This item is to be considered later in the meeting when the applicant � arri�es. �_,; � GUS OOTY; 6299 UNIVERSITY AVENUE N.E.: Mr. Sobiech, Pubiic Works Director, stated this is a request for variances . for a parcel of property at University and 63rd Avenues. He stated the property is zoned commercial and an office buitding will be constructed on this site. The three variances requested are as follows: (1)reduction of the driveway from the property right-of-way line from 75 feet to 40 feet; (2)reduce the setback from the right-of-way line from 80 feet to 35 feet; and (3)reduce the required side yard from 75 feet to 5 feet. Mr. Sobiech stated the Appeals Cortmission has recortmended approval of these variance requests. Councilman Hamernik questioned if there would be a treffic probten with the driveway setback. Mr. Sobiech felt it would be more of a problem to have the traffic flow on the service drive rather than on 63rd Avenue. Councilmari . Hamernik also questioned the artaunt of "green" area. Mr. Sobiech stated the variance from the public right-of-way to the buiiding would take away a lot of the green" area space, but that it would have as much "green" area � as otfter commercial establishments. Counci7man Hamernik questioned the number of parking spaces and asked how many were required. Mr. Sobiech stated they have six extra parking spaces from what is required by the code. Mr. Sobiech explained there would have to be some type of re- . taining wall, or regrading would have to be done, to take into account the . differences in elevation of the property to the south. Mr: Dave Harris, part owner of property to the south, stated he discussed this matter with Mr. Doty and realizes the difficulty in r,aking use of this piece of property. He stated, as long as the building lines up with the bank and . their building, he could see no problems. He stated ne does see a problem with changing the setback from the required 15 feet to 5 feet. He felt this setback should be at least 10 feet to save the integrity of their building, and suggested decreasing the setback from 63rd Avenue from 35 feet to 3D feet. Mr. Doty indicated he had no objection to Mr. Harris' suggestion of a 70 feet setback from the south property line and a 30 foot setback from the north or 63rd Avenue. Mr. Herrick, part owner of property to the south, stated he felt this would be a better situation as they have had erosion prnble� in the past on their property. Mr. Harris felt, as�part of the approval, retaining wal)s should be required on the south side of the building to help prevent erosion. Mr. Doty explained it was necessary to have parking in front of the building in order to meet the code requirements. Mr. Herrick thought possibly they could have some steps at the south of Mr. . Doty s property leading to the parking lot of their property. He stated, he hasn't discussed this matter with his partners, but possibly something could be worked out for Mr. Doty to use some of their parking since he felt their parking lot was never filled. Mr. Herrick felt, if parking can be avoided in the front of the building, it vrould be a better situation. Mr.'Doty stated he didn't feel they needed all the parking required, but had to include it in the plan since.it was required by the code. ,. 27 4 REGUTAR f�EETING OF NOVEMBER 6> 1978 PAGE 4 Wuncilman Schneider staCed he understands then there would be a variance r ghttof-wayuonethe5north would bee30 feet instead ofethe bequiredm80hfeetb1ic reement with the property owners�to the south; and in the event there would be no variance on the driveway since there would be a parkin9 ot Sharin9 ag mpre parking would be needed, the City could require it on the west and wor with the Droperty owners to the south to use the existing driveway.

He stated he would recortenend Ms. Lindgren obtain an attorney to resolve this matter as he feels it is a legal matter that the City cannot do anything about since it is not a buildable lot. Ms. Lindgren again asked why the lot was assessed. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated it was assessed by a formula the City uses to the extent that the City felt the property benefitted. He stated, if no objection was raised at the time of the assessment hearing,.it is too late to make an objection now. Mr. Herrick felt it would be beneficiat for Ms. Lindgren and Mr. 67oom to get together to talk because there is a serious question wfiether it is a buildabte piece of property and there is the question that Mr. Bloom is using this property, which P7s. Lindgren could stop. Councilman Hamernik stated he understands Ms. Lindgren's predicament, but woutd der�y the variance and felt ii would be a waste of effort to app7y for a lot split since he could not support approva) of a variance to make this a buildable lot. Mr. Herrick pointed out the non-conforming use on this parcel is now gone and it is not the obligation of the City to permit another non- conforming use. Councilman�Schneider stated he shared Councilman Hamernik's view as he felt it would be irresponsible to grant a lot split on the property since it is not a buildable lot.

