Some seventeen municipalities in the .Hennepin County area are participating in this bid, and Richfield's 1977 automobile needs are included in his county bid. The 1977 Central Garage budget providzs for the purchase of nine vehicles, all of-which will be replacements for fully deprec- iated vehicles in the Central Gar-age-Revolving Fund. The city will be pur~~hasing. five intermediate size police patrol vehicles and two station .wagons... These vehicles will replace vehicles currently owned.. by the city which Have' accumulated substantial mileage or wear in city, u e. Each of - the vehicles being replaced. will be sold at next year's Hennepin County auction to obtain a maximum investment return per vehicle. - Because the ,1977 budget includes .funds. for this purpose, it is `recommended that the city council approve this purchase in _the total amount of $'34, 398. 35. - Respectfully submitted, /~ Wayne S.

Richfield Gentlemen: ' Subject: Ordinance Amendments Relating to Open Ignition On October 12, 1976, the city. council gave first reading approval to an ordinance amendment relating' to open: ignitions. -The purpose of .the .amend- ment was to help prevent problems of vandalism or other mischief creaEed, by vehicles left with open ignitions.. .During the council considera ion at that time, the question was raised whether these amendments would ,apply to city owned vehicles, .particularly snow removal and public safety equipment..."The proposed ordinance amendment did not provide for these exceptions, Basically, two amendments were required to deal with these problems. The first w. as an amendment to City Code 9.02, which deals 'with equipment on city streets or public parking areas. The amendment proposed.: originally read as` follows: "y.02 SPECIFIC REGULATIONS-.PARKING. i :Subdivision 1~. [Locking Vehicles] Securing Ignitions.. Any person parking a [ passenger automobile]. motor vehicle on a city street or alley or in any city parking. area shall [lock] secure .the 'ignition so that it may then not be, started by another. If the ignition is secured by a key-, the person hall remove the key and take it with him. " To avoid enforcement problems, the city attorney has suggested that changes be made,in this proposed amendment. The revised amendment recomm-ended by - the city a torney is attached. It should be noted that the provision for exemptions may raise a prosecution problem based on an issue of "denial of equal protection under the law. " ;However, the city attorney feels that this is not a major problem since both ordinance and statutory exemptions do .occur when they are based on "prevailing public. interest. The anrendme~t proposed for .Chapter 10.01, subdivision 4, paragraph (].2j appears to be adequate as it.was approved for first reading. This section deals Council Letter No. 369 -2- Agenda November 22, 1976 primarily .with construction equipment on private property. It is the recommendation of the public safety director, in which I concur, that the city council give second reading approval to these two amendments, with the change as indicated in Ordinance 9.02.

CITY OF RLCHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office'of City Manager :_ Council Letter No. 368 Agenda 'November 22, 1976. The Honorable Mayor and ;~`G~` Members of the City Council City of Richfield... ~ ~N' ~~ `~I Gentlemen: Subject: ,Community Health Services Plane At the November 8, -1976 city council me~ti.ng; .the.. city" council took several . ~ actions<~relaaing to the city's proposed 1977-progrsm for persona health services. The .council<~action of that meeting included th,e following:. 1. Termination of the Suburban.Pubiic Health Nursing Service agree- meat effective December 31, 1976. 2. A decision to purchase° personal health services from Bloomington - • beginning- January 1, 1977. This action :included authorizing the city manager to negotiate a tentative purchase for services agree- ment with-Bloomington -for this purpose. . 3. Authorization to prepare a preliminary community health servic~:s plan for submission-to the county, in application fir corrimunity health services subsidy .funds. The .city manager, has notified the Suburban Public Health Nursing Service that Richfield t i.ll be.~withdrawing from participation in their service effective at tale end of .this year. The City of Bloomington has also been notiified'that vae will:. be purchasing personal health services from- their hea Ith department. ~n agrc-erlent is in the process'. of being prepared and .should be ready for presentation to the ~ ~ . city council at the December 13, 1976 meeting. ' i During discussion of the health services program on November 8, the- council ~ ~ raised several questions regarding. the city's options .far -use of the subsidy monies, and addi Tonal questions regarding the. package of services available from the City:. . of Bloomington. ',The city's subsidy, which should equal approximately $55, OQO, is calculated on ',the basis of the city's own expenditures fpr public health programs. If vve were to reduce our own expenditures for health programs, the subsidy monies ` ~ would be reduced proportionately.. Therefore, it will be necessary to maintain the same level of commitment to health programs. as was proposed and approved in the `adopted 1977 budget, if vve are- to receive the full subsidy far which we are eligible.. Correspondingly, the city must use the entire subsidy for'the mafnaenance and improverrcent of community health services. Whatever portion y Council Letter Nq. 368 -2- November 22, 1976 of,the subsidy monies :are not used to maintain or improve health programs will go back to the State Department of .Health. ~- The .City of Richfield has traditionally supported- a very strong environmental health_proc~ram supplemented by personal health program. The state,guidelnes for the community health services plan and for allocation of- ubsidy monies stipulates that monies 'should b~ used.in accordance with