THE MINi1TE8 OF THE REGIILAR MEETING OF THE FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL OF
JANUARY 9, 1995
The Regular Meeting of the Fridley City Council was called to order
at 7:34 p.m. by Mayor Nee.
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE:
Mayor Nee led the Council and audience in the Pledge of Allegiance
to the Flag.
ROLL CALL:
MEMBERS PRESENT: Mayor Nee, Councilwoman Jorgenson, Councilman
Billings, Councilman Schneider, and Council-
woman Bolkcom
MEMBERS ABSENT: None
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
COUNCIL MEETING, DECEMBER 19. 1994:
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to approve the minutes as presented..
Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
ADMINISTRATION OF OATH OF OFFICE TO ELECTED OFFICIALS:
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, administered the Oath of Office to
Councilman Steven Billings, Ward 1; Councilman Dennis Schneider,
Ward 2; and Councilwoman Ann Bolkcom, Ward 3. Al1 of these members
of the Council were re-elected in the November election.
Councilwoman Bolkcom thanked all her supporters and stated that she
is looking forward to serving her four-year term. She stated that
there are a lot of interesting issues that will be coming before
the Council, and she hoped that the citizens would work with her
and submit their comments.
Councilman Billings thanked the voters of Ward 1 for their
continued confidence. He stated that in his first seven years on
the Council, he has taken the time to research the issues and to
seriously analyze his pasition before a vote. He stated that he
knows that not all his votes are a reflection of the opinion of
every voter in the Ward, but he felt his re-election indicates that
he is adequately representing the voters of Ward l.
Councilman Billings stated that as he embarks on what will likely
be his last term as Ward 1 Councilmember, he plans to retain his
sense of humor and to question items until they are clear. He
stated that the easiest answers are not always the best, and
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 9, 1995 PAGE 2
sometimes taking a harder look reveals that more than one situation
can be resolved at the same time.
Councilman Billings stated that Fridley has been fortunate to have
the largest commercial and industrial tax base in Anoka County.
He stated that many of the City's programs and services only exist
today because of this tax base. He stated that as the City
matures, it becomes more difficult to maintain these programs and
services, and there is constant demand and pressure to solve every
request by every special interest group. He stated that the cost
to replace existing infrastructure such as aging water and sewer
systems is often greater than the initial cost to install them.
He stated that mandates from State and Federal agenc.ies can be
costly for Fridley. He said that for these and other reasons, the
challenges of his next term will be formidable ones, but he is
prepared to meet all of them head-on and continue to the best of
his ability to do what is best for the entire City.
Councilman Schneider thanked the voters in Ward 2 and the entire
community for their confidence. He also thanked the staff and felt
that Fridley was well represented by a professional and dedicated
staff. Councilman Schneider felt that the next several years will
be extremely critical for Fridley, as the Council will be facing
many problems such as housing and crime issues. He stated that
many are sociai problems, and'the Council will have to take bold
steps in making tough, controversial decisions. He stated that the
Council has been working together, and the small.issues need to be
set aside to focus on critical issues facing the community. He
stated that this would take everyone's help. He stated that he was
encouraged by the number of telephone calls he received in response
to an article he had written for the City's newsletter. He stated
that he looks forward to another four-year term on the Council.
Mayor Nee stated that he was glad all three of these members of the
Council were re-elected.
SPECIAL ITEM•
l. RESOLUTION NO. 1-1995 ESTABLISHING RULES FOR CONSIDERATION OF
ITEMS ON A CONSENT AGENDA AT MEETINGS OF THE FRIDLEY CITY
COUNCIL•
Mayor Nee stated that Council, by adoption of this resolution, will
establish a process known as a consent agenda for considering non-
controversial items.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that the consent agenda would
streamline the Council meetings. He stated that the items on the
consent agenda are routine and non-controversial. He stated that
Council would approve the consent agenda by resolution at tonight's
meeting, and the consent agenda would be voted on at each meeting.
He felt that a consent agenda would leave more time for discussion
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 9, 1995 PAGE 3
of major policy issues. He stated that any item may be removed
from the consent agenda at the request of a single Councilmember.
He stated that if an item is removed, it would be placed at the end
of the regular agenda under old or new business as the case may
warrant.
Mr. Burns stated that there would not be less staff work or docu-
mentation for the consent agenda items, and all materials would be
submitted to the Council. He stated that the consent agenda items
would be briefly reviewed at the beginning of each Council meeting,
and there would be an opportunity for the public to comment on the
items. He stated that the consent agenda would be advertised on
the cable television channel no later than the Friday afternoon
before the Monday Council meeting.
Mr. Burns stated that the type of items for the consent agenda
would consist of establishing publia hearings, second readings of
ordinances where major policy direction has been established,
routine business such as setting load limits for�City streets,
claims, licenses, advertising for bids or requests for proposals,
and employee appointments. He stated that any items that require
more than a majority vote or, through prior consultation with a
Councilmember, have been identified as a regular agenda item would
not be included on the consent agenda.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to adopt Resolution No. 1-1995.
Seconded by Councilman Billings. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
APPROVAL OF PROPOSED CONSENT AGENDA:
Councilman Billings stated that he received a'telephone call
regarding the ordinance amendment relating to the parking of large
commercial vehicles, and he would like this item rennoved from the
consent agenda.

SCADA System, and he would like this item removed from the consent�
agenda.

