FROM:
RE:
Variance Request for 1710 Peltier LaKe Drive
,...........................................................................
Tracy and Kathryn Tratar, property owners of 1710 Peltier Lake Drive, are requesting
that they be granted a variance of 11 feet in order to construct an attached two-car garage.
This residential lot is a comer lot and as such under the current Ordinance #4, is required
to adhere to the 35-foot front yard setbacks for each side of the' lot that abuts a street.
Because of this requirement, Mr. and Mrs. Tratar are precluded from building an attached
two-car garage to their principal structure. They appeared before the Planning and
Zoning Commission and requested that the Commission recommend to the City Colincil
that Ordinance #4 be amended to require only one front yard setback on a comer lot.
Because revising ordinances is an arduous and lengthIy process, the Tratars have decided
to apply for a variance so that if approved, they might build their attached garage during
the current building season.
ANALYSIS
In considering this request, the Planning and Zoning must review an application for
variance using the following criteria:
1. Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical
conditions of the parcel or lot, the proposed variance would relieve an undue
hardship, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience, shonld the applicable
ordinance be strictly enforced.
This criterion applies to the Tratars in that they own a corner lot, The shape of
their lot prevents them from building an attached garage to their single-family
structure. Granting an 11-100t variance would relieve an undue hardship in that
they are not currently able to have a two-car garage as a part of their principal
structure.
2. The purpose of the proposed variance is not based exclusively upon a desire to
increase the value or income potential of the parcel ofland, but would correct
~
h
extraordinary circumstances applicable to this property but not applicable to
other property in the vicinity or zoning district.
The Tratars are interested in building a two-car garage for the storage of their
vehicles and to conform to the surrounding properties as well as the Ordinance.
Ordinance #4, Division 40: Sinf!le Familv DweUine Requirements states that all
single family, detached dwellings shall be constructed according to the following
minimum standards: "e. All single-family, detached dwellings shall have
attached garages. " (p. 22 of 77) Any increase in property value would be
secondary and as a consequence of improving their property.
3. The hardship is deemed to be caused by the City Ordinance and has not been
created by any persons presently having an interest in the parcel.ofland.
The hardship that the Tratars are trying to address by their variance request was
caused by the City's Ordinance requirements for corner lots. Corner lots are
required to have front yard setbacks for each side of the lot that abuts a street.
(!l.ivision 120: Yards Section 120-010: General Requirements.;B. Lots which
abut on more than one (1) street shall provide the required front yards along
each street P. 43 of 77) Front yard setbacks are set at 35 feet and as such corner
lots must have a front yard setback 35 fiet for each side of the lot that abuts a
street. In viewing the Tratar's site drawing, they are not able to get an attached
two-car garage built onto their home if they are required to adhere to the corner
setback requirements.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning vote to recommend to the City Council
that the II-foot variance be granted to the Tratars for the construction of a two-car
garage.

Description of Request:
Request variance of II' feet to comer lot setback requirements of 3 5' from each street .
right of way. vt (
Reason for Request:
1. With current set back requirements a usable two car attached addition cannot be
feasibly be built on our property. We have looked into turning garage to face
Centerville Road and feel that a variance would still be required. With setbacks
of35' from streets and 10' from side and back lots, we can only use less than 38
% of our lot without a variance.
2. All other properties in area have a minimum of a two-car garagt;. We feel that by
granting this variance, a two-car addition facing the front of property would best
conform to other houses in the area.
3. Other corner lots nearby have been granted variances that are.even more than
what we are requesting. (See attached)
4. By grantingtbis 11' variance from the side street (Centerville Rd), we feel that it
would not impair or diminish surrounding area. Proposed addition would be 85
feet from the back yard neighbor. Peltier Lake Drive has a stop sign at
Centerville Road and Centerville Road has a sharp turn approximately 100 feet
from comer. So traffic has to stop or slow down significantly while approaching
this corner.
Respectfully Submitted,
Tracy and Kathy Tratar

Please note that these are comer lots with attached lots and mainly in the area which we Jive. We did not
measure those comers that are near downtown area since these are older homes and obviousiy ctoserthan
the setbacks that we are seeking.
We also did not measure the new duplexes located where the tree lot used 10 be. Those properties are well
short of the 35' setback required by R-2 zoning. Why can these homes have such less setbacks from street?
All we are trying to do is build toward the side street in the same manner as our neighbor across the street
from us and to the east (comer) of us. Most of the comer homes in our immediale area that are as old as OulS
are ctoserto the side street than we seek In build.
We are asking the Cententille city council along with planning and zoning commission to either 1) change
current setback oldlnances In bring mast nfthe abnve homes within compliance and allow us to alS(} build In
these standards or 2) advise us on how to build in the same manner that my nearby neighbors have.
We believe that adjusting the side street setback fora prime structure to 20' will not adversely affecl
appearance of any neighborhood within Cententille.
Sincerely,
Tracy Tratar

City of Centerville,
We favor the variance to allow Mr. & Mrs. Tracy Tratar, 1710 Peltier Lake Drive to build
a two car attached addition to the existing principle structure. We think they would
benefit from the garage and we also think the community would be enhanced.
Thank you.

2. Senator Michele Bachmann
Senator Bachmann addressed Council and explained that Centerville had been moved
into her district with the recent shifting of district lines. She then invited Council and any
residents to contact her at any time with any issues they may have.
3. Mr. Llovd Drilling
Mr. Drilling addressed Council and indicated he may need to lower the berm by one foot
to aid in drainage.
Mr. Peterson asked if Mr. Drilling would be able to get the lot to drain in the east west
direction. Mr. Drilling indicated he was going to try to do so by constructing a swale that
would help the water flow toward the catch basin. He also indicated he had been
discussing the matter with the neighbor and may have to fill in the neighbor's yard a bit
to get the water to flow to the catch basin.
Council Member Capra asked whether Council approval was needed for a change in the
plans. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that Council did not need to provide approval as
Mr. Drilling is working with City Staff on the matter.
Council Member Capra asked how Mr. Drilling intended to accommodate the water from
Mr. Engler's yard due to the flat elevation. Mr. Drilling indicated the original plan had
his water flowing west. He then said he would take care of Mr. Engler's water problem.
Council Member Capra asked if fixing Mr. Engler's yard would affect drainage on the
yard north of him. Mr. Drilling indicated the swale would be designed to flow west to
the catch basin.
Mr. Jerry Engler of 7127 Shad Avenue indicated he had been discussing the matter with
Mr. Drilling and said that Mr. Drilling was to inform him when this matter was on
Council's agenda. He then explained that other residents in the area do not want the
grade of the berm lowered because the intent of the berm with a fence on it was to screen
the view of the building from the neighborhood. He further said he would like to see a
ditch behind the building to push the water to the catch basin.
Mr. Engler indicated he needed the comer stake put back in because he does not know
where his property line is without it. He then said he wants to make sure that his yard is
returned to its previous state. He further commented he felt Mr. Drilling was trying to
pull a fast one by not telling him about the meeting.
Mr. Peterson commented that the property is very flat and trying to get a decent grade
with a ditch behind it to get the water to flow to the catch basin may be difficult.

