As of July 19th we are at 330 calls for the year, down 148 from 478 at the same time last year. Since our last report we have had no structure fires. We responded to mutual aid at Victoria and Eden Prairie for structure fires. All Fourth of July activities went on without any incidents from the fire department's point of view. Fire Training: This past month the Fire Department practiced positive pressure ventilation and smoke removal from underground parking garages at the Powers Ridge Apartments. This training was completed with a scenario four weeks later at the Senior Housing. Also, the Fire Department participated in a mock water rescue at Lake Ann Park that involved three victims. Three rookies have completed the 1 st Responder course this month and the final rookie will be certified EMT in the upcoming weeks. Fire Inspections: Inspections are going very well. At Presbyterian Homes the first building is fully sheetrocked with acceptance tests starting soon. Holiday Inn is also close to calling for final tests and inspections. Plans are being reviewed for the new pharmacy store, the new Shell gas station/car wash, Market Street Station and Building C next to the Chanhassen Community Bank. Todd Gerhardt July 21, 2003 Page 2 There have been no fire incidents to report. There were also no fireworks related fires or calls to the fire department concerning fireworks. There were a total of four businesses that applied for permits to sell fireworks. The business is required to have a fire inspection prior to receiving the permit. All businesses meet the requirements without any problems. Memo To: From: Date: Mayor City Council Sgt. Jim Olson 07~20~04 Re: Items for July Council Meeting 2. 3. 4.

the worse it gets Page 1 of 2 startribune.com John Gunyou: gets John Gunyou Published June 23, 2004 Close window The longer you wait to fix budget gap, the worse it I'm beginning to understand why our governor and legislators are having so much trouble fixing our now perpetual budget crisis. They can't even agree on the shape of the conference table, much less what they really need to talk about. If and when they stop all their petty bickering and finally get around to the real budget issues, I have three tips for them: · First, be honest. Stop cooking the books to make things look better than they are. When you ignore inflation, you make politically popular promises you can't afford -- like your decision to take over school funding. That alone caused at least half the crisis. Just as the recession hit, you permanently increased the total state budget by 10 percent, with no way to pay for that huge ongoing commitment. Forgo the political spin and listen to your finance professionals. Commissioner Peggy Ingison and economist Tom Stinson know what they're talking about. You don't. · Second, truly balance the budget. Until ongoing revenue covers ongoing spending, you haven't really fixed the problem. You're still spending over a million dollars more a day than you're taking in. The longer you wait to fix that gap, the worse it gets. That's why we're facing a fourth straight year of deficits. It's not the economy, stupid, it's your own fiscal mismanagement. A little history illustrates what I'm talking about: Two years ago, Gov. Jesse Ventura faced an 8 percent budget shortfall. In response, he proposed a balanced "Big Fix." Unfortunately, you temporarily patched together the budget with nearly all one-time quick fixes. By ignoring the need to balance ongoing revenue with ongoing spending, you delayed the day of reckoning until after your election, thereby doubling the 2004-05 deficit. Gov. Tim Pawlenty's fix for the 18 percent deficit you all created was about one-third one-time revenue; a small share was new fees, and the vast majority was service cuts -- cuts that were three times greater than would have been necessary had you simply done the right thing a year earlier. Those huge cuts were the consequence of your one-time gimmicks and no-tax pledg.es. Times are tough not because of the recession, but because of irresponsible financial management. The continuing crisis is self-inflicted. · And finally, focus on the future. Your real challenge is that billion-dollar crisis waiting for you after this year's election, not the current $160 million gap. Don't take the easy way out again and simply make things worse. http://www.startribune.com/viewers/story.php?template=print_a&story=4841784 6/25/2004 Printer version: John Gunyou: The longer you wait to fix budget gap, the worse it gets Page 2 of 2 A decade ago, Gov. Arne Carlson inherited a 12 percent budget shortfall. To permanently resolve that crisis, we used a balanced solution: one-half was fixed by slowing the rate of growth in government with permanent cuts, one-fourth was new revenue, and one-fourth was one-time fixes that allowed the permanent spending and revenue changes to phase in. It was certainly painful for the first couple of years, but our responsible solution enabled a decade of financial stability, job growth and tax rebates. Isn't that what it's supposed to be all about? Worrying more about the next generation than about the next election? Isn't it time to honestly face the facts, focus on the future and truly balance the budget? John Gunyou is Minnetonka's city manager He served as Gov. Arne Carlson 's finance commissioner the last time the state didn't have any money. Copyright 2004 Star Tribune.

