Subject: Review of Classification and Compensation Plan
Date: May 7, 1996
Following passage of the Minnesota Local Government Pay Equity Act
of 1984 the Metro Area Management Association (MAMA) contracted
with Control Data Business Advisors (CDBA) in 1985 to develop a
classification plan for about 130 cities throughout the state. We
adopted this plan when we revised our classification and
compensation plan in 1987.
By 1991 it was clear that the original CDBA classification plan
needed to be revised and simplified. In the meantime CDBA had sold
its classification plan to Personnel Decisions Inc. (PDI). A MAMA
committee worked with PDI for two and one half years on the
revision which was completed in early 1994. The committee greatly
simplified and reorganized the questionnaires, added new tasks,
revised some task values, and increased the number of benchmark
positions from 29 to 73. By early 1995 PDI had ceased its support
of the old CDBA classification plan.
As a result of these developments, the City of Fridley was faced
with the necessity of converting from the old CDBA to the new PDI
point �stem and benchmarks. The alternative was to develop or
adopt an entirely different classification system.
Susan Irber and Bill Hunt began this task in March of 1995. Lisa
McConnell's outstanding computer skills and familiarity with the
PDI classification system were instrumental in completing the task.
At the same time a number of department heads had requested review
of certain positions in the light of changes in duties which had
occurred since 1987 as well as entirely new positions.
We administered questionnaires to 12 employees. Added to this we
addressed your concern that any re-classifications and subsequent
salary adjustments not be out of line with compensation in
comparable cities. We reviewed the market value of nearly every
position using the DCA Stanton Group V averages and medians for all
but a few positions.

Memorandum to William W. Burns,
Review of Classification and
Compensation Plan
May 7, 1996
Page Two
We have completed our review of the City's Classification and
Compensation Plan and recommend the following:
l. Convert our old point values to the new PDI point values by
anchoring the two systems at 40 points and expanding the
grades and ranges from five points to six points. This seems
to provide the best fit between the two systems.
2. Adopt the new benchmarks for comparable positions.
3. Adjust the point values of each position in relationship to
benchmarks. Where the new applicable benchmark was greater
than the new point value, we have adjusted the value to that
of the benchmark. Where the converted point value was higher
than the new benchmark we have allowed up to a maximum of
three points of adjustment (one half of a range or grade).
This fits in with the way we adjusted to benchmarks in 1987.
4. In positions which involve rotating shifts (Police Officers,
full-time Firefighters, and Office Assistants in the Police
Department) we adjusted point values upward by 3 points.
Again, this fits in with what we did in 1987.
Acceptance of these recommendation would result in higher
compensation for 27 emplayees in 11 positions. Ten of some seventy
positions have been reclassified, and one employee was promoted to
a new position. Details are in the attached spread sheet.
The annual cost, including step adjustments, in 1996 $$ would be
about $84, 203.53. (Gen�ral Fund: $76,414.55; SWAP Fund:
$3,900.38; and CATV Fund: $3,888.60.) If the promotion were
effective January 1, 1996 and the reclassifications were effective
April l, 1996, the additional cost for 1996 would be about
$63,756.83. (General Fund: $57,915.09; SWAP Fund: $2,925.29; and
CATV Fund: $2,916.45.)
We have extensive documentation for these recommendations and would
be happy to review them with you at your convenience.

