Fridley City Council '
4Jilliam J. Nee, Mayor
6431 University Ave. @.E.
Fridley, t•iinn 55432 .
Dear Mayor P�ee:
. �, ,
o �. .
This is in response to the request of the City Council at the
Conference meeting of Qctober 31,1977 on the Subject of vrhat
Constitutes a fair net income for charitable donations from bingo
operations. Subsequent to that meeting, representatives of the
four active bingo operations in Fridley, namely the Amvets,
Knights of Columbus, Lions Club and VFW met to revieer details of
respective payout policies and operating expenses to determine what
thanges would be needed in order to get more equal net income
from each of the four operations. The only Significant difference
found in the operating statements of the organizations tvas in the
percentage of gross receipts paid back to the players in the form
of prizes. Although there eras some aparehension that a noticeable
change in prize policy might adversely affect player attendance, it vras
agreed that a gradual chan�e should be successful.
The objective is a nominal 65% of gross receipts for payout, 25% for
all expenses, leaving a theoretical 10� net income for donations.
Recognizing that there are several variables in binao operations that are
difficult, if not impossible, to control, it was further agreed that some
allowance for tliese Variables must be made in any formal proposal.
The follc�ving statement has been approved by each of the four organizations
and is being offered for your consideration:
"In order to comply s•rith the primary objective of using
biflgo as a means of raising funds for charitable purposes
in the City of Fridley and yet prdvide payback opportunities
for the bin90 player-s necessary to attract a consistent source
of tvorking funds, it is proposed that each nonprofit organization
using this means of fund raising make donations to charitable
causes in an amount equal to or exceeding 8 percent of the
gross receipts during any fiscal year or, alternately, sho�a
evidence of setting aside an equal amount in a reserve fund
for longer term projects. It is requested that a period not
to exceed ttvelve months from date of acceptance of this
� .:�.--''''�
.
, ' , ,
q� ..
proposal by the fridley City Council be allowed for meeting these
terms, giving each sponsoring organization sufficient time
to make any changes in their bingo operation policies
necessary to comply.
"It is further requested that should conditions beyond the control
of the sponsoring organization (s) cause an inability to
meet these terms during any fiscal year the City Council of
Fridley or its designated a9ency shall grant a temporary
deviation upon shot�r of just cause."
We will be available for further discussion of this subject at your
convenience. I'm sure I speak for the group in saying our only
objective is to raise the maximum amount for t�iorthy causes and at the
same time provide a challenging enough game atmosphere to attract
sufficient players to make it all happen.

Dear Sirs:
MAKf LlTTER PAY
VERNON •'BUO'• STINTZI
REGIONAL MANAGER
(612)566�I1<1
Environmental Community Services, Inc. offers to provide
litter receptacles and litter pickup for both Cities and
Shopping Centers in the local area. In return for this
service we ask for permission to display advertising on
the receptacles. Presently we are negotiati�g with sev-
eral Cities and Shopping Centers.
Would the City of Fridley be interested in our Services?
I should mention before I go further that we propose no
course of action which would result i� employee termination
or displacement. This can be avoided by espansion of lit-
ter pickup by your City to the extent of our agumentation.
or if this is not feasable then our corporation could enter
into a negotiated rent, subsidy, reimbursement or whatever
would be reasonable to both parties. We must make the same
offering or equitable substitute to all Cities and Shopping
Centers.
The receptacles are the property of the corporation. �They�
would be�placed convenient to both vehicular and pedestrian
'traffic as�approved by the City. The corporation ar the City
would'be'iesponsible for removi�g the likter as necessary
an8 fo� maintaining the receptacles in neat, clean and at-
tractive appearance.
The corporation would comply with City ordinances and with
health standards as directed by the Health Department.
0
Advertising will be i;rt good taste, from legal business
concerns,'and in accordance with City ordinances. It is not
expected that 10090 of the advertising panels will be utilized
and a minimum of 60"d is �et as a goal. The Ciiy may adver-
tize on a space available and no cost basis, and in coordi=�
nation with the corporation, on some panels not under con-
tract. The City would bear the cost of the sign printing
and the corporation would bear the cost of installing when
accomplished durinq a regular schedule.
The receptacles are made of concrete and weigh about 1000 lbs.
Each side of the receptacles has space for removable adver-
tising panel. The exterior cover panel is a clear plastic
panel 22x23 inches on four sides. The lid of the recept-
acles is removed with a special tool. The concrete will
be white or lightly shaded. Advertising will have a white
or light pastel background and flashy colors will be avoided.
Advertising will be simple and "busy" displays will be
avoided. A very rough copy of a photo is.inclosed. A re-
ceptacle can be delivered to the City for detailed review.
Production of the receptacles began January 16th with a rate
of 20 per week. This can be increased to 40 per week in one
month if necessary. '
Enclosed is a copy of the Proposed Litter Receptacle Agree--
ment.
Placement of the units will be coordinated through the plan-
ning and sanitary sections of the City.
�
One final note; we do not ¢ntend to advertize pornographic
establishments nor alcoholic beverages, no law against it
except our steadfast belief on good taste.
Your comments and advice regarding this proposal will be
greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
tler�noMn � tin zi

