Dear Jim:
It is with sincere reluctance that I send this letter confirm-
ing my resignation from the Edina Housing and Redevelopment
Authority. My resignation is made necessary by the fact that
I am moving from Edina to accept a new job'with the American
Can Company in Greenwich, Connecticut.
I have certainly enjoyed my year and a half tenure on the H.R.A.
lam. thankful both for the confidence you placed in me by appoint-
ing me to the H.R.A. and for the chance to serve the City of Edina.
I hope my- service was constructive and worthy of the charge of
that office.
Sincerely,
ry B_e,,jt;yall

Sir-s;
Edina is almost'filled to capacity..I think that the assessor'z
office should maintain lower taxes. By forcing people to pay more taxes they
spend less for other things. By forcing small lots the deterioration has
already_ -begun..-What a---shame the new houses crushed _together, bathrooms eye
to eye. Some departments especially the village planning for houses could
-be _.e_liminated._.- 'And_ I believe too your village hall should be thinned out.
`.'You could get along with less people.
The POLICE is a very efficient department... W ork hard and are
alert. I'm sure too the fire department is also efficent. Neither of these
departments sho.ild, be cut..
Maybe the citizens 'are not alert enough. Guess we better keep a
better eye -on what goes on in our government .

Dear Ms. Sch midt,
Please forgive mistakes as I am not a typist but I am an Edina
resident and a business woman. I read in the Star of your meeting
on banning escort service, etc., in Edina. Congratulations! I am
sending this directly to you in the hone you -may be able to read
it at the next meeting. I think the Edine• council should be cogniz-
ant of what is taking place on the "Strip ", a name now commonly
attributed to 494.
Occasionally I visit the local night spots with two other
young women who live in this vicinity. lie are single, discriminating,
but not adverse to meeting other peonle like ourselves who enjoy
dancing and conversation. However of late, perhaps even since
Bloomington's licensing ordinance.we have noticed a tremendous in-
flux of Hennepin Ave. The class of people is changingralmost over-
night, very drastically-and very fast'. Steps should be taken immed-
iately if 494 is not to become the second Hennepin Ave. I mean this -
with all sincerity.
As an examnle, we rather liked the Liw Cantina as the music,
in the oast, was not such hard rock and the crowd more mature. It'
suddenly was overrun with prostitudes and the class of neonle started
to change drastically. The former security guard seemed to have Veen
made manager and was too busy to notice the crowd. One particular
Wed. night, the last time we were ever in there, several colored
men who appeared to be forerunners for the black girls came in first
and shortly thereafter the nrostitudes started coming in. The first
bartender, a short stocl,t7 man with a mustach, in his late th_rti•,c
or forties, pointed cm`. the men to thr_m. 17.cevidently wns fettln7 r*
cut. You.ask how I knew who they,were.. I used to work at he '"oue'
club and they were the same-girls we had to throw out-Just about
every evening.
0
At,-the Nic].let South , another place we used to ccnsider
a reputable place to go,they have a different'type of girl working
the place. You can go in the bar or-sit by the dance floor cnt`.e
first floor•any•nlght after-nine or-ten and watch them o-erate.
This group is more surnrising�. They' range from- fourteen to about
twenty - four -and are country types in-blue jeans and faded wri ^':led
blouses. You -do not believe it at`first until you watch therr. .
They-come-in pairs or singly: Walk through very-rapidly; If they
do not'see a likely prospect they do not even stop but'if they
spot what they are-looking for-they move in-fast'ard leave before
you,even know what is going--on. This, we find, is the new breed.
We•consider ourselves rice girls. We are not'going back to an'Y
place on the '"Strip" until it is cleaned un. This includes all
of them- The-Registry, Webster's, etc. The Teft' %yard has
been full of prostitudes. Since eighteen became the legal are all
of this has doubled.
t So if you do not want thispart of tcun to become
another Hennepin-Aire. I suggest''all of you act NOW. Crce t!e7
have brought them in from all over the country-and they have ts':en
over it "will be impossible to get them out.
Sincerely,
Susan Eddleson Nan Keller Marylyn La Bissoniere
Why..is it City Nanagers always seem -so interested in
getting licensed Drostitution (saVna parlors) into the area?
If they do come in one method of discouraging :ahem is to

