6 Chairman Faust inquired if anyone from Apache Plaza management
7 will be attending the Public Hearing. Urbia responded he had
8 faxed information regarding the conditional use permit request
9 and the Planning Commission meeting to the management office
10 and was advi sed that no one at the of f ice saw a need to be
11 present .
12
13 Urbia distributed a letter received from Dennis Cavanaugh,
14 President of the C. G. Rein Company, who owns Apache Plaza. In
15 the letter Mr . Cavanaugh stated the company' s support of the
16 approval of the conditional use permit to operate a game room
17 with kiddie rides and games . It was also noted in the letter
18 that the lease for Sheik ' s Garden Restaurant ' s right to
19 operate kiddie games and rides would be terminated if there
20 appears to be any problems resulting from the clientele using
21 this equipment .
22
23 The Public Hearina was opened at 7 : 35 p.m.
24
25 Chairman Faust read the public notice which appeared in the
26 February 5th edition of the Bulletin regarding the Public
27 Hearing.
028
29 Urbia, referring to his memo dated February 12 , 1992 to the
30 Planning Commission Members , noted that only the factual
31 information regarding this request and the history of Council
32 action i-n the past , was being presented. No staff
33 recommendation is being made regarding Planning Commission
34 action on this matter .
35
36 The conditional use permit request , from Adel Alwan, the owner
37 of Sheik '.s Garden Restaurant , is for approval to have more
38 than three amusement devices at that location. The conditional
39 use permit is necessary as Mr. Alwan proposes to have up to 30
40 amusement devices .
41
42 Mr. Alwan ' s proposed plan would allow him to generate
43 additional revenue in the older, rear portion of the
44 restaurant . A plan for. this area was submitted with his
45 request . Booths will be removed for this arcade and to
46 accommodate the amusement devices . The front portion of the
47 restaurant has already been renovated.
48
49 Urbia ' s memo noted that the three conditions for approval of
50 a conditional use permit have been satisifed if Mr. Alwan
51 follows through on his intentions as stated in answering the
52 three questions .
3
4 Staff made five recommendations for the Planning Commission ' s
1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
• 2 FEBRUARY 18 , 1992
3 PAGE 3
4
5
6 consideration to be made in conjunction with the approval of
7 the conditional use permit . They are as follows :
8
9 1 . The arcade shall prohibit tobacco, alcohol , and drugs on
10 the premises .
11
12 2 . The arcade shall prohibit individuals under the influence
13 of tobacco, alcohol , and/or drugs .
14
15 3 . Proper supervision should be available at all times to
16 ensure appropriate conduct and behavior.
17
18 4 . The access from kitchen to dining area shall be segregated
19 to ensure safety.
20
21 5 . The number of amusement devices allowed will be dependent
22 upon the available number of amusement device licenses and
23 available space within the area designated on the proposed
24 plan.
25
26 Urbia advised that the current amusement device licensing
27 ordinance allows the owner of the amusement devices to hold.
•28 the licenses . The holding of licenses presents a problem to
29 those who would like to operate amusement devices since the
30 City has a limit of 106 licenses . Also, the City has limited
31 control over amusement devices when they are licensed to their
32 owner who can transfer them to other locations .
33
34 Ordinance No. 92-001 had its first reading at the February 11 ,
35 1992 Council Meeting. This ordinance would allow only the.
36 operator of the amusement device establishment to apply for
37 and hold the license and no more than thirty-five devices
.38 would be allowed in one location .
39
40 Urbia advised the Planning Commission members that staff had
41 discussed this conditional use permit request and reached some
. 42 conclusions . The Police Chief does not anticipate any .major
43 problems with the operation of these devices . It was noted
44 that since they will be located in a mall , rather than in a
45 freestanding building, some patrol schedules may have to be
46 changed. Also, they will be located next to a municipal liquor
47 site .
48
49 Franzese observed that Dennis Cavanaugh has transferred twenty
50 amusement device licenses . She inquired how many are left .
51 Urbia responded that thirty-four are left but Ordinance No.
52 1992-001 will change this situation. She also inquired how
53 many licenses are currently left at this point in time. Urbia
1054 said there are only five left but some are being held by their
t 1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING

6 owners and are not being used.
. 7
8 Madden wanted to know the whereabouts of the amusement device
9 licenses for the machines which were previously located in the
10 Malt Shop. Urbia was not sure of where these were.
11
12 Murphy wondered why there was a limit of 106 licenses .
13 Franzese stated that the time the ordinance was drafted there
14 were already 106 licenses out .
15
16 Faust noted that all licenses are reissued in March of each
17 year. He felt that theoretically the thirty four held by the
18 Rein Company may not be renewed.
19
20 Murphy inquired if the Fire Chief had viewed the floor plan
21 submitted for the Restaurant . Urbia noted that the Fire Chief
22 had viewed the plan and saw no problems , but the plan will be
23 reviewed by the Building Inspector .
24
25 Mr. Alwan advised the Planning Commission he is responding to
26 customer requests by installing kiddie rides and amusement
27 devices . His intention is to have a family-oriented operation.
28
030 9 Franzese inquired if only customers of the restaurant will be
allowed to use the games or could people come into the area
31 who do not plan to eat and play the games . Mr. Alwan responded
32 it would not be necessary to be a patron of the restaurant to
33 play the games .
34
35 Mr. Alwan plans to have eight kiddie rides and the rest of the
36 amusements would be video games . He does not intend to put in
37 a pool table as he envisions this as a potential for problems .
38
39 Chairman Faust noted that Mr. Alwan is requesting permission
40 for thirty games . He observed that Dennis Cavanaugh referred
41 to permitting only twenty games . Mr. Alwan stated :that twenty
42 would not be enough and feels that Dennis Cavanaugh plans to
43 keep the rest of the licenses for his own use.
44
45 Franzese was concerned . with rules enforcement and the
46 methodology Mr . Alwan planned to .institute to keep order .
47
48 Mr . Alwan advised that someone on the staff will always be in
49 the area to monitor. He stated he wants a successful operation
50 and avoid problems which were experienced in the shopping
51 center previously.
52
53 Werenicz inquired if he intends to serve wine as he has a wire
�4 license . Mr . Alwan noted that the wine and beer license
1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
• 2 FEBRUARY 18 , 1992
3 PAGE 5
4
5
6 expires March 15th and he does not intend to renew it . He will
7 . have alcohol and tobacco prohibitions in the entire operation .
8
9 The floor plan which was submitted by Mr . Alwan was reviewed.
10 It was noted that there will be no entrance from the outside -
11 of . the building. The hours will be from Noon to 10 : 00 p.m.
12 Presently, the operation closes at 8 : 30 p.m. The shopping mall
13 closes at 9 : 00 p .m. The door of the restaurant to the mall
14- will be closed when the mall closes .
15
16 Franzese noted that the former owner of the Malt Shop was in
17 attendance at the Planning Commission Meeting. She inquired if
18 he had anything to offer regarding this operation. He stated
19 he would not like to comment although he has some strong
20 opinions regarding his experience with the shopping mall
21 management and its security.
22
23 He felt the parking lot activities were perceived as his
24 responsibility. It was his opinion if the shopping mall
25 security had been more cooperative he could have avoided many
26 of the problems which he experienced and his operation could
27 have been successful .
•28
29 Murphy inquired how many video machines were in the Malt Shop.
30 He was advised there had been forty-nine.
31
32 Franzese inquired if Mr. Alwan had considered the negative
33 experiences had by the owner of the Malt Shop especially
34. regarding teenage activities , alcohol , etc . Mr . Alwan
35 suggested his operation would draw a different clientele and
36 he anticipated no similar problems .
37
38 Gondorchin inquired if Mr . Alwan had operated any other type
39 of establishment where amusement devices were part of the
40 operation. Mr. Alwan responded he had run the St . Anthony Fun
41 Center which attracted a clientele that was difficult to
42 manage . He feels the new location at Apache Plaza will attract
43 families and the rules of conduct will be easier to
44 administer .
45
46 Franzese inquired if the Fun Center operation will be
47 continuing. Mr . Alwan stated his partner may continue the
48 business but he is not sure. The twenty video games licensed
49 at the Fun Center will be transferred to Sheik ' s Garden
50 Restaurant .'
51
52 Werenicz complimented the former owner of the Malt Shop . He
�53 noted that the condition of meeting annually with staff and
54 the police chief had been met and police calls and

