7. COMMUNICATIONS
a. Post Office Truck Traffic Pattern
The Planning Commission recommended that no action be taken on
this matter.
Councilmember Nawrocki took exception to no action being
taken. Tyler Place, which is being used by Post Office trucks,
is a residential street, and not one which should be used by
heavy trucks.
When the street is repaired benefitting properties are
assessed. In the past the Post Office has refused to pay
assessments as well as taxes. Counci]member Nawrocki suggested
an alternative could be for the Post Office to make a separate
access on the west side of the building adjacent to the outlet
presently in place onto 44th Avenue.
Councilmember Peterson felt the present arrangement was safer.
He inquired if any state aid funding could be used for the
upkeep of Tyler Place. The City Manager advised this use would
not meet the criteria as Tyler Place does not connect with a
state aid street on both ends.
The City Attorney observed that trucks contracted for by the
Post Office may not have the immunity granted to the Post
Office which allows them to be used on residential streets. He
will pursue this matter.
Motion by Peterson, second by Ruettimann to direct staff to
contact state and federal elected officials to aid Columbia
Heights in this matter. The matters of overweight trucks being
used and another access being available should be mentioned.
Roll call: All ayes
b. Parking and Traffic Circulation for Proposed Expansion of
Radiator Shop - 4201 Central Avenue
The owner of the business stated he would prefer to have a
variance so he could locate his new building farther back on
the lot. Then the dumpster could be placed in a location which
would not require a curb cut on 42nd Avenue and also give him
better use of his property.
Discussion continued regarding what would be required if he
placed his building at the eastern most point of the lot. This
matter would also have to be reviewed by the Planning and
Zoning Commission.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
OCTOBER ll, 1993
PAGE 13
Motion by Ruettimann, second by Murzyn to table this item for
further information. Roll call: All ayes
b. Miske Building - HRA Action
Councilmember Nawrocki stated that the HRA had taken action
regarding the development of some property in a redevelopment
area of Fifth Street and 38th Avenue. He felt the approval
should have been subject to the concurrence of the City
Council in that there was tax increment involvement.
c. Action of Park Board
Councilmember Nawrocki noted that the Park and Recreation
Commission has waived fees for various school activites where
City buildings were used. He has also noted that the City has
paid fees for the use of some school facilities. He questioned
the equity of this.
Councilmember Ruettimann, who serves on the Park and
Recreation Commission, advised that there are only costs for
the use of school facilities by the City when they are used
during "off" hours and the services of a janitor are
necessary. He also advised these costs are subsidized by the
Athletic Boosters. He noted that when there are costs
associated with the School District using a City facility
these costs are passed on to them.
8. OLD BUSINESS
a. Police Department Command Staff
Councilmember Nawrocki had requested information regarding
members of the Police Department's command staff putting in
one shift on patrol duty on a regular basis. This was a
requirement passed by resolution. He felt the response from
the Police Chief was not responsive to the resolution,
particularly regarding the Sheffield Neighborhood.
Councilmember Ruettimann noted that this is the only time the
Council had mandated by resolution what hours an employee must
work. Councilmember Nawrocki did not agree with this stating
that its purpose was to have members of the command staff out
on the street when problems are occuring.
b. Alleged Violation Letter
Members of the Council received a letter from a patron of
Rainbow Foods and Walgreen Drug Store alleging improper
treatment of one of his friends.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
OCTOBER 11, 1993
PAGE 14
Members of the Council had contacted both of the stores
regarding this matter. Mayor Murzyn had spoken to a
representative of one of the stores but he felt the matter was
not within the jurisdiction of the City to handle.
Councilmember Nawrocki had spoken to a customer service
representative at Rainbow Stores and the Manager of Walgreen's
Drug and felt the issue had been satisfactorily handled.
9. NEW BUSINESS
a. Gambling License Request - Box Seat
A representative of the World Association of the Alcohol
Beverage Industries, Minnesota Chapter, explained the purpose
of the organization and the intended use of some of the
profits which would be realized from the operation at the Box
Seat.
Discussion followed regarding what is required by City
ordinance to qualify for a gambling license.
Motion by Nawrocki, second by Ruettimann to direct the City
Manager to advise the Minnesota Charitable Gambling Control
Board that the City is denying the issuance of a gambling
license to World Association of the Alcohol Beverage
Industries, Inc., Minnesota Chapter, for gambling activities
at Box Seat Sports Bar & Grill because it does not comply to
City ordinance. Roll call: All ayes
Members of the Council requested the City Manager to verify
some information regarding the sports bar specifically
relative to a liquor license approval, site plan approval and
parking requirements.
b. Final Payment for Municipal Project 9031 - Sealcoatinq
Northwest Quadrant
Motion by Peterson, second by Clerkin to accept the work for

Minneapolis, Mn. in an amount of $12,570.23. Roll call: All
ayes
c. Special Police Patrol in Sheffield Neighborhood
Councilmember Nawrocki inquired what funds have been used to
pay the costs to date associated with this police patrol. The City
Manager advised the funds have been absorbed into the general fund
budget using overtime money. Councilmember Nawrocki did not think
this had been authorized.
