Motion carried on rollcall vote - four ayes. REPORT PRESENTED ON CITY FACILITIES Park Director Keprios explained at the September 8, 1998, Council meeting, staff was directed to study the possibilities for a public /private partnership to develop a community center concept at the Lewis Engineering /Kunz Oil site. Staff, in order to research the possibilities of potential public /private partnerships involving the community center concept on the Lewis Engineering /Kunz Oil site, mailed letters of inquiry to eight organizations. As a result, four organizations chose to meet with staff to discuss the possibilities of a partnership. Findings from those four meetings are as follows: ANALYSIS OF CURRENT SITE: • 81/2 acre site may be too small to accommodate all proposed facilities and parking desired by community organizations • City owned site not geometrically suitable for large community center - acquiring "TAGS" property would be necessary for a joint public /private partnership • Site not located on high - traffic road - location more suitable to serve a community -wide market more than regional market usually desired by private organizations If City pursues concept - peak hour traffic study should be done for site ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED FACILITIES: • Creatively designed leisure pool would generate positive cash flow and be desirable in a public /private joint venture 17 • 50 meter competition pool costs exponentially more to construct that 25 . meter pool . • Private organizations do not want to construct 50 meter pool because of cost to build, cost to operate, minimum users it serves, and small market of competitive swimmers • Senior Center is feasible and attractive to include in a partnership opportunity. Parking needs, would be during morning and afternoon hours and would not compete for parking demands in the evenings and on weekends. Senior Center. programming would best be handled by the City, fitness centers have little experience with senior, programming • Library could be possible in a public /private partnership . • Multiple gyms dedicated to public use are difficult to accommodate as time coincides with peak demand of health club members • If the concept is pursued, Request for Proposals should be issued to interested parties CONCLUSIONS: • . Both private clubs would like to pursue a- public /private partnership with the City • With either private club the results would be similar'to the Plymouth facility 1. City required to up -front substantial "capital dollars and /or land 2. Membership fees would be, reduced for Edina residents 3. City programs would have exclusive use of some gyms and /or a competition pool during certain times • Senior center is a workable option with both clubs but preferred the City continue to program the Senior Center _ BASKETBALL FACILITY CONCEPT: • Parks Real Estate proposal has potential for gymnasium space and court time • Facility would require departure from youth athletic association's free use of gym space • Concern with willingness of athletic associations and participants paying for court time • High cost of operation in for - profit basketball court facility is unproven • Proposal does not create a community center concept that becomes a community gathering place COUNCIL COMMENT Commissioner Maetzold, inquired about how many gymnasiums could be built if it was a joint venture with the "Y ". Executive Director Hughes noted the site would be completely used if a number of gyms were built. Adjacent Yorktown Park is owned by the City and could be used for more land,,if required. Commissioner Hovland asked if he understood if Lifetime or Northwest Fitness were part of a joint venture they would perhaps want the City to dedicate the City owned land 2 to them. Director Hughes noted the preliminary discussions did not get to that level of detail. Commissioner Hovland asked for more information on the two tier system for fees. Park Director Keprios noted the system would need to be a two- tiered system, one for residents one for non - residents. Executive Director Hughes said discussions did not get that specific. Commissioner Faust inquired if staff believed two gyms would be adequate for our needs. Park Director Keprios said the staff study showed a need for 4 or 6 gyms. Chair Smith explained a meeting had been held with attendees, Gordon .Hughes, Frank Bennett, Kenneth Dragseth and Glenn Smith. Chair Smith said he made it clear at that meeting that the City has priorities for that site to include a library, Senior Center, and commercial development. He noted from the City's standpoint, West Metro Education Program (WMEP) is a developer and communication had not been the greatest between the City and the school. He voiced hope this would be the start of positive communication for all concerned. SCHOOL PRESENTATION Frank Bennett, Edina Board of Education member and Chair (WMEP), told that approximately one year ago, the Council and School Board had a joint meeting to look at the Kunz/Lewis site. The state allocated funds to purchase land but had not allocated funds to construct a building. The City was looking at private development or at the WMEP school at that time. Since then, WMEP has looked at a site in Morningside which the School Board has chosen not to pursue as a site for a WMEP school. WMEP is a collaborative effort between Minneapolis and nine suburban districts to provide a metro -wide effort to emphasize city and suburban cooperation and education in a shared perspective addressing difficult issues with diversity. Many ask, "Why Edina ?" He responded 1) because it is a practical concern as the State Legislature has allocated funds for land in Edina, and 2) logistically, Edina is a great location in a southern suburb. Recently, the Department of Family Learning has allocated $14 million in its budget to construct a WMEP School in Edina and the Legislature is continuing to support the program. Mr. Bennett presented a concept designed by Setter, Leach and Lindstrom Architects designed for the Kunz/Lewis site. The concept depicted: • WMEP Elementary School - 120,000 square feet with 2 gyms • Library - 20,000 square feet • Senior Center - 15,000 square feet • Recreational Center: 1. two basketball courts 2. 300 seat theatre • Bus Garage (40,000 square feet underground) • Parking 3 He continued that locating the bus garage on the Kunz/Lewis site would free up approximately 77,000 square feet on the bus. garage site for commercial development. The .plan not only brings kids together, it integrates something for the whole metro -wide community. Chair Smith asked for status information on the other WMEP schools. Mr. Bennett explained the Minneapolis K -12 school is under construction and. personnel problems have been solved. The., Robbinsdale 4' through WO grade school will be an Arts .School and is under construction on property. owned by the Robbinsdale School District and leased by WMEP for 50 years. Chair Smith inquired what would be the program of the proposed Edina WMEP School. Mr. Bennett said nothing has been decided upon and at present is under discussion. One possible program being discussed is preparing children for a global education. Dr. Tofte, Assistant Superintendent for Elementary Education in Edina is at the forefront of planning that curriculum. He added if the school were located in Edina, Edina Schools would have complete control of the School. Chair Smith asked where funds, would come from to fund the school. Mr. Bennett said funds would come from, 1) the $3,500 allocated for each student by the State would follow the student wherever they attend school, 2) excess revenue referendum funds would follow the student as well, and 3) from the State of Minnesota through federal programs. Chair Smith asked if Edina school funds would be included. Mr. Bennett said the possible trade for the bus garage site could be a contribution. Other than; the allocated funds following the students, the School District would not be writing a check for the operation of the school. Commissioner Hovland asked if the TAGS property had been included in the proposed architectural drawing. Mr.. Bennett said the TAGS property was included in the depiction and would need to be acquired if the plan went forward. Commissioner Hovland inquired about enrollment figures for the Edina site. Mr. Bennett said the school would have 600 students and approximately 40 Edina elementary students through 6`h grade could be included in the enrollment. If the allocation of Edina students is not filled, other districts could take the spots. Commissioner Hovland asked who would control staffing, administration and curriculum. Mr. 'Bennett explained staff would come from the participating districts and a WMEP goal is to provide training and diversity education for teachers in the district. The principal of the school would report to Dr. Tofte and Dr. Tofte would report to the WMEP Joint Powers Board. Commissioner Hovland asked if WMEP is prepared to contract with the City of Edina for after school usage of facilities. Mr. Bennett said when WMEP is not using the facility, the "home- district" would have the opportunity to use the facilities. Commissioner Faust noted the original proposal was for an 86,000 square foot school and City regulations say for a school that size, 9 acres would be required. The Kunz/Lewis site is 8 Y2 acres and the plan presented now includes a school bus garage, community center, senior center, and four gyms. She asked if the proposal would fit on the property. Mr. Bennett said yes the fit would be tight but the architects assured them the site even meets parking requirements. Commissioner Faust asked if there is a 4 playground for the school. Mr. Bennett said a playground is proposed and would be located behind the proposed community center. Commissioner Faust said it appears to be very small. Mr. Bennett explained the architect had two weeks to do the plan and exact sizes have not been determined. Commissioner Faust stated she did not believe the proposal will fit on the site, even if the TAGS site is included. Chair Smith said he understands in order for the school to be built on the Kunz/Lewis site,' a variance .would be required from the State. Mr. Bennett responded some variance may need to be acquired in order to build. Commissioner Maetzold questioned if WMEP would need to purchase the property before the Legislature authorizes funding. Mr. Bennett said he anticipates an option to purchase would be exercised and the City would need to know funds have been, allocated for construction on the school site. A binding commitment would be required from the City to sell the property, subject to contingencies being met. Commissioner Maetzold said the City would need to have an escape route whereby the land would come back to them if no construction was done. Mr. Bennett said a written agreement would be necessary to protect both parties. Commissioner Maetzold asked what portion of funding would not come from the state. Mr. Bennett said generally the WMEP fund's would go toward land acquisition and funding for construction of the school, the 2 gymnasiums, and the theater. The library, the 2 additional gymnasiums, and the senior center would not be paid for. Funding for the bus garage was not discussed. Commissioner Kelly asked if a lease option could be put on the land. Mr. Bennett said. the downtown land was gifted to WMEP schools and the Robbinsdale School district has signed a long term lease on the site with WMEP. Commissioner Kelly said he sees this as an untested proposal. He suggested instead of building a whole other building, WMEP look at land near existing schools and encourage open enrollment. Mr. Bennett noted currently open enrollment is an option. Edina at present has 500 open enrollment students enrolled. Elementary schools in Edina are bursting at the seams and no real site exists to add on to schools with Edina funds. One benefit of a WMEP school would be to provide educational alternatives for students and the school could be constructed with ` State funds. Commissioner Kelly said he, believes Edina schools could . be expanded as well as adding more classrooms. Mr. Bennett said these concerns are legitimate but if rooms are added to existing schools in different locations, 1) who would control them, 2) who would fund them, 3) who would participate, and 4) who would own them, etc. The Legislature answered these questions by saying they would like WMEP to have its own operating school that they would run. Chair Smith inquired whether the proposed architect concept could be examined by staff more fully and. returned to WMEP at a later date. Mr.. Bennett agreed. Commissioner Faust said WMEP is evasive. She, along with the League of Women Voters submitted a number of questions to them awhile ago, which have never been answered. Mr. Bennett said he would be happy to answer any and all questions. 5 Chair Smith, said . after visiting a number of other Community Centers, Edina has a diversified Community Center with meeting rooms, activities spread out over the whole City and with no citizens putting up bonding money in most cases. What he hears from the Council is a creative solution needs to be found for this site. Commissioner Kelly said he has received numerous calls regarding the previous proposal for a WMEP site in the Morningside area of Edina. He encouraged WMEP staff to schedule a meeting with the public to keep them informed. A letter was received via FAX from James and Debra Blanner, .7213 Gleason Road supporting construction of a multi -use Community Center.. A letter was received from Bob and Jane. Fuegner, 5225 Kellogg Avenue opposing use of the Kunz/Lewis site for WMEP school. *AWARD OF BID CONTINUED.TO NOVEMBER 2. 1998 - GRANDVIEW AREA AND 50TH & FRANCE AREA 'LANDSCAPE' IMPROVEMENTS Motion made by Commissioner .

Motion carried on rollcall vote - four ayes. FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVED FOR 7103 AMUNDSON AVENUE (GEORGE KOSMIDES) Affidavits of Notice were presented, approved and ordered placed on file. Presentation by Planner Planner Larsen informed the Council the subject property is Zoned PID, Planned Industrial District, and is located at 7103 Amundson Avenue. The site is developed with an office - warehouse building with a floor area of 51,168 square feet. The Total site area is 149,000 square feet or 3.4 acres and is bounded by commercial uses to the north, industrial uses to the south, and residential uses to the west. The proponent is seeking Final Development Plan Page 1 Minutes/Edina City Council/October 19,1998 approval allowing construction of a second building to be located in an open area south of Amundson. The proposed building is 13,688 square feet in floor area and is suggested as an office building. Office use is permitted use in the PID district. The proposal presented at the October 5, 1998, Council meeting, required the following variances: 1) Parking setback from the public street (20 feet is required, 10 feet is provided on the north side); Landscaping (proposed plan meets requirements if only the new building were considered. The Ordinance requires the entire site meet requirements or be granted a variance). The proponent was asked at that meeting to attempt relocation of the building on the site to bring it more into compliance with ordinance requirements. Planner Larsen said no new information has been submitted. Presentation by Architect Nick Speredies, Architect with Welman, Speredies and Thorsen, showed a plan previously presented to the Council in 1989, depicting a building of 15,000 square feet with directional parking and with access from the northeast via a curb cut onto Cahill Road.:The plan presented at the October 5, 1998, meeting depicted a building of .13,688 square feet. After working with Planning staff to improve on -the development of the property, the plan now presented depicts a building of 13,308 square feet with, 1) no access on Cahill Road, and where the curb cut off Amundson Avenue is .reoriented back, eliminating the .possibility of crossover turning, and 2) redesigned parking lot providing two directions of traffic with ninety- degree parking tying to the parking lot to the east building. The proposed building would be 53 feet wide and constructed of brick, pleasing to the eye of the surrounding neighbors and is for planned office use. With planned office use, more stringent parking requirements are necessary than for a warehouse. The new plan depicts a 75 foot setback from Cahill Road which is a requirement when commercial developments are adjacent to residential. The parking setback from the public street variance would still be required where 20 feet is required and 10 feet is provided on the north side. The plan provides for enhanced landscaping. The site appears flat, but in reality drops off 4 -5 feet from the northwest to the - southeast and would require exiting directly out and on- grade. -Additionally, no access to the building would be allowed on the southside allowing for. more green space. Mr. Speredies noted the proponent has met with the neighbors who have had questions, but no negative comments regarding the proposed development. Council comment Mayor Smith asked clarification of what was requested. Mr. Speredies said a variance is still being requested for the rear yard setback. Mayor Smith inquired whether the neighbor to the south was notified. Mr. Speredies said the southerly neighbor had not been contacted. Mayor Smith asked how parking for the new building is tied in with the other property running north and south. Mr. Speredies said the property was considered as one large piece of property. Calculations were done on building area and building use by square foot to get to the overall parking need. Mayor Smith asked if the buildings are tied together. Mr. Speredies responded the buildings are not but the parking lots are. Mayor Smith asked what would happen if the building(s) were sold. Mr. Speredies said selling is not intended, however, the owner would provide cross - easements allowing access to the site. Mr. Kosmides agreed the Page 2 r Minutes/Edina City Council/September 8,1998 cross - easements could be made a part of approval of the final development plan. Mayor Smith, because of his absence at the October 5, 1998, meeting, deferred the discussion to Mayor Pro -tern Maetzold. Mayor Pro -tem Maetzold pointed out the main issue was the setback from Amundson Avenue. The Planning Commission approved a 20 foot setback. if a vote had been taken on October 5, 1998, the vote would have been split. The Council asked the proponent to return with another proposal for the site. He suggested consideration of a 15 foot setback on the south and a 15 foot setback on the north as a compromise. Mr. Speredies said the original design submittal had a fully- developed landscape plan showing additional landscaping along Amundson as well as Cahill with trees along the south. Mayor Pro -tern Maetzold asked if landscaping could be accomplished within the 9 feet. Mr. Speredies said it would be very difficult. Member Faust said upon examination of the area, one apartment building is angled creating a full view of the building. She inquired whether pine trees could be planted rather than deciduous trees in the southwest corner of the site. Mr. Speredies believes the two large caliper deciduous trees could be replaced with coniferous trees. Member Faust asked if the two trees could be increased to three. Mr. Speredies said as long as the number of caliper inches for the landscaping is met, they would be willing to plant anything. Member Hovland said he has a penchant for conifers and asked if they could be placed on the Cahill side of the site. Mr. Speredies said he would be willing to revisit the landscape plan. Member Hovland asked for a description of the proposed building. Mr. Speredies explained two sides would be constructed of brick and covered with canopies and the two back -sides would be concrete block or something compatible with the neighborhood. Mayor Smith said it is not up to the City to provide the highest and best use of a site. Variances are granted if a hardship is proven, but none seems to exist. He said any amount of beefed -up plantings along Cahill would be positive. Mayor Smith inquired whether staff would agree to cross - easements for parking being placed on the site. Planner Larsen said staff is familiar with cross - easements and any building permit being applied for would be thoroughly examined. Mayor Smith inquired if the use of the building changed, what would happen. Planner Larsen if building use were changed to retail, it would require a rezoning petition that would need to come before the Council for approval. Mayor Smith made a motion approving the revised Final Development Plan for 7103 Amundson Avenue conditioned upon 1) a 15 foot variance on the north, 2) a 5 foot variance on the south, 3) cross - easements for parking, and 4) additional coniferous plantings on Cahill Road in the southwest corner of the site. Member Hovland seconded the motion. Mayor Pro -tem Maetzold inquired if there would be a problem if the motion approving the Final Development Plan for 7103 Amundson Avenue were changed. Acting Manager Hughes commented that the Council is within their latitude to make changes to an approved Final Page 3 Minutes/Edina City Council/October 19,1998 Development Plan. The Ordinance permits granting variances in connection with approving the Final Development Plan. Member Kelly said he has a problem approving new construction on undeveloped land with a variance and believes new construction should be able to be developed on the site without requesting.variance. He believes the building is too big for the site and should be reduced Mayor Smith said he is familiar with. the neighborhood and if the whole area could be redesigned, he would make a number of changes. He believes a 5 foot variance will not make a difference in the neighborhood. Member Faust said she does not like variances, but upon examination, a 53 foot building for offices is almost at the minimum depth possible, and should be a desirable property to rent. Mayor Pro -tem Maetzold asked for audience comments. None were heard. Member . Hovland stated he wanted to make sure lighting on the site would be acceptable and that it would be downcast. Rollcall: Ayes: Faust, Hovland, Maetzold, Smith Nays: Kelly Motion carried. RESOLUTION GRANTING PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL FOR 7450 FRANCE AVENUE SOUTH (PARKLAWN PARTNERS) Affidavits of Notice were presented, approved and ordered placed on file. Presentation by Planner Planner Larsen said the subject property is located in the southwest quadrant of France and Parklawn Avenues. The property is zoned POD -1. Planned Office district. The Planning Commission, on July 29,1998, recommended approval of a Final Development Plan allowing the construction of a new 29,000 square foot office building on the property. The Council approved the plan on August 17,1998. Planner Larsen explained the property owner is now requesting a subdivision which would. create a separate parcel for the proposed new building to facilitate financing for the building. The proposed building and the existing building will share parking via cross easements over all areas except for the parking on the France Avenue side of the existing building. There is ample parking on -site to support both buildings. The subdivision does not alter the plans approved for the new building because its main purpose is to facilitate financing and possibly separate ownership. The cross easements would survive separate ownership of the buildings. The Planning Commission recommended preliminary plat approval subject to the cross- easement agreement being attached to the deed for each building. Staff recommends approval of the proposed subdivision. Council comment Page 4 Minutes/Edina Ci!y Council/September 8,1998 I Member Faust asked if the cross - easements have been placed on the deed. Planner Larsen said this had been accomplished. Member Faust inquired if there is adequate parking. Planner Larsen said yes, the figures have been based on a 100% medical office use which is a higher parking demand. Mayor Smith noted the Planning Department received two letters voicing concerns with, 1) being scared to walk to France Avenue because of no sidewalks, and 2) additional building creates more traffic and the area cannot handle any more traffic. Planner Larsen said he had communicated with the author of the letter regarding sidewalks and explained that construction would include sidewalks from their west property line (at Gallagher) to France Avenue along Parklawn on the south side which would complete the sidewalk link at their cost. He noted the letter regarding traffic was not timely as the building was approved in August. Member Hovland asked for more information on the schedule for commencing construction. Pat Giordona, Architect representing Parklawn Partners, said groundbreaking is scheduled for November 1, 1998. Whether the grading or paving can be completed depends on the weather and would be completed in the spring. The building is supposed to be completed by June 1, 1999. Mayor Smith asked for comments from the audience. No comments were heard. Member Hovland introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota, that that certain REGISTERED LAND SURVEY entitled, "RLS NO. ", platted by PARKLAWN PARTNERS LLC hereby granted preliminary plat approval conditioned upon cross - easement agreements being attached to the deed for each building. Member Maetzold seconded the motion. Rollcall: Ayes: Faust, Hovland, Kelly, Maetzold, Smith Motion carried. ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS AND ADJUSTMENTS DECISION REVERSED - 5 CIRCLE EAST (BRIAN AND ANGELINA LAWTON) Associate Planner Aaker explained the subject property at 5 Circle East is located on the west side of Circle East and consists of a single dwelling unit with an in- ground swimming pool. The proponents, Brian and Angelina Lawton are proposing to demolish the existing home and pool and replace it with a larger home with an in- ground pool. On September 17, 1998, the Zoning Board of Appeals heard the request of Brian and Angelina Lawton for a frontyard setback variance to allow a frontyard setback of 70 feet for a new home to be located at 5 Circle East. The established average frontyard setback must be maintained for any new home built along the same side of a block between intersections. The established average along the 5 Circle East block as determined by City staff included those Page 5 Minutes/Edina City Council/October 19,1998 homes with a Circle East address. Staff included 1, 3, 5, and 7 Circle East to establish an average frontyard setback of 83. feet for the proposed .project. Jeffry Tritch, residential designer with L.Cramer Designers and Builders, who is working with the proponents questioned whether 2 Circle West should be included in the established average. The home at 2 Circle West is the southern most property fronting both on Circle East and Circle West. The front door, garage doors and address monuments of 2 Circle West face Circle East: Inclusion of 2 Circle West in the average frontyard setback for 5 Circle East establishes a frontyard setback for requirement of 74.9 feet. Upon review of the request the Zoning Board of Appeals determined that 2 Circle West should be included, resulting in a required frontyard setback of 74.9 feet. The Zoning Board asked if the proponents would modify their plans to comply with a setback of 74.9 feet, thus avoiding a variance of any kind. The proponent's withdrew their variance request to allow a 70 foot frontyard setback and agreed to comply with the .Board determined setback of 74.9 feet. Associate Planner Aaker said a number of .neighbors opposed the original variance request and consequently oppose the Zoning Board's decision establishing an average frontyard setback of 74.9 feet for 5 Circle East. Associate Planner Aaker presented photographs .of homes at 1, 3, 5 and 7 Circle East and views of 2 Circle West from both Circle West and Circle East. Three neighbors are appealing the Zoning Board of Appeals determination of a 74.9 foot frontyard setback for 5 Circle East. Council comment Member Kelly inquired whether a sideyard variance was approved for 2 Circle West along Circle East. Associate Planner Aaker said a variance was granted for 2 Circle West in 1986 to allow expansion along the Circle East frontage and added that on a corner lot, if a home is fronting a side street, a frontyard setback must be maintained along the side street. The property would be subjected to a frontyard setback along their side street. If no homes existed on Circle East, the setback for 2 Circle West would have been 20 feet for a garage and 15 feet for'living space. At the time they were subjected to a 80 foot frontyard setback or side street because they were addressing off Circle West. Member Kelly asked if by adding to their home, did the home on Circle West become a' different address and have they asked for an address change. Associate. Planner Aaker said the home's address remains the same and no change has been requested. Member Maetzold said a variance was granted on Circle West for setback from Circle East. Is there any history of why this was granted. Associate Planner Aaker said examining the file information, to attempt .imposing an 80 foot setback the home could never have been expanded in a logical way. The minutes had a comment that the distance between the new. addition and the other home along Circle East is large and has a lot of vegetation between the two lots. Page 6 Minutes/Edina City Council/September 8,1998 Member Faust said granting the variance in 1986 was alright, when the lots were so visually separated but now, developers are trying to use Circle West standards applied in 1986 to develop a standard for Circle East. Member Hovland asked why 2 Circle West was not included originally. Associate Planner Aaker said this situation is unique and after further examination she decided it should be a decision of the Board of Appeals. Appealing parties comments Rob Davidson, 6 Circle East, presented a petition dated October 19, 1998, from residents of Hilldale objecting to the methods used in the calculation of front yard setbacks for the proposed new home to be constructed at 5 Circle East. They appeared at the Board of Appeals meeting on September 17, 1998, and objected to the variance request for 5 Circle East proposed construction. They presented a petition signed by 15 neighbors opposing that request. The Board of Appeals denied the request and recalculated the request based upon the inclusion of 2 Circle West. The applicant wants to include 2 Circle West address to get a larger back yard and closer to the street. Mr. Davidson projected a map depicting the block as a whole showing 5 Circle East currently has a 86 foot setback. Setbacks range from 97 feet to 64 foot setbacks for the adjoining lots. The position of a large majority of the neighbors indicates strong opposition to inclusion of 2 Circle West in the calculations. 2 Circle West was constructed with a Circle West address and based upon Circle West setbacks and had little to do with Circle East. The addition completed in the '80s permitted a 46 foot setback from Circle East because of distance from the neighbors to the south and north and great vegetation. The Board of appeals elected to include 2 Circle West in the calculations. The neighbors do not believe the property has anything to do with the symmetry created by the four houses of 1, 3, 5, and 7 Circle East. Mr. Davidson said further examination should be done on where the intersection ends in the area as well. He concluded the neighbors would like to maintain the symmetry of the neighborhood and adhere to the 83 foot setback. Kent Bank, 7 Circle East, stated he would have signed the original letter but was unavailable to do so. He asked where Circle East begin, where does Division continue, where does Cooper go. The home has always been a Circle West address. When entering the neighborhood four houses are seen and he requested maintaining the visual setback situation as it exists. Mr. Bank noted neighbors are not contesting the construction or architecture, only the setbacks. He pointed out it seems the variance approved in 1986 is coming back to haunt everyone now. Peter Beck, attorney, said he submitted a letter to the Council on behalf his clients, the Lawton. At present, there is no request in front of the Council for a variance. They made a variance request for 70 feet frontyard setback which they withdrew and agreed to comply with the Board of Appeals determination of the established setback. In Mr. Beck's opinion, the issue is, what is the established setback and which direction 2 Circle West fronts. Mr. Beck said he believes requiring a front yard setback on a corner lot is an indication that the Page 7 Minutes/Edina City Council/October 19,1998 property.should be averaged in when calculations are. being done. What is being talked about is an. 8 foot difference and which has a substantil impact on the home ,s design. The proposed home would be constructed approximately 65 feet from the home on the south to 118 feet from the home on the north. Any impact relating to the 8 feet would be much less than what they will be to the proposed home on 5 Circle East because of the depth of the back yard. Mr. Beck said if the Circle East side of the home on Circle West is the front, the established setback is 74.9 feet as determined by the Board of Appeals. The Lawton s position is that the front of the house is on Circle East. Mayor Smith inquired when present setbacks are not used.* Associate Planner Aaker said when the home is removed. If the house is existing it is part of the average. Mayor Smith asked why the proponents are not required to stay at 86 feet. Associate Planner Aaker states that any addition or relocated or built home must maintain the average. The existing 86 foot setback is deeper than the average allowing the proponent to build 3 feet from the existing home, according to the average. If the existing home is removed, the average is reduced by getting closer to the front yard. Leaving the home there, makes the average deeper. Mayor Smith clarified that we are not in -a variance situation but in an ordinance situation about how to calculate setbacks and the ordinance does not address the need or backyard depths. Mayor Smith said if 2 Circle West is left out of the calculation the setback is 83 feet. Member Hovland read a definition of intersection from MN Stat §'169.01, subd. 36(a) and asked. for Attorney Gilligan's interpretation. Attorney Gilligan said a determination needs to be made where the intersection is then where the frontage is between those two intersections. Member Hovland said this not simple and anyone asked could have an opinion of where the intersection is. Member Faust noted that the 2.Circle West home is literally across the street from a home whose address is 15 Cooper Avenue. Saying the house is at Circle West when it is directly across from Cooper . Avenue does not make sense. Attorney Gilligan said a determination needs to be made where the intersections are and which homes front between those two intersections. Member Faust said it seems that it would be Cooper or Circle West and not Circle East. Mayor Smith noted finding a logical solution is difficult. This is a desirable piece of property and he inquired what the next step should be. Attorney Gilligan said if it is desired, 1) a motion would need to be made to overturn the decision of the Board of Review with a majority vote, 2) a determination needs to be made interpreting the ordinance how to determine the average setback, and 3) determination of the location of the intersection. If Circle West is not. included, the average setback is 83 feet. Mayor Smith said not to include houses addressed on Circle West. Attorney Gilligan said or a determination made on the intersection termination. Member Kelly said if Mr. Beck is looking for an interpretation the original neighborhood should be studied. It is clear to him that 2 Circle West should be 2 Circle West and that is the Page 8 • Minutes/Edina Cif Council/September 8,1998 way the area was planned. The question is if someone adds on to a house can change what was originally interpreted. He does not believe this is the right way to look at this. The lot could be the shortest in the back but it is the his lot on the block. He suggested the developer look at the lot side to side rather than front to back for the proposed residence. Member Kelly believes this does not need to be interpreted and would be inconsistent with the ordinance as drafted and applied. Member Maetzold said he would support a motion to overturn the decision of the Board of Appeal that Circle West not be included in the calculation. With granting the variance a few years ago to Circle West, the decision was based on the fact it was not part of the four parcels on Circle East. He views Circle East as ending at the south boundary of 1 Circle West and Cooper begins at that point. Member Hovland asked if the Zoning Board erred in establishing a setback of 74.9 feet. He concluded he believes they did err and he believes the setback should be 83 feet. A variety of different interpretations can be given to the word intersection. Under the Ordinance, Mr. Beck believes it goes from one corner to the next and could be interpreted several other ways. He welcomed the Lawton s to Edina but in his opinion told them they would have to live with an 83 foot setback. Proponent comment: Brian Lawton, purchaser of property at 5 Circle West, clarified he and his wife had withdrawn their variance request after listening to the interpretation and have tried to move forward with his home plans. He asked the Council to reconsider the average setback for the home to be figured with the existing home demolished. Associate Planner Aaker said removal of 5 Circle East at 86.4 feet would include 1,3, and 7 Circle East in the calculation which 1 is at 83.8, 3 Circle East is at 97 and 7 Circle East at 64.9 giving 81.93 feet as opposed to the 83 foot setback. Member Faust made a motion overturning the decision of the Zoning Board of Appeals excluding 2 Circle West from the calculation and remove the existing residence at 5 Circle East from the calculations, ask staff to prepare Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law to be before the Council on November 2,1998, for approval. Member Maetzold seconded the motion. Ayes: Faust, Hovland, Kelly, Maetzold, Smith Motion carried. *BID RETECTED FOR SUCTION SWEEPER - PUBLIC WORKS, CONTINUED FROM OCTOBER 5, 1998 Motion made by Member Maetzold and seconded by Member Faust approving rejection of bid for suction sweeper for public works continued from October 5, 1998, and to be rebid in Spring, 1999. Motion carried on rollcall vote - four ayes.

