Mr. Inman, City Clerk, stated this assessment is for the signalization at 69th Avenue and Highway 47 (University Avenue). He stated the amount each residential lot will be assessed is $191.96 and Woodcrest Baptist Church is considered as eioht lots for a total assessment of $1,535.68. The total cost of this pro,7ect was $85,966. Mr. Qureshi, C�ty Manager, stated that 75% of the �ost is being paid by the City, County, and funds from the Metropolitan Trail System. He stated this was how it was proposed at the tmprovement hear�ng and at that time, the estimated cost for this signalizat�on was $104,000, however, the actual cost was less than estimated. He further stated it was estimated property owners would be assessed $25D, hooaever, the assessment amounts of $191.96 per residential lot. Caunc�lwoman Moses pointed out that funds from the Metropolitan Trail System are heing used to pay part of this signalization, and asked at the time of the improvement hearing, if they were approached to pay a portion of the cost. M,r Qureshi stated this was how the proposal was submitted to the Council at the improvement hearing. Councilwoman Moses also asked why the County contributed to the signalization. Mr. Quresh� stated they contributed because of their facility on the east side of the highway and the traffic generated by Columbia Arena. Councilwoman Moses asked if the signalization proposal was generated by the Council or the neighborhood residents. Mr; Qureshi, Ctty Manager, stated the Council received a petition for the signalization. He stated the City has been tryingfor many years to get a stoplight at th�s intersection, however, the State Highway Department didn't feel it was warrented, and there was no hope in the foreseeable future to get signalization. He stated the City received a petit�on, basically, regarding how the residents were �n favor of the signalization, if the cost was $250 per res�dence. He � stated a hearing was held on the improvement, and there was ovenvhelming support, andit was ordered at that time. Councilwoman Moses asked, based on the Highway Department's list of priortties, if tt was felt this intersection would have ever received signalization. REGULAR MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 14, 1981 PAGE 4 Mr. Qureshi stated, even though this �ntersection was on the Highway Department's list of prtorities, there would never be any hope for getting this signal because of the low level of cross traffic. He stated, as far as the State Highway �epartment was concerned, this intersection had a very low priority. P4ayor Pro Tem Schneider stated, as he recalls, this intersection was prioritized on the list in the sixties. He stated the State established priorities related to the number of trips both on the main artery and the cross street and until certain criteria is met regarding the number of trips on both streets signaliza- ' tion is not even considered. He stated, as he recalled, the cross traffic at th�s intersection was very low. Mr. Laurance Anderson, 220 Rice Creek Boulevard, stated he was asked by people on etther side of University and 69th to be their spo�esperson regarding what they feel were changes �n the original improvement that was proposed. Mr. Anderson stated, since the hearing in February, 1979, ti�ere has been �evelo�rmnt t_othe west and plans for a community park. He stated persons from this area will be using the light, and felt there was a need for this signalization because of the parks on both sides of the highway and the regional tr:'�1 systen, but it didn't seem logical that the residents should be held accountable for an assessnent. He stated the residents didn't want to pay for the assessment because of additional traffic generated by development to the west of University Avenue. Playor Pro Tem Schneider asked Mr. Anderson, at the time of the hearing, tf he was in favor or opposed to the signalization. Mr. Anderson stated he was in favor of the signal, as he didn't know they �vere going to get a service road on the west side of University. Counc�lwoman Moses stated the neighborhood came to the Council requesting a signal at this intersection and the Council was only reacting to what was requested by the residents. Mayor Pro Tem Schneider stated the petition the Council recetved ind�cated , that 75% of the cost would be pa�d by the City or other governmental agencies and the remaintng 25% would be assessed against adjacent residential properties. Mr. Anderson stated, at the t�me of the hearing, there was no park or no west servicA'road. " - ' Mayor Pro Tem Schne�der asked how this changes the issue of the signal, as the Counc�l doesn't benefit by installing the signal and the reason it is there is because of the petition, and it was installed to respond to the residents' needs. Mr. Anderson stated the game plan has changed, as there would be more traffic generated and more persons usin9 the s�gnal, because of the development to the west. Councilman Barnette stated, when he was elected to the Counc�l, people wanted a light at that intersection. He stated he talked to most of his neighbors, and, with one exception, everyone told him that $250 would be a cheap price to pay for the safety of their families. Counc�lman Qarnette stated he talked to the City Manager and asked why a s�gnal couldn't be instalied at this intersection, and he was shown a stack of cominunications where by the City had requested a signal from the State Highway Department, however, this �ntersection was very low on