That one district consist of Coiumbia Heights, Fridley and Spring Lake Park, they being the most southerly from the court house. That an ��tCIU sub-division be es- tablished at Fridley Police Department, this being the most central o�F those three jurisdictions. Thzs southern sub-district to bz staffed with 4 fu11-time MCIU �nvestigators and 7 part-time or liaison investigator. That one district consist of Blaine and Coon Rapids Poiice Departments, these municipalities being more centraliy located. I'm not sure if a sub-dlvision, i.e. office space wou�d be necessary, but that in any event 3 fu11-tir�e investigators and 1 part-time liaison investigator would be assigned that dlstrict. Anoka PQlice Department would still only be assigned 1 investigator due to its proximity to the court house. 7he following areas �vould sti11 be assigned 1 investigator each, i) Lino Lakes, Lexington & Circle Pines, 2) Andover, Ramsey, Oak Grove and - �Burns, 3j Ham �ake, Bethel, East Bethe7, Linwood, St. Francis and Columbus: , � � . . . . _. _.

Th�y wi17 be assigned an inside -- position at the court house to handle the daily paper worF involved in getting the '-` people that t�ave been put in jail charged within the prescribed time limit. Example: A man charged with burglary is arrested in Fridley during the night. The "B" shift investigator responds to the call and does the necessary work that~night. The next morning that case would be given to either Larkin or Struck to prepare for the formal signing of the complaint. If there was work needed on it, statements taken, witnesses interviewed, etc. before the complaint could be issued, it would be up to the MCIt1 investigator assigned that case ta follow up on those and have them transported to �he MCIU offices for the use of Struck or Larkin. The compla�nts will then all be signed by the in-house people even though the final preparation of the case wi71 still be �he responsibi�ity of the investigator ass�gned to it. Court appearances, bail hearings, etc. will all be taken care ofi by the in-house crew. The transportation of reports will be done by the iiaison investigator. He w911 also be present at any briefing sessions held at any sub-district office. '" , i � . . . , - .•. 'A1] MCIU personnel will attend the 8:30 AM briefing here at our office as in the past.

These wiil be given, as usual, during our 8:30 AM br:iefing. Copies of all other felonies that have occurred will either be gone over � by Investigator Schnagl and a representative of the local department to determine which ones warrant further investigation,`ar they wi11 be sent on up here where I will make that determination.

I have reviewed the program carefully, and feel that we shouid get invaived in the pro�ram, and submit a request for a�proximately 10 units. These funds will be used to buy lots and construc�t ne�•r single family homes in the 3, 4 and 5 bedr•oom range for i:he purpose of re��ting to low and moderate income families. There is a defini�e need for un-its to house larger families and tvould be consistent t��ith our thr�e year housing assistance plan.

Metropolitan Council , �~ Housing and Redevelopment Authority � �, �uite 300 Metro Square Building, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101 METRO H?�A FAMILY HOU�ING PROGRAP4 What Is The Metro HRA Family Housing Program? The Metro HRA Family Housing Program is a rental housing program to provide new housing units for large, lower income families. Owner- ship, management, and maintenance of the units is the responsibility of the Metro HRA. The housing units consist of 3, 4, and 5 bedroom single-family homes, duplexes or townhouses located�on scattered lots in several Metropolitan communities. • Construction and long term financing is provided by the federal government through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), while the operating and maintenance costs are paid by the Metro HRA with rents received from the residents of the housing. The cooperation and participation of local communities is necessary in selecting sites, choosing the appropriate ty�e of housing, �roviding necessary municipal services, and in monitoring the program management. Eligible families must have four or�more members and have income less than 80 percent of the median income in the Metropolitan Area. Why Is A Metro HRA Familv Housing Program Needed? The Family Housing Program is proposed to help neet current and pro- jected needs for large family subsidized units in the P�etro Area. Although the Section 8 Existing program has served some of the housing needs of the r7etro A_rea, it has not been able to provide larger units (3, 4 and 5 bedroom} for those families who are eligible. As of January l, the rsetro HRA waiting list sho�as 639 fam�lies eligible for 3, 4 and 5 bedroom units. This