To: School and Community Leaders
From: Parents of Children of Color and Other Interested Community Members
Racism and other "isms" scar our children for life. lndi vidual acts of bigotry and
institutional discrimination act as invisible handicaps that cripple our childrenjust as surely as any
physical handicap would. Children victimized by racism carry that pain and humiliation within
themselves, thereby affecting their daily interactions within their families and their communities.
We believe that racism and other forms of oppression and discrimination preyent
this community from being truly welcoming. What does it mean to be a welcoming
community? What does it mean to be a safe community? Do we want our communities to be a safe
place for all of our children, includingmulticultural and multi ethnic children? How do we look our
children in the eye and respond when they come home from school and they tell us that they were
called a "nigger" or "fat Chinese bitch" or some other racist name, harassed, or physically attacked
because of what they look like? And how do we respond when they tell us that their teacher did not
do anything about it? How do we let them know that they are precious and valuable and beautiful
when they are facing racism, hatred and bigotry?
To help respond to these and similar questions, the ~lulticultural Task Force
formed a subcommittee to address these very issues. In October of 1997, ,.,.e
partnered with District 742 and the Violence Prevention Council to offer a
diversity ~trainingto school and community counselors and teachers. At this
training workshop, we generated more questions than answers, specifically .
questions abóutthe issues faced by people of color and their children in our
schools and communities. To get at these issues, the Task Force initiated a series
of meetings with parents of youth of color and other interested community
members. These meetings have proven to provide a safe atmosphere for people of
color to identify issues and work collaboratively to deyelop recommendations to
present to leaders in our schools and communities.
As you read this summary of issues and recommendations, please try to put aside
any defenses that may arise and hear the intent and spirit Yrith which these
recommendations came forth. School districts and communities should be reminded that they
are obligated to follow state laws, mandates, ordinances, and policies regarding human rights, civil
rights, and multicultural and gender issues. There are also higher laws of morality, ethics, and
spirituality that should govern and guide our conduct.
'We would like to invite you to a meeting to discuss racism in our schools and
communities. We believe that this could be the beginning of making our communities truly
welcoming for ALL of our children. Our report of issues and recommendations is included on the
following page. We want to emphasize that this summary is not a complete report, rather it is
viewed by us as a starting point for dialogue and action.

Introduction
In 1986, the Minnesota Legislaturepassedlegislation authorizing cities to
establish formal economic development organizations to promote local economic
growth. Although there were already many kinds of local development
organizations, EDAs were created to facilitate a well-rounded development
program by taking advantage of some of the activities performed by Port
Authorities and Housing Redevelopment Authorities.
In addition, EDAs were authorized to exercise the powers of cities in connection
with city development districts and the powers of municipalities or development
agencies in connection with municipal industrial development. By creating an
EDA, city officials and EDA board members are not only able to focus
development on blighted areas but, also create programs that will prevent blight
from occurring elsewhere in the community.
Powers of the Sf. Joseph Economic Development Authority include:
~ Serve as a promotional tool for business recruitment
- ~ Issue general obligation (by referendum) and revenue bonds
- ~ Purchase and sell land
~ Serve as a limited partner in development projects
~ Make or guarantee or create other credit enhancements
The City of Sf. Joseph established an Economic Development Authority, via the
Star City certification, to develop a program to assist economic growth within the
community. By utilizing the EDA and City powers, the community leaders are
able to create flexible business assistance and development programs. This
strategic plan will assist the EDA and City in following a set plan for such
economic and community development programs.

Dear, Ms. 8tapleton
Included you will find information for the additional streetlights requested in Pondview
Ridge. The proposal c.onsists of seven lights. a map of where we $lIgg~t placing thc!\e light.., a...
well as the illSsociatcd costs.
Stearns Electric is proposing the tollowing construction type for this project. While other
construction types are available, this seems to be the most applicable in your area based on past
construction and market trends. The first is to build the structures usíng thirty foot woodt:n poles
and 100 watt Cobrahead lighting in order to reduce the effect known as light pollution within the
. development, with one 150 watt Cobrahead light on an eight foot mast ann neiU'the interseotion
of91S1 and Dale. lñe Cobrahead structures should match the existing facilities throughout
Pondview and on 91 $I street.
Two payment options are available for the construction of these units. One i~ to pay the
construction charges up front The other option is to pay for these charges monthly. In either
cue there win be a monthly energy usage charge of $6.25 for lOOW structures and $1.25 for
150W ~1ructures. In lhe past. the City has chosen to pay construction charg~ up front. The
charge for the fIrst proposal. should it be accepted. is $3.205.00. As in the past. we've offered
you the op~on to pay on a monthly basis. The charge for each light wouJd be $7. 70/month should
the city decide to pay on a monthly basis. The monthly facility charge would then continue as
long a~ the structur~ are in ~e.
It i5 noteworthy to mention that ddays may incrca:5C: co5t5 of tbo project due to the
construction of driveways, which hinder our path to existing transformers. Thus far a sing[e
driveway has encroached Qur path and more are sure to ~pear. If other construction types should
be consider(:( or if there are any que~1ions please do not hc:iitatt: to call.

