Developer to Pav Extra Enaineerina Costs for Kenzie Terrace Sianal
17 and Redevelopment Project Chanaes
18 The $1,300.00 bill from Rieke Carroll Muller represented an
19 additional charge to the $8,000 engineering contract for the traffic
20 signals which would be paid from CDBG funds, Mr. Childs told
21 Councilmember Enrooth. He said the engineer's charge for additional
22 services, including the traffic study and planning for a different
23 entrance configuration, had resulted from the engineers meeting with
24 the Gaughan Company to plan for changes in the center median,
25 driveways, sidewalks, handicapped curb aprons, etc. and those costs
26 would eventually have to be paid by the project developer.

34 REPORTS
35 COUNCIL

1 Engstrom Named Officer of the Year by Fridley Knights of Columbus
2 Mayor Sundland said he had attended the appreciation dinner where
3 the BVM Council of the Knights of Columbus had honored Captain
4 Richard Engstrom as St. Anthony's Officer of the Year. The Mayor
5 reported that in addition to the award, Captain Engstrom had been
6 given a choice of charities to whom the Knights would donate
7 $150.00. He said he had been impressed when the recipient chose
8 to split the donation between the Red Cross and the Salvation Army
9 because both organizations "had given so much help to the St.
10 Anthony community after the 1984 tornado."
11 Mayor Sundland asked Councilmember Ranallo, who is Grand Knight of
12 the Fridley Knights of Columbus Council, to convey his own and the
13 rest of the Council's gratitude for this recognition of the City
14 Police Department.
15 Makowske Percei
16 Area Plua in Tr
17 Councilmember Makowske passed around a copy of the latest AAA travel
18 guide which touted the north Minneapolis area as a good vacation
19 choice, saying she suspected this might be one of the first efforts
20 by the Association to gain more recognition for the northern
21 metropolitan area. In the same regard, Mayor Sundland reported
22 arrangements have been made to have Brooklyn Park Mayor Krautkremer
23 appear before the Council in February to lobby support for an
24 increased Association budget to continue those efforts.
25 Ranallo Reports Busy Schedule for Gopher One Call System Board
26 Members
27 The Board of Directors for the above organization has been very
28 active, Councilmember Ranallo said, setting up and taking bids for
29 this legislative mandated system. The organization is responsible
30 for identifying all underground utility, natural gas and oil lines
31 and providing such information to anyone who seeks permission to dig
32 anywhere in the state, thereby avoiding ruptures similar to that
33 which occurred in MoundsView. The Councilmember said the Board on
34 which he serves has been meeting with representatives of the area's
35 utility companies in an attempt to computerize all available grid
36 information. However, the problem still remains to identify
37 underground lines like the gas line the City encountered when they
38 were rebuilding St. Anthony Boulevard which no one knew anything
39 about. Even gas grills which residents put in, with or without the
40 gas company's knowledge, pose special problems for the system, he
41 added. The Board is now ready to take bids on the system and the
42 Councilmember indicated he anticipated there would be a lot of
43 activity from now on starting with an informational meeting in Grand
44 Rapids the following day.

