REGULAR COUNCIL MEETjNG OF AVGUST 7, 1972
Mr. Joseph Anderson 6570 Fridlev Street N E - Trailer Permit�
PAGE 3
Mr. Ar�derson explained that he and his wife have travelled for many years in their
trailer doing missionary work. They have a hoane at this address and now they would
like to move into their home and not travel any more. They would like to park
the trailer on the lot and live in it only until they complete the redecorating
of their house, probably during September sometima. After that they would live
in the house and store the trailer on their lot. He said they have already paid
the $5 fee for storing the trailer.
The City Engineer explained that Mr. 6 Mrs. Anderson came into City Hall Friday
' too late to be put on the Agenda. A couple of years ago there was some trouble
with parking trailers in residential areas, so the requirement now is to get the
signatures of the adjoining neighbors stating they have no objection. He did not
' think Mr. Anderson has obtained that signatuze yet. He suggested if the Council
wished, the permit could be approved contingent upon getting the neighbor's
signature.
'

'
MOTION by Councilman Breider to approve the issuance of the permit for Mr. & Mrs.
Joseph Anderson to park their trailer at 6570 Fridley Street N.E., while they
complete redecorating their house, which is to be in September, contingent upon
getting the signature of the adjoining property owners stating they have no
objection. Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon a wice vote, all ayes, Mayor
Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
The City Engineer said he vrould call their neighbor that complained tomorrow A.M.,
and if they will withdraw their objection, the permit could be issued tomorrow.

Mr. Wall said that he did not recieve a copy of the agreement until Friday, and

MOTION by Councilman Breider that, inasmuch as Mr. Wall has not had a full opportunity
to review the agreement, the City Engineer & City Attorney be directed to meet with Mr.
Wall and the Riedels to finalize the agreement, and that the second reading of the
ordinance is not to be considered until the agreement is completed. Seconded by
Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the motion
carried unanimously.
Mayor Liebl asked the City Attorney if the agreement could be ready for next Monday

' better condition to accept increased flows from future improvements. The trouble
with the flume method would be if the river rises, the water would back up into
the creek and there could be erosion behind the concrete banks. A pipe placed
at a higher level would eliminate this.
The City Engineer continued Alternate #3 proposes a closed pipe system to be in-
stalled in the present creek bed. This would eliminate the open creek but would
retain a wild area adjacent to the pipe. The cost of this plan would be approxi-
mately $170,000. Alternate #4 is similar to #3 except that the channel would be
filled, then a closed pipe system laid over the existing channel. This would pro-
vide an outlet above the flood plain. The cost of this plan is about $225,000.
Alternate #5 would be to install a closed conduit in Craiqbrook Way. A minimum
flow would be maintained through the creek for aesthetic purposes. This plan also
would cost about $225,000 but could be reduced to $200,000 if open cutting is
allowed rather than jacking unde�r East River Road. This alternate would provide
a complete system from Main Street to the river, would provide ultimate capacity
and would require minimum maintenance. This would, of course, be the best
solution, but it is also the most expensive.
The City Engineer continued that no matter what plan is ultimately selected, there
is some immediate bank work that should be done and the culvert,capacity under
Alden Way must be corrected.
Mayor Liebl said that the people have indicated they are willing to pay their
' fair share. They want to preserve the creek and be protected too. He asked
which alternate the City Engineer would recommend. The City Engineer replied
that obviously the most expensive alternate would provide the most protection
, and the aast capacity, it is all a matter of money. The choice is a Council
pxerogative, each method has some advantages and disadvantages.

Councilman Mittelstadt Said that at this point, he did not think the residents
could make a competent judgment, and thought that he should set up a neighborhood
meeting with them to explain the alternatives available. zn this way they could
come into the public hearing with more knowledge. He said normally the public
hearing should be next monLh, but he would like to have it scheduled for the 21st
of August. The City Attorney said that the State Statutes require publication of
a public hearing notice twice (two weeks) plus written notice being sent out.
There would not be time to do this before the 21st of August.
The City Engineer showed the storm sewer district map on the easel and said that
the area to the south also contributes to this district. The question then
becanes just who should receive the notices. These people will not be happy,
but they do contribute water to the dietrict. Mayor Liebl said this problem has
been around for 10 years now, and it is about time something was done about it.
If the people are going to be assessed, he thought it should be a pezmanent
solution and be done with it,
Mayor Liebl asked if the attempts to get any outsi,de help to clean up the creek
' had been successful. The City Manager said the Army National Guard and the Reserve
Uaits had been contacted, but because this is private property, they are restricted
fFi�Il �Q7.�}� this type of work. He said at this point he is at a loss to know where
, }��xk �p turn �q; 1�pl,g� ��ly�� �y�]�l asked if the City Public Works people could
.da� �"g�${i�,'dpwn to help. Tha City I�nage; Said he vrould take a look at what is

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 7, 1972 PAC,E 7
Mr. Richard Elliott, 210 Craigbrook Way, asked if there was any way to stop any
more hooking into a system that would dump more water into the creek until something
is completed on this project? He said at this point he did not want any more storm
water dumped in.
The City Engineer explained that this is all just a matter of moving storm water
from causing a problem in one place to another place. Before the culvert was
put in under East River Road the people east of East River Road were being flooded.
The culvert was made lower and larger to take care of their flooding, so the problem
was moved from one place to another. It is actually the same water, no more is
being added, the water was just being backed up behind East River Road before. To
go one step further, the people east of East River Road were in trouble because a
larger culvert was put in under University Avenue. As to Mr. Elliott's concern,
the work ordered in by the Council for east of East River Road has been completed,
so there will not be any more water added.
THE VOTE UPON TfIE MOTION, being a voice vote, all vating aye, Mayor Liebl declared
the motion carried unanimously.
RESOLUTION #94-1972 - A RESOLUTION RECEIVING THE PRELIMINARY REPORT AND CALLZNG
A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE MATTER OF CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS� S7bRM SEWER IMPROVE-
MENT PROJECT i{102. ADDENDUM #2:�
MOTION by Councilman Mittelstadt to adopt Resolution #94-1972, and set the public �
hearing date for August 28, 1972. Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote,
all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mrs. Martin asked if they could not get at least two hours of work done? She said
for instance, there is a very la,rge willow tree that could very well be lost. She
said she is just not capable of moving a 300 pound tree. The trees and logs are
olosing up the creek, so couldn't some funds be freed on the basis that the natural
drainaqe is being closed off?
The City Attorney said that there would not be a great problem in using public
funds to clear the creek, however, there should be a waiver signed by the property
owners befoXe the City enters onto the private property. This waiver should hold
the City harmless. Mr. Elliott suggested that the waiver could be worked out for the
property owners to siqn when Councilman Mittelstadt meets with them. The City
Manager suggested that the Council could authorize an expenditure of up to $5000
from the unappropriated reserve portion of the budget to be used for manpower and
equipment, contingent upon their signing the waiver.
RESOLUTION #95-1972 - A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CfiANGING OF THE BUDGET
APPROPRIATIONS WITHIN THE GENERAL FUND: ($5,000 for Stonybrook Creek Work)
, MOTION by Councilman Mittelstadt to adopt Resolution #95-1972. Seconded by
Counci}man Utter.

,
The City Engineer said that this would provide for the immediate bank work,as to
go through all tha legal requirements would require another two months. It was
pointed out that if a project is Ordered in, this $5,000 would then be charged
agai.nst the project and would then be replaced into the unappropriated reserve
��Mrtion of the budget.

The City Englneer said as the Council is aware, there were about 6 months of
public hearings on the improvement of East River Road, after which the plans were
approved by the Council and submitted to the County. They County Board is
uhhappy with Fridley because they formalized the plan, then changed their minds.
There are State and Federal funds in this project, and formalizing the project has
to stop sauewhere. He said he wanted the Council to be fully aware of what this
project is in case there were any reservations. It was already appmved before
by the previous Council. The divider would run from 64th Avenue to just short of
Rice Creek Way, and cuts off left turn access into Hirsch's apartments.
Mayor Liebl said he had just talked to Mike O'Bannon a short time ago and he
assured him that the divider would not go north far enough to cut off the access
for the four property auners north of Mississippi. The City Attorney added
that then there vrould be no problem as Hirsch has access from Missi$sippi Way at
the south and would not need the access to East River Road.
MOTZON by Councilman Mittelstadt to approve the plan on Page #14 of the Council
Aqenda providing a divider fxom 64th Avenue, past the Hirsch apartments, but
stopping short of cutting off the four property owner's access. Seconded by
Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the

major of which was the flow figures. These have been adjusted downward to the
1971 figures, resulting in a net reduction for 1972 of $38,936.98. He now would
recommend approval of the 1972 cost allocation for Fridley of $364,007.28.

planned by this reorganization and no changes in salary. The basic reason for
this plan is because the Public Works and Engineering functions are so closely

CONSIDERATION OF FOUNDATION PERMIT RE UESTED BY MINNESOTA LINSEED
PAGE 17
Mr. William Edberg, Plant Manaqer for Minnesota Linseed, came forward and explained
he had applied for'a pezmit to build a foundation for a grain drier. He had
thought this would just be a regular pmcedure, but was told he would have to go
through the regular channels for building a building. it seems that the inspection
Department considered thia drier a building and he considered it a piece of
equipment.
The City Engineer explained that he had advised them of the procedure to use. They
could go to the Building Standards - Design Control on the lOth, but then would
not be considered by the Council until the 24th and they are in a hurry.
A1c'. Edberg said that they have already let the contract. All they need is a
foundation to set this equipment upon. He said this equipment that will sit on
the foundation is considered a piece of grain processing equipment in his business.
He said he knew the procedure, but did not know this would be considered a
building. The City Engineer said there may be other considerations the Building
Standards would want to consider, such as screening, There followed a disaussion
at the Council table while looking at pictures of the equi�m°nt.
MOTION by Councilman Mittelstadt to grant a foundation permit to Minnesota
Linseed for this piece of equipmQnt, with the stipulation that they are to appear
before the next Building Standards - Design Contml Meeting for their review.
Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote,all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared

VISITORS:
Mr. James R. Felegy, 200 53rd Avenue:
Mr. Felegy appeared before the Council and complained about tne noise that trucks
'� make as they pass his home on 53rd Avenue, even as early as 4:00 A.M. He stated
that these trucks are mainly from Midland Cooperatives. He said he thought
� they are retarding their brakes, going from Main Street to�University Avenue, �
' rand this is shutting out their muffler system resulting in the loud noise. He
�believed the truck drivers could curb this practice. He also thouyk�t the
trucks could travel on 57th Avenue rather than 53rd and they would thea pass
4fewer residential homes. Mayor Liebl said that 53rd is a State Aid Road and
' trucks were allowed to travel on these streets. Mayor Liebl suggested the
��Police Department check into this and see what they could do about reme3yir.g .
� this situation. Councilman Mittelstadt suggested hSr. Feleay try to get the
,� .number on the trucks that do this and turn them over to the Police Departmer�t
so they can warn these drivers to slow down and drive more carefclly.-

FAGE 3
' POBLIC HEARING ON F1NAL ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR SANITARY SEWER, WATER AND STORM
SEWER IMPROVEMENT PI�JECT #106:
' Mayor Liebl read th�� Notice of Hearing and opened the Public Hearing at 8:00
P.M. The City Engineer pointed out the sewer and water lines in che area on
the overhead projecter. He said this is basically the utilities for the new
plat of Briardate, the area to the west and the older lots in Cochran's Addition.
' Mayor Liebl read unit costs for sewer laterals and services, water laterals
and services and storm sewer.
'� Mr. Thomas Reed, 6130 Stinson Boulevard N.E., objected to the storm.sewer
assessment because his lot drained to the lot behind him, and if someone else
had a problem and needed a storm sewer, that was their problem and not his.
Mayor Liebl explained that everyone in the area will eventually be assessed for
' a share of storm sewer. He said that whether people lived on high ground or
low ground everyone is assessed the same, and this is a policy diligently followed
by the City Council. Mr. Reed asked if he had not already been assessed for a
, storm sewer in Stinson Boulevard. The City Engineer answered that he had not
been. The City Engineer explained that this was a partial assessment and that
there will�be an additional assessment in the future for an outlet.
Mr. Wallace M. Marcum, 6172 Stinson Boulevard N.E., said he could not see where
his property is benefitted at all. He said he had all the drainage he needed,
and if someone else wants to develop - fine, but they should have to pay for
the storm sewer that has to go with it.
Mr. Dennis Schneider, 6190 Stinson Boulevard N.E., said that the assessment
figures for this assessment were not available until six days prior to the
meeting, and if someone did want to organize other property owners, it did not
give them much time. He also asked why the drainage area cut right across two
lots. The City Engineer explained tne City's policy of dividing the City into
watershed areas so that everyone shares in the cost of storm sewers in the dis-
trict they are in. Everyone pays the same assessment in the district w;iether
they are on high or low ground. He said that this is not completing ttie whola
system because it is too expensive, and an outlet will eventually have to be
provided. Mr. Schneider asked how much it will cost additionally when the rest
o£ the system goes in. The City Engineer said that builders are beinq required
to put $S00 in escrow, which is the estimated wst. This Yigure will be adjusted
later.
, Mr. Mike G'Bannon, 5298 Fillmore Street N.E., asked the overall assessmu:t for
ston��, sewer and was told it was `a� for 160 square feet of area. He asked what
the �ity was goiag to do with all the money. He aske3 whac the amount oi the
award had been for tne project. The City Engineer said that the actual construc-
'� tion costs had be�n less than estimated. The Finance Director said the total
cost of this imprevement was $125,96�.4i3. He reviewed the fi.r��l costs figures

:�1,SOO,C00. He said the County Conunissioners also have a grade separation they
have to consider on 7th Avenue in Anc?.a so they are lookina at u cost of
53,500,000 for r,�ade separations in c`;� r.e�t tnzee or Pour years. He said the
models will g;ve ci�e people a basic i:�-�, but tney are just a coneept and not
a finished detailed 3esign.
Mr. Steven�AsY.�w also stressed tnat this was a general concept and details had
not�been workau out, as they first wanted to get an idea whetiier the City pre-
ferred one over the other, or if they we.re willing to accept eitner design. He
said that, generally speaking, the right of way is about the same for either
plan and both would move traffic. He said the main difference would be the
aesthetic consideration. The County is not prepared to go into a detailed
explanation of what property would have to be used and where the right of
way would be located.
Mayor Liebl said the City was interested in a smooth flow of traffic on Missi-
ssippi Street from East River Road to University Avenue, and they are interested
in having this smooth flow with the least possible inconvenience to the abutting
property owners and with the least noise. He said it was important that tne
local aesthetic value was not destroyed.
' Mr. Askew explained that the cost of the underpass is higher becaus��, in effect,
you have to build twice - move the tracks and then move them back. :layor Liebl
asked if an overpass makes a shoofly unnecessary. Mr. Askew said that was
' correct. Mayor Liebl asked if it wosld be possible to raise the tracics if an
underpass was adopted. He asked about the Federal laws governing this. Mr.
Askew said that you can neither raise or lower the tracks. He added that the
' drainage problem would be part of the cost factor, but it can be designed tc
take care of it, and the tracks will stay where they are. b7ayor Liebl asked
about the clearance. Mr. Askew said he believed it would be the staa,:ard
measurement which is 18 feet.
'
'
,
�J
Councilman Breider asked how many homes would each plan affect. Mr. Askew said
he believed it would be the same basic number. On the layout presPnted there is no
appreciable differer.ce. Mayor Liebl said it was important to these people to
know where the right of way will be. Mr. Kordiak asiced if any of the peo�;le from
the Anoka office knew the answer to this question, but they did �ot. Mr. r,ordiak
said he�must apologize to the Council for not having all the homework don«��. He �
said he had exyected the County Engineer or Assistant Engineer to be yreser.t at �
the meeting but they were unable to attend. He said he would see tnat the �o:mty
would get this information to the Cou,-icil as soon as possible. Nir. Kor3iak �aid
that in his own opinion, if he were living in this area, he would p.efe; an
undercass in spite of the cost as it will be there a long, lony �ime. He �aid
they have been checkiny into sources of money lookir:g foz revenue and they are
sure they can do a first class job in Fridley and in Anoka. He said they would
work with each property owner to cause them the minimum amount of inconvenience.
The City Manager said that the Burlington Northern Railrcad Company nas�siy,ied
an agreement with the City of Fridley to bear the cost of the snouLiy. He
asked if the $2,D00,000 figure anticipated this contract, or was it an overall
cost. Mr. O'Bannon said that was the total figure. The City idanager said that
the figure for the underpass then would be somewhat less *_han $1,500,000 versus
$%s,OiiG,00G.

PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF AUGUST 14, 1972
Mr. O'Bannon said he also preferred an underpass
aesthetic value to the City.
PAGE 7
He felt it wo�ld have better
Mr. Alvin Ricks, 161 Sylvan Lane N.E., asked how it will be paid for. Mr.
' Kordiak said from the County Road and Bridge levy and by diverting funds from
other County projects, and they can sell $900,000 worth of bonds and pay them
back from the State Aid funds over a 10 year period. He said they would also
' hope to obtain some of the funds from the Federal Government and some from the
railroad.

Mr. Kordiak thanked the Council and the audience for their courtesy and said now
that they knew they were talking about an underpass, the County would work out the
details and the answers.
MOTION by Councilman Mittelstadt to close the public hearing on the Mississippi
Street railroad grade separation. Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the public hearing closed at 9:10 P.M.
PROPOSED FRIDLEY MUNICIPAL LI UOR STORE7•
7�- REPORT OF JOHN BERGSTEDT, CONSULTANT, ON INTERIOR LAYOUT OF `I'HE LIQUOR STORE:
The City Manager introduced Mr. John Bergstedt whom the Council had earlier
authorized hiring as the consultant to plan the interior layout of the Liquor
Store. Mr. Bergstedt handed out plans of the interior layout to the Council.
He said the plan is for a 50' X 100' building which is the anticipated size the
City would need for the size of their business. Mr. Bergstedt outlined the plan
for t'he Council showing the way the patterns of traf£ic would go, how it will
help cut down on labor costs and pilferage. He said it will have adequate ware-
house space and will have a large mass display area to put foraard the product
economically.
Councilman Utter drew attention to the back door which would allow access to
the case lot storage. He felt it should be closer to the office and asked if a
hallway would be the answer. Mr. Bergstedt said that if the truck drivers are to
put their own stock away, they would have to be able to get in. The City Manager
said they could go over this with the ar�hitects, as Mr. Patch had mentioned the
possibility of putting the mechanical equipment on the roof, which would supply
additional space in the mechanical room. There was a discussion regarding the
desirability of having a conveyer belt in the floor to help move the empties.
Mr. Bergstedt said the cases would still have to be handled anyway, and unless
it could be underground, it was not feasible to have a conveyer in a store tYiis
size. There was a discussion regarding where the entrance doors should be, and
it was pointed out the entrance would have double, double doors to keep from
losing heat in the winter.
Mr. BerSstedt said they would be using all the equipment possible from tne Shorewood
and Skywood Mall stores and he would estimate the cost of additional equipment
would be from $15,000 to $20,000.
Councilman Breider asked how soon could everything be ready to go. The City
Manager said it just depends on how £ast the Council makes the decision. If they
�:�':�nt to be in by .�ar.cary, 1973, it would be Nossit;le, but there would '�c a
premium to p�y on the contract, He sald i= would r�rebably be r:�ossible to continuc
our present leases on a montn to montn basis.

SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF AUGOST 1�1, 1972 PAGE 9
AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF ST. PAUL ON USE OF ST. PAUL
WATER EASEMENT FOR PARK pURPOSES BY THE CITY OF FRIDLEY•
The Acting City Attorney said he had looked over the agreement at the request
of the City Manager for legality.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to authorize the Administration to enter into the
' agreement with the City of St. Paul. Seconded by Councilman Mittelstadt. Upon
a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF A RE50LUTION SETTING THE CITY PRIMARY ELECTION FOR THE YEAR 1972:
Councilman Mittelstadt stated that since we have no primary election in Ward 1 or
in Ward 3, it would not be consistent to allow a primary in Ward 2. He said that
according to�the City Charter, if there are four candidates, the Council is �
required�to have a primary, but if there are three candidates, it is the Council's
discretion on whether a primary should be held of not.
MOTION by Councilman Mittelstadt that no primary election be held in the year
1972 in Ward 2. Seconded by Councilman Utter.
Mayor Liebl said he agreed with their judgment as this will help defray the
expenses of the three candidates, as it is very expensive to run a campaign £or
the primary and then again for the general election.
THE VOTE UPON THE MOTION, being a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the
motion carried unanimously.
The Finance Director asked the Council about passing a resolution on the question
of Sunday liquor sales. Councilman Breider asked whether the Council would want
this question on the primary or the general election. He suggested it be put on
the ballot at the general election as more voters turn out then. Mayor Liebl
agreed with this. Councilman Mittelstadt said the resolution, as read to him,
was confusing, as it mentions motels and hotels, and he thought it should just
state -- do yo� want Sunday liquor in Fridley? The Finance Director said he
believed the City Attorney was wording it the same as other municipalities have
worded it, and they are only wting on Sunday liquor for hotels or motels, so
there is a reason for the wording. The Elcting City Attorney said he had not
seen the proposed wording, but he would discuss it with the City Attorney and
bring it back to the City Council.

WNSIDERATION OF AGRREMENT 'I'O HIRE NIR. C.M. RALyI$ Ppg p.�,ZUS'i'ING OF INSURANCE
CLAIMS RESULTING FRON THE FIRE AT HOLLY CENTER LI�R STORE:
The City Manager said that since the City is very anxious to get the liquor store
back in operation, and there are a lot of procedures to go through witn the
insurance companies, we need someone to protect our interests. He said that
Mr. Rallis has had experience and is well qualified to do this. Mr. Rallis has
recently worked with an adjuster after the Shorewood Inn fire, and it is the
same adjuster that the City will be working with on this fire. The City Manager
said he would recommend employing Mr. Rallis at a fee of 5� of the settlement,
and he believed the Acting City Attorney agreed with him on this. Mr. Gibbs said
that the usual fee is 108 of the settlement. The Acting City Attorney said that
a.fter the tornado there were bad feelings and many headaches with insurance
problems. Mr. Rallis has just gone through this experience, and he understands
he did a tremendous job for Shorewood inn. He said Mr. xallis was a tough
negotiator, who did not offend anyone.
MOTION by Councilman Utter to approve the agreement to hire Mr. C.M. Rallis for
' adjusting insurance claims resulting from the Holly Center Liquor Store fire at
a fee of 5� of the settlement. Seconded by Councilman Mittelstadt. Upon a voice
vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
' REVIEW OP CODIFICATION OF CITY CODE•
The Acting City Attorney introduced Sue Torrey to the Council and said she had
' been working in their office as Law Clerk and working on the codification of
the City Code. She has met with each department head on their suggestions for
changes and improvements in the Code.
'
,
,
u
��
Mr. Gibbs said that first they would like some direction from the Council
on the�suggestions they have had for new ordinances. He said that the Health
Inspector has requested ordinances on a housing code for E'ridley, regulating
sauna baths, regulating private swimming pools and amendments to the food
ordinance. The Police Department would like ordinances on the carrying and
purchasing of firearms, regarding limiting the distance snowmobiles can travel
on City streets, and on improper starts from parked positior, which Mr. Gibbs
said he was not in favor of because they are hard to prove in caurt. The Fire
Department has suggested an ordinancc regarding use of guarddogs, and the City
Attorney suggests an ordinance licensing used car dealers.
The Council said they would like to see drafts ef these ordinances. The Acting
City Attorney said they would draw thcm u,. a�,d ;,ring �i�.�.:m l.ack to th�_ Council for
their consideration. Councilman Breider aaked about an urdiriance regarding litter
and distribution of pamphlets. He also wondered if you could regulate peddling
via telephone. Mr. Gibbs said there is a Green River Ordinance on peddlars ha
will bring back, but telephones were interstate commerce. Mr. Breider asked
about regulatinq carnivals and Mr. Gibbs said Yr� would check on it.
' The Actinq City Attorney said that his office has sugyested that the license
fees be set out in one ordinance rather than throughout the code. The Council
agreed. The Council, Acting City Attorney and Law Clerk went through all the
suqgested changes in each chapter as compiled by the Attorney's office. After
' discussing each one, the Council agreed with the suggest:i.ons of the Cit.y
p:.torney's office except that_(1).the etructure of the i�lanru.nq ro�;�yior, and

CONSIDERATION OF REPORT REGARDZNG DOUGLAS OSIECZANEK, 101 CROWN RDAD
The City Manager reported that Park Corstruction has been sweeping Main Street
a minimum of three times per week. He said as he recalled Mr. Osieczanek also
complained about the trucks speeding on Main Street. The Fridley Police Depart-
ment has written 16 citations to trucks hired by Park Construction Company and
the Minnesota Highway Department has issued 33 tickets for overload violations
which totalled 52,501 in fines.
When Mr. Osieczanek appeared before the Co,�n;il he aiso complained about the
sand blowir.g frort; Midiand Coop and wanted to know when they were going to biacktop
as they were supposed to� The property complained of is south of the existing
structure and is unpaved. The reason is was left unpaved is because they have
been considering expanding and they did not want to put it in only to have to
take it back out again. The City Manager said a letter has been written to the
Manager of Midland Coop as<ing ther� to keep the area oiled an;: also to provide
screening slats in their existing fence. He said he felt that Midland C000 has
been willing to do what they can do to help and added that he thought ,_he trucks

FILE 1861 RELATING TO A
The City Manager said that this resolution is relative to an amendment to the Fair
Labor Standards Act which would require municipalities which employ full time fire-
fighters tp pay them Lime and a half for all hours over 40 hours per week. This
would be very ccstly and would break the tradition for firefighters putting in in
excess or 4C hours in many places. Tt�ose excess hours are put in on duty, but
sleeping and not actually working. This amendment would cost the State of Minnescta
in excess of $6 miilion.
MOTION b�� Councilman Mittelstadt to adopt Resolution #104-1972 Seconded by
Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote, a11 ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the motion

' unbiased opinior.. .Any fig-�.:res quoted co�ild not be considered as Yirm aad
final offers. Anyone wishing to sFCe the appraisal is welcome to cume _❑ and
look at it. She City i�4anager continued �hat i� seemed to be more a marter of
' opposition to the.sidewalk rather than a cisagreement over the amount of the
compensation. Mayor Liebl asked if it was not customary to have two appraisal��.
The Acting City Attorney said yes in a concemnation there are two. In matters
such as these, sometimes the City hires one and the property owners another. in
' this case an independent fee appraiser was hired that had no interest in either
side of the matter.
' Mayor Liebl said that this all comes down to spending so much money to possibly
save the life of one child, and he for one, felt that it must be done. He said
it was his duty and obligation to do what he felt was right even though it riay
' step on someones' toes a little. He said he was very grateful to those people
on the north section of the sidewalk that were willing to give the right of
way needed�to the City of Fridley. This is not something that would be assessed,
but which every tax payer in the City would pay for. If a child gets killed
' walking on East River Road it will be a direct Council responsibility. }ie asked
how much it would cost to put in both the north and south sections, not counting
any condemnation. Tt:e: City Engineer said that $4,000 was budgetted, this does
' not coui�t acquisition costs, but covers construction and some fencing. Mayor
Liebl asked if the construction of the sidewalk cost $8,000, would that be a
waste of money't The City Enginaer said that was a Council decision. During the
first discussions when a roadway was propcsed, the people did not want that,
'but wanted a walkway, now they don't want a walkway either. In discussions with
, the School Board The Council has repeatedly approved this proposal an3 there have
been some commitments to the school, and he felt Fridley owed the school some
' sort of an answer. During the hearings many people were in favor of the walk-
saay .

wher� the judge x�led that the course the w�ter t$lces is a natural flowage and
' has existii�g many mdny years, His ruling was not �n F�idley's fdvor so the Gase
is being zqppealed to the Suprema Court, The proposal now is to install add?ti4nal

