CREATE TWO DUPLEX (TWO FAMILY) PARCELS, GENERALLY LOCATED AT
5361 SIXTH STREET N.E. (WARD 11 (BY GARY WELLNER):

Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that in 1960, at the time of construction of one of the two of Mr.
Wellner's duplexes, the duplex was constructed a distance of 7.99 feet from the side lot line
rather than the required 10 feet. Council was asked to forgive the enor by granting a variance for
the 7.99 foot side yard. The Appeals Commission unanimously approved this request at their

subdivision lot split for property located at 5928 Woody Lane. The petitioners, David and

their property. The acquisition would allow Mr. and Mrs. Landes to properly slope a new
retaining wall on their property in a manner less conducive to washouts. They asked for a lot

FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS, GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST
CORNER OF GARDENA AVENUE AND BENJAMIN STREET (WARD 2):
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that staff recommended the approval of the final plat with one
additional stipulation. Since the petitioner's surveyor inadvertently neglected to include a 50
foot drainage easement on the mylars for the final plat, staff stipulated that an easement
document be prepared in recordable form and that the document be attached to the recorded final
plat. With this change, staff recommended Council's approval.

Council's concurrence.

this plat. Staff recommended Council's approval.
ADOPTED RESOLUTION NUMBER NO. 98-1999.
10. RESOLUTION APPROVING SPECIAL LEGISLATION AND APPROVING
EXTENSION OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 6:
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that this resolution would approve the terms for extension of the
Medtronic Tax Increment District that were contained in legislation adopted by the State
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING NTINUTES OF DECEMBER 13. 1999 PAGE 4
Legislature in 1999. The law enables the City to extend the duration of this district, TIF District �
No. 6, from 2011 to 2025. These terms have been agreed to by both School District No. 13 and
by Anoka County. The City must file a certificate attesting to these approvals as well as its own .
approval prior to the begin.ning of the next legislative session if the extension is to remain valid.
Staff recommended Council's approval.
THIS ITEI�'I WAS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND PLACED ON
THE REGULAR AGENDA AFTER ITEM NO. 27.
ll. RESOLUTION NO. 100-1999 MODIFYING THE REDEVLOPNIENT PLAN FOR
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT #1 AND THE TAX INCREMENT FINANICNG PLANS
FOR TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICTS NUMBERS 1 THROUGH 3. 6. 7,
AND 9 THROUGH 16 TO REFLECT ENLARGEMENT OF THE PROJECT AREA AND
INCREASED PROJECT COSTS TO BE UNDERTAKEN WITHIN REDEVELOPMENT
PROJECT NUMBER 1:
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that there are three actions encompassed by this resolution. The
first action is enlargement of the City's redevelopment project area. The second action is
modification of TIF budgets within the redevelopment plan. The third action is amendment of
the plan as it relates to TIF District No. 6 in a manner which extends the district in accordance
with 1999 State law.
Mr. Burns said that there were maps included in the packet of the enlargement of the project area.
Extension encompasses land along I-694 from Highway 65 to the Mississippi River. It covers
the Gateway East and Hyde Park areas east of the railroad tracks. It also covers all of the area
west of the tracks from 615` Avenue South. Additionally, it covers Riverview Heights and
seventy scattered parcels that we have identified for future rehabilitation. By extending the
project area, the City would gain the flexibility to do future projects in this area. The action,
however, does not create tax increment financing districts in theses areas. These would be
created later �vhen the City does specific projects.
Mr. Burns continued by saying that the modification of the budgets are for existing districts,
including the Medtronic District (District No. 6). They restate district expenditures in keeping
with revenues raised in the districts. Restated budgets for District Nos. 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12,
13, 14, 15 and 16 are contained in Exhibit I-C of Council's packet material.
Amendment of the TIF Plan No. 6 is to extend the duration of the district. By this action, staff
would be modifying the plan for District No. 6 as provided for in 1999 State legislation. These
modifications have been approved by the Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA),
the Columbia Heights School Board and the Anoka County Board. Staff recommended
Council's approval of these items.
THIS ITEM WAS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND PLACED ON
THE REGULAR AGENDA.

GENERAL OBLIGATION TAX INCREMENT NOTE, SERIES_1997: ,
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF DECEMBER 13 1999 PAGE 5
� Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that in 1997, the City loaned the Fridley HRA $1,500,000 for its
housing rehabilitation loan program. The resolution creates the possibility that a portion of this
� money may be returned by the HRA to the City priar to December 31, 1999. Specifically, it
waives the thirty-day notice requirement that would be necessary for early prepayment of the
loan. Staff recommended Council's approval.
ADOPTED RESOLUTION NO. 101-1999.
13. RESOLUTION NO. 102-1999 AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION OF THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE CITY OF FRIDLEY TO THE METROPOLITAN

Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that with this action Council would be transmitting a copy of
the City's draft Comprehensive Plan to the Metropolitan Council prior to the State imposed

16. APPROVE SNOW REMOVAL OPERATIONS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR
THE CITY OF FRIDLEY FOR THE 1999 THROUGH 2O00 SEASON:
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that this was the same policy that has been used in recent years.
The policy identifies equipment and procedures for plowing City streets under different storm
conditions. For all snow storms, collector streets are plowed first. For normal storms (under
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING NIINUTES OF DECEMBER 13, 1999 PAGE 6
nine inches) the City is divided into ten plowing districts with four alternate starting points. �
Once collector streets are completed, the crews begin plowing neighborhood streets curb to curb.
For storms above nine inches, the City plows a single lane in the neighborhood districts before ,
returning to plow curb to curb. Plowing normally starts when the snow storm subsides. Sanding
begins when the Police Department notifies a Public Works Maintenance on-call person that
slippery conditions exist on a City street.
Beginning January 1, 2000, the Police Department will begin ticketing and towing vehicles that
are left on City streets regardless of whether or not there is snow on the streets. Staff
recommended Council's approval of these policies.

FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING NIINUTES OF DECEMBER 13, 1999 PAGE 9
t PUBLIC HEARING:
. 26. CONSTRUCTION OF A NOISE WALL ON UNIVERSITY AVENUE FROM 44T"
AVENUE TO I-694 (WARD 3):
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom, seconded by Councilmember Barnette, to open the public
hearing. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:58 P.M.
Mr. Flora, Director of Public Works, stated that on November 10, a representative from the Minnesota
Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) conducted an open house regarding the construction of a noise
wall along University Avenue from 44"' Avenue north to I-694 on the west side. 27 people attended.
Council decided to hold a public hearing on this issue to make a position statement to Mn/DOT
supporting or not supporting the decision to go ahead with a design for this wall.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that the Council sent a letter to residents abutting the proposed wall.
Mr. Flora stated that the City sent a letter to all of the residents abutting the wall on Third Street. A
notice was also sent to Focus News to be published.
Mr. Jim Hanson, MnDOT representative, stated that the noise wall would extend from 44`� Avenue to an
area beyond 53�d Avenue on the west side of Trunk Highway 47. In 1995, the State Legislature
requested Mn/DOT to do a noise priority study on all freeways and expressways in the state of
Minnesota. Eight hundred areas were covered. The area along University Avenue was rated number 10
on the list for priorities for a noise wall. Mn/DOT proposed to construct this portion during the summer
of 2000. The cost would be $600,000 to �900,000. A concrete post, wood-flanked noise wall would be
constructed where the right-of-way fence is today. Mn/DOT has already proposed two different projects
along two different roadways. On I-35W the residents and City Council have rejected a noise wall. One
�vas accepted on Trunk Highway 100 in St. Louis Park. Although Mn/DOT proposed the noise wall,
they would not force it to be built. It is up to the City and the residents.
Starting at 44`'' Avenue, there would be about a 10-12 foot wall above the profile of the roadway. Most
of that area has homes that are set back and down lower. From 49�' to beyond 53Td Avenues would be a
15 foot wall. Most of the in-place landscaping would be removed. Mn/DOT would do minimal
replacement of landscaping due to the amount of money available for the project.
Councilmember Barnette asked about the boundaries of the noise wall along 53`d Avenue.
Mr. Hanson stated that it was eight houses just north of 53`d Avenue where it would tie into the present
in-place berm that has been there for about twenty years.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Hanson if he could summarize the comments he received at the
earlier public meeting.
p Mr. Hanson stated that the comments reflected that people supported for the noise wall. One question
was regarding who was going to pay for the noise wall. Mn/DOT would be paying for the full cost of
the noise wall.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF DECEMBER 13. 1999 PAGE 10
Mr. Hanson showed pictures of the noise wall along the Highways 610 and 10 area. The wall is a �
concrete post with wood-flanked noise wall.

