COUNCIL MINUTES
February 22 , 1983
Mayor Sundland opened the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance at
7: 30 P.M.
Present for roll call: Enrooth, Letourneau, Sundland, Ranallo, and
Marks.
Also present : David Childs , City Manager; and William Soth, City
Attorney.
Motion by Councilman Letourneau and seconded by Councilman Marks to
approve as submitted the minutes for the February 8, 1983 Council
meeting.
Motion carried unanimously .
The Manager requested the application for amusement devices permits
for the St. Anthony Fun Center be taken from the Council agenda list-
ing to be placed on the March 1st agenda.
Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Enrooth to
grant the licenses listed in the February 22nd Council agenda as
follows :
A club on-sale liquor license - St. Anthony American Legion Post #513
Service station license - Don' s Apache Auto Wash; St. Anthony Standard;
and Dick ' s Standard
Cigarette license - Smoking Section of Apache Plaza Mall
Rubbish removal license - Keith Krupenny & Son Disposal and Walter '.s
Disposal .
Motion carried unanimously .
Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Mayor Sundland to approve
payment of all verified claims for January 31 , 1983 as listed in the
February 22 , 1983 Council agenda.
Motion carried unanimously .
Mr. Childs reiterated the point made by the Finance Director in her
February 14th memorandum that the 1983 payment to the City 's Fire
Relief Association would be well below the amount budgeted this year .
Motion by Councilman Ranallo and seconded by Councilman Letourneau to
approve payment of $5,463 for the City' s contribution to the St.
Anthony Fire Relief Association.
Motion carried unanimously.
Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Enrooth to
approve payments of $3, 617 and $2 ,172 to Dorsey and Whitney for legal
services during November and December, 1982. L
Motion carried unanimously.
-2-
Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Ranallo to accept
the low bid of $8, 265 from Southdale Ford for a new squad car for the
SPolice Department and to approve payment of that amount to that firm.
Motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Ranallo reported he has participated in preparations for
the annual meeting of the League of Minnesota Cities in Bloomington,
June 15 , 16 and 17 and that Mr. Childs and Fire Chief Entner would be
invited to make a presentation on the City ' s successful combination
of full time and reserve fire fighters which other communities have not
been able to do up to now.
Councilman Marks reported taking the CPR training course offered by
the City Fire Department and complimented Rick Pfeiffer on the com-
petent manner in which the course was presented. He indicated the
Fire Department should be commended for providing such valuable train-
ing for the community.
The January Fire Department report and the City ' s financial summary for
the same month were considered and filed as informational along with
the minutes for the February 3rd meeting of the St. Anthony Chemical
Abuse Information Committee . In commenting on the latter , the Mayor
said he was impressed with the number of programs the Committee had
undertaken and, Councilman Marks observed there had to be a great
deal of support from outside sources considering the fact that the
Commission would be seeking a contribution of $1 , 400 from the Council
for these endeavors this year, which was less than their proposed
total expenditures .
Doug Jones reported the Planning Commission minutes for February 15th
and was joined in the discussion of actions taken and recommendations
to the Council made during that meeting by Commission Chair Makowske
and Commissioner Wagner, who were also in attendance . Mr . Childs told
them the definition of sign surface area had been expanded as they
recommended in Ordinance 1983-001 , which would be given its second
reading that evening and the definition of gas stations had also been
rewritten by the City Attorney for consideration that evening . He
also indicated he perceives the Commission amending individual term
lengths would not be considered essential for the passage that evening
of Ordinance 1983-002 since the ordinance does not individually identify
Commissioners by name.
Mr. Jones reiterated the Commission' s request that they be significantly
involved in the negotiations of a final proposal for the Kenzie Terrace
Redevelopment Project and said he perceives the Commission members
would not consider it inappropriate to have special meetings scheduled
for that purpose. The Mayor told him whichever developer is selected
by the H.R.A. that evening would be requested to present the project
proposal at a joint meeting of the Commission, the Kenzie Terrace Task
Force, and school district and it would be that at this meeting, input
would be sought by the H.R.A. He anticipates this meeting would be
scheduled as soon as possible and well before the H.R.A. enters into a
final contract for the project. The three Commission members remained
for the H. R.A. meeting which followed immediately after the Council
meeting.
-3-
A. copy of the February 11th letter from the Director of the Housing
Division of the Metropolitan Council agreeing to prepare a housing
bond plan for the City at no charge had been included in the agenda
packet. The Council concurred with Mr. Childs ' statement that the
City should be indebted to Dick Krier for becoming the first, and possibly
the only, recipient of this free service.
The Manager reported the Metropolitan Pollution Control Agency had made
an application for federal super fund monies to aid the five cities
in the Rice Creek Watershed District in solving their water contamina-
tion problems . He said it was his understanding New Brighton would
be provided carbon filters (_or water) during the time they are digging
new wells and funds would be available to the cities to identify the
source of contamination so that action could be taken regarding the
problem.
Mr. Childs indicated he and his staff would be taking the CPR course
the afternoon of March 8th and invited any Council members who cared
to participate to come as well . He had distributed copies of two
pieces of legislation related to local government aid which are up for
consideration, pointing out that, under the Voss bill , the City ' s aid
would be cut out completely and under the Perpich proposal , would be
decreased from $250 , 000 to $218 , 000 . Mayor Sundland anticipates the
Voss bill would have little chance of passage.
Regarding the proposed sign ordinance , the Public Works Director had
requested all temporary signs , including political, should be taken
down within three days, according to Mr. Childs , who offered changes
in wording for several subdivisions of the proposed sign ordinance to
accomplish this . Councilman Marks indicated he perceives it might be
difficult for a campaigner to get all those signs down in less than five
days and said he preferred that the ordinance not be amended in this
regard.
Motion by Mayor Sundland and seconded by Councilman Letourneau to
accept the changes in the wording of Subdivisions 1 and 10 in Section
430 : 35 of Ordinance 1983-001 recommended by the City Manager .
Voting on the motion:
Aye: Sundland, Letourneau, Ranallo and Enrooth.
Nay: Marks.
Motion carried.
Motion by Councilman Ranallo and seconded by Councilman Enrooth to approve

