VISITORS:
Mr. Robert Astrup, 6640 McKinley Street N.E.: Erection of Fence in Alley:
Mr. Astrup said he was here at the request of Jim Gibbs who came out to his
house last week. Ha.s problem concerns the erection of a fence between his and
his neighbors property in the alley. The erection of the fence would cause
about 6 trees to be lost. He has requested his neighbor to move his fence about
1' to 1'-,' to save the trees, but he has refused to do this. Since this is
City property, and City txees, he would request that the City look into the
placement of the fence. There was also a problem aUout 5 years ago when the
man who owned the house bladed off the property and exposed the roots of about
a 100 year old oak tree. He was afraid it would die and he and his wife
hauled dirt to cover the roots and sodded. He felt this would beautify the
area and prevent erosion. Because of the unwillingness of his neighbor to
cooperate, between 4 and 6 trees will be destroyed.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 1971 PAGE 2
' Mayor Kirkham asked if this fence would be on City property. The City Engineer
said that this is 7ust north of 66th Avenue between Fridley and McKinlep
Streets. The alley is 12'. Councilman Harris asked what was the man's
reason for not moving the fence. The City spends a certain amount of money
each year for City beautification and he would hate to see them taken down.
The City Engineer said that the City does not maintain the alley. In areas
where the alley is not open the people do fence. This seems to be a neighbor-
hoo3 problem and is a matter of two neighbors getting together in the location
of the fence. It is difficult for the City to dictate.
Mrs. Harold Lunning, 6655 Fridley Street N.E., said that Mr. Astrup talks
of beautifying the area, but you should see it. He has said that he hoped
the tree would fall on his garage. Mr. Lunning said that he has not touched
the fence as yet. Before he did anything, he contacted the City Engineer
and City Attorney. He said he understood the alley is not vacated. He would
like to put up the fence because there is a 1ot of foot traffic.
The City Attorney said that Mr. Astrup came in to see him and had a survey on
which it appeared the alley had been vacated. He wants to construct a fence
in the center of the alley. The City Attorney said that he had no knowledge
whether the alley had been vacated or not, but if it was vacated, he would have
every right to construct the fence. It appears since talking to him that the
alley is not vacated, so it is a matter for Council control as it is a
platted alley.
� The City Engineer said that he has suggested vacating the alley, however, an
easement would have to be retained £or power lines. The City has allowed
fencing in alleys such as this. Access is not needed for any garages.
Councilman Kelshaw asked why the fence could not be moved to save the trees.
Mr. Lunning said that if he sold his property, he would want to get his fair
share for the property. The City Attorney said that fences are not used to
determine the lot lines. Mr. Astrup said that he was not trying to deprive
him of any property. Mayor Kirkham said that this matter could be put on the
Agenda for next week and in the meantime, his Ward Councilman can research
the matter.
Mr. Lunning said that Mr. Astrup has a dog that runs loose all day. He was
told to call City Hall and file a complaint. A neighbor said that he lives
behind Mr. Astrup and there is no reason the fence could not be run straight
across and he was in agreement with Mr. Astrup. Mr. Astrup said that as to
his saying that he hoped the tree would fall on his garage, he said it
lightly and in the sense that he needed a new garage.
Mr. Douglas Osieczanek, 101 Crown Road: Tree Damage:
Mr. Osieczanek showed the Council a copy of a release that he was requested
to sign when he received the $47.50 for the damage to his trees. It stipu-
lated that he was not to be remunerated for any further damage to his trees.
He said that was not the way he understood the conversation. (JUne 7, 1971)
' He said he was not ahout to sign such a statement and would like to hear the
tape played back. He believed the Council said that they would approve pay-
ment of the claim as long as his replacements were not close to the curb.
The way this release is stated, he would have to replant the existing trees.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12� 1971
Councilman Harris asked that the tape be listened to, and the release
stated based on that motion.

Mr. R. D. Thompson of Burlington Northern said that due to the merger, they
were delayed in this vacation request. Now they are ready and have reached
an agreement with NSP.
Mayor Ka.rkham asked the audience if anyone wished to be heard on this requestr
with no response.
MO�'ION by Councilman Harris to close the Public Hearing on the Vacation Request,
SAV #69-03, by Burlington Northern. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a
voice wte, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the hearing closed at

PUBLIC HEARiNG 6N IMPROVEMENT: WATER� SANITARY SEWER AND STORM SEWER
PROJECT #103:
The City Engineer said that this pro7ect would serve the Innsbruck North plat
with water, sanrtary sewer and storm sewer. There will be facilities in
Matterhorn Drive and Arthur Street. This is only the first stage of the
total improvement of Innsbruck North. The water line will run along Matter-
horn Drive and connect onto the Gardena Avenue line. There is also a
proposed water line along Arthur Street. The sanitary sewer line serves
basically the same locality, and will serve the first phase of the develop-
ment, to the town house area. These are all permanent facilities, and will
not need to be torn up later. There will be another pro�ect to complete
the construction. The storm sewer is to take care of the drainage in the
Innsbruck North area and only affects a small area. It will take the water
into the ponding areas.
MOTION by Councilman Kelshaw to close the Public Hearing on Water, Sanitary
Sewer and Storm Sewer Improvement Pro7ect #103. Seconded by Councilman
Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the
Public Hearing closed at 8:04 P.M.

MILLER HOMES� P.EPLAT OF LOTS 1, 2� 3� BLOCK 3� AND OUTLOTS 1& 2� COCHRAN'S
ADDITION:
The City Engineer said that this is a plat south of Rice Creek Road near
Stinson Boulevard. The Planning Commission reviewed this plat and have
recommended approval of the proposed plat.
Councilman Harris asked about the interconnection of 61st Avenue with the
Outlot. The City Engineer said that there is an overall plan showing how the
area would be developed and showed the plans at the Council table. Benjamin
would be a through street with the other_streets interior streets. Council-
man Harris asked if it would not be in order to request that 61st be part of
the plat. The City Engineer saad it would be dedicated and made part of the
plat.

