IMPROVEMENT : �
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that this resolution
authorizes the use of 31,249 square feet of former highway
right-of-way for use in constructing the TH65/Lake Pointe
Drive intersection improvement. This parcel and the parcel
described under Item 1 of the agenda were once joined together
as part of a Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT)
right-of-way turnback to the City. It has always been
understood that the parcel in Item 1 would be part of the
Fridley Executive Center development and that the balance of
the parcel, named in this item, would be available for future
intersection improvements. This ordinance and the resolution
in Item i serve to formalize these arrangements.
THIS ITEM WAS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND PLACED ON
THE REGULAR AGENDA.
3. RESOLUTION REVOKING AND ESTABLISHING MCJNICIPAL STATE AID
STREETS:
Mr. Burns, City Manaqer, stated that this resolution revokes
79th Way and 79th Avenue between Main Street and East River
Road as part of the City's Municipal State Aid System (MSAS).
If the City were to continue to include this segment in the
MSAS system, an at-grade crossing would need to be established
at the Burlington Northern Railroad tracks. Since Burlington
Northern Railroad is not supportive of �the crossing and staff
can foresee negative traffic impacts from establishing the
crossing, it is recommended that this portion of our MSAS
system be deleted.
Mr. Burns stated that in place of the 79th Avenue/79th Way
segment, staff recommended that the West University Service
Drive between 79th and 83rd Avenues be substituted.

OPEN FORUM, VISITORS:
Mr. Joe Sombrio, 289 Stonybrook Way, stated that WAABI has operated
pulls taps at Main Event and Shorewood in Fridley. Over the last
seven years they have generated $400,000 in revenue that went to
community organizations in Fridley, as well as communities outside
of Fridley. It was his understanding that the Italian Club of
Minnesota and the Minnesota Youth Boxing Association plan to sell
pull tabs at these establishments in Fridley. He wanted to make
sure that there were no illegal activities if these new
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 16, 1998 PAGE 5
organizations come into the City. He would like WAABI to be
grandfathered because of their support of organizations in the
City. He understands that only five percent has to be given to
Fridley from these pull-tab operations. WAABI currently gives 55
percent.
Councilman Billings stated that when the City initially prepared
the ordinance, a certain percentage of the funds generated from the
pull-tab operation were to be spent in Fridley. The State
statutes, however, take precedent over City ordinances. Those
statutes provide that a percentage of the proceeds must be returned
to the community or cities that are contiguous to Fridley.
Councilman Billings stated that the Minnesota Department of Gaming
has control over the pull-tab operations. If there is evidence of
any illegal activities it should be reported to the Gaming
Department.
Councilman Barnette stated that WAABI was a major contributor to
the Excel and scholarship programs at the Fridley High School. I�e
felt that Mr. Sombrio should talk with the Main Event and Shorewood
on this issue.
Mr. Sombrio stated that he did not wish to infer these
organizations are doing anything illegal. Before any licenses are
granted Council should know where the organizations will be
distributing their proceeds.
Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated that Councilman Billings was
correct in that the areas where these funds are distributed are
controlled by State statutes. How these funds are allocated
depends entirely on the decision of the participating organization,
as long as they comply with the State statute reqarding the
distribution. However, there is a provision in the State statute
that allows the City to take up to ten percent of the proceeds
dedicated to a special fund. Unless there is evidence of wrong-
doing it is impossible for the City to hold up the licensing
process.
Mr. Sombrio stated that Fridley youth programs have benefited from
WAABI's contributions. Whatever can be done to ensure that those
contributions to the youth in Fridley continues would be
appreciated.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that she would encourage the youth and
their parents to�contact those businesses regarding their concern.
Councilman Schneider stated that everyone is very supportive of
WAABI. The reality is that there is not much Council can do
regarding the licensing.
It was the consensus of Council that the provision of ten percent
to a special fund should be reviewed.

10. SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE REPEALING CHAPTER 407 OF THE
FRIDLEY CITY CODE IN ITS ENTIRETY, AND ADOPTING A NEW CHAPTER
407, ENTITLED "RIGHT-OF-WAY MANAGEMENT" AND AMENDING CHAPTER
11 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE, ENTITLED "GENERAI� PROVISIONS AND
FEES"
�
AUTHORIZING PUBLICP.TION OF OFFICIAL TITLE AND SUN�lARY:
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that the League of
Minnesota Cities, the Suburban Rate Authority, and the City
Engineers Association of Minnesota worked on a model ordinance to
satisfy the 1997 legislative requirements for managing the public
right-of-way. The purpose of the ordinance is to ensure proper
restoration of the streets and boulevards when it is necessary for
utility companies to make cuts. The Legislature established that
the right-of-way was the City's responsibility and allowed the City
to issue permits, plan restoration, address franchises, and
establish construction standards. In addition, it provided for
joint application of work, denial of permits, mapping, and a user
fee except for telecommunication activities.
Mr. Flora stated that a public hearing was held on this ordinance,
and a first reading of the ordinance was held on March 2. There
were a number of issues raised at the public hearing, as well as
the time of the first reading of the ordinance. A meeting was held
with representatives from Minneqasco, Northern States Power and
Paragon Cable addressing these concerns. Some changes have been
made in the ordinance by adding language and deleting some sections
of the ordinance.
Mr. Flora stated that he would expect there may be additional
changes to this ordinance in the year 2000 after the Public
Utilities Commission completes their work on this right-of-way
issue. In the meantime, the City needs an ordinance to control the
right-of-way and recoup the costs the City is spending in those
operations. The ordinance addresses these issues as well as those
brought up by the utility companies.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she received telephone calls regarding
the fee structure and the mapping.
Mr. Flora stated that the plans are reviewed by various departments
and then a permit is issued. In conjunction with the permit,
inspections are conducted during the course of a project. The fees
are to recoup the City's costs. With regard to the mapping, it is
proposed that the City recoup the costs for entering into the GIS
system the location of lines.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 16, 1998 PAGE 7
Mr. Flora reviewed the right-of-way fees for excavation,
obstruction, extensions, delay penalties, and degradation, as well
as user fees.
Councilman Schneider asked if there would be only one fee if a
single trench was dug and used by all the utility companies.
Mr. Flora stated that only one fee would be charged. If there is a
City project, a company can do their necessary work at the same
time and there would be no fee.
There were questions raised about the fees if there was an
emergency situation.
Mr. Flora felt that in the case of a major storm Council would
probably have to look at these fees in a different light.
There was discussion regarding the amount of time involved for
permits. Mr. Flora stated that the Police, Fire, Engineerinq
Departments, and sometimes the Community Development Department,
have to review these requests. After review of the plan,
inspections by City staff are involved as the project proceeds.
Councilman Billings asked if a permit would be required if utility
companies were working in the street and needed to block a lane.
Mr. Flora answered in the affirmative. He explained that any
digging in the boulevard or pavement is considered an obstruction.
If it is strictly a service call, it does not require a permit.
Mayor Jorgenson asked the City Attorney to explain why the
telecommunications industry is exempt.
Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated that, historically, a franchise is
granting authority to an entity to use public right-of-way to
provide an important key service. It is more than a contractual
arrangement and, typically, is an ordinance outlining requirements
that must be met.
Councilman Schneider stated that once the Public Utilities
Commission enacts their legislation some modifications may be
needed to this ordinance if it is adopted.
Mr. Flora stated that he did not expect any major changes but only
some minor fine tuning of the ordinance.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that the fees proposed for Eridley are
quite a bit higher than those in Edina. She questioned if the
taxpayers were subsidizing some of the fees.
Mr. Flora stated that this could be possible and would account for
the lower fees if some of the fees are subsidized. Part of the
problem is that in the 1980's the utility companies had their own
x
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 16, 1998 PAGE 8
employees doing the repair work so that any problems could be
worked out. Today, this is not the case. It is hard to coordinate
efforts when a problem arises because of the different contractors
that may be involved.
Councilman Schneider stated that he was concerned about comparinq
the City's fees with other communities. There are many factors
that could enter into this difference such as how they maintain
their data base and the infrastructure.
Mr. Flora felt the proposed fees were reasonable with regard to the
amount of time for processing these permits.
Councilman Schneider stated that data could be analyzed over a six-
month period to make sure the fees truly reflect the cost to the
City.
Mr. Flora stated that there is a routing system that would make it
possible for everyone to keep track of their hours.
Councilman Billings felt
whether all facilities

that Section 407.22 was not clear as to

omitted. Also, he found no definition of
Councilman Billings stated that the City of Edina may be recovering
their costs from franchise fees, and taxpayers may not be
subsidizing the utility companies. However, he felt that the
proposed fees have increased tremendously. He found it difficult
to believe that a utility company could have a permit to cut three
holes, perform the work in eight hours, and then it takes twelve
hours to inspect the work.
Mr. Flora stated he felt it would be impossible for a utility
company to cut and restore three holes in an eight-hour period.
Councilman Billings asked how many permits were issued last year
for excavation.
Mr. Flora stated that there were about sixty. However, with
Minnegasco's lines, any two cuts within a 200 foot area is
considered only one. That is also a policy associated with the
adoption of the ordinance.
Councilman Billings asked if this policy was included in the
ordinance.
Mr. Flora stated it is a policy that the City adopted associated
with implementing the ordinance. Copies were given to the utility
companies.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 16, 1998 PAGE 9
Councilman Schneider stated that he had a problem with the
definition of obstruction which is defined as digging a hole. He
asked if this would be enforced consistently and not arbitrarily.
Councilman Billings asked if Council could, in a franchise
agreement, negotiate terms and conditions that would specifically
address the manner in which companies would leave property and the
costs they would pay over and above the franchise fee for any work
they conducted. He asked if there could be some negotiations with
Northern States Power and Minnegasco to cover the City's costs. He
wanted some serious consideration given to companies that have a
franchise agreement with the City and who pay a franchise fee, to
be exempt from certain conditions of this ordinance. If there are
companies that do not have a franchise agreement with the City,
Council could adopt fees to ensure the quality of the work to be
done.
Councilman Schneider felt that companies with franchise agreements
with the City should take precedent over this ordinance.
Councilman Billings stated that the City has a franchise agreement
with Minnegasco, but there is no franchise fee. This would need to
be addressed. Franchise fees are being collected from Paragon
Cable. Possibly a certain portion of those fees could be allocated
to the recovery of the City's costs. The franchise aqreement, as
well as the franchise fee, would need to be addressed with Northern
States Power. Council may want to re-adopt the fees from last year
on a short-term basis.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, asked Councilman Billings if he felt that
Section 407.03, paragraph two, was addressing his concerns.
Councilman Billings felt it should be reviewed by the City
Attorney, as he felt it was not clear as to what it means in terms
of the franchise fee.
Councilman Billings stated that he was unclear as to how
obstruction permit fees are calculated and if wires can be replaced
overhead or if they need to be underground.
MOTION by Councilman Barnette to receive the letter from Northern
States Power dated March 16, 1998. Seconded by Councilwoman
Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Jorqenson
declared the motion carried unanimously.
There was a consensus of the Council that possibly the policy
should be included as part of the ordinance or as a reference.
MOTION by Councilman Billings to table this item and refer it back
to staff. Further, that this matter be re-submitted to Council no
later than April 20, 1998. Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom.

