E., said he would like to operate a flea market on Sunday afternoons from 1:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. Mayor Kirkham said that this is an item that should have been brought to the Council on the agenda. Mr. Link said they were told to come back to the Council for any hour changes, or any other changes. He explained that people would be selling their own items and the suction would just be renting them stalls. The City Engineer requested that the Administration be given time to investigate and report back at the next regular Council Meeting. The Council agreed there should be time to look into this fully. Mr. Link was requested to present a letter o� come in and discuss the hours and other details with the administration, and was told that this item will be back on the Agenda of January 4, 1971. �GU�e� �(3iJ�T��a. M�E��I�iG C�F LEC�EMS�E� 21, �9i0 PA(� 2 � � CONSID�RATION OF THE SECOND READING OF AN ORDINA.NCE FOR REZONING REQUEST ZOA ��'69-11 AND SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST SP ��69-01, BY BURLINGTON NORTHERN: PETITION ��21-1970: The City Engineer stated that the Council h�s received the revised petition prior to the meeting, and that the changes have been underlined. The material in the agenda is what has been presented by the Railroad Company. If the Council agrees, they could pass the ordinance on second reading and approve the variance requested and the special us� permit. Coun�ilman Liebl referred the Council to Item "�" in the petition dealing with relocating the existing old railroad crossir�gs. He said there was a petition to be presented to the Council and called on the gentle�ean in the audience. Receiving Petition �k20-1970 to remove that portion of the agreement between the City of Fridley and Burlington North�rn, Iu�c. that will allow the installation of the proposed crossings at 79th and 83rd Way Mr. Winston Jacobson, 121 79th Way N. E., came forward with a petition. He said that it was the responsibility of the Council to look after the well being of their constituents, and he felt they were neglecting this duty. He mentioned the recent deaths because of a train/car accident and said this must be borne by the Council for not Loo�Cing after its citizens. He said that the 77th Avenue crossing should not taave been there, and this would not have occurred. He said that although the railroad had been against the crossings previously because of safety, nora they agree to get the total improvement on their rezonings. He asked why th� Council wanted additional crossings. He said the signers of the petition had four reasons for their opposition. 1. The construction of suc.h crossings would be detri�ental to tfie safety of residents living in the area. 2. The crossings will increase the noise pollution in the area. 3. Traffic patterns must be better controlled. 4. The groposal to buy property or► the north end of the,City would be ruined l�y traffic with a crassing $t 83rd. Mr. Jacobson then presented a four step plan to insure the safety of thE residents in the area. 1. Close 77th crossing immediately. 2. Close the crossings at Ironton and Liberty as soon as possible. 3. Procure, and,if necessary, condemn land to extend Ashton Avenue to the north City limits as an induetrial service road. 4. If North Park is built he proposed to build a road to University one block south of the park that would reduce noise to the park ecology. He read the heading on the petition and presented it to the Council. MOTION by Councilman Breider to receive Petition 4k20-1970. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham , declared the motion carried. . Mayor Kirkham said that as far as he was concerned, the petition is worth very little because when the petition was circulated, it was indicated that the Council was asking for additional crossings and this is not the case. He s8id the railroad is agreeing not to oppose the relocation of crossings, but they are not proposing additional crossings. Mayor Kirkham said that as far as safety for the citizens was concerned, t�e remembered how hard the Council had worked for a grade spearation at Missiasippi Street. Councilman Harris said he was concerned that Mr. Jacobson felt the Council was not concerned about the safety of the residents, especially at railroad crossinga. He eaid that through this agreement the City has an opportunity � � �� , REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 21, 1970 PAGE 3 for two grade separations, one at 43rd and the other at Mississippi Street. Mr. Jacobson said that he has not lived in the City long enough to know the past, but he hoped the four proposals he presented would be considered by the Council. Councilman Breider asked the City Engineer whether there was a time frame- work on these crossings. The City Engineers said that a plan was adopted in 19b2, and they are moving in that direction. He said that 77th was a bad intersection, and they had cut through a road from 77th to Osborne to make it safer, so thaE the cars would go to controlled crossings. Gouncilman Breider asked if the City Engineer felt they could close 77th Avenue. The City Engineer said that if we get the control sig�al8, the need