On January 16, 2001, the HRA approved a draft of a Request for Proposal (RFP) with
respect to the bus garage property. Staff advised that the Board of Education was
scheduled to consider the same RFP later in the week. On Friday, January 19, 2001, the
Board approved the Request for Proposal with the condition that it embody a Resolution
adopted by the Board on October 11, 1999. This Resolution is attached. Given the
requirements contained in the Resolution, I thought it was appropriate for the HRA to
discuss this prior to the dissemination of the Request for Proposal.

PRELIMINARY PLAT DENIED FOR 5343 INTERLACHEN AND 5012 OXFORD AVENUE
Affidavits of Notice were presented, approved and ordered placed on file.
Staff Presentation
Planner Larsen explained the subject property comprises three single dwelling lots all zoned
R -1, Single Dwelling Unit district. There are two houses located on the properties. Total area
of the three lots is 0.61 acres or 26,572 feet. The Comprehensive Plan designates the
properties as Single Family.
Mr. Larsen reported the Planning Commission reviewed a five -lot, zero lot line development
of the subject property at their November 1, 2000, meeting: The proposal was reviewed under
multi- family zoning standards, and would have required a rezoning of the property. After
the November 1, 2000, hearing the request was withdrawn. The proponent then submitted a
revised four -lot conventional plat; for the November 20, 2000, meeting. The Planning
Commission recommended approval of the preliminary plat. However, after the meeting it
was discovered that errors were made in data representing the 500 -foot neighborhood, which
required that the Planning Commission hear the request a second time.
Revised median numbers for lots within the 500 foot neighborhood surrounding the
proposed subdivision are as follows:
Lot Width
75 feet
Lot Depth
136 feet
Lot Area
9,750 sq. ft.
Lots within the proposed subdivision have the following dimensions and areas.
Lot 1 = 48.69 feet* 133 feet* 6,493 sq. ft.*
Lot 2 - 50 feet:* 133 feet* 6,659 sq. ft.*
Lot 3 - 50 feet* 133 feet* 6,659 sq. ft.*
Lot 4 - 50 feet* 132 feet* 6,638 sq. ft.*
* requires a variance
Mr. Larsen added that although all of the lots require variances, in his opinion, the
development would fit the neighborhood. The most important measure, lot width, fits the
development pattern of the Brookside Heights neighborhood. The numbers are skewed
because the subject property is at the edge of the neighborhood causing the larger lots to the
north and west to become part of the formula. The best way to ensure that the new houses
are compatible in size and scale with the existing homes is to provide a similar lot width. The
one and a half story homes the developer intends to build would be compatible.' Mr. Larsen
added that reducing the plat to three -lots would not eliminate the variances completely, but
would most likely result in three homes larger than the typical home in Brookside Heights.
Page 2
Minutes/Edina City CounciVlanuary 16, 2001
The Planning Commission reconsidered the proposed subdivision at their January 3, 2001,
meeting. After receiving the revised data relating to the neighborhood median values for lot
width, lot depth, and lot area; and hearing testimony from staff and neighbors; the
Commission recommended denial of the proposed subdivision.
Member Hovland asked what the existing setback was from 5343 Interlachen Boulevard and
whether drainage was an issue in that area. Mr. Larsen replied the setback is approximately
50 feet and that Interlachen is the dividing line between two watershed districts 9 -Mile Creek
and Minnehaha Creek. He added that although the preliminary review was not completely
satisfactory, the City Engineer felt the drainage issues could be worked out.
Member Masica asked why staff would support smaller homes on smaller lots. Mr. Larsen
explained that the subject property was more closely related to the. Brookside Heights
neighborhood. He said the proposed houses would blend well with ' homes existing . on
Bedford, adding that with smaller lots controlling the size of the houses would be possible.
Member Kelly asked if any specific hardship had been identified to justify the necessary
varinaces. Mr. Larsen replied that no specific hardship had been identified.
Member Hovland asked if the City could control whether the homes built were one or two
stories and what the setback would be for the corner lots. Mr. Larsen replied that normally
the number of stories cannot be controlled. However, because of' the required variances
conditions could be imposed on the homes in this instance. The setback for corner lots would
be 15 feet each way.
Proponent Presentation
Jeff Schoenwetter, JMS Development, 5232 Ridgewood Drive, said his company is looking for
approval of a four -lot subdivision for two properties currently improved with two single
family homes. He noted that originally their request was for a five -site PUD, but they have
since changed their request to something he believed would be quite consistent with the
neighborhood. Mr. Schoenwetter stated that he could raze the existing homes and apply for
three building permits, but he would rather go through with the plat because he believed it
would be a better fit for the neighborhood.
Mr. Schoenwetter. graphically showed the existing homes on the property, several existing
setbacks on Interlachen, and renderings of the proposed homes for the site. He urged the
Council to approve his proposal stating that he had extensively worked with City staff and
the Planning Commission. He assured the Council that a drainage. plan could be engineered
that would be acceptable by both watershed districts, the City and the neighbors. He
acknowledged the neighborhood's concern, but re- iterated that his proposal was a thoughtful
solution to the needed renewal of the subject property. Mr. Schoenwetter urged the Council
to approve his preliminary plat as presented.
Member Housh asked what variances would be required for the proposed plat. Mr. Larsen
answered that each of the four lots would need variances for lot width, lot depth and lot area.
Page 3
Minutes/Edina City Council/ianuary 16, 2001
Member. Hovland commented that he believed that less than four homes would still work in
the area. Mr. Schoenwetter adamantly disagreed stating that it would not be financially
feasible to build the homes if the lot cost would have to be increased by 33 %.
Public Comment
Sharon Ming, 4110 Sunnyside Boulevard, stated she had served on the Edina Human
Relations Commission for over ten years and has lived. in Edina for 20 years. Ms. Ming said
she believed Edina lacked affordable housing. One way to fulfill this need would be approval
of higher density housing.
Member Housh asked what the. potential prices are planned for the proposal. Mr.
Schoenwetter replied the homes start at $100 per square foot and will be well under $300,000.
Robert Diehl,_ 4816 Vandervork Avenue questioned the prices of the proposed homes.
Member Hovland asked was side -lot setbacks are required. Mr. Larsen replied the side yard
setbacks start at five feet and then increase if there is a second story on a home, by 1/2 foot for
each foot over fifteen feet.
Member Masica commented that she thought the entire residential community needed
consideration when evaluating a proposed subdivision. She expressed concern that the
proposed subdivision did not meet the goals set forth in the City's 20/20 Vision.
Member Kelly complimented Member Mascia for her quick understanding of Edina's vision.
He added he could see no hardships or compelling reason to approve the plat as presented.
In addition, Member Kelly expressed his disappointment that the plat had been presented in
its present form.
Member Housh stated that as a new Council member he would be inclined to put his faith in
the Planning Commissions recommendation. He complimented the developer for the
designs of the proposed homes, stating that while he could possibly approve a 3 -lot
development, he did not believe four lots were appropriate to the site.
Member Hovland said he would like to see the property re- developed. He also commended
the developer, but agreed that the current proposal is not right. The neighbors .are telling us
the density is too high. The site does not meet the standards for hardship. Four lots would be
too much for the site. The Council must look at the City,'s code when reviewing subdivisions
and those guidelines compel him to say no to four lots.
Mayor Maetzold agreed that he would not be in favor of the subdivision as proposed.
Member Hovland made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Member Kelly.
Ayes: Housh, Hovland, Kelly, Masica, Maetzold
Motion carried.
Page 4
Minutes/Edina City Council/ianuary 16, 2001

Ayes: Housh, Hovland, Kelly, Masica, Maetzold
Motion carried.
Mayor Maetzold acknowledged that persons in attendance wanted to speak. He noted the
hearing had been closed and the preliminary plat denied. He told the public they would be
allowed to speak briefly.
Richard .Miller, 5340 Hollywood Road requested that his letter of January 2, 2001, to the
Edina Planning Commission be noted on file as well as his neighbor .Mr. Peter Leenders of
5317 Hollywood Road. Mayor Maetzold acknowledged receipt of the letters and noted they
would be on file at City Hall.
Peter Leenders, 5317 Hollywood Road expressed his disappointment over the proposed
subdivision.
Linda Bofenkamp, 5332 Hollywood Road stated her concern over the proposed setback from
Interlachen Boulevard. She asked that the integrity of the boulevard be maintained no matter
what is proposed for the subject property.
Carolyne Bisson, 5340 Hollywood Road, presented a petition signed by property owners on
Oxford Avenue, Hollywood Road, Interlachen Boulevard, Blossom, Court, Bedford Avenue,
Vandervork Avenue, Orchard Lane, and Mirror Lakes Drive, objecting to the proposed
subdivision. Ms. Bisson added she had requested an environmental assessment worksheet
from the Environmental Quality Board on behalf of the Interlachen Neighborhood
Homeowners Association.

ON SALE LIQUOR LICENSE TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP APPROVED FOR BIG
BOWL RESTAURANT Manager Hughes explained that Big Bowl, Inc., dba /Big Bowl Cafe
in the Galleria was one of the original on -sale intoxicating liquor licensees and was under
corporate ownership of Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises, LLC and Brinker International,
with each having a 50% ownership. City Code requires a new application be filed when
changes of more than 10% occur in the corporate ownership. Appropriate applications have
been submitted and all applicable fees paid from Brinker International.
The Planning Department reviewed the application and finds it in compliance with code
requirements. The Health Department is satisfied with the applicants' plan for storage and
service and the Police Department, upon investigation, found no negative findings.
Staff recommends approving an on -sale intoxicating liquor license and on -sale Sunday
license to Big Bowl, Inc., under the corporate ownership of Brinker Restaurant Corporation
dba /Big Bowl Cafe beginning January 17, 2001 to March 31, 2001.

BLUE RIBBON COMMITTEE UPDATE PRESENTED; HEARING DATE SET OF
FEBRUARY 15, 2001 Bob Christianson, Chair of the Blue Ribbon Committee, commended the
Committee for their diligent efforts. He explained the Committee could not have
accomplished what they did without the skill expended from Director Keprios and Assistant
Director MacHolda.
Director Keprios explained that TSP One, Inc., Architects as well as Anderson Johnson
Engineers were in attendance and prepared to answer questions, but had not prepared a
formal presentation. He added they were prepared to show site plans if the Council desired.
Director Keprios described the process that has been ongoing since late 1999. The City and
School District determined they should work together to provide public facilities for
community use. Decision Resources conducted a telephone survey to determine if support
existed for such a project. The survey determined there would be community support for the
project.
The Council formed the Blue Ribbon Committee consisting of following eleven citizen
members:

The Blue Ribbon Committee's mission was as follows:
1. What is the need for additional gymnasiums, soccer fields and auditoriums in the
City?
2. What other needs should be addressed?.
3. Is there an opportunity to work with Edina Public Schools to meet the City's
recreational needs? If so, how should such an arrangement be structured?
4. Are there other partnerships that should be made to provide recreational facilities?
5. Is it appropriate for some or, all of the facilities to be located on school district
property?
6. Will the recommended package of facilities and improvements be acceptable to the
community?

WHY LOCATE INDOOR ATHLETIC FIELD AT KUHLMAN STADIUM?
• Kuhlman .must have artificial turf to allow community access
• Adjacent to schools would maximize use
• Storage available under bleachers, for fabric
• Security fencing already in place
• 210 feet wide, 380 feet long and 65 feet high
• Least expensive site versus alternative site
OTHER POTENTIAL LOCATIONS FOR BUBBLE:
• Lewis Park (would need security fencing, artificial turf 'but not close to
school)
• ECC Middle Field (too close to residents, field too small, needs higher
fencing)
• Valley View Middle School Baseball Field (needs road and parking lot,
artificial turf, security fencing, field is too small)
Page 11
Minutes/Edina City CounciVlanuary 16, 2001

• Braemar Park at Former Gun Range site (needs extensive grading, artificial
turf, additional parking, security fencing, not close to school, site currently
planned for Police/ Fire Training Facility)
Mr. Keprios asked if the Blue Ribbon Committee accomplished its mission:
0 What is the need for additional gymnasiums, soccer fields and an auditorium in
City?
Committee Recommendations:
4 new gymnasiums
Access to five new multi- purpose athletic fields
New Black Box Theater
What other needs should be addressed?
Renovate or replace worn infrastructure
Provide new additional facilities based on demonstrated needs.
0 Is there an opportunity to work with Edina Public Schools to meet the City's
recreational needs? (YES) If so, how should such an arrangement be structured?
Committee Recommendations:
Recreational facilities- on School District property should be operated/
maintained by School District
Recreational facilities on City property should be operated/ maintained by City
0 Are there other partnerships that should be made to provide recreation facilities?
Southdale YMCA (Skate Park, Gymnasiums)
Northwest Health Club (Midwest Health Club,, Braemar Park Site)
0 Is it appropriate for some or all of the facilities to be located on school district
property?
All additional facilities, performing arts theater, gymnasiums, competition pool,
bubble and athletic fields should be located on school property because:
No additional costs
Additional costs to operate and maintain new gyms, theater and pool are
incremental additions.
0 Will the recommended package of facilities and improvements be acceptable to the
community?
Blue Ribbon Committee recommendations are responsive to groups and
individuals who provided input.
Mr. Keprios explained the Committee found it too difficult to determine the overall
community support at this time. He added Decision Resources suggested, the majority of the
community will support the proposal if there were no controversial projects.
Mr. Keprios explained several projects require further study to determine, more accurate
construction costs, i.e.; gyms, pools, Black Box Theater, Courtney Fields building, etc. Based
on information received from various groups, the Blue Ribbon Committee has determined
their recommended projects to improve parks, programs and recreational facilities. The
estimated total cost of the recommended projects is approximately $37,121,600.00.

Director Keprios gave two tax impact scenarios for a referendum at $35,000,000 and at
$40,000,000. He suggested a timeline as follows:
February 6, 2001 Approve Joint Powers Agreement and Facilities Use Agreement
February 20, 2001 Joint Council/ School Board Meeting
February 20, 2001 Public Hearing
March 6, 2001 Council Approves Date, Amount and Scope of Referendum
April 23, 2001 Public Information Mailed to All Residents
May 16, 2001 (WEDNESDAY) Referendum Date
Council comments
Mayor Maetzold suggested that discussion focus on two things, 1) general findings of the
panel and 2) the proposed timeline.
Member Kelly asked whether the Capital Improvement Plan could be funded through the
referendum. Attorney Gilligan noted the referendum, would fund specified capital projects,
but not a reserve or capital improvement fund. Manager Hughes noted that a Capital
Improvement Plan for the entire City, was being developed. Member' Kelly reminded the
Council that when this proposal was first discussed, it was purported there would be a
utility/ maintenance savings. He asked if we are still operating under this understanding.
Director Keprios said yes, but the bubble may be an issue. Member Kelly said since most of
the project is on school property, when the use agreement is finalized, a clear case is made
that persons not enrolled in the Edina school system will have use of the facilities. He stated
the registration system should be a web -based design shared between the School District and
the City. Director Keprios said how this would work has yet to be determined. Member Kelly
voiced concern that the same problem would exist with the lower fields flooding with either
a bubble or regular fields. Director Keprios explained the natural turf fields would be 90%
sand and are purported to be ready for play within 20 minutes after a three inch rain.
Member Hovland voiced concern with security, safety, parking and access issues to the
Community Center site. Director Keprios commented that the majority of people support the
auditorium design and concept. Parking concerns would be addressed by compromising the
existing field. Member Hovland inquired about the operating costs for the perfoming art
center. Director Keprios said that has not been discussed. Member Hovland asked if
discussions have been held about the Edina Swim Club being involved and in the sharing of
expenses on the proposed new pool. Director Keprios said they are aware their rents will
increase and were supportive. He added the school district would run the facilities and
maintain them. Any increase in fees would be their decision. Manager Hughes said
Page 13
Minutes/Edina City CounciVianuary 16, 2001
I
historically that is the manner the City has operated under. Member Hovland asked if there
are any resources in the referendum not shared with the school district. Director Keprios
indicated if it is part. of the referendum -it would, by law, have to have community access.
Member Hovland asked specifically about the Black Box Theater. Director Keprios explained
some discussion has ensued with the difference of access during the school year and summer.
Member Hovland asked which proposed projects would generate a positive cash flow.
Director Keprios indicated the bubble and Aquatic Center would have the potential to be the
primary sources. Member Hovland asked if the bubble were profitable where would the
profit go. Director Keprios said that has not been discussed. Member Hovland asked if
decentralization of the gymnasiums effect the ability to raise funds for operating expenses.
Director Keprios said that has not been discussed. Bob Christianson said the Committee did
not detail operating costs, etc. They did not feel it was their charge and did not have time.
Member Hovland asked if a track is proposed in the bubble. Director Keprios said no but
nothing prohibits walkers /runners from using the bubble. Member Hovland inquired why
locker rooms were not included in Braemar Arena. Bob Christianson said the identified need
for locker rooms was for the Edina High School hockey program. The Committee felt the
public would not benefit from locker rooms.
Mayor Maetzold asked if the locker rooms could be used by figure skaters. Director Keprios
said is was unlikely the public would use the locker rooms.
Member Masica asked if it would add to the cost to add to the athletic campus at Braemar.
Director Keprios said it is possible but not preferred. Member Masica inquired when will we
know if the Braemar area will be used for a fire/ police training facility. Manager Hughes said
a decision should be forthcoming within the next few months. Member Masica asked if
establishing: an athletic campus at Braemar, is 'do- able'. Director Keprios answered yes.
Member Masica said currently parking is a concern at the Community Center. If activities
were going on at Kuhlman Field, the auditorium and Community Center, what parking
needs would be necessary. Director Keprios stated a parking and traffic study has not been
completed. He has in the past deferred questions about parking at the schools to the school.
Doug Johnson commented that like facilities, the bubble, has mostly pick -up /drop -off
patrons. The need for additional parking would be minimal. Parking studies show parking to
be inconvenient not inadequate during the day. At night with athletic activities parking is a
problem.
Bob Christianson stated he has cost figures of the four gym complex at Braemar and it would
cost twice as much to build and would not be located near a school. The Committee
concluded the fit with Braemar was not good. Member Masica said she is most concerned
with the impact of a bubble on the surrounding community. Director Keprios added the
bubble would be used 90% of the time for a practice facility not for competitions. It is
primarily used to practice summer sports during the winter. Manager Hughes explained that
the cost of the dome would be the same in any location. The one difference would be at
Braemar, a third artificial turf field would be necessary at a cost of $700,000 - $800,000.
Member Housh. asked in a City referendum, what is the acid test regarding usage of the
facilities. Attorney Gilligan added the facilities do not need to be City owned but the
Page 14
Minutes/Edina City Council/Tanuary 16, 2001
community would need access. Member Housh asked what the City's use of the Black Box
Theater would be. Director Keprios said the Theater was proposed by the School District but
was looked upon by the Blue Ribbon Committee as a 'field of dreams'. No one group came
before the Committee with a presentation yet they realized there is a need for that type of
facility. Member Housh read in the material presented that the School District would support
the bubble if it was self- sustaining. He asked what the scenario would be if other
communities also built bubbles and the demand would decline. Director Keprios said that the
facilities use agreement would be in place and would be the School District's problem. He
suggested further study could be done by the Committee on where the bubble would be
located.
Mayor Maetzold asked if the Committee felt that any other parts of the project other than the
locker rooms would not be appropriate. Director Keprios said the Committee felt the Jan
Apple Memorial Gardens at the Art Center could be funded by the Garden Council. A center
island at Arneson Park did not stay in the project. Bob Christianson said a dance studio was
suggested within the Black Box Theater, the Committee viewed it as more appropriate for the
School District to fund. Manager Hughes said an indoor running track was deemed not
appropriate in its design.
Member Kelly voiced concern if the bubble were constructed at Braemar, would the School
District still want Kuhlman field constructed of artificial turf. Director Keprios said yes.
Manager Hughes said if the community would be allowed to use Kuhlman, it would need to
be constructed with artificial turf. Member Kelly indicated that Kuhlman field is the premier
soccer field in Edina in his estimation. He stated he believes the use agreement could be
problematic and may need a school advocate and City advocate to insure that residents who
do not have connection with the school would be represented.
Member Housh suggested an advisory board could be established to oversee operations.
Director Keprios stated to the City's advantage a preliminary use agreement has been set up.
Doug Johnson said discussions have focused on two things, 1) defined 'booking' and 2) usage
times. There are also two parts to setting this system up, a 1) Joint Powers Agreement and 2)
Facility Use Agreement. Manager Hughes said the next thing on February 6, 2001, would be
to review the Agreements and give feedback. Member Kelly recommended the Blue Ribbon
Committee peruse the 'Agreements and give suggestions. Bob Christianson commented the
committee might look at the Agreements in a business context but he believed the City
Attorney should be involved. Member Kelly said he personally could not give any opinion
on the Agreement, not knowing the inner workings of the Park Department. Member
Hovland commented that many persons, both lawyers and staff have worked on the
Agreement.
Mayor Maetzold asked the Council for a decision on when to hold a public hearing and how
to notice the public. Following a brief Council discussion, a public hearing was set for
Thursday February 15, 2001. Member Masica suggested noticing residents in a 1,000 foot
radius of Kuhlman Field about the public hearing.
Page 15
Minutes/Edina City Council/ianuary 16, 2001
Member Masica made a motion setting a public hearing date of February 15, 2001, 7:00
P.M., location to be determined, for Blue Ribbon Committee recommendations, and to
notice residents in a 1000 foot radius of Kuhlman Field of the hearing. Member Kelly
seconded the motion.
Ayes: Housh, Hovland, Kelly, Masica, Maetzold
Motion carried.
Public comment
Bob Krengel, 405 Blake Road, pointed out a date in the Edina Sun Current was incorrect,
regarding the Blue Ribbon Committee meeting.
Gary Dorrian, 4708 West 60th Street, thanked the Committee and asked that more data on
massing, traffic, and marketing be made. available to the public. Member Kelly explained the
City does not have final support for the multi- million dollar cost yet. Information will be
made available in advance of the public hearing. Manager Hughes added what is incumbent
is that information must be provided to the voter so that on May 16th the voter can make an
informed decision. -Member Kelly suggested information be made available to the public
previous to the public hearing. Mr. Dorrian voiced concern with comments made regarding
fire safety at Braemar West. Director Keprios said the West Arena was built in the 1960's and
fire codes were different. It needs to be brought .up to code. Member Housh said what he
hears Mr. Dorrian requesting numbers proving the necessity of the proposals.
David Krasno, 5607 Dalrymple Road, voiced concern with traffic, parking and safety on his
street.
Sam Rouman, 4709 School Road, stated a mistake is being made if a mailing to each
household is not done regarding the public hearing.

made by every athletic organization known to man. She stated there is nothing underhanded

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Joint Powers Agreement and Facilities Use Agreement, which
are agreements between the City of Edina and Edina School District No. 273 pending the City Council's
approval to call for a recreational facilities referendum and pending approval of the Joint Power Agreement
and Facilities Use Agreement by Edina School District No. 273 prior to March 6, 2001.
INFO /BACKGROUND:
The Facilities Use Agreement is a proposed agreement between the City of Edina and Edina School District
No. 273 that was drafted by legal counsel to address ownership, 'maintenance, access to and operation of
recreational facilities funded by the City of Edina's recreational facilities referendum.
The Agreement is crafted under the premise that all recreational facility additions and improvements on
School District property funded by the City of Edina's recreational facilities referendum shall be:
• Owned by the School District.
• Maintained by the School District.
• Operated by the School District.
• Subject to School District imposed user fees commensurate with expenses
• Accessible to the City of Edina's recreational user groups. -
The Joint Powers Agreement is intended to establish an eight (8) member Board representing the City and

Draft of 1/24/01
JOINT POWERS
AGREEMENT
Dated as of 92001
This Agreement is made on May _, 2000, between Independent School District No. 273, a
Minnesota public corporation (the "District "), and the City of Edina, a Minnesota municipal corporation
(the "City").
1. PURPOSE
The District and the City have determined that is in the best interests of the residents of the
District and the City to undertake in a cooperative fashion the provision and upgrade of certain public
recreational, social and cultural facilities to be owned by the District (the "Project "). The goal of the
District and the City is to provide for the use of the facilities by members of the community in a manner
that is more cost effective and accessible than if such facilities were duplicated by the District and the
City. The purpose of this agreement is to set forth the terms governing the design and construction of the
Project and the ownership, operation, maintenance, and sale of the resulting facilities. The overall
guiding principle embodied in this agreement is the mutual desire of the Distri ct and the City to
maximize the use of the facilities resulting from the Project by all members of the District's and City's
respective constituencies. This agreement is made pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 471.59.
2. JOINT POWERS ORGANIZATION
2.1 To provide for the design and construction of the Project the District and the City agree
to establish an organization to be known as the Edina Joint Powers Organization (the "JPO "). The JPO
shall be responsible for the design and construction of the Project as provided herein.
2.2 The JPO shall be governed by a Board (the "Board ") consisting of eight members. The
District and the City shall each appoint two members of its governing body to serve as voting members of
the Board and shall appoint members of its governing body to serve as their alternates. The District and
the City shall each appoint two additional ex officio members to the Board, who need not be members of
their governing bodies. Members of the Board and their alternates shall serve without compensation.
Each member of the Board and alternates shall serve until a successor is appointed and assumes his or
her responsibilities. Members of the Board and alternates shall serve at the pleasure of the District in the
case of members and alternates appointed by the District, and the City in the case of members and
alternates appointed by the City. A vacancy on the Board shall be filled by the party whose position on
the Board is vacant.
2.3 Each voting member of the Board shall have one vote. The Board shall act by majority
vote of all voting members of the Board at a meeting duly called upon notice as prescribed by Minnesota
Statutes, Section 471.705. All 4 voting members of the Board shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction by the Board of any business.
2.4 The officers of the JPO shall consist of a Chair, a Vice Chair and a Secretary/Treasurer.
Each officer shall be elected annually by the Board and shall hold office until his/her successor takes
office, earlier disqualification, death, resignation or renewal. All officers must be voting members of the
Board.
The Chair shall preside at all meetings of the Board and shall perform all duties incident to the
office of Chair and such other duties as may be delegated by the Board. The Vice Chair shall act as
Chair in the absence of the Chair. The Secretary/Treasurer shall be responsible for keeping a record of
all of the proceedings of the Board. He /she shall have custody of the Board's funds, shall pay its bills,
shall keep its financial records, and generally conduct the financial affairs of the JPO. The
Secretary/Treasurer shall be responsible for such other matters as shall be delegated to him/her by the
Board. All checks issued on behalf of the JPO shall be approved by the Board and signed by the
Secretary/Treasurer and one other member of the Board. The Secretary/Treasurer shall be a member of
the Board appointed by the City. The JPO shall obtain a fidelity bond or other insurance to cover all
persons authorized to handle funds of the JPO.
2.5 The JPO shall terminate upon the final completion of the construction of the Project and
payment of all costs thereof or upon such earlier date as this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to
Section 11.2 hereof.
3. PROJECT
3.1 The Project shall consist of the facilities identified in Exhibit A hereto, subject to
modification as provided herein.
3.2 The costs of the Project will be financed primarily by general obligation bonds issued by
the City pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 475, if authorized at an election to be held by the City
no later than May 29, 2001. The City will also include in the election authorization to issue general
obligation bonds for improvements to City parks and recreation facilities which shall not be part of the
Project and shall not be subject to this Agreement. If the election passes the City intends to issue bonds
in the estimated principal amount of $ Such amount will be based on the estimated amount
of the cost of the Project (less costs to be paid by the District as provided in Section 7.4 hereof) plus (i)
amounts authorized for improvements to City parks and (i)) bond discount, bond counsel fees, financial
advisory fees, rating agency fees and other costs and expenses incurred by the City in issuing the bonds.
The decision to issue the bonds and the timing and structure thereof rests solely with the City. However,
bonds shall be sold on a schedule that assures that funds are available to the City to adequately pay bills
as costs are incurred in design and construction of the Project.
4. OWNERSHIP
4.1 The Project will be constructed on property owned by the District. The District agrees
that this property is available for the construction of the Project and will permit the JPO to construct the
Project on such property. The District agrees to permit access to its property and facilities to the extent
necessary to permit the construction of the Project and to allow vehicles associated with the construction
of the Project to park on the property owned by the District subject to reasonable regulation of such
parking by the District so as not to conflict with any activities carried on by the District in such facilities.
4.2 The facilities to be constructed as part of the Project will-be owned by the District and
the District will make the facilities available for community use as provided in the Facility Use
-2-
Agreement between the District and the City attached as Exhibit B hereto to be executed by the City and
the District simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
5. DESIGN
5.1 The City and the District have undertaken a predesign study prepared by TSP One, Inc.
dated , 2001 (collectively referred to as the " Predesign Study "). The JPO will promptly
proceed to retain project architects for the purpose of preparing preliminary plans and design
development drawings for the Project based upon the Predesign Study. Following completion of these
drawings and following successful passage of the election, the JPO will file an application for a
conditional use permit pursuant to the Edina City Code. If the conditional use permit is approved, the
JPO will authorize the project architects to proceed with construction plans and specifications. The
construction plans will also include a cost estimate. The final cost estimate will include all costs
associated with the Project, including, but not limited to, design fees as well as a contingency budget for
unforeseeable circumstances associated with the construction. Final construction plans, specifications
and cost estimates will be submitted to both the City and the District for City Council and School Board
approval. The JPO will comply with any requirements of Minnesota law with respect to approvals of
such plans and specifications by the Commissioner of Children, Families and Learning, since the
facilities to be constructed as part of the Project will take place on property of the District. The City may
charge the JPO its customary fees for the review of plans and specifications, the issuance of permits and
inspection of work on the Project in accordance with the Uniform Building Code.
6. CONSTRUCTION
6.1 If final construction plans and specifications are approved by the City Council and
School Board, the City Council has authorized the issuance of the bonds sufficient to fund the Project,
and state and local approvals have been obtained, then the JPO shall proceed with construction of the
Project. The JPO will advertise for bids in accordance with the requirements of the municipal
contracting law. The JPO shall retain an independent construction manager for the Project who will
oversee all construction bidding and processing of payments.
6.2 Prior to awarding construction contracts the JPO will review the bids received with the
District and City. If the contracts exceed the cost estimates contained in the construction plans
(including a contingency budget) previously approved by the District and the City, the JPO shall
eliminate or modify the proposed contracts in order that the contracts awarded do not exceed the costs
estimates contained in the construction plans previously approved by the District and the City. If the JPO
is unable to agree upon such contract elimination or modifications, the City shall so decide and the JPO
shall thereupon proceed with the Project as modified by the City. However, any such modification of the
Project by the City shall be subject to the following limitations:
(a) The City may not modify any of the District -only facilities referenced in Section 7.4
hereof without the District's consent;
(b) The City may not, without the District's consent, make Project modifications that would
adversely impact the District's instruction of students; and
-3-
(c) The City may not, without the District's consent, make Project modifications that would
adversely impact the health, safety, or security of District students or staff.
Any disputes regarding the application of (a), (b) or (c) above shall be resolved through the dispute
resolution process contained in Article 8 hereof.
6.3 The JPO will be the contracting party and will use ordinary and prudent efforts to require
that the Project is constructed in compliance with approved plans and specifications and completed'with
all reasonable promptness in accordance with the schedule prepared by the architect. During
construction, representatives of the City will be given access to the construction site at all reasonable
times.
6.4 The JPO must notify the City and the District of all change orders and must obtain the
Distri ct's and the City's written authorization before approving any change order which increases the
cost of any individual construction contract for the Project by more than 10% of the original amount
thereof or which materially changes the scope of the Project, or a subproject. However, prior written
authorization is not necessary if the charge order presents imminent health/safety issues making prior
authorization impactical. In such cases, the change order shall be.seasonably presented to the City and
District for ratification. The City or the District must not. unreasonably withhold its consent to change
orders resulting from unforeseen circumstances arising from the construction.
7. PAYMENT OF COSTS OF PROJECT
7.1 The District and the City have agreed that the City shall pay all of the costs of the
election to be held by the.City for the issuance of general obligation bonds for the Project, that the
District shall pay the costs of the public opinion survey undertaken . with respect to the Project by
Decision Resources and that the District and the City shall each pay a portion of the Predesign Study. If
the general obligation bonds for the Project are issued by the City, the City will reimburse the District for
costs paid by the District for the public opinion survey and for the Predesign Study. Except as provided
in Section 7.2 hereof, any costs incurred by the JPO prior to the issuance of the bonds will be borne
equally by the parties. The parties agree that with the exception of permits and inspection fees under
Section 5.1, no costs of District or City staff time will constitute Project costs.
7.2 If the general obligation bonds are authorized by the voters of the City the City will pay
the costs of the preparation by the project architects of the construction plans and specifications for the
Project, all costs related to obtaining all necessary permits and approvals for the Project, and all other
costs associated with the Project. If the City thereafter determines to not issue the bonds for the Project
the City shall nevertheless be liable for the payment of such Project costs which are incurred up to the
date the City notifies the District that it does not intend to issue the bonds for the Project.
7.3 Upon issuance of the bonds the City will pay to the JPO the portion thereof to be applied
to pay the cost of the Project, less (i) amounts to be applied to reimburse the City for Project costs
previously paid by the City, (ii) amounts to be paid by the City to the District to reimburse the District for
costs paid by the District for the public opinion survey and Predesign Study as provided in Section 7.1
hereof, and (iii) amounts to be applied to pay the costs of issuance of the bonds. The JPO shall deposit
the amounts paid to it by the City in a separate bookkeeping account and invest such amounts in
accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter I I8A, and such amounts together with investment income
-4-
thereon shall be applied by the JPO to pay costs of the Project (other than costs thereof to be paid with
moneys of the District as provided in Section 7.4 hereof). Upon completion of the Project and payment
of all costs thereof any amounts remaining in such account shall be paid to the City. Within 20 days of
the end of each calendar month the JPO shall provide a statement to the District and the City showing the
balance in such account and amounts paid from such account for the Project during the prior calendar
month.
7.4. A portion of the facilities to be constructed as part of the Project will be used by the
District and will not be available for City use, and costs of construction of such facilities may not be paid
from proceeds of the bonds issued by the City for the Project. Such facilities have presently been
identified to include space below the Concord Elementary School addition which is to be used as
classroom space by the District, space within the Community Center locker room area which will be
reserved for exclusive District use, Normandale playground improvements, and the health and safety
portion of Kuhlman Stadium. As design of the Project proceeds additional facilities to be constructed as
part of the Project that are not available for City use may be identified. _If reasonably possible, the
Project shall be bid so that the cost of these facilities is separately identified. If not possible to separately
identify the cost, the construction manager for the Project will make a determination of the allocable cost
of such District facilities, which shall include an allocation for construction of the space below the
Concord School addition, and furnish such determination to the District and the City for approval. If
such allocation is approved by the City and the District the District shall pay to the JPO such allocable
cost prior to the payment by the JPO of such costs. In addition, the District shall pay to the JPO
$ for costs of renovation of the bleachers at Kuhlman Field. Amounts paid by the District to
the JPO shall be separately accounted for by the JPO.
7.5 The parties recognize that the ultimate cost of the Project, despite the operation of
Articles 6.2 and 6.4 hereof, may exceed the Project Budget. The parties agree to share in the extra
expenses as follows: If the overall Project budget is exceeded, the JPO will analyze the nature of the cost
overrun and the reasons for the overrun. The JPO will proceed to develop a proposed allocation
apportioning the additional cost between the City and the District. This apportionment will be submitted
to the City and the District for approval. If not approved by both parties, the question of the allocation of
overruns shall be resolved by the dispute resolution process set forth in Article 8 hereof.
8. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
8.1 If a dispute arises between the District and the City regarding this agreement or if the
JPO is unable to reach a majority vote on any matter under its jurisdiction, the members of the Board
must promptly meet and attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the dispute.
8.2 If the parties have not negotiated a resolution of the dispute within 30 days after this
meeting, the District and the City may jointly select a. mediator to facilitate further discussion.
8.3 If a mediator is not used or if the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days
after first meeting with the selected mediator, the dispute will be submitted to binding arbitration before a
panel of three arbitrators in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration
Association, except that disputes involving an amount less than $25,000 will be submitted to a single
arbitrator.
572
8.4 The District and the City will equally share the costs of conducting any mediation or
arbitration, excluding each party's cost for preparation of its own case.
8.5 In addition to the dispute resolution, mechanisms contained in this section, each party
may seek specific performance of the other party's obligations under this agreement.
9. GROUND LEASE
9.1 The District shall lease to the JPO those District lands on which the Project components
will be built. The lease shall be for $1.00. The lease shall be for purposes of construction of the
facilities, reserving to the District all other uses. The lease(s) shall terminate on final completion of the
Project.
10. LIABILITY, INSURANCE'
10.1 The JPO will obtain sufficient insurance (in accordance with prevailing community
standards) to protect the parties' exposures to loss and liability during the time of facility construction.
This insurance and payment of any deductibles will be part of the cost of the Project.
10.2 Once the facility is constructed and occupied, the District will obtain sufficient property
and casualty insurance (in accordance with prevailing community standards) to cover the replacement
cost of the resulting facilities and its contents.
11. SALE OF FACILITY
11.1 In consideration of the contribution by the City for the capital costs of the Project, the
District agrees that it may not sell its interest in the resulting facilities, render them unusable or
unavailable for community use or materially alter the facilities until at least 30 years following
completion of the Project without the City's prior approval. Following the expiration of such 30 year
period the City shall have the option to acquire any of such facilities from the District for $1 if the
facilities are offered for sale by the District or abandoned by the District. This option to purchase the
facilities by the City if offered for sale by the District shall expire on the 40'h anniversary of the

which fluctuate from year to year as negotiated by union contract. As
outlined in Article III, the District may charge City- sponsored groups and
individual additional fees for activities scheduled on national, legal and
District holidays. The District agrees to make the swimming pools available
for City- sponsored events during the City priority times specified in a. above.

removal, and supervisory staff. It is the intent hereof that the District will absorb all costs of
operating the Dome that are not attributable to such City related offerings and programs. The

assigned to the Dome, utility costs and supplies necessary to operate the Dome.

such offerings and programs which rates shall be proportional to the time actually scheduled for
such offerings and programs. It is the intent hereof that the District will absorb all costs of
operating the pools that are not attributable to such City related offerings and programs. This
Agreement does not preclude the District from charging individuals a daily admission fee for use
of the pools when not used for City related offerings and programs. The hourly rate established
by the District shall be based upon the actual direct costs of personnel assigned to the pools,
utility costs and supplies necessary to operate the pools. The District may charge group and
individual holiday City- sponsored events additional fees for activities scheduled on national,
legal, and District holidays.

