He stated that the gravel street creates a dirty condition in the homes of the residents, aud makes hazardous driving in the wintertime. The visitor stated that the cost of the improvement is rising each year, and the mst to the City of maintenance of the street is great.

Another visitor stated that there is no need for the improvement of- Hugo Street. IIe stated that there is too much traffic on Hugo Street now, and paving it will increase the amount of traffic on the street. He stated, further, that persons favoring this improvemettt need drivers training, because they favor the improvement only so they could [ravel up the hlll on Hugo Street. This visitor stated thathe lived on Hugo Street for IS years and could stand living there for another 18 years without seeing the improvement�made, The visitor asked if tite City has any figures on the cost of fi11 and grading for these streets. Councilman Sheridan answered that the Engineering Department and Street Department do not break down the cost of enaintenance for each street, but keep records of the costs and maintenance for the entire City, Councilman Sheridan pointed out that maintenance of dirt streets used up most of the street maintenance budget last year, and that the greatest share of these costs was for grading them. Mayor Nee stated that zt is in the best interests of the City to have all these streets paved. Another visitor to the Council Meeting asked if there were any petitions for fl7e improvement of Glencoe, Hugo, and Longfellow Streets. The City Manager answered that there were no petitions for Longfellow Street.

Another visitor asked what improvements are contemplated for Riverview Terrace. The City Engineer answered that the City plans to construct a 24 foot roadway on Riverview Terrace if it can obtain help from the Federal Government to protect the riverbank, Mayor Nee stated that it would be necessary to provide riprap and fill along Riverview Terrace in order to make paving of Riverview Terrace worthwhile. He stated that the City has reviewed costs for riprapping to support the riverbank along all of Riverview Terrace, and the City's share of these costs would amount to approximately $350,000. Mayor Nee stated that the City could not afford to carry on this pro�ect without Federal help, A visitor to the Council Meeting asked what will be the width of the streets. The City Engineer answered that the width would be 31 feet. The City Enginepr stated that if Riverview Terrace and Broad Street are not included in this improvement, the cost of the improvement would be reduced to approxi- mately $8 per front foot. Mayor Nee stated that the reason for this reductian in cost is that the costs of improvement on Riverview Terrace are assessed ' ia�ainst the property on only one side of the street. A visitor to the Council Meeting asked whether the property on the east-west streets connecting with Riverview Terrace will be assessed again when Riverview Terrace is improved. Mayor Nee stated that normally cross streets are assessed one-half block back from the intersection for the improvement of side streets alang the 1/3 the front footage of side pard lot lines along the side street. Mayor Nee stated, however, that some of these pro�erties face Riverview Terrace and this would camplicate the assessment for construction of Riverview Terrace. A visitor to the Councxl Meeting asked if two or three of the streets in this area were paved, what would be done with the storm sewer construction in the future, Mayor Nee stated that no mially the City tries to avoid the use of valley gutters to carry water across street intersections. Mayor Nee stated, however, � � � ��� that if the construction of stotm sewer to carry the water away from the street intersections is too expensive, the City wou7d use valley gutters for this purpose, Mayor Nee stated that if any portion of this sto� sewer system is constructed, then assessments would be levied agalnst the entire staxm sewez district whether the paving was done or not. Councilman Wright stated that the visitors present should talk to their neighbors, taking note of the facts given at this hearing, and submit revised petitions for the xmprovements, Councilman Wright stated that, if the Council receives a petition by November 30th, the petition can be processed by December 6th, and the Council could act on the improvement at that time. A visitor asked whether these petitions wonld be acCed on by the Council by street or by axea. Mayor Nee stated that the Counc�l will cottsider the �mpzovement of one street at a time.