' ��CONSIDERATION OF REAPPROVAL OF MUNN'S HILLCREST ADOITION (TAELED 9/71/78, 9/25/78 : Mr. Sobiech, Public Works Director, stated this item was tabled from the last Council meeting in order to allow staff time to discuss this plat and drainage with the Burlington Northern Railroad. Mr. Sobiech stated, in contacts with Burlington Northern, the City Attorney has received a negative response regarding use�of the drainage ditch. Mr. Sobiech fElt this would leave open only the alternative suggested by Burlington Northern which would involve construction of a pipe. Mr. Sobiech stated, in meeting with the developer, staff has come to the conclusion the City could�allow development on the existing five platted lots with some stipulations to those buiiding permits. He felt the City would have to insist on a draina9e plan that would insure that the water coming from the North onto these lots would be maintained and handled on those lots; that Hiticrest Avenue 6e improved from the North edge of Lot 5 through to Hickory Drive; and provisions made for handling the drainage resulting from the construction of Hillcrest Avenue. Mr. Sobiech stated, at the present time, there is an outstanding resolution I. rihich ordered the improvement of Hillcrest Avenue and Blair Way and this '�,. could be modified for the improvement of Hillcrest only. He stated, with ' � i(,the improvement, there would be pending assessments on the lots. He.felt ' ( affidavits should be filed so that the persons purchasing these lots are aware that the rear yards of the properties are holding�ponds for drainage i purposes. Mr. Qureshi, City Mana9er, felt easements should be obtained on these lot� for drainage and ponding; a plan should be submitted to take care of all the� drainage from the IJOrth plus the five Tots they would be building on; and an access anA drainage easement be provided on the southerly portion of Lot 9. He felt> if these conditions are met, the developer could proceed and the Council authorize the issuance of the building permits on the five lots. Mr. Qureshi felt this certainty was not the best approach regarding the draina9e for the area and would not solve the problem on the properties to the south of this development. He felt it would 6e better for the developer to escrow $2,000 per lot in order to develop all 9 lots of previous proposed plat and an improvement made for the drainage. Mr. Libra, Attorney representino the petitioners, stated the items discussed by Mr. Sobiech regarding drainage, ponding and street constructior. were satisfactory with the petitioner, but questioned an access easement on Lot 9. He felt if thi5 was required, there woutd be a problem in locating a house on this lot. �I j� Mr. Qureshi explained this would involve only about a 12 foot easement for both access and drainage and felt, therefore, 9t wouldn't infringe on the I�' building site for�this lot. Mr. Libra stated, if this was the case, there would be no objection to the easement. ( Fir. Libra requested action by the Council so builAing could proceed on the five lots. He stated he appreciated the Council's r,onsideration and work the staff and City Attorney has done in this matte.r and regretted they couldn't ; obtain approval fran 6urlington Northern. � 256 REGULAR MEF.TING OF OCT08ER 2, 1978 PAGE 3 Mayor Nee stated he was grateful to the petitioners Por working so well with the City in trying to reach'a 6etter solution. NATION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to direct the administration to issue building permits on the present five platted lots contingent on the developer submitting a plan that would provide for drainage on these lots and ponding on the back of each lot; provide for drainage from property to the North and property whose drainage would be cut off by development of Hiltcrest Avenue; provide a drainage pending easement on the back of each lot; and to provide a 12 foot access and drainage easement on the southerly side of Lot 9. Seconded by Councilman Hamernik. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. � CONSI�ERATION OF �DDING ONTO LIpUOR STORE AT HOLLY CENTER (TABLED 9/25/78J: � Mr. Brunsell, Finance Director•, stated some additional information has been submitted to the Council primarily covering the relationship of sales to square footage of some of the nei.ghboring municipal liquor stores. Mr. Brunsell felt there wasn't arly real pattern to the figures presented, except there is an indication that you have to have a certain size store and certain volume of sales in order to made a profit. �� Mr. Brunsell sWted the reason the proposal is before the Council is that they want to be equipped to handle more business at the Ho11y Center store. Mr. Bob McGuire, Liquor Store Manager, felt, with this addition, they could handle the volume of business for the Holly Center store. He stated their biggest problem is not enough storage space and room for display. ,� Councilman Schneider stated, in looking at the 'statistics, obviously the � sales per square foot is greater in a small store and felt, therefore, there - is not a relationship between sales and square footage. Mr. Brunsell felt each store will have to do more volume in order to meet the competition. He stated the trend is that you can't make a profit anymore in a small store. .. Councilman Schneider pointed out the store would have to have $35,000 more in.sales in order to break even.- Mr. Brunsell felt, with the addition, they would have additional wine and beer sales, since they would have the storage space and could do a better job of inerchandising. Mr. Qureshi, City I-0anager, stated the owner of Holty Center is making an investment to improve this shopping area and the addition might be a�small contribution the City could make to show that this area is �iable and has future potential. . Councilman Fitzpatrick pointed out there is need not onTy in terms of expanding, and hopefully keeping up the same average sales, but there is a space problem for the present business. Mayor Nee felt just to break even was not a factor far investment, even though it would be a nicer store, and that the ratio of sales wouldn't change with the added space. Mr. McGuire felt, with the addition, they would do more bus�iness and have additional sales or else the matter of ,the addition wouldn't have 6een brought before the CounciL � I Mr. Brunsell stated, even if the City doesn't proceed with the addition, it woutd be necessary to undertake some remodeling and improvements at the store. % Councilman Hamernik felt, since the City is in the liquor business, they should put forth an effort to improve the merchandising and, on that basis, he would be in favor of the expansion. � � MOTION 6y Councilman Hamernik to concur with the recomnendation to lease an additional 900square feet for the Nolly Center liquor store. Seconded by � Councilman Barnette. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared ,� � the motion carried unanimously. 1 � 0 257 REGULAR MEETIPlG OF OCTOBER 2,�1978 PAGE 4 NEW BUSINESS: CONSIDERATION OF SUBMITTING APPLICATION FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPM[NT BLOCK GRANT ...; BONUS FUNDS: �.. Mr. Sobiech, Publfc Works Di�rector, stated this item concerns a letter of intent to apply for Community Development B7ockGrant Bonus Funds. He stated HUD has made these bonus funds available to the Metropolitan Council for low and moderate income housing in the metropolitan area. � Mr. Sobiech outlined the program the City was proposing, if the funds were �: received. The program woultl consist of (1) Acquisition of scattered site substandard units; (2) Rental Unit Rehabilitation Loan Program; and (3) Home Ownership Assistance Program. Councilman Schneider questioned the definition of�"large families" under Item 3. Ms. Betty Christlieb, of the City staff, stated, according to Section 8� guidelines, large families would be larger than five members per household. Councilman Schneider questioned to whom the loans, under the home ownership - assistance program, would be repaid. Ms. Christlieb stated they would be repaid to the City and would be available as a revolving fund and used again for similar programs. Councilman Schneider questioned who would make a determination on what persons vrould get a loan. Ms. Christlieb stated the City would be responsible for making the determination and administering the program. Councilman Namernik questioned how the MFHA program worked. Ms. Christlieb explained, for people who qualify, the MFHA buys their mortgage and gives those qualified applicants a 6-3/4% mortgage on the property. She expiained� that people qualify through the regular channels of a lending institution and then the MFHA steps in and gives them a lower interest rate. � Councilman Hamernik questioned if the persons who qualified would always have that mortgage; and Councilman Barnette questioned if another person could -' buy or assume the mortgage. Ms. Christlieb indicated she was not sure at . . this time, but felt it might be possi6le. Councilman Hamernik questioned the wording "write down the cost of the lots" '�, under Item 1. Ms. Christlieb exp}ained that "write down" means the City '�, could sell the lot back at a very low cost. � . !� Mayor-Nee felt the lot would 6e offered at market value, however, the costs '��,, for demolition wouldn't be included. � '� Councilman Fitzpatrick questioned who determines the price at which the lot rrould be resold. Ms. Christlieb stated this would be done by the City and staff. . , . . � � . Ms. Christlieb stated, in reference to the home ownership assistance program, � the loans would have to be done through a neighborhood non-profit corporation. Mr. Sobiech explained that the bonus funds became avaitable within the last several weeks and this is the reason the matter is before the Council. He stated the deadtine for applying for the funds is October 6, 7978 and, therefore, staff wanted reaction from the Council regarding the letter of intent. r• Councilman Schneider felt the rental unit rehabilitation loan program might be � apen�to a lot of abuse and owners could intentionaliy let their buildings run � down in order to receive the loan. Mr. Sobiech stated one of the conditions to the apartment owners�receiving the rehabilitation loan would be that they offer their units for rental under the Section 8 subsidy program. Councilman Hamernik feit the City already has an adequate number of units and asked what would be gained. 25R i REGULAR MEETING OF OCTOBER 2, 1978 PAGE 5 Councilman Schneider felt the City would be bringing sub-standard units up to cade. Councilman Hamernik felt this matter would be taken care of under the maintenance code. � Councilman Fitzpatrick felt the rehabilitation loan program would facilitate the enforcement of the maintenance code. ._..., ,,,. Mr. Sobiech stated, with the rehabilitation loan program for rental units> this would provide a means of helping those land7ords for whom it would create a burden for them to bring their property�up to the standards of the housing maintenance code. � Councilman tlamernik felt this gets 6ack to the question on how they would screen the applicants and he stated he has a pro67em with subsidy for rental units. He felt, with the improvement, the landlord would then raise the rent. Councilman Schneider suggested possibly the rehabilitation loan program for rentat units could be tied in with matching or cost sharing with the landlord. Mr. Sobiech felt this might be feasible as the City Would establish the criteria which would be reviewed by HU�. Councilman Schneider stated he shared Councilman Hamernik's concern regarding the loan rehabilitation program for rental units, however, could see some benefit from parts 1 and 3 of the proposed program. Mayor Nee felt perhaps more of the funds should be used for acquisition of scattered substandard units rather then the rental unit rehabilitation loan program. Councilman Hamernik stated he is not in favor of the rental unit rehabilitation loan program. He stated he fails to see the benefit because of the 75% now qualified for Section 8 that is not being used. He stated he�has concern with the acquisition of substandard units and the relocation of people. He felt the Metro HRA public housing program would have to be eliminated and any assistance would have to-be from the MFHA. He stated he probably has the teast problem with the home ownership assistance program, although he is not totally in favor of any of the progrzms proposed. Councilman Barnette felt, with appropriate changes, he could support it on the basis that they are only seeking the funds. He felt there had to be some safeguards to insure that the funds are beirrg used proper7y. Councilman Schneider stated he would concur with Councilman Hamernik that the words "or Metro HRA public housiny program" should be eliminated under Item 7. He indicated he doesn't have any problems with the acquisition of scattered substandard units or the home ownership assistance program, however he felt there should be some safe9uards for the rental unit rehabilitation loan program. Councilman Schneider stated he would be in favor of shifting the amounts in Items 1 and 2. Mayor Nee stated he would concur with the comrnents made by Councilman Schneider. Mr. Sobiech stated he understands the Council wishes to (1) invert the monetary values of Items 1 and 2; (2) eliminate the words "or Metro HRA - public housing program" under Item 1; (3) insert a-caukinnary approach in attempting to insure that the rental unit rehabilitation loan program is not misused and should be on a cost-sharing basis; and (4) the letter of� intent to reflect that appropriate means will be taken to insure that the home ownership assistance program is•processed through the appropriate private � non-profit neighborhood corporation. �- ', MOTION by Councilman Barnette to authorize staff to submit the letter of , . intent to apply for HUD Comnunity Development Block Grant Bonus Funds with � : l.

