FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 27, 1997 pAGE 2
wished to reduce the state's dependency on property taxes which
means revenue would have to come from the sales or income tax. She
believes that the state needs a good education system, as well as
to pro�ide other services, and taxes will be needed. She is on the
Education Finance Committee and will play a major role in
development of policy.

City.
Senator Betzold stated that for the residents in the southern half
of Fridley, he, as well as Senator Novak and Representative
Chaudhary, wants everyone to keep them informed also.
Councilwoman Bolkcom questioned the tobacco legislation and if the
City could have tougher laws than what is provided by state
statute.
Senator Betzold stated that he has not seen the bill, but he would
support any efforts to stop teenage smoking. He feels that tougher
state laws are needed, and he is wiZling to work with the City to
curb teenage smoking.
Representative Johnson stated that she would support a state law
for a minimum standard to prevent teenagers from purchasing
tobacco. Although this may impact negatively on what the City may
want to do, she would try to do everything she can to prohibit
teenagers from purchasing cigarettes.
Mayor Jorgenson questioned their stand on the right-of-way issue,
and she asked Mr. Flora to explain.
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that the City has prepared
a draft model ordinance that would allow the City to manage their
right-of-way, and the City would like their support.

sial issue, and she will be watching the developments.

Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that the. �ity
would like their support to fund a revolving loan program. �I'he.
City had over 150 loans processed last year because people in the
community are reinvesting in Fridley. The Council can no longer.
afford to spend year after year for that loan program, and she
hoped funding can be obtained through MHFA or the Livable
Communities Act. The City is taking steps now to prevent decay and
decline of their housing stock, and it is working well.

