Resolution R- 93 -28, relating to Human Rights Commission's findings and amending certain 1) A MINUTES MAY 26, 1993 PAGE 2 portions of the city's Administrative Manual c. Ordinance 0 -93 -04 excluding guide dogs and K -9 dogs from the regulation prohibiting animals in city parks CLAIM FOR PARTIAL REIMBURSEMENT FOR SIDEWALK RECONSTRUCTION AT 1603 NORTHROP Baldwin explained that the petitioner, Ms. Carolyn Collins, 1603 Northrop, had responded to the city's 1992 request to repair the sidewalk and had the sidewalk completely reconstructed. Ms. Collins is now requesting some reimbursement as the sidewalks are now included in the 1993 improvement project and the cost which would have been assessed with the project is considerably less than the price Ms. Collins paid a private constractor. During a discussion of the matter at the May 12th assessment hearing Council agreed that there should be some reimbursement. He stressed that council must be cautious that any payment does not constitute giving a gift of taxpayers' money to a private property owner and that city policy does not allow individual private residents to expend tax money as the city obtains better prices when contracting for city projects. He felt that the staff recommendation that the reimbursement be based on the estimated general tax fund cost to the city as part of the project, $690.25, would meet the guidelines. Gibson Talbot arrived at this time. A lengthy disucssion ensued regarding various formulas which might be used to determine an appropriate amount of reimbursement, such amounts ranging from $1,002.00 to the $690.00 recommended by staff, whether or not the sidewalk repair letter prompted the property owner's decision to reconstruct the sidewalk, and if the portion of sidewalk reconstructed on a neighboring property should be included in the reimbursement. Following the discussion Jacobs moved that as a compromise an amount of $800.00 be reimbursed. Ms. Collins felt that by doing the whole neighborhood the city is giving more subsidy to the other property owners. She also indicated that she and some other neighbors did not receive the August 17, 1992 letter, but she now has a copy which she felt indicated the street project might damage an existing sidewalk, not that there might be reconstruction with the street project. She indicated that the city was premature in sending sidewalk letters, thus not giving her an opportunity to participate in the city project, and asked that council take that into consideration. After further discussion a vote was taken on the motion. The following voted in favor of reimbursement in the amount of R AFT MINUTES MAY 26, 1993 PAGE 3 $800.00: Baldwin, Ciernia, Gehrz and Jacobs, and the following voted against the same: Gibson Talbot. Motion carried. REVIEW AND ACCEPTANCE OF SCHOOL PLAN FOR FALCON HEIGHTS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL John Thein, representing the school district introduced school officials, school board members, and project architect, John Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton gave a slide presentation on the site and floor plans for the improvements, and responded to questions. Gehrz left the meeting at this time. Following the presentation Cierna moved adoption of the renovation plans for Falcon Heights Elementary School,conditional upon review by the city engineer. Motion carried unanimously. REQUEST FOR LOT SPLIT FROM MARILYN E. RAYMOND A. SANFORD, 1739 FAIRVIEW Council considered the request to split the lot at 1739 Fairview into two residential lots to accommodate the construction of a new home on the westerly lot facing Lindig Street. The public hearing on this issue was held by the planning commission on May 24, 1993 after which that body unanimously recommended approval. Westerberg indicated there were a few drainage issues to be addressed, however this can be acccomplished as the project proceeds. He will request the surveyor to determine the easement on Lindig which is to be deeded to the city. Westerberg stated he was comfortable with the lot split. Gibson Talbot moved that Resolution R -93 -29 be adopted contingent upon review and approval of the city engineer. Motion carried unanimously. RESOLUTION R -93 -29 A RESOLUTION APPROVING A LOT SPLIT REQUEST FROM R. A. AND MARILYN E. SANFORD, 1739 FAIRVIEW AVENUE ACCEPTANCE OF BID FROM F. M. FRATTALONE EXCAVATING AND GRADING, INC. FOR 1993 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Westerberg recommended that the bid for the 1993 street improvement project be awarded to F. M. Frattalone Excavating and Grading, Inc. at a price of $758,643.75. Jacobs moved adoption of Resolution R -93 -30 which carried unanimously.