PAGE 2 Foundation, appeared before the Council regarding a request for sewer and water to be supplied through Coon Rapids. � �. Mr. Sampson stated a plan was presented to the Council on Ap'ril 7, 1976 for� development of �the Springbrook Nature Center. He stated the plan was in two phases, the first.part which was approved by the Council.�.He pointed out the plan contemplated construction of restroom facilities on the southeast corner of tne property near the intersection of 83rd Avenue and Main Street. Mr. Sampson stated, for all prattical purposes, they have completed all the elements of Phase 1, with the exception of construction of the restroom � facilities. Mr. Sampson.stated the &�ard of the Springbrook Nature Center � Foundation has concluded that the best-site for the facilities �iould be near the parking lot area. He stated the previous site recommended vras adjacent to facilities provided by the City. He explained the site now recommended is adjacent to sewer and water supptied by Coon Rapids and stated, he understood, � there are agreements made, at times, between citi�es where hook-ups are permitted for Coon Rapids to service Fridley or vice versa. � Mr. Sampson requested the Council orepare a request to Coon Rapids to permit sewer and water service from Coon Rapids to be used at the Springbrook Park .

Sobiech explained, however, this would be�quite a long extension and the estimated cost would be $3,000 to $3,500. Mr. Sampson felt the total�footage involved for the extension would probably be about 300 feet. � I Councilman 6arnette questioned if the cost to provide�the sewer and water services would 6e paid 6y the Springbrook Natiree Center-Foundation. Mr. � Sampson stated these costs would 6e paid with the funds from the Depart- , -' � ment of Natural Resources grant. � ; 1 Mr. Sampson explained their primary purpose for getting the facilities at this tiroe is to comnit funds, under the �NR grant, before the time limit expires at the end of this year. Ne stated sewer and water facilities would be brrought to the site, however, the.restroom facilities would not be constructed at this time. . iouncilman Barnette suggested that possibly the sewer and water facilities rnuld be brought in when pl�ans are drawn for the building. Mr. Sampson�expiained�that, if the funds are not committed 6efore the end of this year, they would probably lose them. He further explained the �oundation has tvro applications to different agencies for funding. He s#ated�, he untlerstands, their request for funding has been given high priority.6y the Metropolitan Council, 6ut no cortunitments have oeen made. � Councilman Schneider questioned if there was any chance they would not need the sewer and�water faci�lities at that particular location on the property. 4 Mr. Sampson stated they have two alternatives, either to stay with the � satellites or construct something rare permanent. He stated the Board i �hasn't voted to build restroom facilities in that area, but this would j, lie his recommendation. ' Councilman Schneider asked, in the overall plan, if the building would be ilocated near the area they propose for sewer and water. Mr.�Sampson � � stated the area where they want the sewer�anG water facilities would 6e i the closest to the proposed building site. Councilman Barnette felt possibly it should be� decided where the building would be located�before proceeding with sewer and water. �' L � REGULAR 17EETING QF OCTOBER 23, 1478 PAGE 3 Mr. Sampson pointed out, if the building was not constructed, the restroom facilities would tie constructed near this tocation.

Councilman Schneider stated it was not his Sntent to have the Planning Commission review the entire Sign Ordinance. He pointed out there have been a.number of variance requests for free standin9 signs and he felt the Cotmnission should take a look at this area possibly to consider some formula based on the size of the building and setback from the main thoroughfare. Councilman Schneider stated he had no particular formvla in mind, but there might be some reasonable way of determining the size of a sign by com- parison with the size of the building and distance from the major thorough- fare. � Mr..Narris felt possibly they might consider a similar type of formula ��., they have for wali signs,�but still keep the variance procedure.

He stated, however, he�would be hesitant, based on this one case, ta say the 6urden of proof has shifted as it would seem the City has the obligation to show that by the granting af a special use permit, it would be detrimental to the City as a whole or surrounding neighborhood. Mr. Harris stated he understands then the Planning Co�renission is to continue the same policy; however, he requested copies of this particular case for the Planning Comnission to review.

FRIOLEY, MINNESOTA 66432 TELEPHONE ( &12)571•3450 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: On October 10, 1978 the Appeals Commission considered a variance to reduce the minimum requirement of 7500 square feet to 6420 square feet on a lot at 695 Fairmont Street N.E. This also requires a Special Use Permit because this property is located in flood plain zoning. (see other notice} When the staff reviewed this request, they found that the minimum square footage of gross floor area of this new construction was 720 square feet instead of the required 768 square feet, and that the setback from the Mississippi River Corridor was 85 feet instead of the 10� feet required in the standards and guidelines as laid out by the interim Developr�ent Regulations for the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area. The Appeals Co�nission did grant these variances at their meeting of October lOth, 1978, but these requests also have to go on to the Planning Comnission and City Council. If you want to make any comnents on these variances, or the Special Use Permit, you may do so at the Planning Carmission meeting of October 25th at 7:30 P.M. -�-.. . h.we� r.o. ,wn.,.rnr bsri� do�� �re rMi�s/ icak.l "•3 0 • �KETTH �M.

