MEMORANDUM
To: Michael Mornson
City of St. Anthony Village
From: Denny Palmer
Subject: Drainage District 6
Date: February 26, 1996
Project: 23/27-467 DEP 102
This memo will summarize the key points of Barr's July 19, 1992 Stormwater Management
Analysis District 6 Drainage Basin for council review. I will attend the March 6 council work
session beginning at 7:00 p.m. to answer questions that the council may have regarding drainage
improvements in District 6.
• In 1991, St. Anthony engaged Barr to do an analysis of drainage problems in the city's drainage
District 6. Barr first prepared a computer model which simulated existing conditions of flooding
for an intense rainstorm whose probability of occurrence in any year was 1 percent. Alternative
scenarios of ponding, upgraded pipe capacity, diversion, and combinations of these alternatives
were considered to see how the flooding problem might best be relieved. On the basis of our
analysis, we were able to draw the following conclusions:
1. The flooding within District 6 is caused by storm sewers with inadequate capacity. Today's
standards for the construction of storm sewers call for additional capacity from low areas
for which there is no overland outlet. The existing systems were not provided with this
additional capacity.
2. To increase the capacity of the local storm sewers within District 6 would simply move the
flooding problem downstream to Kenzie Terrace and County Highway 88 because the
capacity of the County Road 88 storm sewer is not adequate to handle the increased flows
which would result from an improved storm sewer system within drainage District 6.

3. There is no capacity available in city of Minneapolis storm sewers to permit diversion of
enough storm flow to alleviate flooding in St. Anthony.
4. The practical alternatives for addressing the flooding problems in District 6 are limited.
a. Provide more outlet capacity, which would require augmenting storm sewer
capacity (building an additional pipe) all the way to the I-35 tunnel at the junction of
I-35`V and County Road 88. The estimated cost for such a solution was in the
neighborhood of$16 million.
b. Provide more storage volume in District 6 to hold the water until capacity was
available in existing downstream storm sewers. The estimated cost for this option was
in the neighborhood of$6 million and would have involved the conversion of valued
park land for stormwater purposes.
(Note: Combinations of increased capacity and storage volume were not considered •
because review disclosed that any alternative involving a combination of these
techniques included the most expensive aspects of both, and were therefore less feasible
than alternative "b".)
c. Do nothing and floodproof those structures which are most likely subject to flooding.
The estimated cost for this work was in the neighborhood of$1 million which was
expected to be provided from private rather than public sources.
As a result of the 1992 study, the council elected to pursue "no action/floodproofing" (alternative c)
option because they believed they had neither the resources nor the public support for either of the
structural alternatives (alternatives a and b).
Figure 2 in the pocket of the 1992 report depicts existing flooding conditions. Please refer to this
map to identify problem areas which are addressed by the stormwater storage option illustrated in
Figure 3, also in the pocket of the 1992 report. Figure 3 was prepared to document what we

believed to be the most feasible structural alternative to address flooding problems in District 6. I
will bring extra copies of Figures 2 and 3 with me to the March 6 work session.
It is my understanding that the city now wishes to consider whether there is public value in
acquiring approximately 61h acres in subwatershed 6A-5 (as shown on Figure 3 in the 1992 report)
without further commitment to the other ponds depicted on Figure 3. It is important to
understand that the improvements proposed on Figure 3 were based upon the presumption that if
improvements were to be made to the St. Anthony system, such improvements should be designed
in accordance with modern criteria (to accommodate a runoff event with a probability of occurrence
of 1 percent in any year). Certainly, limited improvement might result if the system shown on
Figure 3 were partially implemented. We did not analyze partial implementation and I cannot
quantify the improvement that partial implementation would yield,but I do offer these
observations.
• 1. This is the council's last opportunity to deal with storm drainage issues via structural
means. If a portion of this property is not acquired and reserved for flood storage purposes,
then even the alternative represented on Figure 3 of the 1992 report will no longer be
available to the city. In that case, to achieve any form of structural improvement will
probably involve additional floodplain evacuation (purchasing and removal of homes or
structures).
2. Partial implementation of the system depicted on Figure 3 will not achieve a level of
protection consisted with accepted design standards. I am unsure of the legal implications
that might be associated with doing the best you can do when it may be less than the
public may expect.
3. The only alternative for improving the flooding problem at Pahl Avenue is to provide some
storage to relieve the accumulation of the water, and the location in subwatershed 6A-5 is
the only available place for such storage. To develop such storage in subwatershed 6A-5
will require excavation and storm sewer improvements along Wilson Street.

