BOARD OF REVIEW AND EQUALIZATION
CITY OF FRIDLEY
APRIL 9, 2007
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE:
Mayor Lund led the Council and audience in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag.
ROLL CALL:
MEMBERS PRESENT: Mayor Lund
Councilmember-at-Large Barnette
Councilmember Saefke
Councilmember Varichak
Councilmember Bolkcom
OTHERS PRESENT: William Burns, City Manager
Fritz Knaak, City Attorney
Richard Pribyl, Finance Director
Mary Smith, City Assessor
Lynn Krachmer, City Appraiser
Mary Smith, City Assessor, stated the meeting was held in accordance with Minn. Stat.
§274.01. The purpose of the Board is to establish a consistent appeal procedure for property
owners who want to appeal their 2007 estimated market value or the classification of their
property. Only appeals for the current year's valuation or classification may be made. As the
Board of Appeal and Equalization, the City Council has the ability to change values or
classifications in accordance with State law. The Board has three possible courses of action that
can be taken on each case: affirm, reduce or increase the current value based on information
presented. If the property owner feels that the Board did not resolve their concerns, they may
bring their case to the Anoka County Board of Appeals and Equalization which will be held on
June 18.
Ms. Smith said there must be a majority of the Local Board of Appeal and Equalization
members present to have a quorum, and at least one member has to attend an appeal and
equalization course developed or approved by the Commissioner within the last four years as
certified by the Commissioner. The Board shall see that all taxable property is properly valued
and classified. If property is omitted, it may be added by the Board. The Board cannot give a
class of property an increase or decrease. They may only increase or decrease individual
properties. The Board must hear cases for the current assessment year. As the Board makes
reductions to individual properties, the amount of the reduction cannot exceed 1 percent of the
citywide aggregate assessment. If the Board finds a case of undervaluation, it may raise the
valuation of that property but it must first notify the owner. The Board must complete and
adjourn within 20 days from the time it convenes.
BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION MEETING OF APRIL 9, 2007 PAGE 2
Ms. Smith stated the procedure for the Fridley Board of Appeal and Equalization will be to hear
the property owner's appeal and to make a decision based on information provided by the owner
and the assessor. If no information is provided, the Board may direct staff to reappraise the
property and report back to the Board at a reconvened meeting. Written appeals will be read
once the property owners who are present have completed their appeal. Once read, the Fridley
Board may confirm the 2007 estimated market value allowing the property owner to take the
appeal to the County Board.
Ms. Smith stated the 2006 assessment consisted of viewing approximately 1,440 properties,
located in the mid-section of the City. If the property owner was not at home, a tag was left
regarding the visit asking the property owner to call and set up an appointment. If there was no
response, the City estimated the values assuming some improvements had been made since their
last reassessment. In order for these property owners to appear before the Board, they will need
to have the City physically review their property.
Ms. Smith stated for the 2007 assessment and review, the number of residential sales that
occurred in Fridley were 317. Of this number, 304 were single-family homes, townhomes, and
double bungalows and 13 were condominium sales. The sales used for the sales ratio study are
sales that have occurred from October 1, 2005, through September 30, 2006. These sales
indicated that the City needed to increase one land zone. After making the adjustment, the City
is in line with State requirements.
1. 7710 Main Street, PIN 03-30-24-44-0065.
Ms. Smith stated this property is a 23,440 square foot industrial property that is currently being
leased. The property was purchased in January, 2007, for $937,600 or $39.26 per square foot.
In December, 2006, the buyer had an appraisal done on this property. The value conclusion of
this appraisal is $1,000,000. The current 2007 assessment on this property is $1,013,400. After
meeting with the property owner and reviewing this appraisal, it is Ms. Smith's opinion that the
value be lowered to the appraisal's value conclusion of $1,000,000 upon the Board's approval.
Councilmember Bolkcom wanted to point out this is the first time they have been presented
with any information so none of them have had any time to review any of the appeals.
