5. Public Hearings
A. 7 :45 p.m. Revenue Sharing Budget Hearing. The City Manager
will discuss how funds have been allocated in the proposed 1978
budget and possible alternatives, perhaps in purchasing some
of the necessary vehicles and equipment.
• ACTION: Hold hearing, review use of the funds.
B. 8:00 p.m. Assessment Hearing on Street Improvement Project
1976-1 (29th Avenue N.E. ) . The City Council will have to set
the interest rate on the unpaid portion of these assessments and
the length of the repayment period. I would suggest an interest
rate of not less than 6% (the legal maximum is 8%) and a ten
year repayment period. I will be prepared to advise on deferred
assessments.
ACTION: Hold hearing, review disputed assessments , if any;
set interest rate and term, adopt Resolution 77-047.
C. 9 : 00 p.m. Hearing on Proposed Reassessments and Apportionment
of Assessments (Apache Plaza and Diamond 8 Apartment area) .
Our special legal counsel is to be present to advise. The
Council will have to set the interest rate on the unpaid portion
of these assessments and the length of the repayment period.
The past precedent for commercial properties is 8% interest and
about 10 years.
ACTION: Hold hearing, review disputed reassessments and
apportionments, if any; set interest rate and term,
adopt Resolution 77-048 adopting the assessment roll
(the attorney is to bring this resolution to the meeting) .
• 6 . Ordinances and Resolutions

The resolution decreases the appropriation in the winter
part-time maintenance account and increases the appropriation
in the summer part-time -maintenance account.
ACTION: Recommend Approval.
B. Resolution 77-046 . A Resolution Modifying the 1977 Budget.
This is an "in and out" transfer of funds received from the City
of Columbia Heights for gasoline to increase the appropriation
to the account from which gasoline is purchased.
ACTION: Recommend Approval .
7. Old Business
A. American Legion Post No. 513 request for an "on-sale" club
liquor license. The City attorney has made a very thorough re-
view of Statutes regulating the issuance of these licenses .
As noted, it appears that State Statutes are confusing. The
City attorney feels that the City does have the authority to
issue such a license but points out several requirements and/
or' problems. If the Council wishes to grant the license, I
recommend the following conditions : (1) The license be restricted
to the present confines of the Club or, better yet, the basement
level (on the application the Post specifies "basement" - this
• would be agreeable to them) ; (2) The Club be required to also
be licensed for a "set-up" license at $300 per year, and (3) The
license be nonrenewable, if legally permissible (see attorney' s
comments page 5) . It should also be noted that the City can
require a $3 ,000 - $5, 000 surety bond. The Legion possesses a
$3,000 bond plus they will have $100 ,000 in Dram Shop liquor
insurance. The license application is dated (notarized) Septem-
ber 15th, exactly one-half year from the March 15th license
expiration date so under City ordinance they could be charged
$50. 00 rather than $100.00 for the license. The Club would
not start operations until October 1, 1977 .
ACTION: Review and, if all facts are present, decide on
the issuance.
8. New Business - None
9 . Communications/Petitions
A. Metro Transit Commission re: passenger waiting shelters. The
shelter at approximately 4000 Silver Lake Road has been approved
and one is contemplated at 37th and Silver Lake Road. If you
have any ideas, let me know.
ACTION: Make proposals where the Council feels there is
a need and sufficient room.

(2)
• B. Minnesota Department of Transportaton re: Bikeway Grant
application. I don't know if we have any needs or could qualify
but I thought I would bring it to the Council 's attention.
ACTION: Review, file.
C. Chemical Dependency Task Force Report. The group met recently
and wants to begin an action program. A group, perhaps with
the same membership, will have to develop the specifics and
operation of the program and will probably require some funding,
at least in "seed" money from the City. Grants and CETA employ-
ees are future possible funding/staffing sources . Councilman
Stauffer will discuss. The power and responsibilities of the
group will have to be specified.
ACTION: Review and advise.
D. Election Judges list for the November 8th Election. State law
now permits us to assign judges to polling places outside their
precincts. We have problems getting judges in Ramsey County.
ACTION: Review and, if satisfactory, approve.
10. Reports
A. Investment report for January - August 1977. Interest rates are
somewhat low but I think we are getting a decent return and we
• are trying to maximize the amount of funds invested.
ACTION: Information, file.
B. Public Works Department Report. No major problems encountered;
things are going fairly well.
ACTION: Informational , file.
