10. Review of Liquor License: Two Stooges Bar and Grill
Brian Weierke, Public Safety Director, provided details on the on-sale liquor licensed possessed by Two
Stooges Bar and Grill. He reviewed the annual calls for service, noting an increasing trend in the number
of calls and severity of issues, and also reviewed continued concerns. He stated that during 2020 and
2021, staff met with the business owners to discuss the concerns and developed proactive attempts to
deter negative activity. Staff also met with the business owners in February 2022 after the shooting
incident and reviewed the action plan the business developed in order to better protect its customers.
He stated that staff supports the action plan and would like to continue to monitor the activity with
another review to be completed by June 1, 2022. He commented that the business owners have been
very responsive to calls and discussions and there have been no calls for service since the implementation
of the action plan.
The Council suggested focusing on more food sales and asked the length of time for which the business
would close at 11 p.m. The Council also asked for details on the security team and practices, if there has
been training for staff, and how the calls for service to this business compare to other similar businesses.
Ryan George, Deputy Director, reported that calls for service for other similar businesses ranged between
one to 19, while Two Stooges was up near 75 calls for service in one year. He noted that there is a
correlation between the food/liquor service ratio and calls for service, explaining that the lower the food
ratio, the higher the calls for service.

City Council Meeting 2/28/2022 Minutes Page 4
The owners of Two Stooges provided input on the impact to the business that has occurred because of
the earlier closing time. Details were also provided on the new security team the business is using, which
is composed of former police officers. It was noted that they are going to improve the lighting in the
parking lot to deter unwanted activity in that area. They also explained that the prices for alcoholic
beverages were raised in attempt to deter unwanted customers, but it did not do so, and actually
accounted for the higher liquor ratio compared to food sales. Details were provided on the security
practices.
The Council commented that perhaps the reduction to business was a result of the shooting. The Council
asked that the business follow the recommendations and work with the Public Safety Director with a
follow up review by the Council at the second meeting in April.
Mr. Weierke stated that he will work with the business owners to develop a more detailed plan over the
next two weeks that can be presented in the Council conference session on March 14. At that time, the
Council will consider whether the business can be open past 11 p.m.

It was noted that volunteers are needed at the art center to prepare for the opening. Donations are also

Title
ResolutionNo. 2022-25, Approvingand Authorizing Signing an Agreement with Patrol Sergeants (Local
#310) for the City of FridleyPublic Safety Department for the years 2022, 2023, and 2024
Background
Athree-year tentative agreement (Exhibit A) has been reached between the City of Fridley (City) and the
Police Sergeantunit (L.E.L.S Local #310) for the contract years 2022, 2023, and 2024.
The City and L.E.L.S Local #310entered negotiations this winter and both parties reached what we
believe is a positive and fair settlement. The Labor Market for this group has experiencedwide
fluctuations in settlements due to many social factors and increased levels of movement between
agencies. The unit, comprised of 7 members,has taken a vote and approved the tentative agreement,
which is summarized below.
Summary of Changes
1.Article 36Duration: Three contract years (2022-2024).
2.Article 16Insurance: Employees in this bargaining unit will receive the same insurance benefit
package as all other city employees, which includes the health, dental, life, and disability insurance
and alternatives (cash option or benefit leave). Having the same benefit package for all city
employees has been a long-standing pattern and valued practice at theCity andremains an
important strategy in maintaining fairness between all groups.
3.Article18 Uniforms: Both parties agree to increase the non-uniformed Employees clothing
allowance from $450 to $500 per year, due to rising costs on consumer goods. There is one member
who qualifies for this clothing allowance.
4.Article 21.1Wages: Both parties agree to a general increase of 3% for 2022, a general increase of
3%for 2023, and a general increase of 3% for 2024.In addition, both parties agreed to adding one
additional step for a total of 5 steps. Analysis of Fridley wages against the list of established
comparable cities showed Currently there are
4 steps in the Sergeant pay scale and adding an additional step would address the disparity in the
market.With the addition of the step, a newly appointed Sergeant could expect to reach the top
step at 4 years of service. 4 members of this unit have served four years and would qualify for the
top step in 2022.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.
22
Jufn!5/
5.!Article 21.2 Specialty Pay: Both parties agree
to an investigation from $225 per month to 5% over their base pay, to align with the industry
standard. No staff is currently assigned to a sergeant investigative position.
6.!Article 24 Retiree Health Insurance: Since 2014, employees in the Sergeant union agreed to
participate in a Retiree Health Savings Plan (RHSP). This fund is administered by Mission Square,
Both parties agreed to the request to
increase the employee own contributions from $75 per paycheck to $100 per paycheck. The City
makes no contributions to this fund and employees pay for any fees related to their own investments.
7.!Article 26 Wellness Leave: Employees in this bargaining unit will be awarded 48 hours of Wellness
Leave at the start of the calendar year for participation in the Public Safety Wellness Program, which
includes specific goals that address overall wellness for law enforcement professionals. They will not
be required to earn the benefit in advance. 100% of the active members of this unit currently earn
the benefit so the impact to scheduling is minimal. They will no longer be eligible to participate in
the City-wide Wellness Program. Wellness Leave hours must be used in the calendar year in which
st
they are awarded, and unused hours after December 31 of the year will be forfeited. Wellness Leave
hours will be pro-rated at 1.846 hours per pay period for those who leave employment prior to the
end of the year, or for those who start employment after the start of the year.
Financial Impact
The costs for the proposed contract for 2022-2024 are estimated at $13,312 for wages and $50 for
clothing allowance. This amount reflects what was not already budgeted in the 2022 General Fund. The
Department will need to offset costs in other areas to assure a balanced budget. The amount is
manageable based on previous year-end balances. In 2023 and 2024, amounts will be adjusted
according to the provisions of the contract.