Motion carried on rollcall vote - four ayes. TRAFFIC SAFETY REPORT OF OCTOBER 6,1998, SECTION A, SECTION-B.1 -5 AND 7 AND SECTION C. APPROVED; AND SECTION B.6 AMENDED Assistant Engineer Houle explained residents requested STOP signs on West 58th .Street at Philbrook Lane, Halifax Avenue and /or mid -park (near the tennis courts on the north end of Pamela Park). The request comes in the form of a petition signed by 32 residents and further requests additional Police surveillance and speed control on W. 58th Street between France Avenue and Concord Avenue. The request contends traffic flow has increased and West 58th Street is being used as a thoroughfare. The requested STOP signs would be used as interruptions and petitioners feel if this is not initiated, accidents will increase and people will be injured. West 58th Street is a collector street with no sidewalks. There is one 4 -way STOP on West 58th Street at Wooddale and signal lights at France Avenue. The two intersections in question are "T" type intersections with a light traffic on Philbrook Lane and Halifax Avenue, and with no observable problems entering West 58th Street. There has been one reportable accident in the area since 1991 for the stretch between France and Concord on West 58th Street. The accident was a one -car accident where. the driver exited a car without putting it in park and it continued down the street hitting a fire hydrant.'France Avenue and Wooddale intersections with West 58th Street have experienced accidents but have controls in place. Traffic counts and speed surveys were completed in July, 1998. The traffic count showed a Monday through Friday daily average of 2,608 vehicles. Traffic counts from 1996 showed 2,000 vehicles indicating an increase of around 600 vehicles per day. The speed survey indicated higher than normal residential speed for West 58th Street. The 85 percentile speed was 38.5 MPH in the posted 30 MPH zone. Of the 16,295 vehicles surveyed, 70% or 13,036 vehicles were over 30 mph. 5% of 983 vehicles were over 40 MPH. The. speed display trailer has been on West 58th Street five times within the past year. Assistant Engineer Houle said upon staff review, they recommended denial of STOP signs for lack of warrants. The street is identified in the comprehensive sidewalk plan from 1980 and is included in the current proposed plan. Residents would still need to petition, for these sidewalks. The Police Department will be asked, to step up their enforcement on 58th Street. Kent Oachs, 3736 West 58th Street noted he never sees Police cars in the area and the reported median speed of 38.5 means some cars must be going 50 MPH for the median speed to be that high. Page 10 [] Minutes/Edina City Council/September 8,1998 Following a brief Council discussion, Member Faust made a motion reversing the Traffic Safety Committee recommendation denying installation of a STOP sign on West 58th Street at Philbrook Lane, Halifax Avenue and/or mid -park (near the tennis courts on the north end of Pamela Park) and approving installation of a STOP sign on Philbrook Lane at West 581h Street. Member Hovland seconded the motion. Acting City Manager Hughes suggested staff study the area and make a decision where the STOP sign would be the most effective, geometrically. Member Kelly he personally knows STOP signs do not slow traffic. After installation of the STOP his street, West Shore Drive, speeds have not slowed. Acting City Manager Hughes further suggested the area be studied before the STOP sign is installed and after installation. Member Faust amended the motion approving installation of a STOP sign in the Philbrook Lane/West 58th Street area the geometric location to be decided upon after a staff study. Member Hovland seconded the motion. Ayes: Faust, Hovland, Kelly, Maetzold, Smith Motion carried. Member Faust made a motion approving Section A for: 1. Installation of the "No U- turn" signs on the east end of the Valley View Road overpass at Highway 169; 2. Banning parking on the Merlin cul -de -sac at all times; 3. Banning parking on the west side of Lincoln Drive per owner's request; and 4. Recommend traffic control changes as follows: A. Removal of southbound Brittany Road at Danbury Road (old West 691h Street), B. Install STOP sign for eastbound West 69th Street at Brittany Road, and C. Install "No Parking Any Time" signs on the north side of the new West 69th Street between Brittany Road and Normandale East Frontage Road; and Section B.1 through 5 and 7, and Section C. Member Maetzold seconded the motion. Ayes: Faust, Hovland, Kelly, Maetzold, Smith Motion carried. NEW WINE AND BEER LICENSE APPROVED - VIP RESTAURANT, INC.

In 1996, the City accepted a Conservation Easement in favor of the Minnesota Land Trust over the Carson property. The proposed amendment to the easement would add the Bonn property to the Land Trust Easement. Member: Faust made a motion to amend the existing Carson Property Conservation Easement and authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute all necessary documents, as follows: AMENDMENT TO CONSERVATION EASEMENT THIS AMENDMENT is entered into this 191h day of October, 1998, by and between the City of Edina, whose address is 4801 West 501h Street, Edina, MN 55424 -1394 ( "Owner "), and the Minnesota Land Trust, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation having its principal offices in Minneapolis, Minnesota ( "Trust ").

Ms. Kosteliz elaborated she has spoken to the offenders, dealt with the police, but said the law does nothing to protect her. Acting City Manager Hughes said Prosecuting Attorney Halberg has charged the offending neighbors previously with violations. He noted that staff would study the concern and contact Ms. Kosteliz. RESIDENTS EXPRESS CONCERN WITH STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS Gordon Johnson, 6409 Doron Lane, and speaking for. neighbor Betty Pollitt, 6412 Limerick Lane, expressed dismay with the storm sewer improvements being done in their neighborhood.

INFO/BACKGROUND: Council approval of the separation package presented to Retiring City Manager Rosland was inadvertently omitted from the September 22, 1998. Minutes/Edina City Council/September 22,1998 Mayor Smith stated that no area. of Edina is worse off than any other and that solutions will be sought for all the areas. Member Maetzold noted the Bloomington Ferry Bridge has been opened and that Highway 169 has undergone a major change and become a thoroughfare. If funds become available for sound abatement construction, this should be considered also as it is a major new change. Michael Wagner, 6804 Sally Lane, said that people need sound abatement education. Sound walls up to 40 feet in height will not work and he suggested utilizing the technology available through the University of Minnesota through the Civil Engineering or Acoustic Department. Lines of communication between Mn/ DOT, residents, and the Federal Government need to improve. He suggested funding a graduate student at the U of M in the acoustics program to solve this sound concern in a short time and with much less cost. Eric Ingwalson, 6708 Samuel Road, stated that other alternatives need to be considered. He asked Attorney Gilligan for advice on what legal route residents could pursue with the legislators. He suggested the City, residents and the State pay for alleviating the negative effects of increased traffic density on their neighborhood now. Mayor Smith reminded the Council and residents of a previous unsuccessful attempt in assessing neighborhood for sound walls along Minnehaha Creek. He asked staff to come back at the October 5,1998, meeting with a plan outlined. Member Faust asked if Mn /DOT could be asked to mend the fences. Engineer Hoffman said that this was not the only spot and that he would talk with them. Member Hovland asked if a resolution needed to be sent to Mn/ DOT to have a temporary guardrail installed at the Crosstown at 64th Street. Engineer Hoffman noted Mn /DOT should be encouraged to get the safety barrier work done. Mayor Smith directed staff to draft a resolution for the Council on October 5, 1998, encouraging Mn/ DOT to install barriers. Engineer Hoffman suggested that residents might want to represent their area by serving on a committee. SEPARATION PACKAGE PRESENTED TO RETIRING CITY MANAGER Mayor Smith reported a separation package had been prepared for retiring City Manager Rosland upon his retirement October 30, 1998. Member Hovland made a motion approving presentation of a separation package to retiring City Manager Kenneth Rosland. Member Faust seconded the motion.

FINDINGS, DECISION, REASONS The above entitled matter was heard before the City Council of Edina, on October 19, 1998, and on November 2, 1998. Brian and Angelina Lawton, owners of 5 Circle East (the "Proponents ") were present. Also present representing Brian and Angelina Lawton at the October 19, 1998, meeting were Mr. Peter K. Beck, their attorney and Mr. Jeffery A. Tritch, their residential designer. Neighboring property owners of the Hilldale neighborhood were also present and were represented by Mr. Robin Davidson property owner of 6 Circle East. The City Council having heard all of the facts and arguments presented by the appealing parties, City staff, the Proponents, and their attorney, and having heard and reviewed the evidence and law addressed by the Proponents, representatives, City staff, and property owners and being fully advised after due consideration hereby makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACT: 1. The Proponents, on September 2, 1998, submitted an application for a 13 foot frontyard setback variance to allow a 70 foot frontyard setback for a new home to be built at 5 Circle East. The property is zoned R -1, single dwelling unit district consisting of a home with an in- ground swimming pool. 2. The variance application illustrated a redevelopment of the lot with a two story home and an in- ground pool, having a building foot print of approximately 3,100 square feet, excluding the pool and patio area. The site plan demonstrated a proposed frontyard setback of 70 feet. Edina City Code Section 850 (the "Zoning Ordinance ") requires that the average frontyard setback of existing buildings shall be maintained by all new buildings on the same side of that street and between said intersections. The established average frontyard setback along the 5 Circle East block as determined by City staff included those homes with a Circle East address. Staff included 1,3,5, and 7 Circle East to establish an average frontyard setback requirement of 83 feet for the proposed project. 3. The Zoning Board of Appeals (the "Board ") heard the Proponent's 13 foot frontyard setback request at its September 17, 1998, meeting to allow their home to be built 70 feet from the front property line of 5 Circle East. Brian Lawton the Proponent, Jeffery Tritch his residential designer, and neighbors of the Hilldale neighborhood were present. 4. At its September 17, 1998, meeting, the Board received the report of the Planning Department, considered testimony by the Proponent, his residential designer and neighboring property owners. The Board considered testimony from the Proponent, and his designer regarding establishing the frontyard setback including the setback of 2 Circle West. Number 2 Circle West is the home located on the south end of Circle East and was not included in the average at the direction of City staff. Number 2 Circle K West is a corner lot with frontage on both Circle East and West. Number 2 Circle West has its front door, garage doors and address monuments facing Circle East. The average frontyard setback including 2 Circle West is 74.9 feet. 5. The Board reviewed the subject lot configuration, topography of the lot, the house plans and spacing that would be provided between the proposed home and adjacent homes. Neighboring property owners in support of and in opposition to the project were heard. A petition in opposition to the request was presented to the Board listing 13 households. The Board stated that they could not support the proposed home at a 70 foot frontyard setback. The Board indicated that they could support the Proponents maintaining the 74.9 foot frontyard setback line which is established by including 2 Circle West in the average frontyard setback calculation. The Proponents indicated their willingness to comply with the 74.9 foot setback established by the Board. The Board voted unanimously to establish the frontyard setback along the west side of Circle East at 74.9 feet. The Proponents withdrew their variance request. 6. On September 23, 1998, the City Clerk of Edina received a letter appealing the Board's determination of a 74.9 foot frontyard setback for 5 Circle East. The appealing parties were : Chris and Mick McCambridge 3 Circle East Jane and Robin Davidson 6 Circle East Rick and Jean M. Diaz 1 Circle East 7. Appeal of the Zoning Board's Decision of a 74.9 foot frontyard setback was heard by the Edina City Council on October 19, 1998. Brian and Angelina Lawton, owners of 5 Circle East were present. Also present at the meeting and representing Mr. and Mrs. Lawton were Mr. Peter K. Beck, their attorney and Mr. Jeffery A. Tritch, their residential . designer. Concerned neighboring property owners of the Hilldale neighborhood were present and were represented by Mr. Robin Davidson, and property owner of 6 Circle East. Mr. Robin Davidson representing the neighborhood stated that the Hilldale neighborhood is unique to Edina with winding streets and large irregular shaped lots. Mr. Davidson stated that he and the other neighbors present oppose the inclusion of 2 Circle West in determining 5 Circle East's frontyard setback requirement. He further stated that 2 Circle West has always been a Circle West property and indicated that the location of the intersections affecting the property is questionable. Mr. Davidson submitted a petition to the city clerk listing 11 households objecting to the Zoning Board's determination of a 74.9 foot frontyard setback and further requesting that the Council establish the frontyard setback for 5 Circle East at 83 feet.. Mr. Kent Bank who resides at 7 Circle East stated that he should be included in the names of those appealing, adding that he had been out of town and was unable to sign the appeal letter. Mr. Bank indicated that in. the Hilldale neighborhood it is difficult to determine where one street begins and another ends. Mr. Bank stated that there is a visual break between 2 Circle West and -the other Circle East properties: Mr. Peter Beck, representing Mr. and Mrs. Lawton stated that an 8 foot difference in setback affects the project and reduces backyard area impacting the pool and patio. Mr. Beck added that the front of 2 Circle West faces Circle East. Council members stated the development rd of Hilldale created a unique neighborhood consisting of angled streets and a variety of lot configurations Therefore, based upon the foregoing findings the City Council does hereby make the following: DECISION: The determination of a 74.9 foot frontyard setback for 5 Circle East by the Board is changed to 83 feet (including the setback of 5 Circle East), or 81.93 feet if the home on 5 Circle East is removed. REASONS: 1. The proposed frontyard setback of 74.9 feet is inconsistent with the other frontyard setbacks adjacent to the property and along the east side of the Circle East block. 2. The proposed 74.9 foot frontyard 'setback includes 2 Circle West in the average frontyard setback calculation. Number 2 Circle West should not be included in the established average, for 5 Circle East, and the inclusion of 2 Circle West would be inconsistent with the Ordinance and the platted layout of the neighborhood. Number 2 Circle West is a corner lot and was constructed as a Circle West home. Number 2 Circle West as originally platted and developed as a Circle West facing home with the front street along Circle West and the side street of the lot along Circle East. The property received a variance from side street setback in 1986 to construct *a room and 5 garage addition facing Circle East. The home at 2 Circle West and adjacent home at 1 Circle East are separated by a large rearyard and area of natural woods. 3. The proposed plan with a 74.9 foot frontyard setback requires a variance from the City's Zoning Ordinance for which a hardship has not been demonstrated. The plan could be redesigned to eliminate a frontyard setback variance. 4. The proposed plan results in a 74.9 frontyard setback which is detrimental to adjacent properties by allowing the home to be located 8.1 feet forward of the average frontyard setback of 83 feet along the block.

