MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to remove this motion frorn the
table and bring it back for action. Seconded by Councilman Liebl.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared th�
motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Liebl said that th e City Administration has sent
numerous lett�ers to the f�.rm asking that their representative be
present at one of the Council Meetings, plus telephone calls. The
City Manager said that he had not receivecl any calls as]cing that
they be placed on the Agenda. Councilman Liebl said that f�oxwath
and Horwath did not seem to be interested in getting this situation
�esolved. He said that he felt that the firm has not kept faith
with the contract as written. Ha said that he would still like to
act on this motion for denial of payment, and instruct the City
Attorney to take the necessary action.
Mayor I{irkham said that he would have to refuse to vote lor denial
oi payment. He said that this Council hired a tirm to malce a
study, and this they did, whether the results were to our liking
or not. He said that the contract was rather simple, the City agreed
to pay a firm a certain amount of money ior a study.
Councilman Sheridan said i.hat he ielt very strongly that_ when a
consultant of any kind is hired, he should be available Lor dis-
cussion at a Counca.l Meeting. He said that all the Csty is as];ing
is that he appear. Mr. Pikul has not ap�earec7 in the City o�
Fridley before this Council, even thouyh he was asked L-o apE�c.ar
when he presented his repor�. Fie said that he felt that ur:til
such time as they agree to appear at a Council Meeting tha� he woulcl
like to see a refusal of payment.
The City Attorney said tliaL- he did not reel thac Councilman
Sheridan's comments were out of line, and that thLS Council. is not
being unreasonable in aska.ng him to appear. Councilman IIarris saic
tllat he had much the same feeling on this as Councllmzn Sheradan,
however, the motion beL-ore the Council is to reiuse pzyment, and
maybe this should be changed so that payment would be made if he
appears. Mayor Kirkham pointed out that as a result oP L-he inoL-ion,
he received the telephone call Erom Mr. Piku1.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to amend the motion on the table L-o
"' include the stipulation that payment wi11 b e made if b7r. Pi7cu1
appears before the Council. Seconded by Councilman Samue].son.
Councilman Harris said Lhai:. in this way, iL- he does not appear,
he would forfeit his right to payment. Councilman sheridan saxd
that he felt that this amendment is the reverse of the intent o1
the original motion. Mayor T:irkham said he did noL- thin7; �o, only
�� r
ti, ,

that lhe L'ouncil will no� pay untiZ he appears. Councilman IiaYris
as7tecl i� P� , Pi7cul were to apgear before L-he Couneil, would be
]>e 1u1Ei].ling the contract. The City Attorney said yes, unless
the Council would want L-o contend that as the report was late, it
did not serve tl�e purpose intended, but he did not ieel that this
would Ue a cL-rong pasition. Mayor Kir7lzam said that the aryue-
ment was whel=her he detaulted on his concract, but it 5urely was
not an �ron-clad contract. Councilman Sheridan said that the
Council has never received any correspondence as to whether they
oaould ur would not meet the estimated date of completion of the
study, nor did they ever as]: to extend the deadline.

the recommendations oi the Police Cha.eP and the City Engineer.

be a hardshzp on the residents. Councilman Liebl said thd.t this
woutd not solve the residents problems and as]ted what could be
done. The City Engineer said that there was some open lahd avail-
aUle on the west side of the apartment building. He said that
he thougYit that the apartmeiit house had been sold, but that the
land had been retained. Councilman Samuelson asked if this apart-
ment house is in compliance with the ordinances. The City En-
gineer said that it was. Councilman Harris said that he went down

