Box 668 St. Joseph, MN 56374-0668 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. 400 2nd Street South· St. Cloud.

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 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 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. , , . . Page 2 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 ~ - .. 28 Oct 2000 Bills Payable Page 1 Sat 10: 13 PM City of St, Joseph .
