Councilman Harris said that if all the emergencies o£ the tornado had been
checked into� the City would still be checking.
Councilman Sheridan stated that we have all learned a lesson from what has
hagpened herae He felt the Administration should pass a memorandum around
instructing the operating entities of the City forces that they are not to
go in on privately-owned property as was done here. He stated that right
or xrong, this was an error on the driverts part, and they all know it, so
it xill not happen again. He said that this as distasteful for the Councila
£or the neighbors in the area and we should see thaz this is eluninated.
He stated that he had discussed this with the gentlemen present and with the
Mayor� and he feels the City Manager should remind the operating entitie�
rnthir the City to make sure this does not happer again.
M�or Kirkham said that to matfe sure that everyane understood his opinion
on this� he wanted to assure all of the citizens that if any lake incident
were to occur again and he got a call askir,g for the services of a doctor
or nurse or anything else where City services could be of assistance� he
would act in the same manner as he just had. He azid he would trust thP
opinion of th� professional people involved as to whether there was ar�
emergency� and he would turn again to professicnal people and talk to the
Police Department ar,d give them the problem and let them handle it to the
best of their ability.

Dear Mr. Herrick:
YoL:r request for an opinion of this office is based on the following
FACTS
'�The City of Fridley operates under a Home-Rule Charter
adopted in 1957. Section 2.05 pronides that wkten a vacancy ex3sts in
a council seat that the council shall declare by resolution that such
a vacancy exists and shall forthwith appdint an eligible person to
fill the same.
"Section 3.04 requires every resolution to be presented in writing
and read in £ull at a council meeting.
"Section 3•o4 further provides that a ma�ority vote of all of the
members of the counc2l shall be required far the passage of a11 ordi-
nar.ces� motians and resalutions.
� _9
��ht the first regular meeting of the City Council in January 1966
the newly- elected mapor was sworn in and accepted office. He had been
the Councilman from the first ward and consequently there would be a
vacancy in the seat of the Councilman from the first ward. Thereupon
a motion was made to appoint a person to that seat. The motion xas
seconded and carried by a vote o£ 3 to 1. The new councilman was ,
declared appointed and took the oath bf office and has been serving
from that time to date. A11 of the business transacted to date has
been adopted by a sufficient ma�ority so that his vote would not be
necessary to confirm valid passage of any act o£ the city council.��
QUESTIONS
F'lo Was the appointment of the first ward councilman valid with-
out the reading and passage of the resolution requir�d by the charter?
tt2. Does the first ward couttcilman have a va].id vote as a member
o? the city council at the present time?
r-
--b�
l�/!�/66
"3. If it is necessary to have the city council adopt a written
resolution declaring the vacancy, xill it also be necessary for the
city council to £orma].13- proceed wi.th another motion to appoint an
eligible person to fill tha same?
OPINION
1. The full text o£ 2.05 of the Fridley Charter reads as follows:
� ��A vacancg an the council shall be deemed to exist in case of the
failure of any person elected thereto to qualify on or before the date
o£ the second regular meeting of the new council' or Uy reason of the
death� resignation� removal from of£ice� removal from the city�
removal of a Nard councilman from his ward, continuous absence from
the city for more than three months, or convietion of a felony} of
any such person whether be£ore or after his qualification, or by
reason of the failure of any eouncilman without good cause to per£orm
any o£ the duties of inembership in the council for a period of three
months. In each such case� the eouncil shall by resolution declare
such vacancv to exist and shall Torthwith appoint an �liK�ble person
same unLil Lne nexc reeular IDllL11C1A11 elecLion
The vacancy hera was aaused by a resignation. It is a well-settled rule
of conunon law that where two offices are incompatible� undoubted�y the case
here� the acceptance of the second operates as a resignation of the £irst,.
Anno. 100 A.L.R. 1164. The rule is followed in Minnesota. Kenr,e �v. Geor en,
36 Minn. 190, 31 N.id. 210; Hoffman v. Downs, 1l�5 Minn. 1�6 � 177 N.W. 9�
State ex rel. hilton v. Sword� 7 Minn. 2 3� 196 rr.W. 467. Resignation
results from the acceptance o£ the second of£ice and a formal notice of resigna-
�ion is unnecessary to bring about the result.