MEMORANDUM
TO: Fire Chief Robert Buresh
FROM: Assistant Chief William Feck
SUBJECT: Traffic on France Avenue for Emergency Vehicles
During the past week I have had the opportunity to talk with a
majority of the members of the Fire Department concerning the
traffic problem on France Avenue from Crosstown south to Highway
494.
It is the general consensus of the group that between the hours of
approximately 1600 to 1800 hours, the traffic is so congested that
the members will do just about anything to select an alternate
route. The fact that there is no rhyme nor reason as to the coor-
dination of all the stop lights, only adds to the congestion problem.
A solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated by this
department.

Glenn Smith, 5614 Sherwood Avenue
Lois Coons, Edina Citizens Safety Council
Requests on which the Committee recommends approval as requested or modified, and
the Council's authorization of recommended action.
1. Split Recommendation:
(A) NO PARKING ANY TIME restriction on the east side of Sherwood
Avenue; NO PARKING 8 AM - 4 PM SCHOOL_ DAYS on the west side
of the street.
(B) NO PARKING ANY TIME restriction on the east side,of Dalrymple

(C) NO PARKING ANY TIME restriction on the east side of St. Andrew's
Avenue; NO PARKING 8 AM - 4 PM SCHOOL DAYS on the west side of
the street.
Proposal by Traffic Safety Committee to restrict parking on the east
side of Sherwood Avenue, Dalrymple Road, and St. Andrew's Avenue.
This proposal is based on fire and public safety emergency access to
above -named streets. The City Council has returned this proposal for
reconsideration.
ACTION TAKEN:
After considerable discussion on the reasoning of the proposed
restriction and the effect of the restrictions on the residents,
the streets will be treated individually. However, the following
individual recommendations are based on the Committee's belief
that a lane be kept open for fire and emergency vehicles which is
not always possible due to snow accumulation and cars parked on
both sides. Mr. Glenn Smith, 5614 Sherwood Avenue, expressed an
opinion that all residents on Sherwood were very much in favor
of original proposal.

Requests on which the Committee recommends denial of the request.
1. Mr. A. Montgomery, 6628 Parkwood Road, requests a STOP sign or YIELD

control as Biscayne Boulevard drivers are not heeding rules of road
at uncontrolled intersection.
Accidents:. 0 -1974, 1975

Captain Merfeld moved that the Committee recommend denial of the
request as warrants for control are not met; and traffic volumes
are very low, allowing for normal rules of road operation.
Mr. West seconded the motion. Motion passed.
2. Mrs. Porter, 5528 Code Avenue, requests STOP signs for Code Avenue at
West 56th Street, making it a 4 -way STOP intersection. She cites need

sign on Interlachen Boulevard for westbound traffic coming around curve
from Vernon Avenue. She cites pedestrians have a hard time crossing

signs for Townes Road between West 48th Street and West 49th Street.
She has a small son who has a hearing loss and occasionally he gets in

of generating a false sense of security. Captain Merfeld
seconded the motion. Motion passed.
SECTION C
Requests which are deferred to a later date or referred to others.
1. Mr. James Maetzold, 4921 Ridge Road, asked that the City investigate the
parking on Interlachen Boulevard between Blake Road and Ridge Road. He
complains about parking on both sides of Interlachen just east of Schaefer
during summer months because of a swimming pool at one of the homes in
that area. tie said that parking on one side is bad enough, but that
occasionally 'they park on both sides of the street and then it is a
traffic hazard. Many bicycle riders use this route according to the
complainant.

the zone officer can complete a study on parking problems on that
street. Mr. West seconded the motion. Motion passed.

further investigation. Attached is a memo from G. Hite on crossing
problem.

