OLD BUSINESS: CONSIDERATION OF SECOt��D READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CNAPTER 603 - INTOXICATING LIQUORS TABLED 2/3/75 : The City Attorney, Mr. Virgil Herrick, addressed the Council and exnlained tfiat he had met with t.he Director of Public Works, Mr. Richard Sobiech, and they had gone over the ordinance. He commented that they had made severa] changes, most of which were housekeeping changes. He mentioned the Council had anrroved the Ordinance on first reading several weeks previously. 7he City Rttor•ney pointed out one chanqe which he felt was a significant change on Pa�e 1-B of the Council agenda in the Section 603.Q81, Persons Ineligible, which was amended as underlined. He said the Section read as follows: "2. Who is not of good moral character", and he explained that the fo?lowing language had been added to that portion, "and repute. If applicant has been an owner, manager or employee of a saloon, hotel, restaurant, cafe, tavern or other business of a similar nature, the City Council may consider the applicant's past p�rformance record in determining whether a license shall be granted or renewed." He mentioned that the State Statutes limit this section to the original section, and it is possible far the City to adopt more stringent requirements. The City Attorney pointed out the change made in Section 603.10 to be the exceptions' listed after no minor shall be employed, "except that minors may be employed as musicians, busboys and dishwashers." He �ndicated this change was added to bring the ordinance in line a�ith the State Statutes. _ _ _ R i 0 �,I � REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1975 PAGE 2 3 The City Attorney referred the Council's attention to the memo prepared for the Cauncil concerning some additional changes that should be discussed by the Council. He said the changes had been suggested by the Administration and he believed the memo to be self explanatory and offered to answer any of the Council's questions. Mayor Nee indicated that there had been a change suggested in the memo for Section 603.04 and he was unable to find this section in the agenda. Councilman Fitzpatrick said this had not been included in the ordinance. The City Attorney explained that this section requires an applicant for a liquor license to present the City with a statement from a certified public accountant showing the total gross sales and total food sales of the restaurant for the t�Nelve months immediately preceding the application for renewal. The City Attorney said he would like some indication from the Council relating to whether the Counci would wish to enforce this requirement or waive it at the present time. He said he did not think the current applicants -for'renewal had been complying with the requirement. i+layor fdee stated hewould not want the provisions weakened. The City Attorney said he was not suggesting that this section be removed, he would like to I<now if the Council might consider waiving the requirement for the present time. Ne advised the Council that the provision should be waived, or the current license holders should be contacted and requested to fur�iis:7 a statement froni a certifired public accountant. The PubTic Works Director read ihe section as it exists to the Council. Mayor Nee asked if the figures could be determined from the amount of liquor sales � and the Public Works Director said yes. Mayor Nee asked if everything that is not liquor sales would be determined as food sales and the City Attorney said he believed so. P4ayor Nee asked the City Aitorney if he was sure that the applicants in the City were not complying with this requirement at the present time and the City Attorney said he was not aware of statements being presented. Mayor Nee referred the Council's attention to point number two in the memo from the City Attorney and asked if the current1y being considered applican�s for liquor licenses resided in the City. The City Attorney explained that he was not sure on this, but ir� these cases it would depend on who the applicant would 'nire as a manager of the business. The City Attarney explained that this may have some practical problems in the enforcement of this type of provision. Ne questioned if this requirement would stand through judicial action. He said he would like to see the Council adopt a more practical requirement than asking the applicant to be a member of the community or resident of the City. He said there were some determining factors in the current wording. He mentioned that in policing the establishments, it was thought that the manager or applicant should be in the general location of the business for ready access. He pointed out again to the Council that he did not know if the language would be defensefull in litigation action. Council�.�oman K��k�wski said she would favor the idea that the manager of the business resides in the City. She said she could see that this would be impractical in some instances. Councilman Starwalt said he felt it would be good for the manager to reside in the community because this would provide for community spirit. He questioned if this would be an advantage in competition. Mayor Nee agreed, but indicated that if the provision in not enforceable, maybe there should be some changes. The City P,ttorney said he would also favor that the manager be a resident, but there would be some problems in the administration of the requirement if it is not waived for the current license holders. He said if this statement remains in the ordinance, the license should not have been rene��ed. Councilman Starwa]t said he would like it kept on record that the City would consider the manager's residence in the City to be beneficial, but this would not be binding. The City Attorney said this could not be incorporated in the ordinance, but it can be said that this would be favored by the Council. He said if the restriction would remain in the ordinance, it should be enforced, or it should be waived. •He also mentioned if the requirement is waived for one applicant, it would have to be waived for all. Mayor Nee asked if theCity Attorr.ey could explain his remarks within the statement numbered three in the memorandum to the Council. The City Attorney said it had�been a requirement that the City issue one license less than the maximum number permitted by the Minnesota Statutes. He explained that the purpose of this section has become obsolete because the City is now permitted to have private off-sale licenses as we11 as municipal on-saTe and off-sale. He also s±ated that the legislature had authorized second class cities with population over 20,000 people to issue up to i8 liquor licenses. He said maybe the Council would like to decree by ordinance a lesser number available at this time and reserve some and hope for future development. � � � ' � REGUL,4R COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1975 ' PAGE 3 The City A,ttorney explained that this would limit the infJux of liquor licenses applicat- ions within the next two.years. Ne also p�inte�_ out that it would be possible for the 1 City to impose more stringe�t regulations than set forth in the �tate Statutes. He advised the Council that the ordinance could be amended some time in the future. Councilman Breider said he did not know what the number would or should be. He ' expressed the view that 18 is high. He mentioned he did not think that there is 18 3.2 establishments in the City of Fridley. Mayor Pdee said the criteria would be for restaurants and he asked the number of restaurants in the City. ' Mayor Nee said he thought the 40/60 split would be a good one for the restaurants, but suggested the City contact some of them to find this out. He said maybe the 50/50 split. would be better. Councilman Fitzpatrick said he was not aware of�the history concerning the sales ' requirements and asked when this had been changed. Mayor Nee said at the present time the split requirement is 50/50 unless the Council would change this with the proposed ordinance. � ' � ' � � ' Councilman Breider asked if the information on the operations in Bloomington would be public informati� . He recalled they had had some troubie with one business not obtaining the 50/50 requirement. The City Attorney said the other area cities are wi]ling to give the City information when it is asked for. The Finance Director agreed with this s�atement. Councilman Breider listed several of the business places in the Bloomington area he would like to have information on. The Finance Director asked if these establishments under the current City laws would ooerate under the same iaws as the City of Fridley. Councilman Breider said yes, they �ave a 50/50 split. P4ayor Nee felt this proposal to be a good one and said rather than speculate, the City should ask for this information. Mayor Nee said if the City would change the proposed figures, they should give those that had applied for licenses this information and allow them a chance to look at the figures for the change in their operations. Councili�an Starwalt said he had come to the conslusion that he would not be able to vote on another liquor licei;se until these facts had been worked out. Council- man Starwalt stressed the settlement of the 40/60 split requirements shoul� be taken care of before any more iicenses are considered. He said he would like all the relevant factors taken care of. Mayor Nee suggested that the Finance Director prepare a report for the Council on the requirement:s of the other cities using the same criteria. Mayor Nee asked if anyone had any questions or comments concerning the statement that the renewal license app]icants furnish a statement by a certified public accountant. Councilman Starwalt said he did not think this requirement should be cfeleted or waived at this time. He explained the feeling that this information could aid in the consdieration of the criteria tnat should be established in the City at this time. Mayor Nee said the Council would not want the provisions weakened and Councilman Starwalt s<iid he agreed with this statement. F1ayor Nee said he felt the Council- members al� felt the same about not ��akening the provisions. � � Mayor Nee recalled the second consideration within the memo submitted by the City At�orney and mentioned if the manager is not a resident and this criteria would not be enforce�ible, he felt this should be deleted. Councilman Starwalt said he would reluctantly agree. Mayor Nee said when the ordinance comes back to the Council for consideration, this portion could be amended. ' Mayor Nee continued to question the matters submitted by the City Attorney and agreed with the first suggestion that there would no longer be a limit of allowing one less thar,.. the available license. �layor Nee said he could not say at this time what he would like to do about limiting the number of liquor licenses that the City 5hould issue. He asked if the Council would like to look closer at this type of consideration on the number when the other reports. are received by the Council. 1 MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to table the consideration on the second reading of the ordinance until March 17 after the consideration of the report on the operations in other communities is reviewed by the Council and that the ordinance be amended as ' directed through the current discussion, and that the Finance director be instructed � to inform the Fridley liquor establishments to have a statement prepared by a certified public accountant to be submitted to the City. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon �� 5 ' REGULAR COUNCTL MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1975 PAGE 4 a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.

