The first plan essentially indicates digging a ,'l60 ft. crater across the site, 1 while the alternative plan would maintain some of the bluff line while expanding the size of the operation on to adjacent properties to the east and west. There is little or no information given on the status of properties to the east and west of the Moon Valley I Gravel Pit, and since the Eden Prairie city line is located adjacent to the eastern property line of the Moon Valley operation, this would infer that operations would be expanded into the City of . II Eden Prairie. In fact, mention of this is made in the narrative submitted with this permit application request. IOn Friday, October 4, 1991, I spoke with Chris Enger, the Community Development Director for Eden Prairie. I inquired as to whether or not the City of Eden Prairie Planning staff had ever been contacted by the Moon Valley operators concerning the proposed expansion of I the pit into that community. Mr. Enger indicated to me that to the best of his knowledge neither he nor anyone else on his staff had spoken to the Moon Valley applicants, �°and ;that r_ny call was the I first they had heard about it. Chris indicated to that he would have significant- concerns with potential of _the - gravel pit expanding into his community and, in fact,.-in "his opinion it was I impossible to do so under their ordinances which restrict gravel mining to industrially zoned property. I updated Chris on the status of the Moon Valley project, I application and litigation, and indicated that I would forward him copies of their application submittal. These materials were sent out on Friday afternoon.

Frequent changes in legislative policy have kept MVET from becoming the long-term, stable,funding source for transportation that was intended in 1981. I History 1967 - 1980 The Legislature enacted the state sales tax in 1967 and made it applicable to the sale of new and used motor vehicles. In 1971 the Legislature put the sales tax on motor vehicles into a separate chapter of the statutes and renamed it the motor vehicle excise tax (MVET). It was levied at the same rate as the sales tax on the sale price of motor vehicles, minus any trade-in allowance. I The revenue, like sale tax revenue, went into the state's general fund. For years many persons argued that the motor vehicle excise tax was really a highway user tax I like the gas tax and the motor vehicle license tax, and that the revenue from It should be treated like the revenue from those other taxes — that Is, dedicated to highways. The final report of the Legislature's Select Committee on Transportation in 1980 adopted this approach by recommending that MVET revenues be gradually transferred out of the general fund into the I dedicated highway fund along with gas tax and license tax revenues.

' The Motor Vehicle Excise Tax Transfer REVISED: September 1991 • Page 2 1 1981 I The highway financing bill the Legislature passed in 1981 contained the first effort to transfer MVET revenues out of the general fund. The legislation did not make the transfer immediately but phased it according to the following schedule: IBiennium General Fund Transportation I 1982-83 (July 1, 1981-June 30, 1983) 100% 0% 1984-85 (July I, 1983-June 30, 1985) 75% 25%n 1986.87 (July 1, 1985-June 30, 1987) 50% 50% ' 1988-89 (July 1, 1987-June 30, 1989) 25% 75% 1990.91 (July 1, 1989-June 30, 1991) 0% 100% IIIAs the use of the word "transportation" indicates, the money transferred out of the general fund would not be used solely for highways but would be divided between highways and transit. I Seventy-five percent of the transportation share would go to the dedicated highway fund while 25 percent would go to a new transit assistance fund. The money in the highway fund would be divided among the state, counties and cities in the same manner as other highway user taxes (62 percent state, 29 percent counties, 9 percent cities) while the transit assistance fund would be I allocated 80 percent to transit in the seven-county metropolitan area and 20 percent to transit in the rest of the state. I 1983 I State budget problems in the 1983 session forced the Legislature to delay for two years the scheduled transfer of revenues from the general fund to the transportation funds. The revised schedule read: 1. - Fiscal Year General Fund Transportation I 1984-85 100% 0% 1986-87 75% 25% 1988-89 50% 50% I 1990.91 25% 75% 1992-93 0% 100% IThe 75-25 percent division of the transportation share between highways and transit remained. I 1984 An easing of budget problems allowed the Legislature in 1984 to shorten the delay prescribed in I 1983. The transfer would begin to take effect in fiscal 1985 instead of fiscal 1986. This was a year behind the original 1981 schedule but a year ahead of the revised 1983 schedule. This new schedule follows on the next page: I FROM 4. 