She stated that these items will be submitted with the final plan. Mr. Whitten, Vice-President of Rottlund Homes, stated that they have added several new buildings to the design. He stated that there are 54 village homes west of Third Street and 32 townhomes back-to-back, remaining from the original plan. He stated that what has been added is a three-story townhomes in the northeast portion of the site which captures some of the same type of images as the original design. He stated that these townhomes have garage and laundry facilities on the grade level, with living and dining areas on the main floor, and bedrooms and bath on the upper floor. He stated that the square footage is about l, 200 and would sell from $100,000 to $120,000. Mr. Whitten stated that the three-story row type townhomes located in the north section of the plat have a very strong image to the back facing the plaza area. He stated that these are in four and six unit configurations. He stated that they also have garage and laundry facilities at grade level, living and dining areas on the y FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 22 1996 PAGE 11 main floor, and bedrooms and bath on the upper floor. He stated that there are two car garages on the end units and single garages for the other units. He stated that the price range for these units would be $105,000 to $125,000. Mr. Whitten stated that both of these products are geared for the young professionals, singles, and young couples. He stated that it is a dense product and offers private entrances and decks. Mr. Whitten stated that the previous plan contained both cottages and villages and targeted empty nesters. He stated that they would offer both one story and two-story units. He stated that the one level units have single car garages with about 1,200 square feet, and the two-story units have the same square footage with two car garages. He stated that these units would sell from $90,000 to $110,000. Mr. Whitten stated that in the two-stories that are offered, the living area is on the main floor with bedrooms and bath on the upper floor. He stated that they may introduce another plan with a master bedroom on the main floor. He stated that this should give them the flexibility on the type of product and price they hope to achieve for this portion of the site. He stated that they have platted these units showing the largest footprint. He stated that many have smaller plans, but they have the opportunity for flexibility with all the lots, except three, so that a larger unit could be built. Councilman Schneider asked the square footage and selling price of these four plans. Mr. Whitten stated that the square footage is about 1,200, offers a single car garage, and would sell for around $100,000. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if the selling price would be about $100,000 or in the high $90,000 range. Mr. Whitten stated that it would be within the range of $90,000 to $ZOO,000. Councilwoman Jorgenson stazed that she units to sell at $90,000, not $98,000. Mr. Whitten stated that they are trying cannot commit to something at $90,000. is expecting some of the to achieve this range but Mr. Gary Wellner, owner of property adjacent to the site, stated that he understands the City is participating in this project through tax increment financing. He stated that another concern is the area to the west of Third Street. He stated that this has a greater density than the original proposal that he supported. He stated that he must speak against this plan. He stated that he is concerned about the increase in the density because he owns FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANOARY 22 1996 PAGE 12 adjacent property. He stated that two additional units have been shoved in that smail circle area while two units have been removed in the basin area. He stated that if there is a need for greater density, it should be done within the development so that it does not impact adjacent property owners. Mr. Wellner stated that he felt the cottage plan was far superior and does not find this plan appealing. He felt that there should be uniform structure whether it be one or two story. He stated it seemed that within the 54 units, there could be a single story structure and lots opposite could be two-story. He stated that he was also concerned about the lot size and green area. Ms. Dacy stated that the S-2 district is somewhat different from a typical residential zone where certain lot widths must be met. She stated that there are eight units per acre in this plan which is a reduction from the previous plan. She stated that the exact lot size is essentially going to mirror the footprint of the buil- ding itself and be four to five feet on either side. She stated that the lot size really is not the issue. What they are trying to do is create the flexibility for the market. Ms. Dacy stated that she would disagree to have either one story or two story units in one area. She stated that with the variation of the heights, it is more appealing because the units are not the same, one after the other. She stated that there is no change in the setbacks along the west side, but there are four additional units from that part of the west area. Mr. Wellner stated that he would like the lesser density in the units that would be facing the adjacent neighborhood. Mr. Whitten stated that the buildings in this location are the same proposed in the previous plan. He stated that they have gone from cottage homes in this area to a smaller unit. He stated that as far as placing the density in other areas of the development, open area is needed for the storm water retention, and there is not the opportunity to locate units in another location. Mr. Rod Hogetvedt, 201 Sylvan Lane, stated that he is concerned about the density. He asked if the units would be managed by Rottlund and if there were covenants on this development. He also questioned if a home with a single car garage was marketable and viable. Mr. Don Jensen, Land Development Manager for Rottlund Homes, stated that the units are not managed by Rottlund, but by a management company. He stated that the Homeowners Association is regulated to some degree through the VA/FHA process. He stated that as far as viability of a one car garage, a lot of empty nesters are really single households and have only one vehicle. He stated that the single car garages are primarily to serve buyers that have only one - vehicle. 