Re: Ordinance - Second Hand Goods Dealers
Our File No. 3188 -87031
Dear Marilyn:
I am enclosing herewith the revised so- called "pawn shop" ordinance
which I have sent, by carbon copy, to the Chief of Police and Lt.
Kirchoff for their review prior to next Tuesday evening's City
Council meeting.
As you may recall, this matter was previously before the City
Council but at the request to the City's sole pawn shop, it was
pulled from the agenda so that I could meet with the owners of the
pawn shop to discuss their concerns relating to the ordinance.
Let me begin with the observation that the City has had no
difficulty with the existing pawn shop operation and, in fact, the
chief investigator for the City of Hutchinson, Richard Waage, has
prepared a letter essentially commending the pawn shop for its
operation.
Most of the changes requested by the business operators I do not
regard as particularly substantive. In no particular order I would
advise you of the following:
1. They had substantial concerns about the detailed nature
of the license application process. The purpose for the
license application is, of course, to make certain that
no prior difficulties have been encountered elsewhere
with a particular applicant and to disclose such
information has the City may need to determine whether or
not to grant a license. I pointed out to the owners of
the present business that they are already operating a

Re: Ordinance - Second Hand Goods Dealers
Our File No. 3188 -87031
Dear Marilyn:
I am enclosing herewith the revised so- called "pawn shop" ordinance
which I have sent, by carbon copy, to the Chief of Police and Lt.
Kirchoff for their review prior to next Tuesday evening's City
Council meeting.
As you may recall, this matter was previously before the City
Council but at the request to the City's sole pawn shop, it was
pulled from the agenda so that I could meet with the owners of the
pawn shop to discuss their concerns relating to the ordinance.
Let me begin with the observation that the City has had no
difficulty with the existing pawn shop operation and, in fact, the
chief investigator for the City of Hutchinson, Richard Waage, has
prepared a letter essentially commending the pawn shop for its
operation.
Most of the changes requested by the business operators I do not
regard as particularly substantive. In no particular order I would
advise you of the following:
1. They had substantial concerns about the detailed nature
of the license application process. The purpose for the
license application is, of course, to make certain that
no prior difficulties have been encountered elsewhere
with a particular applicant and to disclose such
information has the City may need to determine whether or
not to grant a license. I pointed out to the owners of
the present business that they are already operating a

business establishment without any obvious signs of
difficulty and under the circumstances, I would have no
difficulty in recognizing the present status of their
operation and not requiring compliance with the detailed
application process. It does seem a little ridiculous to
require the existing business to submit to a detailed
investigation when they are already present and
successfully operating a business without any difficulty
and having been doing so for the last four years.
Accordingly, you will find in subd. 7 (a) I have inserted
language indicating that the license application process
governs applications submitted after January 1, 1996.
2. The ordinance as drafted requires a photographic record
of everyone submitting a firearm for sale or loan. This
was virtually the only substantive change requested by
Security in that they already deal a great deal with
business in terms of firearms and no problems have been
encountered. Taking a photograph of each person entering
the business for the purpose of pawning a firearm is a
cumbersome and time consuming process. Some communities
require such a record and others do not and in the
absence of any demonstrated need for such a photographic
record, I would recommend that we leave the requirement
out of the ordinance at the present time.
3. The ordinance as previously drafted required daily
reports to the police department. Security reports to me
that the police department actually has needed these
reports only on a weekly basis if that and therefore I
have substituted language which allows for weekly reports
or as demanded by the police department.
4. The ordinance as previously drafted requires a 30 day
holding period for items received by the licensee for
which a report is to the city policy is required and
Security has requested that the time period be made 14
days which is consistent with State law.
5. I have deleted the prior requirement that the licensee
pay for all goods bought for pawn by check. Security
pointed out that while they started out fully intending
to issue checks what they discovered is that in many
cases the item is pawned or sold after normal working
hours and the reason for pawning or selling the item, the
need for immediate cash, is defeated by a check
requirement and Security was then asked by the recipient
Ms. Marilyn

of the check if they would please hand over cash in
exchange for an endorsement on Security's check? The
point seems to be a reasonable one and I have deleted the
paragraph in question.
I thought the meeting was productive. I advised Security that the
final decision on the shape and language of the ordinance will be
made by the City Council and that I would also want the consent of
the police department as to these changes.
I am also enclosing for the Council packet a copy of Investigator
Waage's letter regarding the present operators.
Thank you. Best regards.

the licensee shall observe the ordinances of the City, in relation

which may have come into the possession of the licensee as

A. No license shall be issued until the Police
Department has conducted an investigation of the representations
set forth in the application, the applicant's moral character, and
the applicant's financial status. All applicants must cooperate
with this investigation.
B. No license shall be issued until the Council has
held a public hearing in such manner as the Council may direct. At
the public hearing all persons interested in the matter shall be
heard, and the hearing may be adjourned from time to time. No
hearing shall be required for a renewal of a license, but the
Council may, in its sole discretion, hold such a hearing.
C. After investigation and hearing, the Council
shall, at its discretion, grant or deny the application.
D. Each license shall be issued only to the
applicant and for the premises described in the application. No
license may be transferred to another person or place without
application to the Council in the same manner as an application for
a new license. Transfer of 25 percent or more of the stock of a
corporation or of a controlling interest thereof, whichever is
less, shall be deemed a transfer of the license of a corporate
licensee. If the licensee is a corporation which is wholly owned
by another corporation, the same provisions about the transfer of
a stock or a controlling interest shall apply to that parent
corporation, any second parent corporation which wholly owns the
parent corporation, and all other similarly situated parent
corporations up through the chain of ownership. Transfer of this

I am enclosing herewith a Promissory Note by and between the City
of Hutchinson and Solitra USA. This Promissory Note essentially
contemplates a line of credit between Solitra USA and Hutchinson
Community Development Corporation, but like other financial
obligations, is in the name of the City of Hutchinson.
The general terms of the Promissory Note were a part of the
economic development package that attracted Solitra to the City of
Hutchinson in 1995. This document has been sent to Solitra USA for
review by its attorneys and I would anticipate the probability of
some minor changes between now and February 13 when the matter will
be considered by the City Council. I will advise the Council of
any changes at the time of the meeting.
This particular matter should be placed on the Agenda as a
discussion item. Should you have any questions or comments in
connection with any of the foregoing, you certainly should feel
free to contact me.
Thank you. Best regards.
Very truly yours,

