It is understood that Hennepin.County will assume the cost of constructing the proposed street extension if it is included with the construction plans for the traffic interchange. House No. Street r: IV Edina City Council I would like to make some comments and observations on the proposed interchange at Highway 18 and the'sug- gestions to cul de sac Valley View either at McCulley Trail or Braemar ends of that.street.r One suggestion is to cul de sac Valley View near Braemar park. I think this would be very unwise for the following reasons. 1. With a cul de sac already in the area this plan would create a double cul de sac *hick would mean 23 houses would have access from only one dirrection. 2. Emergency vehicle entrance to the area would also be limited to access from just one dirrection and if the road should be blocked at Valley View and Sally Lane they would not be able to get in at all. 3. It would cut off access to sbhools and churches for many of those in the -foot hills area. 4.A cul de sac placed here would limit access to Braemar. As I understand the interchange plan as it stands now the road over the bridge would be d,ut off at McCulley Trail and would not extend to the east. Access then would be only to the north on McCulley or south into the arena area of Braemar park. If my underdtanding is correct the only way to get to the golf course would'be to cut through the parking lots around the arena. 5. This would also cut off access to Highway 18 for many people east of the cul de sac and this would force more traffic on parts of Valley View and Gleason Road. . Another suggestion is to cul de sac Valley View at McCulley Trail. This I think would be unwise for the following reasons, 1. It would only extend the traffic going to the Highway 18 access down Sally Lane. I think a better distribution of traffic is what is needed not making it more difficult for .people to get in and out of our area. 2. It would also make it more difficult for emergency vehicles to get in or out. It has also. been suggested that a cul de sac be put at both ends of Valley View. This would be very unwise because of all the reasons stated above. The main reason for these cul de sac suggestions is to cut down the traffic on Valley View between Braemar and Highway 18 because of the small children that live in the area. In my opinion the most sensible solution to the whole problem is to have no cul de sacs and extend the road from the bridge and connect it to the east with Valley View and the road around Braemar. This would eliminate most of the traffic in front of the homes on Valley View between Braemar and McCulley making only very local traffic on,this street. These are other reasons why I think this would be a better solution to our problem. 1. It would give residents to the east a easier access to and from Highway 18. 2, It would give the residents of the foot hills area a better access to schools, churches and to all areas of Braemar park. In extending the road from the bridge I would suggest that all care be taken to preserve the trees and natural scenery in the areal Mrs. C. Burkstrand August 2, 1974 The Honorable Mayor and Councilmen City of Edina 4801 Wiest 50th Street Edina, Minnesota 55424 Re; C.S.A.H. 18 and Valley View Interchange Gentlemen$ We favor the construction of a new street between Valley View at the hairpin turn and the County Road 18 Interchange and the elimination of the proposed Cizl de Sacs. This provides for quick access fox emergency vehicles, con- venient access to the highway system, and possible traffic reduction in the residential area reducing the chances of pedestrian injuries.

Countryside school is on the nest side of Tracy and we feel that the sidewalk should be on the school property for greater benefit to the school children. Under the proposed, plai; children living on the Nest side of Tracy Ave. will have to cross Tracy Ave. 2 times in order to make use of the sidewalk. While children living on the East side will have to cross Tracy Ave. only once regardless of which side the sidewalk is placed. Result is the same exposure to traffic for East side children, but double exposure to traffic for west side children who would have none If the sidewalk was placed on the west side of Tracy. The same would apply for children going to Countryside Fark. We have noted that the other Edina Schools have the sidewalk on the school property and see no reason why Countryside should be an exception. It was our belief when we purchasad our home that if a sidewalk was provided it would be placed on the school pro�?e.rty. ail Wtlas u0 o u - - 5- • - - - - -- -. -- -- ._.._.. - Y 6117 Tracy Ave. S.

OLSEN Assistant General Manager July 26, 1974 Mr. Warren C. Hyde City Manager City of Edina 4801 West 50th Street Edina, Minnesota 55424 Dear Warren: On July 15, 1974 the St. Louis Park Crosstown Route #36 was extended to Southdale Shopping Center via Wooddale Avenue. You will recall that at the Commission meeting where our request to extend Route 36 was considered, you mentioned to myself and Willard Little that we could anticipate some reaction from residents.along Wooddale Avenue between 44th and 50th Streets due to the narrowness of Wooddale Avenue and due to a the type of residences. On Tuesday, July 16, the Transit Operating Division began receiving calls from persons living on Wooddale Avenue between 44th and 50th Streets. To date a total of 17 calls have been received objecting to-our running on Wooddale between 44th and 50th Streets. In addition we are advised that a petition is being circulated objecting to service in the aforementioned area and that petition, when completed, will be forwarded to the City of Edina, the Metropolitan Transit Commission and the Transit Operating Division (MTC).. Last week, after becoming aware of the situation, I talked to your Public Works Director, Robert C..Dunn, advising him of the situation and indicated the Transit Operating Division's willingness to (1) assign small (QT type) buses to this route, or (2) develop an alternative routing for Route 36. I went on to explain to Mr. Dunn that this route required four (4) buses and that though we currently have four (4) small buses available, should one of the small buses break down, be in an accident, or require service, there would be no way we could guarantee another small bus and in all likelihood the replacement would be a large bus. Mr. Dunn indicated that he doubted that assignment of a small bus would satisfy the objections of those complaining. . Mr. Dunn and I agreed that we should examine alternatives prior to your return to town and be prepared to make an alternative recommendation for the rerouting of Route 36. Mr. Warren C. Hyde City Manager City of Edina 2 July 26, 1974 In this regard Mr. Fred Heywood of the Transit Operating Division staff and Mr. Francis Hoffman your Assistant City Engineer for Traffic and Transportation had a meeting in the area and agreed that as an alternative the rerouting as shown on Exhibit A would be.acceptible to both the Transit Operating Division and Mr. Hoffman. Due to Transit Operating Division contract constraints the earliest possible time that such a rerouting could be made would be August 19,1974. At this point the Transit Operating Division has taken no action pending your return, but will be willing to make any reasonable adjustment that is in the best interests of the City of Edina, the residents of the area, the passengers using this route and the Metropolitan Transit Commission. After your return please feel free to call me at your convenience in order that we may discuss this matter further. Should I be unavailable, please feel free to discuss the situation with Mr. Fred Heywood of our Research Department who can be reached at 827 -4071, extension 243. Si cerely, s B.

