Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. OPETI FORUM, VISITORS: MFt Z17M MEftICKFL� RFPRF•SENPAT�IF' FROM SENA'mR B05CHWITZ'S OFFICF• Mr. Tom Merickel, F1eld Representative from Senator Boschwitz's Office, � appeared before the Council regarding an update on current legislation affecting local units of goverrunent. Mr. Merickel stated Senator Boschwitz's office is seeking input and suggestions from members of local government in the areas of community development block grants, cable television regulations, industrial and mortgage l�onds, general revenue sharing, and any other areas where the Council may have questions. Mr. Merickel stated, under the new Federalism, a lot of control will be returned to local governmeats, and it is felt the best way to determine how the progtams are workinq is to discuss them with local and county officials, Mr. Merickel stated it looks as if 958 of the general revenue sharing funds will be re-authorized at least for three years. � .. 1�. _ _ 4i_?�_ r�. . r, '�_ . . Mr. Merickel stated the Senate has passed Senate File 66 which is a deregulation of cable television and it has severe impact on some of the e�cisting and pending conttacts cities may have with cable companies. He stated the bill will be considered by the House in early October. Mayor Nee stated Senator Boschwitz's vote in opposition to Senate File 66 was appreciated. Mayor Nee stated he was sensitive to the implications that the CETA program was a waste. He felt the City had made good use of this program and trained people to prepare them for good �obs. He stated the City could provide a report and show the CETA money wasn't wasted. � Mr. Merickel stated the Job Partnership Training Act will replace the CETA program and service delivery areas will be estahlished and persons trained for specific �obs according to what 7obs are available in their particular location. Mr. Merickel stated it was alleqed the CETA program trained people, havever, there weren't �obs in their area for which they were trained. He stated the new program would train persons for different �obs available in their area. He stated, hopefully, Fridley will be able to participate in this new program. Councilman Barnette asked if pivate industry would be involved with the program. Mr. Merickel stated private industry would participate to help establish the ground rules. Mr. Merickel stated they have further information on the program and would focward it to the City Manager. Councilman Hamernik asked about pending legislation regarding industrial revenue bonds. Mr. Merickel stated there prolaably wouldn't kae any changes in industrial revenue bonds, haaever, s�ne changes were made to close some ' of the loopholes where this type of financing was used even though they really didn't establish more �obs. Mayor D7ee stated he would welcome more stringent management of the program, as it almost seems to get out of hand at times. Mr. Merickel stated the Federal government is allowed to operate with a deficit, however, when more control is turned over to the State and local goverrunents, it forces decisions to be made regarding priorities since they have to follav a balanced budget. Mr. Merickel thanked the Council for their time and stated he would probably come back within the next six months for a further report and any co�rnnents by the Council M� �! /U �v__��\ :\� ��1\ :�t � «� •, � S_�i�i i � �.�� • ,Lul: :5��' Mr. Tbrkildson, Director of Anoka County Parks and Recreation, appeared Y�efore the Council regarding off-season uses £or Colwnbia Arena. � � � Li 1 �; 1�� v�ii ��i1\, _ u_pi _\. � : Ci �i He stated the County Board has approved the purchase of a portable floor so that other events can be helcl in Columbia l. He stated a letter was sent on July 26 to Mayor Nee outlining some of the proposed uses such as ceramic, antique car, and 7ewelry shows, and some stage productions. He stated they also intend to possibly use the north parking lot for displays of antique or new cars. Mr, Torkildson stated the reason he is before the Council is to see if they have any questions or if there is a problem with any of their proposed ideas for using the arena in the summer months. He stated he would like to see anyone interested in using the arena to first come to the City to see if there are any problems, before they enter into a � contract with the County. Councilman Barnette stated the only concern he has is with the carnivals and would like some information provided to him so he could answer any questions he received regarding the event. Councilman Hamernik stated he would want some assurance that functions wouldn't be held at the arena that would be in competition with the Fridley businesses, as he felt this would be an unfair advantage of using public property for personal qain. Mr. Torkildson stated they would make sure that any events held at the arena wouldn't be in competition with private business in the City. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated he had some problem with the way the Zoning Code is worded regarding the uses of public property. He felt, if events of this nature were going to be held, some changes would be necessary �n the Zomng Code. He felt the best course now is to determine what the City and County agree upon as future uses, and the procedure to follow in terms of obtaining approval of both bodies, so an amendment could be made in the Zomng Code. Councilman Barnette asked if the County received a lot of requests for use of the area or if they are actively seeking persons to use the facility. � Mr. Torkildson stated when Coliunbia l was first built, it was their intent to have dry floor events, but it became evident they had to use the arena all year around for skating, however, this isn't the case anymore because of other ice facilities in the area. He felt the arena should be used in the simm�er months and they will do some mailing to find out what persons may be interested in using the facility. Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, asked if there was general agreement with the items proposed in Mr. Torkildson's letter. Councilman Barnette stated his only concern would be with the carnivals. Mayor Nee stated he felt there may be problems with an outdoor flea market. Mr, Qureshi stated, if there is a general agre�nent with these items, the County cauld proceed and potential exhibitors should contact the City � ��il\ ��I� _�,� • !; Manager's Office so it could be coordinated with the County. He stated, in the meantime, staff would work on the amendment to the Zoning Code to cover whatever is agreed upon. Mr. Tony Palumbo, County Attorney's Office, stated the County would try to acco�nodate the Council's wishes and, before any contract is drawn, the City would be contacted to work out any problems or concerns. Mr. Herrick felt perhaps it would be workable if the ordinance was amended to provide certain activities, with a broad description of those activities, that could be conducted in the arena, upon concurrence of the � City and County. He felt there could be some standards, if a proposal was made that was ob7ectionable, the Council could so indicate and not give a permit. He felt there should be some procedures to follow so the County isn't embarrassed or the City put in a situation they find ob�ectionable. It was the concensus of the Council that staff should work an this item further to try and accommodate the County's request for certain events to be held during the stmm�er months at Colimibia l arena. 31= �s��,._ ' E . ,i � � �K�� .: '.•�•� �� v��]��F[ri4�►(i)4Ci]�y,!

Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declareol the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing opened at 8:28 p.m. Mr. Jim Casserly, O'Connor and Hannan, e�plained what was taking place in the modification of the Redevelognent Plan for RedeveloFxnent Pro7ect No. 1. Mr. Casserly stated what is proposed is (1) expanding the City Center � pro�ect Area to incorporate the other redevelopment areas and adding two additional psrcels to potential pro7ect areas; (2) renaming this combined area to be called Redevelopment Pro�ect No. 1; (3) renamxng the tax increment districts, No. 1, No. 2, and No, 3; (4) amending the tax increment finance plans to allow the use of a common bond reserve fund system in the entire project area and any other purposes allowed or authorized by statute; (5) allaaing the pro7ect area to be considered as a single unit per plan which, in turn, allows any increment for any district to be used anywhere in the pro7ect area; and (6) the result is to provide for increased flexibility and updating the program to reflect legislative changes. � Mr. Casserly stated the proposal is not adding anything to the tax increment districts or creating a nea t� increment district; not taking any land for any purpose of any kind whatsoever; not transferring any funds of any kind for any purpose; or noc approving any pro7ect, either specifically or individually, or approving any funds for any pro�ect, but simply allowing for gxeater flexibility in planrung. �� CDONCIL MEEPING OF AUGUST 22. 1983 PAGE 5 Mayor Nee asked if the Housing and Redevelopment Authority concurred with Redevelopment Pro7ect No. 1. Mr. Casserly stated they reviewed it in detail and have recommended approval. Mayor Nee asked the practical purpose for having the Redevelo�anent Pro�ect, Mr. Inman, City Clerk, stated by using the reserve system or common bond, the City is able to potentially reduce the interest, since they would have only one conmion bond fund rather than three. Councilman Schneider asked if tax increment from one district could be � used in another district. Mr. Inman stated there is an additional accounting process so a transfer would have to be done. Mr, Dick Harris, 620D RiverviEta Terrace, stated he has some concern about combining all the tax increment districts into one entity. He stated funds could be moved between the districts and asked if that tequired a ma�ority vote or a 4/5 vote of the Council. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated the Charter provision would require a 4/5 vote, but didn't know if there was a specific provision in the State statute which relates to this item. Mr. Casserly stated the general rule is, when bond proceeds are shifted for a project for which the City could have bonded, it requires the same ntmJ�er of votes necessary if it had been an original bond issue. Mr. Inman stated the Housing and Redevelopemnt Authoxity would also have to vote on moving any funds. Mr. Harris stated his concern was keeping the faith with the persons in the north tax incr�nent district. Mayor Nee felt the Center City pro�ect was going so well and it may be the flow of funds from this area which would benefit the north pro�ect. Mr, Casserly stated, in the general sense, small public improvements would � be very expensive to bond on an individual basis. He felt it would be extr�nely advantageous to borrow the money from the Center City pro�ect and pay it back when the increment becomes available in the north district. He stated if the City has a development fund, it can be used to reduce public expenditure by 40 to 45$ of a given small bond issue. Mayor Nee stated he would ob�ect to one district subsidizing the other and didn`t think any memUer of the Council would support such an arrangement. Mr. Harris asked if a public hearing is required before funds are ttansferred. Mr. Casserly stated it would come to the Council as an agenda it�n. Mr. Harris asked if there was sane way affected property owners could be notified, Mr. Casserly stated any property that would have an improvement made to it by the use ot these ftuids is going to require the appraval of the property amer. � I nJ(�Ti. M�mTNr; pF txx m J� 2� PAGE 6 ., ` He stated it would be very foolish on the part of the City to make those kinds of e�cpenditures without swne assurances from the aaner that some tax incr�nent would develop. No other persons in the audience spoke regarding the proposed Redevelopment Pro7ect No. 1. MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilman Barnette. Upon a voice vote, all votinq aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unammously and the public hearing closed at 8:50 p.m. � OLD BUSINFSS• ��i�_ _ � �. . � � � .. � �.�� • ��L.� ��,y • � : �+� : MOTION by Councilman Schneider to table this item.

C__:.�.�, Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated a redraft was pre�red of Chapter 206 of the City Code which includes the following: (1) Adoption of the 1982 Uniform Building code; (2) Adoption of Appendix E. optional automatic fire suppression system; (3) Organization of a building department; (4) Adoption of a Plan Revic�a Fee Schedule; (5) Adoption of an Electrical Fee Schedule; (6) Complements the Zoning Code Certificate of Compliance requir�nents; and (7) Deftnes the storm water run-off design criteria. Mayor Nee stated the Council asked that this ordinance 6e circulated as widely as possible in order to seek comments from the residents and business community. � Mr, Bo6 Aldrich, Fire Chief, stated he felt, in the long run, it was in the best interests of the City to adopt this type of ordinance. In reference to Appendix E concerning sprinkler systems, Mr. Aldrich submitted comp�risons to what was required bn the previous fire limits ordinance, the 1980 code, and proposed Appendix E. He pointed out that Appendix E is more restrictive than the fire limits ordinance and the 1980 code. Mr. Aldrich submitted charts shornng the amount of personnel it takes to advance a hose line and how much water per minute can be applied based on the nimil�er of personnel fighting a fire. Mr. Aldrich presented charts showing the loss ratio in buildings and apartrnents that were sprinkled vs, the non-sprinkled buildings. In one case of a non-sprinkled building, two persons lost their lives and there was $70,000 in damage versus a similar sprinkled building where there was � �i �r,,�� C7�UNCIL MEEPING OF AUG[JST 22�j963 PAGE 7 only $1,000 �.n damages. In another instance, there was a$3,000 loss as opposed to a$110,000 loss of a sprinkled versus a non-sprinkled building. Mr. Aldrich stated firefighter safety is of the utmost importance to him and there is no doubt in his mind that sprinkled buildings are safer and reduce the damage when there is a fire. Mr. Aldrich stated he received several phone calls pertaining to the code and one of the questions was if the code would be retroactive, which it is not. He stated another concern was if new owners purchased a used building, if they would have