REGULAR COUNCIL ��{EETING OF fEaRU11RY 2, 1976
PAGE 2
The Public Works Director cxplained thai: this request by the Rnttlund Company
is for a variance for a side yard reciuction from five feet to four feet, to
allow the construction to continue on a house and garage at 1f51 Camelot Lane,
N. E. He further stated Lhat it should bc noted that the censtruction at this
point has stopped �vith the place�nent of the foundation in the narage. Ne sard
that the garaye is the only portion involved in this request for a variance.
This request came about when the ver�fication survey too{: place, as shown on
page 1F in the agenda. The yarage was constructed too close to Lhe side yard.
The Public lJorks Director said that hir. Roy Lund, represenl:ing the Rottlund
Company is present to answer any questi�ns we ma,y have.
Mayor Nee asked who owned the land to the east. Was it the developer.
Mr. Lund explained that Tom [3rickner is the owner. P1ayor Nee asked if he
was aware of the petition and Pir. Lund said �that he was.
Councilman Starwalt commented Lhat he ��ras out to look at the property and
noted that they had to pull a lot of ground out. He said that he could not see
the f�undation, and that it looked as though it I�ad been filled over. He said
he also noticed ther•e was a heavy matting, to prevent freezing, presumably on
1;he faundation.
Mr. Lund explained that the verification survey is made after the basement is
backfilled, that is the only way they can get an accurate taping. He�further
explained that they took out approximately 6'-Z feet of dirt and filled i.t back and
compacted it. He said a lot of excess dirt ���as left and there ��ere a lot of
dirt piles and the property line to the east was not really clear. This is.
the reason the mistake was made.
Mayor Nee asked if the footings were going to be satisfactory in that area,`and
Mr. Lund replied that they ;;ould.
Mayor Nee as!:ed if there we�°e any further comments. He said the Board of Appeals
recomnzends to grant tne variance. ..
MOTI�N by Councilman S±arwalt te grant the variznce to re�luce the side yard '?
adjoining an attached garage �i°om t!�e required five fee't to four feet. Seconded �
by Councilwoman Kukewski. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, hlayor Nee de-
clared the motion carried unanimously.

year. In talking to your staff tod�y, they asked us if we would present a
little different type of nursery center and we agreed, but we were told we
would also have to co;;�e in for the Srecial Use Permit for the nursery center
again because oi' tt�e rezonirig i:hat occurred. Thei�efore, we will be applying
for a new permit �•�hen the ne�a design is worked out i•ritfi the Planning Commission
as to how it will sit on the propeety.
Mayor Nee said he v�ould like to uiscuss how the company feels about the parking
area being used for merchandising. Ne said his inclination is that o-le should
have the City Assessor look at the land again.
Generally speaking, P?r. Sieinman said, we �rill just have the t�-ro operations.
The reason i�e v�ant to have somet:hing on the backside of the building is because
it is rather drab, and it does not attract aryone. The Uui?dir.g originally ��as
placed in the �tirong directicn. It shows the bac{:side of ihe buildinc� ti•ihere there
is no activity at all. l�de feei a nice, ciean operation on this backside would
add to the business and atcract more people to our operation. ble have no inten-
tion of puttiny any other operations on the propei°ty.
Councilman F1=,mernil; asked Nr. S1:E>inman if they feel they are putting a limitation
on i;heir perkiny spaces. i�ir. Steinir�an said they were riot because i:he back is too
far from the doors, and LI-�e custome�,s do not use this soace. Public parking is
primarily on the east and north side of the buildiny. Some customers park on the
west side, but a good share of ti-�e parking there is by eir.ployees.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said that it was pointed out that as far as the req�aest
by staff for some pei,manent iandscaping, etc., it was not their intent that this
be the responsibility of thE neti•rly established business, but to have Holiday
Village accepi: this responsibility.
Mr. Steinman said he understood that, but this area is being leased to them.
41e have noi ;rorl:ed cut i:he details as yet, but the area they f;ave laid out for
tneir ooeration ��ras to be iheir expense to upqrade that particular area, and
make their display and 'oe responsiUle for everything within that area. He said
he has not met �vith the Planning Cor.�mission or staff to see what can be worked
out. P•1r. Qecker has met tivith the�n, and he could answer these questions. We
will be responsible for everything that vre agree on.
Mayor Nee asked �vhere the nursery store would be located and Dir. Steinman said
it would be ir� the same general ai°ea. There is a possibility of moving it
further to the south rather than right on the corner. This ���ill be presented
when �ve come in fcr the Special Use Permit.
Mr. Becker addressed P1ayor Nee and the Council and said, first of all, they
are lookirg to Utl�7ZP_ the backside of the parking lot, not interferring with
the parking facilities for the customers. The area is not presently being
used for anything. We propose to have a sales office set up, skirted to look
like i� is sitting in a mobile hoine park. There will be a maximum of ten units
ready for sale and sho��r. 4fe i�ave had the operation moved to the west a�ittle
bit, in an effort to cut cosis �ii haoking up to the se�•rer and 1-rater. We are
closer to the connections anr�! 4J1�2 not require as r�iuch io hvok up the sewer°
and wat�;r to the office.
}
_� l
Mr. Decker then presented trro sketch�s i:o the founcil and st-aff, pointing out
the loc��.tion of 1'he cffice and t:hai, it woi.ild loak like. He explained th�t the
backside of the office wou?d epen up to a court yard, and has sliding glass doors.
He also pointed out �ti�here t!ie parkin9 �;�ould he ac.�•oss tl:e front, apprAximately
150 feet ta the stree+�. Thcr�� i:o�.ild be sufficient custoi��er parking and addiCional �
employee parking. He also pointed out th� high�-ray accE:ss, where grass and trees,
etc. , ar•e naw. ...�
Mayor Fdce asl:ed if the,y ��;o;:ld havc� �oth nr_ti•; and used mob�ile homes. Mr. 6ecker
� replied thcy tivoulcl, hut t.f�,�t i.hcy t�rould not be vcry old, about 3 to 4 years.
' Tiiey �aill be recon�!itionerl bcfore heing broi.��ht. tn thc lot. tie explained that
they have a lot in St. Paul useci for� reconditioniny and clean up of the mobile
l�omes. 11ny uni� t.hat is solu riill f�c taken from t:��is lot t:o �vhere it will be ,

Councilman Fitzpatrick asked how rnuch movinn in ard out they anticipate. Mr.
Qecker estimatc>d some v:here in the c�rca ofi four� to five a month. He further
expTaincd tt�at t.hey ���ill ha�re a sr�axim�i+.�ti of te�1 unit;s. Wi�en customers come
in, we slio��r them i.hem tt�c ten ur�its, �ind if they decide on one and vlant to live
in it r�ight a�•.ay> ��re ivill irmve it to �yhere they �•+aiiti and set. it up. These will
not De pei'maiicnt display hor.es. It �s typical of any mobile t���^ie sales. As far
as the landscapiny is concerned, iii talking ���ii:h a nu�n�er �f people ahout tearing
u� the blac{:topti!i�1g, I i-�ad both pro 4nd con re��ctions from a numb�r of stand-
points. I viould like to use turf, I�e said, as 1 feel it ��+ill �•iear much better.
The ai°ca is c�oin, to have a lot of people �ralking across it and regular grass
will get ben� do�,rn. I have talked Lo pcople ahout astro turf and it could be
laid out on the blac{;top and glued down, and rrould not sho�v the ���ear and tear.
Illso, he centinued, �if ale t•rere io tear up the blacktop, there could h� drainage
'probler,is, as it PlOU�CI i;IlBll be a?o�� area. He said he int.ended i;o use redvrood
chips around the border in the fl•ont of the office. The back would have a 20b,y
60 foot pi�ce of astro turf. Alsc in this area, there vrould be picnic tables and
lawn chairs to look like the bacl: yard of a mobile home park. Light �NOUId be
utilized as far as display and :or security at night.
Counc�ila��e...i� I:uko��,�s{:i said tha* r,1r. Gec{:er st?ted he �vould be e�oving four to
five units a month. At the Plam;ing Cem,!�ission mee+ing, she said she understood
this t�ould not be a case of a high tin�n-over, and that a lot of their units would
be set up in ir�obile hon�e par{:.s. She said she feels four or five units a month is
a high ti�rn-over, especially ��,V�en she thinks of ho4v mam: pea�le go in and out of
Nol�day Village ano hc�� r�eavy the traffic is �I1 highway 47. She said she �vas
under tlie impression that they �•rould shotv the mobile homes and then tell the
people they would take tl�em i:o ihe park ��:here a unit is stored and set up.
Mr. Qecke��° explained that the average person does not have much luck in sellir�g
mobile I�omes. They do not 4;now lioaa to set up the financing> e�c. This is the
r��ajorit.y of c!,r sales. Ide have a listir�g of people living in mobile homes. 4J2
are going to t�y and sell people the units set: up in the mobi�e hor:�e parks, but .
there �vill be se,re people �•.�hc �ti�� il l,�ant a��a.rticula�� unit. t�ioving �>���mits would
he regulated vrith the City as fai° as routii;g and t�ime ef inev�ing, etc. There
t�ou'd noi be r�iure than four ta five units a n;onth, an�l seme mobile home sales
move as many as tv�enty a month.
Council��oman Kukor:�ski said �hut �he �rajorit.y �f these places are on High�Nay 65,
and noi; vahere there ���ou'd be a lot cf c�stomers goiny in and out as at Heliday
Village.
t�1r. �ecker said the.t as far as the traffic is concerned, no on� �eems to think
it �4ou?d b� a problem. 1lie store doesn't utilize the area ��or customer parking.
f=ive unii:s a month ��rould be a total ti;ne period uf 1=2 'iours a month. ,
Mr. Stc�inman asked I�r. Bec4:ei° if they �4�i11 have to take out a permit to move
these hon;es each time t•dith the City of Fridley. h1r. Becker said that he be-
lievec� they� v�ould have i:o go to the �tate. Ile ti�ougi�t the,y ��rould i�ot be able
to move_ them tnrouch the City of Fridl�y, and not be able *o use University

thc:n t� Central if they are �;,oviry �'.oi°Lh.
Ptr. St�irman remarked f;hat. if there is a concern ahout the traffic, a time arould

be a proble�n as T�ar as they ti•rf:•re conc:,rncd.

follo�•red.
7he CiY.y Attorney asked ho�•r �r�n,y free standin� S1(j115 were �n this location, and
the Public 4torks Director said Le helieved therc �er�r� t��;o. He added, that
bUsed on the pro�lem ���e are f:�;vir,cj 4�'Itfl i:haC ordinance, the only requirement
would be on tf�e �-;all type sign on the mobfle ho:rie. ihe City Attorney suggested
this be ioo{:ed into as there�could be a problen�. iie said h� didn't know ���hat
they are anticipating to ask for, but as long �s thi� is one parcel of property,
he said he thinks they have t'ie n;aximum of fl�ee-s�.�ill�itl�j signs that Chey are
a 11 o�•red .
Mr. Qecker said tha� he had talked wiiii f�fr. uoardman and hE said he did not
think it �rould bc a proL;en� i;o I;ave a 5 bv 10 �eo� siqn on the sales lot.
Councilman Fitzpatrick �sl:ed if any netificat-io�i of � hearinq ��ras sent out on

that a hearing notice t�ras sen* �o i.he s!n-rouncling pr�o;,eri,y owners G•�ithin a 300

and basically, they have m�:de their request for a r.i.bi;e home sales operation.
7he Pub?ic 4�orks �irec�o;• sa;d itiui: h��� did I�a�•e a oue_i;ion, and asked P1r. Becker
if they felt as though they cnuld ccm;ete wit` the ar,our�. of mobile hume sales
already in the area. P1r. ncckcr said definit.^.ly the�� cculd. There will not
be that man,y mobile homr� ;or peori� �,�aiitirg to mcve to another location.
7he Fi�bl ;r Woi°ks Director sai,a tl;at t:rie only proi;le;� t-ro�;1d be that they ��rould

he felt it is too bad �ve cannot coi;�e �ap �r�ti�� sor.�ething a little more pleasing

