CALL FOR ADJOURf*P*to Home, industry, Business CITY OF ALBERTVILLE ALHERT'VILLE, N1INNESOTA 55301 PHONE: 497-3384 4 - w-i-S) The regular meeting of the Albertville City Council was called to order by Mayor Loreeta Roden. Members present included Gary Schwenzfeier, Donatus Vetsch and Bpb Braun. Council member Don Cornelius was absent. Others present included Maureen Andrews, Barry Johnson, Gary Meyer and Ken Lindsay. There was a motion made to approve the agenda. The motion was made by Bob Braun and seconded by Gary Schwenzfeier. All were in favor and the motion carried. There was motion to approve the minutes of the February 2, 1987 meeting. The motion was made by Gary Schwenzfeier and seconded by Donatus Vetsch. All were in favor and the motion passed. Gary Shcwenzfeier and Jim Walsh updated the Council on the meeting of the Joint Powers Board. Items discussed included: 1. A request to have Meyer-Rohlin update the City map showing all shut- offs, water main location and valves on one map which could be forwarded to Joint Powers. _ 2. A question was raised regarding Meyer-Rohlin having orginal maps of the water system. 3. The next item discussed was the change being requested by Hanover re- garding the possible shortfall of operating dollars and how each of the four cities/township would be responsible for making up the possible shortfall. Gary Schwenzfeier pointed out that the Hanover concern would not likely happen because of the increase in rates charged. He suggested that if it is poosible that the rate increase would not make up for any shortfalls then why was it approved. It was agreed on by the Council that the Hanover change goes against the general principal of the orginal operating agreement and therefore the City of Albertville can not vote for its approval. The Albertville Council representatives both feel that it is not likely that the Board will be faced with a shortfall but feel that the City can not be willing to take a chance on it occurring. It was then pointed out that St. Michael could be adding an additional clause if the Hanover amendment is approved by the Board. The additional clause had something to do with if a shortfall did arise and additional money would have to be kicked in that the two cities supporting the largest part of the contribution would be repaid first out of future excess funds. It was Gary Meyer's recommendation that the Albertville representatives be directed on how they vote the resolution. In addition it was questioned who authorized the payment for G. Hoff's time to prepare the additional change. Make our City........ Your City We invite Home, Industry, Business COUNCIL MINUTES PAGE 2 At the end of the discussion the following motion was made: That in specifically review subdivision 3 presented by Hanover the Council of Albertville is directing the representatives to the Joint Powers Board vote to deny the amendment change. The motion was made by Bob Braun and seconded by Donatus Vetsch. All were in favor and the motion carried. The income recieved and bills to be paid where reviewed by the Council. There was some discussion regarding the payment of the Clinic bond. Maureen was directed to send a letter to Mr. Steven Bresnehan regarding the payment along with a copy to Dr, David Ehlenz. It was decided that the payment of the Clinic bond would be held until the City recieved payment from Buffalo Memorial Hospital. There was a motion to pay all bills, except the Clinic bond until payment was recieved. The motion was made by Gary Schwenzfeier and seconded by Donatus Vetsch. All were in favor and checks 7732 to 7754 were approved. Maureen asked for clearification regarding the Clinic bond check and if it could be paid if the City recieved the money. The Council said that was fine as long as we had the money. The City had recieved information regarding the Statewide Tornado Awareness week in March. There was a motion that the City take part in the mock tornado drill on Wednesday, March 18th. The motion was made by Donatus Vetsch and seconded by Gary Schwenzfeier. All were in favor and the motion carried. The Council's packets included information on several workshops /training sessions. Gary Schwenzfeier indicated interest in attending the session on Public Policy in Emergency Management and the one on Local Government Forum. Donatus thought that he might be able to attend the seesion on Local Govenment if he was able to get off work. Bob Braun said that he would take the information to the Fire Department relating to Anhydrous Ammonia Workshop to see if there was any interest in attending. No formal action was taken on any of the conferences at this time. THe Council was informed that there were three people who had indicated interest in serving on the Planning Commission at this time. After some discussion it was decided that Maureen should prepare an application of sorts asking why the person is interest ing serving on the Planning commission and what type of background did have that would relate to the board. In addition, the letter was to invite them to meet with the Council to discuss what all is involved in serving on the Planning Commission. There were several questions poised to Gary Meyer regarding liquor licenses. First of all it was decided that Bill Hiedelberger needed to sign the transfer of the license from Hiedelberg Inn to Ronay's on Main. It was pointed out that Bill had not paid the second half of the 1986-87 ligour license. It was suggested that the approval of the transfer should be delayed until some of the questions were cleared up and the payment for licenses was made. If things