She stated she had a report writtea by Rathy Kemper, a League of Women Voters memher, oa a meeting at vhich Mr. Tom Holloraa, a member of MAC (Metropolitan Airports Cooeuission) had spoken. Ms. Metcalf stated that the report told her that there was no reason to get excited about the airport. Yor right now, before getting all carried away with alarm about MAC's and Metropolitan Council's plans regarding the north airport, she a[ated she would like to read the report to the Commission. She stated this looked to be another big alarm like the wetlands in Inriebruck. Ms. Sporre stated that nowhere in the report did it saq that lir. Aolloran was speaking on behalf of MAC; he happened to be a�mber of MAC. Mr. Holloran was suppoaed to be speaking on the subject, "The Economic Climate 3n the Upper Midwest". It 1e- enforced what the Commission had addressed--that there was the lack of a responsible person who could speak for the agency in responae to what their position was. lte. Spone stated that she had brought along a copy of the final draft of the"Aviation Chapter of the Me[ropolitan Development Guide" zrhich was voted on and approved by Metropolitan Council oa December 22, 1977; and was their official document. In this plan, Metropolitan Council outlined solutions to problems, both ia the south part of the city and the north part of the city. E13VIRONMENTAL QUALITY COPAiLSSION MEETING, OCTOBER 17, 1978 - PAGE 3 Ms. Sporre stated that the plan outlined where Anoka County was to be moved from minor to intermediate status. This enabled the Metropolitan Airports Co�ission to use 8,000 foot runways at Anoka County. There was.also a proposal in that document for instrument landing equipment which would significantly ehange the.role of Anoka County Airport. • Ms. Sporre stated she felt that very significant decisions outlined ia the plaa could impact very heavily on Fridley. On page 40 of the document, Aaoka County'Blaine, Jane�s Field was outlined as an intermediate airport. They suggest precision operation classi- fication increase and notewortt�,yfacility improvements, which waa what they were proposing in their terminology as a role chaage: runway construction, instrumentation, improved lighting, aprona, building areas, and ground services. She said by delving into ' - the document further, you found out what intermediate meant, and it meaat authorization for 8,000 foot runways. There was a lot of deception involved with this issue, and.it was alazming how maay people were involved in this deception. That was why she had referred to the official doc�mment voted on by Metropolitan Council and approved by MAC. In this document, an intermediate airport was in a category authorized to,8,000 feet. The bottom range for a major airport was 8,000 feet. The Commiasioa had, if they gave their consentiag vote to City Council, authorized Chat kind of expaasion. She did not think that was what the public had done and did aot think that was what the public had beea aware of. Ms. Sporre atated that to pursue this further, she had attended a meeting in Moundsview on May 31, 1978, at which there was a dele- gatioa from Fridleq. Ed McGaa, Maaager for Secondary Airports employed by MAC, and E3 Hammel were there. Ms. Sporre stated she could testify to the fact that what was being proposed was extending the runways north 3,000 feet and allowing, with the present runaay, for an expansion of 4,000 feet. Their argument for doiag this was to alleviate the environmental impact on the north residenta. They agreed to paint x's,on the southem 3,0�0 feet so it would not be used. The residents found little reassurance in that. Ma. Sporre stated she had a written statement from Ms. Jan Schaula, 8375 Eastwood Road, in which Ms. Schauls pointed out that with the "Metropolitan Development Guide" allowing expansion to 8,000 feet, what was to stop MAC from removing the painted x's when they found it undesireable to have shorter runways2 Ms. Sporre stated this was a testimony to the fact that Ms. Schauls was at the meeting and that Ms. Schauls believed this to'be a aigaifieant reallty.' . . -. i BNVIROHI4ENTAL QUALITY COIMIISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 17, 1978 - PAGE 4 Ms. Sporre stated that Ma. Metcalf had brwght up the important point that the Coumission had to look at dates. She atated that nothing had changed in the eyes of Metropolitan Council. Ms. Sporre atated that she felt the next information was very significant in understandiag reality in this issue. She had aa Airport Layout Plan dated Jan. 19, 1977, which was provided to her by a resident in Moundsview, and which she believed to be official. It showed the runways at Anoka County Airport in acreage. She wanted the Co�ission to notice that the present runway was , 4,855 feet long. The ultimate runway shown was 9,000 feet. The ultimate ruaway for the east/west runway was 6,000 feet. The land was there and Metropolitan Council had alzeady givea suthorization for 8,000 feet. It was s matter of semantics. llr. Peterson stated that this did not necessarily mean that theae runways wwld be built. Ms. Sporre read a letter to the editor from Hr. Gordon 0. Voas, State &epresentative 47B, published in the "Circulating Pines", page 2, dated Septemher 28, 1978, in reaponse to a letter Ms. Johnson had vritten to the paper: "The letter last week about the Aaoka Couaty Airport and the possibility of its expansion is very perceptive. The warning in the letter deserves re-enforcemeat. I have taken a positioa in opposition to the airport expansion for reasons outlined below, but first let me suggest that the problem is evea more severe thah the letter writer indicates. Not oaly doea it appear that there are forces pushing for the airport expansion, but [he attempted move of tbe 29 Na[ional Gnard helicopters fr� St. Paul to the Anoka County Airport isn�t dead either." Ms. Spor.re atated that Mr. Voss explained his reasons for oppositian. At the conclusion of the letter, Mr. Voss stated that last spring at the Local Government Goamittee, he had offered several amendments to MAC to halt new construction at Anoka County Airport until the airport's plan was rethought. The amendments were not passed and all that was gained was time. "Out local governments must now reach a concenaus for action and express their positioa. Strong local opposition seems necessary to protect our co�unity." • Ms. Sporre stated that if they did not respond at the November 9th hearing, they would have missed a fine opportunity. She stated that quite a few local communities had gone on record opposing the Anoka County Airport expansion. The Erivironmental Commissioa of New Brighton had precipitated action by the New Brighton City • Council in requesting an opposition to that expansion. She vould eacourage this Co�ission to go on secord with such an . oppoaition. a.—. i� .� ENVIBONMENTAI. QUALITY COhII�IISSION MEETING OCTOBER 17, 1978 - PAGE 5 Ms. Seeger stated she thought it was extremelq interestiag that Mr. Tom Holloran was supposed to speak on "The Economic Climate. in the Upper Midvest", yet he spoke eatirely about an airport. (!!s. Metealf laft the meeting at 8:30 p.m.) ' Ms. Sporre read the October 17, 1978, report from Ms. Johnsoa to the Commission. Ms. Sporre highlighted the following portions to be ineluded ia the minutes: • Page 1, paragraph 5: "Flying Cloud Airport's longest runway is only 3,600 feet; whereas Anoka County Airport's longest runway is 4,900 feet. Flying Clwd as of 1972 was the 14th busiest airport in tke world. The ' loagest runway, according to my husbaud's flight chart, � is 10,0�70 feet at Minaeapolis/St. Paul International." page 3, paragraph 4; "Star, 11/7/72, 'Consultant Robert Jcerger of Peat, Marwick, Mitcbell t� Co., San Fraacisco, Calif., estimated that about $240 millioa of the coat caa be provided through federal funds. "' • Ms. Spone stated that on page 16 of the "Citizen League Report", it stated that the FAA was requested by MAC to express its views concerning the development of a second major airport ia the Aaoka County area. These views were expressed at various times in 1967 and at,the hearings in 1968 where the FAA noted that their analysis of the system in the 1�in Cities' area indicated that the capacity of International would be reached prior to 1977. They further concluded that the only logical airport that could be expaaded for use by large craft was Anoka County Airport. iis. Sporre stated she had a letter dated October 17, 1978, from tis. Jan Schauls regarding noise pollution. Ms. Sporre stated that � the State Standards were such that the decibel level was 65 db at L10. Ms. Schauls had stated that there was no limit to the loud- ' aesa of airport noise. dated Oct a voice vote dec Ms. Sporze stated that monitoring by MPCA had shown violatioas at Anoka County Airport. If MnDOT adopted State Standards, they could enforce the violations Ms. Schaul had reported in her Letter Mr. Yeterson stated he did aot see what.good that would do when International was violating the State Standards. � '2E . � BNVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COtMlISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 17, 1978 PAGS 6 Ms. Sporre stated ehat the argument MAC was using vas they needed Go alleviate the noise problem by relocating. ?Ir.Langenfeld stated it would be kind of ridiculous to move and ttart putting jets with the smaller aircraft when that was the problem. Re stated that 7UG of air traffic was aupposedly general aiseraft. Ms. 3porre atated she would like the Environmental Quality Camniasion to cancur with the New Brighton Environmental Coumission�s seco�mendation in the April 6, 1978,"New Brighton Bulletin", where the New Brighton Enviro�ental Commission went on record requesting the city to direct their city attorney to take legal means appropriate to preventing any status change of the airport until it could be datermined that such a change would not degrade the health, welfare, ' safetp, and environment of the citizens of New Brighton. Me. Seeger stated that as a citizen of F=idley, her childrea were children of Fridlcy, but they alsc atteaded school in Cooa Rapids. Ser children would be forced to go to school under the flight patteras of the aorth/south ruaways and to go to activities at St. Timothy's under the flight patteros of the east/west runways. Ms. Seeger stated that as a citizen, she felt gzeatly deceived by the MnDOT Plan. She felt there was a deception• in not clarifying vhat they were really.going to do. She felt irate about it, because she did not think the MnDOT people were aincere and honest about vhat the projections were going to be. She thought this deception . ahould be brought up ia front of MnDOT. Ms. Spone stated she would like to see the city officials express this Coumission's position at the public heariag. It Was her understanding that the city staff repzesentative would be the offieial spokesman at the public hearing to give this as ehe official poaition of the City of Fridley. Ms. Leek stated he ehought it would be more appropriate for someone from the Environmeatal Quality Coumission to express their position • a[ the public hearing, rather than relying on staff to express their opiaioa for them, partially because he was not aure if staff would 1 ENVIROHI�fENTAL QUALITY COI�IISSION MEETING OCTOBER 17, 1978 - PAGE 7 � be in complete coneurrence ar not, and also becauae they were a � aitizen's cammittee with particulaz concerns. 2.

