THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF THIS PROPERTY IS LdT 7� BLOCK 3� RICE CREEK TERRACEs PLAT 4. MOTION by Mr. Langenfeld, seconded by Ms. Modig, to open the Public Hearing. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. The Public Hearing was opened at 7:45 P.M. Mr. Robert Nelson of 524 Rice Creek Terrace NE was present at the meeting. Mr. Nelson said that the outside dimensions of his attached garage was 20 by 20 feet. He said that he needed the extra space because he owned three cars, two motorcycles, snowblo�ver, lawnmower, and various other items. He said that everything would not fit into his present garage., He said that he would be rrilling to place the garage on either the rear Northeast or the Southeast corner of his lot. He said that if it euas positioned on the Southeast edge of his lot the driveway would go out onto 68th Avenue.rather than onto Rice Creek Terrace. Ms. Schnabel asked if Mr. Nelson planned to use either of the garages for any type of home business (ie repair work� etc). Mr. Nelson said that it would be used only for the storage of his belongings. He said the only repair work done tivould be what he would do on his own cars and engines such as oil changing or tune- ups. PLANNING COMMISSION MEFTING - JULY 26, 1978 Pa�e 2 Mr, Nelson pointed out that PJestern Garage Company would be building the second accessory building. Mr. Boardmari explained the setbacks that would have to be adhered to if the garage would be positioned at the Southeast Corner of Mr. Nelson�s lot. He also explained v�hy the garage should not be placed at the Plortheast corner. He said that once the setbacks were met� there tivould be very little room left for a drive-way going to the rear Northeast corner. Mr. Langenfeld asked if Mr. Nelson now wanted the Planning Commission to consider the positioning of the garage at the Southeast Rear Corner of the 1ot u2th access to the garage off of 68th Avenue; Mr. Nelson said that he would position the garage at the rear Southeast Corner of his lot. Mr. Doran Eding�r of 536 Rice Creek Terrace said that he was not in favor of the garage being constructed at the rear Northeast corner of the lot rrith the driveti�ray off of Rice Creek Terrace. Ho�vever� he said that he did not object to the location of the �arage at the Southeast corner of the lot vrith access off of 8th Avenue. He said that he did believe that Mr. Nelson needed the additional space and he did not object to his having a second accessory building. He said that he could not anticipate any problems. Mr. Dan Gourde of 6800-7th Street NE said that if the garage was placed at the Southeast corner of Mr. Nelson's lot� it would be adjacent to his house and garage. He pointed out that his garage was 50-6o feet from the street. He said that if the building was allo�ved� he �vould evant the garage placed at the same setback as his garage so that there would be an even line of sigi�t. He also pointed out that the curbing on that street were very new and he really hated to see it ripped up so soon, Mr. Gourde szid that there �vas already a driveivay to the North o£ his property line. He said that he did not like the idea of having t�vo drivetivays abutting his property. He felt that they wouZd act as a detriment to the value of his house. Mr. Gourde said that he was opposed to having the drive�ray off of 68th Avenue. .He felt that the neighborhood ��as already developed and the rear yards rrere presently all open. He said that there vrere no other buildings located in the rear yards and he didn�t want to see a precedent set by allowing the construction of the second accessory building. PLANNING COMMISSION M�PTIPIG - JULY Z6 t 8 Pa.e Mr. Richard Larson oF 506 Rice Creek Terrace said that he was mainly concerned about the adverse effect of property values on the adjacent land orvners. FIe said that the rear yards were relatively open and there were no other buildings located in the rear yards. He said that the construction of the garage at that location ti��ould cause the removal of a tree and he didn�t believe that v�ould be good for the aesthetics of the property. He said �hat even though Mr. Nelson didn�t plan on any outside business being conducted, the property could change hands and the ne�v owner could decide differently. Mr. Larson said that any detached building was undesirable. He felt that the adverse effect of property values should be considered in the Planning Commission's deeision. Mr. Do�vie Bouma of 525 Rice Creek Terrace said that he was also concerned about the adverse effect of property values. He said that mosi people had items that they can't store in their garages. He said that through-out the area there lvere storage tiararehouses that vrere built for the main intent of aiding property o��ners in being able to store items that they didn't have room to store at their residents, He suggested that Mr. Nelson store any seasonal items in one of ihe erarehouses. Mr. Richard Fischbach of 6810-7th Street NE said that Mr. Nelson presently had a nice rear yard. He said if he put the garage in the rear yard he would have to take out some fencing and some trees, He really didn�t feel that the garage tvould look nice and the adjacent neighbor should not have to look at a garage. The entire openess of the area would be gone. Mr. Nelson e�tplained to the Commission the contour of his lot. He indicated hovr he planned to position the garage. He did not fael that the garage could possibly cause any undue hardship to the adjacent neighbors. He said that the top of the garage ��rould not be much oner the natural incline already present on the lot. Iie said that the tree that seemed io concern the nei�hbors rras a weeping crillovr tree that had to be tzken donm anyivay . He said that whether or not the garage Nould be located at that location� the tree vrould still be removed. Mr. Nelson explained how he came to buy: in the area. He said that he presently considered remaining in that house for a long time. He said that there lvere no plans in the future of a move. He said that they now had a house and an area that he and his iamily liked. MOTION by Mr. Langenfeld, seconded by Mr. Storla� to close the Public Hearing. Upon a voice vote� all voting aye� the motion carried unanimoulsy. The Public Hearing cvas closed at 8:19 P.M. PLANNING COt�rtISSIOPI t�[F�TIDIG - JULY 26. 1978 Pa�e 4 Mr. Langenfeld indicated that he was weighing both �ides in trying to make a fair decision. He felt that the accessory building should be compatible �vith the surrounding area. He said that it was the property owners yard. He aleo said that if Mr. Nelson did not have an accessory building� he could very vrell store the items in the yard. He said that he caas concerned about the aesthetic value of the area. Chairperson Harris pointed out that the burden of proof for denial ti��as upon the city, He said that in the case of a denial the Commission ti+rould have to list the reasons. MOTION by Mr. Langenfeld� seconded by Mr. Storla� to recommend approval of the request for a Special Use Permit� SP �78-06 by Robert Nelson: Per I'ridley City Code� Section 205.051�2�A� to allow the construction of a second accessory building, a 24 foot by 24 foot detached garage at 524 Rice Creek Terrace NE. The legal description of this property is Lot 7� Block 3, Rice Creek Terrace, Plat Q, vrith the stipulatiors that the garage be located at the Southeast corner of the rear lot r�ith access off of 68th Avenue and that all easement and setback requirements are met; and that the alignment of the second accessory building be as closely as possible �vith the abbutting property oevners structure tivithout causing undue hardship on the petitioner, Chairperson Harris suggested that Staff help ivork out the best location possible for the second accessory building. Mr. Langenfeld read a portion of a memorandum from the City Attorney to the City Council regarding Special Use Permits; �tIf evidence is presented at the hearing that the requested use is compatible ��ith the basic use authorized �=rithin the particular zone and does not endanger the public health� safety� or general x�elfare of the area effected or the coramunity as a tivhole and complies with such other standards as specified, the Special IIse Permit should be granted and a denial r•aould be deemed arbitrary, unlawful� and in violation of the applicant�s constitutional rights.�� Mr. Gourde v�anted the driveti�ay accessing the second accessory building to be the same as Fiis driverJay. He rranted some excavating done so that there �vould not be the four foot drop from his property to the proposed drine1ray. Ma. Schnabel felt that it would be an un&ue hardship to the applicant. Mrs. Marilyn Larson of 506 Rice Creek Terrace said that the additional driveway onto 68th Avenue would cause a safety hazard. She said that 68th Avenue was a well traveled street and she wanted that considered if the drive�vay tivas to be allowed. She also pointed out that the area vras developed �vith homes having attached �arages. She said that by allov�ing Mr. Nelson to construct a separate building in the rear of the property may set a precedent. She said that if everyone decided to have the second accessory building� the area would become very aesthetically unpleasing. P7ANNING COMT4ISSION MrFTING - JULY 26, 1978 Pa�e_ 5__ Mrs. Larson pointed out that the slope of the land in question was an impo�tant issue. 5he said that problems could develop if the garage vaas constructed without considering the lay of the land. Mr. Langenfeld pointed out to the people opposing the motion that he had weighed all the statements and concerns expressed by all the people. He said that he had to abide by the rules and even after listening to everything being said he did not feel there would be enough information to deny the request. Mr. Storla said that Mr. Nelson had seemed very flexible v�ith anything that ��ras being suggested. He said that he wanted the garage and tivas agreeable to whatever stipulations the Commission wanted to put on the approval. , Mr, Langenfeld said that the request vrould go before the City Council on August 7, 1978. He told the people in the audience that they should also attend that meeting. Chairperson Harris said that the action of the Planning Commission was to recommend an action to the City Council. Chairperson Harris explained that Mr. Nelson would have to abide and adhere to all the Building Codes. He said that the construction, the materials used, and the general design of the accessory building would have to conform to the existing structure and would have to be approved by the Bui]:ding Department. Chairperson Harris said that he did not share the concern of the grade differential as tvas alluded to by some of the neighbors. Fie said that he did look at the property previous to the meeting and he said that the minimum grade of the structure �uould have to be 18 inches to ttivo feet. He said that with those statistics the grade differential vrould only be approximately 3 feet, He said that it appeared there ��ras enough land bettiveen the structures that the accessory building could easily be handled. Chairperson Harris said that he did share the concern of the surrounding property o�aners that a precedent could possibly be set. He said that the Commission had to keep in mind that the Special Use Permit 4vas granted to the property and not the person. He said that he �vas not certain that'the structure r�ould be in concert tiaith the rest of the neighbcrhood; however� he said that with Mr, Langenfeld�s reading of the directive from the City Attorney� the Planning Commission wasn�t left vrith much choice because there tivas no real proof that the construction of the second accessory building �vould be a health� safety, or general vrelfare hazard to the nei�hborhood� He said it vrould be very difficult for the Planning Commission to deny the reguest. PL[1NNING CONR�fISSIOPt MPPTING - JULY 26,� 1978 Pa�e 6 Mr. Boardman said that home occupations are not allolved to be carried on in accessory buildings. Iie said that if anyone did conduct a bu�iness out of an accessory building they v�ould be in violation of the City Ordinances. Mr. Nelson said that a complain� from any of the tteighbors that they felt a business was being carried on in the accessory buiTding would bring im�ediate action from the City. UPON A VOICE VOTE� all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. The Planning Commission�s recommendation for approval of Special Use Permit, SP #78-06� rJith stipulations was sent on to City Council. 2. S AS MEASURED liLONG THE NORTH I,INE� OF LOT 1� BLOCK 2� HAYES RIV�R LOTS. THIS PARCEL '�7ILL BE ADDRESSED AS 140 CHARLES STRE�T NE, Mr. Boardman said that there tvas seti�er and tivater in Charles Street. He said that the property in question �vas zoned as R-3. He said that vrith the split off of the property, there would be approximately 10�500 square feet of land that could be developed with a duplex or triplex. He said that there was an existing house on Lot B. Mr. Naara said that the intent was to split off the cresterly 100 feet of -Lhe existing lot. He said that the plans rrere to develop Parcel A w�ith either a duplex or a triplex. He said that the triplex i�ould only be considered if a suitable plan could be found. Mr. Boardman said that the City �vould require five foot easements on all sides of the lots. In addition, he said that the existing utility easement along parcel B be extended to 20 feet to alloti�r for Bikerray/'�lalkeray easements as �rell as the drainage and utility easements. Ci�airperson Harris asked if they came up rrith a triplex plan that could meet all the parking and easements condition� ivould that be planned for the lot. Mr. VVaara said that basically a duplex was being considered. He said that from an investors standpoint, they �vould like a triplex; ho�vever� he crasn�t sure iha� all the requirements could be met on that particular lot. Mr. �'�aara said that they were requesting a lot �plit and that they would work out the details with the Building Department. PLANNING COMM7S�ION MPPTTNG 7UJY 26, 1978 Pa�e 7 MOTION by Mr. Langenfeld, seconded by Ms. Schnabel, that the Planning Commission recommend appdinalRealtye rSplit�offrtheLot Split� LS �{7$-04� By Rod �Jaara� Plest 100 feet of the East 200 feet as measured along the north line of Lot 1� Block 2, Iiayes River Lots.