Background: Debra Ehret, a professional consultant, will present an
overview of the report entitled "Communities for All Ages" to the City Council.
She was hired in 1999 by R.P.C. (Research, Planning and Coordination — formerly
SHeRPA) of the Hennepin South Services Collaborative to conduct a year -long
study which involved focus groups and a series of dialogues on aging and
building life -cycle communities in Richfield and Edina. The study incorporates
the findings of recent work by the Minnesota Department of Human Services
Project 2030, which focused on how Minnesota should prepare for an aging
population and community transitions. The objectives of the "Communities for
All Ages" study are:
• To forecast trends and identify the role of local communities in addressing
issues
• To identify best practices nationwide in aging communities
• To engage residents in learning about trends
• To provide strategies and solutions to address community priorities
Each Council Member has the Executive Summary as well as the full report.
After Debra's presentation, she would welcome the opportunity for dialogue
and questions.

Introduction
Background
The so- called "baby boom" in the United States began in 1946. Large numbers of
babies were born just following WWII and the trend continued until about 1964.
There are now 76 million people who make up this generation, the largest generation
in history (Morgan, 1998). The sheer size of this group, along with increased
longevity, means the largest number of people to date will enter late life stages over
the next 30 years. These trends will likely change concepts of aging and realities of
life in old age over the next several decades.
The aging trend is significant within the State of Minnesota. Minnesota's population
is projected to be about 5.3 million in 2025, compared to 4.6 million in 1995, and
more than half of the population will be over age 40 (MN Planning, 1998). Minnesota
currently has 1.5 million baby boomers moving into the `older adult" age bracket
(usually considered over age 65) (MN Department of Human Services 1998). By
2030, 1.2 million persons, or one out of every four Minnesotans, will be over age 65,
compared to one out of eight today (MN Department of Human Services, 1998).
Another way to measure an aging population is by median age, which is the point
when half the people are older and half are younger. In 1995, the median age of
Minnesotans was 33.8, up from 32.5 in 1990 (MN Planning, 1998). By 2025, the
median age will be 41.3 (MN Planning, 1998). And, by 2025, people over age 65 will
outnumber youth for the first time in Minnesota's history (MN Planning, 1998).
Moreover, the number of Minnesotans age 85 and older is expected to increase from
75,700 in 1995 to 132,700 in 2025, an increase of 75 percent (MN Planning, 1998).
During 1997 and 1998, the Minnesota Department of Human Services, in partnership
with the Minnesota Board on Aging facilitated Project 2030, a study of these major
demographic changes and their implications for Minnesota. They also worked closely
with 26 major agencies in state government and the Twin Cities -based Citizens

League, which developed their own policy report in 1998 titled A New Wrinkle on
Aging. Through community forums, surveys, roundtables, and research, these
groups have worked to uncover trends and identify future themes.
Other demographic realities that these two reports predict include the following:
• In 2030, we will see a sharp rise in the dependency ratio. This ratio is the number
of dependents [elderly and children] compared to those of working age.
• By 2050, older women over age 85 will outnumber older men by 2 to 1.
• The number of older persons living alone in Minnesota will double by 2030.
• Income disparities and cultural and ethnic diversity will continue to increase for the
next several decades.
Based upon these demographic indicators, the vision that Project 2030 and its
partners have identified includes the following:
• Minnesota communities in 2030 will be truly livable for all age groups,
intergenerational and lifecycle in nature, offering choices that meet the needs of
their residents including older people.
• Communities will support older people living independently longer.
• Communities will offer a broad range of opportunities to their residents to build
social "connections."
Purpose of this Report
In 1998, key city leaders, staff, and volunteer citizens in Richfield and Edina indicated
a need for a comprehensive review of current issues for older adults. Further, they
emphasized a desire to plan effectively for the future needs of baby boomers. The
Hennepin South Services Collaborative, as their research and planning agency, was
asked to conduct this study, now known as Communities for All Ages.
The work of the aforementioned statewide groups serves as the basis of this local
study and the visions and other findings from Project 2030 and A New Wrinkle on
Aging are reflected in this report. In addition, nationwide literature and best practices
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
4
and resident input helped define the direction and recommendations in this report.
Thus, this report is an attempt to:
• Highlight the demographic and other changes taking place in Edina and Richfield.
• Understand the corresponding needs and preferences that accompany these
changes.
• Present successful ideas and innovations nationwide.
• Seek out and share the opinions and preferences of local residents.
• Recommend broad strategies for visioning and planning.
The Communities for All Ages study and this report are broken into three main areas:
physical infrastructure, social infrastructure, and community inclusion. City and
project leaders identified these areas at the outset and much of the material flowed
naturally. However, the themes in each section do overlap greatly and the
distinctions between sections cannot always be made clearly. Therefore, communities
cannot address any of these areas in isolation, but it may be helpful to categorize
them for planning purposes.
Within each of the three main areas, sub - categories serve to further describe specific
topics. Information on each topic is provided through the literature review,
community dialogue, and resident input sections. The end of each section has a list of
key themes that are written as action steps. Overall recommendations at the end of
the report offer suggestions for implementing the key themes. Several ideas or issues
in this report are already being addressed in some capacity in each city. Numerous
agencies and programs work diligently to meet senior needs and to create an inclusive
community environment. Although not all of their work is identified specifically here,
each city is encouraged to assess, support, and enhance existing resources as a first
step in future planning.
Throughout this report, the terms older adult, senior, and elderly are used
interchangeably. Generally, the age group includes those over age 65, but over age
55 is applicable in some cases. Age is also broken down to account for differences
between young old (65 -74), middle old (75 -84) and old old (over 85).

Focus Groups
rIj
Eight focus (or discussion) groups were held during May, June, and July of 2000 with
a total of 54 participants. Participants were recruited in each city via announcements
in local newspapers and flyers distributed through agencies such as senior centers,
adult day care, congregate dining sites, meals on wheels, home based chore services,
support groups, and faith institutions.
The discussion groups met one time each and lasted approximately two hours. The
facilitator asked 12 questions to stimulate discussion among group members. The
questions centered on the needs of older adults and caregivers in three main areas:
physical infrastructure, social infrastructure, and community inclusion. Participant
comments are listed in the resident input sections of this report. Additional questions
probed participants' ideas regarding contributions to community, informal support
networks, future predictions of need, and current perceptions of community. These
comments are summarized at the end of the report in the Local Perspectives section.
The list of questions is provided as an appendix to this report.
Participants were compensated with a gift certificate upon completion of the
discussion group and transportation to the group was provided when necessary and
feasible. Agency staff analyzed the focus group transcripts by reviewing all
comments, grouping them by theme, and selecting key quotes for illustration.
Participants met by city and were represented equally (27 participants from Richfield
and 27 from Edina). Six groups were conducted with older adults (over age 65) who
were not currently caregivers (although some had been in past years). Two groups
consisted of current caregivers, who care for either a parent or a spouse. Five women
gave their responses in written format because they were physically unable to attend
the group and one woman gave an individual interview due to language barriers. The
participants were predominantly female (45 total), but males were represented in
nearly every group and from each city (5 in Richfield and 4 in Edina). The participants
in each group were Caucasian, but one African American and one Latina woman gave
their input via written responses or individual interviews.

South Hennepin County in Context

State demographers project large changes in age demographics in Minnesota by the
year 2030, but communities such as Richfield and Edina will already be experiencing
significant shifts by 2010. The past four decades have already shown a consistent
increase in the elderly population of both Richfield and Edina. In Edina, the
percentage of seniors over age 65 increased from 6% in 1960 to 20% in 1990 and in
Richfield the increase went from 3% to 17% (South Hennepin Regional Planning
Agency, 1993). In 1990, the number of seniors in Richfield and Edina was roughly
equivalent to the number of youth ages 0 -17, an age group whose numbers declined
steadily over the same time period (South Hennepin Regional Planning Agency, 1993).
The results of the 2000 census will demonstrate more clearly the direction and degree
of demographic changes in the region.
In 1997, Hennepin County was home to 48% of the total older population (defined as
55 and older). The second closest county was Ramsey with only 23% in comparison.
Table 1 shows the breakdown among the seven counties in the metro area for 1997.

The overall number of seniors is not the only factor that determines the priorities for a
community whose population is aging, however. The distribution of seniors in various
age ranges also influences the planning needs. For example, if the older adult
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
E•5
population is concentrated in the over age 75 range, the community needs may be
more immediate and the number of seniors may eventually level off and be consistent
with other age groups. In Hennepin County, however, the largest group of "seniors"
falls in the 55 -64 category, making the aging trend more long -term and the planning
needs future - oriented as well as current (Wilder Research Center, 1999).
As shown below, people ages 55 -64 comprise 40 percent of the total older adult
population within Hennepin County. This means Hennepin County had 144 seniors ages
55 -64 per square mile in 1997 (Wilder Research Center, 1999).

Racial and Ethnic Diversity
Racial and ethnic diversity within the senior population of Hennepin County is
currently less varied than in any other previous generation. As shown in Table 3
below, there were 199,624 seniors (age 55 and older) living in Hennepin County in
1997 (Wilder Research Center, 1999) and the vast majority was Caucasian.

However, these demographics are predicted to change by the year 2025 for the State
of Minnesota as a whole. While the Caucasian population is only expected to increase
8 %, African Americans will increase +113 %, American Indian +51 %, Asian American
+104% and Hispanic (of any race) +248% (Minnesota Planning, 1994).
Life Expectancy and Gender Differences
In general, women live longer than men do and Minnesotans tend to live longer than
the average American (Wilder Research Center, 1999). Life expectancy for
Minnesotans in 1995 was approximately 80.8 years for females, down from 81.0
years, and 75.1 for males, up from 74.6 (MN Planning, 1997). Yet, because of the
continued gap in life expectancy between men and women and the tendency for men
to marry women younger than them, it is common to find more women living alone
than men at an older age. In 1998, approximately 72% of men age 65 and older
were married and living with their spouse, compared to only 41% of women the same
age (Wilder Research Center, 1999).
There are a number of reasons to anticipate an overall increase in life expectancy,
including higher education and income levels for most adults, which allows greater
options in healthcare, social services, and housing. Moreover, dramatic advances in
medical technology in the past few decades have increased length of years overall.
Thus, planning for overall increased life span, and paying particular attention to the
disparities in health effects, will be increasingly important in the future.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
Disability
10
Disabilities are usually classified into two groups. The first is activities of daily living,
such as basic self -care (bathing, grooming, etc.) (Wilder Research Center, 1999). The
second is instrumental activities of daily living such as cooking, housework, and
shopping (Wilder Research Center, 1999). Wilder Research Center estimates that
approximately 49,000 Twin Cities area seniors over age 65 have difficulty with one or
both types of daily activities (1999). Disability also rises sharply with age; it is more
than twice as common among those seniors or age 85 as it is among seniors ages 65
to 74 (Wilder Research Center, 1999). As a result, overall life expectancy increases
will mean more visibility of seniors with disabilities.
The effect of these changes is that communities will need cost - effective and locally
based alternatives for providing housing, quality care, and social services for various
levels and types of disabilities among older adults. In addition, the social,
recreational, and workforce needs of seniors with disabilities is essential to
maintaining community connection and preventing isolation.
Economic Status
Women, in particular, suffer economic hardships in old age, often because their
incomes continue to lag behind men. For example, older women's median income is
57% of older men's median income nationwide, $6,700 and $11,800 respectively
(Crawley, 1994). Moreover, the average Social Security benefit for women is 76% of
that for older men (Crawley, 1994). Racial and ethnic factors demonstrate even
greater disparities in income, particularly for women.
Family and Social Relationships
Family and social relationships usually become increasingly important as adults age.
Increasingly, older adults will have a spouse or a parent living with them that requires
their care at a much older age. Grandparents raising grandchildren is also
increasingly common and changes family dynamics, lifestyles, and roles for older
adults. For many older persons, health concerns, limits on mobility, and feelings of
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 11
loneliness or isolation encourage older persons to move nearer to their children and
grandchildren and may cause frequent transitions in later life.
There are interesting dichotomies present in family relationships. In 1960, 13 percent
of households consisted of a person living alone, but by 1998, the figure had almost
doubled, to 26 percent (New York Times, 2000). Living alone is most common among
older women, because women are more likely to be widowed and less likely to
remarry, leaving them to live alone for more years. -Social Security and the
accumulation of wealth also allow people to live alone longer in older adulthood. The
last several decades have shown a decrease in the number of elderly living with their
adult offspring (in the U.S., as well as other developed countries). Family breakdown,
geographic mobility, and attitudes toward the elderly as burdensome also contribute
to the phenomenon (Pillemer and Suitor, 1998).
Yet, even as families are farther apart geographically, there is evidence that family
ties remain strong. For example, in 1996, it was estimated that 76 percent of the
elderly population age 60 and older had children living within 30 minutes from them
(New York Times, 2000). Contact has been shown to remain steady over the decades
between adult children and parents. Since the early 1990's, the Health and
Retirement Study at the University of Michigan has traced adults age 50 and older,
revealing that parents and children are remaining connected as they age. Their study
showed that half of all households headed by a person age 65 or older are within 10
miles of a child and 20% have a child living with them (New York Times, 2000).
Paradoxically, in a rapidly changing society, relations within families may be seen as
the only truly stable and reliable relationships (Pillemer and Suitor, 1998).
Geographic Mobility
Demographic literature indicates trends in geographic mobility common throughout
the lifecycle. For example, mobility is concentrated in young adulthood, plateaus
during middle age, and then rises again during early retirement years and late in life
(Longino, 1998). Current seniors fit this profile and baby- boomers are also expected
to generally follow this trend, but with some important changes. For example,
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
12
although the key mobility stages may stay roughly the same, the sheer number of
baby boomers moving through life stages at the same time means the number of
older adults moving will also increase markedly.
Retirement migration, in particular, will be sensitive to the fluctuations in the number
of "entry level" retirees at one time. "Amenity migration" is a term used to describe
early retirees who travel to pleasant climates and recreational areas. This trend is
expected to surge with the senior -boom, particularly for those couples that had dual
careers and therefore may have greater retirement resources. Some of these seniors
will "migrate" only part of the year and others move permanently. In Minnesota, this
will likely mean retirees traveling throughout the seasons.
In contrast to this trend, however, the assisted living market will also mean more
seniors staying in one place and receiving a variety of services as they age. Frail
seniors tend to move closer to relatives, particularly children, and low- income seniors
will have less retirement resources to draw upon and thus be less geographically
mobile. And, as mentioned under family relationships, many older adults move back
to their former communities when they lose a spouse or experience problems for
which they seek support. These two contrasting trends in geographic mobilityy will be
visible simultaneously with the coming "senior- boom."

Literature and Best Practice Review
Community Design
13
The concept of suburbs emerged following WWII and they began to flourish in many
metropolitan areas of the country. Suburbs have often been deemed the safe haven
for families wishing to escape the real or perceived noise, crime, poverty, and
congestion in the inner city. Yet, families also wanted convenient access to the city
for employment, shopping, and recreation. As a result, businesses and other services
began to follow the population to the suburbs.
For example, in 1950, the Twin Cities Metropolitan area consisted of just four counties
(Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka, and Dakota). Today, there are 13 counties considered
"metropolitan" and seven of them are considered "core" (Adams and VanDrasek,
1998). Moreover, between 1990 -1997 alone, Hennepin, Ramsey and the five other
metropolitan core counties had a combined population increase of 27 percent (Adams
and VanDrasek, 1998). The 12 counties adjacent to the seven - county core grew by
13 percent in the same period (Adams and VanDrasek, 1998).
Today, the suburbs continue to push farther out from the inner cities of Minneapolis
and St. Paul and now consist of multiple "rings." Richfield and Edina are examples of
"inner- ring" suburbs while places such as Shakopee and Chanhassen are now "outer -
ring" suburbs. This type of "ring" development historically has not allowed long -term
planning, an integrated system of land use, and the capacity for life -cycle
communities that change with the needs of the population (Citizen's League, 1999).
This development also has some unfortunate negative affects on the inner city, such
as neglect, and also on suburbs closest to the inner city, known as "inner- ring" or
"first- ring" suburbs. Issues that were once considered primarily inner city problems,
such as crime, are having a presence in first -ring suburbs. First -ring suburbs also
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 14
experience increased traffic and congestion, landlocked housing, declining tax bases,
and fewer jobs as byproducts of the suburban era (Rapson and Morrish, 1997).
Moreover, policies such as mortgage- interest and property tax reductions, as well as
money spent on constructing new roads farther from the city, allow employers,
builders, and homeowners to build in open, un- urbanized, and even untouched land,
and bypass the older areas (Katz and Bradley, 1999). Although these policies were
not imagined as a coherent whole, they are impacting the health of cities and inner
ring suburbs, contributing to what is known as sprawl (Katz and Bradley, 1999).
First -ring suburbs are especially affected by these changes because they are also the
most rapidly aging sectors of metropolitan areas, including the Twin Cities (Wilder
Research Center, 1999). And, while suburbs were considered ideal for raising
children, they are less able to accommodate the housing and mobility needs of
residents as they age (Alliance for Transportation Research, 1995). The zoning in
suburban areas often separates land use into categories such as shopping centers and
office parks. The separation often results in forced dependence upon the automobile
(Alliance for Transportation Research, 1995). Transport in suburbs is also
complicated by subdivisions, streets accessible only by car, and lack of sidewalks or
bike lanes. Moreover, the housing models, particularly in newer suburbs, are often
large, multi - level, with yards that require greater upkeep and homes with large
heating bills (Rapson and Morrish, 1997). As a result, the aged, disabled, or those
otherwise restricted physically are often left feeling less independent and more
isolated than they need to be (Rapson and Morrish, 1997).
Key Components for Redesign in an existing community
According to the Design Center for American Urban Landscape (part of the College of
Landscape Architecture at the University of Minnesota), community or urban design
focuses on ways to build upon existing structures, assets, and investments. It also
strives to accommodate the changing needs and priorities of residents. In the case of
an aging population, the way a community designs its buildings, parks, housing,
shopping areas, and transport systems can impact the quality of life for its residents.
South Hennepin: Communities for AU Ages
15
For example, the League of Women Voters in Edina conducted Town Hall Meetings and
Surveys to ask residents about their community quality of life. Respondents gave
examples such as access, cleanliness, safety, green spaces, and sense of community
as important features (see website for complete responses). With those responses in
mind, some important areas to consider in the redesign of existing spaces include
connections, continuity, collaboration, and alignment (Seaver, Morrish, and Rapson,
1998).
Connections
A connection refers to the physical dimension of space design, such as the proximity
of services and having a way to access them. This may include creating multi -use
facilities, where different services (particularly those that complement one another)
share one building, or housing that is integrated with service or shopping facilities.
Continuity
Continuity means keeping a local identity intact and establishing a way of life that
suits the community. In a survey done by Met Council in 1992, senior residents said
they felt strongly about having a sense of place and community identity and that they
wanted to feel ownership of places such as senior and community centers.
Beyond that, continuity also means establishing or improving links with the inner city
and the outer suburbs to provide easy access and to ensure that cities like Edina and
Richfield are not hindered by their borders and their inner -ring location.
Collaboration
Collaboration in redesign means a combination of public, private, and non - profit
entities working together to create a community with specific design features while
also maximizing their own services, clientele, and missions. Government, social
service agencies, and private industry must all collaborate to meet the needs of
seniors in Richfield and Edina.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
Alignment
16
Alignment refers to the policy realm, where decisions made at local, state, and
regional levels affect each other. It is essential to monitor these decisions and ensure
that some policies do not negate or override the intended goals of another policy.
For example, when building new structures to accommodate business or housing
needs, communities need to consider the ramifications on the physical environment
surrounding that building. Alignment is also important among local communities so
that Edina, Richfield, and their neighboring communities will have policies that
complement one another and provide the continuity referred to above.
Recommended Design Tools
Policy Development
One useful mechanism for inner -ring suburbs is to redefine themselves as
"metropolitan towns" which implies an urban, thriving city with a small -town feel
(Nelson, 1998). Metropolitanism addresses a philosophy of not only where people live
but also how they live (Katz and Bradley, 1999). By creating a vision of a
metropolitan town, community consider the connections between the major city that
serves as the closest reference point for most people (e.g. Minneapolis), and the
actual town in which they live. Thus, rather than emphasizing a suburban existence,
communities embrace their role as supporting the inner city around which they live
(Katz and Bradley, 1999). For example, home -based businesses create revenue and
provide services, but operate at a local level and help keep people in the
neighborhood throughout the day. Local neighborhoods have found ways to aid these
businesses and both the community and individuals benefit (Nelson, 1998).
According to the Citizen League's Task Force Report, no single government tool has
had quite so large an effect on community design as zoning. Zoning not only
determines the use of every parcel of land, but also determines the relationship
between and among different uses and services (Citizen's League, 1997). Zoning
which allows for mixed land -use and ensures that services are located closer to
seniors' homes and within a walkable distance can provide benefits for older adults. In
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 17
Melbourne, Australia and cities in Maryland, Illinois, and California, zoning laws now
ensure that essential services and schools are within a walkable distance either from
the center of town or from each residential area. These techniques not only increase
access and functionality, but also safety and community interaction.
Incentives for residents are also effective in redesigning towns either physically or
socially. For example, 76 neighborhoods of Chicago, as well as other cities, now use
location- efficient mortgages (LEMs). This plan alters mortgage bankers' rules to
factor in money spent on transportation, so that a homebuyer who chooses a home
near mass transit or in an area that doesn't require daily driving will qualify for larger
mortgage loans (Brauer, 1999). This could benefit first -ring suburbs by providing
incentives to first -time homebuyers but also encouraging livable communities and
private sector participation in creating them.
Land Use and Street Design
Land use is often an important issue in inner -ring suburbs due to the limited space
available and past design features that are difficult to change. However, cities can be
proactive in monitoring new facilities and businesses to ensure access to bus routes,
sidewalks, or bike lanes, and parking for car - poolers or disabled drivers. These design
features primarily increase mobility, but can also improve community interaction and
physical fitness as well as reduce pollution.
Streets are also important areas to consider and many methods work to "calm" traffic
and encourage use, such as crosswalks, pedestrian malls, lowered curb heights where
appropriate and walkways over major thoroughfares. Well -lit streets are important
for safety, but pedestrian -level lighting also creates a warmer, more aesthetically
pleasing look. Communities can design streets with several principles in mind:
security, convenience, efficiency (of access), association, comfort, and welcome
(AARP, 1991).
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
Social Design
18
Apart from land use, social and communal aspects of community design also impact
seniors. The isolation and dependence felt by many older adults is often compounded
by physical spaces that limit their mobility and interaction. Older adults themselves
are often most helpful in bridging that gap through volunteer work, such as seniors
helping other seniors with chores, errands, or acting as an escort. This provides an
essential community function (transportation) and also benefits the seniors
personally. Local service delivery, informal transit and support networks, community
sector overlap, and proximity of caregivers all enhance social design.
Community Quality of Life
The quality of life for community members is an overarching theme to consider in
planning and redesigning. City officials and residents need to prioritize the factors
that influence the health and well being of community members, with a particular
focus on those members who are most vulnerable, including the elderly. There are
many ways to assess the quality of life, but the most important component is that the
issues are viewed through the eyes of the community members themselves and that
they are involved in the planning process. It is also important to recognize not only
"real" factors influencing quality of life (e.g. crime), but also contextual and
perceptual factors that influence beliefs about a community (e.g. perception of safety
for elderly). These subtle differences are important in addressing the root fears and
doubts of residents.
Transportation
Transportation is linked with community design features because design features
impact the availability of transit options. But, transit is also a distinct issue itself. A
general trend in the U.S. is to select one's residence based upon one set of criteria
(space, safety, ability to build, etc.) and the place of employment based upon other
criteria such as wages or opportunities (Adams and VanDrasek, 1998). Residents
then need a transportation system that links the two easily and efficiently on a daily
basis (Adams and VanDrasek, 1998). In the Twin Cities, this has primarily been the
automobile, and secondarily, bus transport. But, businesses often decide to move to
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
19
suburban areas to build larger complexes, but may leave employees without a means
of transit. As the boundaries of the metropolitan area continue to expand, there are
incentives for businesses and individuals to migrate from inner cities and first -ring
suburbs to second and third rings and subsequently expect transport to follow.
Unfortunately, these trends have several consequences. First, the capacity of our
roads to handle increased traffic is finite. The Metropolitan Council found that the
miles of congested freeway have increased from 72 miles in 1984 to 104 in 1994. By
the year 2020, it is expected to reach 220 miles. As roads to outer -ring suburbs
increase, it is difficult for inner -ring suburbs to continue thriving and avoid becoming
merely a throughway.
Second, each new bus route that is created to take employees to a second -ring
suburb may mean a lost bus route somewhere else, such as an inner -ring suburb.
Thus, it is only by encouraging the use of public transit that cities and residents can
also ensure that more options will be available to them for public transit. Third, if
employees are forced to (or choose to) commute longer distances to their place of
employment, many seniors who try to stay in the workforce longer may face
difficulties keeping their jobs and commuting on their own. By providing options for
work, recreation, services, and volunteerism within communities, cities encourage
local activism but also provide opportunities for their own residents.
Senior Transport
Transportation for seniors also presents unique challenges within overall
transportation issues. Older adults may be less physically mobile; thus transport has
an enormous influence on the quality of life when it means access to providers,
caregivers, and social activities. In 1995, several agencies issued a report to the
White House Conference on Aging suggesting resolutions to provide improved access
to transit and efficiency of services for the elderly and disabled, including:
• Promote access to transportation as essential to quality of life.
• Encourage flexibility in funding to research and develop model programs.
• Appoint older and disabled persons to decision - making boards.
• Promote public - private partnerships.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 20
• Require coordination of all publicly supported transit services.
• Assist organizations in providing volunteer drivers and broaden the Good
Samaritan Act to include volunteer drivers to protect them from liability.
Unfortunately, the traditional public transportation systems, such as buses, are not
always adequate resources for older adults. They may run at limited hours or be
difficult for seniors to navigate. Seniors may have difficulty walking, boarding, or
waiting for the bus, particularly in winter. Yet, transit authorities face difficult
decisions when ridership is low and buses are expensive to run. As mentioned
previously, competing demands for bus service from outer -ring suburbs increase
pressure on existing resources.
Aside from public buses, many senior - specific transit options exist locally and
nationally. However, the agencies providing transport are often chronically under-
funded and lack both vehicles and drivers to escort seniors. In addition, seniors may
be adverse to van services that usually require advance notice, have restricted
operating times, and do not provide direct door -to -door service. Having lived most of
their lives with ready access to automobiles, many find it difficult to adjust to longer
waiting periods, calling ahead for transport, or shuttle services which may force them
to ride along with other passengers to their appointments. Education regarding the
realities of senior transport is essential to helping older adults adjust, as well as
offering personalized services wherever possible. Helping older adults realize that
services may not exist if they are underutilized is also important.
Duplication of services also exists in the senior transport industry. For example, two
inner -ring suburbs may each have different transit systems. Financial barriers,
restrictions on crossing city boundaries, and lack of cooperation may hinder efforts to
avoid duplication. In addition, transportation .needs are sometimes only considered
after programs and services are planned, causing gaps that are difficult to bridge after
the fact (Alliance for Transportation Research, 1995). According to a keynote speaker
at the Whitehouse Conference on Aging, better coordination of existing community
social services, and transportation planning is needed to ensure that older adults don't
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
21
have to leave their communities because of housing or transport issues (Alliance for
Transportation Research, 1995). Moreover, groups of people such as youth and
adults share a need for access to safe transportation to and from community activities
and service providers, and therefore could potentially share more transportation
resources (Weill and Grother, 1998 -99).
Sustainable Transport
A final issue to consider in transportation planning for an aging population is
sustainable transport. This refers to methods of transportation that can accommodate
changes in demographics, community structure, and physical space (land use).
Examples of sustainable transport include walking and cycling, as well as some public
transit. Individual automobiles are not considered sustainable because they will
eventually out -grow the capacity of the roads and infrastructure of a community.
Sustainable transport meets community needs for transportation, including the
physical, spatial, economic, and legal demands and requires educating residents,
businesses, and leaders.
In order to address sustainable transport effectively, the norms of a community and
intergenerational cooperation will also be important. In order to be a successful
"metropolitan town," the residents and policymakers must be committed to instituting
change on an individual and community level. Examples include older adults willing to
share rides with others, employee carpools, able- bodied individuals walking or biking,
cities sharing resources between generations, and everyone willing to reduce their
transport demands.
Housing
Many would agree that housing has a tremendous impact on an individual's health
and well being. It is particularly powerful for older persons, given the increased
occurrence of physical, mental, and sensory deficits as we age. Yet, many people
can also lead very full and independent lives with limited assistance given at the
appropriate time and place in their life. Therefore, housing for seniors is frequently
intertwined with health and social services, mobility, community involvement, and
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
22
community design. City officials, planners, and developers need to consider these
overlapping factors in planning the types of housing that is available for its residents.
Nationwide, approximately 82% of older Americans live in single family detached
homes, many of them in suburbs (Alliance for Transportation Research, 1995). But as
the range of housing options increases, many older adults are also finding suitable
alternatives to their single - family homes. In the Twin Cities, there are currently 670
senior housing facilities offering approximately 54,000 beds or units (Wilder Research
Center, 1999). Based upon growth projections in the older age brackets, the metro
area will need to add 62,000 new housing units in the next 25 years (Wilder Research
Center, 1999). This figure would only match the current ratio of housing units, and
much of the current senior housing stock will need substantial improvement by then
(Wilder Research Center, 1999). Thus, the metro area and inner -ring suburbs in
particular, will have to look at increasing and broadening the housing options for the
foreseeable future.
Affordability of housing is a concern for many Twin Cities seniors as well. The
standard definition of "affordable" is housing that does not exceed 30 percent of the
monthly gross income of a household (Wilder Research Center, 1999). By that
standard, half of all Twin Cities senior households cannot afford more than roughly
$600 per month for housing (Wilder Research Center, 1999). For single senior
women living alone, the median affordable rate drops to about $390 per month
(Wilder Research Center, 1999). Even with a subsidized apartment, the maximum
rate in 1999 was $556 for a one - person household, thus some individuals may not be
able to afford the housing currently available (Wilder Research Center, 1999).
Life -Cycle Housing
"Life- cycle" is an important concept for individuals and communities. Given the
choice, older adults usually prefer to "age in place" with as few disruptions to daily life
as possible. Even when neighborhoods deteriorate, change, or no longer meet their
needs, most people resist uprooting themselves. Individual homes must be adaptable
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 23
to changing needs and mobility of people as they age. That is; it must be
accommodated to their life cycle and their changing needs.
When older adults do move, it is usually for one of two broad reasons; either they
need to have more care or they prefer a different lifestyle. Many times, these
changes can be planned for in advance and seniors and their families can make
transitions easier when the time comes. Planning ahead for increased services can
also help seniors to "age in place" so that they do not need to move on short notice or
before they are mentally and physically prepared to do so.
For communities, the housing stock must also be lifecycle. That is, it must fit the
needs of residents at different income levels and stages in life, and offer the ability to
move from one type of housing to another as they age. If older adults decide to
move, their single - family homes are then made available to younger families or
individuals that are just entering the housing market. The housing is then "re-
cycled" within the community. In order for this process to work, however, sufficient
and varied housing stock must be available. Thus, communities must effectively plan
for wider housing options and adaptations of current housing stock. If this planning is
done effectively, it may lead to more "life- cycle" housing for the community and
provide benefits to seniors beyond their single - family homes. The lack of fit between
communities, independent housing, and older persons is a predominant concern.
Potential Challenges
One important housing challenge in aging communities is communicating the options
to seniors and ensuring that they are making good choices and getting their needs
met. This is particularly true for low- income, minority, and very old or frail seniors.
Some important reasons that older persons decide to leave their single family home
include home maintenance, poor health, death of a spouse, financial hardship, unsafe
neighborhoods, and poor transportation (Kaye, 1994). Most older persons have more
than one of the above needs simultaneously. They may be isolated or may also be
suffering from confusion, depression or abuse, any of which indicate a greater need
for care but less ability to make decisions independently (Kaye, 1994). Thus, if older
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 24
persons lack someone to advocate on their behalf, it is especially important to have
coordinated and integrated service delivery.
Certain segments of the senior population may be disadvantaged in gaining equal
housing opportunities. Preference given to wealthier seniors may affect those who
rely on Medicaid or Medicare payments, who are then forced to choose facilities with
fewer amenities. In addition, poor seniors may be more likely to already live in older
homes or buildings that are in need of repair. Discrimination in senior housing is also
a concern. In general, people who were marginalized in society at a younger age may
face barriers to independence and freedom as they age. Education and changing
norms are important as well as continued community building. A combination of laws,
policy, education, and changing norms can help ensure that diverse senior needs are
being met in the community.
Options for Senior Housing
There are many different types of housing available, some specifically for seniors.
Current trends indicate a growing demand for living facilities that offer services and
amenities geared specifically towards seniors, known as assisted living. The American
Association of Retired Persons and local agencies such as the Minnesota Health and
Housing Alliance and Senior Housing, Inc. provide resources for older adults and the
community on the options currently available for senior housing.
Assisted Living
Assisted living refers a service concept, as well as a facility or a "place." As a service
concept, it refers to a broad range of social and personal care services that can be
integrated into an individual's lifestyle to help maintain independence and self -
sufficiency (Barton, 1997). Assisted living first appeared in the United States in the
1980s, modeled on Dutch and Scandinavian systems of providing housing and
sheltered services to frail elderly (Barton, 1997). The majority of facilities are
freestanding, but they may also be part of a continuing -care retirement community,
seniors' apartments, or part of a nursing home (Barton, 1997). Most large multi-
South Hennepin: Communities for A/I Ages
25
facility providers are publicly held and managed as for - profit businesses and ninety
percent of assisted - living services are paid for with private funds (Barton, 1997).
Assisted living is becoming increasingly popular because it blends the service concepts
of a nursing home or other care facilities, but also allows for greater independence for
residents and the ability to remain in a familiar neighborhood and part of the
community. For example, many residents of assisted living facilities participate in
community events, churches, hobbies, volunteerism and shopping. Seniors are
encouraged to do as much as possible for themselves to maintain confidence and self -
sufficiency. Residents have options for services such as transportation, personal care
nurses, and housekeeping and meal programs on an as- needed basis.
The degree to which seniors need specialized care is reflected in the package that
they choose. Assisted living center packages range from very light care to a full
range of health - related and supportive services. Light care programs generally
consist of one to two meals per day, some assistance with daily living, housekeeping,
transportation, laundry, recreation, and emergency services. Residents who need a
service- intense program are provided with all of the services in the light care program
as well as a wide range of others; three meals plus snacks daily, multiple home care
services, medication administration and 24 -hour staffing. These benefits may be
included as part of the initial cost, or may be additional charges.
There is increasing demand for assisted - living services and facilities, and it is
expected to continue as baby boomers plan for the future and facilities become more
numerous with more amenities (Barton, 1997). Current customers tend to have
personal assets ranging from about $100,000 to nearly $300,000 and may spend
anywhere from $1000 to $4000 a month in the facilities (Barton, 1997). Although
there are many benefits to assisted living, affordability must still be a consideration if
it is to be truly accessible for a wide range of older adults.

