barricades on South Fifth Street
(in front of St. Mary's School Building)
The Religious Education program requests permission to put up
barricades during lunch hour on school days. The building is
located at 423 South 5th Street, next to St. Mary's Church.
Each school day approximately 70-90 students are here for
religion classes. Throughout the month 860 students cross
5th street to get to the parking lot for playground. There
have been some close calls on cars going through at a good
rate of speed which is a danger to the children in that area.
The time of closing off the street would only be from
11:15A.M. to 12:00A.M.Noon.
If you have any further questions please feel free to
call/stop by the Office (439-7142).
We would appreciate some action to correct this situation.
Thank you for your services.

SUBJECT: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION FROM ARMORY
COMMITTEE
The Armory Committee met October 9, 1991. At the meeting,
the Committee reviewed an offer from the property owner
next to the Armory site to sell the land to the City. The
site contains 7.5 acres and is offered for $330,000.
The Committee discussed the offer and felt this was a good
time to purchase the site for further Committee needs. The
site is directly west of the 8.0 acre parcel purchased this
Spring for the Armory by the City and could provide for an
expanded Armory Community Facility.
RECOMMENDATION:
Consideration of purchase of 7.5 acre site and direct Staff
to review alternatives for financing purchase.
In other actions, the Committee discussed enhancements and
additions to the Armory and decided to send a questionnaire
to government and community groups regarding space and
facil i ty needs.
The Committee also recommends the Mayor send letters to
their state representatives in support of a new Stillwater
Armory, including relocation, the Minnesota Finance Company
and Vehicle Maintenance Shop.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize Mayor to send letters to State Representatives
supporting the Stillwater Armory.

RE: Soil Borings
City of Stillwater Storage Yard
501 North Main Street
Stillwater, Minnesota
MPCA Leak #4160
Dear Mr. Junker:
American Engineering Testing, Inc. is pleased to offer our services for drilling soil borings,
screening the soil and submitting selected samples for laboratory analysis at the above-referenced
property.
This proposal describes the work scope, schedule, fees and other information regarding our
servIces.
Project Information
Three underground gasoline storage tanks were removed from the above-referenced property on
Thursday, June 20, 1991. Soil surrounding the tanks exceeded the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency (MPCA) excavation guidelines. Approximately 75 cubic yards of contaminated soil was
excavated at the time of the tank removal. Due to site constraints, it was not practical to remove
contaminated soil which remains in the base of the tank excavation. Clean fill was placed in the
excavation.
The petroleum release was reported to the MPCA by Bill Tomczyk of American Engineering
Testing, Inc. on Thursday, June 20,1991. The MPCA project manager assigned to the site is
Dawn Davison (643-3429). The MPCA site identification is MPCA Leak #4160.
As petroleum contamination remains at the tank excavation, the MPCA will request that you
determine the extent of the contamination and propose site remediation or no further action,
depending on the extent of the contamination remaining at the site.

Purpose
The purpose of our work is to collect soil samples from borings in and around the detected soil
contamination to determine the horizontal and vertical extent of the contamination. Four to six
borings will be put down to an approximate depth of 20'. If deeper borings are necessary, we
will discuss the increased work scope with you prior to proceeding with such work. We will
screen the samples with a photo-ionization detector (H-Nu meter). The H-Nu meter will detect
many volatile organic compounds, including petroleum products and other solvents.
In addition, we plan to submit six water samples and zero to six soil samples to the laboratory
to support our field measurements. The number of samples will be determined by the number
of borings and the extent of contamination.
Scope of Services
To accomplish our above purpose, our work scope for the estimate of fees as described below,
is limited to:
1.
Clear public utilities with the Gopher State One Call system.
2. Steam clean down-hole drilling equipment prior to entering the site, and at the site as
necessary. Wash the split-spoon sampler between samples with Trisodium phosphate
(TSP) and rinse with tap water.
3. AET will have field personnel on-site for air monitoring and soil screening.
4. Drill four to six soil borings to an approximate depth of 20' each or to ground water if
encountered at shallower depths. Sampling will be at 21f2' and 5' intervals as site
conditions warrant.
5. Screen all soil samples with an H-Nu meter.
6. Submit six water samples and zero to six soil samples to the laboratory for analysis for
benzene, ethyl benzene, toluene and xylene (EP A Method 8020) and lead, to support our
field measurements.
7. Steam clean the down hole drilling equipment pnor to leaving the site if gross
contamination is detected or suspected.
8.
Backfill the bore holes with bentonite and drill cuttings if no contamination is detected
by field methods. Contaminated bore holes must be backfilled with neat cement grout,
as per Minnesota Department of Health guidelines.
e
e
e
Mr. Dave Junker
October 1, 1991
Page 3
9. Locate the soil borings in relation to on-site structures.
10. Prepare a written report of our work for the City of Stillwater.
11. Prepare and submit a written report, induding AET's recommendations, to the MPCA
for review.
12. Provide the City of Stillwater with a Petro fund application. Those portions of the
application requiring technical information will be filled out by AET.
Project Direction
Services we perform will be done under the direction of an experienced engineer registered in
the State of Minnesota.
Conditions
The attached Service Agreement and Subsurface Boring Supplement are a part of this proposal.
Fees
Our fees for these services will be charged on a time and materials basis in accordance with our
current schedule of fees which is attached. We anticipate that the field work will take one and
one half to two days.
Verbal results of our field screening will be available on the day of the field work. Laboratory
results will be available approximately ten working days following field work.
For the work scope described above, our estimated cost is:
Drilling Operations and Report Preparation
Lab Analysis (six to twelve samples)
$3900
$820 - $1710
If grout is required to backfill contaminated bore holes, the cost will increase by $8 per foot of
grouted bore hole.
Acceptance
Please indicate your acceptance of this proposal by signing both copies and returning one to us.

