PUBLIC HEARING:
12. CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 214 OF THE
FRIDLEY CITY CODE PERTAI1vING TO AUTOMATIC CHANGEABLE
SIGNS.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to open the public hearing. Seconded by
Councilmember Wolfe.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 7:42 P.M.
Mr. Hickok, Community Development Director, stated that due to a recent court ruling in which
a portion of the Fridley Sign Code was declared unconstitutional, staff recommended a proposed
amendment to bring the Fridley sign code into compliance with the U.S. Constitution. Section
214.071(B) regarding automatic changeable signs stated, "The message shall not change more
than once every fifteen (15) minutes except for a sign displaying time, temperature, and/or date."
This regulated how often messages change; however, by eYempting time, temperature, and date
from the time requirement, the court determined the City was, in essence, regulating content.
Content-based regulations have been ruled unconstitutional. Judge Kammeyer, Anoka County
District Court, ruled that, "Admittedly the 15-minute timing regulation does not regulate the
actual content of the message. But, while it is true that the 15-minute timing regulation regulates
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL 1�IEETING OF JANUARY 27, 2003 PAGE 6
only the frequency of the change in the message, that regulation varies depending on the content
of the messaQe.. ..Therefore, Si�n Code 214.07.1 (the 15-minute provision) is a content-based
regulation." T'he proposed amendment removed all content-based regulations, removed all time-
exemption for messages displaying time, temperature, and/or date and required all messa�es not
to change more than once every 45 seconds. He said that automatic changeable signs were
permitted in all districts except residential districts and then only after petitioner was issued a
special use permit with the following minimum conditions: conformance to sign requirements
within that district and the requirement that the message would not change more than once every
15 minutes except for a sign displaying time, temperature, and/or date. Staff recommended
Council hold a public hearing for the proposed sign code text amendment.
Councilmember Billings stated that several months ago the City received a request for a variance
on the length of time a sign could stay on and it was denied. Subsequent to that there were
discussions and a decision was made to wait until after they had heard from the Court. He asked
if a letter had been received from the Chamber of Commerce regarding this matter.
Mr. Hickok replied that they had received a letter.
Councilmember Billings stated that as a result of a request for a variance and discussions with
the petitioner, he drove north on University Avenue toward Osborne Road until he could see the•
sign for the church on the northeast corner of Osborne and University. The church has a
readable sign and driving at 45 mph from the point he could first read the sign until he got past
the sign was about 30 seconds. He said if someone was driving at a reasonable speed on any of
the City's streets, the sign should only change once if the time limit was 45 seconds. If the time
limit got down to 15 seconds, a person driving 40 mph might see it change two or three times.
Councilmember Billings stated that the letter from the Chamber of Commerce was received in
March, 2002. It indicated that under the current sign ordinance, Fridley businesses were at a
competitive disadvantage. He said he thought the main goal of the original ordinance was two-
fold. First, they did not want the City to look like downtown Las Vegas. Second, with the
highways going through Fridley and people driving at speeds of 55 mph and above, Council
wanted to make sure that drivers were not distracted. In view of the District Court's decision,
they wanted to make sure that they regulate time, temperature, and date in the same manner as
they regulate everything else. He said he felt that something in the neighborhood of 15 secorids
would probably be more appropriate than 45 seconds.
Mayor Lund asked Councilmember Billings if he wanted it changed to 15 seconds.
Councilmember Billings replied that it was a suggestion.
Mayor Lund mentioned the letter from the Chamber of Commerce urged Council to make a
decision that was best for the community as a whole. He asked that Council seriously look at the
change in the ordinance. He had no problem with changing it to 45 seconds or 15 seconds. He
did have some concerns regarding illumination.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 27, 2003 PAGE 7
Councilmember Wolfe stated he agreed about illumination. He asked if the clock would change
every 45 seconds.
Mr. Hickok stated that he imagined that as the clock was shown, it would have the correct time,
but it would only be shown every 45 seconds.
Councilmember Wolfe asked if the time would stay on for 45 seconds and then get switched to a
different message
Mr. Hickok stated that it would.
Councilmember Wolfe asked if whatever message showed up had to stay there for 4� seconds.
Mr. Hickok said it did.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that depending on the sign, it could show a message.
Mr. Hickok said a message would read 12 o'clock until 12 o'clock and 45 seconds at which time
a new message would be shown. When the time was shown again it would be different. He said
the judge made the distinction. They could not allow the time to run separately. .
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that it did not prohibit someone from having the time and
temperature on the bottom stay the same and change the message elsewhere on the sign.
Mr. Hickok replied the time had to stay the same and when the message changed the temperature
would show. He stated they could not make a distinction between the time change and the
message changing. So, if you were asking if a message could be left there for 45 seconds and let
the time and temperature change as it would, it could not. It needed to be left for 45 seconds like
the rest of the message. You could not do one and not the other. It had to all be done the same.
Councilmember Barnette said if it was past midnight on January 28, for 45 seconds it would still
show January 27.
Mr. Hickok agreed.
Councilmember Barnette replied he would be in favor of 15 seconds.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated going back to whether it changed in 45 or 15 seconds, she did
have a concern that it was constantly changing and was a distraction, no matter whose sign it
was, what color it was, and how bright it was.
Councilmember Wolfe stated he would like to see it kept at 45 seconds to see how it worked and
gradually decrease the time.
Councilmember Billings commented that he thought if they were going to abide by the judge's
ruling and no longer exclude time, temperature, and date from the regulations, they had to try
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 27, 2003 PAGE 8
and come up with something that would accommodate the ruling. He thought changing the signs
about every 1� seconds was about as long as they wanted to go on those particular signs because
otherwzse they really were not of much use. He said that he believed there were only two signs
at businesses in town that have the time and temperature: Twin City Federal and Home Value.
Mr. Hickok replied there was a sign at Dr. Dahl's business on Highway 65.
Councilmember Billings stated he thought the sign at Menards had the capability of changing.
He said he thought it was important to come up with some type of enforceable regulations that
were easily understood by the public and easily understood by the enfarcement authorities.
Councilmember Wolfe commented that in the parking

