I began course work in the fall of 1991. Courses completed to date include: Foundations in Public Administration Ethics in Government Public Fiscal Management Human Resource Management Public Policy Analysis; Formation, Implementation and Evaluation Administrative Law and Process Research Methods in Public Administration Planning in Public Organizations Administering Local Governments Public Sector Dispute Resolution Two required courses remain to be completed prior to my scheduled graduation in the spring of 1996. Spring quarter begins in February and I am planning on completing my capstone course at this time. The single remaining course is Organizational Theory and Behavior. This course is offered on Monday evenings this fall. Fall quarter is from September 11 to December 11. To date, I have managed to avoid conflicts between my course work and evening meeting schedules. However, participating in this fall's quarter would eliminate my ability to personally attend six city council meetings. Please advise me on how you would like me to proceed. I have registered for the class to hold a seat. The last day drop courses with a full refund is September 15. J 4k ' f- ce MEMORANDUM Metropolitan Council Working for the Region, Planning for the Future 19 1995 July Mr. Don Ashworth Manager City of Chanhassen 690 Coulter Dr. Chanhassen, MN 5 Dear Mr. Ash�ba _T Greetings from the Metropolitan Council! �und se- / /,.,✓ Xs .,// dt � 8/..,., p �l G -I N� w �w Xr- C ,rs /0 As many of you know, I recently began a new phase of my career as the Director of Community Development for the Metropolitan Council. This is an exciting time for the Council, and for me personally. Because the Community Development Division is responsible for implementing the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act, as well as all of the local assistance functions, Metro ERA, parks and open space planning and the new 800 megahertz radio system, we will need an effective, ongoing partnership with local communities. I hope that you will help me make the Council's efforts successful by keeping in touch with me directly about your needs or any problems that arise. After nearly 20 years of working in the city management profession in the Twin Cities, I know that the Council can only be effective if we are constantly working to meet the needs of our constituent cities. Even though we will be initiating a number of efforts to enhance our relationships with our customers, I would appreciate any feedback you could give me. You know best what good service looks like and I want to hear about that from you. Please call me at 291 -6615, or stop in and see me at the Mears Park Centre building. I am located on the second floor. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerel , Craig R.

Identifying a project(s) which meshes with your group's membership is our challenge. The city is prepared for this task. We recognize the long term rewards that result in the establishment of community partnerships. To facilitate your Wednesday night meeting, I submit the following concepts for your review. Please embrace as many or few as you like. Project ideas are nearly endless. My interests are in ensuring a solid long term "match." Flower Gardens Lake Ann Park - Envision a display of full season flower beds along the entrance road of Lake Ann Park. The potential beauty and high visibility of this project idea have kept it back in my mind for years. Annual Tree Planting Program - In the spring of each year, the city solicits volunteers to plant thousands of tree seedlings in addition to a number of larger trees. This work typically occurs on a Saturday in late April to early May. This project represents a quiet but deeply significant investment in the future of the city. July 25, 1995 Mr. Chuck Gabrielson ' July 25, 1995 Page 2 ' Annual Park Acquisition and Development Capital Improvement Program - The Park and Recreation Commission prepares a project list each August for consideration by the City Council. After final cuts, this list is published as the Annual Park Acquisition and Development Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The church could send a representative(s) to City Hall each January to determine if any projects in the CIP are attractive to the church. Investments in labor and knowledge would be the responsibility of the church. Hard costs such as supplies and materials could be donated or assumed by the city. t Again, thank you for approaching proaching the Chanhassen Park and Recreation Department. Your y desire to contribute is truly valued. I look forward to hearing from you.

Smith 8012 Erie Ave Chanhassen MN 55317 This letter is to respond to your letter of July 20, 1995, regarding railroad related noise. While you indicate that you have not received responses to your phone calls from the railroad or the MN Department of Transportation, you and I have talked each time you have called me over the years. While you state in your letter that you are making a formal request for action, I continue to take the position that the City of Chanhassen should not tell the railroad to limit its use of warning horns or barrier gates, both of which are used for safety purposes. Because the railroad has, no doubt, designed intersection controls with safety in mind, and the engineers operating the trains sound their horns for safety reasons, it would be irresponsible for us to tell them to change because of one complaint. Since my research indicates that the railroad has gone through Chanhassen from before 1910, and the railroad has an excellent safety record in our city, it appears their safety procedures are working. In addition, while you state in your letter that you don't care about federal laws, please recall the last time you and I discussed this matter. I advised you that after the City Attorney's office spent time researching what the City could do, determining that it was their conclusion that we could not, nor should we, tell the railroad when and how they are to use their horns, barrier gates and other safety devices.

