they would meet with residents at the time they are
developing their landscape plans, and advised that the purchase agreement between
the church and Pemtom expires next month. Mr. Luce explained that this hearing
is only for concept approval and that the project would have to go back to the
Planning Commission with final development plans before coming back to the Council.
5/19/75
Following considerable discussion, Councilman Courtney's motion was seconded by
Councilman Shaw and carried, continuing the hearing for two weeks in order to
give additional time for further discussion between the church and the neighbors.
Mr. Laukka reminded Council that he does not believe that it will be economically
feasible to encroach further on the pond. In reponse to a question of Councilman
Shaw, Mr. Laukka said that there has been some discussion of building a home for
the aged on the site but that there are no specific plans at this time.
ORDINANCE NO. 811 -A61 CONTINUED TO JUNE 2, 1975. Affidavits of Notice were pre-
sented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file. Countilman
Shaw's motion was seconded by Councilman Courtney and carried, that the hearing
on Ordinance No. 811 -A61 be continued to June 2, 1975, to give Council an oppor-
tunity to study the ordinance.
VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY ( EDINA GREEN) REQUEST FOR ZONING CHANGE CONTINUED TO
JUNE 2, 1975. Affidavits of Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form
and ordered placed on file. Mr. Luce presented the petition of Village Develop-
ment Company (Edina Green) for a zoning change from R -1 Residential District to
R -2 Multiple Residence District and PID Planned Industrial District for property
located generally East of County Road 18 and South of Malibu Drive. He also
advised... that the proposal calls for abandoning Lincoln Drive through the area
in question, and that the formal hearing on abandoning the road would be held at
the next meeting. Mayor Van Valkenburg questioned the reasons for abandoning
Lincoln Drive, in view of the fact that residents in the area need additional
means of ingress and egress to the North and West. Stating that about seven
acres of the 18.9 acre site is in the flood plain and cannot-be built upon any-
way, Councilman Richards suggested that the City require cash in lieu of park-
lands. Mr. Edward E. Powers, 5500.Parkview Lane, objected that -the'size'of the
lots in the proposed plat would be detrimental to his property. Mr. Luce
explained that it is typical for lots on a cul -de -sac to have a smaller street
frontage and that the average -lot is 13,000 square feet, being slightly larger
to the North and considerably larger to the East. 'Mr. Rick Davies said that he
represented.Parkwood Road and Malibu Drive residents and requested that the
matter be continued to give residents a better opportunity to review the plat
and so that Schaefer Road and View Lane residents could be advised of the devel-
opment an&:so that the overall development plan could be studied with traffic
problems in mind. Mr. Andrew Montgomery -of Parkwood Road urged that the matter
be continued so that the vacation of Lincoln Drive could be discussed at the
same time as the plat and zoning. Mr. Gary Peterson, President of Village Dev-
elopment Company suggested that Council and neighbors drive through Arrowhead
Addition and compare the type of development. Considerable discussion ensued,
following which Councilman Courtney's motion was seconded by Councilwoman Schmidt
and carried, continuing the hearing to June 2, 1975, in order to study the over-
all plan for the area.
EDINA GREEN PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL CONTINUED TO JUNE 2, 1975. Affidavits of
Notice-were presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file.
The preliminary plat for Edina Green having been generally discussed with the
zoning change requested by Village Development Company, Councilman Courtney's
motion to continue.the hearing on Preliminary Plat Approval for Edina Green
until June 2, 1975, was seconded by Councilwoman Schmidt and carried.
DON BYERLY REGISTERED LAND SURVEY GRANTED PRELIMINARY APPROVAL.:- Affidavits of
Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file.
Mr. Luce presented Don Byerly Registered Land Survey, located at 5204 Blake Road,
for preliminary approval. He pointed out that the Registered Land Survey is made
up of Lots 39, 40 and.the North half of Lot 41, Auditor's Subdivision Number 325
and Outlot A, Evanswood 2nd Addition and that it is proposed to create two lots
out of all of the property. Planning Commission had recommended approval and
said that the property could be served with sewer and watermain. City Attorney
Erickson responded to questions from the Council by recalling that the ordinance
provides that only one building may be constructed on any one lot. Councilman
Courtney thereupon offered the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION APPROVING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL
FOR DON BYERLY REGISTERED LAND SURVEY
BE IT RESOLVED that that Registered Land Survey, platted by Don Byerly and pre-
sented at the Council Meeting of the City of Edina on May 19, 1975, generally
located at 5204 Blake Road (Lots 39, 40 and the North half of Lot 41, Auditor's .
Subdivision Number 325 and Outlot A, Evanswood 2nd Addition) be and is hereby
granted preliminary approval.
Motion for adoption of the resolution was seconded by Councilman Shaw and on
rollcall there were five ayes and no nays and the resolution was adopted.
5/19/75
EDINA OFFICE AND PRODUCTION CENTER (7651 -97 WASHINGTON AVENUE) DETERMINED
"DANGEROUS" WITHIN MEANING OF ORDINANCE NO. 471. Mr. Erickson recalled that owners
of the Edina Office and Production Center at 7651 -97 Washington Ave. S., and
Inland Construction Company had agreed to cooperate in the installation of a
sprinkling system, but had taken no action at this time. Fire Chief Robert Bur -
esh presented slides of the building and explained the various problems and
dangers involved,.particularly because of the existence of unprotected structural
steel in the building. Chief Buresh explained "fire resistance" and pointed out
that the building does not meet the Building Code. He said that he had surveyed
the building and had estimated the cost of installation of a sprinkler system to
be between $51,000 and $55,000, or 5% of the value of the building. Mr. Erickson
pointed out that, even though a Certificate of Compliance had.been issued, the
City - p p . technology . - he enforcement of -
Cit is still entitled to keep u' with current technolo in t
its ordinances. Councilman Shaw thereupon offered the following resolution and
moved its adoption:
----- -- -- RESOLUTION

at 7651 -7697 Washington Ave., legally described as Tract D; and that part of Tract

Land Survey No. 1283, Files of Registrar of Titles, County of Hennepin, and owned by
Edina Office and Production Center, are dangerous and should be repaired and directs
the City Attorney to prepare Findings of Fact and an Order for approval by the
Council.
Motion for adoption of the resolution was seconded by Councilman Courtney and on
rollcall there were five ayes and no nays and the resolution was adopted.
WATER TREATMENT CHEMICALS BID AWARDED. Mr. Hyde.recalled.that, with the large
quantity of chemicals used by the City, the delivery system with two dealers
for bids awarded by Hennepin County would have been impractical. He advised that
the price for the only bid received in response to Advertisement for Bids in the
Edina Sun and the Construction Bulletin was very good and recommended award of
bids to the only bidder, Van Waters and Rogers (formerly Lyons Chemicals) for the
following:
70,000 lbs. chlorine at $18.92 per 1504 cylinder - $8,820.00
100,000 lbs. hydroflousilicic Acid at 69e per pound - $69,000.00
Councilman Courtney's motion was thereupon seconded by Councilwoman Schmidt and
carried, for award of bid to Van Waters and Rogers as recommended.by the City
Manager.
REQUEST'FOR ORDINANCE 331 AMENDMENT NOTED. Council's attention was called to a
letter from Ms. Elizabeth Selden, 6212 Crest Lane, requesting that Section 1 of
Ordinance No. 331 be amended by the addition of "... or any cat, or cats, which .
consistently stalk with the intent to maim and kill birds and small animals
indigenous to the natural setting of private property." Councilman Courtney
said that it would be difficult to determine the "intent" of the cat and that
such an amendment would be difficult to enforce. He recalled that, under the
existing ordinance, Ms. Selden could file a complaint about the cat. No action
was taken.

and carried, accepting the following petitions and referring them to the Engineer-

