Councilman Breider questioned if the stipulations recommended were identical to those required in the original building permit. The Public 4dorks Director, i�1r. Richard Sobiech, explained that the first fourteen are the same and the fifteenth is an additional stipulation. He pointed out that this additional stipulation suggested that the skyway be constructed with a 13 foot clearance for traffic. He mentioned that the traffic from Osborne Road would enter the parking area under the skyway. h1ayor Nee asked if the construction would be owned by the group of doctors or the Hospital District. A representative of the Hospital addressed the Council and said this construction would be owned by the Hospital District, but in the future if this area would meet the building and zoning requirements, it could be sold to the doctors. The representative informed the Council that he had a model of the proposed construction along with the existing structure available at the present meeting. He;proceeded to point out all phases of the existing buildings and the proposed construction. Councilman Starwalt questioned if the 13 foot clearance would allow for the access and egress of the Fire Department ladder truck and Mr. Sobiech said yes. MOTION by Councilman Breider to approve the request contingent on the recommended 15 stipulations of the Building Standards-Design Control Subcommittee. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. (Note: This motion was amended later in the discussion.) Mr. Richard Harris, 6200 Riverview Terrace, addressed the Council and questioned the statement that the Doctors could purchase the construction within the present zoning. The City Manager said the present construction would be allowed under the R-1 zoning. He mentioned there had been soine problems in the financing of the construction and the facility is being leased rather than sold outright. The representative of the Hospital explained that on a portion of the property, the construction could be sold to the doctors, but on another portion, the construction would have to remain the property of the hospital district. t+lr. Harris questioned the minimum height of the overhead walkway stating that for clearance for trucks in constructions such as bridges the minimum clearance is 13.6 feet to 14 feet. He thought this should really be a clearance of 14 feet. Councilman Breider said he felt Mr. Harris had brought up a good point in that there may be an error in judgement at some time and it would be possible for a truck to take the incorrect route and become stuck under the skyway. MOTION by Councilman Breider to amend the motion by changing the 15th stipulation deleting the requirement for 13 feet of clearance and inserting the word "adequate" clearance. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Councilman Breider said he would not want to tell the applicant how to design the construction, but he would not want a truck stuck under the skyway sometime in the future. � � ' C�� � r � �I ' , � ' � , JPON A VOICE VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the' motion carried unanimously and the motion amended. � ( UPON A VOICE VOTE ON THE ORIGIfVAL MOTION AS AMENDED, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. , ' , �---------_ -- - ---- ------- -- ----- --- — � L�' ' ' � r � � , �� � , � ,� , � , ' ' Ij � REGl1LAR COt1NCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 1975 PAGE 7 RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 23, 1974: f�10TI0N by Councilman Starwalt to receive the minutes of the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting of December 23, 1974.

Mr. Tom Myhra, Cable Television Commission Member, addressed the Council and said he was standing in as representative of the Commission in the absence of Father Ed. Hel,�ointed oui to the Council that there was an error in the minutes of the Cable Commission in which they approve the rate schedule rather than recommend the approval of the schedule to the Counci7. Mayor Nee called on Mr. Schuster, General Televzsian, to present an explanation of the proposed rates. Mr. Schuster explained the various methods in which the studio and equipment would be available to ihe public access taping, He felt the rates would encourage the use of the facilities for public access and stated the proposed rates to be very inexpensive. He also stated that studio A is a color studio and studio B a black and white studio. Mr. Schuster explained within the requirements of the franchise, General Television was committed to allowing anyone to use the facility for a five minute time spot if this is requested. He further explained that this would be free access to the black and white studio. Ne pointed out that they would have to follow the regulations of the F. C. C. within this framework and not allow any detrimental presentation. Mr. Schuster pointed out that the use of the black and white studio had been extended for the time period of 30 minutes raiher than the five required. For groups the studio would be available for $3D per hour. Mayor Nee said the information presented does not include the fact that the free a�ss time would be allowed up to 30 minutes rather than the 5 minutes required. Mr. Schuster said they were in the process of preparing a booklet which wou7d fndicate the usage available. He also explained that it was their thought that if the requests for this free time would increase to the point where they.were no longer able to provide the total 30 minutes, this would be decreased as necessary without a firm conviction on the 30 minute allowance. Mr. Schuster continued to explain that he doubted if this situation would come to existance, but it would allow the Company to back down from the additional time if they could not handle the requests. Mayor Nee questioned if studio 6 could be used for 30 minutes free for pub]ic access and Mr. Schuster said yes, and after this time, the fee for the use of the studio would be $30 per hour. P�layor Nee asked if someone wanted to use studio B, would this include the camera crew and the recording tape. Mr. Schuster. said this would include the cameramen, technican and tape. Mr. Schuster said the tapes that would be used in this process would not be saved, but if someone wanted to buy the tape, it could be saved for closed circuit viewing at a later date. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 1975 PAGE 8 231 Mayor Nee asked which Channel this public access use would be presented on. i�ir. Schuster said this would be Channel 25. hir. Schuster pointed out that after this rate schedule is established, General Television would provide the public with workshops on the use of the facilities without charge. Mayor Nee asked if the air time is desired on Channel 3, would this result in a rate : schedule of $100 per hour. Mr. Schuster said yes. �le said Channel 3 is the local station and presently the air time b being presented as a public service, but eventually, they hoped that this would be supported by advertising. Mayor Nee commented that according to his experience, this was a low rate. Councilman Breider questioned the amount of subscribers at the present time and Mr. Schuster said approximately 175. Mr. Schuster continued to comment that he hoped the number of subscribers would pick up rapidly and explained that it had been difficult to obtain subscribers during the holidays.

He explained with the use of federal funds in the project, it is necessary for the City to adopt the statement that there would be no adverse effect on the recreational facilities in the area.