Box 147 Chanhassen, MN 55317 ' Re: Credit Rating Review The City has completed a credit rating review process by Standard & Poor's (S &P) receiving a ' rating of "A-". Standard & Poor's defines debt rated "A" as having "a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal." This S &P rating is several rating categories above the Moody's rating received by the City. We congratulate the City on the results of this rating process. ' We are enclosing the S &P credit rating report dated July 31, 1995. We would highlight several points discussed in the report so as to draw the City's particular attention to issues which will ' be of future concern to S &P in order to at minimum retain the current S &P rating. 1. Investments: Although the City has not pledged to sell its volatile investments at this time, the City has committed to sell them if "interest rates swing 100 basis points (1.0 %) either way." 2. Debt Burden: The City has high net debt levels. While this does not preclude future debt ' issuance, the City should be in a position to present to S &P a comprehensive plan for future capital improvements and the role of debt over the next five years, with subsequent updates. The City should expect S &P to review this capital plan in future years for general ' compliance. 3. Financial Policies: The City adopted Financial Policies in December 1994. These policies cover investments and adoption of a capital plan among other areas. While S &P ' recognizes that implementation of the policies is to occur during 1995, we believe they will anticipate compliance to the policies in the future. ' As we have discussed with the City we are prepared to assist the City in its ongoing working relationship with S &P. We have also discussed with S &P a visit to the City, and they are very receptive to this idea. If this is of interest to the City we would establish such a visit at the appropriate time, which could be prior to the City's next bond sale process. ' During this process we have received a number of questions from the City's elected officials. We are prepared to respond to them. Given the S &P rating, we believe both some of the ' answers and the questions may have changed. In order for us to be completely responsive, we would suggest that as an approach all questions be given to Mr. Ashworth to convey to us I SAINT PAUL, MN • MINNEAPOLIS, MN • BROOKFIELD,WI • OVERLAND PARK, KS • WASHINGTON, DC IOM'A CITY, lA Page 2 to comprehensively address them. We anticipate responding at the City's earliest convenience. We invite questions or clarifications of the rating process and this response, so please feel free to contact us.

Micnaei Forrester t212) 208-1763 The rating on Chanhassen. Minn.'s bonds reflects: • Economic ;growth and development enhanced by its proximity to the Minneapo- lis-St. Paul metropolitan statistical area, • Above - average wealth and income levels, • The maintenance of goad operating reserve levels despite recent investment losses, and • High debt levels. Chanhassen (population 13,400) is located in Carver Countv, in the southwestern portion of the Minneapolis -St. Paul metropolitan statistical area. The population nearly has doubled since 1980 because of steadv demand for suburban housing. Building activity again was strong in 1994, at over 10% of the existing market value. While the income levels are above average, the taxable market value rose 6.5% in fiscal 1995 and will rise another 15 °0 to 5851 million in 1996 to a high 563,600 per capita. Rosemont Inc., a maker of precision aerospace instruments, and McGivnn Bakeries are two of the many firms located in three industrial parks developed through tax increment districts established since 1980. Because of the strong industrial presence, the tax base is concentrated, with the 10 leading taxpayers accounting for :8.3% of tax revenue. Financial operations have generated regular budget surpluses leading to an unreserved gen- eral fund balance of 51.2 million, or 33°0 of expen- ditures at Dec. 31, 1994. The surpluses have been used to fund pay -as- you -,go capital projects. However. dung fiscal 1994, the city was forced to write down losses of about S4 mullion because of voiattle derivative investments purchased in 1993 without adequate managerial oversight. The city minimized the impact on operations by des - tgriating the losses to capital projects funds. As a result of this policy, the historic preservation trust fund saw reserves drop 5539,000 from 53.2 mil- lion. A smaller investment loss of 5791,000 was also booked in fiscal 1993. Having acknowledged the I-.sses and seeking to create a solid framework going forward, the city established a new set of financial manage- ment policies in December 1994. The policies in- clude five- year capital budgets and revenue es- timates, debt management goals that stress self- support and rapid principal retirement, maintenance of sound general fund reserve levels, and an,investment policy that stresses the preservation of principal. However, the policy has permitted the city to continue to hold its most troubled investments. To date, the city has kept its portfolio intact at its rebenchmarked value of S7.8 trillion. The city has no firm plans to sell the derivative securities, but to limit any additional exposure, the city intends to sell the four most troubled investments, should interest rates swung 100 basis points either way. Overall net debt levels are high, at 56,243 per capita and 11.4% of true value. However, of the city's substantial 554.3 mullion of direct debt, some 321.6 million has been issued on behalf of special assessment districts, and $29.5 million for tax increment districts. The 532.7 million of over- lapping debt issued by other entities reflects growth pressures in the area, particularly the capital needs of local school districts. The rate of principal retirement is rapid, with all debt repaid in 11 vears. Future capital needs are limited, and the city expects to be able to accommodate expan- sions in its capital projects funds. OUTLOOK The outlook reflects the expectation that the city will meet the requirements set forth in its new financial policies fully and further sta- bilize its financial position.

