Councilman Fitzpatrick stated he had many minor questions and felt it might be hard to get back to them, after the plan had gone through the process. Mr. Qureshi stated that ±he way the process is supposed to work is that the Comraission� gives the Counc�l their recommendation wh�ch is then reviewed and acted upon by the Council. Councilman Schneider felt it is difftcult to follow the points raised and the discussion when they refer to certain ttems and questions, when you don't have the plan before you and con't follow what they are talking a6out. He felt, when the Counctl finally gets the document, you can't get back to what the discussion was about � LJ � REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 7, 1979 PAGE 4 IYir.

Mr. Qureshi stated he felt that posst6ly any recommendations which the Army Corps of Engtneers might submit would be an expens�ve type of solution. He stated the Corps' designs are for a 100 year storm and even though the Council might l�ke to do some of the things that would be recommended, the cost is always a factor Councilman Fitzpatrick felt he did not know what the �mplications of the study would be, but agrees that studies quite aften turn out to be facts accomplished Councilman Schne�der felt the City runs the risk of not solving a problem, if the Council doesn't proceed. Mayor PJee stated he d�dn't feel there was that much of a problem along the river and the problems that do exist are mostly assoc�ated with the creeks.

Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF FAIR SHr1RE CONCEPT FOR NON-RESIDENT'S PARTICIPATION IN RECREATION oonr_onr�n. �r Qoudreau of the Parks and Recreation Department stated the fair share concept they are propostng, for non-residents participating in recreation programs sponsored by Fridley, is what many other mum cipalities have in their programs. He stated non-residents participating in the Fridley programs would be charged a fair share or equal share to help cover some of the costs that the residents pay, through their tax money, for the facil�ttes. He stated Fridley residents would be , given priority and any non-res�dents may enter the program. In answer to a question regard�ng the policy in Columbia Heights, �r. Boudreau explained that the Recreatton Department in Columb�a Heights receives 50i of its money from the School District and 50% from the City, therefore, anyone residino �n School District #13 is not charged an additional fee and anyone outside of School District ,�`r13 is charged over and above the fair share fee. He stated their f�nanc�al pattern is entirely d�fferent from Fridley's. Councilman Schnetder stated Sprtng Lake Park �ust adopted a surcharge for Fr�dley residents partic�pating �n their programs. Councilman F�tzpatr�ck felt there are Fridley resadents who 7�ve in School Distr�ct r�16 who will participate in the Spring Lake Park programs and pay the fee. Councilmar� Schne�der stated h�s concern is that he has been working to find out why Blaine-Sprin9 Lake Park felt compelled to impose a fee for persons that are in the school d�strict and want to partictpate with their classmates. He felt the children would participate in Blaine's and Columbia Heights' programs, not because they don't like the Fridley program, but because they want to participate with their classmates. Councilman Schneider stated when ta7king about the fees for adult pi°ogi°ams, he doesn't have any problem. , Dr. Boudreau stated they are trying to protect the residents' rtghts. He stated, most of the adult programs have a lot of non-residents pay for the fac�lities to protect the City taxpayer. He stated Frtdley res�dents pay for the facilities through the tax dollar and non-residents should bear some of the cost of the program on a fatr share concept and this ts the only reason for instituting such a recommendation. � � i � �� �I REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 7, i979 PAGE 6 Councilman Schne�der stated he had heard the reason for the charge in Sprtng Lake Park was because Fridley didn't let them use the park facilities. He stated he does, however, have documentation to the contrary Councilwoman Moses felt the fair share concept might be misconstrued and felt this should be worked out at a d�fferent level, and poss�bly a �oint program to use the facilities without cost. She stated she didn't have any problems with adults paying on the fair share concept, but with the children's activtties she felt it was the athletic competition that was causing the problems Dr. Boudreau felt, if a d�stinction was made between the adult and ch�ldren act�vities, the City could be left open for critic�sm on being unequal or unfair for everyone h1ayor Nee stated he has some difficulty w�th the philosophy since these are public facilities and the public is not described as a Fr�dley resident. Dr. Boudreau felt they were discussing two different ph�losophies, one on use of the facilities and the other on the programs. Dr. Boudreau stated the Parks and Recreatton Commission did concur with the recoramendation by an unam mous vote and staff would like to knova the Council's desire so that whatever action is taken could be included in the summer brochures which are ready to be sent out. Mayor Nee suggested possibly approv�ng this concept now and then discussing it with the ne�ghboring ctties. MOTION by Councilman Schneider to concur w�th the recommendat�on of the Parks and Recreation Commission on the fair share concept for one session of the recreation proyram and, �n the tnter�m, the Council rev�ew the policy and commum cate wtth ad�oining cominunities and school districts.