TO: WILLIAM W. BURNS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: RICHARD D. PRIBYL, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: CAPITAL OUTLAY REQUEST FOR ERGONOMIC MODIFICATIONS
DATE: May 10, 1996
During a recent Council meeting the Capital Improvement Program was reviewed. As a result,
some questions were asked regarding the necessity for the replacement of offics chairs.
Attached to this memo is some pertinent information regarding that request.
You should be aware that the cost for the three recent repetitive motion injuries is
approximately $130,000 (with reserves). We have recently had three other individuals that have
been diagnosed with wrist and forearm injuries.
The pertinent issue with the office chairs relates to proper posture and positioning in relation
to the work surface. Because each one of our employees tends to be built differently, their
position to the work surface will be different. Each person and their work area are different
and have their own issues, but the chairs tend to be at the center of many of the corrective
actions. One of the requirements to establish a uniform position to the work surface, where
body sizes and shapes vary, is to provide an adjustable locking chair. The adjustments that are
be required are chair height, forearm support and lumbar adjustment and support.
It would seem reasonable that workstation evaluations should be done on a periodic basis to
reduce our risk of worker's compensation injuries. These evaluations are fairly simple to
complete, and a City employee could be trained to review stations; in fact, I believe Susan Irber
was trained shortly before she retired. The City should consider training another employee to
conduct these types of reviews and make recommendations for proper ergonomic positioning.
Since workstation reviews should be completed on any workstations before changes occur, it
might be more appropriate to set aside a reseive of some sort for workstation modifications.
This reserve would only be used as workstations get reviewed and on an as needed basis for
these types of elcpenditures. The Capital Improvement request could be more appropriately
titled Ergonomic Modifications.
All departments have voiced concerns regarding the need to reduce risk related to the injuries
from repetitive motion activities.
My only reason for writing this letter is to bring this situation to your attention in an attempt
to reduce our worker's compensation and down time associated with these injuries.

Safety Concerns Relating to Repetitive Motion Injuries
(also known as Cumulative Trauma Disorders)
May 10, 1996
In recent years there has been a marked increase in the incidence
of repetitive motion injuries in the workplace, mainly amonq
clerical personnel. This is part of a nation wide trend and seems
to be related to the increased use of computers in place of
typewriters, calculators, and other office equipment. I have
reviewed records from various departments. Although I have not
been able to identify all the activities in the past, I have been
able to establish a chronology, albeit with some gaps.
May 7, 1992 Tom Gross, Loss Control Representative for Berkley
Administrators (administers our workers'
compensation insurance), conducted an ergonomic
study of nineteen work stations throughout the
Municipal Center and made recommendations for
improving work station design.
Jan. 13, 1993 Gaylene Gunberg from MultiCenter Therapy conducted
an ergonomic analysis of two work sites, one in the
— Police Department (Investigator) and another in the
Community Development Department (Secretary). In
both instances she recommended that the City
acquire easily adjustable ergonomic chairs.
Sept/Oct 1994 Distributed pamphlet entitled "Preventing
Repetitive Motion Injuries" to all regular,
continuing employees.
Nov. 10, 1994 Galena Gunberg conducted job site analyses in the
City Manager's Office and in the Police Department
(Office Assistants). She recommended easily
adjustable chairs for both work stations.
February 1995 Gaylene Gunberg conducted job site analyses in the
City Manager's Office (Secretary) and in the
Finance Department (numerous locations). In most,
if not all cases, she recommended easily adjustable
chairs.

June l, 1995 Gaylene Gunberg conducted job site analyses for
nine workstations in the Community Development
Department and made recommendations for each site.
There were no recommendations for ergonomic
chairs.
June 12, 1995 Gaylene Gunberg conducted job site analyses for
three workstations in the Engineering Division. In
each case she recommended an ergonomic chair.
During 1995 On three occasions a Qualified Rehabilitation
Consultant examined the workstation of a secretary
in the Community Development Department in
conjunction with a workers' compensation claim and
return to work recommendation. Among other things,
the QRC recommended an easily adjustable chair.
Sept. 20, 1995 William Baumgartner, a loss control representative
for Berkley Administrators, reviewed all of the
work stations in the Municipal Center with regard
to prevention of repetitive motion injuries. He
noted that the City had not yet implemented some of
the recommended changes to work stations which
would help prevent future repetitive motion
injuries.
There may be some other instances that I have not been able to
document. I think we had an analysis done of one of the
workstations in the City Garage and possibly at the Nature Center.
I recall numerous discussions of repetitive motion injuries in the
Safety Committee. If you wish, I can go back through the minutes
and identify specific instances.
In conclusion, for at least the past four years city staff has been
concerned with prevention of repetitive motion injuries and has
sought out professional assistance to recommend work station
modifications which frequently involve an easily adjustable
ergonomically designed chair.

Overview:
In a proactive attempt to prevent repetitive motion and back injuries in its
Finance Department, the City of Fridley contracted MultiCenter Therapy-Santema and
Associates to perform an ergonomic analysis of 14 specific workstation designs on
February lOth and 17th, 1995.
The subsequent analysis focused upon the body position of the employees as they perform
their work. We sought to spectfically identify the stresses created by static, awkward or
inappropriate body positions so we cou(d offer recommendations for reducing these
stresses. Our primary goal was to minimize awkward working posture while successfully
completing the tasks. Conclusions and recommendations are gathered from observing the
listed employees performing their job tasks.