Th� City Manager asked ti;e F�.;blic blorks D7Y'��f.C!' if irey svere positive, according

REGULl1R MEETING OF fECRUARY 2, 197E PAGE 7
Mr. Steinman said that he ac�rees with some of these statements and sorne he
does not. It �•ras his suggestion, ti� sa�id, t;o post a bond that this work
would �e done. He said ihey are all atten�ptin9 to cooperate in every way
with the Planning C�,ami�sion ard follo�.r the plan they �lanted for landscapinq,
etc. Hc said they �;�ould be responsible for anything that had to be done.
Ne further stated 1:hat perhaps thei�- housekee�ing hasn't Leen thc best, but
that other f�ousekcepiny in the City of Fridley in comparison has not been that
good either. He r.:entioned that he talked with their neighbors around Holiday
Village and gave them his name and tclephone number and said that if they had
an,y complaints they shou',d call him personally, but h� has not received any
calls.
The City Maiiager e>:plaired that �•rhat he is saying is lookii�g at past history,
a lot of promises f�ave been irade, and �;�e certainly are appreciative of that.
He said there �•ras a need on their part for rezoning and a desire on the part
of i:he City to make su��e a�e could upgrade the property. It aras a mutual under-
standing and he said he hopes this can continu2. He f�n�ther stated that he vaas
not tryiny to make discouragir.y remarks, he �;�as merely tryii;g to bring out.some
of the c�ncerns. fie said that horefi.�lly, their business will continue to
flourish as it has in the past, and tliey a�ill do some oi the upyrading that 4re
desire.
Mayor ldee stated that he i•ras very ambivalent about if;. He feels as thouoh
we have enouqh mobile home sales in the area. The v�ay {�e see's it, he said,
on the negat-ive side, first of all, it adds clutter to Fridley, plus the other
conceri�s that have.been brought out.
Coun�ilman Star4aalt said P�e supposes it is all in the eyes of the beholder. He
said ii; i;heir viea�, this �,rould be a con�patible operation ar�d not an unsighcly
situafiion. He comn�ented thac Le cannot think of another locutioi� that would be
better.
P1r. Becker said that they felt this was a good l.ocation both traffic wise
v'isibility and i;�;e availabilii;y of a space not being used. He said a lot of
people in the r�oL�ile ho�ne buyir�g ca�acity sh�p this area.

so far, he feels he �•rould have iess reservations in secing soiriething else gu in

about tfie ene year 1 ease and I�o�,v i t i s goi ng i:o be handl ed. He feel s thi s

Counc�ilman FitzpatricE: said that his feelings would be that he doesn't feel it
is r,�aking qood use of the parki�ig are,�, and thai he agrees with Councilman
FI•air�ti�iiil; as iar� as any immediat� action is concerned. He said he 4�rould like to

The City Attorney said it is a Special Use fermit �°equest that is required for
an outdoor display. He said i;hat it came up ratJ�Er quic4:ly and he has not had
an opportunity to ehecE: i;�to 'fi thoY'ou9hly. It: iS properly zoned. I have not
lool:eci into the question �f having taro scparat.e Lu;ir�esses on one piece of pro-
perty. Ne stated that it seen;ed to him there should be additional information
before the Council as to mo��einent of these mohile homes and the other problems
focused here tonight.
��ayor Nee asked the City llttorney to susta�n the denial of a Special Use Permit
requ�res some findings, in ��ti�at area.
The Cii:y Attorney explained i:hat tl��e operation oti 'r.he business requesting the
Special Use Per�nit would 'r��ve a,i adverse condit?:�r ,�n the health, safety and
we?fare of the co��run�t;;. A Spccial Us� Permit. is not like a rezoning where
they ai°e requestirg a charge, because the zor,iiiq i; such that it is permitted
!! unless it can be establishc� thai, the operation in ti�is particular location
would have some adverse effect.

it has been explained i:hat they wi�l be takinc! a diffei-ent rou*e and th�s is
fine, but they ��rill be movina a lot of tra`fic from '�he �ar sicle because of these

people are yoing to be comiaininy about it. Arothei° roncei,n she continued, are

Rui�F SiGid�� SH�KE4;GOD �NOPi'Ii�G CEir'lf.ft:
The Public tJorks Direc�or said �hat the Council has received a memorand!�m
from himself to the Cii:y f��anager giving backgiround information and what has
developed regardirg ce•rtain sir,.ning at the Shorewood Shopping Center. Qasfcally,
he said, in January tne City Council approved a variar.ce request from the sign
ordinance where th� netitione;°, thrcugh his attorney, requested roof.signs be
pei�mit.ted in adc;ition to er.i�tirg free standirig signs. As noted in the ordinance
it�e use o{ a roof sign �,�ill sub�titute a free standing sign in one section.
tlnothc:• section state��. t��a� ane free standing sign be allotved for each building.
Th�e original ir�trr�pre�acion for the first part �cas that roof signs on the
shopping center =trttci��r•� t�:ould b^ allewed if suhstl1;Ut^d for a free standing ;
sign. -The seco��,:i ir�tr;ri�retai.ion ���as that only tva� Tree stanc�ir.g b� a11ct,�ed. ,
The Stiore�.rcod Shcpping Center has t�un existing free standing signs; one an i
area ;dentif�cation s�gn, ar�9 or.e free standing King fl;alet business sign.
The E�etitiener•, after discussion o�F inii:ial req;:est, basically agreed IN11:i1 tIl@
stzff �nc! proceeded to ��rocess ih� variznce request i:o be d��OIVPC� t0 install
roof sions or the shoi�ping center, wiiich 4�as dama��ed by a wird storm. 'ihe
Councii✓concurred lYl{:Il the A;?peals Comniissicn's recom�nendations that only i;hree
rriore roo�` siqi�s be pe�°n�iti:ed a;�d pi°ior tu addi�ic�nal signs being ii�stal ied, t:hat
the P:ing �halet fr�e star:liny sign be reinoved.
Su�sequent te these origina? approvals, the petitioner again requested a siqn
pern;it fur ai�other� roof sig�� in addition to the t.fu,ee approved by the Council.
The staff inricated ��rhat the original approval had heen and the stipulations.
The petitioner then voic�:d scme objeci:ion to the oricinal interpretation of
the siyr� c��de. Gasically, he pointed out that the Kii�g Chalet sign should be
associated ti•rith the resiaus-ant. ro�;Y.ion of the shoppirg center. Our interpreta-
tioii svas tiie King Cl�alet siqn f�ad been discontinued for a period of three months.
Ne indicated this s��as n.ot: the case, the sigr, �,as :till in us�. il�c King Chalet,

it was suggested to go cv:��• th� �irterpretation t��iT.h the Cit;y Attorney, �vnich ��e

The City llttorney said he would like to explain his reason for this
interpretUtion. Specifically, �nc�n you c�o through the siyn ordinance
you do not find anytl7inc� ans�•rerin9 this question. You get into a situation
where yuu have a non-conforming sign ��rhich ��ras allo�,�ed to be constructed
for the restaurant . t3ecause ii was in existance before the code vaas
adopted, it is allo;red to contimic. Then, vre are faced ��rith the question
that if a netv tenn:lnt nioved into the sfiopping center, if the City took the
position Clie fi°ee standing sign was in licu of any roof or arall signs, then
the ne��,� busir�ess �•iould not be able to have a sign. He could not put up a
free standing sign because the code says there can only be one free standing
siyn per parcel per fi�ontage. It already has t��:o free standing signs so it
Ytould be precluded from having a free standing sign. Then, if we further took
the �osiiion they could not have any roof signs because the restaurant free
standing sign is auihorized in lieu of a roof sign, a business moving in could
not have �u�y siyns.
F�10TIOi� bf Councilman Starv�alt to allo�v roof signs to be installed at the Shore-
vlood Sho4:ping Center as per the City Ordinance. In effect, to remove that
previously established limit and conforH� to the City Code. Seconded by Council-

and feasible in costs. t�Je vrould recommend that tlie plat he approved or be
approved on the ai�aard of the contract and that the Resolutions ordering the
improvements for 1•latcr, Sanitary Sewer and Storm Se�ver be adupted for advertise-
ment of bids.
t4ayor hee summed up saying t•�e then have the option of anproving the plat and
ordering the project and not actually er.ecutinc� the order unless the bid is
riyht and everyone aqrees, or not approve the plat, but order the advertisement
of the bids and then approve the plat.
The Public Works Director said `.hat if it is so desired, we could bring the
' plat back at tLe a��rard of i:he bid and have a better idea of how the a�•rard of
, the bid �rould actu�lly effect t}ie properties. SJe do not normally deal in a
vague area, vre normally are dealing �•�ith final specifications on specific
plats that have beer. recorded and approved. The only problem we might have
would be some difficult�� ���ith the actual recording i:hici� might jeopardize the ,
completion daties of the construction. Ho��rever> �ae could set up the speci�ica-
tions subject to a�•.�arding tl�e bid a�ithin 30 days and the contractor bec�inning
consi.ruction �•+ithin 30 days, depending on how the Council wants to go. We are
at t.he point ���here aie are tying all the loose ends tngether and ��e could provide
�ddiiional information to propei°ty o4rners if we .�uld yo ahead with the o�°deo•ir�g
of the advei°tise�nent for the bids.
� Councilman Starti�alt commented that ihe Public tJorks Director used the term
"vague". Ne said he receives the impression that substantially it is firm,
except in one or two areas of vagueness.
The Public lJor{;s Director said that is true. The only area we could have a pro-
blem is in setting up the cor�rletion dates and the actual recording of the plat.
Perhaps in t��;o to thi�ee r�eeks we could have the final s�n�vey completed aild the
f' 1 drlfting of it and then fiave it recoF'ded. The Puhlic lti�orks Director asked

ina �
I��r. Henriksen if he knev; of any reason, once the plat was drafted, it could not ._ � #
be recorded, ai�� Pir. Fient�ikseil replied that it could be recorded. : � -
The Public ldorks Director said that if there are not any difficulties in } S
actually recording the plat after final information has been given, it would not . �
be out of order to delay or continue final app�roval of plat until we can act on , ;
the final a�ti�ard of the contr•act. hlith�in three to four ��.�eeks from the awarding
of the centr-act, if the costs coir.e in like �ve hepe they will, the plai: could be .�
recorded and their �•�ould be no J°opardizin� the completion dates regarding the
extra time for approval of plat. The developer could then proceed with th� draft 4
and sur��ey, etc. In the meantime, we could adopt tne F;esolut�on {�:b 8y^der the impi°ove- �

DISCUSSIGN: SI�OIJ PL01-,IfdG; SENIOR CITIZE�;S; TRA��SPORTATION FACILITIES:
At this point, P1r,. Carl P;elson, a visitot�, addressed t.i�e Nayor and Council and
introduced l�iir:self. !{e said th�?t he did not have a petition, hor�ever,, if he did,
� he felt everyone in the room a;ould sic�n it. Ne explained i;hat he was present to
express his cencerns about the sno��� plo�,;�ina situai�ior in the City of Fridley.
� He said tf�at he has to pay 55.00 �very time he emplovs someore to clear his drive-
� t�ray, ar�d tl�en the City co,?�es a�ong and pilshes th� s��oi�� hac!: into the driveway again.
He said i` the City �-iould add it inio their o!�dc,et nexi. year i:e clear tl�e ridges
of the dri��e�;�ays, the people �aould app�°eciate it very much.
� '. _ .
..�.
The Aub7ic I!or�ks Director explai�7eci ciiat at t��e preseni: time, Fridley does not
have a di-ive�-;ay sno�r pio��;ing policy. We feel that it �is qu-ii:e er.!�ensive as t-�e
would need additional mai�pc�,�er and additional en,uipment to get into i;t;ose con-
fined areas or thc� drive�,��ays. The fact that ��,e uo havc: app�°oximately 6,000
single family r�esidents in the City, it would be ��uite costly, If �,�e r�ou7d pi�t
that particular properLy on a low priority afier thc side�;;aiks and strcets are
ploti•lnd, and th�n go back, �t ti-rould pt,o6ably have been tal:en care �f already.
Mayor Nee asked what is physica]7y involved in ploi,�ing drive�•,�ays, t-a;,at aci:ually
happens.
7he Public lJor•i:s Directoi° expl�ined that the si:reets ai�e p"lo��;ed with a large dump
truck. This type of equip;ncnt could not be used ;or dr;vel:�ays. Presently, iti�e
use ti>>°ee to four pick-���p truck> for sidewalks anci cul de s:css and �,�e �aould� necd
addii:ional irucks t� provide adeq,�ate s�i°vice foi° �11 of the residents o� fri�ley.
By t�ie t.ime 4ve completed plc��!ing all of the drive���ays, ano"hcr srow iaill hav�
taken place.
(�1ayo�° I`ee asked sr!�ai. �•rould i�e involvecl ii; just takiny care of the ridges, and
not the entire dt•ivetvav.
The PuLlic t�lot°fs Directoi, said tf�f� equi}ament. is noi capable of rnaneuveriny
iirto the_tlrivc,�ays. _ If rre �•ro�,i7d get involvecf ir� t��,:�ir.� care of i:he ridges, the
question t��ould coine up of ti��hy nc;t� takinq�care of ihe dr�ive��aays. �
t•ti�. Nclson said that approxim�;tely 90" of the t,esidents of l=i,idley are complaining
about this ��robiem, and iic fc1C so�nethiny could be done aLout it.

Mr. Ehlers then anncunced th�lt the best bid WdS presented by Allison-l�Ji1liums
Company.
Mr. Ehlers commented that there are three bids before tne Council this evening.
/1 year ago for a similar size sale,you iiad t��:o bids. The net interest rate a
year ayo i-�as 5.79. Tonight, it is 5.09. In comparing thesc bids �vith others
that I am ativare of, you have a very competitive bid for your con�idera.tion.
We �vould recommend you accept it. You have t;vo options, to accept the lowest b;d,
or to i�ejeci: all of them.
He further stated that i.he City of Fridley has contir�ued their k-? i•atinq.
He said they did make an effort to increase it again this year. It was increased
last year. lJe think we made some proyress and feel that Your conimunity will re-
ceive the one higher step rating at some �oint in the not �oo disiant future,
Wii:i� the A-1 rating, thei�e are only tti�ro ratings highzr. The A-'; rating for a
City of your size, he said, speaks very highly of your r.ommun�ity.
The finance C�irecto�� said that he wou?d recommend to the City Counc�il tha�;
Allisom-lvilliams Coi,�pany, Inc. be a��arc;ed the bid.

Dear Nasim,
ANOKA COUNTY
564-3450
FRIDLEY, MIfJNESOTA 55432
3anuary 20, 1976
It has come to the attention of the Human Resources Commission
that r4r. Elmars �'rieditis may apply for an appointment to the
• _Cammunity AevelopmenC Commission. If he does, I would like to
bring to �-our attention the valuable assistance he has given
to osr Commi.ssion as Chairperson of the Housing/Public Accom-
modations Projec:t Committee.
� Mr. Prieditis ��egan his valunteer service last July when he
attended Fridley rutures - a Human Resources seminar. Sub-
sequent to the seminar, Elmars willingly donated his valuable
1 �rofessional tim� as an�architect to develap the goals and
ohjectives for the Housing/Public.Accommodations Project Com-
mittee. These goals and objectives were approved by the
Human Resources Commission and are now being incorrorated
, into comprehensive plans at the P]_anning Commission.
The voiunteer scrvice and interest in assisring the City by
� Elmars did not ceas.e with the completion of the goals and
ob�ectives. He acted as the consultant to the Human Resources
Commission in all matters related to our responsibi.lities for
1 housing and public accommodations. He is currentiy serving
on the ccmmittee which is reviewing the Fridley Comprehensive
Hausing Plan for our Commission.
�
�
�
�
�
The professiona2 qualifications, interest, dedication and
�ail.lingness of Mr. Prieditis to improve our community is
tesCimony to his value as a resident of Fridley and certainly
warrants considexation for appointment. The Human Resources
Commissian, as a body,hez.rtily and �ith extreme p.leasuz-�
endorses tihe appaintz�ent for Mr. Pr.ieriitis.

MOT�ON by Scott, seconded b� Lang���fe1d, that the agenda be amended to
a2low a grovp of �oung peopJ.e to make a presentation to the Planiiing Commis-
sion. Upon a voice vote, ai1 voting aye, t�� motion carried unan.imousZy.
. Mr, Mark Treuen�els, 5248 Norizon Dr'ive h.E. said he would like to pre-
'� sent a proposal for a Teen Center. The proposal was presented to Chairman
Harris.
, Mr. Treuenfels said that the resuli:s of a survey by the Fridley Youth
Project Com�niitee indicated a desire for a te�n center by Fridley teenagers.
This teen center wou1d serve as a ireeting pl�ce for youth where social con-
tact would Q� possible. This would �e an a�ternative �o present facilities,
' s�applying recreation ai: a minimal cast. �
we wi1l ask the Ciiy Council to grant the usa�e of �he unoccupied library
' space across from ti7e police station. If the space was ok�tained, we propose
to stock �t ��r�ith the iollowing facilities: 2 coln operated foosball tables,
2 ping-pon� i:ables (park �epartm�nt), pinball machine (coin operated), furni-
�ui^e, whicf� would include tables and chairs, carpeting, and possibly a used
' TV (to be :;cr.ated}, and a rTOVie sc��een a��d projector, to be bo,�rowed from the
Fridley �;brary when needed.
,

To get this organized, a teir.parary board,consisting of Mike �larsnik, Pa�
Q'Neili, F3�rnie and Pat i<lein, hed S'corla, Mark ireuenfels, and Sr. Elizabeth
of Grace Nig}� School, would draw up a ch�rtei� providing for the means�of eiect-
ing a;�ermanent board. ��1n would also promote public interest by advertising
'in local schual and City� neti-aspapet,s, puttiny posters up in schools ai�d tivriiing
p.A. an►touncFments. Ti�e �emporary boar�d wi11 then be ii� charge of or•ganizirig
1:he elect.ioi� of the permanent }�ozrd, and will disband.
Ti�e pe�°���anerit board ti�iil v�ri�:c rules ard regulations �rhich �,�ill gover� the

Plan��ing Commi$sion Meel;inc� - February 4, 1976 Page 2
'Mr. 7reuenfels said thc proposal he had presented to the Planning Commis-
sion was much more detailed il�ari what he had presented at this meeting. Ne
said they may be hiring a part time director for this teen center if it was
necessary.
3R
Mrs. 4lahlberg said it aaas mentioned that they hoped to get funding from
the Fridley businessmen and from the coin operated machines. She asked if they
had any estimate of how much funding they would need. Mr. Treuenfels said there
was no way of estimating the funding they might need at this time. Ne said
that if they hired a professiona1 director, this vrould make a difference in
the funding requirements. Mrs. Wahlberg�asked if they were a.sking the City
to donate this space free for your use, including the heat, electricity, etc.
t�1r. Treuenfels said they tivould be able to take care of the maintenance of this
room.
Mrs. 4Jahl�erg asked Mr. Qoardman if tf�e City had an�icipated any use of
this library space? Mr. Qoardman said they were doing a utilization stu�y at
the preseni: time, to see if we need any addit�ional staff space. He said this
study shou1d be completed in early March, so that at this time he'could not
make a determination as to whether or not we do need that space. Mrs. Wahlberg
said she knew that some of the staff 4•�ere using that space at the pr^esent time.
�1r. E3oardman said it was being used by the Planning internes and Planning aides
at the presen�; time on a i;emporary basis.
Mr. Boardman asked (�1r. Treuenfels what hours of operation they were think-
ina of vrith tl�is proposal, and how would they conflict with the normal City
business hours. Pir. Truenfels said he didn't think i� would interfere t�rith
the »oi°mal operations of the City. They intend:�d to have it open..after school
and ti��eek-ends. It would probably be op�n six to � hours.
Mr. Boardman said he could see som� confiict in having a teen center so
close to the operai:ion of City government. There v�rould be a certain amount
of no�se being generated from this area, especially witn jute boxes. Game
tak�les and oth�r uses of this room would yenera±e noise. W? have had a
similar problem with the foosball tak�le and the ping-pong tab,les in the Parks
and Recreal:ion Departr�ent. The Parks and Recreation Deparment has had to
limit �he use of these f�ciliiies quite severely due i:o noise ►vhich has hindered
City operations.
Chairman Narris said it might be well tc send this propasal do�•Jn to the
nie���5er Coimnissior�s so they cou1d study it anc! come up w�ith som� recommendations.
1 M�°. Scott sai d thi s i tem ���as on th� Human Resources Agenda for Febi,uary
5, 1976. He said this FridleyYouth Proj�ct Committee was a project con?mittee
of the Iluman Resources Co;m.�ission. Chairman Fiarris said he was thirking more
, of the Parks & Recreation Can;mission taking a look at this. Perhaps they could
come up W11:I1 an alternate location.
Mr. Scott said th�t many proposals for teen centers fail,:and tor tt�is �'�a-
' s�n i.he Youth Project Comni�ttee ��ad been in liaison �vith the Univei�sity of
(�iinnesota Center for Youti� Developn�ent and Reseai•ch for advice and assistance

Piannin Commission r�ecting - FebruarY 4, �97G Paqe 3 � B
Mr. 13er�man said Lhat it woulcl seem that this group had spent some time
on this proposal. Ne asked Mr. 7reuenfe1s if the�ir yroup fel1; that they could
adequateiy control such activi�ies. He said he was referrin� to overly-active
customers, noise, etc. ,
Mr. Treuenfels saici they had thought about that, and �his was the reason
they vaere seeking volun�eer coun;elor�s, and this would give them adult super-
vision if it was needed. .
Mr. Boardntan said he didn't know the relationship between the police and
youth, but he ��londered what effect there would be to having i;he police depa�=t-
ment across the ha11 from the teen center, as far as atf.endance. �•�r. Treuenfels
said they had alread,y anticipated this and in surveying t��e you�h, they found
thai; 20 out of 25 didn't mind this at all.
Mrs. Ilelen Treuenfels said this was a two way relationship. She thouaht she
should find out how the police felt about hayin� a teen age center across frbm their
department. �he said she talked to Sgt. Kennedy and he thouc�ht it tivas terrific
and said he ti�rould be willing to appear before the City Counc�l on this proposal.
� MOTIOh' by Beryman, seconded by Langenfeld, that the Planning Commission
receive the proposal for developing a Fridley Youth Center. Upon a voice
vote, a1.Z voting aye, the motion car.ried unanimously.

t�r, t_angenfeid said h� realized t:he secretary and Plann,ing staff hao been
busy because of having tht,ee Planninc� Commission meetings in a ro��r and also
making changes in the Com{�rehensive Housing Plan, but the fa�.i: that �;hcy had
only received tf��ese m�ic�utes i:his evening, he iound it difficult to approve them.
' Mr. Scott said tl�e memt�ers�could take time to read them. Mr.