E.: The Public Works Director explained the building to be Tocated in the area North of 79th and West of Main Street. He said the representative of the Company, Mr. Peterson, was present at the meeting if the Council had any questions concerning the proposal. h1r. Sobiech pointed out that the zoning in the area is industrial and the building is a warehouse. Ne said the sales from the warehouse would be conducted on a Saturday and Sunday and he felt that the proposed use of the building and operation would be favorable to this type of zoning. Counci7man.Breider questioned the amount of square footage in the building. Ptr. Sobiech said the bulding contained 97,000 square feet. Councilman Breider asked the � amount of parking required for usage of a building of this type. The Public Works director determined on a commercial rate this would be a requirement of 1,164 parking stalls. ' hir. Peterson, Real Property Services, addressed the Council and said he represented the people who proposed the operation in the warehouse. He explained this proposal to be a ware house sales outlet of a unique nature and explained there would be as many as 100 businesses with sales of surplus or bargain type items on the weekends. � ' , � ' � r ' � , ' I i ' � ' Councilman Starwalt stated this is not an auction type operation. '1r. Peterson said no, it would be a discount or bargain type of set up. Councilman Starwalt asked if this wouid be for industrial use. :�ir. Peterson explained that this would be public ori.entated with a multitude of manufacturers and businesses selling materials and at bargain prices. �•ir. Richard Harris asked if the present zoning in the area was M-2 Works Director said yes. P1ayor Nee said the Council had received City Attorney indicating that the proposed usage would be allowed. and the Public an opinion from the The City Attorney explained that in an industrial area a warehouse is a permitted usage and there is a provision in the industrial zoning allowing incidential sales by industrial occupants which is now being permitted. Fle said either provision is allowed if they do not adversly affect the surrounding property and may be permitted. He referred to the operation of Wickes and Plywood Minnesota which is in industrial zoning with the same type of situation existant there. Fie said they are basically warehouses with sales out of the faciiity. Mayor Nee questioned how many acres of paving would be required for parking. The Public Works Director pointed out that the estimated requirement would be approximately seven acres, but the stipulation would require the applicants to acquire 20 additional acres for use if the need arises. Mr. Peterson addressed the Council and explained being this is a unique operation, they had not determined the amount of parking that would be needed at one time. I�e said with the stipulaiion for ihe acquisition of additional land, they would be able to provide up to 20 acres if it is needed. � Mr. Richard Harris questioned and availabi7ity of the area because of the traffic situation. Mrs. Lee Ann Sporre, 301 Ironton, if the proposed development would necessitate the extension of Main Street and the incorporation of additional signalization. Mr. Sobiech said no. He further stated that the streets in the area had been designed for additional traffic to meet the proposed usage specifications. The City Manager said he believed the points raised by Mr. Harris to be good points. The Czty Manager advised the Council that the Public Works Director had listed approximately 10 items that could be stipulation in conjunction with the proposal. Ne said the matters discussed at the present meeting had been reviewed and questioned by the Engineering staff also. He said he felt with the large scale parcel development such as was proposed, the adverse effects would be at a minimum in comparison io the current type of development with small several acre parcels. Ile explained his belief that the proposal has many favorable aspects with the �ility to plan the drainage of a large deve�opment and the reduction of traffic to weekends only. He felt the investigation of the question on the point of run off is well taken, but this had been questioned by the Administration also. Mr. Qureshi felt that the proposal 235 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 1975 PAGE 12 would provide a development in which the adverse effects of development of the area couldbe reduced in comparison to other types of operations. r�ayor Nee questioned if there was a question confronting the Council at the present time on the proposal. He asked the City Manager if he had brought the matter to the Council as a matter of advising them. The City Manager said this was correct. He explained that the applicant had submitted a letter to the City in the hope of gaining some indication on the proposal from the City before he went to the expense of preparing final plans. He explained that the final plans would have to be submitted to the various committees and come back to the Council. The City Manager said he believed the proposal is one that would work for the area. Mayor Nee asked Mr. Peterson if he would be willing to work out the questions of drainage and traffic with the City. Mr. Peterson said yes, he would be wi7ling to do this. He indicated this would be just as important for the business to solve, they would not want to live with a drainage problem. P�1r. Peterson indicated that in his discussions with the City Staff, al] of the restriction had been agreed to because they were mutually beneficial to the City and Company. Mr. Peterson listed several of the suggested stipulations and indicated he believed they were imperative for the business to follow to have a good operation. The City Manager said one requirement would be that if any additional right of way or improvements are needed for t1� area, he would like the applicants to agree to pay the costs. He said the parking plan and landscape plans would have to be submitted to the Subcommittees and Council for final approval. hiayor Nee questioned if there would be a need for the issuance of a special use permit. The City Manager said there are no provisions for a special use permit in this type of zoning. He said the action of the Counci] would be to issue the permit with certain conditions. The City Attorney advised the Council that there would be no provisions for the special use permit because this would be a permitted use. He suggested the requirement of a certificate of occupancy in this case stating he believed this to be a necessity. He said this would require the applicant to comply with the requirements before he is permitted to operate. The City Attorney continued ta explain that the various Boards and Committees could attach their suggested recommendations for parking and drainage, etc. and the Counci] could provide a formal agreement with the Company for compliance. He said this would prohibit the sale of any property, the sales of material on any other day besides the weekends and holidays without the approval of the Council. He said if the provisions of the agreement or certificate of occupancy are violated, the cerfiticate of occupancy can be revoked. Councilman Breider asked if there was a question before the Council at the present time that would take Council action. The City Manager recommended that at the present time the Council receive the communication. He said this application had been submitted by a large operation and he was concerned that they would understand their investment commitment and be aware of the requirements the City would want stipulated. Councilman Breider said the City had been working very hard in the area proposed for development. He said he would not want 20 acres of asphalt in any one area. Mayor Nee said the stipulation was to require the applicant to acquire the additional land in the case that it is needed at some future date. Councilman Breider questioned if this would be a dangerous precedent and he did not feel he would like to set such a precedent in this area. . The Public Works Director said the stipulation was not requiring the applicants to use this amount of land for parking, they were to acquire it in the case that at sometime in the future they would like to expand operations, it would be available. i�r. Sobiech pointed out that there is almost adequate parking surrounding the building at the present time. The Public Works Director said it was not known if the property to the east would ever be used for parking. i I — ---1 � `;` 236 � I � ' � � � �� � � � ' � I�� � ' � , � � L� - ----- __----, REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 1975 PAGE 13 � The City Manager pointed out that this would be the same requirements as Wickes, Plywood Minnesota and Holiday had complied with. The City Manager said he saw sane positive sides of this proposal, as he had indicated earlier. He said with the acquisition of the additional property, there would be some property to control the ' runoff. He suggested the creation of ponding areas mixed with the parking lot in the landscape plans. He also suggested that the additional acquisition could either be used for construction of parking facilities or additional building construction. � Ne said in this case the City would have the opportunity to control the adverse effects of runoff, and this factor could be incorporated at the time of planning. He mentioned this type of large development would allow for more control of the adverse effects than that of the development of smaller parcels with small buildings which are surrounded by a strip of parking stalls and a strip of landscaped area. ' Mr. Peterson said he felt the points of Councilman Breider were well taken. He ' mentioned the hope that the industrual area would indicate the requirement for the parking space, but in this case he was not at liberty to say. F(e again explained that this operation would be the only one of its kind in the Twin City Area. He also , said he was not wild about buying more land, but if it is necessary to the operation in the future, it would be better than forcing on street parking. He said it may be possible to get by with the existing parking pl��s the on street parking in the area, buth they would not want this and neither would the City. He said the additional acquisition would provide for additional parking if this is needed. Mr, Richard Harris again raised the point concerning the traffic in the area of Main Street and Osborne Road. He said he thought this matter should be reviewed by the Enrironmental Quality Commission and other Subcommittees. The City Manager said he felt this proposal had two positive aspects. He said the first was that the traffic into the area would be at an off peak period or on the weekends. Secondly, iie said, the development of a large parcel of land would allow some way of controlling the drainage of the area. He said there would not be 20 acres of parking lot, the area would be appealing with ponding areas and landscaping. He thought this could be planned so the area would be pleasing. Councilman Breider asked if there was some time table established for the project. Mr. Peterson indicated that they would like to go ahead with the plans at the present time. He mentioned the advertising budget which has been established in the arrtount of $lOQ,000. He said they would like to be operational in 30 to 60 days. Councilman Breider questioned when the next Planning Commission meeting would be held. It was indicated that the next meeting would be January 22, 1975. The City Attorney said it would be possible to grant conceptual approval at this time contingent upon the conditions stipulated. He said it would be possible for the Administration, Boards and Commissions to work toward satisfaction of the parking and drainage plans. He said the item could be sent to the Boards and come back to the Council with a final plan for approval. He mentioned the Engineering staff would have to do some work on the plans also. He said the plahs could include the need for immediate parking and also plans for expansion of the parking area if this proves to be necessary. He said if some decision is made on the conditions of development, this could be registered in a covenance with Anoka County, and these conditions could apply to the certificate of occupancy. He said the plans and satisfaction of conditions would have to be agreed to before any certificate of occupancy would be issued. Mayor Nee agreed with the points of the City Manager stating the larger the parcel, the more possible it would be to obtain an adequate drainage plan. He said this would be better than the development in fragments as is now being done in this area. . Mrs. Lee Ann Sporre said she believed this to be a problem area and thought there may be some problems in the drainage of the Stonybrook area. Mrs. Jan Seeger, 324 Ironton, thought the point concerning the development of a larger parcel was valid. She did question the matter of the additional traffic, The City Manager pointed out that the property is zoned for a certain use. He again ! explained that if the property is not developed in the proposed manner, it would be developed in small parcels with surrounding parking areas, etc. He again mentioned that if there was development of industry in the area, there would be additional traffic at all times, not just on the weekends. He said he thought the i City could work with this type of large development. � _.. . _. _._._.. __ .. . __ . ��( REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 1975 PAGE 14 MOTION by Councilman Breider to instruct the Administration to pursue the plans for the development as requested by Real Property Services, working out the drainage problems and keeping in mind that there wi71 not be 20 acres of aspha7t for the parking lot, and that the applicant work up a plan and present the plan to the Planning Commission on the 22nd of January and at the same time that the adjacent property owners would be notified and the property owners in the area of Stonybrook be notified so they can be present at the consideration of the project. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Mr. Dick Brama, owner of the building in question, addressed the Counci7 and said they are at the point in construction of the building where they would have to know how to finish the inside of the building. He said he felt in this case there was a hardship in that if this operation was not going to use the building, it would be finished in the speculative office warehouse style which would be different,than was the proposal at the present time. I-ir. Brama requested that the item appear at the Planning Commission the following evening because of this hardship. Mayor Nee questioned if an affirmative vote on the motion on the floor would be a general type of concurrence or conceptual approval. The City Attorney said if the property is developed in this line, plans would have to be presented. He said some indication of the Council's decision would be an aid to the applicant in which way to proceed. He suggested the applicant work with the Administration for formulation of the plans and modifications if this is necessary. He said this could be controlled with conceptual approval. Councilman Breider stressed that Mr. Peterson would have to come up with parking plans and drainage plans, etc. before there is any agreement on the part of the Council. He stated, the Council could just not agree to the development without some plans. . UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Olson, Real Property Services, addressed the Counci1 and questioned the time element they were facing. The City Attorney suggested that the developers and the owners of the building meet with the administrative staff the following morning. COMMUNITY SCHOOL INTERACTION: TOM MYHRA: Mayor Nee called on Mr. Tom Myhra to present a review of the Community School program to the Council. i�1r. Myhra explained that a committee had been formed and that there were three members of the City staff on this committee. He said he thought it would also be appropriate to have some representative from the City Council on this committee. He expressed the desire to involve the local school district and local government. He mentioned that everyone from preschool to the senior citizens could become involved in the Community School program. The City Manager pointed out that this program had been brought to the Council's attention several months ago. He mentioned that Mr. Peter Herlofsky, Administrative Assistant, Mr. Dan Huff, Naturalist/Resource Coordinator, and Mr. Paul Brown, Director of Parks and Recreation are presently members of thE Committee. He said he had originally talked to Mr. Hansen concerning the program and now Mr. Tom Myhra had been appointed as Director. Mayor Nee suggested that the matter be brought back for Council consideration of the appointment of a Council member to the Committee.