A visitor to the Council Meeting asked whether the City received a petrtion for the improvement of 69th Way from East River Road to Hickory ➢rive Mayor Nee answered that the City has not xeceived such a petition, but included 69th Avenue in this construction since the Council believes it would be beneficial to the City to have this street improved. The visitor stated thae he believes the property owners on 69th Avenue are opposed to this improvement Another visitor asked why they were informed that it would be necessary to 6ui1d concrete streets because the water table is fairly high in this area, and the City is now proposing constructl,on of blacktop streets. Mayor Nee answered that construction of the storm sewer system would relieve the condition caused by the high water table and not make it necessary to build concrete streets_ Another r�isitor asked why cost estimates are higher than the costs quoted for constructlon of the stxeet before. Mayor Nee answered that the previous costs given to these property owners were based on a favorable contract which the City obtained for street construction He stated that costs of street con- struction generally rise each year and this estimate reflects the increased cost, 2�� Another visitor stated that he signed the petition for construction of the street improvement in the belief the storm sewer wa�not included in the construction of the street, but if it would be necessary to construct a storm sewer system he did not know whether he would favor construction of these streets or not. Councilman Wright stated that there was a delay between the time the petition was given to the City for the improvement and the time the estimates were made for improvement of the street, He stated that if the signers of the petition find the cost of the improvement is too great, the City will allow anyone to remove his name from the petition.

He stated he did not wish to sign a complaint against his neighbors who find it necessary to drive through his yard instead of using the City street.

He stated that the parking lo_ for the Knights of Columbus building is not completely laid out, and that he believes it would be better if automobiles would be able to drive from T.H, ��65 East Service Drive into the park�ng lot at any point, rather than having to use definite driveways . Counc�lman Sheridan asked the City Engineer whether construction of the EasC Service Drive includes concrete curb and gutter on both sides of the service drive, The City Engineer answered that this is correct and matches standards which the City follows in street construction. Councilman Sheridan stated that the Minnesota Highway Department does not provide curb and gutter on both sides of the service drives, but only on the side nearest Che highway The City Engineer stated that yf concxete curb and gutter are ommitted on one side of the sexvice drive, the cost for construction of ehe street impxovemene wi11 be lower by approximately $2.15 per front foot, Mr. Harstad stated that if the City eliminates construction of concrete curb and gutters from this improvement, the Knights of Colum6us may favor improvement of the cross street. Mr, Minder stated that he would prefer that half the empty lot which he owns on the T.H. ��65 EasY Sexvice Drive not have concrete curb and gutter He stated that the concrete curb and gutter, if it is installed, may have to be removed to make provision for driveways or parking lots depending upon what use is made of this lot in the future, Mayor Nee asked Mr. Minder whether he would suggest that the City drain the water fro��he street inta the highway ditch rather than into a storm sewer system.

Mayor Nee stated that this he� zng is not an assessment hearing, the actual assessments wi11 be determined at a separate assessment hearing and the property owners would receive credit for the part of the constxuction which can be used to make the new construction, such as, any useable base on the present street. He stated that this would reduce the cost to approximately $11 per foot. Mr, Gibbs was present at the Council Meeting representing the apartment house owner and he stated the apartment house owner favors construction of this street improvement, A visitor asked how Lucia Lane will be drained once the improvement is made. � The City Engineer answered that the water will run down the street into a hole where the water is xunning now.

The v�sitor answered that paving will wash at the intersection of McKinley and 66th Avenue Northeast if the improvement does not extend to Mississippi Street. He stated that water will undermine the paving and the paving wi11 break up. A visitor stated that this is the third time he has circulated a petition in this area for improvement of these streets. He stated that the main reason people do not wish to sign a petition for improvement between 66th Avenue and Mississippi Street on McKinley Street is that they do�not wish to pay for draining this portion of the street Mayor Nee asked how many of the visitors favored construction of this pro�ect. Fourteen visitors favored construction of the pro�ect and four opposed it.

Mr. Schroeder stated that Ruth Street is impassable when it rains, He stated that the appearance of the neighborhood isn't helped by the condition of the streets. He stated that wind blows the dust around creating a bad condition for the neighborhood, and improvement of the streets will lower the cost, to the City, of maintaining these streets. He stated that costs of the improvement will be more in the future, and the only reason for opposing this constrixction,as far as he was concerned, is the cost of the construction at the present time. He stated that he favors construction of the improvement as do the other property owners. One visitor stated that he opposes construction of Liberty Street, and he � , � 28� stated he does not believe there is a petition for the improvement of Liberty Street.

Another visitor stated that he ob7ected to the improvement sznce construction of the street will include construction along undeveloped property, and futuxe connections ot sewer and water will ruin the street. He stated also that it will be impossible to te11 where driveways for these houses wi11 be located. Councilman Sheridan answered that connections to the sewer and water services could be made 5 feet from the curb line of the slireet and such construction should not damage the street.

