From: Dave Sallman �
Date: November 13, 1998
Re: Human Resource Commission
In preparation for the City Council work session on November 16�`, the Human Resources
Commission (HRC) have prepared the attached information concerning the incorporation
of youth into the HRC. In addition to the youth issue, there is a concern that two of the
commissioners (Satveer Chaudhary and Jeanne Raffesberger) need to be replaced on the
HRC. There appears to be a constant conflict between their schedules (due to legislative
activity, etc.) and the HRC meetings. There is a need expressed by the other members
that we need to have a full participating commission in order to be effective. The issue of
membership will also be raised on November 16�'.
Attached is a draft motion establishing a youth commission and the rules by which it
would operate. This was prepared by reviewing a similar document from the Cities of
Columbia Heights and Plymouth. There are some issues on which the HR� would desire
Council feedback. I have listed them below for the Council's review prior to the session.
-The first issue is a concern. The City is going to have to be careful in which
issues are provided to the "Youth Commission". If their actions are continually denied, it
will not be successful. Some of this issue can be resolved by staff involvement (i.e. make
sure that the "Youth Commission" (YC) understands that they cannot change State and
Federal laws such as legalizing smoking, drinking of alcoholic beverages, etc.). These may
be extreme examples but the members need to understand what their role is when they are
requested to review an issue.
-Commission/sub-commission-It was previously indicated that this would be
component of the HRC. The HRC supports that concept. The advantage would be that
at least one HRC member could attend the YC meetings and that the chair of the YC
could attend HRC meetings. This would provide an opportunity for mentoring in addition
to the staff liaison to the YC.
-Staff Liaison- There was complete concurrence that the Public Safety Director
(PSD) would be the worse possible choic� for staff liaison to the YC. The PSD strongly
supports a representative from the Recreation Department. This is an issue that may have
to be battled out between departments.
-Selection and qualifications of YC members. The HRC is in favor being able to
conduct recruiting, providing applications, screening and making recommendations to the
City Council for �appointment. There is a recognized desire to have a broad representation
of youth on the commission. There is also some need to have some minimal qualifications.
For example, it is not believed that someone with a serious crime in their history would
represent the best choice for this commission. There are laws governing the release of
certain data on juveniles so there may be a need for a recommendation from the police
department as opposed to providing the criminal history to the HRC/ City Council.
Guidelines can be established to govern that recommendation as to what is considered to
be disqualifying offense.
-The HRC is recommending that the selection process occur in first part of 1999
with the YC being named in April of 1999. The intent would be to have at least one
organizational meeting in May and then deciding if the commission would meet during the
summer or not.
These are some of the issues that the HRC would like to provide to the City Council on
November 16`� and have been provided in advance for Council review.

SUBJECT: INFORMATION RELATED TO THE DISCUSSION
ON A LIQUOR STORE LOCATED WITHIN THE HOLIDAY
BUILDING
DATE: November 12,1998
Attached you will find a projection that is showing an estimate of the type of net income that
rnight be expected from the location within the Holiday Building. We have incorporated the
sales numbers that Mangen Reseazch Associates, Inc., has provided to us. Their report indicated
that a well marketed and well stocked store could yield annual sales of $4,790,000. Their results
allowed for a 10% error factor running on both sides of that number. We incorporated that error
margin by identifying on the proforma, scenarios of: "Likely", "10% Less", and "10% More".
We have been working with KKE Architects and a project cost estimator in an attempt to put a
handle on what we could expect for a lease hold improvement cost. At this point, the number we
have is a very, very rough number but is intentionally set high. We have some very important
questions that still need to be answered by Holiday Properties before we can finalize HVAC,
lighting, electrical, and fire protection. The number that we are using for leasehold
improvements is $800,000. This number is being depreciated over a 10-year period, which is a
fairly fast write off period. The lease cost is at a total square foot cost of $11.67. This includes
the CAM charge, but we are still trying to find out if any improvements are done to the exterior
of the building and parking lot how that will impact our lease cost.
The attached proforma indicates that at a low end we could expect an annual income of $322,182
and approximately a 2'/2 year payback on our investment. On the high end of the projections we
could expect an annual income of $513,782.49 or approximately a 1%Z year payback.
At this point we are continuing to refine the numbers in the proforma and are asking to use KKE
to develop plans and specifications, in order to finalize the numbers in the attached proforma and
proceed forward with the Liquor Store.