Council Member Capra suggested Mr. Engler, Mr. Drilling and City Engineer Peterson
meet to discuss the drainage issue. All parties agreed to sit down and work out the
drainage issues.
Mr. Engler asked Council to look into the light at the video store because it is too bright
and shines in his bedroom window. He said he would like to have it turned off.
Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated she and Mr. Palzer would look into the matter.
Mr. Drilling said he was not trying to pull a fast one but wanted to run this proposal past
Council and Eagle Trucking before presenting it as an option to Mr. Engler. He then said
he could leave the berm there and is not planning on removing the fence but may need to
lower the grade some to achieve the proper drainage.
4. Emmons & Olivier Resources/Rice Creek Watershed District
Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that Emmons & Olivier would not be able to attend the
meeting and had asked to be able to address Council during a work session.
Council agreed to invite Emmons & Olivier to the upcoming joint work session with the
Planning and Zoning Commission.
5. Mr. Dean Havel. Bald Eagle Water-Ski Club
Mayor Swedberg asked if it were necessary for Mr. Havel to appear before Council every
year for the permit. Mr. Havel indicated that the Sheriffs Department wants him to
appear before Council every year in the event there may be some complaints about the
ski jump.
Motion bv Mavor Swedben!. seconded by Council Member Capra to approve the
permit for Bald Eal!le Water-Ski Club for a water-ski iump as reQuested. All in
favor. Motion carried.
6. Ms. Amv Countryman
Ms. Cindy Borr addressed Council and provided information on the upcoming American
Cancer Society - Centennial Area Relay. She then told a heartwarming story about
"pennies from heaven" and handed out a penny to each Council Member and those in the
audience.
Council asked that the information concerning the American Cancer Society - Centennial
Area Relay be placed on the cable channel.

City Council Meeting Minutes
April 24, 2002
Ms. Kathy Peil, 1859 - 73rd Street, addressed Council and asked that the City keep the
charitable gambling account open until the Lions are able to set up the 50lc3 foundation
to be able to receive funds from the Spring Lake Park Lions.
Council Member Travis indicated there is more to the situation than a simple request to
leave the account open.
Council Member Capra indicated she has concerns with regard to the discussion at the
last meeting because it sounded as if the City was laundering money from one Lions Club
to the other and the Minnesota Gambling Control Board agreed. She then said she would
like to have the funds designated as park and recreation funds and have the Lions work
with the Park and Recreation Committee to come up with a recommendation for Council
approval. She also indicated the ordinance needed to be revised.
Ms. Peil indicated the Lions have to empty out their accounts every year and the City
risks losing the $6,000 that has accumulated ifthere is no place to hold it.
Council Member Nelson commented that the City has not approved building the
structure.
Ms. Peil indicated that the Lions intend to go to the next Parks and Recreation Conunittee
meeting to meet with them and discuss what type of structure they would like to see.
Council Member Nelson read a sentence from the information provided by the Gambling
Control Board which indicates that the City should not be given funds for the purpose of
passing those funds along to an organization that the first party could not have legally
contributed to.
Ms. Peil indicated the City could hold the 10% but should use the 40% for the intent of
the donation. She then indicated the intent for those funds was to build a structure and
that is why the fund was set up to allow the funds to accumulate.
Council Member Nelson indicated she did not have a problem with holding the funds for
the Parks and Recreation Conunittee to use but she cautioned the Lions that the Parks and
Recreation Committee is an advisory board and Council would have the ultimate say as
to what the funds are used for.
Ms. Peil indicated the structure was dependent upon whether or not enough funds could
be accumulated. She then said that the City would lose the $6,000 if it is not accepted by
June 30, 2002.
Council Member Capra indicated she would like to see the ordinance revised to allow for
the 10% and would like to see the Parks and Recreation Committee request those funds.
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she would like to give the funds to the
50lc3 as previously discussed and amend the ordinance. Council Member Capra
Page 4 of 11
City of CentervilJe
City Council Meeting Minutes
April 24, 2002
indicated she has a problem with the City doing that especially in light of the fact that the
City is under scrutiny from the state with regard to the TIF situation and deferred compo
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated the City is allowed to donate to a 501c3.
Council Member Capra indicated the City has a policy of not donating to any
organizations.
Ms. Peil indicated the Lions are in the process of establishing the 50lc3 but said she is
not sure how long that will take and does not want the City to lose the $6,000.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated it would be most appropriate to have Council designate the
funds to be used for park and recreation with the ultimate decision as to how those funds
are used resting with Council.
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she felt the Lions were asking to find out
whether the City is interested in spending the funds on a structure for LaMotte Park. She
further commented the Lions are interested in knowing if the Council would vote to
approve use of the funds to back grant proposals in an attempt to obtain further funds to
build the structure.
City Attorney Hoeft cautioned the Lions that a consensus of Council is not the same as a
vote of Council and does not give any authority other than a representation of the
Members' thoughts.
Council Member Nelson indicated she would not vote for a concession stand at LaMotte
Park but said she would vote for some kind of area in any of the parks for picnic tables
and a place to cook food.
Council Member Capra indicated she was not opposed to renovations of the current
concession area and said she would like to see a platform with a roof over it and picnic
tables.
Ms. Peil asked what part of the ordinance would be changed. Council Member Capra
indicated the trade area would be changed and the ordinance would require 10% of the
profits go to the City.
City Attorney Hoeft clarified that the City's current ordinance says that up to 50% of the
profits should come to the trade area. He also clarified that the ordinance is not in
violation of state statute but simply does not address the City receiving 10%. He then
suggested that, if the City wishes to have the 10% coming in to the City, the ordinance
should be changed to reflect that.
It was the consent of Council that the ordinance should be amended to reflect the 10%
requirement.

Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she would support a Parks and Recreation
Committee recommendation for use of the funds.
Council Member Travis indicated he would support a Park and Recreation Committee
recommendation for use of the funds.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated the City may want to accept the $6,000 from the Spring
Lake Park Lions if the Centerville Lions do not have the SOIc3 foundation up and
running prior to the June 30, 2002 deadline.
Council Member Capra asked whether the Spring Lake Park Lions have the right to deny
requests for funds.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated the organization has the right to deny any request it wishes
to.
Carla DeVine addressed Council and indicated she was there to clear up the confusion
with regard to a motion made at the Parks and Recreation Committee meeting. She then
explained that Parks and Recreation had made a motion to recommend Council approval
for the Lions to run concessions during Little League games.
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she had said it wrong at the last Council
Meeting and Parks and Recreation had not approved the concessions, it was a
recommendation to Council for approval.
Ms. Peil indicated they would be using all packaged goods and would not be cooking.
Council Member Capra recommended the Lions Branch check with the Anoka County
Health Department because there may be some requirements.
Ms. Peil agreed to look into it.
Motion by Conncil Member Broussard Vickers. seconded bv Council Member
Travis to allow the Lions Branch to sell concessions continl!:ent on approval from the
Anoka County Health Department.
Council Member Nelson said she would like to add that the approval is contingent upon
the approval of the Anoka County Health Department.
Council Members Broussard Vickers and Travis consented to the addition.
Council Member Capra asked who would be responsible for opening and locking the
building. Ms. Peil indicated she intended to request a key for the concession season.
Ms. DeVine asked whether Council had a copy of the motion made by Parks and
Recreation. Council indicated it did not.

SUBJECT: PEIP Health Insurance Renewal (June, 2002)
DATE: May 3, 2002
Attached, please find Exhibit A and B of the PEIP health insurance renewal
documentation. Currently, all staff members tllat are participating in this insurance plan
take Health Partners and are participating at the Family level of coverage.
The City's current monthly insurance allotment is $406 for fumily coverage. If you will
remember, this item was discussed at some length during the budget process and was to
be considered prior to renewal and when figures became available. The figures contained
in the 2002 budget for the line item health insurance were $500/month per employee.
The City has chosen not to increase its monthly allotment for approximately two (2) years
with insurance premiums consistently increasing. In the year 2001 staff members were
paying approximately 30% of their health insurance premium with the City contributing
approximately 70%.
If the City were to approve the budgeted monthly allotment of $500 per month, staff
members would pay approximately 27% and the City would contribute approximately
73%. If the City desires not to increase the monthly allotment, staff members would pay
approximately 40% and the City's contribution approximately 60%.

