P.O. Box 854
Lake Elmo, Minnesota 55042
The Family Violence Network is a private, nonprofit, tax-exempt Minnesota corporation. Our main programs
are:
• Battered Women's Program provides support to women and their children and helps
them escape violent situations.
• Safe Homes provide short term safety in family homes and longer term safety at our extended stay
shelter, the Doris & Stan Hill Home.
• Children's Proeram offers education, support groups and protective services to the children of
battered women and children who are victims of physical and emotional abuse.
Intervention Services work cooperatively with the criminal justice system to provide crisis
services at the time of arrest and provide services throughout the court process.
• ACEPT Proiect serves adolescent violent offenders and their parents in order to prevent future
violence.
Community Education Program provides education on the issues of family violence for children,
service providers, professionals, and the community.
The Family Violence Network is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors comprised of battered women,
professionals and concerned citizens representing the different geographic sections of our service area. (List
attached). The Family Violence Network has 29 staff and 1 contract person. We utilize 40 volunteers as crisis
lineladvocates, 8 as intervention court advocates, 11 for Orders for Protection, 7 as children's support group
leaders, 7 office people, 6 safe homes, 9 women's support group leaders, 2 Newsletter volunteers, 4 Home/ Phone
Intervention Advocates, 9 Special Projects/Community Education and 10 volunteers for miscellaneous jobs.
We serve all residents of Washington County and suburban Ramsey County with a total population of 359,789.
The Family Violence Network is a nonprofit organization which is working to eliminate violence in familial
relationships and promote self-reliance.
Society values the family as a place of warmth, intimacy and love. Unfortunately, the home can also be a place
of cruelty and violence. Through the Family Violence Network, volunteers, concerned citizens, battered women,
professionals and service providers create viable alternatives for persons experiencing domestic violence.
Recognizing that domestic violence is primarily victimization of women, we want to assure that battered women
and their families now have easy access to services designed to help them consider their options and take action.
Service providers are better able to serve battered women and their families through the coordination and support
of the Family Violence Network,
The Family Violence Network educates community members on the issues of domestic violence so they realize
that violence is a crime and will actively work to alleviate it. The Family Violence Network supports and
cooperates with others working toward ending domestic violence.
The Family Violence Network was established as an organization which provides services to battered women and
their children. It is our belief that all persons are vulnerable to abuse. Women neither want nor deserve to be
abused physically, emotionally or sexually. Women's actions are not the cause of abuse. Instead, violence is a
learned behavior and physical abuse is a crime. Physical abuse will become worse without intervention and may
lead to the death of one or both persons.
Violence destroys the entire family. Children are seriously affected when living in a violent home. Therefore, it
is important that families have alternatives in order to leave an abusive situation. No one should have to live in
fear.
Therefore, the Family Violence Network exists as a grassroots organization, which involves the entirecommunity
in the confidential delivery of services. The ownership of the program rests with the community. It is everyone's
responsibility to work towards ending abuse by refusing to condone it.
The Family Violence Network shall be autonomous in order to provide the most effective services to battered
women and their children. We shall treat all persons with respect. The Family Violence Network encourages
personal growth for volunteers, board and staff through a non -oppressive working environment.
The board and volunteers shall be chosen, and employment and services shall be provided without discrimination
on the basis of race, age, color, religion, sex, physical ormental disability, affectional preference, public assistance
or marital status.
Founded by four community volunteers, the Family Violence Network began offering services in 1984, Our
program has grown from an initial response to the crisis of domestic abuse to include projects that help families
find longer term solutions for violence -free living. The need for our programs continues to grow. In 1992, we
served 7,841 women and children, an increase of more than 100 percent over a five year period.

*Denotes a partial year
Community involvement has been one of our goals since our beginning. We aim to make this program the
responsibility of Washington County and the surrounding area. We have done this through speaking to
community groups, churches, professional groups and through PSA's in the newspapers and on the radio. We
have emphasized that it is each person's responsibility to make this a safe place to live for women and children
and to speak out against domestic violence.
:• ::u I •�� •►
The 24-hour Crisis Line is staffed by two volunteer advocates: one to answer the phone and one on -call.
Information and Referral - The volunteer provides callers with information and referrals to available
services. Our volunteers have a list of available resources and are able to make appropriate referrals to
callers.
Family Violence Safe Homes - offer 3-5 day emergency housing for battered women and their children.