Upon a voice vote� all voting aye� the motion carried unanimously, 3. CONTINU�D: LNFRGY PROJECT COP•R•4ITTE� DISCUSSION A. Geneva Harper, State of Minnesota Energy Agency Ms. Harper had an emergency in her family and v�as not able to appear before the Planning Commission on July 26� 1978. Mr. Boardman suggested that the Planning Commission act on the Energy Project Committee and to consider using Ms. Harper as an information resource £or the Energy Project Committee. B. Review Scope Mr. Boardman indicated that the ad for membership on the Energy Committee had been put in several nerrspapers as we11 as on the Reader Board in front of City Hall and on Cabel TV. ?ie said that the resbonse had been slovt but believed it vaould improve as people had more time to give it some ihought. Ms, Schnabel said that she had talked to several people regardin� the Energy Project Committee. One of the people ��ras Pat Brennan of the League of �'Jomen Voters. Ms. Brennan recommended that the The Energy Project Committee get in contact �aith the l�noka County Communi�y Action Program resources. This Program has done much on the subject of Energy. Ms. Schnabel suggested that the group be contacted either as a possible membersr,ip on the Energy Project Committee or as a resource. Mr. Storla referenced the Riglzt to Light Bill. He said that the bill gave the authority to the City to '�ake erhatever measures necessary to protect anyone vrho rrould plan tc utilize solar collectors, etc. to help in the conservation of energy. Mr. Storla felt that one of the things that the Snergy Project Committee should do is come up tivith an�nergy Plan for the City and have the "Right to Li�ht�� a part of the regulations. �"a � PLI�NNIPdG COP4MI�SIOPd M�ETITIG - JULY 26 1978 Pa�e 8 P4r, Boardman said that it ��ouldn�t necessarily be the function of the �nergy Project Committee to develop certain regulations. He ��id that it v�ould be trheir responsibility to make recomraendations to the Planning Commission for action to the City Council for the specific directbn of an�nergy Policy. Chairperson Harris said that it riould be the responsibility of the �nergy Project Committee to develop an energy policy for the City of I'ridley and not to develop ordinances. Mr. Langenfeld felt that the Right to Light Bill should be incorporated in every existing ordinance that was applicable Ms. Schnabel felt that the Energy Project Committee could develop ener�y conservation ideas �vith the goal that the citizens of Fridley could obtain a�reduction of energy consu�ption. Chairperson Harris said that ti��ould be included in ihe implementation phase of the Committee. Mr. Langenfeld rvanted to knoe� what �vas the point in the discussion that took place at the July 11� 1978, Community Develobment Commission meeting regarding the Ener�y Project Committee. Ms. Modig said it was decided that most people don't really believe that there is an energy problem. She said that the Commission basically hoped somethixig more specific could be recommended to the citizens to help them reduce the consumption of energy. Ms. Modig personally felt that there should be some provision in the tax system that crould give people tax credit ��rhen they do an energy saving procedure to their homes rather than re- assessing the property and raising their taxes. Chairperson Harris said that some energy saving projects can be used as income tax reductions. Mr. Boardman said that as long as the taxes are based on the assessed evaluation and if someone isn�t paying their share of the market assessed value of their property because they tivere getting a credit on that assessed value, the amount that the person receiving the credit doesn't pay has to be passed off to someone else. He didn�t believe that anyone could expect any credits on assessed evaluations because they produce an energy consumption reduction improvement to their homes. PLANNItdG COMi4I.`'iSIOPd MET'TItTG JUIY 26� 1978 Pa{,*e �- -- Mr. Lan�enfeld said that if people drere going to be assessed for making an energy saving improveaent in their homes, then it �vould seem that the eJhole purpose vaould be destroyed. Mr. Boardman said that many people are installing energy saving devices because the cost o£ energy is going up and even though they rrould be.assessed they v�ould probably be saving in the long run because of the high cost of energy. MOTION by P�s. Schnabel, seconded by Mr. Storla� to adopt the Scope of the Energy Project Committee of the Planning Commission as ti�ritten. Upon a voice vote� all voting aye� the motion carried unanimously, L}. COPtTINU�D: PROPOS�D ATOTSE CONTROL ORDIPIANC� Mr. Langenfeld siated that the Proposed Noise Control Ordinance rras enforceable. MOTION by Mr. Langenfeld, seconded by P�r. Storla� to receive the T4innesota State Regulations regarding the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency� Noise Pollution Control Section� and the Snotnnobile Requirements� Section 124.07. Upon a voice vote� all voting aye� the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Boardraan said that he crould locate all the referenced documents and have copies sent to the Comsaission members. Mr. Boardman said that Sec. 124.0� General Testing and Measurement Procedu.res listed on Page 29 shou].d be reti��orded to say� "..,shall be kept on file at City Hall by City Official." Mr. Boardman indicated that the first part of the statement under Sec 121�.04t "The City Of£icial sha11 ado�t guidelines establishing the test procedures and instruraeniation to be utilized.,.." should be a policy set up that could be revievred. He didn't feel it should be iotally set up by a City Official. Mr. Boardman said that the first statement on the top of page 1�0 Naise Impact 5tatement� should be deleted from the text. Mr. Boardman said that there should be very strict guidelines set up to judge ti��hether or not a Noise Impact Statement lrould be required. Chairperson Harris said that when a City started laying down limits� they had best be sure of what is actually being talked about. He felt that the PCA was vague on some items. PL�rrrrzrrG cot�zssTOrr Mr?:T7rrG - Juz,Y 26, 197II P�r�e io Mr. Boardman said that there v�ere certain things in the Noise Ordinance that are �ood to have a control on� but he said that the control was already in the Zoning Ordinance. He said there would be no.t�ay to reduce the noise level of a road system without changing all the tires� all the road surface patterns� etc. Mr. Langenfeld suggested that v�hen they received all the copies of the documents from Mr. Boardman� the Commission members should review them and then decide exactly hoti�r they felt about the entire package. Mr. Boardman said that throughout the Ordinance the term ��Noise Officer" tivas used. He suggested changing the term to �'City Official��. Mr. Boardman said that Item D� Comprehensive Plan� on Page 41 should be termed� +�Site Plan��. Mr. Boardman referenced Sec. 124.07, Snowmobile Requirements, Page 41. He said that it ��ras mentioned that the Sno��rmobile Ordinance be amended to include the noise regulations. Mr. Boardman said that the noise regulaiion should be in this document vrith the mention of the re�ulation in the Snol��mobile Ordinance. Iie explained that the reasoning �aas that it �aould be much less confusing and less complicated to bring these ordinances into this document� than to take these ordinances and put them into the Snoti^rmobile Ordinance and then document this Noise Ordinance �or these regulations. Mr. Boardman explained that several items of reference had to be deleted because the Sections referenced did not exist. IInder section 121�.08, Operatinna_l I,imits� Item (a)� there ti�ras no Section 8.68; Item (b) there �vas no Section 10.2g.02. Mr. Boardman referenced page t�2� Section 12y..09� Public Nuisance Noises Prohibited. He said that enforcement of the entire section �rould be impossible. He read over several of the items and explained ti�rhy they erould be unenforceable. Mr. Boardman referenced Section 121�.10 Exceptions� on page 43. He said that if there vrould be any exceptions to the rules� that decision cannot be made by a Staff person. He said that the exceptions had to be done by due process that ti�tould have a set procedure. Mr, Langenfeld said that he tvas not very pleased tivith the Noise Ordinance. pLnNrrzNr COr1�175SI0N MFPT7TIG - JUTY 26, 1978 Pa�;e 11 Mr. Boardman Naid that possibly �ahat should be done is to take the different sections of the Pioise Ordinance and incorporate them �Rrith already existin� Ordinances. Iie said that the part of the Nois.e Ordinance dealing vrith Snovrmobiles could be incorporated in the Snovnnobile Ordinance� and the section regarding industrial noises could be included in the Zoning Ordinance� and so on. MOTION by r4s. Schnabel, seconded by Ms. Modig� to table the Proposed Noise Control Ordinance until it can be put together in some other form� Upon a voice vote, Mr. Storla, 2is. P�fodig� Mr. Aarris, and ids. Schnabel voting aye� Mr. Lan�enfeld abstaining� the motion carried� 5. .x .. '� Mr. A. L.Messerli of 5505 ?Uest Danube Road, was present at the meeting regarding this item. Mr.riesserli reviec�ed the correspondence that had taken place regarding the area in question. Copies of the exhibits were included ��ith the Agenda Package. Mr.Messerli indicated that he had become interested in the subjeci a couple of years ago� along with many neighbors. He said that they became atvare of various lots that pertained to public vretlands. Ae said that he talked to the DNR and P4r. Ronald D. Harnack� the Regional Hydrologist,had issued one of the exhibited letters to Mr. Darrell Clark indicating that the lots in question c�ere Type III 1Jetlands and should be considered Public 69aters. Mr. Langenfeld said that the entire Environmental Ruality Commission took a tour of ihe area. He said they ti�ere concerned because sorae of the 1�aetlands are being filled right now r•rith "junk�� (cement� foundry Castings� 50 gallon drums� etc.). Chairperson Harris said that the County was very specific on the type of fill that can be used for fill. Mr. Boardman said that if the person doing the dumping �vas caught� the City �vould make that person remove rrhat lras dumped. He pointed out that it rras quite impossible to +�catch�� the guilty people. Mr. Messerii �sked if Building Permits had been issued for any of the lots in question. He also �vanted to knoiv if land could be filled vrithout the issuance of Builcling Permits. He pointed out that at least 50 laxge truck loads of