same and that was not to make it a
Mr. Hickok stated they received information from the National League of Cities on this question.
They provided two sources in the research. One was on downcast lighting in parking lots. The
other was on an ordinance that outlined the kilowatts or the movements that could be used for
spotlighting a sign. He said the technology was just new enough that people were not able to
enforce it. �
Dr. Burns, City Manager, asked if this was something they could try for a given period of time
and then automatically have it come back for review.
Attorney Knaak, City Attorney, replied that they could create an effective termination date far
any legislative condition that they were undecided about. He said the challenge to the City's
ordinance was very broad and it was upheld. The point they were addressing was actually very
minor. There was a whole separate line of authority that agreed with Councilmember Barnette's
point of view. It was not, however, the sign that the Judge in his very carefully written opinion
decided to side with. He said he thought it was important to understand that virtually all of the
City's sign ordinance was upheld by Judge Kammeyer's opinion.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to receive the letter dated March 21, 2002, from the
Chamber of Commerce. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.

13. RESOLUTION NO. 9-2003 RECEIVING THE PRELINIINARY REPORT AND
CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE MATTER OF CONSTRUCTION
OF CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS: 62` WAY EXTENSION PROJECT NO. ST.
2003 — 2.
Mr. Haukaas, Public Works Director, stated the resolution received the report and outlined the
proposed project. The project would construct a 13-foot wide street with concrete curb and
gutter. The improvement was estimated to cost just over $21,000 including engineering and
contingency but did not include potential right-of-way acquisition costs. There currently existed
a right-of-way 25-feet wide extending 40 feet to the west of the Riverview Terrace right-of-way.
Another right-of-way and matching 25-foot width extending an additional 50 feet to the west
would be required to construct the project as it was currently laid out. It was recommended to
assess the project to the users of the new street. The street extension would be used exclusively
by the properties at 190 - 62"d Way and 310 - 62"d Way. The easterly half of the improvement
would be used by both properties, while the westerly half would be used eYClusively by the
property at 310 - 62"d Way. If the project proceeded, it was recommended that the property at
190 — 62"d Way be assessed 25 percent and the property at 31D — 62"d Way be assessed 75
percent. These assessments may be certified to Anoka County to be paid over a ten-year period.
The City of Fridley did have a policy allowing senior citizens to defer assessments until such
time as the property was sold. Staff recommended that Council consider this project. The
resolution scheduled a public hearing for March 3, 2003, but he understood there was a request
to reschedule it for March 24.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated what was before them was a resolution that basically accepted
the report as presented scheduled a public hearing. They would receive input from Council and
residents and anyone else at the public hearing.
Attorney Knaak, City Attorney, replied that was the statutory procedure.
Attorney Jim Neilson, attorney for Mr. and Mrs. Greg Potasek at 310 - 62"d Way in Fridley and
also for Ms. Marlene Gibson at 190 62"d Way, asked to speak directly about everything that has
gone on in the last few months. He stated that in the end, this matter was probably going to be in
court. He said it seemed to him that the City was creating more attorneys' fees for the property
owners and for the City. He thought there should be a determination in court first whether, as
they believe, this is a public road and it has to be done. He said there could be problems if they
proceed before the final determination by the court. He suggested that they table this until there
is a determination. He said his clients had directed him to bring a declaratory judgement action
in court.
Attorney Knaak stated he had no reason to doubt that Mr. Neilson would file an action in court.
He said the City could order improvements on that property regardless of what it was classified
as.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 27, 2003 PAGE 10
Mayor Lund stated it seemed Council had been repeatedly asked to do something about this
matter, and they are attempting to resolve the issue.
Councilmember Billinas replied that was exactly what his conclusion was back in August 2002.
They were nearly to this point and they �vere asked by Attorney Neilson to postpone things while
