meeting took place in the Shakopee City Hall .
Bill Dellwo stated that the O'Dowd Park should be added to other

Chief Ries stated that the Fire Department is hiring through the
County and the townships can have people on the fire department as
long as they can be available during the day, he stated that there
is one person from Jackson Township currently on the fire crew.
The amounts of assessments were discussed for the fire truck. The
assessments would be ten percent of the cost, and it was stated
that the townships would always be a year behind. The townships
would be paying installments, in full or on a pro-rated five year
plan with interest . The 1993 assessed values would used
d for
or
calculating the payment . The exact payment amount
calculated by the Finance Director and forwarded to the Townships
this fall . The rate of interest would be equal to what the City

Chief Ries stated that in 1997 there would be a need for a

Mr. Stock stated that from the '93 budget to ' 94 budget it
increased by $800 . He asked the townships to consider budgeting a

every year of about three or four percent.
Mr. Stock commented that the City was in the process of acquiring
the property south of the high school, which could possibly include
four additional ball fields . He stated that the concession stand
at the ball park is run by organizations that volunteer to run it.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Dennis Kraft, City Administrator
FROM: Karen Marty, City Attorney
DATE: August 10, 1993
RE: Murphy' s Landing
Since Murphy' s Landing presented its concerns to the City
Council earlier this month, various legal questions have been
raised. These questions and their answers are set forth below.
1 . If Murphy' s Landing closes, what responsibility will the
City (as the property owner) have for the Section 8 tenants?
Although I have not seen the actual leases used by Murphy' s
Landing, I have reviewed the form contracts used by the Scott
County Housing and Redevelopment Authority in authorizing Section
8 housing. This housing receives partial rent payments from the
Authority and partial payments from the tenant, in exchange for
certain guarantees in the lease. One of those guarantees is that
the landlord will not terminate the tenancy of the family during
the first year of the tenancy except, essentially, for bad acts
by the tenant . After the first year, the lease can be terminated
if the landlord desires to use the unit "for a purpose other than
use as a residential rental unit" or if the property is sold.
Eviction must be through court action. Of course, at any time
the landlord and the tenant may agree to terminate the lease .
Therefore, if we are in the first year of the lease, we
cannot terminate the lease unless the tenant agrees. If we are
past the first year, we can terminate the lease.
2 . Are smoke detectors and fire extinguishers required in
the buildings open to the public and in the buildings rented to
tenants?
Under the Uniform Fire Code, which the City has adopted, the
Fire Chief shall designate the type and number of fire-protection
devices to be installed and maintained in and upon all buildings
and premises . Our Fire Chief will require fire extinguishers and
smoke detectors where necessary to protect the public.
City Code Sec . 4 . 50 also requires all dwelling units to
contain a smoke detector.
3 . May people live at Murphy' s Landing without sewer and
water?
No. The Uniform Housing Code, adopted by the City, requires
in Sec . 505 (a) that every dwelling unity be provided with a
bathroom and kitchen (including sink) . Chapter 10 defines
substandard buildings, and lists conditions to be met .
Inadequate sanitation items include those buildings lacking hot
and cold running water, lacking a water closet, or lacking a
bathtub or shower. Chapter 11 sets out the procedure to require
a substandard building to be repaired, rehabilitated, vacated, or
demolished.
Someone suggested that people were living at Fort Snelling,
and this would be a source of information about how to avoid the
housing code. I spoke with people at the state historical
society and at Fort Snelling, and was informed that no one lives
on site . People do occasionally stay overnight for a special
event, but no one lives there on an on-going basis .
4 . If Murphy' s Landing has not paid their federal
withholding, is the City liable?
Federal withholding taxes are due from the employer. Since
the City does not employ anyone at Murphy' s Landing at this time,
we are not responsible for the taxes. If we were to take over
the site or hire the Murphy' s Landing employees as City
employees, we would want to work closely with the IRS to make
certain that they did not impose these liabilities on the City.
I will be researching this further, since there have been
suggestions that this is a facility merely being managed for the
City.
If you have any further questions, please let me know.

