ment over Lot 2. Block 3. Sc!iey's Park View 3rd Addition in 1971, for drai.nage
arid storage of water Ercm the cul-de-sac on Tralee Drive.
Mr. Gerard Gaynor has purchased this lot and is now petitioiling Che City Council.

rr?e&ting of March-19, 1979, Council had authorized the City Manager to grant
permission to Steve2 Rice to paint hok rncmbers on curbs in the City.
'adviged that both Mayor Van Valkenburg and he had received several phone calls
from residents objecting to the numbers, together with letters from Mr. William
Iriorn and Hr. Robert De brey who requested that numbers not be painted at their
hojnes. Nr, De brey questioned the aesthetic effect, whether the numbers really
are fuDctiona1 and objected to the procedure in which. the White Rabbit Cozpany
would paint first and then contact residents
the burden of contacting the company on the residents if the number was not
. vanted. Mayor Van Valkenburg asked Mr. Rice, who vas present, if it would be .
possible.to geC permission from the resic?ent before painting the numbers. Mr, Rice
responded that this would be difficult to do becanse many people would notrbe home
and that he had found through past experience that favorable response 17Oilld be
'aBout the same whether or not people had been contacted in advance. Kr. Rosland
advised that staff had polled a number of residents in the. Couxtry Club arearand
-that sonie we& apathetic, others had no opinion one way or the other, sone

suggested he could re-word the leaflefwhich is distributed to homes to clarify

D-;WGER@US WEAPONS ORDDXNAXCE DISCUSSED. Mr. Rosland referred to a letter received
from Darcy Szarzynski of G. D. Anderson & Associates, 7701 Normndalc Road,
requesting an appearance before" CouncLl to discuss ;he dangerous weapons ordi--
nance, specifically use of bow and arrow, and that he had requested Chief Swanson
to review the ordinance. Chief Swanson advised that neither the City ordinance
or State Statutes address the subject of bow and arrow per se biit speak sf danger-
ous wea?ons ar,d trhar: bow and arrow could be catagorized as such if it is-beingb
used haphazardly or recklessly. He stated than zzn officer responding to a call
regarding use of bow and arrow would exercise discretion and if it is being used

recklessly or haphazardly would advise the person using it to cease., brit if it
'wet% being used with care mch 8s target practice, the off her would prbbaH1y
persit such use. .Mr. Darcy Sza~%ynski, Ekini: present. stated that he iia3 spplying
under Ordinance No. 1001, Sec. 13, for a permit to allow his brother, Toin, and
him to shoot carp with bow and arrow in the City, and explained that they had
been doing this unaware of the City ordinance until an officer informed them it
was illegal. Mr. Szarzynski explained that carp shooting is done by shooting
at an angle into the water so there is no danger of the arrow ricocheting, that
it is on a 25 foot string, and is done at close range.
recreational sport would be beneficial because carp is considered a rough fish
by the Department of Natural Resources and destructive to game fish.
further stated he felt indiscriminate shooting could be controlled by issuing
permits only to responsible adults who would exercise care and discretion in the
use of bow and arrow. Mr. Richards expressed concern for others, especially
children, who may be using the parks and creek areas for recreation and that
he did not feel it was a compatible activity. Mr. Rosland suggested, inasmuch as
bow and arrow is not classified as a dangerous weapon unless ic is used recklessly
or dangerously and therefore would ZoE-normally require a permit, that the Darcys
discuss with ChieE Swanson where and when they might be able to shoot bow and
arrow in safety. Chief Swanson agreed it could be handled in that manner.

Police Department.

attorney representing Fabri-Tek, Inc., 5901 County Road 18, and WET, a California

Mr. Reid recalled that Fabri-Tek had executed an Agreement with the City dated
February 26, 1955, in which Tract A, the parcel of land on which the Pabri-Tek
building is located, shall be considered a single parcel of land and that the
restriction severly limits Fabri-Tek's options with regard to the property.

Mr . Roslnnd advised ---__ --- ..-.-- -I'
of South Reniiepin Human Services Council, with regard to their "Proposal for a
Comprehensive Study of Human Services Needs in South liennepin" .
suggested it would be helpful if Edina would clarify its commitment to the
proje'ct, following Souncil endorsement at the meeting of April 16, 1979, and
asked consideration of a $4,008 financial commitment to the project. Mr. Rosland
advised that staff strongly felt that an inventory of human services and a necds
assessment was essential and recommended approval of the $4,000 as Edina's
commitment. Nrs. Schmidt strongly urged Council to m&e this commitment to
South Hennepin Human Services Council, citing that the results of the compre-
hensive study would enable the suburban communities to assess their needs and
present them to the Metropolitan Councii as opposed to having the Metro Council
make the decisions. She further advised that the Hennepin County Board of
Commissioners were considering whether or not to set up a Community Action Agency
which would be a master agency over the suburban agencies and through which all
Federal funding would flow, and stated this would diminish the effectiveness of
the suburban agencies as well as curtail their imput into any decision making
process. Following further discussion, Mr. Rosland suggested this matter be
deferred and a decision be made at the June 18th meeting. No formal action
was taken.

Mr. Rosland recalled that at the May 21, 1979,
Mayor Van Valkenburg stated that it was th2 intent of the Council
ORDINANCE NO. 1222 TO BE MODIFIED TO ALLOW TRAPPING OF NUISANCE BEAVERS.
Nr. Roslaad advised that an increase in the number of beavers in the City has
resulted in a serious loss of good trees in certain parts of the City, and that
under the ordinance now in effect, trapping with use of steel-jawed leghold
traps is prohibited. As this is the only effective means of trapping these
nuisance beavers, Mr. Rosland recommended that Ordinance No. 1222 be modified
to allOT.7 the City to use or authorize the use of steel-jawed leghold traps to
trap beavers which become destructive. Nayor Van Valkenburg recalled that it
was the intent of the Council to allow this exception and suggested that an
amendment to Ordinance No. 1222 be brought back to Council for passage. No