were not cleared up by the March 2nd meeting the Council CUUNCIL MINUIES PAGE 3 felt that they would have to look at suspending the license for Ronay's on Main. Mr. Marvin Vetsch was present to discuss with the Council the buying of the Albertville Bar. There had been some discussion relating to his closing date which was orginally set for after the 15th of April at which time of licenses have to be approved, instead the closing date has been moved up to simplify the license transfers. There were some question regarding the transfet of the licenses maded out to the Albertville Bar as of January 1, 1987. Gary Meyer told the Council that he did not feel that there was any problem with transfering them to the new owner. The only other question poised was that regarding the Jaycees' lease for selling pull tabs. Marvin was informed that he should get back to the Council once he has worked something out with the organization. Ken Lindsay was present to inform the Council that the sewer line cleaning of the Barthel Industrial Park line had been completed and that a lot of gravel had been in the line. He also let the Council know that the lift station had been cleaned as well. There was then a discussion regarding the steering in the snow plow vehicle. Ken and Gary Schwenzfeier had looked into having the steering replaced our rebuilt. If the Council went with replacing the equipment it would run about $1,500.00 and if it was rebuilt it would run about $880.00. It was decided that steering should be rebuilt at this time. The Council's packets included information relating to membership to MN Rural Water Association. It was agreed that the City not become a member, but that Gary should take the information to the next Joint Powers meeting. Barry Johnson reviewed with the Council his concerns regarding a weight restriction ordinance. Some of the items he pointed out where problems with enforcement, that new construction is a basic industry in Ablertville, but that the largest degree of demage is done by overwieght vehicles on local streets. It was suggested that a better proposal could be establishing a truck route for the vechiles to use. The Council was also informed that the County believes that the City signs stating no trucks is not clear enough and does define what truck is. It was suggested that we check with the Councty to see what they would feel comfortable enforcing (Co. Attorney's office). Barry futher pointed out that the streets he is the most concerned about are the new streets with only one lift of black top. He want to protect these streets as much as possible so that Buffalo Bituminous can come back to the Council and say that any demage to the backtop was done by local contractor therefore not making them responsible for any repairs. It was then decided that at the time that a building permit was issued the City would attach a map indicating which route should be followed in making deliveries. In addition it was decided t hat a letter should be prepared for developers asking for their assistants in getting thru the COUNCIL MINUTES PAGE 4 spring thaw. The other issues brought up under engineering included puuting gravel in by Cathy Carron's on the corner of Lander and 55th Street. Barry told the Council that he had asked LaTour to get some Class 5 in to where they had to dig up to make the sewer connection. There was some discussion regarding Doup Psyk's request to put gravel in up to the new house his is building on the south end of Lander. Barry reminded the Council that he had had LaTour use the extra gravel last fall in the same area and that if additional gravel is brought in it will be wasted because it will not be able to be reused once the subgrading is done. Barry also explained to the Council that if the Council did decide that the gravel should go it it would have to come out of the general fund because there are not enough funds left for the extra gravel. It was decided that the City would not put the gravel in at this time, Barry agreed that he would talk to Doug about the reasons why. Gary Shcwenzfeier brought up the problem there has been getting Doug to follow the sewer dig -in ordinance. It was agreed by the Council that if another violation occurs the fine will be imposed. In another point related to sewer dig -ins but not directly related to Doug Psyk, Ken suggested that the Council consider increasing the charge for sewer inspections. No action was taken at this time. The Council reviewed the zoning appilication for a day Care license for Dianne Youngdahl. There were not problems with the zoning so no action was taken. The Council was informed that Jones Intercable was giving them an opportuntiy to meet with them and discuss the transfer of the cable system. There was a motion made by Gary Schwenzfeier and a second by Bob Braun to have a representative of Jones Intercable at the next meeting so that the Council could decide if they would like to have a public hearing on the transfer. The following building permtis were approved: Permit #1 for Leonard Tallman for a new home at 5555 Lake Ave. -- The motion was made by Donatus Vetsch and seconded by Gary Schwenzfeier. All were in favor and the motion carried pending payment of permit. Permit #2 for Mike Van DeBerg for an addition at 11387 54th Street -- The motion was made by Bob Braun and seconded by Donatus Vetsch' :to approve the building permit pending payment. All were in favor. Permit #3 for Barthel Construction for a new home on 5155 Lannon Ave -- The motin was made by Gary Schwenzfeier and seconded by Donatus Vetsch to approve the building permit pending payment.