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 4
AND THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR TAX
INCREMENT DISTRICT NO. 4
CITY OF HUTCHINSON, MINNESOTA
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of
Hutchinson (the "City ") will hold a public hearing on proposed amendments (the
"Amendments ") to the Development Program for Development District No. 4 of
the City (the "Development District ") and the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax
Increment District No. 4 ( "Tax Increment District No. 4 ") at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday,
February 13, 1996, in the Council Chambers at the Hutchinson City Center,
Hutchinson, Minnesota.
• The proposed Amendments authorize the City to provide tax
increment financing assistance in connection with the development by Impressions,
Inc. of a new manufacturing facility in the Industrial Park in the City on land
included in the Development District and Tax Increment District No. 4. Tax
increment revenue to be used to provide such tax increment financing assistance
will be derived from Tax Increment District No. 4.
Accompanying this notice is a map showing the area included in the
Tax Increment District No. 4 which is the area from which tax increments from the

opportunity to express their views at the time of the public hearing or may file
written comments with the City Administrator prior to the public hearing.

Mr. Dick Lennes
Hutchinson Community Development Corp.
City Center Building
111 Hassan St. S.E.
Hutchinson, MN 55350
Dear Dick,
Mr. Dan Sheff asked me to respond to you regarding the importance of
TIF to our project. The Company's purpose of requesting assistance
as opposed to conventional means of financing is due to the competition,
unanticipated working capital requirements, and the additional risks
associated with outstate expansion. The Company's competitors in
neighboring states have the ability to receive favorable rates and terms.
The project will create a degree of leverage that may inhibit the
Company from receiving a line -of- credit for unanticipated working capital
requirements in the future. Finally, the Company would only consider
this project in Hutchinson with such assistance. Labor and training costs
could be considerable in comparison to expanding at their current site.
It is for these reasons the Company is asking the City of Hutchinson for
assistance. Utilization of both tax increment and the Hutchinson Fund
will enable the Company to preserve cash equity for future growth and
unanticipated training, construction start up and equipment costs.
Sincerely,
4-4 V'-k

AND TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN

CM OF HUTCHINSON, MINNESOTA
APPROVED FEBRUARY 13, 1996
-5- A,
• AMENDMENTS TO
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR
DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 4
AND TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN
FOR TAX INCREMENT DISTRICT NO, 4
A. Recitals The City of Hutchinson has pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Sections 469.124 to 469.134 (the "Development District Act "), approved a
development program and amendments thereto (the "Development Program") fot
Development District No. 4 (the "Development District ") in the City. Property
included in Development District No. 4 includes property located in the Central
Business District of the City, the shopping center located in the southern portion of
the City portions of the industrial park in the City, property adjacent to the Central
Business District of the City on which a senior housing facility is located and
property located in the southern portion of the City on which a townhouse
development is located. In order to finance the costs of the Development Program
the City has approved a Tax Increment Financing Plan and amendments thereto
(the "Financing Plan "), which establishes a tax increment financing district which
has been designated by the City as Tax Increment Financing District No. 4 ( "District
No. 4 ").
. B, nam *i ie5olnnmen# Program and Financing Plan
(i) al
n . The City amends the Development Program pursuant
to the Development District Act to authorize the City to undertake activities with
respect to the development of property located at 1050 Superior Street in the
industrial park area of the City, which property is already included in the
Development District and District No. 4. Impressions incorporated is proposing to
construct an approximately 35,000 square foot facility on such property (the
"Project "). Certain costs of the Project are proposed to be paid or reimbursed from
tax increment to be derived from District No. 4.
{ii) S a pment and Rin t*+S of Public_P_uxD45f` The City has found
that there is a need for the Project based upon the following conditions:
I. Development of property in the City requires active
promotion, attraction, encouragement and development
of economically sound industry and commerce through
government action.
2. It is found that the Project will provide employment
opportunities, improve the tax base and improve the
general economy of the City and surrounding area.
The City has previously determined to include the property on which
the Project is to be located in the Development District and District No. 4 to provide •
impetus for private development, to maintain and increase employment
opportunities, to provide infrastructure to serve citizens and employees of the City
and to provide other facilities as are outlined in the Development Program.
The City has also determined that the Project would not occur solely
through private investment in the foreseeable future, The City finds that the
welfare of the City as well as the State of Minnesota requires active promotion,
attraction, encouragement and redevelopment of economically sound industry and
commerce to carry out its stated public purpose objectives.
The City has also determined that the Financing Plan is consistent with
the Development Program; and that the Financing Plan affords maximum
opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the
development or redevelopment of the Development District by private enterprise.
(iii) Statement of Objectives The City determines that this
modification of the Development District will provide the City with the ability to
achieve certain public purpose objectives with respect to the Project not otherwise
obtainable in the foreseeable future without City intervention in the normal
development process. By providing assistance to the Project the City seeks to
achieve the following objectives of the Development Program:
1. Work cooperatively with other local organizations, the
Hutchinson Community Development Corporation and
other governmental agencies in promoting projects which
will improve the City infrastructure, increase
employment, and add to the tax base of the City.
2. Promote and secure additional employment opportunities
within the Development District, thereby improving
living standards, reducing unemployment and the loss of
skilled and unskilled labor.
3. Encourage local business expansion, improvements, and
development whenever possible.
4. Encourage and provide maximum opportunity for private
development which are compatible with the
Development Program.
(iv) Envilonmental C optjgla- It is anticipated that the development
of the Project will not present any major environmental concerns. All city actions,
-2- 0
public improvements and private development will be carried out in a manner that
. complies with applicable environmental standards_
(v) p u bli c Far;1; ±;a< t ho Constructed Public facilities constructed in
connection with the Project will be financially feasible and compatible with the
City's long range development plans. Such facilities may include street, utilities,
storm sewers and drainage improvements.
(vi) Re ocatlon The City accepts its responsibility for providing for
relocation pursuant to Section 469.133 of the Act. If relocation is necessary,
provision will be made in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Sections 117.50
through 117.56, inclusive.
(vii) "a °' °`'"' " ^^ ^f D vPlonmen District Maintenance and
operation of the public improvements is the responsibility of the administrator of
the Development District. Each year the administrator will submit to the City
Council the maintenance and operation budget for the following year. The
administrator administers the Development District pursuant to the provisions of
Section 469.131 of the Act; provided, however, that such powers may only be
exercised at the direction of the City Council. No action taken by the administrator
shall be effective without authorization by the City Council.
The City has not created and does not anticipate the need to create an
. advisory board to advise th City Council on the planning, construction or
implementation of the activities and improvements outlined in the Development
Program.
C. Am nd ent to Financing Plan
(i) Additional Expmd ,rP¢ or la 1nCremei�l i«ia +�
The City amends the Financing Plan pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections
469.174 to 469.179, to authorize the additional expenditure of up to $750,000 in tax
increment revenue derived from District No. 4 to pay or otherwise finance costs
related to the Project, including, but not limited to administrative costs of the City,
public utilities and public improvement and land preparation.
Such use of tax increment derived from District No. 4 to pay costs of
the Project as described above is hereby authorized. Such costs may be paid directly
from tax increment derived from District No. 4, or may be paid indirectly from tax
increment derived from District No. 4, by the reimbursement to the owner of the
Project of amounts paid for such costs.
'
is estimated fiscal and economic implications of the additional expenditures of tax
It
0 .3-
increment revenue derived from District No. 4 authorized by these Amendments
will be as follows: •
The local governmental units other than the City which are authorized
by law to levy ad valorem property taxes in the area where District No. 4 is located
are Independent School District No. 423, McLeod County and the Hutchinson HRA
(the local government units).
After the establishment and during the continuation of District No. 4,
as a result of the implementation of the Development Program and the
improvements in District No. 4 there has been an increase in the tax capacity of the
taxable property in District No. 4. If the tax increments derived from District No. 4
are not applied to pay the additional expenditures described herein, District No. 4
would terminate earlier than would otherwise be the case assuming ad valorem
taxes are paid with respect to the taxable property in District No. 4 in the anticipated
amounts. Upon such termination such increased tax capacity would be available for
taxation by the local governmental units. However, as a result of these
Amendments such increase in tax capacity will not be available for taxation by the
local governmental units until a later date.
(iii) DCte in ions in Original Financing P_ lan The determinations made
in the Financing Plan with respect to designation of District No. 4 as a
Redevelopment District, the impact of the establishment of District No. 4 and the
implementation and undertaking of the Development Project and the captured tax
capacity of District No. 4 are not affected by these Amendments and such
determinations remain in full force and effect following the adoption of these
Amendments.
(iv) Additional AmendMrnts to Plan The City reserves the right to
further amend or modify the Financing Plan, subject to the provisions of state law
regulating such action.