He added, a couple of the basements are in, but there had not been any work done on the properties for the past 120 days. The Public Works Director said his recommedation would be to declare the building permits null and void. The City Attorney explained there is a provision for one extension for 90 days, but this extension has been given and the time has ]apsed. Ne said there is no other provisions in the Code for any additional extensions. He said according to this, the Administration would have no choice but to declare the building permits null and void.

He referred to the consideration of the elimination of the ice I at Ed Wilmes Park and said there were several people in the audience concerned about this decision. He said before the meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission adjourned, a motion was made to drop the ice skating areas at Ed Wilmes Park and Plymouth. He said the people of the area are concerned about loosing this rink, and it was just the last year when they were able to get one in there. He said he had talked to many people in the area about this he had also talked to the City Manager. He thought the only thing that could be done is find the money someplace for this ice maintenance. He said when thepeople had called him concerning the continuance of the skating rink, he had directed the calls to Councilman Nee. I� ��;� MOTION by Councilman Breider to ask the Administration to leave Ed Wilmes Park in the plans for an ice skating rink and maintenance for this winter season. Seconded by � Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion � ; carried unanimously. ' � �� Councilman Utter said he would also like to comment on the matter of the girls broom- ball activities. He mentioned that the members of the Council had worked hard to obtain ice facilities and hockey rinks for Fridley. He said originally, the rinks were provided for boys playing hockey. He continued stating the girls have only one rink, Flanery. Councilman Utter said according to the minut:-.. of the Parks and Recreation Comnission, the girls had requested the use of another facility, Rice Creek School. Also, in the minutes it is stated by some that the girls wanted a warming house. He continued to explain that when the girls are playing broomball, they seldom need the - use of the warming house. He said another claim is that if the ice is used for broom- ball, this would allow for the straw from the brooms getting on the rink. i.ouncilman Uttter disagreed with this stating, the girls are required to use the best possible equipment and•this was not possible. i,ouncilman Utter explained that the participation in the hockey association is equal in number to what it had been in years past, but the number participating in hockey had decreased and broomball enrollement had increased. Councilman Utter said he believed the girls are entitled to as much as the boys. He stated, he thought the City should provide another facility for the girls broomball. MOTION by Councilman Nee to instruct the Administration to find one more sheet of ice for the use of the girls broomball teams. Seconded by Councilman Utter.