It would be a cold storage structure used by all Police, Public Works and other City departments as needed. During 1998, Mr. Rosland directed staff to develop a plan to place all non - seasonal equipment and other cold storage needs in one location to help clean -up different work areas, primarily Parks and Public Works. This resulted in the above suggested building and location. Mr. Rosland felt the building could be funded by part of the surplus of the last two years. However, a silver lining developed after the State and Federal officials declared this summers storms a Federal disaster. The City was reimbursed for use of its equipment during clean -up through a rental fee schedule and also reimbursed for compensatory labor costs. This resulted in a total expected reimbursement of $144,000 for rental of City equipment and compensatory labor costs. Also due to the storm, Public Works was unable to do many of its normal functions. This results in a considerable amount of funds that were budgeted for asphalt and road oil that will not be used. After analyzing the expected 1998 Public Works budget expenditures and the Federal /State reimbursement, it is obvious by adjusting work programs within Public Works, this cold storage structure could be funded. As such, this appears to be an opportunity to clean -up areas and provide a structure into which all the current outdoor storage could be placed inside and out -of- sight. • Page 1 Currently, we are temporarily using a part of. the vacant Kunz Oil building for such storage. We have always lacked the storage area but did not feel it would be a fundable project given all the other City needs. Therefore, now appears to be the appropriate time to construct such facility with disaster funds received and also remain within the 1998 budget. Also, the low bidder has withdrawn his bid due to, errors. Staff, recommends Lester of Minnesota, Inc. as the lowest responsible bid. • Page 2 w � roe t � ay REQUEST FOR PURCHASE TO: Mayor & City Council FROM: Francis Hoffman, Director of Public Works VIA: Gordon Hughes, City Manager SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR PURCHASE IN EXCESS OF $15,000 DATE: 2 November, 1998 ITEM DESCRIPTION: Storm Sewer - 7309 Gleason Road Company 1.

Info /Background: Staff has attached the following items to this report: A. Minnesota Department of Transportation's (Mn /DOT) 1 -494 Corridor Reconstruction Project Program. B. City of Edina's submittal after completion of 1 -494 EIS in 1992. C. Summary of Alternatives from 1 -494 EIS. Staff has prepared this document to update City Council on Mn /DOT's efforts to improve 1 -494. Mn /DOT has not completed the 1 -494 EIS revisions but expects to complete the document in 1999. Staff thinks it is important to reaffirm our City position that the City took at the completion of the draft EIS. Report/Recommendation Agenda Item V.D. Page Two The EIS had four choices: 1. No Build 2. Transportation System Management 3. Add One Lane 4. Add Two Lanes The City of Edina supported any build alternative to increase capacity due to the anticipated continued growth of the southwest metro area. It appears that the current construction schedule for 1 -494 is paralleling the third alternative identified in the EIS. The exception to that third alternative is the interchange reconstruction. Mn /DOT has said they do not anticipate any interchange to be rebuilt to the standards identified in the EIS. The interchange expansions are too expensive and disruptive during construction. From the City's viewpoint, the bridge reconstruction at East Bush Lake and West Bush Lake are in the initial $33 million dollar expansion of 1 -494 from TH 100 to TH 212. Staff has continued to work with Mn /DOT through individual meetings and through the 1- 494 Corridor Commission. This issue should remain a top transportation priority for our community if we are to mitigate existing traffic problems.

The City supports, Build'Alternatives 2 or 2A, to add' two. lanes in each direction throughout the, entire length of the corridor'., because right -of -way acquisition purchases for Build Alternative 1 (to add one lane in each direction) is almost the same as for Build, Alternative 2 (to add two lanes). 2) The single point design alternative for the East Bush Lake Road interchange has the least environmental impact, is the lowest cost, requires the smallest-amount of right -of -way acquisition, and is the most efficient interchange design. The folded diamonds to the east alternative is not acceptable due to'the. extensive impact upon business properties and the high cost of right -of -way acquisition. Full access at East Bush Lake Road is very important to mobility in southern Edina. 3) The 1500 foot long, $35 -40 Million main line .bridge /viaduct at Nine Mile Creek; proposed as-a mitigation measure for wetland and 6(f) park land impacts, does not appear to be justified given the limited scope of impact and the ability to provide replacement parkland and to create replacement value wetlands at a much smaller public cost. The main line bridge over Nine Mile Creek should be designed for drainage and flood control only.

All 'efforts should be made to retain mobility and access during the construction period. 5) The 77th Street /T.H. 100, interchange alternative should be analyzed to provide the minimum disruption to adjacent properties as opposed to the maximum design which involves taking of homes and businesses. 6) A corridor -wide construction mitigation program should be developed and Mn /DOT should provide a congestion mitigation coordinator to implement the. mitigation and transportation demand management strategies. 7) Sidewalks and consideration for bike lane crossings over I -494 connecting regional recreational facilities should be included in bridge designs over I -494. Examples: locations such as Normandale Lake from Edina and the recreational' facilities west of Normandale Lake. 8) The City of Edina encourages Mn /DOT to continue to analyze energy consumption and supports efforts to develop alternative transportation technologies (such as electric.and natural gas vehicles) to help reduce air quality problems. 9) Mn /DOT should develop a comprehensive relocation program to encourage business retention. The final design,and right -of -way needs should be identified as soon as possible to facilitate business and land use planni.ng,decisions. ADOPTED this 15th day of June, 1992.

HOV lane, the general purpose lanes on I -494, north of TH 62, will not have sufficient capacity to serve the forecast peak hour demand in these lanes. Safety The combination of additional capacity and improved geometric design on I -494 will reduce the average accident rate on I -494. In addition, because I -494 will be able to serve more of the travel demand in the Corridor, there will be fewer vehicle miles of travel on other roadway facilities in the Corridor which have higher average accident rates than I -494. The combination of a reduced accident rate on I-494 and fewer vehicle miles on other roadways is expected to result in approximately 20 percent fewer accidents in the Corridor with the Build Alternatives as compared to the No -Build or TSM alternatives. This is a reduction of approximately 1,700 accidents per year in the Corridor. Air Quality Analysis showed that because the project would lead to a reduction in traffic volumes on city streets and would improve the flow of traffic on I -494, there would be an improvement in air quality throughout the Corridor as a whole. The Build Alternatives will reduce carbon monoxide emissions in the Corridor by approximately 13,000 tons per year, or �. 43 percent compared to the No -Build Alternative. Travel Time The improvements proposed under the Build Alternatives on I -494 would save approximately 95 thousand hours of travel time a day within the I- 494 Corridor compared to the No -Build Alternative with the same level of travel demand. Energy Because improvements on I -494 would reduce congestion and improve overall travel speeds in the Corridor, the improvements would save approximately 13 million gallons of fuel per year compared to the No- Build Alternative with the same level of. travel demand. This is a reduction of approximately 8 percent. Although the construction of the improvements is expected to require about 54 million gallons of fuel, the project would save this amount in a little over four years. 1 -14 REPORURECOMMENDATION To: Mayor & City Council Agenda Item # V.E.

Info /Background: The City of Edina reconstructed Hansen Road in the 1980's. At the time, MN &S Railroad, the City, and the State of Minnesota worked together to install a flashing signal and arm system at the railroad crossing. The City received a permit for the construction from MN &S Railway. This installation required construction of a retaining wall to hold "up" the control system building adjacent to the tracks. MN &S Railway was purchased by Soo Line Railroad Company who is doing business as Canadian Pacific Railway. The railroad is in the process of setting up lease agreements for any encroachment on their properties. Staff took the position that the installations were in place with the permission of MN &S Railway, the original owner, and the City needed to do nothing more. However, after repeated discussions, it is obvious that the issue would be best resolved by entering into a five year lease of the railroad land at $20 per year for the retaining wall and associated landscaping (primarily grass). The initial request was for $250 which staff said was excessive. Staff recommends the lease at $20 per year, with an initial five year lease term. a w'91N�1j i Ce: REPORT /RECOMMENDATION To: Mayor & City Council From: Craig Larsen Information Only ❑ City Planner Date: November 2, 1998 Subject: Minnesota Livable Action ❑ Communities Act ® Participation Recommendation: Agenda Item: V.

Looking ahead to 1999, the Metropolitan Council seeks your community's renewed participation and continued cooperation in Livable Communities efforts. As part of the LCA legislation, the Council annually notifies each community of its "Affordable and Life -cycle Housing Opportunities Amount (ALHOA) ". The ALHOA is derived from the formula prescribed in. law including market value, tax capacity and tax rates by the county assessor. It is an amount of local expenditure to support or assist the development of af'f'ordable and life -cycle housing or maintain and preserve such housing. The enclosed ALHOA is the amount of local.expenditure expected of the community during Communities have some flexibility in determining which local expenditures fulfill the ALHOA contribution. Examples include local d clode enforcementa or local taxes toosupPort a local or county ars for housing ssistanc programs, local housing inspection an HRA. Incentives for your community's renewed participation include access to $11 million for housing, development, clean -up of polluted sites for business and housing development, and mixed use development. Also, your community's ALHOA expenditure will be reported in the Council's Annual Housing Report Card required by the LCA. Your community's intent to participate in the 1999 Metropolitan Livable Communities program is needed by Nov. 15. To help you in the preparation, a model resolution is enclosed. Planning assistance for staff or information presentations for elected officials are available by contacting.your sector representative (see below).: Questions about the ALHOA can be referred to Guy Peterson at 602 -1418.

