OPEN FORUti VISITORS:
Senator pon Frank appeared before the Council regarding the 3tate�a
ahortPall. Ae stated the bill in the Legislature i� eonsidered as a
compromise betWeen the Governor and leaders oP the Legislature. Be atated
this bill calls for 5.78 million dollar eut to all of the cities in the
State and this amount vould be eliminated from the December 15 payment to
eities Which should be #9.� million dollara.
Senator Frank ezplained that the state sid ia figured by taking the 1982
levy limiLa and to that levy limit is added the total year�a loeal
government sids a city had anticipated. He stated these figures are added
� ( � rl � • 1 r�� i
together and multiplied bp 7.15� and this figure is then subtracted from
the city's December 15 payment and that is what they can expect to receive
ia the month of December.
Senator Frank �tated the House is eztremely reluctant to aupport the bill
and in the Senate, based on the caucus today, he t+ould be aurprised it it
got out of the Seaate.
3enator Franlc stated they have beea told they have very little alternative
thea to vote for this bill. He stated one alternative is the Governor and
the State Would have the total authority to unallot paqments to local
gover�ents and counties� as Well as nursing hcmes, and any other payments
the State is authorized to make. He felt this suthority Would completely
devastate major programs and would approaah the destroping of the
educational system.
He stated he hoped they can go back and renegotiate.
Senator Frank also spoke on the proposal pertaining to the pension program
and Pelt the State would take =77,000,000 from public employees' pockets.
He stated an additional 2-1/2'X would be taken out of the public em ploqee's
salary per month and the City Will remit this to the State. He stated this
amount �ould be deposited into the General Aceount for the State.
Senator Frank stated the State has borrorred ;850, 000, 000 for a ahort term
and shifted =700,000�000 from one biennium to aaother. He stated
approximately =300�000,000 is needed in the General Fund just to pay every
day bills. He atated there is a shortfall in the employee compensation
fund and there is unfunded teacher retirement liability and the tigures he
has beard go all the way up to =1, 000, 000, 000.
Senator Frank stated the crisis didn't happen overnight and has been a long
time in eom3ng and, he felt, the problem Would be Mith them for at least
the next four yeara.

�ONSTRUCTTON TO VACATE LONGFELLdW STREET AKD ALLEY EASF�MENT EAST OF THE
At�RL•TNGTON N�RTHERN RAILROAD TRACRS:
NOTION by Couneilman Hamernik to waive the reading of the public hearing
notice and open the public hearing. Secoaded by Couneilman Fitzpatrick.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Nayor Nee declared the motion carried
unanimously and the public hearing opened at 7:5'r P• $•
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, atated Park Construction has requested a
vaeation of the street and alley betxeen their propertq oa Beech Street and
tY►e Burliagton Northern Railroad tracks.
Mr. Flora atated the Planning Cammission has recommended approval ot the
vaoatioa xith tvo stipulations; one ia tht the City retain an access
easement to the back lots and the other ia that anq drainage eaaement be
restricted to underground piping.
�
�.� � r� � � � 1 �I: �
Mr. Flora atated the staff concern is the accessibility to those lots in
Block 5 and 12, Spring Brook Park, aad the City's ability to divert a
portion of the Stoneybrook draittage system to the Springbrook Aature Ceater
Pond. He stated, Lherefore, the City vould like to maintain a 30 foot
drainage/utility easement along the railroad track property.
Couneilman HaIDernik questioned if there �►as an easement norLb o! the tracks
and ihe possibility of continuiag this easement to the north. !!r. Flora
atated the City is attemptiag to acquire the easement essentially from 78th
all the Way north to the Spriagbrook Nature Ceater.
Mr. Carlson, the applicant, questioned if it is a drainage ditch easement
or property the City would be taking aWay from them. Mr. Flora stated the
City is looking for 30 feet of land Wbere a drainage system couid be
installed and it eould either De an open d3teh or a pipe.
Mr. Carlson atated that Northern States PoWer nox has a high Wire line
going aeross the property, but still makes tbe land useable. He further
pointed out that Hinnegaseo and tbe Netropo2itan WasLe Control Commission
have their piping belo� the existing grade.
Mr. Carlson atated they have just purchased this piece of property for
storage of their equipment and all they ask ia Lhat it be useable for their
iatended purpose�.
He stated if the easement the City ia requesting Would make that land
unuseable to them, he felt the City should buy the property from them. iie
stated iP the City wants an underground drainage system, they have ao
objection; hrnrever, an open ditch would make the land unuseable to them.
Mr. Carlson stated it didn't seem feasible to him to put an open drainage
ditch over a sewer liae, When this line has to be accessible for repairs.
Councilman Barnette atated if Lhere isn�t an easement going north, it makes
the other parcels of land virtually unsaleable and felt aceess should be
provided to those parcels. t�tr. F2ora stated one essement is to allo�►
access and the other 30 toot easement ia for drainage purposes. He stated
the request to vacate the street and alley covers about 12,000 square feet
and the City is looking at seme future improvement along the tracks for
treatment oP storm water before it enters the m3ssissippi river system.
Mr. Qureshi, City Nanager, atated by providing a means of diverting the
xater, it would loxer the burden on Stoneqbrook Creek and, hopefuilq,
improve the nature area. Be stated in order to have a controlled area into
Stoneybrook and minimize the damage on Springbrook creek, the drainage
easement is needed to� basically, divert the �rater, and the cheapest method
xould be an opea diteh.
Mr. Carlson stated the City already has a drainage easement and felt this
ahould be utilized instead of depriving them of useable property on the
south end of this parcel. !!r. Qureshi stated the City does uae the
� 1 � yl � � ' 1 �lyl: � .
drainage easement to Which !!r. Carlson ia referring, however, additional
drainage easements are needed to handle the water to the nortb.
Nr. Carlson felt it would be advantageous for the City to coatact the
Netropolitan Waste Control Cammis�ioa to see if they Would alow an open
diteh over their line and to also eonsider if the loeatioa ot the gas liae
vould prevent an open drainage dit�h.
!!r. Qureshi atated he would agree a piped aystem would be a better
arrangement, but the only problem ia the ooat.
Nr. Qureshi felt there are a number of iasues the ataff would like to �heck
into further and it might be best to continue the hearing until the aecond
meeting in January. He stated he hoped theq ean come to aome agreement
that meets both the staff�s and Mr. Carlsonfa requirements.
MOTION by Councilman Hamernik to eontiaue thia publio hearing to the aecond
meeting in Januarq. Seconded bq Councilman Fitzpatrick. Opon a voice
vote� all voting aye� Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Matz, Attorney for the Cable Television Commission, atated the
Pranchising doc�ent before the Couneil has been slightly revised since the
first reading of the ordinance. He atated it is necessary that the State
Cable Board review all franchise ordiaancea, therePore, the approach in
Fridley has been somexhat different in that they have botb an ordinance and
a contract.
Mr. l�atz stated the documents before the Council are final, With one small
ezception, Which ia the addition of a aentence in Section 9.05 of the
ordinance, as requested by Ns. Reichgott, the attorneq for 3torer.
Mr. Matz atated he believed this request is in order and presert►ea both the
intention and meaning oP that aection aad requested the Couneil consider
this addition thia evening.