Temporary Signs
FROM:
RE:
....-.......................................................................
BACKGROUND
The City created a sign ordinance that became effective on May 1, 2001 to regulate the
signs in Centerville. Recently, Councilmember Nelson has received several calls
regarding the portable signs at Corner Express, Preferred Auto and Trio Inn and asked
about the requirements of the City's sign ordinance. I advised Ms. Nelson that according
to Ordinance 39, portable signs could be up for 14 days before they are required to be
taken down. We also discussed having letters sent to these businesses once the 14 days
were up.
In discussing this issue with Staff; I was told that the Comer Express sign has been on the
comer for more than ten years and that they thought the sign was probably 'grandfathered
in". Councilmember Nelson called again to advise me that she had received more phone
calls and asked if I would get the consensus of the other Councilmembers regarding the
temporary signs in Centerville. In discussing the issue with the Mayor, I was asked to put
this issue on the upcoming Council agenda
Upon further research of the Ordinance, there are a few items regarding this matter that I
want to bring to the Council's attention:
I) It is true that portable signs are considered temporary signs and as such, are
allowed to be displayed for 14 days with a permit.
2) The current sign ordinance has been in effect since May 1, 2001. From the
discussions I had with Staff and later, Councilmember Broussard Vickers, I
learned that the signs in question were in place prior to Ordinance 39
becoming effective. Paul Pa1zer, Public Works Director, has indicated that
although the sign at Preferred Auto has been in place for a number of years, it
is not on the owner's property and that the City could require that that sign be
removed.
3) Division 45: Non-Conforminf! Sif!ns; Section 045-020: Legal, Non-
Conforming Signs does allow for existing signs as of the adoption date to be
'.
,
considered legal, non-conforming signs and can remain until a.) the sign is
structurally altered (except for normal maintenance) in a way that makes the
sign less in compliance with this ordinance than it was before the alteration;
b.) the sign is relocated to a position making it less in compliance with this
ordinance than it was befure the relocation; c.) the sign is replaced; and d.)
any new primary sign is erected or placed in connection with the enterprise
using the legal non-conforming sign (page 10 of 11).

SUBJECT: Parks and Recreation Committee Recommendations
DATE: May 3, 2002
The Parks and Recreation Committee made the following recommendations for Council
consideration at their most recent meeting of May 1, 2002~-
Motion made by Committee Member Walter, seconded by Committee Member Lee to
recommend to Council the enclosure of two (2) satellites currently located at Acom
Creek Park and Tracy McBride Memorial Park. The enclosures would be constructed
with green treated wood. The Acom Creek Park enclosure would include a cement,
handicapped accessible path/approach from the street. The enclosure projects will not
exceed a total of$I,OOO.
With the construction of these enclosures the Parks and Recreation Committee hopes to
alleviate the complaints that these satellites have caused in the past.
The Parks and Recreation Committee does not intend on enclosing the satellite at Laurie
LaMotte Memorial Park due to the relocation of same on an annual basis for special
events (Fete des Lacs, etc.). Eagle Park is sufficiently enclosed by a wooded area and
there will not be a satellite at Royal Meadows Park due to vanrlal;"", and destmction of
property occurring at this park.
Motion made by Committee Member LeBlanc, seconded by Committee Member Lee to
recommend to Council the hiring of Skate Park Attendants. The attendants will staff the
park between the hours of 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. seven (7) days a week. City Staffwill
determine and hire the appropriate amount of attendants, handle the hiring process and
supervise these part-time attendants. The hiring of attendants will not exceed $5,000 for
the 2002 skate park season.
The Parks and Recreation Committee also desires that Council requests addition.u police
patrol of the park when an attendant is not on duty.
Please find the attached Parks and Recreation volunteer brochure, the Committee requests
Council input on same. The Committee intends on placing these brochures at City Hall
and used as an infurmation tool and opportunity for residents to participate in their
community.

Tricia also wrote and
produced an
environmentai musical
for E-Community held
at the Mall of America,
where she co-starred
with Sesame Street's
ELMOTM
ELFISH says,
"RECYCLE ...
... and thank you

These interactive presentations give the
young ones an up-close forum where they
become clear of the difference EVERYONE
can make. The well-known phrase, "You're
either part of the solution or your part of the
problem", is delivered in an entertaining yet
direct fashion,
Some of the puppet characters are excellent
role models as they demonstrate a variety of
environmental practices. Other puppets throw
litter on the ground, put recyclables in the
trash rather than the recycle bin or know
nothing about reusing and reducing trash,
The students are always anxious to guide
these characters and share what they know.
Together with Tricia, they teach these
puppets, reinforcing the powerofTIlking
action and teamwork.
Many schools, community organizations and
corporations have written letters of praise and
recommendation. These references are
available for your review and further
consideration.
The Toonies can also tailor any presentation
around your particular message.
Perhaps you'd like to sponsor this educational
and fun-filled musical in your community
and/or school district. In doing so. you are
certain to be recognized once again as an
environmental leader. Together we make the
difference.
" The Toonies' greatest joy is contributing to
the positive growth development and of
today's children and their families. This is
evident in their nationally acclaimed cassette
tape, fabulous new video and in each and
every one of their delightful live
perfomnances.

Togeiher we leach Donster
about littering and the finer

SUBJECT: Purchase of One (1) Election Booth
DATE: May 3, 2002
I would like to purchase one (1) additional election booth for $175 for the upcoming
election. With the elections being held at the elel'oonta1y schoo I, not only will additional
space assist in the convenience of the process but one (I) additional booth would also
increase the speed of voting for residents.
Attached, please find the Election department budgeted figures. I would suggest that an
amendment to the 2002 line item budget be completed to transfer the $175 from
Advertising and Printing to Other Equipment to cover this item.

RE: Payment Method Survey Results
............................................................................
Attached are the results of the survey that Staff included in the last utility billing. The
City had had a request from a resident to have an electronic bill payment system available
to residents who do not want to mail or come into to City Hall with their payments for
City services.
As you can see, the results indicate that generally, there is very little support for the City
to have an electronic payment system available to residents. Staff will send a copy of
these results to those residents who were interested in being able to pay their bills
electronically.

About eConnect
About eConnect
. eConnect News
. Products and Services
Located in Southern California and
establisheclin 1997, eConnect is
positioned to become a leader in the
implementation of technologies, products
and services that enhance the manner in
which businesses and consumers benefit
from various forms of e-commerce.
This is the new eCashPad. The eCashpad is a full service Point of Sale (POS)
terminal that facilitates secure Internet transactions from the home. The
eCashPad enables consumers to shop, pay bills, and send money securely
over the Internet with a simple card swipe. The eCashPad can provide these
secure payments by implementing encryption technology and providing a
new transaction route for financial card information.
The new transaction route was designed to address and eliminate online
financial card hacking and to limit online fraudulent charge-backs. Many
online merchants are currently required to keep a record of your credit card
information for bookkeeping, potential returns, taxing, potential charge-
backs, and other technicalities associated with making an online sale. Storing
this information online is dangerous because their employees or third parties
can hack that information and misuse it.
The online financial card transaction is different then transactions that occur
at brick and mortar stores. The major differences are the presence of the
card, cardholder, and a paper receipt stating the terms of the sale. Terms of
sale generally include the store's policies for returned and damaged goods.
The above steps are taken by brick and mortar stores to well document the
transaction in the event of a return or dispute about the transaction. In the
event of a dispute, the store can reference the above information and
documentation to settle the dispute.
Online transactions are not currently capable of implementing these physical
steps into a transaction. Therefore disputed transactions are harder to
resolve. A consumer can claim that they were over billed, billed twice, or did
not initiate a transaction at all. In addition, consumers can claim that the