fill have been put into the lots. PLANNING COP'RTISSIOid P4PPTING - JU7Y 26 197II Pa�e 12 Mr. Langenfeld said that durin� the �nvironmeni;al Quality Commission�s tour� they all observed the debriU on the lots in question. FIe said that the entire commission lvanted to rectify rfhat is happening. He said that it ivas not only happening in this particular area� but throu�hout the City of Fridley. He said that they also discovered that several permits that had been iseued had not been adhered to as far as draina�e� etc. Mr. Langenfeld indicated that !'Jetlands definitely served a purpose. He said that if the lota in question lvere classified as Type III l'JetlandU� then a DNR permit had to be granted. Ae said that there was definitely a��i=rrong�� situation in Innsbruck North. P4r. Langenfeld said that the issue at hand rras to try to impose a moratorium to ha7.t any further dumpin� in the area until all ite�ns are carefully considered. He pointed out that if the moratorium was re£used� he has been requested by the �nvironnental Quality Commission to tiarite a letter to the City �ttorney to get an injunction to stop any further fill until the question is clarified. Mr. Boardman pointed out that if the DNR issued a permit to fill t�retlandsy then it behooved the City of Fridley to also issue the permit to fill the ti•retlands. Mr.Messerli said that he tiras sure that the DNR had not issued any permit for one of ihe lots in question that dumping vras occurring on. Mr.rtesserli indicated that several of the t�etlands in the area have already been dredged and filled. He said that some of them had to be dredged to a depth of 35 feet and then filled. He gave some examples of the construction that has occurred in the past on lots in the designated lfretland areas. Ae said that some of the homes had basically no rear yard area. Mr. Langenfeld presented the question for thought that once all the v�etlands were filled in� vrhere ��ill the »ater run-off go. Mr. Boarclman referred to the Drainage Report that had been made by Suburban �ngineering. Ae said that a drainage system for Innsbrucl� North had been set up rrith the understandin; that all the lots rrould be developed. He said that the Drainage Syster� ti��as approved by the Rice Creek l'Jater Shed District. He said that there r�as a syutem of ponding areas set up to taYe care of all the v�ater run-off. He said that the �•rater would eventually end up in Long Lake �rhich is a feeder for the Rice Creek. � PLANNZNG �OMMISSION MrPTITdr, - JULY 26, 1978 Pa�e 13 Ms. Modig wanted to know v✓hat the purpo�e was in dec�aring the land Type III Wetlands if they are going to allow permits to build on the land. Mr. Boar@man said that the regulations that designated the land as Marsh Developments did not take effect until after the Platting was approved in the development. One of the requirements of the development was to handle all the storm lvater if any Marsh Land/ Wetland areas were to be filled in. A Storm �Tater Plan had to be developed. He said there was a question at the time the Plat was approved as to vahether the land was actually classified as �Netlands, He said that under the F.nvironmental Quality Commission it was required to get an Environmental Assessment Statement on any marsh areas or combination of Marsh Areas in excess of five acres, He said that the City received a letter from the DP1R stating that they could not issue any building permits on the Gletlands area because they were protected State public waters, He said that the BNR �vas informed by Fridley that if they required the City not to issue building permits �in v�ri�tin� , then the City tivould not do so. Hoi�ever, he said that if �he State issued a permit and the City vrould not issue a building permit, then the City would be invoZved in a legal issue because a contractor had purchased the property and the City vras not allowing building on that property, Mr. Boardman said that the reason for the unequal assessment was because the developer had asked the City of Fridley to spread the assessments off the Wetlands lots onto other.lots so that the Wetland lots could more easily/economically be developed. Chairperson Harris explained that the reasoning behind the unequaZ assessments was that the City of Fridley was afraid that if the assessments were spread equally, it would only be obvious that the better land would be built on first and it would have been possible that the Iots in question vrould have land costs, plus special assessments which �vould make the cost of the land so high that the petitioner may let the land go tax forfeit, He said that the City of Fridley �vas afraid that they would be "stuck" tivith approximately fifteen lots. Mr. Langenfeld said that the main point trying to be made is that the houses being built on the wetland lots are having water problems, He said that if the lands are being filled, the �vater has to go someplace and someone will be having critical problems with'water. �� PLANNING COMMISuIOPd MPRTIN� - JTJLY 7_6 1�'J8 Pa�e 14 Chairperson Harris said that there were rtipulations on the plat, He said that one of those stipulations waU that basements had to be put in 18 inches above the medium water table. He said that should someone decide to put the basement in at a level less than the stipulation, then that person will have water problems, Mr,Messerli said that he has been led to believe that building permits have already been issued for Block 3� Lots 5, 6, & 7. He can't imagine hovr homes could actually be built on those lots. Mr. Boardman wanted to know the intent of requesting the Moratorium. Mr. Langenfeld said that main reason tivas to prevent any further dumping on the lots, He said they also vaanted a thorough study of the lvetlands to see what impact it would have on the surrounding homes and on the entire environment. Mr.Messerli said that he was sure that the problems are most likely t�rith the DNR. He said that perhaps the City tivould have some influence. Chairperson Harris explained�that without the DNR/State directing the City not to issue those permits, then the City vaas in a difficult position not to issue the permits. Chairperson Harris said that the discussion v�as on approximately 3z acres of land or approximately eight feet of �vater, He said that the existing ponding system shotl.d adequately handle that much water. However� he said that the fact is th2t there is t��ater up to property or�ners doorsteps. He said that it is evident that there is something ivrong. He said that before much more is done, the reason for that type of situation should be looked into, Chairperson Harris said that the dumping of +�junk�� on those lots had to be stopped. Mr. Boardman said that it was very difficult to control the practice of dumping on vacant lots. He said that many times people are known to be dumping and the City informs them that they have to remove the dumped items; however� he said that the people ignore the order. Ms. Schnabel said that if it evas discovered that a particular contractor was in constant violation of a City Ordinance, the City had the authority to fine those contractors. Mr, Boardman said that the City had the right to remove his license to operate in the City of Fridley. � PIANNI1dG COMMISSION MPPTING - JULY ?_6, 1978 Pa�;e 15 Mr.Mess�zJ:i caanted to know why the contractor could be using the land for fill lvhen building permits had not been issued. Chairperson Harris said that there vras a possibiiity that the contractor had a land alteration permit from the City. He said that the contractor had to have some type of permit to latvfully be filling in land. Mr. Langenfeld said that it �Jas not the intent to stop any development, but to have the wrong correc�ed. MOTION by Mr. Langenfeld, seconded by Ms, Schnabel, that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the request for a Moratorium on Lot Development in Innsbruck North Addition from Environmental QuaZity Commission: Block 2, Lots 4,5, &6; Block 3� Lots 5� 6� & 7 for the period of one year or less rvith the instructions for City Council to appoixit the proper governing body to inve�tigate ihe problems. Mr. Langenfeld said that he v�ould also like to incorporate the fact that the fill must come to a halt and that the wrong being done can be halted. Mr. Langenfeld quoted a portion of the Interim Development Control Ordinance� Effective Period. "The t�tunicipal and County Planning Acts both provide that an Interim Control Ordinance may be made effective for only a period of one year subject to a one year reneival thereafter. !itithin this limit the effective period for a Control Ordinance should be only as long as the expected time it would take to coc�plete the Conprehensive Plan and subsequent zoning amendments. The period of effect should be clearly stated in the body of the Ordinance and if the Planning and Zoning amendments have been completed prior to the expiration of the Control Ordinance� the governing body should void the effect of the Control Ordinance ti�rhen it adopts the Zoning amendments,° Mr. Langenfeld said that there should be an immediate stopping of the dumping in the lots in question. Mr, Boardman said that the dumping woul"d be stopped nowrr He said that the dumping r�as already in violation of a City Ordinance. Ms, Schnabel said that the dumpzng on the lots was one of the situations that the Staff could have stopped immediately. She said that there vrould be a one year moratorium to have proper officials of the City Staff as �vell as the City Council itself to adopt an attitude that there would be no further development in the areas designated as rretlands until either a study is made or the current study is reassessed or the DNR makes a committment so there would be no future homes built on the particular lots. -��. PLANNIPIG COTRMI;SIOA1 MPl'sTIPIG - JTJTY 26 1978 Pa�e 16 Chairperson Harris said that on the lots that already have permits is�ued� it would be very difficult to stop the development. Mr. Lan�enfeld said that at least an avrareness has been created� He said tha't it is most obvious that someone is not doin� their job�ri�ht. He said that a gross mistake was Made by someone; Mr. Langenfeld asked that Mr, Boardman report his findings regarding the dumpin� on the lots in question back to the Planning Commission, Mr. Boardman agreed to report his findings to the Planning Commission. IIPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. The Moratorium on Lot Development in Innsbruck North Addition �vas recommended for approval to the City Council. 6.