to install sprinklers. Mr, Aldrich stated he also discussed the code with Mr, Dick Harris and they agreed upon some of the points and disagreed on others. Mr. Aldrich stated, in most cases, there xs a sizeable reduction in the insurance rate for sprinkled buildings as opposed to non-sprinkled buildings. Mr. Aldrich stated if the fire station was sprinkled, it would decrease the fire insurance rates by about 47� and decrease the insurance rates on the contents by ahout 38�. Mayor Nee asked how long it would take to amortize the investment for a sprinkler system. Mr. A].drich stated it would be three to eleven years, with the average between five to seven years, depending upon the degree of hazard and type of structure of the building. Councilman Schneider asked if any pro�ections were made regarding the fire fighting equipment and number of persottnel needed in the f uture, if Appendix E were adopted, and a crorap�rison if it is not adopted. Mr. Aldrich stated he felt the City can expect to stay at the present level, if Appendix E is adopted; however, he felt additional resources would be needed if this is not adopted. Councilman Hamernik stated some suburban areas were requiring sprinkler systems and dichi't adopt Appendix E. Mr. Aldrich stated Golden Valley is not oonsidering the ordinance because they enforce strict requirements and all buildings must be sprinkled. Mr, Dick Harris, 6200 Riverview Terrace, stated he didn't disagree with Mr. Aldrich regarding the safety aspect of sprinkler systems. He felt the schools are remiss in the fact they haven't seen fit to put sprinkler systems in the schools. Mr. Harris stated, fram the standpoint of the cost of the system and the psy back, this code really does, in certain instances, speak to retrofit. He pointed out that, under retail warehouse and manufacturing, sprinklers are needed where there is 2,000 square feet or more and in schools, where there is a higher htur�n use, the requirenent is 8,500 square feet or more. � ' � CJ � ' �•l ��l ,_ R !1�is � !. 1 .l 1 JY� � � � f_ Ptr. �Harris stated, as �e t��ersta,nd� th� code, if one of his uuildings was clestre��ed, in order tQ rebuild, it has to be sprinkled. Mr. Harris steted he has done some figuring and �ust to get the water service into a building, the cost would be between $5,500 to $6,000. He stated the cost for the sprinklers is about $1.00/square foot and every sprinkler head is $80, therefore, the total cost for a 8,000 square foot building would be between $14,000 to $15,000 on new construction. He stated the smaller the size, the higher the cost per square foot. He felt 2,000 square foot building would be almost prohibitive because of the initial costs 7ust to brinq water into the buildinq. Mr. Harris stated, even by reducing the cost by about 50� of their fire insuxance rates, it would take 28 years to amortize a sprinklec system fox an 8,000 square foot building. Mayor Nee asked Mr. Harris if he would recommend the Council not adopt Appendix E. Mr. Harris stated it cbesn't make sense economically, but knows it woulc7 be good from a safety standpoint. He stated he would suspect if this ordinance is ac7opted, it probably will shutoff all new construction. Councilman Hamernik raised the question regarding pre-payment of an inspection fee, and how many othez communities cuxrently follow this procedure. Mr: Elora sY�ted four out of"the five surrounding communities-are using this practice, as it does provide the City a certain amount of compensation for their work, if a pro7ect doesn't proceed. Mr. Qureshi, City Manaqer, stated the concetn for safety is paramount in staff's mind; hawever, it has to be balanced by the impact on existing and potential future businesses. He stated if the C�ty's restrictions are more severe than what other cities are reguiring, the City is in a less competitive situation. He pointed out a nnmber of communities are, hawever, considering P,ppendix E. Mayor Nee asked if there may be some alternative to adopting all of Flppendix E. Mr. Qureshi felt perhaps the Attorney's office should review it to see if part could be adopted. MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to table this item until the meeting of September 12, 1983 to check what the law requires, as far as adopting all or none of Appendix E and, what, i£ any, are the alternatives. Seconded by Councilman Barnette. Councilman Barnette stated he hopecl other businesses in the community would make their feelings knam regarding adoption of this ordinance. Mr, FIarris stated he thinks most people are under the assumption it has nothing to do with retrofit. „ :� ,� v .� ��.1�. u _ _ �. • r, • . . Mr. Jim Black, Itice Creek Insurance Agency, stated in relation to fire insurance rates, sprinkling a building makes good sense and in others, it doesn't make sense so he felt some flexibility is needed in tiie ordinance.