FROM:
Joel G. Schilling, Senior Scientist~
Water Resources Department {f'
SUBJECT:
Implications from the 1991 Minnesota Wetland
Conser\'ation Act
e
Randy Thoreson and myself attended a short seminar today entitled: "Recent
Developments in Federal, State, and Local Wetland Regulation" sponsored by the
law firm of Larkin, Hoffman, Daly and Lindgren, Ltd. The main speaker was Ms.
Linda Fisher, Senior Attorney with the firm who prepared a 27 page handout
pertaining to the maze of local, state and federal regulations dealing with
wetland impacts. A copy of her handout, which is in outline form and quick
reading is available from Randy or myself.
The main reason for this memorandum is to raise a few very important issues to
each of you with respect to the new state law mentioned above, as follows:
.
The MDNR'S permitting authority remains over protected wetlands
(Types 3,4, 5 ) greater than or equal to 10 acres in unincorporated
areas and 2.5 acres or greater in incorporated areas.
.
New jurisdictional authority was granted to the State which applies
essentially to all wetlands. This authority granted to the lead state
agency: Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) is either very
similar or exactly the same as the Corps of Engineers (CaE)
authority under Section 404. This means that all wetlands would be
covered.
.
BWSR must develop rules to implement the Act by July 1, 1993. The
Act takes effect on January 1, 1992 which means that no
landowner may drain, fill, or burn a wetland under the
State's jurisdiction after that date. There are exceptions to
e
SHORT EWOTT
HENDRICKSON INe.
5T: PAUL,
MINNESOTA
CHIPPEWA FALLS,
WISCONSIN
this with the mqst notable being projects which have a preliminary
or final plat, site! plan or conditional use permit approvals or in
which infrastructp.re has already been installed.
e
I
· Even after BWSRj adopts rules, a landowner may not wholly or
partially fin orJI rain a wetland unless replacement of wetland areas
of equal valuee completed in accordance with an approved
replacement pla~ on a ratio of 1:1 for agricultural areas and
2:1 for nonagritultural areas. The problem with these latter two
bullet items is t~at replacement plans cannot be created or approved
until the BWSR ttules have been completed on or before July 1, 1993.
I
I
The new Act is comprehens~ve and complicated, therefore it's important that
our clients (particularily loc~l governments) are appraised of it's existence and
implications to both private I and public developments and improvements. Please
see me if you have questioQs regarding this matter.

Dear Mayor and City Council:
In our recent correspondence to you, we asked that you address a number of
issues. To date we have had no response.
There is still a problem with handicap access behind Trump's. The contractor
stated he would remove the sand pile which blocks the end of the ramp, but he
has not done so yet. Also, we have not yet received a copy of the original
lighting schedule.
Finally, on Friday, October 4, 1991, the dust on South Main was unbearable.
The merchants did not get any help with this until approximately 3:00 p.m. We
were not able to locate the engineer, the City Attorney, or the City Planner.
Therefore, we request that, when the engineer is unavailable, an alternate
contact person will be on hand to take care of problems.
We ~ld appreciate your attention to these matters.
Sincerely,
SANDRA R. OOEIM AND ASSX:IATES, L'ID.

Dear Mr. Ab~n: lut
Thank you for participat~ng in the dedication of the Stillwater
Visi tor Center on September 29. The ceremony represented the
culmination of a lot of concentrated effort by many people. Of
major importance is the fact that the new facility demonstrates the
positive results through cooperative efforts among Federal, State
and local governments.
e
I appreciate the support you, the city government and the people of
Stillwater gave to this endeavor and look forward to our working
together in the future as we promote both public enjoyment and
protection of the scenic values of our shared resource, the St.
Croix River.
Sincere~

Dear Mr. Wallack:
I've learned about you in this mornings Minneapolis Star
and Tribune. It stated how you came to the aid of Cougar
owner, by gifting him a Million Dollar policy, so that he
can keep his Cougar in the City of Stillwater, MN.
Mr. Wallack, this story saddened me so much, as it reminded
me how my grandson was at~acked by a neighbors Pet Wolf. It was
the most gruesome thing anyone could ever imagine. My
grandson still has horrific nightmares of the attack even
though two years have past and he is now seven years old.
The doctors hope the nightmares will diminish in the years
to come.
Mr. Wallack, I am enclosing copies of some of the newspaper
articles that were written about our little Peter Lemke and the
traumas he has endured. Do you feel money, can make up for all
the hurt and the agony? You couldn't possibly, if you really
understood that it could happen. I know you think it can't.
In one of the articles that is attached a university professor
who is making a life long study of Wild Animals In Captivity
states they are TIME BOMBS waiting to GO OFF~ No, it is not
the animals fault, they belong in the wild. Humans are at
fault, for trying to tame them.
I hope and pray that you will think twice about what you have
done. I also hope and pray that you will never have to live
with your conscious if one of the wild animals you are attempt-
ing to protect attacks a small child.

Dear Mr. Abrahamson:
I read the article on the Cougar problem Stillwater is facing,
in this mornings Star & Tribune.
Judging from the story you are putting up a legal defense to
to contain the Cougar, inorder to protect your citizens of the
City of Stillwater. Congratulations~ It is gratifying to see
City officials that are so concerned about their citizens.
I only wish the City officials in Kenyon, MN had been equally
cognizant of the terrible problem Wild Animals in captivity
can pose for its ~itizens.
I am enclosing articles that were written when my grandson,
Peter Lemke, was attacked by a PET WOLF. We recognize it wasn't
the animals fault. It had. been left on a chain for two days
unattended. A professor who studies wild animals in captivity
has been quoted saying;"Wild Animals in captivity are a Time
Bomb waiting to Go Off". Believe me, my grandson is living
proof to that statement. But, the terrible truth is there are
hundreds of similar cases throughout the country happening each
year. Our Support Group can .attest to this fact.'
We-hope you can s61ve the Cougar problem for Stillwater, regard-
less of Million Dollar insurance policies. Money, can't bring
back a child or erase the agonizing memories of the attack.