7 disturbances had been regularly reviewed.
8
9 Franzese, noting that Mr . Alwan intends to have eight kiddie
10 games and eighteen video games , suggested that the atmosphere
11 may be rather loud for a family dining situation . She also
12 noted that since the game area is separate from the dining
13 area this may become a hangout for game users . Mr . Alwan cited
14 one of the rules of the operation will be "proper conduct and
15 behavior. " He intends to make these rules effective.
16
17 The Public Hearina was closed at 8 : 15 p.m.
18
19 Motion by Franzese, second by Werenicz to recommend approval
20 of the request from Mr . Alwan for a conditional use permit for
21 a maximum of thirty amusement devices at the Sheik 's Garden
22 Restaurant , 3800 Apache Plaza, because the proposal meets the
23 criteria for granting a conditional use permit with the
24 understanding that the Ordinance No. 1992-001 is going to be
25 approved that will make it easier for the City to monitor ;
26 that the hours will be no later than 10 : 00 p.m. ; plus the five
27 conditions as recommended by staff ; plus an annual review by
•28 City staff , the Police Chief and the restaurant owner to look
29 at complaints generated by the restaurant , both inside and
30 outside .
31
32 Gondorchin concurred with the motion, but added that the
33 Apache Plaza security should be more responsive to calls from
34 the shopping center ' s tenants .
35
36 Franzese requested that City staff contact Dennis Cavanaugh
37 directly regarding some of the comments the Planning
38 Commission received at tonight ' s meeting about security at
39 Apache Plaza.
40
41 Urbia advised that these licenses cost $130 . 00 . If Mr. Alwan
42 wants more than thirty then he would have to come back to the
43 Planning Commission to make that request .
44
45 Murphy inquired what actions would be taken by the City if
46 this situation at this restaurant becomes troublesome .
47 Werenicz felt the staff and police chief would review the
48 details of the complaints and probably recommend. revoking the
49 conditional use permit and pulling of the licenses .
50
51 Motion carried unanimously
52
53 Chairperson Faust advised Mr . Alwan that this matter will be
�4 on the March 10th Council Meeting agenda and he was

10 A. Government Training Center (GTS ) Workshop
11
12 On February 13 , 1992 or March 14 , 1992 the Government
13 Training Service is offering an Annual Planning Institute
14 which will address "The Basics . "
15
16 Chairman Faust noted that all commissioners have attended .
17 a workshop sponsored by the Government Training Service
18 and found them very worthwhile. He inquired if funds are
19 available to attend any other workshops sponsored by this
20 organization . Urbia will get this information from the
21 City Manager .
22
23 Urbia requested any commissioners interested in attending
24 this workshop or any others to advise him and he will
25 make the necessary reservations . Gondorchin stated his
26 intention to attend the March 14th workshop.
27
•28 B. Selection of Sponsor for New Planning Commission Member
29
30 Chairman Faust had requested this item be included on the
31 agenda. His purpose is for the newly-appointed member of
32 the Planning Commission to have someone on the Commission
33 act as his/her mentor. He recalled when he was appointed,
34 he found the assistance of the Assistant to the City
35 Manager very helpful . This mentor would act as a
36 "welcomer" to the Commission and help in bringing him/her
37 up to speed on the business of the Commission .
38
39 Madden felt this mentor may influence the newly-appointed
40 member . Murphy felt Dave Urbia could be very helpful by
41 reviewing past activities of the Commission and by going
42 over the procedures of a typical meeting.
43
44 Madden felt the Planning Commission Chair could serve as
45 a mentor . Chairman Faust indicated his willingess to do
46 this .
47
48 Werenicz stated he had not felt that new appointees have
49 been reticent to par.ticipate and that a mentor was not
50 really necessary if. the Chair was willing to acclimate
51 the appointee to the procedures .
52
53 Urbia noted that no applications for the Planning
1054 Commission appointment have been received.