Mayor I,iebl said th�t many 1Qtters were sent out notifying people of this he�ring
�d that the proposals wQU1d range fTom b�tween $80�000 to $225,000. He asked

dn im�rovement for a 4udrter pf a million dollars when the $upreme Court case
1S stil� pending, He s�id �he Administration should seg�ch all other State &
Fe��pa� $$eneies fqr waya to qStain funds and a major system of this sort should
not be undertaken until �17 other avenues are explored. As to the Stonybrook
Creek problem, the City can help these peop�,e, there has already been $5,OOq
allqcated to try to �emedy the erosion, and he was sure additional funds could
be approved to save them from the spring run-off. He said he was not at this
time ready to propose a�} assessment until everything else has been tried for
those people in W�d Th�ee. (Applause) �
Cour�cilman B�eider Said tha� talking of 350 cfs potential at East River Road, and
w�th �75 coming �� �xom Spring Lake Park, how long under normal rates of develop-
ment until that 350 cfs is reached? The City Engi�eer said it is more a matter of
the duration the pipe runs full, with the increase in development, the duration
#h� pipe runs full would incxease. Councilman Breider asked if the shoring of
the bdnks were to continue: would that be enough to protect them in a normal
sprj�ng rw�-off? The City $ngiAeer said that the $225,000 project is needed,
�d the ].ess money that is spent the greater the risks. Rainfall is something
that cannot always be przdicted, there may be a 50 - 100 year rain and with that,
the whole thing would wash out. Under normal conditionseyes, it should be all
right,
Mr, �arl Bi�rntann, 793Q Alden Way, asked what was the cost of the open conduit?
' The Ci'ty Engineer replied $75a000. Mr. Biermann sdid he would agree with
Coti�cllmarl Mittelstadt, lets apply for Federal and State aid. He said, look at
Dulyth and qµestioned if we have to waj.t until everything is gone before we
, get he1p7 �layor Lieb1 asked if F�idley would be eligible. The City Manager
said yes# however, he muSt offer this cautionp the Fqderal Government works
thrpugh the Housj.ng a�d Urban Developm�nt offices and they place certain priori-
' ties on gxants. Currently, grants foz� sanitary sewer and water projects get a
higher priority than sto�m sewers, mainly because of the emphasis placed on
po].Zµtion control $n t}}e last few years. Councilman Mittelstadt commented that
their attitude may qhange because of all the flooding this year. The City
' Ma�iage� agreed and sdid that they qould only turn Fridley down if we were to
apply> so nothing would be lqst, If the possibility of losing some property
could be d�monstrated, it may add more emphasis,
�
'
Mr. F�ank Scheel, 11� Cra�.g Way N.E., asked where all the water was coming from.
Cou��ilman Bre�de� said t}�1s is a large area and includes the land east of East
Riv�r jtqad also. They hdve already been assessed, Dut would be included in this
diatFicti a�d everyone in the district would pay the same rate, minus any credits.
Councilm� Mit#elstadt asked Counailmari Bre�.der if the people in his ward that
' would be assessed wexe zq favor o� this�assessment? Councilman Breider said thdt
some qf his ward has had more tha� their share of txpubles. Elm and Beech Streets
have w$ahed out, dnd the maintQndnce people hava had to go out and dig the
, streats bdck out ,��ter avery rdin. This is water coming from Spring Lake Park.
Thera is still a diteh between Md�-n StFeet and University Avenue, and erosion is
just as bad in this ditch as in Stonybrook. He s�id he would have to agree
yith Cour�ciiman Mittelstad# and say "no" to this proposal. The people should
� Aot hav� to pay for Spr�.ng Lake Park's water processing problems, and he would
s�y ta �o }long yv}th the open ditch in that area for as long as possible,
although��it is almost a$ bad as in the creek area. As that area gets developed,
' he did nqt see how we could wait much longer. �s te the immediate problem with
S�pnybrook� he thpught the administration should be asked to complete the temporary

' Mr. F#�ed Anderson, 139 RiCkard Rd, N.E., said he did not feal that he should be
asSass�d because those people need help to protect their land. They chose to
live the�e and he was opposed to spending money to protect their aesthetic
' value. A xes$dent in the area said tha� he did not know about this trouble ten
years ago, thep it was just a nice �ittle creek,
, Mr, John Dunphy, 155 Sto�ybrock Way, said that when he bought his house about
10 ye�rs ago, he could jum� across the creek, now it is 15' across. The creek
used to be about 25' from his house, now it is about 12' - 15' from his house.
He questia�ed if flood insurar,ce would be an answer. The City Manager said that
� t11e Coynci� has set a publi� hearing in October to discuss flood insurance, The
matt�r of where the flood plain lines are drawn is determined by the Corps of
Engjneers. There is in�ormation on file at City Hall on this Federal progxam.
' It is a very complicated procedure to go through and there are difficult require-
ments to comply with to become eligible, that have been set out by the Federal
Goveinment. The public hearing is on1;� the first of many requirements.
Mr, Henrich Kent, 146 Craig Way N,E., asked who would derive the benefit and how
are the district lines determined? Mayor Liebl asked the City Engineer to display
the sto�m sewer district map �nd said that most districts are already assessed
in Fr�dley. The City �ngineen explained how the districts are derived and that
ultzmately everyone in the City of Fridley would have a storm sewer assessment,
and I�ayor Liebl explained the assessment procedure and the policy used by the
COUncil since 1961, The City Manager said that in this case 64% of the drainage
eomes from another munici.�ality. Si�qe 1966 Spring Lake Park has been saying
this is Fridley's problem.
M�s. Ma� Martin, 133 Stonybrook Way, asked if all these districts were set up
ir� 1961? Mayor Liebl said they were established as the improvemepts were made in
dlff�rent years based on the topography. The City Engineer explained that some-
times there are subdistricts that function until the overall district goes in,
#hen �t becomes part of the larger district. In those cases the people that
have been assesse� in the subdistrict do not get as large an assessment for the
whole distnict since tl�gy have already paid some, and their credit is based
exactly on hpw much they have a�.ready paid. Mrs. Martin said that as the
indyStFial area develop�p in three years if Fridley fails in the Supreme Court,
these peqple will be back here for the same storm sewer hearing. Mayor Liebl told
her that is entirely pqssible.
M�^, Gary £oote� 7627 E�st River Road, said that he just moved into his house in
' Oetober� now he sees that many people on East River Road are trying to sell theix
homes. He questioned if the assessment could be the reason and said that he was
opposed to the assessment because he would receive no benefit.
, Mr. LeRoy Anderson, 7581 Alden Way, said that since their own system was put in,
they have not been contr�buting anymore, There iS now a water problem on Rickard
Roac� aad East River Road. The City Engineer s�id that the County has overlaid
, East River Road and raised the level, and as Rickard Road drained onto East
River Rodd, now water ponds �t that intersection.
' Mr. Lepnax¢ Samuelson, 7800 East River koad, said that he felt he should say
sor:�ething on behalf on the citizens in Craigway. He said he was instrumental
-n deVeloping Cxaigway Estates and the sewer, water and sto�m sewer was approved

OF APPROYAL OF
COST PARTICIPATION WITH ANOKA COUNTY
OF EAST RIVER i�JA.D r MISSIS�IPPI
MOTTON py Couricilman Mittelstadt to approve the agreement as found on Pages #3A
thxough #3D. Seconded by Councilman Breider for discussion.
Cou�cilman Breider asked in �tumber 5, does this mean that Fridley is to pay
afteg the estimate is received pr after the work is completed? The City Engineex
x'eplied that this agreemen# j.s the normal language used. The share the City will
pay is a very Sm�Z� part qf the total project. Fridley will pay a little over
$12�000 on a$200,000 pipject� and less than $8,000 is for the extension of watex
and sewex lipes. Councilman Breider also questioned the wording in Item #6, it
Ssems Fridley does qot have a,nything to say about it. The City Engineer said that
so fa� the wqrk is with estimate Costs and when the contract is let the costs w�ll
�opefully be lower. Fridley's gha�e is less than 6$ of the project and he felt the
C�ty did very well. Fxldley ;s �esponsible for putting in the utilities so that
�3{�t $iver Road will not havp to be torn up later. Councilman Breider said that
eysrywhere else the County npeds the City'S concurrance except in this item.
The Cj,ty Eng�neer s�id thdt t�e has also received a letter from Anoka County's
Cor��u].ting Engineexs and passed out copies to the Council. He added that the

FINANCIPlG PLA?t -- STDNY3ROCK IMPI�pVEA1ENT
SEPTEMBER 7� i972
, Two types of improvem�nts are un2er consider�tion for the Stonybrook area
at this time, They are temporary bank stabitization and adding a cutvert
under A1den +day. Tt is esiimated the stabitization w;1T cost $22,000,00,
, and p�acing an additionat culvert af�ove the existing cuSvert an Atden 1Jay
will cost an estimated $i5,00e.OD.
, The City Council has considered using emergency reserve money from the
City General Fund to pay th� cost of thF ban�: stabitization. At the
present tim� the em�rgency raserve accour,t ha� a balance of $3�F,173.Q0.
If the $22,000.00 cost for har�k stabilizat9on is taken from this account�
' the balance wili be $12,�73.00. Tl��is would run the emergency reserve
account dangerousiy iow, considering there coutd be sare other type of _
unforeseen emergency before the end of the year such as abnormally high
' snowfalt in D,ecember, floodino in other areas of the City, er some other
type of a sp�ciai problem, Another factor is the overall condition of
finances in the City�s Generat Fund. It is oin *_
cult to balance revenues with expenditures for the year T973ewithithe�new
, tevy limitations. Using money from the emergency reserve account further
complicates the problem.
,
'
'
,
'
There is also another factor to be considered in charging tiie cost of the
bank sta�ilization to the City�s General Fund. Tnis is the fact that there
are other creeks in the City ��hich have simitar erosion prebleas. Or,e of
these creeks is ,1en Creek. 4esidents along this creek have complained that
their creek is washing out much the same as Ston�broak Creek,
$44,000>00 was provided in Proj�cts Nos, 101 and i02 for downstream improve-
ment work. The City could charge the $22�pu^0,00 for temporary bank ir,�prove-
ments and the estimated j15,p00.00 for cuivzrt costs to tl;ese �;roject;9 �ric.
the money v✓ould be repaid by a;sess�;,;:ntso The matter of i-;he?:har or not the
people living on Stonybrook ;,ree� or any of the surroundinr, z:r_�a snouid be
assessed for part of these improveme�ts would not have to b� _�ternined at
this time, but a determina:ion o:ouid have to 6e mad� on this �:;;t;er within
six months of the assess7ent hearing held on Auyusx 23, �972,
The City Engineer recemriends that the work on th;± culver+� not be done at
this time� but that tFe money be r.r;c.umb�red as a �art of th� cost OP thP.

Page 2--Memorandum to Gerald R. �avis, City Aianager
September 7� 1972
It is my recommendation� and I believe the recommendation of the City
Engineer� that because of the problems mentioned above with creeks in
other sections of the City that need attention, and the fact that the
bank work should be part of the icnprovement nroject, that the money for
the bank improvement be taken out of the improvement project, It is also
our recommendation that within six months from the date of the assessment
hearing held on August 28, ig?2, a determination should be made by the City
Council as to whether a11 or part of the people on the west side of the
East River Road should be includ_d in the asses;ment district and charged
for part of tFie cost of the improvemsnt proiect.

N.S,P,suggests you k�ep the sign at least fivc fee.t in from the east prnperty Line.

last meeLing. Hc said this sig�i has abuut the sa,-m�. candlr powcr oi the pr�sent
sign. He said you would need a light meter to determine whict: is gre.���r,
Mr. Crowder stated, in essence, he had stated at the last meeting that Fridley
could be served just as eaeily with a two sided sign� on one pole, and without
a variance. He realized they wanted the four sided sign to draW the public
off from 73rd Avenue but he felt they should explore the possibility of locating
a aecond sig�� on 73rd Avenue, which they are entitled to. 1Wo pylons that meet
the Code would serve the same purpose as one four sici��d sign.
Mr. Crowder said Chat on the plan the height ol the existin,� sign is noted as
20 feet.
Mr. Reese said he thought the height was 25 feet.
Mr. Belisie said they could be using the centerlinc of the roadway tor the
height measurement, which is two or three fe�t higher than th� grade at the
bdse of thc sign.
Mr. Harju stated the area variance doesn't bother him as much as thc !ocation
near the pYOperty line. He said he would prefer to see the sign se[ back
ten feak. He would be in favor of granting the height and size v3ridnces if
Che sign would be moved back.
Chairiqan Minish asked if Champlin adheres to the rode on this sign, can they
still put up a pylon on 73rd Avenue,
�. aelislc said they are allowed a 40 square foot sign on 73rd Avepue. They
aie also alloved a wa11 eign.
Mr. Reese stated Chey have no plans to nut a second pylon up on 73rd Avenue
because thc� would have to put it in the station driveway. The green area
isn'k widc enough to put a legal sign on it and they would hate to ruin the
laridscaping. He added they do nut allow any banners or price signs W be
added onto thi-s sign.

the sign arca to 196 squdre feeC anN tlic sign_height to i0 feet with the
understauding that the eign be placed 12 feet from the north property lin� aud

Chaizman Minish cscplained this item had been tabled to get an interpr�ta[ion from
the City Attorn�y on uccessory buildings in M-1 Zoning and also to get a letter
from the pTOperty ownez tq L-he South on his opinion of the variance.
Mr. Harris was present to present the request.
Chairman Minish read the LetteT from the City Attornev concerniug accessory
biiildings. He also read the letter from the attorney of the property owner to
the south which stated they objected to the variance.
Mr, Belisle stated thera is � 6 foot sewer easement along the back property line
so the variance if g=yrited could not be reduced any further than 6 feet.
MOTION by Harju, seconded by Crowder, to receive the letters from the City Attorney
and Mr. Nyquist, attorney for Fo=tune Investments, Inc. L'pon a ooice vote, there
being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.
Chairman Minish asked Mr. Belisle what the City staff felt abou: this variance.
Mz'. Belisle answered that the City staff felt this building should havc the
same setbacka as a main building because of its size and use.
MZ. Harxis said to add thiit building onto the existing building would make it
' juqt ahout impossible to tust� the trucks siound ir. thc yard and he does not want
to move it out to 6 feet becauae there would be vascect space between the building
and the lot line.
,
'
MOTION by Nazju to close the public hearing.
SBCOnded by C�pwder, Upon a voice vote, the�e being no nays, the motion carried
unanimous2y.
..
Chairman MiAish explained to Mx. Haxris that since thc City staff feels this
' building should meet the setbacks of a main building, a�d because the property
ownas to the aouth is set sgainat the variance, and because there ia no Feal
hardahip as the building cpuld be added onto cVie back of side of the main building,
he felt the Board might act to deny the requc;st. He intonned Mr. Harris that if this
' 9enial was cpncurred with by the Co�incil, he cuuLd not bring u variance on this
building back before the Board for 6 months. Hr addeu that i[ Mr, Harris would iike
to eiithdraw this request� he might be able to come up witt: a better location that
, would be more,4g=eeable to all parkies� and if it happened to need a variance, he
wouldn't have to wait the 6 months,
' Mr. Harris agreed and withdrew his request.

Mr. Collins wd; pn:acnt to pzesant thc requesr. A survc} of ihc pr�perty and a
sketch of the I�uuse on the lot were pres.:n[ed _o the Board.
?fi. Collins stated thc. Planning CommisSion had approved thp lot spli[ on L.�t 1 on
August 9� 1972. Thc resulC of the lot split was this 80 loot by 10O lool lui. i1.'.

exit anto Abl� StTaet. The other setback requirements have. been met. There is no
otheT wey to posiC's�n the house on the iot.
Mx. Crocader stated the Plats and Subs. Subcommittee and th� Ylanning Commissio��,
1n essence� ci'�ated a substandaid lot by approving the 1•�t split.
Mr. Belisle said that the Code states where lot splits are permit�edy thc lut does
not liave ty have the. minimum lot area.
Mr. Co111nS added there will b� 30 feet between khe back .�[ his housu and thc side
of the adjoining houae.

