to the "mid.night flyer"' form of camp��ign lit;erature, and th�,t it
will seek to curb its use in the fut�u.rz by p�.ssing a Fair Carnpai�n
Practices law. This law would prohibit in any Fr.idley city election '
the prepa.ration, printing� and�or dis�tribu�ion of ne:,r campaign

any person or �roup planning to distribute li-terature for or
against a candiciat� or issue must file a co�y of that literature
with the city prior to its distribution. Furthermore no can�idate,
candidate committee, political party, oi• orgariized group shall
� spen@ in a campaign for a candidate or for an issus to be in a
ballot, a tatal sum of money greater than _ per va �er

Mr. Peter Fleming
Administra.tive 1lssistant
6�,31 University Ave. I1E
Friciley, i��nl 55�+32
Dear Ivir. Fleming:
/ • /, �� �'
�, i ; .
I,� ,
This is in response to your inquiry concerning the petition received by the Fridley
eity council reques�ting passaoe of a"fair campai�;n practices" ordinance. This
ordinance vrould limit the amount :*�hich a candidate could spena on his campaign; �rrould
prohibit the printin�, prepar.ation, or distribution of netiv campaign litera�ure later
than 8!� hours before the po7_ls open; and ti�ould require i:hat all campaign literature
m�st be filed 1�ith the city prior to distribution. As vre discussea, in attempting
to determine if the city has the potiver to pass such an ordinance, 1;�=ro separate
questions arise; first, has the state preempted the field in regulating campaign
practices so that no additional Zocal regulation is possible? �1nd second, would
the proposed regulatio�zs be constitutionai?
The state Fair Campaign Practices Ch. 219A, currently �imits eampaign e�penditures
in local elections to one third of the arsival salary of the position. ?di.S. ?1C�.22.
M.S. 210A.J.1 prohibits campaigning on the day of an election. Thus, it is clear
that there is stat� regulation in these areas. The T.�,innesota court in l:angold J:Lid•�rest
Co. v. Village of Richfie�d, 27!� T�nn 3�7, 143 Nj'I 2d gl3 (1966 ), spelled out i,he
follorring test for determing `�hether the state has preemp�ted the field: 1�1'hen the
legislature has not so completely regulated a field or has not ind�cated that a field
is solely a matter of state concern, and the subject matter of the regulation is not
of such a nature that local regulation would have adverse effects upon the genexal
papulace of the s�tate, then the legisla�.urevTill not be considered to have preempted
the field and, lacal regulation �;ill be permitted, The court also stated that ar�
ordinance coul.d not conflict tivith a statute, noting that a conflict exists �vhere the
ordin�nce forUids lrhat the statute expressl,y perm:its. Ai1 ordinance may, hocrever, go
beyond a statute and forbid conduct not, covered by the statute, so ].on� as that
conduct is not expressly permitted by the statute.
It tivould npi appear that the state has co�npletely preempted the field of campaign
regulation. A city's campai�n regu.lations �vould seem to hsve little effect, adverse
or othei�:ise, on the general pegulace of the state. Tlie court has also noted that
the size of a ci�ty may make necessary more stringent regulations than are needed in
the remainder of the state. State v. C.larlce Plumbin�; and ltP:�tin�, Inc, 253 niinn 192,
56 N�Y 2d 667. The remaining ques tion �•�ould be �vhetiier the pro�osed ordin�ice ���otild
conflict �vith the statutz. There seems to be only one clause in the rclevaiit statutes
which "expi•essly permits" conduct rvhich the orduzance migh�t prohiUit. 1�4.5. 210A.2�'.,
in limiting expenditures, states ".., with the minimum allotved, �100." This provisiun
could Ue eons�trued a� proliibiting the city form rest�rictin� expendi.tures to le�s
than �100. PresumZbly, thaugh, expenditures could be limited to an amount l.ess than
one—'�Illl•d of i;he annual snitlljr� so long as at 1��st $100 �vzis allo�red.