Mayor Nee pointed out to the tJard Councilman,;Councilman Starwalt, that the Council had not ta4:en any action in his absence of the previous wef'�. Councilman Starwalt said he would like to express his appreciation that this matter .�ad been held over until he was in attendance. MOTION by Councilman Starwalt that the resolution not be adopted until the Council resolves the 40/60 split requirement and also the other relevant matters concerning the liquor ordinance indicating he could r�ot support any other liquor licenses in the City until these matters are resolved. Seconded by Councilman Breider. Councilwoman Kukowski said she woudl net vote in favor of the proposed motion and mentioned that the Council had adopted the same type of resolution in the cases of the other liquor l�icenses applicants. She said the applicant is waiting for a decision on the matter justas well as the others had waited and reservations for the licenses had heen made for the others. Councilwoman Ifukowski said the applicant had been waiting for a long time. Councilman Fitzpatrick said this would only be a resolut�on to reserve the license until the applicant meets the necessary provisions. h1ayor tdee indicated that if the resolution is adopted, there would be an obligation on the part of the City to issue the license if the applicant spends the money to ccmply ��iith the provisions. Mayor Nee indicated that there should not be any deliberation following a motion to table. UPON A ROLL CALL VOTE, Councilman Sreider voting aye, Councilman Starwalt voting aye, Councilman Fitzpatrick voting nay, Mayor Nee voting aye, Councilwoman Kukowski voting nay, P1ayor Nee declared the motion carried three to two. RESOLUTI Mayor Plee called on Councilman Breider to indicate to the Council the content of the resolution. Councilman 6reider reiterated ttie comments of the last r�ieeting of the Council and indicated he believed the people of the City of Fridley are not ready to take on the entire expenditure as it relates to the construction of an Armory in the City. He indicated the resolution states that the City wauld be interested in a joint venture with the other northerly suburbs and if this is established, the City would look more favorably on the proposal. Councilman Breider said he believed the Armory would be better located north of the Locke Park area and perhaps within the airport property. He thought that this would be more centrally located and the City would favor this type of participation if it comes about. Mr. Nick Garaffa, 6750 t�lonroe Street, said he would feel better if the resolution expressly ruled out the Locke Park site. P•1ayor Nee said the language of the resolution indicates this fact. Councilman Starwalt commended Councilman Breider on the contents of the resolution. MOTION by Councilman Qreider to adopt Resolution 34-1975, requesting the Department of MIlitary Affairs, State of Minnesota through the Adjutant General, to explore the possibility of establishing a National Guard Armory in the Northeast Suburbs under a joint powers agreement.

He suggested that the Council table the consideration and receive the r�iinutes until the matter is reviewed by the Building Standards-Design Control Subcommittee, unless there is some particular interest in the item at this time. Mayor Nee suggested in matters such as this, that the Council point out the high points in the consideration for the benefit of the people. .

