NEW BUSINESS:
18. First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Fridley City Code, Chapter 101,
Animal Control, Pertaining to Wild Animals and Birds.
William Burns, City Manager, stated Fridley City Code, Chapter 101, presently makes it
unlawful to hunt, take, shoot, trap or kill any wild animal or bird except rodents. There has been
a need to manage the deer at the Minneapolis Water Works as well as the Canadian geese at
Moore Lake beach. The amendment to Chapter 101 introduces a plan requirement of a staff-
issued permit process to address nuisance wildlife issues. Applicants will be required to secure a
necessary State and Federal permits, provide an indemnification agreement and submit a wildlife
control plan. A Public Safety Director will have the authority to approve, modify or deny the
plan based on public health, safety and welfare. The amendment also prohibits persons from
disrupting the wildlife control program. It permits Nature Center staff, the Animal Control
Officer and officers of the Fridley Police Department to trap, immobilize or kill a wild animal or
bird for reasons of public safety or for reasons of humane destruction following injury.
Mayor Lund questioned if a squirrel or a bat is considered a rodent.
Mr. Burns confirmed that both are considered rodents.
Councilmember Bolkcom questioned the reason behind this ordinance.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 13, 2006 PAGE 7
Mr. Burns answered that the major motivating factor is the request by the City of Minneapolis
to manage the deer population on the Water Works property. The Public Safety Director would
review the application for the animal management programs and enforce and manage the issues
administratively.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked for clarification regarding the application process.
Mr. Burns stated the Director of Public Safety will decide to approve or deny the applications.
The applicant would still have to go through the Minnesota DNR.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to waive the reading and approve the ordinance on first
reading. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
NEW BUSINESS:
19. First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 131, Fire Department
Service Charges as it Pertains to Invoicing Motor Vehicle Owners.
John Berg, Fire Chief, said in the event the Fire Department responds to an accident and
provides a service, they are currently allowed to bill the motor vehicle insurance company for the
fees. If the vehicle owner does not have insurance, the fees can be collected through restitution.
Staff recommends the addition of the ability to invoice the owner of the vehicle for these fees.
He said the problems they currently face are that oftentimes the fees are lower than the insurance
company's deductible. Sometimes the vehicle owner chooses not to place a claim, so they are
not invoicing the insurance company. In some cases, the insurance companies are refusing to
pay the fees or are adjusting the fees to what they see reasonable. In addition, they are not
always charging people, as it takes time to get proof of insurance and many times it is missed. It
is also difficult coordinating with the City attorney's office. With this amendment, they hope to
reduce staff time and reduce time on the scene, especially on the interstate. The time they spend
collecting information on the interstate could potentially cause additional accidents. Staff
recommends Council's approval of the first reading of this ordinance.
Councilmember Barnette said people have said that residents already pay taxes for these
services. He asked if many of the accidents that happen in Fridley involve persons who are not
Fridley residents.
Chief Berg replied that in 2005, 76% of the invoices went to individuals who were not residents
of the City of Fridley.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that Fridley taxpayers are already paying for these services. He
asked if there was a way to exclude Fridley residents from paying this fee.
Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, said it is a general rule to treat all persons the same way whether
they are a residents or non-residents, but there are some limited exceptions. He was not sure if
this service would qualify as an exception.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 13, 2006 PAGE 8
Councilmember Bolkcom asked for clarification of the changes in the ordinance.
Chief Berg said what was added is the owner or owner's insurance company. If a motor vehicle
accident involves two cars, we will send the invoice to both insurance companies. If we have
trouble collecting from an insurance company or do not have the information, it gives us the
opportunity to send the invoice to the owner giving them the option to submit this claim to their
insurance company.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked when the $400 is charged, how the money is collected if the
insurance company does not cover the charges and what happens if the invoice is not paid.
Chief Berg clarified that if no medical care is needed, there will be no charge. If the invoice is
not paid, the courts would proceed to collect the funds.
Councilmember Bolkcom questioned what type of insurance would cover this fee—collision or
liability.
