Councilmember Nawrocki felt no actual aavinos would be
realized with this purchase. He felt the .upgrade of the present system is preferable and would cost only $5,000. He also noted that there could be an anticipated decrease in the purchase costs in the future as has been the case with muchcomputer equipment.
Counci lmember Peteraon inquire,d how lono an upgrade would meet the needs of the City. The Finance Director responded It would probably serve the City's needs for about one year.
Motion by Nawrocki that authorization to purchase the AS400 computer system not be granted based on the lack of cost effectiveness of the proposed procurement. Motion dies for lack of a second.
Councilmember Ruettimann felt the hard costs for upgrades was necessary before any decision can be made. $30,000 has been budgeted for this system purchase. Councilmember Nawrocki noted that the City Manager is proposing a twelve percent increase in taxes in the bud9et for 1994. He felt this $30,000 savings would not make a significant difference in the budget if it were not spent but it would help.

ITEM: BEING A RESOLUTION AOOPTING A BY: PATRICK HENTGES BY:�#
NO:
PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE YEAR
1994 AND SETTING THE PROPOSED DATE: SEPTEMBER 6, 1993 TAX LEVY COLLECTABLE FOR THE YEAR 1994 6.A.
At the work session of August 30, 1993, the City Council reviewed the proposed 1994 budget and the new
tax laws reJated to adopting a proposed levy for 1994. Under the current law, it is necessary for the City to
certify a proposed levy, public budget hearing date and continuation meeting date to the County Auditor by
September 15th. The proposed levy is the maximum amount the City can levy for 1994. On or before
December 20th, 1993, the City must certify a final levy to the County Auditor. The final levy can be less than
the proposed levy but it cannot be more than the proposed levy. For this reason, it is in the best interest of
the City to adopt a proposed levy at the maximum level being considered. Later it can be decreased but it
cannot be increased.
The major change in the 1993 law is that the City Council must hold two meetings to consider the budget:
a budget hearing and a continuation meeting. The proposed budget and proposed levies must be adopted
at the continuation meeting. It cannot be adopted at the budget hearing meeting.
At the August 30th work session, the City Manager submitted a recommended schedule to hold the property
tax levy increase to $2,072. This proposal was based on using fund balance for several one-time transfers or
expenditures rather than levying for these costs. The cost changes include $157,500 in compensated absences,
$35,801 funding for the volunteer fire pension, and $25,000 for the contingency account. The same schedule
also outlines increases the Council had identified to increase the levy by $85,072. The potential increases
include an additional police officer, reinstatement of Murzyn Hall maintenance levels, and an increase in the
City Council contingency account. The 1993 levy before the H.A.C.A. deduction was $3,463,645. For 1994,
it is anticipated that the City will see a reduc tion in property values and a reduction in what the City receives
in fiscal disparities. These changes could result in a two or three percent increase in local property taxes, in
addition to whatever the City Council sets for a levy.
In addition to the City resolution, also attached is the HRA's resolution 93-adopting a proposed tax levy
and budget for 1994-the proposed HRA levy and budget should have City Council approval.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move to waive the reading of the resolution, there being ample copies available for the public.
Move to adopt Resolution 93-, Being a Resolution Adopting a Proposed Budget for the Year 1994 and Setting
the Proposed Tax Levy in the amount of$ ____ establishing a budget hearing date of December 8, 1993
at 7:00 p.m. and a continuation date of December 15, 1993 at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers.
Move to approve a proposed HRA levy and budget of $71,()40 for the year 1993.

will go down. If this is the case the local levy will increase.

P E T I T I O N
We the undersigned do herewith indicate our· objections to the division of Lot 16, Block 1, Silver Lake Addition, Columbia Heights. We feel that another home built on this lot would detract from the neighborhood's appearance of presently generous-sized lots. This indeed could decrease surrounding property valuations. We also feel that the plan of tearing down 23' of the existing house would leave a house with less than the minimum 1120 square feet. Once the lot is split, the neighborhood has no guarantee that the remodeling will be done as planned. We therefore reque·st that no lot split be allowed until the remodeling has taken place and that no variances be granted on any building permits for either house. � �

and avay from the abut.ting traffic flow H per Section 9.116(3) (b) of the Zoning Ordinance. .. -
Gary Laraon, architect for the project., 1tated that the reason for the variance request was due to the pie-shaped lot and the rail ayatem running through the property. Be indicated that the aezzanine area would be used aolely for storage, not office area. Be felt the number of parking spaces indicated on the site plan would be sufficient for this buaineu a, there would be a amall number of employees.
Mr. Miske informed the Commission that his business was unufacturing envelopes which requires a large amount of storage area for the paper as well as for the dies used in the process. Be stated that he will have eleven (11) employees, thereby not needing all the parking required. Be indicated that if further redevelopment of the area were to occur, he vould be interested in purchasing additional lot area to •square off• pis lot.
Steve Jonak, owner of industrial property at 533 N.E. 37th Avenue, expreued his concerns regarding variances on the required parking in the area. Be felt that a variance should not be granted, especially of this percentage, when everyone else must provide the required parking under the Zoning Ordinance. Be indicated that there is a shortage of parking in the area due to the abutting duplexes on the Minneapolis side of 3 7th Avenue and the tenant.I parking on the atreets. Be felt that the proposed building was too big for the odd-shaped lot. There could be a parking problem if the building would be sold or the use changed and the building is used to full capacity with more employees.
Commissioner Peterson questioned Attorney Bocvinski if future changes to the site or sale of the property can be reason for reconsideration of the variance as far as parking. She explained that it 1hould be 1tated in the aotion.

Mr. Bradach'1 contention wa1 that the building has 1tood on the lot for a long time without frost footings. the wall• are 1traight, etc. and he felt he 1hould not be required to bring an old building into code with today'• requirements 1tating it would change the •old farmhouse• ae1thetic1. . Be informed the Commission that he spent all hia extra funds on the repairs he ha1 already made to the 1tructure and hie bu1inen. Be would not have any additional aonies to put into rehabing the property� Be requeated the Comaiasion give him permiuion to live in the building while he work• on it aa he ia currently living in one of his warehouses. Be indicated that he did dig under a portion of the house and e:zposed footings of 24 inchea deep. Be apologized for not contacting the City before starting the rehab work, but he assumed that he could do his own work in the house. Be stated that his friends, who are contractors. told him they didn't think he needed permits to work on his own house.
Mr. Bradach's attorney. Phil Nelaon, aaid he felt Hr. Bradach got off on the wrong foot with the City by atarting the work without the required permits. Be felt Mr. Bradach should be allowed to live in the home while he is working on it, stating that Mr. Bradach probably would not have bought the house if he knew of the problems he would encounter.
Evelyn Nygaard stated that the City records indicated a building permit obtained in 1957 for a remodel indicating work to be done as •concrete slab entrance to back door, fireplace, already put foundation in, fixing up inside of house•. The Building Code in effect for 1957 was the code of 1952 which required frost footings. She stated that doing cosmetic work to the property would not be sufficient. Major corrections must be made to allow occupancy of the structure.
Discussion was held regarding what Kr. Bradach needed to do to the house to gain occupancy. Be was informed by Evelyn Nygaard that Mr. Bradach should put together a plan outlining his intention for the rehabilitation of the property to code and submit it to her office for review. She stated that his plans must address the plumbing, electrical and heating repairs as well as the atructural items he plans on correcting. Upon the completion of certain items, occupancy may be granted.

A.Ordinance #1269 was presented for review. Evelyn H7gaard explained thatOrdinance #1269 would refine the requireaenta for private garages in the 1.-1 anda-2 Zoning Districts to allow only one private garage per residence. It alsoincludes the 1tipulation that acce11ory buildin11 cannot exceed the equarefootage or height of the principal building nor a auillwD of 18 feet in heightor 1,000 1quare feet in total 1ize.
Discussion was held regarding the impact on the City if this change was implemented. Attorney Bocwinski 1tated that the Zoning Ordinance defined a private garage as a detached acceuory building or portion of a principal building, including a carport, which i1 used primarily for 1toring pa11enger vehicles, trailers or trucks. She reminded the Commi11ion that thi1 Ordinance change would allow only one garage, which would greatly affect existing properties with ,mall attached or detached garages.
It was decided that more dilcuuion was neceuary prior to adoption. It was the contention of the Commissioners that they should think about this proposal and submit questions or comments to Evelyn Nygaard.

ITEM: Conditional Use Permit, Kuba 7. 3. .a ..BY: Evelyn Nygaard� BY:�iJ
NO: Case #9309-26, 5003 University Ave. DATE: September 9, 1993
The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommend to the City Council the approval of a request by Kay Kuba of Global Computronics for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the installation of a tent in the parking lot of 5003 University Avenue for a period of three days from September 28-30, 1993. The approval was contingent upon a $500 check be submitted to the City prior to the erection of the tent to assure removal by October 1, 1993.
The tent would be used to house a technology trade show with a display of the latest computer products by major vendors. The event would be by invitation only and the guests would be picked up at their businesses by chartered bus so no parking problems should be encountered.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move to approve the Conditional Use Permit to allow the installation of a tent in
the parking lot of 5003 University Avenue from September 28-30, 1993 provided a $500 check is submitted to the City prior to the erection of the tent to assure its
removal by October 1, 1993.

ITEM: Variance, Grace & Truth Chapel �, 7.a.-r.NO: Case #9309-27, 200 N.E. 44th Ave.
Meeting of: September 13, 1993
ORIGINATING DEPT.: Planning & Zoning
BY: Evelyn NygaardY--
DATE: September 10, 1993
The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommend approval of a request by the Grace and Truth Chapel for a variance of 24 feet to the requirement of a 25 foot front yard setback for an existing freestanding sign presently located one foot from the front property line at 200 N.E. 44th Avenue. The approval was based on the hardship of trees on adjoining properties blocking visibility of the sign.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move to approve the 24 foot front yard setback variance to allow the existing freestanding sign to remain in its present location at 200 N.E. 44th Avenue.