library crossing and signalization, Mr. Dunn moved that the
Committee defer action until a study of alternate crossings is
completed. Mr. West seconded the motion. Motion passed.
4. Mrs. Richard Sheehan, 4308 Philbrook Lane, requests investigation of
crosswalk and signing for off -ramp of Crosstown #62 at Valley View Road.

changing the present arrangement until further study can be
completed by zone officers and others. Mr. West seconded the
motion. Motion passed.

memo to: November 4 File
Re: Library Pedestrian crossing
Warren Hyde has most of the background information relating to the
pedestrian crossing on `Nest 50th Street in front of the new Edina
Public Library. Attached to this memo are the pedestrian counts
taken over the last two weeks of September between the hours of
3:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. These counts will be needed in the process
of evaluating the type of permanent pedestrian crossing protection
to be provided. It seems obvious from these counts that we would
be unable to satisfy the warrants for signalized pedestrian
crossings as established in the Uniform Sign Manual for the State
of ..innesota. Nevertheless, some protection will be necessary .
and we - cannat - continue indefinitely with the use of patrolmen as
this is costing about $10.00 per day.
We have suggested to the Council that final consideration of the
permanent protective device should await the completion of the
plans for the West 50th Street and T.H. #100 interchange which
plans will include a signalized intersection just west of the
Village Mall. It would seem that it would be possible.'to extend
this signalization down to the Library crossing at considerably
less cost than it would be to install a separate system at this
time.
In addition to the need for protection of pedestrians in front of
the Librart7, the increasing traffic on tlest 50th Street would
suggest that there rzay also be a need to provide an opportunity
for vehicles to enter the West 50th Street flow from the driveway
opening located in front of the Library. Whatever device might
be installed to assist pedestrian crossings right be so designed
to serve the dual purpose of permitting this vehicle access.:"

3'IIe.Ticen proposal for redistricting apparently has met near - unanimous
"Opposition from suburban elected officials. We have not heard from
A nneapolis officially. Redistricting appears to be city - suburban
ao aeti -ion.
_cutrently, Minneapolis population is 45.25$(1970 census) of the county
'total(42.56% - 1974 Metropolitan Council estimate). Minneapolis has
37.83% of the assessed valuation and approximately 41.180 of the
-taxable income of the county.
vt ile the suburbs have testified in behalf of three county board
seats for the City of Minneapolis, a not unreasonable ratio of 42.850,
and since board members are comratted to the 'one man, one vote" concept,
avoiding partisan political considerations, I propose -a compromise
between the Ticen and Robb proposals offered thus far.
This compromise proposal I label Rabb Proposal C. Briefly, it seeks
to preserve most of the configurations of present districts, it
provides two districts wholly within Minneapolis, two wholly within the
county but outside the city, and three "combination" districts, two of
which are predominately suburban and one of which is predominately city.
Each of these districts has less than 1.753 deviation frcm the population
and the average deviation is .593.
The Robb Proposal C is offered in the spirit of fairness, unity, and
harmony throughout-all of Hennepin County, not just in the City of
Minneapolis. I await your response.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Fire Chief Robert Buresh
FROM: Assistant Chief William Feck
SUBJECT: Traffic on France Avenue for Emergency Vehicles
During the past week I have had the opportunity to talk with a
majority of the members of the Fire Department concerning the
traffic problem on France Avenue from Crosstown south to Highway
494.
It is the general consensus of the group that between the hours of
approximately 1600 to 1800 hours, the traffic is so congested that
the members will do just about anything to select an alternate
route. The fact that there is no rhyme nor reason as to the coor-
dination of all the stop lights, only adds to the congestion problem.
A solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated by this
department.