� Councilman Liebl asked if this is bas�cally the plan that was approved by
the Council. He added that he was concerned about the storm sewer. The
City Engineer said that this is the basic layout the Council approved to
develop the whole area with some modifications. There is a 75' jog in 62nd
Avenue. The Park Construction Representative was present at the discussions
with the �lanning Commission and they feel it is a good plan, and did not
ob�ect to the plans. The City Engineer felt the �og should be realigned
a little.
Councilman Liebl asked if the grading as established would be acceptable
engineering-wise to manipulate the surface water with no problem. The City
Engineer said that this area does not have storm sewer. The City has tried
to put in an underground system, but because there was not much development
in this area, they did not meet with much success. The only other way to
get this area developed is to have money provided in �scrow for the future
storm sewer, so that when a buyer buys a home, he will not have to pay for the
storm sewer as it will already be provided for. There is no doubt, the best
solution would be to put in the storm sewer, and he would not want to give
the wrong impression. The flooding problems will get worse. Councilman
Kelshaw said that there were flooding problems on Pierce last year. Heather
Hills is about 3/4 developed and now we are bringing in another development.
If there was flooding this year, will it not be worse next year� The City
Engineer said that he has been trying to get the stoxm sewer in for 10 years.
As long as there is more development there will be more flooding. There are
three choices, either stop development, pu.t,in the full system, or do a
� patchwork type of program until the full system is put in. Councilman
Kelshaw asked where the water would go. The City Engineer said the same
as it does now, into Moore Lake. Councilman Kelshaw said that Moore Lake
backs up now. This is what caused the problem on Pa.erce. If development is
allowed there will be more run-off toward Moore Lake. The City Engineer
said that the overall plan for the,storm sewer calls for another outlet into
Rice Creek.
Councilman Liebl said that what Councilman Kelshaw is asking is very im-
perative. She developer must be informed that he will be required to put
money in escrow for the storm sewer. The City Engineer said that all the
Council has to do is order in the improvement he asked for in 1961. He
cannot assure the Council there will be no problems. Councilman Harris
pointed out this is actually a heara.ng on a plat, not a storm sewer hearing.
Perhaps now is the time to again ask for Federal assistance with the storm
sewer.

RECEIVING REPORT REGARDING SPEEDY CAR WASH, SKYWOOD MALL AND OTHER BUSINE55E5
IN THAT AREA:
The City Engineer said that he has met wrth Mr. Mortenson a number of times,
and he has done some of the work agreed to, and he has not done some additional
work the City would like him to. The City Attorney's office is checking with
the Attorney General's office and also the League of Municipalities to outline
the powers of the City in regard to going back and getting existing old
properties improved regarding blacktopping, drainage, and other up-keep
requirements that were not in effect when the bua.lding permit was issued.
Councilman Kelshaw said that he had asked for this report and he did unc?er-
stand the City Engineer, Crty Attorney and the City Manager have l�een making
good progress.
MOTION by Councilman Kelshaw to receive the report and accept what has been
done. Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,

FIRST READING OF REZONING ORDINANCE ZOA #71-04� TO REZONE THE AREA FROM M-2
TO C-2, BRYANT INVESTMENT COMPANY, WILLIAM BARBUSH- AREA ALONG UNIVERSITY
AVENOE SOUTH OF 83RD AVENUE:
The City Engineer said that the Council held the Public Hearinq last meeting
with no ob�ections. On Pages 45 - 47 is the discussion by the Planning
Commission for Council review.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to approve the Ordinance�on first reading and waive
the reading. Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a roll call vote, Breider,
Kelshaw, Kirkham, Liebl and Harris voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the
motion carried unanimously.
FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO CONSTRUCTION OF AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE
STATIONS AMENDING SECTION 45.01, SUBDIVISION B. PARAGRAPH 3, SUBPARAGRAPH E:
Councilman Liebl asked the City Attorney if it was not correct that any
facility now in operation is grandfathered in. The City Attorney saad yes,
on special use permits and zoning changes they do have the grandfather right.
For those establishments now in existance, the best the City can do, is have
reasonable requirements at the time of licensing to try to reduce the bad
effects they may have. The City has no power to qo back and require them to
change. Councilman Liebl asked if this Ordinance was strong enough to be
able to deny a special use permit. The City Attorney said yes, if the
factors before the Planning Commission and Council are strong enough.
Councilman Harris said that what he was looking for was not only an Ordinance
on construction, but location. There are a number of locations where there
is the question of the ultimate use. The City Engineer said that he did not
feel an Ordinance could be made exclusively for a certain area. It is to set
'
'