Mr, trlatz stated there was a typographieal error in the subscriber coatract
xhich has been corrected and this document in now in order.
Nr. Iiatz stated there xas a memo prepared by Mr. Herbst of their office
where suggestions were made regarding an acaeptable proaedure to treat
doeument FCC Form 326•
Councilman Schneider stated his concern that if f or soae reason the City
doesn't follorr t.he requirements for keeping FCC Form 326 private and a copy
ia made and distributed, if they are subJecting the tax payers and the City
to a potential laWSUit by Storer because the Citq violated their privacy.
He atated he personally feela he ia aot Willing to take on that burden.
Mr. Matz stated he didn't believe copying tha form and distributing it
would subject the City to any liability. He stated iP that document eame
into the public domain and Storer Was damaged bq that act oP Lhe document
being distributed, Storer xould have Lo prove some damage to their aompany.
Councilman Schneider atated he hates to loek the City into a aituation of
potential liability� and wondered if vorking could be added to the etfect
the City would make every attempt to keep the doc�ent confidential, but to
hold the City harmless in the event the document was inadvertently
disclosed.
Ns. Bremer� Director of Community Relations for Storer, stated she could
understand the City's coneern and Would have no objection to going back to
the original vording, and that was the City would maintain the
confidentiality of the document.
Ms. Barbara Hughes, a member ot the Cable Television Cem�ission, stated the
Cammission looked at this question and Weighed the value of having that
document on hand versus protecting the confidentiallty. Sbe felt, as long
as theq can receive accurate information through the Finance Director, it
vouldn't matter whether the doc�ent is on haad at the City Hall.
Ms. Bremer stated the object of putting ia a confidentiality clause la to
protect the compar�y► Prom the release of those documents. She stated, if
the document Was released� the City vould be only aubject to liabilitq if
the companq could prove damages. She atated their onlq eoncern about a
hold harmles� clause is it makes the confidentiality of the flocument
meaningless. She further atated she would have some concerA about a
blanlcet hold harmless clause, but would be rrilling to work out something
regarding the inadvertent release of the document.
!layor Nee asked the attorney and the Storer attorney and representatives to
seet and try to Work out xording regarding a hold bar�less clause, and the
Council xould continue this itea until later in the meeting.

M�qor Hee atated this variance waa denied by the Council, hoWever, Mr.
La�rrence didn't have the opportunity to appear to present his caae and
requested reconsideration of the variance.
Nr. Flora, Public ilorks Director, stated thia variance request was
aubmitted by the Far liieti► Sign Company to place a billboard at 73rd and
University. He stated a variaace was�requested f rom the 73rd and
Oniversity Avenue intersection Pram the required 500 feet to 480 feet or a

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, NOVEMBER 17, 1982 PAGE 6
Mr. Carlson stated this crushing operation is a new venture for Park Construc-
tion. They plan to bring in concrete materials to be crushed. Nhen they have
accumulated enough materials, they will bring in a crusher and crush this
material, then stockpile it for reuse and sale. There is no way they would have
enough material to keep a crusher going to its full extent. However, there
could come a time when the crusher would be there full time. He stated this
is recycling material that people normally are hauling and putting into land-
fills which is wasting a good product. He stated crushed gravel is getting
harder and harder to get.
Mr. Svanda stated he would be concerned about the noise generated by the crusher
as residential housing is not too far away.
Mr. Carlson stated he has �o expertise in how much noise is generated by the
crusher. The power plants of the crusher are normally enclosed in a van so the
only actual noise is the crushing of the material as it goes into the crusher.
In 1971 Park Construction crushed a million yards of limestone on East River
Road and 31th for Burlington Northern. They crushed two shifts night and day,
and the noise from the crusher did not pose any major complaints from the
neighborhood.
Mr. Deblon stated it would be interesting to visit an existing rock crusher
and take decibel readings at various distances. He would suggest Mr. Carlson
do that before the special use permit request goes to the City Council as noise
might also be a concern expressed by the City Council.
Mr. Carlson stated that Carl Bollander b Sons has been crushing rock for the
last three years down on Marshall Ave. b Plymouth. The crusher is located
within 200 ft. of a redevelopment area with new homes. Bollander did get sor.ie
coMplaints, and he put up a noise barrier to deflect the noise. Mr. Carlson
stated that if noise is a problem. there are remedies. He stated if they violate
the noise code, then they would have to do whatever is necessary to be in com-
pliance with the noise code.
Ms. van Dan asked about the dust.
Mr. Carlson stated there would be some dust, but the amount of dust varies
with the different types of material. He stated he did not feel dust would be
a problem.
Mr. Carlson stated they keep a neat and.tidy operation, and they want to
cooperate with the City in every way possible. including any noise or dust
to�platnts. He felt this was an avenue that the construction industry is
doing that, quite frankly. is going to save taxpayers' dollars.
Mr. Kondrick stated his concern was also about the noise as crushing rock is
a noisy operation.
Mr.Deblon stated that, as Mr. Carlson had stated earlier, this is a form of
recycling.

Attached for your review are the minutes of the Park and
Recreation Commission meeting dealing with the petition
submitted by the Jay Park residents. This item was on the
City Council agenda for two reasons. First, it was part of
the official motion made by the Park and Recreation Commission
and, second, with the numerous amount of names on the petition,
I thought it justified that Council was made aware that we have
tentatively solved the problem.
We do plan on regrading in-house the west side of Jay Park for
the establishment of a general ice area for the year 1983.
By regrading this area, we will also make available an open
spot for soccer, touch football and other field games that
the neighbors may play.
There are approximately 50 to 60 K through 6 age children in
this neighborhood and, therefore, I believe they warrant
additional area besides just the play equipment.
As you will note by reading through the minutes, we have also
expressed interest in experimenting with the new pond at
Community Park. Without the knowledge of what difficulties
we may face in our equipment entering and leaving this area,
we cannot be assured that it_will make a�uitable skatinq
area. We also need to contact the County with regards to a
proper working agreement for use of the pond. .
After this skati.ng season is finished, we will evaluate and
keep you posted on our plans for the 1983-84 skating season.

Mr. 6ary Marlow, 6525 Main St. N.E., stated they are at the meeting to request
an ice rink in Jay Park. Right now tf�ey have a park that is tnadequate for any-
thing as far as winter activities. Right now the average aged child is 10� years
o1d, and Jay Park is more of a toddlers' park. There is a climber and a swing
set and that is all. He stated they have a petition to present to the Parks b
Recreation Cortmission requesting one ice skating rink at the Fridley Jay Park
location.

