NIs. Schnabel stated that on page 1�, of the minutes, it should be
corrected to r�ad:
2300 new construction units
- �60 new subsidized units
- �80 new unsubsidized units (modest cost)
13�0- new units (market rate)
��s. Hughes stated that the only prablem with this correction was
.� '�` that the fi�ure of 1840 unsubsidized units being deleted, would
make the people have to do their own arithmetic with the figures.
NTr. Boardmaxz suggested that the figure of 18�0 could remain with-
out a'market rate' behind the figure.
Ms. Schnabel a.greed to this change, so that the corrected figures
should reads
2300 new construction units
- 460 new subsidized units
1 0 new unsubsidized units
- 480 new unsubsidized units (modest cost)
13�0 new units (market ra'te)

to come in and show the City where all the drainage lines are
going to go�ana.� hovr it is going to dra,in out from the property
line. He sta�ed that according to the layout, the drainage plan
works well. He stated that there is a slight problem on the one
side in the steepness of the slope. He stated that it is abaut
a one-to-one slope. He stated tha� they may want them to do
something about that such as a reta.inin.g wal7. er� -ss��«e. k'indt '..Qthex-�
wise, he stated, everything seemed to �vork rvell in the ].ayout.
He further stated tha� the sewer, and water are in, and that all
the drainage does go out to the street.
TJIr. Harris questioned if this was a corner lot?
l��r. Boardman stated that yes it was a corner lot.
his. 5chnabel questioned as to rvhat was going to happen with the
elevation of this lot? ^
Mr. Boardman stated -that they ecauld get a general idea from the
cross-section tha�C he had.
iV7s. Schnabel questioned il it �vould have to be built up?
1�Zr. Boardman stated that all of the shaded area of the cross-
section was buil� up.
Tl;r. Harris questioned if this would have any detrimental effec-�
on the surroundin� property? �
Mr. Boardman stated that to their estimation, no it would not.
l�Zr. Harris questioned. as to which way does it drain after it
goes to the street?
NIr. Boardman stated that it all moves toward the river� and that
there are catch basins at the ends o�' the street.
Mr. Harris questioned as to how they handled the curbs at the
swale line?
M r. Boardmaxi stated that �he top of the curbed elevation is lower
than the swale line. %"`�

'� Pir: Harris �hen questi�ned as to hov�i they �lanned to handle the
�vrale line in the backya.rd. He stated that there did not appear
�.to be much pitcho
i�ir. Boardman � and 1�2r. Harris th.en discussed the gradiant line.
I�r. Boardman stated that this was sitnilar to a previous request �
in that it did not have much room for error.
Pa1r. Harris questioned a.s ta how� and whom, checks tYiis after it
is done'? He stated that it bothers him, as to how it is verified,
that it is actua].ly built this way?
T•air. Boardman stated o-th�t it was his viev� that it was the building
inspector's responsibility to make sure that t�e cons�ruction was
built accordin� to �he specifi.ed plans, and layout. Also, he
s�ated, that they do have.a veri�ication survey� and if they need
to, the City can require that 'chey verify tllose elevations.
T17r. Harris stated � tha� he felt �chat to have the elevatian
verified, �vas something that the City should requi:re be done,
far the homeowners benefit, as well as for the City, and the
surrounding neighbors.
N:s. Schnabel questioned i�' this verification would no� have to
be dane, vrhen the blocks �vere put in?
T,Ir. Harris stated that noo it would have to be done when they
�� do the grading.
P�:s. Schnabel questioned if that wauldn't be too late?
1�7r. Harris stated that no, it would7z'-t be, beca.use the critical
points weren't up against the house, bui rather in the swales
and the water��rays that they are putting in.
l�is. Schnabel stated that she under^tood that the intent, was to
keep �he house above a certain level also�:
Mr. Harris stated that yes �it was, bu-t tha�t there was no problem
with the house, but that his concern was with the drainage,
because they are so tight on the elevations, that there is no
room for error.
1�7r. Oquist questioned if the elevation of the house brought it
up out oi the flood plai.n?