BOARDMAN �/ FROM; VIRGIL C. RERRICK ��" RE: DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, MEMORANbUM OF AGREEPiENT Zn response to your inquiry, City of Frid2ey Ordinance No. 584, Fridley City Code �5101,09 provides a very general definition of permissible.activities for "Project Committees" of the Human Resources Commission: "�5101.09 Project Committees The Commission may establish special project committees to further the objectives of the Commission and provide for greater citizen participation. Such project committees may be appointed by the Commission for special projects and shall cease to exist when their activities are completed. The qualifications for membership, composition and duties of such project committees shall be at the discretion of the commission. The project committee shall be chaired by a m�mber of the Commission.° Although the underlined portion may appear to give the Commissiott itself the power to effectuate the formation of an administrative body to process the discrimination complaints, the best overall interpretation seems to indicate that the City Council has definite autnority to direct the project committee in question to handle the administrative end of the proposed memorandum of agreement. I see no legal restriction that would prevent a project committee from handling this assignment. Regarding any "legal ramifications" of entering into the agreement with the Department of Human Rights, the proposed memorandum is, at best, quasi- contractual in nature. The City agrees to perform certain administrative and conciliatory tasks for.the Department. Apparently, the Department has offered its expert legal assistance as to interpretation of Minnesota Statutes @363 (1976), and aIl necessary forms and documents; the City merely supplies the place and personnel to provide initiation procedures and to negotiate a possible settlement of differences between the parties. The Department retains its responsibility for any steps beyond that. In the minutes of the Planning Commission meeting of July 12, 1978, Page 12, Mr. $ilI Scott proposes that the Iandlord be present when the tenant's initial complaint is made. If this is to he considered, I think that the concurrence of the Human Rights Department should be obtained before imp2ementation of this requirement. . , , , � . _ , • .� . - :� � °. . �(� � , _. - },:' . . � = : .

REPORT FROM TSNANT/LP.NDLORD PROJECT CO:�A'iITTE�: Mr. Dobson stated that there had not been a Tenant/Landlord ProjecC Committee meeting since the last Commission meeting; therefore, he did not have anything to report. The next meeting arould be 3u1y 17, 1973, at City Ilall. Iia stated he was going before Planning Co�ission on July 12th with the "ifemorandum of Agreement". liUMhN 1tES0II1:CIiS CGT9MISSI�:� MtiETIidG, JULY 6, I978 - PAGE 2 Regardin� the Memorandu;n of Agreement, Mr. Sl'orla asked if tl.xe membership of the Canmittee would be opened up to the Human Resour.ces Corrunission? Mr. Dobson stated that he thought it would be a good idea to do that. He would take that matter up at the next- Tenant/Landlord Yroject Coaunittee meeting for discussion, Uut he was sure it would be acceptable. Mr. Dobson staT.ed that one proUlem that had come up was that Fridley Terrace had a dealership with double-wide homes znd they were moving people_ out for these double-wide homes. He stated he would be taking this up at the neat Tenant/Landlord Project Committee meeting also. The person who owned the trailer court was a member of the ccrnmittee. Mr. Storla asked if P2r. Dobson had always been the chairperson of the Tenant/Laredlord Project Co�ittee. Mr. Scott stated that when the Tenant/Landlord Project Coumiittee was finally organized, Mr. Dobson and Pir. Jolzn Swanson were co-chairpersons. Then, L-he two chairpe.rsons, along with the rest of the committee, decided it would be better to have only one chairperson. That chairperson was Mr. Dcbson. Mr.. Stor7.a stated tLat the Tenznt/Laadlorci ProjecL' Conm:ittee uu�o had thr.es recommei,da*_ions. (1) lAeme-ra�adum of Agreev��nt; (^) �rfiitratioa Fanel; and (3) City Sta_f. Per�oa.

IiISTORY OF Ht7I�5AN RESQURCES COMTfi5SI0N -- WILLIF�1 SCOTT: Mr. Storla stated that he would 7.ike Mr. Scott to talk aUout his philo- sophy of the Human Resources Commission when Mr. Scott was both chairperson and member of the Commission. Mr, 5cott stated that when the Human Resources Couunission was organized in May of 1975, it �aas his personal opinion that the Commission was the most vital and viable commissiom for citizezi input that existed in the community. It was the vehicle to affect importanl' clianges in the cc�munity. He stated that the rest of the commission members a1I shared that same view. They all felt that none of them were "experts" in any field. They were all concerned, but all had different philosophies. Mr. Scott stated that, at this same time, the city was trying to estaUlish goals and objectives. The Commission felt the best way to attack the problem was to launch, as a Coma:ission, a program to inform.themselves about hoca responsible bodies went about solving problems and to £ind out what iieeded aCtention in the community. Mr. Scott stated that the first put together a seminar called "Fridley Futures°. They took different areas and had professionals in each area come in and speak. It was st•arted by having Metropolitan Council speak HU;✓�ltld RGSO�tCTiS CU'17�1T�SIC7N I��TIP]Gt JUf a G, 1978 - P/jGE 3 aUout planning, t9r. Scote stated he h�d heen �f ehe opinion thae the Commissi.on needed an ciutside a�encq to help taiL-h planniii�. He caas con- cerued with having a source L-haL- was "noC under the!in£luence o€ tt7e community". Mr. Scott stated they took citizens wlio had expressed cunceru in these different areas and asked them to serve on commi.ttees to see hoc� far they could go with them. T1ze Commissian appointed eight different committees in tlie follo�sing areas to help establish the go11s and objectives: 1: rine Arts 2. Humanities 3. Communications 4. 13uman Rights 5. Human Service Del.ivery Systems 6. Housing/Public Accommodations 7. Social/Economic Development 8. Human Relations These commit-tees came back and they put all the goals aud objectives through the Planning Commission. He felt the goals and objectives they developed were about the most comprehensive of any of the couunissions. Mr. Scott stated that certain areas got more supPort from the conr.nunity than other areas. The Fridley Fine Arts Committee �aas a very fruitful thir.g. Ms. Nanr,y Lali�bert did a beautiful job with i*_. 1``,r. Scott stated he had Ueen very impressed with the Nouth Project Committee in which Mro 1'en r:etca].f and rir: Storl.a h�d dor.e a lo�' n:f r1n.r[;. l:t had started t).�e Teeu Ce:r_ter going a,ain. Mr. �eot[ stated that_ ctie Tenant/Latxdlard Yro;4et Com^�;.Ztee C3(I c:t�me out of this . There had 'neen a d.egr.ee o£ centro-ve�rsy in rhe comnii�n.�*_y about it. The ldinnesota Tenants` Uni.on ha3 come in and asked for 52',OGO to service tlxe residents. Public hearings were held on it, statements were made £rom H.U.D. and different organizations around the T1e±ropolitan area abcut what they should do. They found,out that the Tenants' Union had done good �,*orlc in Minneapolis, but it was based primarily on the prittciple of advocacy for the tenant and did not consider the landlord. About that time, the Fridley Chamber of Commerce came to the Cammission and stated that with the charter the Commission had "to develop harmonious relationshi.ps", the best way the coumiunity could attacic the problevn was to have both sides participate and both tenants and landlords could sit down and iron out their problems. The Tenant/Landlord Project Committee was a result of that. P1r. Scott stated he still believed that the only way the community could continue to £unction and develop human potential was to achieve harmonious relationships. Mr. Scott stated that there caere some other things that the Commission never got to handle.; One was the handicapped. City I1a11 was a good exaniple of lacic of facilities for the ltiandicapped. The Friendly rridley Follcs had to move from City Hall because of the access limitations. One thing that he had always felt the Commission should have (and they had moved in thak.direction sahen he had chaired the Commission) caas that the Cornmission itself should have budget responsibility, i.e., have a �IlRili2� itL'SOUP,CRS COMI�USSION I�liTZNG JULY f 1978 - PlsGE 4 considerable suat of cioney for itsc:lf.. -It was extremely di£ficult iai the Comniss?.on to l�elp; for examp7.e, thE seczier c,itizens' wi.tlzoul' moiiey. And there were otheY arevs wher.e grants could be effectively ut-ilized, For example, Lhe I'ine l�rts Corunittee had needed money to get it off the ground. !it one time, there was the possi.bility ehaL- the Human P.esources Commissinn would have a bu�lget and that was in July 1976 crhen I�Lse 3an Konzak, Administrative Assistant, came before the Co�miission. 'T1ie Co�nissioxl had a voice 1t tliae time. The hang-up was that the CiCy wanted the Commission xo identify tlie projects they needed money ior, and it was a dif£icult thing to do. It was a very complex thing, and the Gommission needed some- one able to talk to the fiiiance people and identi.fy these project's. Mr. Scott s*ated that he believed that in order to have comu�unity aware- ness, whatever the Commission taas doing had to be visible. Mr. Scvtt stated it was his personal opinion, an3 k�e had always felt that it would be to the City's advantage, to have the city and bther municipalities within the counCy form aa Anoka County Consortium of Human Rights Coumiissions. He had been very disappointed with tkie P4i�inesofa Auman Rights Commission. l�:r. Scott stated that he felt that the tdetropolitan Council was probably the bes[ singl.e soc�rce of information for the Camnission. Between Idetro- politan Council and the StaL-e Planniag Commission, the Conmiission could �eC inf:or.mation t1�at p�culd henefit them i.n any work tliey might endeavor. There �,�as a Iiuc�an l:esources Ccnw�irtee at the DSeYropali.ean Cuuncil, �nd he su�gested that the CoL�aii_ssioa develop ::c'�:F kia3 0£ rPlatians�tip s�ith.' Aietropoiitan Counr_il, �t least by gettir.g on the ra�iling list. Nletr.apolitan Cuunril had a program goiug on that he considered a sigcii9_cant pi.ece of . work in the country today, and that was the "�o:;5.rz1 Developff�eut Framework". Ae recommended that the Co�ission becocie faaiiliar with this source document, "Social Goals for the Twin Cities Metropolitan Community': Mr. Scott ststed that• he also ie7.t it was not in the best interest o£ th'e Commission to sperd 'an inordinate amount of time on problems just for the sake of finding problems. Wlxen they had goue tnrough a11 those studies, one problem that had ixoC surfaced`in this oouununity was homosexuality. But, he had noticed recently that this issue was a major turning point in several coamiunities. He felt that to do work effectively, the'Coinmission had to gain the confidence of the,co�unily. And, in this community, to be involved in somethino like.homosexualitq would destroy that confidence. He felt the Couimission should ignore social injtistices; they could do a - disservice to the community. Tlie Commission had been very careful about handling those kinds of things; and for that reason, he thought the ' Coimnission had developed a real creciiUility in the community. The Tenant/ Landlord Project Conimittee and the social plan for the lew income people had caused controversy, but these were not the kinds of tliings that;would tend to divide people and polarize signficant segments of the population. The Uiggest problem he saw in the corim�unity was the discrimination to recipienCs of AoF.D.C., and he did not know what could be done aUout it. 7�U19AI1 R�SOIIRCES CQP11-ffSS7CN ]SEF.TIP;G JULi' 6, ly7g __._.___.

