Mayor Kirkham a�rked if therG was anymne present who wished to be heard on this impr�vement, � Mr. Thomas Goodoien, 547 FairmonY, explained that a number of people had signed a getition as proponents, and had a numbex of �ustifications for doing so. He said that this street is servicing streets that do not have access to East River Road, He said there were blind splots in the road, it is dusty in dry weather, and full of chuck holes in wet weather He said the traffic is unregulated and excessive. Mr Goodoien said that there were twenty-one childxen on Rairmont from East River Road to Broad Street, and they feel this street in its presenC condition is a danger to their lives, and they deem this improvement a necessary item Mr. Goodoien said that there petition had requested the street be 40 feet instead of 32 feet, and asked if the stxeet plans would include this request. The City Engineer said the street was planned aY 32 feet, the same as the other streets in Riverview Heights. The City Manager said that some streets have been paved at 36 feet, which would be between the 40' and 32` Council- man Wright observed that this street has more right-of-way L-han the other streets xn the area, and this may have been originally planned as more of an arterial street. Mr. Goodoien said that some of the people to the south will use the street, and suggested the assessment cost couLd be spread over a larger area, Councilman Sheridan asked if it was his bellef it should be 36' or 40', or if it was the opinion of the residents on the street. Mr Goodoien said that it was a collective opinion. Councilman Sheridan explained that it was the Couacil's policy to assess all pro�ects to the abutting benefiting p'roperty, and this policy only varies when an above standard street is involved, In t.:at case, only the portion at the City standard is assessed, � and anything above the set standard is paid by State Aid He asked if Mr. Goodoien wanted the street to be 36` or 40', be assessed for 30' and the additional width be assessed over a larger area� Mr Goodoien said that thZS was correct. Councilman Sheridan said that this would change the policy the Council had worked under for a long time. The City Manager pointed oue that to qualify for State Aid, the City has to connect two ma,7or county or state highways, and Mr. Goodoien was requesting something the Council has never done on other than State Aid Streets, Councilman Sheridan pointed ouL- that the assessment rate on each lot was $8.08, and to go to a 36 foot sCreet wouLd only increase it to about $8.90, as there is no more curb required, which is a big cost item. �� 9/6/66 Councilman Wright asked the City Engineer what the status of the other streets in the area was that would commit the Council to a certain street width. The City Engineer answered that all curbin is in, and they hope to finish in about four weeks. Mayor Kirkham asked Mr. Goodoien if he felt the people would prefer a wider street even if they have to pay the full price� One visitor said he would want it left as 32' if they have to pay for it, He said he figured they could get some money from the State or County for a wider, safer street, and if not, he was for a regular street. Mr. Willard Sohnson, 560 Fairmount, asked if anyone had checked the petition � The City Engineer said that the petition had been checked and that 54% had signed it. Mr. Johnson said that this covered East River Road to Broad Avenue, and asked if there had been a petition from Broad Avenue to the River The City Engineer said that there had been no petition. Councilman Sheridan said that it had been the recommendation of the Administration that this be included for the hearing. Mr. Johnson said that the petition had stated it would cost about $6.50 a foot, and the cost listed now is $8 a foot. He said he thought another petition should be started at $8. He said he could not see how this would help slow down traffic, and thought it would be foolish for him to sign something like this and raise his own taxes. He asked again that the petition be checked as he said about 25% of the houses were vacant. Mayor Kixkham said that there were 13 gxoperty owners on the petition between Broad Avenue and East River Road. He showed the petition to Ms. � Johnson. Councilman Wright explained that it was not the Council's �ob to solicit petitions, that they come from the property owners, and if in the �ngineer's opinion, it is better to go a little farther with a pro�ect, everyone is notified. Mrs. Dorothy Zacher, 615 Fairmont Street, said she knew of five people that did not sign the petition because they were gone, or not contacted. She said there was a spring in the hi11 which washes out the gravel into her yard when it rains, and she feels something should be done, She said that the � equipment is in the area, and it should be done now, rather than bringing it a11 back at a later time. Mayor Kirkham asked if anyone else wished to speak in opposition. There was no answer. Mayor Kirkham asked if there were people present this evening in favor, who had not signed the petition. There were about five hands raised. One was from the east of Broad Avenue, the rest were from the west of Broad Avenue. Mayor Izirkham declared the hearing closed at 8;42 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING ON ASSESSMENT ROLL - SS & SW4�73 & 7 Ttie City Manager read the Notice of Hearing. Mayor Kirkham asked if anyone wished to be heard on this pro�ect. There was no answer. Mayor Kirkham asked if any member of the Council had any questions. There were none, Mayor Kirkham declared the hearing closed at 8;45 P.M. 1967 BUDGET (TABL�D 8/1/66 AND 8/15/66)• Councilman Harris said that he felt the Budget should be passed by all mem�ers of the Council, and because Councilman Samuelson is absent, he suggested the budget be tahled until the next regular meeting. Councilman Wright said that � the Council should bear in mind that a resolution must be prepared this month, and not �ust this copy of the Budget approved, and asked if this action could include preparing a resolution adopting the budget Councilman Harris agreed with this. The City Manager pointed out that the hearing on the Mi11 Levy is September 12th, and the practice is to have the Appropriation Ordinance and Resolution certifying the levy to the County prepared at that time. Council- man Wright said that if it could be ready for the 12th, the Couacil could avoid an extra meeting, and the ordinance must be passed twice anyway. MOTION by Councilman Harris to table the budget until the meeting of September 12, 1966 and that an appropriation ordinance be prepared covering the adoption of the budget.

