paying for the o ther ha 1 f'.' .
Mr. Milbert: "Do we have a police car without a radio"?
Mr. Brubacher: "No we don't, but we were going to put the new
radior�in one of the police cars, and take the radio from the
police car, and put it into either the new Valient or into one
of the Street Dept. trucks, we don't know for sure just which
� yet".
Mr. Harriman: "Does the Mana.ger have the item in the budget"?
Mr. Brubacher: "No, it is not in the budget".
Mr. Else moved and Mr. Hanley seconded the motian:�that the firm
of Motorola Inc. be awarded the bid to furnish the City of Iiopkins

Mr. Else: "Is spraying necessary"?
Mr. Ha.nley: "From what we are hearing and reading it is more
necessary this year than ever before".
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, we believe it is necessary".
Mr. Hanley: "Is there any way we can tell if we are getting a good
job"? "Can the work be policed"?
Mr. Strojan: "We spot check the trees, and watch the work as it
is being done from time to time".
Mr. Hanley: "The recommendations from Standard are good".
Mr. Else: "Does this price include private trees"?
Mr. Pokorny, Jr.: "Will they carry into private yards at this
price"?
Mr. Brubacher: "We will certainly let the public know of the
spraying and encourage them to contact Fournier to do private
trees".
Mr. Milbert: "Will they do personal trees"?
." Mr. Harrima.n: "I don't think we should encourage one firm over
anyother, we can't tell the people to use Frournier".
Mr. Milbert: "We can let the public know we are spraying our
City trees and then they can have their own trees done at the
same time if they want to. How many trees do we have'�?
Mr. Brubacher: "The first year we did about 2,000 trees; the
bid was based on 1,500 but can be increased or decreased at this
price".
Mr. Else: "Do we have some trees sampled, after the spraying"?
-3-
Mr. Strojan: "Yes, we did before and will again, we sent some to
Chicago".
Mr. Else: "Will we do this same thing again"?
Mr. Strojan: "Yes, we wi11 send samples to both the University
and Standard".
Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Pokorny, Jr. seconded the motion that the low
bid of Fournier Tree Service be awarded the bid to furnish the City

1-C: The Zoning and Planning Co�nission recommend approval of the re
quest ma.de by Schna.bel-Reidel for a building permit to construct a
proposed industrial building in an Industrial Zone on Lots 1 throug 12,
Block 57, West Minneapolis, or 636 - llth Avenue South.
;
Mr. Strojan: "This section was re-zoned in January".
Mr. Pokorny, Jr., "Did we approve the deal at that time"?
Someone: "Yes".
Mr. Hanley: "I surely reco�nend that we set the building closer
to the street and in that way leave more parking space off the
alley".
Mr. Pokorny, Jr.: "Will the building be started to soon so that
it will interfere with the installation of the Sewer and Water"?
John Strojan: "No, it will not be started that soon".
Mr. Pokorny, Jr. "moved and Mr. Hanley seeonded the motion that the
request ma.de by Schna.bel-Reidel for a building permit to construct
a proposed industrial building on the above mentioned lots with a
variance of a twenty (20) foot set back be approved. The motion
carried.

2-C: The Zoning and Planning Commission recommend approval of the re-
quest of Mr. Gordon W. Keesling for a building permit application to con-
struct a single family residence on a 40 foot lot at 634 - 6th Avenue South
with the proviso that the resident on the North, Mr. & Mrs. Ernest N. Forde
of 630 - 6th Avenue South, be notified by letter that the application
will appear before the City Council at it's March 6th, 1962 meeting.
Mr. Keesling was present and presented his building plans.
A letter from Mr. and Mrs. Forde protesting the building was read.
Mr. Milbert: "You own 100 ffet and you have one house on it,
and now you wish to build a second house on this same 100 feet,
is that right"?
Mr. Keesling: "Yes, a 26 foot home". "I want to use 40 feet of
my 100 foot lot for the new home".
Someone: "Can't you change your plans in some way so that you wont
have to build so close to your line"?
Mr. Keesling: "No, then that would split up the yard so that
there wouldn't be a yard there for either of the houses". "My
own home or the new one".
Someone: "But you don't mind building close to the people on the
other side of you".
Mr. Keesling: "When I added on to my own house here a couple of
years ago no one said anything about my not being able to build on
the rest of my lot when I was ready to do so".
Mr. Milbert: "Wont you try to get your plans changed to make it
possible to build further South so that you can be further from
your North lot line"?
Mr. Keesling: "No, I have tired".
Q�
Mr. Vesely: "If a party had owned the lot in question before July 7,
1956, he cannot now build on forty feet of it". "If he was to
purchase a forty foot lot since July 7, 1956, he could then build
on it". Sect. 11 Subd. 18: Dwellings on small lots.
Mr. Milbert: "It has been the past pra�tice of the Council to
deny permits when there are variances".
Mr. Harrima.n: "Any variance which is protested by anyone is denied".
Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Harrima.n seconded the motion that the
request by Mr. Gordon W. Keesling for a building permit application
to construct a single family residence on a 40 foot lot at 634 -
6th Avenue South be denied based on the fact that the resident
on the North, Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Forde of 630 - 6th Avenue South
had protested the building of the house. The motion carried.'
The Rev. Heuser, ask Mr. Brubacher if the On-Sale Intoxicating liquor
licenses could be taken up at this time as both he and the Rev. Stohl had
other meetings.
Mayor Milbert agreed and ask that Mr. Rogers and Mr. Otto, representing
the Sheehan Co. present their request for an 6n-Sale liquor license.
Mr. Rogers presented the plans for the 24 lane bowling alley with plans to
further expand the alley to a 32 lane building at a later date. He ex-
plained the building would have two storeis. H� presented the Architect's
drawing of the proposed building. He expla�ned the building would have
two stories. The second story would have a very nice resturant and oocttail
lounge overlooking the bowling lanes. That the building could not be built
without the liquor license as there would be no use for the second floor.
Mr. Otto: "We do not have a good restruant open on Sunday here
in Hopkins".
-6-
Mr. Otto: "The Sheehan Co. have had a feeler concerning bids
for the State bowling tourney for 1963". "This would mean about
1000 bowling teams would be coming into Hopkins":
Mr. Harriman: "Would the tourney take place:,on Sunday"?
Mr. Otto: "Yes, on Saturday and Sunday".
Mr. Otto: "This business would bring into the City the same
revenue tax wise as one hundred (100) $15,000. homes, tax-
wise". "The building will cost around $880,000.00".
Someone: "What will happen to the building being used now as
a bowling alley"?
Mr. Rogers: "It will not take to much to fix it up so that is
can be used for most anything. The ceilings are high and it
shouldn't be hard to rent it".
Someone: "Who ownes that building, the Sheehan"?
Mr. Rogers: "No, The Eden Prairie Development Corp. which is
controlled by Mr. Herb and Lee'�1Kason and Mr. Pete Leamon".
Someone: "Who will own the new building"?
Mr. Rogers: "The new building will be owned by Tom, Jim and John
Sheehan and myself".
Someone: "Will the brick treatment be only on the East side."?
Mr. Rogers: "No the East side will be of decorative concrete
block and will be landscaped; we put in some shrubs last fall".
Mr. Hanley: "There will be no entrance from 20th"?
Mr. Roger: "No".
The Rev. Heuser: "We know that we all want places of this type
that will bring in money, but we do not want to increase the num�er
-7-
of liquor license, is there a place:^where we can take away a
license to give to this place"?
Mayor Milbert: "Adding one more license is still within our limit".
Mr. Heuser: "All will not be profit, we �i:t� have extra police etc.u.
Mayor Milbert: "I doubt if we could support tan,�,�lace:�'.'.
�. ��.
Mr. Heuser: Individuals will have to push liquor hard to get
enough business in just liquor".
Mr. Otto: Prsently an On-Sale license to a private Club ma.y
possibly not be re-applied for; that's the Elks Club". "The
increase in license fees, and the fact that all is not working
_ out just as well as they felt it would".
Mayor Milbert: "Are you suggesting that we cut off the Elks Club"?
Mr. Otto: "No, I am not, but I do feel from various ones I have
talked with that that license will be available.".
"However, The Sheehan Com must get going or,they can't be re�.dy by
fall". "They want to be ready for the fall bowling". "Three of
the firm have had �n On-Sale place in Hopkins before and they have
good backgorunds". "They ran a clean place, a clean�operation".
Mr. Heuser: "I �till feel that we have enough places in Hopkins".
"Can't we somehow keep the On-Sale places at eight"?
Mr. Hanley: "We could do so come 1963". "Just limit the number
and pick our spots, however we would have to cut someone else".
"We believe however that there is some question as to the application
of some of the places applying again in 1963".
Mr. Ray Lewis spoke against the issuing of another license by
saying: "This would be a high-class place, lsa.t a person starts
out in that sort of a place and then works his way down to the
cheaper places". "We are an island adjoined by dry communities",
people will just come to Hopkins to drink".
�
Mr. Heuser: "If we are going to issue a license, this is a good
place to give it to, but I wonder would it be possible to buy a
present license that is for sale"?
Mr. Hanley: "Licenses:can no longer be transferred since we passed
our last Ordinance".
Mr. Heuser: "Well, it could be done".
Mr. Hanley: "They could buy a place,,then close it, and in that
Ja
way get a license".
Mr. Otto: Explained that the revenue from the bowling alley would
be around $8,000.00 or more to the City than the taxes recieved
from anyother one business place of this type','.
Mr. Otto: This firm is asking for a liquor license, not just a
bar license' ;'.
Someone: "How about the parking"?
Mr. Otto: "There wi11 be parking for about 50'/, on the property
around the lanes, with room for around 200 cars. The building
will be set back with a boulevard in front. All of the parking
will be at the side or in the back".
Pastor Stohl of Gethsema.ne Luther Church: "I'm concerned with
the moral climate of the co�nunity. I do not feel I would be
doing my duty if I did not say that issuing additional liquor
licenses will contribute to a situation in the community I
� simply cannot endorse. The liquor industry does not contribute
to the moral climate of the City. I don't know Mr. Sheehan, but
I want to register my feelings for the fact that I feel the
issuing of more licenses will down grade the community:'.
Mr. Heuser: ��I feel we should limit the number of licenses, I
don't want a Washington Avenue here".
-9-
�
Mr. Hanley: "If you limit the rnunber of course the ones we have
besome more valua.ble:'
Mr. Heuser: "But where are we going to stop, you raised the
number of licenses to ten and pretty soon the number will just
go on up".
Mayor Milbert: "The number of licenses can't go higher, ten is
the limit. They are limited by our population".
Mr. Harrima.n: "Yes, ten is the limit, we would have to grow to
25,000 before we could issue more licenses than th�t even if we
wanted to".
Mr. Else moved and Mr. Ha.rriman seconded the motion that the
application for a liquor license to the Sheehan Co. be denied.
The motion carried. Mx. Hanley voted no. Mayor Milbert not voting.
Mayor Milbert: "Mr. Ronnei do you want to present your plans now?
Mr. Ronnie: I don't know if I do or not".
Mr. Ronnie: However Mr. Ronnie presented his plans for the improve-
ments he is planning for his building on the South West corner of
Monk and Excelsior Avenues. After a short exchange of words con-
cerning his plans the following motion was ma.de.
Mr. Harrima.nd moved and Mr. Else seconded the motion that the
application for an On-Sale liquor license be denied to Mr. Ronnie.
The motion carried. Mr. Pokorny, Jr. voting Ho. Ma.yor Milbert not
voting.
Hr. Heuser: He expressed his hopes that the Council would give
some consideration.to setting up a Commission or board to look
into the applications for liquor Iicenses and their problems
so that the better type of places would be granted the available
licaaees.

3-C: A building permit application by C�estland Properties to move a
house from 21- llth Avenue South to 233 - 9th Avenue North.
Mayor Milbert: "Have the residence on 9th and 8th Avenues North
been notified of the intentions of Crestland Properties"?
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, they have'; an3 showed the Councilmen
a copy of the letter mailed to all the residence on the two
avenues.
Ma.yor Milbert: "And you have had no replies"?
Mr. Brubacher: "No, we haven't heard from any of them. The
house in question is about the age of half of the homes in that
area, however",
Mayor Milbert: "Mr. Strojan, have you looked at this home"?
Mr. Strojan; "Yes, I Ha.ve". He, Mr. Strojan past pictures of the
home around and also explained that the home was about the age of
�ny of the homes in the area. Mr. Strojan, also said that there
some newer homes as well but that the home that was proposed to
be mailed was the age of the older homes.
Major Milbert: "And no one has objected"?
Mr. Harrima.n moved and Mr. Hanley seconded the motion that
Crestland Properties be granted the permit to move the home.
the motion carried.
Mr. Hanley stated that he had noticed the letter ma.iled to the
, home owners was not dated: "Was it the practice of the office
to ma.il undated letters"?
Mr. Brubacher: "The letter was sent from downstairs, but he
felt it was an over-sight, and that all other letters were sent
out dated".
-11-
4-C. A request by Northwestern Bell Telphone Co. for permission to
place buried cable on llth Avenue South from County road �k3 to a
point 127 feet South. (To serve the former City of Hopkins' garage
building).
Mayor Milbert to Mr. Strojan: "What do they want to do this
for"?
Mr. Harrima.n: "Didn't we have a phone in the old garage"?
Someone: "It wont interfere with the new sewer or waterl%
plans wi�l it"?
Someone: "I suppose they want to get rid of that old pole they
have out there".
Mr. Strojan: "The underground cable will be laid a good 8 feet
�
from the edge of the black top and shouldn't interfere in
anyway with the water and sewer plans or the road".
Mr. Else moved and Mr. Hanley seconded the motion that the
Northwestern Bell Telephone Co, be granted permission to
lay the under ground cable. The motion carried.
5-C. A request by Mr. Elmo Ginkel to appear befor'e the City Conncil
regarding the construction requirements for an apartment at 434 Monk
Avenue.
Mr. Blomquist reported on having visited the construction site
at 434 Monk Avenue. Mr. Blomquist said he found many variations
from the original building plans. Mr. Blomquist said he had
ask Mr. Ginkel to come before the Council to discuss these
variations.
Mayor Milbert: "Who took out the original building permit and
specs?"
Mr. Storjan: "A Mr. Warren Rietz brought 'in the original plans".
-12-
The building is still Mr. Rietz but it is now being built by Mr Ginkel.
Mr. Ginkel: Mr. Ginkel presented the Councilmen with a letter
he had written concerning the construction as saw it at 434
Monk Avenue.
Mr. Bloomquist: I feel sure that the building does not meet with
our building codes. The problems are basic and the building
has gone so�far and there are so many things not up to code and
that should be re-built. The joist are not as long as they should
be. They do not have the required 3" over-lape. Today I checked
the floor joist and certainly do not feel that they meet the specs
on the plan. The over-lap is so short, Mr. Blomquist said, that
he does not see how they can be nailed withoutl.the boards split-
ting at the ends, there is just not enough ever-lap for nailing
space. The ceiling joists are particularly objectional; the joists
are so short that there will be only an 7/8" of lap; therefore
there will not be enough bearing surface for the.
Mayor Milbert: Clint, will you give us the exact points of
where the building differs from the plans?
Mr. Blomquist: There is not any support to hold the walls up.
�� bridging to keep the pressure from forcing the walls to give.
Mr. Ginkel: I never use bridging. The National Code on page 37 cover
c��.;�rs the requirements of the ceiling, the joist,and �o�s�notr'�s��ak
of joist.
Mr. Blomquist: Yes, but that is on home, there is a difference
between frame houses and appartment buildings.
Mr. Ginkel: Under your, or the City of Hopkins building code I
have meet the requirements as far as joists go. The Surety Code
hasn't any bridging requirements.
-13-
Mayor Milbert: But, Mr. Ginkel, you can see why we are interested.
You are building a building that will house at least thirty
families. We want to be sure that all is as it should be. Now,
Mr. Blomquist, will gou give the exact differences as you see
them as to what Mr. Ginkel is doing from the origina.l plans?
Mr. Blomquist: The roof joists, section 20 of the code states
that all joists of 8' or under in length must have a 3" over-lape
The closet walls are not to be used as, or considered as support-
ing walls: The stress of fur boards is I believe around 1200��,
but I don't know.
Ma.yor Milbert: Can�t you figure stresses? Isn't there anyone who
can figure the stresses?
Mr. Brubacher: Yes, John can figure anything you watn.
l�yor Milbert: Mr. Blomquist, what else. What other items are
there that seem to be different from the plans?
Mr. Blomquist: The hall ways and stairwells and closets were to be
plastered. Mr. Ginkel is using wall bo��d. Mr. Ginkel is following
the specs submitted.
Mr. Ginke�: The City code allows the use of sheet rock. Engineers
approve of sheet rock. Your engineers approved of the plans I
brought in when I started the project. John Strojan looked over
the plans.
Mr. Strojan: Yes, we looked over the plans when Mr. Ginkel changed
the specs, that is when he ask for permission to remove the pool
and add two extra appartments.
Mayor Milbert: Mr. Strojan, did you award the building permit on
the bases of the specs?
NLr. Strojan: Yes.
-14-
Ma.yor Milbert: "Did you check the specs, Mr. Strojan".
Mr. Strojan: "Yes, as best as I could do so".
Ma.yor Milbert: "Mr. Ginkel, do you have variances from the specs
as the.y were first presented to us"x
Mr. Ginkel: "Yes, without a doubt, but the building is within
the code. The Fire Insurance Under-writters approve of the 5/8"
sheet rock I am using, and the plans and rated time are all within
the code':. "I have never built a building where the plans or
material didn't conform with the code".
Mayor Milbert: "Is the building being built by the specs we
issued the building permit on"?
Mr. Blomquist: "No, I don't think so."
Mr. Ginkel: "I am following eht code".
Mr. Harriman: "Then we should be upgrading our Code if it
doesn't cover the necessities. But upgrading our Code doesn't
do us any good now. Is the use of sheet rock approved by our
present Code"?
Mr. Ginkel: "Yes, and I am using a 5/8" fire wall which carries
a one hour label between the appartments, on the floor and the
ceilings".
Mr. Harrima.n: "The variances between the code and the specs are
not our business if the building is under the code. It is just up
ot the building inspector to see that the building is up to code".
� Mr. Pokorny: "Mr Ginkel must compley with the code completly and
anything else over the code, well that is that".'
Mr. Blomquist: "Ceiling joists are.not tied together so that
they will hold or support the w�ight pro�erly".
-14-
Mr. Ginkel: "The roof bareings rest on 12' joist from the out-
side edge". Mr. Ginkel then went on to explain the building
plan of the roof; "saying that he is using a 7' from the collar
tie and with the nails placed in such a way as to give the
i
necessary support':
Mr. Blomquist: "The floor joists too haven't got the proper lap
to support the thrust, which are code requires, just a reasonable
lapr of 3" is all the code calls for, why, in some of the places
I checked the lap was only 12" and that sort of lap can�t stand
the bearing of the weight of the building. In the South wing a
lot of the joists have a lap of only 1 7/8". "And neither the lap
or the bearing are over the bearing walls. The 2 x 8 joists have
a 1 3/8" lap on both joists, not thet��e7/8" lap required".
Mr. Ginkel: A reasonable lap is from 2" or so from the end of
the lumber and then the lumber wont split".
Mr. Blomquist: "On bearing wal�s the lap should be not less than
6". Then on double plates at the joifit lap, the lap should be at
least 3" over that".
Mr. Ginkel: "All the work on.the inside has a 3" lap at places
of bearing or at least a 2 3/4" which would have to be if we were
to go by the code".
Mayor Milbert: " To Mr. Ginkel: "Are you building in the code"?
Mr. Ginkel: "Yes".
Mr. Blomquis t: "Then Elmo ask for a variance from the size of
the windows. There is suppose to be 10'/0 of the floor space,
window space. The specs call for this amount of window space.
The windows in the bedrooms are still all right because they
are built by the specs; but in the living room Elmo was going
-15-
said he was going to put in kitchen :.ventilators to take care of
smaller amount of window space called for in the living room and
kitchen. Now there are to be no ventilators. But the windows
have not been enlarged."
Mr. Ginkel: "I don't really see why I can't be allowed to build
as long as I am building under your code, and it is safe. But
if you want to make changes and we know what you want we will
do w�atever it is, I don't object; b.ufitin this case the plans
or specs were submitted a year before I took over. The plans
were then completely changed -----and put in the widow and
I did not cut from the plans':
Mr. Bloomquist: " The living room window space is fine but not
without the kitchen ventilator. The bridging and the ceiling
joists are really what I am interested in".
Mr. Harrima.n: "You want to bring the building up to code"?
Mr. Blomquist: "As the building inspector I should not except
less than a 3" overlap on the bidging and joists. The bearings
and the overlap on the floors."
Mr. Ginkel: "They are covered by the code, completely. However
if we know what you want we will comply".
Mr. Blomquist: "The bearings and overlaps on the floor shou�d
be 3" to accept the allowable stresses. It says so in the
National building code".
Ma.yor Milbert: Mr. Blomquist, can you figure the stress?
Mr. Brubacher: "�:dhn can figure them".
Mr. Else: "We are interested in the safety of the building. It is
the lack of proper inspection that ma.de it necessa'ry to have a
building inspector. Now we must inforce the code 100'/0".
Mr. Bloomquist: I am also concerned about the fire safety of the
-16-
building".
Mr. Ginkel: "I am using one hour lable sheet rock and have
draft stops in the proper places".
Mr. Bloomquist: "The stairwell is the worst place". It was to
be plasted. Elmo is using 5/8" sheet rock on the sides of the
halls and 5/8" sheet rock between apartments with 2" on the
apa��tments inner side walls. The stair well has 2" sheet
rock".
Mr. Ginkel: That might be so, I will have to talk to my ma.n,
he was to use only 5/8" on all sides ".
Mr. Blomquist: "The specs call for metal lath and plaster in
the halls and closets".
"Then too., a second set of specs were never submitted for the
changes that Elmo is making".
Mr. Ginkel: "You never ree�uired specs before. In all of the
building I have done I have always brought in just what I
brought in for this job".
Mayor Milbert: "The permit was issued on the first set of plans"?
Mr. Ginkel: "Yes, but as long as I was within the City code I
saw no reason to bring in other plans from what I usually submitted".
Mayor Milbert to Mr Ginkel: "Any plans for the stair wells
except the first plans"?
Mr. Ginkel: "No".
Mr. Milbert: "What do we have to do to bring the building up to
code"?
Mr. Ginkel: "The code I am building under was in existence when
the building was started".
Mr. Vesely: "I am sure that Mr. Ginkel must be held to the
-17-
building specs the permit was granted on. Code on no code. If
variances are to be ma.de they must be ma.de in writing or else
Mr. Ginkel must comply with the origina.l speds:' Mr. Besely based
his rema.rkds on the decision handed down by the Minn. courts.
Mr. Ginkel: "I feel I brogght in plans like I ususl have in
the past and there was no request for new specs. as such".
Mr. Strojan: "Mr. Ginkel brought in the plans he is building
with when he filed for the changes in the pool etc."
Mr. Ginkel: "I have been making application for building permits
without specs. right along. It could be either way in the past,
we could bring in plans or specs. but not both. The changes I
filed showed the swiming pool being removed and showing two
additional apartments added:'
Mr. Harriman: "Is it true that you must have an architect to
pass on plans before you can build�'?
Mr. Vesely: "No, it is not tnue, you need an architect only if
if is a public bailding".
Ma.yor Milbert: "We11, in this case I feel that you, Mr. Ginkel
should get together with Mr. Blomquist and John and work out
some plans that you can work with to finish your building sat-
isfactorly to all of us".
Mr. Harriman: "We had bettered up-grade our building code be-
fore we try to do to much about it".
Mr. Blomquist: "Who is going to interpret the building code
on stresses and strains"?
Mr. Harriman: "We cannot have ever contractor interpreting
our building codes".
Someone: "Have copy of the current plans and then put in the
specs as well".
-18-
Mr. Brubacher announced the Minnesota league of Muncipalities School will
be held on March 17 and 16th. The Mayor and Councilmen are invited and
we will make the necessary reservations if any of you desire us to do so.
Mr. Brubacher ask what action the Council wish to take on the letter from
Mr. and Mr.s Joel S. Andren concerning all-year-around- dog control?
Mr. Harrima.n moved and Mr. Pokorny, Jr, seconded the motion that
the letter be placed on file.
Mr. Harrima.n: "Has a letter of thanks gone out to the League of
Women Voters for their efforts for the open house of Feb. 9 been
written"? (checked and it went out 3-13-b2.)
Mr. Brubacher: "This is a bill that got in to late to get in with the
others, but Mr. Ha.wks has submitted his bill of $2,400. for his work on
the downtown plan. He would like permission to have it pa�d.
� Mr. Else moved the bill be allowed with the proviso that Mr. Hawks
submit a written report, or a basic report concerning his plan.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Pokorny, Jr, and carried.
Mr. Brubacher cailed the Councils attention to the fina.ncial report.

for payment: The motion carried.
1-A. Report by the City Engineer, John Strojan on fluoridation water
equipment.
Mr. Strojan: "I believe I went as far, last time,as giv�ng the
cost and chemicals that can be used for the flurodiation of our
water. m think I should go into the cost and safety of the
,�.
chemicals at this time".
Mayor Milbert: "43hat does our water test? .020 -.021 -.021
Storjan: "Yes, those are the last three tests�.
Mayor Milbert: "Are we still taking monthly test"?
Strojan: "Yes, we are".
Harriman: "Were you able to visit St. Louis Park and see if they
were using dry or liquid chemicals".
Mr. Strojan: "Yes, I was, and they have the solution feed installation.
Mr. Brecka. also visted the St. Louis Park installation with me:'
Mr. Harri�n: "How long has this plant been in operation"?
Mr. Strojan: "For three years".
Mr. Harrima.n: "Just what did you find out"?
Mr. Strojan: "They are having some trouble with the windows; a
fogingbf the glass on the windows. That seemed to be the one
(
thing. But they have a different situation ".
Mr. Else: "Is any body using solid chemicals"?
Mr. Strojan: "No one real close by. Wayzat�ta tried out this dry
feed that is pumped into the feed lines. That is�en you use one
well, but when you have many, many units, the advantage is with
the dry feed, one with each well. Some have seven wells."
Mr. Harrima.n: "Which do you �eel is the best"?
-1-
� - �
Mr. Strojan: "either one would do the job".
Mr. Else: "The liquid machine is more expensive"?
, Mr. Strojan: "No, the liquid ma.chine is less expensive, but
the chemical is more expensive."
Mr. Harrima.n: "I feel we should have a written report, say
by April 17th, and we can ask more questions when we have
the report".
Mr. Harriman: "Mr. Brecka. do you have anything you wish to say"?

Mr. Pokorny: "I thought that at one time the water was .5".
':i. Mr. Harrima.n moved and Mr. Else seconded the motion that the
Council have Mr. Strojan, the City Engineer, submit a written
report covering the subject by April 17�h, 1962.
1-B: The tab�lat,fonnof bids for a new fire engine.
Mr. Brubacher: "The tabulations are in front of you. Also a
letter from Chief Aspelin stating the Fire Departments recommendations.
When we bid this fire engine, we set the bids up with three
specific alternates. The Fire Chief, Mr. Aspelin reco�nends
that the Council purchase the six man Peter Pirsch truck. There
are two representatives here, one from General Safety and one from
Peter Pirsch".
Mr. Harriman: "Which truck are you recommending, Mr. Brubacher"?
Mr. Brubacher: "The Peter Pirsch six ma.n enclosed cab".
Mr. Pokorny: "Is it, the cab, heated"?
Mr. Harriman: "Are the fire departments getting away from the
open trucks"?
Mr. Else: "What did we have originally"?
Mr. Brubacher: "An open cab. Open all around".
Mr. Harrima.n: "Do we have some pictures we can look at"?
-2-
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, we do, and past pictures around to the
Councilmen explaining to them as he did so which truck was
which".
Mayor Milbert and Councilmen looked at the p�ctures and had
a some what general discussion.
Ma.yor Milbert: "Is there any difference in the amount of hose
each of them will carry"?
Mr. Aspelin: "No".
Mr. Brubacher: "We ask for a 2,000 foot hose bed on each truck.
This truck here, pointing to a picture, is the alterna.te ��2 bid.
The Fire dept. would like the truck where all can ride somewhat
as in a car. A driver and one ma.n in front and the rest in the
back".
Mr. Pokorny: "Can you get a stretcher into a cab job"?
Mr. Aspelin: "Yes".
Mr. Pokorny: "What happened to the canopy cab"?
Mr. Brubacher: "Well, the Chief and I went out to see a canopy
cab, it is just a plan cab with a canopy over it and with room
for three men to set down and the rest of the men still have to
hang on. We drove out to Willmar to see the canapy cab type. I
don't think that when you are buying a piece of equipment to last
for thirty years it is best to by this type of cab. Oite bad
accident and you could pay for the difference in cost."
Mr. Harrima.n: "What does the Fire dept. recommend"?
Mr. Aspelin: "The fire dept. recommend the four door-six ma.n
cab truck."
Mr. Harrima.n: "What are your reasons"?
Mr. Aspelin: "Some of the men don't feel the cab is as mobile as
the open ,�ruck, but most of us don't go along with that line of
-3-
tlio ngh t" .
Mr. Harriman: "I don't follow that".
Mr. Aspelin: "They don't think they can see well enough".
Mr. Brubacher: "They say, they can't spot a hydrant".
Mr. Pokorny: "Someone has to get out and look for a hydrant anyway".
Someone: "What abo,_ut seeing in a canopy cab"?
Mr. Aspelin: "Yes, I rode in one in Willma.r; but it was cold; I
mean really cold, in fact colder than the open trucks. The wind
whips around and seems to catch you more than in the open trucks.
Another point, that rear seat, when it is necessary we could bring
a man back in the truck. Then we wouldn't have to take the
rescue truck out each time."
"The time Wallick fell off the truck, we were just lucky he didn't
really get hurt".
Mr. Harrima.n: "How many units do we have now"?
Mr. Aspelin: "Four fire and one rescue truck".
Mr. Harrima.n: �'Who is going to ride in the cab job".
Mr. Aspelin: "First one here gets to ride in it, I guess".
Mr. Ha.rriman: ;'3!Where are you going to get the money to pay for
this new truck"?
Mr. Aspelin: "It wont be here for another year".
Mr. Pokorny to Mr. Brubacher: "Do you agree"?
Mr. Brubacher: "I feel the Fire Dept, has the necessary money.
I have looked at several trucks; but I feel it is a ma.tter of
which piece of machinen/is better".
Mr. Harriman: "Let�s hear from the factory representative".
Mr. B. J. McLeonnone: (General Safety) "I would like to bring out
one of our trucks and let the Fire Dept. ma.ke a day of going over
it. I understand the men all voted but not all of the men voted
-4-
for a Peter Pirsch truck. The only difference is in the pumps.
I understand the bronze pump has been cleaned up and on that
point I would have to go along with Peter Pirsch etc. I have
furnish�.4bid and will deliver etc.
Mr. R.y�aride����'L (for Peter.Pirsch): The pump is a large feature
of Peter Pirsch's. However that is only part of the story. We
have submitted our bid on the ong wheel base, sanders, four door
cab, a cab where a person can re�._lly get out of the rear seat,
with our rear door placed as it is we really feel we have a
very good arrangement. We have given you four doors, we have
given you a three section ladder. I would like to say also that
I bid all the electrical features, the waterless pump, electric
shift, all the lastest features, they are automa.tic, easier to
operate. However I have no opposition to bringing the selection
up before the Fire Dept. as a whole. I would hope that you would
hold your bids until we can do so. The Peter Pirsch have manufact-
ured fire apparatus for ove� fifty years, We are the only firm
that really ma.nufactures a cab unit, that is all in one unit.
In our bid we use or bid only National fire-under-writers
approved ��1 hose, leather upholstery. A few ye�:as ago I sold your
fire dept two ladder that were to replace two you had from another
firm that had gone sour. I hear that the Fire Dept. has voted to
buy Peter Pirsch, but let'sget to the pump. We bid you a 1500
G.P.M.; you ask for 1200 G.P.M., so we are giving you a larger
pvmp than you ask for in your bid. Our frame is the very best,
you just can't get better workmanship. I haven't given you the
wheel base; whatever the dept. wants we will build it."
Mayor Milbert: "Any question"?
-5-
�
Mr. Else:" We ask for 1250 G.P.M"?
Mr. Rylander: "Yes, but we are quoting you 1500 G.P.M".
Mr. Else: "What difference would that make"?
Mr. Rylander: "280 gallons per minute".
Mr. Harrima.n: "Would you care if we had other compaines here with
their trucks at the same time you have yours here"?
Mr. Rylander: "No, I wouldn't care, it makes no difference to me".
Mr. Rylander: "I would like to take a couple of the Councilmen
into Minneapolis and show them some of our trucks".
Mr. Harriman: "Are the�e any Generals that you checked, Mr. Aspelin"./
Mr. Aspelin: "No, we didn't check any".
Mr. Harrima.n: "Only the Peter PirscH'�.
Mr. Aspelin: "Yes, a 1958".
Mr. Pokorny: "What about:,�the problem of repairs. Will they be a
problems"?
Mr. Aspelin: " I Can't answer, but we don't have that much trouble.
The trucks in question both have the same motors. Peter Pirsch has
more horse power, e�4. a difference of only $326.00 and you get so
much more.Itts just like comparing a little foreign car and a
eadillac."
Mr. Else: "$326.00 is that the difference in money between the
two trucks"?
Mr. Aspelin: "Yes".
Mayor Milbert: "Bob would it matter if this was postponed a couple
weeks"?
Mr. Aspelin: "No, but it wont ma.ke any difference".
Mr. Pokorny, Jr. moved and Mr. Ha.rrima.n seconded the motion that
additiona.l study and personal investigation in the form of vi5zt-
tations to various Fire Stations where both the General Safety
-6-
� � ,
and Peter Pirsch equipment is in use by the Councilmen�. and also
that both pieces of equipment be brought out here for the members
of the Hopkins Fire Department to look over during the next �wo'�
weeks after which,time the awarding of the contract for the new
piece of fire equipment will be made. The motion carried.
2-B, The tabulation of bids for F1eet Insurance for 1962.
Mr. Else: "How does this or do these figures compare with last
years figures"?
Mr. Brubacher: "We are up about $500.00. Remember we had those
two bad police cars accidents".
Mr. Else: "Does this cover everyting"?
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, everythnng".
Mr. Harrima.n: "Your new car, speaking to Mr.:�'Brubacher"?
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, and even your own car if you are on City
business".
Mr. Pokorny: '�Should we move on it or shall we hear from Mr.
Bill Campbell of Hardware Mutual"?
Mr. Campbell: (Hardware Mutual Casualty Co.) "I would like to
show the Council a few facts b�tween the two compaines. I don't
mean to through rocks at another company but the Hopkins Agency
and our compaines are quite different. Great Northern Insurance
is carried in only 12 states, we are in all 50 states. You
could just possible be driving to one place or another on City
business and find yourselves in a state not covered by Great
Northern. This would mean that claims�: etc. would be slow in
being taken care of. Mr. Campbell quoted figures he had show-
ing that Great Northern had paid out 101'/o against Hardware
Mutuals' figure of 91'/0. But Mr. Campbell said he had had only
two years of figures to bid with, as a rule that is not a long
-7-
er,:,�^ enough period of time to get all the back ground needed to really
present a good bid rates wise etc.".
Mr. Else.i"Who had our insurance last year"?
Mr. Brubacher: "Hopkins Insurance or Great Northern".
Mr. Pokorny: "Were they sat�sfactory"?
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, as far as we were concerned".
Mr. Campbell: "This is the year we have bid. We had only two
years figures to go by. Perhaps in the future years when we have
more years to go by we will be able to or give you better rates."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr. moved and Mr. Harrima.n seconded the motion that
we accept the City Manager's recommendation and award the contract
of the Fleet Insurance for the City of Hopkins to the Hopkins
Insurance Agency (Great Northern Insdrance Co.). The motion carried.
1-C. Communication from Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company regarding
agreement for sewer and watermain installation on llth Avenue South under
the railroad tracks.
Mr. Stojan: "This is the form they are asking us to sign and
return. It is a license to put the sewer and watermain under
the railroad tracks:�.
Mr. Pokorny: "Is this the standard type"?
there is
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, but/one clause of the contract that we
are going to ink out. The one about the 30 days;-we did the same
thing before.�
Mr. Harriman: "Ask Mr. Vesely to ok it".
Mr. Brubacher: "��s, we will".
Mr. Harrima.n: "What do the Constulting Engineers have to say"?
Mr. Burbacher: "Orr-Schleen"? A nod of yes, "Yes, they say
��8 should be cut".
Mr. Strojan: "The Chicago & Milwaukee hage the same terms".

