COUNCIL MEETING OCTOSER 4, 1965: Motion by Sheridan to adopt the minutes of the regular Council Meeting of October 4, 1965 as submitted. Seconded by Wright. Upon a voice vote, Chere being no nays, the motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC EXAMINER - REQUEST FOR STUDY OF CITY POLICIES: Mayor Nee stated that in regard to the questions recently raised in the newspapers concerning the propriety of the use of City facilities by outside groups for non-City purposes, the Mayor i�as discussed this question with the PuUlic Examiner and asked the Public Examiner if he would be amenable to making a study of this question for the City. The Public �xaminer stated that he would be willing to examine these policies if the City so desires. The Mayor stated that he asked the City Managez to report concerning the present policies which the City follows in letting other groups use the City facilities for non- Gity purposes. The Mayor stated that he believes the discussion with the public Examiner was made under his oblig2tions to the City as delineated Uy the City Charter. The Ca.ty Manager stated that he did some research of the records in regard to the use by a11 non-City groups of the facilities including the use of City parks and the use of the Council meeting room in City Hall. The City Manager stated that it has been the policy to permit the use of City facilities by civic groups. The use of the facilities by non-civic groups or unorganized groups is permitted only when some Councilman would vouch for and would take responsibility for the group. The City Manager stated that often the cost to the City for letting other groups use the City facilrties, such as a meeCing room in City Hal1, is minimal amounting to the cost of electric lighting and �anitorial services. The City Manager stated that he had the City C1erk write a memo summarizing the uses of the City facilities Uy other groups The City Manager presented copies of this memo to the Council The City Manager asked the Council to establish a policy that the Administration 2�0 could follow in the use of City equipment and facilities by outside gro nps for non-City purposes. The City Manager stated that an example of such a use is a request from one of the executive members of the League of Women Voters to reproduce a stencil made by the League of Women Voters The Manager said that such use generally does not conflict with the use of this equipment by the City employees, and that some of this equipment is not available elsewhere in the City of Fridley to these groups. Another example of the use of the City equipment by non-City employees is the use of the Xerox machine. The Xerox machine is the only one of its kind in the City of Fridley, and the City normally has charged for copies made on the Xerox machine to anyone requesting such copies. The City Manager stated that it ' is difficult to determine the impartialrty of any reports which might be duplicated by means of City equipment, and he did not feel it would be wise to ask a City employee to attempt to determine the impartiality since it would take considerable time to study all the wrieten material which some of these groups wish to reprodu�e. _ The City Manager stated that he has kept a record since 1963 of the use of the Council meeting room by non-City Groups. He stated that the groups that used the Council meeting room the most were the "Footlighters" and the Fridley Tax Study Croup. The Republican Party Executive Committee has used the facilities four times, a DFL committee has used the facilities once, the League of Women Voters has held a few meetings at City Hall, St. Tdilliams Catholic Church ushers have used the City facilities as we11 as the Junior Chamber of Commerce. The City Manager stated that it wasjnot the intent of the Administration or a_�y member of the Administration to permit an improper use of City equipment or facilities. He stated that one example of the difficulty of determining whether the use requested for the City facilities is proper is the recent request by the Chamber of Commerce for use of the Xerox machine to duplicate a report on Urban Renewal. He stated that it would be extremely difficult to determine, with any less than a thorough study of the report, �ust how impartial and non-political such a report is, The City Manager suggested that the Council ask the Public Examiner to investigate the use of City equipment and facilities by these various non- crty groups, and advise the Council what policy should be set to govern the ' use of City facilities, The City Manager stated that he would hate to turn down a request from the Heart I'und Organization or the League of Women Voters to use the City equZpment and facilities. He stated that he did not believe the City would wish to discourage the use of City parks by church groups in the City af Fridley. Mayor Nee said that the information he received from the Public Examiner was that the City could either request the Public Examiner to audit all of the City�s books and services or make a specific request to the Public Examiner to investigate this question. The Mayor stated that the costs would run to $50 a day for each examiner, and the cost to have a Public Examiner audit all the City's services would be considerable, Mayor Nee asked the City Manager to draw a statement of a11 the past uses of City facilities by non-City groups in so far as he could do so. The City Manager stated that the City keeps a record of the use of the Xerox machine but not of the mimeograph or addressograph machines. He stated that he could ask the employees of City Ha11 to report, in so far as they are able to remember, the use of this equipment by non-City groups. The City Manager stated that all the City employees would be happy to cooperate in such an examination. The Mayor pointed out that the school board has established charges for the use oi school facilities by non-school groups. He stated that a question � exists whether the fee covers the cost o� whether it more than covers the cost. Motion by Wright that the Council first approve the action of the Mayor in contacting the Public Examiner, secondly, receive the report of the City Manager in regard to the question before us, and thirdly, to request the Public P�xaminers office to study all practices relating to the use of City Ha11 and City equipment and facilities 6y private groups and organizations in order for the Council to establish an official policy.