Donatus Vetsch asked about burning of the field behind Ronay's on Main he agreed to check with .dim Hennum to see if we can get the approval to burn the weeds and brush'. There was more discussion regarding the PPM water discharge. Maureen is to arrange that David Smith and a water tower expert be at one of the upcoming meetings. It was explained to the Council that Gary Schwenzfeier had talked to Mr. Smith about the problem and felt that did not need to be at the meeting. There was no other business so there was a motion to adjourn. The motion was made by Bob Braun and seconded by Gary Schwenzfeier. All were in favor and the motion carried. —taLL_t1��► ADDITIONAL COUNCIL ITEMS 1.

Your City We invite Home, Industry, Business DIVISION OF EMERGENCY SERVICES 65 - STATE CAPITOL (612) 296-2233 STATE OF MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY February 6, 1987 SAINT PAUL 55155 TO: Emergency Services Regional Program Coordinators County Emergency Management Directors Governor Rudy Perpich has proclaimed the week of March 15-21, 1987, to be "Tornado Awareness Week" in Minnesota. With this proclamation, the state Division of Emergen- cy Services, the National Weather Service, and the American Red Cross will be con- tinuing their efforts to better inform the public on the dangers of tornados and se- vere thunderstorms. Close cooperation among emergency management organizations, school districts, health care centers and the local news media in its coverage of the events, will make this campaign successful. The seventh annual statewide tornado drill will be conducted on Thursday, March 19, 1987, as a part of awareness week activities. This year's drill will be somewhat different from previous years in that along with the statewide quarterly Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) test, the schedule has been adjusted so that local governments may conduct an exercise in conjunction with the tornado drill. The schedule that will be followed is attached to this letter for your information. Your attention is called to the time in which all communities are asked to activate their warning sirens which is 1:21 to coincide with the quarterly EBS test. Participation in the annual drill by local government has been excellent and we strongly recommend that this active participation continue. Emergency management di- rectors should contact other local institutions/agencies and encourage participation in the drill. To support this, letters have been sent to schools, health care orga- nizations and some businesses, which included severe thunderstorm safety rules, the drill schedule and a copy of the questionnaire for them to complete. You are well aware that these types of preparedness activities can effectively reduce any losses should a tornado or severe weather actually strike. Your continued sup- port for this activity is greatly a-ppreciated.

