Ne stated they would compare this operation with a dairy operation and, therefore, a special use permit would be required. This request for a special use permit is related to proposed plat, P.S. n76-12, Target Addition, since the Pop Shoppe would be located on the property covered in P.S. #76-12. Mr, Sobiech stated the Planning Commission recommended approval with the stipulation that the intent of the letters of agreement between the Embers and Dayton Hudson be followed. � Councilman Fitzpatrick stat�ed he cannot see the analogy to a dairy operation and has reservations about �s bottling plant at this location. He felt the Pop Shoppe would generate more traffic and there is already a traffic problem at this location. � Mr. Dean Thompson, represeni:ing Pop Shoppes of America, explained they do not � have a fleet of route truck�s and about five retail outlets would be supplied � from this location, with the� trucks at the site twice a day.

Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated if the Council wished to give concept approval, he felt there has to be a traffic flow study and landscaping would be required. Mr. Thompson asked if he could get an indication from the Council if they would be in favor of this special use permit.

SUBJECT: SENATE FILE N0. 103 DAi'E: FEBRUARY 22, 1977 A primary responsibility of th.e Tax Assessor is to equalize the property tax burden among the property owners in the City. Senate File No. 103 would severely hinder the process of equalizing the tax burden among properties of ' equal value, Mr. Mervin Herrmann and Leon Madsen have given their conments on some of the problems their department would encounter if Senate File No. 103 were in effect. (See the attached letters.) The affect of Senate File No. 103 woul d be that houses of equal valUe wi tf�in the Ci ty of Fri dley and wi thin the same school district, would 6e paying different property taxes. Mr. Herrmann's and Mr. I�adsen's letters go into detail on how and why this would happen. � Senator Robert M. Benedict's letter would lead one to believe that all improvements made to a home are taxed at their full value. This is not necessarily the case. 7hat is, if an improvement does not actually increase the market value of a home, it would not have an effect on taxes. As an example, a home that is poorly insulated com�ared to a home that is well insulated would probably bring approximately the same price on the market. A home owne r does not usually che ck the thickness of the insulation before he decides on the value or arhether the home is priced at a fair value. Another example might be �hanging the heati;�g system. A switch from ane type of heating system to another does not necessarily increase the value of the home, if the old heating system was doing an adequate job. 7here may be exceptions for some properties that are severely below the minimum standards. In summary, some types of improvements made to homes will increase the market value, and if the Assessor does not take this into consideration, the re will be inequality among taxes paid by the property owners. Other types of improvements will not increase the market value of the property, and the Assessor will not take these improvements into consideration when placing a value on the property. It is my recommendation and the recommendation of the Assessing staff that the ('.ity Council go on record as being in opposition to Senate File No. 103 as it would have the affect of placing an unequal burden of taxes on like praperty.

DATE: Mr. Brunsell, Mr. Qureshi, Honorable Mayor and City Councii Mervin Herrmann Senate File #T03---Benedict February 18, 1977 5F This bill relates to homes over 5 years old being improved, while not increasing the size of the house and therefore, no value could be added by the Assessor. The impact could be disas.trous as it is possible to b��y a house with good framing at a iow price and then remove the old siding and replace with modern siding and/or brick or stone. Then rebuilding the inside such as modern cupboards, built-in appliances, replacing gravity-type heating with modern hot water furnace, putting in false ceilings to reduce the old-style high walls, replace the old-style double hung windows and storms with modern, thermopane casement windows. The bathroom could be the old plaster and paint with the leg-type tub, which coald be replaced with a modern tub and also the other fixtures; modern recessed lighting and ceramic walls and floor. Electrical could be replaced with 200 AMP service, beautiful fixtures, wall , switches and outlets. Floors could be replaced with the best, modern quality, doors and door frames and window frames brought up to the finest of modern design. LJ , ' � � ' Modern air conditioning could be added. The list of improvements could be endless. The above items are mentioned to point out that a home could start as being the lowest valued house in an area and perhaps end up being the most beautiful and valuable and still pay the lowest tax. If an incentive for improvements were to be made, I would suggest the extra value to be added in say, four or five-year steps, recognizing inflation and having the Market Value at 100� at the end af that time. This step procedure would only be a trade off for something worse such as S.F.#103. The idea of having a house go on forever at its original value and adding only for inflation would create very unfair tax burdens to the other homeowners as long as we have an Ad Vaiorum Tax system. - Under present conditions, I would be very inclined to go along with exempting , any value for energy conservation; such as extra insulation, weather stripping storm windows, or solar energy heating systems, etc. � Also, if Mr. Benedict's bill suggested some form of relief out of State Tax Funds as a refund on the improvement value that would be somewhat of another story. . But it should not mess with equalization of the real estate tax burden locally. , � ' � �`�f: ( 1' - . � �� SENATE FILE #103: 5 G ,� . . � S.F. iO3, a� first consideration, would appear to be the answer to one of the strongest , comp�aints of �homeowner-taxpayers. No longer would they have to worry about making 'improvements in their house and then get "taxed to death" for it. Two objectives i �im rov m n s in homes that don't seem to be the target of the bi11. One s ta allow p e e t ( � ' � � increase their size) without adding taxable value. Secondly, to encourage energy conservation measures within the home, by exempting the value of such measures from property taxation. This type of proposal, aiong wfth "Limited Taxable Value" laws, "Limited Improvement Vaiue" laws, "New Pla�'iaws and the iike, requires a serious re-evaluation of the meaning of "Market Value" and "Ad Valorum" when used in the context of property taxation. 7o exempt or defer taxation, as these things do, is to debase the theory of property iaxation based on value. Certainly these ideas, such as S.F. 103, don't eliminate completely, .the value of property as the base for property taxation, but they do modify it to such an extent that e ual treatment under the law becomes difficult, if not impossible, to accomp7ish. I would like to present an example of how ihis particular biil, S..F. iO3, would affect ' the equalization of taxatian of typical homes presentiy being buiit in Fridley. Assume: A split-entry style home of i,100 sq/ft ground area covered. It has an � � �J ' attached 22�x 22�garage. The entry level is finished and has a closet. The upper ]evel is finished completely with a living room, dining room, kitchen, l bathroom and 2 bedrooms. The stairway ]eading to the basement from the entry is finished and there is a door at the foot of it. The basement is unfinished, however, there is a stud bearing wall placed so that future room placement will be convenient. This type of home is the most popular style being built today. The attractive feature of it is, that a family can grow into it. With the basement, 2 out of the ground, it provides logical and inexpensive expansion space and indeed this is exactly how they are used. �, Assume: The basic house, as described as being valued at $30 per sq/ft at 1,100 sq/it =$33,000. The garage of 484 sq/ft at $7 =$3,400. Let's say the lot is worth , _ . • ' �,•. � •��: . . ' . . of Janu ar 2 1977. • � 9 000. Total value - 45 400 as � �. �. . . . . $ � . . . y . . . : ,�% � ' � , .�� .- . � 5 H Now let's assume, 5 years down the road that sale prices of these homes are increasing at a rate of 10� per year. That would make this home, now, worth about $73,100 as of January 2, 1982. Now, an identical home is.built just a couple of doors away from home #l. Identical from the outside, but with 800 sq/ft of the basement finished with a family room, 2 bedrooms and a bath. We'll 'say this 800 square feet has a value of $8.00 per sq/ft or $6,400. This house then should be worth $79,500. And if the Assessor is doing his job properly, that's the value he will enter on the books and.the owner will be paying taxes in 1983 based on that value. During the year, 1981, the owner of home #1 finished his basement similar to that of home #2. If this bi11, S.F. 103, were in effecfi, the owner of home #2 would pay taxes on about $6,400 more value than owner of home #1. If you just use the current tax rate in Fridley, projected to this example, the difference would be an additional $244 in tax to home #2. The result is obviaus. This is probably the most likely example to occur with passage of the bill. However, of ever increasing popularity is the extensive remodeling and •modernization of much older homes without increasing�size. Inequality would be the same in these cases, too. , I realize the common impression of Assessors heid by the general public, is someone who is constantly looking for more value to tax. And on this one note alone, S.F. 1.Q3 � could gain substantial support. I won't try to ckispel this notion of Assessors because it wouid be futile. And actually, in the proper sense, it is true. The Assessor, by law is literally obligated to make a diligent search for all taxable property. ' But the Assessor's ultimate duty by 1aw is to appraise all taxable property at its market value. If this were truly the case, equality in assessement would be much more of a reality than it is under present law. For the law is conflicting. On the one hand, the Assessor must value at Market Value; on the other, for instance, he must not value the lots of a new plat at a higher aggregate value, than that of the original tract of land before platting. This must be done for 3 years from date of platting or when a hous� is built on the loi. Therefore, you can have a home in a new plat with the house and lot valued and paying taxes at full market and have a lot, two iots away, valued at � far below market vaiue and paying taxes accordingly. , • ,,': . . . . . . � �w'• .. � /� x � I � � _ �� tir . 5� The Assessor is also required to exempt from valuation an improvement worth less than $1,000 to a property, unless such property is due to be appraised in the annual quartile. This is pursuant to the 10� Limited Ualue Increase law. I� All of these measures, although intended to keep property taxes down, or at least I' to control increases in taxes do nothing but create unequal spreading of the tax � burden. Any reduction or limiting or exempting of value wi]� on]y swing the burden �� from one point to another, because the tax rate for any particular entity wiil be applied equally over the total value of its area. I'm sure that Assessors, as a group, have no quarrel with keeping property taxes down. , Naturall , if taxes sta reasonable, the Assessor, who bears the brunt of taxpayers Y Y � hostiiity, would be able to rest easier. Nowever, the Assessor being the closest public official to the overall property tax picture, quickly sees and feels the total iunfairness of legislation that alters the basic theory of property taxation. , � � ' �� With respect to S.F. 103, one of i.ts objectives, that of energy conservation, can probably better be accomplished through an income tax credit or by direct financial assis tance. These methods, too, would have to be shared by all other taxpayers, but at least it would be statewide and not fail heavily on taxpayers of new homes in older areas and communities where the need for upgrading of homes would be greater, in terms of energy conservation. � �.�, � �> > 5' �7 � �/�A � � _( Q � i ' � . � , ' j1 � 0 ❑ � ORDINANCE N0. 6 ' AN ORDINANCE UNDER SECTION 12.07 OF THE CITY CHARTER TO VACATE STREETS AND ALLEYS AND TO AMEND APPENDIX C OF TNE CITY CODE ' The Council of the City of Fridley do ordain as follows: SECTION 1.