No one present had any questions or comments concerning the final plat. Mayor Nee asked the City Engineer whether he had a copy of the final plat. The City Engineer stated that a copy was delivered to City Ha11, but was packed up to correct the street name given on the plat, Councilman Wright suggested that rather than extending Starlight Boulevard to Mississippi Street, a cul-de-sac be established at the end of Starlight Boulevard north of Satelite Lane � Mayor Nee declared the hearing closed Motion by Sheridan to accept the final plat of Sylvan Hills Plat 8 Seconded by Wright.

BUILDING PERMIT - 6001/6005 UNIVERSITY AVENUE NORTHEAST - MARCHIAFAVA: (TABI.ED 10/4/65): Mayor Nee asked the City Manager whether he received any plans of the proposed building request of Mr. Marchiafava The City Manager stated that he discussed thi_s request with Mr, Marchiafava, but that Mr. Marchiafava did not appear to understand the need to submit plans for the building, He asked Councilman Wright whether he had been able to discuss this with Mr. Marchiafava. Counc�nan Wright stated that Mr. Marchiafava did not ca11 him, and he was unable to locate Mr. Marchiafava Motion by Sheridan to table the request of Mr. Marchiafava for a Building Pexmit until such time as the Council has the necessary information to be able to consider his request.

SIIPPLEMENTAL MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT, SUPPLEMENTAL CSCROW AGRE�MENT, RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AGREEMENT WITH COLUMBIA HEIGHSS - SS�F12 (TABLED 10/4/65): 232 The City Manager stated that he had not received information from the Crty Manager of Columbia Heights concerning the action by Columbia Heights on these agreements. Councilman Wright stated that he had conversation with the Mayor of Columbia Heights, and would like to report concerning this conversation. Councilman Ldright stated that the Mayor of Columbia Heights agreed that it is inevitable that this pro�ect would have to be constructed at some time. IIe stated that Columbia Heights is concerned since the estimates given to Columbia Heights for the cost of construction were below the actual bids received for the construction, whereas, the bids for the Fridley portion were below the estimates given to the City of Fridley for the construction. The City of Columbia Heights has available to it, the bond monies based upon the maximum estimate which the City of Columbia Heights received for the cost of construction, but this amount does not cover the share of Columbia Heights for the construction, and it is necessary for Columbia Heights to put special assessments upon the property in order to fund the remaining costs. Mayor Nee asked the City Manager what time the City has to accept tids for SS�k12. The City Manager stated that the City could accept the bids up until November lOth. Mayor Nee asked the City Attorney what could be done to achieve an agreement with Columbia Heights on this pro�ect. The City Attorney answered that what could be done depends upon the Public Hearing being held in Columbia Heights concerning the special assessments necessary to pay for part of the pro�ect. The City Attorney suggested that consideration of the agreements could be left until later in the agenda, that the Council could approve the contracts and authorize the Administration to sign same providing Columhia Heights also approves the contracts The City Attorney stated that he has begun condemnation proceedings for the easements needed for construction of 55��12. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 56 - SIGNS (TABLED 8/16/65, 9/20/65, 10/4/65): Mayor Nee stated that he received a request from the Chamber of Commerce to table consideration of the proposed amendment to Chapter 56 until the regular Council Meeting of November 1, 1965. The City Manager reported that he did not place the hand bi11 ordinance on the agenda, since he has heard nothing from the Chamber of Co�erce or other groups concerning the hand bill ordinance Motion by Wright to table to the regular Council Meeting of November 1, 1965 consideration of the proposed amendment to Chapter 56 - Signs.