AND OF APPROVAL OF FINAL PLAT P. 5 TION OF OPERTY: . #74-02, GRACE HIGH SCNOOL ADDITIO� PERTY SOUTH Of GARDENA VENUE N. E.: EN CITY OF FRIDLEY AND GRACE HIGH S( The Public Works Director pointed out that the Planning Cormnission had recommended approval of the plat with a number of stipulations. hle said Grace High School agreed with the first three stipulations, but do not fully agree with the fourth stipulation. He continued to explain the disagreement being that the High School would like to enter into a five year agreement. Ne said at the present time, the City and High School are working on a month to month basis. He said the proposal and agreement would be cancelled upon notice from either party in the agreement at any point in time. He said another consideration would be that the City would like to use the Grace High School Tennis courts for tournaments. The Public Works Director said he felt the agreement should be a longer period of time with the clause for renegotiations and extensions in time periods. _ __—, .. � � � � � \ � � , � ' � � r i 216 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 16, 1974 PAGE 6 Councilman Utter said he believed Grace High School should pay the required amount for the park fee. He recalled that Miller, 0'6annon and Pine Tree Builders had all met this requirement. E�e said they did not have the chance of ineeting the requirements or � offering facilities. iCouncilman Utter said he could not buy the agreement proposal. He continued to state ' that if he would have come in with a proposal to plat 14 lots, he would have to pay the . park fee. He said this should be a permanent thing, not a month, five year, or ten year plan. He stated he believed the City should receive the money or some land to compensate for the park fee. The Public Works Director said at the present time, Grace High School is not in a position to compensate by giving land. He added, this is why the City had negotiated for the use of the facilities. Mayor Liebl said he would like to see the new Council work out the agreement with Grace High School. He mentioned they had worked hard on the plat and the City would have to be consistant and be practical for the City and the property owner. Fie also said the Council would have to be fair to the other people who had platted property in the City. The Public Works Director said he had been talking to the Grace High School representatives and they believed this was the most they could propose at the time. Mr. Gnerre agreed saying they were proposing their final agreement. Mr. Gnerre said it had been the Planning Commission recommendation that the agreement be reached for the use of the facilities in lieu of the park fee. The City Attorney said the agreement would be contingent on both parties being in agreement. fde commented this was a five year proposal and after this, both parties could get together on renewing it. Councilman Breider asked if there would be anyway that this could be more affirmative. Mr. Gnerre said he did not know of a way that the present school board could do the contracting for the future school boards. The Public Works Director said the second part of the agreement with some question is the fifth stipulation. Mr. Sobiech said the agreement proposed a five foot sidewalk easement east of Matterhorn Drive, south of Gardena Avenue and west of Arthur Street. The Public Works Director continued to exp}ain that the Bikeway/ walkway Committee had come up with a preliminary route selection and this did not coincide with the suggestions. He said they had suggested a route on Matterhorn Drive, not on the east of Matterhorn Drive, but on the west of Matterhorn Drive. He said he doubted if there would be a need for the installation of sidewalks on both sides of the street. The Public Works Director commented that there would not be a need for dedication of a sidewalk easement on Arthur Street because the roadway is 31 feet wide and the easement there is 60 feet, there would be no need for additional right of way. P�r. Sobiech said he would agree with the easement on the west side of Matterhorn Drive. 1 , Councilman Starwalt said he would be reluctant to approve the plat and negotiate the agreement after this. He said if Grace High School would agree to pay the fee of $300 per lot first, this would be satisfactory with him. He said he would like the answers to more of the questions first. �� � � ■ L._-- MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to approve the final plat as requested by Grace High School for the property south of Gardena Avenue N. r., concurring with the first three stipulations as recorrmiended by the Planning Commission, and contingent on agreement being reached on the fourth stipulation which was revised to require payment of the $4,200 park fee or, as an alternative, negotiate an agreement for use of recreational facilities at Grace High School in lieu of the park fee, and amending stipulation number five to state that a five foot sidewalk be provided on the west side of Matterhorn Drive and the south side of Gardena Avenue (dele,ting requirement for easement on Arthur Street) and that the assessments for the sidewalk be taken care of according to City policy. Seconded by Councilman Breider. The Attorney representing Grace High School addressed the Council and said it is his understanding that if the $4,200 park fee is paid, there will be no other conditions for the park requirement. lie stated that the stipulation for the sidewalk was in line with what they had suggested in their letter.to the City. Fie commented that the requirement to pay the $4,200 park fee with the option of ; � � , � � � ' 1 , � � � I � �' � r� \ ._ _ _ . . __ - --- - -- _ --�__ _� _ . . __- _ ---. _ __ � 2,l 7 ; i REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 16, 1974 PAGE 7 '. leaving this amount open for negotiations on an agreement would be fine. He further stated that if some agreement is not reached in a reasonable amount of time, they would pay the $4,200 park fee. He said at this time the plat would be approved. The Attorney continued to state that Grace accepted the first three stipulations as recommended by the Planning Commission, they were fine. It had been on numbers four and five where there was some questions. i � The Attorney for �race High School questioned how the cost of the installation of the sidewalk would be levied. Fle explained that in their letter to City they had requested that this assessment not be paid by Grace. Councilman Starwalt said he thought the sidewalk being on the residential side of the street would be assessed to the home owners. 'fhe City Manager informed the Council that Matterhorn Drive and Gardena Avenue were both State Aid Roads and the normal po]icy for this situation would be that the residential home owners would pay a normal rate for a residential street and the added assessments would be taken care of by other funds. Mr. i•lervin Herrmann, City Assessor, explained this would be the case in the residential areas. Ile questioned if this policy would apply for the other portion of sidewalk. Mayor Liebl said St. �Jilliams was assessed for sidewalks. He said he thought this � policy was only followed in residential areas. Mr. tlerrmann said this was correct. Councilman Starwalt said the City would have to take u.ction consistant with the policy. I•1r. Herrmann said the lots on the residentia� portion of the roadway would not be assessed for sidewalk, but on the south side of Gardena, Grace High School will be assessed. � UPON A ROLL CALL VOTE, ��layor Lieb7 voting aye, Councilman Utter voting nay, Councilman Nee wting aye, Councilman Breider voting aye, and Councilman Starwalt voting aye, ��layor Liebl•declared the motion carried four ayes and one nay. RESOLUTION N0. 130-1974 - APPROVING EXCHANGE OF PROPERTY FOR PARK PURPOSES: AND CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT WITH DAVID 0. HARRIS AND JANICE M. HARRIS _ FOR EXCHANGE OF PROPERTY IN HARRIS LAKE ESTATES FOR PARK PURPOSES: • The Public Works Director pointed out that item number five (Consideration of First Reading of an Ordinance Relating to the Sale of Real Estate Owned by the City) was to be discussed in conjunction with this item. - The Public Works Director referred the Council's attention to page 72 of the agenda and pointed out Lots 10 through 15 which had originally been needed by the City for ponding purposes. He said it is now recommended that Lots 12 through 15 be traded to Mr. Harris for Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Harris Lake Estates. He said this would allow for the installation of a larger park on the south of Mississippi Street. He said his recommendation would be that the Council approve the first reading of the ordinance authorizing the sale of Lots 10 and 11, Block 6, Oak Grove Addition at this time also. He also recommended the adoption of the resolution to trade the properties. He said the City's acquisition of Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Harris Lake Estates would increase the size of the park in this area. The City Attorney said if the Council takes action to adopt the resolution which would authorize the trade of property, the ordinance for the sale of property should be changed to read, "Lots 10 through 15, Block 1, Oak Grove Addition." He added the reason for this amendment would be that the City would be selling all of the lots even if the sale of Lots 12 through 15 would be by trade. Councilman Starwalt recalled that in the original discussions on the plat of Harris Lake Estates, that the property owner to the east of Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Harris ' Lake Estates did not want the park property to abut their property. He mentioned � that there had been some agreement in this area, and thought this could be worked out. Mr. David Harris addressed the Council and explained that this was the Gonsior-property and his original negotiations with these people brought about the people indicating they would rather have a residential structure or a house next to their home. He : explained their fear to be that saneone would drown in the pond. He said this area was shown as residential area on the preliminary plat because of the Gonsiors' wishes. Mr. Harris said Councilman Utter had expressed the desire to enlarge the park and , this is the reason for the current proposal. Councilman Starwalt said he was in agreement with the proposal for the trade of i --- --- _ .._____ _� 0 � ' , ' r, ' � , , ' ' � � ' , r ' t_ _l r- -- -_. . ' 218 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 16, 1974 PAGE 8 prnperties and enlargement of the park. Councilman Starwalt questioned if this was equal area in trade. Mr. flarris said the area of the land would be approximately equal, but not in value. Mr. Harris said according to appraisals he had received, the lots on the lake would have a higher value because of the view of the lake. He also stated that the lots in Oak Grove Addition are surrounded by older homes and this would be another factor in considering the value equality. Mr. Dennis Schneider asked what the current value is of the lots in Harris Lake Estates compared to those on Fridley Street. The Public Works Director said he had worked with the City Assessor on this and the figures for the value of the lots had come out very close. P1r. Herrmann agreed and stated they were very close. Mrs. Lee Ann Sporre, 301 Ironton, questioned who had the lots filled. The Public Works Director said these lots were filled by being used as a disposal site for the construction of the street improvement on Mississippi. Mrs. Sporre said then, the City filled them. The Public Works Director said the contractor filled them. fle exp]ained it is up to the contractor to dispose of the excess fill and if a site can be designated by the City for the disposal of this fill in the immediate area, this lessens the cost of disposal by saving time and traveling expense for the contractor. He said this would mean a savings of money on the street improvement projec t and saving on the contractor's expenses. MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to waive the reading of the ordinance and adopt the ordinance on first reading changing the wording to "Lots 10 through 15, Block 6, Oak Grove Addition". Seconded by Councilman Utter: Upon a roll call vote, Councilman Utter voting aye, Councilman Nee voting aye, Councilman Breider voting aye, Councilman Starwalt voting aye, and Mayor Liebl voting aye, t•tayor Liebl declared the motion carried and the first reading adopted.

