Councilman Hamernik felt, with the restrictions they have in the ordinance, there are a very limited number of places where a billboard could go in where the sign compaRy doesn't have to come in for a variance. Councilman Schneider stated, he doesn't have an amendment to propose to the ordinance, but after re-reading the amended ordinance he felt he personally cannot support it.� Ne stated many peo$le put in months of work, including the'Chamber of Comnerce,�the Sign Comnittee, and the Planning�Comnission; and their requirements and requests were virtually ignored. He stated he now sees the same ordinance re-written in a different format. Councilman Schneider stated he concurs with Mr. Harris' remarks and feels they are sidestepping a public hearing where citizens can voice their concern. Councilman Fitzpatrick felt Mr. Harris' point that 19 of the 21 billboards that now exist do not meet the criteria of the ordinance is an argument in favor of Councilman Hamernik's position. Therefore, a variance would be required and it would be easier to deqy the variance than a special�use permit. Councilman fitzpatrick stated he is convinced they have a rather detailed ordinance and d9dn't think there are many places left where they automatically could put up a biTlboard without a variance. Councilwoman Kukowski indicated her only comnent is that�a representative of the Chamber of Comnerce was present when they came up with deleting the special use permit requirement and they agreed with it. She fett Fridley is at a point where they have put on as many controls as they possi67y can. � .'

Councilman Hamernik felt the City does not have the detailed ordinance for other items, which require a special use permit, as they do for the control of billboards. Councilman Schneider felt this ordinance has received a lot of review from Lommissions �and other organizations and to change it further is contrary �o the input received. -Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, indicated he felt it is difficult to visualize all situations; however, if the applicant met all the requirements of the ordinance, the City would have a difficult time to deny a special use permit. Ms. Nancy Jorgenson, representing Naegle Signs, indicated the main reason they do not like the requirement for the special use permit is because of the expense of the permit and the time involved in obtaining the permit which she felt was a hindrance.

Therefore, if the variance is apqroved, it would also be necessary for a special use permit�for the operation of the gas station. '� Mr. Qureshi, City f4anager, stated, when the property to the south develops, it ' is anticipated this would be one of the major intersections. He indicated when the ' original development was proposed, the requirement was that an additional lane be !'' put in to the north to handle the traffic and that access be only from the service � �� . road. � Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, indicated Mr. Sobiech's point was well-taken that the special�use permit exists for the car wash, and if the applicant now wants to establish a gas station, a new permit would be required. Mr. Qureshi suggested the staff work with the owner of the property regarding a� traffic pattern at this location that may require only one entrance off of 73rd and provide some type of wider access off of T.H. =47. He felt they should have a whole picture on what the total use of the property would be and to work with the owner on. a more acceptable traffic pattern. Councilman Hamernik indicated he has a problem with allowing the curb cuts in that area. Mayor Nee indicated he shared Councilman Hamernik's concerns and hoped another alternative could be worked out. Mr. Coddin stated he was willing to work with the City�in this matter.

EQUITY CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, 957 HILLIJIND ROAD N.E.: . � Mr. Sobiech, Public Works Director, stated this is a request by Real Estate 10 to ��, increase the maximum height allowed on an identification sign on Hillwind Road from� � � �� �-. 6.feet to 20 feet above�grade. He stated the Appeals Cormnission heard the request and recomnended the maximum height he increased from 6 feet to 17 feet. He explained . this area is surrounded by residential property and this was the basis of the discussion . on whether the extra� height would be allowed. Councilman Fitzpatrick pointed out, when construction began on this building, it fit well into the residential area and felt now an attempt was being made to appeal to the I-694 traffic. �Councilman Schneider��indicated he had somewhat of a problem with this request in view of the fact the Councit has just considered a si9n ordinance. . Mr. �ick Walsh, representing Real Estate 10, indicated there was a mistake on the location of the sign, and there is only one location on the property suitable for the sign which woutd be west of the building. Mr. Walsh stated the variance is requested from.the 6 foot height in.order to get the sign above ground. He indicated the purpose is to have an illuminated sign to identify the building and indicated they do not wish to put up anything that would detract from this structure. 1 � Councilman Schneider indicated his primary concern is surrounding residential properties. �� . Mr.. Walsh indicated they would like to get the sign out of the ground to a height � accepta6le to the Council. Mayor Nee asked Mr. Walsh if he would be willing to work with Councilman Schneider regarding the positioning of.the sign. Mr. Walsh indicated this would be satisfactory with him and he could meet with Councilman Schneider at any time.� MOTION by Councilman Schneider to table this item to the next meeting on November 74, � }977. � Seconded by Cour�citwoman Kukowski.

He re�uested the sanct.ion of the Coun�il to proceed along this line to devetop this committee to look at thcse issues. Mr. Nill stated, if the Council feels there is a need for financ9n9, there is a new Federal program out which specifical7yaddresses these types of pro9rams. 4e slated funds are available to "service-type" organizations, but rot the City. He emphasized the City should not put any money into it directly, but the citizens and organizations should b? the impetus of this program. Mr. Qureshi> City Manager, stated the reason for the presenta#ion was to expose the Council to the work the City staff has done in this area. He hoped, if the Louncil wished to proceed with such a pro9ram, the City would merety act as a catalyst �in making these programs happen. Mr. Hill stated two memos were prepared and will be submitted to Council for further review�which cover a sumnary of vandalism and a coRenunity crime prevention and an approach for Fridley. Councilwoman Kukowski questioned why there would not be a Council representative on such a committee.

Councilman Schneider felt possibly the Council could review in June or July whether they wished to issue a calendar for 7979, but felt they should proceed with the 1978 calendar. �Mayor Nee felt the question before the Council was whether they wished to participate in the "Wild in Fridley" brochure. ' Mr. Mark Haggerty, President of the Chamber of Commerce,�stated they are looking to hopefully make this an annual type brochure to tie together the conmunity at large in business, cultural and educational endeavors and interest in developing Fridley's natural resources. He stated, on that basis, he would ask that the City allocate � the funds of approximately $2,800�for participation in�the brochure. '�, � Mayor Nee stated he felt�comnunity promotion was a valid reason for this expenditure. �'�. �. Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated,. in the past, the City has participated with groups �� in simitar endeavors; however, he would feel more comfortable if this had been done by the Chamber of Comnerce. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, indicated he felt there wasn't any problem as long as the Council felt.there was a public good to come from the brochure. �' MOTION by Councilman Schneider to support the "Wild in Fridley" brochurr. to the extent ' f ' of 52,855 for postage and a half pa9e ad with provision that the City's ad escrow �.. i agent is Mr. Larry Dobson, as outlined in the City Manager's mano dated November 1, '�.. � 1977.

