The City Manager explained ti�at in September of 1974, the Council had directed the City to send letters to surrounding communities to get their input as to their feelings toward a National Guard Armory. He stated there was a total of 60 organizations contacted, and in return received 14 responses - 8 had no commitment, 3 were for the Armory, and 3 were against. ;layor Nee said it was his understanding that the City of Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center were opp�sed to the idea. He questioned whether Coon Rapids had been sent an inquiry. The C�ity Manager said all surrounding communities had been contacted; Coon Rapids, Bla�ne, Spring Lake Park, Mounds View, idew Brighton. Mayor Nee read aloud the first paragraph of the letter that�had been sent out to the surrounding comnunities presented by the City Manager. Mayor Nee asked if any of the Council members wanted to speak on this matter. Councilman Starwalt said it may be a good idea to ask Mr. Cheeseman to speak on joint activity with other communities. Mr. Cheeseman addressed ihe Council and stated they certainly were not against it, but he felt communities could handle one alone. Kir. Nick Garaffa stated he was against the Armory. He felt.the City should look at projects that would benefit all the people. Ne stated there were only twenty or thirty local people who would join the Guard and the only people to benefit from it would be the adjacent businesses. Ne directly asked the Council members nut to vote' the Armory in. ile was disappoinied with the idea of even bringing up the Armory again. Mr. Jack Kirkham, 430 b7th Avenue NE, representing the �edeemer Lutheran Church, read aloud a resolution passed at their January 20, 1975 meeting, which stated that the tornado and flood emergencies of 1965 dem��nstrated the community need for buildings such as churches, schools, and armory to serve as emergency headquarters. He stated that the Redeemer Luthcran Church congregation recognizes and appreciates the assistance and protection rendered by the National Guard during times of emergency. It was resolved that the Redeemer Lutheran Church congregation supports tiie building of a Nationa] Guard Armory in Fridley. Mr..Peter Treuenfels, 5460 7th Street NE, said he was present as a representative for the DFL Club of Fridley. He said he wou7d like to bring out two points, one being the exact cost of the Armory, Ile felt the people had the right to know exactly what it is going to cost. He said there is quite a difference between $75,000 and $162,000. He said it had been mentioned that the National Guard Armory could be used as a dance hall, he felt this was fine but if that be the case, why not build a dance hall or youth center, not an Armory. Mr. 7reuenfels said the DFL Club was opposed to the construction of a National Guard Armory in Fridley. `�` _ _ __ _ _ __ _ _ _ _. _._ _ . _ 283 PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 1975 PAGE 2 Mayor Nee asked if there were any comments from the public. Mr. Kenneth Sporre, 301 Ironton St., addressed the Council and stated his feeling that the schools could better be utilized to obtain the most of the people's tax money. He suggested using the school facilities that are avai]able and sitting idle at some hours. He also suggested that the Council take a second look at the cost factors. t;e indicated not all the people were against an Armory, they were just against the Armory being located in Fridley. Ile suggested the possibility of using the Twin City Arsenal property for such an Armory. Mayor Nee indicated there had been some discussion on the possibility of locating the Armory on other sites with others participating in the project. iie indicated the response to this aspect of the question had been negative.' Mr. Virgil Herrick, City Attorney, said the City Attorney from Columbia Heights was present to speak on the matter. iir. Roland Kalina, Culumbia Heights' City Attorney, explained he was present on behalf of the Columbia Neights City Council. (�r. Dennis Schneider, 6190 Stinson Boulevard, commented he had seen a program broadcast by General Television in which the students at Fridley High School were interviewed about their school and City. i�e informed th� Council that during this program, the main concern by the young people was that there was nothing for them to do in the City. i�ir. Schneider continued to state that under the current financial situation, he was against anything that would involve the taxpayer's money. He asked the City Council to consider a youth center or a swimming pool., or something that would be available for the people all of the time. Councilman Starwalt asked what would be the next logical step in this consideration. Mayor Nee said it was his understanding that the decision process would be next. He said if this is looked at favorably, this would mean the signing of a lease or the adoption of the resolution. Councilwoman Kukowski said it was her understanding that the City had only looked at one site. She asked if the City had looked into the feasibility of the Arsenal property being used. The Public Works Director, Mr. Dick Sobiech, said the City had reviewed all City owned sites in Fridley. lie also stated they had reviewed sites outside the City with negative response. Mayor Nee explained that during the last election campaign in November, i�e had tried to find out the public's feeling on the proposal of the Armory being located in Fridley. He commented that a survey was taken and of those people who had strong feelings on the construction of an Armory, the vote was four to one, opposing. r;e added, most of the people did not have strong feelings concer!�ing the question. i•1ayor Nee said he felt there was very little public demand for the Armary. Mr. diTl Driggans, 1280 HatMaway Lane N. E., addressed the Council and stated he was a member of the Planning Commission and on January 22 the Planning Commission had discussed the proposal of the Armory. 1le stated there is no facilities for the youth of the City and suggested �he consideration of a joint building structur� that could be used by the youth of the community, the corr�nunity as a whole, and also in conjunction with an Armory. He felt this proposal with joint funding should be investigated, i•1r. Driggans felt this sf;ould be ccr:sidered and referred back to the Planning Commission for consideration on the funding aspects. He thought.the costs should be compared with the question being answered on how much the City would have to contribute in this type of youth center. Piayor Nee replied that this had been explored and the National Guard was quite concise as to what they will finance. Mayor Nee said one problem is the cost of the land, presently being $50,000 with- out assessments. He commented this is a very expensive proposition. He stated if the City wanted a youth center, this must be solely funded by the City. MOTION by Councilwoman Kukowski to close the Public Hearing. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the Public Hearing closed at 8:00 P.M. Mayor Nee said this proposal will be on the february 24, 1975 Council agenda for consideration. ULD BUSINESS: PROPOSAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF NORTH PARK AS A NATURE CENTER AS DIRECTED BY RESOLUT'ION N. 126-1974 FROM MEETING OF N�VEMBER 18, 1974 : i+ND . � 3 € •. ' i . - . PUBlI6 HEARING MEETING OF FESRUARY 10, ]975 PAGE 3 ' RECEIVING RESOLUTION AND OTH�R PERTINENT MATERIAL FROM SPRING BROOK PARK NATURE ENTER FOUNDATION: ' Mayor Nee said the Council was furnished with two proposals, one from the City Naturalist/Resource Coordinator, Mr. Dan Huff, and one from the Spring Brook Park Nature Center Foundation. Mayor Nee asked Mr. Huff to come forward and make a presertation. � , � � ;__J � 1 � , � ' ' The Naturalist/Resource Coordinator address2d the Ccuncil and summarized the City's consideration to hir•e a Naturalist and listed when this action had been taken. He also recalled that at the public referendum in November, it was decided that North Park be developed as a nature center. He indicated that the Spring Brook Nature Center Foundation feels that they should operate the nature center independenly through a lease agreement with the City. I�1r. Huff said it was his recommendation that the City work cooperatively with the Foundation according to an agreement such as that on Appendix G of the Council agenda. Pir. Huff pointed out the various funding shares within the LAWCON Application to have been amended as follows: $275,000, the Federal share, $71,500, the State share, and $10i,750, the City`s share. He mentioned that future funding possibilities may include private contributions, State and Federal grants, and "user" fees from the various school districts. The Naturalist/Resource Coordinator said a survey on the use of the Park had beer `aken taith the Fridley DFL, VFW, City of Coon Rapids, 3oy Scouts and the area scnool Districts favoring the development of the nature center, ile thought the City should be used as a vehicle to obtain additional grants through public funding. He pointed out that the City would provide police and fire protection. ��1r. Huff said he had previously established a working relationship with the schooi districts and also with the officials and staff of Anoka County. ile indicated there may be some problems in the City obtaining funding with the lease, but said there wouid be no hindrance at aii to the Foundation's reaching their goals with the cooperative agreement with the City. He said he expected the LAWCON funding �pplication to be redone and approved through the granting agencies. Mr. 'rluff presented information on the basic costs of a Nature Center Program and mentioned if a joint venture is desired, the City must decide what type of cooper- ative agreement shoald be offered. Mr. Huff questioned the amount of personr�el the City would provide and what level of development should be guaranteed. Councilman Breider questioned the expenditure of $100,000 and asked if this was for the fencing. Mr. Nuff exp]ained that they had reviewed the fencing along with other alternatives for the 9,115 perimeter. He said this price indicated the cost of a six foot chain link fence without gates or corner posts. Counci]man Breider asked where the price had been obtained from and the Pub7ic Works Director replied that this was through the Midwest Crown Iron Works Company. Counc9lman Starwalt questioned the statement that the gates and corner posts a�ere not included and indicated he thought that this type of item would be what ran up the bil7. Mr. Huff indicated that the fencing could be bid out for a more competitive price. f,iayor Nee asked if the fencing would be professional installed and Mr. Huff said yes. Mr. Fluff continued to explain that this would provide the park with protection from snowmobiles,trail bikes and even horses. The question. of wnether or not it would be possible to have volunteer help work on the installation of the fencing and the City P1anager indicated the cost would be substantially reduced if there were volunteer help utilized. . f4ayor Nee referred to the amount of the total interpretation budget for the year 1975 and said he thought this was �91,000. Mr. I{uff said this was the total requested budget, but this had been reduced to $47,000 with $15,000 for the tree disease program and $31,000 For the nature interpretive program. Mr. �1uff expressed the opinion that if North Park were to be developed as a nature center in cooperation with the Foundation, funds would be reallocated. i�layor Nee said he did not get the feeling that tMe Foundation wouTd accept a cooperative agreement. Counciiman Starwait questioned the number of people present from the Foundation who would be making the presentation to the Council. Dr. Richard Trezona, Chairman of the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation, approached the Council and congratulated Mr. Huff on his presentation. Dr. Trezona clearly stated that the Foundation did not care if they had a iease or not, they did want an agreement with the City so the Foundation could take part in the development of North Park. Dr. Trezona said he would like the Fridley City Councii to have the ultimate say in the pTans for the development of North Park. Dr. Trezona read aloud a letter of January 28, 1 � 1915 in which the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation was requesting permission from the City Council to develop and operate a nature center in North Park. Dr. �-----_—_----_. � . ; I�\ � PUBLIC NEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 1975 PAGE 4 Trezona expressed his feeling that it was very important to develop North Park without costs being paid by the taxpayers bacause the people were told that this ared would be developed with no cost to them. He said the idea of the �'oundation would be to obtain the funding and then pay the bills. He added, in the cases where the City would be used as a vehicle in the funding areas, the City would be reimbursed for the expenses involved. ?q� Dr. Trezona said the Foundation would like to use the City's clerical help by running the Foundation's payroll through the City to take care of the insurance, tax deductions, and pensions, etc. Dr. Trezor.a referred to the letter of February 4 and explained that the following data contained in the letter was a summarization of committee reports from members. One of the plans was the concept of education and recreation for children, students, and professional participants. Dr. Trezona said the nature center would be developed in line with the usage and also the possibility of what the center could become in the future. He said the cost could be extensive or minimal. Dr. Trezona said in discussions with various architects from the University of Minnesota, there was a wide variety of conclusions. tie felt the nature center could and would be unique. Dr. Trezona pointed out that the finance committee had adopted goals for fund raising for the first year. Dr. Trezona emphasized that the _ center would be a new thing and mentioned the new concept ir the construction of the e self sustaining type of building as far as sewer, water, etc. iie mentioned that the Foundation was very energy conscience and hoped to construct this type of a facility. , Ur. Trezona mentioned the aspect of the center being an educational tool and doubted Whether the City would want to get into the education business. He mentioned ihe involvement of the school districts in the program and suggested a time table and schedule be set up to enable the various school districts to determine their needs. t!e expressed the hope that the school districts would become involved in the funding of the nature center after the needs are established. Ne mentioned ' he had not discussed this with all of the school districts. Dr. Trezona continued to explain that the Foundation would like to have a close working relationship and cooperation with all governmental bodies. He felt there should be a liaison between the Foundation and the City. �r. Trezona further commented that the Foundatian is a non-partisan, non-political organization and the Foundation is ready to cooperate with the City. Dr. 7rezona presented two structural charts to the Caur�cil on tt�e screen which illustrated the organizational structure of the program. He said all major decisions would be channeled through the City Council. ur. Trezona referred to the second organizational structure indicating the Fridley City Council would be at the top of the organization. tie stated the nature center director would be doing the managing and working with the Springbrook Park Nature Center. In addition, there would be employees and volunteers, participating school districts, and varinus arganizations, The bottom part of the chart outlined the origin of funds and " service. Dr. Trezona stated that Dr. Walter Breckenridge from the University of Minnesota asked that Dr. Trezona bring up some comments at the current meeting. Dr. Trezona mentioned Dr. Breckenridge's concern of the restoration of the area. Dr. Trezona said he wisFjed..to thank various people who were.serving or wil1ing to serve on the Foundation; Dr. Harrison, a volunteer; Mark Noble, student of botany; Mr. Winston Worden; �dei1 Christensen, student; Lyle Bt°ac:ley, science chairman; Dr. Dennis Holloway, Architect from the University of Plinnesota; �-ir. Donald Lawrence, Professor of Botany at the University of Minnesota; i�tr. John Meyers, a consulting Engineer and school Board member of District #14; and William Pieper, banker. He mentioned Mr. Pieper had an extensive listing of siahtinos of birds in North Park. Dr. Trezona also thanked Mr. David Schaaf, State Senator, i��rs. Jan Seegar, +nember of the North Park ad hoc Committee; Dr. Tordoff, Jack Velin, Mrs. LeeAnn Sporre, secretary, and Mr. Don Savelkoul, legal advisor. Dr. Trezona explained through the help of Mr. Savelkoul, the Foundation had received IRS status. Dr. Trezona also pointed that there are seminars on fund raising for such projects conducted and the instructors are at the City's disposal. He emphasized that the Foundation and the Ci�y would have to cooperate in the success- ful execution of the plan. Dr. Trezona said he would be happy to answer any questions. Councilman Starwalt asked Dr. Trezona if he wanted the employees of the Foundation to be City employees receiving full benefits, but yet reimbursed by the Foundation? Councilman Starwalt asked if this was possible,had it been checked into? He asked why Dr. Trezona thought that this action would be an advantage to the Foundation. Dr. Trezona replied that in the early stages tfiey would not have the structure 'i ( __J �■ ; 286 , i ' ' ' � � , ' � IJ � � � PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 1975 PAGE 5 in their organization for withholding taxes, or a retirement benefit program, or an insurance program.� fle suggested a method be worked out through the legal department so that the Foundation employees salaries could be paid by the City. He said he was not sure if this would be feasible, but felt it would be more simply done through the City. Ur. Trezona said he was not asking that the Foundation personnel be City employees per se, he would just request that the accounting be handled through the City. The City would be reimbursed forthe use of the clerical help in the bookkeeping departmen+.. Councilwoman Kukwoski asked if the Foundation's program included the City Naturalist? Dr. Trezona said the program will have a nature center director. Dr. Trezana said it did not include the Gity's fdaturalist. Councilwoman Kukowski said that Mr. Dan Huff had been hired by the Council, and the he vaas over qualified for the remaining programs if North Park is iurned over to the Foundation. Dr. Trezona explained he had no objections to havinc� Mr. Huff work for them. Councilwoman Kukowski asked if the Coucil would have any input on hiring a director? Dr. Trezona said Council would have the final word. Counci7man Fitzpatrick said that the Council had not heard the proposal or the �ease agreement. Dr. Trezona said thelease agreement was strictly proposal. Dr. Trezona read aloud part of the lease agreement to the audience. He stated that Dr. Breckenridge's remark referred to numbers four and five in the lease agreement. he also added that the City would provide police and fire protection. Dr. Trezona referred to page 2-II of the Council agenda and said this may be somewhat ambiguous, but this could be modified. Councilman Breider said there seemed to be some concern by Dr. Trezona about using the naturalist. Dr. Trezona stated that the Foundation did not want a City employee directing the nature center, there would be too much conflict of interest. Cr. Trezona said he had no personal feeling about 41r. Nuff. Councilman Breider said it was his understanding that the naturalist should not be a liaison. Dr. Trezona said the Foundation and the City Council should have a person they can work through, possibly the City Manager. Mayor Nee clarified the matter stating it would not be the Naturalist. t�e suggested someone serve as a liaison, but he questioned the cost. Councilwoman Kukowski questioned the City Manager asking if the City had a lease agreement with the Islands of Peace and if the rentai fee of this lease agreement would be �1 per year. The City P1anager said yes, it has a lease agreement in this amount. Dr. Trezona said that he had mentioned the use of LA4ICON Funds stating the previous idea had been that this area VJdS going to be a golf course, now, it has been determined it would be a nature center. He thought a nature center is more qualified for LAWCON funds than a golf course, therefore it may be more eligible. He thought that there could be contractual arrangements for the Foundation to manage the nature center allowing for the acquisition of funds. He did not think there would be a conflict of interest with the State Planning Agency. He added, i�e had letters to confirm this point. • , Mrs. Shirley Galdwel1,�5874 Hackmann Avenue, expressed her feelings and said her husband would have been very impressed with some of the Foundation's ideas. She presented a donation to the Foundation. Dr. Trezona expressed his gratitude and mentioned that the Caldwell family had asked that memorial contributions be given to the individual's favorite charity, and many people had chosen the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation. I I , � I� Dr. Trezona referred to the construction of structures in North Park and suggested that a log cabin style building would be large enough for an office and could also house a few supplies. Dr. Trezona suggested that this type of structure would be suitab7e for a few years. Possibly, it could be turned into a bicentennial cabin with a little stockade, fence and a garden plot. He said he had spoken to suppliers of White Cedar Logs> and they stated the Foundation could purchase the logs•at the same price that they were three years ago. Dr. Trezona said he would very much appreciate taking some sort of affirmative arrangement back to the Foundation. He requested that the City's legal people work with the Foundation and come up with a satisfactory agreement. ; L— _ ___ , il�� 2�7 PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY i0, 1975 PAGE 6 Mayor Nee said the element that seem ed to be lacking in the proposed agreement is the responsibility of the Foundation. Mr. Ken Sporre, Secretary of the Fridley Jaycees, addressed the Council and asked to read a letter prepared at the Jaycees meeting of January 4, 1975. He explained that the Fridley Jaycee's voted unanimously in support of the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation being authorized to operate the nature center with funding and rr�npower. �4ayor Nee said the recent election showed quite a definity of judgement by the people favoring North Park development as a nature center in excess of two to one. He said it was proposed that the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation be allowed to do the job and there was no proposal that the City do it. Mayor Nee said there were approximately ten or twelve pieces of literature that made this type.of statement. Thousands of people were told that the issue was between a golf course deve]oped by the City and a nature center to be developed by the Foundation. The public had made a very d ear judgement at the referendum and Mayor Nee stated he hoped the Council would respond to the decision by the people. Mayor Nee said it would be in order to direct the City Attorney to draw up some documents which would describe an agreement with the Foundation. MOTION by Councilwoman Kukowski that the City Council direct the City Attorney to work with the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation in dr�•ing up an agreement to be considered by the Council.