OPEN SPACE,,P-.ARK LAND AND PARK CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS BOND ISSUE ELECTION TO BE HELD.
Mr. Hyde referred to Recommended Transfers prepared by Mr. Dalen after review of
various park related funds as instructed by the Council at its meeting of May 5,
5/19/75
1975. Mr. Dalen advised that owners of some of the land under consideration for
acquisition by the City had been approached and that they are asking 40% more
than had been expected. In view of this fact, Mr. Dalen recommended that a
referendum for a bond issue of approximately $2,950,000 be submitted to the
voters. He added that within the next month or so, the City should have a good
idea of just -how much the anticipated land acquisition should cost. Mr. Dalen
reviewed recommended transfers of funds needed to cover the Park Department
deficits which were set forth in his Statement of Recommended Transfers. He
said that the General Fund analysis has not been completed for 1974, so he
does not have a firm figure regarding the balance in the surplus accounts, but
estimated the amount to be about $100,000. He also recommended that the pro -
posed Art Center should be part of the-bond issue, but added that, if Council
wished to build the Center before the bond issue, Revenue Sharing Funds could
be used for this purpose. Mr. Hyde concurred in Mr. Dalen's recommendations
that the transfers be approved to clear up outstanding deficits before the bond
issue. In response, -to-a question from Mayor Van Valkenburg, Councilman Richards
said that it had been his understanding that Council would make the transfers
for those items that were not included in the deficits and that the net items
would be eliminated from the park recommendations items included in the bond
issue. Mr. Vincent McConville, Jr.,. Chairman of the Open Space Committee,
recommended approval of the transfers. In response to a question of an uniden-
tified lady in the audience, Mr. Hyde said that the proposal presented at the
Council Meeting of May 2, 1975 for Open Space included property South of Cahill
School, Lincoln-Drive -- property-, - Garden_- Park,: Krahl -Hill and- -the Moore property
on Melody Lake, for a total,of $450_,000. He added that park lands proposed to
be. acquired would include parts -of the Hedberg and Carl Hansen properties,
McCauley Trail property, the Moore property on Mirror Lakes and the Rutledge
-house on Rutledge Avenue, for a total of $500,000. Mr. Jack Rice, Chairman of
the Park.Board, said that the Board hadr16t had an opportunity to review Mrs-
Dale-a's recommendations and requested that the matter be continued'for its review.
Mr. Rice also recommended`.�that action b e taken this year on:the offer of the
Thorpe family to provide matching funds for the construction of a hockey rink in
Utley Park. Mr. Dalen said that this project could be included in the bond
issue and still be accomplished in the fall. Mr. Dalen suggested that the Utley
Park proposal-could be continued until after the next Park Board meeting. Council-
man Courtney's motion approving the transfers at this time died for lack of a
second. Councilwoman Schmidt's motion that the transfer of funds be continued
to the next meeting was then seconded by.Councilman Courtney and carried. Council-
man Courtney then moved that a referendum consisting of three questions on the
acquisition of Open Space, acquisition of Park Lands and Park Development be held
on September 23, 1975. Motion was seconded by Councilman Shaw and on rollcall
there were five ayes and no nays and the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Richard
Seaberg, 6108 Arctic.Way, said.that proponents.of the bond issue are not really
working together and suggested that the Council seriously consider "one package"
for the bond issue because he believed that three separate alternates would
create internal conflict and confusion. Mr. Seaberg also suggested that Council
appoint a "Sell Committee" immediately. Mayor Van Valkenburg then suggested
that Mr. Hyde, Mr. Dalen and Mr. Rosland work together with someone from the Park
Board and a member of the Open Space Committee to get the specific facts before the
public. He then thanked the Park Board and the Open Space Committee for their .
efforts in determining the needs of the City.
FRANCE AVENUE PRELIMINARY PLAN APPROVAL CONTINUED TO JUNE 2, 1975. Mr. Dunn pre-
sented a preliminary plan submitted by Hennepin County for increasing France Ave.
between the Crosstown Highway and W. 70th Street to six lanes of traffic and for
signalization and indication of turning lanes. Mrs. William Scott, 6613 Southdale
Drive, questioned the wisdom of tearing up France Avenue at the same time that
T.H. 100 was undergoing construction. She also asked about plans for the inter-
section of France Ave. at Interstate Highway 494. Following some discussion,
Councilwoman Schmidt's motion was seconded by Councilman Courtney and carried
that the matter be continued to June 2, 1975, so that Mr. Dunn could contact the
County for answers of these questions.

man Richards

SUBJECT: Award of Chemical -Bid
i
On 12 May, 1975, at 11:00 A .'M. bids for.water department chemicals were opened
in the council room.
If- you will remember, we b.id,.this item even.- though. Hennepin County. Co-op purchasing
had a price for 1975 -76, the - reason being -:that Hennepin County had awarded hydro -.
f`luosi'1'icic. acid to one dealer and the chlorine to another dealer. With 'the
large quantities we use, the delivery system.involved would have been far too
impractical. As a result, the city.drew up its own specification and bids. Only
one bid was received and this is the breakdown.:...
Hydrofluosil.icic Acid 69t /Gal. (County - 79t /Gal.)
Chlorine $18.90/1.50# Cylinder (County --$18.91/150#)
The prices are very good and the log- istical problem is now cleared up with one
supplier for both items, therefore, to the one and only bidder, Van Waters and
Rogers (formerly Lyons Chemical s),..2313 Wycliff Street, St. Paul, Minnesota.
Please::; =Note:

Dear Mr. Dalen:
Pursuant to our conversation concerning the comsumer
deposit involved in the connection charge to the
water system, this note will serve to inform you that
we would prefer to amortise the cost over the remainder
of the assessment period.
It is our understanding that this can be accomplished
over a six year period on the basis of 1 /6th of the
total cost of $738.07 per year at 57. interest.
The property involved is located at 5213 Doncaster Way
and is identified by m Lot 1, Block 2 Rosendahl's Second
Addition.
Further, it is my understanding that on receipt of this
requests, the permit will be issued covering the connection.
Sincerely,

to be donated as it is in the flood plain. Mr. Rosland stated in theory the Board
could request both land and cash; however, this was not procedure in the past and
he doubted this would be possible.
Mr. Pavek moved to approve Planning Request S- 74 -13.. Mr. Turnbull seconded
and the motion was approved.

at both schools.
X. UTLEY PARK
Mr. Rice. brought the Park Board up -to -date on the conversations held with the
Thorpe family and the, Vlooddal.e_Neighborhood Council regarding a major skating
facility to be constructed at Utley Park.,
The consensus of the groups- involved was that they were not concerned about
the. traffic problems that would occur and desired a full skating area at the Park.
In: regards to renaming the Park, Mr. Pavek requested that Mr. Rosland research
the present status of the Utley family.
After considerable discussion, members concurred that the staff communicate
to the Thorpe family that before any additional discussions are heard by the Park
Board, that they submit to the, Park Board an approval letter from the Wooddale
PTA, St. Stephens. Church, Wooddale Nei.ghborhood -CounciI - and Edina Country Club.

SERVICES
HEALTH COUNSELING — the public health nurse
teaches and encourages sound health practices to help
people stay well; reinforces and interprets physicians'
recommendations to help people get well. Her efforts
are directed toward the physical and emotional well
being of individuals and families.
NURSING CARE OF THE SICK AND DISABLED —the
professional nurse administers needed medications and
treatments to the sick and disabled in their homes in
accordance with the physician's plan of care. She
assesses the total nursing needs of patients and together
with the patient, his family, and other members of the
health team, plans for a coordinated program of care
designed 'to meet those needs. Patients and families
are taught measures of care _to enable the patient to
safely remain in his own home.
HOME HEALTH AIDE —the non - professional health aide
is trained to provide simple personal care to patients,
to recognize the need for more specialized care and to
report same to the professional nurse under whose
supervision she works. The home health aide may also
perform light housekeeping tasks as they relate to the
care, comfort and safety of the patient.
PHYSICAL THERAPY — the registered physical therapist
accompanies nursing personnel to assess patients'
potential, evaluate effectiveness of thecurrent rehabilita-
tion nursing program and recommend additional pro-
cedures to further the patient in his rehabilitation
process. Home bound physical therapy is available to
Medicare beneficiaries upon the request oftheattending
physician.
CLINIC SERVICES — Well Child Clinics are a resource i
for families who, because of limited financial means,
might not otherwise be able to avail themselves of well
child medical guidance and supervision.
Immunization clinics supplement the efforts of private
medicine and are available for families of limited income.
SCHOOL HEALTH — consultation is provided schools
that do not have other nursing services available to
them. Trained technicians, utilized in the vision and
hearing screening programs, enable the public health
nurse to devote her in- school time to problems of
individual pupils and in assisting faculty with health
education programs.