Dear Mr. Adams:
I read your article in this mornings paper about the Cougar
in Stillwater. My what horrible memories your story brought
back to me. My grandson was attacked by a neighbors "pet"
wolf on July 1, 1989 in Kenyon, Minnesota.
The nightmare that followed that attack will live in my
'families memory forever. Lu~kily, my grandson lives in Kenyon
which is very near Mayo Clinic in Rochester. He waatrans-"
ported by the Mayo One helicopter to St. Mary~ Hospital which
is the only reason he is alive today. His heart stopped twice
in the helicopter and was restarted by the physicians aboard
prior to arrival at St. Marys.
Mr. Adams, I could go on for pages describing this horrible
accident that was caused by someones "pet" wild animal. It
wasn't the animals fault. It's wild and as a professor who
studies wild animals in"captivity put it, "They are a TIME
BOMB waiting to go off, and they WILL GO OFF. "_::-
Is it worthwile to take that chance to cause the permanent
injury to a child and in most cases death, just to be able
to boast that one has a WILD ANIMAL as a pet?
I am attaching copies of many of the articles that were
written about my grandsons, incredibly horrible experi~nce.
Please, please do what you can to stop this from ever happening
to anyone again.

Dear Mr. Sowers:
I read about your Cougar in this mornings Star and Tribune.
Mr. Sowers I know you probably feel you have a right to own
whatever pet you want to own. That is probably true, if you
lived on. farm miles away from anyone else. But, your pet
is a Wild Animal regardless of your opinion and it does pose
a terrible threat to those around you. .
Please read the articles that were written about my grandson,
Peter Lemke, when he was attacked by someones Pet Wolr.
Believe me, that owner thought his pet was SAFE. But, wild
animals belong in the Wild. I know you love your cougar but,
is it worth it, knowing it could kill or seriously injure a
small child~ If you really think about it, deep down in
your heart, you know it is a TIME BOMB waiting to go off.
Mr. Sowers, it will GO OFF~
I could go on for hours describing the terrible tragedy that
happened to my grandson Peter Lemke. The wolf tore him apart
when this five year old walked up to pet the animal. His
-lntestines were in the dirt when his parents found him, .. with
the wolf standing over him. Lucky his father was a paramedic
and the Mayo helicopter arrived so quickly. His poor little
heart stopped twice in the helicopter, taking him to St Mary's
hospital.
Mr. Sowers, do you have children? Would you want this to happen
them. Of course not, but it could. Why in Gods name do you
want to take that chance? Is it worth it...........
Sincerely,
Pete J. Marinovich

Lemke said that he believes prayer by people all over Minnesota as
well as other states helped his son to heal. "Special services were held
and people said they wouldn't stop praying until he gets out of the
hospital," Lemlce said.
Peter Lemke was attacked by a 70-pound, 14-month-old wolf which
was kept chained behind the home of Douglas Earl, Kenyon. The wolf

charges have not been filed.

Kenyon boy now 'biggest thing on block~
By JOHN HUGHES
Post-Bullelin Staff Writer
KENYON - Five-vear-old
Peter Lemke played with toys
Friday in his first full day home
since a wolf attacked him, and the
wolf's former owner who lives
two blocks away said he feels
unwelcome in Kenyon.
Doug Earl, whose pet wolf,
Raja, seriously injured Lemke in
Earl's back yard, said some
Kenyon residents used to wave
and say helIo but have given him
the cold shoulder since the July 1
attack.
"You sort of feel that they
would like to see you out of here,"
t . Earl said.
l Peter's friends visited him at
I home Friday while the boy played
with cars, blew bubbles and
i played with his pet poodle, Koko.
~ '"He's ~e biggest thing on the
i block here," said Richard Lemke,
the boy's father, as some of
Peter's friends knocked on the
door. .
Peter still didn't want to talk
!. about the wolf attack which left
him hospitalized for 20 days and
caused him to lose half his colon
and 12 inches of intestine. Peter
must use a colostomy bag for up
to 3", months until he undergoes
another operation, Richard
Lemke said.
Peter told his father that he
I saw a "pretty puppy" through
f Earl's hedge and went to pet him
when he was attacked, Richard
I Lemke said. The 14-month-old
wolf. which was three-fourths
Arctic Tundra and one-fourth
British Columbia, had been tied to
I a pole with a 20-foot chain.
Peter had stormed off from the
. Lemke home after having an
argument with his brother over a
t basketball game. By the time his
t,' parents found him in Earl's back
yard, the wolf stood over him and
Peter was covered with scratches
I and cuts and was almost
t. completely black from dirt
around the wolf's pole.
"I carried him from under the
wolf, laid him in fresh grass and

