Hearing was held on the application of Antler Corporation for a permit to install a 3407car parking lot to be used'in conjunction with a 225 unit apartment building on the south side of Wilson Avenue between,, Pedersen and_Tower Streets. Letter.of the Zoning Board was read -recommending denial of the application. Mr. Hoeschler ;referred to a small "A" residential piecew property in front of their proposal and said they are not asking for'any parking on this property- nor are they asking for any rezoning of the property or variances. He said he has discussed alternative proposals with neighbors and the Zoning Board, and because of opposition they have abandoned propo- sals for alternatives to use the "A" residential property for parking. He said their new drawing includes an exit to the shopping center from the Bast paxking lots and the design has been changed to prevent'thoroughfare through the shopping center. He said the traffic is no.different than.any other situation, and it is not a low rent project, and the flow of traffic has been given great consideration by everyone involved.- He said as a result of conferences,he believes this is the best possible proposal and they have complied with all ordinances and_axe not asking for variances. At the question of Commissioner Conway, he said the revised,plan has not been before the Zoning.Board. &t the question of Mayor McCarty, he said stop signs recommenVd_by the Traffic Engineer will be complied with. Bir. Van Holasen'said compliance with the.Traffic Engineer's requirements will be met ,on the final plans. ;William Long spoke in opposition, and said the Zoning Board turned down; the proposal not just because of the exit to the shopping center, but because`of the traffic congestion on Howard and Wilson Streets. He said he doubts whether.ihe driveway adjacent to the bank will be 26 feet. He said'Wilson is a curved, residential street and it cannot take the — additional traffic., He suggested thatthe entrance at Howard Street be for ingress only. There was some discussion between Mr. Long and Mayor McCarty on various alternatives to the entrances and exits, and how one-way exits could be policed. Commissioner Butler said she questions whether the lot meets design standar Mayor McCarty said a parking lot must meet design standards and have the approval of the Traffic Engineer.•,,.~ ,.. There was considerable discussion at this time by Council members concerning o a access to the'parking lots for this proposal.. Mr. Van Hqusen said the topographical condition of the property prevent access to the East parking lot closer to the Water Department property, andI he explained other exits and the landscaping of the property. Commissioner Tedesco said the Zoning Board- recommended denial•, and he thinks c this parking lot will cause many problems. Bi11 Peters said there was no plT ing with the neighbors, and their first knowledge of the project was -when the bulldozers appeared on the property,'-, - and there are too many apartments proposed for this area.. A resident on iIpward''St. urged tbi the East entrance on Wilson -St. near' Howard be made one=way for entering only, and he'suggested a traffic island be constructed to implement this suggestion. (Continued on reverse side.) r January 6, 1972. 50354, \Discussion on Antler Corporation application continued from reverse side. Commissioner Levine said informal approval was given iiecause of a technicality in Handing. He said an entrance only -on Howard might alleviate part of,the _ problem. ri ht-to.,access to Wilson Ave. Mayor McCarty said property owners have,the legal, g Commissioner Butler asked'if the developer would try an.-entranc4 only on the easterly driveway. .Commissioner Meredith said the Police Traffic Division is not in favor of the East exit to the shopping center area. -Mr. Hoeschler said the entrances are in the most logical places, and this is no different than any other street intersection. _ Mayor McCarty said the matter before the Council is the granting,of a Special Use Permit. He said it meets design standards and Wilson Avenue is the only public thoroughfare the property abuts, and either, the permit should be. granted or the City will be in court.. Commissioner Tedesco said the people also want assurance that thoy will not have to come to another hearing to rezone the "A" residential.property.

A resident at Larpenteur and Jackson said there are potholes and standing water on many other streets and the traffic and parking are not the problem they are described to be. He said widening would make it a speedway. A lady who lives at the corner -of Wheelock and Jackson spoke'in opppsition, and said the street doesn't need improvement or widening and the assessment I. will be a financial burden. Commissioner Butler asked if elimination of parking would reduce the neces- sity to widen the street. Commissioner Conway said we must consider trafficeon Jackson and we can't continue to maintain streets in their present condition. Commissioner Levine asked about the traffic projection and about consi- deration for mass transportation. Commissioner Conway said 2.9! -million dollars,has been spent on portions of Jackson Street and to stop the improvement now would be irresponsible. ~ Commissioner Levine said we are not solving traffic problems by improving streets, and to be consistent he would vote No on the order.

Prescott St. lying between the Westerly R/W line of Kansas Ave.'extended and the Easterly R/W line of Trunk Highway. 3; AND Onega St. lying between the Northerly R/W line of Congress St. extended and the Southerly R/W lines extended of Isabel and Concord Sts. Letter of J. William Donovan was read recommending approval of the vacation of Prescott St. subject to certain terms and conditions AND also recommen- ding certain conditions if the Council vacates the portion of Onega St. George Hollen, 36 Concord St., owner of -a printing firm, said if Onega St, is vacated,"they will not have access to their loading dock.' Mr. Hart said one-half of the street will accrue to Mr. Hollen's property. Comsr. Butler asked. about the proposed ice arena and it was reported that the vacation is needed to provide more parking spaces. Comsr. Butler said maybe -another site should, have been picked and there was no reason to harm a property owner. Mr. Terrance O'Toole.`said the committee looked for over 6 months before they got this site and it is probably the only place on the West Side where there is enough land to build an ice rink. He said the ice rink is a higher priority than a loading dock. k Mr. Hollen said the suggestion by the Housing Authority for a loading dock off Concord St. would be more harmful to traffic and parking. Mr. Hart said if one-half of the vacated street were in Mr; Hollen's ownership, he could control parking better. Mr. O'Toole said the vacation is needed to provide 21 additional parking spaces and there was considerable discussion about the parking area. Cons r. Butler moved that the Council grant the vacation of one-half of Onega St. and retain,one-half as a public street. Mr. Hollen expressed concern about parking on Onega and Comsr. Conway said the street would have to be re -designed. Mr. Hurtley also expressed problems in vacating one=half a street. Mr. 'Hollen said if the Public Works Dept. has a plowing problem, then certainly private industry would have the same. Mr. Donovan said one-half of the street would have to be one-way and there are also drainage problems and he urged that the matter be laid_ over for further study. Comsr. Butler agreed to include in her motion that approval is subject to the Public Works Dept, with the directions that the Council wants the Public Works Dept. to find a way to do it. Mr. Hollen said the action might force him to move from the City. Comsr. Butler said she w1ld agree to allow 2 weeks for Public Works study. Mr. Hollen said there.is no way a truck could getthroughon one-half of the street. Mr. Crea urged that the entire 60 ft. beEvacated with a guarantee of access for Mr. Hollen. Mr. Ray Hollen said access must be available when the situation arises. Mr. O!Toole said he thinks.they could enter into anagreement.providing inre'ss and, egress for Mr. Hollen. Comsr. Butler withdrew her original motion. Comsr. Butler moved that the vacation be granted SUBJECT to easements allowing permanent access to Mr. Hollen's property.

M. rk \` February 3, 197.2 CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS - CITY HALL & COURT HOUSE Saint Paul, Minnesota ° The meeting was called to order at 10:10 A. M. by Mr. V.P. Meredith. Present - Comsrs. Butler, Conway, Levine,j Sprafka, Tedesco, Mr. V.P. Meredith ... 6 Absent - Mr. Pres. McCarty ... 1 (Excused. Reading of the minutes was dispensed with. Hearing was held in the matter of the appeal.of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Johnson to relax requirements to allow more than five roomers in an "A" Residence District on -property on the south side,of Goodrich between South Victoria and South Avon Streets. Commissioner Butler explained her proposed amendment to the Zoning Code to allow foster homes, and she said the City Attorney has now said the Johnsons are not in violation of the Code. Mr. Klas read the definition of "family" in the Zoning Code, and said he would have to take the position based on what facts have been presented that the Johnson operation would meet the definition of "family". He said, however, the new Code might not be the same and there may be other facts not considered. Lee Fisher, home finder for the Welfare Department, explained that the Johnsons are operators of a licensed foster home under their guidance and supervision. She said they receive a board and room rate and they are considered substitute parents. Commissioner Butler said no one in this venture.is in it for commercial purposes.` Mr. Klas said if the relation between the Johnsons and the children con- stitute a"family"within the definition of the Zoning Code, then the use would be permitted. He said, however; more information mighte needed. Commissioner Butler asked that the hearing be held and that tffie Council make 'a determination. Walter Hunt, 813 Fairmount, said there are more neighbors in opposition than in favor. He said the application will change the zoning of the area, and the people who favor it do not live in the area. He also said they fear the Johnsons will take in more children if the appeal'is granted. He urged that the amount of compensation paid the Johnsons be brought to public view. Dave;Clemans spoke in opposition to the variance and expressed concern about a precedent being set for the neighborhood. Mr. O'Neill, attorney for the appellants, said they would agree to the variance' as long as the Johnsons own,the home. Commissioner Meredith suggested that they be given informal approval for a permit for eight to be eventually reduced in number. Mr. Hoeschler, attorney representing the people who sold the property to the Johnsons, said they investigated this.matter at the time of sale and felt the use is allowed. Robert Tuttle of the St. Paul Assn. for Retarded Children defined a foster care home and said the operators are considered substitute parents. Commissioner Meredith said he would rule that the application is moot, due to the advice of the City Attorney. Mr. Klas said there still may beban absence of fact and there are ques- tions to be answered. Commissioner Tedesco said the Building Dept. will not press for the,, enforcement of the Zoning Code during the interim period, if the appli= cation is laid over. ` Comsr. Butler moved that the matter be laid over to March 7th., in order to give time to the Council to consider her proposed amendment to the Zoning Code, and also to give the Corporation Counsel an opportunity to file his opinion.

FINAL ORDER Improve WHEELOCK PARKWAY (City Project P-0557) from Dale St. to Rice St. under P.O. 255582 approved Septa 2, 1971. Claude Thompson, Public Works Design Engineers said over the years the Parks Dept. has not had sufficient funds to maintain the parkway and the Public Works Dept. has maintained it. He gave a slide presentation showing the location of the parkway.and the condition of the present pavement, and he explained the proposal. Bernard Kinderman, 393 W. Wheelock, said he is in favor of part of the improvement. He said the portion between Nebraska and Dale -St. is in satisfactory condition but between Nebraska and Rice St., it is in poor condition. He referred to trucks using the parkway and said he is opposed to an assessment for the benefit of trucks. He also dis- cussed the matter of curb replacement. Eugene Scharenbroich said he also agrees to the improvement between Nebraska and Rice St. He referred to the condemnation and assessment a few years ago of a portion of the bluff area and said they were told at that time there would be money to be used for the improvement of the street. Peter Linder said he agrees the parkway needs improvement but he re- ferred to a large amount of swamp land and he said he is being assessed for 10% of the total assessment. He said they use Marion St. as access to their greenhouses. William Einieldt, 518 W. Wheelock-, said he is in favor of the project and he asked that sidewalk be constructed on certain portico s near Arlington. Reverend Amos Brown, Pastor of the Pilgrim Baptist Church, read a letter of the owner of property at 1625 Virginia Ave. in opposition to the improvement. He said their parsonage is at 1635 Virginia"and he agreed that the parkway is in terrible condition but he is concerned about financing. He referred to the parsonage and other homes fronting on Virginia that will have to pay an assessment. Mr. Bredahl explained the reason for the assessment to properties on Virginia Ave. The Clerk reported that Mr. Ted Bies called the office of the City Clerk and on behalf of himself, Mike Ettel and others who could not be present, requested a lay -over. - Ed Andert said he owns property at Arlington and Wheelock and the parkway needs i.mprovement.and he did not think the assessment was too great. At the question of Mr. Andert, Mr. Thompson said they would hope the improvement would,,, last 20.years. Mr. Andert also referred to a possible drainage problem with his driveway and Mr. Thompson assured him there would be no problem. Comsr. Conway moved approval of the order. Motion carried.

Commissioner Meredith said he would like to present a resolution dealing with the Police and Firemen's Relief Association. He told the Council the State Legislature set up a full funding of the entire program and -it has set a burden on the communities that are not ready for it, and a plan has been set up to extend the funding 'to over about 50 years, and he thinks the Council should recommend it. He said the Council is not passing anything, but merely endorsing the principles. ~ \ The following resolution was submitted. C. F. 257379. / Resolution endorsing the principles outlined -in the alternate plan developed by Hewitt and Associates pertaining to the Police and Firemen's Relief Assn. Guidelines Act of 1969, which will stabilize costs.for present and.future taxpayers over a 50 -year period with a resulting reduction of 33 per cent in the tax levy, as compared to the 1969 Guidelines Act, and urging that the Legislature Retirement Study Commission give favorable con= sideration of said plan which will be presented on Feb. 14th. and 15th. Yeas=` 6 Nays - 0 Adopted. Commissioner Butler said that, as the Council probably knows, there is a .,Charter designat4n for a Committee on Lands, and there is no ordinance which sets forth the membership. She continued that in 1968 the Land Committee was designated by then Mayor Byrne. She set forth the rules of the membership pursuant to the designatory letter of then Mayor Byrne. An independent member was to be named a Chairman. She said she 'got to be .Chairman of :the Land Committee because, as Commissioner of Finance, the Valuation Bureau is under her jurisdiction, and she is the independent member now alluded to in Mr. Byrne's letter. Mayor McCarty remarked that the Committee Commissioner Butler is referring to would appear to be superfluous, inasmuch as the only transactions involving real estate are two -fold, either the acquisition or the sale. The disposal of real estate has been set forth in the Charter, and a Committee already exists for the other function. Commissioner But-ler continued, she does not know if Commissioner Sprafka is still on the Committee, but Mr. Gerald Isaacs has been coming to the meetings and voting, but he is not a member and the solution is to put Commissioner Sprafka and Mr. Isaacs on it. Commissioner Sprafka said he thinks that what has happened is that Com- missioner Tedesco (Mayor Byrne's appointment) resigned his position and that is how he (Commissioner Sprafka) got on the Committee. Mayor McCarty read an ordinance relating to the matter and setting forth the procedures for the disposal of, property. (Said ordinance is not a part"of this"meeting except by reference.) He said it would seem to him the proper thing to do would be to abolish the Committee and there is no need for another Committee. Commissioner`Butler disagreed and said it is more of an Advisory Committee. She said at one meeting there were about 25 interested people and the Committee has.a method of putting things together before the City gets to the point of acquiring and disposing of property. She said she would be reluctant to abolish the Committee on Lands because it is a way of getting everyone to be heard. i e February 11, 1972 ° C. F. 257380. Resolution authorizing the proper City officers to make payment on and renew Policy No. 1ST -8045182, in the amount of $8,632.00, as annual premium for the year 1973 to cover fire, extended coverage, vandalism and malicious mischief insurance coverage for the Civic Center, and directing the City Architect to conduct an inspection of the premises , and submit a report on same to the Health and Welfare>and Insurance Committee for their consideration. Yeas - 6 Nays - 0 Adopted. Commissioner Butler asked if the City were taking over the program normally paid by the Civic Center Authority. Mayor McCarty said he might point out that it is nothing more than a matter of bookkeeping, and that the Civic Center can be considered an arm of the City, and the City really controls the operation.` Commissioner Butler said this might not necessarily be so, be of the five members of the Civic Center. She was assured the effect of this resolution was temporary in the light of the current deficit status of the Civic Center. \ Commissioner Conway read a prepared statement which is a part of this file / prior to the submission of the following resolution. \\,C. F. 257381. Resolution aces ting and concurring in the recommendation of the Fact. Finding Commit that the Department of Public Works be authorized to enter into a retal agreement with the owner of the Lowry Hotel for the rental of the e tire second floor of said Hotel at .a basic rental price of $4.00 per sq ft., and appointing the Mayor, Commissioner of Public Works, Commissioner of Finance and the City Comptroller as a committee which is empoweied and authorized to negotiate with the owner of the Hotel the remainrms of the rental agreement which shall include, but not be limited to, the determination of the extent of remodeling of said space to meet the Department's needs, and that the said committee shall within ten days present to the Council a proposed rental agreement embodying P11 terms and cc nditions for the Council's.consideration. Mayor McCarty sd this resolution is presented to the Council for the purpose of the appointment of the Committee authorizing negotiations as to the feasibility of remodeling of a portion of, -the --Lowry Hotel for office space for the Department of Public Works. He said it will be the judgment of this Council;to make a determination of what is needed for the Depart ment of Public Works to properly conduct its work. Commissioner Butler noted the ten day proviso of the report to the Council, and said that unless some planning work has been done can ten days cover the preparations, and she asked if the Building Department has come.up with some tentative plans. Commissioner Conway said the Public Works has come up with some -tentative plans as to how the Hotel can be remodeled. Mayor McCarty said all the Committee is'authorized to do is to negotiate and bring back to this Body the facts for its consideration. Commissioner Levine said he has not been involved in the discussions with the Public Works as to what !course the Lowry Hotel should take, but it seems to him the Council should have a commitment from the Hotel peopled to make this into a hotel -and he thinks the Council is going into it reverse. He said he noticed that to accommodate the City some changes have been made, but he asked what has been done -to accommodate it as a hotel. .He` continued, it seems to him the owner of the Hotel is looking to the Cbuncil for a commitment to take over one-half of the Hotel and make it an office building and not a hotel. This in spite of the fact Mr. ,Short said it is just a matter of time for a skyway, but at this point he (Commissioner Levine) does not see that this is going to be a hotel, and he continued maybe it.will not be a hotel at all but an'.office building. He said the' City is being asked to take over one floor. Pretty soon it will be another and another, and it will be an office building, and it seems to,him that we should not commit City funds at this time and we will have an office building. He said he -does not know how you can have a hotel without a ballroom for conventions. Commissioner Conway said he cannot speak for Mr. Short, but the -Public Works Department is crowded for space. Commissioner Levine said the point is we should not commit ourselves now and forget the long range. He said he might suggest that Mr. Short give the Council a commitment first that he will have a Motel, and his (Com- missioner Levine's) point is it will not be a hotel much longer. Commissioner Conway said he thinks Mr. Short has plans to operate the Lowry as a hotel. Commissioner Levine said he would feel a lot better if the people see some extensive repairs being done. (Continued on reverse side.) F' V 50450. February ll, 1972 C. F. 257381 continued from reverse side. Mayor McCarty said the Lowry Hotel as.a hotel facility is no longer' / considered as a first class hotel. He continued, we are building a Civic Center for some $20,000,,000.00 and the-continuance of the Lowry as an overflow facility during the construction. He said the only-thing for this Council to do is for this Committee to consider the requirements. of the Public Works Department, and all this resolution is doing is authorizing the Committee to enter into negotiations. Commissioner Levine said he is glad Mayor McCarty said it was not a first class hotel, but as long as the Mayor said it he'(Commissioner Levine) remembers sitting with Mr. Short with all the diagrams and the statements that this would be a first class operation that would- revitalize the Loop. He continued he has not seen a commitment from the Hotel. When reminded by Mayor McCarty that Commissioner Levine was responsible for the blocking of the sale.of the Lowry Hotel to the City for office space, Commissioner, Levine replied that he does remember engineering the blocking of the sale, and his objection at that time was that the Council did not have enough information to make an intelligent decision. He continued that what he is saying is the Council should not look into the immediate use but the long range com- mitment. He said he will not support the.resohution because it indicates what the City will do first and then it would be remodeled as a hotel. Commissioner Conway said a Fact Finding"Committee was appointed 'some time ago and the engineers have looked at the other available buildings, and , he enquired what is the use of having these committees'if the Council is not going to follow the recommendations. Commissioner Levine said he thinks the Committee was a,good idea and if it were not for that we would not know that the Hotel was doing some remodeling, but for office space. He said he will not,support the reso- lution and the Council can do what-it wants but he will not support it, unless ore get a commitment first that the property will be remodeled first as a hotel. Commissioner Butler said that Commissioner Levine can be assured that as a member of the Committee she will be interested in every step of the negotiations. Commissioner Levine said-he is voting against the approach and this resolution is approving the Committee to get this thing further down the road. He said somewhere he would like to see a commitment. He continued let us leave it at that, you get your committee, let us leave it at that. Roll call on the resolution. Yeas - 5 - Comsrs. Butler, Conway, Meredith,"Sprafka, Mr. Pres. McCarty.