for 77th Avenue will be minimal and, as the road in the area is not finished, closing it now would be a matter of judgement. He said they could study this more and give the Council an opinion, but it will be difficult to close because of the road not being improved yet, but hope to have it completed aext suam�er. Councilman Breider asked Mr. Thompson from Burlington Northern the speed the trains were traveling in this area. Mr. Thompson said the passengers would be going about 65 miles per hour, and the freights would be going soa►e- what slower. Councilman Harris said that included in the agreement is the statement that if the Council appears before the Public Service Commission regarding crossings, the Railroad will not oppose us. He asked Mr. Thompson if this was correct. Mr. Thompson agreed that they would not oppoae the City. Councilman Harris asked Mr. Thompson if they would oppose the City if they asked for signalization. Mr. Thompson said they have participated in the signalization of crossings at normal cost to the railroad, and they would not object if they were warranted. Councilman Breider asked what they planned to do with the signals on Mississippi and 43rd Avenue after the underpass and overpass are installed. Mr. Thompson said that the relocation would be by the City and the State, and if the State pays 90% they will have the say. Councilman Harris asked if there was any reason why they could not communcate to the City through the Public Service Commission so that when the signals are removed, they could go to the other two crossings in Fridley. Mr. Thompson said they would have no objection to doing this. The Council reviewed the agreement with Burlington Northern and Councilman Harris drew their attention to Section "Q", He read the sentence in parenthesis, "($79,000 to be base December 31, 1970)", and stated that he felt this should be changed to 1971, as the agreement is being acted on this year, but the ordinance will not go into effect until 15 days after publi- cation which will be after January 1. He felt the way it was stated, they would be able to add the 10% figure during the first year if this work was started. There was a discussion among the City Attorney, the representatives of the r8ilroad and the City Council on the language in this Section. To clarify this, the Railroad Company agreed to amend the sentence to read, "($79;000 to be base until December 31, 1971)". They cha►iged the original petition and initialed the change. MOTION by Councilman Harris to receive the amended petition in regard to the expansion and operation of the railroad classification yard from the Burling- ton Northern Inc. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 21, 1970 PAGE 4 MOTION by Councilman Liebl to adopt Ordinance #470 to amend the City Code of the City of Fridley, Minnesota by making a change in zoning Districts upon second reading, waiving the reading and ordering publication. Seconded by Councilman Harris. Upon a roll call vote, Kirkham, Harris, Sheridan, Liebl, Breider voting aye, there being no nays, the motion carried. MOTION by Councilman Liebl to grant Burlington Northern the Special Use Permit and Variance as requested. Seconded by Councilman Harris for discussion. Councilcnan Harris said that since the Special Use Permit was drawn up for Tract A and Tract A& B, we have added another section in the petition under Section N1. He asked if this would affect the property to the north of I. 694. The City Engineer said that this present request is only for the area shown. He would assume they will have to make a new application for the rest. The City Attorney said that the variance is only for yard construction. He said his feelings would be that the agreement affects only area A& B. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, Mayor Kirkhem declared the motion carried. Councilman Harris requested that Mr. Thompson and the Attorney, Mr. Bartholic, direct a letter to the Public Service Commission that they will concur with the desires of the City if at any future date the signal apparatus is to be moved, and that they will suggest it be placed at designated crossings which may occur, so that the City would have the first opportunity when they are made available. The City Attorney asked the Railroad if they would draft the letter and give it to the City for the Public Service Commission. The Attorney Mr. Bartholic agreed. MOTION by Councilman Harris requesting a letter from the Burlington Northern Railroad, Inc., that they concur with the City in its desires that signal apparatus remain in Fridley at designated crossings when they are to be moved. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voxce vote, there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried. Councilman Breider went to the map and poiated out the area east of the rail- road tracts and north of 79th Avenue and said he would like to see the Engineering Department reevaluate our philosophy in this area, He said it would probably be to our advantage to channel traffic out to the east toward University and keep the crossing of the railroad to a minimum. The City Engineer said he was sure the Engineering Department could come up with more information on the direction of traffic in the area. Mr. Andrew Kohlan presented the Council with a letter from the DFL Party regarding the matter of several additional proposed railroad crossings they thought the Council was requesting. Mr. Kohlan outlined an idea to the Council using the NSSSD sewer easement adjacent to the railroad tracta for road usage. The Council explained that they were not seeking additional crossings, but are only trying to improve the crossings. Mr. Kohlan said that the information he has received is incorrect then. MOTION by Councilman Liebl to receive the coaununication from the Fridley DFL Club dated December 20, 1970. Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried. REGUL�R COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 21, 1970 REPORT �'ROM CITY ATTORNEY REGARDING REGULATION OF SNaWMOBILES: PAGE 5 The City Attorney discussed the proposed uniform snowmobile ordinance received from the Hennepin County League of Municipalities. He said there could be a little more control in the ordinance by placing a speed limit, he said they could make it ten to twenty miles per hour if they wanted, and could add more specifications on safety equipment. He said that the advantage of a . uniform ordinance would be for socneone driving from community to community to have standard regulations. Only six communities have passed this ordinance, but it has only been circulated since November. He said he has not had time to receive comments from the Chief of Police yet, but if he approves, the City Attoraey would urge adoption. Mayor Kirkham thought it would be to the Council's advantage to adopt a uniform ordinance, and he thought it could be adopted on first reading, and changes made before the second re,ading. Council- man Harris thought it would need some changes, not b�cause it was not inclusive, but he thought there were tsreas nat quite defined, Mr. Holm, the gentlman who had circulated•a petition regarding snowmc�biles, as�ced how you regulate a speed limit. Mayor Kirkham said that it will be their �wcx responsibility, and they will just have to travel slowly. Mr. Hola3 said he would like to see a speed limit of 10 or 15 MPH. Councilman Liebl ssid �hat it would be hard to keep the speed down that Low on snowmDbiles, he felt 10 MPH would be unrealistic. Councilman Sheridan said he could understand the peapl�'s concern about their children'as snowmobiles have little control as far ae stopping. Councilman Harris said that he nated that the slower they goy r.he quieter they are. It was also pointed oue that some communities req�ire th;�t fl�gs be flown for safety purposes. MOTION by Councilman Liebl that the proposed ar�ir.anc� be ser�t back to the Police Department for sugge5tzons-on the ordinarcti. S�cc�siued by Councilman Sheridan, Upon a voice vote, ttiere being no nays, iiayor Y.irkhaa declared the motion carried.

The City would get 15.4 feet of property and Mr. Nitschke would end up with an 80 foot lot. Mr. Nitschke would also give the City $250 with the exchange. He showed the Council a picture of the type of bungalow planned. The Planning Commission had recommended approval subject to Mr. Nitschke getting approval from the Building Standarc{s - Desi�n Control Subcommittee of the building plans prior to submission to the Cauncil.

He introduced Mr. Leland Douglas from Bachman-Anderson, Inc., who was present at the meeting to answer any questions the Council might have. Mr, Douglas said that there was one decision to be made by the Council. There is a base bid and two alternates, which would give additional Ll3UY'bity coverage, for liquor only or for the entire City operation. This is known as umbrella liability� Mr. Douglas also went on to explain why the prerniums are up. He said zhat the value of the property 'has gone ug, automobile insuraiice is much higher, payrolls are up, and the value of the buildings and equipmeat is up, so that the premium has increased 36%. The City Attorney questioned whether the additional liability coverage on the liquor would be necessttry now that a Government Tort Act is in effect setting the limit a municipality can be held liable for. There was a discussion between the Attorney, Council and Mr. Douglas on the advisability of having this extra coverage, The City Attorney said he would like to research this further. Mr. Douglas said it probably would be possible to award the bid with Option �k2 for additional liquor liability coverage,and if after fur.ther research, they feel they do not need the coverage, he was sure the P. M. Endsley Company would delete the umbrella liability pro-rata. Mr. Dale V. Hadtrath, representing P. M. Endsley Company, said that he was sure the company would agree to that cancellation. MOTION by Councilman Harris to concur with ttae recommendation of the admini- stration and Mr. Douglas of Bachman-Anderson, Inc, and award the bid for property and casualty insurance coverage to P. M. Endsley Company, subject to final Feview of the exact policy and submission of a letter from the P. M. Endsley Company stating they will cancel the umbrella liability on the excess on the liquor coverage if the City requests. Seconded by Council- man Sheridan.