are hard for merchants to dispute and lead to a high incidence of successful

The higher incidences of charge-backs and online theft force credit card
processing companies to charge a higher percentage rate per transaction to
online merchants. These costs are often passed on to the consumer through
higher prices.
eConnect's Payment Solution
eConnect has developed the eCashPad and a new transaction route for online
financial card transactions to address the above problems online merchants
and consumers are experiencing. The eConnect hardware and transaction
route will allow consumers to swipe their cards as they would at a brick and
mortar store. This means that they will physically need to have their card
present to participate in a transaction. The swiped information will travel to
the payment gateway for processing and authorization. The merchant
accepting the eConnect transactionwllLreceive the approval code and
shipping information. The merchant will not receive any financial card
information, that information is only seen by the consumer's bank
eliminating the possibility of hacking, eConnect calls this type of transaction
Bank Eyes Only"". The swiped card will also make fraud and charge-backs
more difficult because one can not claim that someone stole their credit card
information.
The eCashPad and the Bank Eyes Only"" transaction route will greatly reduce
online fraud and card processing rates for merchants and consumers. It will
serve as a secure and financially beneficial alternative for everyone sending
and receiving money over the Internet.
You can presently purchase the eCashPad for $59.95 though the eConnect
website or online store. The eCashPad is now being used succeSSfully
worldwide by a limited number of consumers at our eConnect store. You can
visit our online store by clickino here.
Key Benefits to the Merchant utilizing the Bank Eyes Only"" System:
1. Increased sales
2. New customers
3. Reduced charge-backs - fewer disputed transactions
4. Lower discount rates from merchant acquiring bank (due to card
present transactions - same as retail stores)
5. No longer a risk of hackers stealing customers' critical financial data
6. Substantially reduces the potential of fraud
7. Accepts multiple payment options; credit cards, PIN entered debit
cards, ATM with PIN cards, and Smart Cards.

About eConnect
The eCashPad will enable your customers to pay you with either a card
present credit card swipe, or in the near future, with an ATM card with PIN
transaction. It is expected that your merchant bank will offer you a lower
credit card charge rate for receiving card present payments. Your customer's
can eventually use the eCashPad to pay you same as cash with ATM card
with PIN. That is real cash paid to you by your consumer.
The three benefits the eCashPad provides the customer:
1) It prevents any card data from being stored at the merchant's web site.
2) It enables card swiped credit card payments. Customers will be paying as
though standing in front of a merchant at a brick and mortar store.
Businesses may choose to offer incentive for card present credit card
payments.
3) It enables customers to pay with cash via an ATM card with PIN entered
on line debit payment. This is equivalent to a customer standing in front of
you and paying cash. We call these same-as-cash Internet payments, Bank
Eyes Only"" transactions.
The eCashpad is not designed to replace your existing shopping cart, it
simply serves as an alternate payment service option to your consumers. You
can still be paid by non-eCashPad payments as you are today.

Met Council Considers New MUSA Policy
As part of their work on the new regional blueprint, the Metropolitan Council is considering a new
MUSA policy that will focus on MUSA cities rather than a MUSA line. A MUSA city is defined
as any city that currently lies partially or wholly within the 2020 MUSA.
Between now and 2008, the proposed policy would allow these cities to locate growth and
development anywhere within their jurisdiction as long as regional systems will be available and
adequate. According to Met Council staff, the idea is to place more emphasis on how communities
grow and less emphasis on where.
The proposed policy is likely to have the greatest impact on cities that currently have a significant
portion of their land supply outside the MUSA. For example, Hugo, Forest Lake, Cottage Grove,
Inver Grove Heights, Rosemount and Shakopee are all likely to be impacted by the new policy.
The proposed policy is the result of an analysis of MUS A land supplies and emerging development
trends using preliminary region-wide 2000 land use data and the most recent Council growth
forecasts. Met Council staffhas stated that the proposed MUSA policy is based on the following
conclusions drawn from that analysis:
. "The currently designated 2020 MUSA does not have enough serviceable, potentially
developable land to accommodate the latest 2020 residential growth forecast. Newly
developing communities will need to expand the MUSA sometime during the planning
period, depending on the circumstances in individual cities."
. "In cities where the 2020 MUSA already splits the community, adding the remaining land
within those cities to the MUSA would make the regional land supply just adequate to
accommodate forecasted 2030 growth."
. "Changes in key residential development variables such as housing mix, density, and
infil1Iredevelopment amounts can have a significant effect on how long MUSA land supplies
last.."
Council staffhas suggested that the new policy will allow for more qualitative decisions regarding
the provision of metropolitan services and more individua1ized solutions to cities' development
issues.
Under the proposed policy, MUSA cities would essentially be allowed to "stage" their own
MUSA and would be encouraged to "plan for their entire jurisdiction, taking into account
http://www.arnmI45.orglnewsfux.htm
511102
Association of Metropolitan Municipalities
Page 20f2
provide infrastructure, community preferences and other factors."
To implement the proposed policy, Council staffhas suggested that the Council pledge to work
with MUSA cities to "monitor platting practices and land supply/demand to ensure adequate
supplies of serviceable, potentially-developable land on a subregional basis." Cities will be asked
to plan for a 20-year land supply and the Council will commit to a 10-year service allocation. The
10-year service allocation will be a rolling allocation, so that cities can always be looking 10 years
out, and it will not be tied to specific parcels of land within the community.
A discussion paper outlining the entire proposed policv and implementation framework is posted
online. Please contact Kris Wilson at AMM (kristine@amm145.orgor651/215-4003) with any
questions andlor comments.
AMM Fax News is faxed periodically to all AMM city mangers and administrators. The infonnation is
intended to be shared with mayors, council and staff in order to keep officials abreast of important metro
city issues.

Re: Neighborhood Crime Watch Involvement
On 04-27-02 I spoke with Mayor Swedberg regarding the amount of citizens in
Centerville that are involved with the Neighborhood Crime Watch program. Currently
there are 9 crime watch groups in Centerville but only one of them is located south of
Main Street.
I would like to see involvement in this program from the following areas in Centerville:
1. Center Street and adjoining cull de sacs
2. Cottonwood Court
3. South Brian Drive
4. Eagle Trail
S. Dupree Road
6. Lakelau.d Circle
7. Mound Trail
8. Clear Ridge
9. Peltier Lake Drive and adjoining cull de sacs
10. Heritage, Ooiffon, Sorel, and Progress
Mayor Swedberg and I spoke about different possibilities to obtain this goal such as:
mentioning the program at City Council Meetings etc., something On the cable challIlel,
signs and information at the City Hall.
If you have my questions or further idCllll to further this conquest please give me a call or
speak to Mayor Swedberg.
Sincerely,