1 . Boardman said t;his was normal procedure, but last �'riday the only item ready for the
agenda vras the Planning Conmiission minutes of the January 21st meeting. bJe
were wai ti ng for the Conmiuni ty Devel opn!ent minutes because vre wanted thei r
' recommendations on the Co�»prehensivc Housing Plan. The secretary far that
Commisszon er,pected to complete these minutes on Monday. Instead of this
happening, the secretary became ill and has been hospitilized all of this
� week. 6y that time, the Planning Com�nission secretary was working on the
minutes of the January 2Bth Planning Commission meeting, which V�eren't com-
p7eted until this morning. It was due to this set of circun�stances that the
ager�das a�ere not delivered at the nori,�al time. He said he wanted the January 'L8th
, minutes ready for this meeting. We did not have any other items for the agerida
� because the Comprehensive ftousing Plan was a separate book.
, Mr. Scott said this was the first time the Planning Commission hadn't
received their agendas well in advance of the Planning Commission meeting, and
it was due to unusual circums�;«nces.

MOTION by Wahlbexg, seconded by Langenfeld that the Planning Commission
minutes of January 21, 1976 and January 28, 1976 be tabled until the next meeting.
Chairman Harris said that a motion to table superceded the mo�ion for approval.
Upon a voice vote, Wahlberg and Langenfe.Zd voting aye, Scott, Bergman, and Harris
voting na�, tlie motion failed.
Chairman Harris said that they could now go back to the main motion.
Mr. Langenfeld said it wou1c(n't be in thF best interesi: of the Planniny
CnmI111SS;on to approve these minutes vrhen they hadn't been completely read through.
f�1r. Scot-t said P1r. Langenfeld should speak for himself. He had read ihe minutes and

Mr. Qoardman said it should be noted i:hat under 1'olicy Development
and Implementation Plan on page 1�, vie did add the housing maintenance
code. This had bcen left out, and it w�s not our intention to leave this
out of the plan. (A,2). Under A, 4, we did have just the con�inuation of
the bike��ray/tivalk►-ray plan and 4��e have added the s�udy of oth�r transpori:ation
forms. 41e felt it was necessary �o study these also to increase accessibility
in the City. Ne said they also made an addition under E. on page 16. 4Je
added "The City must realiz� that its zoning policies have a great impact
on the long-range development of Fridley. It should therefore examine and judge
each proposal for future development for iis effecis on the environment, ti�e
Metro region and trie quality of life in Fridley."
Mr. Qoardman said those were the major changes in the plan. They also
put in bo1�f� the figure and �ercentage ��,here possible. He said that in their
low-;:o-moderate income level housing, they had to change the figures because
these figures had been based on the structure value only and Metro-Council
bases their figures or, market value. 4Je rejuggled our figures to agree
with P�etro Counci 1 and IiUD figures, so uae only have 349 owner occupied units
instead of the previous 745 units, We now �;�ve 13B pr�oblem units out of the
'349 instead of 22B out of the 745 uni�:s.
Mr. Scot-t said he would like to amend the motion, seconded by Wahlber.q,
to regt�est the staFf to ider�tify .b� title what the charts consist of, and
identify the map series by cahat the maps pertain ta, and include these in
the table of contents.
Mr. Qoa.rdman said they intended to have an expanded table of contents
when thi s pl an ��ras pri nted. �
Mr. Bergman saicl the motior on th� floor �ti�as a very encompassing motion, and
he would like to zest a pari; of it. He said that on page 15 of the Plan he
said the three propcsals to ap�ly �:or funds ti�!hich were i.r� riake application to
I�UD ior Community De��elopment funds, to make aaplication for Minnesota Housing
Finance P,genc� funds and to make appl�ication ror Sect�ion 8(rent subsidy) funds.
He said he was a little bit concerned at our last-meeiing. He said ave ali
recognize i;he benefits to our community and certainly to selected applicants.
However, i;here was a negative side. He said that as he understood it and
recallecf i'rom ihe last meeting, for all but Section B�housing, the property
involved tivas not taxed at the going rat.e. In other words, the rest of the
community subsid�zc�s ihe property tax. This was the property involved in
both the I�ii nnesota F-i nance Aqenc,y and Commu�ii ty Devel opment �undi ng, so vre
are recon;mending a�:ax subsic�ation pragr�l"l. �ir. Scott. sGid we were not. No
�rhez�e in this document traere we recomrne�iciir�g such a p►�ogram. Mr. Qer�gmar sa�d
he agreed wii;h I'�1r. Scoit in that it was n;�t so stated in this document, but
we are in effect i°econ,mending subsidy progra,ns that were not �oing to be taxed
at the gcing rate. h1r. Scott ac�ain said no. Mr. 6oar�n��an said the only
properi:y that �vould no� b� taxed was wf�en the Federal Goverrment o��ne� that
housing, or the Housing Ruti�ority owned that housirzg. Mr. Qergnian said that
under 23G Ilc�using t';e assessm�nt: ratc ��ras only 50��. Mr. Leek said that they

on mortaqe loans and has nothing to do with the tax situation. Ile said that
on nac�e 16 under G, they did state that "It is further recommended that the
City continually review exis�:ingfed�ral, stateand local programs for commun-
ity development funds. The City should make application to those programs
for which it is eligible." In this case, he said they would have to keep
a continual ti��ai:ch on whai: federaT programs were available, and not just
limi� ourselves to tF;r4se i;hree programs.
Mr. Qergman said that anotl�er thing that bothered him was the person pre-
senting the availability of these funds obviously was in a very posi�ive
frame. She talked about the 13 eon�munities whichw�ere already under Section
8 housing. She said this was a great pragram and that next year they plan
on having 26 communities participating in this program, and more the follow-
ing year. He said that someone else mentioned thai we had already paid our
way. He said he had no quarre7 with that, but where was the line betw�en
wha�: are have paid for and requ�sting programs that wi11 raise the fiederal
taxes.
Mr. Boardman said that he thought that you would find that in a deterior-
ating community that if sorne action was not taken, this deterioration will
tend to continue, if not exhilarated, S�eps have to be taken and monies
have to be provided from somewhere, if not from the Federal governmenl;,
then either State or iocal government. How much would local governments
be willing to spend for the preservation of neighborhoods. He said it v�as
pointed out during the pre��ious meeting that if Fridley did not apply for
Federal funds, how muc� difference would that make in Federal taxes, as far
as t�ieir spending goes. He:said that wl�ether Fridley cur�ailed asking for
funds or made applica±ion for funds, it woulcj not stop the Federal govern-
ment i�rom allocating funds for certain projects.
Pat Brennen said t{�ere had been studies made, and it cost a lot more to
rehabilitate areas tha�t were in a bad state of deterioration than it cost for
programs of preservation, so if you were balancing these programs, it was
much aetter to•apply for preservation funds than to finance a full scale
program for det�riorated housing. She said this tvas the League of Women
Voters stand.

Mr. Scott said he shared Mr. [3ergman's concern the way Federal funds were
circled ar°ot�nd in �c���er�increasi�ig amounts, and comm�.�niti.es trying to get their
share of f.hese funds. H� thought this problem.tvas best addressed at the ballot
box. He t{�ou�ht ��e hacl sufficient problems in our community so that we should
take advantag� of federal programs that had alreauy been fur.ded. Ne said w.e
shou�dn't deny the people of Fridley �l;he use of these funds just to provP a
poii�t.
1 i�1rs. Wahlberg said tha* as long as there are governmental agencies which
are out sellinq these pr•ogr�ams to the conui�unities, ti�rhether we cui°e 1:o join
them or not ti�ould not affect the amouni: of mor.ey that we aaere going to pay

Planning Commission Meetinq - Februa� �l, 197G Pa4� � 3 F
Mr. E3ergman said tha1: he agreed wi�;h many of the �:hings tha�: had been
said, and this aras vahy he l�ad brouyht up the subject so it could be discussed
in this way. HG said he did not mean t;o imply that he had taken one side
or the ol;her as a firm position. I�e said he agreed wii:h Mrs. b�ahlberg,
but he did get tired of politicians saying �;hat the public �rras demanding
more services, therefore, we need money for these programs. He felt that
wi�;h these reconm�2ndations that we were part of that public who were
making these demands. He said we were an a�rrfully small fish in the stream,
but we were joining.
Nir. Harris said that Mr. Gergman liad_�a valid point, and someday the
government 4�as qoinq to have to sit down and work out some priorities. He
said he was also concerned about ��rhat they had been discussing, but the
alternatives, and he was thinking about the deterioration of the City, was
not very promising, and we �rould like to help provide the City with well-
kept homes.
Mr. Ber�man said that private enterprise or personal initiative were not
mentioned as alternatives. Mr. Harris said there was an alternative by vrhich
privai:e en��rprise coiild do the job, but that would need help from the
legislature and that was tax incen�:ives. He said it was his feeling thai
you cou1d do away with all rehabilitation.programs if we t�rent to a system
of tax incentives.
Pat Brennen said that the Michael Servetus Church had some property which
�hey ��vould like to develop as senior citizen housing. She asked if anyone
c4uld tell her how th�y could ge� federai funding help witf� this. Mr. Boardman
said she shouid get in touch with the State HUD office, and see what type of
funding was available for private developers of housing for the elderly.
Mr. Scott said �;here was a 1976 Area Plan for Programs for the Ageing under
Ti�:le ITT. He said she should checH; into that program also. He said it was
before the legislature at the prese�it time. -
Mrs. �vJahlberg �aid the program she had mentioned last week which was a
self-help neighborhood p�an was developed by the Nor�;heast Ki�vanis Club.
They appliEd for federa1 fundiny, and the City of h1inneapolis gave matching
funds. There was a slide presentation that was available i�f anyone was
interested in this.
�Mr. Qergman said the proposed Coi7prehensive Housing Plan was very well
done. T� was very well organizecl. It has been grtatly improved since the
oric�inal draft ti�ras pres�nted. He said he thought the administrat.ive staff
sl�ould be comn�ended on the ,nany hours o-F effort and organization and talent
that I�ave go►ic i nto thi s P1 an .
Mrs. l�lahlberg said she thought it was terrific that for the first time
Ft,idley has an understanding of where they're really at. She thought this
was something that as a City we have nLeded for a long ti�ne. She felt this
t��as really going to be a help to the Appeals Commission. Mr. Qoardman said
said that when all the goals and objectives had been developed, then they
�vould realiy know tivhere they wcre at. Mr. Scott said th� Iluman Resources
Conmiission had yiven their plctudits at the last meeting.
Pat Grennc��i� said that r�uy.:e �t,t� h1el:ro Council f,ad done Fridley a service
b,y requ'irin� this ilousing P1��n for f'iancfing a��plicai;ions. ��1r. Qoard�i�an said 1�e

