The purpose of this special meeting was to arrive at an acceptable cost sharing formula for the upcoming West Metro EIS. Attached to this memorandum you will find the cost sharing formula that was agreed to at this meeting. On August 1 st¡ the Steams County Board of Commissioners approved their expenditure identified in this formula. It is requested that the remaining- local jurisdictions participating- in the West Metro Study also approve their respective expenditures, as identified in the proposed formula, so the EIS . process can begin.

Heimenz & City Council Members City of St. Joseph 21 First Avenue NW St. Joseph, MN 56374 Dear Mayor Heimenz and Council Members: Seren Innovations, Inc. wishes to obtain a non-exclusive cable franchise in the City of St. Joseph as evidenced by our previously submitted Cable Television Franchise Application. . In requesting the franchise, Seren was informed by the City that the incumbent cable operator has "donated" $10,000 to the City towards video production equipment, and that the City asks that Seren make a similar donation. Seren wishes to point out to the City that when the incumbent began operation in the City, it had 100 percent of the customer base. If granted a franchise, Seren will come to town with a zero base - in other words, we will start offering our service in St. Joseph with no customers. We are in a situation in which we must "take" customers from the incumbent's subscriber base. If the incumbent's subscriber penetration is 70 percent of the homes passed, Seren expects to acquire approximately 35 percent of that base. In understanding this, Seren believes that our percentage of responsibility to be less than the incumbent's "donation." Seren believes that in bringing our services of high-speed Internet, more than 230 channels of cable programming and local and long-distance telephone service, we enhance the City's appeal to high technology businesses which will be a substantial boost to the City's economic development efforts. We also bring lower cost, enhanced services and choice to the community. . ~T :\ '\ by S8ren ~ InnovatIons r I , . . City of St. Joseph July 14, 2000 Page Two In a good faith response to the City's requests, Seren is prepared to offer the following: · Seren is in the process of requesting the carriage of the St. Cloud Area Community Schools (District 742) educational channel to our St. Joseph customers. · We will be installing cable in the new City Hall and the Fire Hall to allow cable casting from either site, enabling the City to cablecast live or taped program over the network. · We also wish to enhance the video production capability by providing either a character generator or a digital telephone bridge to the City to receive and cablecast telephone questions over the City Council ct:Jannel. This decision will be left to the City. We look forward to the award of a non-exclusive cable franchise to Seren to allow us to offer your community members Astound services in early 200l. .

This is to provide 8 pennanent visual record of the pipe condition and locatîbn of a11 service lines. I did not, however, have this included in the contract for the Business Park and Joseph Street I simply missed it as the plans and specifications were being developed. I think it should still be done to provide 8 Continuous record of our sanitary sewer installations. Dick Taufen and I would also like to dean and televise the IS-inch sanitaty sewer installed for DBL labs in 1992; this is the sewer line that the Business Park and Joseph Street drain into. I have discussed this with Infratech, the company that will be doing the televising in the downtown area, and they have agreed to add this work to their contract if approved by the City Council. The televising would be at the same unit cost of $0.50 per foot, regardless of pipe size. The cleaning of the existing 15- inch line would be at $0.75 pet foot, which is higher than the unit price of $0.65 per foot for the . downtown area because it is a J~ger diameter pipe. The total projected costs would be as follows: Business Park: Televise 4200 feet of 8" and 10" pipe @ S0.50 per foot = S2t 100.00 Joseph Street: Televise 1600 feet of 15" pipe @ SO.50 per foot = $800.00 Exi~g Sewer: Televise 2050 feet of 15" pipe @ $0.50 per foot = $1,025.00 Clean 2050 feet of 15" pipe @ $.75 per foot = $1,537.50 Total $2,562.00 I will be present to discuss this issue with you at the August 17, 2000 City Council meeting.