Van Dan stated she would like co seedie Huirian Resources Coinmi.ssion setling up project couanittees and getting them sL-arted and fuxicL-ioning so they could funetion as independent' units of volunteer citizens, with maybe a Iiaison from L-he Commission sitting in on each committee at di£ferent times to see i.i that couunit'tee was stiil functioning effectively. If the committee was not' functioning effectively, the committee could come back to the Cou�ii.ssion £or more guidance. aud advice. Ms. Van Dan thanked Mr. Scott for his good overview of the Counnission's past history. With �o many new crnnmission members, L'hey did not know what had been accomplishe3 in the past, and Mx. Scott's discussions gave them some ins:ght into the Human Resource Commission's accomplishments. Mr. Scott stated that there �aere other opportunities to get public information. He stated that KTT+]N Radio was very receptive to public inforncation. There was an experiment going on in South Minneapolis with a coavnunity radio. Ther.e was some ki.nd of federal program available to assist in development of_ a cou¢nunity radio. The radio station was KFAI and it had been on the air about three months. It was also very receptive to public informati.on.

Mr. Storla stated tUat since the Co�nission �aas so concerned about human relations, maybe each Coamiission member should ride along �aith a potice oi-ficer to see what was going,on in the city. Ms. Carpenter sCated that from Mr. Scott's report, it seemed like a lot of people had been involved and a Tot of community in�eraction kad �one on at one tiuie. The indications were now that this was nat going on and the Commission did not have that involvement of a lot uf people. She wanted to lcnow iahat had happened. Mr. Scottr stated Chat what happened was that there were a number of projects that members of the C�ission were familiar with. Everyone was involved with these projects. Then, as Couv:iission u�embers were replaced with new members, these new members did not know what had happened in the past, and maybe these projects were not their interest. So, the enthusiasm died down, except for a few projects. Mr. Scott stated he felt the Commission should also stay on top of the new senior citizen Iziglz-rise situatiott. f I e n� . � . . . . . . � . . .

Also going into this were the needs of the community. They could work on a neat project assLmiing the needs of the community, buC if these were not the needs, it was not going to benefii- the community. She stated she agr.eed caith Ms. Van Dan's priorities. Ms. Carpeater stated stie had a lot of questions regarcling "communication�". This apparently was an issue at one time, but was not now. If a person had a grievance, was there a plan in the city for a grievance. If she went to City Hall with a human rights issue, �ahat would she be told to do. The City needed some plan to facilitate covununications of human right� problems in the community -- a grievance policy. She also wondered i_f they were xeally utilizing cable Tl� and had the Ca�ission considered ha-ving a program or having someone speak on cahle TV: Mr. Storla stated it was one of his priorities to have a Human Rights Day and try to educate people on what was fair and unfair di,scrimination. The Co�ission should also be able to give presentation� on what peoyle's rights were. Mr. Storla listed his priorities zs follows: (I) Handicapped; (2) Human Rights Day--the e3ucati.onal aspect of it; (3) Undergroeind shelters for sa£ety; 4n1 (4) Irv�ting a pa.r.ele. oliice:: to a Gemvn:.ss:.cri s�ee�i.r.g—�he.

Mr. Storla stated another goal was gossibly having the Fine A:ts Committee submit an annual report to the Cormnission. Ms. Dobson stated she was thinking of some kind of emergency disaster relief to help the flood victims in Rochester, Minnesota, Uy working through the local organizations to collect canned goods and clothin�.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT: p, Installation of Tennis Courts/Playground Equipment: Mr. Boudresu stated that surfaces had been install.ed on all the tennis court area enlargements at Craig and Flanery. New surfaces had been installed at Springbrook, Woodcrest School, and Benjamin-Briardale. i i: i 'r _ ,�s PARKS & RECREATION GOI�II�LCSSION ML'ETING, JULY 24 1978 - PAGE 2 Mr. Boudreau stated the weather had not been very cooperative so they were behind schedule on them. The surfaces were down, the next priority was getting the nets up, then the lines. They were installing new play- ground equipment--four Big Toys and two wooden structure outfits--one at Rice Creek School, one at Plymouth, one at Springbrook with a tennis- court combination, and one at Benjamin-Briardale. They had one in with three more to go. Ms. Seeger asked what kind of surface would be under these play areas? Mr. Boudreau stated they would be experimenting with woodchips and sand combination, held in with timbers. This was a new thing for the Fridley piayground areas. B: Sidewalk on 7th Street: Mr. Boudreau stated that if the Commissioners had been by Co�ons Park recently, they would have noticed the new sidewalk. The sodding was three-quarters done. The sidewalk was within three feet of the park trees so the trees had been left in. Mr. Peterson stated that the Commission's objections to the sidewalk were listened to very seriously. Mr. Boudreau stated he thought that wieh the long range plan for that area, the sidewalk may not hurt the city if they eventually got the high activity use out of that park. C. Ice/Hockev Rink Locations - 1978-79: Mr. Boudreau stated that the Commissioners had xeceived a list of the 1978-79 ice and hockey rink locations. He stated there was one addition that had not gotten on the 1isC and that was a generai ice skating area at Edgewater Gardens. This would make 18 general areas with a total of 22 general ice skating rinks. Mr. Boudreau stated he had talked to Mr. Hansen, H.A.F. President, and Mr. Hansen stated that the H.A.F, needed eight rinks for the hockey program. Mr. Boudreau stated the city had put in two additional rinks so that the city had some additional rink time. Mr, Boudreau stated he would like a motion from the Commission acknowl- edging that the City was reviewing and was attempting to cover all parts of the city to give as much general area ice as they could and yet be within the ways and means of staff time and equipment. They were working in conjunction with the Hockey program to meet their needs and yet having some additional rink time for general use, PARKS & RECREATION COMM'IISSION MEETING, .lULY 24, 1978 - PAGE 3 D. Requese by Jaycees: Mr. Boudreau stated that the Fridley Jaycees were hosting the Class C Men's S1ow Pitch Softball Tournament on August 19-20, 1978. They would like the city's assistance and approval as in past years for one man from the Parks Department to assist with the necessary equipment for these two days. MOTION by Jan Seeger, seconded by Leonard Moore, to accept the "Director's Report" with specific mention of Items C& D, to agree with the ice and hockey rink locations and to approve the Fridley Jaycees request. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Boudreau stated that he had some other items to mention. They had planted trees in the Lake Harris property. They were planning on putting in a burm there, two picnic tables, and may6e park benches along the lake to try to encourage some use of that area. Mr. Boudreau stated that he wanted to mention that they had landscaped the boulevard by Woodcrest School to try to divide the fence area from the street. They had also sent notices to a11 the homeowners on 73rd asking for people to assist the city as new trees were being stolen. Mr. Boudreau stated that the current status of the Locke Park situation was that five young people had been arrested for underage drinking, pot, etc., recently. That grob2em sti11 existed. Mr. Peterson stated it was not on the agenda, but it tied in with the subject of Locke Park, and that was that the Commission had taken action several months ago to look into the possibility of either swapping or letting the County take wer Locke Park because it was really being used as a regional facility rather than a city facility. The Coumiission had received a copy of a memo of a conversation between Mr. Virgil Herrick and Mr. Dick Sobiech which indicated that this was still moving. The concensus of everyone Mr. Peterson had talked to was that it was a very smart thing to do. The Planning Commission, in reading the Parks & Recreation Commission minutes, had also taken action, and passed it on to City Council urging City Council to move with haste to see that this was accomplished. Mr, Boudreau stated that, in addition, the County was looking for a site to build an activity building. If they acquired Locke Park and put the aetivity building there, he thought it would help reduce the.` vandalism, because there would be a caretaker there. Mr. Boudreau stated that the City would retain and maintain the ball diamond, nursery, soccer field, and ice rinks so it would not be a complete package. PARKS & RECREATION COT4✓iISSION ME�TING JULY 24 1978 PAGE 4 Mr. Peterson srated that he thought that if the County did go with a partnership with the city of Locke Park, from what he had seen and heard, as a Cov�issioner he would not object to that kind of partnership, because the partnership would not hurt the city. II. NEW BUSINESS: A. Proposal -Fridlev Lions Club: Mr. Boudreau stated that in reference to a letter dated July 13, 1978, from Mr, Michael Murphy, Lions President, it stated that,"at the June Board meeting, the Fridley Lions voted unanimously to provide the City of Fridley with $1,200 for insurance of the bus previously donated to the County of Anoka. We hope this will be of great benefit to the Parks � Recreation Department and the residents of Fridley. It is assumed, of course, that the Fridley Lions may have use of the bus upon proper ndtification to the Fridley Parks & Recreation Department." Mr. Boudreau stated that the County Board had voted to release the bus to the City of Fridley; however, priority had to be given to senior citizens and county residents. When the City got the use record of the bus, they found out that a nursing home used the bus almost daily. Mr. Boudreau stated they had to find out what the nursing home's projected use was for the bus and relay back to the County that the City did not mind the nursing home using the bus, but the City did iiot want to have the upkeep on the bus if tne nursing home was the solz user. The City of rrfdley should have first priurity, They did not want the bus on that kind of arrangement unless they had first priority, because that was why they wanted to get the bus, Mr, Boudreau stated they would continue working on the problem. Mr. Boudreau stated that the second part of the letter stated that the Fridley Lions Club would like to have Moore Lake Park renamed Moore Lake Lions Park, so they could make an on-going co�itment to the deveLapment of the park, and it would be almost a yearly project for them. Mr. Peterson stated that maybe they should table this item until they heard about the bus situation. Then both matters could be handled at the same time. Mr. Moore stated that this was brought to the Commission some time ago. He stated he was not in favor of renaming Moore Lake Park. Mr. Peterson stated that maybe the Commission could move to rename it Moore Lake Lions Park, the City Council could concur, but it would not change the usage of the park. Then the Lions could have the park as their project. Mr. Boudreau stated he thought it was a matter of looking to the future of funding and where they were going to get those capital outlay funds. He stated that if they could tie some of these things to the park as long as the City kept control of the park and did not let the Lions Club have control--a common type of agreement of development--that would be fine. � PARKS & RECREATION CONII�fISSION MEETING JULY 24, 1978 - PAGL' S Mr. Peterson stated he was not sure that professional staif and the Commission had to be put in the position to negotiate with an outside group, such as the Lions Club, on how money was to be spent. The Lions might say that they wanted to do one thing in the park, but that might not fit into sL-aff's recammendation. Then the Lions might not want to give any money, because they did not agree with the City. MOTION by Jan Seeger, seconded by Leonard Moore, to continue the item regarding the request by the Lions Club to rename Moore Lake Park until the August meeting. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion earried unanimously. B. Request for Fee Reduction - F.Y.S.A_.: Mr. Glenn Van Hulzen stated he had discussed this matter with Mr. Kirk and Mr. Boudreau earlier, and they had asked that Mr. Hulzen come before the Commission. He stated that the main issue was the Fridley footba7,1 field on the hill. With the amount of traffic on it in the past, the heavy rains and soccer play, plus the efforts of the Parks Department to get it into good shape, a11 had combined to make the field unplayable for football this Eall, particularly the central portion--b0 yds, x 25 yds.-- which was very shabbily sodded at this point, Mr. Van Hulzen stated that the F.Y.S.A., which made the most use of that field, had allocated funds for the purchasing of sod for that area. They would like to resod the central portion. In talking with *_he City Engineering Dept. and the Parks & Recreation Dept., they did not £eel there was a need for any great amounts of fill to be brought in so the main thing was getting a good p].ayable surface.. They would need approxi- mately 16-18,000 sq. yds. of sod at 60q/yd. at a cost of approximately $900. Mr. Boudreau had stated that he had people available to do the sodding the first week in August if the F.Y.S.A. came up with the sod. Mr. Van Aulzen stated that what the F.Y.S.A. was proposing was a reduction in the user's fee that the F.Y.S.A. paid for the use of that field. A 50% reduction in the fee would give the F.Y.S.A. approximately $448 whfch would, in essence, pay for half of the sod. The F,Y.S.A. found it very easy to explain to people that the user's fee was used to sod the field, They got a little static about that, but naw they could tell them that it really was used for new sod. It was something that could be seen, rather than money going into a general fund where no one knew where it actually went. Mr. Boudreau stated he could see no problem with this proposal. Itws one oE the city's facilities, and they were trying to make the best of a bad situation. They were looking at the effort of spreading some of the ballgames out, outlining another field down below, using the soccer field at Locke Park, and going to some Saturday morning games if possible, to try [o eliminate sane of the traffic off that football field. � PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MLETING JULY 24 1978 - PAGE 6 Mr. Moore stated he felt the City should enter into the agreement to reduce the user's fee and allow the F.Y.S.A. to sod the field. N3r. Peterson stated that if the Cammission agreed to approve this request, it would have to be sent to City Council, because the fee situation was a City Council set item, MOTION by Leonard Moore, seconded by Jan Seeger, to enter into agreement with the F.Y.S.A. for this one project to reduce the user's fee by SCP/ for the purpose of sodding the football field. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Van Hulzen stated he had one other item to bring up that tied in with the user's fee idea. In 1977, the F.Y.S.A. had paid approximately $2,096 to the City in users' fees. The F.Y.S.A. caould like to see some of those dollars allocated to some sort of project--whether it be sodding, improving a fence, or putting up lights. It would be popular with the people paying the fee. People always wanted to see something concrete. Right now they saw the money going into the general fund, but it wouLd be Uetter if they could see those dollars go into a fund where the F.Y.S,A, and Parks & Recreation Department would decide how those funds wouLd be allocated and used in the coming year. If they wanted to wait and use those funds five years later for a big project, that would be fine. Those funds would ttien be earaariced as Part of the park improveu�ent program. Mr. Van Hulzeu stated he was throwing this out far food for thought and, as President of F.Y.S.A., he would have to go back to the Association wzth this proposal. But, he wanted to know the Commission'� feelings on the subject. Mr. Boudreau asked if Mr. Van Hulzen was suggest ing a blanket per-year fee as opposed to the per-head user's fee to then go into a facility fund? Mr. Van Hulzen stated that would go over very well with the F.Y.S.A. They would like the fund to build if the Parks & Recreation Department and the F.Y.S.A. agreed that they would like the fund to build to do something big. Mr. Boudreau stated that one advantage would be that this money would come to the City in a separate fund earmarked for a special purpose, and it could build up to a sizeable amount which could be used for a major improvement. Mr, Peterson stated that whatever the Coum�ission did would also affect the Hockey Association. He thought the most practical way of handling the matter was to receive it as a recommendation and then 1et Staff look at it and send it through the City Management to C3ty Council. He felt they should cover all the bases. The FI.A.F. would have to be contacted to see if they were interested in this type of situation, and then put something together. PARKS & RL'CR�ATION COMMISSION MLETING JULY 24 1978 - PAGE 7 Mr. Van Hulzen stated that sounded favorable to him. He had wanted to propose it now because of the sod situation. He s[ated that he certainly appreciated the Co�ission taking the time to listen to these proposals. MOTION by Leonard Moore, seconded by Jan Seeger, to receive Mr. Van Hulzen's reco�mnendation in terms of fee schedules. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Peterson stated that this should be put on the agenda for the August meeting. He asked Mr. Boudreau to see that a letter was written to Mr. Jack Hansen, H.A.F. President. Mr. Peterson also stated that Mr. Hansen and Mr. Van Hulzen should come to the August meeting. C. Woodcrest Baptist Church - Facility Use Request: Mr, Boudreau read a letter dated July 18, 1978, from Mr. Bob Christenson, Athletic Director, requesting the use of Locke Park Soccer Fie1d to be used by the Woodcrest Baptist Academy Jr. Varsity and Varsity Soccer teams for_practice and games. Game days would be on Tuesdays and Fridays and were not yet confirmed as to which games would be home games requiring the facilities. The schedule would be as follows beginning August 2 L- Mon., Wed „ Thurs. - 3:00-5:00 Home Games, Tues., & Fri. - 3:00-6:00 Mr. Boudreau stated that this was 13'� hrs. of commitment for the soccer ff eld . Mr. Peterson stated that it was his opinion to deny the request, because it was really government sponsorship of church-related activities. Mr. Boudreau stated they were also looking at a conflict with city programs and maintenance costs. If it was a recreational activity not related to school and they wanted to use city facilities, that would be fine. But when they were supplementing the educational function of any organization, then he thought the city was on very tentative ground with the taxpayers' money. Mr. Moore stated he concurred with Mr. Peterson and Mr. Boudreau. Mr. Peterson stated that the City was already subsidizing the school's physical education program anyway, because they used all the apparatus all day long for recess. MOTION by Jan Seeger, seconded by Leonard Moore, to recommend that City Council deny the request from Woodcrest Baptist Academy for use of the Locke Park Soccer Fie1d. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. •�a PARKS & R�CREATION COMMISSION MEETING JULY 24 1978 - PAGE 8 III. OLD BUSINESS: A. Volleyball League - Di.xie Vogt: Mr. Boudreau xeferred to page 8, 6th paragraph, of the Apri2 24, 1978, Parks & Recreation Commission minutes which stated: "Mr. Peterson stated the Commission was sensitive to the needs of the people of Fridley. He stated that the Commission had a policy that when a group of citizens wanted to have a program, the Commission encouraged them to organize themselves, draw up rules, bylaws, and regulations to be brcught to the Commission so the Commission could make sure they fit with the overall policies, such as the other associations. He stated that might be one way to go. The Commission would be very cooperative with them to try - to get them what they wanted for a program. He asked that Ms. Vogt talk to other ladies on the teams and come back and be on the agenda at the July meeting." Mr. Boudreau stated that Ms. Vogt had done that and was at the July meetin� to tell,the Co�ission what she had found out. Ms. Vogt stated she had just called teams that she thought might be interested. She stated that out of five teams, she had three teams that were willing to be in a power volleyball league, and one team had indicated they were dropping out o£ the present league because of the referees. So, there was the possibility of four teams, Mr. Kirk stated Lhat if there were four teams, they cou7.d have a power volleyball league and run a.decent schedule. He stated that it was their impression last year when setting up the volleyball league that people were not interested in the competitive volleyball, but apparently some of them had changed their minds. Mr. Boudreau suggested that the City could run an eight-week instructional volleyball program. They could attempt to run a power volleyball class • for those who wanted instruction in power volleyball which might carry over into league play. He stated he sti11 felt that most of the volley- ball teams were not interested in the high competition Level, but were in it mostly for fun and exercise. Mr, Peterson stated it was still his feeling, as he had expressed in the April 24th Coumiission minutes, that it should be run in an association with rules, bylaws., regulations, etc.; otherwise they were going to have all kinds of problems and people coming to C wm�ission meetings with complaints. If it was set up as an organization with officers, the City would assist them just like they did for softball, soccer, etc. Zf the City was going to run it, they should run it as an eight-week instructional program which fe11 within the City's framework, but he was not sure they wanted to be involved with power volleyball. The average girl was not interested in power volleyball, and the City would have to run two programs. The class might be the way to go for one more year. '�`i PARRS & RECR�ATION CONIl�7ISSION MEETING JULY 24 1978 - PAGE 9 Ms. Vogt stated that all she was asking for was sanctioned referees. Mr. Kirk seated that sanctioned referees were very hard to find. Ms. Vogt agreed that the eight-week instr.uctional volleyball class sounded good. Mr. Boudreau stated the City would run the eight-week instructional volleyball class, and from that, there may come the interest from those who learned the rules to form a power volleyball league in the future. Mr, Peterson stated that if Ms. Vogt was interested in getting an organi- zation together, the City had the agreements made with the other associ- ations on file. He asked Mr, Kirk to obtain a copy of'one of these agree- ments for Ms. Vogt so she could look it over and see what kind of thing it was. He thanked Ms. Vogt for coming to the meeting. B. Great River Road - Jerrold Boardman: Mr. Boardman stated he was at the meeting by request. He stated there had been some question as to why East River Road north of 694 had not been chosen as the Great River Road North, rather than Highway 169. He stated that the reason was that Highway 169 was the only road in ttie Twin Cities area that met all the criteria under the Federal Legislation. Mr. Boardman stated the way it was done was by having a qualitative evaluation form, giving a score on the evaluations, and East River Road south of 694 scored higher than West River Road, so they crossed the river at 694 and ran the Great River Road north on 169. The Federal Criteria was a written document of "what a Great River Road should be". The Great River Road supposedly went from the starting grounds in Itasca all the way to New Orleans. When the`>Federal regulations came out an this, they said they could fund only those grojects directly along the Great River Road and this had to be at a 90 angle to the Great River Road for spur traffic. If the spur routes were, for example, south of 694, they could not extend a spur route north of 694 to pick up Islands o£ Peace or any park property like that. The reason they did that was because they did not want any spur routes crossing the river to another state. When the Great River Road came through Minnesota and