There was some discussion on the Minutes of the August 4th meetiny.
Maureen was asked by Mr. Ron Gibbons had not been scheduled for August 18th
meeting. The Council was informed that the Engineer and Administrator had
agreed that since there was no pay request before the Council and the MPCA
had not yet approved the water balance test results that he would not need
to apprear at the meeting, but would be required to appear the next time a
pay request was made.
After the discussion there was a motion made by Don Cornelius and
seconded by Gary Schwenzfeier to approve the minutes as read. All were in
favor and the minutes were approved.
Mr. Don Zierke of Gries, Johnson and Associates was present and reviewed
the 1985 Audit Report and Management Letter. The Council agreed with the
housekeeping items the Auditors found and requested that at the next
budget work meeting the items be discussed with Bob Minkema and at a later
Council r.ieeting make the necessary motions to make the changes. The motion
to accept the 1985 Audit Report was made by Don Cornelius and seconded by
Gary Schwenzfeier. All were in favor.
The public hearing on the Carl Welter lot subdivision was called to order
after a five minute delay which was requested by the City Council. The
recorded is to note that there was no objection to this request by the Council.
The Council reviewed the lot subdivision and asked if there were any
questions or comments from those present for the hearing (see attached list).
In hearing none, a motion to allow the subdivision of 4.19 acres (more or less)

The motion carried.

