Councilmember Saefke
asked how many days there were from the first notice to the second and
final notice.
Ms. Rybak
replied the violation is inputted into the system on the first violation. It will be re-
inspected on the fifteenth day. If it has been care of, the violation will be closed out of system.
If the violation is not taken care of, they will have 5 days to remedy the situation. If it is not
remedied in 5 days, the abatement process will start. When tagging vehicles they only have 5
days, grass violation they have 10 days. If the vehicle isn’t taken care of it is towed and if the
grass is not, it is mowed charged to the homeowner.
Councilmember Saefke
noted that there is 35 days to remedy the situation before it reaches
abatement.
CouncilmemberBolkcom
added that a car only has 5 days and grass 10 days.
Ms. Rybak
stated that staff will work with residents if there are extenuating circumstances that
the violation cannot be taken care of within these timeframes.
CouncilmemberBolkcom
reminded people that there is a valet service for garbage for those
who cannot bring their garbage cans to the curb.
CouncilmemberVarichak
asked why some residents have five containers at their home.
Ms. Rybak
replied that two residents had five containers and it was more common for residents
to have 4 containers. Some have extra garbage and recycle containers. Some could be daycare
providers or other business that produces more garbage.
Councilmember Saefke
added that it could be a rental unit.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 8, 2014 PAGE 3

If people want a larger recycling cart they can request one.
Councilmember Saefke

Wally Wysopal
, City Manager, thanked Hannah for all her work. He said she did a great job

OPEN FORUM:
Christine Belland
, 1322 Hillcrest Drive NE, stated that on June 17 her daughter attended Safety
Camp and was injured. Ms. Belland did not get a phone call from anyone from Safety Camp
about this incident. She was told they did not call parents for cuts, bumps or scrapes. Her
daughter flew into a pole and her adult teeth came lose and one fell out. She was told her
daughter did not lose her tooth at Safety Camp. Her daughter came home with a bloody fat lip
and she took her to urgent care and had an emergency dental visit. Ms. Belland has been waiting
to hear from the City for two months to resolve the charges she had to pay that her insurance did
not cover. There was an emergency dental charge of $171 and doctor bill for $63. Through Ms.
Belland investigation she has learned that her daughter was seen by a paramedic who is refusing
to talk to her insurance company until a consent form was signed. She said Myra Harris was not
very good at communicating with her on this situation. She said after her daughter fell, she went
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 8, 2014 PAGE 5
on to play throughout the day and thought she was okay. Ms. Belland would like a reply from
the City on this incident. It has been dragged on for too long.
Mayor Lund
said Council was apprised of this recently and they have only heard City staffs’
side of the story. It is not unheard of that someone could get hurt at this camp but he did not
know of the details about her teeth.
Ms. Belland
added that her daughter had paint on her tooth from the fall but it has been polished
off. Her daughter went two weeks without being able to eat solid food. She had to eat soft food.
Her adult teeth seem to be healing.
Wally Wysopal,
City Manager, apologized to Ms. Belland that this happened and said this is not
something they like to see at Safety Camp. Since this incident, staff has looked at the procedures
on how and when to contact parents, and they are in the process of getting back to her with a
letter when the investigation is finished. Staff has been working with the insurance company and
doing a separate investigation on their own.
Mayor Lund
said that it seems that the paramedics saw her and she did cut her lip but finished
out the day. If the paramedic had a concern, the parent would have been contacted. Evidently,
the paramedic thought it was minor. He asked if this happened in the morning or afternoon.
Ms. Belland
replied that it happened at lunchtime. After camp her daughter went to Tiger Club,
and they could not believe Safety Camp did not call her.
Mayor Lund
stated that the City is doing an internal investigation and it sounds like Ms.
Belland will be contacted this week.