number does nat in- clude those already holding certificates but unable to locate tlze larger units they require. Private developers are often un�rilling to produce these units for rent because of high construction, opera- tion, and maintenance costs, and a correspondingly low profit margin. Public agency involvement is necessary to overcome these restraints and to ease the gap between eligible families needing larger units and the current supply of rental housing. Why Should A Cor.imunitv Participate? The Family Housing Program will increase the hou�ing stock or the community, help it to achieve its housing goals for Iower income families, and broaden the range of family income in the community. The housing units, which wi11 be scattered site hemes for Iarger families, will be designed to be comnatible wi�h the surrounding neighborhood. The Family Housing Program is designed to fit each community's re- sources and needs, taking into consideration land avaiiability, costs and housing type preference. ., -2- � } Community involvement in all phases of the Family Housing Program, Y fram`planning and design through the aperation of the development is encouraged by Metro HRA. Application processing, development, and management of the program will be handled by the Metro �RA, increasing efficiency and reducing administra�ive costs. The community will receive a payment in lieu of taxes from the Metro HRA based upon ren�s collected from the residents of the Family Housing Program. What Will Be The Fiscal Impact On The Community?, The community can assume that the develonment wil� result in an in- crease of students and incame for the school district in ��hich they reside. Tn 1978-79 the basic state aid to schools will be 51,090 per pupil unit. (One elementary school child = one per pupil unit. One secondary school child = 1.4 per pupil unit.) Each per punil unit also carries $75 in capital funds. Since the units will all be family units, we can assume an average of at least 2 children per housing unit will be added to the school district. The community's payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) will equal lOs of rents collected from the Family Hausing Program. Property will be exempt from local property taxes. Payment in lieu of taxes will, of course, be less than potential taxes on a comparable development. For example: A Metro HRA Family Housing Program of �hree, four and fiv� bedroom units would have average rents of $158.00 per month. PILOT would be: $15.86 $190. 32 per unit per month--10� average manthly rent or per unit annually--10� average annual rent of of For example, taxes on comparable $45,OOC development in � would be ___ This type and size of development would have no measurable imnact on Municipal Aid to the community. V�hat taill Be The Nature Of Community Involvem�nt In The r�etro HRA Family Housina Program? The Metro HRA suggests that every comznunity particinating �.n the Family Housing Program consi,der designating an advisory body of some type to guide the development, construction and operation of the arogram in accordance with current lacal orocedures. The °3- ,� " desigr�ated committee could be one in existence, such as an HRA or Pi�izen's Advisory Committee for CDBG, or a specially organized g_r-oup specifically charged with following the Family Housing Pro- gr-am. Some suggested areas in which an advisory group�would be ' , �.�voived are: it Develo ment A. Agreement upon number of units B. Procurement of cooperation agreement C. Help develop specific criteria for cammunity's special needs. ��. Construction of Housing A. Help in evaluating of developer proposals B. Be involved in site selection C. Serve as tacilitator for any zoning changes required ��. Operation of Program A. Monitor the management of units B. Be a vehicle for residerats of Family Housing Program to participate in community e, Serve as a l.iaison between Metro HRA and communi ty i�ow Wil1. Metro HRA Mar.acxe And Maintain The Family Housa.n� Units? N�etro f�RA is clearly the agency responsible for the quality of manage- �e�� in the Family Housing Program and will provide the best manage- �� a�d maintenance performance possible. Options range from total rnar�agement and maintenance by Metro HRA personnel, to a sharing of �ta,r�a.c�e�ent tasks with local communities, to a contractual arrangement W-��h private maintenance firms for management purposes. The manage- r�er�� decision will be based upon which strat�gy provides the best overall management, main�enance, and control by Metro HRA. Wh.ile the responsibility for good management lies ultimately with Met.ro HRA, it is hoped that the community group advising Metro will be a ga��ner in management thrcugh their awareness of community standards ax�.d aba.li�y ta alleviate potential conflicts.