during the meeting.
CHAIR REPORT
The Chair attended the Edina Chamber of Commerce luncheon meeting where Edina
City management spoke. The Chair will.contact Bob Sykes, President of the
Chamber of Commerce to see if the Chamber will sponsor a Human Relations
Commission created "Affirmative Action Seminar" for Edina businesses and
business men.
The Chair made a statement to the Edina School Board at the May 12, 1975
meeting regarding sexism and the need for a strong Affirmative Action
policy.
The Chair met with Tom Oye and Gene Sylvestre. Tom will be chairperson of
the Human Relations Commission Bicentennial activity. Tom is to be liaison
with Ray Bechtle, Director of Educational Development and Resources for
Edina Schools, and will recommend in 120 days what activities the Human
Relations Commission can support or create for the Bicentennial.
The Chair and Charles Clay met with Mayor VanValkenburg for lunch. The
Mayor was concerned about attendance, recommendations for replacements
to the Commission, better communications and review of consultant's role.
The Mayor is supportive of our activities and neither he nor the Council
want to censor or stifle appropriate Human Relations Commission activities.
Page - 2
CHAIR REPORT con't.
Each Commission member is to give the Chair one recommendation for
membership so the Chair can recommend same to the Mayor.
Gene Sylvestre is to have analysis and justification of consultant's
function to the Chair by June 10, 1975.
All of -the Commission- members - must - adhere - -to- our - meeting - attendance
responsibilities. Violation of the ordinance (missing /+ meetings a year
or 3 in a row will result in dismissal.
TREASURER'S REPORT
The Chair called on Tom Oye for the treasurer's report. Mr. Oye postponed
reporting until the city's computer is up to date. Mr. Oye will continue
to keep a manual balance and also has permission to pay "small" bills.
The meeting was then turned over to our guest, Mancel Mitchell. He gave a
very enlightening account of police work; what a policeman can do and canno'
do, the sad but true fact that police - community relations are defensive and
that, despite what we "learn" from TV, 900 of their time is spent in human
services and 10% in "Cops and robbers ". There is much vandalism in Edina
and adult alcoholics and associated problems are on the increase. Bicycle
thefts, burglaries and shoplifting are other problems. Mr. Mitchell
recommends increasing nonenforcement police contacts with the community.
He would like to see a police officer sit in on the Commission meetings.
The emphasis, he said, in our police work should be in crime prevention.
A motion was made by Meredith Hart, seconded by Mimi Gleekel and passed
unanimously that we ask that a representative of the Police Department fill
one of the vacancies on the Commission.
The meeting was resumed.
COMPLAINTS
Gene Sylvestre reported that the young girl fired because of dress had called
Legal Aid and also the State Human Relations Commission.- Neither organiza-
tion has jurisdiction over her complaint.' She checked further with the
Department of Labor and was told she had no claim. Gene plans to meet with
her again.
PUBLICITY
The Chair has discussed publicity with Mary Anderson and an article will
appear soon in the SUN. The 3rd Newsletter will be published in late Augus-
or September.

COMMUNITY FORUMS
Mimi Gleekel is trying to set up a meeting to discuss the last Community
Forum meeting with Fairview - Southdale Hospital. No Forums are being plann-
for the summer.
CITY COUNCIL AND SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS ATTENDANCE
Charles Clay brought up the lack of citizen attendance at School Board and
City Council meetings. A list was passed around for each Commission membe.
to sign up for attending one or two meetings to begin in the near future.
Each member will be responsible for getting a substitute when unable to_
attend.
NEW BUSINESS
Meredith Hart reported that the steering committee of the Family Life Workshc
had received a request from the Bicentennial Committee to make the next
Family Workshop a Bicentennial event. The steering committee is in favor
of the idea and voted to ask for our endorsement.
A motion was made by Meredith Hart, seconded by Vicki Dale and passed
unanimously that the Commission support the idea that People Making become
a Bicentennial affair.
Meredith Hart reported that a group of citizens is forming a committee to
increase citizen participation in deciding how revenue sharing funds are
to be spent in Hennepin County. The Human Rights Commissions throughout
Hennepin County have been asked to send representatives to the meetings.
Tom Melena reported that on September 24, 1975 there will be a referendum
on issuing bonds for the purchase of open space land and money for park
construction. The City Council may ask the Human Relations Commission to
become involved and/or take a position on the merits of capital funding fo=
Edina parks.
Tom Melena asked if the Human Relations Commission could help the City surve-
community services so that duplication of services can be avoided. Joel
Jennings will contact Councilwoman, June Schmidt and Ken Rosland to find
out more about the request.
A motion was made by The Chair that the meeting be adjourned at 10:00 p.m.
and was passed unanimously.