RE: Murphy's Landing - HRA Loan
Date: 8/10/93
On Monday, August 9, 1993 I spoke with Mr. Tom Hay (City's Bond
Counsel - Dorsey & Whitney) regarding the possibility of having the
Shakopee HRA loan funds to Murphy's Landing. Mr. Hay stated that
since Murphy's Landing was within Housing and Redevelopment
Authority Project Area Number 1, the HRA could loan funds to
Murphy's Landing consistent with the provision set forth in M.S.
469. 012 .
Mr. Hay also noted that the City of Shakopee could also loan up to
$50, 000. 00 per year to Murphy's Landing consistent with the
provisions set forth in M. S. 469 . 191.
Mr. Hay stated that formal resolutions would have to be drafted in
either case to facilitate a loan transaction.
TO: Vernice Takumi
FROM: Tom Steininger
SUBJECT: Murphy' s Landing
DATE: 08 10 93
A reminder of items discussed at the Murphy' s Landing Meeting.
1. Security - The only feasible way to provide security is to have
someone living on site. The fence, the proximity to the river and
the nature of the buildings at Murphy' s Landing make them very
susceptible to burglary and vandalism.
2 . Code and Ordinance Violations - Sgt. Kaley of this department
checked the area following receipt of the letter which was read at
the last council meeting. He found inadequate or inoperative
sewers, old cars, junk lumber and evidence of firearms violations.
3 . Storage of Artifacts - If Murphy's Landing closes, the best way
to protect artifacts from burglars and vandals is to make
arrangements to store them off site.
TO: Vernice
FROM: Gregg Voxland, Finance Director
RE: Murphy's Landing
DATE: August 10, 1993
The insurance situation of the City regarding Murphy's Landing was discussed with
the city's agent who reviewed it with the insurance underwriter. The status is;
1. Liability. The policy covering the city is a comprehensive policy.
Coverage is in place for any liability exposure within the scope of the
policy.
2. Property. The policy is on a replacement cost basis. In view of the
nature of the property, does the city want to insure it and what is the
purpose of having such coverage?
The biggest or basic question that needs to be answered for the underwriter to
address the issues involved with the site is what are the long range plans of the
city for the site?

MEMORANDUM
TO: Dennis Kraft, City Administrator
FROM: Karen Marty, City Attorney
DATE: August 9, 1993
RE: Murphy' s Landing
We have discussed Murphy' s Landing numerous times, as a fine
asset which is under-utilized. You mentioned that some
suggestions for its improvement might be appreciated, so here is
a quick list of the ones which most struck me as a result of
visiting there and watching its problems from year to year. I
hesitated to put these forward, since I am neither intimately
familiar with Murphy' s, nor engaged in business, but I do have
some knowledge and experience in helping small businesses and
museums which applies . So, a few suggestions :
1 . To obtain money, Murphy' s Landing needs a business plan.
What do they intend to do with money and where do they intend to
improve? (If there is no one on staff or volunteering who is
experienced in preparing businesses plans, they can ask the Small
Business Administration for help. )
2 . Murphy' s Landing is largely unknown. They need a
marketing plan. A recognizable logo and a catch phrase (a by-
line) is important and could be extremely helpful in improving
their image and helping people remember them. The logo should
evoke a positive image and memory of the place; the by-line is to
sell an emotion (e.g. , Kodak sells memories, not pictures) . (If
no one on staff can prepare a logo, by-line, or marketing plan, a
contest advertised in the art and businesses departments of local
colleges will often generate a logo or by-line at the minimal
cost of a prize. The marketing professor at a business college
may be willing to assign or suggest this business as a project,
and get you a free marketing plan. )
3 . A wish list has been successful at other establishments
in bringing in needed or desired items . For example, in their
newsletter the Minnesota Zoo publishes a wish list of items they
wish someone would donate. These can be books, antiques,
vehicles, or money ear-marked for a specific project . Be sure to
emphasize that the donation is tax-deductible (which I assume it
is) .
4 . Visitors want two modern conveniences that are missing:
conveniently located bathrooms, and places to sit . Many visitors
do not have the stamina to walk halfway through the park, only to
walk back in order to use the toilets. The elderly and less
physically fit need to sit often, and seating should be provided
for them. You can place modern bathrooms inside apparently
historical structures, and seating can be stone walls around
yards, but something must be available. To limit the walk, you
also might consider moving the entrance to the middle of the
park, between the village and the farm/Indian sections, or to the
west end. Then visitors could walk through only half the park,
if that is all they wanted.
5 . Although the point of Murphy' s Landing is to teach,
there is no reason to ignore those visitors who want to spend
money. Most middle-class visitors would prefer to leave with a
souvenir, and do not mind if it is slightly over-priced. The
inside of the gift shop should be modern, spacious, and well lit .
Basic goods include sweatshirts, t-shirts, umbrellas, and rain
slickers with the logo on them. Beyond that, any goods made of
period materials will sell . Quilts, anything of pewter or wood,
jelly, old-fashioned cloth items (lace curtains, aprons, dresses,
tablecloths and napkins) , and simple jewelry would fit, along
with any Indian items. (Look at a Sturbridge Yankee Workshop
catalog - I can provide one - or visit the many gift shops in
Silver Dollar City for ideas . ) For sources of materials, you
might contact some of the better Renaissance Festival artists and
members of the Mdewaukaton Sioux Community to see if they would
like to display in your shop, maybe on consignment . Remember
that the shop is not an educational tool, and is there to
(tastefully) make money to support the rest of the place .
Therefore it does not matter if the goods are not quite from the
right time period or made in the old-fashioned way.
6 . Either eliminate or substantially upgrade the boat ride.
The idea is fine, but the stairs to the boat and the boat itself
are not of an appropriate quality. The boat is an unpleasant
surprise after the pictures of a beautiful steamboat on the
fence.
7 . The manager (s) of Murphy' s should consider meeting with
members of the Small Business Administration. This place needs
to be run like a business (every establishment can use the good
elements of business) , and the SBA has some good people and
material on how to do that .
I hope these are useful .