MOORE LAKE RESTORAT:LON STUDY SNTERIT4 REPORT MARCH 23, 1978 Introduction Preliminary investigations of Moore Lake have be,en completed and limnological problems and solutions have been identif ied. This interim report briefly identif ies these problems and presents possible alternatives for further evaluation. This brief outline � is not intended to give a complete description of each alternative with its positive and negative effects. It is a.ntended as a means o� communication between E.A. Hickok and Associates and the City of Fridley so that thz Lake Resotration Grant Application will fulf iIl the desires of the City. Further investigation into each specif ic alternative will continue to facilitate a timely completion oi the Moore Lake Restoration Grant Application. Background Moore Lake can be characterized as a shallow eutrophic lake in an urban environment. The lake has one outlet in the west basin and � is maintained primarily by storm water runotf, The lake is bisected by U.S. Highway 65 and the two basins are connected by a culvert. The two basins are very different in geometry, ecology and public use. The west portion of the lake is approximately 63 acres in size with a mean depth of 2 feet. In the summer months dense weed growth and -1- � ,� Eugene A. Nickok and Associates, Inc. . � algal b?ooms have been noted. Most of the original shoreline was a. floating bog as late as the 1950's and the bottom of most of the west basin is organic muck. The shoreline development is primarily residential but also includes a 10 acre park. The west basin is presently not suitable for whole body contact recreation, but is utilized for boating. 0 '� The east basin of Moore Lake is 27.5 acres in size with a mean depth of 6 feet and also was originally a shallow, f loating bog. A portion of the lake ��as dredged during construction of U.S. Highway 65 but the remaining part of the lake is less than 5 feet deep. The northern part still retains the marsh type shoreline and floating bog characteristics. Prolific we�d growth occurs in the shallot,a areas and algal blooms occur in the.summer months. The deep, dredged portion has enabled a gamefi.sh population to become established. The shoreline is nearly all park with a swimming beach that is heavily utilized. Other recreational uses of th� east basin are boating and f ishing. Preliminary Nutrient Balance Inflows for all inlets were calcul�ted from the precipitation, watershed areas and runoff coefficients determin�d from aerial pho�.ographs. The flow values were correlated with recorded flows from weir installations and will be ref ined with newly acquired data this year.• The phospho'rous contribution fram each watershed was calculated from the concentrations in �he runoff samples and from the flow data. The preliminary runoff and nutsient data is _ 2_ • �' Eugene A. Hickok �nd Associates, Inc. 0 shown on Table 1. Locations of the storm sewer inlets are shown on Figure l. Several conclusions can be drawn from this data. The east basin receives over two thirds of the runoff (404 ?�c-Ft) ancl three fourths of the phosphorus entering Moore Lake. The west basin storm sewers contr.ibute 162 acre ft of water and 90 lbs of phosphorus. The west basin receives additionally 340 acre f t of water and 114 lbs of phosphorus from th� east basi.n through the connecting culvert. The internal phosphorus loading in Moore Lake is high. Because of its shaliowness and the organic nature of its bottom sediments the phosphorus in the bottom sediments is continually recycled by biological and ch�anical mechanisms. The internal phosphorus con- tribution is estimated to be equal to or greater than the externaZ contribution. According to thE Vollenweider phosphorus l.oading model, Moore Lake is substantially higher than the eutrophic limits of loading (Fi,gure 2). This indicates that unless corrective action is taken the lake will continue to rapidly age and eventuall.y revert to a marsh. Possi.b3e restorative actions ar� describcd as follows: -3� • Eugene A. Hirkok and Associates, Inc. Restoration Atternatives 1. Separate the East Basin from the West Basin Because of the different uses of the two basins a more intensive restoration program for the East�Basin may be the most cost effective. �A properly designed con- trol weir placed at the connecting culvert would per- mit flow from the east fio the west basin only and ailow portaging of canoes. 2. Divert the Harris t_ake Retenfiion Pond Overflow Ditch to the West Basin According to 7able 1 this source is the largest contrib- utor of nutrients, The remaining inflow would be ade- quate to maintain both basins at present levels. A nea� control structure at the ou�let would be constructed to atlow flow from the Harris Lake Retention Pond overflow to augment tFre �,�est bas i n dur i ng very dry cond i t ions . 