VISITORS�
Mr. James Petron. 5300 Fillmore Street N.E , Complaint on Weed Cutt
Mr. Petron said that he is a future resident of the City of Fridley, he is
building a house on 53rd and Fillmore. He said during the month of July he
received a form letter from the Weed Inspector to cut the weeds. The cost
estimate that was included stating what the City would charge seemed reasonable,
after checking to see what he could get the work done for by a private £irm, or
renting machinery himself. After checking, his wife called the secretary in that
office and told her to have the City go ahead and cut the weeds. The �ob was
done, and although he was not entirely satisfied with the �ob they did, he let
it go. On the 30th of August he received a bill from the Czty for cleaning up
his property, which is the Ei of Lot 11, Auditor's Subdivision #94, and was
M�

Work Order No. 377. The bill included a break down of costs and totaled '
$43.29 In the cicanup preparation, there is 1'� hrs. for labor, 1z hours for
a truck and li hrs for the truck driver, £or a total charge of �24.63. However,
the huilder's wife lives next door and she saw tfie truck arrive, the men stood
around and talked £or a while, then one man walked over the lot, then got into
the truck and drove away. The area mowed is roughly 80 feet north and south,
and 60 feet east and west, and did not take longer than 10 minutes to cut. He
said if he would have gotten a bill for '2 of that amount, he �ould have been
upset. If this is the way the City operates and the fees the City charges, then
it should be self-supporting and there would be no need for ta�ces. He said
he was aware o£ his civic ohligation, but he refuses to pay this hill. He
then showed the Council pictures of the lot after it was mowed and did not
feel that it looked much better, and questioned if clover would be considered
a noxious weed He added that every other department he has dealt with at
City Hall during the process of building a home has been most cooperative
Mayor Kirkham asked Mr. Petron if he had talked to anyone at City Hall. Mr.
Petron said he had not. Mayor Kirkham said this would have been the proper
procedure, as the Council will turn his complaint over to the City Manager
to check out the next day. He asked the City Nlanager to call Mr. Petron
after he found out the information.
Mr. Chuck Van Eeckhout, Viewcon. Bid Award £or Sewer � Water Pro�ect #103:
Mr. Van Eeckhout said that due to a conflict in scheduling meetings, he would
have to leave the Fridley Council Meeting to attend another, but would be '
back at 10 00 P.M. He asked that the Council defer consideration of the award
for Sewer and Water Pro7ect #103 until them.
Councilman Liebl, Resuscitation Equipment in Police Department.
Councilman Liebl asked i£ every squad car is equipped with resuscitating
equipment and if so is it tested regularly. He said he received some complaints
that they do not have good equipment and that it is not working properly, and
asked what could be done to rectify this,
The City Manager said that he also had a complaint recently. Two years ago the
City made the decision to equip the squad cars with a resuscitating device
called an "Ambu Bag" which pumps azr, not pure oxygen. This decision was based
on the advice of several practitioners. Every squad car is equipped wrth such
a device and all the Police Officers are skilled in the techniques of First
Aid There are also two resuscitators in the Police Department which supply
pure oxygen and to his knowledge they are in working order. He said he would
check with the Police Chief the next day.
PUBLIC f�ARING ON ASSESSMENT FOR STR�ET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ST. 1970-1 -
JEFFERSON STREET FROM 57TH AVHNUE TO 58TH AVENUE AND 57TH hVENUE FROM WASHINGTON
TO JEFFERSON:
Councilman Liebl gave an outlzne of the history of the proceedings to date as '
they pertain to these streets. There has been a lot of discussion and the
Council action from past meetings can be £ound in the September 20, 1971
Agenda. Je£ferson Street is 30' wide and does not serve those properties £ronting
on Madison Street. All the driveways face Madison Street. The Council deczsion

, CONSIDERATION OF SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE FOR REZONING REQUEST ZOA #�1-D3
BY JOHN P YOUNGDALE (FROM R-3 TO C-2) IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF UNIVERSITY
AVENUE AN➢ OSBORNE ROAD
AND
CONSIDERATION OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT SP #71-03 TO CONSTRUCT A SERVICE STATION
IN A G 2 DISTRICT (GENERAL BUSINESS AREA) IN THH NORTHERST CORNER OF UNIVERSITY
AVENUE AND OSBORNE ROAD:
Councilman Harris said that he was surprised to see this back on the Agenda His
understanding o£ the motion by Councilman Kelshaw at the last meeting wa� that the
petition to the Highway Department for a"Walk" signal must be successful before
consideration of the second reading.