Mr. Burns asked Mr. Hanson about the reduction factor of noise by construction of this wall.
Mr. Hanson stated that in this area the noise levels of the present day are in the high 60s to low 70s
decibel level. There would be approximately a seven to ei�ht level decibel reduction. This would be
about five decibels below the standards. The State standards are set up for conversational speech at 65
decibels. That compares to two people talking at a distance of about 3 to 4 feet apart. No noise over that
would interfere with that conversation. An office surrounding is in the mid to high 50 level. MN/Dot is
trying to get to 60 for a noise level. A noise level of 65 would be comparable to TV noise level or a
manual typewriter. A vacuum cleaner would be around 70.
Councilmember Barnette asked if the noise level would be reduced by fifty percent.
Mr. Hanson stated that it would be around forty percent. All of the noise levels that Mn/DOT predicts
and monitors are in an activity area on the ground level, five feet above the ground. They use a
microphone to do the monitoring.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if the noise would bounce back over to the east side of the highway.
Mr. Hanson stated that there will always be some reflection. Mn/DOT has done noise studies where
there are two lanes of traffic like Trunk Highway 47. They determined that it may be a 1 to 1.5 level
increase in noise.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if there were other Fridley sites that have this problem.
Mr. Hanson stated that anywhere there were residential areas Mn/DOT did monitoring. No other sites
ranged quite as high. There were some sites on I-694 on the north side but it did not rank in the top ten.
This particular site ranked number ten on the list. This was combined with one site that had a mid 40s
decibel level on 48`h and 53`d Avenues to make one project. There were some sites on I-694 that had
these problems. One was north of the Cub Foods store on the west and east side going all the way up to
just south of Northtown. Mr. Hanson stated that he did have extra copies if anybody wanted to request
one.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the residents could do landscaping between their yard and the right-
of-way.
Mr. Hanson stated that it was safe to say that Mn/DOT will allow the residents to do landscaping up to
the noise wall. Mn/DOT does not have enough financing available to pay for the equipment for the
landscaping. If anything serious happens with the wall, Mn/DOT would come back and repair that.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that one of the residents had a question about storm drainage between
47`�' and 46`'' Avenues.
Mr. Hanson stated that this project would be a noise wall project. The landscaping would perpetuate the
current drainage along 47"'Avenue. Anything that is west of Mn/DOT right-of-way, is not something
that Mn/DOT is capable to deal with.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING NIINUTES OF DECEMBER 13 1999 PAGE 11
� Councilmember Bolkcom stated that Mr. Flora could make note of the storm drainage problem.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the amount of fumes coming up from the highway from the traffic was a
concern.
Mr. Hanson stated that lead content comes from gasoline. There has not been any gas stations offering
leaded gasoline for twenty years in the metropolitan area. The State of Minnesota's air quality is
improving all of the time due to their maintenance level of carbon monoxide. There would be some
carbon monoxide problems in areas with heavy traffic, but they have not had a violation with the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency in five years. Mn/DOT does not deal with pollution aspects with a
noise wall pertaining to air quality. If they were doing a major rebuild like adding lanes, they would be
looking at doing quality monitoring.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if there would be any special assessments to any of the residents in this
area.
Mr. Hanson stated that Mn/DOT Metro Division would be financing this project out of their own
construction and maintenance budgets and putting $1,500,000 per year into these projects.
Mr. Mike Riley, 4703 Third Street, stated that his property abuts where the noise wall would be. His
concern was the drainage between 47`h and 46`''Avenues. He said there are drains that get flooded on the
highway. When the big super rains come, it runs into yards right up to the edge of houses. He asked if
the noise wall would provide a dam to possibly shift water from coming into the yards.
Mr. Hanson stated that the noise wall would go down to the ground level and may have minimal
retention on the highway side.
Mr. Riley stated that the problem was that when the grass �vas cut, the grass would get washed down the
drains, build up and catch dirt. He really wanted the noise wall to be constructed. He felt the noise was
very loud in his back yard in the evenings and mornings. He said there are many trucks in the morning.
He said the noise from the trucks is very loud. He said there has been an increase in traffic since he
bought his house in 199 L
Mr. Loren Smerud, 4603 Third Street, stated that his backyard would be right down to the wall. He
would like to thank Mn/DOT for taking them into consideration and giving them the information they
needed. They cannot have neighbors over to visit in the backyard because of the noise. He felt the noise
would only keep increasing. From that standpoint, he was in favor of the wall. Because it is up to the
neighborhood, he and some others went out to visit residences to sign a petition for supporting the wall.
They obtained 83 signatures in support of the wall. He stated that he would leave the list with the names
and telephone numbers of the citizens who signed the petition.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Smerud if he knows how many citizens were not in support of the
wall.
Mr. Smerud stated that the petition was only for people who were in support of the wall. There were a
few who were against the wall, some did not care, but most were in support. He would highly
recommend that Council approve the wall.
Councilmember Bolkcom thanked him and his neighbors for taking the time to circulate a petition.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING �IINUTES OF DECEMBER 13 1999 PAGE 12
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to accept the petition. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette. �
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE .
NIOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Jeff Jansen, 4727 Third Street, stated that he had a question about the storm water. Twice since
1987 he has had water flood his foundation. He thinks he saw someone from Mn/DOT working on the
storm water drainage problem, but he was not sure. He felt that five years from now, the traffic will be
twice as bad. He said he wanted the wall built.
Mr. Smerud asked how long the walls usually last.
Mr. Hanson stated that the wall should last twenty years. Most of the noise walls built up to the present
are at least twenty years. If repair is needed, Mn/DOT will come out and reconstruct. They have only
had that happen twice in the last 25 years.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if they had to replace any walls.
Mr. Hanson stated that the only ones they actually had to replace were on I-35W.
Mayor Jorgenson asked what they do with the process of repairing the walls if they have to go through a
resident's property to do so.
Mr. Hanson stated that they would have to get an easement if they have to, but they have cherry pickers
to use to avoid that.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked how they could deal with the storm drainage problem.
Mr. Flora stated that they have done some work along University Avenue with the drainage system. The
water seems to back up when debris gets into the drainage system.
Mr. Hanson stated that he could contact their water resource people and then get back to Mr. Flora.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that there are several sections of Highway 47 that have this problem any time
there is a major rainfall where water is standing on the highway. Part of the problem is due to the
maintenance of the corridor. The City is taking on the maintenance all within its boundaries.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that maintaining that corridor should help that problem.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to close the public hearing. Seconded by Council-member
Barnette.

27. RESOLtiTION NO. 108-1999 SUPPORTING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A TRUNK
HIGHWAY 47 NOISE `VALL:
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to approve the resolution supporting the construction of a Trunk
Highway 47 noise wall. Seconded by Councilmember Billings.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANII�IOUSLY.
Councilmember Bolkcom thanked residents for coming to the meeting and for their hard work with the
petition. The neighborhood speaks.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she lives near I-694 and Highway 65. She lives with that noise everyday,
and she understands why the citizens are present with the petitioner and necessary signatures.
Councilmember Barnette asked Mr. Hanson when the construction would begin.
Mr. Hanson stated that it would probably start in July.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that residents should be reminded that the old fence will be coming down.
There will be work being done in everybody's back yards, and they need room to work. Mayor
Jorgenson asked Mr. Hanson if they would take the old fence down a couple of weeks before it starts.
Mr. Hanson stated that a couple of weeks is probably correct.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that everybody will be notified beforehand with a letter.
Mr. Hanson stated that was correct.
Mr. Curt Nitschke, 4610 Third Street, asked what MN/Dot will do with the old fence.
Mr. Hanson stated that they try to salvage it somewhere, but if anyone was interested in getting some of
it, a project engineer and the contractor could be consulted.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the project manager's telephone number would be in the letter that
residents receive.
Mr. Hanson stated that the project manager engineer would be the main contact. His telephone number
and name and date of construction will also be in the letter.
Mr. Robert Archer, 4595 Third Street, stated that between 44`� and 45"' Avenues on the east side people
were unaware of the wall.
Mr. Hanson stated that he should talk to the City of Columbia Heights. The original letter included both
. the Fridley and Columbia Heights area.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF DECEMBER 13 1999 PAGE 14
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that they could make a copy of the petition and notify Columbia �
Heights to contact the people to let them know what is going on.
Mr. Hanson stated that they would contact Columbia Hei�hts.
10. RESOLUTION NO. 99-1999 APPROVING SPECIAL LEGISLATION AND
APPROVING EXTENSION OF TAX INCRENTENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 6:
Mayor Jorgenson asked if there was any notification to the neighborhood regarding this.
Ms. Dacy, Director of Community Development, stated that the map depicting the additional project
areas was published in Focus News. According to State law, there is no individual notice needed to go
to each individual property owner. They presented this to the Planning Commission in September prior
to the Council's public hearing on October 11.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the enlargement of the project area would help them deal with some of the
other issues as well.
MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to approve Resolution No. 100-1999 approving special