The City Manager explained that the Ordinance provides for the membership of a �oint Parks and Recreation Commission, representation of the recreation function to the Council through the City Manager, representation of the Parks function of the Commission to the Planning Commission, and, thence, to the Council. Councilman Wright stated that he would urge the Council to adopt the Ordinance He stated that the Ordinance has been approved by both committees separately and together. Councilman Sheridan stated that there was a question in his mind wk�ether the structure of the combined group would be weighted towards either Parks or the Fecreation Commission. He stated that if it were found to be so the Ordinance could always be amended to correct such a situation. Councilman Wright stated that he believes the combined group would provide more coordination than the City had before the Parks and Recreation Director was hired. lIe stated that if it turns out that the Commission is weighted more toward Parks or towards Recreation than it should be, this could be changed by changing the membership on the Commission Motion by Wright to Seconded by Sheridan carried unanimously.

He stated that the Planning Commission recoccmiended the Council take no action until the I3uilding Board reviews L-he request The City Manager suggested that the Council may want to authorize Mr. Hodne to work with Winslow & Associates to draw the plot plan for this area. Mr, Vernon Plaisance and Mr. Ear1 Burkhardt were present at the Council Meeting representing Winslow & Associates, and Mr. Burkhardt stated that he attended the Planning Commission meeting and the Planning Commission declined to act on his request and passed it on to the City Council He stated that the Planning Commission took the position that Winslow & Associates should develop a plan for the entire eleven acre plat before the Planning Commission considers rezoning or a special use permit, Mr Burkhardt stated that he would ask the Council to grant the same consideration to Winslow & Associates granted to the petitioner for construction of a rmrsing home east of the hospital. Mr. Burkhardt stated that the only reason a nursing home was not located west of the hospital, in his opinion, was that no one bought this property and considered building a nursing hame upon this property. Mr. Burkhardt stated that Winslow & Associates are amenable to developing this property, but would like assurance that if the property is platted Winsl�ow & Associates would receive a special use permit for construction of the nursing home, Councilman Wright asked Mr Burkhardt whether he is aware that Hodne Associates are preparing a land use plan for the entire Cit3 of Fridley. 'Mr. Burkhardt stated that he was not aware of this fact and asked whether it would be possible for Winslow & Associates to contact Hodne Associates and work with them in drawing a plat plan for the eleven acre tract. Councilman Wright stated that Hodne Associates is prohibited from working with private developers unless authorized to do so by the Council. Mr. Burkhardt stated that Tdinslow & Associates have plans to establish a buffer zone around the nursing home and separate it from the surrounding residential area. He explained his plans to the Council and shcW,� the Council a plot plan of the nursing home upon the eleven acre tract. Comuilman Wright stated that he believes it is the opinion of the Council that the professional planner could clarify the plans of Winslow & Associates and make a plan which would be in the best interest of the City of Fridley. Councilman Wright stated that the Council rezoned property east of Unity Hospital and considered doing the same with property west of the hospital. Mr. Burkhardt stated that Tdinslow & Associates would be happy to work with the City planner or with any other City officials to draw a plat of this 1and, Mr. Plaisance stated that he would ask the Council to give Winslow & Associates a special use permit this evening contingent upon the acceptance by the Planning Commission and the Council of the plat under preparation by Winslow & Associates. Mr. Plaisance stated that Winslow & Associates built a number of nursing homes and owns some of these nursing homes He stated that this construction is not for speculation, but Winslow & Associates built a number of nursing homes and owns some of these nursing homes. He stated that this construction is not for speculation, but Winslow & Associates built a number of nursing homes and owns some of these nursing homes He stated that this 236 construction is not for speculation, but Winslow & Associates is in the businness of building and operating nursing homes Mr. Plaisance stated that in his opinion �here is no need to have a planner review the plat of the eleven acre tract. He stated that the location of the nursing home ad,7oins the hospital, and this location is appropriate for a nursing homes. Mr. Plaisance stated that he does not care what is done with property on the east side of the hospital, Mr. Plaisance stated that there is a need for more nursing homes in the City of Fridley and he believes that construction of additional nursing homes would help to satisfy that need. He stated that