CONSIDERATION OF JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT TO ESTABLISH NORTH SUBURBAN SEWER SERVICE BOARD• PAGE 9 Councilman Harris said that he has gone over the agreement and the Board has gone over it a number of times. He felt it was a good agreement as ft provides'for direct information relative to what the Metropolitan Sewer Board might do and all the communities in the service area will be able to use this method to let the Metropolitan Sewer Board know of the needa of this area. He recommended that the Council approve the agreement and join the Sewer Service Board, The Council decided to bring this agreement back on the Agenda next October'for renewal.

Councilman Harris said he thought it was a good idea to have a definite policy. Councilman Sheridan drew the Council's attention to Item S, "Authority", and said he felt the City Manager rather than the City Council could authorize the use of the employees and equipment.

He said that both he and the City Manager were opposed to this. He said it could happen that the State could be bonded to its capacity and some City that has the ability to -back their pwn bonds could not get it. Councilman Herris said he liked theidea of short term financing, but the idea tha,t the full fsith of the State lowers the interest rate is not always right. The City Manager said that the two proposals are unrelated and should be�handled separately. Councilman Harris said if the Council is agreed on these two proposals, copies of the Couc�cil's action should be sent to our State Legislators, the League of Minnesota Municipalities and the Anoka County Association of Municipalities, so they know how the Council stands. MOTIOIV by Councilman Harris tlaat the Administrat�,on indicate to the Legis- lators, Le.ague of Minnesota Municipalities and Anoka County Association of Municipalities that the Council is not in favor of,the State guarantee of local bond issues and that the Council is in favor of short-term financing alternates that might be made available. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, Mayor Kirktiam declared the motion carried. DISCUSSION REGARDING COST OF TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT T.H. #47 AND COUNTY RQAD 132 (85TH AVENiTE N,W. ) Mayor Kirkham said he did not see where any one of the communities could say this signal is of any value to another community as each of the communities will have traffic going through the signal. The City.Eagineer said that this intersection is very bad as far as accidents are concerned. l�e said that the remaining $10,000 in construction cost has to be financed by the local municipalities. He thought our share probably should be $2500. The City Engineer said that the maintenance and electric power for the signal's operation should come from someone other than Fridley. The Council agreed on the figure of $2500. MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to concur with the recommendation of the Engineering Department and approve the amount of $2500 as Fridley's ehare of a traffic signal at the intersection of T.H. ��47 and County Road 132 (85th Avenue N.W.), with the understanding that maintenance and electric power are to come from someone other than Fridley.

RESOLUTION ��232-1970 PROVIDING FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF AN ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER AND PRESCRIBING HIS DUTIES: PAGE 11 Councilman Breider said that he wondered if the Council would not be creating another office within the City, and giving each department head two bosoes. Councilman Harris felt the City was now large enought for an Assistant City Manager to give the City Manager assistance in certain areas and to have the powera to act on behalf of the City Manag�r in his absence. He said he did not �eel it was creating two boases. Councilman Breider felt the Council should not do this in tihe absence of a City Manager, as a new City Manager might not be in favor of this. Mr. Brunsell said that this is basically what is in the present resolution naming.him Acting City Manager, and that he is not asking for this appointment himself. Councilman Liebl suggested this be laid over until we have a new City Manager. Mayor Kirkham said he could not see where it created two boses, as it was just making an Assistant City Manager.. Councilman Breider atat�d that he read the Resolution as creating a full time position with the power of the City Manager, with his authority. He said that the City Manager hae created a personnel chart, and this is t�e function of the Ci�y M,anager. Couacilman Harris said that it was up to the Council to create positioae oa the basis of REGUTAR COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 21, 1970 need. The City [�ttorney said he did not aee any legal probleme with this. He said perhaps they would not want to tie in the position of Finance Director as th�e one who is the Assistant City Managez. Councilman Harris said the name "Finance Director" could be removed from the heading, and name Mr. Brunsell by name i,n the resolution. - ' PAGE 13 , , � MOTION by Councilman Harris to delete the words, "Finance Director" from the heading of the Resolution and adopt Resolution �232-1970 providing for the appointment of an Assistant City Manager and prescribing his duties.

