CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Gary S. made a motion to pay all the bills except the PCI bill
which we are holding until the lean waivers have been approved
by Gary Meyer and the Clinic Bond until we recieve reimbursement from
the Buffalo Memorial Foundation for the September 1985 and
the March 1986 payments. Bob B. made the second on the motion, and

can be paid. He informed the Council that Meyer-Rohlin believes
that the problem will be resolved within the next few weeks.
The 1985 Audit was discussed. Maureen and Bob Minkema were asked
to put together specification for the Audit Report. The Council
will advertise for auditing services to see if we can cut some
costs.
Bob Minkema recommended to the Council that the two new budget
items: Park and Fire Departments have the following amounts
transferred into them:
Park +500.00
Fire-15,000.00
Bob futher explained that the reason the Fire Department should
recieve a deficit transfer fo $159000.00 representing the capital
outlay that has already been spent on the purchase of the fire
truck. These transfers result in the General Fund having an
additional balanceof $14,500.00.

GRAMM-RUDMAN DEFICIT REDUCTION PROCESS THREATENS FFY186 FUNDS FOR CITIES
Enactment of the Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (otherwise
termed "Gramm-Rudman" by the media) establishes a process to
accomplish federal deficit reduction by setting targets for reduced
federal spending. Those defict reductions are to be achieved between
now and FFY 1991. All city programs are covered by the act and
therefore subject to immediate cuts regardless of the fact that cities
have already adopted budgets for FY186.
Cities face serious and harmful impacts to local programs and services
as a result. Gramm-Rudmann effectively narrows the portion of the
federal budget available for reductions to as little as 13 percent of
all direct federal spending and tax expenditures. Tnat means that
the small portion of federal spending must absorb cuts nearly equal
to the current federal deficit. Those cuts would be made
immediately, as of March 1, with a second series of reductions set
for October 1, 1986, both dates within cities' current budget year.
Unless Congress and the President can agree to some other way to
reduce the growing federal deficit before February 1, the automatic
sequestering process called for in Gramm-Rudman will take effect.
(Sequestering refers to the automatic cuts in federal spending
subject to provisions of Gramm-Rudman.)
In order prevent further cuts in city programs, city officials must
immediately contact individual members of the Minnesota Congressional
Delegationa during the current congressional recess. Tell them how
these proposed cuts will affect your current budget and services and
urge them to support a resolution of disapproval to proposals to
either defer CDBG spending or to further reduce GRS or other federal
assistance to cities (see below
To accomplish targeted spending reductions, the President and the
Congress must immediately reduce the current deficit ($220+ billion
at last estimate) to no more than $171.9 billion by March 1, 1986.
In order to provide current federal budget savings needed to meet the
initial deficit reduction, an accelerated timetable has been put into
effect for FFY186. When Congress reconvenes on January 21, following
1 e3 university avenue east, st. paul, mirinesota 551 01 (61 2) 227-5600
its holiday recess, information will already be known about the size
of savings that must be achieved. For this year, the new budget
reduction process has determined that the maximum deficit reduction
required will be $20 billion.
It is expected that the amount of immediate budget cuts for the
remaining months of FFY186 will total at least $11.7 billion
(through September 30, 1986), to be split 50:50 between military and
domestic spending.
By January 21, the recommendations of the Congressional Budget
Office, the Office of Budget and Management, and the Government
Accounting Office for cutting current fiscal year spending will
be known. For cities, such recommendations are most likely to call
for significant cuts in funds already committed_ and budgeted,
including a 4.6 percent reduction in April and July, 186 GRS payments
as well as potential loss of funds for rental rehabilitation; new
public housing construction; housing development grants (HODAGS);
existing Section 8 housing and rehabilitation funds; an additional
cut of 16 percent for CDBG grants (in addition to the 10 percent
cut just enacted for FFY 186 funding) already committed for this year;
and all public housing operating subsidies carried over from FFY185.
Fears are growing that current (FFY186) CDBG grants will also be
targeted for cuts in March, with an additional 5 percent cut as
determined by Gramm-Rudman, plus an additional deferral (delay in
spending) of $500 million for the current year.
October 186 GRS payments, already scheduled to be reduced by 34
percent, will be further reduced by an additional 4 percent under
Gramm-Rudman, for a total of 38 percent in cities' final FFY186
payment.
Domestic spending totaling at least $5.9 billion (half the $11.8
billion cited above) will have to be reduced to meet the targets set
by Gramm-Rudman. It means that EPA municipal wastewater grants,
highway and transit operating and capital assistance funds, UDAG
grants will all be reduced by at least 4-5 percent from the amounts
already committed (and budgeted) for this year, unless either the
U.S. House or Senate passes a resolution of disapproval to reject any
or all of these domestic spending cuts.
Add to this the prospect of passage of federal tax reform legislation
by late next summer, and one can begin to fully appreciate the very
precarious state of local government financing for the coming year.
Federal mandates continue to operate in the midst of the federal
deficit crisis. Tnerefore, the costs to cities and states remain as
the local fiscal capacity to assume these responsibilities is
further diminished. Remember, too, that the President will soon
announce his FFY187 federal budget proposals to Congress. In order to
meet the targeted federal budget figures cited in Gramm-Rudman, the
President must provide for a federal FFY187 Budget calling for
another major spending out, this time - $ 48 billion, to take effect
next October.
It is already feared that targeted programs in FFY187 will include
reductions in the number of entitlement CDBG cities and termination of
rental rehabilitation,UDAG grant and rehabilitation loan funding.
If the currently proposed increases in military spending are included
in the FFY187 budget proposal along with no action to address fast-
growing tax expenditures or non -need tested entitlements, outright
elimination and extraordinary cuts in remaining domestic spending
will be necessary.