adopted city priorities for health 'programs. -The .opportunity to purchase personal health services from the City of Bloomington provides Richfield an occasion to significantly `expand and improve:' the personal health services which we, make available to Richfield residents. This expansion of services is a legitimate use for the subsidy funds. However, in paste years, the city has directed rriost of its resources -for health programs ' into the development. and maintenance of a strong. environmental health program. Therefore, the subsidy. monies should also be used to help support this area of health programming; which has been ahigh- priority in previous; years,, For this reason, the tentative plan for Richfield allocates approximately. X41, 000 of the subsidy funds to personal health `services while allocating the remaining $14,0:00 to the environmental health programs. , -Our research and investigation indicates that breakdown of the funding appears to be consistent with the state requirements. Moreover, .it will provide she--city with the resources to pur^hase the package of services from Bloomington, while also maintaining our present environmental health' program. `The use of subsidy monies to help. support the` environmental health program wil also: enable the city to free up one CETA position which has been ` • used ih the health department over the last two dears) and make available that CETA funding .for support of`some other services where city funds are insufficient or addtionaa outside revenues are unavailable to provide that service. .The city council also raised some questions regarding. the specific serViees to be included in!the package of services purchased from the City of Bloomington. In talking with representatives of the Hennepin County Office of Planning and De- velopment, and in reviewing the provisions-of the Community Health Services Act, it has .been concluded that the subsidy mona.es cannot be used for support of the Storefront counseling services. Services such as those- offered by the ~ Storefront are not an eligible activity for funding under the Community. Health. Services`Act. The basic program of the Storefront is funded `as a youth diversion project, in conjunction with the .Criminal justice System and is not classified. as a health service program or a health services delivery :agency. The counseling program offered by the City of Bloomington is primarily a health counseling program and is administered as part. of their overall. health ' education activity. In fact, the Bloomington Health Department has made numerous _ referrals .to the Storefront and similar agencies for. specific. chemical dependency li Likewise a ro riate referrals can be made by the Storefront to_the counse ng. Pp P health service counsellor. The council also requested additional information regarding the school services. '`~ The Suburban Public Health Nursing Service in the past has provided general con-- sultatve supportto the schools in Richfield. The school.nursng program operated i Council Leiter No. 368 -3- ` November 22, 1.976 by the Bloomington Health Department would provide primarily the same support services': The nurses are available for consultation to both the public and private schools and would work in:conjunction with the schools in setting'up hearing `and vision screening clinics. The nursing- program alsotakes referrals. from the schools, both public and private;,. if the school feels a home visit or additional services outside of tY~iose provided by the school are necessary. h T e s ecific nit ure of th _ e p ro rams fre uen c of h ro P t e rams an reak g b d q Y p g dawn of funding among the various programs, included in the health s'erv:~es '~ package will be defined more clearly-through our negotiations with the .City of Bloomington in establishing' a contract for services agreement. Bloomington ''i has indicated however, that they are-unable ,to separate.: out specific- services. For. instance, the` Richfield schools in the past consulted with the Bloomington Health Departrrient. It would be quite difficult for_B oomington to refuse to ;provide assistance or support to he Richfield.. Schools on the basis that the city was not paying: for that service.' Correspondingly, th"e referrals from the schools to the :health service and the assistance of ;the schools in identifying health . problems which children may have, are necessary relationships in establishing a truly effective home. nursing and clinic program. L The council also authorized the staff to begin preparation of a Community E Health Services Flan.. A copy of the prelimi ary plan is attached to this council letter for council review and approval... This plan has been forwarded' to the I~- • Hennepin County Office of Planning and Development to review for conformance to the State Health Department requirements. The final plan`must be submitted to the county for inclusion in the county health- services plan before the end of November. ' It is recommended°that the city council adopt the- attached resolution, approving:-the community health services plan and authorize final submission of the :plan in application for the Community Health Services Act subsidy... A county hearing onour plan and others in our area has-.been scheduled for November 30; -1976; In conjunction with. the Gommunity Health°Services Flan two additional actions are required by the city council. The Richfield City Ordinance Code. and ~, .the Minnesota Statutes both require that. the Gity of Richfield have a health officer. who should be a practicing physician. The city council is designated by city t charter,as the Bo~rd of Health with the health officer (a practicing physician) and the city sanitarian (environmental health director) serving as eX-officio- members. ` The health officer's responsibilities are .prescribed by state statute, but generally . .inc7.ude providing consultation and assistance to the city staff and Board` of Healtr~ in the area: of communicable diseases and other public health concerns. i The .City of Richfield has traditionally retained a practicing physician to serve the city in .tike capacity of health officer. The city has paid a monthly fee of $50.00 for thi~s~ consulting service. Earlier this year, Dr, fames Trow resigned as health officer.: For the past several months we have been attempting to locate a practicing physician .who has an interest in public health and wha would be willing to assume the responsibility of health officer for the City of Richfield for,fihe nominal ` Council Letter No. 368 -4- November 22, 1976 feo of $50 per month. ,_In the course of our meetings with the City of Bloomington concerning the .purchase of-health services:, we discovered that Dr. 