Re: Murphy's Landing
Dear Gary,
Earlier this year I was contacted by Dr. Roland Pistulka and asked to consider serving on the Murphy's
Board of Trustees. Like most people with busy schedules, I am protective of my time and I choose
my involvements carefully. When Dr. Pistulka explained that he was looking for business expertise,
not access to a bank loan, I agreed to continue the conversation. I subsequently met with him and
Gerry Barker for the specific purpose of learning more about Murphy's Landing.
In the weeks since, I was introduced to Gerry Barker, I have learned that Murphy's Landing is much
more than a collection of old buildings behind an uninviting wooden fence. With proper management
and marketing, it can be a wonderful cultural amenity to our area. Gerry Barker is thoughtful and
intelligent, but he can't be all things to Murphy's Landing. I am prepared to lend whatever expertise I
can to assisting with the task of managing and marketing a renewed Murphy's Landing, and I have
listened to many good ideas from some capable people that appear willing to help.
I will be out of town on Wednesday, August 11 and will be unable to attend the scheduled committee
meeting. I wanted you to know that as a Shakopee resident and a local banker, I believe it is in our
area's best interest to help Murphy's Landing survive. In my opinion, it has a chance to flourish in the
future.
Sincerely,
L-L-�

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
• Murphy's Landing is a village museum located in Shakopee, Minnesota, on the
southwestern edge of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area.
operating staff of Murphy's
• Although it has been under development since 1967, op $
Landing views it as incomplete because many of the buildings and structures
originally planned for the site are not yet in place.
Q Despite its state of incompletion, Murphy's Landing is already one of the
largest--also one of the most attractive--village museums in the country.
With 48 buildings already on the 70-acre site, it is larger than most
comparable facilities. The buildings on site are in excellent condition
for the most part and attractively arranged. The restoration is arranged
along a mile-long front overlooking the Minnesota River, with some views
second to none among village museums:
• Although never opened officially, the site is open to the public and serves
around 30,000 students and adults a year during a six-month season, including
five summer months and December. .
• Revenues derived from gate fees, concession and gift shop sales, membership
fees, and allied business activities have been consistently lower than
operating and capital expenses. Deficits have been covered from private
donations, state and county grants, and federal grants from housing and
employment programs.
o Operating emphasis has been on capital development activities rather than
programming in efforts to complete the site. Programming, consequently,
has been understaffed and the quality of interpretation has been left to
the individual intitative of part-time paid and volunteer interpreters.
o In some respects Murphy's Landing is similar to the "typical," small village
museum. Murphy's Landing has somewhat higher attendance (30,000 versus
26,000) , a somewhat higher operating budget ($170,000 versus $145,000) , and
fewer full-time staff members (four versus eight) .
• Murphy's Landing v' andira is different from the "typical" village museum in that it
is located in the vicinity of a large metropolitan area; covers a long
period of history (1840 to 1890) versus one or a few years in most museums;
emphasizes multiple ethnic groups versus one in most others; and has many
more buildings (48 versus the average of 16 for village museums) .
e Murphy's Landing can be viewed as a large village museum operated and
financed like a small one. A number of problems arise from this contrast.
• The key problem faced by Murphy's Landing is a contradictory strategy of