6 C. Staff Report - Liaht Industrial Uses in a General
7 Commercial Zone
8
9 Urbia referred to his memo dated February 5 , 1992 which
10 gave information received from other first ring suburbs
11 regarding their commercial zone uses . He noted that this
12 situation developed from a request received from a print
13 shop wishing to locate in the Apache Squares strip mall .
14
15 He gave the pros and cons regarding a conditional use
16 permit or a "C-1" zoning district and "C-2" where us.es
17 such as the request for Apache Squares would be allowed.
18
19 Murphy inquired if there are any other locations in the
20 City where a "C-2" zoning could be designated.
21
22 Urbia responded that the St . Anthony Shopping Center was
23 too close to residential , but one location where it could
24 be allowed was at the northeast corner of 37th Avenue and
25 Silver Lake Road.
26
27 Gondorchin felt the Planning Commission should take a
8 "wait and see" posture depending on whether CUB locates
9 a grocery store in the area of Apache Squares . He felt
30 the rentals in Apache Squares would really flourish if
31 CUB locates near there.
32
33 Werenicz felt this was a unique location and it may not
34 be affected by a CUB store because of the visibility.
35
36 Urbia suggested it may be preferable to amend the zoning
37 ordinance to allow this tenant a conditional use permit .
38 He inquired if the Planning Commission would be agreeable
39 to having staff help this business by allowing it to
40 locate in this spot .
41
42 Chairman Faust felt this may be starting a whole new
43 situation for the City to deal with.
44
45 Urbia observed that if this business had retail located
46 in the front of the store, then any activity could be
47 conducted in the back relating to the business .
48
49 Madden noted that when this strip mall was first
50 approved, the Planning Commission had understood all of
51 the tenants would be retail .
52
53 Urbia said that for a short term this would be a sign and
�4 banner making operation . Chairman Faust felt staff was
1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
2 FEBRUARY 18 , 1992
3 PAGE 9
4
5
6 attempting to tailor the ordinance to accommodate this
7 business . Urbia responded the intention was to loosen up
8 the ordinance to accommodate a variety of businesses .
9
10 In his memo, Urbia noted that the general "C" section of -
11 the zoning ordinance could be amended in a manner that
12 would conditionally permit certain light industrial uses
13 in limited areas . A new zoning district could be created
14 ( "C-1" ) which would permit everything that is currently
15 permitted in "C" and conditionally permit light
16 industrial type uses such as silk screen shops , printing
17 shops , non-retail office, etc . .
18
19 Franzese recalled when this matter was previously
2.0 discussed there was concern with delivery trucks which
21 would not fit well with retail businesses .
22
23 Gondorchin still felt CUB would be a traffic generator
24 and that it would benefit this strip mall . He again
25 suggested that the "wait and see" posture be taken .
26
27 Chairman Faust noted that Urbia is requesting a consensus
.28 position of the Planning Commission on this matter . He
29 felt the Commission members are not too excited to do a
30 new "C-1" district nor any conditional uses .
31
32 Madden felt the Commission was groping not to make a
33 decision and inquired if this conditional use is
34 something that can be lived with.
35
36 Chairman Faust felt the people seeking direction deserve
37 an answer.
38
39 Madden recalled the two deteriorated buildings located at
40 the St . Anthony Shopping Center which were refurbished
41 and still did not generate traffic .
42
43 Chairman Faust felt the philosophy of the Planning
44 Commission had long been not to change the City' s zoning
45 ordinance.
46
47 Gondorchin felt this was a one time opportunity to help
48 someone out .
49
50 Murphy referred to the types of uses employed by other
51 cities cited in Urbia ' s memo . He suggested that the
52 Planning Commission consider some way to write the zoning
�553 ordinance which would allow for some uses and still
4 maintain some control .
1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING

3 PAGE 10

5
6 Chairman Faust observed that the four cities referred, to
7 in Urbia ' s memo were not stellar examples of successful
8 planning in his opinion. He does not support changing the
9 ordinance nor the staff recommendation .
10
11 D. Background Readina - Sian Ordinances for Small and Medium
12 Sized Communities
13
14 Madden noted he did not have time to thoroughly review
15 the material in the background reading regarding the sign
16 ordinances . Werenicz noted he has not completed his
17 reading.
18
19 Gondorchin felt 'the material was very thorough and the
20 information presented did not handcuff the staff .
21
22 Urbia stated that conformance to the sign ordinance will
23 not be accomplished in a short .period of time. He felt
24 the administration of the ordinance should be conducted
25 slowly and especially in light of the economic problems
26 being experienced presently.
27
28 Chairman Faust noted that eventually everyone must
29 conform to the sign ordinance and no "grandfathering" in
30 of present non-conforming signs should be allowed.
31
32 Franzese inquired what was the source for this
33 information. Urbia responded it came from the American
34 Planning Association. _
35
36 7 . STAFF UPDATE
37
38 Chairman Faust had requested that staff be prepared to review
39 any old business of the Planning Commission so its members can
40 be current with what has transpired.
41
42 Urbia advised that there is only one vacancy at the Stop 'N'
43 Shop on 38th Avenue and Stinson Boulevard. He noted that this
44 operation has contracted with Conoco rather than the other
45 company as stated in their f irst request . He wi 11 fol low up on
46 the square footage of the sign as approved.
47
48 Urbia stated that the first draft of the sign ordinance will
49 be available in March.
50
51 Urbia said that the CUB proposal is still "alive. " Their
52 proposal is to remove the present grocery store which is
53 100 , 000 square feet , add onto the building and. rebuild with a
54 67 , 000 square foot addition. They have also indicated an

TO: Planning Commission Members
FROM: , David Mark Urbia, Management Assistant
ITEM: APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following report is regarding a request from Adel Alwan for a conditional use permit
to allow for more than three amusement devices at Sheik's Garden Restaurant, Inc.; 3800
Apache Plaza.
The conditional use permit is necessary as Mr. Alwan proposes to have 23 amusement
devices. According to the Zoning Ordinance, Appendix I, Section 9, Subdivision 3(14),
an establishment is permitted to have more than three amusement devices (as defined
in Section 510:05) only by conditional use permit. Mr. Alwan was before the Planning
Commission in February to request a conditional use permit to allow up to 30 amusement
devices. The Planning Commission approved the request unanimously under certain
conditions. The City Council, at its March 10th meeting, did not approve the request by
a 3 to 2 vote.
Mr. Alwan's proposed plan (see attached drawing) would allow him to generate additional
revenue in the older, rear portion of the restaurant. The front portion of the restaurant
has been renovated. Mr. Alwan proposes rules that he believes will create a family
atmosphere. In addition, Mr. Alwan will have-8 amusement devices solely for children.
The remaining 15 amusement devices will be video devices for both children and
adults.The three conditions are satisfied for this conditional use permit, if the owner
carries out the intent stated in answering the -conditions. The Planning Commission
should consider adding the following conditions in conjunction with recommending
approval of the conditional use permit:
(1) The arcade shall prohibit tobacco, alcohol, and drugs on the premises.
(2) The arcade shall prohibit individuals under the influence of tobacco, alcohol,
and/or drugs.
(3) Proper supervision should be available at all times to ensure appropriate
conduct and behavior.
(4) The access from kitchen to dining area shall be segregated to ensure
safety.
1
(5) The number of amusement devices allowed will be dependant upon the
available number of amusement device licenses and available space within
the area designated on the proposed plan.
- (6) The hours for the arcade will be no later than 10:00 P.M.
(7) The process of an annual review consisting of City staff, the Police Chief,
and the restaurant owner to review complaints generated by the restaurant,
both inside. and outside the establishment.
(8) The arcade shall consist of 23 amusement devices, of which 8 will be solely
for children and 15 will be video devices for both children and adults.