Doris & Stan Hill Home - offers 4-6 families longer term housing.
vo agy and Sup= - The volunteer advocate begins to help and support the battered woman
immediately. The advocate lets the battered woman know that she is not the only victim of domestic
violence. The advocate accompanies her to court, for medical attention, to apply at Social Services --
supporting her as she deals with the system. Follow up services are provided for at least one year to each
of the women.
Orders for Protection - The program assists victims in preparing Orders for Protection and Harassment
Orders for Washington County and assists with Orders in Ramsey County.
Support Groups - Ongoing, open-ended support groups enable the battered woman to talk with other
women in the same situation and to begin to see alternatives to remaining in an abusive situation.
Children's support groups are also available. Free child care is offered during support groups.
Transportation and Child Car. -Volunteers will help women find transportation. Other volunteers will care
for her children while she utilizes services.
Dating Violence Services and Education - The Family ViolenceNetwork provides daring violence education
in area schools. The Network alsoprovides information and support to area school peer counselors.
Time Out - A service available to single parent families to prevent abuse and promote positiveparenting.
Parents Anonymous - We answer calls from parents in crisis and refer them to Parents Anonymous support
groups.
Legal Consultants - Legal advice and representation is provided to battered women under the supervision
of a licensed attorney.
The Intervention Program encourages systems to change and to become more responsive to the needs of
those in violent relationships. The Intervention Program ensures a coordinated response to domestic
violence. In addition to offering victims the usual Network services, the Project addresses the root cause
of family violence -- the abusers' learned violent behavior -- by intervening to force battered to look at their
behavior and by offering help to change. Initial contact with both victims and abusers occurs when law
enforcement makes a mandatory arrest and notifies the Network. The Program was designed by a task
force of concerned professionals from many disciplines.
Contacts with Victims - Informs them of their rights and introduces them to Network services.
Phone Contact with the Abusers - Informs them of the judicial process and treatment alternatives, and
encourages them to seek treatment for their violent behavior.
Misdemeanor and Felony Services - Victim statements are provided to local law enforcement and
prosecutors.
Court Advocacy. - Support, resources, guidance and direction is provided to the victims throughout the
court process.
Follow tip Monitoring - Watches abusers' attendance at treatment and compliance with any court dates.
VISE - (Victim Intervention Services and Education) is a cooperative effort of the Family ViolenceNetwork,
the Cottage Grove Police Department, and the Cottage Grove Prosecutor.
The VISE Program works with victims .of misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor crimes, The Network's
Intervention Project currently works only with victims of domestic abuse. VISE is an enhancement and
expansion of Network services in the Cottage Grove area.
The Family Violence Network, through VISE, works with victims of all charged crimes. These crimes
include those that are alcohol related, disputes between children, criminal damage to property, misdemeanor
assault, gross misdemeanor assault, disorderly conduct, fraud, harassment, neighborhood disputes, Order
for Protection violations, trespassing, theft and revocation.
We work with felony assaults and terroristic threats only when they are part of a domestic case. Later, the
project will serve victims of juvenile crimes who are diverted at the law enforcement level plus neighborhood
disputes.
Services to victims include:
• Explaining their rights as victims.
• Providing help in seeking restitution and/or reparation.
• Maintaining a list of resources for such things as replacing broken glass, changing locks, other repairs,
and emergency food, clothing, and shelter.
• Going to court with them and explaining the criminal justice system.
The project operates much as the Intervention Project does. The police will call the Network crisis line if
the victim needs immediate attention. Otherwise, victims will be identified through initial call reports at the
police station, from the court calendar, or at the victim's request. The police give victims cards with the
project information.
FIND (Families in New Directions)
FIND is a joint project among South Communities Counseling Services, Family Violence Network and
Washington County HRA. The purpose of the project is to provide supportive services to single parent
families who are in transition due to domestic violence and chemical abuse issues, in order to assist them
in working towards self-sufficiency. Since few services are provided to this population, it is important that
culturally and linguistically appropriate services are available.
These families in transition are experiencing personal and family turmoil. Mental health issues and a need
for service coordination limit their ability to move forward in their quest for self-sufficiency. The FIND
service advocate is able to identify needs and leverage provision of services. This advocate helps adults and
children to establish goals and supports them through the fulfillment of these goals. The services of a
trained therapist will enable these individuals and families to gain personal support and direction in
confronting their issues. Services to be provided directly by the project are: support and advocacy, therapy
and support, helping families develop plans to work toward self-sufficiency, coordination of services,
support groups and referrals to other services.