The City Engineer explained that this item is back on the Agenda at the request
of the applicant. He pointed out there was a letter wrrtten to the Highway
Department by Mr. Wyman Smith, attorney £or the applicant, and also by him,
on behalf of the City. In his conversations with the Highway Department they
feel a study is required to see if there is a need and if there is, they would
put it in. It would cost roughly $4,000 to $5,000 and would not be a ma�or
alteration to the facility already in place
Mr. Wyman Smith said that the next day after the last meeting he tried to carry
out the suggestions made. He called the City Engineer to get the name of the
, District #S Engineer, Norm Osterby, and sent a letter to him. Mr. John Youngdale
has also talked to Mr. Elasky, District Traffic Engineer and there did not seem
to be any great problem, They did not seem to be opposed to the proposal. They
do have certain standards as to what the traffic count and pedestrian count
should be to warrant such a signal. He said he talked to Mr Mike 0'Bannon,
I1
.,
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 1971
PAGE 4
County Commissioner, and he offered any help he could give at the County level. �
He said American Oil has also agreed to help finance this. They would like to
start construction soon, before the frost sets in. He thought it may be back-
wards to put in a"Walk" sign before there are any pedestrians.
Councilman Harris said he would feel more assured if the Council had a coimnuni-
cation from the Highway Department that they will put in the "Walk" sign when
the £acility is constructed. The motion last meeting passed £our to one, with
Gouncilman Breider voting nay. He said his concern was the same as Councilman
Breider's, but he would be willing to vote for the rezoning if there was an
agreement in writing from the Highway Department stating that they will put in
the signal If the Ordinance was passed first, he was not too sure the City
could get what they wanted. A9r Smith said he would try to get the letter the
Council wants.
Mr. Youngdale said he had talked to Mr. Elasky about installing a pedestrian
signalized crossing. There appears to be nothing standing in the way of installing
it when the Clty would require it. As to the cost, the Minnesota Highway
Deroartment normally bears the cost if the pedestrian count measures up to their
guidelines, There are things they take into consideration such as the pedes-
trian count per hour per day, and also whether the highways involved have
medians In this case T.H. #47 does but Osborne Road does not. He did not
see any great problem; i£ the pedestrian count warrants a signal, the Highway
Department will put one in at their cost
Councilman Harris said he would still llke to have it in �xit�ng. In the
past due to various reasons, the Crty has not gotten n�Ytat Ntas �xomised verbally.
He added there were other conditions listed also and Mr. Smith said the stipulation
would be on the special use permit and they have agreed to them. Mr. Smith said
that he must agree with Councilman Harris and that it probably would be best
to get the promise in writing, as he knew too, that they do seem to change
their minds. The City Manager said he questioned the ans�rex the City might
get, such as, will they put the "Walk" sign in when conditions warrant? Would
the Council want to set a definite commitment, such as a date? Counciiman
Harris said he would like it to be Lpon completion of the facility.
Councilman Breider asked where the crosswalk would be installed. The City
Engineer said it would be to cross Osborne Road on the east side of T.H. #47 and
on the west side of the frontage road. There is 60' - 7D' space between the
highway and the frontage road. Mayor Kirkham commented that the frontage road
was more in the nature of a residential street. Councilman Breider did not feel
the pedestrian crossing wauld do any good because the children south of Osborne
Road would have to go to the corner to push the button for the "Walk" signal, go
to the Highway and cross, then go Uack down the north side of Osborne Road to
the Quik Shop. He did not think the children would do this. They would take
the shortest route and that would be directly across Osborne Road. Councilman
Kelshaw felt that this development was oriented to draw trade from north of that
area. There are already apartment houses there and the area will become even more
dense He did not think there would be that much foot traf£ic from south of
Osborne Road. Councilman Breider said there were a lot of children walking on '
Osborne Road. A lot of them go to the Quik Shop on T H. �65 and he did not want
the same problems on the west end of Osborne that the City has on the east end.
r�

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 1971 PAGE S
� Councilman Harris said that the Crty does not have control over the development
north of Osborne Road as that is Spring Lake Park. He said that if there is a
"Walk" signal and parental instructions for the children to cross at the cross-
walk, the City will have fulfilled their obligations in trying to provide safety.
He said if the communication is received from the Highway Department, he would
be willing to move for the second reading of the ordznance at the next meeting.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to table consideration of the rezoning ordinance and
special use permit for American Oil to the meeting of October 4, 1971. Seconded
by Councilman Kelshaw. Upon a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Kirkham declared the
motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE REGULATING TI-IE LICENSING AND MANNER
OF CONDUCTING DANCES.
Mayor Kirkham asked the audience if anyone wished to have the ordinance read,
with no response.
Councilman Liebl asked if this ordinance would apply to both outside and inside
dances. The City Manager said it would apply to any dance as long as it meets
the definition of a public dance. Councilman Harris asked if those of a civic
nature were excluded and the City Manager said yes, at the Council discretzon.
Councilman Liebl asked if the Council had the perogative to waive the fee and
the Acting City Attorney said yes. He said the ordinance was directed at full
time dance halls and could be used in controlling any dance in the City of Fridley.