0 0 FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 22 1996 PAGL 13 Mr. Wellner stated that if Third Street were straightened and reverted back to the originai plan, the density could be increased. He stated that the selling prices were originally around $160,000, and the concept was to take care of the seniors which he feels this plan neglects. He felt that these units would be more of a starter home, and he stated that the City has a lot of properties under $100, 000. He felt that these should be a little more expensive and in line with the original intent. He felt that the cottages would give a better mix, and he said that the plan has been watered down to accommodate Rottlund Homes. Ms. Dacy stated that in regard to the alignment of Third Street, it can be changed, but the curved design slows down traffic. She stated that it really comes down to what is the priority for providing this number of units. She stated that it is a loss to the senior element of the plan with the elimination of the condominium units. She stated that the City is requiring that one- third of the 54 units would be specifically sold to seniors in an affo�dable range of $90,000 to $110,000. She stated that the remaining 54 units will be marketed be�ween $110,000 and $120,000 with some units selling for $120,000 and above. She stated that this is an attempt to give the developer flexibility in order to appeal to the market and to provide some senior housing, as there is a demand for one-story senior housing in the community. Mr. Joel Novak stated that he is interested in the senior housing ' in this development. He stated that he does not understand the figures that range from $90,000 to $110,000. He stated that there has to be a fixed price for a unit with a one car garage and a price for a unit with a two car garage. Mr. Whitten stated that they are trying to commit to a price range, but at the same time the plans are being developed, they are not in a position to say what plan will be at what price. He stated that they do not know the exact costs at this time. He stated that he did not think the intent was to commit to a price for each unit but to operate within a certain range. Councilman Billings stated that other factors figure in the price of a home, not only a one or two car garage. He stated that it. may be the amount of amenities which could determine the price range. Mr.. Whitten stated that they want to give the opportunity for persons to purchase these units as reasonable as possible. To offer options or amenities would increase the price. Ms. Bonnie Johnson stated that she is interested in the development, but she felt this plan was congested. She stated that she was more interested in the prior plan, but felt she would be moving into an apartment with these two bedroom units. She felt that there is not adequate space in these units, and they should 0 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 22, 1996 PAGE 14 be a little more spacious. She stated that she would like more floor space on the same level. Ms. Arlene Bjorklund stated that she is a senior citizen and has lived in Fridley over 37 years. She stated that she and her husband cannot take care of their property and would like to remain in Fridley, but they do not have access to the type of living they would like. She stated that a unit with a master bedroom and bath on the main floor would be very desirable. Mr. Whitten stated that they are looking at possibly having a unit with a master bedroom and bath on the main floor. Ms. Dacy stat�d that she thought there was a floor plan with a master bedroom on the first floor. Mr. Whitten stated that it is something they continue to look at, and these floor plans are not cast in stone. Councilwoman Bolkcom asked if Rottlund would totally rule out larger units on these sites. Mr. Whitten stated that with the affordability issue, these foot- prints are not as large as the cottages. He stated that they are - trying to give the same elements as the cottages with two bedrooms, two baths and porches. He stated that they cannot have larger units and also meet the $90,000 to $110,000 price range. He stated ` that the opportunity of having a master bedroom on the main floor may allow a little larger unit in the areas that are available. Ms. Courtney Rathke, 6270 Jupiter Road, stated that she was concerned about the detention basin on Satellite Lane. She stated that the intersection at Sylvan Lane and Jupiter Road is a low point. She is concerned that the detention basin will not be sufficient to handle the runoff and that it would affect her driveway. She stated that she wanted to make sure that there is not any overflow into her neighborhood. Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that part of the require- ments for the development is to accept the water that falls on the site and release it to the storm system in Sylvan Park. Ms. Dacy stated that the piping will be constructed in conjunction with the development, and the cost would be paid by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if there would be increased runoff in Sylvan Park. Mr. Flora stated that there would not, as the water will be piped through a conduit rather than running across the surface. FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF JANIIARY 22 1996 PAGE 15 Mr. Rathke, 6270 Jupiter Road, stated that he liked the original proposal better than this plan. He stated that there are street lights proposed on the corner of Third Street, and a lot of people are concerned about the traffic flow. Ms. Dacy stated that in regard to the street lights, the original plan showed a light standard at Third and Mississippi Streets and Satellite Lane and Third Street. She stated that this area will be part of the plan for a lighted intersection. She stated that there would be a taller light standard in addition to the decora- tive lights on Mississippi Street. Ms. Dacy stated that staff did some additional traffic analysis and, after evaluating the counts and videotaping intersection movements from Second Street, it was determined that the proposed location of Third Street is the safest because it will provide controlled movements into Holly Center and the development. Ms. Dacy stated that the traffic counts from Holly Center are higher than on the residential access to the west. She stated that everything would be in place for a signal at some time in the future, if it is warranted. She stated that the county feels this is the best location for Third Street and staff concurs. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that there is some question as to the signalization of that intersection and having two traffic lights so close to each other. Ms. Dacy stated that whenever the warrants present themselves, the county will have to determine if a signal should be installed. She stated that the traffic out of Holly Center is heavy but not enough at this time to meet the requirements for a signal. She stated that when this occurs, the county will have to make a decision regarding signalization. Ms . Janet Renz stated that she has priced Rottlund Homes in the area and is concerned why these appear to be cheaper than those built in other areas. Mr. Whitten stated that many of these units are smaller in square footage. Mr. Don Jensen stated that the water and storm sewer improvements are not included, which allows Rottlund to reduce the cost of the units. Councilman Billings asked if a development agreement has been signed with the Housing and Redevelopment Authority. Ms. Dacy stated that a draft has been prepared, and she hoped to have this approved by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority at their next meeting. , Councilman Billings stated that he would like the development agreement signed before he is asked to vote on the plat. He stated that since the development agreement is not in place, the final - selling price of the land is not available. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANIIARY 22 1996 PAGE 16 Ms. Dacy stated that the selling price of the land is based on a formula on the number of units. She stated that there is a tenta- tive agreement at this point. Councilman Billings asked how the estimated land price at this time compares to the estimated land price given to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority and the City Council in December, 1994. Ms. Dacy stated that it is approximately the same. Councilman Billings stated that in the original plan there were over 170 units. He asked how the estimated tax revenue from these units would compare with the tax revenue for the current proposal. Ms. Dacy stated that she would obtain this information for Council. Councilman Billings stated that the current site is approximately fourteen acres. He stated that there were originally ten acres, but four acres were added in 1995. He asked the costs for acquiring the additional four acres. Councilman Billings stated that he would like to know what revenue would be generated if only the ten acres had been developed versus the addition of the four acres to make it a fourteen acre site. He asked if the additional revenue covers the acquisition costs. Ms. Dacy stated that she could obtain this information for Council. � Councilman Schneider stated that in regard to the density, the condominiums did not appear to be feasible. He stated that although he liked the original plan, this represents a compromise. Councilwoman Bolkcom asked why the name was changed from Stonegate to Christiansen Crossing. Mr. Whitten stated that the original owner of this property was where Christiansen Farms was located, and the owners happen to be related to the Chairman of the Board of Rottlund. MOTION by Councilman Billings to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing closed at 9:08 p.m. 13. APPROVE AGREEMENT FOR LEGAL SERVICES BETWEEN THE CITY OF FRIDLEY AND HOI,STAD & LARSON P.L.C. AND FREDERICK W. KNAAK: Councilman Schneider stated that in a memorandum from the City Manager dated January 18, 1996, he noted that Mr. Newquist was concerned about separating the prosecution for zoning, rental and housing code violations from the remainder of the prosecution duties. He asked if this has been resolved. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 22, 1996 PAGE 17 Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that as the contract is drafted, it proposes the prosecution for zoning, rental and housing code violations should be handled by Holstad & Larson and Fred Knaak. He stated that Mr. Newquist still takes exception to this, but he understands it is the City's choice. He stated that Mr. Newquist would prefer to handle the prosecution in these cases, as there is one calendar for Fridley, and this splits the calendar which he felt is awkward. Mr. Burns said the City's position is that since the attorney for the civil side of our legal services is relied upon primarily for working on amendments in this area, it makes sense for them to represent the City in these matters. Councilman Billings asked if there was anything in the contracts that would preclude the City from having the legal prosecuting attorney handle those issues. Mr. Burns stated it is something that would have to be negotiated with both firms. He stated that they are not talking about a huge case load, probably only two or three cases per year. Councilman Schneider stated that he would assume if this agreement - is approved that there is an opportunity to re-negotiate the contract, if necessary. MOTION by Councilman Billings to concur with the recommendation of the City Manager and approve the agreement for legal services between the City and Holstad & Larson, P.L.C., and Frederick W. Knaak and authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute same. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a roll call vote, Council- man Billings, Councilman Schneider, and Councilwoman Bolkcom voted in favor of the motion. Mayor Nee and Councilwoman Jorgenson voted against the motion. Mayor Nee declared the motion carried by a three to one vote. Mr. Burns introduced Mr. Fred Knaak, the new City Attorney, with the firm of Holstad & Larson. Mr. Knaak stated that he was grateful for this appointment and appreciates the opportunity to serve the City. 14. APPROVE AGREEMENT FOR LEGAL SERVICES BETWEEN THE CITY OF FRIDLEY AND NEW4UIST & EKSTRUM, CHARTERED, AND CARL J. NEWQUIST• MOTION by Councilman Schneider to concur with the recommendation of the City Manager and approve the agreement for legal services between the City and Newquist & Ekstrum, Chartered, and Carl J. Newquist and authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute same. Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. FRIDLEY CITY COONCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 22 1996 PAGE 18 Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that Newquist & Ekstrum have taken some exception to the indemnification clause, and there is a possibility that the contract may have to be amended. He stated that the indemnification clause is being requested by the League of Minnesota Cities. He stated that he felt their insurance can live with the language. Councilman Schneider asked if it would be brought back to the Council if this is approved but then there is a problem. Mr. Burns felt the risk was low that this will have to be brought back to Council. Councilwoman Bolkcom felt that perhaps this should be tabled until this issue is resolved. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she would agree. MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson to table this item. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. „ 18. INFORMAL STATUS REPORTS: DAVE SALLMAN, PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR - RE: ISSUES BROUGHT UP BY RESIDENTS OF THE VILLAGE GREEN APARTMENTS AT THE JANUARY 8 1996 COUNCIL MEETING: Mr. Sallman, Public Safety Director, stated that he wished to respond to the complaints from tenants at Village Green apartments regarding the enforcement of the rental housing ordinance and conduct on the premises. He stated that the conduct on licensed premises is part of the rental ordinance, and the intent is to hold the owners of an apartment complex responsible for their tenants. Mr. Sallman stated that one of the charges made by the citizens on January 8 was that if they called the police, they get a"strike" against them. He stated that what happens, if the violation warrants it, is that a letter is sent to the licensee and resident. He stated that there was reference that anyone that calls the police ends up with a letter. He stated that this is not correct. Normally, an arrest is what triggers the letter. Mr. Sallman stated that this was explained to the tenants of Village Green, and there will be a meeting on February 13 to discuss the ordinance with them. Mr. Sallman stated that there are various forms of public nuisance. If someone were to make the statement that they called the police and ended up with a letter that could possibly be true. He stated that, for example, if someone is having a party at their rental unit, it gets out of hand, and the police respQnd, it is possible they could get a letter. �' FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANIIARY 22, 1996 PAGE 19 Mr. Sallman stated that there are other areas, such as domestic abuse, that are not easy. He stated that one problem with domestic assault is when the victim is also co-habitating with the person who commits the assault. He stated that if the victim is willing to obtain an order for protection the letter is disregarded and does not count. He stated that these are not easy issues, but there are times when facts are left out. Mr. Sallman stated that the person who was evicted from Village Green apartments had eleven police calls. He stated that what the police are trying to do is solve some of the problems instead of having to go back to the same residence time after time. Mr. Sallman stated that the managers of the apartment buildings would prefer not to be licensed. He stated that they do not like the interference of government into their business. He stated, however, he has received comments from individuals that they like the support when they have to go to court. He stated that the Police Department has tried to approach this from a positive standpoint. He stated that when there is an eviction, the police are there supporting the owner. Mr. Sallman stated that the ordinance was working for the overall safety of the residents of Fridley. Councilman Schneider asked what would happen if a tenant was being stalked by someone who is not living in the same apartment and calls the police several times. Mr. Sallman state�d that practically speaking, they would not receive a letter. He stated that a person could be a real victim and in fear of calling the police. He stated that he would hate to see a situation where a letter was sent and did not protect a victim. He stated that any policy does not work 100 percent of the time. He stated that the City has a mandatory arrest policy regarding assault, and if the police have probable cause that an assault has occurred, they will make an arrest. Mr. Sallman stated that domestic abuse is such a complicated issue, but he does not feel this ordinance is overly abusive to that situation. He stated that he would be surprised that someone would not call the police because of this ordinance. DISCUSSION ON MEETING WITH THE SENIORS: Mr. Burns felt that the meeting with the seniors to discuss their concerns was very positive. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that the lines of communications should be kept open, and the results of the citizens survey should be shared with them. She stated that the seniors indicated that they could not get volunteers. FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 22 1996 PAGE 20 Councilman Billings stated that it was a good first meeting. He stated that a task force could probably be established to work with the Parks and Recreation Commission to come up with ideas ora how to incorporate some volunteers into this process. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that with the school district providing space for the seniors, the City offsets that with the playground and recreational equipment, and there is a sharing. Councilman Schneider stated that the City should be very conscious of the communications with the seniors. DISCUSSION ON ICE RINKS AND WARMING HOUSES: Councilman Billings stated that some residents want the ice rinks restored, and some want the warming houses back. He stated that there are two basic lobbying groups. He stated that Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she had some meetings with the school district and indicated that she expected to see the warming houses back for the 1996-97 season. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she spoke with Gordon Backlund of the school board, and they agreed to try to get staff together to meet on this issue. She stated that she has not heard if any meetings have been scheduled. She stated that the school district is busy with the bond referendum and the allocations for the schools, but she hoped to meet to determine what contribution can be made for the warming houses. Councilwoman Bolkcom felt that the next step is a group meeting with the Parks and Recreation Commission to keep the momentum going. PICK-UP OF DAMAGED TREE LIMBS FROM THE ICE STORM• Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that the City is publici- zing on cable television that anyone with downed tree limbs and branches from the ice storm can place them on the curb, and crews will start picking them up as soon as possible. TIMETABLE FOR STONYBROOK CREEK PROJECT: Councilman Billing stated that he has been asked if there is a timetable for the Stonybrook Creek project. Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that he plans to bring this issue to Council at the next regular meeting, and he hoped to start construction in February. CONFERENCE ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION: Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that during the conference session he would like to discuss the following items: (1) City interest FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL ME$TING OF JANUARY 22, 1996 PAGE 21 in the site occupied by the Unical station at I-694 and Highway 65; (2) computer purchases and the Five Year IS Plan; (3) a wireless telecommunications ordinance; (4) proposed equipment maintenance RFP; and (5) the Commission appreciation dinner. ADJOURNMENT• MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson to adjourn the meeting. Seconded by Councilman Schneider.