REQUESTZNC ONE ICE SKATZNG RINK AT JAY PARK.
UPON 11 VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTINC AYE, CNAIRPERSON KONLIRICK DECIARED TNE lNOTIDN
C1�RJ2IED UNANIPIOUSLY.
A resident stated that in order for their children to do any ice skatinq� they
have to either cross the railroad tracks, Mississippi St., University Av�e., or
Rice Creek. As long as they have a park and there are as man,v children as there
are in the neighborhood, they would think they could have an ice ripk at Jay Park.
A resident stated the area across the tracks from them is
their area� except there are about 20 more houses. Their
tennis courts, two basketball set-ups, and an ice rink.
similar in nature to
park has a toddler area.
A resident stated that someone had mentioned their children could ride their
bikes to the new community park, but that is also da�ger�us, decause there are
woods nearby and the railroad tracks to cross.
A resident asked how the Citr detennines which parks are to have tce and which
are not.
Dr. Boudreau stated they are trying to consolidate and centralize the ice areas
based on a report done by the Planning Oepartment. The report was based on the
population statistics of the children, neighborhoods, etc. He stated the Jay Park
area is not unusual. Almost every neighborhood in Fridley is isolated. �ld
Central, Mississippi St.. I-694. University Ave., and Osborne Road all cut through
the City. Most neiqhborhoods do not have an ice rink. There are only ten ice
rinks in the City of Fridley--an ice rink 6eing an enclosed rink utilized for
hockey. and there are 20 general skating areas in Fridley. Some of those areas
are rather small. They are a maintenance headache and are very costly for the
City to operate.
Or. Boudreau stated that with the economic pinch, the City is trying to reduce
the expenses of the City budget to hold down the tax bill. His job is to recommend
to the Parks b Recreation Cormission the ice area locations for 1982-83 (to be
addressed later in the meeting), He stated that six years ago, there were 14 ice
rinks for hockey in the City; they are now down to 10, because they are much more
expensive to maintain than a general skating area.
Dr. Boudreau stated Curt Dahlberg, the Park Foreman� had looked at Jay Park. In
a memo to Dr. Boudreau, Mr. Dahlberg had stated it would cost about =2,200 to
maintain an ice area throughout the year. It is going to take a6out E700 to pre-
pare.the ground. totalling about s3.000, an outlay of funds that has not been
budgeted for an ice pad which would measure approx. 75' x 100'. He stated they
would have to utiliie the west side of the park area where the ball diamond is
now located. If they were to regrade this area to accommodate a general skating
site, there would be extensive turf damage (counter-productive to the existing
turf management program), plus a good probability that the ball field would remain
wetter for longer periods of time, thus reducing normal surtmer usage activities.
3C
PARKS b RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING SEPTEMBER 27 1982 PAGE 3
Mr. Dahl6erg had stated the level direct rod readings show that ingress/egress
to the s�te would be yery diffitult. The drop in grade would be approx. 2� ft.
�n 30 ft. d�stance which Nould be very difficult for equtpment entry/exit during
�nter �onditions. He had also stated that the present winter schedule is taxed
to tts limits and he felt t�at wit�out additional full time personnel or authorita-
� tion ot overtime, expansion of their winter schedule at this time would result in
reduction of quality service to a11 ice areas and rink areas within the City.
Dr. Boudreau stated Mr. Dahlberg's crew consists of six full-time people and
about seven part-time maintenance people, operating six days a week trying to
maintain the ice in Fridley. and that is quite a load for that amount of people
and equipment breakdowns they have.
Or. Boudreau stated Mr. Dahlberq had su�gested thet the residents of Jey Perk be
notified of the City's plans to create a large general ice area at the new Community
Park and to inform them of the City's instruction sheet for backyard rinks.
A resident stated they were told that about 12 years ago, the Jay Park residents
tried to get an ice skating area and were turned down. She would like to know
why in this area where there are a lot of children and it is potentially dangerous
for the children to travel to another rink. the City cannot move a rink from one
location to another.
Dr. Boudreau stated economics, manpower� and accessibility were three reasons.
Mr. Kondrick stated they do appreciate the citizens of Fridley bringing these
kinds of things to their attention. Mr. Dahlberg had spent some time looking at
the area and figuring out how much it would cost to build the rink and how much
it would cost to maintain it. On that basis alone. the City does not have the
dollars to do it. What the future will bring. he stated he did not know. He
stated that at this time, he felt the Comnission would have to take the matter
under advisement to see which direction they should go.
Ms. Schreiner stated that one comnent she felt was very important was the comnent
that the children on the average in this little neighborhood have outgrown the
use of Jay Park. She stated she has lived in Fridley for 20 years, and she never
had a"tot lot", and she always had to drive her children to another area when
they wanted to go skating. She understood what the residents were going through�
but she thouqht there must be some way of determining which areas possibly no
longer need an ice area. She stated there must be some type of reports on how
heavily used the rinks are.
Dr. Boudreau stated that unless there is a warming house located at an ice rink
with.an attendant to monitor the usage, it is impossible to know how heavily a
rink is used. Last year, to the best of their ability, about 20.000 participants
used ice tn the City of Fridley.
Dr. Boudreau stated another concern the residents should be aware of is the problem
of the little children trying to skate when the 10-11-12,year olds have their
hockey sticks and pucks and are playing fiockey.
PARKS 6 RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 27, 19A2 PAGE 4
Mr. Young stated his biggest concern was the fact that these children are havinq
to cross major streets to go to other areas.
A resident stated the major res�reetsrtohanyeoftthe othEr av�ilableirinkss because

Or. Boudreau stated the City is planning a bikeway/walkaay system that will go down
from their neighborhood and across t�e metropolitan sewEr dike o� Rice Creek and
connect in with the County's bikeway/walkway system. He stated this neighborhood's
problem is not new to tve looked atetheaproblembofegettingkthe people onstheiwestf

Ms. Schreiner stated it might be beneficial to get more up-to-date information
on numbers of children in particular areas.
Mr. Kondrick stated they wi11 definitely review this, will get some new up-to-date
fiformation in terms of numbers, dollars, etc.. and will notify the residents of
their recomnendation.

1, JAY PARK SKATI_NG RINK PETITION:
Qr. Boudreau stated that at the last meeting. the reside�Ls of Jay Park had
presented the Commission with a petition to request an ice rink at Jay Park.
He stated the Commission members still have to make a recomhendation on this
request.
Dr. Boudreau stated that at the last meeting, the Cortmission had requested
he check about the security light that was out at Jay Park. He stated he
did contact NSP, and that light should be fixed. The Commission� had also
asked him to get more up-to-date information on numbzrs of children in this
particular area. He stated Roger Schmaus, Principal of Stevenson Elementary
School, had informed him that there are approx. 50 children in grades K- 5
that are bussed from that area, and those are the children who would most
likely use a general ice skating rink.
Or. 8oudreau stated the Conmission members had also requested a traffic count
on Mississippi St. He stated there is no updated traffic count on Mississippi.
It is one of the crossroads in the City, and the traffic is equal to similar
streets such as OsDorne and 73rd Ave.
Dr. Boudreau stated he has looked at the area in Jay Park again. They are
still talking about an area. approx. 75' x 100', depending upon the depth of
snow which would make the area even smaller, fhey are talking about ingress
and egrees to the generat skating area to be located on the west side of the
park, �The security light would be the light to provide lighting for an ice
skating area to eliminate additional expenses. As pointed out in Curt Dahiberq's
memo, the expense would be around 53.000 a year to just maintain the rink.
Mr..Young stated that maybe it would be less expensive and more practical to
sealcoat the basketball court and then flood over the top of the court. It
would save them the cost of moving the dirt, and they wouldn't ruin the turf.
They could try this on a one-year basis to see what kind of usage the rink got.
He stated Columbia Heights has flooded their tennis and basketball courts for
years to use for rinks. He realized it would only provide an ice area of
approx, b0' x 75' Was this a practical solution?
Or. Boudreau stated he has discussed this with Curt Dahlberg because they
have talked about experimenting with freezing over blacktop. One problem is
they would end up color coding the area about every 2 years. Also, looking
at the size of the space, if there is very much snow, the area'is dramatically
reduced. 7o freeze over the court is just as expensive as to clear the snow
from the whole west side. because the equipment still h�s to come in and they
Hevalso thought�ittwould be an�inferior�spaceutoStrynand maintainrger space.
Mr. Allen agreed the west side was the only place for a rink, but there
would definitely need to be some work as far as elevation.