. Shoulder height reach
. Eye strain
. Neck bending
. Pressure on the back of thighs
• Back strain
Recommendatiotrs:
1) Provide a wrist rest (for both computers)
Ms. Smith has a tendency to type with her wrists in a bent position_ A wrist rest
encourages neutral wrist position. At time of analysis we tried various keyboard heights
to optimize Ms. Smith's wrist position. I encouraged her to try these positions throughout
the next few days to see what is most comfortable. The importance of proper wrist
position was discussed at the time of analysis.
2) Place mouse next to keyboard (for both computers)
:�:
Placing the mouse next to the keyboard will minimize the reach necessary. This wi11 �
decrease shoulder strain that Ms. Smith is noticing when using the mouse. Some wrist
,,,� ,�. :.,. .;: rests can -accommodate both the keyboard and mouse. This would be a nice ada�tation to _

3) Lower monitor (for both computers)
It is recommended to remove the hard drive and place the monitor on a lower surface so
the top of the screen is at eye level. This will minimize the neck strain necessary.
4) Lower printer _
It is recommended to lower the printer and move it closer for easy access. This will
minimize the extended reach above shoulder height
5) �Provide a document holder
An adjustable document holder that accommodates 11 x 17 paper is recommended.
Suggested position for the document holder is a 45° degree angle and placed just below
the monitor. This will minimi�r: neck bending ptesently requited.

but, it is causes frustration because it keeps falling of the screen.
6) Provide security pass necessary to access the storage room via the elevator
Ms. Erickson is occasionally required to store various boxes of files downstairs. Boxes
weigh approxima.tely 10-50 pounds each A cart has been provided to transport the files
via elevator. Ms. Erickson has been uncomfortable interrupting individuals for security
access to get to ihe storage area using the eievator and therefore avoids completing this
task as long as she can. She avoids performing the job correctly using the cart and
elevator and will carry the boxes down stairs and walk the distance to the storage area.
It is recommended to provide easy security access to the storage area. This will
encourage her to perform the job correctly and minimize the back stress from lifting and
carrying hea.vy boxes down steps to the required distance. .

Generat recommendations for ail work stations:
1) Educate in proper sitting position
The chair is the most important component of the workstation, especially if the work
� surfaces are not adjustable in heighf. Education is proper chair adjustments is important. .
' Instruct workers to adjust thear chair to maintain comfort and optimal seating. Optimal . ' .
- seated position allows the body to work in its strongest position with the least amount of '

2) Provide an anti-glare scxeen as ne�essa�Y
� 3) Close window coverings .
One concem noted in obsetving various work stations was the glare on the computer
screen from the overhead lighting. Glare can reduce contrast, recognition and readability .
f c r on the screen. This can be fati ' on the e e muscles and lead to the
o haracte s gwng y .
. :
perception of eye strain. An anti-glare scrceri would �m»-� the glare coming from the � � .
,
I
overhead lighting. _
:
Brightness in the visuai field with the monito� facing the window causes eye fatigue due to
the amount of light the eye is taking in from the brighmess coaung through the window. �
If at all possible it is recommended to move the monitor at a right angte to the window `
but, in some cases this was not feas�iele. it is recommended to close the window coverings
directly behind the monitor to eliminate the brightness in the visual field even on a cloudy
day.

4) Educate in proper wrist rest use
Wrist rests aze to provide a rest during brief pauses in typir►g• They are not recommended
to rest on while typing as they caa incxease the pressure on the palm and increase stress to
the wrist muscles.
5) Monitor Color
Ms. Ridout had raised a question regarding monitor color a.nd whether to be concemed
with effects o.f particular color. The following information was gathered from the
American National Institute for Human Factors Engineering of VDT work statioas.
Section 6.
Color may be used for coding or contrast. The presentation of dark colors on a
light background are reeommended because they may reduce the effects of
= reflections on the screen compared to using a light color on a_siark background.
Pure blue on a dark background�should be avoided for text, thin 1'mes or high
resolution information Simultaneous presentation of pure red and blue, red and
green, or blue and green on a dark background may result in a 3-dimensional effect
and should be avoided unless it is intentional or acceptable. Red should be avoided
by the color blind due to the insensitivity to that color.