To the Members of LOGIS
Gentlemen:
The joint and Cooperative Agreement under which LOGIS was organized states
under Article VI, Powers and Duties of the Board, Section 7, "It shall cause an
annual independent audit of the books to be made and shall make an annual
financial accounting and report in writing to the members. Its books and records
shall be available for and open to examination by its members at all reasonable
times. "
Submitted herewith is the annual report for the period ending December 31, 1974.
In July 1974, LOGIS converted from a manual bookkeeping system to the computer-
ized LOGIS financial system. As a result of the substantially increased accounting
capabilities, portions of this report are expressed in a programmed format rather
than the traditional line item format. It is hoped that this method of presentation
will provide the reader with more meaningful information.

GENERAL COMMENTS
The Local Government Information Systems association ( LOGIS) was formed
under the Minnesota joint Powers Act to provide an organization through which
the member municipalities may jointly and cooperatively provide for the esta-
blishment, operation and maintenance of data processing facilities and manage-
ment information systems for the use and benefit of the members and others.
The Articles of Agreement became effective May 25, 1972, and bylaws were
adopted on October 25, 1972. .
Method of Operation
LOGIS is to operate under an annual budget approved by the Board of Directors
at the July meeting. Members have until the succeeding October 15 to decide
to withdraw from the organization should they choose not to accept the budgeted
assessments.
LOGIS expenditures follow a three -step process. First, a budget must be adopted
by the Board of Directors. That budget includes a determination of expenditures
for three classifications: Class 1 is to cover all administrative expenses of the
organization; Class 2 consists of capital investments; and Class .3 consists of
operating expenditures. The administrative or Class 1 expenses are accounted
for in a traditional line item accounting manner. Capital investment or Class ?
is accounted for under a project accounting system which permits the identifica-
tion of each expenditure to _- project that has been approved by the organization.
Operating expenditures or Class 3 expenses are controlled.by the individual
members who use the system and are, therefore, accounted as an enterprise,.
These expenses are not budgeted by LOGIS but rather a schedule. of rates is
adopted by the members and those rates used as a basis for charging member
agencies for services received. Following adoption of the budget at a time
determined by program development and cash flow requirements, the Executive
Committee makes a determination as to when and how much of the Class 1 and
Class 2 budgeted sums are to be assessed to the members. The third step in
the process requires specific approval of expenditures by the Executive Director
for those matters-which are within his authority or by the Executive Committee
for those matters which do not fall within the former category. In any event, all
disbursements for Class 1 2, and 3 must be approved by the Executive Committee
and checks for such disbursements must be signed by the President or Vice President
and the Secretary- Treasurer or Executive Director.
The financial statements contained herein are presented on the accrual basis.
The Board of Directors during 1974 adopted policies for.the amortization of the
deferred system development costs. Because the system was still under sub-
stantial development during 1974, it was the determination of the Board that such
amortization would not begin until 1975.

Organization
LOGIS is organized in a manner somewhat analogous to a council- manager form
of government. The Board of Directors, consisting of a representative from each
member agency, is analogous to the electorate. The 5- member Executive Com-
mittee is analogous to a municipal council with the President serving in a manner
similar to a mayor. The Executive Committee in turn selects a chief administra-
tive officer designated the Executive Director.
As a matter of administrative convenience and to avoid the costs of establishing
an independent agency, LOGIS has elected to operate within the structure of the
Metropolitan Council. Under the current arrangement, the Council has agreed to
hire those employees designated by the LOGIS Executive Committee at the salaries
designated by the Executive C, mmittee. LOGIS, in turn., reimburses the Council
at a rate sufficient to cover direct and indirect employment costs. In addition,
office rent, materials and other labor charges (for example, for the use of Council
legal staff) are accumulated and charged back to LOGIS on a monthly basis.
During 1974, LOGIS executed an agreement with the Board of Commissioners of
Hennepin County which permits the Hennepin County Data Processing Center to
serve as the local operating agency for LOGIS. Conditions of the agreement
assure that LOGIS member agencies will be given priority on an equal basis with
Hennepin County operating departments, that the costs of providing service to
LOGIS will be billed at a no profit no loss basis, and that the integrity and security
of data belonging to LOGIS member agencies will be protected.
LOGIS Objective
The objective of LOGIS as adopted by the membership is to establish a computer
based management information system for use by Minnesota municipalities through
the acquisition and transfer of the Sunnyvale /GEMUNIS. system for operation by
mid -1973. As that objective evolved, operation began in mid -1973 on a remote
basis. That is, by interconnecting Minnesota municipalities to the computer
system in residence at Optimum Systems Incorporated of Santa Clara, California.
Following the initial operating period, the decision was made to purchase GEMUNIS
and transfer it to Minnesota. It was further decided that during the period of trans-
fer and testing, all LOGIS members would be permitted to operate remotely on the
system at OSI and at the same time as a result of "hands on" experience with the
system, decisions would be made concerning system improvements to be incorpor-
ated. Thus, the final objective for the first phase of the LOGIS management infor-
mation system becomes one of completing the transfer effort along with the basic
system improvements by 1975.
Systems Development
During 1974, a number of major tasks were undertaken. The largest of these
involved the acquisition and transfer of the GEMUNIS system. The cost of $96,178
Me
covered a 99 -year lease of five basic modules and the technical and computer
resources required to install the.system at HCDP on a test basis. These modules
are: The On -Line Executive (the teleprocessing handler of the LOGIS system) ,
the Payroll /Personnel subsystem, the Utility Billing subsystem, the Financial
Control subsystem, and the Equipment Control subsystem. Additional costs for
transfer and installation will be incurred during 1975. . The second largest task
expended $42,264 to convert the charter members of LOGIS to the use of the
GEMUNIS system on a remote basis. This task included the cost of training
LOGIS personnel in the use of the system, training the charter member represent-
atives in the use of the system, the first month's computer charges incurred
during the conversion process and the costs of. local telephone service associated
with the telecommunications network. An additional $2,094 was spent in esta-
blishing a local printing capability. The agreement with :OSI. for providing ongoing
computer services to LOGIS m --mber agencies stipulates that the cost of interstate
data transmission, that is, a full duplex leased line and associated modems and
multiplexing devices, is to be paid for out of a .reserve fund established by OSI
consisting of 90% of.the acquisition cost of the GEMUNIS system. There is,
however, a provision in the contract that requires that the.data processing
business volume with OSI average $10,000 a month during the term of the service
contract. In the event that the business volume averages less than that amount,
LOGIS will be required to pay a proportionate share of the accumulated telepro-
ces-sing expenses which is equal to the percentage volume less than $10,000 a
month, Thus., the cost of the remote conversion project during 1975 will include
the teleprocessing expense to 'the extent LOGIS retains a 'liability upon completion
of conversion to operation locally, and the cost of bringing the remaining
charter members upon the GEMUNIS financial. system.
Another task of major importance involved the expenditure of- $14,172 for various
improvements and enhancements to the GEMUNIS system. In addition to those
ifi
improvements which have been completed, $31,288 in enhancements and mod'
cations is under contract for completion during the first half. of 1975.
The GEMUNIS system can be looked on as the. nucleus of the. LOGIS information
.system. Additional capabilities will be added as members determine the need
for and priorities of these improvements. During 1974., several areas of investi-
gation were began which looked toward future additions to the system. An investi-
gation of the City of Anoka Liquor Inventory Control System to determine its appli-
cability to the LOGIS system as well as to the needs of member municipalities.,
concluded that that system would not be transferable per se. The $2,.8,10 in this
task can serve as the foundation for development of a liquor inventory control
subsystem if those members having municipal liquor operations wish to proceed
-with such a development.
The feasibility of establishing a licenses and ;permits subsystem. is currently
under investigation. _The $2 , 500 invested in this effort during 1974 represents
approximately half of the task to be completed.
The major investigation for 1974 regarding new system development consisted of
$5 ,999 to determine the feasibility of establishing a geographic 'subsystem for
-7-
LOGIS members. The results of that investigation were presented to the membership
at its meeting in January 1975. A.second phase feasibility study was recommended
as a continuation of the effort to be conducted, during 1975..
The expenditures for, developmental projects out -lined above; in addition to. prior
capital investments of $108,309, represent a total investment in systems devel-
opment of $286,719 This compares favorably, with the total project cost ofacqui-
sition and development of $300,000 presented to the membership in July 1972 .
Operations
In addition to the three members which were operating on the system in 1973, all
LOGIS municipal members beg n operating on the system via the remote telecom -
munications network. during 1974. The method of operating is as follows: The
user agency is'provided with a teletype - compatible terminal" (all present users
have a GE Terminet 300 equipped with a remote adding machine key cluster) ,
operating at 30 characters per second. The user dials a Twin Cities number on
a standard desk telephone to access the computer center. The telephone handset
is placed in an accoustic coupling device, the user signs on and is ready to
operate. All data entry and scheduling of reports and payroll is through the
terminal. At the end of the business day during third shift, the computer center
processes the day's input and generates whatever payrolls utility bills or reports
have been ordered by the user. The output of the processing cycle is loaded on
a remote :print cue at Santa Clara. The third shift operator at, the Hennepin County
Data Processing center brings up a remote terminal at HCDP "and prints whatever
material is sitting on the pp. -In1t cue. From 7 :00 to 9:00 A..M., the data .control
section of HCDP sorts the reports and prepares them for delivery. Between 9:00
and 9:30 A.M. a courier picks up the materials to be delivered and delivers it
to the user agencies by 1:00 P.M. When operation is established at HCDP', the
method of operation will continue exactly as before. The. only difference is that
the night processing will be done at HCDP instead of at Santa Clara,. California.

