On behalf of the City of Chanhassen, I would request that this be the year that meaningful reform be a top priority for the legislature. Further, I would suggest that Wisconsin's workers' compensation system be looked to as an example of how reform can occur. My information reflects that Minnesota's workers' compensation costs are approximately 32% higher than in Wisconsin. For our city, this is a very meaningful statistic. For example, we pay approximately $100,000 per year in workers' compensation premiums. Over the course of a ten year period we are spending approximately $1 million. To the best of my knowledge, our workers' compensation claims have been relatively minor and in no way approximate $1 million nor the premium we would have paid if we were a Wisconsin city, i.e. 650,000. The $350,000 that we may be able to achieve in savings could and should better be utilized for additional police officers, fire trucks, and other essential service costs that currently are being deleted simply because we cannot afford them. Again, please strive to make. workers' compensation reform a reality. ' Sincerely, YVa1giY r.

As public servants we share a tremendous responsibility. Our charge is to provide quality, , responsive service to the public, while at the same time we strive to do more with less. Each year we struggle with increasing pressure on tight budgets. So why pay more for something than you have to? In 1993, government entities paid an estimated $83 million in workers' compensation costs. Every dollar spent on workers' compensation is a dollar that could be spent on education, crime prevention, transportation, or that could be returned to the taxpayer in the form of property tax relief. This issue is particularly important in greater Minnesota. Our border communities constantly struggle to compete for jobs with communities across the state line. We cannot expect to attract and grow jobs in Minnesota if our workers' compensation costs are markedly higher than workers' compensation costs in our surrounding states. We must bring Minnesota's workers' compensation costs in line with our neighboring states or we will continue to see jobs flow across our borders. That is why Governor Carlson has made workers' compensation reform a top priority in 1994. Governor Carlson is proposing the adoption of the Wisconsin workers' compensation system in Minnesota. The Wisconsin workers' compensation system is a simple, low -cost system that is generally accepted by both labor and business interests in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin system treats injured workers' fairly (approximately 95 percent of injured workers in Minnesota i -wind receive roughly the same benefits under the Wisconsin system). Minnesota's workers' compensation costs are approximately 32 percent higher than in Wisconsin. The savings will be even greater for high - hazard, high - paying blue collar jobs. The jobs issue alone is compelling enough for conscientious DFL legislators to join with their IR colleagues to bring the workers' compensation reform debate to the 1994 legislative agenda. There are, however, many legislators who turn a deaf ear. Many state legislators have been reluctant to support workers' compensation reform. Others continue to try to roll back the modest reform gains of the 1992 legislation. Tfiey do not believe that high workers' compensation costs mean fewer jobs for Minnesota. When will they wake up and smell the bacon? Probably not until it's their bacon frying. I'm sure you get the point. An Equal Opportunity Employer ME 7 I Workers' Compensation Reform Work p „ page two ' I know this is not the first time you have been asked to support workers' compensation reform. It is no accident that we struggle with this issue every year -- past reform efforts have not done the job. The 1992 reforms were a good first step but did not deliver the meaningful, fundamental reform that is necessary to help Minnesota to be more competitive. ' In 1993, the Carlson Administration mandated that the Workers' Compensation Reinsurance Association (WCRA) to refund over $400 million to Minnesota employers. Government entities have already received over $12 million from that effort alone. Yet Minnesota's costly ' workers' compensation system continues to put an unnecessary burden on Minnesota employers. Reform of Minnesota's workers' compensation system is needed now, more than ever. We need your support to be successful. We cannot overcome the powerful lobbies, who will go to any length to maintain the status quo, unless you join the fight. ' If you want more jobs in your local community, then join with us. If you would rather spend a dollar on education and property tax relief than on workers' compensation, then join with us. ' Make your voice heard across the state. Please write or call your state legislators and urge them to support workers' compensation reform. Please also encourage others to do the same. Writing a letter to the editor of your local newspaper will make an impact. Or call your local radio station and talk to one of the reporters. Try everything you can think of. I assure you that we will not rest until we ' achieve significant reform. Thank you for your support. Y urs ly, o .z: e, Commissioner t CITY OF CHANHASSEN 690 COULTER DRIVE • P.O.

