VISITORS: Councilman Liebl pointed out that Mr. McLain was in the audience and asked him °i� � `� � / � REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1969 PAGE 2 if he was present to see what was the status of the alley vacation. Mr. McLain , indicated he was. The City Manager told him that notices have been sent to the apartment house owners, along with an agreement for their signature that the off-street parking in front is to be accomplished by July l, 1969, or as an alternative, a binding contract with a contraator that the work would be done by August l, 1969. He said that there has been some consideration given to putting in a frontage road in front of the apartment houses. He reported that he still has not heard from one apartment house owner of a couple of apartment houses, and he plans on sending out a letter to them and if there is no answer by April l, 1969, the City would assume that he did not wish to enter into any agreement. He suggested that Mr. McLain come into his office so he could more fully explain on a map 7ust what has been accomplished so far. I�lr. McLain said that he would like this alley blocked off. He said that there had been traffic through there all winter and he feels that the Council should take some action on this now. Councilman Liebl told Mr. McLain that the action was started some six months ago. The City Manager further explained that there has to be 100% participation in the proposed off-street parking in front of the apartment houses, as the City cannot force anyone to violate our Ordinances. In the event no agreement can be reached with all the apartment house owners, the only other alternative the City would have would be to put in the alley along with the improvements. ORDINANCE #411 - AN ORDINANCE UNDER SECTION 12.07 OF THE CITY CHARTER TO VACATE � STREETS AND ALLEYS AND TO ANIEND APPENDIX C OF THE CITY CODE: (POrtion of Highway #65 West Service Road South of 73rd Avenue for Loopback - City of Fridley) MOTION by Councilman Samuelson to adopt Ordinance #411 on second reading, waive reading, and order publication. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a roll call vote, Samuelson, Sheridan, Kirkham and Liebl voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried. DISCUSSION REGARDING STATE BOTTLE CLUB PERMIT - CASINO ROYALE� Councilman Liebl asked if Casino Royale was willing to comply with the require- ments of the Health Sanitarian in the event the permit was approved. Mr. Harvey McPhee, the Health Sanitarian said that Mr. Rostberg would comply, but that he did not want to start any improvements until he knew if his request would be granted. Councilman Sheridan brought up the question of whether this was legal or not, and that even though it appears that it is not unlawful, he felt that before issuance of the permit, the times and clays should be spelled out explicitly, and the license be granted with those stipulations. Mr. Rostberg said that he had a list of times and days of the week, with all the stipulations spelled out. He then presented it to the Council. Councilman Samuelson said that he felt that it would not be a good policy to , mix the two operations. Mayor Kirkham said that he agreed, that he did not feel that a teen age club and an adult club with beer should be mixed. Councilman Liebl, while referring to Mr. Rostberg's communicatzon, said that it appeared that Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursclay would be adult nights with beer and set-ups, and Friday, Saturday and Sunday would be teen age nights. He asked �`P' REGULAR COUNCIL MCETING OF MARCH 3, 1969 PAGE 3 � what assurance he could give the Council that this would be the case. Mr. Rostberg replied that Monday they are closed, that there would be beer and set- ups on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and that it would be bottle beer rather than draft beer so that it coul.d be kept under lock and key on teen nights. Councilman Liebl said that he assumed that this request is to make his operation more feasible financially. Mr. Rostberg said that he cannot make any money with just the three nights being open, and this is the reason for his request He asked if he has not run a clean club. The City Manager replied that the Chief of Police has approve his application. MOTION by Councilman Liebl to grant a 3.2 beer license with set-ups to Mr. Carl Rostberg, Casino Royale with the stipulations that he adheres to the recom- mendations of the Health 5anitarian, and that the license for 3.2 ]�eer and set-ups be for the following specified times: Sunday from 12:01 P.M. to normal closing hours, and Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of each week to be from 4:00 P,M. to closing hours. 