I have scheduled approval of this payment on the August 14, 1995 city council agenda. This final payment will be in the amount of $4,012. To complete this project per contract specifications, City of Chanhassen employees invested 43 hours in raising sprinkler heads and filling depressions around sprinkler heads. This work is valued at $1,075 ($25 x 43 hours). Subtracting this amount from the existing retainage of $5,087 results in the final payment of $4,012. Prior to this payment being mailed, the city requests the receipt of all outstanding contract documents. These documents include information relating to the pump (manufacturer and warranty) and project as- builts. I understand that the as- builts are a responsibility of the project engineer, Mr. Dennis Saari. He has informed me that a final meeting with you is necessary to fmalize these documents.

We hope to implement initiatives in partnership with your community. ' A summary of regional legislation from the 1995 legislative session relating to planning, programs and services is enclosed. We are also scheduling a number of information sessions for learning about these new initiatives. In particular, the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act offers opportunities for communities. Its emphasis on cooperation and incentives to achieve regional goals received bipartisan support from ' state and local P olicy makers. Financial incentives established by the Legislature and to be administered by the Council offer much - needed dollars to clean -up polluted sites for commercial and industrial development, promote compact housing and business development near transit, and make affordable housing available to meet community ' You can learn more about these regional initiatives and important community deadlines for community decision - making at the meetings listed below: ' Regional briefings on Livable Communities for local government staff and elected officials ' Aug. 16 - 6 p.m. Shoreview City Hall , Council Chambers, 4600 N Victoria, Shoreview; Aug. 17 - 6 p.m. Dakota Co.

' Overall Results ' The 1995 legislative session will prove to be a landmark session. Laws passed during the session establish an innovative regional public safety radio communications system and set a region -wide course and funds to achieve more affordable and life -cycle housing, clean up polluted sites and improve the livability of communities. ' The legislation also reinvigorated the local long -range planning process and makes the comprehensive plan the key document from which to make land -use decisions. Other legislation streamlines the planning review process and allows the Metro HRA to partner with other HRAs. Transit funding assistance, however, falls short of need, requiring immediate ' service reductions and fare increases. As a result, adequate funding for transportation continues to be an unresolved issue. In This Summary ' Major provisions of the following legislation are summarized. - Public Safety Radio Communications System Law ' - Metropolitan Livable Communities Law - Amendments to the Metropolitan Land Planning Law - Omnibus Environmental and Natural Resources Law ' - Omnibus Transportation Funding Law and related Laws - Miscellaneous legislation on Metro HRA activities and Council deadlines for reviewing certain items For additional information on Metropolitan Council programs and services related to this legislation, call the Council's Data Center at 291 -8140. Copies of laws can be obtained from the Minnesota House of Representatives' Chief Clerk's Office at 296 -2314 or the Minnesota Senate Office at 296 -2343. v. - PUBLIC SAFETY RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (Chapter 195, Laws of 1995) Context The act will lead to improved region -wide public safety radio communications. It creates a system that can be shared by governmental units and developed at less cost than if each unit were to update its current system separately. The system plan, under development for three years, is a result of intergovernmental cooperation to share services effectively. General Provisions • Creates a public safety radio system to be phased in over the next several years. The first stage will be built by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT), a process to be overseen by the newly created Metropolitan Radio Board. • Local governments and other potential users are free to join the system if and when they see fit. Metropolitan Radio Board The board is created as a political subdivision. • Membership: 17 members who must be appointed no later than June 22, 1995. • Twelve members are selected by their governing boards or are designated in the legislation. The 12 include the following: seven county commissioners, one from each metropolitan county; one elected official from each of the cities of Minneapolis, St. Paul and Bloomington; a member of the Metropolitan Council; and Mn/DOT's director of electronic communications. • The governor appoints five members: two elected suburban officials (recommendations solicited from the Associa- tion of Metropolitan Municipalities); one elected official from a county, or city within a county contiguous to the metropoli- tan area (recommendations solicited from the League of Minnesota Cities); a metropolitan area sheriff (recommendations from the Metropolitan Sheriffs Association) and a metropolitan area police chief (recommendation from