L r, Y wo:v J, • C�r August 5,1974 City Council Minnesota Gentlemen: I feel it my duty as a Realtor to express my feelings and real estate knowledge in respect to the bus line on Wooddale Avenue. The value of the homes in the Country Club area would definitely decrease and most certainly on Wooddale. The fact that we now have buses on West 50th and 44th there most definitely is no need for a bus line on Wooddale. It would seem that the most practical and advantageous solution would be to increase the number of times that the bus is scheduled to run on 50th and 44th. The greatest distance anyone need to walk is 2' /z blocks to either bus line. Those streets are not the typical residential streets and most definitely can handle increased traffic. The congestion on Wooddale Avenue at the school crossing is tremendous now, I can just imagine what will happen when school starts if this bus line is allowed to continue. I do believe as a concerned Realtor and homeowner that this is one of the most impractical and wasteful situations I have encountered. There are too many other areas that really need a_ bus-line--if-the Council would just investigate this matter further. Most sincerely, Vv Donna Pumilia, Realtor 1 Mrs. Helen Dean Deputy City Clerk 4801 West 50th Street Edina, Minnesota 55424 Dear Mrs. Dean: As per a conversation with Mr. Hoffman, that the residents of the 4500 and 4600 Avenue request they be placed on the ag, City Council meeting scheduled for 7 :00 1974, to discuss the M.T.C. bus service 1974. -VT/- i - (� - please be advised blocks of Wooddale anda of the next p.m., August 5, initiated July 15, You will find enclosed a copy of a portion of our Petition which is being circulated in the Country Club.

SELTi City of Edina 4801 West 50th Street Edina, Minnesota Attention: City Clerk Re: Delaney Boulevard Gentlemen: (612) 338.0431 July 19, .1974 VII C2 SUBURBAN OFFICES, RICHFIELD Enclosed is Petition for Improvements signed by Eleanor A. Grossman and Mary A. Smisek with regard to the above street. I would appreciate it if this petition would be processed and brought to the attention of the counsel for action. Our clients, Mrs. Grossman and Mrs. Smisek, are suffering a severe and extreme hardship by reason of the fact that until Delaney Boulevard is improved, they are completely land locked and have to cross private property to get to the nearest public road. Also, the City Attorney has indicated that snow plowing and other municipal services, except emergency services, will not be provided to them since it would involve the crossing of private property. While the problem which now exists may have been partially created by the actions of the buyers and sellers of the property at the time it was platted, it is difficult, if not impossible, to conclude that the City was also responsible, since the City approved the plat, and we understand the City also granted a permit for the moving of the house. Our clients inform us that City officials were present or consulted before and during the platting of the subdivision and moving of the house, and frequent inspections were made by City officials at the time. Under the circumstances, we believe the City has an obligation to our clients to help alleviate the problem, and we hope appropriate action can be taken so that litigation may be avoided. We will appreciate hearing from you. AIF /rjs F;ric. Ver truly ours,,' Arnold i . Feinberg /+ PETITION FOR IMPROVEMENT To: The City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota: The undersigned, being owners of adjacent property, hereby petition for the improvement of Delaney Boulevard between West 78th Street and Dewey Hill Road, Edina, Minnesota, by the, installation and completion of pavement thereon. This petition is made pursuant to Chapter 429.of Minnesota Statutes. Eleanor A. Grossman Mary A: Smisek Members present Staff present: Others present: MINUTES TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE SPECIAL Z,METiiv'G JULY 18, 1974 Wayne Bennett Bert Merfeld Adam Batko Robert Dunn. Greg Luce. Gary West Fran Hoffman Fire Chief McNellis Tom Melena VIII —C SIGir'ALIZATION REQUEST 1. Hennepin County requests reconsideration for signals at West 56th Street and Xerxes, and West 60th Street and Xerxes, with interconnect to the #62 Crosstown signals. Request that this system be considered under the Systems Warrant, Warrant 7. This warrant states that a traffic signal installation at some intersections may be warranted to encourage concentration and organization of traffic flow networks. The Systems Warrant is applicable when the common intersection of two.or more major routes has a total existing, or immediately projected, entering volume of at least 800 vehicles during the peak hour of a typical weekday, or each of any five hours of a Saturday and /or Sunday. A major route as used in the above warrant has one or more of the following characteristics: 1. It is part of the street or highway system that serves as the principal network for through traffic flow; 2 It connects areas of principal traffic generation; 3. It includes rural or suburban highways outside of, entering or traversing a city; 4. It has surface street freeway or expressway ramp terminals; 5. It appears as a major route on an official plan such as.a major street plan in an urban area traffic and transportation study. VIII —C Traffic Safety Committee Minutes Page 2 Special Meeting July 18, 1974 SIGNALIZATION REQUEST (cont'd) Staff Reoort: Mr. Hoffman stated that, in light of the above warrant, traffic counts were taken during peak