CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS - CITY HALL &-COURT HOUSE SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA. �✓ The meeting was called to order by Mr. President McCarty at 10:25 A.M. Present - Comsrs. Butler, Carlson, Levine, Meredith, Sprafka, Tedesc4,Mr.Pres.McCarty.,7 (Mr, President IeCarty left the meeting at a certain point.) Absent - 0 Reading of the minutes was dispensed with. Mr. President McCarty read and submitted to former Mayor George J. vavoulis a Certificate of Appreciation for. the .various civic activities in. which Mr. Vavoulis participated during past years. _ \� Hearing was again held on the Amendatory Application of Housing and Redevelopment Program affecting Summit -University Renewal Area; Minn. A-1. A -s the question of the Mayor, no one appeared'in opposition. -Rev. Denzel Carty referred to-the-considerablework done on this proposal by the Model Cities group, including bus tours, detailed explanations, , etc, and said whatever is done will be in keeping with the community. Vince Coughlin, representing the Housing and Redevelopment Authority, said there is agreement that there will be no public housing on any of the 12 sites,' that there will be no high-rise'or high density housing, that the design will be 'worked out with MUPC in cooperation with others, and that the maximum density on any site will be 30 units per acre. He said they are working on another proposal not in these sites considered today to sell town houses and single-family dwellings. He said there have, been many neighborhood meetings which resulted in 13 owners'stating they would be willing sellers, 3 undecided, and 8 not willing. He said he thinks they could work around those people who wish to stay, where they area He said 4 of 8 of the objectors are in the area bounded by -_ Marshall, Chatsworth and Iglehart. Mr. President•McCarty asked if Mr. Coughlin is in agreement that all standard housing would be left and Mr. Coughlin said he is not in full agreement. Mr. President.McCarty referred to the large percentage of standard housing and said he cannot justify the removal of standard housing while there is vacant land in the,Summit-University area and we ought ` to fill the vacant land first.` He said he is in full agreement with the NO HIGH DENSITY housing proposal but also he is opposed to the taking of additional standard.housig. He said HUD is.concerned about the relocation plan and that it be developed before the approval of NDP 3.. He said there is no urgency 'of the Council to act and we can 'accomplish these objectives by utilizing present available sites. Mr. Coughlin referred to problems and getting the proposal for single- family homes off the ground and said for the first time, they have developers building single-family units and town houses in the area. He°said they were told that sites must be assembled or the ,entire program will be jeopardized: Mr. President McCarty disagreed and said the only concern of HUD is the relocation feature. Comsr. Tedesco said he would rather see new structures than to rehabil- itate old houses, and Comsr. Butler ,agreed that the cost of rehabilitation is -high and we eventually lose money.on it. She suggested that we take each site separately and either approve or disapprove the plan. Mr. Coughlin explained Site 2 and said there are 2 families who would like to remain. He -said the Housing Authority owns 12 of the- 32 parcels. He said 60% of the parcels could be -obtained and when Comsr. Butler ques- tioned the cost, it was pointed out that the Housing Authority spends about $28,000 to rehabilitate a home and sells It for less, f Mr. President McCarty asked how many of the 16 structures do not need any rehabilitation,,and at this time, there was considerable discussion concerning the inspection procedure, according to the Federal point system, Comsr. Butler said the point system is based on the Housing Code and the cost of rehabilitation is unbelievable and eventually we lose money on them. Rev. Mr. King appeared -and said the housing need in the area is acute and the Council -is being sidetracked on these 12 site 1. when they should be considering the entire program and this proposal represents less than 10% of the total area in the Summit -University area. He'stressed the = need for housing, the need for subsidizing and said that he has been ' riding the "back of the Housing Authority but now realizes that"he,was (Continued on next sheet) January 8th .1971. Hearing on Amendatory Application re Summit -University Renewal Area, Minn. A-1 (contd not giving them a chance to do the job and he asks that the Mayor and Council do the same, Mr. President McCarty referred to the great°amount of vacant land and Rev. Mr. King said they are scattered sites. He'referred to the program relocating people outside the City and said we can't afford to lose . people off the tax rolls. Mr. President McCarty asked why the uncommitted vacant sites cannot be C developed first and Rev. Mr. King'said the construction on the 12 sites will not begin for many-months'but'in the meantime, the Housing Authority is moving to build single-family homes'on sites now available. Rev. Mr.'Carty said there are pre'sently,80 vacant lots with 52 now pro- posed for construction and 27 will be on the market soon. He said there are builders committed to building in the area. Comsr. Tedesco moved approval of the Amendatory application as proposed by the Housing Authority subject to the deletion of the sites in -the area bounded by Marshall, Chatsworth and Iglehart.

