Drsve - Raker Avenue to T.H. #6K (State Aid No, 302) and on Rice Creek Road -
T,N. //b5 to Old Central (State Aid No. ?02), but there had been no petition

Saliterman wnuld like a decision on whether this project will go in this vear

Qo �n th�s vear� and would be four or five years be£ore it went in� temporarv
snrfacin� would be worthwhile.
The City Kttorne,y stated that in a cnnversation he had had w�th Mr. Cochran ahout

HIRINr, OF INSURANCE CONSULTANT (TARLED l�/18/66):
Counci]man Harris asked the Ci_ty Mana�er i£ he had checked into exactly what
performance is done� by the compan�es� for the money, and why there Zs such a
lar�e difference in pr�ce. The Cit,y Manager anscrered that he had ,7ust the
�nformation included in theiF letters. He pointed out that one company char�e5
�25 an hour and the other �20 an hour. He stated that it was difficult £or these
companies t,o �ive an estimate, but they had tried to do so, based on comparab]e
cit,ies thP,y had done, to give the Counr.�l some idea, Councilman Samuelson
stated that he had been told t,hat the Anchor Compan,y �n St. Pa�l also did thls
type of bustiness� and he felt that, the dtfferent companies should be znvited
t,o a Council Meeting. Councilman Wri�ht su��ested that some of the differences
in price between the comnanies could be xhat the,y include in the price� for
instance, one c�mpany may include transportatzon char�es that the 5econd
company ma,y not have listed as inczdental. Councilman Harris said that he
concurred cn th Councilman Samuelson that the Council should interview the
companies to £ind out what work the,y do for the money.
P10TION by Councilman Harris that the Administration contact the Wm, Pest
Comrany, Bachman-Anderson, Ine.� and Anchor 7nsurance Company and invite them
to a meeting wzth the Council to fully determ�ne what pro�ram they wil] present

