OPEN FORUM, VISITORS:
Mr. Martinez
spoke about a letter he sent to Jim Kosluchar regarding the flooding of their
businesses. He asked Council to consider the minimum the group is asking for; which is the
second option. This would solve the issue and is what should have been done before.
Mayor Lund
said that Council did have a copy of the letter. Staff has been very interested in
trying to help him and the other businesses in that area. This had to be done correctly so
businesses downstream were not affected. Staff has to cooperate with other jurisdictions and the
County. It is not a simple fix. It all comes down to engineering and cost factors.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked what the next steps would be.
Jim Kosluchar
, Public Works Director, replied the option for added capacity and the higher
performing option is in draft form in the Capital Investment Program that was discussed at the
conference meeting tonight. Staff made sure that this is a prioritized project. The next step is to
make a final design and go out for bids which may happen this fall. The City needs to have a
discussion with the watershed district. If other funding sources are available, staff will try to
pursue them.

PUBLIC HEARING/NEW BUSINESS:
4.Consider Issuing an On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor License to Brad Slawson of Route 47

and
Motion to Approve an On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor License for Route 47 Pub & Grub,
Located at 7820 University Avenue N.E. (Ward 3).
MOTION
by Councilmember Varichak to open the public hearing. Seconded by
Councilmember Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 7:24 P.M.
Deb Skogen
, City Clerk, stated Brad Slawson has applied for an on-sale intoxicating liquor
license to operate Route 47 Pub & Grub, a restaurant located at 7820 University Ave NE
(formerly known as Pickle Park or The Park). Section 603.07 of the City Code requires a public
hearing be held to consider the on-sale intoxicating liquor license. A notice of the public hearing
was published in the Fridley SunFocus on June 30, 2017, meeting the ten day advance notice
requirement.
Ms. Skogen
said Mr. Slawson has experience in restaurant management and is the owner of
Route 65 Pub & Grub in Ham Lake. Mr. Slawson is aware of the food to liquor ratio and
understands the importance of food sales. The Police Department completed their background
investigation and found no issues with the business or the applicant.
Ms. Skogen
said 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:
Hold the Public Hearing for an on-sale intoxicating liquor license for Brad Slawson; and
Motion to approve on-sale intoxicating liquor license and other related business licenses
to Brad Slawson, Applicant, for Route 47 Pub & Grub located at 7820 University Avenue
NE.
th
Brad Slawson
said he appreciated Council’s support. This is his 12 year in the business, which
is focused on food, but they will have alcohol for sale plus entertainment on the weekends.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 10, 2017 PAGE 4
Route 65 is in their fifth year of business and they have never had a police officer called and they
work hard for that not to happen. He hopes to bring that to Route 47--offering good food, a safe
environment and fair pricing.
Councilmember Bolkcom
said if there is a situation where they need to call the police, they
should make sure they do that so things do not get out of hand. She asked when they were
opening.
Mr. Slawson
replied that they plan to open before or after Labor Day weekend. He stated they
train staff to call police if needed, and he would feel comfortable to call police for safety reasons.
They try hard to prevent that type of behavior.
MOTION
by Councilmember Bolkcom to close the public hearing. Seconded by
Councilmember Saefke.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:34 P.M.

MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
NEW BUSINESS:
5.First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Fridley City Charter, Chapter 7, Taxation
and Finances.
Deb Skogen,
City Clerk, stated Minnesota Statute Section 410.12, Subd. 7, allows for charter
amendment by ordinance upon recommendation of the Charter Commission. It requires a notice
of public hearing and publication of the full text of amendment at least two weeks prior to the
public hearing. On May 15, 2017 the Charter Commission recommended an amendment to
Chapter 7 to City Council. The public hearing was scheduled on May 22, 2017. The public
hearing notice and text of the amendment was published in the official newspaper on June 2,
2017. The public hearing was held on June 26, 2017, and there was no opposition to the
amendment.
Ms. Skogen
said the Charter Commission had discussed and reviewed Chapter 7 extensively
over the past year in light of budget constraints due to the restrictions placed in the Charter in
2000. The amendment to Section 7.02.1 proposes to remove the inflationary Consumer Price
Index (CPI), allowing Council to increase tax levy up to 5% over the previous year’s tax levy.
The Charter Commission also recommended the Council have the ability to increase the previous
year’s tax levy up to an additional 3% with an affirmative vote of four members of the City
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 10, 2017 PAGE 5
Council. A few other amendments were required to correct inconsistencies with Minnesota State
Law and general accounting standards.
Ms. Skogen
stated the amendment requires a first and second reading and a unanimous vote of
the City Council to become adopted. If adopted, the amendment becomes effective 90 days after
publication (Nov 2). Staff recommends waiving the reading and holding the first reading on the
proposed amendment to Fridley City Charter Chapter 7. Taxation and Finances.
David Ostwald,
6675 East River Road, Chair of the Charter Commission, said this decision was
not made lightly and the Charter Commission spent seven months going over data. The Charter
Commission consists of 15 members, and they came to an overwhelming agreement that the
Charter needed to be changed. There has been great support to send this to Council to vote on
this.
Mayor Lund
thanked the Charter Commission for their willingness to consider this change. He
feels confident and comfortable that Council will take this serious. For the last 17 years, Council
only had one choice when it came to the budget. If we were short, things had to be cut because
property taxes could not be raised. He appreciates the work of the Charter Commission.
Pat Gabel,
5947 – 2 ½ Street NE, stated the former Charter change was detrimental to the City
and she is in support of this change.
MOTION
by Councilmember Barnette to waive the reading of the ordinance and approve the
ordinance on first reading. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
6.First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Fridley City Code, Section 102.01, Disposal of
Lost and Stolen Property, to Allow for the Private Sale of Unclaimed Property to a
Nonprofit Organization with a Significant Mission of Community Service.
Deb Skogen,
City Clerk, stated the Police Department receives approximately 70 to 100 lost,
unclaimed or stolen bikes annually. Currently, City waits 60 days for the proper owner to claim a
bike. If unclaimed, bikes are auctioned off with the current auction company, Propertyroom.com.
The Police Department spends a significant amount of time entering data into
Propertyroom.com, labeling each bike, and assisting in loading the truck for pick-up.
Ms. Skogen
said the proceeds from sales are deposited to the City’s general fund. Bikes sell
from $6 to $25. The City receives 50% of the sale. The majority of bikes are sold in groups of
up to 10 bikes due to the condition of the bikes. In 2016, the City received $142 for bikes sold
on Propertyroom.com. Staff is looking for efficiency in disposing of unclaimed, lost or stolen
bikes. This amendment would save police staff time, allow for sale to a private local nonprofit
community organization. The bikes would be refurbished and repaired and distributed
throughout the community.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 10, 2017 PAGE 6
Ms. Skogen
said at this time, the Police Department would like to sell the bikes to the Fridley-
Columbia Heights Rotary Club at a cost of $2 per bike. The Rotary Club would work with Bikes
4 Kids to refurbish, repair and distribute bikes. The cities of Blaine, Lino Lakes, St. Paul and
Spring Lake Park are working with Bikes 4 Kids. Staff recommends a motion waiving the
reading and holding the first reading of the ordinance.
Brian Weierke
, Public Safety Director, said they are trying to give back to the community and
the way the ordinance reads now they have to sell the bikes through an auction. The amendment
makes sense and saves staff time. When a bike is found, they have to wait 60 days for the bike
to be claimed and after that it is abandoned property. This allows us to donate the bike for a
good cause.
MOTION
by Councilmember Saefke to waive the reading of the ordinance and approve the
ordinance on first reading. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
7.Resolution Approving and Authorizing Signing an Agreement with Sergeants of the
City of Fridley Police Department for the Years 2017, 2018 and 2019.
Debbie Dahl, Human Resources Director,
said the Police Sergeants (LELS Local #310) have
been unionized since 2003. They are one of three labor groups, and currently have six members.
In the future, they plan to move an inspector over, so there will be seven in all. The current
contract expired on December 31, 2017, and because they are essential employees, they cannot
strike. They must reach an agreement or it goes to arbitration. We met on three occasions to
discuss interests and could not reach a settlement. The Union filed for mediation with the
Bureau of Mediation Services. Mediation was conducted on June 15, 2017, which resulted in a
tentative agreement.
Ms. Dahl
said the Sergeants’ union recognizes the burdens of the City’s economic conditions
due to the levy restriction and the priorities of the new civic campus. Wages are always the
center of the discussions and the market was the primary issue with this unit with a desire to
remain competitive. The challenge has been to agree on which cities we compare to. Our
history has consistently showed that all groups (union and non-union) continue to lag behind the
market in base wages.
Ms. Dahl
stated in 2006, the City revised the general compensation policies and identified 15
cities that were believed to be similar in size, make-up, kinds of services provided, proximity,
etc. In 2015, the list was revised slightly by department managers. The Sergeants’ unit and the
City could not agree on a mutual list in order to determine the market. This resulted in working
with a mediator to come to an overall agreement. The key issues included good discussions, no
final list established and both parties agreed on the terms presented in the memo. Keeping pace
with the market is critical. Recruitment and retention is difficult if we do not remain competitive
and fair internally as well as with the market. Maintaining good relationships is essential with all
employees. The City’s interest is to establish fairness across all groups.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 10, 2017 PAGE 7
Ms. Dahl
reviewed the proposed Agreement:
3 Year Contract (2017-2019)
Insurance is the same as non-union.
Wages - 2.5% for 2017, 2.75% for 2018, 3.0% for 2019. Non-union employees
received 2% for 2017 and 2% is proposed for 2018.
Removed some outdated language
One additional holiday was added—from 11 to 12. The market shows peers are
providing 12 days.
Employees wanted to add $25 to their Retiree Health Savings Account (Employee $$
only)
Annual Tuition Reimbursement to $3,600 (up $675 from $2,925. One member is
currently enrolled.
Housekeeping and grammatical changes were made.
One additional member was added to the unit.
Retirements generated promotions.
Police Inspector changed to Sergeant.
Ms. Dahl
reviewed the costs summarized in the memo: $689,800 (2017); $779,768 (2018);
$812,127 (2019). It is estimated there will be an increase of $34,218 to the General Fund for
2017. This does not include overtime, shift differential or court time, which is unplanned. It
also does not include the possibility of the legislature changing the employer contributions for
the PERA pension (1.5% over 2 years). They have reached a tentative agreement with the Fire
Union and hope to bring that to Council at the next Council meeting. Patrol negotiations
continue, and a mediation has been scheduled for the end of August.
Ms. Dahl
said action is needed to approve the resolution adopting the tentative agreement which
will ratify the contract effective January 1, 2017. Retroactive pay will be applied within the next
few weeks. In conclusion, all labor groups and their representatives are very dedicated and
passionate. Requests were generally reasonable and discussions were amicable. She is grateful
for Director Weierke and Chief Berg for their participation and leadership. Arbitrations can be
very costly on both sides. Mediation is a good option. As an HR Director, she feels fortunate
that we have had few issues, grievances or arbitrations, which is an indication of good
relationships and trust going on behind the scenes to resolve problems and concerns.