!Mayors, Managers, and Clerk

Legislative Representative
RE: Governor's Budget Proposal
Revised revenue and expenditure forecasts for the state were
released today along with Governor Perpich's recommended budget
revisions. Trre latest forecasts for the biennium indicate a
$720 million shortfall. Governor Perpich has recommended
that $380 million be cut from the appropriations approved last
spring. Unfortunately cities are heavily impacted by those
cuts.
Tne General Approach
Tne Governor has recommended retention of $100 million of the
budget reserve in case their estimates are again proven too
optimistic. The remainder of the budget shortfall is dealt
with through expenditure cuts. No state tax increases are
proposed. Most budget items are cut 3.5p for the biennium.
However, because we are already more than half through the
first year of the biennium, the practical reality is that it is
a 7.Op cut in the last year of the biennium for most programs.
Education is cut only 2.56 on a biennial basis.
1956 Local Government Aid
Cities will lose approximately 8.1p of their 19S6 LGA payments.
Because cities have already received their local government aid
from the first year of the biennium, all cuts must be taker:
from the calendar year 1986 LGA payments (state fiscal year
'37). The cut represents loss of 3.5N of the biennial total for
LGA plus an additional out of $4.2 million which represents a
3.5' cut of miscellaneous credits and expenditures (pension
aid, wetlands credit, enterprise zone credits, etc.).
This 8.11, cut in LGA weans that over-all funding to cities will
be less than it was in 1985. The administration proposes that
all cities have their previously certified 1986 LGA reduced eY
8.1%. The result of this is that grandfathered cities will
1 83 university avenue east, st. paul, minnesota 551 01 C61 2) 227-5600
receive cuts from their 1985 level of 8.1% and tnat only those
cities who were certified to receive close to the maximum
increase of 12% in 1986 will realize any real growth.
Future LGA
The 19 Legislature must set LGA levels for 1987 so that they
can be certified prior to cities setting their levies in the
fall. The Governor has recommended only a 3% increase for 1987
over the reduced base.
Homestead Credit
The Governor has recommended that homestead credit payments to
local governments in 1986 be reduced by 8.78p. Tnis represents
a biennial reduction of 3.% applied in one year plus a 3.5%
biennial reduction in the circuit breaker property tax refund
program. This reduction would be implemented by each
jurisdiction's scheduled payment being reduced by 8.7856'.
In order to make state costs more controllable, it is being
recommended that in 1987 (state fiscal year 188) the total
homestead credit appropriation be capped at the 1986 level
prior to the reductions.
Payment Schedule
In order to improve the state's cash flow and help eliminate
the need for the state to do short term borrowing, a revised
LGA and homestead credit payment schedule has been proposed.
Cities now receive these payments in six equal payments each
month from July to December. It is proposed that, beginning in
1986, cities receive payment for these programs in July and
December. Because the first payment would be equal to three
months of payment under the current system, interest earnings
on the larger first payment would theoretically balance out any
borrowing costs incurred waiting for the second payment. It is
important to note that the administration has agreed to an
appeals procedure for cities experiencing cash flow problems.
Motor Vehicle Excise Tax Transfer
Almost 0 million in savings is realized by the Governor
recommending that no motor vehicle excise tax transfer be made
from the general fund to the transportation funds. This will
result in the following program reductions:
F.Y. 1986 F.Y. 1987
TAF $13,165,100 13,399,000
Tk. Hwy 24,486,800 24,922,100
CSAH 11,453,600 11,657,100
MSAH 3,554,700 3,617,700
Almost $13 million from the general fund would be provided each
year for the Transit Assistance Fund.
Other programs
In general, all programs will be cut 3.5p on a biennial basis.
No specific information is available yet on how these cuts
would be implemented in individual grant programs. While the
Finance Department has asked state agencies to not seek to
alleviate the cuts in their agencies through new or increased
fees, it is to be expected that these will emerge as policy
options.
Clearly cities have been asked to absorb a major share of the
budget problem. As you are aware, it is very difficult to
respond effectively to major cuts in a year already budgeted
for. Cities are already having difficulties due to the major
cutbacks in Federal Revenue Sharing and other federal programs,
declining taxbases, costs such as insurance rising faster than
inflation, and implementation of comparable worth studies. It
is important that city officials communicate these problems to
their legislators and the Governor.
The League Board of Directors will be meeting next week to
consider appropriate policy and lobbying steps. We will
continue to keep you informed as new information becomes
available. Additional information and analysis will be
available at the Legislative Conference on February 5th.
Time has been scheduled in the afternoon for you to visit with
your legislators. Please plan on attending and meeting with
your legislators on the budget and other pressing concerns.

