Ue sel, by t}ie Cii.y Council and would cover Ll�e licensing of the

Councllman Wrigt�t replied the beet advice they had been able to
obi,ain was llmi, it was recortimended to have a booster shot every

animals was as much a proi,ection for people with dogs as well as
anyone e]eP or more so.

iahen i.he Cit,y Council did seL the rate it would seem reasonable
to �;�ve a reduced rate k,o those who already had registered animals.
A7rs. SF�-aus inquired if the registration would be such that it
woul�l amaunt to anythin�. The question was also raised if there
wexc� an ordlnance at preeeni, rclat�ng to ch�nchillas. Cound lman
41riFht replied there was an ordinauce rclating to it but i� did not
cov�t the animals mentioned in tYiis ordinaoce. 7the question was
ra�sod bv another resident iF his do� barked who would decide
which ord�nance� the oTc� or new� it would be governed b,y. �ouncil-
man Wri�hf, replied that under both ordinances, they would have
to et�n n r_omplaint and would be heard in Municipal Court. The
quFGi,ion was raised if a person did sign a complaint when was the
aut,l�ority �iveri the ACO to covfiseate the animal. Councilman
Wr��ht replied ii, would l�ave'to go through Municipal Court
proceedinF;e and unless i.he ACO had a Court Os•der he could not go
on privat� property. I1, was explained by Councilman Wright the
A00 of Pr�dley is violentl,y opposed to wrong tactics and wes fair
�riinrle�l, 7'he question waG raised b,y Mrs. Straus why the license
r_ol�lcl not, l,e isnnsferred as a car license is transferable. Mayor
Tder• r�pLied this roras a beti,er license the❑ most and ii these were

P1r .�t,raus inquired reparding the registration if the City Council

Mayor Nee announced the consideration oP an prdinance for parkiug
in public parks and stated it had been brought before the Cii:y
Council at the request of Councilman Kirkham. Councilman Wright
stated the Parka and Playgrounds Committee was in favor of such a
control and it would eventually affest al1 pas•ks but Councilman
, Johanson's°point of view tha1. 3n the fuLure this ehould be de�i�,-
nated as a Frid].ey Park and Beach Permit was good. The Qity
- Manager gave the first reading of an ordinance amending Seci.ion
78 of the City Code to provide permits for parking in pu}�lic parks.
b1rs. Jackie Straus was present and inquired regaridng the p�rking
in perka and why it wae beixrg done, Mayor Nee replied the :taite
of Minnesota had the same type of re�ulation for parking� as an
example� and the argum�nt could be made that the C3ty of Pridley
is not so rich thst they cauld 'under�ixite parks for all of Anoka
County. Couneilman Kirkham explained this ordinance wss tq assure
that the citizena who are paying for the parks get uee of the parks
and are not overrun by outsiders� that there had already Ueen some
vandalism even before the park dedication and it was believed
thst much of the vandalism is from outsiders and it had been thought
it might control some of thiss He further explained that ii' a car
d3dn't have a parking sticker°there would be a little mare coni�rol
and it would preserve the parks for the people who are paying for
them, Mrs. Straus replied it was her opinion the parks should be
available to anyone and including outsiders� that when you drive
through a town it was good to 6e a61e to stop at a public parlc
and this is also done in Minneapolia. Councilman Johanson stated
he agreed with Mrs. Straus� {,hat he woultl rather see a sigv oF iuel-
come then one where people have to pay, Councilman Wright asserted
he annnurred with general park usage but where there is a niajor
investment of iunds he felt it would be reasonable to limit �ts
use, Mayor Nee suggested adjourning the question for Yurther
consideration. °