by Councilmember Saefke to adopt Resolution No. 2017-33. Seconded by
Councilmember Bolkcom.

Date: July 14, 2017
Re: Second Reading of an Ordinance Amending Fridley City Code 102.01, Disposal
of Lost, Unclaimed and Stolen Property to Allow for the Private Sale of
Unclaimed Property to a Nonprofit Organization with a Significant Mission of
Community Service
The police department receives approximately 70-100 lost, unclaimed, or stolen bikes into police
storage inventory annually. According to Fridley City Code Chapter 102, we currently wait 60
days for the proper owner to claim their bike. If no one comes forward, the bikes are considered
unclaimed and auctioned off with our current auction company Propertyroom.com. Police
department staff spends a significant amount of time entering bike information into the
Propertyroom.com system before the bikes are picked-up by Propertyroom.com. In addition,
they assist in the labeling of each individual bike and help load them on to a truck for pick-up.
The proposed amendment would save police staff time by allowing the police department to
conduct a private sale of lost, unclaimed or abandoned bicycles at a price of $2.00 per bicycle to a
local non-profit community organization, for the purpose of refurbishing and repairing bicycles that
may be distributed to the youth within the community. The Fridley Columbia Heights Rotary Club
is interested in acquiring the bikes and working with Bikes 4 Kids, a non-profit located in Ham
Lake. The cities of Blaine, Lino Lakes, St. Paul and Spring Lake Park are currently participating
with the Bikes 4 Kids program. I spoke with Al Sannerud, Executive Director, and found they
will work with the Rotary Club and come to the City when requested to pick up our eligible
bikes with very little police staff time invoved.
The first reading was held on July 10, 2017. If the second reading is adopted, a resolution
approving the private sale of unclaimed bicycles to the Fridley Columbia Heights Rotary would
be in order.
Staff recommends the following actions:
1.A motion waiving the second reading and ordering the adoption of an ordinance amending
Fridley City Code Section 102.01, as shown in Attachment 1; and
2.A motion adopting a resolution approving the private sale of bicycles that have been
declared as unclaimed property to the Fridley Columbia Heights Rotary Club for the
calendar year 2017.

that Fridley City Code Chapter 102 related to Police be hereby amended and ordains as follows:

hold a public sale for the disposal of property lawfully coming into possession of the Fridley
Police Department in the course of municipal operation and remaining unclaimed by the owner
for a period of at least sixty (60) days. Disposition of such property may be by live public
auction, online public auction or, upon approval of the City Council, by private sale to a non-
profit organization that has a significant mission of community service. Public sales shall be
held at least annually., tThe proceeds from said such sales shall be deposited with the Treasurer
of the City of Fridley and become part of the General Fund. The former owner of sold property
shall have the right to payment of the sale price from the fund upon application and satisfactory
proof of ownership within the six (6) months of the sale. Notice of said public live auction sales
shall be given in a legal newspaper at least ten (10) days prior to said such sale. Any disposition
of property lawfully coming into possession of the Police Department may only occur after the
Police Department has made a reasonable effort to contact the legal owner of the property.

Stacy Stromberg,
Planner, stated the petitioner, Steve Carlson with Kurt Manufacturing
Company Inc., is requesting a preliminary plat to take two irregular shaped parcels and create
two rectangular shaped lots from the lots at 7585 Hwy 65 and the vacant lot to the east.
Ms. Stromberg
stated the subject properties are zoned M-4, Manufacturing Only. The
minimum lot size in this zoning district is 1 ½ acres. The replat will take (2) unplatted lots and
create (2) new rectangular shaped industrial lots. They will be legally described as Lot 1 and
Lot 2, Block 1, Kuban Addition. Lot 1 will be 252,051 square feet (5.78 acres) and Lot 2 will
be 212,138 square feet (4.87 acres) in size; therefore, meeting the minimum standards of the
zoning district. The purpose of replatting these lots is to allow Kurt Manufacturing to sell the
vacant piece of land along Central Avenue if that is something they would like to pursue.
Ms. Stromberg
stated City Staff recommends approval of this preliminary plat request as
platting the property creates two conforming industrial lots.