She had a real problem dealing with it, because of tha way thiags had goae ia the past, for example, the noise ordinaace. She did aot waat to spend many hours refining an ordinance. 2lr. Langenfeld stated that one of the reasons for the proposed changes in the Zoaing Ordinance was to eliminate a lot of the unnecessary thiags'. Mr. Leek stated that one of the major chaages was organization to make the 2oning Ordinance a more workable zoning code far. day to day queations. Ia addition, there were nev areas, such as the S-2 District Regulatioas - Creek and fliver Preservatioa Dietrict. ?Sr. Langeafeld stated he thought it was a good document for the planning level and the key to decision-making as far as the development that wsa going on. Ms. Sporre expressed concern about old gas stations that were not used ae gas stations any longer and had turned into car repair lots. Juak ears were repaired and sold, but these lots kept bringing in more aad more junk cars. She noted that the new proposed zoning code had deleted "IIsed Car Lot".

Ma. 5porre stated there was nothing in the ordinance on how a developer should protect the natural amenities of the land. MS. Sporre stated that one of the Commission's goals was to "recognize aseas impacted by large acale public and private development as critical areas and activities and subject them to coatrol". She stated that the Zoning Code should in same way ideatify activities that were sigaificantly ` important. There had to be some parameter for high scale activities. ZSr. Leek stated that if the Co�ission had any specific Queations relating to the 2aiing Ordinance, he would appreciate having them call or come ia so that these questions could be put together for the next meetiag. Mr. Peteraoa referred to pages 23-A and 23-B regarding "Noise". He stated that there should be a referral to the Noise Ordinance in addition to the State Standards. 4. CONTINUBD: FIELD TRIP.

Aeapectfully aubmitted, � 1i.-fe_Cuidsi� Lqnne'Saba Recording Secretasy �F ; • MEMO T0: MnDOT r MEMO fROM: The.Fridley Environmental Quality Ca►mission Mp�90 DATE:. � RE: Mn/DOT/PL{W DraFt ..., ; The Fridley Environmentat Quality Camnission recognizes that the Mn/DOT/PLAN � 15 an attempt by MnDOT to involve as many citizens, government and elected officials as possible in the State's transportation pianning process. In that regard the plan seems to be successful, and we congratulate McflOT for involving as many people as they have in the planning process. After reviewing the draft, however, the Fridley Environmental Quality Cortmis- sion feels that it does not fully address Minnesota's long-range transporation needs and leaves severat presssing questions unanswered. � The following is a list of our concerns. � 1. .Transit The Comnission is deeply concerned that.the MnDOT/P7an does not fully address the potential uses and impacts of pubiic mass transit. The Cortmission belteves this to be especially important in light of the increasing need for energy efficiency. , _ 2. Aeronautics Moka County Airport, Blaine, (Jane's Fietd) The Fridley Environmental Quality Commission opposes the upgrading of Jane's Field to "intermediate airport" status unless the following questions are answered, and the answers show no public harm. "Location of All Publicly Owned Airports in Minnesota" (figure 1, p. 2-2) � "' Moka County Airport (Jane's Field} is indicated as a"KEY SYSTEM" airport rather than an "INTERMEDIATE" airport. The Comnission is alarmed by this and would like clarification of its meaning in terms of increased traffic volumes, maximum size of permitted craft, proposed holding, landing and take-off patterrts and projected noise levels over residential areas surrounding the.airport. "List of Deferred Projects Aeronautics" (Page B-117} The Commission would like MnDOT to identify the potential sites for new airport construction indicated in this section. "Capital Im rovements and Grants-In Aid Programs" (Page B-99� The Comnission wonders what improvements the budgeted $600,000 are intended for, and how these improvements will affect the field's capacity. �- • M�no To MnDot, Fran Fridley Environmental Quality Carrnission Page 2 2� The Envirormental Quality Comnission would also like to know if and when an Environmental Impact Statement will be done far the proposed upgrading of Jane's Field. 3. I. 694 and North#own Corridor River Crossings It is unclear just where in the MnDot Plan draft the Northtown Corridor is referred to because of inconsistencies in language. These inconsistencies shoutd be rectified. ' Planning Studies The draft plan refers to a Northtown Crosstown Study. The Conmission would like to know if this is the recently completed Metro Council "MAJOR RIYER CROSSING STUDY.° If 1t does refer to that study, then the Crosstown can no longer appropriately be referred to as a deferred project, for that study calls for completion by 1983. If the draft does not refer to the Metro Council report, what then Mill the proposed study address, and how long will it take to complete? . 4. Coordination with State Environmental Standards Ne believe that the State noise level and air quality standards should be adopted by reference in the P1an. We atso believe that money should be 6udgeted for a noise abatement program for the State's transportation network. 5. Motorcycle Usage Me believe that the MnDOT PLAN should address motorcycle usage and that perhaps the same incentives used for car-pooling (preferential lanes, et.al.) should be applied to motorcycles as well, because of their relative energy efficiency. 6. Responsible Person The Coirenission feels that there sMould be a lead person available from HnDOT who coutd provide the most current information to local government, and who would be responsible to speak on behalf of the Agency to the City. � " �t' � QipRTER COt4tISSION MEETING . � .

