OPEN fORUM, VISITORS:
Mr. Douglas Osieczanek, 101 Crown Road, stated his home was burglarized and the Police
Department has not entered all the items in the nationwide computer list. He stated
he has pointed this out to the Police Technician and has gone downtown to check,
and the items are not listed. He questioned why this was not done.
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, was asked to check into this matter and the City will
contact Mr. Osieczanek with a response.
� Mr. Tom h(yhra, 6360 Able Street, submitted a proposed resotution for Fair Campaign �,
Practices which he requested the Council consider. He stated the Council has gone on
- record as being for open and fair campaigns and requested they now go on record ,
�II against "midnight flyers." He pointed out the resolution would prohibit in any � .
Fridley City election the preparation, printing, and/or distribution of new campaign
;% '� literature later than 84 hours before the polls open. He stated the use of the last i
� minute literature does not give the opponent a chance to reply, and usually these� ,
"flyers" do�not�cane from the candidate themselves, but from another group.

;
� He stated out of 21 existing billboards, 19 do not meet a17 the criteria of the
; ordinance.
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. � .'
UPON A ROLL CALL VOTE TAKEN ON THE M07ION, Councilwoman Kukowski, Councilman Hamernik
and Lounciiman Fitzpatrick voted in favor. Councilman Schneider voted a9ainst
and Mayor Nee abstained. Mayor Nee declared the motion carried by a 3 to 1 vote.

CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FOR VARIANCES BY METROPOLITAN INVESTMENT FUND, INC.,.7300
UNIVERSIT VENUE N.E.; C R W SH BLED /7 7:
Mr. Sobiech, Public Works Director, stated this was a variance request to allow a
driveway opening less than 75 feet adjacent to a property line. He stated the parcel
of property is generally located on the northwest corner of University Avenue and
73rd Street.
Mr. Sobiech stated one alternative was to work with the development to the north
regarding a joint use of the driveway and another alternative was the possibility of
a single driveway off 73rd. He stated a stipulation of the Appeals Comnission was
that this driveway be revamped to provide better in9ress and egress to the site.
'� Mr. Harlfinger, President of Vickers Minnesota Oil Canpany, stated they wanted to
, use this piece of property for a self-service gas station. Ne stated the distance
' fevm the building to the curbing is 35 feet and that they did not want to use the
, driveway onto the access road as it is too close to the existing building, and their
' � customers would have to drive�150 feet in an unlighted area in order to exit onto
� the access road.
Mr. Harlfinger presented photos of their other operations in the Twin Cities area.
Councilman Hamernik stated his position hasn't changed since it was discussed two weeks
ago. He stated the City went to a certain street design to help the traffic at the
intersection and with a lot of land to be developed to the south, 73rd could become
a major street.
; Mr.. Harlfinger stated,�if the variance was granted, they would be 100 feet from the
street, but not from the property line. He stated they are not only trying to bring

reise a minimum amount of money to sustain the interest payments on�the basis of the.

felt it wasn't necessary for the special use permit, which would require a lot of ��
administrative time. �

wondering if they really want to�exempt billboards from a process required for other
items.
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.

and Councilwoman Kukowski voted in favor. Councilman Schneider voted against the motion

Mr. Sobiech stated the ori9inal building nerr�it indicates the special use perinit
is only good for the automatic car wash. 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.
MOTION by Councilman Hamernik to table this item until staff is ready to bring it '�.
6ack before Council. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all voting �'.
aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. I.
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. Upon a voice vote, all votin9 aye, Mayor Nee

Mr. Hill stated a considerable amount of research has been done in the areas of burglary
and vandalism and analysis reports were recently su6mit'ed to the Council, with the
suggestion�of a prevention program. 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. Mr. Hill explained this is part of the recortonendation and had
just been overlooked in his cortenents.
Mr. Qureshi thanked the representative of the State Crime Control Planning Board and
Mr. Hill for their presentation.