He said he was over at the pit on Thuxsday or Rriday evening, and there was still equipment there, but they were not hauling. The City Manager said this was because they had been stopped several times by the Police Department. Councilman Sheridan said that Chies has not fulfilled the wishes of the Council. MOTION by Councilman Sheiidan to direct the Admin7.stration to proceed with exercising the bond the City holds. Councilman Harris said that what the Council had asked was not that difficult, and there seemed to be a great lack of concern on Mr. Chies' part.

Mayor ILirkham said that committees are open, there is no limit to the number on the committees, and additional people can be named to the committees at a later date if they are interested. Councilman Wright said that, although City employees are uusually not considered for matters which go beyond the City, he felt Mr. Brunsell, the Finance Director would be an asset to the Government Finance Committee, and Mr. Wagner, the City Manager, would be an asset to the Municipal Administration Committee, but he realizes they are overworked already, and should be consulted on this. Mayor Kirkham suggested this could be on the agenda for another week, so more rnames � could be turned in, and that any time in the future volunteers can be turned in. Gouncilman Wright,said that Mr. Brunsell had informed him that he would serve on the Government Finance Committee.

Councilman Harris said that the Council has had a meeting with the Planning Commission concerning reorganizing the Planning Commission, and if the pro- posed plan goes through, the committees wi11 be combined. Councilman Harris said he feels that experienced personnel shouldbe used for the new committee, so the appointments to the Streets & Utilities Subcommittee, and Board of Appeals � should be tabled rather than f ill interim positions. Councilman Wright asked if this would make it difficult for the Board of Appeals to get a quorum. The City Manager said that it should not, as their attendance is very good.