ITEM: PARKING REQUEST FOR PENROD LANE
•
I have checked into the area of concern in the attached letter. It is very difficult
to plow and for emergency vehicles in the area due to parking on the roadway.
The parked cars are from Auto Traac and they park there every day.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend the City install "no parking" signs on the east side of Penrod Lane
between Edgemere and 37th Avenue N.E., which should correct the problem
area.

RE: Changing the East side of Penrod Lane from Edgemere to 37th
Avenue NE to a NO Parking Zone .
The area described above makes driveway ingress and egress very
difficult and dangerous . Three dirveways dump into this area as
well as vehicles tunning off of 37th Ave onto Penrod and Penrod
traffic comming down a hill to 37th Avenue . This makes a small
area with poor visibility, on a hill, with many children, bicycles
and pedestrians,extremely narrow-especially durring -the winter.
Often there are 2 or 3 vehicles parked there all day producing
dangerous conditions for general neighborhood traffic, children,
bicycles , other pedestrians , and residents trying to get into and
out of there driveways .
It would be very helpful if this small stretch of the east side •
of Penrod between Edgemere and 37th Ave. could be a no parking
area . It would cause very little inconvience to parkers to park
around the corner. It would make St . Anthony a safer place .

RE: Silver Lane NE Turnback
On February 14, 1996 Ramsey County informed me that Silver Lane was up for upgrade this
year for turnback to the City.
Silver Lane extends from Silver Lake Road to Stinson Boulevard. The turnback was generated
by the State turning roads over to the Counties and the Counties turning secondary roads over
to the Cities.
I have recommended that this road when turned back to the City go on Minnesota State Aid.
The County got a change in the MSA miles allegation for Cities to put them on without change
to a present dedication.
With the turnbacks the County gives the City the option of total reconstruction. The County
would pay $60,000 of the cost (approximately $500,000) and the City would pay the difference.
If the road is upgraded to a 25 year life the County will pay all the cost.
It would be better for the City if Silver Lane is dedicated MSA. If we had a total reconstruction
it would have to be enlarged at least 40 feet with variances on parking. The City would have
to come up with about $420,000. If it is upgraded it will stay the same size and be put on MSA
status on the rehab road.
The City must apply by the end of February 1996 for MSA status on this road in order to
receive maintenance and construction money allocations for 1996.
I recommend we overlay the road and put a MSA status on the road so the City can receive
assistance on the maintenance.

From: Larry Hamer, Director of Public Works
Re: Silver Lane and Silver Lake Terrace Water Break
The City experienced three water breaks in the 4" water line that services Silver Lake Terrace.
The water break was so bad that the City backhoe could not reach the pipe that needed repair.
A cave-in of ground material which was caused by a water break on the 4" line on Silver Lane
destroyed the pipe on Silver Lake Terrace. We stabilized the ground and replaced 74' out of
91' of cast iron pipe.
• The cost of material, equipment, labor (not counting City equipment and labor) was
approximately $15,933.00. The water breaks caused hardship for the residents on Silver Lake
Terrace. The line should be replaced the full length of Silver Lake Terrace with 4" ductal iron
pipe with a 4" hydrant at the end.
We need an engineered drawing to submit to the State Health Department. The line could be
replaced by the Public Works Department or a contractor. We may have to have a large
machine dig the excavation. If it is decided to contract out the job the Public Works Department
could put the road back. In any case I recommend that we put the road back.
It is estimated that the watermain replacement is about $23,100.00 for labor and equipment and
$5332.00 for the watermain.
I recommend that we replace the watermain with the City removing the asphalt for the contractor
and replacing the asphalt road with budget money.