hours on Friday evening, June 14, and Monday morning and evening, June 17. During these peak hours, the traffic volume did exceed 800 vehicles per hour and, thus, did meet the volume requirement of the warrant. Traffic counts were also taken during off -peak hours, with pedestrians crossing Xerxes at West 56th Street being a major concern-. The number of pedestrians crossing at West 56th and Xerxes during a ten - hour period was 306. But, during peak traffic hours, the pedestrian count was very low, with the majority of the pedestrians crossing during off -peak hours. Thus, there was no noticeable difficulty in crossing Xerxes at West 56th Street. The major question then becomes, "Are the West 56th Street - Xerxes intersection and the !lest 60th Street - Xerxes intersection the common intersections of two or more major routes as stated in Warrant 7 ? ". In Mr. Hoffman's opinion, ?lest 60th - Xerxes intersection could possibly be considered as a common inter- section of two major routes, but a person will be hard pressed to consider [lest 56th- Xerxes as a common intersection of two major routes. In conclusion, based on the volumes and the criteria of the warrant, the intent of the warrant is not fulfilled in this instance. ACTION TA:<—FN : After considerable discussion on the report and the criteria of the warrant, Chief Bennett moved that the request for Xerxes traffic signals system be denied for lack of warrants. Mr. Dunn seconded the motion. Additional con- siderations in the motion for denial include: 1. Fire Chief McNellis, resident on 56th and Beard, stated he has never had a problem at 60th- Xerxes and that a 4 -way STOP at 56th- Xerxes would solve that problem if one exists. 2. Edina has a greater traffic problem at 492 Street - France and 51st St.- France intersections.. 3. Exoenditure for signals not warranted when a STOP sign would serve the nurnose. 4. Concern that West 56th Street would Pose its local street status and become a collector street. 5. Opposition from residents at 60th - Xerxes to a signalized intersection. Motion carried unanimously. VIII —C Traffic Safety Committee Minutes Page 3 Special Meeting July 18, 1974 MISCELLANEOUS REQUESTS 1. City Council requests study of cul -de -sac matter at #18 and Valley View Road by the Traffic Safety Committee, Fire Department, Police Department, and school officials. a ACTION TAKEN: The following opinions were rendered from the school busing officials, Fire Department, and Police Department: 1. Mr. Hoffman presented Mr. Len Dvorak's (school bus scheduler) viewpoint that they favored the cul -de -sac at McCauley Trail if a cul -de -sac were installed, although their function was not as critical as the Fire or Police Department and could alter routes as needed. 2. Fire Chief McNellis stated that the Fire Department would be much opposed to a cul -de -sac on Valley View at McCauley Trail for the following reasons: a. Normally use Crosstown #62 and C.R. #18 to that area (faster than Valley View Road). b. Would result in delay to emergency that could be costly in terms of life and property. In addition, the Fire Department would be opposed to any cul -de -sac as it could cause costly delay to that area; but, if one is necessary, the cul -de -sac at Valley View hairpin is more desirable of the two choices. 3. Chief Bennett and Captain Merfeld of the Police Department stated that the severity of their calls is not as great as the Fire Department, but any cul -de -sac is detrimental to providing quick response to the area if they are on the opposite side of the cul -de -sac on Valley View Road. If a cul -de -sac is necessary, it should be placed at the Valley View hairpin. Chief Bennett stated, from the Fire and Police Department view .point, no cul -de -sac is preferable. The emergency services would be inhibited by cul -de -sacs, and the citizens in the Indian Foothills should be aware that .response time to their area or to another area could be delayed and become critical; i.e., fire, severe bleeding. Mr. Luce moved that, if a cul -de -sac is to be placed, the City Council re- affirm its action on the approval of the partial access plan with the cul -de -sac on the west side of the Valley View hairpin. Mr. West seconded the :notion. Motion carried unanimously. Traffic Safety Committee Minutes Special Meeting July 18, 1974 VIII —C Page 4 MISCELLANEOUS REQUESTS (cont'd) 2. Request by Mr. Luce for consideration of Margaret's Lane extension as a traffic safety problem, if not improved. ACTION TAKEN: In the interest of emergency access and safety of pedestrians if vehicles (garbage trucks) have to back up in narrow drive as no turn- around exists, Mr. Dunn moved that the Committee recommend that, in the McCauley 5th. Addition, public street access to all lots be provided for reasons of emergency access and traffic safety. Capt. Merfeld seconded the motion. Motion passed. 3. Committee discussion on the narratives for the interrogatories of KMSP -TV median cut suit against the City of Edina. ACTION TAKEN: Chief Bennett moved that the names of the Traffic Safety Committee and the City Council be provided as requested. i•Mr. Luce seconded the motion. :Motion passed. Mr. Luce moved that Mr. Hoffman capsulize the many reasons for median cut denial and to present to each member the reasons for denial for.review and perhaps subsequent approval by_Committee as a whole. Mr. Dunn seconded the motion. Motion passed. Respectfully submitted, Fran Hoffman, Secretary VIII- F STATE OF MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH 717 DELAWARE STREET S. E.