This grant is to be matched with $50,000 local share raised by the City, other public and private sources. The local share may consist of cash and/or alt eligible in-kind services performed in keeping with the work program. The proposed work program vrill consist of the following items: 1. Construction of a reception center buiTding $110,000 (plans attached) 2. Construction of a parking lot (lst 5tage) 7,000 3. Construction of a foot bridge to Chase Island 64,000 4. Construction of an open air shelter building, fire pit, restrooms, general improvement, general 20,000 clearing and disease trees removal. TOTAL $201,000 In addition to the above items, it should be understood that when the current law is amended to allow for acquisition as it relates to this project, that the Hayes Lots (approximately $53,000) may become part of the acceptable work program. Then we may modify the work program by cutting the parking lot and reducing the bridge construction to maintain the cost of the approved work program to $200,000. You will also find enclosed a copy of Resolution No. 74-1977 requesting the release of the $150,000 grant monies to the City of Fridley. Mr. Bill Atkins -2- November 22, 1977 Hopefully we have provided all necessary information to allow your office to approve this work program, and we will soon be able to move closer to a realization of this unique needed project. When forwarding this material for review by ihe DNR, it would be greatly appreciated if you send it to the attention of Ms. Rita Plourde. She has been closely related to this project in the past and is very familiar with all the aspects of the Islands of Peace efforts. Thank you for your assistance on this project, and if additional material is required, or if there are questions, please do not hesi�ate to contact us. Sincerely, Charles A.

MN.. 65438 [Bt3167�-348D MEMO T0: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: NASIM M. QURESHI, CITY MANAGER DATE: NOVEMBER 4, 1977 SUBJECT: ISLANDS OF PEACE $]5Q,Q00 STATE GRANT OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGEt� � NASIM M. C3URESH3 This year the State Legislature has appropriated $150,000 from their general fund for the Islands of Peace Park in the City of Fridley, subject to a sum of $50,000 being raised by other public or private sources. There are two alternatives that can be considered by the City to avail this grant: ' 1. A sum of $50,000 is either raised by the Islands of Peace Foundation through private contribution or other governmental grants, and then we submit application to receive the $150,000 grant. 2. The City, based on the commitment of the Islands of Peace Foundation, take on the responsiblity of saying that the City will either corrmit $50,000 in money or in-kind services, and then depend on the Islands Peace Foundation and other organizations to come up with the money, or in-kind services, to fulfill the City's commitment. If this is done, the City would be able to receive the money in the next few weeks, and the money would be sitting in the City of Fridley treasury instead of being with the state. This way, the City would be drawing interest on that money, which could potentially be over $]0,000 a year. If the City chooses to follow this alternative, then it should only he done with the understanding that the City would not release the funds unless there has been actual needed matching money received, or a firm written commitment in regard to in-kind services has been received by the City. And if that is done, then and only then, the City would proceed with the release of the money and the execution of the project. As there does not seem to be any time timit when this project has to be completed, the City would not be under pressure to complete the project by a certain date, as far as the grant requirements are concerned. If in due time, money cannot be raised and it becomes advisable to not proceed with the project, the only obligation, as I understand, would be for th° City to return the money back to the state. If the City wishes to proceed with the project and does not wish to commit any local tax money, I feel it is imperative that the City: 1. Should have a detailed plan of how the project can be completed; 2. Have a firm comnitment on how the maintenance of the building and other facilities would be funded by sources other than local tax money; 3. Know what sources are going to be utilized to provide the programming and day to day operation of the facility. ' I feel it is imperative that Council should have firm commitments, especially on the last two items, if the Council does not wish to cormnit any local tax monies, and should have a financial plan of building maintenance, operations and programming before' any money is released from the 9rant.

Minneapalis Central Business District in Fridley. Ft is a group of three islands located 6etween 57th and 61st Avenue N.E. : There are currently 8 sites within a 10 mile r�dius of Fridley'wfiich are also proposea as nat�re centers, or which exist as open space or preserves. These include: Elm Creek, Palmer Lake, North �ark, Grass Lake> Rus� take, Coon Rapids Dam, U.S. Government Arsenal pro�erty, and Bunker Prairie. . None of these facilities ailow the handicapped to move about freely in order to appreciate nature first-hand. The Islands of Peace Park site offers a variety of outdoor experience with irtmediate access to the Region's major water resource. 7he Parks major biome is elm-ash-cottonwood forest. The site abounds with water-related wildlife. For example, in summer, toads, frogs and mud turtles are abundant. The site aTso supports Mallard and Wood �wck, Blue Nerron and a variety of water-oriented songbirds. Regional Service Pr�vided The facility is designed to service the Metropotitan Region's handicapped Ropulation. This facility is open for pu6lic use withont a fee charge. Accessibility The site is in southwestern Fridley. It is served by I.694, Anoka Caunty rl (East River Road} and will also be served by the planned No•rthtown Corridor. In addition, the site is served by an M.T.C. route along East River Road. Use �f Facilities The facility will be open for use throughout the entire year. Activities available ta users include picknicking, camping, fishing and nature interpretation, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. The Park's usefutness as a year-round facility is being increased bY the construction of a shelter building to afford protection and projects to those using the facility. - Islands of Peace Park is designed around the site's natural character and thus provices maximum f]exibility, should Teisure time demands for this Special Recreation Use change in the future use. • Memo to Dick Sobiech from Ray 4eek Page 2 Island of Peace Regional Park November 21, 1977 Use of Existing Facilities The facilities forIslands of Peace Park have been under development since 1975 and are for the most part, completed. No new facilities are planned. Site Compatibility The primarily passive uses to which tbe site will be subjected shall have minimai fnpact on the adjacent scfiool property and surrounding residential uses. Conversely, the surrounding uses should provide minimal noise, glare and traffic intrusion on the proposed site, since Robert Louis Stevenson School acts as a buffer 6etween the site and surrounding uses. • Private Facilities Isiand of Peace Park is unique in the state as a recreational resource designed to 6a totally open to the fiandicapped and disabled. Its uses are not duplicated by any private facility in the region. P�esent Versus Fliture Needs The site itow open to public use is nearing full development. No future acquisition is planned. Citizen Participation The facility is a part of the City's 1976 "PARKS AND OPEN SPACE PLAN" (currently in the process of review). The project is operated by tbe Islands of Peace Foundation, consisting of concerned residents.