Dear Chief Executive:
Enclosed is your Recipient Account Statement (RAS) form for Entitlement
Period 17 (October 1, 1985-September 30, 1986). Your Period 17 entitlement amount
reflects the recent legislation (P.L. 99-160) which reduced Revenue Sharing funding
for Period 17 by $381.7 million from the amount available for EP 16. Further, in
accordance with the requirements of this legislation, the reduction has been
subtracted from the fourth quarter payment scheduled for distribution in October
1986. It is anticipated that no further funds will be appropriated to the Revenue
Sharing Trust Fund; therefore, no further payments are anticipated after Period 17.
Because of the pending termination of the Program, additional adjustments to your
quarterly payments may be necessary during Period 17. Your government will be
notified if any adjustments are required.
The RAS provides the following information on your government's Revenue Sharing
account status, data elements, and payment activity during the current and prior
periods.
Section 1 - Entitlement Summary: This block contains allocation and payment
information. Each item is identified by a code in the first column. A
detailed explanation of each item in this block appears on the reverse
side of the Statement. The "Amount" column displays the actual
amount of each item. (For example: if your government received an EP 17
initial allocation of $1,000, the "Amount" column for Item J contains
"$1,000.") The last column, "Cumulative Balance," reflects the beginning
balance (Item A) and ending balance (Item L) for your government's
Revenue Sharing account as well as balance changes because of activity
during the prior period. Following the Entitlement Summary block,
further information concerning the payment status of your government
for EP 17 is displayed.
Section 2 - Data Elements Used To Calculate Allocations: This block displays the
four data elements which were used to calculate allocation amounts for
the current period and adjustment amounts for prior periods.
Section 3 - Revenue Sharing Payment Summary: This block contains information on
payments made to your government since January 1, 1984. NOTE: This
information may be submitted to your auditors to assist in verifying
the Revenue Sharing payments.
Please review the enclosed RAS carefully and retain this letter and the RAS
in your Revenue Sharing files. If you have any questions or need additional
information concerning your account or data elements, contact our Intergovernmental
Relations Division at the letterhead address or call (202) 634-5200.

RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
The Honorable James A. Walsh
Mayor, City of Albertville

Albertville, Minnesota 55301
Dear Mayor Walsh:
Re: Hold Payments Order
City of Albertville
EPA Grant Number C271087-02
January 30, 1986
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has reviewed your December 5,
1985 response to the Notice of Violation (NOV). The response signed by
yourself, Maureen Andrews and Paul Meyer, does not contain evidence that
supports the position of the City of Albertville and Meyer-Rohlin, Inc. that
the project is in conformance with the contract plans and specifications.
It is the Agency's position that the installed liner does not meet the
requirements of Subsection 3.0 "e" of the specifications, which states that:
"the field seams shall be constructed so that the seam in shear
is as strong as the sheet."
Therefore, we are withholding payments on the above referenced grant.
On August 13, 1985, representatives of the MPCA attended a meeting in the
City of Albertville. At this meeting, the supplier of your High Density
Polyethelene (HDPE) liner, Poly -America, Inc., presented data showing seam
strengths of 91% to 112% of the original material were being obtained by the
seaming process. The Agency withheld a decision on the adequacy of the
seams until tests could be performed by an independent testing firm.
Results from Twin City Testing and Engineering Laboratories, Inc., showed
seam strength to be only 44% to 707 of the original material strength. This
prompted the MPCA to write the NOV asking the City to provide information
showing that the seams of the HDPE liner met the contract specifications and
to explain the difference between tests performed by Poly -America and Twin
City Testing.
The response to the NOV included letters from Exxon Chemical Americas and
Union Carbide Corporation which indicated the seaming HDPF. sheets will
result in reductions of the physical properties of the material. They did
not, however, indicate what percent reduction would be considered