Future Plans
The two top priority tasks for 1975 are the completion of the .transfer effort and
having all member agencies operational locally, on the system, and incorporating
enhancements to the utility billing, payroll, and financial subsystems.
Other areas of emphasis which will be pursued as resources permit include the
expansion of membership and decisions concerning the selection of second
priority subsystems which are to be implemented.
During 1974, the Intergovernmental Information'Services Advisory Council ( IISAC)
voted to recommend to the Commissioner of Administration grants of $148,000 to
be used by LOGIS. for the reduction of capital assessments to present member
agencies and to cover the cost of any obligations of the State as a participating
member of LOGIS through June 1975. In addition, IISAC voted a grant to LOGIS
of $75,000 for the. purpose of bringing in five new member agencies by July 1975.
At least two such member agencies should be outstate cities or counties. The
purpose of the $75,000 is to cover the buy -in cost of the new members as provided
by the LOGIS Joint Powers Agreement.
Long range plans of LOGIS call for reduction of operating costs over those experi-
enced at OSI, developing a full scale management information system, decentral-
izing certain critical functions to the municipal offices, and providing. services to
any Minnesota governmental agency wishing. to use the system. Because -of the
distance between the LOGIS computer center and some outstate communities, the
practicality of providing a batch oriented LOGIS system for operation on existing
computer facilitias.at other locations around the state must be considered. The
long range role of LOGIS in providing services to outlying. communities may very
well be in the area of systems development, maintenance, documentation, and
training as opposed to that of a direct service supplier to all users.

Local Government Information Systems Association
St. Paul, Minnesota
We have examined the balance sheet of the Local Government Information Systems
Association as of December 31, 1974 and the related statement of revenue,
expenditures and fund balance for the year then ended. Our examination
was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and
accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other
auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
In our opinion, the aforementioned financial statements present fairly the
financial position of the Local Government Information Systems Association at
December 31, 1974 and the results of their operations for the year ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a
consistent basis.
The accompanying supplemental schedules and related information presented on
pages 20 to 23 are not necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
statements, but are presented as additional analytical data. This information
has been subjected to the tests and other auditing procedures applied in the
examination of the financial statements mentioned above and, in our opinion,
is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole.

1 . Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: The accounting policies of LOGIS
conform to generally accepted accounting principles as applicable to govern-
mental units. The following is a summary of the significant policies:
Basis of Accounting : - The accrual basis of accounting is followed by all funds.
Investments: Investments are stated at cost.
General Fixed Assets: General fixed assets purchased are recorded as expend-
itures in the Class 2 fund at the time of purchase. Such a.ssets are capitalized
at cost in the Class 2 group of accounts. Depreciation has been provided on
general fixed assets depending on the type of asset. Equipment and fixtures
are depreciated.on a. straight line basis unless introduction of a new product
has resulted in substantial depreciation of a piece of equipment due to technical
obsolescence. System software as purchased by LOGIS .is recorded at original
purchase price plus the cost of transfer, installation, and test. The software
will be depreciated on a sum of the year's digit basis beginning January 1 , 1975 ,
at which time initial acquisition, transfer, and operation will have been com-
pleted. .
2. The City of New Hope withdrew from LOGIS during 1973 contesting the payment
of any membership charges. The balance due from members account includes
$810 Class l charges and $10,000 Class 2 charges for the year 1972. In addition,
$3,725 Class l charges and $12,500 Class 2 charges for 1973 are included. Suit
has been filed for the collection of $23,626. 10 from New Hope, trial was held
on January 30, 1975, and it is the opinion of legal counsel that LOGIS will pre -
vail in the matter. However, a reserve of $27,035 has been established in the
event that a major.portion of the debt proves uncollectable.
3. Contingent Liability: The principal supplier of computer services to LOGIS
during 1974 was the firm of Optimum Systems Incorporated of Santa Clara,
California. The contractual agreement with OSI provides that that firm will pay
all teleprocessing expensE�s providing the volume of business with LOGIS aver-
ages $10,000. a month for the duration of the contract. To the extent that the
actual volume of business is less than that amount, LOGIS, upon termination
of the contractual agreement with OSI, will be responsible, for its proportionate
share of the accumulated teleprocessing expense. If the agreement with OSI
were terminated December 31, 1974, the LOGIS liability for accumulated tele-
processing expense would.be $9,893. Projections would indicate that if the
schedule for transfer of services from OSI to the. Hennepin County computer
center is adhered .to , the final liability to OSI will approximate $5,000.
-18-
4. Deferred Revenue :. Grants of $75,000 and $13,600 were received from the State
of Minnesota to cover the initial capital requirements of five. new members and
obligations of the State of Minnesota as a participating member of LOGIS'. These
grant.s.will be recognized as revenue as new members join LOGIS under the grant
procedure and as obligations of the State become liquidated.
5. Class 3 Budget: Computer services are supplied to LOGIS members in accordance
with the members request for services. Members are billed for those services
according to a schedule of rates adopted as part of the budget. Accordingly, a
line item budget is not adopted for the operations fund.