Mr. Harju ataCed the Tequest seems rensunable since kt�e lot was split. He falt a

Mr. Crowd�r asked if theTe would be any do�rs opening ouc the l�ach. .•t the addition.
MT. Nickow said Chey� pian to F[ave two doors aoing out U;�� 6ack Lor firc exit
purposes. They would leave the existing .�utside wall there, but [hey would put
ici double doors.
Mr. SmiCh asked how many employees they wull have.
tqX. Nicklow answered they will be open from 11:00 A.M, to 1:00 P.M. and iiave two
shif[s of employees with about 10 co 15 people on each shift. They won'c know
axac[ly huw many employees they wiLi need until. they open up For business.
Mr. Smith said he questions the variance on the number of seating spaces a�_� the
number of parking spaces. The variancc requesc statz�s 341 se�ting spaces.
Mr. Nicklow sziid they don't have that many seating spaces. The p1an� showed
'149 fca the presen[ building and 92 spaces for the• addition i,i.c the.; won't be
having tha[ many. He figuTed there were 80 spaces in the bar, 75 spaces in the
additi�n and !20 spaces in the resta�rant making a total of approxi;n:itely 275
instead of 341.
pfr• Smith aaid that if these figures are correct, then there are pr�bably enouKh
parking spaces. He added Chat the variance for the rear yard was �oted as from
2S feflt ko 7 feet in the publ1c hearing notice bu[ Mr. Nicklow has stated 5 feet
He wondered which measurem6nt was correct.
MX. Belisle stated the 7 feet was taken off from the plot plan that was submitced
tv the City.
Mr. 3aliterman a�yced if this addition would conflict in any way with the State
lqws concerning building set6ack fxom the lake shore. fle said he tliought the
minimum setbbck was 80 feet.
Mr. BBliele answered he had no k�owledge vf auch a law but he would check with
the State on it.
Mt. Sa11[arman said Chey axe not fighting Mz. Nicklow on his success, in fact,
they, wish him a 1ot�of succe8s� but they don't want hi� �uccess t.� Gpill :�vur onto

' Mr. Smith said Mr. Saliterman�s ahopping center is onlv about �ne-quarter finished
and in thc case when SeaYS built Cheir building they were re�r��sible for living
up to the Codas and the others can tou. Sears does h.ive a right to use the
property to the Eas� of Shorewood.
Mr. SlniXh made references [o New York cases where a person can not get a variance
where the hdrdship ia created by the owner or his pzedecessor $ecause of the
fact tha� when Mr. Nicklow purchased this property, the. detail� such as the size
of the bullding and the amount �f land were all made very clear, he in making the
purckiase knew whaC thc problems were at this tocacion.
Mr. Smith s$id Chat another rule that s,;ems to be quite genuine in that it isn't
suffiaient when i't`is seid th� variance would make it econumically better or
finaneially better. To make money a hardship� yoei would first have to prov� that
you w4uld go broke if you didq't get the variance.
Mx. Smith stated the applicants req�iest for variances on parkir:-� and 1�: a7teratlon
of set-back reqnir4ments shoµld be deniud. The parkiiig requiremencs in City Cude
Section 45.104 that aTe deemed applicahle to the applicants require une parking
space for each four asats� or similar accomodation in a restaurant, theater, chusch,
at�. The Code does not apecitically datail pqrking apace for.a supper club. At
thc tlme the code was drawn, Che sp11t liquor bill had not been passed and there
were no suppar cluba 1n Fsidley. The paskin� ratio oi one to four seats in a ,
restauraat ia mora lihei8l Chan the requirements in other suburbxn comuunities
ChYt have had supper clubs fur a long period of time. 'fhc. parking reyuirements
fos xetail stores and other ca�emxcial enterprises are more restrictive.
Mr• Sm1th said the adjacent property is valuable property. Mr. Saliterman �
' pays about $6.0�000 a ye8i in tAxeS If the BoaTd grants a modi£ica[ion here,
isn�t tMe -Bbsrd setting a precedent that is unnecessary. Mr. NicJcicn., can adjust
his addition to be respectful for what our Code calls for.

Upon a voice voce, there being no nays� Che motion carriad unanicqously.�
Chairn�an Minish saLd that theTa seems to be some disagreement about thc actual
nu�ber of aeating apaces and Ch6 existing parking spaces.
Mi. Nicklow said some of the pasking spaces tha[ axe included in the 7i and what

MT. Smith said he felt Chd parking apaca� needed should be figured for the
ma�cimum capacity of the building. He fcl[ it wasn't fair to add on an addition
and Chen ask for A reductlpn in parking spgces when there do��n't seem to be
enough spaces noq, Ke 81so fdlt that the variance would have some effect on
Khs land to the eaSt of ShoTewood, even though it is now undeveloped. Any
Cncxoachment on thi� land woµld be a blight. He asked why allow addikional
encroachment if it lan't an undue hardship.
Ch8lxman Minish said that aince Mr. Nlcklow is not in tm much of a hurry about
this matter dnd since we are unsuxe of what exists as far as parking Spaces �nd
seating apaces are concsined� he would be in favor of tabling the item until
the Sgptqnber 12� 197Q taelting to allow exact figures to be obtained.
Mi. Crowdes stated he was also con�used about the variances. He would be in
Eavor of t8bling ae toayhe � parking space variance is not needed.

The total estimate �or completion of the irrigation system is $8,0�0.00,
b4j about half o£ that is for work around the filtration plant, which is
under the jurisdiction of the Public Works'Department. Therefore, our

AUGUST 2 1972
All CATV advisory committee members were present at the meeting
�£ �'.uqust 2, 1972. Scheduled speakers present were Mr, Gerald
Davis, City Manager, and Ms, g, Lee Schreiner. Farher Ed began
the questioning.
Having read some preparatory work, i have the opinion that you
are recommencing a delay 1n the passing of the ordinance. �,o
you still feel this is advisable? Mr, Davis answered, I don't
think i actually made a formal recommendation that the coun-
cil delay consideration hecause it seems that they want to keep
moving. The only other experience I've had in adopting a CATV
ordinance in another community indicated there was no necessity
in delaying it. 2*he only time I suqgest they take more time
was when we were to receive �ranchise proposals, and there
Were some inquiries of comp�,nies who had not submitted pro_
posala but were interested in doing so, I reco�nd that we
extend the time t,]zat we.receive proposals so that we get better
bidd�ng action, They did not �o this because having published
that they were to =eceive proposals on a certain date, �ey
had to live up to their word.
Father 8d then asked if Bloomington's problems are sim.ilar to
°�'3• �'. Davis answered, Bloomington approached it differently
than Fridley did. Sloomfngton went the more conventional route
o£ dQValoping a master ordinance and then receiving proposals
on this basis. Fridley did it the opposite way, I don't know
which 3s better. Mr, Davia then said that he is a member of
a�TV aommitt�e of the metro se�tion of the league, We are
trying to develop a procedure for cities to qo through in lic-
ensing and franchising of the cable. 2 work on a technical
sub-committee and oux sub-comm�ttee report tries to answer
queations of a technical nature,
Father Ed asked, what advice can you give our committee, how
�� our ordinance be improved? Mr, Davis answered, well I guess
there is a substantial feeling of not knoN•inq what cable tele-
vision is all about. ;f we could do it over again, we should
roaommend a great deal of copucninity discussion of the cable. I
don't blame the �o��il entirely for this-its a two way deal
for discussion. I personally went to every invitation z've
received to speak at various groups of people, We found out
there was alo� more it�taresL anci controversary than anticipated,
The Oouncil felt they were well infprm�d� knavledgeable, the
mayor had stated that he k�Jad spenk hundreds of hours studying
mate;i$ls sent out. I gursas they felt they were elected repre-
senta�ives and I guess they� felt they were protecting the

interests of the city,

Father Ed then asked, do you think its wise to move an area
like this before a community that d�es not know what its all
aboutY Mr, Davis answered, the only cb mplaining people in the
last community I was in, was the antenna dealers, and that was
because they were being put out of business, and that was a
town of seventy thousand. So I wouldn't make any generalizations
about communities. Every community I have associated with has
had a completely dif£erent reactiono Four or five years ago
calale television was not at the stage it is today i.n potential.
On the ordinance you ask what improvements could be made.
Speaking as an author maybe 2 can't give you an honest appraisal.
We tried to survey the field and put together the tightest ordin-
ance that we could without making it so restrictive and requirinq
so mucla that we felt the companies would tiot accept it. D7e did
not give a great deal of consideration to municipal owxiership
of cable television. The council never indicated any interest
in that possibility, In ��proving the ordinan�e� I suppose that
there could be improvements, I am not completely clear on the
criticisms made. They say interconnection won't won't work. _
don't know where interconnection has been tried, we are willing
to give it a shot. �hey say you haven't got a plan for every
last datail. It was my hope that this has to be something worked
out and it is very unadvisable to layout in a ordinnnce, I would
hope that the advisory committee could work with the company,
schools, community, etc, in develop�q proqraming plans, and
advising the council. This procedure has worked in St. Cloud.
Accordinq to the station manager of the company in St. Cloud,
they have a good working relationship with the committee ito ad-
vise them on programinq.
Father Ed said that some say the advisory committee is pawerless
and that „re are the weakest part of the ordinance. Mr, Davis said,
I would hardly say, from working with the compan},r, that the city
is powerless. The company realizes that alot depends on a good
working relationship with the city. They are looking not only at
the first fifteen years, they �yant a continuing relationship.We
also have the pawer. of amendment on the ordinance. Any ordinance
can be dmended at anytime, The company should he a progressive
company and meet the needs of the community, We have to have a
persuasive working relationship. This company and all three
compdnies were well qualiPied.in the area; choosing the company
was the toughest deciaion made by the council.

Barbara Hughes asked, do you consider the am,endment prxe:,s in
the ordinance of importance, �� it be done, or is there conflict
in the charter? Mr, Davis answerea, I think the ordinance could
be amended, The fact �hat it is a franchise makes it alittle
different process in that you have to have a public hearing,
theres a time sequence, not like the charter. Barbara Hughes
then said, the comment has been made that we couldn't amend the
city ordinance because of provisions in the ordinanre, i�lr, Davis
replied, I would have to refer to the city attorney, It is my
understanding that unless it violatea some provisions of the
agreement in ordinance, then it is sine. But it would als�
depend on the area, I don't thinlc you could amend the fran-
chise length to ten years, not yet, �at if company agrees?
Yes, then it is fine.
Father 8d said, the ordinance is not very amendable. Mr, Davis
said, I don't know what areas your talking about amending, At
this point there could be some small changes in the ordinance,
but I t7�ink we have one oP the tougher ordinances developed at
this time. There may be better, now that 6 months to a year�has
gone by,
Father Ed said, th� ordinance doesn't look too much on develop-
ing a cable T,V, syatem. It doesn't encourage the fact that the
city and the company are able to act upon one another in a very
positive way to develope a very good system. Theres no way in
which programing can be assured that the city has some kind of
pvwer in the area of the programing unit of cable develop[nent.
Theres no money toward producing p=oyrams, l•tr, Davis said, p,re
you suggesting that the city or some organiaation would want to
get into production stage with us? My concept is i feel the
people in St. Cloud have a greater amount of ]anawledge as far
ag Production capabilities of programing, we could have �his
committee serve as a general community committee working with
the company to figure out how production can be accomplished.
The company will provide equip�ntent, tyme on the air, use of
their £acilities, to accomplish ihat, Schools can go on pro-
duction stage-that is up to them,
Father Ed said, the problem is that everyone will have to agree-
Even churches, p+ir, Davis said, we don't know at this point who
is interested. We can't say you shall have eight hours of church
Pro4raming, £our 13ours of school programinq_this type of thing,
It has to develope, At St, Cloud, the college wasn't interested
in this type of thinq� the local school district decided they
wanted local proqraming on a very ��11 �pdget, they were invol-
✓�d. I feel there are more hours and more channels than anyone

' Tom Myhra said, programi,nq funds are going to be a problera.
A 15 minute program costs $500,00. Mr, Dav1s aaid, where is
, money going to cpme from. The company wouldn't want to give
money to a programing fund, thep will get out,
Tom Myt�a said, someone called the advisory corami,ttee a motiv-
ating force. Was that thought qiven at the time the advisory
committee was put together. Mr, Davis said that there was no
discussion on the function of the advisory committee, z think
°ne ��9 Yo❑ should do is to discuss what this co�nyttee
should do, Chicago has a requlatory body and the city council
s$YS this is the body that regulates Cable Television. This
would take a load off the city manaqe��s office because the
city tnanaqer is bound with thQ responsibility of enforcing all
ordinances. Tom asked, does the city ordinance provide for the
advisory comnittee to be self act�ng? Mr, Davis answered, it
provides for a regulatory body that �,,ould be indeperu3ent of the
city council. I don't know i� the Qou�cil could delegate that
tYPe of authority under terms of the chartar. I don't know of
anyone with independent administrative pawer, Bark�ara said, in
terms of the federal charter, those areas where the power is
riot in the council is under 3tate law or some other change in
charter,
Father Ed said, I have a letter from Getteral Television that
says thare will have to be changes itt the ordinance just to
maet FCC regulations. This committee should be working on th�s,
Mz'. Caldwell wanted to know when Mr, Davis started working here.
Mt'. Davis ansr�ered, ,7une 15, 1971. Mr, Caldwell then asked,
would you know who m�de the first inEormal contact and with whom
in the spring of 1971, Mr, Davis answered, about a few days
before Z arrived on ,7une 7th, the city council authorized the
solicitation of proposals for a franchise and set 11:30 A.M.
July 19,1971 as the date to receive proposals, so the wheels
were in motion before I arrived on the job, The first thing
I klaew was on that �Ltly 19th we were receiving P=oPosals, and
then that was when I made the reco�nendation that we extend the
receipt time so get alittle more action, although I think all
three �,nterested companies were responsible.
Haines asked, fro� Yo�. ���,ience, how lorbg was tiie cable in
California? Was it four 9z �ive years? �, Davis ans�aered� we
had been in the"process that long, but we had delayed awarding
of franchise due to a supreme cot�rt hear�g on this. When I
left, they were just becomirtq ope�ated. Haines then asked,

what was the primary use of the cable? Mr, Davis answered, I
would say primary use of the cable was to be er.panded programing.
Haines asked, was thg franchise tighter or looser than this one?
Davis said it was looser, Haines asked, has the company respon-
ded to the needs? Are you aware of this7 I can imagine a com-
pany coming in here and not developing all the programs they
could and not responding to the needs we've been hearing about
in ozder to sell their product, Mt, Davis said I have same
feqling, These people are business men and operate on subscriber
j signup. I wonder haw their going to do it. Four channels are
all I aan stand nav, Why should I pay $5.50 a month to find out
the weather, They have to offer something better than that.
Tom Myhra asked, do you think people will watch £or a speci£ic
Purpose--no ona at our house hardly ever has a specific p�pose.
Mr. Davis said, don't you on occasion become aware of a certain
event? I would hope proqraminq to be so exciting that peop�e
would want to watch certain things, In production, Z expected
the local origination station to be very amature but I was s�-
prised when I went to St. Cloud and sava a newscast that I thought
was superior. This qi�es � hope that somethinq can be done.
Dean Caldwell asked,�, Davis, in the area of additional services,
and within the city administration, have you found asiy feelinqs
about the type of additional services, or the extettt of them to
be offered by a cable company, Davis said, do you mean city ser-
vicee or are you speaking o£ the area of such security services
as fire protection, these types ot things, I think this is an
area when it becomea an economic typp of thiny both on part of
�� S�scs'iber and the company, I think that after five years
go by and we have the right to examine their books and kncxv what
their profit structµre is, if we see that this company is making
an unbelieveable killing, then we would recomaiend to the council
that we get more servicea out of them, These are my own peelings,
Dean then asked, if there are to be additional sarvices p,�ovided
bY the cable eompany, I�m wondering who }� s�e reSpor,sib111ty
°f seeing that those services that are possible are occurinq,
Mz'. Dav�.s answered, = felt all along in development of the ordin-
ance that there was need for a technical consultant that under-
stands what the realities of equipment possibilities are, We've
gone all the way without use of a consultant. We should consider
hiring one on a as needed basis to see what developments there
a�e and see now they could be added to the system, You can have
all kinds pf s@rvices �,� yoy want to pay the freight. But I
don't think the company should have to pay freignt if they are
basii�g their fee s£ructUre on one set of services. Cable Tele-
vision ranges £rom 3.00 a month to 20,00 a month which shaws
their variation of services.