DZr. Boardman sta'ted that yes it did.
n�Tr. Harris questioned ii the peti�ioner was in the audience?
Mr. Donald Pertinen of 1611 Highway 10, l�linneapoliso came forth�
ax�.d stated that the petitioner v�as not presen�t � but that he
� was representing him.
PZANNTNG COI��Zr+1IS,ZON r��E�TZNG JulY 25. 1979 P�e �'
T�ir. Pertinen sta�ed t�Zat he had a few comrnents, as far as the -.
drain a t;e was concerned. He s�cated that they realized� that they
were ti�ht on grades, but that the on].y way to get more swale,
was to build u� on the property lines: and he said that would f'�
create a problem for �he center building. He further stated that
even though i't vras a rninimal slope, he �elt that it wouldn't
change the existing drai.na�;e at all.
Mr. Boardmaxi stated tha� he v�ould recomrnend that the Commission
members reconimend� that to elirainate the steep slope, they
should have them �ut in some sort of retaining :•�all.
Mr. Pertinen stated� that if he had a choice, he would like to
see a recornmendation to proceed as proposed� with �he stipul.ation,
that if it did in fact Uecome a problem, that they would at that
time correct it.
I�Ir. Iioardraan stated -�hat he knew that a one-to-one slope grade
was steep, sa he suggested that as ax�. alternative, th.ey could
shift the garage so that it is set back 17 1/2 feet.
D2r. Pertinen stated that would create a problem with some of
the bedroara windows.
Chairnan Harris questioned if anyone had anymore questions of
the petitioner's represenia�ive, or if there was anyone else, in
the audience, that would want to speak on this item? .
D1s. Schnabel sta�ed that the Commission had in the last month ,�"�
or so, conversation as to the possibili�y of declaxing a
moratorium on building in the flood Flains area. She questianed
as to if there vras any updated information on that?
Ib2r. Harris stated that no, he had no fur�her informatiorl on it.
Nr. Boardman stated that the City Council, had referred it back
to the Planning Commission.
Ms. Schnabel ques�ioned l�Ir. Boardman, as to if he had heard
from any of the neighbors on this itera?
Mr. Boaxdman stated that no, he had not.
NIs. Hughes sta�ed that this seemed -to have feiver problems than
the last request the Commission had seen.
Mr. Harris stated that he was riore comfortable with this request
than the previous one also.

.I�1s. Hughes questioned as to how much a, verification survey cost?
I`�1ro H�rris stated tha'c now the Ci�Cy requires a verifica�ion of
f� location, so that the City would then just add a verification
of elevation.
T�Is. Hughes questioned as to approxima�ely how many more points
this verification wauld a�d up to?
rvlr. Harris stated that he suspected �that it wouldn't be an
awful lot.
PJir. Oquist stated that what bothers him, is who makes the
decision �hat at what point in time is there a problem. He
stated that he felt that a retaining wall should be put in when
the final grading is done.
NTuch discussion ensued as to at what point and who would
determine that a problem existed, and how the City could then
require a retainment put in.
T�i0TI0N vaas made by r�7s. Hughes � seconded by T��r. Oquist � to recommend

MOTION CAi3RIEll UtiAIJIi�70USLY.
T::r. Truenfels then read from the summary, and stated to the
Commission �hat the i�ce�s are , that the Central Center
proposed as their.services. He iurther stated tha� considering
i�erns r�1 and ,�2, there appeared to be no overlap. He s�ated that
�or i�em t4, �or prescllool children, there seemed to be an
overlap in the Fridley program o� "Koping ��vith Kids - Kradle
thru Kindergarten" (KKKK). He further stated that item #3
Family Counseling� and item ;��4 Family Counselor, showed some
overlap, in that there was coun.seling services in r^ridley
thru Lutheran Social Services at St. Phillip's Church, and with
the Fridley l�+�ethodist Church. He sta'ced that from what the
Commission was able to deterr�ine though, was that this was
niore or less limited to the con�regations of these churches.
l�ir. Truenfels stated tha� at the time the report was written
^
there was not a clear understandin.g as to what the role of the
Central Center, in the �robatian Qf�'icer area would be. He
stated that he had since been informed by i��is. Carlson that they
would have snace r�ade available �or a Probation Officer, if
need be. He further stated that concerning the Red Cross,
there was an unit located in Coon Rapids. He went.on ta say
that concerning Battered :Vomen ��Lhere was an apparen�t overlap
with the Anoka County Task Force for Battered uJomen (ACT).