FROM: David Mark Urbia, Management Assistant
ITEM: "STOP-N-SHOP SUPERETTE" SIGN VARIANCE REQUEST
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following report is regarding a sign variance request from Mr. James Sarna and Mr.
William Vogt from Stop -N- Shop Superette, Inc., 1847 Johnson Street Northeast,
Minneapolis, which requires variances for number of signs and location.
BACKGROUND
-A sign variance has been previously approved for the applicants to have a pylon sign
with the Stop-N- Shop sign and gasoline brand signs. Originally, the request was for two
Phillips 66 signs (44" by 44"). The current request is for two Conoco signs (2' by 6') to
be placed on the north and south ends of the canopy, on the side closest to the road.
In the Sign Ordinance, 430.15, Subd. 5, a canopy is defined as a permanent roof
structure attached to and supported by the building. There is no provision for a canopy
sign that is being requested. In addition, Section 430.40, Subd. 9(b)(2) of the Sign
Ordinance allows for a pylon sign for a gas station to have brand identification signs. If
the Conoco 'signs were to be allowed upon the canopy, there would be no brand
identification signs on the pylon sign, hence the pylon sign would be nonconforming.
RECOMMENDATION
The application does not meet the three conditions. Further, it is a sea change in
direction from the variance allowed only a few months previous.

St. Anthony, Minnesota
We originally came before the St. Anthony City Council . and received
approval for Stop-N-Shop Superette to have a Phillips 66 sign placed
below our sign located on the pole.
At the time we came before the Council we didn't know there would be
a problem with Phillip 66, as we already have there sign placed on our
pole at our other locations .
When we got back to Phillip 66, we were advised that they no longer
agreed to having their sign placed.below our3due to a new policy.
We have now approached Conoco Oil Company, since it was originally a
Conoco Station. Conoco has stated that they are interested in having
their brand sign placed on our canopy and not on the pole. The square
footage of their sign would be smaller than the proposed Phillipp 66
sign would have been.
We are therefore requesting a variance to have the Conoco Logo sign
placed on our canopy.
Would you please review our request and advise us accordingly.
Respectfully,
amen Sarna William Vogt

ITEM: ST. ANTHONY CLEANERS & LAUNDERERS, LTD. -
CONCEPT REVIEW
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The site was purchased recently by Mr. Yash Patel of Plymouth. Mr. Patel will be opening
a dry cleaning service at this site. In addition, Mr. Patel has an innovative idea in having
drive through convenience. According to Mr. Patel, this concept is popular in California,
but not present in Minnesota. The means in which Mr. Patel proposed to have drive
through service at the current site (see attached drawing) would not work for two
reasons: (1) traffic flow and (2) parking requirements from ordinance.
City staff met with Mr. Patel in trying to find solutions to the Mr. Patel's desire to have
drive through service, while addressing parking and traffic flow concerns. One idea
discussed would put a drive through around the building, requiring the following changes:
(1) the back of the lot to be filled in, (2) obtaining easement or' ownership to
approximately six feet of Rapid Oil Change's property, and (3) moving an utility pole.
Another idea discussed was to provide parking in the rear portion of the building, which
would require this area to be filled in. This option would provide six parking spaces at
best. The ordinance would require nine spaces (1 space per 300 square feet -- 36' x 69'
= 2,484 sq. ft./300 sq. ft. = 8.28 or 9).
would like input from the Planning Commission on any other ideas in order to assist Mr..
Patel. I would also like an indication on the Planning Commission accepting a variance
for three parking spaces.

6 Councilmember Wagner noted he briefly addressed the tax
7 increment situation at Apache Plaza . He felt this was
8 necessary so it would be understood the City was not
9 responsible if the CUB negotiations fell through.
10
11 He felt the "theatre" deal was back on which was also
12 indicated by Mr. Cavanaugh.
13
14 Councilmember Wagner discussed the situation which has
15 developed with the Sheik ' s Garden Restaurant owner, Mr.
16 Alwan, with other merchants in Apache Plaza. He noted
17 that no concern was expressed.
18
19 He also met Mr. Alwan to discuss his intentions. for the
20 future of the restaurant . Mr . Alwan stated he has filed
21 to reappear for a request for a conditional use permit .
22 He indicated he is willing to discuss a three month
23 "trial " period with a reduced number of video games and
24 an increased number of kiddie machines . He again stated
25 he intends to have a family-oriented business . Mr. Alwan
26 observed that there are twelve video games in the bowling
27 alley on the lower level of Apache Plaza Shopping Center .
28
29
30 The City Manager noted he had advised Mr. Alwan to not
31 attend this Council Meeting in that there would only be

33 - -- _
34 Mayor Ranallo has received many phone calls from ..
35 residents complimenting the Council ' s denial of the
36 conditional use permit request .
37
38 Councilmember Wagner stated that Mr. Alwan is now
39 planning on reversing the location of the games on the
40 site plan. He will have eight video games and eight
41 kiddie machines alternately placed.
42
43 The City Manager felt a public hearing on this matter
44 would be prudent to receive public comment . The Mayor
45 agreed and felt Mr. Alwan should go through the complete
46 process.
47
48 Councilmember Wagner noted that Mr. Alwan felt pool
49 tables would attract an undesirable element and he is not

19 districts or townships .
20
21 The Mayor noted that residents must realize that property

44
45 Commissioner Murphy represented the Planning Commission
46 at this Council Meeting.
47
48 Commissioner Murphy stated that the minutes of the
49 Planning Commission Meeting of Februray 18 , 1992 were
50 included in the Council agenda packet .
` 1
J
52 He referred to the .minutes which addressed the request
�i from Shie*- ' s Garden Restaurant for a conditional use
54 permit . He rioted that the Planning Comm. SSi is