Subject: Traffic Striping for Proposed Signal Improvement at 39th and Stinson
Dear Larry:
Attached is a copy of a letter we received from BRW in conjunction with the signal
project at 39th and Stinson. We need to decide on a striping plan as this will affect
• phasing on the signals. My preference would be to go with the three-lane
configuration.
Please review the options and let us know of any concerns you would have with
going to the three-lane option. I suggest we discuss this over lunch, at your
convenience, as I owe you a lunch.

SUBJECT: Proposed pavement marking options at Stinson Boulevard and 39th
Avenue NE
Dear Ms. Young:
As requested at our meeting on February 13, we have developed a sketch of the
pavement markings necussary to convert Stinson Boulevard and 39th Avenue to 3-lane
r sections. Both roadways are 44 feet curb face to curb facto. The existing striping on
Stinson Boulevard consiats of a double yellow stripe down the center of the road. The
roadway either operates as a narrow four-lane undivided roadway or as a wide two-lane
roadway. 39th Avenue has similar operations. •
�;1YJ11�� Several pavement marking alternatives including the three lane option are feasible for
the roadways,all of which would work to varying degrees of efficiency with the
proposed traffic signal at Stinson Boulevard and 39th Avenue NE. Four options have
been identified for your review:
1•Jf��J.1�
1. Use existing pavement marking
�r<<: 2. Convert Stinson Boulevard and 39th Avenue to a three lane section
3. Stripe;as four-lane undivided.
4. Leave striping;as is,but add right turn lanes on the south approach and east
approach of the Stinson Boulevard/39th Avenue
If options 2 or 3 are chosen, the roadway should be rvstripud for at least a few blocks to
provide some continuity to the section. On Stinson Boulevard,the three lane section
could be introduced just north of 39th Avenue,and could be continued all the way
through the 37th Avenue intersection. This revision in lane geometry at the 37th Avenue
intersection would greatly improve traffic operations at the intersection by providing a
left turn lane. Current signal operations at the intersection allow for protected/permitted
left turn operations. "Mt: protected portion of the phasing is undenitilized,because of
through vehicles in the left most lane arc blocking lutl:turn vehicles from making use of
the phase. The continuous left turn lane would also provide storage for the many
driveways in this section.

ATTN: Mr. Larry Hamer
: RE: Insituform® Process Project:
36th Ave. Project-Edwards to
Roosevelt, St. Anthony, MN
Dear Mr. Hamer: •
The Insituform process was developed to provide a means of reconstructing existing pipe, conduit
i or passageways without extensive excavation. Some typical applications include:
1. Halting settlement by stopping infiltration of soil and bedding material which often
accompanies groundwater infiltration causing soil voids and shifting ground in gravity
pipelines.
2. Eliminating infiltration of groundwater through joints,breaks and missing sections of gravity
pipelines.
3. Increasing the capacity of existing pipelines by smoothing the interior surface and providing
smooth transitions over joints and protrusions.
4. Reducing maintenance and increasing capacity by reducing depositions and eliminating root
intrusions into gravity pipelines.
5. Protection of pipe from attack by corrosive chemical effluent and vapors.
6. Eliminating the exfiltration of pollutants and chemicals into surrounding groundwater
aquifers through joints and cracks in pipelines.
Elimination of pressure leaks in waterlines b sealing pinholes,joints and cracks. •

