CITY OF SAINT PAUL
2000 LEGISLATIVE BONDING PROPOSALS
Title: Achievement Plus Johason/York
Department/Office: Mayor's Office/Saint Paul Public Schools
StaffContact: Mike CampbelUMary K. Boyd Phone: 266-8537/293-5150
T. Explain this proposal
$5.2 millian is requested to fill the gap due to cost overruns for the Achievement Plus
Johnson/York project. In November of 1997 the Achievement Plus Partners made a proposal to
convert the old Johnson High School located on 740 York into a new Achievement Plus
elementary school. The original estimate of the project was $14.4 million, not including the East
Side XMCA. It is now estimated that the entire project will cost $19.6 million.
The cost overruns are attributable to acquiring 6 more properties than originally anticipated,
higher than anticipated acquisition and relocations costs, and a significant increase in construction
costs due to a rarified construction environment.
II, What are advantages of this proposal
The $5.2 million would allow for the completion of the project. Without the funding, it is
doubtful that Achievement Plus 7ohnson{York will be completed on schedule.
III. Identify known support
The City of Saint Paul, Saint Paul Public Schoois, Ramsey County and the Wilder Foundation.
IV. Identify known opposition to this proposal
V. None

740 York/Achievement Plus Cost History
In November 1991, the Achievement Plus Partners made a proposal to
convert the old Johnson Senior High School (740 York) into a new
Achievement Plus elementary school. Based on our best understanding of the
program, it was estimated that the entire project would cost .4 million,
not including the East Side - A. It is now estimated th t e sa e project
will cost appro�rimately 2 4 'llion. This increase o$7 ' on, which
constitutes our recent request or capital bonding, is attrib a to umber / � /
of important factors in uhat ha amounted to an urban renewal project � L t/
evolved through the design proces These factors are enumerated below:
��9• �n✓
• The site configuration has changed. Originally, we
anticipated acquiring 55 properties at an average cost of
�v60,�00.00. The final acquisition and relocation costs average
about $51,300.00 for 61 properties. Not only has the site
expanded, but the expansion has occurred in the "most expensive
direction". Because of our negotiation and coilaboration with the
neighborhood, it was decided that the YMCA should be built on
the east side of 740 York with all parking appro�cimately 20-30
feet below the York Avenue street level and all access from the
east, off of Arcade. Because of the drastic changes in terrain, this
has proven to be a very expensive civil engineering venture, but
meets the neighborhood needs by reducing traffic in the
residential area. It is also arguable that had we decided to
simply construct a gynuiasium, the acquisition of the property
would not have inc7uded approximately 26 properties and partial
vacation of Wells and Weide Streets. The acquisition and
relocation associated with these 26 properties contributed
approximately two million doliars to the cost of the project, not
inciuding the engineering of the building, parking lot and
driveway into the hillside.
• The acquisition and relocation costs are far higher than
anticipated. The actual costs are appro�mately $1.6 million
more than originally estimated due to two important factors:
1. The real estate market is extremely strong and has
increased t�e value of the properties acquired and the
v� .ue of the replacement housing. It is well established
*�st within approximately the last year or more a per�..0
wishing to purchase a home must generally offer the full
asking price — and often more — in order to secure the
1
property. This is a reflection of a healthy, vibrant �� ��
economy but it is clearly a seller's market, and the school
district, as a condemning public agency, has had to pay
this additional cost.
2. The rental market has been equally strong with vacancy
rates in the range of one to two percent; landlords have
been able to increase their rents and be very selective
about tenants. Because, quite frankly, several of the
tenants with whom we were dealing had less than
perfect rental records and financial' situations, it was
� ery difficult and often very expensive to place these
tenants in apartments or homes. This has now been
accomplished but at a significantly higher cost than
anticipated and often under the suspices of "last-resort
housing." A total of 56 tenants have been relocated.
• Construction costs have increased sigaificaatly. The
construction market has been extremely robust over the past few
years. During this past ye�r, it has become exceedingly difficult to
accurately estimate the construction cost of buildings. This is a
reflection of the very busy construction environment when many
contractors, and especially subcontractors and suppliers, have their
choice of several projects and have therefore escalated their costs
significantly. Delays in delivery of materials and shortage of skilled
workers have been frustrating many building owners as they try to
anticipate costs and stay on schedule. The Saint Paul Public Schools
has experienced this volatile market on many projects, and on some
projects we have even failed to attract a bid because contractors are
so busy.
It should be noted that our current estimate of $7 million in excess costs is an
estimate at this point, and by mid-October, we should have the final bids for
the renovation of the building. (We have already let contracts for asbestos
abatement, window replacement, building demolition, house demolition and
site grading.) 4Ve are hopeful that the bids will not come in as high as
anticipated, but the best advice we are receiving from our consultants is to be
prepared for the worst.

CITY OF SAINT PAUL
2000 LEGISLATIVE BONDING PROPOSALS
Title: Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Headquarters and Laboratory
Departmend0ffice: Minnesota Department of Public SafetyBCA
StaffContact: Frank Ahrens/N'icholas V. O'Hara Phone:651-296-9484b51-642-0600
I. Explain this proposal
The BCA is not able to adequately perform its responsibilities in its current facility. It has
outgrown its current 78,000 square foot headquarters even though the building has undergone
multiple modifications since 1963. BCA programs and personnel are projected to require 227,000
square feet by the year 2009. This bonding request is for $62 million to construct a new BCA
facility on a 7-acre site in Saint Paul located at the corner of Maryland and Prosperity.
II. What are advantages of tt►is proposal
Not funding this project will severely curtail the ability of the BCA to service the law enforcement
community. Cunent turn-around time for forensic evidence is prolonged because of the cramped
conditions and the subsequent inabitity to hire more scientists. Without a new facility, response
time delays will result in slower criminal investigations, slowed prosecution, and delayed
resolution for victims.

Why does the BCA need a new facility?
The BCA u not abie to adequately perform iu responsib�7iries in iu currenc facility.
The BCA. bas oncgrown ics nsrrenL 78,000 squaze foot headquarcers even though che
buildirag �ias undergone multiple modificarions since 1963. BCA pm�rams and personnel
are pro}etted to require 227,000 square feec by the yeaz 2009.
What wzll happen if this projeet is not funded?
Not funding this pzoject will severely curcail rhe ability of che BC�4 co sesvice the law
enforcement community. Current rum-azound time for forensic evidence is grQlonged
because o# cramped condirions and che subsequens inabiliry to hire more scientists,
Wichouc a new facility, response time delays will zesulc in slowu auninal invescigations,
slawed prosecuuons, and delayed resolution for victims.
Has the BCA considered expansion at its current location?
The pre-design addressed this issue and deceinained that escpansion on the cvrrent site is
not ecouomically feasibie ar operaxionally pracrical.
What is the status of the project?
The pre-deu� was compleced in Juty of 1997. The Laws of 199$, Chapcer 404, Secrion
13, Subdivssion 11, grovided 53,815,000 co design and acquire a sice in Sc. Pau1. The
design documents were completed in June 1999. A 7-acre site has been selecced on the
comez of Mazytand and Prosperiry in Sc. Paul. Ciry, HRA and five of six residenrial
properries have been purchased. Real Estate Management is in negoriauons wirh rhe sixth
residence.
:� . � �
The Laws of 1999, Chapter 216, Arade i, Section 19, appropriated 53,554,000 to complete
design documencs and site prepararion for rhis new facilicy. The projea uchiteets aze
currenrly working with The Leonard Pazker Associates on che design development which

is estunaced to be completed in mid-Oaober,1999. Co�smuaon documen.0 w�ll be
complered byJune of 2000.
Why is the square footage cost of this facility so high2
A major poraon of this faciticy is a forensic scieace laboratory. Laborawries cost more to
build than office space. . A compazison of other crime laboratories built arouad the
councry sance 1994 have averaged about �219/square foot. 'fhe Biomedical bu�7ding at
rhe U of M wi71 cost about 5272lsquare foo�. The currenc consuucaon cost is esrimated
co be 554,000,000 = 227,000 square feet = 5238/square foot.
Have we considered co-location with other agencies or laboratories?
The issue of sharing lab space vrith other agencies hu been discussed numerous times
starang several years ago when the Health Deparrment was considering a new bulding.
Each time che conclvsion has been thac the benefits of cosc effiaency would be
outweighed by the risk of evidence being compromised. The pre-design document covers
rlus subjea in more detail.
What will happen if the project is not funded at the level requested?
' The projea would be delayed due co rhe need to redesign aud Iess funding wouki prevent
`. � the BCA from buiiding a fac.ilitywith any grownc �apaary.

CITY OF SAINT PAUL
2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: Ramsey County Law Enforcement Center
DepartmentlOffice: Ramsey County
Staff Contact: Nick Riley Phone: 651-266-8632
L Explain this proposal
$15 million is requested in state bonds to assist with financing the new Ramsey County Law
Enforcement Campus. The project will address Ramsey County's substantial jail overcrowding
crisis and make significant contributions to riverfront economic development initiative. The LEC
will replace the existing river bluffAdult Detention Center and the Jail Annex located at the Saint
Paul Police Headquarters. This wiil enable private development of the existing Adult Detention
Center for a non-criminal justice use consistent with the initiatives to redevelop the riverfront in
Saint Paui.
The cost of the LEC pro}ect is estimated to be at least $51 million. Ramsey County would be
matching the state bond dollars by more than two to one. The $51 million estimate is a County
staff estimate for a facility that provides significant improvements to the criminal justice system;
however, detailed discussions about co-locating additional agencies, such as offices for Public
Defenders and court staffare continuing, and could increase the size ofthe project.

CITY OF SAINT PAUL
2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: Housing
Lead Agency: Various
L Eaplain this proposal
Quality housing is a major component of healthy vibrant neighborhoods. Saint Paul supports
initiatives which provide increased funding for housing and housing rehabilitation and which make
housing programs and dollars more fle�ble and•accessible. The 1999 session proved successful in
an additional $45 million appropriated for housing in the state of Minnesota. As a consequence,
no new, major housing initiatives are planned for the 2000 session while the new state dollazs are
being spent. However, Saint Paul supports two important initiatives for the 2000 legislative
session.
Elimination of the 6.5% sates tax on materials, supplies and furnishings on affordable
housing.
Continuation of the Livable Communities Act.
II, What are advantages of this proposal
Eliminating the sales t� on affordable housing reduces the cost of construction by an estimated
3% thereby making it less expensive to provide housing.
Continuation of the Livable Communities Act enacted in 1995 wiil provide stimulation for
housing, economic and community development in the metropolitan area. This act permits cities
to access about $I 1 million in funding for pollution clean-up, housing and redevelopment.

CI'TY OF SAINT PAUL
2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: State-wide Criminal Database
Department/Office: Mayor's Office
StaffContact: Mike Campbell Phone: 651-266-8537
I. Explain this proposal
The existing Criminal History Records Database maintained by the Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension is de&cient. A 1998 study by the Minnesota Planning Agency identi&ed the
following problems:
• Many jurisdictions do not paRicipate in the database system, thus preventing information
from flowing across county and municipal boundaries;
• It takes an average of 51 to 75 days for data to be entered;
• On1y 51% of all final court dispositions aze entered into the system;
• 37% of all criminal cases are held in a non-accessible "suspense file" due to data errors.
Saint Paul recommends creating a state-wide criminal database system that is updated in a timely
fashion, requires universal participation, and is accessible to law enforcement agencies at the local
level. In addition, increased communication between local jurisdictions is of utmost importance.
Mechanisms should be created that will allow for ]ocai jurisdictions to gather criminal background
infoanation across jurisdictions to provide law enforcement with the information necessary to
adequately prosecute criminals.
Saint Paui supports all legislation and efforts, such as the state-funded pilot project taking place in
Hennepin County, that would facilitate the gathering and use of criminai background information
to assist law enforcement in the prosecution of criminal suspects.
II. What are advantages of this proposal
Because of the problems with the current database system, prosecutors and police suffer the
disadvantage of inadequate information necessary to successfully prosecute criminals. The
inabiiity of police agencies to easily obtain arrest and conviction data is the greatest deterrent to
proper prosecution of criminais. Creating a state-wide database that provides law enforcement
updated criminal histories would be an important and potent tool in the battle against crime and
violence.

SAINT PAUL CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS CALL FOR IMMEDIATE
IMPROVEMENTS TO STATE CRIMIi�AL HISTORY RECORDS DATABASE
Saint Paul City Council Members Mike Harris and Jerry Blakey today called on Governor Jesse Ventura to take
immediate steps to improve the State's criminal history records database. In a letter to the governor, the rivo said
that a lack of timely, accurate and complete information is preve�ting local governments from effectively combatine
gun violence and other violent crimes.
During a City Council discussion on gun violence last month, Harris and Blakey leamed that the Criminal Histor�
Records Database system, which is maintained and operated by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, is deficient.
A 1998 study by the Minnesota Planning Agency identified the following problems:
� many jurisdictions do not participate in the da*.•.'�z .. system, thus preventin� information from
flowing across county and municipal boundaries;
• it takes an avera�e of 51 to 75 days for data to be entered;
• only 51 % of all final court dispositions are entered into the system; and
• 37% of all criminal cases aze held in a non-accessible "suspense file" due to data errors.
Law enforcement officials and prosecutors told the City Council last month that a lack of criminal history
information can (ead to suspects being insufficiently charged and, in some cases, insufficiently sentenced. Man}
state and federal weapons laws allow for enhanced chazges and sanctions against crimina]s who have prior criminal
records.
A study done by the Saint Paul Ciry Attomey's office found '�at neazly half of all suspect; atrested for weapons
charges during 1996-97 were charged with lesser crimes than were possible or were not chazged at all. Errors in
many of these cases were attributed to a lack of information about sLSpects' criminal records from other Minnesota
counties.
"In this `information age' it is unacceptable to maintain a database system that does not give local governments all
of the information they need to fisht violent crime," said Harris. "IYs possible for someone in Saint Paul to get on
the Intemei and find out whether a library book is overdue in Minneapolis. But in many cases our police and
prosecutors cannot readily find oui if someone has committed a violent crime in Minneapolis."
"Our police tell us that they ofren know who aze committing these crimes and that theyjust need the information to
put them away," said Blakey. "Many of the same criminals are perpetratins gun violence in our community over
and oti�er again. At the local level, we need support from the state to protect our residents from the detrimental
effects of gun violence."

Dear Govemor Ventura,
In September, the Saint Paul City Council heid an informationai policy session on gun violence and illegal gun
trafficking. Representatives from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fireanns (ATF), the Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension (BCA), the Saini Paul City Attomey's Office as well as Todd Jones, United States Attomey,
Susan Gaertner, Ramsey County Attorney and Bill Finney, the Saint Paul Chief of Police all described their
agencies' efforts at controlling gun violence through arrests, prosecution and gun tracing.
Each presenter identified the lack of information sharing beriveen agencies as a major impediment to their efforts
to fight gun violence. In Minnesota, law enforcement agencies have difficulty in effectively checking the criminal
background of suspects across jurisdictions within thirty-six hours of an arrest. As a result, many suspects �t ho
have prior convictions in other counties are not being sufficiently chazged.
A siudy conducted by the Saint Paul City Attorney's Office (CAO) of 276 weapons cases that they prosecuted in
1996-97 found that charging errors were made in nearly half of all cases (see Attachment A). Many suspects
who were arrested were charged with lesser crimes than were possible or were not chazged at a11. These esors
were attributed to two primary factors: (i) a lack of grosecutor knowledge of existing weapons laws and (2) a
lack of accessible information on suspects' criminal histories. Since 1997, the CAO has made extensive efforts
to educate prosecutors on weapons laws. However, a lack of criminal history information remains a problem.
A September 1998 study done by Minnesota Plannin; highlighted deficiencies in the BCA's Computerized
Criminai History Records database (see Attachment B). For instance, as of 1996, it took 51 days for arrest data
and 75 days for conviction data to be entered into ihe system. Furthermore, many counties and jurisdictions do
not currently provide arrest and conviction data to the system. In fact, only 51 % of all final court dispositions
were entered into the system. Most troubling is the fact that 37% of all criminal records are held in a"suspensz
file." This file contains records that are not entered into the database because conviction data cannot be linked to
arrest data.
At the same time, a quick review of the State of Wisconsin's cruninal court records database, the Circuit Court
Automation Prograzn (CCAP), shows that their criminal court records aze faz more accessible, timely and
complete than in Minnesota (see Attachment C). Case information is updated every hour. Seventy of
Wisconsin's sevenry-rivo counties participate in the system. Citizens, law enforcement and court personnel ha� e
access to CCAP at public terminals and over the Intemet.

We ask that the State of Minnesota and the BCA take immediate steps to improve upon the criminal histon
records database system. We feei that the following efforts should be made:
• invite or compei more jurisdictions to participate in the system,
• cut down the time in which data is entered into the system,
• streamline the processes and forms through which data is entered into the system in order to
improve timeliness and eliminate mix-ups that uitimately land cases in the "suspense file,"
• improve access to criminal history information, possibly through the Intemet, and
• gamer legislative support and funding to provide a first-class criminal records system.
We understand that there are no easy fixes to gun violence. However, it is pazamount that we as elected leadzrs
give law enforcement all of the tools necessary to fight violent crime. Timely and accurate data is a very
important tool in this "information age." Please help 3aint Paul and other local govemments by giving our
�•`�i ��rs and prosecutors timely, accurate and complete information on the criminal histories of those people �cho
are arrested for violent crimes in our communities.
T'his is a problem that can be fixed — with sufficient commitment and resources — through existing technoloe} .
Please take the lead in creating a first-class criminal records database system in Minnesota. We look forward to
working with you on this important issue. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
�'� ` !

%y points from the report titled "Analysis of Gun and FYeapons Cases
Prosecuted by the Saint Pau! City Attorney, I996-1991" by Thomas J. Weyandt
The study includes a detailed analysis of 276 cases involving guns or weapons that were
prosecuted by the Saint Paul Ciry Attorney's Office in 1996 and 1497
The study revealed that 113 (41°l0) of the 27b suspects in these cases had prior crimes
against persons arrests or convictions.
Three basic types of weapons cases are included in this investigation:
"Use cases" - where weapons aze used in an illegal manner,
2 „ Status cases" - where weapons aze possessed by persons who aze prohibited
from having them, and
3. "Possession cases" - where weapons aze found in areas where they aze not
allowed.
Analysis showed that errors were made in 133 (49%) of the 276 cases studied:
Misdemeanor charges were filed in instances where gross misdemeanor or felony
charges were possible - 42 cases.
No felony review was done prior to review by the City Attorney's Office in cases
where the facts presented possible felony chazges - 30 cases.
Police personnel at the time of the arrest failed to document sufficient facts to
consider proper chazges - 19 cases.
Prosecutors or judges made errors in appiying the facts to the 1aw, resultino in
Iesser charges being filed or cases being dismissed -15 cases.
Criminal history and `status' information were not properly investigated prior to
charging the case - I S cases.
Subsequent chazges against a convicted individual were not used to either file a
probation revocation or void a stay of imposition of sentence in the case involved
in the study - 9 cases.
Location of the violation was not properly noted in the police report preventing
enhancement of chazges to either gross misdemeanor or felony level - 5 cases.
pO-�ta
Federal and state laws contain prohibitions preventing the possession of fireanns based on
16 separate types of "status" for the suspect. For example, persons who have been
convicted of crimes of violence, persons confined for mental illness or chemical
dependency, persons who aze fugitives and illegal aliens aze prohibited from possessing
guns and weapons. Analysis showed that 90 (69%) of the 133 errors found involved a
suspect's "status."
In 19 cases it was obvious that felony chazges should have been considered but were not,
either because the police or screening attomey was not aware of the possible felony
charges.
No chazges were filed in 31 cases and 25 cases were dismissed once charges were filed by
the CAO. Of those 56 cases, enors were identified in 37 of them. At least nine of the
cases were potential felonies.
Errors were made in 45/84 (53%) of bail evaluations.

RE: Criminal Justice Information Integrarion
Dear Duane:
Thank you for taking the time to talk with Commissioner Fisher, Wendy Dwyer and me last
week. The purpose of this letter is to give you an update on our efforts to integrate crimmaI
jusrice information across the state.
We aze active in at least four areas; statewide systems, criminal jusiice information integrafion,
CTCC/Hennepin County, and altemative methods/technologies. It is our goal to define the
working relationships between interested parties, audit existing plans, coordinate and integrate
ongoing efforts, and to seek faster and cheaper solurions in each of these azeas.
Statewide Svstems
7rafre safery Th� Deparhnent of Administration, under the leadership of Commissioner Fisher, is
coordinating a variety of statewide efforts including Connecting Minnesota,
telecommunicarions regulatory reform, higher educarion connection efforts, electronic
governntent services and criminal}ustice informafion integra6on. Each of these efforts overlaps
into the others, all of which are very dependent on Connecting Minnesota. Each of these efforts
also has an"execufive sponsor." For example, the Department of Commerce is playing a lead
role in telecommunications regulatory reform.
My department's relarionship to these statewide projects is as follows:
Paul Aasen, DPS Assistant Commissaoner, is a member of the TT mini-cabinet. The
mini-cabinet has been chazged with providing leadership and coordinarion of all the
statewide efforts.
Paul is also the ]ead point of contact for criminal jusfice informarion integration. It is
important to note that Paul's role 3n this azea does not preclude involvement by the
Department ofAdministration. Paul's job is to represent the Ventura Administration's
posirion on the need (the "why"j and on the desired outcome (the "whaY').
Commissioner Fisher and his staff are directly involved with the mefhod of
implementation (the "how'�. I believe CommissionerFisher is going to assign a staff
person to work directiy with paul. This duo will be able to manage the why, what and
how of the projecf.

particulazly as it relates fo our driver and vehicIe services azea.
We will be assigning a staff person to participate in the Connecting Minnesota effork
T1tis effort will provide a consistent infrastruchue for networking. We aze obviously
interested in ensuring our Greater Minnesota communicafion and service locarions are
connected.
Criminal Justice Information InteQSarion / Criminal Justice Data Network
As mentioned above, the Department of Public Safefy, and Paul Aasen in particulaz, is
the lead for the execurive branch on criminal jusrice infom�ation integration. Paul is
currenfly worldng with the Department of Administration to define how the business
practices desired by public safety can be coordinated with the Department of
Adminish computer system criteria, to coordinate an audit of existing plans
(largely CJCGHennepin County) by the SEARCH group, and to research other
successfiil integration efforts.
A part of information integrarion is the upgrade to the piece of the system we maintain
at the BCA, the Criminal Justice Data Network. Paul is worldng with other DPS staff at
the BCA and in the Office of Technical Support Services to review the existing plans
and to coordinate with the other inYerested parties at the state, Correcrions, Courts, and
Administration.
CSCC / Aennepin Cotmty
We are attempting to detezmine the answer to two questions related to the C3CC's
efforts. First, is the CJCC proposal the best method and will it be a model for other
counties and cities; and, second, what is the real cost of implementing the first yeat of
the proposal.
As mentioned above, Paul Aasen is coordinating an audit of the CJCC proposal by the
SEARCH group. This audit will add to the information provided by the audits currently
being coordinated through yout efforts with the Mumesota Business Partnership.
Two parties aze working on a cost esfimate. Hennepin county staff has been asked by
the county boazd to provide a detailed cost estimate by Thanksgiving. The State's Data
Group is also working on an estimate, but it wi11 not be available unril Febniary. We
]ook fonvazd to teviewing Hennepin County's estimate in the next few weeks.
Altemative Methods / Technoioeies
The audits of the CJCC proposal and of our plans for our own criminal justice network
upgrade will heip us decide if our plans aze reasonable. In addidon, we aze discussing
proposals for test systems using other methods with outside parties. One of the most
promising efforts is the Ramsey County project. Ramsey County has already connected
their Sheriff's department with the state courts and criminal justice data networks. We
need to deteTmine the applicability of their methods on a statewide basis.

