�J `� �
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OP' SEPTEMBER 3, 19U� PAGE 2
� plained that the baundary lines shown on the map indicate the auc-
side lines and everyone inside this line is considered within this
district. When 79th is completed, the waL-er will drain to Ashton,
accamplished by grading, and there will pe no need oi storm sewers.
He explained that the railroad tracks provide a natural boundary
and east of the tracks the drainage is norL-n and south. Council-
man Sheridan further explained that anyone oucside tbis boundary
would be assessed for storm sewers under anoiher pro�7ecL. Mr,
Comstock said that the�only possible excep-cion to this would be if
the County has to improve County Ditch rr17 down s�ream from this
area, in this case, there could be a small assessment.
A visitor asked about a bird bath on Longiellow Street, and ib this
is not going to be taken care of. The City r;nga.neer assured her
that the contractor will take care of this bePore the pro,7ect is
finished.
Councilman Samuelson pointed out that the actual cost is $59,269.66
and the Engineering estimate was about $70,OU0, so it is less than
, anticipated. The City Engineer said that the �ngineeriny estimate
was based on $3.96 per 100 square feet and the actual final assess-
ment cost came out to be $3.34 per 100 square ceet.

DISCUSSION OF STpRM SEWER PROJECT ##88 ADDENDUM ;k3:
Mr. Richard Harris, a visitor to the Meeta.ng asked what was being
done about the storm sewer project just south and east of Pro�ect
#87. The Ca.ty Manager said that he had had a brzei meeting with
the City Attorney and Mr. Comstock. Mr, Comstack said that he had
been in touch with Spring t,ake Park and although they realize the
problem, have not indicated that they are willing to participate
in the cost, nor has the Highway Department,
Mr. Richard Harris saa.d that after every heavy rain they have trouble.
The culverts just wash�d out and Harris Erection almost lost a
$50,000 piece of equipment because of it, He said that the �ity has
� been going back and forth and not getting anything done. He said
that this costs the City of Fridley and his company a lot oz` money.
He said that the City �.s operating thzough private ditches and be-
fore next spring his company will have to c10 something about this
if the City does not.

REGU7,AR COUNCIL R'IEETING OF ^oEPTEMBER 3, 1968 PAGE 3
May�r Kirkham informed Mr. Harris that the City of Fridley will do
whatever the people want to pay for, but so Par Spring Lake Park
and the Highway Department have not agreed to go along with th e
cast participation and this project would be too oostly for the City
�o do alone. Mr. Comstock agreed that this project has not been
dropped, but that the City has received a letter from both Spring
Lake Park and the Ha.ghway Department saying that they do not wish
to enter into a cost sharing agreement at this time, and that it
would be too expensive for the City to do without help from the other
bodies benefitted.
The City Attarney said that he had hoped that the City Manager and
City Engineer would be successFul in reaching an agreement with the
other parties. He said that he had talked to the Deputy Attorney
General and the Attorney cor Spring Lake Park. So far the only
alternatives the City has is to assess the property owners and im-
prove the area alone, or court acta.on to force Spring Lake Park and
the Highway De�artment into participation. Mr. Richard Harris
agreed that iE another body is adding to the drain-o£t, they should
share the cost.
Councilman Liebl said that this has been a problem to the City for
the last 8 years. CornstocJ: & Davis drew up three proposals which
were discussed at the Public I3earing and the people were opposed
to this project as they felt that they could not afford it. He
agreed that the City would have to get help from Spring Lake Park
and the Highway Department. This item was again discussed under
the heading: Resolution No. 120-1968 - Project SS #$$ Addendum y�2.