acceptable. Poly -America, in a letter included with your response, states:
". . . plastic welding would result in 50% shear strength
relative to the strength of the parent material."
This is not consistent with their original tests that showed seam strength
of 91% and greater. Further test results from Twin City Testing show that
25% of the seams have strengths less than 50% of the parent material and all
are below the strengths originally reported.
Poly -America's letter explains the difference between the original test
results and Twin City Testing's results as follows:
"The material randomly selected for test, was significantly
thicker than the required average thickness."
If this is correct, and a 50% strength reduction across the seam is
expected, a liner significantly thicker than 20 mil would be required to
meet the strengths shown in Poly -America's tests. Tests do not show that
the material's thickness varies to this extent.
The information presented above leads the Agency to believe that Subsection
3.0 "e" of the specifications has not been met. Because the City has not
adequately addressed our concerns presented in the NOV, no further payments
will be made on your grant. The Agency will allow you thirtv (30) days from
the receipt of this letter to respond to the NOV. If you can not provide
information that shows the HDPE liner installed at your wastewater treatment
facility meets contract specifications or industry standards, you will be
required to submit a Corrective Action Plan as described in the NOV. If the
response is not satisfactory or a Corrective Action Plan is not submitted
within 30 days, the Agency will consider deducting the cost of the liner
from the grant fundable portion of your project.
The MPCA invites the City of Albertville and your engineering consultant to
set up a meeting at our offices to discuss this matter. Please direct your
response to Bruce Weaver of the Technical Review Section, (612) 296-7765,
and Mary James of the Grants Section, (612) 296-7732.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Walsh:
Re: Sewer Use Ordinance
Sewer Rate Ordinance
Sewer Service Charge System
City of Albertville
Project Number: C271489
On October 28, 1985 I wrote to you regarding Final Approval of
City Ordinances Number 1985-2 and 1985-3 . Final Approval of
these materials by this office is required for completion of
the City's Step #2 plus #3 Grant. Attached to this letter were
a number of comments and proposals, detailing revisions to
these Ordinances.
Responding on behalf of the City, Mr. Paul Meyer of
Meyer-Rohlin advised us that since the content of these
Ordinacnes had been previously approved by our office, and the
Ordinances had already been enacted, changes should not -be
made in the Ordinances at this time. Under the circumstances
we have decided to accept this decision. However, I encourage
you to review the comments attached to the October 28, 1985
letter. You may find that a number of the proposed changes
have merit. I have also enclosed, for your information, a
description of our general procedure for completing Final
Approvals.
Notwithstanding any decision on your part to amend or not
amend the existing Ordinances, I will need validated copies of
the newpaper summaries (or full texts) whereby the City met
the statutory requirement regarding the publication of
ordinances. Also, :',:ce page 5 of Ordinnance 1985-3 was
missing from the cr, our office received on March 13, 1985, I

will need a copy of page 5 with a cover letter authorizing me
to insert it into the enacted Ordinance. Please provide me
with copies of these materials by February 25, 1986. Thank you
for your cooperation in this matter.
If you have any questions please contact me at (612) 296-7749.

COMPLETING FINAL APPROVAL AND ENACTMENT OF SEWER ORDINANCES
Ordinarily, approximately 60 days prior to the time a City
plans to place a grant constructed treatment works in
operation we request that copies of the Ordinances the City
intends to enact to operate the facilites be provided to our
office for review. It is our experience that these materials
may or may not be identical with those Contingently Approved
prior to the initiation of construction. Changes may have been
affected in these materials because the City decided to employ
different methods for managing wastewater or recovering costs,
or because of changes in costs or treatment processes arising
during the construction period.
In reviewing these materials to determine what matter of
changes, if any, have been affected we also provided comments,
as appropriate, on those parts of the Ordinances which have
not been altered subsequent to Contingently Approval, but
which could profit from revision or amendment. These comments
are intended to assist the City in exercising the financial,
legal, managerial, and institutional capability to effectively
operate the new facility and insure continuing compliance with
Federal and State requrements. After the City has responded to
these comments we recommend enactment. The City is then
required to provide our office with complete copies of the
enacted materials as well as a validated copies of the
newspaper summaries (or full texts) whereby the City met the
statutory requirement regarding publication of ordinances.
when the review process for Final Approval is approached in
this manner, useful and practical improvements can be
undertaken in the proposed Ordinances with minimal effort, and
at little or no expense to the City. Moreover significant
problems in the Ordinaces which would clearly result in the
violation of Federal or state regulations can be correct
before they become a part of the legal code of the City.
When, as was the case with your community, we receive copies
of the enacted Ordinances without having an opportunity to
conduct a suitable review prior to enactment, the situation
becomes somewhat more complicated. The value of making changes
in the Ordianances must then be weighed against the time and
expense of amendment. where there are provisions in the
Ordinaces which will clearly result in the violation of state
or federal regulations we find ourselves compelled to require
amendments. However, there are certain provisions which while
not necessarily at variance with applicable regulations,
would,upon amendment, help insure the City's ability to
effectively exercise the financial, legal, managerial, and
institutional capability to effectively operate the new
facilities. In this situation we encourage the City to
thoughtfully consider the review comments we have provided,
but we generally accept the City's decision if the City
decides not to ammend the existing ordinances.

