SPECIAL PRESENTATION BY ANOKA COUNTY OFFICIALS ON THE PROPOSED LIBRARY:
AND
RESOLUTION #85-1973 - AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY OF ANOKA TO PROC�ED WITH
ITS PLANS TO CONSTRUCT A BRANCH LIBRARY BY THE ANOKA COUNTY LIBRARY
BOARD IN THE CITY OF FRIDLEY:
Mayor Liebl called on Mr. Jerry Young, Director of the Anoka County
Library Board. Mr. Young said the Board had been in the process of
determining a location for a larger branch facility in the City of
Fridley. I-Ie said the Board had come to the conclusion that the facilrty
should be constructed on the corner of Mississippi and Sth Street.
He said he felt this was an excellent location and would be an asset
to the community of Fridley. He said it would be easily accessable.
Mr. Young said the facility would be 9,000 to 11,000 square feet and
would house 15,OD0 to 20,000 books. He added, this would be a one
story facility. He said it would be an expanded facilrty as compared
to the facility now in the basement of the City flall.
Mr. Young said he hoped the Council would approve the preliminary con-
cept of the Library plan. He said this would not include any approval
on the building plans or specifications at this time. He added, the
architect would be working on the plans and the Board would prescnt
them to the City upon completion for approval. He asked the members of
the Council if they would approve the Resolution of the concept of the
proposed Library.
Mayor Liebl asked the amount of the planned investment for the Library.
Mr. Young said the investment would be $350,000 to $400,000 including
the land. Mayor Liebl said Mrs. Barbara Hughes, 548 Rice Creek Terrace
has kept the Council informed on the plans of the Library Board, and
he knew that they had looked for the site for a long time. He said he
thought the facili�y would be an excellent addition to the City.
MOTION by Councilman Nee to adopt Resolution #85-1973 authorizing the
Anoka County Library Board to proceed with their plans to construct
a Branch Library in the City of Fridley on Mississippi and Sth
Street. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon a voice vote, all

PAG� 3
OLD BUSINESS' ,
RECONSIDERATION OF LOCATING A NATION GUARD ARMORY IN THE CITY OF
Mayor Liebl referred to the memorandum submitted by Acting City
Manager, Mr. James Hill, stating there are two alternatives. The
Council could re-affirm their decision to not locate an armory in
Fridley, or ask the Planning Commission to reevaluate and reconsider
the new developments. Mayor Liebl said there are recommendations
from the Director of Parks and Recreation, Mr. Paul Brown, stating
the Commission was favorable to the consideration of the armory
in Fridley. Mayor Liebl said the Director of Civil Defense, Robert
D. Aldrich, also favors the construction of the Armory in Fridley.
He added, according to Mr. Aldrich, the armory would enhance the
Civil Defense forces in Fridley.
Mayor Liebl said the City of Fridley would only be responsible
for 25o or 300 of the financing of the construction. He continued,
this would be a gold business venture for the City. Mayor Liebl
suggested the matter be sent back to the Planning Commission for
their consideration of the plan and its feasibility. He said he
hoped the other members of the Council would have a chance to look
at the proposals.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to send the matter back to the Planning ,
Commission because of the change of circumstances. Seconded by
Councilman Nee
Councilman Nee said he would like the matter referred to the Plan-
ning Commission with the idea that the Council is not urging they
approve the concept of the armory. Conncilman Starwalt agreed,
saying they should reconsider the change in information not to
consider this as the Council asking for approval. Councilman Nee
said he would hate the Planning Commission to review the matter
and approve the plan �ust because the Council is asking for another
recommendation.
UPON A VOIC� VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion
carried unanimously.
RECEIVING MEMORANDUM FROM THE ACTING CITY MANAGER ON THE NORTH
SUBURBAN YOUTH SERVICES CENTER:
Councilman Nee said he thought the matter should be tabled until
the next meeting of Council when the other Council members would be
present.
Mayor Liebl said he thought this would be appropriate action to
take. He said he thought this to be a moral decision. He said he �
had talked to the welfare department and there are people in need
of this type of service. He said there are many young people that
are scared and afraid to go to their parents for help. He said not
obtaining this assistnace could cause serious mental and health problems.

