REGULAR COIINCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 1� 1969
of East River Road.
OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF PLANNED DEVELOPML'NT
HOWARD DUMPHY:
#68-10)
PAGE 2
The City Engineer said that this plan was discussed by the Planning Com-
mission and their recommendations are included in the Agenda. There was a
question regarding parking on the lots abutta.ng the house in Block 10.
The Planning Commission recommended allowing the parking on these lots
provided there were proper barriers. The other question was whether the
number of units should stay at 108 as some o= the square footage is lost.
If the amount of total squax'e footage is reduced, should not the number
of units be reduced. The developer feels that the xequirement pertaining
to the number of units could be waived by the Council The development
includes garages.
Councilman Harris said that he felt that the rental of the unit should also
include the rental of the garage and that they should be rented as a
package unit to eliminate people not using them and parking in the visitors
stalls, and creating parking problems. He said that he would not be in
favor of the 9 parking places in the north and that the parking could be
allowed in another area. The City Engineer agreed that the parking could
be taken care of in another area.
� Mr James Solverson, 5025 Lyndale Avenue South explained that the court had
stipulated that there was to be no parking on these four lots, but since
then the new zoning ordinance has been adopted and they did need an additional
16 parking places. They will have to take out part of the hill to put in
the 16 parking spaaes along East River Road. The plan has been completely
redesigned, and redwood fencing has been provided along with shrubbery for
screening. The parking wi11 be depressed about 1' to 2' and the shrubbery
will be about 5' so the cars should not be visible.
�
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to table this item to the Meeting of the 15th
of December for consideration by the fu11 Council and to allow for further
review. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Harris Pro tem declared the motion carried.
CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FROM VILLAGE OF HILLTOP FOR FIRE PROTECTION:
Councilman Lie.61 asked the City Manager if the Fire Department has approved
of the City of Fridley entering into a contract wrth Hilltop for fire
protection and if the Fire Department is willing to abide by the Council's
decision. The City Manager replied yes. Councilman Harris commented that
the Crty Manager made a good point in his memorandum dated December l, 1969,
in which he points out that the cooperation with the volunteers within the
department is now good and should there Ue any type of in7ury, difficulties
could develop within the department. Councilman Sheridan felt that this
could be viewed within the realm of Mutual Aid, although they are paying
far the service.
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to instruct the Administration to enter into
a contract with the Village of Hilltop, the contract to be on an annual
basis, w�.th a 90 day cancellation clause. Seconded by Councilman Liebl
Upon a voice vote all voting aye, Mayor Harris Pro tem declared the motion
carried.