Letter of the Z6ning Board was read recommending denial of the appeal. Mr. President McCarty stressed that Commercial enterprises on the north and south sides .of University need parking and the only way to provide parking lots is to rezone property which creates concern of the residents. He suggested that an amendment to the Zoning Code be ,prepared alloying a parking classification in connection with Commercial operations which would not allow buildings or zoning changes._ Comsr. Tedesco said we can't have a blanket ordinance and he thinks'. each. individual application should be heard. Sidney Abramson showed a plan of;the proposal and referred to a brick and stone wall, light standards chain link fence and to other conditions and said they are willing to landscape to. meet any specifications. He referred to a petition with 17 of 30 people within 100 ft. in favor of the proposal. Comsr..Sprafka left the meeting at this time. Captain Anderson of the-Traffic and Accident Division of the Police Dept. referred•to their previous traffic studies.of the area'and said there is a definite problem with regard t® traffic 'due to parking on Pascal and he recommends NO PARKING on one side, especially in the winter. He said they have tried to help the residents on Sherburne in order that they can have access to their property and he sees no traffic problems as a result of the parking lots David Chase, representing the Midway Civic Club, spoke in support of Mr. Rieck's appeal because of the parking problem in the area, (Conti`nued on other side) January 14th, 1971. Discussion on Rieck Appeal (continued) Cal Douglas, representing Slawik Properties, said parking lots are required for any Coumercial business and should be required by the .Council in the same way they require parking for apartment projects. Tom Kresbach, representing Midway Chevrolet, said it has become nearly impossible to operate a business in the Midway area because of lack "of parking. Mr. Warling•of the Blue Horse Restaurant spoke in support of Mr. Rieck's appeal and related his own parking problems. Mr. Rieck appeared and expressed willingness to meet any requirements - or specifications and said he does not want.to lowerthestandards of the neighborhood. Comsr. Levine asked if the City Forester could recommend certain conditions to make the area look more park -like. Mr. Rieck said he discussed the proposal with the neighbors and they agreed that a -wall would be preferred to bushes. Mr. Abramson said they would be willing to work with the Forester con- cern:ng trees on Sherburne. Merrill Robinson appeared and referred to the present use of the property for parking and said if the appeal is approved, Sherburne Ave. will no longer be a residential street. He predicted that in 10 yrs., Sherburne will become a Commercial area and he referred to the Hamline Community Association vote in opposition to the proposal. He circulated but did not file a petition -in opposition and he referred to Council commitments to modernize the Zoning Ordinance -to protect home owners. Mr. President McCarty said the business community and the residents have = v rights and it is the Council's responsib2i.ty to provide compatibility. Mr. Robinson said he cannot see sacrificing a 'solid residential area for a parking lot. Mr. Abramson said the area is not being used as a parking lot now. A man at 1435 Sherburne said there is always spare parking in front of his house and he suggested that the businesses rent space from Ward's or Midway Center. He said their pictures show the opposite From the proponents and there is no parking problem. Comsr. Meredith said they are flooded with calls concerning parking on Sherburne Ave. Mrs. Frederick, 1427 Sherburne, said they moved into a quiet neighborhood but since Mr. Rieck has torn down homes, it has begun to look like a Commercial area. She said there are 32 children in the block,and they are concerned over their safety and if this is approved, other property will be sold for parking lots. Warren Johnson, 1466 Suerburne, complained about some of the present operations and mainly to Midway Chevrolet who do not shovel !snow on Pascal.' A lady on Sherburne said they don't want any more traffic on Sherburne Ave. A man at 1444 Sherburne asked about the number of employes in the buil- ding and Mr. Abramson said there are 32 employes of the building and the others come through at -various times. Mr. President McCarty said he, will bring in an ordinance to allow parking in a "C" Residence -District. He said if this appeal is granted, there.is a clear responsibility of government to requirespecific design standards.. Comsr. Tedesco moved denial of the appeal. Comsr. Levine asked about an alternative and whether the residents want an apartment building. Comsr. Meredith also asked what•the neighborhood is in favor of and ;< Mr. Robinson said`he polled the residents and they would favor an apartment house. After further discussion, Comsr. Butler recommended a study group for'this axea and she referred to other NDP groups which do not cover thisarea. At the question of Comsr. Levine, Mr. Rieck said if the appeal is not granted, he would have no choice but to leave the land vacant. Mr. President McCarty said the Council can withdraw their permission r at any time in the future. Comsr. Tedesco asked for a vote on his motion and the Mayor said a c -- motion is not before the Council until it is stated by the Chair. Comsr. Meredith moved approval of the appeal. Mr. President McCarty said a study group for the area will be appointed immediately. Comsr. Butler said she wants the Council to approve design plans for the parking lot which the applicant must agree to. It was pointed out by the Mayor that today's matter is a zoning appeal and the appellant would have to file an application for a parking lot at which time design standards are considered.

A� a January '19th, 1971. r " Adolf Tobler of the Thomas -Dale NDP area appeared.and asked if the election to be in their area on a NDP progra!'has been ordered; Mr. President -McCarty said it will be ordered by resolution at tomormWs Council meeting, setting a date of electi6n for Feb. 9th. Mr. Tobler read a statement questioning the=calling of an election on the basis of a fraudulent petition and he said he is copfident of the mandate of the residents to have an NDP program. He said the action of the Council challenges the 'contract between the PAC group and the Housing Authority.. He said he proposes at this time an alternate plan to withdraw the street improvement program except for 2 alley improvements and he urged that the Council actq'favorably on the remainder of 'the program. Mrs. Coffman.appeared on behalf of the Joint Committee for NDP and read a statement in which they felt that the petition against the Thomas -Dale proposal is invalid. Richard Prokop from the West Seventh St. NDP area spoke in support of the Thomas -Dale area and said the Council should have considered all the evidence. Elizabeth Clark of the West Midway -South St. Anthony area urged support of the Thomas=Dale plan. s . Mr. Tobler said if the Council does not grant their request, he would ask their commitment after a favorable vote by the people not to lose funds for the entire NDP program. Mr. President.McCarty said the Council would not allow the loss of Federal funds and the application is'to be sent to the regional office for preliminary technical approval. He said the matter of an ice arena will be provided and the only action of the NDP group is.to'provide a site. He said because of a divergence of viewpoints, it was felt that we should get a free expression of the people in the area and there is no harm to the NDP program due to an election. Comsr. Meredith said he got the impression that withdrawal of the street improvement program would 'solve the problem: Mr. President McCarty said he does not think that the people will turn down the NDP program. Mr. Zasada said the people havealreadyexpressed their views twice. Mr. President McCarty said that 66 out of 13,000 people, made a.decision and there can be no harm due to a free election. Comsr; Butler said many people were not permitted to=vote in the elections of 1967 or 1968. Mrs. Clark referred to the negative'attitude of the people.towards improve- ments due to the re -assessment of property in St. Paul. Comsr. Tedesco moved that we approve the NDP program for the Thomas -Dale area with the exception of the street, curb and sidewalk improvements. Comsr. Butler.said Mrs. Clark is not from the Thomas -Dale area and we have had no opposition from the other ,NDP areas. She said we have a petition of 500 signatures against the NDP program and after an inves- tigation, she said the people who signed the petition said the line was added prior to their signing the petition. Mr. ,President McCarty said the decision of'the Council was based on - a number of factors and the people should be able to-have'an expression and he pointed out -that the final responsib:l ity lies with the City Council. Comsr. Tedesco requested a roll call on his motion. Comsr. Butler moved that Comsr. Tedesco's motion be referred to the Management Committee. Nm. President McCarty said no motion is before the Council until it is stated by the Chair. Comsr. Carlson seconded Comsr. Tedesco's motion.`a Comsr. Tedesco moved reconsideration of Fridayle action on the Thomas -Dale. area. Mr. President McCarty said the Chair would recognize Comsr. Butler's motion to refer Comsr. Tedesco's motion to the Management Committee. Comsr. Butler said she wants to see an NDP program in the Thomas -Dale area but supported by the people and she asked what is=vrrong with an open free election. Mr. President McCarty said maybe the question on the ballot should be divided into several areas and he suggested that this matter be referred to the Management Committee for a recommendation as to wat should be put on the ballot. Mr. Tobler-commented further on the validity of -the petition. Comsr. Butler said she called at least 50 people concerning the validity of the petition and she explained why and how one statement was added. She also referred to literature of the Thomas -Dale -PAC gm up which said that items of.the plan would be voted upon separately and she said. this was nit done. Mrs. Coffman further commented on the feeling of the people concerning this pian. `Comsr. Tedesco again requested a vote on his motion. Mr. President McCarty ordered the meeting adjourned. Comsr. Carlson said a majority vote of the Council'is needed to adjourn the meeting.