As of December 31 , 1982, 91 . 10% of the City' s funds were invested .
-These are unaudited figures and could possibly change somewhat after our audit. The
interest earned figures for 1981 and 1982 reflect accrued interest, where the 1980
interest earned figure was on a cash basis as of 12/31/80.
You will also note that we now have a Money Market Account with St. Anthony National
Bank which at present is earning 84%. That is a little better than what we can get
on C. D. 's. I will keep checking the rates on C.D. 's and if they exceed the money
market St. Anthony is paying at that time, I will then invest in C.D. 's. Also, as
of December 1 , 1982, we switched our regular checking account with St. Anthony Nation-
a] Bank to a NOW account, so we are earning interest daily on our fund balance. As
a point of information, for the month of December, we earned $325.58 on our checking
_ account, which wasn ' t switched over until about December 20, 1982.

February 15 , 1983
The Honorable 'Mayor and
City Council of the City of St . Anthony
In accordance with City Ordinance 1971-009 , Section 3 , Sub-
division 4 , I herewith submit the Annual Fire Report of the City
of St . Anthony Fire Department for the year 1982 . This document
is descriptive of our accomplishments .
The members of the City Council , the Mayor and the City
Manager have been most cooperative and helpful during the year ,
for which I wish to take this opportunity to thank them. I am
• also appreciative of our Public Works Department , Police Depart-
ment , and office staff for their efforts and cooperation during the
year which assisted us in our overall operation.
In a year where budgetary constraints were foremost in
everyone ' s mind, our mire Department personnel made a positive
effort to accomplish their goals , under these conditions . Our
personnel have continued to be efficient and gain the needed
expertise to provide the City of St . Anthony with the level of
fire protection we know the City desires .
The Fire Department has always maintained an open door policy
and would like to extend a sincere welcome to each of you to visit
our department .
Respectfully submitted ,
Lel nd En e , Fire Chief

PERSONNEL
The total department is made up in the following manner (as of
January 1 , 1983) :
A. Full time 7
B. Part time 22
C. Maintenance Reserve 11 (days only)
During 1982 we hired three part time firefighters and lost one for
a net gain of two personnel . Our goal was and is to maintain the
present level of 22 part time personnel .
There was a resignation during December , 1981 which left a vacancy
in the full time ranks . We held a competition among City employees
for the position which was won by Don Drusch . Don started as a
full time employee on March 29 , 1982 . The economy permitting , we
hope to maintain our 7 man staffing which allows a minimum of two
men on duty at all times .
APPARATUS
During 1982 we had ups and downs with our apparatus . 6980 received
• a beautiful paint job from the Maintenance Department , while 6981
received major unexpected repairs on its transmission .
During 1983 we are looking forward to replacing 6982 (presently
27 years old) with a new pumper .
I wish to take this opportunity to commend the Maintenance Depart-
ment for doing an excellent job of keeping our apparatus in a
state of readiness .

EMERGENCY ACTIVITIES
During 1982 we experienced a significant decline in emergency runs
(from 353 in 1981 to 283 in 1982) . This decline is significant in
that it is exclusively in the area. of fire runs . This reduction in
fire activity reflects a downward trend experienced by most fire
departments in the metropolitan area. If this is , in fact, a trend,
I attribute. it to a decline in arson activity and a heightened
awareness of fire safety among the public .
As for medical runs , the increased activity we experienced during
1981 continued through 1982 . Once again , heart problems were the
most common problems we encountered.

• OUT-OF-STATION ACTIVITIES
Our out-of-station activities are divided into four categories . The
first two categories reflect productivity in that they measure both
direct public contact and our efforts to create a safer environment
in St. Anthony . The third category lists the routine functions
necessary to maintain a fire department while the last category
could be classed as :Miscellaneous public relations .
If you compare 1982 with 1981 , you ' ll find a dramatic increase in
out-of-station activities during 1982 . This increase is due to a
more efficient inspection program, greater demands from the schools
for safety education , and a more aggressive training program for
our drivers. It is our intent to continue this performance in the
future .