8. Strengthening the existing pipe by the manufacturing of a tight fitting Insitupipe®within the
old; bridging joints, cracks and disconnected pipes into a single continuous conduit.
Briefly, here are just a few of the benefits realized from the reconstruction of pipelines using the
Insituform process:
Virtually eliminates excavation problems - depending on the type of pipe or passageway to be
reconstructed(sewers,drains,or conduits) excavation can virtually be eliminated. Existing access
,71 (sewer manholes)is usually sufficient. Side connections can generally be'reinstated' by cutting out
', from within. Bends can be negotiated.
Restores full size capacity - reduces maintenance - this tight fitting pipe is continuous over pipe
joints, openings and faults, the capacity is nearly always increased. The smoothness also reduces
depositions because there are no places for deposition to form, thereby reducing maintenance.
Builds corrosion resistant pipe-resists chemical attack-various thermosetting resins can be selected
• to resist the corrosive effects of the effluent.
Builds a continuous nine-(a new pipe within the old) -this pipe bridges breaks and missing sections
of pipe eliminating infiltration or exfiltration or loss of product in pressure pipes. Insituform fits
tightly and bridges disconnected pipes into a single continuous pipe.
Reconstructs unusual shaped pipes without loss of capacity -elliptical, egg shaped, flat bottom
' horseshoe or rectangular conduits can be reinstated to their existing shape by this tight fitting pipe.
Accomplishes these things in sizes from 4 inches to 8 feet in diameter - Insitupipes have been
constructed to these sizes and may be applicable to those beyond.
Builds or repairs pressure pipes -the thermosetting nature of the resins used yield three dimensional
cross linking; strength in both tensions and compression and high flexural modulus. The result is
a cast-in-place pressure pipe. Few, if any, such field constructed pipes can compare in strength.
J Solves difficult jobs - in addition to negotiating bends, it is possible to reconstruct with the
Insituform process, remote sections inaccessible to wheeled vehicles (e.g. inside buildings). In
addition to being installed without excavation,Insitupipes have been installed where access to only
one end is feasible (vertical wells). Also, it is possible to reconstruct only a portion of a pipeline or
pipelines with reducers.

Easy. safe and reliable - the inversion process effortlessly places the Insitutube® against the pipe
wall without friction. The buoyant effect of the water suspends uninverted flexible pipe in a
frictionless media enabling the Insitutube to traverse long distances between openings. The
Insitutube is propelled by the weight of water in the inversion tube. It snakes itself through
misaligned pipe and around bends,pushing groundwater aside. In manually accessible pipe, it can
eliminate the need for workers to enter,thereby doing the same job easier and safer.
Solves stringent time restraints-preparation time is reduced by eliminating street openings, and risk
of damage to other utilities. Insituform can generally be installed and completed in less on-the-job
time than any other method.
1' The Insituform process offers more convenience to commerce and public -little inconvenience is
caused to the public, commercial business or existing utility operations because excavations are
generally eliminated. Little work space is needed for installation. This alone means less restrictions
on access to property and shops and greater assurance of safety.
Longevity-for normal applications such as gravity sewers, service life of Insitupipe can be expected •
' to approach fifty years. Service life of Insitupipe is a function of the temperature,pressure, velocity
and chemical and abrasive properties of the materials being carried.
Custom -EnQineered- Insitutubes are custom-engineered to optimize total life performance using
time-proven formulas. These take into account requirements for diameter, length and condition of
pipe, flow rates,temperature, pressure and corrosion of the materials being carried.
We believe the Insituform process would be ideally suited for your pipeline reconstruction project
based on the experience gained in utilizing the process for over 20 million feet of sewers and other
pipelines in various geographical areas of the United States.
Per your request we are pleased to submit the following proposal for the above referenced project:
Item (1) Manhole 432-431-428
Furnish and install approximately 521 lineal feet of 9 inch diameter Insitupipe with
a minimum nominal wall thickness of 0.282 inches and reinstatement of 7 service
connections.
i
Lump Sum — $ 25,800
The above price is based upon work to be performed in conjunction with other work
in the area at our convenience. is

