Direc- tion on the issues is being requested because they will impact on the revenue and/or expenditure portions of the budget and directly impact upon the ability of staff to present a coherent and reasonably balanced budget. As of the first draft, total requests for the General Fund were as follows: Total Projected General Fund devenues (excluding items listed below) $1,399,034 Total Proposed Operating Expenditures 1,510,781 Total Proposed Capital Expenditures 146,620 Excess of Operating Expenditures over General Fund Revenues ($ 111,747) or 7.4% of expenditures Total Projected Revenue Sharing Revenues $ 51,000 Total Proposed Capital Expenditures 146,620 Excess of Capital Expenditures over Revenue Sharing Revenues ($ 95,620) or 65.2% of expenditures A quick analysis of these numbers even with the knowledge that the budget is in first draft and will experience shrinkage with more strenuous perusal, will lead one to conclude that the task of balancing the budget will not be ar easy one, but can be sim- plified if the more difficult decisions are made in the early stages thus giving everyone a clearer picture of the "problem" during the second round. With that in mind, staff would like to present you with a variety of budget issues which, once direction is given, will clarify the scope of the budget balancing task before us. In order to obtain a full understanding of Items 1 and 2 and the impacts of Items 1 through 4 on the City's General Fund budget, please review the attached memorandum from Finance Director Brager. Please note LhaL not all of the information needed to develop accurate estimates Is available, therefore, certain assumptions were made which are subject to change. -2- 1. Local Government Aids - Article 5, Local Government Aids, of the 19ti3 tlmulbus 'lix hill, II.F. 1259, cal is for a nuidilI- ca tion In the formula For cnmpnting Local Government Aids, LGA. The formula, in the case of most cities, including Mounds View, wlII rrrsuIL In a reduction iu LGA, however, the fill limits the Impact by stipulnLing that no rity experience a reduction during any one year that Is more than it could raise through a three -fourths equa!Ized mill levy. Doe to some modifications in the formula for LGA, including new factors not yet fully established, we are uncertain as to the exact amount of the reduction for Mounds View, however, it is estimated to be approximately $51,500. It was staff's initial understanding that each city would have cite option of special levying the amount of reduced LGA when the total levy is certified to the County. We have now been led to believe from information provided by the Revenue Department that it is their intention to include the reduced LGA in the individual levy computations for each city thus eliminating the need to special levy. The decision then before the Council is do we leave the reduced LGA in the levy computations or do we reduce the amount levied, thus not Levying up to the maximum, by an amount equal to the reduced LGA? 2. Levy Limitation Increase - Besides the Increase in the levy limits resulting from the addition of the reduction in LGA, an additional increase results from the Revenue Department's inclusion of the City's LGA allotment in the beginning of the levy limit formula rather than at the end as had been past practice. This change results in the application of the levy limit formula to the City's previous year's levy plus LGA which increases the amount that the City can levy by $42,716 above and beyond the $51,507 reduction in LGA. The obvious question before the Council is do we wish to take advantage of a "windfall" resulting from a statutorily mandated formula or do we reduce the amount levied, thus not levying up to the maximum, by an amount equal to the increase resulting from a change in the formula? 