NASIM M. QURESHI, CITY MANAGER, ANU CITY COUNCIL
MARVIN C. BRUNSELL, ASST. CITY MGR./FIN. DIR.
PURCHASE OF CHRISTENSEN PROPERTY (NORTH OF CITY HALL)
UECEMBER 30, 1977
The City Manager has asked me to folTow up on the initial contacts made by the
administration regarding the purchase of part or all of the Christensen property.
BACKGROUND
1. The initial contact with the owner of the property concerned the possible
purchase of additional land for Police parking._
2. Dr. 0. H. Peterson owns the land and building in question. It apparently has
not been a paying proposition for him.
3. Gonyea Investment Company is presently handling the property for �r. Peterson.
Mr. Gonyea's advice to his client is to sell the property.
4. Mr. Gonyea's advice to his client is to split the property into three or
four parcels, which could then be effectively marketed. The property could
not be split and sold in the exact configuration proposed by Ptr. Gonyea
without CounciT approval of lot splits. However, by minimal changes of
parcel boundaries, the property could probably be split and sold separately
without Co�ncil approval.
5. There is some concern on the part of the City that the entire corner may
deteriorate if the property is sold off in parcels.
6. The idea of purchasing the entire package was discussed at the last conference
meeting.
PRESENT STATUS
1. The selling price of the property has been stated at various times as $325,000,
a3U0,000 and �275,000. The Assessor's value on the property is $330,865.
2. Factors influencing the selling price include the timing of the sale and the
sale terms
9 ,`
3. I have reason to believe the property could be purchased for $275,000 at this
time, or at the end of a three year period, assuming a satisfactory lease
purchase could be worked out for the three year period.

4. The idea of the City leasing the entire complex for a three year period,
and subletting to existing tenants has been explored.
5. Based on present data available, the City could not expect to break even
during the three year lease period, and would have to consider the loss
during this period part of the cost of the property: The three year loss
is estimated at $22,930. (See Exhibit I.)
6. The present lessees operate without a formal lease, that is, on a month to
month basis.
7. The projected operating statement assumes 90� occupancy for 1978 and 1979,
and 80% during 1980. The operating statement assumes no rent increases, on
the other hand, 90% occupancy for 1973 and 1979 may be optimistic based on
past experience.
8. Occupancy for 1980 has been estimated lower because it would be the third
year of the City's lease period. There would be the prospect of tenants
moving out if it is the City's intent to demolish the buildings at the end
of the three year period.
9. The basis for the City's lease cost of $20,400 per year is, that is the amount
Dr. Peterson pays on the contract for deed each year. There is a possibility
that this amount could 6e negotiated downward somewhat, but I do not expect
much movement in this area. In any event, the City would have to be prepared
to operate the property at a loss for the three year period. One of the
advantages the doctor has in owning the property, that does not affect the
City, is the fact that the doctor can charge depreciation against the operation,
thereby showing a large )oss. This affects his taxes on income earned from
other sources.
OPTIONS AVAILABLE
THe options available to the City include:
1. Purchasing only the land needed for Police Parking at an estimated dollar and
one-half per square foot. If the City were to purchase 11,000 square feet,
this would cost the City �16,500. The City could fund this from exisitng
sources in 1978.
2. The second option available to the City would be to pick up the Police parking;
plus a portion of the land that goes with the concrete garage building. Mr.
� Gonyea estimates the parcel, with the garage, is worth $35,000.
3. The City could purchase the entire parcel now if a source of funding could be
found.