Mayor Lund stated it sounded like petitioner is okay with the lowered value.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to concur with the City Assessor's valuation of
$1,000.000 on the property at 7710 Main Street. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
2. 7701 Main Street, PIN 02-30-24-33-0018.
Ms. Smith stated this property is a 19,200 square foot industrial building that is currently leased.
The 2007 estimated market value is $893,200. Ms. Smith used the sales comparison approach
BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION MEETING OF APRIL 9, 2007 PAGE 3
provided with the first case and made the appropriate adjustments to the comparables to make
them like the subject property. She arrived at a value of $883,200 or $46 per square foot. After
meeting with the property owner and reviewing this information, it is her opinion that the value
should be lowered to $883,200.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to concur with the City Assessor's valuation of
$883,200, on the property at 7701 Main Street. Seconded by Councilmember Saefke.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
3. 7200 University Avenue, PIN 11-30-24-23-0019.
Ms. Smith said this property is a retail building consisting of 4,912 square feet which includes
the second floor. It was purchased in December, 1998, and had an appraisal done on it in
October, 2003, for $480,000. The City's 2007 estimated market value is $620,900 or $126.40 a
square foot. In researching this building, Ms. Smith discovered there were no small stand-alone
retail buildings that had sold in Anoka County. Therefore, she expanded her search through the
metro suburban area. Of these sales, she chose 15 that occurred from August, 2004, through
September, 2006. Eliminating the high and low sales, the average value was $161.55 with the
median at $160.64. Averaging all the sales she arrived at $164.83. Assigning the averages of
$161.55 and $164.83, she arrived at a value between $793,500 and $809,600. Furthermore, there
was a sale at 7730 University Avenue, Nikolas Hair and Spa, on January 27, 2006, which sold
for $715,000 or $168.08 a square foot. It is her recommendation that the 2007 estimated market
value of $620,900 or $126.40 a square foot be affirmed.
MOTION by Councilmember Saefke to affirm the estimated market value of $620,900 or
$126.40 per square foot for the property located at 7200 University Avenue. Seconded by
Councilmember Varichak.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
4. 7685 Main Street NE, PIN 11-30-24-22-0022
Ms. Smith stated this property is a 17,400 square foot industrial building. It was purchased in
July, 2004, for $750,000 or $43.10 per square foot. This building is similar to the two prior
industrial buildings as far as location and building price. It was built in 1980. It is newer than
the other two and has less square footage. She used the same comparison approach provided
with the first case and made the appropriate adjustments to the comparables to make them like
the subject property. She arrived at a value of $830,000 or $47.70 a square foot. It is her
recommendation that the estimated market value of $909,200 be lowered to $830,000.
Mayor Lund asked if Ms. Anderson was happy with the figure.
Ms. Anderson replied, yes.
BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION MEETING OF APRIL 9, 2007 PAGE 4
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to affirm the estimated market value of $830,000 or
$47.70 per square foot on the property located at 7685 Main Street NE. Seconded by
Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, COUNCILMEMBER LUND DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
5. 137 Christenson Court, PIN 14-30-24-32-0289.
Ms. Smith stated this property is a detached rambler-style townhome on slab. The 2007
estimated market value is $218,400. After doing a sales analysis of this property and using sales
of similar townhomes throughout Anoka County, the determined value is $218,700. Sales in this
particular townhome area were looked at. It is her recommendation that the value be affirmed at
$218,400.
Curtis Britz, owner, stated he did not agree with the figure. The house is 1,193 square feet. It is
a basic two bedroom townhouse on a slab. There is one townhome in the area for sale. It is
1,800 finished square feet and they are asking $224,900. Fridley housing sales were very flat for
2006.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked about how similar the property is to 120 Christenson?
Ms. Smith stated it is the same square footage and it is a detached rambler on slab, which is the
same as the subj ect property.
Mr. Britz stated that house sold in June for $196,000. It was on Rottlund's premium lot and it
cost $10,000 to get that lot.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked about the property at 136 Christenson Court. That sold for
$226,000
Ms. Smith stated that is a two-story, detached townhome.