'W. H. Bittick ~' would be interested-im serving as health officer for the City of'Richfield. Dr. Bittick is a graduate of the University of Minnesota .Medical School and has been practicing in this area since 1957.. He has also worked with the City of Bloom- ingtan on a consulting basis with the-Bloomington Health Department. Dr. ': Bittick is well recommended by Bloomington personnel who have worked with him and his background with the .Bloomington program should assist in providing a smooth transition from the Suburban Public Health Nursing Service to the Bloomington Health Service. Therefore, it is recommended that Dr. W. H, Bittick be appointed as health officer for the. City of Richfield. Finally, it will also be-necessary for°-the council to appoint a.health advisory `, board ...Such a .board. is required by the Community Health ,Services Act which also stipulates whois to be on the health advisory"board. The board must be_ - composed of at least nine members. One=third of the members must be consumers, ~I i.e., persons who: re late to the overall health service delivery system as theyare users. of the service. One-third of the members must be providers; a provider being defined as a licensed: health professional. The remaining. persons 'on the advisory board of health may be-local'.city officials or additional consumers or providers. However, at least one member of the health advisory beard should be ~_ a' local government official.. Although the' council does .not have to appoint the members of a .health ad- • visory board at this 'time, it ~n~ill be necessary to make appointments before the end of the year, The appointments can be made for cone-year term,. from January 1, 1977 to December 31, 1977: It is recommended that the council schedule a discussion .item. for the December 13, 1976 council- meeting for tYe purpose of appointing: the health advisory .board. Ir summary„ it is recommended .that the city .council take the followirig actions: 1. Adopt the-attached resolution approving tree community health service plan and authorizefinal submission to Hennepin County. ' ~ 2. Appoint;Dr. W. H.

CITI'LEN INVOLVEMENT The primary' involvement in development of this plan was through the South Hennepin Human Services Council. In late August, .1.976, the S.H.H.S.C, organized fflur community forums in the South Hennepin Area to solicit citizen response to the Community Health Services Act. These forums accomplished a dual purpose: 1) to inform public officials _ and residents about- the purposes and provisions of the Community Health !i Services Act and its implementation in Hennepin County; and 2) to solicit comments , ideas, and suggestions from public officials and residents. con- • cerning their perception of priority health needs in their community. Siaff members from each municipality assisted in publicizing the forum and providing background materials on the Community Health Services. Act to public officials, interested citizens and community groups. In addition, newspaper articles and notices .were run in the Minneapolis Star, the Minneapolis Tribune, and the Richfield Sun. Individual letters publicizing the forums were also- sent to public officials and interested citizens as well as a variety of community organizations . An opinion questionnaire was distributed to those residents in attendance at the forum to aid in evaluating resident concerns about community health problems , The compilation of results of that questionnaire is attached.. to this plan. _ , Theforum in Richf eld was held.: on August ?.3,.1976. This forum included a presentation ex ~ laining provisions of the act, ~nd also provided the Richfield City Council an o~ portunity to hear citizen concerns and needs which should .il be addressed thro gh the Community Health Services Plan. ^ Since the public f rum, the- Richfield City Council has received an additional report from city st ff explaining the legislation in more detail and suggesting i means of impleme tation. On November 8, 1976',, the Richfield City Council authorized develo ment of a Community Health S~rvices Plan to pursue any subsidy funds for'', hich the city is eligible.. In hat action, the council . ~~ verified the need or obtaining these resources i~ order to expand the pro- vision of health s~ rvices necessary to meet those health service needs • ~, identified by Rich'. field residents. I' The Richfield Environmental Health. Director has also participated on the '. Hennepin County nvironmental Health Services Task Force, to help define and evaluate thos services to be provided through the environmental component of the ' ommunity health plan. Other 'city staff have attended numerous formal a d infcrmal meetings with othe~ local officials and health providers t evaluate the .options for services available to the City of Richfield. This plan has been prepared. to identify Richfield's health needs, and in application for a subsidy to help our city provide services to meet those. needs. The city council has reviewed the results of the Community Forums, and. has. endorsed the program of services described in this plan. In accordance with the. Community Health Services Act, an interim health service advisory committee