Chalnmaa Erickaoa taid that thls was part of Che yiewcon proposal and
tEq City had askad permissipa to put up the aiga at the East entrance to
�iidley, The City pttorney told him that a State law zequires either cooenercial
or induatrial zoning for a billboard.
Mr. Clark said that oAe of Che s4�pulatlops of the agreement with Viewcon
waa that [hey woul,d allow the City to install or construct a billboard or ad-
ve=tisiag sign at Chis genera]. location. When the City applied for a billboard
permit, 1t was diacovered that the Law required either commericial or industrial
zouing, If the C�ty waaCe this billboard, we will have to rezone. The size
of the piece of ground involved �s 10 x 30 square feet. The sign will be 10 fee[
by 14 feet. What Che City is askiag for is e�ething similar [o the "Welcome
to Pridley" Signs on Univeraity Avenue, where the sign is "Welcome to Fridley"
coming into the City aud a messa$e on the other aide fo'r those leaving the City.
Mr. Redmand aaid that there has been a road constructed from Noreh Innsbruck
Dr1ve to che site of [he aign. The road will be kept open and accessible st a11
times by his company, It vill be as close to the freeway as the law permi�s.
There is the possibiLiCy some of the trees will have co be remo'ved for visibilic�
or the sign. Viewcon wi,ll lease the West side of the sign for a period of cim�•.
Mr. Schmedek� said that he haa objected to aigns of this nature for vears.
In this case, aT� we juat goiag Chrough the motlons of what has been agree¢ co.
Mt. Clark aa�wered that it �s in the origiaal a8reement with Viewcon [o
allow the City Co conatruct an advertising siga and probably was the stipu�ation
of Council. Thesp are the mOtions that have te be gone through if the adver�isin3
alga ia to be coa;tructed. He did no[ know how the Council will react. The
parcel of ground to he rezoned iy only 300 square feet, This is smaller than
a cammercial lot. Billboasds are �upposed [q be 500 feet from residentia�
psoparty. This sign would not meet that requirement.
Mz. Redmond said Naegele x�.11 build khe billboard. Viewcon has an agreement
aith NaegelG to Leaae the pign wi.th the first right of refusal for subsequent
yesxa. They also hava an agreemeat that Naegele vill not leaee that sign wnile
they are 1a tha atea, The piacement of the sign is oa the aecond h111 West fzom
811var Lake Aoad. They were aot iq favor of removing trees because iC is costly

We caaaot farce the telephone company to buy your property ac this �ime or any
othnr time. Attpther thi.ag you brought up, you would rather see people buy a
large piece of psopeFty. Acqordiag to the Code, eommercial property has to be

Telepho4a Ccm�pany should buy out the whole blpck. This is something that no
one can do. Zf he actually made thia staGement he was in error. He continued
that he knew !he Picha'c, whp live on 2� Street. He was out of town for two
months whe❑ chis came before his coumittee. }Ia wan,[ed to suggest that the
optfnn br in wrl�ing,
Mi. DokKen said the Piciia property vas the Last property that went intc
' the site. There are two lo[� owned by Picha uader option. He did no[ kno�.�
Che value of the buildings, and they would have to be wrecked. This wouid be
ecoaomically unsound. They dre interested in additional propzrty aroun� cr.�
, building, b,c ehay would much xather wait �n buying until soa�e time chac some
qf the values oE the bu'Lldiags are lost.
' Mz, Mc6ee s�id that thaC was the answer, They were going Co oa ,��.=ra i0
ar 80 �ears, He ehought it cras withia the Planning CoQmission's power r.,t [o
grant the alley yacation aad the bullding,
3D
, Mr. Dokken couptared with [he seatement that a[rangely enough, s�ne of
the property.ownars say this wiLl increase the value of their prope:ty. There a:e
three property owaere who concur io the petitlon, •
Mr. Dokken continued thqc in the 14 lots they have enough propercy co cake
c.are of Fridley's telephone qeeds indefinitely, However, iC is a si.mpie cas:
of a long period of tiu�e. Assuming they put the buildiug there, they chink it
would be besc to pick up add�tional nroperty whea i[ trecomes availabla. Thev
mlgh[ need additioual properKy for another function. For thaC reason, �;e;�
have gone to Messrs, Ecker, Williams and Gabel and sald thay think some oa;
they mighc be iatet'ested in buy�ng their property. They do not have any need
for it at the pxesent t1me, but if and when these people ahould decide to se11,
tha[ they give them a chanse,
Chairman Ericksoa told the audience [hat they haye to recognize first of
all Chat the block is ;oned commercial. Supposing they bought the buildings
at the South end, Chey at;ll could put the building where they wanted i[.
Earl Nurdvich, a c�.tizeq, aaked if Mr, Dokken would say that purchasir.g che
center of the Alock would lacrea�e or decxease the value of the two apartment
buildiags and Mr. Jeasen's �ome,
Mr. Dokken apawered that 1t would incre�ae the value. There is some
' vacant prap�rky poorly malnt�-laed. The Telery�hone Company proaoses to put
a bui,ldla$ up whlch will be �+ell landacaped �tnd well malntained. There wi11
be ao nol.ae or tr8ffic, Se coulda'c imaglae that the compauyr'would adversely
8lfect the yalue p# the preaeat 6uildings, It was not unusbai for the telephone
, officq to be in a reaidential area but thia ona happena to 6e commercial.

