STATE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Senator pon Betzold stated the legislative session began January 3 pursuant to State
constitution which also requires they must finish the session by midnight, May 21. They are
required by State law to present a two-year budget. He discussed the budget surplus. He
thought some of the money will go into the budget reserve and some will go into buying down
the interest. He said the top six bills introduced in the senate last week dealt with lowering
property taxes, putting money into LGA, providing more health care and early education,
transportation, energy, and the environment.
Representative Carolyn Laine stated some of the bills that were just introduced include some
LGA costs, most of them for school districts. She met with Metro Cities and they had a
discussion about some things that were very relevant to the Fridley area. It would be very hard
to revamp the LGA formula at this time but some of the smaller fixes are definitely on the table.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 8, 2007 PAGE 2
Representative Tom Tillberry stated they did start committee work Two of the four
committees he belongs to are Education and then Taxes and Commerce. One of the things he
wants to focus on is bringing kids in and getting them involved with government.
Representative Kate Knuth stated she is serving on the Commerce and Labor Committee, the
environment and natural resource finance division as well as the energy policy and finance. She
did work as an environmental educator and her studies have been in biology and conservation.
Senator Satveer Chaudhary stated he is chairing the Environment and Natural Resources
Committee. They had a bill last year to try and expand Springbrook, but it did not get through.
He would like to continue working on that. He is also working on the Agriculture Committee.
One thing they will be seeing is comprehensive health care reform. The bill that was introduced
is going to expand coverage for Minnesotans in terms of health care. They are going to be
focusing on property tax relief, health care relief, education funding, energy independence, and
the environment.
Councilmember Barnette asked the Vikings stadium issue.
Senator pon Betzold replied he did not know what the Vikings' plans are. Anoka County had
been working for a couple of years with what they thought was a partnership. That fell apart in
September.

FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 8, 2007 PAGE 6
Mayor Lund stated possibly by the next meeting they can announce a tentative schedule of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Toni Swanson, 524 Fairmont Street, asked if anyone had any updates on what is going on with
the Texaco station at 8880 East River Road.
Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, stated they did serve the property owner.
The owner has 28 days to respond and would need to respond by January 18. If they have not
provided a proper response by the 19th, the City could with the court's permission begin
demolition.
PUBLIC HEARING:
14. Consider the Building Located at 136 Horizon Circle Hazardous and Order its
Removal or Repair Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 463 (Ward 3)
(Continued December 11, 2007).
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to remove the item from the table and waive the
reading. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND ITEM WAS REMOVED FROM THE
TABLE AT 8:27 P.M.
Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, stated at the last meeting they had a public
hearing regarding this property. There was a resolution being requested of the Council
authorizing and approving staff moving ahead with the demolition of this structure as well if a
plan was not in place within the required 20 days. The house was purchased and the closing was
held on December 19. Since that meeting, the new owners have had contractors and soil
engineers working on a solution for this property. Staff would recommend allowing some time
for the new owners to get their plan in place and recommend keeping the hearing open until the
second meeting in February.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if staff is comfortable that there is no increased risk by
waiting.
Mr. Hickok replied one of the City's concerns on December 11 was that the house was sitting
vacant and the future of the home was uncertain. Any time a foundation is deteriorating is a
problem for the City. When the City knows that it needs to act swiftly. The owners are now out
and no one is living in there. The property has changed hands and all of the right things are
happening. Staff believes the risk has been contained to the point that staff is comfortable
allowing time for them to come back with a plan.
Attorney Knaak stated it is important to remember that the purpose of the process is for the
protection of the public. As a practical matter in these kinds of cases, when it arrives at court,
the only time you ever really see a house immediately demolished or a structure immediately
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 8, 2007 PAGE 7
demolished is when there is no one in it and no one is responding. The court is not interested in
imposing any kind of extreme sanctions on anybody and it is not in the business of being
punitive, it is in the business of getting a result. Even if the City would have gone forward in this
kind of case, you would be in a situation where the court would be asking those kinds of
questions especially if the owner is represented. So this is one of those situations where the City,
by deferring, has basically offered a gesture to the owners that they are prepared to hold off on
this legal action and do what the court would probably make them do and that is to sit down and
try and negotiate. The City is not in any way prejudiced legally by taking this action.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if staff was asking them to continue the public hearing and
table the resolution.
