INTRODUCTION P WIN BORDEN
Our speaker today is Win Borden, President of the Minnesota Chamber
of Commerce and Industry (formerly MACI). The Minnesota Chamber of
Commerce and Industry is the state's argest business and lobby orga-
nization. As such, it lobbies the state legislature, the governor, and
the executive branch of state governm nt on taxes, unemployment compen-
sation, workers' compensation, energy and environmental matters, as well
as other issues of concern. The Cham er also makes frequent appearances
in court on those issues to present t e business perspective.

CONSIDERATION OF WRIGHTCO'S WATER AND SEWER FLOW/RATE
INFORMATION.
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUN '.
Mr. Bob Harris' secretary ~elephoned me this morning that
Mr Harris left town on bus !ness, therefore, will be
unable to attend the IDC meeting. The Wrightco water
and sewer flow/rate has be n researched and will be
typed for the next month's agenda.

6. CONSIDERATION FOR THE CITY OF MONTICELLO TO PROCEED WITH
INTEREST AS POSSIBLE HOST OMMUNITY FOR THE LOW-LEVEL
RADIOACTIVE WASTE FACILITY
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROU D.
The process and benefits t the host community and state
for the low-level radioact ve waste facility were outlined
in your last IDC agenda. s indicated, Monticello expressed
interest through a "letter of inquiry" mailed in January.
I attended a State Legisla ive Advisory Committee Hearing
on March 10, 1987. The Mi west Compact Commissioner Thomas
Kalitowski reported of the seven regional states: Minnesota,
Michigan, Ohio, and Wiscon in were identified as the four
states for further cons ide ation of the regional facility.
However, Minnesota's desig ation as the first host state
seems unlikely since both ichigan and Ohio generate
greater combined amounts 0 LLRW volume (cubic feet) and
waste radioactive (curies) two of the four criteria to be
used in the host state sel ction process. The LLRW facility
would be set up on an opti nal 20 year rotating basis.
Minnesota's option of volu teering to host the first regional
facility is being addresse On Wednesday, April I, 1987,
the MINN DEED is sponsorin a workshop on the volunteer
process and on the pros an cons of the LLRW facility.
Also, Minnesota has the op ton to develop a disposal
facility as a "Go-It-Alone' State, however, the Legislative
Advisory Committee feels t e economic consequences would
be adverse.
.
After the workshop, intere ted communities would issue press
releases, hold public info mation meetings with the aid
of State and/or Commission staff/officals. Thereafter, a
Resolution of Interest wil be necessary from the responsible
government body for the leal political subdivision within,
where the proposed site wo ld be located. The Resolution,
would not, at this point, e binding in any way. To date,
Minnesota has received 13 'letters of inquiry" from cities
and one from a county. No resolutions have been received.
B. ATLERNATIVE ACTIONS.
1. To proceed with intere t, address the City Council and
if positive, attend th workshop on April I, 1987.
2. To stop the process of interest as potential host community
of the LLRW facility.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION.
In the interest of economi s, staff recommends to proceed
with interest as no bindiu5 commitment is made. Job
creation and direct/indire t revenues are benefits to the
host community, however, elvironmental protection, public
health and safety are cone rns to be addressed.

c)
Go-It-AloneM State
The prima~ reason for withdrawi ,g from the Midwest Compact would be to
avoid having to site a regional acility. However, as a Ugo-it-aloneD
State, Minnesota would still nee to site a facility to dispose of its
own waste. Obviously, the benef ts of Compact membership would no
longer apply. The welfare, safe y and environmental considerations
which the Commission considers t be paramount may likely be less
adequately addressed by a Mgo-it aloneu state with fewer resources to
expend on the development of a fcility.
1.
If
This option was supported i both oral and written testimony
during Minnesota's public h arings on the Regional Management
Plan. Since that time, the issue has been raised at public
1!rnrc)rmation meetings throug out the State. Proponents of this
approach feel that, since e greatest amount of LlRW by volume
and activity level is produed by nuclear power plants, these
wastes should be disposed a or near the existing plants.
There are several problems ssociated with such an approach.
The siting considerations r a power plant, while having some
similarity to those for a disposal facility, also possess some
significant differences. 'or example, geologic factors relating
to sub-surface contaminant transport are not a major factor in
power plant site selection. Also, power plants are frequently
located in close proximity to large water bodies, for cooling
water sources. Furthermor, two possible sources of radioactive
contaminants could complic te monitoring and impact assessments.
In addition, the Nuclear R gulato~ Commission has indicated that
. it will not issue licenses for continued long term storage of
waste at nuclear power pla ts sites.
The problems associated wi h Minnesota siting a facility as a
Mgo-it-alone" State di scus ed below, of course, al so apply to thi s
option.
2. Minnesota's Otm Facilit E sewhere
Although as a Mgo-it-alone State, Minnesota could avoid having to
accept the entire region's wastes, there are also-problems
associated with this appro ch. These include:
· Exclusion of Out-of-Stat Waste - It is probable that
lnneso ,as a go- -a one' State would not be able to
exclude LlRW generate outside its borders if a site
contractor/operator w nted to accept such wastes. The issue
is a complex legal on which is not likely to be resolved in
the near future. How ver, indications are that "go-it-alone"
states may not have e legal authority under the commerce
.