Dear Mayor Liebl:
II
In-depth atudies of population growth and population distribution patterns
as they apply to Minnesqta, and particularly to the Twin City metropoli±on
area, and the foreshadow o# forces at work and thetr resultant impact in
land usaqe in the �netropOlitan area, makes it imperative that T`�e Depart-
ment oP Milltary Affairs, State oF Minnesota, look to the future and
establieh plans for tha relocation of some National Guard units from the
Mlnneapolia downtown armory to the auburban communities. The reason
foc this letter at thie time is to acquaint the City of Fridley, its government
leedeTB and your Currept arid future planninq groups, that the Minnesota
Army National Guard 1s interested in establishing National Guard units in
communities clagd to, or ed)acent to, Minneapolis, and if a city is interested
in a plational Guard unit, cousideration in city land use planning should be
exercised nqw for the future loeation of an armory.
A poliay of �ecen�rallzation �f unita has been`in effect for a number of years
and has bee accpmpliehed in St. Paul. Our long range decentralization
plan for Min eapplis wiil require flve (S) new locations outside of Minne-
ayolis proper, with new armories being constructed in five (5) suburban
communities ,
If tha National Guard ie to eatabllsh a unit in a community, the corr;munity
mu6t want a Natipnal C3uacd unit, and it must be of sufficient size to enable
recruitment af sufficlent stretlgth to man the unit, The Guard being az 311
valun:eor force wjth :nlaslon respons�b�lities ':� bo!h t�:e State and Nation,
Tesult8 in a joint respan9lbility to be shared in by the Federal, State and

The Honorable Frank G. Liebl

It i& cequested that the City Council of Fridley discuss and evaluate their
desirea as ta whether or not they would be interested in establishing a
Fridley Natipnal Guard unit with the time perlod 5- 10 years from now.
If they desire more inform8tion on its purpose, mission, and how the Guard
ie administered and manaqed, to include the construction of an armory,
representatives af this office will be happy to meet with you and the City
Council to discuss the subject and answer your questions.

Enclosed are ten copies of the Actuarial Valuation of the Fridley
Firemen's Retirement Plan as of December 31, 1971,
We used the 1971 anniversary because the financial statements which
' were provided were as of that date. However, we included costs for the
five new members of the Department even though they did not officially enEer
until February 1, 197Z,
You also mentioned that the widow who was receiving benefits had re-
married in August oE 1972, and thus herbenefit ceased as of that date. Since
this date is eight months away from the valuation date, we have not taken
this event into account in making the valuation. On page 6 of the report, you
will note that there is a reserve of $13, 139 for the Widow's Benefit under the
heading of Inactive Members. The effect of her remarriage would be to
eliminate this item from the reserve, but I presume that she received pay-
ments for eight months for a total of about $413. Therefore, the net effect
of her remarriage would be to remove about $12, 726 from the Deficit. The
annual contribution for retiring $12, 726 over a period of 17 years is $938,
In snmmary, then, in reviewing all cost figures, you can deduct about $938
from all total cost figures and from all cost figures relative to the Volunteers.
I am also enclosing ten copies of a groap of sheets giving you cost
figures on the various proposals outlined in your letter of November 15, 1972,
In arranging these sheets oE cost estimates, I tried to put thezn in the order of
the priorities which you gave me over the phone. These cost summaries are

GEOEGE V. STENNES AND AS$OCIATE$
Mr. Robert D. Aldrich - 2 December 21, 1972
presented in the format used in the report at the bottom of page 7 in which we
ha.ve a separation of the costs into the separate costs for the Professiona.l
Firefighters, the Volunteers and the total costfigures.
The first page shows the estimate of the costs if the minimum age is
changed from age 55 to age 50 with the minimum service period being kept at
20 years. The suminary at the top of the page shows the result of making this
change only for the Volunteers and retaining the minimum age of 55 for the
Profesaional Firefighters. Naturally, the cost figures Eor the latter group are
the same as those shown for the same group on page 7 of the report. The cost
figures at the bottom of the first page show the effect of changing the minimum
age for all men in the Department. In both of these sets of figures, we have
used the present schedule of benefits, and the only change is in the requiremeni
as to minimum age.
8a
The second sheet gives the cost estimates if you introduce the escalation
feature described in the last paragraph on page 1 of your letter. In order to
estimate the effect of such a provision, it is necessary to make some assump-
tion as to the way benefits will change after the member has retired. In pre-
paring these cost estimates, we have assumed that the benefit will increase 3%
each year; that is, if a member is receiving $100 per month in a given year, his
benefit during the next year will be $103, during the next succeeding year $106.09,
during the next year $109.27, etc. The set of cost estimates at the top of the
page is based upon the assumption that the present eligibility requirement will not
be changed. The set at the bottom of the page changes the minimum age to 50 for
all participants,
The third, fourth and fifth paragraphs of your list of changes describe
some improvements in the benefits for the Volunteers. It would have taken con-
siderable additiona,l work and therefore would have caused you substantial extra
expense if we had followed these specifications exactly. The increase in the re-
tirement benefit from $100 to $120 per month is an increase of 20°jo. A change
from a$45 benefit to a$54 beneEit is Iikewise a change of 20%. Therefore, we
have obtained cost estimates for an increase in each of these benefits of 20%,
Since you propose an additional credit of $3. 00 for each year of service in excess
of 20, the first set of figures involves a slight overstatement of cost because a
20°fo increase in this increment would mean an increment of $3.60. Likewise,
an increase from the present $54 to $63 is an increase of one-sixth rather than
20°ja which means that there is also a slight overstatement of cost involved in the
second and third sets of estima.tes on the third page if one were to follow your
speciEications exactly. I thought you would prefer to have something close to
what you have proposed rather than going to substantial additional expense to
produce costs for exactly your proposal.