Adult Foster Care
26
Adult foster care facilities are small, homelike settings usually serving no more than
five persons. They may be families providing adult foster care in their own homes or
organizations that provide round - the -clock staff. The Minnesota Department of
Human Services licenses individual homes and organizations. Foster care is often
suited to seniors with disabilities or with special needs, such as Alzheimer's or
dementia patients. Although this is not a cost - effective option for a large number of
seniors, it provides an excellent option for some people.
Condominiums and Town homes
In the Twin Cities, condominiums and town homes vary greatly in the way they are
designed. More importantly, many of these condominiums and town homes have
been newly designed to accommodate older residents, such as doorways built wider
than normal to enable wheelchairs to maneuver through them. Multi -level floor plans
are not favorable for those who want to stay there a long time and age in place.
Thus, residents are opting for fewer staircases and more square footage on a one or
two storied living quarter. Exterior care for these buildings is the responsibility of the
property management team; so not having to worry about these duties makes these
housing options very attractive for some.
Cooperatives
Residents in cooperatives buy a share in the worth of the entire building and pay a
monthly service fee that goes towards covering the costs of repairs, taxes,
maintenance, management and other costs. When the resident decides to sell his or
her "share ", they recapture their initial investment plus whatever dividend they have
earned through equity. This type of housing is easier for seniors who leave during
winter because their unit will be cared for in their absence, but it may not be
financially feasible for many older adults.
Nursing Homes
The number of elderly living in nursing homes in Minnesota increased from 45,000 to
47,000 during the 1980's, but this was much slower than the rate of increase of the
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
27
state's elderly population (Adams, VanDrasek, and Wyly, 1996). The number of elderly
increased from 11.8% in 1980 to 12.6% in 1990, representing 30,000 persons (Adams,
VanDrasek, and Wyly, 1996). In 1990, Hennepin County had the largest nursing home
population with 10,700 persons (Adams, VanDrasek, and Wyly, 1996). Yet, the
relative stability in the number of nursing home residents compared with the increasing
number of elderly suggests positive changes in health status or more diverse housing
options. In addition, a state moratorium on building nursing homes is limiting growth
and trends indicate nursing homes as short-term for rehabilitation purposes rather than
long -term living facilities (Adam, VanDrasek, and Wyly, 1996).
Nursing home care is sometimes viewed negatively because it symbolizes a stage in
life when we can no longer care for ourselves. With improved health and longevity,
and increased housing options, nursing homes may be the provider for those who are
too ill or do not have the financial resources to make other choices. Many nursing
homes, as well as other facilities, are working to create warm and comfortable living
spaces combined with social interaction and self -care whenever possible. For
example, older designs often resembled hospitals, but newer features include porches,
communal living areas, carpeted rooms, large yards with gardens or picnic areas,
non - industrial beds, and nursing stations set up in separate rooms rather than halls.
These features help to meet the varied physical and social needs of seniors.
Home Sharing /Congregate Housing
Co- housing models have benefits for individuals and communities. Sharing a home
encourages maximal use of limited space, interaction with others, sharing of other
goods and services (such as appliances, time for caregiving, meal provision). Co-
housing works well for seniors who enjoy independent living but also want the support
of others nearby. Older adults choose shared living for security, companionship,
reduced expenses, and the proximity of help if they need it. Many older persons
consider roommates as family, but they also enjoy sharing a home with peers.
For older persons who are able or choose to actually live with their own family, a
slightly different version of co- housing is the " "mother -in -law apartment" concept.
These additions onto an existing home, also known as ""granny flats" or ECHO housing
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 28
(Elder Cottage Housing Opportunity), provide independence and privacy, but also
proximity and intergenerational interaction (Kaye, 1994). This option also benefits
cities with limited building space and a need for turnover of single - family homes.
However, zoning codes in many cities do not permit granny flats and public attitudes
may discourage them (Kaye, 1994). It will take city leadership and education of
residents to make this option more feasible.
Other programs for home sharing seek to match older homeowners with younger
home seekers. Homeowners receive help with rent, household tasks, and
companionship, and home seekers find an alternative to rental units where they can
share responsibilities. This blend of practical and social needs is a good method of
promoting independence while also building community. However, Share -A -Home,
the Twin Cities version of this program closed their service as of July 31, 2000.
Reverse Mortgages
Reverse mortgages are a home loan that lets a homeowner convert the equity in
his /her home into cash (one form of what is more broadly known as Home Equity
Conversion programs) (Kaye, 1994). This can mean greater financial security for
seniors and can supplement social security income, pay medical expenses, and keep
their home in better condition. This can be useful for some seniors to help them
remain in their home. State law requires counseling for seniors prior to obtaining a
reverse mortgage and services are offered by agencies such as Senior Housing Inc.
and C.A.S.H. to ensure that seniors will not lose other types of financial assistance or
incur other problems by using a reverse mortgage (Clark, 1999).
Subsidized Housing
Elder residents on a fixed income or that meet certain criteria as determined by the
Federal Government are eligible for subsidized housing. Generally, the applicant must
be at least 62 years of age, and have an income that falls at or below a pre-
determined amount. Because of the demand for elderly subsidized housing in
Hennepin County, many of the complexes are now taking names for their waiting lists.
Current and future seniors often need to plan far in advance and get their names on
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
29
multiple waiting lists. As this demand increases with the senior boom, affordable and
subsidized housing options will need to be addressed by communities and local
priorities for affordable housing set within them.
Support services for staying in own home
Service- intense programs in the home include skilled nursing, assistance with
medications, and rehabilitation therapy. Assistance can also be for housekeeping and
yard work, transport, social contact, and social services. Energy assistance and
weatherization programs are also frequently offered to older residents in single - family
homes. Services such as Meals -on- Wheels or home - delivered groceries and
pharmaceuticals are very useful for maintaining independence and everyday needs of
seniors. Household and Outside Maintenance for Elderly (HOME) is an agency that
provides chore services in the region. In 1998, HOME served 880 clients in 729
households in South Hennepin County. As one of five programs operated by Senior
Community Services, HOME provides an essential service on a sliding -scale basis.
Awareness of Options
Regardless of the option ultimately chosen by individuals, communities need to ensure
that a wide range of options is available to meet the medical, social, financial, and
personal needs of its residents. Senior housing executives, in a nationwide survey
done in 1996, felt that only one -fourth (25 %) of seniors are sufficiently familiar with
housing options and only 14% of their adult children (Barton, 1997). Moreover, they
felt that only about 40% of social service referral agencies and hospital discharge
planners were adequately aware of options for their clients and patients (Barton,
1997). Thus, much can be done to increase the availability, affordability, and
accessibility of housing, as well as the awareness of the option and planning ahead to
make transitions easier.

Physical Infrastructure: Local Expertise
30
Speakers and participants at Community Dialogues #2 and #3 during October and
November 1999 highlighted other important issues regarding physical infrastructure in
their community. Bill Morrish and LeRae Finn discussed Design and Transportation
and Mike Weber and Bonnie Clark spoke on Housing.
Transportation and Design
In this country, we are very heavily dependent upon community design that focuses
on private homes and private transportation. For example, the average American
middle -class family spends 50% of their income on housing and 32% on
transportation, of which 19% is automobile - related, but only 12% on food (Morrish,
1999). In addition, each family spends an average of 33 1/z cents per mile to operate
their automobile(s) and each household generates an average of 10 -13 trips by
automobile a day (Morrish, 1999).
Thirty -two different types of households have been defined, including people living
alone, with young children, with teenage drivers, etc. Of these household types, 28%
have one person at home full -time with a responsibility of driving others (Morrish,
1999). Nationally, the cost of transportation has gone up one percent in recent years
(Morrish, 1999). Although the percent seems small, this represents a huge number in
terms of individual reliance on automobiles and private transit.
Examples of our community design and reliance on individual means of transport are
ubiquitous. For example, seniors have to call cabs to take them to appointments not
otherwise accessible by public transport or just to go across a busy street just to get
to a pharmacy that is not safely accessible by walking.
Community design can foster social desires such as a neighborhood feel with small
stores, coffee shops, and other non - urgent needs. Residents of communities
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 31
increasingly desire these neighborhood venues; yet, we demand that our other needs
be met by driving less than 20 minutes from our homes.
Transportation since the automobile has traditionally focused on moving cars and
increasing the capacity and efficiency of automobile transit. Today, however, other
models suggest moving people, not cars, and relying more on public and private
shared resources and self - propelled transit (Morrish, 1999).
Part of the shift in moving from automobile centered communities is in planning.
Cities need to plan, but so do individuals. We need to plan the places that we are
going to so that they are more user - friendly and accessible. For example, clusters of
buildings, services and shops, as well as mixed land use can encourage accessibility
by many people. In addition, models such as telecommuting and home -based activity
can reduce congestion and transit demands. Communities also need to plan for use of
transit by many different types of residents. For example, senior transit issues should
not be kept separate from all other transit issues (Morrish, 1999).
Increasingly, metropolitan communities are seeing that the " "ring" system, with a core
and suburbs around it, doesn't work well for transit needs. Communities in between,
such as Edina and Richfield, have to compete with traffic and resources with the inside
and outside of the ring as well as with adjacent cities (Morrish, 1999). Street design,
layouts, and zoning laws all impact the possibilities for effective transportation
between and within communities. Doing targeted projections for neighborhoods and
realizing possibilities for overlap, shared resources, and multiple functions is one way
communities can overcome some of these barriers.
For older adults, and those with few resources, transportation is an especially crucial
issue. The poverty rates for Edina and Richfield are 3.2% and 5.5% respectively, and
these represent residents who likely have no car and even limited ability to pay for
other modes of transportation (Finn, 1999). In addition, populations such as seniors
have special needs that are not often met by traditional vehicles such as automobile
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
32
ownership and buses. Therefore, services for senior transport need to be an integral
part of planning efforts.
There are several strategies for raising awareness and improving services, such as:
• Educate city officials and residents about transit systems, the options, and
the limits and capacity of current systems.
• Contact city officials to keep them apprised of senior needs.
• Use computers as sources of information and communication.
• Collaborate with numerous agencies.
• Network within communities including informal support, carpooling, helping
neighbors, and bartering.
• Promote volunteer driving by encouraging businesses to allow time off and
increasing informal support networks.
In order to facilitate transport as a method of social interaction, engineers and
planners also need to be educated on the desires of the community. That is; planning
for maximum capacity and efficiency may be useful in some cases, but the community
feel is equally important and must be verbalized to affect planning.
Transport not only increases mobility, but also reduces isolation, especially for
seniors. Communities need to encourage group discussion among citizens and in
schools, libraries, apartment buildings, businesses, and other places that rely on
community input and access. Agencies are also helpful in identifying populations with
special needs and helping cities plan accordingly.
Housing
The challenge in housing is to provide the right type of service (enough help when
needed but not more than they need so that it's wasteful) without uprooting people or
changing their lives in dramatic ways (Weber, 1999). We need to be able to escalate
the level of services as necessary, moving away from set packages to allow for
flexibility (e.g. a la carte) so people will get what they need when they need it
(Weber, 1999).
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
33
Implementing this as public policy is challenging, however. One difficulty with this
idea is the payment structure. It is difficult to pay for all the services that are needed
or there are restrictions due to geography (city boundaries) that make it difficult to
provide services comprehensively (Weber, 1999). Other services are geared toward
protecting the extremely low- income seniors, but not moderate - income seniors and
continuity of service is difficult with fluctuation in federal funding levels (Weber,
1999).
We need a single and simple funding mechanism that will be stable over time and will
provide a constant and consistent stream of funding (Weber, 1999). Part of providing
long -term funding is analyzing how money is currently spent (and wasted); such as in
packages that under or over - estimate the needs of the seniors. The money is already
there, but making it available in an efficient system is the challenge (Weber, 1999).
For a single funding system, we need to ask ourselves some questions:
• How much money as a society do we want to contribute?
• Are we contributing enough to it to fund it long -term?
• What funding is available?
• What services are currently available?
• Where are the funds coming from? (e.g. federal, state, county)
• What incentives can we give for the delivery system to collaborate?
• How can health care use money to complement the social service system?
The current distribution system is somewhat haphazard (e.g. people getting home
delivered meals but not home delivered groceries). Disparate service delivery arises
from different licensing, funding streams, and histories of agencies (Weber, 1999).
Advocacy for a good delivery system means merging agencies when necessary,
creating strong partnerships, and seeking common ground (Weber, 1999).
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
34
Other questions and comments by participants on housing include:
• Do most people really want to stay in their own single - family home or do they just
want a place that is within a certain neighborhood? Or that has enough room for
all of their things? Or that is close to services and caregivers?
• Are stigmas associated with senior housing preventing people from wanting to
move, more than any attachment to their current home?
• How generational is the desire to stay in the home? Will baby boomers (who move
more frequently now) feel as strongly about staying at home?
• How can we address the need for "last minute" accessible housing for those who
become ill or injured and are unable to stay at home or need rehabilitation? How
can we encourage people to plan for housing needs in the future?
• How can we get people out of their high -rises and senior living facilities and get
other generations in the community to visit them so that generations mingle and
seniors remain a vital part of the community?
City officials need to look carefully at non - profit and for - profit agencies providing
services and ensure a good balance and fair practices. Officials also need to monitor
developer practices (such as saying they will build senior housing that turns out to be
inaccessible for many seniors). Cities need to understand their role in getting interest
from developers to build or plan a community based on the needs of residents. In
this way, cities can determine what is needed and desired in the community
regardless of cost, or can let the market dictate the type of housing that will be built
(Weber, 1999). Cities also need to look at issues regionally and collaborate when
appropriate. Small communities cannot do it all or provide it all and sharing of
resources is essential.

Physical Infrastructure: Resident Input
35
During focus groups (also called discussion groups) with residents of Edina and
Richfield, questions were put to them regarding the physical, social, and inclusive
aspects of their community. The physical infrastructure, as other parts of this report
demonstrate, emphasizes public space and design, transportation, and housing. The
participants in the groups contributed many opinions and ideas in each area.
Richfield
Richfield participants indicated that housing is a priority issue for older adults. Many
people were pleased with the development of more senior housing (assisted living and
condominiums) in Richfield. And, those that live in these buildings expressed their
overall satisfaction with them, including the location, amenities, sense of community
and security, and the availability of transportation and social activities. One Richfield
resident described her living facility in this way " In the building where we live, people
are so helpful. If you can't get to the doctor, somebody is always willing to take you.
We have 12 floors, so about 150 units and I think we have very good cooperation
among the people who live there."
Yet, there were also some concerns expressed about housing in Richfield.
Affordability was a major concern, in all types of housing. The groups of people who
are "in the middle" (those who cannot afford luxury town homes or condominiums,
but also do not qualify for any housing assistance) seem to be most affected by costs
of living.
There is also some concern in Richfield about the concentration of senior housing.
Residents worry that too much clustering will lead to increased traffic and congestion
in the area, and a lack of green space for the residents to use nearby. In addition,
other residents expressed concern over tearing down single - family homes to build
condominiums. "Not everyone wants to live in a condo and when condos are for older
people, then families don't want to live in them (or the city) anymore."
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 36
There was little consensus among participants about the type of housing that is best
for older adults, and most agreed that a wide variety of options are needed. For
example, some residents prefer buildings that are for seniors only, but others like to
be in mixed generation buildings. Some residents would like more options for home
sharing or communal living. And many people feel that some seniors will want or
need to continue living in their own home and will need services available to them
there. When contemplating a move of any kind, residents appreciate the opportunity
to tour the potential buildings or facilities available to them in order to make an
informed decision and compare options.
Public space is also a concern for Richfield residents; particularly given the increase in
buildings and traffic that they feel is just beginning. During the winter, icy sidewalks
are a problem, especially in areas of concentrated senior living. "Many times that's
what keeps seniors from going out (icy sidewalks), not the cold weather." And at all
times of year, longer crosswalks are necessary to allow enough time for safe walking
in the city. Residents believe that if seniors are expected and encouraged to remain
independent and meet their own needs for shopping and services, they must be able
to do so safely and freely within a relatively short distance from their home.
Caregivers noted the absence of unisex bathrooms, large stalls for wheelchairs, and
grab bars in stalls at restaurants and stores, particularly those frequented by older
adults. As one participant noted, "If you are going to concentrate the living facilities,
then you have to concentrate the work" referring to the upkeep of public spaces. One
caregiver said " It would be helpful to have a brochure telling about the opportunities
open to people with dementia. The caregiver does not have time to find these, except
through trial and error. For example, where are the parks that are wheelchair
accessible? Where are unisex bathrooms ?" In addition, she would like "a safe,
special place to bring a patient to view a parade, fireworks, or band concert that is
accessible by wheelchair or automobile." In short, caregivers need assistance from
the community in accessing basic services as well as social activities for themselves
and those in their care.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 37
Transportation is the third area of physical infrastructure that participants discussed.
Again, Richfield residents expressed concern over congestion and traffic with new
buildings in the city. Many appreciate the van and shuttle services that are offered by
clinics, volunteer agencies, senior buildings, and the community center. They feel
that local transit is a priority, not only for appointments but also social engagements.
Some suggestions included:
• Park and ride stops within Richfield for those who can drive short distances, but
not on freeways or long distances. They could pick up other shuttle or transit
systems there. This is also appropriate for people who can drive, but cannot walk
long distances from their home to a bus stop.
• Waiting for transportation, such as Metromobility, is a problem for many seniors,
especially those with physical or mental disabilities. A local system that could
supplement Metromobility would be very useful.
• Some residents believe that church congregations could play a stronger role in
transporting people not only to services, but also to other appointments and
engagements.
• Some residents feel that light rail is a good idea because it will be easier, faster,
and more convenient than buses for older adults.
• Some suggested that the BE Line bus service in Bloomington and Edina be
expanded to include Richfield. Sharing resources could cut costs and it could be
financed through the gas tax.
Edina
Housing is also a primary concern for the Edina participants. Most stated the need for
a range of affordable options, including independent living, assisted, and nursing
homes. Residents feel that may of the options are priced out of their range or have
long leases, buy -ins, or other requirements that are prohibitive. As one resident
noted "Many seniors are on fixed incomes. If you have to pay a lot of money up front
and then after five months the person dies or has to move, it's not worth it."
Others say it is difficult to find housing at all. "We have been looking for a two
bedroom condo for a reasonable price for three years. It's very hard and one of the
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
38
reasons is that there seems to be a realtor in a facility and rather than put it on the
open market they just go to the manager. If you are the outsider, you can never get
in." Another woman expressed frustration with waiting "We have our name on the
waiting list for the new condos (part of the community center) and they said they
don't have any idea (how long it will be)."
Accessibility also surfaced repeatedly. They advocate for more one -level housing
options, with shorter hallways and more adaptability as needs change. For example
"We need more town home community housing for disabled seniors. In my current
building there are only 10 of the one -floor units. Senior buildings are nice, but not for
most of us." One resident talked about her satisfaction with retrofitting an existing
home. "We have a chair lift going up from the basement to the main floor and
everything is on one level. I call that my ticket to the outside world because it can be
pretty hard going up a flight of stairs." But a participant in the same group then said
" I have the other view. We were in our home 34 years. The stairs were 14 up and
12 down and I would almost cry it was so painful. We made the decision to get an
apartment and I am so thankful. We come into a warm garage and you don't have to
worry about slipping on the ice and you go up the elevator. It is the best thing we
have ever done."
And finally, participants in Edina discussed the need to change ordinances and zoning
requirements to allow add -ons to existing homes. Sharing homes with family or
building multi - family units is appealing to some because of the proximity, safety, and
companionship that would benefit them. One resident said "I have a friend who was
going to add on for his father and he found out that he couldn't do that. There are
ordinances that are going to have to be changed."
Public space is an area that many Edina participants have opinions about as well. Like
their counterparts in Richfield, they are concerned with traffic, pedestrian crosswalks
not being long enough, keeping sidewalks clean, and streetlights for safety in the
evenings. Others advocate for better access for those with disabilities. "We have
plenty of parks, but need many more handicapped spaces and ramps offering a way
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 39
to use them." Others stated the need for more benches with backs around lakes and
in parks (indoor and outdoor) for people who need to rest more.
When discussing the community center being built, one woman pointed out that they
were going to put in cobblestone for an aesthetic look but that it wouldn't work at all
for people with canes, wheelchairs, or just generally unsteady on their feet. In
addition, another person added "If you are going to have a community center, it has
to be where people can get there, where people live, and where most people would
go, in order for it to be active."
And finally, transportation is an important issue for Edina residents. For example,
"Transportation is a real problem. I cannot take a bus or taxi and have to rely on
VEAP or friends to take me to the doctor. We need more organizations to offer safe
and accessible transportation." Another woman with experience in transportation
issues noted, "In 1982, they said that the greatest need for seniors is transportation
and I don't see that much has changed." Another woman advocated for a
transportation coordinator for the city. "I think that's a pretty big one. To coordinate
the services would be helpful so that we don't just talk about it."
Generally, participants advocate for a private van or bus system within Edina that can
take them to appointments, volunteer, and social events. For example, those who
had experience with the BE Line service feel it is very good and would like it
expanded. One woman said that there is a senior bus that travels to non - medical
appointments within Edina. Although they have recently hired a driver, she said, "The
word doesn't seem to be out enough no matter how much we try."
In addition, participants advocate for better bus service with fewer transfers, both for
older adults and also for getting workers from the city to the suburbs to help them
(such as home healthcare providers). "I think public transportation is very important
and is really lacking in the whole area. When I was growing up, we could get on a
streetcar and go anywhere. Now you have to have a car."

halls, baths, and lowered cupboards /counters.
• Assist homeowners with retrofitting existing rambler -style homes when necessary.
• Ensure that parks, shopping areas, and other public spaces have adequate
handicapped parking, streetlights, long crosswalks, smooth surfaces, lowered
curbs, and safe paths for walking or wheelchairs.
• Create senior and community centers that:
■ are physically accessible.
■ offer programs for those who are less physically mobile.
■ offer transportation to activities.
• Provide complementary services existing in one place (one stop shopping).

spaces that are "disabled friendly" to help caregivers and older adults navigate
them.
Housing
• Involve older adults in planning and decision - making citywide.
• Determine the right level of service at the right time to avoid excessive moving
and disruptions for older adults.
• Offer increased services to allow aging in place, such as home maintenance or
buildings with amenities.
• Build a range of affordable options that includes: mixed - generation apartments,
condominiums, town homes, senior high- rises, assisted living, and skilled nursing
facilities.
• Reduce zoning barriers to home sharing or co- housing among generations, and
encourage and support these options among residents.
• Create community space within senior buildings to reduce isolation and enhance
community interaction.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 41
• Provide community assistance with planning for a future move, including:
• Guidance on housing options and tours
• Financial planning

Social Infrastructure:
Health, Caregiving, and Social Support
Literature and Best Practices
Health
Personal health and social support are two important issues for people as they age.
Maintaining and maximizing health while also finding support and services is a priority
for most seniors and often a challenge. One major social trend being brought about
by today's aging baby boomers is an extension of the healthy middle years. As one
author put it "pushing back the chronological age at which we consider a person old"
(Blanchette and Valcour, 1998). Moreover, baby boomers moving into senior age
brackets may redefine old age and basic concepts of personal and social health
(Blanchette and Valcour, 1998).
Undoubtedly, the senior boom will strain resources due to an increase in the number
of seniors, including those with disabilities and chronic conditions, and their needs for
housing, technology, and other health - related resources (Blanchette and Valcour,
1998). Yet, the senior boom will also produce healthier and more active seniors than
ever before, with demands for quality care, long -term care financing, and a stronger
role as a consumer of health services (Blanchette and Valcour, 1998). Moreover,
advances in technology and prevention will allow seniors to live healthier lives and
contribute to their communities in meaningful ways for longer periods. There is great
potential for baby boomers to help each other and provide a crucial link in the
voluntary sector by caring for their peers. Community leaders must balance the
health and social service needs of different seniors and help them maximize their
quality of life to remain an integral part of their communities.
Health Status
Determining future need for health care and social services depends upon an accurate
assessment of the current and future status of seniors. It is not easy to generalize
what the senior population will be like over the coming decades. However, trends
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 43
indicate that women will continue to be the majority of the older population (even
with a closing life expectancy gap) and growth will continue in independent living with
services (i.e. assisted living).
In addition to these health characteristics, the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (Kramarow et. al., 1999) identified key components of future health status:
• Life expectancy continues to increase for both men and women and the number of
"old old" (those 85+ years) continues to increase.
• Chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, and chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease are leading causes of death.
• Pneumonia and influenza are common illnesses /causes of death among seniors.
• Chronic conditions are prevalent in the elderly. In 1995, 79% of surveyed persons
age 70 and over had at least one chronic condition such as arthritis, hypertension,
or Diabetes.
• Visual and hearing impairments rise with age, from 13% and 26% respectively in
the age group 70 -74, to 31% and 49% respectively in those over age 85.
• Osteoporosis is common and is a strong predictor of subsequent fractures.
• Physical functioning and disability rates among older adults vary by age and sex.
Many have difficulty performing at least one activity of daily living such as bathing,
dressing, and cooking.
• Exercise rates are increasing in moderate activities such as walking, gardening,
and stretching. Yet, only 1/3 of persons achieve recommended levels of 30
minutes on most days of the week.
Disparities
Nationwide, there is growing concern regarding the disparities in health for minority
groups, including the elderly. For example, life expectancy for Black males showed an
increase in 1997 to 67.2 years, but that is still seven years less than for White males
(Kramarow, 1999). Females live longer on average, but there is still approximately
five years difference between White and Black females (Kramarow, 1999). Blacks and
other minorities are more likely to be adversely affected by chronic disease and
disabilities as they age. For example, the prevalence of diabetes among African
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
44
American is about 70% higher and for Hispanics about 50% higher than among white
Americans (CDC, 1999).
Numerous factors including socioeconomic level, education, language and literacy,
health beliefs, and cultural values all play a role in determining whether minority
elderly utilize health care services if they are available (Goldzweig, 1996). Lack of
transportation, health insurance, or culturally appropriate services also impacts use of
facilities and services (Goldzweig, 1996).
In Minnesota, the Metropolitan Area Agency on Aging has a planning committee to
establish services to minority elders. Their suggestions include: forums for sharing
strategies for data collection, building relationships, and alternative service design
ideas; cross - education with Special Access projects and mainstream providers;
translation of written materials and hiring culturally competent and bilingual service
providers; and metro -wide planning to establish minority service need areas.
Local Communities
Future debate on a national and state level will continue regarding the future of
Medicare and Medicaid, Social Security, prescription drugs, and other issues. Local
communities have a unique and important role to play as an intermediary between
national policy and personal decisions regarding health. Community leaders must
monitor policies, and safeguard access to health care and insurance. Cities must help
ensure a wide range of options for health care services and advocate for their
residents. In addition, working to alleviate disparities in health status is another
important role for communities. By acting as a resource for residents, communities
can serve their own ends by promoting healthier seniors in their community. Some
examples of issues to monitor include:
• Long -term care costs and access to long -term care insurance
• Underinsured and uninsured seniors
• Tax policies and incentives
• Viability of and access to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security
• Feasibility of other federal /state programs such as Minnesota Care
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
• Regulation and licensing of health care facilities
• Adequate provision and delivery of in -home services
• HMO access and affordability
• Housing and policies regarding institutionalization
• Technology and research (such as prescription drugs)
Spectrum of Services
45
Providing a wide range of health and social services for aging populations is a
challenge for many communities. It is difficult to provide all of the necessary services
without undue financial constraints, duplication of services, gaps in delivery systems,
and inconsistent access to and delivery of service among all members of the
community. As the number of seniors increases, their health status will be varied and
constantly changing. It is not practical for communities to think of seniors as a
homogenous group or to dichotomize the young and the old. Focusing on providing a
spectrum of services is more conducive to meeting community needs. A spectrum of
services includes:
• Wellness and prevention
• Independent living with light services such as housekeeping
• Assisted living with a range of services
• Skilled nursing facilities
• Home services such as block nurses
• Disability and chronic illness support
• Mental and emotional support for loneliness, depression, & isolation
• Protection against neglect and abuse by personal or professional caregivers
• Special needs services such as Alzheimer's or Dementia
• End of life support such as hospice care
• Assistance in monitoring costs and procedures for long -term and end of life care
Health Promotion and Prevention
In its Task Force Report, Baby Steps to 2030, the Citizen's League gives several
specific visions for the future of long -term care that emphasize prevention. One
vision is a shift toward "functional wellness" and improved quality of life for dependent
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
46
persons. A second vision is for more self -care and greater responsibility for
participation in maintaining one's own quality of life (e.g. seeking out resources and
opportunities for health promotion, not just medical care and services). A third vision
is that "people will be empowered to take responsibility for their own care having a
greater choice and access to a menu of flexible, individually - controlled services, rather
than the fixed, place -based service system of today."
The combination of new technology, expanded care options and delivery mechanisms
will create a broader, more flexible system for future seniors. This means that the
services may become more "customer driven" allowing people to select and control
the services they want, need and can afford. Strategies that can be used by
communities to engage seniors in more self- directed care include (Breckon, 1998):
• Respond to educational needs and provide multiple avenues for learning.
• Encourage learning that is self -paced and self - directed, including technology such
as the Internet to explore health issues and connect with other seniors.
• Do not assume all seniors understand associations between behaviors and health.
• Help identify obstacles to changing behaviors and encourage commitment.
• Design an action plan and monitor progress but do not direct learning or care.
• Provide role models in the community (seniors who exhibit healthy behaviors).
• Provide programs in various settings including traditional healthcare facilities,
nursing homes, and senior centers.
As part of outreach and education, examining assumptions about old age and health is
also important. For example, older people are generally less likely to smoke or abuse
alcohol and more likely to use seatbelts and other preventive measures than younger
adults. However, older adults also may minimize serious symptoms or neglect
prevention to safeguard health. Many older adults believe that strength, vigor, and
health decline with old age and that nothing can be done to prevent these changes.
Thus, they may feel that their symptoms are "nothing to worry about" and so do not
report them, or they may rely only on doctors to "cure" them rather than playing an
active role in caring for themselves.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
Technology and Self -Care
47
In 1997, the Spry Foundation (Setting Priorities for Retirement Years), working
collaboratively with federal government agencies, hosted 20 agency representatives
from around the country and trained them to teach older adults how to access health
care information on the Internet. The trainers conducted classes for 150 adults at
their local sites.
Through interviews and questionnaires with the older adults, they found that the
classes had a positive impact on older adults' confidence in using computers and the
Internet and in seeking out consumer health information online (Spry Foundation,
1998). They were also likely to share the information they found online with their
doctors and found they were more satisfied with their care when discussing it with
their doctors (Spry Foundation, 1998). Many of the older adults were more motivated
to search for information for family and friends as well and found the Internet a useful
way to stay in touch with the world and find new information. This pilot project is
being used to create new training programs to encourage more involvement in care
and health related decisions by older adults.
Physical Health
Physical health can be improved through early detection (screening), physical fitness
and nutrition, stress management, and safe environments and behaviors. Meaningful
interaction, social contact, and spirituality may also enhance mental and emotional
health. The community can play a role in both functions. For example, the Surgeon
General recommends community strategies to promote physical fitness (CDC, 1996).
• Provide community -based activities with aerobic, flexibility, and strengthening
components specifically designed for older adults.
• Encourage malls and other protected areas to provide safe places for walkers.
• Ensure that facilities providing programs for seniors are accessible and offer a wide
range of programs and activities.
• Provide transportation for older adults to parks, clubs, and recreational facilities.
• Encourage care providers to routinely talk to older adults about physical activity.
South Hennepin: Communities for Ali Ages 48
• Plan community activities that encourage seniors to be physically active (e.g.
intergenerational activities that involve walking and interacting in the community).
Aside from specific programs, social support from family and friends is a key element
of promoting physical fitness in the elderly and often having camaraderie makes the
difference in commitment to continued activity. Peer support is invaluable to seniors
who may relate better to peers than to health care professionals or even family
members. Peer support can also help reduce costs associated with hospitalization,
rehabilitation, and home care services by providing ongoing attention to the
individual, identifying potential problems, and encouraging self -care and prevention.
In one study of peer support for heart attack victims, it was found that the act of
giving care and attention to another senior is also extremely beneficial for the peer
advisors who have a new and important role in contributing to individuals and
communities (Robinson, et. al., 1998). In addition, the peer program was found to be
a success because it was a cost - effective way of offering a community -based model of
support (Robinson, et. al., 1998)
Other research suggests certain attributes of individuals make them more likely to
benefit from health promotion and wellness programs. Although demographics are
usually identified as contributors to health (such as marital status or income), one
study found that the older adults who had more control over their life had a greater
sense of well being (Fitch and Slivinske, 1988). The study offered health promotion
activities, which focused on stress management, nutrition, coping, self -care, physical
fitness, and spirituality. After the classes, real or perceived control over life decisions
and environment was the greatest indicator of well being (Fitch and Slivinkse, 1988).
Mental Health
As the preceding paragraph illustrates, emotional and mental health may also directly
impact physical health and quality of life as perceived by older adults. Unfortunately,
having good mental health throughout life does not ensure that seniors will not face
depression, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, anxiety disorders, or other mental health
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
49
problems late in life. Seniors may be less likely to report symptoms of mental health
issues either because they feel ashamed or because the symptoms are thought to be
part of the aging process (such as forgetfulness) (APA, 1992). Family members and
caregivers may also be hesitant to report signs and symptoms of mental illness.
Cultural norms may suggest that these illnesses are inevitable or untreatable (APA,
1992).
Therefore, communities need to be aware of and attuned to the mental health of
seniors. Informal networks and care providers, including neighbors, churches,
community groups, and care providers must help identify changes in seniors which
may indicate mental health issues. Moreover, communities must provide resources
for seniors and family members to overcome social stigmas, receive necessary
treatment, and ensure safe and healthy environments for seniors.
Disabilities and Chronic Illness or Conditions
As the number of seniors increases, so does the number of seniors living with
disabilities and chronic conditions such as Diabetes, hypertension, and arthritis. A
disability is defined as the "inability to perform at least one task of independent daily
living." Chronic disease is identified as "illnesses that are prolonged, do not resolve
spontaneously, and are rarely cured completely." These definitions encompass a wide
range of needs and limitations for seniors, but also imply varying degrees of
independence with the possibility for assistance in some areas of life.
As communities plan, it is essential to account for improvements in the prevention,
treatment, and services to those with disabilities or chronic conditions, but also the
skills, resources, and determination that many seniors have. Communities should
strive to provide appropriate levels of assistance without being overly protective or
restrictive. Being disabled does not mean unable.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
ITOJ
A recent study done by the Citizen's League, Seniors with Disabilities in 2030,
identifies seven priorities for communities:
• Gather comprehensive and up -to -date information on disabilities, including the
number, condition, and location of seniors and the type of services available
• Increased collaboration between sectors to better serve people with dual diagnosis.
• Emphasize chronic -care and deinstitutionalization of those with disabilities or
chronic conditions, including alternative care systems.
• Make services in the long -term care industry more widely available and accessible,
including training more formal staff and informal networks to work in long -term
care.
Understand and take into account the disproportionate number of minority seniors
who have chronic illnesses and females who have disability from falls.
• Work with agencies and health care providers to prevent chronic conditions and
disability and provide effective management after diagnosis.
In addition to these broad guidelines for helping communities and seniors with
disabilities, it is also important to explore the methods of care and treatment.
Maintaining and fostering independence and a sense of self - control is essential for
helping seniors remain integral parts of their community. Suggestions include:
• Identify ways to modify a person's environment to better suit their needs rather
than trying to provide assistance at all times.
• Give even frail older adults some responsibility and independence in caring for
themselves. They will feel in control and capable of mastering their environment.
• Protect seniors from further physical deterioration by encouraging movement when
possible and not restricting activities unnecessarily.
• Do not assume that falls, short-term disability, or side effects from medication are
just ""signs of old age." They may be remedied through adjustments and therapy.
Care giving
As the number of seniors increases in communities such as Edina and Richfield, so too
must the number of caregivers available to assist them with everything from light
daily chores to complicated health regimens to end of life issues. This poses a
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 51
concern because as the overall population ages, a projected labor shortage will mean
even fewer caregivers available to support the growing senior population. Nationally,
the demand for health aide positions is expected to increase in future years. But, in a
strong economy, many other positions are preferred because the wages are similar
and the work is often less demanding than caregiving.
Informal caregiving by family members will also change. With smaller families now
the norm, there are fewer children to care for aging parents or relatives. Moreover,
complex family structures such as remarriages, blended families, same -sex
partnerships, and late -life childbearing affect intergenerational relationships. To the
extent that the baby boom has altered concepts of the family, they will likely also
affect concepts of caregiving. Thus, creative approaches to caregiving and community
support should be identified now.
Recent National Long Term Care Surveys indicate that over seven million are informal
(i.e. spouses, adult children, or other relatives/ friends) caregivers (AOA, 1999). If
replaced by paid home care staff, the cost to our nation would be $45 -75 billion per
year (AOA, 1999). The great majority of caregivers are women, many of whom care
for both older parents and young children and also work outside their homes.
Anecdotal evidence indicates that primarily spouses and adult children act as
caregivers and many live with the person being cared for. Caregivers often report
that they do not receive outside assistance, that their responsibility interferes with
some aspect of their life and that they are simultaneously unsure if they can provide
adequate care (MN CYFC, 1989). This combination often means stress levels that
may affect the quality of care as well as caregiver's own health.
Caregiving is a challenging and draining task, for professionals or family members. It
is also difficult for many seniors to ask for and receive assistance from family, friends,
or professionals. Yet, the quality of life for many depends upon this connection and
the successful provision of care. Professional caregivers and family caregivers face
similar experiences and challenges. Communities can support caregivers in numerous
ways. Social support in the form of counseling and support groups prove invaluable
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
52
resources for sharing joys, fears, and frustrations of daily caregiving. Caregiver
support groups such as those offered by local associations and hospitals provide an
excellent mechanism for sharing advice and resources on caregiving and on other
matters such as finances or housing. Building a network of support is essential to
helping individuals cope and communities thrive.
Employers in a community have an important role to play in assisting with caregiving.
An increasing number of companies and agencies are providing opportunities for
flextime or job- sharing to help caregivers prioritize and balance responsibilities. The
Family Leave Act instituted nationally in 1993 also ensures at least some support for
caregivers that need to balance work and family responsibilities. Moreover, many
employers provide resources, support groups, and training programs for caregivers.
One example is Elder Ed Resources in Southern Minnesota, which recently developed
an educational series and curriculum called "Eldercare in the Workplace." Employers
use the training manual to help employees manage the stress associated with
balancing caregiving and employment.
An important resource for caregivers is respite care. Many times caregivers need a
short break in order to run errands, attend appointments, or get some relaxation.
Although respite care is currently available, it is costly through a professional service
and volunteer respite is usually quite limited in time available per caregiver. One
creative approach to respite caregiving is called "Seniors' Respite Service." A woman
in Texas developed the program when she could not afford and did not need the level
of service provided by licensed in -home health agencies, yet needed a reliable and
trained person to assist with light caregiving (CYFC, 1993). Thus, she created a
program that combines home health aides and volunteer companions into one.
The respite caregivers provide meal preparation, errands, light housekeeping, minimal
hygiene tasks, monitoring and assisting movement in clients, accompanying clients to
appointments, and companionship. To minimize risk, however, respite caregivers are
restricted from tasks such as lifting, feeding, or bathing the client and driving them in
a vehicle. The respite caregivers are trained and monitored by the agency and are
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 53
paid to encourage stability in the workforce. The program offers services on a sliding
scale fee basis and funding for the program has come from local government as well
as private donations and foundation grants. The approach has been very successful
and fills a much - needed void in the informal network. It combines the voluntary,
health, and social service sectors in a unique fashion while building community
capacity to help aging individuals and their families.
Social Support
Having knowledge and education or a healthy attitude is not sufficient to maintain
health or happiness as people age. Rather, supportive environments provide the
optimal conditions conducive to healthy lifestyles (Siebert, et. al, 1999). Social
relations are especially important for older adults because they are relatively
disadvantaged in maintaining and strengthening their integration (Young and
Glasgow, 1998). Thus, support networks should help people monitor the factors that
promote their health and reduce those that cause disparities.
Social support may be determined by the extent of a support network, the frequency
of interaction, and the content and quality of support (Siebert, et. al., 1999).
Although family members make up half or more of most individuals' social support
networks, there is evidence that peer and friend support is often more important to an
older adult's well being (Siebert, et. al., 1999). One reason is that as older adults rely
more heavily on family for their care, it may threaten their perception of their own
competence (Siebert, et. al., 1999).
Role identity is also critical to social support for older adults. As people move through
life stages, their identities as employees, parents, or spouses may be lost or changed
dramatically. Because we all identify and categorize people into social positions, older
adults often have to find new identities and roles in society in order to feel valued or
respected by others (Siebert, et. al, 1999). Friend and peer support may also be
important here to demonstrate continuity between the past and present and as a new
or continuing role identity (Siebert, et. al., 1999).