Section s Description or Request:
Starting 8/28193:

c/o Audeen Richetto, Treasurer
9143 Ranchview Lane
Maple Grove, MN 55369
City code requires our freestanding sign to be 1 0' from the prQJZeT{y line (along 44th
avenue). The sign manufacturer incorrectly installed the sign 10' from the &Hil2. (0.8' from
the property line). We request permission to leave the sign at the current location to allow
for better visibility and readability from 44th avenue.
Section 7 Reason For Request; The sign is currently installed 10 feet from the curb along 44th avenue. In order for the
sign to be in compliance it would have to be 19 feet from the curb. We believe this would
be a disadvantage for the following reasons:
1)Reduced "Window of Readability".
The sign utilizes 4" high letters and is designed to be readable from a distance of 100 feet
Since the sign is double-sided and mounted perpendicular to the road, it can be read from
both directions along 44th avenue. As traffic passes by. readabili ty of the sign will start
when the passengers are 100 feet from the sign and will conclude when the angle of sight
is greater than 45°. This defines a "window of readability" or a distance of travel along
44th avenue over which the sign is readable. The attached scale drawings show that if the
sign is moved back to 19 feet, the window of readability will be reduced from 7 4' to 61' on
the eastbound lane and from 62' to 39' on the westbound lane. This calculates out to a
combined 26% reduction in readability.
2)Reduced Visibility.
If the sign were moved back to 19 feet, visibil ity of the sign would be partially obstructed
by the tree on the corner of 44th avenue and 2nd street (see attached drawing showing
alternate location of sign). The tree is about 30 feet in diameter and about 50 feet tall.
3)Cost of Move.
The sign manufacturer estimates that the cost to move the sign will be over $500
(including re-installing electrical service).
Section 8 Exhibits Submitted; See attached drawings:
1)Scale drawing showing existing location of sign.
2)Scale drawing showing alternate location of sign (with code compliance).
3)Plat survey drawing (for reference only).

$8,345
2.Lexington Glass and Screen proposes decreasing the size of the windows so that safety glass is not required. Theypropose leaving the windows on the east side of the building as is because the sills there were replaced in 1992.Their quote does not include painting.
· Staff is recommending acceptance of the proposal from Lexington Glus and Screen for $8,345.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Moved to aulhori7.e replacement of window and door sills, accompanying glass, andappropriaie panel!! as detailed in quotation from Lexingu>n Glass and Screen for the amount of $8,345 based on lowinformal quotation; and fu.nhennore, LO authoril.e 1he Mayor and City Manager to enter inlo an agreement for the same.

ORIGINATING DEPT.: I CITY MANAGERFINANCE APPROVAL
ITEM: DURATION OF A LIGHT DUTY METER READER POSIDON BY: WIL� ELRITE lJLflt,r-
NO: q. A.DATE: SEPTEMBER 6, 1993
On or about June 12, 1991, Myrtice Degenstein, a part-time meter reader, fell and was injured while on
duty. Frem June 12, 1991 to August 25 , 1992, Myrtice worked primarily in a light duty capacity with the
Oty. From the period of August 25, 1992 through February 2, 1993 she was out for surgery on her
shoulder and drew worker's compensation in the amount of $221.49/week, which was based on her
average earnings for the six month period preceding her accident. During this six month period, Myrtice
worked additional hours because of vacancies in the second meter reader position. On February 3, 1993,
Myrtice returned to work for the Oty in a light duty capacity.
It has been determined by her doctor and the doctor the Oty referred her to that she will not be able to
return to meter reading as a result of her on-duty injury and subsequent surgery. The City has two
options: 1) create a light duty position for Myrtice and retain her in this position, or 2) have her draw
worker's compensation. Her current hourJy rate i� $8.84/hour which equals $176.80 at 20 hours/week.
Wit h benefits, the weekly cast to the Oty would be $202.77. Under worker's compensation, she will draw
$221.49 /week.
Our worker's compensation policy requires that we reimburse 120 percent of this amount to the LMC
Insurance Trust Fund at a cost of $265.79/week. In addition to this, Myrtice plans to retire in less than one
year. If a light duty position is created and she retires she will not be eligible to draw worker's
compensation. If she is being paid from worker's compensation when she retires, she can continue to draw
worker's compensation for an indefinite periad of time. Based on this information it is in the Gty's best
financial interest to create a light duty position for Myrtice until her retirement.
In summary, by creating a light duty position, the Oty saves $3,277 a year until Myrtice retires, and $13,821
per year after she retires. If Myrtice draws worker's compensation it will also have a negative effect on the
City's experience rating and will increase total worker's compensation costs.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to create a light duty meter reader position, due to worker's
compensation disability, not to exceed one year or until the retirement of Myrtice Degenstein, and to
appropriate $5,272 from Retained Earnings in the water fund & sewer fund administrative budgets for this
position.

t;. l>. DATE: 9n/93 DATE:
The budgeted amounts for these projects were based on bids received in 1992. Neither contractor from 1992 bid on the projects this year.
Staff does not feel the project costs will decrease substantially by rejecting these bids and rebidding in 1994.
Project 9113 -Highland Lake Outlet
The low bid for the project is under the budget amount of $21,000.
Project 9123 -Stinson/Argonne Outlet
The low bid for the project is over the budget amount of $31,000 by almost $5,000.00. The scope of the project changed in 1993 due to a
change in ownership at 717 Stinson Blvd. (New Brighton). The Qriginal project was designed to re place the pipe. Now the majority of the
pipe is being lined Lining the pipe will not disturb the trees on the property at 717 Stinson Blvd. This change in project scope increased
the cost of the project.
Project 9125 -Jackson Pond Inlets/Outlet
The low bid for the project is over the budget amount of $57,000 by approximately $20,000. There are unused funds budgeted for other
upgrades at Jackson Pond to cover the additional amount It is important that this project be done in 1993. The outfall pipe of the east side
of the pond has worked loose at the pipe co.nnection and is in the pond.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to award bids for Projects 9113, 9123 and 9125 to Lametti and Sons of Hugo, Minnesota, as the lowest,
qualified responsible bidder in the amount of $134,283.00 budgeted in line item 652-49499-5130; and, furtbennore, to authorize the Mayor

MANAGER'S REPORT
SEPTEMBER 10, 1993
1)OPERATIONAL REPORTS FOR AUGUST--
lo.A.
Attached are operational reports from various Division Heads indicating the significant items undertaken
or accomplished for the month of August. I trust you will find the reports to be informational and
beneficiaJ with regard to major undertakings occurring within the divisions in this past reporting period.
2)COMMUNITY SERVICE WORKER HOURS--
During the month of August, staff utilized the following hours of volunteer service:
Administration/City Hal] . . . . 42:35 hours -City Volunteers & Anoka-Hennepin-Ramsey
Library . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2:00 hours -Fare Share
Fire/Public Works . . . . . . . . . 34:00 hours -Anoka-Hennepin-Ramsey
78:35 hours -Total
3)SHARED RIDE RECAP--
See attached Shared Ride Expansion and Origination -Destination reports for the month of July, 1993.
4)JULY SOLID WASTE REPORTS--
Enclosed please reference the Solid Waste Report for July, 1993. If you have any questions, contact Valorie
Gifford, 782-2813.
5)PROMOTIONAL VIDEO--
Valorie Gifford and Michele Rivera have prepared a promotional video on Columbia Heights. The video
is ten minutes long and gives an overview of the City and its structure. The video will be helpful for new
employees and other civic organizations.
6)IDGHWAY 47 TRAFFIC REROUTING--
We have been notified of a weight restriction that will be placed on Highway 47 (University A venue) bridge
over the railroad tracks south of St. Anthony Boulevard, effective September 1, 1993. This restriction will
be in place until the bridge is reconstructed which is not anticipated in the next five years.
MTC will be rerouting 14 AM buses and 15 PM buses up to Central Avenue to 37th Avenue to University.
Public Works Director Winson also indicated we can anticipate an increase in truck traffic on Central
Avenue, 37th Avenue, 40th Avenue, and 44th Avenue as result of the rerouting and restrictions.
MANAGER'S REPORT
Page 2
September 10, 1993
7)ACCAP CENTRAL A VENUE PROJECT--
Enclosed please find a letter from ACCAP regarding the status of the 3932 Central Avenue apartment
project. The letter indicates that although they do not plan. to displace anyone, but the building through
resident attrition will eventually become a senior and disabled housing project. ACCAP hopes to get
underway with the renovation by November 1, 1993.
8)RAil.ROAD HUMPING OPERATION NOISE--
Councilmember Nawrocki brought to my attention complaints regarding the "noise" emitting during the
humping operation at the Burlington Northern Northtown Rail Yard. Enclosed please find a response from
the Rail Yard Terminal Superintendent, Tim Godsil. In the event any citizens or City Council wish to meet
directly with rail yard officials, I can arrange a meeting later in September or early October.
9)POST OFFICE ROAD RESTRICTION REPLY--
The City Council recently reviewed in a work session the enclosed reply from the post office legal
department on the applicability of the road restrictions on the post office operations. The Traffic
Commission will review this matter formally at their next meeting and the City staff will also off er both
to the post office and the Traffic Commission the potential of establishing a separate segregated entrance
off of 44th A venue for the truck traffic. Hopefully, the Traffic Commission's final recommendation to the
Council will be reported at an October City Council meeting.
10)METROPOLITAN COUNCIL ISSUE.�--
Enclosed please find background information submitted by the North Metro Mayors Association on
Metropolitan Council issues and the State Advisory Council on Metropolitan Governance. Please take an
opportunity to review the information and provide comments to me at your earliest convenience. I will
attempt to forward your comments or concerns to the North Metro Mayors Association so that they can be
formulated as part of NMMA's legislative efforts.
11)LIBRARY WINDOW SILL REPLACEMENT--
City staff has prepared a basic work plan for the va.rious glazing companies that are providing proposals for
the replacement of the window sills at the Library. We have attempted to include more local contractor
involvement and have proposals presented in a more uniform basis. This item will be before the City
Council at the September 27th meeting.
12)40TH A VENUE STREET LIGHTING PROBLEMS--
Last week, one of the older ornamental street lights on 40th Avenue between University and 5th Street fell
onto the lane of traffic. Upon inspection, it was found that the base of the light had rusted out and a
similar condition exists on nearly all of the remaining fourteen lights. The Public Works Department is
gathering cost estimates and information on replacing the lights. In the meantime, four of the lights will
be inactive.
MANAGER'S REPORT
Page 3
September 10, 1993
13)SPECIAL ELECTION DAY TRANSPORTATION--
As the City Council is aware, we discussed a proposal by Suburban Taxi Corporation to provide election
day transportation to any of the precincts in the City of Columbia Heights. After further discussion, the
City Council determined that the absentee voting laws have been liberalized to the extent that persons
having difficulty getting to the polls can be accommodated through the absentee voting process.
14)TAX-FORFEIT LAND--
An ordinance is being prepared for City Council consideration at the September 27th meeting for the Szurek
property purchase on 42nd Avenue. The City Attorney is requesting the necessary deed from the County
and State for the request to purchase tax-forfeited property near Maiden Lane. The deeds will move
through the normal channels in a reasonable timeline.
15)STINSON BOULEVARD/ 39TH AVENUE TRAFFIC SIGNALIZATION--
Be advised that the St. Anthony City Council has reconfirmed their commitment for traffic signalization
on Stinson Boulevard at 39th Avenue. The Public Works Department is preparing the necessary traffic
warrant study and will proceed with getting necessary approvals on the project as expeditiously as possible.
Sometime in the near future, a joint powers agreement between St. Anthony and Columbia Heights will be
formally presented for consideration.
16)HA YF.S STREET HOUSING COMPLAINTS--
The Building Inspections Department finally received permission to inspect both 4030 Hayes Street NE
(John and Jacqueline Lang residence) and 4020 Hayes Street NE (Daniel Koch residence). The Lang
residence appears to have a non-conforming apartment in the-lower level. However, this apartment was
approved through a building permit, as the inspection cards indicate the inclusion of a basement apartment.
Currently, the rental dwelling is being occupied by an in-law and, as a matter of past precedent, we have
not enforced the licensing requiiements or determined the property to be rental, if the case of in-laws. In
the case of Dan Koch's property, we found that it is not legally separated in terms of access into and
between living areas and the two residences appear to share common facilities, with the exception of a smaJI
kitchenette in the lower level. Sometime in the near future, our housing maintenance code and zoning
ordinance should clearly delineate the circumstances whereby rental license fees and dual utility charges
apply as they relate to relatives, mother-in-law apartments, and rooming house arrangements.
17)HEALTH CARE CLINIC, SISTERS OF ST. JOSEPH--
Carol Frey, Volunteer Coordinator, has attended a number of meetings in Fridley regarding the
development of a health care clinic that will provide free or low-cost health care services to individuals who
are not otherwise covered by medical assistance, medicare, or traditional health care plans. For the most
part, this service is aimed at unemployed individuals, young adults, or individuals working at lower income
jobs that do not provide health insurance. It appears that the health care clinic proposed in Fridley will
open September 30th. The same group is interested in opening a clinic in Columbia Heights, however, the
availability of providing clinic space appears to be the necessary element. If the City Council is interested
in pursuing this program further, I will set up a meeting with Carondelet Life Care officials.
MANAGER'S REPORT
Page 4
September 10, 1993
18)RF.SIDENTIAL METER REPAIR--
A question was asked at a recent Council Work Session about who pays for residential meter repairs. We
have, in the past, charged for parts (but no labor/installation) such as a seal replacement. If major repairs
are necessary, it is generally less expensive to replace the meter. Most recently, we have replaced about
thirty meters in the past year which is somewhat higher than our previous years' replacements. Of course,
the owner pays for the new meter.