DEW E NTE R. VI E RE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT June 2, 2004 Board of Commissioners Southwest Metro Transit Commission Eden Prairie, Minnesota i I i I We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of the Southwest Metro Transit Commission, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003, as listed in the Table of Contents. These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the Commission's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States..Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion the general purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Southwest Metro Transit Commission as of December 31, 2003, and the results of its operations and changes in its fund balances for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated June 2, 2004 on our consideration of the Commission's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. This report is an integral part of a Government Auditing Standards audit, and in considering the results of the audit, this report should be read along with the auditor's report on the financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting policies of the Commission conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to governmental units. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies. A. Financial Reporting Entity The Southwest Metro Transit Commission (SMTC) is a replacement transit agency, operated under a joint powers agreement by and for the cities of Chanhassen, Chaska and Eden Prairie, Minnesota. The Commission was organized in July 1986 for the purpose of providing public transit services to the participating cities, which cover 81 square miles and are located in Carver and Hennepin Counties. SMTC provides fixed route express, reverse commute, and local fixed route services. For financial reporting purposes, the Commission's financial statements include all funds and account groups over which the Commission exercises financial accountability. The Commission does not have any component units. B. Fund Accounting The accounts of the C(~mmission are organized on the basis of funds and account groups, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Government resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which expending activities are controlled. The Commission uses the following fund types and account groups: Governmental Funds The General Fund is the general operating fund of the Commission. It is used to account for all financial resources and transit operations except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the financial resources dedicated to the provision of reverse commuter alternate services, the proceeds from the sale of property and the water and sewer settlement. Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, general long-term debt principal, interest and related costs of general long- term debt. 9 SOUTHWEST METRO TRANSIT COMMISSION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES B. Fund Accounting (Continued) Governmental Funds (Continued) Capital Projects Funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities. Capital Projects Funds that are used to account for funds received through the Metropolitan Council (MC), MnDOT, debt proceeds and other financial resources. The Funds are to be used for the acquisition or construction of capital facilities and related costs, and for the purchase of buses and bus equipment, facility improvements and information technology systems. Account Groups General Fixed Assets Account Group is used to account for the property and equipment, typically considered capital assets, used in the operation and administration of the transit services. General Long-Term Debt Account Group is used to account for long-term debt expected to be financed from the governmental fund types. C. Measurement Focus, Fixed Assets and Long-Term Liabilities The accounting and reporting treatment applied to the fixed assets and long-term liabilities associated with a fund are determined by its measurement focus. All governmental funds are accounted for on a spending or "financial flow" measurement focus. This means that only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on their balance sheets. Their reported fund balance (net current assets) is considered a measure of "available spendable resources". Governmental fund operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of sources and uses of available spendable resources during a period. Fixed assets used in governmental fund type operations (general fixed assets) are accounted for in the General Fixed Assets Account Group, rather than in governmental funds. No depreciation has been provided on general fixed assets. All fixed assets are valued at their historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated fixed assets are valued at their estimated fair value on the date donated. Long-term liabilities expected to be financed from governmental funds are accounted for in the General Long-Term Debt account group, not in the governmental funds. 10 SOUTHWEST METRO TRANSIT COMMISSION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES C. Measurement Focus, Fixed Assets and Long-Term Liabilities (Continued) Because of their spending measurement focus, expenditure recognition for governmental fund types is limited to exclude amounts represented by noncurrent liabilities. Since they do not affect net current assets, such long-term amounts are not recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund liabilities. They are instead reported as liabilities in the General Long- Term Debt Account Group. The two account groups, General Fixed Assets and General Long-Term Debt Account Groups, are not "funds". They are concerned only with the measurement of financial position. They are not involved with measurement of results of operations. D. Basis of Accounting Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurement made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. All governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting, in which revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available as net current assets. The most significant revenues which have been accrued are intergovernmental revenues. The Commission considers revenues available if they are collected within 60 days after year-end. Expenditures are generally recognized, in the modified accrual basis of accounting, when the related fund liability is incurred. Exceptions to this general rule include sick pay and principal and interest on general long-term debt, which are recognized when due. E. Budgetary Data The Commission annually prepares an operating budget for the General Fund. The budget is prepared on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). State statutes define the amount of funding. Budget amounts are amended only upon approval of the Commission's Board. Budgeted amount in the financial statements are as amended. Capital project budgets are prepared for purposes of activities related to the capital funding agreements. Project budget appropriations are available through the stipulated term of the capital funding agreements. F. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. 11 SOUTHWEST METRO TRANSIT COMMISSION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES G. Encumbrances Encumbrances represent outstanding purchase orders and unfulfilled commitments that are issued to outside vendors and budgeted in the current year but do not include amounts that are set up as liabilities, amounts for personal services to be performed by SMTC employees and purchase orders applicable to the subsequent year's budget. As of December 31, 2003 no outstanding encumbrances existed. H. Cash and Investments Cash balances from all funds are combined and invested to the extent available in authorized investments. Earnings from such investments are allocated to the respective funds on the basis of applicable cash balance participation by each fund. Investments are carried at fair value, which approximates cost. I. Compensated Absences The Commission compensates its employees for unused personal leave and sick leave benefits in the event of separation. Amounts vested that are not expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources are reported in the General Long-Term Debt Account Group. J. Fund Equity Fund equity is divided into sections as follows: Investment in general fixed assets represents the Commission's equity in general fixed assets. Fund balance accounts are classified as follows: Reserved accounts represent those portions of fund balance which are not appropriable for expenditure or are legally segregated for a specific future use. Unreserved, designated accounts indicate the portion of the fund balance which has been designated for a specific purpose. The unreserved, undesignated account is the portion of the fund balance which is available for budgeting and expending in furore periods. 