7. CONSIDERATION TO PROCEED WI H PRELIMINARY PROCEDURES
TO PETITION FOR INTEREST OF METRO PHONE LINES TO
MONTICELLO.
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
One of the concerns of the DC was extended Metro phone
service to our area. The i sue was brought to my attention
again as Joy Swenson, a Mon icello area resident, expressed
her interest, provided a Bu falo newspaper article, and
a portionof the Minnesota S atutory on petition for
extended area service. I t lephoned Diane Wells of the
Minnesota Public Utilities ommission, she advised that
the preliminary petition be only for the 295 exchange,
not to include the 878 exch nge; advised that signatures
be obtained from one family member for each phone number,
and advised that the prelim nary petition only expresses
interest in extended area s rvice. Second, the Commission
then investiages the rates, location of schools, etc.
Third, after the Commission s investigation, the Commission
may deny the extended serv ce request, if denied than a
two year wait period. Four h, if the investigation is
positive then they conduct nformation polls and/or/both
public hearings. Also, Ms. Wells reported after the
ten community investigation the Commission will evaluate:
One, the option of extended metro service for persons who
only want the said service n a designated area; and
second, the option of exten ed service for example not
to Hastings but only to the Metro/suburb area. Private
telephone companies, busine ses, or individuals may object
to extended service. Joy S ens on has the offical needed
petition form, knows of vol nteers willing to petition
the 295 residents, she felt the IDC could petition the
industries, and the Chamber could petition commerical/
retail businesses.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTION.
1. Proceed with petition p ocess, after notification to
to Bridgewater Telephone Co pany, hold organizational
meeting for volunteers, and have press coverage.
2. Wait for results of the Utilities Commission evaluation
before proceeding with the etition process.
3. Drop the issue complete y.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION.
Staff has no recommendation at this time.

Feb. 26. 1987
Ten communities ask to
be in metro phone area
.
The Minnesota. Public
Utilities Commission initiated
an investigation into tlie future
expansion of the Twin Cities
metropolitan calling area. The
ir:vestigation will examine
whether future expansion of the
Twin Cities metro calling area
is in the public interest.
The investigation was prom-
pted by the fact that the Com-
mission currently has ten
petitions from communities
wishing to be included in the
toll-free metro calling area.
Rather than pr~ess each
petition individually, the Com-
mission decided that combining
the petitions into one in-
vestigation would be the most
efficient means of handling the
petitions. Additionally, the in-
vestigation will provide com-
prehensive irrfbrmation that the
Commission can use in respon-
ding to each petition.
The ten telephone exchanges
for which subscribers have
submitted petitions to the
Commission requesting taU.
free access into the Min.
neapolis/St. Paul calling area
are adjacent to the
metropolitan calling area.
These ten exchanges are Zim-
merman, Waconia, Belle.
Plaine, North Branch, Orisago
City/Lindstrom, New Prague,
Cambridge, and the Wisconsin
exchanges of Prescott, Hudson
and Houlton. .
Issues likely to be covered in
the investigation include how
future expansion of the metro
toll free calling area would af-
fect local rates paid by
telephone subscribers living in
the metro area; whether limits
should be placed on the size of
the toll free metropolitan .
calling area; whether the
present telephone service bet-
w~en the metro calling area and
adjacent exchanges is
inadequate; and whether the .
current rate structure for the
metro area Is responsive and .

CITY OF MONTICELLO

Monticello, MN 55362
Attn: Ollie Koropchak
Dear Ms. Koropchak:
As a follow-up to the interview y u conducted earlier this
year, I am responding to your req est for more detailed
information as to why Fingerhut c. ose Monticello for re-
location of our telephone collect'on operation.
As you may recall, the operation as previously located
in Golden Valley until October, 1 79. At that time, we
decided that, given the Company's growth goals, the labor
market for telephone collection w s not adequate in volume
or, more importantly, in quality nd dependability.
In mid 1979, Monticello had just ailed a brochure to busi-
nesses around the state outlining their potential to serve
companies growth needs.
Upon investigating, we found all f their claims to be
exactly what they said they were.
Some of the major points we looke at before deciding are
as follows:
1) Favorable land and buildi g costs as compared to the
Twin Cities market.
2) Strategically located on major interstate halfway
between our Corporate Rea quarters in Minnetonka and
our major Distribution Ce ter in St. Cloud.
3)
An adequate and fully com
supply to accommodate our
have grown from twenty-on
currently, and will finis
etent, dependable labor
long term growth plans. We
employees to Sixty-three
1987 at over seventy-five.
4) Favorable business climat City officials were
extremely helpful and sup ortive in helping to find
suitable quarters for our relocation.
5)
Adequate phone service.
is extremely progressive,
modern services and equip
vide excellent service.

offering all of the latest and
ent, plus the ability to pro-
.
Given the community's growth over the last six years, I view
Monticello as a very progressive, growth oriented city and we
fully intend to continue to gro right along with it. As you
are aware, the first of the year we moved into a new facility
in your industrial park and we have plans to add to this
facility, doubling its size, by 1991.
If I can be of any further assistance, please call me.
Sincerely Yours,