DEPARTMENTAL GOALS:
1994 BUDGET PROCESS
The proposed budget and proposed levy are scheduled to be adopted at the September
13th City Council meeting.
LIQUOR OPERATION
Phil Suckerman is continuing to negotiate with Kraus-Anderson for the renewal of the
lease at Top Valu Liquor on Central Avenue. The list of concerns has been narrowed to
a few items and we anticipate having a renewal lease to present to the City Council
before year-end.
1993 CITY ELECTION
The primary election will be held on September 21st. On Monday, September 14th, we
will have the official public testing of the election equipment. This is a standard event
that occurs prior to each election; however, we have been informed that at this testing
representatives from the County and Secretary of State's office will be available to verify
the procedures we are using. I do not anticipate any problems with the test and/or the
presence of the representatives from the County or Secretary of State's office.

Composting Pilot Program
The Composting Pilot Program is proceeding. I have visited numerous sites and videotaped the bins in use. The weathe,r this year has been eztreme Jnd has speeded up the de-composition of the bins. They are not holding up as we had hoped. However,,, most of the residents using them find them adequate. Ve will continue to monitor program as we enter the fall leaf collection season.

As you know, we unveiled the promotional video "The City of Columbia Heights: A City of Contrasts" last
Friday. I ha"e made several copies and they are now available for internal use, and to share with
community groups. The video is 10 minutes long and gives an overview of our city and its structure. I
believe it may be usefuJ for new employees who do not live here.
I plan to make it available to HRA, the Chamber of Commerce, the Boosters, Lions, Kiwanis and other civic
organizations. If you have any suggestions for its use l would appreciate hearing them.

MANAGER
CITY OF COLUMB� HEIGHTS
Anoka County Community Action Program has purchased 3932 Central Ave.
We are in the process of arranging the first mortgage financing that the City of Columbia Heights had previously agreed to do and then will commence with the renovation and implementation of our other program objectives.
As we have previously represented we expect to invest $150,000, or almost $7,000 per unit in the renovation. We will reduce the rents so that the existing renters which are over 80% very low income will have the rental burden reduced. We do not plan to displace anyone. All existing renters will be asked to stay. The building through resident attrition will eventually become senior and disabled housing.
Our plans for the building also involve integrating social services with the ownership and management of the Project. Through this integration we hope to improve the management of the building and the status of residents at 3932 Central through educational and job training support and self sufficiency training.
We hope to be underway with the renovation by November 1, 1993. Because of the approaching winter months, some of the exterior work may have to be delayed until spring and summer. We will be working with City on the renovation and building issues and are already in regular communication with them.
If you have any questions or comments please give us a call. We appreciate the interest and cooperation that the City has shown.

MAN.A GERCITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
September 2, 1993
Regarding our conversation and your letter of August 31, 1993, concerning retarder "noise"
emitting during the humping operation at the Northtown yard, I can offer the following
information.
We have not made any physical changes to the retarder system in the last two years with the
exception of replacing the master retarder with an identical rebuilt unit. During that period
of approximately 30 days, the retarder noise reduction walls were down; however, they were
put back in place before early April. The 9 retarder units all have noise absorbing steel walls
approximately 8 ft. high to absorb and deflect the emitted frequencies vertically.
Our increased activity account the recent Midwest flooding has subsided at this time and we
are almost back to "normal H . This detouring accounted for an approximate 25% increase in
the operation here at Northtown yard.
In talking with the Signal Dept., who is responsible for the maintenance of this equipment,
they advise there may be a different retarder brake shoe that may be quieter. I will report
those results in a couple of weeks.
I would be willing to meet with you and any citizen's groups regarding this problem. We do
try to be responsible neighbors.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Winson:
1[[:c_
This follows up on our telephone conversation of yesterday morning regarding application of city Regulation 7.201(2) to vehicles carrying u.s. Mail via Tyler Place N.E. and 43�th. Avenue N.E. to the u.s. Post Office on 44th. Avenue N.E.
To recap the sit uation as I understand it, the city Regulation in question provides as follows:
The council may regulate the use of streets DY vehicles in excess of 15,000 pounds gross vehicle weight as follows:
(a)The council may designate truck routes and require suchvehicles to use said routes at all times, except asotherwise provided hereinafter.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting any vehicle in excess of 15,000 pounds gross vehicle weight from using any City street where absolutely necessary to reach a particular destination within the City.
The u.s. Postal Service has been •erving th• Post Office with tractor-trailer vehicles, which exceed l�,ooo pounds GVW, via the streets identified above, altho�gh the the Council ha s not des ignated those streets as truck routes.
Th• Postal Service regards the streeta in question as "post road•" within the meaning of title 39, U.S. Cod• ••ction !003, which provides in pertinent part as follows:
The following are post roads:
•• •(4)public roads, highways, and t�ll roads during thetime the mail is carried thereon ••••

It is well established that poatal vehicles, while operating on poat t-oads, are •ubjact to state and local law• of 9eneral applicability relating to the •ate operation of vehicles.