reinvest in our communities and to keep the population stable in

low and moderate income owners in the amount of $124,848 or 85
percent of the funds, with the balance of the funds to be used by
public service agencies in the amount of $22,000. The public
service agency allocations are as follows; ACCAP {Senior Outreach,
$8,500; Fridley Senior Home Companion, $4,000; Fridley Recreation
and Natural Resources, $4,000; Alexandra House, $3�,000; and
Southern Anoka Community Assistance, $2,500.
Mr. Fernelius stated that a letter was sent to all human service
organizations explaininq the changes in this year's public service
funding policy. Prior to sending this letter staff received
funding requests from CEAP for $3,000 and ACCAP for $9,946. A
request was also received from �ilexandra House for $5,000 to help
with intervention services. CEAP is not included in the proposed
funding; however, ACCAP and Alexandra House are recommended for
funding although not at the levels they requested.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 27, 1997 PAGE 10
Mr. Fernelius stated that two new organizations have also contacted
staff to request CDBG funds. Opportunity Services is an
, organization which provides services to persons with developmental
disabilities and is requesting $5,000 for constructing a new
facility. Tamarisk Resources, Inc. has submitted a request for
$25,000 to help with the c�sts of purchasing a building.
Technically, under HUD regulations, both of these activities are
classified as public facilities, rather than public services. As a
r�sult, funds would have to come from the non-public service pool,
i.e. housing rehabilitation fund.
Councilwoman Bolkcom asked about the requests from Opportunity
Services and what kind of services they provide.
Mr. Fernelius stated'that they provide services to developmentally
disabled adults. Coon Rapids has supported this organization with
funding, but he did not know if any other community has committed
funding.
Ms. Tia-Henry Johnson, Executive Director for CEAP, stated that
CEAP has been a presence in the County for over ten years. In
addition to being a food shelf, they provide financial assistance,
case management for individuals, and assist with special needs.
They are concerned with the fact that this is the first year they
will not receive CDBG funds.
Ms. Johnson stated that CEAP has provided 33,000 pounds.of food�and
spent an additional $29,000 in direct assistance to families. This.
assistance included money to prevent evictions, assistance in
mortgage foreclosures,� transportation fbr families in order to
maintain employment, and child care for families waiting for
subsidized care from the County. She believed these services are
important to the community. All the funds CEAP receives come from
private means .
Ms. Johnson stated that from July through September, 1996, CEAP
served 233 families residing in Fridley. From July through
December, 1996, CEAP provided over $2,900 in financial assistance
to Fridley residents. Fridley residents also utilized the food
shelf over 500 times during this same period. She felt that CEAF
is a presence in the community and should be acknowledged.
Councilman Billings stated that in 1996, the City received requests
totaling $60,000 for CDBG funds, and half of this amount or $30,000
was given to public service agencies. All of the organizations
requesting funding were worthwhile, but the City is not able to
fund many projects that are deserving. Some very worthwhile
organizations are funded, but three times as many organizations are
disappointed because they are not able to obtain funding and this
is unfortunate. It would be nice if the Federal government were
providing funds at the 1980 and early 1990 levels, but this is not
the case.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 27, 1997 PAGE 11
Ms. Lee Carlson, Central Center for Family Resources, stated that
Fridley is a City that cares about their young people which is
evident in Council's support of Project Safety Net. However, she
is disappointed that they were not recommended for funding. The
stresses for youth and families do not decrease. The Blaine branch
closed its doors, which removed another resource.
Ms. Carlson presented a handout listing the variety of services
they provide. She can only speak positively•of the agencies that
the City has selected to fund, as all are working to serve the
needs of the community. '
Ms. Carlson stated that the domestic abuse program their agency
provides is funded by United Way. She. requested that Council ,
reconsider their request. She knows that $2,500 does not seem like
a lot of money, but these are bridges that can be used to help
obtain additional support from other sources. By uti3izing ail
these resources, they can maximize their services. She is grateful
for the City's past support. She hoped if there is not
reconsideration for funding that there is a process where they have
the opportunity to express their need.
Ms. Pat Prinzevalle, Executive Director for Alexandra House, .stated
that she is very grateful that their organization was considered
for funding in the amount of $3,000. She requested that Council
not reduce this amount. They requested $5,000 for intervention
services and work closely with the Police Department. She
appreciates all the organizations and the good. work they do in.
Anoka County.
Ms. Alice Nelson, representing SACA, stated that they are in dire
need of. financing. They expect to serve 2,500 families from
Fridley and 5,000 from Columbia Heights. This year they have
served 3,790 families. She requested that Council consider
providing more funds then allocated so that they can continue to
serve these needy families.
Councilwoman Bolkcom questioned if there could be another way to
obtain funds, such as a community drive, if funding is not through
the CDBG program.
Ms. Nelson stated what has happened is that some of the churches
stopped gathering food for the food shelf. For the amount of
people they serve, $2,500 is not enough. They receive no funds
except for a few small�private donations.
Ms. Nancy Gurney, representing Opportunity Services, stated that
their organization is not applying for on-going funding. The
services they provide are funded by the County, and they are
reqt�esting a one-time funding that will serve all residents of the
County. Coon Rapids has been funding their organization because