No one was injured. Nine firefighters from the Edina Fire Depart- ment answered the fire call at 9:15 a.m. Edina Po- lice and rescue squad were also at the scene. Smoke was removed from the basement by the firefighters. "There's a lot of smoke down there," said Fire' Chief James McNellis, "The motor shorted out, it's -just natural. They last only so long before they short out." Subcommittees began t ud s Y assignments one year.ago. (See related stories page one.) Four subcommittees were appointed by the Edina School Board June 11, 1973 to study - athletic facilities at -Edina East and Edina West, capabilities at Brae- mar Park and land availability in the total city. The Edina East sub- committee, chaired by Chuck Higgins, concluded that Edina East facilities were past the stress point under present conditions, field conditions were worsened and programs inhibited and weakened by overlapping and heavy usage of facili- ties. They also concluded that use of surrounding city properties was in doubt due to current energy and transportation factors. Factors which would influence the Edina East site in the future, according to the committee, were possible construction of connecting link between East's upper and lower divisions and highway construction to the west. The committee rec- ommended that the stadium be relocated to a differ- ent site and artificial turf not be installed on any com- petitive surfaces on the East campus but be installed somewhere on the campus to provide for junior and senior high physical education and intramural. activi- ties. The west campus subcommittee, chaired by Bob Reid, concluded- that all areas within the West Cam- pus have been totally developed; acquisition of nearby land is questionable because of a land availability and costs; demand for physical areas for intramural foot- ball, soccer, flag football and field hockey will be in- creasing. They recommended that an all weather sur -. face be constructed in the indoor field house immedi- ately because current conditions were unhealthy and damaging, a site should be developed for varsity games only and that a separate area be developed for a track and field site. The sub- committee also made a number of recommendations dealing with specific programs and aspects of Edina West's athletic pro- gram. The sub - committee on land availability, .chaired by James Nelson, identified eight sites large enough to accommodate .a major outdoor athletic field for joint use of the school system and village recreation department. They considered: Braemar Park; south- east Edina at 76th Street and York Avenue, northwest corner of Tracy Avenue and Highway 62, Cahill Road at Dewey Hill; south of Dewey Hill and east of Braemar Park; County Road 18, north of Crosstown Highway; northwest Edina at Hansen Road and Whiteman at- Mirror Lakes. The land was judged ac -. cording to acquisition price, compatibility with. sur - rounding.land use and zoning, highest and best use of property, cost of site preparation, physical character - istics of the site, access to the site, traffic impact on the area and identification of the area site. Braemar Park site was judged the best site by the committee." In the sub- committee's opinion the major complex could possibly include a running track, football field, soccer field, football stadium and soccer and /or run - ning track. The sub - committee to study a Braemar stadium, chaired by Fred Richards, recommended that "if the . only existing football stadium in the commuyity must be eliminated the Braemar site is without a doubt the most logical spot for a community stadium. The development of the complex would cost ap- proximately %780 000 according to the committee and would include, a football- soccer field with a playing surface of mixed hybrid grasses, a sand -soil growing medium and a root zone irrigation system; a stadium seating structure of 4500 seats on the home side and 2500 seats on the visitor side; lighting, team facilities such as a locker,- shower and toilet facilities for a full team; spectator facilities, security fence, equipment and storage space. At present Braemar, acquired in 1957 through general obligation bond funds, includes golf courses, general recreational areas, arena, complete set of four class A ball fields, football- soccer field and in- door- outdoor pistol and small bore rifle ranges. The committee called Braemar the "identifiable site for major competitive sports in the city" with better access and parking facilities than any other location outside of Southdale. . The comprehensive plan for Braemar, according to the committee, anticipated the construction of a city -wide football,- soccer .stadium which could ac- commodate up to 10,000 spectators. Two arrested at Southdale An adult male and a juvenile male were arrested May for committing an unnatural act in the men's room of the J. C. Penney Company at Southdale, ac- cording to police reports. As the two males and an Edina police officer left the restroom, the juvenile bolted and attempted to run away. He was pursued and caught by the police offi- cer. The juvenile's parents were contacted and he was referred to juvenile court. o¢¢¢n¢nofloaccaceo' a -- -o_.______noe �Qa�4urs °_; Jane-�; °19- 74-= aa � �U�°= °P�g^ e ° -�� ,2 r, There are two in the sou We're the o W, room Of course, there are lots of other services we have that the other an eight-.lane Auto Bank that opens at 7 AM Monday through Fri bank service center that can handle 98% of your banking needs i ing Instant Cash transactions.

NORTHWESTERN BANK SO An Affiliate of Northwest More than, J'ust a pl&ce to t pu x$780,000 Edina- footballmsoccer stadium proposed' A. proposal for a $780,000 football -soc- cer complex in ldina's Braemar Park was discussed yesterday at a joint meeting of the Edina School Board and City Council. Unanswered financial and legal ques- tions on the complex, intended to im- prove outdoor athletic facilities a school district report describes as "past the stress point," led the two groups to delay approval of the plans. A Braemer facility in southwestern Ed- ina, if built, also would be used by the city's recreation department. But John S. Hoyt Jr., school board chairman, said that a short -term so- lution to-the facilities problem may be more feasible, in light of a recent t, referendum in which voters rebuffed the district's request for a property - tax increase. The Braemar plans were drawn up by one of four committees formed in June 1973 to evaluate present facilities and recommend how to improve them. The $780,000 proposal calls for a foot- ball- soccer field "of interscholastic size and standards," and a stadium with up to 4,500. seats on the home side and 2,500 seats on the visitor side. The proposal includes team and specta- for facilities, a security fence, lighting equipment and storage space and some site improvements. Howard Merriman, the district's athletic director, said the present problems stem from the fact that two Edina high schools, East and West, now share some facilities. "All field conditions (competition and practice) are 'at best in generally very poor conditions due to overlapping and heavy usage," a committee report on Edi- na East says. Football and soccer teams suffer the most, a school official said. School board and Council members yesterday posed — but didn't get answers to — questions on financing the Braemar plans. One asked if the approximately $250,000 the highway department paid the school district to buy land could be used to build a stadium complex. Another asked about the availability of capital outlay funds. Another asked if the project could be jointly funded by the school dis- trict and city. Still another asked if the installation of artificial turf or a special durable grass on the Edina East field might not be more eco- nomically feasible than a new com- plex. The main legal question was whether the district could run into problems build- ing at Braemar because the area is in the Edina city limits but in the Eden Prairie School District. The matter was delayed until a com- mittee of school board and City Council members can report back with answers. Sizes: XL 40 -46 on-Mr. SAVE $20.00!