SPECIAL 11SE FACILITY Uniqueness of the Facility Spring Brook Nature Center at North Park occupie�s a 124 acre site in northwestern Fridley, which is 6ounded on t6e north 6y Anoka County Road 132, P1ain Street N.E. on the east, the right-of-way for 83rd Avenue on the South, and by the Burlington Norther� tracks on the west. � There are currectly 8 sites wit6in a 10 mile radius of Fridley which are propo;ed as nature interpretive centers, or exist as open space or preserves. These include= E1m Creek, Pa}mer Lake, Island of Peace Park, Grass Lake, Rush Lake, Coon Rapids .. Dam, U.S. Governmertt/.trsenaT {rroperty, and Bunker Prairie. None of these facilities currently include nature interpretive programs. The North Park site provides a wide variety of plant and forest types. The dominant biome types are native prarie and Oak-Aspen forest camplex. The upland p�airie on the west side of the site contain unique and viable populations of native grasses; ie., Big Bluegrass, Cordgrass, Indian Grass, and Wild itye. The transition from prairie to forest occurs in stages and provides a near textbook example of the process of succession. Wildlife abounds on the site. The stream and beaver pond are alive with minerals, crawfish. In summer toads, frogs and mud turtles are abundant. The site also provides a habitat for Mallard and 4lood Duck,.6lue Herron, Night and �reen Herons, Kingfishes, Red-winged :Blackbirds and a variety of water-oriented songbirds. In addition, the site supports an active beaver colony, and there are signs of weasel, mink, muskrat and raccoon. The geology of the North Park site is a reflection of the Anoka sand plain. Regional Service Provided The Springbrook Nature Center at North Park wouid serve Metropo]itan Area Sectors 2 and 3. There are no plans to establish a fee structure for the use of this facility. Accessibility The site praposed is in the north��iestern eorner of fridley. A 1974 study done for the City by Brauer and Associates, considered several' alternative sites for a nature center in Fridley, including Yu'<on Park, Locke Nouse, Anoka County Airpart, Coon Creek, Bunker Park, Coon Dam and Rice Creek. The report concluded that these were unacceptable as alternative sites. �. The praposed regional special use facility is served by Anoka County Road #i and Minnesota Trunk Highway �47, which connect vrith I.694. �-� t�lemo tu Dick Sobiech from Ray Leek Page 2 November 21, 1977 Sprinqbrook Park for Re§ional Special Use fridley is served by 2 MTC bus routes wfiich affect the site; running up East River Road and Universiiy Avenues.

CITY OF FRIDLEY 8431 UNIVERSITY AVENUE N.E., FRIOI.EY, MINNESOTA b6432 TELEPHONE ( 812)571-9450� DRAFT PROPOSAL Cable Television Bureau . Federal Communications Commission Washington, D. C. 20054 Gentlemen: Recently we have had occasion to review the documents relating to the CATV Franchise issued by the City of Fridley to General Te7evision, Inc. of Minnesota. We find that the City Council holding office in the year 1974 sent you a letter on April 22, 1974 stating that the City would not attempt to enforce certain provisions of the Franchise Ordinance. Such a position appears to constitute or approach "Nonfeasance in Office", which in the City of Fridley is grounds for removal from public office. Therefore, we wish to advise you that the Council of 1977 does not agree with the findings of the Council of 1974, and does, with this notice, revoke the commitments made in the letter of April 24, 1974, a copy of which is attached. We want to advise you also, that there is no issue involving the Sections in question; no enforcement action contemplated either now or in the forseeable future. We do, however, find our position as represented in the original letter untenable, and that we must assert our right to the full enforcement of the ordinances of the City of Fridley. Transmittal of this letter is ordered by the fridley City Councit. Sincerely, Wiltiam J. Nee Mayor WJN/ms Enc: Letter of April 22, 1974 to FCC 5 �,.. ► � MEF10 T0: MAYOR AtID CITY COUNCIL FfEMO FROi4: IN1RK SCOTT, CHAIRMAN, CATV COMMISSION" MEMO DATE: NOVEFIBER 16, 1977 RE: .PP.O'tOTING PUBLIC ACCESS IN FRIDLEY '• The City of Fridley has supported the use of cable television for public access since the beginning of cable in fridley. For this reason, a motion o�as passed at the Cable Commission meeting on October 27, 1977 to help support and promote cable "MOTION by Brennan, seconded by Kaspszak, that the Chairman of this Comnission draft a letter to the City Council explaining paragraph 60 of the.latest FCC Order and its implications for public access in Fridley, and requesting the Council to direct the City staff to reserve two percent — of the franchise fee fior the development of public access cable comnunica- tions in the City of Fridley. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously." The Corrmission fells the City can provide this support by using guidelines outlined in the REPOP.T AND ORDER adopted by the Federal Cor.raunication Commission July 22, 1977, and released September 30, 1477. In this report, paragraph b0 refers to using part of the 5% cable revenue fee to "fund public access." This amount to be used is "that portion of a franchise fee exceeding the 3% limit." - ' PARAGRAPH 60. 5 F� With respect to the justifications we wiSZ accept for aZlowing the maxim�m 5� fee, and in response to the nnmerous pub2ic comments arguing fcr an increase to the numerous pubIic access prograimrcing, we must refer to our discussion oi this raatter at paragraph 129 of the CZarification, suprae In Conplete Channel TV, Ina. (hladison, Ilisconsin), Mineo No. 54591, 23 RR 2d 2372 (1975), we treated a we21-reasoned access service package experiiaent as a contractaal question Zeft of the discretion of the franchisor and franchisee, limited onSg by our requirements fhat the fee not be excessive and that the plan couid benefit a1S cable users. ' SimiIarly, in Open Channel, FCC 75-1344, 58 FCC 2d I216 (2975), which cited Comp2ete Chan^el TV, supra, �ae further clarified ovr position by enumerating various safeguards which the proposa2 must contain in order for us to approve the use of franchise fees above the 3� 2imit for public access purposes. Thereir:, we expressed as ovr prirrary concern that there be sufficient safeguards against government censorship, a probZem which we considered inherent in government funding of pub2ic access facilities. Based on the concerns in the public interest, c�+rpnenters that usinq franchise fees is essential to encoarage, develop, and insure a saccess€uZ access program, are intend to a21ow the use of that portion of a franch' fee exceeding the 3� 1ir:ut to fund pub2ic access in circumstances which are reasonat: justified, without departing from our insistence on the safeguards enumerated in ou; past decisions. The reserving of these funds are necessary if public access is to grow in Fridiey. MS/de �' ORDINANCE N0. AN ORDINANCG AMENDING CHAPTGR 405 OF 711E �RIDLEY CITY COI1E, ENTITLED �.