PUBLIC HEARINGS•
20. PUBLIC HEARING TO DECLARE CERTAIN REAL ESTATE TO BE SURPLUS
AND AUTHORIZING THE SALE THEREOF (SOUTH 35 FEET OF 5720 POLK
STREET N.E.) UNDER SECTION 12.06 OF THE.FRIDLEY CITY CHARTER
�WARD 2):
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to waive the reading of the public
hearing notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilman.
Billings. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared
the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing opened at
7:55 p.m.
Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, stated that the purpose of this
hearing is to declare certain real estate to be surplus and to
authorize the sale of the south 35 feet of 5720 Polk Street for
expansion of the parking at the Moore Lake apartment complex.
Councilman Billings stated that the purpose of the sale of a
portion of this lot is to help alleviate the parking problem at the
Moore Lake apartment complex. He stated he understands that this
would not solve all the parking problems but will be a step in the
right direction. He questioned if staff has reviewed the option
of acquiring the apartments immediately to the south and selling
a portion of the property to a developer to build another office
building with a parking lot on the south side of Lynde Drive. He
stated that the parking could then be shared with the Moore Lake
apartment complex and the office building.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 9, 1995 PAGE 7
Mr. Hickok stated that staff has provided an update on this site
and what has occurred in meetings with the owner and neighboring
property owners. He stated that it was staff's understanding that
the best option for this property would be to leave the north
portion of the site for a single family home and sell the south
portion to create fifteen new parking stalls. He stated that the
owner of the apartment complex has really tried to expand the
parking,' but he did not believe that the commercial area to the
south was pursued as a possible solution.
Councilman Schneider asked if it would preclude iooking at other
options in the future if Council authorized the sale of a portion
of this lot for parking.
Ms. Dacy stated that she did not believe this action would affect
Council's ability to review other alternatives in the future.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the
public hearing closed at 8:08 p.m.
Mayor Nee stated he has requested that Mayor Pro Tem Schneider
conduct the public hearing on the next agenda item.
21. PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A CHANGE IN TAX STATUS FOR ACCAP
�ANOKA COUNTY COMMUNITY ACTION PROGRAM) PROPERTIES IN HYDE
PARK (WARD 3):
MOTION by Councilman Billings to waive the reading of the public
hearing notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by Council-
woman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Pro Tem
Schneider declared the motion carried unanimously and the public
hearing opened at 8:09 p.m.
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that ACCAP
purchased a four-unit apartment building at 6008 2nd Street and
two, seven unit apartment buildings at 5908 and 5916 2 1/2 Street.
She stated that ACCAP intends to rehabilitate and operate the three
apartment buildings as a"leasehold cooperative" in order to
provide affordable housing for low income individuals.
Ms. Dacy stated that Minnesota Statutes were recently amended to
provide for "leasehold cooperatives." She said that the statutes
dictate that the buildings must be owned by a non-profit corpo-
ration, or if owned by a limited partnership, a non-profit organi-
zation must be a managing general partner. She stated a"coop-
erative association" must be formed and composed of inembers or
tenants who lease from the association. She stated that leasehold
cooperatives are only available to those projects financed by
public funds, and it is mandated that a cooperative association
have a lease for occupancy for at least twenty years. She said
FRIDLEY CITY COQNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 9. 1995 PAGB 8
that the statutes also stipulate income guidelines and that forty
percent of the members must have incomes at or less than sixty
percent of the median gross income for the area.
Ms. Dacy stated that the property is eligible to be taxed at the
homestead rate rather than the non-homestead rate; hawever, the
City must hold a public hearing and make certain findings. She
stated that these findings are (1) the homestead tax treatment will
facilitate safe, clean, affordable housing that would otherwise not
be available absent the designation; (2) savings from the homestead
tax rate will be used to reduce rent levels or to maintain the
building at a level not possible absent the homestead designation;
(3) the cooperative association must have a lease for occupancy for
twenty years; (4) the project must receive public financing; and
(5) the members/tenants must meet State mandated income
requirements.
Ms. Dacy stated that if the tax status:is changed for these apart-
ment buildings from non-homestead to homestead, the estimated
amount of taxes to all taxing jurisdictions will be reduced from
$4,721 to $1,781 for the seven unit buildings and from $3,724 to
$1,318 for the fourplex. She stated that loss to the City will
only be $337 for the fourplex and $412 for each of the seven unit
buildings. She stated that the homestead tax treatment would
provide ACCAP the ability to use funds to leverage additional
improvements to the property and with ACCAP as the owner, stable
ownership and management of the property would occur. She stated
that ACCAP intends to rehabilitate each of the units at a rate of
approximately $10,000 per unit, and the estimated market value of
the buildings will, therefore, increase by $20,000 to $30,000.
Ms. Dacy stated that a neighborhood informational meeting was held
on December 15, 1994, and residents within 350 feet of these
buildings were notified. She stated that Steve Klein from ACCAP
is here this evening to answer any questions.
Councilman Schneider asked if the density or parking would change
for these apartment buildings and if the apartments currently have
persons with low or moderate incomes living in these units.
Ms. Dacy stated that the density or parking would remain the same;
however, she did not know specifically if the tenants of these
buildings were low or moderate income. She stated that there may
be an individual in one of the seven unit buildings that meets this
criteria.
Councilman Schneider asked about the cash flow for these apartment
buildings and if they needed maintenance.
Ms. Dacy stated that with a homestead tax rate, the property has
a positive cash flow; however, if it is non-homestead the property
would have a negative cash flow and expenses would exceed revenues.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 9. 1995 PAGE 9
She stated that maintenance is needed on these units, as complaints
have been received. She stated that she did not know if the
inspector has been through every unit.
Councilwoman Bolkcom asked if ACCAP would have to abide by the same
rental ordinance as any other rental property owner.
Ms. Dacy stated that even though ACCAP is a non-profit agency, they
would still have to abide by the City's rental ordinance.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that there was some concern about
children in these units, as there is no place for them to play
except in the street or in the yards of the residential homes in
the area. She stated she understands that Mr. Rlein would keep a
close eye on this situation.
Councilman Billings asked who would be the actual fee owner of
these buildings, and he asked if the tenants would be signing a
twenty-year lease.
Ms. Dacy stated that the iee owner would be ACCAP. She under-
stands the cooperative association will lease to ACCAP, and this
association leases to each of the member tenants.
Councilman Billings asked if there are other cooperatives in Anoka
County or the nation.
Mr. Klein, representing ACCAP, stated that about three months ago,
they placed a leasehoTd cooperative in operation in Columbia
Heights. He stated that the leasehold cooperatives had their
origin in the cities such as Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Mr. Klein stated that he cannot specifically address the length of
time tenants remain in these cooperatives. He felt that belonging
to a cooperative gives a sense of pride and sends a message that
the tenants' input is important. He felt that this improves the
units and reduces maintenance costs. He stated that ACCAP's
interest in these buildings is as a rehabilitation project.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if these units would be available for
senior citizens.
Mr. Klein stated that the buildings are not specifically designated
for senior citizens or families, as he felt there is strength in
diversity. He stated that the units would be available to any low
or moderate income individuals.
Councilman Schneider asked who would be contacted if there is a
problem with the buildings.
Mr. Klein stated that ACCAP's management staff would be responsible
for the building.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF JANIIARY 9, 1995 PAGE 10
Ms. Dacy stated that ACCAP currently operates a fourplex in Fridley
for transitional housing. Over the last three years there have
been seven police calls, four of which were routine items. She
stated that this building is well maintained.
Councilman Schneider'asked if the tenants have a month-to-month
lease or longer in a leasehold cooperative arrangement.
Mr. Klein stated that ACCAP has a month-to-mvnth lease with their
tenants except where a one-year lease is required by certain
government sources.
Councilwoman Bolkcom asked the average time a tenant usually stays
in these buildings.
Mr. Klein stated that ACCAP built some apartments in 1980. There
are still ten to.twenty percent of the tenants living there, but
they have never really kept track of the turnover. He stated that
