Re: Party House Grant
Last summer the council authorized me to apply for a grant to deal with
investigations at "party houses" and furnishing alcohol to minor cases. We have
received notice that we have been awarded $2,000 to do this.
- The money will be used to pay for investigations, overtime to investigatelhandle
- cases, buy money for illegal sales and money to pay a person to go to party houses
in an attempt to purchase alcohol.

RE: Annual Review of Costs
- Dear Mayor Hiemenz:
-
The Sewer Use Agreement states that the St. Cloud Public Utilities will provide your City
with an annual review of unit costs. The enclosed information is presented to satisfy that
stipulation.
The budget figures used for 2001 have not been approved by the City Council as of this
date. If the Council adopts the budget as presented, the enclosed unit charges will
become effective January 1,2001. If there are changes after council adoption of the
budget, we will provide you with corrected data.
As stated in previous yearly reports, there are two outstanding bonds for the main lift
station and biosoìids storage faciiities. The combined principal and interest payments are
shown in Category A. Debt Service.
St. Cloud is currently hauling 18,000,000 gallons ofbiosolids to regional agricultural
properties. We are finding it more difficult to dispose of this product. To improve our
efficiency and disposal opportunities, we are planning to hire a consulting engineer to
appraise the process and suggest methods of dewatering the existing material. We plan to
fund the study and preliminary project from reserves and therefore do not see a need to
issue any bonds in the year 2001.

During your examination of the information that we are providing, you will notice that
the flow to the Wastewater Treatment Facility went down, probably due to the drought,
and that the pounds of CBOD and TSS coming to the facility increased for the reporting
period.
Please contact either of us if you have any questions regarding any of the enclosed items.

1. Wood stud ftaming is mostly complete on the main level; they are working on
ftaming the elevator shaft.
2. Plumbing is being roughed in.
3. Mechanical work continues.
4. We reviewed the second submittal of the wood door for color match to the existing
doors that will be reused. We noted that the color on the existing doors does vary
slightly; this second sample was acceptable.
5. Dan noted he reviewed the amount of additional material that would be needed to
complete Alternate G-3 with Jeff is approximately 40 lineal feet (rather than 40
. square feet). He agreed Jeff would provide the pricing credit for this item.
6. We discussed the glue residue at the areas where vinyl base was removed. The
subcontractor suggested that we use a carpet base instead of a vinyl base at no extra
cost. We agreed that this would need to be approved by the City.
The foregoing constitutes our understanding of items discussed and conclusions reached. Other participants are
requested to review these items and advise the originator in writing of any errors or omissions within ten days of

October 131h, 2000
Dear Neighboring City Official:
The City of Sauk Rapids is extremely pleased to be hosting the 2000 League of
Minnesota Cities (LMC) regional meeting for our area on Thursday, November 2, 2000.
It will be held at the City of St. Cloud East Side VFW Post 4847. 24 - 5th Avenue SEe
St. Cloud Minnesota. We hope that many of the elected officials and appropriate staff
ftom your city will join us.
Attached is an agenda for the day. Come and learn about the resources ofLMC and the
Insurance Trust that can now be easily accessed via the Internet. Find out, too, how LMC
can help your city have its own effective and relatively inexpensive Web site.
- Following the break, you'll learn about how the high-tech, information age is changing
- what cities have to do to comply with open meeting and data practices laws. After that,
the League's lobbying staffwill engage us all in a dialogue about important upcoming
issues like property tax reform and telecommunications restructuring.
The social hour offers a great time to reconnect with old mends and make some new
ones. When that's over, we've planned a delicious dinner.
The evening program promises the next edition in the annual "Buzz Olson" video series,
this year focusing on LMC's new initiative "Building Quality Communities" designed to
help all of us do a better job of connecting with our citizens in a positive way. The
evening will also include an update of how to engage the youth of your city in mutually
beneficial ways.
All in all, it promises to be a great day for cities in our region. The program is strong, the
food will be tasty, and the networking unsurpassed. You won't want to miss out, so send
in your reservation on the enclosed form.
All of us in Sauk Rapids look forward to seeing you on November 2nd.