the father said.
Hundreds of cards and letters,
some containing up to $3.000. have
come from throughout the
country for the Peter Lemke
Trust Fund at Security State
Bank in Kenyon. Richard Lemke
said he doesn't know how much
mone\' he has collected. but he
said ii will go toward hospital
bills if insurance doesn't co\'er
them. or an education fund for
Peter.
The Lemkes ha\'e not spoken
with Earl since the incident. But
Earl received a letter dated July
17 from the Lemke's attorney
advising Earl to notify his
homeowner's insurance company
that the Lemkes will be filing a
claim.
Earl's wife, Cindy, works for
Richard Lemke at Foldcraft Co.
in Kenyon, and although the two
have spoken, they have not
discussed the incident. Richard
Lemke said.
Lemke said he has no bad
feelings toward Earl, but he said
the wolf probably shouldn't have
been kept as a pet. "It was a wild
animal. It belonged romping up
north."
Earl disagreed. "He was a _
domesticated wolf, be was not
wild. He was born in captivity and
his parents were born in
captivity,"
Earl, 30, said television
cameras, reporters and gawkers
have come to his house but that
few people understand his side of
the story. He said his wolf wasn't
a killer.
"He (the wolf) knew my kids
real well and played with them,"
Earl said. "I just feel from
knowing the animal that he
wouldn't have done it if he
wouldn't have had a reason."
"Wolves are still territorial,
and that was definitely his
territory," Earl said. "That was
the only way I could see that he
could have been provoked."
Earl's wolf, which he bought
from a Northfield animal farm in
June 1988, was destroyed July 5.
Earl said he had a wire fence
around the wolf last year but that
it didn't contain him. He said he
had planned to erect another
eight-foot fence around the wolf
the week after the attack.
He added, "I do admit it was a
mistake having him (the wolf) in
town, It was poor judgment on my

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
REIMBURSEMENT/COMPANY-RELATED EXPENSES - Vice Chair Ulrich
informed the Commission that a check, in the amount of $314.20, had
been received from King paying the balance of the bill submitted to
them in July 1991 for expenses incurred on their behalf in connection
with changing the name of the Grantee to King Videocable Company-
St. Croix and then to King Videocable-Minnesota, and also, granting
King's request for an extension of time for submittal of their annual
reports. The company had previously paid only the cost for
publications, questioning their responsibility for legal and
administrative costs associated with these variances and amendment.
She thanked King Videocable for the reimbursement.
COPYRIGHT ISSUE - Ulrich reported that a letter had been mailed
to Tony Lewis of the NFLCP seeking his opinion as to how cities,
commissions and corporations can best protect themselves from possible
liability for program content until such time federal legislation is
enacted. According to Multichannel News article (7/29/91) the NFLCP
has been attempting for the past two years to have an amendment added
to the Cable Act that would explicitly exemplify city and non-profit
corporations from liability for program content - same as the cable
operator. The corporation is also seeking advice and information on
the copyright issue.
Charlie Foukes arrived.

SUBSCRIBER PRIVACY NOTICE - Foukes informed the Commission that
the subscriber privacy notice complies with state statute and the only
difference between st~te statute and the ordinance is the clause, "or
by any other means.~1 Foukes said the company can survey but not
monitor subscribers v~ewing habits from subscriber terminals. Ulrich
and Richert contended that the ordinance implicitly states that names
and addresses of subscribers may not be distributed or sold to another
party without the subscriber's prior approval. It was also pointed out
that the franchise ordinance can be more restrictive than state
statute.
Lower Valley Commission's minutes of their August 5, 1991, meeting
indicated that their attorney was redrafting the notice along with
Foukes. Foukes replied that he is drafting a letter to both
commissions, and will, request that changes become effective with the
next notice issued (n~xt year.) Richert remarked about King
Videocable's responsipility to be in compliance with the ordinance
before the transfer o~ ownership can be completed.
(The following words are taken directly from the subscriber privacy
notice and the franchise ordinance:
SUBSCRIBER PRIVACY NOTICE - Item # 3 states, "Unless you object,
from time to time, we'may disclose your name and address for mailing e
lists and othe. r purpo~es. We will not disclose the extent of your
viewing or use of a particular service or the nature of any
transaction you may mrke over the cable system, but we may disclose
that you are among those who subscribe to a particular service. If
you wish to remove yopr name from such lists or limit the use of your
name at any time, Ple~se contact us at the system office.p'
FRANCHISE ORDINANCEI - Section 13.03B states, "No information or
data obtained by monitoring transmission of a signal from a subscriber
terminal, or by any o~her means, including but not limited to, lists
of the names and addr~sses of such subscribers or any lists that
identify the viewing habits of subscribers shall be sold or otherwise
made available to anyl party other than the Grantee and its employees
for internal businessluse, and also to the subscriber subject of that
information, unless the Grantee has received specific written
authorization from the subscriber to make such data available.")