He said the appointments are quite important to the Council. He raised the o,uestion of publication of the openings available to inform the public. He said he felt the people who's terms are expiring should be contacted to determine whether or not they would like to continue to serve on the various boards and commissions. He advised the Council that the item appeared on the agenda to inform the Council of the openinas, not for immediate appointments. Councilman 6reider said he would like the opening in Ward I.°�r the Building Standards- Design Control Subcommittee advertised as being available. rfe sunnes.te�'.*hat th3s openinq be taken care of at the same time as those in April. 1 Councilman Fitzpatrick asked if some of the appointments are be Ward appointment and some by at large appointment. Ne mentioned in some cases one Ward seems to have greater representation than the others. He said he did not know how the appointments had been recommended. � L� ' ' Mayor Nee said the practice of the Council is to try to spread the representations from �the various Wards. Mayor Nee said hevauld like it worked out that the appointments on the Planning Commission would end up with two women on the Planning Commission. He said there had never;� been a female on the Planning Commission. He said he was aware of the arguments to this request in that it is difficult to finc: a woman qualified for this kind of tehnical position. Ne mentioned the only way that a woman would be appointed to the Planning Commission is that if she were appointed as a chairman of a subcommittee. Councilman Fitzpatrick said he was prepared to cooperate with this request on one comrai ttee. � The City Manager suggested that the Plats and Subs Committee be the topic of conver- sation at-the conference meeting of the current month. Ne thought the Council should resolve the matter of the Plats and Subs in conjun ction with the Environmental Quality Commission. He said the Plats and �ubs has very little to do since the City has ' become developed to the point it is today. The City Manager said there is some concern of whether the Plats and Subs should be reevaluated with a new direction. He said this matter could be left open until the conrerence meeting on the fourth P�onday of the month, March 24, 1975. He suggested the duties of the subcommittees hereviewed and modified ' to better suite the needs of the City. He pointed out that their current activity should not be what it had been 15 years ago. He said the City has grown and the needs of the Gity have changed. ' Mr. Nick Garaffa questioned if the next time this topi� is discussed, would the appoint- ments on the various committees be evenly matched for location. He mentioned on some co�mittees there are two or three people representing the same block. Ile suggested the Council attempt to allow the appointments to be from an even spread of the Wards. He asked if some kind of report on this could be prepared. ' MOTIOtd by Councilman Starwalt to direct the Ar�inistration to contact those people who's terms will be expiring to get an expression as to �vhether or not they would like to continue to serve and also that the Administration prepare a report on the ' distribution of representation on the various boards and commissions. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Mee declared the motion carried unanimously. Councilman Breider said with everyone concerned about the distribution of Ward ' appointments, maybe, the Ward Councilmember should make the nominations for the at�large positions. Councilman Star�aalt said the relocation of Ward boundaries has further complicated the problem. Mayor Nee recalled that there had been a plan presented for the appointments which ; r A � REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING Of MARCH 3, 1975 PAGE 3 � was prepared by the Administration some time ago. He asked if this would clari€y the appointments. Councilman Fitzpatrick said this had been prepared by the staff and reviewed by the Planning Commission in great detail. He said it included the concept that a new I�layor may make an appointment to the committees. He said the plan had been elaborately worked out. Mayor Nee recalled the plan was cmplicated. The City Manager said the plan could be brought back to the Council and this could be a starting point. He said these modifications could be reviewed at the conference meeting. The City Manaqer pointed out the memorandum from the Chairman of the Cha.rter Commission, Mr. Ray Sheridan, and said he would like the Council to submit names to Judge Gillespie for the available openings in the Charter Commission. He mentioned Mr. Sheridan included the names of the people who wish to continue or� the Commission and had added four names of other recommendations for appointment. The Finance Director pointed out that one person had been left. out on the list and this was Mr. Roy McPherson. The Public Works Director said eight two year terms would have to be filled. The Public Works Director indicated there were also four year terms vacar.t. Mayor Nee said any person who would like to be considered for app�tmert to the Charter Commission shoulcf either contact a member of the Council or submit their name to judge Gillespie, Anoka County. Mayor Nee asked when the names should be submitted. Councilwoman Kukowski indicated according to the information submitted in the agenda, the terms Piad expired on January 23, 1975. The City Attorney suggested that this be done at the end of March or beginning of April. He said it had been suggested that the Judge make the appoint- ments late in March or early April. Councilman Starwalt said he felt the persons interested in the appointment to the boards and commissions should contact the Ward Councilmeriber°, Mayor or Councilmember at Large. Mayor Nee mentianed that the recommendatian for appointment for the Charter Commission may hold more weight if it came from the City Council. RESOLUTIO�a N0. 35-1975 - AUTHORIZIN6 zHE CITY ADMINISTRP,TION TO ENTER IPJTO A CONTRACTUAL —_ ..__.. ........ ..,.....r., �.,., T�� .,r,.,rr r.r nnrnrnirntr fllh!�1C CDhM T!!F FFf1FRAI r,nvFRr�_ ACT, T1TLE VI (CETA) WHICH PROVIDES EMPLOY- The City �4anager explained this resolution would authorize the Administration to enter into a contractual agreement for obtaining $38,924 for the emergency training or CETA. He said the funds would be av�ilable for the remainder of 1975 and would be used to provide two peopel in the Naturalist's tree program. He further explained the purp.ose of the program is to provide supplemental employment where there had not been before. He said one person would be hired in the Public Works Department and this would be to work anyvahere within the street, water or sewer maintenance areas. He said one person would be used in the adminis�rative staff to work in the City ��1anaqer's office to do some research for the Council, City Manager and Pub1ic Safety Director. Councilwoman Kukowski asked if a woman could be used in the program. She continued to cite that by the c�escription of the work involved, it would seem that the qualifications would be for all able bodied male persons. She asked if the research positior. could be filled by a woman. The City Manager explained that the criteria of the program in that the person would have to be unemployed or undererployed would have to be followed. He mentioned that there is a list of criteria for the City to follow. Councilatoman Kukowski mentioneci that there are many wonen that are the head of their household and hurting with the present state of the economy. The City Manager said if this is the Council's choice, the administration would attempt to hire a woman if such a person �rA7iQd_.anci.�uaJi.fied f6r the position.