he had a chance to negotiate with the City's attorney. It is now January, 2003, no action had been
taken in this matter, and they were being asked to delay it again. They could have potentially had
a roadway built in the fall of 2002. He said if the property owners argued that this was a City
street and should be maintained as a City street, he thought it should be brought up to City
standards. He indicated that this was the procedure they generally followed in doing so. He saw
no reason to delay any longer but to move forward in the direction that the property owners had
been suggesting that they move all along.

14. RESOLUTION REVOKING INTOXICATING LIQUOR LICENSE FOR AMF
BOWLING CENTERS, INC., DB/A AMF MAPLE LANES LOCATED AT 6310
HIGHWAY 65 N.E.
Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that this resolution was tabled at the Council meeting on
October 28, 2002. At that time, staff presented information provided by AMF that indicated it
had not met the minimum food-to-liquor ratio as required by the City. A resolution was
presented to revoke the liquor license. The City Council tabled this resolution to allow AMF to
make some changes and increase food sales. He said _they received AMF's July through
September sales showing that their food-to-alcohol ration averaged 36 percent.
Councilmember Billings stated they had a motion before them a few weeks ago to change the
ordinance relative to the ratio between food and liquor and reduce it from 40 percent to 35
percent. He said he did not support that change. He indicated that even if they had supported
the revision to the ordinance, this particular establishment would not have meet the requirements.
There was a 60/40 minimum ratio of food to liquor, but there was also a requirement that in
order to be licensed as a restaurant selling on-sale liquor, 40 percent of the total business needed
to be from a combination of liquor and food. He believed this particular business did nat meet
the definition of a restaurant. He said Minnesota Statutes outlined the requirements, but there
was no definition of a bowling center in state statutes, nor was there any definition of a bowling
center in the City of Fridley's ardinance. He said the proper way to handle this was to add a
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 27, 2003 PAGE 11
definition of a bowling center to the definitions in Chapter 603 and some wording stating that in
arder to be eligible to receive a liquor license under Chapter 603, the business should be a
bowling center, a hotel, or a restaurant. He thought the City might want to limit the ordinance to
bowling centers, hotels, and restaurants. Nlinor changes �vould also need to be made to the
language regarding the 60/40 ratio. He said if that was the direction the majority of the Council
wanted to go, he thought this should be tabled for another three months allowing AMF to operate
while the ordinance was being revised.
Councilmember Barnette stated he was still concerned about making an exception.
Councilmember Billings read the State statute that applied. He said the statute spelled out hotels,
restaurants, and bowling centers all separately and indicated that they eYpect them to makz
provisions for those three types of organizations to be allowed to sell on-sale liquor. He thought
they were allow�ed to have a category for bowling centers strictly because it was in the state
statute.
Councilmember Barnette stated he would like to see Maple Lanes stay. He stated they could
have problems with the billiard center or volleyball center by making exceptions.
Councilmember Billings replied a liquor license could be issued only if they were a hotel or•
restaurant.
Councilmember Barnette stated they have a restaurant in their facility.
Councilmember Billings stated that those are the two provisions that allowed them to issue an
on-sale liquor license. If they have a restaurant, they must meet the same rules and regulations
as the other restaurants.
Councilmember Wolfe asked if they were making an exception because the bowling center did
not have a restaurant as their primary business.
Councilmember Billings replied that they were not making an exception. The City would try to
adapt their existing ordinance so it more closely aligns with the state statute. �
Councilmember Wolfe stated he would like to table this matter.
Councilmember Billings stated that it would require changes to the language of the City's
ordinance. He believed the language could be drafted within the next two or three weeks and it
could be back on the agenda at the end of February or the first part of March.
Mr. Pribyl stated liquor licenses were due Apri130.
Councilmember Billings stated that by Apri128, they could have a new ordinance in place.
Mayor Lund stated he was glad to see this proceed.