For the homes and apartments along County Road 121, approximately 60 percent of the respondents meet the eligibility requirements. Thjs is well above the minimum 50 percent required. The respondents along 29Sth Street and 103rd Avenue did not qualify. I hope to have the actual numbers for you at the Council Meeting on August 17th. ; The results for County Road i21 are excellent. Our grant writer discussed the project with the Department of Trade and ~nomic Development (DTED) which administers the Small City Development Program (SCDP)~ and was told we have a very competitive project. DTED liked the mix of rental units and single (amily homes, and also liked the fact that the City and County were both involved in the project 'Q1e next step, if you wish to proceed, is to submit a Comprehensive Grant Application. Grants are available up to 1.4 million dollars, and would apply to housing rehab for those who qualify, includirig the apartments, and to the sanitary sewer and water installation. This application must be submitted by October 1, 2000 to make us eligible for funding next year. . The grant application is a considerable- amount of work and we would ask to be compensated in the amount of $5,000 for this effø~ which would cover most of our costs. This is a competitive submittal so we cannot guaran* success, but DTED has indicated we have a good chance of being successful if we choose to pro¢eed. I will be at the City Council meeting on August 17> 2000 to discuss this issue. Thank you and please call if you have any questions. Sincerely, ~ ,j6~ f".~ Joseph R. Bettendorf, P.E.

OFFICER OBSERVATION/ACTION: 0 Dispatch advised us that they did get the name of the complainant, however they wished to remain anonymous. a After being dispatched to the call, Officer Gustin responded to the north side (back) of the' residence and as I came in on 3n1 Ave NE from Minnesota Ave. . 0 As I turned on to 3n1 Ave NE from Minnesota I heard someone yell from the area we were . responding to. 0 As I was pulling up to the residence I noted'that there were still lights on inside the house. CJ This allowed me to see several people inside the residence. "- , , I - OFFICER OBSER V A TIONI ACTION: . D I noticed that some of the individuals inside the residence were holding plastic beer cups filled with a brown/tan liquid. D I also noticed several people on the eastside of the residence standing on the steps. D These individuals were also holding plastic beer cups. D As I was standing on Ash St in front of the residence I could hear the people standing on the east steps talking very loudly and yelling at times. D I estimate the total number of people present at the residence to be from 15-20. D As I then walked through the ITont yard the front door of the residence opened. D When the door was open, I could hear a loud music coming from living room area. D I then walked to the eastside of the residence and met with Officer Gustin who had walked from the back. D Officer Gustin told me that she could also hear the loud voices well off the property. D I then asked the group standing on the steps to get someone who rents the house. D Two males came forward and stated they were staying åt the house. D I identified the two by drivers license as Christopher Cyril Ducharme OS/22/78 and Anthony David Zimney 06/19/78. D I informed the two that they were in violation of the city's noise ordinance and that they would have to clear the party out. D As Officer Gustin and I were talking to Ducharme and Zimney, I noticed that most of the people present at the party went into the house and shut off the lights. D After speaking with Zimney and Ducharme it was unclear to me if they actually currently lived at the residence because they advised me that they were on the lease but not currently living at the house. . D I then told them to get any other people out of the house that currently lived there. D Two more males claimed to be living at the house but not on the lease. D They were Andrew Paul Lien 08/28/78 and Michael Anthony Jennings 06/19/75. D I also advised them that the house was found in violation of the noise ordinance. D I did also identify Kevin Michael Sullivan 06/07/78 who was standing with the others. D We then cleared the area. D I attempted to notify both the owner of the house as well as the manager of the house. D I left messages advising of the violation with both parties and finally did contact Tim Borresch. D Upon asking him for a current list of tenants he stated that they did not have one; D I have not received a current list as of the time of this report. D Several days later I did speak with the complainant regarding this violation. D She stated that she called the complaint in because the individuals were both talking loudly and she could hear their stereo inside her residence. D She also noted that it was 3:00 a.m. and she had kids trying to sleep. D The complainant did not want her name released and only gave it to dispatch because the , dispatcher seemed adamant at getting it. DISPOSITION: D Renters will be issued citation for noise violation as soon as I received verification ITom the property owner as to who they are. D Forward copy to City for Council meeting.