11. RESOLUTION NO. 19-1998 REQUESTING NO PARKING ON CENTRAI, AVENUE
350 METERS NORTH OF TRUNK HIGHWAY 65:
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that this resolution
specified no parking on Central Avenue for 350 meters north of
TH 65.
Councilman Schneider asked if this resolution allows for additional
parking restrictions.
Mr. Flora stated that the County did install "No Parking" signs on
Old Central Avenue in 1983, but there is no documentation. This
resolution deals with the first 350 meters associated with the
improvement of the intersection.
No persons in the audience spoke regarding the no parking
restrictions on Old Central Avenue.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to adopted Resolution No. 19-1998.
Seconded by Councilman Billings. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Jorgenson declared the motion carried unanimously.
ITEMS FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA:
1. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINP,NCE UNDER SECTION 12.06 OF THE CITY
CHARTER DECI,ARING CERTAIN REAL ESTATE TO BE SURPLUS AND
AUTHORIZING THE SALE THEREOF:
Councilman Billings stated that he understands this parcel was
vacated by Council in 1987. The resolution, which is Item 2 on the
agenda (to grant the use of the right-of-way) is what the City
already vacated. He asked who owns this parcel.
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that this parcel
was part of a larger parcel and was deeded to the City from MnDOT
as a"turnback" parcel. However, there does not appear to have
been an ordinance which declared the vacated property "excess" to
enable the City to convey it to the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority. This ordinance is necessary in order to quit claim the
vacated right-of-way to the HRA. The area will also be included as
part of the lot in the final plat.
Ms. Dacy stated that the resolution (Item 2 on the agenda) and the
attached Exhibit A refer to the area where the City did not vacate
its interest to continue for highway purposes.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 16, 1998 PAGE 11
Councilman Billings stated that it was difficult to tell from the
drawing, as they are at different scales. He wanted to clarify if
the parcels are adjacent to each other.
MOTION by Councilman Billings to waive the reading and approve the
ordinance on first reading. Seconded by Councilman Schneider.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Jorgenson declared the
motion carried unanimously.
2. RESOLUTION NO. 16-1998 AUTHORIZING ACCESS AND USE OF RIGHT_OF-
' IMPROVEMENT :
MOTION by Councilman Billinqs to adopt Resolution No. 16-1998, with
attached Exhibit A. Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon_ a
voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Jorgenson declared the motion
carried unanimously.
3. RESOLUTION NO. 17-1998 REVOKING AND ESTABLISHING MUNICIPAL
STATE AID STREETS:
Councilman Billings asked if there would be any fees associated
with the removal of 79th Avenue/79th Way between Main Street and
East River Road as an MSAS street, and the redesignation
identifying University West Service Drive between 79th and 83rd
Avenues as an MSAS street.
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that in the past the City
has not paid any fees with other streets that have been turned
back. The street was built in the 1960s. If there are any fees
associated with this turnback, they would be minimal. This will
have to go through the process with MnDOT before it .is known if any
fees are involved.
MOTION by Councilwoman Bolkcom to adopt Resolution No. 17-1998.
Seconded by Councilman Barnette. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Jorgenson declared the motion carried unanimously.

DEPARTMENT OF TRADE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND THE CITY OF
FRIDLEY (ONAN CORPORATION PROJECT):
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to approve the grant agreement
between the State of Minnesota, Department of Trade and Economic
Development and the City for the Onan Corporation project.
Seconded by Councilman Barnette. Upon a voice vote, Councilman
Schneider, Councilman Barnette, Councilman Billings, and
Councilwoman Bolkcom voted in favor of the motion. Mayor Jorgenson
abstained from voting on the motion. Mayor Jorgenson declared the
motion carried by a four to one vote.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 16, 1998 PAGE 12
12. RESOLUTION NO. 20-1998 APPROVING AND ADOPTING A DEER
POPULATION MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE MINNEAPOLIS WATERWORKS:
Mr. Dave Sallman, Public Safety Director, stated that the
Minneapolis Waterworks approached the City with a problem regarding
the deer herd on their property which totals about thirty (30).
Meetings were held, and recommendations were submitted on how the
herd should be reduced. If there was to be a deer harvest, safety
recommendations were made to make sure it would be safe for persons
outside the Waterworks property.
Mr. Sallman stated that, as Public Safety Director, he can approve
the discharge of weapons, but he does not have authority over the
ordinance that deals with hunting in the City. An indemnification
agreement was received from the City of Minneapolis relating to the
deer harvest. Staff recommends approval. There were
representatives from the Department of Natural Resources and
Minneapolis Waterworks, as well as the City's Naturalist, to answer
any questions.
Councilman Schneider asked why rifles were used at Springbrook
Nature Center for a deer harvest and why they would not be used at
the Waterworks.
Mr. Sallman stated that rifles were used at Springbrook Nature
Center after the Nature Center had closed for the day, and after
there was no one on the property. Firearms would not be used on
the Waterworks property since employees may be on the property at
all times.
Councilman Billings asked if this was a deer management plan that
will last for a period of time.
Mr. Sallman stated that the plan is to keep the deer herd at a
certain level. If there is a need for future reduction, he would
come back to Council for approval.
Councilman Billings asked if this would be a reduction of the deer
herd to zero or a manageable level. He also questioned if the area
is totally enclosed or if it is possible for additional deer to
miqrate into the area.
Mr. Sallman stated that the Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
would issue a permit regardinq the number of deer that can be
removed. This amount could not be exceeded.
Mr. Siah St. Clair, Naturalist, stated that the deer are wild
animals living off the natural habitat. Their only known predators
in the community are automobiles and trains.
Mr. Jim Ring, representing the Minneapolis Waterworks, stated that
he counted 31 deer on the property last week. Chasing them out of
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 16, 1998 PAGE 13
the compound does not work. The deer return, and the population
continues to grow. The habitat will not support a deer heard this
large.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that some people perceive this to be a zoo
of some sort or a reserve of animals, and they have strong
reservations regarding the method of kill. She questioned if it is
humane to reduce the herd and then allow them to breed again within
a confined site.
Ms. Kathy DonCarlos, Assistant Area Wildlife Manager for the DNR,
stated that in areas where cities have determined it is
inappropriate or not advisable to discharge weapons, the DNR places
more responsibility on the municipality to manage that situation.
In determining deer populations, the rule of thumb is that most
municipalities will tolerate 15 to 25 deer per square mile. Deer
are managed at lower levels of 7 to 11 per square mile where the
vegetation is necessary to protect the ecosystem.
Ms. DonCarlos stated that in using the basis of 15 to 25 deer per
square mile, the area being discussed would support approximately 5
to 8 deer. The amount of habitat available for year-around support
reduces this to 1-1/2 to 3 deer per square mile. If you want to
protect the understory, it is about 1 deer per square mile. The
DNR does not support chasing the deer from this area, as it will
increase the density elsewhere.
Ms. DonCarlos stated that the survival rate would be very low if
the DNR tranquilized the deer and relocated them to another area.
The procedure is not without risk, as there is a physiological
reaction. A wild animal in this state is vulnerable to predators.
Councilman Billings stated that even though the death of the deer
is pretty drastic, the DNR feels it is the most humane way of
reducing the herd.
Councilwoman Jorgenson questioned if there were any effective birth
control methods for deer.
Ms. DonCarlos stated that hormonal birth control methods done in
the eastern part of the United States resulted in permanent changes
in the animal. This places humans at risk if ineat is ingested and
the animal is at high risk for cancer. There is also a vaccine,
but it requires two injections which means the deer have to be
identified. She felt that it was not a good option, but she hoped
that there would be a one-time vaccine in the future.
Ms. Linda Hatfield, 4901 Second Avenue S., Minneapolis, Friends of
Animals and Their Environment, stated that she never had an
opportunity to address this issue at the Minneapolis City Council
meeting. She felt that bow hunting was cruel and inhumane, as the
animals suffer and die throuqh hemorrhaging. She felt that the
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 16, 1998 PAGE 14
gates could be opened to disperse the deer to other areas along the
natural corridor of the river. She saw five deer that looked
healthy and did not appear to be starving. Ms. Hatfield felt that
the bow hunting was a short-term fix and a cruel way to address the
problem. She thanked Mayor Jorgenson for the response to her
letter, and she asked the City to look at a deer management
program.
Councilman Schneider asked Ms. Hatfield if her preference would be
for rifles, rather than bow and arrow.
Ms. Hatfield stated that her group is opposed to bow hunting. She
has served on task forces that addressed deer management programs.
She would like the City.to consider other options and have people
stop feeding the deer.
Mr. Randy Khoury, member of the Natural Mississippi River Advisory
Board for the City of Minneapolis, stated that there is not a
wildlife management plan for the metropolitan area. With respect
to the DNR, they issue hunting licenses. If this river corridor
cannot support 30 deer, there is a problem. He has not heard of
any plan to restore plant life to support the deer. He felt this
approach should be taken.
Mayor Jorgenson asked how many deer there are currently in the
City.
Mr. St. Clair stated that an aerial survey showed 13 deer in the
north end of the City, that includes Springbrook Nature Center, and
23 deer on Durham Island near Islands of Peace. He did not have a
count for the area south of I-694. However, the counts are down
from about 50 to 60 deer in the whole area to about 40.
Ms. Julie Durbey, Volunteer with the Animal Rights Coalition,
stated that there is a program on Channel 6 which addresses bow
hunting and how it is inhumane and inappropriate. The deer at the
Waterworks are very tame, and the first option is to get them out
of this area. There should be an opportunity to explore other
methods. She felt bow hunting was not ethical.
Ms. Mary Rittenhouse, north Minneapolis, stated that she felt the
DNR had a stronghold on deer management. She felt it was time to
consider other ways of dealing with these issues. There should be
a way to do something intelligently rather than violently.
Mr. Curtis Carlson, 1129 Washington Street N.E., stated that this
would not be a hunt, it would be a slaughter. He felt the
Waterworks employees created the deer problem by feeding them.
There have been numerous road kill, there are no signs posted, and
the speed limit is totally violated. If the fence were to be
lowered, the deer could move from one area to another. Mr. Carlson
stated that he is not opposed to hunting, but he can't believe bow