operations under which too much has been attempted without the requisite
iv
resources. Funding has not materialized for the very ambitious developmental
plan, but the plan has not been modified. The site was opened to the public
in order to obtain revenues, but program activities have not been stressed
or funded to make the visitor's experience dynamic and entertaining.
Operating under excessively high work loads, the staff has tended to fight
fires rather than running the facility. Over time, this has resulted in
fatigue and an inward-looking rather than an outgoing style of management.
o An important step toward the economic stabilization of Murphy's Landing
would be the adoption of a strategy better geared toward the realities of the
market and the ability of funding sources to support operations and
development.
G MRI recommends a strategy that emphasizes programming and outreach--utilizing
already existing facilities to the fullest rather than adding new facilities.
Some additional capital investment (Phase I, described in the body of the
report) is essential to complete work on buildings already on the site.
Additional investment, however, should be viewed as discretionary rather
than as necessary for successful operations.
c Successfully operating village museums, those with stable operating budgets
and ability to. raise capital, have a large endowment or an active and
effective outreach program. Outreach activities depend on dynamic and
entertaining programming and judicious cultivation of the community.
Because Murphy's Landing does not have an endowment, it should begin
immediately to build up its attendance and its outreach to the community--
hence our recommended emphasis on programming.
o We estimate that Murphy's Landing has a potential attendance of around
60,000 people today. The site is now realizing about half of its potential.
The site's primary market area--the population within a 30-minute drive of
Murphy's Landing--is growing much faster than the population of the
metropolitan area as a whole. The potential attendance will be 80,000 in
1990 and 100,000 in the year 2000. Because of its size and attractive
location, the facility could attract even greater attendance eventually,
but that will require both time and extraordinary effort.
o Assuming a change in strategy and an orderly, modified, capital development
program, we conclude that Murphy's Landing can become a viable operation
by 1988, requiring thereafter financial support from donors or governmental
grants of no more than 25 percent of its operating budget (around $100,000
a year) .
c To reach that point, however, the facility will require an operating subsidy
of approximately $170,000 a year over the next seven years.
o During the same period, capital expenditures of $1.1 million should be made.
Of this total, however, only $332,000 are essential; these Phase I
expenditures should be made immediately.

Summary of Lift Station Problem
August 11, 1993
With the heavy rains of May
1993, one of the lift stations at Murphy's Landing
ceased to function. Initially we contacted A ��a���thahot heas re were two
our
sewage problems in the past. Initial examinationshoot the
pumps in the holding tank, neither was working. It was decided to troufibleshoot
problem from least expensive option by checking the electrical system
st.
Additional rains added to the problem. In heavy

ex apartmentshours. The system serviced includes only the
and one public rest room. In area this is approximately one hundred feet square.
When it was determined that the pumps were not functioning, Gary Bohn,Well

options:
1. Replace the pumps with rebuilt pumps,' ere make uld be no warranty on

2. Replace the pumps as inexpensively as possible and move the electrical

to bring the station to curret
Additionally, daily pumping to keep the site open has cost $95/day. This is now
close to $10,000 because on days of heavy rain, early in the season, multiple
pumpings were required.
Total estimated cost of the project is currently $26,000.