3 PAGE 6

6 recommending approval of the conditional use permit
7 request as it meets the three conditions required for
8 approval in the opinion of the members of the Commission .
9
10
11 Mr . Alwan, owner of Sheik ' s Garden Restaurant , is
12 considering having up to thirty amusement devices in his
13 operation. Presently, he is allowed only three . Mr . Alwan
14 had stated at the Commission Meeting these amusement
15 devices would afford him an opportunity to generate more
16 revenue in the older , rear portion of his restaurant . He
17 felt these devices would be in keeping with his business
is which will focus on families .
19
20 Commissioner Murphy observed that if Ordinance No . 1992-
21 001 were approved, it would be much easier to monitor the
22 operation . This ordinance would allow only the operator
23 of the establishment to hold the licenses to the
24 amusement devices with nc more than thirty-five devices
25 being allowed in one location .
26
27 Staff had also :Wade recommendations for five conditions •
28 for granting approval of this request . They are as
29 follows :
30
31 1 . The arcade shall prohibit tob-acco , alcoh•_i , and
32 drugs on the premises .
33
34 2 . The arcade shall prohibit individuals under the
3_5 influence of tobacco, alcohol or drugs .
36
37 3 . Proper supervision should be available at all times
38 to ensure appropriate conduct and behavior .
39
40 4 . The access from kitchen to dining area shall be
41 segregated to ensure safety.
42
43 5 . The number of amusement devices allowed will be
44 dependent_ upon the available number of amusement
45 device licenses and available space within the area
46 designated on the proposed plan .
47
48 Commissioner Murphy noted that the five recommendations
49 of staff were included in the recommendation for approval
50 from the Planning Commission . Also , included in the
�1 Commission ' s recommendation was to require an annual
52 review by the Police Chief and staff with the owner . The
5? history of police calls and disturbances as well as •
54 complaints would be reviewed .

6 This annual review had been in place with a business
7 which previously operated amusement devices in Apache
g Plaza .
G
1� Marks inquired what the Planning Commission recommended
11 for action if there were problems generated by these
12 devices .
13
14 Commissioner Murphy responded that he had made a similar
15 inquiry at the Planning Commission meeting. It was
16 determined that if the annual review reflected continued
17 troublesome activity the conditional use permit could be
18 revoked as could the licenses for the amusemen-t devices .
19
2^ T,:E City Manager felt it would be rather difficult to
21 re,,oke a cord_ tiona: use permit but probably be easier to
2.2 revoke a Permit .
4.
2 Marks inquired if a one year rime l imi t coulC. Yi3Ce`_
25 on the conditionaI use permit for batter contro_ . The
2E City Ma agar felt this 4-as a possibility and had beer.
7 done wit r. a previous coed i t icnal use perr.:i t issued for a
bins i.":ess in Apachle Plaza .
29
30 ?n-- mayor recalled that "prcbah.12 cause" had t4 Shot't:
3 _ to t a k 2 this action and t:":1s could never d-Dre
3� satisfactorily .
33
34 Commissioner Murphy noted that much frustration was
35 experienced by the owner of the Malt Shop with the lack
36 of coopertion fro: the shopping mall security personnel .
?S The City Manager stated that the Police Chief has
39 indicated he will most likely have to alter the patrol
40 schedule to accommodate more patrolling rounds of the
41 area if this. request is approved.
42
43 Wagner inquired what the mix of amusement devices would
44 be . Commissioner Murphy responded that Mr . Alwan intends
45 to have eight kiddie rides with the remainder being video
46 games . All of the video games will be in the back area of
47 the establishment according to the sketchy floor plan
46 submitted by the owner . It was noted that the remodelling
49 indicated on the site plan is not yet done.
50
51 Wagner noted that video ga:r:es focus on tee:-:Gcers ar:d
52 inquired what age group the amuserr:ent devices is

6 Mr . Alwan stated that he is focusing on youngsters from
7 five to fifteen: .
8
9 Don Tonnell , a resident of St . Anthony , spoke in support
1C of approval of the conditional use permit . He noted he is
11 in the shopping mall frequently and feels this type of
12 operation will be beneficial for the businesses located
13 there .
14
15 The City Manager advised that some of the site plan has
16 changed somewhat . The location of the games will not be
17 as close to the kitchen as indicated in the site plan to
13 avoid problems with food service . The games will be in
1 ° front of the o-.:--rat -ion . Staff was not concerned wit^ the
2� location of the games but this can be made part of the
21 conditional use permit .
22
23 Marks inquired w'1,1-:, I.- the hours of operation were planned .
24 Mr . Alwan responded that they will be from 10 : 00 a .m. to
25 10 : 00 1) -M. which are different from the hours of
26 operation of A-pache Piaza . Mr . Alwan felt this would pose
27 no problems as the business has its own entrance . Fe
2 Mated he w: i l hire police if there is a need.
3C The Ma yor _::quire-? what experience Mr . Aswan had with
31 this type of operation: . Mr . Alwan stated he had
exper> @lice in his native country of Iraq. He also
33 operated the Fur: Center for approximately two months . He
34 --fou-nd- t-hi-s d-if-f icult as the smoke bothered him.
36 The Mayor stated his opposition to the granting of the
37 conditional use permi-t . He views the operation as a fur:
38 center and arcade and feels another business of this type
39 is not needed in St . Anthony . He reflected or, the
40 problems which have been experienced with this type of
41 business in the past . He has no problems with the kiddie
42 rides but recalled the problems associated with a former
43 operation with video games at the shopping mall even when
44 the owner tried to make it very successful .
45
46 Mr. Alwan observed the problems presently happening with
47 the bowling alley at Apache . Plaza and felt they all
48 stemmed from poor supervision . He stated he - intends to
49 have considerable control and supervision at his
CO establishment . He is focusing on having this business a
51 successful restaurant rather than an arcade . Mr . Alwar:
52 stated the amount of money he has already put into the
53 operation and some of the daily specials he is it:cludin�;
54 on the menu . •