Thus, communities can support older adults by offering peer interaction and
opportunities for identity development. Moreover, helping older adults and their
families deal with change (in health status or physical environment) is important to
minimize the emotional challenges and disruption to family dynamics. The need for
social support will differ for each individual, but a community that fosters a positive
attitude toward aging and provides opportunities for identities will offer that support.
Senior Centers
Senior Centers offer a broad spectrum of social support services. Senior Center
development has been an integral part of the Older Americans Act (OAA) since 1965.
Nutrition and recreation were two of the initial services offered, but today senior
centers often provide more comprehensive social services. The OAA defines a
multipurpose senior center as "a community facility for the organization and delivery
of a broad spectrum of services including health, mental health, social, nutrition, and
educational services and recreational activity for older adults" (AOA/AgeNet, 1998).
Today, over 75% of senior centers are considered to be multipurpose compared to
just 30% 17 years ago (AOA/AgeNet, 1998). Because of their central role in
community support, Senior Centers should be a priority for communities and should
provide a communal place for seniors to congregate, receive information and
assistance, and network and socialize with their peers. Some examples of senior
center services include information and assistance, wellness and exercise, nutrition
and meals, transportation, volunteer opportunities, social and community action, arts,
and intergenerational activity.
Best Practices
Within the health care industry itself, there is a continuum of services that ranges
from in -home and foster care to assisted living and skilled nursing. Each of these
provides a different level of care and fills different needs for the community and
individual seniors. A community that has a balanced health care delivery system is
one that can meet needs but also adds to the community in important ways. Creative
programs that specifically target seniors at different points along the continuum have
proven to be effective.

The Living at Home /Block Nurse Program
UJ
The Living at Home /Block Nurse Program was created in St. Paul in 1987 to serve five
Minnesota neighborhoods organizing to help their seniors. After more than a decade,
the program has won numerous awards and now includes approximately 25 programs
in Minnesota (Mitchell, 2000). The Elderberry Institute, the educational and support
arm of Living at Home /Block Nurse Program, was created in 1997 to support and
expand the program nationwide. The Institute provides step -by -step education for
setting up programs, technical assistance and expertise, consultation and training,
and resources (Mitchell, 2000).
The program is an innovative community -based program model where neighbors help
older adults remain in their homes and communities. It draws upon the volunteer and
professional capabilities of local residents to provide needed information, coordination,
social support, nursing and other services to elderly who live nearby. The purpose of
the program is to establish neighborhood -based systems of service coordination and
delivery. It also demonstrates a model of long -term care and health promotion that
enhances the quality of life and offers cost - effective and inclusive methods of long-
term care delivery (Mitchell, 2000).
The spectrum of care provided by block nurses may include social contact and
arrangement for activities, simple home repairs and upkeep, respite care for family
caregivers, custodial services such as transportation and meal provision, and paying
bills. It can also include formal care such as needs assessment and care plans, health
education and wellness, management of chronic illness and disability, acute care
including therapy, skilled nursing, and home health aides (Mitchell, 2000).
For health services, the program provides or arranges for quality comprehensive
health and social services for seniors and can change to meet their needs over time.
Likewise, it also emphasizes health promotion, prevention, and management of
chronic conditions to improve quality of life, not just life extension. The program also
considers participants' functional abilities and resources so that the right amount of
services can be offered at the right time. And, because it provides such
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 56
comprehensive services, an individual's needs in different areas can be tracked and
coordinated more easily and efficiently.
According to Executive Director, Malcolm Mitchell, the principles of this program have
numerous benefits for both individuals and communities. For example, a sense of
community is fostered because residents govern and define the program themselves.
The program also recognizes elders as community resources and assets rather than
defining them as needy. It also fosters community commitment by involving a range
of agencies, groups, and individuals. Moreover, the Block Nurse program avoids
replicating services and utilizes existing agencies where appropriate. Finally, it
encourages expressions of friendship and caring in the neighborhood, promotes multi -
generational activities, and builds stronger, more resourceful and inclusive
communities with the ability to help themselves (Mitchell, 2000).
Parish Nurse
Similar to the Living at Home /Block Nurse program, the Parish Nurse program also
provides a community -based approach to healing and healthcare. Parish nurses,
which numbered a few hundred in the 1980s but now are more than 4000, work with
faith communities to deliver a holistic health care message (Whisnant, 1999). The
program addresses people's emotional and spiritual needs as well as physical, and
teaches them to care for themselves and each other to prevent disease and suffering.
The benefits of parish nursing include the ability to make home visits and listen to
family stories in an unrushed manner, making caregiving more personal (Whisnant,
1999). It is particularly helpful to those living in rural areas or otherwise isolated
from medical care. In this sense, the parish nurse also acts as an advocate and as a
liaison between the medical establishment and patients. Some parish nurses also
provide outreach and education, arrange classes for exercise and leisure, and organize
support groups.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
Hospice
57
Another innovative approach to health care is Hospice, which plays an important role
in caregiving at the end of life. Hospice is often misunderstood to be a place, but is
actually a concept and philosophy of care for those who are terminally ill. It is a
specialized health care service that focuses on maximizing the quality of the
remaining life of a person (MN Senior Federation, 1998). The approach recognizes
dying as a natural part of life and neither hastens nor postpones it. This program
shifts the focus from curing an illness or disease to providing comfort and support.
Hospice programs provide care to over 9,000 persons in Minnesota annually and
3,000 hospices serve 450,000 people nationally each year (MN Senior Federation,
1998). Most hospice participants live at home and are cared for there, but hospice
may also be offered in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or foster care
residences. Hospice may also provide support to caregivers. Program staff can teach
family members how to be involved in caregiving and offer emotional support and
grief counseling. Volunteers also assist with errands and provide companionship.
Medicare, Medical Assistance, and most private insurance companies and HMOs also
reimburse hospice programs.
Hospice, like the aforementioned programs, involves community members and
volunteers in caring for friends, neighbors, and relatives while also providing quality
health services (such as pain management). While technology is wholeheartedly
embraced in many facets of health care, hospice provides an alternative approach.
Hospice also recognizes different cultural values and beliefs that exist within
individuals and communities and offers care that is sensitive and responsive.
In its Task Force Report, Baby Steps to 2030, the Citizen's League identified changes
in how society views death and end of life issues as a key priority for long -term care.
They envision a newly designed long -term support system with public resources used
to enhance the quality of life rather than focusing exclusively on extending life. This
includes a shift toward health promotion and maintenance, but also away from acute
episodic care and short-term extension of life at or near the natural end of life.

Social Infrastructure: Local Expertise
58
At Community Dialogues #4 and #5 in January and February 2000, speakers from
Bloomington Public Health, Hennepin County, Mount Olivet Day Care, and Lutheran
Social Service shared their insights regarding important health and social support
issues. Karen Zeleznak, Sue Sheridan, and Lara Pratt spoke about Health and Anita
Raymond, Marit Kaltved, Ginny Cullen, John Pribyl and Mary Flynn discussed elements
of social support. Malcolm Mitchell of the Living at Home /Block Nurse Program also
spoke about that program, which can be found in this report under the best practices
of social infrastructure.
Health
The Community Health Services Plan 2000 -2003 for Edina, Bloomington, and Richfield
highlights some current issues in their communities for older adults, including a lack
of knowledge of community resources, lack of affordable and safe housing with
services, unclear roles among governmental sectors in protecting vulnerable adults,
and mental illness due to medication confusion or delayed diagnosis and treatment.
Prioritizing local issues is also partly determined by statewide goals for public health,
identified by the Minnesota Department of Health. In its report Healthy Minnesotans:
Public Health Improvement Goals 2004, the vision for Healthy Minnesotans is given as
"Healthy People in Healthy Communities -A Shared Responsibility" (MDH, 1998).
Healthy Minnesotans focuses broad community attention and inspires action toward
addressing the three priority areas of opportunity (assuring a foundation for health
protection, eliminating disparities in health status, and increasing years of healthy
life) and the 18 identified pubic health improvement goals (MDH, 1998).
Of the 18 identified goals, Goal 10 is to "Promote the well -being of the elderly, those
with disability, disease and /or chronic illness" (MDH, 1998). For the elderly in
general, this goal emphasizes promoting healthful aging through lifestyles and habits,
provide long -term care options, and improving ability to maintain activities of daily
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
59
living (MDH, 1998). For those with disability or chronic illness, the goal emphasizes
appropriate community services and comprehensive programs (MDH, 1998).
The Survey of the Health of Adults, the Population, and the Environment (SHAPE)
1998 report was developed and issued by the Hennepin County Community Health
Department and the Minneapolis Department of Health and Family Support with
support from the Minnesota Department of Health. According to the report, a primary
reason for conducting the SHAPE survey was to "provide data on the health status and
the determinants of health of adults in Hennepin County" and to assist planning,
programming and policy development efforts (Hennepin County, 1998). It is also
used to establish baseline data for geographic areas within Hennepin County and the
county as a whole to "measure changes in health indicators over time" (Hennepin
County, 1998).
This survey was done of 10,745 randomly selected adults over age 18, including
responses from 1,225 suburban Hennepin County seniors (Hennepin County, 1998).
Topic areas that were addressed in the survey included: community support and
social environment; chronic disease, disability, and injury; lifestyle and risk behavior;
health care; and physical and mental well being. In addition, specific geographic
areas within the county were surveyed and analyzed separately. Area 12 includes
Edina and Richfield, along with Bloomington, Eden Prairie, and Fort Snelling.
The area - specific report highlights important trends for residents of Edina and
Richfield (and other Area 12 residents). Important indicators include the following:
• 3.5% of residents receive home healthcare & 1.5% use assisted living services
• The most frequent chronic diseases in area 12 included hypertension (16.8 %),
high cholesterol (19.7 %), arthritis (15 %), chronic back pain (15.8 %) and
depression (8.5 %). Of these, the first four were all slightly higher than the
average for the rest of the county (due to a high number of seniors in this area)
• Only 3.5% of people age 65 or older in area 12 reported needing help with
personal care tasks such as bathing or eating, but 14% report a need for help with
daily chores.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 60
• 42% of residents in area 12 report moderate physical activity 5 -7 times per week,
but 13.8% report getting none and 19% report only 1 -2 days per week. For
vigorous physical activity, 48.9% of those surveyed get none during the week.
• 94.5% of residents in area 12 currently have health insurance (including
Medicare), but 10.3% also experienced some time in the past year where they did
not have insurance. About 10% of residents also said that at some time during
the past year, they thought they needed medical care, but could not get it due to
lack of insurance or inability to get an appointment.
The SHAPE Report also highlighted some trends in social support among area 12
residents. For example:
• 75% of residents agreed that "people could depend on each other in this
community" and 16% said they strongly agreed.
• 67% of residents said that living in this community gives them a secure feeling
and 75% agreed "people here know they can get help from the community if they
are in trouble."
• 14.9% of residents said that during the past four weeks they had accomplished
less than they would like as a result of their physical health and 13.4% were
limited in their activities. Percentages for mental health were smaller, but also
consistent, with 6.9% saying they accomplished less due to depression or anxiety
and 5.6% reporting restricting regular activities due to mental health.
• 47% of respondents reported having "a lot of energy" most of the time, but 7%
said only a little of the time. In contrast, 84% reported feeling sad none or only a
little of the time, while 12.5% said some of the time.
Another important issue that has recently come to light in Hennepin County is injury
among older adults (Pratt, 2000). Tripping, falling down steps, and getting out of bed
are unfortunately common sources of injury among the elderly, particularly women.
Between 1993 -97, Hennepin County found that 771 older adults died as a result of a
fall and during 1997, older adults were hospitalized 2,317 times in Hennepin County
as a result of a fall (Pratt, 2000).
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 61
Primary prevention, that is, preventing falls from happening, is the best solution. This
requires not only education on the part of the individual, but the creation of safe
environments, particularly because most falls occur at home (Pratt, 2000). This
includes individual homes, assisted living facilities, and health care facilities, as well as
grocery stores, buses, and all other places the elderly frequent. Some suggestions to
prevent injury and accident include:
• Use a comprehensive approach to prevention including medication management,
education, and home health and safety techniques
• Inspect environments regularly for hazards and risks, including appliances.
• Test for visual acuity and correcting impaired vision and hearing.
• Reduce alcohol consumption and other risky behaviors.
• Create safety checklists for residents and care givers to use regularly.
• Keep items within easy reach and clean up messes or potential hazards.
• Maintain physical activity levels to promote strength, coordination, and balance
(fear of falling leads to physical inactivity, which in turn increases risks of falling).
Social Support
Protecting vulnerable adults is an important social support. Older adults who suffer
from mental illnesses, are frail, have chronic or acute illnesses, or are disabled are
also particularly susceptible to abuse, neglect, and fraud. Protective services for
these adults are increasingly important elements of community senior services. A
National Elder Abuse Incidence Study released in 1998 estimated that at least one -
half million older persons (age 60 and over) in domestic settings were abused and /or
neglected during 1996 and that for every reported incident, approximately five go
unreported (Cyphers, 1999). Overall, the eldest seniors (age 80 +) were abused at
two to three times the rate of younger seniors and women were a disproportional
number of victims (Cyphers, 1999).
The Administration on Aging identifies three basic categories of elder abuse: domestic
(meaning in the home), institutional (such as nursing homes), and self - neglect. In
addition, they identify four common types of elder abuse:
• Physical: the infliction of pain or injury, including sexually molesting and
restraining
South Hennepin: Communities for Ali Ages 62
• Psychological: the infliction of mental anguish such as humiliating or threatening
• Financial: improper or illegal use of resources of an older person
• Neglect: failure to fulfill a care taking obligation such as abandoning or denial of
services (includes self - neglect)
Senior Resources Inc. is a locally based organization that provides protective services
to vulnerable adults. Two staff members serve 700 clients per year, including about
100 in- person assessments to determine need for services (Raymond, 2000). A
quarter of these adults have no other resource or alternative solutions and may need
a guardian or conservator assigned to them for protection (Raymond, 2000).
All professionals are required to report suspected maltreatment, but anyone may do
so if they see unusual behaviors. Family members are most likely to report abuse
(20% of cases), followed by hospital personnel (17 %), police and sheriffs (11 %), in-
home service providers (10 %), and friends and neighbors (9 %) (Cyphers, 1999).
However, the perpetrators of abuse are also most likely to be family members
including children (47 %), spouses (19 %), grandchildren (9 %), and siblings (6 %),
while service providers were only 4% of the reported perpetrators (Cyphers, 1999).
It is recommended that family members who are providing care receive the support
and counseling that they need, and that if possible, more than one family member
shares in the accountability for care and financial responsibility to prevent abuse.
Other important community initiatives to prevent abuse and protect older adults
include professional training to identify potential abuse situations, coordination among
service providers to ensure that no one slips through the cracks, technical assistance
in developing correct protocols and procedures, and public education including
outreach to seniors and caregivers.
There are, however, inadequate community resources to deal with the growing
number of vulnerable adults (Raymond, 2000). Financial management and banking
services are especially important for those who are middle to low income because
they generally do not qualify for public assistance but do not have private funds to
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
63
pay for financial services (Raymond, 2000). In addition, it is very difficult to use
volunteers for financial management because of the possibility for exploitation. Other
general challenges to serving vulnerable adults include lack of funding, not enough
recognition of the problem, and lack of collaboration among community sectors such
as social services, law enforcement, home healthcare, and families.
Intergenerational Programs
Intergenerational programs and activities also offer an innovative and important social
service to seniors. Programs that offer shared -sites and daily interaction between
generations, such as adult day care centers, nursing homes, or assisted living
facilities, may also house a child day care or nursery school on site. The Mount Olivet
Day Center in Richfield is one example of a shared site program (an adult day care
and child care). The program recently expanded its space to accommodate the need
and there is a waiting list for spaces in the children's daycare because of demand by
parents for intergenerational programs (Cullen and Kaltved, 2000).
Through this and other programs, different generations interact on a daily basis
through shared meals, arts and crafts activities, educational programs (such as
reading), and other informal interactions. Other programs place senior nutrition sites
within high schools so that the two groups share space and mealtimes on a regular
basis. Seniors may also speak in high schools on a variety of subjects and high school
students may teach computer skills to older adults interested in learning. Some
programs link seniors with children with special needs, such as homeless children
attending a HeadStart program and in particular need of one -on -one attention.
Intergenerational programs provide an important link for seniors to their community
and to a segment of the population that they may not otherwise interact with
regularly. These programs have been shown to be effective in reducing depression
and isolation among seniors, providing an outlet to contribute to community, and
increasing community involvement in other areas (Goyer, 1998 -99). Younger
generations also benefit from the attention, assistance, and affection shared with
them by the seniors, particularly kids who do not regularly interact with their own
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
64
grandparents. The programs and the community also benefit because these programs
can help save money and attract funding by sharing resources, training, and staff,
and offering collaboration and networking among social service agencies (Goyer,
1998 -99).
Foster Grandparent and Senior Companion Programs
Lutheran Social Service, a statewide service organization, contracts with 100 agencies
around Minnesota, including over 20 sites in Hennepin County for the Foster
Grandparent and Senior Companion Programs (Pribyl and Flynn, 2000). The Foster
Grandparent Program (FGP) has been in place for 35 years and Senior Companion for
25 years. FGP connects older adults with children in school and promotes mentoring
and friendship and SCP uses older adults to support homebound seniors.
The philosophy behind these programs is allowing retired older adults an opportunity
to give back to their community and serve their peers (Pribyl and Flynn, 2000). In
exchange for their weekly commitment, volunteers receive meal tickets,
transportation or reimbursement, and a small stipend. The program is especially
geared toward engaging limited income older adults.
The benefits of these programs are numerous, but in particular they are a cost -
effective method of identifying needy individuals and alleviating loneliness that may
lead to more frequent clinic visits than is necessary (Pribyl and Flynn, 2000). In
addition, these programs provide an effective way of informing seniors about
important issues or announcements in their communities, particularly regarding
resources that they may be eligible to receive or access. And, seniors who contribute
their time and energy benefit from the interaction with others as well.
South Hennepin: Communities for Ail Ages 65
Social Infrastructure: Resident Input
Social infrastructure was the second main theme for focus group participants.
Caregivers in particular discussed numerous aspects of health and social support for
themselves and the people they care for in the community. But all participants had
opinions, experiences, and suggestions for what works well and what could be
improved in their communities.
Richfield
Caregivers who currently use the services of Adult Day Care for their loved one had
positive things to say about the importance of respite care to them. According to one
participant "the day center (referring to Adult Day Care) has saved my life. I am able
to do a lot of work and to take care of other things and even get a little social life with
my friends." Another noted '"I could not keep my husband in our own home if I didn't
have adult day care. A caregiver needs space for paying bills, keeping up the home,
grocery shopping, meals, laundry, appointments and rest and relaxation."
Yet, there is also a need for respite care in other situations, such as evenings,
weekends, or for short-term stays in their own home, when day care is not available.
One woman noted "Our son took a month off of work to care for his father when I
needed surgery. I could not find suitable short term placement for him at the time."
Caregivers had mostly negative comments about home health services, both public
and private. They had concerns about the competence, dependability, and
trustworthiness of the workers who come into the home. They expressed a dire need
for affordable, available, and reliable home health care. However, some older adults
and caregivers have had good experiences with home health aides for short-term
rehabilitation or other specific needs.
Another need expressed by caregivers is for social interaction for their family
member. One caregiver indicated that as her main concern, given that she often
needs a break from their constant companionship, but there are few others available.
Another Richfield caregiver indicated " It (the day center) is better for him than
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 66
sitting in the chair all day, but I wish there was someplace he could go and chat with
some people. People are in different stages of their deterioration and some can hold
conversations but there isn't anyone to visit with them."
Maintaining the appropriate level of social contact for those in different stages of
illness or disease was also a concern. They expressed a need for a middle ground of
service options for those who cannot function entirely alone but are not completely
non- functional either. For example, many times Alzheimer's sufferers are all grouped
together when in fact they have different abilities at different stages of the disease.
Caregivers and others suggested more companion programs, such as friendship
programs through churches or people willing to make a phone call and simply listen.
Respite care could also be offered through churches, and might be a more safe and
reliable resource, according to caregivers present.
Aside from companionship and protection programs, care for those who are
homebound or living alone was a concern for many residents. For example, check -in
and alert systems are very important. Formal programs offered by hospitals or city
hall, senior buildings, or informal neighborhood systems are all useful for monitoring
older adults who live alone. Meal provision, groceries, health and safety checks,
chores and upkeep, and emergency services were also indicated as essential for those
living in the home. There is a real need for more volunteer drivers who can help take
people to appointments and even out for social occasions. Lack of transportation was
indicated as a barrier to interaction and health for older adults.
Education and awareness is also a primary need. Although many programs and
services already exist in the community, many older adults are not aware of them or
are afraid or hesitant to ask for help. Working to increase awareness as well as trust
and reliance upon these systems will increase their use and the benefits that people
derive from them. Richfield participants suggested a list of names of people available
for caregiving and chores in the home, such as through a pamphlet distributed by the
city or in the local newspaper. They also suggested more outreach by faith
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
67
institutions, including parish nurse programs, volunteer drivers, chores, and health
promotion and prevention in the home.
Aside from education and awareness, access is also important. Richfield participants
suggested some house calls by physicians might be appropriate again in the future,
and sliding scale fees for services are necessary for medical and other services.
Affordable counseling, either through churches or trained professionals is also desired,
particularly for caregivers. One woman said, "Not many friends want to hear what
you are going through caring for someone with dementia. Affordable counseling
would be helpful. The churches could be more understanding and trained in the
dementia issue. The disease goes on and on but the needs are forgotten."
Participants had mixed opinions about whether older adults should stay in their home.
One resident asked ""Who wants to go to a nursing home when you are mentally and
physically able to get around ?" Another indicated "We like our independent living in
our own home and we'd like whatever means we could to stay in our own home."
But, others express concern at people staying in the home too long. "What I've found
is people have stayed in their houses too long and all of a sudden you can't handle the
upkeep of a house. Then it gets to be too much of a job to even think about moving
because you have lived there for 30 -40 years, you have all this stuff, and it's
overwhelming. You feel sorry for them and you think (to yourself) this person
shouldn't be here."
Edina
Like Richfield residents, the provision of home services is also a primary issue for
Edina participants. Some suggested a greater role by non - traditional care providers in
the community, including businesses, larger grocery stores providing home delivered
groceries, and churches setting up volunteer networks. Service projects by youth in
the community (such as chores and yard work) would be another way to meet some
of the need in the community and alleviate the expense that many indicated as a
barrier to home care.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
Ii
Home healthcare is a related concern. Participants said, "We found the turnover to be
a problem. If you are going to have somebody give personal care and become a part
of your life, to have someone new every time is very traumatic and humiliating."
Another added, "We also looked into getting an aid, but it was impossible with
employment so high. It's the lowest job so nobody wants to do it, especially in the
suburbs. They either can't get there due to transportation or they don't want to."
Specific services that were mentioned include support groups with peers, especially
for depression or mental illness and counseling availability on weekends. Basic
nutrition and cooking classes for those who are in rehabilitation or are limited
physically, so that they can still care for themselves. Congregate dining sites that are
easily accessible for disabled individuals as well as culturally appropriate meals are
two other concerns. And, the need for companionship and "just talking" was
mentioned repeatedly as something older adults need and want but often lack.
Many Edina participants felt that good services and programs exist, but people are
unaware of them or have difficulty asking for help. They suggested a volunteer
referral system that would not only give people phone numbers, but would talk with
them about which one was most appropriate and would best meet their needs. A
senior column in the newspaper could also answer questions, provide information, and
raise awareness among older adults. Brochures and specific phone book sections for
seniors would also be helpful. And, a community- sponsored event or health fair could
also increase awareness. The emphasis would be to educate and prevent problems
through speakers and resource booths. Churches and agencies could be encouraged
to bring along someone who needs assistance or advice.
Lastly, one man suggested an advocate system for the elderly. "One part would be
medical. I think there are too many times that people do not get the proper medical
attention. They need someone to advocate for them. The other is quality of life. If
facilities don't have good meals, there should be an advocate that you can go to have
somebody independently come and evaluate it."

Community Inclusion:
Retirement Opportunities and the Workforce
Literature and Best Practices
Introduction
71
In early United States history, older persons rarely enjoyed "retirement" as we know
it today due to shorter lifespan and the need to keep working lifelong (Freedman,
2000). Most families in America relied on reciprocity between generations to carry on
family work and there was respect for the wisdom and experience of older persons
and their contributions to work and family. Moreover, during a time of low literacy,
older persons were viewed as the keepers of culture, guides for social values, and a
bridge between generations (Freedman, 2000).
Over time, particularly with religious and social movements such as the Great
Awakening, the image of older persons began to decline in American society. Youth
was embraced as a time for self- improvement and progress and older persons were
those who have missed their chance. Professionals and "authorities" on aging
documented the "decline" associated with aging and perpetuated beliefs in society
(Freedman, 2000). Even advocates for the elderly sometimes fostered images of
them as dependent and needy, but not as valuable contributors to society.
The industrial revolution also led to great independence between generations of
families and greater overall wealth and health for the masses. Slowly, policies such
as forced early retirement were developed and older workers were told they were
unable to keep up with industrialization (Freedman, 2000). Negative images of old
age also prevailed in the role models and stereotypes embraced by Americans over
the years. Policies and programs such as Social Security and the institutionalization
of sick elders reinforced these messages (Freedman, 2000).
However, after World War II, with growing affluence and increased longevity, the
elderly benefited from the programs enacted on their behalf and became a more
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 72
vibrant age group once again. What to do with those who were "too old to work but
too young to die" necessitated new roles for the elderly and thus began the pursuit of
leisure and consumption in old age (Freedman, 2000). It was during the 1960s that
the first retirement communities were developed and the idea of retirement and old
age as a time for leisure flourished (Freedman, 2000). Many older persons had
health, wealth, benefits such as Medicare and Social Security, and the time to spend
some years free from work to pursue leisure. With basic needs covered, these seniors
could expand their horizons (Freedman, 2000).
Today, however, many older persons have found the insulation and segregation
associated with retirement communities and leisure to be troubling. One concern is
that older persons may become less connected with society as a whole and may not
even be allowed to interact with other generations (as is the case in retirement
communities where children are barred). Moreover, many current and future seniors
question the limits of "activity." The idea of "staying busy" without meaningful
projects or interactions with community is limiting to some and does not provide
enough continuity with the identities developed earlier in life. Moving beyond leisure
and "endless weekends" to a more integral relationship with society is important for
seniors and younger generations with whom they interact (Freedman, 2000).
Retirement Options
Beyond retirement communities, there are many other retirement options. Two
concepts, "productive aging" and staying "vitally involved" in old age are shaping
current and future retirement options. A wide range of opportunities can
accommodate all different lifestyles, economic and social classes, and varying health
statuses. Some of these opportunities are described below.
Productive Aging and Vital Involvement
Productive aging and vital involvement both essentially mean staying connected with
the world outside oneself in meaningful ways. This involvement may include an
opportunity for self- improvement and continued learning. Or it may mean the
chance to continue lifelong work without the constraints of the traditional workplace.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
73
For some, it may be a chance to pursue a new passion, give back to those around
them, or to interact with other generations. For others, it means a more relaxed pace
in life and a chance to pursue inner - spirituality. Underlying this is a general desire on
the part of older persons to be respected and valued in their communities, whatever
their role may be.
Older persons can benefit from involvement by improved health, longer life
expectancy, and an increase in self- esteem and self -image that comes from renewed
engagement and new role development (Young and Glasgow, 1998). Meaningful
involvement also affirms identities, roles, and friendships among older persons and
helps to create a more cohesive generation. Older persons may also be able to live
more independently and make decisions for themselves when they are engaged in
their communities, beyond immediate surroundings. And, involvement can provide
structure to an otherwise unstructured day, creating purpose and a daily routine that
is useful for some people. The most important benefits are the relationships with
others, contributing, and being valued.
Communities and societies also benefit from the '"meaningful involvement" of seniors.
They contribute time, energy, and skills through volunteer or part-time work, offer
peer support in areas such as health or finance, and become community leaders and
advocates for change, reclaiming some of their lost status in society. Communities, in
turn, can provide a 'sense of identity and belonging, a measure of security, a
framework for shared values, support networks, and the experience of being needed"
(Generations Magazine, 1999).
However, the current social structures that define the expectations and opportunities
for older members of society have not kept pace with changes in lifestyle and
increased health and longevity (Henkin and Kingson, 1998 -99). There is a need today
for commitment by society to the continued physical, mental, and social development
of seniors.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
74
Future policy recommendations include an intergenerational vision of old age that is
built on an understanding of interdependence across the life course and recognition of
the contributions of all ages. It will require not just activities for seniors but an
increase in intergenerational programs, a replication and institutionalization of
successful programs, and expanded funding streams (Henkin and Kingson, 1998 -99).
And, it must include transforming our institutions to help manage these transitions. A
so- called resilient community is one that, although it is always breaking down, has
new opportunities to build the social fabric constantly emerging (Henkin and Kingson,
1998 -99). The task is to identify these new sources and cultivate them by creating
innovative social institutions.
The policy debate will also need to move away from conflict between generations over
limited resources. It is important to view aging as an opportunity to be seized (not as
a burden), and to recognize that public investment in older persons benefits all
residents (Freedman, 2000). In order to do this, communities must strategize to help
sub - groups feel a part of the whole society, engage in partnerships and collaboration,
increase opportunities that emphasize social connections, and educate others on the
value of elders.
There are many questions that will shape the baby boomers experience:
• Will they retire early or continue working for financial or personal reasons?
• How will they save and spend their money before and during old age?
• Will they move to retirement communities or remain in their own?
• Will genders have very different needs than in the past?
• What type of political, social, or economic activism will they pursue?
• Can retirement be transformed to channel productivity through socially
constructive pursuits for older adults?
• How can a society more actively educate youth and middle -aged adults about
aging and help people create a vision for them in old age?