their concern is that they are providing a higher quality rental
unit. He stated that ACCAP would like the tenants to remain on a
long term basis, but a rapid turnover would be due to a tenant's
irresponsibility.
Councilman Schneider asked if the tenants were screened.
Mr. Klein stated that ACCAP has formal rental research screening
for all their units and operate between 300 to 350 units throughout
the County.
Mr. Klein stated that in regard to the three buildings in Fridley,
they need new roofs, and ACCAP would like to make them as main-
tenance free as possible. He stated that the windows, electrical,
and plumbing need updating. He stated that the floor coverings and
appliances need to be replaced, and the interiors need painting.
He stated that there are also some needed driveway repairs and
landscaping. He stated that they would also work with the City as
to what staff felt was needed on these properties. He felt that
the cost of $10,000 per unit would be adequate to complete these
improvements.
Mayor Nee asked if ACCAP planned to have a manager on the premises.
Mr. Klein stated that ACCAP relies heavily on the resident manager,
and they would have one resident manager for all three buildings
who would reside in one of the seven-unit complexes.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if any of the existing tenants would
remain �n these units.
Mr. Klein stated that as long as the tenant is responsible, they
will remain for the immediate future. He stated that they are not
forcibly removing any tenants.
FRIDLEY CITY COONCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 9. 1995 PAGE 11
Mr. Thompson, 5846 3rd Street, questioned the legality of the
leasehold cooperative. He understands that a leasehold cooperative
should be held by members in the cooperative. He did not believe
the leaseholders would stay in the property for twenty years. He
stated that he could not understand if a person signs a lease to
rent from month-to-month that they would be there for twenty years.
iie felt that the attorneys should check this thoroughly to
determine if it is legal.
Councilman Schneider stated he understands that the twenty-year
lease is for the leasehold association and not the individual
tenants.
Mr. Thompson stated that he did not know why one person should
be entitled to a tax cut and not others.
Ms. Dacy stated that the intent of the Zeasehald cooperative is to
enable non-profit agencies to use this as a way to provide affor-
dable housing and, at the same time, work with the tenant towards
self-sufficiency. She stated that the provision for such an agency
to be taxed at the homestead rate was a tool for the City to use.
Mr. Dick Snyder, 5901 2nd Street, stated that even though the
change in tax status would result in only about a$1,200 loss per
year in taxes, over the twenty-year period it could be a very
substantial amount. He stated that he and many others have lived
in Hyde Park for twenty years and do not want to move, but they may
be forced to do so if taxes continue to increase.
Councilman Schneider stated that if the buildings continue to
deteriorate everyone would pay more taxes because the value would
decrease. He stated that if ACCAP maintains those buildings,
property values could potentially increase to provide more taxes
and stop the deterioration of the property.
Mr. Snyder stated that the buildings are not really run down, but
they need new roofs. He stated that another problem is the
parking. If these units are rented to capacity there is no
available parking. He stated that there is the potential for six
persons to occupy a two bedroom unit and four persons to occupy a
one bedroom unit.
Councilman Schneider stated that the requirements, as far as the
density, would remain the same, but improvements would be done to
the buildings.
Mr. Snyder stated that a month-to-month Iease is not much of a
commitment. He felt that persons would not be there long-term with
this length of lease.
Mr. Klein stated that some landlords have gone to a month to month
lease because of problem tenants. He stated that he would not have
a problem with a year's lease.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 9, 1995 PAGE 12
Ms. Janet Taylor, 5916 2nd Street, stated that there are no back
yards at these apartment buildings. She stated that it would be
ridiculous to have children occupying these units, as they have no
place to play except in the street. She stated that Ms. Dacy
answered all her questions. She stated it seems that Mr. Klein
does not have the time to talk to her, and she felt that ACCAP was
not working with the residents.
Ms. Taylor stated that Hyde Park has high crime, and if ACCAP keeps
tenants that are problems the situation will not improve. She
stated that tenants do not take care of their rental units now, and
she did not feel that ACCAP would make a difference if this was a
leasehold cooperative. She stated that she did not feel that
conditions in the Hyde Park area would improve, but that they would
only get worse.
Mr. Sallman, Public Safety Director, stated that in the past year,
Hyde Park has had a burglary problem. He stated that the police
have made a strong presence in the area, and he stressed that
residents should call if there are problems.
Mr. Robert Warolin, 6024 2-1/2 Street, stated that for these
buildings to be leasehold cooperatives, they should be owned and
operated for the benefit of those usinq the services. He stated
that it seems the leasehold cooperative is in a"gray" area or what
almost constitutes �raud. He stated that the taxes on these
apartment units are lower than what the average single family
homeowner pays. He felt that if the tax status is changed, it
would shift the tax burden on other taxpayers. He stated that
residents of these buildings still need schools and fire and police
protection. He felt that this was not fair, and he asked Council
to vote against it.
Councilman Schneider stated that the buildings cannot generate
enough income to be properly maintained without this change in tax
status. He stated that the purpose is to provide a mechanism so
the properties can be maintained. He stated the theory is that
everyone in the City would benefit because the money generated
would be reinvested back into the property and, if the buildings
are better maintained, the value of the entire neighborhood would
increase.
Mr. Warolin felt that the buildings should be improved whether or
not there is a change in the tax status. He felt that it was
unfair to shift more of the tax burden to other taxpayers.
Ms. Gretchen Thompson, 5846 3rd Street, asked why ACCAP was
interested in purchasing the properties if it was not going to make
any money on them.
Mr. Klein stated that ACCAP is a non-profit corporation and meets
the definition under the IRS code. He stated that a non-profit
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MSETING OF JANUARY 9 1995 PAG� 13
corporation can generate income, but the source of income is
applied to the function of the organization.
Mayor Nee stated that his impression of ACCAP is the reason they
are doing these things is to fulfill a mission but not make any
money. He stated that their board is comprised of volunteers
throughout the County who hope something good can be done for
society.
Mr. Myron Helget, 6030 2nd Street, stated that if something is not
done with the properties they would deteriorate, and there would
be hign crime. He stated that Hyde Park is the lower income area,
so residents shou2d be willing to provide housing for low and
moderate income people. He felt that this proposal should be given
a chance, and he would be in favor of a change in the tax status
for this project.
Ms. Mavis Pries, 5905 Main Street, asked who directed ACCAP to
purchase these three buildings. She stated that Council is
eliminating businesses in the Hyde Park area, and she felt that
these buildings could be condemned so new construction could take
place at these locations. She stated that no one living in a
building for only one month would be concerned about the property.
She stated that if the existing tenants remain, the buildings will
be in bad shape.
Councilman Billings stated that there are programs for housing
rehabilitation to try and help aging communities who wish to
rehabilitate their housing. He stated that these are positive
programs for cities to help prevent the downward spiral of tax
values. He felt that with ACCAP owning the properties there would
be a responsible property owner accomplishing something positive,
not only for the property but also for the community. He stated
that ACCAP initiated the purchase of these buildings and the
request for a change in the tax status.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that the City is looking at homes and
rental property that is deteriorating and is seeking ways to
rehabilitate the housing.
Ms. Dacy stated that the City is offering programs, either grants
or loans, to rehabilitate the City's housing stock. She stated
that this year Council will be evaluating the issue in more detail.
Mr. Donald Fortune, 6009 2nd Street, asked what would happen if
ACCAP purchases more apartments in this area and additional taxes
are lost.
Councilman Schneider stated that if ACCAP improves the apartments,
property values would rise, and there will be additional taxes.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 9, 1995 PAGE 14
Mr. Fortune stated that the value of his home has not decreased
because of these apartment buildings, but it has increased.
Councilman Schneider stated that he would bet the value of
Mr. Fortune's home has not kept up with inflation over the last
five years.
Mr. Fortune stated that he is unhappy with this whole situation.
He felt that ACCAP should improve the buildings and then determine
if they should get a tax break.
Mr. Snyder, 5901 2nd Street, asked who monitors the�revenue from
the buildings to see that it goes back into these structures.
Ms. Dacy stated that the County Attorney has to certify the
application. The City could verify with their office how they
monitor the tax value.
Mr. Snyder