• TRAINING REPORT AND STATISTICS
The training program of 1982 was basically a continuation of policies
established in 1981 . As usual, a major portion of our training hours
were devoted to maintaining various emergency medical certifications .
One new development during 1982 was the availability to us of
Minnegasco' s training facilities at Watertown, Minnesota . These
facilities provide us with inexpensive hands-on training in both
flammable liquid and LPG fires . We hope to continue using these
facilities in the future .
1982 also saw an increased emphasis on both driving training and the
training of our maintenance personnel . In the past , we 've had
difficulty maintaining a regular training schedule for our shop
people and so we ' re happy to be able to increase their training
hours 1500 over those in 1931 .
The following is a compilation of training hours accumulated during
1982 :
Total Average
Full time 675 hours 962 hours
Part time 1 , 450 hours 66 hours
Maintenance 136 hours 13�. hours
SCEOOLS AND SE�,II`:ARS
Once again, outside schools and conferences played a major role in
maintaining standards and efficiency on our department . The follow-
ing, is a list of schools attended during 1982 .
1 . One officer attended the Fire Chief ' s Conference in Philadelphia
2 . Three officers attended a management seminar
3. Two officers attended the Firefighter ' s Conference in Brainerd
4. One man attended a paramedic refresher course
5. Four men completed an EMT refresher course
6 . Two men completed an EMT course
7. Three men attended the Annual State Fire School
8. Two men attended the Waterous Fire Pump School
9 . One man was sent to two arson schools
10 . One man attended an arson conference
11 . One man attended a fire tactics school
12 . Twelve men attended a firefighting course at Watertown, Minnesota
13 . One man attended a code and legal seminar.
The benefits we receive from these schools is possible because of
the City' s policy of encouraging attendance at these schools and the
willingness of individuals to devote time and expense to attend them.

• INSPECTIONS
We have established three objectives for our inspection program:
(1) Educate the public in fire safety .
(2) Improve the firefighter ' s familiarity with the community , its
buildings and its occupancies .
( 3) Eliminate hazardous situations .
With these objectives in mind, we experienced increased inspection
activity in 1982. During 1983 we plan to continue this level of
activity and to improve our knowledge of the fire codes . We are also
presently updating our fire codes and references to be compatible
with the State Fire Marshal ' s office as well as our surrounding
communities .
FIRE DRILLS
State law requires all schools and nursing homes to conduct fire and
tornado drills on a regularly scheduled basis . During 1982 we
were involved in 11 such drills .
PUBLIC EDUCATION PROJECTS
Recognizing the value of public education, our department has always
given it a high priority . During 1982. t:ie department held various
classes in fire safety , disaster planning , CPR, first aid , and fire
extinguishers . We taught 1431 students in these subjects during 1982 .
This number is consistent with the figures for the past couple of
years .
During November of last year , our Department hosted a wood burning
safety seminar at the High School . This program met with mixed
success . Although it was extremely informative , it was attended by
only 30-40 citizens . Our Firefighters , however, picked up a wealth
of information which we can distribute to the public .
One of our more successful annual projects is the "Junior Fire Safety
program for all fourth graders in the City . This program consists
of four hours of instruction in fire safety, use of extinguishers ,
home fire inspecting , and escape from fire . There is a written
examination at the end of this course with awards going to the highest
scores . During 1982 we improved his program considerably through
information gathered from the National Fire Academy and from pro-
grams conducted by surrounding fire departments .