He said he was present in reply to the Council's letter of suspension from doing business in the City oF Eridley. He said he had discussed this with the City Attorney, and had asked him what he was in violation of, and Mr. Herrick had not been able to give (iim any details, He said he hoped the Council could fill him in on the details of the alleged violations of the drivers he has hired. He asked if the minutes of the Coumc_1 meeting attended by Harris, Sheridan and Samuelson could be read. The City Manager said that he had sent a copy of the Council's motion to Mr. Chase, He said that the Police report on the drivers showed that two drivers had suspended drivers licenses, one had a revoked license, and there were quite a few violations in each of theyears listed. He said the office girl, in error, had gotten this license on the list wrthout the check up being completed, and the license had been suspended until the owner could show cause why it should not be revoked. Mr, Chase read the Council a letter he had rece?ved from the agent for the Arrow Insurance Company, dated September 1, 1966, covering an additional premium which took into consideration the surcharge required by the police record of one of the drivers. Mr. Chase said the arrow Insurance Company also enclosed a letter furnished by Mr. Larry Grant, Manager, Commercial Casualty Department � of the Auto Insurance Company which advised that proper consideration had been given to the issuance of the policy, based on their investigation oF the parties involved. Mr. Chase read a letter from the Auto Insurance Company dated August 31, 1966 covering the licensing of three cars after thoxough investigation of a11 parties, Mr. Chase said that these men have valid Chauffeur's licenses, which is the State's interest. He said that the Chauffeur�s Division feels that, unt11 such time as these licenses may be revoked by them, they feel they should Ue able to be gainfully employed. He said they have no chargeable accidents, a few speeding vio- lations, signs, signals, and a few semaphores. Councilman Wright asked if these were committed while driving cab, and were they charged against their Chauffeur's license or driver's license? Mr. Chase said they were committed while driving cab, and were charged against both licenses, and in �ome cases the driver's license is removed. Councilman Wright asked if the Court's pxactice is to remove a man's driving privilege, but not his livelihood privilege unless it is a very severe charge? Mr. Chase said that this was correct, Mr. Chase intxoduced the Attoxney for the City's CaU Driver's Union. He said that he represents approximately 800 drivers Irom the City of Mim�polis and Suburbs, The Attorney said that Mr. Chase has worked hard to keep these drivers employed. He said that he normally only deals with the City Council of Minneapolis, but this suspension had distressed him, as Mr. Chase had applied in Fridley in good faith, and then at a Special Council Meeting, � which was unpublished and no one was aware of what was happening, the license was suspended. He asked the Council t'he grounds. He asked where in the ordinance thexe are any qualifications for drivers set forth. fIe said that if it was control the Council wanted, they should look into the practice of one taxi company in Fxidley which leases out its license. He said that a taxi driver drives approximately 9 hours a day, 5z days a week, and from 150 to 200 miles per day which is a 1ot of exposure to possible violations, He said that these are safe drivers, professional drivers, and they do not have the accident prone statistics normal drivers have. Councilman Wright asked Mr. Chase if his taxi h�siness was in Pridley, or outside of Fridley. Mr. Chase said that it was outside of Fridley at paresent, but that he had made arrangements with Motorola for the FCC licensing, three mobile units, base station, tower, and home dispatching unrt. He said they �� 9/6/66 have quoted him approximately November lst as the completion date on the installation, at which time he would start an advertising campaign to make the people in Fridley aware of it. , Councilman Wright asked Mr. Chase if he came to Fridley for his license, because they were the only ones who would let him operate at the airport, Mr. Chase said his Lexington license also lets him operate there, and he had applied in Spring Lake Park, New Brighton and Roseville, Mayor Kirkham said it is the Council's intent to safeguard the citizens of Fridley, and if there is any question at a11, the Council wants to make sure � they investigate thoroughly. Mayor Kirkham said that in his own personal view, if they have valid licenses and are insurable, he can see no reason why they should not be able to operate. Councilman Wright said he concurred wrth the Mayor, and would even question the action of the Council at a Special Meeting when the item was not on the agenda, and he and Mayor Kirkham were absent, although this fact was noted at the meeting. MOTIDN by Councilman Wright to restore the taxi license, which was suspended on August 22, 1966, to Mr. Chase and the 14ain City Suburban Taxi Company. Seconded by Councilman Harris. Mayor Kirkham stated he would to support the action of the Council at the Special Meeting, He said he thought they acted wisely, as it might have been too late to wait until it could 6e on the agenda, and likewise he felt the action taken tonight was good.

The Council discussed the square footage of the existing sign and of the new sign. Councilman Wright said that there may be a point of precedence here. He said the gap between the two signs is very narrow, and he felt the total aggregate in sc;uaxe feet should be no 7.arKer than thN maximum siz� ox the Council will be open to a 1ot of questions on where one signs ends and another begins, He used as an example the individual letters of the "PURE" sign. He asked if the neon sign could be changed to include both "I'amily Buffet" and "King Chalet"? Mr. .Tames said that this would be too costly.