He indicated that the original request for the program from � the City had limited the City's involvement to providing space, novr it had been determined that the program would need the City's sponsorship or the spnrsor�l�ip by another governmental agency. Ne said the first thing the Council would have to determine is whether the City government should become involved in this type of service. He mentioned the Community School program in the area and indicated that this program , may be more controled through this service. ' � ' � ' , II � The City Manager said if the Council would determine that they would want to sponsor such a program, they would have to determine if total funding for the project or partial funding should be sought. He mentioned the City wou1d be contributing the space, desks, and the telephone servi::e. The City Manager said in working with Mrs. . Grace L�{"nCh, Human Relations Committee, it had been propo�ed originally that the budget would be in the area of $i9,000 and this would be for one full time person and two part time people. He said after consideration of the City Aministration, it is the feeling that the budget request would,have to be in the area of 527,000 to cover the necessary materials, training> etc. 7he City Manager informed the Council that there is a similar program being offered in New Hope and their budget is �30,000. , He said in this case the space is also provided. He reiterated the two questions for the Council to take aciion on at the present time. Mayor Pdee said it was his understanding that the City would not make any contrit+ution to the program in cash. He said he thought the oniy contribution of the City would be for space, desks, and some staff help. Mayor Nee said he did not think the application would be unreasonable to cove.r the cost of the necessary items. The.City Manager said he felt the $27,750 would be more in line with the needs of the other established program. He said funds enough for the program to be reasonably active should be sought. Ne said he would like to have funds enough to be able to hire a trained person. He said he would not want the service to the City to be minimal. Mrs. Grace Lynch addressed the Council and indicated the belief that the program could not be handled in the City of Fridley by the Community School program as it is in the New Hope area. She pointed out that tf�ere are four schooi districts in the City and it would be impossible to centralize the program for total effectiveness. „ Mrs. Lynch said she did not think it was an unreasonable request to ask the City for space. The City Manager said the program could not be restricted to those who live the closest to the location of the physical facility, but he indicated that those who do live in the immediate area would be able to readily obtain the service.. ' The City Manager said the City would be responsible for checking the program to determine if the service met the goals of the program and the goals of the City , in making the application for the funding. He pointed out that the North Suburban d his had been discont inued �� Youth Center had originally obtained Federal Funding an t �and Coon Rapids is paying the majority of the costs for operation at the present a� time. ; : _ _ _.. , _ . .. � t x . � REGULAR COUNCIL P1EETING OF MARCti 3, 1975 PAGE 10 11 Councilman Fitzpatrick indicated that there are some County funds involved in the Youth Center, but the project is mainly funded by Coon Rapids. Mayor Nee said there was no present proposal that the City provide money for the cost of the project. Mr. Nick Garaffa said he would like to speak in favor of the proposed program. Ne indicated that there are persons who have not been employed before or have not been employed for a long period of time and it would be important that these persons obtain the reassurance that this type of pt°ogram could offer. He said if a woman has not iaorked for ten to fifteen years> she would not know how to prepare a resume and some do not know how to `ill out an application blenk. He said he hoped the Council would vote in favor of the proposal. -Mayor Nee asked if the State Employment Service would cooperate 'in other areas for this type of service. Mrs. Lynch said the woman receives no satisfaction from the State Employment Service office. Mr. Peter ller.lofsl:y, Administrative Assistant, recalled that he had contacted the State Employment Service concerning this proposal and had been assured cooperation in every respect. He continued to explain that he then called another off;ce of the service and was directed to call Mrs. Lynch because she was more familar with the program than this office. Mayor Nee said Anoka County is setting up an office in Columbia Heights and asked if this would duplicate this service. Mr. Herlofsky said he could not define what would be duplication in the employment counseling area. He said Mrs. Lynch had sc,me very � definite type of counseling in mind and this �aouii! be on a more personal basis. Mayor Nee said if the woman is making her first contact with the job market what type of reference would be given in other areas. Mrs. Lynch said the counseling would deal with the total woman, not just +vhat kind of job she wants. She mentioned this may be to advise the woman what type of educational services are av�ilab',e to her. She said that she had talked to women who had not worked for 27 yea�°s and some that had never worked. She said the State Employment Service is not geared to helpinq out this type of p°rson, tney erant the :,ualified person. She said the only thing they will hear at the State Employment service is that there are no jobs available for this tyne of person. Mayor Plee agreed with the statement expressed by Mr. Garaffa that woman who return to the job market would return the tax dollar. He said he felt that there is an urgert need for this type of service in the community and he felt if the City did not apply, this would be establisfied in another area and not to the benefit of the com!»unity. He stressed he did not think the service would cost the City money. MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to adopt Resolution No. 38-1975 authorizing the Ctty ,4dministration to apply for funding for a'r�'omen's Counseling Service through the Comprehensive Employment Training Flct, Title I, and that the budget be approved for application in the amount of �27,750.

The City Attorne.y advised the Council that they did have the authority to adopt rules and regulations and he would be willing to put the rules and regulations together, but he would need some guildelines from the Council.

Herrick, I'ridley City Attorney -', y``"�' Re: Consideration of: the Intoxicating Liquor Ordinance Date: February 28, 1975 �Mr. Sobiech and I have spent some time reviewing Chapter 603 of the Fridley City Code relating to intoxicating liquors. The proposed changes are contained in an ordinance which is in the current agenda. However, there were three items that we thought should be brought to the Council's attention for discussion and possible action by the Council. These are as follows: 1. Section 603.04 requires an applicant to furnish the city clerk with a statement from a certified public accountant showing the total gross sales and total food sales of the restaurant for the twelve months immediately preceding the application for renewal. I am not aware that these statements have been filed by the current license holders. The question would be whether the Council wishes to retain this provision and, if so, whether the city clerk should advi�e the present holders to file a statement in compliance therewith. 2. Section 603.082 requires that upon renewal of a license,. the individual applicant or managing partner or corporate manager be a resident of the City of Fridley. To the best of my knowledge, the present license holders clo not comply with this provision. I also question the enforceability or necessity for such a provision. The Council should consider whether this provisi.on should be repealed. 3. Section 603.20 provides that the city will issue one license less than the maximum number permitted by Minnesota Statutes. The purpose of this section has become oUsolete, inasmuch as the city is now permitted to have private off-sale licenses as well as both municipal on-sale and off-sale. In addition, the city is now ��uthorized to issue up to eighteen on-sale licenses. The Council might �aish to consider adopting a limitation somewhat less than the maximum number permitted by state law.

Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. Mr. Charles Jordan was present to present his request. A hand drawn plot plan was shown to the Board. Mr. Mattson pointed out where the various variances were needed on the plot plan. Chairman Drigans asked if there was a survey of the property available. Mr. Jordan said he did not want to get a survey until he was sure he had a chance of building the addition. Chairman Drigans stated the measurements for the variances are only approximate then as there is no survey. Mr. Mattson said the only variance that is approximate is the side yard setback from 35 feet to 9 feet. Mr. Mattson added that the Board can asstune the plot plan has the correct measurements, and if a survey shows the measurements to be incorrect, the petitioner will have to come back before the Board. Mr. Jordan added that he was told he did not need a survey until he was sure he could build the addition. Mr. Plemel asked if Mr. Jordan was the owner of this property. Mr. Jordan answered that he was only leasing the station from Mr. Clifford Thoe. Mr. Jordan stated that if he gets approval to build the addition, that he will be asking for a lot split so he can buy the station from Mr. Thoe. The lot split would separate the station from Mr. Thoe's house and garage, Chairman Drigans said that a survey would have to be obtained before a lot split is applied for. Chairman Drigans stated iie can't see approving variances without a survey. He ' added that this could be deferred to the Planning Commission, or the Board could make a recommendation to the Planning Commission, and they could consider the variances along with the lot split, He said there is no sense in getting the varianees if the lot split is not approved. He said he didn't think the City ' Council would act on the variances until they had the minutes from the Building Standards and the Planning Commission. ' � 1 . , ' .� � � � � • e lnu e 'ci1:�' -SUUCV,ruuxc�.cc =.c:� Discussion on the side yard variance from 35 feet to 9 feet. Mr. Crowder stated the side yard setback is already in violation with only a 25 foot setback, and the variance is asking to go down to 9 feet. Mr. Crowder asked why a 1G foot addition was decided on rather than another size. Mr. Jordan said the building has been there for years and that is probably why the side yard is already non-conforming. He added that the size of the addition was determined by the size of the trucks he has to work on: Mr. Crowder asked where he works on them now. Mr. Jordan said he can't work on them in the wintertime because he has had to work on them outside the station because of lack of space. Mr. Crowder asked why he didn't convert the existing building to accomodate the trucks. Mr. Jordan said the building is not high enough, but the addition will be higher with a mansard roof that will conceal the height. Discussion of variance on off-street parking next to main building and off-street parking in the front yard. , � Mr. Jordan explained that the parking of vehicles is now all done in the front of the station and he would like to get the parking into the rear yard. These vehicles are eii-�er waiting to be picked up by the owners or are waiting to be � fixed by himselt. He said the front yard parking would be for short term parking only. '' Mr. Mattson explained the vehicles are being presently parked on the Central Avenue right of way. He added there is a narrow green island (approximately 4 feet) along Central Avenue but it is located entirely in the right of way. He said he would like to see a greater measurement of green area that is defined more. He , said the rest of the area is blacktopped. Mr. Mattson added the parking in the rear yard would also make this corner look cleaner. � Discussion on variance for curb openings being closer than 75 feet to a street right of way intersection. , Mr. Mattson explained there are presently no real driveways at this location. He said when 73rd Avenue and 73� Avenue were constructed, the streets were just depressed. Mr. Jordan added there might be about 15 feet that isn't depressed. � (There were no driveways located on the plot plan.l Mr. Crowder stated that it sounds like the Board would just be cleaning up paperwork by acting on most of these variances because they are already existing. He added that if the Board ' was to approve the variance on curb openings to just less than 75 feet as requested, the petitioner could place the driveways anywhere. Ghairman Drigans stated that curbs should be installed to control the traffic ' and to prohibit cars from entering the station haphazardly by coming in at angles. Fie said people driving both ways on Central, angle across the intersection to enter the station. Mr. Plemel asked if it would be feasible to prohibit , entering from 73� Avenue. Mr. Mattson said he didn't think this would be feasible. ' , ' Mr. Mattson added that if a lot split is granted, the driveway coming into the station off from 73rd Avenue will be next to the lot line. Mr. Jordan stated he has the spouts for filling his gas tanks along this driveway and also a pump for diesel fuel. Chairman Drigans said he would like to see this corner Mr. Mattson said this corner has been a problem for a seems to want to work with the City to get it cleaned cleaned up and uniform. long time and Mr. Jordan up. �:� . . , �u � �. � ' ' �. ' r r � � L_.I ' ' Mr. Crowdcr asked if the addition would be going before IIuilding SL-andards. Mr. Mattson answered that it would be, and Building Standards would be considering the outside development such as plantings and curbing at that time. Mr. Crowder said he felt this property should be made to look less like a parking lot. He said he would rather see the cars parked in back than the front and have the qreen area enlargea. Mr. Piemel asked if the property owner had run the station prior to Mr. Jordan's leasing it. Mr. Jordan said Mr. Thoe had run the station, but that there had been two other operators since that time. Mrs. Gabel said that obviously Mr. Thoe didn't object to the addition or the variances. Chairman Drigans stated that even if the Board was to approve the variances, the Planning Comrnission would not necessarily have to approve the lot split. Mr. Jordan said that he had read the minutes from the meetings where Mr. Thoe had requested a lot.split, and from what he gathered, the only reason it was not split was because Mr. Thoe had not followed through on it. Mr. Crowder asked how much land Mr. Thoe's house would end up with after the lot split. Mr. Jordan said approximately 7700 square feet. Chairman Drigans said the Board's action could be to convey only concept anproval of the variances to the Council and Planning Commission because of the sti�ulation that there is no final plot plan, that should have been submitted with the application, and unless the lot split is granted, the petitioner does not plan on proceeding with the construction. Chairman Drigans also questioned why the variances were before the Board of Appeals before the lot split goes before the Planning Commission. Mr. Mattson said that because this item has to go before three boards, it really doesn't matter which it goes before first as all the results are contingent upon the rest. Mr. Crowder added that going before the Planning Commission first for the lot split would cost money because of the needed survey. MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Crowder, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. �hairman Drigans stated he felt the Board should not act formally on the variances but make a recommendation on the concept only as there are questions that should be answered as to where the curbing should be placed and the lot split, before final approval on the variances. Also the final drawings should be submitted to the Building Standards for their review. Mr. Crowder said that would mean the applicant would have to come back before the Board of Appeals again so that the Board could see exactly where all the variances are located, especially the drivewayso Chairman Drigans said the Board could act on three of the variances, and the petitioner is aware that the Board is in favor of the concept so he can proceed with getting a survey and drawing up plans. Mr. Crowder said he could see where the Board could act on the concept for all the variances except for the curb openings. Mr. Crowder said that by approving 5 of the variances, the applicant would be capable of going ahead with the addition. Chairman Drigans said that approving the side yard variance would allow him to build the addition. The other variances are clearing up a situation that is existing. He said_the Board could approve them all, except for the curb openings, but then the applicant could say he doesn't want that variance. I � . . �� Mr. Jordan stated he doesn't see how thc driveway off from 73� Avenue could be 6 C � changed because of an existing light pole, street sign, and highline pole, and with tlie addition, there just isn't any room to change the entrance. He added the one entrance off from 73rd Avenue is between the lot line and a light pole , and sign, and is used by the gas transport to fill the tanks without blocking the gas pumps. � �I e �� I � � � � � r Mr. Crowder asked what the 75 foot setback is measured from. Mr. Mattson read from the Code, "The edge of the curb opening shall not be closer to the nearest portion of a street right of way intersection than 75 feet, or 2/3 of the lot width (whichever is smalZer�." Mr. Crowder said the driveway setback would then be from the curb and not from the property line so the driveway on 73rd Avenue could legally be 60 feet from the curb on Central which would leave 30 feet for a driveway. Mr. Jordan said because his tanks are located along this driveway, there is about 12 feet that cannot be used, which would result in only an 18 foot driveway. Mr. Crowder stated the curb opening variarice should be studied by the administration to come up with a proposal that will be restricting on Central Avenue bu� unrestricting enough to keep traffic flowing. Chairman Drigans stated he felt the entrances off from Central Avenue should be closed to prevent diagonal entrances by the traffic. He agreed that the administration should come up with a reasonable traffic flow pattern for i;iis station. MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Plemel, to recommend to the City Council, based on a successful lot split and approva]. by Building Standards, concept approval on reducing the side yard setback on the street side of a corner lot from 35 feet to 9 feet, and on reducing the setback for off-street parking from 5 feet to zero feet from the main building, and on reducing the setbaek for off-street parking from 5 feet to zero feet from a lot line, and on allowing parking in the required front yard, and to deny the variance to reduce the distance a driveway is from a lot line from 5 feet to zero feet because it is not necessary, and to defer action to the Council when proper information has been made available, on the variance to allow curb openings to be closer to a street right of way intersection than the required 75 feet, because of inadequate information and with the Board's suggestion to restrict diagonal entrances on Central, and Iet the Council grant the final action on the variances after the Planning Commission and Building Standards submit their recommendations on the lot split and addition. The recommendation of concept approval is made because of the hardship in Mr. Jordan's wanting to add a bigger stall onto his building to allow him to work on equipment, not possible now because of cold weather. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned by Chairman Drigans at 9:30 P.M.