Mr. Hickok replied, yes, that is correct.
Dr. Burns stated the resolution was attached to the hearing information but it was not listed as
an agenda item. The resolution was there in case the Council chose to adopt the resolution
tonight. He asked whether it needs to be tabled if it was not on the agenda.
Mr. Knaak replied if it is in the packet, even though it is not acted upon necessarily, his
recommendation is that they continue it. He agrees if it has not been put on as an agenda item,
ordinarily he would not say that. However, given the fact it is a quasi judicial action, he would
not want to create a technical reason for someone to object subsequently.
Valerie Tatley, the homeowner, 115 Horizon Circle N.E., approached and stated she can give
them a timetable. There is a dumpster at the house. She thinks the other family is in the process
of cleaning out probably about 40 to 50 years worth of stuff. It is going very well. The soil
boring samples have already been taken and they are waiting to hear the results. When they
bought the property they had not even seen what the actual damage was. They had originally
intended on just buying it for the property alone because of the location. The actual damage that
occurred in the home is completely repairable. They have had seven different contractors who
have said they can fix it.
Mayor Lund asked if the work will have started if this is continued until the second meeting in
February.
Ms. Tatley replied yes. Their goal is to have this thing done hopefully by June.
Mayor Lund said because of the safety issue, he assumes the foundation is one of their first
obj ectives.
Ms. Tatley said it was.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated if they were to continue this, it is for a plan to be in place, not
that the work needed to be completed by February 26.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 8, 2007 PAGE 8
Mr. Hickok replied correct. The City's only position on the question as whether to leave this
open and go to February or not, they have been very impressed with Ms. Tatley and her fiance
and the group they have been working with. There is no doubt they will get the work done;
however, in any situation like this it would provide for them a safety net just to make certain.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to continue the public hearing to February 26, 2007.
Seconded by Councilmember Varichak.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY
CONTINUED TO DECEMBER 26, 2007.
AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to table the Resolution Ordering the Removal or Repair
of a Hazardous Building Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 463, Located within the City of
Fridley, Minnesota, to a date uncertain. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
NEW BUSINESS:
15. Approve City Licenses for JWBB, Inc., d/b/a Baggan's Pub, Generally Located at
3720 East River Road (Ward 3).
Richard Pribyl, Finance Director, stated this is the liquor license approval for JWBB, Inc.
which will be doing business as Baggan's Pub. The public hearing on this matter was held
initially on November 12 and was continued to December 4 and then to December 11, at which
time it was closed. When it was closed, the license was to be scheduled for issuance this
evening. At this time, staff feels the issues have been addressed and they recommend the City
Council approve the license with the following stipulations:
1
2
3
That the license not be issued until the Anoka County Health Department, the Fridley
Building and Mechanical Inspectors and the City Fire Marshall have given their
approval to open and operate a restaurant.
That the State of Minnesota has approved the liquor license.
That the license be issued for a 16-month period to expire Apri130, 2008.
This particular license would then be issued for a duration of 16 months based on the timing
related to the approval of this particular liquor license and renewal period that would actually be
entered into within the next month or two, so the City does not actually subj ect the owner to
going back to a renewal process probably within the same month he acquired his liquor license.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated she does not remember doing anything like this before. She is
a little concerned about approving a license with stipulations related to issues that are still there.
She understands they have made a lot of improvements.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 8, 2007 PAGE 9
Mr. Pribyl stated the last few licenses have actually been issued this way. Most of the time
when the City issues a liquor license, the restaurant is not yet completed. The City actually
issues the license and it is held by staff until those building components have been satisfied and
the City and Anoka County are satisfied that the applicants can actually open as a restaurant. At
this point in time, the applicant has satisfied staff in that he understands the City Code,
understands what the requirements are, and is working with Anoka County and the Fridley
building and mechanical inspectors and is moving quite diligently through the construction
phase. This is really not much different than the last few liquor licenses the City has issued on
new applicants, such as Appleby's. That license was issued prior to the opening of the
restaurant.
