RECEIVING PETI7ION N0. 1-1975 - REQUESTING CHARTER AMENDMENT IN SECTION CONCERNING
COUNCIL VACANCIES:
The City Manager, �ir. Nasim Qureshi, explained that the petitioners felt there
should be a special election for the filling of vacancies in the Council rather
than by Council appointment. He informed the Council that according to the report
prepared by the�City Clerk, the petition does contain 5Y of the registered voters
in the City and it is a valid petition. The City Manager said the petition had
been submitted to the Charter Commission and they in turn had submitted it to the
City. Mr. Qureshi referred to the report from'the Chairman of the Charter Commission
and said the officers of the Charter Commission had met with the circulating committee
of the petition. The City Manager advised the Council that the current action should
be to recei:a the petition.
The City Manager pointed out the Council's alternatives for action at this time
indicating one to be taking the petition under advisement and waiting for a
recarrmtendation from the Charter Commission. He said if there would be some agreement
and concurrance on a Charter Amendment between the circulating committee and the
members of the Charter Commission, this amendment could be submitted to the Council
and can be adopted by ordinance of the Council which would amend the City Charter.
He said the other altermative is that if this concurrence is not reached between
the members of the Commission and/or not adopted by the Council the matter would
have to be put to a special election and have the citizens decide.
The City Manager again stated that if the matter does not reach agreement, this
' , would have to be put on the ballot and if this is the case the administrafiion
should start preparing to put this on the ballot. He mentioned if some agreement
is made concurrent to this process, the process can be stopped at any time.
�
L__!
Mayor Nee questioned if the City Attorney had prepared the time table submitted
to the Counci7 that evening. The Gity Attorney said no. The City Manager stated
the C]erk's Office would need five to six weeks to prepare for a special election.
The City Attorney suggested he and the Finance Director get together and comple
a time table for the necessary period of time and present this to the Council the
following week.
Councilman Breider said it appeared to him by the memo submitted by Mr. Sheridan that
' the Commission and the circulating committee are in the process of reaching some
agreement on the amendment. 1�e S� if they can agree on some workable wordage and
strike some compromise, why should the City spend the money and print the ballot
I as it will not be needed.

RESOLUTION N0. 2-1975 - DESIGNATING TIME AND NUMBER OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETINGS:
Mayor Nee said he had a proposal for the Council's consideration. Ne suggested that
the fourth Monday, �ihen available, be used for a conference meeting which would
be an informal meeting held in the Community Room of City Hall. fie suggested this
be in conference form between the Council, public and various Department Heads.
Fle felt that this would enable the citizens to have some dialogue with the City
Staff. Mayor Nee said at this proposed meeting, there would be no definitive action
taken by the Council.
Mayor Nee said his idea would be that there would not be a formal agenda prepared
such as is done for the regular formal meetings. �tayor Nee said he felt there are
some topics that need to be discussed with the community and this would be in
a different dialogue than what is provided in the formal meeting structure. Mayor
Nee said the procedure could be established and if it seems to be fruitless, it
could be dropped at any time.
Councilman Breider said he assumed this would be published as a fourth meeting and
a conference session. He said the people could just come in with their topics and
if action is needed on the matters, it would be possible to place the item on the
next formal Council agenda.
Mayor Nee said in this manner, it would be possible to meet with the Boards and
Commissions. He felt a need for having some dialogue with the members of the various
Subcommittees.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to designate the Regular Council meetings for the first
and third Monday evenings of the month, the Public Hearing meeting for the third
Monday and that on the fourth Monday when practical, there will be an informal
conference meeting scheduled in thE� Community Room with no definitive action being
taken at this conference meeting. Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 1975
PAGE 5
Councilman Breider said he had talked to Mr. Wilmes the preceeding Saturday and
Mr. Wilmes had questioned if Mr. Dan Huff had sent out letters to the various
businesses concerning their involvement in the development of North Park. He said
he thought Mr. Wilmes was questioning whether or not the City had solicited for
funds for this development. Councilman Breider said, the letters were not solicitations
for funds, �hey were requests for information concerning the various businesses
becoming involved as an information gathering procedure.
t•1r. Wilmes questioned if this had been done for North Park, could it also be done
for the Islands of Peace.
Councilman Breider said the letters had been prepared as a result of a policy
decision on the part of the Council. Councilman Breider suggested if any further
mailings are prepared of this type that the Islands of Peace be included in the fliers
also. He said if the City were to ask for potential help and funding he felt the
Islands of Peace should be included in the information and if anyone is interested,
they could send this information back to the foundation. Councilman Breider said he
had thought about this concern some time after talking to Mr. Wilmes on Saturday and
he felt being there were two volunteer projects, and both could be mentioned in the
same mailing with no additional postage, the City migh' as well send out information
on both projects.
Mayor Nee said since this was not a regular agenda item that it would be taken care
of later in the meeting. (Note: Action was taken later in the meeting.)