' After I started dictating this letter, I suddenly noted that we had over-

items are duplicated and ready to be mailed, we will go ahead and send out

' making an estimate of the cost of this item until you have had a chance to
digest the numerous items which are enclosed. After that, if you still want
us to go ahead and estimate the cost of this second item, please call me and

D. DiSCiTSSION OF RESULTS
The valuation was made by a method known as the entry age normal cost
method. Under this method, the aormal cost is determined based on the age
at hire of each member. This normal cost is the annual deposit required
(using the assumptions outlined in Section B above) to pay for the cost of each
member's prospective benefita over the period from his date of hire to his date
of setirement.
The elements of norznal cosE foz this piaa are:
TYpe of Benefit
Service Retirement Benefit
Permanent Disability Benefit
Funeral Benefit
Withdrawal Benefit
iNidow's Benefit
Orphan's Benefit
Temporary Disability Benefit
Total Normal CosL

When a retirement piaa is fully fuaded, the fund contains an amount equal
to the accumulation (under the actuariai assuinptions made) of the normal cost
for each member from his date af hire to the date of the valuation. This accu-
mulation is called the accrued liability or the required reserve. The cost of the
temporary disability benefit was caiculated on a one-year term basis. As
recomxnended in the previous valuation, the accumulation of the normal cost
for this benefit is carried as a reserve for any yeare in which benefits exceed
normal coat.
The elementa of accrued liability for this plan are:
Type of Benefit
Active Members
Service Retirement Benefit
Pertnaaent Disability Benefit
Funeral Benefit
Withdrawal Benefit
Widow's Benefit
Orphan�s Benefit
Temporary Disability Benefit
Accrued Liability

A retirement plan which is fully funded requires future contributions no
larger than the sum of the normal cost of all active members to pay for the
prospective benefits (if the assumptions made are realized exactly). To the
extent that normal costs have not been paid in the past, a plan is not fully
funded. The amount by which the plan is short of full funding is cailed the un-
funded accrued liability oE the fund. In other words, the unfunded accrued
liability is t�e excess of the accrued liability over the actual assets of the fund.
The amount of annual contribution which would be required to pay each
year's normai cost and eliminate the deficit in 17 years is the "Total Annual
Payment" ehown in Section C of this report.
The deficit in the fund will increase unleas at least 3% interest on the
deficit is paid each year in addition to the norrnal cost. The sum of these Ywo
amounts should be regarded as the minimum annual contribution to the fund
in order to keep the deficit at its preseirt siae. This "Minimum Contribution"
is ahown in Section C of this report,
The following chart shows a separation of cost figures between the paid
EireEighters and the volunteera, The allocation of the assets of the fund has
been made by reasonable appraximations. The normal cost for the paid fire-
fightera has been determined as a level percentage oE increasing future payroll,
The annual contribution toward the deficit has been determined as a Ievel num-
ber of dollars and then expreased as a percentage oE the current covered
payroll of $56, 200.

Fundamental changes in the Public Employment Re3ations Act of 1971 now
are being considered by the Minnesota Legislature. The specific bill,
x.F. 295 (S.F. 365), is supported strongly by the AF'L-CIC and other labor
groups. A public hearing was neld February 6th at which time Burke Rayiaond,
Village Manager of Roseville, oPfered the reraarks printed below in testi-
mo� to the Aouse Labor Management Relations Committee (Stan Enebo, chair-
man). About 20 othe: local governnent officials spoice as well in opposition
to H.F. 295• Attached is a camplete list of the Senate and House Laber
co�ittee memberships. You may wish to contact individual members and

in cottsiderable detail, we have come to the conclusion that taken as a whole
' it would bring about all of these adversr results. In fact, we view it as
a genuinely revolutionary piece of legislation vhich, if enacted, would
literally change our democratic form oP local government as we have known it.
' This is a rather broad statement which I do not make rashly. Therefore, I
would like to cite the speciPic reasons and the sections of the bill to sup-
port this conclusion. However, before doing so, I Would like to sketch out
' briefly what we believe to be the basic purpose o£ legislation governing labor
relations in the public sector. In our view, the purpose of such legislation
is to balance the interests and the rights af the employees, on the one hand,
� and the public (i.e., the public employers) on the other, in a way which will
encourage the settlement of differences and disputes through the collective
bargaining process. If this balance is not maintained and the process be-
, comes heavily biased in favor of either one of the parties, then the law will
have the effect of impeding and undercutting the collective bargaining process
rather than facilitating it. We also beZieve there are unique circumstances
' present in our governmental system that are not present in the private sector
which demand that great care be exercised in order to maintain the proper
balattce between these interests. For ezample, public employee unions are
becoming increasingly active in the political process and this provides them
' with effective means of making their vierrs known quite apart from those avenues
provided in the law.
� If H.F. 295 were enacted into law in its present form, it would result in four
very serious consequences which I would like to comment on in some detail.
, 1. It would sreatly enhance the raw bar�ainina power of public unions. First
of all, it would substantially increase the tactical tools which they could
employ to gain concessions on both econoaic and non-economic issues. For
example, Sections 5 and 6 ot' H.F. 295 would authorize a public employee union
� composed of non-essential employees to strike if: (1) the public employer
reflised to comply with the provisions of a valid decision of an srbitrator;
(2) the public employer refused to request bfnding arbitration when requested
' by the exclusive representative; or (3) vhen mediation services have been
exhausted and an impasse is reached. In other words, once the mediation
services have been exhausted, the union eould either legally call. a strike
, or coerce the public employer into requesting binding arbitration, whichever
course of action would produce ihe greatest concessions, and neither the public
employer nor the general public would have any effective'recourse.
' Another example is Section 16, Subdivision 3> which by deleting clauses 12 and
13 would permit secondary boycotts. This means an employee union could close
down any governmental operation - a hospital, an electric power plant, or a
' water or secrage treatment plant - merely by setting ap a picicet line which was
observed by other unions, and thereby preventing the delivery of goods or
services.
'
'
,
Second, H.F. 2g5 would greatly expan� union influence on the level of taxing
and spending and the use of financial resaurces which are now the nrerogative
of local governing bodies. Section 16, Sub3. 2, adds a clause (11) which mskes
it an unfair labor practice for the emoloyer to refuse "..to provide... sll
information pertaining to the public etaplayer's budget both present and pro-
posed, revenues and other financing infor.�a.tion." This section taken together
'
1
-3-
/a ✓ .I
with Section 21, subd. 2, which states "'...public employers are hereby author-
, ized to levy taxes or borrow such fluids as are necessary to implement arbitra-
tion awards..." means that all of the spending priorities of any governmental
jurisdiction wouid be placed on the bargaining table. F�rthermore, in order
to comply with an arbitration award, the local government involved would
' either have to exceed the statutory levy limit and take the required financial
penalty or curtail other programs or expenditures. These sections would ef-
fectively negate Chapter 179.66, subdivision l, which specifically states
, that "A public employer is not required to meet and negotiate on matters of
inherent management policy, which include...the fhnetions and programs of the
employer, (and) its overail budget..."
'
�
'
'
'
Third, H.F. 295 would nake it possible for minority unions to be designated
as the exclusive representative and would tend to perpetuate a union in power
once it received recognition. Section 1, Subd. 6, permits an exclusive repre-
sentative to be desi�nated by a majority of those voting in an election rather
than requiring an affirmative vote b3� a majority of all those in the bargain-
ing unit as is required by the present lac�. Thus, in the event of a small
turnout in a representation election, a union representing considerably less
than a majority of the total employees in the unit might be recognized as the
exclusive bargaining representative. Furthermore, once such recognition is
granted, Section 7, Subd. 2, provides that except for teachers, "..all
employees who are not members of the exclusive representative may be requiredc
by said representative to contribute a fair share fee for services rendered
by the exclusive representative, and the employer...shall be obliged to check
off ssid fee from the earnings of the employee and transmit the same to the
exclusive representative,"
' Fourth, H.F. 295 Would allow unions to exercise considerable control over
governmental operations which have traditionally been the management preroga-
tives of the elected governing bodies and the sanagement staff. Seciion 4,
, Subd. 18, would amend the definition of the term "terms and conditions of
employment" by deleting the specific lazrguage in the present statute which
excludes matters of inherent managerial policy from the bargaining process.
' This would open up all policy matters that have any impact on the employees
to bargaining and binding arbitration.