Volunteerism
75
During older adulthood, some people have more time and financial resources (or
fewer expenses) to dedicate to volunteerism. According to the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services, 45 million Americans volunteer their time annually (AOA,
1999). Nearly 15 million older adults, almost half of those over aged 65, are among
them (AOA, 1999). Volunteering provides numerous benefits to the individual such as
structure in daily life, new identity, and a sense of purpose for older adults who are no
longer active employees, supervisors, or parents (Bradley, 1999 -00).
Interviews with older volunteers indicate the number one reason for volunteering was
being asked (Wofford, 1998 -99). Future recruitment of volunteers will need to be
diverse in order to invite participation. It will also need to be flexible enough to
accommodate busy schedules, part-time jobs, or phased retirement. Volunteers
indicated that their decision to volunteer also depends upon their principles, such as
expectations toward community service, their attachment to community, social
conditions that demonstrate a need for volunteers, and their own social status
(Bradley, 1999 -00). Many older adults prefer to volunteer for specific causes,
particularly personal ones, and with high status organizations that have quality
programs and are visible in the community (Bradley, 1999 -00).
In order to keep these volunteers, organizations need to match them with appropriate
tasks, provide feedback, give clear expectations, offer important, challenging, and
interesting jobs and provide opportunities for friendship and social contact. Moreover,
new volunteers also need training and time for learning new tasks and forming role
identities through classes, self- directed learning or practical experience.
The Administration on Aging (AOA) indicates that 500,000 Americans volunteer their
time annually and many are older adults (AOA, 1999). The Corporation for National
Service works to promote volunteerism while empowering and catalyzing change
among retirees (AOA, 1999). They have overseen several long- standing programs
nationwide since the 1960s including well -known programs such as Foster
Grandparents, Retired Senior Volunteer Programs (RSVP), and Senior Companion
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 76
Program (AOA, OF 1999). The National Retired Volunteer Coalition (NRVC) was
formed in Minneapolis in 1977. Since its inception, it has helped create about 100
Corporate Retiree Volunteer Programs for business, health care, universities, and
municipalities done under the name of the corporation (AOA, 1999). The result is that
the community gains experienced and dedicated volunteers, the retirees feel a sense
of value to the company and community, and the company gets recognition as well.
Intergenerational Activities
Community -based intergenerational programs are beneficial for numerous reasons.
They help to identify a need that exists in the community and then find ways to meet
it through mutually beneficial programs (Kuehne, 1998 -99). An emerging
intergenerational model encourages young and old participants to serve side by side
to address unmet needs in their communities. For example, they may jointly prepare
and serve meals in a homeless shelter, clean up neighborhoods or do other
environmental projects, or coordinate book drives, etc. This model is a vehicle for
strengthening relationships among those involved, but it also acts as a catalyst for
social change and a mechanism through which to engage individuals and raise
awareness (Wofford, 1998 -99). Other approaches use young people as escorts for
older adults on errands, offer language exchange between young and old of different
cultural backgrounds, integrate ages in community education and other classroom
settings, or shared homes.
One specific example of intergenerational programming is the Hope for Children
Project in Illinois. This program provides housing and support for foster families in a
planned community (Hopping and Eheart, 1998 -99). The foster families and children
live in homes in the community and share mutual support, but there are also nearly
50 rental units for older adults in the community. These rental units are offered at a
discounted rate for those who are willing to provide six hours per week to individual
children or to the overall project. This is a highly integrated program that involves a
delivery of services, but also integrates the intergenerational activity and relations
into everyday life (Hopping and Eheart, 1998 -99).
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 77
Intergenerational programs can also lead to change in social institutions, including
employment, civic life, and family institutions. And new programs such as the 2030
Center (established in 1997) and websites such as LinkAge (www.linkacie.com) create
endeavors that establish common ground between generations and encourage
listening, education, and understanding.
Spirituality and Activism
Besides the time spent volunteering and pursuing leisure activity, many older adults
also remain active or increase their participation in community through leadership,
activism, and spiritual or religious practices. Like volunteerism, these activities and
roles give many older adults a sense of purpose and meaning, as well as creating
structure and new identity outside of work and family.
Future predictions about baby boomer activism are difficult to make, given the
diversity of experience and opinion that exists within a large group. Debates over
federal policies, such as Social Security, Medicare, and prescription drugs, will likely
continue, but many older adults will be active on the local level through community -
based organizations and churches. In addition, a backlash to taxes and spending on
younger generations, such as for school districts, is possible, although many will no
doubt also continue to support education and youth needs. In general, vigorous
forms of political involvement tend to decline late in life, but more passive forms
persist into old age (Williamson, 1998). These forms include voting and contacting
public officials, as well as so- called "checkbook activism." By supporting organizations
financially, older adults also shape the public and political arenas, particularly as
future older adults will be more linked via email and the Internet.
Faith institutions are also an important part of many older adults' lives. Increased
support from congregational leaders and members is common among older adults. In
addition, spiritual or religious beliefs have been found to help older adults cope with
illness and resist depression. In a study of 850 men over age 65 who were admitted
to medical services, one of five patients reported religious thought or activity as "the
most important thing that keeps me going" (CYFC, 1993). Many congregations are
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 78
also finding ways to reach out to older populations and keep them engaged. Changes
such as large print bulletins and amplifier headsets help older adults remain active in
services. Participation in choir or church leadership is also important for tapping the
experience of older adults and motivating them to stay connected to other
congregation members and to their spiritual leaders, particularly at difficult times.
For some, a personal sense of spirituality beyond or in place of a faith institution is
important. Many older adults cherish old age as a time to cast off obligations, worldly
objects, and disengage from many daily activities (Leder, 1999 -00). Developing a
more personal and introspective spiritual life can also be helpful to the aging process
(Leder, 1999 -00). Places such as the Spiritual Eldering Institute offer a place to age
with reflection through workshops, services, exercises, and meditation. Older adults
can foster their own spiritual development and intertwine it with community service
(Leder 1999 -00). Another program, Jubilados, offers education and empowerment as
well as an opportunity for shared living in a spiritual community. This model also
addresses the physical needs of older adults and the desire for social contact and
mental stimulation as they age (Leder, 1999 -00).
Individuals may also differ in the ways that they " "make sense" of their world and the
ways that they understand and experience aging. Likewise, youth of various cultures
may also treat old age differently and have different expectations about how they will
be treated during old age (e.g. as keepers of cultural traditions) (Leder, 1999 -00).
Communities can respond to the needs of various cultural groups by avoiding
generalizations and stereotypes of their older adult population, seeking to understand
and meet specific needs, and finding ways to bridge gaps in understanding across
cultures and groups in the community.
Continued Education
Education and learning opportunities for older adults abound. Older adults may
engage in formal classes, informal learning with peers or others, or use self- directed
learning methods. Many classes are designed especially for older adults, such as
computer classes, Elderhostel programs, or travel seminars. But stereotypes about
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
79
learning capabilities as well as access still make it difficult for some older adults to
participate. Therefore, communities need to continually integrate opportunities for
education and learning in their older adult populations.
Despite the popular belief that older adults are afraid to use computers, many relish
the opportunity to learn about them and use them in daily life. Through programs,
learning centers, and websites, older adults can learn and stay connected with the
outside world. It is especially helpful for those who are disabled, frail, or homebound.
Some older adults even extend their social networks online by connecting with peers
nationwide or worldwide and discussing topics of interest and importance to them. As
topics such as Social Security and Medicare pervade the Internet discussion, more
seniors are becoming engaged in community and nationwide debates and using
computers as tools for information gathering and social change. Education on the
Internet also offers a way to tap into older adult's knowledge and experience. One
program, Circle of Learning, encourages older adults to offer courses online based on
their own lifetime experience (such as hobbies, finances, travel, etc.).
For whatever purpose, having an opportunity to interact online seems to help many
older adults overcome boredom, isolation, helplessness, and the decline of cognitive
skills over time. Programs such as LinkingAges teach skills on computer use in nursing
homes, with the goal of helping older adults learn, maintain communication with loved
ones far away, and create a learning environment with peers in the nursing home.
Self- directed learning is probably most common, and most overlooked, form of
education by older adults. Many people engage in activities that help them learn new
things or answer questions on their own. Independent learning projects are a
response to the learner's own interests, needs, and lifestyle. The individual sets the
goals, decides the resources, gauges the learning tasks and decides when learning is
complete. Often, self - directed learning begins with a question or problem, frequently
triggered by an event or change in a person's life. Older adults may rely upon books,
magazines, instructional manuals, and the Internet, but they often also rely upon the
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
:/
friends, neighbors, teachers, mentors, and tutors to help guide the learning process.
Continued learning is important for social contact and as a mechanism for staying
involved in communities.
Some suggestions emerge for communities in order to foster continued education
among older adults:
• Help teachers at all levels learn to encourage learning as a self- initiated process so
that people know how to engage in lifelong learning.
• Encourage libraries to provide assistance as well as material that older adults need
and seek.
• Set up local information networks, resources, and outreach to older adults so that
they know what is available to them and how they can access it.
• Set up senior center within school or libraries in order to encourage
intergenerational learning and lifelong education.
Workforce
Currently, Minnesota has a higher proportion of employed people than other states
and the vast majority of Minnesotans are in the workforce (Benson, 2000). But some
important trends include the following:
• The labor force will grow more slowly as the population ages, fewer younger
people are available to enter the job market, and the birthrate continues to decline
(Benson, 2000).
• The proportion of workers age 55 and older will grow at a rapid pace leading to an
overall aging trend in the workforce. For example, in 1995, those in their prime
working years (20 -54) represented 50 percent of the population; but will represent
only 44 percent by 2020 (Benson, 2000).
• The labor force will become more racially and ethnically diverse and include more
women (Benson, 2000).
These factors lead some to worry about the future of the workforce and to doubt
whether there will be enough workers not only to fill jobs but also provide the
necessary services. For example, many services that will be affected by the labor
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 81
shortage directly serve older adults, such as home health care workers. At the same
time, more people in retirement and fewer caregivers available will also strain families
and their ability to work and provide care simultaneously. Older adults living longer
and healthier lives with broader conceptions of retirement also impact future choices
and expectations of older adults in contemporary society.
Older adults may be affected positively by labor shortage trends, because it means
greater opportunity for those who need or want to remain in the workforce. Yet,
employers and communities must overcome some important barriers to fully realize
this potential. For example:
• Older workers should be thinking about what they want their lives to consist of in
the years ahead, including work, retirement, volunteering, or a mixture.
• Employers must understand how to make their organizations more flexible. This
includes options such as part-time, telecommuting, flextime, consulting or
contract, phased retirement through job sharing, and so- called bridge jobs which
allow for special assignments or projects.
• Current practices and incentives for early retirement may shift as employers work
to retain employees and offer benefits and incentives to stay in the workforce.
• Barriers such as discrimination and limited opportunities for advancement must be
solved so that older workers are not discouraged from updating skills or seeking
continued employment.
• Work that has been traditionally undervalued, such as homemaking, informal
caregiving, and volunteering will need to be compensated and recognized in order
to provide older people with additional avenues for supplementing income and to
meet basic needs in the community.
• Policymakers must be prepared to facilitate changes in education, retirement, and
health that are compatible with new work options.
Beyond the structural barriers, existing myths about the productivity and abilities of
older workers also pervade workplaces and communities. Assumptions about older
workers cause employers to be concerned about hiring or retaining them. For
example, it is common to assume that older workers are less productive or creative,
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
82
have more lost work time due to illness, are less flexible and adaptable, cannot learn
new skills, and find it hard to take orders from younger supervisors (Palmore, 1990).
These assumptions are largely false, however, as numerous surveys and studies have
shown nationwide, and much can be done to mitigate any negative impact on
employers. For example, relatively minor changes in the physical environment can
assist older workers and can allow them to continue their role in the workplace
without any difficulty (SAIF, 1995). Evaluating elements such as lighting, chairs and
desks, as well as paying attention to breaks, proper training, and wellness /health
education programs can all help older workers and prevent injury (SAIF, 1995).
Moreover, a written return -to -work program can also help facilitate the return of older
workers after an injury by placing them in lighter or less stressful positions
temporarily while they recover without causing them to lose pay or status with the
employer (SAIF, 1995). But, if an organization believes it will have a better image
with a young workforce, it will take additional steps to break down these barriers.
Discrimination is a fact of life in many organizations, many times without any intent to
do so. American organizational and societal cultures have developed stereotypes of
older adults that relate to the "natural course" of aging, which includes physical and
mental decline (Long, et. al., 1997). But as people live longer and healthier lives,
stereotypes are inaccurate and misleading. For example, according to Long , De]oy,
and Javidi, discrimination underlies the belief that:
• Older adults should retire to make room for younger workers.
• Most older people are pretty much the same.
• The job needs of older adults are vastly different from younger ones.
• Old age is a time for calm and stability, not for a fast -paced work environment.
Although these beliefs and resulting discriminatory practices exist, employers can take
many positive steps to reduce barriers in the workplace. For example, they can:
• Conduct research to examine the culture of the organization (e.g. attitudes of
employees and managers) and ensure that lead staff is committed to the success
of older workers (Steinhauser, 1998).
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
83
• Promote positive images and education on the contributions of older workers.
• Discuss aging and discrimination with other employers and within the workplace.
• Include older adults on diversity taskforces or other leadership committees.
• Review and revise existing policies, training programs, recruitment, and evaluation
to eliminate biased language and employment practices.
• Account for the portfolios of experience and soft skills that older workers bring, not
only the job history and technical skills (Long, et. al., 1995).
• Review and if necessary, rewrite mission statements to ensure inclusion of older
workers.
• Provide portable benefits for workers, particularly those in semi - retirement.
• Protect older workers from late -life job displacement, which is a factor for poverty
and severe income loss when older workers cannot find equivalent work and salary
elsewhere (Couch, 1998).
On the other hand, many employers will seek out older adults with soft skills such as
good work habits, the ability to get along will with others, punctuality, reliability, and
good communication (Citizen's League, 1998). And, many older adults who are
covered by Medicare and other retirement benefits don't need employer- sponsored
coverage and can be more open to short-term, part-time, and temporary employment
opportunities. Matching the needs of the employer and the skills and preferences of
older workers will be key to successful working relationships (Citizen's League, 1999).
Counselors can be an important player in helping older adults define their reasons for
working, skills, preferences, needs from the employer, contributions, and the potential
for work in the existing work climate and field of interest (Monk, 1994).
Retraining is another crucial component of future workplaces. Older workers can fill
replacement positions with a minimum of education and skills training. Employers
need to offer formal and informal educational options, transitional roles pre- retirement
or special projects as means to use the skills and knowledge of older workers while
also meeting their needs. Mentorship is important for older adults training for new
positions and for younger workers who learn from their experience.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
FZ
Communities and employers should work together to reduce the risk of poverty in old
age, particularly for women, minorities, and those with lower levels of education and
limited workforce attachment. Communities should take an active role in educating
the public about retirement and workforce options. Employers, in conjunction with
city leaders, can implement retreats and retirement planning services for their
employees beyond traditional financial retirement planning. New planning should also
consider skills, retraining needs, interests, goals, and potential barriers for those who
need or want to continue working in some capacity.
Finally, rethinking notions of work on a broad scale is also important. For example,
society as a whole must revisit assumptions about the primacy of paid work over
volunteer work, of commitment to work over family, and of traditional patterns of
workforce participation (e.g. a male template that doesn't account for caregiving
throughout life) (Moen, 1998). The benefits of ongoing dialogue, planning, and
flexibility will be numerous for older adults, employers, and communities as a whole.
Best Practice: Experience Corps
Conceived in the mid -1990s by leaders in the field of aging, Experience Corps is an
attempt to ""create a new institution that unleashes the time, talent and know -how of
older adults to revitalize civil society" (Freedman, 2000). It is a mechanism to meet
social needs, such as education, while also alleviating the loneliness, boredom and the
need to be needed of older adults. Test programs in 70 schools and 1000 volunteers
nationwide are signs of early success. Volunteers earn a stipend and commit to 15
hours per week (Freedman, 2000). Key facets include:
• Impact. It would strive to attack real problems, not serve as a mere diversion.
• Commitment. It would entail a major commitment for a defined period of time and
would contribute.a significant part of every volunteer's identity.
• Critical mass. Volunteers would be deployed in sufficient concentration to be a
presence wherever they serve.
• Leadership. Members would not only provide direct service, but would also use
their initiative and leadership to become social entrepreneurs.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 85
• Community. The Corps would create community within itself as well, fostering
mutual support and friendship among its members.
• Diversity. It would be open to everyone over age 50, with a broad scope of
marketing to all ages, both genders, and racial and income diverse members.
• The Name. By focusing on "experience" it would de- emphasize the chronological
age factor and focus on the skills and life experience that its members offer.
Experience Corps must be flexible to individual needs and preferences, but society as
a whole also needs flexibility to adapt and test new programs that identify, recruit,
and retain older adults as vital members and contributors (Freedman, 2000). One
author who interviewed seniors working with the program in Philadelphia noted that
there are many disciplines interested in what makes a society cohere. "Typically they
talk about its laws, economy, the distribution of wealth, and inclusiveness. Ultimately
though, all their talk leads to the same concept -the countless intersecting interests
that weave a social fabric out of disparate individual lives" (Halpern, 2000).
Experience Corps is an opportunity to merge the interests of different groups within a
society and at the same time, meet ongoing needs.
Community -wide Recommendations
Marc Freedman, writing in Prime Time, and others who are actively involved in
redefining retirement, makes four overall recommendations that can be adapted on
the local level to create initiatives to support and utilize their older residents.
Develop a New Vision
A compelling vision for later life inspires people to assume new roles and embrace
aging as an important opportunity. This goes beyond encouraging people to be more
"productive" however. It means valuing a wide range of contributions and recognizing
unpaid work in communities. It also means valuing how work is done, not just the
quantity (Freedman, 2000). A new vision must include education and awareness in
the rest of the community about the vital role of older adults, not as superfluous, but
as integral (Freedman, 2000).
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
i 1
Building Institutions
Integrating the talents of older adults through important community institutions is
important, such as a ""one-stop" entity that distributes resources into the community
or reforming existing institutions and agencies to better meet the needs of an older
population (Freedman, 2000). Important institutions or agencies to consider include:
• Institute for learning in retirement or Center for un- retirement
• Internship programs and re- training
• Retreats for role and identity development and spirituality
• Entrepreneurship and leadership training
• Health and wellness opportunities
• Social and cultural avenues that honor and feature older adults
Creating good places to grow older
There is a role for each sector to create places that serve the needs of older adults.
• Corporations offer comprehensive retirement planning for future roles, provide
options for phased retirement, and fund service opportunities for retirees.
• Universities impart knowledge for role transitions and provide a mechanism for
sharing resources and networking among older adults.
• Aging organizations provide leadership, media, advocacy and education.
• Foundations support innovative programs and social entrepreneurs. They should
include seniors in defining families or set aside separate funds for senior programs.
• Small business, retail, and service industries offer employment/ training.
Policy
Cities need to experiment with ways to serve older adults but also draw upon their
talents. For example, in Fort Collins, Colorado, older adults serve in parks and
recreation departments, libraries, and other areas and receive their payment as a
credit against their property tax bill (Freedman, 2000). Cities also need to create a
vision for old age and recognize the importance of civic life.

Community Inclusion: Local Expertise

Speakers at Community Dialogues #6 and #7 in March and April, 2000 offered
perspectives on community inclusion. Melinda Ludwiczak and Kathy Celley talked
about senior centers and volunteerism while Phil Lundblad discussed education. Kari
Benson's comments on workforce are in the previous literature review section.
Senior Centers
Senior centers emerged many years ago in large urban areas across the country to
serve the needs of older adults. Today there are more senior centers than McDonalds
restaurants nationwide and they offer a multitude of programs and services
(Ludwiczak, 2000). Future projections for senior center use rely not only on
demographic changes but also generational ones. For example, current seniors age
75+ rely upon senior centers for congregate dining, information and referral, and
respite care. Those aged 60 -74 currently, are less interested in group- centered
participation with peers but more interested in intergenerational activities. They
prefer a "salad bar" approach, which means they will pick and choose programs that
they wish to attend, generally with a broader range of interests (Ludwiczak, 2000).
Baby boomers, as they age, will also have unique interests, such as health - related
issues and opportunities for learning. They will also seek information on travel, work,
finances, and hobbies (Ludwiczak, 2000). Divergent interests are reflected in a 1995
survey of the Edina Senior Center. Past participation included trips and tours,
defensive driving course, the flu shot clinic, blood pressure checks, card groups, and
other special events. Activities they indicated as desirable for the future included
investment club, lectures on topics about aging, current events groups, and physical
activity such as hiking, and bicycling. Thus, future program outreach should include:
• Targeted mailings and free newsletters
• Use of the Internet and email to reach older adults
• Multi- generational community centers reduce isolation and separation
• Cost - sharing between youth, family, and senior programming

Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP)
:I-3
RSVP is offered through Volunteers of America/ Senior Resources Division, which
matches older adults with volunteer opportunities within their communities. There is
great need and potential for volunteer service in education. Currently, many seniors
volunteer in schools, yet the schools teach very little about the aging process itself or
about lifestyles, disabilities, and other important issues (Celley, 2000). RSVP works
with schools and older adults to increase sensitivity among youth to aging issues and
to increase their comfort level with seniors. People who come in contact with older
adults on a regular basis often know very little about their daily lives (Celley, 2000).
Therefore, RSVP has also worked with other community sectors to increase sensitivity
to aging issues, such as law enforcement (Celley, 2000).
In addition to education, RSVP encourages communities to recognize and appreciate
the efforts and contributions of seniors. Volunteering can come in many forms and is
part of a lifestyle, not just a formal program. Therefore, communities should work to
reduce barriers to participation for seniors and should share the results of programs
and their successes (Celley, 2000). It is also important to provide incentives
(financial) for making important contributions to their communities (Celley, 2000).
Education
Many employers know they are in need of workers, but don't know how to access and
accommodate older adults (Lundblad, 2000). Education, awareness, and collaboration
are important in bridging this gap. For example, colleges can help employers examine
policies, procedures, and environments and provide opportunities for continual
learning and retraining (Lundblad, 2000). Normandale Community College is
currently working on pilot program with local employers, host forums, and exchange
ideas and best practices within the community (Lundblad, 2000).
Enrichment education is also very important for older adults, such as in classes, issue
forums and book clubs, which foster continued learning. It is also important to tap
into the knowledge and experience that older adults bring and to value their skills,
such as mentoring by older adults in education and work place settings.

Community Inclusion: Resident Input
M
Community inclusion and involvement was the third main area addressed by focus
group participants. The main themes they discussed were volunteerism and social or
leisure activities.
Richfield
Richfield residents knew of and participated in a variety of volunteer opportunities.
They emphasized that volunteer options need to be accessible (transportation), safe,
allow for flexible schedules (including seasonal), and offer compensation whenever
possible. These factors would encourage more people to volunteer and stay
committed while also ensuring that anyone who wanted to participate could do so.
Suggestions for leadership in the community included the Star Group, which is
working with airport issues groups, block clubs, and steering committees for citywide
issues. They also indicated a desire for more intergenerational opportunities, either
volunteer or working with other age groups on important citywide problems.
The vast majority of participants felt that there were few barriers to education or the
workforce for older adults who wanted those opportunities. Although some indicated
that transportation could hinder a person's ability to participate, most felt that issues
such as discrimination were not a problem in their community. One participant
suggested that employment forms could be simplified so that people didn't have to
include their entire work history for a job that requires minimal skill or responsibility.
Most participants seemed to feel that people who were working were doing so for
enjoyment rather than out of necessity.
Several people did stress the need for daytime opportunities for work, education,
volunteerism, and leadership. Many avoid driving or walking at night, and some said
that they were simply unwilling to go out at night at all.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
a
Caregivers generally did not have enough time to become very involved in their
communities, and the people in their care were generally unable to interact freely with
others. Most had attended at least one caregiver support group, but found it difficult
to sustain long -term. One participant who works full -time for a major employer felt
that the agency would not be supportive of his caregiver role if it were not for the
Family Leave Act which enforces time off for caregivers. The participant noted that
"they would rather can (fire) you, period" and thus was strongly supportive of
caregiver leave policies in the workplace.
Finally, like social support, increasing awareness of opportunities for community
involvement was also.a theme. Community newspapers and newsletters were .
suggested as a way to announce both services and opportunities for older adults in
the community.
Edina
In Edina, participants cited numerous opportunities that currently exist for senior
involvement, but also areas for improvement. In general, they felt that it is important
for people to understand and validate the lives of older adults. Getting youth to
interact and understand aging and older adults is one method. For example,
"studying genealogy or interviewing adults can help kids understand their community
and the role of older adults in it."
Asking seniors to educate those around them and talk about their experiences is
another method. One suggestion is a column in the Sun publications, similar to one
suggested as a way to increase awareness of services. "As a contributing editor you
could share your experience and discuss what is needed. This is what I would find
really helpful to help make people aware that this (aging) is not limited to somebody
over there. This is the reality of our lives."
Specific opportunities that Edina participants would like to see more of include:
• Lectures, readings, and educational events
• Cultural events such as theatre trips
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
• Churches providing activities on Sunday afternoons
• Computer classes and Internet access
• Opportunities for those who are non - English speakers
• Events for those who are disabled or less mobile
In general, some felt that people who live in buildings find out about more
91
opportunities than those who live alone, and outreach to those seniors should be
increased (particularly if they are homebound or very old). They are also particularly
concerned about the current and future senior center. Some noted the emphasis of
the center was limited "I think that the center has focused a lot on adults that can
get around and haven't cone too much for older adults that need to get out."
Others expressed frustration that the senior center is currently so inaccessible and
also said the noise in the building and limited offerings of activities dissuaded them
from attending it. They indicated that they did not always feel welcomed there or
informed of programs before they filled up too quickly. They would like to be able to
give feedback more directly for improvements and have the center follow -up with
them after participating in an event or class. One woman noted "I think one reason
Creekside (in Bloomington) is successful is because they have a group there that
volunteer in everything. The are interested in those that are in day care, the
handicapped, the 500 club, they are friendly with everyone."
Caregivers in Edina, like those in Richfield, also feel somewhat withdrawn from their
communities. Lack of time is a major concern, but they also noted that they feel
isolated from others. Those caring for spouses said their friends and neighbors often
"drop by the wayside" and they can no longer do things as a couple. Younger
caregivers said people without caregiving responsibilities simply "can't relate." While
support groups are helpful, it is also important that they have respite care in order to
simply pursue leisure and relaxation time to reduce isolation.

South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
Local Perspectives: Focus Group Responses
Ii
Some responses from focus group participants have already been described under the
Resident Input sections for physical and social infrastructure and community inclusion.
However, many other important questions and comments surfaced during the course
of each of the eight focus groups conducted in Richfield and Edina. Both the older
adults and the caregivers that participated contributed many suggestions and
concerns for the future of aging in their community.
This section highlights some of their ideas. It should be noted that the ideas and
comments of participants might not always reflect the actual status of programs or
services in the community. Rather, it reflects their perceptions and experiences, with
their communities. Any gap between perceptions and realities may need to be
addressed by increasing awareness, education, and access to community features.
Value and Appreciate in Community
Overall, Richfield and Edina residents expressed satisfaction and affection for their
communities. Some of the favorite places to go in Richfield include parks and walking
paths such as Richfield Lake, Woodlake Center, and Legion Park, as well as the
Community Center, library, churches, and various restaurants. In Edina, favorite
places to go include Southdale, the libraries, Centennial Lakes, Wilson Park, the
Community Center, Cornelia Park, and the Edina Theatre. Participants also mentioned
nearby locations such as Normandale, Lake Harriet, Creekside Community Center, the
Mall of America (Senior Day), and Spanish- speaking agencies in the city.
In addition to the specific places in the community, participants also highlighted many
aspects of their communities that they value and appreciate. In Richfield, some
important items include:
• Location of Richfield relative to the downtown area and other suburbs
• Easy access to the freeways and also the fact that one needn't travel on a
freeway to get anything
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
M
• Convenience of stores and "everything you need" in the local area
• Good sanitation, water, and road systems
• Effective administrative and emergency response systems
• Parks and well -kept public spaces
• Value of homes
• Increase in the number of senior living units being built
• Having handicap parking spaces available at stores
Participants in Edina named many similar items that they value and appreciate, but
also some unique aspects:
• Safety
• Cleanliness and maintenance
• Convenience and access
• Schools and community education
• Churches
• Quiet and peaceful neighborhoods
• Sense of community
• Small -town feel
• Libraries
• Clinics
• Agencies for the disabled and elderly
• Social and volunteer opportunities and entertainment
Most Important for People as they Age
Participants named many of the items they value in their community as most
important to people as they age. Some are similar to the needs and desires of other
age groups, but are more pronounced in old age, and others are unique to the needs
of older adults. Examples include:
• Being able to stay in your own home with affordable maintenance.
• Places to exercise and socialize.
• Education about the aging population.
• Services to help people plan ahead.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 96
• Being able to share experiences with the community.
• Social opportunities.
• Getting from here to there on a daily basis.
Informal Support
Aside from city leadership, businesses, and service industries, participants also
contributed their ideas on neighborhood support and informal ways that people can
help to make the community better for older adults and caregivers.
Participants from both cities felt that their sense of neighborhood is not as strong as
in times past. Yet, participants support block clubs, neighborhood watch groups, and
the role of churches in supporting people as they age. One Edina participant is
organizing a neighborhood watch and believes that awareness of your neighbors'
situation is essential. She said " Some of the neighborhoods are not friendly because
people move in and out, so there needs to be kind of an awareness that someone is
living alone. Someone might pass away and you wouldn't even know."
Caregivers expressed concern that they could not count on their neighbors to help in a
time of need. "It would be helpful if neighbors would inform us that they are available
in an emergency. Even if they do not provide regular assistance, it is comforting to
know that one could depend upon a neighbor if necessary." Friendships and
neighborly support may also decrease when there is a mental decline in the person
being cared for and less free time for the caregiver. One Richfield participant summed
her experience "we hate to ask or rely on them."
One Edina participant suggested a more formal system of offering help. "I'd like to
see a barter system in neighborhoods (and the broader community). You volunteer
for someone and then get a certificate worth something of value to you (like fixing a
fence in your yard or something). The dollars don't change hands, but services do.
We have a group of people in this community who are very independent. They will
take the services but they don't necessarily want to give them."
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
M
Participants living in senior buildings seem to feel closer to their neighbors. One
woman shared that "in our building we all kind of look out for each other." But a
woman in the same group responded "I think what is neglected is there are a lot of us
out that that need that very same support system, but we don't have it at all."
Contributions
Participants also shared their thoughts on the contributions of older adults and
caregivers to the community. A primary response was volunteerism, particularly in
such needed places as hospitals, nursing homes, and driving others to appointments
or social engagements. "The wonderful thing about being old is that older people
make wonderful volunteers. There is no pressure and they love doing things for
people. You just have to approach them in some way."
In addition to volunteerism, they also attend meetings, mentor others, share
experiences, pay taxes, look out for each other, and provide childcare. Some older
adults "work part-time and they work hard not be a burden on the community."
Residents also noted the importance of older adults as a stabilizing influence in
communities. For example, older adults are "at home in the neighborhood when other
children come home. They also do not move as much as younger families. They
spend money and support local resources, services and business in the community.
They help young families by being there for them."
Caregivers also contribute, as one participant put it, " by giving compassion to
others. Being part of a support group and able to listen to others, hear their stories,
and share our own. You are able to help others and if you have a question, can learn
something." Another caregiver said that "You become sort of a walking resource, so if
you are in a conversation with someone you can share your experience and it gives
somebody else food for thought." Another caregiver said that she contributes by
caring for her husband at home and not relying on nursing care or outside help, while
others point to the financial and health assistance, transportation, and companionship
that they provide.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
•;
One Richfield resident described how she would like to contribute to community. "I
know of elderly people that are living with their children. The children are taking care
of their own children and parents (the sandwich generation). Maybe they would like
to go out or have a weekend off or something. I would like to stay with that person,
kind of a companionship. People just hunger for a friend to talk to."
Future changes and predictions
Residents of either city are unsure of exactly what the future will hold for themselves
and their community, but they offered their thoughts about changes they expect to
see or would like to see in future years. For example, they envision more outreach
and targeting of services directly to seniors, including things such as larger print in
advertising and newspapers. Others would like to see more research (such as focus
groups) done now to anticipate future needs and preferences of seniors.
Others worry about the suburbs increasing in size and seniors gravitating there
causing a crunch on housing, transportation, traffic, and safety. Residents anticipate
more independent living facilities (such as co -ops) and amenities in the future as well
as more housing subsidies. They also want to see an expansion of volunteer roles,
such as drivers, and reimbursement for unpaid work. Another resident suggested
approaching large businesses to directly help seniors by subsidizing or providing chore
services, and see the role of business increasing in the future. Issues such as medical
insurance and prescription drugs are of great importance to many and they advocate
for more leadership and advocacy on national issues.
Some participants also reflected on the changes and realities they anticipate with
baby boomers. One person commented, "I think one problem is we are all getting too
old. People use to die before their kids were ready for retirement. Now, if you live to
be 90 years old, your children might not be around. If you are looking at a retiree
who is 70 or one who is 90, it's an all together different problem."
Caregivers shared similar perspectives. A baby boomer participant said " Why not get
the education at our level before we have the issues? How can we help ourselves or
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
99
tell our families what to do if something happens to us? We should find this out so
that they can become better caregivers, which what we are all striving to be."
Another echoes the sentiment '"I will have everything (i.e. financial, funeral,
insurance) taken care of for my children if at all possible. Things shouldn't have to be
as hard as they are for me taking care of my mother."
Key Items to Address
As a summary of resident input, each participant was asked to identify the three most
important issues for the community to address, in their opinion. Many of the ideas
had already surfaced earlier, but this is an opportunity for participants to privately
indicate their own priorities for the community.
Two of the main issues that surfaced repeatedly in each community include
transportation and housing. Their comments varied, as did the emphasis on different
aspects of the issues, but these two themes were very prominent in all of the
discussions. Fear of not being able to keep their own home, get home assistance, or
find an affordable alternative is a large concern for many residents. And being able to
get around town, whether it's to appointments or social engagements, also weighs
heavily on their minds. Although housing and transportation both fall under the
physical infrastructure umbrella in this report, it is clear that these concerns also
affect their health, social connections, and ability to remain integral parts of their
community.
In Richfield, other themes that surfaced as most important to address include:
• Tax breaks for older adults, particularly recent widows and widowers.
• Support for caregivers through respite programs.
• Health assistance and affordable home maintenance for those living alone,
particularly in detached single - family homes.
• Volunteer opportunities and programs with daytime hours.
• Increased awareness of the availability of programs, services, and support.
• Better access to safe sidewalks and crosswalks.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
VIII]
• Control of noise pollution, particularly in growing and congested areas where
older adults may be concentrated.
• Preparation for a move, including assistance with cleaning, sorting and
distributing possessions, finances, and visiting potential homes.
• Social activities for those with mental and physical disabilities.
• Counseling through churches or affordable trained professionals.
In Edina, focus group participants listed these themes as most important:
• Stoplights, traffic control, streetlights, and other aspects of pedestrian safety.
• Home services such as housekeeping and chores.
• Training and increased wages for home healthcare & nursing home workers.
• Awareness of services and opportunities through community listings.
• Education and understanding about aging for all age groups.
• Opportunities to share experiences and skills, and more multi -age events.
• One number to call for assistance — information clearinghouse for seniors.
• Increased role for faith institutions in social activities.
• Accessible senior center with daytime programs and opportunities.
• Geriatric specialty clinics.
• Availability of counseling and support on weekends.
The ideas shared by focus group participants show similarities in their need for
services that can adapt with age, a wide range of housing options, reliable access to
transportation and services, and companionship and social interaction.
Each of the components of the Communities for All Ages project, focus groups,
community dialogues, and literature review has provided important insights for aging
communities and human services planning. The myriad of important themes that
arise from each also begin to overlap and form a web of needs, services,
opportunities, and preferences within the communities of Richfield and Edina. From
this web, broad recommendations can be made for next steps in the community.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
Recommendations
101
The following list of recommendations is intended to guide future action by city
leadership. Parts of these recommendations may already be in place in various
sectors of the community. Moreover, the recommendations are not all- inclusive or
sequential, but they provide a mechanism for addressing the specific ideas listed in
the key themes. Future planning documents can establish priorities, direction, and
timelines for action in each city.
City Policy and Planning
• Create a volunteer, citizen -based commission to address local issues and provide
leadership on state and national issues of concern to older adults.
• Create a vision for aging in the local community. Conduct a visioning process and
long -range plan to help the community develop a new identity and a strong role
for older adults within the community.
• Draft a local "plan of action" to follow -up on the goals and visions, including
established methods of citizen input and timelines for progress.
• Create reliable funding streams for housing, assisted living services, home services
such as chores /housekeeping, and comprehensive health programs that include
prevention, education, and safety.
• Ensure that the needs of low- income seniors and those with multiple needs (such
as disabled and low- income) are prioritized and planned for in the future.
• Review access and funding for local resource centers and referral agencies to
ensure provision of services to older adults and inclusion of older adults as part of
"family" services. Encourage foundations to also provide financial support for
senior - specific programs.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages 102
Community Capacity
Community Building
• Promote neighborhood support networks through formal organizations such as
Block Nurse programs or through local development of programs such as watch
groups or companionship and barter systems for chores and maintenance.
• Acknowledge older persons as a valuable resource in the community through
°senior" columns in local newspapers, local radio shows, and trade shows for older
business owners, and lectures for and by older adults.
• Create a directory of older adults willing and able to offer their talents and
expertise to the community as well as a listing of paid and unpaid opportunities for
involvement in the community.
• Implement units on gerontology and aging in school systems to encourage
understanding and prepare young people for aging realities. Encourage inclusion
of older adults in classrooms and intergenerational interaction in the schools
beyond activities.
• Increase opportunities for volunteerism and leadership by older adults, including
outreach and marketing to raise awareness. Work to provide reimbursement or
compensation, peer role models, flexible scheduling, and varied options.
Community Service
• Broaden the role of and support for the Senior and Community Centers. This could
include enhanced services such as: intergenerational programs, programs for
disabled and homebound seniors, opportunities for leadership and volunteerism
within the centers and in the community, and training workshops for new skills,
education, and leisure.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
103
• Enhance the role of businesses in providing services and support to the broader
community. For example, encourage employers to exchange information and best
practices on hiring, training, and retaining older adults. Promote flexible schedules
for older adults, caregivers, and employees who wish to provide volunteer services
in the community. Offer support groups and flextime for caregivers, and facilitate
volunteerism by employees.
• Develop and continue respite services for family caregivers through Adult Day
Care, home respite for short-term needs, neighborhood support, and employer
flexibility and support.
• Acknowledge and promote the role of faith institutions in providing social support
through caregiver groups, transportation, social activities, counseling, and
volunteerism.
• Educate baby boomers now about aging realities and planning ahead. Provide
assistance for baby boomers on future planning for retirement, finances, housing,
and health care and insurance and encourage discussion and planning.
• Strengthen ties between medical and social service providers to increase
awareness of existing programs, proper referrals, and sensitivity to signs of
physical and mental decline or abuse.
Future Research
Transit
• Examine the needs and existing options within the local area for private and public
transit services (e.g. BeLine, City of Edina bus service, etc.).
• Survey local churches and volunteer agencies providing informal transit services to
identify gaps, and areas for potential expansion and collaboration (Bloomington
Human Services Division conducted a survey of churches in 1998).
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
104
• Solicit community input regarding preferences and experiences of local residents
with various methods of transit (e.g. Metromobility, vans, taxicabs, etc.).
• Develop or extend local transit systems (e.g. within the four cities of SW
Hennepin) and create networks of volunteer and paid drivers.
Housing
• Collect data on existing supply of housing and projections for demand. Survey
older adults and baby boomers on preferences and identify reasons for wanting to
stay in the home. Check for generational differences in preferences.
• Revisit zoning laws for land use, housing and services, including home - sharing
options and multi -use facilities that could offer "one -stop shopping."
• Create guidelines for housing development to ensure a wide range of options,
accessibility, and affordability. Ensure builders /developers are meeting the needs
and desires of community and are working within an established vision.
• Offer "a la carte" services for assisted living (rather than just packages) to better
meet a wide spectrum of needs and preferences. Recognize three generations of
older adults with different needs for appropriate levels of care at various times.
Social services
• Evaluate existing services to identify strengths and future needs. Examine
resources and programs that are currently meeting needs or have the capacity to
meet them in the future. Identify any duplication of efforts or gaps in services
before implementing new programs.
• Survey baby boomers (middle -aged adults) on future planning and preferences
such as housing, transportation, caregiving, social and health needs, volunteerism,
leisure, and workforce opportunities.
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
Conclusion
105
This report has outlined many challenges and realities for older adults and caregivers
in local communities. Yet, there are also many opportunities and visions that can be
implemented now and in the future. In order to realize them, communities must also
attend to some important social norms that affect individuals and communities.
Recognize and Counteract Ageism
The social norms around ageism are not always obvious, but attitudes are prevalent in
individuals and institutions. For example, "if you see your own aging as a story of
decline and fall, it is hard to imagine how you could stop from seeing other people in
that same light" (Nelson and Nelson, 1998). The personal costs of ageism such as
demoralization, loss of self- esteem and function, inactivity, and physical and mental
decline affect older adults on a daily basis (Palmore, 1990).
Moreover, the economic costs of ignoring the productive and creative abilities of older
people (such as those who are pressured to retire because of age) are also a reality in
communities nationwide (Palmore, 1990). And, social and cultural costs are incurred
by ignoring the experience that older people bring to communities (Palmore, 1990).
Older people may have within them the solution to societal issues such as adequate
childcare, labor shortages, or juvenile delinquency. As author James Hillman has
noted, " We are a practical nation and we don't realize the practical value of older
people. They know a lot, they've acquired many skills." (Zeiger, 2000). Changing
attitudes, practices, and institutions will take consistent and ongoing effort.
Acknowledge and Promote Intergenerational Relationships
Although older adults have some unique concerns, they are not vastly different from
the rest of the community in their need for safety, shelter, belonging, privacy,
companionship, and a sense of purpose and well being. Yet, they are often
categorized as 'other" or set aside by younger generations. For example, it has been
said that "generations do not pool resources and transfer their time and energy to one
South Hennepin: Communities for All Ages
106
another as much as in the past. As a result, government and institutions must act as
intermediaries for services, but they cannot invoke a sense of community mutual
dependence alone" (Weill and Rother, 1998 -99).
Likewise, different ages collaborating on policy and community planning will be more
likely to meet a wider variety of needs and be able to take action on important issues
in their communities. "Our research and that of many other scholars suggests that
for baby boomers, there is indeed considerable intergenerational uncertainty as
parents and children strive to negotiate relationships with one another" (Pillemer and
Suitor, 1998). Thus, commitments to mutual issues can increase social cohesion if
generations reinforce, support, collaborate, and appreciate one another, beginning at
the local community level.
Engage Residents and Look to the Future
In order to provide the many facets of community identified nationally and locally,
Edina and Richfield must create a vision for aging in their communities and develop a
unique role for older adults in that process. In sum, future planning efforts must
focus on the value and appreciation for older adults that communities strive to foster
and find ways to meet the dynamic needs of the older population.