The point was brought out that subscribers are" not always aware when
these promotions will be shown or of their content. If the customer
does not already subscribe to that particular program they are unable
to lock it out. Beedle asked if subscribers could request not to
receive certain programming. Foukes replied that it might be a
possibility that the company could lock out programming if notified
to do so.
Ulrich questioned Foukes on the amount of the fee to be paid in
addition to the $11.90 special for HBO and Cinemax. Foukes confirmed
Ulrich's statement that it would be the amount of basic ($21.20, which
includes $1.25 local programming fee.)
UPDATE ON SALE OF COMPANY - Ulrich asked if the Central Valley
Commission received the same packet of information as the other
franchise .areas. Foukes replied that the Central Valley's was
customized in response to Ayotte's letter requesting specific
information. Foukes inquired when the Commission would be holding a
public hearing. Ulrich replied that Chairperson Bodlovick \ has
indicated that a date in November might be selected at the October
Commission meeting. Ulrich asked Foukes if there was a time table to
which Foukes replied, "Not really," but that the company would like to
see things progress in a timely manner.
ACCESS COORDINATOR REPORT - Lalime reported that even though all
arrangements had been made previously with the school district to
cablecast live any Stillwater home footballs, the school district was
now preventing any cablecasting or taping for replay of the games, as.'
they were afraid it might affect gate receipts. He continued that
they may still be able to do some soccer and baseball live. Ulrich ~
stated this could have resulted in an increase in subscribers.
Lalime said they are still broadcasting the audio of the football
games on channel 3.
Lalime reported that St. Michael's Church had successfully
cablecast their first church service, and that Trinity Lutheran is
purchasing a monitor and will be on live following st. Michael's
service when they are ready to go on.
He informed the Commission that a Producers Recognition Event will
be held on Thursday, September 26, 1991, at 7:00 p.m. in the Access
Center. A drawing will be held and one lucky producer will win a VCR.
COMMUNITY ACCESS CORPORATION REPORT Ulrich read a written
report submitted by Karen Wandmacher, who was unable to be present.
The report addressed the corporation's ongoing search for a way to
handle the copyright issue; the corporation's fee agreement with
Curtin & Barnes law firm; Wandmacher's presentation to area
non-profit organizations at the September 4th Davia meeting; the
corporation's finance committee meeting on September 17th; a complaint
to be filed in connection with missing camera; and, a proposal to MAP
to assist in the revision of the statement of compliance.
FIXMER HOURS/AUGUST 1991 - MOTION by P. White, seconded by Kern,
to pay Don Fixmer for hours of service performed in August 1991 as
presented. All in favor.
Discussion followed regarding channel 3 being off and the inability
to go out live at the last Bayport Council meeting. Aderman reported
that the producers felt it was a problem with the I-Net in Bayport,
and that Fixmer was in contact with the cable company. Foukes said he
was unaware of problem.

SET MEETING DATE FOR EVALUATION OF ATTORNEYS RESPONSES - Ulrich
reported that South washington uses Tom Creighton and requested that
the administrative secretary survey the situation to see if it would
I
benefit the Central ~alley Commission to use the same attorney.
Foukes stated that Hastings, River Falls and the Northwest system is
using Adrian Herbst. The administrative secretary is to check the
progress of the tr~nsfer of ownership with Finnerty and Raynor and
request Margo Coyle td start inventory of files and materials to be

MINUTES
UNAPPROVED
CALL TO ORDER
A special meeting of the Joint Cable Commission was called to order by
Vice Chairperson Jaclyn Ulrich at 7:00 p.m. in Stillwater Cith Hall,
216 North Fourth Street, Stillwater, Minnesota.
ROLL CALL
PRESENT: Commissioners Jaclyn Ulrich, Douglas Beedle, Tom Cole,
Eugene White and Phyllis White.
ABSENT: Commissioners Ann Bodlovick, Jack Doerr, Dean Kern and Mary
Kreimer-Adrian.
ALSO PRESENT: Marilyn Richert
Vice Chairperson Ulrich stated that the main purpose for
this meeting was to select an attorney or attorneys to represent the
Commission.
Proposals were received from David Magnuson of Magnuson
and Moberg, Charles LeFevere of Holmes and Graven, Tom Creighton of
Bernick and Lifson and Adrian Herbst of Moss and Barnett. These
proposals were distributed to Commissioners at the September 18, 1991,
meeting for review prior to tonight's meeting.
The administrative secretary briefed Commissioners on her
conversations with Tim Finnerty, Cable Administrator for South
Washington County Cable Commission, who retains Tom Creighton, and
Christine Raynor, Cable Admininstrator for the City of Hastings, who
retains Adrian Herbst, as their legal representatives. Both attorneys
were highly regarded by their respective cable administrators.
Cole asked how much concern there was regarding the dollar amount.
Ulrich stated that transfer-related expenses would be picked by up the
new company. Cole reported that he had had one experience with the
law firm of Moss & Barnett and was very impressed with them. He
commented on the full service that they have to offer and said he
would tend to lean towards selecting them to represent the Commission.
Beedle said cost should not be a factor. He would recommend
retaining a qualified attorney and felt either creighton or Herbst,
having the most cable knowledge, should be considered for the position.
Eugene White said that he had initially chosen Creighton, but it
appeared that Moss & Barnett may have a greater selection of
litigators to choose from.
Ulrich said that the question had been proposed to her if an
attorney representing a larger system might be more inclined to
consider that system's welfare over that of a smaller system, if for
example, their franchise ordinances differed. It was pointed out that
in addition to some larger systems, Herbst also handles some smaller
systems, such as Hastings, Minnesota, and River Falls, Wisconsin.
Chairperson Ann Bodlovick was unable to be present at the
meeting, as she was attending seminars for the League of Minnesota
Cities. Jack Doerr and Dean Kern were attending a workshop for the
City of Oak Park Heights, which was scheduled after the meeting date
of September 30th had been affirmed by the Commission.

Phyllis White pointed out that the Commission could possibly work
with Herbst's associate, Brian Grogan, on some issues, which would be
a cost-saving factor.
After considerabl~ deliberation the consensus of the Commission
was to retain only on~ firm to handle cable matters, transfer of
ownership and litigatipn. MOTION was made by Eugene White, seconded
by Tom Cole, to retai~ Adrian Herbst of Moss & Barnett to represent
the Joint Cable commis~ion and to seek his recommendation of a
litigator to handle th~ lawsuit. All in favor.
Discussion fOllowbd regarding the transfer of ownership. Richert.
will send a letter to ~riggs & Morgan immediately to request the
release of Mark Ayotte,' s files to Adrian Herbst.
Ulrich requested ithat Commissioners be thinking of issues, needs
and questions that Should be addressed prior to the transfer of
ownership, such as rel~ase of escrowed funds to the Commission, years
five and eight allocatlions of funds for equipment, etc., the
subscriber privacy notice, which will be referred to the new attorney,
etc. She requested th~t those Commissioners who had binders from the
last transfer of ownerphip review those materials. It should be
pointed out to Herbst ~that no arrangement has been made for receiving
money for transfer-reI ted expenses up front, and that without that
provision the Commissi; n cannot proceed any further. The company
would like to see a ca~ put on this amount, rather than "all costs
and expenses incurred ~n or associated with the request for approval
and'transfer within th~rty (30) days of receipt of an invoice from the
Commission for said expenses," as requested in Mark Ayotte's letter of
June 27, 1991. This, along with other items requested in Ayotte's
letter, will be addressed to 'Herbst.

