Patton, Community Development Coordinator `��'�, ��'� Date: October 2, 1975 Re: Council Request for Graphic Illustrations At the July 22 City Council meeting, a motion was moved and passed which stated, in essence, that the Mayor and City Administrator prepare graphic illustrations that would depict the various relationships between govern- mental units, especially the relationships anticipated with the establishment of the proposed citizen participation process. After considerable discussion and revision, staff was able to finalize charts that seem to portray the various relationships in a clear and understandable manner. The widespread need for such illustrations became obvious during the initiation of the General District Planning Process, Therefore, these charts will not only be useful for Council hearings, but they will also be appropriate for neighborhood meetings and staff orientations as well. Attached are reductions of the following charts: 1. Abbreviated Organizational Structure (present) 2. Planning Commission Relationships 3. CIB Coc�nittee Relationships 4. HRA Board Relationships 5. Abbreviated Organizational Structure (with proposed Citizen Participation Process component) 6. Relationships of the Proposed Citizen Participation Process Component 7. CoIIanunity Development Block Grant Planning Process for Community Development Year II Each chart will be explained in detail.

A RESPONSE TO CRITICISriS LEVELL"D AGAINST THE SYI.VESTER, HOZZA AND CHRISTENSEN RESOLUTIOiv AND GUIDFLIIdES CO�;CERNING CITIZEN'S PARTICIPATION (Prepared by the Citizen Participatian Forum Negotiating Team and Interested C3.tizens.) CR]CTICISM: The Sylvester Resolution will create mdditional bureaucracy an� gaver�ment. A.NS4,�ER; (1) The PAC and other community council experience does not indicate this- we are only making the PAC procedures available city wide. We are not creat- ing a new govermnent system. (2) District Councils will be advisory only and will par�icipate only in majnr activities that affect a neighborhood and Community Development Revenue Sharing (CDRS) activities-not on all city government issues. (3) Only those districts who entex into a contract will have the opportunity to advise. This program will nut necessarily be city wide. (4) Our system of goverr►ment calls for the particigation of citizexis on issues that significantly affect them. People should have the right to collectively .� i.. ..1wr1C� .. a. _a.2��t��,`-.. TF L.• 1J 1 �:>:Yu:w a.v osgiaaita.�+ia�. o�.LiV1L14r1� i� i.a►iu u�tnilb u 11�i.LC 11lVLC uui�eaucraCy� so be it. CRITICISM: The District Councily instead of siding the citizen, will become a barrier between him and City Council. ANSWER: (1) Experience such as that of Lexington-Hamline and Dayton's Bluff Caaununity Council and the PAC's markedly indicates otherwise. The existence of such groups has enhanced the ability of the citizen to respond to activities which significantly affect a neighborhood and to initiate proposals. (2) The idea of the Sylvester Resolution is to legitimatize participation. One complaint in the past has been that the City Council doesn't really know if a person speaks for a neighborhood. The Resolution would help to solve this problem and as the Roedler Amendment suggests, would in no way limit the xight of an individual to go to City Council. Moreover, it is nowhere stated in the - Resolution or Guidelines that a citizen Frould have to have the blessing of the District Council before going to City Cauncil. (3) As s uggested by (1) , the Sylvester Resolution will enhance a citizens' power through collective action, � CRITICTSM: The Sylvester �e3alution will del�y deve�opment and will interfere with attracting business to St. Paul. ANSWER: (1) Once again the experience of existing community councils and PAC`s indicates otherwise. Many of these groups (such as in Stunmit-University� have used citizen participation in an attempt to attract business. (2) On the contrary, the Sylvester Resolution and Guidelines provides for business participation in district councils and may for the first time result in business and residents working together. (3) The Resolution and Guidelines, through the creation of District #17, provides a first time structure whereby downtown business interests, downtown xesidents, and representatives from the various neighborhood districts of St. Paul can come together on dev�lopment questions that affect the whole of St. Paul and on the use of CDRS funds needed to provide for economic development and the attraction of business. (4) A district council only has the authority to advise the City Council. It cannot legally delay or unpede development. (5) By im�olving a district council at the early stages of development (that effects their district) and by providing for the participation of businesspersons, economic development may be pursued in a positive and co-operative fashion, instead of excluding residents, so that they are only able to react negatively at the later stages, such as with the recent Byerly's matter. CRITICISM: The Syivester Resolution and Guidelines are too formalistic and structured. ANSWER: (1) Th� Resolution and Guidelines are very flexible in terms of City . Council control, for example: (a) The