5econded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a roll call vote, Sheridan and Liebl voting aye, Kirkham and Samuelson voting nay, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion FAILED. Mr. Rostberg said that he felt that he ran a good clean teen club and that he felt that the Council should have enough confidence in him to know that he would continue to do so. He said that now he would erther discontinue his operation, or consider going exclusively to an adult club. Mayor Kirkham said that if he wishes to make another application the Council would Ue happy to consider it. � REZONING HYDE PARK FOR THE PURPOSE OF BROADENING THE TAX BASE IN SCHOOL DISTRICT #14. (On Agenda at the Request of Carl Paulson) Mr. Carl Paulson said that the matter of rezoning the area west of University Avenue has been up for consideration, and he knew that there were studies being made of it, and he wondered at what point the study was. Mayor Kirkham told him that the study is nearly completed and �ust about ready for presentation. Mr. Paulson said that this is a mixed up area and he had a proposal he wished to present before the Council to evolve a larger tax base. He said that school taxes have been rising steadily, although the Crty taxes have remained fairly steady. He said that he felt that 60th Avenue and 61st Avenue could be left as a buffer zone, and below this, this whole area would lend itself well to higYi rise apaxtment complexes. Ae said that a better type of high zise apartments would bring in good tenants. This would bring a high tax return. FIe suggested tha� with basement parking the land could be conserved. He pointed out that this area is close to shopping areas and businesses and that it could become an urban community. He poa.nted out that this type of building would have it's own sprinkling system and would not increase greatly the work of the Fire Depart- ment. He suggested that as the studies have not been completed as yet, that this be considered. FIRST READING OE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 74.03 OF TFIE CITY CODL^': (Bicycle Plates and Registration Cards) � The Assistant City Attorney said that this Ordinance was drawn up at the request of the Chief of Police, who wished to have reflectorized license tags and registration cards with numbers a.n numerical order. The City Manager asked who keeps the records on this now. The Finance Director said the Police Department handles this operation now. The City Manager sug- � II�� � REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1969 PAGE 4 gested that the Ordinance be changed from the Manager keeping the records to the � Police Department. The Assistant City Attorney said that this would be done for the second reading. Councilman Lielal asked how much the license was. The Finance Director said it was $1.00 for 4 years and 50C for a transfer. Council- man Sheridan asked if you have to bring the bicycles down. The Assistant City Attorney said that they do not now, but the Police Department would prefer to have them brought down as they record the serial numbers. He said that the Police Department would prefer to put on the tags themselves. MOTION by Councilman Samuelson to approve thxs Ordinance on first reading and waive the reading, and have the Ordinance corrected to read "Police Department" rather than "Manager" for the second reading.

RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING OF FEBRUARY 24, 1969: Councilman Liebl said that there was some action necessary by the Council and referred to the MotYOn by Stimmler that the Parks and Recreation Commission request the City Council to approve the moving of a building to some park pro- perty. He said that it would take $700 to move the building, and that the Parks and Recreation Commission wish to place it at the Commons Hockey complex. He said that he felt that the present facilities there are inadequate and he would like to see them put in a nice facility, and maybe be able to serve coffee etc. Councilman Sheridan said that he had received a call on this from the Parks and Recreation Director and that he had no ob�ection to moving the building, but would like to comment on where they wish to move rt. He felt that until all the rinks have warming houses, he did not feel that there should be doubling up of facilities on the hockey rinks. He said that on the hockey rinks, there can be no 7oint adult and child participation. He questioned whether this building could be cut in two. Councilman Samuelson agreed with Councilman Sheridan in that some of the rinks do not have warming houses. He said that the improvement of the building, if approved, would be done by volunteer labor. If ' the building was cut in two, it could provide two houses. He pointed out that if located at Commons Hockey rink, it could be used by the children who play on the sliding hill also. Mayor Kirkham pointed out that the skating season is about over. Councilman Samuelson said that Sob Schroer is donating the building and it has to be removed now, or else it will be bulldozed over. He said that -. r1 I' �� �� � ��� REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1969 PAGE 5 � the Jaycees have said that if the City can take care of moving the building, they will improve it. Mr. Schroer was asked how big the building was. He replied 3D' X 50'. Councilman Samuelson pointed out that the Parks and Rec- reation Departrnent would then use it in the summer time for storage of mowers, He said that he was in favor of moving the building and that it would be of value to the City. He said Thank You to Bob Schroer for ha.s qenerous donation. Councilman Sheridan asked if this building could be split. sob Schroer said that it could. Councilman Sheridan said that then the question is where will it be placed. Councilman Samuelson said that the Commisszon would be doing this for the hockey program. He said that the Parks and Recreation Department will be given funds so they can build more permanent type warming houses. The question is whether to place this into one location for a good permanent improvement. Councilman Sheridan said that he had no objection to the expenditure of funds, and asked if there is money in the budget for this. The City Manager said that something would have to be deleted. Councilman SamLelson said that they are requesting approval, and it would be up to them to make up for the dis- crepancy in funds. The City Manager said that it could be approved sub7ect to their amending their budget to incorporate this. Councilman Liebl asked if it would be a good addita.on aesthetically. He pointed out that the hockey program is the second largest program the Parks and Recreation ➢epartment has. � MOTION by Councilman Liebl to approve the Parks and Recreatiom Commission request for the expenditure of $700 to move a building to Commons Hockey Rink, and the Parks and Recreation Department to submit to the Council the deduction they are making in their budget to allow for this expense.

In 1966 the Fire Department wrote a letter requesting that water be put in this area, for fire protection. He said that the water and sewer improve- ments were ordered in by the Council for the area and he would like to discuss the status of these improvements with the Council at the Meeting next Monday. He said that there has been no agreement with Spring Lake Park for partici- pation in the storm sewer, and that the cost should not be borne by the City , of Fridley alone, as it would benefit others also. He said basically the question is, should the City allow this area to build up, as it costs between $1500 and $20D0 to put in a cesspool and a well as this money would be lost when the City puts in water and sewer in the area, and he said that he hated to see these businesses spend this money uselessly. � ��l`� REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 3� 1969 PAGE 7 � RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 1969 The City Engineer reported that this meeting was rather lengthy, and that the minutes were not ready yet, but would be ready for receipt next Monday. CONSIDERATION OF A SIGN PERMIT FOR RIVERSIDE CAR WA5H AT 6520 EAST RIVER ROAD: The City Engineer said that this sign would be near the intersection of East River Road and Mississippi Way. There are three panels with a lighted arrow, but there are no flashing parts. He explained that under our present Ordinance it allows 120 square feet per building, and under the new Ordinance it would be 80 square feet per business. The minimum allowance from the ground is 10 feet and this sign is 11 feet from the ground. The total square footage of the sign is 147 square feet, but there are two businesses incorporated into the one sign. Councilman Sheridan asked with the removal of the Oil Company, how much reduction in size would it make. The City Engineer said that then the square footage would be 112 square feet. A Representative from River Side Car Wash said that they have tried to put together two signs for two businesses into one, and it would be sitting on one � set of poles. Councilman Samuelson commented that he would rather have one sign than two_ Councilman Liebl asked if the sign for the qas pumps would be further back. The Representative said yes. Councilman Liebl said that in the future one gas station will be coming out of this area, so this will actually be cleaning up this area. Councilman Samuelson agreed. Councilman Sheridan said that he did not go along with installing a sign for a car wash with a sign for a gas station. These are two separate businesses. Mayor Kirkham said that he felt that it would be better to have only one pole, rather than the two. Councilman Liebl agreed that it would be better to have one sign rather than two. He pointed out that they woul.d be spending $3000 on the promotion of their businesses in the sign alone. The Representative from River Side Car Wash said that the size of the panels can be varied somewhat, but that they wanted to keep it as large as possible. He added that the lower panel is a changeable panel. The City Engineer asked if 130 square £eet would be a suitable compromise. If so, that would be his suqgestion. The Representative said that this would be possible, and agreed to the reduction. MOTION by Councilman Liebl to grant the sign permit request for River Side Car Wash at 6520 East River Road with 130 square feet maximum size. Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. The City Engineer asked if it would make any di£ference to them i£ they moved , it a little to the north. Councilman Samuelson asked if they felt that this would damage their business in any way. The Representative said no, it could be moved north. He said, after doing some fa.guring that this would reduce the sign by about ;, and in doing their preliminary figuring they felt that the 147 Square foot sign would be best suited to their use, and would look nice. _'� �,� � REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1969 PAGE 8 Councilman Liebl felt that if they were willing to spend $3000 on a good sign, and incorporate the two signs into one, which is what the Council has been urging the businesses to do, that perhaps the 147 square foot sign should be allowed although it would require a variance from our Ordinance. COUNCII,MAN LIEBL WITHDREW HIS MOTION WITH AGREEMENT OF THE SECONDER. MOTION by Councilman Liebl to grant a variance to allow for a 147 square foot sign to be placed at 6520 East River Road at the request of River Side Car Wash Seconded by Councilman Sheridan.

He said that he has signed permission from one of the abutting property owners. Councilman Liebl asked i£ he would sti11 comply with all the requirements made last year. Mr. Les Chies said that nothing would be changed. Councilman Sheridan said that there had been some discussion before about a road on the east side of this property. Mr. Chies said that Arthur Street is on the west side of his property, and the Friend's home in on the other side. Councilman Sheridan asked if this would be 7ust a residential home, and would not be used for storage of heavy equipment. Mr. Chies said that this would be a residential home. Councilman Liebl pointed out that he would need a moving permit and also a building permit.

CONSIDERATION OE IMPROVEMENT OF 73RD AVENUE BETWEEN T.H. '�65 AND CENTRAL AVENUE: The City Engineer said, as the Council knows, we have asked the County repeatedly to take this portion of 73rd Avenue over as a County Road. He said that he has met with their committees and has sent in three or four letters. He said that as far as the County Engineer, or Harvey Peterson, County Commissioner are concerned, the County has no intention of improving this road. He said that Onans have been pressing to get this improvement. He pointed out that in the latter part of the Agenda is a resolution calling for bids and the question before the Council is, do they want to wait and hope for County participation, or include it in the resolution and get the work done by the City. He added that this is a County Road at one end and a City Road at the other end. Councilman Liebl asked what was the urgency. The City Engineer said that his Department has received a letter from Onans requesting the improvement. He � added that the Engineering Department will be ready to let bzds soon. Council- man Samuelson commented that if this �mprovement is made, it would make a direct thoroughfare all the way to T.H. #10. He wondered if the City were to make the improvement this year, if the County would participate in the cost next year. He added that he did not think that this improvement could be delayed. Mayor Kirkham also felt that this improvement should go in this year. Councilman Sheridan asked if the property on the south is a11 industrial. The City Engineer said yes, also on the north side. Councilman Sheridan said that he thought where a petition is not received, it required a 5/5 vote of the Council to authorize an improvement. He added that he did not think that the County will ever participate in this project in any w=y. Counc.tlman Liebl asked, if this is industrial property on both sides and the City got no County participation, would it not be completely assessable to the property owners. The Assistant City Attorney said yes. Councilman Liebl said that he felt that this must be done, as when people start coming out of Onans, this could create a real hazard. The City Engineer said that this would be a State Aid 9 ton street. He said that if the Council ordered it in, the base and mat work would probably be d��ne this year, and the finish mat and curbing be put on later when the area develops. He said that sewer and water is in 73'� Avenue, and there are sewer and water lines along 72nd Avenue. The storm sewer will have to be extended beyond 73rd Avenue. He added that once this road is opened up, then there will be the necessity of siqnals. He said that it seems the County Commissionexs have