They have to be appointed in September and they have to report back their recoi�endations next month so that they can go out prior to the November meeting when the election takes place. Mr. Ash asked Pir. Starwalt if he would chair the nominating committee and Mr. Starwalt state3 he would. Mr. Ash asked bfr. Berg and i4r. Srennan to be on the co�ittee and they stated they would. Mr. P_sh etated they could have a meeting and discuss recommendatioas with the people and report back next month. AnoCher thing is the November meeting is the only time according to our bylaws we can revise it. If there are any thoughts along those lines they should be put in writing for our next meeting for everyone to revieur priot to the November meeting. Hr. Ash stated we have some things to review on the hearings according to our May meeting. tde could discuss the concepts ae to when we should hold them and how and if there is anything else we want to add to the list. Mr. Ash read to the group the letter that was sent out to the various groups in Fridley. Iie asked if there was anything anyone vanted to add to the list. Hr. Ash asked Mr. Star�aalt if he thought it was a good format the vay it was done last time. That is to invite them for a meeting and get their viewpoints. We took about two groups a meeting. Mr. Starwalt stated he thought that vas a proper way to do it. Mr. Ash stated ve cou2d not officially schedule anything tonight but we should use the winter months to hold the hearings. He �tated one we discussed was to add a revision section to the back of the Charter. He felt it was a good idea - c�hat it was aad when it was changed. He stated Mr. Starwalt had recomaended this. pa e 2 CHARTER COMMISSION MEETING Se tember 19 1978 Mt, Ash stated another item he would like to see is the Mayor publish a State-of-the-City message, probably in January. This way the � geople �+ould get a better feel for what is going oa. 1Sr. Starwalt stated he agreed there was a need for this but wondered vhat method srould be used. ?Ir. Ash stated we would leave that up to the city. Mr. Starwalt stated the city newsletter does a good job. They could attach it to t'he newsletter not be a part of it. lir. Ash stated another item is Section 207 wheze the Council sets their salary. He stated he felt they should set their salaries only after they have stood for election. llr. Treuenfela stated he wuld like to see the salary oa the ballot. Mr. Ash stated we just want�something to discuss with the various groups. Hr. Ash stated another item 3s we cover expenditures for people who have a petition but we do not cover expenditures for opponents to the Yet3tion. Maybe we should discuss this also. Mr. Ash stated another item is should the city manager serve totally at the pleasure of the City Council. The only way you can remove liim now is by filing charges. Should this be discussed. ?ir. 1Ynuenfels stated he yras in favor of discussing it. Mr. Ash stated another was under section 702. Right nar the city has the right to levy up to 16 mills and they haue not been levying that much. The city budget dollazs have increased 250-300X. Inflation has oaly gone 10 or 12X. Should we consider putting something in there that if the City Council spends more tkian the rate of iaflation plus 1 or 2% should there be a referendum or. some other vehicle before that money can be spent. 25r. Treueafels stated he would like to see that discussed but he would like [o see if the population increases then the budget sl►ould increase. Hr, Brennan stated there has been discussion about indexing Federal income taxes -�1�e it into account vhen they set the mill rate. ; . Mr. Ash stated if they want to increase it then they can put it on the ballot. Mr. Ash stated ano[her item of business was one of appointmen[s to the Charter Commission. Mr. Mihalchick had moved out of the city and could no longer serve. We had submitted Cwo namea before that of Agnes Wolf and Mark Nart. Should we send a letter to the Judge asking him to appoint one of these people or should we wait. Ya e 3 CHARTER CO1'QtISSION M�ETING " S�vtember 19, 1978 lfc, Starwalt stated that at the last meeting we had discusaed Mr. Hexman Bergman but he had told i3r. Starwalt he was not interested.. Nr.

F.AIDLEY, MINNESOTA 66132 7ELEPHONE (612)671-3lb0 May J5, 1978 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: The Cfiarter Commission of the City of Fridley is again reviewing the Charter to see if any section needs updating. Some of the questions that have 6een raised in their discussions are: 1. Nothing is said about the number of terms that a person can serve on the City Council. Should it be limited to two or four terms. 2. Council size. Shouid there be more members? Fridley has grown, is novt in the 30,000 category. 3. Should be a list of standing committees and it should be published, with name of chairman, plus scheduTe, meeting { dates, etc., at least once a year. . 4. Boards. Nevrly created bnards should have a termination date or rejustification for further existence. 5. Can a person hold more than one elective office? 6. Should the City have a fair campaign practice whereby printed materia75 handed out by a candidate be filed with the City Cierk at least 11 days prior to the election so the opposition would have the opportunity to respond to it? , 7. Feel that there should be something on ethics in the Charter. 8. Charter change on how vacancies on unexpired terms of Councilmen be handled. If your oroanization has any input on these items the Charter Co�nission would be very appreciative of hearing from you. They will probably be scheduling a public hearing on these items eariy in the fall of 1978.

He suggested that perhaps Clyde should meet with Bob Aldrich and see specifically what he thinks about this. Tell Mr. Aldrich what we have in mind so we can take 3t Yo the workshop. Hr. Ftoravetz stated ve should have an arraagement coordinatiag the joint use of the equipment and also a maintenance repair type of asrangement they would be under separate cover. Mr. :Soravetz stated this should be between the workshop and the Fire Department and we vrill be the facilitator. It vould also be a good idea for [he wrkshop to make sure they have insurance on . their equipment. A�.

