OPEfd FORUM, �ISITORS:
Mr. Ed Wilmes, stated he had an opportum ty to speak out for the merits of
the Islands of Peace at an April meeting with the Metropolitan Council, but
was advised not to go to the meeting and because he didn't speak out, the
Metropolitan Council did not receive correct information on the Islands of Peact.
He stated, stnce that time, he has met with the Metropolitan Council because
one of the issues at the April meeting was a statement that other reg�onal
parks have the some factlities as the Islands of Peace He stated this was
false and people who are knowledgable about outdoor recreation for the handicapped
have taken tours of the regional parks and now realize they were hasty and
wrong and that the Islands of Peace is um que.
Mr. Wilmes stated he hoped there is a resolution by the Council to make a
recommendation that Anoka County proceed to make an amendment to their plan
to include the Islands of Peace and that the C�ty will do everything they
can to cooperate with the County for acqusition of this land. He stated he
hopes the Metropolitan Council now realizes that what these areas need are
the proper facilities.

�
THE PREPARATION OF DOCUMENTS AND MATERIALS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROJECT
Mr. Ben,7amin, representing WinStephens Datsun North, Inc , appeared before the
Council regarding their request for an industrial revenue mortgage in the
amount of $675,000 for land acquisition and expans�on of the�r existrng facilities
"� � `�
REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 21,1979
PAGE 2
Mr. Ben�amin, stated Win Stephens is currently at their peak in their parts and
service department and there is a need for expansion and they would l�ke to
add a body shop. He felt this was a necessary pro,7ect to service their customers.
Mr. Ben,7amin stated the pro,7ect, in terms of benefits to the City, would add
approx�mately $325,000 in additional annual payroll and increase the employees
from 12 to 20.
Mr. Herrtck, City Attorney, stated, in discussions with the attorney for
Win Stephens Datsun North, he understands the funding of this pro�ect would
be in the form of a tax exempt mortgage.
Councilman Schneider questioned if there was some questton about the legality
of tax exempt mortgages.
Mr Herr�ck stated there has 6een some question about the legality for residential
purposes, but doesn't thtnk there has been any question for commerc�al or
industrtal purposes.
Mr. Herrick explained this pro,7ect would be done through the industrial revenue
6ond chapter of the Minnesota Statutes and the origtnal concept would be
that they would sell bonds to fi nance the project, however, now this has
evolved to the point that, in some cases, instead of selling bonds, they
finance �t through a mortgage. He was sure there wasn't any legal problem,
as it �s accepted by the Internal Revenue Service and financial institutions.
Councilman Schne�der questioned if there was insurance in this proposeil to
back up the pro�ect �n the event of default.
Mr. Herrick stated, in this situation, whoever finances the pro�ect, i,akes a
mortgage on the property and if the loan is not repaid, the one holdirig the
mortgage would end up with the property.
�
MOTIDN by Councilwoman Moses to adopt Resolution No. 73-1979 giving pr•eliminary
approval to a proposed �ndustrial development pro�ect to be constructed and
financed under the Minnesota Municipal Industrial Development Act, authorizing �
the preparation of documents and materials �n connection with the p�°o�ect.
Seconded by Counc�lman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Nee declared the motion carried unantmously.
Mr Qureshi, City Manager, pointed out that preliminary approval for the
industrial revenue mortgage does not mean approval of the 6uilding plans and
that this would be a separate item which must be reviewed and approved.