Joel Jennings, Chairman
Edina Human Relations Commission
7332 West Shore.Drive T f
Edina, Minnesota 55435
Mr. Jennings:
As a confederation of municipal human rights groups,.the League of Minnesota Human
Rights Commissions seeks to,honor those member commissions which have demonstrated an
exemplary, determined and substantive commitment, to ensure equal opportunity for the
residents of the communities they serve.
In that regard the League, following an intensive review of the activities of human
rights commissions throughout Minnesota, extends its congratulations to the Edina
Human Relations Commission as the recipient of the Fourth Annual Human Rights Award.
The depth and breath of the Edina Commission's programs and activities has served as
a model to developing rights commissions. Commission interests and projects the
League found of merit are cited below:
1) Unique and informative Family Life Workshops, the second of which was held
,in the_Fall of 1974. Participation of community members in the development .
of the program as well as the variety of topics discussed speaks well for the
Commission's effort to broaden its services.
2) Human relations training for members of the Edina Police Department- was initiated
and conducted by the Commission.
3) Development and implementation of an Affirmative Action Plan for the local school..
district allows one.of the largest public employers in the area to set an example
reaffirming equal opportunity as a standard.
4) - Publication and distribution of a commission newsletter tb interested individuals,
clubs and community organizations highlights an open process which generates
awareness.
It is incumbent on the League to recognize that the Commission's impact would not have,
been as great without the support of the Edina City Council. The League commends the
City Council for its continued commitment to assist the Commission in meeting Edina's
human rights goals. Again, the League expresses its appreciation to -the Edina human
Relations Commission for the leadership role it has played on a local and state - wide.level
Your truly
avid Co/ an President

Depar tnient.
Thc s t r e e t accounted
for 31 percent of the city's
accidents.
France Av. accidents last
year occurred between file

account for the increase.
Hwy. 100 ranked second
with 168, or about 19 per-
cent, or the 889 accidents
reported.
Tea years ago, H«y,
100 accidents 'accounted
for about 50 percent of the
total number, according to
Wayne Bennett, Edina po-

The number of lict•v.
100 accidents hasn't dc-
creased during the list IO
years, according to Bert
Merfeld, captain of the un-

However, development
along France Av. has led
to more accidents on that

Lindgren, 37, a former Brooklyn Center policeman,
said yesterday he probably will run for a second four -
year term but hasn't made a final decision.
However, Daniel K. Peterson, chairman of the Henne-
pin -Anoka Counties Republican Party, said Lindgren
already has indicated he will rust.
Lindgren, who defeated ,firs. I. G. Scot 3?'. year's ago,
is allied with Commissioner E. F. (Bud) Robb Jr., Deep -
haven Republican, against the board's "workable ma-

mentioned as a possible Republican challenger to Ticen
;ion, which he expects to announce in the 2nd District.
Most of the 273 acci-
dents involved drivers
either failing to yield the
right -of -way when making
left turns at intersections
or rear - ending v e h i c l e s
(111-11stg peak traffic peri-
ods, he said.
The most dangerous in-
tersection along F r an c e
Av. was at 66th St„ al-
though recently installed
improved signals are ex-
pected to help, Merfeld
said.
County Traffic Engineer
Samuel Fisher said that
plans for interconnecting
the France Av, traffic sig-
nals betweet: the 62nd St.
Crosstown and 1 -494 wiii
be carried out by the erd
of 1974. This is expected
to i m p r o v e the traffic
flow, he said.
During 1975, France Av.
will be widened from two
to three lanes in each
direction between the
crosstown and 70th . St.,
and adjustments in the
l e f t -t u r n lanes will be
made, Fisher said.
The greatest number of
accidents along Hww. 100
formerly occurred at the
50th St. intersection, Mer-
feld said. However, the
overpass at that intersec-
tion has helped there, lie
said.