As a result, the Landing's tax deposits for three quarters, 3d Qtr and 4th Qtr
1992 and 1st Qtr 1993,were not properly deposited. This was a net underpayment
of$28,204.22. Current interest on this amount is$922.27 and penalties amount to

Inc/Exp Description 8/31/93
To: The Shakopee City Council& Scott County Commissioners
From: Angela M. Brewer,
Former Acting Director of Historic Murphy's Landing
Date: August 10, 1993
I would like to take this opportunity to respond to statements made at the City Council Meeting of
August 3, 1993 regarding Historic Murphy's Landing. I was employed as Office Manager of the
Landing(see Attachment A: HMI,staff listings)in March, 1989. When Marge Henderson
retired as of December 31, 1991, I was appointed Acting Director through March, 1992 when Mr. •
Barker came on board and then as Assistant Director until I resigned in July of 1992. I might also
add that Ms. Henderson was hired on a consultant basis in January and February for the purpose
of developing the budget for Fiscal Year 1992-93.
Dr. Pistulka stated "Office Management has never been a bright and shining light at Murphy's
Landing as long as I've been there. Even though the previous director we had was a very bottom
line person, her office management was not the kind of office management the auditors like to
see."
The IRS conducted a field audit in 1990 covering the preceding four years. The auditor was at the
Landing for approximately 10 days. There were no audit findings. Copies of audits, done by
George M. Hansen Co. at 18 month intervals the last of which I know was provided to the city,
had no significant findings.
Dr. Pistulka goes on to say, "We never did have :.n office manager that we could call an office
manager. An office manager to me runs the office; makes sure that the tickets get counted, that
the Federal Government gets paid, n►axes sure you have policies everybody follows, makes sure
the accounting gets done, makes sure the auditor doesn't find anything, and or. and on and on. We
never had that person. We've had directors who had the knack. If they have the knack, they don't
have the time to do it."
Please see the list of"Job Duties Performed by Staff' (Attachment B), dated September, 1991.
(Also note: before leaving Murphy's Landing, I had gone over this list with the Director and staff
to help determine -4,0 would then be responsible for each of the duties.) In addition, an "Office
Time Line for 1992" (Attachment C)was in place to detail a time frame for each of the duties not
done on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
During the time from 1989 when I worked with Director Henderson, the site was well maintained
(see Attachment D: "1991 Schedule of On-Site 1Viainte nance/Restoration Projects"
and"Maintenance-1992 Schedule"). There were interpreters in the houses, knowledgeable in the
history of the houses, buildings, local history, safety and first aid. (see Attachment E: 1989
Interpretative Workshop). In addition, there was the Ganderwalk Giftshop, the General Store,
Murphy's Fine Foods Restaurant, Excursions on the Emma Lee and the Horse-Drawn Trolley
Shuttle available for tours. The office was managed by Ms. Henderson, the Director who truly did
have a "knack" for office procedures and "bottom line" management style. Everything on that site
was overseen by Ms. Henderson and she did require each and every staff member to give at least
100%and work up to their individual abilities. She demanded the stage (site) and the show be
perfect, as the word of mouth advertising was the most effective in cost as well as reaching the
marketing area.
When I started at the Landing, a new custom designed computer system was being developed and
I began using the computer for word processing, tour reservations and scheduling, memberships,
mailing lists, desk top publishing, attendance, payroll and accounting(see Attachment F:
succession of financial statements from 1989 through 1992). A personnel policy was in place
(copy can be provided at your request), a "Salary & Wage Schedule" (see Attachment G), ticket
prices and colors (see Attachment H: "1989 Rate Changes"). Every possible normal activity
conducted had a procedure and a form from residential rentals, accession and deaccession, work
orders, maintenance, membership, reservations, contracts, gate balance sheets, cash box balance
sheets, security forms, daily income reconciliation etc., etc. and these were collected and placed in
wire ring notebooks (see Attachment I: form samples or request Murphy's Landing Staff to
supply the hooks). Attendance figures and a financial report including four different reports were
sent to the Board and to the City on a monthly basis. (see Attachment J: one month sample). All
accounts payable were paid on a 30 day cash basis.
Mail outs and press releases, as well as camera ready ads were created in-house and were in place
for Weddings, Corporate Picnics, Halloween, Folkways, Memberships, School Tours, and General
Tours, etc. (see Attachment K: samples).