12 SOUTHWEST METRO TRANSIT COMMISSION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES K. Revenues and Expenditures 1. Revenues Prior to 1997, SMTC and other replacement transit agencies in the Twin Cities metropolitan area received their funding from the Metropolitan Council (MC), the governmental unit responsible for the planning and development of the seven-county Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. SMTC's main source of operating funds, transit taxes, was collected by the MC and then distributed to SMTC pursuant to a subsidy contract under the authority of Minnesota Statutes. As of January 1, 1997, funding for the Commission changed from the MC subsidy to the local levy option. Instead of the MC levying taxes and remitting a portion of these taxes to the Commission, the member cities of the Commission had the authority to levy taxes for transit purposes. These taxes are collected like any other property tax levies except the participating cities receive the money from the county and it is the responsibility of the City to forward the funds to the Commission. In the 2001 Special Session of the Minnesota Legislature, the statutes providing for transit funding'were amended to eliminate property tax as the source of funding and provide transit funding by appropriations from the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET). Effective July 1, 2002, 20.5% of the MVET is dedicated to transit. This amount was increased to 21.5% in July 2003. The opt-out statute was amended to provide that the MC must grant financial assistance to the opt-out transit system in an amount no less than the amount levied for that system in the calendar year 2001. Capital funding contracts between the MC or MnDOT and the Commission are for specific capital projects and moneys are available from year-to-year until the projects for which the funds were allocated are completed or until the end of the grant term, whichever occurs first. 2. Expenditures Expenditure recognition for governmental fund types includes only amounts represented by current liabilities. Since noncurrent liabilities do not affect net current assets, they are not recognized as governmental fund expenditures or fund liabilities. They are reported as liabilities in the General Long-Term Debt Account Group. L. Comparative Data Comparative total data for the prior year have been presented in the accompanying financial statements in order to provide an understanding of changes in the Commission' s financial position and operations. 13 SOUTHWEST METRO TRANSIT COMMISSION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES M. Total Columns on General Purpose Financial Statements Total columns on the general purpose financial statements are captioned "memorandum only" to indicate that they are presented only to facilitate financial analysis. Data in these columns does not present financial position or results of operations in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. N. Interfund Transactions Quasi-external transactions are accounted for as revenues, expenditures or expenses. Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures or expenses initially made from it that are properly applicable to another fund are recorded as expenditures or expenses in the reimbursing fund and as a reduction of expenditures or expenses in the fund that is reimbursed. All other interfund transactions, except quasi-external and reimbursements, are reported as transfers. Nonrecurring or nonroutine permanent transfers of equity are reported as residual equity transfers. All other interfund transfers are reported as operating transfers. NOTE 2 - DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS AND ACCOUNT GROUPS A. Assets 1. Cash and Investments (Including Cash Equivalents) Cash balances of the Commission's funds are combined (pooled) and invested to the extent available in various investments authorized by Minnesota Statutes.

Liabilities 1. Defined Benefit Pension Plans- Statewide a. Plan Description All full-time and certain part-time employees of the SMTC, are covered by defined benefit pension plans administered by the Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA). PERA administers the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) which is a cost-sharing, multiple-employer retirement plan. The plan is established and administered in accordance with Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353. PERF members belong to the Coordinated Plan or the Basic Plan. Coordinated Plan members are covered by social security. All new members must participate in the Coordinated Plan. PERA provides retirement benefits as well as disability benefits to members, and benefits to survivors upon death of eligible members. Benefits are established by state statute, and vest after three years of credited service. The defmed retirement benefits are based on a member's highest average salary for any five successive years of allowable service, age and years of credit at termination of service. 17 SOUTHWEST METRO TRANSIT COMMISSION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 NOTE 2 - DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS AND ACCOUNT GROUPS B. Liabilities (Continued) 1. Defined Benefit Pension Plans - Statewide (Continued) a. Plan Description (Continued) Two methods are used to compute benefits for PERF's Coordinated members. The retiring member receives the higher of a step-rate benefit accrual formula (Method 1) or a level accrual formula (Method 2). Under Method 1, the annuity accrual rate for a Basic Plan member is 2.2% of average salary for each of the first 10 years of service and 2.7% for each remaining year. The annuity accrual rate for a Coordinated Plan member is 1.2% of average salary for each of the first 10 years and 1.7% for each remaining year. Under Method 2, the annuity accrual rate is 2.7% of average salary for Basic Plan members and 1.7% for Coordinated Plan members for each year of service. For all PERF members whose annuity is calculated using method 1, a full annuity is available when age plus years of service equal 90. Normal retirement age is 65 for Basic and Coordinated members hired prior to July 1, 1989. Normal retirement age is the age for unreduced social security benefits capped at 66 for Coordinated Members hired on or after July 1, 1989. A reduced retirement annuity is also available to eligible members seeking early retirement. There are different types of annuities available to members upon retirement. A normal annuity is a lifetime annuity that ceases upon the death of the retiree--no survivor annuity is payable. There are also various types of joint and survivor annuity options available which will reduce the monthly normal annuity amount, because the annuity is payable over joint lives. Members may also leave their contributions in the fund upon termination of public service in order to qualify for a deferred annuity at retirement age. Refunds of contributions are available at any time to members who leave public service, but before retirement benefits begin. The benefit provisions stated in the previous paragraphs of this section are current provisions and apply to active plan participants. Vested, terminated employees who are entitled to benefits but are not receiving them yet are bound by the provisions in effect at the time they last terminated their public service. PERA issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for PERF and PEPFF. That report may be obtained on the web at mnpera.org, by writing to PERA at 60 Empire Drive, Suite 200, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55103 or by calling (651) 296-7460 or 1-800-652-9026. 18 SOUTHWEST METRO TRANSIT COMMISSION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 NOTE 2 - DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS AND ACCOUNT GROUPS B. Liabilities (Continued) 1. Defined Benefit Pension Plans - Statewide (Continued) b. Funding Policy Minnesota Statute Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions. These statutes are established and amended by the state legislature. The Commission makes annual contributions to the pension plans equal to the amount required by state statutes. Coordinated Plan members are required to contribute 5.10% of their annual covered salary. The SMTC is required to contribute 5.53% of annual covered payroll for Coordinated Plan PERF members. The Commission's contributions to the Public Employees Retirement Fund for the years ending December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were $ 47,750, $ 46,955 and $40,542, respectively. The Commission's contributions were equal to the contractually required contributions for each year as set by state statute. 2.