RE: Annexation of
Minnesota Transportation Museum Tracks
Dear Mayor and Councilmembers:
I am legal counsel for stillwater Township. At its meeting on
October 10, 1991, the Town Board discussed the Minnesota Transpor-
tation Museum's proposal that the City annex a five mile swath
through stillwater and Grant Township. The sole purpose for this
proposal is to effectively repeal the County's ordinance regulating
the railroad. In return, the railroad has reportedly promised the
City gold in the form of taxes.
The Town Board urges you to reject this draconian proposal:
. The Countyls ordinance protects the welfare of the
residents in the vicinity of the tracks. Don't let the
railroad buy the right to be a public nuisance.
. The annexation would divide stillwater Township in two.
. The annexation would be unlawful. The track is not urban or
suburban in character and is not about to become so. The
Township will defend itself.
It takes only a minute to adopt an ordinance, but it is a
decision that will create turmoil for years. Representatives of the
~~,

Explaining net levies on tax notices
'!ruth in taxation notices doesn't include state aid cuts
e
The more dependent a city is on
state aid, the greater the increase in net
levy which will appear on their notice
of proposed property taxes and posted
or published advertisements.
lbrough an interpretation of the
1991 law changes concerning the truth
in taxation requirements, the Depart-
ment of Revenue is requiring the
generic mailed notices and published
or posted newspaper advertisements to
reflect cities' net levies. Last year,
these notices provided gross, or
certified levies, prior to reductions for
state paid aid or credits.
The revised notice, shows the
city's proposed levy minus homestead
and agriculture credit aid (HACA) and
equalization aid. (Because of the
method of calculating disparity
reduction aid, it will not be included in
the calculation of net levy. Taxpayers
will, however, see their net property
taxes decrease below the net levy
calculation in areas which receive this
aid.)
The calculation, however, does
not indicate the amount that state aid
to cities was cut from 1992 distribu-
tions. The law gave cities under the
overall levy limits (over 2,500 popula-
tion or receiving taconite aid) specific
authority to levy to make up for the
calendar year 1992 aid cuts. (Most
other cities were also able to levy for
lost aid under the various levy limits
which apply.) Even where cities levied
for lost aid, their spending base
(excluding special levies) for 1992
e
would not increase under these levy
limits. General levies for next year
were not allowed growth for popula-
tion or household increases, or for
general inflation costs.
Taxpayers, therefore, are likely to
see the net property tax levy on their
property increase without an explana-
tion that a portion of the increase is
due to reduced state aids.
In addition, the notice will show
an overall percent increase of net taxes
from 1991 to 1992. Such a calculation
needs further explanation in light of
the class rates which are applied to
different types of property. For
example, a single family home valued
at $70,000 has a class rate of one
percent, a $70,000 commercial
establishment is taxed at a class rate of
3.1 percent. Any increased tax burden
on the property within the city will
affect different types of properties
differently.
The proposed tax notice which
cities have to publish in the newspaper
or post in the community (depending
on the population of the city) may not
be altered from the prototype, accord-
ing to the Department of Revenue.
The mailed notices county auditors
generate will also, in most cases, not
include any additional information or
further explanation. These are the two
primary sources of information that
taxpayers will receive through the
truth in taxation process.
See net levy page 3
State auditor asks for local salary information
The local government pay issue has surfaced again at the State Capital, this
time in the form of a study being conducted by the Office of the State Auditor.
Mter failing in an attempt to freeze the salaries of top local government officials
last session, the Legislature directed the state auditor to study the salaries of
positions subject to the political subdivision salary limit.h
Cities should have received the survey last week, and are being asked to
supply detailed information about the salaries of individuals who receive more
than $50,000 in pay annually. The League worked with the State Auditor's
Office in developing the survey, and will continue to work as the survey results
are tabulated and analyzed.
When completing the survey, cities should pay close attention to the
reporting of actual hours worked. A 40 bour work week is not the norm for all
job classes, and incorrect reporting may influence the survey results. TB