Attorney. said he had no problem with the City's agreement with the nature by the Foundation, but he had some trouble clarifying the lines He felt the Council should indicate a direction to the City The City Attarney said the duties of the Foundation should 6e included and set forth in the agreement along ��ith the duties of the City. He stated that it would be difficult to draft an agreement unless he knew which way the majority of the Council wanted to go in the responsibilities of both� oarties. He asked if the City will provide the director, or would the Foundation? He said these questions would have to be answered so a draft could be prepared for the agreement. Councilwoman Kukowski said she would like to clariry her motion. She stated she was going along Springbrook Nature Center Foundation's recommendation as clarified. ' She said she discovered she did not like the way it was worded, but understood r.ow that the City would be compensated. She agreed with the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation in that this could be taken care of by the City Manager. Councilman Fitzpatrick said in speaking to Councilwoman Kuk ski's motion, he thought that following the election the obligation given to the Springbrook Nature Center foundation was to raise funds. As Councilman Fitzpatrick saw it, Council- woman Kukowski's motion is to provide for this. Mayor Nee asked if there was any further comments on the motion. The City Attorney said these agreements are drawn in general terms. He questioned as to what type of an agreement the Council would like to see. Councilman Starwalt said this was outlined in 2-S, 2-T and 2-U of the Council agenda with the exception of Item 4. The City Attorney said he would review both agreements and draft an agreement. The City Manager said he would like to bring out one point in the commitment agreement with the Foundation that any services they desire from the City will be reimbursed. He said there may be a letter of�understanding listing a number of items.