CURRENT
MAJOR
ISSUE
AREAS
August 30, 1993
TRANSPORTATION
Histoey
Regional·transportation planning activities in the Twin Cities have taken place for over 30 years, with voluntary
arrangements made as early as 1958. The 1962 Federal Highway Act encouraged a comprehensive, continuing and
coordinated metropolitan planning process (3C process) involving the state and local units of government. Eventually
the process became a requirement to qualify for federal funds. Prior to the Council, this p� was coordinated
by the Minnesota Department of Highways and the Metropolitan Planning Commission. Since its creation in 1967,
the Council became involved in the process. In 1973, the Council was designated by the governor as the Metropolitan
Planning Organization (MPO) to carry out regional transportation planning mandated by federal law.
The Council's role has changed over the years. Initially, the Council was primarily responsible for long range planning
and process coordination (i.e ensuring city, county and state participation). In 1974, the Council role in regional
transit planning and oversight was expanded in the Metropolitan Reorganization Act (MR.A). The Council was given
authority to approve the transit capital budget and a five-year transit development program (the budget approval
authority was taken away by the legislature starting in 1989). The MRA also created a Transportation Advisory Board
(TAB) as a forum for dehberation among state, regional and local elected officials. In 1984, the RTB was created
to perform mid-and short-range transit planning and administer transit services under Council oversight.
In 1991, the federal Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (IS1EA) significantly expanded the role of
metropolitan planning organizations, particularly in the area of setting priorities for federally funded projects. It also
emphasizes integration of land use and transportation planning, goods movements, economic efficiency and
environmental protection. The IS1EA legislation provides significant funds (up to 80 percent of the planning costs)
to go with the added responsibilities. The Council provides the 20 percent funding match.
Wbv is the Council Involved
Toe regional transportation systems (i.e. highways, transit and airports) require large infrastructure investments and
significant operating and maintenance costs. The Council plays an important role in setting regio� transportation
investment priorities. Transportation also strongly interacts with the overall regional development patterns. The
Council performs a critical role in ensuring metropolitan land use/transportation coordination.
The Council deals with transportation issues that go beyond local community borders. It also ensures that local
governments and the region as a whole receive fair, consistent responses from federal and state funding agencies.
The Council advocates regional needs to counter piecemeal actions.
The Council's plans, backed up by its own independent research, are the basis for project and program
implementation activities developed and implemented by Mn/DOT, RTB and the MAC. The Council sets regional
direction and policies to determine where major transportation facilities go, how to best manage those already in
place, where to have transit, LRT or buses; and has a major role in determining major airport needs. The Council
helps develop transportation financing policies that are equitable, effective and efficient.
Impact on the Council's Purpose Statement
Transportation has economic, environmental and societal impacts. It provides many vital linkages that enable the
metropolitan area to function as a single unit and improve the productivity and competitivity of the regional
economy. Transportation is, after housing, the second largest household expenditure. Transportation impacts the
environment through energy consumption, storm water runoff and tailpipe emissions and noise. From a societal
viewpoint, transportation meets basic needs such as access to work, home, school, business, recreation and health
care. For instance, the average metropolitan resident makes four trips/day on a typical weekday to meet those basic
societal needs.
SOLID WASTE
History
With the establishment of the Council in 1967, the Legislature required a study of the need for and financing of facilities to dispose of solid waste. In 1971 the Council prepared the region's first solid waste management plan.
The Waste Management Act (WMA) of 1980, as amended, mandates that the Council prepare and update the region's policy plan and that the counties prepare plans consistent with it. The Council planning and oversight roles require it to review and approve county plans and certification reports, as well as, facility permits, designation plans and waste contracts. In addition, the Council distnoutes nearly $25 million a year from the Metropolitan Landfill Abatement Account to cities, counties, business and nonprofits.
Whv is the Council Involved A regional perspective is necessary to oversee private, county and municipal programs or facilities, in the management and disposal of solid waste. The Council has fIVe stated goals: reduce toxic materials in the waste stream, maximize reuse and recycling, operate waste processing facilities efficiently, integrate the system, and allocate costs to the waste generators.
Impact on the Council's Purpose Statement Solid waste impacts primarily the economic and environmental elements of the purpose statement. A decade ago, this region depended on landfills to manage the waste. None of them were lined or had systems that collect liquid flowing out of landfills to protect ground water. None had a methane collection system to protect the air.
Through the work of the Council, today landfills are designed and operated to protect the environment. The solid waste system has public and private recycling programs throughout the region and includes facilities to process waste for use as fuel. In 1991, the system cost over $380 million to operate and had 200 private firms collecting waste from residences and businesses or operating facilities.
LAND USE
History
The Council's 1967 enabling legislation requires it to prepare a metropolitan development guide
that addresses the physical. social or economic needs of the metropolitan area and any future developm.ent "which will have an impact on the entire area including but not limited to such
matters as .. .land use ... " The guide serves as the basis for decision-making by the Council. Its first major regional land use plan was the Metropolitan Development Framework adopted in 1975. To implement it, the Council sponsored legislation requiring all local governments within the region
to prepare comprehensive plans that address land use, public services and implementation.
Since passage of the Land Planning Act in 1976, all local governments in the region adopted
comprehensive plans with land use components that were reviewed by the Council. The Council
now reviews all revisions and amendments to those plans. The development framework was
updated in 1986 and renamed the Metropolitan Development and Investment Framework (MDIF) because it included a new emphasis on overseeing and coordinating investments in
regional facilities and capital programming throughout the region. By the end of 1993, the MDIF, now referred to as the Regional Blueprint, will have undergone a complete revision.
The Council also has statutory authority to review matters of metropolitan significance. Although
thls authority dates back to the Council's inception, it was not until 1976 that the Council actually
adopted rules for reviewing what it considered to be regionally significant land use and
development issues. Also, the Council has been involved in land use through its interest in environmental and natural resources protection. This has taken many forms including acquisition
of a natural resource-based regional park system, adoption of regional environmental policies, and
promulgation of model ordinances for protecting significant environmental features. The
Council's interest in environmental management also led to a significant role in implementing the
Mississippi River Critical Area designation. This interest is evolving into a major planning and implementation responsibility for the Council as the designated agency for the Mississippi
National River and Recreation Area. The MDIF designates farmland as a primary land use to be
protected within the region. Consequently, the Council sponsored the Metropolitan Agricultural
Preserves Act in 1980, for which the Council still has implementing responsibility.
Whv is the Council involved As part of the Council's mission to coordinate the planning and development of the metropolitan
area, it was required to prepare and adopt a metropolitan development guide describing the
orderly and economic development, public and private, of the metropolitan area. Land use was
cited as one element of the guide.
Relation to Council Purpose Statement
The Blueprint is the Council's keystone policy plan for the economic, societal and environmental
health of the metropolitan area and the basis for Council actions and decisions. Issues include:
providing necessary regional services to support economic development and growth within an
urban service area; ensuring that metropolitan area residents have adequate housing at a
reasonable cost; concentrating major commercial and industrial development so that public
services and facilities can be provided in the most economic and efficient manner;
maintaining a strong, diversified economy; and, making efficient use of existing public investments
before making new ones.
WATER :MANAGEMENT
Historv
In 1967 the need for a regional :;ewage treatment system established a greater need for a regional
planning and coordinating agency -the Metropolitan Council. A sewer plan was developed in 1968,
the Metro Sewer Board was created in 1969, and the Council has bad planning, coordinating,
oversight and funding roles for th.e sewer system.
The Council's role in water management over the years expanded due to federal and state legis.lation.
The 1972 federal Water Pollution Control Act and amendments required planning for pollution
control from sewage and runoff. In 1976, the Council was designated the Areawide Water Management Planning Agency. It then prepared a "208 Plan" for sewers in 1979 and for runoff
pollution in 1982. The plan provided the basis for the passage of the Metro Area watershed planning state legislation of 1982. The "208" plans were key to federal and state funding for sewer and
nonpoint source pollution abatement projects.
Because of the drought of 1987, the second in 10 years, and the lack of preparedness of state and
local agencies, the Legislature directed the Council to prepare both short and long-term water supply
plans for use by local government
Whv is the Council involvedThere is a regional investment and pollution impact of water management in the region. The issue
crosses jurisdictional boundaries.
The sewer system is an important tool to manage regional growth and land use.
A research database is essential to identify trends, cause and severity of water quality problems and solutions.
Impact on the Council's Purpose Statement
A Council role in water management has an environmental impact due to its review of local comprehensive plans and the adequacy of water supply. In addition, groundwater extraction is
monitored to ensure it does not harm the environment.
The societal impact is due to expenditures for wastewater treatment and nonpoint source pollution
control being addressed in a system approach in order to monitor the impact on the regional citizen's health and welfare.
The economic impact is due to its system approach to sewering the metro area and oversight of the
MWCC to minimize sewer expenditures. In addition, the Council is beginning to evaluate the cost
of nonpoint pollution and the alternatives for controlling it.
HOUSING
History
In 1971 the Metropolitan Council adopted a housing plan in response to two major regional concerns:
a)the growing need for affordable housing for low-in.come households; and b) the heavy
concentrations of low income persons in parts of the two central cities. Providing directions for
"suitable" housing for all residents " throughout" the region was the central goal of that first housing
policy. In the 1970s, the Council influenced the distnbution of affordable market-rate and subsidized
housing in the region by using two main tools: the federally mandated A-95 review and comment
process for local government plans, and working directly as the Metro HRA with suburban
governments in implementing federal Section 8 housing. With the first tool, the Council assigned
lower priority to local requests for federal funding if the municipality did not have plans in place to
provide low-and moderate-income housing.
As funding for federal housing programs decreased drastically in the early 1980s and the A-95 review
was terminated, the Council's ability to implement housing policy also diminished. Tools to implement
housing policy adopted by the Council after 1985 were limited to advisory comments. By the late
1980s old housing problems intensified and new ones appeared: a larger gap between the number of
low-income households and the number of affordable units; concentrations of low-income housing;
homelessness; loss of federal tax benefits for rental property (Tax Reform Act of 1986), and others.
In 1992 the Council began revising its 1985 housing policy plan with an extensive public process.
Three issues were prominent: a) an inadequate supply of housing for low income people; b) need to
link affordable housing with jobs and transportation throughout the region; c) rapid aging of the
housing stock in older areas of the region and accompanying economic and societal impacts.
Why Is the Council involved
The Council's basic mission as defined in legislation calls for regional planning for land use. Housing
uses the largest share of available land. In addition, housing development and location has direct
impact on demand for clean water, sewer capacity, roads and transit, and other infrastructure
investments. As housing problems resurfaced in recent years, various constitutencies (represented
on the 1990 Regional Housing Task Force) urged the Council to pursue regional strategies to solve
the problems.
Impact on the Council's purpose statement
Housing has an environmental impact on the region because of the high demand for land, water,
sewers, and the possibility of underground water pollution when septic tanks fail Housing
developments can also affect wetlands and other regional natural resources like rivers, lakes, and
open space.
Concentrations of low-income housing in the central cities and older neighborhoods contnbute to a
societal environment that is often characterized by unemployment, crime and heavy demand for social
services. That places a heavy financial investment burden on the school districts that have to serve
high numbers of low-income children, and may have an impact on the perceived overall quality of life.
The existing housing stock represents a major economic investment that is in !he region's interest _to
preserve. A well-maintained housing stock benefits not only its owners (m the form of equity
preservation or buildup) but also contributes to neighborhood stability and to the tax base of the local
government where it is located.
RESEARCH
Historv
The Metropolitan Council and its predecessor the Metropolitan Planning Commission have always
maintained a strong general research function. Past and current research focus on information and
analysis about the changing physical, social, and economic conditions in the region. The Council's
research displays a regional viewpoint in describing and analyzing issues. As the Council
implements regional solutions to some of these issues, Council research findings and services are
used by local governments, legislators, businesses and others, to support regional policy. The Council provides research expertise in demographics, economics and development to ensure that
data becomes information, and that it is used in the policy-making process. Since the mid-1980s
the Council has used research to explore emerging issues through its involvement in strategic planning.
In addition to analyzing this basic infonnation about regional growth and development, the
Council does research in functional programs. Examples include: collection and analysis of a
regional travel behavior inventory; travel forecasts; analysis of the U.S. Census transportation
planning package; primary data collection and analysis of water quality in the region; a survey of
park use.
Wbv is the Council involved
Through research, the Council maintains a strong and u,nique base of regional information and
expertise to provide the necessary context for analysis of current and emerging issues. Research
provides the basis for Council decision-making and allows the Council to implement rel!ional policy by putting subregional analysis in a regional context and regi onal analysis in a state or
national context. For example, the Council recognizes that the decisions made by individuals and
businesses (e.g., where they choose to locate or invest) determine whether regional policy will be
successful. Also the Council uses research as a tool to monitor outcomes of its policies.
Impact on the Council's purpose statement
Basic research is essential to the purpose of a planning agency --particularly in the areas of
societal and economic issues. The large centralized repository of current and historical information
about social and demographic trends in the region is used to perform a wide variety of activities, such as: forecasting population, households, and employment for systems planning work;
estimating population annually for use in the State Aid formula; identifying emerging issues --e.g.,
Trouble at the Core Repon. In addition, this collection of regional information and analysis is used
by the outside world, particularly �usinesses.
Economic research is used for a variety of activities, such as: monitoring the economic health of
the region; estimating regional economic benefits for important issues like the Mega-Mall or the
Target Center; and planning for major regional facilities like the airport.
REGIONAL INVESTMENT FINANCING, MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT
Histon
Regional investment is the chief oversight mechanism for ensuring accountability with the
metropolitan governance system. The Council has the authority to review transit, sewers, aviation
and parks expenditures by approving the financial plans of the RTB and MWCC, the capital program
of MAC and the distnbution of grant funds for parks. Through these mechanisms the Council can
ensure that the operating agencies provide their services consistent with Council directives in the
policy plans.
The Council also has authority to issue bonds for capital facilities and to distnbute the proceeds of
the bonds only for projects previously approved by the Council. In addition, the Metro Governance
Act of 1986 directed the Council to collect, analyze and publish information on the finances of the
seven metropolitan agencies (Council, MWCC, RTB, MAC, MSFC, MPOSC, MTC) to assist the
legislature in overseeing the metropolitan agencies.
Prior to 1992, when the Council began tracking public expenditures across taxing jurisdictions in
health care, education, welfare and transportation, it was not analyzed. It became evident at a series
of Council-sponsored forums in 1989-90·that there was a lack of basic information on (1) how much
aggregate tax is expended in the metropolitan area and (2) what we are getting for these
expenditures. From 1991 through 1993, Council staff collected information from the State, the seven
counties, 187 municipalities ( as well as from non-profit organizations) to develop a big picture of how
public dollars are "invested" in the region.
Whv is the Council Involved
In its broadest connotation, regional investment relates to virtually every area the Council is inwlved
in -land-use, metro systems, housing, aging, etc. Through decisions or recommendations on whether
and how to expend funds within the region on public or quasi-public services, the Council influences
the orderly and economic development of the region. The Council has a major role in determining
how federal transportation, aging and housing :funds are spent The Council also determines the
level, timing and location of regional investments in transit, sewers and airports through the policy
planning{implementation plan process. And state funds for regional park acquisition, development
and operations are distnbuted by the Council in accord with its parks policy plan.
Over the past two to three years, others have called on the Metropolitan Council to play a role in
regard to regional public expenditures for services and programs. There is no other agency that
provides a cross-system and cross perspective-the larger context in which specific decisions can be
made. For example, recent legislation calls on the Council to look at public investments in major
infrastructure, e.g libraries, school buildings, a "public facility inventory," etc.
Impact on the Council's Purpose Statement
Regional investment is the cost-effective, efficient and equitable use of regional financial resources
to meet the region's economic, societal and environmental goals.
METRO INITIATIVES FOR THE '90'S
Histoq
Minnesota Statutes (chapter 473.244, the Council's basic enabling legislation) states that: "the Metropolitan Council shall engage in a continuous program of research and study conceming ... the
necessity for the consolidation of common services of local government units and the kind of
consolidation most suitable in the public interest." Examples of past work include the metro-wide 911
system and the start up of the regional trunked radio project.
Early in 1991, Governor Ame Carlson assigned the Metropolitan Council to assess how the delivery
of government services in the region can be improved. In response to this request the Council set a
priority to assist local governments in this area.
As part of its on going work and in response to the Governor's latest request, the Council activities
include:
·For 1992: Regional Trunked Radio Project; a March forum featuring Ted Gaebler, author of
"Reinventing Government"; service sharing survey; Intergovernmental Resource Center; monitoring
other groups; assisting five N .W. Hennepin County communities; New Ventures Advisory Task Force;
dispute resolution; and papers on Barriers and Service Redesign.
·For 1993: Regional Trunked Radio Project; Lake Minnetonka Cities Project; Generations Project;
Regional Library and Information Study; "Best Practices" developing standardized measurements;
international economic development and business promotion strategy; Regional Blueprint economic
strategy; werk with Board on Government Innovation and Cooperation; Regional Information and
Referral System; business enterprise and work force development; joint venture on regional economic
database; lake water quality; Intergovernmental Resource Center; Sound Ideas Newsletter; Peter
Brokenshire on auditing; and Meeting of the Minds forum.
Whv is the Council involved
The Council's basic mission as defined in legislation calls for " ... planning and coordinating the orderly
and economical development of the seven county area." The Council has carried out this charge
historically through regional systems planning in areas like 911, sewers, highways, and parks, and a variety of regional service delivery/coordination. The Metro HRA, Solid Waste, the Area Agency
on Aging are examples of areas where the Council has improved the coordination and
implementation of service delivery.
Impact on the Council's purpose statement
The Metro Initiatives activities focus on the economies of government service delivery, which has
obvious societal implications. While not a primary component of all project activities, the
environment is a factor in some of the Metro Initiatives. Examples include street sweeping and the
lake water quality project.