The public hearing on Ordinance 1986-3, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE
1975-6, RELATING TO PARKING WITHIN THE CITY OF ALBERTVILLE was called to
order by Mayor Walsh. Gary meyer read the Ordiance and then opened the
matter up for discussion. There was some question about semi -tractor
trailer being to restrictive of language. Maureen was asked to look into
the matter some more and the hearing was extended to September 2nd at
the next regularly scheduled Council meeting.
Mr. Jerry Holland of the Albertville Lions was present to discuss two
items. The first item was the Lion's Organization's application for a
gambling license from the State of Minnesota. The Club requested that the
City waive its right to a thirty day review period during which time the
City would have a right to state objection of the application.
There was a motion made by Bob Braun and seconded by Don Cornelius
to waive the thirty day review period and in turn approve the State's
issuance of the license. All were in favor.
The second item Jerry discussed was the Lion's wish to put a addition
to the existing City Hall which would in turned be tuened over to the City,
but the Lions would have a 100 year lease on the building for their use.
It was agreed that the Gary Meyer as the City Attorney and a Lions member
would work on a draft lease agreement which would be satisfactory to both
parties. No action was taken on approving the addition until such time the
Lions bring in a plan for review.
There was request that the public hearing on Ordinance 1986-4 be delayed
for five minutes in order to finish the discussion regarding the Lion's
proposal. There were no objections so the hearing was delayed.
Jerry Holland was requested to bring to the Council information regarding
the value of teh building, the size of building and a set of plans
of how the building will look. He agreed to get the information together
and meet with the Council at a later meeting.
The public hearing on Ordinance 1986-4 was called to order five minutes
late. The hearing was for the adoption of 1986-4, AN ORDINANCE REGULATING
WIEGHT LIMITATION WITHIN THE CITY OF ALBERTVILLE. The Ordinance was read by
Gary Meyer and then opened for discussion. The following items came up:
Minutes
Page 3
1. That permit fees be established for different ton vehicle's and that
money would go into a street maintenance fund.
2. That there is a need for temporary permits that would be issued as
part of or in conjunction with a building permit.
3. That Section B should be broken out into the following categories:
Yearly
Limited Permit
and that the fee schedule shooild included as part of the Ordinance.
The public hearing was continued until the September 3rd Council
meeting. The records should note that no one was present for the hearing.
Gary Meyer requested that he would be allowed to meet with Virgil
Poilout regarding the easement needed for the extension of Lander and was
excused from the meeting.
While waiting for Gary and Mr. Pouliot, the bills were reviewed.
There was a motion made by Donatus Vetsch and seconded Don Cornelius to
pay bills. All were in favor and the bills were paid, checks included
#7388 to 7412.
Maureen was asked to check with Gary Meyer regarding the Clinic
Bond regarding the agreement between the City and Health Central.
LeRoy Berning was present to request limited beer licenses for
two events --the Jaycee Dance and the Firemen's Fund Raiser. There
was a motion to approve the license for the Dance made by Donatus Vetsch
and seconded by Don Cornelius. All were in favor. There was then a
motion made by Don Cornelius and seconded by Bob Braun to approve the
license for the Firemen's Fund Raiser in Octorber. All were in favor.
LeRoy when discussed with the Council a sign for the entrance to the
Industrial Park. After some discussion it was suggested that LeRoy
work on a couple of different ideas and come back to the Council to
discuss it in more detail.
By this time Gary Meyer had completed his discussion with Virgil
Pouliot and presented Pouliot's request to the Council, which were as
follows:
1. That the City would defer the Special Assessments on
his property for: A. 5 years;
B. Until the property was sold; or
C. Until a building permit was applied for
which ever came first.
2. That he granted a variance on the minimum frontage required
(90') provided that he followed the required proceedures for getting
a variance granted (public hearings and fees still apply in this case).
3. That the City of Albertville pay him $3,000.00 for the
easement.
The following points were then brought out:
1. An average lot in Albertville has been selling for around
$5,500.00 (130'X100') and the easement needed for the street measures
Minutes
Page 4
60' by 82.5 or approximately 3890' of a regular shape and size lot,
which when caculated out (using the going lot prices) the value
of the land would be $2,094, meaning that Pouliot was asking
a higher price then the land was worth.
2. Gary pointed out to the Council that the City has never
paid for an easement of this type and could be setting a precedence
for future projects.
3. Gary also pointed out that City could do a quick taking,
which is a form of condemnation, which could result in the City
having to pay a higher cost for the land.
4. Doug Psyk, being the developer of the project was asked what
he thought of the requests made by Pouliot. He said that he would
agree with what the Council's final agreement was but felt that all
developers are forced to forfeit the land to develop streets and
in this case the City is paying the lander owner for giving them
the opportunity to develop a couple lots.
5. Gary then pointed out to Pouliot that if the City was
required to go through the process of condemning the land that
City would not likely grant the deferrment requested. The same
being true if the City bought the land.
Virgil was then asked to comment on the discussion that just taken
,place. His comments focused on the fact that at one point there
was some discussion regarding his being given fill for his lot and
why the City was no longer discussing that issue. It was explained
that the amount of fill needed would require all the fill from the
project and not allowing it to be used in other areas that need it
as well. In addition the fact that the fill was not going to be given
is one of the reason the Council was considering the granting of the
deferrment.
As a sur.imary of the discussion the following 3 options were poised
to the Council for their comment:
1. The City could pay for the easement, grant no deferrment and
agree to grant a variance provided that all the necessary proceedures
were followed;
2. Make no payment for the land, grant a deferrment for 5 years
or until the land is sold or buildign permit is applied for, which
ever comes first, and agree to grant the variance required provided
that all the necessary proceedures were followed; or
3. Proceed with the Quick Taking, not grant deferrment, but
grant the variances required provided that all the proceedures were
follwed.
The following comments were made:
Gary Schwenzfeier--Not in favor of buying the property;
Donatus Vetsch--Willing to pay for the easement, provided that
it was a fair price.
Minutes
Page 5
Bob Braun --If we pay for this easement will could run into the
type of problem again and could result in a lot large settlement then what
we are looking at in this case.
Don Cornelius --Could pay something for the easement but not grant the
easement.
Jim Walsh --Agreed with Bob and Gary that no money should be paid
for the easement.
Gary Meyer was asked what the City options were on awarding the bids
and proceeding with the work. He said the work could get started but
that until an agreement was signed or the land was condemned no one could
enter onto the property to do any work.
Finally the property owner was given this option or the Council would
proceed to condemn the land:
1. That the City would grand a deferrment for 5 years, or until the land
was sold or a building permit was applied for, whichever comes first; and
2. That the City would grant a variance provided that the proper proceedures
are followed.
If the property owner agreed to this option the City would enter into
an agreement with the owner at the next meeting of the Council, but if
the owner was not to agree with this option then he was contact the City
so that Gary Meyer could proceed with the process of condemning the land.
These options were presented in a motion made by Don Cornelius and
seconded by Gary Schwenzfeier. All were in favor.
At this time it was also reaffirmed that Gary Meyer should be preparing
an agreement between the City of Albertville and Mr. Clem Marx regarding
not being assessed for the storm sewer on the front property because it
will not benefit from its installation.
Mr. Bernard Roden akn Mr. Bernard Vetsch, both local farmers and
Mr. Dave Smith of PPM were present to discuss the water problem the exists
out on the PPM property.
Maureen was requested to read the portion of the minutes from the
November 18, 1985 Council minutes relating to Mr. Smith's assurance that
the water problem would be resolved this summer (see minutes that are attached).
Mr. Roden and Mr. Vetsch explained that they are experiencing water
problems on their land and feel that the problems are a direct result of
PPM's retension pond.
Mr. Smith, when asked explained to the Council that they are no longer
using the heat exchange system because the water does not stay cool enough
to run their equipment and that they are now looking into a water tower system
which would be a closed loop system with no water discharging on the out-
side of the building.
When asked what type of a time table the company was looking at, the
Council was informed that bids were currently being accepted on the tower and
that he expected that it would take about 2 weeks to install the tower once
Minutes
Page 6
the Board of Directors has approved the tower installation.
During the course of discussion both farmers agree that the water table
has been higher this year in comparision with other years but still feel
that something needs to be done.
It was finally agreed that Mr. Smith was to get back to Maureen by the
September 2nd Council meeting with some answers to the farmers' and Council's
concerns.
Bernard Roden also asked that the Building Inspector look into the
mess out at Andy's Camper and request that the area be cleaned up before
the Certificate of Occupancy is granted. Maureen was also requested to
send a letter to MAT Properties regarding the problem as well.
Gordy Berning came in to see how the Council felt about him installing
a pole building, with a shingled roof and overhangs in his back yard.
The building would measure 30'X36' and would be 12' high. The Council
felt that since there ►vas no Ordinance regarding pole type building and
if the buildinn meet the building codes that there would be no problems.
The Local Government Aid for 1986 was reviewed, it was in the amount
of $53,215. There was some discussion about looking into the cost of
having a census done. There was a suggestion to contact the school for
the guidlines the use for figuring the number of students they will
have. There was also some talk about doing a door-to-door count to get
a sense on what type of growth we could expect to see in a census count.
No action was taken on this matter.
The following building permits were approved on the following motions:
Permit #42: 11651 55th Street for Gary Vetsch -- New Home
Motion made by Bob Braun and seconded by Don Cornelius. All were
in favor.
Permit #43: 5154 Lannon Street for Barthel Construction -- New Home
Motion was made by Donatus Vetsch and seconded by Gary Schwenzfeier.
All members were in favor. (pending payment)
Permit #44: 11731 55th Street for Ray Bongaarts -- New Home
Motion was made by Don Cornelius and seconded by Bob Braun. All were
in favor and the motion carried.
A letter from Dyninac Designers was discussed by the Council. The
letter is in reference to the home that is located at 5616 Lake Street,
which could have some potential water problems because the garage floor
is at a lower elevation the the finished street grade.
The Council questioned the Buildign Inspector with regards to how this
problem could have occured and what has to be done to correct the problem.
Maureen was asked to send a letter out to the builders explaining the
City's concerns regarding the home. In addition, Maureen, Barry, Loren,
Lynn and the builder were requested by the Council to get together to
resolve the problem before it becomes a bigger one.

