TREE TRIBDIING IMPROVEMENT TO BE ASSESSED ON A "PER TREEED BASIS AGAINST ONLY THOSE
PROPERTIES ON WHICH BOULEVARD TREES ARE TRIMMED.
the Village Council on December 11, 1961 (to approve a proposed tree trimming
improvement and ask for bids thereon, but to continue Public Hearing to,this
date to decide on the method of assessment for said improvement), Mayor Pro
Tem Dickson called Public Hearing on the matter of the Tree Trimming Improvement
as set forth in the Minutes of the Meeting of December 11, 1961. Manager Hyde
advised the Council he had received communications from Mr. Charles S. Hoyt,
20 Circle Vest, Mr. R. I?. Lannan, 5119 Tlooddale Glen, and Mr. Charles Horn, owner
of property in Rolling Green, all advocating assessment on a "per tree" basis
against only that property on which work is done--rather than.on a "neighborhood"
basis as proposed at the last meeting. Mr. E. H. Hedean, 4837 Vestbrook Lane,
spoke in favor of the "per tree" basis, objecting to assessing on a neighborhood
basis. No one was present to advocate the neighborhood basis of assessment.
VanValkenburg moved that the Council go on record favoring the "per tree"
assessment rather than the "per lot" or "neighborhood" method of assessment.
Motion ~7as seconded by Tupa and carried. (NOTE: Please see minutes of action
taken later in meeting, during discussion on bids for this improvement).
Pursuant to action taken by
/'COUNCIL ISSUES PEAIXT FOR MOVING OF HOUSE TO 5205 NINDSOR AVENUE. Mayor Pro Tem
Dickson called Public Hearing on the matter of Plr. Ralph Sampson's request for
permit to move a one-family dwelling from 6142 Oliver Avenue to 5208 Windsor
Avenue--this hearing being pursuant to Council's action of December 11.
Hyde presented a letter of concurrence with Mr. Sampson's proposal, signed by
Messrs. K. Stevens, 5217, Stanley Orazem, 5213, Charles E. Slocum, 5204, and
E .M. Toft , 5209 Vindsor Aveniie -- said proposal including complete restoration
and decoration of house and garage, grading and establishment .of lawn on grounds
as soon as weather allows, and utilization of dwelling as Mr. Sampson's residence
and not as a speculative venture. Mr. J. J. Marthaler, 5205 Windsor Ave., told
Council he lives directly across the street from this property; that it is his
opinion the letter of concurrence was signed by neighbors only because they feel
this is the best they can get on this land, which has been vacant for fifteen
years. He said he cannot understand why this dwel.ling should be considered
compatible with his neighborhood when it was rejected for Zenith Avenue.
Petitioner Sampson showed pictures of the homes on the street (FJindsor) reciting
their ages and dimensions as compared with his house. He told Council the lot
in question is undesirable in that it backs to the railroad trackssand is oddly
shaped; that he plans on brick-veneering the front of the house, putting in a
driveway and landscaping the property. Planning Director Hite reminded Council
that by authority of Ordinance No. 52A, adopted by Council in March of 1960,
moving permits require action by the Building Inspector only, and hearings before
neither Planning Commission nor Council. Asked by Mr. Dickson if there were any
reason why the permit should not be issued, Mr. Hite replied that there are none.
VanValkenburg moved that permit to move be granted. Motion seconded by MacMillan
and carried.
COUNCIL REMOVES SUSPENSION OF tJONG' S GRANDVIEW CAFE FOOD ESTABLISHMZNT LICENSE
FOR 30 DAYS, SUBJECT TO OWNER'S tEETING CERTAIN TERMS. This being the next
Regular Village Council Meeting to be held after the suspension', December 13,
1961, by the Public Health Sanitarian of'the Food Establishment License issued
to Mabel Wong dba lqong's Grandview Cafe, 5002 Vernon Avenue, Manager Hyde
presented to the Village Council a memorandum dated January 5, 1962, which,
based on an inspection made by the Sanitarian January 3, 1962, recommended
that the suspension be temporarily removed for a period of thirty days,
subject to the owner's meeting eight stipulations stated in the memorandum.
Manager's memorandum was accompanied by a report of inspections of the cafe
by J. H. Hensley, Public Health Sanitarian, and conditions found on such
inspections, on November 3, 1960, September 6, December 13 and December 18,
1961, and January 3, 1962. Mr. Hyde confirmed his recommendation verbally,
in public meeting. Asked by Council when the 30 days' removal should begin,

