ment on the previous Saturday as per discuss�on at the las� council
meeting and the letter before the City Council this evenin� was the tabu-
lation of the meeting they had had.

be �58,015,00. Seconded by ;v'right, Councilman Sheridan stated he had been
❑nable to make the meeting the previous night and inqvired if there were an}�
further information he had not received. Councilman Johanson stated the
officers of the Fire Department wished to discuss with members of the City
Council several types and samples of brick veneer bearing in mind this
would be what they wotald have on the entire Civic Center� that there were
approximately 15 samples which had been discussed and had narrowed the choice
to three samples.
City Attorney Smith stated one other thing on this motion iaas that they
were contemplating the L'iremen's Relief Association �aould be enter�_ng into
the contract and they were co-workers on it. He fur�her s�ated he merel,y
wished the councLl to understand there were some instruments to draw and
the contract should be satisfactory to the City Council as well as the Board
� of the Firemen's Relief Association and that? perhaps, there should be a
coumrittee of the council to work with the Firemen's Relief Association or
the city manager to have a �oint zaorking arrangement, Nis�. Donald Savelkoul,
attorney for the Firemen's Rellef Association� stated there was no legal
stumbling blockr that they had dedided that it was entirely appropriate
to proceed in the manner that the members had decided to follow and assumed
the City Attorney was talking about the technzcalities anddetsils oi' the
contract. He further �§tied he felt the depe�rtmental representatives could
work as a group on these items with the Cai,y Counc�l. City Atitorney Smii:h
stated they had originally talked about a three year payofi on the lease
��
and� within the City Council� it was felt five years would be better and
inqulred 1F this 4�ould be ob�ectionable. Robert Aldricha secretary of the
building cor¢nittee� stated tney would have no objection to this and no set
date was determined for the purpose and �ow fast the pay off should be�
th�t it zaas an investment for the Flremen's Relief Association. Mr. Savelkoul
stated� from a legal point of view� it didn't matter if the term was for
three or five years.
Councilman Johanson stated it was suggested a� the meeting previously held�
that the City Manager should be instructed to remove the pump at the ,
exYSting well house tind to get in touch with the State Highway Department
for an emergency crossing ln front of the Fire Department, that al�o� there
was some concern shown about a power pole in front of the Fire Department.
Mr. Bernard Wolke� former councilman� stated they were planning on building
a fire station without a p�oper aecess end he was concerned aUout how they
were going to get on University Avenue. Mr. iaolke inquired if the State
Highway Department had given the City of Tridley anything in writing re-_
garding this emergency crossin� that they couldn"t build a building and
say they couldn't get out onto the highway and if they had to drive up the
service drzve in order to get on Mis issippi Street, it would be unaccept-
able. Ms•. Wolke further statefl that before any cantract was let� this
should be resolved, Ma,yor Nee inquired if Councilman Johanson wished to
amend his motion to place these conditions to it. Councilman Sohanson
stated he could see no problems. City Engineer Qureshi informed the
members of the C�ty Council it was the op�nion of Mr. McCubrey of the
Minnesota State bepartment that it would be very probable the department
wauld allow the emergency crossingy tiiat they would give an answer in
tariting. Fire Chief Hughes inquired ii. in the motion, they aould
include Alternate �3 and was told it iaas included in the entire bid.
Councllman Sheridan reque�ted the floor and st�ted he had not felt the
Fire Department should be attiached to this building� that it should be
removed from this site and be put on a site in elo�e proximity to this
area by itself and, because he had brought this to the attention of tihe '
City Council in general discussiont he ha� followed it through at their
request and did get some additional information on it. He explained the
pro�lem arised as to how they could possibly finance the new szte with an
eatirely new building and there Taere two reasons for his bringin� this to
the council's attention� on� being that the station should be located
elsewhere and secondly it would glve this site more room ior its eventual
development if the Cit✓ic Center were to be developed on the present site.