REGULAR COUNCIL D4EETING OF DECEMBER l� 1969 PAGE 3
Thc Fire Chief said that Hilltop's contract has now run out with Spring
Lake Park and they would like some action as soon as possible. A repre-
sentative from Hilltop said that he would appreciate any immediate help
that could be given. It was agreed that the price would be $3500 per year
plus $150 per run, the price to be negotiated every year, and that the
contract will be completed by the Village o£ Hilltop prior to the 15th
for action by the Council on the December 15, 1969 Meeting and Fridley will
provide fire protection in the interim,
DISCUSSION OF RESOLUTION AN➢ ORDINANCES REGARDING SNOWMOBILES
The City Attorney said that he had discussed this with the Attorney
General and the L�eague of Minnesota Municipalities and it seems to be an
open question on how much of the £ield the State has pre-empted. It seems
that reasonable regulations could be set forth by the City. One of the
suggested ordinances amends Section 88 and adopts the Minnesota Statutes
by reference, the second is amending Ordinance #78 and does not deal
strictly wrth snowmobiles, but all motorized vehicles including dune
buggies and mini bikes. This would la.mit their usage to certain designated
areas. The resolution adopts certain limrts in the use of snowmobiles
in public lands and waters in the City and also limits the use over public
streets. These suggestions came from the Parks and Recreation Commission
and the Administration.
Mayor Harris Pro tem suggested action on the Resolution and laying over the
Ordinances to the next regular Council Meeting. He reported that he had
received some calls of the opera�.ion of snowmobiles late at night. The
people that called him felt that the snowmobiles should be used with more
discretion. Councilman Liebl added that he had received some calls also.
RESOLUTION #198-1969 - RESOLUTION REGARDING THE REGULATION OF SNOW-
MOBILES
MOTION by Councilman Lieb1 to adopt Resolution #198-1969. Seconded by
Councilman Sheridan.
Councilman Sheridan asked if there was any restriction on their use on
private property. The City Attorney replied no, only on publicly owned
property. Councilman Liebl asked if the time limrt imposed in the Resolution
would apply to the use of private property and the City Attorney said only
on the City's property and City streets.
Mr. Carl Paulson asked if the use of snowmobiles at ob7ectionable hours would
not be construed as a nuisance There may be people ill or children sleeping.
The City Attorney agreed that the nuisance ordinance could cover this if the
hour was ob7ectionable. He saa.d that he would have to reserve 7udgement on
whether or not this Resolution could be enforced on private property,
although he thought that the nuisance ordinance could be used if the com-
plaint was on the operation of a snowmobile on private property.
Councilman Harris asked if there was not a change in the State laws and the
City Attorney answered that previously a driver had to be licensed� but
this is not the case now.
A member of the audience asked why the school property was included. The
City Manager said that Mayor Kirkham brought his attention to the fact that
'
�
'
� _�
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 1, 1969
PAGE 4
� the school had requested that they be included. The ordinance amending
Section 78 also applied to the schools. Councilman Harris said that he
felt that there should be some written communication with a formal request
for the inclusa.on of the schools into the ordinance.
A member of the audience said that there are some £actors overlooked,
namely the safety factor and the noise factor. It seems that people want
to take off the mufflers to make them more noisy. Snowmobiles are made to
go 60 miles per hour now and if a child or a pet were to �ump in front
of a snowmobile, they could not stop as the brakes are not that good_ They
must of necessity run next to the curbing in the snow. The City Attorney
then read the Resolution aloud for the benefit of the audience interested
in this item. Councilman Liebl commented that this Resolution does not
mean that the Council is not in favor of snowmobiles in the City, he felt
that it was a healthy sport. This Resolution merely sets down some limits
and he did not feel that there should be such strict regulations that
people were not allowed to use them. Councilman Harris asked if the State
requires the safety certificate and the City Attorney replied yes, and
that anyone under 14 is not allowed to cross a street or highway and be-
tween the ages of 14 and 18 they can cross only with a safety certificate.
This also applied to the use of public roads within the City. The State
Statutes cover the safety equipment, rules of the road and speed limits.
The speed limit is the same as for other motorized vehicles. The noise
decibels and speed are hard to enforce as a snowmobile may go through a
' field where a squad car could not follow, Councilman Sheridan asked if
the state licenses these vehicles and the City Attorney said yes, Mr.
Jerry Potts, 8066 Ruth Street asked i� the speed limit applies to the ease-
ments and along the sidewalks. The City Attorney answered that a street
would be from one right of way to the other and within that riqht o£ way it
would apply and the City would have 7urisdiction,
THE VOTE UPON THE MOTION, being a voice vote, a11 voting aye, Mayor Harris
Pro tem declared the motion carried,
The City Attorney suggested publishing the Resolution,
This item was again discussed at the end of the meeting, where it was
decided to change the time limit �rom °�No snowmobzle shall be operated prior
to sunrise or after 9 00 P.M." to "No snowmobile shall be operated prior to
sunrise or after 10�00 P,M.", to conform with Fridley's sister communities.
DISCUSSION REGARDING SEARS STORE IN SHOREWOOD SHOPPING CENT�R:
The City Engineer explained that Mr. Max Saliterman is requesting that the
brick on the south side be waived i� expansion progresses within thxee
years The Suilding Standards - Design Control Subcommittee originally
had stipulated that it was to be bricked on all four sa.des, then the Council
allowed the east side to be left as that was the probable direction o£
expansion.
� Mr. E.J. Becchetti, representing Mr. Max Salrterman, said that they would
like to add on to the east and south sides in the near future, but mort-
gaging money is hard to get. They would like to deploy the materials and
labor for the bricking to other parts of the building and save the ex-
pense of bricking up the south wall, considering the proposed expansion.
��
R�GULAR COUNCIL M�ETING OF DECEMBER l� 1969 PAGE 5
I-ie said that he felt that 8" blocks with trim would suffice as long as they '
plan on adding on. Councilman I-Iarris commented that Shorewood Shopping Center
was represented previously when it was agreed that it was to be bricked on
the three sides Mr. Becchetti explained that they plan on adding on the east
and south sides, but they do not know exactlp when. The City Engineer pointed
out that there were a number of other waivers granted when the plot plan was
adopted. Councilman Sheridan said that in taking out the building permit, the
stipulations were accepted, now another waiver is being requested. If Mr.
Saliterman were to come in with a plan for the expansion, possibly this could
be considered. Mr. Becchetti said that they wi11 be ready, maybe, with plans in
the spring, Councilman Harris pointed out that wrthout the brick, the building
permit may not have been granted. He asked when the Sears store will be occupied.
Mr. Becchetti said in about 4 Saeeks. It is �ust a matter of putting up brick
veneer and finishing the flooring and heating,
Mr. Becchetti said that the loading ramp is in the southeast corner. The City
Engineer asked how there could be expansion without elimination the service
entrance, Mr. Becchetti said that the expansion would go right up to the service
entrance. The service door faces south. Councilman Harris wondered what
would be done about the parking requirements in that case. Councilman Liebl
commented that he felt that three years is too long, and that the Council has
already granted one waiver in the brick in leaving off the east side.
Councilman Sheridan suggested that if Mr. Saliterman comes in with a p1an for
expansion by April, then the brick on the south side could be waived, except �
that portion that the expansion would not affect, and if not the stipulation
would have to stand. Councilman Harris added that if he were to come in with
a plan, he would have one year from the time the permit is given before it
would become invalid.
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to receive the letter from St. Anthony Village
Shopping Center signed by Max Saliterman dated November 17, 1969 and deny the
request £or a three year extension of time for putting up the brick on the south
wall of the Sears structure. If the plans are in before the Council by April
lst, 1970 the Council will then strike this stipulation, and if there are no
plans, he will be obligated to fulfill the original stipulations set down for
the building permit. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all
voting aye, Mayor Harris Pro tem declared the motion carried.
RECEIVI�G THE MINUTES OF Tf� PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF NOVEMBER 19, 1969:
LOT SPLIT REQU�ST: L.S. #69-24, RODNEY BILLMAN: Lot 14, Block 2,
Tnnsbruck 5th Addition. Sp1it in half for purchase by Lots 13 and 15.
The City Engineer explained the Planning Commission recommended approval of this
lot split. One half of the lot will go with the property to the west and the
other half to the property to the east. This will not make buildable lots, the
owners of Lot 13 and 15 would like to add some more land to their yards
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to approve the Lot Split L.S. #69-24 requested by '
Rodney Billman, with the understanding that the splittinq of Lot 14 does not
create two buildable sites. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye� Mayor Harris Pro tem declared the motion carried.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to receive the Minutes of the Planning Commission
Meeting of November 19, 1969. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice

portion of the building, and the basement will be used for the church functions.
The Building Standards -- Design Control approve the general concept. Under
R-1 zoning, churches are allowed.
Councilman Harris asked if this is meant to be a parsonage or will it always be
a church also. Reverend Nelson and his wife cam� forward to the Council table
with thea.r plans and answered that there are plans to build a church in the
future.
The City Engineer explained that there is already a road started and once this
concept is approved, they will have to dedicate 25' right of wap for the road.
He said that they need concept approval now, and he would work with the appli-
cants on the precise plans later. Councilman Harris commented that he would
not like to have the Council give their approval for a walk out type basement
� and then find later when the road is built that the drainage is not to the
street. The City Engineer said that he would work with them on the draa.nage
plans.
MOTION by Councilman &herLdan to approve the general concept fox the paxsonage
with group activities facilities in the basement, subject to the dedication of

The City Engineer said that this request was recommended for approval sub7ect
to some sta.pulations, found in the Agenda. Mr. James Determan was present and
passed around pictures of the building to the Council that the Building
Inspector had taken. He said that he agreed with the stipulations imposed
by the Building Board. There ase still some landscaping plans to be com-
pleted. He explained that he had �ust had the sewer, curbing and street put
in in front of his place. It will be a metal building and will be painted to
match the other buildings. The building will be used for the storage of pipe
and pipe fittings. There is now a wood floor in it which he wa.11 take out, and
pour a concrete slab. The building a.s 3 or 4 years old.
' Councilman Sheridan said that the Council is hesitant to allow moving of
buildings into the community. The City Engineer pointed out that he will have
to get a performance bond for $2500 and that there is fencing that has to be
done. Mr. Determan said that the fencing is done now. The City Engineer
explained that the Code now states that there have to be slats in the fence to
.� '�

provide screening or planting for screening. Mr Determan said tiiat he would
agree with the planting across the front but not the sides and the back.