Three years ago, Independent School District 112, Carver County, and the cities of Chanhassen, Chaska and Victoria recognized that cooperation and joint planning were the keys to preventing such a collision for taxpayers in eastern Carver County. Each taxing jurisdiction was facing capital projects and other service needs which impact their common taxpayers. As a means to coordinate and effectively plan for these challenges, a Community Leaders Group formed. It consists of the mayors of each community, the chairs of the county board and school board, and the city managers, county administrator and superintendent of schools. The Community Leaders Group meets approximately every other month and is charged with developing strategies for coordinating joint actions. It is a vehicle to share information, avoid service duplication, and maximize benefit to citizens. Since forming, the group has completed these joint efforts during the past two years: ♦ Joint 10 -Year Property Tax Forecast - A 10 -year property tax forecast was prepared based on each of the jurisdictions' operating and capital budgets and long range plans. By pooling our long range plans, leaders could easily identify years in which more than one of the jurisdictions planned a significant tax increase. Through this shared information, each ' jurisdiction could modify its timing or re- structure its debt to ensure that taxpayers would not experience a sharp spike in property taxes during any given year. The information was shared with citizens through the news media. The forecast was updated this year and will be updated again each year. Being able to point to the forecast was a key piece of information used by the school district to pass a $46.5 million bond referendum in March, 1993. ♦ Tax Increment Financing Redistributed - A significant percentage of the area's total tax base is within tax increment districts in Chaska and Chanhassen. Work on the property tax forecast encouraged both cities to execute agreements with School District 112 to release the new tax increment revenues generated from the passage of the school bond referendum. Turning the money back to the school system effectively lowered the overall cost of the bond issue to taxpayers. ♦ New School Site Cooperation - The selection and acquisition of sites for two new schools offered another opportunity for cooperation among members of the Community Leaders Group. The cities of Chaska and Chanhassen took the lead in acquiring sites within their communities for the new facilities with the understanding that the sites would be resold to the school district it cost. ♦ Joint Contruction of Roadways - Carver County and the cities of Chaska, Chanhassen and Victoria tackled one of the major infrastructure needs of the area by developing an eastern Carver County transportation plan. Each entity will contribute funds over the next four years to jointly construct over $15,000,000 of priority county roadway improvements. APPLICATION MUST BE RECEIVED BY MARCH 14, 1994 I CARVER COUNTY LIBRARY SYSTEM 4 City Hall Plaza, Chaska, MN 55318 Phone: (612) 448.9395 , BRANCH LIBRARIES: Chanhassen, Chaska, Waconia, Watertown, Young America April 25, 1994 Mayor Don Chmiel 7100 Tecumseh Lane Chanhassen, MN 55317 Dear Mayor Chmiel, 1 44. Dj elf A - N. Enclosed is a copy of the Carver County Library Annual Report. As you can see, the library again experienced increased use during 1993. I also am writing to you and members of your City Council on behalf of the Carver County Library Board. On March 15, the Library Board met to review its 1991 -1995 Strategic Plan, Mission Statement, and goals in order to continue its vision for a quality County Library System. The timing is right. Nineteen years ago the County Library was established and entered into its Joint Powers Agreements with three cities in the county that had existing libraries. In 1975, the Young America (West Area) Library was opened and in 1981 the Chanhassen Library. In 1995, four City /County Library Board Agreements will be up for automatic renewal; in 1996, the fifth. It is time to look at our customer driven library service as described in the Strategic Plan. Weaknesses, identified by our focus groups which were comprised of users, non - users, business people, educators, students, and seniors, dealt with inadequate facilities, too few public service hours, and lack of materials. The Library Board has placed emphasis on the materials budget and extending hours each year. The materials budget has grown 10% since 1991. Hours have recently been added to both Chaska and Chanhassen. However, the issue of the lack of adequate facilities is out of our hands since cities currently provide space for- the library. Several buildings are now too small to house the collections we are purchasing. In addition, most branches do not meet the requirements of the American Disabilities Act, and some buildings may no longer provide a safe and healthy environment for staff and customers. Continued delays have been occurring with various cities that are attempting to upgrade the buildings which house the libraries. This is often due to financial constraints on the municipal level. RECEIVED APR 2 6 1994 Affirmative Action /Equal Opportunity Employer CITY Or Vr �,,,�„r►��cl� fl The Carver County Library Board has concluded that in order to maintain the integrity of the library system, alternatives must be investigated regarding ways of providing county -wide library service. It will, therefore, undertake a plan to study options in order to implement a plan for future use of its libraries. Some of these studied issues will include but will not be limited to: 1) shared facilities with other county resources, ' 2) a review of current library locations, 3) a study of future library sites, ' 4 an analysis of customer use, , ' 5) a study of the dynamics of our population. We know we need to resolve our problems of access for all residents, and it doesn't make much economic sense to continue to build a collection of materials for the public, yet not have room to house it. ' The Carver County Library Board and I welcome your opinions and suggestions as we begin our studies. We will keep you informed as the process evolves. Please forward this letter to your Council and contact me or any member of the Library Board to express your ideas. ' Sincerely, , NA 1� Mary J.