the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association). • The board must create an advisory technical operations committee. Responsibilities of the Board • Within 90 days of the effective date of the legislation, or by Aug. 21, the board must adopt a region -wide public safety radio communications plan. The plan is to include, at a minimum, the following: • A system design for the first -phase backbone (i.e., control computers, fiber -optic and microwave links and transmission towers); A system design for subsequent phases; and A plan to assign radio frequencies. • The board plan will be used as a basis for an application to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for new 800 - megahertz channels and other public safety frequencies needed to implement the plan. Local governments or other public or private entities eligible to apply for the channels are restricted from applying until the FCC rules on the board's application. The board may grant an exception to the restriction on applications for channels. • The board is responsible for ensuring that the system is built and operated as planned. This is an oversight function only, as actual construction and operation is the responsibility of Mn/DOT. • The board is responsible for determining how costs for construction, administration and operation will be allocated The board also can contract with eligible private users and users outside the metropolitan area for service. The board adopts performance standards for operation of the system and priorities or protocols for use of the system. Responsibilities of the Department of Transportation • Makes recommendations to the board on the first -phase design, and issues bid specifications for the first -phase system. The department is responsible for construction or lease of the system and will own, operate, maintain and make any improvements to the first -phase system. • Makes application to the FCC for the necessary frequencies and holds the licenses for those frequencies. As local governments participate in the system, those governments may be co- licensed on frequencies used by their subsystems. • Receives $194,000 in fiscal year 1995 -96 from trunk highway funds to pay for licensing fees and final design costs. Responsibilities of the Metropolitan Council • Provides staff and administrative support for the board until the first -phase backbone is operating and the board can levy fees on users. The Council collects the user fees for the board and can impose a deficiency levy on any local govern- ment not paying its user fees. ' Issues $10 million in revenue bonds and $3 million in transit general obligation bonds (see "Funding" below). • Reviews the board's budget and can disapprove the budget if it does not include sufficient funds for debt service on the $10 million in revenue bonds. Planning Requirements ' Each county, and Minneapolis or St. Paul - -if either chooses not to participate in its county's plan- -must prepare a subsystem plan within two years after enactment of the legislation. The planning process must seek participation by all eligible users. • No county, nor Minneapolis or St. Paul, is required to do a technical subsystem design to meet the requirement that it prepare a plan. However, local governments must cooperate with their county in its preparation of the plan.. • Counties are encouraged to establish local public safety radio subsystem committees to help develop the plan and advise the Metropolitan Radio Board of local service needs. ' Administration of the Board • Until the board has its own funds from user fees, the Metropolitan Council is required to provide office space, staffing and administrative support to the board. • The Council will provide an executive director to the board until the board has funding to hire its own executive director. The Council - provided executive director will be a member of the Council staff and will serve at the pleasure of the ' board. Funding ' The legislation authorizes the Metropolitan Council to sell $3 million in transit general obligations bonds to pay for the share of the radio system used by regional transit operations. • The legislation also authorizes the Metropolitan Council to sell $10 million in revenue bonds to fund the mutual aid and emergency medical services components of the radio system. Debt service on the revenue bonds will be provided from a 9 -1 -1 emergency telephone fee fund. The Council repays the bonds through 9 -1 -1 revenues transmitted from the ' Minnesota Department of Administration to the Council. • The board is authorized to use 9 -1 -1 funds, not to exceed a maximum of four cents per telephone line. The funds are for system design, construction, recurring costs, debt service on the revenue bonds and to repay money borrowed from ' the Right -of -Way Acquisition Loan Fund. The board also may levy user fees on local governments and other entities that participate in the region -wide public safety radio system. • The legislation does not provide funding for the $15 million share for state agencies. An appropriation of $194,000 is provided from the trunk highway fund to complete the first -phase system design and to apply for frequency licenses. The $15 million will be requested in the 1996 legislature's bonding bill. ' Sunset On July 1, 1999 the board sunsets and its functions and assets are transferred to either the Metropolitan Council or to a state agency. The decision on