APP�ICATION FOk LTCENSESZRED'S CLUB:
Mr. John Terpstra was present at the Council Meeting� representing Mrs.
Huetmacker. He briefly reviewed the facts that Mr. Huetmaker had been the
£ormer license holder until revocation because of a conviction. He said he
wovld like to comment on several things the Council is probably wonderin�
about �n their decision o£ whether or not to �rant the license to Mrs,
Huetmaker. He said that the first item would be her experience. He stated
that Mrs. and Mr. Huetmaker had been in bus�ness for 20 years. 17 of those ,years
had bean in a tavern in Minneapolis with no violations� and the last two years
at Hed's C1uU. He Felt thls 20 years of Pood business was qulte an accomPl�sh-
ment.
Mr. Terpstra said he wanted t,o point out a few circumstances of the Hearin�.
The char�e had been allowin� a minor to lolter. In a municipal court hearinp,�
the ,7ury� after deliberating tha�ee hours� found £or the in£raction� but there
had been no evidence to show a minor was �erved or consumed liquor. He eacp7a�ned
that the minor had come �nto the club in the company of her fiance who was
over 21. The minor had been checked when she came in and she only planned to
sta,y to pick up another couple. Mrs. Huetmaker left at this time and when the
Police Officers came in they cound three minors. Mr. Terpstra ststed that he
did n�t think the Council would jeopardize their position by granting the
license For Mrs. Huet,maker. He sa�d that a minor can enter a 3.2 establishment
for a pnad reason� it, is �ust against the law to stay or do anything a�alnst
the law while in the establishment. Councilman Wright asked the attorne,y the
date of the infraction� and i.he att,orne,y answered it was last October 25th at
a_o:15 P.M.
Coim cilman Samuelsan asked Mr. Gibbs a6out this case. Mr. Gibbs stated that he
had tried this case in Anoka and what Mr. Terpstra had said was substantially
trtte. He said that as far as he was concerned� he was not going to retr,y the
case here, but the jury had felt it warrented convictlon. He said that Mrs.
YuPtmaker was the bartender when the minor entered, that Mr. Huetmaker was
procecuted as the lir,ense holder, but that he felt� quite frankly, that Mrs,
Huetmaker was � respons�ble as Mr. Huetmaker was� ss she remained on the
nremises almost the total time ihe couple was there.
Councalman Harris asked Mr, Gibbs if it were possible to have more than one
name of a l�cense. Mr, Gibbs answered that he did not believe so, it would be
jur,t one indsv�dual's name. Ccu ncilman Harrls asked if her name had heen on the
license also, would they both have been tried. Mr. G1bbs answered ves, but
that Councilman Harris was assuming facts not poss�ble. Mr. Gibbs said that
the l�censP holder is responsible for what �oes on in the club whether he is
present or not.
�'ouncilman Samuelson a�ked Ch�e£ MrCart,hy �f he had any comment to make on
Ped�s Clnb as the law enforc�n� a�ency for the Clt,y or if there had been an,y
ca]]s to cnmment, on. Chief McCarthy stated that, the,y have had several ca]ls�
and he helie�red the Council had a list of these. He stated that other t,han
the calls t,he Police DePartment has had� he did not want to make any comment.
on thi�, Cnnnc�lman Sheridan asked Ch9ef McCarthy abo�zt, the im�PSt9�ation on
5/16I66i'
the or9{�inal liquor application, Chief McCarthy stated that thts license
appl uatian come in like so many others and the Police Department was not
{�iven a fair opportunity to check it. He stated that the Police Department
ha� never done a thorough back�round check on any o£ the license holders in
the City because there has never been ample time. He stated that a lirense
applicataon comeG in on Monda,y mornin� for act�on at Mondap's evening Council
Meeting.
Ma,yor Kirkham asked Chief McCarthy, if there had been time for an invest,i�ation,
what hzs recommendatYOn would have been regarding an employee o£ a convicted
]_�cense� who had been workin�; at the tlme of a violation, which the emplo,yee
should not have allowed. Chief McCarthy pointed out that he does not make
recommendations to the Council on an,y application, he either initials them or
he does not in�tial them, and in this case, he probably would not initial it.
Councnlman Sheridan st,ated that he did not £eel this quest3on to the Chief of
Folice was in order. He did not fael the previous lirense holder's conv�ctlon
was a reflectaon on the new applicant, The appl�cation before the CoUncil is
for an entire]y new person, and the onl,y question should be whether the new
applirant is capable of running the establishment�the wa,y it should be run.
Mayor Kirkham said that this was true, and his point was that he is wonderin�
if this applicant. is capable as she is the one that was on duty when the minors
were allowed to loiter. Councilman Sheridan sald he would assume the present
aPpli�ant ha5 lParned a lesson from the previous conviction. Councilman
Sheridan sazd that he had checked tin the Minneapolis LicensP Bureau and as
has been indicated, the huetmakers had not had any infractions within the City
of Minneapolis, an�l he would recomm�nd �;rantin� the license.
Councilman kirir�ht said that he wished to speak in agreement wit.h Councilman
Sheradan. He stated that he had talked with Chief Deputy Inspector Carl
Pearson, who was at, the time of the Huetmaker's Minneapolis license jrd �n
command of the Minneapolis Police Department� and at that time iri rhar�e of
investigations for 11c'enses. Mr. Pearson had stated that he was personall,y
familiar zaith the establishment r�m £or 17 years b,y the Huetmakers and it had
bePn an outstandin£ one. Councilman Wright said he did not think it, xas a
case of a husband and rrife havin� identical skills, styles and personalit-ies.
When an employee buys an estahlishment which has been closed for any reason,
he is not t�kely to run it under the identical proceduxes. He said that
Mr. Fluetmaker is ill and retired. He said he felt the time lapse from the _,
t�me she �ave her permission for the man to brinP his fiance in out of the
�o7�i and wait for a ride, and the time she left was not su£ficient time to
constztute loitering� but it was the contsnuinp time after she left that
constituted loiterin�. Councilm�n U1ri�ht said he felt it was important that
the Counc�l r11r1 not remove the family livelihood on a technical violation that
did n�t lI1VO��rP, minor consumption� or any felonious activity at all, and he
urged the Gounc�l t,o consider care£ully and �rant the license as applled for.
He sald that if the Council wished to instruct the Administration and Pol��e
Department to rall an,y infraction to the Council's attention, he thou�ht, th�s
wonld be fine.
Mr, G�bbs said that if zt was the nation of any member of the �ouncil that
Mr. Huetmaker was convicted on the basis of a man havin� his fiance come znto
a cluh to r�et out of the cold, they were mistaken as the facts were far more
diffi��x]t, and serious than that. He said that the Police found three minors
zn the r,1uh s�ttinp with an adult in a booth with four heers. The adult testi-
fied in froni, of the Jury tY�at he was drinkinp all four beers. Mr. Terpstra
said t,hab Mr. �ibbs was brin�ing forth inference that he should answer. He
^a�d that there had heen do dzrect testimany of the minors drinking, Not one
policeman had testifzed that they knew the minors had heen drinking or that they
had smelled beer on their breath,
C�,�r+cil_man �her�dan drew the attention o£ the Counc�l to the su��estion of
Cotmcllman Harris at the previous meeting that the proceedings of the hvar�n�
be studied anrl this was the reason he had investi�ated the license �n
Minneapolis. Mr. f�ibbs said that no offlcial record had been kept.
There was a discussion between the Police Ch�ef and Nir. Terpstra on whether a
m�nor has to be arcompanied by a parent or �uardian Zn a 3,2 estahlishment.
City Attorne,y Herrick said he felt there was no need to po into references to
drinkin� or not drink�nP, the Council should make a dec�sion snthout trylnP
to exnand o* detract from the Court's decision.
MOTTnN hv Councilman Wr��ht that the Counc9l t�rant a l�cense for non-intoxirat�n�

r(�pfTTNiJED PURLIC HEARING: REZONING RE9.UEST (20A #bb-02) EMMY HIEDEL:
The City Mana�er read the motion of the Planning Commiss3on to recommend that
the specif�c plan for rezonin� be denied and the Public Hearing closed. The
C-�ty Manager explained that the Plannsng Comm�_ssion was not shuttin� the door
for rezoninp, but they felt that a more specialized ordZnance t,hey are workin�
nn should he �n effect first. If the Cnuncil conrurs with the Plannin�
CommisG�on, Mr. Skjervold could request another Public Hearing,
Mr. Sk7ervold, represent�n� Emmy Riedel� was prPSent at the Council Meetinp_.
He �tater� that he had su��*ested to the Planning Commission that it would be
a11 ri�ht with the R�edels to leave a strip 125' wide to act as a buffer�
and they would also be agreeahlP to arsythin� the Council wanted. He said that
at one time he had written the Csty Atto'rnev, Wyman 5mith, about the storm
sewer draina�P on t,he Riedel TronPrt,v a� he l,l'�r�np*ti�+ zt uras Zll�val, but they
agreed to hold in abeyance because of Urban Renewal possibilities at that
time, He ,tated that they would be a�reeable to give some o£ this land to the
C�t,y if this would make it possible for the City to control the develo�ent.
H� si,atPr3 that thP P]annin� Commission had he]d a meet�ng on Npril 28th at
wh�ch he had not been present, but from the minutes of the meeting he gathered
there was no one in opposition and he thought the request would be appmved�
and then it was denied. He said the pronert,y, as it is, is b,y no means a
cred�t to the City as the,y are not receivin� the taxes they would if it were
deve]oped� nor is it a credit to the people next door� but it could be a
benafit �f it were rezoned snr3 Used under the �ontrol of the Coiincil. He
said if the problem is that the City has to take the first step, and if
the on]y t,hin� is the method� the Riede]s are wLllsng $o a�ree to any
covenants or even a�ree to Rive land.
Councilman Wripht sa9d that Mr. Skjervold has piven an actual summax,y,
except for one exception. In part it is the ordinance, but also hecause
n" ner�ssarir enPineertin� for sewer drainape. The �ouncil has three choices
of the way +� take care of the draina�e prohlem� and on= of the wa,ys may
requsrP a part,zal pan�itinp� and another oi the three mi�ht take as much as
four acres of the 15 ar,res in the south. He su��ested perhaps there coul�l �,
be a narrower strip as a planting area, and a larger area in the south for
a park area with pond, Mr. Skjervold said he was sure the Riedels would
serloizslv consider this. Coilncilman Wright stated he felt that it is imporLant
t,o �et the engineerinP advice i,o the Plannin� CommissZOn and hold a meetanp to
considPr this. The �ity ManaPer asked the Cit,y Attorne,y if the City were a
nroperty owner, could restrictive protectice covenants be enforced, and the
Czty At,tnrne,y said vPS. Councilman Wripht sa�d that there would be two things
to work out wath the �"n�ineer and the Riedels, an area suitable for ponding
and protective zoninp without a new ordinance, Councilman Samuelson said
he t,hou�ht the City needs a new ordinance and the City Manager said that
the Plannin� Commission was workin� on it, and thev will dlsr�zss it on the
2C�th nf May, Councilman Wripht Gaid that the Cit,y Attorney savs he could
help speed up the process with the Plannin� Comu�ission so they could get zt
to the Counc�l zn reasonable form rapidly. He said that assumin� there was
an appropria+P ordinance� a Public Hearing crnitd be called at the earlsest
�'or ,iune Fth, or a more normal �late o£ �une 13th� and the City Attarney said
th�s woul�i hP fine. The �oupc�l discusse�i whether a Public Hearing date should
be sPt. Thp Citir Manap_er sup�ested the CounciZ give the Plannin� Commis�inn
a lit.tlP t�.�e, hP was sore t,he,y wou7�l nu=h as hard as they can. Councilman
ShAridan sup�PGted that Mr. Skjervold and the Engineer go over it with the
F.la�nsna Commission on May 26th, and at the same time the Council can be talklna
abaut t,he thrPe choices for storm sewer drainage.
MOTION by Councilman Wright to table thas rezoning request and to ask that