Sobiech, Public Works Director February 24, 1977 Public Works Responsibility for Repairs to Sewer and Water Connections � Please be advised that it has come to my attention that there is a conflict between actual practice involved in sewer and water connection repairs and what appears to be the interpretation of r a section of Chapter 402 of the City Code. In practice the Public Works Department has repaired that part of a sewer and water connection lying in the street between the property line and the water main or sewer lateral. The City Code indicates it should be the responsibility of the owner to make any repairs of the service. Since the City of Frid].ey requires that certain specifications be followed for the installation of sewer and water services and makes inspections to ensure these specifications are followed, it seems proper that if maintenance is required on that portion oi the service connection initially installed and inspected by the City, that the City sho�ld in fact be xesponsible for subsequent repairs. Therefore, with this in mind, it is xecommended that the existing ordinance be modified to reflect actual maintenance practice. It is requested that the attached ordinance be considered by the Council at the meeting of February 28, 1977. RNS/jm � � r � ORDINANCE N0.

REPORT.FROM GTV: Mr. Hungerford stated he talked to Mayor Nee today. Mayor Nee �:as been inquiring , as to the cost of putting character generators in operaCion for the City, School District ��14, and the Library. Mr. Hungerford told Mayor Nee they could put one character generator at GTV and put three channels out, one to each of those [hree places. He said it would cost $3,000 for the character generator and $1,400 each for ithe channels, totalling $7,200. Mayor Nee felt that was reasonable and felt he would like to press forward with that. , .� � i � 1 ` . I � Mr Hungerford stated that before Christmas he had talked to the Fridley High School P rincipal, Pir. Dick Stanton, about the possibility of their setting up some kir.3 of a mini-studio at the school from which they could send whatever they wanted (ballgames, plays, concerts, etc.). They could use the same channel to the character generator. Mr. Stanton seemed very interested in pursuing this and said that over the holidays , he would go see the Bloomington system and take a look at the Jefferson High School set-up, because they do have a channel that is their own. Mr. Stanton stated he wanted to get together with his people and then he and Mr. Hungerford will getback together. Mr. Hungerford stated that, hopefully, he will have something positive to report at the next meeting. Y � , t II� I'i ��. � � , ' 11 A CATV COi�IISSION MEETING JANUARY 4 1977 PAGE 2 Mr. Hungerford stated that he has been thinking about all the equipment GTV has and they are not using it, so they would like to start doing some little things and slowly build up, He feels they tried to do too much before the community was really prepared for it. If they are going to try to come back into it, they should really take one step at a time and try to do some little things to create some interest on both sides and hope to get some community support from it. They thought they might start by taking their ;nobile unit to a shopping center or store in Fridley and do a kind of "man-on-the-street" interview, stopping people in the store and asking them questions about key topics. They could start out with something like that and see how it goes over and then work into other things. Mr. Hungerford stated he wouLd do the interviewing and he has a technician who would operate the camera and equipment, They would tape these interviews and maybe have a sign on the van that would say it is be£ng taped and would be shown at a certain date and time on Channel 25. Hopefully, it would be good advertising. It will be at a minimal cost until they can afford to do a little more. . Mr. Hungerford stated another thing they are going to do is add vintage movies to their Channel 3 5uper Sport Station--prior to the Super Sports, maybe 6:30 in the even�ng and maybe a couple of times a week in the afternoon. Since they have gotten away from Cinema III, they have gotten calls from people who really miss the after- noon showings they had a couple of times a week. They have already signed the contract for these movies and they should begin playing them in middle to late January. Mr. ScotC stated that he and Mr. Hungerford had talked a little about the possibflity of access night opening up again. ' Mr. Hungerford stated he can see no reason why they can't set it up in the near future. 1 As he had said earlier, they can start off slowly again on this and maybe set a couple of hours a week up where they could open it up to the public, if they can get the qualified people to run the equipment. � � � i ,' � � � � Mr. Kaspszak stated he wanted to know what could be done to improve the quality of the Fridley City Council meetin�s so that people watching could know what was going on, not particularly with the visual but with the audio�. He would like to see an effort on Mr. Hungerford's part to coordinate the sound effort and to inform Council members to speak into their microphones. Mr. Hungerford stated he would look into better microphones and also talk to Mayor Nee. OLD $USINESS• 1. Response to State Cable Board Regarding Renewal of Certificate (MCCC103) Mr. Scott stated that everyone has received a copy of the response to the State Cable Canmission on the certificate. He said he talked to John Wallaneyer Coday and the meeting will be on January 14, 1977, and this item on their agenda should come up sometime in the afternoon. Mr. Scott stated he didn't know what the Commission's feelings were on whether they should send someone to the meeting to speak the Commission's point of view again.

Mrs. Schnabel asked if Berkeley Pump had ever attempted to purchase this property before, and Mr. Toews replied that this was the first time. Mrs. Schnabel said the reason she was questioning this was she Imew Berkeley Pump had a request for a variance coming through the Appeals Commission on that same property, and Mr. Toews said he was aware of that. Chairperson Harris asked if ?ir. Toews kne�r if it was the intention of Berkeley Pump to put an additi.on on, and he replied that he didn't think it was their plan to add on. Mr. Toews added he didn't Icnow if they could add on if they wanted to because there was an easement involved. Chairperson Harris said a site plan had been sub;nitted to the City from Berkeley Pump dated Januaxy 31, 1977, which showed a proposed addition. He noted that it was zoned Industrial. Mrs. Schnabel said that in reference to this, the existing building was on iots 3� !� and 5, and at one point they had wanted a permit to add on to the West side of that building. She explained they were denied that permit, but were granted a permit to add on to the North side of the building. Chairperson Harris said it appeared fror� the plat that Ber keley had taken into account the 10' drainage and utility easement on the Easterly side of the property. He noted the property was an acre and a half, so it did conform with the zoning requirements. rirs. Schnabel pointed out this had been �rezoned to r11 in 197l�. After some discussion on if the zoning was 2�I7. or M2, rTr. Bergman said it should go into the minutes that this was being considered an Ml property. Mr. Bergman asked hrhat the variance was far, and Ilrs. Schnabel explained it wa5 a setback variance to reduce the building setback from 100' to ?3'. .i MOTION by Schnabel, seconded by Shea, that the Planning Commi.ssion close � the Public Hearing on Propose Preliminary Plat P.S. ��77-01, Arnal Addition, by Arnold and Alvan Toews.

