r i areas. The City's draft plan does not appear to recognize this interest and regional economic and planning consideration. The "public" interest to date has only taken into account preferred reuse of the area. It would seem that the welfare of present community members needs to be addressed on a higher priority basis. Labor and Equipment Impact: The City's draft plan has a major and far reaching impact on not only business operations, but also the personnel lives of a substantial number of people. According to the Metropolitan Council, the Twin Cities Region has a total of 15,769 persons employed in trucking and warehousing as of March 1988. It is estimated, based upon Teamster Union figures as well as operator data that the Roseville Twin Lakes Area has approximately 1,000 to 1,500 individuals so employed. The figures cited do not take into account employment generated by related business activity. These statistics are highlighted not only to demonstrate general impact of the trucking industry upon the City, but also to suggest that there are related spending considerations and economic benefit which the City would loose from a general displacement of the trucking industry facilities. The impact of these matters has not been evaluated per the information made available as part of the present plan. Additionally, to further demonstrate magnitude and carry over of the economic situation, Hyman Freightway has approximately 2,200 pieces of equipment housed at one time or another at its Roseville site. This inventory represents investment dollars spent in the purchase of new equipment and equipment repair. A significant portion of this money is spent in Roseville businesses. While recognized as one of the larger operations, Hyman is but one of approximately eight terminal facilities in the Twin Lakes Area. )./0 Another factor which must be considered in the displacement an;( 0~ relocation of the trucking industry from the Twin Lakes Area is 1 ( k- the added cost or "stem time" which will be experienced by the M.I '-)/ operations.

Other costs are included for fuel, repair and maintenance. These approximate $12.00 per hour. Locating to a new facility 10 miles north or northwest of the Roseville site would likely generate anywhere from one half hour to an hour and one half extra stem time. This would approximate $18.50 to $55.50 per hour on an average basis. It is estimated that this added cost would conservatively amount to approximately $350.000 annually for just the Hyman operation. These overhead costs can not be reimbursed by relocation .benefits and are an expense which 6 R-0002676 , ;,,}