Title: Metropolitan Couacil Regional Parks Capital Improvement Requests
DepartmendOffice: Metropolitan CounciUSaint Paul Parks
StaffContact: Ame Stefferud/7ott Wirka Phone: 651-602-1360/266-64ll
L Eapiain this proposal

approximately $27 million, inciuding $3.724 million for Saint Paul specific projects. These

Como Park Central Service Facility
Office(Storage Addition
City Match $ 430,000
II. What are advantages of this proposal
The Mississippi River Traii component matches an authorized $Z million federal ISTEA grant,
and will aliow 1.8 miles of trail and shoreline improvements.
The Como Park Fern House is worn out and in desperate need of replacement. The estimated
number of visits to Como Park in 1998 was 2,418,600. The project is part of a special recreation
feature (Como Conservatory) in Como Regional Park, and replacing it will help keep Como Park
as one of the state's most visited attractions.
The Como Park Storage Faciliry also replaces a worn out structure. Como Park has a nagging
probiem of storage space, and replacing the eacisting facility wili provide much needed space for
maintenance.

Committee, in the upcoming session that will extend state-wide ethano] credits to include the City
of Saint Paul. These credits will be directed specifically to apply to Minnesota Brewing to allow
for the production of 15 million gallons of ethanol. Extending these credits will allow Minnesota
Brewing to leverage $600,000 in financing to complete its ethanol piant.
II. What are advantages of this proposal
Successful passage ofthis legislation will create in Saint Paul the first urban ethanol plant in the
country, and help to save approximately 150 good-paying union jobs in Saint Paul.
III. Identify kuown support
City of Albert Lea, Bingham Lake, Buffalo Lake, Luverne, Preston and Saint Paul, Minnesota
Corn Growers, the Farm Bureau, and the Farmers Union, organized labor
IV. Tdentify known opposition to this proposal

CITY OF SAINT PAUL
2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: Protection of Saint Paul tagpayers and City operatioas through the
Property Taa Study Project and discussions concerning property tax
reform, school funding and local govemment aids.
Department/Office: Various, including the PTSP, LMC and AMM
Staff Contact: Mike Campbell, Jeff Van Wychen Phone: 266-8537/612-379-2060
L Eaplain this proposal
The City of Saint Paul has worked through its membership in the Joint Property Ta�c Advisory
Committee and the Property Tax Study Project to limit the Snancial burden to all of our property
taxpayers. The principals of these groups are that taY and fiscal reform should ensure
accountability and clarity in the system; equity and ta�cpayer impact; revenue adequacy; focused
state assistance; flexibiliry to redesign services and improve effectiveness. Given these criteria,
any additional ta�c rate changes should be reviewed for their impacts on homeowners and on 5aint
Paul's ability to have dependab]e revenue sources for its fiscal future.
2000 legislative priorities for the PTSP will include positions on:
1. Increase the State Share of Special Education Funding
2. Increase State Funding for Family Preservation Aid
3. Enhance State Funding for Local Government Aid
4. Restore the Local Government Sales Tax Exemption
II What are advantages of this proposal
The City of Saint Paul has an exceilent record of fiscal responsibility, keeping the City portion of
the property tax levy at,0% for the last five years. In order to continue to deliver quality services,
the must have a predictable revenue base which protects Saint Paul homeowners from sudden tax
increases and a(so allows the City to provide sound fiscal planning in the future. Through the
JPTAC and the PTSP, Saint Paul is involved in unique collaborative efforts with a focus on
benefitting taxpayers through change in the systems for funding and delivering local government
services. Historically, cities, counties and school districts have not worked together on issues of
this nature. The jurisdictions invalved in this project betieve that this collaborative effoR has the
potential for developing creative, joint solutions to common problems. Approval of the Project's
initiatives are a good step toward future collaborations and joint-efforts.
II Identify known support

Priorities of the Property Tax
fior the 2000 Legislative
Study Project
Session
The property tax is the most antiquated of the major tax bases used to fund pubiic services in
Minnesota. increasingly, the levei of residential property taxes has little to do with the income
of the taxpayer or the level of public services consumed by the taxpayer. Unlike sales and
income taxes, the levei of property taxation frequently increases without an increase in the
taxpayers ability to pay. Furthermore, over time the property tax is the slowest growing of the
major Minnesota tax bases.
A tax system in which some 4evels of government are overly dependent upon an antiquated,
un4air, and slow growing tax base is a tax system that is out of balance. in o�de� to remedy
this situation, the Praperty Tax Study Project is committed to legislative initiatives that will:
• Diversify local government revenue sources in order to reduce dependence on the
propercy tax
• Ensure that programs that are mandated hy the state or federal govemments are funded
by the state or federai governme�ts.
In order to advance these objectives, the PropeRy Tax Study Project is proposing that the
Minnesota legislature consider enacting the foilowing initiatives during the 2000 legislative
session.
Increase the State Share of Special Education Funding
P�oposal• lncrease the percentaqe of special education exoenses that is funded 6V the
state.
Rationale
School district spending for speciai education services is driven by factors beyond the control
of school districts, inciuding court, state, and federai mandates.
A report recently completed by the Department of Children, Famiiies, and Learning reveais the
extent to which school districts use general education revenues to augment state resources
dedicated to finance the provision of special education services. According to this report, the
cross-subsidization of special education from general education resources was 5288 mil{ion in
FY 1998. �
�
Minnesota FY 1998 Total Speciai
Education Expenditure: 5792 Million
Other
Revenues
63.7%
Adjusted Net
Cross-Subsidy
36.3%
�p,y0
Based on the CFl report, the adjusted net cross-subsidy of speciai education from general
education revenues comprised over one-third of ail specia4 education expenditures statewide
in FY 1998. A t997 report by the Legisfative Auditor's Office found that schooi district
spending o� special education grew at twice the rate of generai education spending behveen
1988 and 1995.
Every schooi district in the state finances a general education program in direct competition
with special education services. However, the competition for resources is tiVted in favor of
speciai education because the likelifiood of being held legalfy accauntable for Yhe provision of
speciai education services is much highes.
Federai and state law creates the obiigation on the part of Iocal school districts to provide a
"free and appropriate pubiic education" (FAPE) to all enroiled students with physical,
emotional, or mental disabilities. The level or service is established by an Individuai Education
Planning team with representation of all service/care providers for the student and the
studenYs family based on the student's need. Further, famiiies and advocacy organizations
always have recourse to the courts to obtain the {evei of service they feel is entitled u�der the
law.
During the last lwo decades we have seen four trends accelerate the growth in the cost of
special education services:
1.) School age disabled chiidren formerly cared for in an institutional setting (such as regional
treatment centers) have been deinstitutionalized and returned to pubiic schoois as a lower-
cost service provider. Pubiic education settings are the feast restrictive environmenttor
many disabled children.
2.) Advances in medicai technology have increased the number of inedically fragile students
who sucvive and can be cared for in educationai settings.
3.) Court, state, and federal mandates continuz to increase the level of service expected from
school districts. For example, a recent Supreme Court decision arising from a case in
lowa (Cedar Rapids V. Garret F.) determined that schooi districts are responsible for alI
medical services for medicaily fragile students up to but not inciuding resuscitation.
4.) An increase the incidence of high-cost disabilities such as autism, deaf and hard of
hearing, and multip{y diseb{ed children age birth to th�es has resulted in further inaeases
in the expense of providing special education seniices.
�b��D
Whiie courts and the state and federal govemments have increased the level of special
education services school districts are expected to provide, adequate new resources have not
been appropriated to finance the new sarvices. The result is a steady erosion of revenue
availabie for generai education.
Current law reimburses school districts for a portion of their speciai education expenditures.
the generaf education formula reimburses at the rate of 68 percent of instructional expenses
not inciuding benefits. Without benefits this formula reimburses roughly half of the totai
instructionai expenses until expenditures statewide exceed an appropriated cap, which in FY
1998 was less than half of the total documented amount of special education expenditures. At
this point state reim6ursements are prorated to each disUict on a propoRional basis.
The 1999 Legislature did move to increase the state commitment to speciai education funding
by increasing the cap on statewide appropriations through FY 2001 and enriching the speciai
education excess cost formula to pick up a greate� share of the costs not covered by the basic
specia( education formula.
What the Proposa/ Will Accomo/ish
State assumpt+on of a greater share of financiai responsibility for special education will free up
generai education resources to ensure that the educationa( reforms currently on the books will
successfully bring all students to basic skills proficiency and progress towards high standards.
Pubiic education is at a crossroad. We are entering a period where khe majority of schoot
districts wiil experience decfining enrollments; consequently, revenue associated with
enrofiment wiii also decfine. This will put additionaf sttain on genera{ education resouroes.
This strain can be reduced by reducing the cross-subsidization of special education services
from general education resources.
State education reforms have changed how we measure success in education and demand a
higher levei of productivity from schoois. The pubiic expects afl students to graduate with the
basic skilis of reading and math. The pubiic aiso expects aii students to make progress
towards higher order skiils described in the graduation standards. The likelihood of attaining
these goals is increased if general education resources do not have to be diverted to fund
other services.
Increasing the state share of speciai education finance wili help to ensure that the state is
paying for a larger percentage of mandated programs. Until the state and federal govemment
give states the tools to provide special education services in a"managed care" model that
permits school districts to impose some measure of cost control, the state should assume the
lion's share of the responsibility for financing these services.
Because the funding of speciai education has diverted resources away from general
education, many districts have had to pass referenda in order to adequately fund generai
education. Reducing the cross-subsidization of special education from generai education
revenues will reduce the need for referendum levies, thereby helping to hold down property
taxes.
Increase State Funding for Family Preservation Aid
Do-�o
Rationale
Family Preservation Aid was created in order to reduce county property tax burdens
attributabie to child weifare and out-of-home placement expenses by increasing the state
funding for these services. in 2000, 521.7 miliion in Family Preservation Aid will be distributed
to the 87 Minnesota counties.
Chiid servSce and out-of-home piacement expenses are among the most rapidly growing
areas of public expenditures. Nationwide and witfiin Minnesota, there has been a rapid
increase in:
• The number of children involved in investigatio�s of abusa and neglect
• The number of children with substantiated reports of maitreatment
• The number of children removed from homes
These increases have far outpaced the rate of growth in total popuiation.
In addition io an increase in the number of cases of child abuse, negiect, and maltreatment,
there has also been an increase in the severity of these cases. According to an Urban
institute report, chiid we}fare workers in Mi�nesota note that the ievei of neglect seen today is
more severe than in the past. More severe cases of neglect cail for more drastic and
expensive interventions.
A 1999 repo[t from the legisiative Auditor notes that statewide piacement spending Qer
Minnesota resident under age 18 in real (i.e., inFlation adjusted) doilars increased by 22
percent from 1992 and 1997. Comparable nationwide data is not availabie; however, these
trends in Minnesota seem to roughiy coincide with nationai trends. According to the report
from the Legislative Auditor, most human service directors in Minnesota expect piacement
spending to continue to increase faster than the rate of inflation in coming years.
Whife Minnesota appears to be fairly typicai among states in terms of ths growth in child
wetfare caseloads and out-oi-home placement costs, Minnesota is somewhat unique in terms
of how tfiese expenses are funded. According to the report from the Legfslative Auditor,
Minnesota relies more heavily on local revenues—especia(ly properry tax revenues—to pay
for social services, inciuding child piaceme�t costs.

Op_�n
The above cha�t does not take into account the increase in Family Preservation Aid enacted
fo� 2000. The Property Tax Study Project estimates that this increase would be sufficient to
reduce the county share of out-of-home piacement funding by approximately 8 percent (from
59 percent to 51 percent). According to the Legislative Auditors report, Minnesofa is one of
only seven stafes in which local revenues provide mo�e fhan 20 percenf of child welfare
funding. The Legislative Auditor also notes that the primary souroe of county revenues used
to fund ouf-of-home placemenfs is the p�operfy tax.
Minnesota's heavy dependence on the property tax to fund out-of-home piacement has
several implications:
• The totai property tax burden in the state is increased. As noted above, the property tax is
the most antiquated and slowest growing of the major taxes and the one that is the Ieast
related to taxpayer's ability to pay.
• Due to the di�culty involved in generating increased revenue from the property tax, there
is a serious potentiai that child welfare and out-of-home piacement expenses will be
under-funded. According to the Legislative Auditor's report, about haif huma� service
directors in the state feel that "budget considerations have limited their abiiity to provide
the care and services that children need."
• The reports from both the Legislative Auditor and the Urban institute note significant
variatio�s in the level of funding for chiid services among Minnesota counties that can be
attributed to differences in propeRy tax wealth.
What the ProAOSaI Will Accomolish
Significant increases in Famiiy Preservation Aid will help to reduce the least popular and most
unfair of the major Minnesota taxes: the property tax. In addition, increases in Family
Preservation Aid will heip to ensure adequate funding for criticai child weifare services and
help to reduce the disparity in funding among Minnesota counties that exists due to disparities
in property wealth.
Enhance State Funding for Local Government Aid (LGA)
rg owfh•
Rationale
Cities provide a variety of necessary public services. However, cities differ in terms of thei�
ability to gene�ate revenue. In addition, due to differences in demographic characteristics
(e.g., more crime, older housing stock, etc.), cities also differ i� terms of their expenditure
need. The purpose of LGA is to help equalize tax burden disparities among communities that
exist due to difEerences in expend+ture need and reve�ue raising capacity.
In addition, LGA exists in order to ensure that cities are not exclusively dependent upon the
propesty tax. The property tax is the most antiquated of the major Minnesota taxes and the
one that is least related to a taxpayer's abillty to pay. !n addition, the QropeRy tax is the
s{owest growing of the major Minrtesota taxes. lGA provides a way of sharing growth in state
sales and income tax revenues with cities, thereby diversifying the revenue base of cities and
providing greater balance in the mix of revenues uQon which city governments depend.
0
LGA funding in reat dollacs per capita peaked in 1989, 6ut has declined sharply since then.
For the year 2000, city LGA in real dottats per capita is less then at any time since 1976.

Do _�O
While LGA in reai doilars per capita has declined since 1976, statewide personai income has
grown by approximately 47 percent. Clearly, funding for city LGA has failed to keep pace with
growth in personal income and with growth in the state's economy generally.

During the period from 1990 to 1999, statewide city levies in real dollars per capita grew by
10.4 percent. However, this growth in levi2s cannof be attributed to a growth in spending,
since during the same period the totai sta;ewide ciry revenue base deciined by 1.6 percent.
Rather, the increase in levies is due to a dacline in state aids to cities. Totai state aids to
cities, including LGA, has declined signincontly since 1990; LGA—the singie largest city aid
program—has declined by just over 21 percent in real doilars per capita. 7hus, growth in city
levies can be attributed to the decline in city aids.

What the Pr000sal �!! Accomnlish
Linking growth in city LGA to growth in state tax revenues would allow ciry expenditures to
keep pace with inflation and population growth without increases in ciry Ievies. The proposal
put forth here will resuit in a true revenue sharing program between the state and city
govemments that wiil heip to hoid city property tax burdens constant or even reduce ihem
over time.
Restore the Local Government Sales Tax Exemption
Rationale
When one level of govemment taxes another, the resuit is usually a loss of accountability.
Ultimately, taxpayers pay all tax burdens. When the state governme�t imposes a sales tax on
local governments, local governments in turn pass the tax burden on to focai taxpayers,
frequentiy in the form of higher property taxes. The portion of tfie local tax burden attributable
to the state saies fax on loca4 governments appears to taxpayers to be a local tax, when in
fact the revenue being generated goes to state government, not to local government. In this
way the state saies tax on local governments increases the complexity of the tax system and
reduces accountability.
The local government exemption from the state sales tax was repeaied in 1992 as a way of
generating more revenue for the state, which was then experiencing a significant budget
shorCfaif. Given that the reason for imposing the saies tax an {ocai governments (i.e., the
revenue shocttali) has iong since disappeared, there is no good reason for maintaining this
sales tax. To continue to tax local governments in order to inflate the state surplus is bad
pubiic policy.
The state currently controls the two most rapidly growing taxes: income and sales.
Meanwhile, local governments are heavily dependent on property tax revenues, which
historically have not grown as rapidfy as income and sales tax revenues. Given that the state
has abundant resources, it makes little sense for the state to impose a tax on local
governments.
What the Pr000sal Wi!l AccomplisA
Restoring the locai government saies tax exemption will restore a degree of accountability to
the tax system and, in many instances, reduce the property tax, which is the most antiquated
of the major taxes and the one that is least related to taxpayers' ability to pay.

2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: Motion Imaging Recording System/Traffic Law Compliance
DepartmentJOffice: Mayor's Office
StaffContact: Mike Campbell Phone: 651-266-8537
I. Explain this proposal
In order to promote greater public and vehiculaz safety, legislation wili be introduced in the
upcoming session that requests legislative action authorizing utilization of motion imaging
recording system technology for govemmental units, including cities, on streets and highways to
assist promotion of safety and traffic law comptiance enforcement. One recent study at the
intersection of Saint Anthony and Snellin� in Saint Paul indicated an avera?e of 180 red-light
violations per hour in the south-bound lane alone. It is expected that the use of M.I.R.S. will
greatly reduce the number of traffic violations, and increase public safety.
II. Wh�t are �dvantnges of this proposll
The use of M.I.R.S. will provide enforcement assistance to Saint Paul's, and other municipalities'
overburdened traffic compliance officers. The proven technology of this tool will accurately
identify and ticket traffic violators, thereby reducin� the number of violations increasing public
safety.
III. Identify known support

PART I. INTRODUCTION
� T1vs report documents the study and testin� of a technology designed to detect
and record violations of certain traffic con�ol devices in Minnesota. The system utilizes
one of severat detection methods to determine the occunence of a specific velucle
� violation, and then activates a camern to photo�aph the vehicle. The usual nomenclature
for this type of technology is photo radar or photo enforcement. However, as this study
did not contain any aspect of active enforcement, a less threatening appeilation was
� adopted. The system was called the Motion Ima�ing Recording System (MIRS).
T'his type of technology is used in over 30 other countries. It was first used in the
� United States for enforcement purposes in 1987, in the city of Paradise V alley, Arizona
Since then iu usage has been rapidly expanding to other U.S. cities including, but not
limited to, New York City, New York; Los Angeles, Sacramento, Pasadena, and San
� Francisco, California; Jackson, Michigan; Portland and Beaverton, Oregon; Fort Collins
and Commerce City, Colorado; Fairfax City, Virginia; and Fort Meade, Florida.
� This report was adopted by the MIRS Steering Conunittee on January 12, 1998.

St. Paul
It was decided that the first installation would be located at the intersection of
Snellin� Ave_ and St. Anthony Ave, in St. Paul, monitorin� violations on southbound
Snellin� Ave.(see appendix A). This site is very ambitious in that there are fout lanes of
southbound uaffic as we1l as a protected ri?ht turn lane. St Anthony Ave_ is the noRh
ftonta�e road above I-94 and is a one way street, westbound. Concordia Ave. is the south
fronta�e road above the interstate and is a one way street eastbound. This intersection is
a major entrance point to the interstate and accomodates over 17,000 southbound
vehicles each day.
As southbound traffic on Snellin� Ave. passes over I-94, lane 4(closest to the
center median) is a left turn oaly onto Concordia Ave., lane 3 is a shared left turn or thru
lane, lane 2 is a thru lane and 1ane i is a thru lane which merges with lane 2 south of
Concordia Ave. A large percentage of the southbound traffic tums left and enters I-94.
The installation on Sneiling Ave. was operational for parts of five months, from
late 2�3ovember 1996 throu�h the end of April 1997. No testing was conducted from
� December 3, 1996 through February 6, 1997 due to the malfunctioning of the equipment
(see Part V, Efficiency of Equipment).
�
�
Over the five months of operation, there were riventy-four deployments (sepazate
operations of the camera with new film) that ran from a single day duration to five days
duration. An attempt was made to spread the testing out over different parts of the
month and most importantly over different ciays of the week, to have a more concise
record of when violations were occurring. A breakdown of the deployments by day aze
as follows-
� Monday 11
Tuesday 8
� Wednesday 6
Thursday 7
- Fridav �
� Saturday 6
Sunday 7
�
�
�
�
�
�
Dwin� the period the camera was operational at least some testing was conducted on 24
days that fell betr,veen the first and the fifteenth of the month, and 26 days that fell
between the sixteenth and the end of the month.
The camera ran for 712 hours and 52 minutes and detected 5,378 violations. This
is approximately 180 per day, or about 7.� per hour. Fi�ur2 6 is a baz �aph which
shows the number of �iolations for each hour of the day. The greatest number of
violations occurred beriveen 2:00 - 3:d0 PM. This is surprisin� because it is afrer the
lunch hour rush and before the afternoon rush hour. Speculation has been made ihat
because the testin� period was during the school year, perhaps this is the time that
nearby hiQh schools were lettina out for the day. Another speculation was that it mi�tt
be sales and delivery people runnin� tate and realizing that they have "X"' number of
stops yet to make before they can �o home.