Dean sa3d, doesn't that make you think that the council didn't
give much consideration to the additional services that could
be provided? Mr, Davis said, I thitilc the aouncils attitude was
should we wait until we get a jet or should we try a Wilbur
Wright model and go into this thi.ng, qet involved and work with
the company to bring along services as they become developed
ana their need arises, I believe in the ability of the corpor_
ation to meet the need and we've got a need you wouldn't believe,
Tom Myhra said, haw do you bring people to pay the price? What
can ve build into the ordinance that will outstretch the imaqin_
ation, More than likely, Joe Blow isn't goinq to miss the fire
protection system until he has it, and he won't want it until
someone starts talking about the possibilities. I�. pavis replied,
isn't this the job of the company as 1Qnq as the city has decided
to go the private route; is it the cities responsibility to say:
��HeY you should have the cable, its goinq to be super?" We are
providing the franchise or vechile for them to operate, ga,,,
they operate we're interested in, but whether they go out and
have all these services, I guess its thea,r choice. I hope you
5o to Jonathan, Z haven't been there yet, but I understand their
doing some encperiments of these services.
� Barbara Hughes asked, what role does the city have to play or '
��eY P1aY to encourage the compt�ny to preform those things
they don't have to because their're in no competition. Do you
, consider this a problem, or isn't it a problem? �, Davis'said,
2 don't have the vision to know what will be a problem, Z feel
that the ordinance contains the highest r
� could come up with at the t ���nta that we
perform, we have the � on a company, Zf they fail to
of 15 years their fr p�er to terminate the�. =f at the end
anchise isn t renewed� they have no alter-
, native but to c1Qar out.
Tom said, lets forget about the company and talk about public
go�• t�. Davis said, if I could get away with requiring every
home to have a fire alarm system I'd push it. But that would
ultimately depend on whether or not the council would accept a
politieal decision like that, We can't even get sprinklinq
syatems in� but we keep pressing,
Dean asked, do you feel tlse ordinance dces permit regulation
of additional services? Mr, Davis atiswered, they have in the
�"!$Y bY Whir,,� th�y can charqa no greater thaa 5.50 a month,
Dean said, what about add�tional seryices? Mr, Davis said then
it wou�.d have to be negotia��d b�tween the city and the company.
If they were to provide an additional service, then they would
have to come in for a rate chan3e• The city has firm controls
on the rates.

Dean asked if they could offer a service at any rata. Davis said
yea, they talked about offering a internal secuz.ity system for a
private company� havevex. we a�.e not interested in the rates they
settle on, We are interested in the total subscriber rates.for
the system.
Barbara asked, do you think paid T.V, is prohibited by the or-
dj.nance?. Davis answp.red, Yes. I do. Barbara wanted to know
what was his understandinq of paid television is. 1�, Davis
said, = u�derstand paid television as an additional charqe for
a program on a program by praqram basis, Barbara wanted to know
if it was possib],e to have the city order an advisory ballet
on cable television at primary elections this fall, i�Uc, Davis
said unless there is a law, of the contrary, its � opinion poll
and its fine,
Saz'bax'a Huqhes then asked, what effect do you see to ordering
a ref�'�a� on the ordinance? i�, Davis said, I'd like to
see a referendum elear t�a y�. �d have a great deal,qf discus-
sion in the co�nity� I th�k we have a good ordinance and
if th�y want us to write over again, I don't ttare, perhaps it
could be improved. Another area I thought was intarestinq in
Your minutes was why don't we have an area wide cable television.
I don't think right now that they would be interested in go�q
into a sparssly populated commualty, Sa as far as combining
�ommunities, I think you have to restrict it to core built up
areas.

really concerned with because 2 can't conceive a cabie really
satisfying my needs as I would like to see them, if it c�,e�.e

I would like to see our city council make a real definite
effort of inviting other city councils in the area to meet with
them and try to set up mables at the sa� place, I had something
prepared to shaw you but I lost it. 1� idea is - why couldn't
we interconnect throughout the metropalitian area and have a

this is really worthwhile, we're going to use this for the child-
ren at home, etc, Now the subscriber� even if he doesn't like
anything else about Cable televis�on, must buy it. Mary said,
especially is he has a child who is long term home bound student
who might participate in classroom activities because of cable.
He would certainly £eel pressured,
Baxbara Hughes then asked, what is your philosophy? l�ary S.
a�"'�'ea. I feel nothing can replace the one to one basis that
a$tudent would be gettinq on a home bound basis if he or she
has to be contained at home for handicapped reasons for a short
term. A teacher being with him ��tainly is important but the
student is missing t�e classmates he would have seen and the
classroom activit�s, I would hope the cable would never replace
the clasaroom--mo8t pa�.ents would vote against the cable.
Dean Ca1cfi„ell asked, as a private citizen, what do you Eind yo�
friends and neighbors to think of cable television?

John Haines and Barba,ra Hughes were absent from the meeting af

a� U1�'. Tom Collins. Committee memb� s present were Father Ed,
Tom �yhra, and 19ean Caldwell. other Membera present were 1�. Dan
Fish, and Mr, �7erry orton,
Father Ed began },he queationitiq of i�. J� Gibbs. Ho�w amemdable

ticipation should the compc�r �pect rightfully in any kind of

��a anwndable in any section or subdivision as the council sees
fit. It is amend,�bl• uader our et��.t� by a four maa vote, as
ie 1n any charter. Father 8d asked if it was repealable in any
WaY• Gibbs said the council again by a Eour fifths vote can
repeal the ordinance.
Gener�l Television has 25 thousand dollars. Suppose there was
a sizeable amount waeted now and we ate all put in a place where
we can't do busineas, we are going � lose. Can they regain loss7
Tom asked this, Gibbs an�eT�� � you $�y 3n the ordinance.
those funds are used now by the city for attorney's fees to defray
the eqat of a lawauit, for ariy additional expenses that the city
18 xcuring as a result of ordinances, I�m s�e we'd have to
give back balance. Caldwell asked if we would have to give back
'the total original 25 t]iousand dollara. Gibbs said no, that's
our position, the city attorney, their attorney may take a dif-
ferent position. I thin]c we ought to clear in our mi,nds, and
the ordinance with their attorney at that time that this ti,ould
tajce care of secretarial help on lawsuita or that sort of thing,
Father Ed asked what would be the effect of a referendum, Gibbs

is it bound to follav the results of the referendum? Gibbs said
�j,oso�.utQly. If the district court were to find that the petitions
were valid, then the cotuicil again ha. to vote to reaffirm the

Gibbs answerecl the c� S�rict courts are very reluCtant to get into
legislative affir$, Thats probably the area of law wheace the
distx�ict courts say theres judicial,legislative, and axecutive;
please don't ask us to sit in the council in the city of Fridley.
Dean Caldwell asked Gibbs iE there is a performance bond require-
meiit in the ordinance, he didn't recall finding one. I don't
�tiink there is, Gibbs answered, but there is a 50 thousand dollar
�ash security bond or surety bond--section 7.
Father 8d asked if Gibbs had read some of the criticisms that
were made of the franchise from its legal strength effect, gm,,,
do you feel about the oxdinance? Gibbs said that its the most
comprehensive ordinance we have in the city at thie time, we
could a;dd to any�l'��,n9 You watited. Thexe is no ordinana� in the
City oE Fridley that ia this lenqth. I think ita terri.blg res-
trictive. I take t,he po$ition that this ia a monoply in the real
a.ns�-of the word. Father 8d said, what are we letting ourselves
in for. Gibbs said thares ao queation that this thing scra�.ches
the aurface. I can se� CATV really being used for a mother
ordering gro�er},8� ��.es all kinds of potential. Thats'why
foqr major stations ate not too enthuaed about it.
On� of the severe criticiam8 made that we hear about is, is there
any benefit for cable T.V, �,f tt really is for its public service
its local proqraming apa so on, The praqram and ordinance is so
vague in this area. Gibbs said, I 3snow what you mean.,we have
onp million doilars invested in this, We are the stock holders,
W!}y should we turn over prog=a�{ng �d what goes on it to peo_
ple w�ho have no intereat in it. They are very reluctant to give
up aontrol over the investiqaAt� ar�d I ���t blame them, ga�ex.
8d said, tt�is �8 $ netu• institution, and a new understanding of
what this media can do is being called far, Gibbs said, this
ordiriance is a result of what city could live with, and what
gsneral would live with. C1�� isn't new, �� y,,as in St. Cloud
and Cable Television has been in 1�AT for 20 or 30,years. Father E�
said it was used £or a different purpose though, as a derrivative
of present broadcasting eystems,
Caldwell asked, in the sequence oP events, that means gen� al
television was aelected prior to �yye framinq of the ordinance,
is that right? Gibbs said the ordinance waa drafted, The first
reading �hey passed the ordi,aance and it was in blank� This r
qieans the name was ;Ltt it, but it wasn't accepted, etc. The Sec-
Q�d r�$ail?q 9eneral teleyi,�ion Was named, and they accepted it.

xeceived any reply. Well 2 have contacted them and they did
have the ordinance, and they sent us an annotated outline of
an ordinance for use in considering a process for local regul-
ation. They agrqed to critique the ordiaance that they had, and
they will send back their reply by Sept. 8, Father Ed said that
he fourid that to be a collection of existing ordinances. Gibbs
sdid, I'm not sayinq that this is the panacea of ordin ances, 2'm
$aY�g its brand new, we drev,r it� the staff of the city is willing
tO ��ge �y provisions, Our concern is that we've got some-
one under contract now, but if we make it too restrictive, no
one will want it� and if #t$ too loose, it won't be any gooc7,
I'iA sure general television is off the hook the minute we change
it in any substance at all.
Father Ed said the third alternative is, of course, to staxt over.
I'm afraid your g or 9 months has been lost to most people be-
cause whan I talk to people and in o� hearings, we find that
&�o$t people feit that it was rushed through. Gibbs said when
we atarted in April, it waen't passed until october, and we
went through it at least twice a month, and somati,mqs 3_g times
a month.
Dean aaid somawhere I read that their recommending a period of
' no lees than 2 yrs, to be used to take the various steps nec-
essaz'Y to make a comp�ete investigation and allow for the ser-
vices that can be posaible in the future. Gibbs said, I not
' against that. I'don't think the city government can stand that
amount oE time spent on one ordinance,
Z hava Dean said the i'eeling
, gotten from so many pepple 3a their concern for the ser-
vices that can be offered as a part of C.A.T.V, Adequate
preparation could be made so that those services could be made
� •at a reasonable cost. There isn't really a great deal said in
hex'e about servicas; services such as those demonstrated in
Jonathan--Fire alarm protection, police protection, etc. Gi.bbs
' said police protection was discussed at one meeting and we got
alot of flak on it. People said you aren't going to do this to
us, what is this-1984, Tom said that ttie services don't both�r
' iqe, becauae I think the need for that klnd of service is evident
to any person regardless of his economic standing or anything
else. I like the idea of library services, but this is where
I a problem is. Because this is a learning process, people aren'�
going to miss it until they get it, and they aren't going to get
it until they want it. I don't think the company is qoing to
I push that type of thing an its own,
' Father $d asid this is where community support is absolutely

�� �nd �►Y other ord.�nance, this one we can't for iifteen
Yea�'s. because we're bound into a contract. I think"this fs
what sc3res alot of people. If cable says their going to build
a million dollar facility, we've got to have enouqh time so
that we are guaranteed to get back our i.nyestment. Father 8d
said what about the restaurant vwcier�s risk when he puts in a
100 thousand dollara facilfty. No one gives him any guanantee
that he's qoing to be around and that he won't loose his license

Father Ed said, I think we have the capability of 30 free channels.
I'm wondering what guanantee we have of accessi.bility we have
to those free channels, who is going to govern accessibility,
whose going to be in the traffic control to see whose going to
bg using what at what time. What kind of comnitment is the co.
going to make, What does the ordinance guanantee that theres
going to be some kind of money being plowed into developing these
public service channels. Gibbs said, Why does the city have the
responsibility to seeing that somerne puts money back into it2
Father Ed said, public welfare. Its not lika the restrurant, we
c8a edt other places. With cable television, I have the feeling
that within the next 7 to 10 years it is going to be more than
just a entartairu�ent raedian.
Father Ed said that we are entering the area of common carrior.
Gibbs said getting back to a area that upsets everyone concerning
the ordinance is that the comment has been made that it is an
exclusive franchiae.None of us have ever denicd that. We have
said that we have aade it a non exclusive franchise. There is
no room for two cable television outfita in Fridley. Tom sa3d
that he would much rather attack it from the other end, i'd much
rather have the thing your talking about, some ability, some
rig`ht to get into the books and to use public pressure to bring
about change. I think it seems to me that in a company like this,
where if they v�here if they were truly profiteering, then rather
than trying to anticipate ahead of time, the ordinance make this
knowledge public and try to control the market.
' Tom Collins was tha next scheduled speaker, Dean Caldwell began
the questioning, What is the interest of the education sector
in the CATV? �om Collins said, I would like to look at this
' from a larger field. Durinq the past I have been president of a
state wide organization made up of repreaentatives from school
districts throughout the state, all 444 are being represented,
, The Audio Visual Comuunications Association of Minnesota. We are
aEfiliated with our national organization, �'he Associaltion of
Educational Commznicatione and Technology, which is an unbrella
, organization. including nine diviaions, one of which is the
division of Tella Communications. Last April 16 to 21st our
state hosted a national convention in Mp1s�, They discussed
' the use of cable television in many anqles and passed some resol-
utions wl�ich I have with me,

tinues to b8 seriously concerned for the protection

lic schools in the secondary devision. Theres no question but
what the schools haed-time and money- to plan the most ef£ective
use of cable television as just one more tool of instruction.
The question has aeen brought up, what would you do with eight
channels in district x,y,or b? Very few school districts could
honestly make effeative use of eight channels at once. Some of
the purposes for tvhich they might be used is the training of the
home bound student. We are tryinq to make opportunities equally
a�railable regardless of circumstances and conditions. On a
typical day in my school di6trict there are 200 to 300 home-
bound Students. A home bound student is classified as one
home for more than a month, I believe that the franchise should
hold some wording that would require the cable compauy to have
not only compatable equipmant with other companies that already
�y join its boundaxias but that future companies do likewise.
Dean Caldwell thets asked, do you have aay idea why there was
not snore of a cooperative effo;Y�t betweoa school districts and
between communities on this whole subject, Collins said, I
Suepect that it had much to do with the questions that were un-
an'wered and are still unanswered as to what voice will that
adjoining co�unity have to sa�r about the operation of it, un-
ars�wered questions as to boundaries. It would be relatively
ea�y if municiple boundaries and school district boundaries
coineide as in Bloi�miAqtpn. Without the stsrting of FCC regui-
ationa being charyqeci� we r�ly on the integrity of the people
we live with in our adjoitling ao�nities.
Fathe�c 8d askad, what if thexe were som,e kind of positive in-
' flueace that the eduqational institutions could �ave on comnar-
cial teieviaion just se it exists-mav, Collins said , I think
thare are ao me chazuiels,.�hrough which the pu3alic can voice its
' coACern as to the type of programing availab2e now. Tom said,
oAe af the problems our district pointed out in their commun-
ications with tha cwarnittae was that Fridley district # 14
' probably will never be by themselves to utilize a Cable television
3adependently, and they suqqested there be a joint opexation.