ADOPTION OF AGENDA:
MOTION
by Councilmember Bolkcom to adopt the agenda. Seconded by Councilmember
Saefke.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
PUBLIC HEARING/NEW BUSINESS:
8.Consideration of Issuing an On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor License to Leslie Bellamy,
Scott Beit and Daniel Nelson for Banquets of Minnesota, Inc., located at 6310 Highway
65
and
Motion to Approve the Liquor License for Banquets of Minnesota, Inc. (Ward 2).
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 8, 2014 PAGE 6
MOTION
by Councilmember Varichak to open the public hearing. Seconded by
Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 7:26 P.M.
Deb Skogen
, City Clerk, stated that Leslie Bellamy and partners Daniel Nelson and Scott Beitz
have applied for an on-sale intoxicating liquor license to operate Banquets of Minnesota, a
restaurant/event center at 6310 Highway 65 NE. Section 603.07 of the City Code requires a
public hearing be held to consider the on-sale intoxicating liquor license. Notice of public
hearing was published in the Fridley SunFocus on August 22, 2014, meeting the ten-day advance
notice requirement.
Ms. Skogen
said after meeting with the partners of Banquets of Minnesota, staff had to
determine the following:
Whether an event center would meet the definition of a restaurant;
Whether the City could regulate a business that operated with a State Caterer’s Permit; or
Whether the premises was eligible for a liquor license.
Staff discussed this issue with Anoka County (County) and the State Alcohol Gambling
Enforcement Division (AGED) to determine if the business would meet the definition of a
restaurant. The County issues two types of licenses, one for a caterer’s kitchen and one for a
restaurant. The County considers it to be a restaurant and has issued a restaurant license. A
State Caterer’s license allows a licensed on-sale intoxicating liquor establishment to sell food
and liquor off-site when catering events. AGED states that it is generally allowable, but was not
meant to circumvent local ordinances. AGED has licensed other banquet/event centers in nearby
communities such as Courtyards of Andover and the Fountains of Ramsey.
Ms. Skogen
noted City Code, Section 603.09.2, states, “an on-sale intoxicating liquor license
may not be issued within 400 feet of a church.” Prior to closing Maple Lanes, a small mission
purchased the small building and property formerly known as Viking Trophy. Section 603.09.2
also states that “the erection of a church after an original application has been granted shall not,
in and of itself, render such premises ineligible.” Based on staff’s findings that the state and
county defined the event center as a restaurant, an on-sale intoxicating liquor licenses would
allow the City to regulate the business, and since the premises had a liquor license prior to the
purchase by the Mission, it does not disqualify the premises from having a liquor license.
Ms. Skogen
stated a final meeting with Banquets of Minnesota was held and Banquets of
Minnesota revised their business plan to include a Sunday brunch. They are also looking at the
feasibility of creating an evening buffet open to the public. They cut down on the number of pre-
scheduled events until the license is approved and understood the requirement of food to liquor
sales, and believed they will have an average of 80% food sales and 20% liquor sales.
Ms. Skogen
said this will be a successful business bringing visitors to the City of Fridley. The
Police Department completed their background investigation and found no issues with the
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 8, 2014 PAGE 7
business or issues with their liquor license in the City of Blaine. Section 603.07.1.D. allows the
City Council to approve the liquor license on the same night as the public hearing. Staff
recommends the following actions:
1.Hold Public Hearing for an on-sale intoxicating liquor license for Banquets of Minnesota;
2.Motion approving on-sale intoxicating liquor license to Leslie Bellamy, Applicant for
Banquets of Minnesota located at 6310 Highway 65 NE.
Councilmember Barnette
said it did not seem like the 60/40 ratio was going to be an issue. He
said back in the day, banquets used to be BYOB and asked if that would be allowed.
Ms. Skogen
replied no; they would furnish all the alcohol.
Councilmember Varichak
asked if the cooking would be done on site.
Ms. Skogen
replied yes. There will be a full kitchen on site to prepare the main dish, and they
may bring in other items that would go with the dish. Everything would be cooked on site.