28. RESOLUTION CERTIFYING THE FINAL TAX LEVY REQUIREMENTS FOR 2000
TO THE COUNTY OF ANOKA:
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that they are proposing to certify $4,035,671 to Anoka County for the
City's property tax levy for the year 2000. Ms. Skogen, City Clerk, included $3,947,882 in property
taxes for the benefit of the General Fund, $72,689 for the Capital Project Fund, and $6,200 to the benefit
of the Six Cities Watershed Management Organization. $8,900 is included for the Stonybrook Creek
Sub-Watershed Districts. Staff recommended approval of the resolution.
Councilmember Billings asked if this was the property tax portion of the budget.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING NIINUTES OF DECEMBER 13, 1999 PAGE 15
Mr. Burns stated that was correct.
Councilmember Billings asked if this was the amount that they have preliminarily certified to Anoka
County without an increase. The budget presented includes this amount and in addition provides
�650,000 of franchise fees, and another nine-tenths of a million dollars of money coming out of reserves
in order to balance spending with the revenues.
Mr. Burns stated that was correct.
Councilmember Billings stated that the motion is not necessarily the adoption of the budget, but merely
the portion that has to do with real-estate taxes whether or not the franchise fee passes tomorrow. The
revenues are less than the expenditures, so this is an amount that will not be affected by the vote of the
referendum.
Mr. Burns stated that the General Fund portion is about thirty-four percent of revenues but has nothing
to do with the franchise fee.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to adopt the resolution. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom.
Mayor Jorgenson asked how many votes they need on this item.
Mr. Pribyl stated that it would need a four-fifths vote on the budget levy itself. On the budget, it would
need a three-fifths vote.
Mayor Jorgenson asked what would happen if the levy did not pass this evening.
Mr. Pribyl, Director of Finance, stated that they would need to pass this before the end of the year. They
need to certify the levy to the County priar to December 20.
Councilmember Billings asked 1Vlayor Jorgenson if she had a reason to vote against the levy.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she has talked to many community members in the last week. Many are
concerned with whether or not the franchise fee passes. She was curious as to why they need to push
this through without knowing what the final vote was going to be.
Councilmember Billings asked what impact the outcome of the final vote would have on her decision to
certify the levy. If the vote is affirmative, the budget would be balanced. If the vote is not affirmative,
he asked how that would affect the ad valorem tax.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that it would not affect the tax, because the levy has pretty much been set. They
could reduce the levy limit, but that would put them in a bigger negative position than they are currently.
It was more a presumption in the community that Council was trying to pass something when they did
not have all of the information. She suggested they take a look at doing this at the next meeting when
they have all of the information before them.
Councilmember Billings stated that the ad valorem tax was indicated to the County in December for
what the maximum could be, if the majority vote tomorrow is in the negative and they cannot have the
franchise fee, there is absolutely no opportunity to raise the ad valorem tax. They are already spending
nine-tenths of a million dollars from the budget reserves because staff recommended holding the levy at
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF DECEMBER 13 1999 PAGE 16
the 1998 level. He said he did not have a problem with tabling this portion, but he felt nothing would
change after the election tomorrow, as it refers to the ad valorem tax.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to this item. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that this item would come back to the Council on December 20.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
29. RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE FINAL BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2000:
Councilmember Billings stated that this should be tabled until after the result of the franchise fee vote is
known. He has a problem with passing something that they are unsure of the balance of. These votes are
coming on the calendar for the levy for today, because that is when the Council scheduled this in June.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to table this item. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
30. INFORMAL STATUS REPORTS:
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the election would be held tomorrow for the utility franchise fee. The polls
�vould be open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Mr. Pribyl, Director of Finance, stated that if anybody has any questions they could call the switchboard
at the Municipal Center at 571-3450.
Mayor Jorgenson asked Mr. Pribyl about the completion of the liquor store.
Mr. Pribyl stated that the liquor store will be completed probably in the first part of the year.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the meeting on December 20 started at 7:00 p.m. or 7:30 p.m.
Mr. Burns stated that it starts at 7:30 p.m.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if the election vote would be televised.
Mr. Burns stated that it would be televised on Channel 35 with an election report as soon as it comes in.
They are also hoping for something on the Fridley web site.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that they are using paper ballots tomorrow so it will take more time.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Flora about the street signs on East River Road.
Mr. Flora, Director of Public Works, stated that they are making new ones. They hope to have them up �
by the first week in January.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF DECEMBER 13 1999 PAGE 17
� Mayor Jorgenson asked about the Riverview Heights project.
Mr. Flora stated that was all completed about one month ago.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she noticed there was still a lot of gravel do��n by 79``' Way and
Rivervie«• Terrace.
Mr. Flora stated that they swept three times this fall. He said they may have winterized their equipment,
but he would check it out to see if it is operational.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that it is all the way down 79`'' Way from the turn off at Buffalo Street
and Alden Way.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she received a letter of commendation for Mark Foster about the Municipal
Garage. The letter commends the effort of maintaining Police Department vehicles and other City
equipment saving thousands of dollars by repairing vehicles and extending the life of the vehicles. This
was signed by Paul Lawrence, Superintendent of Public Works.
Councilmember Billings asked how the meeting went on Friday with Mn/DOT re�arding Old Central
Avenue.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that MnDOT presented the information they obtained through their traffic study.
They stated that there were 440 cars per hour making a free right-turn on Highway 65 onto Old Central
Avenue. There is no way they can currently erect a stop sign at that location on a no right turn on red
during peak hours. That would back up traffic all the way to the new I-694 ramp. They did talk about
potential solutions, one being a right turn in and a right turn out on Hackmann and Old Central Avenues.
They are looking at a couple of other possibilities. They may be looking at a possible road
reconfiguration in that area. They will be considering courses of action to take in May of 2001. There is
a potential for creating two new traffic lanes across the causeway that will help with the traffic
congestion going into the Medtronic site. They will continue to monitor and watch, especially with the
Medtronic site going in.
Ms. Dacy, Director of Community Development, stated that on Wednesday, December 15, the Planning
Commission would be conducting its first official public hearing regarding the most current draft of the
Comprehensive Plan.