Councilmember Bolkcom said the applicant really does not get a liquor license until the
stipulations have been met.
Mr. Pribyl replied Council is actually approving it and staff is holding it until the stipulations
have been met.
William Burns, City Manager, asked if the organization structure issues have been resolved.
Mr. Pribyl replied the applicant understands exactly what his requirements are related to the
food and liquor sales on the premise related to the definition of a restaurant and actually the
requirement related to that ratio on the food to liquor.
Dr. Burns asked if staff has determined that the Oops Dinner Theater food and liquor sales are
part of the Baggan's Pub food and liquor sales or if they are totally separate.
Mr. Pribyl said that will be incorporated as the overall sales on that premise so he will have to
take that into account--both the sales related to the theater and the sales related to food and
alcohol. That is understood by the applicant.
Councilmember Barnette asked if the liquor license is being given to Baggan's Pub.
Mr. Pribyl replied correct.
Councilmember Barnette stated Oops Theater is going to operate in the other part of the
building and will also be selling liquor, correct?
Mr. Pribyl replied they will actually have liquor dispensed on that side by Mr. Busick under his
license.
Councilmember Barnette asked so the 40/60 ratio will combine both the Pub and the Oops
Theater.
Mr. Pribyl replied that is correct.
Councilmember Barnette asked why the license was just to Baggan's Pub and not Oops
Theater.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 8, 2007 PAGE 10
Mr. Pribyl said Baggan's Pub includes the entire perimeter of the building itsel£ It is up to Mr.
Busick what activities he has going on inside such as entertainment. It is basically similar to an
entertainment license. So he is actually providing the theater as part of his entertainment.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to approve the City licenses for JWBB, Inc., d/b/a
Baggan's Pub, located at 3720 East River Road, with the following stipulations:
1. That the license not be issued until the Anoka County Health Department, the Fridley
Building and Mechanical Inspectors and the City Fire Marshall have given their
approval to open and operate a restaurant; and
2. That the State of Minnesota has approved the liquor license.
3. That the license be issued for a 16-month period to expire Apri130, 2008.
Seconded by Councilmember Saefke.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
16. Special Use Permit Request, SP #06-14, by BWBR Architects, for Unity Hospital, to
Consider the Expansion of an Existing Hospital Building in an R-1, Single-Family
Residential Zoning District, Generally Located at 550 Osborne Road N.E. (Ward 1).
Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, stated Shannon Bambery of BWBR
Architects is a representative of Unity Hospital, and they are proposing two changes for the
hospital. One is a special use permit request to allow the expansion of their existing building
which is in an R-1 District. The second part they are doing is remodeling the interior space of
the hospital. The portion of the hospital that requires additional space has been there since 1984.
The proposed expansion involves a second story over the existing surgery area which was built
in 1994. It is not expanding the footprint of the building. The expansion is approximately 9,600
square feet and will be connected internally on the southeast area on the same level. They will
be able to go up by stairs or by elevator from the emergency area so that will become part of
their triage or emergency area. There will also be 2,200 square feet of space that will allow for
future expansion within that shell which is good space planning. It allows them an opportunity
to expand later without coming back and asking for a shell expansion or another special use
permit.
Mr. Hickok stated a special use permit is not needed to remodel, and typically they would go to
the Building Division for that. However, to be perfectly clear what they are doing, they have
included it in with their special use permit request. The remodeled area consists of
approximately 11,000 square feet including the existing trauma to be remodeled, and treatment
and exam areas. The proposed expansion will create larger exam rooms, private settings for
waiting patients, a second-story staff work station, and an expanded first-floor staff area. The
proposed expansion will not increase the number of beds. This is basically to make their space
inside more efficient.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 8, 2007 PAGE 11
Mr. Hickok stated the property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential, as is most of the
surrounding property. The property is approximately 35 acres in size. The hospital campus is
comprised of a hospital, associated buildings, parking lots, and landscaped area. The initial
hospital was built in 1969. Subsequent special use permits have been issued to allow expansion.
In 1984, the City Council approved a special use permit to add approximately 43,000 square feet
to the trauma, treatment, and exam area. Additionally in 1984, the City Council approved a
special use permit to allow expansion of the parking lot to meet the demands for that new
addition space.
