UNANIMOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 7:09 P.M.
Ryan George, Deputy Director of Public Safety,
-Carchi, applied for
an On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor License in October 2020. During the initial license approval process, staff
several provisions of Chapter 603 of Fridley City Code.
Mr. George said Public Safety staff documented fights, assaults, a shooting, urination in the parking lot,
drinking in the parking lot, and remaining open well past the closing time established by local and state
regulations. When staff attempted to address their growing concerns, they received no response from
in the liquor license and, therefore, municipalities have broad discretion to determine the manner in which
:
Jufn!4/
City Council Meeting 8/23/2021 Minutes Page 3
the liquor licenses are issued, regulated, and revoked. Minnesota Statutes, Section 340A.415, authorizes
the City to revoke an on-sale liquor license on a finding that the license holder has failed to comply with
any applicable statute, rule, or ordinance relating to alcoholic beverages or the operation of the licensed
establishment.
Morocho-Carchi, of Chapter 603 of the Fridley City Code, and additional conditions imposed by the City
Counmeasures and
appears unable to successfully operate a safe and secure environment for the dispensing of alcohol. The
City has documented numerous violations of the City Code. The City has documented violations of the
-
-Sale Intoxicating Liquor License would permit the continuation of a
significant risk to the public health and safety. Staff recommend Council hold a public hearing for the
purpose of considering the revocation of Mr. Morocho--Sale Intoxicating Liquor License and
adoption of Resolution No. 2021-68.
Mayor Lund said he thought everything seemed straight forward and clear.
Angel Morocho, Co-Owner, said it is sad to see the way things transpired throughout the time of owning
a liquor license. He wanted to open a welcoming business in Fridley and his personal life put him back
and affected how the business was ran. A family member stepped in and it He
is sorry for the way things transpired and hopes that the , it was his
responsibility to take care of it.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if Mr. Morocho was aware of the issues.
Mr. Morocho said he tried to control things when he was there. He hired and let go of different security
teams that were not up to his standard. He could not be in multiple places at once. He hired security
guards to make sure nothing happened outside, and everyone left in a peaceful manner. He set up new
security but that was not what he wanted.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if at any time public safety was contacted to talk about the incidents that
happened.
Mr. Morocho replied that is why he let go of the security team, because they did not meet the values and
mission that
Councilmember Eggert ay.
Mr. Morocho replied that he is making sure they are functioning liquor
license is in his name. He is an employee.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if another manager took over when he stepped away.
Mr. Morocho replied no, he knew about the managerial license, but that person fell through, and he was
a one-man team.

Jufn!4/
City Council Meeting 8/23/2021 Minutes Page 4
Councilmember Bolkcom asked what Mr. Morocho was going to do differently.
Mr. Morocho replied that there is a new team of people working around the clock rather than just him
alone.
John Akwuba, Attorney for Mr. Morocho, asked Council to please give the establishment a second
chance. This is a minority owned establishment that lived through COVID. Mr. Morocho had some
difficult personal issues which created problems for him. After speaking with his dad, the security has
been addressed and more employees are working. They are even willing to hire off-duty police officers,
retired police offices and have a squad car on the premises. They plan to fence off some areas and have
everyone off the premises at 12:30 a.m. They plan to take better care of the situation inside the bar and
especially outside with increased security measures and Fridley police officers. There are measures put
in place to address this and the personal problems are taken care of now. Please a second
chance to operate, the issues will be taken care of this time.
Councilmember Bolkcom noted that this has been going on for at least two weeks and she was surprised
they came here tonight with no written plan for Council about what is being done to address the issues.
This has been going on since October and she is concerned about the community and what happened
there, including underage drinking. We were all excited when Council originally passed the liquor license
for this restaurant, and it is disappointing and not fair to other restaurants that have a liquor license and
abide by the rules.
Mr. Akwuba said he met with Deputy Director George last month and they spent time in the building and
went through everything. He gave him attachment A and went through each one of the items with the
owners to fulfill the recommendations of the Public Safety Department.
Deputy Director George said Attachment A is the document adopted by Council when the liquor license
was adopted.
Councilmember Tillberry said they talked with the owner after opening when they had advertised for a
club atmosphere around Halloween.
Mr. Akwuba said they are asking for a second chance regarding the revocation. They have learned their
lesson this time and would like a chance to make things completely right.
Councilmember Tillberry noted that Fridley could not provide police security when it was requested last
October.
Councilmember Ostwald read through the timeline and said the list is very concerning. This is not
behavior for a quality run business. No reassurances will stop this from happening, and they have
presented nothing indicating what changes will happen.
Mr. Morocho replied that the business was not advertised as a night club and he terminated the event.
Some things were out of his control.