Staff recommend the approval of Resolution No. 2022-25

Title
Resolution No. 2022-22, ApprovingCoon Creek Watershed District Water Quality Cost-Share
Agreement for Riverview Terrace Street Rehabilitation Project
Background
The 2022Street Rehabilitation Project is anticipated to begin in June. In an effort to determine the need
for a permit for the proposed street project, Coon Creek Watershed District (CCWD) staff and
Engineering staff conducted a pre-application meeting last January. Given the Cityof Fridley (City)will
be rehabilitating the roads, Staff understood this as an opportune time to address the issue by installing
a water quality structure on the western limits of the project on Riverview Terrace. Given the measurable
environmental benefits and timing of the street project, CCWDstaff identified that the water quality
structure was a potential funding source for cost-share.
Engineering s-Share
Program to help fund the proposed water quality structure. The program had the potential to provide
50% of the total project cost up to $50,000 with a required 50% local match.
While the project feasibility report did not assume this water quality improvement as part of the project
-share purposes
such as this. This project element is not proposed to be included in special assessments to property
owners.
The application scored highly and CCWD awarded the Citya total amount of $30,000to install the water
quality structure. The City is responsible to design, construct and maintain the proposed water quality
features.
The attached agreement(Exhibit A)identifies that the City will be responsible to ensure that all terms of
the cost-share agreement are met including:
The City is to fund 50% of the project costs;
Provide as-built records;
Provide an operations and maintenance plan;
Provide documentation of pollution reductions in accordance with the stated water quality
outcomes; and
Complete the project by December 31, 2023.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendlyand stable home for families and businesses.

Financial Impact
A cost estimate of the approved features is provided in the attached cost-share application. The
estimated cost for the Riverview Terrace water quality structure is $61,610.00. Overall, the District will
be providing $3
share of the cost will be funded by the Storm Water Utility Fund
Investment Plan. There is no recommended change to special assessments as a result of this water
quality improvement.

