Submitted By:Melissa Moore, City Clerk/Communications Manager
Title
Recodification Update
Background
Pursuant to Minnesota Statute § 415.02 and Fridley City Charter (Charter) § 1.02, the Fridley City Council
(Council) may codify and publish ordinances that carry the force and effect of law for the City of Fridley
(City), which may be arranged into a system generally referred to as the Fridley City Code (Code).
On August 23, 2021 the Council authorized and directed efforts related to recodification of the Codeby
adopting Resolution No. 2021-67.Following the process established by the City Manager for revising
each chapter of the Code, staff are preparedto offer an update to the work being done on Title 3(Health,
Safety, and Welfare) of the Code.
Public Meetings
As in 2022 the Council established pre-planned Conference Meeting dates at which it would receive an
update on recodification from staff. The following dates are proposed for 2023:
January 23
March 27
May 22
July 24
September 25
November 27.
Process Review
When approved by the Council, recodification was expected to take approximately three years to
complete. Just over one year into the project, the City has completed the first two titles (General
Provisions and Administration). With the benefit of time and
areasfor improvement. Process improvements will be collaborated on and implemented. Continuous
training of staff will also be addressed in such areas as writing style, document formatting, research best
practices, etc.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.

Title 3 Update
Office began coordinating with staff from the Community Development, Public
Safety, Public Works,
reviewing State and federal laws, analyzing comparative city codes, consulting advisory opinions and
legal reviews pertaining to all chapters in Title 3.
Chapters to be reviewed in Title 3 are:
!Drugs and Paraphernalia !Civil Defense !Liquor Consumption and
Display
!Barbiturate Drugs !False Alarms !Animal Control
!Glues and Related Substances !Public Safety Department !Boats and Watercraft
!Codeine Drugs !Curfew !Snowmobiles
!Disposition of Certain Property !Fire Prevention !Public Sanitation Facilities
!Sexually Oriented Businesses !Dangerous Weapons !Air Quality and Solid Waste
!Trespass on Private Property !Fire Department Service !Solid Waste Disposal and
Charges Recycling Collection
At this time staff are prepared to present the Council with a draft of a new chapter to the Code titled
Drugs, Paraphernalia, and Prohibited Substances (Exhibit A). Minnesota Statute Chapter 152 addresses
controlled substances in a very thorough h manner and is the chapter of State law most typically cited
by Police Officers when issuing violations.
§ XX.01 is a purpose statement followed by § XX.02,
which adopts definitions found in State law. Section XX.03 outlines what acts are prohibited by the Code:
!§ XX.03 (1) is a comprehensive way to prohibit the same controlled substances or behavior
already addressed by State law;
!§ XX.03 (2) prohibits drug paraphernalia and injection devices;
!§ XX.03 (3) updatdrugs in their
original containers;
!§ XX.03 (4) addresses glues and inhalants used as a controlled substance;
!§ XX.03 (5) prohibits the possession of substances listed in § XX.03 (4); and
!§ XX.03 (6) restricts retail establishments from selling any products listed in § XX.03 (4) from a
self-service display.
Section XX.04, Penalties, is standard language found in other chapters of the Code.
This new proposed chapter would replace the four chapters of the Code dealing with controlled
substances:
!Chapter No. 117, Drugs and Paraphernalia (Exhibit B);
!Chapter No. 118, Barbiturate Drugs (Exhibit C);
!Chapter No. 119, Glues and Related Substances (Exhibit D); and
!Chapter No. 120, Codeine Drugs (Exhibit E).
Staff recommend repeal of these four chapters.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.

Chapter 102 of the Code (Public Safety Department) is proposed to be removed (Exhibit F). The Chapter
creates the Public Safety Department for the City, describes its roles, responsibilities, organizational
structure, and creates the role of Director of Public Safety.
include:
!No other department in the City is created by ordinance for placement in the Code;
!There is no requirement in State law or the Fridley City Charter that creating such a department
must be done by ordinance;
!M.S. § 12.25 requires each city to establish an organization for emergency management, but does
not direct how a city must go about doing so; and
!Creating such administrative departments, or structure of the City via ordinance, is not the most
efficient or cost-effective method.
Exhibit G is a sample resolution created by t
that essentially does the same function as Chapter 102. Repealing this chapter and adopting a similar
resolution would have no bearing on the role, status, structure, authority, or budget of the Public Safety
Department.