� Mr. Sobiech, Public Works Director, stated this is a request from Mr R.M.
Swanson for a seven foot encroachment into the drainage easement on Lot 3,
Block 2, Innsbruck North Addition. Mr. Sobiech stated it should be pointed
out that the Ctty does have a total of 80 feet for dra�nage easement, generally
in this location, along the rear lot lines.
REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 21, 1979 PAGE 4
Mr. Sobiech, Public Works Director, stated staff felt this was a minimal type
of encroachment and would not �mpact the drainage flow
Mr. Sobiech stated the main consideration is that the fill doesn't block
drainage �nto the main pipe, and to follow the policy to insure ma�ntenance
of the drainage system.
Mr. Swanson stated at the corner of his lot there is an �nlet pipe and the
basement elevation would be htgher than the pipe.
Mr. Sobiech felt, tf the house was properly constructed in the lot, there
shouldn't be any problems with drainage.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to grant permission to encroach seven feet
into the drainage easement on Lot 3, Block 2, Innsbruck North, as requested by
Mr. Swanson, for purposes of construct�ng a single fam�ly residence. Seconded
by Councilman Barnette. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared
the motton carried unantmously.
CONSIDERATION OF IMPLEMENTATION OF LARGE FAMILY HOME OWNERSHIP PROGRAM
Mr Sobiech, Public Works D�rector, stated several months ago, Council discussed
the bonus money that was available from HU� pertaining to implementation of
the large f�mily ownership program. He stated the City made application for
this money and the program would consist of acquisition of substandard homes,
relocation of the people to other homes and appropriate write down of �
various costs for a new structure. He stated the new homes would be ava�lable
to applicants that meet the criteria that is set up.
Mr. Sobiech stated a preliminary application was submitted to HUD and in
this particular case, HUD felt preltmimary application veas all that was necessary,
although there was some problem with the applicat�on since it didn't include
the process involved. Once the process was discussed, HUD felt comfortable
with the application and will issue the money once the Council requests they
released the funds.
Mr. Sob�ech rev�ewed the qualifications for participation in this program,
as outlined in a letter to Mary Youle of the HU� Office from Jerry Boardman,
City Planner.
Mr. Sobiech stated the City would receive about $130-$132,000 wh�ch would
allow for approxtmately three or four acquisitions and relocation of existing
families. Councilman Fitzpatrick asked, in these acquisitions, if there would
be a new house on each of the acquired properties. Mr. Sobiech stated there
would be where it is possible, however, they have one parcel tn mind that is
120 feet and this may involve splttttng it into two 60 foot building sites.
Mayor Nee asked if the City or Housing Authortty would have control over the
building plans. Mr. Sobiech stated it would be the Housing Authority, but the
home would still have to meet the code and ordinances.
Mayor Nee asked if they could assure the neighbors that this wouldn't 6e a
"bare minimum " home. Mr. Sobiech felt more money could go into the construction
of the home since the builder doesn't have to pay the full cost of the land.
Councilman F�tzpatrick stated, presumably, those neighbors, where a new home
would be built, are now l�ving next to a substandard house and the new home
would be an improvement.
Councilman Schneider questioned the procedure �f they had a situation of a
substandard home and the people didn't want to move.
Mr. Sob�ech stated once the determinat�on is made, he felt if is incumbent
on the City to proceed, hopefully wtthout condemnation, as he felt, if they
didn't, there might be a l�abtlity problem �n that the City recognizes tt
as substandard, but doesn't proceed.
Mr. Herrick, C�ty Attorney, asked where the money is coming from to build the
new homes.Mr. Sobiech stated this would come from the lending tnstitutions.

REG�LAR MEETING OF MAY 21,1979 PAGE 5
Councilman Schneider stated the Hous�ng Authority is then acting as "the
customer" as far as setting the price for which the home will be sold, within
Section 8 gutdelines.
Councilwoman Moses asked who determined who would be eligible for the homes
Mr. Sobiech stated they would be governed by criter�a under Section 8, 6ut
there will be advertising in Fridley.
Councilman Schneider asked if they can insure that preference is given to
Frtdley families. Mr. Sobiech stated that, ur�der Section 8, not necessarily.
MOTION by Councilman F�tzpatrick to direct the administrat�on to write the
letter to HUD requesti�ly, the release of these funds to implement the large
family ownership program. Seconded by Councilwoman Moses Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF AUTHORIZING THE CITY ADMINISTRATION TO ESTABLISH A PER DIEM
Mr. Brunsell, Finance Director, stated this proposed policy would establish
a flat rate for out of town travel, one rate for within the State and one rate
for outside the State. The flat rate would include food, lodging, and incidentals,
with everyone receiving the same amount per day. He stated the main reason
behind this is that everyone is getting the same rate and it cuts down on the
record keeping.
Mr. Brunsell stated they might have a situation where someone was using their
travel trailer and furnishing their own facilities and by having this daily
flat rate, they would know what is allowed.
Counc�lman F�tzpatrick stated he could see the concept, but by not having per
diem, he felt there was more control over accommodations and expenses.
Councilman Schneider stated he felt limits could 6e established on meals
and lodg�ng and receipts could be obtained for all other expenses
Councilwoman Moses felt the concept of per diem may be open to misuse since
persons may claim the full amount whether or not they use it.
Mr. Brunsell pointed out the request didn't ortginate with the Finance Department
but came about from discuss�ons by department heads and it was fe]t it would
be easier if they didn't have to keep track of incidental expenses.
Counctlman Schneider felt a per diem policy is open for abuse since a trip
or conference shouldn't be a money-makin9 proposit�on and on the other hand
it shouldn't be a los�ng propositton for the employee. He felt, depending
where the conference was held, he doubted if you could find a motel or hotel
for the rate allowed in this policy
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated, basically, the question arose when employees
use their own transportation and have other arrangements, other than staying in a
inotel, there is no compensat�on set up at all. He stated there is a State
and Federal policy on the basis of per diem rates and this was researched and
is the proposal now before the Council. He stated, however, if the Council
feels uncomfortable with it, they will continue with their present policy.
Councilman Barnette indicated he would feel comfortable with leaving it as
it is and letting the employees subm�t claims for what they actually spend
Mayor Nee felt the Charter was quite explicit aoout item�zed receipts. He
felt undocumented claims could poss�bly be accepted for cab fares and t�ps
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to receive the report regarding the per diem
policy. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Nee declared the motion carrted una m mously