Tallman questioned the orange notification sign placed on the door discussing a second violation may result in license suspension or revocation. He was told the policy has been changed since the signs were printed although the signs get noticed as is the intent. Currently a first violation may result in a fine or license suspension or revocation. Ehlert discussed the lack of maintenance on the property, resulting in the City mowing the lawn.

Per our conversation, the following represents two (2) proposals in which City residents could benefit. 1.

(See brochure attached). 2. Switch the City to a standardized cart collection system of municipal solid waste (MSW). -BFI roll-out carts make a better appearance than assorted miscellaneous trash cans. -All carts have lids that securely shut to keep precipitation and pets/animals out. - Residents will rent carts from BFI. BFI in turn will maintain all carts and replace if any are broken. (See brochure attached).

Public response to the possibility of Sunday service has been very positive; however, the Great River Regional Library System's current budget is nof able to provide funding for the additional staff time ar¡d other related costs. The Great River Regional J ,ibrary Board has agreed to allow us to explore the feasibility of Sunday hours on a tria.l basis. We would like to begin such a trial this year, and we plan to approach the Great River Regional Library System with a pennanent funding request if the results are successful. The cost to fund a nine-month trial period is anticipated to be approximately $75,000. . We are proposing that the City o[St. Cloud and surrounding communities provide the. funds tor the trial period. Recent studies of circulation patterns indicate that about 30% of the St. Cloud Public Library bui1ding usage comes from residents of surrounding communities. A table showing representative shares for eaeh community is included with this mailing. We would like to meet with you and discuss your opinion of the Sunday service trial period, as well as your willingness t.o contribute a portion of the .necessary funding. We believe that Sunday hours at the St. Cloud Public Library will provide a real bcnelH to your citizens and we look forward to working with you to help make this pJ'oposal a reality. For planning purposes, we would appreciate a response lo this request by July 1. 20()(). Please feel free to contact me at 252-9972 if you have any questions. ç:innA~I~, . \ 07-28';'ØØ 18:33 STANGL JASKOWIAK LTD ID-1 320 253 4180 P .02~- "- Mayor and City Council Membe~: . Attached is a copy of the letter that was sent from the St. Clouù Library Board to you back in April of this year, The Library Board has not yt:t received a response to this letter, so I'm guessing thai it may have gotltm lost or misp1aced. I think the letter is pretty much self-explanatory. The City of St. Clouù has expressed a willingness to fund the Sunday hours experiment if the rest of the surrounding communities whose citizens use the library are also willing to contribute a portion of the funding. The funding fonnula has been developed by using Library patronage data records. Worksheets showing the calculation of costs for ~ch community arc enclosed. r bdieve the formula. allocates the costs reasonably among the 13 communities. Please understand that a commitment to funding for this trial period does not obligate you for future payments to St. Cloud if Sunday library hours become permanent. We wilt ask the Great River Regional LibmI')' System to fund the Sunday hours within thcir budget if the experiment is a success. I would like to meet with you to answer any questions you may have and to explain the trial project more completely. If you were to schedule this as an . agenda item at a future Council meeting, T would be glad to attend and bring any information you want. Please contact me amll~t me know what you think.

The August 10 event will feature two passenger cars on their way from the manufac- turer to the soon-to-be-opened Seattle Sounder commuter rail system. A limited number of tickets to ride the train have been distributed to the public. Those without tickets will still have the chance to walk through the trains and learn more about com- . muter rail at two Ice Cream Socials. The first will be in St. Cloud at 12:30 p.m. and the sec- ond in downtown Minneapolis at 4 p.m. The Minneapolis event will bëheld at the station site that will serve as a downtown hub for commuter rail, light rail, buses, cars and bikes. The train can also be seen when it makes sched- uled stops throughout the day (times and loca- tions listed at right). The cars, which will make Schedule of Train Demonstration and Events demonstration rides between Minneapolis and St. Cloud, are likely to be similar to those that will serve the Northstar Corridor, with two Destination: St. Cloud seating levels and a low floor to allow easy Noon - Depart Elk River - (north of Hwy. 10 on 171st Ave.) access from the platform to the train.