• FIRE PREVENTION POSTER CONTEST
During 1982 we inherited an interesting project from the .Mrs . Jaycees .
This project is a poster contest involving all of the students at
Wilshire Park School. After distributing fire safety materials and
judging the posters , we provided a ride home in the fire truck for
the twelve winners . This program was so successful , we plan to make
it an annual event in the future.
In addition, St . Anthony also participated in the National Fire
Prevention poster contest. Our winner in 1982 was Andrea Westergard.
Andrea lives at 3131 McKinley Street and is a fifth grader at
St. Charles .
EMS MEDICAL ACTIVITIES
One of the priorities in our EMS system is the education of St.
Anthony ' s citizens in first aid and CPR. Statistics indicate that
we are achieving a degree of success in this area as the number of
students has been increasing over the last few years. The main
factor in the Nigh number of first aid students is our involvement
in the high school program to train all 8th and 10th grades in first
aid and CPR. Included in our first aid training for 1983 will be
• the certification of our maintenance personnel in standard first aid.
It ' s been five years since they were last trained in this area . A
few members have maintained their certification .
Another successful program we offer is our free blood pressure service .
During 1982 we took 597 blood pressures for the citizens in this area .
In many cases we discovered problems that otheniise would have gone
undetected .
In Julv , 1982 , we began using an improved medical/resuce form. This
form will help us to gather data and statistics to better identify
needs in training and equipment.
In September, 1982 , the St. Anthony Fire Department was chosen to
participate in a study to determine the effectiveness of an automatic
external defibrillator/pacemaker in cardiac arrests . As of this
time , the results of this study are inconclusive , but 1983 should
provide considerably more data. This unit was placed in St. Anthony
because we were considered by one of the authorities in medicine
as having a highly qualified EMS group and an operation that was
able to provide data on this research project.
CIVIL DEFENSE/EMERGENCY OPERATIONS (Federal Emergency Management
Association)
During 1982 the Civil Defense Director was involved with the following
areas of concern:
(1) Restoring the siren capability..-1 ,'--_are alerting our community ;
12
(2) Continual updating and revision of our City emergency plan;
( 3) Attendance at various county/Civil Defense seminars to update
necessary changes pertaining to project papers and financial
categories;
(4) Studied a home study course which pertained to on-going educa-
tion for a Civil Defense/Emergency Director; and
(5) Developing personnel into certain categories of the emergency
plan with specific responsibilities.
In general , the siren capabilities have been restored, tested and
are operational after many hours of research and coordination between
the City and the telephone company.
The Emergency Plan is being developed on an on-going basis . The
updating and simplifying of its contents are top priority.
The City Manager and Fire Chief attended a training session on this
subject. Information gleaned from the session will assist is com-
pleting an updated/condensed - plan during 1983 .
The Finance Director and Fire Chief have attended one day briefings
on program papers and financial categories .
• The delegation and responsibilities for specific categories have
been established and the radiological and communications sections
are being assembled at present .
At the national level , the general outlook for 1983 is to move towards
a more uniform approach on training and produce criteria to which
all communities can relate . With military and security having
a high priority from the present administration , it is evident
the emphasis on emergency planning will have a high priority as an
end result.
On the local level , we are aiming toward 1) completion of an updated
version of the emergency plan ; 2) getting the proper personnel in-
volved and versed in their responsibilities ; 3) reviewing #1 and #2
above with the Hennepin County coordinators to set up a drill/exercise;
4) continually training personnel in various specialized categories ;
5) working with Hennepin County personnel toward a, radio activated
alerting system for sirens , which is being comtemplated for 1983;
and 6) to continually work towards an emergency program that will be
integrated with daily activities of the City and with the public
sectors that would be involved .
When all involved agencies are coordinated, one can readily see the
broad scope of emergency planning. With the assistance and coopera-
• tion of everyone involved, completion of this plan will be accomplished
and beneficial to all communities .

SUMMARY OF DEPARTMENT OUTLOOK
The St. Anthony Fire Department worked diligently toward accomplishing
the numerous goals and expectations set for 1982 . Each goal was
outlined within a time frame and many results were attained on a
positive note . The following lists some of these activities :
( 1) The City Council and City Manager together with Fire Department
menbership devised an acceptable Fire Department Relief
Association.
(2) Extensive research provided ample data for a presentation to
the City Council to ascertain the need for replacement of the
Fire Department ' s oldest pumper. At the City Manager' s request,
bidding for the pumper was delayed approximatley a year and
is now scheduled for the fall of 1983.
( 3) The Department' s Educational/Training budget was effectively
utilized in a fashion which gave a cross section of personnel
varying opportunities for growth in learning aspects which
would relate to our overall goals .
( 4) The EMS delivery and training capabilities have taken an upward
step with the addition of Don Drusch , who is a paramedic , as a
full time member of our Department. Reservist William Myers
• is also a paramedic and with our EMT staffing , we have an
excellent combination of medical expertise .
( 5 ) captain Dick Johnson , our training instructor , has provided a
highly motivated year of training sessions to our Department
and I am sure we will continue to experience continued growth
through his efforts .
( 6) The Fire Department Reserves continue to do an excellent job .
Their assistance is greatly valued . Often the Reserves do not
receive the praise due them, and I would like to take this
opportunity to acknowledge their very fine efforts for our
Department.
( 7) During 1982 , I represented the City of St. Anthony and our Fire
Department by actively participating in two fire-related organi-
zations . Metro Paid Fire Chiefs Association, of which I
presided as President, is composed of a group of highly talented
fire administrators from the 7 county metro area who meet to
exchange and share valuable data and knowledge . I also chaired
the "Projects Committee" of the Minnesota State Fire Chiefs
Association. This Committee was assigned five short and long-
range goals in 1982 and accomplished a majority of these
satisfactorily. I would like to think my involvement in these
organizations brought to St. Anthony and the Fire Department a
more complete and first-hand awareness of happenings throughout
' the fire service.
14
( 8) A program, which was initiated by our Fire Department, con-
cerning a joint purchasing venture , appears to be receiving
favorable response. Briefly , a few area fire communities were
contacted in regard to purchasing mutually needed items at the
same time for a cost savings that comes from buying in volume .
As other fire departments were contacted , we found interest at
a high level and the program now involves approximately 30
fire departments . This program could conceivably have state-
wide possibilities .
(9 ) Another area the Department strove to improve upon was its
relationship with various civic organizations . This involved
public speaking at the St. Anthony Kiwanis Club , the JayCee ' s ,
the Lion' s Club , and the American Legion. Through these efforts ,
the Kiwanis Club donated a ResusciAnnie to the Fire Department .
(10) A conscious effort was placed on improving relations within our
own Department. Mid-level management is being stressed in an
attempt to. attain unity, agreement, and better awareness of
cost-effectiveness for all Fire Department personnel .
The following areas will be concentrated upon in 1983 :
A. Acquisition of a new pumper, with as much cost savings as
• .possible.
B . Continuing the Joint Purchasing program with other fire com-
munities to make `ire department purchases cost effective.
C . Provide as much training and expertise as possible , within our
budget allotment , utilizing a cross-section of personnel .
D. Integrate an Emergency Operation Plan with our Department per-
sonnel to assure its continuity and proper execution .
E . Continuing efforts to improve and maintain closer relationships
with civic organizations .
F. Assure all Department self-contained breathing apparatus meet
NIOS/OSHA requirements by July 1 , 1983.
G. Analyzation of our present programs and activities with regard to
cost effectiveness .
I am sure I speak for the entire Fire Department personnel when I
tell you we appreciate the cooperation and consideration given to us
by you, the City Council , during 1982 . Your support for our
interests, as well as your financial support has made attainment
of the 1982 goals , programs , and improved expertise realities .