Iowa, they did not want an extension into Illinois because of state conflicts. What they neglected at the Federal level was that Minnesota had a river that went within the state. So, now the Minnesota Legislators were trying to change this so they could have spur routes on either side of the river, at least in Minnesota. Ae stated he did not have any more information at thistime. Mr. Moore asked if there would be enough federal funds south of 694 on East River Road to buy some of the FMC land and possibly have a public landing or something like that on the river2 PARKS & RECRBATION COhAffSSION MG�TING JULY 24 1978 PAGE 10 Mr, Boardman stated that it was possible. Metropolitan Council was looking at acquisition of the FMC property for part of the Regional Trail System. Ms. Seeger asked Mr. Boardman if he knew whether or not the Anoka County Historlcal Society had any input into the Federal establisUment of where the Great River Road would go? The information she had gotten was that ail of the historical significance was on the East River Road in the trail and had to do with the Banfill Tavern and Banfill Island. She said it had been recommended that Fridley send a leteer to the Historical Society asking for approval to look into having the Great River Road on East River Road rather than West River Road. Mr. Boardman stated the City had sent in a11 that information. They had submitted projects on North Park, Islands of Peace, and the Banfill Tavern. Ms, Seeger stated it was very interesting that Highway 169 managed to meet all the Federal criteria in that one little chunk. C. Moore Lake Study; I�fr. Boardman stated he had just received a copy of the Moore Lake Restoration Grant (a report made by Hickok & Assoc.) submitting an application at a total cost of $663,00�. The City's share wcuid be $165,000. The main things they were looking at was developing a control weir betc�een the e2st basin and the west basin, a diversion of the Harris Lake overflow ditch, a biological fill and filtration unit at Fillmore St. pond, and placement of a sand blauket over the .lake bottom. Ms. Seeger asked if the report stated a reason why Moore Lake had gotten . so bad. Mr. Boardman stated it was because of the phosphorus levels and the nutrients. The main reason was because the city was not controlling the storm sewers as they ran into.Moore Lake. The nutrient levels in the lake were creating more biological growth. IV. OTHER BUSINESS: A. Y.M.C.A.• Ms. Seeger stated she wanted to lmow if it was true that the Y.M.C.A. was planning to build a facility on their propertyT Mr. Peterson stated this was sent up to City Council because there was a request by a developer to run a service road across the Y,M.C.A. property, which meant that the people who were developing the property had more property of their own to develop if they went across the Y.M.C,A. property to do it. Members of the Executive Board of the Metropolitan � �� 0 PARKS & RECFEATION COMMISSION NtE�TING JULY 24, 1978_ _ - PAGE 11 Y.M,C.A. appeared at• the Fridley City Gouncil and said that they still had plans to develop a facility in the 1980's according to their capital budget outlay program. They did not indicate the starting date. Based on that information, the City Council did not grant permission to develop the service road on the Y,M.C,A. property, and the other property owners would have to do it totally wiL'hin their own property. Afs. Seeger stated that she really felt the Y.M.C,A. was a good thing, and she would like to see a Y,M.C.A. f.acility in Fridley. It would be a big "plus" for the community.

Science �oundation R�6VN-Research Appiied io National Ne�ds � Public Technology, Inc., is a non-profit, tax-exempt public interest or- ganization established in December 1971 as an institutional mechanism for applying available technologies Yo the problems of state and local governments. Sources of such technologies include federal agencies, pri- vate industries, universities, and state and local jurisdictions themselves. PTI works in both the hardware and software fields. PTI works on specific problems that have been defined and given a high priority by state and local government officials. A problem aiso must be common to many units of government throughout the nation and one that is susceptible to technological solution. In this way two major organizational goals are realized: (1) Costs and henefits of large- scale undertakings are shared, and (2) private investment in the solution of public sector problems is encouraged by the aggregation of specific � � � markets at the state and local levels of govemment. � � The technology applicaTion process consists of these steps: problem definition, location of applicable [echnology, appropriate packaging of the technoiogy for siate and local govemments, and help in adapting and � implemen[ing the technology at the operating level. Emphasis is placed on transfer and subsequant utilization of the technology by the largest possible number of juristlictions. On-site assistance is provided, upon request, to make certain that state and �ocal jurisdictions fully utilize the technology. PTI was organized and is governed by the executive ofiicers of the � Council of State Governmems, Intemational City Management Associa- tion, National Association of Counties, National Governors' Conference, National League of Cities, and U.S. Confe�ence of Mayors. Its work is supported financially by the Ford Foundation, by the annual subscrip- tion fees of participating jurisdictions, and by federal agency grants and contracts. , . , .. ._ . . _ . _. . ._. __:� .;�._ _. _ The Nafional Science Foundation's (NSF) Research Applications Directorata works to encourage the systematic application of science and technology to State and local government problems. Working within the Research Applications Program, the Office of Intergovernmental Science and Research Utilization seeks ways of focusing on practicat sotutions to selected problems of national importance. ISRU works directly with agencies of State and local govemments in experimental efforts to determine and test how best to bring RANN and other scientific and technologicai advice to bear on tegislative, management and operating decisions. This handbook is one significant element in working toward [his goal. ISRU was provided with technicai support in this instance by the Office of Systems Integration and Analysis, another component under NSF's Research Applications Directorate, which administers both the ISRU and RANN programs. 7he Research Applied to National Needs (RAMN) program is administered by the Foundatio�'s Research Applications Directorate. RANN sapports research in energy, environment, productivity and resources. RANN's energy research activities are focused in four areas: t. Energy systems research, including projections of future energy supply and demand, ways of conserving energy resources, and assessments of the environinental impac[s of alternate energy sources. Z. Energy resource research, which addresses probfems refated to the utilization of geothermal energy, coai gasification technologies, and waste heat recovery. 3. Energy conversion studies, which focus on improving the overall efficiency of power generation, testing of new technotogies for energy storage, and development of advanced solar energy technologies. 4. Energy and fuei transmission research, including low-temperature and high-volUge direct current trartsmissions artd power network monitoring and controi. NSF, through the RANN program, is deeply committed to developing new energy conservation techniques and anatytical tools for assessing energy poticies and options at the federal, state, and local levels. i ENERGY CONSEtt�/ATION A MANAGEMENT REPORT F�R STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENI'S Energy cosu are the biggest rising costs in every public budget. Short of conservation, the only alternative for state and local governments has been to pass on these increases to the taxpayers—either as increased taxes or decreased services. Both politics and common sense dictate that con- servation is the best approach, both within government operations them- selves and throughout the private sector. 7his Management Report pro- vides guidelines to assist state and local government officials in effec- tively managing an energy conservation program. - The energy probiem stems frorn the fact that the United States depends almost completely on three nonrenewable fossil fuels—oil, natural gas, and coal. Prices of these fuels have shot dramatically upward as a result of the oil embargo and continuing shortages. In Washington, D.C., gasoline which cost a typical public agency about 17¢ per galfon in 1972 now costs about 31¢ per gallon or more. Heating oil which cost about 17¢ per gallon in that same year now costs about 34� per gallon. These increases average out at about 85 or 90 percent for most public jurisdictions. Electric power rates have climbed proportionately in those areas where fuel oil is used to generate electric- ity. Tomorrow, we will very likely face increased prices for all types of energy. The obvious need now is to implement and enforce belt-tightening measures on energy use that will help save both energy and money. From a cost-benefit point of view, "benefits" are achieved as energy is con- served. Consider these examples of possible benefits to be achieved through conservation, as documented by the Energy Conservation Tech- nicai Guide that accompanies this Management Reporr. The heating, ventilating, cooling, and lighting costs for a typical pub- lic building generally range from $1 to $2 per square foot per year, ar more than $100,000, for a 100,000•square-foot building. State, county, and city governments own and operate several hundred thousand build- ings including legislative, executive, and administrative offices, schools, fire stations, police stations, libraries, hospitals, garages, auditoriums, and public housing. A reaso�able target for an energy conservation program might be a 25 percent savings in existing public buildings. That is 2 ENERGY CONSERVATION-A MANAGEMEN'iREYORT $25,000 per year on a 100,000-square-foet building. Future public build- ings, designed for energy conservation, might save 50 percent. State and local governments operate about 440,OOU automobiles, 194,000 buses, and 842,0�0 trucks, trailers, and miscellaneous rolling stock. These public vehicles consume something like 1.5 billion gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel per year. A public vehicle fleet with 1,000 automobiles, each vehicle being driven about 20,000 miles per year and each getting about 10 miles per gallon at 31 d per galion, consumes over $600,000 in gasoline each year. A reasonable target for an energy conservation program might be a 20 percent savings or as much as $120 per vehicle per year—or $125,000 annually for the 1,000-car motor fleet: In addition to these savings in internal government operations, government inducements to local builders to use high-performance equipment in new construction could save an individual homeowner hundreds of dollars per year in fuel costs. Information provided by governments to homeowners on such matters as proper insulation and best-performing heating and cooling techniques can also bring significant savings. Obviously, you must determine which energy-conserving measures are most important to your jurisdiction and on which to focus your efforts. Basically, you have three options for reducing consumption of the major fossil fuelr. • Consume less by reducing the use of energy-demanding equip- ment or practices. • Consume less by increasing the efficiency of energy-demanding equipment. • Consume less critical fuels by switching to alternative energy sources such as hydroelectric, geothermal, solar, etc. )urisdictions that have not instituted a formal energy conservation program are well-advised to begin one, in the light of expert predictions of even more severe future shortages. Those governments that already have a program should review its components and expand or alter its scope and emphasis, as appropriate. This Management Report is written for the public official who must determine how to go about getting a comprehensive energy conservation program started. The report discusses how to plan, organize, implement, and evaluate energy conservation programs. Also, it overviews the guidance provided by the Technical Guide. Planning Conservation Programs An energy