Little progress on state budget negotiations
Is unallotment a possibility?
Gary Carlson
The snail's pace at which the Legisla-
ture is moving toward resolution of the
. state's budget shortfall has generated
more questions from city officials about
what could happen if the House,
Senate, and governor are not able to
agree on a package ofbudget modifi-
cations to address the state's budget
shortfall. The Legislature must find an
additional $439 million in spending
reductions, revenue increases, or
transfers from other funds to address
the remaining shortfall.
Last Wednesday, the Budget
Reconciliation Conference Commit-
tee met for three hours and adjourned
with no plans to reconvene. The
meeting bounced around from topic
to topic, including an attempt by Sen.
Dick Day (R-Owatonna) to pursue
the Senate Republican compromise,
which splits many of the differences
betWeen the House and the Senate.
Toward the end of the meeting, the
frustration of members was readily
apparent and best illustrated by Rep.
Ron Abrams (R-Minnetonka) when
he turned to the audience and asked,
"Has anyone heard an original thought
from the conferees in the last 45 min-
utes?" After a brief period of silence,
Rep. Torn Pugh asked Abrams (0 FL-
South St. Paul), "Why are you limiting
your question to the last 45 minutes?"
Earlier in the meeting, the Senate
fered a proposal to temporarily blink
on the cigarette and tobacco taxes .
until the state's budget reserVe was
replenished to $500 million and a
$153 million education reserve account
was reached. The proposal included
the original Senate plan to refinance
$245 million in transportation projects
and shift approximately $300 million
in school aid payments to the next
biennium. House members w~re
noticeably cool to the proposal and
critical of the lack of progress by the
Senate on the most controversial
components, including the tax increases
and the refinancing of the transporta-
tion projects.
Will progress be furthcoming
anytime soon? The Senate and House
held floor sessions on Monday; but the
budget reconciliation, bonding, stadium,
anti-terrorism, and the transportation
finance conference committees have yet
to announce plans to meet this week.
Unallobnent
If the session ends without a Housel
Senate agreement that can also sustain
a potential gubernatorial veto, the job
of balancing the state's budget could
fall back on the governor and the
commissioner of Finance. Under state
law, the governor and the c01IlIIlissioner
of Finance can make "tmallotments"
in state spending to balance the
remaining deficit.
The unallotment statute is fuund
in MN Statutes 16A.152 and is gener-
ally considered a broad grant of power
to the executivehranch to address
state budget shortfalls. Due to the
structure of the statute and the fact
that unallotment has not been regularly
used, there are many questions about
the limits that exist.
Despite the vagaries of the law,
there are several features that seem
clear. Before appropriations can be
unalloted, the statute suggests that the
state's budget reserve account would
have to be depleted. The coInInis.ioner
of Finance must have the approval of
the govemor and must" consult" with
the legislative leaders, although this
consultation does not require legisla-
tive approval. Once the budget reserve
account is used, relatively few restric-
tions exist on what the govemor can
cut.
According to a House Research
Department memo drafted by Joel
Michael and Mark Shepard, generally
no programs are exempt from cuts,
the commissioner is not required to
make across-the-board cuts, there is
no maximum percentage that the
commissioner can cut from any
expenditure, and the commissioner
can deter or suspend statutory provi-
sions that would otherwise prevent
the unallotment cuts from being
implemented.
UnaUobnent for cities
The unallotment power seems to
clearly extend to appropriations of aid

payments and homestead credit
reimbursements to cities, counties,
and school districts. During the state
budget crisis in the early 1980s, aid
payments to local units of government
were reduced by executive action.
Given that the governor has been
critical of the Phase I budget reconcili-
ation plan because local governments
did not "share the pain." unallotrnent
could tr.mslate into cuts in July, October,
and December aid and homestead
credit reimbnrsement payments to be
distributed yet this year.
In addition to the application of
unallotment to general state aids, there
is some queStion as to whether the
statute would allow the commissioner
. to unallot transrers of statutorily
dedicated motor vehicle sales we,
which is deposited into the highway
user CUe distribution fund (HUTDF).
A portion of the motor vehicle sales
tax was statutorily dedicated in 2000
when the governor successfully secured
legislative approval for the substantial
reduction in the license rees for auto-
mobiles. Currendy, the annual transfer
of motor vehicle sales tax is estimated
to be more than $160 million.
The unallotment statute potentially
applies to "any prior appropriation or
transfer." In fiscal years 2001 and 2002,
the deposit of the motor vehicle sales
tax to the HUTDF is clearly an
appropriation from the state's general
fund. Beginning in FY 2003, the
language of the transfer is modified
and a strict interpretation of this
language suggests that the receipts
are directly deposited in the HUTDF
and, therefore, are neither appropriated
nor transferred from the state's general
fund. If the deposit of the motor vehicle
sales tax were somehow deemed to be
a transfer from the general fund, the
conunissioner could conceivably
unallot the motor vehicle sales tax
dedication, which could affect the
revenue available in the HUTDF and
subsequendy the municipal state aid
(MS1\) account and the MSA distriba-
cion to cities over 5,000 population.
At this time, such an interpretation
does not appear likely.
As mentioned above, the unallot-
ment statute does not require the
commissioner to make reductions in
any particular manner. In fact, the
commissioner may have great latitude
to design and implement expenditure
reductions. According to the House
Research memo, the commissioner
may be able to unallot state aid and
homestead credit reimbursement
payments by using a newly developed
formula. However, the law seems to
suggest the formula should consider
other sources oflocal revenues available
to cities. Coincidentally, the city aid
cuts proposed by the governor in
February could conceivably be
employed for unallotment.
The law seems to clearly limit
unallotments to the current state fiscal
year, which includes this year's July,
October, and December payments of
local gove=ent aid and reimburse-
ments for market value homestead
credit. If enacted, these cuts would
likely occur more than six months
into the city~ current fiscal year; leaving
cities little time to implement neces-
sary spending reductions.
In addition to having to cope
with cuts relatively late in the fiscal
year, the interaction of these potential
unallotment cuts and levy limits will
potentially hamstring cities into the
2003 budget year. The levy limit law
does not currently provide for an
adjustment for state aid that was
originally certified but not actually
paid-in this scenario, due to unallot-
ment reductions. In other words, the
levy limit calculation for 2003 would
not account for the actual cuts in state
aid payments for 2002 and some cities
would have no ability to increase their
levy in 2003 to cover the 2002 cut.
However, other cities that did not use
their entire levy limit fur 2002 may be
able to recover a portion or all of the
cut through higher 2003 property taxes.
Let's hope the Legislature com-
pletes all of its work soon and that
unallotment is not an option. l:

City involvement in airport security
LMCff liability coverage may not cover claims
Pete Tritz
A number of city police departments
either already are or expect to become
involved in providing airport security
services in connection with scheduled
passenger flights leaving a regional
airport. The city officers would be
replacing the National Guard person-
nel who have been performing these
functions. It is extremely important to
be aware that the city's existing

LMCIT liability coverage may not
cover some liability claims arising
from these activities.
We understand the importance of
having regional air service, and that in
some cases the only alternative may
be fur city police to perform these
security activities. We are working to
address this coverage gap as quickly as
possible, but there are some reinsur-

LMC Cities Bulletin
Governor signs phosphorus bill
Jennifer O'Rourke
Last Friday, Gov. Ventura signed the
phosphorus bill restricting the use of
phosphorus in lawn fertilizers. The
new law imposes a ban on almost all
residential lawn fertilizers containing
phosphorus starting in January 2004.
For the seven-county metro area., these
lawn fertilizers will have a phosphorus
level of 0 percent. For areas outside
the metro counties, the phosphorus
portion of residential use lawn fertilizer
is restricted to 3 percent. These
restrictions do not apply to agricul-
tural use. An exception exists fOr golf
courses, as well as for home owners/
renters with newly sodded or seeded
lawns or those whose soil-tested lawns
show a need for additional phosphorus.
If a city adopts a more restrictive
ordinance before Aug. 1, 2002, that
city's ordinance is grandfuthered.
Any city adopting an ordinance after
Aug. 1, 2002, loses its more restrictive
positions when the law takes effect in
2004.
Currently, more than two dozen
of Minnesota's cities impose some
type of restriction on phosphorus
applications fur lawns and many
others are considering such action.
For a sample ordinance, contact the
LMC Research sta/fat (651) 281-1200.
Cltief authors of the legislation
were Rep. Peggy Leppik (R-Golden
Valley) and Sen. Linda Higgins
(DFL-Minneapolis).The bill is likely
to be one of a very few pieces of
environmental legislation to pass this
session. t"
Quieter fireworks bill awaits governor's signature
Anne Finn
Minnesota retailers may be just hours
away from being able to sell sparklers,
glow worms, party-poppers, snappers,
and fuuntains. The House and Senate
on Monday approved a scaled-back
version of a bill that would allow the
personal use of novelty fireworks
during periods around July 4th and
New Year's. Sale of the items would
not be regulated. The governor, who
has outspokenly supported legaliza-
rion of fireworks, is expected to sign
the bill. The new law will take effect
immediately.
The bill changed significantly
from the time it was introduced. The
original bill (SF 2960) dealt with an
entirely separate issue-unpaid leave
for volunteer firefighters. A fireworks
provision to allow a range of consumer
fireworks, such as firecrackers and
bottle rockets, was amended onto the
bill in the House Ways & Means
Comntittee. By the time the bill left
conference conunittee, the volunteer
firefighter provision had been stripped
out and the fireworks langnage had
been altered to narrow the scope of
the permissible items.
Passage of the bill is the result of
heavy lobbying by the national fireworks
industry and the Minnesota Retailers
Association. The new law could
generate about $1 million in sales
taxes. t"