Title: Voluntary State Registration/Licensing for Massage and Oriental
Bodywork Tl�erapists
DepartmendOffice: Saint Paul Licensing Inspection and Environmental Protection
StaffContact: BobKessler Phone:651-266-9112
I. Eaplain th'ss proposal
Currently, massage and oriental bodywork therapists are licensed by cities and municipalities.
Legislation wiil be proposed in the 20001egislative session that will give massage and oriental
bodywork therapists the option of voluntarily registering with the state of Minnesota or remaining
licensed under city and municipal jurisdictions. The statute also grandfathers in certain
requirements, but not limited to, such as 100 hours of supervised massage therapy instruction,
liability insurance, that therapists be 18 years or older, a willingness to abide by a code of ethics
established by the Board.
Those therapists who register with the state will be exempt from local ordinances.
II. What are advantages of this proposal
This proposed legislation would piace upon the state of Minnesota part of the requirement to
license and monitor therapists removing this part of this burden from the City of Saint Paul. It
would also provide the added benefii of creating a centralized repository of therapists, create rules
under which therapists must operate and codify criminal penalties.

2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Titie: Small Business Regulatory Relief
Department/Office: MCDA
Staff Contact: Eric Nathanson Phone: 612-673-5183
I Egplain this proposal
The Minnesota Business 5ubsidies Act provides the definition of a business subsidy, and places
significant reporting requirements on businesses that receive such subsidies. This policy proposal
changes part of the definition of a small business subsidy, and exempts certain business activities
from the Business Subsidies Act. Essentially the amendments address five issues in the Act:
1. Raises the threshotd that triggers requirements and reporting from $25,000 to $100,000.
2. Exempts small businesses as defined in MN Statute 645.445.
3. Exempts, with no repoRing requirements, subsidies for polluted sites and redevelopment.
4. Exempts heritage preservation activities.
5. Exempts tax exempt revenue bonds.
II What are advantages of this proposal
This bill will reduce the reporting requirements for small businesses and provide significant
regulatory relief. Such relief will assist small businesses that are struggling to stay in the inner city
and serve its residents.

Summary
Proposed Amendments to the 1449 Business Subsidies Law
Secrion 1. This section makes several changes to the existing exemptions and adds one.
Among the changes aze the folioWing:
• Ciause 1 is amended to increase the threshold to $ l QQ,000. The
amendment is proposed to reflect se�ezal state and local govemment
programs that pro�ide less than $100,000 and are not always intended to
create jobs. This change would exclude such projects as those funded by
DT£D's nuat redevelopment and micro-enterprise funds and other _
projects of similar scale.
♦ Clause 5 extends the exemption to include designated historic pceservation
districts.
♦ Clause 8 adds a reference to the tax increment financizag hazardous
substance subdisnict. The intent of this change is to clazify that the
existing ]anguage specifically includes this TIF subd'zstrict as a po)lution
control or abatement activity.
♦ Clause 14 is modified to clarify that bonds (ssued on behalf of a non-profit
organization aze exempt. Current law exempts only those bonds which are
subject to the state's bond volume cap for private activity bonds issued by
a focal or state government on behaif of a private entity. 7his change
wouid extend the exemption to similar bonds not subject to the volume
cap.
♦ Clause 19 is a new exemption. A smalJ business is defined in state law.
The reference to the Minnesota 1aw is included in section 2.
Section 2. This change provides a statutory reference to the Minnesota statutory
definition of small business. A small business is defined fo be a for-profit entaty that has
no moze than twenty £uil-time employees or, in the pcecedin� yeaz fiscal yeaz, had no
more than $1 million ($2.5 million £oz technical or pro£essional services) in annual gross
revenues. The small business must not be affiliated with or a subsadiary of a business
thatexceedsthese thresholds.
��—�0
Section 3. This sectioz� includes a change to clarify that increasing the tax base is a
legitimate public purpose. Current law is open io the interpretation that increasing the tax
base is not a permissibie public ptupose.
This section also includes a change that zeplaces the word "imminenY' �vith the word
"specific."
Section 4. The change in Clause 6 would allow a recipient of a business subsidy to move
locations within the five-yeaz commitment period but only with grantor approvai. The
change in Ciause 8b allows a grantor to structure a�-ant as a forgivable loan and
pro��ides consistency with the language in the following sentence.
12l02/1999 23:58 6514876991 BONNIE B�,LACH PAGE 03
00 -��
Section 5. This change will tequiie tha grantoz to determine whether a Qroject is
desigied to create jobs, and therefore, if the subsidy agreement will include job and wage
goals. The public wouid have an opportunity to comment on this determination at the
required pubiic hear9ng. Curzent law requires the grantor to include job and wage goals in
subsidy agreements foz projects that are not intended to create jobs, but rather, have a
variery of other legitimate goals, such es reducing crime, improving ihe workplace,
providing equipment, or redeveloping property.
This section also includes a change (identical to that in Section 3) that replaces the word
"iznminenf' with the word `specific."
Section 6. In many instances the final subsidy agreement is not complete at the time of
the public hearing and therefore may not be available at that time. This change would
clazify that making a summary of the subsidy agreement available is sufficient for the
purpose of the public hearing. The summary would inc]ude the proposed business points
or terms of the agreement,
This section aiso inciudes a change that would allow a combined public hearing where
there aze multiple grantors. The hearing would be held 'an the local }uzisdiction.
Section 7. This change has the effect o£ exempting from any reporting requirements the
tyQes of financial assistance that are excluded from definition of "business subsidy."
Instead, zedevelopment reporking is required in cases where the subsidy agreement
includes the creation or retenrion of jobs as a goal.
Section S. This change is intended to be a technical clazification on1y.
Section 9. This change eliminates the reference to "monthly or quarteriy" time
eategories with regazd to DTED's summary and compilation report.

CITY OF SAINT PAUL
2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: Telecommunications Revisions
DepartmenUOffice: Mayor's OfficelSaint Pau] TNIS
StaffContact: NfikeCampbelUHollyHansenPhone:651-266-8537l266-8875
I. Explain this proposal
Minnesota's cities have regulated cable franchises for twenty years. Cities have had the authority
to negotiate and oversee nonexclusive cable franchises to suit each community. During the Z000
legislative session, the Minnesota Legislature plans to consider a number of proposals which
would change the way cable franchises are regulated in the state. Some of these proposals would
eliminate the city's role in cable regulation and administration; franchise fees now paid to cities
would be pooled in a state-wide fund.
The City of Saint Paul will oppose any legislation that would remove its ability to regulate cable at
the local level. Specifically, 5aint Paul will oppose any efforts to take its franchise rights and fees
that derive from its franchising rights.
Currentiy, the City of Saint Paul receive approximately $1.3 miilion franchise fees, hatf of which
are retumed to the general fund. Additional grants of approximately $630,000 required by the
franchise are aiso used to finance Saint Paul Neighborhood Network (SPNI� which provides
Public and Educationa] access and playback for government Access, collectively referred to as
PEG (Public Educationai and Government) access.
Saint Paul will support only that legislation which maintains its franchise right and the ability to
coilect franchising fees, and allows the city to maintain its regulatory control.
II. What are advantages of this proposal
Losing franchising ri�hts wou(d remove local control that Saint Paul cucrently enjoys over cable
services. Saint Paul, through its regulatory ab'tlity with cable, has been able to tailor the deliver of
cable services to its citizens in a way that supports and protects the consumer. Saint Paul has also
been able to require cable operators to include PEG access as a requirement of of receiving the
franchise which is a clear benefit to residents. Maintaining current franchising rights wiil allow
Saint Paui to continue to collect franchise fees, and regutatory control wiil keep cable delivery
accountable and responsible to the people.

SAMPLE RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the City of has been granted the legal authority to
negotiate, award and regulate cabie television franchises under both federel
statute Title 6 and Minnesota State statute Chapter 238; and
WHEREAS, the City of accepted the respons+bility that comes with
the awarding of the cable te{evision franchise, inciuding ensuring that the
cabie company meets the identified"needs of the community such as
community television and institutionai networks and serving as a locai
resource to resolving customer service issues; and
WHEREAS, state legislation has been proposed that would repeal Chapter
238 and revoke the City's authority to award a cable television franchise,
e(iminate the City as a loca! resource to its citizens for resofving customer
service issues, and remove the City's ability to receive direct support for
community television and other provisions that meet community needs; and
WHEREAS, it has not been demonstrated by any means that local
governments' role in cable franchising impedes in any manner the ability of
cable and telecommunications companies to offer full and competitive
services; and
WHEREAS, while the City of acknowiedges the regulatory chailenge
of addressing the convergence of voice, video and data services, loca(
governments are essential to any legislative discourse +n this area and must
retain authority to ensure continued local support for its comm�nity;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOIVED that the City ofi must retain
its authority to franchise companies providing cable television services and is
hereby opposed to any legisiation that would revoke this authority and that it
further asserts its Constitutional rights to retain its local authority to enter
into contracts to serve its community.

v[aior Areas of Concern for Cities
L1�1C staff have identified the following key topics of importance to cities. Please review
these — and add to the list — as you review materials for the meeting.
Scape and exercise of Ioca1, franchise autkarity
This addresses the fundamental question if video programming should be included within the
ambit of the leaislation. (Currently it is.) There is a stron¢ly held municipal belief that issues
associated with cable pro�amming are best managed at the local level This also raises the
obvious concern about the future of focal cable franchise revenue.
Local authariry ro establish mur:icipol relecommunications anilities
The law says that a"person has authority to provide telecommunication services if ..." We
believe the intent of the fegislation is to include municipalities wiihin the definition of
person." However, given the controversy that mieht well arise concernins this issue, we
believe it would be wise to give municipalities the explicit authority to establish municipal
telecommunications utilities.

Q Q �O
Servicer ro be inciuded ir: universal service
The legislation describes several "services that should be considered for inclusion as
universal" Outstate smaller cities should be very concemed a6out what appeazs in the final list
because ii may well define for years to come how well cities are served by emerging
technology.
Local Zor:ing Authority over telecommunicaYions faciliries placed in right-of-tivay.
U.S. West and others have taken the view in the past several months that local �overnments
do not possess authority to a�ply zoning cEquirements to above ground telecommunication
facilities placed in the right-of-way. Staff believes that we ought to use this legislation to
clarify municipaf wning authority in this area in the aftermath the 1997 right-of-way
legislation.
Eligible Munici�l Activities to he financed out of proposed rn:iversal service fur:d.
Assuming a univecsal service fund is created, cities should have a particular interest in seeing
that eligible activities financed out of the fund include mo� than just the tiaditional ca61e
related activities. If the charge is goin� to be imposed on all telecommunications service
providers, the fund may well be used to enhance the ability of cities to attcact and retain a
broad spectrum of telecommunications related services to a community.
Other Topics Addressed That Could Affect Cities.
Performance Guaranty (Article 1, Section 3):
The requirement to furnish a performance bond (or other financial instrument) is
worded in an ambiguous manner. How are compensatory damaQes to 6e determined?
Can cities draw on the amount of the guaranty drawn upon to address failure of a
provider to meet quality of service or service delivery? Requirements? What are the
procedures for filing complaints under this section?
Lea�ue staff sueaests that the guaranty be viewed as a mechanism to provide for
liquidated damages to recoup civil penalties under 237A.25 (Article 3
CON iN1ISSI0I� PROCESS Al�� PROCEDURES, Sec. 3, Subd. 2. [CNII.
PEI�.aLTY.]
Ku1es (Article 1, Section 4):
There may be advantages to having these matters included in statute rather than giving
the Public Utilities Commission broad rulemaking authority in areas such as uniform
service rules and classifications; local phone number portability; pceservation of
universal and affordable services; service quality standards, etc.
It may be advisab(e to include in statute mandatory requirements for universal service
(Article I�.
l.m.c. 12/2/99 3:26: PAGE 4/9 RightFAX
�0 ���
Inter-connection (Article l, Section 6}:
The langua�e of this section is somewhat azcane and unfamiliar to cities and is lar�ely
unknown to entities other tk�an incumbent re�ional bell operating companies (RBOCs)
and competitive local access providers and long-distance companies. It would be
helpful to simplify and make terms ofthis provision more explicit and easily
understood.
• Alarm Transmission (Article i, Section 3);
Does this section require any modification? Are there implicatioc�s for local public
safety that have notbeen addressed?
Private Shared Tefecommunications Service (Article 1, Section 9)
The circumstances set forth appear to be largely uniamiliar to cities, but it appears that
ihis provision could be applied to shared communications services and equipment
networks which connect city facilities and operations. Do cities benefit from the
inclusion of this provision? What affect do such requirements and obligations have on
city-owned public housing units or other property in which tow-income residents may
require services from a carrier of last resort?
Cross-Subsidization (Article 1, Section 10)
How does this provision p(ay out with respect to the start-up costs and needs of future
municipal telecommunications utilities?
Assessment ofRegufatory Expenses (Article 3, Section 7)
City officials need to talk about the implications ofthis provision re: the
proposed method of assessin� the cost of total PUC expenditures (re: performance of
telecommunications service provider duties) on municipal telecommunications
utilities resard(ess of the e�rtent and nature of their operations.
[Iniversal Service (Article 4}
This is one of the most important features of the bill for the future of local economies
and quality of life in our cities. It is important that cities are comfbrtable and well
served by these requirements, particularly the essential services listed in statute
(Section 1(c) ). The hieher the threshold for services to be included, the more likely
cities will 6e in a position to have access to services that make them competitive with
those provided etsewhere in the state.
in Section 2, should the state be encouraeed to solicit contracts for services on a
regional as weil as on a local basis (resional area networks)?
In Section 3, if the tegislature enacts these universal service provisions, should these
funds be drawn for a broader range of telecommunications services than that described
in this section? Is there a more appropriate and equitable allocation of funding? In
view of the convero nce of telecommunications service providers, is it satisfictory to
l.m.e. 12/2/99 3:26: PAGE 5/9 RightFAX
DO��.�
rely solely on the terms "municipally provided telecommunications content and public
access to p�ovide ihat content"?

2000 LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS
Title: Statewide Youth Sport Facilities/Amateur Sports Commission
I. Eaplain this proposal
There is a growing and very real need for additional youth soccer facilities in the state and in
particular the metro area. Saint Paul has recentiy eazmarked $510,000 for youth soccer facilities
and is currently working on a plan to help fill the needs of youth soccer in the city. Filling the
needs of the youth is an important component the continuing effort to make Saint Paul a more
livable community.
Cunently, a total of $6 million is being requested for a program similar to "Mighty Ducks" (which
was used for youth hockey arena) to help build more soccer fields, and a companion program
dubbed "Mighty Kids" would have the State fund an additional $6 million on other youth athletic
facilities.
II. What are advantages of this proposal
Soccer is the most quickly growing sport in the country and in particular Minnesota. Youth of
Saint Paul need more soccer fields on which to play soccer and to occupy their time in a
productive and healthful fashion. Providing additional soccer fields will help keep Saint Paul's
youth offthe street and out oftrouble.
III. Identify known support
Ramsey County, Soccer Spaces, Minnesota Youth Soccer

2000 LEGISLATIVE BONDING PROPOSALS
Title: Achievement Plus Johason/York
Department/Office: Mayor's Office/Saint Paul Public Schools
StaffContact: Mike CampbelUMary K. Boyd Phone: 266-8537/293-5150
T. Explain this proposal
$5.2 millian is requested to fill the gap due to cost overruns for the Achievement Plus
Johnson/York project. In November of 1997 the Achievement Plus Partners made a proposal to
convert the old Johnson High School located on 740 York into a new Achievement Plus
elementary school. The original estimate of the project was $14.4 million, not including the East
Side XMCA. It is now estimated that the entire project will cost $19.6 million.
The cost overruns are attributable to acquiring 6 more properties than originally anticipated,
higher than anticipated acquisition and relocations costs, and a significant increase in construction
costs due to a rarified construction environment.
II, What are advantages of this proposal
The $5.2 million would allow for the completion of the project. Without the funding, it is
doubtful that Achievement Plus 7ohnson{York will be completed on schedule.
III. Identify known support
The City of Saint Paul, Saint Paul Public Schoois, Ramsey County and the Wilder Foundation.
IV. Identify known opposition to this proposal
V. None

740 York/Achievement Plus Cost History
In November 1991, the Achievement Plus Partners made a proposal to
convert the old Johnson Senior High School (740 York) into a new
Achievement Plus elementary school. Based on our best understanding of the
program, it was estimated that the entire project would cost .4 million,
not including the East Side - A. It is now estimated th t e sa e project
will cost appro�rimately 2 4 'llion. This increase o$7 ' on, which
constitutes our recent request or capital bonding, is attrib a to umber / � /
of important factors in uhat ha amounted to an urban renewal project � L t/
evolved through the design proces These factors are enumerated below:
��9• �n✓
• The site configuration has changed. Originally, we
anticipated acquiring 55 properties at an average cost of
�v60,�00.00. The final acquisition and relocation costs average
about $51,300.00 for 61 properties. Not only has the site
expanded, but the expansion has occurred in the "most expensive
direction". Because of our negotiation and coilaboration with the
neighborhood, it was decided that the YMCA should be built on
the east side of 740 York with all parking appro�cimately 20-30
feet below the York Avenue street level and all access from the
east, off of Arcade. Because of the drastic changes in terrain, this
has proven to be a very expensive civil engineering venture, but
meets the neighborhood needs by reducing traffic in the
residential area. It is also arguable that had we decided to
simply construct a gynuiasium, the acquisition of the property
would not have inc7uded approximately 26 properties and partial
vacation of Wells and Weide Streets. The acquisition and
relocation associated with these 26 properties contributed
approximately two million doliars to the cost of the project, not
inciuding the engineering of the building, parking lot and
driveway into the hillside.
• The acquisition and relocation costs are far higher than
anticipated. The actual costs are appro�mately $1.6 million
more than originally estimated due to two important factors:
1. The real estate market is extremely strong and has
increased t�e value of the properties acquired and the
v� .ue of the replacement housing. It is well established
*�st within approximately the last year or more a per�..0
wishing to purchase a home must generally offer the full
asking price — and often more — in order to secure the
1
property. This is a reflection of a healthy, vibrant �� ��
economy but it is clearly a seller's market, and the school
district, as a condemning public agency, has had to pay
this additional cost.
2. The rental market has been equally strong with vacancy
rates in the range of one to two percent; landlords have
been able to increase their rents and be very selective
about tenants. Because, quite frankly, several of the
tenants with whom we were dealing had less than
perfect rental records and financial' situations, it was
� ery difficult and often very expensive to place these
tenants in apartments or homes. This has now been
accomplished but at a significantly higher cost than
anticipated and often under the suspices of "last-resort
housing." A total of 56 tenants have been relocated.
• Construction costs have increased sigaificaatly. The
construction market has been extremely robust over the past few
years. During this past ye�r, it has become exceedingly difficult to
accurately estimate the construction cost of buildings. This is a
reflection of the very busy construction environment when many
contractors, and especially subcontractors and suppliers, have their
choice of several projects and have therefore escalated their costs
significantly. Delays in delivery of materials and shortage of skilled
workers have been frustrating many building owners as they try to
anticipate costs and stay on schedule. The Saint Paul Public Schools
has experienced this volatile market on many projects, and on some
projects we have even failed to attract a bid because contractors are
so busy.
It should be noted that our current estimate of $7 million in excess costs is an
estimate at this point, and by mid-October, we should have the final bids for
the renovation of the building. (We have already let contracts for asbestos
abatement, window replacement, building demolition, house demolition and
site grading.) 4Ve are hopeful that the bids will not come in as high as
anticipated, but the best advice we are receiving from our consultants is to be
prepared for the worst.

CITY OF SAINT PAUL
2000 LEGISLATIVE BONDING PROPOSALS
Title: Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Headquarters and Laboratory
Departmend0ffice: Minnesota Department of Public SafetyBCA
StaffContact: Frank Ahrens/N'icholas V. O'Hara Phone:651-296-9484b51-642-0600
I. Explain this proposal
The BCA is not able to adequately perform its responsibilities in its current facility. It has
outgrown its current 78,000 square foot headquarters even though the building has undergone
multiple modifications since 1963. BCA programs and personnel are projected to require 227,000
square feet by the year 2009. This bonding request is for $62 million to construct a new BCA
facility on a 7-acre site in Saint Paul located at the corner of Maryland and Prosperity.
II. What are advantages of tt►is proposal
Not funding this project will severely curtail the ability of the BCA to service the law enforcement
community. Cunent turn-around time for forensic evidence is prolonged because of the cramped
conditions and the subsequent inabitity to hire more scientists. Without a new facility, response
time delays will result in slower criminal investigations, slowed prosecution, and delayed
resolution for victims.
IIt. Identify known support

Why does the BCA need a new facility?
The BCA u not abie to adequately perform iu responsib�7iries in iu currenc facility.
The BCA. bas oncgrown ics nsrrenL 78,000 squaze foot headquarcers even though che
buildirag �ias undergone multiple modificarions since 1963. BCA pm�rams and personnel
are pro}etted to require 227,000 square feec by the yeaz 2009.
What wzll happen if this projeet is not funded?
Not funding this pzoject will severely curcail rhe ability of che BC�4 co sesvice the law
enforcement community. Current rum-azound time for forensic evidence is grQlonged
because o# cramped condirions and che subsequens inabiliry to hire more scientists,
Wichouc a new facility, response time delays will zesulc in slowu auninal invescigations,
slawed prosecuuons, and delayed resolution for victims.
Has the BCA considered expansion at its current location?
The pre-design addressed this issue and deceinained that escpansion on the cvrrent site is
not ecouomically feasibie ar operaxionally pracrical.
What is the status of the project?
The pre-deu� was compleced in Juty of 1997. The Laws of 199$, Chapcer 404, Secrion
13, Subdivssion 11, grovided 53,815,000 co design and acquire a sice in Sc. Pau1. The
design documents were completed in June 1999. A 7-acre site has been selecced on the
comez of Mazytand and Prosperiry in Sc. Paul. Ciry, HRA and five of six residenrial
properries have been purchased. Real Estate Management is in negoriauons wirh rhe sixth
residence.
:� . � �
The Laws of 1999, Chapter 216, Arade i, Section 19, appropriated 53,554,000 to complete
design documencs and site prepararion for rhis new facilicy. The projea uchiteets aze
currenrly working with The Leonard Pazker Associates on che design development which

is estunaced to be completed in mid-Oaober,1999. Co�smuaon documen.0 w�ll be
complered byJune of 2000.
Why is the square footage cost of this facility so high2
A major poraon of this faciticy is a forensic scieace laboratory. Laborawries cost more to
build than office space. . A compazison of other crime laboratories built arouad the
councry sance 1994 have averaged about �219/square foot. 'fhe Biomedical bu�7ding at
rhe U of M wi71 cost about 5272lsquare foo�. The currenc consuucaon cost is esrimated
co be 554,000,000 = 227,000 square feet = 5238/square foot.
Have we considered co-location with other agencies or laboratories?
The issue of sharing lab space vrith other agencies hu been discussed numerous times
starang several years ago when the Health Deparrment was considering a new bulding.
Each time che conclvsion has been thac the benefits of cosc effiaency would be
outweighed by the risk of evidence being compromised. The pre-design document covers
rlus subjea in more detail.
What will happen if the project is not funded at the level requested?
' The projea would be delayed due co rhe need to redesign aud Iess funding wouki prevent
`. � the BCA from buiiding a fac.ilitywith any grownc �apaary.