Since a resignation took place� 2.05 0£ the Fridley Charter would ag�gly.
It xas not followed� however� and the question therefort is whether the failure
� to declare existence of the vacancy by resolution invalidates the appointment.
We are not concerned with a defect arising from the passage of a motion instead
of a resolution (see Iandahl v. Inde endent ,4,chool District Aro. 306, 270 rlinn.
16�, 133 N.w. 2d 23)� u rat er wit the complete fai ure to declare by motion
or resolution the eacistence of a vacancy.
Easad upon the facts presented the following conclusions or asswyptions=
as the case may be� are made. The existence of the vacancy was undisputed�
Each of the four rranai.ning members of the counesl were fully aware of the
fact that the one councilman had been elected to and assumed the of£ice of
mayor. It srould appear that the motion calling for the appointment to i'ill
the vacancy was in proper form ar.d clear�y understood. The vote on the motion
was recorded as required by 3.0l� of the city charter� and a ma�ority oF the
remaining members did in fact vote in favor of the appointment. Fina1]y' the
person appointed to fill the vacancy acc�pted the office and was sworn in by
the proper authorities.
Upon these facts� I am of the opinion that the appointment of the first
ward councilman is not affected by the failure to read and pass a resolntion
declaring that of£ice vacant.
.. The general rule with respect to proeedures to be followed in maicing
appointments is stated in 3 McQuillin '�Municipal Corporations�t (3d Ed. Rev,)
7.�'r8lt as fo]1ows:
� "Subject to the e�cception that inadvertent or harmless errors
or variations may frequent�y be disregarded� the method oP appoint-
ment o£ offieers and employees must conform with the requirements
o£ the law� including home rule, civil ssrvice and others, and the
appointment is deemed to be complete when the last act required oi
the person or boc�y vested uith appointing power has been performed.��-�'
���
4/4/66
At mosti the £ailure to adopt a foxmaZ resolution was an inadvertent or
ha.rmless error that obviously did not affect the consensus of the oouncil.
It does not appear that any of the voting me�abers were misled or that their
vote would have been different if a resoluticn had been passed. It is note-
worthy that no other independent of£icer or agency was involved 3n either
determining the eacistence of the vacancy or in the appointMent. Th� duty
and responsibility to fill the vacancy resided solely with the eouncil and
all that was required under the Fridley Charter to perfect an appointment�
aside from passage of a resolution, was the passage of an ordinary motion
by a simpye majority. Under these facts I am of the opinion that the �
appointment is valid.
2. EVen if it wereci#termined that passage o£ a resolution is an essen-
tial step ia the process of fi7.7ing a vacancy� failure to do so does not
affect an appointee's of£ici�l actions. The general rule is atated at
43 A�m Jur. °Public 0£ficers" ly81:
"-�t ##(T)hat srhen an official person or body has apparent authority
to appoint to public o£fice, and apparent],y exercises such authority,
and the person so appointed enters on such o£fiae, and performs its
duties, he will be an o£ficer de factor notwithstanding there was
want of gower to appoint in the body or persor, who professed to do so,
or although the power vas exercised in an irre�zlar manner."
Pursuant to the above rule, if failure to pass the resolution were to
affect the title to office, the appointee nevertheless aerves as a de £acto
officer. As such o�"ficer� any action taken by hi.m under authority of- his
office is deemed va7id as to the p�}blic and third persons. 15 Dun. Pig.

Honorable Virgil G. Herrick
Fridley City Attorney
6231 Univer�ity Avenue Northeast
Minneapolis� Minnesota
Dear Mr. Aerrick;
Your request for an opinion o£ this office is based upon the following
FACTS
�
nPhe City of Fridley is 8 city of the Third Class� operating �
under a home rule charter. The charter providas that 'The Municipal
Court shall exia�t. as now constituted, except as modi£ied by state
lat,r�. The Minnesota Legislature� 1965 Session Laxs� Chapter 760�
provided that the City of Fridley shall have a Chief Municipal Judge
and an Associate Niunicipal Judge. The City Charter £urther provides
that the Council shall agpoint a City Attorney. In addition, the
City has employed a Prosecutin� Attorney� xhose duty it is to repre-
sent the City on all matters in the Municipal Court."