REGULAR MEE7ING OF SEPTEMBER 12, 1977 , 171 PAGE 5 CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FOR VAP,i0.NCES TO ALlO'A COPlSTRUCTION OF A 7-17 STORE AT 899 EAST RlVER ROAD R.C.E. LORPO�tATI0P1 TA6lED 4-18-77 : . Mr. Tom Colbert, Assistant City Engineer, explained the �equests for variances to allow construction oF a 7-Eleven Store at 7899 East River Road. He explained the item aas tabled on Aprit 18, 1977 in order Lo allow the developer time to meet with the County regarding possible signalization at the intersecYion of the proposed 7-Eleven Store. Mr. Colbert stated the City received a request from the petitioner, Mr. Ernst, to be placed on the Council agenda far this evening. Mr. Ernst appeared before the Council and explained they have looked into the possibitity of rezaning the property in question to C-7 which would a7leviate the need for a variance from th= public ri9ht-of-way; etiminate the variance for a 20 foot setback; and.eliminate the 50 foot setback from a comnon boundary line, as previously requested. Mr. Ernest explained, with a C-i zone, only two variances aould be required. One being a variance of Lhe side yard setback from 75 feet 'to 70 feet and the other 6eing a variance of the rear yard setback from 25 feet to 20 feet. Ne stated they have explored the possibility of otrtainirtg an easement from the apartment to the South and have a letter from the owner expressing the tnability to graM such an easement. Mr. Colbert explained part of the original stipu7ations was the establishment of a deceleration lane to County standards. Mr. Ernst stated they are willing to construct a deceleration lane. Councilman Fitzpatrlck felt the real issue is the entrance off East River Road, and didn't feel there Nas a problem with the variances since they wili be requestin9 rezaning to C-L Mr. Coibert stated, in discussirtg a temporary nedian on East River Road, the County fett to place a three ta four foot median without any future road development aould create mure af a hazard than having persons attemptin9 to make an illegal turn. The staff suggested, as far as the traffic pattern is concerned, the ingress, as it is proposed couid be allowed with the idea that the i�t°rsection will be improved in -the near future or it co�id be approved with the stipulation that no ingress be altowed until the intersection modification took placa. The staff felt, if direction is received from the Council, program scheduling could begin with the project being compteted within the next few years. Nrs. Yirginia Carlson, 231 79th Way, stated there was some discussion at the last meeting about using 79th. She indicated she did not want any traffic from this � develo�ttnenE on 79th. Sne stated she was against commerical development on that corner and felt it would downgrade the value of her property. Mr. Qureshi felt the improve- nents of the intersection would 6e in two stages; first, the construction�of the ehannelization of theintersection and second, the signalization. Mr. Colbert then presented a drawing showing the proposed improvement of the inter- section. This would atlow a right turn lane into Meadowrun Apartments, but no exit. fAwttilman Fitzpatritk pointed out this proposal still exits onto 79th. He fett if there is to be ingress to this property from East River Road, you have to look at a substantial improvement. Nr. Colbert felt the Council would want the ingress to be more defirted and with appropriate signing, he felt it could be handled effectively. Nr. Ernst stated they are witling to study this approach with the Engineering Department apd vrould install the proper siqning to indicate thaL traffic not exit from that p�rticu)ar entrance. Mr. LolDert stated, if ingress was allowed off East River Road, it would fit in with the modification plan. ' � B �'�,�: i i � ., ;� t REW1lAR MEETIPIG OF SEPTEMBfR 12, 1977 PA6E b ; 6 C Councilman fitzDatrick felt the petitior,er should continue to work with the City , G and initiate the rezoning request for C-L MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick for the petitioner to continue to work with the City regarding the ingress and egress and to initiate the rezoning request for�C-1 which would elimi�ate the need for some of the variances requested in the past. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all vating aye, Mayor flee deltared the motion carried unanimously. NEW BUSTNESS• touncilwoman Kukowski felt the ordinance was not acceptable as to what her thoughts were, in terms of cos4s to the City, in comparison ta the proposed amendment. She felt there should be some middle ground. ' Councilman Namernik concurred with Councilwoman Kukowski's camments. He felt the amount of paperwork could be minimized and thereby, minimize the cost of the licettse. Councilman Fitzpatrick felt with the 15q of the gross receipts to lawful purposes, they still have an obligation to look at the other 85�. Councilman Schneider felt a certain percentage of the gross receipts, possibily 5%, should be for local charitable contributions, and this should be noted in the o�dinance. Councilman Hamernik felt the fees should be re-evaluated. Mr. Brunsell> City Clerk, stated they could take another iook at them, however, � if the City is going to audit everything, the fees are not enough. MOTION by Councilwoman Kukowski to table this item. Seconded by Councilman Hanernik. Upon a voice vote, ail voting aye, Mayor Nee delcared the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Colbert, F>sistant City�Eng;neer, s;afe ��ffiz FTnning Gomnission recorrsnended - approval of this request for a special use permit for a school of gymnastics and exercise in an M-2 zone. He exolained the reason for the request is that this type of a warehouse building is needed in order ta accarmodate the gymnastic equip- ment. He stated, if the Council recortmends approval of the request, the special use permit should be issued to the property with direction being given to staff to define the area of the special use permit in relation to the entire building. Mr. Colbert stated, as of this date, the buitding is s±i71 under construction and Ms. Zak has not signed the lease. Ms. Zak appeared before the Council regarding her request for a special use permit. � _ Councilman Namernik questioned the space she would occupy in the warehouse building. Ms. Zak stated she would be teasing one of the small bays nearest Main Street. the size being 30 x 34 feet. 1•ts. Zak stated she would like to move into one of the larger bays at some future date. - Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, felt if Ms. Zak Has going to expand, it would be reason- able to have her come in with a request at the time of expansion. Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, felt it would have to come as a modification to the special use permit, if the location in the building changed.