CITY OF SAINT PAUL
2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: Ramsey County Law Enforcement Center
DepartmentlOffice: Ramsey County
Staff Contact: Nick Riley Phone: 651-266-8632
L Explain this proposal
$15 million is requested in state bonds to assist with financing the new Ramsey County Law
Enforcement Campus. The project will address Ramsey County's substantial jail overcrowding
crisis and make significant contributions to riverfront economic development initiative. The LEC
will replace the existing river bluffAdult Detention Center and the Jail Annex located at the Saint
Paul Police Headquarters. This wiil enable private development of the existing Adult Detention
Center for a non-criminal justice use consistent with the initiatives to redevelop the riverfront in
Saint Paui.
The cost of the LEC pro}ect is estimated to be at least $51 million. Ramsey County would be
matching the state bond dollars by more than two to one. The $51 million estimate is a County
staff estimate for a facility that provides significant improvements to the criminal justice system;
however, detailed discussions about co-locating additional agencies, such as offices for Public
Defenders and court staffare continuing, and could increase the size ofthe project.
II. Whnt are advantages of this proposal
The new Law Enforcement Campus would gteatly reduce the jail overcrowding that has become a
significant problem for law enforcement. The development would also free up the Adult
Detention Center for private use adding to the tax rolls.
III. Identify known support
Ramsey County, City of Saint Paul
N. Identify known opposition to this proposll

CITY OF SAINT PAUL
2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: Housing
Lead Agency: Various
L Eaplain this proposal
Quality housing is a major component of healthy vibrant neighborhoods. Saint Paul supports
initiatives which provide increased funding for housing and housing rehabilitation and which make
housing programs and dollars more fle�ble and•accessible. The 1999 session proved successful in
an additional $45 million appropriated for housing in the state of Minnesota. As a consequence,
no new, major housing initiatives are planned for the 2000 session while the new state dollazs are
being spent. However, Saint Paul supports two important initiatives for the 2000 legislative
session.
Elimination of the 6.5% sates tax on materials, supplies and furnishings on affordable
housing.
Continuation of the Livable Communities Act.
II, What are advantages of this proposal
Eliminating the sales t� on affordable housing reduces the cost of construction by an estimated
3% thereby making it less expensive to provide housing.
Continuation of the Livable Communities Act enacted in 1995 wiil provide stimulation for
housing, economic and community development in the metropolitan area. This act permits cities
to access about $I 1 million in funding for pollution clean-up, housing and redevelopment.

2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: State-wide Criminal Database
Department/Office: Mayor's Office
StaffContact: Mike Campbell Phone: 651-266-8537
I. Explain this proposal
The existing Criminal History Records Database maintained by the Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension is de&cient. A 1998 study by the Minnesota Planning Agency identi&ed the
following problems:
• Many jurisdictions do not paRicipate in the database system, thus preventing information
from flowing across county and municipal boundaries;
• It takes an average of 51 to 75 days for data to be entered;
• On1y 51% of all final court dispositions aze entered into the system;
• 37% of all criminal cases are held in a non-accessible "suspense file" due to data errors.
Saint Paul recommends creating a state-wide criminal database system that is updated in a timely
fashion, requires universal participation, and is accessible to law enforcement agencies at the local
level. In addition, increased communication between local jurisdictions is of utmost importance.
Mechanisms should be created that will allow for ]ocai jurisdictions to gather criminal background
infoanation across jurisdictions to provide law enforcement with the information necessary to
adequately prosecute criminals.
Saint Paui supports all legislation and efforts, such as the state-funded pilot project taking place in
Hennepin County, that would facilitate the gathering and use of criminai background information
to assist law enforcement in the prosecution of criminal suspects.
II. What are advantages of this proposal
Because of the problems with the current database system, prosecutors and police suffer the
disadvantage of inadequate information necessary to successfully prosecute criminals. The
inabiiity of police agencies to easily obtain arrest and conviction data is the greatest deterrent to
proper prosecution of criminais. Creating a state-wide database that provides law enforcement
updated criminal histories would be an important and potent tool in the battle against crime and
violence.

SAINT PAUL CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS CALL FOR IMMEDIATE
IMPROVEMENTS TO STATE CRIMIi�AL HISTORY RECORDS DATABASE
Saint Paul City Council Members Mike Harris and Jerry Blakey today called on Governor Jesse Ventura to take
immediate steps to improve the State's criminal history records database. In a letter to the governor, the rivo said
that a lack of timely, accurate and complete information is preve�ting local governments from effectively combatine
gun violence and other violent crimes.
During a City Council discussion on gun violence last month, Harris and Blakey leamed that the Criminal Histor�
Records Database system, which is maintained and operated by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, is deficient.
A 1998 study by the Minnesota Planning Agency identified the following problems:
� many jurisdictions do not participate in the da*.•.'�z .. system, thus preventin� information from
flowing across county and municipal boundaries;
• it takes an avera�e of 51 to 75 days for data to be entered;
• only 51 % of all final court dispositions are entered into the system; and
• 37% of all criminal cases aze held in a non-accessible "suspense file" due to data errors.
Law enforcement officials and prosecutors told the City Council last month that a lack of criminal history
information can (ead to suspects being insufficiently charged and, in some cases, insufficiently sentenced. Man}
state and federal weapons laws allow for enhanced chazges and sanctions against crimina]s who have prior criminal
records.
A study done by the Saint Paul Ciry Attomey's office found '�at neazly half of all suspect; atrested for weapons
charges during 1996-97 were charged with lesser crimes than were possible or were not chazged at all. Errors in
many of these cases were attributed to a lack of information about sLSpects' criminal records from other Minnesota
counties.
"In this `information age' it is unacceptable to maintain a database system that does not give local governments all
of the information they need to fisht violent crime," said Harris. "IYs possible for someone in Saint Paul to get on
the Intemei and find out whether a library book is overdue in Minneapolis. But in many cases our police and
prosecutors cannot readily find oui if someone has committed a violent crime in Minneapolis."
"Our police tell us that they ofren know who aze committing these crimes and that theyjust need the information to
put them away," said Blakey. "Many of the same criminals are perpetratins gun violence in our community over
and oti�er again. At the local level, we need support from the state to protect our residents from the detrimental
effects of gun violence."

Dear Govemor Ventura,
In September, the Saint Paul City Council heid an informationai policy session on gun violence and illegal gun
trafficking. Representatives from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fireanns (ATF), the Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension (BCA), the Saini Paul City Attomey's Office as well as Todd Jones, United States Attomey,
Susan Gaertner, Ramsey County Attorney and Bill Finney, the Saint Paul Chief of Police all described their
agencies' efforts at controlling gun violence through arrests, prosecution and gun tracing.
Each presenter identified the lack of information sharing beriveen agencies as a major impediment to their efforts
to fight gun violence. In Minnesota, law enforcement agencies have difficulty in effectively checking the criminal
background of suspects across jurisdictions within thirty-six hours of an arrest. As a result, many suspects �t ho
have prior convictions in other counties are not being sufficiently chazged.
A siudy conducted by the Saint Paul City Attorney's Office (CAO) of 276 weapons cases that they prosecuted in
1996-97 found that charging errors were made in nearly half of all cases (see Attachment A). Many suspects
who were arrested were charged with lesser crimes than were possible or were not chazged at a11. These esors
were attributed to two primary factors: (i) a lack of grosecutor knowledge of existing weapons laws and (2) a
lack of accessible information on suspects' criminal histories. Since 1997, the CAO has made extensive efforts
to educate prosecutors on weapons laws. However, a lack of criminal history information remains a problem.
A September 1998 study done by Minnesota Plannin; highlighted deficiencies in the BCA's Computerized
Criminai History Records database (see Attachment B). For instance, as of 1996, it took 51 days for arrest data
and 75 days for conviction data to be entered into ihe system. Furthermore, many counties and jurisdictions do
not currently provide arrest and conviction data to the system. In fact, only 51 % of all final court dispositions
were entered into the system. Most troubling is the fact that 37% of all criminal records are held in a"suspensz
file." This file contains records that are not entered into the database because conviction data cannot be linked to
arrest data.
At the same time, a quick review of the State of Wisconsin's cruninal court records database, the Circuit Court
Automation Prograzn (CCAP), shows that their criminal court records aze faz more accessible, timely and
complete than in Minnesota (see Attachment C). Case information is updated every hour. Seventy of
Wisconsin's sevenry-rivo counties participate in the system. Citizens, law enforcement and court personnel ha� e
access to CCAP at public terminals and over the Intemet.

We ask that the State of Minnesota and the BCA take immediate steps to improve upon the criminal histon
records database system. We feei that the following efforts should be made:
• invite or compei more jurisdictions to participate in the system,
• cut down the time in which data is entered into the system,
• streamline the processes and forms through which data is entered into the system in order to
improve timeliness and eliminate mix-ups that uitimately land cases in the "suspense file,"
• improve access to criminal history information, possibly through the Intemet, and
• gamer legislative support and funding to provide a first-class criminal records system.
We understand that there are no easy fixes to gun violence. However, it is pazamount that we as elected leadzrs
give law enforcement all of the tools necessary to fight violent crime. Timely and accurate data is a very
important tool in this "information age." Please help 3aint Paul and other local govemments by giving our
�•`�i ��rs and prosecutors timely, accurate and complete information on the criminal histories of those people �cho
are arrested for violent crimes in our communities.
T'his is a problem that can be fixed — with sufficient commitment and resources — through existing technoloe} .
Please take the lead in creating a first-class criminal records database system in Minnesota. We look forward to
working with you on this important issue. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

%y points from the report titled "Analysis of Gun and FYeapons Cases
Prosecuted by the Saint Pau! City Attorney, I996-1991" by Thomas J. Weyandt
The study includes a detailed analysis of 276 cases involving guns or weapons that were
prosecuted by the Saint Paul Ciry Attorney's Office in 1996 and 1497
The study revealed that 113 (41°l0) of the 27b suspects in these cases had prior crimes
against persons arrests or convictions.
Three basic types of weapons cases are included in this investigation:
"Use cases" - where weapons aze used in an illegal manner,
2 „ Status cases" - where weapons aze possessed by persons who aze prohibited
from having them, and
3. "Possession cases" - where weapons aze found in areas where they aze not
allowed.
Analysis showed that errors were made in 133 (49%) of the 276 cases studied:
Misdemeanor charges were filed in instances where gross misdemeanor or felony
charges were possible - 42 cases.
No felony review was done prior to review by the City Attorney's Office in cases
where the facts presented possible felony chazges - 30 cases.
Police personnel at the time of the arrest failed to document sufficient facts to
consider proper chazges - 19 cases.
Prosecutors or judges made errors in appiying the facts to the 1aw, resultino in
Iesser charges being filed or cases being dismissed -15 cases.
Criminal history and `status' information were not properly investigated prior to
charging the case - I S cases.
Subsequent chazges against a convicted individual were not used to either file a
probation revocation or void a stay of imposition of sentence in the case involved
in the study - 9 cases.
Location of the violation was not properly noted in the police report preventing
enhancement of chazges to either gross misdemeanor or felony level - 5 cases.
pO-�ta
Federal and state laws contain prohibitions preventing the possession of fireanns based on
16 separate types of "status" for the suspect. For example, persons who have been
convicted of crimes of violence, persons confined for mental illness or chemical
dependency, persons who aze fugitives and illegal aliens aze prohibited from possessing
guns and weapons. Analysis showed that 90 (69%) of the 133 errors found involved a
suspect's "status."
In 19 cases it was obvious that felony chazges should have been considered but were not,
either because the police or screening attomey was not aware of the possible felony
charges.
No chazges were filed in 31 cases and 25 cases were dismissed once charges were filed by
the CAO. Of those 56 cases, enors were identified in 37 of them. At least nine of the
cases were potential felonies.
Errors were made in 45/84 (53%) of bail evaluations.

RE: Criminal Justice Information Integrarion
Dear Duane:
Thank you for taking the time to talk with Commissioner Fisher, Wendy Dwyer and me last
week. The purpose of this letter is to give you an update on our efforts to integrate crimmaI
jusrice information across the state.
We aze active in at least four areas; statewide systems, criminal jusiice information integrafion,
CTCC/Hennepin County, and altemative methods/technologies. It is our goal to define the
working relationships between interested parties, audit existing plans, coordinate and integrate
ongoing efforts, and to seek faster and cheaper solurions in each of these azeas.
Statewide Svstems
7rafre safery Th� Deparhnent of Administration, under the leadership of Commissioner Fisher, is
coordinating a variety of statewide efforts including Connecting Minnesota,
telecommunicarions regulatory reform, higher educarion connection efforts, electronic
governntent services and criminal}ustice informafion integra6on. Each of these efforts overlaps
into the others, all of which are very dependent on Connecting Minnesota. Each of these efforts
also has an"execufive sponsor." For example, the Department of Commerce is playing a lead
role in telecommunications regulatory reform.
My department's relarionship to these statewide projects is as follows:
Paul Aasen, DPS Assistant Commissaoner, is a member of the TT mini-cabinet. The
mini-cabinet has been chazged with providing leadership and coordinarion of all the
statewide efforts.
Paul is also the ]ead point of contact for criminal jusfice informarion integration. It is
important to note that Paul's role 3n this azea does not preclude involvement by the
Department ofAdministration. Paul's job is to represent the Ventura Administration's
posirion on the need (the "why"j and on the desired outcome (the "whaY').
Commissioner Fisher and his staff are directly involved with the mefhod of
implementation (the "how'�. I believe CommissionerFisher is going to assign a staff
person to work directiy with paul. This duo will be able to manage the why, what and
how of the projecf.

7anet Cain, DPS CIO, is direcfly involved with electronic govemment services,
particulazly as it relates fo our driver and vehicIe services azea.
We will be assigning a staff person to participate in the Connecting Minnesota effork
T1tis effort will provide a consistent infrastruchue for networking. We aze obviously
interested in ensuring our Greater Minnesota communicafion and service locarions are
connected.
Criminal Justice Information InteQSarion / Criminal Justice Data Network
As mentioned above, the Department of Public Safefy, and Paul Aasen in particulaz, is
the lead for the execurive branch on criminal jusrice infom�ation integration. Paul is
currenfly worldng with the Department of Administration to define how the business
practices desired by public safety can be coordinated with the Department of
Adminish computer system criteria, to coordinate an audit of existing plans
(largely CJCGHennepin County) by the SEARCH group, and to research other
successfiil integration efforts.
A part of information integrarion is the upgrade to the piece of the system we maintain
at the BCA, the Criminal Justice Data Network. Paul is worldng with other DPS staff at
the BCA and in the Office of Technical Support Services to review the existing plans
and to coordinate with the other inYerested parties at the state, Correcrions, Courts, and
Administration.
CSCC / Aennepin Cotmty
We are attempting to detezmine the answer to two questions related to the C3CC's
efforts. First, is the CJCC proposal the best method and will it be a model for other
counties and cities; and, second, what is the real cost of implementing the first yeat of
the proposal.
As mentioned above, Paul Aasen is coordinating an audit of the CJCC proposal by the
SEARCH group. This audit will add to the information provided by the audits currently
being coordinated through yout efforts with the Mumesota Business Partnership.
Two parties aze working on a cost esfimate. Hennepin county staff has been asked by
the county boazd to provide a detailed cost estimate by Thanksgiving. The State's Data
Group is also working on an estimate, but it wi11 not be available unril Febniary. We
]ook fonvazd to teviewing Hennepin County's estimate in the next few weeks.
Altemative Methods / Technoioeies
The audits of the CJCC proposal and of our plans for our own criminal justice network
upgrade will heip us decide if our plans aze reasonable. In addidon, we aze discussing
proposals for test systems using other methods with outside parties. One of the most
promising efforts is the Ramsey County project. Ramsey County has already connected
their Sheriff's department with the state courts and criminal justice data networks. We
need to deteTmine the applicability of their methods on a statewide basis.

sincerely appreciate your help and that of the business partnership to ensure that ois efforts to
coordinate the criminal justice informafion system are consistenf with soymd business p�ctices.

CITY OF SAINT PAUL
2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: Metropolitan Couacil Regional Parks Capital Improvement Requests
DepartmendOffice: Metropolitan CounciUSaint Paul Parks
StaffContact: Ame Stefferud/7ott Wirka Phone: 651-602-1360/266-64ll
L Eapiain this proposal
The Metropolitan Council has prepared a 2000-2001 Capital Improvement Progam totaling
approximately $27 million, inciuding $3.724 million for Saint Paul specific projects. These
projects include:
l�fississippi River Trail

IST'EA Match $1,000,000
Como Park Conservatory
Fern House Restoration $2,294,000
Como Park Central Service Facility
Office(Storage Addition
City Match $ 430,000
II. What are advantages of this proposal
The Mississippi River Traii component matches an authorized $Z million federal ISTEA grant,
and will aliow 1.8 miles of trail and shoreline improvements.
The Como Park Fern House is worn out and in desperate need of replacement. The estimated
number of visits to Como Park in 1998 was 2,418,600. The project is part of a special recreation
feature (Como Conservatory) in Como Regional Park, and replacing it will help keep Como Park
as one of the state's most visited attractions.
The Como Park Storage Faciliry also replaces a worn out structure. Como Park has a nagging
probiem of storage space, and replacing the eacisting facility wili provide much needed space for
maintenance.

Committee, in the upcoming session that will extend state-wide ethano] credits to include the City
of Saint Paul. These credits will be directed specifically to apply to Minnesota Brewing to allow
for the production of 15 million gallons of ethanol. Extending these credits will allow Minnesota
Brewing to leverage $600,000 in financing to complete its ethanol piant.
II. What are advantages of this proposal
Successful passage ofthis legislation will create in Saint Paul the first urban ethanol plant in the
country, and help to save approximately 150 good-paying union jobs in Saint Paul.
III. Identify kuown support
City of Albert Lea, Bingham Lake, Buffalo Lake, Luverne, Preston and Saint Paul, Minnesota
Corn Growers, the Farm Bureau, and the Farmers Union, organized labor
IV. Tdentify known opposition to this proposal

CITY OF SAINT PAUL
2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: Protection of Saint Paul tagpayers and City operatioas through the
Property Taa Study Project and discussions concerning property tax
reform, school funding and local govemment aids.
Department/Office: Various, including the PTSP, LMC and AMM
Staff Contact: Mike Campbell, Jeff Van Wychen Phone: 266-8537/612-379-2060
L Eaplain this proposal
The City of Saint Paul has worked through its membership in the Joint Property Ta�c Advisory
Committee and the Property Tax Study Project to limit the Snancial burden to all of our property
taxpayers. The principals of these groups are that taY and fiscal reform should ensure
accountability and clarity in the system; equity and ta�cpayer impact; revenue adequacy; focused
state assistance; flexibiliry to redesign services and improve effectiveness. Given these criteria,
any additional ta�c rate changes should be reviewed for their impacts on homeowners and on 5aint
Paul's ability to have dependab]e revenue sources for its fiscal future.
2000 legislative priorities for the PTSP will include positions on:
1. Increase the State Share of Special Education Funding
2. Increase State Funding for Family Preservation Aid
3. Enhance State Funding for Local Government Aid
4. Restore the Local Government Sales Tax Exemption
II What are advantages of this proposal
The City of Saint Paul has an exceilent record of fiscal responsibility, keeping the City portion of
the property tax levy at,0% for the last five years. In order to continue to deliver quality services,
the must have a predictable revenue base which protects Saint Paul homeowners from sudden tax
increases and a(so allows the City to provide sound fiscal planning in the future. Through the
JPTAC and the PTSP, Saint Paul is involved in unique collaborative efforts with a focus on
benefitting taxpayers through change in the systems for funding and delivering local government
services. Historically, cities, counties and school districts have not worked together on issues of
this nature. The jurisdictions invalved in this project betieve that this collaborative effoR has the
potential for developing creative, joint solutions to common problems. Approval of the Project's
initiatives are a good step toward future collaborations and joint-efforts.
II Identify known support
Joint Property Tax Advisory Committee members, Joint Property T� Group members,
League ofMinnesota Cities, Association of Metropoiitan Municipalities