Mr. Britz stated two of the townhomes similar to his actually sold for less than the original
purchase price. He stated he has been a homeowner since 1951 and has never had a house
valued more than what he could sell it for.
Rick Wolfe, 960 Hathaway Lane, said he sold one of the properties Mr. Britz mentioned about a
year ago for $234,900. It was a two-story, and it just sold for $219,000. He said Mr. Britz could
not sell the house for what it is valued at.
Ms. Smith mentioned that their values are based on sales that occurred from October 1, 2005,
through September 30, 2006.
William Burns, City Manager, asked if that was the State's requirement.
BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION MEETING OF APRIL 9, 2007 PAGE 5
Ms. Smith said that is what the State looks at and it is the State's requirement.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the property at 120 Christenson was very similar.
Ms. Smith said they are both ramblers on slabs and detached.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the City could review it and bring it back to the next
meeting.
Ms. Smith stated she could bring it back to the next meeting. She said all the townhomes are
basically the same and that townhome is probably valued the same.
Councilmember Saefke stated he agrees with his colleagues that if one townhome is basically
the same type, he thinks the appraisal should be the same for Mr. Britz's or less.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Britz if it was possible for him to get an appraisal.
Mr. Britz stated the other townhome they are talking about is a premium lot, a$10,000 upgrade,
and that sold for $196,000.
Ms. Smith stated the next meeting would be Apri123.
Mr. Britz stated he did not think he needs to get an appraisal.
Mayor Lund stated whether the value has gone up $14,000 in a year is the real question.
MOTION by Councilmember Saefke to continue Case No. 5, 137 Christenson Court, PIN
14-30-24-32-0289 until April 23, 2007. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
6. 5466 West Bavarian Pass, PIN 24-30-24-44-0099.
Ms. Smith stated this property is an attached split, foyer-style townhome. The 2007 estimated
market value is $227,300. After doing a sales analysis of this property and using sales of similar
units in the immediate area, the determined value is $250,400. It is her recommendation that the
value be affirmed at $227,300.
Councilmember Lund stated he assumed her recommendation is substantially lower than the
comparables he sees. He assumes the figure at the bottom average, after adjustments, of
$250,353 is the average of the comparables and the subject property?
Ms. Smith stated it was the average of the comparables after adjustments have been made.
BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION MEETING OF APRIL 9, 2007 PAGE 6
Ronald Cadieux, 5466 West Bavarian Pass, asked about the different amounts on the tan and
blue sheets he received from the County.
Ms. Smith went over the two values.
Mr. Cadieux stated in the real world the market valuation that he is paying is out of sight. It is
not reality.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if there would be changes next year in the valuation of some of
these properties.
Ms. Smith replied at this time they do not think so. The sales that are coming through are still
holding above the City's estimated market values. So they really cannot say that sales are flat. It
is just a very slow market right now.
Councilmember Saefke pointed out what has to be taken into consideration, too, is a willing
seller and a willing buyer.
Mr. Cadieux stated the realtor he talked to about the Innsbruck area stated there are always
exceptions. The general rule is everything has either stopped selling or they are making offers
which are considerably lower. He stated he had an appraised value done on his house last year
because he was thinking about selling it. It was at $240,000 and the realtor told him to figure on
$225,000. The people doing the appraisals are charging $400, and they do an appraisal that the
loaning company wants to hear.
MOTION by Councilmember Varichak to affirm the estimated market value of $227,300 on the
property at 5466 West Bavarian Pass, PIN 24-30-24-44-0099. Seconded by Councilmember
Bolkcom.
Councilmember Barnette stated he assumed Mr. Cadieux still has the right to appeal.
Ms. Smith replied, yes.
Mayor Lund stated he did not have any questions on this one. He thinks they did a fair job in
giving Mr. Cadieux an estimate.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
7. 5297 Matterhorn Drive, PIN 24-30-44-43-0008.