Resolution and Guidelines are discretionary, the �quncil can ignore them if they aren't working out. (b) The City Council can determine if the district council is truly representative before they enter into a contract. And if they cease to be representative the Council can end the contract for cause. (c) The Council can control, to a great extent, what goes into a contract. (d) The Council can change the fundiag amount for each district on a yearly basis, depending on changing needs. (e) The Council can change boundaries as needs determine. (f) The Council can review the contract on a yearly basis. (2) The Resolution and Guidelines are very flexible and non-formalistic in terms of District needs, for example: (a) The activities and procedures for a district aouncil will be re- com�nended by the residents of the ciistrict and spelled out in the contract. In other words, the contract can be "tailor-made" to fit the interests, needs and abilities of the district. (b) These activit�.es and procedures can be changed as needs, experience and district council maturity dictate. PAGE 2 (c) The district councils must respect existing groups and community organizations and any form of election and appointment, including fed- eration, may be used to select the district council members. (d) The Resolution and Guidelines are foward looking and provide flex- ibility so that districts can opt in when neighborhood needs and wishes so dictate - nothing requires a district to participate now. (e) A district can determine its own organizational structure through the use of by-laws. CRITICISM: We can find something which will fit our neighborhoods of need without a formal citizen participation structure. ANSWER: (1) This statement means more of the same. Our present unstructured process does not meet neighborhood needs or so many people would not be asking for some new farm of participation. (2) Without a structure people will not be able to effectively and col- lectively participate in CDRS or other significant issues affecting their neighborhood. (3) If we don't have a structure, we will lose what we already have, i.e. PAC`s which represent many of the areas of need. We will be taking a step backwards. (4) The Resolution merely calls for the PAC contracts to be extended to those districts who want to participate. If this structure has not been too formalistic in the past and has been effective why abandon it now? CRITICISM: There is no city-wide sentiment for the Sylvester Resolution. ANSWER: (1) Please refer to the document of the Forum which demonstrates that a a large and varied number of people from all of the proposed districts have participated to some extent in the 43 public meetings that have been held on citizen participation. (2) It is impossible to really measure city-wide sentiment. All relevant gZroups including labor and business have been invited to participate and the Sylvester Resolution is very much a compromise proposal resulting from the input of many citizens and groups throughout the city. (3) The minority report which, as was pointed out by a City Council mem- ber, was developed by a significant and varied group of community leaders, has been almost entirely incorporated into the Sylvester Resolution and Guidelines. All but one of the preparers of that report now support the Sylvester Resolution. (4) Some civic organizations support the Resolution, i.e. Urban League, RAP and some existing community councils . . . . all representatives of neighborhoods. The better question would be how many civic organizations PAGE 3 oppose the Resolution other than Tradea and Labor an� the execu�ive committee of the Chamber of Cammerce (their board took no for�al action) . (5) We all know that it is impossible for a large number of persons to continuously participate in a process that has involved at least 43 public meetings. Moreover, many community leaders have participated in the develop- ment of the proposal that underlies the Resolution. CRITICISM: The distribution of funds is unfair. You are mixing up CDRS participation with citizen�s participation. ANSWER: (1) The $267,000 pre.sently budgeted for citizen's participation is coming from Community Development feder.al funds which are designated for areas of need, i.e. areas with a large percentage of substandard housing, general blight, high ratios of low-incomed people, ►ninorities etc. Thus a large percentage of the Community Develooment money will be going to these areas of need so that they can participate in CDRS activities, as contemplated by the federal legislation. If the money in the future is to come out of city tax dollars then it should be evenly distributed. (2) To some extent the Sylvester Resolution does deal with both citizen participation and CDRS participation. However, we must remember that participation in the use of CDRS monies is probably the most significant present area of citizen partfcipation and thus the two concepts are for the most part the same. {3) Making �vailable a portion of the fed�ral fun3s, which ha�e bee:. his- torically used for development and participation in areas of need, (let us not forget that Community Develop�ent is essentially the same program as the old federal renewal and NDP programs. . . . which, as