4. The City could purchase the entire parcel at the end of a three year period.
The advantage of waiting for a period of years before the purchase would be
made, would be that hopefully, Federal grants could be secured to help pay
the purchase price. The lease would have to be carefully worded if this
were done.
5. The City could lease the entire parcel for three years and if funding did
not materialize, relinquish control of the building.
We have done about as much negotiating as.we can without knowing what the Council's
intentions are. That is, 1) does the Council wish to buy a portion of the property
at once; 2) does the'Council wish to purchase the entire parcel at once; 3) does
the Gouncil want to work out a lease agreement with an option to purchase at the
end of a three year period.
We have made no contact with any of the lessees of the property, and wi11 not do
so until we get further direction from the City Council.
This progress report is being sent to the Council at this time for the purpose of
soliciting feed back, and to give the Council an opportunity to request additional
information if they wish.

Mr. Dennis Gonyea

Minneapolis, Minnesoia 55403
Dear tdr. Gonyea:
I have put together a projected profit and loss statement for the
years 1978, 1979 and 1980 based on information I received from you.
It appears that based on a lease cost of $20,400 per year, the
figures do not come out. l,lhether this would inhibit the Council
from entering into a three year lease on the property, I cannot
sdy, although, it does not look too favorable.
However, just to recount our conversation, it is my understanding
that if the City did enter into a three year lease with the option
to buy the entire parcel, the price would be somewhere in the
neighborhood of �300,000. It is also my underStanding that you
would sell the parcel of property that the City is interested in
for parking purposes for approximately $1.50 per square foot. This
parcel totals about I1,000 square feet. I understand you feel you
can get about $35,000 for the parcel with the garage on it, and
abput $40,000 for the northeast corner. The parcel with the garage
on it would have to have an easement to the north. The City probably
would not be interested in either of these two parcels, but would
be interested in the area for police parking or in the entire package.
I wanted to put some of these things in writing just so we are
talking about the same figures before we go before the City Council
with the package.
If there is anything further that you can do on the lease price, it
Mr. �ennis Gonyea
December 15, 1977
Page 2
would help sell the Council on the proposition. The way it looks
now, it does not look too favorable for the purchase of the entire
parcel.
One further note, the parcels as you have them laid out on your
drawing do not tie in with existin,g lot lines. The property could
not be split exactly as shown without getting City Council approval
of the lot splits.
Please give me a call as soon as you have had a chance to look this
over.
Very truly yours,
Marvin C. Brunsell
Asst. City Mgr./Fin. Dir.

Developing a Consensus of Approach
Regarding the Commercial Area Alon9
University Avenue and Mississippi
ME140RANDUM DS-472
It seems that commercial businesses in this area, especially North of
61st on University and on P1ississippi Street near the University Avenue
intersection, are not having too much success vrith business, and there
seems to be a constant turnover of commercial tenants and stores becoming
vacant> which seems to be a sign of deteriorating business activity.
I feel that we should try to get together with the comnercial property
owners and tennants to promote a joint effort in evolving approaches
which can be taken to maintain this viable business area, and to see
if the business community wants the City government to play a roll, if
any> in such a course of action.
Would you please develop a format that we can use in this �ase, learning
from other City's experiences. ��
Thank you for your assistance.

RE: Memo DS472 on Downtown Development
Starting January 1, 1978, Anoka County will be classified an EDA (Economic
Development Area) and thus the individual cities may qualify for EDA funds. I
would like to set up a cooperative effort in the overall downtown development
process with the County> Chamber of Comnerce, downtown businessmen and the City
of Fridley. The following steps need to 6e taken to try to ensure this cooperative
effort.
1. Meet with the downtown businessmen and the Chamber of Commerce to
discuss what can be done to help revitalize the business area. .
2. Meet with Anoka County to ensure that their EDA plan incoPporates our
concern for the downtown area. •
3. Hire a consultant to do a market study of the downtown area.
4. After an ana]ysis of the market study, put together a development
plan for the downtown area. .
5.' Implement the plan with any and allfunds that could be made available.
It will be important to stress the cooperation of atl parties during the
Who}e process. I fee} that if we are going to see any progress in this praject
we should start the steps as early as possible. We anticipate about 1 1/2 years
to carry out the first 4 steps. �

RE: Residential Maintenance Code
I have examined the draft of tl�e housing maintenance code and have the
following comments.
SEGTIOYS 220.01 to 220.04
I believe that these sections are repetitious and can be condensed into
the following:
PURPOSE '
It is found and declared: That impaired structures harbor
� conditions dangerous to the public health, safety, and
� \t�eneral welfare of the people; that impaired structures
�� exist within the City of Fridley because of faulty design
� p� �j� or construction, because of the failure to keep these
structures in a proper state of repair, their lack of
��' �G� adequate lighting or ventilation, their inability to be
��,� properly heated and their improper management. Therefore,
� the puxpose of this chapter is to maintain the city's
fl sanitation, public health and attractiveness, protect
the safety of the people, and to promote the general
welfare by legislation which shall be systematically
enforced upon all existing and future residential rental
property.
,�, SECTION 220.05
O
The code uses many subjective terms that would cause problems in enforce
m0nt -- terms such as adequate, minimum, significant, and proper. In
Subdivision 19, the term "significant" is used in reference to the presence
of insects and rodents. If the city were to prosecute under this section,
how would they prove to the court that the insects or rodents were signifi-
cant? Also, in Subdivision 39 relating to rodent harborage, the term
"liable to live" seems to be excessively broad. I would suggest two
additional definitions defining properly installed and properly connected.

ions of this chapter. Those responsi611ities may not be

do so from the City of Fridley, as hereinafter provided.
At the discretion of the Building Inspector, all initial
licenses issued within 180 days of the enactment of this

the purpose of providing staggered licensing. In all other
instances, each such operating license shall be issued
annually and shall expire on the anniversary date of issu-
ance. License renewals shall be filed at least 60 days
prior to the license expiration date. If an impairment
should occur in an owner-occupied dwelling that threatens
the health, safety, and welfare of the occupants or adjacent

exercise the enforcement of this ordinance."

S�fety Iiazards, of the Maintenance Code.
Ms. Christlieb stated that the definition of "Hazardous Building�' in
Section 463.15 of the Minnesota Statutes was "any building which,
because of inadequate maintenance, dilapidation, physical damage;
unsanitary condition, or abandonment, constitutes a fire hazard or a
hazard to public s�fety or health". There was nothing in Section 463.15
about what happened to people who had to move out of an uninhabitable
building.
Mr. Belgum stated that, after looking at the Commission's goals and
objectives, he had the strong conviction that this kind of thing (referring
to the Yroposed Maintenance Code) did not belong with the Human Resources
Gommission.
Ms. Shea stated that this M1intenance Lode's purpase was to help people
who were living in bad rental conditions and Lo give them a legal recourse.

Ms. Christlieb stated that she thought people had some legal rights now,
but that the City had very little power to have pec�le maincain buildings
at standards necessary for human habitation.
Ms. Shea stated she felt it was very important that the H�an Resources
Commission put their input into the Proposed Diaintenance Code.
Mr. Storla suggested that the Coumission continue to review the Proposed

Commission if there was time at the end of the meeting.
p{r. Belgum asked if anything was said in the Proposed Maintenance Code
ahout a referee who would determine when compiaints were valid.

referred to Section 220.121, Authority; "Excl�ding appellant bodies
(which are the Appeals Commission and the City Council), the Building
Inspector shall be the final authority in the determination of a violation."
Mr, gelgum stated that was his major concern--that there be some sort of
referee.

should be required on all exterior doors on all new buildings.
Mr. Storla stated that there might be locks, other than "dead-bolt"
locks which would Ue safe.
Mr. gelgum withdrew his motion.
Mr. Storla recoumiended that No. 7 include a statement that "locking

The Commission members recommended that on Page 7, po. 2, "Windows,
Doors, and Screens", the words "and lockable" be added to the end of
the sentence. �
Ms. Shea stated that she had recommended at Planning Commission that
smoke alarms should be required, but it was not put in.
I�ix'. Thiele stated that maybe there couLd be a paragraph that stated thst
during any remodeling, it would he highly recommended that smoke alarms

Mr. Belgum also agreed that he would like to see the need for smoke
alarms worked into the Maintenance Code.

Underwriter Laboratories (UL) label or seal.
Referring to Section 220,08, "Immediate lieal[h and Safety Hazards",
Ms. Shea asked if the City would be responsible if a dwelling was
uninhabitable and the people had to move out. Where would those people go?

which stated that "in the event a dwelling has been declared unfit for
human habitation and the oumer had not remedied the defects within a pre-
scribed reasonable time, the d�•�elling may be declared a hazardous building

RISMAN RESOURCES COMMZSSZON MEETING JANUARY 5, 1978 - PAGE 4
Ms. Christlieb and Mr. Fleming staCed they would find out what was in
gection 463.15 of the Minnesota St�tutes by the next meeting.
�, gelgum stated that he thought the Commission oUght to find out how
many families were living on AFDC in Fridley. He felt this would be
useful in dealing with the Maintenance Code. It stood to reason that the
buildings that were the most in need of repair belonged to people with
lower incomes. The Commission's atten[ion ought to be focused on the
poverey end of the spectrum.
Ms. Shea stated that would be discrimination.
I.ys. Dobson stated that Larry Dobson had requested that Chris Haugen's
name be removed from the Tenant/Landlord Project Committee list as
Co�unity Action Representative and that Jaznes Connors, Rm. 306,
403 Jackson St., Anoka, Mn. 55303, be added as Co�unity Action Repre-
sentative. She also stated that no tenants had attended the last Tenant/
T,andlord project Committee meeting.