Mr. Hn�1nP, The Ctity Manaper stated that if the Coiancil overru]PS thP
Plannin�; Comm�ssion, they would call a Public Hear9ng.
Councilman Wright said he could understand why the Plann�ng Comtr+isrion had
tmuhle with th�G �ne� as at is a 7arge lot, but he is dispo�ed to a�ree
wlth the Plannin� Cnr�m�G�ion at t,h�s time. He mentioned that the Counci] is
always in the Posttinn of havin� the owner ask� if you do not like our plan�
what do vou want th�re, and �t seemed to hzm t,he answer was resident�al.
Mr. [d�llian RPlI � 5f�7r N,F, Jackson Street, said that Counrilman Flripht �s
rorr�ct and that everyl�e�ly prefers single family dwellin�s, HP sa9d that
Mr. Johnson had pronosed the idea that the neighbors �et together and discuss
what t,hey do want� and Mr. Kell sa�d he would tal�C to them and see if they
want to �et topether� but at this time the consensus was nothing other than
=zn�le fami]y dkrellings.
Mr. flroo]<s} representing the Standard Oil Company� and Mr. Johnson were
pre�ent at the Council Meeting. Mr. Brooks referred to the report from
Mr. Hodne and his eu�geGtiens that the land he used for multiple dwellin�s�
a serv�ce station on the south side of the propert,y or rezonin� the entire
parcel of land into R-3 if site recommendations are followed. He explaznad
that Mr, Johnson would like to meet with the residents. Ma,yor Kirkham asked
Mr. Kell if he had sPen t,he letter from Mr. Hodne, and if an,ything mentioned
were acceptablea Mr. Kell said at the present} rmthang was acceptable.
Coiincilman Sh�ridan asked about Mr. Hodne's 2nd reeommendation� and asked ii
the south Port�_on w�s not satisfactorily zoned for this. Mr. Brooks said
that with a special use perm�t� there was 200� fronta�e, but this was not
the most desirable and would leave the front quadrant zoned residential.
Councalman Sheridan asked if their request was to rezone the total area, and
Tnr. Prooks answered ,yes, and they taould pick the side exposed to traffic for
the Gervir,e station and motel.
Mayor K�rkham asked Mr. Kell to find out if the nei�hbors were a�reeable to
meet, Mr. KP11 could show them Hodne�s letter, and get some su��estions of
their own for Mr, Johnson. Mr. Kell ap,reed, and asked for a copy of the
era�t nlans also� whzch he received. Coimcilman Sheridan offered to meet
r�ith the people on t,his� and said it should be left up to Mr. Kell to see
when the nei�hUors can get together on this, The City Manager su��ested
that it be put on the June 20th a�enda, and he Fn 11 wait to hear from them.