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 27, 1997 PAGE 12
they have a facility in Coon Rapids. Coon Rapids probably accounts
for ten percent of the total number of clients they serve.
Ms. Gurney stated that Opportunity Services provides employment
services for low and moderate income persons with disabilities.
They will also be involved with the welfare reform program. The
County asked that they construct a new facility. Their request is
for one time only in order to obtain funds for this building.
Their ongoing services are funded through a tax levy.
Ms. Cathey Weidmann; representing the ACCAP Senior Outreach
Program, thanked Council for their funding of this program. Their
program links volunteers with seniors for outreach services.
Colleen Coyle continues to serve as the Fridley 0utr�ach Worker.
They provide seniors and disabled adults with case management and
referral and advocacy services for individuals in need. 170
seniors were served last year. The goal of the program is to keep
residents living in their homes as long as possible.
Ms. Dee Larson, Blanket of Hope, Inc., stated that last year she
received start-up funding. Her organization helps seniors and the
homeless. She was concerned this was not an open application this
year: If funding is�not received this year she hoped that Council
would consider her organization in the future. She would like to
be made aware of any unspent funds, and she apologized for not
submitting her request sooner.
MOTION by Councilman Billings to receive the letter from Blanket of
Hope, Inc. Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, Mayor Jorgenson declared the motion carried
unanimously.
Ms. Gretchen Hanson, Founder of Tamarisk Resources, stateci that
this organization was created and founded in Fridley four years ago
to care for people in the community who are dying. Everyone in the
organization volunteers their time and receives no compensation.
They are totally dependent on donations, memorials, grants, and
fund raisers. Because of the way they are organized, they do not
have all the restrictions that prevent people from receiving help.
Ms. Hanson stated that Tamarisk presently has about 35 volunteers
who have participated in a very extensive 30 hour training program.
These volunteers enable people in our community who are alone to
feel cared for and loved on their final journey. It is exhausti:ng
for care givers of a terminally ill person. The volunteers give
them a respite. The goal is to keep people who are terminally ill
in their homes and surrounded by their loved ones. No other
organization is providing the services that Tamarisk provides.
Ms. Hanson stated that Tamarisk also acts as a resource center for
people who are dealing with a terminal illness. They want people
to be able to make one telephone call to them. They, in turn,
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 27 1997 PAGE 13
research other organizations to find out what is availabie and come
back with a plan. If Tamarisk closes.its doors, there will be no
one to provide these services. Their goal is to serve only this
area. Their wish is that other communities will emulate like
Tamarisk. They are 3�eing looked at by other communities and not
just in Minnesota, but also in England, Ireland, Moscow and
Romania. Each and every one will need their services at some time.
Everyone is going to die. She hoped that when this happens there
are compassionate care givers available in this community for them
and their loved ones.
No other persons spoke regarding the allocation of the CDBG funds.
MOTION by Councilman Barnette to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Councilman Billings. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Jorgenson declared the motion carried unanimously and the
public hearing closed at 8:40 p.m.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that Representative Chaudhary is in
attendance at the meEting and asked if he wished to address the
Council.
Representative Chaudhary thanked Mayor Jorgenson for allowing him
the opportunity to address the Council. There are two most recent
items in the legislature that affect Fridley. One is the bill that
Representative Alice Johnson wiTl introduce on Thursday to forgive
the debt incurred for the Locke Lake Dam. He is encouraged that
this will pass, and Council's help in this endeavor would be
appreciated.
Representative Chaudhary stated that the other issue involves Onan
Corporation. He received a letter from the City Manager and
officials of Onan Corporation requesting assistance in bringing
some of the jobs, from the closing of their facility in Alabama, to
Fridley. This would mean 400 to 500 jobs in Fridley. He has
inquired as to how assistance can be given to Onan in achieving
this goal.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that Council discussed with Senator Betzold
and Representative Johnson several concerns they would like the
legislature to address such as housing, right-of-way legislation,
and if the tobacco bilT would pre-empt the City's ordinance. The
Council will be meeting with him on these issues.
Representative Chaudhary stated that he understands one of the
major concerns of the Council is pre-emption of the City's tobacco
ordinance. He feTt that no state law should pre-empt the City from
making their ordinance more restrictive.
Representative Chaudhary stated that there are bills in the
legislature regarding tax relief and an urban growth plan. He felt
that the urban growth plan would benefit the inner ring suburbs.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 27, 1g97 pAGE 14
He was encouraged that the City is concerned about the issue of
prevailing wages. He ran his campaign to benefit working families
and will have family concerns in mind to provide workers with a
living wage. He stated that he has also received a lot of
telephone calls regarding the stadium issue.
Representative Chaudhary stated that if anyone would like to
contact him they can do so at 100 Constitution Avenue, 507 State
Office Building, St. Paul, 55115 or phone him at 296-4331. He
asked that Council not hesitate to call with any questions or
concerns. He is interested in any comments or questions from
Council or his constituents. �
Mayor Jorgenson thanked Representative Chaudhary for attending the
meeting and for the update.