He said that if he were goi ng to lend someone a house he would want a commitment as to what was going to be put in it. He then proceeded to remark on the financial arrange- ments surrounding the Hotel purchase. Mayor McCarty said the Committee reviewed all kinds of.proposals from all kinds of people"and this is the recommendation this Council makes, and pursuant to that recommendation another Committee has,been named. Richard Richie said he heard the resolution and he thinks the needs of the Department are legitimate, and he does not think enough planning has been done for the future. He said perhaps the City was among in not \ buying the Hotel, rather than renting space all over toam. C.

John Daubney, representing the Knutson Development Co., appeared to request informal approval of a 260 -car parking lot applicationon the east side of Ruth between Burns and North Park Drive. _ Mr. Daubney reviewed the rezoning of the area and also the land trans- fers which have taken place. He referred to a portion of the northerly part of the property which will be taken for the widening of Burns Ave.. and he said their application has been reduced to 260 -cars in order that they may proceed with the town house development in the central portion of the property. He said the proposal provides 4 parking,!, spaces for each unit and legal questions about town houses have been answered by the Corporation Counsel. He said,they have met with representatives of the Traffic Dept., -the Fire Dept. and the Public Works Dept. and agree to their recommendations. He said the multiple apartment building will be restricted to 3 stories on the northerly part of the property near Burns Ave. He said they are willing to donate the 20 -ft. strip needed for the widening of Burns Ave. andai ° agree not to develop the remaining 65 ft. of -the northerly portio]t of the property along Burns Ave. Comsr. Tedesco asked about the background of the rezoning and the; amount'of compensation involved in the land transfers and Mr. Presi- dent McCarty said the matter before the Council is a parking lot application and the property is properly zoned for this project. Comsr. Tedesco said more information should be received from interested parties and the School District and he thinks the land was originally zoned for use by elderly people. Comsr. Tedesco said the area will be too congested and is across the street from a school. Mr. President McCarty said this results in about 82 units an acre which is a low density project. Comsr. Butler said the project looks like an excellent one but she is concerned that the public hearing has not yet been held. At the question of Comsr. Butler, Mr. Daubney explained the reason for the 260 -car parking lot for 64 units and said they do not intend to use this parking lot in connection with the mid -rise buildings.' Mr. President McCarty asked if the 260 -car parking lotwasonly for use in connection with the 64 town house units and Mr. Daubney said they agree to that. Comsr. Butler asked if the parking for the mid -rise buildings will be 4 to 1 and Mr. Daubney reported that the parking ratio,will be 2 to 1. Comsr. Conway moved that the application for a 260 -car parking lot be informally approved. During.the roll call, Comsr. Levine said it sounds like a good, project but he is not convinced that informal approval is exercising good judgment and he does not know at this time what problems might develop. He voted NO on the motion. During the roll call, Comsr. Tedesco said it will create a congested area and he is therefore voting NO. During the roll call, Comsr. Butler said she might vote in favor of the project at the public hearing but informal approval is not fair to.the people who will be notified of the hearing. She voted NO on the motion.

Commissioner Tedesco said we should hear from other agencies on space in the downtown area. Commissioner Levine said we should set up a long range and short range plan for the needs of space. Mayor McCarty said the Manpower Planning Agency administers the P.E.P. Program, and he referred to the need for additional personnel to handle this program. Commissioner Butler said Mayor McCarty has been running a one-man show and the Council does not want to be a rubber stamp, and he should have consulted the Council before moving out these offices. She also referred to arbitrary hiring by Mr. Adamson and the Mayor. Mayor McCarty explained the P.E.P. program and said `employes must come through the State Manpower Services Department and Civil Service Dept., and he and Mr. Adamson did not hire anyone arbitrarily. He also explained that the five employes Commissioner Butler referred to were not hired \ by the Management Committee but assigned to that Committee. \ Commissioner Tedesco said the Justice -Advisory Commission is not a big Department and it could easily be moved to another building, and he referred to space available in the Commerce Building. Mayor McCarty explained the creation of the Criminal Justice Advisory Commission and said that Commission approved the move to the Lowry.

He said at one time they did not exist legally. He said.staff and money was available but we needed an emergency ordinance to create titles. He referred to a crash pfbgram to set up the work of the Commission and he said he looked for office space at not over $4.00 per foot with close prox- imity to the Court House. He said he personally negotiated with Mr. Short and the Council at that time could not act officially because the Commission did not officially exist as a unit of govern- ment. He asked the Council to support his actions yhich he.took in good faith. Comsr. Tedesco asked if the Commerce Bldg, was checked out and Comsr. . Butler asked about space on the 9th floor. Mr. President McCarty said the City Hall and Court House Commission has assigned space in the Court House on a priority basis. Comsr. Levine said the Lowry matter has continued for over a year and one-half and we still don't have long-range plans for space. He said eventually we will not have the hotel. t Mr. Sturner said a change could be made at the expiration of the 1 -yr. lease but there is considerable work to be done and the Commission was pleased with the move to the Lowry. Comsr. Meredith said in the early stage of the Commission, there was an area of confusion and urgency. Comsr. Levine asked Mr. Sturner if he had checked on the Court House space, and Mr. President McCarty replied that the City Hall and Court House Committee has.Jurisdiction over space in the Court House. Comsr. Butler said she would not have voted to move out the Education Dept. if she would have known it was going to be vacant for a long period of time. Comsr. Butler asked who gave the authority to move the Manpower Plan- ning Program offices out of the Court House.

He urged action by the Mayor and City Council to remedy this problem and made several suggestions. Mayor McCarty said he recognizes the validity of the statements and (Continued on reverse side.) 50488 ✓ February 25, 1972 (Discussion on abandoned homes in the Summit -University area continued from reverse side.) recognizes the need for standard housing. He said the Housing Authority has indicated a policy in connection with the condemnation of publicly owned vacant homes, and private owned structures must follow the City procedure and State Laws. There was further discussion between Mr. Borom and Mayor McCarty concerning Hazardous buildings and the record.systems of housing in the Summit -University area. Mr. Ellis of the Urban League'said abandoned homes does not necessarily mean vacant, and he said the Council needs a new policy on housing. Mr. Ames, City_ Architect, said the Building Department would appreciate a list of abandoned homes from the Urban League. Mayor McCarty said the Council could solve the housing in the Summit University area. He said they have not taken the initiative because they are allowing programs to start in the community because we have an MNPC and NDP. He said he would like.good homes in the area, but we must have agreement with citizen groups. He said we have the ground, money, and desire to construct single family homes. Mr. Robert Hickman, Chairman of the MNPC, appeared and reviewed previous action of the MNPC concerning the Community Health Clinic. He said it was finally determined that the Ramsey Action Program uogram could best admi- nister the program and he asked decision of the -Cc ncil to rescind previous action. Robert Calhoun of the Citizens' Advisory Group said they favor RAP to administer the Health Program. Ruth Benner explained the method of determining the scope of services of the Health Clinic. She said RAP has served well and should be retained to administer the program. Charles Poe, Director of RAP, said they contributed $40,000.00 to the Health Clinic Program, and the Bureau of Health also supplied some funding. He suggested that RAP be considered to administer all MNPC programs, and he said they must buy services for the Health program just as the Health Department would. Stan Williams said he believes that RAP would be the preferred agey to administer the program. Rev. McIntosh also urged that RAP administer the program. Mr. Eberhart, Deputy Health Director, referred to a letter of Dr. Mears referring to the problems of the Health program, and said they feel the Bureau of Health could not participate. Mr. Poe. read a letter challenging the remarks of Dr. Mears. Mr. Borom referred to the inability of the Bureau of Health to meet the needs of the people in the Summit -University area, and to the inadequacy of Dr. Mears to recognize the needs of the people in the area. Mr. Hickman also referred to problems with the Health Department and urged that RAP be approved to administer the program. Later in the meeting, Mr. Poe and Mr. Williams asked when the Council would consider the matter. Mayor McCarty said the Council needs information and must discuss the matter in order to make an intelligent decision. He said a decision would be made no later than one week from next Tuesday. Mr. Williams asked to be notified if there are any questions about the program. He said his address is 1047 Fuller, and his business phone at the University of Minnesota Hospital is 373 - 8961. Mr. Hickman referred to four travel claims for Model Cities people to Washington, D. C., February 28th., to attend a Housing Seminar. Mayor McCarty said he had not reviewed the claims prior to the meeting, and doesn't know all the facts involved. Commissioner Levine urged consideration today because of the day and time.. Mayor McCarty said we could get a determination today. Rev. Pilate said he would get the necessary information to each Councilman,. Mayor McCarty said the Council will be in recess and can be called to order when the information is available. The Council meeting was recessed at 12:00 P.

He said, inreadingthe information, he notes that applications for the Seminar should have been made by January 7, 1972, and that there are other entrance requirements. He said the MC did not approve the matter until some time in"February and, therefore, it would be impossible for anyone to attend the . meetings. Commissioner Levine said we could approve the travel subject to being accepted for admission. Mayor McCarty said the question is moot by the presence of the facts. Mayor McCarty referred to Council action authorizing a committee„ consisting -of the Mayor, Commissioner of Public Works and Comptroller, to meet concerning the remodeling and rental of the Lowry Hotel for the Public Works Department. He said the Committee met and an agree- ment has been reached and the Committee recommends approval of the following resolution. Resolution authorizing a lease with the owners of the Lowry Hotel building for space on the second floor for the Dept. of ,Public Works. at the rental rate of $4.40 per.square foot, and an additional amount of $1.10 per square foot for the first five years of the lease to defray the cost of remodeling. Mayor McCarty pointed out that the bar and restaurant of the Hotel will open shortly. Commissioner -Meredith referred to Councilmen who objected -to the approval of a lease for the -Criminal Justice Commission, and questioned why they would vote for this resolution when they opposed rental at $4.00 a foot including remodeling. Commissioner Levine asked how many square feet are involved, and what is the doilar•figure, and Mayor McCarty said about 16,000 square feet. t feasibility, Commissioner Conway referred to the Engineering Dep)No studies.

He said he thinks in 1963 the Council made a bad decision in rezoning the property, and the citizens did not have a voice in the rezoning. Mayor McCarty explained that notices of hearing -are required'and because the property affected is privately owned that the Council.must make a finding in order to disallow the permit to the effect that it would be a detriment to the public health, welfare and safety. He said if they make such a finding the permit could be legally denied. He suggested that the Council should consider acquisition for an open space program oy'for use by the Housing Authority for a high-rise building for the elderly. CommissioneF Tedesco said he would not object to a high-rise building for the elderly. He also said the City should provide some legal service to neighborhoods similar to a public defender. Mayor McCarty said the public defender system is under the jurisdiction of the court, and the City Council has no jurisdiction. Commissioner Tedesco also suggested that the rule for notices of hearing be changed and they be mailed out to individuals 500 feet from the .affected property. The meeting was thereupon recessed.

' A letter of the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners was read urging that the City Council take similar action to theirs of March 6th in requesting a review of material and supply contracts to determine whether any of them fall into an area which would make them suspectible to an overdrawn account. Comsr. Conway.said this matter probably came about because of charges made that the Public Works Dept. was not receiving the correct amount. of fill material at the landfill site, and he said•this:is now under investigation, \ Mr. President McCarty said under the Charter, there is no basis to \ overdraw an account and the Comptroller enforces this provision. The letter was filed. A resolution of the County Board,4ated Mar. 6, 1972, was read pertaining to the establishment of"a solid waste transfer station at tYe fish hatchery site.

He read the resolution authorizing an agreement with the State of Minnesota for the leasing of certain property described as the Fish Hatchery Landfill for the purpose of o the Dept. of Parks and Recreation using the land for a nature study and limited"recreation site. Mr. President McCarty said the transfer site would be best at the Pig's Eye site and the Fish Hatchery Site could be used for recreational purposes. Comsr. Tedesco read a statement urging that consideration of the Fish Hatchery Site be laid over. Comsr. Conway said he is charged with the responsibility of establishing a transfer station and if it is not established by this summer, there will be problems. He referred to a committee that made a recommendation to establish a transfer station at the Fish Hatchery site. Gary Norstrem, Deputy Comsr. of Public Works, said Park Dept.. officials would object to the Fish Hatchery, location. He said the site,r ended ` is only a portion of the total Fish Hatchery site and there axe many factors that were considered, including the cost to private haulers. Comsr. Tedesco moved that the resolution authorizing a lease with the State of Minnesota be laid over for 2 weeks. Comsr.

Mr. President McCarty said Mr. Radman of .the Labor movement is involved and supports the program, Mr. Borom of the Urban League said'they don't object to the designation of CDC as the appointed body but he said they have not seen the proposal and have certain concerns -about several items. Mr. Hickman of the MNPC said he had just been notified of the 'issue today. He said he does"not disagree with the project but --he urged that the matter be laid over until the MNPC can be fully informed. Mr. President McCarty said this application is for a City-wide program and it is necessary that.it be forwarded to HUD. - At the question of Comsr. Tedesco, Mr. Musser said about one-third of their Board members are from minority groups.