� ���
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 1971 PAGE 6
� up guidelines for the Planning Commission and Council, and if there is a
denial, there would have to be a list of reasons why the denial was made.
He questioned whether the City could actually zone out certain operations.
The City Attorney added that the City could not do that. Councilman Harris
said that if he reads the Ordinance rightly, it does not govern locations.
Ae added that Fridley already has quite a number of these facilities. The
City Attorney said that the governing of such types of businesses has to be
done by zoninq, not special use permit regulations. Councilman Harris said
that his intent was to come up with some criteria which would govern the
number of these facilities. The City Attorney said that would not be en-
forceable. The City Engineer said when an area is platted, there could
possibly be covenants placed on the plat. The City Attorney said that even
then, if the owner did not agree to it, he could plat without the covenant.
Councilman Liebl said that this Ordinance is quite explicit and would upgrade
the quality of gas stations.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to approve the Ordinance on fa.rst reading and waive
the xeading. Seconded by Councilman Harris. Upon a roll call vote, Kirkham,
Liebl, HarYis and Breider voting aye, (Kelshaw out of room), Mayor Kirkham
declared the motion carried.
FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING AND RECODIFYING SECTION 45.19, RELATING
TO SPECIAL USE PERMITS:
� MOTION by Councilman Harris to approve the Ordinance on first reading and
waive the reading. Seconded by Councilman Liebl.
Councilman Breider asked if, for spemal use permit requests, it only requires
a 3/5 vote of the Council. The City Attorney said that for rezonings, by
state law, there must be 4/5 vote of the Council, for special use permits it
does not. The City Engineer commented that there is an Ordinance which
requi.res a special use permit for a double bungalow in R-1 zoning to be
passed by a 4/5 vote of the Council.
THE VOTE upon the motion, being a roll call vote, Harris, Breider, Kirkham
and Liebl voting aye, (Kelshaw out of room), Mayor Kirkham declared the
motion carried.
CONSIDERATION OF CAMP LOCKESLEA SUMMER YOUTH SI-IELTER:
Mayor Kirkham said that he had asked that this item be put on the Agenda. A
couple of weeks ago there was an article in the Fridley Sun announcing the
proposed use of the Girl Scout Camp, Camp Lockeslea, on East River Road, as
a youth shelter. The article said that the City officials had been contacted
and approved, but this was not true. The day following the article appearing
in the paper, many people in the area indicated displeasure and contacted
him. The sponsors of the program were contacted and asked to make their
xequest before Council.
' Mrs. Diane Hedin, Center for Youth Development and Research, University of
Minnesota, said that their agency, along with the Girl Scouts of America, YMCA,
YWCA, the Catholic Youth Center, Neighborhood Youth Corps, Phyliss Wheatley/
Loring Nicollet Community Centers etc. are sponsors of this program. All
these agencies have been concerned about providing youth hostel shelters.
C(a�
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF SULY 12� 1971 PAGE 7
There has been a change in parental attitude toward yaung people travelling
around the country. This kind of shelter is not readily available in this
country. The young people tend to gravitate toward the hippie type areas,
because this is where they can find other young people. The sponsoring
agencies felt a need for this particular kind of program. The youth hostel
would be for travellers over the age of 16, that are not in trouble with the
law, are not run-aways etc. The clearing house is on the West Bank at the
Cafe Extempore. The West Bank has a reputation for being the place to come
to for information among the youth. If a person needs hostel services� they
are put through a screening process and if it is found they have some kind
of a problem, they are referred to another agency. The only ones that come
to Camp Lockeslea are those that are cleared by the screening board. She
said she was very sorry about not conferring with the City Council prior to
opening the camp, but she had talked to the Chief of Police and the Ministerial
Association. She said that this program is under the supervision of the
Greater Minneapolis Girl Scout Council and introduced Judith Hanratty.
Judith Hanratty sayd that Camp Lockeslea is a 36 bed troup-type housing unit.
Because of the proximity of the camp to the Cities and because many troups
do not meet during the summer, Camp Lockeslea stands empty. She said they
became involved and met with other youth agencies. When this particular
problem came up they saw Camp Lockeslea as being particularly benificial to the
program because of the vacancy, and they could serve by making it available.
The Board of Da.rectors for the Girl Scouts approved this program.
Councilman Liebl asked Miss Hanratty if the camp provides supervision. Miss
Hanratty replied yes, there is 24 hour supervision, and added that the man
who provides the supervision is present this evening. Councilman Liebl asked
if this hostel is similar to those in Europe. Nuss Hanratty said yes, very
sa.milar. Mrs. Hedin added that when parents send their children off to
Europe, there is no problem, but it is not so in this country. The program
has been paf.terned after the European hostels.
Councilman Kelshaw asked, when the program was outlined to the Police Chief,
what did he tell har. Mrs. Hedin replied that he said it was a good idea and
if they needed any help to call on him. The City Manager added that his
office was informed the same week the article appeared in the paper.
Councilman Liebl said that there has been concern expressed by those living
close to the camp because of the possibility of getting in "hippie-type
individuals". Cafe Extempore does not have a good reputation. He asked
who does the screening. Mrs. Hedin said that Mitchell Berdie is in charge
of the screening and the screening is done by graduate students and psychology
students of the IIniversity on a volunteer basis. She added that $1.25 a
night is charged.
Councilman Breider asked how many they have served. N1rs. Hedin replied 12
so far. Word has not gotten around yet of the availability o£ this facility.
Councilman Breider asked if there has been any communication from the Police
Department of any problems. The City Manager said there have been no incidents
reported from that area. The only contact he has had with the residents has
been t��rough the letter £rom Mr. William Hoffmann found in the Counca.l
Agenda.

