As M.C., Chuck Siggerud had words of praise for Ed and for his contributions over the years to the residents and as a fellow worker. The scroll signed by City employees was presented, and Ed recalled
some of the happenings through the years .... "a few ups and downs, but for the most part pretty good years."
At the July 6 meeting the City Council presented a plague to Ed with their "thanks for 25 years of continuous, consistent and faithful ~ervice to the citizens of Burnsville."
Ed has plowed many miles of streets through those years, being hired in 1957 when the Township had only one motor grader to maintain its roads.
As the first and only Public Works Superintendent, he has seen Burnsville grow from a Township with gravel roads to a metropolitan City providing
a broad range of public works services to its residents.
Congratulations from us all, Ed Giles!!

Tires Plus SoldPUBLISHED ON JULY 17, 2000 @ 6:00AM EST
Morgan buys Tires Plus
By Vera Fedchenko Tire Business staff
BURNSVILLE, Minn.—Tire industry titans Larry Morgan and Tom Gegax have agreed to merge their dealerships—Morgan Tire & Auto Inc. and Team Tires Plus Ltd.—and form the nation's newest tire retailing empire.
The two companies combined will operate approximately 540 stores, second only to Penske Auto Centers, according to Tire Business' rankings of North America's independent tire dealerships. In terms of sales, Morgan Tire will become a $745 million firm, moving to a third-place ranking in North America behind Discount Tire Co. and Les Schwab Tire Centers Inc.
Clearwater, Fla.-based Morgan Tire, which already operates 400+ stores in 15 states and projects its 2000 sales to reach $525 million, gains a solid presence in nine midwestern states where it previously had no outlets.
The company does business as Olson Tire, Wheel Works, Avellino's Tire, Hibdon Tire Centers and Michel Tire, but all those stores gradually will convert to the Tires Plus banner within the next few years, Mr. Morgan said. The corporate name will remain.
Morgan Tire agreed to purchase Burnsville-based Tires Plus July 6. The transaction, terms of which were undisclosed, is expected to close within 30 days.
Tires Plus operates 140 stores—90 company-owned and 50 franchises, Mr. Gegax said. The firm projected its 2000 sales to reach $220 million.
The combined entity expects to sell 6.5 million tires in 2000 and will employ about 6,000, Mr. Morgan said.

McAndrews glad to stayBVC October 24, 1979
by Jim Bayer
B. J. McAndrews was born in 1899 on what is now the Ridges campus, just across the street from where he now lives, at 109 W. 138th St.
About 15 years ago. he and his wife, Katherine, moved their home from Nicollet Avenue and County Road 42 to make way for progress. The new Cobblestone Corner now stands on the property that was once his.
McAndrews, now alone— his wife died last year—was coming perilously close to making way for more progress.
McAndrews' house sits right in the path of what might have become the extension of 138th Street connecting Nicollet Avenue and Interstate 35W, However, based on the attitudes of three Burnsville City Council members at a workshop last week, McAndrews and his house may be safe.
" I’m glad they aren’t taking the house,” he said. " I don't want to move much just yet.”
Of the three alternatives researched by a Minneapolis engineering firm, two would have required that his house be destroyed or moved. As it turns out, a third alternative, Or variations of it, which would not require the land on which the house sits, may be the preferred one.
Unlike some of his neighbors who have been fighting hard lo keep the street away from the trees and ponds just to the south and west of his home, McAndrews is not very excited about the possibility of a park being there.
“ I ’d just as soon see it slay as it is,” he said. " I don't cure much for a park here.”
McAndrews, however, is a realist.
” 1won't be around forever,” he said, “ I just told them I'd never sell while I was alive.”
After living near the stand of trees for as long as he has, he does have a certain affection for them.
“ It would be a shame to destroy all of the those trees and everything,” he said. " I’ve always been against that.”
McAndrews said he has watched deer drinking from the pond visible from the rear of his house. He says there are many other forms of wildlife in the woods.
Understanding that an official decision has not been made, McAndrews could only guess what he would do if the city’s decision went against him. .
“ Well, 1 don’t know,” he said thoughtfully; “ There’s not much you could do I suppose.
“ I guess I’d demand more money for the house,” he said, smiling. “ But like they say, money isn’t everything.
“ I guess I could move to a home somewhere. But it’s not like having vour own home.”Mar 20, 2017