Statutes, Sections 469.124 to 469.134, inclusive, as amended, and Minnesota Statutes,
Sections 469.174 to 469.179, inclusive, as amended, in order to authorize the City to
make certain expenditures with respect to the development by Impressions
Incorporated of its approximately 35,000 square foot facility in the industrial park
area of the City.
1.02. The Council has investigated the facts and has caused to be
prepared amendments (the "Amendments ") to the Development Program (the •
"Program ") for Development District No. 4 ( "Development District No. 4 ") and to
the Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "Plan") for Tax Increment District No. 4 (the
"Tax Increment District ").
1.03. The City has performed all actions required by law to be
performed prior to the approval of the modification of the Program and
amendment of the Financing Plan by the Amendments and the approval of the
Plan, including, but not limited to, notification of McLeod County and School
District No. 423, and the holding of a public hearing upon published notice is
required by law.
Section 2. ' - '' ifi"tinn of Deve pme_nt District No. 4
and the Amendment of the _Fimnri_ngPI -n L ARdAh l e - Ap-proval of the Argndment
2.01. The Council hereby finds that the modification of Development
District No. 4 and amendment of the Financing Plans by the Amendments are
intended and, in the judgment of this Council, the effect of such actions will be, to
provide an impetus for development of property in the City, to increase
employment and otherwise promote certain public purposes and accomplish certain
objectives as specified in the Program as amended by the Amendments.
A
• 2.02. The Council further finds that the proposed development, in the
opinion of the Council, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through
private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and, therefor, the use
that the Financing Plan conforms to
of tax increment financing is deemed necessary,
the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the City as a whole; and
that the Financing plan will afford maximum opportunity consistent with the
sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development of Development District
No. 4 by private enterprise.
2.03. The Council further finds, declares and determines that the City
made the above findings stated in Section 2 and has set forth the reasons and
supporting facts for each determination in writing, attached hereto as Exhibit A.
3.01. The Amendments are hereby approved and adopted, and shall be
placed on file in the office of the City Administrator.
3.02. The City staff, the City's advisors and legal counsel are authorized
and directed to proceed with the implementation of the Program as amended by the
Amendments and for this purpose to negotiate, draft, prepare and present this
Council for its consideration all further plans, resolutions, documents and contracts
necessary for this purpose.

EXHIBIT A
TO
RESOLUTION NO.
The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the
Amendments to Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment District No. 4 as
re uired pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, subdivision 3 are as
follows:
I. Finding that the Tax Increment District No. 4 is a redevelopment
district as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, subd.10.
The City has previously found that Tax Increment District No. 4 is a
redevelopment district and such finding is not affected by the Amendments.
2. Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the
Council., would not occur solely through private investment within the reasonably
foreseeable future and, therefore, the use of tax increment financing is deemed
necessary.
Due to the high cost of developing the property by Impressions
Incorporated, the proposed development is only economically feasible through the
use of tax increment financing assistance.
3. Finding that the Financing Plan conforms to the general plan for
the development or redevelopment of the municipality as a whole.
The site is appropriately zoned for the use proposed by Impressions
Incorporated. The Financing Plan has previously been reviewed by the Planning
Commission and has been found to conform to the general development plan of
the City.
4. Finding that the Financing Plan will afford maximum
opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the
development of Development District No. 4 by private enterprise.
The tax increment assistance authorized by the Amendments will
result in the development of industrial property in the City by a private landowner.

Recommendations To City Council
Re: Impressions Incorporated
From: HCDC Finance Team and HCDC Board of Directors
February 13, 1996
1. Approve the sale of approximately eight acres of City -owned land in the Industrial Park
(1050 Superior Avenue) for its appraised value of $6,000 per acre to Impressions Incorpo-
rated using the City and HCDC approved land writedown formula.
10 -year deferred loan (as per policy) $32,000
10 -year 6% loan to Impressions. $16,000
Approx, eight acres @ $6,000 per acre $48,000
2. Approve the use of $250,000 in Tax Increment capture to be used for Impressions Incorpo-
rated expansion of their St. Paul plant in the Hutchinson Industrial Park at 1050 Superior
Avenue.
City Administrative 10% Approximately $ 25,000
Infrastructure Approximately 90,000
Land Preparation Approximately 135.000
Maximum $250,000
3. Approve all assessments for infrastructure not covered by Tax Increment Incentive (approxi-
mately $82,000) be fixed at a rate not to exceed 6% interest per year for 10 years.
4. Authorize the deposit of $25,000 to each of four Hutchinson financial institutions from the
Hutchinson Economic Development Fund to be used as a pledge for bank financing of
$100,000 to Impressions Incorporated. Bank financing of $100,000 will then qualify as
leverage for a $100,000 match from southwest Minnesota Initiative Fund.