Mr. Jim Ring stated that he understands this is an emotional issue.
Waterworks is not trying to take on the job of the DNR. He has
worked there for eleven years, and the deer have not been there a
long time. It has been rare to see a deer. Lowering the fence
would defeat the security. He is a resident of Fridley and would
appreciate approval of this plan.
Councilman Schneider asked why bow huntinq is proposed versus sharp
shooters.
Mr. Ring stated that their land is narrow, and there are employees
on the site seven days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. He
would not want to put any employee in jeopardy by having rifles
being fired. Employees have to check gauges on an hourly basis on
some of the unmanned stations. Employees that would be working in
these areas expressed concern about high powered rifles being used.
Councilman Schneider stated that this seems like a sportinq event
and not a deer management program. He agreed that if it was
necessary to reduce the deer herd that it should be done as
painless as possible.
Councilwoman Bolkcom asked why the decision was made for bow
hunting versus rifles.
Ms. DonCarlos stated that they are finding that archery is a more
effective tool in certain situations. It is recommended in
situations where there� is sensitivity as far as proximity to
residents. As far as the humaneness of rifles versus bow hunting,
studies have been done. The killing time between a shot and an
arrow is a difference of about seven seconds and the run is about
thirty yards. When an agency brings in the Metro Bowhunters
Resource Base people they are very carefully screened and directed
as to the type of shots and distance.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that rifles could have been used in this
area; however, the primary reason for using bow and arrow was
because the employees did not want to hear the animals that were
being killed. This contradicts them feedinq the animals and
allowing the herd to grow. It is a question of how these animals
will be treated.
Ms. DonCarlos stated that it would be a humane method of removing
animals. As far as why the Minneapolis Waterworks did not want to
use sharpshooters, there is a cost involved. The DNR has issued
permits in situations where agencies have requested bow hunting and
�i
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MP.RCH 16, 1998 PAGE 16
has no problem with it, as the hunts are conducted in a humane and
safe manner.
Councilman Barnette asked how wounded animals would be tracked and
if they would be dressed on site.
Ms. DonCarlos stated that as far as wounding, there would not be
any unrecovered deer. Also, the animals would be dressed in the
field.
Councilman Barnette asked if the kill rate is the same with the
rifle versus the bow hunting.
Mr. Mark Graham, Director of the Metro Bowhunters Resource Base,
stated that all the shots would be from elevated stands and limited
to no more than 20 yards. The persons selected for this operation
will have been through training. They also would have to
demonstrate a proficiency with the bow and arrow and takinq animals
through their programs. The people are donating their time and not
allowed to take hide, hair, or meat. The reason the organization
exists is to demonstrate that bow hunting can be an efficient and
effective method for deer removal. It is an emotional issue.
Given another alternative, he would personally rather use this
method. He could provide documents from other cities to address
the issues of safety and wounded deer.
Mayor Jorqenson asked how they choose the participants.
Mr. Graham stated that those who would participate have completed
the advanced bow hunters course, as well as the ethics and shooting
proficiency tests. They choose people through a lottery system,
but they.are very careful in how they select these persons.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that there was a memorandum on the potential
cost to the City of Minneapolis that was considerable. She
questioned if that was one of the determining factors in using the
archery association.
Mr. Ring stated that this was a factor, and there would be no cost
to the City of Minneapolis.
Councilman Schneider felt that other options should be reviewed.
He did not care if it costs the City of Minneapolis more to take
care of this problem.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the herd would have to be reduced to
the point where the deer will not continually remove all the
understory which means down to a low level.
Mr. Yasser AbouAish, Superintendent of the Waterworks, stated that
he does not claim to be an expert in deer herd management and
relies on the DNR for that information. The level of reduction
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 16, 1998 PAGE 17
they are trying to achieve is not based on deer reduction every
year. Chasing the deer out of the complex would not be
responsible, as it will add to someone else's problem. Lowering
the fence will jeopardize their employees, and he would not support
this suggestion. He did not think the City of Minneapolis would
support allowing sharpshooters to conduct a deer thinning program
because their facility operates 24 hours a day. There are
facilities that are not staffed and personnel need to check.
MOTION by Councilman Billings to adopt Resolution No. 20-1998 and
authorize the necessary documents pertaining thereto. Seconded by
Councilman Barnette.
Councilman Barnette stated that as disgusting as it is to kill
deer, this seems to be the option that is the most humane. Whether
it be by bow and arrow or rifle, he felt that with the closeness of
the shoot, either method will be just as lethal. There is less
opportunity for a stray arrow to do damage than a bullet. He
supported the Minneapolis plan.
Councilman Barnette stated that, philosophically, we already agreed
that killing deer for management is appropriate because the City
allowed it at Springbrook Nature Center.
Councilman Schneider stated that he voted against the deer
reduction at Springbrook Nature Center the first year. However
subsequently, he has supported it. Some time should be given to
review the other options. He did not believe this was deer
management. The City's heritage is that we care about natural
resources and exploring every possible option. He cannot support
this resolution, as he has to do what he feels is right.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that it is doubly hard when people have
an attraction to the deer and feed them. She has heard from the
DNR what would be acceptable, and it does not seem there are other
options available. The DNR stated that if the deer were removed
from the area some would die being transported, and there is the
question of survival in a different environment.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that this is a difficult issue because she
comes from a family of hunters. However, she has a difficult time
with the number of deer within the facility. She felt they are
thought of as domesticated pets, rather than wild animals. She
felt the City did not have much choice but to reduce the herd. She
encouraged the Waterworks personnel from treating these animais as
domestic pets only to watch them be slaughtered year after year.
The deer outside these boundaries roam free in the City. Deer
herds have been thinned to protect and prevent injuries to our
residents. She also encouraged the persons interested in deer
management to work with the Minneapolis City Council in trying to
assure that this does not keep repeating itself.
�
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 16, 1998 PAGE 18
Councilman Schneider asked if this management plan was a one-year
plan.
Mr. Sallman stated that the intent is to have a continuing plan the
same as the City's plan. Council would be notified if it was the
intent to enact the plan on a given year, but it would not
necessarily need approval.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that her concern is that tYiis does not
become a private hunting reserve.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that they would not allow the
participants to take the deer, and the participants are not paying
to participate. _
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to amend the resolution by adding
the words "for 1998" at the end of the fifth paragraph. Seconded
by Councilman Billinqs.
Mr. Knaak stated that, in essence, Council is granting a variance.
Unless it is specified that the variance would be reviewed it would
continue. To rescind it would take a public hearing and due
process. An alternative would be to restrict the initial
resolution to provide for some review.
Councilman Schneider asked if the amended motion provided for a
one-year term.
Mr. Knaak stated that it does not because simply to refer to 1998,
does not change the resolution in the manner suggested. Language
could be added to the effect that this resolution would be reviewed
annually, semi-annually, or every five years by the City for it to
be effective beyond this date. Added lanquage would limit this to
a variance for a period of years.
Councilman Billings stated that another alternative would be to add
language to say that this variance would continue; however, Council
would be notified whenever the deer manaqement plan is to take
effect. This gives the option of re-submitting some controls by
establishing a modification clause so Council is aware of the
� future application of this variance.
Mr. Knaak stated that language could be added to the effect that
the approval and authority granted under this resolution shall
expire on December 31, 1998.
UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, al1 voted nay, except
Councilman Barnette. Mayor Jorgenson declared the MOTION FAILED.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to amend the resolution by deleting
the words "BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED" in paragraph six and combine
paragraphs five and six. Further, to add the following paragraph
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 16, 1998 PAGE 19
to this resolution to read as follows: "BE IT F'URTHER RESOLVED
that the approval and authority granted by this resolution shall
expire on December 31, 1998. Also, to change the title of the
resolution by adding the following words: "for the year ending

voice vote, Councilman Schneider, Councilwoman Bolkcom, Councilman
Barnette, and Mayor Jorgenson voted in favor of the motion.

Councilman Barnette. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Jorgenson declared the motion carried unanimously.
14. INFORMAL STATUS REPORTS:
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that due to the lateness of the
hour, he will not be having the department managers review their
goals and objectives. It was agreed Council would meet March 30,
1998 to review these goals and objectives.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that volunteers are need to work on the
50th anniversary task force. Anyone interested should contact the
City Manager at 572-3500.
Councilman Barnette stated that Sue Anne Kirkham has agreed to be
the spearhead for the proposed all-class reunion of Fridley High
School, combining this with the Fridley `49er Days parade. This
will be the 40th reunion of the first graduating class from Fridley
Hiqh School. It is proposed that members of each class drive a
vintage automobile in the parade. He suggested that persons
interested in working on this event should contact Sue Anne Kirkham
at City Hall. The n�mber is 571-3450.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that Council received petitions from
persons concerned about youth basketball and asked if this issue
had been resolved.
Mr. Burns stated that the plan is to move the youth basketball to
Monday night so there is not a conflict with Wednesday night
church. The people playing volleyball on Monday nights had no
problem with moving to Wednesday night.