stated that there are drug and abuse problems in these
An arrest was made for abuse and damaging property.
that even if ACCAP purchases them, the problems still
Mr. Klein stated that he was not aware of any arrests since they
purchased the properties.
Ms. Pat Donnay, 5980 2nd Street, stated that she did not feel that
$10,000 had to be spent to update the units. She stated that she
did not believe there would be $40, 000 in improvements for 6008 2nd
Street. .
Mr. Jerry McNurlin, 5936 2nd Street, stated that ACCAP purchased
the properties, and now they should operate them. He fel`t that if
they operated the buildings as promised and completed the improve-
ments, then they could request a change in tax status. He stated
that there is no proof at this time that ACCAP wiil do what they
are promising.
Councilman Schneider stated that the City would be losing about
$1,200 per year in taxes. With about 10,000 residences, this would
amount to about twelve cents per household in shifting the tax
burden for the potential of preserving property and the neighbor-
hood in Hyde Park.
MOTION by Councilman Billings to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Pro Tem Schneider declared the motion carried
unanimously and the public hearing closed at 9:37 p.m.

22. RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR WATER RATE CHANGE (TABLED
DECEMBER 19. 1994j:
Mayor Nee removed this item from the table.
Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that Council has received
figures on the projected income for the Water Fund for the next
five years, with no rate increase and with a rate increase. He
stated that without an increase in rates, the City could lose up
to $1,500,000 over the next five years if the consumption and other
assumptions remain constant. He stated that the recommendation is
to increase the zero to 5,000,000 gallon range from $.60/1,000 to
$.66/1,000 and over 5,000,0000 gallons to $70/1,000. He stated
that it is still anticipated that there will be a loss in opera-
tions for 1995 even with this recommended increase.
Mr. Pribyl stated that Fridley has one of the lowest costs for
water. Based on 30,000 gallons of use per quarter, the rate would
increase $1.80 per quarter or $7.20 per year.
Councilman Schneider stated that the water quality was discussed
at the last Council meeting. He stated the water that the City is
receiving from New Brighton is four to seven times higher in iron
and manganese and three times higher than Health Department
standards. He questioned how the City would justify a rate
increase when the water quality is poorer.
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that the water is being
analyzed for iron and manganese. He stated that the water from the
wells at Commons Park and the Locke Park Filtration Plant are
within Health Department standards. He stated that all of
Fridley's wells are filtered except three.
Mr. Flora stated that New Brighton has two plants; one is filtered
and one is not. He stated that depending on the blending process,
the water may be totally filtered but some may be unfiltered. He
stated that Fridley will always have iron and manganese in the
water, as there is no system to totally remove it.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked when the test results on the water
would be available.
Mr. Flora stated that these results should be available within the
next week.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to table this item to the next
meeting. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.

23. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CITY CODE OF THE
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA, BY MAKING A CHANGE IN ZONING
DISTRICTS (REZONING REOUEST, ZOA #94-04, BY DAVE MCINTYRE OF
CERES ENVIRONMENTAL) �TABLED DECEMBER 19. 1994� (WARD 3):
MOTION by Councilwoman Bolkcom to remove this item from the table.
Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, reviewed this request to rezone
property from M-2 to M-3 for property generally located east of
5101 Industrial Boulevard, north of FMC, and adjacent to the
Burlington Northern mainline. He stated that staff inet with the
developer and City Attorney to further analyze the use of these
lots as an office, maintenance, and outdoor storage facility.
Mr. Hickok stated that staff feels the outdoor storage for this
facility will be required as a portion of the principal use. It
is not incidental to that principal use and, therefore, cannot be
done in an M-2 zoning district with a special use permit. He
stated that staff's reconunendation is to deny the rezoning to M-3
based on the incompatibility with surroundinq uses.
Mr. Steve Johnson, Business Manager for Ceres Environmental, felt
that there were two issues; (1) consider this an appropriate M-2
use or (2) to rezone to M-3. He stated that it is an appropriate
M-2 use, in that the language being used to determine if it is not
is whether an M-2 use is incidental or not. He stated that their
primary operation is offices for their administrative staff and a
repair facility. He stated that is the primary function of the
property and outdoor storage is necessary for the trucks. He
stated that there would be very few vehicles stored long-term on
the property considering the amount of space being dedicated to
that activity.
Mr. Johnson asked that Council look at the uniqueness of the site.
He stated that it is a very small parcel and really limits what can
be done on this site. He stated that they have been very creative
in working with staff to make good use of this property. He stated
that as far as the use of this site for other businesses, it would
be very limited. He stated that an officejwarehouse facility would
not have sufficient room for a truck/trailer operation.
Mr. Johnson stated that the property has been for sale for nine
years, and their offer was the only one. He stated that they are
not purchasing the property for resale and intend to invest a
significant amount of money for their use. He stated that the only
problem he would anticipate is the height of the equipment which
is higher than what is allowed in an M-2 district.
Mr. Johnson stated that of the M-3 properties that are available
in the City, the asking price is about double the price for this
parcel. He stated that this would quadruple their costs, and they
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 9. 1995 PAGE 17
wou3d then need to include their timber recycling operation which
is loud and noisy, in order to make it feasible. He felt that if
the rezoning was denied, they would not be able to locate in the
City, and the City would be left with a piece of property that
would not be developed for a substantial period of time.
Mayor Nee stated that Mr. Johnson makes a good case for the
rezoning.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she has no doubt that Ceres
Environmental would be a good resource for this property, but she
has to look at the long term planning and this would be spot
zoning. She felt that it would set a precedent when the City has
recently set aside M-3 zoning for this type of use.
Mr. Johnson stated that he felt the uniqueness of the parcel
addresses this concern. He stated that with a building and pond,
there is not that much space left. He felt that their proposal was
good for this parcel and that it would not set a precedent because
other parcels are not this unique.
MOTION by Councilman Billings to call the question on the motion
from the December 19, 1994 meeting. Seconded by Councilwoman
Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared
the motion carried unanimously.
The motion on the floor from the December 19, 1994 meeting is as
follows:
MOTION by Councilman Billings to waive the reading and approve the
ordinance on first reading with the eight stipulations as outlined
by staff. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a roll call
vote, Councilman Billings, Councilman Schneider, Mayor Nee,
Councilwoman Jorgenson, and Councilwoman Bolkcom all voted against
the motion. Mayor Nee declared the motion failed.
MOTION by Councilman Billings to concur with the staff's recom-
mendation and deny this Rezoning Request, ZOA #94-04 by Dave
McIntyre of Ceres Environmental based on the site's relatively
small size and incompatibility with surrounding M-2 zoning
designations. Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice

24. SPECIAL USE PERMIT REOUEST, SP #94-18. BY LAWRENCE FELDSIEN
OF SINCLAIR MARKETING CO. TO ALLOW A REPAIR GARAGE IN A C-3
GENERAL SHOPPING CENTER DISTRICT GENERALLY LOCATED AT 6290
HIGHWAY 65 N.E. (WARD 2):
Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, stated that this is a request for
a special use permit to allow automotive repair associated with a
fuel dispensing station located in a C-3 zoning distri,ct. He
stated that a public hearing was held by the Planning Commission
on this request, and they recommended approval with several
stipulations.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to grant Special Use Permit,
SP #94-18, with the following stipulations: (1) a fenced screening
area to the rear of the building shall be created. Fencing shall
be eight feet in height, board on board design, with an opaque gate
(see improvement plan for fence locations). Used tires, the dump-
ster, and the waste oil tank shall be stored within the storage

Second Reading of Large Commercial Vehicle
Ordinance
At the January 9, 1995 meeting, the City Council tabled action on
the second reading of the large commercial vehicle ordinance in
order to address a concern that was raised by Butch Voigt, owner
of the Fridley Bus Company. The c�ncern that was raised to
Councilperson Billings was regarding #6 under Seetion 506.13.
Voigt requested an exception to permit the parking of school
buses on residential streets during the normal course of morning
routes. The code section in question was in existence prior to
the proposed amendments, and was not an issue during the
amendment proceedings since the primary issue was the parking of
trucks on residential property.
The proposed language inserted into Section 506.13.6 is, "No
person shall park or leave standing a truck tractor, semi-
trailer, bus, (except for school buses durinct normal ot�eration of
their routes between 7•00 a m and 9•00 a.m. on weekdav
mornings)...".
Staff recommends that the City Council pass the ordinance for
second and final reading.

Sump Pump Ordinance
PW95-O 1 S
Attached is the ordinance for second reading initiating a program for eliminating clear
water from our sanitary sewer system, focusing primarily on sump pumps. Incorporated
within the ordinance is an incentive section that provides for the City to equally cost share
in the remediation work up to a maximum of $4S0 per installation. It aLso provides for a
3-year assessment process for a City controlled project.
It incorporates a surcharge for sanitary sewer connection of $300 per quarter to simplify .
the billing process as well as a penalty clause as a misdemeanor for failure to comply with
the ordinance.
If the Council adopts this ordinance, we can then initiate a public relations information
program on the issue as well as individual mailings followed by the implementation of
property inspection based upon the suspect neighborhoods and the residential certificate
responses. It is recommended that this ordinance be adopted to allow us sufficient time
to inform the residents and implement an inspection and corrective program for an
effective date of July 1, 1995.

AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING CHAPTER 403 ENTITLED
"SANITARY SEWER CONNECTIONS" TO THE FRIDLEY CITY
CODE
The City Council of the City of Fridley does ordain as follows:
CHAPTER 403
SANITARY SEWER CONNECTIONS
403.01. PURPOSE
In adopting this ordinance, the City Council finds that the discharge of
water from any roof, surface, ground, sump pump, footing tile or other
natural precipitation into the City sewerage system will and has on
numerous occasions in the past, flooded and overloaded the sewerage system
to such an extent as to cause significant and grave damage to the property
of large numbers of city residents. Such damage is caused by the backup
of sewage into the living quarters of residents, an increase in sewage
�treatment costs, and in addition to other damage creates a hazard to
health. The City Council, therefore, finds it essential to the
maintenance of health and to minimize sewage treatment costs and damage to
property that the provisions of this ordinance be strictly enforced to
avoid emergencies in the future.
403.02. DEFINITION AND METHOD
No water from any roof, surface, ground, sump pump, footing tiie, or other
natural precipitation shall be discharged into the sanitary sewerage
system. Dwellings and other buildings and structures which require,
because of the infiltration of water into basements, crawl spaces and the
like, a sump pump system to discharge excess water, shall have a
permanently installed discharge line which shall not at any time discharge
water into the sanitary sewerage system. A permanent installation shall
be one which provides for year-around discharge capability to either the
outside of the dwelling, building or structure, or is connected to the
City storm sewer or discharges to the street or drainage easement. It
shall consist of a rigid discharge line, without valving or quick
connections for altering the path of discharge.
403.03. DISCONNECTION
Before July l, 1995, any person, firm or corporation having a roof,
surface, ground, sump pump, or footing tile now connected and/or
discharging into the sanitary sewer system shall disconnect and/or remove
same. Any disconnects or openings in the sanitary sewer shall be closed
or repaired in an effective, workmanlike manner, as approved by the City
Building Inspector.
403.04. INSPECTION
Every person owning improved real estate that discharges into the City's
sanitary sewer system shall allow an employee of the City of Fridley or
their designated representative to inspect the buildings to confirm that
there is no sump pump or other prohibited discharge into the sanitary
sewer system. In lieu of having - :ity inspect their property, any
person may furnish a certificate ce 2.02_ng that their property is in and
will remain in compliance with th iinance. Any person refusing to
allow their property to be inspected or refusing to furnish a certificate
within (14) days of the date City employee(s) or their designated
representatives are denied admittance to the property, shall become
subject to the surcharge hereinafter provided for. Any property found to
violate this Ordinance shall make the necessary changes to comply with the
Ordinance and furnish proof of the changes to the City by July 1, 1995.
403.05. FUTURE INSPECTIONS
At any future time, if the City has reason to suspect that an illegal
connection may exist in a premises, the owner, by written notice shall
comply with the provisions of Paragraph 4 above.
403.06. INCENTIVE
There are a number of inethods t� dispose of sump pump effluent. The
City's recommended solution is to pump the water into a cistern. Any
property which has an existing illegal connection may apply for City
financial assistance by requesting a City inspector to verify the illegal
connection, have the repair completion verified and submit a receipt for
labor and/or materials (self-help labor rate valued at $40). Upon
�verification of the corrective action and costs, the City will remit to
the property owner one-half of the cost to correct the illegal connection
to a maximum of $450 per installation. The property owner may petition
the City to abate the problem and assess the property owners cost for the
corrective work over a 3-year period. This incentive program is in effect
until December 31, 1996.
403.07. SURCHARGE
A surcharge of $300 per quarter is hereby
billing mailed on and after July l, 1995
in compliance with this ordinance. The
entire quarter until the property is in
403.08. PENALTIES
imposed and added to every sewer
to property owners that are not
surcharge shall be added for the
compliance.
Any violation of this Chapter is a misdemeanor and is subject to penalties
provided for such violations under provision of Chapter 901 of this Code.
403.09. EFFECTIVE DATE
This ordinance shall be effective from, and after its adoption and
publication as provided by City Charter.

Purchase of Diesel Dump Truck
PW95-016
The 1995 Public Works budget idenrified $66,700 to purchase a single axle dump truck for
street maintenance.
On Wednesday, January 18, 1998, bids were received and opened for the cab and chassis.
After advextising the notice to biddezs, three truck dealers received specifications and bid
the truck.
Boyer Ford Trucks was low bid at $39,814 for a single axle Ford dump truck 27,000 GVW.
By bidding the vehicle ourselves and not using the Hennepin County or State bid, we
received a lower cost and were unable to specify a truck design for our use rather than
geared around a large county or state fleet requirement.
Also, we will bid the dump box, hydraulic system and plow separately to receive lower
pricing than pay the markup prices through a dealez. This will be presented to the Council
when the bids are received.
Recommend City Council receive and award the bid to Boyer Ford Trucks for a single axle
dump truck in the amount of $39,8i4.

Date:
Provision of Short Term Disability Benefit for
LaVon Reqnier, Liquor Store Manaqer
January 12, 1995
LaVon Regnier began work with the City of Fridley as one of our
Liquor Store Managers on June 20, 1995. Like all other authorized
city employees she is serving a one year probationary period. As
a result, she is not eligible for the short term disability benefit
provided for in the personnel ordinance, Sections 3.04.03 and
3.04.04.
Due to an unfortunate set of circumstances including oral
communications from several staff inembers and at least one letter
dated December 9, 1994, Ms. Regnier was led to believe that she
qualified for the short term disability benefit. She made
financial plans in accordance with this belief in anticipation of
a disability which occurred off the job on November 27, 1994.
(Under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act and the
Minnesota Government Data Practices Act information on the nature
of an employee's disability is "confidential" [the federal term]
or "private data on an individual" [the state terminology]. In
either case, it cannot be discussed in public.)
Had Ms. Regnier been eligible, the short term disability benefit
would have begun on December 26, 1994, and continued until
competent medical personnel authorized Ms. Regnier to return to
work with or without reasonable accommodations. Ms. Regnier's
physician has authorized her to return to the full range of her
duties without restrictions on February 20, 1995. In that case the
cost to the City of the short term disability benefit including
salary and employer's share of payroll taxes (Social Security,
Medicare, Public Employees Retirement Association, and Worker's
Compensation Insurance) would be about $5,750.00. If a physician
authorizes her to return to her duties earlier with restrictions,
the amount could be less.
6.01
Memorandum to William W. Burns
January 12, 1995
Page Two
On January 9, 1995, before any short term disability payments were
made, the error was discovered, and at this time no payments have
been made to her. However, we are advised by the City Attorney's
Office and Attorney Mary Dobbins of the Holmes & Graven law firm,
a. specialist in employment law, that the misunderstanding
occasioned by miscommunication on the part of persons representing
the City might well establish an actionable claim on her part for
the short term disability benefit.
`In order to avoid the disruption of working relationships which
could come from litigation, in order to avoid the costs which would
be associated with litigation, and based on the unique
circumstances in this case, I recommend that the City Council be
requested to waive the exclusion of the short term disability
benefit for LaVon Regnier. Attorney James Hoeft of the Barna, Guzy
& Steffen law firm informs me that this could be done by motion.
I request that you present this matter for the Council's
consideration at their meeting of January 23, 1995.

organizations. Considering the work that has already been done by SAC3 and the
involvement of numerous members of the community in future work, I am suggesting that
the City Council a�-ee to support SAC' in 1995 by contributing the requested amount of Two