� He said he feels people are more important than money. He said he did
not feel the present standing of the service could be deter�ined
by a dollar value. He said he had also talked to people who are
volunteering their time at the center, and these were people of
Fridley. He said he had determined they are really helping those who
are in need of help. He said he would like the City of Fridley to make
a commitment in order to take care of the less fortunate young people.
He said they would not be singled out by society and would have a
helping hand.
Mayor Liebl said he would support the recommendation that the County
take a closer look atthis for funding at a L'ouncy level for 1975.
Councilman Nee said he had been present at the meeting when a presenta-
tion was made by the directors of the youth center. He said at that
time he was under the impression that the members of the Council and
the City were in support of the programs of the Center. He added, if
the City is changing its position, they should make this decision known
to the organization.
MOTION by Councilman Nee to adopt recommendation number three as sub-
mitted by the Acting City Manager and budget $1,OOD for 1974 and
recommend to the County Commissioners that the service be financed by
the County Board in 1975. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt for dis-
� cussion purposes.
Councilman Starwalt said he thought the matter should be considered
by a full Council. He said the City would be setting a precedent
with the amount of controversy on the matter, he would like to have
additional information on the aspects of the organization. He said
he would like some more answers and would not want to take action on
the thought the City should be willing to pay their way, but he did not
want to vote on the matter at the present time. He stressed the
point that this would set a precedent and he thought it should be
voted on by a full Council.
Mayor Liebl said he was aware of the concerns by Councilman Starwalt,
but felt the people mean more than the $1,000 being discussed. Mayor
Liebl said the City of Fridley is a young community and there are people
who need help. He said if the City would put aside the $1,DD0, this
would be a good gesture. He said he would like to indicate to the County
that the City thinks this is a good thing, and that they should look
into funding it. Mayor Liebl said he would hope the matter could
be a unanimous one, or this would not look good He said this is not a
politically orientated or partisan matter. He said it is a matter
which would enable young people to have a chance in life. He said
he is very sensitive in this matter, and he thought every young per-
son should have a chance to be a good and productive citizen.
� COUNCILMAN NEE WITHDREW his motion and Councilman Starwalt withdrew
his second.

FOR PARK PURPOSES•
Mayor Liebl asked the City Attorney if the lease is acceptable.
The City Attorney said it is in substance what had been previously
discussed and approved by the Council in memo form. He said if it
is acceptable to the Council, he thought it should be presented
tothe School Board for their approval. He said it was his under-
standing that the Director of Parks and Recreation had worked
with the School Board on the matter.
MOTION by Councilman Nee to approve the lease and authorize the
Mayor to execute the lease. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt.

Peterson Company and Curtls A. Larson, Independent Fee Appraiser,

voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion
carried unanimously.
Mayor Liebl said the total amount as appraised by Harvey Peterson
would be $21,400 and the total from Curtis Larson would be $23,000.
The City Engineer said the action to be taken should be to authorize
the easement for ponding of water on the property. He said there
are a number of complaints about the present temporary ponding in
Briardale area. He said the storm sewer system cannot be used without
an outlet. The City Engineer said this is a part of the whole Rice
Creek area planned storm sewer program. He said he would recommend
the Council authorize the City Attorney to negotiate for the acqui-
sition of the ponding easement. He added, this is the same area in
which the $800 is required ta be escrowed for storm sewer construc-
tion per building site.
Mayor Liebl commented to the Ward Councilman Starwalt and said
this would be a part of the overall storm sewer system in his
ward and he would suggest the action be taken speedily.
Councilman Starwalt said he was sure this was something that had
to be done at this time. ,
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to authorize the City Administration
and the City Attorney to enter into negotiations for the easement
of the ponding area for the area not to exceed $23,000. Seconded

Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Lie61 declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Lzebl sazd this should be put on the agenda on the £irst meeting
of August or on the 6tn.
The Finance Director said he would like some indication from the Council
as to how they feel about the assessment.
Mayor Liebl said he thought the procedure should be maintained as it
had been previously and not changed. He said he knew that the Ward
Councilman was also against changing the policy The Finance Director
said Councilman Breider had indicated he felt this way to him also.
Councilman Nee said he thought that Councilman Breider should be present
as this was in his Ward.
Mayor Lzebl asked the Finance ➢irector if there was some rush on the
matter? The Finance Director said it could be placed on the next agenda
if the Cauncil wished.
Mayor Liebl said the Ward Councilman was not present nor was the
Councilman At Large. Mayor Liebl stressed his thought that the assess-
ment policy should not be changed. The Finance Director said if the policy
was changed the City would have to call the other people in for a
Public Hearing.
Mayor Liebl instructed the Finance Director to place the item on the
next agenda.
DISCUSSION OF AREA TO BE ASSESSED FOR COST OF PROJECT N0. 102
Mayor Liebl read the memo from the Finance llirector to the City Manager
aloud to the Council.
Mayor Liebl said the people had been in and had also been assessed for
the overall assessments of the area. He said the question would be to
put in the improvements and assess the people for the improvements or
gzve them consideration for thezr completed system.
The City Engineer said there is a possibility of breaking down the
assessments. He said it may be possible to not assess those who reside
west of BasL River Road. He said there is opposition to the assessment
by these people for the improvements. The City Engineer said it would
be a matter of Council prerogative. He said Engineering wise, he could
present a case.
�SO
REGULAR COUNCIL ME�TING OF JULY 16, 1973

Mayor Liebl said he thought the storm sewer assessment of this area �
should have been £inal. He said the City did make a commitment to
the people. The City Engineer said the Council would have to make
the daterminat3on xegard�ng the benefit to the people west of the
East River Road. He added, Mr. Harris had made a strong statement
concerning the down stream improvements.
Mayor Liebl sa�d the City was trying to get the water across East
River Road and into the river. The City Engineer said the water
would drain into the creek which is in Lhis area. He said the Council
would have to decide if this new improvement would be a benefit to
the people west of East River Road.
The City Attorney explained the difference in the water tables of
the area stating in the area now being developed, there is a high
water taUle and the property is being developed as commercial and
industrial. He added, it could not have been developed if it was
not drained. He said if the improvements had not been put in,
Stonybrook would have taken care of the area naturally.
Mayor Liebl said the City had pushed the water thraugh there and
caused the pxoblem. Councilman Nee agreed.
Mayor Liebl said they had planned a system that was practical and
feasible. The City �ngineer said they had saved $200,000 on the '
pro�ect over the estimates of the time because of the sand fill
from Burlington Northern.
D4ayor Liebl said he tivould Iike to see the people west of East River
Road not assessed for this improvement.
Councilman Nee asked the City Attorney if he had prepared the proposed
Iegislation in regard to the request by the Council on the recent
law suit. The City Attorney said this would take some weeks to pre-
pare. Councilman Nee said it would cost the City some money, but
it would be worLh it.
MOT10N by Councilman Nee to authorize the Finance Department to pre-
pare the final assessment rolls, confining the assessments to the
persons in the assessment district east o£ East River Road. Seconded
by Councilman Starwalt.
Mayor Liebl asked if this area would drain into Stonybrook Creek.
The City Engineer said yes. The City Engineer said the system would
cost another 1/4 of a million dollars lf the creek was not used. Mayor
Liebl asked if the more expensive system were planned, the City
could assess the people. The City Attorney said this should be faced
when the City got to it. He said at the time of the Public Hearing
the people were told they would not be assessed. He said if this
does not work, something else would have to be done. He saj,d if so �
tfiey Would have to ca11 another hearing. Mayor Lieb1 said tTiey had
told the people they would not assess them again. He added, the
other Councilmen should be polled on the matter. The Finance Dir-
ector said this had not been done yet, but he would do it. Council-
man Starwalt said he wished the other members were present, if he
voted no, he would want to know if this would hurt the system.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 16, 1973