The Crty Engineer said that he wanted to bring this item to the attention of
the Council. This garage would only be about 7i� feet from the right of way
of Osborne Road and if there were sidewalks put in� the sidewalk would be
ad7acent to the garage. The abutting property owners have agreed and the
Board felt that this was �ustz£ied because the alternative would be to enter
onto Osborne Road wkiich would create a traffic hazard. Councilman Sheridan
felt that this would not be a good visual safety factor having the garage so
close to the road.
MOTION by Counci.lman Liebl to lay this item over to the next regular Council
Meeting and ask the applicant to come before the Council to consider other
possibilities. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, all

The City Engineer sa�d that the plans fox the we11 house for Locke Park have
been supplied to the Parks and Recreation Commission. The questions here are,
how much is to be spent for adding facilities for the Parks and Recreation
Department, where should the money come from, and how much area will they
plan on using.
Councilman Harris commented that it was felt that this would be a good place
for a park facility because of the proximity of Columbia Arena. There could
be parking in their parking lot and the lighting is already there. The City
Engineer said that the addition would probably be in excess of $20,000 and
� he wished to know if the Council wishes to pursue this plan. The Council
was in agreement that the plans should be continued.

RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE HUMAN RELATIONS COMMITTEE AND CONSIDERATION OF
QUESTIONNAIRE
P4r. John ivers, Chairman of the Human Relations Committee, said that there
were some ob7ections raised as to the emphasis on "Negro° and that some of the
questions were too ambiguous to answer. He said that where "minority" would
suffice, the word "Negro" was eliminated, when the questionnaire was reviewed
by the committee. Mr, Ivers said that there have been questionnaires put out
by other communities, some successfully and some not. Some of the more
challenging ones met with disapproval. He felt that there should be a separate
mailing used, they should be pre-folded, with a 1abe1, and stapled Council-
man Sheridan suggested an outside �acket that could be used for mailing, then
� thrown away to eliminate the presence of the address on the return mailinq to
retain anonymity, Mr. Ivers was asked what they propose to do with the in£or-
mation when a.t is received, and explained that they hoped to receive some sort
of direction to improve human relations within the City. Some of the other
groups are working with the Human Relations Commrttee such as the League of
Women Voters and some church groups.
�� �
R�GULAR COUNCIL ME�TING OF DECEMBER l� 1969 PAGE 9
Councilman Harris questioned $12, and wondered if this would not raise some '
miswnceptions in the minds of the people. Mr. Ivers said that if the pre-
ponderance of the replied came back "yes" then the commrttee woulcZ feel there
should be some encouragement for the racial minorities to reside in Fridley.
Mrs. Eleanor Phillips, League of Women Voters, said that she had 7ust had an
opportunity to look at the questionnaire tonight and could endorse it, but she
felt that the questionnaire would still be subject to re-wording. She said
that the League felt that the government at all levels has a roll to play in
supplying governmental equality at all levels of society. Councilman Sheridan
said that he considered the wording of this questionnaire an improvement over
tne last one considered.
The Finance Director said that he believed that the bulk rate for a non-
profit organization is 1;C. Councilman Sheridan commented that at that rate
there should be return postage provided a1so. The Finance Director said that
this would then cost about $150.D0, Councilman Harris suggested obtaining
the money from the Counca.l fund,
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to authorize the expenditure for the Human
Relations questionnaire with the funds to be taken from the Council fund with-
in the budget, Seconded by Councilman Liebl, Upon a voice vote, a11 voting
aye, Mayor Harris Pro tem declared the motion carried.
Councilman Harris asked if the Council would receive a report of the findings
before releasing to the general public and Mr. Ivers said yes, the committee �
will work through the Council. Councilman Liebl said thank you to the Human
Relations Committee for all their work.
CONSIDERATION OF RFVISED REGISTERED LAND SURVEY ^ C71R WASH ^ NORTHWEST QUADRANT
OF MISSISSIPPI STREET AND EAST RIVER ROAD:
The City �ngineer explained that this was approved as one parcel before� now
the request is to split into three parcels.
Mr, Peter Lindberg explained that the buildings are set perpendicular to the
road and the boundard lines should be parallel with the buildings, but as
shown on the drawing they are not. He said that his surveyor did not have time
to redraw the plan. The line between Tract C and Tract D will be about 45'
from the building Tract B will be a slightly larger parcel. There followed
a lengthy discusszon at the Council table wrth the fol.Zowing agreement reached.
The Council stipulated that parking spaces near the superette would be allocated
to the car wash to ensure parking for employees, etc. That the parcel lines
be established in the center between the car wash and superette and that the
lines be realigned on the registered survey. Also, that the northwest lot
line of the superette be established in the center of a road for egress from
the area. That a traffic pattern providing for one access and one egress be
maintained as specified in the original Council approval.
MO'PION by Councilman La.eb1 to approve the registered land survey sub�ect to the
City Engineer's concurrance , the survey to be drawn correctly for submission '
to the Council at their next regular Meeting. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan.