Fridley �-�as pressured into it at this time or not. It was a matter of priorities.
He said ihe prime issues thai: v�ere at hand right now were the goals and objec�ives.
I�e said it was just a matter of putting the pi°agram toc�ther and getting it
going. He said it miyhi; i:�ke 1;wo or i;hree years longer, but we will get there.
UPON a voice vote on the motion as made and amended, a11 voting aye, the
mot.i.on carried unanimously.
Mr. Qoardman sa.id the Public Hearing on the Eomprehensive Housing Plan
before the City Counci1 vaould be on February 23, 1976.
Mr. Qoardrr�an said he wanted to commend Ray Leek on his work on this plan.
He said he had been working 40 hours a�reek on this plan since last July.
Chairman F;arris said he .did a very good job. Mr. Scott agreed that it wa�
a beautiful job.
DISCUSSION OF COP�u��U�lI7Y DEVELOPh1ENT aLOCK GRANT APPLICATIONS
Mr. Boardman said �he deadline for Community Development Block Grant
applications ��aas March 15th. We do have to have two public hearings on
this application. The Public �-learing by thp Planning Commission will be
on February 1B, 1976. We are getting it pretty well organized and should
have i1: ready by the beginning of next week. Mr. Boardman said he felt
this Comnunity Development Block Grantapplication would be in line with a
lot of things thaf. were in the Comprehensive Housing Plan, so the Planning
Commission could probably handle this without sending it dovrn to the member
Commission;, ,�-art of the reason being time. I�e said we have to get the
two public hearings in so we can make application, and the City Council could
have its pubi ic hearii�g on March 8th. ThSs w�y ���e vrould have time to make
any chang�s before the deadline of P�1arch 15th.
Chairman Harris asked aboui; the Fiousing Maintenance Code. t�lr. 6oardman
said it was included as a recommendation but it would not be going along with
the Plan. Tt will be coming early in Marc��. It will be sent to the Planning
Conunissior� and from there down to the member Commissions, probably. He said
i:he Compreh�nsive Plan was just a rec�mmendation and as those recommendations
were impleii�e►�ted they wo�7d be coming to the F'lanning Commission.
Mr. Boardman said he would have Ray Leek give some background on these
Community Developmen� Block Grants. .
Mr. Leek sa'id he ha� a couple of Federal registers that out'ined the act
that sets up Ccn���unit.y Development Block Grants if anyone ;1�as interested in
loaking at them. He sai� that esseniially �-�hat the COIT;�,�unity Development
B1ock Grant Proc���am wus, v�as a new approach to allo�a�inc funds �hat were
already exisi:ing. As one part of the Housing and Community Development �ict
of 1974, tl�is Gran+� Program consolidates rumerous special purpose programs
into a single package. In other words, funds can be used for a wide range
ofcon�n�unity ir��prove��ent pro�rai��s. The program ti�ras administered by I�UD.
The�list oi= eligible activities fnr (31ock Grants tha�; each community receives,
includes land acquisition, the� making of rublic improvemen�.s which can include
such things as installai:ion of storm seti�ers where appropriate, buildinr com-

of Minnesota was that from the t�asic amount that was available, certain entitle-
ment citics and urban counties (Minnesota only has one urban county and that
vras tlennepin County) get a certain percentage of those funds. These funds are
taken off the i:op and ��1hat was lef� were cal1ed discretionary funds, which every
oi;her local unit of government may apply for. That means that whoever makes
ap�]ication ��ras in competition for the remainder of those funds. He said the
funding would be about two million dollars'this year.
Mr. Leek said that each community had to make a preapplication which goes
to their regional development commission, which in our case was Metropolitan
Council, for revievr. Metro Council sends �:heir reviewal comments v�ith the
application on to HUD. This was reviewed by HUD, and if it was found to con-
form to the general guidelines and the program was found to be warranted, then
that community ��ras invited to make a final application, which would include
a housing systems plan, in our case the Comprehensive Housing Plan.
1 Mr. Leek said this was basically the wa�,� Community Development Block Grant
applications ti�rere handled and he would try t,� answer any additional questions
the Planning Commiss�on might have.
Mr. Scott said that last year HUD received 100% more applications than they
had money, so there was a lot oi= competition for these funds.
� Mr. Boardman said that in the metropolitan area there were three entitlement
cities which G-rere P�inneapolis, St. Paul and Bloomington. These and other entitle-
ment cities in the state receive automatic funding off the top of the money
� availab1e, to c�ntinue certain�;�ro�rar�s that they already have. After these
entitlement cities it goes do!an to urban counties. Hennepin County was the
only urban county in our area. He said that last year most of the entitlement
cities made application, and it ended up that all the communities in Hennepin
� Caunty blocked together under Hennep�in County's urban county portion. They
. couldn't get any money by going it alone, so they grc>�;:�ed together under urban
couni;y, and they all got funded under urban county. .,,. Leek said that after
� tMe top had been taken off the funds by entitlement c:t;ies and urban counties,
it left 1.2 m�lliori dollars in�discretionary funds for the entire state. He
said that meant that only 16 communities oui;sid� of zhe metropolitan area
' received any tunding. Ii: was expected that there wouldn't be much more in
discre�ionary funds this year, maybe 20% more.
' N'irs. Wahlberg asked who would make the decision on how muci� money would be
applied for and what it would be used for.within the City of Fridley.
Mr. E3oardman said that the adminis�;ration a�as writing out certain programs
, that �-�e feel wo«ld be eligil�le for application. This wo�ald be sub,iect to the
recommendation of the Planning Con�nission and apprc�va� by the City Council.
'
�
'
Mr. Qoardman said he didn't know if they had any chance of getting any funding
but they would have made a start. Mr. Langenfeld asS:�d if Mr. Qoardman could
explain then what i;hey meant when they said at the last meeti;�g that Fridley had
a top �ri ori ty rai:i ng. ' •
Mr. Qoardman said this ��las two different things. tJe are in the top priority
as f�1r as housincJ e�ocs, Lut as far as any I1UD Coinmunity Development alock Grants
go, t��c were probably sittinq pret#:y low �n the �toi:cm pule. 11p{�licitions arc
�iven iiigher pr�or�ii:y i f tiiey relate to housing as to over crowding and i:he
� � .
� Planning Commission Meetinc� - f'ebruary �t, 197G Page 10 3 I
deter~ioration of the housing stock. These are the two criteria that they judge
, all dppTications.
tdr. Scott said he thougf�t there t�ras morP than that and that they had almost
� as complicated rating sysi:em as the P".etropolitan Council.
Mr. Leek said he had been i:o a t��orkshop which pertained to applications
� being made by communi�ies in the htetro area. The Metr� Council in evaluating
the a��pl;cat�ions that come before them have actually three criteria they.use.
One was i:ha1: there was a concentration of low to moderate income groups in
1 the comm«nity. Another F�ras that the applications address residential needs
in terms of rehabilii:ation. The third t�Jas �;hat there be a stimulation of
reinvestments in blighted areas, so tha� programs woultl.not on]y be govern-
� men1; subsidized but .«ould have funding.
� Mrs. Wahlherg said she didn't see how Fridley could meet the criteria
for over crowding or for deterioraiion of housing to get these funds. Mr.
1 Boardman said that ��:as the problem. He said that with i:hese criteria it
h�as easier for small towns to meet these criteria than first ring suburb�, but
thai did no1; mean that the first ring suburbs weren't having a problem ���ith
ho�ising starting to deteri�rate. He said these smaller tovans were oider than
� Fridley, so ti�eir housir�g stock was older and there was over crowding so
they met the criteria set down by HUD. �
' Mr. Boardman asl:ed Mr. Leek to relate some of the programs that would
be mentioned it� Fridley's Hud Block Grant app7ication.
� Mr. �eek said that one of the prog��an�s theY were talking abaut in our
appl i cai;i on ti�-as the establ i shment and i mpl emer� �a�ti on of the struc�ural. and
Exierior ho:�sing maintenance code:, a.nd systemaiic enforcement ofi that code
' in prima�°�r target or primary focus areas that ��rere talked about in t�se Housing
Plan. 4ve are also applying for the HUD money for purpase of tlousiny rehab�7-
itation. In other words the money t�ou1d be used to help make home"rehabili�cation
� iaans within the Ciiy. 41e are also talking abou�: using that samz HUD mon�y
to esta�lish counseling or a referral service, ��lhereby there would be a central
file of r;sources of wi�o to go to and where to ga if you want help in rehab-
ilita�'ing ya�<r home oN r�aking home repairs. This was the major thrust of th�e
' application that we are developing. 4Je did tal�: Ubout a couple of otl��er
i;hi��gs. t��e talked about 'che developing and helping to implement an information
an� referi°a� service that sei,vices Fridley, this would not pr�clude helping
' an exi s�ti ng servi ce. t�t�othe?^ typt� of program 1;hat we were making appl i cati on
for ��as the contii�uation oi- ti�e C�ity bikeway/wai�way system and a st�!dy of

of a senior• citizen center to provide _the necessar�� serv�ces for �:he Cit��'s
eiderly �opulatian. P1r. Qoardman sa�id another thit�g they had discussed was
' tl�e acquisiticn of land in i:he Riverview Heights area. This was in the flood
plain area.
Mr. Sc��i.t ask�d aboui; i;l�e do�vntown area. h1r. Leek said i;hat when.you talkeu

were tal�.ing �71�L`Ut tlti'0 difi:;ren1; tl�ings. Mr. Scott said he was talking about

Mrs, blat�lberg asked if there was any single proposal in this application
that was for senior� citizen housing? htr. t3oardman said that at this time,
he was not all that convinced that we need a specific senior citizen housing
program. He said he ���ould like how the Section II subsidized housing program
affected i:he senior citizens in our comn�unity.
Mr. Scott said that Wyn7an Smith had already approached the Numan Resources
' Commi„ion about senior citizen housing on part of the Michael Servetus property.
Mr. Scoi:t said that ai: the present time, only 2.1/ of the population in Fridley
were senior citizens.

Mrs. ��ahlberg said that as she had mentioned at the last meeting, the
Appeals Commission G�ras concerned about senior citizen housing, and tl�at
although the senior citizen population probably didn't warrant a separate
housing program at this time, most of the l and in Fridley was already in
use, and she thouyht that land could be se1: asi�e for this purpose, and
be used at a later date. She felt that senior citizen housing, in order to
be effeci;ive, ��hould be close to shopping and other facilities. She said
that a lot of citizens in Fridley had parents who were senior citizens
and vrould �ike to have them ]ive in Fridley.
Mr. (3oardman said you would have to have a Housing�Authority to provide
senio� citizen iiousing, and this was still some where down the line.
Mr. Scott said he �hought the items that Mr. Leek had mentioned that
would be in the applica�ion for HUD Community Develapn�ent Block Grant funds
sounded good. Chairrr�a.n Harris said the only problem w�uld be to get HUD
to give us the money. �

he would try to do so also. The other members said they wouTd see ��vhat t�ey

' I. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF DECEMBER 3, 1975 CATV__COMMISSIOPd MEETING:
, Mr. Marcus stated he would like to make a number of corrections
to the minutes of the December 3 meeting. He stated on page 3,
. the first sentence should read: Mr. Marcus stated it was in the
' best interests of General Television to have subscribers on both
services.
, Mr. Marcus added another correction should be made on page 3,
paragraph 9. The last sentence of that paragraph s�ould read:
If they get that commitment, it would make it much more feasible.
Mr. Marcus stated another correction should be made on page 3,
the fou=th sentence of the last paragraph. The sentence should
read: This would allow them to cherry pick from any program
available on the satellite.
Mr. Marcus added a correction sliould be made on page 5, paragraph
four. The sentence should read as follows: Mr. Marcus stated
if they could continue to boost their subscriber count, GTV
would probably be interested in expanding.
Mrs. Hughes stated that as she had not yet read the minutes
of the December 3 meeting, she would like to table this item
until th.e next meeting.
MOTION by Barbara Hughes, seconded by Nanci Wrubel, to table
the approval of the minutes of the December 3 CATV Commission
meeting until the next regular meeting. Upon a voice vote,
all vating aye, the motion carried unanimously.
II. AISCUSSION ON REC�NT PAY-CABL� DEVELOPMENTS:
Attorney Douglas Hedin stated the first question �aas "May
the city receive 5% of the company's revenues franits
Cinema III operations?" He explained the only reason the
�
�
�

4A
' CATV COMMISSION MEETING
PAG�: TWO
city has any claim to any revenue fram Cinema III in 1975 was•
because the filters were not installed until the beginning of
this year. He added the FCC stated that local franchise fees
may not be placed upon pay-cable revenues.
Mr. Hedin stated since the Cinema III subscribers were also
' receiving the basic service, it was his feeling that the city
can claim 5% of the $7.50 por.tion of the $9.95 which went for
local origination.
He added there was not much of an argument for the city to
claim 5% of the remaining $2.45 which went for the Cinema III.
The only argument would be that the company had illegally raised
its rates to $9.95 without informing the city. He felt, '
therefore, that the $2.45 was exempt.
He stated the city could claim 5% on any installation fees.
However, advertising was not a part of the gross subscriber
revenues. Therefore, the city could not claim S% on that.
Mr. Hedin explained the FCC has said very little about the
relationship between the basic subscriber service and the
pay-cable. They did suggest that the pay-cable operator
take the revenues from this and use them for local origination.
He added for 1976 the city has no claim for 5% of the $9.95
to Cinema III only subscribers. He explained Mr. Herrick shares
a different feeling on this.
MOTION by Barbara Hughes, seconded by Nanci Wrubel, that the
city notify the company that the 5% revenues from 1975 will
include installation fees, monthly service charges, and $7.50
of tIze Cinema TII only monthly service charges due as of
Marcfi 1, 1976.
Mr. Haines stated he�would like to see the company and the
city try to resolve the problem with the least amount of
peaple as necessary.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
The Commission asked that Mr. Herrick be advise�' to look over
this in accordance with his letter dated December 23, 1975,
and that it be on the agenda for the City Council meeting.
Mr. iiedin stated the second question was "Does the offering
1 of the Cinema III channel, without the public service channels,
violate the provisions of the city's Cable Television �ranchise?"
He stated he felt this did violate the ordinance.

He explained GTV�s lawyer may have a different interpretation
of the words "subscriber" and "capability". He felt it would
be a futile exercise to try to determine what the Council
meant by these words when the ordinance was written. He added
his interpretation was that the word "subscriber" included pay-
cable.
Mark Scott sug�ested tiie Commission give the company a date
to come into compliar_ce with �the ordinance. Mr. Hedin added, if
the company has a strong argument that they are not in violation,
the Commission may simply ask them to amend their ordinance.
MOTION by Barbara Hughes, seconded by Ken Brennen, that the

rir. Hedin stated the third question was "Does the company�s
present aperation of the Cinema III channel violate any of the
rules of the Federal Communications Commission?"
Mr. Hedin explained his advice would be to join the public
' service channels and the pay=cabZe. He recommended the Com-
missio'n not file a petition with the FCC as that u�ay delay
a decision for an indefinite periad of time.
, Mr. Hedin also informed the Commission of the 90 percent rule
which was in effect at the time the company bought Cinema IIT.
�Ie adde.d this is a part ot the cable television system, and
' it falls within the city's jurisdiction to see to it that the
FCC's rules are enforced.
' MOTION by Barbara Hughes, seconded by John Haines, that the
city notify the company the Commission has note�. on its sub-
scription cablecasting operations that the company is not in
full compliance with Section 76.225 (d) - 90 percent Rule -(FCC)
' and that the FrzdZey Commi.ssion expects the�company to come into
compliance by April 1, I976.

Mr. Marcus stated GTV has plans for children�s programs, concerts,

able previously. He explained it was his expectation they
would have these films by ApriZ 1.

III. DISCUSSION ON THE PRQGRESS QF THE ANNUAL R�PORT:
Mr. Brennen read aloud the first draft o� the Commission's
annual report. He stated he had to condense the material
given to him by the other Commission members in order that
the report be kept to a maximum of two pages. He commended
the other Commission members for the fine work they had
done in assisting ta�th the xepo�.�,
A copy of the report will be sent to each Commission member

be asked to formulate two or three questions to be incorporated
into the survey. He stated he would contact these organizations
as soon as possible in order to meet the March deadline for
the completion of the survey and annual report.
Mr. Moravetz stated the City would probably like two questions
' incorporated into the survey: (1) What percentage of the
citizens view the govern�ent access channel, and (2) What
percentage of the citizens view the Council meetings.
, V. DISGUSSION ON LETTER AND STATEMENT FROM ATTORNEY, DAVID GOLDMAN:
Mr. 5cott asked the Commissian to refer to the memo he had
� written to Mr. Moravetz regarding this matter. He added most
of tlie time spent with Mr. Goldman was in conversations dis-
cussing whether or not Mr. Goldman had a conflict of interest.

Mr. Moravetz stated he could not authorize this payment of
$250 since he had r_o proof of anything accomplished by
Mr. Goldman.
Mr, Brennen felt this matter should be referred to the city
attorney.

DISCUSSION OF PROGRESS MADE ON RES�LVING AREAS COVERED IN THREE
MOTIONS MADE AT JANUARX 21 MEETTNG (PAY-CABLE DEVELOPMENTS):
The Commission reviewed the niemo from General Television's attorney,
Edwin Carpenter.
\
1 p, Discussion on first motion: (That the City notify the company that the 5%
revenues from 7975 will include installation fees, monthly service charges, and $7.50
of the Cinema III only monthly service charges due as of t�larch 1, 1976.}
�
'
,
Mr. liedin stated stated the facts were that some peopJ_e were receiving
four to five months of free regu].ar service. He again stated he
did feel the city had a claim to 5% of that amount.
Mr. Hedin added that what General Television has done is 100�
opposite of what the FCC has said. The FCC was afraid that
some cable TV companies would hide the pay-cable in the regular
service. I�e explained General Television has hidden the regular ser-
vice in the pay-cable service in an effort to save 5%.
Mr. Hedin stated because it appears that so much of the revenues are
coming from pay-cable, he would have the Commission consider asking
the City Council to petition the FCC for a waiver of its rules and
'

1 have the S% extended to receipts from pay-cable. �
Mr. Scott stated he was willing to stand on the first motion made
� by the Commission at'their January 21, 1976 meeting.
� Mr. Hedin stated this would depend upon getting informatidn from
the company as to how much of its monthly revenues are derived
� from the pay-only service.
Mr. Scott stated his main concern was not the amount of money,
� but that pay-cable is now different than what the FCC envisioned.
� Mr. Scott asked whether a petition at the FCC Ievel couZd be with-
drawn. Mr. Hedin said yes.
� Mr. Scott stated he wanted to take a strong stand on this.
' The Commission agreed upon the following statement to be made in
conjunction with the first motion made at the January 21, 1976
CATV Commission meeting:
�l
,
We have advised the company of what revenues will be liable
for the S% revenues and they have responded that they do not
agree, but it is our determination that their arguments do
nat go to the point of our determination. We are advising
the City that in the review of the books of the company, the
City is justified in claiming these ztems as listed in the
motion. Also, that a bill be sen.t to the company for that
amount of money followino the audit, and if the company con-
tinues to d�sagree, they have several optionsc
1. Use the $50,000 performance bond •
2._ Sue the company
3. Although �ve thinlc it is premature at this time, the FCC
could be petitzoned for a waiver of the pay-TV revenues
for 1975.
The Commission is sLudying what would be involved in waivers
�n the pay-TV revenues for 19�6.
B. Di.scussion on second motion: (That the Clty inform the company that the
CompanY is in viola�ion of Section 405.253 of thP Cable Teievision Ordinance
and request that the co►�ipany inform the Commission by February 11, 1976 in
�riting of their intentions for coming into compliance with the ordinance.
Mr. Hedin stated tne City Council could (1) petition the FCC for
r� waiver, or (2) amend the ordinance.
Ms. Hugt�es asked Mr. Hedin whether he felt General Television's
ar�ument had any validity. He said no.
Mr. Brentzen stated lie did not feel it would be good for the City
to proceed witti a petition at this time. Iie added (1) We haven't
the documentation of the extent to which Cinema III has suppressed
the regular service, and (2) GTV has recently ilired a local orig-
ination d_ir��rtor, �nd they could use this as an argument to show
thst r.hcy are tryit��; *_o build up the primary service.

CATV COMMISSION
PAGE THREE
Ms. Hughes stated this may be a process the Commission may want
to use at the end of the year.
The Commission agreed upon the following statement to be made in
conjunction with the secondmotion made at th.e January 21, 1976
CATV Commission meeting:
We ure advising the City Council that we have informed the
company that they are not in compliance with Section 405.253 relating
to public access channe�,s for subsczibexs. The company has advised
us they dq not agxee with our interpretation. We are advising the
Council that we still consider the company in violation. Secondly,
the ordinance required all subscribers to receive these channels. •
�i�irdly, this is an area that is preemgted by the FCC, but exactly
which specific points are preempted are not clear. We suggest that
the City advise the company that they must come into compliance accord-
ingly to the procedures laid out in the ordinance in Section 405.29,
and that the Council set a special hearing date as soon as possible for
making a determinat:ion of whether or not the company is in eompliance
and that the normal procedures (as outlined in the ordinance) will
follow.
C. Discussian on thir.d motion: (That the City notify the company the
Commission has noted an its subscription cablecasting operations tha� the
company is not in full comgliance with Section 76.225(d) - 90 percent
Rule -(rCC) and that the Fridley Commission expects the company to come
into compliance by April 1, 1976.)
The Commission agreed upan the folZowing statement to be made in con-
� junction with the third motion made at the January 21, 1976 CATV Commission
Meeting:
� We are advising the City Council that we have notified the company
that they are out of compliance on the 90% Rule (FCC) and we ask that
the City Council set a special nearing date the same as for motion two
on this issue, and that not?ce be given and that the procedures outlined
� in the ordinance then be followed for notification. Also, that if the
company not come into compliance within 90 days, that the City advise
the FCC that the company i_s out of compliance in a formal petition.
� The Com:mission would expect the City's obligation. ta cease at that
point on tnis third section.
�
�
�
�
Mr. Hedin stated he felt the Gommission should tell the City Council
about the problems of arbitration. This may leave them in a
very difficult bind.Because it involves several areas of law, it is a
very suitable mechanism.
IV. AUDIT OF GEN�RAL TELEVISIOI�' BOOKS. FOit REVENUES DUE MARCH 1:
MOTION by Barbara Hughes, seconded by Nanci Wrubel, that the Commission
inform tlie appro�riate city officials that the audit must include
number of installation fees and costs, monthly service charge infor-
mation for basic customers and Cinema III-only subscribers. Upon a

UTILIZATION:
Mr. Brennen explained the workings of the Anoka County Communica-
tions Worlcshop .
Mr. Scott stated he had done some investigation into expenses.
He explained if the equipment were housed at General Television,
the cost would be approximately $6000 t.o $7000. The City would
have access to this equipment Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to
5 p.m.
He added the 1'ibrary at this time has a modulator and a monitor,
so approximately $1500 of the cost to house theequipment would
alread}* be ta'•.en carP of . The. p�iblic *,aould have access to rhis
six days per week.. If the equipment were housed at City Hall,
there would be access six days per week also.
Mr. Scott further stated he d�d not feel the schooZ district
would be interested in housing this equipment.
Mr. Scott elaborated on the expenses staiing if the equipment was
housed at the schools or City Hall, the cost would be approximately
$6500. Also, if the library or General Television housed the
equipment, the cost woulc3 L-e �pproxa_mat:ely $6200.
5C
Mr. Moravetz stated if the Commission�s survey indicates most citizens
� do not watch the governmeizt channel, possibly message wheels could be
set up in lieu of the character generators. This would be more attrac-
tive to the viewers.
�

�
Mayor Nee stated the Commission or the Councii could presenta proposa].
to the School Board in an effort to improve communications in the
community.
Mr. Scott stated even though the Cammission is in negotiations with