Mr. President McCarty referred again to the Thomas -Dale NDP program and said the Management,Committee met this morning and recommends that in lieu of an election in the area that the Council schedule a date of public hearing in the Thomas -Dale area and that every registered " voter be so notified through the mail and be given an opportunity to express his views. He suggested that the hearing consist of the PAC group, the HousIng•Authority, the entire „Council and citizens and he said we will follow -the will of the people. Comsr. Carlson asked if there will be a vote, taken of the people present` at the meeting. Comsr. Tedesco said the PAC group -was elected -by the neighborhood to represent them and he referred to 2 motions he has prepared in:writing which would rescind Friday's Council action in deleting the Thomas -Dale area from the NDP proposal and would approve the Thomas=Dale program. a Mr. President McCarty asked what the will of the Council is on the recommendation of the "Management Committee.' Comsr. Butler said we still have a petition of 500 signatures in opposition. - Comsr. Meredith asked why the petition was not submitted to the PAC group. _ Mr. President McCarty said we should have a public hearing and fully explain the program. Comsr. Butler said if we'exclude street improvements, then what will we do at a later date concerning street improvements in other areas. She stressed that she is in favor of NDP. Lloyd Bergum; a member.of.the PAG group of Thomas -Dale area, said the street improvements proposal in the future will have.to come from the. people before he votes on such a proposal. He said they are there to help the people. Mr. Al Timm appeared and presented two letters of Stephen Klein, Acting Chairman of the Frog -town Civic Council, and also letters of Patricia Johnson, 487 Sherburne, Mrs. Helen Stuff., 489 Sherburne, Gloria.Bell, and Otto Dittberner, 296'Thoma.s Ave., which letters were read, com- plaining of remarks made to them concerning their signing a petition in opposition to the NDP plan. A letter of the Housing Authority was also read transmitting informa- tion on past votes taken in the Thomas -Dale area. Comsr. Carlson suggested approval of the PAC proposal with the deletion of street improvements and said if they wish 'street improvements in -the future, we could amend the application. Mr. President McCarty said the PAC plan is a recommendation, and the Council can.approve it, disapprove it or amend it as it sees fit. Comsr. Carlson.said the PAC group are the background of the plan and if we ignore.the group, we ruin the whole NDP program. Comsr. Sprafka suggested that the plan be approved and we leave the ou problem of streets and -other improvements.up to thePAC'group. P. Mr. President McCarty said two-thirds of the cost of street improvements would be borne by the Federal government but etch.street improvement must be approved by the Council and can be deleted if the people don't 1p want it. He said if the entire program is approved, we could instruct the PAC group to get the consensus of what the people want.. Mr. Presi- dent McCarty said it seems to be the consensus of the Council to rescind Friday's action approving the NDP plan of the Thomas -Dale area as sub- mitted. Comsr. Carlson suggested that the PAC group more fully explain the program to the citizens of the area. Mr. President McCarty said the actions on the various NDP proposals on Friday, Jan. 15th5 wereinformal and that a formal resolution will be, required as soon as it is prepared. He suggested that the proper action would be to informally approve the NDP plan for the Thomas -Dale area (Continued on other side) I 4919 January 20th, 1971.

Mr. Timm asked what action the Council is going to take concerning the manhandling of:people in opposition and Mr. President McCarty said the letters would be sent to the Corporation Counsel's office.