Snowplowing Information
Steve Billings asked for information on surveys that were conducted in 1987 and 1989 to determine
the number of vehicles parked on City streets during the winter months.
John Flora has put together some materials that relate to problems with snowplowing from
December, 1995, to October, 1986. The information is designed to help in our discussion of policy
changes that may relate to the handling of vehicles on City streets during the winter months.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

SUBJECT: Snowplowing Contractors
PW95-349
We continue to experience problems with private snowplowers pushing snow into the
street after we have cleared an area, resulting in large wind rows and piles of snow in the
traveled way. This action results in an unsafe condition for motorists as well as a problem
for the City. After the piles have hardened and a pass is made during the next snow
event, possible damage could result to our equipment and operators.
As a means of controlling this problem and being able to (1) educate the snowplow
operators and (2) be able to contact an individual who has violated our policies, it would
be appropriate to initiate a snowplow contractors license. As Paul indicates in the
attached memorandum, a license will allow us to provide each operator with a list of dos
and don'ts as well as being able to coordinate and contact the individual operators if there
are any problems with their snowplowing operations.
It is my recommendation that the Council consider initiating a snowplow contractors
license for the 1996-97 winter season. If the Council supports this action, we could
prepare the necessary ordinance and mailings this spring so that a system could be in
operation for next winter. �

MEMORAN�UM
TO: John G. Flora, Director o�Public Works
FROM: Paul Lawrence, Superintendent of Public Works
DATE: December 14, 1995
SUBTECT: Snowplowing Contractors
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many of the private snow plowing contractors are pushing snow from private parldng areas onto City
streets and boulevards. Snow disposed of in this manner narrows the streets and is hard on City
equipment because of the larg� piles of snow. City staff has discussed the problem with operators
caught in the act with limited cooperation from the contractor, but most have completed their work
before the problem is noticed.
It would be helpful if snow plowing contractors had to be licensed to work in the City like other
contractors. Licensing snow plowing contractors would allow the City to advise contractors not to
place snow in the street when the license is issued and revoke the license of those who violate the
regulations. The license fee could even be at no cost as the goal is to inform the snov� plow
contractors of the City's regulations regarding snow plowing and control those who continue to
create snow removal problems.

Snow Parking Ban
PW91-373
�
�� ��
At the Council meeting of December 2, 1991, an issue was raised at
the Open Forum regarding the banning of parking on City streets
during the winter snow plowing periods.
The City staff had looked into this issue extensively in 1986 and
1987. Attached is some correspondence regarding this issue that
was developed during this time. �
In an attempt to determine the impact of a"no parking" ban, we
conducted two inventories of vehicl�s parked on the streets in June
of 1987 and in January of 1989.
We determined that the valid vehicles were those that did not have
adequate parking on their pr�pzrty. Invalid vehicles were those
that could �=�� pa�iczd off the street in driveways or garages. As
� �esult of the survey, we found that there were only a few
residents that were impacted by the ban and if the ban was
initiated, possibly those individuals could find a source of
parking off-street which would further reduce the numbers.
The Public Works Department supports the winter "no parking" ban
and if the Council desires, we can institute an ordinance change
to adopt this policy.