AGENDA ITEM
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF
JULY 24, 2017
TO: Walter Wysopal, City Manager PW17-045
FROM: James Kosluchar, Public Works Director
Brandon Brodhag, Civil Engineer
DATE: July 21, 2017
SUBJECT: Award of Main Street Drainage Improvements Project 17-486
th
On Thursday, July 20 at 2:00 pm, sealed bids were opened for the Main Street Drainage
Improvements Project 17-486. Eleven responsive bids were received.
This project will both improve the water quality of storm water discharged to the Mississippi River,
and reduce the potential for flooding on Main Street. It also maximizes prior investments in the
Main Street detention pond and Summit Square Park systems. The first part of project includes
improvements to provide additional capacity and water quality treatment for an existing pond on
Main Street, at 45th Ave NE. The second part of the project involves the installation of an 18-inch
storm sewer pipe and diversion structure at 53rd Ave to divert a limited amount of flow from an
existing pipe along Main Street to another existing system in Horizon Drive.
In June, the City Council approved a grant agreement with the Mississippi Watershed Management
Organization (MWMO). The City of Fridley prepared a funding request to the MWMO for this work,
and the MWMO have provided funding for design and construction of these projects of up to
$248,230.
The low responsive bid was received from Lametti & Sons, Inc. of Hugo, MN in the amount of
$183,950.00. This is under the final engineer’s construction estimate for the project of $193,892.00.
We believe that the bids received were simply extremely competitive, and will deliver the project
with the requisite quality specified in the bid documents. Please refer to the attached bid tabulation
which summarizes bids received. The City of Fridley has worked with Lametti & Sons on numerous
sewer lining and repair projects, and they are capable of performing this work and completing the
rd
project on time. CenterPoint Energy is currently relocating utilities along 53 Avenue in advance of
this project, which is to be completed by the end of the year.
Staff recommends the City Council move to receive the bids per the attached bid tabulation
and award the Main Street Drainage Improvements Project No. 17-486 to Lametti & Sons, Inc. of
Hugo, MN in the amount of $183,950.00. If the Council approves, staff will notify the contractor of
the award and issue a notice to proceed to the contractor upon receipt of acceptable submittals.

From: Debra A. Skogen, City Clerk
Jake Foster, Intern
Date: July 14, 2017
Re: Second Reading on a Proposed Ordinance Amending Fridley City Charter Chapter 7.
Taxation and Finances
The Fridley home rule charter is the fundamental law defining the powers citizens agree to give
their city government. The Charter Commission is comprised of fifteen court appointed citizens
who meet eight times a year to discuss and refine the charter in response to the needs of the
community.
Over the past year the Charter Commission has reviewed and discussed Chapter 7 extensively
pertaining, to taxation and finances to the financial impacts of the restrictions placed in the
Charter in 2000. The amendment to Section 7.02.1 would remove the inflationary Consumer
Price Index (CPI) and allow the City Council to increase the tax levy up to five percent (5%)
more than the prior year tax levy. In addition, if necessary, the amendment would also allow the
City Council to add up to an additional three percent (3%) with an affirmative vote of four
members of the City Council.
Minnesota Statute, Section 410.12, subd. 7, allows for an amendment by ordinance upon
recommendation of the Charter Commission. Within thirty days of receiving a recommendation,
the City must publish notice of a public hearing on the proposed ordinance. The public hearing
must be held at least two weeks but not more than one month after the notice is published.
On May 15, 2017, the Charter Commission recommended an amendment by ordinance to the
City Council for their review and action. On May 22, 2017, the City Council scheduled the
public hearing for June 26, 2017 and the notice of publication was published in the Fridley
SunFocus on June 2, 2017. The public hearing was held and there was no public opposition to
the proposed ordinance. The first reading was held on July 10, 2017, again there was no public
opposition to the ordinance.
Staff recommends a motion to waive the reading and order the adoption of the second reading of an
ordinance amending Fridley City Charter Chapter 7, Taxation and Finances, as shown in
Attachment 1. If adopted, the ordinance would become effective on November 2, 2017.

levying the same, nor because the amount levied shall exceed the amount required to be raised for

RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE ABATEMENT OF STREET REHABILITATION
Subject:
PROJECT NO. ST 2016 – 01 ON PIN NUMBER 26-30-24-32-0028
Introduction
On October 10, 2016, the City Council considered and approved a resolution adopting Street
Rehabilitation Project ST 2016 – 01. They approved an assessment for Pin Number 26-30-24-32-0028
in the amount of $2,125.93. It was subsequently discovered that this parcel does not have street access
and in accordance to City policy should not have been assessed. The first year of this assessment has
already been levied onto the property for taxes payable in 2017 in the amount of $349.28 with the
remaining balance of $1,913.34. It is staff’s recommendation that both of these amounts be stricken
from the assessment. A resolution has been attached for your review and approval.
Staff recognizes that the Roadway Major Maintenance Financing Policy from 2009 (attached) needs to
be reviewed and updated. Staff intends to present recommended revisions to this policy at an
upcoming Council conference meeting.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council review the attached resolution and approve the abatement of
$1,913.34 which is the remaining balance of the original assessment and $349.28 which was levied
onto Pin Number 26-30-24-32-0028 for taxes payable in 2017.