will be appointed to insure that the services included in this plan will continue to meet the health needs of Richfield residents . ~ " B. PROBLEM STATEMENT The quality of life in the City of Richfield will diminish and. deterioriate if comprehensive public health services in environmental and personal health areas, as identified within the selected activities, are not maintained. at least at -the present level. Personal health services in the form of home nursing care and some clinic services for Richfield residents have been purchased by the City of Richfield since the early 1950's. Environmental health services were organized by the City of Richfield to supplement the. personal health services in the early 1960's. Services have since been expanded and added in accordance with the needs of the city's population, up to the level of service proposed in this plan. All. activities incl ded in this plan are eligible for funding under provisions, of the Community ealth Act. All of these activi' ies`are integrated- :.and dependent .upon o e another to-ensure the best possible services', necessary C to maintain the pr' sent 'quality of life . C. GOALS The goals shall be in keeping with the goals of the World Health Organization and constitution. More specifically, the services and programs included in this plan shall be efined and provided in accordance with the expressed' I desire of the citiz ns of the City of Richfield. ' I It is the oat of th Community Health Service activities outlined in this. • g plan to facilitate healthy environment for :physical, mental and social.. wellbeing. Throu h organized community effort, and the administration of a comprehensive program by highly trained hea{lth professionals, these services will be p ovided to create a community state of well being, not merely the absenc of disease or infirmity. i '" D. OBJECTNES To provide com of: sive public health services 'to promote the reduction 1. Air, water and noise pollution 2. Foodborne disease 3. Public health hazard ,nuisance ,..rodents and noxious weeds 4. Inadequate. and unsafe. housing conditions 5. Incidence of communicable. disease 6. Unnecessary institutionalization. 8. Health. and social problems due to undetected. treatable conditions 9. Unawareness of health information and: resources F, METHODS The City of Richfield will use the services of a wide range of professional public health workers with. the educational and experience qualifications to continue implementation. of the goals and objectives. described in the community health plan. Surveillance, maintenance, education, screening, information, referrals,. visits, clinics, and all other public health practices will be continued - and, when indicated, expanded, to ensure the health and safety of the community. The environmental and personal health .services will be coordinated in all areas to maximize efforts toward attainment of the goals and objectives . Community. health These health sere, 'finance departrnen safety emcxgency i >ervices are part of the complex total city operation.. ;es,;are complemented by supp.~l rt services of the public works. and inspections activities, public. iedical responses, and the over-all. city wide develop- -.merit of programs o promote the public good for Richfield residents . To ensure that the go' is and objectives for community health services are carried through, t e city has assigned the task of the public health program delivery to two ma'or organizational units. I Thee City of Richfi ld Environmental Health Department will continue to operate its existi g environmental health inspection and enforcement program. This de artment, first organized in 1960, has continually expanded to fill t ,e need for its services . The department. currently employes an Envir,'bnmental Health Director (Sanitarian) , and a full time Public .Health Env' onmentalist. The Comprehensive :Employment and Training. Act has p ovided the city opportunity to I,expand this department with the addition f a second full time Public He i lth Environmentalist; thus second full ti e environmentalist position is proposed to be continued I ', through the -Comm nity Health. Services Elan. '~, A contract for services is being negotiated with the City of Bloomington Public Health Div'sion to provide services in the'; area of home nursing care home health service, disease prevention, and health education. The contract with Bloomin ton will sti ulate re ortin ~ rocedures, services 5 p p g. p provided-and funds expended. By initiating this contract for service agreement with an established health agency, the City of Richfield .will be able to minimize the expensive start-up and administrative costs which might be necessary if the cify created a -new public health program, and commit our additional resources into the health care itself . The contract cost for the personal health services will be approximately. $71 , 400. This contract will provide a significantly wider range of services in the area of personal health than has previously been available to Richfield residents. As indicated, .the. environmental and personal health services rely on numerous other city activities for support and verification. The Public Safety Department, for instance,. administers quirk-response emergency medical service. -Although the emergency medical services provided by the City of Richfield Fire Division are not included in the scope. of the Community Health .Services Act, the services provided through that activity do compliment the. health programs included in this Community Health Services Plan. Similarly, the plan review and code enforcement activities of the building and inspection department. seek to ensure that the physical condition of the city is maintained in a way which will minimize health hazards and physical dangers to Richfield residents . G . EVALUATION Estimates and projections are made for service levels . Results are analyzed L_ ~ ~ to assess trends a d cost ratios.