ALLEY BETWEEN 4tP.�I STREET AND STH STREET NOATHEAST - 53RD AVENUE TO 54TH AVENUE � NORTHEAST: Mayor Nee stated that the estimated cost is $2.14 per foot for construction of a blacktop alley and $4.40 per foot for construction of a concrete alley, Councilman Wright stated that this was discussed by the Council at a previous meeting. He stated that he does not believe construction of the alley would set a precedent for construction of all the other alleys in the City of Fridley, but he stated that he believes it would be worthwhile to build this alley as a pilot pro�ect to dete�ine whether construction of the a11ey was wotthwhile. He stated that the City Engineer strongly recommends construction of a concrete alley rather than an asphalt alley based on information concerning the maintenance of asphalt alleys in the rest of the country. He stated that construction of an asphalt alley wrthout curbs and fixm edges wi11 generaly cause an aspha7t alley to break up and the cost of maintaining such an alley is not worth the cost of constructing it. Visitors stated that they favor construction of an asphalt alley rather than a concrete alley since the alley wi11 have very little traffic, Maqor Nee stated that the choice is strictly up to the propexty oWners, but the City Engineer recommends construction of a concrete alley. A nother visitor asked cahether the alley would be built in a straight line or , whether rt would offset around existing garages and telephone poles. Council- man Wright stated that the right of way is a straight line in the alley. The City L,ngineer stated that the alley is a 12' right of way and paving wi11 be 10 feet wide, A visitor asked whether assessments for construction of the a11ey could be spread. Mayor Nee answered that construction oE an asphalt alley might be spread over a 10 year period. Co�ncilman tidright stated that the proposal does not contain plans for drainage. He explained that it would be expensive to drain the alley to the street, and the a11ey would have to drain to the side propetties. A visitor suggested that the a11ey be made to drain down the middle and that the a11ey be cupped rather than crowned, Councilman Wright stated that cupp�.ng the alley would create a depression in the a11ey, and the water would stand in it ruzning the pavement. He stated that the City Engineer considered raising the eleva- t ion of the depression in the alley. He stated that there are garages along the alley and filling the low spot to provide drainage with a cupped construction requires that the alley be raised one foot above the level of some of t6e garages built along the alley. He stated that these garages are built too near the alley to enable the property owners to drive from their garages onto the alley if the a11ey were raised this one foot. He stated that the alley wi11 be highez than back yards along the alley, if the alley �s raised one foot, and will trap water in the yard. He stated that in order to drain the alley onto 53rd Avenue Northea$, it would be necessary to raise � the construction of the alley one foot. Mayor Nee stated that the only other alternative is building the a11ey with a crown. Councilman Wright stated that another consideration is whether the unpaved road on the north end of the a11ey should be paved toz z block. Councilman Sheridan stated that property owners have figures of the construction costs now and should discuss them with their neigh6ors, circulate a petition among the neighbors and bring it to the City. Mayor Nee asked the property owners present whether they wished to have construction of the alley with these costs. The property owners answered, "Yes," No one opposed this con- struction.

A visitor asked why the City should construct this road, Mayor Nee answered that construction of this road to MSAS standards wi11 take the truck traffic off the other streets. Mrs. Robert Swanson stated that she owns property along Ashton Avenue and would like to develop this property or sell it.

Councilman Wright stated that he believes the Ci�y will have to determine in each case whether a given property is a building site, make it clear to the public that each case must be detexmined on its merits, and that assessments wi11 not be abated unZess it is clearly shown that the property for which a connection charge is made 291 is definitely not a building site. He seated that he does not believe this sets a precedent detrLmental to the interests of the City. Councilman Thompson asked how it would be possible to apply a fonnula which would provide ar. equitable abatement to Mr. King. He stated that the charges were made with 75% of the costs assessed against each building site and 25% against the front footage of the property, and many of the assessments have already been paid. Councilman Wright stated that Mr. King has already agreed not to ask for a refund of the assessments which have been paid.