The AMM also opposes the imposition of artificial mechanisms such as valuation freezes, payroll freezes, super majority requirements for levy, or other limitations to the local government budget and taxing process. Local Government Aid (I -B) Local Government Aid (LGA) is a necessary, state - raised resource to supplement local property taxes. Therefore, the AMM supports its continuation with an annual inflation index, along with additional state resources to further reduce the reliance on the property tax. In addition, any LGA formula changes considered by the legislature must have a positive impact on the metropolitan area. Homestead & Agricultural Credit Aid (I-C) The Homestead and Agricultural Credit Aid (HACA) equals about 40 percent of the total local aid and should be continued as part of the local fiscal relationship, with an inflation or increased household growth factor restored for cities. The AMM strongly opposes the conversion of city HACA to school aid. Tax Exempt Property (I -D) The AMM encourages the legislature to authorize cities to establish a program of payments in lieu of taxes by tax exempt governmental and non - governmental organizations, except constitutionally exempt property, (churches and schools) for the cost of services such as police, fire and streets to their facilities. 1999 Legislation Policies Revenue & Taxation Sales Tax on Local Government Purchases (I -E) The legislature should reinstate the sales tax exemption for all local government purchases without requiring a reduction in other aids. Local Performance Aid (1 -F) The AMM opposes the Local Performance Aid program. The current program is vague, creates complexity to the overall state aids programs, and approximately one - fourth of the states cities do not participate. Price of Government (1 -G) The price of government calculation in regard to local governments should be based on (1) changes in the sum of the levy and state aids, and (2) examination of long term trends, not single year events. In addition, consideration should be given to service provision transfers between governmental units, increased demand for services by citizens and legislative mandates or tax rate changes. Fiscal Disparity Fund Distribution (1 -H) The AMM opposes the use of fiscal disparities to fund social or physical metropolitan programs since it results in a metropolitan-wide property tax increase hidden from the public. Personal Property Taxation: Electric Utility (1 -1) The AMM opposes proposals for exempting the Investor Owned Utilities (IOUs) from the personal property tax. Under no circumstances should local units of government and their taxpayers be required to shoulder the burdens of tax relief for IOUs. The personal property tax is a significant portion of the metropolitan fiscal disparity pool and, if eliminated, would have a metro -wide property tax impact. 2 1999 Legislative Policies Table of Contents Revenue Diversification (W) The AMM supports revenue diversification for cities to reduce the reliance on local property taxes. Some examples include authorization for local sales taxes, payments in lieu of taxes, franchise fees, deed taxes to remain with city, development impact fees, or the creation of a separate income/ sales tax fund that would grow with the economy. Class Rate Tax System (I -K) The AMM opposes a change from the class rate tax system to a market value system, which would cause tremendous shifts of tax burden between classes of property, or applying future levy increases to market value, since this would further complicate the property tax system. Limited Market Value (I -L) The AMM opposes further extension of artificial limits in valuing property at market for property taxation purposes. Limiting market value increase on existing property to a non - market index or set rate will cause various property tax system problems. Similar properties will be taxed differently if new or sold and improvements will be discouraged. Tax shifts will occur mainly on lower valued homes and the ability to issue bonds may be adversely affected. Finally, it will be politically difficult as well as costly to persons owning long -term capped properties when it becomes necessary to sunset due to vast differences in tax liabilities for like properties. The AMM believes that enhanced targeting for special circumstances such as low- income persons better serves the tax system. Funding Shifts (I -M) The AMM requests the legislature to continue to reduce the imbalance of aids versus revenue between metro and outstate cities and to consider how this distribution of resources affects the economic growth and vitality of the metro area, and thus the entire state. Currently in the metro area, about 65 percent of the state revenue is collected, while only about 48 percent of the aids and credits are redistributed. 1999 Legislative Policies 3 Revenue & Taxation City Revenue Stability & Fund Balance (I -N) The legislature should not attempt to control or restrict city fund balances. These funds are necessary to maintain fiscal viability to. meet unexpected or emergency resource needs of city governments, to purchase capital goods and infrastructure, provide adequate cash flow and to maintain high -level bond ratings. 4 1999 Legislative Policies General Legislation (II) Mandates & Local Authority (II -A) The AMM opposes statutory changes which erode local control and authority or create mandated additional tasks requiring new or added local costs without a corresponding state appropriation or funding mechanism. New unfunded mandates cause increased property taxes which impedes the ability to fund traditional service needs. Public Right -of -Way (II -B) The AMM supports the continued effort of the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) to protect the authority of cities to maintain jurisdiction over municipal public rights -of -way, to establish relevant criteria and to obtain reasonable compensation for its degradation. County Plat Approval Authority (II -C) Cities oppose county authority over plat approval for plats that are contiguous to existing or proposed county roads. While counties have a valid interest in proposed plat decisions, this does not warrant a transfer of approval authority. Police & Fire Pension Provisions (II -D) The AMM opposes reductions of state amortization aid to local police and fire relief associations or benefit increases, which are not financed by at least a 50 percent employee contribution for the benefit or resulting deficit. The employee pension contribution amount should be set at 40 percent of the normal cost of financing the benefits even if this amount exceeds 8 percent of the base salary. 1999 Legislative Policies 5 General Legislation . Actuarial assumptions relating to salaries and investment return should more truly reflect experiences and bonuses. The AMM opposes bonuses such as the 13th check, which should not be included in actuarial assumption changes. 911 Telephone,Tax (II -E) The AMM supports the current distribution of the 911 - access fee and the limit of 30 cents per line per month to offset basic maintenance costs and enhanced upgrade. Any fee granted legislatively in excess of 30 cents should be returned directly to the municipality or public safety answering provider (PSAP) where collected. Fee increases granted by the legislature should be a specific amount not a general authorization and only for a specific purpose. Phase 2 Wireless enhanced 911 costs should be recovered from a direct charge to cell phone users. 800 MHz Radio System (II -F) The AMM supports the continuation of the Metropolitan 800 MHz Radio System legislation and board, as long as cities are not forced. to modify their current systems.or become part of the 800 MHz Radio System until they so choose. The system should provide a phased transition guaranteeing uninterrupted service and.be technically capable of allowing communities the flexibility to form various coordinated arrangements for dispatching and service provision. Since there are both regional and local benefits to local government units joining the system, the AMM urges the Regional Radio Board to seek a state appropriation to assist local units of government in joining the system. Permit Approval: Zoning (II -G) The permit approval statute delineating time limit requirements should be modified so that in the case of a rezoning application, a motion which requires a simple majority vote that extends action beyond the 60 or 120 day time requirement, constitutes a denial not an approval in order to uphold the super majority requirement of the zoning statute. Current law provides automatic approval if no action is taken. 6 1999 Legislative Policies General Legislation Witness Fee Costs (II -H) Since one third of fines for city- related prosecutions remain with the county and adequately fund this cost, the AMM opposes shifting witness' fees from counties to cities for these actions. Urban Reforestation (11 -1) The AMM supports the creation of a program in the Department of Natural Resources to provide for urban reforestation. Elections: Alley System Authority (II-J) The AMM supports permissive authority for statutory cities to adopt an alley system for filing for city council seats. 1999 Legislative Policies 7 General Legislation 1999 Legislative Policies Housing & Economic Development (III_) Livable Communities Act (III -A) The 1995 Legislature enacted the Livable Communities Act (LCA) to stimulate housing and economic and community development in the metropolitan area. The act permits cities to access about $11.0 million in funding for pollution clean-up, housing and redevelopment. As a participant, a city must adopt affordable and life cycle housing goals and a plan to achieve the goals. Since its inception, the Metropolitan Council has been responsible for program implementation, including the completion of an annual progress report. The report for the 1996 calendar year indicates progress toward achieving the stated goals but also raises concern regarding the preservation of affordable housing, particularly the demolition of housing units. The AMM has maintained that the LCA should not be amended until there are progress reports and experience with the LCA. Based on the reports and experience of cities, the AMM recommends: ♦ The LCA should be continued. ♦ The LCA should be amended to eliminate the requirement that a city annually elect to be a participant in the act and require by November 15 that a resolution to withdraw be approved. ♦ The state should appropriate funds for the LCA. The appropriation should not replace the current funding sources but should be in addition to them. 1999 Legislative Policies 9 Housing & Economic Development State Housing Policy (III -B) To continue the expansion of the state's economy, the governor and legislature should recognize the importance of housing to economic vitality and family stability and should adopt policies that preserve existing housing, permit the production of safe affordable housing and provide resources to produce and preserve housing. The AMM recommends the following: Land Use Standards and State Incentives ♦ Minnesota cities are responsible for and should retain the authority to regulate the location, size and amount, and type of housing within their boundaries. ♦ The state, in an effort to encourage more affordable housing, should authorize cities on a voluntary basis and provide incentives for such concepts as density bonuses and mixes of housing types and price ranges. The incentives can be, but not be limited to, property tax class rates and sales tax exemptions for construction materials. ♦ State funding provided for the incentives should not reduce existing programs. Housing Preservation (III -C) Housing preservation includes. the maintenance of the existing rental and owner occupied housing, as well as the retention of affordable units that were formerly subsidized by federal programs. The state should: ♦ Continue and increase funding the housing preservation program for federally subsidized housing that could be converted to market rate housing. ♦ Expand efforts to provide resources for housing rehabilitation. ♦ Provide a sales tax exemption fonconstruction supplies and materials used in the construction or substantial rehabilitation of affordable housing. 10 1999 Legislative Policies Housing & Economic Development ♦ Exempt public agencies from paying the mortgage and deed tax when developing or providing for affordable housing and redevelopment. Minnesota Housing Finance Agency Appropriation (III -D) The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency's (MHFA) biennial general fund appropriation approximates $78.0 million. The agency uses the funds for several housing programs including rental and homeownership. For the next biennium the agency should: ♦ Have its appropriation increased and the increase be used primarily for housing preservation, housing production and homeless prevention programs. ♦ Redesign, if warranted and with city input, the Community Rehabilitation Program to encourage additional participation from the metropolitan area. The redesign, if needed, could include modification of the area designation, and appropriation set aside, a multiple year funding commitment, recognition of local needs, the timing of the application process, and a linkage to the LCA. Family & Elderly Housing (III -E) Demographic trends indicate that Minnesota's population is aging. For example, the Metropolitan Council projects that the region's population age 65 and older will nearly double from the year 2000 to 2020. Since most of the population owns single family housing and they will be smaller households there could be a demand for smaller housing units. The elderly population will also be older than their predecessors will. In the metropolitan area, the Council reports that the number of persons age 75 and over will increase from approximately 110,000 in the year 2000 to 180,000 in 2020. Being aware of the trends, the legislature should: ♦ Provide additional resources to serve the low income elderly. Resources should include housing as well as related services. 1999 Legislative Policies 11 Housing & Economic Development ♦ Direct state agencies to provide information and technical assistance to local governments regarding the population changes and their impacts on public services. ♦ Develop policies that encourage the development of housing for the elderly that is affordable and provides an attractive alternative to current housing and preserves the current housing. Economic Development Responsibilities (III -F) The state should continue to recognize cities as the primary unit of government responsible for implementing economic development policies and land use controls. New or amended economic development programs designed to address specific economic circumstances with cities or counties should use problem definition as the criteria rather than geographic location, city size or similar criteria. Tax Increment Financing (III -G) The legislative Recodification Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Task Force will initially have a bill that will be absent of policy changes. Policy changes should be addressed separately from the recodification and among the changes the legislature should: Poolin ♦ Clarify that any tax increment districts approved between 1979 and 1982 have the same authority to pool increments as districts certified after 1982 and prior to April 1, 1990. ♦ Allow districts approved after April 1, 1990 to pool increments for affordable housing or pollution remediation. Local Effort ♦ Eliuninate the LGA /HACA penalty or allow an exception from levy limits. If the penalty is not eliminated, the restrictions on the source of payment should be removed. ♦ Authorize the use of federal grants and other local funds for local contributions. 12 19.99 Legislative. Policies Housing & Economic Development TIF Use ♦ Exempt redevelopment districts from the five -year rule. ♦ Reaffirm that cities alone should be authorized to approve city initiated tax increment districts and that counties and school districts should continue to have the ability to review and comment on TIF. ♦ Permit all cities to establish housing replacement (scattered site) districts and allow TIF to be used for historic preservation. Housin ♦ Modify the housing district income qualification requirements to allow the levels to vary according to individual regions of the state or counties. ♦ Remove the LGA /HACA penalty imposed on housing districts established between 1990 and 1993. Reporting ♦ Authorize the publication of TIF financial information in a format so that it provides taxpayers with useful information. ♦ Clarify that the Office of State Auditor (OSA) must give cities sixty days to respond to a violation of the TIF law prior to sending a notice of the violation to the county attorney. The notice to the city must also state that at the end of the sixty -day period any resolved issues will be sent to the county attorney for possible action. ♦ Require the county attorney to decide on action regarding violation within ninety days of receipt of the notice from the OSA. 1999 Legislative Policies 13 Housing & Economic Development ♦ Authorize the OSA to conduct a compliance review of a tax increment district within twelve months of the date the district is decertified or the increment is completely expended whichever is later. The State Auditor, upon completion of the review and resolution of outstanding issues, must issue a certification that the district is complete and not subject to further actions by the Office. ♦ Make statutory changes to simplify the TIF reporting forms submitted annually to the State Auditor. Property Tax Reform Impact on TIF (111 -H) During the past two legislative sessions, the property tax class rates have been compressed and as a result commercial industrial property taxes should decrease. The decrease could also result in revenue shortfalls in TIF districts. The shortfalls could impact bond payments and' other contractual obligations. Being aware of the impact, the 1997 Legislature authorized a $2.0 million grant program to be.administered by the Minnesota Department of Revenue and the 1998 Legislature authorized cities to establish special service districts to offset possible shortfalls. Being aware of the impacts, the legislature should: ♦ Authorize the grant program for 1998 tax change impacts in addition to the 1997 tax changes. ♦ Provide additional funding for the program and extend the sunset to the year 2003. ♦ Include the changes in class rate definitions such as maximum market value limits and number of parcels per class in the calculations to determine class rate compression impacts. ♦ Move the application and payment dates to coincide with the city budget time frames. ♦ Permit city councils to transfer funds from one city development agency to another to prevent shortfalls due to property tax changes or TIF law changes that would result in a deficit in paying outstanding contracts or obligations. 14 1999 Legislative Policies Housing & Economic Development Development Tools (III -1) Over the past several sessions, the legislature has provided cities with development tools to redevelop property, clean up polluted sites and encourage business retention and expansion. The tools include, but are not limited, to TIF, tax expenditures and loans and grants. Many of the state tools have supplemented local efforts. To continue this state local relationship, the legislature should: ♦ Continue the Minnesota Investment Fund. ♦ Support increased funding for the pollution clean-up program administered by the Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development (DIED). ♦ Require condemnation commissioners to consider the cost of correcting pollution problems in determining the final value of property. ♦ Establish an indemnification fund to provide financial security for institutions and individuals as they invest in developing and clean-up of polluted sites. ♦ Eliminate the requirement to match 'a portion of the clean-up grant program with local general funds. ♦ Continue and increase funding for the Redevelopment Fund established in 1998. Welfare Reform/Workforce Readiness (III -J) With the passage of federal welfare reform and enactment of Minnesota's new welfare program - the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP), public policy is placing an emphasis on work and job readiness. The purpose of MFIP is intended to support work and not to replace income when people are not working. To accomplish the goal of getting people to work Minnesota has adopted a work first program that expects, supports, and rewards work. 1999 Legislative Policies 15 Housing & Economic Development Among the program elements established by the legislature to implement MFIP are jobs training,. transportation, medical assistance, and housing. As MFIP is being implemented statewide, the state is, experiencing record low unemployment and economic growth and.as a result there are now employment opportunities. If the economy, however, declines, employment opportunities for MFIP participants will decrease and the state's human service system could be over extended. Being aware that a trained work force is a major part of an economic development strategy the legislature should: ♦ Provide state funding to match the maximum amount of available federal training funds: ♦ Continue and increase funding for state job training programs including Pathways and the Job Training Partnership. Modify the Pathways Program to provide public agencies with the flexibility to contract with training programs of employers, as well as those of public institutions. ♦ Continue and increase funding for the transportation and childcare programs including sliding fee daycare. ♦ , Examine the delivery system for state services (training, daycare) to determine and ensure that administrative procedures are implemented uniformly throughout the state. Business Subsidy (III -K) The Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development (DTED) and local governments provide financial incentives to businesses to relocate, expand or remain in the state or specific city. The provision of the incentives is usually part of a development agreement between the business and the public entity. The agreement contains a description of the incentive and the type of development to be completed in terms of market value or square footage and penalties for non - performance. The agreements also contain job and wage goals as required by current Minnesota law. 16 1999 Legislative Policies Housing & Economic Development In reviewing the issue of corporate subsidy the legislature should: ♦ Clarify the reporting requirements in terms of time frames and reporting entity. ♦ Exclude redevelopment and housing TIF districts from the reporting requirements of current law. ♦ Maintain the reporting of job and wage goals in current law but do not require a specific wage amount. Building Permit Fee Surcharge (III -L) Local governments collect a half- percent surcharge on building permits. The proceeds of the surcharge are paid to the state and are used to support the State Building Codes and Standards Division. Prior to 1991, any excess proceeds were remitted on a prorate basis to the local governments. To help with the development of affordable housing it is recommended that: ♦ The proceeds from the building permit surcharge fee be paid to the N HFA for the support of affordable housing and that the building codes and standards division be funded from the state general fund. Group Homes (III -M) ♦ State and county agencies must provide timely notification to cities of facility license requests and renewals and provide adequate opportunity to respond. Cities must also be aware of the special care needed by residents of such facilities in case of public safety emergencies. ♦ Clustering of community residential facilities because of economic, geographic or other factors should be avoided. Standards of non - concentration for state or county- issued Requests for Proposals (RFPs) should be established. 1999 Legislative Policies 17 Housing & Economic Development ♦ There must be an ongoing screening process, particularly in the correction area, to insure that persons placed in a residential facility will benefit from such an environment and will not be a danger to themselves or others. The licensing authority must be responsible for removing any person found incapable of living peacefully in such an environment. ♦ Facilities licensed by the corrections department should not be exempt from reasonable local land use regulations. ♦ A fair share concept should be considered within the metropolitan area. However, this concept should consider other factors including transportation facilities, job availability and other needed support services. ♦ The licensing authority and/ or legislature should allow cities to participate in the search for facility locations in order to meet needs of the providers, facility residents and the neighborhood. 18 1999 Legislative Policies Metropolitan Agencies (IV) Introduction: Metropolitan Governance Structure The Metropolitan Council was established in 1967 to coordinate "the planning and development" of the seven county metropolitan area. To fulfill its responsibilities, the Council has worked with local governments to establish policies regarding growth and development in the region. Over the years, the Council has been authorized by the legislature to be involved in the development of regional parks and in the operation of regional services. In 1994, two independent agencies responsible for transit and waste water disposal were merged into the Council. In the following years the Council was mostly advisory, but was given responsibility for regional policy development and coordination in the areas of wastewater treatment, transportation and airports. The Council was given limited approval authority for development proposals, which were of metropolitan (regional) significance but was not given direct operational authority. The Metropolitan Council's responsibilities have been expanded over the years. The Council was given direct operational responsibility for regional transit and wastewater treatment in 1994. In the following year, the legislature directed the Council to implement the Livable Communities Act (LCA). The Council's role with the LCA is to negotiate affordable and life cycle housing goals for cities and provide grant funds for the clean-up of polluted lands and demonstration projects that foster a mix of land uses and housing types. The Council's role has evolved since its inception to long -range planning and the operation of regional services. 1999 Legislative Policies 19 Metropolitan Agencies Metropolitan Council Principles (IV -A) I The Metropolitan Council is a planning and operating entity. The Council is not only responsible for guiding the growth of the region but also operates the regions wastewater disposal and transit systems. As a planning and operating agency, the Council's policies and guidelines impact local units of governments particularly cities. The AMM, in framing its relationship with the Metropolitan Council, has developed several principles that are incorporated into the following policy areas. Purpose of Metropolitan Governance (IV -B) The AMM affirms its support for the existence. of a metropolitan governance system to deal with appropriate regional issues and concerns. The purpose of the metropolitan governance system should be: ♦ To facilitate region -wide planning with the cooperation and consideration of the affected local units. ♦ To provide certain region -wide services that do not duplicate those that can be provided by local governmental units, either individually or jointly. ♦ To fulfill other specific responsibilities mandated by the state and federal governments. Criteria for Extension of Metropolitan Governance Authority (IV -C) The legislature, if granting the metropolitan governance structure additional responsibility or authority, should be specific in the grant. Additional new or'expanded authority should.be considered only when one or more of the following exist:' " ♦ The service, function or activity has been shown to be needed and it can be demonstrated that it cannot or is not being effectively or efficiently provided through existing general purpose units of government. 20 1999 Legislative Policies Metropolitan Agencies ♦ The service, function or activity is not an appropriate state level or local government level activity or function. ♦ Regional intervention is needed for protection of the region's investment in an existing metropolitan system. Restructuring of Metropolitan Agencies (IV -D) The Sports Facilities Commission and the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) are currently metropolitan commissions. The legislature should make the sports facility commission a local commission if the back -up tax is limited to one city or is expanded to additional cities. If the tax is extended to other cities, the commission should be restructured to have membership from those cities. The legislature should clarify the status of the MAC so that it becomes either a metropolitan or state directed agency. The determining factor in the agency decision is the nature of the commission's back -up tax. If the tax will be a metropolitan area tax, its membership should come from the metropolitan area. If the back -up tax is statewide, then the MAC should have statewide representation. Regionally Provided Services: Funding (IV -E) The Metropolitan Council should continue to fund its regional services and activities through the existing combination of user fees, property taxes, and state and federal grants. The current revenue system provides better visibility to the customers of the expenditures and efforts to move toward a single revenue source should be opposed. The Metropolitan Council, in conjunction with the operating entities and not the legislature, should be responsible for determining user fees. The fees should be consistent with regional system plans and goals and be established by an open, visible procedure including, but not limited to, public notice and hearings. A clear linkage between revenue and service should be maintained. 1999 Legislative Policies 21 Metropolitan Agencies Coordination of Local & Regional Plans (IV -F) The regional investment in metropolitan systems must be maintained and preserved by preventing adverse impact because of the lack of integration and coordination between regional and local planning. Regional system designation should only be approved if there is a compelling metropolitan problem or concern that can best be addressed through the designation. The regional planning process must, on a continual basis, have the input of local government officials. To ensure input, the Council should hold hearings and provide public notice and copies of proposals regarding amendments to the Metropolitan Development Guide. Metropolitan system plans must be specific in terms of locations, capacities and timing to allow for consideration in local comprehensive planning. System plans should clearly state the criteria by which the local plans will be judged for consistency. The system plans should also clearly state the criteria that will be used to find that a local plan has a substantial impact on or contains a substantial departure from the metropolitan system plans. The Metropolitan Council should continue to offer assistance to cities. The assistance should include but not be limited to staff support, research, policy guidelines, system statements and procedures for the review and evaluation of plans and amendments. The Metropolitan Council, in its review of local plan amendments, must have a procedure that will: ♦ Recognize that the Council's role is to review and comment, unless there is a substantial impact on or departure from the system plans. ♦ Establish an open dialogue between cities and the Council, including public meetings and public hearings. 22 1999 Legislative Policies Metropolitan Agencies ♦ Be aware of the statutory time constraints imposed by the legislature on plan amendments and development applications. ♦ Provide for immediate effectuation of plan amendments, which have no potential for substantial impact on systems plans. ♦ Require the information needed for the Council to complete its review, but not prescribe additional content or format beyond that is required by the Metropolitan Land Planning Act (MLPA). Metropolitan Council Focus on Planning (IV -G) For cities to meet their planning mandates, the Council must ensure that its planning, data collection and dissemination functions are fulfilled in a timely manner and are consistent with its statutory obligations. Growth Management Strategy (IV -H) The Council should continue its discussions with officials in western Wisconsin to encourage their adoption of effective growth control measures. Further investment in transportation infrastructure with Wisconsin should be contingent upon Wisconsin local governments and their implementation of such controls. The legislature should devise effective methods of ensuring responsible and controlled development in counties surrounding the metropolitan area. The Metropolitan Council should continue its flexible guided growth policy regarding Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) expansion requests as outlined in the Regional Blueprint. However, the Metropolitan Council must recognize that until there are effective growth management strategies and tools beyond the metropolitan area, tightening of MUSA expansion criteria within the metropolitan area will cause one or more of the following: ♦ Increased leapfrog development into adjacent counties and Wisconsin. 1999 Legislative Policies 23 Metropolitan Agencies ♦ Increased housing costs within the metropolitan area. ♦ Decreased economic growth due to increased development costs. ♦ Increased development activity in the Rural Service Area. Local Plan Implementation (IV -1) Local governments are responsible for zoning. These zoning decisions should not be conditioned upon approvals by the Council or other governmental agency. The AMM is open to the use of alternative dispute resolution procedures prior to judicial remedies. Alternative dispute resolution could reduce costs and time for all parties involved in the dispute. The AMM strongly opposes the creation of an appeals board that could supersede city planning or zoning decisions. Budget Process & Work Program Evaluation (IV-J) Mandated and non - discretionary projects should be identified, along with their funding sources and projects and activities which are discretionary but totally or mostly funded by state or federal funds should be identified. Previous year's expenditure history should also be provided. The annual budget should delineate the services formerly provided by the operating agencies and the expenses and revenue for those services should be clearly identified and linkages between expense and revenue maintained. Further, the funds or reserve funds raised for a particular service should not be used or commingled with the funds raised for any other service or activity. The Council's work program should meet four tests: ♦ The issue or problem identified is important to the regions well being. ♦ Council intervention or activity will produce a positive result. 24 1999 Legislative Policies Metropolitan Agencies ♦ The Council's action does not duplicate or serve as a substitute for a state level program or effort or what should be a state level activity. ♦ The Council is the most appropriate agency to intervene or perform the activity. Parks & Open Space: Operation & Maintenance Capital Funding (IV -K) The governor and the legislature should continue to appropriate funding for the operation and maintenance of regional parks. The level of funding should be equal to the statutory goal of 40 percent of the total budget. Regional parks essentially serve the role of state parks in the metro area and the acquisition, development and improvement of the parks should continue to be funded, in part, with state resources. Surface & Groundwater Water Management (IV -L) If legislation is considered for surface water management, it should be based on the following principles: ♦ The legislature should provide full funding if it mandates additional water management planning or implementing activities by local units of government. ♦ Local units of government should continue to be responsible for surface and groundwater management, since they are the closest to the problem. ♦ New state requirements should not add to local costs and duplicate reviews/ approvals should be reduced or eliminated. The AMM would support the following initiatives/ action: ♦ A thorough assessment of the Board and Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) structure and authorities to ascertain if it should continue to be the approval and oversight agency for surface water management planning and activities in the metropolitan area. 1999 Legislative Policies 25 Metropolitan Agencies ♦ A thorough assessment of the metropolitan area surface water management planning and permitting process with the objective of developing improvements in conflict resolution, better coordination between state, and local agencies, and streamlining the project permit approvals process. ♦ Compliance by local units of government located outside of the metropolitan area with the same standards and requirements for surface water management as those imposed on local units within the metropolitan area. ♦ A technical evaluation of the impact of 2:1 wetland replacement in the urbanized area on the goal of greater urban densities as stated in the Metropolitan Council's Regional Blueprint. Water Supply (IV -M) Additional legislation pertaining to local or, regional water supply planning is not warranted. If legislation, however, is proposed it should be based on the following principles: , ♦ Local units should retain the basic responsibility for water supply planning and management as in current law. ♦ The state should fund additional mandates. ♦ Potable water should not be designated a regional system. Regional Wastewater (Sewer) Treatment System (IV -N) The regional wastewater treatment system has improved the water quality of the regions major river and lakes. The system should not be permitted to break up or to diminish its effectiveness. Since all users benefit equally, the regional rates should be uniform by type of user. 26 1999 Legislative Policies Metropolitan Agencies Waste Stream Management (IV-0) The legislature should enact legislation, which will: ♦ Establish goals to reduce, recycle and reuse packaging materials and establish fees, taxes or deposits to encourage accomplishment of the goals. The revenues would be waived when the goals are met. Available revenues would be used to promote or enhance local programs to achieve the goals. ♦ Continue the Office of Environmental Assistance (OEA) as an agency that primarily assists local governments to manage waste effectively. ♦ Continue the role of cities in waste stream management unless a state or metropolitan system is established to achieve the same goal. ♦ Distribute all proceeds from any funding system for solid waste management activities and require distribution of funds to all entities involved in the system ♦ Provide that host communities for solid waste facilities will not have a financial liability for costs associated with operating and monitoring the facility. Such costs should be borne by the operator and in the absence of regulations should be assumed by the state. ♦ Maintain, at a minimum, the current compensation level permitted through surcharge fees and increase the level as well as making the compensation available to all types of solid waste facilities. ♦ Define municipal solid waste not to be a hazardous substance. The definition would enhance the ability of local governments involved in clean-ups to settle potential liability. 1999 Legislative Policies 27 Metropolitan Agencies 28 1999 Legislative Policies Transportation Funding (V -A) Transportation (V) The AMM strongly supports increased funding for transit and highways, both of which are a critical need in the metropolitan area. In addition, funding for mass transit including transit ways, light rail or heavy rail in existing corridors should be dedicated in a manner consistent with current highway funding. Funds allocated to the metropolitan area should be flexible so that the most efficient and cost effective transportation solution may be chosen. Funding needs in the next two decades far outstrip current funding sources and rates. Therefore, the legislature should consider additional funding and alternatives such as an increase in the gas tax, future indexing of the gas tax, use of the motor vehicle sales tax (formerly MVET), use of a certain percentage of the state general fund, a dedicated portion of the general sales tax, a sales tax on gasoline at the pump, state bonding authority for major projects, or a combination of these. If an alternative to the transit property tax in the metropolitan area is adopted, current opt -out transit systems should continue to be funded at comparable levels. Regional Transit System (V -B) The Regional Transit System should be a combination of integrated traffic management systems which include use of HOV lanes, express. buses, exclusive transit ways, light rail transit, and commuter rail corridors built to connect residents to job, retail and commercial centers, plus a variety of other transit modes, including taxi, bus, pedestrian and bicycle. 1999 Legislative Policies 29 Transportation Park- and -ride facilities for mass transit modes adequate to connect the regional centers, major trip generators and communities, both urban and suburban, should have integrated feeder systems to accommodate local buses, automobiles, van pools, bicycles, as well as walking facilities. The Metropolitan Council should work with local units of government to encourage appropriate land use controls along designated transit corridors to promote transit ridership. Transportation Incentives & Disincentives (V -C) The AMM supports the development of a comprehensive system that will facilitate an increase in the occupancy level of cars, reduce commuter trips and enhance the use of transit within the metropolitan area through the use of tax incentives and/or impact fees that encourages multiple occupancy transit use, the exclusion from gross income the value of commuter transportation benefits provided by an employer, and/or a tax deduction and tax credit for employers who provide commuter transportation benefits to employees. Transportation Utility (V -D) The AMM requests the legislature to authorize cities to establish a transportation utility for street maintenance and reconstruction of aging infrastructure, similar to the existing storm water utility, so that costs of improved facilities can be more fairly charged to the users rather than the general population as a whole. Highway Turnbacks & Funding (V -E) The AMM supports jurisdictional reassignment or turnback of roads on a phased basis using functional classification and other appropriate criteria subject to a corresponding mechanism for adequate funding of roadway improvements and continuing maintenance. Cities do not currently have the financial capacity other than significant property tax increase to absorb the additional roadway responsibilities without new funding sources. The existing municipal turnback fund is not adequate based on contemplated turnbacks. 30 1999 Legislative Policies Transportation '3C' Transportation Planning Process: Elected Officials Role (V -F) The AMM supports continuation of the Transportation Advisory Board (TAB), a majority of local elected officials membership on the TAB itself and the TAB process, which was developed to meet federal requirements for designation of the Metropolitan Council as the Metropolitan Planning Organization that is responsible for the continuous, comprehensive and cooperative (3C) transportation planning process to allocate federal funds among metro area projects. This process requirement was reinforced by the ISTEA Act of 1991 and the 1998 Transportation Efficiency Act for the 21st Century (TEA21). Motion Imaging Recording System (M.I.R.S.): Traffic Law Compliance (V -G) The AMM requests legislative action authorizing utilization of motion imaging recording system technology for governmental units, including cities, on streets and highways to assist promotion of safety and traffic law compliance enforcement. The technology has been proven and is currently used for law enforcement by numerous states, municipalities and other countries. The state should consider a pilot project on municipal streets in the metropolitan area. Airport Noise Mitigation (V -H) In 1996, the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) was charged with developing a mitigation package for legislative consideration in 1997, but the package was never developed. Costs associated with noise mitigation should be borne by the airport (MAC) and the state since the airport is considered a statewide facility. Noise mitigation programs need to be enhanced to beyond the current 60 DNL contours for existing and future impacted areas. Impacts, including environmental and low frequency noise, must be identified at all MAC airports and applicable mitigation measures implemented by MAC. By the year 2000, the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) should establish guidelines for airport noise (including low frequency) in consultation with the MAC, Metropolitan Council, MSP Noise Mitigation Committee and affected cities. This may include expansion of the sound insulation program to the 55 DNL. 1999 Legislative Policies 31 Transportation ; The MAC should establish a plan to assure funding for required environmental impact mitigation for legislative action by the conclusion of the 2000 Session and levy A property tax on MAC - owned and leased property if it is not approved. Due to an operations increase of 27 percent by 2010, noise impact fees should be created to encourage conversion to real stage III aircraft. This policy is not intended to impact airport development or construction decisions. Road Access Charge. (V -I) In order to fairly provide for major street improvements of primary benefit to a particular subdivision development but not directly assessable and to allocate cost so that new growth pays its fair share, the legislature should authorize cities to establish at their option a road access charge to be levied on an area or per lot basis at the time that subdivisions are approved or at the time building permits are issued similar to park dedication fees. 32 1999 Legislative Policies ` Committee Rosters (VI) Housing & Economic Development Craig Waldron (Chair), Administrator, Oakdale Beverly Aplikowski, Councilmember, Arden Hills Kirstin Barsness, Director of Economic Development, Cottage Grove Janis Callison, Councilmember, Minnetonka Dennis Cavanaugh, Councilmember, St. Anthony Dan Donahue, Manager, New Hope Gail Dorfman, Mayor, St. Louis Park Mike Ericson, Assistant Manager, Maplewood Mike Freeburg, Councilmember, Anoka John Goedeke, Councilmember, Roseville Regina Harris, HRA Director, Bloomington Andrea Hart Kajer, IGR Director, Minneapolis Coral Houle, Mayor, Bloomington Gordon Hughes, Assistant Manager, Edina Marvin Johnson, Mayor, Independence Dwight Johnson, Manager, Plymouth Jane Kansier, Planning Coordinator, Prior Lake Kathy Lantry, Councilmember, St. Paul Jan LeSuer, Councilmember, Golden Valley Joan Molenaar, Councilmember, Champlin 1999 Legislative Policies 33 Committee Rosters Ron Rankin, Community Development Director, Minnetonka Mark Sather, Manager, White Bear Lake Cari Schmidt, Assistant to City Manager, Mounds View Mark Senn, Councilmember, Chanhassen Kathy Thurber, Councilmember, Minneapolis Jerry Turnquist, Councilmember, Oak Park Heights Liz Workman, Councilmember, Burnsville Metropolitan Agencies Terry Schneider (Chair), Councilmember, Minnetonka Bill Barnhart, Government Relations Representative, Minneapolis Kevin.