EXPLANATION OF IMPRESSIONS INCORP PROPOSAL
January 22, 1996
. TAX INCREMENT INCENTNE: $210,000
Assuming the CountN Assessor's projected tax of $37.400, the Industrial Park Tax increment
usable capture would be close to 5250,000
HurCHtNsoN EcoNoMtc D EVELOPMENT LOAN FuND/SWMIF:
$200,000
In the Economic Development Loan Fund the City has in excess of $100,000 uncommitted.
HCDC will guarantee a loan for S 100,000 issued by the four Hutchinson Banks to Impressions at
6.75 %. If Southwest Minnesota Initiative Fund will match this amount, we will be able to generate
$200,000 at 6.75% as requested.
Ecoww REcovERY FuND:
0
This is a competitive grant program through the Minnesota Department of Trade and Eco-
nomic Development. The New Dimension Plating, Inc financing was acquired in this manner. Larson,
Allen, Weishair & Co. has been working with HCDC to prepare Part l of the application The State
money becomes available on April 1, 1996 and again on July 1, 1996. It is essential the grant request
be submitted as soon as possible. When the City receives the grant, the money would be flow - through
money to the City of Hutchinson The City of Hutchinson would then loan the $200,000 to Impres-
sions Incorporated at 2 %. HCDC would administer the loan as was done with New Dimension Plating,
Inc.
The benefit to Hutchinson is that the first $100,000 paid back from the loan can be kept by
Hutchinson to recirculate in the form of future loans.
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BONDS:
All preparation and underwriter costs are the responsibility of Impressions Incorporated The
Minnesota Agriculture and Economic Development board will be the issuer of the bonds. This will
result in the bonds being eligible as tax exempt to the bond buyers. However, the Minnesota Finance
Department has only approved $5,195,000 because the requests exceeded their allocation limit. The
shortfall of $805,000 will have to made up with other financing and/or the delay of equipment pur-
chases.
EcurrY:
Equity contributed by Impressions Incorporated is a cash contribution to the project.

Re: Bluff Street Bridge Project (Simonson Lumber)
Our File No. 3244 -95079
Dear Marilyn:
C J
I am enclosing herewith the revised Site Purchase Agreement which
reflects changes requested by Attorney Meyers who represents the
interests of Simonson Lumber. The changes were not particularly
material and include deletion of references to the friendly
condemnation, inclusion of language conveying the property in fee
from Simonson to the City, proration of taxes to the date of
closing and correction of some minor typographical errors.
Additionally, we discussed the disposition of the triangular shaped
parcel of land and I suggested, and I understand Simonson's is
willing to agree to, that a right of first refusal be granted to
Simonson's for this parcel. They appear to be the only practical
candidate for purchasing this land, but this puts off to another
day the question of what the price of the land should be and
whether the City has any potential use for it.
Should you have any questions regarding the changes to this
agreement, please advise. Thank you. Best personal regards.
Very truly
ARNOLD, 4WRION L#IDOIE/ P.L.L.P.

My recommendation is that Plowman Ford, Hutchinson, MN, be awarded the Contract to supply
one (1) new 1996, 4 -wheel drive, 4 -door, 5 passenger Utility Vehicle, per specifications, to the
City of Hutchinson, and that the City trade -ij the 1986 Jeep Comanche Pickup with topper at this
time, for a Net Bid of $21,676.00 after trade. I based my recommendation on the fact that
Plowman Ford is the low bidder by $182.16.
The replacement of this vehicle was approved in the 1996 Budget, and will be assigned to the
Wastewater Department.

Dear Mayor Marlin Torgerson and
Hutchinson City Council,
R "CEIVED
JAN 3 1 1996
CITY OF HUTCHINSON
I'm writing to update you on our progress regarding the project of adding
dehumidification equipment to the Hutchinson Civic Arena to allow for summer ice.
Our Committee, Family Pledge For Summer Ice has been growing steadily. We now
have seventy -eight pledges from families that use the facility. This gives us a total of
$15,600.00 raised at this point. We hope to be ordering the equipment in February, so
that we can have everything ready for the summer 1996.
Plans are also underway for summer skating programs for both figure and hockey
skaters. Our projected summer ice program will be four weeks in length starting July
22, 1996.
If you have any questions, please call me.

PRACTICAL TECHNOLOGY
E lira -irate Fcg — Eftend &e Peason
Vision -obscuring fog, which occurs when outdoor tem-
peratures rise. can pose a dangerous threat to skaters as
well as an annoyance to spectators. A Munters IceAire
system removes huge amounts of moisture from the air.
which will ensure fog -free conditions nearly year round.
A cid Costly Building ,4: cairn
Arena operators must often repaint roofing. ceiling sup-
ports and even entire roof systems because of condensed
moisture leading to rot, corrosion and decay, The IceAire
system will eliminate these costly maintenance problems.
_C F ergy C
Because the Munters IceAire system eliminates moisture
build -up on the surface of the ice, surface condensation
no longer must be frozen through several Inches of ice.
The refrigeration system will therefore run at its optimum
efficiency. saving thousands of dollars in energy costs.
lmprove,'ce Qualitf
Once. outdoor weathercondc cns controlled the quality of
indoor ice. Now the Munters IceAire system creates a
Winter -like environment nearly any time cf the year, so
skaters can enjoy optimal ice skating conditions even
during the warmer seasons.
Reduce %at°r CCnJL: ct.on
As the Munters IceAire System reduces humidity, it also
reduces condenser water corn ,imption, Since the refrig-
eration system is no longer struggling to freeze ccn-
densed moisture, energy and water are saved.
h�1rcT° iL]L'S7y C'dC-�
High relative humidities and condensation can cause
unpleasant odors which can de annoying and uncomfcrt-
aole for skaters and spectators. The IceAire system
dehumidifies the air, promoting a healthy, fresh indoor
environment, that can turn complaints into compliments.