DATE: February 9 , 1983
TO: David Childs , City Manager
FROM: Larry Hamer, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Painting of Elevated Water Tank
-----------------------------------------=--------------------------
A proposal was submitted from Short-Elliott-Hendrickson to the City
on August 14 , 1980 for engineering costs to develop the specifica-
tions for painting the inside and outside of the elevated water
tank. This proposal was approved by the City Council , signed, and
returned to Short-Elliott-Hendrickson. The proposal was cancelled
shortly after they received it.
I have contacted Short-Elliott-Hendrickson on this subject again
and received the same quotation (.$800 to develop the specifications ;
$400 for miscellaneous inspections , etc. ) . They have estimated
the cost to do the painting to be $18 ,000 and have indicated that
estimate is still valid. They also recommended Twin City Testing
evaluate the need for the paint job. This was done in 1980 . The
result of Twin City Testing ' s findings was that the inside needed
to be painted and the outside needed touching up and cleaning.
It has been suggested to change the color on the outside of the
tank . With the delay in painting, we can now include the outside
in the paint job.
I am also concerned with the waterline on Stinson Boulevard between
St. Anthony Boulevard and 30th Avenue N.E. The amount of waterline
breaks we have experienced during past years has averaged about two
per year. . I would like to propose that the Public Works Department
replace the line. The material is estimated to cost approximately
$15 ,000 . In conjunction with this , Short-Elliott-Hendrickson has
submitted a proposal to develop a plan, which could be approved by
the State Health Department, for $1 , 300 .
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend both proposals from Short-Elliott-Hendrickson be accepted.
I also recommend we proceed with both projects as soon as the weather
permits .

Dear Mr. Hamer:
r At your request, we are preparing this proposal for engineering services
related to the painting of your elevated water tank.
You have requested a cost estimate for the inspection of the water tank to
determine the need for painting, both inside and outside, the preparation of
specifications for the. painting of the water tank if it is found to be necessary,
assistance in receipt of bids, periodic observation of construction during the
painting, and a final inspection after the painting has been completed.
It is our recommendation that an initial inspection be conducted by Twin City
Testing to determine the need for painting the tank, this initial inspection
is estimated to cost $300.
The preparation of specifications and assistance in receipt of bids is estimated
to cost $800. Periodic observation of construction is estimated to cost $400.
Our compensation for the above services are based on 2.30 times payroll cost
plus mileage and out of pocket expenses.
It is recommended that final inspection for compliance with the specifications
for coverage and paint thickness be conducted by Twin City Testing after the
job has been completed. Some communities have an inspector from Twin City
Testing present to check for sandblasting and paint coverage on a daily or
periodic basis during the painting. Inspection cost of this type will vary
depending upon the city's requirements for inspection during sandblasting and
painting.
t; It is recommended that the city deal directly with Twin City Testing on the
initial and final inspection phases by contacting Mr. Don Johnson at Twin City
r: Testing, phone 645-3601 .

Re : St. Anthony Prosecution Contract ,
Dear Mayor Sundland:
Our firm has shown an interest in becoming the City Prosecutor
for the City of St . Anthony. I belie',re my letter to City Manager
David Childs dated December 2 , 1982 , ,7airly explains our bid on
that contract . However, after attend .ng the City Council Meeting
on February .8 , 1983 , I would like to provide you with some background
information about myself and my partn.2r , James Doran.
I have been a resident of the City of 'St. Anthony since 1951 ,
residing at 2504 29th Avenue N. E. I am a graduate of St . Anthony
Village High School , Anoka-Ramsey Community College , College of
St. Thomas , and William Mitchell College of Law. •
I was a Special Assistant Attorney General in the office of
Attorney General Warren Spannaus for 7' years before entering
private Practice. During that 7! years , I was assigned as one of
the counsel to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety and to
the Criminal Division of the Attorney Generals Office .
During that 7' years , I Prosecuted several thousand implied
consent cases in courts throughout the State of Minnesota . During
that time I tried over 100 jury trials . I also took a part in
working on the new D.W. I . legislation which was passed by the Minnesota
Legislature in 1982 .
My prosecution skills and ability are known to judges , prosecutors
and police officers throughout the State of Minnesota. During the
time that I was a Special Assistant Attorney General , I developed a
good working relationship with members of the St. Anthony Police
Department.
I have been in private practice in Columbia Heights since July
of 1982 , and I specialize in criminal misdemeanors and traffic law.
Since entering private practice-, I also serve as a part-time referee
in Hennepin County Municipal Court hearing implied consent cases .
Mayor Sundland