The League of Minnesota Cities represents 814 of Minnesota's 853 cities as well as 12 urban towns and 25 special districts. All sizes of communities are represented among the League's members (the largest nonmember city has a population of 170) and each region of the state is represented. The policies that follow are directed at specific city issues. Two principles guide the development of all League policies. There is a need for a governmental system which allows flexibility and authority for cities to meet challenges of governing and providing citizens with services while at the same time protecting cities from unfunded or underfunded mandates, liability or other financial risk, and restrictions on local control; and 2. The financial and technical requirements for governing and providing services necessitate a continuing and strengthened partnership with federal, state, and local governments. This partnership particularly in the areas of finance, development, housing, environment, and transportation is critical for the successful operation of Minnesota's cities and the well -being of city residents. 1999 City Policies �l� LEAGUE STAFF WORKING WITH STATE AND FEDERAL ISSUES Jim, Miller, Executive Director .Mandates, telecommunications" Gary Carlson, Director of Intergovernmental Relations General revenue sources for cities including aid to cities and the property tax system, fiscal administration of cities, economic development and redevelopment, personnel, transportation Kevin Frazell, Director of Member Services Government innovation and cooperation, electric utility restructuring Tom Grundhoefer, General Counsel General municipal governance, telecommunications, ROW, municipal immunity (civil liability) Ann Higgins, Intergovernmental Relations "Representative Telecommunications, information technology, housing, elections and ethics, utility service districts, transportation, Y2K, ROW, cable regulation /policy Andrea Stearns, Intergovernmental Relations Representative Tax increment financing, economic development and redevelopment,.general government, local/tribal relations, civil liability and criminal justice Remi Stone, Intergovernmental Relations Representative Growth management and land use, environmental protection, personnel, municipal immunity, transportation, development fees Eric Willette, Legislative Policy Analyst General revenue sources for cities including aid to cities and the property tax system, fiscal administration of cities, pensions, public safety iv League of Minnesota Cities Legislative Policy Committee Members Improving Community Life Cathy Busho, Chair, Mayor, Rosemount Laurie Ahrens, City Clerk, Plymouth Rosemary Given Amble, Councilmember, Bemidji Bill Barnhart, Intergovernmental Relations, Minneapolis Kevin Batchelder, City Administrator, Mendota Heights Merry Beckman, Assn of Minnesota Counties, St. Paul John Blahna, Mayor, Landfall Kathleen Carmody, Councilmember, Brooklyn Center Peter Connor, Mayor, Owatonna Lorenzo Davis, Volunteer Coordinator, Childrens Home Society, St. Paul Colleen Dirkswager, COS Coordinator, Maplewood Mike Ericson, Assistant to City Manager, Maplewood Sharon Feess, Councilmember, Brooklyn Park Walter Fehst, City Manager, Columbia Heights Evelyn Fox, Councilmember, Breckenridge Sue Gehrz, Mayor, Falcon Heights Harlan Gorath, Councilmember, Fairmont Arly Gunderman, Councilmember, New Brighton Vivian Harf, West St. Paul Sue Henry, Administrative Aide, St. Cloud Fran Hesch, Councilmember, Hopkins Donna Holstine, Mayor, Fairmont James Hurm, City Administrator, Shorewood Greg lsaackson, Clerrk /Administrator/Treassurer, Cottonwood Julianne Manship, Lake Elmo Marcia Marcoux, Councilmember, Rochester Sandy Masin, Councilmember, Eagan James L.

