Mr. Burns stated that City staff reconunends the CDBG funds be

for housing rehabilitation; and $30,600 for human services. He
stated that it is recommended the remaining allocations from the

reallocated to the housing rehabilitation program. He stated that
with these amounts and the 1993 allocation, there would be

these allocations have been reviewed by the Human Resources
Commission, and they concur with staff's recommendation.
Councilman Billings asked if a revolving fund can be established

be redistributed to this program.
Mr. Burns stated that as long as the funds are channeled into the.
same rehabilitation program a revolving fund can be established.
Mayor Nee stated tYiat the total housing rehabilitation program for
the most part is an HRA project. He asked if the funds would be
used by the City or turned over to the HRA.

Community Action Program (ACCAP) include these funds as part of
their on-going housing rehabilitation program.
Mr. Patrick McFarland, Executive Director of Anoka County's
Community Action Program, stated that their agency is the
administrator of rehabilitation funds. He stated that the
rehabilitation program provides up to $9,000 for housing
rehabilitation to eligible homeowners in Anoka County. He stated
that this program brings homes up to Section 8 existing housing
standards by making necessary repairs, installing furnaces, etc.
He stated that those participating in the program have a ten-year
lien placed on the home, and one hundred percent of the money would
come back into the program if the home is sold before the ten-year

twelve years, and it improves the housing stock in Anoka County.

OLD BUSINESS•
2. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 2 AND
SECTION 4.04 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CHARTER �TABLED JANUARY 4,
1993 :
Mayor Nee removed this item from the table.
Councilman Billings stated that at the last Council meeting, the
Council wanted to make sure they were communicating properly with
the Charter Commission on this issue. He stated that he did talk
individually with several of the Charter Commission members, and
it was suggested that possibly the Council should meet with the
Charter Commission to discuss this issue or send a letter to the
Commission outlining the concerns before a vote is taken on this
proposed amendment. He stated that there are several small items
that need to be addressed, and the proposed amendments probably
would not pass in the current form.
Councilman Schneider stated that he commends the Charter Commission
on their work, but he has one particular area of concern. He
stated that he has communicated these concerns to the Chairman of
the Charter Commission. He stated that he would feel remiss in
voting for something that he truly does not feel is appropriate.
Mayor Nee felt that it is appropriate to make an effort to
reconcile the differences, and perhaps this item should again be
tabled and dialogue established with the Charter Commission.
Councilman Schneider stated that he did not know if an appearance
is necessary before the Charter Commission, but he could certainly
document his concerns in a letter to them.
Councilman Billings suggested that he and Councilman Schneider meet
to prepare a joint communication to the Charter Commission
addressing the concerns.
Mr. Hunt, Assistant to the City Manager, stated that the Charter
Commission would have to begin the process again whether this
amendment failed or if there were changes based on the Council's
concerns. He stated that the public hearings would have to be
held, so tabling this item would not necessarily expedite the
matter.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she talked to several Charter
Commission members, and they that felt if the Council was to table
this item again they are prepared to take it to a vote of the
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL ME$TING OF JANUARY 19� 1993 PAa$ 4
electorate. She stated that they felt the issues being brought
forward are not significant.
Councilman Billings stated that the reason for trying to resolve
these issues is because the Charter is, in fact, the constitution --
of the City. He felt that the electorate would feel it was foolish
if the Council did not attempt to reach an agreement with the
Charter Commission before taking it to a vote by the citizens.
MoTION by Councilman Schneider to table this item. Seconded by
Councilman Billings.
Councilman Billings stated that the intent of tabling the item is
for more research and not to kill this amendment.
UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, Councilman Schneider,
Councilman Billings, Councilman Fitzpatrick and Mayor Nee voted in
favor of the motion. Councilwoman Jorgenson voted against the
motion. Mayor Nee declared the motion carried by a 4 to 1 vote.