CONCURRENT DETAC��IENT FROM COON RAPIDS AND ANNEXATION TO
FRIDLEY OF PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED AT 83RD AVENUE AND.gRpA�
AVENUE, PURSUANT TO MINNESOTA STATE STATUTE SS414.061
( WARD 3 ) :
Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, stated that this is a joint
resolution between the cities of Fridley and Coon Rapids which will
result in the detachment of property from Goon Rapids and annexed
to Fridley. The petitioner, Mr. Gerald Kantor, requests that Lot
16, Revised Auditor's Subdivision No. 103 be annexed from the City
of Coon Rapids into the City of Fridley. If approved, the property
would be combined with property in Fridley also owned by the
petitioner. The purpose of the annexation is to allow the property
to be developed.
Mr. Hickok stated that the annexation has been broadened to include
a total of five lots. The two properties located in Coon Rapids at
8310 and 8330 Broad Avenue are currently serviced by the City of
Fridley. The remaining property, also located in Coon Rapids and
comprised of two lots, is currently serviced by septic, well, and
heating oil (8320 Broad Avenue). Those property owners would like
to be connected to utilities. The petitioner will need to extend
utilities from Kimball Street, and an easement will need to be
dedicated across the subject property to provide services to the
north.
Mr. Hickok stated that annexations may be initiated by a property
owner, a municipaiity or Minnesota Municipal Review Board. If both
municipalities are in agreement, each Council passes a resolution
and simultaneous "detachment and annexation" occurs. The
resolutions are submitted to the Board for final action.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 27, 1997 P1�,iGE 15
Mr. Hickok stated that staff recommends approval of the annt�xation
with the following stipulations: (1) the annexation request shall
include Lots 14, 15 and 16, Revised Auditor's Subdivision No. 103
and Lots 22 and 23, Block 4, Mississippi Oaks; the petitioner shalT
dedicate a 25 foot utility easement over the westerly portion of
Lot 16; and the annexation request is contingent upon approval of
the Coon Rapids City Council and the Minnesota Municipal Board.
Mr. Hickok stated that the owner of Lots 14 and 15 indicated that
he is in favor of the annexation and would be interested in hooking
up to sewer and water at the time Lot 16 is developed.
Councilwoman Bolkcom asked if the City has received any
communication from the owner of Lot 22 regarding this annexation.
Mr. Hickok stated that there was a telephone conversation with the
owner of Lot 22 in which he expressed financial concerns about the
annexation. After this issue was discussed, ti:e owner seeined
satisfied that his concerns were addressed. The City has not
received anything in writing from this property owner.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that the resolution does not include
the stipulations regarding the 25 foot easemen�. She asked the
City Attorney if this stipulation should be included in the
resolution.
Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated he would prefer that this
particular stipulation not be included in the resolution for
annexation that will require agreement by the City of Coon Rapids.
He suggested that Council pass a separate motion to approve the
annexation and includE� the three stipulations.
Councilwoman Bolkcom noted that the stipulations are covered in the
resolution, except stipulation No. 2 regarding the dedication of a
25 foot utility easement.