Mr. Hickok stated in 1994, Council approved a special use permit for a surgery addition. In
2000, the City Council approved a special use permit for a minor addition to the building that
included an interior second-story ICU unit. In 2002, the hospital added 80 parking stalls and
ponding associated with that new hard surface. Landscape fencing along Lyric Lane was added
in 2003. The hospital has been good at working with adjacent property owners' concerns.
Hospitals are permitted as a special use in the R-1 single-family district subject to stipulation.
The property complies with all setback and lot coverage requirements.
Mr. Hickok stated at the September 6 Planning Commission meeting, a public hearing was held
on this item. After the discussion, a special use permit was approved with a revision to
Stipulation No. 6 and that was to request 36 additional stalls on the hospital grounds. One of the
City's concerns when analyzing this was that for a period this summer they noticed an
abundance of cars and some had parked off the hard surface. After speaking with officials from
the site, they learned that Unity was having computer work done. Now that the work is done,
they are not seeing the problem anymore.
Mr. Hickok stated typically now there are cells available on this site surrounding both the
professional building and hospital building. The petitioner has requested an opportunity then as
to conduct further parking studies to verify this additional parking is unnecessary. Staff finds
this to be reasonable. By allowing them to do this study, it would allow them to size the parking
lot to the demands as opposed to having additional asphalt that is not necessary. Staff has further
reworded Stipulation No. 6 to require a revised proof of parking plan that increases parking by
36 stalls.
Mr. Hickok stated a resident from the neighborhood across Lyric Lane contacted the City
regarding concerns about lack of screening between the hospital and the single-family homes on
Lyric Lane. Staff inet with that resident, they did a site analysis and, as a result, staff is
recommending two additional stipulations regarding landscaping and screening that were not
available at the Planning Commission meeting. Staff agrees with the concerned resident that the
view across from the residential property on Lyric Lane is one that could be enhanced. There is
mechanical equipment, there is parking, and unfortunately they might have noticed on the aerial
the most compressed area, the area that is closest to that residential across the street is probably
the most open with a driveway and limited opportunity for landscape in that area. So they are
recommending that it be looked at and a landscape plan be submitted. The petitioner has been
considering screening options for its mechanical equipment and is prepared to share some of
those ideas with them this evening.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 8, 2007 PAGE 12
Mr. Hickok stated staff recommends that the special use permit for this project be granted with
the following stipulations:
1. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction.
2. The petitioner shall meet all building, fire, and ADA requirements.
3. The subj ect property shall be maintained free of any and all construction debris.
4. Construction vehicles shall not bring materials before 7:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m.
(on Saturdays that changes 9:00 a.m. when they can start).
5. The additional shall be architecturally compatible with the existing building and
finished with complementary exterior building materials and color scheme.

Councilmember Bolkcom asked about Stipulation No. 4 and if the time for Saturday should be
spelled out in the stipulation.
Mr. Hickok replied it is spelled out in the ordinance. If they like they can modify that.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Hickok if he has any more comments related to the
parking report.
Mr. Hickok replied this is a very proactive stance on petitioner's part. They did go out in
anticipation of doing expansion and analyzed their parking situation. Of course customer service
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 8, 2007 PAGE 13
is key to them and they want to make certain their patients have parking spots as well and their
professional staff. They also have concerns about putting in additional parking and not having it
be used. Staff does think this is probably the best solution. They are one step closer this way to
having the parking installed.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked whether they have had complaints from the neighborhood
related to people parking on the street. She knows there is some one-hour parking posted around
there. On her way home today she saw a fair amount of cars parked on Lyric Lane.
Mr. Hickok replied, yes, there was a time when staff was getting a number of complaints along
Lyric. He thinks the posting of signs has changed that. Also, the hospital has a very proactive
stance. There was also a smoking issue. People were parking close to the building so they could
use their car as sort of a smoking lounge and that was troublesome for adj acent property owners,
and the hospital was very good to react to that when the City got complaints. The City contacted
them and the complaints seemed to go away. About the only on-street parking concern he has
heard is that some people do not like the two-hour parking along Madison because they would
prefer to park there, it seems to be closer to the door.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked whether anything can be done with the smokestack She also
asked about Stipulation No. 5.