The politics of today and the future for small water systems demand the help of many people. We have battled to keep and we will no doubt have to keep fighting for, the FmHA Loan and Grant program that has helped build many water and waste water systems in Minnesota. You and I as rural Americans are going to have to get involved. This is one of many concerns that we keep monitoring and bring to your attention so that together we can approach these items of concern and win the battle. The services that we provide to you are on -site assistance to your personnel, help on budgets, water rates, maintenance programs, annual Water Follies, unbiased information presented at your council meetings, magazine to all Mayors, Clerks, Operators, Utility Superintendents, monitoring legislation on the State level, member of National Rural Water Association (legislation on the National level), one day training sessions, and promotion of funding for water projects. There is no charge for these services. With the funding we receive, we cannot use any of that money for equipment to better serve your needs, or legislative concerns. This is what we depend so greatly on membership money for. It is with this I ask for your support. Lets all join together in the battle. Together we can make a difference; a big difference.

Morning Session Every wastewater collection and treatment facility needs a comprehensive safety program to protect its staff, facilities and the public. However, the best safety program is probably not prepared to deal with the unexpected leaks, spills and discharges of hazardous material and wastes into the collectiou'system. This material can put the public and facility staff at great risk. Also, collection and treatment facility staff are protected by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) "Right -to -Know" Act. How effective has this Act been? This session will begin with presentations to show how others are dealing with both situations. Attendees will then, in an informal workshop format, discuss their concerns and ask the speakers questions. WORKSHOP TOPICS: - Hazardous material versus hazardous waste - Hazardous material in wastewater - What industries have done to reduce hazardous waste discharges - Overview of the "Right -to -Know" Act- - Practical implementation of "Right -to -Know" act requirements at municipal -'and industrial facilities' Afternoon Session On July 1, 1988, the federally mandated compliance for effluent requirements must be met with or without grant funding. Facing this challenge is a major concern of municipal officials, private industry and regulatory agencies. The workshop format will allow attendees to hear about how others are planning to meet the deadline. They will then have an opportunity to discuss their concerns and a'sk questions of a pz,nel consisting of the speakers and .other professionals. WORKSHOP TOPICS: - Minnesota Pollution Control affects you - Recommendations for changes standards made by the newly Advisory Committee - Wisconsin, a state that has final effluent limitations Agency persp� tive and how the law in the grants program and stream formed Legislative Technical already achieved 90% compliance with - Maximizing efficiency and the useful life of existing wastewater treatment facilities ('itv of Albertville CnMPARATTVF STATFMFNT nF RFVFNIIFS ANn FXPFNnTTI)RFS GFNFRAI FtJN(1 For the PPrind Fndpd NnvPmhPr 30, 1986 rl,JRRFNT MnNTH 5; YFAR Tn nATF RFVFNIIFS ---------------------- ---------------------- General Tax I„evv $ 0 00 o.on $ ?1;977.16 19.75 Homestead Credit 0 no 0.00 R;078 2A 7.26 tonal Gov't Aid 0 on n.on ?5,15o.5n 22.6n Revenue Sharing 0.no n.on 14,n89.00 12.66 nthe.r State.

This initiative is largely supported by the McXnight Foundation. GRANT AWARDED U.S POSTAGE PAID Permit No.32 Little Fells, MN 56345 The Central Minnesota Initiative Fund is pleased to announce funding of a grant in the amount of $6,969 to the Wadena Soil and Water Conservation District for a project entitled Conservation Tillage of the Future. This project is a comprehensive education and assistance program for farmers in Wadena County. Extensive technical advice and the use of a no -till drill on 4 shared basis will assist farmers and other landowners in better soil management practices. In addition, demonstrations will be conducted for landowners and county officials in three adjacent counties as a way to share information and work together. The Fund's Board of Directors is committed to helping the agriculture sector explore ways, through innovative and cooperative efforts, to most effectively manage the changing environment and strengthen the local economy. ATTENTION INVENTORS The Central Minnesota Initiative Fund is considering a project to identify inventors and manufacturers in Central Minnesota who are interested in bridging the communication gap that currently exists between the inventor of a new product idea and the many potential manufacturers that do business in the area. We believe that there are many individuals with very good ideas and many willing manufacturers that together offer considerable potential for strengthening the local economy. It is our goal to locate persons that are interested in discussing this concept further and to bring them together for a meeting. If you or someone you know is interested in working with us on this project please contact the office so that we can get your name, address and phone number. We will schedule a meeting sometime after March 1, 1987. NEW STAFF The Central Minnesota Initiative Fund is pleased to announce that Earl Eames will be joining the staff as the Loan Fund Manager on February 1 and Dan Boerner will be joining us as the Program Manager in mid -February. INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS The Central Minnesota Initiative Fund will be holding its second round of Informational Meetings during the month of March. The purpose of the meetings will be to explain the Fund's programs and activities and to introduce two new staff members. After the presentations there will be time for potential applicants to meet individually with staff members to discuss projects. The schedule for the informational meetings is as follows: County Day, Time Place Cass March 16 9:30 a.m. City Hall, Pine River Crow Wing March 16 2:00 p.m. Library, Crosby Chisago March 17 9:30 a.m. Municipal Building, Rush City Pine March 17 2:00 p.m. Trinity Lutheran Church, Bruno Isanti March 18 9:30 a.m. East Cen.