Advanced Legal Education
Hamline University School of Law
January 22, 1986
Dear Colleague:
• 1536 Hewitt Avenue • St. Paul, Minnesota 55104 • 612/641-2336
While sources of funding for cities are decreasing, the demand for
services is not. Local governments are feeling increased pressure to
provide capital -intensive public services such as resource recovery
facilities, filtration plants and distribution systems, tertiary waste-
water treatment plants and correctional institutions.
These circumstances are forcing local governments to look at new, less
costly ways to respond to the challenge of providing capital -intensive
public services. One intriguing alternative is "privatization." Simply,
it calls for local government to enter into a long-term "service contract"
with a private vendor which constructs, owns, and operates the key
capital facilities.
On February 7th, Advanced Legal Education is presenting a seminar which
focuses on the law and practice of "Privatization." Please take a minute
to read the enclosed brochure information for program details. Don't
miss this opportunity to learn more about this timely option for local
gove rnme nt s .
Sincerely,
Anne Pfankuch

Dear Mayor and Members of the Council:
Consistent with the letter I mailed to you in early October 1985, we have
begun the process to resume our construction activity in April 1986.
Enclosed you will find a copy of a letter that was distributed to eight (8)
or ten (10) construction companies. We will then send bidding contracts
to any and all that respond. By the end of February, we should have made
a decision on which contractor we intend to use, and we can give them thirty
(30) day notice to move in and set-up.
Please remember that these dates are all rough targets. Actual events may
vary by a couple of weeks or more.
I will keep you informed, and our construction people will contact your
staff before any cable work actually begins.
We are looking forward to building and operating cable in your area, and a
successful joint effort between Rite Cable Company and you.
Regards,
James W. Daniels

DATELINE - Washington, D.C. - January, 1985 - Volume i4
A SIX-PACK TO GO
It was one of those compelling statistics that demand explanation, and for more
than two years it popped up in virtually every story about the EPA's progress -- or lack of
same -- under the Superfund's toxic -cleanup law. In its years of operation, Superfund had
managed to clean up only six -- count'em, six -- of the nation's most dangerous dumps.
Recently, the former head of the Superfund program informed a House
subcommittee that the six sites were never really on the Superfund cleanup list. They
were merely on an "interim" list before the real, final list was completed.
EPA's new explanation is prompted in large part by the fact that one of the
"cleaned up" sites, the Butler Tunnel near Pittston, Pa., sprang a leak a few months ago,
spilling more than 100,000 gallons of contaminated water into the Susquehanna River.
Hence, a new statistic. In its years of operation, Superfund has managed to clean
up zero — count 'em, zero — of the nation's most dangerous toxic dumps.
AND A SIX-PACK NOT TO GO
Nationwide campaigns to crack down on intoxicated motorists are beginning to
pay off. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that the number of
drunken drivers who suffered fatal injuries dropped from more than 14,000 in 1980 to
11,000 in 1984 — a 24% decline.
The federal agency also said that the percentage of drunken motorists among all
fatalities involving drivers during the same period dropped from 50% to 43%.
CENTIPEDE IN THE WHITE HOUSE
I'd like to share with you a recent letter from my colleague, Rep. Barney Frank
(D-MA):
"Thank you for voting twice to save $1.7 billion by not building the 12 unnecessary
MX missiles.... With the White House and its agents claiming that this was somehow a
dastardly plot to cut off the President's legs in Geneva, we made an impressive showing
and I appreciate your steadfastness.
By my count, this is at least the sixth issue on which some of us have been accused
of cutting off the President's legs in Geneva. We may have to start referring to the
centipede in the White House."
THE MOUSE THAT MOVED
Most people don't know it, but the Disney characters -- Donald Duck, Mickey
Mouse, Goofy and the rest -- are Teamsters. During a recent visit to Washington, they
were booked into a nonunion hotel. When an officer of the Hotel and Restaurant
Employees, Local 25 found out, he called the Disney people. Well, Donald, Mickey and
the gang wanted none of it and moved to an organized hotel. (The Disney management,
not concerned about that kind of thing, stayed.)
Naturally pleased with himself for getting the characters to move, the union
officer said, "I'm glad to see that Mickey's a working man's mouse and not a rat."
SUMMIT GAFFE
The best come -back to White House Chief of Staff Don Regan's comment about
women not understanding the issues of the Geneva Summit, comes from columnist Ellen
Goodman: "With apologies to Donald Regan, those of us who already have won the
dubious right to be equal victims in any nuclear war have also won the right and
responsibility to be equal among the planner for peace."
"SAINT RALPH" by Michael Kinsley, a Nader Raider
"Henry James nailed Ralph Nader in his 1886 novel, The Bostonians. James called
the character Miss Birdseye.
'She always dressed in the same way: she wore a loose black jacket, with deep
pockets, which were stuffed with papers ... She belonged to the Short -Skirts League, as a
matter of course; for she belonged to any and every league that had been founded for
almost any purpose whatever. Yet she knew less about her fellow -creatures, if possible,
after fifty years of humanitarian zeal, than on the day she had gone into the field to
testify against the iniquity of most arrangements .... No one had an idea how she lived;
whenever inoney was given her she gave it away.... There was a legend that an Hungarian
had once possessed himself of her affections, but it was open to grave doubt that she
cotild have entertained a sentiment so personal. She was in love ... only with causes....'
Tens of thousands of Americans would be dead today, possibly including you, if
Nader hadn't singlehandedly invented the issue of auto safety. His long campaign for
mandatory air bags may bore most people and enrage a few. But would even these people
prefer pre -Nader cars without seat belts, padded dashboards, collapsible steering wheels
and shatter -resistant glass? On matters ranging from the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration to the Freedom of Information Act (just two of his monuments),
Nader stands accused -- sometimes justly -- of going 'too far.' But without the people
who go too far, we wouldn't go far enough.
His narrow lapels, pointy shoes and skinny ties are now the height of fashion,
offering some hope that the day will come when his clothes will be out again and his
Politics will be back."
MORE ON GENERAL DYNAMICS, following recent indictments for defrauding the
Defense Department
The fiction is maintained that defense contractors are private firms dealing at
arm's length with their public customer. Yet often they are little more than jobbers.
The government provides them with plant and equipment. They are subsidies for interest
when the companies have to borrow and, as the recent General Dynamics indictment
shows, for what in the private world would be normal costs of doing business.... As a
study commissioned by Navy Secretary John Lehinan shows, profits are high as well. It is
a cosseted, semi-public, cost-plus industry -- and perhaps it has to be. In the U.S.
economy that may be the only way for it to exist. But one price of this, as other recent
cases have suggested, and as this new case now suggests, is a diminished sense of public
responsibility.