In January 2003 the entire debt was retired. 19 SOUTHWEST METRO TRANSIT COMMISSION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 NOTE 2 - DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS AND ACCOUNT GROUPS B. Liabilities (Continued) 2. Long-Term Debt (Continued) In June 2002, SMTC entered into a capital lease agreement for the construction of the fifth level of the parking ramp and bus garage expansion in the mount of $ 3,500,000. The agreement requires semi-annual payments in the amount of $199,258, interest at 4.75% during the first 10 years. Principal amounts maturing after ten years will be subject to reset and will initially bear interest at an annual rate of 4.75% and in the fifth year and tenth year the interest rate on those principal amounts will be adjusted to equal 92% of the five year advanced fixed rate as quoted by the Seattle Federal Home Loan Bank. Payments are required through July 15, 2014. On January 23, 2003 the SMTC designated $ 2,500,000 from the proceeds of the sale of SMTC property to be set aside in a reserve pledged to the debt service payments for this $ 3,500,000 capital lease.

In order to protect against these risks of loss, the Commission purchases commercial insurance through the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust, a public entity risk pool. This pool currently operates common risk management and insurance programs for municipal entities. The Commission pays an annual premium to the League for its insurance coverage. The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust is self-sustaining through commercial companies for excess claims. The Commission is covered through the pool for any claims incurred but unreported, however, retains risk for the deductible portion of its insurance policies. The amounts of these deductibles are considered immaterial to the financial statements. The Commission's workers compensation insurance policy is retrospectively rated. With this type of policy, final premiums are determined after loss experience, workers compensation rates and salaries for the year are known. The final premium adjustment was recorded in the year the adjustment was made. During the year ended December 31, 2003, there were no significant reductions in insurance coverage from the prior year. Settled claims have not exceeded the Commission's commercial coverage in any of the past three years. 21 SOUTHWEST METRO TRANSIT COMMISSION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS In May of 1997, the Commission entered into a transit service contract with a service provider for a term of 60-months for purposes of delivering bus services in connection with its Express Route, Circulator/Shuttle and Dial-A-Ride programs. The Commission extended this contract in 2003 for a period of three years beginning in May 2003 and ending April 30, 2005. The subcontract agreement contains contract termination options available to the Commission. Payments to the transit provider are contingent upon the actual level of services rendered, using rates established in the subcontract agreement. The Commission participates in the Replacement Service Program and a capital funding agreement administered by the MC. To the extent that program expenditures may be disallowed as a result of a program compliance audit, a liability to the MC would result.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING BASED ON AN AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GO VERNMENTA UDITING STANDARDS June 2,2004 ! i ! I Board of Commissioners Southwest Metro Transit Commission Eden Prairie, Minnesota We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the Southwest Metro Transit Commission, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003, and have issued our report thereon dated June 2, 2004. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. I I I COMPLIANCE As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Commission's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. I I I I INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Commission's internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial reporting. However, we noted certain matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be reportable conditions. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control over financial reporting that, in our judgment, could adversely affect the Commission's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data consistent with the assertions of the Council in the financial statements. The reportable condition is described below: I The Commission had a lack of segregation of accounting duties due to a limited number of office employees. ! 35 KDV KERN- D~WENTER.VIERE A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control that might be reportable conditions and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all reportable conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses. However, we do not believe the reportable condition described is a material weakness. This report is intended solely for the information of management, Board of Commissioners and state and federal oversight agencies and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than those specified parties.