Priorities of the Property Tax
fior the 2000 Legislative
Study Project
Session
The property tax is the most antiquated of the major tax bases used to fund pubiic services in
Minnesota. increasingly, the levei of residential property taxes has little to do with the income
of the taxpayer or the level of public services consumed by the taxpayer. Unlike sales and
income taxes, the levei of property taxation frequently increases without an increase in the
taxpayers ability to pay. Furthermore, over time the property tax is the slowest growing of the
major Minnesota tax bases.
A tax system in which some 4evels of government are overly dependent upon an antiquated,
un4air, and slow growing tax base is a tax system that is out of balance. in o�de� to remedy
this situation, the Praperty Tax Study Project is committed to legislative initiatives that will:
• Diversify local government revenue sources in order to reduce dependence on the
propercy tax
• Ensure that programs that are mandated hy the state or federal govemments are funded
by the state or federai governme�ts.
In order to advance these objectives, the PropeRy Tax Study Project is proposing that the
Minnesota legislature consider enacting the foilowing initiatives during the 2000 legislative
session.
Increase the State Share of Special Education Funding
P�oposal• lncrease the percentaqe of special education exoenses that is funded 6V the
state.
Rationale
School district spending for speciai education services is driven by factors beyond the control
of school districts, inciuding court, state, and federai mandates.
A report recently completed by the Department of Children, Famiiies, and Learning reveais the
extent to which school districts use general education revenues to augment state resources
dedicated to finance the provision of special education services. According to this report, the
cross-subsidization of special education from general education resources was 5288 mil{ion in
FY 1998. �
�
Minnesota FY 1998 Total Speciai
Education Expenditure: 5792 Million
Other
Revenues
63.7%
Adjusted Net
Cross-Subsidy
36.3%
�p,y0
Based on the CFl report, the adjusted net cross-subsidy of speciai education from general
education revenues comprised over one-third of ail specia4 education expenditures statewide
in FY 1998. A t997 report by the Legisfative Auditor's Office found that schooi district
spending o� special education grew at twice the rate of generai education spending behveen
1988 and 1995.
Every schooi district in the state finances a general education program in direct competition
with special education services. However, the competition for resources is tiVted in favor of
speciai education because the likelifiood of being held legalfy accauntable for Yhe provision of
speciai education services is much highes.
Federai and state law creates the obiigation on the part of Iocal school districts to provide a
"free and appropriate pubiic education" (FAPE) to all enroiled students with physical,
emotional, or mental disabilities. The level or service is established by an Individuai Education
Planning team with representation of all service/care providers for the student and the
studenYs family based on the student's need. Further, famiiies and advocacy organizations
always have recourse to the courts to obtain the {evei of service they feel is entitled u�der the
law.
During the last lwo decades we have seen four trends accelerate the growth in the cost of
special education services:
1.) School age disabled chiidren formerly cared for in an institutional setting (such as regional
treatment centers) have been deinstitutionalized and returned to pubiic schoois as a lower-
cost service provider. Pubiic education settings are the feast restrictive environmenttor
many disabled children.
2.) Advances in medicai technology have increased the number of inedically fragile students
who sucvive and can be cared for in educationai settings.
3.) Court, state, and federal mandates continuz to increase the level of service expected from
school districts. For example, a recent Supreme Court decision arising from a case in
lowa (Cedar Rapids V. Garret F.) determined that schooi districts are responsible for alI
medical services for medicaily fragile students up to but not inciuding resuscitation.
4.) An increase the incidence of high-cost disabilities such as autism, deaf and hard of
hearing, and multip{y diseb{ed children age birth to th�es has resulted in further inaeases
in the expense of providing special education seniices.
�b��D
Whiie courts and the state and federal govemments have increased the level of special
education services school districts are expected to provide, adequate new resources have not
been appropriated to finance the new sarvices. The result is a steady erosion of revenue
availabie for generai education.
Current law reimburses school districts for a portion of their speciai education expenditures.
the generaf education formula reimburses at the rate of 68 percent of instructional expenses
not inciuding benefits. Without benefits this formula reimburses roughly half of the totai
instructionai expenses until expenditures statewide exceed an appropriated cap, which in FY
1998 was less than half of the total documented amount of special education expenditures. At
this point state reim6ursements are prorated to each disUict on a propoRional basis.
The 1999 Legislature did move to increase the state commitment to speciai education funding
by increasing the cap on statewide appropriations through FY 2001 and enriching the speciai
education excess cost formula to pick up a greate� share of the costs not covered by the basic
specia( education formula.
What the Proposa/ Will Accomo/ish
State assumpt+on of a greater share of financiai responsibility for special education will free up
generai education resources to ensure that the educationa( reforms currently on the books will
successfully bring all students to basic skills proficiency and progress towards high standards.
Pubiic education is at a crossroad. We are entering a period where khe majority of schoot
districts wiil experience decfining enrollments; consequently, revenue associated with
enrofiment wiii also decfine. This will put additionaf sttain on genera{ education resouroes.
This strain can be reduced by reducing the cross-subsidization of special education services
from general education resources.
State education reforms have changed how we measure success in education and demand a
higher levei of productivity from schoois. The pubiic expects afl students to graduate with the
basic skilis of reading and math. The pubiic aiso expects aii students to make progress
towards higher order skiils described in the graduation standards. The likelihood of attaining
these goals is increased if general education resources do not have to be diverted to fund
other services.
Increasing the state share of speciai education finance wili help to ensure that the state is
paying for a larger percentage of mandated programs. Until the state and federal govemment
give states the tools to provide special education services in a"managed care" model that
permits school districts to impose some measure of cost control, the state should assume the
lion's share of the responsibility for financing these services.
Because the funding of speciai education has diverted resources away from general
education, many districts have had to pass referenda in order to adequately fund generai
education. Reducing the cross-subsidization of special education from generai education
revenues will reduce the need for referendum levies, thereby helping to hold down property
taxes.
Increase State Funding for Family Preservation Aid
Do-�o
Rationale
Family Preservation Aid was created in order to reduce county property tax burdens
attributabie to child weifare and out-of-home placement expenses by increasing the state
funding for these services. in 2000, 521.7 miliion in Family Preservation Aid will be distributed
to the 87 Minnesota counties.
Chiid servSce and out-of-home piacement expenses are among the most rapidly growing
areas of public expenditures. Nationwide and witfiin Minnesota, there has been a rapid
increase in:
• The number of children involved in investigatio�s of abusa and neglect
• The number of children with substantiated reports of maitreatment
• The number of children removed from homes
These increases have far outpaced the rate of growth in total popuiation.
In addition io an increase in the number of cases of child abuse, negiect, and maltreatment,
there has also been an increase in the severity of these cases. According to an Urban
institute report, chiid we}fare workers in Mi�nesota note that the ievei of neglect seen today is
more severe than in the past. More severe cases of neglect cail for more drastic and
expensive interventions.
A 1999 repo[t from the legisiative Auditor notes that statewide piacement spending Qer
Minnesota resident under age 18 in real (i.e., inFlation adjusted) doilars increased by 22
percent from 1992 and 1997. Comparable nationwide data is not availabie; however, these
trends in Minnesota seem to roughiy coincide with nationai trends. According to the report
from the Legislative Auditor, most human service directors in Minnesota expect piacement
spending to continue to increase faster than the rate of inflation in coming years.
Whife Minnesota appears to be fairly typicai among states in terms of ths growth in child
wetfare caseloads and out-oi-home placement costs, Minnesota is somewhat unique in terms
of how tfiese expenses are funded. According to the report from the Legfslative Auditor,
Minnesota relies more heavily on local revenues—especia(ly properry tax revenues—to pay
for social services, inciuding child piaceme�t costs.

The above cha�t does not take into account the increase in Family Preservation Aid enacted
fo� 2000. The Property Tax Study Project estimates that this increase would be sufficient to
reduce the county share of out-of-home piacement funding by approximately 8 percent (from
59 percent to 51 percent). According to the Legislative Auditors report, Minnesofa is one of
only seven stafes in which local revenues provide mo�e fhan 20 percenf of child welfare
funding. The Legislative Auditor also notes that the primary souroe of county revenues used
to fund ouf-of-home placemenfs is the p�operfy tax.
Minnesota's heavy dependence on the property tax to fund out-of-home piacement has
several implications:
• The totai property tax burden in the state is increased. As noted above, the property tax is
the most antiquated and slowest growing of the major taxes and the one that is the Ieast
related to taxpayer's ability to pay.
• Due to the di�culty involved in generating increased revenue from the property tax, there
is a serious potentiai that child welfare and out-of-home piacement expenses will be
under-funded. According to the Legislative Auditor's report, about haif huma� service
directors in the state feel that "budget considerations have limited their abiiity to provide
the care and services that children need."
• The reports from both the Legislative Auditor and the Urban institute note significant
variatio�s in the level of funding for chiid services among Minnesota counties that can be
attributed to differences in propeRy tax wealth.
What the ProAOSaI Will Accomolish
Significant increases in Famiiy Preservation Aid will help to reduce the least popular and most
unfair of the major Minnesota taxes: the property tax. In addition, increases in Family
Preservation Aid will heip to ensure adequate funding for criticai child weifare services and
help to reduce the disparity in funding among Minnesota counties that exists due to disparities
in property wealth.
Enhance State Funding for Local Government Aid (LGA)
rg owfh•
Rationale
Cities provide a variety of necessary public services. However, cities differ in terms of thei�
ability to gene�ate revenue. In addition, due to differences in demographic characteristics
(e.g., more crime, older housing stock, etc.), cities also differ i� terms of their expenditure
need. The purpose of LGA is to help equalize tax burden disparities among communities that
exist due to difEerences in expend+ture need and reve�ue raising capacity.
In addition, LGA exists in order to ensure that cities are not exclusively dependent upon the
propesty tax. The property tax is the most antiquated of the major Minnesota taxes and the
one that is least related to a taxpayer's abillty to pay. !n addition, the QropeRy tax is the
s{owest growing of the major Minrtesota taxes. lGA provides a way of sharing growth in state
sales and income tax revenues with cities, thereby diversifying the revenue base of cities and
providing greater balance in the mix of revenues uQon which city governments depend.
0
LGA funding in reat dollacs per capita peaked in 1989, 6ut has declined sharply since then.
For the year 2000, city LGA in real dottats per capita is less then at any time since 1976.

Do _�O
While LGA in reai doilars per capita has declined since 1976, statewide personai income has
grown by approximately 47 percent. Clearly, funding for city LGA has failed to keep pace with
growth in personal income and with growth in the state's economy generally.
When state funding for LGA decreases, property taxes increase. The foliowing graph shows
the change in total statewide city revenue base (i.e., sum of levy and state aids), levy, and
aids from 1990 to 1999.

Cities
During the period from 1990 to 1999, statewide city levies in real dollars per capita grew by
10.4 percent. However, this growth in levi2s cannof be attributed to a growth in spending,
since during the same period the totai sta;ewide ciry revenue base deciined by 1.6 percent.
Rather, the increase in levies is due to a dacline in state aids to cities. Totai state aids to
cities, including LGA, has declined signincontly since 1990; LGA—the singie largest city aid
program—has declined by just over 21 percent in real doilars per capita. 7hus, growth in city
levies can be attributed to the decline in city aids.

What the Pr000sal �!! Accomnlish
Linking growth in city LGA to growth in state tax revenues would allow ciry expenditures to
keep pace with inflation and population growth without increases in ciry Ievies. The proposal
put forth here will resuit in a true revenue sharing program between the state and city
govemments that wiil heip to hoid city property tax burdens constant or even reduce ihem
over time.
Restore the Local Government Sales Tax Exemption
Rationale
When one level of govemment taxes another, the resuit is usually a loss of accountability.
Ultimately, taxpayers pay all tax burdens. When the state governme�t imposes a sales tax on
local governments, local governments in turn pass the tax burden on to focai taxpayers,
frequentiy in the form of higher property taxes. The portion of tfie local tax burden attributable
to the state saies fax on loca4 governments appears to taxpayers to be a local tax, when in
fact the revenue being generated goes to state government, not to local government. In this
way the state saies tax on local governments increases the complexity of the tax system and
reduces accountability.
The local government exemption from the state sales tax was repeaied in 1992 as a way of
generating more revenue for the state, which was then experiencing a significant budget
shorCfaif. Given that the reason for imposing the saies tax an {ocai governments (i.e., the
revenue shocttali) has iong since disappeared, there is no good reason for maintaining this
sales tax. To continue to tax local governments in order to inflate the state surplus is bad
pubiic policy.
The state currently controls the two most rapidly growing taxes: income and sales.
Meanwhile, local governments are heavily dependent on property tax revenues, which
historically have not grown as rapidfy as income and sales tax revenues. Given that the state
has abundant resources, it makes little sense for the state to impose a tax on local
governments.
What the Pr000sal Wi!l AccomplisA
Restoring the locai government saies tax exemption will restore a degree of accountability to
the tax system and, in many instances, reduce the property tax, which is the most antiquated
of the major taxes and the one that is least related to taxpayers' ability to pay.

2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: Motion Imaging Recording System/Traffic Law Compliance
DepartmentJOffice: Mayor's Office
StaffContact: Mike Campbell Phone: 651-266-8537
I. Explain this proposal
In order to promote greater public and vehiculaz safety, legislation wili be introduced in the
upcoming session that requests legislative action authorizing utilization of motion imaging
recording system technology for govemmental units, including cities, on streets and highways to
assist promotion of safety and traffic law comptiance enforcement. One recent study at the
intersection of Saint Anthony and Snellin� in Saint Paul indicated an avera?e of 180 red-light
violations per hour in the south-bound lane alone. It is expected that the use of M.I.R.S. will
greatly reduce the number of traffic violations, and increase public safety.
II. Wh�t are �dvantnges of this proposll
The use of M.I.R.S. will provide enforcement assistance to Saint Paul's, and other municipalities'
overburdened traffic compliance officers. The proven technology of this tool will accurately
identify and ticket traffic violators, thereby reducin� the number of violations increasing public
safety.
III. Identify known support

PART I. INTRODUCTION
� T1vs report documents the study and testin� of a technology designed to detect
and record violations of certain traffic con�ol devices in Minnesota. The system utilizes
one of severat detection methods to determine the occunence of a specific velucle
� violation, and then activates a camern to photo�aph the vehicle. The usual nomenclature
for this type of technology is photo radar or photo enforcement. However, as this study
did not contain any aspect of active enforcement, a less threatening appeilation was
� adopted. The system was called the Motion Ima�ing Recording System (MIRS).
T'his type of technology is used in over 30 other countries. It was first used in the
� United States for enforcement purposes in 1987, in the city of Paradise V alley, Arizona
Since then iu usage has been rapidly expanding to other U.S. cities including, but not
limited to, New York City, New York; Los Angeles, Sacramento, Pasadena, and San
� Francisco, California; Jackson, Michigan; Portland and Beaverton, Oregon; Fort Collins
and Commerce City, Colorado; Fairfax City, Virginia; and Fort Meade, Florida.
� This report was adopted by the MIRS Steering Conunittee on January 12, 1998.

St. Paul
It was decided that the first installation would be located at the intersection of
Snellin� Ave_ and St. Anthony Ave, in St. Paul, monitorin� violations on southbound
Snellin� Ave.(see appendix A). This site is very ambitious in that there are fout lanes of
southbound uaffic as we1l as a protected ri?ht turn lane. St Anthony Ave_ is the noRh
ftonta�e road above I-94 and is a one way street, westbound. Concordia Ave. is the south
fronta�e road above the interstate and is a one way street eastbound. This intersection is
a major entrance point to the interstate and accomodates over 17,000 southbound
vehicles each day.
As southbound traffic on Snellin� Ave. passes over I-94, lane 4(closest to the
center median) is a left turn oaly onto Concordia Ave., lane 3 is a shared left turn or thru
lane, lane 2 is a thru lane and 1ane i is a thru lane which merges with lane 2 south of
Concordia Ave. A large percentage of the southbound traffic tums left and enters I-94.
The installation on Sneiling Ave. was operational for parts of five months, from
late 2�3ovember 1996 throu�h the end of April 1997. No testing was conducted from
� December 3, 1996 through February 6, 1997 due to the malfunctioning of the equipment
(see Part V, Efficiency of Equipment).
�
�
Over the five months of operation, there were riventy-four deployments (sepazate
operations of the camera with new film) that ran from a single day duration to five days
duration. An attempt was made to spread the testing out over different parts of the
month and most importantly over different ciays of the week, to have a more concise
record of when violations were occurring. A breakdown of the deployments by day aze
as follows-
� Monday 11
Tuesday 8
� Wednesday 6
Thursday 7
- Fridav �
� Saturday 6
Sunday 7
�
�
�
�
�
�
Dwin� the period the camera was operational at least some testing was conducted on 24
days that fell betr,veen the first and the fifteenth of the month, and 26 days that fell
between the sixteenth and the end of the month.
The camera ran for 712 hours and 52 minutes and detected 5,378 violations. This
is approximately 180 per day, or about 7.� per hour. Fi�ur2 6 is a baz �aph which
shows the number of �iolations for each hour of the day. The greatest number of
violations occurred beriveen 2:00 - 3:d0 PM. This is surprisin� because it is afrer the
lunch hour rush and before the afternoon rush hour. Speculation has been made ihat
because the testin� period was during the school year, perhaps this is the time that
nearby hiQh schools were lettina out for the day. Another speculation was that it mi�tt
be sales and delivery people runnin� tate and realizing that they have "X"' number of
stops yet to make before they can �o home.

Title: Voluntary State Registration/Licensing for Massage and Oriental
Bodywork Tl�erapists
DepartmendOffice: Saint Paul Licensing Inspection and Environmental Protection
StaffContact: BobKessler Phone:651-266-9112
I. Eaplain th'ss proposal
Currently, massage and oriental bodywork therapists are licensed by cities and municipalities.
Legislation wiil be proposed in the 20001egislative session that will give massage and oriental
bodywork therapists the option of voluntarily registering with the state of Minnesota or remaining
licensed under city and municipal jurisdictions. The statute also grandfathers in certain
requirements, but not limited to, such as 100 hours of supervised massage therapy instruction,
liability insurance, that therapists be 18 years or older, a willingness to abide by a code of ethics
established by the Board.
Those therapists who register with the state will be exempt from local ordinances.
II. What are advantages of this proposal
This proposed legislation would piace upon the state of Minnesota part of the requirement to
license and monitor therapists removing this part of this burden from the City of Saint Paul. It
would also provide the added benefii of creating a centralized repository of therapists, create rules
under which therapists must operate and codify criminal penalties.

2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Titie: Small Business Regulatory Relief
Department/Office: MCDA
Staff Contact: Eric Nathanson Phone: 612-673-5183
I Egplain this proposal
The Minnesota Business 5ubsidies Act provides the definition of a business subsidy, and places
significant reporting requirements on businesses that receive such subsidies. This policy proposal
changes part of the definition of a small business subsidy, and exempts certain business activities
from the Business Subsidies Act. Essentially the amendments address five issues in the Act:
1. Raises the threshotd that triggers requirements and reporting from $25,000 to $100,000.
2. Exempts small businesses as defined in MN Statute 645.445.
3. Exempts, with no repoRing requirements, subsidies for polluted sites and redevelopment.
4. Exempts heritage preservation activities.
5. Exempts tax exempt revenue bonds.
II What are advantages of this proposal
This bill will reduce the reporting requirements for small businesses and provide significant
regulatory relief. Such relief will assist small businesses that are struggling to stay in the inner city
and serve its residents.

Summary
Proposed Amendments to the 1449 Business Subsidies Law
Secrion 1. This section makes several changes to the existing exemptions and adds one.
Among the changes aze the folioWing:
• Ciause 1 is amended to increase the threshold to $ l QQ,000. The
amendment is proposed to reflect se�ezal state and local govemment
programs that pro�ide less than $100,000 and are not always intended to
create jobs. This change would exclude such projects as those funded by
DT£D's nuat redevelopment and micro-enterprise funds and other _
projects of similar scale.
♦ Clause 5 extends the exemption to include designated historic pceservation
districts.
♦ Clause 8 adds a reference to the tax increment financizag hazardous
substance subdisnict. The intent of this change is to clazify that the
existing ]anguage specifically includes this TIF subd'zstrict as a po)lution
control or abatement activity.
♦ Clause 14 is modified to clarify that bonds (ssued on behalf of a non-profit
organization aze exempt. Current law exempts only those bonds which are
subject to the state's bond volume cap for private activity bonds issued by
a focal or state government on behaif of a private entity. 7his change
wouid extend the exemption to similar bonds not subject to the volume
cap.
♦ Clause 19 is a new exemption. A smalJ business is defined in state law.
The reference to the Minnesota 1aw is included in section 2.
Section 2. This change provides a statutory reference to the Minnesota statutory
definition of small business. A small business is defined fo be a for-profit entaty that has
no moze than twenty £uil-time employees or, in the pcecedin� yeaz fiscal yeaz, had no
more than $1 million ($2.5 million £oz technical or pro£essional services) in annual gross
revenues. The small business must not be affiliated with or a subsadiary of a business
thatexceedsthese thresholds.
��—�0
Section 3. This sectioz� includes a change to clarify that increasing the tax base is a
legitimate public purpose. Current law is open io the interpretation that increasing the tax
base is not a permissibie public ptupose.
This section also includes a change that zeplaces the word "imminenY' �vith the word
"specific."
Section 4. The change in Clause 6 would allow a recipient of a business subsidy to move
locations within the five-yeaz commitment period but only with grantor approvai. The
change in Ciause 8b allows a grantor to structure a�-ant as a forgivable loan and
pro��ides consistency with the language in the following sentence.
12l02/1999 23:58 6514876991 BONNIE B�,LACH PAGE 03
00 -��
Section 5. This change will tequiie tha grantoz to determine whether a Qroject is
desigied to create jobs, and therefore, if the subsidy agreement will include job and wage
goals. The public wouid have an opportunity to comment on this determination at the
required pubiic hear9ng. Curzent law requires the grantor to include job and wage goals in
subsidy agreements foz projects that are not intended to create jobs, but rather, have a
variery of other legitimate goals, such es reducing crime, improving ihe workplace,
providing equipment, or redeveloping property.
This section also includes a change (identical to that in Section 3) that replaces the word
"iznminenf' with the word `specific."
Section 6. In many instances the final subsidy agreement is not complete at the time of
the public hearing and therefore may not be available at that time. This change would
clazify that making a summary of the subsidy agreement available is sufficient for the
purpose of the public hearing. The summary would inc]ude the proposed business points

CITY OF SAINT PAUL
2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: Telecommunications Revisions
DepartmenUOffice: Mayor's OfficelSaint Pau] TNIS
StaffContact: NfikeCampbelUHollyHansenPhone:651-266-8537l266-8875
I. Explain this proposal
Minnesota's cities have regulated cable franchises for twenty years. Cities have had the authority
to negotiate and oversee nonexclusive cable franchises to suit each community. During the Z000
legislative session, the Minnesota Legislature plans to consider a number of proposals which
would change the way cable franchises are regulated in the state. Some of these proposals would
eliminate the city's role in cable regulation and administration; franchise fees now paid to cities
would be pooled in a state-wide fund.
The City of Saint Paul will oppose any legislation that would remove its ability to regulate cable at
the local level. Specifically, 5aint Paul will oppose any efforts to take its franchise rights and fees
that derive from its franchising rights.
Currentiy, the City of Saint Paul receive approximately $1.3 miilion franchise fees, hatf of which
are retumed to the general fund. Additional grants of approximately $630,000 required by the
franchise are aiso used to finance Saint Paul Neighborhood Network (SPNI� which provides
Public and Educationa] access and playback for government Access, collectively referred to as
PEG (Public Educationai and Government) access.
Saint Paul will support only that legislation which maintains its franchise right and the ability to
coilect franchising fees, and allows the city to maintain its regulatory control.
II. What are advantages of this proposal
Losing franchising ri�hts wou(d remove local control that Saint Paul cucrently enjoys over cable
services. Saint Paul, through its regulatory ab'tlity with cable, has been able to tailor the deliver of
cable services to its citizens in a way that supports and protects the consumer. Saint Paul has also
been able to require cable operators to include PEG access as a requirement of of receiving the
franchise which is a clear benefit to residents. Maintaining current franchising rights wiil allow
Saint Paui to continue to collect franchise fees, and regutatory control wiil keep cable delivery
accountable and responsible to the people.
III. Identify known support

SAMPLE RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the City of has been granted the legal authority to
negotiate, award and regulate cabie television franchises under both federel
statute Title 6 and Minnesota State statute Chapter 238; and
WHEREAS, the City of accepted the respons+bility that comes with
the awarding of the cable te{evision franchise, inciuding ensuring that the
cabie company meets the identified"needs of the community such as
community television and institutionai networks and serving as a locai
resource to resolving customer service issues; and
WHEREAS, state legislation has been proposed that would repeal Chapter
238 and revoke the City's authority to award a cable television franchise,
e(iminate the City as a loca! resource to its citizens for resofving customer
service issues, and remove the City's ability to receive direct support for
community television and other provisions that meet community needs; and
WHEREAS, it has not been demonstrated by any means that local
governments' role in cable franchising impedes in any manner the ability of
cable and telecommunications companies to offer full and competitive
services; and
WHEREAS, while the City of acknowiedges the regulatory chailenge
of addressing the convergence of voice, video and data services, loca(
governments are essential to any legislative discourse +n this area and must
retain authority to ensure continued local support for its comm�nity;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOIVED that the City ofi must retain
its authority to franchise companies providing cable television services and is
hereby opposed to any legisiation that would revoke this authority and that it
further asserts its Constitutional rights to retain its local authority to enter
into contracts to serve its community.