TRANSPORTATION
History
Regional transportation planning activities in the Twin Cities have taken place for over 30 years, with voluntary arrangements made as early as 1958. The 1962 Federal Highway Act encouraged a comprehensive, continuing and coordinated metropolitan planning process (3C process) involving the state and local units of government. Eventually the process became a requirement to qualify for federal funds. Prior to the Council, this process was coordinated by the Minnesota Department of Highways and the Metropolitan Planning Commission. Since its creation in 1967, the Council became involved in the process. In 1973, the Council was designated by the governor as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to carry out regional transportation planning mandated by federal law.
The Council's role bas changed over the years. Initially, the Council was primarily responsible for long range planning and process coordination (i.e ensuring city, county and state participation). In 1974, the Council role in regional transit planning and oversight was expanded in the Metropolitan Reorganization Act (MRA). The Council was given authority to approve the transit capital budget and a five-year transit development program (the budget approval authority was taken away by the legislature starting in 1989). The Council was also given approval authority of accesscontrolled highway projects. The MRA also created a Transportation Advisory Board (TAB) as a forum for deliberation among state, regional and local elected officials. In 1984, the RTB was created to perform mid-and short-range transit planning and administer transit services under Council oversight. . In 1991, the federal Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) significantly expanded the role of metropolitan planning organizations, particularly in the area of setting priorities for federally funded projects. It also
emphasizes integration of land use and transportation planning, goods movements, economic efficiency and environmental protection. The ISTEA legislation provides significant funds (up to 80 percent of the planning costs) to go with the added responsibilities. The Council provides the 20 percent funding match.
Why Is the Council Involved
The regional transportation systems (i.e. highways, transit and airports) require large infrastructure,investments and significant operating and maintenance costs. The Council plays an important role in setting regional transportation investment priorities. Transportation also strongly interacts with the overall regional development patterns. The Council performs a critical role in ensuring metropolitan land use/transportation coordination.
The Council deals with transportation issues that go beyond local community borders. It also ensures 1that local governments and the region as a whole receive fair, consistent responses from federal and state funding agencies. The Council advocates regional needs to counter piecemeal actions.
The Council's plans, backed up by its own independent research, are the basis for project and program
implementation activities developed and implemented by Mn/DOT, RTB and the MAC. The Council sets regional
direction and policies to determine where major transportation facilities go, how to best manage those already in place, where to have transit, LRT or buses; and has a major role in determining major �rt needs. The Council helps develop transportation financing policies that are equitable, effective and efficient.
Impact on the Council's Purpose Statement
Transportation has economic, environmental and societal impacts. It provides many vital linkages that enable the
metropolitan area to function as a single unit and improve the productivity and competitivity of the regional economy. Transportation is, after housing, the second largest household expenditure. Transportation impacts the environment through energy consumption, storm water runoff and tailpipe emissions and noise. From a societal viewpoint, transportation meets basic needs such as access to work. home, schoo� business, recreation and healt_h
care. For instance, the average metropolitan resident makes £our trips/day on a typical weekday to meet those basic societal needs.
1.Is the issue still an issue?
SCREEN A: REGIONAL SCOPE
Transportation continues to be a major regional issue although its nature has changed somewhat since 1967. The
interstate system and most of the other metro freeways have been completed. Their maintenance and upkeep have
become a major issue. Land development patterns have been strongly influenced by the presence of these roads and
a high mobility levels between various parts of the region. Transit service has not evolved as quickly to serve a
bigger, low density region. The challenge today is to maintain these roads and existing mobility levels, to improve
transportation modes other than the single occupant automobile and to develop intermodal connections.
The Council has been involved in aviation planning since 1968. The nature of the issues here have not changed as
much as in land transportation. The Council's initial aviation work was looking a siting a new major airport (Ham
Lake) and this issue is still not resolved, as evidenced in the current dual track process which is looking at expansion
of MSP International or relocating the airport. The role of the reliever airports is also an issue that needs atention.
2.Is the issue or regional importance?
Transportation touches the life of most metropolitan residents on a daily basis and plays a critical role in the regional
economy. Almost twenty percent of the average American household income is spent on transportation products and
services. The transportation system interconnects the various portions of the region and permits them to function
as a single metropolitan area It also connects the region to the rest of the state, the country and the world.
The transportation system has played a very significant role in defining overall regional development patterns. The
influence of the transportation system on future land use and economic development policies continues to be a major
regional issue.
The size of regional transportation investments in an era of diminishing resources and increasing competition for
services makes setting regional transportation priorities another major regional issue.
Metropolitan residents need an advocate for regional needs to counter piecemeal actions. The Council is a regional
voice that deals with issues beyond local borders and sees they receive fair, consistent responses from federal and
state funding agencies. It also advocates for the region in the allocation of state transportation resources.
3.Does the issue cross locaJ government lines?
Major transportation issues tend to affect several local government units. Freeways cross city, county and state
boundaries. Transit is provided throughout the urbanized portions of the region, crossing many government
boundaries. Although airports may be located in only one municipality, since there are so few, they serve residents
and businesses of the entire region, state and western Wisconsin also. The external impacts of airports, such as noise,
also cross jurisdictional lines. Land use decisions by one government have transportation impacts on their neighbors.
4.Does this issue affect/concern equity within the region?
Balancing the roadway and transit needs of central city/downtown/suburbs, north versus south, east versus west, access
to/from outstate agricultural and tourism markets versus improving access that allows development to move out into
the rural area are all issues of transportation equity that the Council must continually consider.
S.Is regional financing/oversight required to ensure cost effective/efficient operations or service delivery?
The large magnitude of regional transportation investments and the diversity of implementing agencies and funding
sources makes it necessary to have a strong regional financial oversight, particularly of capital investments. This
oversight is needed to improve the efficiency of those investments to make the most out of limited resources and
to ensure that regional goals, objectives and policies are effectively implemented. These concepts have been strongly
reinforced in the new federal Inte�odal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. Under federal regulations,
each metropolitan area must have an agency designated as the "Metropolitan Planning Organization" in order for
the area to receive any federal transportation funds for transit, highways and other surface modes.
SCREEN B: IS TIIIS RELEVANT IN TIIE LONG RANGE PLANNING PICTURE?
1.Does the issue need to be addressed at regional level to assure implementation or the Regional Blueprint,
other Metropolitan Development Guide policies?
Transportation issues are the basis of two metropolitan development guide chapters, transportation and aviation. The issue is an integral component of the Regional Blueprint since transportation so strongly influences land use. Most development issues cannot be separated from transportation. Council's policies provide direction to Mn/DOT,
RTB and the MAC and are used to provide oversight and monitor adhe.rence to policy direction.
2.Is the issue a matter or regional public good?
Provision of roads has been a public good in Minnesota for over 100 years. There are no private roads for public use other than a few private toll bridges. Transit was almost abandoned by the private sector in the late 1960s with the demise of Twin City Lines and the creation of the Metropolitan Transit Commission. Today transit does cross public/private lines with some of the services provided by private companies. Air carriers and railroads are private sector companies. However, air carriers are dependent on public terminal facilities (airports) so this is an issue crossing public/private domains. With the ISTEA encouragement of intennodal cooperation, there may also be an increasing public role with railroads and other modes.
As discussed in previous sections, there are many state and federal mandates on the Council regarding transportation issues. If the Council did not fullfill those mandates, federal funds could be lost unless another regionwide comprehensive planning agency was created.
3.What are the potential regional impacts with or without action?
The lack of regional transportation planning could result in the fragmentation of the various components of the
metropolitan transportation systems (i.e highways, transit and airports). Multijurisdictional issues would not have an
adequate forum for discussion and resolution. Regional, state and federal resources would not be allocated with a metropolitan wide approach. An inadequate transportation system would have a negative impact on the regional and state economy.
�-What is tla: putt:nt!aJ impact on i111..astru1...._
The lack of regional transportation planning could have a significant impact on infrastructure investments, and on
land use and development patterns. The interrelationship between transportation and land use/development tends to be increasingly important
S.What is the potential impact on the following:
•Efficient and effective transportation services cannot be delivered without adequate planning.
•An efficient and effective transportation system is critical to the vitality of the regional economy
•Transportation impacts on the environment need to be mitigated
•Adequate transportation accessibility and services are very important to maintaining healthy communities.
6.Is the issue necessary for Council to maintain a comprehensive, long-range perspective and direction?
Yes, definitely.
METRO POLIT AN COUNCIL
Mears Park Centre, 230 East Fifth Street, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101
612 291-6359 TDD 612 291-0904
DATE: August 31, 1993
Committee of the Whole TO:
FROM: Role of the MUSA Group
Summary of MUSA Issues SUBJECT:
During August the Role of the MUSA Group has devoted its efforts to discussing and sorting out
what the members heard and saw during the MUSA tours and community meetings. Below is the
summary of those issues. They are organized under four categories and their relationship to land use:
economic, societal, environmentail and cost effective/efficient services.
•Economic
1.Intra-regional competition is an issue; development in one community can have ripple
effects on the economic vitality of other communities.
2.Unlevel playing field between older and developing communities; What should be the
relationship between development at the fringe and the health of the urban core?
3.Should development at the fringe be discouraged through disincentives to encourage
redevelopment within the urban service area?
4.Should new development pay for itself? Should new development help to pay for
redevelopment?
5.The long-term economic viability of agricultural land use in the region is an issue; is
agriculture a transitional land use until an area is needed for urban development or
is it a permanent land use to be protected from expansion of the urban area?
6.Planning for commercial and industrial development needs to be done in a more
comprehensive and regional manner than has been done to date. Several issues need
to be addressed:
linkage to housing for the workforce to be employed,
availability of transit service,
relationship to or effect on regional business centers (RBCs including the
Metro Center(s)).
1
•Societal
1.A range of housing types and prices in a community is imponant to meet:
the lifecycle needs of residents (young adults typically move into apanmems;
o1der, retirement-age people often prefer maintenance free places, such as
condos or apartments; divorced parents may not be able to keep their same
residence; households in their peak earning years often want move-up homes
with more amenities).
to house the workforce of businesses and industries located in the community
or surrounding areas.
to facilitate the linkage between home and place of employment, thus easing
congestion problems, heavy reliance on automobile for work trips and/or long
commutes.
2.Economic disincentives (tax consequences) to investment/maintenance in rental
housing; there is a need for propeny_ tax reform to bring rental propeny taxes in line
with taxes on homesteaded propeny (rental taxes are about three and a half times
higher). Lower tax rates would not only help make rental housing more affordable,
but would also help the cash flow of rental property owners who in many cases have
let buildings deteriorate in the last few years.
3.Given the variation in size of communities, housing markets within the region,
transponation/service corridors, should the distribution of affordable housing be
assessed at the subregional or community cluster level and not on a community-by
community basis? Should it be assessed in relationship to availability of jobs and
transponation linkages? In other words, should the goal be balanced, self-sufficient
sectors?
4.The concentration of poveny and "affordable" housing in the central cities is a major
regional issue. How should the region address the issue? Should the Council attempt
to achieve regional housing goals could be achieved through incentives or tradeoffs?
For instance, when a community or sector needs to have regional services extended
or major improvements/investments made (sewer interceptor, highway interchanges,
bridges, freeway lanes added), the Council and/or regional agencies could do it
contingent upon local plans, policies and management practices that show how the
community will meet regional housing goals --range of home types and prices,
housing rehabilitation programs, or any other major goal.
6 Aging of housing stock and need for and rehabilitation is an issue for central cities
as well as older suburban and freestanding communities. Maintenance of the
investment in the housing stock is important at the household level (maintenance of
equity), at the neighborhood level (to prevent neighborhood deterioration and
commercial disinvestment) and at the local government level (to maintain and
increase the property tax base for municipalities, counties, school districts).
2
7.To date fiscal disparities operates as a tool to redistribute revenues from new
commercial and industrial tax base. From time to time the idea of expanding fiscal
disparities to include new residential propeny has surfaced. The suggestion has been
to pool a ponion of the revenues to set up an incentive fund for the production of
affordable housing or housing rehabilitation.
•Environmental
1.There are many layers of environmental regulations and review agencies that have to
be dealt before a development project can occur (wetlands, shoreland, riverfront and
so on). Wetlands legislation is an example of "blanket" legislation that doesn't always
make sense when applied to urban development. Should environmental features and
protection be incorporated into the comprehensive planning process?
2.Should the three major rivers --Mississippi, Minnesota and St. Croix --in the region
be made focal points in the future shaping of the region?
3.There is a lack of integration of environmental planning with the development
process. For example, what role should surface and ground water quality play in
determining regional and local development patterns and decisions?
4.A number of communities, both fully developed and developing, have land uses that
have become obsolet_e. They range from small lots to sizeable acreage --railroad
yards and corridors, trucking terminals, auto recycling centers, tank farms/oil storage
facilities, mining pits, landfills and so on. Many of these sites have pollution problems
that need to be addressed before redevelopment/reuse can occur. The high cost of
environmental cleanup needed before much of that land can be redeveloped puts
these communities at a competitive disadvantage over communities that don't have
to deal with these cleanup problems and only develop on new land. This situation
calls for new redevelopment tools tqat would create a more level playing field.
•Cost Effective/Efficieat Services
1.This Metropolitan Area has developed at very low densities--it ranks 23 among the
25 largest metropolitan areas). Low density development patterns are associated with:
higher infrastructure costs (highways, sewers);
higher cost of transit service and difficulty in making transit work;
higher housing costs related to larger lots and thereby higher lot prices; and
loss of open space resources and agricultural land.
While major changes in region-wide density may not be possible since most of the
urban service area is already developed and the development pattern is largely set.
Should development policies guide future development, infill and redevelopment, to
take place at higher densities, where services already exist or are planned (highways,
transit nodes), and designed to preserve and enhance environmental features, such as
ponds, lakes, rivers?
3
2.Leapfrogging both outside of the seven counties (congestion of highway corridors)
and into the rural area (loss of agricultural land).
3.Public financial resources at all levels are limited. What is regional role? For
example, septic systems often have serious water contamination problems which will
put pressure on the local governments and eventually the region to extend central
sewer service to those subdivisions. If and when that is done, who should bear
responsibility for the cost? All citizens of the region, the local government, or the
affected homeowners?
4.Infrastructure costs; Should new development be linked to having necessary
infrastructure in place to serve it (schools, transponation, water supply, etc.)?
5.Impact of transportation on the urban form needs to consider the following points:
The form, location and size of urban settlements have been strongly
influenced by changes in transportation technology.
The highway network and the automobile have significantly influenced the
region's development pattern and locational decisions over the past 50 years.
Almost 600 miles of freeways and expressways have been built, creating a
ubiquitous transportation network that crisscrosses the entire region and
provides a very high level of accessibility.
This situation makes it very difficult to have a strong impact on the regional
development patterns with additional transportation investments. Individual
projects can have an important impact on local development.
However to have broader impact, transportation investments for highways or
transit need to be part of a longer term strategy that will eventually bring
about changes in regional accessibility (guiding future growth along
transportation corridors where major transit investments are going to be
made).
Guiding growth along selected transportation corridors does not necessarily
happen spontaneously. It requires strong private/public cooperation and
specific conditions such as:
land availability along the corridor;
removal of zoning and other development constraints;
overall favorable regional economic conditions;
financial incentives for developers;
community support and acceptance.
6.Should rural development occur in such a manner that it allows the "orderly"
expansion of the urban service area? Should a "greenbelt" (agricultural land, open
space, parks, forest land, bluffs, natural preserve) around the urban service area,
around freestanding growth centers, and/or between urban service area and
freestanding growth centers be established?
4
7.Too much of a dependence on sewers, and highways to a lessor degree, to coordinate
local and regional development and to guide investments; schools, jobs. transit,
housing affordability, and social services should be integral parts of regional/local
planning and coordination. Should expansion of urban services be made contingent
on local governments or clusters of communities meeting other regional goals (such
as housing goals, environmental protection, transit supponive urban design/land use
pattern)?
8.The complexity of development issues and right size of an area needed to effectively
deal with the issue often cross political boundaries and need to be dealt with in a
larger context than the municipal level. What is the best geographic area to
effectively implement programs and to provide the resources to pay for the programs?
9.Extreme difficulty in locating LULUs (locally unwanted land uses) (landfills, airports.
affordable housing) in the region. How should urban-related "service activity centers"
in the rural area be treated? These include uses such as the proposed new
metropolitan airport, landfills, etc. · that are a direct result of urban life but are
LULU's" and cannot easily be located or expanded inside the urban service area?
10.Conflicts between local community needs/aspirations (adequate land available for
residential development) and regional goals/issues.
11.Regional parks act as physical barrier to residential development and divide
communities.
12.The difficulty caused by "blanket" or "one-size-fits-all" approaches to problems fails
to recognize legitimate differences and need for flexible "outcome" based solutions
(use performance based criteria instead of specific standards).
13.How should the Council deal with rural enclaves --basically suburban places within
the urban service area (Sunfish Lake, North Oaks, Dellwood) --that do not want
central sewer service nor other urban scale services?
14.Many communmes have planned and zoned large acreages for future commercial
industrial (C/1) development. In aggregate the region has at least a 50-year+ C/I land
supply. Many communities have reserved sewer capacity and, to some degree
transportation capacity, for this land .. Some communities with large amounts of vacant
C/1 land need more residential land, should some of the vacant C/1 land be reallocated
for residential development?