Councilmember Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that this was consideration of a resolution certifying the
final tax levy requirements for 2000 to Anoka County.
` Mr. Burns said the City is proposing to certify $4,035,671 to Anoka County as the City's
property tax levy for the year 2000. The total includes the following components: 1) The
� General Fund, $3,947,992; 2) Capital Improvement Fund - Parks $72,689; 3) Six Cities
THE 1VIINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF DECEMBER 20 1999 PAGE 2
Watershed Management Organization, $6,200; and 4) Stonybrook Creek Subwatershed �
District, $8,900.
Councilmember Billings stated that he realized that staff indicated that because of the
information that has been provided to the State with the need to approve the levy before
they approve the budget, maybe Council should be discussing the budget before they
approve the levy.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if they should discuss the budget first. It may make more sense
to accept the special election canvass before anything else.
Councilmember Barnette stated that it does not make a difference which sequence they
take. The Canvass could probably wait.
Councilmember Bollccom stated that she thought they should do the special election
canvass first.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to discuss Item No. 3. Seconded by Council-
member Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAJOR JORGENSON
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
3. RECEIVE THE STATEMENT OF CANVASS FROM THE SPECIAL ELECTION
OF DECEMBER 14, 1999:
Ms. Deb Skogen, City Clerk, stated that the special election was held on December 14,
1999, regarding the proposed franchise fee. The statement of canvass had to be approved
within seven days from the date of the election. The total number of ballots cast in this
election, was 3,373. The total number of yes votes was 577, and no votes was 2,795,
with one blank ballot.
On election day at 7:00 a.m. there were 16,210 registered voters and 94 new registered
voters for a total of 16,304 voters. There was a twenty-one percent turnout on election
day. For a special election, this is considered high compared to some elections which ran
from ten to twelve percent. The question was defeated and the margin of defeat was
eighty-three percent. Council needs to verify the results of the election by motion.
MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to receive the Statement of Canvass from the
Special Election of December 14, 1999. Seconded by Councilmember Wolfe.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAJOR JORGENSON
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the last portion of New Business can wait until after the Old �
Business information was finished.
THE NIINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF DECEMBER 20 1999 PAGE 3
� 1. RESOLUTION NO. 109-1999 CERTIFYING THE FINAL TAX LEVY
REOUIREMENTS FOR 2000 TO THE COUNTY OF ANOKA (TABLED
� DECEMBER 13, 1999): �
Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Burns, City Manager, if the resolution was the same
budget that was presented on December 6.
Mr. Burns stated that was it was the same budget.
Councilmember Billings asked if it had $650,000 as an income item from the franchise
fee.
Mr. Burns stated that it listed that under Charges for Services.
Councilmember Billings asked if it would be appropriate to strike that income item since
they know that income will not exist.
Mr. Burns stated that was a matter of Council's discretion.
Councilmember Billings stated that he feels a total lack of sense of responsibility
approving a budget that he knows is out of balance.
Councilmember Barnette asked if they could still balance the budget by transferring funds
out of the reserve.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that they could, but they would be looking at a$1,000,002 draw
down of the reserves in order to balance the budget.
Mr. Burns stated that they could transfer it out, or wait until some point when it is more
apparent where they will wind up in terms of the expenditures. A combination of
positive variances in expenditures and revenues may very well cover that $650,000 and
they would not need to transfer that.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked how realistic that was because $650,000 is a big
variance. They would be better off taking the franchise fee out as Councilmember
Billings suggested and actually look at what they can cut out for the expenditures for next
year.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she would have to agree with Councilmember Billings and
would like it removed from the budget.
Councilmember Barnette stated that was the responsible thing to do. He heard loud and
clear the people do not want any new taxes.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she heard a lot of people say they do not believe the
City should have a franchise fee, but she heard a lot of people say they have no problem
with having their property taxes increased. They cannot do that at this point because they
had to certify their preliminary levy to the County in September.
THE MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF DECEVIBER 20 1999 PAGE 4
Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that what they could do for due process would be to
approve the budget as it is right now and modify it during the first quarter. This would be
in lieu of actually switching items around now, Council and staff could evaluate where
the cuts would be, and then provide resulting changes to the budget in a supplemental
resolution. Passing it, would be in order, and then in the first quarter go through a
process of evaluating what those changes would be.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked why they would not take the franchise fee as revenue off
the budget now, and still leave everything else that is in there. She asked why the City
would leave something in there that they know is not going to happen.
Mr. Pribyl stated that is an option.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she agreed that Council would have to look at ne�t year's
budget to see where additional funds would come from or what is going to be removed.
That would have to be done by the first quarter of 2000. She concurred with
Councilmember Billings that they should examine the budget.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that they have already had some discussion about things
that could be cut from the budget. Maybe the conference meeting in January would be a
good time to discuss this.
Mr. Burns stated that the meeting was January 31 and that could be the topic.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that it was really clear to him that no one wants a new tax.
No one seems to have a problem with their taxes being raised, but it is the new tax that is
bugging them.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that the problem is that they cannot do anything about
increasing the property taxes.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that he realized that, but maybe at some point in the future
they may if they have to.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that there was a real possibility that in the Fridley budget, year
2001, they will see an increase in property taxes. She was not willing to transfer any
more money from the reserve. She also felt there �vas a way of cutting down some
expenditures.
Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Pribyl where the $650,000 appears.
Mr. Pribyl stated that it is listed under Charges for Services in General Government.
Councilmember Billings stated that if they take $650,000 out of there, the number
becomes $888,260. In the expense items for the appropriations, the painting of the signal
poles and fixtures and Fire/Public Works classroom, office, and locker room appears in
that line item.
�
THE MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF DECEMBER 20. 1999 PAGE 5
Mr. Burns stated that the painting of the signal poles and fixtures were in the Capital
Improvements under Streets Capital Improvement. The Fire/Public Works classroom,
office, and locker rooms appears under Capital Improvements under General Capital.
Councilmember Billings asked where the ADA improvements appeared.
Mr. Burns stated that it appears in Parks Capital Improvement under General Capital.
They will have some positive hearings for the budget as a result of police officer
turnover. He said there is actually $50,000 less for salaries. Because of the starting
salaries for new employees. There have been some savings to help with the situation.
Mr. Pribyl stated that they have the PERA information and they have to figure out how it
is going to be integrated into the budget for the year 2000 but it will probably be of some
assistance.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if he meant the Public Employees Retirement Association.
Mr. Pribyl stated that was correct, it is the police pension.
Mr. Burns stated that he is not sure they want to take the ADA improvements out of the
budget. If they do, the parks improvements without the asphalt paths would not be as
valuable
Mayor Jorgenson stated that makes sense.
Mr. Burns stated they also have the refund coming from the State of Minnesota, which
can be used to offset some of the loss of the $650,000.
Councilmember Barnette stated that he knows this is the last year for the playground
equipment. He felt it was a little premature to talk about specific items. He would like to
talk in more general terms if they could. The park improvements are the last of the six
year plan.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that Mr. Pribyl indicated that they do not necessarily
have to do the cuts this evening. It may be appropriate for each department manager to
go back and set priorities on the loss of the �650,000 and possibly talk with them in
January. Maybe there are more creative ways to do some other things.
Councilmember Barnette stated that they really have not talked about these things in
detail and waiting until the January meeting would be appropriate to talk about specific
things.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that if they want to reduce those revenues by $650,000, they have
to reduce the expenditure side as well. They could say they will reduce the expenditures
by $650,000, which will be determined at a conference meeting in January.
• Councilmember Billings stated that was good in theory, but it is not practical. They need
to have line items that balance. They cannot put a line item on the appropriations side of
a negative $650,000 to be determined later. In terms of the General Fund, they are
THE NIINUTES OF THE SPECIAL 1�IEETING OF DECEMBER 20 1999 PAGE 6
r
looking at reducing the charges for services by $650,000 and increasing the General Fund
reserves brought down by that same amount so the General Fund balances. They would
then have to determine whether they want to leave it like that and look at changing the •
Capital Projects fund in January. They would be able to balance the General Fund by
taking funds out of the reserve fund and reducing the amount that is coming out of the
reserve under another one of the funds, typically the Capital Projects Improvements fund.
Based on the instructions from the State, they can talk about the budget, but when it
comes time to make a motion, they have to save the approval of this until after they file
the appropriations to the County. They should concentrate on whether the current ad
valorem amount of $3,825,521 should be changed. Mayor Jorgenson did not want to vote
on this until they received the outcome of the franchise fee vote.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that they could not increase the ad valorem amount, only
decrease it. She was responding to citizens' inquiries of why they were going to go ahead
and certify the final tax levy and the budget before they had the election resolved. People
do not understand the ramifications of those two items and they thought Council was
being premature by passing them before the election vote. She does not feel the need to
change the ad valorem part of the General Fund.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to approve the Resolution No. 109-99 Certifying
the Final Tax Levy Requirements for 2000 to the County of Anoka. Seconded by
Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
2. RESOLUTION NO. 110-1999 ADOPTING THE FINAL BUDGET FOR THE
FISCAL YEAR 2000 (TABLED DECEMBER 13,1999Z
Mr. Burns stated that this was consideration of a resolution adopting the final budget for
the Fiscal Year 2000. The total appropriations for all funds is $13,988,218. This
includes the following components. 1) The General Fund $11,524,624. 2) Special
Revenue Funds, $916,164. 3) Capital Projects Fund, $1,541,200. 4) Agency Fund,
$6,200.
The City held its Truth in Taxation Hearing on December 6 and as required by Minnesota
law announced the date of consideration of the budget resolution. Staff recommended
Council's approval of the budget resolution.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to adopt the Resolution No. 110 with the
following amendments, Charges for Service General Government: changing the General
Fund estimated revenue striking $1,538,260 and substituting the amount of $888,260.
The total revenues and other financing sources would become $10,401,289. The General
Fund Reserve would become $1,123,365 (increased by $650,000). Seconded by
Councilmember Barnette. `
Mayor Jorgenson asked if Councilmember Billings was suggesting that they take money
from the General Fund until the time that expenditure cuts can be made on the
appropriations side.
THE MINtiTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF DECEMBER 20 1999 PAGE 7
� Councilmember Billings stated that the motion is to change the amount under the General
Fund to reflect that the $650,000 comes out the General Fund Reserve. It is likely that
• there would be other motions to adjust other portions of the budget.
Councilmember Billings stated that the motion reduces the General Fund by $650,000 so
the item reads $888,260, increases the General Fund reserves by $650,000 so that line
item reads � 1,123,365, and directs staff to put the appropriate numbers in to make it add
up. He believes that appropriate number, to be $10,401.298, under Total Revenues and
Other Financing Sources.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, COUNCILMENIBER BILLINGS, COUNCILMEMBER
BOLKCOM, COUNCILMEMBER BARNETTE, AND COUNCILMEMBER
WOLFE VOTING AYE, AND MAYOR JORGENSON VOTING NAY, MAYOR
JORGENSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED FOUR TO ONE.
Councilmember Billings asked Mayor Jorgenson if she wanted to leave the $650,000 in
the line item for General Government.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she did not want to see that item placed under the General
Fund Reserves. She felt that in the January discussion it would be determined that
nothing will be cut from the budget.
Councilmember Billings asked what items she would like to eliminate under the
appropriations side of the General Fund
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she understood that $650,000 was going to be removed from
the General Capital Improvements, Street Capital Improvements, and Parks Capital
Improvement funds. Then they could come back and make additional supplemental
changes following the January meeting.
Councilmember Billings stated that is in a different portion so in order for the General
Fund to balance they need to take more out of the reserves and put it into the General
Fund. Then they can take less out of reserves under the Capital Projects Fund.
Councilmember Billings stated that they could leave the motion the way it was presented
and not make any changes to the other portion.
Councilmember Billings stated that would be up to a majority vote of Council.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she does not have enough information to do some
slashing on Capital Improvement.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that it should not necessarily by taken from the Capital
Improvement portion.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that they can adjust those as they go along.
Councilmember Barnette stated that he does not want to make any decisions now on
where the cuts should be exactly.
THE NIINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF DECEMBER 20 1999 PAGE S
Councilmember Billings stated that the Total General Fund amount of $11,524,654
would stay the same.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the original motion is still on the floor, the amendment
passed. She asked if there were other suggestions or amendments.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to amend the item of the Capital Projects Fund,
under General Capital Improvements to amend to $19,500, to amend the Streets Capital
Improvement fund to $680,000, and to amend the Parks Capital Improvement fund to
�103,700. The total Appropriations would be changed to $803,200. Fund Balance would
be changed to $270,425 on the revenue side. The total Capital Projects Fund would be
$803,200. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
Councilmember Billings stated that this would take $300,000 from the Streets Capital
Improvement Fund which is the painting of signals and fxtures. It would take $237,000
from General Capital Improvement Fund which is the Fire/Public Works classroom,
office and locker room facility. It would take $201,000 from the Parks Capital
Improvement Fund which is the ADA improvements. This adds up to $738,000,
approximately $88,000 more than what they are losing with the franchise fees but put
these in the position where they have a balanced budget. The total impact would be to
draw down the reserves less than the original proposal and still allow them in the first
quarter to look at changes in the budget.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that if they did this, they could still have discussion and
then change the budget as they go along. There may be something that is not due next
year or as costly as they think.
Councilmember Billings stated that any time during the year, they can have a resolution
to change the budget. The big difference is that next year it will take four votes and this
year it takes three votes. He would like a five minute recess to add up the numbers so the
total numbers are the same before they actually pass the budget.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she was a little concerned about taking the money
out of the Capital Improvements Fund. She was not so concerned about the painting of
the light fixtures. That is why she asked if they could have resolutions at any time for
changes because they would have to do that relatively soon to change the Parks fund.
Her concern was that Council would still have a lot of discussion in January.
Councilmember Billings stated that is his goal, but his main concern this evening was to
pass a budget that balances and is logical. He has heard the people that contacted them.
Unfortunately, seventy-nine percent of the people chose not to contact them or vote. The
first impulse was to say that the twenty-one percent who did vote speak for the entire
seventy-nine percent. There was some validity that those who chose to be silent are
allowing those who voted to speak for them. The majority of people said that they do not
�vant Council to spend any more money than they have to. They want police and fire
protection, streets that are well-maintained and plowed. He heard they did not want the
City to take care of children after school, senior citizens and people that are using
recreation programs. If people are going to use those programs, there needs to be user
fees.
THE i�IINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF DECENIBER 20 1999 PAGE 9
Councilmember Barnette stated that is what Council needs to discuss at their conference
meeting and have input from citizens. He has heard different things from different
people.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she would have to disagree. The survey showed that there
was a decrease in the number of youth that were participating in the programs. They are
going to have to take a look at the types of services the City is expected to provide for the
citizens, and it is generally police, fire, public safety, and public works. She has heard
strong support for City parks.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she felt that people were basically happy with the
services they received. There needs to be more discussion about the drop-off, curfew and
the Zone and some other things. There is a fine line between what government does and
some of the social issues.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that neighbors outside of School District No. 14 asked why the
services were being provided in that school district and not in any other school district.
Mr. Pribyl stated that all of the figures have been checked. Under Charges for Services,
General Government is $888,260. Fund Balance is �1,123,365. Total Revenues and
Other Financing Sources is $10,401,289.
Councilmember Billings stated that the General Fund now balances.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to call a five minute recess. Seconded by
Councilmember Barnette.

Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she did not think there should be any more changes
because the budget is now balanced and they need to seriously look at this in detail.

of all funds, the new number which is $13,250,218. Seconded by Councilmember
Barnette.

5. INFORMAL STATUS REPORTS:
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that they received an e-mail on the Y2K improvements.
Mr. Burns stated that there is standby staffing of the Public Works Department as well as the
piiblic safety departments. They tested their generators and they are all working. He felt they
were prepared. If anybody has any questions they can call Bill Champa, Management Assistant,
at 572-3502.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that on December 31 there will be a family New Year's Eve event at
Springbrook Nature Center at 4:00 p.m. There will be an evening program there for adults as
well. Advance registration is required by calling the City of Fridley at 571-3450.
6. RESOLUTION NO. 111-1999 PROVIDING FOR SEWER RATE DECREASES:
Mayor Jorgenson stated that this is another item added to the agenda by Councilmember Billings
for a resolution for sewer rates for the City of Fridley. The resolution is regarding sewer rates
decreasing. She would like to have some discussion regarding this resolution.
Councilmember Bamette stated that this is not a part of the budget.
Mr. Burns stated that was correct. They budget the Enterprise Funds separate.
Councilmember Billings stated that the Metropolitan Council has been lowering the rates since
1998. The Metropolitan Council operates the treatment plant and charges all of the cities in the
metropolitan area a fee. They have reduced their rates. Many of the cities in the metropolitan
area have reduced their rates. The Metropolitan sewer board has decreased rates from $135 per
100,000 gallons in 1998 to a fee of $120 per 100,000 gallons in the year 2000. That amount go
down to $118 per 100,000 in the year 2001. The intent of the City Council is to pass those rates
onto the sewer customers for the utility billing process. Last summer when staff presented these
numbers to them, it was his suggestion that they look at the possibility of reducing these rates to
reflect the reduction from the Metropolitan Council. Addressing this issue now in December is
important to make the adjustment for the billing period of January 2000.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that this reduction would only be taken on the Metropolitan Sewer and
Waste Commission's portion of the bill.
Councilmember Billings stated that was correct.
Mayor Jorgenson asked Mr. Pribyl if he was going to be able to have this implemented with the
January billing.
Mr. Pribyl stated that they would be able to do that.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to approve a resolution providing for sewer rate decreases.
Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.