FINAL ORDER { / In the matter ofrovin Fairview Ave. from Minnehaha Ave. to Pierce � g Butler Road (City Project P-0345), under P. 0. 255847, approved Sept. 28, 1971. Commissioner Conway said the only point'he would like to bring up is that for the past several months the Council has rejected several street improve- ments. He showed a picture of, among others, the George Street improvement which was rejected by the Council. Mayor McCarty said that it would appear that all but $14,700 is to be paid from public moneys. Commissioner Conway said another thing is that he and Mr. Schnarr looked at Fairview Avenue the other morning and there is a great amount of traffic. We could possibly have as a compromise the prohibition of truck traffic west from Minnehaha. Merrill Robinson, 787 N. Fairview Avenue, submitted a petition in excess of 100 names who oppose the improvement. He said the petition has been. ' signed by some 125. qualified voters, including almost the entire number of property owners on Fairview and abutting Fairview. He continued, as the Council knows, he has been here many times in support of the preservation of neighborhoods and as a spokesman he has suggested we need to take a long range look at the desirability of preserving the neighborhood for our children to live in. He showed a map of the proposed area improvement. He said he does not think the voters of Saint Paul should be asked to make sacrifices for the convenience of traffic,,and he suggested that being as we have so many squad cars a car be placed at Minnehaha and Fairview, and at Prior and Pierce Butler Road to discourage the illegal truck traffic. He said all things considered the important thing is the safety of the children and the retention of this neighborhood as a place to live. Mayor McCarty said what this Council is considering is whether or not to make a public improvement. He noted that $94,000 is from MSA funds, and that 12% would be charged to the abutting property owners. He said the first question he would refer to the Council is.the condition of the existing street: Much of the street is without curb and sidewalk and this is not proper for a residential neighborhood. He said the street must, at some point, be improved to look at the pictures of Minnehaha, and to not fix' Minnehaha is a criminal act in his judgment. He continued, the problem of traffic can be fixed by the Council at some later point. Mr. Robinson said he cannot see that posting any more signs will correct the situation. He continued, the surf -ace of Fairview is not that bad but there are potholes. He suggested the Council take a trip south on Lexington from Summit to Grand and said they.will notice many potholes so this street is not in that bad condition. He said it does seem to all who have signed the petition that this -is an unwarranted expenditure of public funds. Mr. Nelson, at the question of Mr. Robinson, said he thinks the condition of the street today is due to the slackness of the City itself, and he. commented on the fact the Telephone Company worked in the area a few years back and the street has never been fixed up. Mr. Robinson -called upon Mr. Roy Baudette who said his biggest gripe is the hot rodders whose tires squeal all night and the noise makes it impos- sible to sleep.. Mr. Robinson called upon Maynard Johnson who said he cannot see why Fairview (Continued on reverse side.) j 59540. March 21, 1972• ✓ - inal Order for improvemeht of Fairview.

SS j Letter of Robert E. Faricy was read re: Lease of Old Fire Station No. 24 to East Metropolitan Day Activity Center Council, Inc. The letter was critical of the fact that no lease for the subject property had been prepared, and that as a result of the four-month delay the programs for the mentally retarded persons were delayed with a loss of four months' funding. The letter described the bursting of pipes causing considerable water damage to the building, and the authorization for repairs by EMDACC, the lessee. Mr. Faricy stated that, contrary to Paragraph 8 of his letter which indicated a possibility of claims being presented to the City, he wished to assure the Council there is no intention to pursue the claim matter because there is no reason to feel that his client can strengthen their position by a claim, and their main intention is to have the lease renewed. Commissioner Meredith said he would like to know why there was a four month delay. Mr. Faxicy replied that, in actual fact, they have never assumed possession of the building, but by virtue of paying the water damages possession can be presumed. Mayor McCarty asked Mr. Faricy if, in exchange for the lease agreement, he would agree to give the City a release in the matter of the damages. Mr. Faricy directed the question to one of the members of the Board of Directors of EMDACC present in the Council who gave assurances that this arrangement would be satisfactory. It was thereupon ordered that the lease agreement be effected. Letter of the License Inspector transmitting the application of Norman P. Becker, 3006 Edgerton St., for Vehicle Peddler License.

F. Eisenmengers Second Addition, was read. The Zoning Board letter indicated the City 'lackt jurisdiction in \ the matter, and the City Clerk's office was ordered the file be closed,. Cover letter of Commissioner Tedesco was read explaining an accompanying resolution which asked for the creation of anew position of Zoning Expert, for the express purpose of giving aid to citizens in matters of rezoning. Mayor McCarty said that from hearing what has just been read, there is now available a person who is available to provide°this service and the City has such a person in the person of City Planner'' Commissioner Tedesco said he was at the Board of Zoning meeting last Friday and it was like pulling teeth to get information, and he thinks there should be someone in the building apart from the Zoning Board. Commissioner Meredith said he would think the resolution is a bit prema- ture because of the necessary resolution of the problem of governmental reorganization. The letter and resolution were then given to Commissioner Tedesco. INTERMEDIARY ORDERS The Clerk noted several�Intermediary Orders which set dates of public hearings for public improvements. ° Mayor McCarty said he feels the Council should make a decision as to what direction it";is going in the matter of public improvements, because these resolutions will involve publication costs and the Council has heard from the Commissioner of Public Works that he will not move for approval of any public improvement Orders. He continued that, further, the Commissioner of Public Works should be told by the;Council what he is going to do as regards the work force and the,Design Sections of the Public Works Department. Commissioner Conway said he would just as soon drop the whole thing, if he,cannot have assurance by the Council of its approval of improvement . orders. Mayor McCarty asked what is to happen as regards the staffing of the Design Section. Mr. Schnarr said that in Saint Paul there are about 500 or 600 miles of streets which have never been maintained, and the work, cannot be done because of budget limitations. Commissioner Conway said the City has lost approximately $500;000 in street aid moneys. Mr. Schnarr said if a new system of assessments is needed, the,City should get that kind of assessment. Mayor McCarty asked what effect this will have on the Design and Engi- neering Section of the Public Works Department. Mr. Schnarr replied that it will have a distinct effect because there would be just the sewer matters that would go through the Council. Mayor McCarty asked what will the Council do if the Commissioner refuses to bring in any Public Works Orders: Mr. Schnarr said this year the City lost almost $40,000 because of this kind of action, and he said if this is to be a continuing situation Saint Paul will not get as much moneys from State Aids as it has in the past. Mayor McCarty said that if the Commissioner of Public Works does not L bring in improvement orders there will be a lot of people out of a job. Mr. Schnarr said the Department does not bring in any improvements that do not need to be done, and he said he may not=agree with the assessment but if that is the problem the -City should change it. Commissioner Conway said he knows.that there is a traffic increase due to street inprovements, that he -remembers when Cretin was a nice, quiet street, but the fact is that .those. people have to' go to work and they would only have to use another street. Mayor McCarty asked once again what the Department is going to do with the people who have no work: Are they going to lay them off?. (Continued on following page.) An March 21, 1972 505+5. / (Discussion on Intermediary Orders for public improvements continued from previous page.) Commissioner Conway said he guesses so unless he can get some assurance - from this Council that they will pass some of these Orders. He said it looks great to have all these people come before the Council and protest, and that he also would like to have all these people as his friends° Mayor McCarty asked what is the pleasure of the Council? Commissioner Sprafka said he thinks the Council should search out some method where the Public Works can come to the Council and convince all of us unanimously that the project is necessary and is in the public interest. He concluded by saying he is getting tired of the situation where political games are being played. ' Commissioner Meredith said he agrees with Commissioner Conway's position. Mr. Schnarr said that on the Fairview job slides were shown to the Council at the time of the Preliminary Order, and at that time there was total agreement. He continued, the Department does need direction from this Council. Commissioner Sprafka asked if it would be appropriate to ask for recon- sideration. The possibility of reconsidering the Final Order, with a notice being carried in the paper of such an action and the notation that the matter would be reconsidered at the following day's meeting, was discussed and discarded. Commissioner Meredith said he thinks in the case of Minnehaha which he travels quite a -bit the members of the Council should drive down the street and see what the condition is. Mayor McCarty said he thinks the suggestion made that the Council act unanimously on matters of public improvements, and avoid the subject of playing politics, is meritorious. Commissioner Levine said he does not feel that a guarantee of unanimity can be made. Mayor McCarty replied that in the matters of public improvements all the Council has to do is evaluate the given facts. Commissioner Sprafka asked why not lay the Intermediary Orders over? Mayor McCarty said if there is any member of the Council that wants to indicate they do not agree with the judgment of the Department that this improvement is needed, and that what is needed is a determination that this is a good or bad order and that the improvement is needed or not needed. The Intermediary Ordersweregiven back to CommissionerConway Letter of John E. Daubney, attorney re: Knutson Development Company development at the southeast corner of Burns and Ruth Streets, was read asking for a continuance of the scheduled hearing -6n March 23rd. for the reasons set forth: 1. The hearing notice did not take into con- sideration an mended application for but 260 cars, but rather the_full development of over 1,000.cars, and the question of the notice's validity presents itself. 2. The legal question of the utilization of a private roadway across a strip of "A" Residence zoned land so as to gain access from a "C" Residence development to a public street, was also presented and; 3. a townhouse development on July 2$, 1966 received approval of its off-street parking facilities without approval of the Council, on the basis that each townhouse -unit, in fact, hadits- own tsown off-street parking facilities and did not fall. within the provisions of Ordinance 60.23 which requires Council approval of parking lots with a capacity of over 30 vehicles. Mr. Daubney said the question he is presenting to the Council is that in 1966 circular townhouses were built at the northwest corner of North Park Drive and McKnight Road which contained 12 townhouses, and that using that type of application in 1966 it was determined a public hearing should not be held and they i.e. the Planning Board ruled each townhouse: had its cvm parking so there wa no parking application for over 30 vehicles. He said this is a question the City Attorney should rule"on i.e., if there is no parking lot of over 30 vehicles that this is a fact situation. Mr. Daubney then showed a map of the area and explained. Point 2 in particular. He noted that Mr. Segal, Special Asst., Corporation ,Counsel, said un fficially that the hearing notices for the March 23rd. hearing are valid but he continued he feels certain that at this point Mr. Segal meant s comment to be purely informal. Mr. Segal said th notices have been sent out and he does not think it would be proper tocancelthe hearing* (Continued on reverse side.) 50546. ✓ �- March 21, 1972 i (Discussion on John Daubney's letter re: Knutson Development Company development at the southeast corner of Burns and Ruth Streets, continued from reverse side.) Mayor McCarty said the reasons for the hearing are for input and it is not absolutely vital that a Council decision be reached at the time of the hearing, and the hearing's prime objective is to receive input. It was generally agreed that pursuant to Mr. Daubney's request on the legal problems presented in his letter that no decision by the Council be reached until the City Attorney made its rulings. Commissioner Tedesco suggested a P. M. meeting for the Council decision. Commissioner Tedesco said he would like to see the hearing remain on the 23rd. because all the people in the area are prepared for it, and he said he thinks the meeting should go on on the 23rd. Mr. Daubney said'his client has no objection to the people coming down for the hearing, and the Council can hear them, but he does not think it should make a decision without a ruling from the City Attorney. Mayor:McCarty ordered that the City Attorney be instructed to inform the Council as to what the Council's legal position is as to whether any legal permits axe needed, and any other questions which are raised by the letter as soon as possible. Mr. Curnow, A -N. Ruth, said he lives on Ruth and pointed out the already serious traffic problems which would be magnetized by any large apartments. Mr. Daubney said they are not asking for a zoning permit; all they are asking for are some t(nmhouses. ices will be sent out now that a vote on final Mayor McCarty said not disposition of the matter will be taken on April 6th., and the meeting will be held at 7.30 P. M., which will be a continuation of the March 23rd. meeting. Commissioner Tedesco made a motion implementing the Mayor's statement. Yeas - 6 Nays - 0 Motion carried.

City, one is received 322 and the claim is $90.00 for hitting a chuck hole on Mt.

He then gave the Clerk a resolution for an alley improvement wherein all the neighbors were Preliminary fa0o . He continued that on 928 the Council approved er on Fairview Ave.; Comsr. Meredith was not here at that time, and it was approved at 32 ft. and this had involved considerable engineering ` costs.said Walter�Hurtley, in answer to a question by Mr. President McCarty, the engineering costs are dependent on the project. He said most of v these projects have design costs so for a $10a,000of tprojecthe , to probth tamuch have in the neighborhood between 6 and 8%, is in design and survey work so we have a lot of money. Mr. ,President McCarty said in a case like this, we have about $12,000 that will go down the drain. i Comsr. Conway said $482,000 in projects were lost last year and 10% of that amount involved a loss of engineering costs; $430,000 would have gone to the contractor.

