Pikul the balance of payment due him of $1300 plus the $461.45 out of pocket expenses. Councilman Liebl said tiha'c he had prepared a short statement and six questions he woula like to ask Mr. Pikul and be included in the Minutes: � � L J � REGULP.R COUNCIL MEETING OF NQVEMBER 4, 196� PAGE 2 "You have made statements to the press that this `Study' has become a political football. If there is any complainc on your part as to the political implications of this issue, you have only yourself to blame. You issued a press release to the Minneapolis Star in October o� i967 stating certain conclusions, contained in your report and later qiven L-o this Councal, which were totally unsubstantiated at the cime and is even less a fact now. If this has become a political issue - your conduct has made it so. #1. Since the figures used in your report, relating to comparisons between Fridley and other Mursicipal liquor stores, were taken £rom the Municipalities P4agazine of July 1967 - and the appraisal of Liquor Properties was dated September 27, 1967 - will you please explain why �his re- port was delayed until January 2, 1968." Mr. Pikul replied that at the time his company took on the assign- ment, they had no idea how long it would ta]tie, although he said � that he had had experience in related Facets, he had never done this type of job specifically. He said the engagement lecter was dated July 24, 1967, and was accepted in August. He said that it was the policy of his company no� �o start a,7ob until the retainer fee is received. He said that the scope o£ study aovered a great number o£ areas such as seleci.ion oi possible sites for restaurants and motels etc. He stated he would inspect the Municipal operations, economic growth of the City here in or- der to make some evaluation on whether �his City could attract restaurants and motels etc. The time taken �or investigation took longer and longer, and he had told Mayor Kirkham on the cele- phone of this delay and was not aware oi what was happening here. He said that he had studied a great many more facets than are actually covered in the report in order co get a clear picture. He said that he had compared these rates wrth standard rates by IBM which would be about $5000. � "#2• The figures Prom Edina and Rich�ield �or the 3rd quarter oE 1967 as well as £or the year 1967 prove your con- clusions in regard to 'Competition Erom Surrounding Com- munities g�ing private' are wrong. Since your reporL- was dated January 2, 1968, were you noL- negligent in your failure to check with these communities before giving us your con- clusions?" Mr, Pikul replied that the report took 8 i.o 10 days to type. In the course of his investigation he did L-ry to get the Eigures =or the 3rd quarter but they were not available cor his use_ REGi7LAR COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 1968 (Councilman`Liebl's questions continued) PAGE 3 "#3. How do you �usiiiy using the proceeds from the sale oE City properties and Sa1es Tax Rebates (which we now receive and will continue to receive) as replacement income?" Mr. Pikul said that he �elt that the phrase "replacement income" was unfortunate and thaL- the meaning he was trying to show would be "replacement maney". If there was no other avenue to take and if everything pointed to private enterprise, the City would ne�d a11 the revenue it could get. He said he felt that these invest- meni-s ance canverted into cash would be available to be used under these ca.rcumstances. fIe said that the sales tax revenues may have been on the opiimistic side. He said that he had had ex- perience in Maryland and the District oi Columbia and it did show a lag between the sales tax rebates and subsequent reduction of personal property ta�: revenues and he felt this laq was of such substance that the City would benef�.t imrnediately from the sales tax revenue. He said chat he took the figures from the State Auditor as a starting point. He said that in retrospect, a.t seems, people are wiser. ";t4. on page 45 you sr.ate ' a single 100 unit hotel would provide openings ior 65 to 75 persons, and a payroll o£ $275,000 to $300,q00. A single fine restaurant would pro- vide about ha1P this payroll and number of jobs'. If my calculataons are correct - this figures aut to about $100 per month for 75 employees. Can you explain this?" Mr. Pi]cul said that on Page 61 he shows an estimated house profit ror several differeni: operations. He advised Councilman Liebl that he was �orgetting that on Page 61, this excludes the payroll �nd only ecrvers rooms, light, heat, etc. This is for a free standing type of restauranc as opposed to a bar-restaurant type. ",fi5. On Page 23, you Lell us that 'in the past four years alone' sevenL-een communities have discontinued Municipal liquor. Exhabit A P-52 shows 322 