CONIM'UNITY HEALTH SERVICES ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION Genera l The City of Richfield policy is to promote,. support and maintain the health of the entire community at the-highest level through education, disease prevention., surveillance of both environmental and personal health problems, and nursing care . A. Goals for Community Health- Services in the City of Richfield Overa l l To attain these overall goals of community health services in Richfield, the City will: 1. Prevent the onset, transmission, and adverse consequences of disease or infirmity., and promote and maintain an optimum level of health for City residents through the provision of community health services, 2. Protect and promote the public's health through control of those aspects of the environment which are responsible for, or provide a link. in,. the transmission of. disease to man. System The community health service system goals in Richfield are to establish and maintain amunicipal-county relationship which will: 1. Develop an integrated and coordinated community health system in which services will be available, accessible, acceptable, and account- -- able to all residents . i 2. Determine prl blems or conditions which are detrimental to the health and. well-bei g of City residents and devel p programs which will ~, .prevent the o currence of these problems or; identify them at early stages. I 3. Develop a sy, ternatic and effective process for allocation of state : and local re s' urces which will minimize duplication and overlap of services and assure the justification of outcomes and benefits for the physical', nd financial resources expended. 4. Develop an o going evaluation mechanism t assure efficient and effective use of resources i B. .Overall Evaluatio i The goals give th programs overall direction an' the objectives specify activities or step) which az~e necessary to achie e the goals. .The questions used to assist in citing the objectives .were; i 1. Are the objec fives realistic, given the community health services budget? 2 . Do they Iit t. e value: judgements df the City? 3. Are they prat ical aild ca~~able of being implemented? 4. Are they acc ' ptable 'fio .the people' who v~iil be implementing and -receiving the ? S . Are they mea unable ? i The methods brie, y describe how the objectives will be achieved. The evaluation compd ent is not described in detail or'each program proposal. Instead, a six level evaluation mechanism will be implemented which will be: similar for-all~the programs. The six levels .are; 1. Activity: evidence that tha program is actually being conducted; 2 . Operational: evidence. that °the program is actually delivering the services specified in the -plan; 3. Efficiency: evidence that the program is .being delivered at the most reasonable cost; examine program alternatives which may be more cost effective; 4. Effectiveness: evidence that the program objectives are being realized; 5. Outcome validity: evidence that the expected intensity and severity of the problems. addressed are being. reduced as a result of the program; 6. Overall desirability: evidence from acost-benefit analysis that the.. program is desirable for use of the community health services subsidy. I The specific activities to be undertaken in achieving these objectives . are described in more detail in the following pages .

Although .the total impact of substandard housing on health cannot be fully determined, certain parameters of unsound housing have a definite relation- ship to an individual's health status.. Many researchers believe that the irritations, frustrations, and invasions of privacy that occur in some residential environments are leading or contributing factors of mental illness. Respiratory infections, such as colds, bronchitis and influenza • - are. related to .inadequate heating or ventilation and inadequate and crowded sleeping arrangements . Digestive-tract diseases are usually related to crowding, inadequate water and sewage facilities, multiple sleeping. arrangements,, and food handling facilities. Other potential problems.. include carbon monoxide. poisoning due to faulty home heating devices:,. rodent and insect. infestation, accidents due to crowding, .poor electrical connections, poor lighting and structural problems. • B. GOAL • To minimize the public health problems associated with substandard _ multiple housing. C .

