cincts. The areae to be realigned were explained by the City Maneger. Council-
man Wright stated the only item he was conaerned with wae that the City Council
di�H not� as yet� have a report on v6ting_,machines. The Finance Director replied
they had all the report they would be getting from the voting machine company and
- the dividing of,the prec�ncts would not depend on voting machines. Councilman
Wright explained it would, nevertheless� mean an increase in the cost of judges
which would be offset by the service of machines. The Finance Officer stated
they had been using under the now required law 100 jud�es in all but if they
would uee the 50 or two ehifts of 50� he felt that whether they did it in two
precinete or three� they could get by with the required number. He explained the
City is requlred to have one judge for every 150 voters� thai, the Automatic Vot-
ing Machine Company had given #'igurea and they would like to show some machines,
etc. to the City Council. The City Manager stated, he felt, the objective would
be to get the preeincta set up and then it would give them tYie opportunity to
evaluate the coste more accurately and the City Council could decide the best
way to handle it. He further stated there was a definite need fox• mo�°e of a
split in the warda and the voting machines do not epeed up tYie voting, only the
counting, Councilman Wright inquired iY a resolution were needed to edopt the pre-
cinct reallgnment. The City Manager replied a resolution would be satisfactory.
Councilman 3heridan aeaerted they could incorporate the map, as presented� in the
reeolut3on. A discueaion was held regarding i.he location of Precinct ��3 in Ward
#3 et #2 Liquor Store. C ouncilman Sheridan stated that the pactn�ge stores would-
not be open and,there would be no interference in that regard. Councilman Wright
explained the average dietance from the residente in the proposed Ward 3� Pre-
cinet 2 wae leae or equal to what it presently was and the people �aould have to
go no further for voting� also it is in the same direction they commute. Counc�l-
man Wright atated he wos in favor of the adoptian of the resolution.

4lards and Precinot Boundaries and including the realignment map presented on Page

of the City Clerk. It was explained by Councilman Wright the resolution would
divide the preeent Ward �1 into three precincts, the present Ward #2 which has
only one pxecinct into two and the present Ward �3 into three precincts; that this
gave Friflley a total of eight precincte in three warde where there is now only e
total of,four, 'The motion was seconded by Councilman 9heridan. The City Manager
inquired'of the City Council if the precinet� numbers were satisfactory. It wae
so agreed. Ma,yor Nee etated the only thing that disturbed him was the package
liquor store polling place. Councilman Sheridan replied they could find something

useful to hear their commenta so that the Couneil. would know wkla,t�they��Were,re-
ferring to� that� as he had peen given to understand� Mr,. Panlson di'd want to
change the ordinance in this regard. The City Mana�er explsin�d to,the City
Council that approximately a year previoue there wae an ordiriance'�orked up based
on Mr. Paulson's reco�endations and he could H�ve the City Attorney,'cheek this and
return it to the floor. Mayor Nee replied the'ordinance whiCh'had been presented
' , , ,
<l tN
was a mpdel ahd wae a very far and comprehensive ordinance. N�i�hbors from the
affected area were preeent in opposition and stated they would like to see the
ordinance tak� eaxe of the dog situation. Councilman Wright asserted to those
present there wae an ordinance but also mentioned copies ahould be made avail-
able� that there 18 a voluntary dog regietration by ordinance end at the same
time it protects thA residents from other people's doge. �ouncilman Johanson
asseited this woUld be changed under the new ordinance proposed.
Mr, D3�t^tes� of;t8e'affected area, explained that moet people are not consciou� of
� what actually happened� that this is.a nn� woman war against one dog,and the dog
that 9.ives next�door to her is blamed. ,Mr. Dittes further explained that since
he als'o lived ne�t dooi'to this dog� he bore the brunt of ell his lnfractions and
it wean't quite aa bad as some people thought it was. He stated he lcept two dogs
h�Amself, bbth outdoora and cont3nually,penned, that he did feel a dog was an in-
vestment end sho�ild be controlled if inerely from a standpoint of preventin� a loss
and keeping',decent relations with the neighbors. Mr, Dittes stated he felt Mr.
Paulson should 'justiiy how compulsory licensin� of animals which says dogs must be
confined to the tlwner's property by pennin�� chainin� or t�eining, and if this
part of the oxdizlance was observed there wouldn't be any problem. Councilman
Wrigh� replied'�'Mr, Paulson's position was that no man can enforce this witho�at
regietration:' Mayor Nee inquired if it were possible to appoint comeone to worlj
out this problem�� that he did suspect Mr. Paulson feele the licensing would pro-
duce enough re4enues to take care of it and the real problem is that Mr. Paulson
is unable to go 'on prd�vate property to pick up dags. Councilman Wr�ght replied