LOGIS: A Cooperative Municipal Information System
Background
The application of modern computer technology
in local government administration has been
increasing at a rapid rate. According to the
National Bureau of Standards, there were over
3,400 general purpose computers installed in
state and local governments as of March, 1973.
That figure does not include the significant
number of special purpose computers designed
for handling limited and specialized technical
applications, e.g., traffic control, communica-
tions, accounting, etc. In addition, millions of
dollars are spent each year to purchase data
processing services from service bureaus, time-
sharing companies, banks, and accounting
firms. Yet, the high cost of data processing_ ser -_
vices has precluded a significant number of
small and medium size communities from uti-
lizing the computer for their functions.
This report examines the efforts of ten
municipalities in the Minneapolis —St. Paul, Min-
nesota suburban area who have organized for the
purpose of developing and implementing a shared
computer -based information system. These
municipalities have formed the Local Government
Information System (LOGIS). An evaluation team
was sent to the area under the auspices of ICMA's
Innovations Project to examine LOGIS and to as-
sess its transfer potential. Their findings are pre-
sented later in this report.
Statement of the Problem
Over the past decade, enormous amounts of scarce
municipal resources have been invested in highly -
trained personnel and sophisticated computer
equipment to provide data processing services for
local government. In many cases, too little atten-
tion was paid to the nature and the use of the
information that was to be produced. Inadequate
analysis of the information needs of the municipal
organization has led to redundancies in the collec-
tion, processing, and storage of data which were
needed by the various operating agencies. In addi-
tion, insufficient attention was often paid to or-
ganizing and summarizing the data collected into a
format that would be useful to the management of
the organization. The use of computers was seen as
essentially a technical matter requiring the hiring of
computer experts and assigning to them the task of
producing programs and running the computer in-
stallation. This lack of top- management involve-
ment is reflected in the soaring costs of municipal
data processing and in the underutilization of much
a computer system's potential capacities. As a re-
sult of these cost and performance factors, small
and medium sized communities have sought alter-
native delivery systems for data processing.
The LOGIS Concept
The LOGIS members have taken a concept which
is gaining increasing acceptance in the public sec-
tor and have applied it on a broad scale. Simply put,
a number of users share a single computer installa-
tion and have access to the computer through on-
line terminals. The members share the cost of the
system's development and pay individually for the
time which they use on the central computer. The
central computer has a number of on -line and batch
programs available. The on -line programs serve for
data entry, update and inquiry capability, while the
batch programs are used to generate high - volume
reports which are subsequently delivered to the
user by courier. Data files for each city are segre-
gated and accessible only to that city.
The cooperation of the members is detailed in a
legally binding agreement among the participating
jurisdictions. This agreement is called a Joint Pow-
ers Agreement. Each municipality in LOGIS,
through its city council, has formally approved the
Joint Powers Agreement and is legally committed
to the obligations, policies, and procedures of the
organization.
Presently there are ten jurisdictions in LOGIS
with populations ranging from 7,258 to 49,772 (see
Table 1). In addition, the Metropolitan Council and
Minnesota Department of Administration serve as
members in the organization but do not utilize the
data processing facilities.
The Origins of LOGIS
In the late 1960's, the city managers and finance
officers from the metropolitan region began to meet
together to consider their data processing needs and
to consider alternatives for meeting those needs.
The increasing pressure on municipal taxes along
with increasing demands for more information
about the manner in which municipal funds were
being expended was creating a serious problem.
The operation of a detailed accounting system
would require substantial additions to municipal
staff. Computerized data) processing was recog-
nized as the obvious solution to this problem, but
the exceedingly high cost of equipment and sys-
tems precluded that alternative for all but the larger
municipalities.
As a result of those discussions, two specific
alternatives were developed. One was to have
Hennepin County provide certain data processing
services to the municipalities. It was believed that
the additional load on the Hennepin County com-
puter would not be substantial and, in fact, would
lead to more efficient utilization of that equipment.
However, the managers and finance officers felt
MIS Innovations Series
that some degree of standardization among the
municipalities that would be using the service
would be advisable. It soon became apparent that
additional technical assistance would be necessary
to pursue this investigation of alternative data pro-
cessing facilities. A consultant was retained by
twelve municipalities most concerned about the
problem. This consultant study took place in 1971
and proposed the establishment of a centralized
operating organization with individual members
purchasing their own mini - computers.
A second alternative was recognized after a
study sponsored by the Minnesota State Depart-
ment of Administration and the Metropolitan
Council examined the feasibility of establishing a
joint data processing capability for city and county
governments utilizing the concepts developed in
the federally sponsored USAC program. The total
program cost was estimated at $2.7 million over a
4 -year period to develop an integrated management
information system.
The Metropolitan Area Managers Association
appointed an adhoc steering committee to review
these proposals, to discuss alternative courses of
action open to the group, to define an approach for
reaching a final decision, and to outline the general
framework for a joint powers arrangement. After
reviewing both proposals, the steering committee
members felt they did not have sufficient informa-
tion to make a recommendation to the total area
managers association. The committee decided to
examine several jurisdictions around the country
who had a reputation for developing strong data
processing operations. The areas visited included
Lane County and Eugene, Oregon; Sunnyvale,
California; the San Gabriel Valley, California; and
Witchita Falls, Texas.
The committee was impressed with the
municipalities they visited and learned from both
the successes and pitfalls that the various commu-
nities have encountered. Among the most impor-
tant lessons learned from the visit were:
1. A cooperative or joint powers approach was
feasible and seemed to be working for the
group in San Gabriel Valley, California
2. There were wide variances in the amount of
investment which the various municipalities
had made. Some cities had installed very ex-
pensive, sophisticated computers and hired
expert staff to run them while others did not
have any computers or data processing staff
at all
3. The benefits of an integrated system for
minimizing duplication and redundancy in
the collection, processing and storage of
data
4. The per- capita costs of data processing dif-
fered considerably among the municipalities
visited.
Perhaps the most significant finding of the com-
mittee during its visit was the close involvement of
top management in Sunnyvale, California. City
manager John Dever and his staff were instru-
mental in developing the concepts, identifying in-
formation needs, setting priorities, specifying sys-
tem characteristics and generally managing their
system's development and operation.
In February, 1972, the committee reported their
findings and recommendations to a meeting of rep-
resentatives of 16 metropolitan area municipalities.
As a result of that meeting the managers developed
a two -step approach to the establishment of a joint
powers organization. First, it was recommended
that interested managers present to their councils a
"Resolution of Intent" which would express the
intent of that particular municipality to join the
organization. Second, a committee of managers
would develop a joint powers agreement which
would then be presented to those councils having
expressed an intent to participate for their formal

adoption. The joint powers agreement would be-
come effective when it had been authorized by ten
governmental units and when executed copies from
each of those municipalities were filed with the
office of Don Poss, city manager of Brooklyn
Center, Minnesota who was, at the time, President
of the Metropolitan Area Managers Association.
On May 25, 1972 LOGIS became a reality.. The
first meeting of the LOGIS Board of Directors was
held on June 21, 1972.
The Joint Powers Agreement
The Joint Powers Agreement provides the basic
organizational framework for LOGIS. Member-
ship in LOGIS is to consist entirely of, and is
limited to, governmental agencies in the State of
Minnesota. At the present time membership con-
sists of ten municipalities with the Metropolitan
Council and the State of Minnesota being members
of LOGIS and paying dues. The latter two agen-
cies, however, do not participate in data processing
operations with LOGIS. Any governmental unit
wishing to join must execute a copy of the Joint
Powers Agreement and also be approved by a 2/3
vote of the members of the Board.
The governing body of LOGIS is its Board of
Directors which consists of one representative from
each member agency. That representative, as pro-
vided in the Joint Powers Agreement, is either the
jurisdiction's city manager /chief administrative of-
ficer or an employee with general management
responsibilities. This provision was deliberately
inserted into the Joint Powers Agreement in order
to ensure that the members' central management
staff would play the key role in the system's de-
velopment. Representatives to the Board of Direc-
tors are appointed by each member's city council
and serve at the pleasure of the council.
The Board is empowered to perform a variety of
activities deemed necessary to accomplish the gen-
eral purpose of the organization. Included in these
activities are:
1. Employ personnel
2. Enter into contracts
3. Establish and collect dues
4. Establish and collect charges for services
5. Establish an annual budget.
While the Joint Powers Agreement empowers
the Board with operating authority for the agency,
the agreement also provides for delegating this
authority to an Executive Committee. The Execu-
tive Committee consists of three officers and two
other board members and has responsibility for
day -to -day operation of LOGIS. The Committee:
1. Sets operating procedures and policies within
constraints of the Joint Powers Agreement
2. Approves expenditures for the organization
3. Prepares the annual budget
4. Reports on its activities to the Board of
Directors.
The Executive Committee has delegated respon-
sibility for day -to -day administration of the organi-
zation to an Executive Director. This position is
provided for in the Joint Powers Agreement but the
document provides very little guidance as to the
position's specific responsibilities. A position de-
scription for the Executive Director has been made
part of LOGIS's by -laws. Mr. Ted Willard pres-
ently serves in this capacity. He was formerly on
the staff of the Metropolitan Council and worked
with the development of LOGIS in its initial
phases.
The balance of the organizational structure of
LOGIS has been created by the Executive Commit-
tee in order to advise the committee on matters
pertaining to the functional operations of the
member agencies as well as technical aspects of
data processing systems. The Systems Evaluation
Committee consists of one representative from
LOGIS
each member jurisdiction and in most cases is the
member's finance officer. This committee's pri-
mary responsibility is to review in detail the opera-
tions of the member agencies in light of system
requirements and to determine, with the assistance
of technical staff, the specific characteristics of the
information system. The Training Committee,
which consists of one representative from each
jurisdiction, has the responsibility of designing and
implementing a comprehensive orientation and
training program for LOGIS member agency em-
ployees. Training recommendations are reviewed
by the Executive Committee for approval prior to
implementation.
Making the System Operational
In May, 1972, a workshop on the Sunnyvale sys-
tem was organized by the Metropolitan Council on
behalf of the yet- to -be- formed LOGIS organiza-
tion. The city manager of Sunnyvale, California
and some of his department heads were invited to
make presentations on the operation of the system
and its impact upon municipal operations. Two
representatives of the private firm that had helped
develop the Sunnyvale system also described their
efforts to develop a generalized version of that
system for transfer to other municipalities. This
generalized system was designed to accommodate
a number of municipalities using the same system
simultaneously. It is this system that was ultimately
selected for implementation by LOGIS.
Upon selection, a contractual arrangement was
concluded between LOGIS and the private firm
for the supply and interim operation of the system
for member municipalities. It was planned that for
the interim period, the system would be tested and,
where necessary, enhanced. After the test period,
the operations will be transferred to the Hennepin
County Data - Processing - Center under a- contract -
executed between the County and LOGIS. This
transfer is scheduled to be completed by the end of
April, 1975.
During the interim period, the LOGIS members
are connected via long distance telephone lines to
the private company's computer in California. On-
line terminals enable each member city to enter
information into its own data base stored in the
California computer. These terminals can also re-
trieve information directly from that data base.
Thus the system provides an on -line inquiry and
response facility to the LOGIS members. When
high volume reports are needed or when output on
special forms is desired (for example, paychecks)
the operation is on a batch mode. In this situation,
the city keys in the codes and descriptive informa-
tion for the processing and printing job it desires.
These are held in storage at the Hennepin County
Computer Center and then forwarded to the Cali-
fornia computer in the evening. In California, the
data is processed and sent back to the Hennepin
County Computer Center which prints out the de-
sired reports. Each morning these reports are sorted
out by operators at the county and distributed to the
appropriate city by courier. It is estimated that the
planned transfer of system operation from Califor-
nia to Hennepin County will lead to a 20% reduc-
tion in operating costs.
LOGIS's approach to system implementation
has emphasized the implementation of individual
modules or applications of the system on a pilot or
test basis. This approach was designed to accom-
plish the following objectives:
1. To gain a preview of what the system's
capabilities were
2. To gain some understanding of the changes
that might be required to better meet the
members' needs
3. To gain better insight into the system's
operating costs
4. To provide a training base for LOGIS
member agency employees.