PUBLIC HEI'�RI1•1G : COMP1fUNITY DN;': EIAPt iE1dT BLOCK GRANT PREAPPLICATION MOTION by Bergman, seconded by Schnabel, that the Plannin� Commission open the Public Hearing on the Corlmunity Development Block Grant Preapplication. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chairperson Harris declared the Public Hearing open at 8:02. Mr. Ned Storla was present. Mr. Boardman expZained to the Commission that in 196It the Office of Housing and Urban Development grouped all of their funding possibilities into one lump sum and called i� a Block Grant, instead of having twelve or thirteen separate grants. Out of that Block Grant, he continued, were entitlenent cities and discretionary funds; the entitlement cities got an automatic grant out of those Block Grant monies, and the discretionary funds were then opted for by all other bodies that t�ant to try to get monies. N's. •• Boaxdman said that what thay were going through now was the preapplication-- this i.s an application to HUD to see if they could get invited to make application for monies. Mr. Boardman informed the Commission that a public inforr►ation meeting had been held about a week ago on the preapplication form as to what type of projects were eligible for funding and this type of thing. He said that a,etually there were three categories, but the two that were of main concern werz: l. Acquis�ticn of real property £or redeveiopment, parks, or any other public purpose permitted by state and local Iat•r. 2. Acquisition�construction or reconstruction of public works such as neighborhood and corimunity centers, streets, street lights� wells� �rater and sewer lines, and pedestrian malls. / He said that some of the other eligible activities �Tere code enforcement; demolition, clearance or rehabilitation of buildings; relocation costs; and administrative expenses. Mr. Boardman explained that the application was judged according to a certa.in 100 point scale process, and the criteria by which the preapplications were judged were mainly based on low and moderate income housing statistics. Mr. Bergman asked if that meant if a city had enough low and moderate income housing they would have a better chance of getting money, and rir. Boardr►an said that was right. Mr. Boardman said there were five criteria for selection. The first one ' was based on the extent and percentage of poverty and substandard housing, and a city could �et 20 points maximum. He explained that five points would � be ay�arded for each of the following factors: 1. Extent (number of poverty ' pei•sons)� 2. Percentage of poverty persons, 3. Extent (number) of substandard housing units, and 4. Percentage of substandard housing units. I�Ir. Boardr�an said that each city was based on every other community in the ' ' LJ � ' ' �J ' ' ' ' ' ' ' u ' planning Commission Meeting - February 9� 1977 metropolitan area, and got a certain number of points on that scale. Page � � � Mr. Boardman stated that the second ara��or criteria was the benefit of the project to low and moderate income families, with 35 points maximum. The third criteria, he said, was the expansion and conservation of low or moderate income housing stock, with a maximum of 25 points. The fourth was if there Has a condition which was a serious threat to hcalth or safety and the project did something to prevent that (l0 points maximum}, and the last was that points would be awarded when the funds would be used in combination with tunds from other Federal or State sources (10 points maxirnum). Mr. Boardman said that the activities that had been set up for the pre- application �were mainly: 1. The development and enforcement of a Housing I�iaintenance Code - $21�, 000. 2. The development of a Rehabilitation Grant Program -$100,000. 3. The developMent and operation of a Housing and Maintenance Resource Center and Workshop - �6,000. � He stated that there were several stipulations: the grant couldn't be directed t,oward a city-wide operation, ii had to be directed to more of a neighborhood operation; and a.ny rehabilitation grants or loans had to be done in connection with some city r�ork in the area, such as a street improvement program. He said the grants could be tied in with a street improvement program if the program had been done a year before or scheduled for a year anead. 2•ir. Boardman stated that in Primary Focus Area II a street improvement project had gone through last year, and in the Hyde Park area (Primary Facus Area I), a street improvement program was scheduled for next year, so tho"se two focus areas would fit within the criteria of rehabilitation. � Mrs. Shea asked if the compiled statistics weie based on the whole eitv or just the certain areas that would receive the money. Pir. Boardman said that the criteria was for within the areas. Mr. Bergman wondered how many of the public attended the public meeting held last week, and I�;r. Boardman said there were about 1!t people, three of which Were not connected with government. � Mr. Bergman noted that there would be a preapplication made to the State , Office of the Federal ?iUD Department for �21�,000 for the development and enforcement of the ;iousing Maintenance Code. He said that the City had already spent six months or more developing this code, and asked if they ' were already spendin� sor�e of that $2l�,000. rir. Boardr�an said no� that the monies would be strictly for the enforceir,ent of the Housing rlaintenance Code. . He said they couldn't get money to pay for something they had already done. ' Mr. Bergman asked if ti�ere was some history that said proceeding with the development of a Housing Code at city expense and then requesting flu�ds for ' , 1 , lJ ' ' ' � � �� I ' � ' � � C� Plannin� Commission Meeting - February 9, 1977 Page 5 the enforcement of sr�me had a more successful ring to it (stood a better chance of �etting the money) than holding off on the development and request- fng financin� for both. Mr. Boardman comrnented that it was hard to say, but he thought they did look more favorably on sornething that already had money spent on it as they wanted to make sure the project was off the ground. Chairperson Harris said that something about this bothered him, and asked Mr. Boardman to go over the Focus Points again. rir. Boaxdman explained that Focus �,rea I was North of Holiday Village between riain Street and University up to 61st (the Hyde Park area), and Focus Area II Vras 61st to 53rd between 7th And University. Chairperson tiarris asked if those were priority one .and two, and P•ir. Boardman said that was correct. Mr. Harris said that it seemed to him that this proposal may be contradictory to r^ocus Area I in its present zoning. 1•1r. Boardman said that only about half of that was zoned Commercial, if that, and at least half was still residential and V�as zoned as such. 1ir. Harris said that until they got that situation straightened out one way or another, maybe they ought to delete the C2 area from the Focus Area. Mrs. Schnabel said she disagreed with that. She stated there was residenti� in the C2 that was really going to ruin because those people couldn't get any kind lf loans to rehabilitate their housing. Chairperson Harris said the problem was they were running contradictory to the zoning codes by doing this. Mrs. Sc;uiabel said if the C2 vrasn't included in the program for rehabilitation, she was afraid that area would get even woxse and the surrour,d- inc� areas wouldn't improve their property, either. Mr. Boardman stated that they were really not going in contradiction to �ahat the zoning ordinance said. He added that upgrading or rehabilitating the property was allowed, but the use could not be expanded. Chairperson ?Iarris sai,d the thing that disturbed hiM was he felt they would be perpetuating the situation down there if they did this. He said that if they kept promoting rehabilitation and upgrading of the residentia,l ar�a, it never would go to C2. Mr. Bergman commented that it sounded to him like an example where a city administration-sponsored rezoning might be a wise move. Chairperson Harris said he discussed that with some Council persons and the consensus of opinion was that before the Cit,y would initiate a rezoning action there, they t•rould like to see a petition from the affected residents and get their feelings. He said it seemed like they were running kind of contradictory here; if they were going to preserve the inte�rity of a residential neighborhood it would be one thin�, but it was not really a residential neighborhood. rlr. Board.�nan said it r�as a residential neighborhood as the existing use was. Mrs. Schnabel asked �ahai the proportion of residential versus commercial was in that C2 area, and Mr. Boardman said it was about 80ro residential. ' Mr. Bergman as?ced how they ever got single family in a C2 zone. Mr. Boardman explai.ned that it was zoned R3� then in 1968-1969 the residents along there petitioned tor a rezoning to Commercial thinking that they could sell their I property for great profits. He added that they had a consultant do a report on that and he recommended against Commercial zoning in there, but the City ��i ' �D �'� � � plAnning Commission Meeting - February 9, 1977 Page 6 12 E ' ' � Council at that time did their own study on it and came up with the exact opposite, and rezoned it Commercial. ' Mr. Peterson asked how deep the C2 was from 51st, and Mr. Boardman replied about a block and a half deep. rir. Peterson said he traveled that street quite a bit and found it hard to believe that that property would ever be � choice residential area. He added he thought there was some justification for leaving 1t�Comr►ercial. He said there was quite a bit of traffic and naise in that area, and it was going to continue to be a problem. He further added that it was not an R1 area by definition in terms of what they felt , people should. be living in. Chairperson Harris commented that there was quite a bit of Commercial in there when he stopped to think about it, and he was uncertain about this whole deal. Nir. Peterson stated that in his ' mind that was not R1 property, and they were just kidding themselves because people were not going to be happy with the noise on University. ' Chairperson Harris said that maybe tirhat they should be doing is lookir.g at this as some other zoning. l�ir. Bergman said it would seem odd to hir�, if he was HUD, to receive a request to aid housing that was on property that had just recently been rezoned to Commercial. He said he thought something � ought to change, although he wasn�t sure what. Chairperson Harris said that was what had been bothering him. ' Mrs. Schnabel said she thought that the City should make up its mind which wav they wanted to go with this area, and if they didn't want to rezone zt back to R3 then it was useless to go through this application. A1r. Boardman ' commented that he thought the Gity had ptt quite a burden on those people; they had come in to get it rezoned, and the City shouldn�t have gone along with them. He said the City should have used its better judgement, based on the consultant's reports, and not rezoned it Corrunercial. He stated that ' the road pattzrns were poor and not geared toward Comrr,ercial pro-perty, so if the City wanted that to go with Cor,unercial property they ��ould have to take initiative on it through street improvenent. i�1r. Boardman added that � if the City went along with the scheduled street improver�ent plan in that area with the road pattern that was presently there, it would practica�ly* kill any Commercial development in that area. • � Mrs. Schnabel said that she felt that the residents in the area living in owner-occupied homes had something at stake, and that was their neighborhood , was deteriorating and that deterioration was encroaching on those owner- occupied homes. She said that somehow or other those people would like to have that area preserved and upgraded to protect their own property. � Chairpersori Harris suggested that perhaps they should be looking at a special zonin� for that area. Mr. Boardrian said at present there were three zones there: R2 primarily along 61st; R3, which was the balance of ' property between riain Street and 2'-� Street; and Commercial in the i.nverted "L" shape bordering University. ' Mr. Bergman said that one clean approach would be to limit this application to the presently zoned Residential portion of the block� but A1rs. Schnabel � ' ' ' ' ' Planning Commission Meeting - February 9, 1977 � F Page ? disagreed. She said there were private family dwellings that were being rented out that were in the Commercially zoned area, and that was the area that was deterioratin� so badly. She asked if they wanted to let it just fa12 apart with the hope that those peop].e would sell their property commercially. Mr. Peterson commented that if the area was upgraded there would still be problems because of the traffic noise, and Chairperson Harris added that if it was upgraded it would just perpetuate the situation. Mr. Bergman said he thought it was a zoning question. He said that if the ' zoning shown on a map was good zoning, then they should face up to it. Chair- person Haxris� asked whoever said it was good zoning, and said that maybe Wha� they needed was something like a_�plannect unit developmeni. ' � ' u , ' � � ' Mr. Boardman stated that if the City went along with Cornmercial, the only way Commercial Yrould develop would be with a renewal project. The City would have to purchase the property, bulldoze it down, and ptzt it up for sale with a new road pattern. He said that the units that are along a lot of that Commercial property are apartment buildings--buildings on a Corrunercial property that would have to be torn down in order to rebuild. He continued that the lot situation in the area tras an old plat type thing, similar to the Onaway axea, and the street pattern was poor for Cor,unercial development. Mrs. Schnabel said that if the City applied for a Block Grant and it became known that monies were available for rehabilit�ation, some people would take ad��antage ef it and some would choose not to. She said that there may be a number of those paxticular dwellings tnat were getting in poor condition, and those otmers might choose not to apply for a loan on tne chance they could still sell the property for a comr►ercial venture. She stated that those residents �,��ho did decide to apply would have to be at�are of the type of zoning tt�ey had and that there was a possibility that there was a cnance that commercial property may go in. She said she didn't necessarily think they should eliminate tnat area from the rehabilifation progxfa�n, but thought the people