MINUTES OF THE REGULAR CDUNCIL MEETING DF APRIL 2, 1973 PAGE 2
� VISITORS:
Mr. Henry Melcher, 6500 Pierce St.:
Mr. Melcher referred to the previous Council meeting saying nis problem was
brought to the Council's attention on March 19, 1973 and was item 14 through 14D.
He said the matter was in regard to the death of the shrub fence on his property
caused by the plowing and blowing of snow which contained salt onto the area and
shrubbery. Mr. Melcher passed an overview of the entire situation and several
attachments explaining the overview.
He said his purpose is that the City pay $120 for smaller shrubs than Bachman's
had recommended. He said he would do most of the work and City could haul the
dead shrubs away after he had taken them out.
The City Manager asked Mr. Melcher if he was planning on planting a new kind of
shrub in the area, so there would not be further salt damage? Mr. Melcher said
he planned to plant the Za6e1's Honeysuckle as recommended by Bachman's. H�
added, this would highly be non salt toxic. The City Manager questioned Mr.
Melcher if he would sign a statement that the City would be free from Further
liability m the future, Mr. Melcher said yes.
MOTION 6y Councilman Starwalt to have the administration review the matter and
return with recommendations to the Council for a solution at the next Council
meeting, April 9, 1973• Seconded by Councilman Cltter. Upon a voice vote, all
� voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
MR. DEWAYNE LENNOX.
The acting City Attorney, James Gibbs, in the absence of Mr, Virgil Herrick,
addressed the Council saying that at the last meeting he had attended, Mr. �ewayne
Lennox had submitted a letter which was received at that meeting. He said he did
not know what could be done about the letter. He said the genileman's pro6lem is
that of the frontage or facing of a pl�nned double bungalow. Mr. Gibbs said he
would like some direction on where he could go for further information for Mr.
Lennox.
Mayor Liebl said the Council had received Mr. Lennox's letter at that meeting.
Mayor Liebl added, Councilman Breider had volunteered to talk to Mr. Lennox.
Councilman Breider said he would like to reaffirrn the conversation that took
place at that time. He said the agreement was L-hat if Mr. Lennox wanted to face
the bungalow on Symphony, this would 6e �ust fine, but if he continued to stay
with the request to fact it on 74th, it would 6e very difficult. Councilman
Breider said until Mr. Lennox wanted to face the building on Symphony, there would
be no other way to go.
Mr. Lennox thanked the Council.

RECEIVING THE REPDRT ON FRIDLEY'S DESIGNATION AS THE P;LOT CITY FOR LOCAL GOVERN-
MENT INFORMATION SYSTEM ASSOCIATION.
Mayor Liebl called on the City Manager to present the information to the Council.
The City Manager said there had been a Resolution submitted the Council in the
agenda, which stipulated the Council's approval in participating in the LOGIS
program which was adopted May 1, 1972. The City Manager said that he had also
submitted a cover letter which is a report coverinq the LOGIS program.
The City Manager said one City participating in the program would be designated
as L-he Pilot City, This would involve putting the computer system to work in the
City Hall to do the payroll, and personnel processing.
The C rty Manager explained the use of sharing the Cargil release lines. He said
the Finance Director and himself would spend about a week in California at Optimum
Systems and other cities that are presently operating a similar system or are
converting to the Gemunis system. He said the purpose of this visit would 6e to
6ecome thoroughly familiar with the system and to gain an understanding of how
management can use data processing to its fullest capability. He added, the cost
of- the trip would be borne by LOGIS at no add rtional cost to the City.
The City Manager said the LOGIS Executive Director, Mr. T. L. Willard, was present
to answer any of the Council's questions. He said Mr. Willard had been working
with the staff and had also prepared a report on the ,[�ilot City Project which had
been submitted to the mem6ers of the Council in their agenda.
Councilman Breider asked Mr. Willard if the City would be leasing the equipment�
Mr. Willard said LOGIS would be leasing the equipment. He said a comparable ter-
minal is being leased by IBM for $90 per month and $75 per month over a long term
range.
Mr. Willard said ii the steps laid out by the program are approved and are
followed, the payroll of the C rty employees would come from the California compu-
ter in July. He added, all by product reports will also be available from the
computer. He listed some examples as sick leave, vacation time, and comp time.
Mr. Willard said the second step would 6e to �nclude the general legal accounting
in the program. He said this would automatically post the payroll to the general
ledger, etc.
Mr. Willard stated the third step in the program would be to use the computer for
utility billing. After these programs are instituted, the Finance Director may
go to the system and find out specific information.
Mayor Liebl asked if the budget work would be able to he done with the computer?
He asked if what is best for the community could be determined through the use of
the computer? Mr. Willard said the budget and planning would be included in the
system. He said there is a long list of line items and the pro��act participants
are trying to determine the capability and possibilities of the program.