��Q�
1�/4/66
The folloei.ng facts are to be assumed:
"1. The Chief Municipal Judge presiries over all contested cases
in which the City is a party.
"2. The Prosecuting Attorney represents the City in these
contested cases.
"'3. The Associate Municipal Judge and City Attorn�y do not parti-
� cipate in at� contested cases in the Municipal Court in which the City
is a party."
QUESTION
mPurauant to the above £acts� are the positions of Associate Municipal
Judge and City Attorney 3ncompatible?"
OPINIOAI
The faets which you ask us to assume testify to the incompatibzlity oi' the
offices of associate municipal judge and city attorney. Not on�y are we to
assume that the duties of the city attorney will be restricted, but also that
the assignments of the associate municipal �udge are to be so arranged that the
duties of each office rrill not directly involve those of the other. The
necesaity for such ad�ustments and restrictions in the normal duties o£ these
offices is proof of their incompatibility. As stated at !�3 Am. Jur. "Public
Officers" �70� g� 93b:
"Incompatibility o£ offices eacists where there is a conflict in the
duties of the offices� so that the per£ormance of the duties of the
one interferss with the performance o£ the duties of the other. This
is something more than a physlcal impossibility to discharge the
duties of both offices at the same time. They are generally eonsidered
incompatible where such duties and func�^,a.mns ara inh�rently incox�sistent
� and repugnant so that� because of the contrariety and antr,gonism which
xould result from the attempt of oae person to discharge faithful]y,
impartial�y, and eFficient]y the duties o£ both offices, considerations
of public policy render it improper for an incumbent to retain both.
It is not an essential element of incompatibility of offices at common
lasr that the clash o£ duty shouLd e�cist in all or in the greater part of
the official £unctions. I£ one office is superior to the other ia��some
of its principal or amportant duties� so that the exercise af such duties
may con£lict� to the public detriment� with the exercise o£ other
�snportant duties in the subordinate office, then the offices are incom-
patible. It is iromaterial on the question of incom atibilit that the
party need not and probably will not undertake to act in oth of£ices
same time. '1'he admitted necessitv oY such a
In diacussing the nature of tha conflict o£ duty giving rise to incom-
patibility, the writer�of 3 McQuillin� Municipal Corporation� #12.67
said at p. 299:
"�Neither is it pertinent to ss�y that the conflict in duties rnay never
arise, it is enough that it m�y, in the regular operation of the
statutory plan. Nor is it an answer to say that if a conflict should
arise� the incumbent may omit to perform one of the incompatible roles.
The doctrine was designed to avoid the necessity for that ehoice."
� Citing that portion of Rm. Jur. quoted a�ove� it was held in Op. Atty. Gen.
358b-2, January 17� 1952� that the offic�s of special municipal �udge and
village attorney for the same mumeipality are incompatible. The author of
this opinion called attention to the provisions of M.S. �488.08 which provide
that a special municipal �udge may practice in the municipal court o£ which
he is an officer� provided he does not ait in the trial of any cause or
proceeding in rrhich he is personally concerned. In spite o£ this provision
it was reasoned that since a special municipal judge has a duty to act in the
absence or disability of the municipal �udge (M.S. #�188.06a subd. 1)� a
potential conflict e�sibts betxeen the two of£ices and therefore they are incom-
patible.
f ��J
/4%6b
The duties of municipal �udges are set by statute, not by 1oca1 governing
bodies, and pursuant thereto service of an associate municipal �udge is not
conditioned on the absence or disability of another �udge. A person occupying
this office would normally be expected to and should be capable of presiding
over all matters that may properly come before the court. It seems inconsistent
to permit one to hold that office and then be forced to restrict his duties
and responsibilities in order to avoid conflict with another office held by
the same person. .
The Fridley Charter does not prescribe the duties of the-city attorney.
It merely designates that office as one to be filled by the council. Presumably
the council is also to prescriUe the duties and in so doing it could conceivably
fashion that office so as to avoid apparent conflicts with the office of associate
municipal �udge Such an attempt was made here. But to effectively eliminate
the contrariety that exists between these two offices, the duties of the other
office must also be limited. The council, however, has no authority in that
regard and, in the absence oi statutory change, a potential conflict wi11 always
exist.
t�ccordingly, I am of the opinion that the offices of associate municipal
�udge and city attorney are incompatible.