Change in Park Reserve DistrictArguments for change in the status of the Hennepin County Park reserve District are fueled by the County Board's action on the 1977 Park budget.
County commissioners come to park budget request by $408,000, causing the district to announce many cutbacks and services. The County Board allocates funds, the district decides how to spend. The cutbacks hurt because the use of county parks has been growing. Also, the cutbacks conflict with the metropolitan councils goals for regional parks; the council has provided money to buy and develop parks, the County Board doesn't provide adequate money to operate them.
Some members of the County Park reserve board field the County commissioners arbitrarily trimmed park operating funds in order to demonstrate their lack of control over park spending. It is argued also that county commissioners aren't aware of part needs and give them a low priority. Some commissioners, he just felt, want to eliminate the park reserve board itself and make the parks a regular part of County government. Such a change is not without merit; some commissioners have said that it would produce better management. Greater responsibility could make commissioners more interested in Park needs.
But park board members doubt that commissioners would give Parks proper attention. Besides, money problems with still exist--the County Board cup many other programs this year and still had to raise taxes 14.2%. Some park officials think that the district should become autonomous, like a school district, with its own taxing authority. Or that Hennepin County to become part of a regional Park Authority, supported by the Metropolitan council.
Ways must be found to meet present and future park needs in Hennepin County. The solutions suggested so far involve structural changes that would needs legislative action. The problem deserves the attention the 1970s seventh Legislature.Mar 20, 2017

federal Funds and city needsMinneapolis alderman aced with raising taxes and cutting services next year, are understandably dubious about proposals for spending thousands of dollars of federal money I'm such things as a neighborhood radio station and a study of the downtown artists district. As desirable is such proposals may be, they don't feel pressing city needs.
The two recommendations are among those by the citywide citizens advisory committeeFor using $15 million in federal community development fund. Formerly there were federal grants for specific community development projects, but those have been replaced with a lump sum to be allocated by the city council, with advice from citizens and subject to federal approval. The advisory committee, an elected body, recommended about $10 million for housing improvements, more than $3 million for social service programs and the rest for public works and job development efforts.
The radio station, artists' district and some other projects were singled out for criticism by aider- men because they were the most vulnerabl e tar- gets (although a good argument for the artists' area is that it would help rehabilitate the down- town warehouse district) . But the point the alder- . men were making was that more of this lump- sum federal money should be directed toward street improvements , parks and · other capital spending in a manner that would help relieve the city's budget problems-even though the money can't be used for routine operating expenses.
A few alderm,en are disenchanted with the feder- ally required advisory process itself; they say that the elected "advisers" ·are pressured by neighbor- hood organiza tions to approve pet projects that don't merit high priority .
Council President Louis DeMars says, hov.:ever , t hat the problem is the advisory · comm.Ittee's
Inability to consider the cities entire financial situation making its decisions. The committee made its allocations within its interpretation of council set guidelines. In any event, the committees job was to split up the $15 million, not to solve the city's budget problems.
The council can take the overall view of city finances that the committee couldn't, and can make changes in allocations without destroying the advisory process. The council can't overlook the intent of the federal grants– They are controlled by federal law– which is to improve committees basically through physical development. But it can and should make sure that the money is spent wisely and that the spending is for real sitting needs.

Pseudo-Citizen participantsMinneapolis Star Wednesday, December 31 1975 editorial opinion
Pseudo citizen participants
ONE of the more useful customs of American politics is the farewell speech in .which a departing leader warns of- and thereby delineates for perhaps the first time-an insidious danger to the democratic system. Such a well-taken warning was issued this week by Al- bert Hofstede in his last speeches as mayor to the Citizens League and the Minneapolis City Council.
While noting that "we have set in motion a program of sensible and healthy citizen participati on in local government," Hofstede cautioned that "a lot of high-hand ed, exclusive, pres- sure politics goes storming around this city in the guise of citizen participa- tion and community involvement.
"Those phrases," he said, "h ave be- come buzz phrases, tripped off the tongues of politicians and media people at the first sign of controversy," lend- ing' · credence to "organized claques, self~righteous to the point of tyranny," who are m reality "pseudo-citizen -par- ticipants for whom the method .is su- pr~me and the issue is always second- ary and oversimplified."