3. Forestry Special Levy - Article 3, Levy Limits, of the 1983 Omnibus Tax Bill included the reinstatement of the special levy authority for Forestry Program costs which was elim- inated by the 1981 Omnibus Tax Bill. To the best recollec- tion of staff, it has been the standard practice of the City since inception of the Forestry Program to take advantage of this authority. The question before the Council is do we special levy for the cost of. the 1984 Forestry Program which is proposed in the first draft at $23,201? /". -3- 4. E ui Tent Debt Certlftoo te - U.F. 372/S.F. 823 allows home rule charter cities to issue capital notes (equipment debt certificates), by resolution, to purchase public safety equipment, road construction and maintenance equipment, and other capital equipment with a useful life no less than the term of the certificate.. The certificates are limited to a term of five years and they may not have a total principle amount exceeding one -tenth of one percent of Line City's assessed valuation. Until Budget Year 1983, the City regularly issued these certificates for the purchase of police squads. It was then determined that the City Charter does not provide authority for issuing such certificates. Staff requested that the Charter Commission consider amending the Charter to provide such authority, however, they determined that they did not wish to do so unless and until the City's revenues were unable to meet budgetary needs. As you can sec, the City's General Fund revenues fall far short of operating and capital needs and the addition of the projected 1984 Revenue Sharing allotment of $51,000 does little to close that gap. The use of an equipment debt certificate would allow the City to satisfy more of our capital requests which are increasing due to the increasing age of our physical plant and equipment and requests to invest In the improvement of our parks system. Staff would recommend that the Council consider the issuance of an equipment debt certificate in the principle amount of cii n_n_n_ Fnr rho purchase of two squad cars with a term of two years which, at 9% interest, would equal $26,105 or 113,05 per year. 5. Special Assessments - As was mentioned under Item 3, staff projects 1984 Federal Revenue Sharing receipts at $51,000 which is only ?4.7% of the first round General Fund capital requests of $146,620, please note attached memo outlining capital rennests. At this time, the Ravenna Sharing program has not been renewed and current appropriptions will expire on September 30, 1933. Of the $146,620 in capital requests, $60,000 is being pro- posed for the 1984 sealcoat and overlay program. From pre- vious discussions, it would appear that we all agree that a regular sealcoat and overlay program for the City's streets increases the useful Life of the streets which reduces the need for pavement replacement and the resulting large assess- ments on abutting properties. (Please note attached letter from Dan Boxrud dated July 16, 1983.) -4- As it would appear to he a rresnnahl0 conclusion that the City wishes to continue to maintain streets nn a regular basis with sea lcoat and overlay, the question before its is how do we continue to do so when the City's other capital needs are increasing and our traditional source of funding for such Items, Revenue Sharing, is in it decreasing or nt best stable level of funding? Ouc LO our limited options for funding capital projects, staff would recommend that the Council discontinue the funding of the Street Maintenance Program with Federal Revennc Sharing funds and assess these costs over a five year period (average frequency of main- tenance for it street) to the benefited (abutting) proper- ties. Such an action would release Revenue Sharing funds for use on one-time projects as has been the past practice of the City. The cost per abutting property owner fur such a program would be quite minimal and can he. Illustrated by using the 1982 Scalcoating Project. The information developed is as follows: Total footage sealcoat 39,742 ft. Total project cost $52,390.42 Cost per foot $1.32 ft. Cost per average 90 foot lot $118.80 Based on a five year assessment at 9% interest on the out- standing balance, a property owner would pay a total of $152.70 if the assessment were not prepaid, or $30.54 per year. Staff acknowledges that these are extremely difficult issues we place before you, but we hope you will agree that they are extremely important and the decisions resulting from your consi- deration will be major building blocks in the development of the 1984 Budget. We stand ready to respond to any questions or requests for additional information you might have and look for- ward to a positive exchange of viewpoints during the discussion. F J J 1 TO: Mayor & City Council FROM: Finance Director -Treasurer Brager DATE: July 13, 1983 RE: ESTIMATED 1984 REVENUE•. A memorandum from t.hc Clerk-A(1mi.nis U-ator and myself identifies some 1984 budget policy issues facing the City. This memorandum will address those issues and identify their impact on the 1984 General Fund budget. The State's