I 7 ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COMMISSION February 18, 1975 Nf�MBERS PRESENT: Jim Langenfeld, LeeAnn Sporre, Mary Martin, Bob Erickson, Russell Houck, and Tom Sullivan MEMBERS ABSENT: LeRoy Oquist OTHERS PRESENT: Dick Sobiech and Arnold Bloomquist Chairmun Langenfeld opened the meeting at 7:40 p.m. APPROVAL OF MINiJTES MOTION by LeeAnn Sporre to approve the minutes of January 21, 1975. Seconded by Russell Houck. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR Mr. Langenfeld introduced Mr, Dick Sobiech to the committee, explaining he was to w ork with the committee on environmental related topics. Mr. Sobiech said they had discussed the role of the FEQC at previous m�etings. He said they do not exactly know where the FEQ� stands to date. The City had been directed previously to submit a storm sewer plan for review and commants by the FE(�^, only under Council direction, This is an extension of the Harris Lake Estates, In the iuture this will be discsssed with Council and they will decide which way to go. Presently, they have r:o rules or policies to follow. LeeAnn Sporre asked if they had a chance to look at the Hayworth-Anderson report. Mr. Sobiech said they had not. Mrs. Sporre said they do not have the expertise in Fridley to do something like this alone. Mr. Sobiech agreed with this and said they should have professional people working with the FEQC who are familiar with the environment, Mrs. Sporre commented that it should be the determination of who should made the decision on envi_ronment.al significance, she felt the final determination should come from the citizens, Mr. Sbbiech stated that sometimes citizens can get too concerned with their ideas, and lose sight of the overall benefits to the City. Mary Martin felt this was true with the staff representatives as wPll, she felt it would be a good idea to get a staff person and a Co:nmission that can work together. ' 1 LeeAnn Sporre said the major question would be the significance. Mr. Sobiech said the staff could prepare an environmental assessment for the committee's review to gather their data, in the form of a factual report. This would help determine whether there was to be significant detrimental affect. Mr. Sobiech '� said they could get invoZved with policies, he would like to ses something quickly so the City can cooperate. r � ' � MODEL PROPOSAL Mrs. Sporre introduced Mr. Arnold Bloomquis� from National Biocentrics. Mr. Bloomquist spoke of a recent motion at the state EQC to adopt the concept of this Model Ordinance instructing their staff to look at it. Mr. Bloomquist explained the pro�esses that an environmental policy act would go through. He said the new rules and regulations for considering environmental impact statements would require that highway departments and State agencies prepare guidelines for their consideration and reviewal, sub�ected to EQC for review. He said that the Hayworth-Anderson report suggests that munici- palities grester than 25,000 would be required to follow the same regulations to d termin when and how it would be prepared. Mrs. Sporre commented that she thought t�iis would work. ' � � LJ , Page 2 '7A Mr. Bloomquist said this would give the City the opportunity to consider preparing a new comprehensive plan, zoning and subdivision set of ordinances by evaluating the resources of the City on the basis of the development of the comprehensive plan, Any developer would be required to present a comprehensive environmental report to the staff. Mr. Bloomquist said he was sure the decentralization process will occur. Project proponents have got to be required in the.earliest stages to consider environmental affects of projects. The kind of ordinance which p�rmits the sensitive planning have got to occur within those projects developed. Mr, Sobiech said they would be interested in pilot projects and a comprehensive plan, Mr. Bloomquist said that if the FEQC was interested in proposing Fridley as a model ordinance, National Biocenerics was more than anxious to work with them. Mr. Langenfeld commentefl that he felt it was advantageous that the chairman of ' the FEQC was now a member of the Planning Commission, Mr. Bloomquist felt this was one step forward, Mrs. Sporre said that Council had concurred with the FEQC follo-�aing this direction at the January 20, 1975 Council meeting. � r � ' � , ' ' � CJ ' � � � GENERAL DISCUSSION Further discussion was held on the fornat of the model proposal and how it would be drafted. Mr. Langenfeld recommended the formation of a subcommittes to begin working on something and bring it back to the Commission by the next meeting. Mrs. Sporre said she w�uld be willing to draft some type of regulations for an environmental ordinance. LeeAnn Sporre brought up the topic of the armory. She felt it was the �lational Guard's responsibility to prepare an environmental assessment. Mr. Sobiech explained this was useless if ther� is a negative response to the armory, it would be a w.aste of time, effort, and money to look into this. Mrs. Sporre said there had been no implem�ntation, Mr. Bloomquist said they could request an environmental rzview from the National Guard. He said that either this Commission or a City official could send a letter requesting that the Guard prepar� an environmental ass�ssment, Mr. Bloomquist emphasized though by doing this, you may do m�re harm than good unless this t�pic comes back to life. Mrs. Sporre asked Mr. Sobiech about the environmental review pr�cedure for the national guard armory and asked if staff requested this plan? Mr, Sobiech explained they had reviewed it as far as the location was concerned, on an acceptable site of City owned property. He said this was the only property that was not dedicated for park purposes. Mr. Sobiech said they do t.ry to remain cognizant of environmental problems in their involvements. � The commission discussed the parking lot proposal and Mr. Langenfeld asked where the City stood on this particular proposal? Mr. Sobiech said they had talked with a developer but he never came back. Mr. Langenfeld asked if the FEQC was going to be brought into this? Mr. Sobiech said yes, The committee discussed the Rice Creek Watershed District. Mrs. Sporrz said in the present plan, there are no tools for preserving the Rice Creek adequately. She suggested a restrictive covenance in the flood plain. Mr. Bloomquist suggeste� that when Fridley adopts, in their planning procedure should be the wa�er management facilities for Rice Creek. He stated that the entire comprehensive plan and those enforced Ordinances should have the author.ity to consider and to reject or accept proposed development on what those developments will do to the qusntity and flow of Rice Creek. • Page 3 ' 7 � Mr. Bloocnquist suggested that all members obtain pages 115-145 from the summary ' of the Hayworth-Anderson report from the State Planning Agency,- Mary Martin asked that when the reports come in if each member could be notified from City Hall, so as to eliminate mailings and have each member pick up his own copy. � rir. Langenfeld asked members to keep in mind the resolution the committee wishes to start with. Mrs. Sporre and Mrs. Martin agreed to begin writing the philosophy , to begin this project. Mr. Langenfeld asked that al1 members read through the Hayworth-Anderson report, the comprehensive development plan, and the summary before the next meeting.