' Councilman Harris asked, in reference to Miss Hanratty's comments about the
vacancy o£ the facility, do the Girl Scouts plan on disposing of this
property? Miss Hanratty said that it is being used during the summer, but
they scheduled their use into one consecutive time so that it could be
available for other use. Councilman Kelshaw asked if boys could be in
there at the same time. Miss Hanratty said very nicely. The facility is
two floors, so the girls could be on one floor and the boys the other.
Mayor Kirkham said as to the screening at Cafe Extempore, to hun, this
seemed the least likely place for the screening to take place. This is a
hang-out for hippies and he would not expect any qualified screening to come
from there. It has been said there would not be any drug addicts taken, but
how can an individual tell if a person is an addict, if that person does not
want the investigator to know. Mrs. Hedin said before Cafe Extempore
changed their location, they did have this reputation, but it is not so any
more. The manager of the Cafe has tried very hard to get rid of this re-
putation. The Cafe Extempore is not a place where drugs are used or sold now.
The Universrty students give their time to do the screening. Mayor Kirkham
saa.d he was not interested in Fridley becoming a flop house for bums.
Transient youths is 7ust another name for bums. He did not think it was fair
to let this happen in a residential neighborhood. The parents are very con-
cerned about this element coming in.
Mr. William Hoffmann, 6900 Hickory Drive N.E., said he lived close to the camp.
� It has been stated that the Police ➢epartment received no reports from that
area, but they did not see what the residents saw. There were 4 or 5
"bushy-haired individuals" seen on the streets last Sunday, and he could not
tell if they were girls or boys. He said he resents their coming in there.
They are transients; why are these bums not home? They are �ust drug
addicts, alcoholics, draft doggers etc, and Fridley is asked to put them up
in our back yard. The Police Chief has said he would be happy to cooperate.
There would have to be more fire control, police control, drug control,
and restrictions on crossing the river into Brooklyn Center. He said he
was all in favor of a Girl Scout camp and he was sure Mrs.Locke, originator
of the camp in 1912, would turn over in her grave if she knew the use it was
being put to. There is $1.25 charge, but you know they will not pay it.
These are people moving about the country going to and from rock festivals.
He saa.d he has been authorized by a three block area of his neighbors to
speak in opposition to this program.
Councilman Breider said Mr. Hoffmann talks about bums. Are these young people
travelling about the country bums, �ust because they do not have the funds to
go first class? There are some Fridley students who have gone to Europe
on a hostel program. Are they bvms? Mr. Hoffmann repled for the most part,
yes. The hostels in Europe are operated entirely different. These bums are
runna.ng about the country going to and from rock festivals. He said yes, he
would classify them as bums. They have money, expensive radios and cameras,
but they know the do-gooder organizations will take care of them. He said he
was against the use of the Girl Scout camp for anything other than Girl
� Scouts. The Girl Scouts have always en7oyed a good reputation.
Mrs. Hedin said that she wanted to clear up an inaccurate statement. Mr.
Hoffmann made reference to "bushy-haired individuals" roaming about the
streets. The camp was not used last week, so what they saw and ob7ected to
must have been their own Girl Scouts. A member of the audience said that she
agreed with NLr. Hoffmann and the people they saw could not have been Girl
Scouts - they must have climbed over the fence.
���
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12� 1971
PAGE 9
Miss Hanratty said as a staff inember of the Girl Scouts, she would like to �
say that it is their most ardent wish to be of service to the community,
not a burden. They believe it is�a worthwhile program. 5he said she was
very pleased with the way the entire program has been conducted and the Girl ,
Scouts go on record as supporting the program. She added that none of the
people Mr. I3offmann described have been to the camp.
Dorothy Burger, Anoka State Hospital, said that she has known Mr. Berdie
since he was a little boy. It is time this country stopped being afraid of
their children. Germany has set up hostels for their young people; why not
the United States. Mayor Kirkham said we are not afraid of our children,
more afraid for our children.
A member of the audience said this was a vesy commendable thing, and she
would think it would be a good thing to find in going into another city. She
said she lives on Locke Lake and is concerned about what kind of people this
is going to draw. It is true there is going to be screening� but how do you
keep out others? She questioned if she could send her 16 and 19 year old
daughters out into her back yard. Mrs. Hedin said these are your sons and
daughters. Another member of the audience said you cannot 7ust open your
doors to all young people. Mrs. Hedin said that the screening process
really does work. A member of the audience asked if they were held inside
the camp. The Counselor for the camp said that the front qate has to be
left open in case of fire. He added that they have had two school teachers
stay with them that were travelling for the summer. They felt this would be
a better way to keep in touch with the young people they were trying to ,
teach. There was a boy from England travelling toward the West Coast, and
a couple of high school students travelling for the summer because they could
not find summer 7obs and decided to see the country before gQing back to
school in the fall.
Mr. Mrtchell Berdie said that himself, Mrs. Hedin and a psychologist supervise
t he group of volunteers that do the screening, with one of them on duty to
take care of any problems. There is a training session for the volunteers.
The procedure is to try to initiate a conversation with the person requesting
housing and while conversing, look for tell-tale clues they are trained to
look for. If the person appears to be a run-away or have psychological
problems they are referred to another agency. Only the legitimate travellers
are taken for the camp. These are people travelling on a low budget. He
said they do not let in anyone they suspect will misuse the facility. They
do have a thorough procedure an3 they let in only those they are sure of.
Councilman Kelshaw asked if they get their name and address. Mr. Berdie
said yes, along with a home phone number. Miss Hanratty said the Girl
Scouts have insurance and this is one of the requirements. Mr. Hoffmann
said this is not zoned commercial and he resented the motel type of facility.
Miss Hanratty said they charge a$1.25 fee,which is the same fee they charge
the Girl Scouts.
A member of the audience said there was a big flaw in the screening process.
He has found that those in the most trouble and out free are the most ,
astute at avoiding being detected.
���
REGULAR COVNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 1971 PAGE 10
, A member of the audience said that with the European hostels, the screening is
done two months in advance. There was no narcotics problem when her girl
toured Europe last summer, Mrs. Hedin said that she has had experience with
the European hostels and this is patterned after them. A member of the
audience said that she was a resident of Fridley and traditionally, Americans
do not pre7udge people before they find out what they are like.
Mrs. Helen Johnson, Chamber of Commerce Secretary, asked why they would stay
there three nights. Mrs. Hedin said that this is the limit the same as it is
in Europe, if they wish to stay over to rest up. Normally people would 7ust
stay overnight. A member of the audience asked what method is used to get
out to the camp. Councilman Liebl answered they are picked up by bus. Mrs.
Hedin said that a place on the West Bank was chosen, because like it or not,
this is where young people congregate.
A representative of the Ministerial Association said that they did contact
the churches in the area, and met with the Ministerial Association. The
Association's feeling was that a problem does exist and rather than have the
young people go some place else, this facility was being made availaUle to
them. He said he wanted to appologize for the bad communications with the
City. Reverend McChesney and Reverend Eitrheim met with the Police Chief, and
some of the Association wrote the azticle for the Fridley Sun. They tried
to be open and honest in describing the facility. The Ministerial Association
has gone on record as supporting this program.
, Councilman Liebl said he had some comments to make. On many occasions when
he was young, between 14 and 18� he travelled with his bike to over 14
countries in Europe. He said you must have faith in your fellow man. He said
he had six children himself. If America is to survive you must trust each
other. He told Mr. Hoffmann he honored him in many ways, but if he were to say
he became a bum �ust because he travelled with little money he would take
exception. He did not become a drug addict or a bum, he became a man. Not
all people who travel are drug addicts. His daughter is 14 years old and has
sold many Girl Scout cookies. If the Ministerial Association is supporting
this, he must have faith in their judgment that riff-raff will not be sent
into Fridley.
Mrs. Helen Treuenfels said she had some comments to make on the kind of young
people you fa.nd on the West Bank. Last year a young man came from London who
was a friend of the family, although she had never met him. His parents are
both doctors and he was 20 years old. He chose to see the country on a bus
pass, although she was sure he could have afforded to go �irst class. He
felt he could get the feel of the country and meet more young people his own
age that way. He had come half way across the country ancl got into the bus
depot at about 1:30 A.M. and did not want to call her and wake her up to come
and get him. So he went to the West Bank and somehow the young people there
gave him lodging, then brought him out in their car to her home the next day.
He stayed at her house four days as he needed a place to relax. This young
man will probably become a doctor himself and in no way could be called a bum.
, Mayor Kirkham said if anyone wants to open their home, fine, but it is not
right to open up this facility if other residents do not want them. He said
he did not want these your,q people screened at the Ca£e Extempore and sent into
Fridley. He said he also has taken young people into his home, but he did not
feel he could trust a hippie hangout to do the screening. Mrs. Hedin again
stated that the screening is done by trained people at the Cafe Extempore.