Mr. Else moved and Mr. Pokorny, Jr. seconded the motion that

ment for the sewer and watermain installation on llth Avenue

Mr. Harrima.n: "Since we did this at 5th Street, if the Highway

Mr. Strojan: "Then we would close 12th for left-hand turns".
Mr. Bruba�her: "If the State Highway Dept. is agreeable the City
would have to pay the cost of the construction".

City codes and to report to the Council, They are technical people,
and also I might add, we must have such a committee if we go into a
Federal program."
Mr. Else: "What abouth that other Committee we established and
it heger got off the ground?"
Ma.yor Milbert: "This Co�nittee would be for the revision o.f our
building codes only."
-11-
Mr. Brubacher: "These will be mostly technical people."
Mr. Else: "What is are plans; to re-write or except some stand-
ard plans or what?"
Mr. Brubacher: "To except some standard�;plan and then re-write
them."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr. "This is the same thing that cities are always
doing. They have some one always ma.king new findings and add-
ing them to their codes."

!
on these three lots."

�'
proposed building, the �it is in two zones".
Mr. Else: "This is a committment for a building permit?"
Mr. Strojan: "It is a question of set back because of the two
different zones."
Mr. Harriman: "If we vote on this, we are not replacing
building plans or spec?"
Mayor Milbert: "We will not be issuing a permit if we vote on
this question?"
Mr. Blomquist: "No, they have to get a survey, before we can
know what we have to do."
Mr. Brubacher: "There is about 15 feet of this property in the
Industrial zone."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr: "What do we have to do?"
Mayor Milbert: "If we do vote there will be no permit issued
until they go to the Zoning and Planning Commission."
Mr. Else: "This is not going to be a car wahh ?"

usual drainage but nothing more than that."

Avenue lift station and they can't have an unusual amount of
run off."

Ma.yor Milbert: "What about something for Cliff for the time when
he took over for Dick while Dick was out last Summer. For the time
he spent as A�cting City Ma.nager? Will $200.00 be all right."
Everyone seemed to be in agreement.
Mr. Brubacher: "It will have to come out of the part-time help
fund. That fu�d is getting really worked.over because you will
remember we took part of it when we hired Mr. Blomquist."
Mr. Else moved and Mr. Pokorny Jr. seconded the motion that
Mr..C. R. Peterson be paid the sum of $200.00 in addition to his
regular salary for the time he was Acting City Manager last

Mayor Milbert: "I would like to see that fellow build._ It is
a similar case to the one on 9th Street South."
-14-
✓ �� M
Mr. Pokorny: "His�, Mr. Keesling�s , building a home here would
be nothing but an'�improvment in the area."
Ma.yor Milbert: "It's the same action as the 9th St. South case."
Mr. Pokorny: "I to think the fellow should be allowed to build.
We drove around there and looked at the place and it would be
nothing but an improvement to let him build."
Mr. Harrima.n: "We�ask Mr. Vesely's opinion on �he ma.tter and now
I think we should �take it. If Mr. Vesely thinks it should go to
the Zoning and Planning Commission again I feel that is what we
should do."
Mr. Pokorny: "Mx. Vesely thinks it should go to the Zoning and
Planning Commission and have a hearing."
Mr. Strojan: "I believe he is referring to that portion of the
Zoning @rdiii�.nce that refers::to "dwellings on sma.11 lots."
Mr. Harrima.n: "We don't hear applications on hardship cases.
It should go to the Zoning and Planning Co�nission for a public
hearing."
Mayor Milbert: "All right we will refer the rep�rt before the
Zoning and Planning and order a public hearing."

by the Uniform Building Code."
Mr. Vesely: "We had to replace an Ordinance with another Ordinance:: We replaced

I would propose.this be extended to that part on Monroe and the East-West road.

frontage would be on Monroe and on the new street; or $7.26 per foot. �
-2-
I
Ma.n from Monroe Avenue: "We are interested in only the sewer".
Mr. Strojan: The water would have to be installed at the same point at a cost of
$5,187.00 or $6.83 a front fobtage".
Ma.n from Monroe.Avenue:.:"It would be $14.00 per front footage for both sewer and water?"
Mr. Strojan: "Yes, about that"
Man from Monroe Avenue: "That's a lot, I just put in a tank and paid $1,500.00 for
it." "Can it just go as far as my place, I am interested in the water only?"

the development in the future."
Man from Monrae Avenue: "It would still have to service the home on the South and

Mr. Po�orny: "What portion is paid by signers?"
Mr. Brubacher: " That is the thing that ma.kes it bad, there is only one side of
the street to be assessed; if they develope the balance into four lots, then go
up the back yards and assess both sides it would be a help. Normally we would go
up Jackson and assess accordingly."
Mr. Pokorny: "Normally $1,500.00 isn't to bad to get sewer and water."
Nlayor Milbert: " What do you want us to do?"
Mr. Brubacker : We want a public hearing."
Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Pokorny, Jr. seconded the motion ac�cept the Engineers report

a petition." "The streets are Second.St. North from West Park Road to 21st �izenue
and 21st. Avenue North from Second Street to Highway ��7." The report is established
on the basis of concrete curb and gutter or 1�tGuminous curb and surfacing. We are
suggesting the bfituminous over the peitioned oil because oil is limitedand as such
-3-
it doesn't stay long. The maintinance is difficult, and it is hard to control the
raina.ge. The�e is some f�eling about the extention of the Water ma.ins, and that will
come some day."
Mr. Brubacher: "This is because of oil when we have the other."
Mr. Hanley: "You have both Sewer and Water?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Only sewer and we don't have that".
Mr. Brubacher: " I said my piece on bituminous curbs last meeting".
Mr..Ha.nley; "Our City Ma.nagers lives on that street, let see that he gets the
best, I moved that concret curbs and bituminous surfacing be put in. I move
we except the Engineers report and ord�� a hearing.1° The motion was seconded
by Mr. Pokorny, and carried.
Ma.yor Milbert: 2-B. Tabulation of bid for sewer cleaning.
Mr. Brubacher: i�,so�ae t��eiu�dnon�ytoi��eHid I recommend this item be tabled."
Mr. Hanley: "I moverwe accept the City Ma.na.gers suggestion and table the bid."
Mr. Pokorny , Jr. seoonded the motion. The motion carried.
Mayor Milbert: 3-B. "Tabulation of bid for Booster Pumps."
Mr. Brubacher: I recommend we purchase the one large centrifugal booster pump, for
$1,312.00. This pump will fit three of our four wellssystems. If we need more
water than can be pumped from the three systems we can by-pass the a:�one
and be all right."
s
Mr. Harrima.n: "Is this pump to be charged to the Water Department�".
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, it is to be charged to the water department."
Mr. Harriman: " Is it in the budget?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr, moved we accept the City Ma.nager recommendation a buy the one large
pump at $1,312.00. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hanley and carried.
Mayor Milbert: "4-B. Tabulation of bid for furnishing and applying traffic paints."
Mr. Brubacher: We sent specs to several people but �e received only one bid.
Mayor Milbert: " The same as last year?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes."
Mr. Harrima.n: "Are we going to do the striping as last year?"
Mr. Brubacher: "We are going to do more center lines and less curbs. Basically
the same amount of money involed."
Mr. Harriman: "The same on the parking lots?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Ye�, the same on all the parking lots but not before the seal coat
is applied then we will use the seal stripe paints."
Mr. Harriman: "What do we do when we have one bid°?1e
Mayor Milbert: "Approve it if is reco�nended."
Mr. Harriman moved and Mr. Else seconded the motion that on the recommendation of
-4-
of Mr. Brubacher, the City Ma.nager, we award the bid for furnishing and applying traffic
paints to Striping Service Company. The motion carried.
Mayor Milbert: "5-B" Tabulation of bids on bituminous surfacing materials."
Mr. Strojan: "Bla�k Top Service and J. V. Gleason have split bids and have low bids
in different materials. This year we would end up with three if we took the low
bads of each as you can see, but that is not to good. It is hard to control the work.
Git��p�rparesthe base and contractor puts on the prime coat; the Surface contractor
come in and puts on the surfacing. It would be an advantage to have just one
contractor.':
Mr. Hanley: "Would there be much saving?"
Mr. Strojan: "1� on the oil, a difference of $50.00. But where we will save is
on the seal coat."
Mayor Milbert: "What do you recommend?"
Mr. STrojan: "The ma.jor item is $7.00 a ton and that was the bid of Black Top Service.
If we took J. V. Gleason it would be $1.00 more as you see."
Mr. Harrima.n: "What do you reco�nend, Black Top Service throughout?"
Mr. Strojan: "I recommend J. V. Gleason for the first two items.�lyi�l/�Xal�1E/�"��/���E�6���
For the next two items, mix for patching and use for which the City does the work."
Mr. Brubacher: "J. V. Gleason for 1& 2 and Blcak Top Service for 3 through 10."
Mr. Hanley: "That ma.kes sense. Give up $50.00 and save were it really counts."
Harriman: "Is that labor or ma.terial?"
Mayor Milbert: " Then it's Gleason for 1& 2.and Blcak Top Service for 3 through 10."
Mr. Strojan: "Except for 8& 9,wiiere we received no bids. We had hoped to use
items 7, 8& 9 as seal coat for a test; to check those problems of weather and etc."
Hr. Pokorny: "What does the Engineer say?"
Mr. Strojan: "All of the items are in co�non use. We could oil in small amounts
and see which is better."
Mr. Hanley: "Why don't you do that?"
Mr. Strojan: "Road tars and emulsion is about 20 or 21�."
Mr. Hanley: " Try a sma.11 amount, take a few blocks here and there and try it."
Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Pokorny seconded the motion that the J. V. Gleason firm
be awarded the bid for items 1& 2 and the Black Top Service be awarded items 3,4,5,
7 and 10. The motion carried.
Mayor Milbert: "1-C. Hearing at 7:30 in the City Council Chambers "FOR THE IMPROVEMENT
OF THAT PART OR BETWEEN 7TH AND 8TH AVENUES FROM MINNETONKA MILLS ROAD TO A POINT
APPROXIMATELY 708 FEET NORTH" by the construction of a street opening thereon. The
estima.ted cost to be $9,233.00. Continued from the Ma.y 15, 1962 Council meeting."
Mayor Milbert: " Is there anyone here from the Church, Yes, Mr. Johnson".
Mr. Brubacher: It was agreed the church would pay the total cost and dedicate the
2 of the road. The school would dedicate the other 2."
-5-
Mr. Johnson: "About the payments, what is the period of years we would have to
pay.for this road?"
Mr. Strojan: "You have ten years".
Mr. Johnson: "The figure � have heard was about $9,000.00."
Mr. Strojan: "That is for black top, curb and all of it."
Mr. Johnson: " Is the curb necessary?"
Mr. Strojan: "Yes, we try to have it; it would ma.ke a difference of about $3,000."
Mr. Hanley: "There is a difference of between $2.00 and $1.15, and the concrete
curb �ould be better."
Mr. Vesely: "Is this a public road?"
Mr. Johnson: "Yes, but it will be used by only our own church unless a service road
goes in on.the South side of Highway 7 then there might be some public travel."
Mayor Milbert: "The Engineer does reco�nend curb."
Mr. Hanley: "You are talking about a$1,500.00 savings."
Mr. Pokorny, ,�r.: "The church is a pretty permanent thing."
Mr. Johnson: "Well, we want the road, but we.are at a place were we are counting
pennies."
Mr. Johnson: "The school board and church will have to deed the necessary property
to the city. We will get the papers from the school board and the church."
Mayor Milbert: "Then we need a resolution ordering construction of the road."
Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Pokorny, Jr, seconded the motion that the resolution be
drawn to construct the road or street opening and road. The motion carried.
Mr. Harrima.n: "The school is to give Z of the right-of-way/"
Ma.yor Milbert: "We originally required 30 feet from the school."
Mr. Vesely: "Will the City have the road?"
Mr. Vesely: "First acquire the road before you can have the hearing."
Mr. Harriman: " Get the easement from the Church and School board and then go ahead."
Mr. Vesel�: "Table it until or subject to getting those deeds."
The motion made by Mr. Hanley was rescinded by him, Mr. Pokorny, Jr, also rescinded
his second.
The hearing will be continued until the June 19th meeting and at that time the
necessary papers from the school and church will have to be in the hands of the
City Clerk and then we will publish for a public road.
Mr. Harrima.n: "Get the d�9.ds first."
Mr. Johnson: " The church feel they will pay for the road and it ma.intenance�"
Mr. Strojan: "Snow plowing is not an assessable item; patching is not an assessable
item but all ma.jor repairs will hage to be paid for by the church."
Mr. Vesely: "If the water mains go in they will have to be paid for."
Mr. Johnson: "They went up 7thth Avenue and are in."

Mr. Hammerlund: "When can the Ordina.nce be change?"
Ma.yor Milbert: ."If the Council see"fit to do so."
Mr. Hammerlund: "What bases was yit set up?" �
Ma.yor Milbert: "We felt that 10'license:were plenty for the population of Hopkins.
I believe it is plentyl.'."'
Mr. Hammerlund: "The ordina.nce is still not on the bases of the State only on the
bases of the City of Hopkins."
Ma.yor Milbert: "On City Council action."
Mayor Milbert: " The Council feels that_it is just not possible to add more licenses.
We haee just issued the ninth and that is not opened as yet, the lOth is granted
to the 17th Avenue store on its compd:etion of the building, if they do not finish
their buildings then we would have one."
Mr. Hammerlund: "What is the feeling on having more licenses?"
Mr. Hanley: "My feeling is that we ha�#e to many before we gave the last one out."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr.: "That's right."
Mr. Hanley: " The Ordinance was just set up."
Mr. Ha�nerlund: "What does this Ordinance state. We have a sheet metal business,
we have a n�ew building, we have a parking area:."
Ma.yor Milbert: "We felt when we had this ordinance drawn that 10 license were enough."
Mr. Harriman: "Thank you Mr. Milbert."
Mr. Ha�nerlund: "We will tr�.y again."
Mr. Hanley: "Would you like to have �our application denied?"
Mr. Hanley: " Move the application for an Off-Sale Intoxicating Liquor license
applied for by Mr. Albert W. Ha�nerlund Sr. and to be located at 607 - 2nd Street
South be denied." The motion was seconded by Mr. Else and earried.
Mayor Milbert: "2-D. The Zoning and Planning Co�nission recommend approval of the
request to use an existing dwelling in a Single-Residence district as a two family
dwelling and for the issua.nce of a special use permit thereof, the dwelling sitie is
located at 105 Minne�onka. Mills Road; the request made by Mr. Dean Noland."
Mr. Keefe: Representing Mr. Noland. This request was taken before the Zoning and
Planning commission and they reco�nended approval. It is a basement apartment.
Mr. Noland was not aware he was in violation when he built the apartment. There is
-7-
no opposition from the neighborhood. The Building inspector has been up to see the
apartment and say� that it is built well."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr.: "� don't se how we can, I feel a good many people don't know about
the ordinance, but that is not our fault."
Mr. Else: "There was a hearing in the Zoning and Planning Co�nission and no one
said anything."
Mr. Keefe: "Mr. Noland has the necessary parking, parking would not be a problem
as it taken care of off the street. The dwelling next door has an apartment."
Mr. Pokorny; "It is cont�ary to our policy or the policy we have gone by."
�. Ha.nley: "Did he know that he shouldn't do the building?"
Mr. &eefe: "The realtor advised his he could do the work and rent the apartment."
Mr. Pokorny: "I can't see this thing, I thin� it should be denied."
Mr. Hanley: "Did he do this work without a permit?" -
Mayor Milbert: "I think that he came in and saR someone."
Mr. Pokorny: "How did he get the permit?"
Mr. Hanley: "Compounds the differences. First he shouldn't get the permit and
then he shouldn`t rent the apartment."
Mr. �eefe: "I feel you should agree to the findings of the Zoning and.Planning Commission
Mr. �esely: "On what bases?�
Mr. Brubacher: "The permit was given to remodel the dwelling, or the basement, but
refused on the occupancy part."
Mr. Vesely: "What about the special use permit?"
Mr. Brubacher: "For hardship."
Mr. Vesely: "No, it is not a hardship case."
Mr. Keefe: "Through his ignorance Mr. Noland has put himself in this position. It
is a hardship if he is unable to use the apartment. This is a case where the exception
of the rule so really apply. Rules are all ma.de to have exceptions."
Mr. Hanley: " Did'nt he think he had to go down add get a permit?"
Mr. Pokorny: "There is a big sign saying you have to have a building permit."
Mayor Milbert: "He has four girls living in the apartment."
Mr. Keefe: "He is faced with a bad situa.tion. The Realtor told him that he could
do over the basement and have an extra apartment and he supposed the man knew what
could be done in that area."
Mr. Else:" It is not a regular street."
Mayor Milbert: "The land on the other side is all multiple, or on the East side;
and it is park on the other side."
Ma.yor Milbert: "He really is coming here now to try to make the remodeling and the
apartment legal."
Mr. Vesely: "The occupancy of a basement apartment in not legal any where."

Auditors Sub-division ��239, located in the Industrial Zone. The above application
ma.de by Egekvist Bakeries."
Mayor Milbert: "Is there anyone here to speak on this application."
Mr. Egekvist and Mr. Ra.ugland came forward with their building plans.
Mayor Milbert: "Have you a ma.p."
Mr. Brubacher: "Clint do you have the file on it?"
Mr. Brubacher: "You have the drawing?"
Mr. Pokorny, Jr: " I have to take a look at this."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Do you have the Excelsior and Monk Avenue sides set back far enough
if the new County Road ��3 goes in here?"
Mr. Egekvist: "If the highway does go through, this would be depress, pointing at
his plans, and we would have to set our building back a ways. We should have a
road on Monk Avenue with our present plans, but the changing of Cty road �k3 would
ma.ke it necessary for us to have a new road also."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr.: "Didn't National Tea have some such road planned for this?"
Mr. Egekvist: "Yes, it will be hard to work out the elevation point. I would like
to know about the highway, as it does affect our lay out of the building. I would
rather it didn't go through."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr.: "I don't see how we can do anything about the road."
Ma.yor Milbert: "We don't know for sure about the road. It has been on again and
of� again for some time now, but as long as you protect yourselves."
Mr. Pukorny,Jr: "It's a beautiful thing."
Mr. Hanley: "There isn't anyone here who can tell you for sure about the rc�oad, we
just can't say what will happen here;'pointing to ma.p; We tired to, but neither
the County or State could tell us. If we could assure you we would."
Mr. E��kvist: "The only reason we brought the road problem up, we just wanted to
know how you gentlemen feel about it."
Mr. Else: "I can't see it at all, I don't see the road plan or putting County Road
�k3 in there."
Mr. Hanley: "Thea�bad:;thi'sowayudbeat�`t�iseemaa so�lu�ion of the problem. It ties off
the road and just doesn't ma.ke sence."
Mr. Edgkvist: "What if we put the building on Excelsior Blvd?"
�
Ma.yor Milbert: '�I am afraid it would �ea-y�.you building."
Mr. Hanley: "Yes, the County and State would just come in and delay you."
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, we would have to go to the County and State. It would just
olelay you. They would say,"Hopkins are you ready to come along in for the bridge,
if you are ready, we are.""
Mayor Milbert: "It wou18 still set you back. It would be several months before
you could go throngh with your b�ilding plans."
Mr. Ha.nley: " I would guess it went go there."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Ma.y we have a recommendation to allow a building in this location?"
Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Harriman seconded the motion to approvee the application for
the proposed building and for the issua.nce of special use permts. The motion carried.

Auditor's Sub-Division ��239, or 416 Murphy Avenue. The application made by
Mr. LeRoy Herma.n."
May Milbert: " Is Mr. Herman here?"
Mr. Herman was in the room and came forward with Mr. Blomquist.
Mr. Blomquist: "The garage set here, pointing to lot plan, the house is sma.11,
there is need for the extra room, if he observes the variance of 10' it is not
worth the building of the extra room. The house next door is set back as you can
see. The public hearing was held at the last Zoning and Planning Co�rnnission
meeting and no one showed up."
Mr. Harrima.n moved and Mr. Hanley seconded the motion that the building permit be
written subject to Mr. Herman presenting wri���n consent from the effectived
neighbor. The motion carried.
Mayor Milbert: "5-D The Zoning and Planning Gommission recommend approual of an

3 feet."
Mayor Milbert: " Is anyone here, Mr. Tweed you ma.y present your side."
Mr. Brubacher: "This will have to go.through a special use hearing."
The councilmen look at Mr.. �aeeds plan.
Mr. Tweeti: "I felt around and found there was objection to front parking. I did
go overboard on the building. I wanted it forward as far as possible to give better
parking in the back."
Mr. Blomquist: "I loused this.thing up to begin with. Right from the start, it was
one of the things in here when I was still new. I thought I had given it to Mr. Hawks
but found out I hadn't. But Jim can help him now and give him an opinion about the
set backs on Excelsior Avenue."
Mr. Milbert: "To ten feet?"
Mr. Blomquist: "You granted Mr. Speaker ten fe�t."
Mr. Blomquist: "If he is stuck with ten:feet he will redesign the building."
Mr. Tweed: "What about a narrow L shaped building?"
Mayor Milbert: "I would rather leave•�it to Mr. Hawks."
Ma.yor Milbert: "The set back will be a minium of ten feet:"
Mr. �aeed: "That would be twenty-five feet.from the curb?"
Mayor Milbert: "Dont count the side..walk. Just your own property."

Mayor Milbert:
Mr. Pokorny: "Let's hear from Mr. Dalhberg as long as he is here."
- Mr. Dalhberg: "This highway thing, do you think there is anything to the fact
that St. Louis Park says the road is set?" The eounty and State support our proposal.
It really can't be done. We need a planner or an expert.on highways who can be
sure of what is going to be done. St. Louis Park and Minnetonka say they know
where the road is going. We should have some one who can say what should be done
they
and what/will come up . Get someone that will come up with somthing."
Mr. Hanley: "Have Hawks look at this."
Mayor Milbert: "Have you had anything on this, Dick?"
Mr. Brubacher: "We have four proposals from nothing to $20,000.00.

Ma.yor Milbert: "Mr. Heller." Mr. Heller came forward.
Mr. Brubacher: "This area really can be helped only by the installation of a storm
sewer,similar to the case we had in Interlocken Park. The Storm sewer could be
best put in now as the streets are all in need of resurfacing at this time."
Mr. Brubacher: "We have pumped Mr. Heller's w�ter eight or ten times.
Mr. Hanley: "Is Mr. Heller willing to pay for the resurfacing of the street?
Mr. Heller: "Would be in the form of an assessment?"
Mr. Hanley: "There would be a hearing on it ancl then�it would be in a form of an
assessment."
Mr. Brubacher: "The Councils orders a hearing on the resurfacing of the road and
the construction of the storm sewer, be put in, that would take care of the whole
area."
iir. Heller:
Mr. Brubacher: "I suggest we order the hearing and wait."
Mayor Milbert: " May I have a motion ordering a hearing?"
Mr. Harrima.n. "Should we vote on putting in a storm sewer?"
Mr. Brubacher: "The condition is they get the storm sewer if they put in the road."
Mr. Harrima.n. "Does the storm sewer go down the street or cut across �land?"
Mayor Milbert: "We do both at the same time, the storm sewer would go down the street."
Mr. Vesely: "You should ask for a petition."
Mr. Brubacher: "The Council can order a hearing."
Mr. Hanley: "Does the entire area need re-surfacing?"
Mr. Heller: "You mean all the streets in Knollwood?"

out the streets that we have objections on. We would like to do them all while
they are being done."

the Streets of the Knollwaod Area be made. The motion carried.
Mr. Witma.n: A picture was passed around showing the condition of the water and
w�at the land looked Iike after the water had drained off.
Mr. Harriman: "Is this going to be a continuing condition?"
Mr. Hanley: When they built up the Street railroad righ-of-way was dane, the
former drainage was taken away. No provision has been made to provide for the
water that now drains from the right-of-way itself."
Mr. Hanley: There is no .doubt the situa.tion should be corrected."
Mr. Hanley: "Dick you talked about puting in a run off, were would that go to?"
Mr. Brubacher: "It would go to a storm sewer at Holly, we would extend from the
man hole to Holly; John shows ma.p as to the lay of the terrain to Interlocken Road."
Mr. Witmer: "The water flows ea.st.from the Park."
Mr. Hanley: "$850.00 would do the work?"
Ma.yor Milbert: "The City crews will do the work, so we wouldn't have to go out for
a bid." "Anyother problems?"
Mr. Strojan: "Mrs. Foley."
Mr. Brubacher: "We did not cause the water that is bothering Mrs. Foley. She is
getting County road water."

