1. REVIEW STORER CABLE COMMUNICATION REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS
TO RELOCATE THEIR OVERHEAD LINES SOUTH OF MISSISSIPPI STREET:
Mr. Prieditis stated that at the last meeting, the HRA members had received a
copy of Mr. Newman's legal opinion dated Nov. 13, 1984, ..in which Mr. Newman
stated he supported City Staff's recommendation that the relocation be at
Storer's expense.
Mr. Qureshi stated that some time ago, Staff recommended that Storer not be
reimbursed by either the HRA or the City for the relocation of Storer's over-
head lines. Storer had questioned their right and the legality of this
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, JANUARY 10, 1985 PAGE 2
recommendation. A couple of meetings ago, the HRA directed its legal
counsel to review this. Mr. Newman has now advised the HRA of his opinion
in his memo of Nov. 13. A copy of Mr. Newman's memo was sent to Mr. Wegemer,
District Manager of Storer Cable, and Mr. Wegemer was informed that the
HRA would be discussing this issue at the Jan. 10th meeting. Storer was
invited to attend this meeting. Mr. Qureshi stated that since there was no
one from Storer at the meeting, it appeared that Storer was not going to
pursue this matter any further.
Mr. Prieditis stated the HRA had discussed this at the December meeting.
At that meeting, they had received Mr. Newman's legal opinion and had con-
curred with his recommendations. They had also agreed that this item be
formally put on the January agenda in order to give Storer an opportunity to
respond to this legal opinion.
Mr. Prairie stated this was a decision the HRA had agreed to some time ago,
and Mr. Newman's legal opinion reconfirms what they had originally agreed upon.
2. AUTHORIZING SALE OF REFUNDING BONDS FOR CENTER CITY:
Mr. Qureshi stated Staff has supplied the HRA with the materials regarding
this item. Basically, it gave them an estimated outline of what the bonding
refunding cost analysis would be and a schedule to be followed.
Mr. Qureshi stated that at the last meeting, the HRA had agreed with the
concept, and Staff had agreed to bring the final documentation to this meeting.
He stated what Staff will be doing is coming to the HRA with the plan modifi-
cation for the refunding to be approved by the HRA on Feb. 14, and then on
March 14, the HRA will be approving the actual bond purchase agreement.
At this meeting, he was asking for authorization to proceed with refunding of
the bonds and follow the schedule that has been submitted.
Mr. Prieditis stated that at the last meeting, Mr. Rasmussen had expressed
some concerns. He asked if Mr. Rasmussen had communicated any other questions
or concerns to Staff.
Mr. Inman stated Mr. Rasmussen was ill and could not be at the meeting. He
stated he had encouraged Mr. Rasmussen to call him if he had any questions
or concerns, and Mr. Rasmussen had not called him.
Mr. Prairie stated they had discussed this at great length at the last meeting,
and nothing has changed. He would be in favor of approving the refunding of
bonds.
MOTION BY MR. PRAIRIE, SECONDED BY MS. SVENDSEN, TO APPROVE THE SCHEDULE FOR
THE REFUNDING OF BONDS.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON PRIEDITIS DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

5. RECEIVE LETTER FROM FRIDLEY 49'ERS DAYS COMMITTEE REGARDING USE OF HRA
LAND FOR CARNIVAL:
Mr. Qureshi stated that last year the 49'ers Days Committee conducted the
49'er Days activities in the Community Plaza and surrounding area. They
felt this was eery successful and want to do the same this year. At the
Jan. 17th City Council meeting,a letter was received from the 49'ers Days
Committee requesting approval to use the vacant property between the
Community Plaza and Fridley State Bank for a carnival and other events in
conjunction with the Fridley 49'ers Days celebration in June. He stated the
City Council had indicated they have no problem with this request, but since
it is HRA property, they would like the approval of the HRA also.
Mr. Prairie asked if the HRA was required to notify the Fridley Plaza Clinic
of this event, because it would be right next to their parking lot.
Mr. Qureshi stated they are not required to notify the clinic. The activities
would be on the weekend and should not conflict with the clinic's operation.
Mr. Prieditis and Ms. Svendsen agreed it would be a neighborly courtesy to
notify the clinic of this event.
Mr. Prieditis stated the Community Plaza was intended for occasions like this.
He would personally like to see the Plaza used as much as possible for events
like this and other events. He would strongly support the idea of the 49'ers
Days Committee using the Community Plaza and the HRA land for the 49'ers Days
carnival .
MOTION BY MR. PRAIRIE, SECONDED BY MS. SVENDSEN, TO RECEIVE THE LETTER FROM
THE 49'ERS DAYS COMMITTEE AND TO APPROVE THE USE OF THE HRA PROPERTY FOR
THE 49'ERS DAYS CARNIVAL AND OTHER EVENTS. THE HRA WOULD ALSO REQUEST THAT
THE HRA DIRECTOR NOTIFY THE FRIDLEY PLAZA CLINIC OF THIS EVENT.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON PRIEDITIS DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

6. DIRECTION ON THE PUBLIC OFFICIAL LIABILITY INSURANCE:
Mr. Inman stated that at the last meeting, regarding the lease of the hardware
building, Mr. Commers had asked about the liability insurance for the HRA.
Mr. Inman stated they noticed the HRA had adquate coverage until it came to
the Umbrella liability and the Public Officials liability. Prior to 1985,
the limited exposure of the HRA precluded acquiring Umbrella liability or
Public Official liability insurance. Based on the recent activities in other
cities, Staff would recommend the Umbrella liability and the Public Officials
liability which can be added on to the City's policy at a relatively small
amount. The approximate cost for naming the HRA on the City's Public Official
policy was $806. They do not have a quote for the Umbrella liability policy.
Mr. Inman stated that, pending some ridiculous amount on the Umbrella liability,
he would like a concurrence from the HRA members that they should be added
on to the City's policy for the Umbrella liability and the Public Officials
liability.
Mr. Inman stated that on the second page of his memo dated Jan. 10, 1985,
to Mr. Qureshi , he talked about the insurance protection on the liquor ware-
house which he thought was more than substantial for the value of the building.
MOTION BY MR. PRAIRIE, SECONDED BY MS. SVENDSEN, TO AUTHORIZE CITY STAFF TO
PROCEED WITH THE UMBRELLA LIABILITY AND PUBLIC OFFICIALS LIABILITY COVERAGE
FOR THE HRA AND HPA COMMISSIONERS.
Mr. Qureshi stated he could supply the HRA with the numbers at the next
meeting, and the commissioners always had the option of rescinding or
changing their decision.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON PRIEDITIS DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

MOTION BY MS. SVENDSEN, SECONDED BY MR. PRAIRIE, TO ADJOURN THE MEETING. UPON
