The city is, however, allowed to perform limited main- tenance of streets, such as filling pot holes and seal coating. 14 6129296166 DECISION RESOURSES 143.

Currently, city residents select their own refuse haulers. The only rules the City of Lino Lakes sets are the company must be licensed and must offer a volume -based rate. City officials and staff are considering changing to an organized collection system. This is a system of refuse collection in which the City contracts with a group of haulers, sets rates, establishes a level of service for all residents, and assigns haulers to each neighbor- hood. The advantages to this system are expanded services and less truck traffic on neighborhhod roads. The disadvantage is the hauler assigned to your neighborhood may not be your current hauler. 156. would you support or oppose the STRONGLY SUPPORT ........

Because economic development and population growth will be slowing in the community, there will be a growing shortfall between city reve- nues and expenditures. Property tax increases have usually reflected the rate of inflation, or the increase in the general cost of living. Suppose the City of Eden Prairie proposed a supplementary property tax increase above the rate of inflation to maintain city services at their current level.... 25.

Changing topics .... Lately, there has been a lot of discussion about the relationship between the Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul and the suburban communities which surround them. Two issues which have arisen are housing and tax base disparities. As you may know, many manufacturing companies and retail outlets have built in or moved to suburban locations. As a result, in many areas, low income families cannot find affordable housing near these jobs sites. And, without better public transporta- tion, they are unable to travel to these new jobs. The State Legislature has been discussing ways in which suburban communi- ties can help Minneapolis and Saint Paul residents access job and housing opportunities there. 126. To help meet these needs, would you favor or oppose the develop- ment of a fair share of low cost or subsidized housing in Eden Prairie? (WAIT FOR RESPONSE) Do you feel strongly that way? 127.

Woodbury is investigating ways to ensure natural areas are re- tained for preservation and scenic purposes. One method for preservation of open space is to have the city Purchase the land.

For each one, please tell me if you feel the city has enough, too many, or too little.... 62. What codes or ordinances do you feel are not being en- forced at about the right level? Lately, there has been a lot of discussion about the relationship between the Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul and the suburban communities which surround them. Two issues which have arisen are housing and tax base disparities. As you may know, many manufacturing companies and retail outlets have built in or moved to suburban locations. As a result, in many areas, low income families cannot find affordable housing near these jobs sites. And, without better public transporta- tion, they are unable to travel to these new jobs. The State Legislature has been discussing ways in which suburban communi- ties can help Minneapolis and Saint Paul residents access job opportunities there. 63.

(WAIT FOR RESPONSE) Do you feel strongly that way? A related issue is that core city tax bases are declining as companies more often locate in the suburbs. As a result, there is less revenue in the two cities and services cuts have been made. The current regional arrangement attempts to share addi- tional revenue from new development throughout the region. But, some people feel that arrangement has not greatly impacted the losses the core cities are experiencing. 66.

As you may know, the City of Woodbury will soon have a shortfall between its revenues earmarked for street construction and needed road improvements.