Councilman Nee said in his conversation with the Police Comnissioner, he was advised that the Police Comission would 7ike an opinion on this question from the Attorney General. The City Attorney said he had done some research on whether the City can abolish a position.for economical reasons. He said perhaps, he had mininterpreted the letter from the Police Commission. He said his opinion was that this position could be abolished without a hearing. The City Attorney said he had tried to contact Mr. � Warren Spanus that day, but was unable to reach him.

HERRICK Mr. I3asim Qureshi City Manager City of Fridley 6431 University Avenue N.E. Fridley, Minnesota 55432 Dear Mr. Qureshi: January 3, 1975 316 EAST MAIN STREE7 ' ANOKA, MINNESOTA 55303 421-5413 6279 UNIVERSITV AVENUE N.E. FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA 55432 560-3850 FIRST STATE BANK BtJILDING COON RAPIDS,MtN�F1.55433 755-1330 This letter is in response to your telephone inquiry of this date. You have advised me that an application has been made to the City of Fridley hy a group of people who wish to acquire an existing warehouse which is located on property zoned M-1, light industry. As I understand the progosed use, the property is to be used basically as a warehouse. However, the individuals involved wish to perrnit the warehouse occupants to have certain limited sales of the products storeel in the warehouse. Primarily these sales are to be held on weekends. You have asked me for my legal opinion as to whether the above activity is author�zed by the Fridley zoning code, particularly section 205.13, which deals with permit uses on industrial property. Based on the facts that have been presented to me, I am of the opinion that this use is consistent with the terms of the zoning code. In section 2Q5.131 H, warehouses are permitted in M-1 property. In subsection I of the same section, there is also permitted"other serv�.ce uses which are similar in character to those enumerated above, wi1.l not be dangeraus or otherwise detrimental to persons residing or working in the vicinity thereof, or to the public welfare, and will not impair the use, enjoyment, or value of any progerty". Also in the same section under accessory uses is a provision that permits retail sales or servicing of products manufactured. While this section does not speeifically say that retail sales or servicing of products warehoused is also permitted, I would be of the opinion that inasmuch as warehousing is permitted within this section, that the accessory or secondary sale of those products caould be permitted. I would point out to you also that the city has previously approved Plywood Minnesota and Wicke`s Furniture for occupancy on M-1 property. Both of these operations are essentially the same as the one described above, that is basicially a warehouse with secondary sales. The proposed use being limited to weekends would be even more secondary than in the other operations just mentioned. a , -2- A� a practical matter, if the sales are to involve a substantial number of people, I believe that the city would be we11-advised to require a parking ratio based on a commerc�.al use or at Ieast a ratio somewhere between what would be required by a purely industrial operation and a commercial operation. I trust that the abave answers your inquiry. If you have additional questions, please contact me.

On December 2, the City Council directed the City Attorney to pre,�are a written opinion on Section 410.12 of the Minnesota Statutes relating to turning a petition, such as this, over to the City Council or the City Clerk's office. � At the December 9th meeting, the City Attorney rendered his opinion to the City Coun�il in a memorandum dated December 9, 1974. The City Attorney stated the Charter Commission should transmit the petition to the City Clerk to determine whether it contains a sufficient number of valid signatures. '' The petition had physica]ly been ]ocated in the City's vault for safekeeping for sometime, even though the petition had not officially been turned over to the City Clerk's office or the City Council. On the evening of December 16th, Ray Sheridan, , Chairman of the Charter Corrmission, contacted me regarding the petition and staied that we should consider the pe�ition as having officially been turned over to the City Clerk's office. We made a check of the voter registration files at th� County Court House as of December 18, 1974 and find the following: Total Number of Names on the Petition 635 To�al Number of Names Counted who are Registered Voters 545 � Questionable Signatures 12 Not Registered 78 TOTAL 635 At the last Statewide General Election (November 5, 1974) 8,856 votes were cast. Section 410.12, Subdivision 1 of the Minnesota Statutes requires that a petition such as this must contain valid signatures equal to at least five percent of the total number of votes cast at the last Statewide General Election (November 5, 1974). � Five Percent (5%) of 8,856 Registered Voters is 443 Therefore using the count of the November 5, 1974 election and the count of regis- tered voters as of December 18, 1974, the petition does contain more than the I' required five percent valid signatures.