The Fridley Sun has done a wondarful joh of carrying the infor-
mation. Repeatedly I have been told by somern e that they are so
aick of heating about CATV, that in fact, i knaw of somQ peo_
ple who have dropped their subs�.iption because of tnis.
Norton again asked, if you were to try to educata the public on
the benefits of GATV� would you also present the con side? Father
Ed asked what particular con's he.had in mi,n3, Norton said that
he hesistatad to point out atiything specific, but I saw an hour
special on television ahout 4,or 5 months ago ar►d as I recall
they did a very good job of preS�t�g both sides of tre issue.
Tom Collins said is thia not an area that an outgoing committee
could probably do somethinq with.
Tom M.'said we've talked about this so maay timeg� ha„ do you
get the attention oE the public and then how ao you present
objective i.nformation. I thin]c this is an area that is a real
problem. I think the city ou$ht to have someone who works
ih this area full time, just as a health officer. Father Ed said
�+'hY grant a franchise if your in no way going to encourage peo-
plea use of it. If we don't have a public service attitude
tavard$ t,hj.s at aj,l� thgrs would be no reason why this committee

but when the enterprise is competing fairly with the other mem-
bers of enterpr�se, and their all being equally supervised by
the FCC. Tom M. said that these regulations ought to be minimum
regulations which then gives the coimnunity the basis of �ree

action; right now the thing isn't expected to be very profitable.
but the first comapny in there is going to be in a position

Tom Collins said theres another unresolved question i.n my c�an
mind and that is who has the ulti,rtiate authority to determine
whether pr not a franchise onae issued cannot be revoked and
placed under a different set of regulations. Does our state
legislature have that righ�? 2'm sure it would end up in a
supreme court case and I don't kncxa hvev that would turn outo

CATV ADVISORY COI�QlI1TEE PUBLIC HEARING MSETING OF AUGUST 24 1972
Father Edward Chmielewski, Chairman, Tom Myhra, John Hainea were present at
7:30 to begin the public hearing, Father Ed said he had planned a review
and presentation of what the Committee has done but as there was no audience
present yet he would for�go it at this Cime, Dean Caldwell was delayed but
attended the hearing.
Father Ed stated that the Committee was here to liaten and to answer any
questions. Mr, Ole Bjerkesett said he had one or two questions. He sa�d
the charge has been made Chat the CATV ordinance is detrimental to the
people of Fridley. His questions were:(1) Has anything been brwght before
thia Coam�ittee to establlsh that this ordinance or any part of it is detri-
mental to the people of Fridley, and (2) Have any amendments been offered
to correct what they believe is detrimental.
Father Ed answered that Xhere have been a lot o£ suggestions that there are
detrimental aspects to the ordiaance. The Co�ittee as yet has formalized
no posi[ions of any kind Co give to the City Council. He said that was due
Septamber 15th. We're going [o besin the first week of September to review
all the things that we have heard and see what sugges[ion should be made.
Mr. Bjerkesett said he thought the Council had written a good ordinance and
it is well contained in the limits allowed. He failed to see anything det-
rimental in the ordinance.
Father Ed said suggestiona had been made, for inatance, the time given in
the ordinaace of 15 years might be detrimeatal.
Mr. Bjerkesett asked them if they were aware of what was happening in St,
Louia Park. They were talking about a 10 year franchise. Theq hired an
expert for around $30,000, who recommended that they woUld have to give a
15 year franchise. Father Ed said St. Louis Park hovever, is beginning an
intaresting type of experiment, whether they will go through with it or
not, in having a regional type of cable televiaion. Mr, Bjerkesett said
he thought if a cable system went beyond the bounda of the governing body
Ch1s was in conflict with F.C.C, regulations. Father Ed said we have a
�egal opinion that a regional board can regulate these things. That's
one o� th� major dif€icutiea of this is that we have a Yather large under-
taking for a smali community when we talk about local origination of
television prog;ame or public aervice of aay kind, eapecially our school
system which goes through several co�unities. Tom Myhra said he under-
atood the St. Louie Park City Council have decided to go it alone and
Co withdiaw frpm the Metro-type concept of a cable syatem.
Mr. Bjerkeaett aeked Mr, Myhra what problems there would be in establishing
some kind of coordination of activity in cable television fr� one commun-
ity to anotfier where school districte werlap or for the school diatrict
itself to work out aqae klnd of arrangement where this thing can be
broadened to eacbmpaes a whole area. Where would the authority rest,.and
�}o wgul� detg�{nine �hat.

Tom Myhra answered that probably the school districts in Fridley that
overlap other communities could be serviced by District 14 which is complete-
ly in Fridley and could act as an intermediary. It could be the same way
they £eel about c�omputers, They feel District 14 is too amall to make use
oE a computer by itself and would be too small to utilize cable television.
There may be some type of agency so a group of school districts could get
together to utilize cable television. Mr, Bjerkesett said you mean they
would work through aeveral dlfferent companies. Mr. Myhra said yes, so
what kind of a syatem could Wq get so the franchise holder would cooperate.
In the ordinance there is some mention mada of this but when we questioned
Jerry Davis on this he said the City was in no poaition to say to the franchise
holder �f in some future time there may be some sort of a join[ board and
at which time you are goiag to have to cooperate with that board. Mr, Bjerk-
esett asked ff they would have the authority to do this. Mr. Myhra said not
really, but it could be done, There's nothing in the F.C.C, regulations
against it or any regulatione to force it. There would be the problem of
cooperation.
Father Ed said this is one of the problems of this ordinance or any ordinaace,
at this time it ia a pioneering effort.and there is no precedence. One wonders
iP we should wait for some further development or whether you should be the
ploReer yourself and get locked into a 15-year period. Is the public being
protected for that length of time in an art that is developing rapidly.
Mr, Bjerkesett asked why he felt a 15 year franchiae locks them in when it
is not an inclusive franchise, Father Ed said he finds it very dlfficult to
imagine another company comiag in.
Mr. Bjerkesett eaid he thought the franchise holder would be making every
effort to have good public relations because they would be here to make a
profit. pather Ed eaid that's part of the problem because for inatance�
an educational program or library services are•not profitabla. We have'ouly
to look at the conmiercial s[ations to lmow that the dollar market doesn'[
alwAys look at all of th� values that a co�inity might get out of a system.
We brought up last time too, the lack of any kind of regular accouatability
of the franchise holder shor� of breaking the fraachise completely. There
is uo grouqd work for the company to have a working relationship with the
Cquncll or an adVisory caomittee or who ever is going to he working with the
fraachise company. You give the franchise and th� you kind of give it away.
There is no control afterwards,
Mr, Bjerkesett said the very nature of the operation makes it mandatory that
thase ba cooperation betweea the company who wante to make money and the pecvpPe
Chey want to make money from. They have to be concerned about pleasing [he
public, Public opinioa vwld be a controlling factor. What would be your
ai,ternative ,
Father Ed said thia ien't free enterpriae in a true sense, It's a private
bueineas as there is no campetition. It's kind of a monopoly.
Mr. Bjerkeaett said peoplg ��q ��ve �,�hout iC. Father Ed eaid if it ie uaed
to ite potential i[ cau°becacgg �n eaeeatial part� pp our livea. Will it be
respouaive to our social service nesda which are really not very co�ercial.

Mr. Bjerkesett said Xhat whether it is or not, x don't think there is much
we can do about it unleas we go to a socialistic concept and establish
rules upd regulations to tell them what to do and when to do it and then
it wouldn't be free eIIterpriae, Tom Myhra said it might be possible to
have a miX. I compgre it Co the power company. They are governed by rules
aad regulations but j,t's qtill free epterpriae.
Mr. Bjerkesett said within the F,C.C, limits which permita local government
to Euqction, what do you see in the nature of an amendment to the ordinance
that cau do what you Chink should be done.
Mr. Myhra said we had ,Iim Gibbs ia and we talked to him about the advieory
committee working with the company and he said he didn't know if that was
good or bad but he thought'it could be legally written in if the compapy
agree$ to it, Father Ed said you can make any kind of amendment if the
company accepts"it, otherwiae you can't amend the ordinance.
Mr. Bjerkesett asked if this can be done under F.C.C, regulations. Father
�d atated that the F,C,C, regulations are minimal and they will be evolving
too. Mr, Myhra said he couldn't find anything in this euggestion that
violates F,C.C.� regulations. �
Father Ed said this committee is &eeking ita own role. There is nothing
in the ordinance that specifically atates its function and nothing that says
the company has to accept it so it could be at odds with the company where
w� could be a great benefit to it. Although I think we would have to say
this cov�it[ee has a poaitive attitude towards cable television, we don't
want it to fail. If there could be a periodic review of how the art has
developed, it would be to the benefit of the company to explore the possibil-
ities of new services and at the same time permitting a greater amount of
loc$1 programning. Maybe'1t wouldn't have to be written into the ordinaqce
but I suspect it might ba better if it were,
' Mr. Bjerkesett eaid if he uaderstood what the co�ittee was getting at is
that you want to get more local progr�ing, This is going to cost money.
and who s going to pay for it. Is it in the public interest to subsidize
' this, Father Ed said some day it might, The building will be there but
it will cost somewhere betweea $50 -$60 an hour, even i it is subsidized
as it is in Jonathan, for c&u�eras, �quipment, personnal, etc. Father Ed said
, the co�ittee would have as its first recommendation that the 5% tax or
return be reiavested 1n local prograu�ing. Tom Myhra said you have to have
the Galent to operate the channel too.
'
'
'
'
Mr. Bjerkesett said it would be aome time before they were operational and
would ahow a profit so Would it be aensible to work out a temporary arrange-
ment leading to a permapent asraagement when they start making mouey. Mr,
Myhta aaid the subscriber rates are set by ordinaace and can be reviewed,
buL thaC'a not where the_profit coeies fram. 'It comes from advertising. Mr.
Sje�kesett said if we could get an extra amount from the company for thia
Eui�oe� h� wpuld be for that.

Public Hearing Meeting of August 24
Page 4
Mr. ajerkesett said his main concern is that a lot of time went in to khe
study and writing of the ordinance by the Council. This Covm�ittee has
speAt a lot of time on it, so what ia the next step,
Father Ed said who's missing in that whole process, the citizens oF Fridley.
Mr. Bjerkesett said he dida!t qgree, For nine months this was discussed at
Council meetings, I atteaded those Council meetings and the public hearings,
The public was invited to participate, If they did not participate that's
their problem. You can't lead them by the hand. A member of the audience
said she didn't attend the hearings but ahe heard that most of those who
attended the hearings t}ad a negative attitude toward cable�television, You
can have all the hearings you want and if people say no and they pass the
ordinance anyway, what good did the hearings do. Mr. Myhra said the people
in power don't have to abide by what the cittzens want or else there would
never be any improvements made because someone would always have the nega[ive
View. •
Mr, Caldwell said when wi11 the citizens make the decision to support this
if they are not aware of what ii is. If they are uninformed they will not
support this, they will not buy the service and then the company will be
yneuccessful. That's the problem, „
MT, $jerkesett sa�d th18 ahoutd be the concern of the company itself. Mr,
Caldwe�l said it was also the concern of this committee. Mr. Bjerkesett
$did he didn't underst�nd this. The people express themselves in an election.
Thsy elect Tepreaentatives of themselves to make certain decisions. Mr,
C81dwe11 asked what j$r. Hjerkesett thought would happen if we had a re£erendum
tomorrow. Mr, Bjerkesett said he didn't know. It would be ipteresting to see.
Mr. C81dwe11 said Khe indications have been to ua that it would be overwhelm-
iagly defeated,
Mr. Myhr� said he rdould like to cou�ent on j9r, gjerkesett's statemEnt that
, it's th�e coneern of the canpany only if they fail. We believe it is oux
concern too i� we believe that cable television has some real potential over
dnd aboye commercial televiaion, We believe they can provide (1) services,
� and (2)various types of prograumiing you do not now get on commercial television.
I would pot like tp have tha company fold 1f that could be prevented. I'm
not saying i know how to preyenk that.

AYdA Caldwell said he was pA the committee to see that the co�nity of Fridley
got Che best poasihie cable teleVls#on syatem.
FAther $d sald tbe pommittee had not begun 3te' work o£ formalizing specific
Pxoposal�. We have talked to a great variety of people, perhaps a gre$t maqy

that are a part of thie and dt the same time seeing a great potential that

Advisory Committee Public HearinQ Meetine of Aueus
I think we find the matter very complex and when someone mentions that
the Council spent nine months in studying this, the reccmm�zndations are
that up to twe years be spent. Not just by the immediate decision makers,
but on an education program for the coamiunity as a whole so they recognize
the potential service that is being brought into the community. Aftei
three or four months of intensive study I certainly feel the wisdom of
this.
When questions are asked by some on having a cooperative basis, regional
' basis, or Anoka County basis, it staggers the iriagination as to w4at
direction this �ight take, or should be taken, or should it remain on a
local, small basis. Is it that kind of an industry that ca� develop
,, we11 on that small of a basis or whether it should be taken on a larger
basis of some kind.