Scape and exercise of Ioca1, franchise autkarity
This addresses the fundamental question if video programming should be included within the
ambit of the leaislation. (Currently it is.) There is a stron¢ly held municipal belief that issues
associated with cable pro�amming are best managed at the local level This also raises the
obvious concern about the future of focal cable franchise revenue.

The law says that a"person has authority to provide telecommunication services if ..." We
believe the intent of the fegislation is to include municipalities wiihin the definition of
person." However, given the controversy that mieht well arise concernins this issue, we
believe it would be wise to give municipalities the explicit authority to establish municipal
telecommunications utilities.

Q Q �O
Servicer ro be inciuded ir: universal service
The legislation describes several "services that should be considered for inclusion as
universal" Outstate smaller cities should be very concemed a6out what appeazs in the final list
because ii may well define for years to come how well cities are served by emerging
technology.
Local Zor:ing Authority over telecommunicaYions faciliries placed in right-of-tivay.
U.S. West and others have taken the view in the past several months that local �overnments
do not possess authority to a�ply zoning cEquirements to above ground telecommunication
facilities placed in the right-of-way. Staff believes that we ought to use this legislation to
clarify municipaf wning authority in this area in the aftermath the 1997 right-of-way
legislation.
Eligible Munici�l Activities to he financed out of proposed rn:iversal service fur:d.
Assuming a univecsal service fund is created, cities should have a particular interest in seeing
that eligible activities financed out of the fund include mo� than just the tiaditional ca61e
related activities. If the charge is goin� to be imposed on all telecommunications service
providers, the fund may well be used to enhance the ability of cities to attcact and retain a
broad spectrum of telecommunications related services to a community.
Other Topics Addressed That Could Affect Cities.
Performance Guaranty (Article 1, Section 3):
The requirement to furnish a performance bond (or other financial instrument) is
worded in an ambiguous manner. How are compensatory damaQes to 6e determined?
Can cities draw on the amount of the guaranty drawn upon to address failure of a
provider to meet quality of service or service delivery? Requirements? What are the
procedures for filing complaints under this section?
Lea�ue staff sueaests that the guaranty be viewed as a mechanism to provide for
liquidated damages to recoup civil penalties under 237A.25 (Article 3
CON iN1ISSI0I� PROCESS Al�� PROCEDURES, Sec. 3, Subd. 2. [CNII.
PEI�.aLTY.]
Ku1es (Article 1, Section 4):
There may be advantages to having these matters included in statute rather than giving
the Public Utilities Commission broad rulemaking authority in areas such as uniform
service rules and classifications; local phone number portability; pceservation of
universal and affordable services; service quality standards, etc.
It may be advisab(e to include in statute mandatory requirements for universal service
(Article I�.
l.m.c. 12/2/99 3:26: PAGE 4/9 RightFAX
�0 ���
Inter-connection (Article l, Section 6}:
The langua�e of this section is somewhat azcane and unfamiliar to cities and is lar�ely
unknown to entities other tk�an incumbent re�ional bell operating companies (RBOCs)
and competitive local access providers and long-distance companies. It would be
helpful to simplify and make terms ofthis provision more explicit and easily
understood.
• Alarm Transmission (Article i, Section 3);
Does this section require any modification? Are there implicatioc�s for local public
safety that have notbeen addressed?
Private Shared Tefecommunications Service (Article 1, Section 9)
The circumstances set forth appear to be largely uniamiliar to cities, but it appears that
ihis provision could be applied to shared communications services and equipment
networks which connect city facilities and operations. Do cities benefit from the
inclusion of this provision? What affect do such requirements and obligations have on
city-owned public housing units or other property in which tow-income residents may
require services from a carrier of last resort?
Cross-Subsidization (Article 1, Section 10)
How does this provision p(ay out with respect to the start-up costs and needs of future
municipal telecommunications utilities?
Assessment ofRegufatory Expenses (Article 3, Section 7)
City officials need to talk about the implications ofthis provision re: the
proposed method of assessin� the cost of total PUC expenditures (re: performance of
telecommunications service provider duties) on municipal telecommunications
utilities resard(ess of the e�rtent and nature of their operations.
[Iniversal Service (Article 4}
This is one of the most important features of the bill for the future of local economies
and quality of life in our cities. It is important that cities are comfbrtable and well
served by these requirements, particularly the essential services listed in statute
(Section 1(c) ). The hieher the threshold for services to be included, the more likely
cities will 6e in a position to have access to services that make them competitive with
those provided etsewhere in the state.
in Section 2, should the state be encouraeed to solicit contracts for services on a
regional as weil as on a local basis (resional area networks)?
In Section 3, if the tegislature enacts these universal service provisions, should these
funds be drawn for a broader range of telecommunications services than that described
in this section? Is there a more appropriate and equitable allocation of funding? In
view of the convero nce of telecommunications service providers, is it satisfictory to
l.m.e. 12/2/99 3:26: PAGE 5/9 RightFAX
DO��.�
rely solely on the terms "municipally provided telecommunications content and public
access to p�ovide ihat content"?
• Right-of-Way (Article 5)
Changes have been pmposed to delete the provision ((237A4�, Section 2, Subd. 5(b)
to conform to changes to pmvisions adopted by the 1994 legislature (which removed
the bindin� azbitiation requirements of the statute as per an aereement between the
telephone industry and local government units}.

2000 LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS
Title: Statewide Youth Sport Facilities/Amateur Sports Commission
I. Eaplain this proposal
There is a growing and very real need for additional youth soccer facilities in the state and in
particular the metro area. Saint Paul has recentiy eazmarked $510,000 for youth soccer facilities
and is currently working on a plan to help fill the needs of youth soccer in the city. Filling the
needs of the youth is an important component the continuing effort to make Saint Paul a more
livable community.
Cunently, a total of $6 million is being requested for a program similar to "Mighty Ducks" (which
was used for youth hockey arena) to help build more soccer fields, and a companion program
dubbed "Mighty Kids" would have the State fund an additional $6 million on other youth athletic
facilities.
II. What are advantages of this proposal
Soccer is the most quickly growing sport in the country and in particular Minnesota. Youth of
Saint Paul need more soccer fields on which to play soccer and to occupy their time in a
productive and healthful fashion. Providing additional soccer fields will help keep Saint Paul's
youth offthe street and out oftrouble.
III. Identify known support

2000 LEGISLATIVE BONDING PROPOSALS
Title: Achievement Plus Johason/York
Department/Office: Mayor's Office/Saint Paul Public Schools
StaffContact: Mike CampbelUMary K. Boyd Phone: 266-8537/293-5150
T. Explain this proposal
$5.2 millian is requested to fill the gap due to cost overruns for the Achievement Plus
Johnson/York project. In November of 1997 the Achievement Plus Partners made a proposal to
convert the old Johnson High School located on 740 York into a new Achievement Plus
elementary school. The original estimate of the project was $14.4 million, not including the East
Side XMCA. It is now estimated that the entire project will cost $19.6 million.
The cost overruns are attributable to acquiring 6 more properties than originally anticipated,
higher than anticipated acquisition and relocations costs, and a significant increase in construction
costs due to a rarified construction environment.
II, What are advantages of this proposal
The $5.2 million would allow for the completion of the project. Without the funding, it is
doubtful that Achievement Plus 7ohnson{York will be completed on schedule.
III. Identify known support
The City of Saint Paul, Saint Paul Public Schoois, Ramsey County and the Wilder Foundation.
IV. Identify known opposition to this proposal
V. None

740 York/Achievement Plus Cost History
In November 1991, the Achievement Plus Partners made a proposal to
convert the old Johnson Senior High School (740 York) into a new
Achievement Plus elementary school. Based on our best understanding of the
program, it was estimated that the entire project would cost .4 million,
not including the East Side - A. It is now estimated th t e sa e project
will cost appro�rimately 2 4 'llion. This increase o$7 ' on, which
constitutes our recent request or capital bonding, is attrib a to umber / � /
of important factors in uhat ha amounted to an urban renewal project � L t/
evolved through the design proces These factors are enumerated below:
��9• �n✓
• The site configuration has changed. Originally, we
anticipated acquiring 55 properties at an average cost of
�v60,�00.00. The final acquisition and relocation costs average
about $51,300.00 for 61 properties. Not only has the site
expanded, but the expansion has occurred in the "most expensive
direction". Because of our negotiation and coilaboration with the
neighborhood, it was decided that the YMCA should be built on
the east side of 740 York with all parking appro�cimately 20-30
feet below the York Avenue street level and all access from the
east, off of Arcade. Because of the drastic changes in terrain, this
has proven to be a very expensive civil engineering venture, but
meets the neighborhood needs by reducing traffic in the
residential area. It is also arguable that had we decided to
simply construct a gynuiasium, the acquisition of the property
would not have inc7uded approximately 26 properties and partial
vacation of Wells and Weide Streets. The acquisition and
relocation associated with these 26 properties contributed
approximately two million doliars to the cost of the project, not
inciuding the engineering of the building, parking lot and
driveway into the hillside.
• The acquisition and relocation costs are far higher than
anticipated. The actual costs are appro�mately $1.6 million
more than originally estimated due to two important factors:
1. The real estate market is extremely strong and has
increased t�e value of the properties acquired and the
v� .ue of the replacement housing. It is well established
*�st within approximately the last year or more a per�..0
wishing to purchase a home must generally offer the full
asking price — and often more — in order to secure the
1
property. This is a reflection of a healthy, vibrant �� ��
economy but it is clearly a seller's market, and the school
district, as a condemning public agency, has had to pay
this additional cost.
2. The rental market has been equally strong with vacancy
rates in the range of one to two percent; landlords have
been able to increase their rents and be very selective
about tenants. Because, quite frankly, several of the
tenants with whom we were dealing had less than
perfect rental records and financial' situations, it was
� ery difficult and often very expensive to place these
tenants in apartments or homes. This has now been
accomplished but at a significantly higher cost than
anticipated and often under the suspices of "last-resort
housing." A total of 56 tenants have been relocated.
• Construction costs have increased sigaificaatly. The
construction market has been extremely robust over the past few
years. During this past ye�r, it has become exceedingly difficult to
accurately estimate the construction cost of buildings. This is a
reflection of the very busy construction environment when many
contractors, and especially subcontractors and suppliers, have their
choice of several projects and have therefore escalated their costs
significantly. Delays in delivery of materials and shortage of skilled
workers have been frustrating many building owners as they try to
anticipate costs and stay on schedule. The Saint Paul Public Schools
has experienced this volatile market on many projects, and on some
projects we have even failed to attract a bid because contractors are
so busy.
It should be noted that our current estimate of $7 million in excess costs is an
estimate at this point, and by mid-October, we should have the final bids for
the renovation of the building. (We have already let contracts for asbestos
abatement, window replacement, building demolition, house demolition and
site grading.) 4Ve are hopeful that the bids will not come in as high as
anticipated, but the best advice we are receiving from our consultants is to be
prepared for the worst.

CITY OF SAINT PAUL
2000 LEGISLATIVE BONDING PROPOSALS
Title: Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Headquarters and Laboratory
Departmend0ffice: Minnesota Department of Public SafetyBCA
StaffContact: Frank Ahrens/N'icholas V. O'Hara Phone:651-296-9484b51-642-0600
I. Explain this proposal
The BCA is not able to adequately perform its responsibilities in its current facility. It has
outgrown its current 78,000 square foot headquarters even though the building has undergone
multiple modifications since 1963. BCA programs and personnel are projected to require 227,000
square feet by the year 2009. This bonding request is for $62 million to construct a new BCA
facility on a 7-acre site in Saint Paul located at the corner of Maryland and Prosperity.
II. What are advantages of tt►is proposal
Not funding this project will severely curtail the ability of the BCA to service the law enforcement
community. Cunent turn-around time for forensic evidence is prolonged because of the cramped
conditions and the subsequent inabitity to hire more scientists. Without a new facility, response
time delays will result in slower criminal investigations, slowed prosecution, and delayed
resolution for victims.

Why does the BCA need a new facility?
The BCA u not abie to adequately perform iu responsib�7iries in iu currenc facility.
The BCA. bas oncgrown ics nsrrenL 78,000 squaze foot headquarcers even though che
buildirag �ias undergone multiple modificarions since 1963. BCA pm�rams and personnel
are pro}etted to require 227,000 square feec by the yeaz 2009.
What wzll happen if this projeet is not funded?
Not funding this pzoject will severely curcail rhe ability of che BC�4 co sesvice the law
enforcement community. Current rum-azound time for forensic evidence is grQlonged
because o# cramped condirions and che subsequens inabiliry to hire more scientists,
Wichouc a new facility, response time delays will zesulc in slowu auninal invescigations,
slawed prosecuuons, and delayed resolution for victims.
Has the BCA considered expansion at its current location?
The pre-design addressed this issue and deceinained that escpansion on the cvrrent site is
not ecouomically feasibie ar operaxionally pracrical.
What is the status of the project?
The pre-deu� was compleced in Juty of 1997. The Laws of 199$, Chapcer 404, Secrion
13, Subdivssion 11, grovided 53,815,000 co design and acquire a sice in Sc. Pau1. The
design documents were completed in June 1999. A 7-acre site has been selecced on the
comez of Mazytand and Prosperiry in Sc. Paul. Ciry, HRA and five of six residenrial
properries have been purchased. Real Estate Management is in negoriauons wirh rhe sixth
residence.
:� . � �
The Laws of 1999, Chapter 216, Arade i, Section 19, appropriated 53,554,000 to complete
design documencs and site prepararion for rhis new facilicy. The projea uchiteets aze
currenrly working with The Leonard Pazker Associates on che design development which

is estunaced to be completed in mid-Oaober,1999. Co�smuaon documen.0 w�ll be
complered byJune of 2000.
Why is the square footage cost of this facility so high2
A major poraon of this faciticy is a forensic scieace laboratory. Laborawries cost more to
build than office space. . A compazison of other crime laboratories built arouad the
councry sance 1994 have averaged about �219/square foot. 'fhe Biomedical bu�7ding at
rhe U of M wi71 cost about 5272lsquare foo�. The currenc consuucaon cost is esrimated
co be 554,000,000 = 227,000 square feet = 5238/square foot.
Have we considered co-location with other agencies or laboratories?
The issue of sharing lab space vrith other agencies hu been discussed numerous times
starang several years ago when the Health Deparrment was considering a new bulding.
Each time che conclvsion has been thac the benefits of cosc effiaency would be
outweighed by the risk of evidence being compromised. The pre-design document covers
rlus subjea in more detail.
What will happen if the project is not funded at the level requested?
' The projea would be delayed due co rhe need to redesign aud Iess funding wouki prevent
`. � the BCA from buiiding a fac.ilitywith any grownc �apaary.

CITY OF SAINT PAUL
2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: Ramsey County Law Enforcement Center
DepartmentlOffice: Ramsey County
Staff Contact: Nick Riley Phone: 651-266-8632
L Explain this proposal
$15 million is requested in state bonds to assist with financing the new Ramsey County Law
Enforcement Campus. The project will address Ramsey County's substantial jail overcrowding
crisis and make significant contributions to riverfront economic development initiative. The LEC
will replace the existing river bluffAdult Detention Center and the Jail Annex located at the Saint
Paul Police Headquarters. This wiil enable private development of the existing Adult Detention
Center for a non-criminal justice use consistent with the initiatives to redevelop the riverfront in
Saint Paui.
The cost of the LEC pro}ect is estimated to be at least $51 million. Ramsey County would be
matching the state bond dollars by more than two to one. The $51 million estimate is a County
staff estimate for a facility that provides significant improvements to the criminal justice system;
however, detailed discussions about co-locating additional agencies, such as offices for Public
Defenders and court staffare continuing, and could increase the size ofthe project.
II. Whnt are advantages of this proposal
The new Law Enforcement Campus would gteatly reduce the jail overcrowding that has become a
significant problem for law enforcement. The development would also free up the Adult
Detention Center for private use adding to the tax rolls.
III. Identify known support
Ramsey County, City of Saint Paul
N. Identify known opposition to this proposll

CITY OF SAINT PAUL
2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: Housing
Lead Agency: Various
L Eaplain this proposal
Quality housing is a major component of healthy vibrant neighborhoods. Saint Paul supports
initiatives which provide increased funding for housing and housing rehabilitation and which make
housing programs and dollars more fle�ble and•accessible. The 1999 session proved successful in
an additional $45 million appropriated for housing in the state of Minnesota. As a consequence,
no new, major housing initiatives are planned for the 2000 session while the new state dollazs are
being spent. However, Saint Paul supports two important initiatives for the 2000 legislative
session.
Elimination of the 6.5% sates tax on materials, supplies and furnishings on affordable
housing.
Continuation of the Livable Communities Act.
II, What are advantages of this proposal
Eliminating the sales t� on affordable housing reduces the cost of construction by an estimated
3% thereby making it less expensive to provide housing.
Continuation of the Livable Communities Act enacted in 1995 wiil provide stimulation for
housing, economic and community development in the metropolitan area. This act permits cities
to access about $I 1 million in funding for pollution clean-up, housing and redevelopment.

2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: State-wide Criminal Database
Department/Office: Mayor's Office
StaffContact: Mike Campbell Phone: 651-266-8537
I. Explain this proposal
The existing Criminal History Records Database maintained by the Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension is de&cient. A 1998 study by the Minnesota Planning Agency identi&ed the
following problems:
• Many jurisdictions do not paRicipate in the database system, thus preventing information
from flowing across county and municipal boundaries;
• It takes an average of 51 to 75 days for data to be entered;
• On1y 51% of all final court dispositions aze entered into the system;
• 37% of all criminal cases are held in a non-accessible "suspense file" due to data errors.
Saint Paul recommends creating a state-wide criminal database system that is updated in a timely
fashion, requires universal participation, and is accessible to law enforcement agencies at the local
level. In addition, increased communication between local jurisdictions is of utmost importance.
Mechanisms should be created that will allow for ]ocai jurisdictions to gather criminal background
infoanation across jurisdictions to provide law enforcement with the information necessary to
adequately prosecute criminals.
Saint Paui supports all legislation and efforts, such as the state-funded pilot project taking place in
Hennepin County, that would facilitate the gathering and use of criminai background information
to assist law enforcement in the prosecution of criminal suspects.
II. What are advantages of this proposal
Because of the problems with the current database system, prosecutors and police suffer the
disadvantage of inadequate information necessary to successfully prosecute criminals. The
inabiiity of police agencies to easily obtain arrest and conviction data is the greatest deterrent to
proper prosecution of criminais. Creating a state-wide database that provides law enforcement
updated criminal histories would be an important and potent tool in the battle against crime and
violence.

SAINT PAUL CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS CALL FOR IMMEDIATE
IMPROVEMENTS TO STATE CRIMIi�AL HISTORY RECORDS DATABASE
Saint Paul City Council Members Mike Harris and Jerry Blakey today called on Governor Jesse Ventura to take
immediate steps to improve the State's criminal history records database. In a letter to the governor, the rivo said
that a lack of timely, accurate and complete information is preve�ting local governments from effectively combatine
gun violence and other violent crimes.
During a City Council discussion on gun violence last month, Harris and Blakey leamed that the Criminal Histor�
Records Database system, which is maintained and operated by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, is deficient.
A 1998 study by the Minnesota Planning Agency identified the following problems:
� many jurisdictions do not participate in the da*.•.'�z .. system, thus preventin� information from
flowing across county and municipal boundaries;
• it takes an avera�e of 51 to 75 days for data to be entered;
• only 51 % of all final court dispositions are entered into the system; and
• 37% of all criminal cases aze held in a non-accessible "suspense file" due to data errors.
Law enforcement officials and prosecutors told the City Council last month that a lack of criminal history
information can (ead to suspects being insufficiently charged and, in some cases, insufficiently sentenced. Man}
state and federal weapons laws allow for enhanced chazges and sanctions against crimina]s who have prior criminal
records.
A study done by the Saint Paul Ciry Attomey's office found '�at neazly half of all suspect; atrested for weapons
charges during 1996-97 were charged with lesser crimes than were possible or were not chazged at all. Errors in
many of these cases were attributed to a lack of information about sLSpects' criminal records from other Minnesota
counties.
"In this `information age' it is unacceptable to maintain a database system that does not give local governments all
of the information they need to fisht violent crime," said Harris. "IYs possible for someone in Saint Paul to get on
the Intemei and find out whether a library book is overdue in Minneapolis. But in many cases our police and
prosecutors cannot readily find oui if someone has committed a violent crime in Minneapolis."
"Our police tell us that they ofren know who aze committing these crimes and that theyjust need the information to
put them away," said Blakey. "Many of the same criminals are perpetratins gun violence in our community over
and oti�er again. At the local level, we need support from the state to protect our residents from the detrimental
effects of gun violence."

Dear Govemor Ventura,
In September, the Saint Paul City Council heid an informationai policy session on gun violence and illegal gun
trafficking. Representatives from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fireanns (ATF), the Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension (BCA), the Saini Paul City Attomey's Office as well as Todd Jones, United States Attomey,
Susan Gaertner, Ramsey County Attorney and Bill Finney, the Saint Paul Chief of Police all described their
agencies' efforts at controlling gun violence through arrests, prosecution and gun tracing.
Each presenter identified the lack of information sharing beriveen agencies as a major impediment to their efforts
to fight gun violence. In Minnesota, law enforcement agencies have difficulty in effectively checking the criminal
background of suspects across jurisdictions within thirty-six hours of an arrest. As a result, many suspects �t ho
have prior convictions in other counties are not being sufficiently chazged.
A siudy conducted by the Saint Paul City Attorney's Office (CAO) of 276 weapons cases that they prosecuted in
1996-97 found that charging errors were made in nearly half of all cases (see Attachment A). Many suspects
who were arrested were charged with lesser crimes than were possible or were not chazged at a11. These esors
were attributed to two primary factors: (i) a lack of grosecutor knowledge of existing weapons laws and (2) a
lack of accessible information on suspects' criminal histories. Since 1997, the CAO has made extensive efforts
to educate prosecutors on weapons laws. However, a lack of criminal history information remains a problem.
A September 1998 study done by Minnesota Plannin; highlighted deficiencies in the BCA's Computerized
Criminai History Records database (see Attachment B). For instance, as of 1996, it took 51 days for arrest data
and 75 days for conviction data to be entered into ihe system. Furthermore, many counties and jurisdictions do
not currently provide arrest and conviction data to the system. In fact, only 51 % of all final court dispositions
were entered into the system. Most troubling is the fact that 37% of all criminal records are held in a"suspensz
file." This file contains records that are not entered into the database because conviction data cannot be linked to
arrest data.
At the same time, a quick review of the State of Wisconsin's cruninal court records database, the Circuit Court
Automation Prograzn (CCAP), shows that their criminal court records aze faz more accessible, timely and
complete than in Minnesota (see Attachment C). Case information is updated every hour. Seventy of
Wisconsin's sevenry-rivo counties participate in the system. Citizens, law enforcement and court personnel ha� e
access to CCAP at public terminals and over the Intemet.