Health Agency Activity Health Education Emergency Medical HEALTH SERVICES ACTIVITY'DESCtZIPTION ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH Activity Title; ENVIRONMENTAL .POLLUTION CONTROL A. PROBLEM STATEMENT Diminished health. resulting from exposure to polluted :air, water or noise.. Air pollution is reported to be a major factor in respiratory ailments, such as lung. cancer, emphysema , chronic bronchitis , and the common cold . Data. indicates it may be a factor in heart disease and abnormal human behavior. It also causes eye irritation. Noise pollution can affect human health.. The effects fall into two over- lapping categories; consciously perceived and insidious effects. Consciously perceived effects are those recognized by the recipient or person. .They. usually have a .subjectively irritating or a nuisance character, but they are nevertheless important functionally, producing .such effects as interference. with thought processes, communication disruption, performance impairment, sleep disturbance, and general mental stress . Excessive noise can .also result in permanent hearing loss. Water has many uses; the potential threat of contaminated drinking water and polluted recreational wafters is increasing. Such facilities include public and semi-public water supplies, private wells, swimming pools, on-site sewage disposal units, stormwater discharge and cross-connections. B. GOAL To minimize the health effects attributable to air, water and noise pollution. C . OBJECTIVE To locate, identify and measure environmental. pollutants and inform industry and the general. public of technical methods for abatement. D. METHODS Public Health Environmentalists, either by complaint or observation will identify and measure environmental pollutants . Swimming pools will continue to be inspected routinely. Services supplied by the- City Health Department. Noise sources will be investigated and .measured to insure code conformance .

' :Y: COMMUNITY: HEALTH SERVICES ICI THE SOUTH HENNEPIN AREA 'ized by: The South Hennepin Human Services Council September ].5, 1976 i o SUMMARY. COMMUNITY`HEALTH-SERVICES FORUMS " "1N THE`SOUTH HENNEPIN AREA. .Background _ " Four community forums were held ~.n the-South Hennepin area in order to 1) inform` public officials and residents about the purposes and potential opportunities of the Community Health Services Act and the planning process for implementation of ttae"Act in Hennepin County; and 2) to solicit comments, ideas, and suggestions froru public-officials and residents concerning their perception of-priority health problems i.n their community. The forums were held on August 23, 1976 in Richfield and Edina, on August 30 in Bloomington, and on August 31-in Eden Prairie. Staff:members from each municipa- t lily assumed principal responsibility for publicizing their forum and for provid- 3aag background materials for public officials, interested citizens and community .groups. At each forum, Donna Andersors of the Office of Planning and Development presented a description of the Community. Health Services Act and its features, and the implications of the Act for each municipality. .Phil Riveness of the South Hennepin _ Human Services Council was present at each, .forum to encourage citizen input to the " planning process. An opinion questionnaire was distribufied to those in attendance at the forums to aid in structuring their concerns about community health problems. i• After the four forums were held, representatives of each city on the South Hennepin Human Services Council met to summarize the results. participation Attendance at the forums xanged from poor to fair depending on ones expectations. This may be due to the publicity techniques used ar to the lack of concern or understanding of the importance of tYie ~lct. The invoivernent of local decision makers was high however, because of the design of the forums. In Bloomington and Richfield the forum was a part of a regular council meeting. Thus the attendance by the City Council was 100%. In Edina a special council meeting was: convened for the forum, so once again the council [nembers Caere ail present. In Eden Prairie a special meeting was convened for the ~~ purpose of the forum and. three of the five council members were in attendance. The estimated attendance at the four forums was as follows: Bloomington 60-70 Eden Prairie 15-20 Edina 30-35 Richfield 90-100" It should be remembered that although all of those in attendance heard the pre- sentation and had'an opportunity to provide feedback, some were present for other . counc3a items and chose not to participaL-e. This was particularly true in Richfield. Yage 2 Suamar of Communit In t . The committee that met t summarize the results of thelforums felt strongly ,that they should only be view d as the, ;.concerns of those attending the forums and no.t considered the conce s of the residents of-the four cities. Thus,.. ..although the results may indicate areas that need to be thoroughly 'explored hey should not o£'themselves in an 'ay serve as the basis for developing programs :or allocating funds. - I . ' , a The questionnaire provid d.an~opportunity.£or•the_respondents to 1)"indicate their degree of concern n twenty-nine environmental and personal health areas and .2) to lst~the three~~envronmental.and personal health problems they were mosic concerned with. Th following summary is based on the first method of response.