Ms. I+ee Carlson of 7937 5'th Street N.�.. , Spring Lake Park,
interjected that this was one and the same, in that ACT, is
using their office space at this time.
Mr. Truenfels stated that he understood that the Central Center
vaas planning an making some teenage counselinb available in the
future. P:lr. Truenfels then went on to read his view� in the
last para.graph oi the Human Resources Commission surnrnary.
M s. Carlson stated that they are now in the process of inter-
viewing candidates applications for a halftime counselor. She
furthe.� stated that the two cax1didates that they are interviewing,
both have the credentials for �Ceen communications groups� �vhich
is a definite consideration. She further stated that she has
been in contact wi�th T�Is. �'agner, who is involved with the Teen r

, Parents commun�.cations� in Anoka County� and who lzas been working
wi'th l�:is. Carlson, in getting � facilita'�oro under a grant from
the Onan Corporation.
�. 1'�1s. Hu�hes questioned Tylr. Truenfels, as to if he knew how often
the KKKK me-t?
67r. Truenfels sta.ted that he did not know, but that he believed
the I�'ridley Community Education booklet would tell them.
i�1is. Hughes stated that as it is an offering thru the Community
�ducation� �he assumed that if not enough people signed up for•
th,e course, they woul.d then not hold it.
P�Zs. Hughes sta�ed that from what she had read from the Humaxi
Resources Commission minuteU, and from their summary� she felt
tha.t �there did not appear to be much overlap of services. She
further stated that since the Central Cen�ers main emphasis
is on preven-tion� more �than on crises, she didn't think she
would want -�o change her mind in terms of the need and desir-
ability of this kind of a program.
Mr. Harris ques-�ioned if the people from th� Central Center,
would recap their program for him? .
l�Tr. Dea�z Sabby 1�1 10Z�th Avenue N e ti�1. � Coon l�apids stated that
parent education is their main emphasis and faniily counseling.
He stated that from -�he groups, and people �that they had tall�ed
^ with, that what �vas r�ios� waxi�ced, was an in-dep-ch fa�ily eounseling
service, Also, he stated� they vranted 'co emphasize prevention.
He further s-�ated that the school districts would be sending
people to them. He stated that it was his view i:ha,�t the scriool
dis�:rict vaould love to have another referral source, other than
' North Suburban to refer people to. He further stated that they
have gotten funding froin the Onan Corpora,tion for a Jean Parks
pareizting program, axld they are no�v training facilitators, so that
could be an ongoing program. He stated that they �anted to
provide services for the three comr,�unities o�' Fridley, Blaine,
and Spring Lake Park. He �urther sta'ced that if i-t is a teen-
counseling cen-�er that the communities waxit� they hav'e an
advisory boaxd, that would give them that sort o�' advice. He
� also stated, that the Anoka County Task Force, is now located
in their facilities.
1�Tr. Harris questioned them on why a�robation Officer?
Ptiir. Sabby, and i�,Zs. Carlson, sta�ted that was not one of the key
parts of their program, but rather they rvould make space available
for a Probation Officer� if this was so requested as a need by
the Anoka County Court System.
PYZr. Oquist questioned if they were doing any counseling now?
l��r. Sabby stated that he was doing some counseling, but that.it
�, was ma.nima]. at present.

PJir. Oquist then questioned aw to how people would find out about
their service?
P+1r. Sabby sta�ted tha.t as of now they havn't done any advertising, ;�..,�
bu-t -�ha� when the school year starts, they would be sending out
fliers to -the school districts. He £urther sta.ted that at -tha�
timeo he would be �oing out -to all the schools, and orient them
with their operatians. He stated tha� he would be doing the same
thing with the Police departments, and also wi'th the churches,
and loca� ne�vspapers.