RE: Rental Housing Committee Report
INTERNET ADDRESS Our File No. 18,889
rajhan@c1oudnet.com Dear Rachel:
I've had a chance to review the report of the Rental Housing Committee which
accompanied your letter of April 3, 1998. The following are my comments with
respect to the matters captioned "Items for Council Consideration, and Attorney
FRA,"K J, RAKOWSKl' t Draft":
. GORDON H, HA:-':S)'lElER
FREDERICK L GRL")¡KE 1. Incorporate resolution of July 11,1996 into the housing ordinance. I agree that
THOMAS G, JOVANOVICH t this information should be communicated to the landlords on a regular basis;
JOHN H, SC'JERER but I have reservations in incorporating it into the ordinance. First, it will
be difficult to incorporate this language into the ordinance in a meaningful
PAUL A, RAjKOWSKl t fashion. Second, even if it is incorporated into the ordinance, that will not
KEVIN F, GRAY necessarily mean that it will be brought to the attention of the landlords
WILLIAM J. C',SIßIAN since it has been my experience that many do not know what is contained in
RICHARD W, SoBAlVARRO the ordinance. I believe that we can assure some consistency and
BETH 5, THQ),1P50N enforcement in the following manner:
BRIDGET M, U:-':DQUIST

3. Ticket tenants for noise violations. Generally, it's been my understanding that the police
departm~ntdoes tick~t people for noise violations where they are able to identify the responsible
parties. Noise is regulated by Ordinance 102. Participation in a noisy party or permitting a noisy
party constitutes a violation of the Noise Ordinance. Presumably, some occasions arise where
noise can be traced to a specific residence, but no individuals are identified to be held criminally
responsible. In addition, I believe there have been occasions where the police have felt that they
had no discretion but to report a violation against the landlord even though they did not feel the
case was strong enough to warrant anything more than a warning to the culprits. In this regard,
I'd recommend consistency in enforcement; if the police feel that a simple warning to the
residents is appropriate (such as where the noise is inadvertent or not unusual) it is not necessary
to report the complaint as a violation against the landlord.
I would suggest that this matter be discussed with the Chief of Police to confirm what the current
policy is with respect to ticketing the violators.
4. Define the difference between petty misd£meanor, misd£meanor and gross misd£meanor. The
Ordinance Code currently provides for the same punishment for petty misdemeanor and
misdemeanor offenses as provided under state law. Our Ordinance Code simply adopts state law
because of occasional changes in the penalties. By simply adopting state law, we have been able
to keep our Ordinance Code consistent with penalties prescribed for offenses of the same nature .
by state law. For your information, a petty misdemeanor is an offense punishable by a fine of
up to $200. It is not considered criminal in nature. A misdemeanor is punishable by a fine of
up to $700 and up to 90 days in jail. A gross misdemeanor is punishable by a fine of up to $3,000
and one year in jail.
Municipalities have the authority to adopt ordinances which carry petty misdemeanor or
misdemeanor penalties. We may not classify an ordinance violation as a gross misdemeanor or
felony. City Attorneys prosecute some gross misdemeanors, but those are gross misdemeanors
arising under state law.
5. Establishing a noise violation as a gross misdemeanor. As noted above, we may not designate by
ordinance an act to be a gross misdemeanor. Municipal authority for establishing punishment
is limited to misdemeanors.
Currently, first offense of the noise ordinance is only a petty misdemeanor. Only after
accumulating three offenses, is a noise violation treated as a misdemeanor. This can be changed
in the ordinance to make the first offense a misdemeanor.
As a practical matter, this may make very little difference as far as how students charged with
the offense would be treated. The amount of the fine would probably be similar whether or not
the matter was a misdemeanor or petty misdemeanor, unless there were multiple offenses. One
drawback in charging the matter as a misdemeanor is the fact that the defendant may qualify for
a public defender. Public defenders are not allowed for petty misdemeanor offenses. 1£ the .
individual qualifies for public defender, that often significantly increases prosecution costs. Also,
a person charged with a misdemeanor is entitled to trial by jury which is much more costly.
.."
..
.' Ms. Rachel Stapleton
April 16, 1998
Page -3-
I do not believe that the reclassification of the first offense of a noise violation from petty
misdemeanor to misdemeanor will have any significant affect on the conduct of the residents.
I do not believe it will have a significant affect as far as how the court tre'atšthe' first violation.
I believe that it could have a significant affect on the costs of prosecution, not just in the area
of legal fees but also officer time spent on court appearances. Therefore, I would not
recommend a change in this area.
6. Fine structure for noise violations. Typically, the court will set a fine of about $50.00 for the first
offense, whether it is classified as a misdemeanor or petty misdemeanor. In addition to the
actual fine, there are some surcharges which will add about another $15 to the totaL An
individual who is convicted of our Noise Ordinance three or more times within a three year
period can be charged with a misdemeanor. With those circumstances, the fine will be greater
than that set by the fine schedule, not because the matter is classified as a misdemeanor, but
rather due to the two prior convictions.
I hope this provides you and the Council with some direction. Let me know if there are any other
specific questions regarding any of these matters.
Very truly yours,