MEMOR.ANDUM
DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
DATE: Aprii 1, 1998
TO: William Burns, Ci Manager �
� � ----
FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
John Flora, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Second and final reading of an ordinance declaring a portion
of the Highway 65 Turnback Property as excess property
:• -• �
On January 26, 1987, the City Council passed an ordinance vacating a portion of the
right-of-way immediately between Highway 65 and what is now the Fridley Executive
Center Site. The vacated area was part of a larger parcel which was 64,880 square
feet in area and was deeded to the City from MnDOT in the early 1980's as a"turnback
parcel". The City vacated 33,631 square feet of the former highway right-of-way in
order to create more developable area for Woodbridge Properties.
The City Council approved the first reading of the ordinance declaring the vacated
33,631 s.f. of area as "excess," in order to convey it to the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority. The HRA does not have to formally approve the acceptance of the property,
but staff will review the issue with the HRA at the April 2, 1998 meeting.
On March 16, 1998, when the first reading of the ordinance was discussed, staff
indicated that there is a small, triangular area of this piece which needs to be
"excepted" from the conveyance to the HRA, so that it can be part of the right-of-way for
the intersection improvement project. A second area of overlap was also found (see
attached drawing). The surveyors for the plat have completed the descriptions, and the
attached ordinance includes the exceptions.
1.01
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached ordinance for second and final
reading, declaring the property immediately adjacent to Highway 65 as "excess," and
authorizing the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute the necessary documents to
convey ownership of the property to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority

MEMORANDUM

DATE: April 1, 1998
TO: William Burns, City Manager �� � __
FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing access and use of right-of-way for
Trunk Highway 65/Central Avenue/Lake Pointe Drive
intersection improvement
BACKGROUND
At the March 16, 1998 meeting, the City Council passed Resolution Number 16 - 1998
which indicated that the City would grant the necessary right-of-way for the intersection
improvements over an area which was turned back from MnDOT to the City in the early
1980's. The resolution also granted permission for temporary construction access
during the intersection improvements. MnDOT staff has reviewed the Resolution, and
requested the City to pass a resolution which does not contain reference to a future plat
which would dedicate the necessary right-of-way. MnDOT staff wanted a definitive and
affirmative statement that the area is dedicated for public use. �
The attached resofution repeals the resolution adopted on NFarch 16, 1998 and contains
the language requested by MnDOT staff. In addition, another Exhibit has been
attached to the Resolution to also make an affirmative and definitive dedication
statement for the right-of-way for the realignment of Lake Pointe Drive and West Moore
Lake Drive.
A similar resolution regarding this area was approved by the HRA at their January,
1998 meeting, and MnDOT stated that just the Council Resolution needs to be
amended.
2.01
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached Resolution which repeals
Resolution No. 16 - 1998 and officially dedicates the necessary right-of-way for the
Trunk Highway 65/Central Avenue/Lake Pointe Drive intersection improvements.

THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUB
Mr. Tatting stated the request by Semper Development is to vacate a 5-foot drainage and
utility easement at 6525 Univers�ty Avenue to allow the construction of a new 13,900
square foot Walgreen's store at the site.
Mr. Tatting stated the site is zoned S-2, Redevelopment District. The zoning to the north
is R-1, Single Family; to the east is R-1, Single Family; to the south is S-2.
Redevelopment Distnct; and to the west is C-3, General Shopping Center District. The lot
size is 2.6 acres.
Mr. Tatting stated the former building was 20-feet from the property line and easement.
The development is two plats, and the existinq east/west easement divides the property
3.01
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. MARCH 18,,1998 PAGE 2
in half. The former building was not in the easement area. The ovefiead utility lines
were located in the easement and ran to a city street light on 66th Avenue N.E. The
overhead utility lines have been moved to now run north/south along the eastem property
line to connect with the street light on 66th Avenue.
Mr. Tatting stated the proposed construction would take place over the existing easement
area. The City is not using this easement for any utilities. The storm sewers are in the
street right-of-way. Minnegasco does not use the existing easement either. U. S. West
and Paragon Cable use the overhead wires but service stops at the last pole before the
proposed building. NSP is using the ovefiead lines for the street light.
Mr. Tatting stated the former building was 14,500 square feet. The proposed building is
13,905 square feet. The proposed building site has been moved so that it would now be
located on both sides of the existing easement. The site plan shows the building,
parking, lighting and landscaping within the easement area. The easement is not
necessary for future City or gas utilities, and its vacation would allow for the
redevelopment of the property.
Mr. Tatting stated staff recommends approval of the vacation request with the following
stipulations: The vacation may be approved in one of finro ways:
The first is: .
1. The eastem most five feet shall not be vacated.
2. The overhead utility lines that run to the city light pole, located north of the westem
extent of the site, shall be buried before the Certificate of Occupancy is issued. The
applicant shall provide the City with a copy of the utility easement agreement befinreen
them and NSP.
The second is:
1.. A 10-foot easement along the east property line of Lot 12, Block 3, Rice Creek
Terrace Plat 2, shall be granted for drainage and utilities. __
2. The easement shall be defined and recorded before the Certificate of Occupancy
is issued for the new building.
3. The overhead utility lines that run north from the utility pole at the southeast comer
of Lot 13, Block 3, Rice Creek Terrace Plat 2, shall be buried before the Certificate
of Occupancy is issued for the new building.
Mr. Sielaff stated the City is creating an easement, and asked what approvals are needed
to do sa
Mr. Tatting stated this is an agreement between the City and the property owner which
must be recorded with the property.
Mr. Sielaff asked if the Commission was approving the vacation of one easement and the
creation of another easement.
3.02
PLAhNING COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 18,1998 PAGE 3
Mr. Tatting stated, yes. The existing easUwest easement would be vacated, and a new
north/south easement would be created for utilities. The new area for utilities would need
to be defined and recorded with the property.
Mr. Christensen stated the vacation should have been done when they went through the
process initially. That was an oversight. They are asking the City to vacate because the
easement was created when the lot was originally platted. If an easement was created
privately, they would have to deal with the owners. In a nutshell, they are asking the City
to relocate an easement so the existing one is not under the building.
Ms. Savage asked if the petitioner had any problems with the stipulations.
Mr. Christensen stated the platted easement is a drainage and utility easement. It has
never been used for drainage. He did not know that the grading plan would create a
drainage situation on the new easement. He would suggest leavmg out the "drainage"
part and just making it a"utility easement".
Ms. Savage asked staff to respond to that request.
Mr. Tatting stated that could be done. It seems the biggest issue is the utility line itself.
Mr. Christensen stated that other than that, they are fine with the other stipulations.
Mr. Sielaff asked if the grading plan was such that there is a retention basin.
Mr. Tatting stated, yes. A retention pond would be located to the north. The relocated
easement would be along the easterly property line.
MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to close the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:50 P.M.
Mr. Kondrick stated he had no problem with the request. This cleans up paperwork and
creates a reasonable easement for utilities.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba, to recommend approval of Vacation
Request, SAV #98-01, by Semper Development, Ltd., to vacate a five foot wide drainage
and utility easement on Lots 13-16� Block 3, Rice Creek Terrace, Plat 2, to allow the
construction of a new Walgreen's store, located at 6525 University Avenue N.E., with the
following stipulations:
1. A 10-foot easement along the east property line of Lot 12. Block 3, Rice Creek
Terrace Plat 2, shall be granted for utilities.
2. The easement shall be defined and recorded before the Certificate of Occupancy
is issued for the new building.
3. The overhead utility lines that run north from the utility pole at the southeast comer
of Lot 13, Block 3, Rice Creek Terrace Plat 2, shall be buried before the Certificate
of Occupancy is issued for the new building.

2. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF A SPECIAL USE PERMIT. SP #98-

LN�.:
To permit the sale of automobiles on Lots 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, at Block 3, University
Industrial Park, generally located at 7920 and 7976 University Avenue N.E.
Mr. Klus stated he was not aware of the disagreement on the parking. . If he had known
that, he would have met with staff and would not have come to the meeting. tn October,
their architect talked with Ms. McPherson and, at that time, they thought they were over-
parked. He finds out now they are under-parked which makes his coming to the meeting
somewhat academic. He would like to have another meeting date to give them time to
work on this and to provide time to work with staff. He believed this can be worked out.

Anoka County continues to move forward with its plans to improve the

County Attomey Robert M.A. Johnson, contacted our staff regarding a 17' street,
utility, bikeway/walkway easement that was conveyed to the City by Midwest

convey that easement to the County through a quit claim deed.
The easement runs north and south, along the entire east property line of the
Texaco Station, at 8100 East River Road. We have confirmed that this
conveyance will not pose any issues for our Public Works Department, and. the
department concurs with Mr. Johnson's position that this should be conveyed to
Anoka County.

March 2,1998
I am writing to follow up on my telephone conversation with Barbara Dacy, Com:nunity
Development Director, during which we discussed the conveyance of an easement owned b}' the City of
Fridley to the County of Anoka. Because Ms. Dacy is going on vacation, she has asked me to direct this
letter to you. By a Quit Claim Deed dated August 8, 1991, Midwest Super Stop, Inc., conveyed to the City of
Fridley, a 17-foot street, utility and bikeway/walkway easement over a portion of tracts A and B, Registered
Land Survey No. 125, Anoka County, Minnesota. A copy this deed is enclosed for reference. I have also
enclosed a sketch of the subject parcel wluch includes the location of the 17 ft. easement. The County is in the
process of determining its right-of-way needs in the vicinity of this propeRy for construction of certain
improvements to East River Road To facilitate the construction of the improvements, the County is .
requesting that the City of Fridley transfer this easement to the County.
To transfer the easement, I have prepared the enclosed Quit Claim Deed I would be appreciate if
you could put this on the next City Council agenda for approval of the conveyance of the easement to the
County.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to call.

Semper Development, Ltd. is requesting the vacation of a five foot wide drainage and utility easement
on Lots 13-16, Block 3, Rice Creek Terrace Plat 2. The vacation of the easement will allow the
construction of a new Walgreens store at the site. The proposed building will be 13,905 square feet in

� :.1' • � I �� • :
The site to be developed consists of Lots 13-16, Block 3, Rice Creek Terrace Plat 2 and Lots 9-12, Block 2,
Rice Creek Terrace Plat 1. A building on the site was torn down in February of 1998. The former building
had housed such businesses as Red Owl Foods, 10,000 Auto Parts, United Furniture Liquidators, Kokesh
Motorcycles and The Gym. The site is presently being regraded for a proposed new commercial structure.
The proposed Walgreens building is 103 feet by 135 feet with a footprint of approximately 13,905 square

The existing drainage and utility easement is 5 feet by 300 feet and runs through the middle of the
redevelopment site from east to west. The petitioner has proposed locating a Walgreens store in the
easement. The City is not using this easement for its utilities. Northern States Power had been using the
easement for overhead utility lines. Paragon Cable did not use the easement area over the site in question,
but they do use the 5 foot easement area directly to the east of the site.
In order for the site to be regraded, the overhead utilities have been diverted to run north and west,
where they connect with a utility light pole south of 66�' Avenue NE. Two utility poles have been
erected to the north of the site along the south boulevard of 66�' Avenue NE.

DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST:
Kim Miller is requesting a variance be granted to reduce the front yard setback from 80 feet to 37 feet.
If the variance is approved, the petitioner would be allowed to construct a 6 foot by 34 foot addition
along the south side of the existing Miller Funeral Home structure, located at 6210 Highway 65.
HARDSHIP STATEMENT:
"Change usage of building to single locale requires more storage/viewing space." In the mid 1990s,
Miller Funeral Homes, Inc. sold two of its locations, retaining only the Fridley site. Due to this
occurrence and OSHA regulations regarding embalming, they have had to maximize the use of the
space within the building. The variance would allow more efficient use of the interior for gatherings
and storage.
SUMMARY OF ISSUES:
Section 205.15.03.C.(1) of the Fridley Zoning Code requires permitted structures to be a minimum of
80 feet from any public right-of way. The petitioner's building proposal will convert a variety of
storage areas within the principal building to assembly space for mourners and family members.
Portions of the existing building are currently 37 feet from the front yard. This request will fill in an
area that is 34 feet by 6 feet to this same setback.
This front yard setback variance was approved the Appeals Commission and the Crty Council in
1996, however the petitioner did not begin construction or ask for an extension of the variance.
Therefore, the time period for the variance has lapsed and it is no longer valid.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO THE APPEALS COMMISSION:
Staff recommended that the Appeals Commission approve the variance with the stipulation that the
petitioner grant a 10 foot easement adjacent to the existing drainage easement to provide access to a
sewage pumping station.
APPEALS COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Appeals Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request to the City
Council with the stipulation recommended by staff.
CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Appeals Commission recommendation.

Section 205.15.03.C.(1) of the Fridley Zoning Code requires permitted structures to be a minimum of 80
feet from any public right-of way.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide adequate open space azound commercial structures
for aesthetic and fire-fighting purposes. _
. � - � . . ._� ._� -
The variance request to reduce the front yard setback from 80 feet to 37 feet will allow the enclosure of a 6_
foot by 34 foot alcove along the south face of the building. The request does not have an adverse impact on
adjacent properties as the proposed addition is located within two architectural elements on the south
facade. This request is consistent with similar requests previously granted for the property, as well as
adjacent properties in the vicinity.

MEMORANDUM
DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
TO: William Burns, City Manager ���
FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
Scott Hickok, Planning Coordinator
Julie Jones, Planning Assistant/Recycling Coordinator
SUBJECT: 1998 Yard Waste Transfer Service Contract
BACKGROUND:
For a number of years, the City of Fridley has contracted yearly with Morrell and
Morrell, Inc. for yard waste transfer services. Our last contract extension expired last
November. Upon consulting Terry Morrell's desire to extend the existing contract
another year, he concluded that the company had extended the contract,for three years
already without a price increase. He later replied that they would be willing to continue
providing yard waste transfer services to Fridley but at a cost increase. Morrell and
Morrell had previously charged the City $109.92 per 75.85 cubic yard roll off bin that
they supply. They are now requesting $120 per pull, which is a 9% increase (equal to
3% per year).
Staff did not solicit other quotes from other contractors that can provide this type of
service since we were aware that the City of Columbia Heights recently solicited
proposals, and all other companies requested compensation about double the price of
what Morrell and Morrell charges. Morrell and Morrell has always been very responsive
to our needs, so staff has no desire to change service providers at this time.
BUDGET:
An expense of $7,000 is budgeted for this service in the 1998 SWAP budget. In 1997,
payments to Morrell and Morrell totaled $4,286.88. However, we experienced an
unusually light fall season due to weather and expect a busy spring. Even with the
proposed price increase, we still expect service costs to be within budget this year.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the
attached one-year contract upon review I ;ity Attomey. The contractor has
reviewed and approved the contract terrr 7•01 � contract needs to be executed by April
24, when the Fridley Yard Waste TransfE� ��.� �� scheduled to open. M-98-74

SUBJECT: Letter Contract with Braun Intertec for Springbrook CWP Grant Project
BACKGROUND:
In February 1997, the City of Fridley, on behalf of the Six Cities Watershed
Management Organization (SCWMO), received a grant from the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency. The grant is a Clean Water Partnership (CWP) Resource Investigation
Grant. The purpose of the grant is to investigate possible reasons for the dramatic loss
of vegetation in the Wetlands of Springbrook Nature Center over the past ten years.
A 23-page Work Plan detailing what will be accomplished in the project is currently
being finalized. It will be forwarded with a cover summary to the City Manager's of each
of the four cities involved in this project as soon as it is complete.
The Work Plan includes a Monitoring Plan which describes the testing procedures that
will take place as part of the grant. The "quantity" of water coming through the
Springbrook wetland complex, both during normal flow levels and storm events, is going
to be measured. The water "quality" is going to be tested also. Part of the grant is
being used to pay for an intern which was hired to conduct the sampling and deliver
samples to the lab. There is other monitoring that is going to be completed as part of
this grant, but the water quality testing is what relates to the laboratory fee contract
attached.
PROPOSALS:
Proposals were sought from five local laboratories that were qualified to conduct testing
for a CWP Project. Three responded and submitted satisfactory proposals by the
deadline. The lowest cost is lab fees was proposed by Braun Intertec.
8.01
CONTRACT COST:
The cost of laboratory services for this project is not expected to exceed $10,500. All of
these costs will be covered by the grant funds already dedicated to this project.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff views Braun Intertec as a responsible laboratory to conduct this service and
recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the letter
contract attached.

SUBJECT: Supplemental Agreement to 57�' Avenue Reconstruction Project Agreement with BRW
When the City initiated the agreement with BRW to prepare the design plans for the 57`� Avenue upgrade
project, the original estimate was based upon a$400,000 project. With the addition of landscaping,
boulevard treatments, lighting, etc., the estimated project is now at approximately $800,000. As a result of
this increase, BRW has submitted a request for a change order to their agreement to cover the additional
costs associated with the design work. The figures presented are in direct relationship to the percentage of
effort based upon the estimated contract price. Accordingly, the changes are on that straight line.
The following is a breakdown of the cost and the City impact; , .
As the scope of the project has substantially increased from the original proposal and the new figures are
predicated upon an estimated cost with a caveat that the final cost will be established based upon the contract
award, recommend the City Council approve the supplemental agreement to the BRW contract.

Dear John:

612 370 1378 Fax
On behalf of BRW I am requesting your consideration of additional fees for the above-
referenced project. The plans have been prepared and submitted to MnDOT State Aid, Anoka
County, and the City of Fridley for review. I believe that the plans represent the necessary detail
to allow for the competitive bidding and construction of the project.
The project has become more complex and the extent of the work more significant than
originally anticipated by BRW. The original project was based on widening the roadway with an
overlay of the existing bituminous surface. Several other factors have attributed to the
complexity and scope expansion: the addition of storm sewer to pick-up the vacant parcel at the
northeast corner of 57th Avenue and Main Street; the multiple phases of staging and traffic
control necessary to construct the roadway project based upon the final roadway alignment; an
accurate existing conditions plan that identified numerous monument signs and regulatory signs
within the conidor; preparation of presentation graphics for City Council and neighborhood
meetings; and right-of-way issues.
When BRW prepared the fee budget, we based the anticipated effort on the approximate
$400,000 construction estimate that was outlined in the Traffic Study for 57th Avenue
Reconstruction project. Based on our initial understanding of the project (widening and overlay)
we prepared our design fee budget at $23,900 or approximately 6.0% of the construction cost.
Based on the current engineer's estimate of construction, the construction cost is estimated at
$800,000. Based on the magnitude of the project increase, we believe that a reasonable design
fee is 6.0% of the revised construction cost of $800,000 or $48,000.
A similar problem in fees is anticipated for the construction phase of the project. Again based on
our anticipated construction cost of $400,000 and the anticipated widenin� and o��erlay

phases of staging and traffic control set-up, along ��ith the construction on current privately
owned property will necessitate full-time inspection. Based on typical MnDOT State Aid work,
we anticipate the construction inspection fees to be 8.0% of the construction cost or $64,000. It
is my understanding that this amount has been discussed with Anoka County and that they
viewed an 8.0% fee as "market value". It is further my understanding that Anoka County will
reimburse the City for 100% of the construction inspection costs.
The construction staking budget in similar fashion would need to be adjusted. Our initial budget
identified that construction staking would be 2.4% of construction cost. Updating this amount to
the current estimated construction cost would include a budget of $19,200 for this task.
In addition, our initial scope of work excluded the preparation of legal descriptions and exhibits
for the easements now needed from the adjacent parcels. We anticipate a budget of $7,000 to
complete the easement descriptions and exhibits.
A second additional task was the preparation of graphics for City Council and meetings with
affected property owners. BRW has spent $1,330 to complete this work.
Based on previous work with you, it is our understanding that material testing will be performed
by others for this project. We typically do not provide these services, but could sub this work to
a geotechnical firm if you desire these services.
Based on the above information, we request that the fee budget be revised to the following:
Roadway Design
Construction Inspection
Construction Staking
Base Mapping
Geotechnical Investigation
Landscape Enhancements
Legal Descriptions

PW98-072
BRW has prepared the plans and specifications for 57`� Avenue improvement between University Avenue
and Main Street. The County has submitCed their comments and they have been incorporated into the
project. The plans have been reviewed by MnDOT and we are expecting their approval shortly.
The County has requested that the City serve as the lead agency for advertising, award, inspection and
administering of the project. The County will be involved in review of the plans and a review of the bids
but the responsibility lies with the City to complete the project.
As the plans are ready to be distributed and as a means of expediting the advertisement for a spring award,
recommend the City Council approve the final plans and specifications for the project and also authorize
the City staff to advertise the project so that we may initiate an early start on the improvement.
Recommend the Council adopt the attached resolution approving final plans and authorizing advertisement
for bids for the 57�' Avenue improvement project.

We received a revised estimate for the 57`� Avenue improvement project. The current figure indicates the
project is expected to run at $862,329.65.
Based upon the City's initial contribution of $100,000 and the participating County cost requirements, we
are looking at a City expenditure of $216,641, the County is in the area of $342,290, the HRA portion for
lighting and landscaping is estimated at $86,000 with the remaining assessment of approximately $184,165.
To initiate the early construction start of the proj ect, we propose to advertise the proj ect in the Apri19 Focus,
opening bids on Apri130 and submitting the project to the Council at their May 4 meeting for award. It is
all predicated on the State's approval which we expect to receive prior to fihat time.