February 9, 1983
• My partner , James Doran, is a lifelong resident of North Minneapolis .
Jim is a graduate of Benilde High School , University of Minnesota,
and William Mitchell College of Law. Jim has been active in St. Bridgets
Parish and in Our Lady of Victory parish. He is married and the father
of one daughter.
Jim' s father, William Doran, -is a small businessman on the north
side of Minneapolis and is the owner and manager of Doran Soft Water
Company.
Jim was a Special Assistant Attorney General for 16 months-
assigned to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. During that
time , Jim tried numerous implied consent cases throughout the courts
of this state , and also tried several jury trials . Jim was also
a staff attorney for the Dorsey law firm for three years before
beginning a partnership with me in June of 1982.
In selecting a prosecuting attorney for the City of St . Anthony ,
I believe that the council should review six criteria : 1) Cost ,
2) Experience , 3) Working Relationships with Police Departments ,
4) Availability, 5) Experience of more than one attorney, and
6) Familiarity with the area.
In reviewing those six criteria , I believe that the law firm
• of Johnson & Doran' is-bestT qualified- to- serve- the- City of--St.-- Anthony
as City Prosecutor.
First , I believe our bid of $60 an hour with a maximum cost of
$15 ,000. 00 a year to the City of St . Anthony is the lowest bid
considering our prosecution expertise .
Second, I have been a prosecutor for 7� years during which time
I have tried over 100 jury cases . Very few attorneys can match
that area of expertise . I am known by the judges on the Hennepin
County Municipal Bench and by most defense attorneys in this area.
Defense attorneys have knowledge that I am a qualified prosecutor,
that I am not afraid to try tough cases., and that in working out
negotiations on cases , I do not "give away the store" .
My partner, Jim Doran, also has the required prosecution experience
and is known. to judges of the Hennepin. County Municipal Court .
Third, I have had a good working relationship with members of
the St. Anthony Police Department in the past , and I assume that
if the law firm of - Johnson & Doran is selected as City Prosecutor
for calendar year 1983 that that good working relationship will continue.
A relationship between the law enforcement officer and a prosecutor
is essential to successful criminal prosecution. It is important that
a prosecutor have the trust of the police officers he is working with.
It is also important that both the police and the City Prosecutor
kr,ow what is required from each party to guarantee successful
prod ,ctlJion and to deter crime in the area.
Page 3
February 9 , 1983
Fourth, it is important that a City Prosecutor be available to •
give advice in emergency situations and to be available for drafting
complaints , giving advice to officers , etc. I live in St. Anthony
Village, and my office is located in Columbia Heights . Therefore,
all St. Anthony officers would have easy access to me to Permit them
more time to 'be on patrol. While still with the Attorney Generals
Office , there were occassions when . I would receive phone calls from
members of the St. Anthony Police Department asking for advice in
traffic cases . I was glad to give such information and considered
it a highest compliment that- St . Anthony officers respected my
ability to answer such questions for them.
If the firm of Johnson & Doran is selected as City Prosecutor, I
would like to set up a program of small informal seminars with
St. Anthony police officers to inform them of recent court decisions
and to discuss what effect those decisions have on their everyday
police work. I would also meet with officers on a regular basis
to determine if there are any prosecution problems .
Fifth, I believe it is important for the city to look at total
experience . Both Mr . Doran and I are experienced prosecutors . By
awarding the contract to the law firm of Johnson & Doran the city
would be obtaining two experienced prosecutors , a service that
other law firms might not be able to provide.
Sixth, the council must look at an attorney' s familiarity with
the City of St . Anthony. I have lived in the City of St . Anthony
since 1951. I know the area , attended its schools , and know the
people in the city. I believe it is essential for a prosecutor to
have ties in the community and knowledge about that community .
Being a resident of St . Anthony since 1951 , I have those ties and
that knowledge.
In reviewing the above mentioned six criteria, I believe that
the law firm of Johnson & Doran is highly qualified in all six
categories . Therefore , we ask that you give us serious consideration
is selecting our firm as City Prosecutors .
Sincerely,
JOHNSON & DORAN