Very truly yours,
ROBERT W. MATTSON

Councilman Wright expressed hxs appreciation to Councilman Samuelson for dis-
charging his duties while this process wasgoing on, and stated he was glad that
it had been cleared up. Councilman Samuelson tl�anked Councilman Wright and asked '
the City Attorney about a statement in the opinion regarding a possible statutory
change recommendation as to clarify, by Council action, the City Attorney's
responsibility, and asked if he thought this should be done at this time. City
Attorney Herrick stated that it would not be his recommendation that there is a
need for the Council to initiate any change.
PROPOSED CR-2 ORDINANCP� (TABLED 3/21/66):
Councilman Harris asked the City Attorney if he had talked to Mr. Wargo in regards
to the side yard requirements, as he understood he had some comments on this.
The City Attorney said that he had no comments on the ordinance itself, but they
did discuss the protective covenants that the owners of the property were pre�
paring for the people they might sell lots to. It was Mr. Wargo's opinion
that Lhere are certain restrictions that can better be placed in the ordinance
than in the protective covenants, in that if they are in the ordinance, and there
is an unusual sicuation in which the Council wishes to waive a requirement, it
can-do so, but if details are in the restrictive covenants, then to waive them
written approval must be obtained from the land owners in the platted area and
any institution that might have a mortgage on the property.
Mr Herrick stated that this proposed ordinance has been reviewed by the
Planning Commission, and they suggested 3 or 4 changes which he has incorporated
in the ordinance, except for one he, had some question about and will present
to the Council for their decision relative to parking requirements. The �
Planniag Commission recommended elimiaating No. 2(parking requirement for office)
and suggested it be made the same as No. L fparking requirements for manufacturing
establishments). Mr Hodne recommended one parking space for every 200 square
feet, and the Planning Commission felt that this was excessive. Mr. Herrick
stated he felt there should be more parking space for square feet of office space
than for manufacturing so at present the mrdinance is writtea in this way
Coancxlman Samuelson stated he thought this was good and was in favor of it
Mayor ILirkham explained, for the benefit of the public, that this ordinance is
a sub-classification of the commercial zoning, to make it somewhat more
restricted in some areas. Councilman Samuelson said that it provided a zoning
between manufacturing and commercial.

Councilman Samuelson asked Mr. John Meyers if it would not be acceptable to the
Board, as long as this is light manufacturing, to have an engineer prepare the
plans and specifications. He stated that the ordinance has a provision that
it must be done by an architect Mr, Meyers stated that there might be a proUlem
on this, and he said they could �ust refer to the Minnesota Statutes in each
instance. There was a discussxon as to the wording of the ordinance so that
the proper qualified people will be required in the ordinance according to State
Statutes It was decided the proper amendments could be incorporated in the
ordinance for the second reading.
� Motion by Councilman Harris to waive the reading of the ordinance and -�dopt the
Ordinance upon first reading amending Chapter 45 of the Code of the City of
Fridley 6y providing for a new zoning district (CR-2 - Office, Service and
Limited Susiness Distxict) and providing regulations, controls and standards
therefor. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, there being no
nays, the motion carried unanimously.
COMMERCE PARK REZONING (TABLED 3/7/66 AND 3/21/66);
The Cxty Attorney asked how far they had proceeded on the rezoning of Commerce
Park. He asked if there had been a request that the zoning be changed to CR-2
The Crty Manager answered ihat public hearings had been held on C2 and M-1
districts and as the Planning Commission felt this was more restrictn,e, it
probably would be accept�bLe, Councilman Wright said that as long as they have
held public hearings on two zonings that bracket this zone, it would include
this 2one, and he asked the City Attorney iI this made sense Legally and the
Cit; Attorney stated that it seemed to. The City �anager made the comment
that they are trying to design this zone Ior the City as a whole, and at this
time they also are considering Commerce Park in particular.