Office of the City Manager
William W. Burns
Michael Corbett of Spectrum Consultants, Inc., gave us a free hour of his time and reviewed
the responses to our equipment maintenance request for proposal. Mr. Corbett was not able
to provide any detailed information, but he did indicate that the City's bid was the lowest.
He said the level of service provided by the contractors might be higher, but after only
quickly reviewing the responses, he was not sure. If we want a more in-depth analysis of the
responses, he is willing to provide it to us, but we would have to pay him for his services.

In xesponse to the Council's request, staff prepared a fleet maintenance contract proposal based upon
sample received. Three fixms had shown initial interest. Two bids were received:
,� �� -
Not included in the proposals from the two firms is the additional costs for corxecting pre-existing
conditions. The firms propose to conduct an inspection of all our equipment and the facilities. Any
deficiencies noted are to be corrected as a direct cost outside of the bid figures. While the equipment
costs may not be extensive, we are aware that the facilities upgrade costs aze in the thousands of
dollars.
In addition, both firms indicate they will not include over-aged equipment in their tazgeted program.
This would indicate that we would have to pay considerable direct costs for repair work or replace
all dated equipment.
Attached are Paul Lawrence's comments on his review of the proposals.

Ryder/NII.,S Inc. and TECOM Inc. proposals contain first year costs that are not included in their
target cost.
1. All pre-existing conditions are excluded from target costs. All City equipment will be
inspected in the first six months of the contract, and all major defects or failures during this
time period are not target costs.
2. The garage facility will be inspected durin� the first 6 months, and all OSHA and EPA
problems will be conected by the City. RC1VPs study estimates these costs at several hundred
thousand dollars.
I would recommend that the City tie down these costs, if consideration is given to contracting with
either firm that submitted a proposal. These undefined costs could easily exceed several hundred
thousand dollars, particularly the garage improvements.
Both firms excluded older equipment from the target cost. Equipment that will be excluded because
of age should be identified. The City has defened equipment purchases in recent years, and a large
part of the existing fleet could be subject to exclusion from the target cost.
Memo to John Flora Regarding Overview
Page 2
It is my opinion that the real cost of contract maintenance will be considerably higher than those
contained in either proposal. The age of the City fleet will remove some equipment from the target
cost, and the first year cost for required facility improvements and the repair of pre-existing
equipment conditions could be high.

SUBJECT: RFP Equ�ment Maintenance, Ryder/NII..S Pro�osal _______________________________
---------------------- -----
I have reviewed Ryder/NII..S Inc's proposal to provide fleet maintenance services for the Ciry of
Fridley. I do not believe Ryder/NII..S Inc's proposal reflects the true annual cost for maintenance
service, as the proposal seems to exclude equipment that exceeds APWA guidelines for design life
in the target cost. Ryder/MI,S Inc's proposal also excludes certain major repairs in the first 6 months
of the contract from the target cost.
Ryder/NII.S mentions in their proposal that they will request that the City purchase or replace shop
equipment. What will happen if the City fails to approve suggested purchases?
The first year's cost will be considerably more than those contained in the proposal.
Page 11-1 Within the first 6 months, Ryder/1Va,S Inc. will furnish the City a list of upgrades
needed at the garage to bring the facility into compliance with OSHA and EPA
requirements. The recently completed RCM study indicated that these costs would
be at least several hundred thousand dollars. The improvements would most likely
have to be completed, as the City could not require the contractor to work in an
unsafe facility.
Page 11-3 Repair costs for equipment that exceeds guidelines for design life will not be a target
cost. In addition, a11 City equipment will be inspected for pre-existing conditions.
Repairs revealed dwing the inspection and major repairs during the first 6 months of
the contract are not target costs.
Page 11-9 Callback (overtime) is all costs plus 10%. Proposal implies that costs are only 10%
above the normal rate.