I�;r. Oquist then questioned them as to what size staif they would
have?
T�Ir. Sabby sta�tecl that for the First �rear, �hey hoped -�o lZave
one full-time, and three part-time counselors, and several
facilitators, that would be part of their program, and als�c
secreta-rial help. He furtherstated that they are not associated
with Spring Lake Park, but ra�her a non-proiit organization
with vrhom Spring I,ake Park has offe�^ed oflice space and utilities
to them.
Ms. Schnabel questioned v�hether the people wlzo avail themselves
of the Central Center's services, pay ior those services?
� r. Sabby stated that yes they would, based on a sliding scale
of up to y�'30.00 per hour, on -the ability to pay �pon income.
But, he stated, noone would be refused the counselin� services,
Uecause o�° an inability to pa.y. ^
rrls. Schnabel questioned as to the backround oi the counselors,
in as much as their qualifications to be called counselors?
P�Zr. Sabby stated ichat tommorrow he would be intervie��ing twa
candidates, one of which is called a clinical psychologist,
and is considered a level two psycholo�i.st. The ather applicant
he stated has his masters in social work, and has vaorked with
faxnily counselin.g. For himseli, he stated, he has his masters
degree in counseling, plus he has worked in family counseling.
�Ir. Harris questioned them as to where they �vere wi�th the Anoka
County agency as far as funding?
T�ir. Sabby s�ated �chat they have met with P�Zr. George Steiner,
who is head of the Comprehensive Health, and th�t there has
been money appropriated to the Coun-ty, but they are going through
a process, in which they are trying �to decide on the guidelines
for dispersement of the money. Because of thisT�Ir. Sabby stated,
they would not know if there �vould be any money available
until the first of the year� or how it would be dispersed.
P.�s. Carlson stated that there are grants available under the
M eni:al Health program,but a.�ain, those criteria are set to a degree
by the State Legislature� and there is a clzange this year, in n
the manner in which the money would be distributed.
�

tftr�. Sabby stated that the key for �hem� is to get loca,l support
�irst. Dec�.use, he s�cated, v�rhen they �o to the State to �et
fundin�;� the S�ate does it on a matching �unds b�,sis. Because
of that, he stated, i� a�as irnportant to them �o get loca.l
fundinb iirst� because it shows that there is a local need,
and support.
1'�Is. Hu�hes s�ated th�.t it appeared to her, that the Human
Resources Commission had not made a specific recommenda�ion�
but that they had not oPposed it either.
PJ1r. Truenfels stated that was true, and that they had �tried to
arrive at 'che facts to bring before -�he Planning Comrnission.
P1�r. Harris questioned i� they had any discussion �r�ith the
�ounty Commission?
P�ir. Sabby, and 1.Ts. Carlson stated that yes they had discussion
vrith them, and. -�heir viev� �vas that yes, they support the concept
of what the Ce�ter proposed to do, bu� were not in a position
as to of�er fundin�. P�is. Caxlson fu.rther stated that she felt
that aften the �;overment was more apt to fund services that
dea.l more with a crisis situation, than to fund services
aiMed at prevention. �
P+Zr. Harrzs questioned if the members of �the Commission had read
the memo that the City I,lanager had sent to the City Council?
� i�Ts. Hughes statad that she had hoped tha� �che me�o would have
told the Commissian if there was money available for �his �ind
of program, but th at she iel�t it did not.
�'"`1
I�'Ir. Harris concurred, that was �vhat he had hoPed �vould be in
the mema, but it was not.
1��7r. Oquist questioned as to whether there had ever been any
money set aside for this?
Trlr. noardman stated that no -there had not been money se�t aside,
but that there are contingency reserves within the.�i-ty, so
that if the Ci�y Council wan�ted to support the Center's progracns,
tha1: there would be money that could be made available.
To7s. Hughes sta�:ed that she fel-� that this was at least as
important function, and operation as the second and third
priorities set for.-Lh in the memo, axid certainly more important
than the first priori-�y, which received the most amount of money.