MEMO TO: Columbia Heights and Fridley City Councils
Columbia Heights and Fridley School Board Members
Anoka County Board of Commissioners
FROM: Southern Anoka County Community Consortium
SUBJECT: 1995 Work Program and Funding Request
The communities of Columbia Heights, Hilltop, and Fridley and School Districts 13 and 14, in conjunction
with Anoka County, began in 1993 to work together to identify and highlight these communities' strengths,
prioritize needs and promote strategies to address those needs. To :accomplish this work, the Sa�uthern
Anoka County Community Consortium (SACCC) was formed.
In 1993, SACCC adopted a process designed to elicit community concerns through focus group
meetings. Five focus group meetings were held with residents of the three communities, and two
additional focus groups were held for city, school and county staffs. The purpose of these meetings was
to identify the strengths of each city, the concerns of each community and the programs available for
addressing those concems. In addition, with the assistance of a geographerfrom the Wilder Foundation,.
the Consortium compiled demographic information on these communities.
The focus group information and fhe demographic information provided the Consortium with a realistic
view of the stability and healthiness of the three communities in comparison with other communities in
Anoka County and the metro area. The information also provided a look at what the future may be for
these three communities and the beginnings of how a collaborative effort between the school districts,
municipalities, and counties may begin working together to maintain the healthiness and viability of our
communities.
In 1994, SACCC commenced a Community Core Values P�ogram and provided initial leadership for the
project.
The vision for the Community Core Values Program is a safe and healthy community. SACCC provided
the initia( 4eadership for the project and hosted three town meetings that drew over 600 attendees.
Following these three town meetings and communi#y-wide surveys, seven core community values were
agreed to as follows: respect, integrity, caring, responsibility, self-control, citizenship and non-violence.
Over 130 community residents volun#eered to serve on various task forces to work on promoting these
community values and building assets in youth. At least nine task fo�ces have been set up, representing
various sectors of the communities including business sector, health care, schools, churches, senior
organizations, youth organizations, community organizations, neighborhoods and city/county services.
%�.�2
January 11, 1995
Page 2
The co-chairs from each of these task forces have agreed to participate on a Vsion Team estab(ished
to provide grass roots leadership to coordinate the community-wide effort. (See attached.)
SACCC's work plan for 1995 includes assisting the Vision Team in coordinating the Values Program as
well as working in other areas where collaborative efforts will result in efficiencies, increased
effectiveness and cost savings. This next phase of SACCC's wor{c is in direct response to a common
theme from staff and resident focus groups; namely the need to address issues and concerns in a
collaborative fashion.
School, city and county staffs feel that although many community services are available to address
community concerns, the delivery of those services could be enhanced with collabo�ative efforts. The
staffs feel that collaborating will also enable agencies and the schools to better match services to existing
needs.
Recently, community members and staffs expressed the desire to develop a consisterit approach to
remedy community concerns so as to avoid simply shifting the problems from one community to another.
For example, with respect to the housing issue, Fridley was particularly concerned that its ordinance
mirror the levels of coverage and enforcement contained in Columbia Heights' ordinance so that a
resident displaced due to measures adopted or enforced by Columbia Heights would not simply move
to or stay in Fridley because Fridley's ordinances permitted behavior that was prohibited in Columbia
Heights.
ln summary, SACCCs work plan for 1995 includes:
Providing a vehicle for the communities, school districts and county to work together to
assure increased efficiencies, cost savings and effectiveness of public programming;
ldeniifying ways to preserve and stabilize these communities' existing economic
standards; and
Coordinatina the Values Program by supporting the efforts of grass roots leaders who are
leading community-wide task forces to implement values and asset building programs.
The budget for realizing SACCC's 1995 work plan is projected at $15,000. This budget will support
SACCC's efforts and is separate from the funding needed fo� the Values and Assets Program. In another
effort, SACCC is raising funds fior the Vaiues and Assets Program as indicated by the attached.
In order to continue SACCC's work and implement the 1995 work plan, the following funding allocation
of the members is reques;=d. This funding formula is similar to the funding formula �equest used in
1993.

SUBJECT: East River Road Improvement Project
The County is preparing plans for a 1995 improvement of East River Road from Kimball
Avenue north to Highway 610. This project only minimally affects Fridley as it is
primarily within Coon Rapids. One and a half blocks in Fridley, Lafayette to Kimball (three
properties), will be improved with concrete curb and gutter and median. The remaining
section of Fridley between Kimball and Rickard Road is to be improved in 1996.
Accordingly, I suggest we defer any assessment for concrete curb on this particular project
and incorporate this improvement into the overall East River Road improvements
scheduled for 1996.
The public hearing for the Kimball Avenue north improvement is scheduled for January
23, 1995. Notices to the residents have been mailed, indicating a concrete curb and gutter
assessment figure of not-to-exceed $10 per front foot as well as notice of a delay in the
assessment until the major East River Road project is completed.

Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
Grant Fernelius, Housing Coordinator
Public Hearing for 1995 Community Development
Block Grant Program
This year the City will receive $155,210 in CDBG funds from Anoka
County. These funds are provided by the Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) to finance activities which benefit
either low and moderate income persons, remove slum and bl.ight
and/or meet other urgent community needs.
As in previous years, staff is recommending that the funds be
used for housing rehabilitation and public service activities.
The Human Resources Commission (HRC) usually submits a
recommendation to the Planning Commission with regard to the
total public service allocation. Although the HRC was unable to
meet this month to forward a recommendation, they will discuss
the topic at their February 2nd meeting. This will be in time
for the February 13th Council meeting.
Also at its February meeting, the HRC will also consider a
recommendation on reallocating approximately $4,700 in unused
1994 CDBG public service funds. The reallocation will be
presented to the Council as a separate action item at the
February 13th meeting. Staff also suggests that $25,000 be set
aside for general public service grants.
As was done last year, staff suggests that the Council and HRC
reallocate $2,600 of these funds to the ACCAP Senior Outreach
Program (combined with $2,500 in 1995 funding; total $5,100), and
$500 to the Fridley Senior Home Companion Program (combined with
$2,500 in 1995 funding; total $3,000). A recommendation on
reallocating the remaining funds will be developed by the HRC.
HUD regulations limit the amount of funds which may be used for
public service activities to 15� of the total County-wide budget.
The City has been able to use a higher percentage of its
allocation for public service because other communities have
��n�

chosen to fund less than their respective 15� cap.
Attached is a breakdown of the proposed budget and the minutes
from the August 1994 HRC meeting.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing
tb receive comments on the proposed list of activities for the
1995 CDBG program. Formal action to approve the 1995 CDBG
program would occur on February 13, 1995.

TO: WILLIAM W. BURNS, CITY MANAGER ��

FROM: RICHARD D. PRIBYI,, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR A WATER RATE INCREASE
DATE: January 11, 1995
As part of the 1995 Budget Conference session, Staff was able to review with Council the
issues causing the need for a water rate increase effective with the February, 1995 utility
billing.
You might recall, the last water rate increase occurred on the October, 1990 utility bill. At
that time, we had Springsted review our water rate structure and propose a new structure
that significantly reduced the nnmber of tiers and associated rates. It was the direction from
Council, at that time, that the rates would be held constant through 1994.
We have now passed through a 5 year period in which the water rates have been held
constant. We have done pro-formas attempting to estimate both revenues and expenses in
order ta project the in.come or loss for the next 5 years. I have attached to this memo two
projections; the first, shows the results of operation for the next five years without a rate
increase, and the second projection shows the next five years with a rate increase. Without
an increase in rates we could lose up to another $1,500,000 over the next 5 years, if our
cflnsumption history and other assumptions remain constant.
Our recommendation is to increase the 0- 5,000,000 gallon range from a price of $.60/1,000
to .66/1,000 and the over 5,000,000 gallon range to $.70/1,000 gallons. You should be aware
that the second range changes our rate structure to stressing conservation and reflects a
higher charge for the high volume consumers. With this increase, we are creating a 9.5%
increase on the first tier, and a 27% increase on the second tier. We still anticipate that we
will report a loss in operations for 1995, even with this recommended change.
If Council approves this resolution, the increased water rate will still put the average
homeowner on the lowest end of the cost comparison.
This increase would be effective for the first billing in February of 1995.