E. Mayor Ranallo again stated he envisions this operation
7 becoming an arcade or fun center and that it has all of
8 the potential for problems which the former operation
9 experienced.
10
11 The Mayor noted that the Fun Center located at St .
12 Anthony Shopping Center is run on a very strict basis
13 regarding behavior and regulations . He felt this business
14 may not be able to continue as it is operated so very
15 well .
16
17 Motion by Marks , second by Enrooth to approve the
18 conditional use Permit for Sheik ' s Garden Restaurant with
19 th.e saMc conditions as the Planning Commiss'_o::
recommended .
G 1
Fleming inquired - what some of the concerns of the
23 Planning Commission were . The City Manager stated that
24 the Police Chief sets no particular problems but he
25 anticipates increasing patrols and manpower focused on
26 this 1oca: ior: . There was some concern for possible
�7 sm.-king in the core id•-,r near the business .
25
29 T1-:c City Manager suggested that an annual re':,ew be
3 � included as a conditicn of the conditionai use permit . He
31 felt that for the Council to not issue a new license
%2 wcu ld require very good documentation , so the staff would
33 keep stringent records regarding warnings or calls for
34 service from the Police Department .
35
3E The Mayor recalled that there were frequent meetings by
37 the owner of the Malt Shop and the City Council as well
38 as the Planning Commissic'n . The problems still continued .
39
40 Wagner had concern with the number of video games versus
41 the kiddie rides . He felt families may not patronize the
42 restaurant with so many video games there . He inquired if
43 Mr . Alwan intended to replace the kiddie rides with video
44 games if they were not used . Mr . Alwan responded he has
45 no such plans .
46
47 Mayor Ranallo observed that a pool table is included on
48 the site plan. Mr . Alwan stated that he does not intend
49 to have a pool table in his establishment and did not
50 notice this item on the site plan when he signed the
51 application .

38 the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities
39 regarding its maintaining a representative on the

42
43 Councilmember Enrooth suggested that the
44 Association of Metropolitan Municipalities will
45 probably want to take a formal position regarding
46 its representative remaining. on the LMC Board. He

14 4 . Northgate Condo Association Member
15
16 The. City Manager was contacted by a .member of the
17 Northgate Condo Association who was concerned with
18 the content of a flyer she found in her business
19 mail box .
20
21 The flyer referred to the discussions held at the
22 City' s Town Meeting regarding solutions for the
23 stormwater problems being experienced. Her alarm
24 focused specifically on one solution suggested
25 which was to put in a holding pond in a location
26 very near Northgate.
27
28 The City Manager assured her that these were only •
29 recommendations from the consultant and that no
30 impact studies have been done at this point in
31 time. He noted that some of the solutions proposed
32 would remedy one situation, but cause one for
33 someone else.
35 He advised her that another Town Meeting is being
36 scheduled for April and encouraged her and her
37 neighbors in Northgate to attend .
38
39 The City Manager stated that this issue of flooding
40 is discussed frequently by staff . Members of the
41 staff will be prepared to present the handling of
42 some of these problems on an individual basis at
43 the next Town Meeting.
44
45 Councilmember Enrooth noted that the problems come
46 from development as well as Mother Nature.
47
48 Councilmember Fleming observed that other tenants
49 or leasees of Northgate may have misinterpreted the
50 flyer and may not have followed through as this
51 person did. She felt there should be an update
52 given on this matter with more detail . She
53 suggested this information be put in the paper . •

5 5 . C.D.B.G. Ideas
6
7 The City Manager had followed up on the suggestion
8 to include the completion of the sidewalk around
9 Silver Lake as a C.D.B.G. project . He was advised
10 that this probably would not qualify as an
11 allowable low to moderate income project .
12
13 He also suggested that some of these funds may be
14 used for senior citizen programs . Presently, there
15 is a $1 , 400 deficit in the program.
16
17 Another possibility for the use of the funds is the
18 Housing Rehabilitation Program and an increase in
19 the funding for the Northwest Family Youth Service
20 Bureau.
21
22 The Kenzie sidewalk is a possibility as there are
23 low to moderate income people living near it and
24 the residents of the mobile homes may also .make
25 this a qualified project . Park equipment is also a
26 consideration .
7
8 The City Manager noted that last year C.D. B.G.
29 funds were used for the City' s recodification.
30
31 He noted that with the bus route change from
32 Highway #88 to St . Anthony Boulevard something
33 could be considered for funding for pedestrian
34 safety as this bus stop is used heavily by senior
35 citizens .
36
37 Councilmember Marks felt this area is very unsafe
38 and is not handicapped- accessible.
39
40 The City Manager advised that the public hearing
41 for C.D.B.G. funds must be held in March and he is
42 requesting some input of ideas from the Council .
43
44 The Road Task Force met on February 24th. The City
45 Manager noted that all of this Task Force ' s reports
46 are focusing on a ten 'year plan for road
47 improvements and are being recommended as
48 assessable projects .
49
50 6 . Minnesota Water Testing
51
52 The State is mandating new water testing laws . This
W3 was an EPA law which was passed onto the Minnesota
54 Pollution Control Agency who is passing it on to
r
I REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING

5
6 local governments .
7
8 The City Manager noted that the State is mandating
9 a $5 . 00 surcharge on each home, business and school
10 connected to a municipal water supply. He felt the
11 State ' s involvement with water testing will cost a
'12 taxpayer twice as much as it costs a city now.
13
14 The City Manager advised that the City can do these
15 tests much cheaper than the State. He felt the
16 State wants to micro-manage the City' s water system
17 as does the Metropolitan Council . He suggested that
18 the City presently has the cleanest drinking water
19 available and does not need another level of
20 management . He viewed this as another "revenue
21 enhancement . "
22
23 The City Manager noted that homes built before the
24 ' 80 ' s will be specifically targeted. If the City
25 were to do the testing a random sample of homes
26 would be tested . Water cannot be run in the house
27 for six hours before the testing which could be
28 very inconvenient for the homeowners .
29
30 Members of the Council directed the City Manager to
31 send a letter stating its objection to this testing
32 by the State . If this letter is not responded to
33 the City Manager would draft a resolution for
34-- - Council__ _. consideration which would state the
35 Council ' s position on the matter . A letter should
36 also be sent to the Health Commissioner and to the
37 City' s legislative representatives .
38
39 7 . Discussion of Water Rates
40
41 An increase in water rates was discussed in May of
42 1991 . For the. first ten years , federal funding was
43 to maintain ninety percent of the operating costs
44 and the City ten percent . After ten years , St .
45 Anthony was to pay the full costs . The ten years
46 starts when the City accepts the filtration plant
47 from the State .
48
49 A memo from the Finance Director was included in
50 the Council packet which addressed the options for
51 Council consideration regarding the use of the
52 funds received from an increase in water rates .
53 •54 The options included: paying off the debt ; keeping
1 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
• 2 FEBRUARY 25, 1992