RE:ST 2022-01 CCWD Cost Share Components
The City of Fridley Street Improvement Project ST 2022-01 includes astormwater BMPthat will
be submitted to CCWD forconsideration in the Districts costshare program. Aninstallation of a
hydrodynamic separator at the downstream end of the storm sewer system just above the outlet
to theMississippi River. The followingis the benefit analysis for thisproject.
Hydrodynamic Separator
The City of Fridley is proposing to install a Downstream Defender hydrodynamic separator
manufactured by Hydro International downstream of the Stormwater JunctionManhole on the
st
west sideof Riverview Terrace between 71Wayand 71 ½Wayalong the existing 21-inchstorm
sewer that runs east-westthat outlets tothe Mississippi River. The total drainage area
contributing to this structure is 19.2acres which has an impervious fraction of 20 percent.
The Downstream Defender is included in the Sizing Hydrodynamic Separators andManholes
(SHSAM) program developed by Barr Engineering. We have used SHSAM toevaluate the
benefits of this structure.
Inputinformationincludes drainage area (19.2acres), percent impervious(20%), precipitation
data (Golden Valley, MN), particle size distribution(MnDOT Road Sand), and influent
concentration (TSS 60mg/L). Based on this information over thetime period of 1995 to 2007 the
Downstream Defender 6is expected to have removal efficiencyof 62.5% (11500lbs TSS
removed).

Title
Resolution No. 2022-23, ApprovingChange Order No. 1for Farr Lake/Danube Pond DredgingProject
No. 603-60-20-472
Background
Attached is Change Order No. 1for the Farr Lake/Danube Pond DredgingProject No. 603-60-20-472.
This project providesstormwater maintenance for a series of ponds in the Farr Lake watershed.The work
wasperformed under a contract with Peterson Companiesof Chisago City, MN(Contractor).
The work in this project included the dredging and removal of accumulated sediment from four
pond/wetlands. Theoriginal contractamount for this project was $74,228.No changes to the contract
have been approved before this request.The work in Pay Request 1 from Peterson Companies included
excavation and disposal of 1039 tons additional sediment than estimated in the bid documents. The
total cost billed in pay request 1 was $125,755.14 (69% above bid).
Additional work and associated costwererequired due tothe volume of material to be removed from
each basin was estimatedfor the bidding processbased on field measurements. When the Contractor
began the work, the amount of sediment varied across the basins, and in one case the conditions in the
basin were found to be different and unexpected. The contractor removed all sediment in the basins
allowed under the Wetland Conservation Arearules, which will maximize the duration until further
maintenance is required.The quantity of material removed was higher than estimated and is the reason
for the additional cost. This work was completed priorthe approval of Change Order 1.
Financial Impact
All costsfor this change order will be the responsibility of the City of Fridley.Funding is provided by
the Capital Investment Plan.The Capital
Investment Program project budget of $150,000 is sufficient to fund the work fully, with no reduction
in funding to other projects.
Recommendation
Staff recommend the approval of Resolution No. 2022-23.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.

Title
Resolution No. 2022-24,Approving a Grant Agreement with Rice Creek Watershed Districtfor Farr
Lake/Danube PondStorm Sewer ModificationProject
Background
The City of Fridley (City) has been working on the improvement of ponds and wetlands in the area around
Farr Lake. Improving these ponds provides a direct benefit to Farr Lake by reducing the amount of
sediment entering the lake through stormwater runoff. In general,the plans wereto remove sediment in
four basinsaround the laketo improvethe basins appearance and operationto the maximum extent
possible.
The work in this project came from recommendations by Barr Engineering in a study of the Farr Lake area
in 2020. In late 2021, the City Council approved the Farr Lake/Danube Ponds Dredging Project, and the
work was substantially completed in January and February 2022.A second recommendation from the Barr
report was to install pretreatment devices in the manholes discharging into these ponds and Farr Lake.
Public Works applied for a Rice Creek Watershed DistrictStormwater Management Grant in late2021 for
the purpose of adding pretreatment to the areas included in the dredging project. Pretreatmentdevices
work by keeping pollutants close to the source andfacilitate maintenance. This increases the frequency
of maintenance of the structures and reduces thequantity of pollutants entering the downstream water
body.
The grant will provide for the installation of between fiveand 10 sump manholes with hydrodynamic
separator baffles and floatable skimmers. Sump manholes are effective at removing sediment and trash
from receiving waters. By trapping sediments in sump manholes,they can be easily removed. Since the
manhole structures proposed for this project are all in local streets, maintenance with the Cityhydrovac
truck is the most convenient and cost-effectivemethod of removal.
Financial Impact
Rice Creek Watershed District has awarded the City of Fridley a grant in the amount of $100,000 for
this project. Attached is the grant agreement that will enable use of the funds for this project.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.