Chief Berg stated he would research the insurance issue and provide the information at the ne�t
reading of this item. For the most part, insurance companies are paying the fees.
Councilmember Billings questioned the dollar amount invoiced last year.
Chief Berg answered the amount billed last year was $30,540. They have collected $20,913 to
date.
Councilmember Billings asked if it matters whether the insurance company or the owner pays
the fee. Insurance is something purchased as a protection so owners do not have to pay all of the
expenses out of their own pocket. If people choose not to buy insurance, why should the City of
Fridley residents be responsible for these bills? We should just bill the owner and as a courtesy
bill the insurance company for the services we are providing. If people do not want medical
treatment, that is fine; but if they want medical treatment, we have the right to charge them for
the services we are providing. Everyone should be billed for the services whether they have
insurance or not. It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner or their insurance company to cover
the charges.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, questioned if we are the only city going forward with this change.
Chief Berg answered that other cities are making the same change.
Councilmember Wolfe asked if we should tell people that there will be a$400 fee to treat them
before they are treated.
Chief Berg answered that in most cases, people who are treated need transportation by
ambulance to the hospitaL Most cases involve a combination of services such as vehicle safety,
picking up fluids from the roadway, disconnecting batteries, etc. Rarely does the Fire
Department just provide one service.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 13, 2006 PAGE 9
Councilmember Bolkcom asked why two or more vehicles would be charged an equal share of
the $400. Why not charge each vehicle $400.
Chief Berg said the cost is based on an estimate of cost over a period of time. Based on the
response of sending a vehicle to the scene for the first hour, the cost is about the same whether
the Fire Department is servicing one vehicle or five vehicles.
Mayor Lund asked how many people are sent out on a call.
Chief Berg replied 8 people are sent out on an interstate call, 4 people for a highway roadway
call and 2 people for a typical motor vehicle accident.
Councilmember Bolkcom said if we charge one car $400 and 2 cars the same amount, why not
treat all of them with the same cost.
Chief Berg responded that with the number of calls the Fire Department gets, they opted for a
flat fee.
Mr. Knaak replied that the reimbursement of the expenses is not based on a case by case
analysis. If you start multiplying fees by automobiles, it would be difficult to justify on a cost
basis.
Mayor Lund commented that this is a complicated situation. The most expensive cost is
probably getting the firefighters to the scene and back If the minimum charge is $400, maybe if
more vehicles are involved, we could charge an extra $100 per vehicle. Maybe we should look
at this as a possibility. We are not trying to make money. We are just trying to find a fair way to
charge those involved in the accident and cover the expenses that occur.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to waive the reading and adopt the ordinance on first
reading. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, MAYOR LUND, COUNCILMEMBER BARNETTE,
COUNCILMEMBER BILLINGS AND COUNCILMEMBER BOLKCOM VOTING AYE,
AND COUNCILMEMBER WOLFE VOTING NAY, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED ON A 4 TO 1 VOTE.
STATE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE:
Senator pon Betzold, State Senator, presented a preview of the happenings in the State
legislature. This year is not a budget year; the budget is on odd-numbered years. Some policy
issues will carry over from last year and there may be some minor budget issues. Currently,
there is about a$700 million budget surplus but there is a$30 billion State budget through
June 30, 2007. Part of this surplus is already spent due to delayed payments to some school
districts, plus there are other issues regarding the Ramsey County court decision stating that the
tobacco health impact fee was a tax. If this is upheld in the court system, we could end up with a
minor deficit, but nothing significant. There will be another forecast later this month but there
will probably not be any surplus. He said there is a long list of requests, and he did not know
what would happen with the bonding bill regarding the Springbrook Nature Center.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 13, 2006 PAGE 10
Senator Betzold said the session will more than likely seek more funding for the North Star
Corridor. Last year was the initial down payment and this year will be the ne�t phase. The
Federal Government has moved the North Star Corridor ahead on the list of projects which is
good for mass transit in the north suburban area. He said eminent domain is an issue that
everyone is interested in. The law did not really change but the parameters did. Other issues of
interest are recycling, electronic waste, funding of the Clean Water Legacy Act, and the stadium
issues regarding the Vikings, Twins and Gophers. If there is any additional money, it will be
dedicated to lowering property taxes or replacing the LGA funds. The session starts March 1
and must be finished by May 22.