The process began with a member survey of priority issues facing city officials. The process will not end with the policy adoption conference. The committees will schedule additional meetings during the upcoming legislative session to discuss additional issues, develop alternative solutions and to discuss strategies to implement the League's policies. Listed below is a brief chronology of the major events in the policy development process. At each step, members have the opportunity to participate in the development process. April /May The League solicits members for ideas and problems. A survey. at the Annual Conference allows members to formally suggest topics. . June The League President accepts applications for committees and appoints policy committee members. The policy committees are: Improving Fiscal Futures Committee Improving Local Economies Improving Service Delivery Personnel Services Electric Deregulation In addition, the Improving Community. Life Committee meets on a regular basis to discuss issues affecting "livable communities" and to develop the Improving Community Life policy guideline July Committees meet to discuss issues raised in member survey. Commitees can also form task forces to more thoroughly study specific issues. Task forces can include noncity members with a knowledge of the focus issue. August Committees and task forces meet to discuss issues and problems, accept through testimony and develop policy statements. September October Legislative Committee meets to finalize policies. The Legislative Committee is comprised of the League's Board of Directors and the chairs /vice chairs of the four above- mentioned committees. November Policy Adoption Conference. Members have the opportunity to discuss the draft policies, propose changes, and suggest additional policies for membership consideration. December The-Board adopts the Legislative Action Plan, based on input from the Policy Adoption Conference. January Legislative Session. During the session, the policy committees and task forces through will continue to meet on issues and strategies. Members can assist the League's May legislative efforts by volunteering to contact legislators on a variety of issues of interest to our cities. viii League of Minnesota Cities Statement of Intent There are many problems which limit the effectiveness of city government to improve community life, improve the fiscal future and service delivery of city government, and to improve the local economy. What follows are statements of the problems facing cities and the solutions proposed to help resolve these problems. These statements of problems and proposed solutions form the policy of the League of Minnesota Cities. Additional and alternative solutions to these problems may be proposed after the Policy Adoption Conference and the members of the League authorize its Board of Directors to consider and support additional or alternative solutions, if necessary, to resolve the problems identified in this policy statement. ix League of Minnesota Cities L Proposed 1999 City Policies IMPROVING COMMUNITY LIFE CL -1. Livable Communities To the greatest extent possible, legislation affecting communities at the state and federal level should enhance, not diminish, the ability of citizens, businesses, and local governments to work together in partnership to make every community "livable." ISSUE. Cities in Minnesota are at various stages in meeting the goal of being "livable communities." RESPONSE. The definition of a "livable community" below will be used to evaluate proposed legislation to determine whether or not it advances the goal of enabling all Minnesota cities to become livable communities. It should also be used by cities to evaluate their progress toward the goal of becoming livable communities. A LIVABLE COMMUNITY IS: WHERE PEOPLE OF ALL AGES • share a core of common values including valuing diversity, respect for each other, and good citizenship • feel: * safe * a sense of belonging * welcome • engage in life -long learning activities that: * prepare them for responsible citizenship * enhance the enjoyment of life * prepare them for changing job markets • participate in the decision - making process of community leaders • celebrate community • want to make their home • have access to: * good paying jobs * adequate and affordable housing * choice of efficient transportation systems including transit, pedestrians, and bicycles * gathering places 1999 City Policies 1 * desired information * choice of cultural and recreational activities * affordable goods and services, including health care • are involved in the nurturing of youth • care about their homes, community, and the environment • get to know each other • have the benefit of strong family support and nurturing adults • WHERE LOCAL GOVERNMENT • is responsive to the needs of its citizens • is actively supported by enthusiastic volunteers • is open and user friendly • encourages and implements cooperation and collaboration • provides and maintains an adequate physical infrastructure and promotes social infrastructure to meet local needs • educates citizens of all ages on local, regional, and state issues and government processes • informs and communicates with citizens to foster participation in public policy decision - making • participates in youth development 2 League of Minnesota Cities IMPROVING FISCAL FUTURES 1 FF -1. State -Local Fiscal Relations 2 Issue: Minnesota's state and local government finance system is complex and intertwined. 3 Cities rely on their partnership with the state to provide local services. On the other hand, the 4 needs and desires of Minnesota's communities are many and wide - ranging. While the state's 5 revenue- sharing system has been regarded as innovative and helpful, there exists a growing need 6 for local elected officials, those closest to the electorate, to be responsive to the service needs of 7 the local citizenry. To that end, cities need discretion and flexibility in determining local 8 revenues. 9 The 1997 and 1998 legislatures made changes to Minnesota's property tax system that will J impact the ability of local governments to fund necessary services. The reimposition of levy 11 limits, significant class rate compression, and changes in state funding of schools all may have 12 unintended consequences. 13 Response: As the legislature considers additional property tax changes, it should: 14 • carefully analyze the combined impacts of the 1997 and 1998 tax bills and changing 15 economic circumstances on the taxpayer and on local governments so that policy 16 makers can better understand where the system may need further changes; 17 • diversify available city revenue sources by generally authorizing cities to impose a local 18 option sales tax with voter approval; and 19 • reduce the property tax burden for all classes of property by increasing the state share ''o of school funding. Any increase in the state share of school funding must guarantee a 21 permanent reduction in the local property tax burden. The League supports paying for 1999 City Policies 3 I the increased state costs through income and sales taxes. 2 The legislature should not: 3 • ' extend levy limits, which are inefficient, ineffective, interfere with local accountability, 4 and ignore local circumstances; 5 • replace all or part of LGA or HACA with state - mandated categorical aid programs, or 6 local option taxing authority; 7 • switch from the classification system to a market value based system, which would 8 cause tremendous shifts of tax burden between classes of property. The League also 9 opposes applying all future levy increases to market value because this would further 10 complicate the property tax system; 11 • expand the limited market value law; 12 • interfere in local decision making regarding service delivery; 13 ! impose a state - levied property tax; nor 14 • cut LGA or HACA to finance an increased state role in school finance. 15 FF -2. State Shared Revenues 16 Issue: State revenue sharing programs address at least three problems with a stand -alone 17 local government finance system. First, the property tax base available to communities can 18 vary dramatically. These programs use state resources to equalize the ability of communities 19 to provide essential services without undue property tax burdens for local residents. 20 Second, nonresidents can take advantage of local services or create additional demands for 21 services without contributing to the taxes that support these services. LGA and HACA help 22 address the free rider problem where nonpaying individuals consume services without 4 League of Minnesota Cities contributing to the local tax base. 2 Third, allowing local units of government in Minnesota to only levy the property tax has 3 created an over - reliance on the property tax. LGA and HACA can reduce the overall reliance 4 of local governments on the property tax. 5 Response: LGA and HACA, or similar replacement revenues, must be continued and 6 additional state resources greater than the rate of inflation must be allocated to prevent 7 rapid future property tax increases. In addition, the HACA household growth factor for 8 cities should be reinstated. 9 FF -3. Taxation of Municipal Bond Interest 10 Issue: The state law that grants a tax exemption for municipal bond interest is being 11 reviewed and could be repealed. A repeal of this exemption will raise borrowing costs for 12 cities. 13 Response: The state should maintain the tax exemption for municipal bond interest 14 income. 15 FF -4. City Fiscal Year 16 Issue: The fiscal years for the state and cities are offset by six months. The state fiscal 17 year begins on July 1 while the city fiscal year begins on January 1. Lawmakers have proposed 18 changing the city fiscal year to coincide with the state. Such a change, while providing 19 questionable benefits for cities, would not correspond with the current property tax cycle, l0 impair historical comparisons of data, force cities to retool accounting systems, will adversely 1999 City Policies 5 1 impact city credit ratings, and could result in state funding gaps. 2 Response: The state should maintain current law and not change the city fiscal year to 3 coincide with the state fiscal year. 4 FF -5. Sales Tax on Local Government Purchases 5 Issue: In 1992 when the state was experiencing a budget shortfall, the legislature repealed 6 the sales tax exemption for local government purchases. Local governments now pay state 7 sales tax on purchases like road maintenance supplies and equipment, wastewater treatment 8 facilities, and building materials for affordable housing. This action currently costs local 9 governments an estimated $78.3 million annually. Because no additional state aids were added 10 to offset the additional cost, this repeal has effectively increased local property taxes to finance 11 state operations. 12 Response: The state should reinstate the sales tax exemption for all local government 13 purchases. The exemption must not be coupled with cuts in LGA or HACA. 14 FF -6. Delinquent Property Tax Penalties and Interest 15 Issue: Although city finances are affected by property tax delinquencies, cities do not 16 receive any associated penalties and interest on these delinquencies. Penalties and interest are 17 split evenly between counties and schools. 18 Response: Cities and counties should receive a pro -rata distribution of 50 percent of 19 the penalties and interest collected on delinquent property taxes with the remaining 50 20 percent to be distributed to schools. 6 League of Minnesota Cities i i 1 FF -7. Payments for Services to Tax - Exempt Property 2 Issue: Taxable property in many cities is being acquired by nonprofit and government 3 entities. Converting the property to tax - exempt status can lead to a serious tax base erosion 4 without any corresponding reduction in the service needs created by the property. 5 Response: Cities should be allowed to collect payments to cover costs of service in -lieu 6 of property taxes or special assessments from statutorily exempt property owners. 7 FF -8. Truth -in- Taxation 8 Issue: Cities must set a preliminary levy by September 15 which, by law, becomes the 9 maximum that cities can levy for the following year. In recent years, cities have not received i complete tax base and aid information in a timely manner. As a result, cities often get into a 11 guessing game where they either set a preliminary levy that is artificially high or else they are 12 unable to budget for unforseen needs that arise after September 15. 13 Response: Cities should have the authority to increase the final levy from the 14 preliminary levy to meet unforeseen and uncontrollable needs. 15 FF -9. State Administrative Deductions from State Aid 16 Issue: State administrative costs are deducted from the LGA appropriation. This reduces 17 the property tax relief provided by LGA and creates hidden appropriations for state agencies. 18 Response: All appropriations from LGA resources that fund state operations should 19 be repealed. 1999 City Policies 7 1 FF -10. Reporting Requirements 2 Issue: Budget and financial reporting requirements imposed on cities by the state often 3 result in duplication and additional costs.. 4 Response: Requirements, for reporting and advertising financial and budget 5 information should be carefully weighed to balance the validity of the state's need for 6 additional information with the costs and burdens of compiling and submitting this. 7 information. In addition, all state agencies should be aware of the information already l 8 required by others to avoid duplication of reporting requirements. 9 FF -11. Federal Budget Cutbacks 10 Issue: Congressional actions to balance the federal budget will reduce federal assistance to 11 the state and to local governments. 12 Response: The state should not reduce aids or increase fees to local governments as a 13 means for dealing with cutbacks in federal revenues. The state should take responsibility 14 for reductions in federal revenues rather than placing the burden on cities and their 15 property taxpayers. 16 FF -12. Local Performance Aid 17 Issue: When the 1996 legislature created the local,performance aid program, the legislation 18 was vague and the program was partially funded by cuts in HACA. In the future, the 19 requirements for applying for the aid could become an onerous mandate on cities and undermine 20 local decision - making. 8 League of Minnesota Cities 1.1 Response: The League strongly supports efforts by cities to improve the efficiency and L effectiveness of their operations, including exercises such as performance measurement 3 systems. However, these efforts should be local initiatives rather than state mandated 4 actions. Therefore, the League opposes LPA. If local performance aid is to be continued: 5 • the law must be clarified and the qualification requirements must be attainable by all 6 cities regardless of city size or staffing levels; 7 • all additional funding must come from new revenue sources rather than shifts of aid 8 from other programs such as LGA and HACA; 9 • the program must not become an onerous mandate requiring additional city resources; 10 and 11 • any information on individual cities that is collected from the program must not be used to simplistically compare cities. 13 14 FF -13. Price of Government 15 Issue: The price of government legislation enacted in 1994 was intended to measure the 16 overall effect of state and local taxation over a long period of time. The targets measure 17 government revenues as a percent of personal income. Unfortunately, the targets have been 18 misinterpreted and used unfairly to criticize city tax and budget decisions. 19 Response: The price of government statutes as they apply to local governments should 20 be repealed. If the price of government law is to continue to be applied to local 21 governments, price of government calculations should be: 22 • based on the sum of levy and state aid, not just levy; and '3 • based on long -term trends, not single year events. 1999 City Policies 9 1 FF -14. Capital Improvement Fees 2 Issue: New development and the resulting growth creates an increased demand for public 3 infrastructure and other public facilities. Severe constraints on local fiscal resources and 4 dramatic forecasts for population growth have prompted cities to critically reconsider ways in 5 which we pay for the inevitable costs associated with new development. Traditional financing 6 methods tend to subsidize new development at the expense of the existing community, 7 discourage sound land use planning, place inefficient pressures on public facilities, and allow 8 underutilization of existing infrastructure. Consequently, local communities are exploring 9 methods to assure that new development pays its fair share of the true costs of growth. Given the 10 existing authorization to impose fees on new development for water, sanitary and storm sewer, 11 and park purposes, it seems reasonable to extend the concept to additional public infrastructure 12 and facilities improvement also necessitated by new development. 13 Response: The legislature should authorize cities to impose capital improvement fees so 14 that new development pays its fair share of the off -site, as well as the on -site, costs of public 15 infrastructure and other public facilities needed to adequately serve new development. 16 FF -15. Deferred Assessments for Roads I 17 . Issue: Current law allows a city to recoup the costs for water, storm sewer, or sanitary sewer 18 improvements by levying additional assessments on the property benefitting from the 19 improvement but not previously assessed. This authority for deferred assessment has not been 20 extended to other infrastructure, such as road improvements, even though properties are 21 benefitting from the improvements. 10 League of Minnesota Cities 1 Response: Cities should be able to assess the cost of infrastructure improvements for roads. Cities should be allowed to defer assessments against property located outside the 3 city for road improvements benefiting property abutting the improvement but were not 4 previously assessed for the improvement. For example, if a city makes road improvements 5 to a road that benefits city residents and township residents, the city may defer the 6 assessments to the township property until such time as the property is brought into the 7 city. Once the township property is brought into the city, the city may assess that newly 8 acquired property for road improvements previously done but not assessed at the time of 9 the improvements. 10 FF -16. Taxation of Electronic Commerce Issue: Sales over the Internet and other electronic means are projected to increase 12 exponentially over the next several years. Because of the difficulty of assigning a location to 13 electronic sales, because many Internet "goods" 'are not tangible property, and due to potential 14 federal intervention, electronic transactions pose significant tax policy challenges. 15 Response: Federal tax policy must not put main street businesses at a competitive 16 disadvantage to electronic retailers, must not jeopardize repayment of bonds backed by 17 state and local sales tax revenues, and should ensure stability in state and local revenues. 18 FF -17. Local Option Sales Taxes 19 Issue: Last year, the legislature authorized local sales taxes for 13 cities to fund regional "0 projects in nine Greater Minnesota regional centers. 1999 City Policies 11 1 Most Minnesota cities would benefit from diversification of the revenue sources available to 2 them to relieve the local property tax burden. 3 Response: The legislature should generally authorize local sales taxes for cities upon 4 local approval. 5 FF -18. Limited Market Value 6 Issue: Rapidly rising property values in some parts of the state have fueled legislative 7 proposals to expand the current limited market value law. One proposal would establish the 8 consumer price index as the maximum annual market value increase and extend the limit to all 9 classes of property. 10 Further restricting market value increases would have several negative consequences: 11 • It would unfairly shift taxes from properties experiencing growth in value onto all other 12 properties. 13 • Over the long -term, similar properties would be taxed at widely different rates merely due to 14 when the properties were last sold. 15 • It could discourage the sale of property because sales would return the property to full market 16 value for tax purposes. 17 • It would discourage improvements to property, which would trigger a return to full market 18 value for tax purposes. This could lead to degradation of housing and other types of property. 19 • It could adversely affect the ability of cities to bond for infrastructure improvements or for 20 tax increment financing since local tax bases would not reflect the growth in property values. 21 • Once implemented, limited market value provisions are politically difficult to sunset due to 12 , League of Minnesota Cities I the potential for large one -year tax shifts onto properties whose values were artificially 2 capped by the program. 3 Response: The League opposes any expansion of the limited market value law. 4 FF -19. State Charges for Administrative Services 5 Issue: Currently, some state agencies have wide discretion in setting the fees for special 6 services they provide to local governments. For example, the state Department of Revenue 7 recently increased the fee for administering local sales taxes by 80 percent in the middle of a 8 budget year with less than six weeks notice. The increase had no apparent relationship to 9 increased cost of providing the service. 10 Response: State agencies should be required to demonstrate the need for increases in service fees, and should give adequate notice of increases to allow local governments to 12 budget for the increases. State agencies should set administrative service fees as close as 13 possible to the marginal cost of providing the service. Local government should be given 14 the option to self - administer or contract with the private sector for the service if the state 15 cannot provide the service at a reasonable cost. 16 Improving Local Economies 17 LE -1. Tax Increment Financing 18 Issue: The State of Minnesota has effectively delegated the responsibility for economic 19 development and redevelopment to cities. Unfortunately, neighboring states have given their cities more development tools and, therefore, cities in these states have a competitive advantage 1999 City Policies 13 1 over Minnesota cities. In Minnesota, tax increment financing is the most viable tool available to 2 all cities in their economic development and redevelopment efforts. The state, whether based on 3 a- lack of information or misinformation, has been critical of cities' use of the tool and has 4 implemented a series of restrictions over the past several years rather than partnering with cities 5 and encouraging their endeavors to improve and enhance the economic well -being of Minnesota 6 and the growth and redevelopment of its cities. Cities, required to assume the financial risks 7 associated with development decisions, have used tax increment financing responsibly and 8 examples of these positive uses abound. 9 Response: To effectively compete with other states, Minnesota must provide its cities. 10 greater flexibility in the use of tax increment financing and other economic development 11 programs. The state should partner with cities in economic development and 12 redevelopment activities and encourage cities' use of tax increment in achieving the 13 laudable goals of long -term tax base stabilization and growth; job creation, development of 14 low -to- moderate income housing, remediation.of pollution, elimination of blight, recycling 15 and redevelopment of the infrastructure, and redevelopment of its communities. Counties 16 and school districts are appropriately involved in cities' development decisions through 17 current "review and comment" requirements. 18 LE -2. TIF Recodification 19 Issue: A legislative task force was created by the 1997 legislature and directed to recodify 20 the tax increment statutes for the purpose of simplification only, with no policy implications. 21 Response: TIF recodification legislation should remain an independent bill. Any TIF 22 policy issues identified should be separately addressed. 14 League of Minnesota Cities LE -3. TIF Reform 2 Issue: It is likely that several TIF policy issues will be identified during the 1999 legislative 3 session. 4 Response: Along with these policy issues, the legislature should equally consider: 5 • clarifying that any tax increment districts approved between 1979 and 1982 have the 6 same authority to pool increments as districts certified after 1982 and prior to April 1, 7 1990; 8 • authorizing any tax increment districts approved after April 1, 1990 to pool increments 9 in the same manner as districts certified prior to April 1,1990; 10 • in light of levy limits, eliminating the LGA/HACA penalty currently imposed on 11 districts or allow an exception from levy limits. If the penalty is not eliminated, the restrictions on the source of payment should be removed; 13 • expanding the use of tax increment financing to assist in the development of 14 technological infrastructure, job training, the restoration of historic structures and for 15 nonretail commercial projects (e.g., software companies, banks, and insurance 16 companies); 17 • exempting redevelopment districts from the "five year rule;" 18 • modifying the housing district income qualification level requirements to allow the 19 levels to vary according to those specific to individual communities; 20 • authorizing the use of federal grants and other funds for local contributions; 21 • removing the LGA/HACA penalty imposed on housing districts established between the 22 penalty years of 1990 and 1993; 23 • making any necessary statutory changes to allow the Office of the State Auditor to 1999 City Policies 15 1 simplify their TIF reporting forms in consultation with those required to complete the 2 forms; and 3 • authorizing TIF financial information to be published in a more simplified format so 4 that it provides the average taxpayer with useful information. 5 LE -4. Impact of Property Tax Reform on Existing TIF Districts 6 Issue: The 1997 and 1998 legislatures compressed property tax class rates which, in turn, 7 jeopardized the repayment of outstanding debt or other obligations in existing TIF districts. 8 Given the long -term nature of property tax reform, cities could not have anticipated the impact of 9 the 1997 and 1998 class rate changes nor can cities project the impact of future changes. The $2 10 million provided by the 1997 legislature for grants where the class rate changes cause TIF district 11 deficits, while critically needed, is likely to be insufficient to cover every deficit, does not 12 provide timely reimbursements, and is administratively confusing. � The special taxing district 13 authority provided by the 1998 legislature may be useful in certain cities but is only a partial 14 solution. 15 Response: The legislature should provide additional state resources so that TIF 16 obligations can be met and third party. bondholders are protected because the $2 million 17 fund is insufficient to' cover deficits caused by the 1997 class rate changes. The legislature 18 should also bring clarification'to the administration of the grant process and should 19 require timely reimbursement. 20 LE -5. Corporate Subsidy Reform 21 Issue: Cities support public notice, participation, and accountability in the use of public 16 League of Minnesota Cities funds. Current mechanisms are in place to ensure that these are adequately provided. Proponents 2 of corporate subsidy reform would like to implement what they see as increased protections. 3 Response: Current law adequately provides for public notice, participation, and 4 accountability for the use of public funds. Cities oppose: 5 • measures which conflict with existing law or which may establish a duplicative 6 procedure; 7 • one minimum wage level which does not recognize or provide sufficient flexibility for 8 the numerous submarkets which exist throughout the state; 9 • identifying industrial revenue bonds, whose tax exempt status is a result of federal 10 decision - making, as a subsidy; 11 • processes which hold cities accountable for decisions made by businesses and for the validity of such decisions; and 13 • requiring developers to enter into workforce and salary agreements when developers 14 are not responsible for the employment levels and compensation packages offered to 15 their tenants' employees. 16 LE -6. Economic Development Programs 17 Issue: The Minnesota Investment Fund is not adequately funded. The state does not 18 authorize an adequate slate of tools for local governments to assist job creation, redevelop blight 19 and decay, and provide adequate housing choices. Consequently, cities are not well equipped to 20 compete nationally and internationally for business development. 11 Response: 22 • More state resources should continue to be contributed to the Minnesota Investment 1999 City Policies 17 I Fund. 2 • Congress should remove the caps that have been placed on Industrial Development 3 Bonds and acknowledge that the extensive eligibility requirements now adequately limit 4 their use. 5 LE -7. Redevelopment Programs 6 Issue: Communities across the State of Minnesota are faced with the unique circumstances 7 of deteriorating, obsolete, and vacant structures in neighborhoods and downtowns and a lack of 8 land for development. Redevelopment activities usually require large, up -front funds to address 9 multi -phase projects of extensive duration where site assemblage, demolition, relocation, or t 10 pollution clean -up must occur before private- sector interest can be generated. The 1998 11 legislature's creation of a Redevelopment Account is a first step in establishing a coherent 12 statewide policy and should help combat the increasing problem of urban sprawl. Additionally, 13 deterioration threatens historic structures in cities across the state. Currently, there are not 14 enough tools for cities to utilize in local historic preservation efforts. 15 Response: In recognition of the unique needs of redevelopment projects, the state 16 should continue its commitment to _reinvest in its communities by increasing funding for 17 the Redevelopment Account and should undertake a comprehensive approach which 18 provides financial assistance to address their redevelopment needs such as state tax credits, 19 TIF subdistricts, and other tax incentives for local historic preservation efforts. 20 LE -8. Property Tax Abatement Authority 21 Issue: In an effort to increase the number of development tools available, the 1997 legislature 18 League of Minnesota Cities authorized local units of government to grant property tax abatements. Although TIF continues 2 to be the primary financing mechanism for local development projects, tax abatements provide a 3 good addition to a needed list of economic development tools. In order to provide maximum 4 benefits, tax abatements should be less restrictive in terms of funding caps and financing terms. 5 Property tax abatements should not be considered a replacement for tax increment financing. 6 Response: TIF is still the primary viable development tool available. Abatement 7 authority should continue to be available but not be offered as a rationale to eliminate TIF. 8 LE -9. Brownfields 9. Issue: Brownfields are lands that are not suitable for development due to the presence of 10 chemical or other contaminants. Brownfields are a major cause of blight within communities across the state through loss of local tax base, jobs, housing quality, public safety and community 12 confidence. Revitalizing this land is costly and requires the cooperation of city, county, school, 13 regional, state and federal governments and the assistance of local economic development 14 organizations and citizens. As we move into an era where the mass creation of jobs is a necessity 15 and where increased tax base is a requirement for local governments to adequately face growing 16 financial pressures, efforts to revitalize brownfields must not only continue but be accelerated in 17 the upcoming years. Currently, $7 million exists in the Department of Trade and Economic 18 Development's (DTED) base for the contaminated site clean-up fund. Additionally, $6.2 million . 19 is appropriated annually from the Petrofund to DTED to be used to clean petroleum- related 20 contamination without the requirement of an identifiable tank source. 21 Response: A comprehensive set of economic development programs must be maintained 22 for cities and other development agencies. The legislature should: 1999 City Policies 19 I • increase funding for the Department of Trade and Economic_ Development's 2 contaminated site clean -up fund and redevelopment account; 3 • act to strengthen enforcement and collection of revenues for the state contamination 4 tax; 5 0 continue support for and funding of local and regional programs to assist in the efforts 6 to remediate brownfields; 7 • establish a fully- funded program to allow cities and other development authorities to 8 gain control of and reclaim and revitalize brownfields; 9 • protect existing tax increment financing provisions that provide for the remediation of 10 brownfields and modify restrictions to allow the pooling of district revenues to assist in 11 the financing of remediation of brownfields; 12 0 establish an indemnification fund to provide financial security for institutions and 13 individuals as they invest in efforts to recycle brownfields in order to leverage private 14 investment in cities' efforts to increase their tax base and create jobs; and 15 • continue financing mechanisms for cleaning contaminated sites. 