DATE: February 9, 1996
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Michael Mornson, City Manager
ITEM: VACANT LOT ADJACENT TO CUSTOM INDUSTRIAL
PRODUCTS
Ken Solie and Jerry Cowan, two local developers, are requesting up to $233,000 in TIF to
assist them in the construction of a 30,000 square foot commercial facility. This facility
would serve two tenants who would provide a minimum of 30 jobs. The facility would have a
value of$1.2 million and a tax bill of$60,000 per year, compared to the estimated taxes of
$5,000. This $60,000 per year is approximately the same amount of taxes that the Custom
Industrial Products building is bringing in. In addition, they will also need a public hearing
for subdivision and one for an expectant variance request.
• Policy Iml2act
The City's policy states that the City can provide up to $10,000 in assistance for each
$100,000 increase in value and $5,000 for every job created or retained.
$1.2 million in value = $120,000
30 jobs 150.000
$270,000
The City has approximately $500,000 in the fund balance from the Chandler and Kenzie TIF
districts. I would propose the City use those funds for this redevelopment, as we did for
American Monarch and the two townhouse projects. The benefits of this are: (1) no bond
sale; (2) no TIF district created; (3) no LGA penalty; and, most importantly, (4) the City,
School and County benefit immediately.
To be able to provide the funding for this development, the City will need to conduct a public
hearing to amend our budget. I have attached the activities that are currently permitted to
utilize TIF funds. Since we are going through the hearing, we may want to add or delete to
the plan.
• PIease let me know within the next 30 days, if there are any changes you would like to see in
the TIF plan.

Mike Mornson
City Manager
City of St . Anthony
3301 Silver Lake Road
St . Anthony, MN 55418
• Dear Mike :
Our company recently purchased the property located
at 2801 37th Avenue NE . Along with the purchase of this
property, we acquired the land to the east up to the Amoco
station on Silver Lake Road . The area from the existing
parking lot to the east property line is approximately
65 , 000 square feet . Additional land to the north is
available for lease from CP Rail as needed to supplement
the site .
We have been contacted by Systec , a local company
currently located on Chandler Drive . They have been given
notice to vacate their current space in approximately one
year to allow for expansion of their neighbor and current
landlord , Marshall Manufacturing . Systec is a $ 3 . 0
million company with 20 employees . They want to stay in
St . Anthony but will have to move from the City if
• suitable space is not available . Systec, has given us a
Letter of Intent to lease a minimum of 10 , 000 square feet
3
.LL-A :iew facility located on the subject parcel . A
drawing of the parcel and an approximate building foot
print is attached. •
Our company is proposing to build a 30 , 000 square
feet industrial building to accommodate Systec and up to
three new light manufacturing businesses .
We have reviewed our proposed construction with two
contractors experienced in industrial property
construction and have been advised that the principal
construction concern is the existing soil condition . We
understand that the site was used for disposal of street
or highway demolition debris and that it is likely that
this would need to be completely removed to Permit
construction . Without comprehensive soil testing the
exact cost of the coil correction work cannot be
determined . However , our contractors estimate a worst
case cost to be $ 175 , 000 . We are asking City assistance
for this amount to achieve a buildable site .
Additional basic site preparation work and utility •
installation will total an estimated $ 58 , 000 . This
expense is necessary to prepare the site for final
construction and City assistance is also requested in this
amount . Two versions of a project cost summary are
attached . Version A includes the requested City
assistance . Version B includes no City assistance . It is
anDarent that the project cannot proceed without St .
Anthony participation .
Our company will contribute equity in the amount of
$212 , 500 in land value and cash , financing approximately
$850 , 000 . We expect a market value for real estate taxes
purposes of approximately $ 1 . 2 million.
The benefits to the City for its participation
include:
1 . The retention of 20 jobs at Systec .
•
2 . Assuming new companies similar to Systec , a:.
Tonal 20 to 40 new jobs would be created in the
• City.
3 . The addition of $ 1 . 2 million to the tax base- , '
resulting in additional real estate taxes of
approximately $60 , 000 .
4 . A contribution to the continuing redevelopment of
the Apache Plaza area into a viable economic region.
The feasibility of the proposed development is
contingent on a final determination of soil conditions and
correction costs . With the City ' s agreement to proceed as
herein proposed, we will start immediately with testing .
If the conditions are significantly different than
expected, our request will be terminated or modified as
appropriate .
Our preliminary development schedule includes
construction start in early summer with occupancy planned
• for the fall of 1996 .