on the matter would be sufficient to approve the item

Liebl declared the motion carried two to one,
The Finance Director asked what would be done about areas B and C of
his memorandum.
The City Engineer said the City had hoped to get some money from Spring
Lake Park for this system, but the door had been closed. The City
Engineer said he would recommend another pipe be put in Alden Way
in case there is a block in the pipe or a back up by the river. He said
this way either outlet would be available. He said he would like a
pipe at a little higher level. The City �ngineer said this is what the
money is for.
The City Engineer said he did not think there would be a problem with
equal assessments of the whole area for this improvement He added, the
project was $200,000 less than the people had been told.
The City Attorney said before the assessment hearing, the Council should
� go on record authorizzng the proposed plan for the expenditures. He said
the Council would have ordered the work. He said if the members of the
Council would agree with the recommendatzons of the City Engineer, this
is what should be done.
Mayor Liebl said the C9ty Engineer said the area had already saved
$200,000 for the people of the East River Road area. He said the people
would be saving on the proposal put to them a year ago. He said he did
not want to make it hard on the home owner. He said he did not think
the people should be assessed.
MOTION by Councilman Nee to concur with the recommendations of the Finance
Director on points b and c of his memorandum to the City Manager on
July 12, 1973. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon a voice vote,

REGULAR COUNCIL b1EETING OP JULY 16, 1973 PAGE 9
Mr. Hill said there is a problem with the 24 hour limitatzon. He '
added, this would xnvolve three sh�fts of police officers who are
sub�ect to day changes also. He said the present situation is very
difficult to keep up with the necessary records. He said if some-
time within the 24 hours the wheels of the vehicle are moved, the
police could do nothang about the parking. He said he thought this
type of parking gave an unsightly appearance to the residential areas.
The Acting City Manager said he would like some indication of the
Council's feeling on the proposed change of limitation. He said if
the Council feels the time limit should be reduced, he would ask
them to authorize the City Attorney to look into the possit�ility.
Mayor Liebl said the Councilman At LaFge had brought. this matter
to his attention recently. He said there are semi-trucks parked in
residential areas for two days at a time.
The City Manager said this is right. If the vehicle was moved up the
street and back, they could park for another 24 hours. He said it
is very difficult for the police to keep track o£ whether or not the
vehicle is moved or not.
Mayor Lieb asked the City Attorney if he would look into the matter.
The City Attorney said this had been discussed at the Department Head �
meeting thut day and he had a question in regard to the type of
vehicle to be allowed within the catagory of commercial vehicles.
He said what about non residential areas? He also questioned the
meaning of commercial vehicles stating a lot of people have pick up
trucks. He said what about the the off and on street parking, would
there be a difference in thinking on the two? He asked what type
of vehicles would be ban?
Mayor Liebl said he had received complaints about big semi-trucks
being park<d in residential areas with heavy loads. He said he did
not think this would;be good for the street and he also thought it
is a hazard. He said he knew of five different occassions of this
type of parking. He said he would like the City Attorney to come
up with something that can be enforced and would hold up in the
courts. He said he would have no ob�ection to those who owned
pick up trucks parking or those who visited in pick up trucks parking
there. He said he does not like the parking of the large loaded
trucks over Saturday and Sunday.
Councilman Starwalt said he agreed. He said he would not want someone
to take the truck from one street and park it on another for another
24 hour period. He said there should be a definition on these poinfs.
Mayor Liebl said he had received calls fxom the £irst Ward and people
who think there should ba more sTxict regulations. He sa�d he knew �
of an accident which �as caused by a large truck parking on tfie street.