Governing County ParksMinneapolis Star, December 7, 1976
After the budget beating it took from the County Board this fall it's easy to see why the semi-independent Hennepin County Park reserve District considers itself something of a stepchild of County government. It's also easy to see why some suggest that the district asked the 1977 legislature for the greater independence that would come from having its own taxing authority.
That could solve a problem alright, but we think it would be in the wrong way. Rather than moving the District farther out from under the County Board, County parks should be made more directly aboard responsibility.

St. PAUL PIONEER PRESS Fri. Auqust 12 , 1977
By Andrew M. Greeley Chicago
Beware the spokesperson. Usually he/she is spokespersoning only for him/herself.
I'll give you a hint. When the media identify someone as a "community leader," and the person hasn't been elected by anyone, you can count on it: he's not a leader and the community has never heard of him.
He's someone who is looking for power and influence (maybe in a good cause , God knows) through a shortcut, especially since his chances of ever being elected a leader are minimal.
THE SAME GOES for "con- sumer advocates," "public interest groups," and "women's rights leaders": their causes rnav be just, honorable. righteous - and noble, but no one elected them to anything.

St Louis Park Environment TroublesSt Paul Pioneer Press
DECEMBER 1976
'Insincerity' brings mass resignation
The eight members of the St. Louis Park Environmental Improvement Commission have resigned .
Lee Rickard, commission chairman, said Tuesday the eight are taking the action to protest ''the insincerity of the City Council and staff in their concern for the environment. ''
He said the members are resigning because they have been un- able to get the council to agree to refer more items to the commission for its review.
Rickard said the one-year terms of the eight members expire Dec. 31 and seven of the eight last month had requested reappointment.
The· City Council is to receive the mass resignation letter at its meeting Monday, he said.Mar 20, 2017

Citizens Advisory Committee - January 1976Named But Not Heard
The ruling clique of the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners owes the citizens of this county a detailed explanation of what it ex- pects of its "citizen advisory com- mittees," and how much impor- tance it att aches lo the work done by these presumably knowledgeable volunteers .
Since December , seven of the 13 members of the Ramsey County Mental Health Advisory Board have resigned in frustration: the chairman in December , six others this week.
The committee is less than a year old.It was formed to advise the county board when that body took over direct responsibility for running county mental health programs , It was a carefully chosen committee, char ged with making recommendat ions to the county board on mental health programs
and budget.
The trouble is, no one would listen.
Those who resigned cited grow- ing frustration in attempting to deal with staff and commission- ers. The last stra w, it appears came when county board Chair- ma n John F inley rallied his board majority to short-circuit his own committee process in appointing a new chairman of the advisory group. It was after that action that the six member s submitted resignations.
Said Hi Kilborn, the former chairman: "The county has lost the services of six very intelligent, capable and willing public serv- ants. I think it signals the end of the advisory board. That's too bad. I'd hoped maybe my with- draw a l could prod some change."
Well, it is too bad, in many ways. Citizens selected for appointment to the board were chosen for the ir knowledge of mental illness, retardation and chemical dependency.The county board has ultimate responsibility for con-
ducting programs in these areas, but it surely needs the best advice it can get in making decisions.
It is an insult to the citizens who give tim e to such work to ignore them. It is bad for the program· it is bad for the whole concept of citizen participation in government.Mar 20, 2017