This is a 7% increase over 1992. Grants The library system applied for and received two $1,000 grants to be used for summer programs in 1994. Thanks to these ' grants from Target of Chanhassen and the Chaska Arts Council, , library kids will be able to enjoy even more fun and educational programs in 1994. ' Literacy Grant A $25,000 Library Literacy Program grant from the Federal government financed a project titled "National Issues Forums for the New Reader." This. successful project attracted ' adults in literacy programs and the general public to the library to discuss public policy issues. Volunteers were trained as ' discussion moderators to enable the continuation of the discussions ' although the grant has ended. Children's Summer Programs These programs continue to be popular ' due to the exceptional artistic qualities of the performers. 7,204 people attended a variety of 42 programs offered at the branch libraries. Many businesses and service groups sponsored about 80% of these performances. The average cost per attendee for the , programs was $.56. Fax Service All library branches are now equipped with fax machines for receiving /sending information. Future Plans The library system continues discussions with the cities of Watertown and Young America for new branch facilities. ' Plans for a new facility in Chanhassen have been postponed indefinitely. ' Dial -Up Access Through the use of a personal computer and a modem, at home or work, dial -up access to the library's on -line catalog, a database of materials in the Carver County collection, , is available to the public. This access shows what items are available and their location. Requests may be placed using your library card barcode (previously entered within the library's database) and picked up at the Chaska Community Library or going , directly to the branch where the item is held and checking it out. Internet Carver County joined the "Information Superhighway" , through an Internet connection. Currently this technological tool is available only to staff for electronic mail, for national database searching outside the system, and for locating requested , materials at other libraries around the world. Staff Transitions Young America Aide Gail Wuetherich resigned and ' Jennifer Wuetherich was selected as her replacement. Waconia Aide Marion Klaseus retired and Marilynn Peters was selected for the position. Waconia Branch Librarian Jan Baldwin resigned and Bonnie ' Thurk was selected as her replacement. l t: li tn OA $ O • o Q c 10 m 10 of r' In ab M N en u'1 N 1 {C �O rl O C 1 1 1 l .-1 1 1 1 1 wO 1 I l t l 1 1 1 1 1 1 � t l O V 0 r' OOO r .-�O IT - 4 cyt NN .4 0► 0 a ONV4O rl rl r. +1 .�'. -1 .� .