She �urther stated, that she �elt very strongly, that human
resources should be hept, 3nd preserved from ruining their
lives, or get-ting tan�led in�o some o�' the crisis situations. She
stated� that this is something she �'elt that the City should
be very concerned with. She sta�ed that she knows some of the
staff peopl� at North Suburban F amily Service Center� and while
she personally� has not felt a need to �vail herseli o�' their
PLAIVNING COI����IISSI0I�1 C�tEETING Ju1V 25. 1979 Pa.�e 1� `
services, that from conversa�ions with thESe people, she is
convinced� that it is �n eY�remely valuable service to the
Community. ��
Mr. Oquist questioned whether they had an operating budget?
1�1r. Sabb,y s �ated that yes they do, and. that they have about
t�venty-thousand dollars to �vork with� and a� this point it would
not tarke them throu�;h the full year. He further stated that their
budget is running frocn July 1� i�o July 1, so that they will have
to come up ��ith other sources oi fundino for this year in order
to adequately s�afi the Center, and hire the people on a par't-
time basis.
rr1r. Oquis't questioned whether they would be back a.gain next
year for funding?
NIr. SabUy stated that he hoped they ���ould r_ot need to, but that
he couldn't say for sure no. He hoped that they �vould be
successful enounh, so tha't they v��ould no�t need to return.
M s� Carlson stated tha� a quarterly report on the Center's status,
would be one of their obligations to 'che City, �and if the City
felt that the Center �vas protTiding a vaell functioning, and
very useful, and needed service, an� �hat the Conucunity was
responding well to the service the Center was providin�� that
she��nuint local suppor� might not�be as�ledeofuthelCity.at some
con � �"'�
Tt�ir. Oquist sta�ted that since this Center would be used by
sever�l.. can:mvnities, within the Cou,nty8 that he felt it �vould
be agpropriate for the City to help in the beginning, but that
maybe future monies should be sought a�'ter through the County,
of State a.�encies.
T►2s. Hu�,hes stated that she was involved early on in some of the
legislatures discussion on the �om�;rehensive Health Act, and she
knows the philosophy that the legisl��cure was using, which �v�.s tha.t
�Lhey v�rere funding a lot of categorical kinds of progra�ns� and
that they wanted to bring these together, and use the same
amount of money, or perhaps less, dis�ributed throu�h the counties
who would do all the same things that were done under the
categorical prograrls, plus a few others including some environ-
ment�,l. things. They held a series of hearings in -�he counties,
on how that money �vas going to be spent. She fur�ther stated �Chat
she is cynical enou�h to know, that the theory is good, but that
the practice is poor, in that �vith inflation, what they were
goin� to see was a cut back in some of the pro�rams, including
some that nobody thou�;ht the County could do ���ithout. So, of
course, she stated, none of the environm'ental programs will
get funded �o a�y extent. She stated that rvhile it is quite
reasonable to expect the County to pick up some oi this funding�
she felt that it was kind af a long term future thing, before
some of these progra�ns �vould get fundin�. She furth�r sta'ted that /�
�
PLANNING C�0,�71�2ISSION N1�ETING Ju1V 25, _ 1979 � _ P,a�e 11
'therefore, if this is a useful service� it is going to need -L-he
funding locally now, and perhaps for another year, be�ore all
�a.s sorted out by the Comprehensive Health Plan.
Nir. Harris stated that there were a few things that still bothered
him,, " The'� Firs"t be�ng . that he can see a nee� for this kind of
prograxn if it -truly accon�plishes the high ideals that 1�2s. Carlson
and 1��Ir. Sabby have eYpressed this Center would. But, if it is
just another gimmick for people to get out oF their obligation
to be responsible citizens, then he would be against it. He
�'�at�:d -�ha� he felt that there are too many of those kinds of
prograrns axound, Secondly, he stated was a philosophscal
problem, in that he �vas not sure if it was �:he duty and the
responsibility of the City to get into the welrare business,
and that is essentially tivhat they were doino �vi.th this program,
as they have done in the past with several other progr�ns.
Ihirdly, he stated was that he felt that five-thousand doll�acs
was pretty steep in that he, �for all the time he has spent on
the Cor�nzission, cou].dn't remember the City of Fridley ever
funding any program for that amount of money.