REDEVELOPl\lENT AND REINVESTMENT ISSUE GROUP
A REGIONAL REDEVELOPMENT/REINVESTMENT STRATEGY
Working Draft 8-27-93
Based on the information gathered by the Redevelopment and Reinvestment Issue Group, there
appear to be some basic principles and objectives that can fonn the basis of a regional
redevelopment and reinvestment strategy.
The intent of this strategy is to outline a broad, comprehensive approach to redevelopment It
would be carried out by the Council in partnership with other organizations and governmental
levels.
PRINCIPLES
A.Recognize that the region functions as one economy that transcends political boundaries
of cities, counties, school districts. Cities within the metro area competing against each
other can work to the detriment of the region. Acknowledge and work with marketplace
forces for the benefit of the region as a whole.
B.Emphasize new thinking and fresh perspectives, to adapt to current realities and
opportunities. Slaughter 'sacred cows' if necessary.
C.Recognize that any strategy to strengthen and reinvest in the region's older areas to
achieve healthy communities must be holistic. This means addressing physical, economic
and social aspects in an integrative way, capitalizing on individual neighborhoods'/cities'
assets, and identifying their respective needs, objectives and needed resources.
D.Use and build upon successes as a foundation for redevelopment. Don't 'reinvent the
wheel' for every redevelopme!1t challenge.
E.Acknowledge that change is inevitable and can be managed in a positive way for
neighborhoods and cities. Maintain what is viable but don't fix what's obsolete.
F.Recognize and address underlying conditions--e.g. poverty, racism, economic disparities,
limited public resources, the barriers of political boundaries. Recognize that these
disparities can be products or adverse consequences of development and growth patterns.
G.Promote collaboration, not confrontation among public, private and nonprofit sectors, so
that each sector can understand the other's needs and constraints.
OBJECTIVES:
A.Target financial resources by geographic area and·use/type, for greatest benefit and to
'level the playing field.' For example, permit continued use of tax-increment financing with
more specific citeria for its use, and accountability requirements.
B.Reclaim and adapt neighborhoods to retain and attract residents. Recognize that theregion will inevitably have all kinds of neighborhoods, but that healthy neighborhoods arethose in which residents feel safe and confident in the area's future as a viable place to
live, and that offer parks, playgrounds, shopping and other services.
C.Identify redevelopment opportunities and objectives consistent with community goalsand market realities. Promote information-sharing among communities aboutsuccessful redevelopment models and methods. Identify adaptable models and maketechnical assistance available to implement them; promote a climate of cooperationwhereby public, private sector and nonprofit actors work toward common goals.
D.Address the issue of poverty concentrations, both in the areas of concentration and inproviding opportunities or access to opportunities--housing, employment, training--outsideof those areas.
E.Balance expansion of urban infrastructure investments with reinvestment needs .