R. L. Brubacher, relative to a Resolution passed by the.Hopkins Library Board."

that much money with men that will only want us to join the County system.
Mayor Milbert: "We are looking for a idea for a new building. This information will
-13-
be helpful to the Councilmen. I think we should have someone on the other side
do the survey."
Mr. Hanley: "Do you really think Mary, that either of these two men would come
here and ma.ke a check if they were.not going to give a fair evaluation?"
Mr. Pokorny, Jr.: "I think he would be coming in to find out just what we have
in our Library."
Mr. Else: "You can't find anyone who doesn't work for the County. They will give
both sides of the situation."
Mr. Else: "We don't have any men who are not County men. We will just use their
report for both sides of the pi�ture."
Mr. Hanley: "We want the survey mostly for the physical side of the picture."
Mayor NilTiert: "Number six along is reason enough to have the survey."
Mr. Hanley: "What if he does come in with a report recommending we join the County
Libaray, the Council has the say as to.weither we don't want to join them or not."
Mayor Milbert: "We can alway turn them down."
Mr. Peterson: "I think the price is w¢�ong."
Mr. Hanley: "If we didn't pay about the price we wouldn't get much of a survey."
A gentlemen: "Outside of the lack.of room in the present Library, my family and I
have enjoyed a very full use of the present library. We have always found what we
wanted and if they didn't have it they ordered it for us."
Mr. Hanley: "We don't think there is anything wrong or even imply�that."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr.: This is just to get information to improve the physical side."
A Gentlemen: "There would not be a conversion to the County System without ordering
a hearing?"
Ma.yor Milbert: "We are just hiring people to show us what we want in the way of
a building etc, then we will go on from there."
A Gentlmen: "It is hard to see what we are lacking." The Hennepin County has only
10,000 books in their Libaries while we have 27,000.
\ Mayor Milbert: "That is not the question."
Mr. Else: "You had bettered get your figures right."
Mayor Milbert: "Lets wait for the report and then talk."
Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Else second the motion that based on the recommendation of
the Library board that the Board be authorized to hire Mr. Robert H. Rohlf and
Mr. Frederick Wezeman to perform a complete library survey to include all of the

.STATE! HIGHWAY N0. 7
Mr. Brubacher: "(As they look at the survey) I talked to Mr. Hagen and he said that
in order to get a mortgagea..ft is necessary to show an access other than the public
street. The survey has to Ue done to get fina.ncing. They can get better rental
from the office space; as such they need the parcel survey in case they split it
� up and then D. and F. will be street. G. the Highway will take; Pure Oil owns the
North section."
Mr. Hanley: "Haven't they made a deal with Pure Oil?"
Mr. Brubacher: "They have an option on the Gerold property for parking."
Mr. Hanley: "They ma.y need to get it if Pure Oil close them off."
Mr. Brubacher:- "They bought up the option because of the Highway."
Mr. Hanley: "Any problems Dick."
Mr. Brubacher: "It could possibly go tax delinquent."
Mr. Hanley: "They could walk away from it."
Mr. Brubacher: "It has a private.access.�'
Mr. Else: "We could put some posts in that would fix them."
Mr. Brubacher: "What about the liquor license?"
Mr. Else: "Give it to them, and we can alway take it away again at the first of the
�ea.r ."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr: "Once they get a license it is hard to take it away."
Mr. Hanley: "No, it isn`t, the first of the year we could take it away."
Mayor Milbert: "(looking at pictures Mr. Blomquist past around) They are pouring
now, look at the water:"
Mr. Blomquist: "If we only had the money they have used pumping water."
Mr. Brabacher: "There is nothing we can do."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr, moved and Mr. Hanley second�ed the motion to accept the land survey.
The motion carried.
Mayor Milbert: "19-D. A request by Mr. Dill and Mr. Nelson to appear before the
Council to discuss proposed addition to existing building at 601 -12th avenue South."
Mr. Strojan: "A Northerly building, proposed addition on the existing building
at 601 - 12th Avenue South. The addition on the �ront would improve the building."
Mr. Nelson: "I have been setting on this in the file for a long time." "The addition
is not out of line as far a building procedure or code goes, it doesn't talce any
special hearing."
Mayor Milbert: "Mr. Hawks will be in in the morning. John have Mr. Hawks look at it."
Mr. Brubacher: "You will still have to go through the regular procedure."
Mr. Hanley: "Have you any objection to it?"
Mr. Brubacher: "This is another case again when the building is in the Industrail
Zone. Don`t see why they have to go through a public hearing before thy can build.
It delays everything for from one month to six weeks."
-15-
Mr. Hanley: "Time is important when you want to build_but a delay for one month
six weeks really isn`t to bad."
Mayor Milbert: "We will give permission on a tentative approval."
Mr. Hanley: "We se no objecto to the addition so you can go ahead and start and
then get togather with the men."
No motion was made.
Mayor Milbert: " 17-D. A request by Northwestern Bell Telephone Company to make a
digup for buried cable repair at the Southwest corner of Ashley Road and Goodrich.
18-D. A request by Northwestern Bell Telephone Company to install buried cable
in proposed Street between County Road �k73 and Robinwood Lane to serve the develop-
ment West of Elmo Park."
Mr. Brubacher: "The telephone company have several complaints daily. The only way
they can correct the situation is to dig up the tile."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr.: "They have a net work of tile, can they go around the block?"
Mr. Hanley: "A 3'X3'X3' hole isn't much".
Mr. Brubacher: "They have to seal coat the opening, they can cover it up, arid no one
will ever see it."
Mr. Hanley: "It is just one of those things, as soon as they see the phone company
start in diging, the calls will start coming in."
Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Pokorny;Jr seconded the motion that North�eatern Telephone
Company we given the premission to ma.ke a digup for buried cable repair at the
Southwest corner of Ashley Road�and Goodrich and to install buried cable in �he
proposed street between County Road ��73 and Robinwood Lane. The motion carried.
Mayor Milbert: "We have requests from the Hopkins Lodge No. 17 I.O.O.F, and from

Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Harrima.n.seconded the motion that the requests be granted.
The motion carried.
Mr. Brubacker: "The depot agent of the Great Northern Railroad Company saw Mr.
Peterson to see if we were interested in purclhasing their spur track property;"
"It would give us all the access on County Road �k3.
Mr. Harriman: :`Where does this action come from, Minneapolis or Chicago?"
Mr. Harriman: "We wou.ld take the whole spur line."
Mr. Brubacher: "I will.check with the agent and see what we can do."
Mr. Ha.nley: "It would be.a good deal if we could ma.nage all of it."
Mr. Brubacher: "That brings up this Speaker item." Now, McGannon wants to build on
to his store and live in part of it."
Mayor Milbert:�"It :would` be .a new building�"
Mr. Blomquist: "The ordina.nce is specific, you can't have.a residence and a business
on the same piece of property.
-16-
Ma.yor Milbert: "They
Mr. Blomquist: "They would be living on the side part of the building."
Mayor Milbert: "He would add on to the building for a residence7" "
Mr. Brubacher: "If it is the Council's wishes then that is fine."
Mr. Blomquist: "It goes back to the same thing as the one you gave back to Joe to
see if you can do it." "We are using the residencial yard space.
Mr. Ha.nley: "It's the old stor�;�, building a building and then sell his other
property."
Mayor Milbert: "There would be no variances at all, taking out the old building
and replacing it with a new one."
Mr. Else: "Ask Joe if what we did was legal."
Mayor Milbert: "He told us to leave the three year clause off."
Mr. Else: "Tell Mr. Speaker he will have to use his building as a co�nercial building
and that is all there is too it."
Mr. Brubacher: "I am afraid the same thing might happen on the whole length of
the block. Apartments in the second stories of the buildings."
Mayor Milbert: "I don't see any�hing wrong with it."
Mayor Milbert: "He wants to build and no variances are out of line."
Mr. Blomquist: "We are not talking about the building, it is the use that is out of
line and what we are talking about."
Mr. Brubacher: "What if Mr. Howard Nickodym was to do the same thing?"
Mayor Milbert: "If he is staying in the same space, just taking an old building out
and putting in a new fire proof building I cant see it."
Mr. Hanley: They are using the same space twice."
Ma.yor Milbert: "What zone are we talk�ngvahout?"
Mr. Blomquist: "Commercial."
Mr. Ha.nley: "I think we are wrong."
Mayor Milbert: "I am trying to find a way."
Mayor Milbert: "Lets change the ordina.nce."
Mr. Else: "Don't they have a business ordinance, an.area ordina.nce?"
Brubacher: "Yes, but not under this zone."
Brubacher:_"I suppose it is necessary to come out."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr.: "It is necessary that we let them ---
has a better case than Speaker."
"I think Mac G�nnon
Ma.yor Milbert: "I can see nothing but advancement in this sort of thing;"
Mr. Brubacher: "What do we do then?"
Mr. Blomquist: "I have only one argument, only that the building ordina.nce be
enforced."
Mr..Brubacher: "The apartments can be use as long as they were in use before the
-17-
ordinance was passed."
Mr. Harriman: "Refer the Speaker case and the McGannon case to Mr. Vesely for his
opinion." The motion was carried. (I did not get who seconded the motion.)
Mr. Carr of 200 Homedale Road wishes to see about getting a permit to build a garage.
Mr. Brubacher: "This is one we think we can recommend. The street is Goodrich and
it is 80' wide.
Mr. Hanley: "Mr. Carr is asking for a variance of 12' from the center of the street.
30' is the width of the regular street. He is going to talk to Jim."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr.: "Tell him to talk to Jim."
Mr. Brubacher: "I want to consider the u�grading of the railroad bridge North of
the Creek. Minnetonka. turned it down. Since then it has been revised and has
or is being presented at this time."
Mr. Harfiman: "You mean the bridge between?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, they now want $22,950 from Minnetonka. and $21,000 from us."
?ir. Hanley: "What brings about the reduction?" "Wasn't it around $42,000.00?"
Mr. Brubacher: "They took out some storm sewer and the County took up some of �he
work themselves."
Mr. Strojan: "They are going to widen the road to the Cedar Lake Road from Minnetonka.
Mills road."
Mr. Pokorny,Jr,: "Why do we have to pony up for that?"
Mayor Milbert: "We own half of the bridge, Minnetonka. the otherehalf."
Mr. Brubacher: "When we took Bell Grove in the South half of the bridge."
Mr. Hanley: "Well if we can have it for $21,000.00."
Mr. Brubacher: "We could come out pretty good by taking this offer."
Mayor Milbert: "What reserve do we have with the S��.�e? about $130,000.00?"
and we should get another $35,000.00 this year." �actural figure was $125,751.98)
Mr. Harrima.n: "Do they plan to widen County �k73 to Highway ��7?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, all the way."
Mr. Harrima.n: "How wide is the present road?"
Mr. Strojan: "Thirty feet."
Mr. Harriman: "Does this go into the Pure Oil property;"
Mr. Brubacher: "They have the right-of-way."
Mr. Else: "The road will swerve when they get down around Highway ��12."
Mayor Milber: "A by-pass will be built while the bridge is being built."
"Councilmen looking at Mr. Strojan`s ma.p of the �oad"
Mr. Hanley: "It will go straight as a string, right across here, pointing."
Mr. Harriman: "What do you need to have us do in this thing?"
Mr. Brubacher: "We need a resolution to act."
Mr. Hanley: "Has Minnetonka agreed?"
-18-
Mr. Brubacher: "It was presented to Minnetonka. last night.."
Mr. Harrima.n: "Mr. Mc Cubrey said St. Louis Park had agreed �ath the exception of
dona.ting the land, all but the diamond on Monk Avenue."
Mr. Hanley: " I thought it was that they said they had the land on the North side
and it was the South land they were concerened with."
Mr. Harriman moved and Mr. Hanley seconded the motion that a resolution -.::c,-^��
approving-the payment to the State $21,000.00 out of State aid road funds

The motion carried.
Mr. Brubacher: "Have a minute to find out about the wishes of the Council on
our future location and upgrading of this road condition." "I have four proposals
from four various firms." "They would come in �ana.lysis th� present plans which
we have recieved,from the State and County. ""If they find them bad, we would
throw them back. The County dosen't do this."
Mr. Hanley: "In other words they are not going to ma.ke any recommendation, we
could almost do that ourselves now."
Mr. Harrima.n: "What was the original plan?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Just a traffic study, no new alignment work. To ana.lysis our
present plans as we fiave them now, but the will do no new work."
Mr. Brubacher: "Barton -Aschman Associates would do a pr.elimina.ry route appraisal
on the proposed highway stystem of Hopkins, I think their service would really be
the best. ""It would be the same type of thing that Mr. Hawks does." "Were they
to take the work, they would do the best job."
Mr. Brubacher: "They would conduct design studies of the prescribed routes and
negotiate with State and County Highway Officials on a time and expenses incurred."
"It is to early to have a actural cost submitted from them, they feel they must get
the first two phases done first." "
Mr. Sgnbacher: "From the four firms I have been quoted cost all the way from nothing
to $18,000.00."
Mr. Hanley: "How do you eccount for this difference?"
Mr. Brubacher: "I can't give you an answer." "We, John, Jim and i felt the work
should be done in three phases.
"I talked to Mr. Barton when I was in Chicago on a cost plus time basis. I got
the same answers that I got in this letter. However the four phases comes in a
packa.ge."
Mr. Hanley: "Find out what the first phase is."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr.: "That total package could be streched too."
Mr. Harriman: "When you had your conversation with Mr. Barton, how did the seem
to feel?"
-19-
Mr. Brubacher: "They did all of the work for Daytons."
Mr. Harrima.n: "Did they do the work at SouthDale. They are the gnys that I want."
Mr. Brubacher: ""It was Mr. Barton's thinking. They would be objective ifi am sure."
Mr. Harrima.n: "They laid out the streets in Southdale and Ghe�County bought �ham?"
Mr. Else: "I don't think the�e.are County road out there."
Mr. Brubacher: "Isn't 66 a County road?"
Mr. Harriman: "One of their men is a local ma.n, he cane in to see me. Do you know
anything about him at all?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Not to much, you can be good and bad on anything." ,
Mr. Ha.rrima.n: "I think it would be a good idea to have them come in."
Mayor Milbert: "I would go for that to."
'Mr. Brubacher: "There is only one ���everlheaud 'o�EawasaBe�ton. The firm may have
a good reparatation but you may get a poor ma.n doing the work."
Mr. Harrima.n: "They work for the County and the State. Would they be reluctant
to submit work reports that might confict with what the St�te/"
Mr. Brubacher: "They do not design for the State."
Mr. Hanley: "Can we say in effect that he appear at the next council meeting?"
Mr. Pokorny, Jr.: "I feel we need a special meeting for that."
Mr. Harrima.n: "We are having nothing but special meetings."
Mr. Brubacher: "Can you meet next Tuesday night?"
Mr. Harriman: "Can you get this fellow to come and let us hear him at a dinner
meeting?"
Mayor Milbert: "Tuesday aPlright? Shall we say at five?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Mr. Aanley can't be here that early. He will just be getting home
fron Chicago."
Mr. Harrima.n: "Can he come at seven or nine?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Maybe Mr. Hanley would have time to see him while he is in Chicago
next week?"
Mr. Ha.nley: "No, I wouldn't have time. I am tied up all day Monday and Tuesda.y."
Ma.yor Milbert: "We could have

department are pretty correct, this building is being carried on their �looks at $7,600.00.

need for this Ordinance."
Mr. Brubacher: "We felt it was needed; we have no such regulation and we felt we needed

Mr. Harrima.n:� "Hasn't this fellow ever bid before?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, Mr. Harrima.n, I think that is the problem."
Mr. Hanley: "Who wrote the specs for any reason should follow them."
I
Mr. Brubacher: "This in effect.is the reason of the spread. The low bid doesn�:t meet
the specs." �
Mr. Hanley: "That is only fair, if they meet the specs and still are n�ot low the low
bid should be thro�n out if it doesn't meet the specs. It isn`t fair to those who do
bid the specs."
Mr. Harriman: "I take it in a few instances who ever wrote the specs were in error."
Probably a problem of his part."
Mr. Brubacher: "Mr. Harrima.n were there any instances where there was any question we
award the bid?" "How about on the back stops and shelter?"
Mr. Hanley: "On number 2 that seem all right."
Mr. Harriman: "On the back stops, the.ye���just cant be the�same."
Mr. Brubacher: "No, they can't, three bids are real close and the othei is way low."
"It is completly different." 'I
-3-
Mr. Hanley: "Just looking at the picture, they did try." '
Mr. Harrima.n: " You can always allow for a little bite of honest error."
Mr. Ha.nley: " I would go along with the lowest of the three bids that seem to bid on
the specs."
Mr. Harriman: "I would take the recomemdation for numer 2, on the open park shelter
but I would think we should check a little on number 3 and even 4."
Mr. Harriman: "I don't think the specs for the posts were meet on the slide.
Mr. Else: "The other two Companies had something better on number 2."
Mr. Brubacher: "With fibre glass ma.t.it would be different and a lot stronger': "The number
three item is quite close."
Mr. Harrima.n: " Yes, but when we went thro�}gh this and he didn't have the specs on the
post bid.:"
Mr. Hanley: "Then we have to take the higher bid, take the one that meets the specs."
Mr. Harriman: "Well, we aren't. I will go alone with you on number three."
Mr. Brubacher: "The slid is a question that should be a ma.tter of question, I suggest
we hold number 4."
Mr. Hanley: "What I don`t like about holding these bids, the poor fellow who bid is dead
then when we go out again."
Mr. Brubacher: "I don`t mean reject, just hold until the next council meeting, on just
this one. I mean the swing. It is a case of just not meeting specs."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr: This is a fair and just bid because they are quite close."
Mr. Brubacher: "It is a case of the fiber glass material."
Mr. Brubacher: "I was under the feeling that it was a case of getting from Mr. Vesely
the opinion as to wheither it was legal to accept a lone bid."
Mr. Vesely: "I didn't see the bid before this evening".
Mr. Hanley: "I don`t think we should over rule the Commissions recomemdation."

of our building facing lOth Street. This walk-up facility will be an unique
"first" for this part of the country and in addition, we would anticipate it
would alleviate considerable parking problems in the parking lot to the South
of the Building.
-5- �
In order to ma.ke a more orderly flow of traffic in the front of the walk-up,
we would like to purchase from the city the five parking meters on lOth Street
directly in front of the East facing of the`building.
Our calculations show that the ma.ximum amount of revenue that these meters
could presently bring to the city'would approxima.te $460.00. However, persona.l
observations obviously reveals that the gross revenues are considerably below
that figure. Consequently, we would like to enter into a three year contract with
the city whereby the Northwestern National Bank of Hopkins would pay the City
$350.00 per year for the use of the five parking spaces. The contract could be
drawn to be agreeable to both the city and the Northwestern Nationa.l Bank of
Hopkins by the bank`s attorney and would be written to commence approxima.tely
September 1, 1962. Included in the contract would be an agreement between
the bank and the city whereby the city would�move the existing parking meters
and erect a five minute parking sign to be agreed upon by the bank and the
City.
We feel that this would be an advantageous agreement for both the city and the
Northwestern Nationa.l Bank of Hopkins and appreciate your attention to it.
Yours very truly,
E. J. Schmitz'
... ;:::President.
Mr. Hanley: Does that mean you will with-draw the drive-up plan for the bank?
Rep: "No, just a proposed "walk-up" ".
Mr. Hanley: "Would you have the sign over the side-walk Joe?"
Mr. Vesely: "No, the sign must be over the canopy".
Mr. Pokorny: "It would have to be over the post."
Mr. Harriman: "Is your building going to flush out even with Donovan`s in between?"
Mr. Vesely: "I want to see that letter."
Mr. Hanley: "Do we sell parking meters, Mr. Vesely?"
Mr. Vesely: "That is the question."
Rep: "We figured out the rever�ue to be about $3.00 per day.
Mr. Vesely: "Public=.use of ineters is for the regulai�ion of traffic. You are not
regulating traffic. You are accepting money for what?"
Mr. Pokorny: "$360 for these will pay for winding the rest of them."
Mr. Vesely: "I collect by my one."
Mr. Harriman: We will get the same situa.tion at 9th Avenue North."
Mr. Pokorny: "What do you mean Bob?"
Mr. Harriman: "If this type of banking is a success you know that the other bank will
do the same thing."
Mr. Vesely: "How do you propose to enfo�ce the five minute parking?"
Mr.Harriman: "Under the conditY.on that you explain will you enforce it?"
Rep: "Yes, we are going to try to watch them and we will enforce the time limit ourselves."
Mr. Harriman: "You would be putting your neck out."
Mr. Harriman: "Put in a five minute sign and pay us nothing."
Mr. Milbert: "Once he has the five minute parking signs we might talk about that again."
Mr. Harriman: "You can`t do that. In or under no condition can you say what they can.do." '
Mr. Vesely: "A dry cleaners tried this same thing a few years ago, he wanted 15 minutes
-6-
for people to pick up their cleaning and it was turned down."
Mr. Harriman: "He didn`t pay anything?"
Mr. Vesely: "He wanted 15 minute meters."
Rep: "They are going to vacate a five minute sign faster than a 15 minute one."
Mr. Ha.nley: "Vincent, who enforces that five minute parking down by your pla�.e?"
Mr. Else: "We do, but we don't have much of a problem."
Mr. Milbert: "The police are the only ones that can enforce the meters time period."
"If we lease them to you can they use the meters for anything?"
Rep: "Well, we would want them to use the time for banking."
Mr. Milbert: "Yes, only thing is the City can get them on is for the five minute over-
time." "Is is necessary?"
Rep: "Ye�, to get more traffic=and to keep it moving."
Mr. Milbert: "But with all the parking behind, is it necessary?"
Mr. Milbert: "They have to drive in and then go to the bank window and deposit, can't
see much difference in driving around to the back."
Rep: "If you aren't sure about the parkitxg meters we will leave that part go for now."
Mr. Hanley: "Is there an entrance there or what?"
Rep: "There will be a tellers window."
Mr. Vesely: "We are asking for lots of_trouble if we give this to them."
Mr. Harrima.n: "Don`t look at me so harshly, Joe."
Mr. Vesely: "If we do a thing like th�s we are going to have fellows wanting two hour
parking and what not."
Mr. Pokorny: "Thats for sure, let in one five minute meter and that would do it."
Mr. Else moved and Mr. Harriman seconded the motion that the City nose around and explore
the situation in Minneapolis and report on it."
Hr. Pokorny: "Anything else?"�
Mr. Hanley: "No, just the drive in."
Mayor Milbert: "2-E. Communication dated June 10, 1962 from Mr. John D. Foley, relative
to the flooding of property due to the run-off of water from Blake:::raod.
At the suggestion of Mr. Brubacher I am writing to you to request relief from the
flooding of my property due to the run-off of water from Blake Road.
Recently the water ma.ins were extended in front of my lot (on the east side of
Blake Road) to the south of the old Street-car right-of-way and thence east. The
crew asked and received permission to run their bulldozers over the front of my
yard so as to repair the street. The continued use of these heavy ma.chines wore
down my yard well below the level of the street. The crew forema.n dozed in as
much fill as he had left over to fill in this depression b�t there was nowhere
near enough.
Since then the heavy raims have come. They drain southerly on Blake Road until
they reach the low front of my yard. Then they cascade into the yard washing soil
from the front into a very low spot at the back of my lot. This floods to within
a fe�.cfeet of the rear of my house as a lake forms. Since there is clay under this
area, I have had either a lake or a mudhole in front of my garage for more than a
month. It is impassable.
Mrs. Foley has talked to both the Hopkins and Hennepin County Highway Departments
-7-
but both of them say there is no clear jurisdiction because the street is both
city and county (�20). The only solution appears to be the installation of storm
sewers which would carry off most of the water from the two hundred feet to the north
of my lot as well as the water which runs off the street directly in front of my
home. I understand there is storm sewer installation going on very near to my
home. Would it be possible for you to extend this sewer project to relieve this
flooding problem?"
I would appreciate your putting this matter on the docket for the next Council meet
ing so I can appear to ma.ke my request in person. Thank you for your consideration
of this request.
John D. Foley.
Mayor Milbert: "Mr. Foley is here." "And Mr. Strojan is here."
Mr. Strojan: "The property (showing map) ;�.s.=.irom here to the street car right-of-way
to Blake Road. This is the line here of the draina.ge. The 200 feet here.drain on
the property, and the drainage from the South is in that direction, the rest of the
drainage is towards Ashly road. Mr. Foley's problem is that his property is lower than
the black top itself. So the water runs off the black top onto their property. They
get so�ae water from other property and from the road. We went out there to see if the
drainage could go to the right-of -way but found that they-.�ill end up about 2 foot
between the black top and the right-of way."
Mr.Hanley: "Isn:'_t this property also sold. For all practical purposes this condition
will continue to be a problem when the rest of this property is sold."
Mr. Pokorny: "Why cant' we grade the right-of-way so that the water will run into
Edina on the downward grade of Spruce?" �
Mr. Hanley:, "Mr. Foley, in looking at this when you landscape wouldn't you have to
build up your property enough so the water wouldn't be a problem?"
Mr. Foley: "No, the run-off from the right-of-way and from the road will continue."
Mr. Han.ley: "But if when you landscape you will build up your yard 6" then you can
send all of the water down the road."
Mr. Foley: "The property on the North or on Ashley Road, I don't know who put this
in but if about six or a foot of the road, or the shoulder of the road were bladed
down it would keep the water from this drainage."
N1�yor Milbert: "If the shoulder of the road was bulldo�ed about six inches lower would
that help?" "Or how much lower would it need to be?"
�
Mr. Foley: "At least six inches."
Mayor Milbert: "John, do you think this same thing would take care of the situa.tion?"
Mr. Strojan: "Yes."
Mr. Foley: "There are some new storm sewers going to be constructed, couldn't you
extend them over to help out?"
Mr. Hanley: "The storm sewer wouldn't do anything for you. You want to build up your
property first."
Mr. Foly: "This means raising the whole lot."
Mr. Hanley: "If it was agreeable for us to put the storm sewer in you would still have
�
the same problem."
Mr. Harriman: "This is why they put the sewer in."
Mr. Foley: " The bulldozer ma.de a gully. I ask them to doze it in again but he didn't
have much dirt to do it with."
Mr. Hanley: "I can't see that even if we put in the storm sewer that it would be of
any help to you."
Mr. Foly: "Wouldn`t it help if you had a storm sewer down by the lot?"
Mr. Brubacher: "You talk to the County about this question, it is their water."
Mr. Ha.nley: To Mr. Brubacher. "Can we request the County to do something about this
condition?"
Mr. Foly: "We could get along with some fill for now."
Ma.yor Milbert: "We11_�_we can do thht."
Mr. Brubra�er: "The county will do something."
Mr. Hanley: "Will they do something?"
Mr. Hanley: "Dick, how soon do you think the County will do something?"
Mr. Brubacher: "It wouldn't be before the next Council meeting."
Mr. Hanley: "Can we put in some file for a while?"
Mr. Pokorny: "But if we put in file want the water just back up?"
Mr. Brubacher and Mr. Hanley: "No, it will just run i:n the road."
Mr. HanTey: (pointing to ma.p) "If we put in some file to here and as the County water
come down and if they want to they can go on that and when we get it down to here we
can see what we can do with the County."
Mr. Hanley: "Will we need a motion to do that?"
M�yor Milbert: "We will request to the County and in the meantime we will put some file
in."
Mr. Foly: "Thank you very much."
Mr. Brubacher: "W.e have a petition. Mr. Schna.bel is here to represent the signers of
the petition. The petition explains itself. Mr. Strojan and I issued the permit."
Mr. Schnabel: The problem has been back there ever since the theatre was bui�t. None of
the Parkridge property could be used for a commercial use. Now two pieces of it are
in commercial use. Take one incident last week, I almost got hit; couldn't see the car
it came out of the parking lot. My seven year old boy had the same thing happen to him,
the car came out of this parking lot. Some of the cars go down the alley and�;miss
the stop sign. Then they come out of that parking lot like --------. Now when we have
tw.o opening it is that much worse. I know what the threatre want, they can empty their
lot a lot faster, but it is just a crime the way they come out of that lot. It fine
that the empty the lot a lot faster but we have more traffic problems than we had before.
Then there is this Mr. Softie ma.n, he gets around there about dark and he come by clang-
ing his bell and the kids come a running. We cannot see where this openin.g is a benefit
-9-
These fellow cut through the lot and then they don't need to stop at the sign, they'get
home two seconds earlier that way. We all say the lot looks a lot better than it has ever
looked, it is very nice. However, I understand they are going to put in shrubs, and when
they get high, those cars, you wont see them until they get out in the street. Some
trucks are parking there. If theyare parking on the coP.a�r then it is very bad. You
can't see. For our own safety and our childrens safety I feel these �r�iilies who have
signed this petition should be considered and the North opening of the parking lot closed."
Mayor Milbert: "Dick, how many entrances does this lot have?"
Mr. Brubacher: "It has two."
Mr. Milbert: "one on the North."
Mr. Brubacher: "We checked this out with Mr. Puck and he felt it would be better to
have the traffic leave by the two entrances and that it would work out better for every-
one."
Mayor Milbert: "Dick, have you checked since." '
Mr. Brubacker: "We talked with Mr. Engler and he is willing to put in stop signs."
N1�yor Milbert: "Should chain it and see that the chains are ciown when he wants to use
the lot" .
Mr. Brubacher: "It is property."
Mr. Hanley: "Ot a degree, but we don`t w.ant people Qopping out any where."
Mayor Milbert: "I recommend.that the ma.tter be refe�red back to Mr. Puck."
Mr. Hanley: "It would be better if we talked to him."
Mr. Brubacker: "He fame over when he heard about the petition."
Mr. Hanley: "It is not.�to late to talk to him.
Mr. Harrima.n: "He must want to cooperate."
Mr. Brubacher: "He cleaned up a junk pile." "And it cost him a lot of money."
Mr. Pokorny: "It is interesting that Mr. Sofetie is out going around after dark."
Mr. Hanley: "I notice that no one on lst Avenue signed the petition."
Mr. Schnabel: "We didn't approach all of the families."
Mr. Hanley: "Once before we had a deal and the people around the peoperty didn't have
anything to say."
Mr. Schnabel: "I understand that because he �ias clean�d up the place they are not going
to kick about the driving,"
Ma.yor Milbert: '.'We will referre this to Mr. Puck".
Mr. Schnabel: "They should at least put up stop signs."
Mayor Milbert: "Dick says he has agreed to do that."
Mr. Hanley: " I suppose they just feel they can pull out and go."
Mr. Pokorny: "Just step on the gas."

agreement with Minnetonka Village on a joint designation of a portion of this road

and then go ahead?"
Mr. Harriman: '�May I ask a question about 16th?" "Do we have to take almost all of
the parking lot of Janney Semp�l Hill?"
Mr. Strojan: "No, we don't."
Mr. Harrima.n: "Have you been out to see?"
Mr. Strojan: "Yes, but it will take only the corner."
Mr. Harriman: "I have looked at it on the South, the East and the West and can't see
but what you will be taking a good share of it."
Mayor Milbert: "I have looked at it too."
Mr. Ha.rrima.n: "Are you talking about the property East of Sachs nuts?"
Mayor Milbert: "Yes, but we will look at it again."
Mr. Brubacher: "Does this have to be done tonight?"