Amendment to Personnel Ordinance
January 20, 1993
Recently, we have.performed a number of criminal background checks
on new employees. �After we receive a signed release statement we
send the request for a criminal background investigation to the
Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) with a check for
$8.00 per person. The process can take as much as two weeks to
complete.
The Police Department does not have to go through this procedure
to run criminal checks on applicants for employment in the Police
Department. They can access the records directly. However, to do
this for other applicants the BCA requires.that an ordinance be in�
place authorizing such searches of criminal records..
Accordingly, we are proposing an amendment to the City Personnel
Ordinance which would enable the Police Department to do timely
criminal records checl�s on applicants for employment in other
departments. The prospective employee would still have to sign a
release form authorizing the records check.
James P. Hill, Assistant City Manager/Public Safety Director, has
drawn up the attached amendment to the Personnel Ordinance. I
request that you present this to the City Council for consideration
at its meeting of February 1, 1993.

special use permit, animal clinics, veterinary clinics, animal
hospitals; public kennels, obedience schools, and training serVices
provided the following conditions are met in order to eliminate
offensive noise and odors:
A. All windows in the area of the building housing areas shall
be double glazed with a fixed sash.
B. Any ventilation system shall be designed so that no odors or
organism will spread between wards or to the outside air.
C. There are no outside pens or holding areas.
The intent of the ordinance section is to provide standards for
full service clinics which maintain animals in their facilities on
a round-the-clock basis.
The petitioner does not intend to provide full scale veterinary
services. The petitioner intends only to provide vaccination
clinics on a regular basis. There will be no holding

pens either in or outside of.the building. The petitioner intends
to use a small portion of the receiving area to establish the
examination and vaccination room. "
The petitioner has received a hazardous materials handling license
from the State of Minnesota in order to dispose of the medical
waste from the vaccinations in a proper manner. No cultures will
be cultured on site, therefore, eliminating possible exposure by
the general public. All necessary testing will be sent to an
outside laboratory.for processing. Severely ill or injured animals
will be referred to another facility. As no animals will be kept
on the site, the window standard is not required. However, the
building is masonry and no windows are located in the area of the
clinic. �
Any alterations required to establish the vaccination area will
require a building permit and be reviewed by the Building
Inspection department. The proposed use does not generate traffic
over and above that which is gerierated by the clientele of the Pet
Food Warehouse. Pet Food Warehouse clientele who now bring their
animals to the store will be given an oppo�tunity to have their pet
vaccinated in the store through this service.
Recommendation
As the proposed vaccination clinic does not violate the standards
set forth in Section 205.14.O1.C.(10) of the Fridley City Code, and
does not adversely impact the traffic on the site, staff recommends
that the Planning Commission recommend approval to the City Council
of special use permit request, SP #92-13, to allow veterinary
clinics which provide vaccinations with the following stipulation:
1. Any alterations to the building will require issuance of a
building permit. .
Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of
the request to the City Council. The Commission added a second
stipulation:
2. No vaccination supplies or medical waste shall be stored on
site.
City Council Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Planning
Commission action.

APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT
H& H Veterinary Services is applying for a special use permit with the city
of Fridley in order to hold vaccination clinics in the Fridiey Pet Food
Warehouse store.
Statement of Intent
H& H Veterinary Services provides low cost preventive health care for
companion animais. Our mobile vaccination clinics are set up inside Pet
Food Warehouse stores, providing increased customer turnout for Pet Food
Warehouse and low overhead costs for H& H Veterinary Services. We
offer this service in order to reduce the number of unvaecinated animals in
the community. We are currnetly operating in the cities of Roseville and
Maplewood.
We use only the best products available in keeping with professional
standards and we are prepared for emergency reaction situations.
Documentation signed by the veterinarian is provided with each
vaccination and rabies vacines are accompanied by Rabies Vaccination
Certificates and rabies tags. Complete records are kept by H& H
Veterinary Services for every animal vaccinated. These records are
available, upon request, to che State Board of Health, the pet owner and
any other authorized party. Prior to vaccination, each animal receives a
complete physical examination. This is done to ensure that only healthy
animals are being vaccinated. Owners are informed of any health
conditions that warrant further attention and are encouraged to see their
local veterinarian, Such conditions include, but are not limited to, dental
problems, cardiac conditions, ear infections, and skin conditions. Owners
are also encouraged to spay/neuter their pets and are informed of the pet
overpopulation problem as well as the health risks that intact animals face.
H& H Veterinary Services dces not provide this service but we advise our
clients to call their local veterinarian.
3H
�
Reminders are sent to pet owners for booster vaccinations. Test results for
Feline Leukemia are mailed within a week of testing. The owner of any cat
testing positive is contacted personally by the veterinarian and is advised
on how to proceed. H& H Veterinary Services revisits each store every 3-
5 weeks in order to provide timely boosters.
Each client is advised to stay in the store for at least 15-20 minutes after
vaccination so that we may be available in case of any immediate
reactions. Also, our phone number is located on every form received by
our clients so that we may be contacted in case of any delayed reactions.
: � � �
H& H Veterinary Services keeps complete records of every animal
vaccinated or treated. A reminder system is also kept to notify owners of
test results and boosters needed (both initial and annual boosters). H& H
Veterinary Services will make these records available to the State
Department of Animal Health, the pet owner, any other authorized party
and, upon owner request, any other licensed veterinarian.
Loc=
H& H Veterinary Services will operate inside the Fridley Pet Food
Warehouse store. The clinic will be set up in the receiving area in the rear
of the store in order to limit public access. A diagram of the ciinic area is
provided.
Li hting
There are three fluorescent light bulbs, each eight feet long, located
directly overhead in the area of the examination table. Three more eight
foot bulbs are located in the rest of the receiving area. These provide
adequate lighting for examinations and administering of vaccines.
Ventilation
A temperature controlling fan is located directly above the front of the
clinic area to provide adequate circulation of air and elimination of odors.
Noise
The receiving area is away form most in-store noise. All clinics are held on
weekends when no shipments are received.
Set-LJ�
Tables will be set up, as shown in the attached diagram of the c�inic area,
in a way that will prevent public access to biologicals and biohazards, and
will allow a thorough physical examination of the animal to be done. 1'he
arrangement will also prevent congestion, as the entire empty receiving
area will serve as a waiting area.

DATE: January 25, 1993
SUBJECT: Annual Seivice Contracts
We have received quotes for two of our service contracts which we request annually. One
is for the tree and stump removal and the second is for the spring street sweeping.
Outside Services, Inc. was the only firm that responded to our request for the tree and
stump removal. Their bid is less than the bids we received last year. The budget amount
for this item is $25,000. The exact amounts are not established untiI the actual trees and
sizes have been determined.
In our street sweeping contract this year, Allied Blacktop Company was the low bidder at
$S7/hour. We have $18,000 budgeted for this service.
In order to ensure that there would be no questions regarding these contracts, I recommend
the City Council receive the bids and award the tree and stump removal contract to Outside
Services, Inc, and the spring street sweeping contract to Allied Blacktop Company.

MSAS Route Changes Request for Fridley
PW93-031
On Apri127, 1992 the City Council informally approved a list of new designated State Aid
street segments, and a second list of existing State Aid street segments to be revoked. The
preliminary approval of the Council was intended to initiate City staff discussions with the
Minnesota State Aid staff. �
Recently, we received partiai preliminary approval from the District State Aid Engineer on
the recommended changes.
As of December 31, 1992 our Street Certificate of Mileage is as follows:
Basic Mileage for Computation (total street miles)
Percentage MSAS Limitation
Maximum Mileage Allowed for MSAS Designations
Total Current MSAS Designation
MSAS Mileage Available for Designation
126.04
x 20%
25.21
23.98
1.23
We are not recommending total revocation of the phantom streets in Fridley at this time.
We will retain the State approved list and revoke as we add new streets to our MSAS
system. This will allow us to maintain maximum mileage allowed and will increase our State
Aid needs money. .
The attached resolutions reflect a revocation of 0.41 miles and a new designation of 1.54
miles.
�_�
.
�.. �

January 25, 1993

Authorization of these resolutions will result in the following MSAS system totals.
E�risting MSAS Designation
Proposed New MSAS Designation
Proposed MSAS Revocation
Proposed MSAS Designation
M�imum MSAS Allowed
Miles
23.98
+ 1.54
- 0.41
25.11

Recommend Council approval of the attached resolutions at their next meeting. This will
allow us tune to submit 'needs requests' for the new street segments and thus increase our
MSAS needs money for 1993.