HIGHIAND TAXICAB LICENSE: PAGE 13 Mr. William Bennett asked to address the Council about a taxicab application. He explained that he had an arrangement with Mr. Kahles whereby Mr. Bennett would furnish equipment, cars and in return Mr. Kahles would operate one car and the company artd be the night dispatcher, and pay his part of the expenses. Since that time Mr. Kahles who owns the Highland Taxi Cab License has not done anything on his end of the agreement. Mr. Bennett said that the business does not seem to be profitable unless he can combine it with the company he owna, but Mr. Kahles will not surrender the License. He said that he has just shyt the company down this evening. He explained that Mr. Kshles will not come to town as there is a warrant for his arrest. The Council asked Mr. Bennett what part of the business he owned. Mr. Bennett said that he owned the equipment and Mr. Kahles owns the license. He said there are two cars in good shape which he has title to. He was asked if Mr. Kahles would have equipment to run the company if Mr. Bennett pulled his cabs out, and he said that Mr. Kahles would not have any equipment. Councilman Harris said that if Mr. Kahles cannot maintain his service, there is no raason to maintain his license, but this would have to be checked out. The Manager of Aighland Taxicab Company said they would like to shut down the Highland Taxicab Company and have an operation of their own, but they cannot get Mr. Kahles to appear to give up his license. He .said that theq do operate the Red Cab Company out of the same business office and he has eome equipment in the Valley Cab Company, and he is not asking the Council to cancel Mr. Kahles license, but he is asking for his own license. Mr. Bennett explained that they have service contracts with serveral businesses in Fridley, and they are afraid they will lose them if they are not able to operate their cabs while a new license application is being processed, and they asked if they would be able to run the cabs until the next regular meeting. He said he had some available under the Red Cab name. The City Attorney pointed out that the service contract for passengers was with Highland Cab and if they pick them up in a Red Cab, there could be a problem. The City Manager said that the City wouldhave to have the cab licenses registered. The Manager of Highland Cab Company said that the insurance on the cabe is twice the amount the City requires. Councilman Sheridaa asked why they couldn't ope.rate as Highland Cab until they have a chance to get a license for Red Cab processed, show ownerahip of the cabs and have them inspected. Councilman Harris asked Mr. Bennett if he didn't have one good Highland �ab they could pick up their customers with until the next Council Meeting. Councilman Liebl eaid he �tould like to m,akQ sure the service contract is honored because there is an obligation to the people from the different companies that use this cab company. MINUTES OF THE REGULAR COUNC2L MEETING, DECEl�i$ER 21, 1970 There was a discussion about having the name of the cab companies painted on the doors of the cab so a person would know what cab company he is dealing with. Mr. Bennett was told that this would only be a temporary solution, and there is two weeks before this meeting and the next regular Council meeting which should be enough time for them to get all their papers in, and then this should appear on the Council Agenda of January 4, 1971.

The vacation is for Brooks Street. The � City will need some easements, but the first reading could be held, then the � second reading held up until receipt of the easements. Mayor Kirkham asked if there was anything new on the clean-up of the property � � directly south. The City Attorney said that he had visited with the Prose- cuting Attorney on this. There are three tenants occupying the property. The building is not too bad structurally, but there is a lot of debris that � needs cleaning up. He said that he had asked that an inspection be made by A1 Bagstad, Building Inspector. He said also that the weeds need cutting. ' He said that he would itemize the work that needs to be done, give them 10 � days, then if it is not done, issue a prosecution tag. It would be difficult to enforce the stipulations in regard to plantings and fencing as 7.years have elapsed, but the building itself would not look too bad with some plantings and a fence.
