William Tonco Building Standards - Design Control: State Building Code: Mr. Tonco said that he wanted to bring the Building Standards - Design Control's concern about the State Building Code be£ore the Council; specifically the lessening o£ Fridley's Code by the State to allow single wall construction. He ' said the Buildzng Standards disagreed with the State on this section of the State Code and that allowing single wall construction, they felt, would be detri- mental to the community and the State as a whole. Minnesota has a severe climate and this would not give adequate insulation. He felt the requirements should be left as they are. r�i �� REGULAR COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 3, 1972 PAGE 3 , Mayor Liebl said that he had noted the Building Standard's request to amend the State Suilding Code in their minutes, and he agreed this should be implemented, if possible. The State Building Code is not as strict a5 Fridley's. I-Ie commented that Mr. Tonco has been on the Huilding Standards for many yeass and the City is proud of his activeness. Mr. TonCO is in the building trade, and knows what he is talking about. He said the Building Inspector should meet with the State Administrator to try to get some answers on this new State Building Code. Councilman Breider asked Mr. Tonco if his only comment on the State Code was in relation to the single wall construction. NLr. Tonco said that was the only rtem he knew o.f now, there may be more a£ter £urther study. The City Manager said that the City has received copies of the State Code. There is a meetiny scheduled for April 26th, if any o£ the Building Standards Subcommittee would like to attend. The State Administrator is going to explain the State Code, which would preempt the Fridley Code on July lst. He said that he was not sure at this point how exceptions or amendments can be made, but this is one o£ the things they want to find out at the meeting. Councilman Breider said that he would like to have any amendments Fridley would want to make ready to be incorporated �.n the Code before it goes into e£fect July lst. He asked that the Buildinq Standaxas study the Code for any deviations and make a recommendation to the Com^cil shortly after the Meeting April 26th, and the Council could have this back on the Agenda in May. The Engineering Assistant explained that the IIniform Building Code is used, Uut Fridley's Code amends it to cover what the City does not £eel is adequate. The City Attorney e�cplained that after July lst, Fridley's ' requirements cannot be more strict that the State's He commented that the Fire Prevention Bureau Chief was on an advisory committee dealing with the fire standards, and his commit�.ee objected quite strongly to the lowering o£ the fire standards, however, thea.r ob�ections did not meet with any success and the Code that was adopted is considerably lower than Fridley's. ORDINANCE #509 - AN ORDINANCE AMENDING 6ECTION 3.03 OF TH� CITY CODE - HOLIDAYS: MOTION by Councilman Utter to adopt Ordinance #509 on second reading, waive the reading and order publication. Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a roll call vote, Liebl, Uttex, Mittelstadt, & Breider voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried.

Seconded by Councilman Uttes. U;an a roll call vote, Liebl, Utter, Mittelstadt and Sreider voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried REPORT FROM CITY ATTORN�Y ON SKELLY OIL 5TATION AT 79TH WAY AND EAST RIVER ROAD: (Falkenstein vs City of Fridley) The City Attorney called the Council's attention to the brie£ memorandum he had � written dated Apri1 3, 1972 on -this matter. At a previous Council Meeting there was discussion on this and it was hoped that the matter might be resolved without litigation. The Counail had asked him to contact Mr. Falkenstein and Mr. Fudali, however, Mr. Fudali has been out of town and he had been unable to talk to him. The City Attorney said he had talked to Mr Falkenstein's attorney, Mr. Sokolowski, on a few occasions. In the meant.�me, the City ha5 had served upon it a motion � �_y__ __ r� ti REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 3, 1972 PAGE 4 on behalf of the apartment owners to intervene in the lawsuit. This motion , will be heard Friday, April 7th. He said at that time, he will have an oppar- tunity to discuss this matter with both parties so he would suggest that the Council table this matter until a£ter the Court appearance. Mayor Liebl said that he had stated that the Council would make a deczsion at this meeting, however, he would certainly like to see this settled out of Court, so it appeaxs the Council will have to wait until after April 7th. He said he would like to see Mr. Fudali purchase this lot. Mr. Falkenstein said he ob�ected to prolonqing this. It is obvious that Mr. Fudali is not trying to cooperate with the City in any way. The City Attorney said if some agreement cannot be reached on Friday, he would have to give up and go into litigation. MOTION by Councilman Mittelstadt to table this item to the Council Meeting o£ April lOth. Seconded by Council.man Breider. Upon a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously. REPO,RT TO CITY COUNCIL FROM THE "ISLAND OF PEACE" COMMITTEE: NLr. Elmer Olson, 5361 Horizon Drive N.E., introduced himself