� The City Manager said the tiraining committee is work mg on these as�ects of the
program. He added, the City of Fridley is paying their alloted amount for partici-
pation in the program along with nime other communities, He said $6,000 for the
pro�ect has been assumed by LOGIS, the City pays one twelfth. He said the only
factor would be the time spe��t by the employees and staff of the City, The City
Manager said he would rather be the first to participate in the system thar� the last.
Mr. Willard said the Fridley City Manager is the director of the tra�ning committee
and it was his opinion that his participation in the pilot city program would
enhance the knowledge of the entire system.
Mayor Liebl asked the purpose of the Resolution in the agenda, The City Manager
said it was for information purposes, it was the Resolution passed 6y the Council
in May of 1972 indicating approval of Fridley's participation in the LOGIS program.
The City Manager said his recommendation would be to author rze the binding agree-
ment be signed designating Fridley as the Pilot City for the LOGIS program.

and the first step would be to sign an agreement For the franchise'r
The ace rng City Attorney, James Gibbs, said he was not as familiar with the activi-
ties as Mr. Virgil Herrick. He said he had expected him to be in attendance at

REPORT ON INVESTIGATION OF POSSIBLE SITES FOR STEVENSON SCHOOL WALKWAY BY COUNCIL-
MAN NEE:
G��uncilman Nee said he had spent many hours talking to the area property owners anc
he had not been successful in o6taining consent from them for an easement for the
walkway. He added, he is prepared to say it is not possible to obtain agreement.
Mayor Liebl suggested inviting the people of the area to the next Regular Council
Meeting, on April 16, 1973• He said he would recommend the walkway be constructed
yet this year. He said he believed more money should be allocated for the pro�ect.
He said he would rather negotiate �For the easement for the walkway than condemn
the land for it. He said the recommendations from the School Board should be re-
viewed.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 2, 1973 PAGE 5
He said the people of the area were not given an adequate explanation of the pro- �
�ect last year, they came home and found stakes rn their yards. He added, the
City Manager is fairly certain the pro�ect could be implemented on the north side,
as there are individuals who ihink it could be done. He said it may be that the
City would have to condemn the land on the south side. He said in his judgment,
the longer the City waits, the more it is �eopardizing the children who must
travel along East River Road. He said the matter had been brought before the Coun-
cil two years ago, and again last year when the pro�ect ran into some snags.
Mayor Liebl suggested notifying all of the area property owners, giving the people
enough buffer zone for privacy with fences or shrubs and try to get the walkway
in the area this year. He said he had recently received four calls from mothers
who were concerned a6out rheir children.
The City Manager said he did not believe it was a matter of money as much as it
is a matter of principle. He said th�y had two approvals, have offered security
fenc rng, and still the people are not interested in the pro�ect. He said he be-
lieved it would have to be condemned on the south if the City wants to adopi�
the pro�ect.
Mayor Liebl said he thought a better agreement could be worked out. He said the
City should tell the people that their privacy would be respected. He said the
people want a buffer so the children would not go into their yards.
Councilman Nee said the area is very tight and there is not much area that could
be used. The City Manager agreed saying, all four proposed routes are very �
close. He said if the Council wants a document stating the response to the idea
from the area people, he did not have one, but they are saying the children can
use the sidewalk on the East River Road.
MOTION by Councilman Nee to send a letter of notification to the people of the
area that the four alternative proposals will be discussed the meeting of April
16, 1973, and asking them to be present. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt.
Mayor Liebl reminded the Council that there was a Resolution adopted stating there
will be no action taken before ,)une 1, 1973.

inously.

� CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST BY MR. KENNETH GILL AND MR. GEORGE SCHUMANN TO ERECT
A FENCE BARRIER BEHIND 4330 AND 463$ 3RD STREET IN THE EASEMENT TO DETER MOTQR
SCOOTERS:
Councilman Nee said he had been in the back yards of the people the past weekend
and w rthin fifteen to twenty minutes there were assaults by eight or ten motor
cycles. He said there should be a degree of privacy in those persons back yards
He said the problem involved is created by the unvacated alley He said it is a
nw sance and also a hazard. He said there is a motor cye.le race track through
the area. He said he did not know what could be done for a short range solution to
the problem, but a long term solution would be to vacate the alley. He said ihe
possible short term solutio� may be to allow the erection of a fence.
Mayor Liebl said in order to vacate the alley, Lhe matter would have to go to a
hearing.
The acting City Attorney said the City could auihorize the �nstallation of a
fence in the area for a short term solution. He said if some time in the future,
the City would have to use the alley, the fence could be taken out. He said ihe
process would be to eventually go through vacation procedures. Councilman Nee
asked how long such a vacation would take. The City Attorney said a notice would
have to be se�t out with sufficient time allowed. The City Engineer estimated
the amount of time to be three months.
The City Engineer called the Council's attention to the map pros�ided in the agenda
� on page 4-B indicating there are some persons who do use the alley, and it would
be impractical to vacate rt, The C rty Engineer suggested approving the con-
struction of fencing which would be sub�ect to removal when the City needs the
area for utility work. He also suggested the rnstallation of a��dead end" sign,
stating, then the people would not go in there.
�
L 1 �
Mrs. Schumann said she would like to see the fence constructed to deter the cyclists.
She explained how the route taken is high at 47th and driven like a race irack to
46th. She said the neighbors of the areaare in accord and vaould like to have some-
thin� done. She mentioned the fact that if the alley is chopped up they would not
come barreling down like it is a race track. She said she has seen children eleven
years old driving cycles with children of five on the handle 6ars. She said she
could not imagine that their parents do not know they are doing this. She said
two barriers would quiet the speeders.
MOTION by Counciliran Nee to receive Mrs. George Schumann's letter and instruct the
administration to prepare options the Cou�cil may take for presentation at Lhe next
Council meeting, Apri1 9, 1973. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon a voice vote,

REGULAR CDUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 2, 1973 PAGE 7
The City Attorney introduced Mr. Warren Johnson froei Northern States Power Company. �
Mr, Johnson introduced Mr, John H. Mertz, also from Northern States Power Company,
Chairman of the North Division, and said he would be able to answer any questions
the Council may have.
Mr� Mertz adressed the Council saying Northern States Power Company has no ob�ec-
tion of the formation of a metro rate authority. He said he believed it would be
a good settlement and an effective rate regulation tool. He stressed that N,S.P.
would not ob�ect to this at all.
Mayor Liebl asked Mr. Mertz if he was implying a metro rate authority may 6e
stricter and cost less than an authority on a state wide basis7
Mr. Mertz said the Mayor was partially correct in his questioning. Mr. Mertz said
the Company is putting in services as fast as possible throughout the state, he
added, it can be done faster within the metropol rtan area. He said the people
would have some vote in the metro rate authority.
Mayor Lie61 asked if 60% of the communities in the area would have to be involved
to make the franchise binding and create a metro rate authority7 The City Flttorney
said the City would have to �dopt the franchise. He said he presumed rt would be
adopted by all of the communities that will be participating. And in accordance
with the City of Fridley Charter, he added. He said it is not by 60% of the
communities. It is those communities which have 60% of N.S,P, customers i� their
area,
Councilman Starwalt asked if the consultants are selected by the Steering Committee, �
he used Mr. Bruce Nawrocki as an example of one of the members of the committee.
Mr. Mertz said there has been $150,000 budgeted for use in 1973. Mr. Mertz said
this money is used by the inetro rate administrative body as they see fit to use it.
Cou�cilman Breider agreed with Mr. Mertz saying, he was on the board for the
suburban rate authority for the Gas Company and they paid the cost. He said the
committee had to ask the Company not to put so much money into the authority as
they had enough funds.
Councilman Starwalt said he did not believe this would be a� unreasonable situa-
tion. Councilman Breider agreed.
THE VOTE ON THE MOTION TO RECEIVE THE REPORT was a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
The Finance Director said the action the Council should take would be to set a
Public Hearing date if they want to proceed.
Councilman Breider asked if this was correct. He asked if there was to be any ac-
tion at the present time7 He questioned the method of awarding the franchise.
The City Attorney said a certain amount of notice should be given before the Pub- �
lic Hearing is held. He said this would take about two weeks. He suggested
setting the Public Hearing for the second Monday in May or May 14, 1973•