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Managers,Administrators,Attorneys and Chiefs of Police of Defendant Cities
in Starks & Fields v. MPRS, et al.
FROM: Charles L. LeFevere (7
DATE: February 9, 1996
• RE: Response to the Order of Judge Solum Relating to Hiring Commitment and
Affirmative Action Programs
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide you with an update on the obligation of the
defendant cities and the MPRS to respond to Order No. 4 on page 7 of Judge Solum's order of
November 6, 1995 in the Starks & Fields case. Order No. 4 requires the defendants to submit
detailed plans or programs for the implementation of Findings No. 14 and 15 on pages 5 and 6
of the order.
I. EXTENSION OF TIME
At our request, Judge Solum has granted an extension of time to provide the requested
information to the court, until March 1, 1996. It was somewhat more difficult than I had
expected to convince the court to grant us an extension. Therefore, it would be prudent
to regard March 1 as an absolute deadline.
Mel Harris tells me that he will have a completed draft of the affirmative action program
to us by February 14, 1996. We will immediately transmit a copy of that draft to the
cities for their review, comment and consideration. Given the shortness of time between
the completion of Mel's project and the court's deadline, it is essential that the cities
review the document as soon as possible.
• If anof the cities Iles have not yet provided information to Mel, that information must be
provided as soon as possible.

To date, I have received word from two cities, Mendota Heights and Brooklyn Park, that
they will be submitting their own individual affirmative action programs to the court.
II. RESOLUTION ON DAMAGES
On December 29, 1995, I forwarded to all of the defendant cities a draft resolution
relating to the allocation of damages among the defendant cities. The formula described
in the resolution was recommended to the MPRS board by its executive committee. I
received a few comments about the form and format of the resolution, and those
recommendations have been incorporated in the attached, revised resolution. Therefore,
I submit the attached resolution for consideration for adoption by each of the defendant
cities.
I would appreciate it if you could provide me with a copy of the adopted resolution for
your city once the council has decided. If the city council declines to approve the
resolution, I would appreciate being notified of that as well.
III. POCOP PROGRAM
On January 31, 1993, at the invitation of the State Department of Public Safety,
representatives of a number of the defendant cities attended a meeting at the Rosemount
community center about the Police Officer Career Opportunities Program (POCOP). The
State Department of Public Safety and the cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis have entered
into a joint powers agreement for the training of police officers. The program which is
run under this joint powers agreement is referred to as POCOP.
As many of you will recall, until the late '70s, cities hired police officers who were then
sent to a police academy for their law enforcement training. The law was then changed
to require a two-year community college program of an approved law enforcement
curriculum, followed by the POST board examination. POCOP is a return to the older
system. The joint powers organization contracts with community colleges to put on what
is essentially a police academy for the Department of Public Safety and participating
cities. POCOP has extended an invitation to the defendant cities in the Starks & Fields
lawsuit to participate in an upcoming POCOP program.
This program requires the city to hire candidates as police officers and send them to the
academy. The academy is a course of study of between four and five months. The cost
to the city would be the tuition which is approximately $3,500 plus whatever salary is
paid to the police officer during the academy period. The next POCOP class is scheduled
to begin on September 3, 1996 to end during December, with graduation in early January.
• It will be given at the Rosemount community center.

The POCOP program has had one class in the past and the participating cities were very
successful in recruiting and training minority police officers. The primary advantage of
the program is that it accelerates the certification process from two years to four months.
Because of this, it greatly expands the pool of potential minority candidates. Cities are
currently effectively limited to the pool of applicants who have completed, or are about
to complete, the two-year community college program in law enforcement. Under the
POCOP program, a city can recruit from a substantially larger minority candidate pool.
For example, a city might recruit a minority candidate with a BA degree, hire him or her
as a police officer and have the candidate qualified and certified in just over four months.
We have been advised that the assistance of the State Department of Employee Relations
will be available to assist cities in recruiting minority candidates for this program.
I understand that the City of Plymouth has already reserved two spots in the upcoming
POCOP class.
I urge you to seriously consider participating in this program if it is consistent with your
police officer hiring needs. I believe that it would be very helpful to be able to represent
to the court in our submittal on March 1, 1996 that a number of cities have made a •
commitment to participate in this program.
If you would like further information about the program, I would encourage you to
contact Mr. John Edwards at the State Department of Public Safety. Additionally, I
understand that grant money is available through the POST board for participation in this
program. I would suggest that, if you are interested in the POST board grant program,
you contact the POST board directly.