Resolution Changing Tax Status of ACCAP Properties
in Hyde Park
Councilperson Bolkcom has requested that a neighborhood committee
of five persons from Hyde Park be established to identify the
issues pertaining to the three ACCAP properties to be operated as
leasehold cooperatives. Councilperson Bolkcom and staff would
meet with the committee, listen to their concerns, agree on a
list of issues to research, and attempt to resolve/address the
concerns. The resolution authorizing the tax status change was
intended to be acted upon at Monday's meeting; however,
Councilperson Bolkcom intends to initiate a motion to table until
a meeting(s) can occur with the neighborhood committee.
In the meantime, I have mailed a letter.to the residents
notifying them that the item is scheduled for City Council action
on Monday night; however, a neighborhood committee is being
established and action on the resolution will be tabled.
Committee members identified at this time are:
Pat Gabel �
Dick Snyder
Kathy Roesler
Two other persons are now being contacted. It is hoped that we
can meet with the neighborhood committee on Thursday, January 26,

not possible absent the designation of homestead; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Fridley finds that ACCAP
has submitted documents showing that the cooperative association

of 400 of the cooperative association members will have incomes
of 60% of the area median gross income, and that ACCAP will be
obtaining financing for this project from the Minnesota Housing

SUBJECT: Approve Comprehensive Sign Plan for 1175 - 73 1/2
Avenue N.E.
Section 214.14 of the Fridley City Code requires all owners of
multi-tenant buildings with three or more tenants to submit a
comprehensive sign plan to the City Council for approval. Scott
Lund, owner of Riteway Mobile H.ome Repair, and developer of 1175
- 73 1/2 Avenue N.E., has submitted the attached comprehensive
sign plan for approval by the City Council.
The comprehensive sign plan details the location of signs and the
style of letters to be used for each tenant. As proposed, a 64
inch green sign band will be created at the top of the building
(on the front side facing 73 1/2 Avenue). Al1 signs will be
placed within this 64 inch high area. The westerly 20 feet of
the band will be for tenants with rear entrances. As submitted,
the owner proposes to use three types of letters; vacuum formed
plastic, trim cap plastic, or back-lit channel letters (examples
of each are attached). The letters are to be white; logo colors
may be used if approved by the owner. Staff recommends, however,
that the vacuum formed plastic letters be deleted as an option to
promote consistency among letter styles.
As proposed, the comprehensive sign plan complies with the
maximum square footaqe permitted by code.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the proposed
comprehensive sign plan for 1175 - 73 1/2 Avenue N.E. as
submitted with the deletion of vacuum formed plastic letters from
item =2 of the sign plan.

Proposed Deer Population Management Plan
For Springbrook Nature Center
deer are the mcst abundant and best known large
the United Sta�.es. Deer are extremely adaptable for
with the human pobulation and enjoy a hiqh-rate of
success even within r�ajor metropolitan areas.
-���roductive success in the absence of natural predators is
_ �pulations of deer to exist which are far in excess of the
*�arryZ,�.; capacit� of the land they live on. In metropolitan areas
these over populations cause numerous negative impacts. Examples
are:
1. Significantly increased landowner - deer
confrontations. Deer eat thousands of dollars of
landscaped plar,�ings, gardens, �nrubs, trees and
flowers, every :.•ear.
2. Significantl•J _ncr�ased deer vehicle collisions,
averaging bet°.�een $�,�00 -$2,000 per collision, and
risking sericus hur�an injury or death.
3. Intensive habit:�t damage to par�-� areas, especially
natural reserves. Heavy brows�ng alters natural
areas signif�cantly, in appearance, in diversity of
species, and in �he general health of many remaining
species.
4. Increasing tne ^otential to function as a vector for
� the Lyme diseas� carrying deer tick, bringing the
disease into ar�as where it doesn't already exist.
WildlifE� Management agencies throughout the Midwestern United
St;��s, includinq the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources,
recommend that winter deer bopulation densities in suburban areas
should r�ot exceed 15 to 25 deer per square mile. The Minnesota DNR
states t:hat damage to natural and ornar�ental vegetation will occur
when deE�r density exceeds �:�a� �.hresnold.

CurY�nt Twin Cities municipalities and other agencies that have
ider.�ified deer over population problems and are reducing deer herd
size include: Minnetonka, Edina, Eden ?rairie, North Oaks,
P�v-:cu��:, Ri.chfi_eld, St. Louis Park, Bloor:�_nator,, Hennepin Park
Rese=ve District, and t�linnesota River �✓al�_�y National Wildlife
ReFL�e.
�ianv of these cities have done ground breaking work concerning what
nanacement processes work, gathering extensive data in this subject
area, and public relations through out this process. For more
informaLion about the process used by each city see attached notes.
Problem Identification
-Snri�gbrook Nature Center staff have observed heavy browsing on
trees and shrubs, a significant decrease in wildflowers, fewer
scnabirds, and substantial increase in ncn native pest plant
s�ec-es over the last several years. Over 50 shrubs planted in the
lands�a�ed area of the nature center entrance were browsed to the
grou�d during the summer of 1994.
Repor�s of deer seen by nature center visitors used to occur a few
t�mes every month. In 1994 these reports occurred seve~�: times
everv d�y. Many of these deer are no ionger frightenec ,�eople,
and �et them approach within a few feet. Some vis:.���s have
expr�ssed concern for their children's or their own safety if the
de�r become aggressive.
Two separate auto insurance agents in Fridley stated that
deer/vehicle collisions have increased significantly in the past
20 years. While neither agent has specific data, one felt the rate
had cuacrupled, the other was sure he sees ten times as many claims
todav as he did previously. Both agents stated that an average
clai;� for damage by deer to the vehicle was between $1,500 and
$2,000. Police records show an average of 3 deer car collisions
repcYts per year on 85tn Avenue in front cf Springbrook Nature
Center. Police officers state that many of tnese accidents are not
�'?K�Or�ec to the police_ Nature Center staff have observed at least
6 deer k'lled by cars on 85th Avenue since June of 1994. Some deer
are �_njured and are found crippled or dead in the woods days after
t�ey nave been injured_ Insurance claims m�y be between $10,000
and �20,000 per year for vehicle damage caused by deer on 85th
A���enue .
Ther� is essentially no undeveloped land le�t around Springbrook
Natu�2 Canter. In the past 8 years residen�.ial, commercial, and
industrial development around Springbrook has significantly reduced
deer nabitat, forcing the de�r into a smal�er and smaller area.
Cleir.:^bors who �eed the cie�r tzave caused mor� deer to sur_vive the