The Northstar Corridor took another major step forward when the Federal Transit Administration (FfA) recently approved the project to enter into the preliminary engineering phase. The move. allows the Northstar Corridor Development Authority (NCDA) and the Minnesota Department Transportation (MnlDOT) to continue planning for the proposed 80-mile commuter rail line extending from the St. Cloud/Rice area to downtown Minneapolis. The preliminary engineering phase involves the design of various elements of the project, up to 30 percent of completion. For the Northstar Corridor, this will include engineering of stations, rail improvements, park-and-ride facilities and train maintenance facilities. Minnesota's public officials remain solidly behind the Northstar Corridor commuter rail project. Gov. Jesse Ventura, MnlDOT and the Metropolitan Council all have declared that the Northstar Corridor will be the state's first commuter rail line. Equally important, Minnesota's congressional delegation, including Reps. James Oberstar, Martin Sabo and Sen. Rod Grams continue to champion this project in Congress and provide needed federal funds. The environmental review process also continues to make progress. A draft Environmental Impact Statement is expected to be released at the end of August and will be followed by public hearings. Look for more information about these public meetings in late August on our Web site at www.northstartrain.org. The Northstar Corridor is the fastest growing region in the state. Total estimated capital cost to build commuter rail in the corridor is $231 million. The Northstar Commuter Rail Facts & Figures .

As a former landlord, still trying to collect from students the fees imposed on me, I wish to voice my · concern. The recent events or noise violations (back to back) that the City had to deal with are prime examples of the issue I would like to address. It should be obvious that by using me as an example and the fines I received does little or nothing to keep students from "misbehaving." It is due time for the City to recognize these students as young adults living on their own and should hold them responsible for their own actions. By imposing fines on the students directly is the onlv way to control their actions and make them think twice about what they are doing. I would highly suggest imposing every fine possible including arresting any students supplying alcohol to minors even if the police don't catch them selling to minors. Legally a landlord has little recourse against the private activities that students choose to pursue in their own home unless there is documentation of misconduct from police or city authorities. Only then can a landlord begin the process of obtaining an eviction order. In my case, with no priors in six years of ownership, I was fined near the maximum and left with little opportunity to correct the problem. Therefore landlords need the police reports and the City's involvement to document these violations and if the landlord seeks an eviction notice the · City must realize that things may get worse in the remaining 30 days the . tenants legally have to vacate the premises. If you read a "renters rights" . pamphlet you will find that tenants are overly protected making an eviction order difficult to obtain. Landlords are even required to store property for renters for 90 days after they move out in case they forgot or wish to claim something. There is very little I agree with there but they are rules nonetheless. You have rules and regulations too, I know. But are they persecuting the right people? Ask yourselves that as you think about hOt'" I could have better invested $1150.00 for my child's future. I only hope that in the future the City of St. Joseph can adopt some provisions or ordinances that hold students fully responsible for their actions. I often have wondered whether if, in fact, it is simply easier for the City to fine the landlords (and hope they recoup the fines) rather than being bold enough to face the students and their family connections to collect fines that should have been imposed on the students to begin with. If you want to get tough, get tough with the right wrongdoers that spend their money on alcohol, instead of the landlords that rely on their rental income to better their family's future. I don't believe that it is a landlord's or property owner's duty to baby sit their tenants. Are we truly teaching these young people to be responsible citizens of a community by holding someone else accountable for their . actions? Unfortunately, the City and the landlords view each other as the opposition. When, in fact, the City of St. Joseph and the landlords should be working together, as partners, to address this issue. In order to achieve that relationship shift the responsibility to those creating the problems. Sincerely, "---:-1 )X {../ . , .