municipalities in 1962 and 329 in 1966. Will you please explain why you thought it important to tell us about those municipalities quitting the busa.ness - but not those who went into it. Particularly in view oi the fact that most o� the 17 communities you list have populations under 500?" Mr. Pikul said that he had tried to establish a trend and it seemed that municipalities were departing fram municipal operation. He said that his source of iniormation came, he thought, from the � � � � . p REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 1968 PAGE 4 � League of Municipalities. He said that iL- was his understanding at L-he time, although there is a da.screpancy, that this was a net change apparently where there was an o£fsettinc� figure. He said that apparently this is not the case and he said that he regretted it. He said it seemed that the trend was £or munici- palities departing from this type of operation. "�6. On promotional discounts, wha� percentage of che �oLal net profit should this be? For instance, in 1967 our Mun- icipal operation netted $180,000, and I would like to know, on a private and municipal basis, what percentage would be a good percentage of total net profit." Mr. Piku1 said that he did not understand what Councilman Liebl meant by promotional discount, and that he did not knaw. He saa.d that the City's operation is so conipletely diEferent from przvate operations as there is an entirely diLEerent ratio between food and beverage. He said that off sale seemed to be better operated by municipal operations and on s�le better operated by � private parties. Councilman Lieb1 pointed out that in 1967 the City was making 224/ £or a total of $40,652.00 promotional discount from the $180,000, and this is net profit. Mr. Pikul said that he had talked to the Mayor of Ra.ch£ield and it seemed to him that one oi the problems Fridley has a.s in- adequate storage and that perhaps more could be made by the City with more storage room and a larger inventory. He said �hac he did not go deeply into the operation of our municipal liquor stores. Councilman Liebl said thank you to Mr. Pikul ior coming to ihe Meeting, and that he boxe no personal animosity toward him, but that he ,7ust wanted some answers. Councilman Harris asked what the out ot- �acket expenses enL-ailed, Mr. Pikul said that it was for the extra copies, extra typzng, and collating of the report. Councilman Sheridan said that he was the dissenting member of � the Council in going into tha.s contracc and has perhaps been harsh in demanding that the consultant appear before lhe Council. He said that he Felt very strongly that any consultant should be available to present his case and answer questions. He said that it was his understanding that the first communication between this City and your firm was in the £irs� parc. oi January, � ` _ _ �' REGULi1R COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 1968 PAGE 5 however, Mr. Pikul had stated that he had talked to Mayor Kirkham several ta.mes. He asked ii it was not the practice of the firm co correspond in leL-�er iorm with the other party involved. Mr. Pi]cul said that he had talY.ed with Mayor Kirkham several times, buc he did noL- know what was happening here. As far as meeting with L-h� Council, he said Lhat he did meet with the Mayor's Evaluation Committee and assumed that they would forward the in- formatian on to the Council. Councilman Liebl asked if the Comm- iitee had asked him to be present. Mr. Pikul said yes and that usually payment is made aL- �he time o= submission of a report. He said that there was no bitterness nor hard feelings. Council- man Liebl asked Mr. PiY,ul if he had met with any member of the Council. Mr. Pilcul said that he had met. with Mayor Kirkham at the cime the original contract was made. Mayor Kirkham commented that this was done wi-th cl�e authorization of the Council. Mr. Pikul appologized for che delay with the comment that he did noc want to present less chan the best report he cauld, but that he did concact Mayor Kirkham telling him it would be late. Councalman Sheridan said customarily the consultant appears in person. He said that there were some glaring errors in the reporc which he =elt should be talked about in person. Because oi this, he said that he lost iaith in the value o£ the report. Mr. Pi7�.u1 said that he was asY.ed about tne errors in the Mayor's �valuaL-ion Committee Meeting, and that ttiey were mathematical errors, which had been checked, but still slipped by. He said that he was sorry that this happened, but they do happen and should not cast a shadow on the total report. MOTION by Councilman Shera.dan to ask the Administration to bring tarL-h the balance due Horwath and Horwa�h. Seconded by Council- man fiarris. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously.

