Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities
REPRESENTING OVER HALF A MilLION PEOPLE
February 4, 1997
Mayor Donald "Bud" Reber
P.O. Box 313
St. Joseph, MN 56374
Dear Mayor Reber:
On behalf of the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities, I would like to offer you a chance to
experience the benefits of membership in our city organization on a trial basis.
The Coalition is a non-profit advocacy organization representing 58 cities located outside of the
Twin Cities metropolitan area. We focus our advocacy activity in areas of particular concern to
. Greater Minnesota cities: Local Government Aid and property taxes; annexation and land-use
issues; Minnesota Pollution Control Agency wastewater regulations and fees; and labor relations.
We do not duplicate the efforts of other associations. We concentrate on research and analysis
of the issues, and provide important information our members can't get from other sources.
We would like the city of St. Joseph to consider joining the Coalition, but before you decide, we
would like you to share in the benefits. Could we add you to our membership list for mailings
and faxes until January 1, 19987 Here is what you'll get, at no cost to the city:
· Capitol Faxes containing up-to-date information and analysis on key legislative issues
faxed to your city manager for distributing to your city council and appropriate
department heads;
· Special mailings containing information on how property tax reform proposals affect
your city and your taxpayers; and
· Invitations to attend all Coalition events, like our annual conference scheduled for Aug.
6-8 in Detroit Lakes; membership meetings, seminars, and lobbying activities.
I firmly believe my city has benefitted greatly from membership and participation in the
Coalition, and I believe St. Joseph also would benefit.
. The only thing we ask for this trial membership is that your city manager distribute to your city
~-------------~- --.J__________~~

council the Capitol Fax and other relevant materials we send you, and that you give Coalition
officials a chance to meet with you and the council to discuss membership sometime this
summer.
I or another member of the Coalition will call you soon to answer any questions you may have
and ask if we can add you to our membership list on a trial basis. Also, I am enclosing the
CGMC brochure, a recent Capitol Fax, the Coalition's "Views at a Glance" which we send to
legislators and media, and a summary of our main legislative policy positions. Thank you for
your consideration and I look forward to speaking with you about joining the CGMC.
Sincerely,

CAPITOL FAX
Governor's budget In his budget, Gov. Arne Carlson proposed eliminating the growth in
released; attacks cities Local Government Aid beginning with aids payable in 1998. His stated
rationale was that "continued growth in Local Government Aid...
contributes to the lack of accountability in our system of local aids, and
makes real local fInance reform even more unlikely." In response to
questions from reporters regarding property taxes, Carlson denounced
LGA specifically, saying that it has been studied to death and proven to
increase spending to the point that some cities get 70 to 80 percent of
their budgets in LGA. He also condemned the current distribution of
aid, saying it produces wide variations in the price of local services, and
that the state must reform the way it fmances local services and correct
the wide disparity in tax rates among different kinds of property .
Statewide As expected, the issue of statewide comprehensive planning will be
comprehensive debated in 1997. The Land Stewardship Project recently hosted a
planning under debate meeting with legislators and interest groups to discuss their proposal.
Annexation Committee members have been sent the summary; any other
. interested CGMC members can get the summary; call Diane Koebele at
612.225.8840. Rep. Joe Gpatz, St. Cloud, plans to introduce a different
comprehensive planning bill soon; stay tuned for analysis. Also, Rep.
Ann Rest, chair of the House local government committee, plans to
appoint a subcommittee to address the statewide planning issue.
Tax increment At the suggestion of Flaherty & Koebele and Gary Neumann of
financing seminar Rochester, the League of Minnesota Cities, CGMC, Minnesota
planned for Association of Small Cities, and the Association of Metropolitan
VVednesday,Jan.29 Municipalities, are jointly hosting an educational seminar for legislators
on tax increment fmancing. The seminar will be held at 3:30 p.m.,
Wednesday, Jan. 29. If you have any questions, call Diane Koebele.
Labor Relations The W orId Wide Website for the Labor Relations Committee is up and
Committee launched running. Fifteen cities have joined and can participate in labor issues
on the VV eb discussions via the internet; committee members have secured access to
sample labor relations policies. All CGMC members can look up the
site at www.flaherty-koebele.comllrc for links to summaries of labor
bills as they are introduced at the Legislature. For more information call
Chris Hood at F&K, 612.225.8840.
CGMC Membership The CGMC has formed a Membership Committee, headed by Mankato
. Committee seeking City Council President Kathleen Sheran, to recruit new city members;
recruits the list of targeted cities is attached. Cities are offered a trial
membership. City officials who may have contacts in any of the cities,
or who may want to add a city for recruiting, should call Tim Flaherty.