He continued that in the matter of assessments, he is trying to make some effort to make this more attractive with'the people; he has set up 2 meetings to try to make this more attractive as far as the assessments are concerned, and so if someone wants to move for reconsideration of the order yesterday, it is up toth4em. Mr. President McCarty said the dilemma we are faced with is where everyone on the Council was of the opinion that this work has to be done but there are some who feel it is more important to play to the gallery. He con- tinued that last year we had a stupid game going on with 3 members of the °Council who would not support Public Works projects; yesterday we had a handful of people who protested a work which by every intelli- gent reasoning should have been done. Mr. President McCarty said the burden falls on Comsrs. Levine and Tedesco to move for recon sideration and if they do not act, there will be a magnification of the problem. He then explained that this attitude would have a direct bearing on the amount of work the City will be doing this year. Comsr. Tedesco noted that Comsrs. Sprafka and Meredith also voted against the improvement and therefore were eligible to ask for reconsideration. He continued that he is not going to do a thing unless one of those gentlemen move to reconsider. Mr. President said he thinks it is important to note. that we have spent $150,000 on engineering costs; he mentioned yesterday that in his honest judgment it is a criminal act to let Minnehaha not be fixed. The question is, "Do we face reality today or do we let it fester a little bit?" Richard Richie, 709 Fred St., appeared and said he has not seen more political games played than. this City Council; that he goes back to the salary ordinance of Comsrs. Sprafka and Meredith. He continued and addressed Comsr. Tedesco, saying that Monday he (Tedesco) had a piece in the paper about the creation of a job in zoning. Mr. Richie said he is against the creation of another job. He said he was here 5 months ago on the Westminster hearing and he thought the people did a good job of defending themselves, and they were up against a good attorney, Mr. Joe Summers. He continued that is one reason he is against it; he is against the creation of another job. He concluded. with another matter that he would like to see the dog ordinance strengthened along the lines of the Minneapolis ordinance. The meeting was thereupon adjourned. ATTEST: 50552• MINUTES OF THE COUNCIL 10:00 A. M. March 23, 1972 CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS - CITY HALL & COURT HOUSE Saint Paul, Minnesota The meeting was called to order at 10:10 A. M. by Mr. Vice Pres. Meredith. Present - Comsrs. Conway, Levine, Sprafka, Mr. Vice President Meredith ... 4 Absent - Comsrs. Butler and Tedesco, and Mr. Pres. McCarty...3 Comsr. Butler and Mr. Pres. McCarty were excused. Comsr. Tedesco arrived during a point in the meeting. Reading of the minutes was dispensed with. Hearing was held on the application of the Knutson Development Company for a permit to construct a 260 -car parking facility for a townhouse development on property located on Ruth St. between Burns and North Park Drive, described as Lots 9 through 13, Block 21, Battle Creek Heights', Plat 3. Letter of the Zoning Board was read recommending denial. Commissioner Meredith said there are. a couple of things sshould state t before we start; The attorney brought up some legal questions on Tuesday and the City Attorney said they could not bring in a full report at this time; This morning we will not have a vote, but we do have four members, (COMMISSIONER TEDESCO ARRIVED DURING�THIS STATEMENT) and there was agree - meet that we should hear the matter now and have the votes on April 6th. Commissioner Levine said we thought at the time the time should be for the convenience of the people so the meeting will be. at 7:30. Commissioner Sprafka said I think it should be explained that meeting will be in City Hall and will be for the purposes of a vote and this meeting is to consider input. John Daubney said there will be others to explain.the different phases of the development; first of all I have a zoning map of the City; This map is not up to date but just to show the position of the property yin regard to the rest of the City; The Knutson properties are one-fourth mile south of the Sunray Shopping Center and the same distance from I. S. 94, otherwise known as Highway No.�2; We ask your indulgence to have us complete our presentation and I think we could answer some of your questions in the presentation. He said the area is bounded by North Park Drive, McKnight on the East and Ruth on the Westi Prior to 1963, this property was all tax titled, and prior to that was part of the property of the Workhouse Farm; This was known as the Pig Farm, and it was decided it was illegal to continue this use when the City got into the garbage business; The Pig Farm was platted as single lots; Both areas were sold in 1963 to the Battle Creek Development for $230,000.00, and in 1965 the Battle Creek Development sold 19 acres to the Oblate Fathers for a price something like $450,000.00; The Oblate Fathers sold the current property to Knutson Development for $552,000.00 in December of 1971; Knutson became fee owner of the property; They propose to develop the property as townhouses what they call mid -rises. -He said he asked the Assessor what this would do to the tax base, and for a $15,000,000 project it would be $690,000.00 per year; $473,000.00 per year for a $10,000,000 project. He said the taxes for the single family residences in the area bring in approximately $87,173.00 in tax revenues, and the Battle.Creek development with 36 townhouses would bring in approximately the same amount. He continued, the Knutson people paid $28,502.12 in taxes on the vacant grounds; The Assessor has already valued the property at $112,000.00 more than the Knutson Development paid for it. He said there would be five high rises, the tallest which would be 24 stories; It was mentioned that the only reason the 'City rezoned it was that the Oblate Fathers wanted to con- struct housing for the elderly. He said in this particular case, since we do propose a townhouse development, and if that is true, should we not have applied to us the same ruling that applied to the McKnight Village? (Continued on following page.) MGM 50553 alum March 23, 1972 GEM (Discussion on Knutson Development project continued from,preceding page.) Mr. Daubney read the ordinance and the Minutes of the Zoning Board hearing in 1968 which rules that inasmuch as toomhouses have their own parking facility, the permit was granted as an administrat:4ve ordinance because there was no single contiguous lot in excess of 30 cars. He continued, there is no single area where more than two cars will be parked. He referred to the original application for 1,000 plus cars. He said it was decided that the mid -rises would provoke a certain amount of controversy r so the application was confined to the townhouses, and the application was changed to 266 tarsi the.. Zoning Board said that if the cars were parked on the apron they would prevent getting cars out; we can see the logic to this so we changed the appli- cation to 132 cars, none of which would be on the apron or approach axea, so all we are.asking for this morning is a parking lot for°132 cars. The density we -propose for the townhouses is about the same as is proposed under the Zoning Code for single family homes, about 59000 feet, so the density we propose is not much different than what it is for single family residences. I would like to talk about the taxes. I do not think that people in apartment houses,; -should be treated as second class citizens. Commissioner Tedesco said the people in apartment houses are not second class citizens, but perhaps the developers are. John Daubney said I am not downgrading the Council, but I am saying that some people here imply apartment house dwellers are second class citizens. He said the taxes on North Park Drive are $600.00 and they would be $600.00 for a single townhouse. The fact that the Council did not make -a mistake is shown by the fact that the rezoning in 1963 was passed unanimously; and later another plat was rezoned for what is now known as the Bastille Apartments. He said traffic coming westerly from I. S. 94 _cannot get.off at Ruth nor can traffic going easterly. The present traffic count on Ruth is 6,000 north of Burns and the projection is 12,000; Ruth is a fine, four -lane paved street and is considered a good access; Burns is only open to the Bastille Apartments. I have been advised by the Traffic Department that Burns will probably be improved all the. way to White Bear because of the East -bound traffic from the area; There is going to be, regardless of the project,substantial increase in traffic in the area; Ruth is one of the major traffic arteries on -the East side and this is the Westerly boundary of our property; On the"Northerly area our property is zoned "A" Residence;' Incidentally, when the City platted the property, the City platted the street,.so here we have,another legal question. Mr. Daubney referred to a map and Question 2 of his letter: of Tuesday which' indicated that the Director of Planning stated it is legal to utilize a private roadway across a strip of "A" Residence zoned land so as to gain access from a "C" Residence development to a public street; So there are a great many questions as far as the development is concerned, but as far as the development is concerned the flier that went out.that this is for apartment houses is incorrect. We have not questioned the fact that in the future there will be an apartment house proposal, but this is a sepa- rate matter and will require a separate hearing, and we do not feel that the entire project should come under question at this time,. All we have now is a parking lot application; We do not feel that we should justify the entire project. ` He said under the present density code 800 units could be constructed; The Knutson Development does not propose to con- struct anywhere near that amount; All vie are proposing is the townhouses and the approximate tax revenue will be $1,OOO.00 per year per unit;.;. All the townhouses will be sold to private owners and the apartment pro- jects will be a condominium concept; For the benefit of the students, a condominium is a concept whereby the people can ultimately buy their apartment; They will be in the `$30,000.00 to $35,000.00 price range; The townhouses will be sold for a $40,000.00 price range. We do not think you will get riffraff for that price; We will not tell you at this time who the Knutson people are; They will tell you what they have been doing in the area and in Minneapolis, and an application of this type unless there are some real reasons, and unless there are sufficient problems for the public health, welfare and safety, a project of this type should have no problem; In 1963 the Council passed and took credit for getting this project started; From the standpoint of traffic safety, there are several things that could be done and the City can initiate steps in that direction; One of the things would be the installing of -sidewalks. He said he was there this morning and the kids were totally on sand; - The developer proposes to construct sidewalks;from the standpoint of pedestrian safety, c why could they not put a pedestrian overpass across Battle Creek?; Many of the kids have to walk a quarter of a mile to their homes because of Battle Creek; There could,be a pedestrian crosswalk with (Continued on reverse side.) 50554. March 23, 1972. (Discussion on the Knutson Development project continued from reverse side.) a flasher type device; You would reduce the pedestrian problems that are going to develop in this area. He said one of the things he would like to call to the Council's attention is that the residents chose this area because all the life necessities are in this area, so it is a most attractive living area; The figures we are going to present, 1`2 are not conjured up by our imagination, but they are actual figures based on traffic flow. saying that riffraff is going to Commissioner Tedesco said no one is s live in the building. He said he would like to ask why thestrip to the north was not rezoned. John Daubney said he did not represent the client but his thought is that it was a buffer strip: owned, by Commissioner Tedesco said the reason. is that the lands were own governmental units and the people did not have a 9 voice in this rezoning because they lived outside the 1001 strip. Mr. Daubney said he was not there at the time the property was rezoned; all he knows is that the Council voted unanimously to rezone it; As far. as the people not having a voice, there were petitions of over 200 people, You the Councillare the voice of the people, and the people depend on you to represent their views; This is not a rezoning; All that is here before you is a parking lot application; Incidentally, one of the fliers shows the apartment houses going all the way to Larry Ho Drive. Commissioner Tedesco said of the 200 that signed the petition, were they for or against? Mr. Daubney said "I am not sure but I think Commissioner Tedesco said "I make it a charge that this was done to be, sure the people would not vote on it; it seems so d--- convenient that this strip was left out to be sure thepeoplewould not have a voice in the rezoning." Mr. Daubney said we bought this land in good faith and if the City wants to buy it they can. Mr. Daubney called upon Donald K. McInnes, Director of Housing & Urban Development, for the Knutson Development Company. Mr. McInnes' four-page statement would serve the.basis of his remarks as a part of this,record. Mr. McInnes said my colleague and I are flattered to talk to you about this project; I might add Knutson Development is not only a builder but a developer interested in people; We would like to give you a builder's view of the project, and let you give it considerate judgment of what this project will mean to the con mmity. He showed slides of the'Knutson Development's Gateway Project in Minneapolis. We are trying to show that we have developed some techniques that could be used for the Battle Creek Park. He showed a slide of a birdseye view of the area and said Battle Creek Park is an excellent buffer; Probably the school is one of the handsomest and we are proud to have such an attractive neighbor. He said the single most feature to the Knutson Development is the.preservation of the environmental development. Mr. McInnes then called upon Prof. Thomas Hodnei Prof. Hodne used a combination of notes in conjunction with a series of slides to show the area; and said -we talked to the" various staff people; he then showed the area starting from south of Battle Creek Parkway the County Park to the east; to the south of the south open spaces and the immediate area south of the open spaces, single family residences; to the north there are mixed uses that exist; single families to the west; the Bastille Apartmentsflon Burns and west of Ruth the neighborhood shopping area. He pointed out the area to the west has 125 homes,across the freeway Sunray and the 3M: there is a viable single family development to the south. The area's vehicular pattern on the map shows the primary egress and ingress from 94 are Ruth Street and McKnight; primary would be Ruth and secondly Burns and North Park Drive.. We felt that Burns has a residential character and we pointed out to our client that Burns might have more traffic because it is further to the north and those were the facts of life. We brought in experts on soil and there were no water problems, and 'those studies showed some problems might occur at an 81 to 10t development. Generally, we determined there were no water or soil problems. I As far as the zoning is concerned we could build right up to the setback line a structure of 7 or 8 stories 30' from the setback; We could go as high as 150' or a 20 story building. Our client decided let us do something better than 'stripping the land. %fih of 4 or 5 slides which showed the changes in building p ac&Vs� FesigEs to protect the environmental I quality of the area. He said the connection to the playfield.and athletic field to the north is a potential for this site, and at this point when -we did our research we were told that Ruth would be the major access no matter what was built; At this point Burns, (Continued on following page.) March 23, 1972 50555 (Discussion on the Knutson Development project continued from preceding page.) ` with the information we have, has a 1100 traffic count•9We decided the dish shape of the land seemed to be the more important factor; 38% of our land could be kept open and this is one of our major goals. Commissioner Tedesco said he -is going to ask that as one person speaks a proponent and opponent speaks. General comments were made on the length of the presentations to this point. Mr. Daubney said the procedure that has always be?n followed in this Council is the proponents and then the opponents speak; you cannot expect to approve a parking facility for a $15,000,000 project in fifteen minutes. Mr. McInnes said he would like to relate back to Mr. Hodne's comments; We think the job they do are the kind of job the citizens ase asking the developer to make; there will be 64 townhouses located in two clusters, 24 on the west and 40 easterly; there will be 2 and 3 bedroom 'We units; believe these will be attractive and reasonably priced homes. Mr. McInnes read a statement of Jas. D. Wiley, P..E. of Kirkham Michael, Architects and Engineers, re: design of the site grading plan and the site utilities, water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer. (Mr. Wiley's statement is part of the file.) Commissioner Tedesco said the Public Works could start by running a street between the High School and the Knutson property. He said he would like someone to approach the School Board for the purpose of running a street between the School and Knutson property for the benefit and, safety of the children. d D. D. Wozniak said he .represents Battle Creek"Civic Association, and he is a little confused as he is sure the'City Attorney is confused as a result of the recent Supreme Court case; It will be my request because of the Supreme Court ruling that all persons be sworn in. He then asked the name of the Court Reporter and who employed him. The gentleman gave his name as John D. Pouchnik (Christcphe�'Columbus & Associates), 1401 Preston Lane, Hopkins, an,employee of the Christopher* Columbus reporting service, and: employed by Mr. Daubney and the Knutson Development Company. Mr. Wozniak continued -he feels that zoning is the most important thing the Council can consider and that all of -you running for re-election realize this is the most serious problem facing the people. He said he agrees with Mr. Daubney that we should not argue law before this Council, but this does not mean the Council should not know the legal problem. He stressed the Knutson Development Company is indeed a fine firm. He said many times the Courts have told many individuals that you must be aware of what is around you; that just because a man has a "C" Residence zoning does not mean he has a vested right to do what he wants in_that zoning; In the Red Barn case, the Court said that a use can be turned down if it is detrimental to the public health, welfare and safety. He commented on Point -1 of Mr. Daubney's letter dated March 20th. re: hearing notices, and said we agree the notice was in error, but the point is not essential to the case; whether or not we could build an access road across "A" Residence property, (Point 2 of the Daubney letter.); We suppose the City Attorney can research the question; it is our opinion that this Council can regulate traffic however it might. He said he had been told there are 18 plus acres of vacant land; this is not true, there are five lots and under the Ramsey County platting law they should have been platted by the Knutson Development Company; they have not done so; the Zoning Board acted in error; they were talking in terms of a little parking lot when what was at stake was the platting of land; We talk about rights but then we really kind of equate rights -and the Supreme Court says you have the right to deny the use if the immediate area is to be affected detrimentally; After all the home owner has some rights. He listed the freedoms the home owner has, including the freedom of freeing themselves from noise, pollution, encroachments that might depreciate their property and anything that destroys the property's desirabilities. Mr. Wozniak then read the Supreme Court -decision in the Morgan Avenue, better known as the O'Brien case, which cited that under the circumstances listed in the ruling apartment houses which, in a different environment, would be not only entirely unobjectionable but highly desirable, come very near to being nuisances. Mr. Wozniak continued this can happen in Battle Creek. He said Commissioner Tedesco has a very important point, and it comes down to the responsibility of the Council as representatives of the City government; There is no doubt that the residents weredeprived of their rights; We have anticipated John Daubney's testimony and we are prepared to present witnesses who will give us what are some sordid details (Continued on reverse side.) 9 . 50556 \ March 23, 1972. (Discussion on the Knutson Development project continued from reverse side.) P of what happened in 1963; The responsibility of this government is what I direct myself to; our testimony is going to show every item relating to the health,*welfare and safety of the community; I do not know offhand whether or not on the basis of the permit the Council might or might not be acting arbitrarily; I do know this, the four years of construction has changed this area and it might be that the community might have the same caveat as the individual owner; The area has been overdeveloped and crowded; What can you dol I:will say this is my firm belief that on one basis you can turn it down not only in this case but in any other case that comes before this Council; How can you make a valued judgment on the effect of a development on a neighborhood unless you have a plan before you; how can the Council unless you have the total plan before you make a decision on the effect it will have on the total health, welfare and safety; second I think we have sufficient evidence that the injection in the future there will be people and there will be problems and these problems are sufficient to endanger the health and welfare of the people in view of the City's active participation in rezoning this property; It might be the City has a responsibility in this area; The last suggestion I have is that the City condemn this property; that there be no future uses granted and the responsibility is for the City to determine the use especially in view of their participation in the past; Lastly you are going to have to provide a buffer zone for the Battle Creek School; There is no way you can avoid a buffer zone; our biggest resource are our children. Commissioner Tedesco said he would like to move that we withdraw the informal approval. Mr. Daubney said the informal approval is only a means to getting a permit and any applicant proceeds at his own risk. CommissionerSpraska. asked John Daubney "did you not at one time make a statement you would not turn a spade of dirt?" Mr. Daubney.-reaffirmed his previous statement on informal approvals. Commissioner Tedesco: "I move that the informal -approval be withdrawn, and I so move." Mr. Klas: "I really do not know what tM effect of an informal approval is. My feeling is Commissioner Tedesco said the apartments behind the Sunray Shopping Center were practically built by the time the matter came up for a vote. Mr. Klas said he does not know what informal approval grants to the applicant; My feeling is that he does not get much of anything; Mr. Daubney has indicated, and I have the feeling that he proceeds at his own risk, and if the Council turns it down then he is out of luck. Mr. Wozniak: "You did not try the case, but when I overturned the liquor license at Hamlin and St. Clair Judge Graff ruled you have no authority to grant informal approval, & would you not agree that an informal approval provides a case for the applicant?"' Commissioner Tedesco moved informal approval be withdrawn so that if Knutson wants to go to Court then they might as well go to Court on this. Acting President Commissioner Meredith rephrased Commissioner Tedesco's motion to wit: The City Attorney:be requested to prepare a resolution withdrawing the previously granted informal approval to Knutson Deve- lcpment Company. Yeas - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. City Clerk Harry E. Marshall then swore in the following group of witnesses at the request of Mr. Wozniak. Geo: W. Thompson, 2152 Falcon Ave. Owen L. Nelson, 1731 Burns Ave. Dale E. Peppel, 34 Warren St. Charles W. Wildernauer, 2210 Suburban Ave. Mary Des Lauriers, 1765 Upper Afton Road. Marilyn M. Lantry, 2050 Suburban Ave. Bernie Lamb, 21 N. Winthrop St. Jene Sigvertsen, St. Paul Schools. G. W. Thompson.read a prepared statement otherwise known as Exhibit I. Commissioner Tedesco said he would like to ask a question of the City Attorney on emergency ordinances, and one that normally goes through the regular channel. Mr. Klas said the procedure of emergency ordinance is -used quite frequently;. It requires 6 votes and is effective on publication and saves about 45 days. "I do not think that in this case it does have. much significance. (Continued on.following page.) March 23, 1972. 50557 ✓. 11 (Discussion on the Knutson Development project continued from preceding page.) Mr. Dale E. Peppel pointed out the density of apartments in the Battle Creek area. He said behind the Sunray the approach to the Sunray Library and just behind the Shopping Center there are 200 plus units; the Bastille Apartments just west of Ruth andwest of the Knutson property have 234 units and are still Linder constriction. Mr. Peppel had been explaining the slide presentations as they were shown. He then showed a shot from Ruth from the Battle Creek School looking from the Junior High School out to the Knutson property;,a shot of the corner from the School parking lot. He said the fire lane is`just outside the light standards;.To the east from the School are 500 some units in the McKnight Village, plus 36 condominium apartments; Knutson is talking about 500 units He then showed a slide of Ruth and across the Knutson property. Mr. Peppel°s presentation, with accompanying map, is Exhibit 2 of this file. Charles Wildenauer read a prepared statement which is Exhibit 3 of this file. Owen Nelson read a prepared statement and submitted accompanying data all known as Exhibit 4. Jene Sigvertsen referred to the Board of Education meeting on March 7, 1972 in regard to the action of Independent School District No: 625'in the matter under consideration. This is Exhibit 5 of the file. Marilyn Lantry said the other night she went through the Sussel Development and the lots that abut the development are $1,000 less. She then read a prepared statement which is known as Exhibit 6. Bernie Lamb submitted a petition in opposition to the proposed apartment - development of the Knutson Company, said petition is Exhibit 7 of this file. Mary Des Lauriers submitted a petition in opposition `to the building of the apartments across from Battle Creek Junior High School, said petition is Exhibit 8 of this file. Albert J. Brisson, 38 Bald Eagle Avenue, White Bear Lake, was sworn in by City Clerk Marshall. Mr. Brisson said he lived at White -Bear Lake and he wishes to commend the people for their attention today; We have the problem not only in White Bear and Battle Creek but through the entire State and these developments have got to stop.' Mr. James L. Jackson, 18 S. Winthrop, was sworn in by City Clerk Marshall, Mr. Jackson said we have in the playground a tremendous amount of children; a big proportion came from the apartment complex;. Already there is so much everyone gets in allotted time, I am active in the scouts and it is a beautiful place to pass their electives, and I think that by the removal of this it is just one more place and we as parents it is just removing one more area. Phillip G. Thompson, 2?9"Kennard St., was sworn in by City Clerk Marshall. Mr. Thompson said he lives in the area north of what we are discussing; during the whole time _the area was being sold, so I am familiar with all the proceedings; I feel by and large that everything has been covered; It was indicated earlier that the City Council gave approval to five high rise apartments; ::This is false; At no time was there t of a high rise in the property known as Knutson; the thing that wknot brought out- is the access to Burns and Battle Creek Development said they would not touch the trees; If access were given there you would•have to level that area. Commissioner Tedesco said he is a resident of the area and because he was aware of this problem he particularly watched the parking and traffic in construction, and his personal opinion is that it will be a travesty of 'justice to put 1,000 cars across from a school. Mr. Wozniak said the comment referred to as second class citizens is unfortunate; What we have attempted to show you that there comes a saturation point where they cannot possibly absorb another apartment. Mr. Daubney said he would like to pay particular credit to the Council for their attention. M A 1 6t1, 1972 The meeting was continued to 7.30 P. pri C.R. 257787.