Mr. Jack Leonard, Partner of Edwards and Kelcey present his firms standings and findings
on the subject of traffic and economic study of Hopkins�in relation to the proposals of the
�tate of Minnesota and the County of Hennepin to constr.uct new highways through the City
of Hopkins.
Scope-of Work
We propose to perform such work as may be necessary to furnish you with the informa.tion
requested.
Generally our work will consist of the following:
A. Collection and review of existing plans and data
1. Hennepin County plans for Routes 18 and 3.
2. Minnesota Department of Highways plans for Route 7.
3. City of Hopkins suggested alterna.tes for the above ron�es.
4. City of Hopkins ma.ster plan of development including present and proposed zoning.
5. �tain City Area Transportation Study traffic information (TCATS).
6. Assessed valua.tions and tax revenues for selected parcels of property.
7. Employment statistics at selected industries and commercial establishments.
8. Railroad movements at Excelsior�Avenue.
B. Collection of additiona.l data as required
1. Up date volume counts on ma.jor roadways..
2. Intersection turning movement counts at significant locations.
3. Supplemental railroad movement data.
4. Field reconna.issance to observe existing traffic.movements.
C. Ana.lysis of all the above data and plans with respect to:
1. Location
2. Profile�
3. Cost of construction
4. Traffic movements including industrial and business district traffic.
5. Physical and economic effects on the City of Hopkins. (We interpret "economic
effects" to be traffic benefit-cost ratios, ratable and tax losses to the City
due to direct property takings for the new roadway rights of way, and general
observations of whether each route is good or bad for the City.)
D. Development of additional plans and profiles as we may deem necessary with cost estima.tes
traffic assignments, and a study of the �,conomic effects of each alternate plan for:
1. County Highway ��18 including interchanges.
-17-
2. County Highway ��3 including interchanges
3. State Highw ��7 including interchanges
4. Excelsior Avenue grade separation at the railroad
E. Conferences will be held at regular intervals and informal discussions conducted fre-
quently with Council Representatives, the City Manager,�City Engineer, the City Planner,
and other whom the City may designa.te or who may be helpful to us in conducting the
study.
F. Our final report (to be submitted in six copies) will be a.typewr.itten manuscript
suitablybound and will consist of text which will describe in detail the studies we
conducted, a sunm�ary of our findings, the conculusions drawn therefrom, our recom-
mendations with respect to your acceptance or rejection:of the County and State
proposals and if rejection, then our recommenda.tions for.alterna.tives. The report
will include definite statements regarding the segen specific points enumerated in
your letter plus statements on any other ma.jor rela.ted issue which ma.y be.uncovered
during the course of our work. The report will be supplemented by drawings as
needed to support the text and will at least include plan and profile drawings of
the routes considered at a sufficient scale to point out the ma.jor problems involved
and to enable us to ma.ke a preliminary estima.te of.constructlfion cost of each of the
alterna.tes.
Time of Completion
We can complete all of the above work within four (4) calendar months from date of receipt
of instruction to proceed provided we are able to obtain the required traffic data from
TCATS within four weeks of our request for the_data. (TACT�) work load is such that they
cannot always interrupt their own work to deyelop data requested by others within the.time
limits desired. However, we have.been assured of their cooperation to the best of their
ability)
Remuneration
We will conduct a°11 of the above work for a lump siun fee of Eighteen thousand eight
hundred and twenty five dollares ($18,825.00), said fee to be paid in two (2) equal
installments: the first installment to be due 70 calendar days after receipt of instruction
to proceed and the final installment to be due upon submission of our report.
We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to present this ,proposal and look forward to the
privilege of working with you on this assignment, the outcome of which will do much to
determine the ma.jor future traffic patterns~ in Hopkins..

our needs will be met if you will sign and return the enclosed copy of the proposal to us.
We are prepared to begin work on this assigncnent within a few days after receipt of the

Mr.Harrima.n: "How does this vary from the proposals received three months ago?"
Mr. L�o�ra: "In this, it is an area study, in turn and effect on the City of Hopkins."
Mr. Ha.rriman: "I don't guite get the effect of the layout of County ��18 and Highway ��7."
Mr. Leona.rd: "Something is going to have to take place so the locations::get settled."
Mr. Ha.rrima.n: This, I understand ----
Mr. Harriman: "You are what ---- or road engineers?"
Mr. Leona.rd: "We are engineers, road and traffic."
Mr. Harrima.n: "What is your relation to Hennepin County and the State of Minnesota with
regards to your past experences?"
Mr. Leona.rd: "We haven't done any work for the State of Minnesota like we are suggesting
to do here for the City of Hopkins.." :
�:; <: :
Mr. Leonard: "IIe are doing the final work on the one mile of the Minneapolis road."
Mr. Ha.rriman: Which are you finding out about; the State and representing the city and
the State?"
Mr. Leona.rd: "We would be representing yc��_
�``hT9'��`� .
Mr. Ha.rriman: "Could,.you find out anything that the.State hasn't found out?"
,:,, P,
Mx. Leona.rd: "Yes, i�s:could be that we could.come up with something that ttte� have over-
looked. When we do they are invarialbey helpful."
Mr. Harriman: "The scope of the survey, Mr. Brubacher, is this more than what Barton &
- - - - - - had to offer?"
Mr. Brubacher:.."No, they got the same letter."
Ma.yor Milbert: "All the repl:�es and.offers were based on the same letter."
Mr. Brubacher: "In mine own mind I was going to talk with them further, but there has
been a_misinterpretation in what they have come up with."
Mayor Milbert: "Do you feel we should discuss this even after his explaina:tion?"
Mr. Brubacher: "I feel the Council and I should discuss this more .than I'discuss it with
him. We have to clearify our own understanding; I want to know where I stand with the
Council on the question." _
Ma.yor Milbert: Mr. Leonard's„proposal is similar to what the others proposed."
Mr. Bru'3actier: "The others have put it in two phases."
Mayor Milbert: "What about County ��3 and ��18 and Highway ��7. -.
Mr. Brubacher: "Then when we get these ana.lysises qe will go to the State and County
and then go a.step further, but not as an alternate before we have the answers."
Mr. Leona.rd: "Would you want to go without an alternate?"
Mr. Else: "This is not all engineer�;d;out, ma.y be the State would do the enginaering."
Ma.yor Milbert: "We did haye it.in phases and then it would be a cost plus deal.
Mr. Br.ubacher:" "I:think we will have to discuss this further and then when Mr. Leona.rd
is in town again we will discuss it with him."
Mr. Harriman: "I thing that is the way it should be, then when we get the answers we
could talk to them all again."
Mr. Hanley: I think that is it, Then when we get all of the answers we can talk again."
Mr. Ha.nley: "It should be on,a cost plus, basis:�
Mr. Leonard: "There are 240 hours of work or more in our plan."
Mr. Po�.orny: Although Mr. Brubacher, I think what they are proposing is.what we are
talking about ."
Mr. Burbacher: Yes, Mr. Pokorny, c,h�t is true, but,we have to see the first phase first."
Mr. Brubacher: ".Mr. Setterland and Leach�.�are here, shot�ld we meet in m�:.�office?"
Mayor Milbert: "Is there anything else?"
Mr. Timmerman: Representing the Chamber of Commerce presented a plan for a Carnival
three days prior to the Ra.spberry festival; they desire to have the carnival on the ma.in
street from 8th to llth . A fire lane would be left open. The carnival in question would
have 12 rides. All .of' the or ma.ny of i�erchan�s_.and so far only five or six have said no.
Mr. Brubacher: They wouldn't have any rides on the corner of 8th. Would like to have
rides on 9th and lOth, that would mean bloex�ng those streets but not 8th for rides.
-19-
Mr. Ti�nerman.said that he had ta��ed with Mr. Puck, and while Mr. ��ck said there would
I
be some problems,the problems could be worked out. The buses would have to be re-routed
Mayor Milberit: "Any reports of how the business"men feel about this?"
Mr. Pokorny: "Publish it in this weeks paper and see if we get any reaction from the
newspaper re�port."

Mr. Timmermain: "Late.Sunday night." "And they would take down on Thursday."
Mayor Milberit: "How do� this go along with the Raspberry CommitteeY"

mobil home. They would like an area for parking them."
Mayor Milberit: "We would like them to have anyplace but the ma.in street."
Mr. Timmerman: Northern States Power will take careof all lights etc/
Ma.yor Milbert: Could they use the parking lots?"
Mr. Ha.nley:�"Let the paper splash it and then we can be poled Doug."

reasons. I am informed that we are living up to the old Ordina.nce, we are not living up
to either one; you have to do st�mething to the old ordinance or pass this one, the new one
is all right except for some minor changes; we have got to do something or we will get sued
for not living up to either one of the ordinance."
Mr. Brubacher: "The point we are talking about is that we had a pay calendar and a system
of advancement that we went off of when we started working on this ordinance about five
years ago and now when we hire or have to work with the ordina.nce we are sort of puting
our necks out."

15 FEET OF LOT 16; BLOCK 85 LOT 22; BLOCK 102, LOTS 3; 4, AND 5, by the rebuilding or re-
constructing of sidewalks thereon. The estima.ted cost to be $2,241.31."
Mayor Milbert: "Is there anyone here that would like to speak on this improvement?"
A property owner:"I have a 50 foot lot and a couple of years ago I had my driveway put in
that was ten feet wide. The driveway part of the sidewalk is only two years old and shouldn't
need replacing. That leave only forty feet of sidewalk and my estimated cost is $172.70.
I am lot 19; Lots 20 and 21 have sidewalks that are worse than mine and they weren't even
assessed."
Ma.yor Milbert: "John can you answer this?"
Mr. Strojan: "Your are at 137 - 6th Avenue Norht?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Is the assessment just for sidewalk repair?"
Property Owner: "It says strickly sidewalks."
Mr.Else: "Why wouldn't we take them right in a row?"
Mr. Strojan: "I see here that 145 - 6th Avenue North are also marked for sidewalk rep�3�
but they were left out by error.
Property Owner: "Thats lots 20 and 21, they aren't assessed and should surely have their
sidewalks repaired if we have to have ours done. But you will be doing theirs?"
Mr. Vesely: "This is not an assessment. It is an estima.te as to what the assessment will
most likely be."
Mr. Hanley: The letter or notice you recieved is only an estima,te of the cost of the side
walk repairs.,"
Mr. Brubacher: "It is an error, 'the property owners on lots 20 and 21 should have been
included."
Mr. Hanley: "Would it ma,ke any difference to your assessment?"
Property Owner: "Well, it seems like a lot for forty feet of sidewalk repair and when
my neighbro didn't get any notice I couldn't understand it."
Mayor Milbert: "Is that the usual cost, John?"
Property'i�w�e�: "Lo.t 18 has an essessment of only $41.00 and he is the lot just beyond."
Mr. Strojan: To property owner: "Your lot shows 72 sq. ft of walk that needs t o be repaired.
-3-
Mr. Strojan: "It shows here that all of the sidewalk needs repairing."
Mayor Milbert: "What has the cost of sidewalk been running, John?" "Would it cost 140?"
Pxop@tty�Owner° "all of the sidewalk doesn't need repairing."
Mr. Strojan: "There has been an error ma.de here. It shows that you should have the total
amount but the idea is to put in repair work only were it is needed; to repair all of the
spots that are bad."
Ma.yor Milbert: "We will only repair only that which needs to be replaced."
Mr. Strojan: "We will have to put in 145 when we have our next hearing on sidewalk repair."
Mayor Milbert: "Does that answer your questions?"
Property Owner: "There is a place that is in need of repair but what we were wondering
about was.our getting an estima.te and our neighb�rs not even hearing from you."
Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Else seconded the motion that Resolution ��1065, A RESOLUTION ORDER-
ING IN THE REPAIR, REBUILDING AND RECONSTRUCTION OF THE SIDEWALKS IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED
LOCATIONS" be so ordered. The motion carried.
Mayor Milbert: "5-B Hearing at 7:30 in the City Council Chambers "FOR THE Il�ROVEMENT OF

Mayor Milbert: "Is there anyone here to speak about;• these suggested improvements, I suppose
you have something to say, Dick."
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, but for another reason, John?"
A property owner: "Are they going to make any cut on the top of that hill?
Mr. Strojan: "They or I think they could cut it off some."
Property Owner: "The way it is now it come to a peak at the top, you can's see either way,
it would be safer if the hill was cut down quite a bite."
Mr. Strojan: "There is a petition here to have the water installed also, it would be rather
foolish to put in the street surfacing before the water mains were laid."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Is that the only reason you are objecting Dick?"
Mr. Brubacher: "No, I am objecting because while the hearing was published the property
owners were not notified." "I don'�t like to have the folks living around me think that
I pushed something through on them without'.:.their knowing about it." "I would like to have
�:t.continued until the next Council meeting."
Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Else seconded the motion that the hearing for the Improvement of
Lots 1 through 11 Block 2, West Park Addition; Tract C, R.L.S. ��315, Lots 16 through 30,

Mayor Milbert: "6-B. Hearing at 7:30 in the City Council Chambers "FOR THE IMPROVEMENT ON
THAT PART OF MONROE AVENUE FROM MADISON AVENUE TO THE NORTH END OF MONROE AVENUE" by the
construction and installation of sanitary sewer and watermains thereon. The estima.ted cost
of the improvements to be $10,708.00."
Mr. Optiz: I would like to request an emergency. push through on this installation. I have
given notice and have to be in my new house by the first of A�nast. The contractor has to
be through by that �ime or pay a.forfeit; I have to move by then; also I would like the
footage cut down if possible as far as my lot goes."
Mr. Strojan: This installation is more or less tied in w�th the request of Mr. Turngren
to plat his property on the North end. We have included that prc�perty in figur��ng the
frontage. The total costs run from Madison Avenue to the end of the property."
Mx. Hanley: "What would that do to the costs?"
Mr. Strojan: "It wou.ldn't change it much."
Mr. Optiz: "The Gas Company are reluctant to go in before the sewer and water is in."
Mayor Milbert: "They want to come in after.we change the grade."
Mr. Ha.nley: "Is there ny,thing that we could do to get it in faster?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Only declare an emergency and get it put in that way."
Mr. Vesely: "You can't declare an emergency in a case like this."
Mr. Brubacher: "We can do it by force account."
Mr. Vesely: "Yes, you could that."
Mr. Brubacher: "We could published next week, give the 10 days after publication, that
would be Monday, the 23rd of July, we would surely have to pay a high premium..to get it in
though."
Mr. Vesely: "What about pipe etc.?"
Mr. Brubacher: "We would have to advertise for pipe."
Mr. Vesely: "Yes, we would have to advertise for pipe." "That would take some time."
Mr. Brubachar.: "Except that we could start i�nediately."
Mr. Hanley: "I can appreciate your your position Mr. Optiz, but if you could hold off:a
little you want have to put in a well, you will have to give a little to get a little. Live
in a motel for a while, it would be cheaper."
Mr. Shaw: "Will it run up the cost to put in by force accoui�t?"
Mr. Strojan: "Yes, it will run the costs up."
Mr. Shaw: "Then I am in favor of doing it the other way."
-Mr. Optiz: "Can you live in a house without gas or water?"
Mr. Hanley: "Well, it would increase the cost for everyone to put it in any faster."
Mr. Strojan: "There is one more question,What do we do with the problem on the street we
haven't put through as yet?"
Mr. Vesely: "Can't do anything if we don't own it."

Mr. Hanley moved that Resolution �k 1066 "A RESOLUTION ORDERING IN THE IMPROVEMENT ON THAT
PART OF MONROE AVENUE FROM MADISON.AVENU� TO TI� NORTH END OF MONREO AVENUE" by the

Mr. Ha.rriman: "Who is this now?"
Mr. Brubacher: "This is the fellow who remodeled without a building permit."
Mr. Hanley: "Mr. Vesely says no, do we choice?"
Ma.yor Milbe�t: "No."
Mr. Ha.nley moved and Mr. Harriman seconded the motion that Mr. Dean Noland's application for

"Is the thing that.stops it the new building?"
"No, he is in violation right.now, it is the double occupanies tha�;`presents
�
�
Mr. Ha.rrima.n: "Was he aware of the hearing to night?"
Mr. Blomquist: "I don't know if he was. However, when I issued him his building permit
I made it clear to him that doubly occupany would be a problem."
Mr. Harriman: "We have double occupanies on the avenue."
Mr. Vesely: "They were all non-conforming, which means they were used in such a ma.tter
before the passing of the Ordinance."
Mr. Ha.rrima.n: "Say that we t�ave a non-conforming place and even if you do not add rooms
or enlarge it in any way the place will stay non-conforming, but if you add, enlarge or
tear down and want to re-build even a portion of the building you loose your non-conforming
permit ?"
Mr. Hanley: "That's the point all right."
Mr. Blomquist: "That is the case that he is in."
Mayor Milbert: "Ha.s he been notified by phone?"
Mr. Brubacher: "No."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Instruct the City Attorney, Mr. Vesely to notify Mr. Speaker of his find-
ings."
Mx. Brubacher: "I feel the Building Inspector, Mr. Blomquist, should notify him. Mr.
Blomquist should tell him he don't have to take the house down if he uses it for the same
commercial business as the new building. Mx. Vesely might violate the fire laws.
Mr. Blomquist: "He is building the new building with a fire wall."
Mr. Else moved that the Bui�ding Inspector, Mr. Blomquist, notify Mr. Speaker that he can
continue to use the house for double occupany and inform him of Mr. Vesely's opinion.

Mayor Milbert: "3-E. Co�nunication from Mr. Wayne W. Wilson, Mastor of Albert Pike Lodge
No. 237 A.F. & A.M. relative to suggested library site."
Mayor pon Milbert
City of Hopkins
City Hall
Hopkins, Minnesota �
Dear Mayor Milbert:
The Building Committee of Albert Pike Ma.sonic Lodge ��237 - Hopkins, Minnesota
would like to place in your files a letter to the effect that we would like to
have the City of Hopkins consider the present location of the Masonic Temple as
a future building site ior the new library.
Although I do not have the exact measurements of the present lot, I believe ,
it is 40' wide and 120' deep. The lot just to the West of the Temple is
approxima.tely 24' wide, same depth. Carl Nygren, present owner of the vacant
lot to the West of the building, is agreeable to selling us this vacant lot.
This would mean a building approximately 65' wide by 110' deep could be erected.
The thought we have in mind is to construct a two story building, with space
available on the first floor and basement for the library. This would give the
library approximately 14,000 squa.re feet of floor space.
Although we have had preliminary discussions with the architectural firm of
Armstrong and Schlichting, nothing further can be done at this time until plans
are more definite.
I know a final decision will not be ma.de until some time in August regarding
the type of library and its location, but I do believe the present Masonic Temple
site for a library would be an.ideal location, plus the fact it certainly wouTd
improve the appearance of the 900 block.
If the City Council, and the citizens of Hopkins, decide to build a library on
the property now owned by the City of Hopkins, perhaps some arrangements could
be ma.de to lease the land.on which the present Ma.sonic Temple is located, to
the City, with the City building a building suitable for the library, with
adequa.te space on the second floor for the Lodge. I can see a disadvantage in
this arrangement insofar as the City is concerned, because they would lose the
tax benefits. I merely mention this as an alterna.tive. Whatever might b�
decided by the City Council and Library Board, insofar as Lodge property is
concerned, would have to be voted on by the members of the Lodge before any

Mr. Harrima.n: "Don't get what this fellow is saying, do we or they mean that we build
the building and they own it or what?"
Mr. Hanley: "Well, all we should do is to place the letter on file until the reco�nendations
come in from the library consultants."
Mr. Ha.nley moved the communication from Mr. W. W. Wilson be placed on file, &: copy of the
letter referred to the library board and the consultants. Mr. Else seconded Mr. Hanley's