SUBCOMMiTTEE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 25, 1968:
1. CONSTDERATION OF A REOUEST TO CONSTRUCT AN ADDITION TO
EXISTING BUILDING FOR ELECTRO-COTE COMPANY, LQCATED AT
5220 MAIN STREET N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA (REQU�uT BY
CARLSON-LaVINE INC. 2831 ALDRICH AVENUE SOUTFI MINNEAPOLIS
MINNESOTA)`
The City Engineer gave a run-down of the stipulations recomm�nded
by the Building 5tandards - Design Control Subocmmittee. IIe said
that it has been Council policy to up-grade the structures when
� `� �,
.� �
P.ECUi�1'xIt CUUNCIL MEE'1'ING OP OCTOSER 7, 19G8 PAGE 7
addition� were made, this would mean that blacktopped parking '
spaces and curbing should be provided -and I:he �ront landscaped
w.�th sod raL-her than crushed rock.
MO'PION by Councilman Liebl to concur with the recoznmendations of
the IIui7_ding �tandards - Design Control Subcommittee. Seconded
hy Councilman Samuelson ior discussion.
Councilman Samuelson asked haw much blacictopping would be involved.
Th� City Engineer said thaL- there would be a considerable amount
as the b].acktop is in bad sk�ape. Councilman Sheridan asked if the
applicant had been advised ot this. The City �ngineer said that
L-he Council sets these standards.
Mr. Erick LaVine, representing Electro-Cote, said that the plans as
suUmitted showed blacktopping in front and grading and crushed rock
on tYie sides. He said that they would need a totai of 50 parking
spaces at the most and blac]�topping this whole area would be an
extra burden on the company at this time. He asked that the City
Engineer show tlze plans with the white cruched rock rather than the
grey rock, which the City Engineer did. Mr. LaVine said that he j
felt that this makes a respectable looking building and would be �
an improvement to it. He said that they made their last addition
to the buildzng about 3 years ago and at that time they were in-
iormed that they could have crushed rock in front of the building.
Councilman samuelson said that he could appreciate his position,
however, the Council must maintain a degree of consistancy. The
City Engineer suggested that Electro-Cote could be given a year
L-or campliance, to give them time to make tunds avai2able. Council-
❑ian Samuelson suggested posting a bond so the City would have the
assurance th�t this would be done. Councilman Haxris asked about
how much the blacktopping and curbing would cost them, The City
Lngineer estimated about $3,000,
Mr. LaVine said that he Eelt that it wo uld be unreasonable to
b1acY.top an axea for about 109 cars when they have le5s than 50
employees. He asked that the Council consider the plot plan as
submitted. Councilman Liebl said that he thought the City Engineer's
suygestion as a compro�ise was a good one. Councilman Harris
aslced if the company has sufficient parking spaces available now.
Mr. LaVine said no. Councilman Liebl asked if they planned to add
any addiL-ions in the future. Mr. LaVine said yes, as there is more
land available. Councilman Liebl said that he did not want to see _
any business lost, and because of future expansion plans, perhaps
in this case, the policy oi the Council should be waived. Mayor
� �, a
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OI' OCTOBER 7, 1968 PAGE II
Kirkham said that he was in favor of sticking to the requirements
as is done with othex businesses, and that he would agree with
their posting a bond. Councilman Sheridan said that with the
parking in front, and area for parking in back of the building
for a total of 50 cars which could be located where it would not
interfere with future plans, he did not £eel the Council �hould
require parking spaces £or 109 cars, since 50 is all they need at
this time. He said that he did not want to discourage growth.
THE VOTE UPON THE MOTION was a voice vote, Kirkham, Harris, Sheridan,
Liebl voting aye, Samuelson voting nay, Mayor Fcirkham declared
the motion carried.
Councilman Sheridan asked a.f there could be parking on the sides,
as there would be no expansion in that direction. The City En-
gineer said that there was only 32' on the side, which was not
sufficient for parking.
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan, to ask Electro-Cote to provide
additional parking spaces to make a total of 50 blacktopped
parking spaces available to be placed to their best advantaye,
taking into consideration their future expansion plans. Seconded
by Councilman Harris. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Kirkham declared the motion carried.