Cooper, Fisheries and Wildlife. The Canadian Critter continues to threaten and disrupt the enjoyment of all parks and beaches surrounding Lake Minnetonka for the benefit of our Citizens. This program is certain to be more effective if each City were to share in responsibility by making this an annual effort to control the geese population that have become a public nuisance within the 40,000 acres of precious wetlands we all share. Therefore, we ' urge you to adopt a similar program.

" � 7J, - f.- Y I ee When the legislature created the Local Government Trust Fund in 1991, many city officials hoped that the issue of revenue sharing with cities would be less political and more stable. However, since 1991, the Trust Fund has resulted in one controversy after another. The Governor and Legislators did not fully agree on the intent of the original legislation and since then, the composition of the Trust Fund has changed annually. Even though Trust Fund revenues have increased much faster than local aid programs, cities now face large aid cuts because the Legislature and the Governor used Trust Fund revenue to balance past general fund deficits. If the Legislature and Governor refuse to guarantee Trust Fund revenue growth for city LGA and HACA, the Trust Fund will continue to be meaningless and should be abolished rather than be used as an excuse to further cut LGA and HACA. House Omnibus Tax Bill The House tax bill maintains the Local Government Trust Fund in name only. Current projections suggest that Trust Fund revenues will increase by $107 million next biennium. Despite this increase in available Trust Fund revenue, the House bill does not provide any LGA or HACA increases for cities. The House bill covers the currently projected $29.5 million Trust Fund deficit. However, if the November forecast is substantially worse, cities would still face cuts in LGA and HACA. The House version of the Trust Fund is thus unacceptable. Cities can no longer support a Trust Fund that has been so distorted that it is now only an excuse to cut LGA and HACA. Senate Omnibus Tax Bill The Senate tax bill eliminates the Trust Fund at the end of the current biennium (June 30, 1995) and replaces it with an automatic growth index for LGA. The Senate bill places a minimum increase of 2.5 percent and a maximum increase of 5 percent on the index. Unfortunately, the index is not applied to HACA, which is another important component of the local revenues for most cities. The Senate bill covers the current Trust Fund deficit unless the November state budget forecast shows a deficit larger than $29.5 million. After the 1995 fiscal year, automatic cuts would not occur because the Trust Fund is eliminated. Although cities have supported the Trust Fund, the Senate growth factor for LGA is the only promise for any aid increases in the future. Potential Governor Veto Even if we are successful in the tax conference committee, the strong possibility exists that the Governor could veto the tax bill. If this occurs, the Trust Fund cuts would automatically occur this December and there would be no LGA increase for 1995. We need to let the Governor know that fully funding 1994 aid commitments is extremely important for local governments. Cuts in aid will result in either increases in property taxes or reductions in local services. 1 4/21/94 League Positions on the Omnibus Tax Bills The Tax Conference Committee is meeting this week to iron out differences between the House and Senate omnibus tax bills. Even if your Senator or Representative is not on the conference committee, they will still have a vote on the final conference committee tax bill. Tell your Senator ' and Representative to take the following positions with the tax conference committee members. Have them contact the conferees and demand that the following concerns of cities be addressed in the final tax bill. Tell your Senator, Representative or the Tax Conferees to .. . • support LGA and HACA growth equal to the rate of sales tax growth (approximately 4 percent annually). • support the restoration of the current Local Government Trust Fund shortfall. 1 C1 • support the elimination of the Trust Fund because it has become so distorted that revenue growth cannot be guaranteed for increases in city LGA and HACA, and it is only being used as an excuse to cut LGA and HACA. • support all of the TIF provisions in the Senate tax bill. These changes would help cities create jobs, redevelop decay, assist low and moderate - income housing, and clean up pollution. However, these improvements to TIF should be dropped if it appears that any of the new penalties from the House bill would be accepted. Tell your Senator, Representative or the Tax Conferees to ... • oppose the House freeze in LGA and HACA growth. If the Local Government Trust Fund is not repealed, the bill should use Trust Fund revenue growth for future LGA and FIACA increases equal to the rate of sales tax growth. • oppose all of the House TIF provisions. No improvements in the current TIF laws would be preferable to any of the new onerous House penalties. • oppose county authority to exclude their tax rate from the TIF calculation. This is not a county veto, it is broad authority for counties to influence TIF projects and their feasibility. • oppose arbitrary caps on the amount of TIF each city could use. Cities with healthy tax bases would be penalized and the cap could be further restricted in the future.