carried.
Ma.yor Milbert: "6-E. The Zoning and Planning Commission recommend approval of the request.
to divide a parcel of land having 141' of frontage on County Road ��73 and 240' deep into
two parcel; one parcel of land 66' X 140' for the home of Mr. Golden Simmons; the rema.in-
ing 75' X 140'to be used for a proposed construction of an apartment building in the
Multyply-Residence District, with the requested variance from 100' to 75' with the proviso
that the proposed apartment building be set back thirty feet from the front lot line; the
location under consideration is at the North 141 6/10' of the West 271' of the Northwest �
of the Northwest �, excluding road, Section 24, Township 117, Range 22, or at 533 - 17th
Avenue North. The applications ma.de by Mr. Golden Si�nons."
Mr. Herzan: "My place is getting to be big for me, I want to see my place." "I protest
if they don't have an alley and they put this place up there for eight units." "My
neighbors want me to protest the building of this big box."
Mr. Strojan: "This proposed building site is South of Mr. Herzan's."
Ma.yor Milbert: "We are requiri�.$ a thirty foot set-back, Mr. Herzan."
Mr. Harrima.n: "Don't they plan to widen:highway number 73?"
Mr. Simons: "I agreed to a thirty foot set-back."
Mr. Herzan: li - .... ,_. , � , � r-; ; , , .._ �.
There would��be up to`�'�ix�eeii peop�e in there without kids."
�k � , �9 _ >s�, _
Mr. Harr-iman: `' "How many houses�wi-l1- be taken out?"
Mr. Ha.nley: "None, it is vacant land."
-10-
Mr. Strojan: "Isnit Mr. Herzan in Single-Resident District?"
Mr. Brubacher: "These four houses are all in Single-Residence."
Mr. Else: "(pointing to map) those are all zoned Multyply-Residence."
Mr. Brubacher: "County Road ��73 is the line for the Multyply-Residence." "One house is
in Signle-Residence."
Mr. Vesely: "It is the question of variance."
Mr. Hanley: "That is a big variance."
Mr. Simons: "When Elmo built I sold him a piece of my land. It was zoned Multyply-Residence
then. "I am a way over on the necessary footage of land for this proposed construction."
Mr. Ha.nley: "Have you given any thought to puting in an alley. If an alley were put in
there, Mr. Herzan, would you give fourteen feet?"
Mayor Milbert: "Is there any way aproposed road could go in there?"
Mr. Else: "Mr. Herzan, you are right in the missed of apartment buildings even though
your land is not zoned Multyply-Residence."
Mr: Hanley; "Any thought to be done about this situa.tion?"
Mr. Else: "John, what can be done about the fifty foot easement for a road;"
Mayor Milbert: "The group with Mr. Cal Olsen feel they have the necessary easement to build
a road."
Mr. Brubacher: "It was under the condition that they had the necessary road easement that
they got their liquor license."
Mr. Hanley: " Why don�t we continue until we get some information on this proposed road?"
Mr. Simons: "You can't put an alley in as it.goes right through the Gerard prr�perty. It
or the Gerard property juts out sixty feet. Mr. Carlson and I sold 66 feet to Elmo, but
Gerard didn't sell. If you want to put an alley in you will have to take fourteen feet
of one or more of Elmo's apartment buildings."
Mr. Else: "You could take fourteen feet off of your land."
Mr. Ha.nley: "It would have to be 60 feet plus the 14feet or 74 feet to do any good."
Mr. Simons: "What good is the alley?" "The drivew�:y is all or will be all on the South
side, that is my side. It, the driveway wont be on his, Mr. Herzan side." "I have more
room than the Ordinance requ:;:res."
Mr. Hanley: "I move we continue until the next Council meeting."
Mr. Herzan: "The only thing I object to is so many people, the crowd in there; there isn't
room by his house and mine for all of those people."
Ma.yor Milbert: "He has more room than our ordinanee requires."
Mr. Simons: "If I had 100' if could just ask for a permit and build, I wouldn't even have
to ask the Council for a permit."
Mr. Hanley: "Yes, the only question is the twenty-five foot variance."
Mr. Simons: "Yes, if I had that twenty-five feet.I would just build."
Mr. Herzan: "I just don't care for that kind of a building going in there, a big box."
Mayor Milbert: "It is a Multiply-Residence District and so any building going to be buil�
is going to be of this type."
Mr. Else: "I can't imagine someone buying Mr. Si�nons lot for anything but Multiply-Residence
preposes."
Mr. Haney: "We have to give this variance for Mr. Si�nons to build and there is this
objection."
Mr. Else: "A nice apartment in this area zoned Multiply-Residence that is zoned for;this
: _ JY,.
type of building, I can't see why there should be any question."
Mr. Hanley: "Did Mr. Ha.wks go along with this?"
No answer.
Mr. Hanley: "What did Mr. Hawks say before the Zoning and Planning Commission about this
proposed construction?"
Mayor Milbert: "He didn't see why it wouldn't work out."
Mr. Hanley: "The Zoning and Planning Co�nission doesn't consider twenty five feet.variance
to great to be granted?"
Mr. Else: "No."
Ma.yor Milbert: "The apartments behind are only 70 feet."
Mayor Milbert: "We have motion before us to look into this possiblity of an alley in this
area."
Mr. Hanley seconded Mr. Ha.rrima.n motion. The motion carried.
Mr. Hanley ask that we check with Cal 01son and Mr..Hagen about the road that is to be
put in behind their buildings. Mr. Else ask that we get a bet�er drawing of the area if
Mr Strojan could do so.
Ma.yor Milbert: "7-E. The Zoning and Planning Commission recommend approval of the applica
cation to construct a proposed addtion to an existing house in certain Single-Residence
Dis.trict with a variance of side yard requirements from 12 to 3 feet because of the 80
foot right-of-way of Goodrich Avenue; viz: Lots 28, 29, and 30, Block 11, F. A. Savage's
Interlachen Road or 200 Homedale; the application ma.de by Mr. Thoma.s Carr."
Ma.yor Milbert: "I feel that a right-of-way of sixty feet is reasona.ble. This varianaace
would not put him any closer to the street than everyone else around him is."
Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Else seconded the motion that the recommendation of the Zoning and
Planning Commission be approved and the variance from 12 to 3 feet be granted and the
application to construct a proposed.addition to an existing house be granted. The motion
carried.
Mayor Milbert: "8-E. The Zoning and Planning Co�nission recommend to the City Council that
consideration be given to vacating ten (10) feet on each side of Goodrich Avenue to bring
Goodrich Avenue into the regulation width of the rest of the Avenues of the City of Hopkins."
-12-
Ma.yor Milbert: "The above request was made dae to the 80 foot width of Goodrich Avenue."
"I believe 60 feet is wide enough for this Area."
Mr. Hanley: "The above request brought to our attention that Goodrich Avenue is 80 feet
instead of the usua.l 60 feet width."
Mr. Brubacher: "Where are the utilities?"
Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Else seconded his motion that the Zoning and Planning Conunission's
reco�nendation to consider the vacating of ten (10) feet on each side of Goodrich Avenue
be referre� to the City Engineer for further study. The motion carried.
Ma.yor Milbert: "9-E. "The Zoning and Planning Commission recommend to the City Council
that they deny the application to construct a proposed house in certain Double-Residence
District due to previous established interpretations of Ordinance ��131; viz: Lot 16,
Block 2, Stevens Oakwood Park; said application ma.de by Mr. John Meath."
Mayor Milbert: "One of the 108 foot lots in this area has been split into two 54 foot lots.
Mr. Meath want to build a house 46 feet wide. We suggested he try picking up another four
foot of property. Mr. �eath is now looking for more land or another house plan."
Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Else seconded his motion that the Zoning and Planning Commission's
recommendation to the City Council to deny the application to construct a proposed house
in certain Double-Residence Distruct be approved. The motion carried.
Mayor Milbert: "10-E. The appointment.of one Councilman, to be selected by a majority
of the Council at the first meeting in July, as a member of the Employee's Advisory Board."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Mr. Hanley now has this position."
Mr. Harrima.n moved and Mr. Else seconded the motion that Mr. Hanley be na.med as a member of
the Employees Advisory Board. The motion carried.
Ma.yor Milbert: "1-F. Tabulation of bids for furnishing the City of Hopkins with s.ewer
cleaning."
Mr. Brubacher: "The City Engineer and Mr. Breeka. and I are at some what at odds with me
on this one. I just feel this way because of the straight 43� per foot figure. We got
only one bid and i feel we should re-advertise or study this situa.tion more closely.
woia.ld
Mr. Hanley: "Dick, �� the price come in lower if it was priced by the different size of
the pipes?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Even if we had got�more than one bid, that bothers me, then this bidders
figure shows he is being kind to the City by giving us one figure on all the various sizes
of pipe that have to be cleaned."
Ma.yor Milbert: "You feel there should have been a break-down for the various;=diameter
size of the pipes, Dick?"
Mr. Ha.nley: "We had a single bid last time but it was for all 8" diameter p�ip�s and that
ma.de sence."
Mr. Else: "Explain a.T. V. Going through the sewer?"
Ma.yor Milbert: -13-
Ma.yor Milbert: "American Pipe Cleaning Co. have a truck with a T.V. receiving set in it.
They ean take this truck any place and put the cameras down into the sewer and they will
show pictures of the condi�ions of the sewer, you can see breaks, cracks any roots and if
so the type etc., it is just like watching a movie, you can see just what the conditions
are, how clean etc."
Mr. Else: "What has that to do with_the cleaning?"
Mayor Milbert: "Nothing, but when you run the T.V. through the pipe you know what has
been done, how clean the pipes are."
Mr. Else: "How do you check the pipes when you don't use the �.V.?" "Is that part of the
43� price per foot?"
Mr. Brubacher: "No, the T.V, is extra."
Mr. Ha.nley: "There is no difference, we could just use it as a check on the type of clean-
ing job that had been done; if there is a break or some doubt they can determine the trouble
to the foot; the amount of seepage or what ever the trouble might be."
Mr. Else: "Will we pay for it?"
Ma.yor Milbert: "This is an alternate." �
Mr. Brubacher: Mr. Goldst�en, Mr. Win�eFs.and Mr. Dickson would all like to be heard."
Mr. Goldstien: I would perfer they (meaning the Council) lesson to Mr. Winters and Mr.
,.
Dickson while he was out of the room. Mr. Goldstien left the Council Chambers.
Mr. Han�ley: "Do they have the facilities to do the cleaning?" �
5
Mr. Brubacher: They didn't bid, they feel we should owned our own equipment."
Mr. Hanley: "How were they prepared.to clean the sewer if they didn't bid;"
Mr. Dickson and Mr. Winter: We are interested and will do the cleaning but we are mostly
interested in selling the municipalities the equipment with �ahich to do the cleaning."
We sell cleaning equipment. We think we can save you a lot of money and this me�chine I
am talking about will do the work and you will still have the equipment when you are finished."
"Ma.ny of the neighborhood towns have this equipment.0
Mr. Hanley: "Will Mr. STrojan come up?"
Mr. Strojan comes up and stand where he can be sure and hear the presentation of Mr. Winters.
Mr. Winter: The price that is quoted is 43�. On the eight " pipe it would be a lot,
cheaper. We have seen figures of 8" pipe as low as 8� a foot. At .:14,000 or 3,000 feet if
�ou buy a complete set of equipment it will run you $9,000.00 and have a life time of
fourteen years; you can continue to clean any size pipe that might need the clean ing."
Ma.yor Milbert: "How ma.ny men are needed to run the equipment?"
Mr. Winters: "1�ao men can handle the equipment."
Mr. Harriman: "How ma.ny ma.n hours?"
Mr. Winters: "You could get from two to three feet per day, it will_. depend on your men
and the type of cleaning they are doing. Bucket men should get one block a day. St. Claud
say their cost are around 17�.on the rodding merchine; less than 2� when they clean 200,000.
-14-
feet a year. I can say that we could come in, furnish our own equipment and then leave it
arid save you money."
Mayor Milbert: When did you bib?"
Mr. Winters: "We did bid but we came in a minute or two late."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Who was your bidder?"
Mr. Winters: "A. M. I."
Mr. Winters: "Our bid is less than half the bid you have here." "We would like to sell
or even rent you our equipment for $900.00 per month, at the end of the month if you aren't
satisfied you will have that much of your cleaning done but if you are satisfied you can
use the months rental towards the purchase price of the equipment."
Mr. �Harrima.n: "In this area around here do you have any of your equipment placed?"
Anoka.
Mr. Winters: "Yes, in St. Louis Park, Edina, Minneapolis, Bloomington, Ant��=., Columbia
Heights, New Brighton, in fact all around here."
Mr. Hanley: Bucket or sewer rodder?"
Mr. Winters: ":=-P�nchester has both." "Duluth has two sets of buckets."
Mr. Ha.rrima.n: "Your are from the City of Hopkins?"
Mr. Winters: "Yes, we are."
Mr. Harrima.n: "You are here mainly to see equipment and not as a bidder?"
Mr. Ha.nley: "When did we buy our equipment?"
Mr. Burbacher: "In 1958."
Mr. Brecka.: "That is to clean sand."
Mayor Milbert: "Mr. Burbacher, did they bid in 1961?"
Mr. hanleqc:�.::°Never had a bid at that time."
Mr. Brubacher: "We had two other bids in 1961."
Mr. Harrima.n: "The Company that bid 43� do not use your equipment?"
Mr. Winters: "They do not."
Mr. Dicicson: "This thing on the bid; it was on Central Standard time and it wouldn't of
been late, but you called the bid on Daylight saving time."
Mr. Ha.nley: "I don't think anyone will buy that one."
Mr. Harriman: "I wonder, have our jobs been so sma.11 that we have farmed them out before."
Mr. Uesely at 17� which was the bid the last tiifle, yes."
Mr. Harrima.n: "But it isn't 17� now."
Mr. Winter: "You could spend $5,000. for labor but you would still come out."
Mayor Milbert: "We have 150,000 feet of sewer?"
Mr. Dickson: "You are the only City around this area that don't have our equipment."
Mr. Else: "We should look into other towns."
Mr. Ha.nley: "Did you check with St. Cloud?"
Mr. Strojan: "Yes, I did call them but �.hey don't have their cost broke down in such a
way so that they can tell us anything.
-15-
Mr. Brubacher: "They clean sewers but they don�t break.their cost down to bucket or to
rod man hours etc., that is whi we can`t come up with a figure on cost that mean anything
to us."
Mr. Dickson: Wells, Minnesota got a price from a contractor, I don't know what the quote
was but they bought our equipment, cleaned thier sewers and now they are renting it out
to the towns around them."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Maybe we could rent ours out."
Mr. Dickson: "We have been at 801 Excelsor for five years, we cover eight states. Each
one of our customers is very satisfied, the depreciation is slow. I feel you should think
about this. Other equipment is a great deal more.
Ma.yor Milbert: "Richard, which or what is pour reco�nendation?" .
Mr. Dickson: "We would be selling your City a set of equipment, but that is something
to think about."
Mr. Brubacher: "I think we should hear from Mr. Goldstien first."
Mr. Winters and Mr. Dickson left the Council Chambers.
Mr. Goldstein was invited into the Chambers for his presentation.
Mr. Brubacher: "I know some want to compare cost, but we can'_� come up with the cost."
"Our engineers can't give it to your."
Mr. Strojan: "It depends on the conditions. You can come up with jobs that will take
a day to go one foot." "Then the man has to know what he is doing." "I doubt if these
people even lifted one man hole cover in the whole system before they bid."
Mr. Hanley: "If we run the bucket through what has to be done to be sure it is a good
�ob���
Mr. Strojan: "You pass a gage through." HA bucket on going through or even on rodding
you can push some types of roots aside and then they will fall in as soon as you have been
through them."
Mr. Ha.nley: "is there anyway that we would be able to check on a job?"
Mr. Brubacker: "T.V. was an ext�a but it was to be used only if we wanted to check on
the cleaning. I feel that they should be able to do a better job. That is there business.
The only part is this over-all cost. I just don't like 43� across the board."
Mr. Hanley: "Dick, would you have felt better if you would have gotten a lot of costs
if they still averaged out to 43� per foot?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, I would feel better about it."
Mr. Hanley: "Could we have accepted or taken part of a bid?"
Mr. Br•�iia�t��n: "Yes, that is ths way we usual write out the specs."
Mr. Hanley: "Then we could :�.have taken parts of the bid."
Mr. Goldstien: Our Company is or has 28 years of business experience. We have doing work
for Hopkins since 1955. We sell ma.chines and have cleaned here before in 1959 and 1961.
The time before we bid I think it was in 51 - 53 based on 8" pipe. We bide 17� and the
-16-
reason was to keep our pay roil up. You can't train men we have in a few days. It is
hard to get them to work unless they feel they have steady work. The last time we bid
it was just about our cost, in fact it was a little below our cost but it did keep our
`• men busy and so our pay roll up; it was Christma.s last time. Dick is questioning the 43�
big straight across the board. We know from going around with our crew ma.ny of the
problems of roots, and the sand on Excelsior Avenue that has never been cleaned for forty
or fifty years. I know that we have told you that unless Excelsior is cleanned the side
lines will not run or work properly. This job is for the entire system. The pipe we have
cleaned before give us a good back-ground as to what to look for."
Mr. Stroj�n: We have about 35 miles or 130,000 feet of sewer about which half of it in
need of cleaning.
Mr. Gor�'stien: "The new lines don't need cleaning. I think John that when this years
cleaning is finished more than half of the lines will have been cleaned. That is if you
go ahead and do the planned work all the lines will haBe been cleaned, every ma.nhole will
have been raised and flushed and cleaned. I have said to both Johns that even towns that
have their own merchinery still have some work done by us. It take so long to train a
man to do this type of work. We have a winter time crew for you to always call upon.
As for purchasing equipment, when you a�e through the work is done for a long time.
The equipment just sets and when you are ready to use it again you have to re-train youe
men. We prepare a report and give you the details of all the conditions we find. After
we once go through this work, I want to clear up this one point, a gage is not neccessary
a good indication that the work is done propertly, the reason is because of the variety
of types of problems you find in the various pipes."
Mr. Hanley: "A demonstration on Excelsior Avenue would you give the rest to us for 43�?"
Mr. Goldstien: "Just �ecause the water flows doesn't mean it is a good job."
Mayor Milbert: "This right of T.V. is an additiona.l $300.00 per da.y?"
Mr. Goldstien: "That is right. It seems strange to me that if this was such a simple job
why didn't others bid on the job?"
Mr. Ha.rriman: "When is your slack season?"
Mr. Goldstien: "We don't always have one. We are opening offices in the South so that we
can get around off seasons."
"We put a bucket through a place in front of your shoe store, It is not simple, you buy
your own equipment and where do you get your help. Just who goes down the manholes? Even
L.A. can't do all of their own cleaning and let contracts for it." "These are things you
should investigate yourselves."
"Your 8' lines were figured at 25.8� and your 121°, 16" and 18" lines on Excelsior were
figured at 63.5� which averaged out to 43�.
"Now the question is,do you have the personel except on initial jobs? Whea.e jobs have never
been done before. We have 100 pieces of equipment that comes into town when you let a
-17-
contract with us." "When you let a bid and have awarded it you know the cost, you buy a
job and you have your costs and the ma.cherinery to do the job no matter what turns up .
You buy a job and then you are all set; you buy equipment and after the work is over it
just sets."
Mr. Harrima.n::"�ave you done work for any of the towns around here;"
Mr. Goldstein: "Yes, for Fridley, Brooklyn Center, and Excelsior, St. Louis Park have
equipment and a full time ma.intina.nce crew,and still they are going to consider our doing
some cleaning for them."
Mr. Harrima.n: "Di�k do you make any reco�nendation at this time?"
Mr. Brubacher: "I reco�nend we award the bid on the baises of 43�"
Mr. Goldstien: "Really this job is lower than it was the time before last."
Mr. Brubacher: "All the work to be done at 43�, I looked more at the 43� than at the
total cost.and didn't weight it as far as total cost were conserned."
Mr. Goldstien: "If it will ma.ke you feel better I will put the bid down at 25.8� on 8"
and 63.5 on Excelsior, but.no one knows how ma.ny days it will take on Excelsior Avenue."
Mr. Hanley:. "You are..running from 25� on 8" and 63� on all but 12" & 15".
Ma.yor Milbert: "Why didn`t you bid by the diameter?"
Mr. Goldstien: "It doesn't mean much. Only one load with sand in your 12", 15" and 18"
and sometimes you have to go through the same lines ma.ny times."" You have to rely on a
certain number of professiona.l men. Your are forgetting this fina.�, report also, it will
tell you just how to plan your furture wo�k, it will give you a list of when you discuss
what you want done when you want pictures if you want pictures etc."
Mr. Brubacher: "I really feel this, prob��ly we would have the equipment le�t we we got
the job c}one except I don't think we could do as good a job as they can. Proba�ly a little
cheaper but the work wont be as good. They have convinced me that there are somethings .
you can do with out the right type of labor.
Mr. Goldstien: Labor is the only cost that can really be figured."
Mr. Hanley: "$9,OU0 for equipment Dick, what about the present equipment that we have,
can't it be used?
Mr. Brubacher: "No, you have to have special equipment, buckets and rodders etc."
Mr. Goldstien: "The equipment you have is good for maintena.nce."
Mr. Brubacher: "I am throughly confused."
Mr. Goldstien: "I don't want to take up of your time. But as I told you how our figure
was arrived at, we had four different men check you ma.nholes before we bid," "We did some
work in Bloomington if you would want to check with them."
Mr. Harriman: When did we deside to do this work?"
Mr. Brubacher: "It is a necessity, we have talked about it since 1959. We have to do
it, there is no question about that the work has to be done, it is the old part of the
system that is partly storm sewer that has never been cleaned."
-18-
Mr. Else: "How often do we have to clean these sewers?"
Mr. Goldstien: "We have cleaned the large pipes as much as forty years ago and never
had to go back." "You have the equipment to take care of the 8" pipe when small jobs
come up."
Mayor Milbert: "When are 12", 15" and 18" pipes are cleaned we wont be around to worry
about having to do it the next time."
Mr. Goldstein: "Even Minneapolis, who has it's own sewer crew have us do work for them."
Mr. Brubacher: "I would like to hear. what John Strojan and John Breeka have to say
aboa���weither we buy our own equipment or hire this service done for us."
John Brecka.: "As far as the men who would have to do this work, they would have to be
additiona.l man-power, my men have enough to do as it is." "It would take quite a while
train them, and what with the present load of the iron removal plant and the chlorina.tion
John Strojan:
plant my present men are pretty much stacked up with work."/ "Another way to look at it
is the hazards involved." "The operation of this type of equipment is no picnic, who is
going to go into these ma.nholes?" "We subject ourselves to a liability as far as our rmen..
go�-.as well as the hazard of the equipment while it is out in the streets. It involves
Brecka. and myself to line up the work and keep tract of it. If Brecka is doing the work
he has to keep an eye on it and the mendoing the work until the job is done; the costs
are there anyway you look at it."
Mr. Hanley: "What about the matter of time to do or take to do the work?"
Mr. Strojan: "That's another factor, These people are in and in sixty days the job is
done, maybe a little longer, we would take probably six month or so and then the equipment
just sets; you have to keep at it in one way or another o� it will not be in shape to
work with when we need it again; costs would be difficult to figure here again, if we
send out a crew and it takes them two weeks to do 100 feet that's all they do, if we give
the job to these people they do the work and our worry of cost is a set item."
Mayor Milbert: "Brecka.?"
Mr. Brecka.: "You can't take a couple men off the street and have a sewer man." "You can't
find anyone to do this kind of work."
Ma.yor Milbert: "How about the merchinery costs?"
Mr. Brecka: "As for the bucket merchine, it's ithe same old problem thats been going on
for nine years; it is a hidden factor." "I have been in all of our sewers, you saw it
on lOth, If we bucketed ma.in street it would fill City Hall.
Mr. Harrima.n: "It would be a good use for.it."
Mr. Brecka.: "It wont do any good to do ma.in street if you don't do the side streets also."
"This problem we had in front of Nelson's, we could have done something but as it was we
had a trouble in February and it was just luck that we got off like we did."
Mr. Hanley: "We all agree it has to be done, but if the City were to do it it wouldn't
get done as fast."
-19-
Mr, Brecka.: "We would not get it done as fast, I have been doing sewer work for a long time
but I would be sort of afraid of bucketing. I can't do the work with the crew I have. It
will take a full time crew, you can't use part time help for this type of work, then they
would have to join the union and all of the rest of it."
Mr. Harrima.n: "Can you give us any report on actural costs?"
Mr. Brecka.: "I talked to Edina. they gave me a figure of 11� for the cleaning,that was for
just the cleaning but they wont give you the cost of the up-keep of the equipment or the
equipment break-down, I think they are afraid to do so because if the City Fathers found out
what it was really costing they would put a stop to the work."
Mayor Milbert: "John, if this bid was let will it serve or solve our problems?"
Mr. Brecka.: "Ye�,for twenty-five years, all but root problems."
Mayor Milbert: "That's a continuous problem as far as sewers go, there is always a root
problem.
Mr. Brubacher to Mr. Brecka; "You don't feel that we will ever need a bucket machine?"
Mr. Brecka; "No, I don't."
Mr. Brubacher: "I feel we will need bucket ma.chine for we are going to have to clean storm
sewers."
Mr. Hanley: "I don't like the ideal of letting bids, then we get the bids and because we
get only one bid we think about letting bids again. The fellow who bid the first time is
dead."
Mr. Brubacher: "I feel the problem is not about letting bids again but it is do we want a
contractor to do the work at all or do we want to do the work ourselves. I lean towards
our doing it ourselves."
Mr. Ha.nley: "
Mr. Brubacher: "It would have to be done by letting the work out."
Mr. Hanley: "If we didn't get it done in time and had to go out in hurry whatever we sas�ed
would be shot."
Mr. Brubacher: "Can't help but agree."
Mr. Ha.nley: "The $9,000.00 investment is almost a one shot proportion."
Mayor Milbert: "If we go into it ourselves we would start with the 8" pipe then work our
way to Excelsior; this would take a good six months. If we let the contract it would be
i done in six days."
� Mr. Goldstien: There are at least five places on Excelsior ave.that couid go anytime, then
f
�
we could be called out again at 27° below ."
Mr. Else: "Were are the funds coming from Dick, our sewer budget?"
` Mayor Milbert: "This is a fund set up just for this purpose."
Mr. Haneyc "I don't think we want to do the work ourselves."
Mr. Brubacher: "As far as their bids go I haven't any sympathy for them, they knew when the
bids were closed".
-20-
Mr. Hanley: "I still think it is a hell of a note to open a bid and then when we have only
one bid, we go ahead and open it and then try to beat them do�ri, "Didn't anyone else know�
why we didn't get anymore bi`ds?" "We get one bid and then we try to beat it down." "Does
� anyone know about -it?': "What about DOS?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Its really up to the Council to ma.ke up our minds as to weither we are
going to do the work ourselves or let the contract, if we are going to do the work by
contract, then we should go ahead and award the bid."
Mr. Harrima.n: "We don't know if they do good work." �
Mx. Brubacher: "We have had them before and used them on Excelsior avenue when ever we
have had to have help, then we always can check on them with their T.V., Yes, I think they
do good work, that is not the question."
Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Else seconded the motion to award the bid to the American Pipe
Cleaning Co. for the cleaning of specific sewer lines as spelled out in the bid specifications
for the total of $13,932.00. The motion carried.
Mr. Goldstein thank the City Council and left.
Mr. Titmnerma.n representsing the Chamber of Commerce ask to be heard in regards to the up-
coming Carn�val.
Mr. Timmerman: "We haven't be able to talk to the representitive of the Carnfval as yet
but we are thinking that as long as we.,can't have Excelsior Avenue we would like to know
how the Council feels about puting it on lOth Avenue South and down around behind the bank?"
Ma.yor Milbert: "You mean as an alterative to Excelsior Avenue?"
Mr. Timmerman: "Yes, we would take Excelsior Avenue if we could have it but we understand
that �e<�can't have Excelsior."
Ma.yor Milbert: "That would be lOth Avenue South from Excelsior Avenue and the parking lot?"
Mr. Timmerman: "That ma.y not be enough room, but the main problem is that I have not been
albe to reach the Carnival man to give me the measurements so that we can be sure of just
how much room we need."
Mr�� Brubracher: " We gave them 9th Avenue North and the parking lot."
Mr. Timmerma.n: "I gave up 9th after talking to some of the business men."
Mayor Milbert: "Do you know of anyone who might object?"
Mr. Ti�nerman: "There will be objections wherever you put itup. They all want it but not
in front of them."
Mayor Milbert: "Have you consider using lOth Avenue North.?"
Mr. Timmerma.n: "The only objection to lOth Avenue North is that that parking lot is full
of cars all of the time, it seems to be used more."
Mr. Vesely: "Have you tired to park on lOth Avenue South7"
Mayor Milbert: "It does tie in with Raspberry week but as you read in Mr. Heiland letter
that the Carnival it wi11 be moved out before any of the parades etc take place."
Mr. Timmerman: "We have been expecting the Carnival ma.n here but he didn't keep the appoint
-21-
ment, so we have not be able to see just how much room we have to have." .-
Mr. Hanley: "It is unfortunate the fellow didn't look athe various places when he was
here."
Mr. Timmerman: He did when he was here previously, but he didn't want to use any place
other than Excelsior Avenue."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Can you use both North and South lOth Avenue?"
Mr. Ti�nerma.n: "He says his insurance doesn't cover him if he can't have the intersection."
Mr. Ti�nerman: "He doesn't give us any time to see what he can use and then come back
and get a clearance from the Council. Another thing, ma.y they use the olct fair grounds
property to park their trail�rs and trucks on?"
Mayor Milbert: "Yes, they can use the fair grounds property for their parking, we can
agree to that right now."
Mr. Brubacher: "We gave him 9th Avenue and the parking lots. We did this because we
felt their wouldn't be so many people disturbed. Therz are no residence on 9th."
Mr. Ha.nley: "Idon't know the answer."
Mr. Ti�nerma.n: "Just give us a location and we will work out something."
Ma.yor Milbert: "As Dick says, on 9th'Avenue North there are no residence; lOth Avenue
is all right but we do have residence along lOth and on both sides of the parking lot."
Mr. Else: "There will be more damage done in the retail area than in the residencial
area, but it is the retailors that want the carnival."
Mr. Brubacher: "We have private lots on lOth Avenue and 9th Avenue North and that is
where we get into trouble. Hovanders and the bank each own their own lots."
Mr. Ti�nerman: "Yes, and on 9th, Mr. Hovanader says that he is going to bring in his own
ride, and that would take up his space; I talked to the bank and they wer� not in favor
of it."
Mr. Vesely: "That goes to prove that the Carnival:.sllouldn't be at all."
Mr. Timmermen: "That might be so, however the retail merchants have voted to have it and
now what do we do with it?"
Mr. Brubacher: "If you are inclined to give them space I would say give them 9th or lOth
North or South."
Ma.yor Milbert: "What about the side door of the bank?"
Mr. Timmerman: "It will close off the side door of the bank all right."
Mr. Else: "Will you leave the alley open?"
Mr. Ha.nley: "No, that would cut off all insurance, I guess."
Mayor Milbert: (looking at Mr. Timmerma.n) "I am thinking just as hard as you are."
Mr. Else: "Are we going to have a carnival for the Fair?"
Ma.yor Milbert: "Yes, we are just one week later."
Ma.yor Milbert: "It is unfortunate that Mr. Hovander wants the Carnival but not on his
property."
-22-
Mr. Ti�nerman: "Just give me any place."
Mr. Hanley: "If the owner of the Carnival is not coming into town where do we go from
there until he comes in and we can work someth�ng." "Dick, as you suggested lOth Avenue
North, ma.ybe it would be a good place, as good as any, that is."
Mayor Milbert: "This is such a big carnival it is unfortuna.te that we can't put it on
the old Fair Grounds property."
Mr. Timmerma.n: "I agree, but they wont come in and have that place, and the retailers
want it to be dosntown to draw the people."
Mr. Hanley: "lOth Avenue North then and then look at 9th Avenue and see which will be
better."
Ma.yor Milbert: "If Mr. Howell isn't going to start his building you ma.y be able to use
his space.
Mr. Timmerman: "Mr. Howell told me today that he was going to start his basement this
coming week."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Lets authorize Mr. Brubacher to allow the carnival to be set up on either
9th or lOth Avenues North or South and leave it open like that."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Anything else before we take up the Insurance bids."
Mayor Milbert: "Oh yes, 1-A of the Zoning and Planning Commission; The Zoning and Planning
Co�nission reco�nend approval of the application to construct a proposed addition to house
in certain Double-Residence District with a variance of side yard requirements form 8 feet
to 4 feet; viz: Lot 9, Block 15, West Minneapolis 3rd Division; or 20 - 18th Avenue North;
application ma.de by Mr. Russell Sorensen.
Ma.yor Milbert explained that Mr. Sorensen wanted to expand his house towards the back
of his lot, but because his lot was not quite squa.re he would not be quite as far from
the line on the North as he was at the front of his house. Therefore he needed to have
the variance of one foot (a 50' lot needing only 10% variance). The neighbor on the North
had supplied Mr. Sorensen with a letter stating that he had no objections to his building
his addition.
Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Else seconded the motion that the variance be granted and that
the recommenda�ion of the Zoning and Planning Commission to ap�rove the request of Mr. Russell
Sorensen to construct a proposed addition to house in certain Double-Residence District with
a variance of side yard requirements from eight (8) �eet to four �(4) feet; viz: Lot 9,
Block 15, West Minneapolis 3rd Division or 20 - 18th Avenue North be approved. The motion
carried.
Mayor Milbert: "1-F. Tabulation of bids for furnishing the City of Hopkins �mn.ioyees
with Medical and Hospitalization Insurance for the year 1962-63."
we
Mr. Brubacher: "This is one which/havn`t anything here on this evening. Our Employees
Committee have suggested we changes The police department do not want us to change, that
-23-
is all but two or three of them don't want to change. What we want to know now is does
the Council want to have a part in arriving at the final awarding of the bid?"
Ma.yor Milbert: "The police have the same policy now, it is the Blue Cross and Blue Shie�d.
They feel that some of them will loose out if the change."
Mr. Brubacher: The Blue Cross and Blue Shield have superior clauses than what we requested
in our specs."
Mr. Hanley: "Did you put in the same requirements or did you put in additiona.l requirements?"
Msyor Milbert: "Did they bid their same package?"
Mr. Brubacher: "No."
Mr. Nielsen: "They offered so alteratives, such as the Major Medical."
Mayor Milbert: "Is this typal of Insurance Companies that they have new policy coverage,
I guess they do it to cover up their increased costs." "Will they.cover all of the
employees?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, if we go to Ma.jor Medical, they will ��aive any previous problems."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Is this the family type or?"
Mr. Nielsen: "You can have either."
Mayor Milbert: "But if you have another policy besides their policy they wont double up
on your payments?"
Mayor Milbert: "We have one ma.n who is off right �.ow and will they pick him up?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Blue Cross doesn't have him now, but they will pick up any members of his�
family." "For all policies by August he must be working and no member can be in the
hospitalwithin three month, and employees will be covered when they start or when they
can come back to work.
Mr. Ha.nley: "You can't fit the policy to last, if you change companies you are going to
have the same problems:��
Mr. Ha.nley:. "Dick, this thing about the police wanting the same company they have now;
what seems to be their differences?"
Mr. Brubacher: "They say, why drop some on Ma.jor Medical, the rest.say we should gamble
a little bite.
Mr. Neilsen: "We are going to come up with a family plan." Blue�;-Cross is now costing
us $21.20, with ma.jor medical it will be $27.80 and next year because of our last two
years of experence it will increase 14'/, and will be $29.80." "They take two years axperience
and the City of Hopkins had a very bad experience rate, we are now on a 57� and next year
it will be 129'/o and our cost is bound to raise by at least 20'/0."
Mr. Hanley: '.'. A11 of these bids are for one year and you might as well get use to it, every
year.. it will go up, something brings about an increase."
Mx. Nielsen: North American has the lowest bid, on checking around we found that
Robbinsdale or Golden Valley have their plan and are quite happy with it, This year they
got a 5'/o decrease.
-24-
Mr. Harriman: "Refer:.to Mr. Hanley as Employees representative."
Mr. Nielsen: We have good specs and I think they are what we should go on. I Can't
believe that we are getting less, but are getting something else. We went to Travelers,
We got only$200.f1at. They weren't happy about with that (they means the police dept.)
("The $200.00 is for ma.ternity cases)."Nothing means anything to them but the P.G. clause."
Mr. Brubacher: "The majority of the committee want to change companies." "They would like
to gamble a little and put the rest of the money in their pockets." "The plan they favor
keeps the same coverage somewhat, a straight $25.00 per day for room and costs $21.27 which
includes a$1,000.00 life insurance polic�::as well."
Mr. Harrima.n: "Our $7.50 difference will be put in to their pockets wzth this plan."
Mr. Hanley: "The police think that they want the same coverage now and to use the $7.50 to
give added coverage, is that right?"
Mr. Harrima.n: "In my thinking in one way it is a raise and in the other it gives them
more insurance coverage."
Mr. Nielsen: "Isn:'.t it true that you can reach a point of having to much insurance, you
reach a point of no return."
Mr. Hanley: "The employee is paying less for his insurance." "The only thing you will
have to have the meeting is the medical." "There is nothing worse than an employee who
is caught without insurance, Dick you know what a condition you would have been in if
we hadn't had insurance on you last year."
Mr. Neilsen: "It is not a wuestion of un�er-insuranced but as far as the police go it is
Blue Cross and Blue Shield."
"In this other insurance you are not completly without coverage as far as Ma�or Medical
is concerned it picks up at 80'/0 , you never loose out, and it is 100'/, deductable."
Mr. Else: "What do you want from us?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Do you want to select the plan itself?"
Mayor Milbert: "The employees should select their own plan."
Mr. Ha.nley: "The employees should select their own plan, we are not interested in how they
spend this $7.50 anymore than we are or have a say as to how they spend the rest of their
money."
Mr. E1se."Your Majoy medical is really nothing, his wife had six operation in a row."
Mr. Ha.nley: "We changed because of the Major Medical, because of allerg�_es etc."
Mr. Neilsen: "This could be because we went out for bids on two plans." "When we set down
to really study it out it was not possible to increase some one thing over another."
Mr. Neilsen: "I feel we should have one of the men from the Council at the meeting."
Mr. Ha.rrima.n: "Mr. Hanley should represent the Council as the Employee representitive." '
Mayor Milbert: "Anyone anything else?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, we had tpo more bid openings."

Mr. Brubacher: "I attached a le�ter on the League of Hennepin County Municipalities hav-
ffin.g hired an exec. Secretary. I don't know if this is something we should join with, it
could be a good thing or it could fall on it's nose. We should be active in Legislature.
We should have someone to represent us."
Ma.yor Milbert: "What are the rates or costs is it by population or size of the communities
or what?"
ldr, Brubacher: "We are in the sma.11 size and it really costs us more than the cities of
larger populations than ours; as i point out in my letter everyone of the communities
have joined but Minneapolis and Hopkins. They are having so much trouble with Minneapolis
that it looks like they are going to kick them out."
Mr. Hanley: "I think it is a good thing."
Mr. Brubacher: "I think government should stay small."
Mr. Harriman: "Have you heard anything about how this type of thing is going in Seattle?"
Mr. Brubacher: "No."

Mr. Harriman: "If ;you recommend it let's take it up."
Mr. Brubacher: "Dick is using her a great deal more than Larry ever did, He is assigning
her work and she is taking over very well."
Ma.yor Milbert: "You held off at the first of the year, you stated that at that time you
felt we should wait, you don't feel that way now?"
Mr. Harrima.n: "Is this salary with the raise comparable, not highe or low.'?
Mayor Milbert: "It is comparable on the low side:"
Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Else seconded the motion that at the recommendation of the

�
Recreation Commission and the City Ma.nager, Mr. Brubacher, the salary for the Assistant
Director of Recreation and Parks be increased $25.00 per month beginning July 1, 1962. The
motion carried.
Mr. Brubacher: "The Board of Equaliz��ation by state statute we should meet."
Mr. Harrima.n: "Could we do anything if we dic�?"
Mr. Brubacher: "You are going to have the big three, and �totec. We will have something
in the ma.il so you will have some back ground before the meeting. As a whole they are all
reporting about the same."
Mr. Hanly: "Did any of them tell you they would be in?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Don't think we will have much trouble, as no one has been in. Don't
think Motec will give us much of an augment from them. They increased their�� in inventory
quite a bite. We could have had it tonight but I din't think we all of the other things
we would have time, it will take about two hours.
It was agreed that the Board of Equalization meeting would adjou�.ned and re-conviene again
on Thursday July 12, at 7;C1b p.m. in the council chambers,.,with the County Assessor being
notified and therefore present.
Mr. Brubacher ask what the Council wished to do concerning consultants and architects.
Mr. Else: "I don't feel iike to much energy should be wasted until the results of
the library consu�.�ants have reported what they think about the library."
Mr. Ha.nley: "We could get started if we can get the library constulants going."
Mr. Else: "Did you get any resu�,ts from the traffic group as yet?"
Mr. Brubacher: "I Have other meeting set up."
Mr. Harrimand: "Do you think it is goind to do any good?"
Mr. Ha.nley: "I would recommend Barton based on everything."
Mr. Else: "We will be comparing eggs to eggs."
Mr. Brubacker: "They are a11 going to work on a same cost basis."
Mr. Harriman: "You thing that Barton is going to be as low as the low group. Then there
isn't any question."
Mr. Ha.nley: "They might be even less considering the results."
Mr. Brubacher: "I can't be sure because I havn't interviewed them as yet. I have the two
locals to talk with as yet, but I don't think they will come up with anything. The States
says it will except one of the locals."
Mz. Harrima.n: "Barton is someone the State and County would listen�. to."
Mr. I�anley: "Which is more important to us, the County?"
Mr. Brubacher: County Engineer Mr. Peterson said that if the consultant come up with

Mr. Hanley: "It isn't that he is here to tell us any thing though he might tell us things
that might help us."
Mr. Brubacher: (to one of the men) You are foolish if you don't take them to court I hear
that there are 75 cases on Nicollet avenue alone."
Mr. Else: "We cut our personal tax 75'/0. It is 75% of book value."
Mr. Brubacher: "You are talking about office equipment."
Mr. Hanley: "You can't really get your inverttories down."
Mr. Burbacher: (again to one of the councilmen) "By law the County Assessor is suppose
to be present when we have our meeting."
We broke up into small groups and continued visiting as they left the room.

Mr. Ha.nley: "Are these the latest figures?"
Mr. Nielsen: "They are the same as we have had."
Mr. Hanley: I assumed there would be some changes as he (meaning Mr. Nielsen) was going
out to see if he could do any better."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Why do you come in with the seventh high recommendation?"
at $20.18
Mr. Nielsenr. "The lowest was Republic National Life;/they did not meet specifications.
All other hospital fees are limited to $400.00, it should be $500.00; the $100.00 corridor
is per disability, it should be per calendar year. and you had to take a$3,000 iife
insurance policy. They did not submit a master policy.
2nd, low bidder was North American Life & Casua.lty Co. at $21.27 monthly premium including
$1,000.00 life insurance;:�They meet the specs but for each confinement the�e must be an
lapse of a two weeks period of active work unless unrelated, before the benefits start
over again.
Mayor Milbert: "As you know, Mr. Nielsen, we have to have reasons for ec$pting the 7th
lowest bid"
Mr. Nielsen: " 3rd lowest bidder at $21.95 per month was_Group Health Mutua.l, Inc. This
Company did not suhmit any Ma.ster Policy and consequently I have not been able to look
into its requierements or provisions.
��
4th lowest bidder at $22.08 including $1,000 life insurance was GREAT-WEST LIFE INS.
This company did not comply in full to the specifications due to a misinterpretation of
the specifications ma.terna.l benefits. The Company interpreted the materna.l benefits to be
a total of $300.00, however, it should be $300.00 plus obstetrical scale. To correct this an
increase of 75 cents was necessary.
The obstetrical fee scale is about 10'/o higher than that of North American Life and Casualty
Co., In order to decrease that fee scale to the same amount it would cause a decrease of
13 cents.
This Company did not show the cost of life insurance-under alternate No. 2, however such
However such cost.would be 65 cents per $1,000 life.insnrance.
This total premium including $1,000 life insurance would then be $22.08 monthly for the
family plan. The Major Medical was a 30 day period from last treatment. Did not meet specs.
5th lowest bidder at $22.18 including $1,000 life insurace was N. W. National Life Insurance
Company; meet the specs but the provisions were as follows:
Hospital charges: Employee, treatment received during successive periods of hospital confine-
ment will be considered as.having�been received during one confinement unless the employee
betweenthe two periods of confirnement or unless unrelated.� For ma.jor medical 31 days
must elaspse from last treatment.
6th Lowest Bidder at $23.18 including $1,000 life insurance;is 6JESTERN LIFE INSURANCE C0.
They did not meet the specs.
7th Lowest Bidder at $23.48 including $1,000 life insurance of NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE C0.
Hopital charges back to'work 1 day and Major Medical 3 months prior care benefit limited
to $750.00 less basic�benefit.
Mr. Ne�lsen went.on to say that the Employee's Co�nittee mee� with the various salesmenand
decided on New York Life.
Mr. Else: "Do you think they really understood that they were paying $1.30 more for very
li�tle more cover�ge?"
Mr. Neilsen: "Yes, I do, lst. North American Life & Casua.lty Co. says that you must be
back two weeks before you can start to draw again. 2nd. New York Life, you need be back
only one day. 3rd. No': He was interrupted.by Mr. Dunlap.
Mr. Dunlap of N. W. Nat'1. This coverage was not a part of the specs. To begin with
New York Life did not meet the specs and has ma.deseveral changes to do so.
changes he mentions they now meet the spec."
With the
Mr. Harrima.n: "Would you explain North American Life & Casua.lty and is there a two week
period beck to work period before one can start to draw insurance again?"
Mr. Dunlap: "You should point out that after 120 days you will have to be at 100�/,.
Someone: Group Health Mutua.l, Inc, submitted to you an agreement to meet the specs you sent
out. They also called you.
Mr. Neilsen: There was never a policy submitted by them."