now, provided money for citizen participation) to areas other than areas of need wi11 help those areas to develop community �nformation systems and meeting places that will allow these non-CD areas to take part in other citizen participation activities. (4) A major reason that St. Paul is receiving more federal Community Development money than any other city of comparable size is because of the effective activities of the PAC groups. The fact that they need a major portion of the allocated money to complete renewal and development activities should not be held against them. (5) The Resolution allows for flexibility so that areas, who are not getting much money ir Year I, may receive more in the future as district needs dictate. CRITICISM: District Councils will diminish the power and ability of existing community groups and other organizations such as Trades and Labor and other issue groups. ANSWER: (1) Citizens participation is only for CDRS and other signiffcant activities which affect a neighborhood. Groups such as Trades and Labor and other issue groups will be able to continue to function on issues which concern PAGE 4 their membership and their mandate. Community councils have historically not been involved or interested in such issues, but only in major issues which affect their neighborhood. The two types of groups are not mutually exclusive. (2) The Resolution and Guidelines expressly provide that the power and structure of existing Community Councils and groups shall be respected. What this means is that existing groups such as Lexington-Hamline or Payne-Minnehaha will be able to continue to function in areas of traditional involvement while having the ability to be represented and to combine with other residents and groups of a district on larger issues. CRITICISM: The Sylvester Resolution will fragmentize the city into insular neigh�orhoods having no common community goal. ANSWER: (1) Once again the experience of existing Corrnnunity Councils and PAC's demonstrates otherwise. (2) A District Council will be limited to involvement on those areas that significantly affect their neighborhood, not those areas of city-wide concern. (3) To the extent there is a need for District Councils to communicate and combine on city-wide issues, an amendment to the Resolution would provide a vehicle for this to happen. This process is not fra�mentizing, but rather provides a �ehicle for a collective voice on city-wide cr�ncerns, which would seem to be vositive and unifvine. (4) The City Council remains the final deci.sian :na�cin� authority on all matters. This is the proper forum and final vehicle for decisions oP city-wide importance to be made. CRITICISM: The Sylvester Resolution will be a training ground for future politicians. ANSWER: For once we can agree with a criticism. Only we don't consider this to be a negative factor, but rather to the extent people can become involved and . interested in neighborhood affairs and to the extent persons acquire necessary "training" and experience for future politicial invotvement, we feel this is a plus factor. Isn't it a positive process to have people making decisions for us who have participated in and have become aware of neighborhood activities and the political process and respect the right of each American citizen to be involved? Isn't this sort of experience or "training" . and process the American way? . PAGE 5 - CRITICISM: There is no need to change the present system of citizen participation in gover�nent in Saint Paul. ANSWER: On this question, the people of Saint Paul: (1) Are satisfied with their present participation in pub2ic decision making, including neighborhood public decisions; (2) Are dissatisfied with their present participation;. � (3) Don't care about participating. Many of the people opposing the Resolution fall into the first category and see no need for change. Many of the peogle who were participants in the Citizen Participation Forwn process fall into the second group. Most of the people fall into the third group. Obviously those who presently enjoy influence upon public decision making are satisfied with the present opportuni- ties for their participation. 3ust as obviously, those who feel that they do not have access to public decison making are dissatisfied. As an over- simplification, we could say that this issue ia the basic issue separating those for and against the citizen garticipation proposal. � PAGE 6 A POSITION PAPrR CONCERNING PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE SYLVESTER, HOZZA AND CHRISTENSEN RESOLUTIOrI ANn GUIDELINES CONCERrdI`7G CITIZE:r'S PARTICIPATIO:�I (Prepared by the Forum Negotiating Team and other Interested Citizens) Councilman Roedler's Amendment We support this amendment. It is consistent with our process of government and the intent .of the Sylvestor Resolution. Councilwoman Hunt's Amendments We oppose both amendments. The first amendment concerning termination of the Resolution after one year is totally unnecessary in view of the fact that the Sylvester Resolution is discretionary; can be repealed at any time; and the fact that the City Council must review contracts on a yearly basis. Moreover, is it necessary that this entire process repeat itself again next year.