Your support of RSVP has enabled us to continue our present level of benefits to the seniors we serve and to reach into the community to recruit and place approximately 200 new volunteers each year. While RSVP receives a portion of its funding from federal and state sources, 51% must be raised through local contributions. As a result, we urge you to consider matching your past contribution of $30.00 or increasing it to $50.00 this year. We know that you and your colleagues at City of Falcon Heights appreciate the enormous humanitarian contribution RSVP Volunteers make to your organizaiton, to your clientele, and to our larger community. The economic contribution is equally great. In 1992 RSVP Volunteers contributed 364 hours of service to City of Falcon Heights. The dollar value of these hours of service calculated at an average wage amounts to $3,938.48. Together we can continue our partnership to promote senior volunteerism while addressing community needs. We urge you to continue your past support to enable us to reach these goals.

This was the lowest of the three quotes received. The department has now been informed by Motorola that they cannot sell at that price. Apparently the salesman made an error on the quote by giving 30% off the total bill rather than 30% off the HT600 radio only. This results in an additional $716.05 making a total cost of $5,679.05, which is $929.43 less than the next lowest quote of $6,608.48. Staff recommends that the additional $716.05 be authorized in order that the equipment may be purchased without further delay.

Attached is copy of the information which was presented at that meeting and a copy of the meeting minutes. Although there were some questions as to why the alleys needed to be reconstructed, the general consensus of those in attendance was that the reconstruction of the alleys in the Northome area should move forward. The issue of whether or not the City Council would consider changing the current assessment policy and contribute to the cost of the improvement was discussed. If the City Council desires to move forward with the reconstruction of the alleys in this area, it would seem the most important issue to address is whether or not the City will be modifying their assessment policy and contributing to the cost of the project. If, in fact, the City decides to participate in the cost of the construction, the next question is whether or not funds are available to proceed with the 1994 Improvement Project. If the City Council desires moving forward in 1994, we would recommend authorizing the preparation of a Feasibility Study immediately. This would allow for the following proposed project schedule: Prepare Feasibility Study July /August 1993 Public Improvement Hearing September 1993 Project Design October- December 1993 Informational Hearing (Discuss design issues with residents) January 1994 Project Bidding March /April 1994 Assessment Hearing May 1994 Begin Construction June 1994 Construction Complete August 1994 1959 SLOAN PLACE, SUITE 200, ST.

MEMO TO: Residents in Northome Area FROM: Maier Stewart Associates Terry Maurer Bill Westerberg SUBJECT: Informational Meeting Summary Proposed Northome Area Alley Improvements DATE: June 1, 1993 FILE: 330 031 -10 We would like to thank those who attended the informational meeting on Tuesday, June 1, 1993, for their questions and comments. Following is a list of the questions and comments and a review of the key points from the meeting. The key points of the project are as follows: 1. It is proposed to reconstruct the alleys in the Northome area except for the alleys between Albert and Hamline Avenue and between Larpenteur and California Avenue. Existing alley widths vary between 11 and 19 feet, with a right -of -way width that varies between 18 and 20 feet. The existing bituminous pavement was originally constructed in 1955 according to information provided by the City Clerk, Ms. Shirley Chenoweth, and Mr. Vince Wright, the Maintenance Director. Two options were given for the alley reconstruction typical sections. Design Option 1: The alley would be reconstructed with an inverted crown approximately 16 feet wide with 3.5 inches of bituminous pavement and 10.5 inches of Class 5 aggregate base. In this option, drainage would be down the center of the alley and storm sewer added where available. Design Option 2: This option uses the same pavement section as design option 1 except that it incorporates a 3 -foot wide concrete valley gutter down the center of the alley. The width of the alley would increase to 19 feet because the minimum width a bituminous paver can make is 8 feet on either side of the concrete valley gutter. Negative to this design is that a waiver of trespass will be required on a few blocks for 19 -foot construction within an 18 -foot right -of -way. 1959 SLOAN PLACE, SUITE 200, ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 55117 612 7746021 9800 SHELARD PARKWAY, SUITE 102, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55441 612- 546-0432 Equal Opportunity Employer 031- 0404jun The estimated reconstruction costs per linear foot with overhead for each option is listed below: Option 1 $15 to $23 per front foot Option 2 $24 to $28 per front foot The City of Falcon Heights' current assessment policy states that all new alley reconstruction shall be totally assessed to the abutting properties. Assessments shall be on a front foot basis for the property frontage on the alley. Based on a typical 50 -foot wide frontage, the total assessment would range from $750 to $1,400 per lot. Following is a review of the questions and comments from the informational meeting for the Northome Area Alley Improvement project. 