Minutes

The builders are to requested to present a time table and plan for taking
care of the problem.
Barry strongly suggested that the Buildign Inspector take the time to
contact him at Meyer-Rohlin to get final grade elevations for streets
in an effort to circumvent this type of problem from occurring again.
Jim Walsh and Don Cornelius updated the Council on the meeting between
the City and Frankfort Township regarding the lawsuit. The meeting was
held after a exteremly short Joint Powers meeting.
The agreement the the two parties came to is as follows:
That the City of Albertville will not annex any of Frankfort Township
for a period of ten (10) years provided that it is in accordance to
the rights provided for in the State Statutes, without the consent of
Frankfort Township; and
That the money the City recieves for the rental of the watertower
property($5,000.00) would be turned back to the Joint Powers for the
repairs of said towers. The City would agree to this stipulation as
long St. Michael does as well; and
Finally that the City could not agree to pay back the monies incurred
by Frankfort Township with regards to the pending lawsuit.
Maureen was requested to contact Bob Minkema regarding setting up the
last budget meeting and the Budget hearing. Tentative dates are September
9th for the work meeting and September 15th for the adoption of the Budget.
There was a i.iotion made by Don Cornelius and a second by Donatus Vetsch
to change the Council neeting starting tine from 7:00 P.M. to 7:30 for the
winter months. Result of the vote: Gary Schwenzfeier-No, Donatus Vetsch-Yes,
Don Cornelius -Yes, Bob Braun -No, Jin Walsh -Yes. The notion carried.
Barry was requested to prepare feasibility reports on the sealcoating
and patching of Lander and the graveling the tops of the dikes out at
the Wastewater plant.