I - (,. We reported to you sometime ago that although the master . contract had been agreed to by the Management group and the Union, we were going-into mediation over local contract issues. After one medi- ation- session at which we were still stalemated at the position reported to you May 20, we have reached an agreement. That agreement is basically the position adopted by the City prior to the mediation session, that the master contract stands as agreed and no other -cost items be included in the local issues other than changing the vacation accrual formula to con -. form with Ordinance No. 121 -A,2. This is a two -year contract for the years 1974 and 1975. It provides for a $65 per monthincrease for-b6th light and- -heavy equipment operators in 1974 (L.E.O. - $855 to $920 or -a 7.60% increase and H.E.O. $920 to $990 or a 7.03% increase). In addition, the City pays $10 per month towards the dependent's insurance coverage effective July 1 (we will make a cash payment of $20 for the months of July and August due to the lateness.of the contract signing). January 1, 1975, the rates are increased $70 per month for L.E.O. and $75 per month for H.E.O. (L.E.O. - $920 to $990 or a 8.15% increase and H.E.O. $990 to $1,065 or a 7.07% increase). In addition, the City pays an additional $5.00 per month towards the dependent's in- surance coverage. Also attached to the copy of the proposed contract is a narrative of the changes in the new master contract language for 1974 -75. These changes tend to make the contract more understandable and workable and have not diminished the employer's authority to "run the store`. In addition to,these changes in the master contract, two changes have been made in the"Addendum" which concerns local issues. Already mentioned is the change in the vacation accrual formula to permit 20 days vacation after 15 years' service. The second change is the addition of a "non - discrimination" clause which is required under the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972. VIII -M PROPOSED 1974 -75 LABOR AGREEMENT WITH LOCAL NO. 49 Page Two On the whole, I feel the settlement is an honorable one. The wage increse of approximately 15% over two years is.favorable in light of recent rises in the cost of living. The contract does give the City the ability to "run the store ". The contract also establishes. the precedent of negotiation on items of fringe benefits for the Multi - Employer bargaining group which are of a common interest and high cost. to the employers. I recommend approval of the Agreement with the wages being paid retroactively to January 1, 1974 and the $10 /month towards the cost of dependents insurance coverage being paid in cash for the months of July and August. Gary West Administrative Services Coordinator GW /hd ._ r: I �r n a- CITY OF BLOOMINGTON OLD SHAKOPEE ROAD AT PENN • BLOOMINGTON, MINN. 55431 March 25, 1974 TO: Managers and Administrators Represented by M.A.M.A. in Negotiations with Local 49, Operating Engineers- Gentlemen: We have what is termed a "Mediators Proposal" for a two -year, 1974 and 1975, settlement with Local 49. The Union has accepted by a vote of 157 in favor and 115 opposed. Your committee has agreed -- Malcolm Watson and I at our mediation meeting on March 22nd and Steve Bernard in "concept ". at the previous meeting when we roughly determined the content of the "Mediators Proposal." We have probably exceeded the authority delegated by you but have never- theless agreed and urge your acceptance and approval. In addition to the money items in the "Mediators Proposal" there are language changes in the master contract which were proposed by Cy Smythe and accepted by the Union; these are being incorporated in the Agreement which will be sent out to you in the next several days. The Agreement provides for a $65 per month increase for.both the Light and Heavy Equipment Operator classifications for 1974 - -to be retroactive to January 1, 1974, the L.E.O. thus increases from $855 to $920 and H.E.O. from $925 to $990. Then, effective July 1, 1974, there is to be $10 per month paid by the municipality towards the Dependent Insurance Coverage of each employee in the bargaining unit who has such coverage. If the partic- ular municipality already pays that much or more, then there is to be no increase. It is our understanding that at least six already pay this much or-more and that two more, possibly three, were going to commence payment, in 1974. On January 1, 1975, the L.E.O.'s will increase $70 per month; from $920 to $990. The H.E.O.'s will increase $75 per month; from $990 to $1,065. Also, on January 1, 1974, the payment for Dependents Insurance will be increased an additional $5.00 per month to a maximum of $15. Also on January 1, 1974, the number of holidays is to be increased to 10 in those municipalities that do not already.give that number. According to Stanton, 10 of the 22 munic- ipalities already give 10 paid holidays, but we are informed that when half - day holidays, such as Christmas Eve and ,dew years Lave, are included, as they should be where observed, that more of you will not be affected by this agreed benefit. Plymouth, as you know, settled on the basis of our previous offer, which the Union accepted for Plymouth but rejected for us; that is, $62 per month for L.E.O.'s and $65 per month for ti.E.O.'s and with an effective date.of February 1 as contrasted to our proposed January 1 effective date. This has caused some problem. When, however, you look at the Dependent Insurance coverage which Stanton reports for Plymouth, at $22.32 per month, it is easy _4 lt4 -2- March 25, 1974 to rationalize. The Plymouth wage settlement for L.E.O.'s is $682 per year as contrasted to our proposed $780, but with the Insurance the total is $949.84 as contrasted to our $840 (for those who have not already paid that particular benefit). For Heavys, Plymouth is $715 plus $267.84 or $982.84, and ours is $780 plus $60 or $840. (This, of course, is over- simplified as it does not take into account disparity in other fringes where we vary considerably). By coming to agreement on two of the more important so- called Fringe Benefits, Dependents Coverage and Holidays, we are effectively trending toward real uniformity, as we had so expressed our intention last summer at the Lafayette Club and then abandoned. Agreement on these two fringes should be considered a bar to local demands in the fringe area. It is so understood by your committee and by the Union although they did say that where someone is wholly out of line, they would seek redress in local agreement. I do not know of the particulars they have in mind, but would ask that local demands be forwarded to me and to Cy. In the next contract we should be able to agree on a couple more of these fringes, e.g. Vacation and Sick Leave (these were mentioned by the Committee, meeting alone and then by the Union when they came back into the room). On the whole I believe this isn't too bad a settlement, especially when the newspaper and T.V. were trumpeting a 10% increase in the cost of living on the very night the Union was meeting with-the Mediator to consider the proposal. It adds some strength to Multi - Employer bargaining which is still quite fragile. The total cost for the two -year period will be about 15% which today looks pretty good though quite expensive. It makes me optimistic about reaching uniformity and, hopefully, stability. It gives us all, municipalities and the Union, time to get our respective houses in order, particularly in the area of work practices and the like. Approval is recommended. .i Very, t my yours', - LJohn Pidgeoi /aManagers airman Metr politan Ar Association J Negotiating Committee r cc: John Cottingham, Coon Rapids Jim Willis, Plymouth •r MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING The Metropolitan Area Managers Association Negotiating Committee for negotiations with the International Union of Operating Engineers Lccal 49 agrees to recommend to the individual managers who have agreed to be represented by the committee, the following settlement for the years 1974 and 1975: 1..