SUBJECT: ENCLOSED MATERIAL RELATIVE TO:
NATIONAL POLICE WEEK IN WASHINGTON D.C. &
NATIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT MEMORIAL, WASHINGTON D.C.
DEAR KEN,
ENCLOSED IS SOME OF THE FIRST OFFICIAL INFORMATION I
HAVE RECEIVED IN RELATIONSHIP TO NATIONAL POLICE WEEK IN
WASHINGTON D.C.
AS YOU MAY BE AWARE, BRIAN KLINEFELTER'S NAME AND OUR
DEPARTMENT WILL BE PLACED ON THE NATIONAL MEMORIAL IN
WASHINGTON D.C.. HONORING ALL OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY IN 1996.
.. LAST YEAR PRESIDENT CLINTON AND U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL
JANET RENO ATTENDED AND SPOKE AT THE DEDICATION, I IMAGINE
THEY WILL AGAIN THIS YEAR AS WELL.
I HAVE COMPLETED THE NECESSARY PAPER WORK, AND
DOCUMENTATION TO HAVE BRIAN'S NAME QUALIFIED AND ENTERED AS
AN OFFICIAL LINE OF DUTY DEATH AND PLACED ON THE MEMORIAL.
A QUESTION IS, AND MAYBE ONE FOR THE PERSONNEL
COMMITTEE, OR COUNCIL FOR THAT MATTER IS? WILL THE CITY
REIMBURSE, OR HELP REIMBURSE FOR MY COSTS TO ATTEND THIS, AND
REPRESENT OUR DEPARTMENT AND CITY. AT THIS IMPORTANT EVENT?
I REALIZE AND BELIEVE THE CITY DOES AS WELL, THIS IS AN
EXTRAORDINARY FUNCTION AND MAYBE SOMETHING NOT COVERED BY A
SPECIFIC CITY POLICY.
IN THE EVENT THE ANSWER IS YES, WE WANT REPRESENTATION
THE NEXT QUESTION WOULD BE WHAT IS TO BE PAID FOR AND HOW
MUCH. TO THIS END, I WOULD OFFER THE FOLLOWING: IT IS
NATIONAL POLICE WEEK WITH VARIOUS ACTIVITIES, FUNCTIONS AND
TRAINING THROUGHOUT. RATHER THAN THE CITY PAYING A "FULL
BOAT" AND ALL OF THE EXPENSES, I WOULD OFFER THAT I TAKE THE
WEEK OFF DUTY AND THE CITY, IN EFFECT, NOT PAYING MY WAGES.
IN ADDITION I WOULD PAY FOR MY OWN MEALS. A WEEKS WAGES AND
MEAL REIMBURSEMENT WOULD EQUAL NEARLY $1,000.00. IF THE CITY
PAID FOR MY AIR FARE AND HOTEL THIS WOULD ALSO EQUAL NEARLY
1, øøø. øø, AND WE WOULD SHARE AN EQUITABLE SPLIT OF THE COSTS
JNVOLVED. ALTHOUGH THERE WOULD BE 'MONEY IN THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT BUDGET UNDER TRAVEL & TRAINING TO COVER THE ENTIRE
. COSTS INVOLVED, I BELIEVE A MORE FAIR SPLIT IS OUTLINED
ABOVE.
IN KEEPING WITH MY COMMITMENT WITH YOU TO BE FAIR AND
AS UP FRONT AS POSSIBLE. I HAVE ALREADY COMMITTED TO BOTH
BRIAN'S AND WENDY'S FAMILIES THAT I INTEND TO ATTEND THIS
.

EVENT AND REPRESENT OUR DEPARTMENT, THE CITY, AND BRIAN WITH
AND BY THE FAMILIES, DURING THIS WEEK. I HONESTLY DO NOT
KNOW HOW WE OR I COULD NOT PARTICIPATE AND SHOW RESPECT FOR
BRIAN'S SACRIFICE TO THE COMMUNITY. TO THIS END, AND IN THE
EVENT THE COUNCIL WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM WITH, OR WISH TO NOT
REIMBURSE FOR ANY OF THIS. I WOULD AND WILL GLADLY PAY FOR
THE COSTS INVOLVED.
I HAVE ATTACHED SOME OF THE CORRESPONDENCE I HAVE
RECEIVED RELATIVE TO THIS~ AND ALSO ENCLOSED IS SOMETHING
I LEARNED DEPARTMENTS/CITIES DO FOR ON THE DAY OF THE
DEDICATION. THAT IS TO HAVE A FLORAL ARRANGEMENT AT WHERE
THE NAME OF THE OFFICER APPEARS ON THE MEMORIAL. I WOULD
SUGGEST THE $150.00 SILK FLOWERS.