Consideration should be given to possibly expanding the Commission, but not duplicating its function. Councilman Christensen's Amendments `We support all the amendments except the one changing the boundaries of Districts ��16 and �68. While we understand that this amendment will probably not be offered, if change in the boundaries is needed in the future the Resolution provides for this. Moreover, research indicates that the avowed need for such change (malce it consistent with the "Historic District") is not realistic in that the proposed change would not pick up the entire historic district. Finally, we feel that this change should have been discussed at the Forum and that any change is inconsistent with the community needs and interest of District �k8 (the presen� MNPC district). The remainder of the amendments are technical and are necessary to insure that: (a) a city-wide coordinating committee be established at a later date; (b) the Guidelines become part of the Resolution and that the Resolution, like the PAC Resolution be binding instead of discretionary; (c) that District��17 have more than one downtown resident representative; and (d) that� the relevant parts of the PAC contracts be extended to the extent a district determines is necessary.

ROEDL.ER �Uly 22, 1975 SH[RLEY M. GEER Councilman Legislative Aide Dear Councilmember: If the calls and letters to my office are any indicators, then the heat generated by our recent July temperatures is nothing compared to the "heat" of the reactions to the proposed citizen participation program. From the input I have had, feel- ings are running at least 12 to 1 against district councils and in favor of further deliberation before any final decision by the City Council . The people I talked with seem both concerned and confused about the proposal. And they were irritated about the apparent late date at which they were informed. Some told me that they still don't understand the details of the system, nor the potential impact it will have on Saint Paul . Others had questions which I could not answer and which probably will be brought up at Tuesday evening's hearing. Overall , I can honestly say that I have received more calls and letters on this issue than on any other single issue in the 22 years I have been on the City Council . The onYy possible exception would be the reaction to the energy shortages, and those were spread out over a longer period and covered a much broader spectrum. The difference, of course, is that the reactions to the initial stages of the energy crisis were those of shock, dismay, and disbelief. As far as the district council system, the feelings are much stronger and definite. The majority of people I heard from were irritated and angry and adamant in their support or criticism of the district council proposal . My purpose in writing this letter is to request your consideration of a 30-day cooling-off period before we take any final action. A cooling-off period is not unusual in labor negotiations and is viewed as a healli�y approach to the more difficult and controversial problems. It gives everyone a respite, a chance to sit back and think things out. I, for one, feel that some extra cooling-off time is necessary on this question. I know that there is some feeling among those who have been involved with the Citizens' Forum that enough time has already been spent. I know that there are other pressures on us, individually and as a body, to hastily decide this question and approve the quarter million dollar fund appropriation. 22 - 2 - But I'm always cautious when I feel I'm being pressured for a fast action or snap decision. In this case, especi.ally, when so much is at stake for so many, I cannot accept being pushed into a decision which could be the wrong one and which we could regret later. We are the ones who have the final power and authority to make that decision; but we're also the ones who are going to have to live, sleep, and work with the results. , I sincerely hope that you will give my suggestions your serious consideration. I believe that this would be the wisest and most prudent action at this time. Since ly, PATRICK J. R DLER Councilman a - -- � � `4 � � �� POSITION OF THE PAYNE-PJIINNEHAHA C01��114UNITY COUNCIL y��tYtu.