He mentioned he thought it would be worth asking for some assistance. tie read aloud a letter he had received from the National League oP Cities. he said that whether the City pays for part of the trip oP not, he will still participate in the tour. Council- man Starwalt said if he was not fully interested in this, i�e would not have made a reservation. He felt this trip would have some advantages to the City in that he would be learning something. He added, if he did feel this way, he would not be asking for the funds. ' Mr. Dennis Schneider addressed the Council and asked if he could make a few comments. He said his comments were not directly related to this one trip, but with funding of all City trips. He said he would like to see ihe City Council adopt some sort of policy, he felt there should be equal representation for both sexes, since men seem ' to go on business trips and women stay in ihe office. He said if there are things to be learned, the }�.blic should fi nd out, and there should be a report back to the Councii and back to the public as to what �rJas learned on these trips. Mr. �chneider thought that there should be some policy decision. � ' � � '. � . Ii I 1� I s f•layor Nee commented that in most cases, a report is made after the trip. He stated that the City has sent officials to National Conferences and they report hack to the Council. Mayor Nee said he was not sure of any defined policy. Councilman Fitzpatrick asked how often Councilmen go on trips? He asked if total expenses were paid and to what degree. The City Manager said that generally, members of the City Council attend local or state meetings. Not all City Council members , have attended local meetings, but one or two have, and they bring back information that is shared by the other members. He explained the City Council authorizes the money beforehand, and there are funds allotted in the budget for this type of trip. l;ouncilman Fitzpatrick asked how much expense is paid.