SUBJECT: Well Head Protection Planning Gzoup
PW97-030
Anoka County has drafted a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) initiating a wellhead protection
planning group in the southem part of the County. The Joint Powers Agreement identifies
the County as the agent for the JPA and identifies the wellhead protection planning into
two phases. Phase I is the identification of criteria for receiving bids from consultants for
the groundwater movement and wellhead protection planning and Phase II is the
retention of a consultant to complete the study.
Since the JPA was prepared, the Minnesota Department of Health tMDH) has indicated an
interest to initiate the wellhead protection management zone, groundwater study for
Anoka County at no cost to the joint power communities. Accordingly, the Phase I design
and Phase II costs in the agreement as written are no longer applicable. Accordingly,
we can delete the requirement for the cities to solicit a consultant and to contribute to the
consultant's cost for the study. /
As a means of participating in this necessary study, I recommend the City Council
approve the Joint Powers Agreement as written with a separate motion to approve the
Minnesota Department of Health's proposal for completion of parts 1, 2 and 3 of the study
at no cost to the municipalities.
Phase 4 of the MDH's proposal will be addressed at a later date when the groundwater
study has been completed. I# any costs are associated with that portion of the study, it is
expected to be minimal to the participating cities.

Dear Mayor Jorgenson:
This correspc;ndence is written on behalf of our Joi� Powers Wellhead Protection Planning Group as a
result of it's meeting on January 23,. 1997.
The Group did commence the Phase:I work setfordi in the joint powers agrcement (JPA). A request for
statement of qualifications (SO� was se� out to possible consultants and complete SOQ's were received
from eleven consultants. During �e course of reviewing these SpQ's, the M'ininesota Deparlmeat gealth
(MDI� advised the Group of changes in �e a►ellhead prote�aII p��� � a result of �e recent 1996
Safe Drinking Water Act Re-authorizatioa One of these changes, which significantly changes the public
water suppliers responsibilities, is thaf the 1�IDg must .do the protection zone delinearion. For this
reason the JPA Group has recommended that we discontinue ffie consnitant selection process.
The MDH, in addition to advising the JPA Group about changes in the wellhead protection program,
presented a proposal for wellhead protection planning (copy enclosed). The proposal consisted of four
parts; the first three relate to delineation of inna and outer wellhead protection zones and the fourth
relates to wellhead protection managemern programs. This proposal essentially places the MDH in the
"consultants" role. The activities iinder the MDH proposal for the city are unchanged and the County
would continue to serve a coordination function. The products that would be produced by ihe MDH
proposal would satisfy the wellhead-protec6on planning requirements. 'Therz w�l be na ou� of pockex
costs to the city for participation in and completion of parts 1, 2, and 3 of the MDH proposal. The JPA
Group review of the MDH proposal found it to be satisfactory and in the city's best interests and has
recommend that parts 1, 2, and 3 of the MDH proposal, with no associated out of pocket costs for
consultant, be accepted and the work authorized.
The fourth part of the MDH proposai is not being recommended at this time, because the specifics of
that part wiil be dependent on the outcome of parts 1, 2, and 3. If there is any cc�sts associated with part
4, it will be a very small amount. A recommendation concerning part 4 will be developed.latter when
the results of part l, 2, and 3 are known. Authorization to commence the work on parts l, 2, and 3 of
the MDH proposal will not commit the city ta any financial obligation fvr part 4.

WELLHEAD PROTECTION PLANNING
ANOKA COUNTY -
Introduction
The following discussion presents a strategy to deveiop weilhead protection plans fo�
communities in Anoka County who are members of the joint powers board. The
Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is the lead agency fo� administering the sta#e's
wellhead protection program but public water suppliers will be responsible for preparing
and implementing wellhead prote�tion plans under provisions in the draft state wellhead
protection rule. The riAe is anticipated to be promulgated in 1997 and efforts to prepare
w�e!lhead plans should foliow the procedures specified in the current draft rule
language.
MDH is pleased that the joint powers board communi#ies wish to develop and
implement wellhead protection plans on a volunteer basis. MDH will provide staff
support to help commur�iiies prepare their plans including delineation of welihead
protection areas. The joint powers board has indicated a willingness to begin wellhead
planning as soon as possible but MDH has already committed its available staff to
helping other communities. MDH offers the following schedule for wellhead protection
work plan for consideration by the joint powers board and Anoka Coun#y.
PART 1. PREPARING lNNER WELLHEAD PROTECTiON AREA MANAGEMENT
ZONE PLANS. �
1. Designate #he inner wellhead management zone for each well in the
community waier suppiy system. This is defined by 1) a 200 foot radius
around a well which does no# t�ave at least 50 feei of water tight casing
and pene#rates at least 10 feet of a geological confining layer or 2) a 150
foot radius for a well which exceeds these requirements. Target date - �
March i, 1997. Lead agency - each community.
2. Conduct an inventory of potential contaminant sources within the inner
wellhead management zone for each well in the community water supply
system. Targei date - June 1, 1997. Lead agency - each community. ,�
3. Identify non-complying sources and their potential impact on the quality of
the water pumped from the community well. Target date for completion - �,,,
July 1, 1997. Lead agency - each community.

powers board communities by the Minnesota Department of
' Heaith. Target date fior compte#ion - March 1, 1997. Lead
agency - MDH
2. Select community welis for tritium analysis to con6rm weil
vulnerability assessment. The number of weils selected in a
community will depend on the locations of wells, the number of
aquifers used by the`ciiy, and existing tritium, con#aminant
mo�itoring, or 14.carbon anatyses: Target date for completion -
April 1, 1997. Lead agencies -:MDH and Anolca County
Community �Health and Ernironmental Services -