Notice was mailed to all the residents on Alden Way. Only three residents attended the meeting and all were in support of the project. This project has been discussed with the neighborhood over the last 5 years. Last year the City received considerable comment and support for the project as a result of the Anoka County Regional Bikeway Trail system being placed along Alden Way. To improve this MSAS collector route within the neighborhood, staff would recommend the Council authorize initiation of an improvement project for Alden Way, which would include a new bituminous surface, widening of the street to 32 feet in accordance with the State Aid standards, parking on one side for safe vehicle movement, and placement of concrete curb and gutter for improved surface water drainage. Recommend the City Council adopt the attached resolution ordering the preliminary plans and specifications for the 1996 Street Improvement Project No. ST. 1996-1&2 including Alden Way.

Assist low and moderate income persons. Removal of slum and blight. IV1eet other urgent community development needs. Despite what is going on in Washington concerning the federal budget, we have been instructed by Anoka County and HUD to move forward with planning activities for the 1996 Community Development Block Grant Program. As in previous years CDBG funds are typically not available until July 1st; however, because of the delayed federal budget process it is expected that date will be moved back. This year, Anoka County estimates that Fridley will receive $155,223 in CDBG funding. Attached for your reference is a summary of CDBG funding over the last three years. Also attached is a letter from Anoka County which shows what other cities in Anoka County will receive. 8.01 1996 CDBG Program February 7, 1996 Page 2 Proposed 1996 Aliocation Housing Rehabilitation Public Service Grants Anoka County Administration $131,940 85% $ 22,283 14% $ 1,000 1 % $155,223 We should point out that Anoka County and HUD are requesting cities to establish a $5,000 minimum grant amount for agencies which receive public service funding. The small grant amounts are difficult to administer and in some cases the funds are never used. Past public service recipients were notified of this new policy and were asked to attend the public hearing. In addition, they have cautioned cities to limit their public senrice requests to 15% of the projected budget or face the possibility of having some public service grants cut. The 15% cap is reflected in the proposed budget. Because housing is a continuing priority of the Council, we are recommending that the remaining 85% be utilized for housing rehabilitation. This program is quite successful and the funds are usually committed rather quickly. Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing with formal action to occur on February 26, 1996.

(HAL 3/31/95p1) Driving his optimism is the fact both Ctinton and the GOP want to reduce the federal government and give states and local governments more control of public and assisted hous- ing, federally funded community development and other pro- grams. As Cisneros sees it, this common goal creates a com bond between the 2 sides, thus assuring passage an act- ment of virtually all of the reforms in HUD Re' ention Blueprint II, which Cisneros officially un ed this week. The new document is an enhanced ve n of last year's Re- inveittion Blueprint !, some of w e reforms are in pending legislation. (HAL 12/22p5) While the budget batt s troub(ing, the secretary doesn't view it as a perma obstacle to the reform program. Even if it persists, w' UD operating under continuing funding resolution rough the end of fiscal 1996, he sees a way to surm the problem, he tells Housing Affairs Letter. en the present continuing resolution, PL 104-99, ex- pires March I5, he will ash Chairmen Mack (R-Fla.) and FINANCE: In Our 36th Year...

The law, which passed both houses la eek and was im- mediately signed by the presiden nds HUD at the fiscal 19961evels contained in the ference reports of 2 bills, HR 2099 and HR 2076, oed by Clinton in December. (HAL 1/26p1) During the p 0 months, HUD technicians and the Re- publicans' ommittee staffs have worked together to come with department reforms acceptable to both parties. ' eros envisions that process continuing. Reforms favored by Cisneros, Mack, Lazio and Bond are in Senate-passed S 1250, HR 2099 and HR 2491, the ve- toed 7-year budget reconciliation resolution. Among other things, HUD Reinvention Blueprint /! pro- poses to: -- Transform HUD into a Cabinet department that inverts the organizational chart by creating empowered single points of contact for 183 local jurisdictions to help them cut through Washington red tape. -- Reduce the HUD workforce from ihe 10,000 to 7,500 by year 2000.