Pemtom Materials in colorRiver Hills Development
Why the Tax Picture • • • Present and Future ... is Bright in River Hills
Taxes are, and should be, a major concern to every home buyer. They make up a substantial portion of your monthly payments, and usually reflect the fiscal condition of the locale in which you live-for the present and the future.
At the present time, Burnsville residents living within Minnesota School District 191 enjoy the greatest tax advantage in the Greater Twin City area. Roughly speaking, 65% to 75% of your total property tax is school tax, and the balance is paid to the municipality, the County and State. Therefore, the school tax base has the greatest effect on your property taxes.
Minnesota School District 191, including River Hills, encompasses all the industry in the Minnesota River Basin from Cedar Avenue to Savage: This area includes Northern States Power's Black Dog electric plant, Port Cargill, Producers Can Corporation , Lehigh Portland Cement Company, and Northwestern States Cement Company located near Interstate Highway 35W.
Each of these companies has a tax valuation in the millions. In total they contribute yearly to the school system and municipality sums enjoyed by no other area in the Twin Cities suburban area. Future development of industrially zoned ground in the river basin is both likely and desirable.
What doe s this mean to you , as a home buyer? Does it mean that taxes will not increase? No, but it means that while taxes will increase everywhere, you should enjoy a very favorable difference in tax payment~ -in River Hills as opposed to other areas outside this school district. It basically means that you as a buyer can afford more home for the same monthly payment you would pay in other areas. (Actually, up to $4,000 more !) It means , also, that the municipality can afford more services at less cost to the homeowner.
This brings us to our next most frequently mentioned subject because it is closely related to the matter of taxes.
GRADE SCHOOLS, JUNIOR AND SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS FOR YOUR CHILDREN! EXCELLENT SCHOOL BUS SERVICE!
At this time Burnsville school District 191 HAS 5 new schools. They are: Cedar elementary, River Hills elementary, Vista view elementary, Savage elementary, and the Burnsville junior-senior high school. The services available to all grades except where schools are within close walking distance.
This modern school system is well-established. The methods of education and quality of teaching personnel are among the most highly regarded in the state of Minnesota.
The school physical plants – uncrowded and well staffed – Have not been an abnormal tax burden to homeowners service by the system. Again, the reasons relate back to the industrial tax structure.
Undoubtedly, more schools will be required in future years, as will be true with any area– even those areas presently considered as fully developed. However, the tax advantages will remain with River hills homeowners.Then continue to benefit in future years.
ALL RIVER HILLS UTILITIES AND STREET IMPROVEMENTS ARE IN AND PAID FOR!
Herein lies a very important consideration to every prospective home buyer. Seemingly good values have become expensive burdens to homeowners who had not investigated the questions of utilities and streets. You may know people who have purchased new homes only to find that their street and lawn must be torn up for another utility coming into the area. Each time the street is resurfaced it means assessments against the homeowner, plus hook-up charges into sewer or water mains.
This will not be the case in River Hills. A municipally owned and operated sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water system is in operation when you occupy a new home in River Hills. All these items are in and paid for by Pemtom, leaving only use charges to be paid by the homeowner. (And charges are the most reasonable to be found in any nearby areas.)
In addition to utilities, all homes front on finished black to p streets with concrete curbs and gutters. Concrete driveways run from the garage apron all the way to the curb, in the 4th Addition and all future Additions.
In summary, we urge you to compare the home values presented in River Hills. Examine the quality materials and workmanship in every home. The advantages Pemtom can pass on to you, the home buyer, through volume purchasing plus control of the product from raw land' to the final sale, mean more dollar value- high resale- and a thoroughly sound investment.Mar 06, 2017