Yeas 7 Nays 0 \ a Hearing was held in the matter of the appeal of M.B.T. and Associates, Inc. to relax density and off-street parking requirements on property located on the northwest corner of Edgnumbe Road and S. Lexington Pkwy., Arthur Weisberg, attorney representing M.B.T. and Associates, Inc., said since they have become interested.in the property, they have concluded that the highest and best use of the -property is for multiple family use under the F.H.A. Sec. No.'236 Financing. He said an appli- cation was,made to F.H.A. and afterpreliminary investigation, it was found that the project would be suitable; however, it must have approval of the necessary zoning and variances, He said a plan was developed under F.H.A. No. 236 and he described the variances needed. He said they have also investigated a new plan and it appears that there is a project that can be placed on the site -meeting the requirements of the code, and their intention is to submit a plan within the code $ requirements, and for that reason, he is today withdrawing the appeal. m Mr. President McCarty reviewed the rezoning of this site and said the neighbors agreed to the rezoning based on a promised plan. He said the Council could agree not to grant any variances and they can insist that all design standards and zoning laws are met. He said at the time of consideration of a special use permit, the Council.can listen to the \ f wishes of the neighbors. Comsr. Tedesco said it,is the will of the people to rezone the property back to "A" Residence, Mr. President McCarty indicated that because it has been previously rezoned, we cannot rezone back to "A" Residence but we can require adherence to all code requirements. Comsr. Carlson said because of the conditionsonthe original rezoning which were not met, he thinks we could rezone the property back to "A". Residence. Comsr. 1.Butler referred to the market value Ion -the property of $127,000 and said we should ask the County Assessor why he arrived at°that valu- ation and if he refuses to increase it, we should go to court and force him to do so. (Continued on other side) _ 492O0 \ , \� January 21st, 1971. Discussion on M.B.T. and Associates, Inc. Appeal (continued) Comsr. Tedesco said we should rezone the property back,to "A" Residence even if it would result in a court case. Comsr. Butler questioned why the City signed the original petition to rezone and Comsr. Tedesco said the Parks Dept. has always signed petitions and if the Council does not want departments to continue, it should so direct them. Comsr. Butler said no department should sign a petition until we get a neighborhood input. Mr, President McCarty said in view of the withdrawal of the zoning appeal, - there is nothing in front of the Council. He said we can instruct the appellant to come in with a plan in strict conformity with the'Zoning Code or we can ask the Corporation Counsel for.legal advice on whether the Council can rezone the property. D. D. Wozniak, 4ttorney representing residents in opposition, reviewed " material submitted in a brochure to the Mayor and City Council.. He said none of the residents were asked to sign the original petition, for rezoning and he referred to the many promises -.spread over'the minutes of various meetings and hearings. -He said Clapp-Thomssen further said that they would be a part owner and they would not sell the property, and he referred specifically to their letter of intent. He said if the Council does not vote to rezone this property back to . "A" Residence, they will be telling developers that promises do not have to be met. He -asked that the Council adopt a resolution directing the various departments and officials to refuse any building permits for this property unless it conforms to plans on file with the ordi- nance rezoning the property,.and he said he would also:like to see the ; Council take action to rezone the property back to "A" Residence. Mr. President McCarty suggested that the City might be interested in condemning the property and purchasing it for a park and he said. we could negotiate with the owners based on'the market value placed on the -property -by the Assessor. Mrs."DeCourcy, 1168 Edgcumbe Road, submitted a petition of 600 names in opposition and reviewed the rezoning proceeding and said most people _ did not know about it, and she said the property was the original part of the comprehensive park plan. Robert Gerber, 1278 Sargent, appeared.and spoke in opposition to the proposal and said he represented the Edgcumbe Playground Booster Club. He said the request for a variance is breaking faith and he referred to the detrimental effects,the proposal could have on the playground and he urged that no building be allowed on the property. Mr. President McCarty asked Mr. Weisberg questions pertaining to the p purchase price of the property and Mr. Weisberg said he could not reveal the price. , Mr. Heaberlin, 1218 Edgeumbe, Mr. George Fuller, President of.the Randolph Heights P.T.A.,.and Mr. Dick Barrett, 1251 Edgcumbe, Mrs. Ruby Hunt, Mr. Roy Arnold, 1247 Wellesley, Mr, Fran Stark, 1312 Jefferson, all appeared and spoke in opposition to the proposal. _ Mr. Wozniak referred to the recent Supreme Court decision involving the Morgan Ave. rezoning and he read part of the decision regarding the effectapartment houses have on residential property. Mr. President McCarty suggested that the Corporation Counsel be instruc- ted to communicate with the owners of the property to find out whether they intend to follow their; original concept and if not, request them to join in a petition to rezone the property back to "A" Residence, andif they don't agree, then the Council should rezone the property, and if we lose a lawsuit, then -we should condemn.the property for park purposes. Comsr. Butler said if they don't join in a petition to rezone, then we should have the Valuation Engineer establish.a`market value and direct the County Assessor to tax the property -accordingly. Mr. Wozniak again urged a resolution refusing building permits. Comsr. Tedesco moved that we instruct all City departments to with- hold permits for improvements on this property under consideration. Motion carried. Yeas - 7 Nays.`- 0 Comsr. Levine suggested that the Parks Dept...investigate the property for park purposes -and possibly even acquire the property and put it in a land bank. Comsr. Tedesco said he also wished to move that departments be instructed not to sign petitions unless approved by a majority vote -of the Council. Comsr. Carlson suggested legal advice on-this.question, and Mr. President cCarty asked the Corporation Cgunsel to investigate this matter.

Yeas - 7 Nays - 0 Al Kowalc ak - z of the Payne Minnehaha Community Counreferred to the proposed sale of Fire Station No.. 11. He'said1ey propose that the City loan the building to the East Metropolitan Day Activit-* Council for a training center and he requested that the sale be held up until they can make a full presentation. ,Mr. President -McCarty said there are 3 fire stations that are put out to auction and he referred to many individuals and groups who would like the property,'but it was the decision to put the property back on the tax rolls. Comsr. Butler said the Land Committee discussed the entire issue and the Parks Dept. and others wanted the buildings but it was agreed to put the property back on the tax roll. John Durand of the Occupation Training Center and a staff member of the East Metropolitan Day Activities Council (EMDAC) referred to the program of theactivitiescenters to develop programs for retarded people, He said they propose a work activity center for this location. Mr. President McCarty left at this point in the meeting. Mr. Durand said the project can be funded through state funds but, they allow no money for the purchase of buildings or payment of rent. Eunice McClure of EMDAa explained further the program for the educa- tion of retarded people. -• Mr. Tuttle, Executive Director of a retarded children's association, commented further on the education of retarded children and he said one step is missing in their.program and that is work training.. He said in the long run, the City could be money ahead with such a program to put many people to work. At the question of Comsr. Carlson, Mr. Donovan read the notice of auction sale and suggested that any withdrawal should be made prior to the auction. At the question of the Council, Mr, Tuttle said there are no funds available from United Fund or other 'agencies; however, he hoped the h p next Legislature will change the provisions and provide money for such facilities. Qbmsr. Levine asked about the cost of remodeling and the condition -of the building and Mr. Kadrie said -one architect has offered his services'at no cost. Mr. Donovan read part of the Building Dept. report on the condition[ - of the building and said considering its age, it is a good building.• Comsr. Carlson suggested that we withhold sale of -this property from auction. Comsr. Butler suggested that it be referred back to the Land Cormni.ttee and this group could make a presentation'to the committee. Comsr. Tedesco moved that Fire Station No. 11 be deleted from the auction to be held Thursday and the proposed sale be held up for at least 60 days. Mr. Isaacs, Purchasing Agent,. - said about 15 organizations have shown interest in these buildings and the law clearly defines the provision to dispose of buildings.. He said in accordance with law, they'chose to auction the property and there is a question whether the.City can negotiate until an auction is held. Comsr.