The questions I have show a risk on both sides. There's the risk that the
company is taking and I think there's a risk that the coom�unity is taking.
I wonder if the community of Fridley is that well-informed to be able to
say it is willing to take this risk, or we don't want to take�this risk
at this time, Do we need further planning and can the ordinance be amended
to reduce the risk to the community if i[s not getting the full development
of the art as it occurs.
Mr. ,Tohn Haines said he has talked to over 200 people about cable television
and the most common response he got was 'why do we need cable television
when I'�g getting good reception now'. People are not aware of the potential
of cable television, I haven't talked to the company yet, but I think it:s
going to take a good many years to develop this potential. The fifteen years
don t bother me if the company has the interest. The only way I can see
them making it go in FridLey js if the company intends to put a lot of money
into research and make Fridley some kind of showcase, because I don't think
they can provide the kind of services that can be provided even if a11 the
8,000 homeowners in Fridley bought the service. I have no concern about Ghe
ownership, but I do have concern about the progravm�ing and the potential uses
which I think are a Long way off in the future,
Bill Nee asked if in talking to those 200 people, there was an urgency in
when they wanted cable television. Did they want the decision made now, or
�ive years from now. John Haines said no one expressed any urgency to me
but I'm not so sure I have the right to deny it,to tho�e who want it. Mr.
Nee apked if many people wanted it. Mr. Haines said he would say 195-198
of the people he talked to didn't know what cable television was except a
booster antenna system.
Mr. Haines said the question has been asked if we should try to inform
people for a couple of years before we have cable television or leave it
to the cable television people to inform the public after they are in, at
the�r expense,
Mr, Myt}x� said I th#g}� �.� }y�g &lready been mentioned that with co�ercial
television you �on`t get a�l the seryices khey could provide, and with a

private system the demand has to be stimulated, I believe a library service
on cable television would be a benefit to the citizens of Fridley and some
effort should be made to educate the public to the awareness of what the
library can do for Chem. Therefore, Z believe the City ought to get into a
position of creating a demand for the services cable television can give and
how it will be financed. If we leave it up to the company it wi11 be on
a dollar demand basis aad we wouldn't get the services it could provide,
Mr. $jerkesett said the people won't learn about cable television until they
want to. This has been talked about in Fridley for over a year and still so
many people are uninformed.
Mr. Bjerkesett said he thought that Mr. Myi�ra, with his educational background,
must have been familiar with the potentials of cable television for public gaod.
What contribution did you make to the City Council to assist them in drawing
up this ordinance in order to prov�de what you ought [o have known the needs
to be. Mr, Myhra said he Was glad the question was asked. He said the school
district was concerned about it and we did contact the Council. They said
Jerry Day�s was available for discussion. Ioput from our group and others
who contributed,resulted ia Jerry Davis and the Council putting in�o the ordin�
ance that 20% of the capabilities ought to be given over to public service.
The problem was, and we felt bad about it, was khat we couldn't give them
the kind of help we should because we realized this was an expensive type
of thing and �ore than District 14 was capable of using by itself, so we
talked about a type of cooperative measure and yet we couldn't spell it out
very well a� a11. Mr, Bjerkeaett asked if the City Council and the school
district both wondered who would pay for the public services and if this is
why nothing was done, I+�r, Myhra said we assumed they money would come from
public taxes for education so it wasn't for that reason. It was because
Dietrict 14 was too small and the districts as a whole were not ready to move.
Mr. Dean Caldwell stated the ordinance as he has been able to interpret it,
guarantees just a few things. (1) That there will be an income once the franchi�
ia in effect, $2500 a year that can be used as the City sees fit, and (2) �
It guarantees the use of all the entertai�ent channels we have now, and
(3) Guarantees one channel for education and one channel for City government,
and (4) The provision for duplex capabillty. There are many, many services
that can be part of s-..cable television system in the future and I think it
is our job to try to sea that adequate provision is made so the City will
realize every thiag they can towards the developmen[ of these services,
whekher it takes a year, or ten yeara or what. I think we ehoul� use all
Che wisdom we can summou up for the ciCizens of Fridley.
Tom Myhrg said we have no power legally but hopefully, we will have the power
of public opinion,
' Mr. Bill Nee addressed himself to Mr, Haiues and used for an example the
services provided by a hospltal. Some services would be more profitable than
Qthers. But because of profeasionaliem, health services are given as needed,
' and the sap�e �Yg� of profesaionalism prevails in education. When Mr. Bjerk-
esett said you could trust �he compan�*'p profit motives to provide the whole
speetrum of services you'warit; I challenge that. I think the people in the

�ervice field recognize their professionalism and how it tends to regulate
your practice. I just want to point out there is no professionalism in
this field.
Mr. Myhra said he wasn't sure he wanted private enterprise to have a con-
science. Let tk�em work for the profit mutive and then regulate it. I
think I'd rather do the regulating directly and let everyone know what was
happening.
John Haines said he appreciated Mr, Nee's views as he thinks Mr. Nee has
'':_ great insight into this and yet the thought comes to me that if we waited
for the telephone until it was fu11y developed we wouldn't have the
, telephone yet beeause it hasn't reached its potential. Somehow or other,
everything has to have a beginning, as rough and embryonic as it is. Some-
place we have to let someone start, to have anything grow. The question is,
where should it start, You are asking us, it seems to me, to wait until
, a11 these things that can be achieved are here at our door step. You
are asking us to wait 5, 10, or 20 years before we implement the system.

Mr. Nee said that's the safe way, He saw no reason to ask the citizens of
Fridley to take part in axperimentation. We could wait and see how it
goes in Bloomington.
Mr. Caldwell asked if the people of Fridley will buy it when they will
only get the coa�ercial channels they can get now plus a couple more,
Mr. Nee said they don't have much to offer yet but that would evolve so
they could sell suhecriptioas,
Mr. Haines asked Mr. Nee if we waited for five years what riak are we
' taking that some �orm og Metrp or State system would supercede us because
we haven't moved. Mr, pee said this question has came up before and the
oxdinaACe provides we Would comply with those regulations. That's not
' the risk. Maybe we should aggressively shape cable teLevision so it doesn't
go bad all together. If an adjacent co�unity came up with a bad ordinance
before we move thaC could be a risk. If Fridley can resolve the known problems
with cable television Very constructively and take the Leadership, this would
, be fine. There are a number ot alternatives and most of them are better than
wtyat we have.

$ather $d said he wondered if the ordinance is accepted and a reasonable amount
of amendmeats be aiade ;f it might not be the basis for a lot of other coamun-
itigs around us. Maybe the rchools or library boards would urge these commun-
ities to write into their ordinances what we have in Fridley so they could
consolidate with Fridley in aome way, _
Mt, Bill Nee said khe ordinance9 I`ye aeen have not come to terms with the
accountability problem, I[hink that is what we have to press for. Father
Ed said he wouldn't press for a long series of regulations at this point so
much as a periodic opening up of the whole question and people having to come
to mind somehow in what �he next step is.

Mrs. Helen Truenfels said I don't think we have to rush ahead. The
Feco�endation is to spend two years on study. There is too much involved,
Pepple dpn't have to sigA up, that's true, but why can't we wait until there
ia some demand. It wi11 be people who really want it who will se11 it.
' M='. Dean C81dwe11 asked if instead of having all these companies have a
time limit on when the systems have to be installed, if the time limit could
be extended so they c8n have more preparation to be sure that the systems
they are ;nstalling are the kind that will enable whatever coumiunity it is
' to have these services•because without these services I don't think cable
televisioa is much.
' Mr. Haines said if you l�t it go on too long, there is a danger that a
company wi11 pick up a€ranchise for speculation oaly and they will sell
it for a profit for themaelves.
' Mrs. �ruenfels asked if it couldn't be one of the amendments to the ordinance
that Lf they doq't ex�rcise the franchise it could revert back to the City.
Mr. C$ldwe�l said it was in the ordinance now that it couldn't be sol�i crithout
' the approyal of the City. Mr. Aee said if they said they only had one buyer
it would leave the city without options.
' Mr. Galdwell said a�ter heing out to Jonathan and seeing the advances being
made makes him think that a little time can give us more advancements.
Mr. T� Myhra said he felt that a delay was making us lose services right now.
' There will be a time la& between when cable te�evision a[arts and when we
we will be ready to use the publi,c services so the longer we wait the longer
it qrill be before khe servlcss can be used.
'

M�C, Haines wondered if We are do�ng a lot of thinking to no avail. (1) The
frsnchise has been gr$Ated, (2) The ordinances is really the contxact, so
aren't our hands tied quite aecurely as Co how far out we can go in changing
the ordinance. It would be easier to get it dropped.
Mr. Nee said 1f you have 8 fairly extensive proposal the company probably
, wouldn't agree to it. Then all the Council would have to do, if it agreed
wlth the Copmittee, would be to reexamine the petition and find it sufficient
aAd they Would have the rlght to repeal the ordinance. If they don't find

unless the Fompany agrees to j.t.

people would be susp�cious, Mr, Nee agreed and said it would be better for

of the problems they had discussed earlier.

CATV ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETIPJG
August 30, 1972
The meeting offjGially began at 7:45 P.M. Members in attendance were
Rev. Edward Chmlelewsk�, Mrs. Barbara Hughes and Mr. Thomas Myhra.
Mr, pean Caldwell and Mr. Joi�n Haines were expected to arrive later
and jointed the meeting at $:30 P. M.
Father Ed storted the general discussion by asking how we ca� service
the educational CommV��t�es all by ourselves, the potential of Cable
TV in ttie State University, Anoka County �ibrary as well as all sorts
of community s�rrvioes. He asked the q�estion of "Is it wise for one
eommunity to grab p franchise and make ihis public service a kind of
medivm oll by iiself"? The Council had a feeling that this was a
but�iness opportunity and it might put the community in the position
as p model for pther pommvnities or as a center or hub for Cable TV
in o►her areas. In yenerol, the Council viewed it as a commercial
vmnture which would succeed or fail purely pn the amount of subscribers
it wovld have ana Ihe kind pf service it would provide for the sub-
sariberc. •
Tom Myhra slated his tnterest from the point of ed�cafion or impact
an edvcationul type of service.
A gentleman in the audience statQd that there m�st be o mpdel by now
fn qther communities outside our State that have gone inTca this public
se►vice endeavor and Fa�+er Ed replled thot ii has been chiefly commer-
qial.
The man osked ff there isn't any oparating puhlic service type of TV.
' �orri Myhra ancwqred fhat many operating publfc serviea TV got started
under a diffprpnt sot of clrCUmitances--they generally had poor recep-
tton while on bropdco�► and on that basis came into this area. Me
' added that th�y hove been qu�ta successful. Me said fhal rhe Commirree's
, itress was on thq pafentipl of Cable TV for ihe fyture and that urban TV
' fs a differenf pnimal, �
'
'
'
'
Fpther Ed said that as pn example, New York and Chicago hav� an
alaborats system and that fhey have an elected Cabls TV Commission--
thpt's how importonf if is ►o the public there. In urba� TV fhe
functiqn of public corrier comes in to allow the community to communi-
Gct� wtth one anothqr. .

The man psked tq draw on onalogy of communication of Cable TV and
the telephone (since many services can be accomplished via rhe tele-
phpne). Fpthar Ed answered that Cable TV comes out of a broadcasting
system and that it sellt communication. He mentioned sponsoring of
local news pro�ram, providing entertainmant and advertising. Tom
Myhra wid ha felt thai the entertainment function would go down in
►he future and such ti�ings as library retrievql and fire protection is
where iT will be al. Bprbora Hughes did not agree that it would be
bfrictly for thp li6raries and suggested that if we can get newspapers
a�d magazines in on this, then libraries would tag along. Tom Myhra
wid it might come sopner through education since schoels have libraries
and thf� mighl lead to county librories. ,
father Ed brought up tho question of publicity or public interest and
if it could be on influence on the medium itself, or how con we legally
lnsure that the p,dvisory Committge would have this impoct on the
industry, Barbara Hughes said that she was not s�re the Council can
do that. Tom Myhrp sqid that the City Council will have to find wme
way to ds{eg4te powar tp them. Father Ed suggesled thot this might
be done by rnsalution.
Anather mon in the audience questipned whether Cable TV was good ar
' bad. He lik@d th� idep of it providing a mass media that will provide
additio�al sourGas of tnfornwtion and entertainment than we have today.
1ipv�rover, the pta6lerrn of installation, the possibility of disseminotion
, of bod infprmpNon, �ost ond profit motivation to the City were things
that he wasn'i familiar with.
'
,
'
Fathor Ed said thaf the nature of Cable TV puts it in a different
frorrqwprk thqn broadtasting, Its Iike Bell Telephone then. The problem
of Cable TV ls lis vetue and also there is a common carrier, the putting
oi students and teacho�s together, doctor and patient together pnd the
fire department pnd local househpld together, This is where fhe problem
epmes in--is the public interest sufficiently g�orded or seen to in the
franchisa.
The mon in •the avdlertea wid tMsre ia no mandate to I�ave a Television
' ond there is gping to be no mandate #a hook up to the cable. Barbara
Hughes soid thpt fl� pressure: arq there somewhere. Tom Myhra said
rhar o4r aociety operatea in such a way that a telephone is almost a
' nscesslty ln our homes and that i� the woy it would ba with Cabla TV.

Man in the audience asked what ore the negative reasons why there
should not be Cable TV. Father Ed said that those who are against
it ask the question "Is the p�blic interest being preserved for the
future development for the area of public service." The man then
qsked if it was a question of dependency then. Father Ed replied
that it was a queation of "Is an essential service being given to the
community or being denied" ? Father Ed said that the value of
Cable TV was not to compete with WCCO on national news, but to
compete with good, solid local programs.
' Man in the audience asked the status of Cable TV in Fridley and
mentioned the ordinance, if it was a valid one, and what kind of
protection is in the ordinance now. Father Ed said that this was a
' pioneer industry and mentioned that many things are not allotted by
FCC to cover the various aspects.
The question of private vs. public ownership came up and John
Haines asked if the Government can do a better job than private
enterprise since there are certain things that the Government can
do a better job in. Tom Myhra said that if the Go�.ernment can do
a better job than private enterprise, then they should. Tom said
he could see a�qble TV company coming here and doing every-
thing strictly on the basis of profit and we have to have regulations
to meet everything. If they were here for, say 60 years, then they
would operate differently and work on long range plans.
,Iqhn Haines mentioned cases where the Govemment provides investment
in order to attract industry.
The man in the audience wid that by looking at a telephone company
owned by the yovemment in another country and comparing it to the
service here, its pretty m4ch we yet what we demand from privat�
enterprise and what we are willing to pay and as soon as we get
government ownership involved, everythiny that happens is pretty much
political. John Haines spid that the City would deal with matters
according to ths priprity it would have. The man in th� audience
said he would be opposed to government ownership.