for later in September once things begin to slow down.
Barry said that he would put together a letter which could be sent out
to the contractor requesting the cooperation while the curb and gutter and
streets are going in. Maureen is to send it out to all the permit holders
that are effected by the constuction.
There was no other business so there was a notion to adjourn. The notion
was made by Donatus Vetsch and seconded by Bob Braun. All were in favor.

TO: CITY FINANCE OFFICERS
RE: 1987 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID NOTICE
The 1986 Legislature changed the formula for determining local government aid
for cities. The amount of your city's 1987 local government aid under the new
formula has been determined and is shown on the enclosed notice. The first
of the two installments of this aid will be paid on July 15, 1987. The enclosed
notice also lists the factors that pertain to your city which were used in
determining your city's local government aid. The following is an explanation
of these factors:
1. PAYABLE 1984 PROPERTY TAX LEVY: This is the total property tax levy for
your city reported on your county auditor's Abstract of Tax Lists for the
taxes payable year 1984. For all but two cities located within the seven
county metropolitan area (Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott
and Washington Counties), this amount includes the 1984 fiscal disparities
distribution levy.
2. PAYABLE 1985 PROPERTY TAX LEVY: Same as line 1, except that it is for payable
1985.
3. PAYABLE 1986 PROPERTY TAX LEVY: Same as line 1, except that it is for payable
1986.
4. 1984 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is the amount of local government aid that
your city was certified to receive in 1984.
5. 1985 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is the amount of local government aid that
your city was certified to receive in 1985.
6. 1986 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is the amount of local government aid that
your city was certified to receive in 1986.
7. 1983 ATTACHED MACHINERY AID: If your city qualified to receive attached
machinery aid in 1983, this is the amount of your city's attached machinery
aid for that year.
8. 1983 POPULATION ESTIMATE: If your city is located within the seven county
metropolitan area, this is the April 1, 1983 population estimate determined
by the Metropolitan Council. If your city is located outside of the
metropolitan area, this is the April 1, 1982 population estimate determined
by the State Demographer's Office.
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER 0 v e r
9. 1983 ATTACHED MACHINERY AID PER CAPITA: This is the amount determined by
dividing your city's 1983 attached machinery aid (if any) by your city's
1983 population estimate.
10. ATTACHED MACHINERY AID ADJUSTMENT: If your city's 1983 attached machinery
aid per capita is greater than $70, this adjustment is equal to the amount
of your city's 1983 attached machinery aid. If your city's 1983 attached
machinery aid is equal to or less than $70, there is no adjustment.
11. ADJUSTED 1984 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is the amount of your city's 1984
local government aid from line 4 minus your city's attached machinery aid
adjustment (if any) from line 10.
12. ADJUSTED 1985 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is the amount of your city's 1985
local government aid from line 5 minus your city's attached machinery aid
adjustment (if any) from line 10.
13. 1984 FISCAL NEED: This is the sum of your city's payable 1984 property
tax levy from line 1 and your city's adjusted 1984 local government aid
from line 11.
14. 1985 FISCAL NEED: This is the sum of your city's payable 1985 property
tax levy from line 2 and your city's adjusted 1985 local government aid
from line 12.
15. 1986 FISCAL NEED: This is the sum of your city's payable 1986 property
tax levy from line 3 and your city's 1986 local government aid from line
6.
16. THREE YEAR SUM OF FISCAL NEED: This is the sum of your city's 1984, 1985
and 1986 fiscal need.
17. PRELIMINARY 1987 FISCAL NEED FACTOR: This is your city's 3 year sum of
fiscal need divided by the number 3. It represents an average fiscal need
for the three years.
18. 25% OF 1982 WATER WELL BONDS: For an applicable city, this is 25% of the
principal amount of bonds issued in 1982 to pay for the construction or
reconstruction of water wells which replaced a municipal water supply found
to be an environmental health hazard by the State Department of Health.
19. FINAL 1987 FISCAL NEED FACTOR: This is your city's preliminary 1987 fiscal
need factor from line 17 plus the adjustment for water well bonds if any,
from line 18.
20. 1986 POPULATION ESTIMATE: If your city is located within the seven county
metropolitan area, this is the 1986 population estimate determined by the
Metropolitan Council. If your city is located outside of the metropolitan
area, this is the 1985 population estimate determined by the State
Demographer's Office.
21. FISCAL NEED PER CAPITA: This is your city's final 1987 fiscal need factor
from line 19 divided by your city's 1986 population estimate from line
20.