PUBLIC HEARING: PUBLIC HEARING ON CONSIDERATION OF A PROPOSAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY IN THE CITY OF FRIDLEY (TABLED NOVEMBER 18, 1974): i•tayor Nee declared the Public Hearing open at 7:33 P.�-1. The City Manager explained that in September of 1974, the Council had directed the City to send letters to surrounding communities to get their input as to their feelings toward a National Guard Armory. He stated there was a total of 60 organizations contacted, and in return received 74 responses - 8 had no commitment, 3 were for the Armory, and 3 were against. ;tayor Nee said it was his understanding that the City of Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center were oppused to the idea. Ne questioned whether Coon Rapids had been sent an inquiry. The City Manager said all surrounding communities had been contacted; Coon Rapids, Blaine, Spring Lake Park, Mounds View, iJew Brighton. Mayor Nee read a]oud the first paragraph of the letter that had been sent out to the surrounding comnunities presented by the City Manager. Mayor Nee asked if any of the Councii members wanted to speak on this matter. Councilman Starwalt said it may be a good idea to ask Mr. Cheeseman to speak an joint activity with other communities. Mr. Cheeseman addressed the Council and stated they certainly were not against it, but he felt commun9ties could handle one alone. Mr. Nick Garaffa stated he was against the Armory. He felt the City should look at projects that would benefit all the people. He stated there were only twenty or thirty local people who would join the Guard and the only people to benefit from it would be the adjacen� businesses: He directly asked the Council members nut to vote the Armory in. ile was disappointed with the idea of even bringing up the Armory again. ! Mr. Jack Kirkham, 430 67th Avenue NE, representing the Redeemer Lutheran Church, read ' i aloud a resolution passed at their January 20, 7975 meeting, which stated that the tornado and flood emergencies of 1965 demanstrated the community need for buildings i such as churches, schools, and armory to serve as emergency headquarters. He stated i that the Redeemer Lutheran Church congregation recognizes and appreciates the assistance i and protection rendered by the National Guard during times of emergency. It was � i resolved that the Redeemer Lutheran Church congregation supports the building of a ; National Guard Armory in Fridley. ' i Mr. Peter Treuenfels, 5460 7th Street NE, said he was present as a representative , . 1 for the DFL C1ub of Fridley. He said he would like to bring out two points, one being the exact cost of the A�mory, he felt the people had the right to know exactly i what it is going to cost. He said there is quiie a difference between $75,000 and I $162,000. He said it had been mentioned that the National Guard Armory could be ' � used as a dance hall, he felt this was fine but if that be the case, why not build ( a dance hall or youth center, not an Armory. Mr. Treuenfels said the DFL Club was opposed to the construction of a National Guard Armory in Fridley. '� � . 1 283 PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 1975 PAGE 2 Mayor Nee asked if there were any comments from the public. Mr. Kenneth Sporre, 301 Ironton St., addressed the Council and stated his feeiing that the schools could better be utilized to obtain the most of the people's tax money. He suggested using the school facilities that are available and sitting idle at some hours. He also suggested that the Council take a second look at the cost factors. tie indicated not all the people were against an Armory, they were just against the Ar�ry being located in Fridley. He suggested the possibility of using the Twin City Arsenal property for such an Armory. Mayor Nee indicated there had been some discwssion on the possibility of locating the Armory on other sites with others participating in the project. He indicated the response to this aspect of the question had been negative. Mr. Virgil Nerrick, City Attorney, said the City Attorney from Columbia Heights was present to speak on the matter. f�ir. Roland Kalina, Culumbia Heights' City Attorney, explained he was present on behalf of the Columbia Heights City Council. (�r. Dennis Schneider, 6190 Stinson BouTevard, commented he had seen a program broadeast by General Television in which the st �ients at Fridley High School were interviewed about their school and City. He in.�rmed the Council that during this program, the main concern by the young people was that there was nothing for them to do in the City. i�ir. Schneider continued to state that under the current financial situation, I�e was against anything that would involve the taxpayer's money. He asked the City Council to consider a youth center or a swimming pool., or something that would be available for the people all of the time. Councilroan Starwalt asked what would be the next logical step in this consideration. Mayor Nee said it was his understanding that the decision process would be next, He said if this is looked at favorably, this would mean the signing of a lease or the adoption of the resolution. Councilwoman Kukowski said it was her understanding that the City had only looked at one site. She asked if the City had looked into the feasibility of the Arsenal property being used. The Public Works Director, Mr. Dick Sobiech, said the City had reviewed all City owned sites in Fridley. He also stated they had reviewed sites outside the City with negative response. Maypr Nee explained that during the last election campaign in November, he had tried to find out the public's feeling on the proposal of the Armory being located in Fridley. He commented that a survey was taken and of those people who had strong feelings on the construction of an Armnry, the vote was four to one, opposing. He added, most of the people did not have strong feelings concerning the question. i•layor Nee said he felt there was very little public demand for the Armory. Mr. trill Driggans, 1280 Hathaway Lane N. E., addressed the Council and siated he was a member of the Planning Commission and on January 22 the Planning Commission had ; discussed the proposal of the Armory. iie stated there is no facilities for the youth of the City and suggested the consideration of a joint building structure � that could be used by the youth of the community, the community as a whole, and also � in conjunction with an Armory. He felt this proposal with joint funding should be investigated. iir. Driggans felt this sl;ou�c! t.e ccr:sidered and referred back to the Planning Commission for consideration on the funding aspects. He thought the costs should be compared with the question being answered on how much the City would have to contribute in this type of youth center. Playor Nee replied that this had been explored and the National Guard was quite concise as to what they will finance. Mayor Nee said one problem is the cost of the land, presently being $50,OOQ with- � out assessments. Fle commented this is a very expensive proposition. He stated if the City wanted a youth center, this must be solely funded by the City. , � ! `'`--`. MOTION by Councilwoman Kukowski to close the Public Hearing. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unani�usly and the Public Hearing closed at 8:00 P.M. Mayor Nee said this proposal will be on the February 24, 1975 Council agenda for consideration. ULD BUSINESS: PROPOSAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF NORTH PARK AS A NATURE CENTER AS DIRECTED BY RESOLUTION N0. 126-1974 FROM MEETING OF N(3VFMBER 18, 7974 : HND , ' � � � � ' � ' 284 . PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 1975 PAGE 3 i RECEIVING RESOLUTION AND OTHER PERTINENT MATERIAL FROM SPRING BROOK PARK NATURE CENTER FO N ATION: ' Mayor Nee said the Council was furnished with two proposals, one from the City Naturalist/Resource Coordinator, Mr. Dan Huff, and one from the Spring Brook Park ' Nature Center Foundation. Mayor Nee asked Mr. Huff to come forward and make a presentation. The Naturalist/Resource Coordinator addressed the Ccuncil and summarized the City's consideration to hire a Naturalist and listed when this action had been taken. He also recalled that at the public referendum in November, it was decided that North Park be developed as a nature center. He indicated that the Spring Brook Nature Center Foundation feels that they should operate the nature center independenly through a lease agreement with the City. hir. Nuff said it was his recommendation that the City work cooperatively with the Foundation according to an agreement such as that on Appendix G of the Council agenda. P�ir. Huff pointed out the various funding shares within the LAWCON Application to have been amended as follows: $275,000, the Federal share, $71,500, the State share, and $101,750, the City's share. He mentioned that future funding possibilities may include private contributions, State and Federal grants, .ind "user" fees from the various school districts. The Naturalist/Resource Coordinator said a survey on the use of the Park had been taken with the Fridley ; DFL, VFW, City of Coon Rapids, t3oy Scouts and the area school Districts favoring the development of the nature center. Ile thought the City should be used as a vehicle to obtain additional grants through public funding. He pointed out that the City would provide police and fire protection. �4r. Huff said he had previously established a working relationship with the school districts and also with the officials and staff of Anoka County. Fle indicated there may be some problems in the City obtaining funding with the lease, but said there would be no hindrance at all to the Foundation's reaching their goals with the cooperative agreement with the City. He said he expected ' the LAWCON funding application to be redone and approved through the granting agencies. � ' Mr. Huff presented information on the basic costs of a Nature Center Program and mentioned if a joint venture is desired, the City must decide what type of cooper- ative agreement should be offered. Mr. Huff questioned the amount of personnel - the City would provide and what level of development should be guaranteed. � 1 � � � Councilman Breider questioned the expenditure of $100,000 and asked if this was for the fencing. P�Ir. Huff explained that they had reviewed the fencing along with other alternatives for the 9,115 perimeter. He said this price indicated the cost of a six foot chain link fence without gates or corner posts. Councilman Breider asked where the price had been obtained from and the Public Works Director replied that this was through the Midwest Crown Iron Works Company. Councilman Starwalt questioned the statement that the gates and corner posts were not included and indicated he thought that this type of item would be what ran up the bill. Mr. Huff indicated that the fencing could be bid out for a more competitive price. f�iayor Nee asked if the fencing would be professional installed and Mr. Huff said yes. Mr. tluff continued to explain that this would provide the park with protection from snowmobiles,trail bikes and even horses. The question of whether or not it would be possible to have volunteer help work on the installation of the fencing and the City P1anager indicated the cost would be substantially reduced if there were volunteer help utilized. t�layor Nee referred to the amount of the total interpretation budget for the year 1975 and said he thought this was $91,000. Mr. Huff said this was the total requested budget, but this had been reduced to $47,000 with $15,000 for the tree disease program and $31,000 for the nature interpretive program. Mr. lluff expressed the opinion that if North Park were to be developed as a nature center in cooperation with the Foundation, funds would be reallocated. blayor Nee said he did not get the feeling that the Foundation would accept a cooperative agreement. , Councilman Starwalt questioned the number of people present from the Foundation who would be making the presentation to the Council. Dr. Richard Trezona, Chairman � � of the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation, approached the Counci7 and congratulated Mr. Huff on his presentation. Dr. Trezona clearly stated that the Foundation did not care if they had a lease or not, they did want an agreement with the City so the Foundation could take part in the development of North Park. Dr. Trezona � said he would like the fridley City Council to have the ultimate say in ti�e plans for the development of North Park. Dr. Trezona read aloud a letter of January 28, 1975 in which the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation was requesting permission ; from the City Council to develop and operate a nature center in North Park. Dr. i � I � ; � _ . _ _ _ _. _ _ _ _ __ _ _.___._-- -.__ _ _ ___ _ _. _ ____ _ _ _ _ __ ��+ PUBUC H�ARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 1975 PAGE 4 Trezona expressed his feeling that it was very important to develop North Park without costs being paid by the taxpayers because the people were told that this area would be developed with no cost to them. Ne said the idea of the Foundation would be to obtain the funding and then pay the bills. He added, in the cases where the City would be used as a vehicle in the funding areas, the City would be reimbursed for the expenses involved. Dr. Trezona said the Foundation would like to use the City's clerical help by running the Foundation's payroll through the City to take care of the insurance, tax dec�uctions, and pensions, etc. Dr. Trezona referred to the letter of February 4 and explained that the following data contained in the letter was a summarization of committee reports from members. One of the plans was the concept of education and recreation for children, students, and professional participants. Dr. Trezona said the nature center would be developed in line with the usage and also the possibility of what the center could become in the future. He said the cost could be extensive or minimal. Dr. Trezona said in discussions with various architects from the University of Minnesota, there was a wide variety of conclusions. He felt the nature center could and would be unique. Dr. Trezona pointed out that the finance committee had adopted goals for fund raising for the first year. Dr. Trezona emphasized that the center would be a new thing and mentioned the new concept in the construction of the self sustaining type of building as far as sevaer, water, etc. Ne mentioned that the Foundation was very energy conscience and hoped to construct this type o` a facility. Gr. Trezona mentioned the aspect of the center being an educational tool and doubted whether the City would want to get into the education business. He mentioned the involvement of the school districts in the program and suggested a time table and schedule be set up to enable the various school districts to determine their needs. He expressed the hope that the school districts would become involved in the funding of the nature center after the needs are established. He mentioned he had not discussed this with all of the school districts. Dr. 7rezona continued to explain that the Foundation would like to have a close working relationship and cooperation with all governmental bodies. He felt there should be a liaison between the Foundation and the City. Dr. Trezona further commented that the Foundation is a non-partisan, non-political orqanization and the Foundation is ready to cooperate with the City. Dr. Trezona presented two structural charts to the Counci7 on the screen which illustrated the organizational structure of the program. He said all major decisions would be channeled through the City Council. Dr. 7rezona referred to the second organizational structure indicating the FridTey City Council would be at the top of the organization. fie stated the nature center director would be doing the managing and working with the Springbrook Park Nature Center. In addition, there would be employees and volunteers, participating school districts, and various organizations. The bottom part of the chart outiined the origin of funds and service. Dr. Trezona stated that Dr. Walter Breckenridge from the University of Minnesota asked that Dr. Trezona bring up some comments at the current meeting. Dr. Trezona mentioned Dr. Breckenridge's concern of the restoration of the area. Dr. Trezona said he wished to thank various people who were serving or willing to serve on the Foundation; Dr. Harrison, a volunteer; Mark Noble, student of botany; Mr. Winston Worden; iJeil Christensen, student; Lyle Bractley, science chairman; Dr. Dennis Holloway, Architect from the University of Minnesota; i�lr. Donald Lawrence, Professor of Botany at the University of Minnesota; i�ir. John Meyers, a consulting Engineer and school Board member of District #14; and William Pieper, banker. He mentioned Mr. Pieper had an extensive listing of siahtinos of birds in North Park. Dr. Trezona also thanked Mr. David Schaaf, State Senator, i�irs. Jan Seegar, member of the North Park ad hoc Committee; Dr. Tordoff, Jack Velin, Mrs. LeeAnn Sporre, secretary, and Mr. Don Savelkoul, legal advisor. Dr. Trezona explained through the help of Mr. Savelkaul, the Foundation had received IRS status. Dr. Trezona also po9nted that there are seminars on fund raising for such projects conducted and the instructors are at the City's disposal. He emphasized that the Foundation and the City would have to cooperate in the success- ful execution of the plan. Dr. Trezona said he would be happy to answer any questions. Councilman Starwalt asked Dr. Trezona if he wanted the employees of the Foundation to be City employees receiving full benefits, but yet reimbursed by the Foundation? Councilman Starwalt asked if this was possible,had it been checked into? He asked why Dr. Trezona thought that this action would be an advantage to the Foundation. �� Dr. Trezona replied that in the early stages they would not have the structure , ' 286 ' PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 1975 PAGE 5 in their organization for withholding taxes, or a retirement benefit program, or � an insurance program. fle suggested a method be worked out through the legal department so that the Foundation employees salaries could be paid by the City. He said he was not sure if this would be feasible, but felt it would be more simply done through the City. Jr. Trezona said he was not asking that the Foundation personnel be City employees per se, he would just request that the accounting be � handled through the City. The City would be reimbursed fo rthe use of the clerical help in the bookkeeping department. ' Councilwoman Kukwoski asked if the Foundation's program included the City Naturalist? ' � Dr. Trezona said the program will have a nature center director. Dr. Trezona said it did not include the City's tdaturalist. Councilwoman Kukowski said that Mr. Dan Huff had been hired by the Council, and the he was over qualified for the remaining programs if North Park is turned over to the Foundation. Dr. Trezona explained he � had no objections to having Mr. Huff work for them. Councilwoman Kukowski asked if the Coucil would have any input on hiring a director? Dr. Trezona said Councii would have the final word. � ' � � � ' � i, Councilman fitzpatrick said that the Council had not heard the proposal or the lease agreement. Dr. Trezona said th 1 ease agreement was strictly proposal. Dr. Trezona read aloud part of the lease agreemer.t to the audience. Ne stated that Dr. Breckenridge's remark referred to numbers four and five in the lease agreement. He also added that the City would provide police and fire protection. Dr. Trezona referred to page 2-II of the Council agenda and said this may be somewhat ambiguous, but this could be modified. Councilman Breider said there seemed to be some concern by Dr. Trezona about using ' the naturalist. Dr. Trezona stated that the foundation did not want a City employee directing the nature center, there would be too much conflict of interest. Cr. Trezona said he had no personal feeling about Mr. Huff. Councilman Breider said it was his understanding that the naturalist should not be a]iaison. Dr. Trezona said the foundation and the City Council should have a person they can work through, possibly the City Manager. Mayor Nee clarified the matter stating it would not be the Naturalist. t�e suggested someone serve as a liaison, but he questioned the cost. Councilwoman Kukowski questioned the City Manager asking if the City had a lease agreement with the Tslands of Peace and if the rental fee of this lease agreement would be $7 per year. The City Manager said yes, it has a lease agreement in this amount. Dr. Trezona said that he had mentioned the use of �AIdCON Funds stating the previous idea had been that this area was going to be a golf course, now, it has been determined it would be a nature center. He thought a nature center is more qualified for LAWCON funds than a golf course, therefore it may be more eligible. He thought that there could be contractual arrangements for the Foundation to manage the nature center allowing for the acquisition of funds. He did not think there would be a conflict of interest with the State P]anning Agency. He added, fie had letters to confirm this point. Mrs. Shirley Caldwell, 5874 Hackmann Avenue, expressed her feelings and said her husband would have been very impressed with some of the Foundation's ideas. She presented a donation to the Foundation. Dr. Trezona expressed his gratitude and mentioned that the Caldwell family had asked that memorial contributions be given to the individual's favorite charity, and many people had chosen the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation. � , Dr. Trezona referred to the construction of structures in North Park and suggested that a log cabin style building would be large enough for an office and could also ; house a few supplies. Dr. Trezona suggested that this type of structure would , be suitable for a few years. Possibly, it could be turned into a b�centenn�al cabin with a little stockade, fence and a garden plot. Ne said he had spoken to ' suppTiers of White Cedar Logs, and they stated the Foundation could purchase the logs at the same price that they were three years ago. Dr. Trezona said he would very much appreciate taking some sort of affirmative arrangement back to the Foundation. Fle requested that the City's legal people 1 work with the Foundation and come up with a satisfactory agreement. I � �__ . -----__ _ _ ___ _ ___-----_._ _____ ___.___ ___---- -----_ _______.____ i�.. PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 1975 , 2�7 • PAGE 6 Mayor Nee said the element that seem ed to be lacking in the proposed agreement is the responsibility of the Foundation. Mr. Ken Sporre, Secretary of the Fridley Jaycees, addressed the Council and asked to read a letter prepared at the Jaycees meeting of January 4, 1975. He explained that the Fridley Jaycee's voted unanimously in support of the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation being authorized to operate the nature center with funding and manpower. t•layor Nee said the recent election showed quite a definity of judgement � by the people favoring North Park development as a nature center in excess of two to one. 4�e said it was proposed that the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation be allowed to do the job and there was no proposal that the City do it. Mayor Nee said there were approximately ten or twelve pieces of literature that made this type of statement. Thousands of people were told that the issue was between a golf course developed by the City and a nature center to be developed by the foundation. The public had made a very d ear judgement at the referendum and Mayor Nee stated he hoped the Council would respond to the decision by the people. Mayor Nee said it would be in order to direct the City Attorney to draw up some documents which would describe an agreement with the Foundation. MOTION by Councilwoman Kukowski that the City Council direct the City Attorney to work with the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation in drawing up an agreement to be considered by the Council. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. Councilman Breider center development of communication. Attorney. said he had no problem with the City's agreement with the nature by the Foundation, but he had some trouble clarifying the lines He felt the Council should indicate a direction to the City The City Attorney said the duties of the Foundation should be included and set forth in the agreement along with the duties of the City. He stated that it would be difficu7t to draft an agreement unless he knew which way the majority of the Council wanted to go in the responsibilities of both parties. He asked if the City will provide the director, or would the Foundation? He said these questions would have to be answered so a draft could be prepared for the agreement. Councilwoman Kukowski said she would like to clarify her motion. She stated she was going along SpringbrooR Nature Center Foundation's recommendation as clarified. She said she discovered she did not like the way it was worded, but understood r.ow that the City would be compensated. She agreed with the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation in that this could be taken care of by the City Manager. Counci]man Fitzpatrick said in speaking to Councilwoman Kuk ski's motion, he thought that following the election the obligation given to the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation was to raise funds.