The three communities, located on or near the south shore of Lake Mille Lacs in Central Minnesota, have joined forces to form the Mille Lacs Area Community Development Corporation (Mille Lacs Area CDC). During the Fall of 1986 the three communities pledged a total of $13,500-- all from clubs or individual --which led to securing an additional $20,000 from the State of Minnesota Department of Energy and Economic Development (DEED). The Mille Lacs Area CDC s main goal at this time is to use a major portion of the $33,500 to hire an Economic Coordinator. The Mille Lacs Area CDC project grew out of the Onamia Development Commission work during the summer of 1986. After receiving technical assistance from Minnesota's DEED office, Onamia took a long, hard look at the assets and constraints of the area. The Commission came to the conclusion that any significant economic impact would have to come from area -wide efforts and thus decided to contact nearby communities. A lot of hard work lies ahead: a corporation must be formed, a board of directors named, officers elected and an Economic Coordinator hired, etc. Nevertheless, these three small communities have pledged money and time to work together in a way they never have before --and that in itself is a giant step forward. Note: This article was written by Mary Holbrook from Onamia, and is an excellent example of how communities can work together to solve local problems. Please send us information and articles that you helpful to share with others. think may be BLANDIN LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS AVAILABLE communities throughout Minnesota The Blandin Foundation's Community Leadership Program is now available to Iron .

This represents a 1.5 percent reduction in 1987 LGA payments. Under current law, the 1987 LGA allocation is supposed to be $324 million, up 4.2 percent from the previous year's allocation. The governor's proposal would reduce it to $319 million and freeze it at that lower level for 1988. If the Legislature accepts this recommendation, the LGA payments initially affected by the reduction would be those due to be paid cities on July 15, 1987 and December 15, 1987. The intention of the proposal is to uniformly reduce LGA payments to cities and other units of local government. In other words, each city, county, or township receiving LGA would have their total 1987 LGA allocation cut by 1.5 percent. The LGA amounts to be paid each local unit of government were certified in an August 8, 1986 letter sent to municipalities from the Revenue Department. Cities planned their 1987 budgets and levies based on this commitment of funds. Considering levy limits and their lack of revenue -raising ability, most cities will not have the resources to make up for this LGA reduction. The League opposes this cut. Please contact your senators and representatives and urge them to reject this cut in LGA. Also urge them to oppose the governor's proposal to freeze LGA at the reduced level of $319 million for 1988. TRANSFER OF PEACE OFFICERS' TRAINING FUNDS On Tuesday, February 2, the Senate Judiciary heard S.F. 152 (Lantry) which would take money from the peace officers training account and use it to fund grants to local law enforcement agencies for the purpose of providing emergency assistance to crime victims. The bill was not voted out and is scheduled for further hearings. The League has not taken a position on this bill which is apparently supported by the law enforcement community. The question in our minds is whether our member cities are receiving sufficient state financial assistance for peace officer training. If cities are having problems getting or keeping their officers trained it would seem that the amount of aid should be increased rather than divert those funds to a new program. If, however, the state financial assistance has been adequate, there doesn't appear to be any reason for the League to oppose the creation of the crime victims fund. Please contact Stan Peskar or Joel Jamnik at the League if your city has experienced financial difficulty in the area of peace officer training. W- 2 0 STATE ASSOCIATIONS TESTIFY BEFORE SENATE On Thursday, February 5 the League of Minnesota Association of Metropolitan Municipalities gave and Urban Government committee a brief overview associations do for their members and what they legislation this session. Cities and the the Senate Local of what the are proposing for Don Slater testified for the League and Vern Peterson testified for the AMM. Our presentations followed the county association's presentation earlier this week. The Municipal Board and the Minnesota Association of Township Officers are scheduled to testify early next week. Their presentations should conclude, for the most part, the committee's orientation process and the committee will then turn its attention to individual legislative proposals. The committee seemed highly interested in the proposals of the associations, particularly as they relate to small cities in the state. Issue areas receiving extended attention included the open meeting law, green acres tax deferrals, waste water treatment financing, and veterans' preference discharge and discipline. MORE INFORMATION ON GOVERNOR'S PROPERTY TAX REFORM PROPOSAL Last week's issue of the Cities Bulletin reported on the Governor Perpich's proposed property tax reform plan. We now have more details about the plan. Classification changes. In general, the proposal would dramatically reduce the number of property classifications, from 68 to 5. For some communities, these new classifications alone could mean a substantial increase in property tax burdens for homesteads and some decrease in commercial/industrial property taxes. However, these effects can vary significantly from community to community depending upon the mix of property within each taxing jurisdiction. The governor's plan suggests that, to a certain extent, the local discretionary authority over allocation of the new "Education Credit" could temper large shifts in burdens. Education credit. Another feature affecting relative tax burdens among properties is the governor's plan to consolidate all property tax credits and local government aids into one "Education Credit." Although the governor has characterized this credit as a new commitment to education, in fact, it merely rearranges existing property tax relief programs and funds them at a lower level. The new Education Credit would be funded at a level approximately $200 - $250 million lower (over the biennium) than the projected cost of the current combination of credits and aids. This represents about a 10 percent reduction in current property tax relief funding. In the long run, since this credit will be subject to an annual appropriation (unlike current credits), there is the clear intention of reducing overall property tax relief funding. Property tax burdens statewide will thus rise. W-3 In general, the mechanics of the proposal would work as follows: The county auditor would sum up the existing package of LGA, homestead credit, and other aids and credits, and designate it as the Education Credit. Within the county, the credit would be individually calculated for each municipality and would thus vary from one city to another, depending, for example, on the amount of LGA each city receives. The value of the credit would be converted into a mill rate reduction for nearly all property (except property in tax increment districts) in the taxing jurisdiction. While the revenue department claims that this credit is purely an education credit that would be applied only against the school levy, this is a somewhat misleading description. According to the revenue department's own estimates, the Education Credit will exceed the school mill rate in approximately 75 school districts; in these cases, the excess credit is to be applied against the county levy. Formula allocation. In last week's Bulletin, we reported that funding for all taxing jurisdictions under the Education Credit would be "grandfathered" in the first year of implementation (1988). That is, the funding for the Education Credit would be distributed in the same manner as all credits and aids are distributed in 1987. However, in future years, assuming funding for the credit might be increased, new monies would be distributed half on a per capita basis and half on a sales tax point -of -origin basis. This formula change represents a fundamental alteration in the distribution of property tax relief funds. Significant changes in the allocation of property tax relief funds among cities would result. The losers under the formula are likely to be cities with lower populations and cities with lower -than -average commercial and retail sales activities. LEGISLATIVE LEADERS REACT TO GOVERNOR'S PROPERTY TAX PLAN Reps. Bill Schreiber (House Minority Leader) and Gordon Voss (House Tax Committee Chair) last week addressed a conference on "Taxes and Minnesota's Future," sponsored by the University of Minnesota. Both legislative leaders spoke about the property tax reform issue and commented on the governor's proposal. Schreiber said the governor's plan "does not adequately address who pays for what." He asserted that the state's role in providing services must be sorted out from the roles of cities and counties. Although he said he believes that the state should focus on providing property tax relief for education costs and welfare costs, Schreiber said that most city services should be largely local decisions supported by local taxes. He also indicated that the proposed property tax reforms must be analyzed in their entirety, including the potential effects on individual communities of proposed changes in the school foundation aid formula. He added that although the governor's plan has not been warmly embraced, it W-4 at least represents a starting point. "It would be tragic", he stated, "if this Legislature did not deal with property tax reform, and the governor should keep us there until we do." For his part, Rep. Voss said the House Tax Committee intends to make a major effort at restructuring our property tax system. However, he warned that he would not favor reforms which will ultimately increase the state's reliance on property taxes. In particular, he noted that the governor's proposals to change the school aid formula and impose the sales tax on local governments could lead to increased property taxes. Indicating his general Opposition to increasing taxes on homeowners, Voss said, "I am nervous that the total effect (of the governor's proposal) is a several hundred million dollar increase in property taxes... This would not be in the state's best interest." In opposing the governor's suggestion that communities be given local control over allocation the Education Credit, Voss indicated that this proposal would likely to lead to "destructive competition among communities." The conference, attended by many of the key legislative decisionmakers on tax policy, also heard a presentation by Dr. Julia Friedman of Macalester College. Friedman argued that while the state should subsidize local welfare and education costs, it generally should not subsidize most of the services provided by cities, such as street maintenance, police and fire protection. She argued that education and welfare have public service "spillover" effects (i.e., benefiting more than just the local community), but most city services do not. Dr. Friedman did state that when the local tax capacity is inadequate to provide an acceptable level of local services, then it is appropriate for the state to transfer funds to local units of government. S-1 Summaries of bills COURTS Director's civil liability. S.F. 204 (Reichgott, R.