operations. First, local governnents wou13 have very few,JifVany, key�staff
personnel tiiat would be excluded from union bargaining units. For example,
Section 2, Subd. 8, redefines "confidential employee" in such a way that
only employees who actively participate in labor negotiations on behalf of
the public employer would be excluded from the bargaining unit. And Section 3,
Subd. 9, and Section 23, Subd. 3, taken together redefine "Supervisory employee"
in such restrictive terms that not more than about 50 of the 854 municipalities
in Minnesota have even one supervisory employee. This is because under the
present statutes, charters and civil service s,vstems very few employees personal-
ly have legal authority to hire, transfer, suspend, promote, discharge, assign,
reward or discipline otner employees or direct them or adjust their grievances.
Yet according to Section 23, Subd. 3, the director of inediation services would
have to find that the employee had authority to do a majority of these functions
in order to be excluded from the bargaining uait as a supervisory employee.

Finally, Section 9, Subd. 6 requires the public employer to extend exclusive
recognition to an organization of supervisory and confidential employees for
the purpose of negotiating terms or conditions of employment. This means
that under the terms of this bill there would be absolutely no public employee
who would not potentially fall within a bargaining unit.
Second, public employers would lose effective supervisory control over those
of their employees who are elected officers or appointed representatives of
the exclusive representative. Section 12, Subd. 10 requires public employers
to grant unlimited time off with pay to these union officials for the purpose
of conducting the duties of the exclusive representative and must also provide
them with leaves of absence upon request.
Third, a public employer's ability to obtain relief for any unfair labor prac-
tices committed by any employee or union is substantially limited by Section 32
which repeals the authority of district courts to issue temporary and permanent
restraining orders or injunctions and to assess other penalties under the Act.
Fourth, the sections cited above which permit strikes and binding arbitration
at the discretion of the exclusive representative, once mediation has been
exhausted and an impasse remains, obviously severely limits the public employer's
ability to control both taxes and eacpenditures. Ftiu-thermore, by broadening the
scope of bargaining to include what have historically been management preroga-
tives and by permitting unions to initiate secondary boycotts as a coercive
device, the public employer's ability to manage its affairs is severely re-
stricted.
3• Then enactment of this bill would undermine the collective bar ainin ro-
tcess. The availability of binding arbitration vould be a powerful disincentive
o employee unions to negotiate in good faith. This is particularly true since
Section 22, Subd. 4, and Section 24, Subd. 6, provide that the public employer
will pay all expenses and costs involved in arbitration. Indeed, it would be
difficult to imagine a set of circun:stances vhere it would not be to the unions
advantage to obtain all the concessions possible at the bargaining table and
then Porce the issue to binding arbitration.
In addition, since the exclusive representative would have at its disposal
several coercive tactics including the secondary boycott, there would be a
constant tenptation to use them as an alternative to engaging in serious negoti-
ations.
Finally, the repeal of the provision in the present law which permits joint
negotiations among public employers and exclusive representatives would forc�
the termination of one of the more innovative and sur�essful exp?riments in
collective bargaining in blinnesota which has received national recognition.
Under Chapter 179.71, Subd. 4, negotiations have been conducted between Local
�9 of the International Union of Operating Engineers and a number of suburban
municipalities. A similar pattern of joint negotiations is slcwly emergin�
with Local 320 of the Te�sters Union which represent.s the police officers ir.
several suburban municipalities. 1he ratior.ale for repealing this provision
and thus forcing the discentinuation of these joint negoti.ations is not clear.