Attached is a joint defense agreement and a resolution authorizing
the City of Fridley to enter into the agreement.

ROBEST L. DAVmSOH
The MPRS Board decided at its meeting yesterday to continue to have our law firm
represent MPRS in the lawsuits. The purpose of this letter is to determine whether
the individual cities would also li.ke us to jointly represent them. The core of the
joint defense would be that MPRS and the cities did not discriminate, and that in any
case, defendants' actions and omissions did not cause damages to plaintiffs.
The Rules of Professional Responsibility allow an attorney to jointly represent
multiple defendants in a civil action as long as the attorney is not tnaterially limited
by his or her responsibilities to another defendant and as long as the attorney
reasonably believes that his or her representation will not be adversely affected.
Each client must consent to the joint representation after consultation with the
attorney .
The attorney for each of the cities in this case owes that city an obligation to defend
the case vigorously on its behalf. There is always the potential that a conflict
between the defendants could develop . Based on my review of the facts and
background to this case, there is no actual conflict of interest at the present time
that would prevent a single attorney from defending the case vigorously on behalf
of each of the individual defendants .
There may be issues that apply to some defendants and not to others. For example,
there is an allegation regarding a civil service violation that applies to only 13 cities.
In addition, some cities supplement the MPRS system in their recruitment and hiring
process. Another example is that some cities use MPRS less frequently than others.
In defending each city on these issues, there may be facts that are more favorable
to some cities than to others . At the present time, these differences seem only to
make some defenses more or. less attractive to different defendants. I do not see
those partially divergent facts creating an actual conflict of interest that would
affect the core defenses. It is always possible, however, that a judge or jury could
conclude that only some defendants are liable and not others because of different
facts . There is also the possibility that the plaintiffs would be wi.11ing to settle with
only some defendants, or that some defendants would have different settlement
incentives.

Joint representation of all of the cities in this case has certain advantages .° It allows
the cities to present a united defense to the allegations and provides significant cost
savings to the individual cities. Joint representation does, however, create some
potential risks. The most significant risk would be that sometime later in the case
an actual conflict could develop between some of the defendants . If the actual
conflict adversely affected our relationship with ano.ther defendant, we would have
no option except to withdraw from representation in the case. Potentially, this
would include withdrawal from representing any of the defendants.
In making your decision as to whether you want to have joint representation, you
should also keep in mind the law regarding confidentiality among joint clients . When
a single attorney represents joint defendants, there is no confidentiality among the
clients themselves. In other words, whatever a particular client discloses to the
attorney can be disclosed to the other clients. (There is, of course, confidentiality
as to any third parties .)
You should also be aware that our firm represents four of the cities (Brooklyn
Center, Crystal, New Brighton and Robbinsdale) as general counsel. We also
represent several of the other cities as special counsel in litigation and bond
matters . We are also appointed by the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust
to defend lawsuits on behalf of Trust cities. Therefore, if a dispute about coverage
arose between any of the defendants and the Trust, it would not be appropriate for
us to represent either side on that issue .
Based on my review of the case, I believe that our firm's representation of each of
you will not adversely affect our responsibility to the other cities. I am, therefore,
enclosing a consent form for each city to sign agreeing to joint representation. Each
of the cities should discuss this issue with its attorney or other iudependent counsel
before signing the agreement. (I am also enclosing a draft resolution for your use.
Please feel free to modify it as you see fit. )
We do not believe that there will be any significant additional attorneys' fees
incurred in representing the individual cities that would not otherwise be incurred
as a result of defending MPRS. If this changes because of developments in the
lawsuits, we would let the affected cities know immediately. We, therefore, propose
to bill MPRS for our services, and the fees would be allocated to its members on
whatever basis the MPRS Board determines is fair.
If any of you have any questions concerning any issues pertaining to this matter,
please feel free to contaet me or Charlie LeFevere and we will be happy to discuss
them with you.
Sincerely,
Ja es . Thomson