R_ejfulation of lawful gambling. S.F. 192 (Lessard, Bertram, Wegscheid) (General Legislation & Public Gaming) would prohibit licensing organizations or individuals who have employees S-3 authorized to make sales who have felony convictions, gambling -related convictions, or who have engaged in illegal business.

It would prohibit lessors of lawful gambling premises and their agents from having any interest in lawful gambling and require all lawful gambling expenditures to be itemized. It would allow the use of 55 percent (now 50 percent) of bingo profits and 45 percent (now 40 percent of other lawful gambling profits for necessary expenses.

The bill would create an exception to the Minnesota Open Meeting Law for times when the town board members gather to perform on -site inspections if they are acting essentially in a staff capacity, and would grant the authority to town boards to appropriate necessary funds to provide for membership in educational and civic associations. TRANSPORTATION Operation of snowmobiles. S.F. 183 (Samuelson, Willet, Stumpf, Dicklich, D.J.

The funds from the bonds would be distributed to political subdivisions of the state with maximum amounts to be distributed to each set out in the final act. F-1 `Federal update HOUSE -SENATE ACTION ON HIGHWAY/TRANSIT REAUTHORIZATION The Senate has now joined the U.S. House of Representatives in approving reauthorization of the highway and transit programs for 1987-91. All members of the Minnesota congressional delegation voted in support of the measures which will now be the subject of House Senate conference committee deliberations and final congressional action, hopefully within the month. Results of surveys conducted by the Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials show that Minnesota may suffer delays on as much as $115 million in highway projects that could be let for bids now if funding was available. As much as $200 million is anticipated for this year's highway construction if reauthorization is approved at levels approved by the House. According to state transportation officials, there is a zero balance in the Minnesota Interstate Completion Fund at present. Therefore, the most immediate and largest impact of a vote to reauthorize the program will be on projects in that category, including construction of I-35W in Duluth and I-394 in the Metro area. Other important projects for which funding is needed include the Route 115 Charles Bridge Replacement, plus authorization for spending on some 75 bridge repair contracts where bids are already prepared for contractors. Minnesota's expected share of bridge replacement funds would make possible construction on as many as 225 bridges this year if congressional action comes soon enough to permit construction this season. Other important highway projects include those in the Interstate 4R, primary, and interstate substitution categories. The critical issue is timing. Minnesota's shorter construction season means that contracts must be signed and work begun on a schedule that demands early availability of federal revenues and authorization to spend. The House reauthorized the Interstate 4R, primary, secondary, and urban system highways, approved the Interstate Cost Estimate (ICE) and Interstate Substitute Cost Estimate (ISCE) for 1988, and authorized the construction of the interstate highway system through 1993. The Senate made final approval of S. 185 on a vote of 92-8, on Wednesday, February 4, two weeks after House action. S. 185 authorizes $13.24 billion for FFY187 funding for highway programs and sets a highway obligation ceiling of $12.35 billion for this year. (That contrasts with the House ceiling of $14 billion.) The Senate bill consolidates the Interstate 4R and primary categories but also continues the minimum half -percent funding of the interstate system. F-2 The legislation also contains 40 demonstration projects, with more expected to be added on the Senate floor. (The House bill contains funding for 81 such projects with a price tag of $1.2 billion.) The Senate proposal requires that funding for such projects come from the state's regular apportionment from the Highway Trust Fund. Both House and Senate legislation also contain provisions reauthorizing transit programs. Senate provisions would make changes in the methods of financing new transit spending by Proposing to "blend" funding of costs that exceed $1 billion, by requiring that both Section 3 discretionary and Section 9 formula programs be funded from the same total appropriation. Beginning in fiscal 1988, 70 percent of such funds would be allocated to formula grants, 30 percent for discretionary grants. As reported by NLC, this proposal would, in effect, freeze spending for transit at current (FY'87) levels. As indicated above, differences between the House and Senate versions of highway and transit funding will be resolved in conference committee. Congress has recessed for a week -and -a -half for President's Day, beginning Feb. 5. The House and Senate will reconvene after the holiday so a final vote on reauthorization will not likely come until the end of the month.

Provided, however, that the sum of $40,000.00 may be used from the said surplus account for payment in 1987 of partial costs of construction of a new supplemental well known as well no. 2, in accordance with engineering recommendations. Subd. 2.

Box 131 Albertville, MN 55301 Re: Cable Television Extension Permit for the City of Albertville (the "Extension Permit") Gentlemen: This letter will serve as a follow-up to a letter dated January 26, 1987 from the Rite Cable Company of Minnesota, Ltd., a Minnesota limited partnership ("Rite") and will serve to confirm that Jones Intercable, Inc., a Colorado corporation and/or one or more of its affiliates ("Jones") has agreed to purchase a cable television system of Rite. The cable television system is located in and around the communities of Albertville, Big Lake, City of Buffalo, Cokato, Dayton, Dassel, Delano, Elk River, Maple Lake, City of Monticello, Monticello Township, Otsego Township, Rockford, St. Michael and Watertown, all in the State of Minnesota. This transaction will include the above -captioned Extension Permit which will be assigned, effective at the closing to Jones whose address is 9697 East Mineral Avenue, Englewood, Colorado, 80112, phone number (303) 792-3111. In the letter of January 26, 1987, Rite Cable indicated that you would not be required to take any formal action to transfer the franchise from Rite to Jones. In reviewing this further, however, your approval may, in fact, be necessary. Perhaps more importantly, we believe it is important that you have a full and complete understanding of the qualifications of Jones. 9697 E. Mineral Avenue, Englewood, Colorado 80112 303/792-3111 City Administrator City of Albertville February 11, 1987 Page Two It is our request that after you ask whatever questions you might have, that you will approve, by ordinance or resolution, as applicable, the transfer of the Extension Permit granted to Rite. Under Minnesota law the City is required to reply in writing within thirty (30) days of this request and indicate either your approval of this request or your determination that a public hearing is necessary if you determine that a sale or transfer of the franchise may adversely affect the subscribers. The State Statute requires that notice of such hearing be published at least fourteen (14) days in advance of the hearing date. A representative of Jones will be contacting you shortly to provide any additional information or to answer any questions that you might have. In the meantime, should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Barbara Hyndman, Contract Specialist, (303) 792-3111. We look forward to providing service to your residents and becom' -important member of your community. Thank you for cooperation. Very tr y yours, Charles P.