Mr. Ash stated that he had no report. 2. REPORT OF NOMINATING COFIIrZTTEE 3. Mr• Langer announced the following siate of offic,ers in his report from the Nominating Committee: Chairman: Ray Sheridan; Vice Chairman: Clifford •ASh; Secretary-Treasurer: Elair.e Knoff. Mr, Langer stated that the Nomi.nat- ing Commi.ttee chose not to pick two names for each office. Mr. Sheridan asked recording secretary to convey to Ms. Ewenson that notices of annual election must be sent out by Oct. 25 to all members in accordance with by-laws, along with meeting notice for November 15 meet- ing, and he suggested that agenda £or this meeting could be mailed at a later date. - --- u na �.v�rx:1L AUGUST j.5 �],977 Mr. Sheridan asked for comments on this Ordinance. Mr, Brennan asked for clarification of "reasonable defense costs" in last sentence of Sect. 30.60. Iir• Langer stated that this was acceptable language because "reasonable" has to be interpreted in terms of what is reasonab7.e at the time, with elements of length of trial and applicable lawyer fees at the time being variable determining factors, a : i CNIIRTER COMMISSION MEETING, October 18, 1977 Pa e 3. 4. NE47 SIIS2NE55 Mr. Sheridan called to attention of Co�aission members discussion on page 3 of the Commission F�ork session of September 20, wherein Mr. Ash posed guestion of Messrs. Starwalt and Hreider as to whether they, as ex-Council members, felt Commission should act as a"watch- dog" of the Council. Mr. Sheridan stated he did not know if that role can or should be assumed by the Charter Commission, stating such a proposal would need some additional work by Commission members. Mr. Swanson asked if there is any formal communication procedure between Commission and Council? He indicated that he did not feel comfortable with connotation of the word "watchdog," Mr. Sheridan answered that he did not believe there is a formal com� munication process, except when, for example, Council finds there is a problem in administerir.g provisions of Charter, and they then bring such problesn to the attention of the Charter Commission. He said he did not believe there are any statutes that require the Commission to communicate with the Council, or vice versa. He stated that the Council, at one time when they had some question on technicalities, asked for Conmission miautes, but he indicatad to Council the minutes could not be released to thesn until such time as they had been approved by the following Charter Co�ission meeting. Mr. Ash said there had been several occasions when the Council came to Commission meetings; also several occasions when the City Administra- tion and civic groups sat in on Commission meetings when changes in the Charter were being made, the outcome being the changes in the Charter which were approved last January. Mr. Sheridan suggested it might be well if Coa¢nission periodically were tv review what they have accomplished and send a synopsis to the Council, and perhaps also on occasion ask the� if there are any areas Council might wish Coimnission to look at. Mr. Ash reviewed concern Mayor Nee had related to Mr. Sheridan and him regarding cases in the past where a group of individuals had circul- ated a petition and presented it to Council and the Covncil did not accept or act on it -- then Mayor Nee felt that the only recourse left to the individuals petitioning was to sue. Mayor Nee had expressed opittion, Mr, Ash said, that this type of action is not faiz, when it . is clearly stated in the Charter that Council will either accept or �eject a petition, and he had indicated he felt there should be a means foi individuals to force Council to action without having to take legal $tePs• Mr. Ash said he and bir. Sheridan had assured Mayor Nee that, as fiembers of the Charter Coimnission, they vrould take a look at this, and it has subsequently been discussed at length over the past couple of years. . ., : CHARTf•.'R COMtQISSION MEETING, October 18 pa e 4 Mr. Sheridan said that John Terpstra also had looked into above subject of whether Commission could intervene for petitioners in such cases, and he said as he resnembered, it was Mr. Terpstra's opinion that they could not, but that perhaps, with Council approval, something could be drafted along those lines. Mr. Sheridan proposed that after election of officers at the next meeting that the presiding officer would then set some timetables for things discussed in past that should be reviewed, and then set up some committees. He continued that he knew of nothing urgent that would need to be done by the first of the year, but there are a couple of things that he said needed correction. He cited Section 205, "Vacancies on the Council" saying there should be some clarification of that Section. Mr. Sheridan asked new members if they had received a lot of background material on the Charter Commission and they indicated they had received some. It was agreed that the follawing material should be provided, one copy per each new member, if they did not already have this: state statutes, by-laws and Charter. Also, Mr. Sheridan felt it would be useful for each member of the Commission to have a copy of each of the following: League of i•SUnicipalities model charter, and copies of charters of.metropolitan communities that the City of Fridley has a working relationship with. Dorothy Evenson will be asked to provide the above listed materials to Co7c¢nission mer.ibers as outlined� (Copies attached).