The County Attorney is the person we should direct this to, and I do,not think it should be limited to one person and,I would be happy to appear before the County Attorney." Tom Murphy said"as an elected official you are charged to uphold the City Charter and.I think the City Attorney can.handle this case. You are familiar with the Charter as a City official." Commissioner Meredith said what we should do is refer this letter to the County Attorney for Grand Jury investigation and include all City officials. (Continued on following page.) \ March 23, 1972 50561 (Discussion on Thomas Murphy's letter continued from preceding page.) Mr. Murphysaid that is not what he is asking for. Mr. KLas said this has never been our function to investigate. We usually refer investigations to the Police. We are happy to do what- ever we can but we have no'investigatory force as such, and it has always been the practice in the past for the County Attorney in any matter that affects public figures. He has always done it with the Grand Jury and this is the function of the Grand Jury to conduct such an investigation,and the secrecy of the Grand Jury because in the case of unfounded charges a person'sreputation would not be damaged as a result of coverage by the media. Commissioner Tedesco moved that the City Attorney take the necessary steps to conduct an investigation of all City officials, and all. candidates including the candidates for Mayor. It was so ordered. \� Travel Claim of Richard A.

Jim Phelps, 1740 Hampshire Court, asked how long does a property owner have to pay? Mr. President McCarty said payments can be on a 20 -yr. installment plan but the assessment can be paid up at any time prior to that. Mr. Phelps continued, in regard -to the driveway approaching the street, is this included or is this a further expense? Mr. Hurtley said normally, the cost of replacing a private driveway is borne by; the property owner. - Mr. Phelps said in addition to the $700 assessment, he will have an .- additional expense. Mr. President McCarty explained that normally, the joinder of the street and the drive is paid by the City and the grade of the private drive would not be affected unless it had been built with no regard to the actual street grade. Comsr. Butler said I understand there are 7 property owners; 4, opposed and 3 want it. Comsr. Conway said I would like to say that last summer, due to the objections of the people on Hampshire, the oiling was stopped, and it was explained that this was necessary to maintain the street, and I am again in a jam but I would like"to move for approval. Mr. Kenney, when asked what his particular objections were, replied my objections would be to the curbing and grade; the reason it was brought, to the Council is on the basis of the stopping of the oiling; I am opposed to the entire order. Comsr. T�desco asked Comsr. Conway if the order -were not approved, would the oiling be resumed? Comsr. Conway replied it would. Roll call on the order - Yeas - 5„ Comsrs.

RESOLUTION RATIFYING ASSESSMENT' / Opening, widening and expanding the intersection of Clarence St. and Point Douglas Road (City Project P -0505R) by taking for street purposes part of Lot 8, Block 1, Point Douglas Addition, in SWu of Sec. 34, T. . 29N., R. 22W, under P.O. 252064 approved Jan. 21, 1971. Mr. George Wistl said he has had the property for 20 yrs, and if they take that property which I have had graded down; I have taken down the hill. He objected to the money offered and said his main problem is: what is he :going to do with the main piece of property? Roy Bredahl said what happened was that in November,this was brought to the Council for ratification and at that time, Mr. Wistl requested an opportunity to get an appraisal; so it was laid over indefinitely; one appraisal was $5600.00 and the other $9000.00 and at our last meeting, he was under the impression the $8000.00 was acceptable.. Mr. Bredahl recommended that the matter be laid over 2 weeks. Mr. President McCarty asked if the bone of contention was the difference between $8000.00 and $9000.00. Mr. Wistl replied: not only that, I would like to have the whole matter cancelled out. -- (Continued on next sheet) March 28th, 1972. 50567 Discussion on Resolution Ratifying As (continued) Mr. President McCarty said the project is approved and the Final Order is approved on the Burns project; this is for the purpose of providing a turn corner on the project, and the thought occurs toe that he got an appraisal, something in excess of $9000.00 and he i7/ -Sappy with the $8000.00 although we have another appraisal of just over $5600.00. Mr. Wistl said I would like to see you cancel the whole thing and have you take it all. Mr. President McCarty suggested that a solution might lie in resolving the differences between the two appraisal figures. Comsr. Butler asked: has this gentleman been advised of his rights to go to District Court if he is not satisfied? Mr. President McCarty suggested as a compromise an $8000,00 award and the assumption of taxes which he was told by Mr. Bredahl would still be less than the $9000.00 appraisal figure. Joan Wistl, 148 Bates, said the City is being unfair in not taking all the land; the property is appraised at $15,000.00; we have nothing we can do with it (she was referring to a small corner of the land which would not be taken and which is zoned "A".Residence); she continued I was notified on the 17th of. March by the Sheriff; otherwise this was my first notification® Mr. President McCarty explained that by statute, the City is precluded from taking more land than is needed. Comsr. Tedesco moved that the matter be laid over 2 weeks to April 11th. Motion carried. Yeas - 7 Nays - 0 C.F. 257673. FINAL ADOPTION Ord. No. 15050. An ordinance amending Ord.

Butler read a portion of Section 448 of the Legislative Code requiring approval to establish or expand a cemetery. A letter of Pastor Goebel of Zion Lutheran Church was read in favor, of the proposal. Mr. Ed Gertz, representing the neighbors in the area, filed a petition of about 107 in opposition. He said the residents feel that the con- struction of a wall crypt will be detrimental to the neighborhood and will not enhance the value of their property. Mrs. Jackson referred to beer parties and other activities in the, cemetery and Mrs. Johnson, 65 E. Acker, objected to a wall and said sound waves will bounce off the wall and it will also affect air circulation. Oliver Smith said he has improved his home over the years and will now only be able to see a concrete wall. A lady at 872 Jackson objected and questioned the zoning of the property. Ernest Willenbring, representing MECCA, spoke in opposition. Comsr.

Joe Prifrel said the residents are concerned about the deterioration of the crypts and of the neighborhood and he feels the proposal is too close to the street. Mr. Moore said he is the first to admit that there were incidents in the cemetery; however, in the last 5 yrs. an old office building was torn dorm and the northwest corner was improved and maintained. He said this improvement will represent a $5,000,000 investment and it will be well -illuminated and well -policed. He said the height of the wall at any point would be about 11 ft. He said they picked the hardest and most durable material and will not hesitate to plant trees and shrubs. There being no one else who wanted to appear, the hearing was concluded. Comsr. Butler said the rules provide that any member can make a motion and it does not have to be stated by the Chair.

Ray Faricy said the applicant has another storage place he could use and the neighborhood should not have to put up with a salvage yard for the next 90 days. He said they have had poor communications with the applicant and are opposed to a temporary permit.

A Review of AMTRAK's First Year of Operations. County Auditor Lou McKenna distributed copies of the SPECIAL STUDY COMMITTEE ON CIVIL SERVICE --SUBCOMMITTEE ON MINORITIES REPORT. He told the Council he wished to make some brief remarks on why he and other persons in the Council are here today. He said the City has a poor record in the areas of minority employment and employment of women and of the handicapped. He said the 3 subcommittees' were chaired by Donald Lewis (Minorities), David Frogl (Employment of the Handicapped) and Betty Howard (Employment of Women). Mr. McKenna said over 80 people participated in the studies and the 3 reports were submitted to. the Council; they were referred to the Personnel Committee and over a year since they were referred to the Personnel Committee,,and to the best of my knowledge, no Personnel Committee has ever considered the problem and only one Council session concerned itself with the question of telephones and walks for the handicapped. Mr. McKenna said that previous to this administration, the policy had always been to have a Personnel Committee meeting on the first Thursday of each month but that policy has been discarded and as a result, meetings of the Per- sonnel Committee have not been regularly scheduled and have been sporadic. Mr. McKenna then introduced Nick Sauro, Chairman, Human Rights Commission. Mr. Sauro said it was brought to the attention of the Human Rights. Commission that there were 3 reports,.Ind I think it is a sad state of affairs that after one year of work, no action was taken on the report and as a last resort, it was referred to the Human Rights Commission and last month it was decided that we would bring this to the attention of the Council for some vigorous action. He said a pattern of discrimination does exist in the City; in over 21+00 employes, there are less than 100 minority employes and they are placed in traditional positions; the City has to be a leader in the area; we are not just talking about recruitment but promotion; there has been some progress in the PEP program but ware concerned about the permanent jobs; there are roughly 400 jobs that figure in turnover each year; we are asking the Council to go on record and aggressively implement these 3 reports as they are all documented; we are asking for more than another resolution; it takes aggressive action to implement these things. Gene Rosenblum, Co -Chairman of the Citizens Committee on Human Rights, read a prepared statement recommending implementation of the findings of the subject reports, said statement is a part of this record. Comsr. Tedesco said, "I have had the opportunity to meet with Donald Lewis for about onef hour; if other people want to talk, I do not want to stop them bu # would like to do right now is that we post- pone or take a 5 -minute recess and call a meeting of the Personnel Committee; I think they have every right to be upset." Comsr. Levine remarked about the infrequent Personnel Committee meetings and the condition resulting from not having labor union business representatives at the meetings.

Mr. McKenna said that in addition to action from the Civil Service Bureau on the recommendations of the 3 Subcommittee Reports considera- tion should also be given to: i Funding of an on-going In-servce on the Job Training program, to upgrade employees and trainees; Adoption of an affirmative action program; and Revision of the appellate and grievance procedures by expanding the role of the appeals board to cover all employee grievances, and providing a simpler conciliation procedure. Mary Shea said she has been a Secretary for 28 yrs. covering a variety of job functions but because she does not have a college degree, she is not eligible for promotion; she has requested an appointment with Mr. Haider relative to entrance into the Metropolitan College but` Mr. Haider has made no reply to her requests. o Comsr.

Mr. Vice Pres—Meredith said there will be a Personnel Committee meeting. in the next day or two. Comsr. Levine suggested that the City Clerk's office contact John Connelly, Research Analyst, to contact all labor representatives and advise them of the impending meeting. Comsr. Tedesco then moved that the Civil Service Bureau be instructed to report on the specific recommendations in the 3 Sub -committee reports and make this report known to the Council within the next 30 days and consideration be given to the 4 objectives as follows: 1. Appointment and funding in the budget of a Recruitment Specialist to actively recruit minority applicants for jobs.

Yeas - 6 Nays - April 4th 1972. 50593 ti Hearing was held to consider the advisability and necessity of the correc- tion or wrecking and removal of the two-story frame single-family dwelling at 754 Selby Ave. Jon Duckstad appeared representing Mr. Michael. He said his client is opposed to the order at this time to wreck the building; back in 1968, when the Housing Authority was.in this subject area, letters were sent to Mr. Michael and -due to the uncertainty caused by the letters, the building has remained vacant to the present time; since that time he has been in contact with the Housing Authority in an effort to get them to purchase the building; to.be candid with the Council, there are no discussions at -this time because of a lack of funding; we ,have no commitment from the Housing Authority; there is nothing definite at this time. Comsr. Butler said there is virtually no possibility of acquiring pro- perties outside the northeast quadrant. Mr. Vice Pres. Meredith asked what stage is this at now? Mr. Ames said it is before the Council to refer to the District Court and it would take about 30 to 60 days in the District Court. The Clerk then read the City Architect's report on the structure. Comsr. Tedesco moved that the Corporation Counsel be requested to prepare a resolution ordering the correction or wrecking and removal of the -building.

St. to Atlantic St. (G-1682) under P.O. 257229 approved Jan. 31, 1972. Ralph Sivald said there are quite a few here against and I believe we represent the majority because we do not feel the grading is necessary. He said he owns property at 1237 E. Seventh St. Mir. Hurtley, in response to a question frog Mr. Vice Pres. Meredith, said this alley has been up before the Council in 1966 and 1967; we had 3 petitioners for the project; we have received a petition in January of 1972 with 3 petitioners scattered throughout the block; - it is an alley which should be improved because of its poor grade and it has several holes, particularly in the spring months at the frost break. He said there are no drainage problems and that 15% of the assessable property owners fronting want it. Gerald Watson, 855 Atlantic, said we have 6 against and one of the original petitioners could not come down because he is 100% disabled and he has changed his mind; I only drive this alley a few times a year;.my garage is under the house and I approach from Atlantic and this is why I oppose it. James McDonald, 1225 E. Seventh, said there are,a feu of us who'want the alley fixed; all we have there is a big mudhole; this kind of weather you could not decide whether you can getup or down; at the end of the alley is a duplex; those people are absentee landlords;' we need an alley and we need it bad; we tried to get it before and it was going through but then was held up because of highway plans. He said there are 9 property owners involved; 3 -are absentee land- lords and their tenants use the alley all the time. Evelyn Dunn said she owns a duplex at Lot 3, Block 2 at 858 Newcomb, ` and have been living at that property for 20 years; there is nothing wrong with that alley; it is all sand; it could not be a mudhole; I have driven over worse streets than the a11ey; in that block are 2 widows; Mrs. Shea does not want it paved and said she does -not have the money and does not use the alley but did not sign the petition because the neighbors on either side signed the petition for the improvement, she continued. Mrs. Burda said she cannot afford it; it is too costly. Comsr. Conway said prudence would dictate that I withdraw this order. A woman at 1233 E. Seventh St. said I am f9r the alley; we have trouble getting in and out of the alley; the only way we can get into our garage is through this alley and the approach has been ruined because of the mud; I am for this alley and'it is about time we fixed the alley; there is fine sugar sand at the other end of the alley. Mr. Vice Pres. Meredith said rather than eliminate the order, Comsr. Tedesco indicated we should look at it; why not lay it over to a definite date. Comsr. Levine asked if it would be possible for the Public Works Dept. to send engineers to talk to the residents where there are pending improvements and thereby avoid the inconvenience and expense caused; people by having to attend the public hearings. It was greed the Council would view the area as a group. Evelyn Dunn asked how many people are needed to overrule this matter and suggested a look at the T -alley also because it is used.

Frank Marzitelli said the reason for the resolution is so that organization such as MECCA and citizens who reside in the Missi- ssippi River Valley can be assured there is a land -use plan; one of the problems to date is those people who have been advocating an open -space program in the valley, even though we havethe report, unless there is a definite boundary set, there could be complaints of creeping industrialization; one of the other reasons we want the adoption of the report is the Council has passed an ordinance that regulates the Bind of improvements that can be made on the river bottoms. No determinatons•can be made by the Dept. of Natural Resources until the City Council makes its position clear by the -adoption of the report and.until the 'shore line has been established; this would be a welcome move as.far.as'representatives of MECCA are concerned. Comsr. Butler said I do not think we should act on this kind of reso- lution until the report has been studied. It was pointed out that the resolution merely refers the report back to the Planning Board and Port Authority for further evaluating and detailing of specific development proposals for the purpose of i"uture Council review.and determination of action. Mr. Marzitelli suggested copies of the resolution be sent to the County Board because the Countyes open -space program is directly involved and a copy also be sent to the Dept. of Natural Resources.