' sentative. Individual employees who did not support eitherLLofVtwocunions
involved in a runoff election, would lose their ability to participate in
such an election. This situation arises as a direct result of the provision
' of this bill that would have exclusive representatives designated by a
majority of those voting in a representation election rather than a major-
ity oP the total employees in the unit as provided in the present law.
' Individual employees would also lose the right to request and be allowed
dues checkoff for the organization of their choice, if there is an exclusive
representative. Section 8, Subd. 5, provides that the right to request and
, be allowed dues checkoff is limited to the exclusive representative Where
there is or.e.

'
Except for teachers, individual employees would be forced to contribute a
"fair share fee" to the exclusive representative, even though they are not
members and may in fact be opposed to the organization. The reason for ex-
cluding teachers Prom this provision is not apparent.
Although I have not attempted to cover all of the provisions of H.F. 295,
I think the citations above are sufficient to demonstrate that this bill
would indeed have a profound effect upon the bargaining power of public
employee unions,upon the viability of our governmental system, upon the
rights of individual employees, and upon the collective bargaining process.
In fact, several o: its provisions go well beyond anything that is presently
found in the statutes of either the federal government or the state of
Minnesota governing collec+ive bargaining in the private sector. Therefore,
to ca11 H.F. 2g5 a revolutionary proposal is not inappropriate.
fiowever, I would suggest that no case has been made for any such revolution-
ary approacn to labor-management relations in the public sector. The present
law has been in effect scarcely seven months. Many of its provisions have
not been tested. While the present law is by no means perfect, any amend-
ments should be considered in a meticulous and exacting nanner. Therefore,
we respectfully suggest that H.F. 2g5, together with ar�y other bills which
would amend the Public Employment Labor Relations Act of 1971, be reier:ed
to a subcommittee of this committee for the carefui and thoughtful review
they deserve.

RE: VILLAGE OF NEW BRIGHTON VS. METROPOLITAN WUNCIL ET AL
The Mounds View Village Council has requested that the communities
that have previously expressed an interest in the matter of the Village
of New Brighton attempting to have their trunk sanitary sewer acquired
as a metropolitan intereceptor, be notified that legal action against
the Metropolitan Council and Metropolitan Sewer Board has been insti-
tuted by New Brighton to gain a declaratory judgement in their favor.
The hi�unds View Village Council feels that our interest in this matter
can best be protected by intervention and would like to know if there
is any support £or their position.
Richard rfeyers, Mounds View Village Attorney, estimates that
legal expenses wi11 be between $S,GGC.00 and $12,OOO.GO and are too
prohibitive to fa11 on only hicunds View. Mr. Meyers has reviewed
the summons and complaint, spoken with the attorney for the Metropolitan
Courci:, and sent a letter (enclosedl to the Village Council which
supports a joint in=ervention in this matter.
If your Council supports intervention or has any questions in
this matter, please repi�• either to r.ryself or Nr. >Sey�rs.

' I have reviewed the summons and complaint relative to the
above captioned matter. The Village of New Brighton seeks by
means of a declaratory judgment action to have the court overrule
the Pietropolitan Council's decis�on not to acauire a i�ew Brignton
' interceptor on the grounds that such action was unreasonable,
arbitrary, discriminatory, unlawful and void.
, As you know tne Village of �ieio Brighton constructed an
interceptor that lies whoZly within said Village, and which
services sewer cor.nections o�ithin the Village as well as certai.n
, portions o£ tne neiahborina vill-aae of Arden Hills. Because said
interceptor does service some area outside of its village limi*s
the Village of New Brighton requested the :fletropolitan Council
' to declare the interceptor a metropolitan interceptor �•�nich would
then be purcnased by tne ti'tropolitan Council and charged back
against tiie co*nmunities lying witnin Service District -'- 2. mhe
figure most commonly used is tiiat vew Brighton would receive

Certain communities indicated at the time that the Metropolitan
Council made its decision t`rzat they were not in favor of this take-over
and there are a number of factual and legal questions that will have
to be resolved by the Court before a final determination is made.
There is no question that the idetropolitan Council will defend
its actions and that it will be represented by competent legal counsel.
However, it was asked as to whether or not there would be any value
for the individual communities within Service District 2 to intervene
in the law suit to protect their individual interests.
Although the Metropolitan Council will undoubtedly enter a
vigorous defense in this matter, if a decision that is favorable to
the Village of New Brighton is rendered, the ultimate costs would
be passed on to the communities in Service District 2 and would not
be absorbed by the Metropoli.tan Council or the entire metropolitan
area. This factor together with the fact that there may be legal
relationships between various communities prior to the Metropolitan
Council take-over that may be relevant to this case plus other facts
that may or may not be generally available to counsel for the
Metropolitan Council would indicate that intervention in this law suit
may be in the best interests of the communities within Service District
2. Tne Rules of Civil Procedure provide the method for intervention.
Although I believe that intervention would be valuable, desirable
not only on behalf of the communities but on behalf of the bletropolitan
Council, I do not believe t:�at one or two cosmunities should carry
the burden of this litigation. This undertaking should be carried
forward on a joint effort by all or a substantial amount of tne
communities within Service District 2 for several reasons:
(1} The Court would be impressed by the unanimity of action
by tne Service District 2 communities in opposing the take-over.
(2) Tne expenses of tne litigation would be su£fic�.ently
spread among the commur.ities so that the cost thereof would
not constitute a burden on any one comt-nunity.
I have consulted with the attorney for the Aletropolitan Council
' and he indicates ti:at interve.tion by a substantial number of the
Service District 2 communities would be of value to the �•Ietroaolitan
Council's position in this case and that he would welcome this aid.