since Fridley has never tried flooding a court. why
is a smaller area? She felt the children would be
rink since they have never had any rink before in
3F
Dr. Boudreau stated the money is not in the budget for this year. Ne stated
no matter what size the ice is, it still costs the same to maintain, even if
they flood the blacktop. He stated if they are going to do anything, he
would rather see them go in a�nd rework the whole west area and do it correctly.
Since the ball diamond is not used, they could remove the backstop, grade the
whole west area, and make an official skating area. In the summertime, they
could use it for soccer and open football. He stated that was his recortmendation.
Ms. Mattson stated that would be terrific. She statei they are not at the

The only site on Jay Park capable of containing a general skating
area is directly over the existing infield. The maximum size would be
very sub-standard allawing approximately 75 feet by 100 feet (*) that
could be regraded without altering the entire west end of the pntk.
Anything larger would require an extensive oostly regrading project.
�: �'::: •. •�.�►
Regrading to allow for the above would require the moving of
approximately 160 cubic yards of soil. Dquipment and labor necessary to
shape the site would oost apgroximately S700.00. (**)
� : I�IY�� : ►.�1� ��•�I
Routine maintenance for one general skating area would involve the
use of the follawing equipment and estimated time for the season:
- Tanker - base preparation: estimated 10 taurs
- Tanker - daily maintenance: 21 hours
- Saeeper - daily maintenance: 21 hours
- Plow/Loader - daily maintenance: 21 hours
All hours are average because of the unknown winter conditions. The
costs of labor and equipnent for maintenance would cost approximately
52,200.00.
•i�. �: : �►•;:
If we were to regrade this area to accomodate a general skating
site, there w�ould be extensive turf damage tcounter productive to our
existing turf r�nagement program), plus a good probability that the ball
field would remain wetter for longer periods of time thus reducing
r�otmal sumner usage activities.
The attached level direct rod readings show that ingress/egress to
the site would be very difficult. The drop in grade would be
approximatly 2 1/2 feet in 30 foot distance which would be very
difficult for equipment entry/exit during winter oonditions.
Hesides the aforementioned oonsiderations, it should be noted that
our present winter schedule is taxed to its limits aad i feel that
without additional full time personnel or authorization of overtime
expansion of our winter sctiedule at this time would result in reduction

1. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. �82_-07, BY DENNIS AND CHRISTINE MORLEY: Split off
t e South 118 feet of Lot 2, alock , Spring lake Par� Lakes�de (1524 Osborne
Road) to make a new buildin site, 7625 Brigadoon N.E. (which includes a 25'
street and utility easement�.
Mr. Deblon stated the property in question is located between Brigadoon Place
and Osborne Road to the east of Arthur St. The property is a rather deep lot with
an existing house located towards the center of the lot. the lot having a double
frontage;consequently the potential for double assessments. He felt this was the
impetus for the lot split.
Mr.Deblon stated the land proposed to be split off ineets all the zoning require-
ments for a new buildable site as sketched. He wanted to emphasiie that the sub-
division ordinance at this point in tirt�e calls only for a sk etch. The reason for
this is because the hearing process may bring about changes, and it would be very
expensive for the applicant to have the property resurveyed. There is no existing
survey at ttiis point in time.
Mr. Aeblon stated that one of the concerns expressed by Staff was that the exist-
ing property does have an existing non-conforming use of an unimproved driveway.
The Zoning Code calls for a hard surfaced driveway. At this time, the City would
like to bring that driveway up to code.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, DECEMBER 8, i982 PAGE 2
Ms. Gabel stated the existing driveway was approx. 100 ft. long. It would be an
enormous expense to resurface that driveway.
Mr. Goodspeed stated he did look at this property. He stated this is quite a
nice neighborhood, and he felt just having a new house on that empty lot would be
more of a service to the City, without also requiring the owners to put in a hard
surface driveway.
Mr. Saba stated he agreed with the concept and could understand Staff's point of
view in trying to take these kinds of opportunities to bring things up to code,
but he felt it was an unreasonable request in this tase because of the length of
the driveway.

MEMOAANDUM
ACTIONI iNFO•
The Morleys requested to have their lot split at the December 8, 1982 Planning
Commission meeting. 7heir current home does not have a paved driveway off of
Osborne Road. This item was discussed with the Planning Commission but was
not stipulated in their action.
We have been attempting to obtain zoning code compliance of paved driveways
whenever possible. Since their property will now be divided and sold, it would
appear prudent to require this construction. Hardsurfacing is necessary to
reduce street maintenance, sewer cleaning, street sweeping and increased safety
on the traveled way.
Recommend the City Council require the driveway on 1524 Osborne Road be paved
and the Park Fee of �500.be paid if they approve the lot split.

Tbe ataff has no atipulatioaa it the Board decidea to approve thia
�ariaace.
Mr. Mike Anderson from Northwest Fabrics was present for this matter. He sub-
mitted drawings of the proposed sign and Mr. Hill submitted pfiotographs of the
area. Mr. Anderson stated they are new in the Twin Cities and are establishing
their identity in the area and their store next to Target is difficult to see
from some parts of the freeway. Ms. Gabel asked if people coming into Target is
beneficial for them and Mr. Anderson said they have a lot of built-in traffic
but they get a lot of calls asking where they are located in Fridley. Mrs. Gerou
asked if tfie wall sign is the only sign they have and he said it is and people
coming in from the West do not see anything at all. Ms. Gabel asked what type of
material the sign would be made of and he said it will be an inner-illuminated
plastic sign made of the same material that the Target sign is ma�e of. Ms. Gabel
asked him about the colors and he said they will be yellow and black, like the
watl sign. Mr. Plemel asked if the sign would help people coming North and Mr.
Anderson said probably not. Mr. Barna felt they would be better off tying their
advertising into Target and could not see where the sign would do any good at all
to be placed in the proposed location and felt the only benefit would be on the
side street. He felt it would be better to have signs on the two sides of their
building - to just put up another wall sign. Ms. 6abe1 said she could see the
need for a sign and she didn't have any problem giving Northwest Fabrics a means
of identifying themselves and that the Commission members had gone and driven
around the store and they are aNare of the problem and but she felt the proposed
sign was not the answer to that problee. Mr. Anderson said their other stores
are closer to the street and they don't have this problem with their other stores.
Ms. Gabel asked him if he would like them to continue this matter to give him an
opportunity to research something better.
SI
Appeals Commission Meeting - November 16, 1982 Page 3
Mr. Anderson said they have only been open three weeks and, judging from the
addresses on the check, their business comes in South from Fridley and East and
West from 694 and they don't have much business coming in from Columbia Heights.
He said they felt it would be to their advantage to have a sign to help identify
them from 694 and north of Central Avenue. Ms. Gabel said they do have the need
for identification but it is hard to get freeway or road identification and the
best thing they can do is to let people know they are located next to Target.
Mr. Hill asked him if they have talked to Target about a wall sign and Mr. Anderson
said he was sure that all avenues were researched and that Target is not that
flexible and he would like the Comnission to go ahead and deal with this matter.
At this time, Ms. Gabel introduced a public hearing notice that was sent to the
Appeals Comnission regarding this matter. The letter was not signed but had the
message "Sinage in general is ugly. Biaqer signs are uglier I object and Meadow
Run Apts. objects"(sic)_and a�business card with Richard �udali's n�me�stapled'�t�
the notice.

rega�ing this matter. UPON A VOICE,VOTE ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DE-

A� 7:50 P.M.
Discussion: Mr. Barna felt that the sign is not going to do that much good but
he would not object to the sign. Ms. Gabel felt this is not too much signage
but did not think it was the solution to their identification problem and felt
they have a valid need to identify their store. Mr. Plemel felt they didn't have
too many alternatives and the sign is well done and unobtrusive and he would be
in favor of the sign. Mrs. Gerous and Mr. Betzold were both in favor.
MOTION by Mr. Betzold, seconded by Mr. Plemel, that the Appeals Commission recommend
to the City Council, through the Planning Commission, approval of the request to
increase the square footage of a free standing sign from a legal non-conforming
sign of 144 square feet to 216 square feet, to allow a new tenant to add to this
sign, located on part of Lots 10, 11, and 12, Auditor's Subdivision No. 155, the

C. �DlI�ISTR�TIIIB ST�FF RBYIgii:
?he eziating free atanding sign vaa installed under 33ga Persit
i10522 on DecemDer 5, 1969, after approval Dy the Citr Couneil on
December 1. 1969 to vary the aign aise from a maximum of 100 square
teet to 159 s4uare feet. Some Lime around tt�e end ot OctoDer. 1982,
an 8 foot s� foot chaageable mesaage center aign vas installad at
tDis location. It was brought to Burger 1Cing'a attention thaL any
nerr inatalled sign requires a Sign Permit and aince tbis aign would
increaae tbe total area of all aigna to 191 aquare feet, a nex
variance xou:d havr to be granied Defore the �oroiL cauld be Sasued.
Don L. Yancey and Ashok Mehta were present for this matter. Mr. Clark explained
that in 1969 the maximum for a sign was 100 square feet and now it is 80 square
feet. Mr. Yancey said they are asking for a 16 square foot variance and it was
his understanding that if they took down the "drive-thru" sign they eould then
put up the additional sign. He presented the Commission with a list of hard-
ships and discussed some of them. He stated that there is a dead-end fronta9e
road at Burger King, which sits far back off the road and the marquee is not
visible from the highway. Mr. Yancey said that by advertising daily specials
and listing the store hours gives people a reason to go there. He further stated
sales as a hardship and that for many years the store has lost money and that
the company took back the franchise. He said since tfie sign has been up they
have had a substantial increase in sales. He stated that their research has
shown that stores in the area that have marquees (such as Northtown) have a
33% increase in sales and that the increase in sales means additional employees,
revenue and taxes.
Ms. Gabel asked how long the sign has been up and Mr. Mehta said about three weeks.
Ms. Gabel felt it would be difficult to determine the sales increase in that short
of time and wondered if their recent television advertising had more to do with
that, Mr. Yancey said their television advertising is not included in their sales
figures. Mr. Mehta showed the Commission a sales chart and �r. Yancey said their
ad was done on the 28th and showed the Commission which stores have had the
marquees and increase in sales and further felt that the increase in sales was
directly attributable to the marquees. He also stated that they need to increase
their customer count to keep the business afloat and it was very st9nificant
that they display their hours of operation.
Mr. Yancey said the "drive-thru" sign is 24 square feet and the new message sign
is 32 square feet. Mr.Plemel asked why no one considered talking to the staff
6efore they put up tF�e new sign. Mr. Yancey said they talked to Steve Olson.
Ms. Ga6e1 said that Burger King is a large organization and should know about
the process of putting up stgns. Mr. Yancey said that Arrow Sign Company is
putting up the signs for them and it is their responsibi]ity and apparently
there was a communication breakdown.. i�s. Gabel said Arrow Sign Company is
aware of the permits needed and M�. Yancey said they took down the "drive-thru"
sign and put up the message sign. _
5N
A�peals Commission Meeting - November 30, 1982 Page 3
Ms. Gabel stated that t�eir present sign was grandfathered in but the new sign
is not and their sign is presently 96 feet out of code. She stated this puts
the Commission in a difficult position and they have been given a variance once
and she understood that businesses like Burger King had different sizes of signs
for the codes in various cities and asked if they could make their sign smaller.
Mr. Yancey said he didn't know how many years' profit it would take to do this.
Ms. Gabel said she was surprised that this message sign would generate this type
of business and further stated that they have a problem with setting a precedent
by allowing larger signs. She explained to Mr. Yancey and Mr. Mehta about the
Sign Cortmittee and the City re-writing the sign code and that it was determined
that there would be problems with signs with all the major thoroughfares running
through the community. She stated the Cortmission always winds up in a bind with
this type of request as they can understand the position of the business.
Mr. Yancey said this Burger King should have been.closed years ago but they think
they can bring it back and another hardship is the Center City project falling
tfirough. Ms. Gabel said the City is still working on that project and it has
been a very slow process but eventually something will happen and they could
depend on that in the future.
Ms. Gabel asked what the cost was for the new sign and Mr. Yancey said it was
�3,500 installed. He also said he understood what Ms. Gabel was saying but that
they do not have an ugly sign and it is only 16 additional square feet and
Mr. Dtehta said it would be underneath their main sign. Mr. Yancey said that the
"Golden Arches" down the road stick out and Ms. Gabel said they are not there
to get involved with their war with r�cDonalds and that is part of their problem --
if the Commission grants a request like this then someone else will come in with
the same requesL and it wi11 get out af cantrol -- there are too many businesses
up and down University Avenue that could come in with the same requests.
Mr. Plemel said it is not just 16 additional square feet •- that the oriqinal
variance was from 100 to 159 feet and now the code is 80 square feet and the
present sign is atmost double what the code is. Mr. Clark stated that the permit
reads for the original logo sign at 11'10" X 13'S" and further explained that the
"drive-thru" sign was probably considered by the City as a directional sign and
those signs are exempt from the sign code and felt that this directional "drive-
thru" sign should not be a part of this discussion or have a bearing on the
Commission's considerations.
MOTION by Nrs. Gerou, seconded by Mr. Barna, to close the public hearing. UPON A
VOICE VOtE, ACL YOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON 6ABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARIN6 CLOSED
AT 7:55 P.M.
Discussion: Mrs. Gerou stated they are asking for 32 square foot variance and
Ms. Gabel said they are actually 96 feeL out of code. Mr. Plemel said this is
difficult as he could see the need but felt the Commission should hold the line
on this request and the first variance should be sufficient. He stated that is
the worst � area in Fridley as it is full of commercial enterprise and there would
definitely be problems if they all came in and asked for additional signage.
Mr. Betzold said he was sympathetic to Burger King's needs but granting this
request would end up being no�-stop and the sign code has got a purpose and they
should continue with that purpose.

�peals Commission Meeting - November 30, 1982 PAGE 4
Mr. Barna felt it was very difficult to refute their claims that the sign has
increased their business (their sales papers showed that) and that strip on
University Avenue is a problem, there are 4-5 businesses stuck back there, and
felt that if they can use a sign to get people in off University they would help
themselves and other businesses, too.
MOTION by Mr. Betzold, seconded by Mr. Plemel, that the Appeals Commission recortanend
to tTie City Council, through the Planning Comnission, denial of the request to
increase the square footage of a free standing sign from 159 square feet to 191
square feet, on part of Lot 1� Sylvan Hills Plat 5, the same being 6410 University
Avenue N.E., Fridley, Minnesota, 55432. UPON A VOICE YOTE, ALL VOTING AYE,
CHAIRPERSON GA6EL DEC�q RED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
At this time, Mr. Betiold clarified that this motion was made based upon previous
procedures and policies of the Commissian in keeping the sign code in order and
that this sign has already been granted one variance and to grant this variance
would make this sign significantly out of code.

IM. Matz handed out a Memorandum d�afted by Mr. Herbst regardin� tome �ninor tha�yes

�ny other state or federal angency or court Aaving �urisdiction. The City and
Storer shall cooperate in seekin9 any necess�rr approv�ts or waivers f�om the FCC."
Section 2.11 �9e� �10- - Add words at the end of the lest sentente "and does
not inc ude any refundabTe deposits.`
Section 3.018 11ne 10 - Strike words 'that Mhich shall provide the greatest
benef t to C ty sha prevail as determined by the Ctty" and insert "this Agreement
shall prevail.'
Sectton 3.020, lest ltne - Strtke 'activated subscriber receivable."
At this point. Mr. 8elgum asked �bout Minneapolls Aaving 110 thannels and
F�idley having S4 channels. Mr. Matz what Mi�neapolis can support may not be
feasible in Fridley. Ms. Bremer satd the flexible Mording wi11 •llow the City and
the Company to be flexible; tAat this is just a �atniawm.
Srction 3.04, line 3, �a9e 17 • Strikc "of" and insert "oti+ned by."
Mr. Kaspszak asked about t�e subscriber contract being for 12 months and if
it is automatically renewable. Mr. Matz said it ts only for 12 nwnths and Storer
is in the process of re-writing some of those provisions. Ms. 6remer said they
do not �ow have a time fran►e in the tontract. Mr. Matt explained t�at the language
is �equired by the State G b1e Board.
Section 4.08,_,paae 22. line 3- Strlkt •pirtitipate 1n" �nd tnsert 'negotiate.`
Also strike "abide pjr City's requests for lnterconnection and sfiall. ..•

the end of the last line to Section 4.�.
Section 4.11, paqe 23. line 10 - Strike "at City's option, in �n order to" an0
insert 'in accordance with Section 7.07C, tn a reduction of.'
llr. Belgum asked if the Company developed the techntcat stuff in Sectio� 4.10
a�d Mho �evised it. Mr. Matx said he and Nr, tterbst revised it and they compared it
to the technical standards �ith the Korthwest Suburbs and they exceed FCC requirements.
�Secti�n 7.02A, page 32 - At the end of thls tlause. insert 'City �g�ees to
�naintain the confidentiality of this document.'
There was �nuch discussion reyardin9 this additton and Ms. Hughes Manted this flagged
for the Ctty Council. She felt tt ras not protected because tt is a federal report
and because of the freedom of Information Act. Both Mr. 8eattie anG Mr. MatZ dis-
•g�eed. Mr. 8eattle felt the info�mation contained in Form 326 is extremely pro-
prietary information and of the utaast confidential nature and subject to �11 sorts
of disclosure p�obtems; an ext�ea�e example is tndustrtal espiona9e.

CJITY Advisory Commtssion Meetino - November 9. 1982 Pace 3
Sectton 7.02D. page 34 - Mr. Mat= said the tompany has a toncern �egarding the
ri9ht to 'copy' the cooks and records of Storer: Mr. Beattie sald they feel ve�y
stron�ly �bout it and they Aave no problems 9ivin9 the C1ty and tts officers and
Commission rfiat it needs but they don't believe the use of Form 326 �oes to un-
li�aited copying and the Company wants to strike the words "and copy. Mr. Belgum
�sked 1f this Kas an exceptional �equest �nd Ms. Bremer sald it Mas. At tAis time
the Minnesota Statute Chapter 15 was discussed. Mr. Kaspszak asked what 1f he was
not a a►ember of the Commission, could the Company �efuse him those �ecords.
Mr. Beattie satd that is what they Mant because of the D�ta Privacy Act. Mr. Matz
felt this was an lssue that tould not be resolved here. 'Mr. Kaspszak felt Mhat
Mas being said ts that Commission members can have access to that information but
the generai public cannot. Ms. Sremer said this is the only document the Company
is asking protectton. Ms. Hughes felt Mr: Kaspszak had some good points and they
should �eserve judgment on this.
MOTION Dy Mr. Kaspszak. seconded by Mr. Be19um. to flag Section 7.02 �nd �.02D.
pages 32 �nd 34 of the Franchise Agreement, to the City Council for their consi-
deration. UPON A VOICE YOTE. ALL VOTING A1FE. YICE-CHAIRMAN PETERSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Section B.OIA. Da9e 43, line 1- Strike "in all events." Mr. Kaspszak �sked
Mhat would happen if t�e FCC ruled that special services (i.e. banktn9) will be
removed from the definition of gross revenue in terms of a franchise, would the
contract prevail. Mr. Matz said that would depend on the wording of the FCC
actton and Section 13.038 would do the same thing as the �+ords "in a11 events.'
Section 8.02E. �a9e 45. tine 4- Correct spellin9 of word "registered.'
Section 9.01 a�ee 53 • Add �ew clause 'C. 6rantee reserves the �ight to
collect a refundab e deposit on any and all converters."
Section 10.02, page 56 - The last sentence shalt read •In the event City de-
cides to purchase pursuant to this section. the price shail be the bona fide offe�.'
Mr. Matz said this was changed as a matter of fairness to the Company.
Section 10.03B, paQe 56 - This was stricken because of 10.02.
Section 10.04A.2. a e 57 line 7- Strike "book value" to the end of sentence
and i�sert "fair a►arket value not tnc udin9 the value of the F�anchise."
Ms. Hughes thought this was another a�ea tAat was left open-ended and Mr. Matz felt
tt was agreed upon at the last Negotiating Committee a�eetin9. Ms. Hughes wanted
thts item fl agged for the tity Counctl.
At this time, Ms. 6remer brcught up lhat Starer and Mr. Meuller have detided it wculd
be reasonable to provide additional funQs for the City - s5,000 for access-related
purposes - end this is in addition to the txistinq 55.697.00. Sn the spirit of con-
cluding the negotiations. Mr. Kaspszak asked if Storer Mould continue tts policy
of �+atching tt+e Morksfiop in its fundraiser. Ms. Bremer said they fiave no plans of
thangin9 that. Mr. Moravetz suggested, in the sptrit of concluding negotiations,
s5.000 per year of tfie franchise. Ms. 8remer said they Mere talking about s one-
tiaie grant of =5.000.