Ordinance No. 1401, Amending the Fridley City Code Chapter 1, Legislative Body, Pertaining to Ward
and Precinct Boundaries
Background
Redistricting is the process of redrawing the boundaries of election districts
(Exhibit A) to ensure that the people of each district are equally represented. It is done in the United
States every ten years, after the completion of the decennial Census. The Constitution of the State of
Minnesota and State statutes direct what districts must be redistricted and the processes for doing such.
ordinance.
This proposed Redistricting Plan (Plan) includes no changes to ward boundaries(Exhibit B). Section 2.05
of the Charter requires the population of each ward shall not deviate by more than 3% from the average.
Based on the 2020 Federal Census the population of the City was 29,590. The population broken down
by ward is:
Total Ward Population% Deviation
Ward 110,1022.41% over average
Ward 29,896.33% over average
Ward 39,5922.7% under average
Cities are required to provide accessible and secure polling locations for municipal voters. City Clerks
follow guidelines established in State statute, by the Minnesota Secretary of State and the Anoka County
Elections Division. Certainlaws and recommended best practices include guidelines for polling locations
to be fully accessible and compliantwith the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), ease of navigation
to the polling location, and a large enough space to conduct voting procedures.
The proliferation ofAbsentee Balloting (AB), also referred to as early voting, was considered when
designing this Plan. AB begins 46 days before Election Day. Voters may request a ballot be mailed to
their home, or they may vote early at City Hall or the Anoka County Government Center. The ever-
increasing popularity of AB has caused in-person voting numbers at polling locations to steadily
decrease over the years (Exhibit C). Therefore, this Plan proposes the City go from 12 precincts down to
10. The remainder of this Report describes the proposed changes in detail.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.

Changes proposed by the Plan include a precinct boundary change between Ward 1 Precinct 1 and Ward
th
1 Precinct 2. The precinct boundary will now be along 69 Avenue and mirroring the school district
boundary between the Spring Lake Park School District and the Fridley School District. This change is
proposed to eliminate the school district split in Ward 1 Precinct 2 (Exhibit D).
This Plan recommends the combining of Ward 2 Precinct 2, which votes at Michael Servetus Unitarian
Church for these reasons:
!The building is tucked back into a residential neighborhood, so it causes confusion among voters;
!The building has a limited number of parking spaces so during high volume voting hours voters
park on the street causing congestion;
!Staff have been notified that the property is for sale and/or has been purchased by a new entity;
and
!
hours.
The new boundary of Ward 2 Precinct 2 (Exhibit B) is a significant change for Ward 2, with a large increase
from Central
Avenue, and a large space to accommodate voting.
Looking at Exhibit B, the proposed Plan include a precinct boundary change between Ward 2 Precinct 2
and Ward 2 Precinct 3. The boundary is moved to Hathaway Lane and mirrors the border between the
Fridley School District and the Columbia Heights School District. This change is proposed to eliminate
the school district splits in both precincts (Exhibit D).
Changes proposed by the Plan include a precinct boundary change between Ward 3 Precinct 1 and Ward
th
3 Precinct 2. The precinct boundary would change from the railroad to now extend further along 79
Way to the east to Main Street, removing the Fridley School District. This change is proposed to eliminate
the school district split in Ward 3 Precinct 1 (Exhibit D).
This Plan recommends the reorganization of Ward 3 Precinct 3, which votes at Fridley Covenant Church
for these reasons:
!This building is in a residential neighborhood, occasionally causing parking issues;
!The building, while ADA compliant, makes getting to the basement voting space difficult for
anyone with limited mobility;
!The voting space in the basement of the church is small with no natural light and is difficult to
control he temperature; and
!Fridley Covenant Church operates Manna Market Food Shelf, which shuts down its operations to
accommodate voting activities.
This proposed change essentially divides the precinct in half, some of the registered voters will now vote
at Stevenson Elementary and some will now vote at Redeemer Lutheran Church.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.
264

Financial Impact
The City plans to mail postcards to those registered voters in the affected areas. Staff estimate the cost
of such a postcard mailing to be approximately $800, which will be paid out of the Elections budget
for 2022.
Recommendation
Staff recommend the City Council conduct a first reading of Ordinance No. 1401.