1 Marks Reports Beneficial Youth Service Bureau Retreat
2 There were a number
of municipal
officials who participated in the
3 above the weekend of
January 15th
the Councilmember indicated. He
4 said one of the most
helpful issues
which was pursued was the
5 perception that Boards
should give
better directions regarding the
6 main thrust of their
organizations
to the membership. In response
7 to these inadequacies,
the YSB will
set up a program of position
8 descriptions so board
members will
know exactly what is expected of
9 them.
10 Councilmember Marks indicated he expected to be on jury duty for
11 several more weeks.
12 DEPARTMENTS AND COMMITTEES
13 Before the Hance & LeVahn report on cases they had prosecuted at
14 Hennepin County District Court on January 6th was ordered filed,
15 Councilmember Marks commented he was glad to see the Court require
16 at least some payment of the City's costs.
17 CITY MANAGER REPORTS
18 January 22, 1988 Staff Meeting Notes
19 *During the consideration of the 1988 goals adopted by the Fire
20 Department, Mr. Childs indicated the proposed $7,500 expenditure
21 for an air compressor to replenish the oxygen in the Department's
22 air masks and resuscitators would have to be considered in some
23 future budget session.
24 *In reference to the Police Chief Hickerson's observations related
25 to the school district's deferring maintenance items in antici-
26 pation of the potential transfer of Parkview's ownership, the
27 Manager indicated staff was documenting all deferred items which
28 would have to be taken care of before the City would take over the
29 building.
30 *Mr. Nelson's recommendations related to a joint grand opening for
31 the new Stonehouse restaurant and liquor warehouse operations were
32 explored briefly with arguments made for more exposure through
33 several events. Mr. Childs indicated he would relay these concerns
34 to the Liquor Manager who he was certain would be open to any
35 Council suggestions. Councilmember Enrooth suggested restaurant
36 and liquor store patrons might have to compete for the same parking
37 spaces when both operations are running at full capacity. The
38 Mayor agreed, saying Mr. Nelson had told him Mr. Manning antici-
39 pated business in his St. Anthony restaurant might surpass his
40 other two southeast Minneapolis locations.
41 Liquor Warehouse Addition Expected to be Completed by End of Week
1 Mr. Childs said he had determined the above was possible after a
2
marathon
meeting January 21st with the architect and the
3
contractor.
During that meeting Fulco had agreed to reduce the
4
contract
costs by $4,500 to cover the project delays and the extra
5
rent the
City had to pay in the other location because of those
6
delays.
The Manager said concessions were also negotiated with the
7
architect
to cover plan errors, one of which was the installation of
8
the fire
protection ceiling soffit which appeared as Item 5 in the
9
Contract
Change Order before the Council that evening. He indicated
10
the City
would be reimbursed $160.00 by BWBR for overlooking that
it
item in
the original plan and the architect would have to pay part
12
of the $310.00
it cost to return the doors to the factory to get
13
holes drilled
for the mortise locks.
14 Mr. Childs recommended the Council approve the Change Order with the
15 understanding that another would be issued to cover the costs of the
16 door openers and closers as well as the extension of the project
17 completion date to January 29th (or the date that happens). Some
18 retainage should also be expected to cover concrete work to be done
19 next spring. He also assured Councilmember Makowske the City had
20 gotten certification that all the subcontractors had been paid.
21 Council Action
22 Motion by Ranallo, seconded by Makowske to approve payment of Change
23 Order 04 for $550.00 on the Stonehouse liquor warehouse addition.
24 Motion carried unanimously.
25 April 12th Board of Review Scheduled
26 Motion by Ranallo, seconded by Marks to schedule the St. Anthony
27 Board of Review to be held at 6:30 P.M. prior to the regularly
28 scheduled Council meeting, April 12, 1988.
29 Motion carried unanimously.
30 February 23rd Precinct C
31 Council Meeting
32 Mr. Childs had included copies of the notice regarding the precinct
33 caucuses in the Council's agenda packets and pointed out that the
34 Council meeting scheduled for the same evening would include not
35 only the report on the February 16th Planning Commission meeting but
36 also what could be a very detailed report on the community survey
37 taken in December. He said he understood the latter might be
38 especially interesting because the surveyors had already reported
39 finding St. Anthony residents with "varied but very strong
40 opinions" on many of the issues the survey covered.
41 Council Action
N
1 Motion by Ranallo, seconded by Makowske to reschedule the Council's
2 second meeting in February to 7:30 P.M., February 24th, in
3 compliance with the state law forbidding other official meetings
4 to be held after 6:00 P.M. the evening of the caucuses.
5 Motion carried unanimously.
6 Long Term Planning and Goal Setting Retreat to be Held February 26-
7 27th
8 During the discussion of the above, Councilmember Marks reiterated
9 that although he would be able to attend the Friday evening session,
10 the class he would be teaching on Saturday would prevent him from
11 attending that session.
12 NEW BUSINESS
13 DENNIS MURPHY AND TOM GOULD TO REPRESENT THE CITY ON NORTH SUBURBAN

Gould continuing to serve for one year as alternate under the
18