Cities asked to send redistricting
information to counties
Ann Higgins
As cities complete the redrawing of
ward boundaries and changes to
precinct lines, it is equally important
to remember to send county auditors
the following information immedi-
ately after the city council has ofli-
cially adopted new plans for ward
and/or precinct boundaries. If your
city does not have wards, it is still
necessary to forward new precinct
boundary and polling place location
informationto the county as soon as
possible.
Counties must have this informa-
tion in hand befure they can comply
with statutes that direct the redistrict-
ing of county conunissioner district
boundaries. The timeframe for county
redistricting is extremely short. If your
city has completed redrawing precinct
and/or ward boundaries, be sure the
following information reaches the
. county auditor this week.
The following information must
be sent to the county auditor:
1. Precinct boundary changes, as per
M.S. 204B.14, subd.4.
2. Polling place changes, as per M.S.
204B.14, subd. 16 and Minn. Rules
8210.0700 and 8210.2300.
3. Ward boundary changes, as per
M.S. 201.021; .022, and Minn.
Rules 8200.9315 and 810.0700.
In addition, maps showing the
oounaaries of re-established precinctS
must be sent to the Office of the
Secretary of State (M.S. 204B.14,
subd.5).
It is also prudent to keep in mind
that M.S. 205.84, subds. 1 and 2 impose
a duty to redistrict wards and to
comply with the statute subject to the
imposition of a penalty that provides
that no compensation is to be paid to
either the mayor or councilmembers
until wards are either reconfirmed or
redefined as required by this statute. ..

Progress report on LMC Schools for- Vietnam initiative
Tom BuUington
Over the past several months, the
League of Minnesota Cities (LMC)
has been promoting the Schools for
Vietnam program--an initiative
developed to provide adequate school
facilities across the impoverished
nation ofVietnam through the East
Meets West Foundation. The League
has been encouraged by the participa-
tion of city, community, and school
officials across the state and appreciates
the donations and work done on
behalf of this worthy cause.
Two schools are already under
construction in Vietnam with funds
donated by the Northland Vietnam
Veteran's Association, private donors.
city employee groups, and League of
Minnesota Cities employees.
Iu addition, students belonging to
the Youth Connection Council (YCC)
from School District 196 (Rosemount-
Apple Valley-Eagan) met last week to
discuss their ongoing projects related
to Schools for Vietnam.
According to Community
Education Youth Services Manager
Connie Elvin, the district currendy
has three schools actively participating,
with another fuur planning to start
raising funds soon. Here's a progress
report from Elvin:
. Apple Valley High School has a
dance every year with the idea that
the funds raised will go to an
organization in the community.
Apple Valley Mayor Mary Hamann-
Roland, spoke to students about this
cause and students decided to
donate the money for the Vietnam
school. They raised $2,000. But, it
sounds like they may continue to
try and raise more. Two students
from YCC would like to see the five
high schools compete to see who
can bring in the most money. They
will be contacting student conncils
from each of the schools to get
things rolling.
. Valley Middle School students
produced a video using Student
Council members and a student
whose parents come from Vietnam.
They explained why it was impor-
tant to give money to this project
and included pictures ofVietnam.
They raised $500.
. Two students from the School of
Enviromnental Studies worked at
the Target Center fur Papa John's
one night and raised $200.A few
students from YCC also conducted
games at the zoo in Apple Valley fur
the "Spring Fling - Celebration of
Spring" and raised $100.
. Dakota Hills Middle School Student
Council plans to implement its
fund-raiser the first week of May.
They will have students buy paper
bricks that are placed on a wall,
building a school for Vietnam.
. Students from YCC continue to
find ways to raise money. They plan
to contact Cub Foods to sell hot
dogs. A portion of the mouey earned
will be returned for the Vietnam
project. And there are still opportu-
nities to work at the Target Center.
Plans are to continue money-raising
effurts through mid-May.
"I have been qnite impressed
with the ideas and motivation of these
YCC students," Elvin commented.
"Some of them began the year a litde
on the shy side, but they certainly
shine when there is a need or an
opportunity to serve, whether it be
their own community or an interna-
tional outreach effort. I am proud to
be a part of the Youth Connection
Council and to associate with so many
responsible and dedicated young
people. They enjoy the opportunity
of being able to make a difference for
others and I always find their enthusi-
astn contagious."

III Grants
Funds for homeland security improvements
Lourdes Sanchez
The LMCIT Board oITrustees has
approved expanding the bleacher
improvement financing prograro to
include city capital improvements for
purposes of security and emergency
preparedness. The same $3 million
from the property/casualty program's
fund balance dedicated to the bleacher
improvement program will be used fur
the newly expanded purpose.
In a recent survey, cities told the
League they are making security
improvements to city buildings and
facilities in recognition of possible
threats after the terrorist attacks of
Sept. 11. Not all of these perceived
dangers are a result of "terrorist"
activities. Many cities have simply
come to recognize dangers that have
existed all along----for instance a
chemical leak or industrial spill, or
contamination of the city's water
supply. These kinds of security
improvements could present a short-
term financing issue for some cities.
This program may help cities make
those improvements by providing a low
interest loan of3 percent, repaid over a
period not to exceed 5 years.
Some of the types of improve-
ments cities might consider under this
program include:
. Security system or contaminant
alert system fur water distribution
and treatment facilities
. Equipment to protect city com-
puter systems
. Protective equipment for first
responders
. Security improvements for city
buildings and facilities
As we continue to refine the loan
application process, we would like to
hear from cities about other kinds of
improvements they would like
considered under this loan program.