AI'PR�VE CABLE COMMISSION MINUTES, Au st 31, 1977 MOTZON by Dunn to approve CATV Commission minutes of August 31, 1977 as sub- mitted; seconded by Srennan and upon a voice vote, all voting aye, motion passed unanimously. - ----- �_.., .•���vurs;s, september 14, 1977 MOTION by Rrennan, seconded by Dunn, to approve CATV COMMISSION special meeting minutes of September 14, 1977 as submitted; upon a voice vote, all voting aye, motion passed unanimously. I. OLD BUSINESS A. Renort on Access Studv - Proposed Outline Blake Balzart, City of Fridley Coicuounications Aide, was asked by Scott to brinq ti�e Commission up to date on the access study. Mr, galzart read his report to the Commission (copy attached here�vith), which revealed a need to promote and stimuZate areater interest in the community in public access, and indicating that it is important that it meet the needs of all the various seg- ments of the City. His report outlined need for training in use of equipment by publia access workshops, suggesting a"public access" open night should be reestahlished with "hands-on" training. In reviewing access ctudy by Bloom3.ngton, he indicated that pretty much reported therein holds true for Frid2ey alsoi although their recommended budget of $10 - 20,000 may be unreal- fstic for Fridley, he did indicate that in order to get public access qoinq it would be necessary to allocate more money to that budget. Mr, Balzart said he wrote abaut public access in the last Newsletter, with the purpose of the article being to stimulate public interest in potential of public access. Mr. Brennan complimented rtr, Balzart on his report. Mr, galzart stated there had not been a great deal of response to the repor[, and said it may be necessary to use another approach -- erennan•stated he felt that "hands-on" experience seems to be the best approach. 9R CATV Coimnfssion Meetinq - cont'd. Pa e 2 Scott stated that most of the work outlined in access study plan has not been completed. He said workshop now has non-profit status, and that papers are in the works for a tax exempt status. He continued that the question before Co�nission now is: "DO we want to finish study -- are we of belief that access is needed for Fridley?" t�bravitz told the Commission that there is $10,000 in public information division of the City budget, and expressed thought that perhaps once the rnmnunications workshop receives its tax exempt status that work can proceed. Brennan said that Douglas Hedin has the papers requesting tax exempt status and is working at getting these through. Moravitz expressed feeling that there should be an attempt to get more people interested in workshop with hands-on experience for educating public, and � after workshop gets off the ground, then perhaps a strong attempt should be made to complete thoroughly comprehensive access study. Scotb suggested that at least a part-time coordinator would be needed to get the work organized and Moravitz said that hopefully that is something Mr. Balzart could be working into. Brennan stated that in his own experience at workshop he had attended they felt need for an editing machine and porte pack; with that capability, he said, there will be more interest in continuing workshop. Scott stated that an editing machine runs about $2500, and Moravitz suggested that might be an item £or possible encumbrance in 1978 budget. Mr. Kaspszak expressed strong feeling that tax exempt status in this type of venture is most important, and Brennan indicated that he, too, falt this to be true in long run for what is envisioned. Moravitz stated he vrould give Douglas Hedin a call tomorrow to see what progress fs being made on those papers. Ms. Davis mentioned that Peter Randolph helped Bloomington get their tax exempt status through in eight days. He is with the State Cable Commission. Mr. Kaspszak asked Mr. Hungerford how much the company would bill the City for use of equipment. Mr. Hungerford responded that he wasn't sure, but it would probably be arranged with the understanding that if anything happens to the equipment the City would have to stand cost of repair, and also that they t'rould be responsible for maintenance so long as they use it. Mr. Kaspszak asked how many hours per week or per day would Mr. Balzart be made available to work on this. Maravitz replied that there had not been a con¢nitment from City in terms of number of hours -- that a letter was sent to City askinq for time and talent to coordinate public access facilities. City hired a communications aide, who is Mr. Balzart. He has other duties, such as newsletter, weekly radio show, etc, but hopefully, if he could be kept busy on workshop and public access, Moravitz said, that would take up a good part of his time, and City would then nse him on ot}�er thinqs if he liad time left over. He stated that Mr. Balzart comes w�th extensive experience, including prior ex- perience working with Channel 2. �� CATf/ Commissian Meeting - cont'd. Pa e 3 MOTION by Kaspszak that Commission direct Mr. Balzart to conta ct Douglas,Hedin and ask him how the matter of gaining tax exempt status for Anoka County work- shop is progressinq; if he can determine a date when this can be reasonably eompleted; and that Mr. Balzart report back for Commission November meeting; Eurther, that Mr. Balzart offer whatever assistance Mr, Hedin may need, and that he help expedite with State Cable Cormnission. Motion seconded by 8landing. Motion did not come to a vote -- discussion followed. Dunn asked if there had been a response from City to letter, or should letter be sent to City Manager asking how Mr, Balzart may be utilized? Moravitz , stated that original letter was addressed to City Council and that as far as he knew, Mr. Balzart was to start attending Commission meetings, and when co�mnunications workshop gets off the ground, he is to coordinate all efforts between City, community organizations, schools, public etc. to bring all ideas on access workshop to a common goal. Scott asked if they felt the formal motion of Kaspszak's was then needed, or can Mr, Balzart go ahead and call Doughlas Hedin, rather than writing more letters on the subject, which he felt would appear to be asking City for a second approval. After some discussion, it was generally felt that a formal twtion was not needed for ;.his action and Kaspszak's motion was not passed. Messrs. Kaspszak and Dunn expressed feeling that tax exempt status should be expedited because thep would have to mo�>e rapidly to be included in 1978 budgets. Scott indicated that unless there is further discussion on this, Mr. Balzart will be put first on agenda £or November to give a report on what has been accomplished in the interim. B. Report by Ed Dunn on League of Cable Commissions Dunn reported that he had met with Anne Davis in July to discuss possibility of doing sonething about a league on a statewide level. After detailed discussions of purpose of such a league, organizational structure, whether there should be by-laws, etc. they concluded they should talk to some other Cable commissions and develop a steering committee. Quite a few commun- ities, bunn said, have citizens advisory committees, some in name only, some temporary, some permanent, some with franchise up for renewal. Dunn stated that this matter could be pursued and a letter sent to advisory committees to see if they would be receiptive to getting together