Councilman Sherzdan stated that� ln tne interim� between the time the
coxnmunity could afford such a Civic Center, the possibility of removing
tlze Council and CourL- Chambers an3 taking over the two iire �talls could
be used for Court and Counci] Chambers leaving the present area used for that
purpose to be er.panded and glve more room ior the people working. He
expla3ned it all reached the same conclusion he had just made and that
u�as a financing pioblem� that hel7edn't found a solution to it in such a
short time, that they certainly d-id need addational space for the Pzre
Department and equipment� that he did r�ish it were being erected elsewhere
but he hadn't been able to reach a solution in the t3me allotted in
removing it from the present site. Mr, Carl Paulson resident, was present
and stated there T��as a section of property �ust to the South of the present
City Hall and it was avai3able and for sale and if the Czty Cour.cil would
wish to hold this over �n� give considerat�onr thas could be looked into.
Mayor Nee expl�ined to Mr. P�ulson that property 4�ould cost $158�000 and
the present inetallation Viould be �5Hy000� Nlr. Paulson explained the
building on the property could be utilized for equapment. Counc�lman
Johanson stated there had been a great deal of time expended in trying �
to come to a decision on this matter and when he had attended the meeting
of t.he Fire Deparcment� he had passed on to them the fealzngs of the City
Councll. The oificers oi i.he Fire Department had stated at this meetingy
they Selt the best site For �he iire barn iras the present oner that time
and money had been spent in this matter �nd they could continue like this
for years, Councilman �ohanson stated that� he felt, everything tnat ca�ld
be done had been done.

Mayor Nee announced a suggested amendment to Chapter 4g which had been
previously tabled and still th�ughi they should do more work on the item,
Councilman Sheridan stated they would not� in any eventia be passing on the
atem this evening. The City Manager explained i;he reason the item had beea
� placed on the agenda z7as tHat it had been tabled to this particular meet-
ing and the Cxty Attorney had prepared the presentation. Mayor Nee s+atea
his ob�ection to the �mendment was thai, it abandonned the inspectson,
Councilman Johanson stated that something should be done on the amendment
inmiediately as he had seen another set of plans tnis evening for a building
contemplated on East River Road. Mayor Nee explained the question present
was the registration and the reglstrat3an =ees and pro�des for registra-
tlon without inspection. City Attorney Smith stated that Mr. Aldrich of
the Fire Department had presented an explanation on the pxevious agenda
and all he had done was taken that proposal and numbered ii. to fit the ccade
and gone over Chapter �+9 of the code and eliminated a portaon of rt. He
further Gtated there had been a good deal in the chapter that c�ealt with
�tandards for multiple dwellings and these had all been left in but what
had been eliminated was the part that was decl�red unconstitutional re-
garding the inspection and licensing, He explained the Fire Inspection
Department doesn't have any registration to sho*a �aho owns an apartment
building and who is responsible and this requires a$5,00 fee and registra-
tion; ?urther� that thi� is similar to the Minneapolis code, Mayo-r Nee
inquired if the rlght to perform a fire inspection would be included.
City Attorney Smith replied they would have the rlght if there were a fire.
Councilman Sheridan inquired if the Court had termed tnis invading some-
one's privacy. City Atto�ney Smith stated it violates the constitutional
guaranty and Fridley does not have the right -co go into private apart;ments�
that the ordinance was very broad in all aspect� of inspectzon and in
�etting owners to register would accomplish some of the purposes that
, would keep the same standards in. City Attorney Smith further stated
it might be necessary to do more amending �nd that could be taken care of
at a later date, that this was merely the first step. Mayor Nee inquired
if the other parts of the ordinance were still being enforeed. City
Attorney Smith replied he presumed so. He further stated that in the
old ordinance it referred to the parties licensed having to do several
things and this was why the language in the ordlnance rras changed, that
there was a question in nis mind if these items could be enforced when
they are not licensed and not registered. Cii.y Attorney Smith stated
that� at the present time� tihere is no one licensed, Counczlman Sheridan
inquired of the City Council if a hearing date should be set on this
item for some time in February.