Ms. Smith stated this property is a rambler style single-family home. It consists of 1,464 square
feet on the main floor with a full basement. The 2007 estimated market value is $297,100. After
doing a sales analysis of this property, and using sales of homes in this area, the determined
value is $332,800. It is her recommendation to the Board that the 2007 estimated market value
of $297,100 be affirmed.
BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION MEETING OF APRIL 9, 2007 PAGE 7
Mayor Lund asked Ms. Smith had spoken to the property owner. .
Lynn Krachmer, City Appraiser, stated he went to the house, inspected the house, and talked
about it with Ms. Griffith. He stated the house is dated. Real close to her house there was a
much smaller house that sold for $275,000.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked what his definition of being dated is. She said if the house had
a brand new kitchen, what his appraisal would be.
Mr. Crashmen replied, an increase of $25,000 to $30,000.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if Ms. Griffin was informed that she needed to be at the
meeting.
Mr. Krachmer said Ms. Griffin said she would be at the meeting.
Councilmember Bolkcom said even if they affirm the value, Ms. Griffin would not be able to
appeal because she did not appear.
Ms. Smith replied, yes.
MOTION by Councilmember Saefke to affirm the estimated market value of $297,100 for 5297
Matterhorn Drive, PIN 24-30-24-43-0008. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.

MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Ms. Smith stated Ms. Griffith called on Friday to say she was going to be at the meeting and that
her son who lived on Tempo Terrace was also going to be present. That is the next case. They
do not need to hear the case if he is not in the audience.
8. 7545 Tempo Terrace, PIN 11-30-24-11-0044.

Ms. Smith stated the property is an office building with 4,000 square feet. The property owner,
Gerald Foss, brought in lease information late this afternoon. She has not had time to review the
information nor look at sales of similar property. The 2007 estimated market value is $431,700
or $107.93 a square foot. The Board may choose to affirm the present value and allow the

whether he would be back in town for the second meeting. The 2007 estimated market value is
$807,900 or $46.97 a square foot. It is her recommendation at this time that the Board affirm the

Presentation — Water Main Flushin�
Kory Jorgensen, said they will be starting the water main flushing at Commons Park The main
reason is to remove iron and manganese in the water that gets built up in the system and to make
sure the fire hydrants work They make notes on every hydrant including the location, how the
water started, how long it ran, and if there was any maintenance. It takes about three weeks, with
two guys, to do the whole system. There are about 1,200 hydrants. In the fall they do the
hydrants on the dead ends. There are about 150 of those.

Tom Myhra, 6360 Able Street NE, spoke briefly about affordable housing in Fridley.
PUBLIC HEARING:
8. Consideration of a 3.2% Malt Liquor and Wine License for Chris & Rob's Chicago
Taste Authority, Generally Located at 7429 East River Road N.E. (Ward 3).
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 8:31 P.M.
Richard Pribyl, Finance Director, stated Mr. Robert Dubnecay is the owner and is applying for
licenses. The business has been open for six months, and they would now like to add wine and
3.2 malt liquor. Mr. Dubnecay currently operates another restaurant in south Minneapolis under
the same name. With the issuance of these two licenses, it will create similar venues between the
two restaurants. Staff has provided the stipulations that go along with the licenses for Mr.
Dubnecay. The Police Department completed their investigation as required by the City Code
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 9, 2007 PAGE 4
and found no reason to deny the license. Mr. Dubnecay is aware of the separation between the
public hearing itself and the issuance of the licenses if they should approve them.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to close the public hearing. Seconded by
Councilmember Saefke.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:42 P.M.
OLD BUSINESS:
9. Second Reading of an Ordinance Amending Chapters 602, 603, and 606 of the
Fridley City Code Creating a Patio Endorsement for Licensed On-Sale Liquor
Establishments; and Adopt Official Title and Summary Ordinance.