Seconded by Ina Prieditis. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carr�.ed unanimously. Mr. Belgum said ne had spoken with Mayor Nee in regards to L-he general role of the Human Relations Com�nittee. Mr. Nee asked whether the Human Relations C��mmission would care to undertake the idea of an annual Fridley festival, and suggested the theme, "Diversity is our strength." Mr. Belgum also introduced the idea of an Anoka County Bicentennial. He passed around a series of ideas that could be farmulated for such an event. Mr. Belgum said he ha3 spoken with the County Co:ninissioner who was in favor of it, the six county public school superintendents who liked the id�a�, along with the Mayor of Coon Rapids. Grace Lynch said she liked the idea of a Bicentennial if the committeQ 3id not have to do all the work themselves. Karzn gacker asked if there was a commitnient from these other groups to help the Human Relations Conunittee. Mr. Belgum said they had only indicated their interests in the program. Mr. Belgum said funding could possibly come from the State Hucnanities Commission if the program was related to the theme, "The Humanities and public policy in Minnesota conflicts between private rights and public needs." Carolyn Rouse said since the high school did not have an AFS fair this year, they could possibly sponsor something similar to the AFS with booths by different nationalities. Harriet Hudrlilc said the Humanities Commission can suggest certain people they would recommend to use in such a program, and if you used their people they would match whatever funds the committee came up with. REPORT ON C0:�1[JNITY SCHCOLS Ina Prieditis said the next meeting w�uld be Monday, March 3, where the co:mnitteL will be looking at how to publicize and what they will do. Mrs. Priedi�is asked the committee if they had any ideas or suggestions they would like her to present at the next meet-?ng. M�s. Rouse suggested fore3gn language class�es which had F�roved to be quite successful in adult e3ucation in Minneapolis. This is where the students and parents attend classes together. Mrs. Lynch said she would like to see it possil�le where they could attend more than one class per night. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION Peter Herlofsky was present to speak on affirmative action. Mr. Herlofsky began by giving a brief background of affirmative action. He stated that the City of Fridley has passed a resolution stating the City is an equal opportunity employer but the City has no For:nal affirmative action program at this time. Mr. Belgum said that the Coon Rapids City Council asked their Auman Relations ^rnmnittee to come up with an affirmative action program. This was adopted by the City Council November 12 and became effective January 1, 1975. He sugoested such an idea similar to this be created by the Fridley Human Relations Committee. Mrs. Packer said she felt this was the jurisdiction of the City, she felt this was ' quite a bit of work to be accomplished by the cornmittee. Mr. Herlofsky said staff 9� could prepar� a proposal to be reviewed by the Human Relations Committee. The City could set up a proposal for a year and at the end of the perio3 the Committee could � review the action of the City to see that they have met the guidelines. Mrs. Packer commented that it would be a good idea to have input from the Human Relation, Committee in formulating. Mrs. Rouse fett it was impor*ant to get various input from different groups s.uch as developing an ad hoc committee with a citizen advisory , group which the Human Relations Commission would have a representative. Karen Packer felt that members should be from relevant organizations. MOTIOiV BY BARBARA SHEA THAT THE HUMAN RELATIONS CO:�II�TISSION ASK CITY COtNCIL TO HAVE STAFF DRAW UP AN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION POLICY TO BE BROUGHT BACK TO THE HUML�N REL[�TIONS COi�IISSION BY MARCH 20.

They will be holding a program which will oFfer �.wo sessions on April 2. This will consist of a supper meeting and a discussion, The state Humanities Commission will give them matching funds for anything they come up with, The Columbia Heights program has asked that the Fridley Human Relations Committee become a small parr of the snonsorship. This would give them the advantage of using Cable TV. They asked if th�:s committee would join as a sponsor with other groups. The donation of $1 would even help. The committee discussed the idea of sponsoring such a program. Harriet Hudrlik commented that she thought this was for a very good cause.

Chromy Construction Company Box 128 N ew Pxague, Minnesota 56071 Ref: Sanitary Sewer, Water and Storm Sewer Improvement Project No. 114, Fridley, Minn. Gentlemen: Reference is hereby made to your letter of February 19, 1975, concerning the portion which was written in answer to our letter of February 13, 1975, concern- ing t�ao outstanding statements of July 10, 1974, for services we rendered for you which have not been paid. We are thankful for your answer to our letter of February 13, 1975, but we are extremely surprised to find that you are denying any responsibility for payment of these claims and also surprised that your denial was not brought to our attention until seven months after the statement had been sent to you. However this is to inform you that your reasons for denial are completely false and not founded in fact. The first statement of July 10, 1974, was for staking material furnished as to July l, 1974, the total amount of the bill was $282.96. Purchase of this material was authorized by you and your superintendent at the pre-construction meeting in compliance with the General Conditions Specification 16 (GC-16) of your contract with the City.of Fridley. The second statement of July 10, 1974, was in .reference to extra work in the form of restaking that we had performed on your project at the request of your superintend�nt and in accordance with General Conditions Specifications in your contract with the City of Fridley. The particulars on the restaking are as follows: 2-18-74 Replaced 8 hubs and 8 lathes on Arthur Street from existing manhole to manhole No. 3. Stakes had beeri knocked out by the contractor'�s dozer. 2-18-74 Dana Court, sanitary sewer manhole 12 Co manhole No. 13 restaked. 5 hubs � and S lathes, first 100 feet of stakes knocked out by the contractor's dozer. � 2-22-74 Squire Drive, Mississippi Street to Dana Court. Replaced 8 hubs and 8 lath�s for watermain staking. Hubs knocked out by the contractor's equipment. �� r 3-14-74 Squire Drive, Station 12+50 to Camelot. Replaced 7 hubs and 7 lathes. Watercnain hubs knocked out by the contractor's equipment. 0 r . � • � � r. A.J. Chromy Construction Company -2- � l2 E February 21, 1975 3-26-74.