CITY MGR,/FIN, DIR, SUBJECT: BACKGROUND MATERIAL ON ��1Y MEMO OF DECEMBER 18, 1974 RELATING TO PETITION � DATE: DECEh1BER 20, 1974 In my memo of December 18, I stated that we officially counted the Petition as of December 18, 1974. We used the November 5, 1974 Election as t`�e last General Election. The General Election used has some significance because of the fact if the November 7, 1972 General Election were used as the last General Election, the Petition would require more signatures. At the November 7, 1972 Election, 11,7b7 people voted. Five percent of this figure is 588. If the November, 1972 date were used, the Petition would not contain sufficient signatures as it now stands. The law does provide that the petitioners be given ten days to secure additional signatures if the Petition is found insufficient. The total number of votes cast at the November 5, 1974 Election was 8,856. Five percent of this figure is 443. We did count the names on the Petition unofficially prior to the November 5, 1974 Election. TOTAL SIGNATURES OF REGISTERED VOTERS QUESTIONABLE SIGNATURES NOT REGISTERED TOTAL NUMBER OF SIGNATURES ON PE1'ITION FIRST COUNT �ECEMBER 18 COUNT 527 12 96 635 545 12 78 635 The date of the count is not of great significance as no matter which count is used there are sufficient names on the Petition if the 1974 6eneral Election is used as a base point, and if the November 7, 1972 Election is used as a base point, neither count would be sufficient.

The purpose of this mee�ing by the Commission was to see if there would be a pos�tion or point where the Commission might change the original proposed amendment to Section 2.05 that would satisfy both the Charter Commission and the Committee of Petitianers. I believe the discussion was frui�ful, and the members of the Cammittee of Petitianers who were present are p7anning to meet with the Charter Commission at our next meeting, January 14. The members of the Committee af Petitioners and Charter Commission did agree that possibly some additional a�ordage could be added to the pe�ition to make a better amendmen� to the Charter by spelling out some time factors that are important. � i'he Comnission cannot recommend to the Council the petition as it was subm�tted, as the petition is not in arder in all t�ays. I understand a special election must be held to satisfy the request by the petition, and if this be the case, the Corr�nission would ask that the electian date be set so that the proposed amendments '� by the Charter Commission could be submitted to the voters at the sam� eiection. It would be my hope that there would be enough time so the Council could again reviev� these proposed amendments, ��old the necessary hearings, and passibly act , on some, if not all by Ordinance, and those not accepted by Council could be placed before the voters at this special election. � At the December 30 meeting, the members discussed the possibility �f the petition was not sufficient, and that at the meeting of January 14 possibly they could work out a proposed amendment �o Chapter 2, Section 2.05, that could be included in �� the Charter changes, and by doing so, satisfy the petitioners without more money and iime on their part. i� Gentlemen, these comments are what I extracted from our meeting. I will present these views to the Charter Commission members on January 14: ' > TIf�IE T�1dLE FOR ELECTIO�J FOR CHARTER AMtPJDMCNT 35 Days before the Eiection Date tne judges must be se1ected. 3Q Days before the Eiection Date the registration notice for the Closing of Registration must be completed. 25 Days before the Election:;Date and Notice of Eiection must be prepared_ 5 to & Weeks i s needed before tf�e E1 ecti on Date for tl�e preparati on of the ballots and the pr-inting.

Ztao main points were made during the discussion. I� Mr. Drigans commented that the members of the Planning Commission did not think that there was a place for the FEQC on the Planning Commission. Mr. Drigans felt that unless the FEQC has a petition process it should not be a member of � the Planning Commission. The members of the FEQC and some of the other guests felt that the FEQC should be a member of the Planning Commission. There was a general. consensus that there should be a phrase added to Ordinance 121 � (which sets up the FEQC) that the chairman of the FE QC should be a member of the Planning Comcnission. � The decision was reached that the FEQC must look ouer the city cod� and write new ordinances and policy statements as they pertain to the F�Q�.

The Plannin� Commi.ssion is not maae up of a limi�ed number of chairs as are other comm�.ssions. • The Planning Comm�_ssion is charged with the responsibility for con- tinuous community plannin��. Community plannin� must in this decade of the seventies ;_nclude as one of its prime concerns the total environment of the Community. The Chairman of ttle Parks and Recreation Commission is appoin'�ed by the Code as a meml�er of the Planning Commission. The Parks and Recreation Commission is rrot a sub-commit;tee of the PZanninb Commission. The Chairman of tlie Fridley Environmental Quality Commission (rEQC) � is not appointed by code as a member of the Plannin� Commissicin. The FEQC is not a sub�-committee of the Plannin� Commission. J � ' � I � Is it to be assum��d that the FEQC is of less importance to the City of Fridley and ar�° Parks and Recreation. Is it to be assum�d that an Environmental commission has less to offer than does Parks and Recreation. � Is the environment of Fridley important enouoh so that it should be at all times considered as a part of the future plannin� of Fridley. Can the FEQC have a useful input into the plannin� o£ the City if they only receive inf ormation after the fact and are not allowed to vote on an issue at hand even if it may vitall;� affec� the environ.ment. If the rE�C is not to be allowed a seat on the Plannin� Commission; iz° the i�E:�C is not to be allo�ved to help rnake decisions about the �'uture of i�ridley; and, because the environrnen� encompasses all phases of a city's 1�� fe and is beco;r:-� n� more .and more important as population in- ereases, noise inereases, open space decreases, ef;c.; perhaps then a11 decisions and conclusions of other commissions and sub-comrr.ittees should be routinely routed to the Environmental �uality Commission for tneir bindin� ap�roval and acceptance and i'orwarding to the City Council. I wou.ld no� prefer �o see��he above happen. The Plannin� Commission is an Excellent commissi.on and has done an excellent job for tlze City of i�rld].ey in its plannin;; to date. However, as Fridley and the world groti�l, more and more thin�s have �o be taken ihto consideration. A person who has mu.de the environmen� his special knowled,�,e would be of invaluable aid to the Plannin� Commission in formin;; and decidin� upon pollcy, A Environmental �uality Commission which can be ignored or not used at all i.s of little value to anyone.