Action alert: police bill of rights
e
Last week the House Judiciary
Committee voted to oppose adding the
police bill of rights (HR 2946) to the
House version of the omnibus anti-
crime legislation. The League
encourages city officials to urge their
member in the U.S. House of Repre-
sentatives to oppose any amendment to
add this legislation on the House floor.
We expect the House to take
action on the omnibus crime control
act on Tuesday, October 15.
Rep. Campbell, author of HR
2946, attempted to add the police bill
of rights to the omnibus anti-violent
crime act (HR 3371). House Judiciary
Committee members voted 24-10 to
defeat that amendment.
The police bill of rights proposal
would preemptlocal authority in
policies governing internal investiga-
tions and discipline for police depart-
ments.
Instead, members voted to support
a proposal calling for a national study
of police internal non-criminal
investigative procedures. The U.S.
attorney general would conduct the
investigation.
Rep. Ramstad, a co-sponsor of HR
2946, first opposed the amendment
calling for the study, but then changed
his vote to support it.
We urge city officials to contact
the leadership of the U.S. House of
Representatives to urge them to
oppose including a police officers bill
of rights in the anti-crime bill.
If the police bill of rights does get
added to the anti-crime bill, we ask
city officials to contact both Sen.
Durenberger and Sen. Wellstone. City
officials should request the senators to
contact Sen. Joseph Biden. author of
the Senate anti-crime bill, and Senate
members of the conference committee
to oppose police bill of rigbts provi-
sions.
Many Senators wbo voted last
summer for the provisions in the
Senate anti-crime package were not
aware of the far-reacbing implications
of the proposal. Many thougbt they
were supporting local police officers
on what was posed as a labor issue.
We encourage city officials to tell
their senators bow such federally
mandated restrictions would hamper
internal discipline and procedures for .
handling internal police investigations
of allegations of police misconduct.
Also, let local media know how these
provisions would impede the effective
management of the city police depart-
ment and threaten a loss of public
confidence and respect for local law
enforcement agencies.
Senators Durenberger and
Wellstone should be urged to support
adoption of the provisions calling for a
study and to communicate those views
to their colleagues who will serve on
the House-Senate conference commit-
tee on the anti-crime bill. AD
Net levy, continued from front page
e
In order to responsibly explain the
net levy changes, cities will bave to
develop their own methods of explain-
ing this complicated situation--either
before their bearing(s) or during them.
The League has been supportive
of this process of notices and bearings.
The required bearing(s) offers an
additional opportunity for council-
citizen discussion and input; and cities
hope the quality of these interchanges
doesn't deteriorate as a result of
incomplete and confusing information
being added to the process.
When cities are determining bow
they will handle the notice and bearing
process this year, they may want to
consider including the following
information in any explanation of the
situation to their taxpayers.
. The Legislature and governor
cut $38 million from cities during
cities' 1991 budget year. These cuts
occurred after cities had certified their
levies and could not be recouped by
taxes. Cities had to reduce budgets or
spend fund balances to deal with this
loss.
· The Legislature and governor
cut $42 million from cities for the
1992 budget year. They gave cities
authority to raise property tax levies
to make up for this cut. Depending on
whether or not the city does levy for
this lost revenue, many cities will see
substantial increases in their property
tax levies.
· The early date for certifica-
tion of proposed levy may bave
required the city to overestimate its
levy needs.
· Levies may be rising due to
bonded debt for major capital pur-
chases or construction.
· Comparisons of city spend-
ing, vs. levy may also belp taxpayers
understand local government account-
ability.
The varying spending patterns and
needs of eacb city will determine bow
they can best educate their taxpayers
on these issues. Cities may want to
discuss this with each other for ideas
of further explanation and clarifica-
tion.

additional information on the impacts
of the net levy calculation.) SH

Report points out problems with mail ballot requirements
The City of Plymouth has done a
report on the September 3 mail ballot
election on whether to change the date
of the city election from odd to even
years.
Plymouth bas a 1990 population
of 51,000, with 34,007 registered
voters. It is the fIrst city in Hennepin
County to conduct an election by mail
ballot. The report shows that such
election methods are difficult and
labor intensive for larger cities.
The voter turnout was strong: 41
percent of registered voters cast their
ballots and determined that the City of
Plymouth will continue to hold city
elections in the odd year. But the cost
for conducting the election by mail
exceeded the cost of a regular election
at the polls.
Senate committee
to discuss
annexation
State Senator Betty Adkins, St.
Michael, Chair of the Senate Local
Government Committee, recently
announced that the committee will
hold a hearing on Tuesday, October
22, in Detroit Lakes.
The meeting will be held at the
Detroit Lakes City Hall in council
chambers from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00
p.m.
The committee will discuss
S.P. 1013, authored by Sen. Randy
Kelly, a proposal which relates to
transferring authority for incorpora-
tions, detachments, and annex-
ations to the Office of Administra-
tion hearings and the State Plan-
ning Agency, as well as providing a
single annexation procedure.
Future meetings may be
necessary to further discuss the
issue, said Adkins.
Election officials throughout the
state have concerns about difficulties
Plymouth and other cities have
encountered. As a result, the League
bas asked officials from the Minnesota
Clerks and Finance Officers Associa-
tion, members of the LMC Elections
and Ethics Committee, and election
officials to help resolve issues con-
cerning mail ballot elections.
The League will then make
recommendations for possible changes
in election requirements.
Concerns include:
· Cost of postage;
· Sufficient time for ballot printing,
mailing, and publication require-
ments;
· Logging in of returned ballots to
make voter log available to the
public;
· Procedures to allow processing of
returned ballots on a daily basis;
· Instruction regarding importance
of signature and wibless to avoid
ineffective balloting;
e
· Alerting voters about deadline for
mailing returned ballots;
· Precinct identifIcation on outside
of ballot envelopes;
· Infeasibility of resbictions on
accepting and rejecting ballots;
· Staffing needs to process mailing,
voter questions, and election day
returns;
· Uniform process for accepting and
rejecting ballots;
· Ballot tracking systems and
summary sheets;
· Obtaining election judges to
process and count ballots.
If you are interested in participat-
ing in these discussions, please contact
Ann Higgins at the League, (612) 227-
5600.
Options for meetings are October
17, 18,24, or 25, and at meeting times
are 9:30 a.m., noon, or 3:00 p.m. A

concern about this issue. Scheid was
planning to urge the Legislature to
reimburse local governments for the
cost of the 1992 presidential primary.
Some members of the House Elections
Division are still committed to that,
and a number of legislators support a
repeal the law establishing the primary
(Chapter 207 A).
Please contact your locallegisla-
tors to fmd out if they support full
state funding of the cost of the
presidential primary.
The estimated cost for cities will
average 45 cents per capita; total costs
statewide are probably between $4 and
5 million.) Contact Ann Higgins at the
League about your legislators'
positions. AH
e
The League urges city officials to
talk with local lawmakers about the
costs and other difficulties cities face
in conducting the presidential primary
on April 7, 1992. The League supports
using state revenues to fund the
primary since it is not an actual
election but rather a political party
activity. Local officials object to
funding the primary from local
operating budgets.
The League needs your help in
determining the extent of legislative
support for funding the April 7 primary
at the state level.