� R�GARDING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A CITIZEN PARTICIPATION DISTRICT COUNCIL SYSTEM AS PROPOSED AND RECOn'�ZENDED BY THE CITIZEN PARTICTPATION FORUt�i CONVENED BY �fIAYOR LAtvRENCE COHEN IN F�BRUARY oF 1975• Tonite the Payrie-Minnehaha Community Council wishes to go on record as indicating their full and complete support of the citizen participation district council system as proposed and recommended by the Citizen Participation Forum which consisted of all residents of Saint Pau1 wishing to participate, The Forum labored for many �ong and difficult months in the preparation of a citizen participation plan which we belis�e ':o � realistic, effective, open, and �enuine. The purpose of this program, as we understand it� is to involve citizens in developing plans for� and making decisions on , programs and activities that affect their neighborhoods and is intended to enable citizens to have direct input on a wide variety of city programs and projects. We view the proposed plan as an opportun�.ty to effectively participate in a real rather �han in an imagined way. We consider Councilwoman Hunt's and Councilman Roedler's proposal for a slower, step-by-step method as mere tokenism and as an attempt �o abQrt any further progress in encouraging an� supportin�; more citizen participation at the g:ass roots level. In recent days, the opposition has resorted to much name-calling regarding the na.ture of the citizen participation program. Many of the people who did not participate in the formation of the p�an in a consistent manner now find it so easy to criticize. It seems to us that name-calling indicates a display of ignorance regarding th$ real nature of the program. Some segments of business and labor have indicated that they do not feel neighborhaods should have any direct responsibility in deciding how community developaent monie5 ought to be spent� but yet we wonder why it was alright when business and labor could directly influence how essentially these same monies were allocated in the past. Do the citizens of St. Paul need labor and business to be "Big Daddy" to them? Some have criticized the City Council for alledgedly attempting to make their jobs easier and softer and trying to create another layer of government. We would affirm that the idea is not to '�supplant the autharity and responsibility of the City Council but to supplement the work of the Council. We would also point out that if indeefl this program is another layer of government, then it is an essential layer because it is the true foundation layer and without that, the other layers of government can become removed from the real heartbeat of the peopl.e. There are also those who have strongly suggested that there was not adequate citizen participation and that a "let' s wait and see" attitude should be taken. We would remind theCity Council of the story of Christopher Columbus in the 15th century. Columbus had a .. ' far reachin� proposal to discover new lands and to expand the horizons of people. You may recall that in Columbus ° s case, the cost was axsg�Hi excessive� imminent danger was foretold , and his proposal lacked support because people did not understand its ��t potential n�r did they believe it could be doneS Columbus was willing to take some calculated risks and it paid off immensely! Tonite, we call upon the City Council to display the same courage and the same vision =� � d the same commitment of Columbus to a plan that b` h poten-�ial for maintaining and enhancing the humar all our citizens and pres�rving their *�� } • t to control their own destinies. �� _��R'�y. ��`' : . ,,�Y, 1)F� � �'.� A, �� ' ' ��.i� �= � �� r �} S�r� pr C t �r k �� i � x.