legislators, through the Omnibus Tax Bill, made changes in the levy limit formula, the formula for the calculation of local govern- ment aids, and the special tax levies allowable to municipalities. If the 1984 General Fund budget is to be patterned after the 1983 budget the fol,inwing assumptions would be made: 1) the City would absorb the anticipated 1984 reduction in local government aid of $51,507 2) the City would not exercise the option to special levy for the forestry program 3) the City would not issue equipment debt certificates and levy for the cost of debt service to retire them 4) the two police squad cars requested would be included in the 1984 Police Department's budget Following those assumptions the estimated 1984 General Fund tax levy would be $672,784.00, an increase of approximately 86 over the 1983 levy of $619,884.00. Total estimated General Fund revenues of $1,399,034.00 would be available to offset estimated expenditures. Estimated 1984 revenues are approximately 2.8% greater than 1983 budgeted revenues of $1,360,890.00. Estimated 1984 revenues compared to first draft expenditure requests are shown below: Estimated revenues $1,399,034.00 First draft expenditure requests 1,533,781.00 Excess of expenditures over revenues $ 134,747.00 To balance the budget, reductions of $134,747.00 would have to be made from first draft expenditure requests. Those reductions amount to 9% of initial requests. Should the City exercise all of the options available under the Omnibus Tax Bill the following would occur: 1) the City would levy the amount of the reduction in local government aid from 1983 to 1984 July 13, 1983 Estimated 1984 itevenuc page 2 2) the City would levy CIoVL iln,1lil� J;%1 formulrLoulLas, from the change in tale local I }) the city •::oU111 t'xel'cie:o il� option Lo special levy for the forestry progr'.11 he 4) two year equipment• debt certificaLos wo�srinoi�alsand and ld the City would special levy one year's p interest on the certifieaLcs Exercising the above options would result in an estimated 24% General Fund tax levy of $790,207.00, an increase of approximately 29,457.00the 1983 levy of $619, 884.00.

The gg3usInclusion of11983acertifiedllocal governmenation is t aid be this approximately in this year's formula resulted in an increase in the estimated levy limitation of $94,223.00 compared to what it would have been under the old formula. That amount consists of the following: Reduction of 1984 local government $51,507.00 aid compared to 1183 8% of 1983 certified local 42,716.00 government aid $94 223.00 July 13, 1983 • estimated 1984 Revenue Page 2 I have calculated estimated mill rates for each (jption, most likely these mill rate estimates are on the high side for several reasons. The estimated Assessed Valuations obtained from Ramsey County do not include fiscal disparities values, which are not yet available. The levy for bonded indebtedness was based upon the ol(l special assessment debt study; the new one won't be available until late August or early September. Levy limit calculations and local government aid amounts are preliminary estimates and are subject to change. The Department of Revenue is re- quired by the Omnibus Tax Rill to provide those figures no later than August 15. Should the first option, patterning the 19804 budget after 1983, be adopted the over all mill rate would rise 0.9240 mills to 13.38-5 mills. A com- parison to 1983 mill rates is presented below: Funds 1984 1983 Difference General 10.888 9.989 +0.899 Forestry 0.376 0.347 +0.029 Debt 2.122 2.126 -0.004 13.386 12.462 +0.9240 If the second option, exercising all levy options available pursuant to provisions of the Omnibus Tax Bill, be adopted the over allmill rate would be 15.780 mills, a difference of 3.318 mills over the 1983 mill rate of 12.462 mills. These rates are compared to 1983 rates below: Funds 1084 19R3 Difference General 13.022 9.989 +3.033 Forestry 0.382 0.347 +0.035 Debt 2.376 2.126 +0.250 15.780 12.462 +3.318 The memorandum on budget policy issues idenLitied the issuer relating to tax levies. These are: 1) Should the City levy for the toss of local government aid? 2) Should the City take advantage of the change in the levy limit formula and levy to the maximum allowed? 3) Should the City special levy for the Forestry program? 4) Should equipment debt certificates be issued and the City levy for their principal and interest? f� 4 r July 13, 1983 Estimated 1984 Revenue .