some misconceptions � in their minds that the Council has made some promises to some of the industries or something. It was agreed by the Council that this improvement must be done this yv�ar and will be added to the Resolution coming up later in the Agenda, under Street Improvement Pro7ect St. 1969-2. pt '1 �� REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OE MARCH 3, 1969 PAGE 10 CONSIDERATION OF CISY OFFER TO LIQUOR DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES FOR 1969 WAGE AND � BENEFIT AGREEMENT• The City Manager said that he had met with the union representatives several times. He said that they made several requests, one of them was a change in insurance coverage. He said that he suggested that since a committee will be formed for union negotiations, that their representative be included on the committee. He said that it was considered whether or not the City would go into a check off system for collecting union dues. He said that the letter also includes an increase in wages. On of the salient points brought up was the accrual of sick leav8. He then read Paragraph H from the letter which states that after 60 days of accrual sick leave a liquor employee would receive 1 days pay for every 2 days sick leave in the event Municipal liquor was discontinued. xe said that this differs from other City of Fridley employees in that after 90 days of accrual sick leave, the City of Fridley employees may elect to receive one day of vacation time for each three days accrued leave. Councilman Sheridan asked how many employees the Liquor Stores have. The Finance Director answered including both part-time and full-time, between 25 and 30. Councilman Sheridan said that this proposal takes one segment of the City of Fridley employees and treats them differently than the rest of the employees. He wondered why this should be, and if it was fair. The City Manager explained the reason for this was because of the possibility of discontinuance of Municipal sale of liquor. They Pelt that this would be a hazard that no other employees would have. There would be the possibility of cut-off of employment. He � said that there was a top limit of 60 days to the amount of accrual sick leave a liquor store employee could collect, however, none of the employees were close to that level. Councilman Liebl commented that after maybe 10 years of work, this clause would afford the employee time to look for other employment, and still have some money coming in. Councilman Samuelson said that he felt that the union should collect their own dues. Councilman Liebl asked who suggested this. The City Manager said that this suggestion came from the union. Councilman Liebl said that many private enterprises do this. He asked the Finance Director how much it would cost. The Finance Director said that the cost cannot be measured, but the real problem is that the City does not have the facilities to do this. It would mean the purchase of a new machine. He said that the machine the City now uses cannot deduct any more items. Councilman Sheridan asked how the wage scale compares. The City Manager said that it is higher than private industry, the main reason is that with a Municipal operation, there are not many tips received. He said that it was generally in line with other suburbs. He then asked how they compared with the raises of the other employees. The City Manager said in some cases they were higher, but were kept in line with other suburbs. Councilman Liebl asked the City Manager what was his recommendation. The City Manager said that he would recommend deleting Paragraph G dealing with check off of dues by the City, and rephrase the first line of Paragraph D, ' as it could be misinterpreted, by adding onto the line "-------was discussed." Councilman Liebl commented that all City employees are covered by insurance, but some have indicated to him that they wanted increased coverage for their depen- dents. The City Manager said that those who wished it, were given the necessary information. Councilman Liebl said in regard to the wages, that the City must i I REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1969 PAGE 11 , pay a good wage to ensure having good employees. He said that the Liquor Store in Skywood showed a good increase in sales, and this may be because of good help. MOTION by Councilman Liebl to concur with the recommendation of the City Manager and delete Paz'agraph G, and add "was discussed" onto the first line of Paxagraph D, and authoxize sending the lettex to the unions. Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham de- clared the motion carried. RESOLUTION #33-1969 - RESOLUTION RELATIVE TO ADDITIONAL HOOY•UP TO THE NORTH SUBURBAN SANITARY SEWER DISTRICT SYSTEM: (Robert Schroer) MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to adopt Resolution #33-1969. Seconded by Council- man Samuelson. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.