SUBJECT: SCADA Upgrade
We have been advised by our consultant that the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) for the Supervisory
Control Automatic Data Acquisition (SCADA ) System provided by the Automatic Systems Company is
in need of upgrade. The equipment originally installed was for the operation of the Commons Park plant.
Since that time we have added communication with the Locke Park filter plant as well as the 73rd Avenue
filter plant. In addition to the water system, with our recent program upgrading the lift stations within the
City, we have added the protection and monitoring of our lift stations. At this point in time, the system is
overloaded and cannot accept additional equipment. The cost for the PLC is $10,266. We had this price
verified by our computer consultant, Kaeding & Associates, indicating that this is a proper cost for the
equipment to be installed.
In addition, we underestimated the SCADA connection for the Mississippi Street underpass lift station. We
originally estimated $12,000. We received bids for $15,542 for a deficit of $3,542.
With the award of the Insituform project this year, the bids received provided a savings of $30,000.
Accordingly, the two SCADA items, the Programmable Logic Controller at $10,266 and the additional
SCADA connection for the Mississippi lift station at $3,542, totaling $13,808 is within the funds remaining
within the sewer account.
Recommend the City Council authorize the additional funding of the SCADA upgrade items (PLC and
SCADA connection) from the Insituform project to the SCADA projects in the sewer fund.

SUBJECT: SCADA Central Processing Unit
Attached is a letter from Bruce Wirth from Automatic Systems, advising the City that Central
Processing Unit (CPT� in the City's water and sewer SCADA System is at capacity and cannot
accept the remaining sewer lift stations scheduled to be connected to the SCADA System. The
space problem has been caused by several factors. The original SCADA System design did not
include the 14 sewer lift stations, Water Treatment Plant Number 3, or the upgrade of Well
Number 1.
The 1998 Water Capital Improvement Budget contains $45,000 to clean and inspect the 1-1/2
million gallon standpipe at 53rd Avenue and Johnson Street. As you will recall, the inspection
and repair was completed last year, and I am recommending that $10,266 of the available $45,000
be used to upgrade the CPU in the SCADA System so that the installation of the sewer lift
stations into the SCADA can proceed on schedule.

Re: SCADA System Upgrades

Deaz PauT:
This letter replies to your Mazch 12th FAX and associated March 9th proposal from Automatic
Systems Company (ASC). The pricing from ASC to replace the Commons Park Plant PLC processor
appears reasonable. Allen-Bradley list prices for the processor and EEPROM total about $11,690.
We can't comment in great detail on the need for this change-out. I understand there have been
several sites added to this system since the original 1993 design. I do know that there is a lot of
communication burden (and probably memory burden) due to the way the system is programmed.
There are at least three sites that function as "master" stations where all of the water system data is
available for operator inquiry. When a new site is added, the related data communication grows
geometrically.
We would be pleased to provide additional services to the City if you desire. If you would like to
discuss this matter, please call.

The 1998 Storm Water Capital Fund budgeted $12,000 to connect the M'ississippi Street

SITE LEASE AGREEMENT
THIS SITE LEASE AGREEMENT ("Lease"), made this day of
, 1998 between City of Fridley("Landlord"), and
U.S. WEST Wireless,. L.L.C., a Delaware Limited Liability Company
("Tenant").
For good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:
1. Leased Premises. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Lease, commencing day_of 199 ("Effective Date") Landlord
hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord a portion of
Landlord's property, (300 sq. ft., generally 15' x 20' for radio
equipment on the ground plus nine antennae located three each at 120
degree intervals on the water tower support structure (pedestal)
located at 6960 N.E. Highway 65 in the City of Fridley, County of
Anoka, State of Minnesota, legally described in Exhibit A attached
hereto, subject to any and all existing easements. Landlord also
leases to Tenant a portion of the Water Tower ("Tower") located on
the property as more particularly described in Exhibit B("Site
Plan") attached hereto and including the actual. location , on the
Tower at which directional antennas, connecting cables and
appurtenances will be attached and located, the exact location of
each to be reasonably approved by Landlord's Director of Public
Works, together with appurtenant easements and access rights ('�Leased
Premises").
2. Rent.
(a) Amount, Adjustments. As consideration for this Lease,
Tenant shall pay Landlord an annual rent in the amount of 512,360.00
for the initial year pro-rated for the portion of the year remaining
after the date in the first paragraph of this lease, which shall be
increased each year on January 1, by the greater of: (a) three
percent (3�) of the previous year's annualized rental, or (b) by an
amount equal to the increase in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI").
The CPI shall mean the "Consumer Price Index - for All Urban
Consumers, All Cities, Al1 Items (1984 = 100)" as published by the
United States Department of Labor Statistics, or if such index shall
be discontinued, the successor index, or if there shall be no
successor index, such comparable index as mutually agreed upon by the
parties. To determine the annual rental increase to be paid by
Tenant under a CPI adjuster, the annualized rental for the previous
year shall be multiplied by a percentage figure, computed from a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the CPI for the third
quarter of the preceding year and the denominator of which shall be
the CPI for the corresponding quarter of one year earlier. Such
fraction shall be converted to a percent age equivalent. The
resulting percentaqe fixture shall be multiplied by the previous
year's rent (annualized for the first year, see Section 4 below).
12.05
(b) Time of Payment, Taxes. Landlord shall communicate all
rental increases to the Tenant in writing by the preceding December 1
of each year. The annual rental shall be paid before January 1 of
each year. For the first year, the rental shall be pro rated through
December 31 and shall be paid to the Landlord in full on or before
the Effective Date. If the Tenant does not meet the requirements
referenced in Subsection 3(a) below by June 1, 1998, and Tenant h�s
diligently pursued such requirements, Landlord shall refund the
Tenant rental payment made at the time of Lease execution and this
Lease shall terminate. In addition to the annual rental; Tenant
agrees to timely pay its pro rata share of any taxes or payment in
lieu of taxes required as a result of this Lease. Landlord aqrees to
immediately forward to Tenant any information for T�nant to determine
the amount of such taxes or payments in lieu of ta�-�^.
3. Governmental Approval Contingency
(a) Tenant A plication. Tenant's right to use the Leased
Premises is expressly made contingent upon its obtaining all--the
certificates, permits, zoning and other approvals that may be
required by any federal, state, or local authority.including but not
limited to the Conditions Precedent listed in Exhibit C. This shall
include the engineering study specified in Subsection 3(b) below on
the Structure to be conducted at Tenant's expense. Landlord shall
cooperate with Tenant in its efforts to obtaiti and retain such
approvals and shall take no action which would adversely affect the
status of the Leased Premises with respect to the Tenant's proposed
use thereof.
(b) Interference Study. Before obtaining a building permit,
Tenant must pay for the reasonable cost of (i) a radio frequency
interference study carried out by an independent and qualified
professional mutually agreed to by the Landlord and Tenant showing
that Tenant's intended use will not interfere with any existing
communications facilities and (ii) an engineering study showing that
the Structure is able to support the Tenant's Facilities, as defined
in Subsection 5(b), without prejudice to the City's use of the
Structure. If the study finds that there is a potential for
interference that cannot be reasonably remedied or for prejudice to
the Structure, Landlord may terminate this Lease immediately and
refund the initial rental to Tenant.
(c) Non-approval. In the event that any application necessary
under Subsection 3(a) above is finally rejected or any certificate,
permit, license, or approval issued to Tenant is canceled, expires,
lapses, or is otherwise withdrawn or terminared by governmental
authority so that Tenant, in its sole discretion, will be unable to
use the Leased Premises for its intended purposes, Tenant shall have
the right to terminate this Lease and be reimbur.sed for the rental
payment if made pursuant to Subsection 2(b) above. Notice of
Tenant's exercise of its right to terminate shall be given to
Landlord in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested, and
shall be effective upon receipt of such notice by Landlord as
evidenced by the return receipt. Except as required under Subsection
9(b) and 12(d) below, upon such termination, this Lease shall become
null and void and the parties shall have no further obligations to
each other.
12.06
�
4. Term and Renewals. The "Initial Term" of this lease shall
commence on the date in the first paragraph of this Lease ("Effective
Date") and end on December 31 of the year 2002. Subject to the terms
and conditions of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to extend
this Lease for three (3) additional five (5) year renewal periods
("Renewal Term") commencing on January 1 following the expiration
date of the Initial Term or of any subsequent Renewal Term. � .
This Lease shall be automatically renewed for each successive Renewal
Term unless Tenant sends written notice of non-renewal to Landlord no
later than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial
Term or any Renewal Term, such notice provided in accordance with
Section 20 of this Lease.]
5. Tenant's Use
(a) User Priority. Tenant agrees that the following
priorities of use, in descending ozder, shall apply in the event of
communication interference or other conflict while this Lease is in
effect, and Tenant's use shall be subordinate accordingly:
1. Landlord;
2. Public safety agencies which Landlord uses, including
but not limited to law enforcement, fire, and public
works;
3. Government-regulated entities whose antennas offer a
service to the general public for a fee, in a manner
similar to a public utility, such as long distance
and cellular telephone, not including radio or
television broadcasters. Within this category the
Tenant with the earlier effective date of a
continuous site lease agreement shall have priority.
(b) Purposes. Tenant shall use the Leased Premises only for
the purpose of installing, maintaining, and operating a Landlord-
approved (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) communications antenna facility, equipment, cabinets and an
accessory building, and uses incidental thereto for providing radio
and wireless telecommunication services which Tenant is legally
authorized to provide to the public. This use shall be non-
exclusive, and Landlord specifically `reserves the right to allow the
Leased Premises to be used by other parties and to make additions,
deletions, or modifications to its own facilities on the Leased
Premises. Tenant's communications antenna facility shall consist of
antennas at a Landlord-approved location, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, along with cables and appurtenances connected
to an accessory building or cabinet located on the Leased Premises
("Antenna Facilities"}. Tenant shall comply with all applicable
ordinances, statutes and regulations of local, state and federal
government agencies.
(c) Construction. Tenant may erect and operate an antenna
array in accordance with its submitted application attached as
Exhibit B. If Tenant seeks to increase the number of antennas, it
must first pay for an evalur`=-- ,arried out by a qualified
professional, mutually agreec12��7 by Landlord and Tenant,
demonstrating that (i) each additional antenna will not interfere
with existing antennas or with proposed antennas with a higher
priority and that (ii) any Structure can structurally support the
additional antennas. The cost of such antenna evaluation must be
paid by the Tenant. Landlord must consent to installation of
additional antennas, such consent will not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. If Landlord consents, the parties will negotiate the
amount of additional rental for the additional antennas.
{d) Operation. Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost
and expense, to operate and maintain the Antenna Facilities on the
Leased Premises in accordance with all applicable FCC rules and
regulations. Tenant's installation of aZl Antenna Facilities shall
be done according to plans approved by Landlord, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any damage done by Tenant,
its employees or agents to the Leased Premises or other Landlord
property including the Structure during installation or during
operations, shall be repaired at Tenant's expense within 30 days
after notification of damage. The Antenna Facilities shall remain
the exclusive property of the Tenant, unless otherwise provided in
this Lease.
(e) Maintenance, Im rovement Expenses. All modifications to
the Leased Premises and all improvements made for Tenant's benefit
shall be at the Tenant's expense and such improvements, including-
antenna, facilities and equipment, shall be maintained in a good
state of repair, at least equal to the standard of maintenance of the
Landlord's facilities on or adjacent to the Leased Premises, and
secured by Tenant. If Tenant's Antenna Facilities are mounted.on the
Structure they shall, at all times, be painted, at Tenant's expense,
the same color as the Structure.
(f) Replacements. Before the Tenant may update or replace the
Antenna Facilities, Tenant must notify and provide a detailed
proposal to Landlord. Tenant shall submit to Landlord a detailed
proposai for any such replacement facilities and any other
information reasonably requested by Landlord of such requested update
or replacement, including but not limited to a technical study,
carried out at Tenant's expense. Landlord may not unreasonably
withhold or delay approval.
(g) Drawinc�s. Tenant shall provide Landlord with as-built
drawings of the -equipment and improvements installed on the Leased
Premises or equivalent documents acceptable to Landlord, which show
the actual location of all Antenna Facilities. Said drawings shall
be accompanied by a complete and detailed inventory of all equipment,
personal property, and Antenna Facilities actuaily placed on the
Leased Premises.
(h) No Interference. Tenant shall, at its own expense,
maintain any equipment on or attached to the Leased Premises in �
safe condition, in good repair and in a manner reasonably suitable to
Landlord so as not to conflict with the use of the surrounding
premises by Landlord. Tenant shall not unreasonably interfere with
the operations of any prior tenant using the Structure and shall not
interfere with the working use of the water storage facilities
thereon or to be placed thereon '''lord.
12.08
�

clause.), or the Antenna Facilities unreasonably interfere with
another user with a higher priority, regardless of whether or
not such an interference was predicted in the initial

Landlord must give written notice to the above entities at the
addresses provided, informing them that Antenna Facilities or related
property have been removed and will be deemed abandoned if not
claimed and the storage fees and other reasonable costs paid within

,''
�

soon as possible after its action and give its reason for taking the
action. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or any other party
for any interruption in Tenant's service or interference with

Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease within its sole
discretion for cause and without payment of a termination fee.

(a) With Structure. Tenant shall not interfere with
Landlord's use of the Structure and agrees to cease all such actions
which unreasonably and materially interfere with Landlord's use
thereof no later than three business days after receipt of written
notice of the interference from Landlord. In the event that Tenant's
cessation of action is material to Tenant's use of the Leased
Premises and such cessation frustrates Tenant's use of the Leased
Premises, within Tenant's sole discretion, Tenant shall have the
immediate right to terminate this Lease for cause and without payment
of a termination fee.
(b) With Higher Priority Users. If Tenant's Antenna
Facilities cause impermissible interference with higher priority
users as set forth in Subsection 5(a) above Tenant shall take all
measures necessary to correct and eliminate the interference. If the
interference cannot be eliminated within forty-eight (48) hours after

terminate this Lease immediately without a termination fee being due
from Tenant.

by Landlord that it has a bona fide request from any other party to
lease an area including or in close proximity to the Leased Premises
("Leased Premises Area"), Tenant agrees to provide Landlord, within
sixty (60) days, the radio frequencies currently in operation or to
be operated in the future of each transmitter and receiver installed
and operational on the Leased Premises at the time of such request.
Landlord may then have an independent, registered professional
engineer of Landlord's choosing perform the necessary interference
studies to determine if the new applicant's frequencies will cause
harmful radio interference to Tenant. Landlord shall require the new
applicant to pay for such interference studies, unless the Landlord
or other higher priority user requests the use.
(d) Interference - New Occupants. Landlord agrees that it
will not grant a future lease in the Leased Premises Area to any
party who is of equal or lower priority to Tenant, if such party's
use is reasonably anticipated t �fere with Tenant's operation of
its Antenna Facilities. Land12.14 grees further that any future
I.
lease of the Leased Premises Area will prohibit a user of equal or
lower priority from interfering with Tenant's Antenna Facilities.
Landlord agrees that it will require any subsequent occupants of the
Leased Premises Area of equal or lower priority to Tenant to provide
Tenant these same assurances against interference. Landlord shall
have the obligation to eliminate any interference with the operations
of Tenant caused by such subsequent occupants. If such interference
is not eliminated, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this
Lease for cause without a termination fee or seek injunctive relief
against the interfering occupant, at Tenant's expense.

Dear Mayor Jorgenson:
RF�'���'ED IVIAR 3 1 1S�$
�
I am writing regarding the proposed ri�ht-of-way ordinance that the Fridley City Council will be discussin�
on April 6. I appreciate the opportuniry to convey some of Para�on Cable'.s continued sugaestions
regardin� the potential adoption of this new ordinance. While your staff have made some changes to the
ordinance, we still are concerned about the potential of increased costs of doin� business in the City of
Fridley.
We request a�ain that the city consider exempting our company from paying permit fees, as we are the only.
company in the riaht of way now that pays franchise fees to the ciry of Fridley. The city of Edina has
exempted our company from permit fees in its right of way ordinance for this reason. We continue to be
concerned about added costs to our customers on top of the five per cent fee that they are already paying
and a level playing field with our competitors. We would simply be requesting that the city treat all
companies and their customers in the rights of way fairly and equitably. We aze also concerned about
increased costs of construction and the impact that will have on our business which is now highty
competitive.
We would further suagest that the city maintain its current permit fee structure until city staff can review its
procedures to determine if they are the most effective and efficient. We have indicated our concerns with
your city staff regarding your high fees in compazison to other cities we operate in. Your staff insists that
the city is simply recovering costs, however, we would like to su�gest that procedures be re-examined to
determine if the ciry's costs could we reduced by more efficiently conducting the work. Until the study is
complete, we suggest you freeze your fees and work with your local utility companies and others to attempt
to reduce these hi?her than avera�e costs.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide this information to you and th? Gouncil and look focward to
workin� on these issues in the near future. I will attend the council meetin� on April 6, to restate these
concerns.
Sincere , • �

Dear Councilmembers:
RECEIVED qp� Q � �gg�
�,���
This letter is in response to the City of Fridley's proposed ordinance
regarding "Right-of-Way Management" and "General Provisions and Fees" which
the Council is scheduled to consider �on Monday, April 6. U S WEST has
reviewed the latest draft of the ordinance and has identified the following
concerns.
Chapter 11 "General Provisions and Fees° outlines several fees that the
City of Fridley intends to impose with respect to construction and right-of-way
activities. As the City is undoubtedly aware, Minnesota Statutes Chapter 237
allows the City to recover its "actual costs° incurred in managing its rights of way
including such activities as registering applicants, processing permits, inspecting
job sites and restoration projects. Minn. Stat. § 237.162, subd. 9. Under the
statute, however, right-of-way management costs may not include "payment by
telecommunications right-of-way user for the use of the public right-of-way." In
this regard, U S WEST has two questions regarding the proposed City of Fridley
ordinance.
First, how are the proposed fees included in Chapter 11, Section 11.10
calculated? What information and documentation has the City assembled to
substantiate that the proposed registration fee (407.04), excavation permit fee
(407.07), delayed penalty fee (407.07), and degradation costs (407.111)
represent the City of Fridley's actual cost? To the extent the City will seek,to
impose these fees on U S WEST, U S WEST would like to review the
documentation supporting these fees.
The second issue relates to the "user fee° identified in Ordinance Section
� 407.05. Based on the language contained in Ordinance Section 407.01(3) and
the statutory prohibition contained in Minn. Stat. § 237.162 and identified above,
it is U S WESTs understanding that this user fee will not apply to
telecommunication companies. If this understanding is incorrect, I would
appreciate it if you could notify me immediately.

Dear Mayor Jorgenson,
As the council prepares to consider passage of a Right of Way Ordi.nance this coming
Monday, I want to give yoa a quick update on the progress that has been made, and the
concerns that we feel still need to be addressed, prior to passage.
Since we talked last, John Flora met with all effected utilities to go over the changes he made
to the ordinance, based on Council member comments at the March 16th Council meeting.
Although some revisions were helpful; (requiring only one permit per block, when multiple
service lines aze being installed), there aze still a number of issues that we are extremely
conceraed about.
Given this, we are askng the council giv� serious consideration to
modifying 1he ordinance prior to passage, to address the following concerns:
1) Pennit fees should remain at the current level, until a study is done to determine the
actual costs associated with Fridley's permitting process (section I I.10).
2) User fee language should be eliminated from the ROW ordinance (section 407.05).
Not only aze there real questions as to the lega]ity of the fee, but given telecommunication
companies aze specifically exempt, the city should not place an unfair burden on natural
gas customers.
3) Permit fees should be elirninated for work preformed in State and County roadways
(section 407.07). Given the City has no authority to approve or deny permits in these
roadways. In an effort to accommodate the City's iaformatioa requirements, Minnegasco
will grovide i.nformaxion about the project, and if the City feels it needs to map / uack
infrastructure in non-city roadways, it should be doae at the City's expense, not the
expense of our customers.