a
Thc stickier yuestion is ;�rhe�thex` thcre v✓otx7_d be cans�t:i.tutiona2 prob]_ems V�ith �tYae
propos�d ordinances. Ii; is clear �that each of the pr.�posed regulc�.i;ions would in
sorne �vay lirait 1,he r.i.�ht of free speech. In r.evaevr�n� re�ula�t;ions ti;�hich affect
fund�:mental ri.�h-Ls, the test applied by �t;he cou.rL is ti��he�;her thc regulai;ion is
necessury to protect a corrmellin; sta�e interest. In I3uckle,y v. Va.l_eo, �.l� L�'1 /�127
(1976), the U.S. Supreme Court held unconstil;utional federal statutory provisions
�•ihich limited campai�;n er.penditures, statin� "No governmental interest that has
been suggested is suff'icient to justify the restriction on the quantity of political
expression imposed by. .. cam��ai�ri erpendii;ure limitations."
The Court di.d a11o�v )_imits on the amount an individual cot�ld contribute to a campaign
on the basis that �i;his serves a compelling interest in assuring thai; officE holders
�vill not be beholden to large contributors ���ho may expect a quid pro quo. But �he
Court used quite strong language in refusing to allovr limitations on expenditures,
eii;lier Uy Lhe candida-te personally or by othErs in his beliali ( so long as 1;�7e e�cp�n-
dituz�es on a candidate's behalf are not coordinated before-hand s�rith the candidate. )
The Court e�cplicitly considered and rejected the arg��ment 1;hat limiting expenditures
makes the election process more fair by lessenii� the advantage of wealthy, stating
that "the concept that government may restrict the speech of some...in order to
enhance the relative voice of other•s is wholly foreign to the First Amendmen�."
Thus, the proposed expenditure limi�,ations would appear unlikely to pass constitu-
tional muster. ( Note that this y�ould seem -�o hold true �crf' -the limits in M. S. 21Q1�. 22
as well. ) '
The petition also requests a time limit on distributing literature, in order to allor,r
time for rebuttal. Again here, the "compelling interest" test wauJ_d have to be met.
Given the Cour-t's r�jection of "fairne �s" as a reason for :�es�i�ric-ti��g speech, it
seems doubtful that sueh a provision would stand. Note too that if the concern is
that false information is being circulated at the last minute, the statutes themselves
provide a remedy y�hich does not raise constitutional questions. Circulating false
campaign information is a gross misdemeanor, and conviction results in forfeiture of
office. A�I.S. 210A.0%; iVI.S. 210A.�+2. If violations occur, the election may also be
eontested under Ch. ?_:09.
Similar problems svould seem to arise with an attempt to require filin� of ca�paign
literature �vith the city prior to distribution. The U.5. Supreme Court nas mad� it
clear that an ordinance ���hich requires political or religious li.terat�ure to be filed
and reviel�ed in any r�aV by a city officer �vill be invalid as a prior restraint on
Pree speech. Schneider v. IrvinQton, 308 US 147, 81� Led 155, 60 S.Ct. 146 (1939)•
Since the city can not legitimatelST require that they reviesv literature before its
dis�ribution, it is difficult to see �vhat compElling interest woul_d require sub-
mission prior to distribution. Note that it �vould seem to be i;,�permissa�3.e to
require filing in or@er to allo;v the candidate's opponents an opportunity t•o be a�sare
of and respond to the literature being distributed; since this �aould seem to amount
to limiting one person's right to spealc for the purpose of enhancing another person's
riglit to speak. Regulation f'or this sort of purpose appears to be ruled out by
Buckle,y v. �TZleo, supr.a.

It is perhaps also �°�artii mer�ti.or�inn i;hat a bare requirement to file li�;erature,
•rritl7 r.c> revi.����� �f any sort being contemplated, ri�.�;ht in ii,self have a"chilling
rffec�' on ti�,e eyericse of free sp�ech, and ttius be impermissal,�e. See, for example,
L•ir,^,�nC v. Postrnas�er General, �81 U.S. 301 (1q65 ).
In .�u:r�:�ary, although 1oca1 campaign re�ulations vrhich go beyond the statutes v�ould
r�pp:�rently be possible under �:".innesota lav�, the particular sorts of regulations
�u,�;;es�ed �vould involve sorne serious constitutiona7_ questions.
'tou �z1so asked me to look for articles vrhich might be useful in researching the
rsre�► of c<�mnaign re�u].ation. Unfortunately, I ilave been iznable to find anything

ADMINISTRATION POLICY PLAN TO MINfhSIZE IMPACT OF COMMERCIAL,
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT ON NA7URAL WATER RESOURCES OF FRIDLEY
1 Methods involving additions/alterations to existing buildings in
existing plats:
Rooftop detention
Increase open space and landscaping by reducing hard surface
areas by requiring proper setbacks of parking lots and driving
aisles
Eliminate paving of screened storage areas
Reduce parking areas where 1) commercial/industrial activity
warrants less than code and, 2) open space is provided for
potential parking expansion if needed.
'A. Examptes of use of ene or more of above methods:
Machining lr�c., l.iberty Street
Berkeley Pump, Ely Street � Ashton Avenue
Industrial Spray Painting, Ashton Avenue � Ironton Street
Lampert Lumber, TH 65 � Osborne Road
VFW, Osborne Road � TH 65
Park Construction, Beech Street � 81st Avenue
CUB Warehouse, Osborne Road � Commerce Lane
Totino's, Commerce Lane
fi Methods invoiving new development on existing plats:
Rooftop detention
Parking lot detention/retention
Baffle weirs to reduce pollution �
Ponding or retention/detention basin construction
Use of existing ditches in lieu of extension of storm setver piping
Eliminate paving of screened storage areas
Reduce parking areas where 1) commerciat/industrial activity
warrants tess than code and 2) open space is provided for �
potential parkin_g expansion if needed.
A. Exampies of use of one or more of above methods:
The Preserve, Main Street � 83rd Avenue
Ziebart, Rice Creek Road � Central Avenue
Industrial Warehouse along east side of Ranchers Road, 77th Avenue
to 79th Avenue
ROA Mfg., Mississippi Street
House of Lords, 83rd Avenue and University Avenue
Perkins, 74th Avenue and University Avenue
GTE Sylvania, 53rd Way � Industria) Blvd.
_