In addition to the continuous painting, repair, and restoration of the historic buildings on site,
improved residential rental apartments and bathroom facilities, Ms. Henderson managed to bring
the long term debt of$70,000 (from October, 1986 after the embezzlement) down to $15,000,
make major improvements including the dock and ramp area, purchase the company truck,
construct and electrify the pavilion, improve the restaurant with air conditioning, hoods, walk-in
coolers and increase the size of the kitchen area; move the ticket shack; and finally, moved in and
completed restoration of the (Stubbs Bay-Bederwood) Town Hall.
Dr. Pistulka also had stated that the Director would not retire and that the Assistant Director could
not get along with her. Ms. Henderson, to my knowledge, had wished to resign as Director for
several years, however, the Board had asked her to stay and that they would begin the nationwide
search for her replacement. The first search produced two desirable applicants who, after careful
consideration, rejected the offer for employment. A second search produced an Assistant Director
who was hired. She stayed with the site for 8-9 months, but had little or no interest in history and
was quite slow in catching on to the administrative procedures.
After Ms. Henderson resigned, a third search committee, chaired by Dr. Pistulka, was begun(see
Attachment L: "Museum Director" ad) Dr. Pistulka was very involved and I worked closely with
him in correspondence, scheduling and attending the interviews. Four candidates were selected to
interview, among them, Mr. Barker. Dr. Pistulka had addressed each applicant with a short history
including a statement of how the site has become stabilized in program and finances and we are
now in a position to grow. After Mr. Barker was chosen and hired, he began working in mid-
March. I was relieved to have a new director and to help him become accustomed to the Landing,
its current policies and procedures, and was interested in working on improvements that he had
proposed during his interview.
Mr. Barker, during the City Council Meeting was trying to represent that the $22,000 to Marquette
Bank was payroll tax related. When I left the Landing, its long term debt to Marquette was
$15,000 remaining from the 1986 debt plus an additional $7,000 loan which the Board had
approved and signed to buy out the restaurant. The $7,000 was budgeted to be paid off July 24,
1992. I would presume that the $22,000 is the long term debt owed to Marquette Bank.
Also Mr. Barker states, "When Murphy's Landing was built, somebody, in their wisdom, put in
those apartments and prepared some of the houses to be lived in in modern fashion. It is one of
the things I think makes it hard to sell Murphy's Landing to people that are giving grants as not
being a not-for-profit organization. This is one of the things Dr. Pistulka had addressed in his
letter. So about 12 people are living in historic buildings and the remainder are in regular modern
houses or apartments that are located on the site." He also said it takes 3 months to a year to
prepare a grant proposal.
Mr. Barker was hired expressly for his supposed grant writing abilities, history and educational
background. If it takes him that long to prepare a grant, he misrepresented himself at the
interview. If the apartment income caused a problem for grant proposals, it was his responsibility
to remove that detriment. If the taxes were not being paid, he needed to be responsible for that
debt, and not place blame on an accounting firm or not enough time or personnel.
I would also like to state that, for grant writing, community support can be equated into dollar
amounts for such things as: land, volunteer hours, local businesses holding corporate picnics at the
Landing, the rotary donations, Scott County Grants, and local patrons or members. I applaud the
community's support over the years and feel that Mr. Barker is remiss in his duties. He fails to
portray local support accurately at this meeting as well as in any grants if, as Dr. Pistulka stated,
"they had to stretch the facts for local support." I might also suggest that the City Council request
copies of his grant proposals and any refusal text to see why the proposal was refused.
Finally, I am including copies of my Resignation, my Request for Exit Interview, and my Exiting
Interview Outline (see Attachment M). These documents speak for themselves in the problems in
management I was seeing over a year ago. I am also attaching a copy of the ad I placed in the
August 6, 1992 edition of the Shakopee Valley News and my notarized Affidavit dated August 28,
1992 (see Attachment N) stating my concern at not being removed from the signature cards on
the Murphy's Landing accounts.
Thank you for your time and attention in reviewing my concerns for the Landing. If I can be of
any assistance, you may contact me at my home to schedule an appointment. My phone number
is 496-1253.
Sincerely,
Angela M. Brewer

