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.

NEW BUSINESS: RESOLUTION NO 73-1979 GIVING PRELIMINARY APPRDUAL TO A PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL � 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.

BLDCK 2 � 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 75-1979 ruKrtii �uis iN tu 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 declared the mot�on carried unan�mously.