ROADWAY MAJOR MAINTENANCE FINANCING POLICY
REVISED 10/12/09
The following policy sets forth guidelines for the financing of roadway major maintenance
projects.
(Total reconstruction of streets for the initial upgrade from a bituminous curbed street to a
concrete curbed street will continue to be assessed based on the existing policy of calculating the
assessment based on the costs to install the concrete curb and gutter.)
I. DEFINITIONS
A. Benefited Property: Property with frontage (rear, side, or front) along a
roadway will be considered to receive benefit from any
major maintenance projects. In the low-density
residential lots (four or fewer dwelling units), those
properties with frontage and an existing access to the
roadway will be considered to receive benefit.
B. Major Maintenance: For the purpose of this policy, major maintenance will
consist of overlays, partial or total reconstruction
together with other associated infrastructure repairs,
reconstruction and minor extensions.
C. Minor Maintenance: For the purpose of this policy, minor maintenance shall
consist of pothole patching, crack sealing, seal coating
and minor skin overlays. Funding of these maintenance
activities are not addressed as part of this major
maintenance policy.
D. Project Cost: Included in the improvement cost to be assessed shall
be the roadway major maintenance activity construction
costs incurred to implement the improvements.
E. New Construction: Construction of new streets and utilities through
development shall be paid for by the landowner or
developer. Costs and payment thereof shall be
determined under a Developer’s Agreement.
F. Land Use Type: The classification of the land use will be based on the
property’s current land use – not on what the underlying
zoning of the property is.
II. COST ALLOCATION
The total project cost for major maintenance is to be allocated in accordance with the
policy. It is the intention of this policy to allocate cost on a project basis rather than on a
street-by-street or block-by-block basis.
A. All publicly owned and maintained streets under City jurisdiction
1. Low-Density Residential Lots (those with four or fewer dwelling units)
For major maintenance reconstruction of standard residential streets,
50% percent of the project cost of a 30 foot wide standard residential
street will be assessed to the area benefited on a per residential lot
basis. Residential properties will be assessed for construction on the
roadway to which they are addressed. In the event that a residential lot
has frontage on two streets and is of sufficient size to split or subdivide,
those portions of the lot that front on a second street will be assessed for
current projects and may be assessed for future road construction as
defined in this policy statement.
Each year we will take the actual bid prices and adjust those quantities
affected by street width to develop a cost for our “standard” street. For
example, only 83.3% of the total cost of asphalt for the reconstruction of
a 36 foot wide street will be included in the assessment calculation. (A
30 foot wide standard street divided by a 36 foot wide constructed street
width equals 83.3%) Other width affected bid items will be adjusted
similarly. The difference will be added to the City costs.
For purpose of this assessment policy, only those residential lots with
frontage or an existing access to the roadway will be considered to
receive benefit.
For multiple-unit Low-Density Residential Lots (those with four or fewer
dwelling units), the assessment will be at a rate equal to the lesser of the
High-Density Residential rate, or the following:
2 Units (duplex): 1.5 times the single-unit residential rate
3 Units (triplex): 2.0 times the single-unit residential rate
4 Units (fourplex): 2.5 times the single-unit residential rate
2. Commercial, Industrial, Manufacturing, Tax Exempt, Institutional, and
Medium and High-Density Residential
Commercial, industrial, manufacturing, tax exempt, institutional and
medium and high-density (more than four dwelling unit) multi-residential
frontages will be assessed actual project costs based on the lineal
footage of streets being maintained adjacent to front, side, or rear lot
sides. For individually owned multi-family structures, this cost will be
divided equally between the individual units.
Unplatted or vacant commercial, industrial, manufacturing, tax exempt,
institutional medium and high-density residential properties will be
assessed as described above based upon the land use allowed by the
ordinance.
III. ASSOCIATED INFRASTRUCTURE REPAIRS
Storm Sewer, Sanitary Sewer, Water main, and Concrete Curb and Gutter:
1. The cost for major extension of storm sewer to new areas under major
roadway reconstruction will be assessed on a per lot basis. The current per
lot assessment will be set by the City Council.
2. The cost of lateral and main storm sewer maintenance and reconstruction
within the area where streets are receiving major roadway maintenance will
not be included in the project cost to be assessed.
3. The cost of lateral and main sanitary sewer and water main maintenance and
reconstruction, and existing concrete curb and gutter repairs within the area
where streets are receiving major roadway maintenance will not be included
in the project cost to be assessed.
IV. FINANCING
A. The cost of the roadway major maintenance and related utility improvements will
ordinarily be assessed over a period not to exceed 10 years, except for those
assessments that are prepaid or deferred.
B. The project costs not funded by assessments will be funded from any funding
sources as specified by the City Council.
C. The assessment rate will be based on the project cost including the rate of
interest on bonds sold to finance the project plus expenses.
AGENDA ITEM
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
OF JULY 24, 2017
To: Walter T. Wysopal, City Manager
From: Deborah Dahl, Human Resources Director
John Berg, Fire Chief
Date: July 19, 2017
Re:CONTRACT WITH FIRE UNION
We are pleased and proud to announce a three-year tentative agreement has been reached between
the City of Fridley and the Fire bargaining unit (IAFF #1986) for the 2017, 2018 and 2019 calendar
years.
The City and Union entered into negotiations in January of this year and reached what we believe is
a positive and reasonable settlement. The unit has taken a vote and have approved the tentative
agreement, which is attached for your review and final Council approval at the July 24, 2017
Council Meeting.
The terms of the agreement are summarized below:
SUMMARY OF CHANGES:
Article 33 - Duration
1. (Three years - 2017, 2018 and 2019)
Article 16 – Insurance
2.
Employees in this bargaining unit will receive the same insurance benefit package as all other
City employees, which includes the health, dental and life insurance and alternatives (cash
option or benefit leave). Having the same benefit package across the board has been a long-
standing pattern and valued practice at Fridley, which is unique to our City and difficult to
important to defend to keep fairness between all groups.
Article 21 – Wages
3.
The biggest challenge in negotiations has been in establishing a list of cities which compare to
Fridley in order to establish a clear market. Both parties disagreed as to who should be on that
list of comparisons and ultimately no agreement was reached about the list, making it
impossible to establish the market. It is the City’s position that our Fire Captains are paid at the
market or within three percent (3%) of the 2016 rates for comparable cities.
Contract with Fire Union
July 19, 2017
Page 2
Both parties agreed to a 2.5% general increase or COLA for 1/1/2017, a general increase of
2.75% on 1/1/2018, and a 3% general increase on 2019 for the Captain’s classification only.
Since there are no individuals in the class of Firefighter or Firefighter/Inspector, both parties
agreed to maintain the 2016 rates.
Article 12.6 – Retiree Health Savings Account
4.
This is a housekeeping change only--no change to the language. Both parties agreed to move the
Article under 21.10 under insurance.
Article 16.1 – Holidays
5.
Both parties agreed to increase the number of City-paid holidays from eleven (11) to twelve
(12). Both parties agreed that this would become effective for 2017 and that the City and Union
would agree on what holiday to designate for 2017 and then by Oct. 1 going forward as
stipulated in the contract.
Article 20.1 – Uniform Allowance
6.
Currently the uniform allowance is $545 for 2016. Both parties agreed to increase the 2018 and
2019 uniform allowance to $550 in 2018 and $560 in 2019. Per contract, uniform allowance is
st
awarded by Jan. 31 each year.
ESTIMATED COSTS:
The costs for the proposed contract for 2017-2019 (for three members) are estimated below.
Item 2017 2018 2019
Wages (base wages, includes PERA*& taxes) $265,315 $275,252 $285,031
th
12 Holiday 869 900 935
Uniforms 0 15 45
Total $266,182 $276,167 $286,911
The 2017 budget planned for $263,969.21 (2% general increase), which this tentative agreement
now results in an estimated increase of $2,213.06 to the General Fund.
Notes:
1)These projections do not include overtime or court time.
2)Legislative changes are uncertain in terms of additional employer contributions. Currently
the PERA P&F Fund Employer Contributions is 16.2% and is likely to see increases (up to
1.5% over two years for 2017 and 2018), but it has not been approved by the time of this
settlement.
3)One member is still receiving step increases, which reflects increases in 2018 and 2019.
Contract with Fire Union
July 19, 2017

