FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 3, 2002 PAGE 2 Mr. Carter Hendricks thanked Council for supporting this event. On Saturday, June 15 at 4:00 p.m. at the parking lot of Columbia Arena, organizations from the Fridley area will be setting up free games and activities for kids and families. He said that this was a way to help families understand what resources are available to help them. Patriotic Pride City- �de Day - June 16, 2002 Mayor Lund stated that this is the proper time to pay special tribute to all of our servicemen/women for all they have done and continue to do in order to keep us safe and secure and to keep our country free.

The $3.00 button helps fund the programs. LEGISLATIVE UPDATE: Senator pon Betzold stated that the session started on January 29, 2002. They knew going in there were serious problems because of the deficit. Many discussions were held on the bonding bill, anti-terrorism initiatives, and the redrawing of legislative districts. The House adjourned at 6:00 a.m. on Sunday, May 19, and the Senate came back on Monday for ceremonial farewells. Senator Betzold stated that the budget deficit took center stage. The Governor laid out proposals and released his budget. The Governor would have liked to balance the budget for the biennium and would have done so by proposing sales taxes on schools, attorneys fees, car repairs, and by cutting aid to local governments. He did not believe there would have been much support for this plan. The House and Senate pulled together a balancing plan that did pass. Some TIF grant money from last session was eliminated. The Governor vetoed the budget plan. There were not any easier solutions. Senator Betzold stated that the House said no tax increases and the Senate stated no more spending cuts. Capital projects were refinanced and they did whatever they could, but local government aid was not cut, school funding was not cut, and nursing home funding was not cut. The Governor may release the ne�t forecast earlier, which may force him to pull money out of programs like LGA or call a Special Session. The sparkler bill was passed. Employers will have to pay compensation or give time off to volunteer firefighters. The ban on phosphorus fertilizer in the metropolitan area passed. Liquor stores have to keep a record of kegs sold. Not much time was spent on the stadium bill. Northstar Corridor did not receive funding and the transportation funding bill did not pass. The Senate passed a bill to allow local governments to appoint more election judges. The wine in the grocery store bill did not pass, nor did the conceal and carry bill. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 3, 2002 PAGE 3 Senator Satveer Chaudhary stated that he serves on the transportation, education, and crime committees. He said there was a bill that sought to give levy relief to the Fridley Community Education building. The House did not even pass an education bill this session. Levy increases, even the ones that did not cost anything, were not accepted by the House. It was an impossible task to garner anything for education. There was an increase in the crime levy passed for schools, but nothing in terms of the State owning up to its eighty percent (80%) share of education funding. Instead, they will rely more on property tax increases. The Senate passed a slight increase for education by increasing the cigarette tax and delaying business property tax cuts that were passed last session. None of those passed the House of Representatives though. No comprehensive transportation package was passed. Senator Chaudhary stated that the House, which opposed the gas tax, actually made a proposal to increase the gas tax by three cents. The anti-terrorism bill passed. The Senate passed a 911 surcharge that funded emergency services that funded an increase in hazardous material teams that were cut last session to one team. The 800 megahertz radio program also funded by the 911 surcharge did not pass. That was important to law enforcement. The Crimnet system we are trying to make comprehensive would have allowed law enforcement throughout the State of Minnesota and the Federal Government to access crime records seamlessly. That did not pass. The budget bill charged a surcharge on nursing home patients and did not reopen any schools. A mere inflationary increase for schools ne�t year will cost $500,000,000. That is assuming a four percent (4%) rate of growth in the fourth quarter of 2002. There is concern of our credit rating in the future because we do not have the solid budget reserve. Representative Barb Goodwin stated that they worked hard on the Northstar Corridor along with area city councils. The big roadblock was in the House. Eight or ten members compared it with light rail, which is different, and it was caught up in gubernatorial politics. Representative Tim Pawlenty and his opponent are running for Governor, so they opposed any kind of rail. No cuts were made to local government aid and home and agricultural credit to keep property taxes stable. The $13,000,000 appropriated for anti-terrorism will go to local police officers. Springbrook Nature Center received funding thanks to Representative Bernardy. They ended up cutting $28,000,000 in State agency consultants as well as putting a moratorium on new consultants. That will preserve more important areas of the budget. Representative Connie Bernardy stated that there are no reserves left to fill the hole of the deficit ne�t year. There could be more damaging cuts to the schools after the election ne�t year, and also to local government. School districts usually find out in June or May how much money they will get for the upcoming school year. We need to stabilize the budget so ne�t year the school can project how much they can get. Inflationary increases were not even planned in the budget. The Senate did get an inflationary increase plan for education but unfortunately this did not pass the House of Representatives. A telemarketing "Do Not Call" bill passed, which will help protect citizens, especially seniors. A bio-diesel bill was put into place and hopefully will reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Venison processing will no longer be taxed. Council support is appreciated in the ban on the phosphorus fertilizer. Springbrook Nature Center was able to get funding to help restore the wetlands. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 3, 2002 PAGE 4 Representative Bernardy stated that for 2003 they need to look at balancing the budget, college costs, school funding, transit, and commuter rail funding. Mayor Lund thanked them for coming. Councilmember Wolfe stated that he does not understand why money was spent on the Guthrie Theatre when there is not enough for education. This is taxpayers' money. Representative Bernardy stated that one thing they could have worked on is deferred maintenance for schools. They tried, but did not receive support. The Guthrie had donors for a large part of the cost. The operating dollars the school district gets are only enough to pay for a half-time janitor at the middle school. Councilmember Wolfe stated that he has nothing against the arts, but our children are the future. You choose to go to the theatre, but children have to go to school. Senator Betzold stated that they are not choosing the Guthrie over education. The Guthrie is issued with state bonds and capital improvement projects. An education system is required, and takes up a lot of the budget. For K-12 and higher education, we are looking at half of the State's budget if not more. Education funding formulas are complex. Governor Carlson came down hard on education and even limited keeping education up with the cost of inflation. The damage was done last year by shifting the cost off of property taxes and putting them into the State economy. Senator Chaudhary stated that last year the arts got more than education because not enough people wanted to put more money into the education portion of the budget. That does not sound right at all, and there were people there (including Fridley's legislators) fighting to put more into the education pot. That is why they went an extra month in the legislative session last year. Some members of the legislature were holding out for the schools. There is not enough people in the legislature who will give even an inflationary increase to public schools. Councilmember Wolfe stated there should be a list of who voted for the arts and who did not. Senator Chaudhary stated that everyone should ask their representatives how much more they are willing to put into K throughl2 education as opposed to other items. Representative Goodwin stated that the chairs of each of the committees decide what they will do with their piece of the pie. They need to focus more on priorities and get rid of unnecessary things. Ne�t year there will be a huge turnover of leadership in the House and the Senate. She said that forty percent (40%) of the budget goes to K through 12. Councilmember Barnette thanked them for the update. He asked what the chances were of Governor Ventura calling a special session. Senator Betzold stated that he would only call it for an emergency or issue. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 3, 2002 PAGE 5 Councilmember Bolkcom thanked Representative Bernardy for her hard work on the water quality issue that is on the agenda. Representative Bernardy stated that was federal dollars allocated for the State of Minnesota. It was her pleasure to work on this committee.

FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 3, 2002 PAGE 7 NEW BUSINESS: 7. CONSIDERATION OF AN APPEAL OF A DECISION BY THE CITY OF FRIDLEY'S HEARING EXAMINER FOR TOBACCO COMPLIANCE VIOLATIONS: Mr. Sallman, Public Safety Director, stated that he has reviewed the decision and findings of fact by the Hearing Officer made on April 17 concerning the sale of cigarette products at the Billiard Street Cafe. On March 19, the Police Department conducted a compliance check on tobacco licenses in Fridley. Two females, aged 15 and 16, visited 34 businesses and tried to buy tobacco. Only 2 failed and sold cigarettes to them. One is the Billiard Street Cafe. The proprietor, Greg Asproth, asked for a hearing with Hearing Examiner, Attorney James Hoeft. Mr. Hoeft's ruling was that the ordinance had been violated and a$500 fine was imposed. Mr. Asproth has already paid the $250 penalty for the employee. Mr. Asproth requested an appeal before the City Council as provided for in the ordinance. The appeal was supposed to be held the first Council meeting after the hearing, but Mr. Asproth requested that the appeal hearing be held on June 3, 2001. There is no question that the employee did sell cigarettes to the underage females. Councilmember Bolkcom asked how Mr. Asproth was notified of the appeal. Mr. Sallman stated that it was by letter. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that Mr. Asproth is not present at the meeting tonight and asked what Council needs to do. Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated that there are three options pursuant to the City's ordinance. Council is to review the decisions and findings of fact within the Hearing Examiner's report. Council shall affirm, repeal or modify the decision. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if Council should not act on this since Mr. Asproth is not present at the meeting he requested for tonight. Mr. Knaak stated that the request for the review puts into motion the process of review. At the review, regardless of whether he is present or not, Council must do one of the three options. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if it can be done the same evening that the appeal is discussed. Mr. Knaak stated that he does not believe it is contemplated under the language of the ordinance. Ordinarily he would say yes. Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Sallman if there had been any conversation with Mr. Asproth stating he would not be here. Mr. Sallman stated that he has not been in contact with Mr. Asproth. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 3, 2002 PAGE 8 Mayor Lund stated that this review is for information presented at the hearing, it is not necessarily for new information. Mr. Knaak stated that the hearing was conducted before the Hearing Examiner and a decision would be made based on the record contained in the Hearing Examiner's report. MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to confirm the decision and findings of fact by the Hearing Examiner. Seconded by Councilmember Billings. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 8. MOTION TO APPROVE THE SPRINGBROOK WATERSHED IMPLEMENTA- TION PROJECT WORK PLAN AND AUTHORIZE STAFF TO PROCEED WITH THE PROJECT: Mr. Hickok, Community Development Director, stated that the work plan was prepared in compliance with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's outline and lays out the project very well. The Springbrook project is a systematic plan to restore the wetlands in the Springbrook Nature Center in Fridley to reduce the amount of storm water coming into the Nature Center. This involves the participation of Blaine, Coon Rapids, and Spring Lake Park The four cities together are contributing $298,649, and the MPCA is contributing $200,669. Representative Connie Bernardy was a key player in making this money available and we thank her. The Metropolitan Council is also contributing $88,807, the McKnight Foundation is contributing $75,000, 1VINRRA is contributing $6,574, and the Six Cities Watershed Management Organization is contributing $6,400. A number of other groups are contributing in-kind contributions. Mr. Hickok stated that the money will be used by drawing down the wetland, building structures to infiltrate storm water, stabilizing streams that flow into the park, and developing a plan to maintain the system. If necessary, seeds and plants will be planted in the wetland and, if feasible, the Coon Rapids storm water pond system will be expanded. Fridley's contribution is $25,828. If the second phase is included it will be $48,106. In-kind contributions are $56,222. This is more likely a six-year project as opposed to a three-year project. The in-kind contributions will probably amount to $90,022. The ne�t step is to obtain all four cities' approval of the work plan, the Advisory Commission's approval and the MPCA's approval. A motion from the Council to move ahead with the project is requested so Ms. Jones can attend the Council meetings of the other cities and get the program approved. Councilmember Barnette stated that Ms. Jones has done a good job with this project. In the work plan, the main boardwalk and eventual construction of two bridges is talked about. It indicates that cities will complete as much of the structural work as possible. He asked if the City of Fridley would be responsible. He asked what costs were paid by the grants. He also asked if the DNR had any leverage on the City. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 3, 2002 PAGE 9 Mr. Hickok stated that Jon Haukaas has been an excellent resource for the Advisory Committee. He indicated that boardwalks are covered in the cost of the overall budget for the project. The $16,000 for Part A and Part B are real costs and recognized by technical experts as dollars it would take to do these pieces and are in the budget. We have dedicated real and in-kind dollars to this project. Councilmember Barnette asked who "we" specifically was. Mr. Hickok stated that it is the Council and the four cities. He said that Ms. Jones' costs for administration covers the six-year project, and the $90,000 in in-kind contributions are real salary dollars spent for her salary as part of her regular salary. With respect to the monitoring, certain parts would be too expensive for consultants, but we have a working relationship with the Anoka County Conservation District, and the monitoring is something we could do locally and more economically. Mr. Haukaas, Public Works Director, stated that in regards to the temporary monitoring system, that is something that had been used in the past through another grant program. The Anoka County Conservation District is a partner and this would be part of their in-kind contribution and is identified as part of the project. Councilmember Barnette stated that Fridley is allocating $25,000 plus for Plan B and $56,000 later on. Mr. Hickok stated that is correct and the figures will be shown on the work plan how the overall dollars are broken into project elements. Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that there is $16,000 budgeted over three years out of the Capital Improvements Fund. The rest is in-kind contributions. The actual cash outlay is $48,000 spread over three years. That is the City contribution. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that we hired consultants to help figure all this out and whether we do the boardwalk or not will affect the cost in Part B. This is a huge complex problem, but we need the consultants to tell us exactly what we need to do. Councilmember Barnette asked what leverage the DNR has on local cities. What if the water quality improves after this project ten percent (10%) and the DNR says it is not good enough? They would tell Fridley to fix it. Mr. Hickok stated that each of the four communities are held responsible for the quantities of water that go from one city to the ne�t. The DNR has a great influence on how we manage that. Working together is the right way to do this and let them see the magnitude of the project. Mr. Burns stated that the MPCA monitors storm water discharge. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 3, 2002 PAGE 10 Mr. Haukaas stated that was correct and storm water management issues lately came from mandates from the federal level. That has been our number one complaint about the new NPDES rules. In Minnesota it is handled by the MPCA. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that it is good that the MPCA is involved in the project from the beginning. Councilmember Wolfe asked if the DNR could say to the cities north that they are creating the problem for the Fridley water, and they need to help clean it up. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that they are doing this because there is tax money involved and we are getting money from the MPCA. Councilmember Wolfe stated that he thinks it is beautiful the other cities are involved, but can the other cities alternate with helping in the future. Mr. Hickok stated that the goal is to correct those things without having the end result of it not working and going back to correct things. This is the best way we know of to involve all the agencies and do it right. Councilmember Wolfe asked if when this is all done, will the City of Fridley be the only one to maintain this. Mr. Hickok stated that there is going to potentially be areas to be fixed in each of the communities along the watershed. Ongoing maintenance will be expected on a holding pond, for example. They recognize there will be future maintenance and it will be picked up by local jurisdictions. Mr. Haukaas stated that reducing storm water flowing into the Nature Center is one of the goals. Hopefully this will reduce what we would have to do in the future. This probably is not any different than what we would have had to do anyway. Councilmember Wolfe stated that he wanted to make clear that in the last meeting he stated that he has no problem with the Nature Center, only with the water. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that education of our residents is important as to how we fertilize our lawns and other things that affect water quality. Councilmember Barnette stated that the holding pond that is across from Red Lobster never has any water in it. Mr. Haukaas stated it is in Spring Lake Park and was constructed as part of the Metro Bus Station expansion serving that small portion of the Northtown area. It is in the engineering study area and there may be changes made to it. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 3, 2002 PAGE 11 MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to approve the Springbrook Watershed Implementation Project Work Plan and authorize staff to proceed with the project. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette. UPON A VOICE VOTE, COUNCILMEMBER BOLKCOM, COUNCILMEMBER WOLFE, COUNCILMEMBER BARNETTE, AND MAYOR LUND VOTING AYE, AND COUNCILMEMBER BILLINGS ABSTAINING, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED. 9. APPROVE AMENDMENT AND EXTENSION OF MISSISSIPPI NATIONAL RIVER AND RECREATION AREA (MNRRA) LOCAL FUNDING ASSISTANCE FUNDING AGREEMENT: Mr. Hickok, Community Development Director, stated that the City received a$10,000 Mississippi National River and Recreation Area Local Funding Assistance grant. The amount of $6,574 was left unused. Staff requested an e�tension and reallocation of the remaining funds and received permission to use the unspent grant funds on the Springbrook Watershed project. Staff recommended Council's approval. MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to approve the Amendment and E�tension of Mississippi National River and Recreation Area (MNRRA) Local Funding Assistance Funding Agreement. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette. UPON A VOICE VOTE, COUNCILMEMBER BOLKCOM, COUNCILMEMBER BARNETTE, AND MAYOR LUND VOTING AYE, COUNCILMEMBER WOLFE AND COUNCILMEMBER BILLINGS ABSTAINING, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED. 10. APPROVE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF FRIDLEY AND WSB & ASSOCIATES, INC., FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES RELATED TO THE SPRINGBROOK WATERSHED PHASE II IMPLEMENTA- TION PROJECT: Mr. Hickok, Community Development Director, stated that a consultant is needed in this project because none of the cities involved have engineers on staff that are trained to design and analyze options for storm water management of this complexity, or can be solely designated to this task. The WSB contract of $46,558 is not the cheapest, but has more hours for the project with more qualified staff. The whole subwatershed will be reviewed in their contract. They had the most experience and seem to be budget conscious and can assist with Phase 2 of the project. Their proposed fee is in within the budget. Staff recommended approval of an amount not to exceed $46,560. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that it is a huge accomplishment for WSB to have experience on 16 other similar projects. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 3, 2002 PAGE 12 MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to approve the contract between WSB and Associates, Inc., for engineering services related to the Springbrook Watershed Phase II Implementation Project. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette. UPON A VOICE VOTE, COUNCILMEMBER BOLKCOM, COUNCILMEMBER BARNETTE AND MAYOR LUND VOTING AYE, COUNCILMEMBER WOLFE AND COUNCILMEMBER BILLINGS ABSTAINING, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED. 1 L INFORMAL STATUS REPORTS: Mr. Burns, City Manager, asked Mr. Haukaas to explain the floating pier. Mr. Haukaas, Public Works Director, stated that one year ago the City applied for a DNR grant for the fishing pier at Moore Lake and during the ne�t few days, it will be installed. The old pier still functions and is useful also. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that after the meeting she would like to discuss the Redeemer Lutheran Church parking issue and discuss driveway and other improvements on that street. Councilmember Wolfe stated he would like to thank the Chamber of Commerce for the wonderful job they did on the recent golf tournament. Councilmember Bolkcom thanked Councilmember Barnette, Jack Kirk, and Dave Kondrick for being part of a video with her on Parks and Recreation issues. Mayor Lund stated that all are encouraged to participate in the City's `49er Days celebration. ADJOURN: MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to adjourn the meeting. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom.