4) Cost's associated with movi.ag / supporting existing Minnegasco facilities during work
initiated by the City, sbould be paid for by the city, not Minnegasco (section 407.25).
Staadard cons�uction practices dictate the company initiating the work is responsible for
ins�ing their work does not compromise the i.ntegrity of the other utility systems.
5) The city should not be exempt from having to pay ROW management fees when working
on sewer and water projects (section 407.09). ROW management fees are to be based on
actual cost, regazdless if it is city project or a project initiated by a public utility company
like Minnegasco.
As you can see from the above list, there are stilI a number of issues that need cazeful
consideration (and moclification) prior to passage of this ordinance. Once agtin, thanlc you
and the other Council Members for your thoughtfiil approach on this issue. �'
If you need additional information, or would like to discuss this in greater detail, please don't
hesitate to call.

SUBJECT: Right-of-Way Ordinance Summary - -
As a result of the Council's comments on the right-of-way ordinance at their March 16 meeting, the
following is a summary of the major changes made to the right-of-way ordinance.
A new paragraph was placed on page 12, Section 407.07 as a result of the meeting with the utilities,
allowing the cities to waive fees for emergencies within the city. This addressed their concerns regarding
the number of fees and suspense which would have to be satisfied in the event of a tornado, flood or other
major event.
As a means of clarifying the cost associated with an excavation, I have identified an excavation pernut to
consist of three major parts: the City cost, the excavation and the mapping, as noted on page 14, Section
407.09. In essence this identifies the excavation fee as being $300. Currently, we aze charging $200 for a
utility excavation. In the original draft I had idenrified a total figure of $520.
As a result of the Council's concern, the definition of obstruction was expanded to apply to anything over
8 hours in the right-of-way as noted on page 5, Section 407.02, s and t. I also reduced the cost of an
obstruction permit to just the review and recording for $75 from $240 as noted on page 31.
The mapping fee is sepazately defined within the excavation requirement and a statement has been added
to the ordinance indicating that a mapping fee is not required if the mapping data is provided on disk in GIS
compatible city format. This is noted on page 14, Section 407.10, 3b and page 25, Section 407.21. '
The degradation cost was in error and has been corrected to reflect a$75 per lane foot as compared to �
previously noted $450 on page 31. �
The apparent contradiction and misunderstanding regarding the undergrounding utilities, I believe has been
corrected on page 26, Section 407.22. It now makes it clear that undergrounding only applies to new
construction that is directed by the City Council.
19.01

April 2, 1998
Page 2
The issue regarding franchises specifically establishes supremacy on page 2, Section 407.01 3a. In regard
to exemption of a user fee, this is noted in Section 407.03 2, exempting the payment of user fees if a
franchise fee is paid by a utility. Other fees could be exempt as part of the franchise fee in a negotiation
process if the Council so desires. This type of action would then be covered by the supremacy clause as
noted.
I have met with the utilities regazding these items on March 24. Copies of the revised document have been
mailed to each of the utilities: NSP, Minnegasco, Pazagon and US West. I believe that while I have not
satisfied all of their requests, the document as currently written addressed their issues as well as those of the
City. I believe Pazagon still takes a position that they should be exempt from all fees and treated separately
since they are the only utility paying a franchise fee to the City.
During this same period I have been chairing a City Engineers Association of Minnesota/League task force
on the fee structure. To date we have established the components of the various fees. All of the components
identified are optional items to be considered by cities and in most cases, exceed those items that I have
included in our ordinance. The task force is now developing the estimated time factors for the various
components of the fees. Again, it appears that the times will probably be considerably longer than those that
I have included in my analysis. After the task force action is completed and the information is distributed
by the League, we can address this when the PUC rules become published for a possible revision in 1999.
I believe that at this time the components and rates established are reasonable for what the City is actually
expending in support of the right-of-way permit and inspection process.
As a result of the meetings with the utilities and the task force, I believe that the ordinance submitted to the
Council is a better document than originally developed by the League and properly addresses the municipal
as well as utility issues in overseeing the right-of-way and recoupment of costs associated with that.
Recommend that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance.
Recommend that the City Council approve the summary ordinance to be officially published in the Fridley
Focus.

IN ITS LNTIRSTY, AND ADOPTING A NSi�T CHAPTER 407, BNTITL$D
"RIGHT-OF-�PAY MANAGEM$NT" AND AMBNDING CHAPTLR 11 OF THE
FRIDL�Y CITY CODS� ENTITLSD "GBNSRAL PROVISIONS AND FEB'Sn
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
407.01. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE
1. To provide for the health, safety and well-being of its
citizens, and to ensure the structural integrity of its streets
and the appropriate use of the rights-of-way, the City strives
to keep its rights-of-way in a state of goad repair and free
from unnecessary encumbrances. Although the general population
bears the financial burden for the upkeep of the rights-of-way,
a primary cause for the early and excessive deterioration of its
rights-of-way is frequent excavation.
Right-of-way obstruction is a source of frustration for
merchants, business owners and the general population which must
avoid these obstructions or change travel or shopping plans
because of them and has a detrimental effect on commerce.
Persons whose equipment is within the right-of-way are the
primary cause of these frequent obstructions.
The City holds the rights-of-way within its geographical
boundaries as an asset in trust for its citizens. The City and
other public entities have invested millions of dollars in
public funds to build and maintain the rights-of-way. It also
recognizes that some persons, by placing their equipment in the
right-of-way and charging the citizens of the City for goods and
services delivered thereby, are using this property held for the
public good. Although such services are often necessary or
convenient for the citizens, such persons receive revenue and/or
profit through their use of public property.

2. In response to the
new Chapter of the
and administration,
revisions to othe
foregoing facts, the City hereby enacts this
City Code relating to right-of-way permits
together with � ^�-a�^�^^° making necessary
r Code provisions. This Chapter imposes
19.03
�
�
reasonable regulations on providers of electricity, light, heat,
cooling energy, liquid and gaseous fuels, information and
communication service to the public that place and maintain
facilities or equipment currently within �s the City's rights-
of-way or to be placed therein at some future time. It--is
intended to complement the regulatory roles of state and federal
agencies. Under this Chapter, persons disturbing and
obstructing the rights-of-way will bear a fair share of the
financial responsibility for their integrity. Finally; this
Chapter provides for recovery of out-of-pocket and projected
costs from persons using the public rights-of-way �nd ado8ts the
�tandards develog�d by the Public Utilities Commi Ginn fPUC) on
maximum restorat�on requ�rements 7819 9900 through 7819 9950
3. In addition to the foregoing recovery of costs and regulation of
use, the City Council determines that there is an existing anci
legitimate state and local public policy, which authorizes the
City to require payments as reimbursement or return to the
public for the use value of the public rights-of-way from those
who obtain revenue or profits from such use. This reimbursement
is provided for and defined in this ordinance as the "user fee."
This fee does not apply to the repair, replacement or
reconstruction of an existing facility. Telecommunication
facilities are exempt from a user fee by state statute.
a. Public Interest and Welfare.
The City Council finds that it is in the public interest to
provide for the payment of a user fee by all persons who use and
occupy the right-of-way for operating their businesses. This
provides equity by requiring all users of the right-of-way to pay
compensation apportioned equally among them all for the value and
benefit of using such right-of-way. To ensure such fair
treatment, this Chapter exempts franchise holders which pay
franchise fees to the City on the date of adoption of this
Chapter from the payment of a user fee.
b. Legislative Power.
In these situations, the City .Council desires to exercise its

this authority shall comply with PUC standards for Right-of-Way
Restoration and shall further be guided by the following
considerations:
a. The number, size, depth and duration of the excavations,
disruptions or damage to the Right-of-Way;
b. The traffic volume carried by the Right-of-Way; the
character of the neighborhood surrounding the Right-of-Way; -
� c. The pre-excavation condition of the .Right-of-Way; the
remaining life-expectancy of the Right-of-Way affected by
the excavation;
d. Whether the relative cost of the method of restoration to
the Permittee is in reasonable balance with the prevention
of an accelerated depreciation of the right-of-way that
would otherwise result from the excavation, disturbance or
damage to the Right-of-Way; and
e. The likelihood that the particular method of restoration
would be effective in slowing the depreciation of the Right-
of-Way that would otherwise take place.
4. Guarantees.
By choosing to Restore the Right-of-Way itself, the Permittee
guarantees its work and shall maintain it for twenty-four (24) months
following its completion. During this 24-month period it shall, upon

of the notice from the Director, not including days during which work
cannot be done because of circumstances constituting force majeure or
days when work is prohibited as unseasonal or unreasonable under
Section 407.14.
5. Obligation.
Construction triggers an obligation of the right-of-way user that the
right-of-way restoration be completed according to the conditions set
forth in this Chapter. The right-of-way user arso assumes
19.18
16
responsibility for "as built" drawings and for repairing faciIities or
structures, including right-of-way that was damaged during facility
installation. The obligation is limited to one year for plantings and
turf establishment.

to the condition required by the Director, or fails to satisfactorily
and timely complete all Restoration required by the Director, the
Director at its option may do such work. In that event the Permittee
shall pay to the City, within thirty (30) days of billing, the cost of
Restoring the Right-of-Way. If Permittee fails to pay as required,
the City may exercise its rights under the Construction Performance
Bond.
7. Degradation Cost in Lieu of Restoration.
In lieu of Right-of-Way Restoration, a Right-of-Way user may elect to
pay a Degradation Fee with the approval of the Director. However, the
Right-of-Way User shall remain responsible for Patching and the
Degradation Fee shall not include the cost to accomplish these
responsibilities.

ORDINANCE Stir1�Il�1ARy
ORDINANCE NO. _ OFFICIAL TITLE AND SUNIl�IARY
I. Title: An Ordinance Repealing Chapter 407 of the Fridley City Code in its Entirety and Adopting a New
Chapter 407 Entitled "Right-of-way Management" and Amending Chapter 11 of the Fridley City Code Entitled
General Provision and Fees.
II. Summary. The City Council of the City of Fridley does hereby ordain as follows:
The ordinance implements the 1997 Minnesota Legislative law contained in Chapter 123 �regarding the
management of the public rights-of-way. The purpose of the ordinance is to outline the registration and
permitting requirements as well as coordinating projects providing forrecording and mapping of utilities placed
within the public rights-of-way and identifying those conditions associated with restoring the rights-of-way.
The ordinance holds the rights-of-way within the geographic boundaries of the city as an asset and trust for its
citizens. The city and other public entities have invested millions of dollars in public funds to build and
maintain the rights-of-way. It also recognizes that some persons by placing their equipment in the rights-of-way
and charging the citizens of the city for goods and services delivered thereby are using this property held for