City Council Meeting 8/23/2021 Minutes Page 5
Councilmember Bolkcom said that they do not have enough people working. They hire people and then
those people do not do what they should do so they are fired, and then another group comes on.
Mr. Morocho said that staff looks amazing on paper but not when they show up to work.
Mayor Lund said Mr. Morocho seems sincere, and he would like another chance and he is sorry for what
occurred. The responsibility lies on the liquor license owner and there have been too many failures. As
Councilmember Bolkcom said, they did not come to Council with a definite plan. For safety reasons and
the good of the general public, he said he did not see changing the recommendation of staff.

Wally Wysopal, City Manager, said this action was submitted based on code enforcement issues brought
up on May 12. This was scheduled to go to Council on June 29 and was postponed to this date. Bird
Rides submitted a withdrawal last week. Staff is recommending terminating all ordinance amendment
processes and for the ordinance to remain as it was prior to the text amendment. Any changes would

Melissa Moore, Deputy City Clerk, stated recodification is the collection and systematic arrangement of
the ordinances of a local government related to specific practices within its jurisdiction. The creation and
maintenance of the Fridley City Code is authorized by several regulations including MN Statute 415-02,
Fridley City Charter Chapter 1.02 and Charter 3.10.
Ms. Moore said in 2020, the City Manager created the Recodification Coordinating Group (RCG) to
support the Recodification Project. The Project will adhere to improve accessibility, align with known best
practices and provide clarity for end users. Progress to date includes the Fridley City Code was converted
to an online format in June/July of 2020. The Department Directors provided prioritization guidance and
the RCG began the preliminary recodification project in September/December of 2020. In January/July
2021, the proposed reorganization of the City Code began, and recodification licenses were appointed
by the City Manager. Presently the City Council received the Recodification Project, and formalization of
City Code reorganization. Staff will begin working on the first round of revisions.

proposed ordinance. The proposed ordinance is reviewed by the RCG, City Attorney and City Manager.

Resolution No. 2021-75, Approving Change Order No. 1 (Final) for 53 Avenue Lift Station
Improvements Project No. 20-519
Background
rd
Attached is Change Order No. 1 (Final) for the 53 Avenue Lift Station Improvements Project No. 20-
519. This project included timely upgrades and relocation of the aging lift station. The old location made
maintenance difficult for City staff. It also put the lift station at risk by vehicular traffic and vandalism. In
addition to addressing the safety and reliability concerns, a major project for a turnaround/roundabout
feature to improve traffic safety has been proposed for this area next season. As such, now was a strategic
time to relocate the new 53rd Avenue Lift Station to a more suitable location. The work is being
performed under a contract with Pember Companies, Inc. of Menomonie, WI.
The amount of this final change order is $5,304. Total work included in Change Order No. 1 would
increase the original contract by 0.73%.
Additional work was required due to the following:
4-Inch Cross for Emergency Bypass Assembly
This pertains to the labor and materials required to install an emergency bypass assembly as a redundant
precautionary measure for the lift station.
Soil Correction
Unsuitable backfill material containing large concrete debris was encountered while excavating for the
new lift station building and sanitary sewer force main. The debris will be removed offsite and replaced
with suitable granular backfill material.
Fiber Optic Conduit
This item pertains to installing conduit for future installation of fiber optic communication to the lift
station to provide risk and resiliency.
Note the project is complete and awaiting final payment.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.

AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: September 13, 2021 Meeting Type: City Council
Submitted By: Daniel Tienter, Director of Finance/City Treasurer
Korrie Johnson, Assistant Finance Director
Title
Resolution No. 2021-79, Declaring Costs to be Assessed, Ordering Preparation of the Proposed
Assessment Roll, and Directing Publication of the Public Hearing Notice for the 2021 Nuisance
Abatements
Background
Minnesota Statutes § 429 allows the City Council (Council) to adopt an ordinance to regulate the
collection of unpaid charges and fees as a special assessment against any property that benefited from
a city improvement. Fridley City Code (Code), Chapter 128 entitled Abatement of Exterior Public
Nuisances, defines the procedure for removal of exterior public nuisance and allows for the assessment
of uncollected charges and fees.
For the period between September 2, 2020 and September 1, 2021, staff determined the costs to be
assessed for nuisance abatements to be approximately $81,536 as of September 7, 2021. In addition to
the public nuisance abatement cost, this cost includes all incidental expenses related thereto as allowed
by Code Chapter 128, including a 25% administrative surcharge.
Minnesota Statutes § 429.061 requires any expense and the corresponding special assessment to be
calculated by the Council by resolution. The resolution must include the total amount to be assessed,
preparation of an assessment roll and direction to prepare and publish a public hearing notice no less
than two weeks prior to such meeting of the Council. Assuming the Council approves the attached
resolution, staff will publish the notice on September 17, 2021 and the Council will hold the public
hearing at the October 11, 2021 Regular Meeting.
Financial Impact
The proposed assessment reflects the costs already incurred by the City to abatement nuisances within
the community. The Adopted Budget contained the appropriate budget authority to support these
activities.
Recommendation
Staff recommend the Council approve Resolution No. 2021-79.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.