Excessive humidity is a common problem in indoor ice rinks. Humidity causes fog,
condensation on the ice, musty, unpleasant odors, mildew, and rust, which leads to
structural decay. The Munters DryCoi IceAire dehumidification system removes
moisture from the air, thus eliminating indoor humidity and all of its associated problems.
°s-
STANDARD INDUSTRY TECHNOLOGY
Conventional systems. even those
which include refrigeration
dehumdifiers, do little to reduce hu-
midity inside an Ice arena. At best,
these systems can maintain relative
humidities of 65 °oat55'F. Thlsmeans
water will condense on ;he ice, requir-
ing refreezing. This inefficiency strains
your equipment. and drives up your
energy costs. Your ice can become
slushy. vision - obscuring fog forms,
and mosture condensing on mterior
surfaces causes decay of your build -
Ing structure.
CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY
At the neart of the IceAire System is
the HoneyCombeg eesiccant
wheel, This dehumidifying wheel
acts like a sporge, aosorbidg mOls-
lure from the air. There are no
frozen coils and no condersahon.
IceA re dries 're ax so ceeply that
the arena humrldity will remain as
low as 20 -30 during �roccupied
hours. Atthese levels. condensa-
tion on the Ice is so minor that the
ice stays hard and your refrigeration
system can operate at maximum
efficiency, saving energy dollars.

Re: Youth Access to Tobacco
Date: February 1, 1996
TO

16112344240
Y.01
On Tuesday, January 30, the Commerce Committee of the Minnesota House of
Representatives passed a youth access to tobacco bill that has severe ramifications on
the ability of your city to act on this issue locally. The bill, authored by Representative
Loren Jennings, sets very minimum standards for limiting youth access to tobacco in the
state. Unfortunately, it also prohibits local communities from ever passing ordinances
that are stronger than these minimum standards.
Your community has already addressed.the issue of youth access to tobacco in some
• way. At some point, you or residents in your community may be interested in revisiting
the issue. Representative Jenning's bill, if passed as written, will eliminate the
ability of your city to ever strengthen the tobacco ordinance you currently have in
place. We encourage your involvement in stopping the Legislature from tying the hands
of your city on this issue. .
Last year, the Minnesota Senate passed a strong youth access bill (S.F. 558) without the
Temp provision. We strongly support the original language of that bill. The bill
that passed out of the House Commerce Committee on Tuesday 1s referred to as Senate
File 558 with House language. This bill is expected to be heard on the House floor in the
middle of next week.
We believe that local officials have a powerful voice in sending the "No Preemption"
message to legislators. Please inform your mayor and city council members about
Representative Jeiutings' proposal and encourage them to write or call your local
legislator. It is important for legislators to know that officials in their community do not
want their power to act on this issue taken away. 8nclosed please find talking points
and a copy of the testimony delivered at the committee meeting by Karen Anderson, the
President of the League of Minnesota Cities.
I appreciate your willingness to act on this quickly. Legislators should be contacted no
later than Tuesday, February 6. Your support will help to preserve the right of your
community to keep tobacco out of the hands of kids.
It's Time We Clear The Air.

SUPPORT A TOBACCO LICENSING BILL
THAT PRESERVES LOCAL POWERS
Oppose Preemption
• More acids are smoking. Smoking among Minnesota ninth graders is up 50 since 1992.
Almost 40% of our high school seniors smoke every month - far more than the national
average.
• It's too easy for kids to get tobacco. Without strong licensing laws, kids are able to buy
tobacco illegally as much as two- thirds of the time. Everywhere strong ordinances are enacted,
compliance with the law increases. For example, with a strong ordinance, St. Paul's violation
rate went from 80% in 1993 to 8% in 1995.
• Cities like Litchfield, Fergus Falls, St. Cloud, and Shoreview are addressing this problem
.with innovative ordinances that are already working. Officials in other cities, like Stillwater,
Plymouth, Bemidji, and Hopkins are considering possible new laws.
• We need a state law that respects these local initiatives while guaranteeing a floor of protection
for all Minnesota children. Current law holds everyone accountable except the store that makes
an illegal sale: the clerk can be fined; the minor can be fined; and even an adult who ggives
cigarettes to a minor can be fined. Bring the store into the circle of responsibility . S.F.558,
ws passed by the Senate, does this. It creates a licensing and penalty system, but preserves th
power of each community to decide whether it chooses to do more.
The tobacco and retail industries hope to strip local communities of their power to address this
problem. Tobacco companies have campaigned across the nation for preemption of cities'
power to control tobacco, because most tobacco control ideas begin at the local level. So far,
they have succeeded in limiting local control in twenty-six states. Please oppose their efforts
here. Language which "grandfathers in" exisiting ordinances is also preemptive because it
blocks the ability of cities that have ordinances from any stronger control they may choose to
consider in the future. Preserve the power of our cities to adopt pioneering laws like White
Bear Lake's first -in- the - nation -ban on cigarette vending machines or Chanhassen's first -in-
the- nation requirement that tobacco be placed behind the counter where it cannot be shoplifted.
Oppose House language of Senate File 558 that preempts cities' ability to adopt stronger
tobacco control ordinances if they choose to do so.

TesUmuny of Mayor Karen Anderson, Minnetonka, President of the League of Minna nta
Chios on S.F. 5", a bill regulating tobacco prYxhrcts.
Rmise Convuerve Committee, January 30, 1996.
OoW afternoon, my naLur is Karen Anderson. I am the mayor of Mionetonlat and the
President of the League of Minnesota Cities. NU message to you today iA; lkrn't silence
cities by pre -c upUng our ability to adopt more stringent regulations regarding tobacco
prodncfs. If there is one seutiuwuL on which the 611 cities who are members of the
League of Minnesota Cities would all agree, it's the need to retain local authority and
control over issues that are truly local.
Tlw language of Senate Fite 558 evolved after consultation with city and county otfriews.
and reflects broad agreement over how tobacco licensing should be handled. io tint bill
cities arc given the oMinn of licensing, and counties agrmd to license and inspect In
• unincnrlrotn(al areas, as well as in cities which choose not to tieense. Most importantly,
cities that want to restrict the manner of soiling tobacco in some other way than
contemplated by state law are permitted to do so.
The amendment offered today removes oppottunitics for those local options.
We have heard concerits tbat cities will adopt outrageous restrictions. Our experience in
Mitwesula shows that is not the cabs. When adopted locally, these ordinances arc subject
to extensive discussion, public hearings, and scrutiny by many community interests. City
councils arc acutely aware of the need to bah,uce the interests of local chimes and local
businesses when adupting these kind of ordinances.
The tobacco interests say that local variation make, it dimcult to ego btMiness. In fact they
already deal wifh many, Many vaxUtlovs in ordinances across cities, and they seem to
Manage just bael zoning, outdoor lighting restrictions, sign requirements, parking
regulations, and snowplowing practices arc examples of variations in r.iry laws tlurt affect