Minneapolis , Minnesota 55418
Dear Mr. Childs :
In further clarification of my proposal to represent the City of
St. Anthony in criminal prosecutions., and in response to your request
for specific information, I am pleased to provide the following:
(1) I , personally, am very familiar with the procedure and law
related to criminal prosecutions because I have defended
against such prosecutions on a regular basis for more than
thirteen ( 13) years. This experience includes several jury
trials in gross misdemeanor cases , dozens of court and jury
trials in DWI cases , and numerous trials on other offenses
such as assault-, careless/wreckless driving, and other
traffic related cases , ordinance violations , etc. I have
prosecuted appeals in such cases to District Court, to
three-judge District Court panels , and .to the Minnesota
Supreme Court.
While I may do the prosecution work at the onset, it is not
my intention to ,continue to personally perform that job. Our
office staff currently consists of two attorneys , a part-time
paralegal, a part-time secretary and a full-time secretary/
legal assistant. It is our intention to add another experienced
attorney to assist in the present workload. If we are performing
prosecutorial services for the City of St. Anthony, we will add
an attorney with experience in the area of criminal prosecutions.
We have considered an attorney currently working as an assistant
county attorney and another currently working as an assistant
city attorney. We expect that a new attorney would be a long-
term employee and would continue to handle the St. Anthony
prosecutions. In any case, I would retain supervisory
responsibility over, the performance of that task and would
• maintain close contact with the council, police department
and other responsible city employees.
Mr. David Childs •
February 24 , 1983
Page 2
(2) Obviously, our office is very accessible to the police. To my
knowledge, it is the only law office within the city limits .
It is never closed for vacations. There is often times an
attorney working on evenings or weekends. During working
hours , telephone lines are always answered by an employee as
opposed to an answering service or machine. We do not now,
nor do we expect to have , unlisted home telephone numbers,
and in emergencies , could be reached at home..
( 3) As I have previously indicated, I believe that there should
be an open line of communication between the police department
and the attorney who represents them. I believe this will occur
somewhat automatically because of existing acquaintances and
the proximity of our office , however, some regular meetings
or memos are appropriate and necessary.
(4) Based upon the information that we have received as to the
number and type of prosecutions , we would represent the City
in these matters at a fixed fee of $1,500 per month for a
twelve-month period expiring no later than June 1, 1984.
This fee assumes that there is no substantial increase in
the amount of work to. be performed which results from changes
in existing enforcement procedure , prosecution procedure, such
as prohibitions against plea negotiations , or applicable law.
In addition , no prosecutorial appeals would be included in
that f-ee, and the preparation of appellate briefs in an appeal
by a defendant would be considered a reimbursable out-of-pocket
expenditure.
I trust that this information is helpful to you.
Yours very truly,?,
G'

Re: Misdemeanor Prosecutions for Ci tl7 of St. Anthon�7
Dear Tor. Childs :
We have received your .request For ,?rcposals for prosecu-
tion services for the City of St. Ant.>iony ancl thank you for the
opportunity to r-spond. Following is our proposal :
Experience In Criminal Prosecutions and
Certainty of Long-Term Assignment
The firm of Popham, Haik, Sc::nobrich, Kaufman & Doty, Ltd. ,
has considerable experience in handling misdemeanor prosecutions,
as well as dealing with other police department and law enforce-
ment issues. The office is currently prosecuting attorney for the
Cities of Orono, Minnetrista, St. Bonifacius and Mound. The office
also represents Forum Insurance Company, which insures numerous
municipalities and other governmental agencies. In that capacity,
we have handled several cases involving civil liability of police
= officers. We represent the City of St. Louis Park in all civil
matters affecting the police department, and act as that City' s
special prosecutor. We also represent the Hennepin County Chiefs
z of Police Association and the Minneapolis Park Board Police. In
5 serving the needs of these clients, the individual attorneys who
would represent the City of St. Anthony have developed expertise
in all types of police matters.

Mr. David Childs •

We propose that Scott Richter be appointed prosecuting
attorney for the City of St . Anthony. Scott is a recent graduate
of the Stanford Law School, wher he specialized in criminal pro-
cedure issues and particularly i:. sues of search and seizure. We
would like to emphasize, however, that if the City does retain him
as its prosecuting attorney it would be retaining our entire law
firm, including many attorneys who have substantial experience with
police departments and police issues .
Desyl Peterson is the prosecu .or for Mound, Minnetrista and
St. Bonifacius and is the law firm partner with supervising respon-
sibility for prosecutions . She has :)een a prosecutor with this
firm for the past 3-1/2 years . Tom Radio is the prosecuting attor-
ney for the City of Orono, having recently assumed those duties from
Ms. Peterson. Both of these individuals would occasionally handle
some St. Anthony matters in Scott Richter' s absence. Frederick
Brown was prosecutor for the City of Orono for six years and also
a special prosecutor for the City of Minneapolis. Janie 2--iayeron •
was the prosecutor for Golden Valley for three years prior to
joining our firm. Clifford Greene has an expertise in the area
of police civil liability and* has given numerous lectures on that '
subject. All of their services are available for the effective
representation of your City.
If this office is selected to represent the City of St.
Anthony, it is proposed that Scott Richter will serve :as lead pro-
secuting attorney for a term of at least three years. Our exper-
ience indicates that his tenure is likely to be even longer than
that, and, of course, any changes in the representation would
occur only in consultation with the City.
Availability
Popham, Haik' s offices are located in downtown Minneapolis,
near the Courthouse where arraignments take place, and only a 20
minute drive from the St. Anthony police department offices. Geo-
graphical location should pose no problems for this firm in pro-
viding effective services for the City. It should be noted that
the firm will not charge for any transportation time between its
office and the court or� the police department. 1