Mayor Kenneth Hiemenz
City of St. Joseph
PO Box 372
St. Joseph, MN 56374
Dear Mayor Hiemenz:
I am the chairperson of the St. Cloud Area Smoking Ban Ordinance Task Force and have been asked by
the Task Force to send this letter to the mayors and council members of St. Cloud, Sartell, St. Joseph,
Sauk Rapids, Waite Park and Ventura.
The Task Force consists of nine members, including:
Bob Johnson - St. Cloud City Council member
Carol Belfiori - Sauk Rapids Tobacco Free Future coordinator
Rod Oltz - owner of Jimmy's Pour House in SaukRapids
- Aaron Anderson - Ventura City Administrator
Nancy Heinen - owner of H.R. Pesty's Saloon & Eatery and Waite Park representative
- Harold Jesh and Gary Then - Sauk Rapids City Council members
Karen Kleinschmidt - registered nurse and St. Cloud resident
Tim O'Hara - owner of O'Hara's Brew Pub & Restaurant in St. Cloud
and myself, Julie Lunning on behalf of the St. Cloud Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.
I certainly want to commend all of the Task Force members for volunteering their time to work on this
issue.
Over the past several months, the Task Force has met four times with the most recent meeting on
Thursday, October 19. During these meetings, the Task Force reviewed many studies on the health
effects of secondhand smoke and the economic impact that smoking bans have on hospitality businesses.
Also, presentations have been made by a representative from the Minnesota Restaurant Association and a
Duluth city council member which sponsored Duluth's recently adopted smoking ban ordinance.
Time was allowed for public input during the meetings. The Task Force listened to a number of residents
from the area, members of Smoke Free Coalition 2000, Tobacco Free Futures Project, American Cancer
Society, and owners of area bars, restaurants, clubs and bowling centers. In addition, a survey was sent to
250 area bars, restaurants, clubs and bowling centers to learn how many establishments are currently
smoke-free, if they support or oppose a smoking ban ordinance, if they currently prohibit smoking on
any particular days and if they have received customer complaints.

Recently, a Task Force member learned that the Minnesota Department of Health had appointed its own
task force more than a year ago to investigate changes to Minnesota's clean indoor air law. At our Task
Force meeting on October 19, the new proposed state regulations were reviewed and discussed at length.
Briefly, the new proposed rules would require all restaurants and most bars to do the following:
· Ventilation systems must exhaust all air from a smoking section directly to the outdoors.
· Ventilation systems must not recirculate air from a smoking section with air in a non-smoking
section.
· A wall with closed doors must be constructed between a smoking and non-smoking section or
ventilation air flow must be maintained at all times in one direction from a non-smoking area
toward a smoking area.
· All existing restaurants and bars would need to comply with these requirements within 5 years
after the rules are adopted. All new restaurants and bars would need to comply with these
requirements within 2 years.
-
These rules are now being certified by the state and will be published for public comment in the next
- several months. If they are adopted, these rules would uniformly regulate all restaurants and most bars
throughout the state. However, these rules do not prohibit a city from adopting its own ordinance
regulating smoking in hospitality establishments.
During the October 19 meeting, a motion was made to cease all further Task Force meetings since the
state health agency was already working on these new proposed rules which would apply statewide. The
motion also requested that a letter be sent to all six cities that have participated in or declined to
participate in the Task Force. After a lengthy discussion, the motion passed on a 6-3 vote. Those voting
in favor of the motion were Rod Oltz, Aaron Anderson, Nancy Heinen, Gary Then, Tim O'Hara and
myself. Those voting in opposition to the motion were Bob Johnson, Carol Belfiori and Karen
Kleinschmidt.
For your reference, I have attached the one page summary of the MN Department of Health's rules and
chart issued by the state health agency detailing the proposed changes in the clean indoor air law. These
are the same documents that the Task Force reviewed at last Thursday evenings meeting.
If you have any questions about this letter or items regarding the Task Force, please feel free to call me at
202-6711.
Sincerely,
Julie Lunning
Task Force Chairperson