Please be reminded that those present at today's meeting may hold a variety of views and
opinions regarding the business to be conducted. The exercise of democracy through
representative local government requires that ALL points of view be accommodated at these
proceedings. It is further expected that a standard of mutual courtesy and respectfulness be

respect which you desire to be given your views and opinions. Any departures from this
standard will be addressed by the Presiding Officer through whatever means are deemed
appropriate. Thank you for your attendance at today's meeting, and your agreement to abide by
these standards of personal conduct.
STATE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE:
Senator Betzold stated that the legislators like to meet with Council prior to the legislative
session to discuss any issues that may come up, and also to meet after the session is over to
discuss what actually happened. The legislature will be having a session on February l, 2000.
This is the clean-up session for the bills that were not acted upon at the end of last session.
Major issues will not be funding issues, although some adjustments may need to be made. The
proposed surplus is really a projection as to what could be there at the end of the current biennial
on June 30, 2001.
Senator Betzold said that the legislature may be looking at approving funding for education,
health care, and transportation. The bonding bill is probably the major. issue. It is possible that
tab fees on license plates may be reduced this year, but that is tied to major funding for
highways. Rural legislators are quite concerned about lowering tab fees because the fees do go
� towards the roads and ninety percent of the roads are rural. There is likely to be some emphasis
on sex offenders especially following the Katie Poirier case. There is a DWI Task Force making
• the DWI laws less complex statewide. Education is going to get some attention with the teacher
shortage coming up. Fifteen percent of current teachers are going to be retiring within the next
five years.
THE MINUTES OF THE JANUARY 3 2000 MEETING PAGE 2
Senator Betzold indicated that he was not aware of too many local government issues that would
be coming up at this time. Legislation was passed last year that sets a standard for bleachers and
establishes some money into grants to help make bleachers safer. The Governor vetoed the
funding, but the policy stayed in effect. They will have to go back and revisit the issue.
Senator Betzold stated that he was working on strengthening animal cruelty laws, since
Minnesota has some of the weakest laws in the nation. It stalled in the last house committee, so
they are going to try to pass it this year. Senator Betzold indicated that he currently chairs the
data privacy subcommittee in the Minnesota Senate. This is expected to be a big issue and
would affect local government. Many laws were written in the era of paper and file cabinets.
The law does not really address how to handle the electronic age and the Internet. The public
wants more and more data through the Internet, but they are also recommending more privacy.
The big debate will be the unicameral issue. He was not sure how it would play out, but the
issue would be heard in committees in the House and the Senate this year.
Councilmember Barnette asked if citizens would receive any rebate this year and if the rebate
had already been determined. He asked how individuals should apply for the rebate.
Senator Betzold stated that the law that is on the books about rebates is still being used. It sets a
time period for people to file for their taxes and is based on people who filed in 1997 because
that was the last full year of tax rebates they had. Some people fell through the cracks. Some
people qualified but did not get their rebates for whatever reason. The new rebate has to be
addressed as yet. (Senator Betzold thought the first priority would be to refund the people who
missed the rebate last time and then see what the numbers look like.)
Representative Alice Johnson stated that she thought two possible things might happen. There
would have to be some way to deal with the excess revenue being directed by the State because
of the economy. There could be a permanent tax cut, but then there would probably not be a
rebate. This is one of the major decisions that needs to be made.
Councilmember Barnette stated that there was an article in Star Tribune in November or
December that indicated that people would receive another rebate in July of 2000.
Representative Johnson stated that she did not think that was absolute. There are differences of
opinions on certain topics such as the tab fees in the House and Senate. She was interested in
finding out how many people would benefit before she makes her decision on the tab fees. The
research she had done indicates that a larger percentage of the people in Anoka County would
not benefit. More people in Anoka County drive older cars. For them to pay as much as
someone who drives a newer car would not be beneficial to them. She thought maybe there
could be a new survey about the different types of cars people drive to aid in the decision.
Unicameral is another issue that she is certain would come up. The issue was whether it should
go to the people or not and the people would let their legislators know how they felt.
Senator Novak stated he heard that a significant tax cut has been proposed, but he did not know
if it was a permanent cut or some form of rebate. The next rebate was a projection, but they
would still have to pass it in the next couple of months. He expected that they would pass it. He
said the House would come out with a major tax cut, and the Senate would end up matching the
dollar figure to split between a rebate and two or three other tax items such as property tax and
license tab fees. There was already $50,000,000 on the books for K-12 education. There are
THE MINU'i'ES OF THE JANUARY 3. 2000 MEETING PAGE 3
►
other issues floating around in health care with prescription drugs and senior health care
programs. The permanent income tax cut went on the books last July, and a couple of million
` taxpayers had their taxes adjusted on a permanent basis. He did not get one single telephone call,
letter or e-mail. One month later the banks were so crowded with people with rebate checks.
The public said they like the rebates. From a budgetary standpoint, the rebates are more
manageable than a permanent rate cut because a rebate is one-time money going out. The rate
cuts are permanent. The economy is so strong, and the revenues continue to come in. When you
are looking at a two-year budget and the economy changes, the impact would be more severe
because the cuts are on the book and the revenue side of the budget would already be set to be
distributed. It was important to keep the decisions they make that tie their funding stable.
Senator Novak indicated that there has been a lot of debate over utilities on deregulation,
telecommunications, merging and competition. They are about two years into discussion on the
possibility of deregulation, and the City has also had a good deal of interest in that issue. The
legislature will continue to have hearings and interaction with organizations around the State.
Mr. Burns asked Senator Novak if anyone was working on the impact of electronic trade and
sales tax revenues and what that will do for future surpluses.
Senator Novak stated that the answer was yes. The question was what and how to do it. It was a
touchy subject. Electric commerce is something a lot of people have their hands on. It would be
hard to increase the cost of doing business there.
Representative Johnson stated that the topic has not been favorably received. As electronic
commerce continues to grow, they will be forced to take a look at how much they rely on the
present sales. Her own friends and family told her about their purchase of Gateway computers
from other states. They had no idea that they were subject to the user tax that people should be
paying. Last year the Department of Revenue had a piece of legislation that put a line on the
income tax form for people to self-report on the use tax. This is a tax people are legally bound to
and it has not been well received.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she wanted to remind the legislators that the people do not want to
see a sales tax or a user fee put on other governmental units such as school districts or non-profit
churches. Most of them are not aware that the City of Fridley has to pay a sales tax to the State
of Minnesota for goods that they use. As long as there are extra sales tax revenues out there, one
way to help alleviate some City budget problems would be to remove that sales tax from the
City's budget. The levy limits are starting to have some dramatic effects on many of the
northern suburbs, and it needed to be reviewed. She did not think that City government spending
was way out of control or that the City could not be trusted by their legislators. Many out-state
legislators do not trust the in-city folks. The legislators need to work on how to better
communicate.
Senator Betzold stated that he believed the levy limits might expire this year.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that would happen unless they were extended.
• Senator Betzold stated that it happened before, but the Senate was trying to get rid of levy limits.
THE NIINUTES OF THE JANUARY 3 2000 MEETING PAGE 4
Mayor Jorgenson stated that this year Council would be looking at an appointment to the Six r
Cities Watershed District. That has traditionally been a position for one of the City's staff
members in a joint power agreement with five other cities. Due to some legislation last year, .
they are no longer able to appoint City staff but instead must appoint a citizen. Mr. John Flora,
Director of Public Works, has just presented a budget for the Rice Creek Watershed District.
This is an example on what citizen advisory groups can do to property taxes that would be levied
against all of the City. Mr. Flora also reported on some projects that are specifically related to
developers that are now going to be placed on an ad valorum tax that everybody in the Rice
Creek Watershed District will have to pay. She felt the feedlot issue was of interest. If someone
would choose to have a feedlot on their property in the northeast section of the Rice Creek
Watershed District, she asked why everybody in Fridley should have to pay the ad valorum tax.
There are several other issues related to that. These appointments to the Watershed Districts can
have a direct effect on the budget of the City and the taxpayers.
Mayor Jorgenson indicated that another issue is privacy rights for Minnesota driver's licenses
and license plates. The State of Minnesota is currently selling the names of people that have new
license plates. Many young women, unknowingly, are having their name, address, and date of
birth given out because they are neglecting to sign the back of their license plate registration
forms each year which indicates that they do not wish to have this information sold. Anoka
County is also doing the same thing with people who are redoing their mortgages. This
information is being sold to anyone who wants it. Sales people are calling and talking a lot to the
senior citizens about a reverse mortgage on their home and trying to convince them to refinance.
Senator Betzold stated that the legislature spent time on these issues. He said he it gets tricky
because there are public records that people want to maintain. Title companies. need access to
those records in order to update the property abstracts. They authorized Washington County to
make a decision to give citizens of Washington County the option of opting off of those lists.
The individual lots should be able to be identified for property tax information. Thirty-four
percent of people in Washington County stated that they wanted their name off of those lists.
There is a pretty good chance that this will be expanded statewide.
Representative Johnson stated that people have the choice of opting out of having their names
sold, but they do not do it.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that they have to fill out that section every year. It is in fine print on the
back of the license registration, and most people do not see it.
Senator Betzold stated that they encourage Council and residents of Fridley to contact their
legislators. Legislators like to hear from people.
Councilmember Barnette stated Representative Johnson indicated that she would be retiring. He
would like to say thank you from all of the teachers, administrators and parents for all of her
support throughout the years. She has been an outstanding spokesperson for education. The
school district administrators of Fridley and Columbia Heights have always been able to call her,
get a straight answer, and they usually got the results they wanted. Retirement is Representative
Johnson's gain and their loss.
Representative Johnson thanked Councilmember Barnette.
THE MINUTES OF THE JANUARY 3 2000 MEETING PAGE 5
Senator Betzold stated that he would come to another City Council meeting after the session is
over.
Representative Johnson stated that she planned to work in education again. She introduced a bill
for increased funding. It seemed to her that with the surplus being projected there should be
money to help alleviate very serious problems.