Councilmember Varichak
asked why they are coming to Fridley, and how they planned to
promote this banquet event center to get people to come to Fridley to use the facility. She also
asked about the capacity of the facility.
Ms. Skogen
replied they saw a great opportunity and currently had something going in Blaine
and wanted to expand to Fridley.
Councilmember Varichak
asked how the 60/40 ratio would work with the event center because
it is not open all the time.
Ms. Skogen
replied the 60/40 looks at the gross food sales and gross alcohol sales.
Councilmember Varichak
asked if staff have heard anything from surrounding area businesses.
Ms. Skogen
replied she has not had any calls.
Mayor Lund
said he was glad they came in and was concerned with the activity that is going on
with no license being requested.
ScottBeitz,
Banquets of Minnesota, said he has owned a few other businesses and researched
the property in Blaine. He grew up in this area and likes this area. The Center is located in a
beautiful spot. He had been researching this spot and a commercial real estate representative
came to him and said a few other offers were coming in for this site. He submitted an offer and
has been working on remodeling the site. City staff has been great to work with.
Mr. Beitz
said in consideration of obtaining a restaurant license, Banquets of Minnesota, Inc.
intends to be open to the general public on Sundays for brunch, excluding any special or holiday
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 8, 2014 PAGE 8
weekends. Typical hours of operation are yet to be determined. Future plans are to create a
Wednesday evening event open to the public.
Mr. Beitz
said Banquets of Minnesota will serve meals that are regularly served at tables to the
general public. Menu or buffet food would include such choices as: Build your own omelet,
carved turkey, roast beef, sausage, fruit bar, salad bar, pasta salads, dessert buffet. Banquets of
Minnesota will employ adequate staff and operations will be under the control of an on-site
manager.
Mr. Beitz
said restaurant seating will be held in a 5,000 square foot room on the east end of the
building. The room has a comfortable seating capacity of 250 people. This allows for menu or
buffet style serving. Server stations will be located on the north end of the room along with bus
person stations. Banquets of Minnesota will maintain a full service, full commercial kitchen.
The kitchen area measures over 1,300 square feet and would be inordinately equipped to handle
the demand. The operating system installed and available for use is Aloha. This system is one
of the most widely used, and allows for many different types of payment options. These options
include, but are not limited to: Cash, Check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
Mr. Beitz
said a survey and audit were completed to obtain figures for compliance to the 60/40
laws. They referenced a “like business” and used real data to deduce their projected ratio. The
projected percentages are as follows: food sales revenue 82% and liquor sales revenue 18%.
Mr. Beitz
said he would like to see a hotel in the area. He has some local hotels they work with
that will shuttle guests from this facility to the hotel. They are working with the Bethel Mission
building and have done some work on the parking lot. His company agreed to donate some labor
to help fix up the exterior of their building and hopes to start a trend to fix up this area. It’s a
nice area.
Mayor Lund
said he is happy they have come into Fridley and taken a closed building and
revitalized it. He wished them the best of luck with their business. He would like to see a hotel
in Fridley too.
Mr. Beitz
said the Vivian room capacity is 250 and the Olympian room is 400. Their other
facility in Blaine is busy and oftentimes cannot offer people the date they are looking for. They
plan to advertise through word of mouth, at wedding fairs, shows out of state and online. They
have had compliments from people who have attended their Blaine site that it is one of the nicest
places they have seen.
Councilmember Saefke
is confident this will be a success. He asked if they had a price on their
Sunday brunch yet.
Leslie Bellamy
, Banquets of Minnesota, said it will be under $20 and comparable to what is
offered in the area. They have not completed their research on how much the brunch will cost.
Mr. Beitz
added the cost may vary depending on what is on the menu.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 8, 2014 PAGE 9
Councilmember Saefke
said brunch places are packed on Sunday mornings. This site is close
to churches which will provide customers.