SUBJECT: RFP Equ�ment Maintenance TECOM Pro�osal_
----------------------
I have reviewed TECOM Inc's proposal to provide fleet maintenance services for the City of Fridley.
I do not believe that TECOM Inc's proposal reflects the true annual cost for maintenance service, as
the proposal seems to exclude equipment that they determine to be "beyond its life cycle" from the
target cost. TECOM should be required to identify equipment that is included in this category.
TECOM does not state clearly that installing truck bodies, snowplows etc. are target costs as on
Pages 11-40 unusual amounts of welding and fabrication are non-target costs.
In severallocations in the TECOM proposal, mention is made of the City purchasing and replacing
equipment for the garage facility. What will happen if the City declines to approve suggested
purchases?
The first year cost will be considerably higher than those contained in the proposal.
During the first 90 days of the contract all City equipment will be inspected, and a11 major pre-
existing conditions will be corrected as a non-target cost. Staff is unaware what these costs
will be.
2. The garage facility will be inspected, and all safety deficiencies will be corrected. The RCM
study estimated these costs at several hundred thousand dollars.
$14,158 in transition costs is not contained in bid proposal.
4. I have placed stick-on tabs on several pages, and highlighted certain paragraphs on these
pages that I feel need further development.
Page:
1-9 l. a. City doesn't contract out any more work than contractor is proposing to sub-
contract.

Contractor needs to define what is meant by "unpredictable nature".
Increasing staffing by two.
11-12 What is considered sufficient office space? Currently there are no vacant offices at
the garage.
Define what office and shop equipment the City will provide.
What happens if City doesn't furnish equipment the contractor requests?
11-13 "TECOM will notify City officials of any interior/exterior defects discovered, and take
immediate preventive measures to preclude any" is an incomplete statement.
11-21 Bringing the shop up to code could be a large undefined expense. The City would
likely have to comply with the contractor's request, as he couldn't be required to
perform necessary work in an unsafe building. RCM's report noted several hundred
thousand dollars of work to correct conditions noted in their study.
11-25 First year of the contract will contain an undefined level of non-target costs to correct
any "pre-existing conditions".
11-40 "We understand that unusual and extensive welding, fabrication and major
modifications will be performed as a non-target cost". This statement implies
installing truck bodies and snowplows will not be a target cost.

TO: William Burns, City Manager
FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
Scott Hickok, Planning Coordinator

SUBJECT: Council Information - Miniature Pot Bellied Pig
Request by Cindy Langendorfer of 15 63`� Way NE.
Ms. Langendorfer contacted several city staff inembers with
questions about the animal control section of the city code.
Her specific concern is Pot Bellied Pigs. Ms. Langendorfer
indicated that she has own�d two pot bellied pi�gs (in
Fridley) for more than a year. At this time Ms. Langendorfer
is urging the City Council to consider an interpretation
and/or code modification that would allow her to keep her
Pigs-
CODE ISSIIE
Code Section 101.03, states, "No person shall engage in the
keeping, raising, feeding, or caring for livestock within
the City limits of Fridley without first have obtaining a
license to do so". The Code is very specific about licensing
procedures for the keeping of livestock.
Code Section 101.01 (10), defines iivestock as, "Horses,
cattle, goats, rabbits, sheep, swine, fowl, and other
animals used for utility".
LANGENDORFER POSITION
Specifically, Ms. Langendorfer is questioning the
classification of miniature pot bellied pigs as livestock.
Her position is that pot bellied pigs are swine, are
livestock, and are also domesticated animals. She believes
that because "livestock for utility" is the phrase used in
the City's animal ordinance, livestock that is not for
utility would be acceptable.