360 square foot logo. Since the Zoning Code prohibits the painting of signs directly on
buildings, a variance is needed. The Appeals Commission gave their unanimous
approval to the variance at their December 8 meeting. Staff recommended Council's
concurrence with the variance subj ect to the following stipulations: 1) Approval of the
variance precludes the petitioner from installing an internally lit, freestanding pylon sign

NEW BUSINESS:
16. VARIANCE REQUEST, VAR #99-33 BY BRIAN BONA, TO REDUCE THE
REQUIRED SETBACK OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY FROM_ 50 FEET TO 25
FEET GENERALLY LOCATED AT 5333 UNIVERSITY AVENUE N.E.
�WARD 2):
Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, stated that this was a request for a variance at 5333
University Avenue by Brian Bona. Mr. Bona was seeking a variance to reduce the setback from
neighboring residential properties from the code required 50 feet to 25 feet in order to construct
an automobile service station. The site is located south of I-694 along the east side of University
Avenue just before the on ramp to I-694.
Mr. Hickok stated that the summary of hardship by Mr. Bona states "the extra five feet along 84
feet on the east side of the building is needed to accommodate equipment and parts space. By
expanding to the east, parking and drive aisles will not be impacted as they would be if the
expansion went to the north or west."
Mr. Hickok stated that at their December 22, the Appeals Commission meeting recommended
approval of the request with stipulations. Staff has no recommendation on the request due to the
' fact that it is within previously granted dimensions. In 1994, a variance for 5311 University
Avenue, the neighboring property was allowed to reduce the setback from residential from 50
feet to 19 feet. In 1987 there was a reduction from 50 feet to 11 feet at 6501 East River Road.
• Staff recommended that if the variance is granted, that the Appeals Commission at their
December 22 meeting, the same stipulations that were attached to VAR #99-19 previously
THE MINUTES OF THE JANUARY 3. 2000 MEETING PAGE 10
granted be included with this request, with the exception of the first stipulation reading as r
follows: 1) The permit shall repeal and replace Variance #99-19.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to approve the Variance Request, VAR #99-33, by Brian
Bona with the following stipulations: 1) This permit shall repeal and replace Variance VAR

grading and drainage plans to be approved by City staff prior to the issuance of building permits;
4) A landscaping plan meeting all code requirements, plus an additional six large (4 inch caliper)
trees to compensate for trees removed from the ROW by the petitioner, shall be approved by City
staff prior to the issuance of a building permit. Bonding requirement, to ensure the installation of
landscaping, shall be met as required by City Code; 5) No outdoor storage or displays to be

Mayor Jorgenson stated that it was her understanding that the petitioner requested to have this
item tabled to allow time to further explore possibilities.

Beach Club). Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE -
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, if the sixty-day rule requires them to '
take some kind of action within the sixty days or grant an extension of up to another sixty days
THE MINUTES OF THE JANUARY 3 2000 MEETING PAGE 11
.
with some type of action by the Council. He asked if Council should table it for thirty days to
work out exactly what they want to do in terms of setting a time frame.
Mr. Knaak stated that as a practical matter, if there is a waiving of the time limit on the part of an
applicant, he believed the law is clear that the applicant would be stopped from asserting the non-
existence of the waiver. There was no clearly enunciated judicial interpretation on that point.
The better course of action would be to take an affirmative step which would require an
extension of time based on the request of the applicant and that extension of time be given as
required by the statute in writing to the applicant. If there was an intention to grant a
continuation of time the best way to do that under the usual operation of the statute would be for
the City to grant that and state its reason for doing so in writing.
Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Hickok when the sixty days runs out.
Mr. Hickok stated it would run out at the end of the month.
Councilmember Billings stated that if a motion was made to table this until the first meeting in
March, they would be well within the sixty days and send a letter to the applicant advising him of
the sixty-day extension and letting him know he needs to make some kind of action. The action
would be to either request another extension within that sixty days or to bring something
forward.
Mr. Knaak stated that was his understanding also.
Councilmember Wolfe asked Councilmember Billings if he wanted to table it until March 6.
Councilmember Billings stated that he agreed. It would keep them within the confines of the
State Statute and place themselves in the situation that the petitioner was not granted their
variances because of inaction on their part, even though they are responding to their direct action.
MOTION by Councilmember Wolfe to table this item until March 6 and send a letter to Maui,
Inc. (Spikers Grille & Beach Club) stating that VAR #99-31 is tabled until March 6 per their
request. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the petitioner could come back before March 6 and ask for
reconsideration.
Mr. Hickok stated that was correct. At that point, they may suggest they withdraw their request
to give themselves the time they need and start fresh.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that there are still some issues. Maybe the petitioner could
agree with them to work on the things that are still outstanding including removing the railroad
ties from the parking lot.
. Mayor Jorgenson asked Mr. Hickok what this has to do with the temporary permit that staff gave
them for the volleyball courts.
THE MINUTES OF THE JANUARY 3, 2000 MEETING ___ PAGE 12
Mr. Hickok stated that was a trial basis to see how it worked last year. The owners and staff
agreed that it was not a successful venture.
STATE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE CONTINUATION:
Mayor Jorgenson stated that Representative Satveer Chaudhary was present to address the
legislative update.
Representative Chaudhary stated that he apologized for his tardiness. He wished the City
Council a Happy New Year and the best of luck in the coming term. He said a short session was
coming up and that it would be fun filled as usual with the tricameral government, a huge
$1,600,000,000 budget surplus that they do not normally have in non-budget years as well as a
bonding bill. Discussion will be whether or not to give the surplus back, use it for farmers, or
buy medicine. He also hoped to hear from the Council on important issues.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that one item of concern was the appointment to the Six Cities
Watershed Management Organization. She contacted several other members of Minnesota cities
about not appointing a staff inember to the organization to allow more citizen input within the
community. The City of Fridley advertised for an open position for the Six Cities Watershed
Management Organization, and three people expressed an interest. Unfortunately, they do not
reside within the watershed district, and the City has been unsuccessful in finding another citizen
interested. Mr. Flora, Director of Public Works, presented a letter stating some of the Rice Creek
Watershed District budget items that would have tax implications for the City of Fridley. These
items are clearly defined by law to be that of the developer such as feedlot issues. This will need
to be looked at because some of the people that get appointed do not have the legal expertise to
make sure the people are getting taxed correctly.
Representative Chaudhary stated that it was Representative Osmenz that was the one who offered
the bill to prohibit city staff from being appointed to a watershed district. There are people who
want to take away that prohibition.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she understood that this treads on the constitutionality issue of a
staff inember residing in the district, but because they are staff, they are prohibited from the
position. She said she felt it needed to be looked at. She said it was very difficult for a City of
Fridley's size to find a qualified candidate to step into that position and have the willingness and
dedication to do so.
Representative Chaudhary thanked Mayor Jorgenson for the information. He encouraged
everyone to keep him abreast of all of the issues that may or may not affect the City directly. His
office number is 651-296-4331. He said he would appreciate input from Council or the viewers
at home.
17. CITY OF FRIDLEY 2000 CITY COUNCIL AND STAFF APPOINTMENTS:
MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to approve the appointment of the City Council and staff
for the City of Fridley for the year 2000 to the following: Mayor Pro Tem, Anoka County Law
Enforcement Council, Association of Metropolitan Municipalities, League of Minnesota cities,