1. What happens if a resident does not have an access onto the alley? At this time, an exact determination as to who will be assessed and not assessed has not been done. 2. Terry Maurer, the City Engineer, explained the 429 Assessment Procedure, which includes the feasibility study, public hearing, plans and specifications, bidding the project, preparing the assessment roll, assessment hearing, and awarding the contract. 3. What is the life span of the improvement? A street/alley is typically designed for a 20 -year design life. At the end of 20 years, however, total reconstruction is not anticipated but rather surface rehabilitation such as an overlay. The total time to reconstruction can be expected to be 30 -40 years with proper maintenance. 4. What does the City of Falcon Heights do for maintenance on the alleys? Currently, the City seal coats a quarter of its alleys every four years and incorporated with that seal coating is minimal cutting and patching of the bad areas prior to the seal coat operation. 5. Is Design Option 2 with the concrete valley gutter considered the cadillac of the two design options? No, the cadillac for alley reconstruction would be an entire concrete alley. It is proposed to use either Design Option 1 or Design Option 2 interchangeably throughout the Northome area depending on the characteristics of each alley, such drainage, right -of -way width, and any surface obstructions that would prohibit one or the other design option from being installed. For assessment purposes, we believe that the City will try to treat everyone the same as far as their front footage assessment rate. If your street is chosen to receive a less costly design option than your neighbor, your neighbor should not be penalized because storm 031- 0404jun sewer has to be included on their alley or concrete valley gutter is needed for a complete job. 6. Should all alleys be reconstructed? No. Some may not be reconstructed. We will determine during the feasibility report which alleys should be reconstructed and which ones should not be reconstructed. 7. Will any maintenance be done until 1994 when alleys are proposed to be reconstructed? The City will decide if it is economically feasible to spend money to patch the bituminous on the existing alley, knowing that in the near future the alley may be reconstructed. 8. Do the valley gutters have to be three feet wide? No. They can be reduced to two feet. We still would need a waiver of trespass on the narrow right -of -way areas because typically it is required to have a foot outside of the proposed pavement for the paver. 9. Is the right -of -way actually 18 to 20 feet, because it appears much narrower? We have looked at the Ramsey County half section maps to determine the existing right of -way width. Because this is an older area, there may be garages that encroach within this right -of -way. We will know more about this when we get into the feasibility report and do a topographic survey of each of the alleys. 10. People who have driveways on side streets should not be assessed for alleys because they do not use the alley. A few years ago when some of the side streets were reconstructed, people who live on a corner were assessed a great deal more than people who do not live on a corner. Therefore, these residents would like to have a deduction or their assessment eliminated because they do not use the alleys. 11. If only one company provided garage pickup, the number of heavy vehicle trips down the alley would be greatly reduced. It was suggested that this is an issue the Solid Waste Commission may be considering in the future. 12. An option for the heavy garbage trucks driving down the alley would be to place the garbage out at the street on garbage pickup day. This would reduce traffic on the alleys. 13. Will badly deteriorated driveways adjacent to the alley be replaced or repaved? The City will rebuild parts of the driveways adjacent to the alley to match the alley. This will protect the City's investment in the alley reconstruction and prevent water from infiltrating the subbase. 031- 0404.jun 14. When will the streets in the Northome area be reconstructed? We are currently preparing the five -year capital improvement plan, and it does not appear that Northome streets will be included in this plan. 15. Who will decide which alleys will be reconstructed? The Falcon Heights City Council will decide which alleys will be reconstructed based on our recommendation in the feasibility report and testimony at a public improvement hearing. 16. How would City participation be increased on the project? City Council will likely review the Assessment Manual and the feasibility report and decide whether or not the current policy of 100% assessment should be changed. 