The City Engineer said no. Councilman Sheridan commented then this Resolution would give the authority ta the City Engineer and the Chief of Police to place new stap signs, as necessary. MOTION by Councilman Harris to adopt Resolution t$169-1968. Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Richard Harris asked about the Coun�y Road and Bridge Corunittee Meeting, concerning East River Road. `I`he City Engineer said that they have no set nights for meeting, �ust on call. The City has sent the Resolution to the County and the Commissioners and given them the list o£ requests. There had been no meeting set up as yet. All the City can do is request, az�d we have indicated to them that it was urgent. 1 Councilman Sheridan said that he had heard some comments about the Holiday area and felt that there should be some stop signs there. Coming out of Holiday, he has seen people pull onto the street without stopping. Councilman Harris pointed out that that should be Holiday's responsiba.lity, and that this should be called to their attention. The Ca.ty Engineer added that there was one stop sign on the list which coulc] come down on Mercury Drive, as it was no longer needed. RESOLUTION #170-1968 - A RESOLUTION TO 1�DVERTISE FOR BIDS: PAR3i GAR7IGE (METAL BUILDING) INSULATION: MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to adopt Resolution '�170-1968. Seconded by Councilman Harris.

APPROVAL OF REGISTERED LAND SURVEY, COVENANT AND AGREEMr'.L�7T WITH GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY (R.L.S, #68-04): The City Engineer said that the City Manager, City Attorney, Finance Director and a member from the Great Northern Railway, � and himself had had two meetings. He said thaL- he would suggest the Council authorizing the City Managex and Mayor Kirkham submitting the agreement and covenant to Great Northern Railway, i£ the Council approves in essence, for approval by the Railway Company. 4 �N r 4 , REGULAR COTJNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 1968 PAGE 7 Councilman Liebi asked about the test wells. The City Engineer � said that the blanket agreement covers giving the City permission to drill for wells. Councilman Lieb1 asked i£ all the points brought up before had been taken care oE, and are they satis- factory. The Finance Director said they were considered and there were some changes made. There is to be a credit return or money held in escrow a.f future develog�nents are made using some of the Great Northern Railway utilities. He said that this is cavered in Section 3 Paragraph G. He said that it is better now than it was written be£ore, but not still really to his liking. Councilman Liebl said that it was brought up before, about what was to be done, if there are future developments on the west side oi East River Raad. He said that he felt that this would impede future developments. Mr. Gibbs, representing the City Attorney, said that the City Attorney had recommended approval o£ the covenant and agreement. Councilman Liebl asked if this adequately covers protection for the City and also £or the Great Northern Industrial Park. Mr. Roberi. Brokopp said chac he felt that it covers everything. Mr. � Glenn Shaw said that the City Attorney felt that if in the event of future developments, the money could be held in escrow, but this would benefit the land laeing developed, rather than Great Northern Railway. Councilman Sheridan said that inasmuch as there are not dedicated streets, whaL is to be done about egress and ingress. Mr. Shaw said that there will be no building without egress and ingress onto City dedicated streets. This will take place in an orderly manner. The covenants spells this out well. Councilman Sheridan said that the City will not go onto private property to put in water, sewer, or streets until at is dedicated right of way. He felt that it would be simpler to plat the land. Mr. Shaw said yes, but then they would lose the £lexa.bility. Wa.th this Regi- stered Land Suraey, the land can be divided into any size a buyer may desire, and it would not require coming back to the Crty requesting vacations of streets, or any other proceedings. Councilman Sheridan asked if they are proposing to put in all the sanrtary sewer, water and storm sewer and streets at the same time. Mr. Shaw said no, anly as needed. Councilman Sheri- dan said that they could sell a parcel oi land of 40 acres or one for 3 acres, and that he did not see that this means anything. � Mr. Shaw explained that this would a11ow their company to quote exact prices to prospective buyers on specific pieces of land, and would eliminate coming back to the City for other requests for approval of plats. They could then tell any buyer exactly what � � � REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 1968 PAGB 8 they may or may not do. Mr. Brokopp pointed out that vacations af streets takes a great deal o£ time. Councilman Sheridan said he could not see any problems with platting, and when additions were required, they would be Addition rtl, Addition #2, Addition ,�3 as is done with other platting, Mr. Brokopp said that they pre£erred the Registered Land Survey. Councilman Sheradan said that he did