Deterrnine whether existing pumping i�formation for communi#y �teiis offsets the
need to conduct pumping tests to satisiy the wephead protection rule
requirements. - �
Cities wili compile the test pumping information for each we1! i�
their system that was collec#ed when the we!! was consfivcted o�
after it has been serviced or repaired. Pumping tests should
consist of at least 24 hours of pumping or recovery data for welis
compieted in a confined aquifier or at least 72 hours for wells
compieted in unconfined aquifiers. Target date for compietion -
April 1, 1997.
2. Review pumping test data to defermine whether additionaf
pumping tests will be neede-rJ .o characterize tra^s�rissn,•a#y f�� the
aquifers used by the communities in the Anoka joint powers boar�,.
group. Target date - May 1, 1997. Lead agency - MDH. }
3. If needed, identify locations where additional pumping tests should
be conducted to characte�ize aquifer transmissivity. Target date -
June 1, 1997. Lead agency - MDH
4. Conduct needed pumping tests.: -Target date:for completion
of tests and data analysis , Oc#ober 1, 1997. Lead agency -
MDH with participation by the ciiy in which a pumping test is
conducted.
Characterize groundwater withdrawal by community wells. -
1. Collect the annual amount of groundwater pumped by eact� well in
a community water system for #he previous five years (1991 -
1996). Also, estimate the amount to be pumped annually for tfie
next five years. Target date for completion - May 1, 1997. Lead
agancy - Each commanity v.i!! collect its owr� data. MDH wi11
compile it info a coun#y-wide iable by November 1, 1997.

mile of joint powers board municipa! we11s.
1. Obtain Global Positioning System (GPS) locations for the joint
powers board commun'iiy wells which MDH has not completed.
Target date - May 1;� 1997. Lead agency - MDH.
2. Obtain GPS locations for non-municipal high capacity wells that are
within one mile o# community wells. These other wells wi11 be