when Winslow & Associates made applications in other Cities, they were informed that previous applicants had already requested permits for ' construction of nursing homes, and for this reason other Councils considered denying the request of Winslow & Assoc7ates. He stated, however, that it was the experience of Winslow & Associates. that construction of their nursing home in addition to the others did not provide too much nursing home space. He stated that in some circumstances the other nursing homes were never built. Mr. Plaisance asked the Council to grant a special use permit to Winslow & Associates this evening contingent upon approval by the Planning Coirmtission of the plat of the eleven acre tract in order that Ldinslow & Associates could continue planning and begin construction of the nursing home in the Spring. He stated that the design of the nursing home is not done in any short period of time but requires several months of planning. He stated that if the special use permit is granted to Winslow & Associates immediately, then Winslow & Associates could begin planning the use of this plat. Councilman Sheridan asked Mr. Plaisance whether Winslow & Associates owns this property. Mr. Plaisance answered that Winslow & Associates does not own this property at this time, but has a purchase agreement contingent upon obtaining a special use pemtit for construction of the nursing home. Councilman Sheridan asked Mr. Plaisance how long this purchasing agreement is in effect. Mr. Plaisance answered that he does not know. Councilman Sheridan asked Mr, Plaisance whether Winslow & Associates would agree to dedicate part of the property for construction of 75th Street. Mr. Plaisance examined the plan and stated that he believes Winslow & Associates ' would have no ob�ections to dedicating a street easement on 75th Avenue Northeast, The City Attorney stated that the City is in the process of obtaining that easement at Che present time. Councilman Wright informed Mr. Plaisance that he believes it is propez for the City Council to request Winslow & Associates to integrate planning of this eleven acre tract with City plans �ust as the Council has asked other developers to integrate planning of new subdivisa.ons with planning done in the rest of the City. Councilman Wright stated that if Winslow & Associates agrees to coordinate their plans with those�of the City, they could consult with the City Planning Consultant, Mayor Nee stated that the nursing homes are proposed to be built in a good residential neighborhood. He stated that, whereas, this is not a radical use for a residential neighborhood, he believes the neighbors would want to consider the construction of the nursing home before the Council grants a special use permit for its construction. He stated that the Council agrees that the location of the nursing home �.n a residential neighborhood is not imcompacible with its use. He stated that good planning of the tract would insure that construction of the nursing home would not encroach upon the uses of the area. Mayor Nee stated that he does not believe it is unreasonable that Winslow & Associates delay planning of the nursing home in order to insure a we11 developed and well planned plat. Councilman Wright informed Mr. Plaisanace that Mr. Plaisance was asking for , a departure from thelasual procedures and policies of the City in asking that a specLal use pe�.it be granted Lmmediately without gropeily recording a glat and assurring that the plan would be pxoperly worked out. Councilman Wright stated that if the plat of the eleven acre tract is developed in a good way by a professional planner, the Council would probably approve the special use permit for the nursing home. Mr. Burkhardt asked the Council what Winslow & Associates would have to do to get permission to discuss these plans with the City Planner. Mayor Nee answered that the Council could authorize the City Planning ConsultanY to caork with Tdinslow & Associates, 2;�7 Mayor Nee stated that he is concerned with gett-ing a good reaction on the part of the neighborhood to construction of the nursing home, He stated that the Council must hold a Public Hearing upon this request Councilman Sheridan stated that it is mandatory that the Council hold a Public Hearing before issuing the special use permit. He stated that if the Council were to grant a special use permit contingent upon proper planning, the special use pexmit could be removed and Winslow & Associates would receive no gain since the Special use pexmit would not have been given to Winslow & Associates under the proper procedures, � Mr. Burkhardt asked the Council if the Council were to grant the special use permit for construction of the nursing home on the east side of the hospital, would Council grant a permit for construction of a nursing home on the west side of the hospital. Councilman Wright answered that he does not believe construction of a nursing home on the east side of the hospital would matter to the Council. 1 � Motion by,-Wright to authorize Hodne Associates to consult with Winslow & Associates in connection with a plan for the proposed eleven acre tract owned by Winslow & Associates at the option and expense oP Winslow & Associa'es.