the county together with and as a part of the assessment roll in which the original amount
due was contained.
A property owner may at any time, thereafter, pay to the City of Fridley the entire amount
of the assessment remaining unpaid, with interest accrued to December 31 of the year in
which such payment is made. Such payment must be made before November 15 or
interest will be charged through December 31 of the succeeding year.

Resolution No. 2021-81, Establishing a School Speed Zone on 61 Avenue and West Moore Lake Drive
Near Fridley High and Fridley Middle School
Background
In 1975 the State Legislature, through Minnesota Statute 169.14, gave responsibility to local authorities
to establish school speed limits.
Based on this authorization, the City of Fridley, as the local road authority, may establish school speed
limits within a school zone of a public or non-public school on a basis of engineering and traffic
investigations and follow the following parameters:
!The school speed zone shall only be in effect when children are present going to or leaving the
school.
!School speed zones cannot lower the posted speed zone more than 30 mph and shall not be
established below 15 mph.
!School zones are defined as a segment of street or highway that abuts school grounds where
children have access to the roadway or where a school crossing is in place.
!School speed zone signing and striping must be in accordance with the Minnesota Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MN MUTCD).
!Any traffic violations of a school speed limit are subjected to a double fine.
The proper school speed zoning can reduce vehicle speed differential, provide basis for enforcement,
increase driver respect for the speed zoning, and decrease crash potential. However, the school speed
zoning will not automatically reduce vehicle speeds or automatically reduce crashes. In fact, improper
speed zoning may actually increase crash potential, increase vehicle speed differential, and mislead
pedestrians as to the true vehicular speed.
Several criteria should be considered in determining if a school speed zone is warranted or needed.
These criteria are discussed in detail below:
1.!School Route Plan A school route plan identifies the routes that students are using, or should
use, to get to and from school and/or other facilities adjacent to the school. The plan should
identify the existing walking area around the school, as well as the typical routes that students
walk to and from the school.
2.!Traffic Volumes The traffic volumes of the adjacent roadways should be considered in the
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.