17. What would the repayment period be for alley reconstruction assessment? If the assessment was approximately $1,000, we would propose a 3 to 5 year repayment period. The City of Falcon Heights has a senior citizen deferral system set up in their Assessment Manual. Based on age and income guidelines, seniors may apply for a deferral of their assessment. 18. Should a resident reconstruct his driveway now or wait until the alleys are reconstructed? We believe that you should wait until the City considers the alley reconstruction in a few months before reconstructing your driveway. With no further questions, the meeting was adjourned. WKW:tp 03 1-0404 jun Meeting Date: 6/23/93 Agenda Item: P 2 CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Proposed amendment to the commercial district development moratorium ordinance, Chapter 5 Section 5 Subdivision 3 (c) SUBMITTED BY: Planning Commission REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator Peter Bachman, City Attorney Fred Hoisington Planning Commission EXPLANATION /SUMMARY: As the staff and consultant proceeded with the commercial zoning study begun last fall, it became clear that there are several commercial uses that cannot be easily included or excluded from the city's proposed Snelling and Larpenteur commercial district without determining the statutory authority the city has over certain uses, the possible secondary impacts of certain uses and the best way to control certain uses (i.e. zoning, conditions, licensing). Although the development moratorium on the city's commercial districts currently restricts most of these uses from the city because they are not specifically listed permitted uses in the city's zones, the moratorium will be more effective if these uses are specifically identified for two reasons. First, it will clarify any possible ambiguities in what uses fall under the moratorium. Second, it will allow the city to remove most of the commercial uses from the development moratorium when the first phase of the zoning study is done and leave the more complex uses under the moratorium until the best way to regulate them is determined. The proposed list of these items does not mean that the city will or will not choose to exclude them from the final commercial zoning code. These uses appear because they may have secondary impacts on the city's business and residential neighborhoods and, therefore, require new or changes in conditions on the uses or new licensing requirements. Some uses may be excluded. The planning commission recommended the proposed ordinance change at its June 7, 1993 special meeting.

Pursuant to M.S. §462.355 Subd. 4, the city has the authority to establish interim ordinances to maintain the status quo while the city is conducting studies, has authorized a study to be conducted or has scheduled a public hearing to consider adoption or amendment of the comprehensive plan or official zoning controls. Subd. 2 Findings and purpose. In 1991 the city council adopted a comprehensive plan for the city. The Metropolitan Council approved that plan in April, 1992. A recommendation in the city's comprehensive plan included studying and .revising the city's commercial districts to conform to the plan and address future needs. In October, 1992, the city council contracted with the Hoisington Group, Inc. to carry out a planning study on all the city's commercial zones, to evaluate the appropriate uses in the commercial zones, to evaluate and recommend changes in the commercial zoning designations, to work with the property owners to determine future needs and to make recommendations to the planning commission and city council for revising the commercial zoning code provisions. The Hoisington Group, Inc. and the planning commission are currently working on this task. The city council has concluded that the granting of any permits or development approval, as specifically set forth in subd. 3, could destroy or impair the integrity of the planning process and that a development moratorium is necessary to preserve the status quo pending completion of the planning study. It is the intention of the city council to protect the described planning process and the health, safety and welfare of its citizens by adopting an interim ordinance for a reasonable period of time during the time period of the study, planning and implementation activities. d. The council may grant a hardship waiver only if it finds that: 1) the applicant has demonstrated a hardship by showing that the property cannot be put to a reasonable use without the waiver; 2) the waiver will not affect the integrity of the planning process and the purpose for which the ordinance was enacted; 3) the application is consistent with the current status of the planning study; 4) the application is for a use that is a listed permitted or conditional use in the applicable zoning district. e. The council may deny the waiver if it does not meet the criteria in this section or if it determines that its approval will negatively impact the planning study or the future land use and development in the city. Subd. 6 Term. This ordinance shall be effective upon publication and expire 365 days after the effective date or upon completion of the planning study and adoption of related ordinances, whichever is first.