where the board is transferred will be made by the legislature based on biennial reports ' submitted by the Council on the progress of the system and its expansion beyond the metropolitan area. .....,:. ..... ........... . METROPOLITANLIVABLE COMMUNITIES LAW --. -. _._.,. �.. _ ...._ (Chapter 255, Laws of 1995) Context The law is landmark legislation that will help clean up polluted land, expand housing opportunities and revitalize commu- nities in the region. It represents a policy direction from the state on how to deal with affordable housing issues and provides funds to move from ideas to action. It also has funds for polluted site cleanup and for urban demonstration projects. The legislation uses incentives, not mandates, to accomplish the desired results. It closely parallels the Council Regional Blueprint plan, adopted in 1994, in encouraging communities to include housing diversity and choice and in giving priority for regional financial investments to communities choosing to participate. General Provisions • Creates a Metropolitan Livable Communities Fund administered by the Council. The size of the fund is yet to be determined. Funds to be placed in the account will come from several sources, including part of a property tax previously levied by the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District, existing Council funds plus funds the Council will levy in future years, and from funds related to Bloomington's fiscal disparities levy originally allocated in 1988 for interest payments on Mall of America highway improvements. • Communities choosing to participate in the housing activities identified in the law can use the funds to: 1) clean up polluted land to make it available for commercial and industrial development; 2) receive loans and grants for demonstration projects fostering more compact development and encouraging housing diversity and development located close to transit; and 3) work toward achieving affordable and life -cycle housing goals, which are negotiated with the Council. • Participating communities spend a designated amount to create life -cycle and affordable housing in their commu- nity. If they are not meeting their goals by 1998, they must distribute their designated affordable and life -cycle housing funds to their city or county housing authority, or to the Council's fund for distribution to other cities. • Creates an urban homestead program offering an income tax break to people who move into homes in certain neighborhoods in transition toward blight and poverty. • Requires periodic reports to legislature on implementing the law's requirements. Polluted Site Cleanup • Creates a "tax base revitalization account" for grants to help cities, towns and counties pay for clean up of polluted land in the metro area. Doing so also gives a boost to the urban tax base by making more land available for commercial and industrial development. • Some of the money to fund the clean up program would come from revenues from the Right -of -Way Acquisition Loan Fund (RALF) levy, which the Council assesses to help local governments purchase rights-of -way needed to build roads. Amounts over and above what is needed for right -of -way acquisitions will go into the "tax base revitalization account." An estimated $1.8 million is available in 1996. • Other funds will come from a levy by the Council in an amount equal to the difference between the area -wide levy certified by the City of Bloomington to cover interest payments on Mall of America highway improvements in tax year 1988 and in the current year, up to a maximum of $5 million. An estimated $4.7 million is available in 1996. • Communities must participate in the law's local housing incentives program to be eligible for funding, and they may use grants from the "tax base revitalization account" as a local match for clean up funds from the Department of Trade and Economic Development. Making Communities Livable • Makes loans and grants available to cities, towns and counties that embark on demonstration projects to make their communities more "livable" and who participate in the local housing incentives program. • The Council, with the help of an advisory committee, will set criteria for determining which projects qualify for funding from the "livable communities demonstration account," based on guidelines provided in the legislation. Demon- stration projects eligible for funding from the Council must foster more compact development, housing diversity and development in close proximity to transit and other existing services. • The Council is authorized to levy a tax up to 50 percent of the current Metropolitan Mosquito Control District's (MMCD) levy. In addition, the account will receive an annual Homestead and Agricultural Credit Aid (HACA) payment ' equal to 50 percent of what the MMCD receives. An estimated $4.6 million is available in 1996. $500,000 will be trans- ferred from this account into the local housing incentives account each be year, ginning in 1997. Affordable and Life -Cycle Housing • The Council makes grants available to communities working toward affordable and life -cycle housing goals. The Council negotiates housing goals with each participating community. Community participation in the program is voluntary. • To participate in the local housing incentives program, communities must use their locally generated "affordable and life -cycle housing opportunities amount" on