Ed, John Haines, George Zeglen, Tom Myhra, and Barbara Hughes OTHERS PRESENT: °:erry Shuster, Clyde Moravetz, Sarah Hayes, Anita Benda, and iial Brown Fr. Ed opened tf�e meeting at 1:35 p.m, MOTION BY TOM MYHIL� TO ACCEPT THE MINUI�S OF THE SEPTEMBER 13, 1974 MEETING. Seconded by George Zeglen. Upon a voice vote, the motion carried unanimously. Fr. Ed said the main item for the agenda would be the discussion of the public access channels, and asked if everyone had studied the material �eceived by Anita Benda. Fr. Ed said he particularly liked the Austin draft, Mr. Shuster said in their investigations between the two drafts, most of the provisions that are in the teleprompter draft have been incorporated into the Austin draft, with the exception of Austin's inclusion of the community review board. They made comparisons between the Austin and E. Lansing Michigan draft, Terry Shuster sumniarized the video tape process. He said if socneone was to produce video tape on public access, General Television would like to.see S;t at least three days in advance to check for technical quality to make sure it is compatible Frith the company's equipment. It would also be checked for the normal type of: things such as illegal or pornographic material. Fr. Ed asked how stringei�t Minnesota laws were on gambling, lottery, e tc,. Anita Benda said she would che:ck into it. Terry Shuster pre:�anted a booklet to the eommission and read aloud the material ' . contained in sect:Con 405.225, Cablecasting rates for all educational, library, governmental and �.ion-profit community organization users. Mr. Shuster said they would charge time fox the leasing of the studio facilities, and said they , had produced some rates and would like to hear from the commission as to their reaction to these rates. He said they would have to be approved by the commission and the City before selling commerical advertising in local origination. Mr. Shuster personally felt the rates were very low, but felt they had to start 1 with something in order to obtain subscribers. rlra Shuster explained the rate charges in detail and gave reasons for various charges, ' Fr, Ed questioned what the costs were for the services of a technician. Mr. Shuster said they could not get by with less than $5 an houro Mr. Shuster • explained the equ.ipment was worth a quarter of a million dollars and the equipment � must be maintained. Mr. Shuster said he wou2d like to get these rates to print so they could di:;tribute them for commercial purposes. MOTION BY TOM MYfdtA TO APPROVE THE RATES AS SHCIWN. Seconded by John Haines, Upon a voice vote:, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Shuster intr<�duced Sarah Hayes, public access director for the Fridley system. I� Mr. Shuster said they had ant�icipations of getting enough groups involved with t � '�] � 'Chem sa they r.an t��ain their awa people to do their own work so tE�ey won't have ;� any costs. These people can come in and utilize the equipment and �he faci2ity � in an allotted time: after they have iearned how to operare-the cameras asid video t tape machine. � � � ' � i -, � Mr. Shuster referr�:d to seation 4fl5.276, Miscellaneous provision, City franchise. He also read a letl:er rhat woulci be sent tc� ever� subscriber 3� the City thanking them and indicatin�; the responsibility they have tn Lh� City. Mr. Shuster's idea was for pubii.c access to f�surish, buL ta fl.rnir3.sh they have to g�t the commun.i�ty groups involved wiih them, garticipate, iearn how to us$ the equipment so tJ.�e company will not have to use aIl oi their personnel that are obligated to other diities. Tom Myhra asked if the government channels allowed for video production, such as City Council video taping on a Thursday evenino and bringing it over to the studio to put it on the air. Mr. Shuster said they certainlq could do this. The idea of �ducatiQnal and governmental purposes is to produce shows awap from the facility with thcir own equipment and bring it back to the studio to play. Mr. Shuster said they wanted education and goverriment production along with public access which has priority. The premise is that thep would produce on their own and put it on the air at a scheduled time. Mr. Shuster said they wauid Iike to train a person from the schoflis and the government to run �the shows back. Possibly the city could have 4 or 5 porta pacs available so people could produce their own shows and bring them into the public access director. Mr. Shuster said it was his idea to utilize the system, since they have the money invested. 7'hey did not want to discourage programming. � The commission di.,cussed the "Roles for public access channels." Mr. Shuster said they wanted t:o set up some guidelines for the publie access director to follow. Sarah Hapes said she dzd not want to have all of the power or rzsponsibility, � it would be helpftil to have some stipulations. Mr. Shus�er said they could not tell the people wtiat to do on pnblic access, the company would hope they would use it as an expe��iment wi�t� some guidelines. The rules should be made flexible. , , � � � A ler�gti�y discuss:��r� �aas held specifiaally on public access channels, number 3(d) stating, "Materia:t which identifies anp product, service, trademark or brand name in a manner which is not reasonably related to the non-comznercia� use of such product, service, trademark or brand name on the program." Mr. Shuster felt they should leave that section as it is and if a problem arises pertaining to this matter, they could use common sense as a decision. Mro Myhra suggested that a clause be added at the end of the rules stating that they can be subject to review after.a certain length of time, such as 6 months to a year. All the commission members agreed. Discussion was held on time slots and various procedures which could be used in setting up a schedule. Anita Benda gave sc:�e examples of having two nights a week £ox regular scheduled time and having the.rest of the•time open. Sar�h_Hayes suggested concentrating on one night a week f or programming, such as Tuesday being public access night. Mr. Shuster said they would set up a regular schedule at a regular time slot to build up continuity. The committee discussed the possibility of a complaint review board, and Mr. Shuster reported the reasons for such a program which would involve three members of the CATV Comcni.ssion. ' � • .�.�-�-�i Fr. Ed asked Mr. Sh.uster if he coul� prepare a draft from what the commission has approved by resubmifiting it to members of the commission. If there is something the members wbuld like to add or correct to it, a meeting could be held or members of the commission could relate this to Fr. Ed and he would contact Mr. Shuster as to the suggestions. Mr. Shuster said he would have this s�nt to Che me:mbers within a couple of weeks. Then it will be sent to FCC.

BOARD STAMP) � December 19, Z974 The Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Fridley 643Z University Avenue Northeast Fridley, Minnesota 55432 Gentlemen: in a�.r. REFER TO: � I am writing to you to request that we be authorized to recruit one of the employee's of your City Hall to act as a volunteer registrar for the Selective Service System. � ' � � � ' � � i � I , �� F'erhaps you are not aware that the Selective Service System i�; still in existence. Notwithstanding.considerable and wide spread misunderstanding and confusion in the press and in trie minds of many people, the ongoing mission of the SelectivE� Service System in a period of zero draft continues. The duty for all male citizens to register at the time they become 1,13 years of age is a continuing feature of the Military SelectivE� Service Act, notwithstanding the expiration of inductiot� authority. The Selective Service is acting as the ^STANDBY h1A�HINERY^ in the event of a national emergency. 13ecause we are acting as a standby, we have greatly reduced the number of offices that we have. During the authority to induct, we had 83 offices in Minnesota and since the authority to induct has expired, we now have only 10 affices in the State. This is why it is imperative that we ^recruit^ volunteer registrars throughout the State. Our office in Robbinsdale serves the North and Glestern parts of Nennepin County, as well as Chicago, Wright and Anoka Counties. GJe have close to 60� volunteer registrars in Minnesota. I have personally recruited volunteer registrars in the City Halls of Golden Valley, Hopkins, Farmington and Wayzata. In most instances this act is performed by the Receptionist. To register a young man takes about 5 minutes, and we always instruct, the registrar not to let the registration interfere with thE�ir compensated duties. The Honora.ble Mayor and �ity �ouncil Page 2 �A I1' this request is acted upon favorably, it will not only k�e a very beneficial service for the Selective Service System, b�at will be a.valuable service to the young men of your City and wi11 alleviate these young meh having to drive great disi:ances to register. I would guess that there will be from 1 to 10 young men a week that would take advantage of this sE�rvice. Yc�ur cooperation in this matter will be most greatly appreciatF�d. • Sincerely yours, ��'�/,%'1 ��'��G�"�i-�r-�L�' ,/�Junior K• Andersen, Executive Secretary MEMO T0: Nasim M.