I,I � ' ' 288 PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 1975 PAGE 7 CONSIDERATIQN OF A REPORT REGARDING STUDY TRIP TO RUSSIA CO-SPONSQRED BY THE NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES APJD UNITED STATE CONFERENC� OF MAYORS FROM COUNCILMAN STARWALT: Councilman Starwalt explained that he entered into this request with a 9reat reluctance but that he had talked with a few people who felt if it was worth going to Russia. ' He mentioned he thought it would be worth asking for some assistance. Ne read aioud a letter he had received from the National League of Cities. tie said that whether the City pays for part of the tr�p or not, he wi11 stili participate in the tour. Council- � man Starwalt said if he was not fully interested in this, i�e would not have made � a reservation. He felt this trip would have some advantages to the City in that he would be learning something. He added, if he did feel this way, he would not be asking for the funds. � - Mr. Dennis Schneider addressed the Council and asked if he could make a few comments He said his comments were not directly related to this one trip, but with funding of all City trips. He said he would like to see the City Council adopt some sort of policy, he felt there should be equal representation for both sexes, since men seem to go on business trips and women stay in the office. He said if there are things 1 to be learned, the public should fi nd out, and there should be a report back to the Council and back to the public as to what was learned on these trips. Mr. Schneider thought that there should be some policy decision. I� � , C � � � , � LJ � Mayor Nee commented that in most cases, a report is made after the trip. He stated that the City has sent officials to National Conferences and they report back to the Council. Mayor Nee said he was not sure of any defined policy. Councilman Fitzpatrick asked how often Councilmen go on trips? He asked if total expenses were paid and to what degree. The City Manager said that generally, members of the City Council attend local or state meetings. Not all City Council members have attended iocal meetings, but one or two have, and they bring back information that is shared by the other members. He explained the City Council authorizes the money beforehand, and there are funds allotted in the budget for this type of trip. Councilman Fitzpatrick asked how much expense is paid. 7he City Manager stated that anything related to the trip is usually paid, lie stated sighiseeing is not covered. The City Manager said lodging, food, fees, and travel are usually paid. (:ouncilman Breider asked Councilman Starwalt if he planned to attend the League meeting in Washington, D. C. Councilman Starwalt replied that he was not. ��tOTION by Councilwoman Kukwoski that the City Council allocate $100 for Councilman Starwalt's expenses to Russia. i�layor Nee declared the MOTION DEAD FOR LACK OF A SECOND. Mayor Nee said he agreed with Counci7man Starwalt and felt it was a aood idea for him to attend. Councilman Breider proposed the idea of reviewing the report when Councilman Starwalt returns from the trip and anaiyze the report as far as content, and if it is viable, the Council go ahead and approve reimbursement of $200. Ne mentioned the Council could ta7k about relations with other countries, but this type of tour is difficult to explain to the taxpayers. Councilman Starwalt said he appreciated the Council's suggestions. 110TION by Councilman Breider to table the consideration of the request. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick.

DON SAVELKOUL: Mayor Nee referred to the memo from Mr. Don Savelkoul regarding ]iquor licenses. He asked what the Council's feeling was on this proposal made by Mr. Savelkoul? The City Attorney said he had checked this matter through the Attorney General's Office to determine if this is a criteria the City will have to follow. Mayor Nee proposed a condition of not more than 60% of revenues coming from the sale of liquor. Councilman Brieder said they must keep in mind the size of the facility. Mayor Nee reminded the Council of the probtem of establishing criteria that would allow for the tavern type facility. A question was raised whether this would be 40% minimum food or 40°6 maximum liquor. Councilmat� Breider asked what the other 40% would be. Mayor Nee said it would be anything. The City Attorney said for examplP, a ballroom could have 60% income coming from admissions and 40� from liquor and nothing from the restaurant. He said that with the 2,000 square feet capacity criteria, they have to have a kitchen. 290 PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, i975 PAGE 9 — - , Mrs. Shirley Caldwell addressed the Council and said there are limited things for young people to do in Fridley at the present time and she asked if this would take liquor into places where young people go such as roller skating rinks.

Councilwoman Kukowski. asked how they cou7d suspend a liquor license. Mayor Nee � said that it was very difficult to suspend or remove liquor licenses.