The time limit in each step may be extended by mutual agreement of the EMPLOYER and the UNION. 6.7 CHOICE OF REMEDY If, as a result of the written EMPLOYER response in Step 3, the grievance remains unresolved, and if the grievance involves the suspension, demotion or discharge of an employee who has completed the required probationary period, the grievance may be appealed either to Step 4 of ARTICLE VI or a procedure such as: Section 17 of. 39:10 the Edina Personnel Rules, Veteran's Preference, or Fair Employment. If appealed to any procedure other than Step 4 of ARTICLE VI, the grievance is not subject to the arbitration procedure as provided 4 in Step 4 of ARTICLE VI.

There be and hereby is granted to Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota corporation, its successors and assigns, hereinafter referred to as "Company ", during the period of 20 years from the date hereof, the right and privilege of constructing, operating,. repairing, and maintaining, in, on, over, under, and across the streets, alleys, and public grounds of the City of Edina, Hennepin County, Minnesota, hereinafter referred to as "Municipality ", an electric distribution system and electric transmission lines, including poles, pole lines, and fixtures and appurtenances, usually, conveniently, or necessarily used in con - nection therewith, for the purpose of transmitting and furnishing electric energy for light, heat, power, and other purposes for public and private use in and to said Municipality and the inhabi- tants thereof, and others, and for the purpose of transmitting into and through said Municipality such electric energy, provided that such electric distribution system and transmission lines shall be so located as in no way to interfere with the safety and conve- ience of ordinary travel along and over said streets, alleys, and public grounds, and provided that Company, in the construction, operation, repair, and maintenance of such poles, pole lines, and fixtures and appurtenances, shall be subject to such reasonable regulation as may be imposed by the Municipal Council. Section 2. There is also granted to Company, during the term hereof, permission and authority to trim all trees and shrubs in the streets, alleys, and public grounds of said Munici- pality interfering with the proper construction, operation, repair, and maintenance of any poles, pole lines, and fixtures or appurte- nances, installed in pursuance of the authority hereby granted, provided that Company shall save said Municipality harmless from any liability on the premises. Section 3. The rates to be charged by Company for electric service in the Municipality shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Public Service Commission of this State. Company shall provide reasonably efficient and adequate service to members of the public within the Municipality who apply for such service in accordance with the rules and regulations of Company. Electric service provided by Company to its customers in the Municipality is subject to interruption and disturbance due to (a) conditions beyond its control; (b) necessary maintenance and operation of its system; (c) effect of operations of any interconnecting electric systems; (d) curtailment of electric service as may be prudent to maintain service to priority loads or to maintain the operating stability of its system;'and (e) temporary interruptions or 'disturbance of service. Neither Company nor Municipality shall be liable for any damage or loss for interruption or disturbance of'service due to such causes. Section 4. Whenever the Municipality initiates a public improvement which requires the removal, relocation, or rearrange- ment of Company's facilities located on public streets, alleys, or grounds, Company, upon reasonable notice by the Municipality, shall relocate its facilities without charge to the Municipality; provided, the foregoing shall not deprive Company of any right it may have under State law to be reimbursed for any relocation, removal, or rearrangement required for the improvement or construction of a Federally aided highway project; and provided further that, in the event Federal or State grants are made available for financing any of such public improvements requiring relocation of Company's facilities, Company shall be reimbursed for such relocation from the Federal or State funds available. The foregoing shall not be construed so as to require the Munici- pality to reimburse Company out of local funds for any such relocation costs. Section 5. The vacation of any street, alley, public way or ground, after the installation of electric facilities, shall not operate to deprive the Company of the right to operate and maintain such electrical facilities until the reasonable costs of relocating the same and the loss and expense resulting from such relocation are first paid to the Company, except where the vacation is for the primary benefit of the Municipality in the furtherance of a public improvement. Section 6. Company shall indemnify, keep, and hold Munici- pality, its officers, employees, and agents free and harmless from any and all liability on account of injury to persons or damage to property occasioned by the construction, maintenance, repair, removal, or operation of Company's property located in, on, over, under, or across the streets, alleys, public ways, and public grounds of Municipality, unless such injury or damage is the result of the negligence of Municipality, its employees, officers, or agents, or results from the performance in a proper manner of acts reasonably determined to be hazardous by Company, but such performance is nevertheless ordered or directed by Municipality after notice.of such determination by Company. In the event that suit shall be brought against Municipality under circumstances where the above agreement to indemnify applies, Company, at its sole cost and expense, shall defend Municipality in such suit if written notice of the suit is promptly given to Company within a period wherein Company is not prejudiced by lack of such notice. If such notice is not timely given, as - 2 - hereinbefore provided, Company shall have no duty to indemnify nor defend. If Company is required to indemnify and defend, it will thereafter have complete control of such litigation, but Company may not settle such litigation without the consent of the Municipality unless Municipality unreasonably withholds such consent. This section is not, as to third parties, a waiver of any defense or immunity