MUTION by Councilman Liebl to request the Chair take a ro11 ca11
poll of L-he Council to see if anyone had seen the report prior to
,Tanuary 2, 1968. Secanded by Councilman Sheridan. �Phe roll call
po11 revealed Sheridan, Liebl, Harris, Samuelson saying no, Kirkham
saying that he could not answer, as he did not remember the date.
Councilman Liebl said that he would like to ask the Council to
consider this statement:
"Mr. Mayor -
Because oP recent cievelopments, I believe the posa.tion of
the Council should be clara.fied concerna.ng the bill from Hoxwath
and Honaath.
I ca1,1 the atL-ention of the Council to the date of the
Horwath report - January 2, 1968.
l. Mr. Mayor - to the best of your knowledge, was this
repart made available to this Council prior to that date ---
Mr. Mayor - I ask that you poll the Council and ascertain
whether any member of this Council has any knowledge that this
report was completed and available ta the Council prior to
January 2, 1968.
2. r would like to inquire o� any representative of the firm
o� Laventhol, Krekstein, Horwath & Horwath, if present here
tonight, was this report completed prior to the date given on
the report itself - January 2, 1968. - If so, on what date was
tliis report completed and delivered, and to whom.
Mr. Ankrum, was this report delivered to your office prior to
,7anuary 2, 1968.
Now - Mr. Mayor, 2 ask the Council to consider the actions
oi Mr. Anthony Piku1, a partner in this firm, who in response
ta a proper request from this Council, askiny that he appear in
�erson for a consultation with this Council concerning the con-
�en� oi the report for which he is seeking payment - has
apparently decic7ed to discuss this matter in the newspapers -
instead oi consulting with this Council in a profesSional
manner. z£ the newspaper has quoted him correctly, he has be-
smirched the c�ood name o� Fridley by accusing us of default in
our contract wi�h his �irm,

REGIIL7�R C4UNCIL MEETING OF 5EPTEMBEFt 3, 19G8
(Liebl's Statement Continued)
PAGL^' 6
I refer to an article appearing in 41ze Minneapolis :;tar on
Thursday, Auyust 22, 1968.
I remind this Council - that Mayor I:ir7,ham called a Special
Meeting o£ this Council on July 24th, i967, and that at this
meeting Mayor Kirkham requested Counczl approval to engage tYiis
firm to make the so-called Feasibilil-y Study. In response co an
ohjection trom Councilman Skleridan - that i:his was a matcer t!iai
should be brought up at a regular meeciny oi the Council - Mayor
Kirkham informed the Council that tYiis scudy would take from six
to eight weeks to complete - and if we were to have a Liquor
Referendum on the November balloG we woulc7 nave to approve
this study at this time. The Mayor's recommendation was accepted
and approved to engage this firm to make L-l�e study was given by
a 4 to 1 vote.
I also call the Council's attention to the following quote
from a letter dated July 24, 1967 - adressed zo Mayor Jack o.
Kirkham and s�.gned by Anthony L. Pikul -
� 'We esta.mate thac the investigation and report will re-
quire six to eight weeks of time from August 1, 1967. As
our authority to schedule and periorm these services,
kindly sign the enclosed coniirma�ion copy of this letter
and return it to us for the complecion of our files. r12e
ori9inal wi11 serve as your copy.°
I£urther call the attention of tYxe Council to a motion bv
Councilman Harris and seconded by Councilman Samuelson and
passed unanimously by this Council on February 5, 1968 -'io
receive tkie Liquor Study trom E3orwath and Florwach, and requesL-
the Admina.stration to hold the copies oi the report in abeyance
so that no tigures contained in the reporc will be pro�ected
as factual information, until it has 7aeen reviewed bv the Cicv
Council with Horwath and Horwath." Also, at this same meeting,
a mation by Councilman Harris that Mr, Pikul be contacted anc�
requested to meet with L-he Council on Monday, February 12, 1968
at 7:00 P.M. This motion was seaonded by Councilman Samuelson and
passed by this Council.
Since the study was not completed an the six to eiyht weeks
called ior in our contract with Mr. Pikul, and 'che study is use-
' less for the purpose originally intended - and since Mr. P�.};ul
has not met with the Council as requested and as is the custom
in al2 contracts of this nature wzth any m4inicipality - it
appears to me that Mr. Pikul has defaulted on his contract with
I � /I

the City oE Fridley; thereir�r,

with the City of Fridley.