The report is based on an investigation of available City owned property to determine a pos- sible armory site, an inspection of an existing armory to determine if the basic armory facilities can be of municipal and civic use, and review of actual construction costs to determine future construction costs with estimated annual City cost to provide an armory facility. The construction of a National Guard Armory is basically Federal and State Government in nature. The Federal Government must be assured that the primary use of the building and site is military. After the certain primary objectives of the bui�Iding are met, other features which a municipality might desire are added to the building whose construction is coordinated by the Department of Military Affairs, an agency of the Staie of Minnesota. SUGGESTED ARMORY SITE: The basic site requirements for the construction of an armory is a parcel of property approximately 350 feet by 350 feet (2.8 acres). After reviewing all City owned property a suggested site fox a proposed armory is the 200 feet wide parcel of property located between the Columbia lce Arena and the Municipal Garage (see attached map as enclosure #1). This property has been inspected by the National Guard personnel and a favorable response was noted. The suggested site is located in an area where it appears the constructzon of an armory would have a minimum environmental impact on the adjacent properfiies. Due to the number of years required to process construction of an armory, it is � diffi.cult to predict what propexty may be avialable at the time actual construction will take place. Therefore, to proceed with the proper scheduling of construction of a proposed armory, those communities interested in the proposal are being ' requesteci to execute a resolution of intent. The resolution o£ intent basically xeserves a parcel of property and allows for the planning and budgeting of the project. With an appropriate resolution of intent, commitment in regard to a , programmed year for the first armory to be built in the Minneapolis suburbs has been indicated which could a11ow construction to proceed with the City of Fridley in fiscal year 1977. � r , ' In order to develop the site for a proposed armory building and subsec{uent parking area without removal of a majority of the existing trees, Anoka County was contacted to determine the possibility of an agreement for joint use of parking facilities at the Columbia lce Arena. Discussions with the Anoka County Parks and Recreation Department indicated that an agreement could be arranged since a proposed addition to the existing ice arena would result in a parking area which would lend itself to mutual use. An appropriate agreement would be prepared only if the City proceeded with construction of an armory. ' �J ' I � ' Report on National Guard Armory AVAILABLE ARMORY FACILITIES: -2- 9-12-74 The attached floor plan (enclosure #2) indicate s the facilities which would be available with construction of a typical armary. An on-site investigation of the existing armory in Hastings, Minnesota was made by several of the City of Fri�le;� staff to determine the extent.of municipal use of the armoxy facilities. � � The areas available for public and civic use on a rental basis are a 7,000 ' square foot drill floor which could be used for aihletics, dances, and other similar activities. T'he small hall (approximately 1,350 square feet) is finished much like the City of Fridley community room or classroom and has portable ' dividers that break it into three separate rooms. This area could be used for classrooms, summer activities, wedding receptions, etc. ' , �� `J , � ' r , The kitchen is large enough to serve such things as weddings and other banquet activities. The rifle range was indicated to have been built to withstand the impact of rifle bullets or a.357 pistol, similar to those used by the Fridley police officers. The armory would certainly duplicate some of the school facilities that presently exist, however, the armory facility would have more latitude in its rental availability, in that 2iquor and beer can be dispensed, bingo,.flea markets, apparatus and vehicle shows could be arranged which would not lend themselves to a school structure. Additional facilities as desired by the municipality could be incorporated in the construction of the armory. � ESTIb'fATED ARMORY CONSTRUCTION COSTS; The construction of the armory itself will be coordinated by the Minnesota State Armory Commission. State laws provide for the building, establishing the bonds and retiring of the bonds. The total cost of the basic armory is shared by the federal government, state government and local government on the following basis: Federal Government - 75% State Government - l00 (40% of remaining 25%) Loca1 Government - 15% (60% of remaining 250) Any additional features added to the basic armory which could be used by the ,. National Guard would be paid fox a� the ratio mentioned above between the state and local governments. , � � Present typical costs for construction of an armory are approximately $500,000 with the state and local government cost approximately $150,000. To get a more realistic idea of the cost breakdown, the cost of the existing armory in Hastings, Minnesota which was constructed in 1973 are offered for consideration: ■ .i 0 I ' ' r ' ' ' ' Report on National Guard Armory -3- Axmory Construction Costs (1973) Total Contract Amount $424,558.28 Federal Share 299,754.96 Local Share (State F� 124,803.32 Hfunicipality) Architect and Engineer Costs Total $ 23,350.70 Federal Share 16,486.52 Local Share (State F� 6,864.18 Municipality) Total Costs Total Federal Share Local Share (State � Municipality) $447,908.98 316,241.48 131,667.50 9-12-74 1C (All above costs are as of Ma.rch, 1973) In order to provide construction costs which would be anticipated for Fridley in the year 1977, the 1973 costs of the Hastings armory are adjusted using the Engineering News-R�cord index for the past five years. This index indicates an average of 9% per year increase in construction costs over the period from 1968 to 19�3. Assuming the rate of increase does not change, this 9% per year increase in costs results in the following cost participation for 1977 con- struction: Armory Construction Costs (1977) , Total $577,399.26 Federal Shaxe (75%) 433,049.44 Local Share (250) 144,349.82 ' � State Share (40%) 57,739.93 City Share (60%) 86,609.89 ' Architect and Engineer Costs , ' � , , Total $ 31,756.95 Federal Share (75%) 23,817.71 Local Share (25%) 7,939.24 State Share (40%) 3,175.70 City Share (60 a) 4, 763. 54 0 Total Costs Total $609,156.21 Federal Share�(75%) 456,867.15 Loca2 Share (25%) 152,289.06 State Share (400) 60,915.63 City Share (60a) 91,373.43 , (All of the above estimated costs are based on an anticipated increase of 9% per year for next four years) ■ � ' �j � ' � � ' ' � ' 1D Report on National Guard Armory -4- 9-12-74 1fie above estimated costs for 1977 construction of an armory were reviewed by the City of Fridley Finance Department. Based on the estimated City share of $91,373.43 calculations were made to determine an annual cost for the City of Fridley. If we assu��►e an average interest rate of 6.70, the interest cost over a twenty year period wou2d be approximately $64,207. This added to the principal of $91,373 would make an average annual payment on principal and interest of $7,780. The State Armory Building Commission maintains the building and there- fore no annual maintenance costs are anticipated. Discussions with National Guard personnel concerning the funding concept used in building armories indicated that the Minnesota State Armory Building Commission, a corpoxation, has been set up by law specifically to provide for the building and financing of armories. The Armoi; Commission will issue the necessary bonds and the City of Fridley would turn its annual payments over to the Building Commission. Thi= means that it will not be necessary for the City to issue its own bonds for the project. It was further stated that the maximum the State can confiribute towards the funding of the armory is $6,000 per year. This has recently been raised from a previous amount allowable. S[JrM�lARY : From..the foregoing discussion, the proposed armory could provide additional facilities for municipal and civic use with a suggested site on the City owned property between Columbia lce Arena and the City of Fridley Municipal Garage. The annual cost to the City of Fridley for construction of an armory is esti- mated to be $7,780 aver a twenty year period. Respectfully submitted, � `%�i �� + , Richard N. Sobiech, P.E.

Ne further explained that he as Adjutant General would lease the building for one weekend a month which would not exceed $5,000. , Mr. William Scott, 1632 69th Avenue N. E., addressed the Counci7 statinq he was a. retired soldier and indicated he spoke against the Armory. Mr. Scott said he believed this would be a threat against the community and a military encroachment. He a�,lso stated he thought this would be a target for radica] elements in our � tommunity whether there was storage of military equipmQnt or not. He said he � believed in 1965 the Police from the local community responded much faster than any otfler eiement in the community ard they ��ere supplimented by the Guard at a later • time. He pointed out at the time of the 1965 tornado�, the Columbia arena was nat availab7e for use, it a�as not there. PRr.. Scott further commented, he was scared ' of the military and this is why he had got out, and he did not want it back. Councilman lltter said he had received a call from Anoka County Commissioner, Mr. Mike 0'Bannon, who indicated he thought the Armory would be an asset to the community. He indicated ifi there is ever a need for this land to be defended, the people should not always depend on those in another area to do it. He said when the time comes to protect the citizens Fridiey should not de end on 't f t�(' 1' � p a u m ram inneapo is to come out and help them. Councilman Utter said he thought the Armory �ould be useful to the � City and a]sa an advantage to the City. . • Mr. Ed 41i7mes, 0350 Riverview Terrace, stated at the recent Flag dedication ceremony, the Mayor was present. He indicated the on7y way to get something done would be by getting involved and participating. Mr. Kenneth Sporre, 301 Ironton St, N. E., questioned the cost factor at Hastings. He asked if the State and City responsibility would be �13i3OQ0 and asked if this would be a 50/50 split, Mr. Clark, Community Development Administrator said this had been 60/40 in Nastings. Mr. S�orre further questioned who provided.the land. •Fir. Moeglein stated the community would donate the land. Mr. Sporre said then, this � could be added to the cost factor of the City. Mr. Sporre asked how many communities in the'seven county metro area had been approached with this type of proposal for an Armory, and how many favor the proposal. Mr, Moeglein Said Btoomington is very interested in the proposal, he added, two communities did not have the 7and available, and could not construct one. , Mr. Sporre asked if any other sites than the one by the Ice Arena had been discussed. Mr. Clark said there are t►vo other alternative sites, one on Rice Creek Road east of Old Central next to the 7-11 Store where there are three tax forfeit lots the City has acquired. He explained these iots are large lots or about 375 by 300 feet each. � � i � d � � 1 � :i �.� ,.. . � : .; t � ' � � . 3 � ; � l. � � . : s c � � t 1 i { � � PUBLIC HEARING MEETIP�G OF JULY 8, 1974 PA6E 6 Mrs. Shirley Caldwell asked if the Rice Creek site were used, where would the parking be, Mr. Clark said iti•�ould be difficult to determine the amount of people that would be using the building, he did not believe the area would take 800 cars. Mrs. Caldweii asked if the area in the Locke Park area would be an encroachment on the park property. Mr. Clark said the area �ould be between the Columbia Arena and the City garage and not in any part of Locke Park. Mrs. Caldwell questioned if Mr. htoeglein's office would change managers, would there be a procedural change. She further questioned if the point of the City o�rm ership be changed, or would there be some change in the City having any say about this charge, htr. Maeglein said the rental charges.in ali of the Armorys in the State are the same. � h1rs. Lee Ann Sporre questioned ho�� the Council would make the decision. She asked if the Environmental Quality Commission would have any input on where this Armory wou7d be. She added, to this point in time, they had not been asked. Mr. Dennis Schneider asked what interest, if any, is�there by New Bt^ighton on the proposal that an Armory be ]ocated in that City. Mr. Moeglein said he had not made contact with the people at New Brighton, so he was not able to say. He said at this time, the Armory representative had only met with the Planning Commfssion and he did not know the outcome of the meeting. Mr. Peter Truenfels, 5248 Horizon prive, said he was glad that the Counci7 v�as � having the Public Hearing in arhich the costs could be discussed. He questioned the arrangement of payment of the Hastings Armory for the payment of the $731,000. Mr. Moeglein stated the $131,000 was paid by the Co�ununity and the State over a period of eight years. Ne also pointed out that the Ciiy Yias able to sell.the ald building in the amount of $60,000 which contributed to the price of the new construction Mr. Truenfels said this did not tell the people much about what it wou7d cost the people of the City of Fridley. � ' . Mr. Moeglein said it would be difficult to nail down a figure. .. Mr. Truenfels asked if any other community had bui7t an Armory that did not have a building to se11, perhaps this.would be a better indication of the cost. Mayor Liebi stated he thought it would cost $9,000 a year for the period of 30 years. Ftr, Truenfels asked if the total crould be $270,000. . � Mr. Clark explained the ortly change that would take place in Hastings is that � they sold the building, they were only under an eight year mortgage rather than � a 30 year mortgage. He said there would be some addition for inflation. � . j Mayor Liebl said they would not want t� put an Armory in a residential area. He , ! further stated there would have to be adequate parking facilities. . `, Mr. Moeglein said the State contribution would not only be the $5,000, the cost : of maintenance per year would be in the area of from $12,000 to $14,000. � 1 Ms. Joan McLaugh7in, 728 63rd Avenue N. E, thought ti�ere was more to being patriotic � than the construction of a military Armory. She added this would be just as effective � � to establish a natural area or a teen center. � F . .