ACTION NEEDED:
Staff is recommending that the City Council approve this tentative agreement and resolution at the
July 24, 2017, Council Meeting. I will be in attendance at the pre-meeting and Council meeting to
answer any questions you may have.

the EMPLOYER in writing of the names of such UNION REPRESENTATIVES
and of their successors when so designated as provided by Section 6.2 of the
AGREEMENT.
7.3 Processing of a Grievance
It is recognized and accepted by the UNION and the EMPLOYER that the
processing of grievances as hereinafter provided is limited by the job duties and
responsibilities of the EMPLOYEES and shall therefore be accomplished during
normal working hours only when consistent with such EMPLOYEE duties and
responsibilities. The aggrieved EMPLOYEE and a UNION
REPRESENTATIVE shall be allowed a reasonable amount of time without loss
in pay when a grievance is investigated and presented to the EMPLOYER
during normal working hours provided that the EMPLOYEE and the UNION
REPRESENTATIVE have notified and received the approval of the designated
supervisor who has determined that such absence is reasonable and would not
be detrimental to the work programs of the EMPLOYER.
7.4 Procedure
Step 1.
An EMPLOYEE claiming a violation concerning the interpretation or
application of this AGREEMENT shall, within twenty-one (21) calendar days
after such alleged violation has occurred, present such grievance to the