otherwise available to the Company, and the Company, in defending any action on behalf of the Municipality, shall be entitled to assert in any such action every defense or immunity that the Municipality could assert in its own behalf. Section 7. Company shall have full right and authority to assign to any person, persons, firm, or corporation all the rights conferred upon it by this Ordinance, provided that the assignee of such rights, by accepting such assignment, shall become subject to the terms and provisions of this Ordinance. Section 8. Every section, provision, or part of this Ordinance is declared separate from every other section, provision, or part; and if any section, provision, or part shall be held invalid, it shall not affect any other section, provision, or part. Section 9. Company shall, if it accepts this Ordinance and the rights hereby granted, file a written acceptance of the rights hereby granted with the Municipality within 90 days after passage of this Ordinance by the Municipality. Section 10. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage, any publication required by law, and acceptance by Company. Section 11.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. 55402 July 31, 1974 Village Council Village of Edina Edina, Minnesota Gentlemen: Our examination of the financial statements of the various funds of the Village of Edina for the year ended December 31, 1974 included a review of internal control and accounting procedures. The following comments are presented for your consideration. Internal Control We noted instances where claims (request for check) were not .signed as being authorized. Careful review should be made to assure that checks are only issued for claims bearing authorized signatures or which have been approved by the Village Council. Controls over automobile license sales are weak. At present, profit on sales in the form of cash is allowed to accumulate in a separate bank account. The activity in this account for 1973 was not reconciled until May of 1974. It was noted that approximately $80,000 in profit on license sales for the "years 1971 through 1973 has accumulated in the bank account. We suggest that the account be reconciled each month, the liability to the State determined, and the reasonableness of the profit determined. Profit should be periodically transferred to the Village's general account where it would be available for current operations or investment. At present the Gun Range has little control over cash receipts. Since there is no established working fund, an amount considered sufficient to start the following day's business is held out of current receipts. A working fund should be established to allow receipts to be deposited intact on a daily basis. Further, control would be improved if a cash register or prenumbered receipt book were used to record cash receipts. We noted that the transaction sequence number on the cashier's register at the city hall is turned back to one each day. With each day starting over the continuity of register transactions cannot be tested since transactions could be made after cutoff for the day and the register then turned back. We recommend that the register not be turned back each day so that continuity of register transactions could be tested .and accounted for. XII C ,- _ A. -2- July 31, 1974 No signed deduction for cancer insurance is kept in the employee's personnel file. This could be corrected by having a deduction authori- zation card completed and retained in the employee personnel file. Signature plates and keys for the check signing machine are kept in the Finance Director's desk which is unlocked. Anyone in the accounting area is permitted to obtain the keys and plates and use the machine without approval from another person. Although a log is maintained of check numbers used and of the number of checks signed, no review is made of the log. Internal control over the check signing machine would improve if the plates and keys were kept locked up, access to the machine limited to fewer employees, and the log of check numbers used reviewed.' The Village has discontinued the practice of making surprise cash counts of operating cash funds. In addition, the practice of testing cash register tapes for continuity of ringups to account for cash receipts was not followed. We believe that these procedures were significant control features and should be resumed. Accounts Receivable The detailed water and sewer accounts receivable balances were com- pared to the general ledger control account balance at year end. As in the prior year, such a comparison resulted in an unexplained shortage and the accounts receivable control balance was reduced. While we believe that weak- nesses in the existing receivables system should be corrected (as commented upon in prior years), we understand that the receivables may shortly be transferred to the LOGIS system which should improve control over receivable balances. TnvPGtmantc Our examination included a separate examination of the financial statements of the Edina Firemen's Relief Association. We observed that bonds and coupons on security investments of the Association are not redeemed promptly. At present these securities are kept in safe deposit boxes. We again suggest that the Association place the securities in safekeeping with a bank which would redeem and collect coupons and bonds as they come due. This would improve the Association's cash flow and would eliminate the necessity of maintaining one of its two safety deposit boxes. -3- July 31, 1974 General At present the Village applies differing accounting policies to each fund. Although these policies appear similar among the operating funds and among the non - operating funds, they are internal policies. We suggest that the Finance Director identify each Village fund as an operating or non - operating fund and that he document accounting policies for all operating or non- operating funds as a group. This would help ensure con- tinued accounting uniformity between funds of the same nature. As a part of this proposed project we suggest that the Finance Director consider the recommendations of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants relative to governmental accounting. We thank Village personnel for their continued cooperation and assistance during our examination. If you have any questions regarding the above comments or any other matters with which we may be of assistance, we would be pleased to discuss them with you.