Posaible need for bonding of GTV for service installatione , 2. Copyright ' Mr. Weaver atated it was his and Mr. Chevalier's opinion that GTV � should be bonded for service installatians. He had a discussion t�ith Anne Davis about the state law amendment to require bonding. Y It is their reco�endation that we, as the functioning body to GT9, ' should impose the new requirement of the state legislature. We would do that in the near future. His only reservation 3s having e position from the City Attorney. Iie stated the situation as it now stands with the complete lack of bonding by the installers is something that should be brought to a conclusian. Mr. Gerard stated GTV is bonded to the citq related functions. IIe thought may be Anne Davis was getting this confused with the new law. lir, k'eaver stated the cite of the law is Vol. 4, MCAR 4.1215. He did not have a copy with him and Ms. Davis was not present. The atate has cYianged the law 'since the time GTV's franchise was granted. 3ir. Gerard stated they were insured against damage as a company. Mr. Raspsaak asked about liability. Mr. Gerard stated they had liability insurance againat injuries. Mr. Weaver stated the kind of insurance sie are talking about is bonding for situations like the one GTV had with Filister. Mr. Weaver felt it would be a protection for the compaaq. Att. Weavei stated regardiag copyright fees, iir. Chavalier and he felt we can have a new rate hearing and most of these costs could be passed on through. Mr. Gerazd stated regarding bonding GTV is an operating compa� and theq have always come to anag�eemeat-�wi-�h any complaints. Ajayor Nee stated he wuld like an euplanation of what the Commission aeant. lfr. Kaspszak stated this hond vould be for damage.. Mr. Weaver stated he would like to have Mr. Herrick read the law and give us a letter of hfs opinioa. , I4c. Kaspszak asked Mr. Moravetz if he could coritact Mr. Herrick and inform him of what we need. tir. Moravetz agreed. Ph. Weaver stated regarding copgright fees, it was suggested b� Mr. Selgum at the last meeting one hearing be held for both the aopyright fees and bonding items. These would require ordinance ohaagea. : p�ee $ CATV COMMISSION MEETING October 19, 1978 _ Mr,Baspszak asked Mi. Gerard how manq rate change� vtould theq ba talking about. !!r. Gerard stated looking at the FCC, theq are looking to relax their rules in allowing their signals in a majoz TV market. If they rela�c this then we would bring in additional distant signals. There are currently seven applications befo.re the FCC for distant singals so if that happens each time you bring a distant signal to the market the rate changes. 1�r. &aspszalc asked Mr. Gerard in the neat taro years hw ma.ny would happen here. Mr, Gerard stated in the major market qou would add them as quickly ,as you could. He stated he reco�ends the Co�ni.ssion have the City Council ctiange the ordinance to have these as pass throughs. '�eY ate handling it this way in St. Cloud. ?Ir. Belgmn stated we should get a.wpy of St. Cloud's ordinaace. D.' Discussion of Possible Funding Sources Mr, Kaspszak stated he had reviewed Mr• Chevalier's memo on the trorkshop. fle disagreed with the crorkshop's concept. He stated his coatention is to sell the concept and then sell the product. Then you take the aurvey — not the other way around. They do not know'what they are taking a survey about. Mr, lforavetz stated the tapes he ordered from.Wisconsin will be mailed in the near future and he will see that members of the Co�isaion get copies. 1�e.'Gerard stated he would like to suggest something that Mr. $aj,yarti, Mr, Scott and he had talked about regarding, aharing Fite Department equipment. They have proposed to put together sa informational tape an what Cable TV is and what it can offer IYidley. Theq crould use the colored equipment from the Fire Department and it would be an i�ediate source for the librarq, the Co�nission, etc. It could also be used by the workshop as gn example of what can be doae if theq get funding. GTV would gsy for the editing of it. Mc, Bel��mm asked Mr. Gerard if they wuld then xeat the copp. .lr. Gerard stated a copy would be available_to the Commission, the library and the workshop.

Other New Business 2Ir. Belgum pointed out the October l7th article in the Minneapolis Stait regarding Storer, Inc. He stated he had talked to Mr. John Bddy in Bloomington regarding this. t�s. Eddy has been for some time a full time coordinator, producer and manager of the local urograms �i.nating from Bloomi.ngton telling what is going on in Bloomington. Mr. Eddy told Mr. Belg� that the Storer Company has been there to examine their operation and used that to influence St. Louis Park. Mr. Eddy's prediction is Storer wi.11 move very quickly. Mr. Eddy stated it would be aa advantage to get together and see what kind of position the suburbs would agree on in anticipation of their anival on the scene. The=e are 10 suburbs mentioned in the article by Mr. Mueller of Storer as possible candidates for cable T9 franchies. They are Bloomington, Richfield, Edina, Minnetonka, Hapkins, St. Louis Park, Golden Valley, P,obbinsdale, Brookiqn Pazk , and�Fridley. rfr. Belgum stated that was a sizable movement. 2fr. Be],gum aslced Mayor Nee to co�ent on this. Mayor Nee stated the concept is implicit ia the system and econim3cal2p viable. Our concern with it has to be protecting ovr own flexibilitq a� our own interests regarding local sernice. It is almost a necessitq to put together that kind of a package to make it marketable. From o�s point of view we have a continuing problem of protecting our own in terms of community service such as highschool football games and co�unity news. Mr. Belgum stated if 10 suburbs are going to consider a franchise, then thia is newer to them than it is to us. Mr. Moravetz referred to Section 405.104 and 111 limitations of franchise. The ordinance specifically states that such a franchise shall be a privilege to be held in personal trust by the original eompauy. cannot be sold, transferred, leased, assigned or disposed of in whole or in part either by voluntary or involuntary sale, merger, or any consolidation without the consent of the Council expressly by resolution. He stated maybe We could discuss this further at the next meeting. It is the responsibility of the Comnany to inform the Commission of any intention of any sale or merger and then at the discretion of the Comission to conduct such hearings as necessary by the Commission in order to make reasonable recommendatioa to the Council. Then after 30 days of approval of the Council a duly executed copy of such transcript of such merger or transfer would be filed with the City Clerk. � 4F Also Sectio �ccooer 19 1978 n 111 - righta reserved to the city, �ig r�ads in part - the City reserves the ri ht purchase said franchise upon $� paL88raph fide offer �de g of first refusal to bY a third pazty, terms a� �nditions of any bona � �..