16 LE -10. Growth Management and Annexation -17 Issue: Unplanned and uncontrolled urban growth has a negative environmental, fiscal, and 18 governmental impact for cities, counties, and state governments because it increases the costs of 19 providing government services and results in the loss of natural resource areas and prime 20 agricultural land. 21 Response: The League believes that the existing framework for guiding growth and 22 development primarily through local plans and controls adopted by local governments 20 League of Minnesota Cities should form the basis of a statewide planning policy and that the state should not adopt a 2 mandatory comprehensive statewide planning process. Rather, the state should: 3 • provide additional financial and technical assistance to local governments for 4 cooperative planning and growth management issues, particularly where new 5 comprehensive plans have been mandated by the legislature; 6 • clearly establish the public purposes served by existing statewide controls such as 7 shoreland zoning and wetlands conservation; clarify, simplify, and streamline these, 8 controls; eliminate duplication in their administration; and fully defend and hold 9 harmless any local government sued for a "taking" as a result of executing state land 10 use policies; 11 • give cities broader authority to extend their zoning, subdivision, and other land use controls up to two miles outside the city's boundaries regardless of the existence of 13 county or township controls, in order to ensure conformance with city facilities and 14 services; 15 • clearly define and differentiate between urban and rural development and restrict 16 urban growth outside city boundaries; 17 • require the Metropolitan Council to seek cooperation from the State of Wisconsin and 18 counties (both Minnesota and Wisconsin) surrounding the metropolitan area to ensure 19 responsible and controlled development, study expansion of Metropolitan Council 20 authority in surrounding counties, and examine the positive and negative impacts of 21 mandatory regional or local land use controls and state - imposed development 22 standards; -3 • facilitate the annexation of urban land to cities by amending state statutes regulating 1999 City Policies 21 1- annexation to make it easier for cities to annex developed or developing land within 2 unincorporated areas; 3 • oppose attempts to reinstate the Minnesota Municipal Board as the body for resolving 4 boundary adjustment issues. 5 • oppose legislation that would reinstate the election requirement in contested 6 annexations; and 7 • encourage ideas consistent with the long -term goal of allowing urban development only 8 in urban areas. Density incentives such as sprawl reduction aid programs are more 9 straightforward methods of rewarding and encouraging compact urban development 10 than using LGA or HACA for another new purpose. 11 LE -11. State and /or County Licensed Residential Facilities (group homes) 12 Issue: The need for more residential -based care facilities resulting from state policies makes 13 it clear that the State must also ensure there is sufficient funding to assure that residents living in 14 group homes and licensed facilities have appropriate care and supervision. In view of the 15 responsibilities cities have to accommodate group homes and residential -based facilities, it is 16 important that state and county units of government make every effort to work with local 17 officials to make sure that adequate care and public safety concerns are addressed. Cities must 18 also be aware of special care needed by group home residents in case of public safety 19 emergencies. Since operators of certain residential facilities and services are not required to 20 notify cities when they intend to purchase housing for this purpose, cities have insufficient 21 opportunity to address special care and public safety needs that these residences may require. 22 Response:. The legislature should require state and county agencies which operate or 22 League of Minnesota Cities license companies that operate residential -based facilities notify cities in a timely manner 2 and allow opportunity for cities to respond regarding the status of facility license requests 3 and renewals and the special care needed by residents in case of public safety emergencies. 4 Legislation should also include provisions requiring establishment of non - concentration 5 standards and direction to avoid clustering residential facilities. Licensing authorities must 6 also be responsible for removing any residents found incapable of living in such an 7 environment, particularly so they do not become a danger to themselves or others. 8 LE -12. Housing and Economic Vitality 9 Issue: City officials increasingly recognize that housing shortages threaten strong 10 neighborhoods, healthy communities and local economic vitality. Decreased federal housing - i assistance and insufficient state resources for housing production place statewide economic 12 expansion at risk. Changes in social services and family support, along with welfare to work 13 requirements, make it paramount for the legislature to re- allocate state resources to strengthen 14 family stability, improve workforce availability, and help improve children's school performance 15 Response: The legislature must increase state investment in housing production, at least 16 doubling the current biennial housing budget to help leverage private and local resources 17 as well as federal funds. The legislature should make at least a one -time $40 million 18 investment outside the metropolitan area for production of single - family housing 19 affordable to working families, along with affordable rental units. In the metropolitan 20 area, investing another $40 million over the next biennium to carry out the goals of the 1.1 Livable Communities Act will help meet the needs of many households in which working 22 adults now have to travel long distances to get to work. 1999 City Policies 23 1 LE -13. Housing Preservation 2 Issue: Loss of federally assisted housing in communities throughout the state remains a 3' serious threat to the well -being of older city residents as well as other vulnerable populations. 4 Few cities have sufficient local resources to purchase or provide equity take -out loans to owners 5 of subsidized rental units who are considering mortgage prepayment and conversion to market - 6 rate rentals for properties that were originally built to provide housing for low- income residents. 7 Cities and neighborhood organization community development projects sometimes require 8 demolition of substandard housing, which can compound housing shortages and displace 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 occupants. Response: The legislature . must appropriate at least $10 million for preservation of federally subsidized housing throughout the state to provide additional resources for the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency and community-based nonprofit housing organizations to buy units or make equity take -out loans to property owners in return for maintaining rents affordable to low - income residents and agreeing to maintain the federally subsidized mortgage to term. The legislature should provide incentives to lower housing construction costs and selling 1 17 prices to encourage local government, builders, developers, housing agencies,and 18 organizations to address housing design and construction costs, land use regulation and 19 other factors that could reduce housing development costs. 20 LE -14. City Role in Telecommunications 21 Issue: As cities seek the benefits of information technology, they face a number of critical 24 League of Minnesota Cities issues, particularly availability and competition for providing advanced community -based 2 telecommunications services. Cities recognize the importance of providing these services for 3 education, health care, business and residents in their homes and work - places. 4 Cities also play an integral role in the emergence of local competition, the zoning of wireless 5 communications facilities and preserving cable operator support for public, education and 6 government (PEG) access and I -Nets and upholding federal requirements to treat all providers in 7 a neutral and non - discriminatory manner. 8 Response: State and federal government should encourage cities and 9 telecommunications service providers to collaborate to take advantage of planning 10 opportunities for the development of telecommunications infrastructure and services to 11 strengthen local and regional economies. Federal and state government must also 12 strengthen city authority to: 13 • provide telecommunications services either in partnership with other public entities, the 14 private sector or as a sole provider; 15 • grant additional cable tv franchises to provide the benefits of competition to 16 subscribers; 17 • require all multichannel providers of video programming services which use public 18 rights -of -way to comply with local PEG access and I -Net requirements; and 19 • exercise effective local zoning controls over the siting of wireless communications 20 facilities. 1999 City Policies 25 1 LE -15. Adequate Funding for Transportation 2. Issue: Current funding for roads and for transit systems across all government levels in the 3 state is not adequate. The League acknowledges that all Minnesota communities benefit from a 4 sound and adequately funded transportation system. 5 Response: More resources must be dedicated to the state's transportation system. The 6 League supports constitutionally dedicating a portion of the sales tax on motor vehicles 7 (also referred to as MVET) or other new revenue sources to a transportation fund, which 8 would fund both highway and transit projects. The League also supports an increase in 9 the gas tax that would be dedicated under the.existing Highway User Trust Fund formula. 10 If funding does not come from the state, cities should have funding options available to 11 them to raise the dollars necessary to adequately fund roads and transit. 12 All nontransportation programs should be funded from sources other than the highway 13 user distribution fund or other funds dedicated to transportation 14 LE -16. State Aid for Urban Road Systems 15 Issue: Current rules governing municipal state aid expenditures are restricting the efficient 16 use of these funds and do not adequately acknowledge the constraints of road systems in urban 17 city environments. 18 Response: Rules affecting the municipal state aid system need to be changed to 19 acknowledge the technical and practical restrictions on construction and reconstruction of 20 urban road systems. New municipal state aid design standards should not apply to 21 reconstruction of existing state aid streets that were originally constructed under different 22 standards. Future changes to state aid rules should ensure the involvement of elected 26 League of Minnesota Cities I officials and engineering professionals in the decision - making process. 2 LE -17. Turnbacks of County and State Roads 3 Issue: As road funding becomes increasingly inadequate, more roads are being "turned 4 back" to cities from counties and the state. 5 Response: Turnbacks should not occur without direct funding or transfer of a funding 6 source. A process of negotiation and mediation should govern the timing, funding, and 7 condition of turned -back roads. City taxpayers should receive the same treatment as 8 township taxpayers. The requirement for a public hearing, standards about the conditions 9 of turnbacks, and temporary maintenance funding should also apply to county turnbacks 10 to cities. At a minimum, proposed roads to be turned back to a lower government level should be brought up to the standards of the receiving government or should be 12 compensated with a direct payment. Direct funding should be provided for smaller cities 13 that are not provided with turnback financing through the municipal state aid system. 14 LE -18. Road Funding for Cities Under 5,000 15 Issue: Cities under 5,000 population do not receive any nonproerty tax funds for their 16 collector and arterial streets. 17 Response: Cities under 5,000 population that are not eligible for Municipal State Aid 18 (M.S.A.) should be able to use county municipal accounts and the five percent account of 19 the highway user distribution fund. 20 Uses of county municipal accounts should be statutorily modified so that counties can 21 dedicate these funds for local arterials and collector streets within cities under 5,000 1999 City Policies 27 1 population. In addition, the five percent set -aside account in the highway user distribution 2 fund should be used to meet this funding gap. 3 LE -19. Railroad - Related Projects 4 Issue: Cities are being presented with far reaching and long term effects when railroad 5 expansion and related projects enter their communities. Along with the concerns related to 6 safety, environmental effects, and noise impacts on the communities, several issues have a 7 greater reaching effect. They are: 8 • the cost -share ratio related to roadway crossing improvements will be borne by the public 9 sector to a substantial degree, some estimates are 80 percent public to 20 percent private 10 funding; 11 • the financial burden faced by the public sector to deal with mitigation improvements, a cost 12 that the Surface Transportation Board (STB) is not requiring the private sector to pay; 13 • the issues associated with the length of trains moving through communities; 14 • liability associated with whistleblowing ordinances; and 15 • pre - emption of local authority to regulate railroad activities; 16 Response: The private sector must be required to pay a greater share of the 17 improvements that benefit their industry. The public sector should not be expected to 18 underwrite the costs of improvements that are being sought by the private sector. The state 19 and federal government must participate in adequately funding railroad projects. The 20 Federal Government must exercise greater oversight of the STB to ensure fair and 21 equitable solutions are reached when dealing with cities in Minnesota. 28 League of Minnesota Cities LE -20 Access Management & Plat Approval 2 Issue: Increasingly, the state and some counties express their desire to exercise more control 3 over state and county roads that lie within city boundaries. Some counties have introduced 4 legislative proposals requiring county plat approval before projects may move forward. The 5 Department of Transportation has been studying the issue of access management and may be 6 bringing a legislative proposal forward in 1999 to establish minimum standards necessary before 7 new access points onto roads will be allowed. The League has published educational articles 8 designed to highlight the importance of county and state involvement when cities are involved in 9 planning decisions that will allow new development to access roadways. 10 Response: Cities support maintaining plat approval authority with each municipality 11 for all plats located within cities. Cities do not support extending county or state authority ,2 over plat approval. However, significant advantages can be gained by using a coordinated 13 review process, already existing in state law, between cities and other affected units of 14 government. Such advantages include better overall land use planning, site designs and 15 traffic management. In addition, cities support the concept of statewide access 16 management guidelines that can be used in a coordinated review process. 17 LE -21. Right -of -Way Management 18 Issue: Cities have fundamental responsibility for managing the safe and convenient use of 19 public rights -of -way. Cities hold local rights -of -way in trust for the public as a limited and 20 valuable asset. As demand for right -of -way use increases, cities must continue to have clear '? 1 authority to allocate and coordinate that resource among competing uses. Local management 1999 City Policies 29 a 1 responsibilities vary and are site specific, underscoring the importance of upholding local 2 authority to establish fees. and standards and to obtain fair and reasonable compensation by 3 telecommunications right -of -way users. 4 Response: State government must: 5,.- • uphold local authority to manage and protect public rights -of -way; 6 • recognize that municipal engineering has a paramount role in development and 7 implementation of construction and safety standards; 8 • support local authority to require reasonable compensation reflecting local policy and 9 fiscal objectives, including the collection of franchise fees and support of Public, 10 Education and Government (PEG) and I -Net access to providers of multi - channel 11 video programming; and 12 • maintain the courts as the primary forum for resolving allegations by 13 telecommunications service providers of arbitrary or capricious city management 14 policies and practices. 15 LE -22. Effective Telecommunications Competition 16 Issue: Consumers need protection in the transition to a competitive marketplace for 17 telecommunications services.. Local economies can be strengthened by competitive provision of 18 services to enhance business participation in the global economy. 19 Response: Federal, state and local government should coordinate policies to protect 20 consumers and encourage emergence of local competition. 30 League of Minnesota Cities Q LE -23. Local Zoning of Telecommunications Facilities 2 Issue: Federal intervention and restrictions on city zoning authority over the 3 use of property by telecommunications service providers threaten to pre -empt basic local land - 4 use regulation. 5 Response: Federal and state government must uphold the fundamental right of local 6 government to adopt and enforce zoning regulations reaffirmed in the federal 7 Telecommunications Act of 1996. 8 LE -24. Workforce Readiness 9 Issue: State and federal welfare reform efforts have focused on the importance of the welfare 0 to work transition and have recognized the challenge of ensuring that individuals are qualified to 11 work. Cities have an interest in the availability of qualified workers as part of their economic 12 development efforts and can serve as a catalyst with other public entities and the private sector to 13 address workforce readiness issues. 14 Response: The legislature should fully fund the Job Skills Partnership and Pathways 15 programs administered by the Department of Trade and Economic Development. 16 LE -25. Platting Law Recodification 17 Issue: The Minnesota Association of County Surveyors (MACS) is seeking to recodify 18 Minnesota Statutes Chapter 505. Two issues raised by MACS that will likely impact cities are 19 the subdivision plat requirements and the creation and amendment of road right of way 0 acquisition maps. 1999 City Policies 31 it 1 Response: The Legislature should preserve local authority over plat approval and 2 include language in the recodification legislation that will allow for pedestrian easements or 3 thoroughfares to be dedicated by plat (for sidewalks, public trails, etc.) 4 LE =2 . Economic Dev elopment Authorities 5. Issue: The state's policy regarding economic development authorities (EDAs) has been to 6 limit the specific authority and powers of EDAs to city governments. The state has already 7 determined that city government most efficiently provides, governmental services in areas 8 intensively developed for residential, industrial, and governmental. purposes. 9 Response: The state should continue to recognize the importance of using and 10 preserving the existing infrastructure that exists within cities, and continue to find that 11 urban development, and all related authority, should remain within cities and managed by 12 city government. The legislature should continue its decision to limit EDA authority to 13 . cities as the primary local government responsible for the organizational and financial 14 coordination of development and redevelopment. 15. IMPROVING SERVICE DELIVERY 16 SD -1. Redesigning and Reinventing Government 17 Issue: Every level of government is reevaluating, reprioritizing, redesigning, and renewing 18 its organizational structure and programs in response to financial realities and citizens' needs and 19 problems. Reforms, however, must be more than simply change for the sake of change or a 20 reshuffling of existing programs to appease the electorate. To be meaningful, reorganization and 32 League of Minnesota Cities reassignments of governmental entities and services should save money where feasible, deliver 2 improved services, serve essential needs and be equitably structured. Cities have and will 3 continue to pursue the use of cooperative agreements, the reevaluation of city programs and 4 services, and changes to organizational structures. 5 Response: The federal, state, and county governments should: 6 a ensure that in redesigning, reinventing or reassigning government services and 7 programs that the appropriate level of service to citizens is evaluated and citizen 8 demands and expectations are adequately addressed; 9 a promote local efforts through incentives rather than mandates; 10 a communicate and establish a process of negotiation before shifting responsibility for 11 delivering services from one level of government to another or seeking to reduce service duplication; 13 a transfer authority for use of revenues dedicated to such programs or provide 14 appropriate and adequate alternatives; 15 a identify and repeal programs or discontinue services which are no longer necessary or 16 which can readily and fairly be provided by the private sector; and 17 a employ existing government entities in redesign efforts rather than create new agencies 18 or units. 19 The League supports cooperative studies of the following issues: 20 a whether the enforcement of human rights laws can best be accomplished by a single 21 state system which would allow local governments to discontinue local enforcement 22 programs; .3 a whether there should be greater use of statewide or consolidated business licensing, 1999 City Policies 33 1 2 3 4 k, C1 7 8 9 10 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 including licensing of sign contractors, to eliminate the need for some businesses to obtain, a permit in each city or county; • whether the existing use and structure of Regional Development Commissions can-be improved; • whether greater use can be made of block grants to distribute funds related to transportation, sewage treatment, and public water facilities; • whether human services and health programs can be improved by further consolidating their administration at the state and county levels of government; and • whether state and federal environmental and water agencies can be combined or eliminated to avoid inconsistent standards and duplication of responsibilities. SD -2. Unfunded Mandates Issue: The cost of federal and state mandated programs substitute the judgment of Congress and the President and the legislature and the Governor for local budget priorities. These mandates force cities to reduce funding for other basic services or to increase taxes and service charges. The passage by the legislature of reporting requirements for new state mandates and the passage by Congress of legislation restraining new federal mandates should help address the problem, but other steps are still necessary. Response: • Existing unfunded mandates should be reviewed and modified or repealed where possible. • No additional statewide mandates should be enacted unless full funding for the 34 League of Minnesota Cities mandate is provided by the level of government imposing it or a permanent stable 2 revenue source is established. 3 * Cities should not be forced to comply with unfunded mandates. 4 • Cities should be given the greatest flexibility possible in implementing mandates to 5 ensure that their cost is minimized. 6 SD -3. Civil Liability of Local Governments 7 Issue: One of the barriers to the delivery of governmental services and programs is the 8 exposure of local governments and their officials to civil damage claims. The state has acted to 9 protect itself and its local governments by enacting exceptions and limitations to liability suits 10 and authorizing self - insurance and other mechanisms to deal with claims allowed by law. 1 Additionally, the current law which requires district court approval of settlements of claims 12 against municipalities which exceed $10,000 has become burdensome for cities. 13 Response: The League supports: 14 • eliminating joint and several liability, or severely restricting its application to situations 15 where private or public tortfeasors are substantially at fault for the damages incurred; 16 • extending the protection of the state and municipal tort claims act to quasi- 17 governmental entities when performing public services such as firefighting; 18 • existing constitutional safeguards for protecting public and private property interests 19 without any statutory expansion of property rights; . 20 • eliminating the district court approval of settlements requirement or, in the alternative, 1999 City Policies 35 r 1 increasing the threshold amount for district court approval of settlements to $100,000; 2 and 3 • clarifying and maintaining the applicability of municipal immunity in various areas 4 including, but not limited to, snow and ice immunity, park and recreational immunity 5 including the extension to entities providing a public service that have not traditionally 6 been included within the immunity (e.g. state trails over municipal utility easements), 7 vicarious official immunity, and problems related to the Y2K computer phenomenon. 8 SD -4. Environmental Protection 9 Issue: State and federal environmental programs are improperly designed to meet their 10 stated goals, and impose an undue burden on local governments because of a lack of federal or 11 state financial assistance. The refusal to finance these programs by the governments which 12 pass them has eliminated an essential restraining feature in program design and 13 implementation. 14 Specific problems include: 15 • New programs or standards are continually adopted without regard to the existence, 16 attainability, or cost' of existing programs and standards. 17 • Inability of regulatory bodies use good science and accurate data when establishing permit 18 criteria. For example, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's Citizens Board's recent 19 decisions resulting in a phosphorus standard for the City of Greenfield that was inconsistent 20 with current data and likely not to have been recommended by agency staff. 21 • Fragmented program adoption and implementation does not ensure prioritization of 36 League of Minnesota Cities A environmental matters or the establishment of comprehensive environmental protection 2 strategies. 3 • "One size fits all" implementation programs force remedial efforts, by local governments 4 for nonexistent environmental problems. 5 • Permit fees and other cost transfer elements of federal and state programs do not provide 6 an incentive for environmental agency efficiency, policy prioritization, or risk assessment. 7 In addition to the above problems, cities are facing emerging issues in the areas of 8 drainage, bio- solids, wellhead protection and feedlots. 9 Response: 10 • A comprehensive effort to consolidate, reorganize, and manage state and federal 11 environmental agencies and programs should be undertaken and a partial or full 2- moratorium on new programs or requirements should be considered. 13 • Permit fees should be limited to fifty percent of the agency's direct operating costs in 14 order to promote efficient agency operation and sufficient legislative oversight. 15 • Sufficient state and federal financial assistance should be provided to comply with 16 state and federal infrastructure requirements, particularly with regard to sewer and 17 water facilities. 18 • The option for cities to land apply bio- solids on properties outside their boundaries 19 must be preserved. The legislature should amend Minnesota Statutes section 115A.32- 20 39 to reinstate the administrative procedure for the resolution of bio- solids disputes - a 21 procedure whose function was inadvertently deleted during a recodification of the 22 statutes. 23 In addition, the Legislature should provide Greater Minnesota local governments 1999 City Policies 37 it 1 the same statutory protection afforded to those communities within the Metropolitan 2 Council's jurisdiction, found in Minnesota Statutes section 473.516, ' allowing bio- solids 3 to be disposed of in manners consistent with the MPCA's permits and rules and 4 avoiding blanket moratoriums on land application of bio- solids. 5 SD -5. Election Issues 6 Issue: Improvements in absentee voting, voter registration, and the election process are 7 needed. 8 Response: The legislature should simplify absentee voting, provide more cities direct 9 access to the statewide voter registration system, clarify restrictions on locating campaign 10 signs within 100 feet of polling places, modify the voter fraud statute related to voter 11 residency, and allow cities more flexibility in appointing and compensating election judges 12 SD -6. Local Election Authority 13 Issue: In the past, the legislature has acted to restrict city authority to schedule city elections 14 and establish terms of office for local elected officials thereby diminishing regard for the role of 15 local self - government, particularly when state policy preempts home rule authority governing 16. city elections. 17. Response: The legislature should oppose further limits on either the number or the 18 length of terms city elected officials may serve, particularly when those terms have been 19 established by the electorate in home rule charter cities. State policy on uniform elections 20 should continue to recognize and uphold local authority to schedule city elections in 38 League of Minnesota Cities P November of either even- or odd - numbered years. 2 SD -7. City Costs for Enforcing State and Local Laws 3 Issue: Cities experience substantial costs enforcing state and local laws, particularly those 4 related to traffic, controlled substances, and incarceration of prisoners. The current method in 5 our criminal justice system of recovering costs for law enforcement and prosecution through 6 fines is insufficient to meet the costs incurred by local governments. 7 Response: The legislature should review this issue and adopt measures that provide for 8 complete reimbursement of the costs incurred by local governments in enforcing state and 9 local laws. Solutions which should be considered include the following: 10 • increasing fine amounts; • removing or modifying state surcharges which conflict with cost recovery principles; 12 and 13 • requiring the defendant to pay the full costs of enforcement and prosecution as part of 14 any sentence. 15 SD -8. Access to Information Technology and Services 16 Issue: Cities recognize the importance of achieving world class standards and universal 17 service in order to provide quality education and opportunities for local businesses and industry 18 to engage successfully in global competition. 19 Response: The state legislature should: �0 * encourage expanded use of inter - active teleconferencing and on -line forums, public 1999 City Policies 39 I access programming and channels and public broadcast capabilities to provide public 2 access to government meetings; 3 • encourage collaboration among cities, schools, libraries, health care and 4 local nonprofit organizations to make local training and advanced services 5 available to community residents; and 6 • provide assistance and funding to cities to strategically, prepare themselves to connect 7 to high -speed broadband networks. 8 SD -9. Design -build 9 Issue: The standard bid procedure cities are required to use in selecting contractors for 10 municipal buildings can be quite costly. Private sector development uses a process known as 11 "design- build" in which various firms submit project proposals that include both a design and 12 the construction costs for that design. The selection is then based on the total package. By 13 granting specific statutory authority to use the design -build alternative to the Metropolitan 14 Sports Facilities Commission and state agencies including the Department of Revenue, the 15 legislature has recognized the financial savings it can provide. In documented instances, cities 16 have saved taxpayers up to 10 ,percent of the total project cost by using the design -build 17 alternative.' The design -build process also permits improved project management and 18 oversight. However, absent statutory authorization to use this alternative, cities are vulnerable 19 to lawsuits. from unsuccessful bidders. In addition, the design -build process for playground 20 equipment can encourage greater creativity while still maintaining cost controls. Special 21 legislation was enacted for the City of Chanhassen in 1995 to experiment with using this 40 League of Minnesota Cities process for purchasing playground equipment. 2 Response: The legislature should authorize an extension of the "design- build" 3 procedure to cities as a less expensive alternative to the standard bid procedure. 4 SD -10. Mobile Home Park Oversight 5 Issue: The state has preempted cities in the licensing of mobile home parks and has limited 6 the authority of cities to place new regulations on established mobile home parks. However, 7 cities are responsible for dealing with the various housing and public safety challenges mobile 8 home parks may create. 9 Response: Since the state has already taken the lead, the legislature should provide 10 sufficient resources and direct the Department of Health to conduct a study on the 11 condition of mobile home parks throughout the State of Minnesota. Cities and mobile 12 home park owners and residents should be involved in the study. The results of the study 13 should be used as a basis for policy discussions regarding ways in which the state can 14 provide for increased and improved oversight of mobile home parks and establish a 15 statewide support system for cities to rely on in dealing with the array of issues that arise 16 in mobile home parks. Outcomes of the study should include: 17 • "best practices" for the operation of mobile home parks; 18 • recommended state regulatory changes for the operation of mobile home parks; 19 • suggested ways cities can better address the issues presented by mobile home parks; 20 and 1999 City Policies 41 1 • identification of mechanisms to provide assistance in financing mobile home park 2 upgrades. 