Donovan, Valuation Engineer, re: Schedule of Hearings and Estimated Costs for Sidewalk Construction Program for 1972, was read advising that a request has been submitted to the C.I.B. Committee for funds for the purpose of partially subsidizing sidewalk costs to the extent of retaining sidewalk assessment rates at the 1970 figures. It also recommended that the Intermediary Orders immediately following the letter be scheduled with the listed hearing dates on a full assess- ment basis, subject to possible assessment rate revisions upon the avail- ability of aforementioned C.I.B. funds. Commissioner Butler said what we are running into here is a situation; where the sidewalk assessments for 1970 are $4.00 for a 51 sidewalk, l $4.80 for a 6' sidewalk; for 1971 $4.40 for a 5' sidewalk and $5.30 for a 6' sidewalk; and for 1972 $5.00 for a 5' sidewalk and $6.00 for a 6' sidewalk; what we have to do is to ask the C.I.B. to pick up the difference so we can levy`the cost at the 1971 rate. The Public Works Department feels we"can�aoh but nevertheless it is before you now and C.I.B. is asked to subsidize the 1971 rate; it would allow the assessments at the 1971 rate. Commissioner. Conway said I would solicit extra strong support as possible from my colleagues. Commissioner Levine said in many cases when the sidewalk is needed it is the high cost which is the problem; if we can get the subsidy we can have sidewalks all over the town_. Commissioner Butler said right now we are getting into areal bind; in all the urban renewal areas, except Census Tracts 9 and 10, part of the assessment levy is picked up by the Federal government, and when these assessments start coming in you will have the situation where one man on one side of the street pays two-thirds of the assessment and another man on the other side of the street is paying one-third. Commissioner-Sprafka asked if this is a problem out of C.I.B. funds inas- much as C.I.B. are tax monies and we are being.asked to subsidize only a portion of the people. Commissioner Butler said all we are attempting to do is stabilize the rate so at least we can give the people a breather. Commissioner Meredith said C.I.B. is taxes and in paying taxes all' ,get a free ride; what I visualize, and I do not know it is legal, whether we can do sidewalks on tax property out of C.I.B. and for non taxpaying property have them pay it. J. Wm. -Donovan said this would apply only to those propertie's not yet ratified;not to any new Orders; when it comes to churches and.other tax exempt property they da not get any long side relief and pay the full rate. Commissioner'Meredith said then.you would pay for sidewalks on taxpaying properties out of C.I.B., and the tax exempt would pay their own assess- ment; when we pay out of the General Fund the people who are paying the 40% will be hard-pressed to help pay for the 60%; the problem is on the legality. Mr. Klas said when it becomes money out of the General Fund it becomes a tax and not a charge; for instance, in matters of se and water. if we were to provide free water and sewer then we could./�ge the Federal government for the service; when you make it an excise tax you eliminate the churches and schools and other tax exempt properties; off the top of my head, Commissioner Butler's idea looks good. Commissioner Meredith said it seems to me that those people who are paying taxes have already paid a tax. Commissioner Butler said unless we attempt to-do something many of these sidewalk orders will be turned dorm and, I am sure, this is not too good an idea. Commissioner Meredith told Mr. Klas "I mould like to have you check this". Mr. Donovan said we do have about 100 orders whose construction season has started and the contractors to whom the contract has.been let are going to insist the work commence. Commissioner-Sprafka asked did you go to the C.I.B. Committee on -this? Commissioner Conway said we have made a request for the funds and they have not acted on this. Commissioner Sprafka asked "is it a proper use to have the subsidy only in one case?" Commissioner Levine asked on the tree trimming is the assessment City-wide and restrictive of the downtown area? Mr. Schleck said 50% is.out of the General Fund and 50% is assessed. Mr. Klas said we cannot assess property if they do not have trees. Commissioner Levine said the bill said the City pays for it even -if they do not have a tree. Mr. Klas said we have been challenged for the Chaxter section; we could probably provide a way .but we have not had to do it. He read the Charter section and noted that the key word as fax as assessment policy for tree trimming is the word "abutting property". (Continued on reverse side.) 50604 April 5, 1972 (Discussion on Mr. Donovan's letter pertaining to the Sidewalk program for G 1972 continued from reverse side.) Commissioner Meredith said when you do not have a tree you are not abutting the property where there is a tree. Orders.

Mr. Segal expressed the hope that it would be read because he felt the Council might have questions to ask regarding same. The Chairman noted the Council is committed to a view of an alley improvement shortly, and requested the letter be re -presented April 6th. / Commissioner Conway commented on last night's editorial regarding f "the present City Council dragging its feet on government reorganization". Commissioner Butler said "I feel very strongly -that the Committee has worked hard and their"plan is good; it needs some modification; I feel the Butler-Sprafka plan for the Council is a very good one; I feel we have to first approve the administrative one and I feel we should get together with Messrs. Cohen and Ferderer for some input; we could adopt any kind of plan we want today, but it should wait until after the election of the Council." Mr. K1.aS said on April 20th. the Administrative Code will have to be introduced in order to be effective on June 6th. Commissioner Butler asked if the ordinances could not be emergency. Mr. Klas replied "Yes", but noted they would require six votes. Clemens Schleck, in response to a question whether the budget would be affected by reorganization plans, said if the people are put somewhere else but charged to the same fluid there is no problem; but if the work is changed there will be a problem as far as the computer is concerned. Richard Richie said he just observed this morning in regard to re- organization, you feel you have not been dragging your feet; I think I have to exclude Commissioner Conway because he was not here, but I feel the Council has been dragging its feet; in regard to the Butler- \ Sprafka plan, if they have a plan is it a secret? Commissioner Butler said "my plan was presented to the Council -and publicity was given it; it is available for public inspection, and my Deputy will be happy to show you it." the said "I am sorry Mr. Richie you did not see the newspaper account." Mr. Richie said he would like to see that plan; where can he see it; He said he would like to see that secret plan.. Commissioner Butler said "I take exception to the word secret and I think the Chair should rule Mr. Richie out of order." Commissioner Meredith said "I would suggest.that if you would go,to John Connelly's office he would be able to answer some of the problems, inasmuch as he worked on the proposal."

Murphy read a prepared statement re: Commissioner Meredith's / Deputy, Ralph Merrill, a full-time employee of the City also drawing retirement income; said letter is a part of this file. Mr. Murphy was critical of the situation, and requested that the City Council adopt the rules of the Federal Civil Service stating that a retired Federal employee may not seek employment in another department of the government. Commissioner Butler said "I would like to know how many other employees are drawing two salaries; I know in the Federal government if you were a soldier drawing part pay you mould be excluded from working at a government position. I wish this to be put to the form of a motion."

A D J O U R N E D r-,-, .;59609 MINUTES OF THE COUNCIL 10:00 A.M. April 6th, 1972. CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS - CITY HALL & COURT HOUSE SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA The meeting was called to order -by Mr. President McCarty at 10:15 A.M. Present - Comsrs. Butler, Conway, Levine, Meredith, Sprafka, Tedesco, Mr. Pres.Mc Carty.. 7 Absent - 0 Reading of the minutes was dispensed with. Hearing was held on the application of Country Club Markets, Inc. for a permit to install a 56 -car parking lot to be used in conjunction with a super market on property located on the east side of Maria between Third and Conway Sts., on Lots 11 - 16, Block 38, Lyman Dayton's Addition. Letter of the Zoning Board was read recommending denial of the application. Robert Naas, Operational Manager, Country Club Markets, Inc., appeared and said this matter came up in that we initiated an improvement in the building and in so doing, depleted the parking lot by 4 cars; we initiated. the improvement with the thought that all conditions had been met; we have operated the parking lot since 1966 and the person on the -adjoining property has no objection to the buffer request; we feel that the Planning Board -made a change on our plans and we would like to ask 'consideration for the continuation of the lot; apparently a certain parcel does not have the zoning for parking lot and this has been rectified; the zoning has been reclassified; we do not own the property, we are the lessee but we wish to do what is necessary. Comsr. Tedesco said apparently you have done this backwards; you should have resolved the parking lot application first. Mr. Ames said I might call to the Council's attention that on the agenda, that there are 2 matters in this area which ask for waivers; he could ask for a waiver but he didnotbut asked for a permit which does not meet design standards. Mr. President McCarty said maybe what we ought to do is to temporarily lay all this over and then consider the ordinance for the rezoning of the property in question. 11-11 At this point, Council File No. 257856, amending the Zoning Code, so as to rezone Elly 20 ft. of Lots 11 and 12, SE'ly corner of Lot 13 and S'ly 254 ft. of Lot 16, Block 38, Lyman Dayton's Addn, on E. side of Maria between Third and Conway Sts., to Commercial District, was given Third Reading. Comsr. Tedesco said I know the area and I do not think an injustice would occur but somewhere along the way, we should observe -the standards. Mr. President McCarty said that all that is being considered at the moment is the possibility of any amendments to the rezoning ordinance before the Council. There were none. Council File No. 257856 received its Third Reading and'was laid over one week to April 13th for Final Adoption. \� Discussion on Country Club Parking Lot Application was resumed. / Mr. President McCarty said now the Council should consider the question of the permit; it would seem to me that the Council has the authority to grant the permit subject to the standards being conformed; he asked Mr. Naas, if the Council were to grant your permit, do you have any problem meeting design standards because such an approval would be contingent on meeting the design standards? Mr. Naas said as I understand -the problem, it would mean a revision on the south end of the property; we expect to do that; our question is, that these questions were not presented at the time of the permits. -Mr. President McCarty saiq it ishisunderstanding that a person,before purchasing, has availab 1 pertinent information. He asked once again if they would be aggieeable to meeting the design standards. Mr. Naas replied affirmatively. Comsr. Tedesco moved approval of the application, SUBJECT to the appli- cants meeting the design standards. Motion carried. Yeas - 7 Nays - 0 I� 50610domino ✓' April 6th, 1972. Hearing was held on the application of McKee Oil Co. for a permit to remodel a filling station on property located at the northeast corner of View and W. Seventh Sts., on Lots 10, 11 and 12, Block 5, Clark's rs' Addition. Letter of the Zoning Board was read recommending approval of the application. No one appeared. Comsr. Tedesco moved that the Corporation Counsel be requested to prepare a resolution granting the application. Motion carried. Yeas - 7 Nays - 0 Letter of the Corporation Counsel was read re: Questions raised by / Mr. Daubney Pertaining to Knutson Development .Company's Off -Street Parking Permit. Letter of the Corporation Counsel was read re: Questions raised•by the opponents' attorney on the Proposed Development by Knutson Development Company. Comsr. Meredith asked,"When you buy a townhouse, what land do you buy? They were talking - there is a garage and an apron; does that owner own this property?" Mr. President McCarty explained that in the cases of double houses, an easement generally accompanies the conveyance title. Mr. Segal said you could sell an apartment and there is a common area owned by the tenant; there is no special law on town houses but the application of the apartment`house owner might conceivably apply. Mr. President McCarty explained the procedures as they relate to planted properties. At a point in the reading of the first letter and its discussion of the number of vehicular parking places needed for Council permit approval, Comsr. Tedesco asked what action would we need to have it go back to 5 spaces? Mr. President McCarty explained it would need the same procedures as an ordinance. Mr. Segal remarked sometime later at the repeated question of Comsr. Meredith as to what land the owner of a town house owns, that there is a.question in my mind as to what a town house is; it is not defined in the Zoning Code and it could go either way and the Council should be aware of this. At the conclusion of the reading of the letters, Comsr. Butler asked, "Will the Council make a determination tonight?" Mr. President'McCarty re -affirmed the previous Council action in . setting aside the April 6th P.M. meeting for purposes of allowing the Council more time to study the subject matter and make a deter- mination, and said that more than likely, both attorneys will be limited to perhaps a 5 -minute presentation and some of the residents might offer some testimony. Comsr. Levine said other than the legal matters raised, it would seem to me there should be no great length of time spent. Mr. President McCarty repeated that we did have the regular public hearing and the determination was made that the meeting tonight was for the purpose of arriving at a decision. Comsr. Butler said she will not be able to make tonight's meeting because of my recent surgery and doctors' orders that I am not to engage in evening activities; she would note, however, that if she could get an idea of"the approximate time, she would like to be at the meeting in order to cast a vote. Comsr. Tedesco submitted a copy of a report from the Building Dept. files answering Mr. Daubney's complaint that the Building Dept. had refused to issue a building permit for the project; said copy is a part of the file.