SUBMITTED BY: Tom Baldwin, Mayor Sue Gehrz, Councilmember REVIEWED BY: EXPLANATION /SUMMARY: Ms. Rose Cherlin, 2165 Hoyt, has expressed concern over the proposed construction of a walkway in front of her home. Her home faces Coffman but has a Hoyt address. The proposed walkway would be quite close to her front door and bedroom windows and she would like this section of walk deleted from the project. In addition, construction of the walkway will necessitate severe trimming of two spruce, a crabapple and one birch tree on the property. Three spruce trees on Coffman along the commons area just north of the property will need to be removed. It is possible this stretch of walkway is not needed for pedestrian safety as the walkway from Larpenteur to Folwell will join the Folwell sidewalk allowing off street passage for pedestrians. Ms. Cherlin indicated that very few persons walk the Folwell to Hoyt section. The city engineers have met with Mr. and Mrs. Cherlin and will attend the council meeting for this discussion. The contractor indicated there would be no problem with the deletion of this section of the walkway from the contract. ACTION REQUESTED: Authorize deletion of the portion of the walkway on Coffman between Folwell and Hoyt :::Pol e MINUTES Solid Waste Commission Meeting May 13, 1993 Marty McCleery called the meeting to order at 7:03 p.m. COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: John Brynildson, Michael Haglund, Terry Iverson, Laura Kuettel (first half), Marty McCleery, Susan Smith, Shirley Chenoweth, staff representative, and Sam Jacobs, council liaison. COMMISSION MEMBERS ABSENT (BUT ACCOUNTED FOR): John Hustad, Nancy Misra, Lyle Wray, and Brian Standing, staff intern. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Michael Haglund moved and Terry Iverson seconded the approval of the minutes of the April 8, 1992, meeting. CHANGED MEETING DATE: The Commission discussed the change of its meeting date from the first Thursday to the second Thursday of each month. Members agreed that, despite some initial confusion, the new meeting date was appropriate. RAMSEY COUNTY SURVEY: Shirley Chenoweth reported that Ramsey County included 52 Falcon Heights businesses in its commercial recycling survey and that it made follow -up visits to 36 businesses for further discussion of their recycling efforts and needs. Of those businesses, 25 to 30 are pursuing recycling efforts. Some already had programs in place, while others are working with the County to establish programs. Some Northome tenants are combining their recycling efforts despite the absence of a facility -wide program. In addition, it was noted that some businesses are engaged in reuse and reduction efforts as well as recycling. Laura Kuettel suggested that information about the County's involvement be included in the City newsletter. The Commission discussed concentrating its efforts on reduction and residential recycling to avoid duplication of the County's focus on commercial recycling. MEGAMALL TOUR: Laura Kuettel moved and Michael Haglund seconded that the Commission invite the City Council along for a tour of the BFI waste processing facility at the Mall of America. The tour is scheduled for July 8, 1993, to take the place of the July Commission meeting. CHANGE OF COMMISSION NAME: The Solid Waste Commission is considering changing its name to reflect the present and future expansion of the scope of its functions. Laura Kuettel surveyed several cities with entities analogous to the FHSWC and found that "Solid Waste" is commonly used in their titles. "Environmental" is also widely used, as in New Brighton's Environmental Quality Commission. Commissioners are to bring name suggestions to the June meeting, where the matter will be subject to a vote. Members must be present to be eligible to vote. RAMSEY COUNTY RECYCLING COORDINATORS' MEETING: Commissioners and other interested people are welcome to attend these monthly meetings, and the May 20 meeting may be of particular interest to the Commission because the topic is waste reduction. Several members indicated that they may attend the meeting and report at the next Commission meeting. COMMISSION GOALS (CONTINUED): Laura Kuettel summarized the discussion at the April meeting of the Solid Waste Commission's goals for 1993 -94, which are to be included in the annual report to the City Council. The Commission went on to discuss the following goals in greater detail: Expanded Recycling. While residential participation in recycling is high, the scope of recycled materials could be broader. As a long -term goal, the Commission will work toward curbside pickup of ALL household waste. Terry Iverson discussed a report from the Vinyl Institute regarding the increased recyclability of plastics, such as motor vehicle parts. Terry is also obtaining a directory of companies engaged in the recycling of plastics. This information could be used to assist the recycling hauler in developing markets for more plastics or to arrange for drop -off points for plastics not currently eligible for curbside pickup. The concept of drop -off points for items which may be recyclable but are not picked up at curbside may be feasible for other materials as well. Education. The Commission discussed continuing its public education efforts by moving into the mass media. Debra McKinley of the Minnesota Office of Waste Management's Waste Education Clearinghouse is sending information to Laura Kuettel regarding the Clearinghouse's resources, which include print material and audio visual productions. The Commission will review this information for possible distribution, either independently or as part of a newsletter, and for airing via cable television. Members also discussed the possibility of producing an original cable television informational piece. Continuing in the creative realm, Terry Iverson suggested that Falcon Hei collect, assemble, and display plastic in the nature of the world- famous twine ball in Darwin, Minnesota. This would serve the three