• CITY OF ST. ANTHONY
COUNTY OF HENNEP N/RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 96-021
RESOLUTION APPROVING ALLOCATION OF DAMAGES
AND AUTHORIZING PAYMENT THEREOF
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of St. AnthonyMinnesota (City)
as follows:
Section 1. Background.
1.1. The City of St. Anthony (hereinafter referred to as the "City") is a defendant in
the cases of Starks v. Minneapolis Police Recruitment System, et al.; Hennepin County District
Court File No. EM93-219, and Fields v. Minnesota Police Recruitment System, et al.; District
Court File No. EM93-218.
1.2. The Court has concluded in said actions that the defendants violated Minnesota
• Statutes, Chapter 363, the Minnesota Human Rights Act, in the administration of the Minnesota
Police Recruitment System (MPRS) testing process for entry level police officers employment
screening and that defendants are obligated to pay certain damages and penalties.
1.3. In its order dated November 6, 1995, the Court determined that the defendant cities
are obligated to pay $156,688 in damages for lost wages and emotional distress.
1.4. The Court has also determined that the MPRS, a joint powers organization of which
the City is a member, or was a member at the time the actions were commenced, is obligated to
pay each of the two plaintiffs punitive damages in the amount of $8,500.
1.5. The Court has not yet made a determination as to the award of plaintiffs' costs,
disbursements, and attorneys' fees.
1.6. The Court also determined that the unlawful discrimination by the defendants can
reasonably be remedied in part by paying a statutory penalty in the amount of $300,000 to the
state of Minnesota, or in lieu of such penalty establishing a reasonable minority race hiring
commitment satisfactory to the Court. In the event a hiring commitment is submitted to the
Court which is found to be satisfactory, it may be that the payment of a statutory penalty will
not be required.
1.7. The MPRS has proposed that the payment of monetary damages to the plaintiffs
• described above in paragraph 1.3, punitive damages described above in paragraph 1.4 and
plaintiffs' costs, disbursements and attorneys' fees be allocated among the parties on the
following basis:
CLL98335
MP110-2 1
-4_4
20% of such costs would be divided equally among the 36 city defendants. 80% of such •
damages would be divided pro rata on the basis of the population served by the cities police
departments as of the time the actions were commenced in January of 1993. Such population
would be determined on the basis of Metropolitan Council estimates for cities in the metropolitan
area. For communities outside of the metropolitan area the population would be determined by
the State Demographer's estimates. For communities with service contracts under which police
service is provided to other municipalities, the populations of such other municipalities would
be included in the computation of population served.
Sec. 2. Findings.
2.1. It is in the best interest of the City to reach mutual agreement on the allocation of
damages.
2.2. The allocation proposed by the MPRS is found to be fair and reasonable, and
consent thereto is in the best interest of the City.
Sec. 3. Approvals and Authorizations.
3.1. The allocation for payment of damages,penalties,costs,disbursements and attorneys'
fees described above is hereby approved.
3.2. The City consents and agrees to payment of its share of such damages, penalties, •
costs, disbursements and attorneys' fees in accordance with the allocation formula described
above.
Finance
3.3. The City Manager and Director are authorized and directed to make
payment for the City's share of final judgment of such expenses in accordance with the agreed
upon allocation.
3.4. This resolution does not amend any previous agreement among the defendant cities
for allocation of defense costs and defendants' attorneys fees; and nothing herein shall be deemed
to be an agreement as to allocation of any statutory penalties which may be awarded in the
future.
3.5. This resolution constitutes only an agreement between and among all cities which
are defendants in the above-referenced actions which consent and agree to the allocation formula
described above by adoption of substantially similar resolutions. Nothing herein shall be deemed
an admission of responsibility or a liability in any action for contribution by any city which has
not consented to such allocation or a waiver by the City of any rights, claims, demands, or causes
of action for contribution by the City against any city which has not agreed to such allocation.

