Others ! �< �� r �� MEMORAND UM T0: NASIM QURESHI, CITY MANAGER, AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: MARVIN BRUNSELL, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER/FINANCE DIRECTOR SUBJECT: LICENSING OF CHARTERED VETERANS ORGANIZATIONS FOR SUNDAY LIQUOR SALES QATE: MARCH 25, 1977 Section 606 of the City Code authorizes the licensing of chartered veterans organizations for on-sale liquor sales. This section of the Code makes no provision for the licensing of veterans organizations for Sunday liquor sales. The licensing of private firms for Sunday liquor sales is provided for in Section 603 of the City Code. The City Attorney states that State Statutes would permit the licensing af veterans organizations for Sunday liquor sales if the City's Code was amended to provide for it. There has apparently been some confusion in interpretation of the City Code regarding licensing of veterans organizations for Sunday liquor sales. (See attached letter from Jim Hill dated December 8, 1972.) Sunday licenses have actually been issued in error to chartered veterans organizations. This item is being brought before the City Council at this time so that a determination can be made as to whether or not it is the wish of the Council to provide for the licensing of veterans organizations for Sunday liquor sales. If the Council indicates they are in favor of this, we will draft an appropriate ordinance to amend Section 606 of the City Code.

The amount of such rate reduction was not dis- cussed at the iime. The Council did ask the staff to check further into the matter and report back. In 1976 the water operation earned a profit of $245,924. The profit was higher than could normally be expected due to the dry summer. The Utility Fund also must make certain transfers to other bond funds'for debt service. Th�se bond funds are primarily related to the water operation. In 1976 the sewer operation showed a loss of $68,091. It is expected that losses wil] increase as the bills from the Metropalitan Waste Commission continue to rise, assuming there is no adjustment in sewer rates. NUMBER OF SENIOR CITIZEN HOUSEHOLDS IN TNE CITY IS ESTIhiATED AT 350. We have no completely accurate figure on the number of households containing senior citi2ens; however, the Planning Department pjaces this estimate at 350 households. AVERAGE ANNUAL CONSUMPTION OF SENIOR CITIZENS ESTIMATED AT 90,000 GALLONS PER YEAR VERSUS 130,000 FOR OTHER R-1 HOUSEHOLDS. At the present time we can only estimate the annual consumption of senior citizens as we have no way of knowing which households contain senior citi- zens. The Billing Department does have some idea of their consumption of water as shown below: Average Household Fall 20,000 Winter 20,000 Spring 40,000 Summer 50,000 130,000 Gal. Senior Citizen Household 10,000 10,000 20,000 50,000 90,000 Ga1. BASED ON TNE ABOVE ASSUMPTIONS, IT IS ESTIMATED LOtJERING THE IJATER RATES FOR SENI(1R CITIZENS W011LD COST THE CITY 6 093.50 PER YEAR IN LOST REVENUE, IF SfNIOR CITIZEN tdATER RA1"ES WERE REDUCED THIRTY-FIUE PER CENT (35�). Page 2 Nasim Qureshi, City Manager, and City Council Based on the above estimate of use, the average senior citizen's water bill for the year is now $49.gp If a thirty-f.ive per cent (35%) rate reduction were put into effect, it is estimated their annual water bi11 would be $32.39 per year. Based on 350 households, the cost to the City per year would be �6,093.50 . SEWER RATES FOR ALL R-1 HOUSEHOLDS PRESENTLY ARE $43.00 PER YEAR. The sewer operation is presently losing money. Sewer rates should be ad��usted sometime in the future. If senior citizen homes could be iden�i- fied, and if it was definitely established that their annual consumption of wa�er were less than the average R-1 family, it may be possible to set up a seWarate rate class for senior citizens. However, under law they would have to pay their proportional share of operating the utility systems.

A CITY OF FRI DLEY MEMORAN DUt�I T0: NASIM M. Qt1RESHI, CITY MANAGER FROM: MARVIN C. BRU�dSELI, ASST. CITY f�GR. /FIN. DIE SUBJECT: INFORMATION ON SEidIOR CITIZENS UTILITY RATE: DATE:: JANUARY 11, 1977 �. Attached is the information I have received from the City of Columbia Heights and from the League regarding reduced utility rates for senior citizens. The League has listed those communities in ine State of t4inr�esota that they are a�vare of that have senior citizen rates. There are relatively few cities in the State that have senior citizen rates. Those that do, apparently, have the reduced rates tied to income level. The Ci ty of Col �ambi a Hei ghts a11 ows reduced uti 1 i ty rates for i ncomes belaw $4,000 per year. The people have to apply for the reduced rates and be rece rtifie d eacn year. There would be some extra administrative e�ork and expense in conjunction with this process. We can proc�ram the computer to handie the reduced water rates and there would be no problem }n handling this part of it. The extra expense would be associated with the administrative process.