living there had to be aware of what their zoning problem was. Mr. Boardman co:nmented that he thought there would be a point in the near future when the City would have to make a commitment in thai area either one way or another. He said the Hyde Park issue had been brought up time and time again, and a study had been done a couple of years ago to see how it should be developed. I�ir. Boardman said the City would have to make a decision on it at some point in time, and if they were going to go with Commercial they should start taking a look at redevelopment in the axea. He said that if they don't want redevelopment in the area, they will have to face up to the fact that it taill never be Commercial, but would be a real mess. Mr. Bergman said he dicln�t believe the City would ever make a cor,unitment. , He thought tr,at if anything changes it would be because a commercial developer came alon� and wanted that property to develop. r1r. Boardman said that the problem with that was it was not good planning and was not good for the City, ' and they would end up with a mix of uses in there that were not necessarily good neighbor uses. Mrs. Shea commented that she thou�ht the Czty would have to decide within the next month which w�y they wanted that area to go. ' ' Planning Commission Meeting - February 9� 1977 Page 8 Mr. Bergman said he thought the problem was they were talking about putting money into R1 and R3 property in a present C2 zone. He said he did feel fairly comfortable with the thought that as far as the preapplication grant went� it should not include requesting money to put into residential property in a present and recently rezoned C2 area. Mr. Boardrnan said he thought they could safely maintain this application mainly because the areas they were applying for were block rg ouP areas. He said that wnether it was Comriercial or had no Commercial , it was a bl.ock group area. He explained that the boundaries for the Primary Focus areas were the boundaries because the data that was available for the areas was based on that boundary area. Mrs. Schnabel said that she disagreed with Mr. Bergman� and felt there was a�ot of potential far housing in that area. She said it was not a total commercial area, and felt there were residential units (�hether they were Rl or R3) within that Focus Area tnat needed rehabilitation that might :be accomplished through a low-interest loan or a grant of some type to get the property upgraded. 5he said there were some hor�es that were very nice, and those people would like to preserve their neighborhood. 12 G Mr. Bergman asked if this grant would give the property owners the opportunity �� to get a low-interest loan. Mr. Boardman replied no, this would be a direct grant and would cost them nothing if they met the criteria. :-ie said �hat he doubted very much if the City would want to get involved in the lo:r- � i.nterest loan business� but the City would do the screening for tne gran�:s. He stated that out of this $130�000 program, money could be used for adminis- trative costs. ' Mr. Bergman asked what was expected of this body on this subject, and Chair- person Harris said the Commission should recommend to Council ei�her their concurrence, concurrence with changes or their disapproval. �ie explained � the Council taas loolcing for some recor�,mendation fror� the Planning Comriission, and that recomrnendation had to be given tonight as the deadline was February 18, 1977. � � � ' � � ' Chairperson Harris cited an example of a house in a C2 zone that met all of . the criteria for a direct grant. He said that if this property owner received a grant of $5,000 and upgraded 'nis house, raising its market value by $7,000, this would be a non-conforming use in a C-2 zone perpetuated by the City. Mrs. Schnabel pointed out that they also had a goal to provide low and noderate incoMe housing in the City. Chairperson Harris said that if they taanted to perpetuate non-conforming use in a different zone, then r�aybe that zone was not the correct one. :�ir. Boardrian explained that a non-conforming use was allowed in a different zone and was allowed to remai.n a non-conforming use as long as that use did not expand, althougii it could be maintained and up�raded. rir. Harris asked why it should then be a non-conforming use, and Mr. Boardman explained that they didn't want that non-conforming use to expand or �et larger. He explained that if there was a non-conforning Commercial use in a Residential area, that Commercial would not be allowed to expand with another addition to perpetuate that Commercial� although it would be allowed to continue and could be maintained. � �_! .___1 r� , �_ , � , , ' ' � � ' ' ' ' � � , ' 41 � P�anning Commission Meetin� - February 9� 1977 Pege 9 Mrs. Sohnabel commented that she was sorry that the people who live in the area hadn�t gotten a petition together up to this point as that would give the City an idea of how the property owners felt. MOTION by Shea, seconded by Peterson, that the Planning Commission close the Public Hearing on the Community Development Block Grant Preapplication. Upon a voice vote, a11 voti.ng aye, Chairperson Harris declared the Public Hearing closed at 9:16 P.M. � MOTION by Bergman, seconded by Peterson, with the following considerations: 1) Time available ap�ears to be limited to tonight and recognizing that this body had not had a chance to allow for time to explore alternatives, and 2) Recogniz�.� ihat the zoning anci actual use in Focus Area 1 are mix.ed, the Planning Co:�.^�ission recomriends to Council that the Comrlunity Development B].ock Grant Preapplication be revised to encompass only the property presen tly zoned Residential. Chairperson Harris asked if Mr. Bergman would consider adding the follo�ring sentence: In the event that the sections zoned C2 would be rezoned to residential, then that also would be included in Focus Area I. Mr. Bergman said he agreed with the thought behind that, but t•rondered if it was germane. He added that one of his considerations was the lack of tiMe. Mr. Boardman said he wished to point out that this was a pr�application, and it would be back again if they were ir.vited to apply for a Community Development Block Grant application. 'rie said that Public Hearings �rould again be neld, and adc3ed that he felt coMfortable with the preapplicati�n as it was laid out. He stated that if they started revising t'�e preapplication he would feel uncomiortable selling it to HUD. Chairperson Harris said he thought they would have trouble selling it to HUD with the C2. .%! Mr..Peterson said that he would Iike to speak in favor of th�motion for two reasons: 1) As a member of the Commission he felt more comfortable by deleting the Corn�ercial section from the preappl�.cation and avoiding spending bad money after good money, and 2) He .felt. �hey were highlighting what the problem was and were sending it on for other people to wrestle with. Mr. Board.�an said he was not sure ho�r r1r. Bergrnan's motion could be written itlto the preapplication. He said that as far as policy went on enforcing this� the policy could state that no grant monies taould be approved in Commercial areas. As far as �;he application iaent, he said, it was based on the inforinati.on they had broken dot�n by block �roup, and data by block was not available. A1r. Boardman stated that as far as the policy went in dispersing that r�oney out, they could say they would only give monies in Focus Area I to non-commercial properties, but that did not have to be written in the preapplication. Mr. Bergman said he would li�ce to make several comments. First, he thou�ht if City Administration could successfully sell that kind of thing to the City Council, that was fine. �econdly, he said� he thought that as citizens and taxpayers tiiey had some responsibility to apply some conservatism to the I2 H �� Plunning Commission Meeting - February 9, 197? ... - - p��e �0 12 I ' expenditure of their own money. He said, that if they were going to make use o� the �rant he thought they should t�e a little bit prudent in how they were gofng to do it. He continued ihat his best judgement said that if they had ' to make a decision tonight, they had to deal with the facts they had and the situation as it exists, and he could not in good conscience ask for government money to be spent to perpetuate the situation of Residential property in the Commercial area. He said he did not feel the sureness that � this was the ri�ht way to go, so therefore his view.was "don't spend the money". He said he preferred to leave the motion as it stood. ' Mr. Boardman stated that as he had said before, he thought it could be handled as a policy matter. He said he preferred to leave the preapplication written as it was because the information that was broken dor�m for the area was broken , down for Primary Focus Area I. He said that �ras done by Block Group, a.nd that area was a Block G:oup, and the criteria they had to use was based on that area. t•Sr. Peterson corunented that it sounded like what had happened ' was Holy Writ and there was no way to change it. He said he couldn't see • why the application couldn't read the same, less that area that is C2. P�ir. Boardman said that would then change their data. ' � ' ' LJI Chairperson Harris said that he thought if the application was approved as written, those people in C2 could �o ahead and get those grants. Mr. Boardman pointed out that they would be allowed to set criteria cahere the C2 districts would not be eligible for the grant. r1r. Bergman questioned iha�, and said that if they applied for a bZock grant for upgrading residential property and outlined the area, and then excluded half the residential property, that tras not setting criteria but changing the plan. UPON A VOICE VOT�, Haxris, Bergman and Peterson voting aye; Schnabel and Shea voting nay, the motion carried 3- 2. ,i' / Chairperson Harris declared a recess at 9:35 and reconvened the meeting at 9:50 P.M. 3. RECOA'A'��iDATION ON EAST RTVER ROAD PROJECT FEPORT Mr. Boardman infori�ed the Cor�mission that the parkway suggestion from the ' East River Road Project Committee had been sent down to Parks and Recreation, Human Resources and Comr,nznity Development, and they had responded. Fiowever, he said, there ti�as never a Planning Co�timission response on that information ' and now it would be appropriate for the Planning Commission to give a response on that. He added that the subcorunissions' reco.-r�r•aendations were included in the agenda. � u ' �I �, :� Mrs. Schnabel asked if the City Council had had already acted on this, and Mr. Boardman replied they had not. He said that the Plannin� Commission had sent on to Council without recommendation the moratorium on East River Road, and the other part of that motion (development of the parkway system) was sent :_;: . � ' ' Planning Commission Meeting - February 9, 19?? Page 11 down to the member commissions for review. He said that each one of the member commissions had�made a motion on that, and added that the Council had approved the moratorium. Mr. Bergman said he thought the project was disapproved. He stated that � there were two items sent to Community Developr�ent; one was the question of designating East River Road as a par�cway, the other was a review of the East River Road Committee plan as opposed to rrhat exists and the county ' plan whicn would leave the two-lane limitation existing. He said they had been sent both questions. Mr. Peterson said that he thought t�ir. Bergman was right. He said that ' in terrns of�City Council action, he thought they had already acted on it with plans to finish East River Road. They had received the input, he continued, evaluated the information and had given permission to the county ' to apply for funds. Chairperson Harris explained that the county had applied, with City permission, to the Federal government (possibly the Departrnent of Transportation) for funds to do the work on that 3/!t of a ' mile. He said that whetner the application had been approved, he didn't know� but he suspected that if it hadn't been approved the work would not be done. � � � � ' ' �1 U � � ;� � Mr. Bergman said that he agreed that Council had apparently taken action, bu: it was done without recomrnendation fror� this body relative to which plan had the mosi: merit (the two-lane or four-lane). He added that maybe it was all redundant at this time. rIr. BergMan stated that he felt a bit awkward on this as they had spent some time verbalizing about the way tnat subcommittee was operating and how they were bypassing process and how they should be going througn proper cnannels (through F�vironmental to Planning Commission te City Cour:cil). He stated that this Com^�ission had_dropped the.ball as far as proper route because they hadn't said "yea" or "nay" as to what they spent all tneir time on. i4r. Bergman said th�at a fair amount of time had also oeen spent at Coru;,ission levels on tnis, and Community Developr�ent had done a fair amount of research. �3e noted that those minutes had come to the Planning Corli�nission and it had been suggested ,that he k ait until other Comrnission reports came in, and that was the end of it. 2•ir. Bergman stated that in the Community Development minutes there were some things that were germane. He said that C.D,C. thought this plan was ten years too early at the present time; they thought that until the Northtown corridor was completed the trend was for more and more traffic to cor�e in on East River Road and that to reduce East River Road now to two lanes caas completely out of context. He added that he thought they could all benefit from sor�e mutual understandin� of the scene, and his commission felt the subcoi:unitte's plan was ten years out of focus. Chairperson Harris said that they could take action on this, but because of the time frane he didn't think it would be worth a hill of beans. rlr. Boardman stated that he thought a recommendation that might come out of this on these two issues (the recomRiendation on the parkway system and the East River Road ProjECt Co:nmittee report recorr��rtendation) could be similar to w}iat Conu�iunity Development c�rie up with in that these two items would be considered under n tr�nsportation plan. Chairperson Harris 12 J , Planning Commission Meeting - February 9, 19?? page 12 � K ' commented that was part of the mandatory comprehensive planning process� and this would work very well into that. 1 Mr. Peterson stated that hasically Parks and Recreation agreed with what Community DeveZopmeni had said, and their motibn was very similar except thut Parks and Recreation had coMbined both issues in one motion.