DISCUS520N REGARDING UTILIT2�5 IN EAST RA1�CH ESTATES SECOND ADDITION, PROS�CT
#93:
The Ci�.y Engin�z explained that Pro7ect �93 is for water and sewer lines in
Onaway Addition and East Ranch Estates SeCOnd Addition, The contract has
already been let, and now there is some concern on the part of the property
owners as the development is not proceeding as fast as was expected. The
plat has not been filed yet� so if the developers want to have the utilities
put in, there wz11 be a necessity for utility easements. Mr, Peter Lindberg
said that he has not recorded the plat as yet because of some problems. The
money market is very tight. He saa.d that he would be agreeable to giving the
necessary easements until the platting is completed. He felt that all the
� utilities may as well a11 go in as it wou],d probably cost more to wait,
Councilman Sheridan commented that they would not go on the tax ro11s until
1971 with payment to start in 1972.
DISCUSSION REGARDING IMPROVEN,ENT OF 61� WAY:
The City Engineer said that this is a street along the east side of East River
Road This street was scheduled for improvement in 1970, but at the request
of the property owners it was deleted. Now there are two petitioners repre-
senting 5 lots (of a total of 7J that would like the improvement to go in.
One of the gentlemen interested in getting the improvement in, from Orbit
Investment Company, said that there was some hurry and that they were trying
to qet F.H.A. fLnancing. The City Engineer said thaL- this would represent
more than SOo on a petition. Councilman Harris asked if there was a formal
petrtion and the representative said no. Councilman Sheridan said that if there
could be 100% on a petition, the hearing could be waived. The City Engineer
said that the hearing has already been held on ,7uly 14, 1969 and so it would
not be a legal requirement to hold anoY.her one, a]though the Council agreed
that the other property owners should be noti£ied. It was agreed that they
would be notified by December Sth, so that action could be taken at that
Meeting. A representative asked if a letter of intent could not be written
stating that the street would be improved to facilitate their plans for

out £or bids every year. He did not feel that it should be at the whim of
the Council to go for bids sometimes and sometimes not. The Finance Director
said that they would not need an insurance advisor for the preparation of the
specifications as they are virtually the same as last year, but he advised that
the advisor be used in the tabulation of the results of the bids. Councilman