CONSIOERFlTION OF CITY PARTICIPATIDN IN "WILD IN FRIDLEY" BROCHURE:
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, referred to the memo of November 1, 1977 regarding this
item and stated, other than the options given in the memo, a different approach could
be used by issuing a quarterly�newsletter and no calendar.
Mayor Nee felt the question of the calendar should be resolved separately. The consensus
of the Council was to issue a calendar for the coming year.
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. The reason for supporting this is that it is good for the general image of '�,
� Fridley, prortqtes economic growth and comnerce in the City, and, in general, works
towards the goal of a better com��mnity ideiitity. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. ��.

Mr. Bill Atkins
Minnesota State Planning Agency
101 Capital Square Building
550 Cedar Street
St. Paul, Minnesota 55101
Dear Bill:
Pursuant to our telephone conversation of November 14, 1977, this letter
will serve as a formal request that the State Planning Agency, with review by
the �epartment of Natural Resources, accept the enclosed material as a detailed
work program to meet the requirements of the Islands of Peace grant of $150,000
from the State of Minnesota. 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,

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.

MEMO FROM: Ray Leek, Planning Assistant
MEMO DATE: November 21, 1477
RE: PROP05AL FOR THE DESIGNATION OF ISLANDS OF PEACE RARK AS A REGIONAL
SPECIAL USE FACILITY
Uniqueness of the FaciliCy
Island of Peace Park is located approximately 5 miTes north of the .
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.

RE: PROPOSRL FOR THE DESI6NATION OF SPRINGBROOK NATURE CENFER AT NORTH
PARK AS A REGIO"AL. 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.

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

DRAFT PROPOSAL

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

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.

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.

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.
MOTION by Councilman Hamernik to approve Special Use Permit SP �77-70 to Fk . Jitl
2ak for use of a recreational-comnercial facitity in an M-2 zone at 8290 I•lain Street

Chairperson Harris said that there r�ay be certain instances
�vhere a double bungalow may nicely fit in an R-1 district.
He said there erere several along East River Road that crere

2�Ir. Oquist felt that there rrere times r�hen a double bungaloer
rras probably most desirabla for the lot and location. He
also said that the best control r;ould be to vote NO on ths
requests that crouldn't be acceptable.
Air. Boardnan explained that if a double bun;alot� tiiould go
into an R-1 area, then the City Council.��vants a rezonino
rather than a Special Use Permit, He said that there

Ms. Schnabel felt that they 1�rould really be limiting things
by eutting out the Special Use Permit and go strictly to a

Mr. Langenfeld said that in the past six months they have
seem this problem come up more frequently, He didn't
feel that it va� going to occur that frequently in the
future because of the availability of space. He said that
he preferred the Special Use Permit because of the control
they had over it,
Mr. Boardman said that space ��ras a big problem, He said that
in the near future a lot of the,areas (such as doi�ntolvn) t•rill be
going into �ultiple use type areas.
Ms. Schnabel cit�d an example of NE i�iinneapolis crhere there
is a residential street on n;hich you have a number of `
duplexes mixed in tivith the single family homes. She said
that it provided alternative housing in residential areas
for those people ��ho are unable to afford a single family
house of their o�•m. She said that all.the housing appeared
to be compatible, She said that there trere probably a lot
of good reasons r�hy ;fe should consider putting duplexes into

v�ould be ��selling« the idea to the adjacent single family
residents.