10 minutes:
Introduction and background
100 minutes:
group questions and discussion
5 minutes:
wrap -up
Opening Question (5 minutes)

to go there?
Introductory Questions (15 minutes)
2. What do you value or appreciate most in your community?
3. What would you change about your community if you could?
Transition Question (10 minutes)
4. Which aspects of community do you think are most critical for
people as they age?
Key Questions (60 minutes)
Next, we are going to discuss these three key elements of your
community. Based upon your experiences as an older adult or as
someone who cares for an older adult, what do you think is working
well and what needs improvement in the following three areas?
5. Physical aspects of your community
• Housing
• Transit
• Public spaces such as parks, pedestrian areas and sidewalks
• Locations and access to stores, libraries, etc.
6. Health and Support Services in your community
• Transportation services for seniors
• Home healthcare
• Community services (congregate dining, clinics, etc.)
• Chore services (yard work, repair)
• Counseling and support- someone to talk to when need help
7. Community Involvement
• Social and recreational opportunities
• Employment (retraining, part-time, transitional)
• Continuing or community education
• Volunteerism
• Leadership and advocacy
• Religious institutions
8. Based upon what you have identified as needing improvement, we
are now going to rank these items by importance. Using the piece
of paper in front of you, write what you feel are the top three items
(most important to improve) from the list you've generated on the
flipchart. These will be used to summarize the most important
items identified here today.
9. What can you and others around you do to help make your
community better for older persons and caregivers? How do you
feel residents should support each other as neighbors, peers, and
through other informal networks of support?
10. What do you feel are the most significant contributions that older
persons /caregivers make to your community? Are there ways that
you would like to contribute but are not being asked or invited?
11. How do you think needs, preferences, and perceptions about
aging in your community might change in the future? And how
might the community adapt to those changes?
Ending Questions (10 minutes)
12. Based upon your comments, I'd like to provide you with a
summary of our discussion today. Is this adequate? Have we
missed anything important related to senior issues?
13. Is there anything else you would like to add?
This brings us to the end of our discussion and our time together.
Thank you for your time and your thoughtful comments today. If you
think of additional items or have questions of any kind, please contact

groups have worked to uncover trends and identify future themes.
Demographic realities that these two reports predict include:
• In 2030, we will see a sharp rise in the dependency ratio. This ratio is the
number of dependents [elderly and children] compared to those of working age.
• By 2050, older women over age 85 will outnumber older men by 2 to 1.
• The number of older persons living alone in Minnesota will double by 2030.
• Income disparities and cultural and ethnic diversity will continue to increase for
the next several decades.
Based upon these demographic indicators, the vision that Project 2030 and its
partners have identified includes the following:
• Minnesota communities in 2030 will be truly livable for all age groups,
intergenerational and lifecycle in nature, offering choices that meet the
needs of their residents including older - people.
• Communities will support older people living independently longer.
• Communities will offer a broad range of opportunities to their residents to
build social "connections." •

I* I* Purpose of the Report
In 1998, key city leaders, staff, and volunteer citizens in Richfield and Edina indicated
a need for a comprehensive review of current issues for older adults. They
emphasized a desire to plan effectively for the future needs of baby boomers. The
Hennepin South Services Collaborative, as their research and planning agency, was
asked to conduct this study, now known as Communities for All Ages.
A nationwide literature and best practices review was conducted throughout 1999,
community dialogues were held in each city during the fall of 1999 and winter of
2000 and focus groups with residents were conducted in the spring of 2000. Each of
these helped define the themes and recommendations found in this report. The
report is an attempt to:
• Highlight the demographic and other changes taking place in Edina and Richfield.
• Understand the corresponding needs and preferences that accompany these

Demographic Trends: South Hennepin County in Context
State demographers project large changes in age demographics in Minnesota by the
year 2030, but communities such as Richfield and Edina will already be experiencing
significant shifts by 2010. The past four decades have already shown a consistent
increase in the elderly population of both Richfield and Edina. In Edina, the
percentage of seniors over age 65 increased from 6% in 1960 to 20% in 1990 and in
Richfield the increase went from 3% to 17% (South Hennepin Regional Planning
Agency, 1993).
In 1990, the number of seniors in Richfield and Edina was roughly equivalent to the
number of youth ages 0 -17, an age group whose numbers declined steadily over the
same time period (South Hennepin Regional Planning Agency, 1993). In 1997,
Hennepin County was home to 48% of the total older population (defined as 55 and
older). The second closest county was Ramsey with only 23% in-comparison (Wilder
Research Center, 1999). The results of the 2000 census will demonstrate more
clearly the direction and degree of demographic changes in the region.
The overall number of seniors is not the only factor that determines the priorities for a
community whose population is aging, however. The distribution of seniors in various
age ranges also influences the planning needs. For example, if the older adult
population is concentrated in the over age 75 range, the community needs may be
more immediate and the number of seniors may eventually level off and be consistent
with other age groups. In Hennepin County, however, the largest group of "seniors"
falls in the 55 -64 category, making the aging trend more long -term and the planning
needs future - oriented as well as current (Wilder Research Center, 1999).
Racial and Ethnic Diversity
Racial and ethnic diversity within the senior population of Hennepin County is
currently less varied than in any other previous generation. As shown in Table 3
below, there were 199,624 seniors (age 55 and older) living in Hennepin County in
1997 (Wilder Research Center, 1999) and the vast majority was Caucasian.
• Community Capacity
Community Building
• Promote neighborhood support networks through formal organizations such'as
Block Nurse programs or through local development of programs such as watch
groups or companionship and barter systems for chores and maintenance.

• Acknowledge older persons as a valuable resource in the community through
'senior" columns in local newspapers, local radio shows, and trade shows for older
business owners, and lectures for and by older adults.
• Create a directory of older adults willing and able to offer their talents and
expertise to the community as well as a listing of paid and unpaid opportunities
for involvement in the community.
• Implement units on gerontology and aging in school systems to encourage
understanding and prepare young people for aging realities. Encourage inclusion
of older adults in classrooms and intergenerational interaction in the schools
beyond activities.
• Increase opportunities for volunteerism and leadership by older adults, including
outreach and marketing to raise awareness. Work to provide reimbursement or
compensation, peer role models, flexible scheduling, and varied options.
Community Service
• Broaden the role of and support for the Senior and Community Centers. This
could include enhanced services such as: intergenerational programs, programs
for disabled and homebound seniors, opportunities for leadership and
volunteerism within the centers and in the community, and training workshops for
new skills, education, and leisure.
• Enhance the role of businesses in providing services and support to the .broader
community. For example, encourage employers to exchange information and
Recommendations
The following list of recommendations is intended to guide future action by city
leadership. Parts of these recommendations may already be in place in various
sectors of the community. Moreover, the recommendations are not all- inclusive or
sequential, but they provide a mechanism for addressing the specific ideas listed in
the key themes. Future planning documents can establish priorities, direction, and
timelines for action in each city.
City Policy and Planning
• Create a volunteer, citizen -based commission to address local issues and provide
leadership on state and national issues of concern to older adults (sometimes
called "silver legislatures ").
• Create a vision for aging in the local community. Conduct a visioning process and
long -range plan to help the community develop a new.identity and a strong role
for older adults within the community.
• Draft a local "plan of action" to follow -up on the goals and visions, including
established methods of citizen input and timelines for progress.
• Develop reliable funding streams for housing, assisted living services, home
services such as chores /housekeeping, and comprehensive health programs that
include prevention, education, and safety.
• Ensure that the needs of low- income seniors and those with multiple needs (such
as disabled and low- income) are prioritized and planned for in the future.
• Review access and funding for local resource centers and referral agencies to
ensure provision of services to older adults and inclusion of older adults as part of
"family" services. Encourage foundations to support for senior - specific programs.

However, these demographics are predicted to change by the year 2025 for the State
of Minnesota as a whole. While the Caucasian population is only expected to
increase 8 %, African Americans will increase +113 %, American Indian +51 %, Asian
American +104% and Hispanic +248% (Minnesota Planning, 1994).
Life Expectancy and Gender Differences
In general, women live longer than men do and Minnesotans tend to live longer than
the average American (Wilder Research Center, 1999). Life expectancy for
Minnesotans in 1995 was approximately 80.8 years for females, down from 81.0
years, and 75.1 for males, up from 74.6 (MN Planning, 1997). Yet, because of the
continued gap in life expectancy between men and women and the tendency for men
to marry women younger than them, it is common to find more women living alone
than men at an older age. In 1998, approximately 72% of men age 65 and older
were married and living with their spouse, compared to only 41% of women the
same age (Wilder Research Center, 1999).
Disability
Disabilities are usually classified into two groups. The first is activities of daily living,
such as basic self -care (bathing, grooming, etc.) (Wilder Research Center, 1999).
The second is instrumental activities of daily living such as cooking, housework, and
shopping (Wilder Research Center, 1999). Wilder Research Center estimates that
approximately 49,000 Twin Cities area seniors over age 65 have difficulty with one or
both types of daily activities (1999). Disability also rises sharply with age; it is more
than twice as common among those seniors or age 85 as it is among seniors ages 65
to 74 (Wilder Research Center, 1999). As a result, overall life expectancy increases
will mean more visibility of seniors with disabilities.
The effect of these changes is that communities will need cost - effective and locally
based alternatives for providing housing, quality care, and social services for various
levels and types of disabilities among older adults. In addition, the social,
recreational, and workforce needs of seniors with disabilities is essential to
maintaining community connection and preventing isolation.
Economic Status
Women, in particular, suffer economic hardships in old age, often because their
incomes continue to lag behind men.. For example, older women's median income is
57% of older men's median income nationwide, $6,700 and $11,800 respectively
(Crawley, 1994). Moreover, the average Social Security benefit for women is 76% of
that for older men (Crawley, 1994). Racial and ethnic factors demonstrate even
greater disparities in income, particularly for women.
Family and Social Relationships
Family and social relationships usually become increasingly important as adults age.
Increasingly, older adults will have a spouse or a parent living with them that
requires their care at a much older age. Grandparents raising grandchildren is also
increasingly common and changes family dynamics, lifestyles, and roles for older
adults. For many older persons, health concerns, limits on mobility, and feelings of
loneliness or isolation encourage older persons to move nearer to their children and
grandchildren and may cause frequent transitions in later life.
There are interesting dichotomies present in family relationships. In 1960, 13
percent of households consisted of a person living alone, but by 1998, the figure had
almost doubled, to 26 percent (New York Times, 2000). Living alone is most common
among older women, because women are more likely to be widowed and less likely
to remarry, leaving them to live alone for more years. Social Security and the
accumulation of wealth also allow people to live alone longer in older adulthood. The
last several decades have shown a decrease in the number of elderly.living with their
adult offspring. Family breakdown, geographic mobility, and attitudes toward the
elderly as burdensome also contribute to the phenomenon (Pillemer and Suitor,
1998).
Yet, even as families are farther apart geographically, there is evidence that family
ties remain strong. For example, in 1996, it was estimated that 76 percent of the
elderly population age 60 and older had children living within 30 minutes from them
(New York Times, 2000). Contact has been shown to remain steady over the
decades between adult children and parents. Since the early 1990's, the Health and

Key Items to Address
As a summary of resident input, each participant was asked to identify the most
important issues for the community to address, in their opinion. Residents of both
communities indicated transportation and affordable and varied housing as priority
issues, along with services that are adaptable with age. Other themes included:
Richfield
• Tax breaks for older adults, particularly recent widows and widowers.
• Support for caregivers through respite programs.
• Health assistance and affordable home maintenance for those living alone.
• Volunteer opportunities and programs with daytime hours.
• Increased awareness of the availability of programs, services, and support.
• Better access to safe sidewalks and crosswalks.
Preparation for a move, including assistance with cleaning, sorting and
distributing possessions, finances, and visiting potential homes.
• Social' activities for those with mental and physical disabilities.
• Counseling that is affordable and available on weekends.
Edina
• Stoplights, traffic control, streetlights, and other aspects of pedestrian safety.
• Home services such as housekeeping and chores.
• Training and increased wages for home healthcare & nursing home workers.

• Geriatric specialty clinics.
Local Perspectives: Focus Group Responses
More than 50 residents participated in focus groups and offered insightful comments
on aging in their community, many of which are incorporated into the key themes.
This section highlights some of the specific items and comments that they shared.
Most Important for People as they Age
Some of the needs identified are similar to other age groups, but are more
pronounced in old age, and others are unique to the needs of older adults.
Examples include being able to stay in your own home with affordable maintenance,
having places to exercise and socialize, education about aging, services to help
people plan ahead, being able to share experiences with the community, and getting
"from here to there" on a daily basis.
Future changes and predictions •
Residents in each city also offered their visions of the future. Examples include
outreach and targeting of services directly to seniors and increased research (such as
focus groups) done now to anticipate future needs and preferences of seniors. Some
desire an expansion of volunteer roles and reimbursement for unpaid work as well as
increased role for large businesses to directly help seniors by subsidizing or providing
chore services. Others worry about the suburbs increasing in size and seniors
gravitating there causing a crunch on housing, transportation, traffic, and safety.
Some participants also reflected on the changes and realities they anticipate with
baby boomers. "I think one problem is we are all getting too old. People use to die
before their kids were ready for retirement. Now, if you live to be 90 year sold, your
children might not be around. If you are looking at a retiree who is 70 or one who is
90, it's an all together different problem."
A baby boomer participant said " Why not get the education at our level before we
have the issues? How can we help ourselves or tell our families what to do if
something happens to us? We should find this out so that they can become better
• Retirement Study at the University of Michigan has traced adults age 50 and older,
revealing that parents and children are remaining connected as they age.
Geographic Mobility
Demographic literature indicates trends in geographic mobility common throughout
the lifecycle. For example, mobility is concentrated in young adulthood, plateaus
during middle age, and then rises again during early retirement years and late in life
(Longino, 1998). Current seniors fit this profile and baby- boomers are also expected
to generally follow this trend, but with some important changes. For example,
although the key mobility stages may stay roughly the same, the sheer number of
baby boomers moving through life stages at the same time means the number of
older adults moving will also increase markedly.
Retirement migration, in particular, will be sensitive to the fluctuations in the number
of "entry level" retirees at one time. "Amenity migration" is a term used to describe
Iearly retirees who travel to pleasant climates and recreational areas. This trend is
expected to surge with the senior -boom, particularly for those couples that had dual
careers and therefore may have greater retirement resources. Some of these seniors
will "migrate" only part of the year and others move permanently. In Minnesota, this
will likely mean retirees traveling throughout the seasons.
•
In contrast to this trend, however, the assisted living market will also mean more
seniors staying in one place and receiving a variety of services as they age. Frail
seniors tend to move closer to relatives, particularly children, and low- income seniors
will have less retirement resources to draw upon and thus be less geographically
mobile. And, as mentioned under family relationships, many older adults move back
to their former communities when they lose a spouse or experience problems for
which they seek support. These two contrasting trends in geogrpaphic mobility will
be visible simultaneously with the coming "senior- boom."

INITIATION & ISSUES: This project was initiated by the Development Plan for Fairview Southdale
Hospital as approved by the Edina City Council on May 2, 2000. Attached is
an agreement between Fairview Health Services, Fairview Southdale
Physicians Building Limited and the City of Edina supporting the public
improvements to this area. This phase of these projects is one part of a two
phase approach to the roadway improvements in this area. Phase One
originally included the Drew Avenue expansion. Phase Two originally
included the Valley View Road and TH62 interchange along with the
resurfacing of West 65th Street between France Avenue and Valley View
Road. Phase One is currently proposed to include Drew Avenue from West
66th Street to West 65th Street and also West 65th Street from Valley View
Road to France Avenue. This feasibility only includes Drew Avenue due to
different special assessment area than the West 65th Street project.
EXISTING CONDITIONS: The existing streetscape consists of 36 foot wide bituminous roadway with a
bulkhead concrete curb and gutter flanking both sides. The westerly

boulevard contains small berms with landscaping that includes small to large
trees. The roadway pavement is 35 to 38 years old and is in good condition
with no drainage concerns. The commercial buildings located to the east
constructed in the mid- 1960's have not been redeveloped.
Widen Drew Avenue approximately 6 feet to the west and add a 6 foot wide
brick paver boulevard sidewalk along the westerly side from West 66th Street
to West 65th Street. The roadway will be
widened by removing the westerly curb line
and expanding the roadway to the west,
see plan below. A new bulkhead concrete
curb and gutter will be installed and the
roadway will be patched. A seal coat will
then be placed to maintain a uniform
appearance. An alternate bid will be
included for a 2'/2 inch mill and overlay of
the remaining pavement. The existing berm
and landscaping will be removed to
construct a six foot brick paver sidewalk to
match the existing sidewalk along West
66th Street along with a new pedestrian
lighting plan to blend with the existing lights
along West 66th Street, see photo.

INITIATION & ISSUES: This project was initiated by the Development Plan for Fairview Southdale
Hospital as approved by the Edina City Council on May 2, 2000. Attached is
an agreement between Fairview Health Services, Fairview Southdale
Physicians Building Limited and the City of Edina supporting the public
improvements to this area. This phase of these projects is one part of a two
phase approach to the roadway improvements in this area. Phase One
originally included the Drew Avenue expansion. Phase Two originally
included the Valley View Road and TH62 interchange along. with the .
resurfacing of West 65th Street between France Avenue and Valley View
Road. Phase One is currently proposed to include Drew Avenue from West
66th Street to West 65th Street and also West 65th Street from Valley View
Road to France Avenue. This feasibility report only includes West 65th Street
due to a different special assessment area than the Drew Avenue project.
The Public Hearing for Phase Two, the interchange at Valley View Road and
TH62, will be requested after Staff has acquired preliminary approval from
Minnesota Department of Transportation. Staff is anticipating this Public
Feasibility Study BA304
West 65th Street - from Valley View Road to France Avenue
February 6, 2001
Page 2
Hearing to be held mid -2001 with a potential construction start in late 2001.
Staff has initiated discussion with the Minnesota Department of
Transportation to acquire these approvals for modifications to this
interchange.
EXISTING CONDITIONS: The existing streetscape consists of a 44 foot wide bituminous roadway with
a bulkhead concrete curb and gutter flanking both sides. The roadway is 38
years old and the pavement is in relatively poor condition. Portions of the
concrete curb and gutter are also in poor condition.
IMPROVEMENT: This project involves milling 4'/2 inches of the pavement, replacing portions of
the concrete curb and gutter and repaving the roadway, see plan below.
The existing sidewalk that is located along the Southdale Hospital Parking
Ramp property is proposed to be extended to Valley View Road. The
proposed sidewalk would be a 5 foot wide concrete sidewalk.
PROPOSED ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
RIGHT -OF -WAY: Adequate right -of -way exists for the roadway work, however a sidewalk
easement will be required along the north right -of -way line.
FEASIBILITY: This project is feasible from an Engineering / City standpoint.
EASEMENTS: A sidewalk easement will be required along the north right -of -way line for the
properties located at 4010 and 4018 West 65th Street. If these sidewalk
easements cannot be acquired prior to award of bid then the sidewalk portion
of the project will be delayed until these properties redevelop.

Info/Background:
Legislation passed during the 2000 session mandated that all cities appoint local
compliance officers and adopt written policies for administration of the Minnesota Data
Practice Act. In November 2000, the Council appointed the City Clerk its Compliance
Officer. The final step to bringing us into compliance with the new legislation is to
adopt a written policy. The proposed policy is a compilation of work done by a number
of metropolitan cities based upon a model offered by the Minnesota Department of
Administration. The City Attorney has reviewed the policy. Staff asks the Council to
adopt the policy as presented so it can be submitted to the Minnesota Department of
Administration for review.
CITY OF EDINA GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES
for the
MINNESOTA GOVERNMENT DATA PRACTICES ACT
INTRODUCTION
The Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (the "Act ") regulates all government data
created, collected, received, maintained, disseminated or stored by a state agency, political
subdivision or statewide system regardless of the data's physical form, storage media or
conditions of use.
Briefly, the Act describes: (1) what information can be collected, (2) with whom the
information may be shared, (3) the classification of specific government data, (4) the duties
of City personnel in administering the provisions of the Act, (5) access and procedures for
access to the information, (6) procedures whereby information may be classified as not
public, (7) civil penalties for violation of the Act, and (8) the charging of fees for copies of
records.
The basis on which a determination of how government data is handled is the classification
system. Government data is either data on individuals or data not on individuals. Data on
individuals is classified as either public, private or confidential and data not on individuals is
classified as either public, nonpublic or protected nonpublic.
Since the Act and these Guidelines and Procedures are definition- dependent, a "Glossary
of Terms" is contained in the back. Italicized words and phrases contained herein indicate
defined terms.
These guidelines and procedures are promulgated with the intention of assisting City
personnel in the determination of the classification and handling of government data which
is maintained by their departments. This manual is to be used in conjunction with the
Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (as amended) and the Rules promulgated by the
Commissioner of Administration.
1
SECTION 1
COLLECTION, STORAGE AND DISPOSITION OF GOVERNMENT DATA
A. Collecting Government Data.
1. Government data "means all data created, collected, received, maintained, or
disseminated by any State Agency, political subdivision or Statewide System regardless of
the data's physical form, storage media or conditions of use." (Minn. Stat. § 13.07(7))
Government data includes all papers, cards, correspondence, discs, maps, memoranda,
microfilm, photographs, recordings, reports, tapes, writings, computer medium and other
data, information or documentary material. (See Minn. Stat. § 138.17).
2. All public officers and agencies are required to keep all records necessary to a full
and accurate knowledge of their official activities (Minn. Stat. § 15.17). The Minnesota
Government Data Practices Act, (the "Act ") states that a government agency can collect only
information that is necessary for the administration and management of programs
specifically authorized by the legislature, local governing body (i.e., city council, county
board, etc.) or mandated by the federal government. (Minn. Stat. § 13.05, subd. 3). This
authorization is called the enabling authority. Examples of "programs" are: building code
enforcement, Community Block Development Grant program, liquor licensing. All of these
programs are established by and implement a federal, state or local law.
3. The information that the City collects must be accurate, complete and current for
the purposes for which it was collected. , At any time, a data subject may contest the
accuracy and completeness of the data the City maintains about him or her. Minn. Rules,
Part 1205.1500 defines the terms:
a. "Accurate" to mean that the data in question is reasonably correct and free
from error;
b. "Complete" to mean that the data in question reasonably reflects the history
of an individual's transactions with the particular entity. Omissions in an individual's history
that,place an individual in a false light are not permitted; and
C. "Current" to mean that the data in question must be logically related to the
entity's required and actual use of the data in its day -to -day operations. (Minn. Rules, Pt.
1205.1500, subp. 2)
B. Determining What Information Is "Necessary ".
2
The Act provides that the "collection and storage of all data on individuals and the use and
dissemination of private and confidential data ... shall be limited to that necessary for the
administration and management of programs..." (Minn. Stat. § 13.05, subd. 3)
The Responsible Authority determines what is "necessary" for the administration and
management of authorized programs based on criteria contained in Minn. Rules, Part
1205.1500 of the "Rules Governing the Enforcement and Administration of the'Minnesota
Government Data Practices Act. "' These Rules state that data is necessary if:
1. the particular data is both required to carry out programs or
functions that are expressly or impliedly authorized by a
provision of State Statute, Federal lazy or a local ordinance and
periodically examined, updated, modified or referred to by the
entity; or
2. the entity would be unable to fulfill its duties without undue or
increased burden, if the particular data were not collected,
stored, used or disseminated; or
3. retention of the particular data is required in the event that a
legal action is brought against or by the entity; or
4. retention of the particular data is essential to comply with a
state or federal requirement that data be retained for a specified
period for the purposes of auditing, records retention,
historical interest, and other similar purposes.
(Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.1500, subp. 4)
C. Retention and Disposition of Government data
1. The destruction, preservation and reproduction of government data is largely
regulated by Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 138 (see Minn. Stat. § 138.161 - 138.25). While
some records must be kept for a period prescribed by law, such as certain child abuse
reports, a specific retention period for many records is not prescribed by law. Absent a
clearly specified retention period, the records, with few exceptions, may be disposed of
only after the Records Disposition Panel approves a Records Retention Schedule or an
application to dispose of records. The Records Disposition Panel is composed of the
Attorney General, Legislative or State Auditor and the Director of the Minnesota Historical
Society. The panel has the power, by unanimous consent, to direct the destruction, sale or
other disposition of government records. The destruction of government records without
the proper authority is a misdemeanor (Minn. Stat. § 138.225).
3
y
2. The City has adopted State General Records Retention Schedule. City employees
must dispose of records in accordance with the Records Retention Schedule. If a record
does not appear in the Records Retention Schedule, the department head should notify the
Responsible Authority. Proposed revisions to the Records Retention Schedule must be
referred to the Responsible Authority.
3. The Responsible Authority must keep records containing government data in such an
arrangement and condition as to make them easily accessible for convenient use.
Photographic, photostatic, microphotographic, or microfilmed records shall be considered
as accessible for convenient use regardless of the size of such records. Every department
head is designated to perform the Responsible Authority's obligations under this paragraph
with regard to records maintained in his or her respective department. (Minn. Stat. § 13.03,
subd.1)
4
SECTION 2
CLASSIFICATION OF GOVERNMENT DATA
For the purposes of these guidelines, government data is divided into three types: (a) data on
individuals, which is classified as either public, private, private data on decedents, confidential,
or confidential data on decedents; (b) data not on individuals, which is classified as either public,
nonpublic or protected nonpublic, and (c) statistical or summary data derived from data on
individuals. All government data is presumed to be public unless a State Statute, Temporary
Classification or Federal law (includes federal Rules and federal court decisions) classifies the
data as not public. The classifications, the criteria for classification and the description of
who has access are contained in the following:
A. Public Data on Individuals
1. Definition. Public Data on Individuals means data on individuals, living or dead, which
is accessible to the public. (Minn. Stat. § 13.02, subd. 15) Data on individuals means data in
which a natural person is or can be identified as the subject of the data, unless the
appearance of the name or other identifying data is clearly incidental to the data and the data
is not accessed by the name or other identifying data of any individual. (Minn. Stat. § 13.02,
subd. 5)
2. Data on individuals Is Public If:
a. A statute or Federal lazy substantially requires that certain data on individuals
be made available to the public.
b. A state, local or Federal lazv requires the collection of data on individuals and a
statute or Federal lazy does not classify the data private or confidential.
The data is collected without any specific enabling authority to do so and is not
classified by either State Statute or Federal lazy even though the data is
necessary for administration and management.
d. An application for Temporary Classification for private or confidential data on
individuals is disapproved or rejected by the Commissioner of Administration
or the Attorney General.
e. A Temporary Classification or statutory classification expires.
The data is summary or statistical data derived from private or confidential data
5
on individuals and the summary or statistical data is not classified by State
Statute or Federal lazy as "not public." (See Section 6, "Summary Data ".)
g. Private or confidential data becomes public in order to comply with either
judicial or administrative Rules pertaining to the conduct of legal actions (for
example, private or confidential data presented in court and made public by the

SECTION 3
TEMPORARY CLASSIFICATION
Unless a State Statute or federal laze expressly classifies government data as not public
data (i.e., private, confidential, nonpublic or protected nonpublic), the data is public and
accessible to anyone. The.Temporary Classification system was put into the Act as a means
to classify data when an agency has a compelling reason to protect the data and a State
Statute or Federal law does not expressly do so.
A Temporary Classification may be'defined"as an application made by a state agency,
statezoide system or political subdivision and approved by the Commissioner of
Administration and the Attorney General, which temporarily classifies government data as
private or confidential data on individuals, or nonpublic or protected nonpublic data not on
individuals. (Minn. Stat. § 13.06)
The Temporary Classification process begins with an application to the Commissioner
of Administration. Two sample application forms are contained in Exhibits B and C. One
of the forms is an application to classify data on individuals as either private or confidential,
and the second form is an application to classify data not on individuals as either nonpublic
or protected nonpublic.
A. Temporary Classification for Data on individuals.
An application for a Temporary Classification of private or confidential for data on individuals
must establish that:
1. no statute or federal laze currently exists which either allows or forbids classification
as private or confidential; and
2. , either:
a. similar data has been treated as either private or confidential by other state
agencies or political subdivisions and by the public; or
b. a compelling need exists for immediate Temporary Classification which if
not granted could adversely affect the public interest or the health, safety,
well -being or reputation of the data subject. (Minn. Stat. § 13.06, subd. 2)
B. Temporary Classification for Data not on individuals.
16
An application for a Temporary Classification of nonpublic or protected nonpublic for data
not on individuals must establish that:
1. no statute or Federal lan; currently exists which either allows or forbids classification
as nonpublic or protected nonpublic; and
2. either:
a. similar data has been treated as nonpublic or protected nonpublic by other
agencies or political subdivisions and the public; or
b. public access to the data would render unworkable a program authorized by
law; or
C. a compelling need exists for immediate Temporary Classification which if not
granted could adversely affect the health, safety, or welfare of the public.
(Minn. Stat. § 13.06, subd. 3)
C. Determination of the Commissioner of Administration
Upon receiving the application, the Commissioner of Administration, as well as the
Attorney General and the legislature, may make one of several determinations:
1. Upon application to the Commissioner of Administration, the data is classified as
requested by the application for 45 days or until the application is disapproved, rejected
or granted by the Commissioner of Administration, whichever is earlier. If the Data
Privacy Division requires additional information in support of the application, the
application is deemed to have been filed on the date that the additional information is
received by the Data Privacy Division. (Minn. Stat. § 13.06, subd. 1; Minn. Rules, Pt.
1205.1800, subp. 3)
2. If the Commissioner determines that an application has been submitted for reasons
not consistent with the Act, s /he may immediately reject the application and the data shall
have the same classification it had before the application. (Minn. Stat. § 13.06, subd. 1)
3. The Commissioner may consider broadening an agency's application for Temporary
Classification so that it has statewide effect. In this case, the data is classified as requested
for a period of up to 90 days. (Minn. Stat. § 13.06, subd. 4)
4. The Commissioner may grant a Temporary Classification of government data as either
private or confidential for data on individuals or nonpublic or protected nonpublic for data not on
individuals. A Temporary Classification which is granted by the Commissioner is effective
immediately and the record effecting the approval is sent to the Attorney General. (Minn.
17
Stat. § 13.06, subd. 5)
5. The Attorney General has 25 days to approve the classification granted by the
Commissioner, approve a change in classification from confidential to private, or disapprove
the classification. If the Attorney General disapproves a classification,, the data becomes
public 5 working days after the date of disapproval. (Minn. Stat. § 13.06, subd. 5)
6. On or before January 15 of each year, the Commissioner shall submit all Temporary
Classifications in effect on January 1 in bill form to the legislature. (Minn. Stat. § 13.06, subd.
7. Data which the Commissioner disapproves for Temporary Classification becomes
public data 20 days after the date of disapproval. (Minn. Stat. § 13.06, subd. 5)
8. An amended application may be filed, requesting the classification deemed
appropriate by the Commissioner in a previous statement of disapproval, or setting forth
additional information relating to the original application. Data on such an amended
application will be classified as requested for a period of 20 days or until the Commissioner
grants or disapproves the request. If the amended application is disapproved, the data
becomes public 5 working days after the date of the Commissioner's disapproval. (Minn.
Stat. § 13.06, subd. 5)
9. A Temporary Classification which is not enacted into law by the legislature shall
expire 10 days after the end of the second complete regular session that follows the
Commissioner's granting of the Temporary Classification. (Minn. Stat. § 13.06, subd. 6)
D. Application for Temporary Classification.
1. All requests for Temporary Classification must be approved by the Responsible
Authority before any application is submitted to the Commissioner of Administration.
2. The application forms contained in Exhibits B and C may be copied and used IF you
FIRST check with the State's Data Practices Division to be sure that these forms are the
latest revision. The application forms contain the necessary instructions for their
completion. If any questions arise regarding the application, contact the Data Practices
Division at (612) 296 -6733.
E. Recordkeeping Requirements
If an application for Temporary Classification is granted, the Responsible Authority will
provide a copy of the notice of approval to every department head for distribution to
department employees. The Responsible Authority will maintain a record of each
application for Temporary Classification, whether the application was granted or denied, and
the expiration date of each granted application.
SECTION 4

information from him or her.
1. Every department that asks an individual to supply private or confidential data
concerning him /herself shall, prior to collecting the data, inform the individual of his /her
rights as a subject of data. These rights include the Tennessen Warning which is one of the
fundamental requirements of the Act.
2. A Tennessen Warning is required when:
❑ an individual;
❑ is asked;
❑ to supply;
❑ private or confidential data;
❑ concerning himself or herself.
3. A Tennessen Warning is not required:
a. when collecting public data on an individual;
b. when private and confidential data is collected from an individual who is not the
subject of the data (i.e., an individual giving information on someone else);
when an individual is asked to supply investigative data to a law enforcement
officer pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 13.82, Subdivision 5 (Minn.
Stat. § 13.04, subd. 2); or
d. when an individual volunteers private or confidential information about
him /herself without being asked.
4. Contents of Tennessen Warning. The Tennessen Warning consists of the following
information that must be communicated to the individual from whom private or confidential
data concerning him /herself is collected:
19
a. the purpose and intended use of the requested private or confidential data
within the City;
b. whether the individual may refuse or is legally required to supply the
requested private or confidential data;
C. any known consequences arising from the individual's supplying private or
confidential data; or
d. any known consequences arising from the individual's refusing to supply
private or confidential data; and
e. the identity of other persons or entities authorized by state or Federal laze to
receive the data. (Minn. Stat. § 13.04, subd. 2)
NOTE: Unless otherwise provided for by law (e.g., education and medical data), the
Responsible Authority or designee must provide minors from whom private or
confidential data is collected with a notification that the minor individual has the
right to request that parental access to the private data be denied. This notification
should be in writing and may be contained on the Tennessen Warning. (See Section
10, "Parental Access to Data on Minors ") (Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.0500, subp. 3.A.)
NOTE: In accordance with the Federal Privacy Act of 1974, "any Federal, State, or
local government agency which requests an individual to disclose his social security
account number shall inform that individual whether that disclosure is mandatory
or voluntary, by what statutory or other authority such number is solicited and
what uses will be made of it." (See Section 14, "Use of the Social Security Number".)
5. Restrictions on Use of Data. Private and confidential data may not be collected,
stored, used or disseminated for any purpose other than those stated to the individual in the

the Responsible Authority.
B. Administering Tennessen Warnings
1. Depending upon the sensitivity of the information collected or the sensitivity of an
individual to personal privacy, Tennessen Warnings may be:
a. An oral communication. This is not the preferred method of communicating
the Tennessen Warning, and it may be used only when necessary under the
circumstances (i.e., collecting private or confidential data over the telephone).
If an oral communication is necessary, the specific language communicated
must be in written form (for example, a card from which a City staff person
reads the "Warning ").
b. A written communication requiring the signature of the data subject (i.e., a
signature attesting that the individual from whom private or confidential data
is collected has read and understands his rights as a subject of data).
C. A written communication not requiring a signature. This may be, for
example, a brochure, booklet, pamphlet or a single sheet which is handed to
the individual prior to collecting the data.
2. Whenever possible, the Tennessen Warning should be included on the form that
collects the private or confidential data.

INFORMED CONSENT FOR THE RELEASE OF DATA
A. Why and When Informed consent is Needed
1. In general, private data on an individual may be collected, stored, used and
disseminated only for those purposes stated to the individual data subject at the time the data
was collected. (See Section 4, "Tennessen Warning ") (Minn. Stat. § 13.04, subd. 4)
2. However, private data on individuals may be used by and disseminated to any
individual or agency by the Responsible Authority or the designee if the individual subject or
subjects of the data have given their informed consent (Minn. Stat. § 13.05, subd. 4(d)).
NOTE: Except when expressly provided for by law, informed consent cannot authorize a
new purpose or a new use of con dential data on individuals.
3. An informed consent or authorization for the release of information is needed in order
to:
a. use private data for a purpose that was not stated to the individual data subject
in the Tennessen Warning given at the time the data was collected; or
b. provide access to private data to a person, entity or agency other than those
stated to the individual data subject in the Tennessen Warning given at the time
the data was collected.
4. An informed consent is not needed:
a. to use private data on individuals for any lawful purpose which was
communicated to the subject of the data on the Tennessen Warning at the time
the data was collected;
b. when a new use or dissemination is specifically authorized by a federal, state
or local law enacted after the data was collected (Minn. Stat. § 13.05, subd.
4(b)), or
C. when the Responsible Authority has requested and received approval from the
Commissioner of Administration for a new or different use or dissemination

B. Requirements for Informed Consent
23
1. All informed consents must be in writing on a form provided by the City and
approved by the Responsible Authority. The informed consent form must describe the
necessity for or consequences of the giving of informed consent, including the consequences
of the new or different purpose or use of the data. Informed consents that are not on a City
form may be accepted if the Responsible Authority determines that the consent provided is
substantially similar to a City informed consent form.
2. An informed consent must be signed by the individual data subject or, in the case of a
minor or a person adjudged mentally incompetent, by the data subject's parent or guardian
or, in the absence of a parent or guardian, by the person acting as the parent or guardian.
(Minn. Stat. § 13.02, subd. 8)
3. For data security reasons, the signature of the data subject should be witnessed. If the
signature is not witnessed, the Responsible Authority or designee must make reasonable
attempts to verify the signature as belonging to the data subject. Reasonable attempts at
verification include:

confirms that s /he signed the "informed consent "; or
d. the data subject personally appears before the Responsible Authority or designee,
presents identification, and either signs the "informed consent" or verbally
confirms that the signature on the "Informed consent" is his /hers.
4. No City employee shall take any action to coerce any data subject to give an informed
consent. (Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.1400, subp. 4.A.)
5. Informed consent shall not be deemed to have been given by an individual subject of
the data by the signing of any statement authorizing any entity or person to disclose
information about him or her to an insurer or its authorized representative, unless the
statement is:
a. in plain language;
b. dated;
C. specific in designating the particular persons or agencies the data subject is
authorizing to disclose information about him or her;
24
d. specific as to the nature of the information s /he is authorizing to be

to be disclosed;
f. specific as to the purpose or purposes for which the information may be used
by any of the parties named in clause (c), both at the time of the disclosure
and at any time in the future;
g. specific as to its expiration date which should be within a reasonable period
of time, not to exceed one year except in the case of authorizations given in
connection with applications for life insurance or non - cancelable or
guaranteed renewable health insurance and identified as such, two years
after the date of the policy. (Minn. Stat. § 13.05, subd. 4(d); Minn. Rules, Pt.
1205.1400, subp. 5)
6. An example of an "Informed consent" form is contained in Exhibit F.
C. Implied Consent
1. The Responsible Authority may deem informed consent to have been given, even in the
absence of a written consent signed by the data subject, under the following limited
circumstances:
a. informed consent is needed to authorize a new or different use of the data by
the City; and
b. the Responsible Authority or designee has made reasonable efforts to obtain the
informed consent of the data subject but those efforts are not acknowledged in
any way. (Minn. Stat. § 13.05, subd. 4 (d); Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.1400, subp.
4.C.)
2. "Reasonable efforts" means:
a. depositing in the United States mail, postage prepaid and directed to the last
known address of the data subject, at least two communications requesting
informed consent; and
b. waiting for a period of not less than 60 days for a response to the second
request. (Minn. Stat. § 13.05, subd. 4 (d); Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.1400, subp.
4.C.)
3. Upon the expiration of the 60 day period, the Responsible Authority may interpret the
silence of the data subject as the giving of an implied consent to the new or different
purpose or use of the data, and the Responsible Authority may implement the new or
25
different purpose or use as though a signed consent had been received. (Minn. Stat. §
13.05, subd. 4 (d); Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.1400, subp. 4.C.)
NOTE: Implied consent may not be used to authorize the dissemination of private data to
any person or entity not stated in the Tennessen Warning. Implied consent may be used only
to authorize a new or different use or purpose for data within the City.