advxsor was about $70 last year, but should not cost that much this year

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 1, 1969 PAGE 12
� DISCUSSION REGARDING N.S.S.S.D. LINE THROUGH FRIDLEY SERVICING BROOKLYN PARK:
Councilman Harris explained that this routing is at the request of the Metro-
politan Council to serve Brooklyn Park, Maple Grove and other areas to the west
through the north � south interceptor. The contract will be 1et at the r.�xt
N.S.S.S.D. meeting December 9, 1969.
The City Engineer said that the reason this is being brought before the Council
is that a portion of 69th Way between East River Road and Hickory Drive wi11
be completely torn up. This section of stxeet was originally in the 1970
street improvement program but was deleted at the request of the people. He
would suggest calling these people together and explain to them that they will
be having their street torn up and now would be the time �o have it unproved
as there will be some credit due them from N.S.S.S.D. The property owners
would then pay only for the curb and gutter and a top mat, and the street
base work would be paid for by N.S.S.S.D. The City Engineer said that there
were 4 lots which is about 250' of street. The problem was brought out on
whether to credit only the individual lots abutting 69th Way, or to credit the
entire project with that part that N.S.S.S.D, would be paying for.
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to authorize notification of the people on these
4 lots to come to the next public hearing Meeting and instruct the City Engineer
to prepare figures for presentation to the people both by crediting the amount
paid by N.S.S.S.D. to the individuals, and by crediting the amount paid to
� the overall pro7ect. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all
voting aye, Mayor Harris Pro tem declared the motion carried.
DISCUSSTON REGZIRDING HOOKING UP ADDITIONAL CITY AREAS TO N-S.S.S.D, SYSTEM
Mr Comstock, of Comstock and Davis, Ine., Consulting Engineers came forward
and completely explained a proposal for dividing the City into service areas
for connection onto N.S.S.S.D. lines or the Minneapolis system He distributed
a copy of the plan and a map to each Council Member After some discussion
on the plan Councilman Harris asked how much the City could get in Pederal
grants and the Crty Manager answered he �hou�ht about 500, Mr. CoMStock said
that the Metropolitan Sewer Board has asked the N.S S.S D to outline areas
now being served by N.S.S.S.D and also the proposed service areas for the
future. Councilman Harris commented that he thought the plans should be
formulated while the N.S S.S.D. is still in existance. Councilman Liebl
asked if Mr, Comstock could foresee any problems in the south end of the City
since it is older and Mr. Comstock answered no, there is sufficient capacity.
Councilman Sheridan pointed out that the Council does not know for sure if the
Metropolitan Sewer Board will accept these plans without any actual physical
connection. Mr. Comstock said that the Metropolitan Sewer Board wanted
N.S S.S.D. to determine the boundary lines by the Sth of December for the areas
going into the N.S.S S.D. lines and into the Minneapolis system, It is true
that there would be a great deal more flexibility were all of the City in
one service area. Councilman Liebl asked Mr Comstock i£ he felt that there
will be any internal problems if this proposal is adopted, and N�. Comstock
� replied no, as far as the interceptors are concerned There may be minor
problems with the laterals. Councilman Sheridan said that he felt that this
proposal should be adopted with the indication that it is based on information
we pxesently have, then if there is a change later, a poxtion of the plan
could be withdrawn. Mr. Comstock said that if this proposal is adopted by
��

MGTION by Councilman Sheridan to concur with the recommendation of Comstock

wzth reference to Fridley's service areas connection to the N.S.S,S.D. lines.

have been compiled with more data and more tYme.
TH� MOTION was seconded by Councilman LIebl. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Harris Pro tem declared the motion carried.
Councilman I-Iarris questioned whether the City should move on the less costly
items immediately. Mr. Comstock said that it would make no particular
difference unless there were problems that he was not aware of. Councilman
Harris said no, no prcblems, 7ust that it may be easier to deal with N.S.S.S.D.
rather than the Metropolitan Sewer Board. Mr. Comstock said that the plans for
the smaller, cheaper construction areas could be easily developed. Council-
man Harris said that Areas #1, #5, #6, and #7 would cost about $51,000 and
could be the first step,
RESOLUTION #199-1969 - RESOLUTION ORDERING PLAIQS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR

Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Harris Pro tem declared the motion
carried.
Councilman Harris commented that Area #13 is so large and will be so costly
that when it is timc to do this, that some Federal funding should be considered.
He added that the plans and specifications should be ready as soon as possible
as the Metropolitan Sewer Board has the prerogative to take over any time after
.7anuary lst. Mr. Comstock sazd that he could have the specifiaatzons ready by
next Monday for presentation to the N.S.S.S.D. Board at their Meeting December
11, 1969.
DTSCUSSION RELATIVE TO MASTER USE AGREEMENT BETWEEN N S.S.S.D. AND MEMBER
COMMUNITIES^
Mayor Harris Pro tem said that this Master Use Agreement was presented to the
Council at the last Meeting where the City Attorney was asked to review it
and of£er any comments on the wording. The Master Use Agreement reflects the
abatement of REC charges retroactive to January 1, 1969 and will not be con-
strued as a debt outstanding. The City Attorney said that he had no ob7ection
to the language, but he wondered if it could be made concurrently with dis-
missal of the appeal on the REC charges currently in court. Councilman Liebl
asked if the Metropolitan Sewer Board will honor the decisions of the district
court. The City Attorney replied that this is an open question.
Councilman Harris said that there has to be 100o agreement by the memUer
communities on the Master Use Agreement before the hearing December 23rd.

be going in to serve Brooklyn Park. Mr. Comstock said that he could not see
that any additional capacity would be an advantage.