evaluation. The larger number of vehicles traveling on a roadway creates a potential for
vehicle/pedestrian conflicts.
3.!Pedestrian Volumes Similar to the traffic volumes, as the number of pedestrians/students
increase along a particular route, the potential for the vehicle/pedestrian conflict also increases.
4.!Crash Investigation A crash investigation will identify any hazardous locations in which vehicle
conflicts and/or pedestrian/vehicle conflicts currently exist.
5.!Roadway Characteristics/Traffic Control Devices The existing roadway geometry, including the
street width and location of existing traffic control devices (i.e., traffic signalization or all-way
stops), is important in determining if
6.!Sidewalks/Pathways The location of sidewalks and/or pathways adjacent to the roadway and
leading up to crossings and the school need to be identified to determine if pedestrians and/or
students would be walking in the streets.
7.!Speed Limits The existing speed limit of the roadway is an important aspect of the evaluation.
The higher the posted speed limit, the more difficult it would be reducing the speed limit through
the school zone. People will drive what they feel is a safe and comfortable speed through an area.
Based on these criteria and input from the School District, Fridley Police Department and City staff a
st
School Speed Zone review was conducted for 61 Avenue and West Moore Lake Drive at the Fridley
High and Middle Schools.
st
The current speed limit on 61 Avenue and West Moore Lake Drive is 30 mph, adjacent to the existing
st
schools. Existing pedestrian crossings are provided at the intersection of 61 Avenue and West Moore
ststth
Lake Drive, on 61 Avenue at Commons Park, as well as at the intersection of 61 Avenue/7 Street. Next
intersection. All of those pedestrian crossings are painted with standard pedestrian markings. Standard
Existing traffic volumes at this location were obtained from the Minnesota Department of Transportation
(MnDOT) traffic maps for 2017. An annual average daily traffic volume (AADT) of 3600 vehicles per day
st
was reported for 61 Avenue, 1400 vehicles per day for West Moore Lake adjacent to the high school,
and 2950 for West Moore Lake Drive from east of Able Street to Highway 65. Assuming that the peak
hour is typically 10% of the AADT this results in a peak hour volume of 360, 140 and 295 vehicles for the
three different segments.
Based on staff discussion with the School District, the primary school crossing route to and from Fridley
st
High and Middle School is across 61 Avenue at the middle school bus entrance and at the intersection
st
of 61 Avenue/West Moore Lake Drive. Crossing guards are present in the morning and afternoon for
st
students walking between the High School and Middle School. Vehicles are parked on 61 Avenue and
West Moore Lake Drive to drop off and pick up students.
Pedestrian counts were counted by City staff in the spring of 2018. The total number of students crossing
at the existing pedestrian crossings was 299 in the morning and 461 in the afternoon. Data collection
stst
was taken at the 61 Avenue/Middle School bus entrance and the intersection of 61 Avenue/West
Moore Lake Drive.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.
52
Jufn!9/
Currently, the City of Fridley staff and Police Department with the school district are reviewing proposed
st
improvements for pedestrian safety on 61 Avenue including:
st
1.!Installation of pedestrian-activated Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacon (RRFB) system for the 61
Avenue crossings.
st
2.!Installation of speed feedback signs along 61 Avenue in both directions.
st
3.!Installation of standard crosswalk markings on 61 Avenue at the Middle School bus entrance.
Based on the traffic review a 20 mph School Speed Zone is recommended as a solution to improve safety
of the students adjacent to 61st Avenue and West Moore Lake Drive. Attached figures show the
proposed school zone signage, school route plan, traffic volumes, pedestrian volumes, crash
investigation, roadway characteristics/traffic control devices, sidewalks/pathways, and speed limits.
A speed zone should be posted with signs indicating the beginning and end of school speed zone, and
a sign indicating that the speed zone is in effect when children are present. Minnesota Statues 1979,
Section 169.14, defines the enforcement of school speed zones.
As a permanent measure, solar powered LED-

Rotary Club. These are similar to the solar powered LED-lit stop signs at West Moore Lake Drive and 61
Avenue NE that have been successful. The signs will be installed in the fall; in the interim we have been
provided authorization to install temporary signage by the Public Safety Director to coincide with this

Title
Public Hearing and Adoption of Resolution No. 2021-74, Approving a Street Vacation Request, SAV
#21-01, to Vacate Shamrock Lane N.E., Petitioned by Cummins Power Generation
Background
rd
Cummins Power Generation, located at 1400 73 Avenue N.E. (Exhibit B) has submitted a street vacation
application to have the entirety of Shamrock Lane N.E. vacated. Shamrock Lane is City right-of-way that
th
ends in a cul-de-sac located north of 69 Avenue on the east side of the City.
In 1999, a plat of the Cummins property was approved to create a new lot on the southern portion of
the property. That lot was created to accommodate the construction of a warehouse building that was
owned by Murphy Warehouse. Shamrock Lane was then dedicated and constructed as public right-of-
way to provide direct access to the newly created lot. A minimum of 25 feet of right-of-way access was
required to create this parcel. Shamrock Lane was created to allow the second parcel and give it a right-
of-way adjacent as required. The parcel itself was required to be created, because it was a separate
owner, not Cummins at the time.
The lot with the existing warehouse building has since been purchased by Cummins and the two lots
rd
were combined in 2015 to create one tax-parcel for the 1400 73 Avenue N.E. As a result, Shamrock
Lane only serve the general public. If the right-of-way is
vacated it will become part of the Cummins property and will be privately owned and taxed. City staff
has met to discuss the street vacation, and the Public Works and Public Safety Departments are in full
support of vacating this right-of-schedule, and
it also helps to alleviate the parking and illegal dumping issues that the City has had to deal with over
the years.
Cummins notes in their narrative (Exhibit C) that one of the main reasons they are requesting the street
vacation is to improve safety: y would like to control this access and maintain it for an employee
only vehicle entrance to their south campus, specifically for their warehouse employees. This employee
only vehicle entrance would keep employee vehicle access separate from truck access on the site. No
trucks would be allowed to enter from this access point and Cummins would provide secured control to
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.

Recommendation