Mr. Inman stated a solution was attempted through the Metropolitan Council, however, they seem to have little interest in this subject. � � � � � 9A. � ��1�+� u._�M.+� � �. r.1 � Mr, Inman stated a number of,cities went through changes in their ordinan¢cs so taYicab companies outside the city cannot solicit business, without a City license, but can discharge passengers in the city. He stated this ordinance before the Council would make a similar chanqe in Fridley's ordinance. Mr. Bierbrauer, Town Ta�ci, suggested the cab comparaes should be checked out before the City licenses then. Councilman Barnette asked how this is enforced and if one cab company calls the police on anothet cab company. Mx. Bierbrauer stated this is true in most cases. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, suggested this item be tabled to the next meeting for further review. He felt there may be a problem if cab companies based in other cities came to Fridley and asked for a license and it wasn't granted.

Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick, Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Flora stated a policy should be set by the Council regarding the turn- back of these properties to the affected property aaners. He stated each parcel, within itself, is unbuildable, Councilman Fitzpatrick questioned, if the properties were sold if anyone, other than the adjacent property ovmer, could purchase it. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated a check would have how the property was acquired, either by an easment stated, if it was by fee title, presumably. the City anyone they wished; then the question arises if it makes to the highest bidder. to be made to see or fee title.

H. 471 11�ID TFI TRF�i', _ FO �NIIES AVENL�--64?�FI AVENUE: Ms. Diane Ferry, President of the Sister Cities of Fridley Association, appeared before the Council regarding the proposal to rename one of the streets in Fridley after the City's Sister City, Fourmies, France. Ms. Ferry stated members of their association and the community have benefitted frrnn the City's Sister City program with Fourmies. She felt the naming of a street for Fourmies was particularly appropriate as persons from Fridley have had the priviledge of walkin9 down Fridley Street when visiting Fourmies, France. She stated the people of Foutmies, France are proud to have Fridley as their Sister City and would be hap�y to have a street named for then, Ms. Ferry stated she hoped the Council accepts this proposal and thanked them for considering the request. Mr. Jim Black, R.ice Creek Insurance Agency, felt if 64th Avenue is changed to Fourmies Avenue, it would be a severe hardship on the tenants of the new office building, as they have committed themselves quite heavily to purchasing office supplies printed with the 64th Avenue address. � He stated, before these supplies were ordered, they checked to make sure this would be the address of the building. Mr. Eaggerty 5tated, when he heard about the renaming of 64th Avenue to Fourmies Avenue, he knew there would be some problems, because tenants of the office buildinq have purchased supplies with the 64th Avenue address. He stated the tenants have no ob�ection to a compromise, if the sign indicates both 64th Avenue and Fourmies Avenue. He stated, originally, they tried to get a University Avenue address for better exposure and identification purposes, however, the post office wouldn't allow it. Mr. Black stated, as long as they provide a street sign that says 64th Avenue, he didn't have a problem with it. MOTION 6y Councilman Barnette to adopt Resolution No. 71-1983 with the title to be amended by adding 64th Avenue after Fourmies Avenue, and Item 1 to be amended to read the street is renamed "Fourmies Avenue - 64th Avenue". � n. �.n _ ai il 12 ��i11� _ . 4. ��.. �, c.