Sec'Y Cisneros will seek about $7.1 billion to fund the en- hanced Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) pro- _ gram, HOME Fund and flexible Homeless Assistance un (HA�, all of which would become operative in 1998. The CDBG program permits states and localities to set their own performance standards for a broad range of actrvi- ties that directly respond to local problems. Act�vit�es in- clude: viding rehabilitation loans to f�nd neighborhood im- `� provements needed to strengthen low-income communities. -- Offering economic-development loan pools to help ini- tiate and expand local businesses and create new jobs. Communities rated among the highest performers will compete for bonus funds to spur additional economic devel- opment in disvessed communities or link people in such communities to jobs. Ten percent of the fund is earmarked for the bonus pool. The CDBG program includes the Economic Development Initiative, Enterprise Zones/Economic Development Iniiia- tive, UDAG recaptures, Youthbuild, Colonias, Early Child- hood Development, Neighborhood Development and Com- - muniry Adjustment Planning. As with CDBG, communities QettinQ HOME funds are � allowed to establish their own performance measures and benchmarks. Local measures will be grouped mto national categories that include increased homeownersh�p, housmg rehabilitation or new rental construct�on. As in CDBG's case, 10% of the fund goes into a bonus pool for higher performers who create large tracts of home- ownership in communities. � The HOME Fund includes the Nat'1 Homeownership Fund, housing counseling, Fiousing Opportunities for People Everywhere 2(HOPE 2), HOPE 3 and lead-based paint hazard reduction. The Homeless Assistance Fund is created by consolidating HUD's 6 McKinney homeless programs: Shelter Plus Care, Supportive Housing, Emergency Shelter Grants, Sec. 8 SRO, Rural Homeless Grants and Safe Havens. Under the plan, localities are authorized to develop a com- prehensive "continuum-of-case" approach to solving home- lessness. As with CDBG and HOME, ] 0% of the fund is earmarked for a bonus pool. This pool is available on a com- petitive basis to superior performers who address homeless _ persons with multiple diagnoses, especially mental illness and addiction. 3 funds is tlexibility. He says maximum local control is achieved by letting communities move up to 10°�0 of any formula und among the other funds, thus enabling them to undertake broad-based housin� and communitv-development initiatives. I eprint, HUD urges formation of community part- nerships in which government, private-sector interests, com- munity-based organizations, educational and medical insti- tutions, foundations and citizens establish empowerment councils to develop and implement a shared vision. To encourage such paRnerships, HLJD proposes to allow them to receive a single stream of funds for up to 5 years. In exchange for this flexibility, communities must execute per- formance contracts with the federal government. HUD's Reinvention Blueprint 1!, Renewing America's Communities from the Ground Up, is available from us as *CDS 9305, 86pp -- see p2 box to order. Info: Andrew Cuomo, HLJD, 202/708-2690. HUD PROPOSES 3 HOUSING FUNDS HUD proposes to transform all federal affordable housing into 3 performance-based funds by 1998. The HUD Reinvention Il programs, similar to those in Reinvention !, are the Public Housing Operating Fund (PHOF), Public Housing Capital Fund (PHCF) and Housing Certificate Fund. The Public Housing Operating Fund gives public housing authorities (PHAs) flexibility to attract a broader range of families, set their own admission-preference rules, encourage working families to remain in public housing and reward work-related efforts of families now dependent on public as- sistance.

FINANCE e troubled Fed'1 Housing Adm'n can be- com a viable, healthy entity if it's di- vorc from politics and transformed into an aut omous agency outside HUD, a Univ. of Wisco in economics professor says. Writing Housing Policy Debate (Vol. 6, Issue 2, 995), Kerry Vandell says the restructured HA should have a commis- sioner whose t is independent of the comings and goin of presidential admini- strations. FHA should be to reinvent itself ntinuously through experiments intended to ind institutional structures and programs t t permit it to �f seek greater discipline thr gh the mar- � ket, ultimately via a gover nt-sponsored enterprise structure or comple privati- zation. As an example of a workable str ture, Vandell cites the "assigned risk-p 1 structure" already existing in the a omo- bile, property and medical malpractice r- eas.

Attention Potential Human Service CDBG Applicants: The City of Fridley Community Development Block Grant process will soon begin. The purpose of this letter is to inform all past human service applicarits of the upcoming CDBG activities. Public Hearina A public hearing before the City Council has been scheduled fo� February 12, 1996, at 7:30 p.m. The purpase of this public hearing is not to allocate funds but to receive public input regarding their use. Of the approximately $155,223 of CDBG funds budgeted for Fridley, it has been recommended that l5% be designated as human service funds. This public hearing will allow for public input about the 15% / 85% designations. Minimum Grant Recruest Cities throughout Anoka County that receive CDBG have been strongly encouraged by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and consequently Anoka County to enforce a$5, 000 minimum for all human service grant requests. The February 12, 1996 public hearing may also be an opportunity to express your views on a minimum grant request such as this. Human Resource Commission The City Council will take action to direct the Human Resource Commission to begin the human service CDBG process at their February 26, 1996 meeting. Upon receiving that direction, the Human Resource Commission will proceed with the request for 8.11 1996 City of Fridley Human Service CDBG Process February 1, 1996 Page 2 applications. The Human Resource Commission will then review all applications and conduct interviews before making any funding recommendations to the City Council.