3. Soil filtration treatmen� svstem at Fitmore Street Retention Pond In order to treat the runoff from the 76 Station drain- age area (Lynde Drive), the water would be stored in the existing pond west of Filmore Street. Dredging of the pond basin may be necessary to obtain sufficient storage capacity. The stored water would be treated by an organ- ic soil filter with an underdrain system that would allow ..q_ • ' Euc�ene A. Hickok and Associates, Inc. the water to be refiurned to the storm sewer at Polk Street. This system could remove as much as 90% of the partic�late phosphorus and 50% of the ortho phosphorus from the stormwater. 4. Aeration of East Basin To prevent recycling of phosphorus from the deep sedi- menfis aeration would be continued. The presence of oxygen at the sediment-water interface prevents the phosphorus from redissolving into the overlying water. Ongoing analyses of lake bottom core samples will indi- cate the extent of aeration necessary. 5. Modification of the shallow northern portion of the East Basin The (6 acre) shallow area in the East Basin is a major cause of phosphorus recycling. The extensive aquatic plant growth in this littoral area transports the phos- phorus from the organic muck into the surrounding water. isolation of the bottom sediments can be accomplished by several methods. 1). Dredging of 4'-5' of material to remove phosphorus containing sediments and to lessen fihe littoral area suitable for plant growfih with aeration to prevent exchange. 2). Covering the lake bottom sediments with 6" of sand by deposition on top of the ice, or by lake drawdown. - 5- . ,' Eugerze A. Hickok and Associates, 3), Lake drawdown and placing of a plastic liner covered with sand. 6. Manipulate fish�popula�ions The bottom feeding activities by rough fish cause re- cycling of phosphorus via their intestinal tract. Elimination of rough fish would halt this recycling. Larger pr�dator game fish, ie: Northern Pike, would de- crease the small fish population which feed on zoo- plankton. This would allow the population of zooplank- ton to increase which could help to reduce aigat popula- tion. The feasibility of introducing large fish may be limited because o�F the shallow lake depth and the aera- tion system preventing a cold water habitat. %. Relocation of the discharqe of the Beach Gardena Hackman Storm Sewer The discharge point of the Beach storm sewer could be re- located several hundred feet south of the swimming beach and the existing channel and deita removed, i'hi-s would improve the aesthetics of the swimming area and reduce the ba�hers exposure to contaminates. 0 8, �,vert the Tennis Court (Gardena-Wood� Lane) storm sewer to the outlet � Removal ofi this source would lower the phosphorus loading - 6 - • ,' �ugene A. Hickok and Assoc�ates, lnc. 0 0 rate to near the eutrophic limifi. The remaining storm sewers v�rould be suf-Ficient to maintain the East Basin and the previousiy discussed outlet control structure would enable the West Basin to be augmehted if necessary. 9. Remove excessive aquatic plant qrowth in the West Basin The harvesting of plant growth would remove phosphorus . and reduce recycling of phosphorus from tf�e sediments. However, the removai of plant competition tor nutrients would increase the algal pop�atation. The disposal of harvested aquatic plants and the expense and maintenance of equipment are serious drawbacks. 10. Dredqinq of sediments in the West Basin Dredging of sediments to below five feet wbuld reduce the li�ttoral area of the basin and limit aquatic plant growth. Because of tne organic nature of the bottom soils aera- tion or sealing of the bottom sediments would still be necessary to prevent nutrient recycling. Locating a proper disposal site for the remeved material com6ined with dredging costs make such an alternative unattractive. 11. Isolation of the West Basin s�diments Lake drawdown and placing a plastic liner, fly ash, clay or sand over the sediments could be accomplished. This _ � _ �• ' Eugene A. Hickok and Assaciates, Inc. 0 would isolate the bottom sediments and prevent nutrient exchange. However the large area (63 acres), limited public access, and costs, make this action undesirable. : a • '' Eugene A.liickok and Associates, Inc. 0 0 CONCLUSIONS At this time the following alternatives appear the most feasible for the Moore Lake Restoration Grant Application: l. Separation of the east basin fram the west basin 2. Diversion of the Harris Lake Retantion Pond overflow ditch to the west basin of Moore Lake 3. Construction of an organic soil treatment system at the Filmore Street Retention Pond. 4. Continue aeration of the east basin 5. Modif ication of the shallow northern portion of the east ba s in 6. Manipulation of the f ish population 7. Relocation of the beach (Gardena-Hackmari) storm sewer outlet 8. Diversian of the tennis court (Gardena-Woody Lane) storm- sewer to the outlet of Moore Lake � These alternatives appear to be the most effective means for the greatest public benef it and the least committment of resources. � 0 �• ' Eugene A.