Therefore, although I am of the opinion that intervention would
be desirable in this particular law suit, I do not believe that this
should be done unless a substantial amount of the communities in
Service District 2 participate on a joint efforts basis to present
a united front and spread the expenses that will be i purred.

b, Ths Council ahall bear the burden of damonstrating Chat aubject areas
considezad in sach revieWS are directly related.
The Leagua"s philosophy wae that ihe Council does and shonld exist, but that
e�cperiance to date pointa to needed changee. A metropolitan�ide organization can
prov�.des a more comprehmelvn piature of the �tire area than can any one local unit
of government. Tha a�alysis ot �clstipg trende, the study of new or changed policiea,
and recommsndatione for alternat3v� directiona can be acaompliahed� and can serve as
a batis fas aotlo�, The provfding of euch infom�ation 1e a valuable function of the
Council and ia consietenC with tho goal of planninA assiatance.
Thsre ia a netural tendancy of any oxganization to seek more authority. Aowever
vell iatended, or rrall motivated� iocreaeed authoritq to operate must be axtended
only by the legislature a£ter thorough inveatigation and hearings. The reason is
•lmple. 'Larger uaite of goyerpment mean lesa reeponaive government to the individual
aitizan. Thesefose, the balance between efficienay, or economice, or coordination,
or wlutever the goal, and responsiveaesa must be weighed carefully, The Cauncii must
be respontible primarily to tha people through their local units of government. The
League beliavas that electioa will i�sure responaive membere; but it also reeognizes
tha diftieulty encountered by elEizene ac large when faoed with extremaly long
ballaCS, Aa example of this dl.ffieuitq is the electLon of judges, The league
khetefpre £eals thet Che most appropriate is election by city and viilage Conncils,
'fhare ia an unquestioped relationahip betvsen certain aapaets of davelopmenC;
for uxample, the extension of utilitles, the location of nev highvays, and the
availability of tran�it haa an abvioua effect on new population ceneers, The
interdepeadency of aome aepests of growth may, hovever, be qusstionable, In
eamm ca�es there may be no relatlpnship or depeqdency. Tha League believea it
1a a proper and neseasary funcG�.on of the Hetropolitsn Council to anaiyze +and
oomment upon the ralatloaship of a partieular gxset application to other areas
pf devalopmnnt. •
However the League belisvee that vhere i� 1s a qusstionable relationehip between
a$rant appllcatlon and o[her areas of development, or desirable goels, th�
borden of proof ahould lie with the Council to demonstrate that there is, Qr
ahopld be, a relet;lon�hip, Tn additiono conefetent w�.th that balief, the League
iurthsr believee that whaTe thera is aboolutelq no xelationship between the
grant appllcatlon and othar exsas of development or aocial goals, tha atatus of
•uah oiher developmant ot aocial goals should not be coneidered in determining
tha advisabllity pf the g;ant.

Mayqr Llebl asked the �Ity En9i�eer ff thera had been some change in the
State Code. The Cfty Engineer said yes, the new regutations state that signs
must be constructed on lhdystrial or commercial property. Mr. Schmedeke said
bafore the new regulations were passed, the �Ity would have been able to con-
struct the sign without rezoning, The City Engineer agreed, this wouid have
beon possible in the past.
Mr. R. B. Redmond, 6208 70 Avenue N. Minneapolis, 55429� 5tated he was repre-
senting the developer, Viewcon, and he was awara of the �hange in the state
regulation. He said they would like to construct this slgn, and Viewcon had
agread with Naegele to use one side of the sign to advertise. He sa(d the
slgn would bo perpendi4ular to the freeway and he questboned whether it would
throw any additfonal nofse to the south side of the freeway,
Councilman Starwalt asked if the people in the area within 300 feet of the
sign had been notified of Che Public Hearing. The City Engineer said all those
within the 300 foot of the proposed property had bean notified.
A member of the audience who said she was a resident of the area asked how many
, people were notified. Mayor Liebl said there was only one owner on one side,
and tha[ Is Viewcon. He added on the other s(de is the freeway, l 69�}, he added
he did not believe there were any other prople 1nvolved. The resident repeated
� her question and asked if any one lived within the 300 foot area? Mayor Liebl
asked the Gity Engineer how many people live within the 300 foot area and how
many people were notiffed? The City Engineer said there are homes on the south
5fda of the freeway that are within 300 feet of the proposed sign. He said
, there were a total of flve people on the south side of the freeway and the
dav�toper and his bank, Tha City Engineer read the names of those notified.
Mr. Geor�a Pagnucco, 1$29 Berne Rd „ Frldley, Sa(d he believed there were
othar considerations in this matter, He said the area people had purchased
land because of the wooded view, the construction of the sign would datract
from thls view and bring down the �alue of thefr pcoperty. He stated there
is a�ready one sign in the area, Mayor I,ieb1 said the reason for the hearing
was to determine ff there were any objectio�s to the construction of a sign