conservation program should begin with a brief look at the current situation faced by your jurisdiction. Four questionsare suggested below. The answers to these questions should help you to assess your present program. • Does your jurisdiction maintain records on fuel consumption that provide the basic information you require to manage fuel supplies? • Does your jurisdiction maintain a fuel allocation plan for each department, agency, or service, as appropriate? Does your fuel allocation pian provide for a phased response to fuel shortages? Does it establish relative priorities? • Does your jurisdiction have a way to audit energy consumption in public buildings or vehicles? How do you know whether your consumption pattcrns are good or bad? . FOR STATC AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS • Does your jurisdiction have someone who is clearly responsible for energy conservation? Does this person have a detailed program plan against which you can measure results? A comprehensive energy conservation program could have two' thrusts—one directed inward toward governmental operations, and the otBer directed outward toward the private sector and the community. The program itself could be divided into five action areas—existing public buildings, future pubiic buitdings, public vehicle fleet management, the private sector, and public power utilities. As noted at the outset, public buildings are a prime target for an energy conservation program, since state and local governments own and operate well over 100,000 buildings. These buildings require energy for heating, ventilating, cooling, and lighting—all areas in which energy savings are possible. A building energy conservation program might best begin by auditing energy use in existing buildings. Construction of future pub�ic buildings can benefit from ongoing research, particularly that related to use of solar energy. Next to the operation and maintenance of public buildings, the biggest potential for energy conservation in state and local government activities fies in vehicle fleet management. Tl�is is an appropriate activity for emphasis because it was public fleet operations that were most affected by the recent fuel shortages. Criticai matters to investigate include vehicle operations, vehicie maintenance, equipment modifica- tions, and vehicle replacement. Efforts of state and local governments to controi private-sector use of energy should consider actions to affect energy use in residential and commercial buiidings, transportation services, and industry. The funda- mental government role in promoting energy conservation should be to infiuence certain individual choices which affect energy demand. Voluntary actions are designed to inform or enlist cooperation. Two examptes are programs to make consumers aware of the energy used by various appliances, or to promote home improvements that cut down on energy consumption. Regulatory actions compel compliance based on governmental responsibility for public health, safety, and convenience. Exampies are building code provisions mandating minimum home insulation standards or ordinances requiring builders to file energy impact statements for new developments. A conservation program directed toward the residential and commer- tial building sector should focus on three or fflur priority areas—space heating, water heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration. State and loca) governments have three options to pursue regarding transportation services—reduce the demand for transportation, increase the energy efficiency of existing and future equipment, and increase the number of people in each vehicle. Industrial energy use can be influenced through such government actions as information dissemination and long-range planning for combined power-steam generating systems. State and local governments should include electric utilities in their community energy conservation program. State governments regulate utility rate structures, thereby influencing both energy supply and demand. County and city governments occasionally find. themselves a�guing.before a state utilities commission as either an advocate for or opponent to proposed changes in utility rate structures. This provides an opportunity to promotc a utility rate structure that rewards conservation of energy. State and local governments influence electric consumption 3 patterns with various policies that relate to tax incentives, tax disincen- tives, building codes, promotionai activities, and consumer education. County and city governments are responsible for street lighting. In addition, about 2,000 jurisdictions operate their own electric utilities. A conservation program might address electric power consumer demand, utility regulation, joint purchasing and distri6ution, plant equipment, street lighting, conservation measures, and research and development. For each of these program areas, which are covered in detail in the Technical Guide, short-term, intermediate, and long-term objectives can be established. Short-term energy conservation measures might be those implementable within 60 days, or in an even shorter time in the event of a curtailment in fuel deliveries. Intermediate objectives might be achievable in from 60 days to a year, and long-term objectives might be those taking up to three years or more for implementation. Regardless of the measures undertaken by different jurisdictions, the purposes of a formal energy conservation program are the same—to economize in government operations, to maintain essential services, and to minimize hardships to citizens. Organizing Local Resources An energy conservation program affects virtually every department, agency, or service in state or local government. Major fuel-consuming departments such as police, fire, public works, inspections, and public transportation will be affected most directly by fuel supplies and costs. Purchasing, budget, public relations, pianning, and the city attorney will also be affected in their various capacities. Since so many activities are involved, it is best to organize the energy conservation program as a staff activity responsible to the executive. Also, governments should explore regionai or areawide approaches to energy conservation. Councils of government have been particularly successful in assessing the severity of fuel shortages in metropolitan areas and in coordinating the efforts of local officials to obtain higher allotments. There are several ways to go about organizing an energy conservation program. Probably the most common approach is for the executive to appoint an assistant to act as energy coordinator. The coordinator is responsible to the executive for assuring that department heads are acquainted with conservation measures that apply to their operations and that they are actively implementing these measures. He may also serve as the liaison with citizen groups planning energy conservation programs. Another common strategy is for the executive to appoint a task force consisting of representatives of each department. The task force meets periodically to develop and review measures for conserving energy in each department. Interdepartmental policy recommendations are then presented to the executive for a final decision. Some jurisdictions have established energy advisory committees comprised of such persons as county, city, and school officials and the presidents of Chambers of Commerce, Parent-Teacher Associations, consumer groups, public utilities commissions, and citizens associations. Such committees have been usefui to governing bodies in providing advice and perspective on energy-related problems. The use of local industry representatives to provide technical expertise in the identifica- tion of energy conservation opportunities and the development of conservation technology should not be overlooked. The important point is to involve as many counties, cities, school districts, special districts, and quasigovernmentai agencies as required. � .FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS The major organizational options appear to be these: • Assign energy responsibility to each department fiead and coordinate conservation activities through the executive's office. e Create a temporary or permanent staff agency to coordinate all energy conservation activities. • Establish an ad hoc task force comprised of selected line and staff persons. • Designate a staff assistant to act as energy coordinaYOr with all the department heads and bureau chiefs. • Assign responsibility to an existing department or bureau such as budget, purchasing, or general services. A comprehensive energy conservation program requires knowledge or experience in several areas such as public administration, architecture, planning, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, automotive engineering, purchasing, public re{ations, and faw. Obviously, the person who is selected to be responsible for your jurisdiction's energy program should be able to bring an interdisciplinary perspective to the problem. Someone with a public administration and engineering background ' wauld be ideal. Access to people with specialized expertise in the discip4ines listed above would be most helpful. An energy coordinator might be responsible for the functions listed below. • Monitor fuel supplies in the jurisdiction or metropolitan area. • Monitor the jurisdiction's fuel purchases and supplier agreements. • Monitor fuel allocation and consumption for each department, agency, service building, or vehicle. • Stay informed a6out what is going on in the area of energy conservation. • Evaivate energy conservation research and development and practical measures. • Encourage adoption of cost-beneficial energy conservation tech- aiques, • Communicate energy conservation information to the public and the media. • Report energy conservation program results to the executive. 5 Once the organizational mechanism has been set up, the jurisdiction can Implementing Conservation Measures begin to implement its energy conservation program. It is useful to bear in mind that energy conservation can be an exQensive program. Nevertheless, the expenditure of as much as two dollars to conserve one dollar in energy may be justified in the long run. The PTI Energy Conservation Technical Guide offers a number of practical measures for reducing energy consumption in existing public buildings, future public buiidings, public and private transportation, residential and commercial buildings, and public power generation. The Guide presents the basic information needed to get a program started and provides expiicit directions for finding more detailed information in any particular prob{em area. In addition, the Guide includes an annotated bibliography describing basic reference materials for the energy coordinator or task force. 7he recommended implementation process is outiined below. 1. Establish a formal energy conservation program. Assign someone the responsibility for staying informed about energy conservation trends, developments, and experiences. Tap existing information sources listed in the Technical Guide. �,,,. FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS 7 and mileage traveled over a specific period of time. If several vehicles are considered for use in performing the same service, having the gas mileage of each enabtes a simple comparison. Nowever, if the two vehicles differ significantly in some other characteristic, such as the capacity of refuse collection vehicles, then a common basis for comparison must be established. Such a measure of service units could be tons collected per gallon, in the case of refuse collection, assuming the same route for all vehicles. Maintaining records of gas mileage for each vehicle permits an assessment of the effectiveness of such measures as revised maintenance schedules or use of radial ply tires. The PTI Energy Conservation Package was prepared under the sponsor- Sponsoring Organizations ship of the Office of Intergovernmental Science and Research Utilization and the Office of Systems Integration and Analysis of the National Science Foundation (NSF). The package makes use of research con- ducted for the NSF Research Applied to National Needs program. Public Technology, Inc., is a non-profit public service organization which works to define state and local government problems, locate promising technologies, and provide assistance in implementation at the operational level.