MOTION
by Councilmember Barnette to close the public hearing. Seconded by
Councilmember Varichak.

9.Resolution Consenting to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City
of Fridley, Minnesota, Adopting a 2014 Tax Levy Collectible in 2015.
Darin Nelson,
Finance Director, said Minnesota Statutes authorize HRAs to levy properties
within their community to support housing and redevelopment efforts. The levy is equal to
.0185% of taxable market value and the 2015 levy will allow HRA to collect $360,487. The
impact on taxpayer is as follows:
$150,000 home - $27.75
$1 million commercial property - $185.00
Mr. Nelson
said the HRA approved the levy on September 4. State Statutes require the consent
of the City Council prior to the tax levy becoming effective. The levy needs to be certified and
delivered to the County by September 15, 2015. Staff recommends Council’s approval.
MOTION
by Councilmember Saefke to adopt Resolution No. 2014-64. Seconded by
Councilmember Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
th
10.Resolution Approving the Installation Agreements for 69 Avenue Street and Trail
Crossing (DOT No. 463548D), an Installation Agreement for the Stinson Boulevard
Street Crossing (DOT No. 463547W) and Directing Mayor and City Manager to
Execute and Enter into Said Agreements.
Jim Kosluchar,
Public Works Director, stated in 2010, City staff requested MnDOT perform an
th
evaluation on the railroad crossing at 69 Avenue between Central Avenue and Stinson
Boulevard. MnDOT evaluated the existing condition of the crossing and determined that it was
in need of safety improvements, with potential for federal funding. This began discussions with
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 8, 2014 PAGE 10
Minnesota Commercial Railway, MnDOT and the City of New Brighton to identify
opportunities to improve the railroad crossing.
Mr. Kosluchar
said the conditions at this crossing have significantly deteriorated over the years,
requiring regular maintenance by the Street Division. In 2010, a major repaving of the crossing
was performed with the assistance of a paving contractor. This was a stopgap repair until a
permanent reconstruction could be completed. Due to the elevation of the road above the tracks
and the skewed crossing angle, any asphalt paving solution is only temporary.
Mr. Kosluchar
said in addition, the geometry of the crossing is difficult and results in confusing
th
control of traffic. Eastbound vehicles on 69 Avenue turning southbound to Stinson Boulevard
cut the southwest corner of the intersection to avoid the tracks. The crossing lacks trail
surfacing, which dead-ends on the west side of the railroad tracks.
Mr. Kosluchar
said an intersection with five legs exists within and just east of railroad right-of-
th
way, including a redundant connection to 69 Avenue in New Brighton (Spring Creek Drive).
Improvements at the crossing include: Installation of pre-cast concrete surfacing on the roadway
th
crossings and trail extension and installation of signal gate arms and flashers on 69 Avenue.
The concrete surfacing cost is the responsibility of the road authority. MnDOT secured
$195,000 in funding for the signal gate arms and flashers.
Mr. Kosluchar
said the MnDOT funding is contingent on closure of one of the roadway
crossings. Through work with the City of New Brighton, Spring Creek Drive was identified as
the most feasible crossing to close. Under the proposed plan, Spring Creek Drive would be
connected to Stinson Boulevard south of the railroad crossing. The roadway serves six single-
family properties.
Mr. Kosluchar
said three agreements are being presented for approval. These identify the costs
thth
for the concrete surfacing of Stinson Boulevard, 69 Avenue, and the 69 Avenue Trail. New
Brighton has agreed to share 50% of the cost to construct the crossing surface on Stinson
Boulevard. The costs associated with these crossing surfaces are based on estimates as follows:
Description Funding Source Estimated Amount
RR x-ing across 69th Ave (street) Fridley - MSAS $47,760
RR x-ing across 69th Ave (trail) Fridley - MSAS $ 5,142
RR x-ing across Stinson Blvd (street) Fridley - MSAS $ 8,610
RR x-ing across Stinson Blvd (street) New Brighton $ 8,610
The total cost for the City of Fridley is estimated at $61,512. These are State Aid eligible costs.