Mr. l. A. Muggli, 3228 Dupont Ava. S., M(nneapolis, said he Was involved fn
the matter as he owned soma land at the end of the block. Mr. Mugglf asked
Councilman Utter if he was aware that one of the homes in the block did not
have a basement. Mrs. Jensen said Mr, MugClj was talking about their
home, Mr, Muggll )isted a number of objects that are currently occu-
pying the alley such as garbage cans, trailers, and a disposal bunker. He
said the alley is not ppen now. He stated he had friends in the area who had
no obj�ction to the entire aj�ey beiny closed, but those who are obJecting to
tRe clostng of the alley are the ones who have it clqsed at the present time.
Mr. Muggli said he had made three trips through the area in the past few days,
and assured the Council that there is no open alley.
Mayor Lfebl asked Mr. Muggll If he was ln favor of the vacation? Mr. Muggli
said he was in favor of vacating the entire alley,r�ot just one portion,
leaving two short sections of ajley.
The City Engfneer said the only portion of the alley being used is that por-
tlon that is used for the apartment access to the parking lot the rest of the
alley is completely closad, fenced, and impassible. Mr. Muggli asked if it
was closed legally? Mayor Liebl said it is platted or City property, and it
is not closed. He asked Mr. Muggli if he was opposed to the vacation of the
alley owned by the Telephone Company, Mr, Muggll sald he was not opposed.
Mr. Alan Jensen, said he would like to clarify what Mr. Muggli was talking
about. He said •he did not believe the Telephone Company should construct
a bullding in the middle of the block. He bel(eved they should start at one
end or another. He said ha would not be opppsad if they built on the end of
the block. He said the plan would leave them two alternatives. One; $ell '
thelr property as commerclal; and two, to sell as residential, He 5aid they
have no guarantee that they can sell for residential 6ecause Lhey do not know
ff they can finance through FHA or GI In a commercial area for a residential
properzy.
He aa(d he is faced wlth a problem, hfs home may become too small for his
family, should he sell or axpand? Mr. Jensen said he could not afford to sell
the home at a loss or with zero profit only because he is 6oxed in by comner-
cial development. He added, two of the property owners in the area have been
approached by Northwastern 8�11 and the Telephona Company has options to buy
the(r land. Another home owner has been approached and has been asked to con-
sider sellfng to them If they do decide to sell. Ha said he hoped the C�ty
would not allow anyone to get squeezed in at the end of th� block. He said
lt may and up to be two apartments and one home at the end of the block.

Councilman Utter stressed that some people may not like the ponding areas.
He mentioned a man he knew that put in his oom sawer and the City aseessed
him for it. He asked if thia would be done in thia area eventually.
The City Engineer said it would be difficult for one Council to foreaee
what another Council is going to do.
Mayor L1eb1 asked if the ponding portion of the area was zoned R-3 or
R-17 The City Engineer pointed the areas out on a map showing the ponding
areas as bainq in both types of zoning.
Courtcilman Starwalt streased the need to inform the people of the concept
being used and if they want a change ten years from now, what it would
involve. Councilman sreider said the lake ie in existance at the present
time. He asked the City Engineer if there are any lots abutting the lake
at the present time. The City Engineer said there were.
Mayor Liebl liated the various aeses�nent charges for each individual in
the area, statinq they may pay as much as $2,600.00. He said if the
City would assess them again in five yeare, there would be trouble.
Councilman Breider said the people in the area would be aware of the
ponding and would want to purchase land in auch an area. He said if they
do enjoy this type of area they would have to keep the aewer aystem as it is
now being planned. He added, thia is what the people oE the area want.
Councllman Starwalt said aome people have very short memoriea and they may
forget sometime in the future that thie was not a fu11 system. Councilman
Breider asked Councilman Starwalt if he was in favor of a closed storm
aeWer eystem. Councilman Starwalt said no.
The City Enqineer said all the sales officea ehow the.pondinq areas. An
individual could not come back and aay he did not like the area, as it
is shown this way on all the mape.
A reprasentative from Viewcon eaid there ie a$1,200.00 to $1,500.00
;premium on the lota which abut the ponding areas. Mayor L1eb1 said
�the City had isaued a building permit to the developer and the area
jehould be developed and there ehould be an a8equate amount of money set
{aeide Por the project. After the developer has completed his work
'in the area, said Mayor Liebl, he will move on and the City will bear
�the brunt of the problem, The Viewcon Representative said the single
£amily lots are without aeeesements becausa thay do not know the amount
of the assesament and the money wae put into eacrow.
CounciJ.man Nee asked the poseibi�lity of New Srig�ton some day being
responsible to the City of Frldl�ey. He said, co�ld it be determined that
one area would be in one part of the eystem a»d �nother in another area.
The City Engineer sald the City did have aome reeponsibllity to New
Brighton. He added, it would be poeaible to call part of the syatem lateral
and some of it as main interception.

The City Engineer said the plow may be used for digging, minoz excavation,
alley anow plowinq, the clearing of drainage ditches, and the plowing
of parking areas. The City Enqineer said Austy &ilseth and Les Chesney
had signed a canmunication statinq their viewa on the proposed plow.
'Phe City Enqineer said Mr. S1laeth as well as the street foreman were
present.
Mayor Liebl said, the City must plow the sidewalka as they have agreed to do
so. He asked Mr. Silseth if the proposed plow was track driven? Mr.
Silseth said it was on a rubber track. Mr. Sileeth said with light
equipment, they can plow through the month of December without much
difficulty. He added, ,7anuary through the end of the winter month is
the problem'time. Mr. Silseth said there is no place to put the accumulated
snow. He added, the propoaed plow is no miracle machine, if the snow were
four feet high, it would not do the job either. He added, he believed with
a normal snow fall, this would be a good machine.
Councilman Utter said he would lilce to add a few more worde. xe said he
had talked with Mr. Chesney, and Mr. Chesney had indicated the plow to
be too expensive. Councilman Utter said that for the past two years
the City had contracted the anow removal from the sidewalks for $G00.00 per
year. He said for two years, the project had cost only $500.00, and he
could not see puttinq $9,000.00 into thls machine. He said the life
expectancy.of the plow was expected to be ten to fifteen years.
Councilman Utter asked which of the ctatements in the communication
' were made by Mr. Chesney? He said it was unpoasible to determine which
of the men were for the proposal and which was opposed. He said their
are two siqnatures and many statements.