affordable and life -cycle housing in their own communities. The "local housing incentives account" provides dollars the Council will administer throughout the region to help communities reach their affordable and life -cycle housing goals. ' Affordable and Life -Cycle Housing Opportunities Account • The law provides a formula for calculating an annual "affordable and life -cycle housing opportunities" amount for each community. The estimated aggregate sum of all communities' affordable and life -cycle housing during the first year of ' the program will be approximately $1.6 million. • Participating communities that have met negotiated goals may use their locally- generated revenues to maintain ' existing affordable and life -cycle housing. Participating communities that have not already met their housing goals can keep their locally generated funds to work toward their negotiated housing goals. • Beginning in 1998, however, participating communities that have not met negotiated housing goals and have not ' spent a significant portion of their locally- generated funds to create affordable and life -cycle housing opportunities must make one of two choices. ' They must give dollars from their affordable and life -cycle housing opportunities amounts to their city or county housing authorities to create affordable and life -cycle housing opportunities within their communities. - Communities may choose to give these dollars to the Council's "local housing incentives account" for use by other communities. • The law allows neighboring communities to work together to provide affordable and life -cycle housing opportunities. It also ' allows communities to participate in the housing program at any time, even if they were not participating earlier. Local Housing Incentives Account Revenue sources for the "local housing incentives account" include: -Funds from participating communities choosing to contribute revenues from their "affordable and life- ' cycle housing opportunities" amount; -A one -time, $1 million appropriation from proceeds of solid waste bonds issued by the Council; - $500,000 per year from the livable communities demonstration account, beginning in 1997; and - Beginning in 1998, $1 million a year from the Council's general property tax levy. • Beginning in 1998 these sources will generate at least $1.5 million per year which the Council will use to support ' 5 local housing initiatives. • Communities eligible to receive grants from the "local housing incentives account" are those that have not met their affordable and life -cycle housing goals, but are actively funding projects to meet those goals. To receive funding from the account, these communities must provide local matching dollars. • Communities participating in the housing program may receive grants and loans from any of the three accounts. Those that choose not to participate may not receive funds from any of the three accounts, nor may they receive state grants to help clean up contaminated sites. • The Council may consider a community's participation in the housing program when making decisions about funding regional investments. Economic Vitality and Housing Initiative • The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency may create an economic vitality and housing initiative to provide funds for affordable housing projects in connection with local economic development and redevelopment efforts. The initative is intended to help ensure the expansion of the economic base and employment opportunities. In the metropolitan area, the agency and the Council are to confer on the priorities for use of the funds. Urban Homestead Program • Law creates an urban homestead program giving state income tax exemptions to people who move into homes in certain declining neighborhoods within the metro area. . The Council is to designate one or more "urban revitalization and stabilization zones" by September 1, 1995. Anyone who buys and occupies a home within a designated area would receive an income tax break for up to five years, provided they do not move out of the home, sell the house, fail to comply with building codes or are convicted of a felony • Maximum exemption for married joint filers is $15,000; $10,000 for single filers and $12,500 for unmarried individuals qualifying as a head of household. The exemption is subject to income limits and phases out for filers with incomes that exceed statutory limits. Development Pattern Report The Council must report to the Legislature by Jan. 15, 1996 on the probable development patterns in and affecting the metro area to the year 2020. The review is to include the present course of growth compared with directed, compact and efficient development, and consider development impacts on the adjacent counties (those in the federal standard metropoli- tan statistical area or those having five or more percent of its residents commute to jobs in the seven county region). Timetable • By Nov. 15 of each year, communities may elect to participate in the local housing incentives program. By Feb. 1 of each year, the Council reports to the legislature on which communities are participating in the program. • By Jan. 15, 1996, Council is to adopt negotiated community goals for affordable and life -cycle housing. • By June 30, 1996, communities are to identify actions they will take to meet the goals. • Beginning Nov. 15, 1996, Council is to issue an annual city-by -city report