�
�
Natural Water Resources, Fridley
�
111 Miethods involving new developments on new plats:
Storm sewer systems which include ponding, retentian/detention
and open ditches
Rooftop and parking lot retentian/detention
Baffie weirs fio reduce pollution
Eliminate paving of screened storage areas
Reduce parking areas where 1) commercial/industrial activity
warrants less than code and 2) open space is provided for
potential parking expansion if needed.
A. Examples of use of one or more of above methods:
(there have not been many recently approved commercial/industrial
plats except for the following, however, it is planned that methods
incorporated into several residential plats would be followed; i.e.
Munn�s Hillcrest Addition, Harris Lake Estates and the Innsbruck
North plats. These indicate use of retention/detention basins,
ponding areas and open ditches)
East Ranch Estates 3rd Addition
Herwall Rice Creek Terrace
B. Additional Information:
Through recent discussions, developers and property owners of yet
unplatted and undeveloped property have been requested to only
present plans and propasals including the above methods. Areas
include the following (note attached map):
1. Area bounded by 77th Avenue, Main Street, Osborne Road
and Burlington Northern Railroad tracks
2. Area bounded by 83rd Avenue, TH 47, Main Street and 81st
Avenue
3. Area bounded by 83rd Avenue, Main Street, Hickory Street
and 81st Avenue.
IV Considerations in implementation of Policy Plan:
1. In most cases, existing plats and existing storm sewer systems
were previously approved with the only consideration being
removal of storm water runoff. This leads developers and
property owners to believe that they only need to satisfy
zoning code and building code requirements.
2. Present zoning codes, in numerous cases, confiict with
objective of Policy Plan. Specifically, lot coverage, parking
requirements and screening methods lead to conflict.
.... ... _._ _. ..__ _ —.__ x

Natural Water Resources, Fridley
3. It is more desirabte to handlc storm �aater runoff through a
systems approach provided by the City through appropriate
assessing procedures than trying to force an individual
property owner to solve or minirnize an area problem.
4. Downstream or outfall systems should be improved prior to
or concurrent with upstream improvement and development in
order to minimize imp�ct on downstream properties.
5. Businessmen and commerciat/industrial property owners are
beginning to comment on how the City is "anti-business"
and requires developers to spend additional money while not
realizing what they feel would be full potential of their
property.

_ D/�TE: JUNE 2, 1978
T0:
FROM:
NASIM QURESHI, CITY MANAGER
PETFR FLEMICdG, ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT
SUBJECT: MEMORIAL TO COUNCILMAN RAYMOND E. SHER�DAN
I have investigated some possibilities for a plaque honoring Mr. Sheridan.
There are, of course, a number of variables including size, text, quality,
placement and future planning, security, etc.
I suggest that three options be considered:
1) BRONZE TABLET similar to but perhaps slightly smaller than the
12" by 13" bronze dedication plaque currently in the entrance
hallway. The cost u�rill be appr�ximately $135. (The current
dedication bronze plaque cost $81 in 1967.)
2) THE FRIDLEY SHAPED WOJDEN PLAQUE with a gold plate (Iam told the
lettering is easier to read on a gold plate than on a silver plate)
already in stock with a minimal 10¢ ��er letter charge for the
wording.
3) A PLAIN RECTAfVUULAR WALf�UT PLRQUE '�JI1�H A P�ATN RECTI�NGULAR GOLD
PLATE slightly smaller than the current bronze dedication plaque
at a cost of approx�mately $75 to �2.0 for the wood�n background
and abaut 10� per letter for ►.�ording.
Additional items to be considered:
SIZE: I suggest the plaque be slightly sma7ler �han the dedication
plaque so as not to overpower and also to facilitate future planning.
7EXT: Six suggested texts are attached.
QUALITY: I have received mixed messages relative to the plate used on wooded
p7aques. No distribu�or will guarantee against discoloring of the
metal plate. However, each retailer suggests that occasional cleaning
with regular furniture polish will preserve both the wood and the
plate indefinitely. Our bronze plaque requir°es virtually no upkeep
and is clearly of superior quality.
CONSISTENCY The wooden plaque will provide a significant contrast and more easily
AND/OR draw the attention of the viewer. However, the severe contrast may
CONTRAS7�: exacerbate the q�ality differential.
PLACEMENT I attach a sketch of various options for placement and possible
AND FUTURE future plaques.
PLt�NNING:
�
, SECURITY: The bronze plac�ue comes with four sturdy bolts for solid insertion
in �he wall. ihis is clearly the mos'c desirabTe. Hc�wever, if
future planning necessitates a cha��g� in design including mo��ing
a bronze plaque, there is need to paich and touch up the holes in
