REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING, MARCH 6, 1967 COMMUNICATIONS: (A) CITY ATTDRNEY: WATERSHED ACT � The City Attorney explained that sometime ago he had met with the Attorneys representing Municipalities in the watershed area, and the last meeting had been with the Municipalities in Anoka County. The changes in the letter foltow the generai consensus, and Mr. Johnson was sendinq them to Ramsey County who had agreed to coordinate the pro�ect. The City Manager said that he thought Item 3 required further discussion, and questioned the $20,000 in Ilem 4, The City Attorney explained that because of the size of the watershed area and the population, the $20,000 figure would not be sufficient, so this proposal would strike the $20,000 and retain the 1 mill figure. He said that presently the property can be assessed for any benefit, but it must be done in line with the drainage act, and it will be hard to administer. He said it was suggested that the Councils decide whether the amount is to be assessed or spread after the Managers decide the assessments to the municipalities based on the benefits received. Councilman Harris poinfied out that the greater portion of the creek property is owned by the City. The City Manager said the MS Chapter 429 would allow the Council to float bonds up to 80% based on a public hearing and 20% to be assessed. Counci]man Liebl said he felt that those that get the benefit should be the ones to pay for it. The City Attorney said he would suggest that the assessing be left in the hands of the Council after the Managers decide how �t is to be div+ded between the rndividual municipalities. Mayor Kirkham said that this will have to be acted on by the Legislature. Council- , man Harris said that the City Attorney could be directed to draw a resolution covering the suggested changes. The Ciey Attorney said that this will probably come to the legislature from other sources also, Mayor Kirkham suggested that copies of the proposed resolution be sent to the other interested communities so they could send similar solutions to the legislature. MOTION by Councilman Harris to receive and file the letter regarding the Watershed Act. Seconded by Councilman Liebl.

Mr. Jensen said that there was going to be a Public Meeting on March 1�, 1g67 at the City Hall, and Mr. Weiberg, Executive Secretary of the Water Resources Board was to 6e the speaker to discuss aspects of the Water- shed Act and the changes proposed Mayor ICirkham said that time was getting short and there was a need to act fast, and it might delay action too long to wait for the group's recommendation. The City Attorney said he would try to be at the meeting, or if not the Association could ask Mr. Weiberg to add , the suggestions to his bilt if they are not already in it. Counu Iman Samuelson asked if the resolution would be ready by March 14, 1967. The City Attorney said he would have it ready for Council action for the meeting of March 13� 1967. Mr. Jensen �ntroduced the President of the Rice Creek Association, Mr. Howard Grivna. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING, MARCH 6, 1967 � REQUESTED LOT SPLIT: LOT 8, AU�ITOR'S SUBDIVISION �23: RICHARD A. BENZ: An Attorney, representing Mr. Richard A. Benz, explained the requested lot split to the Council and showed them the lots o� a map. He said that originally th�e mother had owned the property and sold one piece to her son who sold it to a third party, but had reserved a sma11 strip of it because of a windbreak, and had given it back to nis mother. He said that they had received a letter that this was against the lot split ordinance and that they needed Council approval to accomplish the proper splitting of assessments and taxes.� Councilman Harris asked if there was a survey and what the deed read when it was sold to the third party. The Attorney said that there was a survey, but it had not been made after the second split, and that there are two deeds, one to the mother and one to the third party. The City Manager explained that the County will accept the deeds. The City Attorney asked if there were any problems with roads or access. The attorney said that it was all private easements. MOTION by Councilman Harris to approve the requested Lot Splii. Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried. CARL PAULSON, IMPROVEMENT IN PUBLIC TRANSPQRTATION SERVICE: Mr, Carl Paulson, a visitor to the Council Meeting, said he would like to suggest that a public meetinq be called, with the Council designating a � representative to attend as the representative of the City, to try and upgrade and improve the serv�ca we have with the Twin City Rapid Transit Company, Mayor Kirkham said that he appreciated Mr. Paulson's concern, and told him that if he would like to, he could spearhead the pro�ect. Mr. Paulson suggested that the schools should be used for such a meeting as he did not think City Hall would be large enough. Councilman Lie61 asked if he was interested in transportation as a whole, or the safeb� factor, traffic service, bus service, or the safety of the pedestrian� Mr. Paulson said that he was concerned with upgrading the bus service that we have, He said that other communitaes purchase land for use as a bus terminal, and rent space for parkrng 6y the month or year as a collection point for people to utilize the 6us service. Councilman Lie61 asked Mr. Paulson if he would like the Council to institute such a program in Fridley. Mr. Paulson said that this would �ust 6e a feeler, as it might be better if private business handled this, but if the City were to furnish land for the commuters Co come in and park, the bus company should be wil1ing to reduce the rates. Councilman Lie61 said he believed this had been brough2 up several years ago, but had been found financially unfeasible Mr. Paulson said that if more people were usrng Yhe 6us, it would be a means for a reduction of rates. Mayor Kirkham said this was a good �dea to brain- storm at the meeting, COMMUNICATIONS: � (A) SMITH: BIANCONI SETTLEMENT The City Attorney said that he had advised Mr. Smith that he felt the City should ob�ect to the proposed settlement, and if ihey sett1e at all to save the cost of an appeal, $1,750.00 to $2,000.00 would be a reasonable settlement.

The Counu 1 discussed the fact that it only meant changing a bulh once in a while and that it was a minimum of cost. MOTION by Councilman Harris to concur with Spring Lake Park and bill them for their share of the cost, Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried. (C) WARNER: STORM SEWER MOTION by Councilman Samuelson to receive the communication from Lila J. and Roy E. Warner, 736D Stinson Boulevard, and make it part of the appropriate hearing. Seconded by Councilman Harris. Councilman Liebl asked if there were ma�y people in this situation, as it was something he never thought could happen. Councilman Harris said that there had been a hearing on the storm sewer and there had not been many ob�ectors The City Manager explained that someone could have a home on a couple acres of land that would have assessments higher than the value of the home itself. Counu Iman Sheridan said that in 1959, $z50 an acre was a big price and you could get two lots out of it, now you cannot buy a lot for less than $3,000, so the property has appreciated and one of the reasons has been because of water and sewer. The City Manager pointed out that some of the people have split lots. Councilman L�ebl said that people are very conscious of their taxes and the Council has to be careful that they only do what the people can afford.