and reduce the limitatzon of parking time in residential areas.
Councilman Nee agreed asking the City Attorney to prepare an amendment
for consideration at the next meeting.
Mayor Liebl said he did not think a motion on the action would be
necessary.
RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION OF MAY 21, 1973:
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to receive the minutes of the Parks and
Recreation Commission meeting of May 21, 1973. Seconded by Councilman
Nee.
Councilman Nee questioned if the minutes are running this far behind
in reaching the Council's attention for approval? He said he had been
questioned by people concerning the Moore Lake study and had advised
these people there was no such study. He said now it appears there is
a study and has been underway for some time.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, �fayor Liebl declared the motion
carried unanimously.
� The Director of Parks and Recreation was asked by Mayor Liebl why the
minutes had been so late. Mr. Brown said this was an administrative
problem and the policy had been changed so that the minutes would be
out within five days of the meeting from now on. He said he hoped this
would answer their questions.
Mayor Liebl asked Mr. Brown if the statement that there was no contract
was correct? The Director of Parks and Recreation said this was
true, there is a task force study groupvarking on Moore Lake.
He said a member of the Parks Commission and Mrs. Lee Ann Sporre were
in the process of gathering information concerning the history of the
lake and what the problems would come to. He said they are �ust
accumulating information.
Mayor Liebl said he was aware that Mrs. Sporre had called the County and
asked for information. Mr. Brown said information is also being gathered
from studies made of Crooked Lake and Lake Calhoun. His refurbishing
ideas are coming forth. He said the study is focussad on how to bring
back the oxygen in the lake.
Councilman Nee said he had been asked why the City had ordered a con-
sultant and he had told them the City had not.
Mr. Brown said this is only a task force and there is no contract with
� any consultant. He said Brother Sullivan from Grace High School and
7�r. Don Savekoul wexe also T�elping in the project. He said the County
Health Board is also t��orking on the pro�ect. He said he thought the
studies had been made the previous week.

RECEIVING TH� MIIQUTES OF THE FRIDLEY HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION
�fEETING OF JUNE 28, 1973:
P40TION by Councilman Nee to receive the minutes of the Fridley
Human Relations Commission meeting of June 28, 1973. Seconded by
Councilman Starwalt.
Councilman Starwalt called the Council's attention to the last item
on the minutes which proposed the change in the requirement for a
quorum from ten members to six members. He said he did not feel any
quorum should be 6/15 of the membership. He said if there is no
quorum present, the members could make a recommendation for Council
approval. He said all items should receive equal consideration whether
or not there is a quorum present. He said the members of the Commission
should encourage the members to attend the meetings. He said they
had also talked about proxy votes, and even with this type of voting,
he did not feel the number required for a quorum should be reduced
from ten to six.
Mayor Liebl said he agreed with this. He said it should be at
least nine. He said he did not feel that six would constitute a
quorum. Mayor Liebl said it may be they have to write a letter
everytime there is a meeting to alert the membership. He said he
did not think it was a good idea to have the meeting in someone's
home. He said it would he appropriate to have public meetings in
City Hall. I-Ie said he thought the Commission could be critized for
this type of ineeting.
Councilman Starwalt said he agreed with this point. Councilman Nee
said he also agreed.
The City Attorney said he had been questioned by the Chairman of the
Commission and he had advised him that some bodies have less than
this for a quorum. He said the Chairman is concerned because there
are not any people coming to the meetings. He said he had knowledge
of groups with a lesser number constituting a quorum. The City
Attorney said this is one alternative, the other would be to allow
them to have a small number of people appointed to the Commission.
Councilman Nee said he thought it should be at least half of the
membership or eight members. Mayor Liebl said there should be nine
to have a quorum. He reminded Councilman Nee of the new appointment
as recommended by the High School that brought the membership up.
Councilman Starwalt said the Commission should strive for better
attendance at the meetings. He said he thought the proxy vote may
be appropriate with the quorum remaining about nine or ten. He
said he would recommend they maintain the number ten.
The City Attorney saxd he thought eight would be su�£ic�ent £or tI�e
quorum. He sa�d xt has taeen difficult �or tham to get a quorum pre-
sent at their meetings.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion
carried unanimously, and the minutes received.