Planning Commission 1. That the plan to reduce the width of East River Road is in conflict with the present trend of traffic volume. 2. That the possibility of the proposed changes might be more feasible at the time of the development of the North Corridor. 3.

Mr. Boardman inforMed the Commission that the two plans that had�been requested at the last meeting were included in tne back of the agenda. Chairperson Harris noted that this had been precipitated by the Pako Photo that went in the SkyitiTood l•7a11's parking lot, and there had been some lengthy discussion about the area � block away from the intersection of 53rd and Cenl:ral i•rhere the driveway entrance on private property tied into a street intersection. He said they had asked P•ir. Boardr►an to get a proposal together to rernedy that situation, and that was what was before them now. Mr. Boardman stated that they had two proposa]s for street improvement of tiiat area, and botn were in the nei�hborhood of about $10,000 to $12�000. He said that was actual cost of the project i.mprovement, not including conder.ination costs. Mr. Boardman added that he couldn't really foresee any condemnation costs because any such costs would be char ged back to the property o�aner through assessment taxes. Mr. Peterson asked how the plan would affect the Pako Photo Shop, and r1r. Boardman poinied it out on the plan and said that was where they had wanted to build it in the first place. TIr. Peierson asked which plan Mr. Boardilan would reco:nmend of the two plans that had been submitted, and he replied the first one. .:�:.t� Planning Commission Meeting - February 9, 1977 Page 13 . -- Mrs. Shea asked how much land would be condemned� and Mr. Boardman replied it would be a strip ahout 20Q' in length. • Mr. Peterson said that when this nad been discussed previously, Chairperson Harris had been concerned that the Ground Round not be disturbed. He said he noted on the first plan that the Ground Round parking was left pretty mueh the w�y it was. Niz�. Boardman said that rras correct. Mr. Bergman stated that as he understood the plan, a great portion of the money would be spent on tahat is now private pro�rty, but sorne of it would be spent on public street dedication. t4r. Boardman said no, that was already part of an urbanization project. Mr. Bergman commented that if he was the properiy oVmer, he didn't think he wou2d agree with the plan. Chairperson Harris sai:d that they had been tryin� to get the property owner to do something for at least twelve years and he hadn't been willing, so this might be an incentive. Chairperson Harris asked if there was any inforrnation available on the number of fender-benders in that area, and rir. Eoardman replied that there probabl3� were reporis with the po�ice departnent. I�lrs. Shea said she felt there must be quite a few, and many close calls. I�Ir. Harris said they should get that information to go with this package if this went to Council. Mrs. Schnabel asked P�r. Board.man why he preferred plan A over B, and he replied that he felt it had better potential �or traffic control. riainly, he said, because one lane going up Tr�ith a direc � lane into the Skywood rlall would give more control at the end of the channelization area. Nlrs. Schnabel pointed out where she thought there may be some confusion with plan A, and I•�Ir. Board.��2n commented that he felt there taouid be more traffic confusion gaing with plan B, and pointed out what he meant on the diagram of B. Chairperson �Iarris said that he thought irom an aesthetic-standpoint, plan A would have sone merit. He noted that there would be about 20' with greeriery and trees, while plan B would be just concrete ribbons and blacktop. � Mrs. Schnabel asked if that power pole would be shifted, and r1r. Boardman said it would. She asked if he could foresee any problem with people crossing Central (perhaps coming from Tar�et) and channeling into one lane. Air. Boardman said there would be two lanes, not one. rirs. Schnabel noted there was a proposed sidewalk shown, and asked if there kTas a sidewalk planned within the parlcin� area itself. rlr. Boarriman replied there was not. He added that accoi�ding to the bikeway plan, the bikeway would be running straight East through this area and up the hill. rirs. Schnabel said she was wondering if it woulc�n't be consistent to include a sidewalk within the parking area itself (on the North boulevard). She said that if there were bicyclists going through the parking area, at least it would keep them off the roadw�y. She noted there was also some pedestrian traffic through there because of the bus. rir. Boardrnan stated that if the I�fetro Transit went along with the proposal, that property that shot�ed a proposed sidel�alk would also be a bus turn-out area. Mrs. Schnabel commented that she still 12L � 1 ' LJ Planning Commission Meeting - February 9� 1977 Puge 1� � 12 P1 � tertded to prefer plan B personally. Mr. Ber�man noted that on both plans there was a provision for a shortcut right hand turn, and he assumed that the only reason for that was for the convenience of the Ground Round customers who�mi�ht be parking on the other side of that barrier. rir. 9oardman said no, the purpose was to keep traffic from coming out of tne Skywood rfall area lot into that area. He explained that was a right only in, into the Skywood area. Mr. Peterson stated that he gathered from some of the comments that the � Commission would feel more comfortable with more data to submit with their recommendation. � � � ' � � , LJ ' MQTION by Peterson, seconded by Schnabel, that the Planning Commission continue the discussi,on of the proposed improvement at the intersection of 53rd and Central Avenue N.E. to the next meeting, asking Staff to provide the needed inf.ormation. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. 5. CONTINUID: PROPOSID r?AINTENA;;CE CODE Mr. Boardman told the Commission that at Monday night's City Council meeting concern was expressed as to the direction the Planning Cor�.�nission was going with the Maintenance Code, and the Council at that time requested a joint meeting with the Planning Com.-�ission for next �;dednesday, February 16th. �Ie stated thai the only topic would be the Hous�ng :?aintenance Co�e, and the Council felt that at this time they would l�ke to try to give the Planning Commission some direction as to what they are looking at. :ie added that the Council did request information on the codes frcm St. Louis Park, Minneapolis, etc., so they could prepare for this meeting. _ Mr. Peterson said he would like to express his confidence iri the Comr►ission's Chairman in that if ihere was going to be a joint meeting they at least get their input into that agen�a before they met: Mrs. Schnabel asked if there t,ras a concern iri that it was taking so long � or in the direction the Planning Comrnission was going, and Chairperson Harris replied both. MOTION by Schnabel, seconded by Peterson, that the Planning Comunission continue the discussion on the proposed Plaintenance Code to the next . Planning Commission meeiin� pending the results of the meeting with the City Council menbers. - Mrs. Schnabel said she would also like to recommend that rir. Harris, as � Chairperson of the Planning Commission, have an opportunity to h ave some input into the agenda for that meetin�; and also that the City Council members have a copy of what the Plannin� Commission was dealing with and �� what the�• had done to date. r2r. Boardman stated that tne Council had received copies of everything the Planning Corruaission had. Chairperson Harris asked what input r1rs. Schnabel would like into the agenda. She ' � � Pltu�ning Commission Meetin� - February 9, 197? Page 1� ��►� � , ' � � ' � , replied that her feeling was that at least he, as Chair of the Plannin� Commission, should be apprised of what they were thinking of in terms of the agenda and what their concerns were so he could elaborate on the agenda if he so desired, or �ahatever. Mr. Boardman told the Com^�ission that it sounded like the discussion at the Wednesday meeting �rould be Council trying to give their thoughts to the Planning Co.mrnission as to the direction that they think the Maintenance Code should go. He said that they felt that maybe there is some misunder- standing as to what the 1-!aintenance Code should be trying to accomplish, and they want to shed some light on that. He added that Council t�ranted to add some direction to the way the Planning Commission was looking at it. Mrs. Schnabel stated that in view of the fact that it had taken the Planning Commission this long to get through two paragraphs, she didn't find it offensive at all. � l�ir. Bergman said that concerning the reference to time, at their first meeting on this subject there was �he understanding that the Planning Commission taas going to send the code down to the member commissions for study. He said he f�lt there was a lack of direction to the member commissions and the Planning ComMission was going to establish some guidelines before sending it doi,r.z to the co.�runissions. He said he didn't lal�;w if that was still the plan, but they hadn't even approached that yet. � Chairperson Harris said he thought they had to have something to send to the r�ember commissions, and right now they didn't have anything to send to them. That was this Corimission's purpose, he said, to direct thera ' what to look at. rSr. Bergman stated that initially the plan tilas to send it to the conunissions for development, but he felt the Planning Commission was now developing the thing and would send it to them for r,eview. r r ' '' � UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. 6. OTHER BUSINESS: Chairperson Harris informed the Comr.iission there was a Planning Seminar to be held at the Radisson South on February 2Ltth and 25th, which would be similar to the one he and rlr.

Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. . � REPORT OF OFFICERS: Mr. Sheridan introduced Mr. John Terpstra, the attorney the Charter Coumnission had selected to represent them in their legal end of business. � , rir. Sheridan stated that at the last meeting one of the things that had been delegated t o him to do was to find out fram City Administration what had transpired as far as the amendments to the Charter were concerned. Mr. Sheridan stated he had received a ' 1976 in which Mr. Qureshi stated that letter from the City Manager dated November 19, � the "amendments proposed by the Charter Commission were unanimously adopted by the City Council by Ordinance No. 625. The public hearing on the amendments was held October 18, 1976, it was adopted on second reading October 25, 1976, and it was , published in the Fridley Sun November 3, I976. The ordinance will become effective 90 days a�ter the passage and publication of the ordinance." , Mr. Qureshi's letter also stated that,"It certainly is a great accomplisiiment on the part of the Charter Commission and a valuable achievement resulting from the cooperation of the Charter Commission and City Council." �� ' ■ � 13 A ` CHARTER COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 18, 1977 PAGE 2 '� _, ' Mr. Sheridan said that a copy of the Ordinance No. 625 had been sent along with the letter and, if the Com�nission so desired, he would ask Staff Co include copies of the letter and the Ordinance in the next mailing of the minutes of this meeting. He said he was sure they would like copies for their records. Ms. McChesney stated she had been given three names of people who would like to serve � on the Charter Commission. In the publicity, she had said she would send a letter on January lSth, but she had decided to wait until she had shared these names with the Commission. There are three vacancies on the Cou�ission to be filled. � Mr. Ash stated he�felt it would also be beneficial for the Commission to consider young people in the community for the Commission. � � Mr. Sheridan stated that if the Commission members had any more names of people who would be interested in serving on the Commission to contact either himself or Ms. McChesney in time for her to send a letter to the District Judge by February 1, 1977. LEGAL UESTIONS FOR MR. JOHN TERPSTRA: Mr. Sheridan stated that one of the things discussed at the last Commission meeting was the question regarding his position as chairperson. He had stated that he had served on the original Charter Commission and, after a time lapse in which the Commission was inactive, he was again appointed to serve on the present Commission. He said he has now served four years on this Commission. The Commission had decided that 'tra question of whether this would be considered two successive four-year terms. should be asked of Mr. Terpstra for his legal advice. Mr. Terpstra stated that the Statute was pretty clear about the fact that a member cannot serve more than two successive terms. But, he said his interpretation of the situation was that Mr. Sheridan's two terms are not successive from the standpoint that the Commission was not active for a period of time. He said he could see no problem with this. Mr. Sheridan stated that another question he had brought up last fall was whether the Commission should consider changing the "By-Laws" regarding a quorum. The Commission had some discussion on this at their annual meeting in November. He said the question that always came to mind was that generally a quorum was considered 5�/e of the body itself. The reason he brought it up for discussion was because there were times (but not many in the past four years) when the Commission did not have a quorum they could work with. He also stated that at this time the Commission was operating with only 14 members rather than 15 members. Mr. Terpstra stated that the Statute has provided that the Charter Commission can set up their own rules regarding a quorum. The Commission did so in their "By-Laws" when they set the quorum as eight (8) members. If the Commission would want to change the quorum in any respect, they would have to amend their "By-Laws" in accordance with their provision for amendments which are in the"By-Laws". He said he knew of no legal reason why the quorum had to exceed�50P/„ and it was really up to the Couunission. ' ' '"' �{ ' � � � � ' � ' � 13� CHARTER COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 18 1977 PAGE 3 Mr. Ash stated that in the last meeting the Commission had some discussion about "appointed members". He asked Mr. Terpstra the question, "what is a member"? Mr. Terpstra stated that the Statute has provided that a member would be a member until his position was filled. So, even if the Commission has an inactive member, that person will still be a member until his position was filled. Ms. McChesney suggested the Commission go ahead with changing the numberfor a quorum. MOTION by Peg McChesney, seconded by Ole Bjerkesett,'that the Charter Commission lower the number of inembers needed for a quorum from eight (8) members to seven (7) members. Upon a voice vote, Sheridan, Ash, McChesney, Langer, Bjerkesett, Ratcliff, McPherson, Johnson,,voting aye, Knof� voting nay, the motion carried. Mr. Sheridan stated that at the first Commission meeting where there are ten or more members present, they will bring this motion back on the floor to ratify the motion as far as changing the "By-Laws". Mr. Sheridan stated another question he had briefly told Mr. Terpstra over the telephone was the Commission's past discussions as to whether the Commission can have the power or the authority to sue the City Council to force action on things brought before them, particularly petitions that lay over. Mr. As:i stated this was something that has been discussed and they do not wish to choose sides, but when something was presented to the Council and the Charter said ° they are to take action on it and they do not take action--they do not do anything, then would the Charter Commission be able to sue the Council through the courts to force them to take action? The City Council could give the Commission that power. ' � ' � , � I ' � ' Mr. Bjerkesett stated that what the issue had been was that the Council had objected to three cases. One of them the Council refused to act on and it went to ehe Supreme Court. The Supreme Court supported the action of the Counci2. Another situation was where there were public admissions by people who falsely attested to signatures-- not knowing this was illegal. There was a reason for the Council not acting on those petitions. The question Mr. Bjerkesett had was whether or not the Commission could institute a Charter revision that would require an elected public official to even vote on a given issue? • Does the elected official have the right to stand silent on any issue, including the acceptance of a petition? The other question Mr. Bjerkesett had was if there was a penalty under State Law or Constitution that could be charged against a Couucilman by voting to accept a petition knowing that it was legally insufficient? Was the Councilman esposing himself to possible criminal action? The Council should conform to Charter revision. .. Mr. Ash asked if the Council would be willing to make a change in the Charter, Council passed it, and gave the Commission the money, would it be legal? Mr. Bjerkesett stated, as he understood the rights of the Charter Commission, they do not have the right of appropriating funding. His question would be if the Charter Coimnission �aould have the right to stipulate in the Charter that City Council must provide funding for the Commission? If it was up to the Council and they voted on the amount of funding every year, they could vote to leave it out. It would have to be something permanent and something thatFas available at any time the Commission would need it. � � � i � � � ' � J ' ' � ' ' � � � �'`. � 13 C CHARTER COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 18 1977 PAGE 4 Mr. Terpstra stated that the State Statute has stated that the Charter Commission can spend $1,SOO per year on legal assistance without Council authority. But if the Commission wanted to go beyond the $1,500, they would have to get authorization from the City Council. Mr. Terpstra also stated that he had gone through the State Statute and he had not found anything at this point that gave the Charter Commission the right to sue, although he said he would research it further. He said the whole Commission's existence was based on the Charter. Mr. Terpstra said after discussing this matter with other people who serve on charter commissions, they had the same vein of thought--thaC the Charter Commission, like any other public body, does not have the right to go out and represent what w�s the right of an individusl or people who have agreed to bring a law suit. He stated this was just his opinion and he would like to look at it much more thoroughly. Mr. Sheridan stated that the question had come before the Commission at various times from members of the Commission as to who does some of these things if the Council does not? What they have �said was that maybe the Charter Commission, as a Commission, should be the "watchdog" to see what action the Council has been taking. Ms. McChesney stated that something that wasn't mentioned was that Mayor Nee was very strong about the fact that he was approving the Charter, not with the condition, but with th� understanding, that the Charter Commission would make sure these points were carried through. He was approving the Charter on the faith that the Commission would take some steps, at least to investigate all the possibilities, of being able to carry through with action if the Council did not--in other words, of enforcing it. Mr. Terpstra stated there was no question but that the Commission had the right,and maybe the responsibility, to question the Council and find out why things are not being done. But, there was quite a difference between that kind of co�unication and a law suit. Mr. Ash stated that another idea would be if the Commission did not have this power, what if a councilman would have that power? There are five councilmen and if four are in violation of the Charter, could that one councilman sue? Again, he said, the Charter does not cover this. • Mr. Sheridan stated these are all questions the Commission has had for some time, and they are not looking for an answer from Mr. Terpstra tonight. Mr. Bjerkesett stated that he had been looking at the financial report for 1976. He said it gave the figures from 1973 on up and in "Administration Salaries," there was a 65% increase. His concern was that if there was some way for the Commission to force the Council to act--a budget limitation, for example, which cannot go beyond a certain point, or if they could spell out in the Charter the duties in Administration in more detail. He said his reason for suggesting this was not in terms of criticizing the Couricil, but he was looking for a way to help them do the job, or possibly force them to do the job. What are the legal limitations the Commission can place on their elected public officials? He said this was something thaC would take a lot of work and a lot of time. . � �� -- . . , ' 13 D CEiARTER COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 18 1977 PAGE 5 APPOINTMENT Or A COMMITTEE TO REVIEW CITY CHARTER FOR POSSIBLE CONFLICTS: Mr. Sheridan stated that after they had reworked their Charter, they had agreed with Council that there were probably some areas of conflict still within the Charter. It had been suggested some time ago by members of the Commission that Mr. Sheridan should appoint a 4-6 member committee to see if they could pull these things together and work on them from there in an orderly manner. Mr. Sheridan elected the following members for reviewal of the possible conflicts within the Charter: Charles Langer, Kenneth Brennan, Elaine Knoff, Clifford Ash. He said if this group wished to have more members participate, they were free to do so. Mr. S�eridan stated that the other �committee that was talked about was a co�ittee ' to act as "watchdog" over the City Council and appear at the Council meetings once or twice a month. He said he would like to hold off on appointing this committee untiZ the Commission gets their new appointed members. ' � DISCUSSIQN OF MEETING DATE: Mr. Sheridan stated that at this time they would leave their meeting date as the � third Tuesday of each month. When they have a full Commission again, it can be brought up for discussion again. ' ' -.. ' ' ' ' � � '; Y, V t t OTHER BUSINESS• ' Ms. McChesney stated that she had received a letter from Mayor Nee dated November 24, 1976. Mayor Nee said he was sorry about the delay in responding to Ms. McChesney's letter--that his office had been in a turmoil in a move to new quarters. Mayor Nee said he did not find the copies of the letters requested by the Charter Commission which suggested that he typed them personally at home. Mayor Nee then wrote what he recalled as being his responses to these two letters. He stated he was sorry he could not be more helpful in providing written input, but he would be happy to meeC with the Commission when it was convenient. Mr. Sheridan stated that this letter should become a part of these minutes and copies of Mayor Nee's November 24, 1976, letter should be sent along with these minutes to all the Commission members. ADJOURN1�fENT : MOTION by Clifford Ash, seconded by �harles Langer, to adjourn the meeting at 9:22 p.m. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.