Mr. Harry Brooks was present at the Council Meeting representing the Standard Oil Company and asked the Council to consider the request for rezoning this property.

He showed the Council aerial photographs of the neighborhood. Mr. Brooks stated further that if the out- door theatre in the neighborhood moves, this area will probably be converted ' to a general shopping area, and he feels this further argument should �ustify his request for rezoning of this property. Mr. Brooks stated that this property is located �ust to the north of the theatre, and that present property which is zoned commercially is tw far south from the intersection of West Moore Lake and T. H. ;F65 to make construction of a service station on the property already zoned C-2 desirable. Councilman Sheridan asked Mr. Brooks what the Standard Oil Company contemplates for the remainder of nhe 3-3/4 acre srte in addition to construction of a service station. Mr. Brooks answered that the Standard Oil Company believes the rest of the site would be a good location for a restaurant and a motel.

He stated that he does not wanY to see the property imznediately behind his horzse used as a service station. fte stated that he believes the Federal Housing Administration and the Veterans Administration are not allowed to authorize loans on property in such close proximity to business places, since the location of business places in such proximity to homes lowers the value of the property for residential use.

CITY ENGINEER: SEWER SYSTEM (SYZVAN HILLS); The City Managex stated that he requested a memo from Che City Engineer concerning the sewer system in Sylvan Hills before Mr. Powell called and asked that the matter be brought to the attention of the Council, The City Manager stated that examination of the sewer in Sylvan Hi11s shows that these sewer lines are already surcharged. The City Manager stated that construction to alleviate this problem would cost $20,000 and may not accomplish a great deal. The City Manager stated that he Uelieves construction at an estimated cost of less than 51,000 to connect 4 homes to the lift station in Sylvan Hi11s would relieve the problem to these four homes. The City Manager stated that connection of the sanitary sewer system north of Rice Creek into the mains of the North Suburban Sanitary Sewer District would do a great deal to alleviate the problem in Sylvan Hi11s. Mayor Nee stated that the City is in process of applying for connection to the North Suburban Sanitary Sewer District lines The Mayor also stated that the City has made an application for $500,000 of federal funds to clean the City sanitary sewers and for reconstruction of damage done to the City sanitary sewers The Mayor stated that he believes the Cicy will obtain approval of most of these funds. Mayor Nee stated that American Pipe Services Company has made a thorough study of the sanitary sewer system in the City of Fridley, and the study indicates that a ma�or part of the problem is accumulation of debris in the sanitary sewers The Nlayor stated that once these pipes are cleaned and sealed he believes the problem will not be as critical as it is now. Mayor Nee stated that he Uelieves the City will know within another week whether or not Federal Aid wi11 be available for cleaning the sewer system. Mr. Ernest Powell, 6241 S�Inrise ➢rive Northeast, was present at the Council Meeting and stated that he and his neighbors have asked the Council to alleviate the sanitary sewer back flooding in Sylvan Hi11s several times since March lst Mr. Powe11 stated that he knows of eleven homes in Sylvan Hills that have had a more or less continual problem since March lst with sanitary sewer back flooding. He stated that Mrs. Burn's home had been flooded from sanitary sewer back flooding before March lst, consistently. Mr, Powell stated that it is necessary for the