Mr. Gibbs said that a violation of the Sign Ordinance is a misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of $100 or 90 days, and this is a clear cut violation. Councilman Wright said the Sign Ordinance was a long time in the making, and with no grandfather clause, it does take awhile to get action. Councilman Harris suggested a flat fine so they would not have to go to court. Mr. Gibbs said that every man is entitled to his day in court, and that there was no troubLe processing this through the Court.

Councilman Harris told of the practice in one City where a contractor � would build a home and then ask for a variance becat�se the Council would not ask that a house be moved after it was built. Councilman Sheridan suggested the Council have him deed some of Lot 8 to this land. The Council iooked at the plat map. Couacilman Sheridan suggested Mr. Cochran could give the City an agreement that'any building done on Lot 8 would make up the difference. Councilman Wright suggested that Lot 8 could be red- tagged so that it could not be built on without coming to the Council's attention. MOTION by Councilman Wright to approve the Building Permit and Variance request of Leonard Cochran at 6116 Stinson Boulevard conditional upon �� 9/6/66 Mr. Cochran's agreement that when Lot 8 is built upon an add�.tional £ive feet wi11 be allowed to make up for this discrepancy, and that the Building Inspector will reg tag Lot 8 to call attention to it, if and when anyone applies for a Building Permit on Lot 8.

CO�u.ncilman Wright, said there were two portions he had some reservations about, but was strongly in favor of the rest. He said he would like to discuss these two parts furCher, but would not want to delay the other 6 or 7 parts. He said that he is sure Items 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 as listed on Page 52 of the Agenda are satisfactory to all members of the Planning Commission, Administration and Council, but he is not sure of the full consensus on Items 4 and 5.

Councilman Wright pointed out that if the City vacates any property, one-half of it goes to the property owners on each side, and he asked if the property owners would be willing to deed the land to Erickson. Mr. Whitcomb said that they had not contacted all the people yet. Councilman Sheridan said that the water line runs down the middle of the a11ey, and aothing can be built on it. Mr. Ga11up, 5851 - 4th Street Northeast, one of the petitioners, said that there were a 1ot of factors to be considered, but they woteld like the Council tp participate in some workable plan. Mayor Kirkham suggested they go to Erickson with their request and find out what their response is as the Council could not force anything. The Council and two petitioners discussed the possibility of letting Erickson �etroleum use the property in exchange for blacktopping and maintaining it and building a wa11. Mr. Whitcomb said that as one property owner he would be willing to do this. The Council discussed the wording of the petition and Councilman Harris suggested they initiate a new petition for their neighbors. The City � Manager suggested they could advise him when they could get al1 the abutting property owners together and they could get together with Mr. Holvenstot, the Ward Councilman and the City Manager and discuss this. Mr. Ga11up said the peopel were interested in the looks of University Avenue as fara up as the Bank, and whatever they can work out could be continued if it works.

PETITION ��33-1966 - TO EXTEND WATER AND SEWER LINES: The City Manager handed out a letter from Mr. Moen, and said that Mr. Moen would like to know what assessment policy the Council might have. 'Phe Crty Manager pointed the area out on a map and described the problems in putting in the water service. He said Mr. Moen would like permission to run a service line to the one presently in. The Petition �k33-1966 could result in an expensive assessment. He said Mr. Moen would like to know, if he gets permission to do this, would he have to pay two assessments. The Finance Director said that the water should go a11 the way through to Onondaga, and there will be trouble collecting when it does. Ae suggested that the approximate cost could be figured out and the money put in escrow. He said it was unfortunate that this whole thing did not go in when the rest of the line went in in the area. The City Engineer said that to do � this right, it sliould be connected, but moved up to the point where all three lots are serviced. The Council discussed whether any benefit could be shown to the lots on the south if it were looped now, and it was stated that the cost of a 135 foot water main would not be that expensive.