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.

stated they thou9ht they should have a member of the Environmental Quality Commission
seated as a voting member of the Planning Commission.
Mayor Nee asked if the recommendation was in the proper form for the Council to take
action on the matter at the present meeting. The City Manager said the Commission
had not taken action in form of a formal motion of recommendation to the Council on
this matter, but the Council did have the authority to establish policy matters.
Mayor Nee suggested this be a matter that could be discussed at the fourth Monday
meeting.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to receive the minutes of the Environmental Quality
Commission Meeting of November 19, 1974. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon a

RECEIVTNG THE MTNUTES OF THE CABLE TELEVISION GOMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 73, 1974:
Mayor Nee questioned if the material was the overview of the time and production rates.
Ne asked if there was to be Counci7 action at this time on the suggested rates.
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.

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 said there had also been
some problems with the representatives of the HocKey Association having enough time
available for contacts during the holidays with their many other obligations.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to approve the rate structure proposed by General

booklet and said this showed the proposed plan for the implementation of safety aspects.
Ne said there would be no need for the acquisition of additional right of way and there
would be no rerouting of traffic for the construction period. 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. He recommended the action of the Council sho�ld be concurrent with the
statement to this effect on page 13-B of the agenda. Mr. Sobiech said the Administration
had reviewed the plans with the Highway Department and has determined there would be no
adverse effects on the beach due to the construction. Fle pointed out the area on the
map on the screen and said there would be no detours of the traffic. Ne said basically,
this would be a safety channelization project.
Councilman Starwalt asked if this would be the same plan.as had been reviewed and
discussed for the past ten months and Mr. Sobiech said yes. He said this was the
same plan that the Council had approved the preliminary plans for.
Councilman Starwalt asked if the actual construction would take place the following
construction season and Mr. Sobiech said yes.
(4rs. Shirley Caldwell, 5874 Hackmann Avenue, addressed the Council and asked if the
needs of the community for bikeways would be considered and included in the improvement.
i4r. Sobiech said yes, Mr. Jerry Boardman, Planning Assistant, had been working with
the Highway Department in this respect and the bikeways would be included in the
improvement at this time.
Councilman Starwlat asked if the plan being presented was the final plan. i�ir.

Mrs. Lee Ann Sporre, 301 Ironton, questioned if there would be signals included
which would enable the safe crossing for pedestrians and bikers on the highway.
She further pointed out that presently, this is a very dangerous intersection for
such crossing. The Public Works Director said the Engineering staff is working on
this aspect of the plans and said that installation of a crossing light which
would be directed by a button that the pedestrian or biker would push to cross
while all other traffic stops would be cor�sidered.

PAGE 11
REAL PROPERTY SERVICES: USAGE OF INDUSTRIAL $UILDING AT 7900 MAIN STREET N. 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.

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.

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.

item number twelve. (Exchange of property for park purposes in Harris Lake Estates.)
Mr. Dennis Schneider asked what project the money would go back into after the sale

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

Commission was that an application for a special use permit was not necessary

fence had been stipulated for screening purposes because there was storage of
material in this area. He pointed out that the present request asked for the use of
a chain link fence for security purposes and there is not much material being

be used as a display area rather than a storage area. He repeated the request would

like to discuss. 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.

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.

for the use of the girls broomball teams. Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon a voice �
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.

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.

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.

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.

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. �

Nee wting aye, Councilman Breider voting aye, and Councilman Starwalt voting aye,

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

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

the motion carried unanimously. •
Councilman Nee questioned if the Administration would like some instruction on how
to sell the lots. The City Manager said he would obtain a professional appraisal and
� this would amount to a cost of approximately $250.
i Councilman Nee asked to have this item brought back to the Council before any final
! action is taken on the sale.