Butler complained to the Mayor about remarks in yesterday's newspaper stating that Council members have not shown any interest in government reorganization. - Mr. President McCarty explained his contact with staff of the Public Works Dept. requesting a report on reorganization. He said the state meat that no member of the.Council is interested in reorganization is inaccurate and at some time a decision must be made for the transition to the new Charter. He said organization is adetermination of the Council and he does not want anyone.to think that the Council members have no interest. He said there is no reorganization plan as such and these are only some thougbts and he said any Council member can ask for advice or suggestions from any City employe. oomsr. Bugler said the time is now to get into reorganization and she questions Mr.-Schnarr's capability. She requested'that the Mayor appoint a committee of 4 Council members and 4 Charter Commission members, and said she did not like the way the Mayor handled it. Mr.' President McCarty, said he will appoint a committee of Comers. Sprafka, Tedesco and Meredith -and himself, and Comsr. Butler asked that she be appointed to the committee. Mr. President McCarty said we must plan ahead and it is the reWponsibility of the Council to provide for reorganization. Comsr. Butler again asked that she be appointed to the committee. Comai. Meredith suggested that each Commissioner come up with ideas on his present department. Comsr..Butler suggested'. that he be taken off the committee and Mrs. Butler replace him. Mr. President McCarty then said that the entire Council will serve as a committee as a whole. Comsr. Butler said up to now, Mr. President McCarty has been running a one-man show and it should be a 7 -man show. Mr. President' McCarty said be asked a man in City government who he thought was well-qualified to give him some suggestions, and he said any of these ideas are just ideas. Comsr. Butler questioned whether Mr. President McCarty has time to r 'devote to Chairman of this committee. Comer. Levine supported Comsr. Butler's statements and said reorganiza- tion is a high priority item and there should be a full and open dis- cussion and the Charter Commission should be involved. He suggested _• that the committee meet on a regular basis with committee assignments to various members. He said just yesterday prior to reading the newspaper article, he had talked with the Chairman of the Charter ` Commission on this subject. He said it should not be a last-minute ® (Continued on other side),: 4922 January 28th, 1971. Discussion on Reorganization (continued) item and should involve others besides the City Council.

He also referred to the Commission work on .long range planning, and he described their proposals in some detail. He also outlined their request to the Legislature for financing. Mayor.MeCarty asked about the improvement of exhaust systems on busses, and Mr. Bolstad replied that they will experiment with vertical exhaust pipes on the new busses. Commissioner Levine referred to some 89 busses that do not come into conformance with City laws, and Mr. Springer said they met yesterday with the Pollution Department and it has mainly been a problem of maintenance. Mayor McCarty also asked about money spent on advertising, and Mr.-Bolstad explained the need to inform the people of their service. At the question of Commissioner Butler, Mr. Bolstad said their advertising budget for 1971 is $200,000.00. Cbmmissioner Butler questioned this $200,000.00 expenditure and why it is not used to reduce fares to senior citizens. She requested that priorities be rededicated in order to `lower the rate for senior -citizens. She also - asked questions about the shelter program, and wby a greater.number of shelters are constructed in Minneapolis: - Mayor McCarty indicated to Mr. Bolstad that if he .sees another full page i ad by the Bus Company that there will be a lawsuit.. He further,, predicted total failure of the Commission's proposals because human nature has changed. Mr.-Bolstad quoted statistics on population and number of people with cars, etc., and.to the increased office space and Aess parking space.. ' Commissioner Butler asked Mr. Bolstad if he has requested an Attorney General opinion about senior citizen rates, and Mr. Bolstad replied about.their efforts to start this program. Commissioner Levine said that at a recent meeting the number one priority of the people is to get a reduced bus fare. He said their advertising is not increasing the rides, and he suggested more coumpunity involvement: Mr. Bolstad referred to a present study group appointed by.Commissioner Holland, and he cammented further on various citizen and technical -advisers. Commissioner Levine said if we give a reduced fare this will do more than advertising: , Commissioner Levine also asked what the role of the City representatives is. Mayor McCarty suggested that the Commission get an opinion of the Attorney General on reduced fares. Commissioner Butler asked Mr. Bolstad to have Mr. Holland to be available for questions of the Council. Commissioner Levine asked that Mr. Holland appear before the Council prior 'to Metropolitan TransitCommission meetings, in order that the'Council could convey their thoughts on issues. C. F. 252213.

Mr. K1as further explained several Supreme Court decisions and the problems concerned with this subject. Commissioner Butler said she is concerned about remarks in today's paper by Commissioner Meredith concerning reorganization and, specifically; stating that the resolution passed%by the Council setting up a committee is illegal delegation of authority. She said the resolution states a' purpose of the committee to draft a plan and refer it to the Council. She said Mayor McCarty is too busy`to get the job done; and the Charter Commission Committee can hold hearings and recommend a proposal which the Council can 'accept 'or reject. She said Mayor McCarty can still draft his own recommendations. Commissioner Meredith said the Council agreed to meet one week _from today and we should have input from all seven elected officials.- He said he is not questioning the legality but he referred to the resolution as a childish thing.