't•
Violent adolescents, as a group, were not receiving any services. We designed a program to meet this need.
It is hoped that if the adolescents' violence is addressed during their teenage years, further abuse can be
prevented.
1st Component:
Guidelines were developed for law enforcement officers on how to deal with violent juveniles when called
to the scene. Training is provided to the officers.
2nd Component:
ACEPT (Alternative Coping Experiences for Parents and Teenagers). This is an educational experience
focusing on identification of violent behavior and abusive relationships. Definitions of abuse, problem
solving alternatives, coping mechanism and the legal consequences of abuse are discussed. The education
group consists of two three hour sessions, one week apart. Referrals include juveniles adjudicated on
charges of assault and/or disorderly conduct, and other juveniles identified as appropriate by Court Services,
Social Services, School or Law Enforcement. A parent or guardian must accompany each juvenile to the
education groups.
D) EDUCATION PROGRAM
Through this program speakers inform the community and seek to prevent family violence by educating
people in schools, community groups and other settings.
Area Schools participate by inviting Network volunteers and staff to speak to classes about violence, its
cause, and how to develop non-violent relationships.
Community Education - Public speaking efforts raises community awareness of the problems battered
women face. We hope to educate the community that domestic violence is not just a family problem, but
something that community members can and must work to stop.
Newsletter - The Family Violence Network publishes a quarterly newsletter that serves as a source of
information to over 8,000 readers. The mailing list is increasing with each issue. "The Networker" provides
information regarding domestic violence, changes in legislation, available services and educational
opportunities.
Training for Professionals- The Family Violence Network has conducted workshops for Social Services,
community health nurses, prison personnel, Sexual Assault Services, Human Rights Commission, Jane
Dickman House, Social Service fnancial workers and child protection, Youth Service Bureau, Family
Services of the St. Croix Valley, White Bear Lake Human Resource Network, law enforcement, clergy and
St. Croix Valley United Way agencies and other nonprofits. Additional workshops are being developed.
Dating Violenceand Prevention Education - Prevention education is provided to teens in a school setting
to educate re: dating and choosing partners.
Each of the twenty-nine staff people bring experience in some of the following areas; management, volunteer
coordination, crisis counseling, program development, training, community education, service coordination, and
clerical, All have five and forty-three years work experience, and have completed our training program. Nineteen
of the twenty-nine staff people who are currently involved with program development, management and
coordination of services have been involved with violent relationships. A legal consultant has been retained on
a contract basis.
VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE
Volunteers are recruited with a focus on including women who have used our services. Currently, one-third of our
volunteers fit this description, and the majority of the women who provide services have had personal experience
with the battering issues. A volunteer advisory council is elected by the volunteers and works with the volunteer
coordinator to assure that volunteers are an integral part of the program.
We utilize the community organizing model in providing services. We believe that this encourages more people
to speak out against violence and enables more people to hear about the services available. It is difficult to
measure the number of battered women we serve indirectly. We send out information to almost every home in
our service area. Occasionally, women call us in response to the information they received about our services.
There is no way to measure the number of women affected by the information we provide who have not yet acted
on it. The number of battered women we serve directly is listed on the attached form.
Board and staff believe evaluation is essential and conduct regular evaluations in several ways. The staff self -
evaluate and ourevaluated by the Director/Supervisor to assess progress in meeting the specifications of their job
description and the tasks of their work program. The Director is evaluated by the Board of Directors. The
battered women fill out evaluation forms. Other service providers are asked for input on an annual basis. The
State Coalition has established evaluation criteria which are used to measure our program,
FLEXIBILITY OF PROGRAMS
The Family Violence Network assesses the needs of those in violent relationships and adapts and adds to our
programs to meet these needs. For example: a school administrator asked us to send an advocate to talk to a
female student who was being abused by her boyfriend. The initial interview quickly grew into a support group
at the high school, followed by other similar groups. This led us to purchase an appropriate slide show and
develop our Dating Violence Awareness Education Program which is presented at area high schools.
C
The Board of Directors, led by a private consultant, produced the following five year goals for the Family
Violence Network as part of our long range planning.
FIVE YEAR GOALS 1992-1996
GOAL
Develop stable sources of funding which will adequately support stable and creative management, staff
salaries and development, and appropriate facilities and equipment.
GOAL
Become recognized locally and nationally as a developer of service models, an advocate, and a developer
of innovative programming.
GOAL
Change community perspectives about violence through programs focused on prevention.
GOAL
Evaluate current programming in developing long-term program priorities and directions.