COMM[iNi CATi ON S :
HOKEN50�1 - CTVIr, CFNTER:
Mayo: Kirkham asked the Cit,y Mana�er to read the letter £rom Mr. C. Mark
Hoken=on, in which he questioned the le�ality af movin� the Cit,y Hall to
Lncke Park. Mr. Hokenson, l�61 Rtice Creek Roulevard was present at the Coimctl
hiPetinp and sa�d he would like to hear the Cit�J Attorney�s report on the
legal�tv of �uch a move. The City Attorney had a prepared memorandum wh�ch he
handed out to the Council and read aloud to the public. It st�ted that he had
founrl no snecif7c location named in the of£1cia1 6allot, which he read, n�thinp
in th� nfficsal notice� whir.h he read, and no lorztion named an the bi�s on
bonds. H�s memorandum stated ihat Locke Park is t,orrens property, the lan�uaFe _
of the CiPP.d sa,ys the land is for the use of the City and the public for a park
and for its public purposes� and the torrens certificate further reveals the
property may be used £or "other pnblic purposes deemed necessary". His onlnien
Was t,hat Lorke Park can be used le�ally by the City, and there is nothinp to
prohibst the C�tv from buildinp, the Cit,y Hall there, The only restrict,�on
he could £inci was on the fee title� which prohibii.s selling liquor there.
Ceuncilman Wrlght asked the CZty Attorne,y if he exam�ned the bond issues for the
purchase of Locke Park. The City Attorney sa�d the bonds were not for the
specific` �urchase o£ Locke Park� but there were t,wo issues for the purchase
of Park property. Co�xnc�lman Wri�ht� asked Zf t]Ze first bond lssue was not.
executed pr�or to the closin�; of the purchase o£ Locke Park, and approximat,el_y
Ii0°r of the Purrhase pr�ce was from this bond issue, and subsequently there wa�
� second bond issue for park purposes. He sa�d that because both bonds were
for the purpose o£ purchasin� park land�, whether or not they specified I,oci<e
Park, and were used entirely for the acquisition of Locle Park� except for
incidenta] eapenses� wouldn't it be correct that an,y of the restr�ctlons
of that authorization from the votel's are carried over to the subsequent
use made of Locke Park. The Cit,y Attorney said that, based on his research,
th,_� would not be true,
Mr. I�okens�n mentaoned that Councilman WriRht and CoLmcilman Sheridan have
pr��ared a memn to the Council considering the five o�tions to bujld or ,
relo�ate, and at this tune he would like to ask the Council to reconsider
moving to Locke Park. —�
Councilman Harris said that th�s was not a discussion as to where the
]ocation of' Cit,y Hall should be, bnt he would like to cangratulate and
commend Councxlman Sher�dan and ulrl�ht for the work done �n providing this
�nformat�on. He said it was unfortunate that it was �iven to the publ�c
before the Council had a chanoe to review it completely. He had not had a
crance to firther scrutinize the fi�ures as s�ated sn the columns, he
ment�one.d he did find some errors, not of commission� but of ommission, and
before the public assumes this is a documented findinP, he felt the rest of
the Gouncil and the Attorney should have a chance to review this and nrovide
to the public a combsned pro�ram showinp, the choices and £easibilities based
on economics.
Co�xncilman Wr�pht said that he would like to specify speciiicall,y that this
anal,ys�s was not an attempt to ar�ue for any one alternative, but was the
fairest plcture they could come up with. If there are errors, it was he and
C�u�rllman Fherldan Frho made them as neither the Administration nor consultants
were znvolved in this project. He said they real�ze that no £inal dec�sinn has
been made nor w�l] a f_inal decasion be made this evenin�, but he Pelt it was
proner to release as much �nformation as possible to the public as quickly as
the Cotmcil can �et it� as lon� as the,y underst?nd the source� and that the
rost estimates are nothing more than estimates.
He sazd that when tentative aPreement was reached to move City Hall, it was
done .nt,h varying degrees of enthusiasm and various stipulations, and was not
a formal meet.in�. He stated Be a�reed to support a move that was fl scally
feast6le and responsible provided that if park land were used� it be renlaced
at once, xie stated that the analysis they have made shows one £actor of
pr�mary smnortance� that 9S the C�ty Hall should move to the Locke Park szte
or the HaFner site, it would be far less expens�ve to do so and leave the fire
and po]ice station here� remodelin� this buildinp, for them� and this is not
the understandinP he had before, If we do move the City Hall and leave the
fire and police station here, we cannot sel]_ this land, and where are thP f,an�ls
{,o rPn]ace the I.ocke Park acrea�e-- so the nri,mary, requ,rement is missin�.
He felt �t shoul�i pet a full hearin�� and the Admin�stration should hP asked
to wnrk ii over anr] Prepare a ver=�_on in�orporatzng thPSe facts an�l an,y others
Ceunc�lmPn ma�r think of� ancl make lt available t,o the nublic.

MOTION b,y Councilman Wright to receive the document from Councilman Wri�ht and
Councilman Sheridan.
Ma,yor Kirkham said that since Mr. Hokenson asked to be heard, and the Coimcil
is cons�dering his request� he wi�ll not ask for a second at this time. He
asked Mr. Hokknson if he had any further comments. Mr. Holeenson said that
he asks the Cotmcil to look over this pro�ect vexy careflxlly, as the,y are
�nt,erested in t,he cost.
Mr. Tom JohnSOn� a visitor to the Council Meetln�� said that his company�
Ar,me Metal Spinning, and others in the southern part oP Fr9dle,y were interested
in Fridley�s fire and police protection, and they wou]d like to see these
departments remain where the,y are or �o farther south, and they stron�ll feel
that the park system should be used only for parks. He said that Fridley
wanted a center� and if they move City Hall� they will be dispersing it, and
the bus�nessmen £eel they would like to see it stay at its present site.
Councl]man Sheridan said that he did not dispute the findinps of the Csty
Att�rney on t,he le�alit,y oi' the move� but he would like to call the Council's
attent�on t,o the pr�posal matiled to the resident voters wh�ch referred to
i,he C�ty Hall bond issue. I'� said on the proposal that the City Hal1 was to
L�e located a+ 6l�th and IIn�versity on land owned by the City and that additional
land was to be acquired to the rear. He stated that morally he felt the Council
is required to keep the City Ha11 at its present site or �o back to the voters
for a vntP to allow the Gouncil t� move the Gity Aal7, The City Attornev sa9d
he hed rommented onlv as to the le�al limitations, and whether there was a
moral obl��ation was not for him to sa,y.
Mayor Kirkham said he thou�ht. the Counc�l has spe�ht morP time on this thari
they should have at this time, and they should Qo on with the a�enda� and