These estimates were prepared t by the League of Minnesota Cities. The upcoming November state budget forecast will be the final benchmark to determine the size of , any actual cuts that would be made in December aid payments. Until then, city officials can either hope that sales tax revenues into the LGTF dramatically improve, or they can encourage their I legislators to take action to eliminate these cuts.

The House voted 112 -22 in favor of the bill on March 25. Under the proposal, cities and school districts would have authority to establish in which year to hold local elections. The Senate refused to concur with the House position. A conference committee has been appointed (Reps. Osthoff, Abrams, and Solberg; Senators Luther, Laidig, and Marty), Luther wants to but has not met because Senator et "a sense of the Senate" on a new u g ' proposal (see below) which he supports over S.F. 1512, which passed the Senate 65 -0 last May after provisions requiring school districts to conduct elections in November were deleted from the bill). S.F. 2395 was,introduced by Senator Bill Luther on March 14, and approved by the Senate Ethics & Campaign Reform Committee on March 29, four days after the deadline for action on bills by a committee of origin. (No committee acted on the companion measure in the House.) The bill is now on Special Orders on the Senate floor and is expected to be considered as early as today - or possibly as late as the final hours of the session. The bill would require all county, city and school districts to hold local elections only in November of odd - numbered years, on "Local Government Election Day". The original bill was drafted by the Minnesota School Boards Association and is similar in many respects to proposals first promoted fifteen years ago by Secretary of State Joan Growe. 1 I -over- serve terms expiring the first Monday in January 2000, to provide for a transition to odd -year elections.

I am confirming your visit here on that day for an 11:00 a.m. tree planting. The planting will take place on the Arboretum's front terrace of the main Snyder Building with the "assistance" of 37 first- graders from St. Michael's school (West Saint Paul). Please tell the gatehouse that you are here for this purpose which will get you in the gates. Then ask for me at the lobby desk and I will come up to meet with you. The children start their program at 9:30 a.m. and will arrive at our main building just shortly before 11:00 a.m. See you on the 29th! Sincerely, Lori Carsik THANK YOU.....

As the Meteorologist -in- Charge of the Twin Cities office, I commend you for this excellent initiative to promote NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) in the local Community. While the benefits of monitoring NWR are well known by emergency management officials, the general public has essentially little awareness of this valuable link to the NWS. The article in the paper, along with the supplemental pink flier were very timely "advertisements" for the radio service. The tornadoes earlier this week just to the northeast of the Twin Cities certainly highlight the serious problem that remains in communicating timely warnings to the public. Again, I appreciate your work in the Chanhassen community and look forward to working more closely with you and the Department of Public Safety when we move into our new office on Lake Drive West.

I found two things of great interest. First, that Chanhassen was included as one of the Cities used in ;comparing metro area statistics. This appears to speak to the fact that Chanhassen is no longer 'considered "out there ", but is viewed in many ways as one of the suburbs. And, for better or for worse, this includes our being mentioned in articles about crime statistics. The other issue that caught my'attention, and which I have to admit I am very pleased about, is the statistical comparison of the annual odds of being a victim of crime in Chanhassen, as compared to the twenty other metro area communities listed. The numbers speak directly to what we all believe to be the case: that Chanhassen is :# nfe place to and hve I can't help but be proud of the system that we have all worked on to develop, and wanted to take this opportunity to bring the statistical °pr9of to your attention that: what we have is indeed working! gNsafe"h\s tart rib.art n r 11 I ApppII Vallel Maph Grow Burnsville Maplewooc Eager Brooklyn Park Chanhassen Edina Minnetonka St. Louis Park 1, Vln . 2;610 0 :t odds of becoming a victim - ibin 1 in 31;305 7,148 Don't bet on ft.