It seems c.Zear that the position af both the Commission
and Mr. Iiedin on question numUer one results from a misunder�
standing of what has been the policy of General Television
since it commenced operations in Fric?ley, as it cannot be
questioned that the present po.licy is in the best interests of
the customer. In tize event any customer requests that his
service be disconi�inued, no matter th� type of service, the
customer is no longer billed for that service from the date
of the request, even though he continues to have the ability
to receive th� se�-vice until actual disconnection. As it is
impossible for a customer to be "disconnected" the sarne day
that his request for disconnection is m�ade, the Company
beli�ves ti�i� best policy to be �ollawed is to no longer charge
the customer for that service from the aate of reques�.
The same policy prevailed during General Television's
promo�ion in the rall of 1975, with which I assume you are
familiar. Wit�h r.cspect �o those customers who el�cted to r�tain
the Cinema IIT service on�y, on the date of the rec�ucst that
the regular subscrii�er service be discontinued such customers
were no longer �harged for the regular subscriber service in
accordance with the long standing policy of General Television
as outlined avove. Dioi-eover, the ordinance provides that the
only revenucs subject to the franchis� fee are "grass subscriber
revcnues", whicl� �rc c3cf.i.ned zs i-.ii�:;e r.cvenucs derived trom regular
subscriber servicc. 11fi�er a customer. requesi�s tl�at he no longez
receive the regulzr subscriber :��rvice, he is no long�r charged
for stich service . There£orc , thc�rc �ire no "gross subscriber
r�vc�iiues" upon which to imposc .� i:rar�r_llise fee. Tha� Ger..eral
Tt,-'Z�V1SlOI1 consistently i�rcateG �.li�� cni�ire $9, 95 as revenues
from the Cir�ema IZI service OI11y i:, evident �rom the fact that
�he royalty paid the movze di_.tr.ik���t-.or� during this period was
based upon revenues of $9.95 I?�r cu�Lomer per month.
Mr. �iedin's position wc�ul.ci t>.� :.�mewI�at more defensible- had
the policy of G�neral Televisi.�t� .ilw.�y:s veen to coni.inue to

collect from a customer tize normal charges until such custom�r
was actually disconnected. This, howTever, has never been erhaps
General Television's policy. At the risk oi repetition, p
another example w�uld bc helpful. Assume that tcac customers
requesi: disconnectian of the regular subscriber service, one
of wYiom had been receiv�.ng tlie regular subscriber service only
and onE of wnom had becn receiving the regul.ar subscrik�er service
plus the Cinema III. From the date of �uch request, General
Television, in accordance �aith the present policy, would continue
tc charge the second cusLomer ior_ Cine;�,_:: III only whil� charging
the first cusi�omer noth:.ng. It is difficult to see how this
practice violates i:he prohibition against� preferential or
discriminatory practices. In iact, to adopt the CGmmission's
and Mr. Hedin's position would constitute a clear violation of
this prohibition.
The second area oi controversy is, as you state in your
letter, the heart af the dispure betwc�en tne Commission and
General Television. Basically t���o questions are involved:
1. Whether the crdi.nance allows the Cinema TII
service only to be ofLered by Gen�ral Television
without th� public sexvice channeis; and
2. Notwithstanding a violation of thc ordinance,
wheti7er offering Cinema _III s�?-vice only i:s
authorized by the Federal CO1lU:li1I11Cc1�lO:1S
Commission �n a manner whicl� prcempts local
regulation.
If th� answer to either of tl�e above i:���o c�u�stions is in the
af£irmative, General Tel��Tisian's presc�nt; practi.ces cannot be
subjeci� to comp].aint bs' thc Ci_t� .
With respect to t?"ie L-ir� t c�ucstic�n, rir: Hedin concedes
that tlZe or3iri�nce is suujcct t.c� c�.ifferi:ng inter_�retations.
To begin with, in v�-c�� Ui ti��: 1�C�' "s L-�t:�l preemp�won c�f and
�rohibition of any ?oc�l r.c�c�ul.ation r�garding pay cable, it is
difficult to see how thc tC1Il1 "su���criber" could include a pay
eable only customer. Secozidly, Section 405.253 of the ordinance
requires only that a subsci'ik�c'r' s home have ttie capabi].ity of
receiving the public acc��ss ct;annels. Capabili:ty daes not mean
that each suUscriber n��ust act�u.ill.y receive such channels. . fi
12at;ll�r, capzbility Il1(��I1S Lllat if a subscriber wishes to pay �or
such ch<:�nnel.s, he i:tlen car. .rece�_vc s�ach cYiannels.

Regardless, howevcr, of the wording in the ordinanc�, it
is quite clear that tize FCC has preempi�ed all a�pects of pay
cable. Mr. Hedin docs noi� quarre7. with this. As I trust you
are aware, in its Repori� and Order adcpted February 2, 1972,
the FCC stated that "it is this Commzssa_on that must make the
decisions as to condi�.ions to be imposea on the operation of
pay cabl� chann�ls ...." The FCC went on to say that "w2
think that in this area a dual f_orm of regulation ��ouZd be
r.onfusing and i.mpractical." The FCC has uncquivocally�stated
that cable tclevision systems ar� author�zed to conduct pay
cabl.e operations, that local authorit.�es are preempted from
interfcring with such operations, that local franchise ter:ns
regulating pay cable are inoperative, that local fees on pay
cable are prohibited, that imposition of a local franchise fee
an pay cable revenues is prohibited, and that the local
regulation of pay cable rates is prohibited. What the Fridley
Commission is attemPting to do in this situation, of course,
is regulate pay cable by imposing conditions on i�s operation,
i.e., that such service cannot be offercd except irz connection
with �h� public service cYlannels. That this is a forr.� of
requlatiar� o� pay cable and is pl"OY11h1.tCC� by the �'C:G seems toa
clear to bzlabor any further. I£ any doubt r.enains in your
mind, hawever, we would suqgest that an interpretaticn be
obtained from the FCC.
''� The'ordinance requires i�hat any cab]_e television system
F�il must arerate in accordance with ktie Rul.rs and Regulatior.s of

The Commission's posture in this controversy appears to
us to be not only legally in error, but also not in the best
interest of the City. Additionally, we are puzzled by the
actiorls of L-he Commission in view af the fact tha�: the ordinance
es�tablishes the Commission as an advisory committee to the City
Cauncil, to advise and assist the Gity Council upon all matters
affecting the CATV syst�m in the City. On the other hand,
Section 405.29 of the ordinance authorizes the City Council,
after a hearing, to determine oahethez tl�e Company is failing
to perform and carry out any of the provisions o� the ordinance.
If a violation is claimecl, notice is given and the Corr,pany has
ninety days in wl�ich to r_emedy any f�ilures. tahile this section
provides the rudiments of due process, the Commission has prc--
ceed�d without semblance of dtie process and determin�d zhat
several violations of the ordinanc� exist, dernanding that
corrective actions be taken. Whether the Commission is empowered
to proceed in this manner is highly doubtful; but, more importantly,
it appears that the Commission has become an adversary body
rather than a cooperative body of citizens seeking to work with
a cable television system �o k�romote the best interests of the
City and the cable telev�sion customers thro�gh construct�_ve
suggestians for prograitu;li:�c; and other operatiens . 'I�hes� goals �
are very di�ficult to accomplish in ail atmosphere of hostility,
accusatory chargps and advcr_se publici�y. �
h'e would prefer ta resolve the present controversy short of
the pral�nqed and expe��sivc formalities required for the City
Council to determinc whetI�cr a violatioi� of the franchisc has in
fact occurred. While Z am previousiy corrunitted to a teachii�g

I. FACTS .
. 1. Facts. General �levision offers the citizens of Fridley
three subscription options: (a) the regular service for which
i:he monthly charge is $7.50; (b) Cinema III for cahich the monthZy
charge is $9.95; and (c) the regular service plus Cinema III for
wha.ch the ma�thly charge is $16.00. A subscriber to Cinema IiI
receives approximately twelve first-rur. movies each month and is
able to receive over-the-air �aroadcast stations. A filter at-
tached to the suuscriber`s set prevents reception of government,
education and public access programmin.g. .
2. Questions. (a) M�y the city rer,eive 5% of the company's
revenues from its Cinema III operatior.s?
• (b) Daes the offering of the Cinema III
channel, without the public service channels, violate the pro-
visions of the City's Cable �? evisic�n Franchise?

(c) Does the company'� present oFeration of
the Cinema III chann�l violate any of the rules of the Federal
Communications Commission?
' �II. �'RANCHIS� FEE
3. Franchise Provisions. Under Section 405.05 of the franchise,
, the cit receives 50 of the company's annual "gross subscriber
. y
�
�
�
revenues", which are defined in Section 405.011, Subdivision 9
as "those revenues derived from regular subscriber services but
not including advertising.. l.eased channel fees or other fees
derived from non-subscriber services.°
Under franchise Section 405.224, the company must notify the
city of any proposed rate "change". This section applies to
insta�iation and monthly service charges, but not to subscription
• cablecasting rates. The city has reserved to itself the right
� io approve or reject the requested rate °change" i.n the last
�"
sentence of this section. A rate change may be either an increase
or a decrease, While the city may wai��e review of a rate de-
crease, it certainly has tY±e authority under this section to
review ar.y decrease in the monthly service charges which would
so substantially reduce the compar�y's gross subscriber revenues
� as to make the city's 5o portion miniinal or almost none�:istent.
The company, of course, has never notified the city that it pro-
posed to r�duce zhe monthly servicQ charge, which is now $7.50�
�or one outlet in a single-family dvaelling.
Franchise Section 405.261 prohibits preferential or discriminatory
� pr�ci:.;4c4s .
�
The last sentence of th?s section provides as follows�
_ �. Mcmorandum
�` Page Three
� �`� .
•t "The company shall not, as to rates, charges, service
facilities, rules, regulations or in any other respect
,� make cr grant any prefercnce or advantage to any per-
� son, nor subject any person to any prejudice or dis- •
advantage."
�
�
4. FCC Rules. The FCC has defined the term, "regular subscriber
service", as used in Section 405.011, Subdivision 9, to mean
service r_eguiarly provided to all.subscribers, including broad-
cas-t signal curriage, designa�ed access channels and origination
programming, but excluding subscription cablecasting. Clarif ica-
�:ion of Rui��s, 39 Federal Register Z4288, 14297 (April 22, 1974).
By FCC definition, the term "gross subscriber revenues", as used
a.n Section 76.31(b) of its rules, which govern municipal franchise
fees, includes:
"...�nly those revenues de�ived from the supplying of
regular subscriber service;_tnat is, tne installation
fees, disconnect and reconnect fees, and fees �or re-
gular cable benefits including th� transmission of
�� � broaacast and access and origination channels if any.
It does not include revenues derived from per-program
or per-channel charges, leased cr,annel revenues, ad-
vertising rev�nues or any other income derived from
the system." Clarification of Rules, supra, at 14298.
�. Thus revenues derived solely from Cinema III are not subject to
the 5� fee because that revenue would �e derived from a per-
� r,hannel. eharge which is exempt from the�Zocal franchise fee
by the FCC.
5. Compar.y Practice. Until approximate�y the end of 1975, a
subscriber to Cine*_na iI� received tl�e regular subscriber service
in additinn to aboat twelve motion pictures each month and paid
�
$9.95 for �Lhese scrvices. .
� �
�
�
�� Memorandum
. page Four
� . ,
:�
_� .
6, City's Fee for 1975. The company apparently claims that
the $9.95 received from the Cinema III subscriber in 1975 is
entirely exempt from the city's 50 levy under the federal rules
described earlier. Essentially the company claims that the
5ubscriber paid $9.95 for the movies and nothing for the regu-
�ar subscriber service. The company.has never proposed, pursuant
to �ranchise 5ection 405.224, that the monthly service charge
I� for the regular subscriber service to the Cinema III subscriber
be decr�ase<:; from $7.50 to zero. Of �reater �mportance �s zne
fact that such a preferential service to one class of subscribers
contravenes Franchise Section 405.261. For both of these rea-
sons the company's argument is without merit.
I it is my opinion that the city is entitled to receive 50 of the
�- ��irst $7.50 ($00.375) received by the company from a Cinema III
I subscriber who also received the'hasic subscriber service in
� _
�� 1975. The remaining $2.45 is exempt from the city levy. The
i� city cannot claim a percentage of $2.45 because it never authorized
. an incr�ase in the m,onthly subscriber fee beyond $8.00. (Actually
I� $7.50 for a single-family dwelling and a possib].e-$0.50 increase
3.n the near future. The figures mentio-ned in this paragraph are
for the first�outlet of a single-family dwelling, and must be
varied for other classes described in I'ranchise Section 405.222.)
?. City's Fee in 197G. In ear,ly January, 1976, the company
began instaZling a speci��l filter wh?ch will prevent the Cinema