their priority list. , Councilman Barnette stated the petition was received and the hearing held and what was proposed was that the�governmental units would pay 75% of the cost, the county would pay because of the traffic generated by Columbia Arena; some to be paid from funds for the Regional Tra�l System, because there was a regional trail coming through; por•tion to be pa�d by the City, and the other 25% to be paid by ad�acent property owners. REGULAR MEETING Of SEPTEMBER 14, 1981 PAGE 5 Councilman Barnette pointed out the truck traffic in the industrial development will only go down as far as the park�ng lot of the community park and wouldn't go through to 69th. Counctlman Barnette stated he really feels the Council has 6een honest and above board and didn't feel they were trying to put anything over on anyone. He stated some th�ngs might have changed, since the hearing was held, but didn't feel they could foresee what may or may not have happened. � Mr. Anderson stated he would agree the Counctl was above board at the time of the hearing, but with the changes and additional traffic and everything else involved, it was felt the City should assume a larger percentage of this assessment, since there is a City park there. Mr. Anderson stated he has a petit�on to submit to the Council against the proposed assessment for the signalization. They are opposed for the follovnng reasons: (1) not fully informed when the first vote was held regarding signalizatior�, (2) understood that a servtce road to the west side of Jniversity was not a viable alternative�: (3) lead to believe they wouldn't get a signal for five or more years if they waited for the State to act, (4) the petition 1-1979 was not circulated to all residents, (5) not aware � the City Park would be built to the north; and (6) the light was not installed and operable until the fall of 1981, 1-1/2 years after the hearing. MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to receive petition No. 10-1981 opposing the assessment for the signal at 69th and University. Seconded by Councilwoman Moses. Upon a vo�ce vote, all voting aye, Mayor Pro Tem Schne�der declared the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Anderson stated if the petition is not honored and the assessment holds, he felt the interest should be 7-1J21 instead of 91, as shown in the proposed assessment. � Mr. Ernest Harper, 257 69th Avenue, asked the date the property to the north was purchased and if it was before the signal was approved. He also asked how long it would be before they have the increased traffic from the park. Counctlman Barnette stated it ls hoped to have the park tn operation a year from this fall. Mr. Harper was advtsed to contact the Administrative Office at the City Hall so they can check the correct date the property was purchased. Mrs. Betty Boser, 209 69th Avenue, stated Councilman Barnette made reference that he knew about the possibility of a park cointng into the area at the time of the hearing in February, 19�9. Councilman Barnette stated the City staff discussed this as a poss�bility if the State and Federal grant monies become available for the acquisition or the property. Mrs. Boser asked why they weren't informed when the property was purchased. Mayor Pro Tem Schneider stated the City had been looking at the propsrty for some time which previously had been owned by Sears, there wasn't any intent to make that a big secret. Mrs. Boser asked if there wasn't a State law, when a property ts subdivided, � that a developer has to give montes to the City or donate land for park purposes. She pointed out that Mr. Schroer's subdivision, north of the ex�sting park area, was finalized the night the public hearing was held on the signal�zatton at 69th Avenue, and questioned if the City knew they were getttng some property for park purposes, and if property was donated to the City. �,;; REGULAR MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 14, 1981 PAGE 6 Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated the only reason the City was finally able to acquire the property was because they were lucky enough to get grant mom es. He stated the City had no funds allocated for acquisition of this park, however, grant monies became avatlable later on and the City applied for them and they were received. Mayor Pro Tem Schneider stated the reason considerable staff t�me was spent and the Council went on record for asking for a signal at this intersection was because they recogn�zed there was a potential danger and residents kept continually coming to them to see what could be done. He stated a proposal was made to go ahead and get the signal installed, without State funding, and he believed that was what the residents wanted when they signed the petition. Mayor Pro Tem Schneider stated they wouldn't be here this evening, if the Counc�l had ignored the residents. He felt it was upsettirrg to question the Counc�l's integrity in saying they knew they were going to get a park. Mr. Anderson stated he didn't believe they came to question the Council's integrity, but to bring attention to sigm ficant changes for the Council to take the icems into cons�deration. Councilwoman Moses stated they didn't have a crystal ball to see if they were going to get money for a park, as they were trying to get a grant to purchase the land for the park, but didn't know if the funds would be recei,ved. Mr. Quresh�, City Manager, stated, in order to put in an improvement, it is required, by law, to g�ve notice