Councilmember Bolkcom stated she needed to see the langua�e.
Councilmember Wolfe stated he thought they were headed in the right direction.
Councilmember Billings asked 1�1r. Pribyl if the Finance Department would draft the changes.
N1r. Pribyl replied that they would work with the City Attorney.

Mr. Haukaas, Public Works Director, shawed one of Xcel's maps showing the highlighted areas
where the tree trimming would be taking place. He said Xcel employees would be going door to
door and leaving door hangers for residents that explained what they were planning to do. As a .
result of their meeting they identified three to four hot spots they were going to try and look at
and try to get the trimming done. He said the four areas they were planning to trim were behind
Holly Center, behind the Spur Station on East River Road, north of St. Philip's Church to the �
east of Baker Street and north of Rice Creek Road along the Harris Pond outlet ditch.
Dr. Burns stated the newsletter was completed and was on the City's web site. It should be

INTRODUCTION
The Engineering Department has proposed to City Council a 2003 Street Improvement
Project in Ward 1 for the Marian Hills neighborhood. See Figures A and B for location
maps. The project will include street reconstruction and utility improvements. The
streets included in this project are as follows:
• 52"d Avenue from Taylor Street to Buchanan Street -
• Buchanan Street from Columbia Heights City Limits to 53�d Avenue
• Fillmore Street from cul-de-sac to 53�d Avenue
• Lincoln Street from Buchanan Street to 53`d Avenue
• Pierce Street from cul-de-sac to 53�d Avenue
• Skywood Court from Skywood Lane to cul-de-sac
• Skywood Lane from cuf-de-sac to Matterhorn Drive
• Taylor Street from 52"d Avenue to cul-de-sac
City Council ordered the preparation of this report in order to consider the feasibility of
this proposed project. The work involved of said improvements listed above shall
hearafter be designated as: 2003 Street Project No. ST2003-01
PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS
The improvement considered by this report would consist of removing and replacing the
full aggregate and bituminous roadway section on all streets listed. The existing
aggregate base section may be salvageable; however, the cost estimate is based upon
the aggregate base being removed and replaced. The existing pavement section shall
be milled and reused as a supplement to the new aggregate base material. New
concrete curb and gutter shall be installed where none currently exists. Existing
concrete curb and gutter shall remain unless existing curb and gutter sections are
identified as requiring replacement. The grade of the roadway shall remain with very
little change, except in isolated areas to improve drainage.
Improvements also under consideration include utility upgrades. Also, storm sewer and
sanitary sewer improvement will be investigated during the design process. Reliant
Energy/Minnegasco has expressed interest in coordinating construction if they are to
upgrade their gas mains and services.