BLOCK 12, HYDE PARK ADDITION (LAWRENCE MUGGL U:
Councilman Nee said he was very impressed with the plans and he would like to per-
suade the City to spend the money on one of the plans.
Mayor Liebl questioned if the planting was set back far enough?
The City Engineer said there are two proposals, one, for planting and another for
the rnstallation of staggered wood posts. He said he felt the wood posts would
be least expensive to maintain, but he thought ihere should 6e an alternative plan
presented. He said there was not much difference m the cost of the two proposals.
Mayor L�ebl asked where the money would come from. He asked rf there had been any
budgeted for this type of prolect?
The City Manager said he thought the City Engineer maintained his budget so well
that the City can manage this pro�ect very well.
Mayor Liebl suggested this pro�ect be approved.
� The City Manager said he believed the staggered posts would be a better plan than
the planting because of the salt factor. ue said he recommended the posts so there
would be no killing out of the plants.
MOTION by Councilman Nee to authorize approval of the staggered wood post installa-
tion plan. Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Lie61 declared the motion carried unanimously.

"Prov�de a baiance of high quality housing units for all income levels
w rthin the City of Fridley to msure the provision of social amenities to
low and moderate i�come families and the elderly."
Mayor Liebl asked Mr. George Zeglen, Planning Commission where the planning
Commission planned to put the low income housing. Mr. Zeglen said he did not
think any6ody had anything specific in mind.
Mayor Liebl said he believed they should be told where the low income
housing would be. He said he would oppose this in the next year's election.
Councilman Breider said the City does not have much residential property left.
He added, there are different levels of housing in the City today, He said
the people who do move here have quality home=, not low income, Councilman
Breider said he believed this action would perpetrate what is set in the
Code. Councilman Breider said he would like to have some discussion on
this point. He would like to know what is being talked about.
Mayor U ebl said he recommended there be a Public Hearing before the CounciJ. �
He said an explanation should be given to the people on the matter. {{e

ter had been open to Public Hearings and the people were not responsive.
Mayor Liebl assured Mr. Zeglen that people would show up for a Public Hear-
ing. He said he would like to see the input of the Commission. He agreed,

rezoning. He said there was also a letter from the applicant included rn the
age�da material. The City Engineer said the applicant was presen,,. He said
the Council's action would 6e to set a pu6lic hearing, as the applicant is
requesting a public hear mg. The City Engineer suggested the hearing be set

The City Engineer said the request was for a change to R-3 zoninga However,
there is some modification of the plan and Mr. Templin would agree to having
the property on East River Road R-2 and the property on Hickory R-1. The
City Engiqeer said Mr. Templin was present to request a^ublic Hearinq beFore
the Council.
Mr. Templin said he would like to clarify the letter. He said he had wished
that R-3 could be granted for that portion on East River Road and the prop-
� erty on Hickory Street would remain the same or R-1. He said he had changed
the plans for the unit to 6e used from a five unit to a four uni*_ 6uilding.
He explained how the mortgage company's rates on the five un rt conscruction
would be out of line. He said he did �ot believe the u rcumstances were
made perfectly clear when it was recommended for denial by the Planning
Commission. He said there would be no more driveways on East River Road. He
said the traffic on East River Road was terrible, and he would like to avoid
it.
The City Engineer asked if there would be a request for R-2 zon mg on a por-
tion of the property� Mr. Templin said there would 6e R-1 on parl-, and
limited R-2 on the rest of it.
Mayor Liebl asked Councilman Nee if he would concur with the Planning Comm3s-
sion. Councilman Nee said he would if what they considered was the only
d�oice. Councilman Nee asked if it would be possible for the matter to go
back to the planning Commission with the new proposals7 Councilman Breider
said the Council could set a Public Heariny and have Mr. Templin change his
proposals. Councilman Nee said he would like the Planning Commission to
look at his new p�oposal.
Mr. R. A, Larson, 658o Hickory Drive, said if the Council held a Public
Hearing, there would be a number of residents in attendance. He said the
plan for R-1 on Hickory and R-2 on East River Road was unsatisfactory to him.

on the new proposals. Councilman Nee agreed, saying if the Council hears
the new proposals and accepts them, they would be going aga mst the recom-
mendations of the Planning Gommission. He said he would not want to go
against the recommendations of the Fla�ning Commission if something could
6e figured out. He questioned the feasibility of this plan because of the
time element.

