MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF METAL SHELVING
DATE: OCTOBER 13, 1993
Attached is my request to purchase shelving to be placed along
the fence area in the City Hall garage. The Water Board will
be purchasing 2 units for storage of water meters. The additional
unit will be used to store Administrative and Financial files
and for storage of janitorial supplies that can no longer be
stored in our mechanical room.
Funding for the purchase will be provided by a budget transfer
from the Water Fund for services provided by the administrative
department on the distribution of the water meters.
I recommend that we purchase the shelving units from Grainger
because the price is better and they are constructed of a heavier
gauge steel.
If you have any questions, please let me know.

MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
SUBJECT: HOCKEY RINK LIGHTS AT MIDDLE SCHOOL
DATE: OCTOBER 13, 1993
I am requesting that the Council approve lights for the new
skating rink complex at the Middle School. Payment for the
lights would come from the Park Improvement Fund. Following
is a list of expenses for the lights, future expenses and the
financial status of the Park Improvement Fund.
Light Expenses
1 . Light Poles (6) Donated
2. Light Fixtures for Rinks & Pleasure $10, 099
3. Installation 1, 000
4. NSP Service 5, 000
5. Gas. Service 855
6 . Warming House * 500
7 . Rink Boards (2) Donated
Total ($17,454.00
Future Expenses
1 . Warming House ** $30, 000
2. Light Fixtures - 3rd rink/pleasure 5, 000
3 . Light Poles - 3rd rink Donated
4. 3rd rink boards Donated
Park Improvement Fund Status
1 . Cash as of 8/31/93 $61 , 752
2. Grant Expenses - Property (78, 840)
- Development (64,000)
3 . Rambling River Repair Reimbursement 21,000
4. State Reimbursement 78, 312
5. Budget Trail - 1993 7, 000
Total Remaining After Grant Completion $25,224
* Volunteers will cut down and restore old High School site
warming house and will use for storage when we replace it.
** This warming house cost will be materials only. Volunteers
will build it. The cost will be shared by the School District,
City and Youth Hockey.
With the $25, 224 left in the Park Improvement Fund (PIF) plus
the development money coming in, I believe the PIF can support
this project. The rink complex is in the 1994 CIP. With the
donations coming in we will be saving money on this expense
and will not have to spend $100,000 as originally planned.

,r;;. League of Minnesota Cities (612)490.5600 L
October 1, 1993
TO: Mayors, Managers, and Clerks
FROM: Lee Swanson, LMC President
RE: Unfunded Mandates Day
The League is collaborating with the National League of Cities and other associations
representing local government in an important public education campaign to explain the
impact of the dramatic increase in the mandates imposed on cities by the federal government.
The effort will begin on Wednesday, October 27, "Unfunded Mandates Day" in cities
4t" throughout the United States.
I am urging all LMC member cities to help educate citizens and lawmakers about how
unfunded federal and state mandates affect cities. I have enclosed information to help your
city actively participate. The materials have suggestions to help you draw attention to the
fmancial and administrative burdens of unfunded state and federal mandates on local budgets
and taxes. I encourage your city to take the following steps prior to and on October 27, and
to continue this effort throughout the coming year:
(1) Adopt the enclosed resolution on unfunded mandates at a city council
• meeting BEFORE October 27, and send/fax a copy to the League if you do.
(LMC fax: (612) 490-0072)
(2) Modify the enclosed sample letter to fit your city's situation and
send it to members of the Minnesota Congressional Delegation over the
*aAY.
mayor's signature.
(3) Provide at least one example of a federal and/or state mandate that has
had a major impact on your city. Send a description of that mandate to
Sarah Hackett at the LMC Office by OCTOBER 13. Include a general
description of the specific requirement(s); an estimate of the cost to your
city; and a brief explanation of the impact of the mandate(s) on city
operations and services.
As part of the activities for October 27, I will write an editorial about the effects of mandates
on cities for distribution to major daily newspapers. The League will send you a different
editorial that you can use with your local paper. You will need to add some examples of the
Cr impact of mandates on your city.
F
. _wit_ ._
Below is a list of some state and federal mandates. Enclosed you will also find a flyer the
National League of Cities has produced which answers questions about mandates. Please
make additional copies for councilmembers as well as for citizens in your community with
whom you may have a chance to discuss these concerns.
Thank you and good luck!

Sample R,esoCution on Unfunded Mandates
Whereas, unfunded mandates on local government have increased significantly in I,
' recent years;
i
Whereas, federal and state mandates do not consider local circumstances, costs, or I
pcapacity, and subject cities to civil or criminal penalties for noncompliance;
pWhereas, federal and state mandates require compliance regardless of other press- I
ping local needs and priorities affecting the health, welfare, and safety of citizens;
Whereas, federal and state burdens on local governments force cities to impose a
combination of higher local taxes and fees on local taxpayers and/or reduce local
,,a Bi services to citizens; I
I Whereas, federal and state mandates are I
often inflelnble, require-
ments with unrealistic time frames and overly specific and inflexible procedures
Dwhere less costly alternatives may be just as effective;
pWhereas, the cumulative impact of these laws and rules directly affect the citizens
pof our cities; and
ll Whereas, the League of Minnesota Cities, in collaboration with the National
League of Cities, seeks to help citizens understand and then help encourage law-
makers to reduce the burden and inflexibility of unfunded mandates, beginning
with a National Unfunded Mandates Day on October 27, 1993;
Now, therefore, be it resolved that the (City of )
-'; endorses the League's efforts and those of the National League of Cities and will
fully inform our citizens about the impact of state federal mandates on our local
pt spending and taxes;
Be it further resolved that the (City of ) i
v endorses this year of mandate awareness, beginning on October 27 by informing
and working with members of our Congressional delegation and our state legisla-
Xtors to educate them about the impact of federal and state mandates and the ac-
11
tions necessary to reduce these burdens on our citizens.