Rep. Linda Scheid, chair of the House
Elections Division, will resign from

Cities comply with Americans with disabilities
act beginning in January
e
All cities must comply with new
rules implementing the Americans
with disabilities act (ADA). There is
no phase-in for smaller cities or cities
with small numbers of employees.
Instead, cities must assure the
protection of the civil rights of people
with disabilities in the areas of
employment, governmental services,
and activities.
Failure to comply with the law is
costly. The ADA imposes civil
penalties of up to $50,000 for a flfst
violation to a maximum of $100,000
for subsequent violations as well as
costs of litigation, including attorney's
fees.
Beginning ,January 26, 1992, cities
must begin ev~uating services,
programs, acti~ities, policies, proce-
dures, and pracUces (particularly
employment and personnel practices)
to assure that they meet new require-
ments. Cities must complete the
process within. a year--no later than
January 26, 1993. The process requires
a period of public comment.
After January 26, 1992, cities
must provide to' any interested person
information describing how the
cityapplies the rules for nondiscrimi-
nation on the basis of disability for
services, programs, or activities.
The city must also be prepared to
inform individuals of ADA protections
afforded to them against discrimina-
tion on the basis of disability.
For facilities and buildings, cities
must assure that disabled people have
access to those locations as soon as
practicable--no later than March 26,
1992 if cities can achieve access
through non-structural changes. If
access requires structural changes,
those modifications must be complete
no later than January 26, 1995. New
construction or alterations that cities
begin after January 26, 1992 must
meet all ADA guidelines which apply.
e
Cities with 50 or more employees
must also designate at least one
employee to coordinate and carry out
compliance activities and adopt and
publish a grievance procedure. No
later than July 26, 1992, cities must
develop and adopt a transition plan to
establish actions they will take to
comply with ADA requirements.
Those transition plans are also subject
to a period of public comment

Committee votes not to increase gas tax
Last week the House Public Works
and Transportation Committee (on
which Rep. Oberstar is a senior
member) revised its proposal for
reauthorizing the federal surface
transportation assistance act. The new
proposal removes provisions calling
for an increase in the federal gas tax
and adds substantial increases in
funding for public transportation.
City officials hope that a House-
Senate agreement will produce added
funding for transit for both large and
small cities. The House bill would
provide for a doubling of Section 18
funds for rural transit programs.
e
NLC encourages city officials to
contact House members to support the
House Public Works Committee
agreement on reauthorization of
transportation programs and spending
levels for public transportation.AH

An extension of the deadline for

Land Management Information Center offers
redistricting service
In an effort to assist local government
units in meeting the requirement to
redistrict political boundaries, the
State of Minnesota's Land
Management Information Center
(LMIC) is offering a series of mapping
products and services.
The first option is a base map showing
the 1990 census geography of blocks,
tracts, precincts, and minor civil
divisions. This option would allow
your staff to apply the population
numbers on the sample tabular forms
with the base map. By manually
adding population counts, you can
establish districts that have balanced
population and confirm to the new
legislative districts.
e
The second option is a computer-aided
service that might be more effective
for larger, complex counties or cities.
This computer service allows you to
construct districts by looking at the
map on a monitor rather than adding
population counts manually. LMIC
would bring the necessary computer
equipment and staff to your office to
assist you in redistricting.
We hope that the availability of these
products and services will assist in
meeting the requirements of local
redistricting. Prices for counties and
individual cities range from $300 to
$900, depending on the number of
map sheets. Please call LMIC at (612)
296-1211 for additional information or
a specific price quote.
Special announcement:
Asbestos management
In view of the enormous
financial strain and effort already
expended to remove asbestos, the
American Medical Association
recently announced that it would be
more reasonable to learn to live
with asbestos safely than to try to
remove it.
Estimates show that it may cost
$3.4 billion to clean up public
elementary and secondary school
buildings nationally. Costs could
climb to $150 billion for additional
public and commercial buildings.
The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency has been urged
to set forth clear guidelines for safe
management of abestos that is
already in place.
(This announcement was
printed in the September/October
1991 issue of the Housing Journal,
published by NAHRO.)

State environmental regulators meet
to tackle scrap tire management issues
e
Over 135 state environmental
regulators, legislators, recyclers, and
tire industry leaders met for a ftrst-
ever educational seminar examining
recycling, energy recovery, and other
environmentally sound options for
managing the estimated 240 million
scrap tires generated in the U.S. each
year.
The seminar offered workshops to
those state and federal offIcials who
daily oversee scrap tire management
programs nationwide.
Topics and issues discussed
included air emissions for the combus-
tion of tires as a fuel, effective
regulatory programs for scrap tire
control, and stock pile clean up,
market development, and the outlook
for asphalt rubber.
The council also implemented a
survey of attending state regulators to
identify their views of the most
critical issues associated with scrap
tire management. Results of the survey
will be released in early October.
Taped seminar proceedings will be
made available shortly, and can be
obtained by writing the Scrap Tlfe
Management Council, 1400 K Street
N.W., Washington, D.C. 20005 or by
calling (202) 408-7781.