The Commission's major federal programs are identified in the Summary of Auditor's Results section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs is the responsibility of the Commission's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Southwest Metro Transit Commission's compliance based on our audit. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments and Nonprofit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Commission's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on the Commission's compliance with those requirements. In our opinion, the Southwest Metro Transit Commission, complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended December 31, 2003. ! 37 KERN. DeWENTER.VI'ERE INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE The management of the Southwest Metro Transit Commission is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Commission's internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133. We noted a certain matter involving the internal control over compliance and its operation that we consider to be a reportable condition. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control over compliance that, in our judgment, could adversely affect the Commission's ability to administer a major federal program in accordance with the applicable requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. The reportable condition is described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs as item 02-1. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that non- compliance with the applicable requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants that would be material in relation to a major federal program being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. Our consideration of the internal control over compliance would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control that might be reportable conditions and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all reportable conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses. However, we do not believe that the reportable condition described is a material weakness. This report is intended for the information of management, the Board of Commissioners and state and federal awarding and regulatory agencies and is not intended to be, and should not be used by anyone other than those specified parties.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the provisions of the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Local Government, promulgated by the Legal Compliance Task Force pursuant to Minnesota Statute Sec. 6.65. Accordingly; the audit included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. The Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Local Government covers six main categories of compliance to be tested: contracting and bidding, deposits and investments, conflicts of interest, public indebtedness, claims and disbursements and miscellaneous provisions. Our study included all of the listed categories. The results of our tests indicate that for the items tested, the Commission complied with the material terms and conditions of applicable legal provisions, except as described on the Schedule of Findings on Compliance with Minnesota Statutes. This report is intended solely for the information of management, Board of Commissioners and state and federal oversight agencies and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than those specified parties.

The statute also requires the Commission to receive from all of its brokers an acknowledgement of the investment restrictions and agree to handle the Commission's accounts in accordance with the restrictions. During our audit, it was noted that the Commission did not send a written Statement of Investment Restrictions to all of its brokers prior to completing investment transactions; therefore, it did not receive an acknowledgement from all of its brokers stating its accounts will be handled in accordance with the restrictions.

INTRODUCTION GENERAL SESSION OVERVIEW A "BUDGETLESS" NIGHT The 2004 legislative session ended with a whimper rather than a bang. The 7:00 a.m. motion to adjourn sine die came in the wake of a grueling all night floor session. Though plenty of bills were passed between both bodies, no late night policy missiles were lobbed in either direction. Suffice to say, few people were able to take something home and most were left scratching their heads wondering just what really happened. Reminiscent of the days when Governor Ventura shut everyone out, this was political gridlock at its best. Important issues were left hanging by the wayside. In all fairness, the session wasn't a complete loss, even if compromise came on the heels of late night, last minute negotiations. Among the legislation concurred to and passed by both bodies were new science and social studies standards for public schools, limitations for owning dangerous animals, threshold blood alcohol levels for impaired drivers were reduced from .10 to .08 and job reference protection was enacted. Laying the groundwork for the 2004 Legislative session, the Governor outlined his priorities long before the session began. The initiatives seemed attainable and fair enough: fix the $160 million deficit, enact a modest bonding bill, strengthen sentences for sexual predators, house the homeless and clean up impaired waters - to name a few. Unfortunately, as the session drew to an uneventful close, the Senate and the House couldn't reach a global agreement on how to plug the $160 million budget deficit. After struggling to balance the $4.5 billion budget shortfall last year, a $160 million deficit said Chief of Staff, Dan McEIroy, is a "speed bump compared to the Mount Kilimanjaro of last year." So, making true on an earlier promise, Governor Pawlenty unilaterally solved the state's $160 million short fall. Wielding his pen in two executive orders, the Governor plugged the deficit by transferring federal funds from the Healthcare Access fund, cutting state agencies budgets by 3%, putting $18 million worth of bond sales on hold for previously authorized projects, and stepping up efforts to collect delinquent taxes. In the end, the Governor, the House and the Senate couldn't come to a consensus on the years major bills so they shut down; blaming each other all the way to the outskirts of our fair state. And we are left to look ahead to the 2005 session ..... or special session? I I I I I ! I I ! ! ! ! I I I STA SESSION OVERVIEW The 2004 session ended with big losses and small gains. It was a notable year for opt-out providers in that major bills of interest were not passed, including the $32 million in regional bonding authority, the 1% increase in MVET funding, and the bus driver duty of care provision. Another loss for transit was the Governor's 3% across the board cut to agencies, including the Metropolitan Council. However, there was a significant provision that would have been devastating to suburban transit service had it been enacted. Specifically, eliminating the MVET dedication and freezing the dollar amount for transit operations would have forced some reductions to existing service as well as curtailed the ability to provide express service in peak congestion periods to areas where demand is increasing. The impact would have been particularly damaging for opt-out providers due to the fact that all operating dollars come from MVET and fare box recovery, no other sources, such as general fund are allocated to opt-outs for operations. Thus, there was some positive out of what appears to be a significant lost opportunity in the 2004 Regular Legislative Session. The remainder of this report will focus on initiatives that were pursued this year at the Legislature that relate specifically to the Suburban Transit Association. As always, it has been a pleasure to work with the STA, and the lobbyists at Messerli & Kramer P.A. look forward to representing you at the Capitol in 2005 and beyond.