Representative Barb Goodwin, State Representative, said there are a lot of issues being
discussed for a very short session. The leadership in the House is talking about concentrating on
three or four top issues, but there are many bills being introduced plus several that were not
heard last year. The North Star corridor needs a second phase of funding and the Springbrook
Nature Center is a good project for a bonding bill. Healthcare is another issue and they continue
to try and find ways to reduce the cost. She said she is on the commerce committee which is
hearing insurance issues and business and labor management issues. The eminent domain issue
is more complicated with areas of blight in the older parts of the county. She encouraged
Council to contact her if there were any issues they would like to see discussed or brought
forward.
Commissioner Bolkcom asked about the Vikings stadium proposal.
Representative Goodwin supports the idea of people voting on this issue. There are probably
less than 1 in 10 people who support the stadium proposal as it currently stands. This stadium is
not for public use, it is for private use and the citizens of Anoka County should not be the only
people responsible for paying for this stadium.
Senator Betzold stated that the Governor's stance on the stadium is that he would prefer a
referendum but would sign a bill even if it does not have one. He said it was not up to him to
decide the issue. It is the decision of the legislature collectively. He believes it is a state-wide
issue. There will be no referendum on a Gopher stadium bill so the issue is basically to decide if
a referendum is necessary for the Twins and Viking stadiums. If a referendum is required on
one, there will need to be a referendum on the other item. The Senate cannot pass a bill to raise
taxes as the House must past the bill first. If the bill comes from the House with a referendum,
the Senate will follow through with a referendum. The same scenario will apply without a
referendum. He said the Gopher and Twins stadiums are more likely to pass before the
Vikings. The House and Senate will decide on which way the bill will go. There is a
commitment to pass the best possible bill.
Councilmember Wolfe supports the potential referendum.
Senator Betzold said he did not specify that there would be a referendum as there are many
issues to resolve first before a referendum can be added. He stated he will vote for the bill either
way.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 13, 2006 PAGE 11
Councilmember Barnette asked if there had been any discussions within the House and Senate
of a statewide 6.6% tax increase to support a Twins, Vikings or Gopher stadium. This would be
an idea as the entire state will benefit from this stadium.
Senator Betzold answered the proposal currently being discussed is a result of the Governor's
task force. The Governor proposed that the local residents will pay 1/3, the team would pay 1/3
and the state would pay 1/3. No one has spoken of anything different, because this is what the
Governor wants.
Representative Goodwin stated that there has been some discussion, not public, but everyone
knows that a tax increase would not pass, especially during an election year. Recently Anoka
County put a lock on the issue and offered this proposal pertaining to Anoka County so the
Vikings end up in Anoka County. With the lock on the proposal, no other cities came forward
with a better proposal. Anoka County is not pushing for a state-wide sales tax.
Councilmember Barnette questioned how the Xcel Center and Guthrie Theater got passed and
if public funds were used.
Representative Betzold gave a few examples and said the Xcel Center received an interest-free
loan. The Target Center was privately funded and later bought by the state for less than half of
the original investment. There was a sales tax increase for the Metrodome.
Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, asked Representative Betzold for his opinion
on eminent domain.
Representative Betzold replied that most of the law professors reviewed the eminent domain
issue and stated that nothing has really changed in the last 50 years of law, what has changed was
that people are afraid. Eminent domain has not been a problem in Minnesota. The last resort is
people who own land will make money and can use eminent domain to sell their property. The
problem is that multi proposals and items are being Oadded and changed. The more problematic
and complicated eminent domain gets, the harder it will be to pass. This issue needs to be
addressed but they do not have the time they would like to spend on this item.
Representative Goodwin stated that she is coming to the end of her term and is not planning to
run again.
Representative Betzold encouraged residents to stay in touch with the legislators on issues and
concerns.