Tupa moved that suspension be removed for 30 days, beginning January 8,
subject to the licensee's meeting the eight stipulations contained in Manager
Hyde's recommendation.
Attorney Richard E. Olson, representing Firs. Mabel l'fong, reviewed the matter
of the Village's complaint against Mrs. Iilong for violation of Village Ordinances
Nos. 151A and 20, now under advisement by the Special Judge of Munlcipal Court;
stating that the only question before the Court is whether or not Mrs. Uong is
guilty of violating the ordinances, but that Mr. Hensley has been raising the
question of whether or not Bong's Cafe is dirty and a nkenace to public health.
He asked that the Council sit as the Board of Health, to interrogate Mrs. b7ong,
Mr. Hensley, and anybody else, saying the Sanitarian should be allowed to state
publicly what he found and then be questioned on his statement; that Wong's Cafe
has nothing to hide.
Mr. Olson stated that State Health Inspectors, Mr. E1oods, Mr. Hunt, and Mr. , had been in the restaurant at least three times within the last month,
issuing no orders to the 17ongs; that Mr. Woods of the State Health Department
says he does not wish to become involved with the Village's problem with its
ordinances but that as far as the State is concerned the restaurant is open and
will remain open (See Mr. Hensley's report to Council, in connection with later
part of this meeting).

that it is-as clean as her own kitchen.
pictures were obtained on at least one of the inspections and can be shown if
Council wishes.
At lir. Olson's statemmt to the Council that there is some question as to
the validity of the Ordinance on which Mr. Hensley's December 13th suspension
of the Wong license is based, Village Attorney Hasselquist advised Mr. Olson
that a Village Council Meeting is not the place in which to argue the
constitutionality of the Ordinance.

action to temporarily remove the suspension.

recommendation and accompanying inspection report by Nr. Hensley, suggesting that

being recessed by common consent of Council to give Nr. Olson andshis client

six years under the same management, during which time it has been inspected by
the SCate Health Department periodically, without orders for correction; and has
had inspection by the Village Health- Of,ficer, Dr. Rockwell, at least once a year--
Dr. Rockwell finding the establishment to be satisfactory as late as 1959. At
this point Nr. Hensley took exception to Mr. Olson's earlier report that State
had inspected Wong's Cafe at least three times during the last month. He told
Council that he had called Mr. Hunt, Director of Restaurant Inspections far the
State Health Department, this evening, after Mr. Olson's statement, and had been
informed by Mr. Hunt that the last inspection made by his Department was back in
September of 1961, when he visited the establishment with Mr. Hensley and Mr.
Olson.
violations listed, admitting the conditions existed, explaining Erom the Wongs'
point of view the reasons for the conditions cited, and asking Hr. Hensley's
interpretation on certain points for Council's hearing. As an example, it was
determined that "Food contaiminated with insects" means not that the chow mein
had either cockroaches or spiders in it, but that there were weevils in the flour--
that 'beevils come in all flour", according to Mr. Olson.

employed an exterminatorto rid the establishment of rodents; that exterminator
had placed cups of sCrychnine-grain in the basement; that the persons cleaning
the basement had overturned these containers, spilling this grain around the .
floor and food storage shelves, and that this has now been cleaned up.
Hensley advised the Council that, exterminator or no, it is the licensee's
responsibility to keep poisoned grain away from the f6od.