Last fall, PuYalic Works had .proposed an ordinanoe which precluded the parking
of vehicles on the City streets during the period Novenber through May.
Based upon the Co�cil's suggestions, it was deferred and a public meeting
was held sponsored by the League � Women Voters this past spring. At that
meeting, it was svggested that an inventory of violators by made to determine
the ordinance im�ct on the City. Tfie inventory was accomplished this
s�amner. 2he inventory indicated the single family residential awners
prwided the largest n�mber of viQlations. AS a result, it was determined to
table the ordinance change and focus on the enforvement of our existing oode.
ChaFter 506 of our City Coc3e indicates that vehic�es can be ticketed and/or
tawed if �they are parked on the street during the periods Novenber through
May if they impede the glaaing and/or rema�al � szc�. .
tii*_h ±}:� ���.,xi�cenL ot the Carrimimity Servioe Officers and tiie increase in
�iformed Police, it would be advantageous to strictly enforce the parking
code in a City-wide ooverage during the first few major snow events as a
means of reinforcing,to the residents the snawbird ordir�nce. �
.
Re�mnend the Pnlive Department implenent a City-wide enforoement program of
the C�aFter 506 vehicle parking code cliring the first few snow events after
Pluvenber 1 of this year.

Councilman Fitzpatrick, Steve Billings, Dave Kondrick, and Public Safety
Director Jim Hi11. Speakers included Brian Schafter, Zoning Specialist from
Blaine; Sc�t. Purdy from New Brighton; Fred Salisbury, Director of Public Works
fram Colunbia Heights, and myself. Notice of �e meeting was made on the Civic
Center Bulletin Board, Fbcus newspaper, and special mailings to aaner/operators

the a�rtment �mplexes.
�e proposed Code d�ange was to estatzlish "No Parking" during the period of 2:00
am to 6:00 am, rovember lst to ray lst. �he neighboring cities all have a
similar ordir�nce.
�:rir.� �:? :�-�!-; �, the Fo? l:�ing issues were raised:
1. Provide aFartment oamglexes with some sort of exception policy after all
other opp�rt�mities to provide off-street Farking are exhausted.
2.
3.
Bring the aprtment oomglexes up to Code for Farking purposes.
Schedule snawplawing of apartrnent areas to after 8:00 am.

8. Puhlic Works or G S.0. personnel issue garking tickets to auynent pol ice
fbrce.
9. Only glaw or�e side of .the street on alterr�te days.
�he Cotmcil had suggested this item be brouc�t befote then at the seoond meeting
in April. Based upon the issues raised at the public meeting, I would reoomnend
that staff review the proposed Code change and that the City j�Council provide
some guidance on the issues raised regarding this change. •

SUBJECT: City Wide "No Parking" Ban for Srx7w Rencv�l
Last fall, we discussed a"No Parking" ordinance chanoe that would ban
�arking on City streets fran Navenber lst until April lst f ran 2: 00 a. m.
until 6:00 a.m. 7his recommendation was sutxnitted to improve our snow
r enaval activi ti es and r educe w st.
�his winter was not a typical t�innesotd ��inter to analyze the parking
prolalen (Snawbirds) or. Fridley Streets that the Public Works cr�ws have
«���}er� in ;he grior three winters. Although, on Noveqnber 20, 1986
(the first declared snc�w �n�rc'ency of this winter) , almost 200 vehicles
were tagged and 2 vehicles were tawec3 durir_g cleanup operations. The
previous winter of 15&5-1986, 459 vehicles were tagved arx3 23 vehicles were
taaec3�. Over 90 percent of � the tagging takes glace during the initial snaw
remwal operations. The renaining 10 percent are tagged prior to the
cleanUp operations. Parked vehicles on the streets �aa the initial snow
removal ogeration ann cause snow to re lef t in the streets �ntil the
cleanup operatic�ns L^egin resulting in reduoed traveled ways, obstructions
to vehicles, pedestrians and eqnergency �uipnent and increased snow renaval
costs. Zhe street renains snaw-covered in those spots until the cleanup is
oomgleted which coul� be a oonsiderakal.e amount of time.
Zhe cleanup operations t�,ecome very expensive. Many times, it requi res
cvertime lab�r hours wi�h additional equipnent and fuel costs to complete
the cleanup. In the Fast winters, we have estimated cleanup operations
costs to range between $2,000.00 to $4,000.00 per starm depending on the
snaafall ar.ounts. If vehicles were not Farked on the streets during the
snow plowing operations, the oompletion time would be shorter, less
expensive and result in impraved public acceptance.
Implanentation of a Farking ban from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. during the
�vinter months would allow all residents to r�nove their cars from the
streets without having to ceci6e if it wi11 snaw at night, if the streets
will be pl.aaed or receive a Farking and/or taaing citation. It will also
allow the Publ ic Works crews to open the E�nergency routes faster and
initiate full snaw ranaval operations in a more responsive manner.
hlany cities have ado�ted
enhance and imprave the
operation. Attached is