Mr. Michael Mornson, City Manager
ST. ANTHONY VILLAGE
3301 Silver Lake Road
St. Anthony,Minnesota 55418-1699
Dear Mr. Mornson,
Thank you for your letter of January 24, 1996. I have been intending to contact
the City since we managed to avoid foreclosure November 30, 1995. As part of
our refinance, a$10,000.00 construction fund has been established by our lender
• to assist us in completing our home construction.
Following receipt of your letter,Mr. Rolf Widlund of SCANDINAVIAN HOME
CONSTRUCTION was hired to complete our garage construction. In response to
your letter I asked Mr. Widlund to contact the City Offices to advise Mr. Hamer
that we were making plans to proceed with our construction, and I'm told that he
has recently had one or two conversations with Mr. Hamer or the building
inspector about our construction plans. Mr. Widlund hopes to begin the
completion of our garage within the month and anticipates that construction may
take less than a month,weather permitting.
Unfortunately, completion of the garage will consume almost the entire
$10,000.00 construction fund so the remaining work to be completed on our house
will have to be done mostly by us,with perhaps some volunteer help. This will
obviously take longer than would be required by a professional builder, never the
less I feel all work could be satisfactorily completed within the terms of a six
month building permit.
Of equal concern is the threatening tone of the letter from the City Prosecutors,
Foster, Ojile,Wentzell and Brever. Perhaps this is partly due to the date of the
letter allegedly sent by you on January 17, 1996. Your letter which we received is
dated January 24, 1996 possibly giving the City Prosecutors the impression that
more time had elapsed
•
than was actually the case. In any event, please be assured that it has been no
pleasure for us to be living in an unfinished house for the past six years, and we are
intensely interested in finishing our construction as quickly as resources and energy
permit. If the City Prosecutors have any further concerns, our attorney Mr. Mark
McCullough of Skaar and McCullough invites them to contact him at 333-1511.
Sincerely,
James B. Pirino
Encl. •
cc: Mr. Mark McCullough
Attorney At Law
Post Script: During our telephone conversation earlier today I indicated that our
builder,Mr. Widlund, had spoken with Mr. Larry Hamer, however my wife tells
me that Mr. Widlund said he had spoken with the building inspector. Please
accept my apology if this error on my part has caused any confusion.

Mr. Pirino:
• The City Council has directed me to inquire about your time frame for the construction of
your garage as well as the completion of code violations. The latter are listed in letters from
Duane Grace dated June 10, 1994 and April 3, 1992 (both letters are submitted for your
review).
To apply for a building permit for the garage and the completion of the code violations, you
may arrange for an appointment through Larry Hamer. As you know, the City uses the
services of Duane Grace for building inspections. If you would like a re-inspection of the
property, please call for an appointment at 789-8881.
The City wants to know your time frame to complete the garage and to bring the code
violations in compliance.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincere y,

Mr. James B. Pirino

St. Anthony, MN 55418
Dear Mr. Pirino:
As you may be aware, our office serves as the City Prosecutors for the City of St. Anthony. On
or about January 17, 1996 you received a letter from Michael Morrison, the City Manager of St.
Anthony, requesting that you contact the City with regard to construction of your garage, as well
as the completion of work necessary to remove code violations on your homestead. A copy of
• that letter is attached for your reference.
Mr. Momson has informed me that you have not contacted the City with regard to his letter.
This is to put you on notice that, if you have not contacted either myself or the City within the
next seven days to commence the process of completing your garage and removing the code
violations, we have been authorized by the City Council to take whatever steps are available
under the St. Anthony Village ordinances to enforce compliance. This will be your last written
notice before code compliance actions are commenced.
The City Council views this as an extremely serious matter and I would therefore strongly urge
that you take action to come into compliance immediately.
Si y s,