Councilman Harris said he shared the concern of many residents of the community.
He was sure both sides were doing what they felt was right. He recognized
the problems involved in screening. He asked the City Attorney what 7uris-
diction the City has over Camp Lockeslea. The City Attorney said this is
private property and the operation is done with the consent of the property
owners. This is a camping area and has been for a number of pears. He would
say until such evidence came �hat the camp is creating a nuisance, he doubted
if a court would prevent its operation �.n advance. The only authoxity the
City has is in zoning and in controlling a nuisance, It is zoned R-1 but
the existing use is of a camping nature and whether any court would say this
is too much of a change, he could not predict, but he felt it would be doubt-
ful. He added that he was sure everybody is sincere in their belief, and
suggested they be given a trial period.
Mayor Kirkham said that the people in this area are opposed to their operation,
therefore, he is opposed. Councilman xarns said the Girl Scouts have always
been good neighbors. They have chosen to exercise their rights as property
owners. He would not want to see the City expend funds to enter into a law
suit to make a determination. He suggested possibly further screening is
necessary. Under the circumstances unless the City has 7urisdiction, he did
not feel the Council should say no. Mayor Kirkham said if the Council could
not 5ay no, they could require additional police protection and they would have
to pay for it. This is done in other cases where there are young people
gathering, such as dances.
Councilman Liebl stressed the importance of proper screening. To keep people
who live close by happy,pexhaps there could be regular police inspections.
He felt the organizations such as Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts helps make men and
women. You must treat the volunteer organizations with respect. People must
try to bridge the gap between the older generation and the younqer, and have
some trust in their fellow man. Mayor Kirkham said he had no objection to the
Gixl Scouts and the Boy Scouts, but this is not their pxogram. Miss Hanratty
said this is very much a part of the Girl Scout program. The Girl Scouts
have always had travelling programs. Hosteling, travelling, seeing the
countxy, are vexy much a part of Girl Scouts.
The City Attorney suggested the Ministerial Association or the church members
could have a more active part in the screenittg process. Mr. Be�'die said that
anyone is welcome to stop by and check their screening procedures any time.
Mayor Kirkham said that i£ Fridley would be on shakey ground to refuse the
request, he would say the suggestion of the City Attorney is a good one. A
representative of the Ministerial Association said he would like to meet with
the C1ty officials any time. Mayor Kirkham said he would meet with them.
Mayor Kirkham asked if .tt was determined by the Cotincil there is additional
police protection needed, would �they bear the cost? Mrs. Hedin said she was
not sure they could, it would be extremely difficult. They operate on a very
low budget. Mayor Kirkham told Mrs. Hedin this is something the City insists
upon at other meetings of young people.
Councilman Kelshaw asked when they have Girl Scouts there, how many are there
Miss Hanratty said the troups vary a great deal in size, but they cannot
exceed 36• Councilman Kelshaw said that he could not see where additional
police protecta.on is necessary.