MINNESOTA. {REQLTEST BY MR. FILISTER, NLZNNEAPOLIS, MINN.):
The City Engineer said that the Building Standards - Design Control
Subcommittee had recommended approval oL the plot plans su]a�ect to
some atipulations which he outlined. Mr. Filister said that he had
just received these plans at about 5:00 this eveniny himselt. He
said that his request is for 3 more.buildings, 2 qarages,
and a recreation center. He said that his buildings are slightly
different than those already built. They are oP a different ele-
vation, but the decqr is basically the same. He said that his
recreation center is a 17,000 square foot building, which a.s wood
on three sides and brick on one side. Fie said that there would be
a pax�ty room, game room, swimming pool, exercise room, sauna baths
for both men and women, 3 guest apartmenL-s, and one resident mana-
ger's apartment. He said that possibly in the iuture he miyht
possibly in the future he might want to add a barber shop, beauty
shop, a small grocery store etc.
Councilman Liebl asked i£ the traffic pattern is all right now.
Mr. Filister said that the people have to wallc a long way to the
garages, but that cannot be helped. Councilman Sheridan as7ced it

said l:hat�it was aacant. There followed a discussion at the

devised, such as moving the garage back furthery or making a tuck-
unde� garage. It was suygested by Councilman Liebl that this 1ot

calls L-rom people interested in what was going ta be done about
this. H� said that he talked to Mr. Ed Chies, who told him that
Mr. Carlson has had a request for a large amount of fill from
Target, and possibly he could take some from the Chies pit to
lower it to qrade. He said that he would check with his brother
and let him know tomorrow. The City Attorney said that originally
he liad raquested that this be put on the Agenda to obtain authori-
zation Lrom the Council to start action against the bonding company.
Councilman Liebl asked it the $9,000 bond was sufficient. The
City Attarney said that he could not say whether that would cover
all the work involved.
f�7r. Theilmann, I.540 Rice Cree7c Road, said that L-hey are still
haulzng steady in this area.
Councilm�n H�rris said that it seems that we continue tro go
around and around and that every time he submits a request, it is
granted and he promises to take care of it, but he has not satis-
fied tliis Council and the people in the area, and that he couZd
see no rezson to £urther this program.
MOTION by Counca.lman Harris to instruct the City Attorney to start
action against the bonding company to get this property up to
grade, and to post or barricade to prevent further hauling.
Seconded by Couneilman Liebl.
The City Manager suggested �etting a court in�unction, The City
Attorney said posSi.bly this could be done but that he would prefer
sending L-he Police Department up there advising them that their
permit has expired. IE l-.hey continue to haul without acknowledging
this order, L-hen a court i_n,7unction could be obtained.
�ihe CiL-y Engineer said that on September 6, 1968 he sent a
memorandum to the City Attorney advising him that Mr. Chies was
noL- close to completin� any £inal grades. He said that something
shou].d be done as it is a hazard and could be dangerous to children.
Councilman Harris as7ced ii zt was not below grade naw.
Mr. 'Pheilmann asked what would happen i£ the $9,000 is not enough
to cover the work. The City Attorney said that work would be done
to the extent of $9,000 and that any excess would not be assessable.
Councilman Samuelson said that some discretion would have to be
used in leveliny oif this area so that in five years or so if there
were homes built there, there would not be problems due to impropar
compacL-ion.

The City Attorney said thaL- Mr. Chies is not the fee own�r, that
a Mr. Paulson is, and tlzat he had tallced to h un and Mr. Paulson
had indicated to him that ii Mr. Chies does not comply, that he
would cancel his contract.
Mayor Kizkham asked when the $9,000 bond was set. The City En-
gineer said that this has been the policy for some t une. The
$9,000 would make the property look decenL- and it would not be an
eye-sore. This permit was issued on September 20, 1965. Council-
man Lieb1 said that Mr. Chies has had plenty oi time to yet this
area cleaned up.
Mrs. Theilmann said that she would like to make the Council aware
ot another situation which they may not be aware of. She saad
that there were very deep holes dug by Parl: Construction on the
Cochran property. She said that this was leveled off once, and
Mr. Carlson told them that they were done and there would be no
more gravel hau].ed from there. The City Attorney told Mrs. Thei1-
mann that the Cochran pit a,s under a yrandfather clause, and L-he
legal problems there are quite diiferent. �Phe Council and Admin-
istration indieated that they c3id not ]cno,� that there was more
digging going on up there. Councilman Sheridan asked i� up to
this time, Park Construction has been adheriny to their plan.
The City Engineer said that i:hey have a permit and bond and have
not been in violation that he knew of. Mayor I:ir7:ham advised
Mrs. Theilmann that the C1.ty Engineer would chec7c into tliis.