9. 1987 11 !+? P. The Motor Vehicle Excise Tax Transfer REVISED: September 1991 Page 3 Fiscal rear Qgneral Fund Tffsprtation 1984 100% 0% 1985 75% 25% 1986 75% 25% 1987 75% 25% 1988-89 50% 50% 1990-91 25% 75% 1992-93 0% 100% 1985 • The Legislature cancelled the excise tax transfer for the 1986-87 biennium. This law made no change in the transfer schedule for the 1988-89 biennium or subsequent years. 1987 The Legislature restored the MVET transfer but lowered its rate to five percent of total revenues beginning in fiscal 1988. At the same time it reduced the highway share of MVET by the amount needed to fund state subsidies to ethanol producers under a program begun in 1986 and previously paid for from the general fund. • • 1988 ' • The MVET transfer percentage was raised from five percent to 30 percent of total revenues. I For the first time a change was made in the distribution of the highway share, which had always previously gone into the highway user tax distribution fund for allocation to the state, counties, ' and cities. The highway share of the first 25 percent of the transfer would continue to be divided this way but the highway share of the last five percent would go entirely to the state trunk highway fund. This division would continue until fiscal 1992, when the counties and cities would be eliminated permanently from the MVET transfer and the entire highway share would go state trunk highways. 1989 Tice.Legislature again increased the percentage going to transportation for fiscal 1990, this time to 35 percent. The highway share from the additional five percent went entirely to the Trunk Highway Fund rather than the Highway User Tax Distribution Fund. I • • • 1 FPOn 4. '.. 19E:7 1 1 :0?

The reduction was from that part of the MVET transfer which is divided 25 percent to transit and 75 percent to the highway user tax distribution fund. � I MVET In 1991 and After By the 1991 session several things had become clear about the MVET transfer: MVET had produced a significant amount of money for transportation. In calendar 1990 MVET produced almost $55 million for highways, the equivalent of almost three cents of gas tax. In the 1990-91 biennium over 60 percent of the Regional Transit Board's appropriation , came from the MVET-financed transit assistance fund. MVET's contribution to transportation was considerably less than had been originally intended. . Only in one year (1985) did the actual MVET amount transferred even come close to the percentage called for in the original 1981 law, Under the original transfer formula all of the MVET revenue would have been going to transportation by fiscal 1990, but the actual amount transferred in that year was only 35 percent, and even this declined to 30 percent the next year. Frequent changes in legislative policy were responsible for MVET's failure to become a long- term, reliable funding source. In 1981 MVET's large inflation-sensitive revenues made it appear to be a long-term answer to the highway funding problems created by the unstable, price- insensitive gas tax. Instead of solving the revenue-instability problem MVET made it worse because of frequent changes in legislative direction. Over the decade of the 1980s the MVET transfer was delayed, eliminated, revived, increased, and reduced. The state's seemingly chronic general fund problems, largely`unforeseen in 1981, regularly made the MVET transfer an irresistible target for cutting in order to balance the overall budget. , In view of this history the 1991 budget crisis had a predictable outcome for MVET. The governor's budget called for an elimination of the MVET transfer to help make up a substantial general fund shortfall, and seemingly the only question to be answered was whether the transfer would be eliminated permanently or only suspended for another two years. In perhaps the oddest of the many twists of MVET policy, that question was still unresolved long after the 1991 session ended. The final legislative resolution of the MVET issue was to eliminate the transfer for the 1992.93 biennium but restore it at a level of 10.66 percent beginning in fiscal 1994 and continuing indefinitely. (The 10.66 percent rate will be applied to MVET revenue derived from the new 4.5 percent state sales tax rate; it is the equivalent of an eight percent transfer of a six percent MVET tax.) In future years the MVET transfer would again be divided 75 percent to highways , and 25 percent to transit, with the entire highway share going to the state trunk highway fund. Governor Arne Carlson vetoed not only the Legislature's new 10.66 percent rate but the entire MVET transfer statute -- in effect, to eliminate the MVET transfer permanently as his original budget proposal contemplated. ***ENO*** October 11th 199 0 1991 ' • Dear Curry Farms Homeowner: As you may be aware, there is a movement underway to work ' toward the removal of the Teton Lane roadblock and to have permanent 20 mph speed limit and other safety signs posted throughout our development. Several of us have recognized that 1) since the closing of the Teton Lane exit out of Curry Farms, traffic levels have increased; 2) the current unposted 30 mph limit is too fast for the safety of our children and 3) the unposted 30 mph speed limits are often ignored or forgotten about. Those of us that are working on these issues have decided it best to take our case to the entire development to ensure ' equal input opportunities for all. We have already begun taking our case to Chanhassen City Council but have not yet received any response. A community input meeting has been organized and scheduled for Friday night, October 18th, 7:30 pm in the City Council Chambers of Chanhassen City Hall. Friday night is the only ' night the Council Chambers are generally available. We may need a room this size to handle the anticipated discussion group. ' Only 2 items are to be on the agenda. . .the first being the removal of the roadblock, the second being the permanent posting of 20 mph signs within the development. ' Please join the rest of us that recognize that we don't have to wait for a child to be injured before we do something about our traffic .levels and speeds. We welcome your ideas and your energy. If you have further questions, please contact Rick Schuette, 6430 Bretton Way at 941-7694 (days) . We look forward to ' seeing you on the 18th.

October 7th, 1991 Mayor I City of Chanhassen Chanhassen City Hall 690 Coulter Drive Chanhassen, Minnesota 55317 Dear Mr. Mayor: A copy of the attached letter has been sent out to all Curry Farms Development homeowners. The purpose of the letter is to invite their input at a community meeting about the removal of the Teton Lane roadblock and general traffic speeds/levels in our development. As you may recall from a previous letter packet, general speeds and traffic levels have become unsafe for our children. We are seeking the removal of the Teton Lane roadblock as well as a posting of 20 mph speed limit signs throughout the development. We invite you as well as other public safety and council members to join our discussions concerning our campaign.

I don't know which of you have begun your selection process for your two representatives (one II adult, one youth) on the Youth Commission. We are hoping that this process can be completed by the end of November. Beside your local newspaper, newsletters, and cable, you may wish to ' publicize these openings in the high school, the Community Center, the alternative school, and by contacts with your organizations. Many of your council members and staff may know of some likely candidate. It is certainly a good idea to II encourage these individuals to apply. When publicizing and explaining these openings you will want to take a second look at the mission, purpose and goals contained in your Letter of II Understanding. Greg Shank (368-3688) and I (448-4186) will be happy to field questions. When making your selection for representatives, please keep the I following in mind: - your representatives should be people who can put in the I necessary time. Besides the monthly (perhaps bi-weekly to start) meetings, much of the work of the Commission will be done by its committees, including some of the work a paid II staff pers.= would have done. It is anticipated that the time commitment will be heavier in the beginning. - to insure continuity, Commission member's terms should be I staggered according to the following schedule: I I 1 I I Carver County - -Youth 2 years Adult - 1 year IIVictoria - Youth - 1 year Adult - 2 years IIChanhassen - Youth - 2 years Adult - 1 year II Chaska - Youth - 1 year Adult - 2 years I Carver - Youth - 2 years Adult - 1 year District 112 - Youth - 1 year I " Adult - 2 years I - Commission members, will be expected to report quarterly to their appointing party. II - your choices should, as a whole, reflect a broad range of opinion, experience, and socio-economic background. Your youth representative need not be a class leader. The "at I risk" youth may provide greater insight into needs. - your choices should not be afraid to share their opinions and expertise, be good communicators but work well in Igroups. - your may wish to look at the following areas for this I "team", areas which would naturally be interested in youth issues: - human services I _ law and justice religious community - youth group volunteers education - business and labor - concerned citizens I - health community We hope you end up with lots of great applicants. Please feel free to call Greg or myself with any questions you may have. I o'1 .