The special levy thus allows those monies to then be used for General Fund purposes. The equipment debt certificates, as proposed, would be issued for a term of two years and sold to the Water Fund. The proceeds of the sale, $23,000.00 would be transferred to the General Fund and would be used to purchase two squad cars. The levy shown for the certificates is for the first year's principal and interest. It is considered a debt levy and as such included .in the amounts levied for bonded indebtedness. When received from the County money rrom the levy would be placed in a Debt Certificate fund and subseyueuLly transferred to the Water Fund to pay off the certificates. 1 July 13, 1983 Estimated 1984 Revenue Page 4 / nformation needed to calculate the effect of these options on the tax Dills of selected individual properties was not available as of the writing of this memorandum.

It was determined at that time that Mayor McCarty send a letter to County Commission Chairman Warren Schaber outlining our concerns and requesting that the County undertake measures to insure that special assessment information is available on a timely basis. Attached to this memorandum please find a copy of Mayor McCarty's letter, as well as a copy of the response from Commission Chairman Schaber. Also attached is a copy of a memorandum from Finance Director Brager to myself responding to statements in Commissioner Schaber's letter. I would not only concur with the conclusions reached by Finance Director Brager regarding the fact that special assessment records are not maintained on the County's computer system which is an extremely advanced system and more than capable of handling these records but would also add the following comments and conclusions: 1. This office receives c-epies of all n=— Co�;,i—on r meeting minutes and it is my observationithat on a regular basis the County Commission has waived their hiring freeze and allowed the filling of positions in areas where the need for the positions is no greater than that experienced by the Tax Accounting Section of the Revenue Division of Ramsey County. I am not aware of any attempts being made by the Revenue Division to request the County Board authorize the hiring of new employees to replace employees lost as a result of death, retirement, reassignment, or promotion as indicated in Leonard F. Olson's memorandum of June 17, 1983. 2. In a memorandum from Leonard Olson to Lou McKenna, dated October 11, 1977 and included in the attached information, Mr. Olson cites Minnesota Statute 429.061, Subd. 3, which states in part, "All assessments and interest thereon shall be collected and paid over in the same manner as other municipal taxes." In my opinion, this clearly places the responsibility for the collection of assessments on the counties as they are responsible for collection of all other municipal property taxes and,without requesting an opinion from the City Attorney, it would appear that the County does not have the authority to charge for these services as they are statutorily required. This would seem to contradict -z- Commissicn Chairman Schaber's comment that the County is providing a "free service" to the municipalities or Mr. McKenna's comment that there is no logical reason for Ramsey County to collect assessments for municipalities. It strikes me that it is interesting that the Countatutety is sand unwilling to collect asssessments as provided at the same time they are more than willing to ctas theno collection agency for traffic tickets, particularlyime court costs are involved anaggressive roletintmatterssit suchlasttheseoandspoint assume a more out to the County that they are benefiting from municipal activities in other ways. I do not wish to begin a battle with Ramsey County over this or any other issue, however, at the same time I feel it is necessary we begin to defend our position on issues such as this ns our revenue base is regularly being diminished by the a ctfacing aopositionher governmental jurisdictions and we are quickly where we will be unable to provide those services expected and demanded by the residents of our community because of reduced revenues. RECOMMENDATION: Staff would recommend that Mayor McCarty or a representative of the City Council and members of the City staff meet with Commissioner Schaber and members of the Ramsey County staff to discuss this issue and other related matters to edw, a clear understanding on these issues and maintain goodwill between the City and County. DFP/pf Attachments TO: Clerk -Administrator Pauley FROM: Finance Director -Treasurer Brager DATE: June 29, 1983 RE: LETTER FROM WARREN W. SCHABER REGARDING SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS i've reviewed the June 17, 1983 letter to Duane McCarty from Warren Schaber and the attached memorandums from the Taxation and Records Administration Department concerning the matter of special assess- ments. While I can appreciate the staffing problems or" the Depart- ment of Taxation and Records Administration caused by County budget- ary constraints I non the less feel that as the City's collection agent for special assessments information on outstanding balances should be provided on a timely basis. In addition I feel that part of the problem has been brought on by the Department itself. It is my understanding that the County has a state of the art control data computer and the County Treasurer's office has utilized that computer system in connection with their job of collecting property taxes and special assessments from County residents. However, the Department of Taxation and Records Administration has not chosen to utilize the computer system in the special assessments area. At the present time they have a manual system to which they post data which is computer generated on assessment collections to their manual set of books �. which contain the balances on individual assessments. I am therefore of the opinion that the County should provide these balances on a timely basis in spite of their staffing and budgetary problems. Mr. Schaber indicates that the County is currently considering charg- ing for the collection of special assessments and the record keeping .w .. am y a(n1}V withina5avviaiwd with uhc:;.nwaaen.�_—c.T onar,raraof the State of Minnesota that is presently charging for this service. I would suggest that the City Attorney research applicable Statutes in order to determine whether or not the County would be able to charge for these services. I would not be in favor of paying for a service which traditionally has been provided to us at no cost in the past.