Councilman 5heridan said that by acting on this motion, the
Council woulc7 have to rescind the motion oi the previous meeting
wYrerein all tYie material is to be senL- to Che Chs.cago office.
F?e said that he would asY. that this motion be lai,d over to give
�he lirm a chance co reply to the letter as the Council re-
quested, Councilman Harris agreed wit'si Councilman Sheridan and
said that as the Council has made the request, time should be

Mayor Y.irkham pointed oui that L-he letter dated Ju1y 26, 1967 ,

said Lhat he did no� ieel that the firm had lived up to it'a con-
tract. Mayor Kirkham said that the firm gave an estimate oL-
6 ta 8 weeks, but that he did not feel that the company had

Teie City En�ineer explained L-he stipulations requested by the
oubcotrunittee and added that the Resolution concerning 3rd SL-xeet
has been �orwaraed L-o the main ofiice oS the Hi9hway Departmeni.
Mr. I:eiih Holvenscot, Lrickson Petroleum Corp. said that i£ the
vacacion was approvecl by che State, the parkiny could be moved
�rom �iie wesc to che easc as the building was designed with that
in mind. Councalman Sanzuelson asked i� 3 accesses would not be
needed and the City Ln�,ineer said that there would be 2 inlets and
1 ouclec.
Mr. Elclon Schmede}ce said thaL- the people in the area should have
�irst priority and their main concern is getting 3rd Street through,
that i1e is not in opposii,ion it7 the restaurant, but that considera-
tion oE 3rd Street must come firsi. Mayor Kir',cham told him that
this is why the parking has been changed. Councilman Samuelson
as];ed Mr. Schmede]te iP sidewaiks would be an asset to the people.
Mr. 5chmede]ce said that clxey would be.
There followed some discussion aboat the placement of the side- '
walks, and L-he possibilitlr at future develo�ment to the west. It
was a�reed thac they were �o p�.xi in sidewalks on the west side o1
L-heir propercy, and agree to put in sidewalks on the south when
che property �o the cvest develops. The City Engineer suggesred
thac chey be allowed to put in their own sidewalks. It was telt
that the sidewalks on the south and west side would help to channel
the Loo� traffic from the north down to tne signal, or the shopping
center.
Councilman Liebl asked Nir. 5chmedeke to come up to the Council
�aule and look at che �lans. Atter cominy up, Mr. Schmedeke said
that he was sa�is�ied.
Irlr. Holvensto� saicl ihat he wauld like to make the Erickson Petro-
leum Corp. interests per£ectly clear. He said that iP and when the
�ii�hway Depariment closes the service roacl and reconveys it to
�rivate ir�teresl-s, then �hey will deed this area to the west. If
�he Iiiqhway Department closes the service road and keeps it �or
adc�icional right oL way, anG E3oliday cannot get the land then they
will nol-, deed 'che 60' sL-r�.p of land. FIe said that he has tall:ed
to NIr. Burrill, vistrict Enlineer, and he has a verbal ayreement �
to L-his, and could see no reason why it would not go through.

right away.

Mr. Holvenstot said thai tlze original �lan shawed c�rass in cPie
boulevard areas and that he waxld like to requesL- that crusheG
rock be used instead. He said L-hat they planned to L-ake out some
oi the earth, and pu� d�n polyethelene to iceep the weeds trom
coming throuyh. A visitor to the Meetiny said that from his own
experience this does not work too we11, as it it is driven an,
this breaks the polyethelene and the weeus still come throuyh.
The City En�ineer added that i� we allow �his here, we woulcl have
trouble enforcing our requirements in other areas. It was then
decided by the Council thac grass should be used in the boulevard
areas.
Mr. Schmedeke said that if the Council cou1G be sure that 3rd
street is Going through, �ine, but if l-h ere is any question, now
is i:he time for consideration be£ore the building permit is issuec�.

Tlie City_Engineer explained to the audience that with a PD Di�trict,
actually there are two ste�s involved. One is the rezvning with
�ublic FIearings before L-he Planning Commission and the Council,
then the iinal plans also require a Public Hearing before the
Planning Commission and the Council.
Councilman Samuelson as]ced the audience ii they had seen the plans.
They replied that ihey had and a visitor to the Meeting asked iL
any o� L-he plans had been approved at i:hiu time. Mayor Kirkham
answered that the plans are not Einal at tha.s point, thereEore
they do not have approval. He said that the Counca.l has seen the
plans and have agreed with the concept, but this does not constrtute
aE�proval, as the plans were not final and there has been no Public
Hearing before tlie Council. A visito� to the Meeting said that
chey were led to believe at the Planniny Commission Meeting that
che plans were already approved and zf the developer wanted to
scart digging at this time, he could. Councilman 5heridan assured