similar to tobacco, is subject to many local variations in where and how it is sold and what 46
Penalties are applied to those who sell to minors. Minnesota statutes specifically state that
A local authority may impose further restrictions and regulations on the sale of alcoholic
beverages." The fact is that with tobacco, as with many products and situations, different
measures work in different cities.
Many cities have adopted local restrictions on how tobacco is sold by local merchants (not
national tobacco companies), and many more are working through this process right now.
More than 30 cities, including Minnetonka, have decided for ourselves what restrictions
make sense in our communities. We have a strong tradition of local control in Minnesota.
Please don't erode or pre -empt that local control today.

RE: Eminent Domain Matters (Lynn Road Issues)
Our File No. 3188 -93252
Dear Gary:

HUTCHINSON, MINNESOTA 55350
(612) 587 -7575
FAX (612) 587 -4096
You may recall that on several occasions the council has discussed issues relating to access
from Lynn Road to Minnesota State Highway 15. At least one property owner in the area has,
from time to time, hinted that litigation over the city's alleged wrongful failure to provide more
access might be a possibility. In fact, with regard to the particular property owner in question
I can advise you that I did receive telephone contact from an attorney purporting to represent
the property owner although nothing has come of that contact which occurred some months
ago.
I provide this background to the council because I thought that both yourself and the council
would find the decision of the Court of Appeals in the matter County of Anoka v. Maego, Inc.
to be of interest. This decision appeared in Finance and Commerce on January 5, 1996 and,
while not identical to the fax involved in the Lynn Road matter, is similar enough to make
litigation by Lynn Road property owners unlikely or at least it sends a very clear signal that
such litigation would have to overcome a number of hurdles to be successful.
46
It is my present opinion that the city need not be concerned to any significant degree about the
possibility of litigation from Lynn Road property owners and the basis for my opinion is
strengthened by this decision.

SYLLABUS I \
To determine whether the termination of employment is volunta, for
good cause attributable to an employer, thus avoiding disqualification for
reemployment benefits, in a case where an employee quits his job due to
a demotion but the employer proves that the demotion was based on an
accurate assessment of the employee's job skills, the fact -finder must
determine the reasonableness of the employee's choice to quit, taking into
account all of the facts bearing on his demotion, including the loss of
wages, the extent of change of job dudes, the reasonable career expectan-
cies of the employee because of his tenure with this or other employers,
and the employee's remaining chances for advancement after the demo-
tion.
Reversed and remanded.

OPINION
CRIPPEN, Judge (Department of Economic Security)
The Commissioner's representative found that respondent Corey Cook
quit his job for good cause attributable to relator Playworks, his employ.
er, thus qualifying respondent for reemployment compensation benefits
pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 268.09 (1994). Relator employer contends that
this finding erroneously disregards evidence and findings that the respon-
dent, who quit due to a demotion and an accompanying pay cut, was
given the new job assignment because of his inability to adequately per-
form in his previous position. We reverse and remand, concluding that the
Commissioner's representative applied an unduly narrow standard to
decide the question of good cause.
FACTS
Respondent worked full -time for relator, a large childcare and family
entertainment center, from September 6, 1994, through December 36,
1994, when he voluntarily quit his employment.
Relator originally hired respondent as an entertainment manager at a
yearly salary of $27,040. Approximately two weeks after his hiring,
respondent was demoted to the position of entertainment coordinator,
with a yearly salary of S24,�76, because of inadequate job performance.
As entertainment coordinator, respondent again failed to complete many
of his assigned job duties. Respondent was counseled on various occa-
sions concerning his,eficient job performance; he expressed a desire to
improve his wor and during the latter portion of his employment
enrolled in se rat training courses at the suggestion of relator.
Respond ' ent's performance improved in some areas but remained defi-
cient in oth . Relator concluded that respondent was not capable of per-
forming a anagement position because of his lack of skills and mo[iva -
X then advised respondent that he would be demoted to the posi-
sistant teacher at a yearly salary of $17,304.
respondent expressed concern about the lower pay, relator
respondent that he could possibly return to the position of enter-
tainment coordinator if he enrolled in sufficient education courses and
improved his job performance. Respondent was also advised that he
could obtain a job as a lead teacher by earning several additional educa-
tional credits. On December 30, 1994, respondent quit.
Respondent sough( reemployment insurance benefits from the Minnesota
Department of Economic Security. Reversing a department judge after
review of the record, the Commissioner's representative hold that respon-
dent was not disqualified from receiving reemployment insurance benefits,
finding that respondent voluntarily discontinued employment with good
cause attributable to relator because of substantial reductions in pay.
ISSUE
When an employee is demoted based on a skills assessment found to be
credible, is the employee's choice to quit reasonable because of a sub-
stantial reduction in the employee's pay?
ANALYSIS
Th uestion of whether an employee voluntarily terminated employ-
ment wi good cause attributable to an employer is a question of law that
may be in ndently reviewed. Wood v. Menard, Inc., 490 N.W.2d
441, 443 (Mi App. 1992). Similarly, whether the Commissioner's find-
ings support a de ination of misconduct is a question of law subject to
de novo review. Ch v. American Nat'l. Ins., 426 N.W.2d 475, 477
(Minn. App. 1988).
The reemployment i rance system is intended to benefit indi-
viduals who become one toyed through "no fault of their own."
Minn. Star. § 268.03 (199 Reemployment insurance statutes
are remedial and must be interp red liberally in favor of awarding
benefits. Smith v. Employers' O oad Co., 314 N.W.2d 220,
221 -22 (Minn. 1981). A claimant is disqualified for reemploy-
ment insurance benefits if the claimant voluntarily terminates
employment without good cause attributable to the employer or if
the claimant is discharged for misconduct. Minn. Star. § 268.09,
subd. 1 (a), (b) (1994). The parties agree that respondent's termi-
nation from relator was voluntary.
"Good cause" to quit has been defined as a reason that is "real, not
imaginary, substantial not trifling, and reasonable, not whimsical; there
must be some compulsion produced by extraneous and necessitous cir-
cumstances." Ferguson v. Department of Employment Serv., 311
Minn. 34, 44 n.5, 247 N.W.2d 895, 900 n.5 (1976). The standard is "rea-
sonableness as applied to the average man or woman, and not to the
supersensitive • • *!'Id.
A substantial reduction in wages may provide an employee with good
cause to quit.l
1 Further, an employee may have good cause to quit it the employer demotes the
employee to a position that requires substantially less skill. See Marty v. Dlgita:
Equip. Corp., 345 N.W.2d 713, 775 (Minn. 1984) (demotion to interior position with