Attachment No. 1 is a 24-hour count which indicates - the average daily traffic on both east and westbound Lake Lucy Road. Using the basis of 8 to 10 trips per household, the counts on Lake Lucy Road are not considered abnormally high for a residential street. Traffic counts are slightly higher on Nez Perce Drive, north of Lake Lucy Road, whereby the additional traffic is being generated with the new home construction activities. The traffic counts along Nez Perce Drive south of Lake Lucy Road reflect that .a large percentage of the traffic using Lake Lucy Road are from the Carver Beach area. , Attachment No. 2 reflects the average daily traffic for eastbound and westbound Lake Lucy Road taken duringa 48-hour count. Again, the average daily counts are very similar the previous 24-count taken on September 19, 1991. _ In conclusion, based " on - -the;°-traffic counts and engineering standards, it appears that volumes are not excessive. but are typical with that expected given the service area; even with the new home construction activities. We anticipate future traffic counts increasing only slightly' over the present counts when the developments (Vineland Forest and Troendle Addition) are built out. ktm ��` Sz Attachments: 1. 24-hour traffic counts. 2. 48-hour traffic counts.

' To implement the request of Mayor Chmiel, the Senior Commission formed a subcommittee to establish a volunteer program. Enclosed you will find a copy of the Subcommittee's report. • ATTACHMENTS 1. Volunteer's Subcommittee report. 2 . Chanhassen Senior Commission Minutes dated August 16, 1991. xv. If • PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT ESTABLISHING A VOLUNTEER PROGRAM FOR CHANHASSEN SENIOR COMMISSION Five basic steps to consider in establishing a successful volunteer , program: 1. Planning 2. Recruiting 3. Orientation and Training 4. Supervision 5. Rewards and Recognition I 1. Planning - includes identifying jobs that can be assigned to the volunteers. Caution: Jobs designated for volunteers should be different from jobs assigned to paid employees. Examples: Parks and Recreation - trouble shooter, resource person such as weaver, musician, and "good old days" 4H, Scouts, Schools - "Adopt a Grandparent", prime timers, book reader, tutor , Community Hospital, Waconia Ridgeview - receptionist, greeter to direct visitors, delivery of flowers to patients, library aide, transporter City Hall - flower planter, mailing assistant for newsletter ' Senior Center - Friendly visitor, host/hostess, table setting for functions, clean-up aide 2. Recruiting Sources of recruitment may be: local newspaper, church groups, I civic organizations, local friends by word of mouth.. Caution: A paid coordinator should be responsible for interviewing volunteers and assigning them appropriately. I 3. Orientation and Training A handbook is most valuable in detailing rights and responsibilities. It should contain goals of volunteer service, ethics, emergency telephone numbers, an attendance record, brief job descriptions, a list of Words and definitions used in the assigned volunteer jobs, if appropriate. The handbook should also explain the system of awarding recognition. A tour showing location/parameters of the assigned job and an initial introduction to the immediate supervisor. • 1 IF Subcommittee Report October 15, 1991 Page 2 Training should g be provided for the specific job assigned and/or duties explained if responsibility is more complex. ' 4. Supervision ' Volunteers must report to someone who is designated as their supervisor. This supervisor should make the volunteer welcome and make an effort to show appreciation for the volunteer's ' contribution. The volunteers pay-back is being felt "needed". Supervisor must heed safety when assigning tasks. 5. Recognition is mandatory and essential. It can be achieved by receiving a certificate for the number of hours volunteered, i.e. 100, 300, 500, 1, 000 etc. , party or luncheon, small token such as a book, etc. These suggestions are guidelines and intended to enhance the planner's decisions as Chanhassen moves toward a viable program for older adults in our community.