A comparision of our Cable T.V. franchise (ordinance #319) and the essence of 5.66 (as presented by Senators Durenberger and Boschwitz), indicates the potential for serious erosion of local control in this matter.

The full Senate took up consideration of S. 66 on June 13 and 14 and approved it by a vote of 87-9. In my opinion,.ev with the adopted amendments and the committee changes, the bill his;inadequate. j believe it takes too much control away from the: local, communities and transfers it to the federal government and';- -, cable companies'. 'In keeping with my position as an advocate of local control, I voted against.S. 66. Several amendments were offered to S. 66. Two amendments that I believe would have improved the bill were defeated. One amendment would have disallowed an automatic, annual rate increase by cable companies. The second amendment proposed "grandfathering" into the bill all previous cable agreements. Ir, spite of amendments I offered with Senators Lautenberg (D-New Jersey), Exon (D-Nebraska), and Durenberger, we were not able to produce a final bill that I could support. ,As it. pow! stands, the local communities will have their authority abrogated 'Ehrough this legislation. Senate bill 66 has been referred to ,the House fc.: consideration. If you haven't done so already, I suggest you rnntact your Representative and exprej, our concerns. Thanks for your interest in this mytter. Si Rudy Boschwitz � United States Senator RB/mc I[n O z1afez zeira{e WASHING, ON. D.C. 20510 Dear Mayor: 10n June 14 the Senate gave its overwhelming approval to S. 66, the Cable Telecommunications Act of 1983, by a vote of 87-9. As one who voted for S. 66 as the best feasible program for local govern- ments, I am happy to say that significant improvements were made to the bill during its consideration on the Senate floor. S. 66 gives the Federal Communications Commission exclusive jurisdiction over cable telecommunications, preempting Stati-and local authority to freely negotiate cable franchise agreements and `regulate cable rates. The legislation is designed to create a national policy framework for the development of this new medium primarily by removing areas of uncertainty for would-be cable investors. iThe;bill provides fora process of !franchise renewal: similar to that' governing television broadcasters; and in the event renewal is not granted, it requires that the operator be paid the fair market value 'of the system; S. 66 also deregulates cable services, a move intended a ^ to allow cable operators to comnete. effectively with other tele- communications media. In one of the more controversial aspects of the bill, franchise authorities will be prohibited from specifying' cable programming in franchise agreements.or, afterwards, regulating its cost to consumers. Rowever,. in another important respect ;tom; spec_Jj&ation o 1 'cable .fac' 'ties a:d equiy�gnt--;S;:;^66'allows State and local ranchsing . authoritids_;t^ Continue their central role. tj eiF ight �'to neqjtiate..s�c�atters i� the franchise press will i��ve: local governments the power to deter ine the h sical nature an -go n- fiauration of cheir7cable systems. Tndee , to the extent that the bill spurs interest in cable investment, local officials may find greater latitude in negotiating the installation of systems, and greater access to the cable capabilities essential to attracting high-technology growth and development to their jurisdictions. A number of mayors, in Minnesota and elsewhere, have expressed concern over S. 66. Accordingly, I voted for the legislation only after helping to secure several changes