5
6 all existing cash and rebonding in 1993 ; paying off
7 the debt in 1993 and levying a one-time three cent
8 per 100 cubic feet of water consumed; or, rebonding
9 the debt due in 1993 and levying a one-time three
10 cent per 100 cubic feet of water consumed.
11
12 The City Manager requested direction from the
13 Council regarding this matter so an ordinance can:_
14 be drafted for a first reading.
15
16 The City Manager noted that presently two tanks are
17 being used to clean the water. The operating costs
18 borne by the State is about one million dollars . He
19 advised that the standards which must be met today
20 may change in the future .
21
22 It has been determined that many more contaminents
23 have been detected in the ground than those
24 mentioned in the lawsuit . The monitoring filters
25 are picking up many more things and this situation
26 will probably not change for some time.
•27
28 Disposal and clean up of carbon is going to become
29 more expensive . It is very expensive to ship the
30 carbon to Pennsylvania. According to State
31 regulations the City cannot "re-generate" its own
32 carbon .
33
34 The City Manager stated that New Brighton, St .
35 Louis Park and St . Anthony use carbon but they all
36 have different specification so the three cities
37 cannot go out for bids together.
38
39 Because of an earlier arrangement , the City of New
40 Brighton has all of its costs paid by the Army
41 whereas , the City of St . Anthony only has ninety
42 percent
43
44 Councilmember Marks felt option #3 would be the
45 most beneficial for the City. Option #3 recommends
46 paying off the debt in 1993 and levying a one time
47 three cent per 100 cubic feet of water consumed.
48
49 The ordinance for this recommendation will be on
50 the agenda of the next Council meeting.
51
52 8 . PUBLIC HEARINGS

37 On February 11th, Councilmember Fleming attended
38 the Regional Transit Board Forum whose purpose was
39 to evaluate potential changes to- the transportation
40 system serving the metropolitan area.
41
42 The changes addressed were for a five year
43 timeframe, 1992, through 1996. It was noted that
44 ridership on the Metropolitan Transit System has
45 decreased significantly in the last ten years .
46 Studies done suggest that former riders of public
47 transit will return if there are incentives such as
48 cost , convenience and increased traffic congestion
49 are in evidence.
50
51 Councilmember Fleming was made aware of the Metro
52 Mobility Program offered by the RTB and the MTC.

33
34 He advised that an informational fax will be coming

40 excellent cooperation with the School District on

43 3 . Report of Councilmember Enrooth

. 46 10th meeting, the .Village Fest Committee selected

50 more volunteers . This is the fourth year this

52 Enrooth requested more publicity in the local
0 3 newspapers as there is not much time left to make

15
16 4 . Report of Mayor Ranallo
17
18 Mayor Ranallo was one of the three presenters at
19 the Newly-Elected Officials Workshop. Councilmember
20 Fleming felt his comments- were very well received.
21
22 The Mayor attended the D.A.R.E. Program and was
23 impressed with its content . Councilmember Enrooth
24 observed that the number of parents in attendance
25 has decreased since the last D.A.R. E. Program.
26
27 The Mayor had mentioned during the program that the •
28 D.A.R. E. fundraiser, the Paul Todd Show, was not
29 well attended by St . Anthony residents and not much
30 funding for the program was received. He received
31 $200 in pledges from parents in attendance.,
32
33 Mayor Ranallo inquired if another date has been
34 scheduled for the Council and the School Board to
35 meet . The City Manager responded he is waiting
36 until the new School Superintendent arrives. The
37 Mayor and City Manager will pursue an April meeting
38 date.
39
40 Apache Plaza has a new Marketing Director who
41 replaced Barb Olsonoski . Photos were taken today at
42 Apache Plaza for the "St . Anthony Dollars"
43 Campaign. This Campaign will have its kick-off on
44 February 24th and will be highlighted at the Spring
45 Fling on February 29th. The Mayor is hopeful that
46 the Campaign is successful .
47
48 The- City Manager advised that the "Dollars" of the
49 Campaign will be kept in the City Hall safe.
50
51 The Mayor received a letter from the Camp Committee
52 of Silver Lake Camp stating its position. of not
53 supporting sidewalk construction on the west side •
54 of Silver Lake Road. It is the opinion of the Camp
1 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
• 2 FEBRUARY 11 , 1992
3 PAGE 7
4
5
6 Committee the sidewalk would not be ecologically
7 beneficial to the wildlife located at the Lake and
8 would be disruptive to the natural setting of the
9 Lake. Also, they indicated, the cost of this
10 assessable project would be -an economic hardship
11 for the Camp. -
12
13 Councilmember Marks requested that a copy of this
14 letter be sent to the Ramsey County Highway
15 Department .
16
17 The City Manager noted that the costs associated
18 with this project would be passed on to benefitted
19 property owners in the form of assessments . He
20 noted that the plan has had its final review and
21 Ramsey County presently is going into the design
22 phase.
23
24 The City Manager attended a recent public hearing
25 regarding this project . He observed that St .
26 Anthony residents had few questions regarding the
�27 proposed project but that many concerns were
28 expressed by residents of New Brighton. He advised
29 that the members of the Council will be copied on
30 the written record of the public hearing.
31
32 The City Manager noted that the St . Anthony City
33 Council still has time to deny authorization for
34 installation of the sidewalk but cautioned it would
35 be wise to wait on this matter until the road
36 placement is decided. He felt the road may be
37 placed closer to Silver Lake if it were known that
38 there would be no sidewalk put in this location..
39
40 Responding to previous concerns of those who walked
41 around the Lake, the City Manager stated that
42 presently there is sidewalk- nearly all the way
43 around the Lake. The only area where sidewalk does
44 not exist is on Silver Lane. . This sidewalk may
45 become a reality if Community Development Block
46 Grant - funds from Ramsey County can be used to pay
47 the costs .

16 additions they may have to the invitation list .