At its annual summer conference,on July 28 in International Falls, the full CGMC membership approved the 2000 assessment policy. The general assessment rates and the voluntary assessment for economic· development are unchanged from last year, but a new voluntary contribution of 13¢ per capita is recommended to increase funding for the annexation program. The 2000 general assessment for the City of St. Joseph $5,934 The 2000 voluntary assessment for the CGMC economic development program (if you choose to participate) $641 The 2000 voluntary assessment t() increase funding for the CGMC annexation program (if you choose to participate) $641 If you choose to participate, add one or both of the voluntary assessments to the general assessment and send in one check. Payment may by made out of your 2000 or 2001 budgets, but payment should be made by February 1,2001. Some cities have been paying their assessments for annexation and environment out of their utility funds because of the direct impact of these issues on their sewer and water service. Approximately $68~ of your general assessment can be attributed to CGMC's environmental program and $807 to the annexation program. .

July 31, 2000 Mr. Mark Lambert, President Summit Management, Inc. 101 East Fifth Street, Suite 910 St. Paul, MN 55101-1808 Dear Mark: We, Jody Terhaar, Jim Hardwick, Brother Isaac Connolly and I, met to discuss your proposal for replacement housing in St. Joseph. We believe we discussed your proposal, the housing study that was completed in St. Joseph, the role of the City Council, and the future housing plans of the college and university in depth to come to a conclusion. I will try to summarize our considerations. The College of Saint Benedict will be adding 33 beds this fall. There are future renovations being planned that will result in additional beds on campus in the two or . three years after this year. St. John's University has 30 new beds on campus this fall and will be constructing a large residence hall on campus for fall, 2001. Additional overseas programs are being added which will take students off the campuses and you know that the colleges do not plan to significantly increase the size of the student body. We also discussed that we believe our present high enrollments are not likely to be sustained long into the future. You also know that our long-term goal is to have as many students living on campus as possible. Considering all the above, we don't believe it is in the best interests of the college at this time to enter into an exclusive agreement with any landlord in the city. We were supportive of the moratorium and housing study the city conducted. We believe it is the role of the city to determine housing needs and solutions in line with their city planning and that the college should not be the determining factor in those decisions. The college and university do support the idea of limiting student housing in the city and we also support the ~ of housing you propose. We always have been and continue to value the existing housing you have in St. Joseph and the policies you enforce. We have also valued your strong cooperation with the colleges and are grateful to you for that. We also had a discussion to evaluate the monthly meetings we have been having with you, the police, mayor, council members and representatives from the colleges and monastery. Originally, as I understand from persons in student development who have been here longer than myself, the intent was to have a representative from the Landlords' . Association meet monthly with the group from the city and colleges. We will be asking , Lambert -2- July 31, 2000 . Cad Schmidt to request the Landlords' Association to appoint or elect someone to meet with us. I don't know what your involvement with the Association is but you may wish to make your desire known to be that representative. There were several times at our meeting when appreciation was expressed for your willingness and cooperative spirit in working with us in the past. We believe we have made significant progress over the years in improving the attitudes and practices with students, city officials and residents to make living in this town easier and more peaceful. Thank you for your part in making this happen.

Our intent is to discuss recent ordinances enacted by Moose Lake and Duluth to determine if something like this is appropriate for our city. Weare inviting all of our sister cities to · participate along with members of the hospitality industry, convention services, and health advocates. Weare very aware that the issue has economic and political components as well as health implications. Therefore, we feel that participation by all of the groups affected will lead to a community wide solution that can be useful for all. As I stated before, this is a non-binding endeavor for your community but we will value your participation. The St. Cloud contingent will make a recommendation at the task force conclusion for our City Council action. We have scheduled the first meeting of the task force on Tuesday, August 22, 2000 at 7:00 p.m. in Conference Room 1, St. Cloud City Hall. As the staff support for the group I will provide you with examples of ordinances, existing statutes and other material before the first meeting. I anticipate about three meetings in the next two months to come to a reasonable conclusion and recommendation. Please contact me at your convenience if you wish to participate.