This provision would severely harm opt-out providers and make it more difficult to meet the growing demands for express transit service. Specifically: STA providers rely exclusively on MVST and fare box recovery to fund transit operations. The freeze would deny any additional operating funds as a result of the growth in MVST and would result in a decrease in the current service level, because inflationary budget increases would have to be absorbed with existing funds. Approximately 80% of opt-out service is express commuting service, an area of transit that is growing in ridership demand and plays a key role in rush hour congestion mitigation. Not having additional revenue xvould severely li~nit the ability of opt-out providers to meet the growing transit demand in the suburban area. Finally, the 2001 Property Tax Reform shifted transit operating funds to MVST, which was to provide a stable and growing funding source as an adequate replacement to the property tax. This provision is contrary to the 2001 Tax Reform. In conclusion, STA providers need the financial ability to meet current as xvell as increasing demands for express service and as a resnlt, seek your support in opposing the MVST freeze provision. 12 Members: Maple Grove Transit, Minnesota Valley Transit Authority, Plymouth Metrolink, Shakopce Area Transit, Southwest Metro Transit Commission Mayor Nancy 't-yra-l,uken5, Edca Prairie Chair, Submban Transit A%ociation Ma~yc::w~ary [lamann Rola[M, Apple Valley Elizabcdl Kai~tzSBumsv't Mayor 'l'om Brenf~an, Savage Mayor Mark 8~e/tfcnson City of Maple O~ovc a~or Tom Furlonm Cnann~ ~x 13 NORM COLEMAN M~NNESOTA WASHINGTON, DC 20510-2307 COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS CHAIRMAN PERMANENT SUBCOMMI'FFEE ON iNVESTIGATIONS COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN RELATIONS CHAIRMAN SUBCOMMITTEE ON WESTERN HEMISPHERE, PEACE CORPS, AND NARCOTICS AFFAIRS COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE, NUTRITION, AND FORESTRY COMMITTEE ON SMALL BUSINESS AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP July 14, 2004 Mayor Tom Furlong 7700 Market Blvd PO Box 147 Chanhassen MN 55317 Dear Mayor Furlong: Thank you for the warm welcome to the city of Chanhassen. The city is beautiful and the library was a perfect venue for our Children's Health and Nutrition Summit. I was especially impressed by the workers and citizens of Chanhassen who went above and beyond in order to aid my staff in preparing for this event. Between the great facilities and the willingness to help, it is no wonder that the day turned out to be a great one. Children's health and nutrition is a very prominent issue facing not only Minnesota, but the rest of the nation as well. The future health of our children and society rests on the changes and influences that we make today. Therefore, it was important for me to hold this summit in order to help educate my constituents, as well as myself, regarding the state of our children's health and what action is needed. Despite the numerous issues that children's health involves, I remain optimistic that in working together, something will be done to alleviate the problems of childhood obesity and poor health. Your efforts in pulling this summit together were a part of the first step in making positive changes towards a healthier future. Again, I thank you for your assistance in making the summit a success.

Certiorari appeal. o Judicial review by writ of certiorari to this Court is appropriate pursuant to R.C.A.P. 115.01, Naegele v. MCDA, 551 N.W.2d 235 (Minn. App. 1996) and Minn. Stat. § 606.01. Authority fixing time limit for appellate review: Minn. Stat. § 606.01. Date of event commencing appeal time: Decision was dated May 10, 2004. Application for relocation benefits pursuant to Minn. Stat. §§ 117.50 - I 17.56. Chanhassen Chiropractic Center, P.A. ("Chanhassen Chiropractic") became eligible for certain relocation advisory services, assistance, benefits and payments ("relocation benefits") when the City of Chanhassen ("City") forced it to move from its place of business as a result of the acquisition of the building in which it was located as part ora redevelopment project. Chanhassen Chiropractic was a tenant in the building purchased by the City located at 680 West 78th Street, Chanhassen, Minnesota. Chanhassen Chiropractic leased its business space from the City pursuant to a lease that began on April l, 1996 and terminated on June 30, 1998. Chanhassen Chiropractic continued to lease the space from the City thereafter on a month-to-month basis. In January 2002, Dr. Susan Lecy acquired Chanhassen Chiropractic via a stock purchase from the former owner, Dr. Donald W. Kristenson. On or about February 27, 2002, the City gave notice to Chanhassen Chiropractic that it had to vacate its place of business by April 1, 2002. However, the letter did not explain why the lease was being terminated and the City did not offer to provide any relocation advisory services or assistance to Chanhassen Chiropractic in the vacation notice. Despite the fact the City gave Chanhassen Chiropractic until April 1,2002 to vacate its premises, on March'8, 2002 the City filed an Eviction Action Complaint in Carver County District Court against Chanhassen Chiropractic for non-payment of rent for the months of January and February 2002. Based upon the notice to vacate, Chanhassen Chiropractic sought another suitable location for its business without any assistance from the City. On March 12, 2002, Chanhassen Chiropractic sent a letter to the City indicating it was going to pnrsue a claim for relocation benefits and requested a determination as to eligibility tbr these benefits from the City. On May 7, 2002, Chanhassen Chiropractic sent a letter to tile City requesting a determination from the City as to its eligibility tbr relocation benefits or in the alternative an administrative appeal hearing on the issue of eligibility, if the City denied its claim. Finally on May 15, 2002, the City sent notice to Chanhassen Chiropractic that it denied Chanhassen Chiropractic's claim for relocation benefits and advised Chanhassen Chiropractic that if it disagreed with the City's decision it could appeal the decision and reqnest an administrative appeal on the issue ot~ eligibility. On May 16, 2002, Chanhassen Chiropractic requested an administrative appeal hearing with a fair and impartial hearing officer on tile issue of eligibility. On May 22, 2002, the City sent a notice to Chanhassen Chiropractic that the administrative hearing would be belbre its City Council with the City Council acting in tile role of Ilearing Officer. On May 30, 2002, Chanhassen Chiropractic objected to the flint that the City essentially appointed itself to act in the role of the ltearing Officer. Subsequent to that letter, and after much district court and appellate litigation, on or about August 28, 2003, Chanhassen Chiropractic made another request for an administrative appeal hearing acquiescing to the use of the Chanhassen City Council as the Hearing Officer. Despite many subsequent requests, the date for the hearing was not set until April 21, 2004. On May 1 O, 2004, as Chanhassen Chiropractic predicted would happen during its first appeal to this Court, the Chanhassen City Council o . 