residents of SyLvan Hills to plug and stop the drains in the basement of these homes. Mr. Powell stated that the afternoon of this day, tfie Public Works Department notified the residents to plug the sanitary sewers again He stated that it has been said at Council Meetings that this back flooding would Ue alleviated, and yet this same day the Public Works Department notified them to plug their sewers. He asked where the residents stand in regard to their repeated requests for having this sewer problem alleviated Mayor Nee stated that in regard to Mr. Powe11's question the North Suburban Sanitary Sewer District has stated that their lines wi11 be available to the ��� City for connection within a few days. The City Engineer stated that these property owners were notified to plug the sewers in their hasements this day because of a water main break in Donnay�s Addition. He stated that this was strictly a precautionary measure, and that the water did not cause a back-up in the sanitary sewer. Mr. Harvey Day, 6221 Sunrise Drive Northeast, asked whether construction of a new apartment building would con tribute additional sewage into the line w hich will back-flood into these homes. Mr. Comstock answered that the connection from the apartment building will be into the interceptor which serves Sylvan Hills, and that he does not anticipate that the additional flow should cause ' back-flooding in Sylvan Hills. Mayor Nee stated that he believes partof the sanitary sewer system of the City wi11 be connected to the N.S.S.S.D. before the load from the apartment is added to this interceptor, Mr, Day Asked how long it will be before the American Pipe Company cleans these lines. Councilman Wright answered that the American Pipe Company has established four priority areas in the City and will clean these lines according to priority before cleaning any of the others Councilman LJright stated that the Council has been planning to connect part of the sanrtary sewer system to the N.S.S.S.D. He stated that nego- tiations are under way with the district for such connections. He stated that some of these negotiations involve a trade of the capacity the City has with the City of Minneapolis for free connections to the N.S.S.S,D. Councilman Wright stated that the exact details of such a trade have to be � rked out before such connection is ma3e. ` Mr. Day asked the Council to notify the residents in the area when they could pull the plugs in their basement drains and make free use of their basements again. Mrs. E1lingson stated that it has been two months since the American Pipe Company surveyed the sanitary sewer lines in the City of Fridley and she saw no reason for the delay. She stated she is getting sewer gas in the basement of his home, andhas been informed that this is due to the disuse � of the sanitary sewer connection. Mayor Nee stated that the two months have been spent by the American Pipe Company in anylyzing the results of their survey. Mayor Nee stated that he believes connection of the sanitary sewer system north of Rice Creek to the lines of the N,S.S.S.D. will solve the problem for this area. He stated that it has been shown that when the lift station at Rice Creek is disconnected, the surcharging of the sanitary sewer system south of Rice Creek stops, indicating that the sewer will flow normally once this part of the sanitary sewer system is diverted to the N.S.S.S.D. lines. The Council took no action upon this request.

He stated that in some parts of the City of Fridley the alley is platted, whereas, generally in the City of Fridley there is no platted alley. Council- man Wright stated that the property owners in this block have built garages ��� along the alley, and that the property owners cannot obtain access to these grages from the front of their property and must use the alley for access to their garages.