He stated this resolution settles an uneasiness that many of the citizens have in the development process. Councilman Billings stated the City has an obligation to insure that subsidized projects are good quality and that the workers are paid the prevailing wage. He stated if you do not have prevailing wage, there is not an even base for the contractors to bid. He stated in order for a contractor to bid low on a job, people are brought in who are.untrained and under an apprenticeship program. He felt that the City is the one paying for the apprenticeship which is less than the best. He stated he has requested prevailing wages be paid on any projects that involve City funds. _ Councilman Billings stated there was an incident several years ago where:tax increment financing:was being used at the Springbrook Apartments and- workers were from another state. He stated prevailing wages do not guarantee this would not happen, but it probably would reduce such incidents. He felt workers from other states do nothing to stimulate the economy of Fridley or the State of Minnesota. MOTION by.Councilman Billings to adopt Resolution No. 25-1990. Seconded by-Councilwo�aan Jorgenson. Councilman Schneider asked`Councilman Billings about the cost analysis he conducted. Councilman Billings stated there was a memo in 1988 from the Attorney General's Office indicating they felt that whenever State funds are involved in a City project, � r��r�; �;r.r *�,?a�� rr,,,�+- �,o �� , � Y . 9` � FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETIN(3 OF MARC$ 26, 1990 PAGE 6 paid. He stated after receiving this memo, he requested staff to provide a list of some of the projecte completed between 1985 to 1988. He stated in reviewing those projects, twenty contractors who were low bidders, out of a total of 29 contractors, were paying prevailing wages: He„� further.stated that,of the other nine remaining contractors,`�; five.� were also.-paying __'prevailing��wages. Councilman�Billings'stated=,the difference•between�the low bidder not paying prevailing wages and what�it'would cost to have a contractor paying prevailing wage is just over a half of one percent of the cost. Mayor Nee asked how this would affect the bids that are now out. Councilman Billings stated there are several projects that have gone to bid. He stated the water tower bid contains an alternate bid for prevailing wage. He stated this resolution for prevailing wages could be effective for projects let after May 1, 1990. Mr. Flora felt it would be possible to let the contracts for bids that are now out before May 1, 1990. MOTION by Councilman Billings to amend the resolution to make the payment of prevailing wages effective on projects let after May 1, 1990. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE MOTION FOR ADOPTION OF THIS RESOLUTION, Councilman Billings, Councilwoman Jorgenson and Councilman Fitzpatrick voted in favor of the motion. Mayor Nee and Councilman Schneider voted against the motion. Mayor Nee declared the motion carried by a 3 to 2 vote. 4. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 7.04 7 05 7.07_, AND 7.09 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CHARTER: �.�-' Mr. Hunt, Assistant to the City Manager, stated this� dinance contains a series of amendments to the City Charter r�x'ating to the budget. He stated it basically involves the datfp.�e budget is to be submitted and published and provides f.�ar its adoption by resolution, rather than by ordinance. �-�� Councilman Schneider stated it s� e�s any language placed in the Charter has to be amended a yea,r�later to bring it into compliance with State statutes. He �,o�ered if the language should be such that it-states it shall;b� in accordance with State.law rather than referring �to specifj�'dates.

Flora, �lic Works Director DATE: February 12, 1996 SUBJECT: Locke Lake EAW Resolution There are a number of requirements associated with removal of sediment from Locke Lake. The primary one is the public notice through the Environmental Qualit� Board (EQB) of the project, and then a determination that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not required. I submitted the notice to the EQB and it was published during the month of January 1996, with the public comment period ending January 31, 1996. The Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAV� was prepared for both the City of Fridley's portion of the project (Stonybrook Creek) and the Rice Creek Watershed District's portion of the project (sedimentation basin). The EAW was routed through the Corps of Engineers, the DNR, the MPCA, and the Rice Creek Watershed District. Three comments were received on the project; one from the Minnesota Historical Society indicating no impact, one from the DNR indicating an EIS was not required and one from the MPCA requesting clarification of soil borings for the soil disposal system permit. To complete the action, the Council needs to make a determination that an EIS is not required and the EAW that was prepared is adequate for the project. Recommend the City Council adopt the attached resolution so that notification can be distributed to the appropriate agencies.

We do not believe the project requires the preparation af an environmental impact statement (EIS)_ However, more information than is offered in the EAW will be requued before the required DNR protected waters permit can be issued. In particular, the modified basin can support more diverse wetland vegetation and wildlife communities if the design allowed for more shallow water, variable contours, and an inegular shoreline. More detailed grading plans are required to demonstrate how these .. features are reflected in the proposal. Please continue collaborating with Tom Hovey; DNR Area Hydrologist, in addressing permit requirements; he can be reached at (612) 772-7910. Regarding Item 11, Fish, Wildlife, and Ecologically Sensitive Resources, the failure of the dam opened Rice Creek to the upstream migration of channel ca.tfish and other migratory gamefish from the Mississippi River to Long Lake. This population will not be sustained once the gates on the new dam are closed. However, closure of the gates will also restrict the upstream movement of undesirable iish species. lt should also be noted that using tne term "restoration" in characterizing this project can be misleading: The "original" condition was not a lake system but rather a stream channel bordered by nparian vegetation. The current condition (a drained Locke Lake) is more similar to the onginal condition than are either the former or proposed Locke Lake condition. In an ecological sense, Locke Lake is a"disturbed" self-regulating system where sediment removal and dam closure are measures toward the reclamation of functions of the disturbance condition, not the restoration of the natural condition. Because of upstream development and the erosive capabilities of Rice Creek, Locke Lake will continually move toward a different state, i.e., it will fill with sediment, thus requiring periodic clean-out. Implementation of water quality best management practices (BMPs) in the watershed can further extend the bene�its of tius pro�ect through reduction of sediment inputs. � . . . : Thank you for the opportunity to review this document.