Yeas - 7 Nays - 0 A resolution waiving residence requirements for "Accountant I" was submitted. The advisability of the resolution was questioned by several members of the Council and a request was made that a member of the Civil Service Bureau explain the need for waiving of the requirements for a position which on the surface would appear to have sufficient applicants without aforesaid waiver. Mrs. Klein (?) addressed herself to Comsr. Meredith and said, "Commissioner, what has been done since last week in enforcing the dog ordinance?" Comsr. Meredith replied, "It so happens I am prepared with some material I was going to give to the Council this morning." The lady said one of the things that has happened is that there are no fines for dogs running here without a tag; I think a fine should be levied; a heavier fine for having your dog picked up; I think it should be more because if a dog is picked up a second time, they will think twice; Mr. President McCarty explained this is a misdemeanor and this Council only has the authority to levy a fine as prescribed by law; what actual fines or punishment shall be meted out for various crimes is at the discretion of the judicial system. We realize we have 2 problems: (1) an inadequate dog pound AND (2) we are only picking up dogs on the basis of complaints; I might tell you that there has been a great amount of effort by a great number of people; I was looking at the plan for a new pound facility and we are going to have it changed from a complaint basis to enforcing basis; it is my judgment that in the next couple of weeks you will see a great number of actions; we do recognize this is a serious problem. -The lady continued, "You do then as a group plan to raise the fine of $7.00." Comsr. Meredith said a dog has to be kept 5 days. The lady asked what happens to the dogs after 5 days. Comsr. Meredith explained that some are destroyed; some are sent to the University Hospital for research. He said in 1970, there were 1600 dogs picked up and in 1971, 2600; we have picked un more but there seem to be more dogs or the owners are not containing their dogs; as regards penalty; we now have a pound fee of $7.00 but we plan to,raise it to $15.00 and we plan to raise the schedule of board consistent with the kennels in the city. He showed a map indicating the breakdown of the areas and the number of dogs picked up in.each area. Comsr. Meredith continued that this gives us some guidelines of where we should have our concentration of dog catchers; we do h� e a communication or a firm commitment from B & G Patrol; the questiouwere talking about was whether they could put a vehicle'on the street and offer a flat rate; the rate they offer was $8.00 an hr. for 1 vehicle and 1 man; $12.50 an hr. for 1 vehicle and 2 men and $1.50 per day board; and I want to bring in this matter of City trucks; aryl we could put them in the area where we think the help is needed; it might be cheaper in the long run than putting people on dill -time. For 1 man and truck for 8 months, it costs $9800; for 2 men and l vehicle for 8 months $14,700; 8 months would be for the rest of the year; I recommend to the City Council that we get this contract and they stated that they could get it operational in a week; in addition,the thing . that interested me - they will have radios in their trucks so that if a complaint came in, they can call the trucks; it seems the dogs are getting larger and people are buying dogs for their homes and it is a different dog than 3 or 4 years ago; now apparently the people are buying protection and this is the problem; I would like the Council to give me the authority to explore it. In response to a question by Comsr. Tedesco, Comsr. Meredith repeated that in 1971 there were 2593 dogs picked up and 896 redeemed, and it is reflected in our license situation. In 1970 there were 3100 dog licenses and in 1971 5000; I think we are getting the message across but it is a fact that we get just about double the number of licenses and also the number of dogs picked up; the Humane Society said that if people are dog lovers, if they love the dog, they should take care of it; (Continued on next sheet) e 50615 \ April 6th; 1972. Discussion on Dog Problem (crn tinued) there were so many homeless dogs, it seems that there are a great number of dogs not redeemed. What you see here is a pretty good indication of which dogs are running. In answer to a question from Mrs. Klein (?), Comsr. Meredith said that the n methods of dog catching are cruising and complaint;" our present one is cruising. He remarked about the possibility of marking the vehicles and said he did not know whether it costs $20 or $25 but he told them to mark the vehicles and this is one of the things we might have been negligent about; what we are going to do is put those magnetic signs on the trucks which can be removed when necessary. Mr.. Klein said in Roseville, they have a policy in the License Dept.; for anyone who comes in to get a license for his dog, they have a pamphlet which contains what these people as dog owners are expected to do and a short page about how to train a dog. Comsr. Meredith remarked that is an excellent idea. Mr. President McCarty said within 2 weeks, some affirmative action will be taken. Comsr. Meredith said, "May I ask the Council - how does the Council feel, should we try it at this point?" Mr. President McCarty remarked that it -might be more advantageous to consider the long-range plan of hiring additional dog c.Atchers and buying more vehicles. Comsr. Meredith objected on the basis of the time that would be lost in putting the trucks out for bid and the fact there is no civil service list. Comsr. Tedesco said to Mr. President McCarty, "I think I like your idea better but it will take a long time to get the program started; but it might be a good idea to use this now." Mrs. Klein said, " I think Comsr. Meredith has examined this and he has all the information and I cannot see it waiting any longer; dog owners should know that you mean business." Mr. Klein said we do not want this whole episode to fade away. There was some informal discussion between the Mayor and members of the Council on the possibility of PEP employment and funding for the trucks. Comsr. Meredith said, "May I ask for informal approval of up to $25,000 to be used just for dog catching services?" Mr. President McCarty said, "I do not think you should enter into the agreement yet." Comsr. Meredith said an application has been made for a PEP employe and seemed confident it will be successful. He said we will get one clerk at the pound and this will free one man to go out. Comsr. Meredith moved that informal approval of up to $25,000 to be used just for dog catching services be given. Roll call on the :notion - Yeas - 7 Nays - 0 Motion carried. The meeting was thereupon recessed. The recessed A.M. meeting of April 6th, 1972 was reconvened at 7:35 P.M. by Mr. President McCarty. Present - Comsrs. Butler, Conway, Meredith, Sprafka, Tedesco, Mr. President McCarty..6 Absent - Comsr. Levine..l (Comsr. Levine arrived during the meeting.) i" Mr. President.McCarty said the Council is in session tonight to make a determination on a matter which has been pending for sometime; we had decided this morning that we would have 5 -minute presentations from each of the attorneys. Mr. President McCarty asked each of the attorneys to put their plea in the 5 minutes allocated to them. John Daubney, attorney for Knutson Development Co., said, "I would like to review for the members of the Council not present at the hearing some of the background." Mr. Daubney then read a.prepared statement. Comsr. Levine arrived shortly after the beginning of the reading by Mr. Daubney of'Mir. Daubney's statement. Said statement is a part of this file. Comsr. Levine said I want to refer to an earlier remark on the open space; in that area you are not suggesting that this is not being considered. (Continued on other side) 11-1/ 50616 April 6th, 1972. Discussion on Knutson Development Co. Matter (continued) Mr. Daubney said, "I have the map -which accompanied the State Legislaturer, action on the Ramsey County Open Sp , ace Program and in that map or plan there is no showing of that area being taken for open space." Comsr. Levine replied, "I am not sure that is final and I do not think we should create a false impression it is not being considered." Comsr 4 .'Tedesco referred to the effect of the "Zoo" -subject matter and its ultimate location in Apple Valley and said the placement of the Zoo there was a factor in the map as it came from the State Legislature. Comsr. Tedesco said the Minnesota Mining started staggered shifts because of the congestion; "John, you do not know the congestion because you do not live next to it." John Daubney said, " I am saying it is not in the County Open Space Program at the present time." Mr. Daubney then submitted his prepared comments, together with Exhibits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 to the Recording Clerk and the same materials were presented to the Court Reporter present at the meeting. Mr. D. D. Wozniak said, "For the record, I would like to object to the reception of the evidence presented to Council; it was my understanding that we had 4 hours for presentation of evidence and,to the extent it has been received; it is not part of the deliberation because we have not had an opportunity to examine -or cross-examine the material presented." Mr. President McCarty said he thinks it would be germane to note Mr. Wozniak's objection. . Mr. Wozniak said, " I assumed that by virtue of Council action, that the meeting was called tonight for last minute summary and that need of the evidence presented tonight is not germane because neither you nor I have had an opportunitytoexamine the evidence." Mr. Wozniak continued, "What will the new apartment do to the present facilities; it will overcrowd the police,water and sewer facilities; what will it do to the present land values; testimony indicated that $1,000 was the value affected by the land next to the Bastille Apart- ments; the�City often equates growth with new construction and there is an awareness that development is necessary to theneighborhoodand helps the tax basis of St. Paul; this may or may not be true; what are we really talking about; I think we need to examine the canard that this is going to increase the tax coffers of St.'Paul; what happens when you build an apartment; you have to widen streets; build better streets - have to be built; oversize sewer lines and water pipes, and we, the taxpayers, pay for them and they are not reflected; so this canard of getting more money because of multiple dwellings is not necessarily true; the area is already saturated with apartments with 1500 people and hundreds of cars; you may reject the petition for parking if you feel it will detrimentally affect this small community of St. Paul, and I think our last hearing evolved that all the problems that arise from an area that is over -saturated; the lack of any buffer zone between this development 'and the school which cost over $3,000,000 of the taxpayers' monies; the question of the lack of any drain -off and going down the street and finding that Battle Creek cannot take the added water or to find that someone has drowned so what will happen today is important not only to the residents of tattle Creek but to all of St. Paul and so if you insist upon this type of action, the problems that are created are not offset by the tax base; you destroy the neighborhood; what -,rill happen is that you trill place the school between 2 fire calls; you will seal the school in an area that cannot be protected; I refer to the right of the property owner who would have his investment protected; the right to have a tranquil neigh- borhood; the right not to expect congestion; the right not to be assessed additional monies to Day improvements because of a new development; the right to . expect that when you pay $3,,000,000 for a school, it will noti,degenerate into a slum area because of a developer;this is what will happen in this area; you already have in the making a slum area because of the apartments that have been made; certainly you should have a right to see the whole project and to that extent,' you should deny it but more important, thisis the way you crucify a neighborhood; this kind of activity will do that; these people have two priceless possessions, their children and their home and is!notthis the real basic value the -Council should protect, and ;e ask that you deny this permit." Comsr. Tedesco said, ",I would like to state something for the record- Comsr. Butler said, " I notice there is a Court Reporter for the record. I would like to ask her name and who employed her." Mr. President McCArty replied this is a continuation of the earlier hearing where a Court Reporter was present. (Continued on next sheet) \,April 50617 doom 6th, 1972. Discussion on Knutson Development Co r (continued) Comsr. Tedesco said, "We Matte have a room iiull of people here tonight and many of these people lived there in 1963 and none of those people had a voice -in the rezoning. I am not going to say the Council at that time was dishonest but they were pretty stupid and I say it is an invalid rezoning. I would like to make one comment: Knutson first asked for 1,029 parking spaces; then 260 spaces; then 132 verbally." Comsr. Levine. said, "I would like to say this for the record; we sat here on the Red Barn case and we did not include this; today we received a 7-pagelegal report from our City Attorney discussing the entire matter. I think we have to look at this case as being a project as the straw that broke the camel's back; a neighborhood that cannot have another apartment; I look at this as a part of the body; I do not think we can look.at this as just the Battle Creek area but the whole City of Saint Paul. We have heard a lot of law'and opinions where the court looked at the record; I think there is one thing that should be perfectly clear; that there is a law of people, a sort of ecology of people; when you shatter these kinds of ideals, we have allowed the destruction of these kinds of values." Mr. Daubney said, "Since the Council has not seen fit - - - we are with- drawing our application at this moment." Comsr. Tedesco said, " I refuse; you did this on the corner of Winthrop and Upper Afton and that should have been denied. On second thought, I think we should allow hlr. Daubney to withdraw the application", but at that moment, there was considerable spectator comment of "No". IHr. President McCarty said, "I might point out to you that the applicant is indicating he wants to withdraw the application; we can proceed to have roll on the motion but the applicant can come back tomorrow." He noted that this is not the same procedure as in a rezoning. Comsr. Sprafka said, "Before I cast my vote, I would like to make one comment; it seems ridiculous to me that we are in a situation where we have a rough draft of a new zoning ordinance and I hope that with the government reorganization plans, we can adopt a new zoning ordinance." Comsr. Tedesco, upon question from Comsr. Sprafka, said the new zoning code would preclude the use of the area as sought by Knutson Development Co. Comsr. Tedesco submitted a written statement explaining his reasons for disapproving of the application and his letter incorporated that the application be denied. Comsr. Tedesco then moved that the application be denied. Motion carried. Yeas - 7 Nays - 0 The application was denied. Letter of the St. Paul Building and Construction Trades Council is noted in the minutes as having been received. Comsr. Tedesco said, "I would like to make one more comment; I hope"St. Paul will not have to do what the people of Minneapolis had to do on the Red Barn case in Dinkytown; it was the protest of the people that kept the Red Barn out.

Bernard Wright, representing the Civil Service Department, explained the reason for the request and cited past experience on this examination. At the request of Commissioner Levine, he also explained the recruiting programs and said Business School applicants are not recruited because the ordinance requires a college degree. Commissioner Levine said, with the employment situation, he doesn't know why we have to waive the specifications and maybe they should be changed to allow Business School applicants. Commissioner Butler agreed and said the matter should be referred back to the Civil Service Department with direction to change the specifications. Commissioner Butler moved that the resolution be referred back to the Civil Service Department, and that the specifications be changed so as to allow applicants with an Accounting Degree from an accredited Business School.

Ciresi, et al, for the vaca- tion of that part of the allen Block 9, Bohland's Iii11s lying 5'ly. of the NW'ly. line of Lot 10, Block 9 of said Addition extended W'ly. across said alley. Letter of J. Wm."Donovan was read recommending certain conditions if the Council chooses to vacate the alley. Mayor McCarty questioned the use of public property by adjacent property owners. Commissioner Butler said,under these circumstances, it is usually the recommendation to deny the petition, and she moved that the petition be denied. Ray Emerson said he circulated the petition and it is unlikely that anyone could ever use the alley or improve it, and he spoke in favor, of the petition. Another man who said he lives on Saint Paul Avenue agreed with Mr. Emerson in favor of the petition. Mayor McCarty said the entire alley should be vacated, and he said property owners are using public property but are not willing to vacate it and pay compensation for it. Commissioner Butler again moved denial of the petition. There was considerable discussion between Council members, mainly involving Mayor McCarty questioning the legality of vacating a portion of an alley, and Mr. Emerson suggested the matter be laid over. Mayor McCarty suggested that Mr. Emerson approach other property owners in the block to request the vacation of the entire alley. Commissioner Meredith.said we have approved similar petitions for vacating parts of alleys and providing turn-arounds. Commissioner Butler said the Council took an oath to uphold the law and the Charter. Mayor McCarty suggested the matter be laid over one day to obtain a legal memorandum from the Corporation Counsel. Commissioner Levine said we can't expect Mr. Emerson to ask all the neighbors in the block to provide.compensation.

FINAL ORDER In the matter of improving Berry St. from University Ave. to Pearl St. (City Project No. P-0286), under P. 0. 256047, approved Oct. 19, 1971. William Bush, attorney representing Admiral Merchants, said the petition for improvement was made by a former owner and, as a result, there is no sponsor of the improvement by abutting owners. He also referred to problems involving the spur track,'and spoke in general opposition to the improvement. Robert Christenson, attorney representing Distributor Services Company, said the street could be patched, and he questioned the necessity of the project when only a small portion of the street needs repair. He also said the spur track may be removed at some time. Elizabeth Clark, representing the West -Midway South St. Anthony PAC Group, said they support the improvement of Berry Street between University and Territorial Road, but oppose the improvement north of Territorial'Road because it is in a renewal area and we don't know what the plans will be. , Commissioner Conway said the Order should be amended to eliminate sidewalk construction. He moved approval of the Order excluding sidewalk construction. Commissioner Levine asked where the people would walk if the sidewalk is deleted. Claude Thompson, Design Engineer for the Public Works Department, said sidewalks were included because curbs are needed, and if sidewalks aren't constructed there would be an unimproved area between the curb and buildings without proper drainage. Mrs. Clark said the improvement of Berry north of Territorial Road is a waste of money, and she said sidewalk is necessary. Commissioner Butler said the street is in poor condition and access is needed. Commissioner Conway withdrew his previous motion and moved approval of the Order as written. Mrs. Clark said on that basis she would oppose the entire improvement. Mayor McCarty suggested laying the Order over one year. Mr: Christenson again questioned the necessity of the project at this time. Mr. McGivern, representing Hubbard Broadcasting Company, said in some 20 years he has not seen any pedestrian traffic. He said the sidewalk is not needed, and they do not object to the street but the project is too ambitious. Commissioner Meredith questioned the location and construction of the sidewalk over the railroad tracks. Mayor McCarty said there are no residential structures within the boundary of the improvement. Commissioner Conway moved approval of the Order as written. Yeas - 6 - Comsrs. Butler, Conway, Levine, Meredith, Sprafka, Tedesco. Nays - 1 - Mr. Pres. McCarty.

He said that due to the ordinance, he is now prevented from hooking up the several sewers to several `buildings. He said the ordinance makes an exception if aIprivate contract for a sewer was involved but it has been interpreted that the agreement with the City was not a private contract.He said, after discussion with City officials, they request and recommend that the ordinance be amended in accordance.with its intent and be referred to the Drainage Committee and then to the City Council. Mr. President McCarty discussed at some length the intent of Sec. 230. of the Legislative Code and said he thought an amendment was not nee- essary. `\ Mr. Segal, Asst.

A letter of the County Attorney, addressed to the City Attorney, was read by the Mayor relative to alleged City Charter violations on the part of certain City Commissioners in the collection of campaign funds and stating that City Charter violations are ordinance violations and do not constitute indictable offenses, and after a review of the statutes, they do not feel there has been a violation by this alleged conduct. Tom Murphy appeared and said originally when he brought his request for an investigation on the collection of campaign funds, he cited a violation of Sec. 108 of the Charter. He said he is asking that there be investigation pursuant to an article in the paper; wherein the License Inspector admitted selling campaign tickets. Comsr. Butler said the newspaper story said that the License Inspector admitted selling tickets. Mr. Murphy asked when the Corporation Counsel will conduct the investi- gation on the alleged violations. There was some discussion on the Charter provisions and also the new Charter provisions, and Comsr. Butler said the Council should not casually handle the matter. She said the License Inspector, admitted collecting campaign fluids andthis is in violation of the Charter and should be investigated. She also referred to the power'the License Inspector has in denying and approving licenses. Mr. President McCarty said the License Committee, made up of 3 Council members, has the authority to recommend denial and approval of licenses. Mr. President McCarty said if the Council wants an investigation, he will be glad to have one, provided it encompasses each and every Council member. Comsr. Tedesco agreed that it should include all or none. Comsr. Meredith said he has never personally solicited a campaign contribution and never made a,cell or telephone call of any kind. Comsr. Butler said it is not a Charter violation to have a volunteer committee solicit funds. Mr. President McCarty suggested that the Corporation Counsel comply with the directive of the Council. Mr. Klas said the Council requested that the matter be referred to the County Attorney, and this is his reply. Comsr. Butler moved that the matter be investigated by the Corporation Council to determine if there is a Charter violation by any employes. Comsr. Tedesco asked that the pntire Council be included. After further discussion, Coifis"r. Butler moved that the Corporation Council be requested to give a legal opinion on his interpretation of Charter provision 108 and also the same provision in the new Charter. Motion carried.

He said they have been in negotiation for 6 months with Model Cities and HUD and their contract has been approved by them and was submitted to the City on Nov. 29, 1971, and he asked why the contract has not been signed by the City. Mr. President McCarty said he received the contract in final form 2 days ago and he has discussed the matter with some people and is also going to confer with the Area Director of MYD. He said the contract will probably be ready for approval in a few days. Mr.,Parker again requested that the contract be signed. Mr. President McCarty listed several items in the contract that must be changed, and he gave the reasons for his statement and discussed them further with Mr Parker. He said he will study the entire matter this afternoon and will sign the contract as quickly as possible, probably next week.. "Richard Richie referred to the Public Works garage fire and said the paper set the damage at $250,000 and the insurance policy is for $100,000.

Butler, Conway, Levine, Meredith, Sprafka, Tedesco,Mr.Pres.McCarty..7 Absent - 0 Reading of the minutes was dispensed with. Hearing was held to consider increasing the fee schedules at the Pig's Eye Landfill. Mr. President McCarty said a public hearing is not needed and he cited various figures prepared by the Public Works Dept. on the receipts and the cost of operation of the landfill and specifically referred to the amount of money projected to be received from the sale of equipment after the landfill closes operation. He said he proceeded to get an evaluation of the equipment and said Allis-Chalmers said the equipment is worth some $87,000.00. He said it is inconceivable that anyone could project a salvage of $15;000.00 and he asked the Public Works Dept. for an explanation. Kent Schonberger appeared and said the valuation is a judgment of the Engineers, and Mr. President McCarty said there is no need for a hear- ing to increase the rates and maybe we should be holding a hearing to decrease the rates. Mr. Schonberger explained the estimates on various operational costs, including cover material. He also referred to some equipment which is assigned to the landfill and should not be sold as part of landfill equipment. There was further discussion between Mayor McCarty and Mr. Schonberger and Comsr. Conway objected to the Mayor's remarks about stupidity and fraudulent estimates. Mr. Schonberger said.he does not think the value of equipment at $100,000.00 is valid. Comsr. Conway suggested that we lay over the hearing until the equip- ment can be evaluated. Mr..Schonberger said if we cover the landfill in accordance with PCA regulations, the money will have to be made up some way. Mr. President McCarty said we cannot rely on the information that has been received. The Mayor ordered the hearing laid over one week to April 25th. C.F. 258167. FINAL ORDER SEE ROLL CALL BELOW.