ASSISTANT CHIEF or other EMPLOYER designated representative. The
ASSISTANT CHIEF or other EMPLOYER designated representative will
discuss and give an answer to such Step 1 grievance within ten (10) calendar
days after receipt. A grievance not resolved in Step 1 and appealed to Step 2
shall be placed in writing setting forth the nature of the grievance, the facts on
which it is based, the provision or provisions of the AGREEMENT allegedly
violated, the remedy requested, and shall be appealed to Step 2 within ten (10)
calendar days after the ASSISTANT CHIEF or other EMPLOYER-designated
representative’s final answer in Step 1. Any grievance not appealed in writing
to Step 2 by the UNION within ten (10) calendar days shall be considered
waived.
Step 2.
If appealed, the written grievance shall be presented by the UNION and
discussed with the CHIEF or other EMPLOYER-designated Step 2
representative. The CHIEF or other EMPLOYER-designated representative
shall give the UNION the EMPLOYER’S answer in writing within ten (10)
calendar days after receipt of such Step 2 grievance. A grievance not resolved in

2. Any grievance not appealed in writing to Step 3 by the UNION within ten
(10) calendar days shall be considered waived.
Step 3.
If appealed, the written grievance shall be presented by the UNION and
discussed with the CITY MANAGER or other EMPLOYER-designated Step 3
representative. The CITY MANAGER or other EMPLOYER-designated Step 3
representative shall give the UNION the EMPLOYER’S answer in writing
within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of such Step 3 grievance. A grievance
not resolved in Step 3 may be appealed to Step 4 within ten (10) calendar days
following the CITY MANAGER or other EMPLOYER-designated
representative’s final answer in Step 3. Any grievance not appealed in writing
to Step 4 by the UNION within ten (10) calendar days shall be considered
waived.
Step 4.
A grievance unresolved in Step 3 and appealed to Step 4 by the UNION shall be
submitted to arbitration subject to the provisions of the Public Employment
2017-2019 Labor Agreement – City of Fridley vs. IAFF Local 1986 (rev. 7/19/2017) 9
Labor Relations Act of 1971. The selection of an arbitrator shall be made in
accordance with the “Rules Governing and the Arbitration of Grievances” as
established by the Bureau of Mediation Services.
7.5 Arbitrator’s Authority
a. The arbitrator shall have no right to amend, modify, nullify, ignore, and to, or
subtract from the terms and conditions of the AGREEMENT. The arbitrator
shall consider and decide only the specific issue(s) submitted in writing by the
EMPLOYER and the UNION, and shall have no authority to make a decision
on any other issue not so submitted.
b. The arbitrator shall be without power to make decisions contrary to, or
inconsistent with, or modifying or varying in any way the application of laws,
rules, or regulations having the force and effect of law. The arbitrator’s decision
shall be submitted in writing within thirty (30) days following close of the
hearing or the submission of briefs by the parties, whichever be later, unless the
parties agree to an extension. The decision shall be binding on both the
EMPLOYER and the UNION and shall be based solely on the arbitrator’s
interpretation or application of the express terms of this AGREEMENT and to
the facts of the grievance presented.
c. The fees and expenses for the arbitrator’s services and proceedings shall be born
equally by the EMPLOYER and the UNION provided that each party shall be
responsible for compensating its own representatives and witnesses. If either
party desires a verbatim record of the proceedings, it may cause such a record to
be made, providing it pays for the record. If both parties desire a verbatim
record of the proceedings the cost shall be shared equally.
7.6 Waiver
If a grievance is not presented within the time limits set forth above, it shall be
considered “waived.” If a grievance is not appealed to the next step within the
specified time limit or any agreed extension thereof, it shall be considered
settled on the basis of the EMPLOYER’S last answer. If the EMPLOYER does
not answer a grievance or an appeal thereof within the specified time limits, the
UNION may elect to treat the grievance as denied at that step and immediately
appeal the grievance to the next step. The time limit in each step may be
extended by mutual written agreement of the EMPLOYER and the UNION in