Councilman Samuelson stated that the Council has to define the limits of the
M-1 and CR-2 zoning in Commerce Park. The City Manager said that the
Planning Gommission meets once more before the Gouncil's April 1Sth meetio�,
and he would arrange for Mr. Hodne to meet with them and make a map of the
proposed zoning areas in Commerce Park for the Council to consider Council-
� man Ldright suggested that at the next regular meeting the Council can have
the second reading of the CR-2 Ordinance, and the first reading of the
rezoning ordinance for these affected lots

estimated amount in the preLiminary report included legal and fiscal fees, and
the City Engineer answered that it was the construction cost only. Councilman
Samuelson asked about the City's experience with Dunkley Surfacing Company
in the past and the City Engineer stated that the previous engineer did have
some problems with them, but it had been on restrictions in the specific�tion
which had been extremeiry hard to meet, and since that time the City has been
satisfied with the work that they have done in Melody Manor third and fourth
Addition and in Holiday Hills IIe stated that he felt this was a very good

dential zone, Mrs. Lund asked what she shauld do with the dogs as she
� has 11 of them worth about $2,000, The Counca.l isnew of no limitatioans
as to the numher of dogs if there were no complai-ats. ,The City
Attorney stated that each dog will have to have a license, and that

number as to,become a nuisance. Mrs. Lund explained that skxe had
bought this property December 21st witk� the understanding that she
would be able to get a license for a kennel. she si�.ted she was
told this by the real estate company, attd someone had quoted her a

action with them in court. Mrs. Lund said she had nothing in writing.

I.ICENSES -
�
The Ci.ty Manager said he thought he should bring to the attention
of the Council the fact that there-is a pending charge against the
Frontier Club for serving beer to a minor, but that there hds been
no convictiono He stated that on Red's Club, there was a conviction,�
but Red's Club is not on the list tonight.
The City Attorney statad that, in general, the granting of this type
oi license is at the discretion of the Council, and r�o license
holder has t.�ha �ight to insist on one,. If it is detri.mental� in
the Council's opinian,. they can refuse to grant the license under
Minne-sota Statute 340, or a violation of the Fridley City Code is
sufficient. Sn some cases the Counail may have to refuse a license
because they are prnh9bited from grantinq them in some cases,
The Caty Attorney stated that the Frontier Club had a conviction two
or �hree years ago for selling to a minor, but he thinks there was a
change in management after the conviction. There has l�een no conviction
in the last year although there have been some complaints, especially
pertaining to late closing which could be cause for warning or
revocation. The City Manage� pointed nut �hat i� there w�re suf£icient
£actors, the best time to make the decision is when the license is up
far renewing rather than to revoke it later.
Councilman Wright stated that the owner had been � ged to use the
Police Department iP necessary so a da.fference should be noted in '
ca11s to the Police Department and the complaints £som outside, and
he said that a£ the Council were to weigh the number of calls the
avner would stop calling the Police when he should. Coixncilman
Wright suggested the owner be advised of Minnesota St�atues 340
which would ga.ve the Council no choice if there were a conviction.
Councilman Harris asked if all the heating contractor's licenses come
up at the same time, and the City Manager answered not necessarily.
Couhcilman Samuelson asked if any subsidiary company of the B&M
Corporation was on the list. The City Manager said that B&M was not.

ORDINANCE DEFINING MISDEMEANOAS - CHAPTERS 96, 97, 98, 99:
The City Attorney explained that this is a r�Yher lengthy codification, by
reference, to the new Minnesota Criminal Code which will update the misdemeanor
section of the Fridley Code by adopting by refereace those portions of the new
Griminal Gode that �efer to misdemeanors, and in addition, by reference, some
miscellaneous offenses included in other Chapters of the Minnesota Statutes
He stated that this wi11 make it much easier to prosecute certain actions that
are looked upo❑ as misdemeanors, but wexe not adequately defined prevLOUS1y.
He stated that he had checked the criminal code, and a11 necessary misdemeanors
� aze included.