Cemmmissioner Tedesco left at this point yin the meeting. Commissioner Butler asked if Commissioner Meredith will support the reso- lution if the Mayor and all members of the Council are on the committee.

He said we can discuss the entire matter next Wednesday. Commissioner Levine said after all the hours the Charter Commission spent on the issue they should be involved to coordinate the activity of reorga- nization. Ccmmissioner•Carlson suggested that the Charter Commission secure funds to go to other cities to learn their problems in switching from a commission form of government to a new adopted form. ` Commissioner Meredith suggested that the Charter Commission be invited to the Council's meeting next Wednesday. Commissioner Butler said Mayor McCarty would be capable to chair the meeting if he had time and she recommended that she could withdraw the resolution and submit it to Mayor McCarty for signature. Commissioner Levine said final approval still rests with the Council. Commissioner Butler said she is not interested in Mayor McCarty being the Chairman of this committee because he is a Bully. Commissioner Levine suggested that we not discuss any reorgnization unless, all seven members are present. Commissioner Carlson referred to previous action of the Council agreeing to set up a public hearing on the question of parking, meters, and he asked that - a public hearing,date be established. He said Mayor McCarty stated -the Council would hold a public hearing, and he moved that a date of hearing be set.

Butler indicated that she would bring in the resolution every time it is; vetoed. Comsr, Sprafka said the veto message is clear that the Mayor wants '- to have all the "input" possible and a formal resolution is not even necessary. He said we might even be violating the power of. the Council to delegate this authority. Comsr. Butler said the Mayor is too busy to be Chairman of the various committees and she said he had not called a Public Utilities Committee meeting and as a result, they have problems with Northern States Power Co. She said she does not question his capability but he does not have time to chair the various committee meetings. She said in no way does the resolution delegate the Council*s_authority. _- Mr. President McCarty read again from his veto message in which he asks for recommendations from anyone interested in reorganization.

Comsr. Meredith further explained the law and there was considerable discussion on it, and Comsr. Butler suggested that the matter be taken up at the License Committee meeting., Bernard T. Rolland, City Representative on the Metropolitan Transit Comm#dion, appeared at the request of the Council. He said when he introduced 29r. Bolstad receatly,;he had to leave shortly there. after and did not know the Council wanted to ,question him. He referred to the membership of the Commission and to his work for the good of St. Paul. He said he worked to retain the ATC office in St. Paul, and he referred to`a follow-up of Comsr. Levine's ,request for bus service to high-rise buil"ngs.for the elderly. He also referred to the shelter program and said.he talked Withy' the former Mayor and Council when bus ownership was being con- sidered. - Comsr� Butler asked about the $200p000 advertising budget. " .Mr. Holland said no more money i& being spent out of the advertising budget and he will vote against any further, expenditure. Mr. President McCarty asked about certain specific advertising and hang it would improve bus service, and at this time, there.was some discussion on the membership of the MTC and on the possibility of \ restructuring the formula. Comsr. Butler requested that. Mr. Holland come before the Council every 6 or 7 weeks to report on what is being done by the MTC. Comer. Levine referred to a statement of Mr. Bolstad that they are going to try &'proposal to reduce fares for senior citizens and he also referred to proposed legislation that .w6Aj4 prevent such re- duction in fares. He also referred to'the advertising budget and a he asked specifically what is being"done on the condition of buses. Mr. Holland said he had been told by Mr.,Springer that buses are. being repaired. (Continued on next sheet) . 1 4.926 February 9th., 1971., Discussion on Metropolitan Transit Cosmission (continued) Comer. Levine requested that the MTC forward to Comer. Sprafka the number of buses that don't meet City and state standards. He asked when the MTC is goi.ng.to institute service to the other high-rise buildings and he also asked for Mr. Holland's thinking on future transit needs.' Comer. Levine further referred to a study committee and asked how it was selected. Comer. Holland said he wrote to the Mayor and after he did not ti receive a reply, he appointed 2 people from Labor and 2 people from the Chamber of Commerce and l from the League of Women Voters, and he named Messrs. Cushing, Lindahl, Dooley,. McNulty and Mrs. Krona. Comer., Butler suggested that Comer. Levine bring in a resolution opposing any legislation that would,not allow reduced bus rates. Comer. Levine said he would like to meet with the St. Paul repre- sentatives on the study committee.: Mr. President McCarty asked that each member of the Council be furnished a copy of the MTC legislative program. Mrs. Donald Windish appeared concerning aid for retarded children and she referred to requirements of the Federal government and to various letters and discussion she has had with the Welfare Dept. concerning medical aid for her children. Mr. President McCarty suggested that she appear before -the Welfare Board today and Comer. Meredith referred to a $50„OOO appropriation a year ago for cases that do not meet certain requirements. There was further discussion between Mrs. Windish and the Mayor and Council members concerning this subject.and to past discussions she has had with the staff of the Welfare 'Dept. Mr. President McCarty left at this point in the meeting. An unidentified man appeared and referred to the difficult and -illegal •laws affecting epileptics and their right to marry and he said this•law'and many other old laws :should be changed. Harley Gibbons said he wished to commend the Council on NO PARKING restrictions on Maryland Ave. and he said the traffic is now speeded up and there is a need for left -turn signals from Arkwright.to John- son Pkwy. He also referred to drive-ins on Maryland just east of &Arcade and he suggested that left turns.into drive-ins be prohibited. The matter was ordered referred.to the Traffic Engineer and Traffic Committee. Mr. Gibbons also referred to a letter he received Dec. 23rd, concerning an inspection of his property at 395 E. Cook, which took place on Dec. 18th, and 'to'a certificate he received stating his home is in compliance with the Housing Code. He said his home has never been.inspected and he referred to his conversation with the various Inspectors concerning the matter. Comer. Butler said there is some validity to the complaint ;and she has other similar ones and this is a Management Committee problem. She said the matter should be referred to the Management Committee and if the committee does.not meet, he should bring the matter back to the Council. She said if the committee does not function the same as it has, she will resgp from -it. Mr. Gibbons said it is an abuse of the Mayor's signature to sign such \ a certificate and a waste of Federal funds. ' Pete Kubash said he owns property on Joy St.:at-Water St. and the City. wants him to close the entrance to a cave. He ;said he eventually wants to use the property and he referred to a wall he built which was torn down by vandals.and he indicated.that nothing could be done to prevent vandalism. Comer. Sprafka said the area might be an attractive nuisance and it must be secured and it was agreed that the matter should be referred to the City Architect for a report to the Council.