SUMMARY OF IDEAS FROM 8-11-93 FORUM
WAYS TO REDEVELOP AND REINVEST IN THE REGION'S OLDER AREAS
The ideas for redeveloping and reinvesting in the region are organi zed under five main objectives.
Ideas from all four small group discussions at the forum are summarized for each objective.
OBJECI1VE A. TARGETING FINANCIAL RESOURCES
Suggestions for funding sources/mechanisms/purposes:
•A redesigned tax-increment financing program.
•Fund for polluted land cleanup in distressed areas
-e.g. surtax on sale of hydrocarbons (materials commonly the cause of soil
pollution) to create a large fund to be distributed to local governments to clean uppolluted soils and create developable sites ..
•Regional reinvestment fund-sources:-metro surcharge on all new development to contribute toredevelopment of commercial/industrial and residential areas.
-Expanded tax base for revenue-sh aring (fiscal disparities) -
parking space tax
-road access charge
-suggested uses:-pollution clean-up ( as above)
-remove blighted property and replace it with housing to
meet current unmet needs.
-employee training and retrain· .1g
-clearance for commercial/industrial redevelopment.
-continue and increase funding for housing rehabilitation
and new construction.
•Increase and target state funding for schools, using concentration of poverty,
AFDC/compensatory aid in state school aid formula.
•Property tax break to property owners for cleaning up polluted land used for
redevelopment.
•Make venture capital available for business expansion in older areas, usually at the point
of business expansion.
Suggestions for how to target:
-identify dusters of cities/areas without regard to municipal boundaries, and based on
identified criteria.-target to most distressed areas
-ensure that aid is geographically balanced
-targeting should consider the degree to which financial resources are already distributed;
some communities gain property tax revenues, others lose in fiscal disparities, local
government aids vary. -include a local effort component or match.
Other suggestions:
-streamline the process to distribute funds for cleanup; shorten response time.
OBJECTIVE B. RECLAIM AND ADAPT NEIGHBORHOODS
Funding
Several participants mentioned targeting of funding in this category, too. These ideas are included above. E.g. funding for additional housing, ownership and rental.
In addition: -Establish a trust fund to guarantee equity in owner-occupied housing, targeted tocentral city neighborhoods.
-Offer financial incentives to retain and attract small businesses
-Create a fund through a luxury sales tax on houses over $200,000 in value, to
write down mortgage interest rates to a maximum of 3 percent writedown ( onepercent in selected cities, one percent in selected neighborhoods, one percent for
selected houses that need attention).
Making Neighborhoods Places That Attract People
•Ensure that there are parks and playgrounds, shops, green space, parking, other amenities.
Good Planning at Neighborhood Level
•Ensure proximity to shopping, day care, schools, family resource faci�ities, health care,
youth and elderly recreation.
Neighborhood Involvement to Improve Neighborhoods
•Allow neighborhood residents and business interests to allocate resources in accordance
with their priorities and needs (URAP model).
•Develop incentives which promote community-oriented policing (or similar strategies)
focusing on crime prevention in high-crime areas.
•Create opportunities for youth to help organize/ work with organizers to create
neighborhood crime watch groups, block clubs, etc.
2
Prevention/Early Intervention
•Enforce existing building and health codes to prevent existing structures from
deteriorating.
Schools
•Allow for establishment of neighborhood schools. Council should play a convening role in
accomplishing this.
•Keep quality of schools high.
OBJECTIVE C. REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNmES AND OBJECTIVES
•Identify redevelopment opportunities and objectives and agressively market them. A sub
idea of this was to persuade Chambers of Commerce to create a metropolitan infonnation
and promotional exchange, like that used in Denver, that cooperates to present all
possibilities in all municipalities to prospective businesses in the area.
•Seek out and study successful redevelopment projects. Share this information with cities,
learn from it. Perhaps they can be replicated.
•Develop criteria for when cleaning up polluted land should be a regional responsibility,
rather than a local responsibility.
•Disband all local HRAs in favor of creating one region-wide HRA and redevelopment
agency.
•Regionalize all infrastructure, including solid waste. water management, transportation
management, K-14 schools. Objective is to reduce the overall taxation and financing
necessary to operate these systems.
•Eliminate county and city government; go to a regional and village system.
OBJECTIVE D. ADDRESS CONCENTRATIONS OF POVER1Y
•Provide affordable housing in suburban locations for workers employed there:
-programs to assist construction of affordable housing
-reduce regulatory barriers
-expand use of tax-increment financing for housing.
-Provide information about affordable housing options in the suburbs to low-
income residents.
-reduce housing discrimination.
3
•Improve access to suburban employment from the low-income neighborhoods.
-reverse-commute programs
-create better/different public transit routes; employment center as hub and spoke
system.
•Create jobs in low-income areas
-nuture entrepreneurship and make capital available for small minority-owned and
managed businesses.
-create programs that allow employers to pay less wages to hire people that need
training and work experience.
•Promote diversity in neighborhoods to reduce poverty concentrations.
•Support the Orfield legislation.
•Co-locate housing and services, e.g. employment training, job placement.
•Invest heavily in programs that support families
•Increased access to all schools. Eliminate independent school districts in favor of one tax
base for all metro area schools.
OBJECTIVE E. BALANCE EXPANSION OF URBAN AREA WITH REDEVELOPMENT
GOALS
•Establish a green belt one to three miles wide (like _Oregon's) at the edge of the MUSA
•Allow no further MUSA expansion until existing service area is fully developed.
•Make MUSA expansions a metro issue requiring a master plan change rather than only a
local amendment, e.g. amendments to expand the MUSA to provide affordable housing.
.., i.�--..iin and maintain the aJvant::.ges hclJ by the ukler arc;..;;, e.g. g.:iud ai:.ces.,, historical
significance, mature trees, etc.
•Make development pay its full share of the cost for infrastructure and services, at present
and in the future.