The vast majority of ordinances in this metropolitan area
either are silent regarding animals such as Pot Bellied Pigs
or are worded (and interpreted) like Fridley's ordinance.
Locally, all neighboring communities, except Coon Rapids,
interpret their ordinances as "not allowing" pigs. Lee
Starr, Coon Rapids indicated that he believes that since
their ordinance does not specifically prohibit pigs, they
are permitted. Starr stated he knew of a couple pigs in his
community.
STATE VETERINARIAN'S POSITION
Dr. Landman, Veterinarian for the State of Minnesota, Board
of Animal Health, was contacted by the Fridley City staff.
Dr. Landman provided a wonderful insight into the Pot
Bellied Pig issue. Unfortunately for Ms. Langendorfer, Dr.
Landman's position is not one that supports a City
endorsement of Pot Bellied or other pigs as pets.
Dr. Landman stated that 5 years ago pot bellied pigs became
popular as pets for some unknown reason. The trend however
seems to have shifted and he has not received many requests
lately for Pot Bellied Pig information.
Dr. Landman does not believe Pot Bellied Pigs should be pets
for a number of reasons.
1. Pigs are territorial,
2. Pigs are extremely protective,
3. Pigs are aggressive,
4. Pigs can not be vaccinated against rabies. There
is no known vaccination. Horses, sheep, dogs and
cats have known vaccinations. Pigs do not. This
is not to say pigs are not susceptible to rabies.
Only a pseudo-rabies vaccination is available at
this time. Pseudo-rabies is not a human health
risk. Rabies is a significant health risk.
5. A disease called Brucellosis (also known as Bang�s
Disease) is a human health risk known to be
related to swine. Though more prevalent 30 years
ago, Brucellosis is nonetheless a risk known to
swine and transferable to humans.
Pot Bellied Pigs
May 9, 1996
PAG� 3
6. Special humane society-type shelters have been
developed to keep unwanted pot bellied pigs.
Typically, humane shelters do not provide for
pigs, so special shelters evolved. Many people's
opinion of their pigs change once they have grown.
Many pigs are consequently homeless, put up for
adoption, etc.
Dr. Landman concluded by stating it is his personal belief
that pigs do not make good pets.
STAFF POSITION
Staff believes that Ms. Langendorfer's argument of "used for
utility", is one of semantics. Swine is clearly listed as
livestock. The phrase "and other animals used for utility",
does not necessarily apply to the list of animals described.
The phrase is meant to include those animals not listed, but
used for utility.
Staff has received a small amount of calls inquiring about
pigs and other animals over the last two years; possibly a
half dozen. Its hard to tell if they are residents or
others who want to find a community which permits them.
There will be a land use impact despite the size of the pig.
Accessory structures in rear yards of single family areas
will be constructed to house the animals. It is also likely
that the rear yard will be used by the pigs. Complaints
could be filed regarding noise, odor, maintenance, and
appearance of properties. These impacts are not consistent
with the character of a R-1, single family area.
Based on Dr. Landman's opinion (and inspite of submitted
materials), staff believes that the City's ordinance does
not require amendment and that the ability to keep livestock
should be limited to the specific procedure outlined in Code
Section 101. Also note that the Code requires 1 acre of
property per animal.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff does not recommend that the Council initiate an
ordinance to permit Pot Bellied Pigs as pets. If Council
agrees, arrangements with Ms. Langendorfer about keeping her
pigs on site will be negotiated. ,

Re: Miniature Potbellied Pigs
Dear City Council Members,
I am a resident of Fridley since July 1987, my daughter last May of 1995
after checking your ordinance which we interpreted as swine for utility use, we
purchased a miniature potbelly pig which we named her "Baby Emily". Everyone
I talked with did not consider a potbelly pig as a utility pig, also as long. as we
checked out all the information regarding these fun and loving animals, we found
them to only have been used as a domesticated "In Home" pet. Then in August we
purchased our 2nd potbelly pig who is a neutered male named "Spucls McKinzy"
who is just as loving and gentle. We also has his tusks surgically removed when he
was neutered.
Now, however I would like to propose an amendment to the animal control
code under livestock that would clarify there position as a dorrcestic pet and not a
farm animal raised for food, or other commercial use. As there is currently no
distinction made between the miniature potbellied variety and the much larger farm
variety of pigs.
The purpose �f this letter is to se�k a change in our city's ordinance to allow
for the classification of miniature potbellied pigs as a household pet. Until
recently, who would have contemplated that a"pig" would mean anything other than
a farm animal, not to mention thut anyone would actually want to have a pig as a
pet. However, times have changed and the definition of "household pet" has been
expanded. Other cities have recognized the potbellied pig as a pet and have
adjusted their city ordinances accordingly. People are coming to recognize the
wisdom of this choice to have the potbellied pig in their homes. Here is a clean,
neat, quiet, affectionate animal who is healthier and hertier than the readily
accepted cat or dog and poses no nuisance whatsoever. Fridley needs to keep pace
with the times and recognize that miniature potbellied pigs are a new form of
domestic animal.
You may not agree with our choice of pet, but the arguments in favor of its
acceptance as a domestic animal are persuasive. I have attached information which
takes a more detailed look at our current information , from many professions and
departments. I am proposing that you take a closer look at these wonderful
animals as household pets. I am available after 3 pm if you would like to call me
. f'or anything, any questions or if you would like to come to my home and meet our
wonderful "4 legged " members of our household, please call 571-1078 or on my
cellular at 799-3151. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to
hearing from you before May 6th council meeting, if possible.
Very trulya yours,