those many people ��ent tnat rauch time for naught, She felt
that at some point the City Council should have called a
halt to ihe Ordinance :�ork and not srasted all the time of the
people,
Mr. Langenfeld said that if the Commissions are going to spend
iime on such items and then just get ��shot dor�n��, they may as
tvell forget it. He r.tade mention of a previous statement that
he made that said the if the needed Comnissions can't function
the rra}* they should, then rrhy should they exist.
tRs. Schnabel szicl that it ��as discouraging to the people that
put a lot of time into it. She said tnat in the future it may �
be hard to find volunteers ��ho ��ill be crillino to put time and
effort into a projects like that if they find that they aren�t
going to get any:�heres rrith it any�;ays.
Mr. Langenfeld said that it rras an insult if it �ras just givett
to the Planning Commission for something to do.
Chairperson Harris said that tke Sign Ordinance r�as initiated
by the Planning Comraission to be revietived.
Ms. Schnabel said that the City Council should have told them
not to bother.
P4r. Oquist said that the City Council comroletely disregarded
t��hat the citizens rranted, rtI:icn i•ras really too bad, because
that is rrho the Council r�as elected by.
Chai.rperson Harris �aid that I:r, Sobiech and he had spent a
considerable amount of t=ne r;ith the Chattber of Commerce
explaining the Crdinance and aiding ther� in their deliberations.
He said that they had agreenea� r�ith ther� as far as Special Use
Permits rrent and so:.ie other ite�s. He said that the Chanber
had many different ideas than the Ordinance had.
There was �uch discussion regar3ing the iteras that rrere
granted by the City Council, This discussion mainly touched �
on the ��billboard+� subject an:; the manner of handling tne
nan-conforming signs, since the Special Use Permit rras ooing
to be dropped.
It r,�as decided by the ne^�oers of the Coramission that alI signs
tyould IiI�VL to raeet all the re�u�rements.
ChairPerson Harris said that he planned to go to the second
reading of the Sign Ordinc,nce and that he uas going as a
"private citizen�� and not as the Chairperson of the Plantting

CALL TO ORDER:
Chairperson Sheri3an called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m.
APPROVE CHARTER COMPSISSION MIN[1TE5: (May 24 and July 26, 1977)
Mr. Sheridan asked for approval of minutes of hiay 24 and July 26, 1977, which
had been discussed at September 20 meeting. MOTION by Mr. Langer, seconded by
Ms. Johnson, that minutes of May 24 and July 26 be approved. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, motion.passed unaniu�ously.
Mr. Sheridan asked that minutes of September 20, 1977�work session show the
following correction: Under "New Business", page 1, line 6, last paragraph,
change "they" to read ":.he City"; same paragraph, line 8, change "they" to
"City."
There followed a discussion of items coming out of work session of September 20,
1977. Mr. Sheridan stated he had made co:mnent at last meeting about possibility
of changing by-laws and that it has to be done at the end of the next meeting, in
November.
Mr. Swanson asked if Charter Commission letter to the City dated July 27, 2977
re ethics ordinance had ever received a formal response from the City. Mr, Ash
responded that there was only verbal input on question 6 of that letter and
that othezwise renaining questions had not been answered. It was Mr, Swanson's
feeling that since the �ity had sent the Commission a letter asking for comments
on the Ordinance, ar.d since t-ne Commission had responded to that, there then
should be some acknowledgement from the City on the Commission's comments.
MOTION by D1r. Swanson that a letter be sent to City Manager, with copy to
Council, asking for a reply to Commission letter of July 27 re ethics ordinance.
Motion seconded by Dlr, Langer, and upon a voice vote, a21 voting aye, motion
passed unanimously.
Mr,'. Sheridan indicated that apparently ethics ordinance had been hanging fire
for several years, and Council felt some final action should be taken before a
number of the Council members left that qoverning body, He expressed opinion
•

that ppint was taken by Council.that Charter Commission is not a coimnission
sppointed by them and therefore would not come under this type of ordinance.
1• REPORT FROM OFFZCERS
Mr. Sheridan stated that he had no report to make. He indicated that there
was a note from Dorothy Evenson, secretary for agenda and special meterials,
that Mr. McPherson had indicated he would not be able to attend this meeting.
Mr. Sheridan asked if anyone had any corrections to the Commission member-
ship address and phone list. The following corrections were indicated and
will be included in an updated list to the membership (copy attached here-
with). Charles Langer business phone should be changed to: 784-2723;

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

- --- 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,

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).
ADJOURNMENT
Mr. Sheridan called €or adjournment at 8:36 p.m. Mr. Swanson so moved, seconded
by Mr. Langer and upon a voice vote, all voting aye, meeting adjourned.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Sincerely,
Gary Anderson