Mr. Kosluchar
said the costs are more significant than a typical railway crossing due to the
th
length of the crossing imposed by the skewed intersection with 69 Avenue. There is no feasible
change to alignment. The cost per foot is lower than the $300 to $1,000 cited by MnDOT as
typical. As these are estimated costs. The actual costs are to be paid under the agreements.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 8, 2014 PAGE 11
Mr. Kosluchar
stated Minnesota Commercial Railway will perform the installations of the
concrete surfacing, gates, and warning lights. Fridley and New Brighton will reimburse
Minnesota Commercial Railway upon receipt of tabulated costs. The cities are responsible for
roadway traffic control during the work, and matching surfacing.
Mr. Kosluchar
stated Minnesota Commercial Railway will maintain improvements through
their life cycle, at which time reconstruction would be negotiated (likely after 2050). The design
th
of the crossing is being coordinated with the 69 Avenue rehabilitation planned for 2015 in the
approved CIP. New Brighton and Fridley will enter into a joint powers agreement for redesign
and construction of the Spring Creek Drive relocation.
Mr. Kosluchar
said staff requests the City Council move to adopt the attached resolution
including exhibits on pages 48-54 approving the Crossing Surface Installation Agreements for
the 69th Avenue Street and Trail Crossing (DOT No. 463548D), and Crossing Surface
Installation Agreement for the Stinson Boulevard Street Crossing (DOT No. 463547W), and
directing the Mayor and City Manager to execute and enter into said agreements. If approved,
staff will notify Minnesota Commercial Railway, MN/DOT, and the City of New Brighton of
approval, and make arrangements for coordination of crossing improvements to be installed this
fall.
Councilmember Saefke
said the crossing arms will have to sit far away from the track because
of the angle in the road. He asked if anyone considered that people may drive around the
crossing arms because they will be so far away from the tracks.
th
Mr. Kosluchar
replied the design of 69 Avenue may be changed but not until next summer. A
barrier may be able to be worked in this fall.
Councilmember Saefke
asked how many trains cross per day.
Mr. Kosluchar
replied 4.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked if the City was under any liability if the median was not put in
now.
Mr. Kosluchar
replied that MnDOT has approved this plan without the median. Full length
crossing arms will be installed with flashers which will be a big improvement as there is nothing
there now.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked if there would be less maintenance as this is guaranteed to
2050.
Mr. Kosluchar
replied that the railroad will maintain the lights, arms and concrete surface until
it is time to be replaced.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked if the City maintains the paving.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 8, 2014 PAGE 12
Mr. Kosluchar
replied yes, the concrete is beyond the rails so this concrete is better.
Mayor Lund
said it would be nice if the improvements were all made at the same time; then the
area would not have to be torn up again to add the median.
Mr. Kosluchar
replied there is a possibility the additional work could be done at the same time.
Mayor Lund
asked if the City is pouring concrete for both sides of the track if the curb could be
added at the same time.
Mr. Kosluchar
said they are bringing in concrete panels but that could possibly be done. It is
too early to commit to the extra work.
Mayor Lund
thought if it is done later asphalt would need to be cut and it would be a lot of
rework.
Mr. Kosluchar
added it would cause construction delays and traffic inconvenience again.
Mayor Lund
asked if the only cost sharing was the railroad crossing on Stinson; and if the redo
of Spring Creek Drive will be paid by the City of New Brighton; and if the engineering cost from
the City of Fridley will be shared.
Mr. Kosluchar
replied yes; they will pay their portion of engineering for that section.
Mayor Lund
noted on page 49, 51 and 53 exhibits are labeled “a” and “b” which are identical
but the digit is different for “c”.
Mr. Kosluchar
replied they started with two agreements and added another agreement. They
were identically numbered which is why the exhibits were labeled that way.