which, as your Senator and as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Intergovernmental Relations, I felt would significantly improve S. 66 from the perspective of local governments. Along with.Rudy Boschwitz'and other concerned Senators, I worked with Commerce Committee Chairman Bob Packwood to bring about the following changes: 1 a� c� IE�C/IJ�7 �n Page Two o Enforcement. My amendment to section 613(d) deleted the operator's right to unilaterally abrogate negotiated commit- ments to provide specified facilities and equipment. An operator will now have to prove that a "significant change in circumstances" has made the provision of the facilities and equipment impracticable before a local government is required to negotiate over the change in the agreement. The amendment will also mandate binding arbitration when such negotiations fail, and will thus preserve the local character of the disputes resolution process. o Franchise Renewal. Two changes were made to section 609. First, the provision prohibiting a franchise authority from considering competing applications was dropped after a number of us expressed concern over its anti-trust impli- cations. And second, under one of several amendments sponsored by Senator Lautenberg and supported by Senators Boschwitz, Exon and myself, the requirement for judicial de novo hearings on decisions to deny franchise renewal will not apply where an operator has been given a hearing consistent with accepted administrative procedures. o Rate Regulation. The key change to section 607 involved dropping the proposed 5 percent floor on the annual increase — service rates. Under the amendment, rates may rise in accordance with the annual increase in the regional Consumer Price Index. Also, basic service rates would continue to be regulated within the "B contour" if 80 percent of the house- holds for which cable was available subscribed to the system. 7 Access. This amendment to section 614 will allow franchise authorities to specify access to public and educational programming as well as to government programming which already was allowed under the bill. Frankly, I doubt that these changes will satisfy everyone. I'm not satisfied myself, but S. 66 still has a long way to go before becoming law. First, it must be passed in the House of Representatives, and then it mus£ go through conference conuaittee before coming back to the Senate for final passage. By voting for this bill on the Senate floor, I have helped to secure essential changes in the legislation while retaining the good will. of Chairman Packwood and others, keeping uw in a strony position to represent your concerns in the days ahead. Page Three Again, I believe wo have made impo tint progress toward improving S. 66, and intend to continue my efforts in this regard. In the meantime, as alw elcome your thoughts and comments. r i Uni DD:pha ly, u UNITED STATES CONFERENCE OF MAYORS 1620 EYE STREET, NURT MUr WASHINGTON, D.C. 2(X)06 TF.LENIONE: (202) 293-7330 June 10, 1983 The Honorable David Durenberger United States Senate 375 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC Dear Senator Durenberger: The U.S. Conference of Mayors is very pleased to strongly support your proposed amendment to S. 66, the Cable Tele- communications Act of 1983. The "changed circumstances" provision of S. 66, which your amendment would be addressed to, is a potential powder keg of difficulty for the nation's cities in the cable television area. Section 613(d), as originally drafted, would have given the cable operator the right to unilaterally abro- gate provisions of the franchise agreement.