We are writing on behalf of the citizens and taxpayers of Farmington, Minnesota,
' asking your help in reducing the burden of unfunded federal mandates. We urge .
vyour action to force a change in the way the federal government considers future
mandates.
Today we are beginning a public education campaign in our City about what federal
mandates are and what they mean to citizens. We intend to make clear the real
7,4%- costs that are passed on to our City.
Federal mandates directly affect the citizens of our cities and towns. Legislative
f ' and regulatory requirements to perform duties without consideration of local priorites,
costs or possible alternatives put an unfair burden on taxpayers. By ignoring
t other pressing local needs or priorities, federal mandates take decision making
'' powers out of the hands of local officials.
e ,, Too often, federal rules and regulations are inflexible, impose unrealistic time
0
frames, and specify procedures or facilities where less costly alternatives might
Ig
`` k> by just as effective. It is time for that to change.

",r copy of a resolution on federal mandates adopted by our City Council. We would
like to report that Congress will act to reduce stormwater and drinking water
;f < mandates before this session adjourns. We would like to report that no future
law or regulation will be imposed without close consultation with local leaders,
and without federal government picking up its share of any costs.
P. eae :join our campaign to end unfunded federal mandates and to reintroduce govern-

RESOLUTION NO. R127-93
RELATING TO UNFUNDED FEDERAL MANDATES AND
DECLARING OCTOBER 27, 1993 AS UNFUNDED MANDATE DAY
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a regular meeting of the
City Council of the City of Farmington, Minnesota, was held in
the Civic Center of said City on the 18th day of October, 1993
at 7 : 00 P.M. .
The following members were present: Kuchera, Orr, Ristow, Galler,
Rotty.
The following members were absent: None.
Member Galler introduced and Member Rotty seconded the following
resolution:
WHEREAS, unfunded mandates on local government have increased
significantly in recent years; and
WHEREAS, federal and state mandates do not consider local circum-
stances , costs or capacity, and subject cities to civil or criminal
penalties for non-compliance; and
WHEREAS, federal and state mandates require compliance regardless
of other pressing local needs and priorities affecting the health,
welfare and safety of citizens; and
WHEREAS, federal and state burdens on local governments force
cities to impose a combination of higher local taxes and fees on
local taxpayers and/or reduce local services to citizens; and
WHEREAS, federal and state mandates are often inflexible, "one
size fits all" requirements with unrealistic time frames and overly
specific and inflexible procedures where less costly alternatives
may be just as effective; and
WHEREAS, the cumulative impact of these laws and rules directly
affect the citizens of our cities; and
WHEREAS, the League of Minnesota Cities, in collaboration with
the National League of Cities, seeks to help citizens understand
and then help encourage lawmakers to reduce the burden and inflexi-
bility of unfunded mandates, beginning with a National Unfunded
Mandates Day on October 27, 1993 .
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Farmington endorses
the League' s efforts and those of the National League of Cities
and will fully inform our citizens about the impact of state and
federal mandates on our local spending and taxes.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Farmington endorses this
year of mandate awareness, beginning on October 27th by informing
and working with members of our Congressional delegation and our
State legislators to educate them about the impact of federal and
state mandates and the actions necessary to reduce these burdens
on our citizens.
This resolution adopted by recorded vote of the Farmington City
Council in open session on the 18th day of October, 1993.

SUBJECT: SET WORKSHOPS - 1) EAST FARMINGTON PUD/PRAIRIE WATERWAY
2) PERSONNEL MATTER - ADA/TQM AND HRA
CONSOLIDATION WITH CITY
DATE: OCTOBER 13, 1993
It is recommended that a Council workshop be set for Monday,
October 25th at 7 : 00 P.M. (6: 30 P.M. ?) to discuss the above mentioned
matters. The following is a brief explanation.
East Farmington PUD/Prairie Waterway
The negotiating committee and staff have assembled a significant
amount of new information that it is felt the full Council should
be updated and discuss the matter. The following information will
be submitted before the meeting:
1) tentative PUD/Plat agreement outline,
2) Prairie Waterway/Ash Street Storm Sewer cash flow analysis,
3) preliminary easement acquisition costs,
4) revised PUD grading plat,
5) proposed fees and charges,
6) tentative project schedule,
7) other information discussed during negotiation sessions.
Personnel - ADA/TQM Proposal
Per prior agreement of the City Council, the City was to initiate
review of the City' s Compensation Plan, including position descriptions
and job evaluations. The Compensation Committee has been reviewing
this activity along with the Federal requirements under the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) . A major provision of the ADA is that
job descriptions must be updated to comply with the law. The Committee
has recommended that the City "kill two birds with one stone" by
updating the City' s compensation plan and meeting ADA requirements
at the same time. In addition, the Committee is recommending the
City revise its compensation manual by using it as a tool for more
clearly defining job and performance expectations and individual
training programs, which is commonly referred to as Total Quality
Process. The Committee has reviewed various proposals and has
agreed that the Dakota County Area Vo-Tech is the best organization
to carry out the process.
It should be noted that money has been budgeted in 1993/1994 to
carry out this program. Representatives from the Vo-Tech will
be p ent lain the program and answer questions you may have.