Councilman Wright noted that in 1ist7.ng the different sections, some were
listed in detail and some were not. The City ALtarney stated that there was
no particular reason for not spelling them out in detail and Councilman
Wright asked him 1f he �_ould make a separate listing for those not detailed

primarily to bring into reference wiCh the new code, and the City Attorney
answered that it will bring it into conformity and expand it
MOTION by Councilman Harris to waive the reading of the ordinance and adopt
upon first reading. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan, Upon a voice vote, there
being no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
VISITORS:
Mr. Bob Guzy, Columbia Heights, was present representiag Ardis McCarCy in
a request for a BuiLding Permit to build a home on land she is purchasing by
Contract for Deed on the south one half of 1ot 4 and a11 of Lot 5, Block 14,
Hamilton`s addition to Mechanicsville, which is ad�acent to the triplex
constxucted by B& M, Inc. Mr. Guzy stated Lhat the previous City Attorney,
Mr Smith, felt the Council could properly deny L-he permit because Mrs. McCarty
had been employed by B& M, Inc. Mr. Guzy said she had been employed in the
bookkeepzng end of the business, not the building end, and he could see no
reason for this guilt by associatioa. He said that the last he had heard B& M
� were no longer in business, and Mr Bird was selling real estate He sald
Mrs. McCarty has a piece of property with a 60' front, sitting vacant and
serving no purpose and she wouLd Like to build a single family residence
He showed the Council a sketch of the propo�ed res�dence,
Councilman Samuelson asked what the triplex planned to use for parking, and
Mr, Guzy answered thaC there was space behind the triplex. Councilman
Samuelson asked if the triplex meets the square footage required, Mr Guzy
answered that it does not. Councilman Harris asked ii any corporation
members of B&M, Inc have an interest, Mr Guzy answered definitely not,
that there have been Chree transfers at Least
Councilman Sheridan pointed out that the City has never recognized a 1ot split
as none was ever requested, and as far as the City is coacerned lot 4 is
sti11 connected to the trlplex. Councilman Wright explained that the Council
had checked into this to see if it could happen, and it can, but when it comes
to developing it, it cannot Ue developed. He stated he thought her course of
action should be between the owner of the triplex or B& M, Inc. Mr. Guzy
said that the owner of the tziplex had never bought this land when he bought
the tr�plex.
The City Attarney stated that if there is a fraudulent permit, and sale of
the property contrary to ordinance, which requires a Lot split, Lt seems the
Council will have to decide which is in the besC interests of the City,
� aaother building or have the land remain vacant and Mrs. McCarty seek her
remedy against the people who sold her the land. Councilman Wright stated
that she is asking the City to acknowledge a Lot split wh2ch would not have
bee❑ given in the first place.
hlayor Kirkham asked who built the garage that is on the property now, Mr. Guzy
said that Lt was the person Mrs. McCarty brought the propexty from, Mayor
Rirkham asked if there was a building permit, The City Manager said there
was a building permit. The City Manager said there was a building permit
issued April 21, 1961. Mayor Kirkham staCed that then the City has already
issued one building permit oa this land.
���
4/4/66
There was a discussion of whether the Council would permit the house to be
built on the 40' 1ot, aed if it could be located so that it would not use
that part that has no lot split. Councilman Sheridan asked if lot 5 was
sufficient for Mrs. McCarty to obtain a mortgage, and Mr. Guzy answered
that she said it would be. Mayor Kirkham stated that the Council has the
right to waive requirements and they do not accomplish anything by not
letting her build as it �ust wi11 be an empty piece of property. Mr. Guzy
stated that she pays taxes on this 10' of 1and.
Councilman Wright asked Mr. Guzy if he had advised the owner of the triplex
he needed a 1ot split. Mr. Guzy answered that he had not checked this out '
as the deed was recorded. The City Attorney stated that, as this has changed
hands Uefore, he thought that this was a reasonable assurnption on his part.
Mr. Guzy stated that they would like a permit to build wrth side setbacks on
part of lot 4 and 1ot 5, or at least be permitted to build on lot 5 and let
the rest of the land go tax delinquent, Councilmaa Sheridan stated that it
would not be wise for the City to permit a building on a 40' lot as this
would immediately set a precedent and there are a number of 40' lots in the
City Councilman Wxight stated that they are lots that the Council has
already denied building permits for because they are 40' lots.