1987 LGA Notice
August 8, 1986
22. LOCAL EFFORT MILL RATE: This is a variable amount depending on your city's
fiscal need per capita. If your city's fiscal need per capita is $350
or less, the local effort mill rate is equal to the fiscal need per capita
divided by $17 per capita per mill. If your city's fiscal need per capita
exceeds $350, the local effort mill rate is equal to 20.588 mills ($350/$17)
plus the portion of your city's fiscal need per capita over $350 divided
by $15 per capita per mill. The minimum local effort mill rate is 8.000
mills.
23. 1985 ADJUSTED ASSESSED VALUE: This is your city's taxable value for
assessment year 1985 after adjustment for the assessor's level of assessment.
The assessor's level of assessment is determined by the Property Equalization
Division of the Department of Revenue.
24. 1987 FISCAL CAPACITY: This is your city's 1985 adjusted assessed value
from line 23 multiplied by your city's local effort mill rate from line
22.
25. 1987 PRELIMINARY LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is your city's final 1987 fiscal
need factor from line 19 minus your city's fiscal capacity. If the fiscal
capacity amount is greater than the fiscal need factor, your city's
preliminary aid is zero.
26. ADJUSTED 1987 PRELIMINARY AID: This is the greater of your city's 1986
local government aid from line 6 or your city's 1987 preliminary local
government aid from line 25.
27. FINAL ADJUSTED 1987 PRELIMINARY AID: For most cities, this is the same
as line 26. However, if your city qualified for the attached machinery
aid adjustment on line 10, this amount include's your city's attached
machinery aid adjustment.
28. 1987 AID INCREASE: This is your city's final adjusted 1987 preliminary
aid from line 27 minus your city's 1986 local government aid from line
6. If there is no increase, this amount is zero.
29. AID INCREASE ADJUSTED FOR APPROPRIATION LIMIT: The 1986 Legislature imposed
a limit of $297,440,000 on the amount of local government aid that could
be distributed to cities in 1987. Since the sum of the 1986 local government
aid determined for cities amounted to $285,822,923 and since a city's minimum
aid for 1987 is its 1986 local government aid, there is $11,617,077 of
aid increase available to the cities for 1987. The total calculated aid
increase for cities under the formula is $149,941,023. Part of this amount
is reduced by the maximum aid limitations that follow this stepp. It was
found that if the total aid increase at this step was reduced to $14,883,852
the total local government aid for cities after application of the maximum
limits would be reduced to the appropriation limitation. Therefore, every
city that had an aid increase for 1987 had its increase reduced to 9.92647%
($14,883,852 j $149,941,023) of the calculated amount in order to stay
within the appropriation limitation.
30. 1987 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID AFTER APPROPRIATION LIMIT: This is the sum of
your city's 1986 local government aid from line 6 and your city's adjusted
aid increase from line 29..