Had to be restaked prior to construction which actually started one month later. � � � 3-28-74 Mississippi Street, storm sewer manholes 59 - 60. 17 hubs and 17 lathes xeplaced.

Almost 3 months later construction started. 5-21-74 & 5-22-74 Replacement of sanitary sewer line previously installed on Arthur Street from existing manhole on 64th to manhole No. 3.

First staking was ordered May i0, 1974. . . , 6-14-74 Restaksd storm sewer on easement of 78th Avenue extended, Main Street to Rancher's Road.

Original staking was ordered by contractor April 30, 1974. Had to be restaked. . b-18-75 Squire Drive from Mississippi to Rice Creek Road restaked. Originally ordered and done April 17, 1974. Restaking was necessary. Construction done two months later. All the above xestaking was done in accorzlance with the General Conditions Specifica- t3ons, Paragraph GC-16, upon order, discussion, instruction, conversation and etc. with the contractor's representatives on the job. Xour letter indicates that you felt the staking expense was to be the engineer's � te�ponsibility. I`m sure in reading the above you will quite clearly see that the exp�nses you were billed for were and are the contractor's responsibility, and your :~�t�ment that this actually caused extra expense to you to continue work in that � !��•final grade level was different than the original staking is completely false, ,<`.xue and with no foundation in fact. , � !� � N 1�� A.J. Chromy Construction Company -2- February 21, 1975 � Another portion o� our letter to you February 13, Z975, discusses the reproduction cost for "as built" plans on your project. Your letter of February 19, 1975, indicates tiiat the engineer should provide these to the contractor. For your information, all the printing cost for plans and specifications prior to award � of contract, such as plans and specifications printed for the purposes of review for competi.tive bids and proposals, preparing sets of recorded contract documents for affected parties, sets of plans and specifications for successful contractor 1 and sub-contractors and material suppliers, are provided for by the city and reproduction cost of same is paid for by the city to the engineer. We are simply asking you to reimburse us for our expenses to provide you "as built" contract � drawings. These drawings are normally not provided to the contractor unless requested. So if you sti11 wish these "as builts" simply send us the checic for the cost of repro�'uctien. . �F � As concerning the two statements of July 10, I97�., zf these matters are not resolved within the next 30 days we will file a claim with the city for reimbursement of these monies. We would prefer not to follow this latter course. Will you please �, give the above matter your serious consideration. � EVC/pmp � cc: Dick Sobiech Virgil Herrick Western Casualty � Field Supervisor inspector Fi'e � i � � Very truly yours, COMSTOCK & DAVIS, INC.

Enclosed please find a memorandum from Douglas Klint of our office to myself summar- izing the statutory regulations and charter requirements regarding election judges. You will note that the Council does have authority to make rules and regulations regarding examination of applicants in order to determine qualifications of judges. According to the League of Minnesota Municipal- ities, they are not aware of any communities that have adopted such regu- lations. At this time I would request the Council or the persons request- ing the ordinance, or rules and regulations, to be more specific about the provisions that should be included in such ordinance or rules and regula- tions.

Stat. � 203.21 contains the statutory requirements for the appointment and qualification of election judges: "Subdivision 1. Exceptin cities of the first class, the council of each municipality... sha11 appoint, in the manner provided for in this section, qualified voters in each precinct therein to be judges of election. The appointments sha11 be made at least 25 days before any election. The appointments shal.i be made from a list of qualified voters provided for in this section subject to the limitations of section 203.22 subd. 1 The council may make such rules as it deems necessary, including the examination of applicants, to determine the qualifications of judqes. (emphasis added) There must be a minimum of 3 judges appointed if a voting machine is used in the precincts, with more judges being appointed as needed for additional voting machines. Minn. Stat. $ 203.21 sub. 4. The eligibility of election judges are governed by Minn. Stat. s� 203.22 which provides: ' . "Subdivision 1. Party balance. No more than haZf of the number of judges in any precinct may be members of the same political party, except where the election board consists of an odd number of judges in a precinct, the � number of judges belonging to one political party may be one more than the numI�er of judges belonging to the other political party. � Subdivismon 2. Eligibility of judges, relationship. No judge may bear the re2ationship of husband, wife, parent, child, brother, or sister to any other judge in the same precinct, a candidate, or any member of the council of the municipality in which he is , a judge or of the county board if he is a judge in an anorganized territory. � � , ' ' Subdivision 3. Eligibility of jadges, other employment. No person may be a jadqe while he is receiving compensation as an employee or officer of the United States, the state, or any municipality or county within the state, except as provided in subdivision 5 of section 203.21; nor may any person be a judge at any election at which he is a can- didate for elective public office. Suboli vision 4. Eligibility of judges, literacy. No person may be a judge un2ess he can read, write, and speak the English language understandingly. Laws 1959, c. 675, art. Iv, $22. ?1 A � -z- The appointment of the chairmen of the election board, vacancies, the oath, and the pena2ty for violation of the statutory provisions are covered by Minn. Stat. S� 203.23 - 3� 203.26. II. Charter Requirements Section 4.05 of the Charter of the City of FridZey (1957) contains the Charter requirements for Judges of election and provides: "The coancil sha11 at least (ZO) ten days before each municipal election appoint three quaZified � voters of each voting precinct to be judges of election therein and two qualified voters of the same precinct to be clerks of election, or as many more or less as may be determined by the council. No person signing or circuZating a petition of nomination of a candidate for election to the office sha11 be eZgible to serve as judge or clerk of sach election. IIT. Ordinance provisions there are none. SUMMARY: Whi1e a monicipality is authorized by Minn. Stat. 203.21 to enact ru2es reguZating the qGalifications of judges, it appears that the City of FridZey has no such ru2es other than that contained in its charter and, in fact, no municipalitg apparentZy has adopted such rules.