on the Tenant/Landlord Project Committee of December 12, 1977. Upon a
voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
pgr, Belgum stated he would like to know if any other suburb had a viable
and active tenant association. He was curious as there may not actually
be any which may mean it was not possible to form one.
Mr. Storla stated that in the December 12, 1977, meeting report of the
Tenant/Landlord project Co�ittee, it was asked that a member of the
$uman Resources Commission give the committee some insight as to what
the Tenant/Landlord Project Committee was to accomplish. He read the
"Purpose" of the Tenant/Landlord Project Committee from the May 5, 1977,
Human Resource Commfssion minutes; "The Fridley Tenant/Landlord Project
�ommittee shall act as an advisory committee to tl�e Fridley Human
Resources Coumiission for the purpose of maintaining a quality of life
in residenL-ial rental stock consistent with the standards of all residents
in the comLiunity; and developing methods, policies, and means of ensuring
that the rights of tenants and landlords are protected and harmonious
relationships facilitated." Was this what the Cormnission wanted the
committee to accomplish? Was the Co�ission happy caitt� this "purpose"?
�, gelgum stated he would be happy if there was any possibility of
organizing a tenauts' union for the major rental properties.
Ms. Dobson stated that she thought the Tenant/Landlord Project Committee
was trying to shy away fran creating a tenants' union as they wanted to
resPect both tlie tenants' 1nd landlords' rights.

CYcairner�on FIarris felt that the nroposed Housin� Pdaintenance
Code rrould be a good ordinance to put a"self-destruct"
section in it, He suggested �aying that this Ordinance is
valicl until Deceraber 31, 1980, or something on that order.
He said that at that time it crould autonatically be repealed
unless it r�as continued by either the City Council or Staff.

ho�r it rtorked. He said that if it didn�t rrork crell, then it
�vould have to be changed. Ae said that there r�asn't anything
that forced the changing of ordinances to be sure that they
��raorke d�� .
r4r. Boardman said that they had the option at any time to
change the ordinances,
Chairperson Harris said that it seemed that chanoes didn't
occur unless there vtas an imminent disaster pending.
Much discussion took place at this point regarding the
putting of a�'time period" on the proposed Housing
Maintenance Co3e.
Chairperson Harris said that the proposed Housing Maintenance
Co3e looked like a good code, He said it �Jas an entirely
different issue as to if it trould actually "e�ork�{.
Chairperson Harris said that the Code treaded very closely
on some con�titutional rights. He iranted to be sure that
they didn�t get too far into "left field�� on the Code.
He said that the housing �toc'_3 should be maintained in the
best manner possible; hovrever he didn�t ti��ant the people's
rights to be abridoed either. He said because of that, the
pr000sed Housin� t�iaintenance Code had to be tried for a
certai.n period of time and then it has io be revierred,
Ms. Schnabel felt that a definition for "Grade Level" should
be included in the proposed Housing P4aintenance Code's definitions
section.
rir. Boardnan said that there ti•ras a definition for Grade Level
in the Building Code and he said that that r�ould cover for
the Nousing i•i� intenance Code,

Mr, Boardman indicated several items that had been taken out
of the Housing Niaintenance Code that Staff had re-added.
Ms. Suhrbier felt that Section Z20.o65, item 2 Minimum fieating

Maintenance Cede ti•rould be based on the enforceneni of the Code,

the Code r�ould be enforced before they ���i11 act on the item,
He aske�' t�fr. Boardman hor� the proposed Housing Maintenance Code
�vould be enforced.
t4r, Boardnan said that most likely the fire inspectors tivould
be given the added responsibiZity of enforcing the Housing
htaintenance Code. fIe said that it ��ras felt that most likely
one additional Inspector rrould be hired and they would all
be trained as to ti��hat to look for and consider rrhen they make
their inspections.
Chairperson Harris requested that an.Enforcement Policy
including the methods and costs should be t�rorked out by
Staff before the proposed Housing I�iaintenance Code goes to

Mr. Langenfeld began the discussion by indicating the changes
that the Fridley �,nvironr.,ental Commission had proposed r:hen they