:::LERKI RE: Schedule of Fees and Charges
ADMINISTRATOR
~achel Stapleton Last fall the Council considered the schedule of fees and charges and requested review of area

:::OUNCILORS massage licenses, The results of the survey are as follows:
Bob Loso

Ken Twit Shops Permits Licenses Licenses

Albany 0 0 0 0
Avon 0 0 0 0

Mankato $10
Therefore I am recommending the following:
Second Hand Dealers S 1 ,000
Parade Permit 10
Tattoo License 130
Because the City of St Joseph does not have an ordinance regulating massage establishments, I
have excluded a massage fee from this resolution, Waite Park does not have many applicants
with their $500 fee, St Cloud recommends not regulating massage establishments because of
the inherent inspection and licensing enforcement problems. They license the establishment but
provide for inspection through their health department
There has been some consideration for the State of Minnesota to license massage, This may be

damage caused by CSB/SJU students could approach the Universities to receive restitution
when the grant funds are depleted, The educational process would make the students
accountabie for their actions,

J!¡¡¡¡ POSTIlL SERVICE
5/4/98
Rachel,
The policy change that has taken place with the Post Office is: Anyone living
within 1/4 mile of the office and not offered street delivery will now be
given a free P.O.box. Previously these people only had the option of general
delivery which limited the time of day they could pick-up their mail.
I've enclosed a map showing this 1/4 mile distance from the Post Office. As you
can see their aren't that many people that will be affected by this new
policy. In fact by changing the roads the carriers use when leaving and
returning to the Post Office we will be able to offer these people street
delivery if they desire. This would mean they would get their mail anywhere
between 10 AM and 3 PM depending upon the carrier's line of travel. If
they desire to have their mail available earlier they can continue to
pay for the PO Box service.
By changing the carriers line of travel this opens up the possibility of /
- delivery service being extended those people living on 1st, 2nd & 3rd Avenues Nt~jC
between Cty Rd 75 and Baker St.
- . .
The Post Office has no restriction on where these mail boxes would be
~ .
erected other than they have to be acesstble from a car window. This is
where the City Council could become involved. You could disallow mail boxes
altogether in these areas or you could res~ct the placement of the boxes.
Such as only allowing boxes on one side of the street, the PO would probably
do this anyway,or grouping the boxes together. If people are allowed to
put up boxes in front of their individual houses it creates a parking
problem in that the boxes must be kept clear for the carrier to drive up
to and away from with out doing any backing.
Also you'll have to clairify if this ordinance just applies to the core
section of the city or what. Are the areas already receiving delivery
going to be required to relocate their boxes?

POSTMASTER GENERAL PROVIDES NO-FEE
POST OFFICE BOX SERVICE TO SOME RURAL CUSTOMERS
WASHINGTON - In a move to update postal regulations to become more in line -Mth today's
customer needs, Postmaster General Marvin Runyon announced that the U.S. Postal Service VYiIl
extend no-fee post office box eligibility to "quarter-mile" customers. The change, effective today,
marks the first step to modify the rule, 'Mlich originated after Rural Free Delivery (RFD) was initiated
in 1896.
This special services reform measure VYiIl make free post office box service available to
several hundred thousand customers.
"All Americans are entitled to a free form of mail service," announced Marvin Runyon. -
The change now, 'provides free post office box service to customers residing or conducting ~
business -Mthin a quarter-mile of rural post offices, and 'MlO are ineligible for any form of carrier
delivery service.
This change does not apply to customers currently paying for delivery through post office
boxes as an alternative to, or in addition to, carrier delivery, or those 'Mlo erected "out-of-bounds'
mail boxes. Out-of-bounds customers are typically rural customers who do not receive carrier
delivery to their property. These customers place their mail boxes on the letter carrier's line of travel
near other mail boxes. Business and residential customers who choose to use post office box
service as an alternative to street delivery v-.111 continue to pay for post office box service.
The quarter-mile rule dates back more than 90 years, 'Mlen America's primary mode of
transportation was the horse and buggy. Among other reasons of the era, the distance was not
considered a hardship for customers. Further steps to eliminate or reduce the effects of the rule are
being considered.