He stated that generally when the City 7ets a contract, it is awarded for a given amount of money_ The contractoz completes the work and is paid The City treated the Jaycees in this manner, and now the Saycees submit an additional hi11. Councilman Sheridan stated Chat the City does not have funds to pay this bill unless it can obtain funds from Federal payments for disaster work Councilman Sheridan stated that he did not know whether it would be possible for the Citp to obtain Federal funds to pay this bi11. Councilman Kirkham stated that the City had a contracl- for buildi:g the Moore Lake Beachhouse and has passed a change order to effect an add � on Co the contract after the beach house was dedicated. He stated that in a similar fashion, the City could pass a change order to accommodate the Jaycees. Councilman Kirkham sald that the Jaycees have done additional work over and above the contract, and he believes zt would only be fair to pass a change order and re�mburse them for the additional work � Councilman Thompson stated that originally there was a contract agreement fa� a specified number of dollars. He stated that the Jaycees did the work properly and he believes that the additional work was also done properly He asked whether there was an additional grant for the trees and stumps which the Jaycees xemoved. The City Manager stated that the City wanted to clean out the area in order to create a larger p�.cnic area in Locke Park He stated that he believes this pro�ect could be paid with Federal disaster funds, since the work was caused by the tornado. Mr. Sandau stated that the additional work done by the contractor was supervised by Yhe Jaycees. Mayor Nee asked why it was supervised by the Saycees and not by City employees. The City Manager answered that the Jaycees were doing the work in Locke Park and since the Adm�nistration believed that Federal funds would cover the pick-up of debrzs from the tornado, he believed the Jaycees may as well have the responsibilrty for cleaning up the additional debris and supervising the work of the contractor doing so. The City Manager stated that the City is asking for a supplemental payment for tornado disaster debris funds, and there might be a possibility that Lhe City could add the additional bi11 of the Jaycees to that amount, Councilman Kirkham asked the City Manager how soon he would know whether these funds could be reimbursed from Federal disaster payments. The City Manager answered Chat he would know in two to four weeks. He stated that obta�ning the additional ' Federal funds would require another inspection by an inspecCion team after the supplemental request was made. Councilman Kirkham stated that rhe Jaycees are amateurs and not professional contractors. He stated that the Jaycees did more work than they contracted, that the work the 7aycees do benefits the City in that it develops the park property for a11 of the City, and the payment made to the Jaycees is expended in other public projects also of benefit to the City. Mayor Nee asked whether the C�ty requested the Saycees to do this additional work. Mr. Sandau stated that the parks department asked them to perform the additional work. Mayor Nee asked Mr. Sandau whether this request of the Parks Department expanded upon the work done by the Jaycees under the original contract. 19� Mr. Sandau answered, ^Yes." The City Manager stated that this is the first disaster pro�ect which the City has handled. He stated that the City has never before required Federal funds for disaster work, and does not know a11 the details and red tape required to obtain these Federal funds. $e stated that he did not know whether this additional work would be covered by Federal funds or not, and he would have to talk to the Adjutant General`s oEfice to find out whether it would be possible to get these supplements approved. Mayor Nee asked Paul Brown whether he had anything to do with the additional work done by the Jaqcees. Paul Ilrown stated that Item A as glven in the Saycees supplemental report was in the contract. Councilman Wright asked � whether only Ztem A was in the contract. Mr. Sandau stated that Item A was in the contract, but not all of Item A was in the contract. Councilman Wright asked whether Items B through � then were not the additional work, but were in the cnntract. Mr. Sandau answered, "Yes." Councilman Kirkham asked Mr. Sandau whether the contract called for cutting out the stumps and whether the Jaycees removed them. Mr. San3au answered that the Jaycees removed the stumps in the picnic area. Councilman Wright asked Mr. Sandau whether it was correct then, that before performing worlc listed in Items A through �, the Jaycees should have oUtained a change order, but the additional bi11 only covers the additional cost in Ttem A. Roger Sandau answered that this is correct, Pau1 Brown stated that the Jaycees took these logs out of the area and cut them into chips. He stated that 80 loads of chips were taken out of the area, over the ridge, and put in crevices, caused by erosion, to fill these crevices. He stated that trucks hired by the Jaycees did this work. Paul Brown stated that he believes this was part of the disastez cleanup and would be covered by these funds. He stated that the City would have to hire a truck to do this same work if tfie City were to do it instead o£ the Jaycees. Councilman Wright asked Paul Brown whether he gave his verbal okay to the Jaycees to do this vork, Paul brown answered, "Yes." Councilman Wright asked Paul Brown what discussion he had with the Saycees to reimburse them for doing the extra work and paying the contractor's costs. Paul Brown saLd that there was no discussion o£ this item. Councilman Wright asked Roger Sandau whether this was correct, Mr. Sandau answered, "Yes." The City Manager stated that it was a shorter haul ' to dump this debris into the crevises in Locke Park than it was to haul it to a dump and get rid of it. Pau1 Brown stated that ofEicials from the Forestry ;�epartment recommended that the City use chips to £ill the crevices, and stated that the Jaycees made a log bed in the crevices, put in the chips and put dirt on top to prevent erosion. Paul Brman stated that more work needs to be done to prevent further erosion in other places in Locke Park, He stated that he belives the Jaycees did a fine �ob. Harold Calender, a member of the Saycees, stated that he believes tfie erosion resulted from rains accompanying the tornado. Councilman Wright stated that he recognizes that the Jaycees is an amateur organization a nd that the Saycees have contri6uted a great deal to the City. He stated, however, that he must criticize the Jaycees £or not handling the contract zn the same way a professional contractor would do xt. He stated that if the Jaycees were going to enter bids and ask for a contract, they should handle their affairs so that it xs not necessary for them to come with hat in hand to the City for additional funds. Mr. Sandau stated that the 7aycees are citizens of Fridley and want to help the City build a good park. He said that they were not �oncerned at the time they carried out this extra work with receiving extra payment far the same. Councilman Wright stated that the City follows an orderly procedure in dealzng with contractors, and would like to have done the same wi�h the Jaycees. Councilman Wright stated that he believes the Jaycees were given rights to � the firewood. He asked how much money the Saycees made from the sale of the firewood. Mr. Sandau answered that the Jaycees have sold $5 worth of firewood Ae stated that people do not want to buy the firewood until it is put in a conditlon such that it is immediately useable; namely, the logs cut up and the wood split. Councilman Wright stated that if the Jaycees were to put the firewood into saleable condition, they would have an income from the fixewood. Mr. Sandau answered that it is difficult to split this wood before it is dry, and also it is difficult to sell the wood before it is dry. Mayor Nee stated that the Public Examiner will be in the City of Fridley shortly and wi11 be looking at the uses of funds by non-public agencies, and that he � � i � � would not like to see a bi11 for work that should have been done under a ehange order, done without proper authorization by the City Council He stated, however, that as long as a member of the Administration directed the Jaycees or allowed the 7aycees to do this extra work, the City should accept responsi- bility for it. He stated that he believes the change order should be brought before the Council, with the proper documentation, in order to bring everything into legal foxm for the Public Examiner. Councilman Thompson asked how the City will pay for the change order if the Federal Govexnment does not approve the application for additional funds. The City Manager stated that he Uelieves it would be possible to find the funds to pay for the change order somewhere, � Motion by Kirkham to direct the City Administration to prepare a Change Order encompassing the additional work performed by the Suniar Chamber of Commerce in Locke Park, instruct the City Manager to attempt to obta ui Federal reim- bursement for the costs of the change order and d�rect the Administration to pay the bill presented by the 3unior Chamber of Commerce.