There was a discussion of the sequence of events when Mr. McClish bought
the land from b& M, Inc., and at which point the violations occurred. The
City Attorney stated that she might have a cause for action, as it seems
contrary to ordinance and would be a misdemeanor. The C�ty Attorney suggested
that Mr. Guzy try to trace the history of the transfer of lots, and find who
was in violation and when.
MOTION by Councilman Harris that the City Attorney and Attorney for Mrs.
MeCarty dzscuss thas and that the City Attorney report back to the Council
Seconded Uy Councilman Samuelson. IIpon a voice vote, there being tto nays,
Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR SANITARY STORAGE OF REFUSE, CHAPTER 38:
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to waive the reading and adopt upon first '
reading the ordinance providing for sanztary storage of refuse. Seconded by
Councilman Samuelson Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham
declared the motion carried.
Councilman Harris questioned the requzrement of placing the containers at
the rear of the property He said that in some cases the trash men wi11
not pick up at the rear The City Manager stated that it could be put in
the ordinaace to cnake it an obligation to pick up, The Council discussed
partitioning off the garbage on the szde of the house, or screening it.
Councilma❑ Wright suggested that the containers be kept as far away from
the street as the front of the house and invisible from the street. It was
mentioned that the ordinance states that containers shall not exceed 30 gallons
in szze, and this would rule out the larger dump 6oxes that apartments have.
The City Attorney stated he would discuss this with the Health Inspector
end incorporate the changes for the second reading.
ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 49 - ELECTRICAL OUTLETS:
MOTION by Councilman Harris to waive the reading and adopt the ordinance
amending Chapter 49 on first reading. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan.
Councilman Harris noticed there were tto requirements about cords. Councilman
Sheridan asked what number of outlets would be required. The Fite Preveation
Chief, Mr. Aldrich, said that originally he had one for each unit not �
provided with a garage in the ordinance, but the City Attorney had left it
out. The City Attorney stated that it probably would be an imposition on
the present apartment house owners. He thought it would be better instead to
make extension cords unlawful except from exterior outlets. Councilman
Sheridaa asked if it is necessary to have one outlet for each unit, could not an
outlet be sufficient far two appliances. Mr. Aldrich said it could be if they
run the proper size service, The City Attorney said he believed there was a
regulation on how many amps can be carried, and suggested inserting the
wording, "adequate number so as not to overload the rated capacity of the
apartment building", Councilman Wright suggested getting this ander code
���
4/4/66
so the builder of new apartments knows about it Sheridan asked what the
parking space ratio was, and the City Manager answered 1z to 1 Councilman
Harris said one outlet for three units would be adequate then Mr. Aldrich
said it would be if 30 amp service is specified. The City Attorney and the
Fire Prevention Chief will go over this further and have it ready for the
second reading Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham
declared the motion carried.
ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 45 - ZONING DISTRICTS:
� MOTION by Councilman Hairis to waive the reading and adopt the ordinance upon
first reading. Seconded by Councilman Wright. Upon a voice vote, there being
_ no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried. Councilman Samuelson
stated that after the reading of the new zoning ordinance with the Planning
Commission, he would like to see some of the provisions added to the other
zoning districts we already do lzave, such as landscaping, setbacks aad so forth
Councilman Harris said that maybe the Council would need a different ordinance
for that, as this just established the districts. Councilman Sheridan pointed
out that some of the districts were mi�sing irom the list. Councilman Harris
suggested that the complete list be included for the second reading
ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 56.02 (2) - SIGNS:

DANGEROUS BUILDING AT 6591 MA.IN STR�ET NORTHEAST•
Councilman Wright stated that Councilman Harris had called his attention to
a house at 6591 Main Street Northeast Upon investigation it appeared
that the owner had stripped the house of everything valuable, and then
proceeded to strip it of everything,combustible, then left it accessible
to vandalism and kids, and left 10 gallons of fuel oil in case anyone
wanted to burn it down. He stated he would like to proceed as soon as
1ega11y possibLe to demolish the building. Councilman Harris said that
the doors have been locked now, but they had been wide open when they
inspected it. The City Attorney stated that there is an emergency ordinance �
50.07 which deals with cases where it reasonably appears there is immediate
danger to the life or safety of any person, unless, as defined, it is
immediately repaired, vacated, or demolished. The building inspector shall
report such facts to the Council and the Council shall cause immediate repair,
vacation or demolition of such dangerous building. Councilman Harris stated
that he wi11 attest to the immediate danger, as the windows are broken,
kids have been crawling in the windows, there is a hole in the living room
floor, there is no door on the stairway which goes almost straight down,
another hole upstairs. The City Attorney stated that he would suggest a
finding by the Council that this is a dangerous building and that it requires
immediate repair, vacation or demolition, and then authorize the City Manager,
City Attorney and Inspection Department to proceed as rapidly as possible.