' DISCUSSION OF STORM SEWER PROPOSALS IN RICli CR�EY. TERRACE PLAi AP.EA:
The City Engineer said that the City has received several peLitions
from this area £or the improvement of the screeis. However, che
siorm sewer is under-designed and should really be done iirst. He
said that the people ieel that they hava already paid for the storm
sewer which was put in by the developer. I3e said that soane o� che
streets could be done with only minor changes in the e�:isting
storm sewers, The Council must decide what chey want to do about
the pondin� in the Riedel property. He saia �hat ii the pondin�
was left as it is it would probably require some beauti£icatian.
Councilman Harris said that this property is now zoned R-1 and there
has been some pressure to have it zoned 'co a higner use, as this
will be very valuable property.
The City Attorney said that the Riedel heirs have requested 'cheir
attorney to bring action against the Cizy oi Pridley tor uszng
their property as a storage of storm water. He said that he hacl
told the attorney that if this was done, �he City would be �orced
to put an storm sewers and assess the �r�aerty owners. He said
� that ii the City oc Fridley sk�ould decide co use the propercy kar
ponding, they would have Lo acquire the land, �robably about 5
acres.
Councilman Harris felt that perhaps $100,000 for beautification
and acquisition oi the ponding area would be noiha.ng compared to
the posaibiliti�s 18 acres would have, z� zoned to a higher use.

mocion carried unanimously.
RESOLUTIOtd :'k120-19G8 - A REBOLUTIQN ORDERING IML'ROVEMENT AND FINAL
PLE1tYS AND SPECIFICATIOi�TS AND ESTIMP,TES OP COST THEREOP: WATER,
SANI'SARY SEVdER & S�l'OR.t$ SEG�IER y-88 (ADDENDUM ;�2) :
The City Engineer explained that the Public Hearing was held ior
this about u months ago and it was decaded 3�y the Council not to
order it in at that tirne. It is 7�rou�ht bac7; ior Council consad-
eration as ii thiy resolution is not acted upon tonight, at would
entail a new Public Hearing. He said that Lhe cammercial axea
needs the sewer and water very badly, and ii improved, wauld de-
ve].op quite rapidly. TIe said that the water and sewer would run
n�rth and south and tlze starm sewer wouid run east and west, so
ihere would be no common trenches. Councilman Shera.dan asked ii the
wacer table were to k�e locaered, would theYe be a reduction in cost.
The Czty Engineer replied that there would be no appreciable re-
dL�c�ion if L-he wor7s is done in the late Eall and winter when the
waL-er L-able is low. Iie sazd that ii the Ci�y were to know that
we vaere gaing to ciec participation 3�y Spring Lake Park and the �
Hi�hway �eparcment t%e pro�ect could wait until next spring
:�uL- so iar, the expectaLion o.� participation would be unrealistic.
P��r. Richard �?arris said �hat iP the City of Prid.Iey did not do
anything for the people in L-his area, his company would be �orced
ta do somethzng. He saac� that he did not ihinit if right that
pravate ditches are beany eased to drain oif other area's storm
waL-er, and tha� these ditches belong to Harris Erection. The
City Hctorney pointed ouL- tliat when the Publae Flearing was helcl
ior tiYis pro}ect, there vaas no support. I�'ix. Harris said that it
seerned to him that ic w�u1d be easier and cheaper to loop-bac;c
tlie wacer line irom the 12" University Avenue line rather than
jaclrin�� the 6" line unde� tl�e railroad tracl�s. He said that a
line could he run across 79�h and k�ack c'tovan the easement to
University Avenue ac "r'7�i7 where there is an easement. He said
�I�al-. he dici not t'riinic a 6" or 8" line woulcl be biy enough. The
Cicy Lncjineer said that ize thought tha� T�1r. Harris had same mis-
in�ormation. He said 'chac i�� F�ou1d be an E" Iine tnat would be
jacked under ttie railroad cracics and hoolc onto a 12" main. He
saicl chat jacking would be cheaper, than the solution Mr. Harri�
proposed. He said trxat the easement Mr. Harris proposed usin�3 is �
N.S.S.S,D,'s and �he City cioes noc have the xigh'� to use ii,
thereiore, this would eniail condernnatian proceedim�s which would
noL- be cheai�.