Bragg: On the agenda, the first item is presentation by Mayor Don Chmiel.- Mayor Chmiel: Good morning. Nice to get here. Unfortunately I'd like -to attend more of the meetings but due to circumstances beyond my control , - working comes first. Just a temporary fill in. But I did want to sit down II this morning and just discuss with you some of the ideas and thoughts that we've had regarding this most respected commission we have in our city. I/What I really am sort of thinking and I'd like to discuss just a little more about the participation by the seniors of this community. What I basically, and I know you had this because I read it in your minutes - before. I would like to just explore probably a little bit more and sort of -address some of the issues where I think it could be a benefit for the j city as well as hopefully for yourselves. To provide some time within the - city to assist in many different things. Not just helping form paperwork - :4'11 or running a copying machine or if you have the expertise in typing with the Minutes and so on. This is something we feel could be a great benefit- - as far as the City's concerned. There's different areas that we have that . each and every individual could be trained to- do something and you can set , up your own timeframe. To a point where you can find out what the basic - needs are by the city adminstratively. And hopefully sort of participate _ with some of these things. Providing your time is valuable to us and - - .. hopefully it would give you another way of getting out and seeing people within the city. Some of these things that I look at I think are a real need for the city. Not too many cities have implemented senior commissions II into City Hall and probably a lot of administrators would probably shudder a little bit because it's going to give them something that they're just ' not aware of what can be done but I know there is that expertise that's out there and we welcome that kind of assist within the city. There are other I parts of that too that I would like to see explored and probably involving some more of the men into our senior area from a standpoint of, well I•'m --- here. _ f _ I • Bragg: But you aren't really an official senior are you? :� _ Mayor Chmiel: I 'm getting there. But what I'd like to do is see some of - 111: the men participating within the community as well. As you know over the - - ::::::: ' - ' _._ - ...._. ;.�-,.... - z.--- ° gu -y:P" =- -- --' .. �_, i_.v. I — enior Commission Meeting gust 16 , 1991 - Page 2 ears we've had some problems with areas where the kids are during the I mmer . People who don't think right and cause problems for children. By having exposure of police protection within the city, what I 'd like to see s some of our senior men being outfitted in a uniform per se within the ity. Driving a city vehicle that has a radio and just by being seen would e a deterrent for those individuals who come into our community. The articipation would not be as such that it would be their responsibility to cquire or get that suspect or who's ever causing those problems but to be ble to use the radio and call for the back up which would be the police . Because I don't want too much excitement to be there. Nor do I expect any hysical portions for those people to be doing as well . But we have many arks. We 're getting to have many, many children. This is a very prolific community. As I keep watching families growing and new families coming in ith children and I want to see this community as safe as it possibly can or not only the residents but for whoever else. Along with that articular line just by seeing those vehicles moving around through town is also a deterrent for some of our people who like to drive excessive speeds. It mean 10 mph, 15 mph over to me is excessive. Possibly just by seeing ore movement within the community would be a deterrent from that aspect as well . And I know that we have many people in the community, many men that Fre in the community that could assist in doing this. The only thing is we ave to get that question out to the people to get them to participate the same as we're talking about the assist within City Hall . There are so many other things that basically could be done and what I'd like to get probably I from you just this morning, some idea as to seeing possibly where you feel some of your needs could be. I 'm also looking at different things that we have. I know you're very good at doing all ki . You've managed nds and sorts o the rtings. To me you are managers . You've managed fa milies . 1 home. You've managed the children and as they grew and progressed and probably sometimes like I do, still do that. And so I see that there is a Icertain amount of expertise that you have. I 'd just like to throw that open. I have a few more things I'd like to talk about but I'd just like to throw that open for a little discussion to see where you think we could use our people of the co I 'll yus throw ith therassisting s open. g other people or doing "whatever we can. Bragg: I 'd just like to add to what you're saying. I think when people retire they lose so much if they don't find something immediately to put I their energies into. If you have executives, and there are some out there , they like to use a little of that. They don't like to be pinned down too Imuch more than maybe say a day or something but when you