Dear Mayor and Council,

January 21, 1986
Pardon the informality of the introduction, however, we are addressing
this letter to all our member cities, and to individualize would take clerical
time and delay the mailing.
Over the past years, your city, along with other Small Cities has been
a member of the Minnesota Association of Small Cities (MAOSC). Your city's
membership has allowed your city's voice to be heard throughout the levels
of Government. Although our successes haven't received media attention,
even though for years the Small Cities Association was considered an
outsider, much like that nagging tick on the tail of the governmental system,
over the past year the respect for the concerns of Minnesotas Small Cities
has grown, and now there is no doubt that the Small Cities are, and will
continue to be, a voice to be reckoned with.
In 1985 your MAOSC Board committed itself and its member cities to
the formation of the Minnesota Center for Small Governments, a joint effort
between the Minnesota Association of Small Cities and the Minnesota
Association of Townships. This organization, to be operated by Grants
and Foundation funds is established to assist rural Minnesota Communities
(Township and Small City governments) in providing solutions to problems
and issues faced by rural Minnesota. The formation of this organization
has created quite a stir among various forums in Minnesota. We believe
that this Center can truly be one of the greatest Forces for expressing
and providing resolution to the needs and concerns of Small Governments.
Because of our expanded efforts, and because of the number of Legislative
Activities undertaken this past year, items which were not budgeted for
in our 1985-86 budget, there is a need to approach each of our Small City
members and request a contribution of $30.00 per city. This amount will
assure that our efforts toward the establishment of the Minnesota Center
can continue, and assure it is operational at the earliest possible date.
The background on the Minnesota Center was presented in the last issue
(January 1986) of Small Talk.
Your City's support will be of great value in bringing this new center
to reality.

Re: Amendment of Joint Powers Agreement
Dear Linda:
TELEPHONE 941-9220
AREA CODE 612
Please find enclosed with this letter, the letter which I have
received from David Kennedy relative to my letter to him of
January 14, 1986.
I believe that Mr. Kennedy's letter is self-explanatory. I
specifically direct your attention to the first full paragraph on
Page 3 of his letter wherein he indicates that he does not think
the language of the Bond Resolution prohibits amendments to the
Agreements. Therefore, Mr. Kennedy is rendering an opinion that
the members would be free to amend the Agreement relative to use
of excess net revenues.
It is also interesting to note the next full paragraph in the
letter wherein he indicates that if the Board wants to be the
Bond issuer, there must be a restructuring of the Agreement.
However, Mr. Kennedy indicates that he thinks the marketing of
such Bonds would be difficult.
In view of the individual members reviewing the Agreement, I
think it would be useful if my letter and Mr. Kennedy's were
distributed as soon as possible to them.
Call me with any questions.