purposes of education, publicity, and keeping plastic out of the mainstream. The Commission will also explore opportunities to expand its educational efforts through participation in school and community events. Because residential participation in the existing curbside recycling program is already good, the Commission will focus its educational efforts on such areas as toxic and hazardous waste, resource conservation, and waste reduction through informed choices in purchasing. Expanded Role of Commission. Members discussed several possibilities for expansion of the role of the Commission. Pollution prevention and waste reduction are a natural extension of the Commission's previous and largely successful efforts to encourage recycling. Resource conservation and other -2- environmental efforts of a broader scope are also areas for increased attention. It was noted that the Commission does not have a clear mandate from city ordinances or the City Council, and the Council may be receptive to the Commission's recommendations with regard to defining and broadening its role. The discussion of the Commission's role led to further discussion of a potential name change to better reflect the Commission's changing identity. YARD WASTE COLLECTION: Ramsey County is extending its yard waste collection to August of 1994. Size limits are 4" diameter, 4' lengths, bound in 12" bundles. NEW RECYCLING CONTRACTOR: Unlike the previous contractor, E -Z does not collect on the fifth Friday of the month; this created some confusion among residents in April. To accommodate the increased volume on the recycling date following the fifth Friday, E -Z sent additional vehicles and started earlier in the day, which caused some residents to miss the pickup. Shirley Chenoweth reported that E -Z's bill, counts, and reimbursement check arrive together and on time. There have been, in general, few complaints about the new contractor. SPRING CLEANING DROPOFF: Several residents have inquired whether Falcon Heights will sponsor a "spring cleaning" collection of otherwise unrecyclable items. This is an expensive proposition, especially with increasing dumping fees. The last such effort cost $6,000 and was used by only about 100 people. The budget does not allow for such a program this year. EXCHANGE OF MINUTES WITH NEW BRIGHTON COMMISSION: The New Brighton Environmental Quality Commission has invited the FHSWC to exchange agendas and minutes between the two entities. After discussion, members agreed that it may be useful to see what issues are being addressed by similar commissions in other communities. TONNAGE REPORTS: Collections in April were up to 40 tons, from 36.35 tons in March. Shirley Chenoweth noted that collections increased progressively last year as well. The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Susan K. Smith, Secretary 1347R -3- City of Falcon Heights Human Rights Commission Y Minutes of the Meeting May 18 1993 1. Minutes Minutes from the April 20th Meeting were presented and approved with the readdition of Brian Standing's ADA compliance update. 2. Project Reflect Respect Larry Mozzitello Extended an invitation to members of the commission to attend the Project Reflect Respect Program kickoff event on June third at the Roseville Senior High. He explained that attendees of the kickoff will have the opportunity to sign onto activity groups that will then as the core of the project, concentrate on one of six areas including but not limited to: Education Law enforcement Churches and religious organizations Elected and appointed officials Civic and community organizations Project Reflect Respect's mission is to deal with diversity in the broadest sense, to celebrate diversity, and avoid stereotypes. The project centers upon community involvement. Initial funding was obtained from the Bremer Foundation, with funding now coming as well from the Minneapolis Foundation. Organization of the project began last August. Members of the commission expressed interest in participation in the kickoff event and in the project as it develops. 3. ADA Compliance Information presented by Brian Standing at the April 20 meeting was discussed and recommendation to City Council was approved, 3A. Following a discussion, the following meeting dates were scheduled for June through September, 1993. June 15, July 13, August 10 and September 21. 4. Future Projects A. Assemble response team As recommended by the League of MN Cities a team should be assembled to respond to 'incidents of discrimination within the community. Members should be assigned certain specific duties (ie. contacting law enforcement personnel, contacting victim, writing letters to the editor, contacting community and religious agencies) for which they would be responsible upon the occurrance of incidents. A network of responders should be built and maintained. A brochure detailing services and contacts would need to be produced. B. Work Program for Disabled Determine whether it is possible /proper for Falcon Heights to hire Kaposias (sic.) organization members for community projects as seen in Highland area. Decision was made to contact Highland Business Association for details on employing these school age persons. 5. No Fault Training As the state has allocated no money for continued grievance arbitration /mediation training and will provide information on existing laws for cities to certify their own mediators, we will wait until the June meeting to make a decision whether to pursue private training through either the University or community college programs. The decision will be based upon what decision the League of Minnesota Human Rights Commissions makes regarding training and funding of that training The meeting adjourned at 8:20 P.M. Respectfully submitted Dan Tait, Commission member HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES DATE: June 15th TIME: 7:00 PM PLACE: City Hall Members Present Absent Bowers X Gibson Talbot X Groff X Harris X Sheppard Treadwell X Tait Willems X SUMMARY OF MEETING: 1.