for steering coimnittee for a statewide workshop. State Cable has talked about a meeting next spring, he said, and one of the conclusions they arrived at in'July was that an attempt should be made to establish a committee, and if ona is established, then some- one from this Coimnission would probablp have to get the ball rolling. If Commission is interested, Dunn said, he would be willing to offer his services to attempt to establish a steering committee. - cont'a. 9C r1s. Davis said State Cable Co�mnission dtd sead out a newsletter giving information about conference February 23 - 25, 1978 and that followup 'indicated need for an advisoxy body. She stated they would like this subject to be one of the workiag groups at the conference and asked if this Commission would like to handle that workshop session? Scott stated that he considered it important, and since Dunn had volunteered, he would like to see this effort continued. Dunn asked to use City stationery for co�aunications that would go out on this subject. t�fOTION by Brennan that Ed Dunn continue his efforts on the league of municipal advisory bodies, with the full support of the Fridley CATV Commi.ssion. Motion seconded by Blanding, and upon a voice vote, all voting aye, motion passed unanimously. C. Budget Report Moravetz reported that the un£inalized proposed budget for 1978 stands at $6801. He said he believed it is pretty well established for personal services so that figure can be considered fairly firm. He said the thing to:.do now would be to encumber some of the money from the 1977 budget for 1978 but to do this specific items must be indicated, i.e. r.ot just cable TV equip- ment per se, but specifically £or an editing machine to be used tor public access, with model number, etc. Scott asked how much money r�ill be left by end of the year, and N,oravetz replied that there would be right around $2,000 to possibly $2500. At this point then, Scott said, Iooking ahead and saying we would probab2y meet again in December,.would it be in order to make a motion to enc�miber £unds for video production aquipment and ask that Mr. Balzart look into some models and costs, with recommendations to be brought back to Commission November meeting? Moravetz stated that would not ensure encumbrance, but at least it wuuld get "foot in the door." Srennan stated he felt Messrs Scott and Balzart should work together on this. I70TION by Brennan that Commission ask City staff to supply them with model aumHers and figures on the cost of video equipment, with a report on haw this equipment would interface with City, library and GTV video equipment, for which Commission may see fit to recoimnend encumbrance of funds. Motion seconded by 1Caspszak and upon a voice vote, all voting aye, motion passed unanimously. a 9D CATV Commission Meeting - cont'd. Page 5. II. NEW BUSINESS A. GTV Financial Report Mora�etz stated he has an update on financial report of GTV, saying that it follows basically format used last year, itemizing revenues, except fn past it has been bro�en down betrieen regular and Cinema III, or home box office subscribers, and this time converter rental was added, so it seems more complete in breakdown than in the past. He indicated that he did not believe Marv Brunzell would have any problems with the report as presented, if Commission does not. NHITION by Brennan to receive financial report from General Television; �tion seconded by Scott. Upon a voice vote, motion passed, with Kaspszak voicing opposition. _ Scott asked Kaspszak if he would like to add a statement to his oppos- ition vote, and he responsed in the negative. Moravetz called attention to monthly service charge, not to exceed $8.00, and said he did not see a breakdown of $5.50 for service and $2.00 for converter. He questioned whether City should perhaps get five percent on $32,000 also. Brennan indicated he agreed with that thiril:ing. tfloravetz asked Mr. Hungerford abaut this, and he replied that he would have to look into ic. Scott said he thought Marvin Brunsell should look into this -- that Moravetz is going to talk to riarvin Brunsell about it, and Mr. Hungerford is going to check on the converter rental, so should be able to have this matter cleared up by middle of next week. MOTION by Dunn that Marvin Brunzell be requested to review the $32,515 £igure in the finantrial report of GTV. Motion seconded by Blanding, and upon a voice vote, all voting "aye", motion passed unanimously. Scott stated that in rules and order just down from FCC tl:ere was some point about 2 percent being used for supporting access programning —]ie asked Ms. Davis if that were correct? She replied that she was not sure, not having read it thoroughly, and suggested he check with John Walkmeyer. Brennan stated that would be his understanding. Srennan then read page 25 of the handout from Douglas Hedin, last three lines of paragraph 60 "Based on the concerns of the gublic fnterest coimnentators that using franchise fees is essential to encourage, develop and ensure successful access programming, we intend to allow the use of that portion of the franchise fee exceeding the three percent limit to fund public access in circumstances which are reasonably justified, but do not depart from our insistence on the safeguards enumerated in our past decisions..." MOTION�by Brennan that Chairman of this Commission draft a letter to the City Council explaining paragraph GO of the latest FCC Order and its implications for public.access in Pridley and requesting the Council to direct the City staff to reserve two percent of the franchise fee for the development of public access cable communications in the City of Fridley. Dtotion seconded by Kaspszak and upon a voice vote, all voting aye, motion passed unanimously. 9E - cont'a 8. GTV Technical Report, dated September 28, 1977 submitted,by � C}IlBf Techniria.� r,,.. �cl__t___ . . MOTION by Brennan to receive report from GTV as submitted by Chief Tech- nician Stechman and to reguest that Mr, iiungerford commend Mr. Stechman for the quality of format in this report. Motion seconded by Blanding, and upon a voice vote, all voting aye, motion passed unani.mously. C. Public Hearin November 14 1977 Updating those who were not at the meeting of the Council, Scott said the Council has approved the entire package of ordinance changes sub- mitted aad has set November 14, 1977 for a public hearing. He added that this does not mean that the ordinance changes are a"shoe-in" and asked that all members of Commission who can possibly make it should plan to be at that hearing to show Commission support. Moravetz stated that last week's Fridley paper there was a notice of that public hearing, with everything itemi.zed indicating deletions and additions of ordinance changes. Scott asked Mr, Hungerford if there were any update on happenings at GTV? Mr. Hungerford replied that they had finally gotten Atlanta. Kaspszak asked how GTV is progressing on installation of home box office? 