� Mayor Kirkham asked for a show of hands among the audience of those living in
the area that are opposed to this program. Six people raised their hands. Mr.
Hoffmann said that he had been authorized to speak for a three block area in
opposition.
Mr. Dennis Otteson, 430 Timberland Drive, Burnsville, Minnesota, said that he
was here for another item, but had a comment to make. He said he had two
children of his own. He said he has hitch-hiked around the country, but
now owns a Cadillac and has a business, and did not consider himself a bum.
He has heard that the City of Fridley is concerned about unsavory elements
coming into the City. He would like to point out that over SOo of the calls
into the youth emergency service centers come from your suburbs.
RECESS:
Mayor Kirkham declared a recess at 9:30 P.M. The Meeting reconvened at lO:OD P.M.
CONSTDERATION OF GIFT OF A FOUNTAIN AND PARK EQUIPMENT SO MOORE LAKE PARK AND
CFIANGING THE NAME DF MOORE LAKE AND MOORE LAKE PARK:
Mr. Jim Gibson, President of the Fridley Lions Club, said first he would like to
state the Lions Club are not 100% responsible £or this gi£t. The Chamber of
Commerce thought over this idea and talked to several organizations in the
community and could not come up with any money to finance this. The Secretary
� of the Chamber of Commerce called him and said they would like to see a
fountain in the south end of Moore Lake Park. He said he talked to the Parks
and Recreation Director and the man who sells these fountains in Minneapolis
last Wednesday night. This man showed them a photographic display. The Board
has voted to expend this money for the improvement of Moore Lake Park. The
fountain will cost about $8,500, then there will be benches, tables, buxners
and shelter and a flag pole for a total cost of about $18,000. He said he
looked into the possibility of changing the name of Moore Lake to Lake Fridley.
He checked at the Department of Conservation who sent a copy of the state
statutes and found that Moore Lake has been in existance more than 60 years
and the state statutes say that any lake, waterway or stream named for over
40 years cannot be changed. He would like to request the name change of
Moore Lake Beach and Park to Moore Lake Seach and Lions Park, if this is
legally possible to do. It is the Lions hope to get an affiirnative answer
tonight, so that in the next two or three days �hey can insta.gate the pro-
cedures for getting the fountain installed. They have been told the fountain
can be installed in 21 days. They hope to have the work done by August 15th.
There is a L1ons Club picnic August 21st and they hope to dedicate the new
fountain and equipment to the City and he hoped the Council would participate.
He said they would also like participation by some of the state officials.
No other community has a fountain of this nature. With the lights on and the
water spraying up into the air, it creates quite an illusion. He said it is
wa.th great pleasure, he, as the President of the Fridley Lions C1ub, offers
this gift.
, Mayor Kirkham said that the Council certainly is willing to accept the gift.
He asked if this was in return for the name change. Mr. Gibson said no, the
name change is 7ust a suggestion. The Lions Club would like to make Moore
Lake Park a very nice place. Mayor Kirkham pointed out that the Saycees have
also spent a considerable amount of money at this park. Counczlman Kelshaw
��i

commented that there were many nights of bingo to finance this pro�ect. He
would like to accept this donation, and would commend the Lions Club and the
Chamber of Commerce.
MOTION by Councilman Kelshaw to graciously accept the gift to Moore Lake Park
by the Lions Club and waive the building permit fees. Seconded k�y Councilman
Harris. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion

$ 7,902.00
$10,3D1.18
The City Manager reported that the Administration did not complete their
analysis until last Friday. The qualified low bidder for the Commons Park
was Minnesota Toro Company, the low bidder for the Civic Center was Advance
Irrigation, but by combining the two bids, Minnesota Toro Company is still
the low qualified bidder. There is an advantage to the City in having the
same materials for interchange between the two pro�ects. Milsco Engineering
was the low bidder, but they did not submit a bid for enough pipe to complete
the pro7ect, therefore, the reason for the lower price. Since this company
does not furnish the City with the required materials, as specified in the
material bidding list, it is not a valid bid. He would recommend awarding
the bid to Minnesota Toro Company.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to award the bid for the irrigation system for the
Commons Park and Civic Center to Minnesota Toro Company in the amount of
$10,301.1t3. Seconded by Councilman Kelshaw.
Councilman Liebl asked what was the size of the pipe and what is the pressure.
The Director of Parks and Recreation saa.d the pa,pe varies from 4" to 1",
with a pressure of SO pounds. Councilman Liebl asked if this is enough
pressure. The Director of Parks and Recreation replied yes, this is what the
consultant advised. Councilman Liebl asked if this is a commercial type
irrigation system. The Parks Director said yes, it is not a residential
system. The distance reached is more than can be found in a home sprinkler
system. He added that the Parks Consultant, Mr. Braddock, has also checked
the system out.
THE VOTE upon the motion, beinq a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham
declared the motion carried unanimously.

District is in the process of being formed, and if the Council has any
hesitation in going ahead with the pro�ect, now is the time to speak. He
advised that the plans should be shown to the Watershed District. He said
they were having problems in getta.ng aqreements from residents for access.
I There is a letter from Dr. Sa7ady Akbar dated July 7, 1971 in which he
states that he has had estimates on the cost of repairing his lawn after the