as the Chairman of the Island oP Peace Comma.ttee. He said he had two requests to make of the Council; the first, is to give the authority to develop Chase Island, and second, he presented a list of nine committee members iox Council consideration, and he ' would like the committee to be appointed by the Council so that this commattee can represent the City in the £urther development of the pro7ect. He saifl this pro7ect is quite well known, and was well covered through the news media, and would be the development of three islands in the Mississippi River for the use by handicapped, the public and students for nature studies. He then xead the committee members as follows: Elmer F. Olson, 5361 HoriZOn Drive - Chairman 560-5769 Linus B. Fritz, 6339 Van Buren N.E. - Treasurer 560-2616 Jack O. Kirkham, 430 67th Avenue N.E. - Secretary 560-3681 Ed Wilmes, 6350 Riverview Terrace (D.A.V.) 560-3011 R.F. Burton, 741 Pandora Drive 560-1626 Rev. M.G. Denyes, 7460 Van Buren 786-4216 Rev. E.A. Chmie.Zewski, St. Walliams Catholac Church 560-5600 Tony Olson, 5215 4th Street N.E. (V.F.W.) 560-4978 Henry S. Peterson, 6312 Pierce St. (Am. Leg.) 784-8804 Mr. Olson continued, the question has been raised, is this plan practical, con- sidering the fact that it is a flood plain? He said he had discussed this with the Corps of Engineers and read a portion of the letter from them indicating that this would be an appropriate use of a£lood plain area. He said as to the funding, that it would be 50% by Federal grant, 25o by the State and 25% by local donations. This brings them to the point where in order to go further with the funding arrangements, they must have the authority to ask £or funds, and they need recognition as some sort of o£ficial body. Throughout tlzeir diseussions wa.th the various service organizations their project has been received � enthusiastically. He said they had been advised that the Navy Seabees and the Minnesota Teen Corps would work with them. He said they had a target date of June 12th and he would appreciate a prompt response to their request from the Council. � _ �i 5f. REGULAR COi1NCIL MEETING OF APRIL 3, 1972 PAGE 5 � Mayor Liebl said that at this time Chase Island is park property, and he wanted it understood that the City has no funds for development, but he would have no objection to the committee proceeding to lay out what they want to do. What- ever the committee plans for the pro7ect will have to come back be£ore the Council for approval, they should also present their plans to the Parks and Recreation Commission. He said he would have no objection to appointing the people Mr. Olson mentioned who have worked so diligently on this pro�ect so far. I3e asked that it be kept in mind, as Mr. Wilmes pointed out, that the nature be undis- turbed as much as possible. There must be someone to maintain these islands, but there is no money in the budget for this use. If the "ISland of Peace Committee" is successful in getting this pro�ect off the ground, then the com- mittee must also have the authority to be sure they have the .funds for proper maintenance• Mr. Olson said that their committee is well aware the City has no funds available They are very optimistic that the 25o in donations will be forthcoming £rom the public and the sexvice organizations. He said they are also fully aware Chase Island is City property and before any detailed plans are implemented they would go through the City Engineer's of£ice. They will receive technical assistance from Camp Courage and the Society for the Bla.nd. He assured Mayor Liebl that the islands would be main�tained in a natural state Mr. 01son said the islands involved are; the small island,about 6 acres, north of Durnam Island that is uncharted, and will pass from the Federal Government to the ' State, then to Fridley, Durnam Island which is in the process o£ condemnation, and Chase Island which the City of Fridley owns, and which the committee would like authority to develop. Councilman Breider asked what the SOo Federal funding was. Mr. Olson said that was 50a both for acquisition and development. Councilman BXeider asked whose name would be used on the application for the grant and Ms. Olson said it would have to be a.n the name of the City of Fridley. Councilman Breider said that if the City of Frxdley bewmes party to requesting the SOo of the cost through Federal £unding, then they would be responsible for t7.�e local 25a if the com- mittee cannot raise the £unds. Councilman Breider wondered if Fridley had the legal right to be a party to developing property to be used by a group outside that governmental agency. In this case there would be a grant application £or 50o Prom the Federal Government, 25o fromthe State and 25% would be a local share. If Fridley authorized this endeavor, and i£ the committee is not success- ful in raising the 25%, wouldn't Fridley be responsible? These islands would be used by other agencies and other governmental units outside Fridley, so could tax payers' money be used? This would seem to be the first problem, the second would be the conta.nuous effort. After it is initially set up, there will be maintenance required and no one knows �ust what thzt would entail. The question then becomes, who would maintain this if the committee cannot raise enough money each year? I£ the City decides they cannot afford to tax people for the maintenance every year, it would die, so how is it to be perpetuated? The City Attorney said he wuld not answer these questions at this time, however, , the ownership of the property would have io remain with the City of Fridley, and it would have to be available to be used by the citizens of Friciley as park propexty. He said perhaps an arrangement could be worked out whex'eby there would be a written agreement between all the parties concerned on the financing and who is going to contribute how much. There should also be an operational and maintenance agreement stating who is going to operate the facilities and who is responsible £or the cost, 1 F '11 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETTNG OF APRIL 3� 1972 PAGE 6 Mr. Olson said that they do not at this point have detailed plans for the ' total improvement, but they do have a ball park £igure. E'irst they need some o.f£icial rewgmtion to obtain the 25o donations be£ore they approach the other agencies. The City Attorney inFormed Mr. Olson that to make an application, detailed plans are not needed, o�ily the concept. Mr. Olson said that the preluninary plans have been studied Uy the governmental agencies, and they are aware of the estimated figures. The City Attorney asked Mr. Olson, then he is asking the City to lend its municipal name to further negotiations? Mr. Olson replie$ yes. The City Attorney said he did not see that that would be putting the City in a difficult situation as long as negotiations are still proceeding. Mayor Liebl said he understood that Fridley was not going to be asked to contribute in any way in the 25o and Mr. Olson said no, they will raise the money. Councilman Breider said that he believed it would be impossible to make a grant application without going through this body and without a guarantee of the other 250. Mr. Olson said the 2S% would be from service organizations, but be£ore they make the donation, the wmmittee has to be recognized by the City and have some o£ficial standing. They have to have a name to put theix funds into. The City Attorney asked if they had submitted any papers to the State or Federal Govern- ment and Mx. Olson said no, they wanted to take one thing at a time, but a.£ they qot the go-ahead, it could be done in a£ew days. Mr. Sack Ka.rkham said that Councilman Breicler has raised some good points. He ' explained that so far they axe 7ust a small group of citizens with an idea and they speak with no authority. When they speak to the American Leqion or the V.F.W., they are interested, but are hesitant to give the money because they are �ust a group of people with no official standing, and in effect they would be giving tl7ezr money to nine men. He said they did not want to obligate the City, but what they want is some official recognitiQn. If they had this they could act as an official group and say "yes, the City owns Chase Island and we are a group of people putting plans together for the development of Chase Island." They could then move ahead towards getting commitments. The City Attorney suqgested they could be given a letter stating that this committee has come before the Council with their ideas, spell them out, and say that the Council is interested in getting mare in£orntation in regard to the amount o£ use the islands would be receiving, plans, development, and funding available, and this committee has been authorized to acquire this in- formation. The Council would not be wmmitting itself to any use or any plans or specifications until further authorization, and added that they could not ask the Council to give a blank check. Mr. Olson said that is all they need. People are very interested, they 7ust need a name. Councilman Mittelstadt said that he thought that the Council could recognize the nine man aommittee, and that a letter could be written under the hand of the Mayor as indicated by the City Attorney. He suggested that the committee could xeport to the Planning Commission and Councilman Utter acided also the Parks and Recreation Commission. MOTION by Councilman Breider to set up the "ISland o£ Peace Committee" as an ' advisory commrttee to the Council. He commented this has been done before on other issues, such as the liquor study. They are to report £inancial arrange- ments to the Council and the developmental plans are to be jointly with the Parks and Recreation Commission. Their duties, other than the development, � ' � REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 3, 1972 PAGE 7 would be to look into the questions he brought up earlier in the discussion. The nine members are to be as listed on the list submitted by Elmer Olson dated April 3, 1972 and designated "Exhibit A" with Elmer Olson Chairman. Seconded by Councilman Mittelstadt wa.th the addition �that the Treasurer, Linua Fritz and the Secretary, Jack Kirkham be nanted. Also with the request that minutes by kept and submitted to the Paxks and Recreation Commission and the Council. The City Manager suggested, that since the Council had previously directed the Crty AdministYation to work with Mr. Wilmes, that to continue the coordination on this pro�ect, Paul Brown, Director of Parks and Recreation, be named as an ex officio member. The Council agreed and Mr. Olson said this