January 8, 1997, Planning Commission minutes as written.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
l. PUBLIG HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP
#96-18, BY ANIMAL MEDICP,L CLINIC: .
Per Section 205.15.O1.C.(9)of the Fridley City Code, to allow
an animal vaccination clinic on Part of Lots 8, 9, and 10,
Auditor's Subdivision No. 155, generally located at 753 - 53rd
Avenue N.E. (tabled from the 1/8/97 meetinq).
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba, to waive the reading
of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:33 P.M.
Ms. McPherson stated the request is for consideration of special
use permit, SP #96-18, by Animal Medical Clinic, which is generally
located at 753 - 53rd Avenue N.E. The subject parcel is the Target
facility with the adjacent tenant space to the south. This space
was previously occupied by Northwest Fabrics who chose to close
this location. Pet Food Warehouse has signed a lease agreement for
this space, and has relocated its facility from 250 Osborne Road
where they were previously located until August 1996 when that
building was damaged by a wind storm.
Ms. McPherson stated the request requires a special use permit
3.0 i
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JAN(JARY 22, 1997 p� 2
under the section for animal clinics , veterinary clinics, animal
hospitals, public kennels, obedience schools, and training services
provided the following conditions are met:
A. All windows in the area of the building housing animals shall
be double glazed with a fixed sash.
B. Any ventilation systems shall be designed so that no odors or
organisms will spread between wards or to the outside air.
C. There shall be no outside pens or holding areas.
Ms. McPherson stated these standards typically apply to animal or
veterinary clinics which have 24-hour services and which provide
multiple services such as surgeries, vaccinations, examinations,
etc. This request is to allow vaccination clinics by the
pet,itioner. This is similar to what was granted at the Osborne
Road site in 1993. The petitioner conducts what are termed
"wellness clinics" which provide for limited examinations of
animals as well as vaccinations. They are designed to be low cost,
and to provide alternative health care and preventative care. They
are proposed to be open 8 to 12 hours per week including one week
night and one weekend day each week with fewer hours provided
during the winter.
Ms. McPherson stated the area that is proposed to be used is in the
northwest corner of the facility. This area has been designated by
Pet Food Warehouse as their care and training facility. It is
separated from the main retail area by doors and is very similar to
the set up at 250 Osborne Road. The petitioner is not intending to
provide around-the-clock services. The services provided are
limited in scope. Therefore, the standards first stated do not
really apply to this request; however, in many cases the space
designated does meet some of the standards such as no windows, no
holding pens, and there is ventilation provided. Staff received no
complaints regarding the petitioner's similar operation at 250
Osborne Road while it was in operation.
Ms. McPherson stated staff recommends approval of the request to
the City Council with the following stipulations:
1. No vaccination supplies or medical waste shall be stored on
the site.
2. Any alterations to the building will require issuance of a
building permit.
3. The veterinarians shall be currently licensed by the State of
Minnesota.
3.02
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 22, 1997 P�C;E 3
Mr. Oquist stated the first stipulation indicates no vaccination
supplies are to be stored on site, so each time they are open the.
veterinarians must bring their own supplies.
Ms. McPherson stated yes.
Mr. Oquist asked what the procedure was to verify that the
veterinarians are properly licensed.
Ms. McPherson stated they ask them to submit a copy of their state
license to staff.
Ms. Savage asked if it was necessary for them to have a special use
permit because of the different location or because of an increase
in hours.
Ms. McPherson stated the permit is required because of the change
in location. A special use permit of this type was not issued to
this location previously. .
Mr. Kuechle asked the reason why vaccination supplies are not to be
stored on site.
Ms. MePherson stated there are not properly trained persons'in the
warehouse retail facility. They do not deal with these types of
medications or serums on a day-to-day basis. They do not have the
proper medical training. Staff does not want untrained people
having access to those types of things.
Mr. Kuechie asked if they were required to have a hazardous
materials permit.
Ms. McPherson stated they probably need some type of a biomedical
generator permit through the state. She thought they had one for
their clinic and probably have one for the site. That is the
reason for including the medical waste in the stipulation.
Dr. Locketz stated he was a veterinarian at the Animal Medical
Clinic. They provide similar services in seven other communities
in the metropolitan area. They will soon be opening clinics in
other cities. The concept is similar all around the country. Pet
Food Warehouse has been sold to a national chain and they provide
these types of services �n 300 location in the country.
Dr. Locketz stated they were operating at the Osborne location for
three years. In the last part of those three years, Pet Food
Warehouse opened another location�in Fridley. The previous
location was destroyed by storm damage. They asked the City to let
3.03
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 22� 1gg7 PAGE 4
them move to this location. They have been operating for three or
four months and are now applying for a special use permit. The
City has allowed them to operate there on the premise that they
would apply for a special use permit, which they are doing now.
Dr. Locketz stated, regarding the vaccination supplies, as a
standard procedure because they do not keep refrigeration at the
Pet Food Warehouse, they bring vaccines in coolers on ice to the
location each time and return them to the home location each time.
That should not be a problem. They are not seeing sick animals
under state statute. Mr. Locketz stated that they are not a
veterinary clinic and are not generators of infe.ctiou,s,waste. Any
materials such as gauze are taken off site after the clinic and
disposed of in a sanitary manner.
Ms. Savage asked what level of use did they see at the Osborne
location.
Dr. Locketz stated the clinics were very popular.
Ms. Savage stated there currently is a pet grooming area. Is that
the area that will be the clinic?
Dr. Locketz stated no. The grooming area is at the front of the
building to the left of the entrance. The clinic is at the rear of
the building. They offer these services from 35o to 400 off the
standard office price.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba, to close the public
hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:42 P.M.
Mr. Saba stated he had no problem with the request.
Mr. Kondrick agreed. The request is the same as last time only at
a different site.
Mr. Oquist stated there were no problems with the vaccination
supplies.
Ms. Savage stated she had no problem with the request. She thought
it was a good service for the community.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, to recommend
approval of Special Use Permit, SP #96-18, by Animal Medical
Clinic, to allow an animal vaccination clinic on Part of Lots 8, 9,
and 10, Auditor's Subdivision No. 155, generally located at 753 -

Dr. Locketz stated he had a conflict that evening and asked if this
could be considered at the next meeting.
Ms. McPherson stated she would check and let him know.

SUBJECT: Approval of Backhoe Purchase
PW97-033
In the 1997 Water Division budget there is $68,000 identi.fied for the purchase of a mid-
size backhoe.
Quotes were requested and three proposaLs were received. The low bidder did not meet
specifications in that the equipment is too high to enter our salt shed building. The second
low bidder, St. Joseph's Equipment, is for a Case backhoe at a cost of $57,893, adding a S-
year power train and a 4,000 hour macYune warranty plus tax, identifies a total cost of
$60,798.
Recommend the City Council award the bid to the low responsive bidder, St. Joseph's
Equipment, for a Case tractor with a 5-year power train and 4,000 hour machine warranty
for a total cost of $60,798.