The City Engineer said that Howard Johnson's Restaurant plans on remodeling.
They are setting up a bar on the south side and the entry way is changed,
and they will be changing their sign. They also plan on changing the color
of the roof. There is no problem with the plans.
Mayor Kirkham asked Mr. Jerry Snyder of Howard Johnson's, if this request
hinged upon their receiving a liquor license. Mr. Snyder said yes. Mayor
Kirkham told him that approval of their plans in no way promises them a
liquor license. The Council is not ready to make a determination as yet on
the liquor 3.icenses.
Councilman Kelshaw said that on Page 28 of the Minutes, there is some dis-
cussion in regard to repairing the blacktop. Ae felt this should be repaired
as part of the permxt. The City Engineer said that it is their responsibility
to work with the owner to get the b7.acktop repairecl. When a building is
upgraded, the building must meet new standards. Councilman Kelshaw wondered
if it could be made a part of the building permit that the parking lot in
Skywood Mall must be repaired. The City Attorney said he could not say what
the results of that would be if it were challenged. He suggested that Howard
Johnson's and Mr. Mortenson come into the office and sit down with the
Admina.stration to discuss the problem.
MOTION by Councilman Kelshaw to grant the permit to Howard Johnson's
Restaurant subject to the stipulations of the Building Standards - Design
Control with the additional stipulation that the parking lot be upgraded, and
to further request that the petitioner and Mr. Mortenson come into the
office to discuss the upgrading of the parking lot in Skywood Mall.
Seconded by Councilman Harris with the additional stipulation, with the
agreement of Councilman Kelshaw, that granting this building permit in no
way is an indication they will be granted a liquor license. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously.

' Councilman Harris asked what his plans were for the existing building. Mr.
Rallis said he did not know for sure, but probably steam cleaning of the
brick and glass. Councilman Harris said that he felt that the addition
looked very nice, but questioned the compatibility with the existing
structure. Mr. Rallis said that they will be trying to run a dignified
type of restaurant and they have tried to make it look a little different.
They plan on refurbishing the bar. Councilman Harris questioned if it would
be possible to put the mansard roof all across the whole building to tie
it together. Mr. Rallis said he was not sure it was possible, it would be
more costly. Councilman Harris said that what he was getting at was something
to tie the two parts of the building together, so it will not look too much
like an addition. Mr. Rallis said they plan on using a canopy over the
entrance. He said they may be able to take out the 20 year old brick and
glass, but that will have to come later. Councilman Harris said he was not
asking for them to change the front now, 7ust something to bring it together•
Mr. Rallis said that if running the mansard roof all across the front would
not require steel beams, perhaps they could do it, but he could not answer
that question now. There followed a discussion at the Council table while
looking at the plans. The Council asked the Finance Director to go back
to the office and bring a picture of the building back to the Council,
which he did.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to approve the plans for the addition for the
liquor store at 3710 East River Road sub�ect to the stipulations of the
� Building Board with the additional requirement that the cedar shake facade
be continued across the existing structure. Seconded by Councilman Kelshaw
for discussion.
Councilman Kelshaw said that on Page Three of the Purchase Agreement it
states: "The Purchaser agrees to reface the exterior of the building and
make other necessary repairs as required by the City Ordinances". Mr.
Rallis said that they plan on putting up a nice sa.gn on the south wall, but
they will agree to brick the rest, hopefully, by January lst. The City
Engineer said that could be made a part of the building permit.
MOTION WITHDRAWN by Councilman Harris, with the agreement of the seconder.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to approve the building permit for the liquor
store at 3710 East River Road sub�ect to the stipulations of the Suilda.ng
Board and also sub�ect to his replacing the g�iass blocks below the lounge bar

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12� 1971
PAGE 21
RECEIVING REPORT FROM MANAGEMENT TEAM REGARDING THE WORK DONE FOR THE CORRIDOR
STUDIES AND THE BRIDGE OVER THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND COST PARTICIPATION FOR
THE STUDY:
The City Engineer said that this study is to determine the prpper location of
the Mississippi River bridge crossing. On Page 70 of the Agenda it shows the
corridor studies and on Page 68� the cost participation for the studies by the
different governmental bodies as recommended by the management committee. On
Page 67 are the minutes of the meeting and as the Council will note at the
meeting he did not feel he could agree to the amount that is to be Fridley's
share without checking with the City Council. IP Fridley feels they want to
share in the cost of the studies, their share is $7500.
Councilman Harris asked if they were talking about a crossing at, 85th Avenue.
The City Engineer said no, the Metropolitan Council is footing the bill for the
analysis outline and then a consultant will determine where the crossing
should be. Mayor Kirkham asked how Fridley could participate in the amount of
$7500 without knowing where the bridge will be. The City Engineer said the
$7500 is Fridley's share of the cost for the studies to determine where it
should be. He added that it probably would not be in Fridley. Mayor Kirkham
asked what determines the cost. The City Engineer replied impact of the area
and population. The City Manager commented that another bridge would take the
pressure off I. #694. Councilman Harris said that originally the crossing
was planned for SSth Avenue, but Coon Rapids wanted it moved further north.
Further north would not help Fridley's problems with East River Road and
University Avenue. Councilman Liebl asked if they do make a study, will
Fridley be assessed. The City Engineer said no. Now there are about 9
different governmental bodies involved and if too many pull out, the study
will be scrapped. She basic background work has been done, now the analysis
will be made on where the crossing should be. Councilman Kelshaw pointed
out in the minutes it states that the Highway Department feels it is not
their responsibility to participate. The Crty Engineer said no, they do not
feel it is their problem. They hope to get the study made and present it
to the State Legislature. It would take about $50 million to get the system
built. There has to be a designation before there can be money from the
Minnesota Highway Department. They hope the Legislature will appropriate
funds and designate it as a highway system. Councilman Harris said he would
like to know how many other communities have agreed to spend this money.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to table this item to July 19, 1971. Seconded by
Councilman Kelshaw. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared
the motion carried unanimously.