stated he could see nothin� against compulsory registration. Councilman Wiight
stated he wovld contact Mr. Paulson to see if something could be presented to the
Council.
A resident in the area steted to the City Council many people in the affected area
were sincere when the petition was signed and didn't feel it was just a one woman
war. Mayor Nee replied no City Council had as yet ever found the solution. Mrs.
7ackie Strausa aeserted she would be opposed to an ordinence that meant they $ad
to renew a licenae after a year� that the fee was a tax on dogs and if they were
going to tex doge� they should tax cats also. Councilman Wright stated he wished
to make 3t'cl,ear that a non-recurring fee would increase the revenue. The City
Manager explalned the fees that were auggested would just cover the administration
even on a reaurring baeis. Councilman Sheridan stated he was in agreement with
the person who had mentioned if a person has an nnimal he cares about he would
see it is under control� penned or chained. Msyor Nee said it wae his �rnpression
that Mr. Paulson keepa the City elmoet clear of strays end the problem is the dag
that belonga to a youngster and it follows him around and eny person would tend
to think thie youngater should be able to have a dog. Councilman Wright explained
the•residents felt that if a procedure were effective� for example, a notif3cation
of the owner and whether or not it was succeasfully followed up by the dogcatcher
should be iollow�d. Mrs. Strauss replied the dogcatcher does alreedy do thie.
Mayor Nee inquired of the residents what they thought the etatus of the dog was
t hat belonged to a youngeter. The residents replied this dog should also be under
control: 'Origina.L motion by Sohanson to receive co�nunicetion and petition was
dropped. '' � '

CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTION 45.07:
Mayor�Nee announe�d the coneid�eration oP an ordinance to emend Section 45,07 of
the_City Code and concerning the usea permitted in an R-2 ➢istrict. The City Man-
ager gave the firat reading of said ordinance.
i ,
Motion by Sheridan to accept as first reading an ordinance amending Section 45.07
oi �he City Code and concerning the uses pe�mitted in an R-2 Dietrict. Councilmen
Wright»inquired if the,eeaence oi the ordinance was the remov�l of multiple dwe11-
inge and multiple dwelling groups, Mayor Nee replied the problem was that it did
not remove the''former R-2 classiYicetion. The City Manager explained it did and
that it was heing passed according to the Council's original intention. Seconded
by Johanaon. Councilman Sheridan stated it had been his contention as a member of
the City Counc3l tha� 3n the adoption of the present zoning in 1955 it stas general
knm�Z�dge and explained to the public that R-1 districts were for single family
daellings�- R-2 was for multiples of two family units and R-3 was for anything larger
than two femily units. He flarther stated that when the ordinance was wri�ten� a-
dopted� and puhliehed it did allow in R-2� multiple units more than two family
dwellinge and there were different reetrictions from what it did do in R-2 but it
could be done in R-3. Councilman Sheridan atated they had operated in this man-
ner for the last five or six years. He further stated it had been his contention
because of the orig3nal interpretation that it should be designated as R-1� R-2�
R-3 ae he had indicated and this had been the reason for the amendment. Upon a
roll'call vote� �hose voting aye, Nee� Sheridan, Wright, Johanson, Kirkham. Those
voting nay, none. The motion carried unenimously. ,
ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 32 - FIRST READING:
Mayor Nee'ennounced the firat reading oY an ordinance amendin� Chapter 32 concern-
ing the maintenance of fire extinguishers. The City Manager �ave the first read-
�'
�uu
�
ing oi s�id ordinsnce. Councllman Sheridan inquired if thie ordinance was re-'
commended by the Fire Department. The City Manager replied that it was in a
letter from them sometime ago and the City Attorney had drawn th3e'osd�.nance.
Gouncllman Wright inquired if the ordinance made provision for the type of ex-
tinguisher which can be tested but not recharged. Couneilman Johaneon felt�
�n his opinion, the ordinance did not make it compulsory to recharge exting-
u�shers tut it�would be at the discretion of the inspector. Councilman Wright
explained the anly question was that eome extinguishers can be ahecked by their
own meter and felt the City might be imposing a hardship. A disousaion period
followed regard3ng extinguishers, their use� maini,enance and typea. The Gi'�y �
Menager suggeeted to the City Council they could table the item until the next I
neeting and he would consult with the City Attorney and Fire Chief''in this re- �
�ard.
Motion by Wright, to t4ble the ordinance amending Chapter 32 of�the'City Code of
the City of Fridley by requiring approved fire extinguishera and the recharging
of same by competent persons i.o the next regular meeting. Seconded by 3heridan.