(Continued on following page.) a February 10, 1971 49269 (Discussion on reorganization of City government continued from preceding page.) Mayor McCarty said the Charter provides that the Mayor is Chairman of the committee, and we will consider every Wednesday this matter and anyone is -welcome to make suggestions. He said everything will be done right out in the open. Commissioner Tedesco said if the Mayor feels he has time to Chair the committee then he will go along with`it, but he would suggest.regularly scheduled night meetings. Mayor McCarty said he visualizes hearings but not until we have some formal proposals. Mayor McCarty suggested that the Council express their ideas on the pos- sibility of a single inspection bureau. Commissioner Levine said it is not the time to discuss a specific matter, but we should decide on an agenda with dates to discuss certain items. Commissioner Meredith suggested a committee of deputies and certain bureau heads. Commissioner Butler suggested a committee to coordinate all these -matters. Mayor McCarty said the purpose of the Charter Commission is to recommend changes and revisions to the Charter and they are not to concern themselves with operational matters. - At this time there was some discussion on combining departments and services. Comtmi.ssioner'Sprafka suggested that.we get suggestions from all Departments. Mayor McCarty said each member should suggest what can be done to improve their Department. Commissioner Levine suggested this be done at the afternoon meeting so we can spend.three or four hours, if necessary, on the subject with the Charter Commission to conduct the meetings. Mayor McCarty said that at the next Wednesday meeting we will have a Secre- tary present to transcribe the minutes of every meeting, and copies of Department recommendations would be made.for all Commissioners. Commissioner Butler said she thinks her resolution on a committee was good, and she will ask the Charter Commission to,set up that kind of committee, and at this time she is publicly and officially asking them to do so. Commissioner. Levine referred to the attendance records of Councilmen at Charter Commission meetings, and said .it shows that Councilmen don't have the time to attend all the various meetings. Commissioner Carlson asked to receive comments from Mrs. Hunt, Chairman of the Charter Commission. Mayor McCarty said the first decision is on the prerogative of the Council to provide for reorganization, and the only concern is finding a better way to run the City.He said a good way to start is to follow Commissioner Sprafka's suggestion that each Commissioner submit suggestions in written form., Mrs. Hunt said she is aware of the responsibility of the Council to provide reorganization. However, they will assist in any way they can. ®Mayor McCarty asked that the Charter Commission transmit to the Council any documented information that would be useful toethe Council. Mr. Ted Allen, 973 Iglehart, a member of the Chartr`CCommission, said he was speaking as a private citizen, and he said he thinks the best suggestion is that of Commissioner Butler for a committee of all Councilmen, represen= tatives of the Charter Commission and representatives of the community. He suggested representatives from every section of the City. Commissioner Butler said the majority of the people in the City want this. George Jurgensen, representing the 'Fire ,Fighters, said he would appreciate being aware of the meetings, and thinks that other City employes might be interested. Commissioner Levine asked for an agenda for next Wednesday's meeting, and Mayor McCarty indicated that they would discuss the suggestions of -every _ Cammu ssioner concerning their Departments. "Commissioner Levine asked about his suggestion to hear Mr. Schnarr's proposal, and several Commissioners suggested that it may_take more time to prepare their own suggestions, and it may be Weil to hear Mr. SChnarr's proposal - next Wednesday.

Discussion on Hemline Ave. Improvement Proposal (continued) He referred to the Cretin Ave., project some years ago which was not widened but he said the traffic has continued to increase. Mr. President McCarty suggested and discussed the possibility of a hearing before any work is done on a project. He further suggested that we ban parking on both sides of Hemline Ave. and abandon the improvement project. There was some discussion between Mr. Schnarr and Mr. President McCarty on the possibility of some way of determining whether the Public Works should proceed on improvements.', Mr. President McCarty suggested that they continue their investi- gation on priorities but prior to the Preliminary Orders they ask the Council to discuss the improvemedt. Cossr. Carlson moved that the PrelimnarY Order for the improve- ment of Hemline Ave. be rescinded with the intent to ban parking on both sides of Hemline Ave. John Christensen, 10 Stanford$ representing the Sdgcnmbe P14Ygd Assn., referred to 3 projects that have jeopardized the neighborhood, ngmelyr, the improvement of Jefferson_ "a high-rise project at Sdgcumbe % and Lexington$ and the Hemline Ave. improvement.. He said the broader issue is ghat we are doing to the City. He suggested that the Short Line Road be an alternate to relieve traffic and be urged that the' Council atop the project. Arthur Brown of the Calvary Lutheran Church said they are concerned . and he asked that with the parking and the widening prior'to parking restrictionsi'the Traffic Engineer be asked toimake a study.: He said he preferred to save the neighborhood rather than lose the trees. Mr. President McCarty indicated that he will ask the Traffic Engineer to give the Council such "a study. ' Comer.Tedesco suggested that we ban parking except on Sundays. Comer. Butler said we need to take a stand to improve the_gaality of life in St. Paul andsheasked why we should jeopardize the life of citizens for the benefit of those who drive through the city. e, saaid traffic has to move but the quality of life is; more important. Sh ShesrCarlson said if this is the position of the Council, then we Co should ask the State to change the rules, and he said we would be paying these taxes and not getting any return. Mr. President Mccarty said parking on the street is a privilege and not a right and the streets are for the movement of traffic. Comer. Levine said if the philosophy is to widen streets to move traffic, then this problemwillcome up again, and as far as he is concerned, there is only one answer and that is mass transit. He said the Hamlin Ave. issue may be settled today but we need a determination of the Council on the philosophy of street'improve- ments.said a change Mr. Schnarr, at the question of Mr. President McCarty, in°MSA Funds requires a constitutional amendment. He said mass transit would not totally solve the problend be referred to the tr it lanes. need for streets to connect to the mass a�s Comer. Levine said he thinks Mr. Schnarr is pocked into 1957 thinking regarding.high-speed trains, and he said there are other proposals such as feeder buses, and Hemline Aye. may be an ideal ` situation for a mini-bus. There was further discussion on the motion to rescind the Preliminary order on Hemline Ave. with no parking to be instituted, and Comer.