Mr. Else: "If the individua.ls know that New York Life Insurance Co. is higher than than
Northwest National Life Insurance, do you think they would still want New York Life."
Mr. Nielsen: "The commit�ee all know about the differences."
Mr. Nielsen: Northwest National �=fe doesn't have any nursery charges for the first
seven days".
Mr. Brubacher: "That is an extra."
Mr. Nielsen: "Read from the specs that nursery care must start from the da.y of birth:"
"I know the committee was very much concerned, one of the employees' wife the last time
she had a child the baby was in the hospital.for three months."
Mr. Else: "The Employees are really paying the extra money." "It is coming out of their
pockets?"
Mr. Brubacher: "There is a strong e�lement that want to keep Blue Cross and Blue Shield."
Ma.yor Milbert: "The co�nittee comes in with these recommendations
Mr. Dunlap: (broke into Mayor Milberts remarks�aithZ Both of the companies have the
same coverage for infants."
Mr. Brubacher: "The thing t��t bothers me, is that no one company really meets these
plans."
Mr. Hanley: "That is what I Though."
Mr. Neilsen: "The committee would not ma.kea recommendation that would not take everyone
into or. under the plan."
Mr. Brubacher: "Your are talking about a different thingthan we are." Like ma.jor medical,
Northwestern will pick up diabetes persons."
Mr. Dunlap: "We do not have any exclude anyone."
Mr. Brubacher to Mr. Nielsen: "Is the committee aware of this?"
Mr. Harrima.n: "We have to ma�e the award, what are the conditions?"
Mr. Ha.nley: "We have to make the award, we give them $7.50 and they ma.ke up the difference."
Ma.yor Milbert: "The co�ittee recommend New York Life?"
Mr. Else: "Was it unanimous?"
Mr. Harrima.n: "Were the Police in favor of New York Life?"
Mr. Nielsen: "Yes, they were the ones that recommended New York Life."
Mr. Hanley: "Were they aware of the difference in the cost?"
Mr. Dunlap: "Would you know why they would take a coverage that is not as good coverage?"
Mr. Dunlap: "They were never ask:" ( meaning NW was never ask for the cost of the same
coverage for infants).
Mr. Nielsen: "That is right, we could not ask NW what they would want for this coverage."
Mr. Else: "I can't see them paying $1.30 more for the same thing."
Mr. Hanley: "That would or is about $80.00 a year more for the same thing."
One of the insurance representitives explains why the difference in cost.
Mr. Nielsen: "" hope the council will ma.de the award this evening based on the reco�nendation�
of the Co�nittee."

Mr. Else: �You feel the committee were aware that of the difference in costs and would
they have been willing to pay the $1.30 more a month?"
Mr. Pokorny: "How.did they•vote?"
Mr. Nielsen: "Yes they were aware of the difference in costs and coverage, Cal Johnson
made the motion, I can't say who made the second."
Mr. Harrima.n: "Is this a one year contract?"
Mr. Nielsen: "Yes, for one year."
Mayor Milbert: "Dick, do you feel that you had a good committee?"
Mr. Brubacher: "As good a Committee as I could get." "I didn't vote."
Mr. Pokorny: "Would Ed. Dktz be covered under this policy?"
Mr. Brubacher: "This is.the reason or the point the conanittee felt they were willing
to pay the $1.30 more because while he wont be covered his family will be."
Mr. Else: "That's a lot of money."
Mr. Hanley: "Did the Committee have all of the ma.terials?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, I think that they have had all of the materials."They can name the
people who are objecting and who want the various insurance coverages."
Mr. Dunlap: "If each of the Co�nittee members are given figures on these items I can't
see how they can vote as they have without help." "They should have the polices."
Ma.yor Milbert: "That should have been done before."
Mr. Nielsen: "That is a waste of time." "I have read all of the policies." " I have
talked to all of the salesmen."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Christen what is your opinion?"
Mr. Dunlap: "I feel that a letter should be given to all the employees so they can vote."
Mayor Milbert: "Did your salesmen men and did the committee ask questions?"
Someone: "Yes, we meet, we weren't ask to give any other ans�aers." (meaning the only
question that was ask was the one about infant�coverage and the coverage of Mr. Dktz).
Mr. Pokorny: "What do you think, Vincent?"
Mr. Else: "I was trying to approve the plan submitted." "I think the employees are going
to be surprised to find that they are paying $1.00 more for their insurance."
Mr. Brubacher: "I do think that it should go back to the Commit�ee for further study."
Mr. Else: "Why don't you do that and call us."
Mr. Else moved that the awarding of the insurance bid be returned to the committee for
further study and then the council be polled. Mr. Hanley seconded the vote. The motion
carried.
Mayor Milbert: "4-C Tabulation of bids for furnishing the City of Hopkins with various

Ma.yor Milbert: Mr, Harriman will you tell us what came out of that meeting?"
�
Mr. Harriman: "Mr. Wilson appearently didn't.know just how to write up the specifcations
to get the equipment that he wanted, I was some what concerned, but Mr. Wil"son is aware
of the problem now and it wont happen again." "We have re-checked the specs and we
now feel that �� will take the recommendation of the Parks and Recreations Commission
and will take their suggestion down the line."
Mr. Harriman moved that the recommendations presented by Hopkins Recreation and Park
Commission be approved and the various bids for the various items be awarded to the

curbs at Texas Avenue and East Lake Street."
Dear Mr. Strojan: RE: West Lake Street Paving between
;� Taft and Texas Avenue
Please find enclosed, our plans for paving on West Lake Street. We propose
to divert traffic north on Texas Avenue by means of curb and gutter construction
as shown. We intend to sod the area between the barrier curbs and plant
shrubbery.
As.you will note, the new curb and gutter on the northwest corner is in the
. City of Hopkins. We request permission to construct the curbs as shown. We
propose to provide a driveway opening for the.existing driveway on the south
side at Texas Avenue extended.. Besides landscaping, we propose to place a
bituminous ma.�:on the interse���ion to provide a completed surface after
complet3on>�oL`eui.b and gutter.
We would appreciate an early consideration of this proposal so that we can
get utilities relocated and proceed with construction.
R. 0. Folland
Director of Public Works
Mr. Brubacher: "Showing the Council members the letter and plans (map) of the proposed
, work, we can't really turn the City of St. Louis Park down I suppose."
Mr. Strojan: "Mr. Strojan explains just where the curbs etc are going to be put in and
how it will divert traffic north on Texas Avenue. He also explains the reason behind
the plans being the fact that the property owners were unhappy about all.of the through
traffic etc. They will install these curbs for the opening for the homes here, pointing
to the map. "
Mr. Pokorny: "These curbs are to discourage through traffic?"
Mr. Strojan: "Yes, they are." "They wont be able to get from here (pointing to map) onto
a public street, they can't get onto a public street from West Lake Street."
Mr.
Mr. Harriman: "Ever see this sort of thing before."
Mr. Hanley: "Yes, this is the same thing they did on Oak Park."
• Mr. Brubacher: "Just one year ago they ask for Weat Lake Street to be a through way, now
they want to close it off."
Mr. Harriman: "Will these curbs he is talking about be a tempary thing or what?"
Mr. Strojan: "No this.would be a permanent thing. Then we could block this off and
force them to use Monk Ave."
Mr. Brubacher: "The whole thing is, they have ask us, they could have just gone ahead
and made the installation and not bothered to even ask us about it.
Mr. Pokorny, Jr.: "They are sure suspicious over there."

The Honorable City Council
City of Hopkins, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
The Village of Edina. has requested permission to use the Hopkins
fire hydrants in case of a fire in the area i�nediately south of the
Hopkins-Edina boundary line. They have requested this as part.of the
Mutual Aid Agreement.
I have a letter from the Village Mana.ger in which he states:
Edina will accept a dedication of 20 feet for utility purposes on
Spruce Road, rather than 15 feet for utility purposes and five (5)
additiona.l feet for road purposes.
It is my recommendation that the Village of Edina. be granted the
use of our fire hydrants subject to the following conditions:
1. That the boundary between Hopkins and Edina. along Spruce
Road be established as per the above agreement.
2. That the Village of Edina. notify theHopkins Police Department
whenever they use one of our hydrants.
-14- �
3. That the Village of Edina be responsible for any dama.ges and
expenses incurred as a result of.Edina's using a hydrant.
4. Failure to comply with any of the above provisions is cause
for immediate cancellation of the agreement.
Respectfully reco�nended
R. L. Brubacher,
City Mana.ger;
Mr. Hanley "If we give them the same twenty feet again, I thought that was all set�led.
Mr. Po�horny: "They trade the sa�me twenty feet of ground each time they want something
:�rom us."
Mr. Hanley: "The last time we talked they were trading the same piece."
Mr. Vesely: �They Charge� us $637.00 for a sewer hookup that we couldn't use."
Mr. Strajan: "You mean a trunk sewer connection."
Mr. Vesely: "You remmber that we would pay if we ever used them?"
Mr. Brubacher: "They are so tangled up with their sewer system plans that they don't know
where they are. They have had two meeting and are having a third." "But I feel that we
just about have to go along with them on this because of the Mutual Aid Agreement." "But I
agree, we should get the deeds."
Mr. Hanley: "Thst is what we want, get those deeds and close that deal up."
Mr. Brubacher: "Again we just about have to go along with them because of the Mutual Aid
Agreement policy."
Mr. Vesely: "If they turn on the water who is going to pay for the water?"
Mr. Brubacher: "They have agreed to pay for all of the water that is used."
Mr. Vesely: "If they have a bad fire, who pays?, us?"
Ma.}ror Milbert: "They are a part of the Mutua.l Aid group. We would tap our own hydrants for
water."
Mr. Brubacher: "Edina would ag�,ee to a$5.00 fee for each hook-up."
Mr. Pohorny: "We are talking peanuts."
Mr. Vesely: "Well, we would never use it."
Mr. Brubacher: "Why don't I ask them about the cost of the water?"
Ma.yor Milbert: "Really it isn't that big a thing."
Mr. Brubacher: "Will you authorize me to go ahead and see what I can do."
Mr. Ha.nley: "Well, get that other thing straighten out and then go on with this one."
Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Pokorny, Jr. seconded the motion that at the recommendation of
the City Ma.nager, Mr. Brubach�r, the Village of Edina be granted the use of our fire hydrants
in case of fire in the immediate area South of the Hopkins-Edina. boundary line, as part of
the Mutua.l Aid Agreement providing; 1, that the boundary between Hopkins and Edina. along
Spruce Road be established as per the suggestion of the Village Mana.ger in which he states:
Edina will accept a dedication of 20 feet for utility purposes on Spruce Road, rather
than 15 feet for utility purposes and five additional feet for road purposes; 2. That the
Village of Edina. notify the Hopkins Police Department whenever they use one of our hydrants;
-15-
3. That the Village of Edina be respons.tible for any dama.ges and expenses incurred as a
result of Edina's using a hydrant; 4. Failure to comply with any of the above provisions is
cause for immediate cancellation of the agreement. �The motion carried.
Mr. Brubacher to Mr. Harriman: "Did you get the St. Joe Boy Scout thing settled?"
Mr. Ha.rriman: "Yes, I did."
Mr. Brubacher: Mr. Foley has called. The County Highway will put in a curb and she feels
we should put in a mat. I my mind i would recormnend that Mrs. Foley settle with the
County;"
Mr. Hanley: "If they would landscape their property the water would run down into Edina.�"
Mr. Brubacher: "If we put the ma.t in and we assess them, it is a bad situa.tion."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Suggest this to him; that if the County puts in the curb they will have to
put in the mat and that they will have to be assessed."
Mayor Milbert: "Anything else, Dick?"
Mr. Brubacher: "The last agenda had a report on the Pines trailer park." "I think we should
should bring it into the City." "I think Minnetonka will let it go."
Mayor Milbert: "I think we should go to Minnetonka. and talk rather than to the Trailor
Park owner."
Ma.yor Milbert: "I don't think we should go to her as she will have all sort of conditions
to consider."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Just why should we talk at this time, because of sanitary conditions?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, we have sewage running down Shady Oak Road."
Mr. Vesely: "How are you going to do that, Better have the Engineer look into it first."
Mr. Pohorny: "The car wash is not living up to their provisions either."
Mr. Ha.rrima.n: "They are not?"
Mr. Vesely: "Have they crossed that limit?; that is why we set the pumping hour at 2�.00 a.m.
Mr. Pokorny: "Yes, but the3r are not always pumping at night."
Mr. Brubacher: "As long as the Park pumping station can handle it lets let it go, it
doesn't ma.tter.
Mr. Pohorny: "I think that if you want to let a trailer park into town we should go to
the State and get their suggested lay outs."
Mr. Brubacher: "Do you suggest that we should talk to Minnetonka about it?"
Mr. Pokorny: "How about the ordiance, wouldn't we be in trouble ordiance wise, Mr. Vesely?"
Mr. Vesely: "The way it is now, yes."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Dick why don't you and I go over and talk to them?"
Mayor Milbert: Anything else?"
Mr. Brubacher: "The only other thing would be the architects ."
Mayor Milbert: "I feel that we should move if we are going to to move on this at all, if
we hired an architect tonight we could get the ball rolling."
-16-
�-:
Mr. Else: "Is it possible we would end up with two buildings?"
Mr. Pokorny: "At this point it wouldn`t ma.ke any difference."
Mr. Pokorny: "Fr�i�kly, anyone we hire you will get abou.th':the same job." "I would like to
see A1 get it."
Mr. Else: "He is holding up the price to much."
Mr. Pokorny: "Then I would narrow it dow�"
Mayor Milbert: "Let's move on this and bet the ball going. We have so ma.ny things hanging
fire. We should set the example."
Mr. Harriman: "These fellows I talked to say if the Setter firm quote 6`/0, you pick your
boy and you will get it at 6'/,."
Mr. Harrima.n: "I still think you should still move to have the building before going
ahead with the hiring of an architect."
Mr. Hanley: "Mr. Wegleitner are school house specialist, I wonder if he has had enough
experence to do a civic building?"
Mr. Brubacher: Thorson and Thorshov have built the Coon Rapids building." Lang, Raugland
and Brunet did the Edina. one."
Mr. Ha.rrima.n: Lang & Raugland are fine if you can get the designer we want." I understand
he is gone about three weeks out of four." "He is just not available all of the time."
Mr. Ha.nley: "I think that is the exception, that is why if we were going to use them
he should be the one that has to de the designing."
Mr. Pokorny: "You don't get specific with an architect."
Mr. Hanley: "He would still have to be the designer."
Mr. Else: "They said he would be ours."
Mr. Harrima.n: Setter said it would take a year to come up with any plans." "I am impressed
with Baker and Lange."
Mr. Hanley: "Is it your idea we should eliminate to three or four firms?"
Mr. Harrima.n: "I think we should." "We should go one way or another."
Mr. Harrima.n: There are seven?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Eight, and Rapson ma.kes nine."
Mr. Harrima.n: "We don't have any "way out" ones."
Mr. Else: "We would bid and say that they will work for from 6'/, to the 7% some of them say
as a maximum".
Mr. Pokorny: "What do you mean by ma.ximum?"
Mr. Else: "They will work at 6% of the total cost."
Mr. Hanley: "Shall or should we rule out anyone who say they have to have 7 z/,?"
Mr. Pokorny: "That is a fine place to start."
Mr. Brubacher: "The easiest way to eliminate is the one that is "
Mr. Hanley: "I don't remember.now just what they wanted."

Mr. Else: "If they are going to build a$200,000.00 building they want 7'/0, if it is a
$800,000.00 building then they drop to 6'/0."
Mr. Pokorny: "Is there any difference when they build on bid or when they build for
Industry?"
Mr. Else: "We were trying to get something better than that."
Mr. Harriman: "Everyone has some one he likes, lets get a few and be done with it."
Mr. Pokorny: "The fact that Brandstrom is sma.11er and Setter the larger.
Mayor Milbert: "Alright, lets drop Brandstrom and Setter."
Mr. Brubacher: "That is not a really practical way of doing it."
Mr. Else "A little bite
From then on the talk went on at such a pace that it was impossible to keep up. They talked
between themselves etc. When I got back to knowing andhearing the following motion was made.
Mr. Else moved and Mr. Ha.nley seconded the motion tha Lang, Raugland and Brunet be retained
as archtiects for the City of Hopkins' new Civic Center and that Mr. Vesely, the City
Attorney, be authorized to draw up a contract between Lang, Ra.ugland and Brunet and the City.
Mr. Harriman and Mr. Pokorn�;, Jr. voted No. Then Ma.yor Milbert voted yes. The motion . si
carried.
Mr. Milbert: "Dick do you ha-�e anythino else?"
Mr. Vesely you draw up a contract first.
Mr. E1se: "If it goes to vote that must be taken into consideration also."
Mr. Vesely: "You will have to agxee �_o pay something if you are going to get them to sign
this time."
Mr. Pokorny: "I still think you are ma.king a mistahe by hiring an out of town architect."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Dick, anything else?"
Mr. Brubacher: "A couple of things. First the garbage problem."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Yes, I can see we a�e getting pretty filled up."
Mr. Brubacher: "I looked at some property in Eden Prairie and some in Hopkins." "Then
St. Louis Park is goint to reduce their rates a minimumof 40%. We could go�:. on a cost
rate for a while with them."
Mayor Milbert: "Bring in the figure on land on the Eden Prairie and the South Aopkins piece .
The Eden Prai:rie land joines the industrial area. The Hopkins area is in the residencial.
"Do you think there is any sence in have a special burner?"
Mr. Brubacher: "The next meeting will be three weeks from tonight, there will be another
big agenda, do you think we should have a meeting before that time?"
Mr. Hanley: "Dick, do you think it is worth a trip to Ohio about that burner?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Don and I have talked it over a lot. To burn only trees and paper is a
big amount." "Even put in a load of straight paper, build a metal she�d and drive right
into the burner. We get from Super Valu alone six to seven loads of boxes a day."

Mr. Hanley: Then the City sewege is not even 5'/o probably 3'/, of the total amount."
Mr. Else: "You have to be in Hopkins proper before you can use the dump, don't you."
Ma.yor Milbert: Yes, Vince, Dick, look at the one four miles out."
Mr. Burbacher: �I think we can afford to haul twenty miles than use a true land file. You
dig one trench and use each trench to file the one you are useing. "We know that is
expensive because we have to buy file." "Garbage is not our problem. The biggest is Homedale
nursey, it is all brush,and it take up a large area.
Mr. Hanley: "That burner would save ua a great deal."
Mr. Brubacher: "Highland Park went into a burner deal to get rid of old trees."
Hanley: "They also have ten or so towns that haul into burn and it makes it pay for itself."
Mr. Pokorny: "Look what they use to pay over there in St. Louis Park."
Mr. Else: "Going over the bills; Say is a minmum for a fire call to Eden Prairie $150.00
per call?"
Mr. Brubacher: "If you will remember we agreed to pay $4.00 to all firemen who answered
the calls. Everyone else use to get only $3.00 on the first 6 men ::& then the rest were
pay $1.00 per call.
Ma.yor Milbert: "How ma.ny calls Bob."
Bob: We had four calls in the first six weeks:.

We did and the fire dept, took over the room for a meeting.

save money."

Mr. Brubacher: "The check number 12096 shoud be cannelled. Paper Supplie will be paid
on our next per tist sheet."
Mr. Hanley: "Root-O-Matic, how do they get away with that?"
Mr. Hanley: "I see we paid $12.00 for Golf Instruction, could you get much for that?"
Mr. Pokornp: "How to use a putter, probably."
Mr. Hanley: "I should have known about it, if that is the case."

would be coneled." "$420.00 would be paid plus the $10.00 advertising cost."

of the alley located 100 feet north of Second Street South between Sixth Avenue
and Seventh Avenue by bituminous surfacing thereon. The estimated cost of such
improvement is $623.50.
Ma.yor Milbert: "John do you have something on this?"
Mr. Strojan: " This is the alley located in an area where both Commercial and Residential
both use the alley. It was petitioned for. The estimated cost of the
improvement will be $632.50.
Mayor Milbert: "Isn't this a commercial alley John?"
Mr. Strojan: "Yes, it is commercial, that part of the South 2 on 2nd. Street South;
The North 2 of the alley to 2nd. is Residential.
Ma.yor Milbert: "I thought that when the alley was both Commercial and Residential
then the Commercial firms paid for the alley improvements."
Mr. Hanley: "It doesn't make any difference at this time." "We should-.just order it
in."
Ma.yor Milb ert: "I don't think it is fair to the Residential areas in cases like this."
"Their use of the alley is far less than the use of the Commercial interests."
Mr, Vesely: "It don't ma.ke a lot of difference at this time." "You can go ahead and
order it in and figure that out afterwards."
Mayor Milbert: "Is there anyone here on this improvement?"
No one answered.
Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Else seconded the motion that Resolution No. 1080 "A RESOLUTION

assessed to the bsnefiting property owners. The motion carried.
Ma.yor Milbert: "Hearing at 7:30 in the City Council Chambers "FOR THE IMPROVII�NT OF THE
STREETS OF KNOLLWOOD ADDITION", by bituminous surfacing thereon and by the
construction either of concrete curb and gutter or of bituminous curb
thereon. The estimated costs of such improvements are $22,824.97 for
bituminous surfacing; an additional $29,348.00 for concrete curb and
gutter or an additiona.l $12,473.00 for bituminous curb."
Mayor Milbert: "Is there anyone here to speak on this improvement?"
The President of the Knollwood Association: "I wish to take only a few minutes to say
that after receiving your notice on the above improvement, our Association
and after discussing the improvements the Association appointed Mr. Joseph L.
Nathanson to speak for us."
Mr. Hanley: "I told him you were going to loose if he spoke for the Association."
Mr. Nathanson: "We have had a meeting of the Association to see if anyone in the area
wanted the above mentioned improvements." "It has proved to be an easy
matter for us as not any of us want the curbs or gutters." "We don't believe
now is the time to consider roads." "Our drainage problem isn't going to be improved."
"We do not have storm sewers." "We feel it would be throughing money down
the drain pipe to put in good roads without first having storm sewers."
"All of us are still heavily burdened at this time with the Sewer and Water
assessments." "It is not proper for me to waste your time on this ma.tter."
"We, as an association,have vote across the board that we do not want the
improuements." "We just do not want to re-surface as of now." "Also of
- late you have been sending men around to look at our homes again, we will
probably receive an addition in our taxes." "Then Green Hills addition to
the East of us have wanted to use our roads." "You have put up barricades
to kept them out, which we appreciate very much." "We don't wont these
people driving through on our roads." "If they stay the way they are we
have a very good reason to say no to them." "We have to drive over them
slowly, and don't want anyone else tearing over them."
"I understand that this came about because one of our members on Cottage Downs
has had some trouble with water standing on his property." "One of our
other members has agreed to let us deepen the pit by his property and to
run a pipe that will be laid by the shrubs on a second members property and
thereby drain this water into the pond."
Mayor Milbert: "Mr. Heller did bring about this hearing and is not here because he
is out of town." "But do you know or realize that storm sewers would be
installed at no extra cost; you would have only the cost of the road?"
-3-
August 7, 1962 Council meeting minutes contined.
Mayor Milbert: "There would be no cost for getting storm sewers installed."
Mr. Nathanson: "We still don't want the improvement."
Mr. Harriman: "In other words, Mr. Nathanson, Mr. Heller is in Knollwood and we don't
have his problem anymore?"
Mr. Nathanson: "His problem is a Knollwood one."
Mr. Hanley: "Is it practical, John, the method that has b�en suggested to take care
of Mr. Heller's problem?"
Mr. Strojan: "We considered the same method but felt it would be bad for the City
because of the unknown cost involed in going through private property."
Mr. Nathanson: "Our men will give easements so that the pipe may be laid at the side
of their shrubs and then it will drain right down into the pond."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Who explained this plan to you?"
Mr. Nathanson: "Bob Giltma.n."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Do you know what the costs would be?"
Mr. Hanley: "It would surely save a lot."
Mr. Strojan: "The only thing, should we have to pay for the shrubs our costs could run
into an unkowns figure."
Someone: "Why not use a sump pump and pump it into the pipe they would bury and so
into the pond."
Mr. Harriman: "Why don't we let the Association solve it."
M�yor Milbert: "The only problem is the road." "Can it continue to be let go."
Mr. Nathanson: "If we are happy with it, and don't want it improved, it should be
alI right with the city."
Mr. Harriman moved and Mr. Hanley seconded the motion that the improvement of the streets
of the Knollwood Addition with bituminous surfacing and with either concrete or bituminous
curbs and gutters be denied due to the request of the President and other members of the
Knollwood Addition Association. Tkie motion carried.

APPROXINlATELY 1,100�.FEET EAST", by the construction of concrete curb, gutter
and driveways and the repair of blacktop. The estimated cost is $3,931.70."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Do we have a petition on this one, John?"
Mr. Strojan: "Yes, we do.','
Mayor Milbert: "Is this in front of your building Art?"
Art: - - - -
Mr. Harriman "Are everyone in favor of it?"
Someone: "Everyone involed have signed the petition."
Mr. Strojan: "It would probably be better to install one storm sewer easement, rather

rather than have it go down the middle of the street."
Art: "I am glad you feel that�way John, I was concerned about that."
Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Pokorny, Jr. seconded the motion that Resolution No. 1081 "A

surfacing. The estimated costs of such improvement is $4,410.25 for or
$1,243.69 for bituminous surfacing."
Mr. Strojan: "Read his plans as he had figured them."
Someone: "Who got this idea about concrete;"
Mayor Milbert: "Are there anyone abjecting, John?"
Mr. Strojan: "Not that I know of."
Mr. Strojan: "However, the drainage problem will still be with us." "I think we
have looked and when we put in the drain it was put in an area that was
to high to do any real good."
Mr. Hanley: "If we order it in we will have a problem with the water."
Mr. Harriman: "John, what do you suggest we do?"
Mr. Harriman: "What do you suggest before we order it in."
Mr. Strojan: "We could run an easement through the tracks and go to the school drian."
Ma.yor Milbert: "That is 13th over the tracks."
Mr. Blomquist: "It is to low to drain from the alley."
Mr. Vesely: "Drain the area to 12th Avenue."
Mayor Milbert: "It worked real fine until they put the curb in."
Mr. Blomquist: "The catch basin was put in and now it is to high to drain."
Mr. Harriman: "I think we should hold it until you get the plan for the drainage, it
might not be feasible."
Mr. Else" "I don't thin we should order it in until we know all of the facts."
Mr. Harrima.n moved and Mr. Hanley seconded the motion that the hearing "FOR THE IMPROVE-

FROM THIRD STREET TO CHICAGO AND NORTHWESTERN RAILROAD AND THE ALLEY ON THE NORTH SIDE
OF CHICAGO AND NORTHWESTERN RAILROAD FROM ABOVE NORTH-SOUTH ALLEY TO TWELFTH AVENUE
NORTH" by straightening, grading and concrete or bituminous surfacing. The estimated
costs of such improvement to be $4,4�0.25 for the concrete or $1,243.69 for bituminous
surfacing be referred back to the City Engineer, Mr. Strojan for further study and
determination of cost for proper drainage before the improvement is ordered in; continued
to the A�tgust 21st Council meeting. The motion carried.
Ma.yor Milbert: "John do you have any engineers reports?"
Mr. Strojan: "Yes, I do." "I have a petition to improve the East-West Alley in the
First block North of Excelsior between 19th and 20th Avenues, by the installation
of bituminous surfacing thereon, the estimated cost to be $516.98."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Is there anyone here on this hearing?"
Someone: "I am on my own. �here must be some misunderstanding." The condition was
that about sixteen months ago I talked to the Ma.yor." "I told him that
20th and 21th Avenues had bituminous surfaci�ig; that 19th and 20 wasn't. "
"Our alley is just full of holes, oh, they run a blade down it once in a
while and it will be pretty good for a little while then it is bad again.
One of the„neighbors put in a load of gravel; I put in some myself." "But
I think the City should do something about it." The City garabe trucks get
stuck." "That alley has been a mud hole over since I have been here."
"This alley is really just a turn-around for traffic, and I don't see
why those living on the alley should have to pay for surfacing it."
Mayor MilbAirt: "John, was this on a petition?"
Mr. Strojan: "Yes, it was on a petition."
Someone: "Someone brought the petition to me and I signed it." "I didn't know what
I was signing."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Do you want this improvement or don't you?"
Someone: "We sure don't want concrete."
Mayor Milbert: "You don't have to have concrete."
Someone: "I still don't want it if we have to pay for it."
Mayor Milbert: "If the work is done it will be about a year and then you will be assessed."
Mr. Strojan: "This is another one of those half commercial and half residencial."
Mr. Brubacher: "That would be the same as the other one, then."
Someone: "When the back alley is for the Commercial businesses then the Commercial or
the City should have to pay for the improvements."
Ma.yor Milbert: "This is one-half in Minnetonka." "When you talk of improveing the alley
and the City paying the cost; that means all of the residence in the City
for the improve�ent."

August 7th Council meeting minutes continued.
Ma.yor Milbert: "The alley "Ts"."
Someone: "It is all iri grass."
Mr. Hanley: "About how much money are we talking about?"
Mr. Strojan: "It would cost�: $10.00 or $36.43 per property owner."
Mr. Hanley: "Then we are talking about the sum of $10.00 or something like that."
Mayor Milbert: "When the alley is used for commercial use it just shouldn't be
assessed to the benefiting property owners."
Mr. Harrima.n: "Is this alley being used?"
Mr. Strojan: "No, it isn't."
Someone: "]Lets close it."
Mr. Harrima.n: "We or Your can't do that can we Mr. Vesely?"
Mayor Milbert: "John, when do the assessments come due?"
Mr. Strojan: "A year from now."
Someone: "I would rather have it go as it is, I would like to have it fixed and signed
the petition, but I wouldn't ask anyone to spend $10.00 just to have the
alley fixed for me." "Just let it go and let the City maintain it as a graveled
alley."
Mr. Hanley:. "How many signed the petition?"
Mr. Strojan: "Five or six persons."
Mr. Hanley: "Does anyone else here approve of the improvement?"
Someone: "I just want ask fourteen people to pay $10.00 to fix the alley."
Ma.yor Milbert: "John, are �ou in favor of having it fixed?"
Mr. Strojan: "I would like to see the work done." "When it snows or rains it make a
very bad condition, you can't get in or out of the alley."
Mr. Haney: "If for no other reason we should do the work for the saving on our garbage
trucks."
Mr. Harriman: "But they only use the alley to collect garbage from the Commercial places."
"Has anyone ever petitioned to open this alley up?"
No answer.
Mr. Else moved and Mr. Hanley seconded the motion that Resolution No. 1083 "A RESOLUTION
FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE EAST-WEST ALLEY IN THE FIRST BLOCK NORTH OF EXCELSIOR AVENUE
BETWEEN 19TH AND 20�H AVENUE", by the installation of bituminous surfacing thereon, the

Hardware said he would bid but he didn't.
Mr. Pokorny, Jr. "I think we should re-advertise."
Mr. Hanley: "It is a dirty trick to open a bid and then re-advertise afterwards."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr. "Yes, that is right."
Mr. Holly: "You might have gotten only one bid, but keep in mind that the fellow
who made that bid did so in good faith." "He gave the best price he could."
"Just as though there were going to be many bids for the same mower."
Mr. Brubacher: "This ia a five foot mower for roadways and is a sma.11 mower for cleaning

August 2, 1962
Honorable City Council
City of Hopkins
Subject: Removal of No Parking Zone.
Gentlemen:
Suburban Rambler has requested that the "No parking zone" in front
of their new sales room and maintenance garage be removed. The City
Engineering Department has made a traffic survey of the location
and based upon their study, the Supt, of Police and myself recommend
that the unrestricted no parking zone be removed from this location
for a trial period. We further recommend that a"No parking from 7:00
to 9:00 a.m. and from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday" be
established at this location and that Suburban Rambler be rwquired to
reimburse the City for the cost of establishing such a zone.
The estimated cost of obtaining and installing such signs is approxi-
mately fifty dollars ($50.00).
Respectfully reconunended,
R. L. Brubacher,
City Ma.nager.
Mr. Brubacher: "We did take some traffic counts.:to see if we could possibley get along
with out the parking restrictions."
Mayor Milbert: "The recommendation for a no parking zone is certainly his," meaning the
manager of the Rambler Co."
Mr. Brubacher: "Y�'s, it is their recommendation to have the zone removed." "We found
that it would be all right except from say 3:30 to 5:30 in the after-
noon and from 7:00 to 9:00 a. m. and if they pay the cost I would say
we should at least try it."