RESOLUTION N0. 133-1974 = STATING INTENT TO PARTICIPATE IN COOPERATIVE COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT FUNDING:
Councilman Breider said he would like an Administration explanation on this item.
The City Manager said under a new federal law, there would be some funding available
for communities with populations below 50,000. He said the chances of obtaining this
funding are very remote since there is only one and a half million dollars available
for the metropolitan area. He said the proposal would be to form a joint ad hoc
comnittee for planning the use at some level, services, and priorities. He said
if the City were to improve their rating under policy #31, they could obtain funds
directly. He said there would be no committment to an indefinite period of time with
the adoption of the resolution and agreements. He said this would only approve the
letter of intent.

manager, or department)" and insertion of, "the City Manager, Nasim Qureshi, or his

RESOLUfION N0. 134-1974 - ORDERING PERLIMINARY PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS AND ESTIMATES
OF THE COSTS THEREOF: STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ST. 1976-4:
Councilman Nee asked if the public hearing notices would be sent out to the people
with the total cost of the project noted at one million dollars. The City Manager
explained that it is the policy of the City to put the total amount of the project on
the public hearing notices even when there would be federal funds and other funds
aiding in the payment of the project.
✓ Councilman Breider said he believed that approximately $200,000 would be the City's
share of the funding of the project. The City Manager explained that the normal rate
for assessment for residential streets would be assessed to the benefited property
owners. He said the report would be presented to the Council. He added, the Federal
contribution to the project would be one million, the County would fund one half a
million dollars. He said there would be just a small portion of the cost assessed
to the property owners. He said the railroad would also be paying a substantial
portion of the assessments. The City Manager said the Council can authorize agreement
with the County after the public hearing.

CONSIDE?,ATION OF AUTHORIZING ACCEPTANCE OF NON-WAIVER AGREEMENT AND RESERVATION OF
RIGHTS DAILEY HOMES VS CITY OF FRIDLEY :
The City Attorney said the letter in the agenda had been received from the carrier of the
City's liability coverage and states that they had received a summons and complaint on
this file. I-le said the letter states since the insurance company does not know all
of the facts, �hey are not in a position to determine if the allegations are within
the terms of the insurance policy. He continued to explain that the company would
defend the City and let them know the facts as the trial progresses. He said at this
time it will be determined if the City is fully covered, partially covered, or not
covered at all. He pointed out in the letter in the agenda that they had requested
him to sign the letter after he had received the City's authority to sign it. He
explained that he believed this would need Council authorization.
Councilman Breider questioned what the City was being sued for. The City Attorney
explained that Dailey Homes, Inc. owns the property adjacent to the pond of Harris
Lake Estates. Mr. Herrick said Dailey Homes are claiming by reducing the level of
the pond in Fridley this reduced the water in New Brighton. The City Attorney said the
minutes of the City Council meetngs wi71 indicate that he had raised this question at
the time development was proposed. He said at that time, he was told that the Fridley
and New Brighton Engineering Staffs were talking about this being a joint project.
He stated, Fridley decided to go ahead with the project and New Brighton decided
against it. The City Attorney said he did not believe the amount of the damages would
be too much. iie said the Insurance Gompany would answer and he needed Council author-
ization to sign the Reservation of Rights.

The City Attorney explained that there had been a number of letters exchanged concerning
this dedication of park land in Innsbruck North. He said the letter in the agenda was
written by himself to Mr. Billman and it pointed out that he had an obligation to dedicate
the 7and to the City regardless of any agreement with the Darrel Farr Corporation. The
City Attorney continued to explain that in a telephone conversation with Mr. Billman,
iie pointed out that Farr is delinquent in the payment of $15,000 and they had come
to an agreement that this be paid by the month in the amount of $1,000 per month for
15 months. The City Attorney said it was his feeling that it is Mr. Billman's
obligation to deed the land to the City and he felt this should be brought to the
Council's attention.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
The City Attorney further advised the Council that the agreement has been recorded with
the property, but the City's position would be stronger if they did have the deed
to the property. The City Attorney said the City is in a good position at the present
time, but if the Council w9shed to have him ask for the deed, they should advise him
of this.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to authorize the City Attorney to ask for the deed for