SECTION 6
SUMMARY DATA
A. Requests for Summary Data.
1. Definition of Summary Data. "Summary data" means statistical records and reports
derived from data on individuals but in which individuals are not identified and from which
neither their identities nor any other characteristic that could uniquely identify an
individual is ascertainable. (Minn. Stat. § 13.02, subd.. 19.)
2. Classification. Unless classified by a state statute, federal laze or Temporary
Classification, summary data derived from private or confidential data on individuals is public.
(Minn. Stat. § 13.05, subd. 7.)
3. Duty to Prepare. The Responsible Authority or designee shall prepare the Summary
Data upon the request of any person, if: (a) the request is in writing in a form provided by
the City; and (b) the requesting person pays the cost of preparing the Summary Data. (Minn.
Stat. § 13.05, subd. 7; Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.0700) The Responsible Authority may delegate the
power to prepare Summary Data to a City administrative officer responsible for any central
repository of Summary Data or to a person outside of the City, including the requesting
person, provided that the outside person signs a non - disclosure agreement, as described in
paragraph 6 below.
4. Methods of Preparation. Methods of preparing Summary Data include but are not
limited to the following:
a. removing from a set of data, a file, or a recordkeeping system all unique
personal identifiers so that the data that remains fulfills the definition of
summary data as defined by the Act; and
b. removing from the entity's report of any incident, or from any collection of
data similar to an incident report, all unique personal identifiers so that the
resulting report fulfills the definition of summary data as defined by the Act.
The phrase "removing all unique personal identifiers" includes but is not limited to
blacking out personal identifiers on paper records, tearing off or cutting out the portions
of paper records that contain the personal identifiers, and programming computers in such
a way that printed, terminal, or other forms of output do not contain personal identifiers.
(Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.0700, subp. 6.) "Unique personal identifiers" means any data that
identifies an individual in itself or can be used in connection with other data elements to
27
uniquely identify an individual, including, but not limited to name, street address, job title,
and so forth where the particular data could only describe or identify one individual. (Minn.
Rules, Pt. 1205.0200, subp. 4.)
5. Time for Response. Within 10 days of receipt of a request for Summary Data, the
Responsible Authority or designee shall inform the requestor of the estimated costs of
preparing the Summary Data, if any, and either:
a. Provide the Summary Data requested; or
b. Provide a written statement to the requestor, giving a time schedule for
preparing the requested data, including reasons for any delays; or
Provide access to the requestor to the private or confidential data so that the
requestor can compile the Summary Data. Such access will be provided only
when the requestor signs a nondisclosure agreement (see below); or
d. Provide a written statement to the requestor stating reasons why the
requestor's access would compromise the private or confidential data. (Minn.
Rules, Pt. 1205.0700, subp. 4.)
6. Non - disclosure agreement. A non - disclosure agreement (see Exhibit G) must be
obtained whenever the person who prepares the Summary Data is an "outside person," i.e.,
not a City employee. A non - disclosure agreement must contain at least the following:
a. a general description of the private or confidential data which is being used
to prepare Summary Data (Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.0700, subp. 5); and
b. the purpose for which the Summary Data is being prepared (Minn. Rules, Pt.
1205.0700, subp. 5); and
a statement that the preparer understands s /he may be subject to the civil or
criminal penalty provisions of the Act in the event that the private or
confidential data is disclosed (Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.0700, subp. 5); and
d. a section in which the preparer agrees not to disclose data in any form that
would identify or tend to identify an individual, and that he also agrees to
defend and indemnify the City and any of its employees in any legal actions
brought as a result of his /her having access to private or confidential data;
and
e. a description of the civil and criminal penalty provisions of the Act; and
f. the signature of the preparer and the Responsible Authority or designee.
7. Costs of Preparing Summary Data. The requesting person must pay all costs of
preparing the Summary Data.
a. The costs to be assessed include: (i) copy charges as set forth in Exhibit H,
amended from time to time by the Responsible Authority; (ii) actual labor
charges incurred by the City, which shall be determined by multiplying the
hourly rate of the employee preparer times the total hours or portion thereof
spent in preparing the summary data; (iii) any special costs necessary to
produce copies from machine based record keeping systems, including but
not limited to computers and microfilm systems; (iv) mailing costs; (v) costs
or fees incurred when preparation of the summary data is referred to an
outside person other than the requesting person. (Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.0300,
subp. 4; Pt. 1205.0700, subp. 7.)
b. When the summary data being requested requires only copying and no other
preparation, only reasonable copying costs may be charged. (Minn. Rules,
Pt. 1205.0700, subp. 7.)
If the summary data prepared has value to the City and the Responsible
Authority deems it appropriate, the Responsible Authority shall determine the
reasonable value of the Summary Data to the City and reduce the costs
assessed to the requesting person. (Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.0700, subp. 7.)
d. The estimated cost of preparing the summary data must be collected from the
requesting person prior to preparing the summary data. The requesting person
must pay the balance of actual costs, if any, before the summary data will be
provided to the requesting person. If the estimated cost paid by the requesting
person exceeds the actual cost, the difference must be promptly refunded to
the requesting person.

nonpublic data may not be released to the data subject over the telephone unless the
authorized employee recognizes the voice of the requesting person as belonging to
the data subject.
2. For all requests by other government agencies for which the data is not routinely
shared or provided in the normal course of business.
3. For requests for Public Data on Individuals, when a fee is assessed.
NOTE: An individual who requests public data may not be required to provide his
or her name, address or other identifying information (except when copies are to be
mailed to the individual) -- only the transaction is recorded.
4. For requests for government data when access is denied and the requestor asks for the
"written certification of denial" required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 13.03, subdivision 3.
C. Guidelines for Use.
1. Designees shall instruct all Authorized Employees on the correct use of the form. The
Responsible Authority or designee will assist in instruction when requested.
37
2. The "Information Disclosure Request" is divided into 4 sections:
a. Section A records requestor identification information. The name, address
and other identifying information cannot be required of an individual
requesting public government data (except where copies are to be mailed).
Personal identifying information may be required for requests of data
classified as other than public.
b. Section B records the action taken by the designee. This section is always
completed by the Responsible Authority, designee or other authorized
employee.
C. Section C records, when applicable, information pertaining to fees to be
charged and collected. See Section 9, "fees for copies of Government Data ".
Item 11 provides for the calculation of the "Flat Rate ". The total amount due
is entered, as applicable, in item 13. The current "Flat Rate" Is contained in
Exhibit I.
3. Copy Distribution:
a. Original: Retain in a separate file in the department. The retention of this
form shows the number and types of requests for data, and provides a
written record of the actions taken when questions or problems occur.
b. A copy to the requestor. The original serves as a record of the transaction as
well as the final receipt of any monies received. If more than one receipt is
needed, make photocopies.
SECTION 9

SECTION 10
PARENTAL ACCESS TO DATA ON MINORS
A. Access to a Minor's Data by Parents, Guardians, or an Individual Acting as a
Parent or Guardian In the Absence of a Parent or Guardian.
1. A parent or guardian or, in the absence of a parent or guardian, an individual acting
as a parent or guardian, shall have access to all public government data on a minor data
subject. A parent, guardian or, in the absence of a parent or guardian, an individual acting
as a parent or guardian shall have access to all private government data on a minor data
subject unless otherwise specifically denied access by a State Statute or Federal law. (Minn.
Stat. § 13.02, subd. 8; Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.0500)
2. The Responsible Authority and designee shall presume that a parent has the authority
to exercise rights of the minor inherent in the Act unless the Responsible Authority or designee
has been provided with evidence that there is a State Law or court order governing such
matters as divorce, separation, or custody, or a legally binding instrument which provides
to the contrary. (Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.0500, subp. 2.13.)
B. Notification to Minors.
1. Unless otherwise provided for by law (e.g., educational and medical data), the
Responsible Authority or the designee shall provide minors from whom private or
confidential data is collected with a notification that the minor individual has the right to
request that parental access to the private data be denied. This notification should be in
writing and may be contained in the Tennessen Warning. (Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.0500, subp.
3) (See Section 4, " Tennessen Warning ")
2. A minor data subject who desires that parental access be denied must submit to the
Responsible Authority or designee a written request that the data be withheld. The written
request must set forth the reasons for denying parental access and must be signed by the
minor. (Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.0500, subp. 3.A.)
3. Upon receipt of the written request, the Responsible Authority or the designee shall
determine if honoring the request to deny parental access is in the best interest of the
minor. In making the determination, the Responsible Authority or the designee shall be
guided by the following considerations:
a. whether the minor is of sufficient age and maturity to be able to explain the
reasons for and to understand the consequences of the request to deny
access;
42
b. whether the personal situation of the minor is such that denying parental
access may protect the minor from physical or emotional harm;
C. whether there is ground for believing that the minor's reasons for precluding
parental access are reasonably accurate;
d. whether the data in question is of such a nature that disclosure of it to the
parent could lead to physical or emotional harm to the minor data subject; and
e. whether the data concerns medical, dental or other health services provided
pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, sections 144.341 to 144.347. If so, the data
may be released only if failure to inform the parent would seriously
jeopardize the health of the minor. (Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.0500, subp. 3.B.)
4. Without a request from a minor, the Responsible Authority may deny parental access
to private data on a minor pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, section 144.335
(Access to Health Records) or any other statute or Federal lazy that allows or requires the
Responsible Authority the authority to do so, if such State Statute or Federal lazu provides
standards which limit the exercise of the discretion of the Responsible Authority. (Minn.
Rules Pt. 1205.0500, subp. 5)
43
SECTION 11
CHALLENGING THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF DATA
A. Right to Contest.
An individual subject of data may contest the accuracy and completeness of public and
private data concerning him /herself.
B. Procedure for Contesting Accuracy or Completeness.
1. Written Request Required. An individual who wishes to contest the accuracy and
completeness of public or private data about him/ herself must submit a written notice to
the Responsible Authority or designee. The written notice shall contain the following:
a. The name, address and phone number of the appealing party (provisions
may be made for an individual who wishes to remain anonymous).
b. A description of the claimed inaccuracy or incompleteness of the data in
question.
A list of past recipients of the data, if any, that the appealing party wishes to
have notified, if the data is found to be inaccurate or incomplete.
2. Decision. Within 30 days, the designee or Responsible Authority must either correct
the data found to be inaccurate or incomplete and attempt to notify past recipients of
inaccurate or incomplete data, including recipients named by the individual, or notify the
individual that the designee or Responsible Authority believes the data to be correct. (Minn.
Stat. § 13.05, subd. 4) The Responsible Authority or designee should provide the data subject
with: a written statement which informs the data subject of his or her right to appeal; and
a copy of Minnesota Rules, Part 1205.1600.
3. Right to Appeal. An adverse decision of the Responsible Authority regarding the
accuracy and completeness of public or private data may be appealed to the Commissioner
of Administration. A notice of appeal must be filed with the Commissioner within 180
days after the Responsible Authority's or designee's decision or within 60 days if the
Responsible Authority provides a written statement which informs the data subject of his or
her right to appeal. The procedures for this appeal are contained in Minnesota Rules, Part
1205.1600. (Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.1600, subp. 2)
4. Correcting Data. When an individual successfully challenges the accuracy or
44
completeness of data about him/ herself, the Responsible Authority or designee must complete,
correct, or destroy the challenged data, without regard to the requirements of Minnesota
Statutes, Section 138.17. The Responsible Authority may retain a copy of the Commissioner
of Administration's order or, if no order was issued, a summary of the dispute between the
parties that does not contain any particulars of the successfully challenged data.
45
SECTION 12
INTERNAL ACCESS AND SECURITY PROCEDURES
A. Appointment of the Responsible Authority.
As required by the Act, the City Council has appointed a Responsible Authority, who has full
administrative authority to carry out the duties assigned by the Act and Minnesota Rules,
Chapter 1205. (Minn. Stat. § 13.02, subd. 16; Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.2000.)" A copy of the
resolution appointing the Responsible Authority is found at Exhibit J.
Minnesota Statutes, section 13.05 lists the duties of the Responsible Authority in
administering the Act. Exhibit K contains a "Data Practices Act Compliance Checklist"
outlining the duties and responsibilities of the Responsible Authority in administering the
Act.
B. Assignment of Designees.
Minnesota Statutes, section 13.03, subd. 2 provides that the Reponsible Authority may
appoint one or more designees to assist in performing the duties required of the Responsible
Authority under the Act. The Responsible Authority, with the advice and cooperation of the
department head, shall assign in writing one or more designees. The designee is the person
in charge of individual files or systems containing government data and who receives and
complies with requests for government data. A list of designees is found at Exhibit L. The
Responsible Authority shall update Exhibit L as necessary to assure that the list is at all times
accurate.
C. Security Safeguards for Government Data.
1. Access to Not Public Data by City Employees. Only those employees whose job
responsibilities require them to have access will be allowed access to files and records that
contain not public data. The department head, with the advice and consent of the Responsible
Authority, must determine which positions require access to not public data and must inform
and instruct all department employees regarding the records to which employees are and
are not allowed access.
2. Intraoffice Communications. Employees shall exercise care not to discuss, disclose,
or otherwise release the contents of not public data to City employees whose job
responsibilities do not require access to the data.
3. Removal of Data Restricted. Data that is classified as not public must be kept and
46
filed only in City offices, and employees may not keep or maintain files of Not public data
at their homes. Employees may take not public data outside of City offices for up to one day
only when necessary for attending to City business and only with prior approval of the
appropriate department head. Removal of any not public data for more than one day
requires prior written approval by the appropriate department head and the Responsible
Authority. All department heads shall maintain a sign -out sheet for City files, which must
contain the file identifying information, the date(s) the file was checked out and returned,
the purpose for which the file was removed from City offices, the name of the employee
who checked out the file, and the signed initials of the employee who checked out the file.
No employee may remove public or not public data from City offices, where the data is the
original, official, or only record maintained by the City, except as authorized by the
appropriate department head and the Responsible Authority.
4. Security Safeguards. All employees whose job responsibilities require them to have
access to private or confidential data on individuals shall adhere to the following security
safeguards:
a. Desks and file cabinets that contain private or confidential data must be locked
during hours when the department is closed.
b. Employees shall not leave private or confidential data in view in areas where
the general public or non - authorized employees have ready access.
C. Employees must shred private or confidential data before placing into trash
cans or into recycling bins.
d. Paper containing private or confidential data may not be used as "scratch"
paper.
e. Employees must not disclose their computer access codes to any other
employee. It is preferable that employees memorize their computer access
codes. However, if an employee determines it is necessary to keep a written
reminder of the employee's access code, the employee should keep the code
in a secure location, such as a locked desk drawer.
f. Floppy discs and other magnetic /film media which contain private or
confidential data shall be stored in a secured area when not in use.
g. To the greatest extent practicable, files that contain private or confidential data
should be clearly labeled to that effect.
h. A record must be made of every request for private or confidential data on
individuals. (See Section 8, "Information Disclosure Request Form ")
47
5. Contractor Access to Data. When a contract between the City and any person or
entity requires that data on individuals be made available to the contracting party(ies) by the
City, that data must be administered consistent with the Act. The contracting party must
maintain the data on individuals which it received according to the statutory provisions
applicable to the data. (Minn. Stat. § 13.05, subd. 6) To ensure that the contracting party
complies with the Act, every party who contracts with the City (where contract
performance requires that the party have access to data on individuals) shall execute an
agreement in which the contracting party agrees to comply with the Act and to indemnify
the City against any claim caused by the contracting party's failure to do so. Example
agreements are shown at Exhibit M. The Responsible Authority shall maintain a file of all
such agreements. This provision applies to all contracting parties whose contracts require
access to data on individuals including, without limitation, insurance companies and claims
adjusters, city attorney, prosecuting attorney, and labor consultants.
6. Training. The Responsible Authority shall provide or arrange for every new City
employee to receive instruction regarding the basic requirements of the Act and of this
policy. The Responsible Authority shall conduct or arrange for at least one training session
per year for all designees, to review the requirements of the Act and to inform designees of
recent changes in the Act. The Responsible Authority shall promptly inform designees of all
legislative enactments that change a data classification or change procedural requirements
under the Act.
SECTION 13
REPORTING AND REVIEW REQUIREMENTS
A. Reporting Requirements.
1. Creation of Public Document. The Act requires that the Responsible Authority
prepare a public document containing the authority's name, title and address, and a
description of each category of record, file, or process relating to private or confidential data
on individuals that is maintained by the City. The public document must also include: the
name, title and address of designees appointed by the Responsible Authority; identification
of the files or systems for which each designee is responsible; and a citation of the State
Statute or Federal lazy which classifies each type.of data as private or confidential. All forms
used to collect private and confidential data must be included in the public document. The
public document must be updated annually by August 1. (Minn. Stat. § 13.05, subd. 1;
Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.1200, subp. 3)
2. Inventory of Data. The state rules that implement the Act require that the
Responsible Authority prepare a list or index to all data or types of data currently collected,
stored, used, or disseminated by the entity. The list or index must identify the State Statute,
Federal laze, or local ordinance that authorizes the programs or functions for which the data
is collected, or which authorizes the actual collection, storage, use, or dissemination of data
or types of data. The list or index is a public document, and it must be updated whenever
a new statute, law, or ordinance or an amendment to an existing statute, law, or ordinance,
authorizes new or different collection, storage, use or dissemination. (Minn. Rules, Pt.
1205.1500, subp. 3) For each type of record, file, or process that involves private or
confidential data, the list or index must also identify: (a) the uses of and purposes for the
collection of the data and (b) all persons, agencies, or entities authorized by state or Federal
laze to receive any data disseminated from the particular record, file or process. (Minn.
Rules, Pt. 1205.1300, subp. 4)
3. Identification of Data Collected Prior to August 1, 1975. The state Rules that
implement the Act require that the Responsible Authority determine, for each record, file or
process that involves private or confidential data on individuals, whether the data contained
therein was collected prior to, on, or subsequent to August 1, 19.75. Private or confidential
data on individuals that was collected prior to August 1, 1975, may not be used, stored, or
disseminated for any purpose, except the purposes listed in the public document prepared
by the Responsible Authority. (Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.1300, subps.1 and 2; Minn. Stat. § 13.05,
subd. 4(a).
B. Data Practices Annual Report.

50
of all form(s) used to collect private or confidential data on individuals.
C. Data Practices Review Requirements.
1. Plan for data review and analysis. The Act and the Rules require that the City
establish a plan to review and analyze the data administration practices of the City. (Minn.
Stat. § 13.05, subd. 5; Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.1500) Pursuant to the City's plan, the Responsible
Authority has established mechanisms and procedures, more fully described in the
paragraphs below, to ensure that data collected on individuals is accurate, complete, current
and necessary. As used in this policy, these terms have the following meanings:
a. "Accurate" means that the data in question is reasonably correct and free from
error. (Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.1500, subp. 2.A.)
b. "Complete" means that the data in question reasonably reflects the history of
an individual's transactions with the particular entity. Omissions in an
individual's history that place the individual in a false light shall not be
permitted. (Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.1500, subp. 2.B.)
C. "Current" means that the data in question must be logically related to the
entity's required and actual use of the data in its day to day operations.
(Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.1500, subp. 2.C.)
d. "Necessary" means that: (i) the particular data is both required to carry out
programs and functions that are expressly or impliedly authorized by a
provision of state statute, federal lazy, or a local ordinance, and periodically
examined, updated, modified, or referred to by the City; or (ii) the City would
be unable to fulfill its duties without undue or increased burden or expense,
if the particular data were not collected, stored, used, or disseminated; or (iii)
retention of the particular data is required in the event that a legal action is
brought against or by the City; or (iv) retention of the particular data is
essential to comply with a state or federal requirement that data be retained
for a specified period for the purposes of auditing, records retention,
historical interest, and other similar purposes. (Minn. Rules, Pt. 1205.1500,
subp. 4.)
2. Procedures to be followed. To ensure that data collected on individuals is accurate,
complete, current, and necessary, all employees who collect, use, or disseminate data on
individuals must adhere to the following procedures:
a. At the time that data is collected from the individual data subject, the individual
should be advised of his or her right to review and contest the accuracy or
completeness of public or private data concerning him /herself. (See Section
4, "Rights of Subjects of Data - The Tennessen Warning" and Section 11,
51
"Challenging the Accuracy and Completeness of Data. ")
b. An individual data subject should be encouraged to review his /her file for
accuracy, completeness and currency.
C. Whenever possible and practical, collect data about an individual from the
individual subject of the data rather than from third parties (e.g., birthdate,
address, etc.). (This directive does not prohibit employees from collecting
data from third parties.)
d. Design forms to collect objective types of data elements whenever possible,
rather than data which calls for an opinion or conclusion or other subjective
entry. Forms for the collection of data on individuals should request only
necessary data.
e. Department heads should periodically review forms used to collect data on
individuals. Data elements that are not necessary or that lend themselves to
ambiguity or subjectivity should be removed and the forms redesigned.
f.- Department heads should periodically conduct quality/ validity checks on
sample case files that contain data on individuals.
g. Each department head shall provide instruction and training to new
employees regarding: (i) what records the employee will be required to
maintain that include data on individuals; (ii) how to accurately record
information provided by an individual; and (iii) the procedures for correcting
inaccurate data (see Section 11, "Challenging the Accuracy and Completeness
of Data "). If an employee discovers an inaccuracy in any individual data
subject's record, the employee shall correct the inaccuracy by including in the
data subject's record a writing that identifies the inaccuracy and the correct
information and explains the basis for the change to the record.
h. All records shall be disposed of according to the State General Records
Retention Schedule adopted by the City.
i. All forms used to collect private or confidential data must be reviewed by the
Responsible Authority or designee and attached to the Data Practices Annual
Report. The "Forms Analysis Worksheet" as illustrated in Exhibit O may be
used for the analysis and review of new and revised forms.
52
SECTION 14
USE OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
A. Federal Law Requirements.
1. Use is restricted. Under federal laze, the City may not compel the disclosure of an
individual's social security number or deny any individual any right, benefit, or privilege
provided by law because of the individual's refusal to disclose his social security number,
EXCEPT that disclosure may be compelled and benefits may be denied for refusal to
disclose if:
a. disclosure of the social security number is required by federal statute; or
b. disclosure is required by a statute or regulation adopted prior to January 1,
1975, for the purpose of verifying the identity of an individual, in connection
with a system of records operated by a federal, state or local agency prior to
January 1, 1975. (P. L. 93 -579, ❑ 7, 88 Stat.1909)
2. When disclosure may be compelled. Federal lazu permits any State or political
subdivision of a state to require disclosure of an individual's social security number and to
use an individual's social security number for the purpose of establishing the identity of the
individual, in the administration of a tax, general public assistance, driver's license, or motor
vehicle registration law within its jurisdiction. (42 U.S.C. ❑ 405 (c)(2)(C).) For example, the
State of Minnesota requires that homestead applications must include property owners'
social security numbers. (Minn. Stat. §273.124, subd.13.)
3. Advisory required. A federal, state, or local government agency that requests an
individual to disclose his social security number must inform the individual whether the
disclosure is mandatory or voluntary, by what statutory or other authority such number
is solicited, and what uses will be made of it. (P. L. 93 -579, ❑ 7, 88 Stat.1909.)
4. Penalty for violation. A person who discloses, uses, or compels the disclosure of the
social security number of any person in violation of the laws of the United States is guilty
of a felony and subject to fine or imprisonment for up to five years, or both.
B. State Restrictions.
Federal law does not prevent cities from requesting voluntary disclosure of an individual's
social security number when disclosure cannot be compelled, provided that the individual
is informed that the disclosure is voluntary. State Law, however, restricts the collection of
53
data on individuals to that which is necessary for the administration and management of
programs specifically authorized by the legislature or local governing body or mandated
by the federal government. (Minn. Stat. § 13.05, subd. 3.)
C. Directions for Use of Social Security Number.
1. City policy on use of social security number. Social security numbers may be
requested from individuals only when collection or use of the social security number is
mandated by federal or State Law or when use of the social security number for purposes
of identifying an individual is essential to the performance or operation of City functions
that are required by federal or State Law.
2. Designing forms. All forms used for the collection of data on individuals and existing
as of the adoption of this policy have been reviewed for compliance with City policy
regarding the use of social security numbers. All forms designed after the date of adoption
of this policy, for the purpose of collecting data on individuals, must conform to the City
policy on the use of social security numbers. The Responsible Authority is required to review
and approve all forms used to collect private or confidential data on individuals.

APPLICATION BOARDS- COMMISSIONS/REWSED11 V99
Because Gabberts is the Architecture Partner for the Department of Decorative Arts,
Sculpture and Architecture at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, I have had the opportunity
on several occasions to work closely with the curators of that department. This past year
I worked on the Gabberts portion of the John Howe Exhibit and worked with members
of the Frank Lloyd Wright Conservancy in coordinating events around John Howe and
organic architecture. The previous year I worked on the same program but the subject
was Ralph Rapson and the modernist movement. These have both been superb learning
opportunities for me and complement my life long interest in 18th and 19th century
furnishings and architecture.
Thirty years ago, my husband and I bought and restored an 18th century house in
Massachusetts. That house taught us many things as we researched its history so that our
work, would be appropriate. When we moved to Minnesota, we identified the Country
Club area as the place we would live before even realizing that the neighborhood had a
name and historic significance. We simply circled the streets on a map and told the
realtor to find us a home there! We raised our family at 4216 Sunnyside Road from
1981 until we moved to our present home in 1996.
I had always noticed the little brown house on 50th Street and thought it had a very New
England flavor. I grew up near many homes designed by a Boston architect, Royal Bang
Wills. The house reminded me of that look. When it became available we bought it. My
good friend, Marilyn Curtis suggested we contact Gary Nyberg for our expansion. When
I spoke with Gary and he said the house had reminded him of Royal Barry Wills' work, I
knew he was the right person to help us. Because we've done most of the work
ourselves, we've had a wonderful chance to become part of the village feeling that is so
important.to 50th and France.
Edina occupies a unique place in Twin Cities history and needs to move into the future
with a firm awareness of the importance of its past. While I support the idea of buildings
in Edina providing for 21 st century needs, I believe that this can be accomplished in a
way that preserves historic character We must respect our past so that those who come
after us will understand how things came to be.
Although I have had significant volunteer commitment the past few years, I have not
been involved in Edina activities since my days as PTSO President, I truly feel that
participating in the Heritage Preservation Board would be a most appropriate way for me
to contribute to the town we've enjoyed living in for 20 years.

Subject: Wine in Grocery Stores
Dear Mayor Maetzold and Edina City Council Members:
As residents of Edina, we would like to express our strong support for
allowing the sale of wine in grocery stores. We have lived in Virginia where
grocery stores are allowed to sell wine and the State -run liquor stores are
the only place to buy liquor. We did not experience an uncontrollable problem
of youth access or rampant alcoholism because wine was available in the
grocery store. We feel that the proposal by the Minnesota Grocers is
reasonable and should be passed by the state legislature.
That being said, we were discouraged to see in the Sun Current that the Edina
City Council passed a resolution opposed to a change in the law. More than
that, we were incredibly surprised and disappointed by the fact that Edina
has contributed $10,000 to lobby against this reasonable proposal.
We understand that the revenues from Edina's sales of wine, beer and liquor
fund programs and park upkeep throughout the city. However, we don't believe
that the city should have a monopoly on what is generally a private business.
The bill would only allow wine sales and competition from the grocery stores
on that product. The Edina liquor stores will still sell significant amounts
and varieties of wine and ALL beer and liquor in the city.
The city's current monopoly brings no competition for consumers and therefore'
higher prices. As an example, for New Year's Eve we bought a bottle of
sparkling wine in a liquor store in Minneapolis for $8.99 on sale. The exact
same product at Edina Liquor was "on sale" for $12.99. This hardly qualifies
as convenience or good service for Edina residents. We believe a little
competition in this area is not only good for consumers but also for the
local grocery operators that contribute to the city's budget through taxes.
If this legislation passes, the city liquor stores will still have the
advantage of a broad selection and personal attention of knowledgeable staff
serving customers looking for a special bottle of wine.
Please rethink your decision to oppose wine sales in grocery stores and the
use of taxpayer dollars to fight a proposal supported by many of your
constituents.
Sincerely,
Mike and Anika Hagenson

don't be stupid, you are spending edina tax $$$ to turn this issue away, it

that never go to the municipal stores, you will have new revenue, cause so
many of us don't go to the municipal store cause the bigger stores have

Why are you spending my tax dollars opposing something that your constituents want? Come on it is
21 st century and I hope that you understand that prohibition has been over for many years? Why are
you opposing selling wine in grocery stores? Um ... let's look, all liquor stores in Edina are city owned,
basically communism, and if selling wine in grocery passes, the city will lose money.
Let me tell you, we don't care if the city loses money because wine is sold in grocery stores. It would
make our lives easier and more convenient and would catch us up with the rest of the country. So
please instead of giving $10,000 of Edina tax money opposing this bill please support it or don't do
anything. I truly do not understand your position. So Edina loses money selling wine, the city can
make it back selling liquor licenses. There are tons of new restaurants opening up by Southdale and
they all want to sell liquor. So, to compensate for the loss in wine sales increase the cost of liquor
licenses. Make them renewable every 5 years and suddenly there is no loss of revenue.
I used to work for the park board and an Edina liquor store so I fully understand where the money
that is made in the stores goes. And yes we have a great park department, but losing this money will
not equate to losing our great parks.

Let the Grocery Stores sell Wine and Beer!
I have lived in Edina for over 17 years. I grew up in the Country Club
neighborhood, and now am the owner of a home by Concord School. Edina has
many great aspects that make it an outstanding community to live in. Yet,
it has always been in the dark ages when it comes to alcohol sales.
Finally, we can get a drink in an Edina restaurant - that was only 50+ years
in the making. But now, it appears, that our elected officials will be
acting against the will of the people, to service their own needs.
Allowing Lunds. Jerry's and Cub to sell liquor, beer and wine will add to
the quality of life in Edina. No longer will community members be forced to
deal with making trips to two stores and the poor selection of the
municipal liquor stores. People will be allowed to pick out a bottle of
wine, complementing the meat or seafood special the grocer is running.
I think that if Edina government opposes this referendum, it blatantly
signifies their inability to creatively deal with an adverse situation. I
can understand that there will be a loss of income, if the muni's are
closed. SO WHAT! Find another way to create income, without raising taxes.
The ambulance fees seem to be a step in the right direction.
'f Edina is to be a stand out city in the state, we can not have a policy
.hat screams socialism. The community owed liquor stores have served their
place in history. It is time to let the private sector run these type of
businesses. It is time for private sector take risks on new products and
selections, instead of the same old, never changing muni selections. It is
time for the private sector to assume the responsibility of monitoring sales
to minors, protecting the city of unwanted lawsuits.
In closing. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Ironic as it may
seem, I do not drink. I just feel very strongly that it is time for this
change to take place.
thanks for your time.

Dear Mayor Maetzold,
I strongly support the sale of wine in grocery stores; hence the government
getting out of policing our freedoms and morals. I agree with the following
and hold you responsible for wasting tax dollars:
Unfortunately, elected officials in Edina are actively working against the
proposal - and using your tax dollars.
Not only has your city council passed a resolution opposing wine in grocery
stores - they have contributed $10,000 of city tax money to help pay for
lobbyists to work against it.
Some cities have said that allowing grocery stores to sell wine will hurt
sales at the municipal liquor store and that taxes would have to go up to
cover the loss. That is nonsense. Have your taxes been going down when
your city liquor store sells more wine? The bottom line is increased
competition is usually good for consumers, not bad.

Mayor Maetzold, Council Members Faust, Hovland and Johnson,
I've traveled all over the country and a lot of the world. So, when I
recently moved back to Minneapolis from the west coast, I had a solid sense
of why I wanted to live here. I like Minnesota.
However, I find it hard to believe I can't do something as simple as buy
wine at the grocery store. What is it, some puritanical relic from the stone
ages? You and the city council need to look at the rest of the country and
realize how quaint the notion of separation of groceries and liquor really
is.
Additionally, as a resident of Edina, I am pissed off that my tax money is
being spent to lobby against this issue. Mayors and city council people get
paid to make my life easier, not to act on their own irrational belief sets.
BTW, the whining by municipal liquor stores is ridiculous. Competition is
good for everyone. The state shouldn't be in the liquor business anyway.
What you are doing by getting in the way of this issue is decreasing
competition, increasing costs and wasting my time and money. Get with the
program.
Regards,
Brian Wilson

Edina City Council
4801 West 50th Street
Edina, MN. 55424
City Council Members:
We are writing to again express our concerns with the developments planned
for the Edina Community Center and athletic field sites. As "neighbors"
across the street from the school complex we have concerns that the proposed
"Dome" for Kuhlman Field and associated increased availability will have a
significant negative impact of the quality of life we currently enjoy. It is
our understanding that you plan to consider these proposals at the January
16th council meeting. Since we feel that we have not had a reasonable
opportunity to voice our concerns we are putting them in writing for public
record.
Included below are some of our concerns relating to this issue:
- Communication
As with the first proposal in May of 2000, we again feel that there has not
been enough effort made to communicate the proposals to those directly
impacted in the surrounding neighborhood. While we have been attempting to
watch sources of city information Edina WEB site, Sun Current, etc. we have
seen virtually no information. Again the only notification we: have received
is from a neighbor leaving a note at our door. In discussing this proposal
with other Edina residents there appears to be a general lack of awareness of
these plans. This apparent lack of information has the potential to cause
issues not only for those of us working to understand the impact on our
neighborhood but also the general perception of the council by Edina
residents.
- Base on the limited information we have it appears as if minimal efforts
has been made to involve impacted community members in the planning and
decision making process. We are aware of the 'Blue Ribbon Committee" which
apparently includes some representation for the neighborhood area but we have
received no information from the BRC.
- I am frankly also disappointed that this same issue "lack of communication"
has come -up again. As it was identified as a problem in the previous attempt
to address this same set of concerns. Since we now have some new
representation on the council it is my hope that this issue will be addressed.
Safety Concerns
- From the new information I have seen (which I will admit is minimal) there
appears to have been little (or no) effort made to study the potential impact
of expanded usage of Kuhlman Field in the surrounding neighborhood. Potential
issues relating to increased and altered traffic patterns, parking problems,
increased activity during evening /weekend hours, and increases in the
potential for security concerns. We would appreciate having these potential
issues understood and plans to address potential impacts developed before
going forward rather that attempting to deal with them once they occur.
- Increased traffic due to the potential daily use of Kuhlman Field beginning
at 5PM also has the potential to cause safety issues. While school is out
before 5PM many extra curricular activities would be ending at the time
traffic would be increasing. As this area of Edina have few sidewalks kids
must walk in the street or someone's yard.
- As we live directly across from the main entrance to Concord Elementary
School it is relatively easy for us to observe the problems that already
exist when one major event is occurring at the school of Kuhlman Field.
During school concerns, carnival, book sales the available parking overflows
into neighborhoods. Also at virtually all Edina home football games we get a
preview of what things may be like on a nightly basis if the field is made
available for multiple uses. If events at multiple facilities (schools,
Kuhlman, ECC, etc.) were to coincide on a. regular.basis our neighborhoods
could be overwhelmed on a regular basis.
- As traffic has been sited numerous times in the local press as a "top
concern" of Edina residents, I am curious why a proposal to cause a
significant increase in "non local" traffic, would be considered. In looking
at the access available to the ECC and Kuhlman fields, it would seem obvious
that much of the traffic would be required to go through residential areas.
Access from only one direction (south bound) on only one major route (Highway
100) is available. Access from any other direction will require significant,
travel through residential areas. If proposed Kuhlman Field is successfully
schedule this would be on a regular basis.
Site Selection
- The choice of the Community Center / School Complex site for additional
expansion of usage does not appear to be ideal. The existing center and
school sites are already far more concentrated than other complexes in Edina
with two elementary and a middle school within one city block as well as the
community center. Based on this concentration of facilities it would seem
that this neighborhood is already accommodating its fair share of activities
and traffic.
- As mentioned above (safety concerns) looking at the available access to
handle increased traffic and the room available for expansion and parking
other sites would appear to be better suited. The only exiting freeway access
to this site is from southbound Highway 100. This means that access from all
other directions (north, west & east) must go through residential areas and
in close proximity to many schools. In addition once this development has
been completed there would appear to be no additional room for expansion of
parking if the planned space does not accommodate the increased. needs. This
would leave no option but to allow parking to spill into neighborhood streets.
- Are other sites in Edina better suited to handle this type of development?
It would seem that freeway access and land available for development near the
Edina High School or Braemar would be better suited to this development that
the Community Center site. Ample space appears to be available to develop
facilities away from the majority of the residential areas near these sites.
Necessity of this Development
- From "unofficial" source we have been advised that up to 200 events per
year may be scheduled at Kuhlman Field that would not be directly related to
the Edina Community. Fees would then be charged to the groups using the
facilities for these events. We do not feel that it is appropriate for the
Edina City or School District to propose the development of a commercial
venture in close proximity to both a residential and school area. If the
intent is to eliminate or reduce the cost of developing and operating these
facilities then it may be that Edina cannot afford to develop them.
I hope that we have illustrated to each of you that we are seriously
concerned with this plan and it's potential impact on the neighborhood,
schools and community. We would appreciate your thoughtful consideration of
these concerns and your willingness to insure that they are addressed
appropriately.
Sincerely,
Bill & Sandy Essendrup

I am extremely concerned about the impact the various proposed
"improvements"
to the Edina Community Center campus will have on the safety, aesthetics, and
overall inhabitability of our neighborhood. (My husband and I are homeowners
in the immediate vicinity of the Community Center and Concord School.)
Parking is not sufficient for current use of the various facilities, as can
be plainly seen on any Friday night when there is a "home" football game or
when there is an all- school activity at Concord. Adding additional
activities such as a larger community theater and a 7- night -a- week domed
stadium could result in the surrounding neighborhoods experiencing the
safety, traffic, and parking problems on virtually a daily basis. "Impact on
the neighborhood" was apparently a factor in deciding against the EHS site;
why doesn't our neighborhood get the same consideration?
On a clear day, we have a view of the downtown Minneapolis skyline from our
property. Presumably, the dome will obliterate this view, as well as any
view other than a massive white bubble. "'Visually undesirable to the
residents" was given as a reason to bypass Lewis Field; why doesn't our
neighborhood get the same consideration?
Neighbors of the Community Center have been accused of cultivating a Not in
My BackYard attitude. Unfortunately, the safety, traffic, parking, and
aesthetic problems presented by the proposed developments to the already
congested Community Center campus will occur in my (and many of my
neighbors') front yard! Is it too cynical to question whether the opinions
and needs of residents in modest neighborhoods don't count quite as much as
those in more expensive areas?
The proposed shutdown of the Cross -town highway will increase even further
the cut - through traffic and congestion in the Community Center neighborhood.
If there is a real need for a domed stadium, Braemar is the perfect site for
it. It does not have the traffic and parking congestion problems that the
Community Center has. Most importantly, it is not in the middle of a
residential neighborhood. Any additional cost associated with the Braemar
site is minimal relative to the entire cost of the proposed referendum as a
whole.