Draft: August 30, 1993
Proposed Regional Economic Development Strategies
Issue Group #3 proposes the following outHne of issues, directions and general strategies as our
contribution to the new Regional Blueprint. We start out with a general vision of how the public
sector can best promote economic development Within this context, we identify six specific goals,
each of which bas measurable outcomes. These goals are consistent with the state's economic
development agenda and emphasize the importance of the metropolitan area in the overall state
economy. Finally, we propose five general strategies for achieving these goals. During the month
of September, our group will develop specific implementation proposals for these strategies and
bring them to the full Council for your discussion.
Vision:
The region should have a business environment that stimulates business creation, innovation,
expansion and retention. The region's economic future is based on a vital, market-driven private
sector. Government's role in this future is to invest in foundations which the economy needs in
order to grow, adapt and compete-foundations such as an educated workforce; infrastructure
which serves current and future business needs; a stable, equitable tax system; and a well balanced
regulatory system.
Goals:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Sustained, above-average economic growth, that is consistent with environmental
protection.
Internationally competitive levels of productivity growth.
Family incomes adequate to provide a re:isonable sumdard or living.
Cnpital investment in the region to ensure economic renewal and competitiveness.
Improved employment and economic opportunity for all citizens in the region.
A diversified industry mix to insulate the regional economy from shocks and national
business cycles.
Strategies:
Promote a regional economy that is more competitive in national and international markets -
building on the idea that we are one region/one economy .
•Promote economic development at the grass roots level.
•Chip away at business climate issues -both tax and regulatory.
•Examine ways to share regionally the benefits of economic development.
Draft: August 30, 1993
Provide high quality, cost effective infnistructure.
•
•
•
•
Integrate infrastructure planning (regional CIP).
Prioritize infrastructure investments with an eye to economic needs.
Identify and provide for future •new" infrastructure needs.
Maintain and replace essential infrastructure.
Concentrate educational efforts on improving the quality of the region's labor force.
•
•
Facilitate businesses and educators working together to meet the training needs of a
changing job market and a changing labor force and/or adapting to changes in technology.
Initiate collaborative approaches to ensu1re that a person with education/training enters the
job market --including transportation initiatives, work readiness programs, daycare, etc.
Target public fundinwsubsidy efforts to get the most value out of public investments -initial
targets should include:
•
•
•
•
•
"Demanding" populations .
Areas with severely declining properly values.
Areas in "transition."
Areas needing environmental clean-up.
Reinvestment in aging infrastructure.
Develop broad regional economic goals and monitor progress.
•See attached memo op State's goals.

SustJ.ined economic growth above the national average, which is consistent with
environmencal protection, is the cornerstone of an improved standard of living for all
Minnesotans. 'Nhile an individual's standard of living is Jffecced by many factars.
improved income that is generated t�ro·ugh economic growth and full-time job growth
is essential. In addition. Minnesota's economic growth is increasingly influenced by
our ability to compete in incem;tional markelS. The li!vel of international exports of
Minnesota products is :i good indicator of the scace·s international competitiveness.
Goal 1 indicators show increasing levels of per capita Gross Scace Product (GSP)
growth: full-time employment, manufacturing job growth :ind Minnesou share of U.S.
exports including value-.idded food products. For environmental protection goals

DISCUSSION
The ultimo.te goo.I for econo,nic development is a good standard of living for o.11
Minnesoc:ins now and in the future. Income adequate to meet basic needs and provide
a comfortable lifestyle is essential to an improved standard of living. As a result, Goal
3 calls for incomes that can provide for a reasonable standard of living for all
Minnesocn.ns. Goal 3 is achieved through the employment growth, GSP growth and
productivity growth describ�d in Goals 1 and 2.

compt:tition, Minnesota needs ro renew its economy constantly in order to mai nuin
economic strength, produce new products and services, provide new tools and
equipment. increase producrivicy and creare rhe jobs of the future.
The three measures used co assess Minnesoc::i.'s capital investment in the state are:
inv estment per manufacturing worker, investment in commercial and industrial
constn1crion, and imermnional investment.

SUBJECT: HEALTH CARE CLINIC, SISTERS OF ST. JOSEPH
DATE: SEPTEMBER 8, 1993
The neighborhood health care clinic proposed in Fridley will open September 30th. The group is in the process of recruiting Doctors, Nurses and support staff for the clinic. It appears the group has formed a strong collaborative with Anoka County, Fridley S-chool District and Unity Hospital. All three grdu.ps had representatives at the meeting last night.
Steward Laird of Carondelet Life Care is very interested in meeting with us to discuss the possibility of a similar clinic in Columbia Heights. In order to establish a clinic here we must provide the clinic space. Please let me know if you are interested in meeting with Mr. Laird. I will be glad to set up th� meeting.

EMMANUEL/ST. MARY'S HEALTH CLINIC Focus Group Meeting August 17, 1993
The first meeting of the Focus Group of Emmanuel/St. Mary's Health Clinic was held at Emmanuel Christian Center, 7777 University Avenue N.E., Fridley, at 7:00 p.m. on August 17th. The following membersattended:
Corwin Bradford, ABC Newspapers Barbara Lee Carlson, City Council -Spring Lake Park Shirley Denyes, Ministry to Women (Emmanuel Christian Center) Mark Denyes, Senior Pastor, Emmanuel Rosemary Esler Carol Frey, City of Columbia Heights Cynthia Hendricks, ACCAP Senior Programs Bethany Jones Craig Malm, Unity/Mercy Hospitals Karen Packer Mary Sandmann, Emmanuel Cathey Weidmann, ACCAP Senior Outreach Sister Mary Madonna Ashton, Carondelet LifeCare Ministries Mary Lou Dynan, Carondelet LifeCare Ministries Stewart Laird, Carondelet LifeCare Ministries
Pastor Mark Denyes gave the opening prayer. Sister Mary Madonna Ashton gave a brief history of the Sisters of St. Joseph, Carondelet LifeCare Ministries and St. Mary's Health Clinics.
Stewart Laird discussed the development of a clinic in suburban Anoka County, and that we had been invited by the Emmanuel Christian Center to establ.ish a clinic at this location. The Emmanuel Christian Center is willing to donate space for a clinic. Mr. Laird explained that the purpose of the Focus Group was to discuss the medical need of this area, the time and day of the week for the clinic operation, the suggested methods of gaining trust, how we can recruit volunteers from the area to work in the clinic and other groups that should be included in developing this plan.
After a short break the Focus Group divided into two sections to discuss the items outlined by Mr. Laird.
Need for Clinic. In the reporting session of the two groups the consensus was that there is a need for a clinic that provides care for people who "fall through the cracks" of our present health·care system, people who are with low income and without health benefits. Most of those people seek health care on a crisis basis through the emergency room of local hospitals. There is al so a need for immunizations, STD and HIV screening, teen health, women and families in crisis, and transportation to the clinic.
Emmanuel/St. Mary's Clinic Focus Group Meeting August 17, 1993 Page 2
The time of operation and day of the week received a varied response. There was a consensus that Wednesdays and Fridays are not good days to run a clinic. Mondays seem to be the best day, with the hours 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. or 4:00 -to 8:00 p.m. Further studies will be done on operating hours and day of week.
Gaining trust in advertising the clinic's availability. The group felt that using the ACCAP Newsletter, the ABC Newspapers, Fridley Focus, the school nurses, church organizations, service clubs, flyers and neighborhood meetings would be the most effective.
On recruiting volunteers. The group felt contact should be made with the Unity Hospital Medical staff, the Blaine/Fridley Senior Center, use of church bulletins. Some specific individuals names were mentioned: Ed Spinney, Dt. Nyarian, Marlene Jezierski, Barbara Schnacht, Relta McGanns, Amy Lacey, dietician, Bob Spark, mental health. Also, volunteers could be developed to provide parenting and cooking classes.
Other people or organizations to be involved. The committee felt that the Community Block Grants should be investigated for future funding of the clinics (CDBG Funds). All municipalities in Anoka County have those discretionary grants and the municipalities should be contacted in January of each year for support. Other organizations not previously mentioned were: Blaine JC's, VFW, Fridley Lions and contacting school nurses in Anoka County. Several names were mentioned as people who should be included in the Focus Group. Those mentioned are currently on the mailing list.
Future Planning. Carondelet LifeCare will do further research on the suggestions that were made tonight by the committee members, and will talk to existing providers of health care. We would be prepared to start a clinic during the week of September 27 if the plans develop on schedule.
Next Meeting: The next meeting of the focus Group will be September 7 at 7:00 p.m., at Emmanuel Christian Center.
Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
