Re: Recognition of the Dayton's Bluff Community Council
as the General District Council for District 4
Background
A by-laws cammittee, including membership from the Comnunity Council of
Dayton's Bluff and the planning comnittee for District 4, was formed
in Decem6er of 1975. T[te constitution of the Comnunity Councii nf
Dayton's Bluff was used as a model for reorganization and was revised
to fit the needs of the District 4 comnunity. •
Two public hearings were held in the coRmunity prior to final ratification
of by-laws as revised.
In April officers were elected for the coming year. However, the n wnber
of at-large representatives on the Board was increased from 4 to 10 in
June of 1976, when by-laws were ratified, as revised by the community.
The additiona� six representatives are expected to be seated by mid
September. �
Work Program
The District 4 Counci7 , as. indicated on tt� attached Work Program, will
pursue shart-term planning activities �i.e., Comn�arity Development
Year III) and long-term �]anning activities ti.e.., General District
Planning} . Other planning and programning effiorts include increasin�g
citizen participation efforts, increasing comnunications througtw�t th�

NARRATIY$
In Auguat and September of 1975, it ras unclear both to reaiaents and the Ci�y x2�at
diatrict boundaries in �4 and �5 would be. Therefore, arith the task of CD 7ear 3I
planni.ng approaching, the Com*�++�n;ty Council of Dayton's B�uff and the Pqyne-Minnehalas
Community Council decided to form the {then) District 4 General District Planning
Committee. Thus e 3aint committee of the tti+o groups began planning.
Un September 19, i975 the City Council Het the boundary of district 4 at the
Swede Hollox-lower railroad tracks line, thus making the combined effort of tbe txo
groups no longer neceasary. District � retained ita planning committee to implement
General District Planning'and develop CD Tear II proposale becauae the group xas
already organized and functioning.
After CD Year II requeste xere finalized, the effort mandated by the "ten-step
process" xas undertaken.
Although more than 35 groups auch as churches, booster clubs, service organizations
and institutions Were identified xithin Diatrict 4, the only "neighborhood" groups
having predominant impact on overall issues and activities were the Community Council
of Dayton's Bluff and to a lesser eztent, the Concerned Citisens of the East Side, a
group xhich includes more than District 4 as its area.
In December af 1975, the CCDB and the District 4 GDPC formed a by-laws committee
to develop by-laWS to be submitted to the City for recognition. This committee, chaired
by CCDB Constitution Committee Chairman, Edward Krahmer met several times during
the xinter and early apring.
lt the March a�d April meetinga of the Ca�unity Ceuncil af Dayton's Bluff, the
draft constitution, xhich closely follovs the current operating Constitution of tbe
CCDB xas discussed. At a public meeting on .April 26 and again at the May meetina flf
CCDB the draft xas presented and aome changee were mmsda.
In the meantime� 8a called for in the current (and approved ne�► Gonstitution) i�e
Co���n�ty Council xent ahead xith its regular election of Officers and Board membera
at large at its ipril General Meeting.
ill of these meetings xere annovnced by mailings to the regular CCDB list, coa�siatiag
of abant 150 people, and by either posters at local businesaes or flyers distributed
through the schools. The area, at that time. was not aerved by any community nexspaper..
On I�jr 18 the "Community Gonvention" or public hearing spousored by the CCDB was held
�rith over 200 people in attendance. The meeting, publicized to every Diatrict 4 resident
in the Dayton'a Bluff News and a flyer the rreekend of I�iay 16, resulted in 4 of 11 articles
' HARRATIVE - 2 ,
being adoFted.
The second meeting (a continuation �f May 18� Maa beld on June 14 8nd attended �y
approzimately 10C persons. At that meeting the antire Constitution xas revisved,
including thoae portions approved on I+�y �8, several changes xere nade, and tha entire
- Constitution Was approved to be sub�i;t`ted to the City Covnc3l.
At the regular General Meeting of the CCDB (changed to Daytoa's �luff Community
Councii in the ne�+ Constitution) the Work Program, Proposed Budget, and Qperati�g
procedures called for in the Conatitution Were adopted.
Changea ia the Constitution Were made directly by vote of the people in attendance
at the public hearings, and did not require additional action by the Ezecutive Boara.
The Ezecutive Board of C�DB considers the Constitution as approved at the June 74
meeting of the community, therefore, to not require additional meetings or hearings
prior to being submitted to the City Council.