ING ANOKA COUNTY TO PROVIDE OUTRIGHT DEED ON
GEWATER GARDENS.
REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 21, 1979 PAGE 6
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated the City requested the County to hold these
lots when they became tax forfeit to use this land for public purpose. He
stated ne�ghborhood meetings have been held and a conceptual plan was presented
for development of these lots for park purposes. He stated staff felt there
was a general consensus of approval of this approach.
Mr. Qureshi stated it is proposed that the North end of the park be a passive
area with heavy activity on the South end.
Mr. Qureshi stated Council should be aware there is a request from Redeemer
Lutheran Church for a portion of this property that abuts the church property. '
He stated, if the City does not destre to acqutre the property, it would be
put up for public sale.
Mr, Brunsell stated Marcla Etllcher contacted him asking whether of not the
Ctty owns these lots and he advised her this was coming before the Council
thts evening.
Councilwoman Moses asked how long the City was considering this area for a park.
Councilman F�tzpatr�ck stated �t has been discussed over the last ten years
as this is the only property in this area that has never had any park facilities
to speak of. He stated he realizes this is a senstiiive area, when they have
a request from Redeemer LutheranChurch regarding use of the property for thetr
expansion. He stated the problem �s, of course, that the church is interested
in the property at the South end and that is the only area with any width to
provide any kind of athletic fi eld and active recreation fac�lities.
Mr. �ohn Anderson, 831 66th Avenue, representing Redeemer Church,
stated the church is experiencing a crowding and the�r parking facil�t�es are
inadequate and felt if was important that they have an opportunity to purchase
the property.
Mrs. Marcia Etlicher, 6870 7th Street, representing Redeemer ���heran Church,
stated she was never aware a park was being considered for this area. She '
stated the church will need additional parking and requested consideration for the
church to obtain this property.
Councilman Barnette asked if the church ever considered this property, when
�t was tax forfeit. Mrs. Etlicher stated, as far as she knows, they didn't
and she talked with Mr. Brunsell �ust last week and was advised this matter would
be comin9 before the Council.
Mr. Ken Belkholm, 5870 6th Street, representing Redeemer Lutheran Church,
stated there is a need for additional parking because now, with some of their
activities, they are parking in the street, He stated he can appreciate
the concern for the park itself to serve the youth in Fridley, but the activtites
of the church also serve the youth.
Councilwoman Moses asked how many more parking spaces the church would have if
they could get the four additional lots. Mr. Sobiech stated they would have
room for approximately 100 more parking stalls.
Councilman Barnette stated he has told those people in the area that he would
do whatever he could to obtain a useable park in the�r neighborhood.
Mayor Nee stated people have also talked to him about the need for a park in
this area and he agreed it was needed and it didn`t oecur tb him that the
church needed ex�ra space.
Councilman Qarnette questioned if the only day of the week the parking lot '
was filled was on Sundays. The church representatives stated it is filled
also o n Wednesday mornings for Bible study, which is conducted m ne months
out of the year.
Councilman Barnette stated he felt very strongly that th�s park should go in
and hoped something can be worked out to everyone's satisfaction.

REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 21, 1979
PAGE i
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated this is something that has been under consideration
for the past ten years and believes there is a great need, demand and desire
Mr. Belkholm felt one problem they haven't looked at is when this area becomes
a park, there is the quest�on of parking since the church's lot was used for
parking last year when there was a skat�ng rink in the area.
Counc�lman Fitzpatrick felt they do have something contradictory here in that
the City duesn't plan to provide any parking, but do have the statement from
the church representatives that when this area is used people do use the
church's parking lot.
Councilman Fitzpatr�ck felt perhaps if parkin� could be provided along the
westerly edge, it could serve many purposes for use by the church and also
by persons coming to the park He felt is wouldn't hurt to provide parking for
the park,even though it is contrary to the present plan.
Mayor Nee felt they should proceed with the resolution to acquire the property
from the County and then proceed to see tf something could be worked out on
the des�gn and parking.
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated the basic question is if the Council wants
the property and if there could be a �oint use, he could see no reason why
the Ctty shouldn't cooperate. He felt they could look at the options to see
if someth�ng could be worked out.
MOTION by Counc�lman F�tzpatrtck to adopt Resolution fdo. 75-1979. Seconded by
Councilwoman Nloses.
Councilwoman Moses asked the mean�ng of "unrestricted", as it is used tn th�s
resolution
Mr. Sobiech stated �t would mean that the C�ty could do what they want with
the land and is not restr�cted for any particular use.
Counctlwoman Moses also quest�oned the cost for the property. Mr. Brunsell
stated the City would only be paying the spec�als against the property and
wasn't sure of the figure at this time.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated the Council did have that cost at the time they
were cons�dering the Comprehensive Park Plan
UPON A vOICE UOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, all voted aye, and Mayor Nee