not agree with this procedure, as it dad not give the City the knavledge it should have. Mr. Brokopp pointed out that their company could have sold a porL-ion of their land with- out any Registered Land Survey, but that this is the way Great Northern Railway Company wanted to do it. He said that this �s an attempt to get everything done once, to prevent coming back again and again to the Council with requests as things develop in the future. Councilman Harris pointed out that a meets and bounds description would be difficult, but the description under the Registered Land Survey would be much easier. Mr. Robert Bartholick, of Great Northern Railway Campany said that the City Attorney had said that the property could not be described by a meets and bounds description. Mr. Gibbs said that he £elt that the City had protection either way, MoTION by Councilman Harris for approval of the covenant and agreement with the Great NQrthern Railway Company. Seconded by Counca.lman Samuelson £or discussion. Councilman Samuelson question page 4 of the covenant concerning signs, and said that he assumed that the signs would be non- flashing nor r�tating. Mr. Shaw said that he did not attempt to regulate this as the City ordinance wauld enforce ihis. He then explained the meaning of the paragraph. He said that he would prefer to leave the covenant as writLen, as ik has been approved by their Company. Councilman Harris asked about Section �, subsection b regarding opague hedges, and wondered how 75% opac�ueness could be determined, as this would require a �udgment determination, and thought it should be 100/. He alsa referred to Section D regardang loading docks and maneuvering areas, and felt that that should read 100/ opague year around. Mr. Shaw said that this would be primaraly an industrial area rather than a commerc�al development and he felt that 100/ opaqueness would be excessive. He said that he intended to make this a good heavy industrial area, Councilman Harris said that unless ttte covenant were to read 100°0, it might as well be le£t out as 50% did not mean anything, and there would be the judgment factor. He said that loadzng and unloading could possibly mean outside storage and wondered how to evaluate lony term or short term storage. He said that ii what was meant was i ��� � � � ' � td ✓ l�� REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 1968 PAGE 9 only loading and unloading with no outside storage the 50/ opaque would be a11 right, he felt, for safety, but if there was any storage involved outside, then it should be 100%. Councilman Harria then referred to page 8, Section G, subdivision b, regarding smoke density. He quoted that the emission of smoke shall not be of a density greater than No, 2 on the Ringelmann Chart. Councilman Samuelson asked what i£ in the future another new and better standard is used. He said that he felt that there should be added "No. 2 on the Ringelmann Chart or it's equiva- lent." Councilman Samuelson brought up Section 2, building sites, and asked if there was no provision for mowang or maintenance o£ long narrow straps of right of way land. N1r. Shaw said that this is covered in the agreement, where it says that the Railway Company shall maintain 40' strips ad�acent to building sites. He said that this is in Section 2, Paragraph A of the agreement. THE MOTION by Councilman Harris, wath the agreement of the seconder, is to be amended as follows: Section D of the covenant should be changed trom "---not less than sax feet in height and not less than 50/ opague." to: "---not less than six feet in height and not less than 100% opaque year around." Section E, subdi�ision b of the covenant should be changed from: "---eight feet in height and not less than 75% opague" to: "---eight feet in height and not less than 100% opaque." Section G, subdivision b o'r the cavenant should be changed £rom "---emission of smoke shail not be of a density greater than No. 2 on the Ringelmann Chart" to: "---emi�sion of smoke shall not be oi a density greater chan No. 2 on the Ringelrnann Chart or it's equivalent". Upon a vaice voL-e, all votiny aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously.

Councilman Harris asked what was to be � � � r--� L__J � '� ; � REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 19G3 PAGL 10 done with the vacant land north o� the shopping center, and he Felt that it should either be sodded ar blacktopped Eor additional parking space. The City Manager said L-hat he has not receivec� an agreement with the owner as to what will be done with this land as yet. Councilman Liebl said that thi� has been a bad situacion for the last two years. He said that he thoughL- that it has changed hands now. He agreed with Councilman Harris that the land should either be sodded or blacktopped, to comply with our Ordinances. He said that the signs should also be removed. The City Maz�ager said that letters are being written now giving the owner 15 days notification to take then down, or the City will do so, as they are on the highway right oi way. Council- man Liebl commented that other shopping centers have been required to live up to our Ordinances and this one should too.