Minnesota Rule 1320.2001 ANSI A17.1, Rule 2000, which deals with inclined and vertical wheelchair lifts, was amended during the notice and comment period of the rule adoption process. The rule now states that wheelchair lifts do not meet the accessibility requirements contained in Chapter 1340 dealing with access for the physically handicapped. PUNITIVE DAMAGES BILL HEARD AGAIN IN SENATE JUDICIARY In committee hearings on SF 53, once again many questions were raised about standards for levying punitive damages and standards for indemnifying city officials charged with punitive damages. Committee members were unable to come to any resolution on the bill after more than 45 minutes of discussion. It was again laid on the table to give authors and supporters an opportunity to clarify the bill's language. League staff will continue to monitor and apprise city officials of the progress of this bill. LEAGUE TESTIFIES ON GOVERNOR'S PROPERTY TAX PLAN On February 13, the League presented testimony before the House Taxes Committee on the governor's property reform tax plan. The key point:3 made in the testimony included: * League opposes elimination of LGA. The governor's proposal to eliminate LGA and replace it with an Education Credit represents an end to the state's long-standing role in providing property tax relief for municipal services. The state has a legitimate and important role to play in providing financial assistance to cities. Cities differ greatly in their needs and abilities to meet those needs. A special program, like LGA, which recognizes such differences is essential. Without LGA, mill rate disparities among cities will widen considerably. The proposed Education Credit will not recognize differing needs nor will it equalize tax base disparities, especially since its future allocation formula would be based on per -capita and sales tax point of origin factors. Smaller cities with little commercial activity would clearly suffer. Given the inequitable distribution of funds that could occur under such a formula, the local authority's discretion for allocating the credit will likely lead to unfair and unhealthy competition among cities. W-2 * League supports simplification efforts, removal of levy limits. The League will support efforts to simplify the property tax classification structure. However, this should be achieved by avoiding any substantial shifts of tax burdens among classes of property. Large increases in property taxes for homesteads and commercial/industrial property (particularly smaller businesses) should be avoided. * Governor's proposal would increase property tax burdens. The governor recommends substantial cuts in property tax relief funding. For cities, such state reductions would come on top of large federal funding cuts, including the loss of $40 million a year in federal general revenue sharing. The property tax relief funding cuts include nearly a $5 million cut in 1987 LGA (for which cities have already budgeted and levied); a $120 million reduction over the biennium in projected costs of property tax credits and local government aid; and a $126 million cut in the renters' credit and refund program. Imposition of the sales tax on local government purchases is at least a $93 million local property tax increase ($26 million of which is likely to fall on cities). * The current property tax system of aids and credits does not provide excessive property tax relief to cities nor does it stimulate city spending and taxes. LGA, which provides nearly 70 percent of the total property tax relief for cities, is not funded through an open-ended formula, rather it is subject to the annual appropriations process. After adjusting for inflation, funding for LGA was no higher in 1986 than it was in 1979-80, before the large LGA cuts made in 1981 and 1982. Similarly, city spending in 1985 (the latest available data) is at the same level that it was in 1980, after adjusting for inflation. In assessing the current system of aids and credits, it is helpful to focus on just how the current system distributes property tax relief among the various taxing jurisdictions --schools, counties, cities and townships. Schools currently absorb over half, 55 to 57 percent, of all state -financed aids and property tax credits. Largely due to the loss of federal assistance, city taxes have been rising at almost twice the rate of city spending. Over the 1980-85 period, net city taxes (after credits) rose 59 percent while city spending rose only 31 percent. This pattern persists today. The League recently conducted a City Budget Survey which indicates that in 1987, city taxes are rising 7.9 percent while city spending is rising only 3.9 percent. Furthermore, cities must depend upon their own sources of revenue (primarily property taxes) for 62 percent of their revenue. This W-3 is a higher proportion than for other units of local government. For example, according to 1984 State Auditor's data, schools depend on own -source revenue for only 44 percent of their total revenue. Cities' dependence on own -source revenue has been rapidly escalating since 1980 as federal aid has declined and state aid has failed to fill the gap. LEGISLATURE BEGINS TO REACT TO GOVERNOR'S PLAN The reaction of most key legislators to the governor's plan has been quite negative. Both Tax Chairmen, Sen. Doug Johnson and Rep. Voss, have criticized the proposal. Nevertheless, they have made it clear that they intend to pursue major reforms. Sen. Johnson finds the increases in tax burdens for lowand moderate -valued homes and for small businesses to be unacceptable. He was quoted in the St. Paul Pioneer Press -Dispatch as saying, "The governor is on the right track in trying to control state expenditures on property tax relief, in trying to make local governments more accountable for local taxes, and in reducing the number of classifications.... But his plan shifts too much of the tax burden." Johnson indicated his intention is to work toward the governor's goals but redesign the program. Similarly, Rep. Voss has criticized the governor's proposal for widening the gap between rich'and poor communities. Voss predicted that the proposal would be "seriously revised" by the Legislature. In particular, Voss cited the "intolerable" disparities in tax burdens between taxpayers that would result from the plan. The local discretion option for the Education Credit seems to be opposed by both leaders. In addition, both Voss and Johnson have indicated interest in picking up the costs of welfare in some counties where such costs are a burden. It seems unlikely at this juncture that property tax relief programs will be increased substantially. We will be lucky to avoid large reductions. The budget situation is obviously tight and could be even tighter once the March revenue projections are released. Any increased property tax relief funding will have to come from either increased income or sales taxes, or from budget reductions elsewhere. The governor's proposal to reduce the renters' credit/refund program was to save $126 million over the biennium; this proposal is likely to be rejected, making the property tax relief funding situation even tighter. LEAGUE'S TECHNICAL COMMITTEE The League's Technical Committee on Property Tax Reform has been meeting every two weeks to review pending proposals. Last week, committee members expressed their reservations about the governor's plan in a meeting with revenue commissioner Tom Triplett and W-4 assistant commissioner John Haynes. Next week, the committee will begin discussing specific options for reform that the League may be able to endorse. EFFECTS OF GOVERNOR'S TAX PLAN ON CITIES ESTIMATED Governor Perpich's plan to reform the property tax system involves consolidating all property into five classifications. The Department of Revenue has estimated the impacts of these changes on properties in selected cities. (See Table on page W-5.) The analysis was done for the Minnesota Senate Research staff. No computer run illustating the effects on all cities is yet available. The percent changes for any specific property are determined by the specific property -type make-up of each city. These estimates of property tax changes for payable 1987 are likely to underestimate the full impact of the reform for payable 1988 taxes (the year the changes are to take effect). This under -estimate occurs because the analysis does not consider the probable levy increases that would occur in 1988. The estimates assume that the local option of shifting the credit among classes is not exercised by any of the individual cities. Analyses done on a countywide basis show that taxes on all homestead residential property would increase in 38 counties, decrease in 48 counties, and remain constant in one. The overall average of taxes on commercial/industrial property would increase in 12 counties and decrease in 75 counties. These averages do not indicate the specific increases and decreases on properties in each city within the county.