Fridley was designated to be the pilot city. In June
of 1973, the city implemented the LOGIS payroll
system. According to Fridley's city manager,
Nasim Qureshi, it took approximately a month to
fully understand the workings pf the system, to
eliminate the bugs in it, and to gain confidence that
the system would work successfully. In July, Frid-
ley began implementing the utility billing module
and by the end of 1973 had added the financial
control module for budgetary accounting.
With Fridley operating successfully, the other
LOGIS members began the conversion process.
Golden Valley started on the financial control
module in November, 1973 and on the payroll
system in early 1974. Eden Prairie implemented
the payroll system and utility billing system in early
1974. Crystal began using the utility billing system
in early 1974 and the payroll system by mid -year.
Brooklyn Center began operation on the payroll
system in early 1974 with Brooklyn Park and Edina
following during the third quarter. By the end of
1974, St. Louis Park and Coon Rapids had begun to
use the financial control system. Table 2 gives a
description of when each LOGIS member adopted
the various modules. While the conversion was not
without problems, the rate of conversion had de-
pended upon the ability of city staff to learn how to
use the system and get its records organized ap-
propriately.
Once the transfer to the Hennepin County Data
Processing Center is completed, the LOGIS mem-
bers intend to examine other modules. (See Figure

Financing the LOGIS Organization
The Joint Powers Agreement specifies that a
budget shall be prepared and approved by LOGIS'
Board of Directors and that three major classes of
expenditures shall be identified.
Class I expenditures are for administrative costs
for the organization and include overhead, salaries,
and other direct charges related to the operation of
the organization. These expenditures are assessed
on an equal shares basis to all members.
Class II expenditures are costs for the design and
development of computer programs and other capi-
tal costs. After extensive debate, the Board of Di-
rectors determined that these costs should also be
assessed to the members on an equal share basis.
These expenditures also represent a capital pool
which would be available to agencies joining
LOGIS at a future date. Provisions have been
made, using a specific formula, to assess new
members a proportionate share of the accumulated
capital costs which is then redistributed to the exist-
ing membership thereby reducing the accumulated
capital contribution for any given member.
Through 1974, LOGIS has invested a total of
$285,800 in systems development.
Class III expenditures consist of the cost for
systems operation and maintenance. These expen-
MIS Innovations Series LOGIS March 1975
ditures are billed by the central computer installa-
tion to LOGIS and are then passed on to the mem-
bers on a monthly basis based upon the volume of
activity each member had during the month. In
1974 these individual community charges ranged
from $504 to $31,000.
An Assessment of LOGIS
On February 26-28, an evaluation team was sent to
visit the LOGIS system under the auspices of
ICMA's Innovations Project. The team members
were Robert H. van Deusen, Village Manager,
Glenview, Illinois; Steven Carter, Assistant City
Manager, Sioux City, Iowa; O. Martin Anochie,
Director, ICMA Urban Information Systems Proj-
ect; and Fred S. Knight, ICMA Innovations Project
Director. This is a summary of their findings.
1. The LOGIS members had had previous suc-
cessful experience in working together in
other service areas. The managers were
unanimous that this tradition of cooperation
and particularly, the mutual trust and confi-
dence among the top management of the
municipalities involved, had contributed to
the survival and progress of LOGIS. The
cooperative attitude of the county, the Met-
ropolitan Council and the state were also
identified as very helpful, however, this was
not a determining factor in the success of the
organization.
2. The use of the Resolution of Intent to attain
some commitment from the governing bodies
and the postponement of a detailed discus-
sion on cost allocations helped to shield the
emerging organization from potentially fatal
controversies during the critical formative
stages. Once the cost estimates and alloca-
tion formula were finally adopted one of the
original members decided to withdraw. The
timing of major decisions poses a major
planning problem for similar cooperative
arrangements.
3. The Joint Powers Agreement provided for di-
rect, strong, and continuing top management
involvement in LOGIS' operations. The
members were convinced that a data proces-
sing system should be a management infor-
mation tool and therefore top management
was closely involved in the design, develop-
ment and operation of the system.
4. The LOGIS members wanted to avoid the
necessity of having to design and develop
their own system from scratch. For a variety
of reasons, including considerations of costs,
their inclination was to find a transferable
system that could be adapted to meet their
needs.
5. The absence of hard data makes it difficult to
compare the cost of this system and the cost
of alternative approaches for individual
municipalities. The managers and finance di-
rectors in LOGIS, however, are unanimously
pleased with the system and enthusiastic

6. The willingness of member cities to stan-
dardize certain elements of their operations
and record - keeping coupled with the ability
of the selected system to offer options to
meet unique needs of individual members
were essential to the success of the coopera-
tive approach.
Conclusion
The LOGIS experience indicates that a cooperative
approach executed through a joint powers agree-
ment represents a viable alternative for small and
medium size communities who seek to acquire or
increase data processing capability. Through a
series of carefully planned and incremental steps,
an organizational and operational framework has
been established which meets individual commu-
nity needs and simultaneously preserves the
cooperative effort. While the goal of establishing
an integrated management information system is
not yet a reality, this approach has the potential for
that achievement.
Regardless of whether or not a municipality pro-
vides data processing service in cooperation with
other entities, however, the role of the manager
remains critical. The sustained commitment and
involvement of top management are necessary to
insure that the product of any data processing sys-
tem remains consistent with and relevant to the
management information needs of the jurisdiction.

MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE
EDINA.CITY COUNCIL HELD,.AT CITY HALL ON
MAY 199 1975
Answering_rollcall were members. Courtney, Richards, Schmidt, Shaw and Mayor
Van Valkenburg.
MINUTES of April 21, 1975, were approved as submitted by motion of Councilman
Courtney, seconded by,Councilman Shaw and carried.
STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENT NO. P -ST.S -143 CONTINUED TO JUNE 161 1975. Being advised
that proper notice had not been given on Storm Sewer Improvement No. P -ST.S -143,
Councilman Courtney's motion was seconded by Councilwoman Schmidt and carried,
setting a new hearing date for June 16, 1975.
COLONIAL CHURCH OF EDINA ZONING REQUEST CONTINUED TO JUNE 2, 1975. Affidavits of
Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on.file.
Mr. Luce presented the request of Colonial Church of Edina for a zoning change from
PRD -2 Residential District to PRD -1 Planned Residential District for property gen-
erally located North of the Crosstown Highway, South of Olinger Blvd., East of
Bredesen Park and Village 9 and West of Countryside Park and the.Edina Fire Station.
Mr. Luce recalled that the staff had recommended that town houses were the highest
and best use for the property but that the Planning Commission had recommended in
favor of Colonial Church as being a reasonable use for the property. Mr. Hyde,
=> said that it might be that a portion of this twenty -five acre site might have to
�0 be taxed as excess land unless it was actually put to use by the church_.., It was
clarified that minimum size required for the site for a church is. five acres.
w Mr. Larry Laukka, member of the Building Committee of the church, said that
the church has outgrown its present location at 56th and Wooddale Avenue. He
reviewed the history of the church and said,that the.proposed church would, contain
650 seats and parking provisions for 220..cars. Mr. Laukka explained that the
church had been designed with the town houses and homes in the area in mind as to
scale and shape. Mr. Hamel, the architect, presented the site plan and cross
sections illustrating the entire parking lot, explaining that much of the build-
ing itself would be hidden by a.15 foot berm which would be constructed to the
North. He explained that the parking lot would be depressed into the hill and
that the long driveways desigried.to provide access to the site would accom-
modate traffic without causing a problem in the neighborhood, adding that the
.___P church is complying with the standards of the Environmental Quality Commission and
the Watershed District. In response to a question of Councilman Richards, it was
explained that the buildable portions of the site are limited and that the extenj
sion of the hill would shield the parking lot from view of the neighbors and would
provide for sound abatement. Discussion was had as to the comparative traffic
patterns of a church as opposed to traffic patterns of the town houses originally
proposed. Mr. Hyde pointed out that the church is providing parking facilities
which would be adequate for 650 seats, but that if the size of the church should
be increased to 1,000 seats, the parking lot would have to be increased 50 %. Mr.
Hamel said that those parking facilities could be constructed along the Western
boundary. .Council was assured that the church would be glad to discuss the matter
of the land immediately adjacent to the park with City officials. Mr. Russell
Spence, 5900 Olinger Blvd., said that neighbors had met with representatives of the
church, and, while not generally opposed to the rezoning or general plans, did have
the following concerns about the layout: 1) Could the entire site be moved to
South toward the Crosstown Highway, thus saving the hill? 2) Does the road need
to come in from Tracy Avenue and circle in front of the town houses? 3) Proximity
of the parking area to neighbors on the West and the North; 4) The type of light-
ing that may be used; 5) The possibility of moving the parking lot; 6) Concern
about landscaping the berm; 7) The possibility of, constructing ingress and
egress from Tracy Ave. Mr. Spence then requested that the hearing be continued
for thirty days so that residents could meet again with the church, and sub -
'• witted a petition requesting that the matter be held over for thirty days so
i that alternate proposals could be discussed for building "an adequate church cow-
!_ plex for its use without moving lakes, destroying lovely hills and replacing them
with asphalt parking lots, building unnecessary roads and doing other damage to
the adjacent homeowners and to the residents of the Village of Edina in general."
Mr. Daniel Grant, representing residents of Nine Mile Village joined in Mr.
Spence's request. Mr. Laukka recalled.that Pemtom had proposed to eliminate the
hill entirely and said that the church has used extreme concern and-care in.the
proposed development and that they would meet with residents at the time they are
developing their landscape plans, and advised that the purchase agreement between
the church and Pemtom expires next month. Mr. Luce explained.that this hearing
is only for concept approval and that the project would have to go back to the
Planning Commission with final development plans before coming back to the Council.
5/19/75
Following considerable discussion, Councilman Courtney's motion was seconded by
Councilman Shaw and carried, continuing the hearing, for two weeks in order to
give additional time for further discussion between the church and the neighbors.
Mr. Laukka reminded Council that he does -not believe that:it will be economically
feasible to encroach further on the pond. In reponse to a question of Councilman
Shaw, Mr. Laukka said that there has been some discussion of building a home for
the aged on the site but that there are no specific plans at this time.
ORDINANCE NO. 811 -A61 CONTINUED TO.JUNE 2, 1975. Affidavits of Notice were.pre-
sented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file. Countilman
Shaw's motion was seconded by Councilman Courtney and carried, that the hearing
on Ordinance No. 811 -A61 be continued to June 2, 1975, to give Council an oppor-
tunity to,study the ordinance.
VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY (EDINA GREEN) REQUEST FOR ZONING CHANGE CONTINUED TO
JUNE 2, 1975. Affidavits of Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form
and ordered placed on file. Mr. Luce presented the petition of Village Develop-
ment Company (Edina Green) for a zoning change from R -1 Residential District to
R -2 Multiple Residence District and PID Planned Industrial District for property
located generally East of County Road 18 and South of Malibu Drive. He also
advised, that the proposal calls for abandoning Lincoln Drive through the area
in question, and that the formal hearing.on abandoning the road would be held at
the next meeting. Mayor Van Valkenburg questioned the reasons for abandoning
Lincoln Drive, in view of the fact that residents in the area need additional
means of ingress and egress to the North and West. Stating that about seven
acres of the 18.9 acre site is in the flood plain and cannot be built upon any-
way, Councilman Richards suggested that the City require cash in lieu of park-
lands. Mr. Edward E. Powers, 5500 Parkview Lane, objected that the"size'of the
lots in the proposed plat would be detrimental to his property. Mr. Luce
explained that it is typical for lots,on a cul -de -sac to have a smaller street
frontage and that the average lot is 13,000 square feet, being slightly larger
to the North and considerably larger to the East. Mr.:Rick Davies said that he
represented Parkwood Road and.Malibu Drive residents and requested that the
matter be continued to give residents a better opportunity to review the plat
and so that Schaefer Road and View Lane residents could be advised of the devel-
opment and so that the overall development plan could.be studied with traffic
problems in mind. Mr. Andrew Montgomery of Parkwood Road urged that the .matter
be continued so that the vacation of Lincoln Drive could be discussed at the
same time as the plat and zoning. Mr. Gary Peterson, President of Village Dev-
elopment Company suggested that Council and neighbors drive through Arrowhead
Addition and compare the type of development. Considerable discussion ensued,.
following which Councilman Courtney's motion was seconded by Councilwoman Schmidt
and carried, continuing the hearing to June 2, 1975, in order to study the over-
all plan for the area.
EDINA GREEN PRELIMINARY. PLAT APPROVAL CONTINUED TO JUNE 2, 1975. Affidavits of
Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file.
The preliminary plat for Edina Green having been generally..discusse.d.with.the
zoning change requested by Village Development Company, Councilman Courtney's
motion to continue the hearing on Preliminary,Pla.t Approval for Edina Green
until June 2, 1975, was seconded by Councilwoman Schmidt and carried.
DON BYERLY REGISTERED LAND SURVEY GRANTED PRELIMINARY APPROVAL. Affidavits of
Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file.
Mr. Luce presented Don Byerly Registered Land Survey, located at 5204 Blake Road,
for preliminary approval. He pointed out that the Registered Land Survey is made
up of Lots 39, 40 and the North half of Lot 41, Auditor's Subdivision Number 325
and Outlot A, Evanswood 2nd Addition and that it is proposed to create two lots
out of all of the property. Planning Commission had recommended approval and
said that the property could be served with sewer and watermain. City Attorney
Erickson responded to questions from the Council by recalling that the ordinance
provides that only one building may be constructed on any one lot. Councilman
Courtney thereupon offered.the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION APPROVING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL
FOR DON BYERLY REGISTERED LAND SURVEY
BE IT RESOLVED that that Registered Land Survey, platted by Don Byerly and pre-
sented at the Council Meeting of the City of Edina on May 19, 1975, generally
located at 5204 Blake Road (Lots 39, 40 and the North half of Lot 41, Auditor's
Subdivision Number 325 and Outlot A, Evanswood 2nd Addition) be and is hereby
granted preliminary approval.