This long-range improvement plan ensures scheduling of projects on an order(y basis, assists in the most efficient programming of available funds and provides coordination of needed improvements. Each year the Capital tmprovement Program is reviewed and revised to reflect changing community needs and priorities. Improvements are financed with funds from operating revenues, special assessments, community development funds, state aid monies, utility revenues, bonds and #ederal and state grants. • t977 PROGRAM This year's program continues to provide basic public facilities (i.e. streets, utilities) in areas where they have not been previously provided. The challenges to maintain and improve the environment and to maintain the quality of life in St. Louis Park are a(so recognized through projects such as park improvements, landscaping and beautification, street lighting, pedestrian links, bike paths and transit facilities. STREET CONSTRUCTION Residential street im- provement projects are proposed for the areas: west of Lenox School between Minnetonka Boulevard and W.33rd Street; east of Louisiana Avenue between Cedar Lake Road and W. 18th Street; and the area betNreen Minnetonka Boulevard and Highway 7 east of City Hall. Projects are also being proposed in the Lake Street commercial area south of Highway 7 and on Meadow- brook and Powel! Roads. Work to upgrade major intersections and traffic signals along Minnetonka Boule- vard will be done by Hennepin County in 1977. New traffic signals will be installed at Minnetonka Boulevard and Toledo; at Cedar Lake Road and Hampshire; and Highway 12 and Fforida. Construction work to connect Louisiana Avenue between the compteted sections north and south of Highway 7 will com- mence in 1977. �; STORM SEWERS � n , The City-wide storm drainage system (begun in 1962) is now over 95 a com- plete. Storm sewer construction is scheduled in the Bass Lake and High t?/Vernon areas. � \ PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES To improve access to neighborhood and community faci(ities, a pedestrian bridge is proposed over Highway 100 at W. 26th Streei; tne bridge over the Burlington Northern railroad tracks on Cedar Lake Road will be completed this spring; final design specifications are being developed for a pedestrian bridge at Highway 7 and Wooddale. The City's trail sysiem wi!! be expanded in Oak Park Village and along the Cedar Lake Road extension east to Minneapolis. A bike route is proposed from Westwood Junior High School along Zexas and Cedar Lake Road ta the west city lifiits. Sidewalk construction along major thoroughfares is seen as a safety need. Sidewalks are scheduled for: Cedar Lake Road from Zarthan to Hampshire Avenues; Minnetonka Boulevard from Louisiana to Texas Avenue. 1 BUS PlAZAS Constructed through joint efforts of the City and the Metropolitan Transit Com- mission, bus plazas/shelters are scheduled at Cedar Lake Road at Flag; Minnetonka Boulevard at Texas, Louisiana ai Dakota; France Avenue at Excelsior Boulevard. STREET LIGHTING In order to improve lighting levels and quality, as well as provide substantial energy and cost savings, Northern States Power Company has agreed to convert the existing street lighting system along M i nnetonka Boulevard from France Avenue to Highway 100. Existing fluores- cent fixtures will be replaced by the newer sodium vapor type resulting in substantia! operation and maintenance cost savings to the City. The existing fluorescent lighting fixtures on Excelsior Blvd. are proposed to be connected to more energy-efficent and economical sodium vapor units. PARK DEVELOPMENT T" '" ' The City will continue its efforts to develop Bass Lake, Westwood Hills En- vironmental Education Cenier and Minne- haha Creek. The new park at 16th and Jersey will be completed in the spring; other improvements including ptayground equiment, lighting, landscaping and sprinkter systems are proposed in various parks during 1977. o�z �: �� .+.�: • � ♦jQ�� .... _'�a, ;.