19 B. Report of the City Manager
20
21 1 . Clean Up of Evergreen Property
22
23 The City Manager has contacted Bruce Nedegaard, the
24 developer of the Evergreen Project , regarding the
25 cleaning up of the area. An adjacent property owner
26 had attended a recent Council meeting to express
27 his displeasure with the debris in the area. Mr . •
28 Nedegaard responded he will have the area cleaned
29 up by the end of the week.
30
31 2 . Planning Commission Vacancy
32
33 The City Manager noted that no applications have
34 been received from residents interested in being
35 appointed to the vacancy on the Planning
36 Commission. The Bulletin reporter was requested to
37 submit an article regarding this vacancy in the
38 next edition of the newspaper.
39
40 3 . Odor of Ice
41
42 Staff has received some complaints from residents
43 who noticed an odor coming from ice located in
44 areas of the City. Staff determined that the odor
45 is eminating from grass which is rotting under
46 melting snow and some of the snow has snow mold.
47 The City Manager stated there is no danger
48 associated with this but it is unpleasant .
49
50 4 . Employee Recognition Luncheon

11 5 . South End Task Force
12
13 At a meeting on February 10th, the members of the
14 Task Force met with the planner to express their
15 individual visions for the area being studied.
16
17 The City Manager noted that there was not much
18 discussion regarding the moratorium on the area but
19 considerable focus on the image and appearance of
20 the shopping center. He felt the meeting had some
21 very positive aspects . The planner will return with
22 his recommendations in two to three weeks .
23
24 The City Manager discussed funding sources for the
25 area. Increasing the boundaries of the Tax
26 Increment District in the area was a consideration.
W7 This would only extend the district payback about
28 one year .
29
30 6. Drinkina Water
31
32 The City Manager advised that there has been a
33 problem noticed with the City' s drinking water .
. 34 There have been black flecks in the water and staff
35 has _ determined these flecks are particles of
36 manganese. He stated that manganese is not harmful
37 to humans nor to animals .
38
39 The City Manager explained that because there is
40 less water usage in the winter, particles of
41 manganese tends to solidify and come through the
42 water pipes . The water is run through three wells
43 which have iron and manganese removal but with less
44 water being run the manganese becomes apparent in
45 the tap water. Presently, the water is being pumped
46 from Well #5 , on the north side of Silver Lake,
47 which is higher in manganese.
48
49 The City could correct the problem by flushing the
50 hydrants but this is no.t possible in cold weather
51 as the flushed water would freeze on the streets
102 and be a hazard. The City Manager suggested
3 changing the air stove in the Filtration Plant may
54 be helpful to solve some of the problem.
1 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING

6 Also, changing to another well rather than Well #5
7 may offer some solution.
8
9 In response to calls from residents, staff has been
10 advising them to run their water for a short period
11 of time and this has cleared the water.
12
13 7 . March Work Session/Caucuses
14
15 The -City Manager noted that the March work session
16 normally would be scheduled on the same evening as
17 precinct caususes . He inquired if members of the
18 Council wished to reschedule this work session. He
19 noted that the only item which may be discussed
20 would be with Dennis Cavanaugh of Apache Plaza.
21
22 Mayor Ranallo suggested this work session not be
23 rescheduled unless there are some important items
24 of business which need to be addressed.
25
26 8 . 1992 Goal Setting Session Report
27 •28 Members of the Council received the City Manager' s
29 1992 Goal Setting Report . Upon review, the City
30 Manager noted that some of the items/goals have
31 already been met and many were in the process of
32 being completed. He referred to some of the non-
: 33 priority items which
have been completed.
34 .
35 9. Relocation of Polling Place for Precinct 3
36
37 In a memo from the City Clerk, it was noted that it
38 is being recommended that Hennepin County Precinct
39 3 be dissolved and that registered voters in the
40 precinct be added to Hennepin County Precinct 2 .
41
42 The City Manager advised it has been difficult to
43 obtain election judges for this location.
44 Registered voters do not need to be formally
45 notified that the polling place is being relocated.
46 The new location will be in the gymnasium at the
47 Community Center. It is allowed by State Statute to
48 have two polling places for different precincts in
49 the same facility.
50
51 This action must be taken via a formal resolution .
52 The City Manager will prepare a resolution for the
53 next Council Meeting. •

6 C. Cable Television Update - Bill Zawislak, Cable
7 Representative
8
9 Zawislak stated he is prepared to present an update of
10 cable activites from 1991 and make recommendations for
11 future use of cable capabilities in the City of St .
12 Anthony.
13
14 In 1991 , Zawislak attended eleven cable meetings which
15 familiarized him with cable related matters . He noted
16 that the personnel for the cable commission is totally
17 reorganized and that a new Executive Secretary was hired.
18
19 All cities who participate in this cable commission have
20 undertaken public access programming from the cable
21 company. In the near future, members of the cable
22 commission will be meeting with all school principals in
23 their respective school districts to view the studio
24 located at Irondale High School and to explore some of
25 the possibilities for cable programming.
26
X27 Zawislak noted that some of the camera capabilities which
X28 could have been employed by cities would have been
29 surveillance cameras in the liquor establishments and
30 viewing of wells . Previously, this function was available
31 without cost , but now there is a charge. He noted that
32 much of the local control of cable was taken away by
33 federal legislation. He feels this control will be
34 returned to municipalities by some legislation currently
35 being considered in Washington, D.C.
36
37 Presently, there is thirty-seven percent penetration of
38 cable subscribers in St . Anthony which is up from thirty-
39 one percent .
40
41 Zawislak encouraged the Council to consider local access
42 programming. He felt Council Meetings should be cablecast
43 and suggested there be a "Mayor ' s Report" following each
44 Council Meeting' as .well. as a "City Manager' s Report . "
45
46 With 1 , 342 residents who subscribe to cable in St .
47 Anthony, Zawislak felt - there would be very good response
48 to local access programming and many requests for
49 information . He noted that a monthly newsletter would
50 provide an opportunity for current information to be
51 delivered to residents in a timely manner .
52
153 Mayor Ranallo inquired what the costs associated with
54 local access programming would be to the City.
I REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING

7 Zawislak felt there would be no significant cost at the
8 present time. He noted that the equipment currently
9 available in City Hall is rather outdated.
10
11 The City Manager stated that the staff presently has the
12 equipment to record, but needs the playback equipment .
13 Informational tapes which could be run on local access
14 are available at the Ramsey County library.
15
16 Zawislak suggested the Council authorize the formation of
17 a Cable Commission in St . Anthony. He felt there were
18 many resident who would be interested in serving on this
19 type of committee and who had expertise in the field of
20 cable television. He also felt some of the suggestions of
21 this committee, although -progressive, may cost .
22
23 Mayor Ranallo stated that his position is no funds will
24 be spent on cable while the State and the cities are in
25 a financial dilemma . He recalled that in survey responses
26 only one percent of the subscribers of cable television
27 said they - would be interested in viewing Council
28 Meetings .
29
30 The City Manager stated that to improve the Council
31 Chambers for live cablecasts would require better
32 lighting and cameras . These would cost between $5, 000 and
33 $8 , 000 but would be a one time cost . Volunteer assistance
34 would be sought for operating the cameras and for
35 videotaping other community activities .
36
37 The Mayor again stated his position regarding
38 expenditures for cable matters when the City is