G. EVENSEN & ASSOCIATES, INC. Municipal Finance Consultants Affiliate of Northwest Bancorporation First National Bank Building Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402 612/336 1637 AUGUST 107A Municipal Market Conditions Visions of 1970 pervaded the nation's money and capital markets through late and early July as interest rates in all sectors rose at or near record rates to reach new heights. The disarray was also evident in the municipal market as municipal interest rates, which had already begun to rise earlier in the year but in a more orderly fashion, climbed at a record rate in early July. During the week ending July 5, the Bond Buyer's Index jumped a record 31 basis points only to be followed by another 31 basis point increase during the following week. This level of 6.95 percent was only slightly lower than the record level of 7.13 percent that was marked at the height of the 1970 credit crunch period. Following the sharp run -up in rates, the municipal market experienced some adjustments during the week ending July.19, as improved yields pervaded all maturity ranges. The Bond Buyer's Index dropped some 17 basis points to 6.78 percent. Rates on shorter mat- urities dropped about 50 basis points. A number of reasons seem to have accounted for the stronger market conditions. Among the technical factors were a sharp decline in the visible supply of new offerings and lower dealer inventories. These technical factors were assisted by the host of new issues that were either canceled, scaled down or where bids were rejected because of the extremelyhigh rates in the preceding week. Included among this last category were the record $438 million offering of New York City when the one bid for 7.92 percent was rejected as being excessive and the $40 million Chicago sale that was scaled down to $8 million and then negotiated because of the high interest rates. Announcements T.G. Evensen & Associates, Inc. has recently been retained as Financial Advisor by the_L State of Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. The Agency was authorized by the State Leg- islature to issue $500 million in bonds for housing. In addition to the bond financing, the Agency will offer short term note issues several times annually. On July 1, 1974, Douglas County, Minnesota sold a $2,750, 000 bond issue to the United States Department of Health, Education & Welfare. The proceeds of the issue along with a grant of $1, 000, 000 and local funds were used to finance a $4,250, 000 Hospital which was constructed in Alexandria, Minnesota. The "Direct Loan Bond Issue" was the first of its kind in the United States to be purchased by H. E. W. Douglas County received an interest rate of 4.625% on the 25 year offering. It was a privilege of T.G. Evensen & Associates_to serve as the County's Financial Advi- sor on all phases of the financing. If your community is planning a hospital project or any other capital improvement, T.G. Evensen & Associates, Inc. is available to discuss the methods of financing available to you. 7.00% 6.75% 6.50% 6.25% 6.00% 5.75% 5.50% 5.25% 5.00% 's Index 1973 1974 Visible Supply millions AT MID MONTH) of $ 1625 ------------------------------- _--- 1500 1375 1250 1125 1000 875 750 600 F M AM J J 1973 1974 Recent Bond Sales Amount Moody's Sale Date Issuer 0001s Purpose Run BBI Rating NIC July 17 St. Cloud, Mn. 2,350 Improvements 77/86 6.78 A -1 6.109 16 Waterloo, Iowa 4,000 Various Purpose 76/85 " As 5.946 15 Minot, No. Dakota 425 Temp.Impr.

Engineer Gordon Hughes, Environmental Planner FROM: Greg Luce, City Planner SUBJECT: Folke Victorsen Rezoning At the July 15th Council meeting, the Council, after a presentation by the planning staff and input from the citizenry, voted in favor of the Folke Victorsen rezoning, relying in part on a recommendaticn from the Planning Commission and Environmental Quality Commission. Please be informed that I erred in making the report regarding the recommendation of the EQC. Their recommendation was that the EQC does not object to the 74 unit apartment building but objects to the single family area, the mount of land that would be disturbed, and the necessary road grade; they therefore, on a split vote, recommended denial of the rezoning. I reported to you that the Environmental Quality Commission recommended approval. GL:ln 7/19/74 cc Folkke Victorsen ,I//9/141 EHLERS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55402 339 -8291 (AREA CODE 612) July 1, 1974 File: Financial Consultants: Ehlers and Associates Please distribute to governing body members Tax exempt bonds and other interest rates continue at high levels with little relief in sight with the Dow Jones at 5.98% (Bond Buyer Index at 6.04 %). Dow Jones Index 5.98% The underlying problem is worldwide inflation and Municipal Bond Yield inflation expectations which everyone deplores and does precious little about. Time Magazine, June 10, featured the problem pointing out that, his- torically, the "real" rate of interest has been 3% but that with, say, an 11 -1/2% prime rate and 10% inflation the present "real" rate is 1 -1/2%. This tells only half the story. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL Monday, June 17, 1974 With a 50% federal income tax (not to mention state taxes), 11 -1/2% becomes 5.75 %. Then, deducting 10% inflation, the real rate is negative 4.75 %. (For the owner of a 6% tax exempt municipal bond the real rate is only negative U.) No one benefits from inflation. The owners of capital (lenders who presumably have earned and saved more than they consumed) stand to lose 90% of their savings in 20 years. Borrowers pay outrageous interest rates. Consumers pay sharply higher prices. Why can't we solve the problem? Primarily because Congress, which is charged with regulating the currency, is unwilling to take the required measures. There is a populist feeling (Patman) that the way to solve inflation and reduce interest rates is simply to provide more money and /or reduce taxes. The monetarists (Friedman, Burns) say it takes the stronger medicine of slowing the money supply growth and less government spending. Both can't be right, and the first thing to sort out is: Who is wrong? The root problem lies, perhaps, in the Full Employment Act of 1946 which says that over 4% unemployment is a signal for government intervention, e.g. deficit spending. As humane and laudable as that goal is, it may be unrealistic - -if it destroys the economy in the flames of a raging inflation. If the public loses confidence in the currency, full employment becomes meaningless. The Duluth meeting, League of Minnesota Municipalities, afforded an opportunity to renew acquaintances with an old friend, Bill McCarthy of Moody's Investors Service. At our request Bill took the occasion to address the Municipal Clerks and Finance Officers Asso- ciation and also to attend a concurrent Twin Cities gathering of bond dealers from around the country. We took the opportunity to fly Mr. McCarthy over some metro areas, Aitkin and the Iron Range (Grand Rapids, Hibbing, Virginia, Silver Bay) to Duluth. In 1964 Bill was one of the first municipal bond rating analysts to visit Minnesota. Pt Phil Chenoweth represented us at the MFOA Conference in Las Vegas. He states that the meetings were most informative and that he had to make five straight passes, whatever that means. Must remember to check the expense account. During the week of June 17 Eric Altman, Moody's rating analyst for Minnesota, the Dakotas and Wisconsin, visited the area. Seegar Swanson and Eric participated in a bond rating.program at the Wisconsin Treasurers Association Convention in Marinette. This was.Eric's first visit since his assignment to this area. We look forward to working with him.