31. 1985 POPULATION ESTIMATE: If your city is located within the seven county
metropolitan area, this is the April 1, 1985 population estimate determined
by the Metropolitan Council. If your city is located outside of the
metropolitan area, this is the April 1, 1984 population estimate determined
by the State Demographer's Office.
32. 1986 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID PER CAPITA: This is the 1986 local government
aid from line 6 divided by your city's 1985 population estimate from line
31.
33. MAXIMUM AID IF 1986 LGA PER CAPITA IS GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO $200.00:
If your city's 1986 local government aid per capita is at least $200, your
city's maximum local government aid for 1987 is equal to 104% of your city's
1986 local government aid from line 6. If your city's 1986 local government
aid per capita is less than $200, no amount is entered on this line.
34. MAXIMUM AID IF 1986 LGA PER CAPITA IS LESS THAN $200.00: If your city's
1986 local government aid per capita is less than $200, your city's 1987
local government aid cannot exceed 105.8% of your city's 1986 local
government aid from line 6. If your city's 1986 local government aid per
capita is $200 or greater, no amount is entered on this line.
35. MAXIMUM AID IF 1986 LGA PER CAPITA IS LESS THAN $200.00: If your city's
1986 local government aid per capita is less than $200, your city's 1987
local government aid also cannot exceed $208 per capita, based on your
city's 1985 population estimate from line 31. If your city's 1986 local
government aid per capita is $200 or greater, no amount is entered on this
line.
36. FINAL MAXIMUM AID: If your city's 1986 local government aid per capita
is $200 or more, this is the maximum aid amount from line 33. If your
city's 1986 local government aid per capita is less than $200, this is
the lesser of the two maximums from lines 34 and 35.
37. 102% OF 1986 LGA: Cities of the first class are guaranteed a 1987 local
government aid amount at least as great as 102% of their 1986 local
government aid. For all other cities, no amount is entered on this line.
38. PRELIMINARY 1987 LGA: This is the lesser of your city's 1987 local government
aid after the appropriation limit from line 30 or your city's final maximum
aid from line 36. If your city is a city of the first class, this amount
cannot be less than 102% of your city's 1987 local government aid from
line 37.
39. REDUCTION FOR STATE COSTS: The 1985 Legislature provided that one-half
of the annual cost to the State Demographer of developing population and
household estimates for local units of government is to be deducted each
year from the local government aid distributions. The total $16,000
reduction for this purpose has been allocated on a pro rata basis to all
county governments, cities and towns entitled to receive local government
aid in 1987. The reduction amounts to .005028% of your city's preliminary
aid.
40. FINAL 1987 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is the amount of local government
aid your city can expect to receive in 1987. It is equal to your city's
preliminary aid from line 38 minus the reduction for state costs from line
39.

Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, often referred to as Gramm-Rudman,
which requires a balanced budget by 1991. I appreciate your taking the
time to keep me informed of your views.
I chaired the Minnesota Senate Finance Subcommittee on Health,
Welfare and Corrections at a time when deep budget cuts were necessary.
Nevertheless, I led the fight to ensure continued funding of programs
for women, children, the elderly, the mentally ill and the retarded. As
a member of the Health and Environment Subcommittee and the Select
Committee on Children, Youth and Families, I have spent my two terms in
Congress fighting for crucial programs to protect children, families,
the elderly and the public health of our nation as deep cuts are made in
social spending. And these programs will continue to be a top priority
for me.
But the $220 billion deficit overshadows these and every other
program, threatening the political and social fabric of our society.
It is the major obstacle to ensuring the continued funding for all
Aroarams in the future, and it must be overcome now. This, too, is
of my top priorities. And I have supported legislation which
accomplishes these goals.
you know, on December 11, 1985, the House and Senate

According to the plan, Congress and the President have until

a revenue increase, or a combination of both. If we are unsuccessful in
agreeing on a proposal to meet the target, then an automatic, across-the-
board percentage reduction in defense and non-exempt social programs
spending will be put into effect on October 1 to achieve the needed
savings.
I believe it is essential that Congress act now to reduce our $220
billion deficit because it is crippling our ability to compete abroad,
threatening the long-term ability of our economy to grow and prosper and
seriously damaging the soundness of our employee and retirement programs.
I chose to support the Gramm-Rudman plan because it is a step in the
right direction. Congress had to set a precedent for cutting the
deficit, and I am pleased to say we have accomplished this goal. In
addition, we set this precedent only after two important improvements
were made by Congress, which I supported.
First, I was very concerned that the original Gramm-Rudman plan
would have forced severe cuts on important programs for the poor,
elderly, and disadvantaged because those programs would have been
subject to the across-the-board cuts. I do not believe the budget
should be balanced on the backs of those least able to bear it.
Because of objections by many Democrats in the House, the final
version of this proposal excludes several vital programs from budget
cuts. Veterans' pensions, Veterans' compensation, Social Security,
Medicaid, Aid to Families with Dependent Children, Supplemental Security
Income, Children Nutrition, and food stamps will be exempt. In addition,
Medicare can only be made in payments to doctors and hospitals and is
limited to two percent in any year, except 1986 when the limit is one
percent.
Second, the final version of the Balanced Budget and Emergency
Deficit Control Act of 1985 specifies that half of the across-the-board
cuts must come from the defense budget, with the remaining fifty percent
coming from non-exempt domestic programs. The original plan would have
given the Administration leeway in deciding where to make cuts. I was
very concerned that this would have allowed the bloated defense buildup
to continue while requiring substantial cuts in domestic programs. I
firmly believe that the defense budget must contribute its fair share to
deficit reduction.
I would emphasize that these automatic spending cuts need not be
made if the President and Congress can produce budgets which are within
the deficit limit targets. That will be our most challenging goal over
the next several years. The Administration has already submitted a
Fiscal Year 1987 budget proposal which, according to their calculations,
meets the $144 billion deficit reduction target. Unfortunately, the
Administration is proposing to continue its past policies of
unprecedented increases in defense spending while drastically depleting
funding for vital social programs.