� CONTINUED: REZONING REQUEST: Z@A #/73-04, NORTH AIR HDME ASSOCIATION.
The City Engineer said the Planning Commission had recommended denial of the
rezoning request to allow expansion to the non conf-orming use. The City
Engineer said there was a problem in the area and this was the idrainage
problem. He saad there should 6e some money escrowed, as this is a constant
problem. He said the general neighborhood is opposed to the si_orm sewer
installation and had demonstrated this at Public Hearings. He said he
thought the City should proceed to escrow inoney f-or the storm sewer. The
City Engineer said he would recommend the Council deny the rezoning request,
grant a variance for the addition and stipulate that $3.00 per 100 square
feet be escrowed for storm sewer.
Councilman Starwalt asked if the variance would allow for the building of
the 25 foot by 80 foot addition to the existing property. The City Engineer
said yes. He added, the problem here is that the building is now non-con-
forming use, He said additions to buildings that are non-conforming use are
not allowed. The City Engineer said rezoning would allow any other kind of
use. He said the first action would be to deny the rezoning, second'y,
allow a variance with the stipulation of the money escrowed for the storm
sewer.
MDTION 6y Councilman Starwalt to concur w rth the recommendations of the City

RECEIVING A REPORT ON DISCUSS�ON WITH FRIDLEY LITTLE LEAGUE OFFICIALS REGARDING
REQUEST FOR FREE WATER:
The City Manager said he was aware of the situation and had tried to establish some
terms with the people from the Little League organization. He said the City had
suggested the bill be modified with the cond rtion that the ball park would be
used by the recreation department when the Little League was not using it. He
added, they did not seem interested in this sort of agreement as they had put a
great deal of time into the maintenance of the park to keep it in top condition.
He said the matter of how late the billing was received by the organrzation, must
also be taken into consideration. He said this must be corrected in the future.
He said two years had gone by before a billing vaas made. He said the staff of
the water department was unable to locate the perso� who would grant entrance into
the building to read the meter.
Mayor Liebl said he thought the Little League was doing a good �ob. He added, he
would like to see the water bill cut in half. He mentioned how the dedicated
fathers work hard to raise money for the organization. It is non profit, he added.
Counu lman Starwalt asked if the organization was paying a commercial or residential
rate, He asked why the bill was an even $600, his bill is never an even amount,
he said.
The City Manager said they are getting the same rate as the residential properties.
He said there is some break if over a certain amount is used.
The City Finance Director said the bill had been $600 and some odd cents, and the
amount was rounded off to the dollar.
Councilman Starwalt questioned the large amount of the bill for �ust two ye2rs. Mayor
Liebl said the amount depended on the meter reading. Councilman Utter said they
had only 6een billed $38 the first year. The Finance Director said this was not
an accurate bill. He said the card was read by someone on the premises and they
read the meter and put the reading on the card without entering the last zero.
MOTION by Councilman Utter to cut the bill to $300 and make provisions to read the
meter. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Lie61 declared the motion carried unanimously.

and Ms. Barbara Hughes was present at the meeting. He said the 6ill was to come
6efore the Senate the following morning. He said he had -,brought it to the

The C rty Manager read aloud the statement of opposition to the bill. He said the
Cominission feels there is a role For the State in interconnection, but his goes
beyond this and Minnesota would have complete control. He stated the City had a
franchise ord mance and there had been a pool of experts available Eor the
ordina�ce. He said this poit�t would go far beyond this. He said if the bill
passed, it would be a duplication of the City Franchise for Cable T. V.

State. He said if any one would testify for the bill, they should have their
head examined. He added, we are creating a bureaucracy. He s�id he thought the

testif-ying had been done without anyone i.nowing it, and this is not the way to
do it. Both sides should 6e heard, he added. He said he heard about the bill