Backhoe Bid
---------------
The 1997 Water Division budget contains $68,000 to purchase a mid-sized backhoe. At the time this
item was placed in the budget, a used backhoe was being considered: A.s the specifications were
being prepared, major dealers advised staffthat, because of sizeable municipal discounts offered by
backhoe manufacturers, it may be less costly to bid a new backhoe. The Public Works Department
prepazed and advertised two bids, one for a used backhoe and another for a new backhoe using the
same specifications.
The City received three proposals on new backhoes, and no proposals on used backhoes.
1. Long Lake Tractor
New Holland (Ford)

2. St. Joseph's Equipment

-i� I ��' c. �--=
fi P�'�f� �=
Both John Deere and Case meet all City specifications. New Holland had several important
exceptions. The most important are the equipment travel height (the height of the machine from the
ground to the top of the backhoe boom) and was 12-15% low in several digging power requirements.
The travel height is the most important, as one of the uses of this equipment would be loading salt
and sand trucks at the garage. The doorway into the salt shed is 11'10" high. The New Holland
travel height is 13'1'; preventing the New Holland from entering the salt shed. The Case travel height
is 11'3 ", allowing the Case to pass through the door of the salt shed with a comfortable clearance.
The digging power limitations, unlike the height problems, would not prevent the backhoe from
completing digging tasks, but would likely take longer. The lower bid ma.de by Long Lake Tractor
does not offset bid exceptions, as the height exceptions would prevent the City from using the loader
portion of the backhoe for the important task of loading sand and salt trucks. The City currently is
using a skid loader to load salt trucks. Because of the small bucket on the skid loader, it takes longer
to load trucks than it would with a backhoe bucket. It should also be noted that the deductible on
one warranty service call would offset the difference in the bid submitted.

The Public Works Department advertised specifications for the purchase of a 49 foot, 2-man aerial
boom. In addition to advertising, bid specifications were mailed to four aerial truck dealers that had
requested that they be notified, ABM Equipment, Reach Equipment, Crysteel Equipment, and Truck
Utilities.
The city received only one bid from ABM Equipment in the amount of $105,653.32, including credit
for a$12,000 trade in allowance for the City's 1976 Chevrolet aerial truck. ABM's aerial unit comes
standard with a 3-yeaz maximum available warranty and meets a11 City specifications. There is,
however, an extended 5-year warranty available on the cab and chassis for an additional $2, l 00 that
protects the cab and chassis for all repairs except tires, belts, lights, and normal wear for 5 years.

Cab and Chassis Bid
The Public Works Department advertised specifications for the purchase of a 33,000 GVW cab and

requested that they be notified, Lakeland Ford, Boyer Ford, and North Star International.
The City received bids from Boyer Ford and Lakeland Ford with the following results:

$51,217.00
$49,191.29

The cab and chassis bid by Boyer Ford and Lakeland Ford both meet City specifications, and I
recommend that the City accept Boyer Ford's low bid in the amount of $51,217, including sales t�
and e�rtended 5-year wananty. The e�ended warranty protects the vehicle from repair costs other
than lights, belts, and hoses for 5 years or 100,000 miles. The standard warranty is 12 months on the
vehicle, 24 months on the drive train, and 36 months on the engine.
The 1997 budget contains $72,800 for the purchase of a 33,000 GVW dump truck. The funds in
excess of the purchase price of the cab and chassis are needed to purchase the dump box, plow,
hydraulics, radio, and painting. The dump box will be installed in the City shop by City personnel.
The total cost after complete installation will be within the funds available for equipment purchase
in the 1997 budget.

SUBJECT: FIRST READING OF AN AMENDMENT TO SECTION 12.07 OF THE
FRIDLEY CITY CHARTER
DATE: FEBRUARY 6, 1997
At the January 6, 1997 meeting of the Fridley City Council a public
hearing was held on an amendment to Section 12.07 of the Fridley
City Charter which has been proposed by the Fridley Home Rule
Charter Commission.
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 410.12, Subd. 7. Amendment by ordinance
begins as follows: "Upon recommendation of the charter commission

an ordinance, if enacted, shall be adopted by the council b an
affirmative vote of all its meinbers after a public hearing upon two
weeks' published notice containing the text of the proposed
amendment and shall be approved by the mayor and published as in
the case of other ordinances." (Emphasis added.)
Subject to these considerations, I request that you present this
amendment to the Fridley City Council for a first reading of the
amending ordinance at their meeting of February 10, 1997.