Based an the information contained in #he �AW, the �vilowing comments are made �ar consideration aud response prior to a decision� on the need for an. �nvironmental Tmpact Statement: 1. Staff have concerr�s about the sediment sampling that was conducted in 199I. For exampte, the map showin� the location of the sediment sample sites is confusing. In addition to handwritten notes with arroL�vs, thete are two other sites Iabeled that imply a sannpling site. If the sit�s i.ndicated by ihe handwritt�n labeis iruly are the sites sampled �n 199I, thcn the data for sites #l, #2 and #3 may not be representative of what is in the sediment i.n the azeas to be dredged. It was also not made clear whethtr sample #3 was a deeper sample at the same site as #1. 2. Even though Stoneybroak Creek has the appeara�nce of a drainage ditch and not a n�tu�ral, intermittent 5t��am, staff is concerned about plaeing culverts through the area to remeaiy the creek bank erosion problez�n. The study conducted by J M Montgomery in 1991 for the 1:t.ice Creek 'W�tersl�ed District (RCWD} noted a lag time in stormwatez� delivery to Locke Lake due to the attenuatin� effects af storag�: areas in less densely dcveloped, non-storm sewerec� areas. The same wau�d likely hold true for Staneybrook Creek in that, by construeting storm sewers ta confrol ercek bank erosion in one area, the veiacity will be increased tc� Areas downstream. The increase in velocity would exacerbate the amount of erosaon, thereby slufting and intez�sifying the problem, not solving it. '�'I-+e study alsa mentioned tha.t "meandering of' a"stream is a�j proeess and, barring complcte armorin� of the channel, inevitable" (emphasis added). AIternati�ve methods should be considered ta acidress tbe creek bank erosion problem such as bio-en�ineering of the oreek banks, the construction of wetlands upstxeazn from the problem area, etc. Even if the sedi.ment dredged from Locke Lake in Phase I of the project praves #o be acceptable for �aJ.aeement in the crcek, it would be preferable to see the dredged material used tv restore the backyards and property that was "lost," 520 Lafayette Rd.

The city of Fridley and the RC'VVD should be aware of a study canducted by the 1V1PCA in 19$0 following the discavery of buried storage tanks, cantauung coal tar, near Rice Creek in A.r�oka County. Those stoz�age tanks were found at a site far�meriy occupied by National Pole and Treabng Campany. Th� prelimin�uy results oi sediment samples from five sites indi�ated that the site in Locke Lake had t�le second highest level o� cantamination of all the sites and that the highest level of coniarnina�ion occi,ured at the sit� just upstream from the lake.

The following is a response to the : issues identified in your letter. 1. Your comments in paragraph 1 relate to information that was identified in our SDS permit and not specifically included in the EAW. It appears there is some confusion regarding soil sample data provided as supplementaiy information. The sediment grain size identif'ied in the attachment to the SDS permit, addressed soil samples taken from Locke Lake in 1990 to determine the sediment grain size and usability. The sediment samples identi�ed by MVTL Laboratories were an attempt to identify any hazardous materials that may have accumulated in the Locke Lake sediment. In the data submitted, the hazardous material sampling at site 1 and 2 were taken from 1-foot depths and a second sample was taken from site 1 at a 5-foot depth. These were the depths identified as possibly impacted by the planned excavation. It is understood that sample No. 2 is in proximity to the contamination sample identified in your paragraph No. 4. 2. Stonybrook Creek is not an intermittent stream, it is a continually running storm water outlet to the Mississippi River. The flows are considerably different as the Rice Creek Watershed District has a watershed basin of 204 square miles and Stonybrook Creek has a watershed basin of less than 1,000 acres. It is believed that the proposed erosion solution to Stonybrook Creek with a pipe and a retaining wall channel is an appropriate solution for this problem. _ 3. The EAW references the soil samples taken in 1991 on the top of page 3. 10.10 February l, 1996 Page 2 4. As noted previously, it is understood that one of the hazardous material samples that was taken by the City in 1991 is in close proximity to the sample taken by the MPCA in 1980. The City is currently working with Judy Mader of MPCA regarding this area and the permit for soil disposaL 5. The dam has not been filled to maximize the available funds for the excavation project. Prior to the dam failure in 1990, both the City and the Rice Creek Watershed District were aware of the sediment accumulation because of the loss of depth that was found in the impoundment. It is expected that the City Council will make a determination on the EAW at their February 12, 1996 Council meeting. Thank you for your review and comments. I hope this response clarifies any questions you may have. If you need any additional information, please contact me at 572-3550. Sincerely yours, -� ,---==�= �" � �_�-�-�-- `�John G.

Flora, Public Works Director DATE: February 12, 1996 SUBJECT: Stonybrook Creek Bank Stabilization Project No. 246 On Tuesday, February 6, 1996, at 11:00 am in the Municipal Center, we opened bids for the Stonybrook Creek Bank Stabilization Project No. 246. We received seven bids. The low bid was submitted by Schield Construction Company of Apple Valley. There was an addition error in the Schield unit price extensions, establishing the low bid of $320,S96.15. The bids received were over the City estimate. As a means of reducing the cost, we have reviewed the bid items and determined that the topsoil borrow bid at $11,160 is not necessary as there is sufficient bonow material available from Locke Lake. Therefore, we would propose to delete this item from the construction requirements. Schield Construction is agreeable to this change. Based upon the cost associated with the Stonybrook Creek and Locke Lake dam excavation, there are sufficient funds available to cover these improvements. Recommend the City Council receive the bids and award the contract for the Stonybrook Creek Bank Stabilization Project No. 246 to Schield Construction Company in the amount of $320,596.15.