EDINA OFFICE AND PRODUCTION CENTER (7651-97-WASHINGTON AVENUE) DETERMINED
"DANGEROUS" WITHIN.AIrANING OF ORDINANCE NO. 471. .Mr. Erickson recalled that owners
of the Edina Office and Production Center at 76'51 -97 Washington Ave. S., and
Inland Construction Company had agreed to. cooperate in the installation of a
sprinkling system, but had taken no action at this time. Fire Chief Robert Bur -
esh presented slides of the building and explained the various problems and
dangers involved,. particularly because of the existence of unprotected structural
steel in the building. Chief Buresh explained "fire resistance" and pointed out
that the building does not meet the Building Code. He said that he had surveyed
the building and had estimated the cost of installation of a sprinkler system to
be between $51,000 and $55,000, or 5% of the value of the building. Mr. Erickson
pointed out that, even though a Certificate of Compliance had been issued, the
City is still entitled to keep up with current technology in the enforcement of
its ordinances. Councilman Shaw thereupon offered the following resolution and
moved its adoption: RESOLUTION
BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the Cith of Edina finds that the buildings
at 7651 -7697 Washington Ave., legally described as Tract D; and that part of Tract
C lying South of the North 140.4 feet, as measured along the West line thereof; the
North 16.08 feet of Tract E, as measured along the West line thereof; Registered
Land Survey No. -1283, Files of Registrar of Titles, County of Hennepin, -and owned by
Edina Office and Production Center, are dangerous and should be repaired and directs
the City Attorney to prepare Findings of Fact and an Order for approval by the
Council.
Motion for adoption of the resolution was seconded by Councilman Courtney and on
rollcall there were five ayes and no nays and the resolution was adopted.
WATER TREATMENT CHEMICALS BID AWARDED. Mr. Hyde recalled that, with the large
quantity of chemicals used by the City, the delivery system with two dealers
for bids awarded by Hennepin County would have been impractical. He advised that
the price for the only bid received in.-response to Advertisement for Bids in the
Edina Sun and the Construction Bulletin was very good and recommended award of
bids to the only bidder, Van Waters and Rogers (formerly Lyons Chemicals) for the
following:
70,000 lbs. chlorine at $18.92 per 150# cylinder.- $8,820.00
100,000 lbs. hydroflousilicic Acid at 691 . per pound - $69,000.00
Councilman Courtneyts motion was thereupon seconded by Councilwoman Schmidt and
carried, for award of bid to Van Waters and Rogers as recommended by the City
Manager.
REQUEST FOR ORDINANCE 331 AMENDMENT NOTED. Council's attention was called to a
letter from Ms. Elizabeth Selden, 6212 Crest Lane, requesting that Section I of
Ordinance No. 331 be amended by the addition of "... or any cat, or cats, which
consistently stalk with the intent-to maim and kill birds and small animals
indigenous to the natural setting of private property." Councilman Courtney
said that it would be difficult to determine the "intent" of the cat and that
such an amendment would be difficult to enforce. He recalled that, under the
existing ordinance, Ms. Selden could file a complaint about the cat. No action
was taken.
PETITIONS .RECEIVED.- Councilman Courtney's motion was seconded by Counc=ilman Shaw
and carried., accepting the following petitions and referring them to the Engineer-
ing Department for processing:
1. Lanham Lane - Water Main, Sanitary Sewer, Permanent Street Surfacing

nnxu cnnrr PARK -T.AND AND PARK CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS BOND ISSUE ELECTION TO BE HELD.
Mr.,Hyde referred to Recommended Transfers prepared by Mr. Dalen after review oz
various park related funds as instructed by the Council at its meeting of may 5,
5/19/75
1975. Mr. Dalen advised that owners.of some of the.land under consideration for
acquisition by the City had been approached and that they are asking 40% more
than had been expected. In view of this fact, Mr. Dalen recommended that a
referendum for a bond issue of approximately $2.,950,000 be submit.ted.to the.
voters. He added that within the next month or so, the City should have'a good
idea of.just how much the.anticipated land acquisition should cost. Mr. Dalen
reviewed recommended transfers of funds needed to cover the.Park Department
deficits which were set forth in his Statement -of Recommended Transfers. He
said that the General Fund analysis has not been completed for 1974, so he.;
does not have a firm figure regarding the balance in the surplus accounts, but
estimated the amount to be about $100,000. He also recommended that the pro-
posed Art Center should be part.of the bond issue, but added that, if Council
wished to build the Center before the bond issue, Revenue Sharing Funds could
be used for this purpose. Mr. Hyde concurred in Mr. Dalen's recommendations
that the transfers be approved to clear.up outstanding deficits before the bond-
issue. In response to a question from Mayor Van Valkenburg, Councilman Richards
said that it had been his understanding that Council would make the transfers'
for those items that were not included in the deficits and that the net items
would be eliminated from the park recommendations items included in the bond
issue. Mr. Vincent McConville, Jr.,. Chairman of the Open Space Committee,
recommended approval of the transfers. In response to.a question of an uniden-
tified lady in the audience, Mr. Hyde said that the proposal presented at the
Council Meeting of May 2, 1975 for Open Space included property South of Cahill
School, Lincoln Drive property, Garden Park, Krahl Hill and the Moore property
on Melody Lake, for a total of $450,000. He added that park lands proposed to
be acquired would include parts of the Hedberg and Carl Hansen properties,
McCauley Trail property, the Moore property on Mirror Lakes and the Rutledge
house on Rutledge Avenue, for a total of $500,000. Mr. Jack Rice, Chairman of
the Park Board, said that the Board had not had an opportunity to review Mr,
Dalen's recommendations and requested that the matter be continued for its review.
Mr. Rice also recommended that action be taken this year on .the. -offer of-the
Thgrpe family to provide matching funds for the construction of a hockey rink in
Utley Park. Mr. Daleh said that this project could be included in the bond
issue and still be accomplished in the fall. Mr. Dalen suggested that the Utley
Park proposal could be continued until after the next Park Board meeting. Council-
man Courtney's motion approving the transfers at this time died for lack of a
second. Councilwoman Schmidt's motion that the transfer of funds be continued
to the next meeting was then seconded by Councilman Courtney and carried. Council- -
man Courtney then moved that a referendum consisting of three questions on the
acquisition of Open Space, acquisition of Park Lands and Park Development be held
on September 23, 1975. Motion was.seconded by Councilman Shaw and on rollcall
there were five ayes and no nays and the motion carried unanimously. 'Mr. Richard
Seaberg, 6108 Arctic Way, said that proponents of the bond issue are not really
working together and suggested that the Council seriously consider "one package"
for the bond issue because he believed that three separate alternates would
create internal conflict and confusion. Mr. Seaberg also suggested that Council
appoint a "Sell Committee" immediately. Mayor Van Valkenburg then suggested
that Mr.,.Hyde, Mr. Dalen and Mr. Rosland work together with someone from the Park
Board and a member of the Open Space Committee to get the specific facts before the
public. He then thanked the Park Board and the Open Space Committee.for their .
efforts in determining the needs of the City.
FRANCE AVENUE PRELIMINARY PLAN APPROVAL CONTINUED TO JUNE 2, 1975. Mr. Dunn pre-
sented a preliminary plan submitted by Hennepin County for increasing France Ave.
between the Crosstown Highway and W. 70th Street to six lanes of traffic and for
signalization and indication of turning lanes. Mrs. William Scott, 6613 Southdale
Drive, questioned the wisdom of tearing up France Avenue.at the same time that
T:H. 100 was undergoing construction. She also asked about plans for the inter -
section.of France Ave. at Interstate Highway 494. Following some discussion,
Councilwoman Schmidt's motion was seconded by Councilman Courtney and carried
that the matter be continued to June 2, 1975, so that Mr. Dunn could contact the
County for answers of these questions.
HEARING DATES SET FOR VARIOUS IMPROVEMENTS. As recommended by Mr. Dunn, Council-
man Richards offered the following resolution and moved its adoption:
