RESOLUTION ND. 29-1982 TO THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL ID1 OPPOSITION TO THEIR c�rnn�n i.inrrn nnmm�rrnnrniT ni ne.i_ Mr. Flora, Public Works �irector, stated the Leg�slature passed a bill dealing with surface water management in the metropolitan area, th�s past session, however, the Metropolitan Council is preparing to adopt its own storm water management plan which accelerates the formation of watersheds, establishes more Metropolitan Council control over the plans and calls for an increased levy limit to support centralized storm water planning. Mr. Flora stated the Metropolitan Council's proposal would result in increased costs to the taxpayer, especially those such as Fridley, who already have an established watershed dtstrict. �vlr. Flora stated Fridley now has three creeks not included in any overall watershed and is planning to have ineetings w�th the adjacent communit�es to see how to deal with these areas, as they have until �ecember, 1983 to determine a course of action. Councilman Fitzpatr�ck stated he d�dn't feel the problem w�th the creeks is adequately addressed. He felt the Metropolitan Council's proposal might be going around the legtslative process, but something needs to be done in terms of the creeks �n Fridley, as even the one covered by the R�ce Creek 6Jatershed District �sn't adequately taken care of. Mr. Flora stated there is currently a proposal being subinitted to the Rice Creek Watershed District to restudy and prepare a compreh�nsive plan for the distrtct which would establish, not only internal municipal control, but operation and maintenance of the entire watershed d�strict, He felt the State law is forcing them to look at the creeks and to do sornethiny about them. Councilman Schnetder stated he felt there def�nitely was a problem, and very few cit�es liked the response of the Watershed District, but didn't want to establish other agencies of government. }n � � �� � �,i �i Fi COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 19, 1982 PAGE 11 Mr Herr�ck, City Attorney, stated it was obvious the problem of surface water management Nras not getting solved by the municipals acting on their own.

MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatr�ck to approve the licenses as subm�tted and 'as on f�le in the License Clerk's Office, �nclud�ng all liquor licenses, wtth the exception of all the ,7unkyard licenses. Seconded by Councilman Hamerm k. Mr. Weiss, owner of Sandee's Restaurant, asked why a dollar figure was reGuested �n the license appl7cation. He felt the percentage figure in relation to food and liquor sales should be sufficient. Mr. Inman, City Clerk, stated the State law regarding l�censes changed as of January 1, and the only thing that �s public on the appl�catton is the name and address of the person applying for the license. He stated the ord�nance refers only to a percentage f�gure, and not a dollar amount, and the City's concern is that the auditor certifies the percentage of food sales in relat�on to l�quor sales. Mayor fJee suggested that Mr. Weiss discuss th�s inatter with the C�ty Clerk, and poss�bly the dollar figure wouldn't need to be included on the license application. �'t_I COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 19, 1982 PAGE 13 The owner of Geroge's in Fr�dley questioned the increase in the license fee. He stated it went up �3,000 from �6,000 to $9,00O3 and felt this was a drastic �ncrease in one year's time. P1r. Quresh�, City hianager, stated the last increase tn these fees was in August, 1977. He stated the Council's position was to try to raise revenue, wherever appropriate, where specialized services are involved. The owner of George's asked if the fee had to be paid in one lump sum. � Mr. Qureshi stated, by collecting this fee at two different times, it would enta�l more cost and m�nimize the�revenue recetved. The owner of Shorewood Inn stated the liquor business isn't as great as it used to 6e and they w�ll have another State tax beginning May 1, and by raising the license fee, it isn't helping, but destroying the�r business. Councilman Fitzpatrick suggested the administration bring �n a report on the impact, if license fees were to be received rn two payments, and th�s item could probably be considered the next time the licenses are issued. P1r. Inman stated the liquor license fee was one of the few that hacln't gone up each year, but others have gone up steadily each year. He stated, however, the same factors were used in determining the increase in the liquor license fee, as were used �n determim ng the increases �n other fees. UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE h10TI0N, all voted aye, and Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. Upon Mayor Nee's request, Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, explained a procedure to be used in con,7unction wtth the annual ,7unkyard license � application as a means of working with these establishments to obtain compl�ance with the City codes. Mr. Flora felt perhaps, through the licensing procedure, the Council could stipulate certain conditions which would have to be met in the ensu�ng year or the l�cense wouldn't be favora6ly looked upon next year. Mr. Flora stated at least three letters have been written to all the property owners, numerous on-site inspection made, and discussions on some of the problems at each particul�ar location. He felt, with the issuance of the license, it may be appropriate to discuss compliance w�th the code for these esta6lishments. Mayor Nee asked if the code can't be enforced now, and how the ltcense question would make �t easier. Mr. Flerrick, City Attorney, stated he didn't think there was any quest�on about enforcing the law, but he hasn't been approached. He suggested if there is concern about these businesses, there should be a very specif�c list made of what has to be done to br�ng each property up to code. He felt there should be a meeting w�th these owners, where m�nutes are kept, and the staff reviews, in detail, what improvements must be made, and the owners are given a time period to have the u�ork completed, He stated, if the nnprovements are not made within a certain � per�od of t�me, an action could then be started, with supporting back- ground material , to show the def�ciencies and what they are attempting to accomplish and ask the court for an order for revocatton of the license. COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIf 19, 1982 PAGE 14 Mr. Herrick felt the staff should work Un th his office regard�ng any deficiencies and to be specific where they are requ��ed by the ordinance. Mr. Qureshi suggested tabling the ,7unkyard licenses to the hlay 17 meeting. h10TI0N by Counctlman Fitzpatrick to table the ,7unkyard licenses to the May 17, 1982 meeting for a report by the admim strat�on. Seconded by Councilman Qarnette. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee � declared the mot�on carried unanimously. The owner of Central Auto Parts felt they didn't have any problems with their operation, but rented some land and have trouble getting their tenant to comply. He stated there are members of the staff in the City that don"t want to see ,7unkyards in business. He felt a loi of negative feedback comes from these sources. n � j __ � � The gentleman stated all of the ,7unkyards aren't creating the problems and ob,7ected to being picked on. Mr. Herrick stated all of these businesses wou7d be reviewed and �f the�r operation didn't have any violations, there wouldn't be any problem. Mayor Nee stated he didn't thtnk he should 61ame the r�ty for the�r pro6lems, but they have to look at it candidly and there are real problems with some of tYie operat�ons in the Crty. The gentleman stated they want to create a good image for the City and feels they have tr�ed to do so. EST�MATES.