We ask that the State of Minnesota and the BCA take immediate steps to improve upon the criminal histon
records database system. We feei that the following efforts should be made:
• invite or compei more jurisdictions to participate in the system,
• cut down the time in which data is entered into the system,
• streamline the processes and forms through which data is entered into the system in order to
improve timeliness and eliminate mix-ups that uitimately land cases in the "suspense file,"
• improve access to criminal history information, possibly through the Intemet, and
• gamer legislative support and funding to provide a first-class criminal records system.
We understand that there are no easy fixes to gun violence. However, it is pazamount that we as elected leadzrs
give law enforcement all of the tools necessary to fight violent crime. Timely and accurate data is a very
important tool in this "information age." Please help 3aint Paul and other local govemments by giving our
�•`�i ��rs and prosecutors timely, accurate and complete information on the criminal histories of those people �cho
are arrested for violent crimes in our communities.
T'his is a problem that can be fixed — with sufficient commitment and resources — through existing technoloe} .
Please take the lead in creating a first-class criminal records database system in Minnesota. We look forward to
working with you on this important issue. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
�'� ` !

%y points from the report titled "Analysis of Gun and FYeapons Cases
Prosecuted by the Saint Pau! City Attorney, I996-1991" by Thomas J. Weyandt
The study includes a detailed analysis of 276 cases involving guns or weapons that were
prosecuted by the Saint Paul Ciry Attorney's Office in 1996 and 1497
The study revealed that 113 (41°l0) of the 27b suspects in these cases had prior crimes
against persons arrests or convictions.
Three basic types of weapons cases are included in this investigation:
"Use cases" - where weapons aze used in an illegal manner,
2 „ Status cases" - where weapons aze possessed by persons who aze prohibited
from having them, and
3. "Possession cases" - where weapons aze found in areas where they aze not
allowed.
Analysis showed that errors were made in 133 (49%) of the 276 cases studied:
Misdemeanor charges were filed in instances where gross misdemeanor or felony
charges were possible - 42 cases.
No felony review was done prior to review by the City Attorney's Office in cases
where the facts presented possible felony chazges - 30 cases.
Police personnel at the time of the arrest failed to document sufficient facts to
consider proper chazges - 19 cases.
Prosecutors or judges made errors in appiying the facts to the 1aw, resultino in
Iesser charges being filed or cases being dismissed -15 cases.
Criminal history and `status' information were not properly investigated prior to
charging the case - I S cases.
Subsequent chazges against a convicted individual were not used to either file a
probation revocation or void a stay of imposition of sentence in the case involved
in the study - 9 cases.
Location of the violation was not properly noted in the police report preventing
enhancement of chazges to either gross misdemeanor or felony level - 5 cases.
pO-�ta
Federal and state laws contain prohibitions preventing the possession of fireanns based on
16 separate types of "status" for the suspect. For example, persons who have been
convicted of crimes of violence, persons confined for mental illness or chemical
dependency, persons who aze fugitives and illegal aliens aze prohibited from possessing
guns and weapons. Analysis showed that 90 (69%) of the 133 errors found involved a
suspect's "status."
In 19 cases it was obvious that felony chazges should have been considered but were not,
either because the police or screening attomey was not aware of the possible felony
charges.
No chazges were filed in 31 cases and 25 cases were dismissed once charges were filed by
the CAO. Of those 56 cases, enors were identified in 37 of them. At least nine of the
cases were potential felonies.
Errors were made in 45/84 (53%) of bail evaluations.

RE: Criminal Justice Information Integrarion
Dear Duane:
Thank you for taking the time to talk with Commissioner Fisher, Wendy Dwyer and me last
week. The purpose of this letter is to give you an update on our efforts to integrate crimmaI
jusrice information across the state.
We aze active in at least four areas; statewide systems, criminal jusiice information integrafion,
CTCC/Hennepin County, and altemative methods/technologies. It is our goal to define the
working relationships between interested parties, audit existing plans, coordinate and integrate
ongoing efforts, and to seek faster and cheaper solurions in each of these azeas.
Statewide Svstems
7rafre safery Th� Deparhnent of Administration, under the leadership of Commissioner Fisher, is
coordinating a variety of statewide efforts including Connecting Minnesota,
telecommunicarions regulatory reform, higher educarion connection efforts, electronic
governntent services and criminal}ustice informafion integra6on. Each of these efforts overlaps
into the others, all of which are very dependent on Connecting Minnesota. Each of these efforts
also has an"execufive sponsor." For example, the Department of Commerce is playing a lead
role in telecommunications regulatory reform.
My department's relarionship to these statewide projects is as follows:
Paul Aasen, DPS Assistant Commissaoner, is a member of the TT mini-cabinet. The
mini-cabinet has been chazged with providing leadership and coordinarion of all the
statewide efforts.
Paul is also the ]ead point of contact for criminal jusfice informarion integration. It is
important to note that Paul's role 3n this azea does not preclude involvement by the
Department ofAdministration. Paul's job is to represent the Ventura Administration's
posirion on the need (the "why"j and on the desired outcome (the "whaY').
Commissioner Fisher and his staff are directly involved with the mefhod of
implementation (the "how'�. I believe CommissionerFisher is going to assign a staff
person to work directiy with paul. This duo will be able to manage the why, what and
how of the projecf.

7anet Cain, DPS CIO, is direcfly involved with electronic govemment services,
particulazly as it relates fo our driver and vehicIe services azea.
We will be assigning a staff person to participate in the Connecting Minnesota effork
T1tis effort will provide a consistent infrastruchue for networking. We aze obviously
interested in ensuring our Greater Minnesota communicafion and service locarions are
connected.
Criminal Justice Information InteQSarion / Criminal Justice Data Network
As mentioned above, the Department of Public Safefy, and Paul Aasen in particulaz, is
the lead for the execurive branch on criminal jusrice infom�ation integration. Paul is
currenfly worldng with the Department of Administration to define how the business
practices desired by public safety can be coordinated with the Department of
Adminish computer system criteria, to coordinate an audit of existing plans
(largely CJCGHennepin County) by the SEARCH group, and to research other
successfiil integration efforts.
A part of information integrarion is the upgrade to the piece of the system we maintain
at the BCA, the Criminal Justice Data Network. Paul is worldng with other DPS staff at
the BCA and in the Office of Technical Support Services to review the existing plans
and to coordinate with the other inYerested parties at the state, Correcrions, Courts, and
Administration.
CSCC / Aennepin Cotmty
We are attempting to detezmine the answer to two questions related to the C3CC's
efforts. First, is the CJCC proposal the best method and will it be a model for other
counties and cities; and, second, what is the real cost of implementing the first yeat of
the proposal.
As mentioned above, Paul Aasen is coordinating an audit of the CJCC proposal by the
SEARCH group. This audit will add to the information provided by the audits currently
being coordinated through yout efforts with the Mumesota Business Partnership.
Two parties aze working on a cost esfimate. Hennepin county staff has been asked by
the county boazd to provide a detailed cost estimate by Thanksgiving. The State's Data
Group is also working on an estimate, but it wi11 not be available unril Febniary. We
]ook fonvazd to teviewing Hennepin County's estimate in the next few weeks.
Altemative Methods / Technoioeies
The audits of the CJCC proposal and of our plans for our own criminal justice network
upgrade will heip us decide if our plans aze reasonable. In addidon, we aze discussing
proposals for test systems using other methods with outside parties. One of the most
promising efforts is the Ramsey County project. Ramsey County has already connected
their Sheriff's department with the state courts and criminal justice data networks. We
need to deteTmine the applicability of their methods on a statewide basis.

CITY OF SAINT PAUL
2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: Metropolitan Couacil Regional Parks Capital Improvement Requests
DepartmendOffice: Metropolitan CounciUSaint Paul Parks
StaffContact: Ame Stefferud/7ott Wirka Phone: 651-602-1360/266-64ll
L Eapiain this proposal
The Metropolitan Council has prepared a 2000-2001 Capital Improvement Progam totaling
approximately $27 million, inciuding $3.724 million for Saint Paul specific projects. These
projects include:
l�fississippi River Trail
01d Shepard Road Segment
IST'EA Match $1,000,000
Como Park Conservatory
Fern House Restoration $2,294,000
Como Park Central Service Facility
Office(Storage Addition
City Match $ 430,000
II. What are advantages of this proposal
The Mississippi River Traii component matches an authorized $Z million federal ISTEA grant,
and will aliow 1.8 miles of trail and shoreline improvements.
The Como Park Fern House is worn out and in desperate need of replacement. The estimated
number of visits to Como Park in 1998 was 2,418,600. The project is part of a special recreation
feature (Como Conservatory) in Como Regional Park, and replacing it will help keep Como Park
as one of the state's most visited attractions.
The Como Park Storage Faciliry also replaces a worn out structure. Como Park has a nagging
probiem of storage space, and replacing the eacisting facility wili provide much needed space for
maintenance.

CITY OF SAINT PAUL
2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: Ethanot Credits Estended to Include Saint Paul
DepartmentlOffice: Mayor's Office
StaffContact: NTike Campbell Phone: 651-266-8537
I. Explain this proposal
Legislation wiil be introduced by Representative Bob Ness, Chairman ofthe House Agriculture
Committee, in the upcoming session that will extend state-wide ethano] credits to include the City
of Saint Paul. These credits will be directed specifically to apply to Minnesota Brewing to allow
for the production of 15 million gallons of ethanol. Extending these credits will allow Minnesota
Brewing to leverage $600,000 in financing to complete its ethanol piant.
II. What are advantages of this proposal
Successful passage ofthis legislation will create in Saint Paul the first urban ethanol plant in the
country, and help to save approximately 150 good-paying union jobs in Saint Paul.
III. Identify kuown support
City of Albert Lea, Bingham Lake, Buffalo Lake, Luverne, Preston and Saint Paul, Minnesota
Corn Growers, the Farm Bureau, and the Farmers Union, organized labor
IV. Tdentify known opposition to this proposal
Various farm district state legislators, potentially Senate leadership

CITY OF SAINT PAUL
2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: Protection of Saint Paul tagpayers and City operatioas through the
Property Taa Study Project and discussions concerning property tax
reform, school funding and local govemment aids.
Department/Office: Various, including the PTSP, LMC and AMM
Staff Contact: Mike Campbell, Jeff Van Wychen Phone: 266-8537/612-379-2060
L Eaplain this proposal
The City of Saint Paul has worked through its membership in the Joint Property Ta�c Advisory
Committee and the Property Tax Study Project to limit the Snancial burden to all of our property
taxpayers. The principals of these groups are that taY and fiscal reform should ensure
accountability and clarity in the system; equity and ta�cpayer impact; revenue adequacy; focused
state assistance; flexibiliry to redesign services and improve effectiveness. Given these criteria,
any additional ta�c rate changes should be reviewed for their impacts on homeowners and on 5aint
Paul's ability to have dependab]e revenue sources for its fiscal future.
2000 legislative priorities for the PTSP will include positions on:
1. Increase the State Share of Special Education Funding
2. Increase State Funding for Family Preservation Aid
3. Enhance State Funding for Local Government Aid
4. Restore the Local Government Sales Tax Exemption
II What are advantages of this proposal
The City of Saint Paul has an exceilent record of fiscal responsibility, keeping the City portion of
the property tax levy at,0% for the last five years. In order to continue to deliver quality services,
the must have a predictable revenue base which protects Saint Paul homeowners from sudden tax
increases and a(so allows the City to provide sound fiscal planning in the future. Through the
JPTAC and the PTSP, Saint Paul is involved in unique collaborative efforts with a focus on
benefitting taxpayers through change in the systems for funding and delivering local government
services. Historically, cities, counties and school districts have not worked together on issues of
this nature. The jurisdictions invalved in this project betieve that this collaborative effoR has the
potential for developing creative, joint solutions to common problems. Approval of the Project's
initiatives are a good step toward future collaborations and joint-efforts.
II Identify known support
Joint Property Tax Advisory Committee members, Joint Property T� Group members,
League ofMinnesota Cities, Association of Metropoiitan Municipalities

Priorities of the Property Tax
fior the 2000 Legislative
Study Project
Session
The property tax is the most antiquated of the major tax bases used to fund pubiic services in
Minnesota. increasingly, the levei of residential property taxes has little to do with the income
of the taxpayer or the level of public services consumed by the taxpayer. Unlike sales and
income taxes, the levei of property taxation frequently increases without an increase in the
taxpayers ability to pay. Furthermore, over time the property tax is the slowest growing of the
major Minnesota tax bases.
A tax system in which some 4evels of government are overly dependent upon an antiquated,
un4air, and slow growing tax base is a tax system that is out of balance. in o�de� to remedy
this situation, the Praperty Tax Study Project is committed to legislative initiatives that will:
• Diversify local government revenue sources in order to reduce dependence on the
propercy tax
• Ensure that programs that are mandated hy the state or federal govemments are funded
by the state or federai governme�ts.
In order to advance these objectives, the PropeRy Tax Study Project is proposing that the
Minnesota legislature consider enacting the foilowing initiatives during the 2000 legislative

Increase the State Share of Special Education Funding
P�oposal• lncrease the percentaqe of special education exoenses that is funded 6V the
state.
Rationale
School district spending for speciai education services is driven by factors beyond the control
of school districts, inciuding court, state, and federai mandates.
A report recently completed by the Department of Children, Famiiies, and Learning reveais the
extent to which school districts use general education revenues to augment state resources
dedicated to finance the provision of special education services. According to this report, the
cross-subsidization of special education from general education resources was 5288 mil{ion in
FY 1998. �

Education Expenditure: 5792 Million

�p,y0
Based on the CFl report, the adjusted net cross-subsidy of speciai education from general
education revenues comprised over one-third of ail specia4 education expenditures statewide
in FY 1998. A t997 report by the Legisfative Auditor's Office found that schooi district
spending o� special education grew at twice the rate of generai education spending behveen
1988 and 1995.
Every schooi district in the state finances a general education program in direct competition
with special education services. However, the competition for resources is tiVted in favor of
speciai education because the likelifiood of being held legalfy accauntable for Yhe provision of
speciai education services is much highes.
Federai and state law creates the obiigation on the part of Iocal school districts to provide a
"free and appropriate pubiic education" (FAPE) to all enroiled students with physical,
emotional, or mental disabilities. The level or service is established by an Individuai Education
Planning team with representation of all service/care providers for the student and the
studenYs family based on the student's need. Further, famiiies and advocacy organizations
always have recourse to the courts to obtain the {evei of service they feel is entitled u�der the
law.
During the last lwo decades we have seen four trends accelerate the growth in the cost of
special education services:
1.) School age disabled chiidren formerly cared for in an institutional setting (such as regional
treatment centers) have been deinstitutionalized and returned to pubiic schoois as a lower-
cost service provider. Pubiic education settings are the feast restrictive environmenttor
many disabled children.
2.) Advances in medicai technology have increased the number of inedically fragile students
who sucvive and can be cared for in educationai settings.
3.) Court, state, and federal mandates continuz to increase the level of service expected from
school districts. For example, a recent Supreme Court decision arising from a case in
lowa (Cedar Rapids V. Garret F.) determined that schooi districts are responsible for alI
medical services for medicaily fragile students up to but not inciuding resuscitation.
4.) An increase the incidence of high-cost disabilities such as autism, deaf and hard of
hearing, and multip{y diseb{ed children age birth to th�es has resulted in further inaeases
in the expense of providing special education seniices.
�b��D
Whiie courts and the state and federal govemments have increased the level of special
education services school districts are expected to provide, adequate new resources have not
been appropriated to finance the new sarvices. The result is a steady erosion of revenue
availabie for generai education.
Current law reimburses school districts for a portion of their speciai education expenditures.
the generaf education formula reimburses at the rate of 68 percent of instructional expenses
not inciuding benefits. Without benefits this formula reimburses roughly half of the totai
instructionai expenses until expenditures statewide exceed an appropriated cap, which in FY
1998 was less than half of the total documented amount of special education expenditures. At
this point state reim6ursements are prorated to each disUict on a propoRional basis.
The 1999 Legislature did move to increase the state commitment to speciai education funding
by increasing the cap on statewide appropriations through FY 2001 and enriching the speciai
education excess cost formula to pick up a greate� share of the costs not covered by the basic
specia( education formula.
What the Proposa/ Will Accomo/ish
State assumpt+on of a greater share of financiai responsibility for special education will free up
generai education resources to ensure that the educationa( reforms currently on the books will
successfully bring all students to basic skills proficiency and progress towards high standards.
Pubiic education is at a crossroad. We are entering a period where khe majority of schoot
districts wiil experience decfining enrollments; consequently, revenue associated with
enrofiment wiii also decfine. This will put additionaf sttain on genera{ education resouroes.
This strain can be reduced by reducing the cross-subsidization of special education services
from general education resources.
State education reforms have changed how we measure success in education and demand a
higher levei of productivity from schoois. The pubiic expects afl students to graduate with the
basic skilis of reading and math. The pubiic aiso expects aii students to make progress
towards higher order skiils described in the graduation standards. The likelihood of attaining
these goals is increased if general education resources do not have to be diverted to fund
other services.
Increasing the state share of speciai education finance wili help to ensure that the state is
paying for a larger percentage of mandated programs. Until the state and federal govemment
give states the tools to provide special education services in a"managed care" model that
permits school districts to impose some measure of cost control, the state should assume the
lion's share of the responsibility for financing these services.
Because the funding of speciai education has diverted resources away from general
education, many districts have had to pass referenda in order to adequately fund generai
education. Reducing the cross-subsidization of special education from generai education
revenues will reduce the need for referendum levies, thereby helping to hold down property
taxes.
Increase State Funding for Family Preservation Aid
Do-�o
Rationale
Family Preservation Aid was created in order to reduce county property tax burdens
attributabie to child weifare and out-of-home placement expenses by increasing the state
funding for these services. in 2000, 521.7 miliion in Family Preservation Aid will be distributed
to the 87 Minnesota counties.
Chiid servSce and out-of-home piacement expenses are among the most rapidly growing
areas of public expenditures. Nationwide and witfiin Minnesota, there has been a rapid
increase in:
• The number of children involved in investigatio�s of abusa and neglect
• The number of children with substantiated reports of maitreatment
• The number of children removed from homes
These increases have far outpaced the rate of growth in total popuiation.
In addition io an increase in the number of cases of child abuse, negiect, and maltreatment,
there has also been an increase in the severity of these cases. According to an Urban
institute report, chiid we}fare workers in Mi�nesota note that the ievei of neglect seen today is
more severe than in the past. More severe cases of neglect cail for more drastic and
expensive interventions.
A 1999 repo[t from the legisiative Auditor notes that statewide piacement spending Qer
Minnesota resident under age 18 in real (i.e., inFlation adjusted) doilars increased by 22
percent from 1992 and 1997. Comparable nationwide data is not availabie; however, these
trends in Minnesota seem to roughiy coincide with nationai trends. According to the report
from the Legislative Auditor, most human service directors in Minnesota expect piacement
spending to continue to increase faster than the rate of inflation in coming years.
Whife Minnesota appears to be fairly typicai among states in terms of ths growth in child
wetfare caseloads and out-oi-home placement costs, Minnesota is somewhat unique in terms
of how tfiese expenses are funded. According to the report from the Legfslative Auditor,
Minnesota relies more heavily on local revenues—especia(ly properry tax revenues—to pay
for social services, inciuding child piaceme�t costs.

Op_�n
The above cha�t does not take into account the increase in Family Preservation Aid enacted
fo� 2000. The Property Tax Study Project estimates that this increase would be sufficient to
reduce the county share of out-of-home piacement funding by approximately 8 percent (from
59 percent to 51 percent). According to the Legislative Auditors report, Minnesofa is one of
only seven stafes in which local revenues provide mo�e fhan 20 percenf of child welfare
funding. The Legislative Auditor also notes that the primary souroe of county revenues used
to fund ouf-of-home placemenfs is the p�operfy tax.
Minnesota's heavy dependence on the property tax to fund out-of-home piacement has
several implications:
• The totai property tax burden in the state is increased. As noted above, the property tax is
the most antiquated and slowest growing of the major taxes and the one that is the Ieast
related to taxpayer's ability to pay.
• Due to the di�culty involved in generating increased revenue from the property tax, there
is a serious potentiai that child welfare and out-of-home piacement expenses will be
under-funded. According to the Legislative Auditor's report, about haif huma� service
directors in the state feel that "budget considerations have limited their abiiity to provide
the care and services that children need."
• The reports from both the Legislative Auditor and the Urban institute note significant
variatio�s in the level of funding for chiid services among Minnesota counties that can be
attributed to differences in propeRy tax wealth.
What the ProAOSaI Will Accomolish
Significant increases in Famiiy Preservation Aid will help to reduce the least popular and most
unfair of the major Minnesota taxes: the property tax. In addition, increases in Family
Preservation Aid will heip to ensure adequate funding for criticai child weifare services and
help to reduce the disparity in funding among Minnesota counties that exists due to disparities
in property wealth.
Enhance State Funding for Local Government Aid (LGA)
rg owfh•
Rationale
Cities provide a variety of necessary public services. However, cities differ in terms of thei�
ability to gene�ate revenue. In addition, due to differences in demographic characteristics
(e.g., more crime, older housing stock, etc.), cities also differ i� terms of their expenditure
need. The purpose of LGA is to help equalize tax burden disparities among communities that
exist due to difEerences in expend+ture need and reve�ue raising capacity.
In addition, LGA exists in order to ensure that cities are not exclusively dependent upon the
propesty tax. The property tax is the most antiquated of the major Minnesota taxes and the
one that is least related to a taxpayer's abillty to pay. !n addition, the QropeRy tax is the
s{owest growing of the major Minrtesota taxes. lGA provides a way of sharing growth in state
sales and income tax revenues with cities, thereby diversifying the revenue base of cities and
providing greater balance in the mix of revenues uQon which city governments depend.
0
LGA funding in reat dollacs per capita peaked in 1989, 6ut has declined sharply since then.
For the year 2000, city LGA in real dottats per capita is less then at any time since 1976.