REQUEST FOR LEGAL OPINION CONCERNING CHALLENGE OF RANKING IN PQLICE DEPARTMENT:
Councilman Nee said he had received a call from one of the Police Corrnnissioners
that evening and he would like to speak to the point of ranking in the Police Department.
He said there is no challenge concerning the abolishment of the position, but there is
a challenge on the ranking. 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. He said there was an old Attorney,
General's opinion that the position could be aboiished without a hearing and also
a Supreme Court decision that also said this could be done. The City Attorney said he
! was confident on this point.
' The City Attorney said whether or not the Council should obtain an opinion from the
Attorney General on the point in question would be up to the Council to decide.
'
i�
' Counci7man Nee said Mr. Wilbur Whitmore, Police Commissioner, had explained the
' ! question to be, if the position is abolished, does this just abolish the person's '
� I� title, and is the employee entitled to a job at the next lower ranking position.
Councilman Nee stressed, the Commissioner wanted an Attorney General's opinion.
'
'
�
The City Attorney said he had not researched this point.

for a legal opinion on the question of ranking in the abolishment of a position.

Dear Mr. Qureshi:

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.
Sincerely�,_ ; i'

MEMORANDUM
NASIM M. QURESHI, CITY MANAGER AND CITY COUNCIL
MARVIN C. BRUNSELL, ASST. CITY MGR./FIN. DIR.
SUBJECT: PETITION ON PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CITY CHARTER,
CNAPTER 2, SECTION 2.05 (VACANCIES IN COUNCIL)
DATE: DECEMBER 18, ]974
A Petition on a Proposed Amendment to Chapter 2, Section 2.05 of the City Charter
was filed on October 1, 1974 with the Charter Commission.
The Charter Corrmission was proceeding on the assumQtion there was no specific
time limit for turning the petition over to the City Council. This apparently
was based on an informal discussion with the City'S legal counsel. 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.

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.

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.

MEMO T0: HONORABLE BILL NEE A�iD COUPJCIL MEh1BERS
FROM: RAY SHERIDAN, CHARTER COP�fMISSION CHAIRMA�d
SUBJECT: SEC?IQN 2.05 AND 2.06 OF CITY CHARTER
DATE: JAI�IUARY 6, 1975
FRlDLEY, MINNESClTA 55432
The Charter Commission and members from the Committee of Petitioners met on
Monday, December 30, 1974, and discussed and reviewe�+ the petition and some
ideas that the Commissian had regarding the proposed amendment. 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:

participate in the discussion.) 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�. Mary Maxtin told

Re: Seat on the Fridley Planning Commission--Page 4--November 18, 1974
Statements and Cor�clusions and Questions
The Planning Commi.ssion is made up of both Commission Chairmen and
Sub-committee Chai.rman.
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.
The ques�ion now is: Does the City Council of the City of Fridley
wish the Environn�ental Quality Commission to be a useful and used

CABL�. TV COMMISSION
becember 13, 1974
MEMBERS PRESENT: F'r. 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.

The Honorable Mayor and City Council

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,

In reviewing the Joint Use Rental Agreement No. 191,
we receive from the Board the amount of $1,486.00,
which is paid to us quarterly.
I believe you should sign the Rental Agreement, as is.
The amount we are being paid now is still more than
adequate for the work it takes to keep up this line.

MEMO FROM: Ricriard N. 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. The Rnnual Agency Agreement is spe,cifically for Federal
financing of projects, of which Fridley wou]d probably not become
involved.
I1; is recommended that the Council adopt the resolution
,� and approve ��xecution of the agreement requesting technical and
engineering assistance at the Regular Council Meeting of January 6,
I975. The Annual Agency Agreement can be executed at the time Federal
III� � assistance is re uired on an future ro'ect.

Dear Mr. Qureshi:
4530 EXCELStOR BOULEVARD • PHONE 612 / 920-8600
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, 55416
December 30, 1974
�As the real estate broker involved, I wish to outline for you the basics of
' the proposed usage of the industrial building at 7900 Main Street N. 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.

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°
�

' 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

,
-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.