This would mean the complete elimination of revenue sharing for
cities and counties, Urban Development Action Grants, housing programs,
many community services, Small Business Administration loans, sections
of mass transit funding and many programs for the hungry and the
homeless. In all, well over 40 major programs would be eliminated and
many more crippled by the Administration's budget proposal.
I know how difficult it has become for Americans to make ends meet
and it is especially disgusting to see waste mount in areas such as
public works, foreign aid and especially defense -- where scandal after
scandal has showed that at least $40 billion can be saved without
affecting our security or readiness. Yet, the Administration and the
Republican -controlled Senate continue to seek extra funds for defense.
We all support a strong defense, but there is no reason to reward those
who would have us pay thousands of dollars for toilet seats and coffee
pots, or millions of dollars for tanks and planes that don't work.
Through persistent opposition by a majority of the House, we have
been able to save you, the American consumer and taxpayer, from paying
even more for these items and from the even bigger burden of an even
larger deficit. I will continue to lead this fight each time the
Administration or any Members of Congress propose transferring billions
of dollars from programs for women, children, and infants, the hungry
and the homeless, for small businesses and the environment to the big
drain at the Pentagon.
There certainly are hard choices to be made and I will see that
they are made fairly. As Americans, we have to work together to make
the sacrifices for the future of our children, our elderly, and our
country.

Exciting initiatives are strengthening
rural communities throughout Minnesota.
This revitalization of Ear to the Ground

summer's highlights. This issue also serves
as an invitation 'to you to work with us as
we address the community assistance needs of
rural Minnesota. Call our Minneapolis or

"NEIGHBORS" PROGRAM BEGINS
Minnesota Project staff are currently
gearing up the Neighbors Program, an
exciting venture made possible by a two year
commitment from the Bush and Joyce
Foundations.
Neighbors essentially is a community
development methodology made up of three
specific components. While the focus of
Neighbors activities may vary from one rural
community to another, each activity will
include the following: (1) a broad based
community planning process which enables the
"learning" community to determine the
appropriate strategy which will enable it to
obtain specific desired goals; (2) the
delineation of specific training needs of
designated community members; (3) the
provision of this training by "mentors" with
relevant experience from other rural
communities and/or professionals with a
background which "fits" the desired training
needs. The role of the Minnesota Project
will be to ensure that each participating
community will have local people better
prepared to enable the community to achieve
its desired goals.
An integral part of the planning and
implementation of the Neighbors Program will
be played by a six pdrson Steering
Committee. This Committee, made up of both
community representatives and community
development practitioners, will hold its
organizational meeting on August 18th.
Communities interested in finding out
more about the Neighbor's Program should
contact either John Kuester or Susan Schmidt
of the Minnesota Project at 1-800-582-5179.
PROJECT 70 HISTORIC PRESERVATION EFFORT
LAUNCHED IN EMBARRASS
Joint funding by IRRRB and the National
Trust for Historic Preservation of two
vement
separate but related planning activities may
bring the Iron Range community of Embarrass
closer to its goal of converting an
abandoned school on a 26 acre site into a
multi -use facility. The school, originally
built in 1935 as a WPA project, has not been
used since 1970.
The first activity supported by IRRRB
and the National Trust will bring Bob Mack,
an architect with considerable experience
with the restoration of older buildings, to$"
Embarrass at the end of July. Mack's`:,
purpose for this visit is to determine the:
hard costs related to the following: (a),'
stabilization of the building against;,'
further physical deterioration; (b)
restoration of the original section into ''.,
useable condition; and, (c) conversion of a
1958 addition to marketable space.
The second activity will bring a
consultation team to Embarrass in September.
This team, recruited and coordinated by the
National Trust for Historic Preservation,
will be comprised of people with backgrounds
in creative finance, historic site
management, local business development, and
facility management. Individual reports by
team members will be combined into a
feasibility study which will detail
appropriate and obtainable options for uses
of the building.
Local support for both efforts will be
coordinated by Project 70, a coalition of
residents formed in 1985. In recognition of
its strong Finnish heritage, Project 70
wishes to establish linkages between its
Finnish roots and possible uses of the
building. Project 70 "dreams" include craft
stores which feature locally crafted items,
a statue of Jack Frost, and a restored
Finnish village.