Today, with no natural predators, and no hunting, deer reproduction
is offs�t only by deer hit by cars, trains and occasional poachers.
On January 10, 1994, a helicopter aerial survey was taken of the
white tailed deer at Springbrook Nature Center. The actual deer
observed were 26. The survev was considered 75% accurate, so there
may have been 35 deer living in the nature center. There are at
least as many deer living in Springbrook this winter as there were
last winter. DNR recommendations are for 15-25 deer per square
mile. 35 deer in Springbrook extrapolates to a density equivalent
of 175 deer per square mile. Using DNR recommendations,
Springbrook Nature Center, in order to maintain healthy habitat and
wildlife, should have a winter deer population of 3 to 5 deer. We
have from 21 to 32 more deer than the nature center should have.
Management Options:
Do Nothing:
Continue ecosystem dec�ine and degradation.
Continue deer vehicle collisions - possibly
traffic increases.
Increased potential for deer to vector in
carrying ticks.
Dart and Remove - Release:
Not an option - DNR will not approve.
Cost approx $500 per deer.
increase as
Lyme Disease
Very stressful to deer - only 15% sLrvival - 85% die.
Deer that die - meat cannot be eaten/used for food.
Dangerous in our small area - drugqed deer walking onto
highway etc.
Fence:
Fence (10 ft. high) nature center - doesn't solve existing
problem - still must deal with deer that are in the nature
center.
Approx 9,500 ft. of 10' high fence would cost approx $250,000
($25 -$35 per foot - as per Crowley Fence - Dec. 1, 1994)
Spraying Plants:
Spraying plants with "Deer Away" chemicals - doesn't work
because rain washes oif - plants grown new leaves_ Very
labor intensive - keep one person working ful� time.
Special Hunt:
Special citizen hunt - bow or otherwise - too dangerous -
wounding, too hazardous. Huntinq does not work as a way of
removing a speci�ic nunber of deer_ Also, the possibility of
wounded deer goina i�fi� a ��mmercial (.ie. Wal-mart) or
residential area, or o^t i_ghway is too dangerous.
21.05
Contraceptives - Birth Control
Putting out contraceptives for deer - simn'y do not exist.
One scientist is trying to develop, but h�s ^ot tested and has
no idea when he will bec:�n again - T•�ch:-o� �_:v _s at le�st 5
years away, with no idea if it car be successiu� or not.
Regardless, contraceptives would only maint3in a population
level - not reduce it as we must.
Sharp Shooting Over Bait
D[�R recommended method - done at night - over snow. Can
selectively take out does to reduce reproduc�ive potential of
remaining deer. Shoot from a tree stand into ground using
' rifles. Nearly 1,000 deer taken this way in :.he Greater Metro
area in last few years.
Security and safety assured wi�h sians and CSO's, if
necessary, at park entrance areas. Ba�t s�ations will be
located ofi the trails to keep program cut of nublic areas.
After deer are shot, they are cleaned anc taken to a DNR
receivinq area, then to food shelves etc.
Trapping and Shooting
Involves buying or rent�ng traps, capturirc deer one at a
time, and shooting deer once they are in �he� tr�.p. DNR area
wildlife manager John Par�cer states that Ln?� takes more time
than sharp shootina - After shccLina cee=, tne deer are
cleaned and taken to a DNR rece_ving areu, �hen to food
shelves etc.
Recommendations
A. '�he City of Fridley should manage the wi?ite tailed deer
population within Springbrook Nature CenteY boundaries to
main-tain a winter popula`ion densi�y of l�-2.: deer per square
mile - or actual populat�on number of 4-� deer.
B. The City of Fridley shoul� use shar� shoot-nc over ba; t as its
preferred method ta maintain the prooer deer population
density at Springbrook idzture Cen��r. i- �.:�is method aione
cannot accomplish the managenent cbjective�, using the �rap
and dispatch process is t�e second prefeYrec me�hod_
C. The City of Fridley should prepare a deer ,.,anaaement policy
for the entire City to �e instituted ir: t�e ?=a11 of 1995_
This policy may involve joint agreem�n�s �it� neiqhboring
municipalities and consireration o� an ordi�ance �annina tn=�
f-eedinq of c�e<�r.
2 � .�6
The Deer Manac�ement Sharp Shootinq Process
The shai-p shooting prccess �egins in the evening, from dusk until
about 10 P.M. Regu' ar du�� =�idley Police officers will be in tree
stand, about 10 feet hi;h, using ri.fles and shooting into the
ground no more than l� yaras away. Only instantly killing shots
will be taken. All police o�ficers involved will receive training
from Min.nesota Department of Vatural Resources staff concerning the
sharp shooting process.
After d�er have been shot, z�ey will be moved to the nature center
garage area, where they �_11 be eviscerated. This will be
accomplished by volunteers.
The following morning the ceer will be transported in a public
works va.n to a loca �ion dete�ined by the Anoka County Conservation
officer,. probably Carlos Avery Game Refuge or Fort Snelling. The
deer are then dis�ributed �o food shelves, needy families, or
similar uses as det�rnined �v the DNR.
There will be four snootinc stations within the nature center.
Whole cc�rn has been left eac^ evening at these locations since_r�id
Decembez-. Two sta�ions wi:l be used on each night that sharp
shootinq occurs.
Sharpshc�oters will be sched�'ed three nights a week for three to
five weeks. For t�?is 1°9�-�5 winter season, an objective of 20
deer removed is the r�anagen�-�t goal.
Signs w:ill be placed at al_ the entrances of the nature center
closing the center to public-lse during sharpshooting evenings, and
warning that sharpshooting is occurring. CSO's will be used at
entrancE� points as is deeme� ne�essary.
Costs will include, corn used for bait, tree stands, signs,
ammunition, and heater ren��I for the garage. These costs are
estimatE�d to be a�prox�ma_ely $500, and will be taken from
operatirig funds in �he Natural Resource Division. It is estimated
that police will be involvec between 40 and 150 officer hours.

RE: RICE CREEK TOWNAOUSE PLAYGROUND
On Wednesday, January 4, 1995 I met with Rice Creek Townhouse Complex owner Jim ��'iensch and Gina Smith,
the local representative for their company, to discuss the proposed improvements to the Rice Creek playground area.
They were generally favorable towards the plans for the park and Mr. Wiensch stated that he would contribute
�5,000 cash towards the project. He is also willing to have his on-site maintenance help assist with the day-to-day
clean up of this park area.
On Thursday, January Sth Paul Lawrence and I met with three residents of the Rice Creek Townhouses to discuss
the plans for the park and to gain some input on the proposal. Those attending were ��ery positive toward the City
plans for the park and offered further input as we proceed with the development.
As indicated in our previous discussions on this property, the two major improvements to be made this year at the
park include resurfacing the court area for basketball or tennis and upgrading the playground with new play
equipment. City Council has previously set the dollar amount for the improvements at �3�,000 for 1995. I expect
the re-do of the court area ma� take up to $10,000 for an asphalt mat overlay and color-coating of the surface. With
the $5;000 contribution expected fi-om the owner, A'Ir. �Viensch, we should have $30,000 to provide new equipment
for the playground area. The plan is to service the 2-5 year olds and �-12 year olds ���ith separate apparatus geared
specifically for thesE. age groups. According to the information provided to me by the to�vnhouse manager, Mr. Jeff
Hiivala, there are 77 pre-schoolers ages 0-S, and 126 children ages �-12 that are currentl� living in the townhouse
complex. The par':k area will also serve the residents of the Timber Rid�e Apa►rtments and the hoii�eo�mers along
69th flvenue which are just west of the to�vnhouses.
It is nry recommendation that City Council pass a motion authorizing staff to advenise for bids o►1 the new
playground equipil�ent to be installed at the Rice Creek Park. After receiving bids it is our intention to work closely
�a�ith the residents of the townhouses and the Parks & Recreation Commission in making the se(ection of the
equipment to be recommended %r purchase. Our �oal is to have the play equipment installed and the court surface
up�raded this s��rin�.