Mr. Oquist stated tha.t he felt, that if the Commission wa� in.
agree�,ent as to this �entral Center as a viable. a,nd :necessary
progra�ji, that they should set the five-thousand dollars as a
m�imum �igure, and the City Council could then decide on
�che amount of funding the Center would receive. .
P�IOTION by ►,is. Hughes, seconded by Mr. Truenfels, �o recommend
!"`'�to Council tha.t they underwrite the Central Center ior Family
Resources, to the ma,ximum figure of $�,000.00 for this year,
with the stipulation: the Ci�y Council should take a look at
these types of proposals, and decide whether the City should
be in this particular type of business at a11.
UPON A VOIC� VOT�, ALI, VOTING AY�, CHAIRtdIAN HARRIS DECLARED THE
MOTTON CARRIID UNA1VIyI0USLY.
Chairman Harris ini°orrced P�Zs. Carlson, and :vtr. Sabby, that this
would be on the August b, 197g City Council Agenda.
With the Commission rnembers concurrence, the Gommission decided

Chairperson Harris questioned as to ho�v this could have been sent
back for reconsideration, ; as it was never sent to Council with
a recommendation?
Dir. Boardman stated that he didn`t kno�v as to h.ow it could have
been either, but that the Commissions
�""�a meeting with the nei�hborhood. The
� and what came out of that meeting, was
recommenda.tion v�as to hold

that not whether the property
would� or would not be vacated� but rather how could the City
PLP.�INING COi;iP,�ISSION f:�ZF.ETING JulV 25, 1979 � �e 12
control some of �the problems that are happening in the area at •
present. He further stated that after the meeting� it vras decided.
�chat the City would try and find some ma�erials, such as rail- �
road ties• to try and keep some of the garba.ge and trash ,^
containers inside a certain section o�' the p�.rking area of the
apartments. He further stated that they vrould come up with some
kind of a scheme to provide the r:laterials, and the apartment
owners would put in some kind of retention. He stated. �chat
at present� the City has not been able to come up with the
materials. He further stated tha�c �hrough a discussion with
the apartrnent ov�mer on the north, the owner stated that he would
be moving into the apartr�ent building probably in August, so
that he �vould becorle more involved in tk�e situation. He stated
that the caretaker of the apartment on the south side, had been
fir• ed, axid the owner of that building �vould be getting new
caret3kers in.
I�Ir. Bo�.rdmans stated th�.t vrhat was brought up at the other
meeting was whether the City should get involved in a pro�;ram
for vacationing the a.11ey�vays. He then shovred the Corcunission
the sheets that point out the alleyways of the City. (See
At-�achment) �,-Ir. Boardman stated %hat under the list o�
"Being Used, Uu-� Unimproved", the City �vould want Vacation
Requests signed by the neighborhood. He further stated that
if the City were to becom� involved in an alley6vays vacation
program, tize "Designated c� P1ot Being Used" alleyways �vould
be the ones the City svould gat involved �vith.
i�Ir, Harris �xplained tha� the alleyir�ays at present belong to th� ^
owner of the property, bu� that the City has an easement, so �
that if the City were to vacate the alley��ay, the use o�' the
property is returned to the o��mer, and the City reliqueshes
their rights to access.
&is. Hughes stated that it v�as her preference that the niembers
of 'che ComMission have an oppartunity to look at the locations
of the "unimproved" alleyways, and see how people are treating
the area. �
Mr.. Berton N. Gross owner of the property at �801 2nd Street N.E.
stated to the Commission, that several years ago� a number of
a,lleys were vacated by the City so that a lot o� people ran
lines down throu�;h the alley� and a number oi them`..built_garages.
He stated that in Hyde Park, there are just a few that are
open, and that he fought to keep them open. He stated that
he felt -that this was a program to be improved. He stated
that tenaz�ts vaere like the statutes, in that they are here
today, and gone tomorrov�. He further stated that in the
2 1/2 street area� he felt that was pretty level lax1d, and that
he could see no reason why these landiords couldn't get together
for s�nitation factors, and have the alley improved so that the
garbage could sit out there, ax1d �the sanitation trucks could
go throu�h the alley. .
f'�
�Zr. Boardma� question�d if ;�Zr. G ross had been in touch with ,
the landlords?
