Councilman Baumgartner's Report
Councilman Baumgartner announced there would be a Recreation meeting on
February 22nd at 7:00 P.M. He invited interested citizens to come to the
meeting and hopefully they would become members.
Councilman Hodges asked how soon the Park Bond issue could be brought before the
people again. Attorney Meyers did not think there was a time limit but he would
check to make sure.
Councilman Pickar's Report
Councilman Pickar announced that Barbara Haake had received a letter from the
Anoka County Superintendent of Parks in reference to her letter on Fridley
creating a new beach on Spring Lake, stating that Fridley has an outstanding
park program. Councilman Pickar stated that that isn't the major issue here,
but rather the problem that more pollution will be created with the addition of
another swimming beach on Spring Lake. A meeting will be held on February 28th
which Mrs. Haake will attend. Mayor Neisen stated that it was encouraging that
Fridley wanted to get together and talk it over. He suggested that perhaps
another date could be set so all could get together and meet since February 28th
is a Council night.
Mr. Ted Moore asked if there was any chance of getting more "free" time for
hockey at Lambert Park. At the present time there is so much scheduled hockey
that the rest of the young boys don't have any chance to use the rink. He felt
with more "free" time for hockey there would be less chance for the boys to get
into trouble with the police. Councilman Baumgartner stated that it is a
difficult situation but he would try to remedy it at least by next year by
trying to schedule the Lake Region Hockey at different times leaving more "free"
time for dther boys.
Inspector Skiba - No report.
Councilman Johnson asked Mr. Skiba if the occupancy certificate for the 90 unit
apartment building at 5445 Jackson Drive had been granted. Mr. Skiba said no.
Mr. Skiba said that fire sensors still had to be installed and steel thresholds,
which is a state requirement, had to be put in before the building could be occupied.
He said there were eight families living in the apartment including the caretakers.
Attorney Meyers stated that he still had not received the street easements or the
covenants which had to be redrafted before they could be filed due to the change
of ownership. Councilman Baumgartner stated that they had long ago had a
conversation with Brama and Babinski about what had to be done. Attorney Meyers
stated that the building should be tagged because they were in violation of our
building code since a certificate of completion had not been issued yet and they
were allowing people to move in. Only the caretakers were given permission to
occupy the building, one in each wing. Attorney Meyers stated he would contact
the attorney for Brama and Babindci again.