Shannon Bambery, BWBR Architects, noted with the pictures of the screening of the
equipment, it is all existing equipment on that rooftop. It is not associated with the project but
they are aware of the comments from the neighbors. As it has been stated, they are looking at
some solutions to help screen that equipment. They do feel there are a number of potential
solutions. In general, the leading candidate for a mechanical screen would be the type that is a
metal louver that would screen the visual line from the neighbors of most of the equipment on
the roof and still allow airflow which is critical. Structurally there are issues with whether that
screen can go all the down to the roof level or not. They do not have the engineering completed
on that yet.
Mr. Bambery stated with respect to the Code, and the snow boating calculations have changed
in the last few years, it is a little more complicated than that as kind of dry. Effectively, by
introducing a wall out at that edge, you would be able to trap more snow than would otherwise
drift off the roof. He presented a couple of pictures showing an example of the screen wall that
was completed at a recent proj ect in downtown St. Paul. They have worked diligently since the
Planning Commission meeting to look at what those options might be. A second piece of that is
the landscaping options. There are a number of items that to come into play when looking at the
existing tree type and what can be used to fill in additional landscaping. There are also some
other additional issues regarding the utilities.
Mayor Lund asked about the smokestack. He said it was a hard thing to screen.
Timothy B. Grote, Unity Hospital, stated they have not really done anything because you
cannot keep it painted very well with 450-degree heat coming out of it. Ideally trees could do it
but, unfortunately, they are dealing with some pretty large utility issues with planning any large
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 8, 2007 PAGE 14
conifer type trees that would help screen that smokestack They have talked to City staff about
planting some shrubbery. He believes the ordinance requires a 30-inch high screen where there
is any parking and headlights were shining into the residential area. With snow removal trucks
going through there it is very hard to maintain plant life. Over to the east towards Madison there
are some holes in the landscape. There are no utilities in that area, and they can increase the
screening for the homes across there. They are looking at putting several large conifer trees
there.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if they have rain garden potential.
Mr. Hickok replied there may be. They do have one in their parking plans on the northwest
corner.
Councilmember Varichak asked who maintains the shrubbery that is put in to cover the
distraction.
Mr. Grote replied the hospital would. They do have irrigation in the area so they have the best
chance of survival but more than likely they would be replacing it every couple of years.
Mayor Lund asked Mr. Grote if he had any problems with the stipulations.
Mr. Grote said they really do not. They understand the residents' issues. They are going to be
restricted to some degree on what they can and cannot do as far as the screening.
Councilmember Saefke asked if the proposed screening plan would be shown to the residents.
Mr. Hickok replied typically they would use their discretion on that. They have had a very nice
visit with the resident who was concerned about the property who is here this evening. They are
welcome once the information is here to come in and take a look at it. They will do the best they
can.
Councilmember Saefke asked if the plans would be brought before the Council.
Mr. Hickok replied typically not. Council would rely on staff in their professional ability to
analyze that.
Suzanne Holm, 7424 Melody Drive, approached and thanked everyone and stated they all have
concerns about the hospital in the sense it is big, much bigger than it was when they first moved
there and they all know as Council does that it is truly an asset. She wanted to make the point
that it is a co-dependency issue, the residents rely on them and they rely on the residents also.
MOTION by Councilmember Saefke to approve the Special Use Permit Request, SP #06-14, for
Unity Hospital with the following ten stipulations:
1. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction.
2. The petitioner shall meet all building, fire, and ADA requirements.

Re: Resolution to Adopt the Anoka County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
For the past 18 months, Anoka County and its communities have been working toward
completion of a comprehensive Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan. This plan
describes the most significant natural and man-made hazards that could impact Anoka
County, and identifies local projects that could be undertaken to reduce the impact of these
hazards before they occur.
The planning process is very extensive. It requires gathering demographic data about every
community, charting historical disaster trends, and projecting potential disaster losses. The
process also challenges all jurisdictions to identify achievable goals that they could work
toward to reduce the effects of future disasters.