F-1 Federal update Action Alert URGE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO FREE FEDERAL HIGHWAY AND TRANSIT FUNDS Cities face the prospect of long delays in the construction of vitally needed roads, bridges and access to transit funds unless Congress acts soon to reauthorize the Surface Transportation Assistance Act. The National League of Cities has already sent material detailing critical issues for cities to daily newspaper editors, including those in Austin, Brainerd, Duluth, Fairmont, Faribault, Fergus Falls, Hibbing, Mankato, Marshall, Minneapolis, New Ulm, Owatonna, Red Wing, Rochester, St. Cloud, St. Paul, Virginia, Winona, and Worthington. Officials newspaper and trans action on 185 after are strongly urged to follow up with local daily editors toprovide-information on affected local highway t_projects_and_to urge_editorial support for immediate the _legislation_when Congress� _resumes sessionFeb._17 or the current recess. (See Cities Bulletin, Number 5, January 31-Feb. 6, 1987.) In addition contact our congressmen and Senators Boschwitz and Durenberger to_u_rg_e them to _make_ this a and to urge Sena_tean_d_ House conference_ members have not yet been appointed as o differences in the two bills passed earl a reauthorization bill immediately _after Additional issues to be opposed matter of highest priorit committee members (House 2/11) to resolve the er in order to vote out the current recess. An added concern is the reported efforts by some state highway officials from across the nation to revive a 1985 proposal from the Urban Mass Transit Association and Amercian Association of State Highway and Transit Officials (AASHTO) for state transportation department administration of Section 9 transit programs for cities under 200,000 population. Under this proposal made recently to Senate members of the conference committee on transportation act reauthorization, states would directly administer such funds for smaller, non -metropolitan cities. Raising a controversial issue of this kind in the conference committee is sure to further delay the final adoption of the needed reauthorization legislation. This provision has not been the subject of previous mutual consent on the part of smaller cities with state transportation departments. Members of the Minnesota cong.�essional delegation should be urged to reject it as an unnecessary addition to the pending legislation now in conference. F-2 Construction projects at risk At stake in Minnesota are some $200 million in highway construction projects, including $120 million in interstate highway completion projects. There is a zero balance in the state's Interstate Completion Fund. Also affected are 4R Primary, bridge and interstate substitution categories. Some 75 bridge repair projects would be among those most affected by further delays in the release of federal funds. Our shorter construction season makes early resolution of the debate on reauthorization even more urgent. Background to the debate The Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 expired last September 30. Congress failed to pass the reauthorization legislation by the end of the 1986 Session. Since then, cities have been unable to gain access to federal Highway Trust funds. These funds do not contribute to reducing the federal deficit. They come from the nine -cent per gallon federal gasoline tax and other user fees which continue to be collectedand held by the federal treasury unavailable to local governments that need them for major transportation repairs and operations. Congress should move now to release those funds without further delay. The current balance in the federal Highway Trust Fund is $9 billion, according to the National League of Cities. According to national survey results from AASHTO, nearly 800 projects across the nation will be lost if reauthorization legislation is delayed even to March 1. Thousands more such projects will also be lost if delays continue through summer. S-1 Summaries of bills COURTS Tort reform. S.F. 255 (Samuelson, Stumpf) (Commerce) would require a liquor license holder to maintain insurance to cover liability for injury to person, property, or means of support and would take out the reference to the liquor act in a municipality's authority to self -insure. The bill would establish an attorney contingency fee schedule to apply to all civil actions and would allow the disclosure of collateral sources of recovery to a jury. It would eliminate punitive damages for all civil actions and would limit non -economic losses to $100,000. The bill would abolish the principle of joint and several liability for the whole award, except for governmental entities that are 35 percent or less at fault which will be jointly and severally liable for an amount no greater than twice the amount of fault. CRIME Fines and classification of certain crimes. S.F. 286 (Spear, D. Peterson, Ramstad, Luther, Knaak) ((Judiciary) would increase the maximum fine for a petty misdemeanor to $200 except for certain traffic offenses and would allow a prosecuting attorney to certify certain misdemeanors as petty misdemeanors. The bill would establish new standards for criminal damage to property, and would limit forgery and bail in misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor cases to double the maximum fine generally, and to four times the maximum fine in cases involving DWI, domestic abuse, assualts, fleeing police in a car, or bringing stolen goods into the state. Driving while under the influence of any substance. S.F. 321 MerriamT—Fiudiciary would extend the crime of driving under the influence to any substance that substantially impairs the ability of a person to drive or operate a motor vehicle or boat. Transportation of firearms. H.F. 367 (Sparby, Begich, D. Carlson) Environment & Natural Resources) would prohibit the transportation of a firearm in a motor vehicle unless the firearm is unloaded in both barrel and magazine. Current law is stricter in that not only must the firearm be unloaded, it must be enclosed in a case. Mandatory imprisonment for aggravated violations. H.F. 395 Sviggum, Hugoson, Waltman, Rodosovich (Judiciary) would require a mandatory 30-day term of imprisonment with no stay of sentence for anyone who is driving, operating, or in physical control of a motor vehicle requiring a driver's license, and at the time the license is suspended, cancelled, or revoked for a DWI violation or refusal to take a blood alcohol test. S-2 ELECTIONS Precinct o11' places for Mankato. S.F. 216 (Taylor) (Elections and Ethics) would allow the city of Mankato to designate a precinct polling place more than 3,000 feet outside of precinct boundaries if no suitable place is available within the distances allowed by statute. School district elections. S.F. 76 (Frank, Viekerman, Dahl) Elections and Ethics would amend statutes relating to school district elections. It would include school district elections under provisions of general Minnesota election law, require school district numbers on registration cards, provide for consideration of school district boundaries in setting precinct boundaries and designation of single polling places for concurrent municipal and school district elections.