to the conttnuance of the Franchise. Such consent sha11 not be unreasonably
Mithheld by either party. Any such termination rill occur only after following the
procedures set forth in the franchise applicable to te�minatio�."
At this time. Mr. Moravetz dtscussed the funds for the workshop (page 21). Mr. Matz
satd they would prefer to see that go directly to the workshop rather than through
the City because the FCC has a SX franchise fee ceiling and this would have to be
included in that 5x and he thought the Company had a legitimate concern there.
Ms. Hu hes asked if he meant that they should delete Doth of those (s5.000 and
=5.697�. Mr. Belgum felt this issue should be clarified so they do �ot lose mo�ey
througfi a technicality. Mr. Kaspszak felt this should be flagged for the Council.
Ms. Hughes suggested that they put in langu�ge what the company is offerin9 ri9ht
now and flag it to the Councll wlthout reconmendation. �
Ms. Bremer stated, tn the spt�it of tlarification. regarding the s5,000 grant.
that Mr. Mueller asked a direct question tf this Mas tied to the acceptance of the
'fair market value" language and that Mr. Mueller's agreement to provide �ddi-
tlonal �noney is that he recognizes that local programmin9 ts the key to cable in
Fridley and he is not buying the "fair market value" provtsion with this 9rant;
these provisions are not tied together. Ms. Hughes �greed rith that.
MOTION by Mr. Belgum� seconded by Ms. Hughes. to change the last paragraph tn
Sectfion 4.04 of the Franchise Agreement. page 21. to �ead: "Storer furthe� agrees
to provide to a non-profit torporation or corporations. designated by the City.

Section 7.05 Ma s a9e 35 - Mr. Matz said there was a question regardin9

to notify the City staff or Comnission within 30 days or a week. etc.j. Ms. Bremer
asked if that would be covered by the 30-day provision. Mr. Matz suggested that
Storer 9ive `reasonable notice " and to discuss this Mtth Ms. Bremer �t another time.
Ms. Nughes said she had some reports trom !he Kegotiating Committee that ahe would
like to �eview. She stated the major recommendation is that the franchise rould
be a 5-year f�anchise and they would consider ea�ly renewai (after the service has
proved operational). The RFP laid out specific initial requirements that Mere
responded to by Storer Nith certain documents and those �esponses are tnctudea

Mr. Matz said the Negotiating Committee fett very strong aDout this and they wanted
to avoid marking premium servite independent of basic servite. Ms. Hughes said
they felt it was essential to 9uarantee that se�vice.

MOTION by Ms. Hughes to for�►ard the Rate Ordinance as amenaed to the City Council
for t�ie Public Hearing on Monday. November 15. 1982. with our preliminary
recomnendations. No second.
Mr. Kaspszak felt there may pe some additional input at the public hearing that they
may have missed and he woutd like to reserve action until after the public hea�ing.
Mr. BeTgum asked Mr. Matz how many of the documents were �eady for forwarding and
Mr. Matz felt they alt were �eady for fo nvarding. Mr. Betgum asked what the public
hearing was to accomplish and Mr. Matz explained that it is a requirement of the
Charter and to soticit any public lnput:
!!r. Hunt said normally if there is a matter that has gone through the Commission.
the City Council expects a �ecommendation and lhat it could be a quslified re-
commendation. Ms. Hughes said she ras �ot sure� from the Negotiating Committee
standpoint, that the touncil was expectln� a recommendation at this ttme.
Mr. Belgum said he �+ould like to move that the Commission forward to the City
Council, for purpose of use at the Pub11c Hearing, the franchise documents and
his reason for making a motion would be that Mr. MatZ said the documents are ready
fo� suDmission. Mr. 6elgum felt that Comission has contributed maximum effort but
they are not �eady to recomnend all �t this point. Ks. Hughes said she was un-
comfortable Mith that •nd Mr. Kaspszak said there ts no obligation that they have
to �nake a recommendation. Mr. Peterson said he vas fairly happy Mith most of the
documents but he was �ot ready to recortmend them. Ms. Hughes said they are being

asked to recommend something for the public Aearin9. Mr. Hunt felt they Commission
could �ot �ecortn►end for public hearing as the p�blic heari�g Mill 6e held anyway
but there �re some things that coutd be �ecommended and the thin9s that are �ot
recommended can be brought to the attention ot the City Council.
Mr. Kaspszak brought up educational'�ccess and Ms. Hughes said they discussed
the benefits for educationsl access in the franchlse and they decided not to do
anything more than accept the company's offering in that regard. Mr. Kaspszek
stated this was opposite to the Commission's point ot view. Ms. Hughes atated
that the schools had �ot indicated they needed anything and the Negotiating Committee
felt they could offer something whether or not they needed it and they chose not
to �ake an issue of that. Mr. Kaspszak said he is favor of granting the franchise.
but not necessarily in favor of the documents. Ms. Hughes said other commissions
pass things along with stipulations and the Negotiating Committee is �ot lnter-
ested in rushing this process and is willing to let it ride for a while until
they can get the Commission decisions. Mr. Moravetz said the recommendations of
the Negotiating Committee are found in these documents and the Commission has had
these documents for�several weeks except for some �inor �evisions. Mr. Matz
suggested that the Cortmission could recommend these documents Mith certain stipu-
lations which would at least provide the Council with some 9uidance or they could
schedule another �eeting next week. Mr. Kaspszak said he was personally in favor
of postponing the public hearing. Ms. Hughes said the Council has to do tAat
�nd suggested the Commission go back throu9h a11 the documents.
Mr. Peterson questioned the access time on page 30 of the O�dinance and Mr. Matt
said that it is �equired State Cable Board language. Ms. Breme� satd in the
offering they indicate that air time. studio time. equipment usage. staff. Mill
be available free of charge for access users �nd it does have the force of law.
Mr. Matz said the Company is required to adopt the rules �egarding use of atcess
channels and they have to be filed with the City and State Cable Board and they
woutd encompass what Mr. Peterson is conce�ned about.
Mr. K,aspszak said he would De co�nfortablt with a p�eliminary recommenQation and
to have one aiore Cortmtsston meetin9 for additions and detetions and • vote.
MOTION by M�. Kasps2ak. seconded by Mr. 6elgum, that the CATY Advisory Commission

tion for approval, to the City Council for their review and for pu�poses of review

At this time. l�s. Hughes asked for a roll ca11: Present - Ouane Peterson, Sarbara

Mr. 6eattte suggested that Commission members make their comnents at the public

specifies the bond requirement and authorized the Association to determine
the Bond amounts. The current Bond amounts were set by the Board. The

FROM PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR, J.P.HI
SUBJECT
ANIMAL CONTROL CONTRACT - 1983
10
MEMORANDUM
TO ACTION INFO
NASIM QURESHI, CITY MANAGER X
Enclosed is the negotiated animal control contract with MAPSI for 1983.
It is my recommendation that City Council approve the contract as
negotiated.
The contract was negotiated with Mr. Frank Pucci, Manager of MAPSI
who is a court appointed receiver of MAPSI and former mayor of
St. Louis Park.
COST FACTORS:
a. Base fee for administrative services is a new cost for 1983 in
the amount of $100 per month. This fee has been negotiated down
from a request of $150 per month.
b. Patrol service, $14.00 per hour was negotiated down from a
request of $16.50 per hour and represents an increase.of $2.00
per hour over 1982 rates.
_- c.
a.
Boarding, $5.00 per 24 hours represents an increase of $1.00
over 1982 rates.
Destroying, $7.00 per animal represents an increase of $1.00
over 1982 rates.
e. Special call outs, $14.00 per call, negotiated down from a
request of $16.50. This represents an increase of $3.00 over
1982 rates.
SALIENT POINTS:
1. Animal contract bids were not sought since MAPSI is the only
known area contract service that provide the services required
by the city.
10 A
Memorandum
To: Nasim Qureshi, City Manager
Date: December 7, 1982
Paqe �2
2. Alternatives to animal control in Anoka County are currently
under study. The MAPSI contract can be canceled within 30 days
should a more cost effective system be developed.
3. Despite the significant increase for 1983, the negotiated rates
are below those being proposed to other comparable sized
communities at this time by MAPSI.
4. The increase can be funded in the 1983 animal control budget by
reducing the number of patrol hours, if necessary.
5. The 1982 animal control budget is $16,592. The 1982 estimated
expenditure is $12,000 due to a reduction in patrol hours to
accommodate state aid shortfalls. The 1983 proposed contract
reflects approximately a$3,000 increase or 25�.

Dear t:a.yor and Council �iembers,
December 1. 1932
Attn: City i:anager
I a� writing to infor�: you that 1,�APSI has under�one an ownership
and management change. We believe we can now better serve the
animal coatrol need of your couununity.
Past managenent was beset with extrec:e increases in overhead and
hampered with the inability to raise capital tnrough contract
increases or other sources to meet these rapidly escallating costs.
T�e :4APSI facility was completely renovated in �p72, and a new
addition built in 1976. i�e are presently refreslYin� t�e entire
facility includins physical and oecnanical enl�ancec.ents..
��e will be instituting a new higher wage scale that we feel will
increase the productivity and professionalis�n of the :riAPSI employ-
ees. ��e will be purchasing a new fleet of trucks and updating
our two-way radio equipment.
These changes, a new capital base and new manage�ent philosophy
will, we feel, accor_�odate our business needs aad allow us to serve
your community needs in a more effecient and professional ma.nner.
1Fe are enclosing copies of our proposed 1983, contract for animal
control service. You will note a new category in the contract
entitled Base Fee for Administrative Services. It is necessary
to add this category to our schedule of char�es. As I mentioned
before, the expenses of the animal control business have greatly
outpaced the income; re�retfully, this is a necessary additional
charge.
Please execute the enclosed contract and return it to me before
December 31, 1982. If you have any questions about the contract
or suggestions on how we may improve our service to S•our comc�unity,
please contact me. I will be glaci to �ersonally visit your city
and go over the contract and our proceedures. Thank you.

PROPERTY-CASUALTY INSURANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT SERVICE
BIDS FOR THE CITY OF FRIDLEY
During 1982 the City staff has been undertaking a comprehensive review
of our risk management procedures. Jim Hill, Sid Inman, Bill Hunt and
Tony Roach have served on a special task force for this purpose. The
City has contracted with Control Data Business Advisers, Inc. through
David Evert, and CDBA has engaged Andrew Whitman, Ph.D., J.D. as a
special consultant. Dr. Whitman has assisted the City staff in drawing
up bid specifications for the insurance package and evaluating the bids
received.
In 1982 the premium for all property and casualty insurance for the
City of Fridley was �244,184. The following bids have been received
for 1983: � �

It is the recommendation of City staff that the insurance contract be

I have also attad�ed another meno fran Mr. Sinda asking for a 5100 8onation

well spent since the praposeci chan9e in the State Afd Formule Would mean a
uare equitable aistribution for the City o� FridleY.

The Metropolitan Losers' Group and the Association of Small Cities
have been �orking through theo���G=tchangesethat i1lLmakeethe
Minnesota Cities to gain supp
state aid formula IDore equitable. The lobbying efforts of the
League of Minnesota Cities would be vital in gaining the necessary
legislative changes.
The issue has been raised and acted upon by the Revenue Resource
CoIIanittee. By a vote of 14 to 6, this comnittee reco�ended that
the state aid formula be changed. Several options. based on per
capita and ecisioneas toehowethewformula should betchanged.unable
to reach a d
The recomflendation of the Revenue Resource Committee. to change the
state sid fozmula, was then forwarded to the League of Minnesota
Cities Board of Directors. At this level the committee decision
�as reversed. and the existing LMC policy was stressed--no
legislative change is to be considered vntil it has been first
reviewed and approved by the League.
It appears that the board decision was based. not so much on the
�erits of the recom�ended change. but on the issue itself. From the
viewpoint of inembers of the board, the matter is too hot. too volatile�
and a delve into change threatens to aplit the League of Minnesota
Cities. This� they feel, vould be detrimental to all cities.
The issue will be brought to the Lea gue of Minnesota �eipurposeslative
conference to be held January 2b.ral8�embershiPBto�change or ratify
of the conference is for the gene P
the recoc�mendations of the Board of Directors.
Without question the existfn state aid fu�ilforsaichangeathat isd
affected cities must be pers�8o=tance that every city be present at
equitable. It is of vital imp
the January 26 confezence to vote foz a change in the state aid
formula.
Your vote, and the assistance of any other city that you may be able
to contact and influence, will be greatly appreciated and can have
a great impact.

RE: Lobbying for Change in State Aid Formula
The Losers' Group met on Tuesday� November 30. and by concensus
agreed to formally organize the group by establishing officers and
a budget to cover expenses (clerical� typing, postage� etc.)
The purpose of the organization� as you know, is to deal with the
inequities of fiscal disparities and state aid. In order for us
to continue in that pursuit, �e are requesting that each city
contribute dues in the amount of $100 per year. The objective is
not to build a long lasting, ongoing organization, but to disband
after achieving our goals. We appreciate your assistance in this
effort.
Secondly� please ask your council to review and adopt the sample
resolution that is enclosed. As you may well understand, provisiona
of this resolution are not "cast in stone." nor do they represent the
precise opinion of each member city. They do. however, repzesent a
starting position for negotiation with the Legislature.
It is important that these resolutions be returned to us by Dec. 31,
1982 so that they may be used as a tool to take to the Legislature.
We ask, also� that group members sit down with senators and
representatives in thefr district, show them the resolution. explain
the problems at hand, and ask for their support.
The Losers' Group will soor make arrangements to i�ave a bill drafted.
�Te� along With representatives from the Association of Small Cities,
will then schedule a special lobbying breakfast in January, a unique
opportunity to muster the support of legislators while introducing the
bill.
For utmost effect� it is imperative that each cfty send representatives
to the breakfast and, pzior to that, do whatever possible to solicit
attendance and support of district legislators. Additional information
in regard to the breakfast will be forthcoming.
If you know of any legislators willing to sponsor or co-sponsor such a
bill, please let us know. Ylease �call my office if there are any
questions. and I would be happy to discuss them with you.