1�ir. FLungerford replied that HBO has policy that'it can't go in where there is a whole bunch of people who watch it. Kaspszak said he understood it was going into Radisson and Mr. Hungerford said there it would be paid for by individua2s in their rooms. Scott announced that Commission has been asked to get all disclosure sheets in and Moravetz asked if they have not already been mailed to Marvin Brunzell, that they please do so. Scott asked Anne Davis if she had anything she would like to announce? Ms. Davis said that a couple of weeks back a public meeting notice was sent out on line extension and that there was very little comment from citizens groups. She said even though public hearing meeting has come and gone, the Board is still open to public comment from both the industry and citizen groups, so if anyone would like to comment on line extension, Board aill be glad to receive their comments. Questions you may address yourselE to are: 1• Are there any areas of your city that are not served and would like to be served? 2. Are areas outside your City that are asking to be served but cannot? 3. Are there any areas that are being served that are not under , franchise riqht now? Scott stated that he didn't believe that. cable TV Fridley would fall into line of any of those questions except possibly listing co�mnuni.ties around who have shown interest. - - ��•���=�5�vn raeecin - cont'd Pa e 7. Ms. Davis mentioned their ttewsletter -- first issue went out addressed to one municipal and one citizen advisory person. If other people would like to be put on the mailing list, you may call their office, she said. An insert sheet was included in first issue asking for information for Board meeting on November 4, and next newsletter will come about end of November and in there there will be a definite registration sheet wherein you may sign up for conference in February -- she stated that she would like to get some indication from Commission members tonight whether they will plan to come to the February conference. Scott answered that he thought all Commission members would attend. III. OTHER BUSINESS Scott stated that next meeting will probably consist of approving a report from Mr. Balzart on his recommendations for equipment for en- cumbering funds with possibly a report on organization he has done on workshop, so he anticipated it will be a short meetinq and could be held early. A. Date of NEx± Meetin : November 17, 5:30 p,m, ADJOURN6SENT � MOTION by Brennan, seconded by Kaspszak, for meeting adjournment. Upon a vaice vote, all voting aye, meeting adjourned at 9:20 p.m., Res ectEully submitted, � Verna Dt.�C,���- RecoY�ng Secretary Attach (1) � 9F CONSIDERATION OF REGIONAL SPECIAL USE APPLICATION FOR ISLANDS OF PEACE AND NORTH PARK (This material will be available at the meeting on Monday) 10 11 MEMO T0: MEMO RROM; MEMO DATE: MEMO SUBJECT: Mr. Qureshi, City Manager Robert Hughes, Fire Chief November 4, 1977 Possibility of selling Engine 1 Recently I have had communication from two rural comnunities, asking if the City of Fridley would consider selling Engine 1. Engine 1 is a 500 gallon per minnte pumper. We purchase it in 1951, at a c�st of approximately $7,500.00. My recomnendation is that we sell Engine 1 and Ladder 4, and replace them with a newer piece of equipment. Ladder 4 is a 1943 Seagraves, 750 galton per minute pumper. It is almost impossible to obtain parts for the Seagraves. I checked witt�Insurance Rating Bureau, and it would not effect our Class 5 rating if we sold Engine 1. I expect we would be able to obtain $5,000.00 for Engine 1. Engine 1 and Ladder 4 are reserve apparatus. � �� � ��� P��G�� �i�'�� ,, . ; ,.. ? A'; Csty of FridBey a, z9;� SUBJECT snowmobilinq Areas iVithin the City ci �����YO������\■ As you are aware, the Ordinance passed in April of 1977 for all practical purposes limits snowmobiling to individual's private property, or property which is publicly or privately owned with permission from the landowner. With this in mind, the Parks and t2ecreation Conunission, at their Septe_mber 26th meeting, unanimously voted not to designate any snowmobile areas within the limits of the City. As per your request, you will find attached a map outlining Moore Lake with possible entrances to Moore Lake marked in red. However, I should caution you that I have discussed use of the West side of Pioore Lake with parking in the Fridley Junior High parking lot and crossing the street to the lake itself with our Public Safety Director. It is his recor.rcnendation that we think seriously before creating a possible traffic hazard. I would also mention the possibility of damage to this property by snowmobiles and the cost of repair of such damage. We must also be concerned with the school's feelings toward utilization of their parking lot by the general public. On the East side of tioore Lake, you are aware of our aeration system which keeps two large areas of open water throughout the winter. We also have an ice skating rink loCated in relationship to our bathing house and, therefore, I would certainly recommend that the Counci2 not approve snowmobiling on East Moore Lake. Although we are conscioLS of the desire for snowmobiling, I do believe that the time has come that the citizens must realize that the very limited open space available in Fridley is really not•practical for this type of activity. If I may be of additional help, please call me.

QURESHI, CITY MANAGER, AND CITY COUNCIL fROM: MARVIN C. BRUNSELL, ASST. CITY M�R./FIN. DIR. SUBJ�CT: SALE OF LOTS 43 AND 44, BLOCK 12, SPRIN6 BROOK PARK ADDITION �ATE: NOVEMBER 17, 1977 Please see the attached letter from Gary Anderson offering to purchase Tots 43 and 44, Block 14, Spring Brook Park Addition, and the letter from Richard SobiecM stating the Public Works Department has no need for the property for the purpose it was originally purchased for. The property in question was purchased by the Public Utility Fund as a well site. Also, attached is Section 12.06 of the City Charter relating to the sale of real property. I believe the correct procedure for the City Council to follow would be to declare the property surplus. We will then offer the property for sale to the highest bidder. 5ealed bids would be obtained at some future date. We would advertise the property for sale, and also put a sign on the property notifying people that the property will be put up for sale. All interested people would then have a chance to bid on the property. This procedure would undoubtedly take some time. If the Council is agreeable with the general procedure, we will set up the bid opening in accordance with the time requirement relating to advertising in the paper and by sign. The other question is financing. The bidder could submit a good faith check in the amount of ten percent of the bid, and be given ninety days to arrange their own financing. The City cou7d finance the sale if the Council is interested. MCB:sh Attachments /U � � - , 18 � Gary Anderson 146 Ely St. N.E. Fridley, Mn. 55432 Nasim Qureshi City 1lanager City of Fridley 6431 University Fridley, h1n. 55432 Dear Sir: I am writing pertaining to the fellowing piece of property: Lots 43 and 44, Block 12, Spring Brook Park Addition. Plat 59140. Parcels 2435 and 2440. In my discussion with the assesment department, I understand this piece of property is owned by the city of Fridley. The initial intention by the city aras to build a well station at this location. I was told this plan is, at the moment, "highly unlikely". If so, Iwould be in�erested in purchasing this property from the city with the intention of building a house on it. I presently live on lots G5 and 46, and feel it would be to my advantage to build a new home as close as this is to my present residence. I will be awaiting your response. Thank you for your time.