Sobiech, Public Works Director DA7E: Decf:mber 9, 1974 SUBJECT: Res��lutions and Execution of Technical Assistance Agr�eement and Annual Agency Agreement for 1975 Attached �or Council consideration is the referenced material. This material is the standard action required by the State of Minnesota in order to provide requested technical assist- ance to the City and the assigning of responsiblity for Federal projects if ariy would occur an City streets. In the past the agreements ha�re not been required by the Minnesota Highway Depart- ment, but due to a change in procedural policy they would ]ike these added t�� the annual resolutions. It should be noted that previously the Annual Agency Agreement was something more appropriate for counties, however, the Highway Department now requires municipalities to execute the agree- ment also.

E. in Fridley, and introduce you to the principal peo�,fe of the business. i � Essentially, the building will be u§ed as a warehouse sales outlet for�a multitude of businesses. For example, if a manufacturer or a retailer had excess or distressed merchandise to sell, they could use this warehouse out— let to sell therr merchandise. Each seller will have his assigned.area to do his o�vn selling or he may consign his merchandise to be sold or auctioned. The sales will he held exclusively on weekends except for the possibility of an occasional holiday or weekday sale. This cooperative type warehouse selling will be done on a high plain, pro— viding both sellers and buyers with a unique merchandising opportunity. It is anticipated that this business will require more than average parking facilities; consequent�y, the owners will be buying adjacent land for par— king as outlined. The main principals involved in this new venture are Ross K. Pe�tersen of il ' Minneapolis and Witliam J. Olsen of Edina. Mr. Petersen is the majority stock holder of Medalie Manufacturing and is a man of high integrity who also has extensive real estate holdings. Mr. Olsen is also a man of high standards whose principal business has been managing his extensive real ' estate holdings. � � � � I hope this basic data will provide you with adequate information.

COON RAPIDS,MINN.55433 �'S5-f330 Re: AbolisYiment of Office of Chief of Police t The Fridley City Council has xequ�sted m�r legal opinion on certain questions relating.to the abolishment of the office of the Chief of Police. This request emanates from a written request by the Fridley Police Civil ' Service Commissian in which they raised certain questions regarding the effects of said terntination. Specifical2y, the Civil Serv�.ce Gom�ission ask the following three questians: ' ' ' 1. Does the City Council have the authority to abolish the office of Chief of Police? 2. If the an.swer te No. 1 is affirmative, does the action automati.ca�ly terminate the employment of the present employee? 3. If the ans�ver to No. 1 is affirmative and the answer to No. 2 is negative, does said employee have the right to employment at the next lowest rank in the departmertt? I have d�ne a substantial amount of research on the above questions, including examination of Minnesota Suprem� Court cases, Supreme Court cas.es of other jurisdictions, and Attorney General's opinions. I have also dis— cussed this matter with members of the Attorney General's staff and with legal counsel for the Minnesota League of Municipalities. Based on this research, my opinions are as follows. � I am of the opinion that the City of Fridley does have the authority to abolish the office of Chief of Police. The leading case in Minnesota is State ex rel. Niemi v. Thomas et al, 27 N.W.2d 155 (1947). In this case, the Supreme Court of Minnesota held as follows: ' "The village council, having created in the exercise oi its discretionary statutory powers the position to which it appointed relator, had the power to abolish the position. ' The power to create an office or position carries with it the power to abolish it. State ex rel. Verbon v. County of St. Louis, 216 Minn. 140, 12 N.W.2d 193; 37 Am.Jur., , � I° � LJ _2_ ' Municipal Corporations, 5� 227; 43 C.J., Municipal Corporations, § 977. Veterans' preference statutes, under which veterans have preference rights to tenure � of a position, do not prevent the bona fide abolition of the pasition. State ex rel. Boyd v. Matson, 155 Minn. 137, 193 N.W. 30; Annotations, 4 A.L.R. 2Q7, ' and 37 A.L.R. 816. Hence, neither ss� I97.45 and 197.46, providing for veterans` preference in the tenure of public positions, nor relator's rights tfiereunder to ' preference in tenure of the position in question pre- cluded the village council from in good faith abolish- ing the position." ' Another leading Supreme Court case on the same suhject is Fricke et al v. City of Grand Rapids et al, 270 N.W.2d 697 (1936). In this case, the court also held that a municigality have the authority to atiolish a ' position. "Authorities universally sustain the proposition that a ' city can dismiss a civil service employee by abolishing the position which the employee halds. Smith v. Flint City Commission, 258 Mich. 698, 242 N.W. 814, and cases cited therein; and that a city may abolish a position ' for bona fide reasons of economy, Slavin v. Gity of Detroit, 262 Mich. 173, 247 N.W. 145. It is conceded by plaintiffs that if an office or position in the city , government is abolished for bona fide reasons of economy, the holder of that position is not entitled ta a hearing before the civil service board under the civil. service provisions of the city charter; and that the city manager ' is the person to decide how many patrolmen should be at any given time in the police department." ' The rule is well stated in 37 Am.Jur. 858 as follows: � ' ' ' 1 ' "Tenure of office statutes and civil service statutes do not prevent a bona fide abolition of the office hy the municipality. Moreover, statutes to protect the tenure of office of veteran soldiers and.sailors will not prevent the abolition of municipal offices." Having answered the first question in the affirmative, the question is then asked, does the action automatically terminate the employment of the present employee. My answer to this question is also in the affirmative. In the case of Niemi v. Thomas cited above, the plaintiff Niemi brought an action in mandamus against the City of Hibbing to compel the city to reinstate him in his former position. The Supreme Court held that the City Council had the right to terminate the position and that the plaintiff was not entitled to reinstatement. Likewise, in the case of Fricke v. City of Grand Rapids, the plaintiff Fricke and ather discharged employees brought an action for � � ' 1 ' ' ' ' ' ' ' f� ' ' u LJ � ' � , -3- mandamus to compel the city to reinstate them in their former positions. The results of this case were the same as in the previous case; that is, the position of the city was upheld. It is not necessary, therefore, to answer the third question; that is, does the employee �have the right to employment at the next lowest rank in the department. HowEVer, I am of the opinion that said employee would not have this right. There is nothing in the Fridley City Charter or Fridley City Ordinances giving an incumbent office holder whose office is abolished the right to preempt another persons position. Like- wise, there is no such authority in the Minnesota Civi� Service Act or the Veterans' Preference Act. It has been held that were a reduction in force is to be effected, veterans are to be given preference over no�.-veterans of a similar standing, but that a non--ve�eran having seniority would take preference over a veteran. However, it is my opinion that this circumstance arises only on a reduction of force of equal employees and is therefore nat germane to the above situation.