December 9� 1974 ; � This in reply to your request for opinions from our club concerning the Nationa.l Guard Armory proposed for Fridley. We find that it is impossible to give you percentages of for or against for several reasons. When your form letter of October 23 was received, I made a telephone c�ll to the City requesting more in�'ormation� such as location of proposed building, cost, use etc. Our members were so informed and the result �vas a distinct feeling that the idea would need much more publ,icity than it had obviously received at that time. While our club consists of approximately 45 members, ll of those live within earshot of the city garage. To put it mildly, it is disruptive to any summer evening activity or sleeping with a window open for those people. The thought that another noisemaker might be located within hearing distance of a quiet residential neighborhood was most dzs- concerting. While i't is generally agreed that the police radios and heavy city equipment would not b� at the armory, the renting af the hall for revelry, the constant starting of cars etc. was frightening to at least the people who would live nearby. The question most asked was why the cost could not be shared with nearby suburbs who might aZso benefit from the armory. It wa.s generally agreed, however, that Fridley would benefit in some ways from having an armory, if only �o have additional hall space to rent for large gatherings, as well as to save time and fuel for our residents who tr.avel greater distances for guard duty.. _, ., Our membership has been informed of the next public hearing date and a general outline of what is being proposed. Any output from them. would have to come as individuals, as they are far too divided at this time t�. take any stand as a group. . , Sincerely, FR�DLEYwWOMEN' CLUB .

WHERFAS that part of the cost of the proposed National � Guard Armory which the people of Fridley must pay is zn- definite and seems to grow as discussion proceeds, and � � �� °� WHEREAS the supposed benefits to be derived from the armory appear somewhat doubtful, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Fridley DFL Club go on record as opposing the construction of a National Guard armory in Fridley, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Fridley City Council be so informed. We submit these resolutions for your contemplation in the hope that Such i_nput �vill assist you in evaluating the advisability of such a program of construction. � Ver•y �ly ours, . _ j.

At that time the City Council direc-ted me to send. you a letter stating their concerns. 6�Jhile the City.Council is not generally op�os�d to the concept af establishing the armory and unit in Broo;clyn Park, conditions seem to make the project prohibit�.ve at this tine, frTe understand those conditions fio be as follows: l. The City must donate three to five aeres of land for the . armory site. . - 2. This would remove -the land from the tax rolls. � 3. The City must install alI utilities zo the site and absorb the special assessmen-ts, ��hich could amount to approximately $13,000 per acre. � . 4. The City must donate a portion of the construction costs for the arr�ory (this would be approximately 150 of the construction cost). t��ile thz armory would provide meeting s�ace for the community, wA �already have sufficient space to cover our present needs in this regard. There is no way that Brooklyn Pari: couJ.c� accept responsibility for alI � of these costs by ourself, If this is the onlyr�ay it can be done, we taould ask that c•�e be dropped from consideration lor an armory.