4. concluded Chanhassen Chiropractic was not eligible tbr relocation benefits. The Chanhassen City Council also demonstrated that it is impossible for the elected representatives of the displacing agency to act in the dual roles of representatives of the respondent/defendant in an administrative appeal hearing and be a fair and impartial Hearing Officer in that administrative appeal hearing as well. Additionally, in Minnesota, there are certain actions from which attorneys must refrain in order to ensure the impartiality of a tribunal. One of the actions an attorney must avoid is that in an adversarial proceeding, "a lawyer shall not communicate or cause another to communicate as to the merits of'the case with the judge or an official before whom a proceeding is pending .... "Minnesota Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 3.5(g) (2002). When the City Council is acting in the role ora llearing Officer in a tribunal and the city attorney represents lhe City and lhe Cily Council it is impossible for that attorney to comply with Rule 3.5(g). Issue(s) to be raised on appeal. a. Whether common law and constitutional procedural due process principals mandate that the City of Chanhassen must appoint a fair and impartial Hearing Officer, rather than appointing its own City Council, for Chanhassen Chiropractic's relocation administrative appeal hearing. b. Whether a city attorney can comply with their duty as a zealous advocate and with Minnesota Rule of Professional Conduct 3.5(g) in an administrative appeal hearing were he represents and advises a City Council that has appointed itself in the role of a Hearing Officer and tribunal while being the Respondent in that action. e. Whether the City Council's decision denying Chanhassen Chiropractie's eligibility for relocation advisory services, assistance, benefits and payments pursuant to Minn. Stat. §§ 117.50 - 117.56 was an error of statutory interpretation. Related appeals. There are no other appeals pending in this matter before the Court of Appeals. Contents of record.

Eviction Stunmons and Statement of Claims dated March 18, 2002. Having carefully considered the written documents and information provided by Dr. Lecy-Lindall, Attorney 8ebtt ,'md Attorney Morphew,. file Panel makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The City purchased a building located at 680 West 78th Street near City Hall in 1996. Chanhassen Chiropractic Center, P.A. (hereinafter "ChanhaSsen Chiropractic"), a tenant in the building, was at that time owned and operated by Dr. Donald Kristenson. 2. Dr. Kristensoh, along with the other tenants, were allowed to continue their businesses since the City had no immediate need for the property. 3. The current owner of Chanhassen Chiropractic Center, P.A., Dr. Susan Lecy- Lindall, acquired her interest on January 1 l, 2002 with knowledge of the fact that the City would need possession of the property on April 1, 2002. Paragraph 3(d) of the Purchase Agreement dml2ed by Lecy-Lindall's attorney specifically referenced the April 1, 2002 relocation date. 4. Chanhassen ChiropractiC, upon the tr,'msfer of ownership to Dr. Lecy-Lindall in Janu,'u'y of 2002, did not make any further rent payments. 5. On March 8, 2002, the City served and filed ,-ua eviction summons and cmnplaint. Nonpayment of rent for January, February ,and March, 2002 and the transfer of ownership. 4. without the City's consent were the grounds for the eviction. Prior to tho March 26, 2002, eviction trial, Chanhassen Chiropractic vacated the premises. 7. The City was owed $6,326.25 in rent for J'ar~uary, February and March of 2002, plus late fees and penalties. Despite her last minute occupancy of the premises, Dr. Lecy-Lindall 111926 2 on behalf of Chanhassen Chiropractic, requested payment of relocation benefits, claiming that her business was displaced as a result of the 1996 acquisition of the property by file City. 8. The lease executed by Dr. Kristenson on behalf of Chanhassen ChiropractiC in 1'996 required written.consent by the City to any transfer ofthe lease by change in ownemhip of the shares of the corporation. Paragraph 13 stated: Lessee may not, voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise iransfer any fight of Lessee under this Lease without the prior written' cor~ent of the City. Any tnmsfer of this Le,'rse by merger, consolidation, relitmidation or any change in ownership of the shares of voting stoc. k, shall constitute an assignment of this Lease a_nd, · as such, shall require the prior written consent of the City, (emphasis added) 9. Based on this provision in Paragraph 13 of the lease, the change in ownership of the corporation constituted an assignment of the le,'rse the same as if it had been assigned to a different COrporation or individual. 10. For puq~oses of determining eligibility for relocation benefits, Chanhassen Chiropractic now owned by Dr. Leey-Lindall is a different entity from the corporation pt2eviously owned by Dr. Kristenson. 11. State law in 2002 defined a "displaced person" to mean any person [includes a corporation] "who moves from real property, or moves personal property frmn real property, as a result of acqUisition undertaken by an acquiring authority." Minn. Stat. § 117.50, subd. 3 (2002). bi. 12. Chanhassen Chiropractic owned by Dr. Lecy-Lind,'fll is not a "displaced person" because it did not move from this location as a result of the City's acquisition of the property in 1996. Dr. Leey-Lindall freely and voluntarily decided to move into the building eight years after it was acquired by the City, knowing that she hadto relocate in less'than three months. 111926 3 CAMPBELL KNUTSON Profcssion',d Association Attorneys at Law (651 ) 452-5000 Fax (651) 45%5550 July 19, 2004 John F.