Mr. Bru�acher: "Mr. Anderson found that the traffice fell off at 5:30 p.m, when he was
taking the count."
Mr. Strojan: "The count was not made all day, it was made at noon and at the rush hours."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr. "Why can't they have parking of their own?"
Mr. Brubacher: "They could, but they should be treated like Townsedge."
Mr. Vesely: "Why not put in meters?"
Mr. Hanley: "This surprises me, down town at 5:30 you can shut a cannon off and not
hit a car."
Mr. Harrima.n: "If the studies have been made mostly at noon I think we don't really have
a full picture."
Mr. Brubacher: "This is right." "We knew that it had to be controled during the morning
and evening hours, so all that really matter was the noon time traffic."

back."

Tea put their sign up."
Mr. Ti�nerman: "It will be a sign 10' x 20' and should help a great.deal; it should
block off the tin shed of National Tea."
Mr. Hanley: "To put a sign that is 10 x 20' in that area just doesn't make sence."
Mr. Else: "The Zoning and Planning Commission didn't feel to happy about it."
Mr. Timmerma.n: "All I can say is that I only represent the Chamber; the Powell Candy
Company has given us the ground; and it is not a cheap sign."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Would it be feasible to put it up some where else, on the Minnetonka
area?"
Mr. Ti�nerman: "We felt it should be up on Excelsior and by the Powell Candy Co."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr.'? I go along with you, it should be put somewhere else."
Mr. Haniey: "It is a beautiful landscaped area and to put a sign like that up is just
blocks out the whole area. The size of a sign 10' x 20' is just =
fantastic:'
Mr. Timmerman: "The size is 10' x 18' and is ma.de of 14' boards."
Mr. Hanley: "There is no reason for it." "The location is beautifully landscaped."
"You can see it as you drive along for miles."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Why don't you consider one of the other corner of the co�nunit." "From
the West or something like that?"
Mr. Timmerman left without any action being taken on his request.
Mr. Brubacher: "What about this sanitation thing?"
Mayor Milbert: "Would you say you had some figures on it?,"
Mr. Brubacher: "I did not do much work on the place I have found." "I wanted to wait
until the Coun.cil look at it."
Mr. Else: "Does this provide material for land file?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, for a good ma.ny years."
Mr. Else: "Could we use it for a sma.11 golf course."
Mr. Brubacher:
Mr. �llse:
"Yes."
"We need figures." "I went down and looked around but could not find the
place." "Cound I see the place?"
Mr. Brubacher: (pointing at a ma.p) "This is were we bought the cabbage, right here."
Mr. Else: "This is all low here?"
Mayor Milbert: "Low and high:"
Mr. Brubacher: "When we would pull the high parts down and have all of the file we need."
Mr. Hanley: "What would the re-action be to the folks here:" (pointing to Park Valley
Area).
Mayor Milebert: "What would you think of a dump four block from your home or s sanitary
land file to be used as a golf course;"
Mr. Peterson: "I would think it was just fine."

The August 7th, 1962 Council meeting:minutes continued.
Mr. Pokorny, Jr. "What problems will you have getting garabe trucks under the bridge?"
Mr. Strojan: "We will have to lower it, or the road a lit$le."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr. "It isn't bad, and if half the load could go down l�th, it would be
better."
Mr. Brubacher: "The worse part of the St. Louis Park deal is with our people." "They
would have to separate all the garbage from the other paper and waste."
Mr. Else: "What about the burners?"
Mr. Hanley: "It is the only way to really do away with the papers etc."
Mr. Brubacher: "What do you want us to consider':°,:the 20 or 40 atEea piece?" "Both pieces
would go for $105,000."
Mr. Hanley: "Say what you are going to use the one for Dick, and you will get the
second one cheaper."
Mr. Brubacher: "I think we should go and look at it, do you think we should go and
see it together?"
Mr. Else: "The prevailing wind is to the South." "Mr. Peterson would receive
a lot of objection from a burner."
Mayor Milbert: "We are not considering burning garba�e." "This is one way the burner
cuts our land fil� needs down."
Mr. Hanley: "When the doors are closed it cuts down the odor and there is where we
would save a lot from boxes etc."
Mayor Milbert: "Just on trees etc we would save a great deal."
Mr. Else: "How long does it take us to fil�. in an acee?"
Ma.yor Milbert: "To quick, but we have just had straight file."
Mr. Brubacher: "We will fil� in ten acres in five years."
Mr. Hanley: "If we did not have to buy file anymore we could cut our costs a lot."
Mayor Milbert: "As far as depleated land there is not any until you get right up to
town, it is just swamp." (speaking of land in Minnaton�)
Mr. Else: "If we should get this would we use it as you have been using your land?"
Mr. Ha.nley: Would you have the fill on this piece?"
Mr. Brubacher: "No, I don't think we would have the necessary fill."
Mayor Milbert: "My feeling is that it would encourage others to fill this in." "It
might be us."
Mr. Brubacher: "We should check the cost of that also."
Mr. Hanley: "We might have to pick that up as well."
Mr. Brubacher: "We have to have a ponding area."
Mr. Hanley: "How would bring the trucks in?"
Ma.yor Milbert: "Down llth and 9th."
Mr. Brubacher: "llth and 9th." "It ends right on llth."

� Mr. Hanley: "For the same cost then we would have something,in the end."
Mayor Milbert: "Dick, why don't you move and really look it over."
Mr. Else: "I was donw the other night."

Mr. Brubacher: To Mr. Timmerma.n: "Doug, do you want to bring up the parking?'

The August 21st. 1962 Council meeting minutes continued.
Ma.yor Milbert: "He has to set on the not guilty pleas."
Mr. Hanley: "He saves them up and takes them all on the two days?"
� l�r, �m$orny: "So what is the problem?"
Mr. Brubacher: "The problem is that Max gets $2400.00 no ma.tter how much or often he
sets."
Mr. Hanley: "Now I can see why it is necessary."
Mr. Brubacher: ."Roger gets the cases where the City is involved."
Mr. Hanley: "Max could take eare of a lot more cases." "It is just like the Councilmen
who are paid in full when we get $100. per year :
Mr. Brubacher: "When we put the City Hall up should we put up the increase.-�. for Council-
men."
Mr. Hanley: "The paper shows we get $25.00 and the Ma.yor $75.00." "Someone said we are
properly paid."
Mr. Brubacher: "The only reason I brought it up tonight it was back in 1959 that the
City set the Judge at $2400."
Mayor Milbert: "What was it before that?"
Mr. Brubacher: "We had it at $1200. before that." "The feeling the first year was that
$600.00 �i�� would be allowed for vacation, illness and the not guilt�es."
But since that time our court has picked up from $100. cut off to $1000.00."
Mr. Pokorny: "If Vesely should get elected do you have any thoughts about another Attorney?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Not at this time."
Mayor Milbert: "A1 Wegleitner is still ill, we are taking up a collection for him if
any of you want to get in on it."
Mr. Strojan: "This just came in and they would like us to act on it." "The Bell Telephone
Company wants a permit to place buried cable from existing ma.nhole in the alley
North of Excelsior Avenue between 12th and 13th Avenues to 12th Avenues, thence
South along 12th Avenue to a distance of approxima.tely 565 feet to the F�st-

The August 21st. 1962, Council meeting minutes continued.
Mayor Milbert: "Is there anything else Dick?"
Mr. Brubacher: "The lone lot on 20th, that we have not been able to get." "This
gentlemen wanted $2,000. for it but will now sell for $1,500.00."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Is this the lot the recreation department wants?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, and because it could get water it is on the corner of 20th and 3rd."
"This could be put in there and they felt that it would round out the park."
Ma.yor Milbe�t: "If we authorize this purchase will you notify the County that we got
this lot for $1,500.00?"
Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Pokorny, Jr. seconded the motion that the City Ma.na.ger, Mr.
Brubacher� be authorized to purchase the lot on the corner of 20th Avenue North and
3rd Street North, the Schelfer property, for additional existing Park site for rec-
reationa.l purposes. The amount of�the purchase offered to be $1,500.00; with the under-
standing that this money be taken out of the 1962 budget. The motion carried.
Mayor Milbert: "Dick what do you know about this 10 or 11'/o increase li�a the County on .:�...
our tax�s;" •
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, I read the paper too." We have done some work and we feel that
probably we were a little low at first, at the time we worked on the over-
all increase what we did was to reduced cliffs figures.""We figured we
were at 28 2'/, they say we are at 27 2." "They are shoting for 30.5'/0." "If
you take th�:s at a$1000, this would be 27.5." Then you take 11'/0 of this
is is �.02 and all to 27.5 and you get 30.5." "This is it, if you check the
true and full it will be a 17'/0 of an increase or about 40r/o or so." "We are working on
this." "We can't quarrel until we get the figures the County are:using."
"We got the figures down, if you feel we need the Council we will be happy
to call you." "If we are over the 40.5 we should send in an abatement, this is
good if they want to equalize the County." "It is one thing that is interesting
though, and that is what the towns who liaven't sent in there books get raised."
Mr. Hanley: Edina was in."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Anything elsa?"
Mr. Brubacher: "You know that we have an extra Judge. It was arrange that Mr Rogers
would set whenever Mr. Vesely was trying a City case." To date we have pa�d
him$650.00 to set for just this much of the year."
Mr. Hanley: "I knew that right from the start; it always works out that way."
Mr. Brubacher: "The bind comes in the Jury trials."
Mr. Hanley: "He sets two days a month?"
Mr. Brubacher: "He releaves Max's two days a month."
Mr. Hanley: "That was not the set up."
Mr. Brubacher: "It works out like that because the City Attorney and Max's can't be on
the same cases.
-13-
The August 21st. 1962, Council meeting minutes continued.
Mr. Hanley: According to this letter he wants to put the buffer in South of the road."
Mr. BrubaGher: "There would be no set back from the edge of the street. Should the
City ever have to go in to do work the City would have to take care of the
cost of the damages done to the buffer materials."
Mr. Hanley: "I see no reason for not puting it on either side."
Mr. Brubacher: "I talked to him and he wants to put them on the North side." "He.and
Mr. Howell want to stop the traffic and keep it from going back through."
They have to.re up the park several times."
Mr. Pokorny: "They are paying for it?"
Mr. Hanley: "They are going to." Holly and Ashey should have barricades so that
traffic can't get through."
Mx. Brubacher: "We put the peat in there?

COUNCILMEN:
Ma.yor Milbert: 62-6-E. The Zoning and Planning Commission recommend approval of the
request to build a proposed addition to an exis�ing building and for a special
use permit. The location, 101 Jefferson St, or Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
� 10,14 and the North Z of Lot 15; and Lots 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27;
Block 23 including that part of Northeasterly and Southwesterly alley lying
between the Easterly line of Madison Avenue and the Northerly extension of Lot
72, all in said Block 23. All of Blocks 24 and 32. The South 2 of Lot ll and
(�- all of Lots 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24, Block 33.
Including half of vacated Jefferson Avenue, all of vacated Madison Avenue, all
of vacated lst. Street lying East of Jefferson Avenue and West of the Extension
North of the West line of the alley in Block 33, all in West Minneapolis Center,
with the following provisions:
(a) That the fence, to be constructed according to an agreement ma.de
with the Village of Edina., be kept in good repair.
(b) That the land between the fence and the roadway shall be sodded and
maintained in lawn.
(c) That at such time as the decision is ma.de to improve that portion
of the Street in Edina, Super Valu shall participate through an
assessment to improve that portion in Hopkins. �
(d) That traffic entering and leaving Super Valu shall only use�'3rd.
Street South to County Road 18. Case ��62-37. Applicant: Super Valu.
Ma.yor Milbert: "Is there anyone here on this?"
Mr. Winslow and Mr. Dugan of Super Valu came forward. Mr. Kluegel, a lawyer representing
Mr. Carson Nagle and the property owners abutting the railroad-spur living in homes fronting
'�_-�on Monroe Avenue South, and therefore opposing the addition to Super Valu came forward.
Ma.yor Milbert: "We will hear the objections first."
Mr. Kluegel: "I �r.epresent Mr. Carson Nagel, of. 126 Monroe Avenue South." "I also have
other complaints from the other residence of this area." "Some of the complaints
are: 1. That Super Valu's word cannot be taken, it means nothing. 2. When
the residence bring their complaints to the Super Value office, they are
assured that the complaint will be looked into and that is the last that
they hear of it. 3. They are currently in violation of the Ordiance on
building permits but still they are here asking for a building permit. I
think they should be fined $100.00 a day for each day until and if the permit
is issued." 4. They are presently using three lots for parking that they
do not have any authorization to use for such purposes.""All parking areas are
to be finished in or with a dust free base." 5':These lots are not dust free."
They are unloading cars off the rail spur at any time, day or night. 6. The
language the men use is just unrepeatable." "Last summer I gave Mr. Nagel my
tape recorder, and if you could have heard the dock workers' talk, swearing
etc., it was during the summer time, and the property owners in this area
have every right to have their windows open for air without having to subject
their families to noises of _unloading freight cars all night and with the
laud swearing etc, from the dock workers." 7. "I have looked around the build-
ing, it is infested with rats." 8. "There is garbage all over the lots."
Then they have gone ahead and started their new building addition and they
don't even have the permit." "They are here tonight to try to get that permit."
"In 1952 Super Valu promised to enclose the loading docks and it still hasn't
been done." "They promised to keep their unloading at night to a minimum but"
At this time Mr. Winslow attempted to interupt Mr. Kluegel:
Mr. Harrima.n: "No, let's hear him?"
Mr. Kluegel: "Do you remember, Mr. Nagel, when Super Valu orginially built their building
� did they agree to any stipulations?"
Mr. Nagel: "They:stated their intentions to enclose the loading docks, landscape the
area and to keep it clean." "It is rat infested." "The rats come from blocks."
"There is food all over the ground, I can bring you over there any time and
show you dried vegetables, breakfastfood etc, all over the road bed."
Mr. Kluegel: To another one of the property owners. "Were you at the meeting or hearing
when Super Valu first applied for a building permit in 1952?"
Property Owner. "Yes, they agreed then that they would stay twenty feet off of the sid��n
but they never did." "I went up to see the Vice-President, about'the noise
and the dock workers talk and while he was as nice as he could be, that is
all that ever came out of it." "We moved out, but we still own the property
there, we can't sell it."
Mr. Kluegel: "Will the people who have homes in this area now and had them in 1952 and were
at the hearing on the Super Valu 's original request for a building permit
please raise their hands?" (several people raised their hands, I did not have
time to get the count).
Mr. Kluegel: These people are not '_he�E to prevent Super Valu from building, but ��.ey think
that Super Valu have a lot of gaul to ask the City of Hopkins for additional
favors after not living up to any of their origina.l promises." "We would
like to ask that they not get the building permit until they have cleaned out
the rats, cleaned up the grounds, dust proofed the parking lots and be ma.de
to pay $100.00 fine for each day they have been building without a permit."
Mr. Harrima.n: To Mr. Kluegel: "You are aware that we can not rule on Ordinance violations?"
Mr. Kluegel: "I realize that, I am just trying to point out that Super Valu are not liv-
ing up to any of their 1952 promises and are going ahead with their presant
building without the proper perniit."
Mr. Ha.rrima.n: "Violation have to be judged by a Court of law."
Mr. Kluegel: "Then I will ask that my compaints be made in a court of law."
Mr. Ha.rriman: To Mr. Brubacher: "Mr. Brubacher, what have you heard about any of this?"
Mr, Brubacher: "The surface of the parking lot is crushed rock, it is accepted for parking
lots but it is not dust free." The �.g have been some complaints on garbage,
but this is the first I have heard about rats." "I was the last to hear that
they had started to build without a building permit." "A permit to grade was
issued providing fhe Building Inspector passed•on theie�building plans, but
that was for grading only." "As for the exterior of the building, we don't
have any Ordina.nce that says that Super Valu has to paint.""The unlgeding at
night has been a constant source of compaint."
"There are certain places in the warehouse for all of the merchandise; the
cars carr;�ing that merchandise is spotted to be unloaded at the most con-
veninent door of the warehouse': ""It want ma.tter which part of the dock
it covered, if the car load of inerchandise to be unloaded is spotted at
the door closest to like merchandise that is where it will be un�Qaded, you
can't make me believe that you will use only the covered spur and pay for
moving the merchandise to where it should go."
Mr. Winslow: "90'/, of all the cars are unloaded during the day time."
Mr. Kluegel: "That is impossible." "Would Super Valu be willing to enclose this section
of the unloading docks?"
Mr. Winslow: No, it would be to e�>pensive to enclose the dock."
Mr. Timmerma.n of the Chamber of Commerce: "Where are the records, would they perhaps show
if the docks were to be enclosed?"
Mayor Milbert: "I doubt if the records of 1952 would say."
�omeone: "Nationa.l Tea and Red Owl have there warehouses a long way from any residence.
But you can check and you will see that their spurs were and are enclosed. They
are considerate of others."
Mr. Pokorny: "I would like to ask a couple of things at this time about the litter and
weeds and something about the rats and the decoration as well as the upkeep
business. "
Mr. Winslow: "I will go along with Mr. Brubacher, as far as the rats are concerned. I
didn't know that there were any':'"We hire an Extermina.ter, he goes over the
building once a month.""We just cannot afford to have�.y rats in a warehouse."
As to litter outside of the warehouse and weeds, �� have a daily pick-up of
the papers etc. There maybe times when he does not pick up; but we have
ma.de provisions for such cleaning." There may be some dry groceries swept
::�� out of the cars after they are unloaded, but we just can't have rats."
Mr. Pokorny: "Would that draw rats?"
Mr. Winlsow: "The perishables are enclosed." "Any ma.terial that would be spoiled is
taken away daily." "The�e would be only dry grocieris on the docks."
Mr. Pokorny: "Does your :contract with an exterminator include the outside of the
building?"
Mr. Winslow: "I don't know, we just hire an extermina.tor."
Mr. Kluegel: "This is like a General in an army, he is always passing the orders on
and therefore the buck."
'Mr. Pokorny: To Mr. Brubacher: "Ha.s our weed inspector checked on the weeds?"
Mr. Brubacher: "The area concerned is about the three lots on Monroe Avenue, we have had
a.comp3aint on that area, but this is the first time I have heard anything
about the grounds around the building itself."
Mr. Ha.rrima.n: "Is this a violation, this noise problem?"
Mr. Vesely: ""We11, I guess you could call it a misdemeanor under Ordinance ��24, if you
distrub the peace by ma,ki�ng undue noises and not stopping at the request of
the Police department."
Mr. Winslow: "I have been in charge of all of the construction for Super Valu." "The
plansp:and specifications for the 1952 warehouse never had any plans to enclose
the railroad spur. We did include in our plan to enclose the loading dack and
ma.ybe it was the dock that the people understood we were .covering, but at no
time were any provision planned for the enclosure of that spur." "Our present
plans call for the railroad spur to be covered and we are acturally enclosing
�
it down a few feet so that the noise will be prevent�." We realize that the
noise should be held down." "We give the orders that�the doors to the cars
are to be kept closed, but it is hot and you know what happens." We do try
to keep our unloading at night down as much as possible." "Super Valu is a
good neighbor." We try to keep the grounds up and be agreeable."
Mr. Ha.nley: "Do you have any records showing your unloading work at night?"
Mr. Winslow: "We try to concentrate our unloading to one night a week." "We have talked;
as I said, to the men." We have issued instruction that they must keep the
noise down, they will work just so long and then they open the doors and of
course you can hear the talk': "We will agree that it is noisy at certain
times." "We are trying to take this into consideration in our new plans. and
have only five cars there at a time." "The noise matter is the only thing
I am aware of, there ma.ybe other things like Mr. Kluegel says but it would
seem that we are talking about two different things." "That is not what
this meeting is for, there ma.ybe other grievances but not to my knowledge."
Mr. Nagel: "If you want to check on compaints, just call on the police department records."
Ma.yor Milbert reads the following letter from Super Valu:
The Honorable Ma.yor.and City Council
City of Hopkins, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
We have met with Mr. Brubacher, Mr. Strojan and Mr. Blomquist concern3�g=-
the unloading of freight cars at night on the East side of the Hopkins,
Minnesota, warehouse facility. We are forthwith looking into the matter
as we advised the above gentlemen:
The plans for the warehouse addition to the South of the present warehouse
provide for the additional rail spur track extension to be enclosed. This
enclosure will provide for five additiona.l rail cars. For security and other
reasons, normal operating procedures would provide for preference being given
for cars to be unloaded in the enclosed area.
Sincerely yours,
Vice Present: R. M. Winslow/hmf.
Mayor Milbert: "Mr. Winslow has just put in writing what he has just been saying."
�;J;v`
Mr::I�luegel:':"Are you familar, Mr. Winslow, with the dock and were the merchandise goes?"
Mr. Dugan: "On the three houses we bought and took down; the conditions are a lot �etter
now than when we took them over. One of the houses even had an open septic
pool, we have cleaned or covered it up and we have actually taken over all of
'� the area that was all weeds."
Mr. Hanley: "But Mr. Kluegel, they keep saying that they have exterminator service and
a ma.n to keep the outside area policed, how can it be so bad?"
Mr. 8age1: Mayor Milbert, you and I were over there, I showed you the spur tract. It had
breakfastfood all over it, in fact in places there were dried peas two inches
deep. There was paper all ovsr the place."
Ma.yor Milbert: "�es, I saw the paper, all right."
Someone: Mr. Winslow says that they have a man to clean up the out-side of the building
every day. But what about the swearing and talk?" "Why the men even make
remarks to my wife." How would you like to have men unloading freight cars
ma.ke dirty remarks. to your wife and children?" "If the dock area was covered
over they could not see your family." "We would like to use our �ack yards in
the evenings."
Mr. Hanley: "Would it cost a lot, Mr. Winslow, to cover over this spur?"
Mr. Winslow: "Yes, about $150,000.00, and it wont be necessary when we get our new building
uP.n
Mr. Hanley: "Well, for the sake of peace, what could we do with a fence?"
Mr. Kluegel: Mr. Winslow, do you know what it would cost to put in a side fence so that
no one can see the mess but you?"
Mr. Winslow: "If any of the people here want to ma.ke or give specfic aharges ana.inst any
of inen then we could do something, but with the unions and all thase general
complaints are not anything that we can work with."
Ma.yor Milbert: Mr. Kluegel, do you think you can get some --
Mr. Pokorny, Jr. interupted Mayor Milbert: "I think we should hold the permit until we get
some more informa.tion on the condition."
Mr. Hanley: "What could we do with a ten foot fence?"
Mr. Winslow: "It would be at least $5,000.00; we would be just spending the money that
we would get no return on. The ideas we are talking about will be taken care
of when we get the new building up."
Mr. Harriman: "About how many feet do you have there?"
Mr. Winslow: "600 feet ."
Mayor Milbert: "The problem of noise, a fence will not kept the noise down."
Mr. Hanley: "I know but for the good of the neighborhood wouldn't it be worth $5,000.00?"
Mr. Winslow: "We don't have any compliance in the winter time.
Mr. Harrima.n: "He, Mr. Kluegel, is talking more than noise, if in the next two years,
Mr. Winslow, if the men continue to talk to the women and children etc.
then would you be willing to put up a fence?"
Mr. Winslow: "No, I don't think so."
Mr. Kluegel: "A fence does not do any thing about the present conditions that these
people are talking about or the building permit that they need and that as
yet has not been granted even though they are already building."
Mr. Winslow: "If the conditions are satisfactory to the City Ma.nager and the Chief of
police that is all that is neeessary."
Mr. Vesely: "There is no ordina.nce stating that they or anyone else must paint or clean
up their buildings."
Ma.yor Milbert: The Zoning and Planning Commission.speak of a fence."
Mr. Dugon: "We have requested a permit from the Edina Village to construct a fence."
Mayor Milbert: "The fence we are talking about here then is the one that you are building
because of an agreement you ma.de with the Village of Edina, is it to be kept
in good repair?"
Mr. Winslow: "That is right, and it will be kept up and painted."
Mayor Milbert: "About the land between the fence and the roadway, what do you intend to do
witli it?"
Mr. Winslow: "Actua.11y, as you know we have deeded this to the City, we will put in
trees and grass, it will be attactive." "I prefer to have something in there
so that the land will be maintained." "That is the agreement we have with the
residence of Edina."
Mr. Ha.rriman: "Does this clear up this area?"
Mr. Vesely: "Except that unless there ia an ordinance it doesn't mean anything."
Ma.yor Milbert: "The trees can certainly stay, they are good for the area."
Mr. Wins�ow: "If you feel (b) is all right it is all right with me." "But I don't see
the need of (c); there isn't anybody that goes down 3rd. Street."
Ma.yor Milbert: "I don't think your City or the City of Hopkins will improve this area
as a street; however if it is improved it will be a decision that the Village
of Edina and Hopkins will make."
Mr. Winslow: "As far as (d) goes traffic entering and leaving Super Valu shall only use
3rd. Street South to County Road 18 is OK by me."
Mr. Dugan: "By traffic, you mean truck traffic don�t you?"
Mayor Milbert: "Yes, we mean all of the trucks."
Mr. Harrima.n: "Will you permit this letter you presented to be a part of the motion for
your building permit?"
Mr. Winslwo: "Yes."
Mr. Harrima.n: "Then I move that the permit b� approved subject to the letter being ma.de
a part of the motion and with the deletion of section (d) of the reco�nendation
ma.de by the Zoning and Planning Commission."
Mr. Else: "I second the motion." The motion carried.
Mr. Harriman: "Now that you have the building permit, when are you going to paint the
new addition?"
Ma.yor Milbert: "Could you go over the rest of the building?"
Mr. Dugan: "We will try to improve it as soon as possible, but it is our building."
Ma.yor Milbert: "I know it is your building, but let's clean it up':
All of the above is a portion of a very fast running conversation between the parties
concerned only, during most of the above conversations the group of residence from the
Monroe Avenue area also kept up a running conversation consisting of rema.rks indicating
that Super Valu's word was not to be taken, that they would agree to anything to get the
required building permit and then continue to do as they please. That they as residence,
have been approached by a representitive of Super Valu regarding the buying of the�rhomes.
That as far as they were concerned they might have just as well stayed home. That nothing
would be done about the noise, the cleaning up of the grounds, the rats etc. They all left
with the lawer, Mr. Kluegel, assuring the Council and the Super Valu representitives that
they would be taking the matter up again and the next time it would be in court.
Case 62-6-E.

Mr. Harriman moved and Mr. Else seconded the motion that the recommendations
of the Zoning and Planning Co�anission, approv�u the request to build a proposed
addition to an existing building and for a special use permit; the location,

Ma.yor Milbert: "Gentlemen, we continue the above proposed improvement out of respect of
Mr. Geltman." "Mr. Geltman is not able to be here again this evening but
� he has written this letter."
October l2, 1962
Dear Mr. Peterson:
Reference our conversation of Thursday, October llth, I would appreciate
-1-
Council meeting, Oct. 16, 1962 continued.
very much if you would convey the following opinion to the Council next
Tuesday night, at any convenient time during their meeting.
I am in favor of the above improvement for the following reasons:
(a) This should elimina.te the lake in front of Mr. Heller's home, which
appears whenever it rains or snows.
(b) A successful conclusion of Mr. Heller's persistent battle.
(c) The elimiation of possible ulcers for the Mayor, Council and Secretary of
the Council.
I would very much appreciate if the Council would carefully check to see if
this work can be done completely and successfully before the winter season
sets in as I have unpleasant memories of the residents of Knollwood walking
from either Highway 7 or County Road 18 to their homes for an entire winter some
10 years ago when water and gas were put in and winter set in before the road
could be fixed. In the event this work cannot be done completely before winter
please request the Council to approve the improvement and schedule the work
for next spring.
I know that Mr. Blake has expressed an opinion of postponing the work until
spring and I have spoken to Mr. Gordon and Mr. Heller and hope they concur
in the wisdom of this.
Thank you for the courtest extended to my family and myself, by the Council,
the Mayor and you in this ma.tter.
•�-.:-_,,- .':-:.. ._ Very truly yours,
Robert M. Geltma.n

Mr. Harrima.n: "But Mr. Heller wants it in now."
Mr. Harriman: "Mrs. Zakariasen, are you here on the Knollwood Addition hearing?"
Mrs. Zaka.riasen,"No, I am not."
Mr. Pokorny: "When could this be finished, John?"
Mr. Strojan: "The contractor says that he will start at or on October 22nd and will
be finished in one week or by October 31th."
Mayor Milbert: "We could move on it now and do the work in the spring."
Mr. Hanley moved and Mr. Pokorny Jr. seconded the motion that Resolution �� 1110, "A RESOLUTION

Case 62-24-E.
Ma.yor Milbert: Communication from the City Ma.na.ger, Mr. Brubacher, relative to.prohibiting
of parking on 5th Avenue North from Minnetonka Mills Road continued from the
September 18, 1962 meeting until letters could be sent to all property owners
� concerned."
Mayor Milbert: "Is there anyone here from 5th Avenue?"
Mr. Patrick B. Kidder: '?I have a statement I would like to past around." Mr. Kidder
passed a two page document around to the Councilmen.
-2-
Council meeting, Oct. 16, 1962 continued.
ZMr. Kidder: "I would like to also corrnnent that since this does effect only are area
I have checked the traffic of Washington Avenue and Minnetonka. Mills Road."
"The report of September 23, 1962 showed that 12,000 cars, trucks and etc.
pass this section of 5th Avenue dai.ly." "I talked to Mr. Puck and he said
that this corner did not have enough traffic to warrant signs, if 12,000
cars ar.e not enough will someone tell what the figure has to be?" "If
this chan�should take place all the traffic that now comes from Moline
and go� over 17th or County 73 will start going over 5th and across to
Cedar Lake road."
Mayor Milbert: "This is not the �roblem before us tonight." "Our problem is not to
speed up traffic at any area and certainly not at this one, but to ma.ke
them go through faster; As to the left turn lane you speak about, that
is something that went through about two years ago, the State is just now
getting around to putting it in, this Council did not have anything to do
with this left turn lane."
Mr. Kidder: Mr. Donnellan said it was action that a committee that he was on took
and that the committee was working on getting 5th Avenue extended through
to County Road ��3." "Also I don't know what the figure on the amount of
traffic at a given corner is to warrant a traffic signa.l, but I do under-
stand that we maybe getting these pus� button signals on opposite corners.
Mr. Kidder: "Push button are not what we need."
Someone: "Those corner push button, are not always the answer, I have seen children
stand and push them and really get traffic stop�;� "
Mr. Puck: "This is a County Road and they will not allow us to have the type of signa.ls
� that can be used or,pushed to stop traffic at any time; we will have the
type of signa.l that is on only during the rush time for the children going
and coming from school and they will flash amber during the rest of the
day or night."
Mr. Harrima.n: "John how wide is this street at this point?"
Mr. Strojan: "It is 38 feet wide."
Mr. Kidder: "The peak of traffic on this street is between 4:30 then again at 4:15,
at 5:00 and there is lit.tl�=_.or�_traffic by comparison after these hours."
"But if you put this street striping and extend Sth Avenue you are asking
the City to have 23 hours of rush traffic, you are inviting it."
� "If you think there is no other way to handle this traffic pattern, I have
worlc�out a very sensible and worka.ble plan." (Mr. Kidder shows the Council
a worked out drawing of the traffic pattern for 5th Avenue.) (Mr. Strojan
was presented the plan after Mr. Kidder finished explaining it.)