-1964 ORD�RTNG FINAL PLANS AND SP�CIFTCATIONS - W-34-Q„ W-
Mayor Nee announced a reaolution ordering final plans and specifiaationa on an
additional well and the lowering of snme pumps. City Eng3neer Qureshi expleined
the wells that were not operatimg in the proper manner and the set�ing of the
pump deeper in the well. Councilman Johanaon and Sheridan inquirad regarding'
the lowering of the pump capacity and the output of the questioned pump. C�ty
Engineer Qureshi replied the head basically would remain'the eame.` Councilman
Sheridan inquired if they would be lowering the pump £er enough'to increase the
depth of the pump. It was explained that no matterrhere the pump would be it has
to work agalnst the head and it is only the suction that was necessary to be re-
duced and it was better to lower the pump. C3ty Engineer Qureshi itiirther ex-
plained that at the beginning the assumptions made did not work out atld they did
not have enough data and there is addit�pnal Work to be done on these we1].s� too, I
because they are getting more �and than they should and there ie the, matter of I
further development� also. The degrees of water haxdnees were explained and J
dlscussed.
Mayor Nee stated this resolution calls for a preliminary plan on a drift well.
City Engineer Rureshi replied they were going to have the,eame �ituation in that
they did not have any data to back yp their assumptiona and thi�s Would be the
same, that lt does look good but it ie 3mpossible to tell if it'w1LL be the eeme.
Mayor Nee inquired of Mr. Comstock, coneulting engineer�`if he wouZd make'a aecom-
mendation es to whether they wanted to make a test. Mr. Comstock replied the re-
port doesn't cover the details but it was discuesed and City Engineer Qureehi's
memo covered this item, t1Uat their est3mate of a test hole would-be approximately
$8,000.00: He Surther etated they were proposing a test well up�to a certain
point and it might be abandonned but if it worka satisfactorily, $16',000.00 would
be completely recoverable. Mayor Nee inquired of Mr. Comstock'the d'epth'oF the
well and wes told it would depend on the location and it varies from 122 to 150
fect deep. Mr, Comstock further explained they felt the well Would suffice and
be adequate for a peak su�er demand in that the original driller's.logs showed
there was basically a clay layer at 70 feet and an artesian area belov that and
iumiediately below tha gravel on this hole is the St. Peter'and Sandetone'strain.
Councilman Johanson inqntred if they would be allowed to uae those beceuse at one
time they could not, Mr. Comatock replied this was correct�'a$ one,time, this
was looked on wit,h disfavor on the drift well but the standarde had been.changed
and a drift we11 is aviceptable for this installation on the Shakopee Dolomite
and exteneive etudies have been made oi nitrates and detergente.'' Mayor Nee in-
quired what percentage of au�er tlme output would be produced by tki3s installa-
tion. Mr. Comstock replied they didn't know but New Brighton flad a drift well
and it was working well and on Fridley's they wouldn't know until Che test hole
portion was completed. City Engineer q,ureshi stated if they'put,,in�a driPt well,
the only big problem was that�if there is any contaminatiori, they'would have to
have a retention for it but unlesa they go into it� they could not really tell.
It was further stated by City Engineer Qureshi if these wells sre auccessflil, the
seving would be really twice and they could put in two or three drift wells for
the price oi one wel7. He explained the hardness should not be'mor� than what
they now have in the water. Mr. Comstock replied it would be greater than the
Hinckley area, something more like the Dolomite. Councilman Bheridan etated the
question �hou�Ld ge one of quantity of water, not quality. Mr. Cometock replied
�L �'v . _