Fridley, Minnesota 55432 RE: Charter Commission Dear Peg: 0 November 24, 1976 a 0 I am sorry about the delay in responding to your letter. My office has been in great turmoil for several months in a move to new quarters--we've been living out of cardboard boxes since August. I do not find copies of the letters you requested. This suggests that • I typed them personally at home. So the best I can do to contribute now is �o.,draw on my recollection. � ',�-� ' ' �;I ' I believe the first letter was when I was a candidate for Ward 3 Councii- member, which would have been in the fall of 1972. The second letter was about a year later after the Commission had circuiated some of the input they had received, and sought comment from the Council. � As I recall, in the first response I made the following points: That I didn't see any real need for Charter revision. There were some minor prob- lems, but I felt they were not serious. If changes were to be made, I would support the position taken by the League ofi ti�omen voters in general. I believe I alluded to the problem we had had with the petition process and the spending iimits. � As I recall the second response, I reacted more strongly to some of the testimony you had received, mainly from former City Manager, Gerald Davis. I gather he had been having some conflicts with the Council concerning encroachment on the h1anager's prerogatives, and had proposed some very stringent sanctions against Council intrusion, which seemed to me to pre- clude effective Council oversight of the administration. ' As I recall, I took a strong position in opposition to the Davis proposals. I think I also expressed some degree of ambivalence on the question of the City At.�orney, and a recapitulation of my concern with the petition process. ' t ' ' �w,�o,y _�, e,� � � U In & W i�` `',Q•�Ttl `�� 0 0 Mrs. James McChesney �� November 24, 1976 I aiso participated in the DFL's ad hoc review committee which provided comment--but I did not support all of their findings and, in fact, voted contrary to their recommendations on several questions. I suspect the most illuminating written material on some of these questions might be found in the City Council Minutes of the several hearings held by the Council in 1975. .