Do _�O
While LGA in reai doilars per capita has declined since 1976, statewide personai income has
grown by approximately 47 percent. Clearly, funding for city LGA has failed to keep pace with
growth in personal income and with growth in the state's economy generally.
When state funding for LGA decreases, property taxes increase. The foliowing graph shows
the change in total statewide city revenue base (i.e., sum of levy and state aids), levy, and
aids from 1990 to 1999.

Cities
During the period from 1990 to 1999, statewide city levies in real dollars per capita grew by
10.4 percent. However, this growth in levi2s cannof be attributed to a growth in spending,
since during the same period the totai sta;ewide ciry revenue base deciined by 1.6 percent.
Rather, the increase in levies is due to a dacline in state aids to cities. Totai state aids to
cities, including LGA, has declined signincontly since 1990; LGA—the singie largest city aid
program—has declined by just over 21 percent in real doilars per capita. 7hus, growth in city
levies can be attributed to the decline in city aids.

oo-�o
What the Pr000sal �!! Accomnlish
Linking growth in city LGA to growth in state tax revenues would allow ciry expenditures to
keep pace with inflation and population growth without increases in ciry Ievies. The proposal
put forth here will resuit in a true revenue sharing program between the state and city
govemments that wiil heip to hoid city property tax burdens constant or even reduce ihem
over time.
Restore the Local Government Sales Tax Exemption
Rationale
When one level of govemment taxes another, the resuit is usually a loss of accountability.
Ultimately, taxpayers pay all tax burdens. When the state governme�t imposes a sales tax on
local governments, local governments in turn pass the tax burden on to focai taxpayers,
frequentiy in the form of higher property taxes. The portion of tfie local tax burden attributable
to the state saies fax on loca4 governments appears to taxpayers to be a local tax, when in
fact the revenue being generated goes to state government, not to local government. In this
way the state saies tax on local governments increases the complexity of the tax system and
reduces accountability.
The local government exemption from the state sales tax was repeaied in 1992 as a way of
generating more revenue for the state, which was then experiencing a significant budget
shorCfaif. Given that the reason for imposing the saies tax an {ocai governments (i.e., the
revenue shocttali) has iong since disappeared, there is no good reason for maintaining this
sales tax. To continue to tax local governments in order to inflate the state surplus is bad
pubiic policy.
The state currently controls the two most rapidly growing taxes: income and sales.
Meanwhile, local governments are heavily dependent on property tax revenues, which
historically have not grown as rapidfy as income and sales tax revenues. Given that the state
has abundant resources, it makes little sense for the state to impose a tax on local
governments.
What the Pr000sal Wi!l AccomplisA
Restoring the locai government saies tax exemption will restore a degree of accountability to
the tax system and, in many instances, reduce the property tax, which is the most antiquated
of the major taxes and the one that is least related to taxpayers' ability to pay.

2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: Motion Imaging Recording System/Traffic Law Compliance
DepartmentJOffice: Mayor's Office
StaffContact: Mike Campbell Phone: 651-266-8537
I. Explain this proposal
In order to promote greater public and vehiculaz safety, legislation wili be introduced in the
upcoming session that requests legislative action authorizing utilization of motion imaging
recording system technology for govemmental units, including cities, on streets and highways to
assist promotion of safety and traffic law comptiance enforcement. One recent study at the
intersection of Saint Anthony and Snellin� in Saint Paul indicated an avera?e of 180 red-light
violations per hour in the south-bound lane alone. It is expected that the use of M.I.R.S. will
greatly reduce the number of traffic violations, and increase public safety.
II. Wh�t are �dvantnges of this proposll
The use of M.I.R.S. will provide enforcement assistance to Saint Paul's, and other municipalities'
overburdened traffic compliance officers. The proven technology of this tool will accurately
identify and ticket traffic violators, thereby reducin� the number of violations increasing public
safety.
III. Identify known support

PART I. INTRODUCTION
� T1vs report documents the study and testin� of a technology designed to detect
and record violations of certain traffic con�ol devices in Minnesota. The system utilizes
one of severat detection methods to determine the occunence of a specific velucle
� violation, and then activates a camern to photo�aph the vehicle. The usual nomenclature
for this type of technology is photo radar or photo enforcement. However, as this study
did not contain any aspect of active enforcement, a less threatening appeilation was
� adopted. The system was called the Motion Ima�ing Recording System (MIRS).
T'his type of technology is used in over 30 other countries. It was first used in the
� United States for enforcement purposes in 1987, in the city of Paradise V alley, Arizona
Since then iu usage has been rapidly expanding to other U.S. cities including, but not
limited to, New York City, New York; Los Angeles, Sacramento, Pasadena, and San
� Francisco, California; Jackson, Michigan; Portland and Beaverton, Oregon; Fort Collins
and Commerce City, Colorado; Fairfax City, Virginia; and Fort Meade, Florida.
� This report was adopted by the MIRS Steering Conunittee on January 12, 1998.

St. Paul
It was decided that the first installation would be located at the intersection of
Snellin� Ave_ and St. Anthony Ave, in St. Paul, monitorin� violations on southbound
Snellin� Ave.(see appendix A). This site is very ambitious in that there are fout lanes of
southbound uaffic as we1l as a protected ri?ht turn lane. St Anthony Ave_ is the noRh
ftonta�e road above I-94 and is a one way street, westbound. Concordia Ave. is the south
fronta�e road above the interstate and is a one way street eastbound. This intersection is
a major entrance point to the interstate and accomodates over 17,000 southbound
vehicles each day.
As southbound traffic on Snellin� Ave. passes over I-94, lane 4(closest to the
center median) is a left turn oaly onto Concordia Ave., lane 3 is a shared left turn or thru
lane, lane 2 is a thru lane and 1ane i is a thru lane which merges with lane 2 south of
Concordia Ave. A large percentage of the southbound traffic tums left and enters I-94.
The installation on Sneiling Ave. was operational for parts of five months, from
late 2�3ovember 1996 throu�h the end of April 1997. No testing was conducted from
� December 3, 1996 through February 6, 1997 due to the malfunctioning of the equipment
(see Part V, Efficiency of Equipment).
�
�
Over the five months of operation, there were riventy-four deployments (sepazate
operations of the camera with new film) that ran from a single day duration to five days
duration. An attempt was made to spread the testing out over different parts of the
month and most importantly over different ciays of the week, to have a more concise
record of when violations were occurring. A breakdown of the deployments by day aze
as follows-
� Monday 11
Tuesday 8
� Wednesday 6

�
�
Dwin� the period the camera was operational at least some testing was conducted on 24
days that fell betr,veen the first and the fifteenth of the month, and 26 days that fell
between the sixteenth and the end of the month.
The camera ran for 712 hours and 52 minutes and detected 5,378 violations. This
is approximately 180 per day, or about 7.� per hour. Fi�ur2 6 is a baz �aph which
shows the number of �iolations for each hour of the day. The greatest number of
violations occurred beriveen 2:00 - 3:d0 PM. This is surprisin� because it is afrer the
lunch hour rush and before the afternoon rush hour. Speculation has been made ihat
because the testin� period was during the school year, perhaps this is the time that
nearby hiQh schools were lettina out for the day. Another speculation was that it mi�tt
be sales and delivery people runnin� tate and realizing that they have "X"' number of
stops yet to make before they can �o home.

2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: Voluntary State Registration/Licensing for Massage and Oriental
Bodywork Tl�erapists
DepartmendOffice: Saint Paul Licensing Inspection and Environmental Protection
StaffContact: BobKessler Phone:651-266-9112
I. Eaplain th'ss proposal
Currently, massage and oriental bodywork therapists are licensed by cities and municipalities.
Legislation wiil be proposed in the 20001egislative session that will give massage and oriental
bodywork therapists the option of voluntarily registering with the state of Minnesota or remaining
licensed under city and municipal jurisdictions. The statute also grandfathers in certain
requirements, but not limited to, such as 100 hours of supervised massage therapy instruction,
liability insurance, that therapists be 18 years or older, a willingness to abide by a code of ethics
established by the Board.
Those therapists who register with the state will be exempt from local ordinances.
II. What are advantages of this proposal
This proposed legislation would piace upon the state of Minnesota part of the requirement to
license and monitor therapists removing this part of this burden from the City of Saint Paul. It
would also provide the added benefii of creating a centralized repository of therapists, create rules
under which therapists must operate and codify criminal penalties.

2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Titie: Small Business Regulatory Relief
Department/Office: MCDA
Staff Contact: Eric Nathanson Phone: 612-673-5183
I Egplain this proposal
The Minnesota Business 5ubsidies Act provides the definition of a business subsidy, and places
significant reporting requirements on businesses that receive such subsidies. This policy proposal
changes part of the definition of a small business subsidy, and exempts certain business activities
from the Business Subsidies Act. Essentially the amendments address five issues in the Act:
1. Raises the threshotd that triggers requirements and reporting from $25,000 to $100,000.
2. Exempts small businesses as defined in MN Statute 645.445.
3. Exempts, with no repoRing requirements, subsidies for polluted sites and redevelopment.
4. Exempts heritage preservation activities.
5. Exempts tax exempt revenue bonds.
II What are advantages of this proposal
This bill will reduce the reporting requirements for small businesses and provide significant
regulatory relief. Such relief will assist small businesses that are struggling to stay in the inner city
and serve its residents.

Summary
Proposed Amendments to the 1449 Business Subsidies Law
Secrion 1. This section makes several changes to the existing exemptions and adds one.
Among the changes aze the folioWing:
• Ciause 1 is amended to increase the threshold to $ l QQ,000. The
amendment is proposed to reflect se�ezal state and local govemment
programs that pro�ide less than $100,000 and are not always intended to
create jobs. This change would exclude such projects as those funded by
DT£D's nuat redevelopment and micro-enterprise funds and other _
projects of similar scale.
♦ Clause 5 extends the exemption to include designated historic pceservation
districts.
♦ Clause 8 adds a reference to the tax increment financizag hazardous
substance subdisnict. The intent of this change is to clazify that the
existing ]anguage specifically includes this TIF subd'zstrict as a po)lution
control or abatement activity.
♦ Clause 14 is modified to clarify that bonds (ssued on behalf of a non-profit
organization aze exempt. Current law exempts only those bonds which are
subject to the state's bond volume cap for private activity bonds issued by
a focal or state government on behaif of a private entity. 7his change
wouid extend the exemption to similar bonds not subject to the volume
cap.
♦ Clause 19 is a new exemption. A smalJ business is defined in state law.
The reference to the Minnesota 1aw is included in section 2.
Section 2. This change provides a statutory reference to the Minnesota statutory
definition of small business. A small business is defined fo be a for-profit entaty that has
no moze than twenty £uil-time employees or, in the pcecedin� yeaz fiscal yeaz, had no
more than $1 million ($2.5 million £oz technical or pro£essional services) in annual gross
revenues. The small business must not be affiliated with or a subsadiary of a business
thatexceedsthese thresholds.
��—�0
Section 3. This sectioz� includes a change to clarify that increasing the tax base is a
legitimate public purpose. Current law is open io the interpretation that increasing the tax
base is not a permissibie public ptupose.
This section also includes a change that zeplaces the word "imminenY' �vith the word
"specific."
Section 4. The change in Clause 6 would allow a recipient of a business subsidy to move
locations within the five-yeaz commitment period but only with grantor approvai. The
change in Ciause 8b allows a grantor to structure a�-ant as a forgivable loan and
pro��ides consistency with the language in the following sentence.
12l02/1999 23:58 6514876991 BONNIE B�,LACH PAGE 03
00 -��
Section 5. This change will tequiie tha grantoz to determine whether a Qroject is
desigied to create jobs, and therefore, if the subsidy agreement will include job and wage
goals. The public wouid have an opportunity to comment on this determination at the
required pubiic hear9ng. Curzent law requires the grantor to include job and wage goals in
subsidy agreements foz projects that are not intended to create jobs, but rather, have a
variery of other legitimate goals, such es reducing crime, improving ihe workplace,
providing equipment, or redeveloping property.
This section also includes a change (identical to that in Section 3) that replaces the word
"iznminenf' with the word `specific."
Section 6. In many instances the final subsidy agreement is not complete at the time of
the public hearing and therefore may not be available at that time. This change would
clazify that making a summary of the subsidy agreement available is sufficient for the
purpose of the public hearing. The summary would inc]ude the proposed business points
or terms of the agreement,
This section aiso inciudes a change that would allow a combined public hearing where
there aze multiple grantors. The hearing would be held 'an the local }uzisdiction.
Section 7. This change has the effect o£ exempting from any reporting requirements the
tyQes of financial assistance that are excluded from definition of "business subsidy."
Instead, zedevelopment reporking is required in cases where the subsidy agreement
includes the creation or retenrion of jobs as a goal.
Section S. This change is intended to be a technical clazification on1y.
Section 9. This change eliminates the reference to "monthly or quarteriy" time
eategories with regazd to DTED's summary and compilation report.

CITY OF SAINT PAUL
2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS
Title: Telecommunications Revisions
DepartmenUOffice: Mayor's OfficelSaint Pau] TNIS
StaffContact: NfikeCampbelUHollyHansenPhone:651-266-8537l266-8875
I. Explain this proposal
Minnesota's cities have regulated cable franchises for twenty years. Cities have had the authority
to negotiate and oversee nonexclusive cable franchises to suit each community. During the Z000
legislative session, the Minnesota Legislature plans to consider a number of proposals which
would change the way cable franchises are regulated in the state. Some of these proposals would
eliminate the city's role in cable regulation and administration; franchise fees now paid to cities
would be pooled in a state-wide fund.
The City of Saint Paul will oppose any legislation that would remove its ability to regulate cable at
the local level. Specifically, 5aint Paul will oppose any efforts to take its franchise rights and fees
that derive from its franchising rights.
Currentiy, the City of Saint Paul receive approximately $1.3 miilion franchise fees, hatf of which
are retumed to the general fund. Additional grants of approximately $630,000 required by the
franchise are aiso used to finance Saint Paul Neighborhood Network (SPNI� which provides
Public and Educationa] access and playback for government Access, collectively referred to as
PEG (Public Educationai and Government) access.
Saint Paul will support only that legislation which maintains its franchise right and the ability to
coilect franchising fees, and allows the city to maintain its regulatory control.
II. What are advantages of this proposal
Losing franchising ri�hts wou(d remove local control that Saint Paul cucrently enjoys over cable
services. Saint Paul, through its regulatory ab'tlity with cable, has been able to tailor the deliver of
cable services to its citizens in a way that supports and protects the consumer. Saint Paul has also
been able to require cable operators to include PEG access as a requirement of of receiving the
franchise which is a clear benefit to residents. Maintaining current franchising rights wiil allow
Saint Paui to continue to collect franchise fees, and regutatory control wiil keep cable delivery
accountable and responsible to the people.

SAMPLE RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the City of has been granted the legal authority to
negotiate, award and regulate cabie television franchises under both federel
statute Title 6 and Minnesota State statute Chapter 238; and
WHEREAS, the City of accepted the respons+bility that comes with
the awarding of the cable te{evision franchise, inciuding ensuring that the
cabie company meets the identified"needs of the community such as
community television and institutionai networks and serving as a locai
resource to resolving customer service issues; and
WHEREAS, state legislation has been proposed that would repeal Chapter
238 and revoke the City's authority to award a cable television franchise,
e(iminate the City as a loca! resource to its citizens for resofving customer
service issues, and remove the City's ability to receive direct support for
community television and other provisions that meet community needs; and
WHEREAS, it has not been demonstrated by any means that local
governments' role in cable franchising impedes in any manner the ability of
cable and telecommunications companies to offer full and competitive
services; and
WHEREAS, while the City of acknowiedges the regulatory chailenge
of addressing the convergence of voice, video and data services, loca(
governments are essential to any legislative discourse +n this area and must
retain authority to ensure continued local support for its comm�nity;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOIVED that the City ofi must retain
its authority to franchise companies providing cable television services and is
hereby opposed to any legisiation that would revoke this authority and that it
further asserts its Constitutional rights to retain its local authority to enter
into contracts to serve its community.

v[aior Areas of Concern for Cities
L1�1C staff have identified the following key topics of importance to cities. Please review
these — and add to the list — as you review materials for the meeting.
Scape and exercise of Ioca1, franchise autkarity
This addresses the fundamental question if video programming should be included within the
ambit of the leaislation. (Currently it is.) There is a stron¢ly held municipal belief that issues
associated with cable pro�amming are best managed at the local level This also raises the
obvious concern about the future of focal cable franchise revenue.
Local authariry ro establish mur:icipol relecommunications anilities
The law says that a"person has authority to provide telecommunication services if ..." We
believe the intent of the fegislation is to include municipalities wiihin the definition of
person." However, given the controversy that mieht well arise concernins this issue, we
believe it would be wise to give municipalities the explicit authority to establish municipal
telecommunications utilities.

Q Q �O
Servicer ro be inciuded ir: universal service
The legislation describes several "services that should be considered for inclusion as
universal" Outstate smaller cities should be very concemed a6out what appeazs in the final list
because ii may well define for years to come how well cities are served by emerging
technology.
Local Zor:ing Authority over telecommunicaYions faciliries placed in right-of-tivay.
U.S. West and others have taken the view in the past several months that local �overnments
do not possess authority to a�ply zoning cEquirements to above ground telecommunication
facilities placed in the right-of-way. Staff believes that we ought to use this legislation to
clarify municipaf wning authority in this area in the aftermath the 1997 right-of-way
legislation.
Eligible Munici�l Activities to he financed out of proposed rn:iversal service fur:d.
Assuming a univecsal service fund is created, cities should have a particular interest in seeing
that eligible activities financed out of the fund include mo� than just the tiaditional ca61e
related activities. If the charge is goin� to be imposed on all telecommunications service
providers, the fund may well be used to enhance the ability of cities to attcact and retain a
broad spectrum of telecommunications related services to a community.
Other Topics Addressed That Could Affect Cities.
Performance Guaranty (Article 1, Section 3):
The requirement to furnish a performance bond (or other financial instrument) is
worded in an ambiguous manner. How are compensatory damaQes to 6e determined?
Can cities draw on the amount of the guaranty drawn upon to address failure of a
provider to meet quality of service or service delivery? Requirements? What are the
procedures for filing complaints under this section?
Lea�ue staff sueaests that the guaranty be viewed as a mechanism to provide for
liquidated damages to recoup civil penalties under 237A.25 (Article 3
CON iN1ISSI0I� PROCESS Al�� PROCEDURES, Sec. 3, Subd. 2. [CNII.
PEI�.aLTY.]
Ku1es (Article 1, Section 4):
There may be advantages to having these matters included in statute rather than giving
the Public Utilities Commission broad rulemaking authority in areas such as uniform
service rules and classifications; local phone number portability; pceservation of
universal and affordable services; service quality standards, etc.
It may be advisab(e to include in statute mandatory requirements for universal service
(Article I�.
l.m.c. 12/2/99 3:26: PAGE 4/9 RightFAX
�0 ���
Inter-connection (Article l, Section 6}:
The langua�e of this section is somewhat azcane and unfamiliar to cities and is lar�ely
unknown to entities other tk�an incumbent re�ional bell operating companies (RBOCs)
and competitive local access providers and long-distance companies. It would be
helpful to simplify and make terms ofthis provision more explicit and easily
understood.
• Alarm Transmission (Article i, Section 3);
Does this section require any modification? Are there implicatioc�s for local public
safety that have notbeen addressed?
Private Shared Tefecommunications Service (Article 1, Section 9)
The circumstances set forth appear to be largely uniamiliar to cities, but it appears that
ihis provision could be applied to shared communications services and equipment
networks which connect city facilities and operations. Do cities benefit from the
inclusion of this provision? What affect do such requirements and obligations have on
city-owned public housing units or other property in which tow-income residents may
require services from a carrier of last resort?
Cross-Subsidization (Article 1, Section 10)
How does this provision p(ay out with respect to the start-up costs and needs of future
municipal telecommunications utilities?
Assessment ofRegufatory Expenses (Article 3, Section 7)
City officials need to talk about the implications ofthis provision re: the
proposed method of assessin� the cost of total PUC expenditures (re: performance of
telecommunications service provider duties) on municipal telecommunications
utilities resard(ess of the e�rtent and nature of their operations.
[Iniversal Service (Article 4}
This is one of the most important features of the bill for the future of local economies
and quality of life in our cities. It is important that cities are comfbrtable and well
served by these requirements, particularly the essential services listed in statute
(Section 1(c) ). The hieher the threshold for services to be included, the more likely
cities will 6e in a position to have access to services that make them competitive with
those provided etsewhere in the state.
in Section 2, should the state be encouraeed to solicit contracts for services on a
regional as weil as on a local basis (resional area networks)?
In Section 3, if the tegislature enacts these universal service provisions, should these
funds be drawn for a broader range of telecommunications services than that described
in this section? Is there a more appropriate and equitable allocation of funding? In
view of the convero nce of telecommunications service providers, is it satisfictory to
l.m.e. 12/2/99 3:26: PAGE 5/9 RightFAX
DO��.�
rely solely on the terms "municipally provided telecommunications content and public
access to p�ovide ihat content"?
• Right-of-Way (Article 5)
Changes have been pmposed to delete the provision ((237A4�, Section 2, Subd. 5(b)
to conform to changes to pmvisions adopted by the 1994 legislature (which removed
the bindin� azbitiation requirements of the statute as per an aereement between the
telephone industry and local government units}.
CTTY OF SAINT PAUL � ° �`�
2000 LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS
Title: Statewide Youth Sport Facilities/Amateur Sports Commission
I. Eaplain this proposal
There is a growing and very real need for additional youth soccer facilities in the state and in
particular the metro area. Saint Paul has recentiy eazmarked $510,000 for youth soccer facilities
and is currently working on a plan to help fill the needs of youth soccer in the city. Filling the
needs of the youth is an important component the continuing effort to make Saint Paul a more
livable community.
Cunently, a total of $6 million is being requested for a program similar to "Mighty Ducks" (which
was used for youth hockey arena) to help build more soccer fields, and a companion program
dubbed "Mighty Kids" would have the State fund an additional $6 million on other youth athletic
facilities.
II. What are advantages of this proposal
Soccer is the most quickly growing sport in the country and in particular Minnesota. Youth of
Saint Paul need more soccer fields on which to play soccer and to occupy their time in a
productive and healthful fashion. Providing additional soccer fields will help keep Saint Paul's
youth offthe street and out oftrouble.
III. Identify known support
Ramsey County, Soccer Spaces, Minnesota Youth Soccer
IV. Identify known opposition to this proposal
None