Parks Director Bob Lambert said amain ac- cess to the city-owned Richard T. Anderson Conservation Area is currently under construc- tion. Located off Highway 212 in the southwest part of town. the access is ex- pected to be complete by a planned Sept. 7 dedication ceremony Lambert said the ac- cess will have a parking Graphic by lot to accommodate about 25 cars and a small picnic area near a trailhead. Also to be unveiled is a veritable Miller Spring II. Lam- bert says the farmhouse that had been located on land earmarked for the parking lot had a pristine spring that will quench the taste of many thirsty hikers for years To come. Currently, most residents who want to hike trails that wind through the 125 acres have to drive through a labyrinth of residential roads in the Settler's Ridge subdivision to reach a small parking area. "It's a very difficult way to try to find it." Lambert conceded. "It's really to accommodate the local residents from the north who want to use it. We're asking that most people come to High- way 212 and the main lot." Lambert hopes better access will turn the conservation area from a hidden treasure into a well-used amenity. Named for the late city councilman and parks commissioner who advo- cated for park, recreation and natural resource concerns, it was saved by voters via a bond referendum in 1994. "We really haven't advertised it or promoted it, and because of its location in the southwest cor- ner of our city, it's a long bike ride or walk for most people in town," he said. "I think the majority of the access will come from people parking in that (new) lot." Richard J. Anderson Conservation Area · Overlooks Highway 212 in southwestern Eden Prairie. [] Parking:Work currently under way on Highway 212 access {and parking). Should be completed by a Sept. 7 dedication ceremony. Until then. parking is available by driving into the Settler's Ridge subdivision off Pioneer Trail. Area for parking is off Frontier Place, I~ l~O~t~.: ;1{ {a~r~l~a'way has the most interesting variations of land. We have prairie, we have old- growth forest, we have hills, we have springs and creeks" Parks Director Bob Lambert JON BERG Lambert calls the conserva- tion area the "nicest piece of real estate" the city owns. He said it has old-growth forest, native prai- rie grasses, hills springs, creeks, and extreme spikes in elevation. Wildlife is plentiful. Walk its trails, and you'll probably come across a deer. a fox. a turkey, a rabbit, maybe even a coyote. Bring binoculars and you might get a dose-up view of an eagle or an osprey. The hike to the top of the hill overlooking Highway 212 isn't easy, but Lambert said the view is well worth the sweat. "If you've been up on those points and seen the incredible views of the Minnesota River Valley, it's a pretty spectacular area." he said. Lambert said the conserva- tion area just got a little bit big- ger. Actually four acres bigger thanks to a donation from resi- dent Steven Brown. The four acres are located edong the Minnesota River Bltfffs. immediately east of the conser- vation area. Brown suggested the city consider recreating the trout pond that he and Darril Peterson (who lived on the farm where the parking lot is being built) began in 1970. He thinks that would be a nice amenity for the conserva- tion area. Lambert likes the idea, not- ing th'ere haven't been trout there Thursday, July 8, 2004 Eden Prairie News Page 9 since 1987. He will meet with offi- cials of the Department of Natu- ral Resources to determine if it can be done. "It's my goal that the city eventually re-dredge those ponds and put the dyke back in place and provide trout fishing again." he said "Stock it so the punic can enjoy it." Currently, a group of resi- dents headed by Vicki Pellar-Price is developing an Elizabeth Fry El- let Interpretive Trail program. The traJt~vill consist of six signs and include information about plants and animals that live in the conservation area as well as passages from "Summer Rambles in the West." Ellet, who is responsible for Eden Prairie's name. wrote the book after visit- ing the area at the request of the New York Times. Pellar-Price's group is at- tempting to raise $36.000 for the trail ro be built. To help with the cost. Dunn Bros. Coffee will host a fundrais- er and festival at its location in the Smith-Douglas-More House. 8107 Eden Prairie Road, from 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday, July 15.