This tournament resulted in a net of more than $1,300.00 to help support the Bicentennial activities in the coming months. "We are attempting to involve as manv people as possible in our e�•ents and also encourage self•support of the acti�•ities," said bfrs. VVolfangle. Other fund•raising projects include concessions in Central Park on the Fourth of July, a bridge tournament, sale of pins and stationery plus a second softball tournament in 1976. A 36-year resident of Roseville, William J. Bro«•n of 904 Parker, recently joined the Commission — and his talent and time is going to be shared with all of Roseville. Air. Brown is painting the historic Roseville landmarks and then donating these paintings to Roseville to be placed in the new City Hall. A painting of the Constitution, done earlier in Boston, is also being given to Roseville by bir. Brown. "This man's generosity is overwhelming," said 15ir. Brust- man. "We greatly appreciate his donation of talent ar.d time. We also «•ish to encourage other citizens to come forth with their efforts. Every little bit is going to help make Roseville's Bicentennial year a most memorable occasion for all of us." FOOD, FII\1 .�1l1D FIR��'OR�S FOR TIIE I� OURTS IN RO�EVILLE A big, safe and sane Fourth of Jul�• is being planned by members of RoseviIle's Bicentennial Commission who are coordinating the efforts of several community organizations and the Parks & ,R,ecreation Department. The day's activities will begin with a softball tournament with games being pla��ed throughout the day. Entertainment provided by the Par}:s & Recreation Department will include puppet shows, gymnastic exhibitions, baton twirling, band concerts (both concert and rock) and a singing group. Races will be conducted for all age groups with prizes awarded. They will be held on the Lexington Avenue side of the park between 1 and 2 p.m. There will be games for all age groups — tot through teens. Concession booths will be placed along the "avenue", or bicycle path. Returning to Central Park this year —«�ith plenty of food — will be the North Suburban Evening Lions w•ith their "mobile kitchen". Joining them w•ill be the Central Park On May 19, 1975, the Roseville City Council adopted a new Dog Ordinance which included a number of major changes of interest to all dog owners. Under the revised ordinance, all dog o�vners are reryuired to have their dogs vaccinated against rabies e�•ery tt+•o �•ears. If an owner fails to show proof to the City that his dog has received appropriate shots, the lifetime license issued by Roseville to the o�i�ner will be revoked. The o�vner then would be required to purchase a new license. According to the ordinance, o�vners of dogs presentiy licensed will have until August 1, 1975 to comply w•ith the ne�v requirements. Beginning immediately, all persons pur- chasing new licenses will be required to show proof that their dogs have had the necessary shots. Roseville will notify by mail all dog owners of the necessity for shots. Dogs liust Be On Leash The second major change is the requirement that dogs be on a leash at all times. The only exception being if the dog is on the owner's premises and in the presence of owner. Other pog Ordinance Changes Include 1. Allows a licensed dog found running at large to be returned to its o«•ner rather than requiring it to be impounded. 2. lncrease in lifetime license fees from $5 to $?. 3. Increase in duplicate license fee from $.50 to $1. 4. Increase impounding fee from �5 to $10; and the board charge from �2 to �3 per day. The purpose of Roseville's Dog Ordinance is to provide a means for Rose��ille to maintain effective dog control. The support and cooperation of all citizens is needed.

FRIDLEY The idea began with the Alameda California PTA, — and grew nationwide. The idea, to increase voter participation through spirited, good-humored competi- tion, started in December, 1974, when a group of PTA women assessed the reason for the narrow defeat of a needed school bond issue. They found that less than 50% of the parents of Alameda school children were registered. At that point, they realized that the real preblem was not just in passing school bonds and registering parents. The problem was national voler indifference. For instance, in 1974 only 39% of those Americans old enough to vote came to the polls. The PTA decided to start a voter registration drive. They held fund raisers, includ- — _ ing other groups such as the Jaycees and the League of Women Voters, and spon- sored a"Get-Out-The-Vote" caravan. "Alameda-Vote" claimed credit for a pheno- minal 65% record voter turnout in March, 1975, Alameda City Elections. Soon the Alameda challenge was spreading across the country. The City paper, the "Alameda Star-Times" challenged 500 California editors to get their city's voter registration and turnout higher than Alameda's. Congressman Pete Stark, who represents Alameda, challenged Congressma� Donald Fraser in the Congressional Record. Finally, the Biceniennial Votingest City challenge was spread to cities throughout the country. Fridley has become one of 11 Minnesota cities to accept the challenge from the Alameda Vote '76 Committee to become America's Votingest City by November, 1976.