The City Manager said a set amount had been budqeted for a snow plow
for the purpose of clearing the sidewalka. At this time, he added, the
estimates were inaccurate and there has,been a coat eacalation. The
City Manager said the $6,000.00 in the budget was not what the public
works director had in mind to purchase a plow. He added, the job could not
be done as it is presently being done. He said, the public works department
would like to coanplete the job adequately in the least possible time. He
added, the present job ia not what they would like to see continue, if
the Council believes it is adequate, there would be no need to purchase
srly equipment.
Counciltnan Breider asked what was to be done with the high bankc of
snow? Mr, olson said they did have a Cub that operates at the top
speed of five miles per hour and it ia not able to plow the snow at this
rate of speed. He added, this speed can be obtained on dry pavement,
not while plowing. He said, the proposed Bombardier will operate up
to 25 miles per hour enablinq it to move tha snow farther from the
aidewalks and the banka will not build up so high. With a faster m�chine,
he said, the snow can be thrown off the plow. '
' Councilman Starwalt asked where the seven miles oi aidewalk were.locatad
and qtleptioned how it caneabout that the City is responsible for the
plowinq of the si�lewalkq7 �'he City Engineer said the City had worked

Mayor Liebl called on Mr, Mike 0'Bannon to presant his proposal to the Council.
Mr. 0'Bannon addressed the �ouncil saying he had met with the City Manager and
the City �ngineer the previous week and had presented his proposal to them at
that tinie, He said, his proposai was to dedicate property to the City, as
park land in lieu of storm sewer assessments.
Mr. 0'Bannon said he had been told that the assessments in his second addition
would be approximately $$00.00 per 1ot and they had previously �iiswssed assess-
ments of $300.00 for the lots in Innsbruck. He said, he did not think he was
bejng treated equally,
' Mr. 0'Bannon explained the area to be about two and a half acres with a big
catch hole basin. He said, there were about seven lots included in the area
and most of those lots are worth approximately $3,000.00 before the utilities
' installation. He said the total amount of the area would be about $21,000.00
and he was willing to deed the land to the �ity in lieu of future storm sewer
assessments in the area, plus the City paying him $S,OOO.00 for the property.
' Mayor Liebl said he be�ieved the Second Ward Councilman should take a look
at the area, He asked, as this procedure has not been followed in the past,
how could the �ity not assess for a storm sewer7 Mr, p'gannon suggested
' ajlowing him an $800.00 credit per lot. Mayor Liebl said he did not know if
the City could do this. Mayor Liebl asked if it would be possible for Mr,
0'Bannon to give the Ci[y land for money?
'
'
'
'
,
7he City Engineer said the storm sewer in the �nnsbruck North development was
partially constructed by Viewcon, this is the reason for the assessments being
lower. Mr. 0'Bannon said he lives in Marion Hills, and he was asses5ed $100.00
for a storm sewer, and along came Columbia Heights and put in a dam, and fie
was assessed twice, Mr. 0'Bannon added, there is no project designation in
this area, he said, he was only asking for some consideration.
Mayor Liebl said he would like the Ward Councflman to look at the land. He
sa7d, he did not believe they could settle the ftem that evening.

Councilman Starwalt asked where the seven lots were. Mr. 0'Bannon and the
members of the Council discussed the location of the lots at the map. Mr. 0'Bannon
said he would give the City two and a half acres and a 25 foot easeme�t for a
road. Ha added, this area would make a very nice neighborhood park.
Councilrr�an Starwalt asked Mr, 0'Bannon what work was to be started the follow-
ing Monday that would force the Council to approve or deny the proposal before
that time. Mr. 0'Bannon said there was no work to be done on the proposed area,
he added, he wanted to do some work on the other areas before the road restric-
tions were in force.
Mayor Liebl said he had no obJections to the plan, but feared setting a preci-
dent. He asked if the City would be required to mainta(n the area, and Mr.
0'Bannon said yes, this is why he had proposed giving the City an access. Mayor
Liebl asked what other elements would have to be consldered in the draining.
Mr. 0'Bannon said there is a possibility the drainage area could be filled by
silting.
The City Engineer said if the City was thinking of having a ponding system to
take care of the drainage, this plan would take care of the surround(ng area.
He said, any property that would be drained into the pond would not be part
of the overall assessed project. The pond will take care of the drainage
and there would be no future project in that area, he added, He said, then the
individuals in the area would only be assessed the difference.
Mayor Liebl suggested a letter be drawn up protecting the Clty so the developer
or property owners will not make demands in the future, The City Attorney
agreed, there should be a detailed list of obligations between the City and the
property owners. Mr. 0'Bannon suggested the easements be placed in the agree-
ment. The City Attorney asked Mr. 0'gannon if on closing he would deliver
warrantee of deeds? Mr. 0'Bannon said yes.
Councilman Utter said there is no road into the area at the present time, Mr.
' 0'Bannon said he would put a road into the area and bulidoze that portion of
the land at the same time a�lowing the City access. He added, he could not
develop the road until the Chies property is developed.

Mayor Liebl asked if the City would be left holding the bag after the land is �
developed. He added, what guarantee would the C�ty have that the people would @
not demand a storm sewer project? He asked, if it were possible to incorporate f
this into the agreementl
Councilman Utter asked if the drainage area is visidle to [he entire area?
Mr, 0'Bannon said it can only be seen from one lot. Councilman Utter asked
how the ch(Idren would get 'rnto the park area? Would they have to go through
someone else's property, he questioned.
Councilman Starwalt suggested Mr. 0'Bannon outline fn detail what the proposals
on the plan wou)d be in wrlting and as soon as possible, rye said he did not
believe he was prepared to act,on the proposal at the present time,