CITY CLERK MGMO: LOT 30, BLOCI� 4� PLYMOUTH A➢DITION:
Mayor Nee announcen there was a corrmiunicatinn from the city clerl: regarding �
Lot 30", Block ��, I'lymovth 2ddition. The City Mana�er explaaned to the CLty
Council tne City llttorney had written a letter which said the lot was abstract
property and it was suggested selling by quit claim deed, The City Manager
stated it should be mnde very clear the special assessments are not included
in the sale or theproperty For tne amount mentioned. Czty fSttorney Smith
stated he didn't recall the condemha+ion but it was a condemna+ion that he had
brought forth for parlc purposes and felt the tro lots combined should be a good
piece of property, N1r. Tarpy who wished to purchase lot was present and ctated
the lot wasn`t woxth the money they had mentioned. Councilman Johanson inquired
what Lot 29 next to the affected property iaas worth by itself. Mr. Tarpy
stated thls would have to be determined� ii lot 30 was kept for park property
it would be valuable property. Mr. Tarpy further stated if the pr3ce of Lot 30
were too hign it was likely he would not be interested and ;aished to know the
consensus of the Caty Counci.l. Councilman Johanson inqUired if starting with
a figure of �1�000 for the additional lot� Mr. Tarpy taouldn`t come ap with a
good buildting sitz for �2�Op0. City Attorney S mith stated one otker thought
was that Mr, marpy should rely on his own attorney as to advice and as to
title and suggested he could give Mr. Tarpy a quit claim deed. He further
stated the deed might not have to be cleared but he would suggest since thzs
was Mr. Tarpy's responsibility that he should know this and what the city
would do would be to give up any interest in the land, that at the time the
City of Pridley acquired the lot� it was �ax forfeit and the tltle may be
sa±isfactory. Councilman idright inquired if they shouldn't consult with
the Parkw and Playgrounds Sub-Committee for en addition to their park of
49th and Main Street� that it had been brought to their attention that in '
the area south of �100� they were deficient an@ there should be some indica-
tion from thie committee on what they are planning. Mayor Nee inquared how
much Mr. 'Farpy would sell his lot to tihe City for. Mr, Tarpy explained
the land is not ad,7acent to the park� the land r�as at the other end of the
block. Councalman i^7r1ght stated he wished to withdraw his co�nent. Mayor
Nee inquired ii' NLr. Tarpy would sell his land and iahat he would need in money
for the sale. Mr. Tarpy stated he didn't knowy that he felt it was worth
about �1y000. Councilman Johanson stated they had just oifered Mr. Tarpy
the lot next to tnis i'or $250.00 plus assessment. �
tl S �
Motion by Johanson that Loti 30, BlocY 4, P15�outh �ddition be placed for sale
and available to Mr, T�rpy £or $1�000 with condrtions of title to be worked out
with City Attorney or $250,00 plus the assessments_ Mr. Tarpy inquired when the
aseessment� would have to be paid. The Finance Officer stated these assessments—
were levied in 1954 and had been certified, that there was no assessment certifi-
cation at the Couaty now� so the City Councll would have to recertzfy it ov2r
some period of years� that� at the present time, it is a lump sum. City Attor-
ney Smith stated this explained why there weren't assessments on Lot 29r the
' amount of the assesment would be what there would be for about 80 feet and
somehow this did get onto Lot 30 but not on Lo� 29. He further stated there
would ba no problem iS Mr. Tarpy wants time on the assessment portion. Council-
man Sheridan stated it was his understanding that Lot 29 is not clea: as �ar as
the County is concerned and before they would enter znto any negotiiation� they
should see proof of ownership on Lot 29� that it was a forfeiture. Councilman
Sheridan itzrther stated there was �ust recentily an apprai�al that was not
tiurned into the County Board and without Lot 29} this lot is of no value to
this gen�leman ana until such time as he could give proof of ot�nership, the
City of Fridley could make no deal. Motion died for lack of a second.