The countywide Hazard Mitigation Plan is required by the federal government as a
prerequisite to hazard mitigation funding. The plan, once adopted, will provide the basis for
future disaster mitigation projects throughout Anoka County. Our planning group in Fridley
identified some mitigation proj ects. The group concluded that we will need to evaluate our
streets and identify those in need of repair to assist with flooding problems; purchase, and
train all city personnel in the use of, communications equipment (800 mega hertz); and plan
future updates to our existing city warning sirens.
The draft plan was completed on May 19, 2006, and after public comment was obtained, the
plan was forwarded to the state office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
The state approved the plan and forwarded it to the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) for review. FEMA approved the plan with no recommended changes, which is
unusual for a plan of this detail.
The final step for plan completion is formal adoption of the plan by the Fridley City Council.
On behalf of the planning team, I am proud to present the Anoka County Multi-Jurisdictional
All Hazards Mitigation Plan for your consideration. Staff requests that the resolution to adopt
the Hazard Mitigation Plan be approved. A copy of the entire plan (332 pages) is located in
the Police Department for your review.
Resolution No. 2007 -
A RESOLUTION TO ADOPT THE ANOKA COUNTY MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL
HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
WHEREAS, the State of Minnesota has ordained that every county and incorporated
municipality in the state is required to have a Hazard Mitigation Plan approved by the Minnesota
Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, to maintain eligibility for state
disaster assistance after November 2004; and
WHEREAS, the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) under the Disaster
Mitigation Act of 2000 has ordained that every county and incorporated municipality within the
county is required to have a Hazard Mitigation Plan approved by FEMA in order to be eligible
for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Funding for Presidential disasters declared after November
2004; and
WHEREAS, under the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has issued an Interim Final Rule that details the minimum criteria for local
hazard mitigation plans; and
WHEREAS, the City of Fridley agrees with the concept of and necessity for hazard mitigation
planning; and
WHEREAS, The Anoka County Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee recommends the
adoption of the Anoka County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan and;
WHEREAS, the Minnesota Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management
and the Federal Emergency Management Agency have conducted a review of and approved the
Anoka County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan;
WHEREAS, the Anoka County Board of Commissioners formally adopted the Anoka County
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan on November 28, 2006;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Fridley, hereby
adopts the Anoka County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan dated November 28, 2006.

Re: PAY EQUITY COMPLIANCE REPORT
Attached is a copy of the Pay Equity Implementation Report, which we will submit to the
Minnesota Department of Employee Relations (DOER) on January 31, 2007. This report is
required to receive approval from the City Council and is scheduled for the Jan. 22, 2007 Council
meeting.
After careful analysis and review, I am submitting this report for Council approval, confirming to
the best of my knowledge and abilities that the City has complied with all requirements of the
Local Government Pay Equity Act. As in past years, we look forward to, once again, receiving a
certificate of Pay Equity Compliance from the Minnesota Department of Employee Relations.
Background
The Local Government Pay Equity Act of 1984 applies to approximately 1,500 local
governments in Minnesota and impacts approximately 220,000 employees. The Department of
Employee Relations (DOER) is responsible for the enforcement of the Act (Minnesota Statutes
471.991-471.999 and Minnesota Rules Chapter 3920).
Commonly referred to as "Pay Equity or Comparable Worth," the Local Government Pay Equity
Act requires local governments to establish equitable compensation relations to eliminate sex-
based wage disparities in public employment. Equitable compensation relationships are achieved
when the compensation for female-dominated classes is not consistently below the compensation
for male-dominated classes of comparable work value within the political subdivision.
Local governments are responsible for complying with the law at all times and report their data
every three years. The City of Fridley is required to report by Jan. 31, 2007 for its 2006 data. The
last report was submitted in 2002 and was in compliance. (Note: There was a two-year
suspension by the State of Minnesota of the reporting schedule due to changes in the legislature.)
In October of 2006, Council adopted the revision of the City's Compensation Plan, which
involved an extensive study and implementation of a new job evaluation system. A consultant
was hired to assist us in the review and implementation. Each position and pay classification was
carefully analyzed and considered, resulting in a new point system in order to comply with the
Law. Employees were informed of changes and this report reflects those changes.