3 SD -11: Providing Information to Citizens 4 Issue: To keep, the public updated and . informed, state law requires local units of 5 government to publish various notification documents in newspapers and often dictates which 6 newspapers receive cities' publication business. The number and variety of documents 7, required to be published and the costs of publication are burdensome. Technological 8 , advancements have expanded the ways in which government can provide information to 9 citizens. In many cases, these new technologies are more efficient and cost effective 10 Response: ,Cities should be authorized to take advantage of new technologies to 11 increase the dissemination of information to citizens. and potentially lower the associated 12 costs. Specifically, the legislature should authorize local units of government to designate 13 an appropriate daily /weekly publication, elect alternative means of communication such 14 as city newsletters, cable television, and the Internet, and expand the use of summaries 15 where information is technical or lengthy. Additionally, the legislature should eliminate 16 outdated or unnecessary publication requirements. 17 SD -12. Creating a Minnesota GIS Program 18 Issue: Local governments are finding geographic information systems (GIS) an essential tool 19 for comprehensive land -use, real estate, environmental and other land management information. 20 In many counties, maintenance of official land records has not been automated, creating a barrier 42 League of Minnesota Cities to GIS development. In addition, the start up costs of GIS implementation can be prohibitive. 2 Response: The legislature should encourage local government implementation of GIS 3 through grants and /or the dedication of a revenue source such as real estate transaction 4 fees. In addition, cities should be involved in the development of county land records 5 modernization plans. 6 SD -13. State Regulation of Massage Therapists 7 Issue: The state does not currently regulate massage therapy, an emerging but rapidly 8 growing profession. In order to control prostitution and to provide for health and sanitation 9 standards, several cities have entered the traditional state domain of health -care licensure by 10 enacting ordinances that require all massage therapists to obtain a local professional license. 1 These ordinances allow local law enforcement officers to differentiate between legitimate 12 massage therapists, who have a city license, and prostitution businesses fronting as massage 13 therapy establishments. The lack of statewide regulation of massage therapists has hampered law 14 enforcement techniques and has caused problems for cities attempting to regulate an entire 15 health -care profession without any statewide standards. Currently, twenty -five states regulate 16 massage therapists on a statewide level. Statewide regulation of massage therapists would 17 provide a clear set of educational standards that massage therapists must meet and would provide 18 local law enforcement agencies with an easy tool to distinguish between prostitution and 19 legitimate massage therapy. Statewide regulation would not disturb traditional powers over land 20 use and business licensure. Response: The League supports the statewide regulation of massage therapists in order 1999 City Policies 43 1 to aid local law enforcement efforts at controlling prostitution and other criminal activity. J 2 SD -14. Private Property Rights and Takings 3 Issue: During the 1998 legislative session, property rights and takings legislation was 4 introduced. It is anticipated that these legislative initiatives will be considered during the 1999 5 session. In addition to individual bills, it is anticipated that amendments to the Community 6 Based Planning Act of 1997 may be introduced. These amendments may attempt to make part of 7 the Minnesota Statutes those portions of the Minnesota Constitution that relate to property rights. 8 The federal government's Swamp Buster /Sod Buster programs, the Army Corp of Engineer's 9 dredge and fill programs, and the state's Wetlands Conservation Act and Community Based 10 Planning Act appear to be the nexus for much of the property rights and takings legislation 11 proponents. 12 While the League is committed to the need for local government units to balance the rights of 13 private land owners with the interest of the public, the League is concerned that these legislative 14 initiatives will.impact adversely cities in two ways. First, such legislative initiatives undermine 15 the fundamental authority of cities to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of its citizens. 16 Second, if the legislature codifies certain.provisions of the Minnesota Constitution, an argument 17 may be made that the legislature intended to create new causes of action against cities. This 18 would encourage more lawsuits and expose cities to the expense of defending those cases. 19 Response: The League opposes legislation that harms the ability of cities to act in the 20 best interests of the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens or that creates the possibility 21 of additional lawsuits against cities. The League encourages the state and federal 44 League of Minnesota Cities governments to improve their regulatory programs by eliminating those property rights 2 issues that were caused by the adoption of such laws as the Wetlands Conservation Act or 3 Swamp Buster /Sod Buster. 4 SD -15. Statewide Building Code 5 Issue: The Governor's Construction Codes Advisory Council has indicated it may be 6 recommending legislation to institute a statewide building code. The International Organization 7 for Standardization (ISO) is expected to evaluate Minnesota's building codes and enforcement by 8 the year 2000. There is some expectation on the part of Council members that ISO will act as the 9 catalyst for a statewide building code. Many cities have adopted the state building code and all 10 cities within the seven county metropolitan area are required to adhere to the state building code. 1 Response: A building code provides many benefits including uniformity of construction 12 standards in the industry, consistency in code interpretation and enforcement, and life 13 safety guidance. However, the enforcement of a building code can be cost prohibitive for 14 many cities due to the expenses and overhead related to staffing vs. the limited building 15 activity occurring in some communities. The adoption of the state building code should 16 remain a local option for municipalities outside the seven county metropolitan area, unless 17 the state participates in fully funding the costs of enforcement and inspection services 18 related to a statewide enforced building code 19 SD -16. Building Code Department Special Revenue Accounts 0 Issue: Several interest groups have indicated they may be recommending legislation to 1999 City Policies 45 1 require municipal building code and inspection departments to be self sufficient either through 2 the establishment of special revenue accounts or other mechanisms to guarantee the provision of 3 services which are paid for by fees. This stems, in part, from a belief in the building community 4 that plan check fees and other municipal fees for service do not reflect the actual benefits 5 received. 6 Response: Building permitting and the related inspection and enforcement services are 7 best funded out of a city's general fund. While some cities may, experience a surplus to 8 their general fund during a growth boom, cities that have a building code and inspections 9 department often recognize those departments are not self sufficient and supplement those 10 departments' budgets from other general fund revenue sources. In addition, special 11 revenue accounts may remove some accountability, since departments' funded by such an 12 account would not need to rely on a city's general fund and would subsequently.be 13 removed from proving their value•during the normal budgetary process. The state should 14 not interfere in the simple budgetary decision making performed by cities and the League 15 opposes any move to legislate to cities specific methods to pay for municipal building 16 inspection services. 17 1 SD-17.' Municipal Administrative Penalties 18 Issue: Several cities have been successfully operating administrative processes to deal with 1.9 local ordinance violations under the theory that the power to adopt ordinances inherently implies 20 the authority to enforce them. Within the narrow scope of ordinance violations; this type of 21 system has the potential, advantage of providing a more effective alternative to formal district 46 League of Minnesota Cities ' court proceedings. The Nonfelony Enforcement Advisory Committee's 1997 report contained a 2 recommendation to provide express statutory authorization for cities to create processes to 3 administer municipal administrative penalties. 4 Response: The legislature should provide express statutory authorization for cities to 5 create processes to administer municipal administrative penalties. 6 SD -18. Reforestation. 7 Issue: Cities throughout Minnesota have experienced a devastating loss of the public forest 8 by natural disasters. It is estimated the cost to replace the forest is beyond the means of 9 Minnesota's cities. The Legislature has in the past assisted cities in reforestation necessary due 10 to natural causes. Response: The Legislature should establish and fund reforestation for cities in 12 federally declared disaster areas that have lost trees due to the 1998 storms. The 13 reforestation program should be modeled after the program set forth in Minnesota 14 Statutes, Chapter 18.023 for Dutch elm disease and oak wilt. The program should 15 provide for direct grants to cities and not establish a reimbursement program, and, if 16 necessary, allow for in -kind contributions to count if the state requires a matching 17 program. 18 SD -19. Board of Firefighter Training 19 Issue: The quality, availability, and affordability of firefighter training varies greatly across 1.0 the state. After several years of discussion, the fire service has endorsed a proposal to create a 1999 City Policies 47 1 state board of firefighter training to both ensure the quality of training and to oversee state 2 reimbursement of a portion of training costs. The board would not be given authority to mandate 3 specific training requirements.or to certify firefighters. 4 Response: The League supports the fire service proposal as long as local governments 5 are fairly represented on the board; the powers and duties of the board are not expanded 6 in a way that would undermine local management authority; and the appropriation comes 7 from the state general fund. 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 SD -20. Witness Fees Issue: Court administrators are proposing that the legislature shift the costs attributable to calling witnesses from counties to cities. The rationale behind this proposal is that city prosecutors have no incentive to limit the witnesses called to only those that will actually testify. Most counties currently receive one -third of the fines collected, at the city level. Response: Cities oppose the shifting of costs attributable to calling witnesses from counties to cities. City prosecutors responsibly call only those witnesses they expect to testify. Under certain circumstances, witnesses may not ultimately provide testimony for a variety of reasons. The fine revenue counties receive adequately funds the costs attributable to calling witnesses. SD -21. State Appropriation for Government Training Service (GTS) 19 Issue: In 1977 the Government Training Service was created in order to provide a 20 coordinated response to the training needs of state and local governments. GTS was charged 48 League of Minnesota Cities 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 i with coordinating the needs of the state, cities, counties, townships, and school districts, with the delivery capability the state's institutions of higher learning and other continuing education service providers. To support the mission of GTS, in 1981 the legislature provided a $42,500 annual appropriation which was increased to $50,000 in 1994. The lack of a more adequate increase in state support since 1981 has compromised the administrative, technological, and service delivery capabilities of GTS, making it difficult for the organization to remain at the forefront of innovative training programs for government officials and employees. State financial support of GTS is important. Many cities and other local governments find it difficult to adequately fund official and staff training. GTS provides a cost effective mechanism for taking advantage of the efficiencies of cooperation. Response: The League supports a significant increase in the state general fund appropriation for the Government Training Service, sufficient to restore the capacity of the organization to deliver high - quality, cost - effective training programs for state and local officials and employees. SD -22. Year 2000 Issues Issue: Addressing potential Year 2000 (Y2K) issues poses many difficult and serious problems for cities. System malfunctions or failures are almost inevitable. Despite cities' best efforts to take reasonable actions to address threats to vital services, claims for damages will occur. Local taxpayers will bear the burden of extraordinary legal costs as cities defend themselves from multiple claims. 1999 City Policies 49 H 1 As cities strive to resolve complex Y2K problems, cities may also find it necessary to expend 2 additional resources to convert or modify critical service delivery systems to overcome Y2K- 3 related emergencies. If such costs are incurred after cities have certified their 1999 levies, cities 4 will need to borrow or issue revenue anticipation notes to meet those needs and to make 5 immediate purchases of critically needed materials or equipment. 6 Response: Congress and the state legislature should grant cities tort immunity from 7 liability claims related to the impact of Y2K to avoid the substantial cost to taxpayers of 8 full trial and the associated legal costs. 9 Cities should also be authorized to issue revenue anticipation notes to be repaid from 10 appropriate future revenue sources and explicit exemption from competitive bidding 11 requirements to expedite purchase of critically needed materials and equipment to 12 overcome anticipated and actual Y2K- related malfunctions or failures. 13 The legislature should create a loan or grant program to assists cities in addressing 14 unanticipated Y2K-related, costs. 15 SD -23. New Public Safety Spectrum Needs 16 Issue: Cities have benefitted from successful efforts at the federal level to gain access to 17 exclusive radio and wireless communications capacity for state and local public safety spectrum. 18 Cities can now take advantage of the new radio and wireless communications space set aside by 19 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) at the upper end of the UHF television band for 20 public safety. For future interoperability, cities will need additional spectrum to assure that 21 public safety agencies can communicate with each other and with others in surrounding 50 League of Minnesota Cities t jurisdictions. z The U.S. Department of Commerce and the FCC Public Safety Wireless Advisory 3 Committee have recommended reallocation of 3 MHZ of radio spectrum in the range of 138 -144 4 MHZ radio band be made available exclusively for state and local public safety interoperability. 5 This spectrum is currently assigned for military use and is not currently in use. Unless secured 6 for public safety purposes, it is likely to be auctioned off to the highest bidder for private use. 7 The radio band available is adjacent to the current MHZ band used for fire, police, and other 8 public safety communications and would provide particularly good frequencies for 9 mobile /portable radio system communications. 10 New spectrum in the 800 MHZ range requires many more sites to cover the same geographic 11 range and uses more expensive radio equipment. Although many public safety agencies are moving to new 800 MHZ systems, others will need to remain in lower frequency bands. 13 Equipment in 800 MHZ range will not communicate with many of the existing public safety 14 systems which operate at lower frequencies. 15 Response: The federal government must make additional spectrum available to allow 16 public safety agencies that require multi - agency communications to respond to accidents, 17 disasters and criminal activity that cross jurisdictional boundaries. So that it will not be 18 auctioned, the 3 MHZ available for reallocation for public safety should be reserved to 19 relieve congestion on nearby public safety frequencies. 20 Immediate action must be taken to secure this additional radio spectrum to advance the 21 interoperability of public safety communications systems. 1999 City Policies 51 1 Electric Deregulation 2 Introduction: Cities have a strong interest in the public policy debate about electric 3 restructuring or deregulation. Minnesota already enjoys some of the lowest average electric rates 4 in the nation, and the case has yet to be made that deregulation will result in either lower rates or 5 improved service for consumers. 6 Issue: For many decades, electric service to Minnesota citizens has been delivered through a 7 combination of investor -owned utilities (IOUs), municipal utilities, and rural electric 8 cooperatives. This system has served Minnesota well, delivering reliable, universal service at 9 rates among the lowest in the country. 10 In recent years, many have begun to promote "deregulation" or "restructuring" of the 11 industry, meaning that electric service would no longer be a franchised monopoly. A number of 12 states, primarily those with high electric rates, have taken steps to move toward such 13 restructuring. In most of these.cases, transmission and distribution remain regulated, with retail 14 competition allowed for generation source. 15 While advocates of restructuring argue that such competition will lead to lower rates, 16 estimates by the federal Energy Information Agency* are that the upper Midwest, including 17 Minnesota, may actually experience higher rates. Concerns have also been expressed as to 18 whether residential customers, and those in rural and other harder -to -serve areas will actually 19 experience decreased reliability and increased rates. 20 Local elected officials have the primary responsibility to the citizens of their cities to make 21 22 * EIA is the non - partisan research arm of the U.S. Department of Energy 52 League of Minnesota Cities certain restructuring that allows retail competition is as beneficial to the citizens as it is to the 2 industry. Beneficial to the citizen means that all Minnesotans experience the same reliable, 3 high - quality, universal, and low -cost service they experience under the current system of electric 4 power delivery. 5 City residents have a strong interest in the outcome of this important public policy debate. 6 Cities are substantial consumers of electric power. Over 180 cities have 10% or more of their 7 property tax base in electric industry property, while others collect franchise fees and/or sales 8 taxes on electric purchases within their boundaries. Citizen's in 126 Minnesota communities 9 currently receive economical electric service from municipal utilities, which make payments-in- 10 lieu of taxes to help support city services. Significant increases in the cost of electric power for 1*1 city operations or losses of these traditional sources of revenue will result in property tax increases. 13 Response: The federal government should not mandate restructuring; the decision 14 should be left to the states. 15 The legislature should follow a slow, deliberative approach, taking time to consider how 16 alternative models for delivering electric power will affect the State's traditional benefits of 17 reliable, universal, high - quality and low -cost service. The public policy discussion should 18 be focused on actual benefits to citizens, rather than on ideological arguments, stakeholder 19 interests, and over - reliance on simplistic objectives like "consumer choice." Those 20 advocating a change should bear the burden of proof to demonstrate that restructuring 21 and deregulation will, at a minimum, maintain Minnesota's high - quality, low -cost, and 22 reliable service. Only when that burden of proof has been met should restructuring occur. J The following public policy goals should be incorporated into any legislation 1999 City Policies 53 1 restructuring the electric industry: 2 Consumer Protection 3 Consumer interests must continue to be protected, especially for the most vulnerable 4 populations. Reliable service must be universally available and programs such as cold- 5 weather shut -off rules should be continued. either as requirements for all market 6 participants or as separate state programs. 7 Environmental . Concerns 8 The environment must be adequately protected, with conservation and renewable 9 energy efforts. maintained. The federal government must review the appropriateness of 10 current environmental regulations and their effect in a deregulated market, for example, 11 exemptions from the Clean Air Act for some generation facilities. 12 Fair Market Competition 13 To ensure fair market competition, the federal and state governments must have the 14 authority to review mergers to prevent abuse of market power. 15 Cities must remain viable competitors in the electric market. Municipal utilities must .16 be granted exemptions from rules like the open meeting law and data practices 17 requirements where they hamper the ability..to effectively compete with private companies. 18 To ensure adequate service to every citizen, cities.and other local governments must 19 maintain their ability to issue tax exempt bonds for construction of electric infrastructure, 20 and be given explicit. authority to aggregate or municipalize provision of electricity. 21. Local Authority 22 Cities must maintain. their traditional authority over land, use, zoning, rights -of -way 54 League of Minnesota Cities management and cost recovery, as well as the ability to franchise providers and to receive 2 payments -in -lieu of taxes from municipal utilities. Cities' authority to negotiate siting fees 3 and agreements for proposed generating facilities should be enhanced. 4 To avoid unnecessary demand for the limited space in public rights of way, open access 5 to transmission and distribution facilities should be maintained through regulation. 6 As the electric market is opened to interstate competition, the federal government must 7 preserve the application of Minnesota's state and local sales taxes to the sale of electricity, 8 regardless of the place of origin. 9 Stranded Cost Recovery 10 Issue: Regulated utilities have traditionally made operating decisions based on needs of 1 consumers within their service territories. Many decisions, therefore, have been based more 12 on need than on economics. In the transition from a regulated to a restructured competitive 13 environment, electric generators' investments in fixed assets and other obligations may or may 14 not remain as economically viable. Estimates of these "stranded costs" vary greatly, with 15 some indicating no stranded costs or possibly even negative stranded costs resulting from 16 increased prices after deregulation in Minnesota. 17 Response: If regulatory actions have contributed to investment by existing regulated 18 utilities that are not economically viable in a competitive market, and if restructuring 19 occurs, the League supports transition mechanisms that will allow utilities to collect 20 revenues for those particular stranded costs. However, these charges must be carefully '' 1 monitored to assure that only eligible and verifiable costs are covered and that over 1999 City Policies 55 1 collections do not occur. Taxpayers and ratepayers should not be expected to cover the 2 cost of investments that were made for business reasons, apart from the requirement to 3 serve under the regulated system. 4 If negative stranded costs for the regulated utility as a' whole can be established. and 5 are solely the result of transition to a restructured environment, these regulated utilities 6 should be required to contribute some limited percentage of established amounts to offset 7 tax breaks given to these utilities as a result of restructuring. 8 Property Tax 9 Issue: Part of the discussion regarding possible deregulation of the electric power industry 10 has centered on electric utility taxation. Proponents of deregulation assert that-if. effective free 11 market competition is to replace. governmental regulation, state tax policy must be changed. The 12 main focus of the Investor Owned Utilities (IOUs) so far has-been removal of the attached 13 machinery or personal property tax. Utilities subject to the tax argue that it places them at a 14 competitive disadvantage to non - Minnesota companies, Rural Electric Cooperatives (Co -ops), 15 and Municipals. However, accurate comparisons of tax burden are difficult,'as other states use 16 completely different taxing systems. Additionally, Co -ops and municipals do pay direct taxes on 17 some of their property and indirectly when they purchase wholesale power from sources that are 18 taxed, such as IOUs. -Municipals make substantial payments -in -lieu of taxes. 19 Utility personal property can be a significant portion of the local tax base in all cities. Most 20 obviously affected are cities that have power plants; however, transmission and distribution 21 equipment account for over half of the personal property taxes paid by the IOUs and exist in 22 nearly every city. Replacing the revenue that would be lost to cities, counties, school districts, 56 League of Minnesota Cities I and other local taxing jurisdictions is a stated goal of the IOUs; however, the mechanics and 2 funding sources of such a replacement revenue would be difficult to develop and administer, and 3 could be subject to reductions or elimination over time. Furthermore, replacement revenues or 4 aids may not fully address the problems created by a large tax base reduction. 5 Response: Cities oppose proposals for exempting the IOU's from the personal property 6 tax apart from the decision to restructure the electric industry in Minnesota. 7 If and when deregulation occurs, a truly independent review of the overall tax burden 8 should be conducted to determine if Minnesota utilities are at a competitive disadvantage. 9 If an overall tax disadvantage is identified, the State should correct it. Under no 10 circumstances should local units of government or their citizens be required to shoulder the 11 burden of tax relief for IOUs. 12 Personnel, Pensions, and Labor Relations 13 Issue: Many state laws increase the cost of providing city services to residents by requiring 14 city governments to provide certain levels of compensation or benefits to public employees, 15 specify certain working conditions, or limit city governments' ability to effectively manage their 16 personnel resources. For instance, existing state laws limit governments' ability to effectively 17 address incompetence or misconduct of city employees specifying certain procedures to be 18 followed or standards of conduct. 19 Response: The state government should refrain from passing laws which regulate the 20 public sector workplace and should repeal or modify problematic existing laws and 21 regulations to encourage full local accountability. 1999 City Policies 57 The League of Minnesota Cities proposes the following reforms: Discipline and Discharge • The state should modify veterans' preference and civil service laws which restrict the ability of local governments to effectively discipline public employees. The legislature should amend the law to: • remove the right to multiple, duplicative disciplinary proceedings; • limit any back -pay claims to a maximum.of $100,000; • limit the period in which to request a hearing to 14 days (from the current 60 days); • exclude probationary period employees from veterans preference termination law protections; • require parties to select their hearing panel representative within 10 days after notice has been given to the employer that the veteran employee is seeking a veterans' preference hearing; • require the panel to hear the petition within 30 days after the third panel representative is selected and issue a decision within 30 days following the hearing; and • amend the law to require state agencies to abide by the same veterans preference laws required of local governments. The state should re- examine state and local civil service systems and give local governments the authority to modify or, discontinue systems that are obsolete in order to ensure fair and accountable hiring and termination practices. Compensation limits • The state should repeal laws limiting the compensation of a person employed by a 58 League of Minnesota Cities statutory or home rule charter city to the governor's salary. If repeal is not possible, 2 the limit should be amended to be based upon the governor's total compensation level. 3 PELRA 4 • The state should modify the definition of public employee under PELRA by removing 5 the existing 14 -hour / 67 day requirement and replace it with a definition in which 6 employees must work more than an annual average of 20 hours per week. Temporary 7 or seasonal employees should not be included in this definition. 8 • The state should change public sector bargaining laws to require arbitrators to adhere 9 to the pay equity law with regard to consideration of internal class comparisons. 10 Essential Employees 11 • Cities must balance the health, welfare and safety of the public with the costs to taxpayers. Therefore, the Legislature should carefully examine requests from interest 13 groups seeking essential employee status under MN Stat. § 179A (PELRA). The League 14 of Minnesota Cities opposes legislation that mandates arbitration which increases costs 15 and removes local decision making authority. 16 Pensions 17 • The state should revise public employee pension laws to facilitate consolidation of local 18 pension plans. 19 • The state should study initiatives to reform and make uniform pension plans for local 20 government employees without increasing public employer contribution levels or 21 causing the public employer contribution level to exceed the contribution level required 22 from employees. 1999 City Policies .59 1 • The state should adjust the eligibility thresholds for public pensions to reflect inflation, 2 adopt a process for automatic future adjustments, and limit eligibility for defined 3 benefit plans to employees working an. average of at least 20 hours per week. 4 • The League opposes special legislation for individual employee pension benefit 5 increases unless they are initiated and approved by the city council of the impacted city. 6 Age Certificates / I -9 Forms 7 • The federal I -9 form requires employers and employees to report the same information 8 required by Minnesota's age certificate. The state should repeal MN Stat. § 181A.06 9 and endorse the federal I -9 form to verify age information and to eliminate redundancy, 10 for employers and employees when reporting information. 11' Employer Reference Immunity 12 • The League of Minnesota Cities supports legislation that provides limited immunity to 13 cities when giving accurate written disclosure of information regarding employment 14 related references. This legislation should not undermine the-immunity found in the 15 Data Practices Act. 16 State Paid Police and Fire Medical Insurance 17 • The state should fully fund programs that pay for health insurance for police and fire 18 employees required under MN Stat. §299A.465, as amended in 1997, for police and fire 19 employees hurt or killed in the line of duty. 20 • The legislature should clarify whether MN Stat. §299A.465 applies to injuries incurred 21 prior to June 1, 1997 (the effective date of the law). 22 • The legislature should clarify the amount of an employer's contribution under MN Stat. 60 League of Minnesota Cities ' §299A.465 and whether it changes over time. 2 Breathalyzers 3 • MN Stat. § 181.950 -.957 should be amended to permit the use of breathalyzers as an 4 acceptable technology for determining alcohol use. Currently, breathalyser use is 5 permitted under federal and state commercial drivers laws. 6 Final Offer - Total Package Arbitration 7 • The Legislature should preserve the voluntary nature of final offer - total package 8 arbitration as an optional settlement format for parties and should not amend state law 9 to mandate final offer - total package arbitration. 10 Preservation of Local Decision Making Authority on Employment Related 11 Issues 12 • The League supports local decision making authority and opposes legislation intended 13 to interfere in local decisions. 14 In addition to these state reforms, the League of Minnesota Cities supports the 15 following policies regarding federal employment law: 16 FLSA/Overtime compensation 17 • The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) was designed for private employer - employee 18 relations. Government employees were exempt for over 100 years. Through a series of 19 court decisions this statute is now applied to local governments. The exception for state 20 and local 'government employees should be reinstated by statute. 21 Peace officer bill of rights ? • Congress should oppose a federal peace officer bill of rights because it will only 1999 City Policies 61 compound the difficulties with internal investigations, local enforcement and diminish 2 local accountability. Portability of deferred compensation 4 • Public sector employees are increasingly changing jobs between the public and private sectors. Congress should enact legislation that would permit tax deferred rollovers 6 between public and /or private deferred compensation plans to improve the portability 7 of funds. 62 League of Minnesota Cities �.f, e myt) REPORT/RECOMMENDATION To: MAYOR AND COUNCIL Agenda Item XI•A• From: JERRY GILLIGAN Consent ❑ ATTORNEY Information Only ❑ Date: NOVEMBER 2, 1998 Mgr.