$90 million available for water utility security upgrades
EPA Administrator Christie Whitman
recently addressed the Association of
Metropolitan Water Agencies where
she emphasized EPA's commitment to
assist local utilities in safeguarding the
nation's water systems. Whitman
detailed a nearly $90 million national
effort that EPA, working with many
partners. is undertaking to make
drinking water and wastewater utilities
safe as quickly as possible. Whimun
also discussed clean water issues facing
the nation such as non-point source
pollution and watershed protection.
The largest drinking water systems,
those regularly serving more than
100,000 people, will be eligible to
apply fur grants to support comple-
tion of vulnerability assessments and
other security planning. Since Sept. 11,
water systems across the county have
been on heightened alert and increased
security measures. These vulnerability
assessments will help systems under-
take a more in-depth, comprehensive
analysis. As a result, they will identify
theit potential vulnerabilities and
security upgrades. Collectively, these
large systems provide service to nearly
half of Americans served by pnblic
water systems.
EPA will work cooperatively with
states, tribes, and appropriate organi-
zations to further develop and dissemi-
nare tools and support security efforts
at small and medium drinking water
and wastewater systems.
The nearly $90 million was
appropriated by Congress in an
FY 2002 supplemental. Requests for
applications for the grants will be
distributed in the upcoming weeks. k

New volunteer association organized
Ann Higgins
Late illst fall, the new Minnesota Association for Volnnteer Administration
(MAVA) was organized as a statewide alliance to provide a single voice to
represent shared interests of those working with volnnteers throughout the state.
MAVA's first president is Susao Ellis, who is also president of Energize, Inc., a
training, comulting, aod publishing firm that specializes in volnnteerism. MAVA
represents the interest of those who mobilize local resources, finding aod
placing a wide variety of people into the roles where they are needed.
The formation ofMAVA comes on the heels of the closing of the Minne-
sota Office of Citizenship aodVolnnteer Services (MOCVS) onJao. 31. MAVA
hopes to continue a number of functions previously performed-by MOGV&
MOCVS was closed as a result of the governor's recommendations for reducing
state expenditures.
MAVA plans to offer education and resources for volnnteer programs aod
services, and reduce duplication of efforts. Ellis has indicated the new volnnteer
organization is interested in learning about people who are heading up volnn-
teer activities aod the challenges they face. MA V A is asking for interested
volnnteer coordinators and administrators, particularly from outside the Twin
Cities metro area, to join and participate in corrunittee activities. Work can be
done from your city via telephone or e-mail. For more information, contact
Jean Nierenhausen at (651) 284-0435 orjean.rtierenhausen@mnhs.org.
Membership in MAVA includes a number of categories, ranging from
individual membership at $35 per year or organizational memberships that start
at $50 for the first employee aod $35 for each additional employee. For more
information and a membership registration furm, contact Nancy Thomes at

The session in reverse
Most legislative sessions begin very slowly and
end with a frenetic sprint to the finish. This
year, the process seems to have been reversed.
This session slarted with a roar of activity to
balance a projected budget deficit but for the
past month, the pace has slowed to a standstill.
In early January before the session began, th!'
governor offered his plan to balance the
shortfall, including major reductions in state aid
to cities. Coupled with the release of his plan,
he also challenged the legislature to take
immediate action to address the state's budget
problem-even suggesting that the legislature
should pass a proposal in the first weeks of the
session.
The session began on January 29 with a
projected $2 billion shortfall and a demand by
the governor for an immediate budget
reconciliation by the legislature. House and
Senne committees began meeting immediately
and on February 22, the legislature had
presented the governor with a Phase I $2 billion
budget reconciliation package. Although he
vetoed the bill on February 25, the House
overrode the veto on February 27 and the
Senate followed one day later. In all, it took the
legislature less than olle mOllth to address the
initial $2 billion deficit.
The state's financial situation took a turn for
the worse when the Department of Finance
announced on February 25 that the deficit had
grown by an additional $439 million. Given
that the Phase I plan drew upon the eas y
solutions such as shifting state resources and
drawing down reserves, it should not be
entirely surprising that the smaller remaining
deficit has been more difficult to address. That
said, the House and Senate each devised their
May 3, 2002
Page 1
own plans that resolved the issue with minimal
add itional pain.
The remaining $439 million deficit, along with
other controversial issues such as the gas tax,
the stadium, the anti-terrorism bill and the
bonding bill remain the major sticking points.
Te<:hnically, the legislature could go home
without addressing any of these issues.
H<>wever, the budget deficit will ultimately
require some action-if not by the legislature
then by the governor. He could be responsible
for balancing the remaining deficit with his
power to unallot stale appropriations, which
could include cuts in state aid to cities.
The legislature is running out ohime. The
regular session must end by May lO-with or
without resolution of these major issues. If we
don't see some signs of activity soon, the
legislature may not have enough time to repeat
an override of an expected governor's veto of
whatever compromise is reached for Phase II.
Bonding committee meetsnsort
of...
With virtually no official conference committee
action this week at the Capitol, the House
conferees of the bonding committee held an
unoffICial ''working group" meeting to take
public testimony on a variety of projects.
Although the Senate holds the gavel--maning
its their turn to call the meetingnHouse
conferees used the time to hear more about a
variety of issues. Of most interest to the
municipal community was testimony on
potential changes to redevelopment and
economic development programs.

Honorable Members of the City Council

Ellen Paulseth, Finance Director
Re:
Monthly updat!~f_activities
In my first week of employment I have attempted to become familiar with the city's accounting
system and processes, and have begun to develop a plan of action to fulfill the mission of the
finance director.
There is much work to be done to maintain the integrity of the city's financial position. Attached,
please find a preliminary work plan indicating activities I have identified as priority for this
position. I would appreciate your input and approval of this plan.
Also attached is a draft monthly budget report with narrative for the General Fund. As you will
note in my narrative, the city's accounts have not been reconciled. Therefore, the financial
information contained within the report should not be considered reliable at this point.
I appreciate your patience as we progress toward a standardized, accurate and efficient reporting
system. Again, as I have noted in the narrative, there are many accounting irregularities that must
be addressed before we can concentrate on improved reporting. I will focus on cleaning up those
problems and reconciling the city's accounts as my first order of business.
I commend the council and the administrator for having the foresight to institute this needed
position. I look forward to serving the residents of Centerville and meeting the needs of the
council.