Called City of Fridley to get clarifzcation of their animal ordinances, specifically
under Livestock. Talked to Jean first at 3:45 pm. She went to look up the
ordinance under livestock what is the definition of utility animal. She
recommended I talk to Bill Champa tomorrow. Then she transferred me to talk to
Curt Snyder the Code Enforcer Officer for the city of Fri�lley. He stated that the
Pot Belly Pig is listed under Livestock because that is what the U of M
Veterinarian's list them under. They also have them as a concern only because they
do not know how these animals effect the health of the general public and what
vaccinations would be needed to protect the general public from getting ill from
something that could be transferred �i-om them to humans. He admitted there is
not much known about these animals.
Got list of council members and phone #'s- asked that Nancy Jorgenson call me
and gave them my phone and name, to discuss this with them because there are to
many vague ordinances. I've called previously and have gotten these answers:
1. No, can't have pot belly pigs, because they are hoofed animals.
2. No, can't have pot belly pigs, because they are considered livestock.
3. No, they are listed under animals that are forbidden by the city.
Know Curt Snyder also went through these questions with me and stated that
animals listed by the federal government or state laws that are normally wide and
could be dangerous to the public such as lions, lynx's, and such ure forbidden.
When I mentioned his hot line FIL (Fridley Information Line) states pot belly pigs
in the same area as lion's and such, but in the copy of ordinances I picked up it
does not have them listed in that area as forbidden. Which one are peopde to
consider correct the printed ordinances or the one on FIL line. He stated the
printed ordinance is what you go by. They just haven't been able to realdy put a
classifzcation on them as to what area they belong in.
I asked that if I contacted the U of M Veterinarian and talked with them on more
clarification would they except this. He stated it could be brought before the
council or evidence could and they could clarify it more specifically.
April 11, 1996
Put a call through to i1 of M Veterinarian and told them the situation, they stated
they would have a doctor call me back before 2:30 pm at my office. Julie stated
that "I wouldn't have said that pot �lly pigs are livestock, I don't know of anyone
in the department who would have given that information. " Then she gave me the
name of the Boar�l of Animal Health to call for more specific information
regarding federal and state regulations for pot belly pigs. The number is 29�r2942.
I called the Board of Animal Health at 4:19 pm and talked with a Dr. Anderson.
There is a lack of knowledge on these pigs, but because they are in the swine group
they are classifzed as livestock. Anoka County only requires that they be tested and
vaccinated once a lifetime for Pseudo Rabies (herpie virus, and not transmittable
to humans). There is not Federal or State law on pot belly pigs being kept as a pet.
In fact the only law on them is when they are imported to this country from
anather because a few were found to have TB. This is not a problem with pot belly
pigs born in this country and therefore there is not regulation Federal or state
saying they can't he owned or used for a pet.
m
April 12, 1996
Called Fridley City Hall to speak with city clerk Bill Champa at I1:01 and left a
message on his voice mail stating that I was looking for clarification regarding
some of his ordinances concerning pets in the city.
His return call he stuted " My thoughts are this is a clussic case of needing
education. " I spoke with him about what Curt Snyder stated that they based there
fzndings on the U of M classifying them as Livestock. I told him about how the
U of M used to earlier when they were fzrst in the U. S. but since then they classify
them as a pet because we don't raise them to eat, we housebreak them and they live
in the home. Also, told them what the Board of Animal Health has them classifzed
as livestock only because they are in the swine family, but they state there is no
federal or state law that forbids them as pets. Only requirement is that once in a
life time they have blood tested and shot for pseudo rabies. Also, that there is no
specific diseases transmitted to humans by pot belly pigs.
I stated that I needed a written notice from them if they are willing to do this so
my licensing worker would have no problem concerning city ordinance and that I
do have up to date health cenificate's from the vet on all my animals. Also, gave
him Drew Fitzpatricks phone number who runs the MN hoofed animal humane
society, who is willing to help inform them on pot belly pigs and there needs in
order to provide information that can be used in making the ordinance more
specific and less vague. Mr. Champa admitted that the ordinance was vague and
would welcome my help and knowledge to set up a more adequate ordinance
pertaining to the keeping of pot belly pigs.
I faxed this and will drop off books next Monday for him to be able to read up
and be more educated on pot belly pigs and there needs. Will call l�efore S pm to
see i f the letter was written for me or if he needs to get more information first on
our pets. He stated he didn't see where it would be a problem to write such a letier
but needed to talk to someone else fzrst and would get back with me. I did give him
the fax number at my work and my home phone number in case he needed more
information.