40 Years After flood of 1965Savage Pacer - Nancy Huddleston 2005
April 9, 2005, Savage Pacer
Airlift to season opener
Four Minnesota Twins baseball players living in Burnsville beat the traffic jams by getting an air lift to the 1965 seasons opening game with the New YorkYankees. Rich Rollins, Dick Stigman,Bill Bethea and Jim Kaat were picked up by helicopter at Burnsville High School at 9:30 a.m. and returned after the game . Several classes of elementary age children located in the west wing of the building were thrilled to see the Twins waiting outside their school.
35W a vast, quiet lake
Interstate35W was new in 1965and was usually humming with cars and trucks. It was submerged under a vast, quiet lake dotted with a few trees and road signs and closed off for a week between Bloomington and Highway 13.
The only traffic near the highway was a rowboat that was moored at the entrance to the Embassy Club and colorful pleasure boats of Aqua Craft Inc. that floated unperturbed in a neat row near the water-coveredmarina on the Bloomington side of the river.
Since all area river crossings were under water, motorists had to travelHighway 13to the Mendota Bridge. At times, traffic was backed up to BurnsvilleHigh School and was not moving
at all. So, motorists in the area of the River Hills neighborhood in Burnsvillemade the best of the situation by getting up a roadside ball game.
Many Burnsville residents with downtown jobs simply rented hotel rooms and stayed in town until the flood waters receded.Mar 06, 2017

Chancellor Manor Makeover 2010More than a makeover at Burnsville's Chancellor Manor
A remade public housing complex in Burnsville means more services for residents - and fewer police calls. By ALEX EBERT Star Tribune AUGUST 28, 2010 — 10:13PM
ELIZABETH FLORES, STAR TRIBUNE
Children played soccer outside a newly renovated courtyard at the Chancellor Manor pubic housing development. Since the renovation, calls to police have fallen dramatically.
Fresh paint, winding concrete walkways and neatly manicured trees make the apartments and townhouses of Chancellor Manor look more like college dorms than Dakota County's largest subsidized housing development. Yet after a yearlong renovation, people say the biggest change is something you can't see: Not nearly as much crime.
After a
Officials of the city of Burnsville and the county also praise the development's higher curbside appeal, which might yield higher property values in the surrounding area.
The 14-building complex with three-story apartments and two-story townhouses is located near County Rd. 42 and the Burnsville Center.
It was built in 1972 to accommodate federal Section 8 housing vouchers. Most residents are non-English speaking immigrants whose salaries average about $13,000 a year, said Dick Brustad, vice president of the Community Housing Development Corporation, which owns the property.
In the last three decades the "tired and worn-out" property's care started to slide and crime became a serious issue with "less than aggressive oversight," said Mark Ulfers , executive director of the Dakota County Community Development Agency.

More
In 2000, Burnsville police received around 600 calls for service from the complex. Drug deals and gang graffiti were commonplace. A man was stabbed to death outside of an
apartment in 2003. A few years later, a man cut himself on the glass of a fire extinguisher box, spilling blood in an apartment and creating an uproar as residents called for improvements.
Fearing the federal government could pull money from the property, Dakota County, US Bank, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development raised enough funds for the private non-profit Community Housing and Development Corp. to buy the 200-unit complex and give it a security and aesthetic makeover.
Cue dozens of security camera installations, reinforced doors with heavy deadbolt locks and magnetic keys and newly unattached garages so residents and police can see clearly what happens in the parking lots.
The result: police calls for service plummeted 32 percent this year. Calls are down to 183 from 272 during the same period last year, said Burnsville Police Officer Casey Buck.
"Since new management came in, typical calls are similar to what you'd see at any apartment complex," Buck said.
And the renovated Chancellor Manor offers more for its residents that have less. English and cooking lessons. Boy Scout meetings. Grade school tutors. It's a "reinvigoration" of services the complex hasn't seen in ages, Ulfers said. Dakota County also opened up 10 units for homeless residents.
The property was scheduled for reassessment last Thursday, and politicians and administrators are speculating that the improved "curbside appeal" and increased safety could lead to higher property values around the once- troubled development.
Although the outcome appears to be rosy, changing was also a big inconvenience said Marsha White, a 10-year resident.
Since the structures were revamped without moving tenants, White let builders into her home as early as 7 a.m. some days to knock out a moldy wall and install new faucets and alarm systems.
Initially, residents were skeptical about the renovations.
There had been minor improvements over the last decade, but none really seemed to make a big difference, White said. But this time seemed like a real change to her.
"This is a 180," she said. "Just because you live in subsidized housing doesn't mean you have to let it go to hell."Mar 03, 2017