Richard Pribyl, Finance Director, stated since the first reading of this ordinance, the
Minnesota State Senate passed SF 1238, which legislates an issue associated with secondhand
smoke. It appears it would also impact activity associated with food and beverages on patios of
restaurants. The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Higher Education and Work
Force Development Policy and Finance Division. Since the bill is still in motion and we are not
sure of the impact and what it would have on the proposed ordinance, staff recommends Council
table the second reading of this ordinance until after the legislative session is over, which should
be around May 21. If the bill dies during the legislative session, staff would bring the resolution
back for further consideration as soon as possible thereafter. He said we are concerned that the
legislation could negatively impact this ordinance and force the City to modify it and bring it into
compliance with the new State statute.
Councilmember Bolkcom said the bill says that food and beverages cannot be served outside if
there is smoking permitted outside.
Mr. Pribyl stated that is how they understand it.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to table the second reading of this ordinance until
June 11, 2007. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
10. Consideration of an Intoxicating Liquor License for AMF Bowling Centers, Inc.,
d/b/a Maple Lanes, Generally Located at 6310 Highway 65 N.E. (Ward 2).
Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated the City Council held a public hearing related to the
renewal of the on-sale liquor license on March 26, 2007. Council took testimony at that meeting
and closed the public hearing. For the period of 2002 through 2003 a public hearing and
revocation hearing was held and the revocation was tabled for a period of six months. The
license was issued with the stipulation of a six-month review and, after the six-month period, the
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 9, 2007 PAGE 5
license was issued without conditions. Also for 2005 through 2006 the public hearing was held
and the public hearing was continued for a period of six months. The license was issued again
with the stipulation of a six-month review. After six months, the license was continued with no
stipulations. Staff has prepared a resolution of revocation for consideration. Similar to past
action of the City Council, the resolution could be tabled for six months and the license could be
approved with the stipulation that AMF provide monthly profit and loss statements indicating the
food to liquor ratio. This action would bring this matter back before the Council for
reconsideration on October 8, 2007.
Councilmember Saefke stated he understands the concerns of his colleagues. On the other
hand, he thinks that Maple Lanes has been a well-established business in the City for many,
many years. He asked when the new management took over.
Linda Steeves, General Manager of Maple Lanes, said she believed it was early last year.
Councilmember Saefke stated he did notice for the first several months of this year it did not
seem there was much of a problem. Apparently AMF has committed $100,000 plus for
refurbishment.
Ms. Steeves stated $130,000 minimum is what they have budgeted right now to redo the
bathrooms, reseal the parking lot, etc.
Councilmember Saefke asked if any permits have been pulled.
Ms. Steeves replied she was told to pull the permits for the bathrooms.
Councilmember Saefke commented that would probably make the place more appealing. He
said the kitchen area has undergone several reinventions. He asked if they were planning on
doing anything in that area.
Ms. Steeves stated she believed the kitchen was updated a couple of years ago. Part of the
problem is training the staff to offer the food. That is something she is working on very hard on.
Councilmember Saefke asked how much influence corporate headquarters had over Ms.
Steeves as a the local manager in keeping promises that were made. He asked if they were
willing to shut down the bar if the anticipation was that they were not able to make the quota.
Ms. Steeves replied they do have the backing of corporate headquarters if they need to do that to
meet their quota.
Councilmember Saefke stated he is not anti-business and he does not want to see Maple Lanes
go under. It would be his recommendation to table the motion for six months and monitor it very
closely.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated they heard the similar things from previous management, as
they heard the kitchen was updated some time ago. She asked what makes this different. If this
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 9, 2007 PAGE 6
is tabled for six months, what happens in two months if they are down to, for example, 18
percent. She said she has no idea how many people bowl in the summertime. She asked if they
had leagues.
Ms. Steeves replied they have a lot less. The goal right now is to go with 250.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that is her only concern is that two months down the line, they
wait six months, and then they are very close again and after six months, they come back again
before Council, and say it was the summertime and took a while because they had to close the
bathrooms down.