III subscriber from receiving the regular subscriber service.
For this movie service, the Cinema �II subscriber will continue
to pay $9.95 each month. L'nd�r the federal rules described
above, revenues derived soleZy from a pay-cable channel ar� not
subject to the city's 50 levy. Tt is my view, that the city
may not claim 50 of reverrues derived.solely from Cinema III
subscribers in 1976.
8. Potenti�l FCC Ruling. Th� FCC has recognized that income
fram auxiliary services such as pay-cable eventually may con-
stitute most of the cabl.e system's rzceipts, and has stated
that it "has no intention of depriving the franchising authority
of a reasanable percentagP of th�se receipts at that time."
Clarification of Rules, supra, at 14298. If Cinema III sub-_
scribership cont�_nues to burgEOn, and revenues from this special-
ized service make up the bulk of General Television's receipts
in 1976, the city should consider petitioning the FCC for a1.Ioc�ance
to rea�ive 5 0 of the compar�y's "gross �evenues" which would include
subscription cablecasting receipts.
�� 9. Recommendation. For Galendar 1975, the city is entitled to
I' receive 5 o ef the followir_g revenues deri.ved from the co�npany's
Cinema III operations: Installment fees �nd monthly service
I� charges, c�efined in Franchise Sectior. 405.222, paid by the Cinema
_
III subscrii�ers, who also .received the regular service in 1975.
� Any receipts in e�cess of the monthly s�rvice charge are exempt.

St is recommended that the city notify the company immediately.
of its position in view of the fact that Franchise Seci:ion
405.05 requires the company t� pay the c�ty its fee prior to '
March 1, 1976.
III. LOCAL FRANCiiISE PROVISIONS �
AND�CINEMA III OPERATIONS
10. Local Franchise. Discussion of the local ordinance must
commence with Section 405.011, Subc�vision 6, which defines
"subscriber" as "any person who has a contraci: with the company
for service." Determination that this def?nition applies to
a Cinema ITI-only subscriber is important because that wiZl
trigger the application of SPction 405.253, periaining to the
gublic service channe?s. -
I� is my opinion that the definition of "subscriber" se� �orth
in Section 405.011, Subdivision 6, $nccmpasses a Cinema IIl-only
subscriber. There are two reasons for this conc�usion. First,
and most importantly, such a subscriber in fa�t has a service
contract with the company, and therefore com�s t,rii,hin the literal
terms of the definition. Sec�nd, the FCC has nevEr• differentiated
bet�veen pay--eable subscribers and regular service subscribers.
T}le fact that pay-cable is beyond the jurisdiction o� the city
does noi: mean that the ��ard "service" as used in Subdivision 6
means only regular subscriber service and r�oi: subscription cable-
casting. � _ _ , _.
, �
,
i �
Memorandum
Page Seven
Several months ago, the FCC stated: "Subscri�tion cablecasting
involves �he closed-circuit cable television system distribution
of�non-broadcast programming for a�hich the cable television system
subscriber is charged an addii.ional program or channel fee beyond
the regular monthly fee far the system's television signal
reception." First Report and Ord�r, 52 F.C.C.2d 1, 2(1975).
(Emphasis added.) �
This statement indicates that the FCC envisioned subscription
cable as supplementing the basic subscriber service, and that a
pay-cable subscriber simpiy was a regular subscriber who paid
more per month for extra services. �
a �
11. Under Franchise Section 405.253� Subdivision 2� "each sub-
, scriber's home shall have the capability of receiving" the public
,
I �
service channels descri.bed in Subdivision 1 of that section. A�ter
the in�tallation of the new filters, a Cinema III-only subscriber
may r�ceive only the special movie channel and �he o�;er-the-air
broadcast stations. Such a subscriber's home does r.ot haye the
"�apability" of receiving the public service cnann�ls describ�d
in Section 405.253, Subdivision 1. The Cinema III fi3.�ers pre-
vent this mandated public service capabili�y. Section 405.253,
�herefore, is being violatecl by the company's failure ta provide
public service channels to the Cinema III-only subscribers.

].2. Recommendation, If the Cable Commission accepts the
analysis set forth above, the Company should be informed im-
mediately of the Comm�ission's belief that Section 405.253 is
being violated, and in addition be requested to advise the
Commission within several�days of its position. If the
eompany fails to accede to the Comr,iission's demands, it is
recommended that the City Council "determine" th� company's
violation of the franchise, in acco��ance wit}i the procedures
in Secticn 405.29, and notify the Company tha't it has 90 days
to come into compliance with the franchise by providing the
public service channels to the Cinema III subscribers.
Z�J . FCC RULES AND REGULATIONS
AND CINEMA III C�PERATIONS
13. FCC rules can be reasonably interpreted ta require �
General Television, which is a cable television s�.�stem.within
tlie meaniiig of 47 C.I'.R. Section 76.5, to r.arry the various
public service channels de�ignated in Section 7G..25I to a1?
Cinema III subscribers. The FCC has expressed the view that
the pay-cable suk�scr�_ber is an individual to whom the operator
�� has certain mandated public service obligatior.s. In its First
' Report and Order,su ra, the FCC rejected the suggestion by
�� broadcast intere.si:s that pay cable operators be limited to one
�
I �
pay cable channel per system and be required to originate non-pay
programminc�. Th� FCC stated: �

Gable television...does not make use of -
broadcast frequencies and has extensive
channel poteni�ial. Substantial public
ser_vice obligations are placed upon cable .
television by Sections 76.251 and 76.253 .
of the Rules, which require that channel
space anr.� production facilities be made
available for government, educational and
� public use. We see no interest. to be
served by restricting the numbEr of sub-
scription channels to one per cable system
. and by requiring non-subscripti.on programming
on pay channels where sufficient channel
� space is available to meet pub]_ic service
prog'tamming needs. First Repc>rt and Order,
52 F.C.C.2d at 4S (i975)
The FCC therefore will not impase further publ.ic service
obligations on the pay cable operator because it believes that
the existing obligations in Sections 7G.251 and 76.253 are enough.
Preswnably, if the pay cable operator had no obligation to provide
publa.c access service� to its subscribers, the FCC would not have
made this statement. The present controversy, of course, has
arisen precisely because the Cinema III subscribers do not have
the cax�ability of receiving the public service channels.
14. Tf this analysis of the rules and policy of the FCC is
acce��ted by the Commission, it may seek redress by petitioning
the FCC for an Order to Sho�a Cause to be issued to the company.
If issued, this Ordez wouid require the Comapny to show why it
is not in viol«tion of the fede.ral rules and why the relief
sought by the city Co:nmission shouid not be granted.

15. There are four reasons why T recommend that, at this
juncture in the controversy, the City and Commission avoid
seeking redress before the FCC. First, the FCC has never
�addressed itself to the question of whether its own rules
require a pay cable operator to provide to its subscribers
the public service channels and service. Because the
questions raised by any Fridley petition would be of first
impression, the FCC might enlar_ge tr� proceeding into a time-
consuming, larger inquiry �nto this �ype of operation. A
decision, in any event, would not be quickly madP. Second,
there is no federal counterpart of franchise Section 405.253,
and this makes the argument for federal violation less obvious
than that made earlier for violation of the local franchisP.
Third, the FCC has preempted the area of pay cable and any
local regulation of rates or service is inoperative. First
Report and Order, 52 F.C.C.2d at 67 (Z975}. It is advisable
to avoid all preemption claims by placing primary emphasis
� upon the company's vialation af specific provisions of the
local. azdinance. A local reauirement that pay cable subscribers
r.eceiv� the public service channels would not be a regulation
of subscription cablecasting. Fourth, the attorneys on the
staff of the FCC, with cahom I have consulted, are not so easily
persua�ed that a pay-only system violates Section 76.251. For
these reasons, T recommend that the present controversy be
determined Uy ref�rence to the local tranchise.

47 C.F.R. Section 76.225(d)
16. FCC RulES. Section 76.2�5(d) of the FCC's rules regarding
subscription cabl.ecasting provides as follows:
Cable television system operators or channel lessees
engaging in origination or access cablec��sting oper-
ations for which a per-program or per-channel charge
is made shall comply with the following requirements:
...
(d) Not more than ninety (90) percent o.f the total
cablecast pr_ogranuning hours shall consist of feature
films and sports events combined. The pE�rcentage
calculations may be made on a yearly bas:is, but
absent a show�ng of r�ood cause� the perc�ntage of such
prograrruning hours may not exceed ninety-five (95)
percent of the to�al: cablecast programming hours in
any calendar month.
This rule prohibits s�abscription operations from devoting more
than 90 � af their subscription programming 1-iours to feature films
. and sports combined. Tt is designed to encourage diverseF
� different and innovative programming.
'
�I
i
If 50 hours of movies are presented .each morrth or� Cinema III,
Section 76.225(d) requires the company to show a minimum of 2.5
hours of non-film, non-sports grogramsr and, on a yearly basis,
an average of 5 hours per month of non-film, non-sports programs.

the 90� rule established in Sectian 76.225(d). He stated that he

SECTION 7.04 - PREPARA.TION C!F ANNUAL BUDGET
SECTION 7.05 - PASSAGE OF THE BUDG�T
SECTION 7.14 - ACCOUNTS AND REPORTS
I�r. Sheridan stated it was the positian o.f the committee that
the City Councii leave these sections as they are presently
written. He added the city has not bee:� able to obtain
the necessary figures.from the county in time. Therefore, they
have had to table the item of f:he budget.
Ms. Knoff asked Mr. Sheridan whether this was a legitimate
argument. He stated this was a valid argument.
Mr. Ash stated the City Council is not acting by the Charter.
He stated the buclget �s a valid piece of information which the
people need to make decision,s in an election ynar. He felt this
could be a very key political issue. He added he would like
to think about this matter for awhile to `onsider the issues.
Ms, Knoff suggested putting this issue before the electors.
She added the Commissior�ers could give tY:is issue a lot of
public relatians.
Mr. Sheridan suggested adding a provisi.on rE.qu.iring the county
auditor to have such inf�rmation available at an earlier date.
Mr_. Crowder felt the city should justify or detail any increase
in budget.
Mr. Ash stated his main concern was t�.hat a budget exists at the
first City Council meeting in August; and a1�o that i.he Council
proceeds to discuss the budget at t.iat m.eeting. fie suggested
if a budget is not submitted at fhat meetina, th� C:�ty Council
would not get paid.
Mr. Sheridan stated liis committee woulci give i:h�se sec�ions
more thought and get back to the Commission at the next meeting.