Councilman Sheridan asked how the dispatchers are employed, The City Manager stated that the dlspatchers are temporary employees, paid 1/2 from the Fire Department budget and 1/2 from the Police Department budget. Mayor Nee asked how it would be possible to replace th�ee dispatchers with two policemen and obtain more dispatching work Councilman Kirkfiam answered that the dispatchers work part time. The City Manager stated that the plan is to have the secretar� of the police department continue �o serve as daytime dispatcher, and have the other policemen on at night. He stated that in this way there would be additional trained policemen as dispatchers on the �ob able to do the �ob of police dispatching better. � Robert Hughes was pxesent at the Council Meeting representing the volunteer firemen, He stated that the volunteer firemen questioned why the dispatchers should be policemen and not firemen. The City Manager answered that 99-9/10% of the dispatchers work is police work rather than work for the Fire Department, Mr. Hughes stated that Mr. Blosky, who was a member of the Volunteer Fire Department, was in�ured during a fire and would need some foxm of employment. He stated that he would qualify as dispatcher, but he would not be qualified to act as a policeman. He stated that Mr. Blonsky was interested in having this position, but that he would not qualify under the age limit of the Police Department sznce he xs 37 and the Police Departmen's age limit is 35. He stated that there are two men who could act as dispatchers but they are both above the age limzt for recruitment by the Police Department. Mr. Hughes stated, further, that the dispatcher would be working forty hours� a week as a dispatcher even though he were to work the rest of the time as a policeman. The City Manager stated that the Chief of Police spent considerable time planning this change. He stated that the Chief of Police also found that he needs a man trained in police work to act as a dispatcher. Councilman Sheridan asked the City Manager whether this memo is complete in a11 of its fiscal details. He stated that when the budget was discussed he was told that in order to hire two additional policemen, the City must spend closer to $20,000 because of the need to provide additional equipment, uniforms and so on. The Citq Manager stated that with the addition of $100 for a � uniForm to the salary of the dispatcher, the dispatchers salary would be $6,012 plus the $100 uniforra which would be $6,112 and twice that is $12,224 as given in the memo from the Police Chief. Councilman Sheridan stated that there are additional costs such as retirement payments for the employees, health insurance, and other payments. He stated he believes these should be added to this figure. The City Manager stated that he could bring in an exact figure. Mayor Nee asked why a police officer would make a better dispatcher. Council- man Kirkham answered that a police officer as a dispatcher would have more authority than a dispatcher would have himself. The City Manager stated that the dispatchers possibly would be rotated with police work in order to maintain training as pollcemen. The Mayor stated that in that event the policemen would not be specialized dispatchers Mr. Hughes stated that it would be possible for the City to obtain three dispatchers full t�me at the cost of $450 per month each, starting wages. He stated these dispatchers could serve as police officers. Mr. Hughes stated also that the secretary of the Police Department does a good �ob of dispatching, and he sees no reason why the change should be made. He stated that in the City of Robbinsdale, the dispatcher is a member of the Fire Depaxtment and he believes this could also be done in the City of Fridley. The City Manager stated that a part time dispatcher is not as dependable as a full time employee. He stated that it is neeessarp for the dzspatchers to sleep at some time during � the night, and during this time the City has no dispatcher on duty, He stated that a fnll time dispatcher would be an asset and a benefit to the City, and the cost would not differ much from those given by the Police Chief, Mayor Nee stated that he believes there is more information concerning this change that could be given to the Council than was presented in the agenda. Motion by Thompson to receive the memo from the Chief of Police, to concur wxth the recommendation of the Police Chief and the City Manager and to hire two additional policemen to act a:� full time paid dispatchers Seconded by Kirkham, for purposes of discussion.

