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 Wiight stated he wovld contact Mr. Paulson to see if something could be presented to the Council.

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 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.

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.

' -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 . _ , , n n •I ' 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 atorage,wo�ild be,�aeceesary at the Fridl'ey 0ovm�ons area eite 1n the near future an& it'wouZd not"be a' case of adding eomething which won't be required as it would be,ne''cesa�ry anyalay. Hr. Comstock etated the worae condition would be chlorination and diainfection, It wae irquired by Councilman Sheridan if eome 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, Motivn by Johaneon to aaopt xESOLtrrzoN #39-196�+ ordering final plans ond specifi- cations on W-3�-Q� W-3k-R, additional well and lowerin� pumps.

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.