BACKGROUND
The City of Fridley in recent years has reconstructed several neighborhoods on a yearly
basis. The streets selected have extended beyond their useful life. The pavement has
deteriorated to the point where it is beyond preserving and should be replaced. Public
Works personnel have pointed out that there is a mixture of soil types in this area. The
soils range from sand (desirable) to clay (undesirable). A professional soils engineer will
perform a subsurface exploration (soil borings) and submit a soils report to the
Engineering Department.
Generally, the existing bituminous pavement has received several seal coats and has
required a vast amount of continual patching by City crews to keep it drivable. The
bituminous curbs have deteriorated away due to environmental effects and
snowplowing. The new concrete curb and gutter is very durable and can withstand
environmental impacts and snowplowing for many decades to come. Obviously, as the
street ages linearly, the maintenance cost increases exponentially.
Recent examples of neighborhood projects are: Edgewater Gardens (2002), Moore
Lake Hills (2001), Melody Manor (2000), Riverview Heights (1999), and Hackmann
Avenue (1998) -
�
12
ESTIMATED COSTS
The street reconstruction costs are estimated to be in the range of $650,000. The utility
improvement costs are estimated to 6e in the range of $70,000. All costs are
preliminary, but are expected to stay within the budgeted amount. A 10% contingency is
included in the preliminary costs. Estimated costs of this proposed work can be found
on Figure C of the Appendix.
FUNDING SOURCES
The project will be paid for using a variety of funding sources. The funding sources are
Street Capital Improvement fund, Minnesota State Aid funds, Storm Water fund, Water
fund, Sanitary Sewer fund, and special assessments. A funding breakdown worksheet
can be found on Figure D of the Appendix.
It is proposed to assess the benefiting properties adjacent to the project. Residential

SUMMARY
The reconstruction and utility work proposed for the Marian Hilis Neighborhood fits
within the 2003 Capital Improvement Plan. The streets are beyond their useful life and
are becoming a maintenance burden upon the City crews. The project is cost effective,
necessary, and feasible from an engineering standpoint as stated in this report. The
Engineering Department recommends that the City Council approve this project and
move forward and call a public hearing on the proposed improvements.

Signal Agreement - TH 65 and Mississippi Street
PW03-019 -
The attached resolution enters the City of Fridley into an agreement with the State of
Minnesota Department of Transportation for a project to upgrade and replace the traffic
signal system on TH 65 at Mississippi Street. ,
The City of Fridley does not have any construction costs involved in this project. The City will
continue to be responsible for the cost of the power to the signal as well as replacement of
lamps as necessary. All other repair work will be the responsibiliry of the state.
Ciry staff did question the compatibility of this project to future TH 65 upgrades. As there
does not currently exist any future plans for expansion of this intersection, including the City's
TH 65 Causeway Expansion project, there is nothing to design for. This project is needed now
and is the most reasonable approach under the circumstances.
Recommend the City Council adopt the resolution entering the City of Fridley into an
agreement with the State of Minnesota, Department of Transportation for improvements to
the TH 65 and Mississippi Street intersection signal system. -

Subject: Award of the Repair of Well #1 and Well #11
The Public Works Department prepared specifications and advertised for bids for the
repair of City Wells #1 and #11. On February 4, 2003 the City received bid proposals
from four well repair contractors. All the proposals met City specifications and bid bond
requirements.

$51,995
After the bid opening, E H Renner requested the withdrawl of their bid due to incorrect
prices. After consultation with the City Attorney, we have agreed to do this.
The FY2003 Water Department capital budget has allocated $65,000 for the repair of
Wells # 1 and # 11. The bids received are m�imum amounts and will only be expended
if all parts of the well need to be replaced. The well repairs are bid based on the unit cost
of the parts that actually are replaced and therefore actual final repair costs are projected
to be less than the budgeted amount.
We recommend that the repair of Well #1 be awarded to Bergerson-Caswell in the
amount of $38,880 and that the repair of Well #11 also be awarded to Bergerson-Caswell
in the amount of $34,130.