Huff, Naturalist/Resource Coo�iinator j�� y DATE: February 3, 1975 RE: North Park Develogxnent Coordination The follawing report is the result of the coordination effort by myself ar�d other m�rs of the city staff carried out according to Resolution 126-1974 of the Fridley City Council dated Nov�nbPx 18, 1974. As you r�ne.�ber, the Council requested the city staff �(Naturalist/Resource Coordinator) meet with any and all local civic groups, school districts, and adjacent municipalities in order to pravide a widely based coordination effort in planning for the development of a Nature Center at North Park. This resolution followed the denial of a request by the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation for the city to lease overall rights to develo�ent to that group. Since that resolution I have either met with or contacted 46 civic organizations, 8 municipalities, and 5 state goverrunental offices. A small mi.nority of that group has indicated a desire to participate in the development, as I have reported ta you earlier. Liaisons were appointed for five school districts. Meetings with them and subsequent conbnunications to their respective school boards have indicated that the local boards are unable to make any financial corr¢nitrnents to the project at the present time, but all are interested, support the project concept, offer teacher time for staffing, and may be able to provide sane financial aid in the future. Generally, the boards are hesitant to make more definite c�itments until it has been decided how arid by whom tYie center will be developed. Hawever, meetings with the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation have produced no cooperative approach to the question of develognent. On the night of Nov�nber 18 and again immediately thereafter I talked to Dr. ' T��:chard Trezona, Chairman of the Foundation, and conveyed to him my intent to meet with any Foundatian m�nbers at any time in order to produce a single ccanprcmised and mutually supported plan to the City Council on February 10. I further offered the foundation access to all the inforniation I had or would ' receive regarding the ccs�munity interest and support for the project. This I did in several mailings and meeti.ngs. , , , � ' � Hawever, I was not contacted for several weeks follawing my i.nitial conversations with Dr. Trezona. In early Dec�nber I contacted him and reiterated my desire to meet. A meeting was scheduled and held at Dr. Trezona's office on Dec�nber 19, 1974. Dr. Trezona, Mark Noble, and myself were in attendance. At that meeting I presented,Dr. Trezona with several docLUnents for discussion. Included were tentative administrative and funding diagrams and an outline of services to be pravided by the participants in the develo�xnent of the Nature Center. These docLUnents met the liking of both Foundation m�nbexs arid I was told they would be distributed to all other menbers. I was told then that I should attend the meetings of the various the Foundation. I strongly supported the opportunity which I wa The meeting of the Personnel Search Ca�nittee was the only one I atter�d follawing a discussion between the c�mittee chairman ar�d ccnanittees of � later denied. was invited to Dr. Trezona. , ' � _J 2 Follawing this meeting of January 3, 1975, I was told by Dr. �rezona that z 2 A should refrain fram contact with the Foundation until after t�ie General Meeting of January 28, at which time the proposals I had provided would be acted upon. On the morning of January 28, I telephoned Dr. Trezona to indicate my availability to attend the general meeting, if desired, to aid in the coordination effort. I was denied an invitation to attend but was told that it appeared that the proposals would be approved with little or no modifications and that I would soon be contacted to meet and formalize the plan to be subnitted to the council. ' On January 31, again having received no wr.�rd frcan the Foundation, I telephoned Dr. Trezona for the meeting results. At this time I was told that following le.ngthy discussion and input frcan Foundation directors attending fheir first , meeting in months as well as manbers of other foundations, it was resolved to present a unilateral develo�xnnent plan to the City Council again requesting that total rights to the property and opexation of a nature center thereupon be leased to the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation with the Council itself , . being the only city overseer or coordinator. , Again, I must point out that I have made every.effort to conmunicate with the ` Foundation and instill in it confidence in my ability and in the city's desire for a viaUle nature interpretation program at North Park. The Foundation, how ever, has basically allowed me no inroads into their planning processes and has, , instead, chosen to take the described approach. Because of the mandate of Resolu- tion 126-1974 I must still sul�nit this report with as much objectivity as is possible. I n t�he following paragraphs I will att�npt to clarify the necessity ' for city staff involvement in the develo�xnent and operation of a nature center at North Park. ' ' ' � ' ' �I � � � ' ' I�WCON GUIDELI NES Mr. William Atkins of the Park and Recreation Grants Section of the State Planning Agency has informed me that the redesignation of North Park from a golf course to a nature center site has establi:shed the need for the presentation of a revised development plan to the federal LAwCON office (Appendix A). The plan must correct all sections of the original LAWCON grant application (Appendix B) for subsequent approval by both federal and state agencies. When develo�anent plans are altered beyond the scope of the LAWCON guidelines, prestunably previously granted funds must be repaid to those respective agencies. Also, the administration of the city receiving LAWCON funds is held responsible for develo�xnent according to the plan. Subleasing properties so obtained is dis- couraged or disallawed by federal guidelines. A cooperative managenent plan w�uld provide for continuity of city ownership without reducing the effectiveness of progr�u�►ing or the input of the Foundation. . . y«�� To my knowledge, nawhere in the Metropolitan Area has property obtained with public monies (especially matching furids) been leased to a private fotindation along with all develo�nent and managanent rights. In fact, most foundations have been created to operate privately owned nature centers or to provide advisory or fund-raising services to public agencies (Appendix C). Contrarily, a group knawn as Metropolitan Nature Centers, Inc. was formed to acquire the property naw knawn as Carver Park and build the Lawry Nature Center. This corporation in turn, deeded property and building t,o the recently �ounded Hennepin County Park Reserve District. LJ ' , ' � � , ' , �� ' �+ I� � ' ' , � ' 3 I N H�ID RE.SOUF�CES 1. Personnel Ser�rices. The City has the mechanisn for prdviding a canplete array of personnel services ar�d fringe benefits to the Fsnployees of the nature center. 2. Maintenance. The City Parks and Recreation and Public Works De- parisnents can pravide necessary maintenance to roads, walkways, trails, etc., without duplication of equi�nt by the Foundation. 3. Director. The City hired a Naturalist/Resource Coordinator on July 1, 1974, aftex months of deliberation as to the scope and responsibilities of the position. The "Position Description" under which this positiori was filled (Appendix D) lists as the first duty: "Develop and manage a nature interpretive program. On ,Tuly l, 1974, the Naturalist sukmitted to the City Council a listing of objectives (Append� E) which included the develo�xnent and operation of a nature center. The objectives were approved but the Naturalist was later restrained frcgn �mpl�nenting th�: program until after the public referendtnn and North Park development, Nov�nber 5, 1974. With the redesignation of North Park as a Nature Center it w�ould se�n reasonable that the City Council wr�uld renew its commitrnent to a viable nature interpretation program as evident fram the approv:ed program budgets for 1974 and 1975 (Append� F) and the rigorous selection procedure followed in selecting the Naturalist/ Resource Coordinator frcxn among 150 applicants. Leasing North Park to a private foundation without guaranteed involv�nent of the appropriate city staff wc�uld negate the credibility of the Naturalist position and the intent with which it was crea.ted.. . 4. A-Frame Building. The A-frame building at 5815 Arthur Street is being brought up to City Code specifications for public use. The building will be suitable to serve as the center of operation for the cooperating city and foundation staff until funds can be raisecl for a permanent structure at North Park. The availability of this building supplants the need for a temporary structure and the associated expenditure. CONTI N(TI TY A cooperative agreanent involving the City would aid in the continuity of the nature interpretive program. As Foundation di.rectorships change hands, policy changes would be buffered by the city's involvement. Experience with other foundations has shown quite well the steadying influence public ment may provide. FUNDING SOUI�CES agency involve- �► The official involv�nent of the city in the develo�nent of North Park could only provide additional sources of funding such as those granted through LAWCON and the Metropolitan Council. Private industYy may be more amenable to contri.buting to a"public" project than to a private foundation. Several local major industries are interested in seeing a develognent plan at the present time. The I RS has - assur�i me that aZl contri�.itions to the city for such projects are certainly tax deductible (Appendix H) . 1 ' ' ' �I �' � ' �J ' ' ' ' , 4 The new gn�rgency gnployment Act may provide us with funds for another interpretive naturalist and forester (application has been made with Anoka County). Without evidence of fiscal responsibility, the city has no guarantee that a private foundation will be able to develop and manage a nature center at North Park within an acceptable chronology. The results of the Nov�nb�x 5 referendLUn the redesigna- tion of the site as a nature center, and the exclusion of the ambitious golf course develo�nent plan mandate a close hand be kept on the development plan. A coopera- tive project would in no manner of thinking curtail the furx�.-raising power of the Foundation. I have attempted to list the most important reasons for city involv�nent in the deve].o�xnent of North Park. I have found no evident public benefit yielded by leasing the total op2ration to any foundation. The logical division of duties and responsibilities as spelled out in a cooperative agre�nent can only help to guarantee the public a reasonable, continuous, and efficiently managed program frcxn conception to impl�nentation and make proper use of previously ccmmitted resources waiting pa.tiently at hand. ..�.� . Since no coordinated planning has been possible, I am again proposing that the City Council resolve to develop and operate a nature center at North Park coopera- tively with the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation according to an agreement such as that presented as Appendix G. The ac�iinistrative and funding diagram and service outline mentioned in the "Operating Agreement" are presented respec- tively as Appendices I and J. Appendix K is a tentative job description for the director of the nature center. The Naturalist/Resource Coordinator position would be dissolved as a resuZt. Appendix L is a tentative development schedule for the nature center under such a coordi.nated plan. CONCLIJSION Again, I must reaffirm the need for formal city involv�n�nt in the project. Also, there se�ns to be no obvious advantage to relinquishing the.total program to a private foundation. The city's monetary input to the project could be repaid through contributions freeing the city of any fiscal obligation while maintaining the continuity of city supervision. The credibility of the city's Naturalist/ Resource Coordinator position would also be maintained. , ! I wi11 be happy issue. I hope ' recommendation . Thank you.

The City of Tridley has both the authority and permanence to carry out a successful operation at North Park. The City may contract with a non-profit organization for development and management of North Park,.but we would ultimately need to hold the City responsible for North Park. Recreation facilities for a nature center, other than buildings,are eligible for LAWCON funding. Outdoor nature facilities, particularly in combinata.on with compatable recreational activities,would also rank higher than the original golf course proposal for funding. It appears likely that some LAWCOPT funding next year will go for development projects in the Metropolitan area. �uttding priorities will continue to be based upon a comparison of applications xeceived and competition is likely to be seen. r Sincerely, 1.��,i..��.-��` �. .�.�a ' William A.

Our concepts are basically educational ar�d rer,reatiora] for children, studer.ts, aduit layrr�en, teachers, an.d professio�al participants. It includes the present energy conservatior. progr�.ms and research and application vf the newest modern naturalist inno- vations i<< the preservation of the environment. Ir. time it ca:� be suppiemented by educational and special interest features broadcast via video TV programs for shut-ins and disabled. The design will be divided into Phase I and II. P�ase I includes some type of temporary building for secretarial and naturalist �ffices and supplies and equipment for teaching. I�s p:e�er�tiy envisio�ied it would also include ?ayout of trails and the DI"GCJrar:� for {�articipa�zs and teacher/naturalists . The probable time �chedule wo�:lc? be three years. It has been suggested that the temporary structure k:e an authentic log cabii�� in the true. sense , built by loc�31 people; a;,d althougti it would be used by our personnei as an ��ffice-st�rage building, it could be developed into a f.ontier setting to celebrate our Bicentennial 1975. Phase II includes development of ccmpleted nature Nroqram and de- sign and construction of headquarters to augment and implement tiiis progra m . 2) Our Finance Committee feels that funding is their primary ebjective. A budget of $50,000 should be sought to help cover the ir.itial cost of Phase I. Source.s of these funds will be comrnunity, school, ari- vate , and public through various projects , fund raisers , solicitation� , etc . Phase II financing has been set up as being a large amount of money which will be sought from governmental organizations and private sources over a long perie.d of time. Considerable cocperation with respect to tt;e desiq,�s and concepts of the community needs will dic- tate this amount of mcn�y ancl the types of environm�rita:ly up-to-ciate structures which need to be finan�ed. This phas�� rannot be hurried. 2DD i� � C iky of Frid1E y � � � � � r � � � � F�bruary � , 1975 Yage 3 3) Thc Stuff Search Ccmmittee F:as d��veloped a graph in whicn the lin�s of dire�tion ai�e rlarified on horizoncal and vertical !t-:v�;?s.

Also, there will be an opportunity for considerable contact with City officials from other parts of tF�e USA, as well as scheduied meetings, briefings, and sponsored events, both in Moscow and Leningrad. The tota] cost of this portion of the trip is as follows: Package tour Washington/Russia and re�turn $495.Q0 Round trip, Minneapolis - Washington 175.00 Passport, Photos, Visa, etc. 25.00 Tncidentals and Unforseen (Estimated) 125.00 Total $820.00 There will be some time available to do some sightseeing and other such activities, and the cost of this is not shown in the above total. I feel there is something we can learn from the Russians. If nothing e1se, we should maybe know what things not to do which the Russians are doing. There might be justification for the City to fund a smali portion of the total cost, say $200. But even if the City Council does not approve any funding, I feel this trip is worthwhile and I am scheduled to participate fully, at my expense �f necessary. I will bring back �nformation and data and make it avail- able for the City's use. ' I am fully cognizant of the great controversy they had in Columbia Heights about the approval of expenditures of $1050 for th�ee officials. N�w; that funding has been rescinded by the Columbia Heights City Council.