was a good idea. Councilman Mittelstadt commented �that he could see no reason for limiting the committee to nine. If there were more, they would include the ex o£ficio staff inembers. Mr. Ed Wilmes said that he would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to Gil Hodges. This country lost a good man and he said he had been his friend and has been a help to him. THE VOTE UPON THE MOTION, being a roll call vote, Breider, Liebl, Utter and Mittel5tadt voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously. OF CHANGES IN SCREENING SPECIFICATIONS AS REOUESTED BY TIIE CECO CORPORATION: ��cr The City Manager explained that the Ceco Corporation had their plans approved by the Building Standards - Design Control using one type of screening. The plans and specLfications included provisLOns for bidding two different types of screen walls. This would be facing Main Street N.E. When the bids came in there was quite a difference in cost. The plan approved was for using precast concrete panels, now they would like to use fluted split £ace concrete block. Since this is a change from what was originally approved, they £elt the Council should be made aware of the change. The Engineering Assistant passed a picture of the screening around to the Council, and said the screening wall would be 150 Peet of£ the Main Street right of way. Both would be for screening, the security would be the same, they would both be 8' high and painted white. The only di££erence is the way they look. Mayor Liebl asked if he was recommending approvaL The Engineering Assistant said they would bo�h serve the same purpose and are of equal quality, and would not make a great deal oP di£ference. MOTION by Councilman Mittelstadt to approve the request by Ceco Corporation for a change in the screen £ence as outlined in their letter dated March 28, 1972. Seconded by Councilman Breider.

MINNESOTA 554 The Engineering Assistant requested the Administrative Assistant to present the plans to the Council, as he had attended the meeting. The Administrative Assistant came forward and showed the plans at the easel and said that this building would be located on 73rd and Central where the exlsting American Legion is now. The Euilding Standards - Design Control recommended that the blacktopping be extended £urther back and that there be precast concrete curbs installed around the dock parking area so traffic would not be on the unpaved areas. There is to be poured concrete curbing along the sides. The Subcommittee felt there should be a more complete landscaping plan submitted and that there should be some provision for security lighting. There was a question raised in regard to the blacktop to be used in the dock area. The speci£ications will be checked to make sure it will not break up when used by the heavy trucks. MOTION by Councilman Uttex to concur with the Building Standards and approve the request to construct the of.fice, shop and warehouse building by Aetna .Lithograph Company sub7ect to the Subcommittee's stipulations. Seconded by Councilman Mittelstadt. ' Mayor Liebl said he would like to see more of a landscaping plan. Mr. Lance , Bartlett said that whatever is not blacktopped on the plans will be sodded.

(REQUEST BY PARK CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, 51 37TH AVENUE S1.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA 55421): The Administrative Assistant showed the plans on the easel and reported the Builda.ng Standards - Design Control recommended approval of the request. They made some stipulations a.n regard to a final landscaping plan and security lighting and they are included on the plans the Council has before them now. The applicant had not made the decision on what kind of exterior building material they wanted to use and were advised that they should be ready to present their exterior materials at the Council Meeting for approval. Mayor Liebl said he was glad to see they had included some security lighting. Mr. Dick Harris has a business in that area and there have been some problems wrth burglaries in this area so some lighting is very important. The Police Department is already over-burdened. Mr. Ron Krank commented that the suggestion for the securrty lighting was a good one, and they intended to light the building. He then showed the Council a � rendering depicting what the exterior building materials were going to be. Mayor Liebl asked what was their total investment. Mr. Krank replied about $30�,000 for about 5,00� squase feet of office space and 10,0�0 square £eet of service building. Councilman Breider asked what the parking lot in £ront would be used Por and the Administrative Assistant replied rt would be for employee and visitor parking. There will be a gravel sur£ace in the back £or the heavy equip- ment. The Engineering Assi5tant added that all the streets are 9 ton industrial street. IP, and when, 79th Avenue runs between East River Road and University Avenue, that would become their maa.n access. Counmlman Mittelstadt said that there were complaints about truck traPfic now from the north end of town The Engineering Assistant said that the area he is thinking of is further east in the vicinrty of Libexty and Longfellow. That area does not connect physically with this area. The access £or Onaway Addition would ]ae either 77th