The City Engineer stated that the Minnesota Highway Department will construct curb on both sides of the East Service Drive,and the City will assess the property owners for part of the cost.

He stated that he submitted a plan for inspection of the lines prior to performance of this work, and that the estimated cost of the work is $44D,000, P1r. Goctstein stated that three weeks ago this plan was reviewed at a meeting attettded by the Minnesota Director of Public Health, the Federal Health Officer, the City Manager, the City Engineer, and the City Consulting Engineer. He stated that the following day three inspection teams lifted 450 manholes in the City of Fridley to verify the report of American Pipe Services. He stated that the inspectors detexmined that the amount of �l�gible work should be cut 28% from the 50% of the work originally propo�ed by American Pipe Sexvices and which the Federal inspecYors had accepted prior to the inspection, He stated that this leaves 17 miles of sewer in the City of Fridley to be cleaned. He said that the inspectors took the position that some of the sewer cleaning work which needs to be dona is not eligible for raimbursement under the requirements af the Office of Emergency Planning He stated that the inspectors decided that sealing the sanrtary sewers and TV inspection of the sanitary sewers is not el�gible for reimbursement with OEP funds. He sta[ed that if sealing does become necessary, then TV inspection may be used to find the exact places where it is necessary to seal the sanitary sewers, and the cost then would be borne by the Federal Government. He stated that some of the TV inspection might be conducted by the City, paid by City funds, and the detennination made later based upon the use of the TV inspection whether some of these funds are eligible for reimbursement Yrom OEP disaster fun,ds. Mr. Gottstein stated that the Federal Government approved $166,875.65 for � sewer cleaning work. He stated tfiat two miles of the sanitary sewer system could not be inspected because the lines were full of water. He stated that of these lines he estimated 75% need sonie kxnd of repair work.