Re: Resignation
This is to formally giVe the required two week notice of my
resignation from my position as Assistant Director,
Minnesota Valley Restoration. Project , Inc . , effective as of
the date above . I feel that business decisions are not
being handled with foresight , or in a businesslike manner :
accountable , and credible . My reputation is at stake since
I am the Assistant Director and handling the accounting. as
well as being a check signer. However, any advice I have
given to you, drawing from my years of experience here ,
has been disregarded. I no longer have any input , as I did
with the former Director, Marjorie Henderson, into
decisions regarding the operation, income or expenditures .
I sincerely feel that the well—being of the Landing and its
future operation is at risk when the business part of the
business is being so neglected .

Re: Request for an Exit Interview
Enclosed, please find a copy of my resignation as submitted
to Gerry Barker, Director of the Landing .
I feel it is my responsibility, at this time, to formally
request an exiting interview with the Board . I would like
to take the time to express my concerns and my insights and
explain the reasons referred to in my resignation for
leaving the Landing after having worked with the new
Director, Mr . Barker for almost four months .
I would also request that this interview be held at your
earliest convenience, prior to the July 15th Board Meeting .
The purpose of the interview is not to settle any type of
employment grievance, but only to make you aware of current
operation of the Landing.
If you are interested in attending this interview, please
contact me at the office of Historic Murphy' s Landing
( 445-6901 ) on Monday or Tuesday, June 29th or 30th to
arrange a convenient time to meet . I would request that
Mr . Barker not be present at the interview. I have already
repeatedly discussed my concerns with Mr . Barker and
therefore, he is quite aware of all the topics that I will
be discussing with you.
I was open minded to the new policies,
anthe
way Barker wanted to change Murphy's Lanndingdand swelcomed
not being in charge . However, I feel the organization,
and credibility that has been built up over the last
several years is being deteriorated .

AFFIDAVIT OF ANGELA M. BREWER
STATE OF MINNESOTA }
} SS.
COUNTY OF SCOTT }
Angela M.Brewer,being duly sworn,deposes and says:
1. On June 23, 1992,after working with the new Director of Historic Murphy's Landing,Mr.
Gerry Barker,for almost four(4)months,I submitted the two week notice of my resignation to Mr.
Barker and copy to the Board of Trustees. My resignation was due primarily to Mr.Barker's
inability to make business decisions,to be accountable,his disregard for the approved budget and
neglecting the importance of contracts and time deadlines.
2. An Exit interview was held on July 8, 1992 with the Board of Trustees as I had requested in my
memo dated June 25, 1992. My concerns for the Landing,under Mr. Barker's direction were
thoroughly discussed at that meeting.
3. As Acting Director,thereafter Assistant Director,I had been given check signing authority in
January of 1992. After resigning,I requested of John Manahan and the Board,that my name be
removed from the signature cards (checking and savings accounts).
4. My last day of employment with the MVRP,Inc. was July 7, 1992.
5. I placed an ad in the August 5, 1992 Shakopee Valley News under"NOTICES" as follows:
"As of July 7, 1992 I am no longer responsible as a signatory on any accounts or debts
incurred by Minnesota Valley Restoration Project,Inc. (dba as Historic Murphy's Landing).
Angela M.Brewer"
6. At the two Board of Trustees meetings following my resignation,held July 15 and August 19,
1992,no effort was made to remove my name from the signature cards for the checking or savings
accounts.
7. On Tuesday,August 18,I called Mr.Manahan's Office to remind him that my name should be
removed by resolution at the August 19th meeting. Mr. Manahan was unable to take my call so I
left the reminder message and my phone number with his secretary. Mr.Manahan did not phone
me.
8. Sunny Bjorklund Schultz,who was to take over my financial secretarial duties resigned within the
month of July as she felt Mr. Barker was not handling finances credibly. Also,Betty Pink,who had
worked at Murphy's Landing for three years,also resigned from the Landing in July because the
current disorganization of the Landing made it impossible for her to carry out her clerical duties.
9. I feel that remaining on as a signatory,with Mr. Barker in control of the finances of the Minnesota
Valley Restoration Project,Inc. ldba Historic Murphy's Landing,places my reputation and
credibility in jeopardy, as well as my personal financial stability in danger. As I am no longer an
employee,I have no input or ability to control any finances,which is the reason for my resignation
from employment. I feel it is likely that Mr. Barker and his current staff may fail to return IRS,
payroll,or tax payments in a timely manner,but I would have no knowledge or ability to effect any
changes to Mr.Barker's decisions. Mr.Barker could walk away from the Landing with no
financial resonsibilities as he is not a check signer and there would be no legal recourse for his
mismanagement of the finances.
10.My check signing authority ended on July 7, 1992,along with my employment at Minnesota
Valley Restoration Project,Inc.
Further Affiant saith not.