Father Ed started the discussion on the presentation made by Jim
Gostz and asked, "How do you feel obout the presentation oi Jim
Goetz and its (PCC) part in all of this?" John Haines said that
he was impressOd with fhe firm and that they i�tend to do the right
thing. The aha rts we�e most halpful. John wid he was impressed
with the firtn and that they intend to do the rfyhf thing. The
Chart� were most h61pFUl. John said he was concerned about
hnviny it go to a r�ier$ndum, The total image of mosf of the
people is that they don't see why we need it. John stated he
wa� (ooking at thg potential and that the potential is generally
good and that he does not want to frustrate ihat potential in not
letting it �et started and dovelop. He said he felt that the company
was hono�able and wquJd intend to provide these services and that
the people would be intBrpsted when it is economically feasible.
F4ther Ed wid fhp# imrnediately, libraries will have terminals where
' they can do a�ertain amo�nf� but we ore nowhere neor the ppint
where we wpuld have programs with computer anolysis wl�ere there
is feedback. John Haines soid that if we are getting the atroight
' scoop, he was kind of supported by Goetz in working with the
people to develqp it.
John Haines said he asked G oetz if they have technicol people to
assist in programa and Goetz replied absolutely, however, it wpuld be
limited. Goeta said that is what we are pnxious to get, so that it
ge+s used.
pecn Caldwell said that in talking with Bob Hinkley he had asked
if I thought we would (ike to see a referendum and if we did, they
would prefer It 10 be on November 7th (mors people going to be in
atTendance ►hen). He wfd thls is an assumption that there must be
o referQndum ond s�ggested YhaT one way of avoiding this is to
ponvince Bill Nso pf the oction we are proposing for the council
wap Svffioiant tq take carp qf the requirements of the city.
Barbara Hughes asked, "should we hove a referendum?" Father Ed
spid this should ba the last question we should ask ourselves. Tom
lylyhra said we ihouldn'1 have a referandum and we should ask the
City Council tp re{�eal it. Faiiier Ed wid that it is not our
ppaition to say which voay they should choose but thot wa hove o

variety of motions and we�could recommend repealing it. They
then can perfect thg motion as they see it to the Committee's
wtisfaction and the Committee cpn vote it down. Then we would
ask item by item as an axample, how dp you feel about the inter-
connection amendment, Barbara Hughes said that the definition of
"broadcast netwoek" should be there. "
Father Ed said that if the presentation made by Mr. Goetz has real
authenticity and if he is r@presenting the company's full mind, then
I had a great deal of confidence afTer that meeting fhat I had before.
They oppear to be a forward looking corrpany with an emphasig of
cr�ating a climate of local interest and this is the very heart of the
matfer. Father Ed said he wondered, however, if after they made
the recommendation if we can expect the community to be patient
for thP first two, thrge or four years when everything done is merely
dupliCating services we already have; secondly, local programs might
be less than satisfactory and educational channels might be unhappy.
Dean Caldwell said he was not as impressed. He said he expeqted a
goad presentation and that he didn't think they will be as unnotice-
ably unprofessional to the public. He said that in his mind this
dldn't have the importance that it does in Father Ed's mind.
' Tom Myhra asked if d�rtng fha presentation we got an objective
statgment of what the FCC requires. Barbara H�ghes said no and
said she did not see the F�C as an �ffective threat by itself. The
' Advisory Committee can 6e effective by writing to them. 7om Myhra
said that the Advisory Cpmmittge should maintain close Gontact with
rh� FCC.
Father Ed said that we sho�ld recommend this to the Council: Committae
feels such and su�h are the principal considerations or values in making
the following judgome�nts and that these are the abiding belief� of the
committee and this is what ouyht to be done.

aFFicE OP THE CITY MANAGER
FRIDI.EY, MINNESOTA
September 7, 1972
THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
COUNTY ASSISTANCE FOR MUNICIPAL PARKS
Attached is a d►aft of a letter which I hove prepared requestir��
Anolca County to give assis►ance to cities which have parks over 100
acres in size. This idea simply expands on what is presently being done
with the John Erickson Park os noted in the letter. Based on a discussion
had with Commissiqner Mike O'Bannon, there may be some interest in the
County providing assistance to the cities for their large area-wide parks.
fn the process of my budget review sessions with the Department
Heads this past week, it has become apparent that many jusfifiable requests
are going to have to be eliminated because of the restrictions of the levy
limi4otion imQosed by the $tate of Minnesota. I think tk�ct rrwkes this
request ail tfie mcxe Crjtieal. It is ►imely that we forward such a letter,
i# the CounCii it intec'ested, to the County as they will be considering
iheir budget very sopn a1so,
Recommendotion:
The Council authorize ihis letter to be sent forward and all steps
taken to promote acceptance o{ this idea by Anoka County.
Very respectfvlly,

DRAFT - For City Council consideration $eptember II, 1972
Mr. Ai Kordiak, Chairman
Anoka County Park Committee
Anoka County Court House
Anoka, Minnesota 55303
SUBJECT: County Assistance for Municipa) parks
Dear Mr. Kordiak:
/�s you know, Anoka County presently grants $2,000 annually to Fridley to
assist in the development and maintenance of John Erickson Beach and Park on the
basis that this facility is utilized by more than Fridley residents and is open to Anoka
County res�dents in genernl. This grant, of course, is open to any municipality which
has such a facility available to County residents ond applies for the assistance.
I would like to suggest that your committee consider the investigation and
consideration of a plan whereby the County would grant each municipality $20,000
annuolly for the development and maintenance of each park within any City of Anoka
County, over 100 acres in size, which is available for use 6y residents of Anoka County.
In tfie cose of Fridley, this would include two sites; �amely, Locke Park and the
' recentJy acquired North Park area. As I am sure you can appreciate, facilities of
'

Yhis sizg ore not used sivictly by our own residents, but it is our recorded experience
that people from all parts of Anoka County are making �se of Lxke Park for fomily and
organi;pTion outings; such os, picrtics, wcials, etc.
1 rec�nHy had th� Park and Recreation Deportment analyze the permits for group
reservations for Locke Park fpr ihis year and we found that out of the 100 permits issued
#�rough Augu;f 28, 1972� d(j were issued to Fridley residents with an anticipafed attendance

5,498, and $4 permits were is;ued to non-residents with an anticipated attendance of
8,331, thereby demonstrating that, at lease on a reservation basis, Locke Park is
utTlized by more out-of-city peopl6 than residents, The Fridley Park Department
budget (recreation not ineluded) for 1972 amounted to $263,704. If the Park Committee
cpnsiders this idea worthwhile, the a20,000 annuo� grant per pork could be in cash or
in-kind services. Actual monetary aSSistance cquld be utilized for such items as:
{I) tfie construction of shelters pnd buildings; (2) the purchase of apparatus such as
picniG �ubles, be�ches, playground equipment, etc; (3) construction of trails and paths;
(4} general maintenance ond upkeep. Should the County prefer to contribute in-kind
services, wcM items as {�) road constructio�; (2) tree removal; (3) stump removal;
(4) porking lof Svrfacing, would be suggested in-kind services that would be of great
c�sistance to the City of fridley.
The City of Fridley dass not restrict the use of Lpcke Park or North Park to any-
one or any group. We feel fortunate in having these large parks and are happy to share
ihe en�oymenf of them with th4 citizens of Anokp CountY• By �he same token, we feel
thes4 parks oould be devesiopad more quickly if we had assistance from the CounTy, and
wefi devefopment would bene{it all oi fhe residents of Anoka County.
I wo�id urge your strong consideration of this proposal and would be happy to meet
with you and your committee to discuss it at your convenience.

Dear Mr. Davis:
Sepkember 5, 1972
This is in follow-up to our phone conversation of
Sept. 1. The F�erican Public WoXks Association,
in conjunction with its annual convention, has set
aside Friday afternoon, Sept. 22, for pre-show outdoor
equipment demonstrations.
, 2 have attached a letter from APWA Executive Director
Bob Buqher outlining the details. Each exhibitor is
allowed five minutes between the hours of 1:30 p.m. to
' 3:00 p.m. The demonstration site is a vacant piece of
property located on the street immediately in back of '
the convention hall.
'
I,
As I mentioned, we would like to demonstrate a FleXible
model 701,Hi-velocity water machine. Since you have a
new unit in Fridley, we ask your permission to use yuur
unit for the demonstration.
' Becauae o€ insurance problems I understand you would want
to provide yaqr own driper. We, of course, would pick up
his salary �nd other related expenses for that day if you
' would send me a letter enumarating what they are.
,
'
,
During the demonetr$ti4R, we would give a complimentary
c�edit line to tha �ity of Fridley, if you so desire.
We would have oqr 7.00a1 Flexible rePresentative, Bud Winters,
wprk cyzth yoq on the details.

City Council of Fridley
6431 University Avenue
Frialey, ;;innesota 5�432
Gentlemen:
I hereby reauest that curb and gutter and base for the streets be ;nstalled
' in the Briarda'e Subdivision this fall of 1972. The street surfac�ng to Ge
installed in spring of 1973.
' I have discussed this proposal with Paul Vanderlinde and with Darrell Clark
and it appears feasible to them that it could be added as a change order
with the present contractor doing this type of work within the City now.
' I would like to have a low profile driveover concrete curb ins�alled with
no driveway cutouts. i�e would install our driveways to the curb and the
cars would merely drive over the curb.
Our reason for requesting that this work be done this fall is that we will
have people living along every street in the Subdivision this fall. It
wouid make the streets easier to plow this winter and it would facilitate
getting in and getting out without getting stuck or dodging ruts, etc.
Also, it would permit us to finish the driveways and lawns as we go along
this fall. And last, but not necessarily least is the aesthetic value,
ti�e whole Subdivision is going to look o<<;,er and neiF, ou� �a��, �•r��„r�
and enhance the City of Fridley.
Thank you for your help in faCilitating our development, and I hope we are.
pleasing you with what we are doing.

ANOKA COUNiti
FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA 55421
September 7, !972
Reference: Proposal to Construct a Walkway for Children's Safety From
Rivers Edge Way to Robert Lovis Stevenson School
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Herring:
I am in receipt of your letter of August 24, 1972, and was very pleased that ypu
' took the time to axpress your views regarding the construction of a walkway. I hope I
can answer some of the questions you have raised in your letter.
�
'
�
'
'
On tFie matter of selecting a route, the City Engineer's office and School District
No. 14 officials worked together to select the various alternate routes. The reason that
Route #I was basically selected was that it provided a direct access for the majority of
children coming fram 62nd Way and Rivers Edge Way to e�ter the school property, both
during the schoo) year and for utilization of the summer playground with a minim�m of
disfance on the street. At the present time, the children on Rivers Edge Way, of
course, are walking to school, and it would be conceivabie that some of the children
would continue to go out to the sidewalk on East River Road to go to school. The
School District advised there were a number of children that cut through the various
properties along Rivers Edge Way and went to the east end of the schoolyard fence and
went around the fence to get onto the school grounds. It was envisioned that this
walkway would be utilized year around for children, both in gaining 6ccess to the schopl
property and in gaining access to the playground in the summerTime.
' The City, as such, wouid be satisfied with vny of the four routes as accomplishing
the major purpose; that is, providing a walkway to the school grounds and keeping the
children off East River Road.
, I� your third paragraph you mention Alternqte #I os being the preferable route.
We a�so feel that that would be the first choice, however, there was considerable
'

'
opposition from Mr. and Mrs. Bert $later in granting an easement to the City for use
' of their property. I believe the City, at this point, would be most happy to choose
pny pf the four routes, providing we could get agreement from the property owners
: '� � that thsy would sell an easement to us for a properly-compenwted price.
'

�
In your last paragraph you mention the maMer of compensation for the property
qwners. I would like to roview for you how the C�ty gces about arriving at a fair
compensation for the easement. On these particular properties the City hod engaged
Mr. Harvey Peterson, an independent fee appraiser, to make an approisal on the cost
of an easement. Mr. Peterson determined that the fair cortQensation would be $.60
per square foot for the land acquisition (eosementj, and an additional S2 per lineal
foot to be paid for either a fence or a hedge, depending upon the wishes of the
property owner. I am including a portion of that appraisal report. This would have
been the offer of the City had the negotiations continued. It was my understanding
afi the public hearing that mony of the people that lived olong Rivers Edge Way, ''
adjacent to Stevenson School, were not interes�ed in having a walkway through their .
yards regardless of the price the City paid for the easement. I believe it is the
obligatipn of the City Council to pay a fair and equitable price, but also to insure
that overpayment is not made,
The City is now in the process of securing a second appraisal to give us a wider, ,
basis on which to determine a fair and equitable price. After that appraisal has been
made, I personally will make effo�ts to try to convince the residents of the area of
the need for the walkway. The City administration has been directed to postpone
pny Furfiher consideratipn of the walkway until June of 1973.
lt is true that undoUbtgdly there will be some savings in busing costs for the
childrGn alDng 62nd Way. I bslieve we cannot equote that with neceswrily the price
the �iFy would pay for the easement. The only fair and legal basis by which the City
can acquire a property or an easement f$ through the use of qualified, independent
appraisers, who determine the value of fhe land and then attempt to reach an agree-
ment with the individual property owners. If the individual property o wners are
dissqtisfied with the offer the City makes them for their property, they still have the
alternative of requiring the City tp go to condemnation, in which court appointed
appraisers wpuld mpke an appraisal and set the price for the land.
I would like to thank you for your interest in this matter and would solicit
� your cooperation in helping the City to construct this walk way in order that the
chtldren of �his neighborhood will have a safe access to school.

month of July the average response has been about 14 men.
Three training sessions were held this month with an average
attendance of 23.66 .
The regular monthly meeting of the Fire Department was held
June 29th due to the Fourth of July Holiday. There were
29 men in attendance.
The new Fire Engine is now in service. Engine 8 as it is
known responded to its first alarm, which was at Totino's Plant,
on July 14th.
Fire losses for the month of July amount to approximately $ 2,500.00. The bulk of the loss
tvas on the fire at Flannery Park, two portable toilets, and one end of the warming house
were burned. This fire was set by an unknown juvenile. The halance of the loss �as
from automobile fires.
Smoke extractors and water vacuums were used to remove water from a home at 1513 Berne
' Road. The water tank on the toilet, on the second floor broke, when the family were on
vacation. When the neighbors discovered the water in the house, there was approximately
8 inches of water in the basement, all the carpeting was full of water. The neighbors
� had cleaned up most of the water before calling us for help.