grade, and to post or barricade to prevenl: iurther hauling, was
a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kir]:Y1am declared the motion

DISCUSSION REGARDING CdUNTY PARTICIPATION IN TRANSPORTION OP CRIMINAL
OFFENDERS:
Counc�.lman Harris said that he had consulced with the Police
Department on the transporting oP criminal oifenders to and from
the Anoka County jail to ouz County Court. At present i-his ls
done by the Fridley Police pepartment, however, since this is naa
a County Court system, the responsibilrty should be the County's.
This would free our policemen and cars far wor]t within the City.
He said that he could see no reason why the City should contznue
this service, since the court is handled uy the County. Council-
man Harris suggested drawing up a resolutlon to this eifect, as
the County would prefer to act on a resolution. Mayor Fcir]cham
suggested also asking for the recommendations oL- the Police

pepartment before drawing up a resolution. Councilman Sheridan
said that this would also l�e true for Blaine, Coluxnbia Heights,
and SprinJ La]ce Park. He suygested_that this could be made
efFective as of ihe lst o.0 January, 1969. Councilman Harris
acJreed, a� this would allow x"or inclusion ini:o their budget. �
The Chiet of Police said that transportation of prisioners is
already the respons�ility of the Sherrit-'s Office of Anoka
County by state Statutes. He suggested the use of a panel wagon
which could also serve Blain, Columbia lieights, and Spring Lake
Par]c. FIe said as long as the municipalities continue this service
the County will not be Eorced ta undertake their share o£ the res-
ponsibility. Iie said as long as the CiL-y continues to do this, a
car and two men are not in servzce. He explained that this brings
about a duplication of work, as an example, this morning the City
went up to I�no3ca County to geL a prisioner for Court here, and at
the same time, �.noka County sent down a car with a prisioner for the
I'ridley Court, so there were actually,two cars doing what could
have been done by the one county wagon.
MoTION by Councilman Harris to concur with the Chief of Police
in his recommendation and direct that a resolution be drawn up
relerring to the State Statute designating the responsihility of
the SherriE's Office of Anoka County in transportation of prisioners,
to be presented at the next regular meeting. Seconded by Council-
man Samuelson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham
debl.ared the mo�ion carried unanimously.

PLZ�CE AND 57 z AVENUE-
The City �n�ineer said i:hat this street has ne�er been maintained
and as in very bad shape. There is only '-z dedicated right o� way
and Yie Pe]t that it should be closed and barricaded, but not vaca-
ted because oL- drainage problems in this area. Iie said that it
was not needed now since both Third Street and Main Street provide
consiection.
Councilman L.ieb1 said that he appreciates the City Engineers' and
the 1lcting Director ot Public Works' etior�s, and that he agrees
that tha traffic should be stopped.

thing the City needs as it is in the era of greatest industrial
grawth. He said that the Council has heen supplied with copies

Prom the present code, Planning Commission recommendations, and
portions of other progressive communa.ties' codes such as Ldina and
Bloomington. He said that in compilinJ the ordinance, he, and
his staff have tried to keep each zoning ca�agory separaL-e, Lhis
way when a person asl:s about a speciiic zoning district, he can
be given only what is pertinent. He sa�d that there is �also
sketches ,included so it would be easily understood. Ii�= said L-haL
it is also being supplzed to the Planning Commission ior L-lie�r
recommendations and has taken a lot oi cime and energy. Fiope-
iully, the Council may be a7�le to publish _t around L-he l.s� oi L-he

Councilman Liebl asked ii it was not correct that with the storm
sewer the cost would be over $9,00 per assessable foot and without
the storm sewer it would be over $F3.00 per assessable �aot. Thc:
City Engineer replied that the Council gave the people the choice
oP whether or not they wanted to put in the sL-orm sewer. 'nc� people
elected to have the bare minimum of wor3c done. This would involve
some catch basins. He said that narmally catch basins are placed
about G00' apart, in this case they are over 1200' apart. This is
not {:he best solution, but should not give L-he people Loo much