Councilman Sheridan suggested the Mayor appoint a committee. Councilman
Harris volunteered to attest to the dangerous state.
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan ior immediate demolition upon the recommendation
from the committee. Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon a voice vote,
there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
61ST STR�ET CROSSING:
Councilman Sheridan stated that he had talked to the owner of the shopping
center two or three times this week, and had told him that the Council
undoubtedly would not make a decision on the 61st crossing tonight, but
would by Apri1 18. The owner's concern is whetheror not he wi11 have to 1
build a blacktop road to his shopping center. He feels that if a crossing is
not provided at the end of West Moore Lake ➢rive, he does not see a need for
a street east to old Central Avenue. There was a discussion on surfacing
between Baker and Carol Drive, west of Baker to T.H. ��65, and whether or
not sidewalks would be included Councilman Wright stated that the Council
has not had enough time to consider this fully, and he asked the City
Engineer if it would hurt the bids to wait another meeting. The City Engineer
answered that they will wait until the Council gives them orders to go ahead.
It was decided to put this item on the agenda for the 18th of April.
BUILDING INSP�CTOR:
Mayor Kirkham stated that he understands the City has lost their assistant
Building Inspector, and the current Building Inspector has made a suggestion
that would save some money, if the Council were to concur. He stated that
the Building Inspector would be willing to take on the additional responsi-
bility for the City for additional money. Mayor Kirkham suggested that they
might try this far the remainder of the year and see if he can do it while
the Council is looking for-someone el-se anyway. The City Manager stated
he would like to look into this first. Councilman Wright asked if this request
originated through the City Manager or directly from the Inspector to the
Mayor. Mayor Kirkham stated that Mr. Jensen had talked to him about it.
Councilman Wright stated that he thought this was an improper way to initiate
this proposal even though it may be a good idea and the Council may want to �
do it. Mayor Kirkham stated he did not believe the Building Inspector
meant to go over anybody's head, that the Mayor had proceeded on the
sub�ect when he was told the Building Indpsector was losing his assistant,
and had asked him what he wanted to do. Councilmaa Wright stated that the
Council wouLd appreciate having this type of thing come through the Manager's
office.
PAINT UP, CLEAN UP WEEK•
Mayor Kirkham stated that the Jaycees are very anxious to cooperate and assist
in this pro�ect, and although they do not have vehicles, they have manpower.

Mayor Kirkham said he would like to pursue this a 1ittle farther and solicit
the help of all the service organizations, and as far as vehicles are concerned,
perhaps the local businessmen could donate them. Councilman Samuelson stated
that perhaps the newspapers could be of some assistance Mr. Terry Nagle,
Fridley Record, said he had written an editorial saying that he Pe1t the City
should do ie. Mayor KZrkham stated th�t this is what he asked in the First
place, but he found that the City does not haue the equipment in sufficieet
aumber. The City Manager stated that this could be a tremendous City pro�ect,
and explained that he had seen these pro�ects done with parades 1ed by High
School students carrying rakes and brooms He pointed outi again that the
City does not have the manpowex os trucks to do this pro�ect in one day, it
could be accomplished in a longer period oi time, but the Crty would need
a lot of equipment and manpower to do it on one Satuxday. Councilman
Samuelson wondered if the sanitation companies would donate their trucks
and drivers. The City Attorney suggested the unions be contacted. Councilman
Harris stated that the City could use any and a11 donated. Councilman
Sheridan sugges�ed the City could help the citizens by having the Volunteer
Fire Department available to issue burning permits on the spot, so that the
people wi11 not have Yo come into City Ha11 for the permit