MINN. 55112 fUb3055 Richard Braun, Commissioner Minnesota Department of Transportation Transportation Building St. Paul, Minnesota 55155 Re: Construction of New Trunk Highway 10 from County Road J to Tunk Highway 65 Dear Commissioner Braun: The City of Mounds View would like to solicit your assistance it f resolving two major traffic concerns that exist within our City. The two major areas of concern are: 1) The increasing traffic load being placed on existing Trunk Highway ]0 as it passes diagonally through our community; and 2) The traffic volume on County Road J which crosses on the northern City limits of the community has increased dramatically since the draft environmental impact study prepared as part of the New 10 alignment evaluation. These problems are creating some significant noise intrusion problems especially along County Road J due to the significant amount of truck traffic using this route to traverse between Trunk Highway 65 and Interstate 35W. Bascd on our in-house estimates and the noise values that were projected as a result of traffic volumes during the draft Environmental Impact Study lead us to conclude that the Pollution Control Agency noise criteria are being exceeded in the County Road J area for residents in Mounds View. your assistance in working towards a Zolution, which would be the completion of Trunk Highway 10 from County Road J to Highway 65, would be greatly appreciated. This would appear also to provide significant relief for the traffic that is currently traversing existing Highway 10 through Mounds View. According to County traffic data, the volumes have exceeded in 1901, 30,000 to 33,000 vehicles per day. This creates significant problems at intersections that are not signalized. This is becoming a safety concern and, once again, we would appreciate any assistance you can give us in resolving these problems. Mr. Braun Page 2 March 7, 1983 It is our understanding that recently the New 10 project from County Road d uurLh Lo Trunk ILLghway LU has moved ahead in the process. We undar::tand that. Hie right: of way map has been signed which allows acquisition of key pieces of right of way for that proposed project but that a funding source has not been officially committed. We, therefore, wish to go on record requesting the Commissioner of. Transportation to give the highest priority to obtaining the necessary federal funding and stale matching monies to complete New Highway 10 from County lioad J to Highway 65. The City is very concerned that some provisions be made to complete the connection of the New 10 alignment to the proposed 6 10 project that is currently underway and includes a new bridge crossing the Mississippi River. It is our understanding that this proposed project will terminate on Trunk Highway 47 near the intersection of University Avenue and existing Highway 10. Once again, we would strongly suggest consideration be given to completing the link between the terminus of 6 10 and the proposed terminus of Trunk Highway 10 and Ilighway 65.

Wetlands Commil:tcc I'ROM: Director of Public Works/COumwniLy DcveJ.opmcnL DATE: July 14, 1983 SUBJECT: COORDINATION W"J"I RICE CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT CONCERNING WEI-LAND ORDINANCE AND COMPREHENSIVE STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN On July 12, 1983, I attended a forum at Met Council concerning the Surface Water Management Act (Chapter 509, Levy Bill). Attached are Lhc hand outs from that meeting. The focus of the meeting was to discuss requirements of the Levi Bill. The most important factor _s for cities to determine when and how involved they will become in plan preparation process. The Statute allows levying a tax to fund plan preparation, and eventually, capital improvements and maintenance. It was also pointed out that the 1983 legislative authorized local units of government to create a storm sewer utility like currently exists for sanitary sewer and water systems. I was contacted on July 8, 1983 District concerning by Steve Miller of Rice Creek Watershed what the City was willing Poppelaars drainage permit. Mr. Miller wondered tentativelng to do to resolve current impasse. I have y set up a meeting with Mr. WJodenbacher of Rice Creek Water- shed Disrict to discuss these issues. RECOMMENDATION: Staff requests direction from the Council concerning: 1) Role the City desires to play in Rice Creek Watershed District Surface Water Management Plan preparation. 2) Role the City will play to resolve impasse with Rice Creek Watershed District permit for 'Pony Poppelaars.