From: Karen Christofferson �.��
Date: August 19, 1976
Re: Recognition Process for District 4 (Dayton's Bluff Community
Council )
A public hearing was held in the Dayton's Bluff community on August 12,
1976, for purposes of recognizing the Dayton's Bluff Community Council
as the organization responsible for general district plar�ning in District
4.
As a result of questions raised by area residents and members of the City
Council related to by-laws and the recognition process, the City Council
requested Karen Christofferson, coordinator of citizen participation, to
meet with residents of the community prior to final recognition scheduled
for two weeks from the August 12 public hearing date (August 26, 1976).
The purpose of the interim meeting(s� would be to resolve the issues of
special concern.
Ms. Christofferson convened the August 17 meeting �a date mutually-agreed
to on August 12) with residents. of the Dayton's Bluff community. The
attendance list for that meeting is attached.
There were two basic issues discussed at the August 17 meeting. These issues
were by-laws and the 6udget su6mitted to the Office of Community Development.
B -Laws
The residents in attendance at the August 17 meeting intend to recommend that
certain cfianges 6e made in the 6y-laws and brought before the Dayton's
Bluff community for amendments by Decem6er 1 , 1976. The first general
membership meeting will 6e convened in Octo6er, as regularly scheduled.
However, a second pu6lic meeting will also 6e held after the October meeting
for final ratification of the 6y-laws, as amended.
�� �_>z
-2-
Recommended changes include CNote: the following language states only intent.
Final language will 6e provided 6y the Dayton's Bluff Community Council by-
laws committee. The final officfal language of the by laws will reflect the
spirit of the recommended changes� :
Article Intent
4.8 Should read: "No individual or organization. . . " Further,
wording should 6e added to include language contained in
the State of Minnesota Human Rights Act referring to
sexual or affectional preference, marital status, and
status of pu6lic assistance.
VI Should read "Officers And Representatives-At-Large".
6.9 Language to 6e added that states one-half of the members
to the Board should be elected for two years and one-
half elected the following year for two years. The intent
is to stagger representative terms so that Board membership
continuity is maintained.
7.6 Change to "Receive and consider Community Development. . ."
(Section "D"� The words "and act on" would be deleted. The intent is
that recommendations of the General District IV Planning
Committee (a committee of tFie Dayton 's Bluff Community
Council ) should 6e reviewed 6y the Executive Board but that
all recommendations of the Planning Committee should have
the opportunity to 6e acted on by the Dayl;on's Bluff
Community Council .
7.8 This section would 6e added to the by-laws that would in
effect state tFiat the Executive Board will be responsible
for su6mitting all of the recommendations of the General
District IV Planning Committee to the Dayton 's Bluff Community
Council , as per suggested articles 7.6 and 8.9 (to be added) .
VITI Should read "General District Planning Committee."
8.1 Should be changed to read ". . .at least fifteen (15) members."
Language should be added that states officers of the Planning
Committee are elected by tFie Planning Committee. Vacancies
shall 6e filled 6y election at the next Planning Committee
meeting. FurtFier, officers of the Executive Board should
not serve as officers of the Planning Committee. This does
not preclude mem6ership on 6oth the Executive Board and the
Planning Committee.
8.2 Should read "1�em6ers of this Committee shall be nominated and
elec.ted by the membership of the Dayton's Bluff Community
Council . Further, language should be added that clarifies
organization membership and individual membership on the
Planning Committee. Every organization in the Dayton's Bluff
-3- .
f
Article Intent
8.2 community may have a representative. Individual members
(Cont'd) may 6e elected 6y the Dayton's Bluff Community Council .
Organizational mem6ership vacancies will be filled by

Budget
A lengthy discussion was held at the August 17 meeting by community residents
regarding the line item budget submitted to the Office of Community
Development. Two issues related to 6udget were stated. One, some persons
v �V����
, -4-
stated they had not seen the 6udget prior to submission. Two, there was
some disagreement over line items per se.
, As a staff person for the City of Saint Paul , I did not feel I was in a
position to judge the previous activities of the Dayton's Bluff Comrn�_inity
Cou.ncil Executive Board. However, after further discussion, I did
recommend that $16,000 6e placed� in contingency for the Council and that
a line item 6udget 6e submitted for approval at the Octo6er general
membership meeting. I also pointed out that while they would not have
direct use of the 6udget until that time, the approved budget would be
retroactive to July l , 1976 to cover expenses incurred, especially as they
related to the Da�on's Bluff News.
The group agreed to this recommendation and added �hat the Executive Board
should hold an emergency meeting to vote on �vhether or not to rescind the
line item 6udget, as su6mitted, and instead to place $16,000 in contingency.
Members of the Executive Board present agreed to support this action and to
report the results of this meeting to me by Friday, August 20, so that a
Council Resolution could 6e prepared for final action by the City Council
on Thursday, August 26.
At the request of representatives at the August 17 meeting, copies of �his
report will be made available to those persons.