QURESHI, �ITY MANAGER, AND CITY CDUNCIL FROM: �1ARVIN C. SRUNSELL, ASST. CITY MGR./�iN. DIR. SU$JECT: INCREASING THE TAX BASE DAT�: MARCN 24, i978 In October i971,the State Legislature adopted a s�atute which �l�ced a limit on the amount of tax dollars a city could 7evy. This limit �s stated �n dol7ars p�r cap�ta. Tfie limit does not re��r to mill � rate or assessed value. The l�mit went into e�fect �ith tfi� taxes levi�d in 7977 payab3e �n 1972. This statute has placed a s�vere han�icap on a number Qf Minnesota cities. It has �7ace� mor� of a handicap Qn some than Dthers. One of the reasons iS, the 1�1v bases everything on the base year,whi�h wa� 1971. Those ci�ies that were cau�l�t with low tax levies that year were, in e�fect, stuck wi�h that low levy. C�ties that happened to have a relativQ�y high tax l�vy that year werQ �r� relaiive�y better shape in succeeding years. in an effort to re7�eve th�s �nequity, the 1977 L�g�sla�ure amended the 1971 7aw by permitt�ng c�t��s to �ncreas� their tax�ng ab�lity by an amount of up to ten percent. Certain specific procedures must b� followed in �rder to i�crease a city's tax�ng authority. �owever, �� the c�ti�s ar� willing to go through the procedures as outline� in th� statut�s, � city can 7��ally �n�rQase �ts taxing authority by up to ten �ercent. This �ne time proc�dure was �va�7ab1� for the �977/�978 ta� y�ar �nd is available #or the 7978/7979 tax year. A c�ty cannot decide n�xt year, ttie year after, or s�me �oint in tfi� future th�t �t w�11 increas� its t�xing authority by u� tD t�n ��rcent. T�e whole purpose o� the 1977 law was t� correct inequities that may �ave been built into the original iaw. Presumably, the Legislatur� feels that if � city does not need t� take advantage of thi� increased iaxing authority i'n th� y�ar 1977/1978 or 7978J7979, it $hou7d not have to �o so in the futurQ. As you knosv, Fridley has been getting c�os�r to the l�mit. �or ifi� year 197$/1979, the City could legally levy �2,208,�70 gross tax doilars. Ttie Ciiy actually , c T0: NASIM M. QURESHI, CITY MANAGER, AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: INCREASING THE TAX BASE DATE: MARCH 24, 1978 PRGE 2 levied $2,199,318, which means the City was within $9,262 or four tenths of one percent of its maximum taxing authority. The attached schedule shows the Councii the steps that are required if the City is to �ncrease �ts taxing authority. Undoubtedly, a great deal of preparation and background w�rk will be necessary before the public hearing in order for the City to present a complete picture of why an increase in the taxing authority is. necessary.

The elections division of the Minnesota Secretary of State's Office indicates that municipalities have no obligation to report or publicize political events, even palitical caucuse$. Actually, only the County Auditor's Office is required to make available to the public correc� information as to the time and place of poli�ical caucuses f�iN Statutes 202A.14, Subdivision 3. Accardingly, the decision to publicize poli- tical events, activities, or even caucuses on �he municipal level is an administrative decision. II. The purpose of our three Public Information components is to share public information. It is not to confuse the public. It is entirely possi�le that publicizing political activities may suggest partisan favoritism and cause confusion among the citizenry. III, t�hile it is true that the State of Minnesota has only three recognized political parties (DFL, IR. ��nd the American Party), Minnesota has the largest compliment of minority parties in the nation. In 1976, there 4rere approximatel.y ten candidates � far President of the United States campaigning in the State of Minnesota. IV. There is no "equal time" provision in the Minnesota Statutes. However, federal regulations in this regard are perplexing at best. Should the City be in the business of assuring "equal time" to various political pariies? V. The City administration accepts its responsibilfty to provide efficient and prompt service. Fublicizing events or activities that may be controversial risks significant involvement of staff time that may well be pTaced in more productive areas. PF/et
