Roll call: Hovland, Petkoff, Norberg, Nawrocki--aye Hentges--nay 4. Oral Petitions A resident whose property is adjacent to the parking ramp in the downtown redevelopment area had two concerns. She questioned who was responsible for cutting the grass next to the parking ramp. The Director of the HRA advised her that it was his understanding that she was to maintain that area. Councilman Hentges recalled that the ramp wall was moved five feel from the lot line to accommodate her request before the ramp was built. It was understood she would maintain this area as any homeowner would maintain a boulevard. The Mayor requested that the City Manager prepare a written report on this matter for the Council. The resident's second concern dealt with the dirt from the construction site in the area and the condiLion of the street in front of her home. Some discussion followed regarding whose responsibility it was to keep this area presentable. Roger Jensen said he has had numerous discussions with the contractor on this matter and the City Manager advised the Council that the street would be paved in the very near future. The Mayor reminded staff this condition should be controlled as mandated by ordinance and requested that a letter be sent to the contractor regarding his responsibility. Another resident advised the Council that there is a window in the City Hall that should have a more appropriate covering than it presently has. 5. Ordinances and Resolutions a.

First Reading: August 23, 1982 6. Communications a. Columbia Junior High School Replatting The Council had received a letter from District #13 School Board requesting that the Council reconsider the dollar amount of the contribution to be made by the School Board for park purposes approved with the replatting of the Columbia property. Jim Lindstrom, Chairman of the School Board, addressed the matter on behalf of the School Board. Much discussion fol- lowed regarding the reopening of the hearing that dealt with the replatting of the Columbia property. Minutes of that hearing (July 19th) were distributed. It was noted that if this hearing were reopened the replatting process would have to be interrupted and the hearing uld require a thirty day public notice. Mayor Nawrocki felt this reopened hearing should dress all items previously discussed at the first hearing in fairness to the residents who are affected and have attended public hearings by commissions and the previous Council public hearing. Councilman Norberg was advised by the City Attorney that the reopened hear- ing could speak to only part of the first hearing. Norberg felt the reopened hearing should deal with only the monies contributed for park purposes which was the concern of the School Board. Motion by Norberg to call a hearing in a timely fashion to consider the request of the School Board. Motion dies for lack of a second. Motion by Hentges, second by Petkoff to deny the request of the School Board to reconsider the dollar amount requested by the City Council to be dedicated for park purposes. Mayor Nawrocki noted he had previously expressed a position of willingness to negotiate an al- ternative to the total of the monies if consideration were given for extended use of the gyms in the Columbia School building for community purposes. Councilwoman Petkoff observed that the hearing held on the project for Fifth Street and the hearing for this replatting were analogous in that all affected residents were notified and no one authorized to speak for the School Board attended the replatting hearing. She felt both situations should be treated the same. Councilman Norberg mentioned that both bodies, the City Council and the School Board, aye working for the same people and a solution to this matter should be a joint effort. Substitute motion by Nawrocki to reconsider the action taken at the special meeting of July 19th relative to the approval of replatting of Columbia School and that the City Manager be authorized to advertise a new hearing on the subject and at that hearing the Council would properly consider the request of the School Board in the context of the action in which the Council took its action at that meeting. Motion dies for lack of a second. The Chairman of the School Board was asked if he could support this motion. He responded ~at since the building had already been sold he could not answer because of legal questions may have.

Astro City Playstructure Property owners whose homes are near Huset Park expressed their objections for the place- ment of the playstructure in Huset Park. Their prime concern was for the safety of the children who would be playing on it. It was noted that all equipment in parks had a measure of risk if they were not used properly. The Council had original]y approved the removal of this structure from another park and authorized its erection in Huset Park with the understanding that additional safety measures would be put into place before it was set up. The residents were against it being put up at a]l. Motion by Pe~koff, second by Hov]and to concur with the Park Board recommendation not to place the Astro City Playstructure in any park in the City, to dismantle the structure and sell the parts or to find a buyer for the entire structure.

Reallocation of Funds Motion by Petkoff, second by Nawrocki to authorize the Park Board to purchase a play structure for Mathaire Park in place of resurfacing the Huset Park west tennis courts. Councilman Norberg suggested, in view of the budgetary cuts, that this expenditure could be eliminated by no[ reallocating these funds.

Proposed Agreement with Northwestern Electronics Institute This proposed agreement has as its purpose to assign responsibilities for maintaining storm drainage util;ty easements and drainage facilities. This agreement would also commit North- western Electronics Institute to allow use of the driveway located on the west side of the school building by Jackson Street residents. Mayor Nawrocki expressed a concern that these responsibilities may not be undertaken by any succeeding owners of the Columbia school property and doubted if any agreement could be written that would guarantee this. Motion by Norberg, second by Petkoff to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute an agreement with Northwestern Electronlcs Institute providing for maintenance of storm drainage utility easements, drainage facilities, and public access to their driveway lo- cated off Jackson Street, and, furthermore, if the City Attorney selects suitable language agreeable to both parties relating to the placing of restrictions to succeeding property owners that it be included.