Councilmember Saefke stated a bowling alley, as noted under State Statute, is a little different
than an ordinary restaurant. It is more of a recreational-type thing and they do have certain
leagues. For all practical purposes, what Mr. Strachota said was right. People are either going to
go home for supper and go bowling after supper. One of the suggestions he had heard from
someone who does bowl on a league at Maple Lanes was that they might want to talk with the
captains and tell them if they want to have a beer or a cocktail they need to start buying some
food. He said he heard they would be offering things like chicken wings and other snacks. He
asked if that had been offered before.
Ms. Steeves said they would be offering that on the new menu. She did not know about the prior
menus. She said they will be doing their own monitoring.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated a positive thing is Maple Lanes does have the ability now to
do their own monitoring.
Mayor Lund said the food at Maple Lanes was good. He is not ready to revoke their liquor
license at 29 percent when the ratio was set at 30 percent. He does want the management to
know that they have made considerations for the bowling alley. They were a lot closer to
making the 40 percent before and now they are under 30 percent. He said they would not go
lower. He said if they cannot accomplish something in six months, he will agree with the
revocation.
MOTION by Councilmember Varichak to table the resolution revoking the Intoxicating Liquor
License for AMF Bowling Centers, Inc., d/b/a Maple Lanes, Generally Located at 6310 Highway
65 N.E. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
1. Second Reading of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 602 of the Fridley City Code
Updating Language to be Consistent with State Law Pertaining to 3.2% Malt
Liquor; and Adopt Official Title and Summary Ordinance.
Councilmember Barnette asked for clarification about the alcohol content of beer when it is
paired with wine in a City-issued license.
Don Abbott, Director of Public Safety, stated Chapter 602 would license an establishment to sell
malt liquor up to 3.2 percent alcohol. An intoxicating liquor license issued under Chapter 603 of
our Code would allow an establishment or a licensee to sell basically any legal intoxicating
liquor.
Mr. Pribyl stated under State Statute, it actually does allow the City to amend their ordinance to
include the stronger beer if they hold a wine license and if they actually maintain the minimum
of 60 percent food.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to waive the reading of the ordinance and adopt the
ordinance on second reading and adopt the official title and summary ordinance. Seconded by
Councilmember Saefke.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
4. Approve 2007-2008 Liquor License Renewals.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated there are a couple of businesses very close to the food to liquor
ratio. The Billiard Street Cafe is very close at 42-58 and she knows that was a concern because
they are open later and they have not had their license for very long. She asked if they could
send them notice letting them know. With respect to the Knights of Columbus, it says they
failed 2 out of 2 tobacco compliance checks and also says they were closed during one of the
checks. She asked if they failed because they were not open.
Debra Skogen, City Clerk, stated there were three compliance checks done for tobacco, and
they were not open for one of them.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the license for the Fridley Crab House will be on the agenda
for the next meeting.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 9, 2007 PAGE 8
Ms. Skogen said they are still waiting for information on their food to liquor ratio and their
bond. She has made numerous calls to them.
Councilmember Bolkcom said because their license expires at the end of April, if they let it
expire, does a public hearing need to be held if they let it expire.
Attorney Knaak replied basically, yes.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated they should probably send them a letter advising them of this.
Ms. Skogen said they will send them a letter.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to approve the 2007-2008 Liquor License Renewals.
Seconded by Councilmember Varichak.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
11. Informal Status Reports.
Don Abbott, Public Safety Director, said "Severe Storms Awareness Week" is April 9 through
April 13.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated the spring recycling drop-off day will be held on Saturday,
April 14, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Public Works garage.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated the Earth Day Fair will be held on Saturday, Apri121.
Councilmember Bolkcom also mentioned they have many trees that are not being sold.
Dr. Burns stated to order trees contact the Parks and Recreation at 572-3570.
Councilmember Saefke thanked the Police Department and its staff. He attended the block
captains meeting, and he was very impressed by the presentations and all the officers and staff.