Local Ciqarette Ordinance
May 8, 1996
Durinq the last leqislative session the tobacco and retail qrocerp industry
attempted to pass leqislation prohibitinq local ciqarette requlation. The
current state la� makes it a qross misdemeanor to sell aiqarettes to
persons under aqe 18 which carries a maximum tin� of $3,000 and a jail
sentence of up to one year. That may appear to be sutficient but it
provides no incentive to the liaensee to insure that ciqar�ttes are not
sold to children. The fine is to the clerk vho may or may not be traiaed
in identification ot the purchaser. our past enforcement under the state
law continues to show that about 30-40� ot the licensees Nill sell
ciqarettes to children.
There are also ciqarette vendinq machines in some locations �hera there is
no positive control over the purchase oi ciqarettes. It has been said that
if a person does not start smokinq as a child (prior to aqe 18) the chance
is that they will not. We have been involved with tbe Anoka Countp Assist
which is an attempt to control the access ot children to ciqarettes. It is
a recommendation from that coalition that communities adopt ordinances that
will assist in controllinq access of tobacco products to children. The
qrocery industzy puts forth an arqument that numerous local ordinanaes make
it too difficult for them to understand and entorce. The state la� does
not chanqe. It is illeqal to sell ciqarett�s to anyone under aqe 18. The
local ordinance only provides for a community to maks it known that we are
not in favor of youth usinq tobacco products and make it more difficult for
them to obtain them.
Most of the current local ordinances approach the issue from the
perspectiva of a lesser penalty (misdemeanor) for the clerk but also
provides for increasinq civil penalties to the licensee includinq an
eventual revocation of their license. I have enclosed a memo from the
Department of Health vhich lists somo oi the considerations and the City of
Plymouth ordinance which appears to address most oi the issues. Staf!
would also recommend an increase in licensinq fees (to about $100) to
defray the espense of compliance checks.
It is our desire to discuss this issue with the city Council at the May
13th, meetinq in order to determine the Council�s wishes reqardinq
proposinq possible leqislation.

Model Ordinance n Tobacco Licensing
Apri117,1995
At the April 12, 1995 Anoka ASSIST Coalition meeting I volunteered to provide
each of you with examples of tobacco licensing ordinances that local communities
have adopted.
Enclosed are two of the better ordinances that we have on file. The City of Eden
Prairie and Fergus Falls have recendy enacted ordinances that effect the licensing of
tobacco products. Included with the material from Fergus Falls are copies of other
documents that were used in the effort to pass their ordinance.
In general, provisions that have been enacted at the local level include policy option
that:
• Prohibit the sale or distribution of tobacco products to persons under 18 years of
age.
• Require merchants to request photographic proof of age for customers who
appear to be under 21 years of age.
• Require a license for retail sale of tobacco products. Earmark fees to fund
enforcement efforts.
• Establish a graduated penalty system which culminates in suspension or
revocation of the tobacco retail license for repeated sales to minors.
• Establish a public appeal process for suspension or revocation of license. The
retailer may be required to pay the costs of the appeals process.
� Enforcement: Systematic, unannounced compliance checks of all retailers by
underage "inspectors."
• Require a merchant education training program.
• Ban the sale of tobacco products through vending machines in all locations.
I am recommending that the Coalition consider using the aforementioned
provisions as a means of assessing the current status of local tobacco licensing
ordinances in Anoka county.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. I can be reached at 612/623-5751.