00�7MIJNTCATION: FHRA - CIVIC CF,NTER:
Mr. Herr�er stated that althou�h Fridley�s eli�ibility for federal funds for
urban renewal has come to a final end� the Authority's ideas and plans conlrt
he n��d in an advisory capacity, and they would like to sugp,est two con-
siderations to the Council. They feel that it is �mnortant that the Cit,�r Hall
be located as conveniently as possible to as man,y citizens as possible and
that, it would seem a shame i,o move it farther to the north. The seconrl �emmP�t
is that the concept of a central city area has not been ��ven up� �ust the
wav in which it +.r�ll be £inanced� and th1G area needs a cornerstone. 7f
City Nall were to move it would take with it some of the office and bus,ness
potentaal nf this arPa. He said that unt,il tom �ht the,y did not know of
R�edel's of£er of land for a possible pond which would make the current
loration unique for a City Hall, and they hope the �ouncil takes co�nizance
o£ these factors in their decision.
Counc�lman Uarris stated that some of the comments in the communication were
or�en for discussion. He said that it may be o£ interest to the public, that
the Coimc�l is hanpy to announce, and especially himself as Chariman o£ the
Inc7ustr�al CommissZ�n which is keenly interested �n industrlal development 1n
Fr;dlev� that one of the areas which had been incluc3ed in the Urban Renewal
Pro,ect w�ll be developed hy the Frickson Brothers, Holiday Stores. The area

MOTION by Councilman Harris tn receive the comcmznication from the Fridley
Housin� and Hedevelopment Authority dated Ma,y 11� 1966, Geconded by Council-
r;an ,Samuelson, ilpon a voice vote, there being no nays� Mayor Klrkham declared
the mot��n ca�-ried.
Mr, Meyer addressed the Council and stated that he was concerned about the
der.islon to move the Cit,y Hall for a number of reascros. He stated that the
C�unc�] had not r.onsulted the Plannin� Commission, Parks and Recrentioci
Committ��, C�ty P]anner - Hodne, �ire or Poltce Departments, Chamber of
Comm�r�e or a number of other Cii,y Comittees, He ,aid that none of these,
vthether voluntar,y or paid� were officiall,y consulted. He said that, the
renort wki�r,h was presented tonight, which was not full,y examined by all I
the Council ;,��t, is the sort of thznp, that should have been done last
,Tanuary. He said that the statement has been made �hat there is no commit- -J
ment yet., hut that the architect is designino a plan fe* Locke Park, and a
goori part is alread,y expended� so there alread,y is a heav�r financial
commitment in the Locke Park scheme, He asked what the City is getting in
Lncke Park that, they could not get here 3n this C�ty Hall, as an architect
can make a building cost anywhere irom $10 a square foot to $30 depending on
the qual_it,y of consbruction. He pointed out they are cutting out the concept
�f a community room and library room.
Mayor 'f,irkham said that perhaps the Council made a mistake in tak�ng the
recommPnd�i,ion of ihe Fridle,y Hous�n� and Redevelopment Authority not to add
to t,his bui]din,a,. Mr. Herder sai.d that this is not the same as moving the
site.
Mr. Mepers sai_d he would like to sa,y one thing as a po�nt o£ lnformatzon. On
the consideratlon of the Hafher site� it is most important to realize that the
architPCt is �*oing ahead expending money in the Locke Park site, and he is
Poing to charge to re-do the plans� so Mr. Meyers recommends that the Connc�l
iG^n� a stop order on a11 pre7iminary drawinp.