Scott v. Photo Ctr., Inc., 306 Minn. 535, 536, 235 N.W.2d 616, 617
(1975) (25 percent reduction in wages resulting from switch to commis-
sion from fixed salary established good cause for quitting); McBride v.
LeVasseur, 341 N.W2d 299, 300 (Minn. App. 1983) (30 percent reduc-
tion in pay resulting from change to hourly pay rate from monthly salary
established good cause for quitting). in Sunstar Foods, Inc. Y.
Uhlendorf, the Minnesota Supreme Court affirmed a determination that a
unilateral reduction in wages of 21 -26 percent was unreasonable, justify-
ing the payment of unemployment compensation benefits to striking meat
packing plant employees. Sunstar Foods, 310 N.W.2d 80, 85 (Minn.
1981). These rases support the "general rule that a substantial pay reduce
lion gives an employee good cause for quitting." Scott, 306 Minn. at 536,
235 N.W.2d at 617.
The preceding authorities deal with an employer's unilateral pay cut,
not with a demotion and an accompanying salary reduction for unsatis-
factory job performance. In determining whether a voluntary termination
is for good muse, the relative reasonableness of the employer is not rele-
vant. Holbrook v. Minnesota Museum of Art, 405 N.W.2d 537, 540
(Minn. App. 1987). But the employee may not have good cause to refuse
a justifiable demotion. This court discussed the latter situation in Dachel
v. Ortho Met, Inc„ which involved an employee who incurred a pay cut
of approximately 10 percent because of a demotion based on the employ-
er's dissatisfaction with the quality of the employee's work. Dachel, 528
N.W.2d 268, 270-71 (Minn. App. 1995). We did not find the employee's
pay cut substantial enough under Sunstar Foods to justify the payment of
reemployment compensation. Id. at 270. But we also held that an
employee lacks good cause to quit when "the average, reasonable person,
when faced with a similar choice, would have chosen to remain
employed." Id. at 271 (citing Ferguson, 311 Minn. at 44, n. 5, 247
N.W.2d at 900, n.5). In the immediate case, unlike Dachel, the
Commissioner's representative found good cause because respondent's
pay was reduced from a yearly salary of $27,040 to a yearly salary of
$17,304 in four months, a 36 pdroent decrease and a reduction greater
than the 21 -26 percent standard set in Sunstar Foods. Sunstar Foods,
310 N.W2d at 84.
Nevertheless, because these changes were shown to be justified on the
basis of the employee's skills, the case presents the issue of cause to quit
that was addressed in Dachel.
Relator calls for an even more restrictive approach, a determination that
it is necessarily unreasonable and unjustified to quit employment where
the employer has made a demotion based on an honest assessment of a
person's job skills. Relator defends its position by pointing to undisputed
facts that it showed unusual restraint in protecting respondent's job and
attempting to place him in appropriate positions. We conclude that neither
Sunstar Foods nor Dachel provides a bright line rule that governs a case
of this kind. A severe decrease in wages may not justify a choice to quit
when the employer has made a demotion after honestly assessing an
employee's skills, but it does not follow that an employee's choice to quit
is unreasonable in every case of this kind.
The Commissioner must determine the reasonableness of an employ-
ee's action considering all relevant circumstances which include loss of
wages, the extent of the change of job duties, the reasonable career
expectancies of the employee because of tenure with this or other
employers, and the employee's remaining chances for advancement after
the demotion.
2 Tbe Commissioner argues that the reasonableness of an employers position should
not determine the good cause of the employee in choosing to quit That proposdion,
trowww, does not waend to the unique pmbtem of an employers assessment of an
employ s luli; t he subject mans of Dache and this case.
Finally, we note that a rigid concern for causative factors attributable to
an employee, independent of a broader assessment of an employee's
cause for quitting, is only appropriate where an employee's behavior rises
to the level of misconduct. See Goodwin v. BPS Guard Services, Inc.,
FINANCE AND COMMERCE AP rAn COURTS EDMON
524 N.W2d 28, 29 (Minn. App. 1994) (holding an employee quits
employment without good cause attributable to the employer when the
employer demotes the employee instead of firing the employee for mis-
conduct). The issue is not so limited in this case, because we concur with
the Commissioner's representative's finding that respondent was not
demoted for misconduct.

DECISION
Where respondent Cook experienced a demotion and accompanying
pay cut due to inadequate job performance, the Commissioner's rcpicsen-
tative erred by concluding that respondent had good cause to quit without
considering other circumstances bearing on respondent's demotion and
pay decrease, such as his reasonable career expectancies and his remain-
ing opportunities for advancement. We remand for a redetermination of
the case consistent with the standard announced in this opinion.
Reversed and remanded
DAVIES, Judge, (dissenting)
I respectfully dissent. Respondent Cook was demoted and his salary
was reduced, in two steps, from $27,040 to $17,304, a reduction of 36
percent. A demotion of this magnitude should in almost all cases be treat-
ed, as a matter of law, as justification for a voluntary quit, and the
employee ought not be disqualified from reemployment benefits. Any
other result opens the door to employer conduct —demotion, rather than
discharge —that would make administration of the reemployment system
impossibly difficult.
I agree that Cook may have been ill- advised in leaving a position that
we might think matcbed his abilities, especially when the employer
appears to have treated him sympathetically throughout the employment,
Nonetheless, I am unwilling to second -guess Cook —and the commis -
sioner —to arrive at that conclusion.
After a 36 percent reduction in pay, the voluntary quit here should be
held as a matter of law to have been with good cause attributable to the
employer. To rule otherwise requires the department to make expensive
inquiries and subtle judgments beyond its capacity and resources —and
certainly beyond the capacity of this court.