He also mentioned there are packets available for people who would like to become block
captains.
Chief Abbott stated there is still time to apply to be a block captain. Contact Myra Harris at the
Fridley Police Department at 572-3629.
Councilmember Barnette mentioned there will be a reception on April 27, 2007, at the Fridley
Community Center from 10:30 a.m. to noon in honor of Sergeant Dave Prois who is retiring.
Councilmember Bolkcom also wanted to thank everyone who attended the Comprehensive Plan
meetings.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 9, 2007 PAGE 9
Dr. Burns stated information about those meetings should be on the website very soon.
Mayor Lund mentioned the Historical Society is having their annual fundraiser dinner and
auction at Broadway Pizza, downstairs, on Saturday, Apri128.

Resolution request MnDOT eliminate proposed Noise Walls on TH47 & TH65 north of
73rd Ave.
MnDOT conducted a noise mitigation study to determine areas along the highways in the state that
exceed state and federal noise standards. MnDOT developed a construction program to build noise
walls in each of these areas prioritized by proximity to residential density and cost effectiveness of the
project.
This pro�qram included the east side of TH47 from 73rd Ave to Osborne Rd and the west side of TH65
from 73r Ave to 1/3rd mile north for 2007 or 2008. After discussing this with staff and Council, it was
determined that this construction was not appropriate for our community at this time. The attached
resolution requests MnDOT eliminate these projects from consideration until such time as the adjacent
highways are expanded.
Recommend the City Council adopt the attached resolution for the elimination of proposed noise walls
on TH47 and TH65 from MnDOTS current noise mitigation projects.

Approval of Final Costs for Well #5 and Well #10 Repair Contracts
The City Council at its February 12, 2007 meeting awarded the repair contract for well #5 to
E.H. Renner and Sons, Inc. of Elk River, MN and for Well #10 to Bergerson-Caswell, Inc. of
Maple Plain, MN based on submitted bid information for base items and for alternate items. It
was explained at that time that the total extent of the repairs could not be determined until the
wells had been removed and inspected.
Well #5 has a submersible pump and motor connected by a cable to a Variable Frequency
Drive at the surface. The motor and cable were replaced in 1992 after a lightning strike. The
VFD went out in 2005 and was not replaced due to how close this budgeted repair project was.
The inspection revealed that the seals were bad allowing water into the motor. This motor has
already been reconditioned once since installation. The cable was checked and found to have
three faulty spots and therefore no longer provides the proper conductivity. We recommend
replacement of the motor at a cost of $27,870 rather than a second reconditioning at a cost of
$12,300 + parts and no warrantee. We also recommend replacement of the cable at a cost of
$14,440. Re-use of the old cable would void any warranty on the new motor. The final cost for
the full repair of Well #5 is $60,697.
Well #10 has a surface pump and motor and pickup suction tube to a depth of approximately
104ft. The well history shows that this is the original 1969 100HP motor with two rebuilds in
1985 and 1990. The current inspection indicates that this motor has been running over heated
for significant periods of time. This is often an indication of an underpowered / overloaded
motor. We recommend replacement of the motor with a 125 HP high efficiency motor at a cost
of $7,891 with a 3 year warrantee. Xcel offers rebates on this type of upgrade of $16.50 / HP
resulting in a net cost of $5,918.50. Other necessary repairs included replacement of several
sections of column pipe, shaft, couplings, bearings, and reconditioning of the pump bowl
totaling $14,455.00. The final cost for the full repair to well #10 is $20,373.50.
Only $65,000 was budgeted for this project. Our now known total cost for this project is
$81,070.50 or approximately $16,000.00 more. This is the first time this project has exceeded
budgeted costs. The 2007 Street Reconstruction Project had $100,000 budgeted for
improvements. Approved bid items total only about $63,000, or $37,000 under budgeted
expenses. We recommend this be used to cover the unanticipated expenses for the well repair
project.
Recommend the City Council approve the above final costs for repair of wells #5 and #10.