July 22, 1975 , CI TI ZEN PARTICIPATION PROPOSAL ' � �� y �� ''� I would like to make a couple of proposals to Le � added to the election process of delegates represen�ing their neighbors on the Community Councils: l. That Community Councils should be non political: so that people would not use political caucuses to get _elected to the councils, 2. Election should be evenly divided throughout the council area by filing as a candidate from their own neighborhood area. �.e council area could be divided by 4 to 8 block . areas with one (1)� candidate elected from this area. �is way it would get more people involved and would have � representation evenly throughout the entire council area. Also the delegate would be- elected by his or her ov�n . neighbors that knoiv them the best, and it would give people with limited funds� a chance to be involved with their community and helping St. Paul as a whole to be a � better city. . This would also eliminate the possibility of 5 or 6 � people living on the same block on one end of the council all getting elected� because they had been the most involved with politicso This would not give a community �aod even representation._ By having uniform elections � of delegates to all counails city vvide could be less confusing to peopleo If every council was left to decide their own elections you would be defeating citizen participation because it would eliminate most people from running, 3. The delegates elected by their neighbors would in turn. elect their officers from their own membership. 4.

July 9 and an RHA position paper being circuiated in the Stm�it—University co�nmunity. That letter also explains our position with regard to the Christensen boundary amendment to the CP resolution which we unders-�and he introduced for discussion purposes because he wa.s asked to and without background. We do not feel it is necess�ry to conduct neighborhood disputes i.n City Coun.cil chambers� and we would naturally have pre�erred the opportunity to resolve this ma.tter within the cc�momunityo This can still occur with provisions in the CP program for resolution of boundary disputes. The �C has i.nstructed me to ask you i.n writing o� the stro:�est possible lan�a.ge to reject the amendment to ex�an.d Distxiet 16 3.nto axeas that have long been part o� the Distriet 8 S�mmmit— IIniversity ca�vni.ty.

It ha,s all been "aired" to the tazpayers, and they are aore convinced than ever that you have youraelvee in a �am when you are aplitting the city into 17 dis- triats, which ie dividing the city. not bringin� it together. F�,irtheraore, we ask if you are attempting to destroy city-wide organizations. Comdereial clubs, church organizations, comnunity orgauizations, labor unions; now you would split thes up into 3 or 4 �roups around the city again. Are r►e to have 17 oouncilmen? If you give all your powere to theee citiz�n participation groupa, w�jr do We need you? We eould hire a high priced attorney for laes and let him represent us. Y�n � the people we elected to the �ob. Onoe again we repeat the last linea of our letter of April 3rd� 1975• � Ezpenaes are ¢rowing as power ie being taken avray, a11 at taipayer's ezpense. We do not Wish to lose onr autonoaous govern�ent, nor do re wiah to give it awsy. We need a etrong local governaent by elected officials, cit�rfde, xho vill be responsive to the electorate, aad who will abide by charter and eonetitutior�al protections. �or oaa ve continue to pay for more deputies, secretaries, adminietrators, or citizens Who elaia to be part�iaipeting. The augar bowl is e�pty. Again, don�t give our �ote and your powers avey. If you do, we the taxpe�rers, shall have to reaort to stronger methoda of representation.

CITIZEN PARTICIPATION 163 West Sixth Street Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102 298-5350 July 9, 1975 T0: SAINT PAUL CITY COUNCIL FROM: NEGOTIATION TEAM OF THE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION FORUM The Negotiation Team, representing the Saint Paul Citizen Participation Forum and others, would like to go on record stating that we do not in any manner, shape or form, aupport the figure of $267,000 as a maximum allocation for the Citizen ParCicipation Program in CDRS Year I. We would like to make it perfectly �lear that we feel that the City Council has not budged from the figure af $267,Q00 since they first came to the Saint Paul citizens on January 28, 1975 and asked that we (the citizens) set up the Citizen Participation process. City Council has not given any real considera- tion to the funding amount necessary Co realistically give the Citizen partici- pation process a chance to succeed. Thu�, the Council's stand is inconsistent with their stated proposition that the Citizen Participation procesa is a trial package that they hope will succeed. Further, we do not underatand the logic behind $267,000 for sixteen districts when the four target areas have a budget over $267,000 and Che four Project Area Committees (PACs) had a budget of $261,000. we feel that $267,000 representa a failure clause in the whole Citizen Participation process.