OTf�R BUSINESS:
The City Manager explained to the City Council they had previously
discusaed an emergency ordinance on the drift well and this could
be passed if they eo wiehed. Mayor Nee etated� at thie point� the
amounts and pricea should be brought into the minutea. Mr. Ice
Comstock� consulting engineer� etated they had received two informal
quotations for the pex�manent piping instsllation to connect Well
#6 to the exieting Pe�der line between the park propetty and the
school property� Fridley Co�nona; that one quotation had been from
Randall Brothera-in the approximate amount o� $2,499 and the other
from MeCurthy Well Company who were the contractore On the drift
we�l 3n the approximate amount aF $5�320. Mayor Nee inquired if
this were the permanent connection and was told this we,s correct
and these are the only txo companies that have the proper equip-
ment for under presaure tapping on each line. Mr. Comstock ex-
plained they also had a quotation f'rom McCarthy Well Company con-
cernin� the installation and removal from Well � oi the pt�ping
equipment eet-up ahich would deliver between 1200 and 1600 g�llone
per mitiute and for thie permanent connection into the Fridley
Water Syetem it would be at a price of ,$1�489,00 plue $12.50 per
day rental charge Yor a gas engine drive unit or $10.00 for an
electric driv2 unit; �het the figure of $1,489.00 also includea
the firet 15 daye of operation and the other chargee atart on the
16th day, He further explained the engineere had agreed the gas
engine should be the engine used� that they had not reoeived a
firm co�nitment from Northern States Power��Company to feed thie
end of the syetem and they could uae the electPic driven motor for
this inetallation but it would neceseitate the removal from the
system of one of the present welle and this wae the baeie for the
recoimnendation of the gas engine drive. Mayor Nee inquired if these
would be the only prices relevant to this emergency ordinance.
The City Manager inquired if they wiahed the additional costa
included in this ordinance or if they wished theee on a separate
motion. City Attomey Smith replied they could be ineluded in the
ordinance. Mr. Cometock explained for purposes of determining the
cost per 1000 gallone over the next 90 day period they had also added
to the coet operation and maintenence and cost oi.Puel estimate
at 10 cents per 1000 ga.11ona and asauming they would operate it
ten houre a day st 1000 ga]lone per minute every day of the 90
day period they would have produced 5�+ million gallona and if the
inatallation was run more than ten houra per day it would be leea.
4�
It was fUrther esplained that� conversely, at leae then ten houre
per day the coat would be more and thia would be higher than the
current cost. Mayor Nee informed the City Council� if they eo wished,
they could have a motion for an emergency ordinance, Councilmen
Wright inquired if the 8rift we�l had benefited ae yet and was told
it had not, Mr. Comstock explained as it was set up it could be
a6sndonned after the firet change of pumping� thet the contractor
had ordered the permanent screen on his own behalf with the under-
standing he would abeorb the cost but that thie day it had produced
600 gallona per minutee� sand free, that it wae still very dirty
and atarted out with a yield of 50 gallons per minutes and near
the end oP the test it wae up around E30 gallone. Mr. Comstock
aseerted there was still some queation about it. Councilman Wright
stated he wae calling Council attention to the fact they were spend-
ing money on something they were not sure of. Mr. Cometock stated
the teats ehould be completed before the end of the week and if
thie were inetitm�ed the delay involved would be about ten days
unless the contractor could locate the valve at Decatur� Iowa� that
nD WPrk could co�ence on this until the firet of the iollowing week
but the valve should be ordered and the only cost to theCity would
be the freight on the valve.

complaints regarding the "No Parking " signa on old Central Avenue
near the beach� t�hat I�e had f��t to alleviate the complainta.if
they changed the hours on the signa to noon to 9 p.m. it would
solve the problem. Councilmen Wright inquired if theCity Manager
could� without council action� put up signs acroae Rice Creek in
the boy scout area. It was so agreed.
Councilman Jok�aneon inquired �6f conatruction could Ue held up on
Srookview Drive until a week from thia meeting� that at the public
hearing on the srea they had aseured residents they would take care
of the sewer problem and Mr. Lindbloom wished to build and the sewer.

of. Covncilman Johanson explained the area involved and etated

cause he wasn't concerned putting in the sewer but he nbw wished

the item out� that the area hed been checked and Mr. Cheaney,