Fridley City Ha.11 Fridley, Minn. 55432 Dear Sirs: I am writing in behalf of my clients, GarJac Con�truction, Inc. It is in reference to the parcel of land on the south side of 76th Ave. N.E., between Old Central and Arthur St. N.E. (plat 53q12 parcel 960). The property is naw in tax forfeit for a delinquency of approxir.tately a�93,609 as of 1975. The base tax and assessments otaed is approximately $55,000; the balance being interest and penalties. The property is now in trust with the state of Minnesota and upon tall�ng to our attorney, the county auditor's office, and city offices, we feel we can purchase the property back from the state, if we can make the purchase price more realistic. This brin�s us to the city fathers to ask for a forgiveness of penalty and interest or a percentage of such, on the special assessments. We also request your influence in backing the same such request on the tax penalties, brought about through the county. In return tive pledge to build 13 hi� quality single famil,y dtivellings, within one year. This will increase the city and county's tax revenue, approximately �11,000 annually. Actually it will be �16,000 as the parcel is now being assessed approximately �5,000 but collecting nothing. Secondly, we will improve the corrmiunity appearance and value. I live next door to the vacant land and I personally feel that this area needs irrrprovement. It is not presently a scenic area but rather a lowland, weeded, rodent infested eye sore. If i� were a wildlife area I?�rould encourage preservation and I encourage any of you to drive by and see ior yourself. Thirdly, we would eliminate expense to the city, county, and state to handle and dispose of the property. The county auction has not been held since the spring of 1974 and has not yet been scheduled--meaning we do not know when disposal will take place. In the meantime continual delinquencies are being added on and not collected. • Our contractor has been building in this area 25 ,years and has an - excellent repu�ation for quality built homes. He projects the 13 dwelling can be corm�leted vri.thin 6 months after your approval. ��te have a quit clai.r.i deed f'rom the previous owners, mentioned only to sho�nz to you good faith and continuous chain of ownership. Thank you very much for your consideration in this matter and please contact me if I have omitted any information you may need in making your decision.

QURESHI, CITY MANAGER JAMES P. HILL, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER/ PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR�� FEBRUARY 14, 1977 CIVIL SERVICE COMARISSION SECRETARY, HELEN TREUENFEL'S REQUEST FOR $100 20 The Fridley Police Civil Service Commission convened at 7:30 P. M. on February 9th, 1977 to hold its annual meeting. One item brought up at the Commission Meeting at the request of outgoing Secretary, Helen Treuenfels, was the request for $100 for compensation as the Commission's Secretary for 1976 through February, 1977. The Commission agreed with the request and I offered to take care of the administrative procedures with respect to acquiring the $100. Minnesota State Statute 419.04 "Commissioners to Serve Without �J'' Pay" states that "each Commissioner shall serve without pay, but the Council may allow the Secretary such compensation, not exceeding $100 per year, as it shall deem commensurate with the additional services rendered by him". Since the intent of the State Statute appears to be that Council determine if this compensation be paid, and the amount, I am hereby requesting, through this memorandum, that the Council give consideration to this request. Thank you for your consideration.

' ' u PASSED AND ADOPTED BY TN E CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY THIS ATTEST : DAY OF � CITY CLERK - MARVIN C. BRUNSELL , 1977. MAYOR - WILLIAM J. NEE 22 r MEMO T0: NASIM QURESHI, CITY fdANAGER FRONf: MARVIN BRUNSELL, ASSISTANT CITY t�1ANAGER/FINANCE DIRECTOR SUBJECT: A BILL RELATING TQ ELECTIONS--PROV�Q1�lG (=0R THE TABULATION AND ANNOUNCEt�tEPJT OF VQTES CAST Of� ELECTRONIC VOTING SYSTEP�S; AhiE�lDING MINNESOTA STATUTES 1976, SECTION 206.185, SUBDI1lISTON 5, I�NQ BY ADDIIdG A SUBDIVISIOid QATE: FEBRUARY 16, i977 The purpose of �his bill �,�ould be to have the ballot cards run through the ca�puter when �hey are brought �Co the County by the judges. After this has been done, all of the problems would be sorted out, the bal- ancing done, the damaged ballots repunched, etc. When this was com- pleted, then the judges would go through the line again and have the ballots counted. . This system may be fine for a city such as Sloomington that has their own computer and they do not have to �rorry about other cities coming in to count their ballots, etc. At Anoka County we have more than enough cong�stion and confusion at ballot counting time now. This would definitely slow do��n the counting time, perhaps by as much as fifty per cent. We just do not have the facilities in Anoka County to carry this out and still get the official ballots in at a reasonable time. It seems tQ me the first �mportance would be to get the official count in as soon as possible. This system would be self-defeating in that it would certainly delay the official count, and with both o►ficial counts and unofficial counts �oing through the system, there would be many times the chance for foul ups or errors occurring. I don't know that anyone would really have a good picture of what was happening any earlier. The computer program would also have to be completely redesigned. � I recommend the City go on record as being in opposition to this Bill. MCB ps 22 A - . . . , . •'..'.,. . • .. • . i ✓� ' , I � , r � � ' �� ' � �� ' COMMENTS ON TWO BILLS REGARDIP�G CHANGES REGAROIPaG ELECTRONIC VOTING The ]st bil] is regarding "preliminary tabulation" - just taking those ballots that aren't defective, and running them through the computer. This really would not be too favorable because: The judges would have to stand in line twice, to get preliminary and final results, the final results coming after getting a preliminary count then repunching any of the defective ballots. There are 6 cities involved with Anoka County Counting Center and a total of�55 precincts. The end results would take much longer with each precinct of each City standing in line twice. The cost wouid be too high a1so. The programming would probably have to be a.ltered which would cost alot more if the computer would even be able to handle both. Costs would be more also because personal involved with the election, judges, clerks, etc. would be on duty for more hours. This would also cause more paper work and time filling out the additional paper work. For example, the final results for the last General Election and those people involved with the counting were not done until 4:00 A.M., it probably would take til 8:00 A.M. if , preliminary results were taken. � Also a good indication of the results is given anyway by those smaller � precincts reporting first. TMe 2nd bill is regarding absentee voting - substituting a punch card rather than the paper bailot which is now used. Notir the judges use the paper ballot that is received from the voter and punch absentee ballot cards them- selves. This could cost additional money on the postage, punching tool,etc. is to be sent out to the voter. However, if the instructions a�ere adequate and explicit it might save the election judges time spent on them the day of the election at the precinct. 22 B , � . . � �.., � .�,.. � , , . . � 22 C � � 1 ? � 3 a . 5 � b 7 � 0 A bill for an act relatin� ta�election�t providing for the tabul:�tion and annauncer.►Pnt of voteS cast �n etectranic voting systemsf amendin5 N=innesota Statuteg 1g74, Sectian 206.185� Subdivision 5, and by addina a subdivisian.

Our License Clerk, Telaine Dimatteo, has suggested that only those non-profit organizations originating in Fridley be exempt from the license fee. I t�ink this is a good suggestion, and I would recommend the City Council change the Code.