CONSIDERF�TION OF ➢ISASTER EMERGENCY OPERATING PLAN: The Director of Civil Defense said that this plan involves a rather new concept in plan, and because of this, he felt that it would be best to present before the Council, even though it is not completed. This is still in draft form and there are some annexes to be added. He said that the booklet explains itself quite well as it goes along. He said that many times in Civi1 Defense work, you find many ambiguous statements. What he has tried to put together is a working tool which could be used for any kind of a disaster. Councilman Liebl asked why indication of Civil Defense housing was not included for placement on buildings. The Director of Civil Defense answered because he did not want the people confused on where to go in the case of a National disaster, and that the markings were 7ust for fallout shelters. The City Manager said that this is a draft of a disaster emergency operation plan for implementation during a disaster emergency, pending completion and approval of the final plan. The Director of Civil Defense added that this would be the basic plan, and additions and changes could be made through the addrtion of annexes. He said that he has been meeting with the schools and volunteer clubs and the Ministerial Association to set up help if needed. Councilman Liebl commented that the Rice Creek Association and the Innsbruck � Association should be added to his list of possible volunteer labor forces. The Director of Civil Defense said that to his knowledge, there was no plan like this in the State of Minnesota. He said that he had a meeting at Rose- ville the next day and hopefully, Mr. Strub� of the U.S. Weather Bureau will be able to make another prediction on the possibility of flooding in the Riverview Heights area this spring. Councilman Liebl asked if there would be any allocation of Federal Funds. The Civil Defense Director said that he did not know. Councilman Samuelson asked about the provisions for contractural forces during a disaster. The Director of Civil Defense said that this is one of the annexes being worked on now by the Finance Director and City Manager. He said that another annex being worked on now is providing for mass housing facilities, provisions for food, and storage of household goods. He said that when the Finance Director is ready with the portion dealing with contractural forces, it will all be stipulated specifically. The City Manager said that the City would control the contracts. Councilman Liebl asked if this means if a portion of the City were declared a disaster area. The City Manager said yes, and if it is not received soon, it will not do any good. MOTION by Councilman Samuelson to spprove the tentative draft disaster emergency operating plan for implementation if a disaster should occur before approval , of the final draft is ready. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried. CONSIDERATION OE DIKING IN THE RIVERVIEW HEIGHTS FLOOD AREA: The Director of Civil Defense said the question here, is,does the City try to i � - „ REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1969 PAGE 17 , protect the people through diking, or move them out. He said that he had a meeting with the Corps of Army Engineers and tried to come up with some alter- natives. The Engineering Assistant presented a map showing the areas that were inundated in 1965. He said that if a dike was built, it would go along the creek, then up Riverview Terrace to Ironton Street. He said that it would take 20,000 yards of material. This would cost between $40,D00 and $50,000, and would have to be about 7' high at the lower end. He said that the dike along the creek could be permanent. He said that between Cheryl Street and 79th Way the dike would have to be partially on private land. He explained that the flooding occurs from the creek backa.ng up. The Civil Defense Director explained that Mr. Mertes of the Corps of Army Engineers explained to him that for the purposes of placing a permanent dike, a 100 year flood level is determined, and that the flood in 1965 was considered to be the 50 year flood level. This is why the proposed dike would have to be so big. The Engineering Assistant said that the last pro7ection was made February 7, 1969, and that pro�ection was that it would be somewhere between the level of the 1952 and 1965 flood. He said that the lakes in the northern part of the State have been lowered, so they will retain as much water as they can, before they let it out. The Civil Defense Director added that the Civil Defense information � he has received indicated that the ground content of water is about 100%. Councilman Sheridan asked when the flood occurred in 1965. The Engineering Assistant said that it crested April 17th. He said that they are working on a communications system from St. Cloud, so we can