� The State Statutes were used to define public dances. Councilman Breider asked
i£ the ordinance would cover street dances The Acting City Attorney said yes it
would be $10 for one day unless the Council would want to waive the fee, but he
thought they should still get a license to assure City knowledge of the function
and to make sure the Police Department knew about it.
Councilman Breider asked how this differs from the music festival ordinance that
is to be considered later in the meeting. The Acting City Attorney sazd that
mainly the music festival ordinance is meant to control large groups of people
and to ensure the health, safety and welfare of the people. A music festival
does not necessarily include dancing, although it may be incidental to it.
Included in the music festival ordinance is the requirement of a bond in case
something should go wrong. That ordinance has language taken from the Supreme
Court ruling to regulate a large number of people. The City Manager said it was
a matter of emphasis. Dancing is not mentioned in the music festival ordinance.
Councilman Kelshaw said that the ordinance ctates that an officer must be present,
who pays� The Acting City Attorney said that the State Statutes say an officer
must be present. Under normal procedures, the owner is required to hzre an
officer and he pays that man. The peace officer is to be approved by the Council
and a peace officer is interpreted as being an employee of the City of Fridley,
or another unit approved, or a Deputy Sher]ff. Mayor Kirkham said that it would
not hurt to add that the expense of the officer is to 6e borne by the licensee.
� Councilman Breider asked i£ an officer is supposed to be present for a street
dance. The Acting City Attorney said yes, the State Statutes say any public
dance, and this would include a dance sponsored by a church group or some other
group,
�'
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 1971
PAGE 6
Mr. Jim Gibson said the Lions Club have had dances over the last four or '
five years at the VFW Hall or the KC Hall, and did not have an officer present
except at the last one They have policed it themselves, quite successfully.
It appears that if an organization such as theirs wanted to have a dinner and
dance, they would have to come in and apply for a permit and also would have to
have a police officer present. Mayor Karkham said the ordinance would require
that they apply, but the Council could waive the fee. The Council would still
want to know about it. Councilman Breider asked if the Council could waive
the requirement of a policeman in attendance and the Acting City Attorney said
no, municipalities do not have that authority, Mayor Kirkham said it would not
necessarily have to be from Fridley's force. He asked if the Sargeant at Arms
could be deputized, and the Acting City Attorney 5aid not unless he was made a
Deputy 5heriff.
Councilman Liebl said there are a great number of licenses that a small business-
man has to get, and this would be �ust $100 more. They must also hire a police
of£icer, and some of the smaller businesses are alrEady struggling to make a
living. He commented that the people of Fridley are responsible citizens and
they did not need a police of£icer looking over them at street dances. The
State Statutes already provide protection, so he must be in opposition to this
proposed ordinance. This extra $100 would be �ust one more burden for a business-
man.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to tahle this ordinance indefinitely. Seconded by �
Councilman Harris. Upon a voice vote, Liebl, Harris, Breider and Kelshaw
voting aye, Mayor Kirkham voting nay, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion
carried.

AWARDING CONTRACT FOR WATER, SANITARY SEWER, AND STORM SEWER PROJECT #103.
(Bids Opened 11;30 A M,, August 27, 1971 and listed in the Minutes of August
30, 1971)
, Councilman Harris suggested that the Council consider this item, although N]r.
Van Eeckhout zs not yet present, He noted is was only shortly after 9:00 P.M.
and the Gouncll would have to wait for close to an hour for Mr. Van Eeckhout's
return, and added that he was sure that Mr. Van Eeckhout would understand He
noted that the letter rec2ived from the Consulting �ngineers, Suburban Engineering,
recommends the awarding of the bid. This is the last meeting the award may be
made before the time hmxt elapses, and i£ the City were to go out for rebids,
they may come in higher. He said he was still concerned about the traffic
routing since Viewcon has not received agreement from New Brighton for access
from Silver Lake Road.
There was some discussion on how much work was involved beyond the boundaries of
the single £amily lots and Councilman Harris thought it would be about 150 of
the bid The City Engineer said that if the Council considers withholding that
portion of the work that goes beyond the single family lots temporarily, then he
would suggest getting a letter from the contractor stating that when that pr�xtion
of the pro7ect is put back in, that it will be for the sarne price as bid.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to award the contract for Water, Sanitary Sewer �,
Storm Sewer Improvement Pro�ect #103 to Dunkley Surfacing Company in the amount
of $284,281,10, deleting that portion o£ the work that goes beyond the boundaries
of the single family lots, with the agreement of the contractor that when the
situation is resolved with New Brighton, Fridley can add that portion of the work
back into the pro�ect at the same price as hid. All the traffic is to be routed
� on Hillwind Road only unul such time as permission is received from New
Brighton that Silver Lake Road can be used. The motion was seconded and upon
a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried urtanimously.