: . .�•,
I have �ntacted a nunber of cities in this area oonoerning a"NO PARKING"
ordinanoe on all City streets for srvow ranwal operations. Many cities are
adopting the ban ciuring the winter months of Novenber 1 until April 1, fr4a
2:00 a.m. �ntil 6:00 a.m. Zhe Public Works Personnel in those cities are
oonvinced that the "NO PARIQNG" ban�has greatly imFraved the snaw renoving
operations. Parked cars (snawb�irds) slow the operation down more than any
single obstacle for i�rwing the operation. Our current ordinance states
"NO P1�RF�VG after 2-ind�es of sr�ow" is difficult to enforce because many
times residents are not aware that the snaw emergency has been declared.
with the parking ban in effect during the winter months f ran 2:00 a. m. to
6:00 a.m will result in safer streets for the public and enhance safety
condi tions f or the Ci ty crews while sryow plaw ing. As i t will al so i mpr ov e

ACTION� INF
In reviewing and analyzing the snow removal policies and procedures for the 58+
inches of snow for the 1985-1986 winter season, I feel they worked out fairly
well. The first snow that required plowing was on iJovember llth,. a snowfall of
3 inches. The last snowfall Qf 7.6 inches occurred on March 13th. The largest
sno�a emergency the department encountered was over the Thanksgiving holiday,
an accwnulation of 21.5 inches; and removal was accomplished with a r�inimal
amount of complaints.
Before the season began, it was pointed out that there were two areas of con-
cern that needed improving, One was a quicker response to cul-de-sac plowing
and second to remove snow sooner in our industrial areas, located in plowing
districts �2 and #4, before vehicles pack the snow and park on tlie streets.
As I stated last year, with the added snow removal responsibilities at the
enlarged Civic Center parking lot and the Liquor Warehouse parking lot two
years ago, cul-de-sac snow removal suffered a slower response time. To help
alleviate this problem for the upcoming winter, we have added two more pieces
of equipment with operators. This consisted of installing a snow bucket on
a Parks Department tractor, and adding one more 3/4 ton, 4x4 pic truck
with a reversible v-plow to the cul-de-sac snow removal equipment� Iiopefully,
this addition should help increase the response times for plowing the cul-
de-sacs and help eliminate many complaints.
To provide better snowplowing in our industrial areas, a private contractor
was hired who furnished a grader equipped with a plow and wing. The con-
tractor was called out each time the City's equipment was called out to plow
snow. I feel that we accomplished this task fairly well, but it does need
some improving in the area of their work habits in cleaning snow to equal
the quality of our City staff. This work was estimated at a cost of $7,345.
They were used on 8 occasions at a cost.of $4,610.50, or $2,734.50 under the
estimate.
Other than adding equipment and one years experience witli�the private con-
tractor working with us, I see no major change in our procedure for the
x
�
Snow Removal Policies and Procedures
Page 2
1986-1987 snowplowing season.
In reviewing these procedures, I feel there could be improvement in the area
of cars parked on City streets during our snowplowing operation. Over the
years, this has been a problem for us as snow removers and the Police as
enforcers of our snowplowing ordinance as it now stands. Our nei�hbor-
ing correnunities have experienced the same problem too, but over the last
few years have passed a seasonal "No Parking" ban of any vehicles on City
streets between the hours of 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. (See attached study.)
t�lith an ordinance such as this, we could irrg�rove our plowing time between
1/2 to 1 hour on the initial plowing day and 3 to 4 hours cleanup time spent
on the following work day. This new parking ban would improve the appear-
ance, safety and rideability of our City streets.