to East River Road or Main Street to Osborne Road. They have 20 acres and they plan on developing 6 acres o£ the first 10. Councilman Breider asked what they planned to do with the remaining 4 acres and Mr. Krank replied that they would use that for future expansion in the storage area. Later on, they may add another metal building for storage o£ parts and tires etc. and asked if they would have to come back for approval o£ that building. Mayor Liebl said yes, to the Building Standards - Design Control. Councilman Utter asked what type o£ fence they would be using. Mr. Krank replied that the decorative £ence would be wood and would not be used in the truck parking areas where it might be knocked down. He said they plan on using , a 2" mat with a 12" svb-base for the entrances. Councilman Breider asked if they would be storing gasoline and diesel £uel. Mr. Krank said yes, in the portion where there will be rock and it would be about 100 .feet from the building. �F � Y1 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 3, 1972 PAGE 10 Mayor Liebl said that the Council has been very strict in regard to landscaping ' and parking requirements in recent years, and he would like to urge Park Con- struction to live up to what they have presented to the Building Standards - Design Control Subcommittee. Nlr. Krank said that when talking in terms of trees, berms, landscaping etc., that is their business and they want their building to reflect the quality of their work. A gentleman at the Meeting associated with Park Constructzon Company added that when speaking o£ the fence, the wood £ence will cost more than a metal one, but they feel it will add more aesthetically. As to the metal fence, they had not intended to put the metal slats in the fencing on the north or west side, as it would serve no screening purpose. Councilman Utter asked if they would be storing anything outside of the .fence and the gentleman with Park replied no, everything will be inside the fence. They want to make this building so that people will be proud of a construction yard, and they want it to be a showplace in the area. He thought when they are completed, the Council wYll be pleased with it, and they felt it was a very nicely designed building. MOTION by Councilman Mittelstadt to approve the reque5t by Park Construction Company to construct an o££ice and sen�ice building, sub�ect to their exterior building material being what was presented to the Council this date, being stone aggregate and face brick on the office portion of the building and concrete block on the maintenance portion o£ the building, the secur�,ty lighting and that the final plans be approved by the Engineering Department.

Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unana.mously. The Engineexing Assistant explained that there is to be a single car gasage on one side o£ the double bungalow and a double car garage on the other side. The Code requires four parking spaces, therefore, the neighbors would like the fourth parking space in some inconspa.cuous place in the back yard. The side yard set- back would be 12.5 £eet. The variance is to reduce the required side yard £rom 17.5' to 12.5'. Councilman Breider asked if he meant that it would �ust be a piece oP pavement in the back yard and the Engineering Assistant replied yes. Councilman Breider said as a practical matter, the fourth parking stall would be in the driveway the same as for single £amily dwellings with a one car garage having two cars. The Engineering Assistant said that is probaUly the way it would work, however, to meet the Code, they must provide four parking stalls. He said that this area may become a place to park a boat, snowmobile etc. Mayor � Liebl commented that this looks like a good plan, they use brick =z way up the building. He agreed with the comment in the minutes, that he would hate to see a good plan sacrificed �ust because of a Pourth parking stall. MOTION by Councilman Breider to concur with the recommendation of the Board of Appeals and approve the request for a variance by .7ohn Christenson, sub�ect to the Board's stipulations. Seaonded by Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously. �� REGULBR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 3, 1972 PAGE 12 4.

(REQUEST BY BOB'S PRODUCE RP.NCH, 7620 UNIVERSITY AVENUE N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA): The Engineering Assistant reported this variance would enable an addition to an existing sign to be installed. This sa.gn would be similar to a"Twins-O-Gram", the message would be controlled £rom inside the building. It is recommended that the message not be changed oftener than once a day. The reason for the request is that the Shell Gas Station sign on the corner screens the Bob's Produce Ranch sign. The Board stipulated that Bob's Produce Ranch signs should be taken off the building, and there has been an agreement reached whereby Green Giant will also take down their signs. MOTION by Councilman Breider to concur with the recommendation o£ the Board of Appeals and approve the variance requested by Bob's Produce Ranch, sub�ect to the signs on the building for Bob's and Green Giant being taken of£ the walls of the bua.lding.

The Engineering Assistant reported that the bids received are 15% - 20% below the engineering estimate.