Nayor Fro Tem Dickson told Mr. Olson that in his own opinion, some of the
items listed in Mr. Hensley's inspection report were not too difficult to
correct, and that had they been corrected promptly there would have been no
problem.
Mr. Olson claimed "police tactics" on the part of the Village, stating
that on his inspection of December 18, 1961, Mr. Hensley was accompanied by Mr.
Harvey McPhee, Sanitarian for St.Louis Park, who repeatedly stated to Mr. Olson
during said inspection that "he had just come along" with Mr. Hensley, whereas
Olson t7as informed after the inspection that McPhee had been sworn in by Manager
Hyde as an Edina Deputy Health Officer just before the inspection. Manager
Hyde categorically denied that McPhee had been sworn in by him as any Edina
official.
Mr. Olson also charged he had daily demanded that the Manager, Attorney,
and Sanitarian "arrest Mrs. Wong and throw her in jail", but that they had
failed to do so. Blessrs. Hyde, Hasselquist and Hensley all denied they had
received such daily demands fromMr. Olson.

Bids covering bids taken today on the Tree Trimming Improvement discussed earlier
this evening (wnich for the purposes of the record shall hereinafter be referred
to as TmE TRIMMING IMPROVEMENT NO. T-3. Tabulation showed receipt of four bids,
none of the bidders having bid on a comple'tion date of March 15, 1962. ' On a
completion date of December 31, 1962, the bid of Lakeland Tree Service ~7as low,
at $8,515.00; Fournier Tree Service,.high bidder at $19,820.00; Minnesota Tree
Service, second-low, at $11,451.00; and Northern States Tree Service (which was
10W bidder on the last Edina tree contract), third-low at $12,867.75. Lakeland's
bid was $6.65 per tree for Trimming, $5.50 per cable, $8.00 per bolt, and $35.00
per removal. Manager Hyde asked that award of contract be deferred until the
Village has had opportunity to thoroughly check the 'low bidder's work in Richfield.
He told Council this firm will attempt to get work in private yards while they
are here in Edina; that they do not have the power bucket equipment which the
other firms have; that they have promised to get a chipper if they are awarded
the contract; that this is a young firm, trying to get established. Mr. George
McGinnis, 2 Circle Nest, inquired about cabling cost, and about the number of
trees for which he will be charged. He was advised the trimming chart shows
his lot to have eleven trees to be trimmed. At a remark by Mr. French, to effect
that willows (of which Mr. McGinnis has four) are not a good boulevard tree,
the owner suggested that tfhese trees remain untrimmed. No action on this.
Mrs. G. M. Stenson inquired as to price contractor would charge for trees on
private property; was advised this Gould be by negotiation between contractor
and owner, and in no way a part of Village contract. Nr. M. T. Battin, 21
Circle West, inquired as to whether he would be relieved of an assessment if
he had his boulevard trees trimmed under Drivate contract.
Manager Hyde presented Tabulation of

FOR TREE TRIMMING ON BOULEVARDS AND FOR APPLICATIONS FOR ASSESSMENT RELIEB. Mr.
Battin's question occasioned some discussion, with Mr. French reporting that
some deadline should be established by Council to eliminate confusion; that he
feels April 15, 1962, snould be a fair deadline, giving owners an opportunity
to have the work done privately if they so 17ish; also, that after an application
for assessment relief is received, the Village will have opportunity to check the
work done and inform owner as to its compliance with Village spec-ifi-cations or
the necessity of having additional work performed.

Hyde has since attended a meeting of municipality officials, at which this
bill was discussed and that he now has a model ordinance for Council review.
He told Council this new bill will not affect many in Edina--that one hardware,
one grocery, and one drug store, would probably be the only establishments
affected. Village Attorney Hasselquist suggested that possibly this Council
might wish to delay passage of an ordinance, pending experience by neighboring
municipalities which are more vitally affected. Mr. Hyde to have copies of

entitled proposed improvements.
that, rather than explain the various proposed improvements throughout the
evening as the hearings progressed, plans and estimates for the various
improvements will be presented now.
from the most economically feasible and practical po'int of view; that, if the
streets are to be torm up for one improvement now, it is more e.conomica1 and