do assign some of these jobs you have to be careful that you have a job description of it. Sort of a , we're not hiring somebody but if you're going to be given this do responsibility you like to have the decency of saying, this is what I Sort IIand I don't do this and when I do this I'm responsible to somebody. of like a supervisor . Then they are more likely to be on time and put in their time and be responsible for the job. Then at the end when they each year , if they don't get money for it. They at least get some recognition. II think those are three things you have to have when you want to have a volunteer program-responsible to and description. in terms of all I someone to be respo of sorre recognition. Mayor Chmiel: Sure. And I fully agree with that aspect. Senior Commission Meeting August 16, 1991 - Page 3 Bragg: I think there are people here in this group that have done a lot of volunteering and so I think they may or may not agree with me but I think if we want to support a program like this, and I personally would like to. But then like I say, I had an episode with illness. You know I had to miss an awful lot of days. Mayor Chmiel: That's understandable. Bragg: And that is something that goes with having a senior and a volunteer . At some times they have to let you down. Mayor Chmiel : Right. But some times there are more people or some people who want to participate more and some that don't want to participate as much but to have a back-up person for that person would also be the kind of thing we 'd have to look at too. Bragg: Would somebody else want to comment? Heinlein: I 'm afraid to open my mouth. Bragg: You had a bad experience but I don't think you'll find that here. Heinlein: No, not yet. Mayor Chmiel : Hopefully we don't because there's so much, as I say, so much energies that are still out there. Heinlein: Not having a man around I don't know. I mean it would be nice to have somebody to call on if you needed help in any manner and know that they were trustworthy. By having something like that you would know that you could call on them if you didn't have the police anywhere near . Of course they're pretty good about showing up when you do call them. St. John: In these places where you need the help, would a volunteer be able to see a list or something and then say this is something I would be interested in doing? You know some things that I have done would not be on that list and then I would be so foreign to that that it would be more of a disaster for me to step in and try and do something. Something I know about. s Mayor Chmiel: Yeah. That's probably true but even as we are progressing in years we still accept challenges. And it is sort of fun to sometimes, I used to be a person who went straight ahead. Did my job. Didn't pay much attention to other things but I have fortunately I guess as I have put a few more years on. Bragg: Matured. Mayor Chmiel: That's it. I find that I like challenges. It's fun to accept a challenge and it's fun to complete that challenge. I think that 4 using the word fun. Fun is something that you know, have a lot of fun. Kick up your heels. Whatever . But there's'-different satisfactions that we can still' put into that category and by keeping ourselves occupied and doing those kinds of things. But no, I agree. There probably has to be I IISenior Commission Meeting August 16, 1991 - Page 4 " some descriptions as to what the basic needs are. Kubitz: In this Whitney Whisker that I have or sent a copy of and saw that Iall the commission got copies of, they have a list here of retired senior volunteer programs and what the jobs are. Now we could do something like that. " Bragg: I think we could generate some ideas like that. We're women of course but we have husbands and so on and we can think of some jobs that Imen like to do. That would be a very good project for our commission. Mayor Chmiel : There's been several things that hat I had looked at as well . Some of my thunder was stolen here a few weeks ago. Adopt a park. Things of that nature by our fair Governor . That was another thing I was thinking about. Maybe sometimes that people had time they'd like to do that in going out within our city even and just going out for their normal walk I that they should be out doing, and I should talk. I do a lot of what I 'm doing right now best. Sitting. But those are some of the things that can be expanded upon. Things that you could come up with some ideas and different concepts that we could put into the city. But I think as we go Iand grow with the City of Chanhassen, I would like to see that kind of participation if it 's possible. If it's not, well then we won't do it. But to me there 's many more pluses than there are negatives within it. "Heinlein: I 'm sure there's a lot of retired gentlemen in this town. As I walk around I see a lot of them working in the yard. toward: I should think the first thing to do would be to comprise of list f our needs and see that that is published and seniors are made aware of it. 1ragg: And we have recreational needs but we have other needs too. ICeinlein: Well if we made a list of all of them. ayor Chmiel: And I think as far as still assisting within City Hall , that tcan be started at any given time. As far as summer is just about over and he beaches will be closed but I 'm really thinking of having a strong kick ff with this for sometime this coming year. You just can't jump into it. I[We have to know as everyone has said here and the suggestions are all xcellent suggestions and that's what we should try to do. But okay. aybe Sharmin will draw up the information that was discussed and pull that ogether . Basically what those needs are and then come up with some escriptions as to what that responsibility is. rags: I 'd like to see that as part of the agenda for next month and we can work on that a little more. Does that meet with everyone's approval . ray, Mayor would you like to add anything more? Mayor Chmiel : Just a tad. 