tration and authorize acquisition of part of Lot 1, Slock 4, Hamilton's

White for Street Improvement Pro�ect St. 1970-3. Seconded by Councilman

motion carried unanimously.
RESOLUTION #72-1971 - A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF FRIDLEY TO ENTER
INTO A JOINT CONTRACT FOR THE PURPOSE OF UPGRADING THE TERMINAL EQIIIPMENT
USE➢ IN THE POLICE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM:
The City Manager said that this resolution is for the purpose of upgrading
the aommunications system in the Police Department. There would be �oint
participation with several communities. They have received a grant for the
first years operation, and hopefully, longer. The resolution is needed to
authorize Fridley's particiaption in the program. This communications
network would speed things up considerably.
MOTION by Councilman Kelshaw to adopt Resolution #72-1971. Seconded by
Councilman Liebl.
Councilman Breider asked if the actual cathode ray tube would be in the Police
� Department. The City Manager said that the list of equipment is to be found
on Page 77 of the Agenda, along with the estimated cost.
Captain W.J. Morris, Coon Rapids Police Department, said that the cost would
be less than $100 per month during the grant period. They tried to anticipate
"worst cost" in preparing their estimates. The City Manaqer pointed out that
the participating departments would only pay 25% during the grant period.
Captain Morris said that the grant is for one year with a review each year
therea£ter. They have received assurance that it would be for three years
and maybe for five years. He explained that with the system they have now,
if Fridley keys in, everyone else has to wait until the message is done, for
maybe 5- 10 minutes. This would be like a private line as opposed to a
party line.
Mayor Kirkham commented that this is an excellent example of 27 communities
cooperating without the help of the Metropolitan government.

RECEIVING PETITION #17-1971 - A REQUEST THAT LOT 21, BLOCK 10, HYDE PARK
ADDITION LOCATED ON THE LOT TO THE NORTH OF 5917 2ND STREET, BE TRANSFERRED
FROM THE STATE OF MINNESOTA TO CITY OF FRIDLEY. TO BE USED AS A PARK:
Mrs. Harry Holmberg, 5765 Main Street N.E. said that what they want is a tot
park. There are many small children in this area, and many of them play in
the street. She has heard about leasing land on the other side of Main
Street, but she did not want her small children crossing Main Street. There
are no parks for the children in this neighborhood to play in where they would
not have to cross a busy street.
Councilman Harris asked if there were homes on each side of the lot. Mrs.
Holmberg said yes, it is a single lot about 40' X 130', and belongs to the
State of Minnesota. There would be room for swings, merry-go-rounds, sand
boxes etc. The Crty Attorney said that the State owns it, but the County
controls it.
A member of the audience said that Fridley is knawn for their school system,
but what about their parks.
Mr. Wayne Siegfried, 5923 2nd Street N.E., said he was opposed to this idea
because the lot is too small. If these people want a place for their
children to play, some land should be leased from the railroad across Main
Street so there would be a larger space. Mayor Kirkham said the City has
inquired about land at 61st and Main, but the railroad was not interested in
leasing any land. Mrs, Homherg said she did not want the childxen crossa.ng
Main Street.
A member of the audience said that she lived in th.a.s area, but had no children.
If the little tots are too small to cross Main Street by themselves, they
should be in their own back yards under the supervision of their mothers.
When they are big enough to leave their own yards for ball playing etc., this
lot would not be big enough.
Councilman Harris said that he believed there were a number of lots in this
neighborhood that should be looked into. N1rs. Holmberg said yes, there was
one at 58th and 2nd Street, another at 59th and 2nd 5treet, and one at 6Dth
and 2'� Street. The fathers have offered to help put up the equipment.

� Councilman Kelshaw said that he had a three year old son and also a back yard,
but a.t is hard to keep a three year old from going down the street to where his
friend lives. It is true mothers should supervise their children, but they do
slip off. He said he would rather hear the noise of children playing than
the screech of tires.
A member of the audience said that the lot used on Altura is no bigger.
Councilman Harris said that there has been trouble with the 40'�lot on Altura
because it is so small. He asked that between now and next Monday night,
the Administration look into the situation and see what tax for£eit lots there
are in this area.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to receive Petition '�17-1971 and ask the Adminis-
tration to review available lots in this area. Seconded by Councilman Lzebl.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayox Kirkham declared the motion carried
unanimously.
DISCQSSION REGARDING DITCH THROUGH ONAWAY ADDITION NORTH OF 77TH WAY:
(PROJECT #1D1)
The Assistant Plant Manager of Barry Blower was present and said that they
have had problems with Stoneybrook Creek which runs east to wes�. It has
caused damage to the northeast corner of the Barry Blower property. The
creek is direc�ed through a 3' storm pipe under the railroad tracks. It is
inadequate to handle the storm water. The shore of the creek is being eaten
� away, but it has not reached the building yet. He understood the pro7ect has
been held up about three years due to court proceedings� but their building
will not hold up three years longer. They have had fill hauled in by a
private contractor. He would request that as soon as possible that the
inadequate pipe be replaced.
The City Engineer said that he had put this item on the Agenda before he
learned that the gentleman from Barry Blower was going to be present. In
1968 the Council did hold a public hearing but they did not order the pro�ect
in because Spring Lake Park should also enter into the pro�ect. The court
hearing is scheduled in August. He agreed the problem is getting quite
serious. Some of the streets have been paved in this area. Concrete was put
in near the creek crossings, A few days ago when we had the storm for '� hour,
the wa�er was over the road. There will be a court decision coming soon� and
he would recommend authorizing another public hearing and order in the total
pro�ect as proposed no matter what the outcome of the court proceedings. The
problem can be taken care of through staged constrnction, such as first
enlarging the pipe and ditch work. Then the pro7ect can be added onto as the
property develops. He suggested the hearing could be held in September.
Councilman Harsis wondered if ordering it in would pre7udice Fridley's case.
The City Attorney said that Spring Lake Park made a motion to dismiss the case
which the judge denied. The hearing will be in August.