The new rate for basic cable programming will be $10.19, a decrease of $ 0.26. The new rate for tier programming will be , $11.67, an increase of $ 0.26. This change in the rate does not affect the subscriber with both basic cable and tier programming services. Their bills will reflect no change, while basic only , cable subscribers will have their monthly bill lowered. This restructuring is to create a revenue neutral balance, charging less for the level of service with fewer channels and more for the level of service with more channels. Notice of this restructuring was sent out today to subscribers, via the monthly statement. As mandated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in their April 1, 1993, Rum: of Cable Rate Regulations "Re port and Order " , Triax is including the address and telephone number for both the Franchising Authority and the FCC.

(Staff photo by Dean Trippler) Don't know where to turn Senior Linkage Line has the answers By Dean Trippler In the basement of Chanhassen City Hall, at the Chanhassen Senior Center, a friendly voice is there to hel p those with senior - related problem and questions. Up for nearly a year now, the Se- nior Linkage Line is a high -tech data base run by volunteers who are con- cerned and willing to help out fellow senior citizens and their families and friends. Kitty Sitter, who is the coordina- tor of the program, said there are three senior volunteers and one paid aide who man the telephones and take up to 30 calls each month since the line opened last June. The callers may be local seniors, those with elderly par- ents or other agencies searching for answers or at least a point in the right direction in finding answers to basic questions. Calls have been for medi- cal information, chore services, trans- portation, adult day care, legal issues, tax assistance, defensive driving classes — anything related to grow- ing older or having a parent or loved one grow older. "We determine their needs, and once we find out what they're look- ing for, we'll do the research through . our data base," Sitter sai&6 th`e'cJrt puter that lists hundreds of agencies and programs available for senior citi- zens. After finding out where seniors or family members can call for their Particular need, the staff at the Senior Linkage Line relays the information. A follow -up call is usually made tc find out if, in the end, the initial ques- tions were answered. s An enhancement due to debut soon on the system will be a bulletin board feature. A pre- recorded mes- sage on health tips, jokes, and senior events will be accessed by calling the Senior Linkage Line and asking for the bulletin board. That service is set to start sometime this month, Sitter said. "We really want to have someone talk to a caller in person," Sitter said of the lack of voice mail on the sys- tem. "We want to keep that human element, and we're trying to be more than the Yellow Pages. We're trying to get the personal touch in it." Another new feature of the Senior Linkage Line will be a partnership with Chore Corps, a group of private businesses that offer volunteer ser- vices for seniors, such as raking yards, washing windows, etc. No date has been set for that alliance, though. "We got involved because of se- nior requests," Sitter said of the data base service. "The seniors are con - cemed about each other and want a service like this." gimilaily, the vo7anteers at Senior Linkage Line get a satisfaction from helping others. "Seniors can get a lot of help in a lot of different ways," said Helen Nielsen - Eckstein who answers phone calls for the Senior Linkage Line, "It's satisfying to know you're helping somebody." And for Fred Prinz, a volunteer, the same can be said. ITrn giving back to society a little," he said. "I've got the time now." The Senior Linkage Line is a co- operative effort of Carver County Social Services and the city of Chanhassen. The city provides the space within the Chanhassen Senior Center and equipment, while the county distributes funds to project from the Minnesota Board of Aging. The Senior Linkage Line is a program of Senior Resources and the St. Paul - United Way made possible through a grant from the Metropolitan Area Agency on Aging, under a plan ap- proved by the Minnesota Board on •r Aging. Sitter said the data base is updated every two to three months. The coor- 3 ' dinators of the program keep in touch with other service providers to ascer- ra tain what services are needed by se- niors. af� "People think (the Senior Linkage Line) is only for seniors, but we en- 1 courage friends and family to call, too," she - a You can reach the Senior Linkage Line by calling 937 -0095 or 1 -800- 278 -8089.