'Fagg: Okay, good. I Senior Commission Meeting August 16, 1991 - Page 5 Mayor Chmiel : The other Saturday that I was down here for my open meetin s that I 'm holding for any citizens wanting to come in to discuss any of their basic concerns on Saturdays and I do that from 8:00 to 12:00. Firs Saturday of the month just to make sure. I was sitting down here and the first meeting we had three people come in. The second meeting I had one person come in. And I thought maybe that's pretty good. Maybe everybody sort of happy with what's happening. Or they still don't want to come in and talk about it but I wish they really would. But anyway, sitting in here and reading my packet as well , I decided I needed to get up and walk' around so I started meandering through the halls and came upon our little area. Not little area but our area in the back which is used as a store room. I thought here's a store room that's vacant. We're keeping things in there that we could be utilizing that space and what I thought could b41 done is to look at it for the senior segment. A place to come to. A room. Days that you have functions can be used for seniors. Evenings or late afternoons or whatever could be used for the city as well for additional spaces. Meetings are always a problem in this community. Trying to find meeting room to go to. So with that I went upstairs that following Monday and talked to staff and said, we've got some valuable space here that's II just sitting. Let's put it to use and come up with some ideas. Not knowing how many dollars it's going to cost and it might make me shudder . Paul was sort of telling me about where it's coming from and where it mig go and I did shudder a tad. But I think there is that need for card playing. You know whatever . Heinlein: I 'm going to say one thing and that's all I 'm going to say abou, it . The subject was brought up at our meeting yesterday and one person really took me to task for it. They said well they threw us out of the City Hall once, and I said when? Being a newcomer I think they think I 'm pushing. Anyway, .1 said you're talking about the old Town Hall? She said yes . We were happy there. I said well what's in there? I said I 've been there. I know what it looks like. I said it wouldn't fill the bill . Wel they'll put us down there and then they'll dump us out again. I said that will be your permanent place until the real senior center gets built. I said now is that clear . Well what are they doing this for? What do they j give the money to South Shore for? I Mayor Chmiel: Well that's right. There is the need. The reason they give the dollars to South Shore is the basic participation there. Heinlein: . Well she quoted a big figure and I said no ma'am. I said it is not that and I told her precisely and she looked at me and didn't believe me . I said what do you think I 'm sitting on the Commission for . I said I 'm to bring back this information to you people. Well , I walked away. Her temper was getting the best of me. Mayor Chmiel : Yeah, and it probably gets to that point but those are the kinds of things this is really for . To keep people informed. Let them know where we 're coming from. Let them know where we're going. Heinlein: I put my name up for President. Heaven help me if I go through with it but anyway, we thought I could be a liason between them and our 1r group here . That was the way we looked at it. So we shall see what happens in 2 weeks. • 11 Senior Commission Meeting IlAugust 16, 1991 - Page 6 11 Mayor Chmiel : That's right. But anyway, they're going little farther on in discussion. I plan on sitting here. Hopefully hit a doesn't go too long. I have a doctor 's appointment too this morning. My IIevery 2 year physical which he 's telling me I should be there every year . That 's beside the point. The other thing that I wanted to also just address as I 've had a bunch of younger , energetic men in this community . IA bunch. Six . I should ,clarify. Who came to me 2 weeks ago and said you know, we have time on our hands and we'd be willing to help with some of the seniors in our community. And their point was giving community for some of those people who can't do the painting back or to o things that needs are there. Maybe the dollars aren't. yW would bef the willing to provide their labor free. What I wanted to see don e throw this open to you. I 've talked to Paul about this and it just to happens that I read in the Villager last night. Talking about op t eo Ialways stealing my thunder. Plymouth and Norwest Bank had come in to paint a home for one of our senior citizens which is neat. I think that's great. But I also feel that a lot of this should be done right within the community and it's neat to see that corporations do this. The corporation I work for do the same thing in Minneapolis. Go out and dozen houses in a year . But of course these Pto p a People are w the time and the energies. The products to be illllin ng maybe to provide ! e put on the homes or something being taken care of or something within the yard where you don't have the time or the way of accomplishing maybe a broken tree or whatever might happen. These six , and I 'm looking to try to expand that. I 'd like to also see that expanded. There may be more peole who would like to do this. But they came to me with ittand saidcwen'dnlike to do this and I thought that was really neat. 