AGENDA ITEM
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF
JULY 24, 2017
TO: Walter Wysopal, City Manager PW17-046
FROM: James Kosluchar, Public Works Director
DATE: July 21, 2017
SUBJECT: Approve a Memorandum of Agreement with the Rice Creek Watershed
District for a 2017 Metropolitan Council Stormwater Grant for the Fridley
Civic Complex
As you may recall, in the spring of 2016 and 2017, the City requested that our partners at the Rice
Creek Watershed District (RCWD) apply for a stormwater system grant through a new Metropolitan
Council program for the Fridley Civic Complex. This program was identified as a potential funding
source for construction and upgrading of the stormwater treatment pond system that has been
designed.
The proposed project will both improve the water quality of storm water discharged to the Rice
Creek and the Mississippi River, by inclusion of an iron-enhanced sand filter (IESF) treatment
system.
In April 2017 the RCWD was authorized to submit a 2017 Metropolitan Council Stormwater Grant
application for the Civic Center Complex project. According to Metropolitan Council grant
requirements, the RCWD must be the named applicant and must sign the grant agreement as the
Grantee. The City is responsible to design, construct and operate the project and provide a local
cost share. Our project received the highest score for applications received in 2017, and the
Metropolitan Council awarded a grant of $159,000 for the project.
In addition, the approved 2017 RCWD budget had allocated $70,000 within the Southwest Urban
Lakes Implementation budget specifically to assist with this project.
The RCWD and the Met Council will enter into a grant agreement for the project. The RCWD will
primarily serve only as the formal grantee to pass Met Council grant funds on to the City. Based on
this, the RCWD and City of Fridley agreed as part of the grant application process to enter into the
attached Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that identifies that the City will be responsible to
ensure that all terms of the grant agreement are met including:
Preparing the required work plan and budget,
Funding the remaining local match required for the improvements,
Completing construction per the grant agreement, and
Performing required operation and maintenance,
The RCWD will remain formally responsible to the Met Council, but under the MOA, the City
commits to the RCWD to perform all grant-related obligations. The RCWD is set to approve the
MOA shortly, and has scheduled a public hearing required by RCWD rules for July 26, 2017.
Overall, the District will be providing $70,000 of its own funds and $159,000 in Met Council funds to
the City (totaling $229,000). The City’s share of cost stands estimated at $192,475. This will
requirethat the City award the alternate project items for the IESF system of $85,500, and the
remaining funding will apply to system components that have been awarded. The two partner
funding allocations will, in addition to improving stormwater treatment, reduce the project cost by
$143,500.
In order to formalize this funding commitment from the Met Council and RCWD, the attached MOA
is presented, which has been reviewed and approved for execution by legal counsel. Staff is
recommends that the City Council move to approve the attached Memorandum of Agreement
with the Rice Creek Watershed District for a 2017 Metropolitan Council Stormwater Grant for
the Fridley Civic Complex Project. If approved, the MOA will be executed, and implementation
directed upon its final receipt.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF
JULY 24, 2017

FROM: James Kosluchar, Public Works Director

DATE: July 20, 2017

SUBJECT: Approve Change Order 1 (Final) for 71 Avenue Watermain Project 17-
513
st
Attached is Change Order No. 1 for the 71 Avenue Watermain Project 17-513. This project was a
critical step in the redevelopment of the Columbia Arena site, and was necessary to provide water
service to the existing Public Works building during construction, and will be the source of water for
the new Civic Campus and private development parcels going forward. The project is being
performed under a contract with Land Pride Construction, LLC of Paynesville, MN.
The amount of this change order is $146,065.68. There is no change to the contract completion
date for the project as a result of this change order. Total work included in Change Order 1 for this
project would increase the original contract by 60%. This substantial amount of additional work was
required due to the following:
1. The contractor was required to modify the water main depth and alignment at the east side
of the Public Works Garage to perform adequately during and after construction and avoid
utility conflicts. This change modified the contract by increasing the anticipated amount of
crew time to complete the work, pavement and boulevard restoration, water main fittings,
and hydrant extension, as directed by staff and added $8,726.09 to the project cost.
2. The contractor was required to abandon the directional boring installation for approximately
380’ and required open cut construction due to groundwater in the area 4’ higher than
geotechnical borings showed. While the pipe was attempted to be installed by directional
boring over this segment, it floated due to a combination of this high groundwater and soils
and needed to be replaced. The City received a credit on the boring installation of
$9,120.00, and added costs of 12” pipe, rental of a larger trench box, mobilization and rental
of a larger excavator, rock for dewatering, increased pavement and boulevard restoration
st
and increased curb replacement. The contractor was also required to keep 71 Ave NE
open for traffic to the Public Works Garage, Community Gardens and Anoka County Park;
requiring the contractor to work with more caution and interruptions. As directed by staff,
this work increased the cost of construction by $46,721.20.
3. Additional pavement removal and restoration was required for the changes above, and
totaled $64,188.50. This cost was higher than normal for restoration, as paving was needed
at multiple times during the project to keep the access to Public Works and construction site
open.
4. The contractor was required to provide soil corrections at the east side of the Public Works
Garage due to structurally deficient soils. The contractor made efforts to open and dry the
unsuitable materials without desirable results. Suitable materials were imported and fabric
was installed to rebuild the roadway and have it adequately perform for the heavy Public
Works vehicles. This change modified the anticipated restoration, as directed by staff and
added $2,672.89 to the project cost.
5. The contractor was required to dewater more than was initially anticipated. Soil borings
taken on 8/12/16, adjacent to the water main alignment, revealed a water table 7.5 feet
below grade. At the time of water main installation the water table was 4 to 4.5 feet below
grade. This required the contractor to import rock for dewatering and decreased anticipated
productivity rates. The contractor was also required to maintain access to the Community
Gardens and County Park. This change in anticipated conditions modified the original
contract, increasing the cost of construction by $25,305.00.
Changes were directed with the knowledge that any delay in completing the water main would have
caused a larger delay in the work on the Civic Campus. Land Pride Construction was responsive in
implementing the changes quickly to avoid delay, and working with the City on minimizing costs of
changes, including absorbing some of the cost. City staff directed all changes above as necessary
to fulfill our project goals and meeting our standards. These changes will increase the capital
construction cost for this project, paid for from the water fund.
Staff is recommending that the City Council move to approve Change Order No. 1 (Final) for the
st
71 Avenue Watermain Project in the amount of $146,065.68 to Land Pride Construction.
If approved, the contract amount shall be increased from $243,026.50 to $389,092.18