addition, property was taken to raise the frontage road 21 feet. Id. at 558.
Because this frontage road obstructed the traveling public's view of the
property from the new highway, loss of visibility evidence was held to be
admissible because the obstruction was caused by changes on the
landowner's property. Id. at 561.
We agree with the district court that Strom is distinguishable. The
Strom court tied the admissibility of evidence for severance damages to
physical changes to the property itself. Minnesota law has traditionally
recognized property interests in air, view, and light. See Id. at 558
ing Minn. Stat- §160.08, subd. 5 (1986) ). In the instant cases, however,
diminished accessibility does not relate to the physical condition of the
property, but solely to a median constructed away from the property.
There is no property right to the continuous flow of traffic past one's
property. Recke, 298 Minn. at 504, 215 N.W.2d at 788.
The question becomes whether evidence of diminished accessibility is
relevant to severance damages. Any evidence that makes a material fact
more or less probable is relevant. Minn. R. Evid. 401. Evidence of dimin-
ished accessibility relates to the change in fair market value, so it is rele-
vant under this rule. However, "[ajlthough relevant, evidence may be
excluded if its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger
of '•' confusion of the issues, or misleading the jury" Minn. R. Evid.
403. The determination to
admit or exclude evidence rests within the broad discretion of the
trial court and its ruling will not be disturbed unless it is based on
an erroneous view of the law or constitutes an abuse of discretion.
Uselman v. Uselman, 464 N.W.2d 130, 138 (Minn. 1990).
The district court determined that if the property owners were allowed
to introduce the proffered evidence, the jury would likely infer that the
diminished access itself was a eompensable injury. `Admission of evi-
dence for non- compensable damages can give rise to an inference that
those claims are compensable." Strom, 493 N.W.2d at 565
(Tomljanovich, J., dissenting). We agree with the district court that evi-
dence of diminished accessibility would confuse and mislead the jury.
Even given proper jury instructions, jurors would have difficulty making
a distinction between a noncompensable injury and a factor to be consid-
ered in determining severance damages. Thus, in cases such as those
presently before us, evidence of diminished accessibility is inadmissible
because the probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of
misleading and confusing the jury. Admitting such evidence, even for a
limited purpose, would consume the rule that limiting access to one direc-
tion is noncompensable. -
We hold that loss of access in one direction is not compensable and that
evidence of diminished accessibility is inadmissible to prove severance
damages.

We affirm partial summary judgment in favor of the County.

FACTS
On July 20, 1993, after dinner and a marijuana joint, Tuan Van Ha hired
a woman prostitute and brought her to his home. He disrobed. While Ha
was naked, the woman grabbed his wallet and ran. He pulled on his pants,
got his rifle, drove the stmets hunting for her, and eventually found her.
When he demanded the return of his wallet, she threw a wad of dollar
bills at him, swore, turned her back, and walked away
Ha then unlocked the trunk of his car, seized a pistol, chased the prosti-
tute, and unloaded the weapon at her, hitti ng her in the head and back.
She died shortly thereafter. Ha fled but was quickly apprehended. Ha
freely admits shooting the woman. Ha was ce
In 1975, while an officer in the South Vietnamese army, p
tured, imprisoned, beaten, and tortured. After his release, he escaped
Vietnam and eventually emigrated to Minnesota in 1980. By all accounts,
Ha is a quiet, intelligent man who has been a responsible and productive
member of society since his emigration.
In the first phase of his August 1994 murder trial, a 12- member jury
found Ha guilty of first- degree murder, pursuant to Minn. Stat. §
guilty by reaon mental il pursuant to Minn. same Stat. §611.O
(1992). attorney
Pursuant to Minn.. Slat. § 253B the coon .07, subd. 2 (1994), Y y
brought a petition for Ha's commitment as mentally ill and dangerous to
the public. On October 13, 1994, the trial court conducted an initial hear-
ing pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 253.18, subd. 1 (1994). Based on Ha's med-
ical records and a report from th court- appointed examiner, Dr. Thomas
Folsom, diagnosing Ha as suffering from post - traumatic stress disorder,
the trial court adjudicated Ha mentally ill and dangerous. Because there
was no suitable alternative disposition, the court ordered Ha's commit-
ment to the Minnesota Security Hospital.
At a second hearing, held in stages from January 26 to April 6, 1995, to
determine if Ha continued to be mentally ill and dangerous, both the
Clinical Director of the Minnesota Security Hospital and
ogist testified that they were unable to diagnose aay mental diseterwar-
ranting Ha's continued confinement and treatment. In fact, Dr.
Farnsworth, the clinical director, testified that, in nearly 10 years of
employment with the Minnesota Security Hospital, this was the first time
in which
a person was found guilty by reason of insanity, has been sent to
us, and we find no evidence of a mental disorder.
(Emphasis added.)
In contrast, Dr. Folsom, the court examiner, testified that he diagnosed
Ha as suffering from atypical dissociative disorder caused by post -trau-
matic stress disorder. Dr. Folsom testified that, as a psychiatrist and psy-
choanalyst, he is trained to detect subtle mental disturbances. He testified
Ha had stated he was not in charge of himself during the murder and did
not know what he was doing. Dr. Folsom testified that Ha's becoming so
enraged over the theft of his wallet that he could not reason was an indi-
cation of dissociation. He testified that between dissociative episodes, a
person can be totally aware and normal. Dr. Folsom stated that the e'
explanation. for Ha's atypical behavior is mental illness.
The trial court found Dr. Folsom's diagnosis to be clear and convinem

FROM: JofiJarmlik
Sr. Intergovernmental Relations Representative
RJE: Action Alert/Press Conference on Tobacco
Issue One: Tobacco
P.1
The House is expected to vote on its version of Senate File 585 a bill which, in its House
version, mandates cities to license and inspect all sellers of tobacco products. The bill would
also pre -empt any other local regulation regarding the sale of tobacco products. Although
existing regulations would be "grandfathered," new or revised city ordinances which regulate
door displays, limit self- serve, require age verification, or impose any other local regulation
would be prohibited.
The League prefers that the legislature pass the Senate version of the bill which in contrast
to the House version, softens the mandate by allowing cities to transfer licensing responsibility
to the counties, and allows more stringent local regulations than the base state requirements.
(It has no mandate and no pre -emption.)
Please contact your representative regarding this issue, Tell them to support passage of the
Senate version of the bill, and oppose the House version. We also encourage Additional city ffs gals to
attend a press conference regarding this matter on Thursday, February
information regarding the press conference accompanies this action alert.

Section 4 of House File 2590, which was passed by the House Commerce Committee on
Tuesday, February 13, would limit local on -sale liquor license fees. C The tl 1 would 1 mit the