card on affordable and life -cycle housing in the metro area. • On Jan. 15, 1998, communities begin reporting to the Council on local expenditures to meet affordable and life - cycle housing goals. • In Jan. 2003, Council is to prepare a report to the legislature evaluating the law and any recommendations for legislative action. AMENDMENTS TO THE METROPOLITAN LAND PLANNING ACT (Chapter 176, Laws of 1995) Context The amendments establish the community's long -range comprehensive plan as the principle document for community land - use decision making. Previous law required cities to follow the zoning ordinance if there were conflicts between the two. The law also reinvigorates the local comprehensive planning process by requiring communities to update their plan periodically. General Provisions • Requires local governments in the metro area to review and, if necessary, update their comprehensive plans by Dec. 31, 1998, and at least every 10 years thereafter. • Requires that "fiscal devices" such as capital improvement programs and official controls, such as zoning and subdivision ordinances of metropolitan local governments, conform to local comprehensive plans. • Permits metropolitan area local governments to include elements on intergovernmental coordination and economic development in their comprehensive plans. Updating Local Comprehensive Plans Local comprehensive plans must be reviewed and, if necessary, updated: by December, 1998; at least every 10 years thereafter; and in response to changes in metropolitan system plans. • By Dec. 31, 1998, each local government in the Twin Cities area is required to review its local comprehensive plan and, if necessary, amend its entire plan and amend its fiscal devices and official controls accordingly. In updating their plans, local governments are required to consider the metropolitan system plans in effect on Dec. 31, 1996. If amendments are necessary, a local governments must submit its plan amendment to the Council for review, as well as amendments to its fiscal devices and official controls for the Council's information. If an amendment is not necessary, local governments must certify to the Council that it is not necessary. • After Dec. 31, 1998, local governments must review and update their comprehensive plans, if necessary, every 10 years. • Local governments must prepare amendments, if necessary, to their comprehensive plans and submit them to the Council in response to metropolitan system plans the Council adopts after Dec. 31, 1996. For Council system plans adopted after Dec. 31, 1996, the deadline for submission is Sept. 30, 1999, or nine months after the Council sends the system plan amendment to the local government, whichever is later. ' The Council can grant extensions to local governments for submitting their comprehensive plan amendments and implementation tools. The extension must include a timetable and plan for the local government's review and amendment of its comprehensive plan and implementation tools. ' Consistency of Comprehensive Plans with Implementation Tools ' • If a local comprehensive plan or amendment -- one prepared for Council review by Dec. 31, 1998 or later -- conflicts with the local government's zoning ordinance, the zoning ordinance must be changed to conform to the plan. • After Aug. 1, 1995, local governments may not adopt any fiscal device or official control which conflicts with its comprehensive plan or plan amendments, or which permits activity that conflicts with metropolitan system plans. • In reviewing and updating their comprehensive plans by Dec. 31, 1998, local governments must ensure that fiscal devices and official controls do not conflict with their comprehensive plans. Assistance for Updating Comprehensive Plans • In awarding grants and loans for local planning, the Metropolitan Council is required to give priority to local governments updating their comprehensive plans under the Dec. 31, 1998, deadline. • The Metropolitan Council is required to consult with affected local governments on the need for technical and financial assistance in updating their local comprehensive plans, and then report the results to the legislature by Jan. 15, 1996. Amendment to Watershed Planning Law • Local governments must submit the water management plans they prepare for watershed management organiza- tions to the Council for review and comment when the plan is submitted to the local watershed management organization. The watershed manasement organization is required to take into account the comments of the Council in its review of the plan. OMNIBUS ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES LAW FUNDING REGIONAL PARKS (Chapter 220, Laws of 1995) Context The law continues the state's fundin for regional parks operation and maintenance at about the same level as the previous biennium. There are also additional funds for acquisition and development of park land. General Provisions • $9.5 million is appropriated for regional parks for operations and maintenance, capital improvements and land acquisition. Operations and Maintenance • Appropriated $4,476,000 of general funds for park operation and maintenance for fiscal years 1996 and 1997: $2,238,000 for fiscal year 1996 and $2,238,000 for fiscal year 1997. This funding will provide about six percent of the costs of operating and maintaining the system. The funds will be used by the nine units of government that own and operate