'Bragg: That 's one of the things as a group we're tr in of resources. My experience was that I injured myself on to having been sick right before that and I needed some household help and I did call Ilt arver County. Was going to utilize this resource and they sent out a erson. They evaluated me and I took them all through the house and I showed them where I would need help and I said I am improving so it's emporary. I just need it for a little while. And as the days went by and lithe weeks went by, they never found this person until I had just about Igiven up and I thought I'm going to do this myself. There's no reason why can't. Some things I couldn't do and then they came up with somebody. he came once and then she decided she wasn't going to offer to do that anymore. I thought well maybe I gave her more than she should have done Itut she said no. See I talked with her . But I just assumed it was robably the wages she got and that was set by that commission. So I think hat we really need to work on that because even those things they say they have. That they have that service, they really don't because they aren't I ieying enough and so there's some things we need, we have objectives I nk that we could write on and submit that to Carver it in our own community, here in Chanhassen would bewonderful . But to have I/ayor Chmiel : Those are some of the things that I think really makes u his community. p Ilragg: They're realistic. I 41 Senior Commission Meeting August 16, 1991 - Page 7 Mayor Chmiel : Yeah. Chanhassen is really much different from what I 've ever seen in other locations. It's sort of neat to see people wanting to provide those kinds of things. I know that there are more people that are out there and all we have to do is just accomplish that list and those calls that can come in to provide their time for this. And these are . people that work their normal jobs but they're willing to do this maybe in the evening or on weekends. On a Saturday or whatever . I don't think they can be rebuilding homes but they can sure take care of some of the needs that sometime frustrates us not being able to accomplish them. Bragg: Even putting in a light bulb is something you can't do . Mayor Chmiel : Yep, and I was going to say watt but I thought. My hearing's okay. But anyway, that's just about what I had in mind and wanted to discuss a little bit and I 'll let it go from there. li Bragg: Well Mayor Chmiel , we're very, very happy you came and expressed yourself in these ways. There are things that we would like to do and li there are things that we can do just beyond our needs for recreational space and all of that so thank you very much. We will proceed on this and we want to do this . It's good to have your support. Thank you very much. Mayor Chmiel : Thank you. PRESENTATION BY MS. JULIE BENTZ. SENIOR ANSWER LINE. lk Julie Bentz: Thank you for having me here today. I 'm with Senior Resources. Actually that's the agency that I work for and I 'm working on a 1 special project. Our program called the Senior Answer Line and the Senior Answer Line network is, just to give you a quick overview of what we're doing with the program and how I got involved with coming to this meeting today is Federally funded program that is being organized through Senior Resources which is a non-profit organization serving Hennepin County and ili actually some of the surrounding counties and our mission with the program is to increase the information referral network capability in Hennepin County, and if Scott , Carver and Anoka counties are interested in working with this whole network, helping to build their capacity for older adults. In lay people's terms I guess you'd say what we're trying to do is help people link up with resources. Older adults with resources in their communities so they're having to go through 14 or 15 different stops. You 've been getting a lot in the mail . So they don't have to make a whole lot of different calls or make a whole lot of different contacts trying to get the services that they need. Before I actually started with the program, a whole bunch of service providers and consumers and funders got together to look at what some of the biggest issues or problems or concerns ilk related to older adults was in Hennepin County. One of the top priorities right up there with transportation and caregiver support and all that, was that people were saying they were just having so much trouble knowing where the resources were in their community. And largely the reason for that is that a lot of times none of us expect to need some kinds of services. We don't anticipate needing some home maintenance services. We don't expect that we're going to be the one that's going to fall and hurt our hip or silli that our spouse is going to get sick and not be able to mow the lawn or whatever .