�NLAIV1VIIdG COi:iivlTSaION i'nEETTIVG Jul.y 2�, 1979 Pa e 1
R'ir. Gross s�tated that no he had not. •
P�Tr. Harris stated that the section T:�:r. Gross �vas referring to,
� was not a thrau�;h alley, in -�hat -the �ity had vacationed a
' middle section to the 1eZe�hone building a numbe� of years at;o.
I���lr. Gross sta�ed that �th� City could find ou-� if tha� alley had
been designatecl as a. straight through� ax1c? if it had been, the
City or the people could have them move the building. i',ir. G ross
stat�d that he understood that ai any-�ime that an alley had
been designated, rather th� vacated, it could be reopened at
anytime the public sa wanted it. although, he stated this
would probably en�ail a cou�t figh-t.
T•JIs. Schnabel a,uestioned as �o what the Commission was expected
to do �his evenin� v�ith S��V T`79-03 ?
P�Zr. Boardman stated that tlZey v�aere not expected to do anything,
but that it was there for r.iore info�r.iation, on cvhether the
City tvould �vant to vacate �he alley�-vays, or no�t. He iurther
stated that he felt the City vras looking at the fact that
tliere �°aas no purpose for having the alley�vay, in that they are
not used for access. �.Phe problems th2t have been caeated, have
not necessarily been created because there is an alley �here,
but rather because of dupster loca�tions, or practices oi the
tenants. He further stated -�hat it was his ieeling that the
vacation o�' the alleyways sllovld still take place.
� M s. Schnabel qvestivned vahether if �he vacation did take place,
whe-cher �the City was still vrilling to go in and put in railroad
ties as a barrie'r?
iti�ir. Boardman stated �that yes they would, as they did establish
that the City vaould do that at the r�eighborhood meeting.
Discussion �nsued as to tvhat the Commission should do at this
point.

Dear T,iro Haz°riss
At a recent r�eeting of the Plannin�; Commission, the
Human Resources Conmi_ssion �vas a�k�d to look at the
Central Center ior F�unil.y Resources p novr bein� �'ormed
in Sp�'in� Lake Park, vTi �h pa-rticular attention to possible
duplication ancl overlap �xritil services rendered b,y o�ther
organizations in the Fr.idley area.
The Central Center for Farnily Resources proposes, in
par-ticular, the follo�ving services:
1. �arent discuesion groups :�or �arents o� children
in I��indergarten through Grac�e 3.
2. Paren�C discussion groups tor parents of children
in the upper eleaent�.r,y grades.
3. Family coun.selinga
��. d�orksYiops �or parents of young child.ren.
5. Co�irdinate �rith o�he:^ social service agencies
and bring re�ource people in-�o t�ze comaunity.
� ,A. Family counselor
B. Probatian officer
C. Red Cross �
D. Eattered �firomen group
Our survey has found the �ollowin�: _�
Parent discussion groupss Apparen'cly no overl,ap for r�r�� a�
school children, I�indergarten through elementary grades.
However, for parents of pre-school children, '�I�oping �rith Kids
-- I�radle t}srou{;h �indergarten (I���) " offers presentations
and sm�11-group discussions for tlle parents.
Fan.ily counseling -- some overlap v,tith �utheran Social Service
( at St Phillip's ) an.d �rith Fridley Itiethodist Church.
Probation o�ficer -- Probation is handled -through
. Axio�ca. Coun-�y Cour� Services. It 3s not clear what the role
of the Central �en.ter ior Family Resources would be.
Ba.ttered �vomen -- apparently duplica-�es the �-�ork of the
.t�.rioka County T ask Force for Battered tiYomen ( ACT ).
lthat ia definitely needed in the Fridley area is
counselin�; for teens o�rhe North Suburban l�amily Sea-�rice Center
�,pparently is no� accessible by bus. It is not clear
�vhether the Central Center for Family R.esources would
(�`� provide any coun�e3.ing for teen-agers.