Mr. Weaver etated this vas a good time to get everpthing back in ordez. 14ayor Nee atated there were some things he thought Were good ideas but were not worked out. Oae of them was a penalty and revocatioa which has alwaqs been a problem. llr. Moravetz stated one of the biggest concerns of the Commission at that time was the defining of subscsiber revenues. 1�Ir. Weaver asked if Mr. Moravetz could put everything together and make copies for the Co�ission. :faybe we aould get together again in two veeks to get things going. Mr. *Ioravetz stated perhaps the Mayor could sit dawn �4ith us also. !!r. Weaver suggested maybe ve should have some past Co�ission nembers attend also. :hey probably have some good thoughts on this. He stated after we get these together we should submit them to the Citq Attorney for his revtew. Hr. Raspazak stated he had attended the state hearing oa the =enewal matter. He stated he got the feeli.ng that there is some seatiment for our point of view but it may not be in the majority. Mr. Belg� stated he really got pepped up by tallciag to tir. Eddq at Bloomington. He felt we will have to get our act togther in order to make an influence on Storer. He stated his reason for joining the Comission was entirely to see what could be done with public access. He stated he had written a statement whieh he read io the group. It was entitled "10 Suburbs in Search of Identity". 3eie11 is beautiful - brobgdnoy is ugly. We keep getting this from many new angles and we hadn't expected it. You stated that maybe the stadiimm is an impossibility. All qou got to do is try to drive on the freeway at closing hours to find out probably why it is aa impossibility. The freeway was to save us and now the freeway is damniag us. The suburbs are small - the metro is gigantic. Persons , who ihink that the whole movement is constantly toward giganticism are pezhaps mistaken. Persons are moving toward the human side of local interest. Local parks, local schools, local restaurants, local churches, local libraries, local sports. These are what grab people and interest people. `?ost people I am talking about. To express this movement and interest communications help enormously. While they help they can. beneEit and profit the un Let me remind you and point out that the Minneapolis Star has had a complete revolutioa. It has almoat given up being a newspaper. YaRe 9 CATV COMMISSIO.N MEETING October 19, 1978 � It has become a magazine. Secause theq srere losing money on the afternoon paper. So their front page, you have to admit, that ia something very aneW has happened. The communication of networks are fine. The Cable TV aad Storer Broadcastiag Company, if you reflect, aze hoping to eater 10 suburbs and these people are going to make money — they are going to try to make money. Unless the suburbs then show that they can make money by serving the suburbs and the people's local interest then we lost something very very important. I refer to the community newspaper concept that obviously is a potential. The Sun was unable to make money on their philosophy of news. We11,it turned out they did not have a philosophy of co�aunity news. It was never tried. So aaw the Minneapolis Star and Tribune, which in itself is having a retrolution in editorials_and policy, has bought them and � a lot of it vill depend on vhat the citizens of Fridley tell tlsem• All these lb suburbs are being saturated with efforta aow to briag Time magazine to people married to the Sun some how or other. You can tell haa frantic they are. The community . school qou may not thialc is connected with TV but I thinlc they are and I think they are connected with the coffiunity newspaper. T!� person who got me in touch with John Eddy is none other than a counselor at the Fridley High School, Bob Barnett, who is interested in the potential of Cable T9, community schools snd co�unity newspapers. Iie was the one who told John Eddy about mq interest and that is how we got together. A little footnote, the Police Department is cooking up something that is obviously connected with the community and they are not using Cable T9 or the nevspaper because it cannot be used right now. It is an eaperiment in tfie neighborhoods regarding crime prevention. The key idea there is co�unication. I wanted to put these things together to try to persuade the members here and the Mayor that things are being redesigned and one force tt�at is forcing the redesigxcing is that you cannot make monep in the old gigantic push any more, and it may turn out that these new owners that come in may very weel be that they are open to try some new ways to make moneq and maybe that new vay of making money might be particularly what we are interested in developiag to benefit the citizens of Fridley.

Lot 6A 54152/1660 OCTOBER 25, 1978 The City of Fridley has an ease�nt "subject to utitity and drainage" over the entire above mentioned lot. The State owns the lot but it makes the County responsible for costs such as weed cutting and diseased trees. The County objects to these costs with the City having the total easement and wants to sell the lot to the City. They have agreed to sell it for bare costs such as. -�: � i, City's Special Assessment Charge 52,015.08 Auditor's fees 10.00 ,0 5.08 3 x State Assurance Fund on.above 60J5 State Deed Fees 3.00 �� Less City's Special Assessments (Cred9t) `2,015.08 Net to County E 73J5 This would give the City outright ownership and shnuld it be deemed surplus prnperty for some reasan in the future the City could so declare and sel] at such time. This, I think, is better for the City's interest than taking care of the costs and having to turn it back to the State at such time when we no longer need it. This transfer of title has already been approved by the County Board. Now all we need is a resolution by the City Council to purchase said property. If it is your understanding that we don't�need Council approval, then let me know and I will proceed in acquiring the property for the City. We should consider the Lotal cost as bein.g $2,088.83.

SUBJECT: SENIOR CITIZENS SEWER {WD WATER RATES DATE: NOYEMBER 1, 1978 Resotution No. 36-1977 and Resolution No. 9-1978 provided special sewer and water rates for senior citizens. (See attached Resolution No. 36-1977 and Resolution No. 9-1978.) In order to qualify for the special utility rates, household income must be less than $7,000 per year. The cost of living increased 13.3% from Apri1 1977 through August 1978. The consumer pwice index published is bimonthly for the Minneapolis/St. Paul. area. The next one for the month of October, will be published sometime in November. The December cost of living index will be available sometime in January. If the $7,000 househoid income figure used in the two resolutions is increased by 13.3�, the new amount would be b7,931. This is assuming the household income figure is increased by the same 13.3% that the cost of living increased fran April 1977 through August 1978. In order that this item dces not r�eed to keep coming before the Council, the househotd income figure could be adjusted automatically on January 1 of each year based on the cost of living figure.for the month of October of�the previous year. This means that the household income figure to be used effective January 1, 1979 would be based on the cost of living increase for the period April 1977 through October. 1978. If the Council concurs with this concept, they should adopt the attached resolution. At the present time, there are 175 customers qualifying for the senior citizens rates out of a totai custaner account of 7,300. Please note that the only change we are considering is the change in household income. All rates, etc., will remain the same.

Fernand Pecheux, Mayor of fourmies. § . Being aresent: Messieurs Fernand, Flayor, Marceau Gauthier, Claude Jourdain, Jean Charles Tiron, etc. Excused: Messieurs Edmond Coppee, Claude Marechal, etc. MISCELkANE0U5 TOPICS: Project of cultural exchanges between.the city of Fridley and the City of Fourmies The Mayor recalls that during the meetings of the Council of September ll, and last Uctober 2> some basic decisions were already taken on the possibility of organlz- ing various exchanges, solely in the nature of cuttural and personal exchanges between• the city of Fridley (USA) where the headquarters of Medtronic, Inc. are located, and the village of Fourmies, where the newest of the Medtronic plants now is located. Following conversations which took place in April between the American representa- tives of Medtronic and some manbers of the City Administration, the idea came to bring together the two c9ties. It was thus suggested to establish contacts with the concurrence of various local organizations of FridTey and Fourmies, to attain, ultimately, more positive cuitural exchanges. The M�yor explained that in the course of a personal trip taken recently to the United States, Mr. Marceau Batteux, General Secretary of the Mayoralty, paid a visit to his colieague of Fridley as well as.to the Mayor of that city. ' On this occasion, a letter was delivered for the Mayor of Fourmies to which was joined the symbolic key to this American city. . This correspondence was responded to by specifying how much the elected officials and administrators of the city of Fourmies were interested in personal relations between all nations, and that they would only see advantages in establishing ctoser ties through the contacts of various local organizations and societies, between the inhabitants of the two cortmunities concerned. It is well to remember that Fridley.is situated in the suburbs of Minneapolis (state of Minnesota), and that a first exchange of Tetters has already been made with linquistic and cultural objectives, between two scholastic institutions. THE MUNICIPAL COUNCIL YES, the stat�nent of its President After deliberation, Adopts the principle of friendly relations, personal and cultural, with the city of Fridley. Charges its Mayor, in collaboration with the General Secretary of the Mayoralty, to follow up the procedure undertaken. Made in session the day, month and year as above.