The Board of Directors realized that our programs cannot be wholly dependent on government and United Way
funding, but rather need to have a continuous, guaranteed source of income. To that end, an endowment drive
was instituted in ]at 1985. The Board believes an endowment will eventually assure an adequate income to meet
the discrepancy between the cost of our programs and the availability of public and private funds.
The Family Violence Network has devised a cost effective method of serving families in violent relationships, a
system which can and will serve as a model for other programs throughout the United States.
We are asking the City of Lake Elmo to grant the Family Violence Network, Inc. $500. Should these monies be
granted, we will supply financial reports, annual reports and any other documentation requested.

Dear Mayor John and Council Members:
The St. Croix Valley Youth Service Bureau has an established
tradition of providing innovative and effective programming for
children, youth and families from the St. Croix Valley area.
While keeping pace with the changing needs of young people we have
designed our programs to serve as alternatives to the traditional
way youth at risk are served.
For many years community support of the Youth Service Bureau has
been a significant force in the healthy growth and development of
our program. This support and confidence has made it possible for
hundreds of young people and their families to receive help in a
timely and respectful manner. Many of these young people have now
become healthy and contributing citizens with children of their
own.
In the coming year it is our hope that Lake Elmo will again, as
you did in 1981-83, join in partnership with other supporting
communities and contribute $10,451 as per the enclosed formula.
Also enclosed is our annual report for your review. I would be
happy to appear before the city council to discuss our request and
programs in more detail. Thank you for your consideration.
S' rely,
Paul eiler )

Memo
To:
Mayor and City Council
From:
Mary Kueffner
Date:
August 24, 1993
Subject:
Mike Bouthilet, Parks Director
Mike Bouthilet applied for and was offered the Public Works Director job in the City of Mahtomedi.
I don't In any way want to impede any employee from moving on to bigger and better things, but
before we let him go, I thought the council should know what an asset he is to the City.
Mikes major tasks are:
* Maintain all parks, including mowing, trimming and clean-up.
*. Daily inspection of community water system, including fluoridation.
* Weekly Operation and Maintenance of Sewer Systems (201).
* Parks equipment maintenance.
* Attends and takes part in all Parks Commission meetings, including preparation
of the agendas.
* Snowplows in the winter, maintains the ice rinks and supervises the rink attendants.
Mike's Licenses and Qualifications are as follows:
* Class A Commercial Driver
* Class C Water Supply Operator (Dan Olinger and Mike Buckles have Class D which
is one step lower).
* Class D. Waste water Treatment Facility Operator (No other maintenance worker
has this license.
* Tree Inspector License/Certificate.
* Non-commercial Pesticide Applicator License (Turf, Ornamental and Forest).
When the Parks Department was separated from the Maintenance Department, there was some
reservation on the City Council. It was approved under the condition that it would not cost the city
any more money. 1 supported this decision, but before we let Mike go, I though the Council
should be aware of Mike's accomplishments and aware of the fact that he continuously strives to
improve himself, and that has been and will continue to be an asset to the City.
Mike has accomplished and/or has initiated the following:
* Applied for, received and administered grant from DNR to groom and maintain
the trails in Sunfish Lake Park.
* Applied for grant application for cable equipment. Is proficient in use of cable
Mike Bouthilet, Parks Director 08/24/93 Page 2
equipment.
• Applied for and has received verbal approval for a grant for Oak Wilt Control
" Took the initiative and set up a program for Lead and Copper contamination
testing in the Old Village. Sampling will begin this fall depending on the schedule
of the Minnesota Department of Health.
• Organized through "Sentence to Serve" program, the painting of city hall, the parks
building, and several projects in our parks.
Mike is currently paid $13.44 per hour, or $27,955 per year. I have enclosed the data from the
1993 Stanton Survey of Salaries. In cities of our size the average minimum salary is $28,800 per
year, the average maximum salary is $35.600, and the weighted mean is $35,100. (Weighted
mean refers to the mean of salary rates weighted by the number of employees at each rate).
I have talked with Marilyn, and there is some money in the budget that we could offer to Mike to
keep him here. We could offer him $32,280.00 ($15.52 per hour) starting September 6, 1993. If
he received a 4% increase for 1994, which is not a given, only an "if', his salary would be
$33,600.
I am not suggesting that we get into any bidding war with Mahtomedi, we could never afford what
they pay. I just thought if there was any Incentive we could offer Mike to keep him, you wouldn't
be sorry.