He referred to problems connected na with the establishment of freeways throughout the area. He said it is not�too late to change the plans, and it is never too late to protect t.11 he people., ave a sour Mr. Wengler, Chairman of the ReSidents in Protest of 35E, g presentation of freeway noise at various distances from the A James Lynderi, x+35 Portland, and President of the Ramsey- , said they feel 35E will ,encourage the deterioration of the neighborhood. He said the interchange at Ramsey gill will increase traffic through the area, and will require the widening and improvement of City streets. (Continued on following Page.) '---.April 19, 1972 50059 (Discussion on Highway 35E continued from preceding page.) \\ Jack Leitner, 483 Grand Hill, and President of the Summit -Hill As said they also oppose the construction of 35E and the entrance and exit ramps will encourage traffic through the residential area. Mayor McCarty left the meeting at this point and returned later in the meeting.' .Mr. Leitner also urged that the Council act now to save the area as one of the fine areas to live in Saint Paul. Father Al Skl-uzacek, President of the West 7th. St. Assn., said the a is mainly concerned about two entrances to the freeway at St. Clair and Victoria, both going East. He also referred to playground facilities near the entrances. He said we don't need added traffic -through the residential area. De said we should scrap the whole thing. Cheryl Pesina, 381 View, and a student at Monroe Junior High, referred to the location and to the upgrading of Palace Playground, and said people who want to be able to get to the playground will. beendangering their life.,: A student at St, Paul Academy filed a petition of students at St. Paul Academy and Summit School supporting the elimination of the project, and as an alternative limiting interchanges and limiting the noise problem. Mayor McCarty returned to the meeting at this point. Commissioner Butler said one of the main items is that the freeway will be destroying three playgrounds, in the area, Mayor McCarty said he left the meeting to discuss the matter with the Attorney General on the City's rights. He referred to a meeting on May 3rd, with Highway Department officials. He said he thinks the entire Council is in sympathy with the request, but there is a question on the Council's authority. He asked that the Council be given the opportunity to review the matter with the Attorney General and to meet with the Highway Depart- ment on May 3rd. Mr.. Wozniak said this doesn't meet with the approval of the people present, and they -want to show that this is a serious mistake and will detrimentally affect the people in the area. He asked for a Council resolution expressing that the thoughts of planning was wrong and is a mistake and should be stopped and studied again. He said the Highway Department determines highway matters and the Council decides what is best for the residents of the City. There was some discussion at this.time between Mayor McCarty and Mr. Wengler pertaining to their request for portions of the highway that are already under construction. Mayor McCarty said we can only request that the work be stopped, but we have no authority to do so as .a Council. Commissioner Butler referred to a resolution prepared by the group and said 1 she would like to have it read and she will introduce it. Commissioner Tedesco said we can control anything by not giving them authority to widen streets. Commissioner Levine said we have the same problemon the East side with Highway 212, and we must make it very clear to the Highway Department and �.. planners that we have reached the crossroads and are not prepared to go along with auy more freeways that destroy the City and that we must look towards mass transportation. A resolution was at this time read opposing the construction of 35E between W. 7th. Street and the State Capitol, and urging that all construction work be stopped, and rescinding all approval previously given to route location, and expressing intention to w$thhold final approovsl of any plans which come before the Council in the future, and urging that the Highway Depart- ment, the Metropolitan Transit Commission, the Metropolitan Council and the City Planning Board and Department initiate an in depth study on alter-. nate routes and alternate uses of the land. Commissioner Tedesco submitted copies of two newspaper publications on the subject of trees which were read and placed into the record. Commissioner Butler moved informal approval of the resolution with referral of the matter to the Corporation Counsel's office to put the resolution on proper form for final approval, at tomorrow's Council meeting. Yeas - 7 Nays - 0 Motion carried. Tom Murphy, a resident of the area,. said an unsafe highway does -not con- tribute anything to a neighborhood. State Representative Walter Hanson referred to problems with blasting ever since a decision was made to depress the highway and they ran into Pock problems. He urged that the permit be revoked which allows blasting. Commissioner Conway said he will issue an order this afternoon to stop the blasting. An unidentified man suggested that if the freeway cannot be prevented that it be limited to use by small cars only. (Continued on reverse side.) 50660. L�l April 19, 1972 (Discussion on Highway 35B continued from reverse side.) -Mr. Wangler proposed an alternate route from an interchange at Shepard Road and the Lexington Bridge using Shepard Road and designating it as the 135E Route. Mr. Wozniak said both candidates for Mayor approve of the action of the Council today. George Levine, 54 Crocus Hill, referred to a certain engineering problem and said it is foolhardy to proceed with construction. Mr. Zukas referred to a meeting he is having with Highway officials and he expressed approval of an alternate freeway route.

There was some discussion on the resolution, and Comer. Butler said the last paragraph has been revised to'authorize that action be taken to rescind previous approvals 'if it is legally possible. , Mr. President McCarty questioned opposition to the freeway that is already Constructed, and he said the Council has no authority in the matter. He also referred to the alternate route on Shepard Road and referred to many industries and businesses that would have to be acquired. He suggested that the Council work towards alleviating some of the problems and he suggested. the Corporation Counsel be authorized to review the matter with the Attorney General and with legal representatives of the. Highway Dept. Comsr. Butler said the resolution merely asks the Highway Dept. to stop work and she urged passage of the resolution and then have the Corporation Counsel study legal impediments. John Healy, attorney representing a group of downtown business men, said. they are concerned about access to the downtown area and to the Civic`, Center. He said grades have been established for some years and planning and construction have been based on the freeway. He said the resolution could have consequences that could not be undone. He said that if the', power of the -state is used to override the City and if the City objects, we might forfeit our chance to make any changes. Mr; President McCarty said theCivicCenter was constructed based on the freeway corridor and if there are changes, the guarantees to the Civic Center might be in jeopardy. Comsr. Butler said a resolution is not a law but an expression of feeling. Comsr. Levine said the resolution will cause the Highway Dept. to present an updated plan to the best interest of the total community. Oomsr. Tedesco said this gives the opponents a voice in the matter. There was further discussion and the last RESOLVED paragraphs of the resolution were again'read. Comsr.

Seventh St. between Van Dyke and -Hazel Ave. AND the paving of Hazel Ave. between E. Seventh St. and Stillwater. The petitions were referred to the Public Works Department. Lorraine Freischel said her property is undeveloped laaid,..on the south side it is depressed land; when Hazel Street was put through from Seventh South the taxes increased considerably; everyone of all the property owners has signed this petition; there are no pothole@ and there is no need for repaving and it will take ten years to pay for this paving. Commissioner Convey said there is no Preliminary Order -submitted. Mayor McCarty said the petition should properly be referred to the Public Works for consideration before any order is ever brought in here. Commissioner Conway said "I think this is the position we agreed on". Mayor McCarty said they should preclude any order coming in here. Mr. Barrett said we are not interested in Preliminary Orders or anything else; When we see surveyors and City employes working, we get concerned. The petitions were referred to the Public Works Department. An unidentified lady said the Arlington-Arkwright property is being defaced; it belongs to the Sky Line Builders and is owne&*by Sherman Rutchiek; now they are taking the dirt out; there is a real danger to the kids because there is a real drop. She expressed concern that by the taking out of the dirt, and the grade being affected., the value of the land would increase to the extent that the monies available for acquisition for the Arlington-Arkwright playground would not be sufficient. Mr. Glenn Erickson said the owners of the property said sometime ago that they would stop the taking of dirt, and certified letters have been sent to all the property earners telling them to cease the operation. A second unidentified lady said the permit for. Mr. Moe is ten years old and it only covers certain lots; State Statute says the Mining Statute says top soil should not be removed. Mayor McCarty said last week, in an effort to resolve this situation, he told one of the owners that we have $325,000.00 available and that is what the property is appraised at; thI a higher figure, somewhere from $600,000.00 to $8i3O,O00.Q0, and compromise could be worked out; we could acquire the title for t,x•00 and give them the rights to remove the soil, providing they go below the grade of the street; in a four or five month period tld probably get,, around$410,0OO.�on the soil proposition, but sirethey have a desire to get more dough; we have funding available to the extent of $325,000.00.

Mprph�y he had brought the matter before the Council, and the following day a resolution was brought in deleting him from the auto allowance. gr'T, Murphy's statement was not transmitted to the Clerk. Dr. Jane Rachner said a week ago she appeared before the Council with a request that Commissioner Tedesco bring in a list of buildings which are not up to standard. Glenn Erickson said he was not instructed to bring in a report, and the ordinance adopted by the Council states stairwells have to be enclosed, but the regulations concerning sprinklers cannot be enforced because it does not go into effect.until September 1, 1976. Dr. Rachner said her objection is that the ordinance is improper; the sprinkler feature should not wait until 1976, and it should be done within 90 days. Mr. Erickson said the 19 schools have the stairwells enclosed. Dr Raebner said her main concern is the implication by the School Board in the promotion of its bond program that life standards are in danger. Arthur Peoples appeared and complained about the Potholes in the Summit-, University area. The meeting was recessed at this point and the Council Imt as a Personnel Committee; ecmissioners Butler and Levine left the meeting. said I might mention to the Council that it �k action to Mayor McCarty/ .Correct the inequities that exist in City government such as equal pay � said Comsr. for equal work, and the question of suxpervisor's pay. to Water Shed Sp and he undertook a deal the other day in regard Laborers, and negotiated a deal to close the gin between the Water Shed Laborers and those covered by the contract. Nicholas Schneider, Business Agent, Local No. 8, said the Minutes of February 29, 1972 state there is to be a report and we are waiting for this report so we can have a demonstration of this equal pay for equal work; we are talking about all the occupations in the Manual Maintenance Group. Magor McCarty said -Civil Service has done everything it can to straighten things out, but the report was not ready. He then suggested that they ,discuss the grievance of the Tree Trimmers. Mr. Schneider mentioned the difference inn ay between the Tree Triumers ($5.22 an hour and the Unskilled Laborers $5.91)• one of the Tree Trimmers said he felt he should get hazard Pay, and he mentioned that 12 years ago the Council adopted a pay scale that was to put all pay in line with the outside. Mayor McCarty said there is no way they are going to get any more than those covered by the labor contract; I just pointed.out we took care of the Water Shed Laborers and you are not covered by the labor trades. In response to a question from Mayor McCarty, John Haider said that in setting the Tree Trimmer's salary said salary has been cared to Tree Trigs on the outside, and Tree Trigs on the outside do not compare with the pay of Laborers. Frank Rodriguez of Local #132 took exception to some of what he considered deprecatory remarks about Laborers made by the aforementioned Tree Trimmer. Mr. Haider said the City has titles of Tree Trimmer I and II; when they are learning the business they are Tree Trimmer I; then they go to Tree Trimmer II. Mr. Schneider then introduced the subject of Groubdsman who noir are paid $4.58 an hour and said they are locking for the same pay as Laborers. A Groundsman appeared and said they should qualify for pay under the Labor'' title, and said they do a variety of jobs; some concrete work and driving of equipment, etc. Dir. Richard Radman said his feeling is the title should be abolished, if their job duties are infringent on the work of others. Mr. Schneider said this is nothing new in hwAng.people work out of title. He said there are five Foremen who are getting less money than the people they are supervising. (Continued on reverse side.) 50676. April 21, 1972. Mayor McCarty asked Mr. Radman if he felt there should be a single job - classification for those positions not covered by union contracts and making less pay than Laborers. Mr, Radman said, in response to a suggestion by Mayor McCarty, that all the different classifications not classified be lumped into one title and paid one flat rate; He would suggest this be laid over and talk things over with the people involved and the Civil Service. Mayor McCarty asked what problems Mr. Radman foresees in a situation whereby a title can be established at a level something lesser from that of the &4lding Trades but higher than what they are getting; there does not seem to be any equity; the Water Shed Laborers'were moved to $5.54; do ym see any problem with say giving everybody not classifed as a Building Laborer and establishing a single classi- fication; would you have any problem that you can see with creating a problem with the Building Trades, if we took everybody not covered and,'. lumped them into one job title and give them a single'rate at a lesser scale than the Building Trades? In response to a demand from the Tree Trimmer and the Groundsman, Mayor McCarty said they are not going to get the same pay as the Laborer. Frank Rodriguez reappeared and suggested the matter be laid over because sante jurisdictional areas might be affected. He continued that speaking for himself, he would not hesitate to say they should get more money, but he thinks the matter should not be arbitrated now without discussing it with the other Unions. Mr. Louis Del Signore referred to the problem of Foreman receiving less pay than some of the men they supervise. Mr. Haider said the problem stems from the fact that the MEO's and Shovel Operators got salary increase of almost $200.00 a month, whereas the Graded people got $50.00 per month; I think it should be higher than the level they are supervising. The pay of Operators which is $6.78 an hour in relation to Foremen's Pay was discussed. Mr. Del Signore said the Foremen think a minimum of $025 per hour over the Operator should be established for Foreman I; Foremen II'should be 50 over that or $.75 over the Operator, and Foreman III should be 1.25 over the Operator. Mr. Robert Bibeau, Public Works Foreman, said the Foremen have to hire blades and cats and they get considerably higher pay than even the City's Equipmentmen. It was noted this is not a regular practice. Mr. Radman suggested the matter be laid over to next Friday to allow all concerned to get together with Civil Service. Mayor McCarty said he does not think the idea of Louis Del Signore is a bad shot; what has to be resolved is the matter of the one single clas- sification. An unidentified Water Meter Serviceman appeared and commented on the discrepancy in his salary which is $5.10 an hour and the Water Meter Servicemen on the outside, and said he feels they should be getting plumber';s pay. Mayor McCarty suggested a resolution of intent be passed that any ordinance establishing a higher pay scale should be retroactive to May lat., pro- viding it is passed prior to May 1st; he said he thinks this Council can commit itself to any wage increases granted being made retroactive to May 1st. Mr. Raider suggested that all the principals sit down and do the nego- tiating and come back to the Council with their recommendations. Mayor McCarty said they will pick a day and that he, as Chairman of the Personnel Committee, will discuss the matter with Civil Service and the Labor organizations. \The Personnel Committee meeting was adjourned ' and the Council reconvened.. Mayor McCarty suggested a motion to pay any price raises negotiated with City employes regardless of the date they axe legally in ordinance form, retroactive to May lst., and he said the titles should be restricted to Tree Trimmer - Groundsman - Foreman I, II, III - Water Meter Serviceman and Blacksmith -Boiler Maker. It was .so moved. \ Yeah - 4 Bays - G The meeting was thereupon recessed. } 50678 MINUTES OF THE COUNCIL 10:00 A.M. April 25th, 1972.

Hearing was continued to consider an increase in fee schedules at the Pig's Eye Landfill. Mr- Schnarr appeared and said he takes exception to the remarks made last week that employes who made certain estimates were "stupid". Mr. President McCarty again referred to the estimates for equipment and said anyone making such an estimate is stupid. Mr. Schnarr said most of the equipment referred totdid no come eithrou gh landfill fees and is not part of landfill equipmto cally referred to the valuation of 2 pieces of equipment when the matter was \� discussed by Mr. President McCarty and Mr. Schnarr. Mr. President McCarty said the City should also pay a fee for dumping at the landfill and this was discussed. \ Comsr. Tedesco arrived at this point in the meeting. \ Mr. President McCarty said he thinks we have negated the need for further funding and Mr. Schnarr disagreed and said they will not have sufficient funds to cover the landfill to the standards of the Pollution Control Agency. The matter was further discussed by Mr. Schnarr and Mr. President McCarty and the Mayor said there is no need to raise the fees; and Mr. Schnarr said the money will have to come from somewhere. Comsr. Butler asked when we will have accurate figures and she said any increase in fees would reflect back to the consumer. George Oxford, representing the haulers, asked for figures on the amount of fill placed in the landfill by City trucks that the hearing be can further discussion, Comer. Conway tinued one week to May2nd, 1972. It was so ordered. Joseph Charley complained about 12 Public Works trucks standing idle and only used in the winter and also to the purchase of new equipment. Mr. Schonberger explained that the trucks are expensive and too large to be used for hauling and smaller trucks may be purchased and d are main- tained for less money. He said the new trucks being p a. replacement items. Mr. Charley also referred to the sale of plow shoes and also the use of two uni-loaders for a short period of time and then a trade-in, and Mr. Schonberger explained these items to the City Council- 000 hrs- Comsr.