We are ECC residents and are very concerned about the proposed dome at the
Kuhlman Field site. Our greatest concern is the safety of our children at
Concord Elementary and Southview Middle School. We are concerned about
the
influx of people from outside of the community as well as traffic problems.
We believe this would also have a negative impact on the character of our
residential community. Obviously, there would be parking problems too. Why
not build this dome at an area such as Braemer where it would not be
sandwiched in between 2 Elementary shools and would not propose danger to
our young children and the nearby residents? At Braemar there would be
plenty of room for expansion in the future. We hope the City Council will
consider the impact of this proposed project on the ECC residents. Please
circulate this message to the City Council and others concerned. If you

Mr. Johnson, I am writing in support of the referendum which will partially
support the funding of a Black Box theater for use of EHS as well the
community at large. I am serving currently as the President of the EHS
Thespian Booster Organization, a group of which you are familiar, if I
remember correctly. A second stage theater when offered within the context
of expanding the arts is astonishing in its ability to draw individuals who
have ideas to offer. Smaller theaters have historically been the ones to
pave the way to creating classics. Not only experimental theater will
flourish in this environment, but dance, music, poetry, and performance art
as well. In the mid 1970's I worked to create a black box type theater in
Chicago with David Mamet, Bill Macey, and about 20 other folks to create the
St. Nicholas Theater (build out of an old factory on the north side of
Chicago). The first show we did was Mamet's "American Buffalo." The
possibilities to serve Edina are endless and so very exciting. This
community is loaded with talented people who would be well served by this
new
venture. Dr. Patricia Griffith
Note from Devonna Murrin, orchestra teacher for EPS on 12/15/00
In response to my (Doug) that some committee members are concerned
that there is no
organized group other than the district that is lobbying and /or
wants a black box theatre.
NO, there are SEVERAL!! I hope the letter I drafted for the schmitt
person to sign and send on is helpful. there is a big need out there for
more auditorium space. I contacted Kathleen Van Dorren (president of MMTA,
a group of private music teachers, hope she writes an a mail to you, also
contacted Claudia Schnitcker, she has been lobbying the Edina Foundation
forever to build a Fine Arts Center like the Hopkins one in Edina, also
contacted Lauren O'Connor, French Immersion parent that chaired and
dreamed
up the community music series, she knows first hand how difficult it is to
find a good space.
I was very dismayed to receive a mailing from the Edina Foundation
asking for support for our "wonderful performance halls in the community"
They list Edinburgh, Centennial Lakes etc, These are not spots to do any
quality acoustical performances. I hope that the Blue Ribbon committee does
not think that these venues are adequate. Edinborough is OK, but the noise
competition is fierce and most of us do not care to bring groups there
because of the lack of acoustical integrity.

Subject: BLACK BOX THEATRE AT EHS
DEAR DOUG, I WAS SPEAKING WITH A FRIEND TODAY ABOUT THE NEW
PERFORMING ARTS ADDITION AT EDINA HIGH SCHOOL WHICH IS LIKE A
DREAM COME TRUE FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE HAD CHILDREN IN
THE ORCHESTRA PROGRAM WALKING BETWEEN EHS AND WMS FOR
YEARS. FIRST OF ALL I AM VERY GRATEFUL THAT THIS ADDITION
LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT BECOME A REALITY IN THE NEAR FUTURE. SHE
ALSO MENTIONED THE POSSIBLILITY OF ADDING A "BLACK BOX"
THEATRE AT THIS SITE. I THINK THIS WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT PLUS.
PRIMARILY IT WOULD TAKE MUCH NEEDED STRESS OFF THE FICK
AUDITORIUM SCHEDULE, WHICH AS YOU KNOW IS LIKE TRYING TO FIT A
CHINESE PUZZLE TOGETHER. IT WOULD PROVIDE A SMALLER VENUE
FOR LIMITED MUSIC AND DRAMA PIECES SUCH AS THE CHAMBER
ORCHESTRA, BEL CANTOS SINGERS AND THE THEATRE CLASS PLAYS
FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL. BUT I ALSO THINK THAT IT WOULD BE A
GOOD FIT WITH THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE FOR RECITALS FOR THE
MANY PRIVATE VOICE, INSTRUMENT AND DANCE /MOVEMENT
INSTRUCTORS LOCALLY. THE CURRENT SCHOOL STAGES ARE SIMPLY
TOO LARGE (TO SAY NOTHING OF SCHEDULES BECAUSE MANY OF
THEM ARE PART OF GYMS). I KNOW MANY A PARENT WHO HAS SAT
THROUGH A LONG RECITAL IN SOME ONE'S HOME. I CAN'T HELP BUT
BELIEVE IF SOMETHING LIKE A SMALL "BLACK BOX" THEATRE WAS
MADE AVAILABLE AT A REASONABLE RENTAL FEE IT WOULD BE USED
FREQUENTLY. I FEEL A BIT SHEEPISH ASKING FOR MORE WHEN AS I
SAID AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS LITTLE MISSIVE I AM DELIGHTED TO
HAVE A THE PERFORMING ARTS WING BUT IT APPEARS TO ME THAT IF
YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO ADD THIS AT THE FRONT END OF THIS
CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IT WOULD GREATLY ENHANCE THE ENTIRE
BUILDING. THANKS DOUG FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS PROJECT.

to the members of the City Council --
Thanks for the detailed summary on your web page. I appreciate the time the
committee has spent on this initiative, as well as the opportunity to provide my
input on this important subject.
I am adamantly opposed to the location of the bubble at Kuhlman Field. I
recently moved from a home elsewhere in Edina to a location near ECC for a
number of reasons, not the least of which was quiet streets and low traffic
volume. The addition of the bubble to the area will mean exponentially
increased traffic, not to mention ongoing parking concerns on our streets. I am
worried that the increase will mean not only congestion, but a potential increase
in crime in the area. Freeway access is limited from the south, which means
significant traffic issues throughout the Concord /Southview area, where our
children walk daily.
The location at Braemar makes far more sense to me. That area has the space,
the parking facilities, better freeway access from both the north and the south
and no immediate neighborhood issues to worry about.
Please register my concerns with the committe and let me know if there are other
ways I can share my thoughts about this important issue.

We are ECC residents and are very concerned about the proposed dome at the
Kuhlman Field site. Our greatest concern is the safety of our children at
Concord Elementary and Southview Middle School. We are concerned about
the
influx of people from outside of the community as well as traffic problems.
We believe this would also have a negative impact on the character of our
residential community. Obviously, there would be parking problems too. Why
not build this dome at an area such as Braemer where it would not be
sandwiched in between 2 Elementary shools and would not propose danger to
our young children and the nearby residents? At Braemar there would be
plenty of room for expansion in the future. We hope the City Council will
consider the impact of this proposed project on the ECC residents. Please
circulate this message to the City Council and others concerned. If you

Kris- I got a copy of the re- design for the auditorium from John Keprios last week. I
seemed to remember that when it was presented last spring there were some problems with
it that Terry Factor commented on at a meeting. As I looked at it, I noticed several
potential problems:
1) Terry had noticed that the theatre lobby still opens onto a Normandale hallway and that
the stage entrance is from a Normandale hallway.
2) The only bathroom that would be accessible from the stage is the school bathroom.
3) The theatre does not have a separate entrance from the street. One of the entries to
Normandale and the theatre share a single entrance, and then the Normandale corridor is
separated from the theatre lobby by double doors.
4) The renovation takes part of NormandaWs blacktopped playground.
5) With the District's new plans for cutting in a lane on Frontage Road for the school
buses, it looks like there may not be enough room for the entrance as planned.
I am passing this information on to John Keprios because it may affect cost estimates - I
also thought it might be helpful for Dan Rectenwald to see it.
From my perspective, it would be better to address the issues at Normandale identified by
the security evaluation before taking on any other changes to the building. It doesn't seem
clear how the school will be re- arranged for security reasons and what kind of construction
or disruption this might entail. I hate to think of the disruption from the major construction
of an auditorium renovation superimposed on this process when there is no educational
benefit for the children. I would think that all four second grade classrooms and the art and
music room would need to be moved during construction. Given the need to move the
kindergarten and hopefully Kids Club for security reasons, it is hard to envision where
everything would go. I know the third floor has been mentioned for 2002, but I think there
are some fire code restrictions for K -2 - I recall a conversation with Susan Young, where
she said the current 4th, 5th grade classrooms could not be used for K -2 because they
didn't exit ,at ground level. The security evaluation also mentioned ground level for the
kindergarten classrooms.
I am glad that the security evaluation indicated that the auditorium should not be used
during the schoolday. Even with renovation, the proximity to Normandale's playground
and bus loading area, not to mention parking limitations, are strong arguments against
schoolday use.
Many thanks,
Kathy Christensen

To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is intended to serve as a description of the current Edina South View gym
space as it relates to physical education instruction and total facility usage. Currently we
have two small gyms, a weight room with limited space, and a pool. The number of
students in the building often requires us to schedule three different physical education
classes at one time. However, our limited facilities prevent us from having four different
physical education classes running concurrently. This is a difficult scheduling constraint.
In particular, with inclement weather, none of the classes can use outdoor facilities. This
results in instructional and space challenges for these teachers. At this time, our special
needs students must use the gym facilities only when the scheduling of other classes
allows. This is possible, but also puts a burden on our adaptive physical education teacher
and department in delivering adaptive phy. ed. experiences.
Our physical education staff. Barry Becklin, Phil Finanger, Traci Bergo, and Jodi
Halvorson are excited about the possibility of the addition of another gym to the South
View setting. A full size basketball court would be particularly helpful for facilities use
for these large classes. A larger court could also facilitate extra - curricular sports events
more adequately than our current small -scale gym and court. It would also be more suited
to 91h grade and MSHSL sports that could take place there. There is no doubt that another
gym space would be well received and in nearly constant use. We would also look
forward to workin_a with the city to insure that this facility was used as much: as possible
during all of its non - school hours as well. The school would readily welcome such an
addition.

Dearpoug-
I have heard of the plans to build more performing arts space at Edina
High School This is wonderful news! A small theatre would be a godsend to
the private music teachers of the community. We are always looking for space
to present our recitals, singly and together. I know this new space will be
a popular place ( providing the rent is reasonable!).
In the years when I was directing the Edina Community Education -based
Silvertones Flute Choir, a space like this would have been perfect for us! I
imagine there are other community -based arts group - the Edina Chorale, for
instance, or youth groups, that would welcome this space. Perhaps adult
musicians of the community would dare to give recitals there as well. Good
luck with your plans.

• Good morning Doug,
• Here are some thoughts about how we can use the Black Box Theater and
• upgrades to Fick for the public.
• A big, big thing we could do is to develop a multi - generational theater
• program that would run year round.
• It would be great to take some of our adults with experience in the
• theater and mix them with our youth.
• There is a big need for offerings for our primary and middle school kids
• during the year. We could offer through community education a series of
• classes for this age group to develop a feeder program for a summer stock
• theater that I believe Tony Mathes will be in touch with you regarding
• starting. At the present we don't have anything to offer these kids and I
• have heard from many parents wanting to know where they can take their
• kids to get some theater experience.
• With all the resources we have in the community I am surprised that this
• has not happened before. We offer through all of the various sports
• groups in town huge young kids' opportunities. My own son at the age of
• seven is in many of them. However, we do not have anything for the
• non - athlete to start in at a young age and opportunities for growth as
• they get older. In Edina we need to get some of these things started.
• Yes, the Black Box Theater offers more opportunities for students in the
• high school but here is our chance to reach out to the public with a
• wonderful new place for kids to learn and grow and maybe find what it is
• they may want to do in their future.
• Please let the committee know that there is so much more to life than
• sports and many of us in the community think its time to do something for
• the arts and our kids.

I have seen first hand the struggle private music teachers have had finding
quality recital space for their students. My daughter has studied the

church basements. In addition to the high school, the community at large

Dear Mr. Christianson and Members of the Blue Ribbon Committee:
I would like to strongly encourage the Blue Ribbon Committee to fully explore the possibility of
developing gymnasiums with the YMCA and any other organizations that have an interest in
collaborating with the City on such a project.
At the present time, there is a very short list of potential sites for gymnasiums on City and School
District property. The feasibility and affordability of any site has yet to be demonstrated. Any site
on City or School District property introduces the challenge of covering the operating costs for
facilities that will run at a significant loss. Given that the athletic association's desire for new
gymnasiums is based on a very limited number of evening hours and that the School District
indicates no need for more gymnasiums, it would seem that any option that might reduce taxpayer
costs should be fully explored.
I encourage the Blue Ribbon Committee to explore ALL potential sites in parallel, gathering the
same information on all sites, so that in the final analysis, the relative advantages and
disadvantages can be compared.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Maetzold,
My husband and I support the investment in the renovations to the pools, playing fields,
and gyms in the City of Edina. We are especially interested in the pool(s) improvement
and would like there to be a new pool facility in the City. Our son learned to swim at
South View, which is now very inadequate. He now swims on the Boys Varsity
Swimming and Diving Team. We have a State High School Swimming Championship
Team. Shouldn't we have a great training and meet facility?
We are very supportive of a new pool. Within the last year we have walked around in our
neighborhoods to acquire signatures on a petition for a new pool. Many of the suburban
school districts have wonderful indoor swimming pool facilities. Our close neighbor,
Richfield, is an excellent example. Edina is a wonderful place to live and its citizens have
always provided our children with great facilities and reasons to be proud.
This monetary investment will increase the value of Edina's physical assets and be a great
investment in our students. It's time we step up and once again provide our students with
first -rate facilities.

Re: Park and Recreation Referendum
Dear Mayor Maetzold and Members of Edina City Council:
We recently attended a City Council meeting where the Blue Ribbon Council presented the
results of their recent activities. Although we have been very disappointed that our fellow
residents and we have not received any direct communication regarding the scope and
progress of the project, in particular plans to erect a dome at Kuhlman Field, we do at least feel
that our concerns to some extent are being heard.
Communication of the progress of the proposed project is of utmost importance. It came to our
attention only a few days before the last City Council meeting that the project had proceeded to
its current status, a status that appears unacceptable in its current form. This was due to the
efforts of a few neighbors who have taken it upon themselves to educate the neighbors.
As residents of School Road, we have never been contacted by anyone directly or indirectly
involved with the project, City Hall, or the BRC. We now understand that a hearing has been
established for Thursday, February 15th to give the community a chance to review the
recommendations of the BRC as well as to share any concerns we as neighbors and citizens
may have. We appreciate this opportunity, however wish to stress the ongoing importance of
frequent and thorough communication to the public, in particular the ECC neighborhood.,
In general, we do not disagree, and in fact are supportive of the many of the elements of the
project as it relates to upgrading and enhancing the facilities for athletics and recreation in
Edina. However we cannot stress enough our concern with the location of the proposed
Kuhlman Field dome.
Please keep in mind that when we moved to our home on School Road over a decade ago, we
moved here with a set of certain known facts. Among these facts were that this was a
residential community with a school in its midst. This set of facts did not include the
commercialization of our neighborhood school campus, and erecting a domed athletic facility of
this type to be used as a recreation center.
Our primary concerns are as follows:
1. Traffic —As residents of School Road for over 10 years, we experience significant school -
related traffic throughout the day already from the many vehicles belonging to teachers,
administrators, parents, delivery companies, buses, etc. By turning the ECC campus into a
commercial venue and renting out a domed facility, traffic levels will dramatically increase,
creating significant issues of safety, and contributing to a degradation of the ECC
community, our home values, and our quality of life.
2. Safety — One of the primary reasons we chose to live in Edina is the safety and security that
exists here. Renting out a domed field and turning it into a commercial recreational area
dramatically decreases the safety of our families and homes.
3. Quality of Life — Think about this issue in the context of your family. We have enjoyed a
relatively high quality of life in our neighborhood to date. This quality of life cannot be
maintained when there will be significant noise and traffic until 11 PM each night. We
reiterate that this is a residential area, not a commercial recreational area.
4. Parking — There will be a significant parking issue. People will be parking on our residential
street 7 days a week until 11 PM. This is not acceptable.
5. Home Value — We live in Edina for many reasons. These include the quality of life we
enjoy and the value of our investment. It seems clear that the proposed facility can only
have a negative impact on this investment. Increasing taxes and decreasing home value is
a recipe for financial disaster.
Note that there is NOT unanimous support for this project. You have not heard from the
residents that live here.
Remember that the ECC neighborhood is where we live. The facilities developed at this site
were intended for academic use first, and recreational second, not the other way around. The
facilities were not intended to be a commercial revenue source for the city to fund projects. If
the only way this project will work is if it is self- funding through rentals, than perhaps the city
cannot and should not afford it.
Please consider the needs of the residents that are most impacted by the proposed projects.
We care about our city and believe our elected representatives should hear these concerns.
The right thing to do is to recommend that the Domed Field not be developed at the ECC but
elsewhere at a more suitable location.
A reasonable and feasible alternative /solution is Braemar Park. Braemar is the best location for
this facility as it was designed as a commercial recreational facility. Our neighborhood was
not.
Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of our concerns.
Sincerely,
Samuel G. Rouman

Subject: Needs of Our Schools
Dear Mayor Maetzold,
I feel privileged to know you, the Mayor of our fair city, and thank you for
your excellent work. It is a promise that I made to my 10- year -old,
4th -grade son that prompts me to write this letter to you.
Last week I noted in the Sun paper that there are big plans to expand and
build new recreational facilities at several locations around Edina
including swimming pools, gymnasiums, etc. This all sound great and I'm
sure all residents stand to benefit from the improvements. However, my son,
Jonathan, a student a Concord Elementary, said that he thought that there
were some things in his school that needed fixing before a new gym should be
built. For instance, the faucets in the boys lavatories don't work well and
tend to spray in all but the right directions. The toilets are often in
need of service too.
Our family has been in Edina public schools for several years now and we
know and appreciate how hard the excellent staff (teachers, administration,
and service) all work to do a great job. Thanks to them all! But these
buildings are well -worn, and I request inspection of these facilities and
action be taken to remedy some of these rather routine plumbing- maintenance
items that don't allow our children to even wash their hands in the bathroom
or get a decent drink from the water fountain.
Thank you for the opportunity to approach you and your staff on this matter.
Respectfully,

Sir
We disagree with the proposed improvements to the recreation facilities as
stated in your letter of Feb. -2 -2001.
We have the following concerns and request your answers or comments:
1- Traffic - -effect on residential streets and freeway access.
2- Parking - -effect of parking on residential streets in the immediate area
of the facility.
3- Late night noise- 11.00 closing. The people will not vacate the area
until much later.
4- Tax increase -- What will the increase be?
5- Trash - -City will have responsibility over and above the norm for the
neighborhood adjacent to
the facility.
6- Property Value. The consequence of this facility will be reduced
property values to the
surrounding communities.
7- Safety-- Higher traffic in the area to the children and senior citizens.
8- Security- Police protection for the city due to the inappropriate hours
of the day and night.
9- Increased commercial traffic into the area to service the facility
10 -Why was the letter of Feb. -2 -01 sent only to the owners of property
within 500 feet of the
campus and not all of the residents of the city?
Thank you for your attention to my concerns. I look forward to you reply.

PROJECT EARTH UPDATE
Money has been approved by Hennepin County for the High School to use to improve recycling
containers. However, the check will be sent after an agreement contract has been signed and
City Council approved.
BFI SCHOLARSHIP CRITERIA
There was discussion regarding the kind of criteria the Commission would like to place on the
Recycling Scholarship money. Ms. Wilmot will contact the High School to see what types of
scholarship applications they have and if there are some limitations they have established for
disbursement of scholarship money. The Commission discussed having the school administer
the distribution of the money. Commission members felt that a students' grade point average
would not need to be a criteria to acquire the money. It was determined that the student should
be a Senior who has been involved with recycling or environmental issues.

Meeting adjourned 7:50 a.m.
20 January 2001
Mr. Michael F. Kelly, Edina City Council
City of Edina
5110 Arden Avenue
Edina, Minnesota
Dear Mr. Kelly:
On 16 January my wife and I, along with many neighbors, attended the Council meeting at which the
Blue Ribbon Committee presented its recommendations for expanding Edina's athletic and recreational facilities.
Many questions were asked, and some of them were unanswered. But my purpose is not to discuss what was said at
the meeting but only to point to what is for our neighborhood the biggest problem in the proposal. I speak, of
course, about the artificial turf and the bubble that is proposed for Kuhlman Field.
According to the proposal, the bubble would be up from November to April and would be in use until
11:00 at night. It would be rented out and would provide income for the city. Apparently anyone could be a
prospective renter since no restrictions were announced, and some land not now used for parking would have to be
taken over for that purpose to allow for more cars and to accommodate the increased use of the field. Now these
preliminary remarks are, of course, only a brief sketch of the proposal, but they suffice for my purpose, which is to
point to difficulties that such a bubble placed on Kuhlman Field would bring.
The BCR thinks that it is important for the bubble to be placed near a school, and so they want it at
Kuhlman rather than at Braemar, for there is no school near Braemar, whereas two schools border on Kuhlman.
Unfortunately the BCR said nothing about the negative effect of the bubble on the neighborhood, about the
increased automobile traffic, the constant presence of non - neighborhood residents, as well as the parking
congestion on Concord and other streets in the area. Such use would bring high school kids who, as we know, often
like to raise a ruckus and bring about disturbances, especially those who are not residents of the neighborhood.
There would also be an increased risk of predators lurking about in the environs.
Everyone whom I have met that lives in the area objects to the bubble on Kuhlman because of its
disturbing effect on the neighborhood, quite apart from its being an eyesore. So why, may I ask, should proximity
to a school take priority over the welfare and safety of the very modest neighborhood that is proximate to the field,
not to mention the other concerns that contribute to the decline of the neighborhood? Nor let us forget that tax
increases are planned, even though the value of the property of the people in the Concord area would undergo a
drop in value.
One of the proponents of Kuhlman as the location of the bubble remarked that there would be an
additional expense if the location were to be Braemar. But let me ask: is that more important than the welfare of
the Concord neighborhood? None of those who want to locate the bubble on Kuhlman Field live in that area, so
none would be adversely affected by it, which means they can easily lose sight of the bubble's negative effect on the
neighborhood. Let me suggest, then, that expenses be cut somewhere else and that the bubble be put at Braemar.
We in this neighborhood do hope and ask that the Council not put the bubble on Kuhlman field; we ask
that the Council put it at Braemar, or somewhere else. At the meeting no one said it could not be put on the
property adjacent to the High School, and we can easily see that if it were it would not have the same effect there
that it would at Concord.
Our thanks for your attention and consideration.

Dear City Council members,
It is with sadness and considerable irritation that I have learned of your
decision to move from garage side to curbside recycling. I have no idea what
logic perpetrated this decision as it does not seem in the best interest of this
city.
I have always been pleased that Edina was one of the cities were garbage cans
and recycling bins were not left at curbside on pickup days. Now, however,
recycling containers litter the streets from before pick up in the morning until
the empty containers are reclaimed as residents return home in the afternoon.
On January 8th, I thought I'd try your new system. As my driveway was very
icy, I loaded my recycling container into the back of my car and drove to the
end of the driveway. As I got out of the car and carried my bin to the snow
bank at the edge of my driveway, I almost slipped on the ice. Having fallen and
broken my ankle three years ago, I am wary of repeating the experience. And
yes, later that evening I had to go retrieve the container, again for safety
purposes, placing it in my vehicle for transport to my garage. If you think I'm
going to go through this procedure and risk an accident to do curbside
recycling, you are sadly deluded.
And let's see, this unsightly new plan with its accompanying danger to me
saves me $1.68 per quarter on my water bill. That's about 1.9 cents per day.
Someone advised you that that was cost efficient? I can't believe it.
As a loyal recycler from the first day you started a recycling program, I am
saddened to say I will no longer recycle until you return to your previous policy.
I, unfortunately, will be throwing all my recycling materials in the garbage
which, conveniently, is picked up at my garage. It's sad when public policy

Edina City Council
Edina, MN.
Dear City Council Members,
I am writing to strongly oppose the proposed building of a Bubble Sports Complex on Kuhlman
Field. I do not feel this is needed whatsoever and do not want my already high property taxes to
go up one dime.
I have talked with 8 of my neighbors and all have told me they are strongly opposed, as well. Please do
not consider this proposal as it is not in the best interests of all the residents of this city.
Sincerely,
Mike and Gina Peck

DAN PATCH CORRIDOR COMMUTER RAIL FEASIBILITY STUDY PUBLIC
OPEN HOUSES POSTPONED
The second round of public open houses for the Dan Patch Commuter Rail Feasibility Study has been
postponed until spring 2001. The state - funded study started in the summer of 2000 to investigate the
feasibility of re- establishing commuter rail service on existing railroad tracks. Public open houses were held
in September 2000 with a second round of public open houses originally scheduled for January 2001. The
study is in the process of obtaining ridership information from ongoing regional commuter rail studies.
The second round of open houses will present citizens with projected capital costs, operating costs, station
footprints, feeder bus information, environmental screening data and ridership forecasting related to
commuter rail. To determine accurate ridership forecasts, ridership information from the proposed Northstar
(Minneapolis to St. Cloud) and Red Rock/Central (Hastings to Minneapolis) commuter rail lines must be
analyzed and included with ridership forecasts to be performed for the Dan Patch Commuter Rail Line.
"From earlier open houses, many people expressed an interest in who will be riding the commuter rail," said
Scott Peters, the study's project manager. "In order to determine this, we need to obtain ridership
information from the other commuter rail studies underway. We are postponing the next round of public
open houses until this spring because of delays in receiving information from other commuter rail studies.
This will allow us to provide accurate information to the communities and citizens within the corridor."
The existing tracks that are being studied are from Northfield, through the cities of Lakeville, Burnsville,
Savage, Bloomington, Edina, and St. Louis Park, to Minneapolis. In Dakota and Scott Counties, the rail
corridor is between Northfield and Savage. In Hennepin County, it is west of Normandale
Boulevard/Highway 100 and connects with downtown Minneapolis in the I -394 corridor.
The delay in obtaining ridership information from the other corridor studies will not significantly affect the
anticipated completion date. The Dan Patch Corridor Commuter Rail Feasibility Study is still anticipated
for completion this summer. The I -35W Solutions Alliance will announce the date(s) of the next round of
open houses in March 2001.
(more)
Page 2 /commuter rail news release
The Dan Patch Corridor Commuter Rail Feasibility Study is being directed and coordinated by The I -35W
Solutions Alliance. The I -35W Solutions Alliance is a legal joint powers board created in 1989 by the
Dakota County Board of Commissioners and the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority, along with
the cities of Apple Valley, Bloomington, Burnsville, Lakeville, Minneapolis and Richfield, as a coalition of
transportation interests to improve mobility in the I -35W corridor. The Alliance will serve as project
coordinator operating under a $500,000 State grant for the study.
The _I-35V Solutions Alliance has established a Technical and a Policy Committee to further assist in the
development of this study. Each community within the study corridor is represented on these committees.
The Technical Committee will review the study's technical aspects. The Policy Committee will make study
recommendations to the I -35W Solutions Alliance. The I -35W Solutions Alliance is the decision - making
body for the study and will make a recommendation to the Minnesota Commissioner of Transportation at its
conclusion.
The transportation corridor from Northfield to Minneapolis faces significant issues in population growth, and
traffic congestion and safety. Interstate 35W south of downtown Minneapolis is already one of the most
heavily traveled freeways in the metropolitan area and does not have the capacity to accommodate more
automobile traffic. The population in the Twin Cities area will grow by 650,000 in the next twenty years
with nonsignificant roadway expansion planned. Communities within the corridor have indicated they favor
evaluating alternate transportation modes to determine if they can be served with a comfortable, efficient, and
affordable alternative to commuting by automobile.
This study provides a more detailed exploration of commuter rail and its relation to other transportation
modes and land use patterns in the corridor. The study will build on the analyses, findings and
recommendations of the Minnesota Department of Transportation's Twin Cities Metropolitan Commuter Rail
Feasibility Study of 1998.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation has identified the Dan Patch Corridor in its first tier of
corridors for commuter rail support with recommendation for further study and evaluation. This corridor is
one of three rail corridors identified by the Minnesota Legislature in 1998 to receive funding to study
commuter rail alternatives. The others are the North Star Corridor from St. Cloud to Minneapolis and the
Red Rock Corridor from Hastings through St. Paul to Minneapolis.
If recommended as a feasible transportation option, the Minnesota Commissioner of Transportation will
determine if the corridor will advance to a study phase determining physical design, environmental impacts
and implementation cost.
The Dan Patch Corridor spans more than 40 miles. The railroad line was used for passenger rail service
between 1910 and 1942. The line was originally named for the famous racehorse from Savage. The
Canadian Pacific Railway owns most of the line; with the St. Louis Park to Minneapolis segment owned by
Burlington Northern Santa Fe.
A study web site has been established at www.danpatchcorridor.com. For additional study information

Sharon Ming Staff Present
Lynne Westphal Susan Heiberg
Greg Winter
Jim Zappa
Larry Fuglesten was invited to share the School District's Diversity Initiative
and the goal of working in partnership with the Commission and the
community to welcome and support diversity. This is one of Edina School
District's ethical values. The Edina School District was one of the founders
of WMEP as a way to achieve voluntary desegregation. Back in 1989, it
was looked at as -a way to bring urban and suburban schools together.
This has come together within a diversity strategy whereby needs of all
learners are met through modifications made in instruction and
curriculum. WMEP is the vehicle for the Edina School District to file its
diversity plan and has implemented The Choice Is Yours Program to
provide low income Minneapolis school students greater access to open
enrollment options. These students are also eligible for free or reduced
lunch during the school day. 2000 spaces will be provided over the next
four years — translated into 280 for Edina, or 70 each year. The State will
pay for transportation costs, which makes this different from other open
enrollments At the present time, there are 542 students enrolled overall.
This program does not demonstrate forced bussing; families.in south
Minneapolis make their own decisions whether or not to enroll their
children. In the process, none of the other students can be displaced —it
operates on a space - available basis. Larry remarked that accepting
diversity in the schools brings challenges; there are perceptions on both
sides. Community outreach is truly valuable in the counseling of new
families. A concern will be the extra - curricular piece for the students and
whether or not house leagues will be made available to them, which
brings up the questions of program fees and transportation. It would be
meaningful for parents to be able to come and watch their students in
these extra - curricular events. An orientation program would have to be
developed for teachers as well as for the mentor parents of these new
students. All new families need to be welcomed in some fashion, and
mentors need to be in place for all new students for at least one week.
Areas and ways to help by the Commission: 1). be aware and
knowledgeable; 2) be able to offer mediation; 3) use resources from the
League's report entitled "Changing Faces, Changing Communities."

Approval of Minutes. The motion of Jim Zappa to approve the minutes of
the joint meeting with the School Board on November 27, 2000, was
seconded by Sharon Ming; the motion carried. The motion of Bert Finsand
to approve the minutes of the regular.meeting of November 27, 2000, was
seconded by Carol Carmichiel; the motion carried.
Chair's Report. Betsy reported that there would be a meeting with Dr.
Dragseth and other school personnel on January 8th as a follow -up to the
joint meeting to discuss concerns around the issue of freedom of speech.
Betsy, Idelle Longman, Sharon Ming and. Eileen Supple will attend this
meeting. Other ideas suggested for their discussion were how to market
the vision of the Human Relations Commission for the benefit of the School
District and the entire community; seek opportunities to talk to students in
school about racism; and plan another joint, meeting with both the School
Board and the City Council.
Senior Outreach Neighborhood Coordinator. Jim Zappa's copy of the
restructured proposal for a Senior Outreach Neighborhood Coordinator
was discussed and was well received. A copy will be forwarded'to Adele
Mehta at Senior Community Services for her reaction, and if favorable, the
proposal will be formalized at the January Commission meeting.
Thereafter, representatives from the Senior Center Board will investigate
the possibility of securing additional space at the new Senior Center for
this operation.
Letter to School Superintendent. A letter regarding freedom of speech
issues to Dr. Ken Dragseth, written by Eileen Supple and revised by Jim
Zappa, was reviewed. This letter would be d follow -up to a telephone
conversation between Betsy and Dr. Dragseth: Greg Winter's motion to
send this revised letter to Dr. Dragseth was seconded by Lynne Westphal;
the motion carried.
Community Council. Sharon Ming reported that FamiLink Edina's new
Coordinator, Val Burke, is now working half -days and will begin full time in
January. Sharon shared that Sheila Kosek will no longer be staffing the
resource center, and as, a result, Storefront will be providing a new person
to be trained. It was suggested that a volunteer base from the
community be developed for staffing the center rather than counting on
providers filling in the gap with their own volunteers. Currently, marketing
pieces for FamiLink Edina are being printed.
Commission Brochure. In the past, the Human Relations Commission had
a brochure and attempted to revise it. The project was set aside for some
time, and the suggestion was that it be revisited. Jennifer Wilkinson, the
City's Communications Coordinator, will be approached to assist in the
gathering of ideas.
Affordable Housing. Regarding CDBG funding, the question was raised
about using a portion of available funds for rental subsidy. This issue will
be carried over to the January meeting, at which time the CDBG budget
will be discussed in depth and a proposal readied to submit to the
Planning Department.
Adjournment. There being no further business, the meeting was
adjourned at 9:10 PM.
Respectfully submitted,

Re: Petition for EAW for proposal by JMS Homes at southwest corner of Interlachen
and Oxford
Dear Mr. Larsen:
This letter is written to acknowledge receipt of the Petition for an EAW for the
referenced development. The referenced Proposal was for a single family plat containing
4 lots on a 26,400 square foot site. Please be advised that the Edina City Council denied
the proposed plat at a public hearing held on January 16, 2001. Since the proposal has
been denied, there is no project for an EAW to evaluate.
It is my understanding from our phone conversation on January 19, that a project of this
size is exempt from review pursuant to Section 4410.4600 of the Environmental Review
Program. We will, however, keep the petition on file for one year. If a same or similar
project is submitted within that period, the petition will be forwarded to the City Council
to determine if an EAW is required.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 952.826.0460.

City of Edina

Edina, MN 55424
Dear Mayor Maetzold:
CANNING
Sept. 8, 2000
My original intent in writing this letter was singular, to compliment you, other members of the
City Council, staff and consultants on the the Edina Vision document. But a second idea, one no
doubt that has already occurred to you, also merits space.
But first, my thanks and appreciation for investing community time and resources in the Edina
Vision, particularly the first objective relating to strong residential neighborhoods and specifically
to the strategy relating to maintenance and improvement of the condition of the City's housing
stock through housing maintenance and REHABILITATION programs. My experience as a
resident of the Twin Cities for nearly 50 years and as an observer of civic programs as a
newspaper reporter, editor and publisher is that too few municipal bodies acknowledge and TAKE
ACTION to encourage programs that not just maintain housing stock but actually improve it.
I am delighted to see you and the entire council hold your own feet to the fire by translating this
goal into policy and then informing the entire community.
Now I will presume on your good nature to add my suggestion to what already must be a huge
pile of ideas that Edina join forces NOW with other southwestern suburbs to review steps that
could potentially ease some of the pain that will flow from the work on the Crosstown Highway
starting in 2002. Having witnessed first hand how creative drivers are in finding routes around
traffic slowdowns based on the little work on Highway 100 this past year, I think the city would
be wise to start looking now at measures that might be considered extreme (closing off access to
some streets at specific times of day, e.g.) under less trying conditions.
As I said, you no doubt had the same idea the day the announcement was made but there might be
comfort in knowing that others share the concern.
Sincer�Jy,

Dear Chief Marty Scheerer:
Hennepin County Community Health Department would like to thank you for supporting Tom Schmitz's
involvement in the Seat Belt Challenge 2001.
The Seat Belt Challenge is a program designed to increase seat belt use by high schools students.
Student groups such as SADD Chapters or Student Councils participate in the Challenge by
conducting Seat Belt Checks and a variety of activities to promote seat belt use.
Because of,Tom Schmitz's work as a Community Partner this last fall, Edina High School participated
in the Seat Belt Challenge 2000 and increased their seat belt use. The seat belt use rate among
participating schools increased from 74% at baseline to 86% after the month long Challenge!
If you have any questions or would like to know more about Tom Schmitz's involvement or the Seat
Belt Challenge, please feel free to call me at 612- 348 -4033.

Subject: Vision 20/20
I read the Edina Vision Report in total and want to commend you for the time
and thought that went into the plan. It's refreshing and reassuring to see
elected officials look forward with vision and engaging citizens in
developing a coordinated approach to current and future expenditures.
That said, I was deeply disappointed by the lack of reference to a greater
community surrounding Edina. It was written as though this city is an island
with no connection to the greater Metropolitan area. This was evident in two
specific areas:
Transportation -- where the principal concern seemed to be drivers who
choose to drive through Edina as a way of avoiding freeway congestion. What
should we do? Lock them out? Continue to resist the notion of a commuter
ail coming through Edina? Add all the services we need to the City of Edina
and build a wall?
Affordable Housing -- Little or no mention of one of the most serious
problems in the metropolitan area. In my opinion, Edina could benefit from
more diversity -- diversity in all ways: ethnic, racial, and economic. It
would force our citizens to live in the "real world" and become more
interested in and part of the overall solution.
In closing, it is my belief that "those that have much owe much."
This community has far more resources than most -- we should be thinking not
only of our own welfare but of how we can contribute to keeping our larger
neighborhood healthy and safe.

Dear Mr. Scheerer:
Yesterday two fine young men from the Edina Fire
Department came to our home to test our fire alarms;
Dominic Hadzima and Brian Hanrahan.
A few months ago I saw an article in the Edina Paper
that you could request that service. We are seniors
and it hard for us to check the alarms and yet we
know it is necessary and important.
The two men were most kind, courteous and helpful.
I noticed on their shirts they were paramedics too.
I could not help but feel the moment they walked in
the door you would know you were in capable hands.
Thank you for hiring such well qualified men and for
the service they give the community.
Most gratefully,
xd� Z Witte c.0