Councilman Wright stated that the property owners have indicated an intention to pay for paving and maintenance of this alley, Councilman Wright stated that he suggested to the property owners that an asphalt mat be laid upon the alley. Councilman Wright suggested that the City build such an alley as an experiemntal pro�ect and maintain it for one year to find out if such construction is satisfactory � where the use pattern makes it necessary. The City Engineer stated that communities putting in alleys find that a - black top a11ey does not hold up and it is difficult to maintain. He stated that most of these communities build a concrete alley, Councilman Wright asked what is the cost of construction of a concrete alley The City Engineer stated that he did not know, but that it would be quite expensive. Councilman Wright stated that h e sees nothing wrong with the construction of an asphalt a11ey. Mr. Comstock stated that a blacktop alley is difficult to maintain, and that it is better to make the construction of the a11ey pexmanent and of concrete in order to reduce maintenance cost Councilman Ldright stated that a paved mat in the alley could be shaped so as to form a center swale for draining water from �he a11ey. The City Manager stated that the Administration is not opposing or recommending against the construction of this alley, however, paved blacktopped alleys require excessive maintenance Councilman Wright stated that the experience to which theCity Manager refers is in municipalities other than Fridley and he stated that Fridley ought to attempt this pro�ect to determine its feasibility before deciding it is not feasible in the City of Fridley, Councilman Wright stated that if it is found that such a pro�ect is not feasible the City could drop such a pro�ect, Mr. David Schaper, 5301 - 4th Street Northeast, was present at theCouncil Meeting, He stated that he lived in Columbia Heights before he lived in the , City of Fridley, that he had a blacktop alley at that time, and the blacktop alley worked very we11. The Mayor asked Mr. Schaper whether this alley was a blacktop mat or P&H mix. Mr. Schaper answered that he did not know IKr.Schaper stated that he also believes construction of any kind of an alley would be better than the present conditions. Councilman Wright stated that if experience with the construction of the a11ey shows that it would be better for the City to plow the alley in the winter time and to grade it periodically in the suaaner time the City can do so. Mr. Otten, 5311 - 4th Streat Northeast, stated that the water from this block is flooding basements in the area, and one basement has had Four inches oF Fater in it which has ruined the furniture in the basement. Mr. Otten stated that 10 of the 16 property owners living in the block signed the petition, and these property owners know that the improvement wi11 cost money Councilman Sheridan suggested that the engineering department conduct a feasibility study of the project, estimate the cost of the improvement and make recommendations to the Council. Motion by Wright to authorize and direct the Administration to conduct a feasibility study of the improvement of the alley between 53rd Avenue and 54th Avenue Northeast in the block between 4th Street and Sth Street Northeast, considering various surfaces for the a11ey with alternates and make estimates of the cost of same, Seconded by Sheridan.

QUOTATION: BdLANCE OF LOCKE PARR CL�AN UP The City Manager stated that there is considerable work left to be done in Locke Park. The City Manager stated that he could not determine from the list of bids who was the lowest and best bidder for the pro�ect. He stated that perhaps the City Attorney would want to have the City advertise for bids. The City Manager stated further that a11 the bids received were based upon an hourly rate for the clean up and in addition some of the bidders estimated the maximum amount of the cost for the pro�ect. He stated that he believes it would be difficult to write a set of specifications for the work and hence, it would be difficult to ask for bids for the work. Mayor Nee asked whether there is any possibility of getting recommendations of the best contractor for the work from members of the School of Forestry of the University of Minnesota. The City Manager stated that the City obtained the help of the Forest Service when the JC's were working in Locke Park. The City Attorney stated that he did not know how the City could get around advertising for bids for the work unless the City considers this project a�1 emergency. Councilman Wright stated that the pro�ect would be paid with emergency funds and that there might be some logic to considering this pro�ect an emergency in order to save the time and expense of calling for bids. Council- man Wright asked whether the Parks Director is competent to review these bids, The City Manger suggested that perhaps the City could obtain a set of specifica- tions to use for bids Erom the School of Forestry from the University of Minnesota. Wilbur Whitmore stated that the JC's found it expedited the work to use a stump cutter and a boom truck. He stated that it is quite expensive to use a stump cutter and the JC's obtained a cut rate for the use of the stump cutter He stated that it costs 510 per stump ordinarily to use the stump cutter. Councilman Kirkham stated that he hopes whoever does the work will use a chipper and spread the chips around the park for compost. Wilbur Whitmore stated that some of the work needs to be done on a steep hillside and would require a bulldozer in order to perform the work. 1 � � �� (� � ^� Councilman Sheridan asked whether the County has a forestry supervisor. The City Attorney answered that the County Agricultural Agent would know. The City Manager suggested the Council table the item until more inFormation could be proucured concexning the work.