the regional parks (Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey and Washington counties, plus Minneapolis, St. Paul and Bloomington). Land Acquisition • Appropriated $1,120,000 for acquisition of park land for 1995. The funds can be used for purchasing land for regional parks, park reserves or trails. Funds come from the Minnesota Environmental Trust Fund and must be spent by Dec. 31, 1995. • The Council and the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission must select from candidate sites. Two examples are Grey Cloud Island regional park in Washington County and Lake Byllesby regional park in Dakota County. Capital Improvements • Appropriated $3.95 million for capital improvements in parks. Most of this money will be used for park develop- ment projects; some will be used for park land acquisition. Funds must be spent by Dec. 31, 1997. ' Source of Funds • Funds come from three sources: Environmental Trust Fund (ETF), the state's general fund (GF) and Metropolitan Council bonds. ETF provides 60 percent of funding and Council bonds provide the remaining 40 percent for some capital improvement projects. Federal Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) grants for trail projects, $500,000 for disability retrofitting, and $1.12 million of fiscal year 1995 ETF monies for land acquisition are not matched with Council bonds. - OMNIBUS TRANSPORTATION FUNDING, OTHER RELATED LEGISLATION (Chapter 265, Laws of 1995) ' Context The law increases the state contribution to the operation of the region's transit system compared with the previous bien- nium, but underfunds the Council's original request by $10 million. Service cuts and fare increases will be required. Other ' legislation (Chapter 265) authorizes the Council to bond for $32 million for capital improvements planned in 1996. A request for an additional $50 million in bonding authority for years 1997 and 1998 was not approved. General Provisions • Provides operating funds for regional transit services and the Metro Mobility program, a transit service for certified ' disabled riders. The law, together with several other transportation- related laws, re- authorize Metropolitan Council bonding authority for capital improvements, earmark the use of some state funds, and give direction to several highway projects. ' Transit Funding • The omnibus law allocates $83 million from the general fund to support Metropolitan Council Transit Operations ' in the 1996 -1997 biennium. • $30.6 million of this amount is to be used for the Metro Mobility program. • The Council may spend up to $625,000 of the state appropriation for a high -speed bus pilot project between the suburbs and between the suburbs and downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul. ' Bus security improvements to enhance driver safety, including plexiglas shields to protect drivers and surveillance cameras, are to be installed on buses travelin high risk routes. ' A separate bill (Chapter 265) re- authorizes the Council to issue $32 million in transit bonds for capital projects overall and also for the capital needs of Metro Mobility. The amount is sufficient to meet needs in 1996. The law prohibits use of bonds to pay for new driver uniforms. Highway Provisions • An additional lane of traffic is to be added in each direction on Interstate Hwy. 394 near the Penn Ave. interchange ' in Minneapolis. The action removed a previous state prohibition against adding additional lanes. The law does not establish a timetable or provide funds for the lanes. ' MnDOT is to complete the Wakota Bridge reconstruction at the earliest feasible date consistent with available funding. No specific dates are included. MnDOT was also directed to find alternative ways to fund the reconstruction of Hwy. 212 between I-494 and Cologne, such as through use of public - private partnerships or toll financing. Mandatory Vehicle Inspection , • The vehicle inspection law (Chapter 204, Laws of 1995) was amended to exempt cars up to five years old from mandatory annual inspections. ' MISCELLANEOUS LEGISLATION METRO HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT A UTHORITY ' (Chapter 112, Laws of 1995) • The Metropolitan Council, acting as the Metro Housing and Redevelopment Authority, is now authorized to enter , into joint powers agreements with certain other HRAs to carry out joint activities. Previous law prohibited the Council from doing so. ' DEADLINE FOR COUNCIL ACTION ' (Chapter 248, Laws of 1995) • The Council, effective July 1, 1995, must complete action on requests for expansion of the metropolitan urban services area or zoning items within 60 days. If the Council doesn't act or seek an extension, the item is considered ap- ' proved. Until now, the Council has had 90 days within which to consider major local comprehensive plan amendments. Extensions of up to 60 days may be requested.

We understand a proposal has been submitted for low density single family housing which would preserve the environment as well as maintain our property values. We were attracted to Stone Creek because the beauty and quietness - mature trees, wetlands, etc. We are extremely concerned about the prospect of increased traffic (semis, delivery trucks, etc.), increased noise, decreased safety, decreased property values and decreased physical beauty of the area. Please do not allow an industrial development in our neighborhood! Thank you for your consideration.