Mr. Kidder: "I would reco�nend the area to Minnetonka. Mills Road and the Church
junction that a center line be painted and thereby making this a two lane
road."
Mr. Puck: "I recommend install two more pedestrians signs on the school system." The
two would cost about $1500." "The buttons would be on all four corners
this way."
Mr. Harriman: "What is it that the County doesn� want?"
Mayor Milbe�t: "That work is to be put in next Spring."
Mr. Harriman: "Would the lights be amber on 5th?"
Mayor Milbert: "Yes, they would be amber on 5th."
Mr. Harrima.n: "What is the situa.tion with the County by adding a 5th phase?"
Mr. Puck: " I am tr�ting to get the same thing for the South-North bound traffic on
Washington Avenue."
Harriman: "Would that help?"
Mr. Puck: "Yes, it would."
Mr. Harrima.n: "On highway 7 they have an island?" "Would that defeat the purpose?"
Mr. Puck: "No, not up there."
Mayor Milbert: "Do you recommend that we ask the State to put in this type of signal?"
Mayor Milbert: "We should study this whole thing a little, I think."
Someone: "If the Highway would change and put in the suggested lights on Minnetonka.
Mills Road and 5th �venue, would this be a light the children could operate?"
"I have seen children stand and push those buttons just for the fun of
pushing them and stopping cars." "Then stop and stand there and laugh."
Mayor Milbert: "That is ture, but most of them are timed so that they can not do that."
Mr. Puck: "We might have - - - -
Mayor Milbert: "We are not ready to move on this ---."
Mr. Puck: Mr. Sam Fisher from the County is coming over and we are going to try to
get a plan worked out."
Mr. Kidder: "Can you set up a meeting with the County, and State and work out an agreement
that we can attend?"
Mr. Otto Wenzel: "I am here for the Church along with Cecil Kloss (Zion Lutheran), we
have and represent from 600 to 700 families." "Tax p�ng proge,ty��owners

running into almost $100,000.00.""The Church has not�anything about these
proposed changes and we wish to request that we are notified of any of this
type of action in the future."
Mayor Milbert: "Can you meet with the group?"
Mr. Hanley: "We would suggest that you meet with the group and be a part of it."
Mr. Wenzel: "The traffic has increased." "It is a very bad not to be notified
of this sort of planning and to just find out about it after it is done."

Several people raised their hands. .
Mayor Milbert: "Are you for or opposed?" �`
Mr. D. Summers of 330 - 16th Avenue: "Why do they have to put a base surface on, wont
oil do?"
Ma.yor Milbert: "Because of ma.intenance, that is the real reason." " It is almost impossible
to keep the road up that is oiled."
Mr. Summers: "Doge the City own this street?"
Ma.yor Milbert: "This part of it belongs to the Ra.ilroad but we have the use of it."
"John what do you say, is this right?"
Mr. Strojan: "Yes, we have the agreement with the Railroad to use the road arid we do
not feel that oil is satisfactory here."
Someone of 318-16th. "We feel this road is adequa.te without it being blac�C topped."
Mayor Milbert: "This is not the question, we do not own this^ and;bthe portion you are
speaking of. We are trying to and will be able to buy it and therefore
put in a street for you."
Mr. Strojan: "That part of Block 1, Gibbs lst Addition to West Minneapolis showing
proposed Division of Lot 13,;to-wit: That part of Lot 13, Block 1, Gibbs lst
addition to West Minneapolis lying Southwesterly of a line parallel with and
30 feet Northeasterly at right angles from the Northeasterly property line of

road." It will be a help on 16th." "There is only one way to get up
and when there is snow and such we need the road." "On the West side
there is not any alley and the property owers have to use the street."
Someone: "I would like to have the road tared." "Will they have to shut off this
road if the road is not put in?"

traffic."
"No one wants a graveled road in this day and age what with all of the
dust." All you have is dust in the house."
Paul --- of 15th Avenue North. "I go along with the bituminous surfacing of the
street and I wonder if it would save us any money to have the alley
done at the same time?"
Ma.yor Milbert: "No, it would delay the surfacing of the street."
Mr. Pokorny: "The cost of the progerty,should that be a part of the cost of the road?"
"I think the cost should come out of ganeral funds."
Mayor Milbert: "Yes, this is so, but I don't think we should get into this."
Mr. Harriman: "Can we buy this road?"
Mayor Milbert: "That is something that I don't think we should get into this evening."
Mr. Harrima.n: "Tt will �xe: a ma.tter for the assessing department."
Mrs. Anderson on 16th: "Does the City ovil^the road to the alley?" "Is it from the alley

to have that hill cut down." "I was almost hit there by a school bus
the other day, he came over the top of that hill and if I hadn't been
way over he would have hit me head on." "When can we get the crest of
that hill cut down?"
L. W. Grover: "I live on the East side of the hill and I would not be in favor of
having the hill cut down." "Cutting the hill down would be har� on my
property."
Mayor Milbert: "How ma.ny are here that want the water?"
Mayor Milbert: "Eight live on 21st and all eight are opposed." "There are three na.mes
on the petition who want the water."

� Richar Brubacher

Dear Dick:
At the last Council meeting I was asked to contact authoritive agents
of all business places on 9th Avenue North relative to the proposed
pedestrian crosswalk.
This was done and all of them agreed that the proposal was good and should
be adopted.
The City Engineer has a report on the location of this crosswalk.
In Ordina.nce ��33, Section 13, Page 167-A on Pedestrian, it allows
pedestrians to cross at than crosswalk as long as they yield to the
right of way to motor vehicles. This should be removed so that the
rest of the section can be enforced.
Considerable promotion and education of the public would have to be
done to get compliance.
Thank you.

Mayor Milbert: "Did we buy all we contracted for, Dick?"
Mr. Hanley: "Last year we awarded the bid to Cargill." "I thought we had a contract
for all of 1962."
Mayor Milbert: "How much did we buy last year?"
Mr. Brubacher: "We contracted for 150 tons."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr. "It would be to our advantage to have the contract go from the first
of one year to the first of the following y�ar." "We should check on it."
Mr. Hanley: "I wonder if we said to Cargil how much will you give us on the old price,
what they would say."

Mr. Strojan: "I have tired to indicate just where this improvement would be; it was
by petition of the property owners of 707 and 700."
Mr. Hanley: "Are there anyone against the improvements?"
Some property owner: "Can we improve the street without the curb and gutter?"
Mayor Milbert: "Yes, you can, but in the long run you are better off to put in both
at the same time."

Someone:
""I own part of lot 20 and we have curb and gutter."
"I wouldn't think that Lot 20 should have been included." "We have a
double driveway and we paid for it."
"The taxes on curb and gutter only run five years?"
Mr. Strojan: "That is determined at the assessment hearings." They will be held a year
from now."
Ma.yor Milbert: "If the work is in you would not be charged for it."
Mr. Strojan: "Only the ones having the work done will be assessed for the work."
Mr. Strojan: Pointing at a map. "That is that vacated frontage of that vacated lot."
Someone: "is there 115 feet there?"
May�r Milbert: "It looks like it."
Someone: "How could it be a 115 feet?"
Mr. Strojan: "It is figured on the other. side of the street."
Someone: "I would not care what they do, just so they get the water out from in
front of my garage." "It is a regular lakeein front of my house."
Mayor Milbert: "We will have to improve the street by grading etc. before we can do
the surfacing."
not
Someone: "The one on the East is/improved." "He will have to have that street
improved also."
Mr. Hanley: "Going back to block 20, you can say that you can't assess him because
there wasn't any work done."
Pokorny, Jr. ""He is included in?"
Mr. Hanley: "I was wondering about that cost."

The November 20th, 1962.Council meeting minutes continued.
Someone: "They did not have to put in b�:tuminous; they will have to dig themselves
down to China."
Someone: "They will have to go down about nine feet, to get away from the peat."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr. "You do not have to go down through all of the peat, just far enough
to build a good base."
Someone: "We did not have any trouble until this year." "It should be packed."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr. "This has been a bad year, it has been so wet."
Mr. HanZey: "If you do not take the curb the water will just be dumped some place."
Someone: "The cost of the curb would not be to much."
Mr. Hanley: "About $648.00, John?"
Mr. Strojan: "That is figuring both sides of the street."
Mr. Hanley: "John is talking about $1800.00, with the curb."
Mr. Strojan: "It would be assessed or go through the entire group of property owners."

Mr. Hanley: "I thought you said the water was in on this street, John?"
Someone: "They come up from here." Pointing to a map again.
Mr. Strojan: "Some of the property owners have gone a long way to get water." "The
others could probably do that too."
Someone: "Why would he need curb on both sides of the land?"
Mr. Pokorny, Jr.: "If you don't have curb and gutter all .the way the street just want
last."
Mr. Hanley: "You should stop both at a given point."
Mr. Strojan: '�He is asking for 15 feet."

Someone:
"Take it sixty feet."
"It still would not be 115', it is less than 100 feet, 75 feet would
include all of our land."
"Does your land go this far?"
"just as long as I can get my car into my garage."
"You could dig a trench and drain the water off.
Mr. Pokorny, Jr. "What would you have to do there John, to take care of this lake?"
Mr. Strojan: "You will have to take x number of feet where we are going do the re-
surfacing, say just enough so that the water doesn't run somewheres else."
Someone: "If you will just level it out and fix it so I can get my car into my
garage."

Mr. Hanley: "I don't particlarlly care what we do, but we must do something."
Mayor Milbert: "Did you ever get a change to go over this with Dick?"
Mr. Else: "We had a meeting set up but it was called off because one of us could not
ma.ke it."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr. "Do you fee we should have a session on it by .itself?"
Mr. Else: "I think we should examine it and see why it has taken so long to get it
settled."
Ma.yor Milbert: "We will skip it until later."

Mr. Brubacher: "Right on lst there is sewer for the whole block."
Mr. Strojan: "Only those on lst will be able to hook up other than City property."
(Mr. Strojan laid out the ma.p of the sewer seystem and everyone looked at
it to see just where the connections would be.)
Ma.yor Milbert: "That would be five homes?"
Mr. Harrima.n: "Donit they get assessed?"
Mr. Storjan: "No, not on the sewer." "That�is on the curb and gutter."
Mr. Harrima.n: "If you got the sewer we would not put it in again." (Mr. Harrima.n
was answering a property owner questioning the sewer running down his street
when he was already hooked up to one.)
Mr. Brubacher: "The sewer is in the, but not the water."
Mayor Milbert: "The water is in there and they had to take out the pvmp."
Mr. Strojan: "We have two request for concrete work." "I have ma.de engineers reports

tired tractor shovel loader.
Ma.yor Milbert: "Do we have a recommendation?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Mr. Strojan and the Engineering department and the Public Works department
recommend the Catterpillar."
Mr. Else: "Only two of the firms meet the specifications."
Mr. Brubacher: "John would you explain why we are recommending the Caterpillar over
the Michigan when they both meet specifications?"
Mr. Strojan: "I have tired to point and explain by the attached break-down of detailed
descriptions of each of the loaders bid." Everyone referred to the break-down
and read the reasons for and against the various loaders."
Mr. Harrima.n: That is the generalties mow give me the reasons."
Mr. Hanley: "It's all in there if you read it Bob."
Mr. Strojan: "We felt that the Caterpillar would give us good service for ma.ny years."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr. "The one we have is pretty old, and is still in good working condition."
The representitive from the Phillippi Company: "I feel I am sort of left out of this thing."
"I have meet with the fellows all the way thoughwout this thing." "We ma.ke a good loader."
"As good as any of the others."
Mr. Hanley read the Phillippi specifications and :_pni$t��`=ont��.witere they differed from
the requirements of the Cities specifications."
Phillippi Co.: The specifications did not stipulate how you are going to arrive at the
required weight of the ma.chine." "We had to meet the specifications so we
made the weighhe in adding the larger itres; and the 2600 pounds of water
that can be put into the tires." "When you wrote the specification if the
had stipulated weight without ballast or counter-weight we would have bid our
heavier ma.chine."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr. "We are not talking about the basics."
Phillippi Co: "In our merchine it does not mean the counter weights makes that much
difference in operations." "All loaders have counter-weight weither they say
so or not."
Mr. Strojan: "When we tired to arrive at a recommendation we tired to compare the machirnes
with each other on an equal a bases.: as possible. "I think when other
manufactures come 'in with a sma.11er machine it can not be compared with the
larger one." "It was the function before the specs were written and after the
bids were in. -6-

Mr. Hanley: "How does the caterpillar ship?"
Mr. Strojan: "That 21,165�� is the shipping weight of the caterpillar."
Mayor Milbert: "What is the trade in value of our own ma.chine?"
Mr. Strojan: $6,260.00 on the Caterpillar, or did you mean on the Hough?"
Mr. Hanley: "What is the experence on the Hough?" "Why are we trading in four years?"
Mr. Strojan: "It is to sma.11 a machine for what we need and want."
Mr. Hanley: "What is our expenerce."
Mr. Strojan: "It is hard to compare." "The Lorain has been given more of the work be-
cause the Hough is sma.11er."
Phillippi Co. REp. "What confuses me is in calling for more weight and not in calling
for more H.P."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Did you say that the ma,chine we are trading in is: the same as the one
that Phillippi is now bidding?"
Phillippi Co. Rep: "Yes they are similiar."
Mr. Stroj�.n: "That is a 12 and we are getting a two."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Is it the lacking of H.P, or that the building in the machine will not
take the work?"
Mr. Strojan: "It is lacking in horse power and the machine we have now is all wore out."
Phillippi Co. Rep: "John you are not bettering yourself, you are just dragging more
weight around."
Mayor Milbert: "Is anyone else here?"
Mr. Knight of Road Machinery and Supplies: "Mr. Strojan has felt that our ma.chine is a
new ma.chine." "What we did was give you more reach in front and more reaching
ability." "The transmission and torque convert are just the same."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr: "The arms that raise the bucket are ahead of the operator?"
Mr. Knight: "Yes, that is one of the changes."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr. "What is the height of the cutting edge of the bucket when it is down?"
Mr. Knight: "Nine feet." "We make the ma.chine with heavy tires." "it gives more footing."
"I can not subscribe to the fact that this is a new ma,chine." "You folks don't
have to look far to see our machines. "Several of the co�nunities around here
are using them."
Mr. Else: What is this dial a dump thing?"
Mr. Knight: "That is a way in which you can always dump at the same height."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr.: "Is this a feature on the merchine?"
Mr. Knight: "It is an added feature."
Mr. Harrima,n: "It is a$400.00 added feature."
Mr. Knight: "We have a good parts shop." "We have a lot of inechines out in this area; I
am someth�ing like $600.00 below the Caterpillar."

Mr. Knight: "That is not the same thing."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr.: The diala dump thing is just a buy that puts it a certain control
on the work and John is p�t�i�ab�i3�-.-right in saying that he is or sees no use
for it."
Mayor Milbert: "Thank you gentlemen very much."
Mr. Else: "On the cab the heater, defroster and wipers etc. are included?"
Mr. Knight: "All of that is furnished."
Mr. Hanley: "It is all furnished in other words, but it does not show it on the bid."
Mr. Knigtz�: "Just the windshield." "In the summer the back glass comes out for more air."
Mr. Hanley: "It does have everything." �
Mr. Pokorny, Jr."Is the cab detachable?"
Mr. Knight: "Yes, it is."
Mr. Else: "What is the maximum torque?"
Mr. Knight: "We bid a 300 and the maximum is 320 R.P.M."
Mr. Else: "What does that mean?"
Mr. Knight: "What the measuring power of the machine has, its greatest turning power."
Mr. Else: "At 1400, would it be at the ma.zimum?"
Mr. Knight: "I can not say."
Mr. Po�r.ny, Jr: "Tt would be about the same."
Mr. Else: "The caterpillar takes 1800 to produce that."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr.: "That would be related to displacement."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr.: "The engine is engineered to operate the best at that R.P.M."
Mr. Whalen: "I am not going to try to go into the engine torque etc." "I have never seen
a more exhaustive study of the different machines and what they are able to
d4 than the men in the Public Works department have done," "That is where the
machine is sold." "They are the people who have to work with the machine."
"The caterpillar is build by a firm that is just in the construction mechine
field." "We have the top spot in this field in the country." "It would be
impossible to sell you this machine, you can not possibly do it." "What you

two of our machines for 24 years with one major repair job." "That is a

Mayor Milber: "Is there anyone here on this hearing?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Mr. Wilson is here." "The City opposes it."
Mayor Milbert: "You want to speak first, John?"
Mr. Strojan: "Yes, the work was petitioned to get the curb and gutter for 135 feet."
"Part o� the petition was for all the way to Park Lane." Prior to this thing
coming up, Mr. Wilson had placed posts spaced to not allow the movement of
traffic across the park area." "Therefore Mr. Wilson had all ready orde-red
the posts and the curb and gutter would really not serve the same purpose."
Mr. Hanley::."Give Mr. Water wat he wants and leave the rest go."
Mayor Milbert: "This is just for curb only?"
Mr. Brubacher: "If we did this you would want to push this curb in."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Mr. Wilson you are not prepared yet to have a curb put in?"
Mr. Wilson: "Before this we did go to the expense of putting in the posts as Mr. Strojan
says to curb traffic across the park." "As I se it I would want to leave it as
it is." "As for the winter, when the snow gets in there I think it would be
better to leave it as it is."

Mayor Milbert: "Is there someone here to spea� on this sign question?"
Mr. Zaka.riasen: "Mr. Adams of Powell Candy does not want the sign 75' back of the North
curb line of Excelsior Avenue." "He has a new location for the sign."
Mr. Hanley: "I have a new location."
Mr. Zakariasen: "Are you going to let me talk?" "This is the place Mr. Adams would like
to have the sign, it is 50 feet from the North curb of Excelsior Avenue." "It
will hid the ten shed and with the weekly notices that we hope to put up the
sign should b� where it can be seen."
Mr. Hanley: "You were up here a couple months ago ." "The firms in this area have done
a real good job on the area in keeping down signs etc, and I can not for the
life of ine see putting up this sign in this area."
Mr. Zakariasen: "In the location were we are going to put the sign up it will improve
the area."
Mr. Ha.nley: "The tin shed is back out.of the way." "But a sign the size of that one, w
what it will do, it means that we will have a big bill board."
Mr. Zakariasen: "I think you have a point but we have one too." "You have a 200 foot
block." "It will hide the ten shed." This is_a particular bad spot." .The
whole area is a gone one." "In fact we did part of the work." "We feel you
' are mis-judga.ng the sign." "It will be one more thing tha� will build up
Hopkins."
Mr. Hanley: "I can not see that sign in this place, If it was on Highway ��7 see where
coming from Minneapolis it would have value." "I can not see it on Excelsior
Avenue with that kind of traffic." "If it was sometl�ing selling a product;
like Powells' Candy, but they only �iave five customers." "About 90'/, of the
people coming on this road will be people just coming from Minneapolis and
going home again."
Mr. Zakariasen: "I do not think you have the right number of people coming and going
on this road,"

Mr. Else: "If you were willing to be 75 feet before, why not now?"
Mr. Saka.riasen: "Mr. Adams wants it further out."

Mr. Else: "Can we not wait and when a person wants to sell then contact them to buy?"
Mr. Zaka.riasen: "The peition says that you have to buy." "From the practical stand-
point we would like to see you take the bull by the horns and should get
the plan started."
Mr. Timmerman: "The assessment are on a twenty year period."
Mr. Howell: "You would have it in about two years."
Mr. Pokorny, Jr.: "Is there any thought that some of these will be closer to the new
City Hall?"
Mr. Zaka.riasen: "This is tied to the downtow�c plan."
Mr. Br.ubacher: "From the particular standpoint of our talk we are talking about at least
$600,000." ""We would have to sell P..I-.�..bonds also assessment bonds."
"You are t3�inking of $600,000, and I do not think we have over $300,000." '.'We

Mayor Milbert: "Set a hearing on it."
Mr. Vesely: "You must re-zone on any property to be assessed." "To be fair you must re-

Mr. Timmerman: "One turn down and two that said that they were no.t>�.apposed."
Mr. Hanley: "Why not put in Zoning and Planning and see if these people want it?"
Mr. Howell: "How does the Council think about the portion of the people who have signed.?"
"These are 60% who know that it is going to cost money and we know that it
will."
Mr. Brubacher: "You will need a good appraisor." "It must be a good appraisor." "A
general land appraisor."
Mr. Howell: "If there is anything that the Chamber of Commerce can do we will be willing

"The facts on this case are that a sewer was put in on Drillane�Drive."
"It was a pre-fabricated station." "After it was built an injunction
was made to have the left station remove.""Now it is coming up for trail."
"Now we have had to hire appraisers to check on the amount of noice
the station ma.kes." "We do not have any idea what the damage action
will be so we found Mr. Brodie, I had him run two tests; one in the

sound level tests."
"Was it our decision to use this type of lift station?"
"It was our City Engineers decision."
"It was done because it was cheaper to do it this way?"
"It was put in because of cost and because it was one unit."
"Had we put in the other type would the cost have been different?"
"Yes."

Department of Hopkins gave the following information to the City Council:
We request the following consideration for the boys of the Police Depart-
ment for 1963.
1. The official adoption of the new proposed Personnel Ordina.nce.
2. The adoption of a pension plan as is applicable for Police of a
�hird Class City under present State Statutes.
3. The payment of time and on-half of their present rate of pay for
appearances of officers in court with a minimum of one hour per
appearance. We are experienc�ng som difficulty with regards to
-5-
The December 4th, 1962 Council meeting minutes continued.
the present application for officers who are off duty at the $3.00
per appearance payment.
4. That the pay scale for the members of the Police Department be as
fo l lows :
1962 Ra.te
Probationer - 6 months
5th Grade

480.00
500.00
520.00

5. Longevity, as in the Proposed Personnel Ordinance, would be con-
sidered at a one step, $20,00 rate for those eligible for it.
6. The Patrolma.n's pay differential between grades should remain at
$20.00. The differential between lst. Class Patrolma.n and Sergeant
should be two steps or $40.00.
7. The members o.f the Department feel that they should have a one step
increase plus the usual merit increase.
8. Vacation time earned and used should be as specified in the Proposed
Personnel Ordinance.
9. Holidays off should be as specified in the Proposed Personnel
Ordina.nce .
10. That sick leave should be continued to be earned as at present and
accumulated to 120 days however, as an added incentive to those boys
who have accumulated the maximum we request that they be allowed
to have placed in a"sick bank" one half day for each month of un-
used sick leave earned over and above the 120 days of accumulation
the other one half day to be added to the vacation time of the
employee.
Thank you. �
Prior to Mr. Stabnos" reading of the letter that appears above the following took place
before and during:
Mr. Stabnos: Mr. Employer, Mr. Ross of local 224 is unable to be here. I am not �
particular fa.m:ilar with his request and I wonder if you would mind lisson-
ing to this letter?"
Ma.yor Milbert: We ���ill lisson but we will not make any action to night."
Mayor Milbert: "As to the Ordinance on Personnel, we are now in the process of writing
the Ordinance and will tell you when it is ready."
Mr. Stabnos: "Is the request for retirement pension plan a part of the Ordinance?"
May� Milbert: "We can't tell you as yet."
Mr. Else: "Howard did not furnish us with the figures."

Mr. Bentley:
"That was not given to you?"
"I have the plan, but not the cost to the City."
"What the actural cost in to be to the City is what we need."
"Mr. Chairman, I have the cost pretty will in hand." "It will be given
to you."
"The payment of 12 times the salary rate of any of the officers who
appear in court we are having some trouble with that."
"There is a state statute say�ng that it is against the law to pay any
ane to appear in court."
"We get $3.00 for an appearance. "We have a little difficulty with this.'

The December 4th, 1962 Council meeting minutes continued.
"Well, we still get only $3.00 an appearance even if it is our day off."
Mayor Milbert: "The difficult part would be if you had to appear on one of ��ur off
days."
Mr. Bentley: "When we had jury trials." "I have spent a whole day and then had to
work all night." "I was not called and so I did not receive any pay
or a day off."
Mr. Stabno: "Some of the Cities go as high as double pay or time off." "Has the
Council been informed or advised of this?"

Mr. Brubacher: "This I might add; the Police would have for Esther Sunday, this is the
only day, an additional day off." The proposal reads l day for every
four week period."
Mr. Harrima.n: "That would be 13 days off per year."
Mr. Hanley:
Mr. Stabno:
"They do get 12 days because of the exception Dick mentioned."
"You have been supplied data on ��10." "This is on the 120 day of
estblished sick leave, in addition to this to estblishe a sick leave
bank."
Mr. Harrima.n: "What is a sick leave bank?
Mr. Stabno: "When an employee has his 120 days earned then for each additiona.l month
Mr. Bentley:
he works he puts 2 day of sic�. leave r_into a bank and earns z day extra
vacation. "
"We feel that this sick leave bank would be a way of paying back the
fellow who just doesn't take off now and then because he feels he
has it coming and will not get the time if he doesn't." "I don't think
the fellows would do this if their was a sick leave bank."

The December 4th 1962 Council meeting minutes continued.
Mr. Else: "Really, what you are saying is that the sick leave would be unlimited?"
Ma.yor Milbert: "Only to a certain extent."
Mr. Else: "They would not loose any."
Mr. Ha.nley: "I don't see how they would pay it back."
Mr. Bentley: "�xcept that it would be an incentive to save their sick leave."
Mr. Vesely: "What happens to sick leave upon retirement?"
Mayor Milbert: "What happens to the sick leave now?"
Mr. Vesely: "It stays in the bank."
Mr. Hanley: "It would have to be spelled out more." "I would like to look at it more."
Mr. Stabno: "We will give you the supported data."
Someone: "This is an excepted plan?"
Mr. Stabno: Mr. Vesely, and Councilmen, thank you very much for reviewing this."
"We will review this again."
Ma.yor Milbert: Thank you Mr. Stabno for appearing."
Mayor Mil�rert: Mr. Mc Lellan do you have something for us?"
The following letter was read by Mr. Mc Lellan:
We are submitting the following forma.l proposal convering employees in
the Public Works Department for consideration by you and the Hopkins
City Council in preparing the 1963 budget.
Salaries.
We propose adoption of a fair salary schedul for each classification
that will eliminate inequities and provide an economic adjustment in
order to more closely align the 1963 salaries of Hopkins employees with
the community pattern for like work prevailing in private employment and
other public jurisdictions in the metropolitan area.
Vacation
Amend the personnel ordinance to provide for earning vacation at the
rate of one day per month of service for the first five years of em-
ployment; and one and one-quarter days after five years of employment;
and one and two-third days after twenty years of employment.
Sick Leave
Amendlthe personnel ordinance to provide that for every day of sick leave
an employee earns after he has accumulated one hundred days, he will be
given credit for one-half day additional vacation and one-half day of
banked sick leave to be used only in case of long illness lasting over
the accumulated one hundred days and shall not be used in the computation
of severance pay.
Severance Pay.
Allow severance pay for employees who resign or retire measured by the
amount of accumulated regular sick leave �he employee has to his credit
at the time of severance for service.
We are looking forward to an opportunity to meet with you and the City
Council at your convenience to discuss this entire proposal previous to
adoption of the 1963 budget.
Mr. Harrima.n: "I thought we were all through with this."
Mr. Mc Lellan: "We are submitting this letter with the proposal for 1963." "Since that
time we have had a meeting on salaries for at least two classes of work-

men." "The heavy and light heavy operators. "I see that Mr. Brubacher
has done this." "We are satified that this salary agreed to with one
exception." "The Park foreman should be inline with the heavy equipment
operator." "If this was done you would be in line." "Other than that
we would hope that the salary would all be as the Ma.nager has suggested."
"Part of the information given to Mr. Brubacher is from 17 communities
listed." "Four major cities have more vacation time; and five have less."
"St.. Louis Park gives 15 days after five years."
Mr. Hanley: "15 days after five years Max?"
Mr. Mc Lellan: "Yes."
Mr. Hanley: "Hunmun, 15 days after five years."
Mr. Mc Lellan: "We would suggest that the Council gives consideration to this item."
(Mr. Mc Lellan has just read off a list of vacations given by other
cities.) "After reaching 100 days of sick leave Golden Valley and
Hennepin County do the same thing." "It is not a popular item."
"On the item of severance pay we think there is some merit on granting
it." "Severance pay is given in Minnetonka, North St. Paul and in St.
Paul and Minneapolis based on unused �ick leave."
Mr. Else: "When we fire somebody or what?"
Mr. Mc Lellan: "The man must have worked more than five years."
Mayor Milbert: "With certain rules it would have some merit to it."
Mr. Else: "The person who gets fired should not get severance pay." "Certain rules
should be written into it." "It should be for the ma.n that is going out
of the labor market."
Mayor Milbert: "If we showed an interest you will work with us?"
Mr. Harriman: "What are the priority items?" "1. The salaries; 2.
Mr. Vesely: "Do you take in the supervisors?"
Mr. Mc Lellan: "Yes, we take in the supervisors." "You all know that public employees
are invited to join, no matter what his '�'ob." "His wages are dependent
on the Councils
Mr. Harriman: "Who would you consider a supervisor?"
Mr. Mc Lellan: "A working type of foreman." "A non-working supervisor; one who gives
orders." "In public employment he can not be in the barga;_ning."
"We hold no meeting with them." We invite the supervisors to leave."
"We do not ask a ma.n to speak up in front of his supervisor."
Mr. Harriman: "You use the word foreman inter-cta ngeable with supervisor."
Mr. Mc Lellan: '�Yes, I am not much for titles. "We are concerned with the conditions
and salaries etc."

The December 4th, 1962 Council meeting minutes continued.
Mr. Mc Lellan:
"I just would like to say that this is the first time we have not had
to plead for saiaries largers than what the City Ma.nager has suggested."
"It is after a good many meeting, but we now have the wages for the men
that are parallel to ones that are common to ot�Yr Cities."
Ma.yor Milbert: "Thank you, Ma.c, and if there are any changes Mr. Brubacher will inform
you."
Mayor Milbert: "In looking over our attachments I see a letter here concerning C. R.
Anderson." "Dick will you see that Doug gets a copy of this letter.?
Mr. Brubacher: "One thing I goofed on, I am sorry I planned to bring it up before the
Counci�l." "I have agreed to rent to the Post Office for one week one
of the buildings down at the fairgrounds."
"They will be done on the 23rd, of December."
"They will pay us $250.00."
Mr. Harrima.n: "That should be all right." "They have got to have some place."
Mayor Milbert: "Anyone else have anything to discuss?" "There is this letter from
the Animal Rescuse League."
Mr. Dick Brubacher
City Manager
Hopkins, Minnesota
Dear Mr. Brubacher.
November 23, 1962
There was no increase in your dog patrol contract in 1962, but now
due to unionization we find our labor costs increased considerably.
For this reason it will be necessary to charge you $140.00 per month for 1963 to
enforce this ordinance. The board will be $1.10 per day and $6.00
for each emergency call.

matter." Minnetonka covers more area and has more people will pay 45'/0;
Hopkins which has more business area will pay 40'/o and Eden Prairie will

have to come out of office equipment." "The telephone would be over

Mr. Else: "It appears to me that we are working to set up a organization." "Then
if we have a national emergency then we want have any thing." "This

"How was the cost of the car worked out?"
"The men felt that they could get a car for $800." "The Supervisor

Mr. Brubaoher: "The rescue equipment has been given at times."
Mayor Milbert: "Thank you Mr. Ma.son, our next Council meeting will be December the 18th."

other day to do something about the contract."
Mr. Vesely explained the contract to the Council and the Council members ask a good
many questions concerning the contract and as no action was taken Mr. Peterson did not
feel it was necessary for all of Mr. Veselys explana.tion be made a record as it will
have to come up formally before the Council at a latter date.

around Robinwood Lane has been turned down twice. "I wonder if we
could get an engineers report on the possibilities of an alley in that