Johnson, Director Public Works/Community Development• JCJ/bc cc: Don paulcy, Clerk -Administrator. k, �L MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council P ` FROM: Clerk -Administrator DATE: July 22, 1983r SUBJECT: SUBURBAN RATE AUTHORITY ASSESSMENT As alluded to in my July 25, 1983 Administrative Newsletter, the Suburban Rate Authority proposes to levy an assessment in 1984 to all members equal to $245/vote or, in the case of Mounds View, $735. Prior to discussing the stated need for the assessment or value of our membership in this organization, I would like to review the organization's history for the new Councilmembers. The Suburban Rate Authority was organized on May 1, 1963 to enforce the rate provisions of franchises its members granted to the Minneapolis Gas Company. In January, 1975 the Authority was reorganized into a state-wide organization with its staffed purpose being to participate on behalf of its members in the regulating processes of the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC). Since its reorganization in 1975 the Authority has not needed to levy an assessment to its members because of a substantial reserve it developed from franchise fees paid by the Minneapolis Gas Company. The By -Laws of the organization provide the authority for an assessment when it is determined to be necessary. The Authority presently has a balance of cash and investments of $47,000 which would not fund its activities through 1984 even if there are no major rate cases before the PUC. At the present time it is anticipated that the first major rate case from Northwestern Bell (NWB) since the recent reorganization of the Bell system will go before the PUC before the end of this year. This office has received information during our budgetary process that NWB could be proposing rate increases up to 80% for resi- dential customers. Except for the PUC staff there is no other organization that regularly intervenes in these rate hearings to dispute the rate requests from the public utilities serving our area. The value of the SRA is that they serve as a "watch dog" agency in a very specialized area representing the interests of our citizens at a time when utility rates seem to be in an uncontrollable upward spiral. The cost of a $735 assessment to the City is minute in relationship to the cost of utility rates we could be paying were it not for the activities of organizations such as the u Suburban Rate Authority. .i -2- Recommendation: Authorize staff to include the $735 assessment in the 1984 Budget under Account No. 100-190-4J61, City Hall - Memberships.

He also explained the problem with the two lots, stating that the street is also within the wetland, and the two lots are controlled by both the flood plain and wetlands ordinances. Attorney Meyers stated that Mr. Loeffler would have to go through the process of applying for a permit, and that there are several ordinances that regulate the use of this land, He also advised that if a permit cannot be issued, there is no provision for reimbursement by the City. Mr. Loeffler expressed his concern with finding a buyer who may sue later, if he finds the lots are not buildable, Attorney Meyers advised that Mr. Loeffler not surpress any information about the lots to prospective buyers. Carol Seidenkranz, Student Services Coordinator for the Mounds View Public Schools, stated that she has Mounds View City Council July 11, 1983 Regular Meeting Page Two ---------------------------------------------------------------------- applied for two grants, and has just been informed ' that she needs an official government sponsor. She explained the purpose of the two grants and stated that she does have a letter of endorsement from the Youth Service Burcau, which she knows the City works with. Ms. Seidenkranz emphasized that she does not need any money from the City, just their sponsorship. Clerk/Administrator Pauley advised that the school district will take care of all the details, financial records, and so forth, and the City's only obligation would be to be the official sponsor. Ms. Seidenkranz added that the City's responsibility would be to give it's endorsement, and then, if the grants were forth- coming, the City would receive the checks and turn them over to the school district. She provided the Council with copies of the grant applications, for their review. Councilmember Hankner stated that she has worked with Ms. Seidenkranz, and feels she does an excellent job. She stated that she would have no problem in sponsoring the grant application. Mayor Mcl�arty expressed concern with not knowing if any funding would be available after the year was up, to continue any programs that were started, and to continue the salary of the two assistants who are to be hired. Councilmember Hankner replied that that is always the case with federal grants, that there is no guarantee they will be continued. Ms. Seidenkranz explained that none of the proposed programs are new, and the assistants would help her carry out existing programs. Mayor McCarty questioned if the Youth Service Bureau would step in at the end of the year, if further funding was not available. Ms. Seidenkranz replied that her job is short term, in that she provides crisis intervention counseling, and refers anyone on to the Youth Service Bureau who needs further help. Motion/Second: McCarty/Hankner to approve the City of Mounds View as the sponsoring government unit for the WHO applications from the State of Minnesota, for 1,000 and $33,000, naming Carol Seidenkranz as the contact person at the Edgewood Community Center. 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Caed Mayor McCarty closed the reg, r meeting an(? opened 5.

She stated that five homes on the block are up for sale, and she does not want her taxes raised again by paying for the power for another street light. She added that she already has the phone box and electrical box and fire hydrant in her yard and does not want a light pole added.