tell heze about when to ex- pect the crest. The Director of Oivil Defense said that there would be about 42 feet right of way needed below Cheryl Street. The City Manager added that this would cut off access for removal of household goods, if it should become necessary. The City Engineer said that there was a study made in 1965 on the feasibility of a dike, and that it would involve 40 to 45 homes. Councilman Sheridan said that the money is one consideration, but also to be considered is the time element. The Corps of Army Engineers advises that the dike should be in place by March 25th. The City Engineer added that an Emergency Ordinance would also have to be passed and that there would have to be quota- tions asked from the contractors who would work on this. Councilman Liebl said that the question is, would it be a 7ustifiable expense to build a dike of this size. The Director of Civil Defense showed a map which included 70 to 80 homes, and said if 50 homes did flood, the people would stand to lose about $35,000. Councilman Samuelson asked if any warning has been sent out. The Director of Civil Defense said that a letter was sent out along with a form to fa.11 out to about 112 homes. About 75o have been returned He said that if it reached the level of 1965, it would involve about 50 homes � Mayor Kirkham said that it seemed to him, all things considered, that a dike would not be feasible. Councilman Liebl said that he felt that it was not feasible this year, but felt that something s]-�ould be worked out on a permanent basis for the protection of those homes Councilman Samuelson asked how many lineal feet this would involve_ The Engineering Assistant said 4100 lineal feet. The City Manager commented that � � J REGIILAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1969 the creek should be straightened also before a dike is put in. PAGE 18 Councilman Sheridan said that he agreed with Mayor Kirkham, that money, time and materials are all against us at this time. The Engineering Assistant said that the Public Works has to know the Council determination as they would have to prepare to sandbag the manholes. The Assistant City Attorney said that he had �ust heard about a bill before Congress that would make funds available before a disaster. The Civil Defense Director said that he did not know about this, but he did receive a question- aire to be filled out covering dispensing of emergency funds in a snow emer- gency etc. MOTION by Councilman Liebl to concur with the letter prepared by the City Manager to be sent to the Corps of Army Engineers asking for a studp to be made, and to authorize the signature by Mayor Kirkham. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried, CONSIDERATION OF TEST WELLS: The CYty Engineer said that the Council authorized the Engineering Department to make abr�ut 7 test wells. He said that he is sorry to say that after 5 borings, they have not hit water yet. There is one area near the Ice Arena that looks very favorable. He said that they hope to put in two wells this year and maybe two wells next year. He said that FMC would not agree to allowing bor�.ng on their property. He explained that the City has a three level system. He said that they would like to put a booster station on 73'� Avenue, but would need to acquire the land in this area. He said that there is another sa,te at the north end of the City which looks promising, and another in Commerce Park. He said that he would like authorization from the Council to proceed with negotiations or condemnations for the acquisition of the property near 73'� Avenue. He said that about � of the money has been spent ($10,D00) and have gotten one we11 site. MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to authorize negotiations or aondemnation proceedings for the acquisition of the necessary land near 73� Avenue, Commerce Park and near 83rd Avenue and the railroad tracks, and authorize two additional test wells.

RICHARD HARRIS: ROAD CONCEPT SOUTH AND EAST OF QNAWAY ADDITION• Mr. Richard Harris said that it has come to his attention that there is some plan for extending Main Street south to Osborne Road and extending the Univer- sity Avenue Service Drive from 79th Avenue to Osborne Road. He said that he owns 600 feet and Bob Schroer owns 1200 feet and his property goes all the way back to Main Street, yet neither one of them have heard anything about these plans. The City Engineer said that the Planning Commission had been working on a road concept to fit into this general area. Mr. Harris said that he finds this highly irregular that the Planning Commission Minutes were received at a Special Meeting at 5:15 P.M. when no one knew about it. Mayor Kirkham informed him that this was a concept only and this is nothing , � , � � ' REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1969 PAGE 19 official.