MOTION CARRIED UNAMMOUSLY.
18. RESOLUTION APPOINTING CITY OF FRIDLEY REPRESENTATIVES TO
THE SIX CITIES WATERSHED MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION:
Councilmember Billings stated that this resolution was on the agenda because Mayor Jorgenson
asked for it to be on the agenda and has directed staff to advertise a vacancy. Councilmember
Billings said he is unsure of what Council should do.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that it is her understanding from the legislation that was passed that they
would no longer be able to appoint Mr. Flora to this particular position after January 1 of 2000.
Under that legislation, the City must comply. Three persons expressed interest in being
appointed to the Six Cities Watershed Management Organization, Councilmember Billings being
one. He was the only one who applied that resides in the district. Representative Johnson
concern was that there was not enough citizen involvement in activities that are ongoing with the
City. She felt that it would be better served to have actual citizen advisors sitting as
commissioners for this particular appointment. That is why he undertook this piece of legislation
which passed the House and the Senate.
Councilmember Billings stated that in reading the Joint Powers Agreement it says " The
members of the organization shall not have a fixed term." He asked if this was a standing
appointment.
Mr. Flora stated that it is a standing appointment.
Councilmember Billings stated that he does not read anything in the legislation that states that
the current representatives need to be removed. It states that they cannot be appointed. Since
Mr. Flora has been the appointed representative for several years, and they do not appoint
representatives annually, Councilmember Billings did not see that there was a vacancy.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she disagreed because she believed each year an appointment has
been made in the first week of January with a resolution appointing the City of Fridley
representatives to the Watershed Organization.
Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated that if this were to be disputed at some point, it may cause a
problem for the City, but there are two perfectly legitimate ways to interpret this. Mr. Knaak
said Councilmember Billings made a technical point with respect to the language. If there was a
compelling reason why this could be construed as an annual appointment, the City could raise
that argument, if necessary. He said it was not clear to him which interpretation is the correct
one.
� Mayor Jorgenson asked what happens if there is not an appointment by the City of Fridley.
Mr. Knaak stated that then they would have a vacancy. This would not prevent the Joint Powers
Agreement from continuing to be in force.
THE MINUTES OF THE JANUARY 3 2000 MEETING PAGE 14
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if someone would have to resign to open the position. She also
asked what the other five cities in the management organization were doing for this position.
Mr. Flora stated that the other cities have taken the position much like Councilmember Billings
has indicated. Since the appointments are made at the direction of Council, there are no
vacancies, and there is no Council action being taken by those cities.
Mayor Jorgenson asked why they would need to reaffirm the appointment each year.
Mr. Flora stated that he thought she might be confusing this appointment with the Suburban Rate
Authority.
Councilmember Billings stated that he would ask that this item be tabled until the next meeting
so staff can research it.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to table the resolution appointing City of Fridley
representatives to the Six Cities Watershed Management Organization. Seconded by Council-
member Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
19. INFORMAL STATUS REPORTS:
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she wanted to thank all of the City employees who worked
on the Y2K issue. Mr. Bill Champa, Management Assistant, especially worked really hard to
keep abreast of any problems.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that Mr. Dave Sallman, Director of Public Safety, also worked
really hard with year 2000 preparation.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that the Police Department will be ticketing anyone that parks
on City streets from now until May 1, even if there is no snow during the period. This has been
well published in the Focus News, the quarterly City newsletters and cable television. If anyone
has any questions they can call the Municipal Center.
Mr. Burns stated that parking on the street is not allowed between 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.

without gaskets to help with groundwater programs, but consequently also caused settlements and sink holes.
This year's project consists of
1. 1,519 lineal feet of 10-inch CMP sanitary sewer pipe
2. 6201ineal feet of 48-inch RCP storm sewer pipe
3. 1,0441ineal feet of 12-inch VCP sanitary sewer pipe — Altemate No. 1
The 2Q00 budget has $240,000 budgeted for the storm and sanitary sewer repair project.

disburse funds set aside by City of Fridley employees. The bank account that these funds are
deposited into is a City account that requires the City Council to approve the signatories for the check
signing. Recently Flex Compensation Incorporated (FCI) had some staffing changes, thus requiring
new signers for the distribution of funds from the City account. Attached is the resolution that
provides authorization for ponna Wetterlin (Benefits Specialist) and Shannon Nealy (Accountant) to
sign flexible benefit checks on behalf of the City of Fridley.

Local Law Enforcement Block Grant
The City of Fridley has been selected to receive funds in the amount of $22,705 in connection with the
Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Program. This grant has a$2,523 match requirement, and in order
to receive the funds, the following conditions need to be met:
1. On Thursday, January 13, an advisory boazd consisting of the recommended agencies met
to discuss use of the funds. The group supported the recommendation made by the Police
Department to apply the funds towards improving officers' computer technology within
the police vehicles.
2. The public hearing notice has been submitted for inclusion in the January 19 issue of the
Focus with the public hearing date scheduled for the January 24 meeting. We do not
anticipate a large response to this non-controversial issue.
Given the limited amount of funds available through this block grant, and the other grant funding sources
already in place, it was felt, once again, that purchasing equipment was the best use of these funds. Staff
recommendation is to use these funds to offset a significant portion of the cost of the Vision Mobile Data
software. The software will allow record access for officers from their squads and improving service to
the community.

SFROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
Grant Fernelius, Housing Coordinator
SUBJECT: Public Hearing for 2000 CDBG Program
Every year the City conducts a public hearing prior to submitting it's application to Anoka County for
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The purpose of the hearing is to describe how
the funds will be used to meet important community development needs.
The funds, which are provided by HLJD, must be used to meet one of the following national
objectives: 1) benefit low and moderate income people, or 2) prevent slum and blight, or 3) meet
other urgent community needs. Historically, the City of Fridley has used the money to fund single
family housing rehabilitation and public services.
In 2000, the City is projected to receive $138,686, which is about 5% less than the amount received
in 1999 ($144,005). The reduction is due to cuts in the CDBG budget at the federal level. Staff is
proposing that the funds be used for the same activities as last year with a slight reduction in the level
of public service funding. Below is a breakdown of the funding proposal:

CDBG Public Hearing Memo
January 20, 2000
� Page 2
There are several comments worth making about the proposed 2000 budget versus the 1999 budget.
First, the housing rehab budget in 1999 was initially $112,500. This amount was increased because
the County would not allow the use of CDBG funds for code enforcement which was budgeted at
$10,000. Second, the 15% cap on public service funding was used again in 2000; however, the
amount for each agency was reduced proportionate to the amount received in 1999. Separate action
approving the year 2000 applicatior� will occur under new business.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing on January 24`h regarding the
2000 CDBG program.

addition I have served on a number of other boards, primarily of a
charitable or educational nature.
1 am a business owner- I am president of Vital Services, Inc. an intemet -
solutions company providing intemet access, web site design and management,