City of CentervilIe
Finance Director Work Plan
May 2, 2002
1. Reconcile cash in all funds to bank statement:
a. Bank statements have not been balanced since January. This must be done
in order for financial reporting to have any credibility.
2. Reconcile all general ledger accounts to date:
a. A cursory review of the accounts has revealed numerous accounting
irregularities since the year-end audit. The amounts are material and must
be fixed if the city council wishes to have accurate financial information to
base its decisions upon.
3. Independent audit recommendations:
a. Investments - the city could be earning more interest income with the
appropriate investment policies in place.
b. Project files must be reconciled and balanced with transfers from water
and sewer funds.
c. Schedule of debt payments must be prepared.
d. Internal controls policy should be established. Segregation of duties was
reported as a material weakness on the audit this year, rather than just a
note or reportable condition.
e. Systems and processes - establishment of standardized, organized
procedures for all financial transactions of the city.
f. Review TIF reports and reconcile with city's records.
g. GASB 34 - establish dollar limit for capitalization of assets and prepare
the appropriate records necessary to implement the new accounting
statement. Fixed asset records have not been kept and need to be created
from scratch.
4. Council recommendations:
a. Monthly budget report with narrative prepared for council.
b. Establish cash reserves policy and report monthly on fund balance
condition.
c. Establish and implement capital and general expenditure policy.
d. Establish and implement efficient budget process.
5. Other needs:
a. Human Resources - work could be done in the area of labor and benefits.
b. Technology - computer network administration.
c. Public Relations - secretary needs help with design and maintenance ofthe
city Web page.
City of CenterviIle
Narrative for Interim Financial Statements
Month Ended April 30, 2002
Attached are interim financial statements for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds,
Debt Service Funds and Capital Projects Funds for the City of Centerville. These reports
are intended to illustrate how city operations are progressing financially during the year.
The interim financial statements are unaudited and may not reflect all financial
transactions that will be recorded for the year.
NOTE: THE GENERAL LEDGER AND REVENUE EXPENSE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR 2002 ARE IN rHJL~ROCESS OElJ~ING RECONCILED.
UNTIL THAT PROCESS IS COMPLETE, THE NUMBERS ON THIS REPORT
SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON TO AN EXTENDED DEGREE. WE ARE
PROVIDING THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THIS MONTH FOR
THE PURPOSE OF OBTAINING INPUT ON THE FORMAT AND NEED OF
THE REPORT. IF THE FORMAT OF THIS REPORT IS ACCEPTABLE TO
COUNCIL, IT CAN BE PREPARED ON A MONTHL Y BASIS FOR ALL FUNDS.
Please take note of the following:
General Fund
Revenues
1. Taxes
Property tax revenues are received from the county in June, November, December
and January. The January settlement is accrued back to the previous year.
Therefore, no property tax revenues should be reflected on the interim statements
as of the above date. A coding error from March, resulting in a negative balance
of$14,847.63 will be corrected on the next report.
2. Intergovernmental
There has been no intergovernmental revenue received so far this year. Police
State Aid will be received in September or October. There was no budget for
Local Government Aid.
3. Interest
Interest earnings are below budget and will most likely continue to be below
budget throughout the year.
4. Miscellaneous
The amount shown includes a grant from the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources, in the amount of $40,500, for equipment for Acorn Creek Park. The
equipment was purchased in the year 2001. It may have been more appropriate to
recognize the grant revenue in the same year.
Expenditures
I. Elections
No expenses will incur until election season.
2. Economic Development
EDC is running slightly above budget.
3. Financial Administration
The audit is complete. There may be one more billing for this audit year.
4. Assessing
Payments are made to Anoka County in February. The assessing should be
complete for this year.
5. Fire Protection
Payments are made quarterly in the amount of $19,016.50 to Centennial Fire
Department. The amount shown includes payments for the first two quarters of
this year. It also includes a payment to the fire department in the Month of
March, in the amount of $14,500, that should have come from the gambling fund.
A transfer will be made to correct this error in the month of May.
6. Electricallnspection
With a new construction season just beginning, electrical inspection looks like it
will be over budget for the year.
7. Animal Control
There was an improper journal entry made in March of this year in the amount of
$982. An entry will be made in May to credit Animal Control in that amount.
8. Streets
Street work is seasonal and will be beginning soon.
9. Park and Recreation
This department also is very seasonal. Plans are being made to expend funds for
the summer season.
Recommendations: Please be patient. Bringing the accounting system up to speed and
establishing consistent reporting standards will take some time. Progress is being made
on a daily basis, but there is much work to be done.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Staff
SUBJECT: Overweight Pennit Request
DATE: May 8, 2002
We received a request for an overweight permit for the City's Landscaping Service
('I alley Creek Lawn & Landscape, Inc.) The vehicle that is used to transport the
equipment needed to provide these services not only for City Hall but all parks weighs
approximately 7 tons. As you maybe aware, the Spring weight restrictions have been
lifted; however, such streets as Heritage, LaMotte Drive, Brian Drive, Sorel Street and
Mill Road are designated as 5 ton limits. Several parks are located on these roads or
access needs to be obtained by these roads.
Please consider this request and thank you for your consideration.

Attention City Administrator Kim Moore-Sykes
May01,2002
SUBJECT: Variance Request, Mr. & Mrs. Tracy Tratar, May 07, 2002 P & Z meeting.
Dear Kii:n Moore-Sykes;
Business issues prevent me for attending the meeting, however I support the issuance of a variance to
allow ow1ding of an attached two-car garage.
Approval ofvariance request should be tied to special circumstances: The following items are my--
reasoning to approval this variance;
A. I watched this development being built twenty years ago. Most of the homes were what I call a starter
home, a first home for a YOUJIg couple. The plots were arangerd to have garages, out for many reasons,
SOJ:lle were not built at home construction time. As time proceeded the development's residents and
Centerville grew up. I think all of the homes now have garages but this one. An example of the
neighborhood setbacks and plot lines can be viewed by looking to the next lot north. These long time
owners and lot should be grandfathered in to allow the same look as the rest of the neighborhood.
B. ThlS comer lot lll'!1Ulgement lS such that a detached garage could oe built in the southeast corner of the
lot. This southeast corner detached garage would be in direct conflict with Ordinance #4, Division 40:
part C "AU single-family detached dwellings shllll have attached garages." You ueed look to the lots
south to see detached garages. This City requirement alone provides special status to allow a city
preferred variance to have an attached garage verses a detached garage.
C.rhe neighborhood has grown up, but since the home construction, the question has always been
"when will the home be completed?" The house is lacking without a double garage like all the other
homes in the area.
Summary
I would approve special variance on the grounds; the home needs a garage to blend into the
neighborhood, the city's guidelines request attached verses a detached building; the variance would te
w1thfu the layout of the current neighborhood and of the original neighborhood plotlines.
I would add the additiou of a timetable for the driveway installion. The additiou of a garage would
require the owner to install a driveway and this would reduce the yard mud from eutering the roadway.

Here's some feedback on the volunteer brochure...
'l.'hi'Li8 .iil__el':CeUent Qro<:::hu,z::~U_L <IQJ)~1ie1-1- don~_Su~anneJJ'-
Consider these couple ideas:
It looks like the "last" page has a fair amount of room on it. The phone number
is repeated twice. Consider moving the city address, web page URL, etc to the
bottom of the previous column (where the big phone number is). That would leave
the whole "last" page blank. Now use that space to list the Parks and a very
brief description (as we thought of doing in the trail map handout). Just put
whatever will fit on that page.
I'm uncomfortable with the CDRS reference. If it's there, the city may have to
explain what company it is and why that company created this brochure, etc. I'm
afraid it crosses a line I'd rather not crass.
Four of the five bullets are lling" words - to match, perhaps make the first
bullet something like:
Spring cleaning of parks and trails. Also consider expanding the "Building... II
bullet to perhaps "Building and assembling various park structures such as
playgrounds or birdhouses."
Again, it's a great brochure. I hope the city will go for it.
Thanks.

Meeting Minutes
04/03102
The need for volunteers was discussed. It will be noted on the registration form
that adult volunteers would be appreciated and parent involvement is encouraged.
Volunteers are especially needed for the biking/swimming and canoeing activities.
The committee discussed various ways of advertising. Mr. Lee suggested sending
home information from schoo~ but questioned whether the school would do that
because of security reasons. Suggestions were the City Hall sign, cable, the
website and possibly the local paper. Advertising should begin in May. Ms.
Devine will check into advertising in the-paper and Ms Peil will do a flyer
announcement. Council Member Capra said that the City Council was considering
taking out a Y4 page add quarterly in the Quad and perhaps the Summer Park
Program could be included. Council Member Capra added the Parks & Recreation
Committee could kickoff this program by having a table at the April 27, 2002
Volunteer Recognition Day Celebration which is scheduled from I 0-1 :00 p.m. at
City Hall. This celebration is to show appreciation to all volunteers and their
families and to help promote volunteerism within the community. It will also
include an award ceremony. Ms. Devine will need to let Council Member Capra
know if Mr. Porter will be presented with his recognition plaque at the award
ceremony on April 27, 2002. Council Member Capra would like the Parks and
Recreation Committee to be involved.

Motion was made by Ms. Pei1, seconded by Mr. LeBlanc to accept the Wargo
Nature Center Summer Park Program as laid out by Mr. Murowski and
charge a $2.00 prepaid fee per child.
All in favor: Motion carried Unanimously.
Council Member Capra questioned where the balloons and balloon weights went
after the Fete des Lacs Festival. She would like to locate these for the Volunteer
Recognition Celebration. Ms. Pell asked if staff had received her e-mail requesting
the remaining buttons for Fete des Lacs. Ms. Stephan will check on these supplies.
Council Member Capra reported the City of Vadnais Heights has a 'Party Trailer'
to rent to residents for a nominal fee, which includes tables, chairs and grills and
suggested perhaps Parks and Recreation would like to do something like that in the
future. Mr. Peterson will locate the Parks and Recreation banner.