Re: Hanover, St. Michael, Albertville and Frankfort
Joint Powers Board: General Obligation
Water Revenue Bond of 1978
Dear George:
I have reviewed the materials you sent with
r reuest
for opinion of January 14, 1986, and have also reviewed
the bond transcript for the $1,046,000
Obligation Water Revenue Bond of 1978 of the City General
of
Albertville, Minnesota. You have requested our opinion
as to whether the underlying Joint Powers Agreement and
Operating and Authorization Agreement
e
be amended to permit the use of surplusnetrevenuesmay
the water system (Project) for the construction of a
water well improvement to the system.
At the outset I must describe the nature of the financ-
ing of the Project in 1978. The total cost of the
Project was $2,092,000 and the c•cst was financed by a
grant of $1,046,000 from the Economic Development
Administration of the United States Department of
Commerce (EDA) and a loan (Loan) of ;1,046,000 from EDA.
The Loan was evidenced by the issuance and sale by the
City of Albertville (City) of its $1,046,000 General
Obligation Water Revenue Bond of 1978 (Bond) to EDA
which is the sole owner of te Bond. (I am not certain
h
that EDA exists today, but I assume that the Department
of Commerce is still the sole registered owner.) The
Bond matures in annual installments through the year
2008, bears interest at the rate of. 5% per annum, and is
prepayable without premium on any date in
$1,000. (There multiples of
is a reference to temporary construction
bonds in the Agreements, but that method of interim
financing was not used.)
Mr. Georg- Hoff
January 27, 1986
Page 2
The City agreed to issue the Bond under Minnesota
Statutes, Section 444.075 as a general obligation of the
City and in accordance with that statute by the Bond
Resolution pledged the net revenues of the City's water
system (of which, by the Agreements, the Project is a
part) and made the usual covenants to impose adequate
rates and charges to operate and finance the Project, to
operate it efficiently and to keep it properly insured.
•The City also covenanted that it would enforce its
rights under the Agreements for the prompt payment of
all sums due the City under the Agreements. Thus, the
Bond is a general obligation of the City and should
there be any deficiency in net revenues available for
payment of debt service the City must levy ad valorem
taxes throughout the City for such a deficiency. The
Agreements also provide that each member will reimburse
the City pro rata for such deficiency levies.
The City also covenanted to establish and maintain in
its Water Fund (i) an operations account to pay opera-
tion dnd maintenance costs of the system, (ii) a sinking
fund account to which net revenues are pledged for debt
service, (iii) a construction account to pay Project
costs and (iv) a surplus account to which excess net
revenues are paid and which may be used for any au-
thorized corporate purpose designated by the City
Council. (This basic fund flow is duplicated, although
not exactly, in the Agreements.) Under the Agreements
the Board is required to transfer all net revenues to
the City for payment of debt service. The language of
the Agreements is a bit confusing in that in paragraph A
of the Operating Agreement it is stated that surplus net
revenues are to be transferred to the City for . the
prepayment of principal and interest on the general
obligation bonds.", but in paragraph B the Board under-
takes to pay to the City whatever amounts are necessary
"...for the prompt payment of principal and interest..."
on the Bonds. I think a fair reading of the two para-
graphs means that the Board will pay to the City what-
ever amounts are necessary for debt service plus any
surplus net revenues it may have which the City, pursu-
ant to the language relating to the surplus account may
use for whatever purpose it wishes, including prepayment
of the Bond.
In the contractual setting described above it seems
clear to me that the Board must (i) make payments to the
City adequate for debt service on the Bond and (ii)
remit all surplus net revenues to the Citv. The
Mr. Georg- Hoff
January 27, 1986
Page 3
Agreements must be amended if the Board is to be permit-
ted to retain any revenues.
I do not think that the language of the Bond Resolution
prohibits amendments to the Agreements. The holder of
the Bond is looking solely to the City for payment and
by the Resolution the City undertakes to make such
charges, including those contained in the Agreements, as
are necessary, to produce net revenues adequate to
service the Bond. If the City should determine that the
level of revenues provided by the Agreements is in
excess of those needed for that purpose it is not
prohibited from modifying the amounts payable under the
Agreements. Indeed, it seems to me that if the City
should determine to remit surplus net revenues to the
Board it could do so under the Bond Resolution without
any change in the Agreements, and if the City is willing
to take that approach it might be the simplest way to
deal with the problem. On the other hand, the City may
understandably want to use surpluses to prepay the Bond
as quickly as possible.
_ By the way, I agree with your analysis about the ability
of the Board to issue its own genera]. obligation bonds
for the new well: the agreement would have to be
completely restructured, and I also think the public
marketing bonds of such an entity would be extremely
difficult. I should point out, however, that the City
could issue parity bonds for the new project if the
revenue requirements of Section 10 of the Bond Resolu-
tion are met or if the holder of the Bond consents.
I am enclosing a copy of the Bond Resolution, the
specimen bond, and our approving opinion for your
review. The covenants I have referred to are in
sections 2, 8 and 9.
Finally, I will leave to your judgement and that of the
City and the Board the question of whether EDA should be
kept informed of the proposed project and any modifica-
tions to the Agreements. As I've pointed out I don't
think EDA's contractual rights are affected, but it may
Mr. Georg` Hoff
January 27, 1986

be good judgement to keep them abreast of what is
happening to forestall any question the Agency might
raise after the fact.

GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS DONALD BERNING AND I AM TESTIFYING AS
THE CITY CLERK FOR THE CITY OF ALBERTVILLE.
AS THE CLERK MY RESPONSIBLITIES INCLUDE AMOUNG OTHERS KEEPING THE
OFFICIAL RECORDS OF THE CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AND RESPONDING TO OFFICIAL
CORRESPONDENCE WITH AGENCIES SUCH AS THE MINNESOTA EMERGENCY EMPLOYMENT
DEVELOPMENT ACT (MEED) AND YOUR AGENCY.
WHEN THE CITY WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS HEARING I CHECK THE OFFICIAL MINUTES
AND FOUND THAT MR CONNELL'S HIRING WAS APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL ON
MAY 6, 1985. HIS ACTUAL STARTING DATE WAS NOT UNTIL �lcoK
THE HIRING OF MR. CONNEL WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE CITY WORKED WITH
THE MEED PROGRAM. SOME OF THE REASONS WE CHOSE TO BECOME INVOLVED IN THE
PROGRAM IS THAT IT CREATED A TEMPORARY POSITION FOR A SIX MONTH PERIOD,
WHICH CONCURRED WITH THE CITY'S BUSY SEASONS --SPRING, SUMMER AND EARLY FALL.
I THINK IT IS FAIR TO SAY THAT BOTH THE CITY AND MR. CONNELL WERE UNDER THE
SAME UNDERSTANDING THAT THE MEED POSITION WAS LIMITED TO THE SIX MONTHS AND
THAT BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE POSITION THE CITY WAS NOT UNDER ANY
OBLIGITION TO PAY INTO THE UNEMPLOYMENT FUND FOR THE PERIOD THAT MR. CONNELL
WORKED FOR THE CITY.
MS. ANDREWS, THE ADMINISTRATOR WILL TAKE OVER THE CITY'S TESTIMONY
AND WILL BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU THE CITY'S RECORDS ON WHAT MR. CONNELL WAS
PAID BURING THE TIME OF HIS EMPLOYMENT.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MY NAME IS MAUREEN ANDREWS AND AS MR. BERNING
SAID I AM THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE CITY OF ALBERTVILLE. I WOULD
LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW MR. CONNELL'S PAY RECORDS.
OUR RECORDS SHOW THAT MR. CONNELL RECIEVED HIS FIRST CHECK ON
MAY 28, 1985. HIS WAGES WERE SET AT $4.00/ HOUR FOR 40/ WEEK. THIS
IS THE MEED STANDARD OF PAYMENT. MR. CONNELL WAS PAID $4.00/ HOUR THROUGH
JUNE 7, 1985. AFTER THAT DATE HE WAS PAID $5.00/ HOUR--$4.00 WAS
MEED REIMBURSED AND $1.00 WAS FROM THE ALBERTVILLE GENERAL FUND.
MR. CONNELL WORKED A TOTAL OF 1,020.5 HOURS OF WHICH 197.5 HOURS
WERE AT THE $4.00/HOUR SET BY MEED AND 823 HOURS WERE AT THE $5.00/HOUR--
$4.00 BEING FROM MEED AND $1.00 BEING FROM THE CITY OF ALBERTVILLE.
IN ADDITION, MR. CONNELL CHECKED SEWER PUMPS FOR THE CITY FIFTEEN TIMES
DURING THE SIX MONTHS HE WAS WITH THE CITY. THIS AVERAGES OUT TO BE
2.5 TIMES A MONTH. THE CITY PAYS $8.00 A DAY FOR CHECKING PUMPS WHICH
TAKES APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR. SO FOR THE FIFTEEN TIMES MR. CONNELL
CHECKED PUMPS HE RECIEVED AN ADDITIONAL $120.00 OVER HIS REGULAR PAY.
TO RECAP WHAT MR. CONNELL EARNED WHILE HE WAS WITH THE CITY OF
ALBERTVILLE:
BASIC HOURS $4,082.00 (MEED DOLLARS)
823.00 (ALBERTVILLE GENERAL FUND)
CHECKING PUMPS 120.00 (15 TIMES X $8.00)
THE MEED CONTRIBUTION EQUALS 82.25,00' OF MR. CONNELL'S SALARY WHICH CLEARLY
DEMONSTRATES THAT THE MEED PROGRAM WAS THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF MR. CONNELL'S
INCOME OVER THE SIX MONTHS HE WORKED HERE.