Hearing was held on the Neighborhood Development Program and Redevelopment Plan for Central Core Aea Minn. A-1-5, and Project Activities thereby proposed. Mayor McCarty referred to a proposal of Norman Mears of Buckbee-Mears Company to develop the area in he neighborhood of Smith Park, and to expend a con- siderable amount of private money for such project. He referred to the pro- posal being presented to the Housing Authority and to the Mayor, and said they propose to include the area .under the NDP Program. Mr. Helfeld said they are proposing to acquire ten structures, eight of'which are very sub -standard. He also referred to a change in the language in the application relating to undeveloped parcels in the Seven Corners area. Mr. Kretsch, representing the Lohman" Company, said the Housing Authority indicates that they will relocate all the people in the area and, with that understanding, . he is whole-heartedly in favor of the plan. Mayor McCarty indicated that Mr. Mears has an option to purchase additional pro- perty which he will rent at the same rental price now being paid. -Mr. James Miley, attorney representing Mr. and Mrs. Nerenberg of Northern Fur- niture Company, said they dispute the fact that their building needs major repairs, and oppose the proposal.. He said they almquestion whether the taking is for a public purpose. He said they wish to stay there and will participate with the requiredfacade. Mayor McCarty said the area has been neglected and the development would be an asset to the City. Mr. Miley.said his clientsrecently made improvements and no one has approached them regarding replacement rental. He requested that they be excluded from the application. He said they will agree to the required facade and want to par- ticipate as a partner. Mayor McCarty said the Council is concerned with the concept for the entire area and the details can be worked out satisfactorily. Commissioner Carlson said we should ask Mr. Mears if he is willing to work with the others. Mayor McCarty said approval today does not mean that every building must be demolished. Mr. Helfeld suggested approval-subjAt to further negotiations with `the Housing Authority, and a report back to the 6ouncil prior to any demolition.. Mayor McCarty said if we approve the overall plan we can acquire some proper- ties and not acquire some. Mr. Helfeld said they would report back to the Council on any agreements with the various property' owners, Commissioner Carlson said he would like more assurance that the project would V materialize. Mayor McCarty said.all we are doing today is approving the application to the government for this area. He said Mr. Mears told him that he is firmly com- mitted to the project. Commissioner Butler said it will come back to the Council for a second review. Tom Dolan of Northwestern National Bank Marketing Department appeared in support of the proposal,, and said we need a strong attraction in the downtown area, and we are fortunate to.have a developer interested in such a program. Gary Tankenoff, owner of the building occupied by Harry's Bar, said he is in favor of the basic concept. He asked why the Housing Authority doesn't intend to take sub -standard buildings on Seventh Street, and he said he hopes they have a signed contract and a time limit so we don't end up with a lot of displaced businesses and another parking lot. No Mr. Everett, representing the Chamber of Commerce, said the redevelopment of the East Central Business' District is a very necessary action, and he urged approval of the proposal. (Continued on reverse side.) 492?0 February 12, 1971 (Discussion on hearing on Neighborhood Development Program and Redevelopment Plan_ for Central Core Area, Minn.

Mr. Miley asked the Council to wait one week and ask: Mr. Mears.to make a full presentation. ac Mayor McCarty said there will be no%isition until: the Housing Authority reviews the matter with the property owners and a report is made back to the Council. Commissioner Levine asked questions about the time limit for filing this application and asked when Mr. Mears made his proposal. Mayor McCarty said Mr. Mears unveiled his thinking to the Mayor and the Housing Authority, and the plan was developed. Commissioner Butler said she is in favor of the project, however the application provides for acquisition and clearance of sites. Mr. Kretsch said the property below Jackson has been delayed for eight years and he urged that it not be delayed another year. Mr. Helfeld-again stated that they will not go ahead until:negotiations are complete and acceptable to the City Council. Commissioners Meredith, Butler and Tedesco indicated agreement to approve, the application on the basis that no demolition will take place until the matter comes back before the Council for review.

An unidentified man said he came to St. Paul today to buy tickets to the production and said he works in Minneapolis with youth on drug abuse.

An unidentified lady referred to the debate at the Civic Center Auth- ority meeting -and said Mr. Friedmann should resign if he can't do anything better for St. Paul. An unidenti:CLed man said shows like HAIR are part of the results of • our way of life and the line should be drawn now. Mr. President McCarty said when 'he took the oath of office, he swore to uphold the Constitation and other laws. He said there is a legal way to put down a violation of law. He said theConstitutionallows freedom of speech and the Supreme Court has defined what is obscene. He said if the Supreme Court says HAIR is an obscene production, then he will take action to stop it. He said there has been no showing• today that the law has been broken and at any time there is obscene conduct within the Supreme Court decision, then he will take the necessary action. He said each side of the issue is entitled to their opinion and'it is none of his business until it.becomes a violation of law, a William White said he sees no objection to the production and if people are opposed to obscenities, they should help him fight racism.