LJTTLP' L�AGUE LEASE RR�U&ST:
The Clt,y Attorney stated that he had prepared a slceleton lease apreement
based on the discussion of the previous Council Meeting. If �t can be
hased on the f��+ures mentioned without correction, it indicates the Little
Lea�ue would pay 5� of the total cost of the City�s interest per vear, or
what it wou]_d cost the Cit,y in interest to purchase the property. He said
the annual rental would be $1200 or $100 a month� and he has prepared a five
year 7ease with a f;ve ,yPar option. The Little Lea�ue would pexmit, the City
Rer,reataon program to use it when it is compatihle, and the Little LeaPue
�rtll be respon,ab]e to keep it free and clear and responsible for the
maintenance. He stated that the I,ittle Leapue will not be responsible when
i,he RPCreat,lon Department is usinp, the property, U1hen the a�reement is to
be tFrminated, the Little Lea�nie as authorized to remove any removable
improvements, and the Cit,y will pay � fair cost for non-removable items.
T�e Citv ManaPer explained that ihe doZlar fi�ures have chan�es a little bit.
The �;ty had hou�ht all of $lock 16, The County carr�es the property as not
c�ty owned, with one-half of it carried as tax delinquent. He stated that
the add�t�onal cost would be �n special assessments, making about $1q,000
rather than �25�000.
Counrilman Samuelson said that the Czty should make a dec�sion on what the rltv
is willin� to do and send the representatives of the Little Lea[�ue a letter.
Councilman `�IriPht su��ested perhans the L�ttle LeaPUe would phase it, as the��
want i'ive diamonds. Crnincilman ShAridan SR7(i C,t1Rt, }1P wAS n�t, 3n a�renment t�,
charge `�1200 a year for a lease of property. He said that the Little League
is takin� a portion of the Recreation pro�ram and handlinp, it, supervised by
adults. The,y derive their funds from solicitations from citizens in the
c�mmunity� and the property would not be used by outsiders. It would be hls
recommendation to �ive them a lease on th�s property, but do not char�e on
a lease bas�s as indicated� and with $1200 they could put that many more
r,hildren on the fteld fullv 5uited. Councilman Harris asked if Councilman
Sheri_dan would a�ree with a lesser t,ype of e�cpenditure, say 2K�. Counc�lman
Sherldan said that would be more in line as this was a non-profit or�anization.
Councilman Wri�ht said that his feelings were that the Council cotLld not let
any orr*ani�,atton, no matter how noble, operate on a basis that creates a losG
'.,o the C�ty, in a sense subsidizin� them. He stated that our own Parks and
Recreation bud�*et.is very tigh't� and needs mone,y for site acquisition badly.
Counci]man Sheridan pointed out that if the land is leased to the Iattle
Lea�ue, they in a sense would he developing park land. He said the,y had a
surpins of funds toda,y-� because the,y have not had to pay for ball parks, but
the costs w�11 go up as they bring in more teams. He stated that the Council
wnuld n�t he �eopardizing the park pro�ram hy letting the Little LeaPue lease
land t,he CitV already owns. Councilman Harris su��ested they find the break
even point on the interest and assessments, as he agreed wlth Councilman
Wri�ht that it should at least be a break even proposition. The C1ty Mana�er
sa�d he would like to che�k into these fi�ures more.
MOTIDN b,y Councilman Harris to refer the leasinq of land to the Little Lea�ue

Mayoi•Kirkham said that Mr, Gibbs would be sitting in Citv Attorney Herrir.k�s
Place, as Mr. Herrick had to ]eave.
ThP CitT� Manaper read a letter he had received from the Hl�hway Department �n
which the Hirhwa,y Pepartment concurrec� with the decis�ons made at the last
Council P1eetlnp with one_exception� that a free ripht turn could not be
permitt,ed .
The Counc�l talked about a plan for the ChristPnson corner with Mr, %urpius
oF the Minnesota Hi_ghway Department and Mr. Boh Christenson. Mr. Kurpius
stated that, it boils down to the fact that the State gains very little, and
they will have a hard t�me rationalizing losing almost 9£eet of needed r�pht-
of-way. Mayor Rirkham pointed out that the,y would not be gaininp in land,
but an a more effic�ent wa,y of solvinp the problem. The Coimr,il said they
thouPht the service road^ were to be done for the bene£�t of the C�_ty of
Fridley and not, the Minnesota Hi�hwa,y Department. There was a disc�ission
of the Ftate asszpnln� their riphts to the Cit,y, and Mr. Kurpius said he
was sorry hP had no def�n�_te answer as he will have the right-of-way
department check into this. Mayor Kirkham said that it could be done on an
exchanpe basis. Mr. Hodne said he thou�ht the owner would find it much
easier to have a self rontained parking lot rlther than h�ckin� out on a
servica drive,
CounoZlman Wripht asked Mr. Kurpius if it wo�zld help him to have a summarq
nf the discussion in writin� showina it point b,y point including a 3-way land I
trade. Mr. Kurpius said that he should have a resolution or somethinp in
wr�tinp. Mr, Hodne su�pPSted that the C�nnr�l should a�ree on a concePt �
anrl let the Mlnnesota Hip,hwa,y Department fi�ure out the en�ineer�n�. It was
pointPrl out t,hat the Council had a�reed on a concept.
Counr�lman Harris said that. a letter should he �lrawn up re�arding th�s con�Ppt
a� sh�wn on thP man anrl presented tn the MinnPSOta HiphwaY Department.
Crnmrilman iry`r�aht stated that the Ctit,y Manaper should specifv the three-way