it would be eome of both and chlorination was available, He further explained
there wae'e�baeteTlologicaL problem and it would require stornge; that this

an& it'wouZd not"be a' case of adding eomething which won't be required as it

private lettera�were not"avallaHe that had been used over a period of time that
would give the right quality of the water. Mr. Cometock replled they hadn't
found one ,that would give them thia information. City Engineer Qureshi explained
� the quality varies and it ia poasible to get a different quality in different
placee. Mr. Cometoak'e�plained to the City Cauncil the State Board of Health was
looking fevorably on thie project and are knowledgeable the area has been serviced
by sanitary aewer for a long time,

RESOLUTION RECENIN6 FINAL PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND ORDERING SIDS - W-34-N:
IRON REMOVAL PLANT 1:
Mayor Nee aanounced a resolution receiving final plans and specifications and
ordering bide for an iron'removal plant and explained the issue was whether the
iron content was'bad enough ta warrant this expenditure. The City Mana�er re-
plied it was not too bad a problem and the cost was quite high. Mayor Nee stated
his feeling wae that unlesa they were willing to give the residents affected a
rate diiferential they should �ive them the water. City Engineer Qureshi stated
the syatem ie' deeigned for thsee paris per million and they were getting lower
than tha.t, Mr.'Cometoek� consulting engineer, stated thia was the guarranty but
it was a tenth or leas. City Engineer Qureshi explained that he h�d put in his
report they:had.'two tests thet showed one and five parte permillion and there is
five timea ae'much iron in the high level system, Councilman Sheridan st�ated it
had Ueen throughout the City during the peak of water consumption during the
su�er where there is agit�tion in the lines and this was �trhere the complain�s
had come from but with a normal operation there had been no complaints to his
knoWledge. City Engineer Qureshi replied they rarely had complaints and these
only when they Yluehed out a line. It was explained by Councilman Sheridan that
one of the'reasone they had had so many complaints was that in many cases they
had revereed the ilow of the linee plus the great demand or draw on the system
and this caused the agit�tion and at�.rring up of eome of the loose particles in
the water syetem but after a year of operation there probably woGldn't be ae
much of that. Mr. Cometock stated that originally they were adding polyphosphate
to hold the 3ron content in suspension and that when Fridley Commons tied in� it
did not have this suspenaion butr there were aome pretty good iron deposits in
the mains being ilushed through. Councilman Sheridan inquired, if in the further
davelopment of'the complete water system, if there would be any,additional areas
in the area of �Iell #'1. Mr. Comstock replied it was not enticipated, that it w�s
jus� eized for Well #1. Councilman Johanson suggested to members of the City
Couneil thie item be held in abeyance until they had received aome complaint:,.
Councilman Sheridan etsted that aptually he had felt the complaints were coming
from within the area be3ng served by the Commons Syatem. Mr. Comatock replied
the City Council should remember that originally everything was serviced by this
�
L���
�
well and the orig3n�a1 complaints and the original thought on the Conncil to
have iron removal came from Well #1 exper3ence. Mayor Nee inquired'if ,the City
did still put something in to keep the iron in suepension and was toldithey did
not. Councilman Sheridan asserted it would be good to hold the,item in abey-
�nce a�,though Mayor Nee had a good point in the payment to ouatomere"that were
affected. The City Manager cuggested to the City.CoUncil they eouYd�;det'er
action on the i�em and it would be just e matter of two weeks to get the bide
in if 6hey so decided.