Rantala, Chairperson of Project 70 at

MINNESOTA PROJECT ASSESSES TECHNICAL
The Minnesota Project is conducting an
assessment of technical assistance available
to small businesses outside the Twin Cities
Metropolitan Area. The assessment will
identify the strengths and weaknesses in the
technical assistance available to rural
small businesses. The information will help
to shape future policies toward improved
business technical assistance in rural
Minnesota.
The assessment is being funded by the
Governor's Rural Development Council.
Representatives of technical assistance
providers including Small Business
Development Centers, Area Vocational
Technical Institutes, Cooperation Offices,
SCORE/ACE, the Department of Energy and
Economic Development, Community Development
Corporations. and Minnesota Extension, are
supportive of the need for this information.
An Advisory Committee selected south
central Minnesota (Region 9) as the case
study site. Minnesota Project staff will
interview assistance providers, mail a
survey to clients and conduct a focus group
with potential business clients during
August of this year. A final report,
summarizing findings and recommendations for
improved rural business assistance, will be
completed in November, 1986.
For further information contact Susan
Schmidt at 1-800-582-5179 or 612/378-2142.
AGMARKET SURVEY RESULTS
e MinnesotaProject's report on new
local markets for locally grown foods is
scheduled for release in September. Loni
Kemp, in the Minnesota Project's Preston
Office, directed a market survey of bulk
buyers - restaurants, grocery stores,
schools, etc. - in the four southeast
counties of Fillmore, Houston, Olmsted and
Winona, plus the city of LaCrosse.
Preliminary results appear promising.
130 out of 348 bulk food purchasers in the
four -county area responded - a response rate
of 37%. Fifty-eight percent of those
responding reported a willingness to
purchase from local growers in at least one
category of food. Of the $9 million in
total food purchasers they reported, about
23% is already purchased locally. They would
be willing to buy an additional 23% locally,
representing a documented E2 million in
potential new markets.
SIX MCKNIGHT INITIATIVE FUNDS TAKE OFF
In March, 1986, the McKnight Foundation

The McKnight Initiative Funds will, in turn,
fund economic recovery, human services,
leadership development and other activities
aimed at greater self-reliance in rural
Minnesota.

NORTHEAST MINNESOTA PHASEDOWN
On June 30th, the Minnesota Project
ended its three year Iron Range Economic
Development Project (IREDP) with the
communities of Babbitt, Bovey and Floodwood.
Support for this project was through a grant
by the Northwest Area Foundation. As part
of the final evaluation of the IREDP a panel
of citizens from each community is being
surveyed.
The major focus of the IREDP was to work
with local residents as they organized,
designed and implemented long term economic
development strategies appropriate to their
communities. During the three years of the
project, the Minnesota Project worked
closely with the Babbitt/Embarrass Area
Economic Development Association (BEADA),
the Bovey Development Council (BDC), and the
Floodwood Area Development Corporation
(FADCO). The establishment of revolving
loan funds in Bovey and Floodwood, the
present remodeling of the Floodwood train
depot into a tourist information/local
crafts center, and the efforts of Project 70
(see related story) are but a sampling of
local initiatives associated with the Iron
Range Economic Development Project.
A detailed article on the Minnesota
Project's work in Babbitt, Bovey and
Floodwood can be found in Northwest Re ort
(Winter '86), a newsletter —of—the ort west
Area Foundation.