The attached repoYts will be submitted to DOER fox final Yeview and approval. 'The reports were
generated from data entered into DOER's customized softwaxe and were the xesult of a statistical
analysis.
The Pay Equity Implementation Report is a sumtnary and signature form. It also Yeflects the
actual annual payroll fox the calendar year ending Dec. 31, 2006. The Compliance Report is a
sum�.nary of the statistical analysis, which says the City meets the minimum standard for the
Underpayment Ratio. The City's Underpayment Ra.tio was 92.1%, in other words, the female-
dominated classes axe paid at 92.1% of the male-dominated classes. The minimum sta.ndaxd is
80% so the City complies with this standaxd. The Salary Ra.nge was 94.67% and Exceptional
Service Pay was less than the 20% as xequixed.
The Job Class Data Entry Verification List is the list of job classifications submitted by Job
Point Va1ue fxom highest to lowest. This report also reflects the wage ranges, a breakdown of
gender, and number of years befoxe reaching the maxitnum in the position.
A separate YepoYt (not included in this paeket) will be submitted to DOER that will show a
comparison of oux last report in 2002 and this report. DOER asks fox an accounting and
explanation for any change related to positions, point values, job evaluation system, additions or
vacancies.
If you wish to learn more about this process ox wish to examine any of the detail in this repoYt, I
can make it ava.ila.ble to pou ox the Council upon xequest.
Failure to Comply
If an oYganization is not in compliance, it will be penalized through a 5% reduction in state aid or
$100 a day, whichever is greater.
Action Needed
Staff is requesting that Council approve this Yeport. If you need further information or
backgxound, I can pxovide that to you oY be available at the City Council meeting.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF
JAN UARY 22, 2007
William W. Burns, City Manager
John Berg, Fire Chief
December 28, 2006
First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 108 of the Fridley City Code
Pertaining to Open Burning
The City does not have a permit process for open burning which includes fires used to remove
vegetation like prairie grass at Springbrook Nature Center, Medtronic World Headquarters and
other commercial sites. By establishing a permit process, the Fire Department has the ability to
review plans and monitor open burning and ensure that the burning is conducted in a safe
manner.
Minnesota State Statutes and Fire Code do not prohibit open burning of vegetation and other
material in burners or on snow covered ground. Given the City's suburban setting, I do not
believe it is in our best interest to allow people to burn leaves and other material in the City of
Fridley creating a nuisance and perceived fire hazard for residents. At one time, the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency prohibited this type of open burning. When the Minnesota DNR was
given authority for enforcing open burning and the statutes changed, the Fire Department
continued to discourage this type of burning but without legislation to enforce the rules.
Like the statutes on open burning, the Minnesota State Fire Code allows recreational fires that
are less restrictive and may not be suited to a suburban setting. The Fire Department's published
"rules" are not enforceable under the current legislation.
I am proposing the attached legislation be added to City Code Chapter 108 Fire Prevention and
that the Fees in Chapter 11 be amended to reflect this change. By enacting this legislation, the
City of Fridley will establish a permit process for open burning and provide legislation for
enforcement of the currently practiced rules for open burning and recreational fires.
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTERS 11 AND 108 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE
PERTAINING TO FEES AND OPEN BURNING
They City Council of the City of Fridley hereby finds, after review, examination and recommendation of
staff, that the Fridley City Code be hereby amended by:
Section 1. Ordain that Chapter 108 be amended by adding the following language:
108.12 OPEN BURNING
1. Open Burnin� Prohibited. Except as otherwise permitted by this section, all open burnin� is
prohibited in the City of Fridle�
2. Definitions. For the purposes of this section the followin� definitions shall a�plv:
A. "Open Fire" or "Open Burnin�" means the burnin� of materials wherein products of
combustion are emitted directly into the ambient air without passin� throu�h a stack or chimney
from an enclosed chamber. Open burnin� does not include road flares, smud�epots and similar
devices associated with safety or occupational uses typically considered open flames or
recreational fires. For the purposes of this definition, a chamber shall be re�arded as enclosed