one �u�-E;ested Zt sh�nld saq t,hat the surveys are t,o be made by the State,
Co�zncilman Uiri�ht said he had some thoughts on the northwest cornar of �7th
Avenue and that A4r. Hcdne wa� at the Council Meetir� to talk about, it, also.
There was a discuss�on ahout a median going ln on the northeast corner. The
P;innesot,a Ht�hway Pepartment feels that it is absolutely necessary and Navoc
K�rkham czid that the Coupcj] was to]d �t was not in the present plan, but
rculd be put i_n later when traffic b�atld�i}� nn this corner required it. The
Crn mcil talked aboui 1Favin� the service drive on the northeast corner for

The Council discussed the possibil3ty of buying the lat uhich is to the east
of the one mentioned in the motion� if it could be purchased cneaper. The
City Manager pointed out to the Council that if they are talking about
connecting the aervice drive to 4th Stroet� they xill be af£ecting a lot oP

sign, so that traffic either had to go norEh on �th Street -- north t� 57th
and ceme out or south to 53rd ani go t� Un3versity� thep would eliminate
putting all the traf£ic threugh this seCtion oP residential property. Thia
xould keap the theatre traffic out of the residential area, and would make
� use ef %th Street xhich is a good arterial street.

MEMBERS AHSENT: Sheridan� Wright
G ON IPIPRGVEMENT m STREET IMPRAVEMENT PROJECT N0. 1966-1 (STOAM
Mayor Kirkham stated that the first thing oa the agenda was the Public
Hearing on the storm sexor portion of Project 19b6-1, He eacplained that the
Council had no desire to push a project� but that Public Hearinge are ealled
in response to petitions as it is the desire of this Council and most C9ty
Councils to honor roquests or petitions and held hearings ao that the peopls
can express their opinions. The Mayor said that a straw vote may be called
£ory but that in the end it is the Council who must decide. He saicl the
signature of the Mayor on tMa bmttem oY the Notice oi Hearing ioes not
necessarily constitute his endorsement of a project. He then called on
City �ngineer Qur�shi to explain the project.
�
The City Engineer said that therc hzve already been tcro hearings held on thia, '
and that this hearing is cglled because of a petition £or streets on Hickory
Drive and Hickory Circle. He explaineal that two meetings ago, the people
wAnted to lmow Hhat happened to their original petition for street�, but to
put in streets, thi_s area must have a storm sewer.
Mrs. Jordis Mittlestadt, 6944 Hiekory Dri�e Northeast, askeel what hearing had
been held on the street improvement, and the City Engineer anewereal that a
hearing was held on November 15, 1965« Mrs. Mittlestadt asked if thia petitlon
was still working, and if each petition did not receive a h�aring. The City
Engiraeer said that another petition had been received, because the tima period of
the £irst petition had run out� and that it is not necessaTily true that each
petition gets a hearing.
Councilman Samuelsmn explainad that some of tha people had asked for etreet�
but tk�ey could not be mrdered in until ttiere was a atorm serrer� but that people
on the loa level want streets and they must have the storm aewer first. He
explained that a petitien was received, which was approximately 50� from
Hickory Drive. Thn petition was within the s� month period, and it was
auggeste� the Council hold a storm sewer Hearing� which is this even#itg.
A visitor to the Public Hearing asked if this txcluded %Oth Way. Councilman
Samuelson pointed wt on a map the area that would be included, and e�cplained
that this whole draiMage area would drsin tv catch basina, and he showed
where these 47�lliCf bC located. He saie that thesm storm sewer facilitiea
xould be minimai according te the area dr�ined. The visitor asked if these
new catch ba.sins xould require £acilities through the properties. Council-
man Samuelson said yes� to the lake. The visitmr asked again if this rA311
include 70th Tday, Gouncilman Samuelsan satd that it would include part •f
it. The lines are set np by the grade of the terrain, and the vateT f2ews
to the lake� eatch bs.sins� or river. The visitar askei if the City xill be
putting the street in on 70th Way, and Councilman Samuelson said that it was
not requested in the petition. Mrs. Mittlestadt asked if Hickory Place was
to be done, and Couneilman Samuelson said that� yes 3t had been included in
the petition. Mrs. Mittlestadt asked that the petition be road. Mrs.
Mittlestadt said that the last time this was discusaed� the people on Hickory
Circle decided they did nmt want the petition after all, but there waa no way
to remove ths petition. She said that at that time the assessment had been
figured for each propertr, and she asked i£ these vere available now.