to all that would be affected. He stated all the affected property owners have received a notice, and the petition was only to start the ball rolling. P1r. Jack Krichen, 23B 69th Place, stated he was at the February, 1979 hearing and he was one that was �n favor of the signal. He stated he really wanted the signal installed and is happy tt is there, but it is not �ust thetr area that is benef�tting. He felt the whole City �s benefitting by this signal as well as the persons using the park. Mr. Glenn Hamilton, 260 Rice Creek Boulevard, stated he was a new resident to the area, 6ut wondered how many other signals in Fridley have been assessed for the residents in the area to pay for them. He felt there have been changes since the hearing and asked the Council to recognize these changes as more people will be ustng the signal. Mr. Quresh� stated most of the signals in the City are actually paid by Federal and State funds, and tfie City's contribution is very small. He stated this is probably the largest contr�bution the City has made in paying for a signal. Mr. Quresh� stated �t was a deliberate choice by the City to try and work out the costs for a signal the citizens wanted. He stated, 6efore this evening, it was the impression they, hopefully, accomplished something everyone wanted in this area, however, tt �s discouraging to see that a lot of people feel they are contributing a high cost for this signal. Mr. f4arty Earley, 267 69th Avenue, questioned when the land was purchased for the commum ty parl:. Mr. Qureshi stated it was the latter part of 1979, but would have to check the records for a definite date. Mr. Earley pointed out it took so long to get the signal installed, hovaever, the park pro�ect got under way very soon. Mr. qureshi stated, even though the City put up the money, the installation of the signal is under the control of the Highway Department and specifications have to be met and approval given. , ' 1 ,,� REGULAR MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 14, 1981 PAGE 7 Mr. Qlureshi stated, as far as the park, grant money was received and the park is being built at no cost, initially, to trhe City because they made arrangements with Park Consiruction to do all the grading and the C�ty's cost wtll 6e mtnnnal. He pointed out the City has control over this development, but did not over the installation of the signal. No other persons in the audience spoke regarding this assessment.

Mr. Brickner stated on the 100% he agreed to pay he ,7ust wanted to make sure it gets recorded, but didn't know how the four foot strip of land would be handled. i+lr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated, when the Council ordered the improvement- this strip of land was considered. He stated tf Mr. Brickner felt further documentation was needed, �t would be put in the minutes. Mr. Qureshi stated the intent on how this outlot developed for this four foot strip and why it came about is in the minutes, but any further documentation can be provided, if Mr. Brtckner so des�res.

Seconded by Counc�lman Barnette. , 1 ' � � REGULAR MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 14, 1981 PAGE 9 Councilwoman Moses asked about the interest rate on these assessments. Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated, when they were talking about 7-1/2% interest, bonds could then be sold at a much lower rate of interest. He stated now it is diffi cult to sell bonds in this market, and if you are lucky enouyh to sell them, the interest is hi9her. He further stated, when information was given on the pro�ect, the costs and interest were est�mated and, unfortunately, the interest rates are much higher than anticipated. Councilman Schneider questioned if staff had any feeling at all for the traff�c that would have been generated, tf a park had not developed west of University and the property would have been commercial or industrtal. Mr. Qureshi stated it is difficult to predict what type of industry would have developed on this property, however, there are a number of industries which generate an extremely high volume of traffic. hir. Qureshi pointed out that the way the park is designed, only vehtcular traffic would essentially be using 69th. Mr. Qureshi stated, from a planning potnt of view, the general feeling is tha industry has potentially a detrimental impact compared to what would be created by a park. UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, all voted aye, and Mayor Pro Tem Schneider declared the motion carried unanimously. Councilman Schneider asked the City Attorney if the residents had any other recourse, if they felt the Council acted unfavorably. He stated he honestly felt the Council tried to act in response to what the neighborhood wanted in 1979• He stated, as far as development of the land to the west of University, he has dtfficulty seeing a great deal of difference, with regard to the traffic signalization, whether it developed commerctally, industrially, or as a park. Councilwoman Moses felt the value of the homes would be greater because of the park, rather than industrial development. Councilman Fitzpatr�ck felt when you get tnvolved with assesstng a traffic s�gnal to property owners, it is setting a bad precedent. He felt the Council should learn a lesson from this, and is probably the reason they haven't done it in this past. � '�� RE T' %� �� -I� , � �- ION NO -1981 CONFIRMING ASSESSMENT FOR TH ATMENT AND REMOVAL OF MOTION by Counc�lwoman Moses to adopt Resolution No. 106-1981.