THE VOTE UPON THE MOTION, being a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously. WNSIDERATIDN OF REQUEST FOR "SLOW - CHILDREN PLAYING" SIGN AND POSSIBILITY OF LOWERING SPEED LIMIT ON IRONTON STREET: The City Manager said that in the past signs o£ this nature have been authorized to be installed at the expense of the citizens. Ironton Street is a 9 ton street and allows for truck travel. As to their request to lower the speed limit, that is set by the State and the City does not have 7urisdiction, so Fridley could only make the request. If the Council wishes, the sign could be authorized at the home owners' expense. ' MOTION by Councilman Mittelstadt to authorize the installation o£ a sign reading: "Slow - Children Playing" to be on Ironton Street at the home owners' expense. Seconded by Councilman Breider £or discussion. Councilman Breider said that he thought this same sign could be used in many other areas, and that he might be making the same request himself. He said he would like to have the fee waived. MOTION ANENDED by Councilman Breider to waive the $5.50 fee. The City Manager raised the question of the people that have already had the sign installed and have paid the fee. He asked if this was covered in any place by an ordinance or resolution. The Engineerinq Assistant said no, it has been Council policy. The reason these signs have to be authorized by Council is that it was felt there should be some control to avoid overuse. It has been found that if there are too many signs, the motorist tends to ignore them, even though each sign may have a valid reason for being there. Councilman Utter felt that there would be trouble in waiving the fee. He said he had made this request, and was told there was a$5.50 fee. Mayor Liebl said that he Pelt the Council should stick to the policy of the past, or there will be many such requests. He asked Councilman Breider to withdraw his amendment and Councilman Breider said no, he did not agree. The City Manager said the Administration feels this sign is of lunited value, and that it is not worth it to expend City funds. This is an optional type of sign and if it was a neoessary sign, it , would be a City expense. Mayor Liebl said that whether they pay for it directly or not, it is still the tax payer that pays, but if they had to pay For the sign directly, it may discourage too many signs. If there are too many signs, they will be disregarded and the purpose would be destroyed. Councilman Breider asked what signs the home owner pays for. The Engineering Asst. said that this is the only one he could recall, with the exception of a"No Dumping" sign. �) � ' ' REGULAR COUNCIL NIEETING OF APRiL 3, 1972 AMFNDMENT WITHDRAWN by Councilman Breider.

Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, a1Z votsng aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously. Mayor Liebl said that Councilman Utter has brought to his attention that there have been a dozen or so applications £or liquor licenses. He noticed Mr. Weiss of Sandee's in the audience and told him that the Council has discussed his appli- cation in the past. He said Mr. Weiss has contributed a great deal to the City of Fridley, and if anyone is eligible, Mr. Weiss would be. FIe said that this item should be put on the Agenda for April lOth along with a report from the staff. I3e would want to make certaa.n that the applicants consadered would meet , all the criteria set out in the ordinance. He mentioned Mr. Weiss has paid the $4,000 about a year ago and should be entitled to some sort of a decision. MOTION by Councilman Mittelstadt to instruct that the consideration of liquor license applications be placed on the Apr�l lOth Agenda, along with a report from the Staff on the applicants to avoid any accusations that the Council is acting arbitrarily. The motion was seconded. Mayor Liebl sazd that Mr. Weiss' application for a liquor license seems a reasonable request and he thought it should be considered one o£ the first, however, the legal procedure must be gone through that is spelled out in the ordinance. Councilman Breider said that he did not want Mr. Weiss to leave the Meeting thinking he was assured of getting his license. It takes three members of the Counczl to grant a liquor license and be£ore considering any individual appli- cations he would like to have all the applications before him and have them all checked out to see if they can meet the criterza. Mayor La.ebl said this was the intent of Councilman Mittelstadt's motion. He added that as Mr. Weiss has been kept waiting so long, he felt that he was entitled to an answer. Councilman Mittelstadt said that all applications with the accompanying check £or $4,000 should be considered. The City Attorney said that the Staf£ could in- clude in their report how many complete applications have been submitted, how many partials and how many letters of interest have been received. The City Manager added that he has had numerous inquiries into when the Council will be considering this and he felt an obligation to let these people know and suggested two weeks rather than one. Councilman Mittelstadt commented that the applicants would be interested enough to get their applications in in one week. The Finance Director said that in some cases he had in£ormed interested parties that it would not be necessary to pay the money at this time, and that � �� REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 3� 1972 PAGE 25 , they could do that later, when the Council is ready to consider the appli- cations. Councilman Mittelstadt said that if these people were noti£ied, he was sure they would be down to City Hall to pay their money immediately.