In our experience as city prosecutor, we understand that
problems often arise during non-working hours. In order to deal
with these problems as they arise, the firm will be pleased to
provide the home telephone numbers of Scott Richter and Desyl
Peterson.
Proposed Training and Instruction of Patrol Officers
If retained by the City of St. Anthony to perform prose-
cution services , this firm proposes to conduct the following
seminars, to be scheduled at the City ' s convenience : '
1 . Guidelines for Courtroom Procedure and
Effective Prosecution of Misdemeanor Cases
2 . Periodic Updates on Developments in Criminal
Law and Procedure
• 3 . Civil Liability of Police- Officers
4 . Guidelines for Release of Police Department
Records Under the Data Practices Act
5 . Others at the Suggestion of the City or as
the Need Becomes Apparent
Fee Structure
Popham, Haik proposes to handle the misdemeanor prosecutions
for the City of St. Anthony for a retainer fee not to exceed $1, 500/
month for the remainer of 19'83 . Under this billing scheme, the
$1, 500 figure will be a maximum fee per month. If for any month
the hourly fees for services actually performed would be less than
$1, 500, then only that amount would be billed. Scott Richter ' s nor-
mal billing rate is $55 . 00 per hour. Tom Radio ' s normal billing rate
is also $55.00 per hour, while Desyl Peterson' s is $78 . 00 per hour.
Rates for other attorneys who may be consulted include: Frederick
Brown - $120. 00; Clifford Greene - $90. 00; and Janie Mayeron -
$78 . 00.

Firm Philosophy in Handling
Misdemeanor Prosecutions
This firm's philosophy in handling the prosecution of mis-
demeanor cases is to minimize the expense to the City as much as
possible, while assuring that the City meets its responsibility
to see that citizens are held accountable for their actions. We
handle as many matters as possible over the phone rather than in
person at the court, and negotiate pleas rather than forcing cases
to trial . There are, however, guidelines which we follow in the
negotiation of pleas, and if a defendant refuses to be reasonable,
we will take matters to trial . We consult with the officers in-
volved in the disposition of particular matters and seek to support
them in the handling of these cases. But, in the final analysis,
it is our duty to dispose of any case in the best interests of the
City, taking into consideration the judge assigned, his or her
opinion regarding the case, and the legal and factual strength of
the case.
As described above, the services which we provide as prose-
cuting attorney go beyond those of merely representing the City
in court. We prepare updates for the officers as new case law and • III
statutory law develop; we advise on-duty officers regarding the
handling of cases, including calls at home as necessary; we prepare
disposition summaries of each case for the city manager, chief of
police and arresting officer for purposes of information and ac-
countability; and we assist in other matters, including training
seminars, upon request.
Retention of this firm for prosecution services offers sig-
nificant economies of scale . Information and procedures developed
for one city are passed on to the other cities at a nominal cost.
For example, we were recently requested by the St. Bonifacius/
Minnetrista Police Commission to formulate suggested ordinances for
certain violations. In the process, we realized that the City of
Orono did not have one of the ordinances suggested and that the
language of another could be improved. Similarly, the information
learned at a speeding trial for the City of St. Bonifacius was
passed on to the City of Orono with a suggestion for improved pro-
cedures.

received a permit, shall be deemed to be legal non-conforming signs.
Legal non-conforming signs may continue to exist without a permit
and without constituting a violation of this ordinance until one
or more of the following occurs:
a. The sign is structurally altered (except for normal maintenance)
in a way which makes the sign less in compliance with this
ordinance than it was before the alteration.
b. The sign is relocated to a position making it less in compliance
with this ordinance than it was before the relocation.
c. The sign is replaced.
d. Any new primary sign is erected or placed in connection with
the enterprise using the legal non-conforming sign.
Section 430:60. Enforcement: if a sign is in violation of this ordinance, or is in
danger of falling, or is otherwise a menace to the safety of persons or property,
the City Manager may give to the owner of the property on which the sign is located
written notice specifying the violation, ordering the cessation thereof and re-
quiring either the removal of the sign or remedial work in the time and manner
specified in the notice. In the event of failure to comply with the notice within
30 days, the City Manager may remove the sign or cause such remedial work to be
done, and the cost thereof shall be paid to the City by the owner of the property
on which the sign is located. If payment is not made within 30 days after a
statement for such costs is sent to the owner, the costs may be assessed against
the property by certifying the costs to the County Treasurer for collection in
the same manner as the real estate taxes. If a sign which has been removed is
not reclaimed and costs paid within 30 days after its removal, the sign may be
sold or otherwise disposed of by the City. If a sign is found to be an immediate
danger to the public because of its unsafe condition, it may be removed without
notice and written notice of removal and reasons for such shall be given to the
owner of the property on which it is located as soon as possible.
Section 430:65. Penalty. Violation of this Ordinance shall be a penal offense
and upon conviction thereof shall be punishable as in this code provided for each
such offense. Each day that the violation is permitted to exist shall constitute
a separate offense.
This ordinance shall be effective after its adoption and publication.
