ORDINANCE NO. 1997-13 ADOPTED ESTABLISHING AN ABSENTEE BALLOT BOARD,
SECOND READING WAIVED Manager Rosland explained staff recommends establishing an
Absentee Ballot Board because election judges spend a great deal of time on election day processing
(accepting or rejecting) absentee ballots.
1

MinuteslEdina City CouncillSeptember 2.1997
Minnesota Election Law has for many years allowed cities to establish an “Absentee Ballot Board”.
The role of such a board is to allow election judges to work in City Hall and process the absentee
ballots until they are ready to have the voter marked in the precinct rosters and ballots tabulated by
the ballot counters. The “Accepted” ballots are delivered to the polls on election day and tabulated by
the election judges. However, until now, Absentee Ballot Boards were not allowed to begin their task
until three days immediately preceding the election. While establishing a board would help, due to the
high volumes of absentee ballots experienced by Edina it was not worth establishing such a board for
the three day advantage it offered.
During the 1997 legislative session the Secretary of State’s housekeeping bill was passed that allows
an “Absentee Ballot Board” to begin the review process of accepting or rejecting thirty days before the
election. Last November during the General Election Edina’s election judges processed over 3,000
absentee ballots on election day. An Absentee Ballot Board staffed by teams of election judges could
process absentee ballots for the entire thirty days before election day, allowing for smoother polling
place operation and earlier returns.
Following a brief discussion, Member Hovland moved the adoption of Ordinance No. 1997-13
waiving second reading:
EDINA ORDINANCE NO. 1997- 13
AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING
AN ABSENTEE BALLOT BOARD
The City Council of the City of Edina Ordains:
Section I. The City Code is amended by adding a new Section 126 as follows:

processing absentee ballots cast by Edina citizens. The board shall consist of a
sufficient number of election judges appointed as provided in Minnesota Statutes
Sections 204B.19 to 204B.22.
126.02 Duties of the Absentee Ballot Board. The Absentee Ballot Board Election
Judges shall meet and take receipt of all return absentee ballot envelopes from the City
Clerk at Edina City Hall. Two or more election judges shall examine and process said
absentee ballots pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 203B.

FIRST READING FOR ORDINANCE NO. 1997-14. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 1230
TO ALLOW THE SERVICE AND CONSUMPTION OF STRONG BEER AT CITY OF EDINA
OWNED PARK AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT FACILITIES CONTINUED TO OCTOBER 6,
Page 4
Minutes/Edina City CounciIlSepternber 2.1997
1997 Director Keprios informed the Council the Park Board, at their August 12, 1997, meeting,
unanimously passed a motion recommending Ordinance No. 1997-14 be changed allowing City
owned facilities currently allowed to serve 3.2% beer and wine also be allowed the option to serve
strong beer. Board Chair Andrew Montgomery initiated the consideration. Currently, the ordinance
does not allow anyone to serve or consume strong beer at Edina park sites, e.g. Edinborough Park,
Centennial Lakes Park, Arneson Acres Park, VanValkenburg Park and Braemar Golf Course.
I
The Park Board suggests that Edina Code Section 1230 Conduct in Parks and Public Places, be
revised allowing strong beer to be consumed at park sites currently allowing consumption of 3.2%
beer. The City would NOT be allowed to sell strong beer, however guests at wedding receptions and
other social event rentals could be served strong beer.
Director Keprios explained the difference between strong beer and 3.2% beer is minimal. Strong beer
has an alcohol content between 3.4% and 4%, where wine is slightly higher in alcohol content than
strong beer. Amending the Ordinance would grant Edina facilities the same flexibility recently granted
to licensed restaurants in Edina. He presented a draft Ordinance prepared by Attorney Gilligan, that
would accomplish the Park Board's recommendation.
Council comments were, what is the City's liability if strong beer were served at Centennial Lakes; are
we losing revenues by not allowing this; why does the City not allow strong beer to be served; and the
Ordinance is archaic, the restaurants are serving strong beer, why not Braemar.
Following a brief Council discussion and informal poll, Council consensus was to direct staff to review
the issues brought up during the discussion and to continue the issue until the regularly scheduled
meeting October 6, 1997.
ORDINANCE 1997-15 ADOPTED. CHANGING THE NAME OF ARROWHEAD COURT TO
MCINTYRE COURT: SECOND READING WAIVED Manager Rosland explained the plat known as
Arrowhead Pointe was developed and recorded at the Hennepin County Recorders office with the
only street in the subdivision named Arrowhead Court. The developer, who originally named the
street, has requested a street name change to eliminate possible confusion with nearby streets of a
similar name and to reflect Edina's Irish Heritage. Manager Rosland noted that to date no houses
have been constructed along the street. For this reason staff recommended adoption of the ordinance
changing the street name.
I
Member Maetzold moved the adoption of Ordinance No. 1997-15, waiving Second Reading.
ORDINANCE NO. 1997-15

DISCUSSION HELD ON EDINA SWIM CLUB'S AQUATENNIAL SWIM MEET Director Keprios
explained at the Park Board Meeting, June IO, 1997, an Edina resident raised the issue of the
appropriateness of closing the Edina Aquatic Center to the general public for an entire weekend to
accommodate the Edina Aquatennial Swim Meet. Following a brief discussion the Park Board
requested the issue be placed on the September agenda. I
The Edina Aquatennial Swim Meet has been held at the Edina Aquatic Center since 1959. In years
past, many complaints have been received when the Center has been closed for the event. The
Edina Swim Club has 200 members, 90% are Edina residents. The Edina Aquatic Center is one of
three outdoor 50 meter pools that continue to host the swim meet. The Club is charged $1,200 per
day ($3,600 total) for use of the facility to host the meet that serves as a fund raiser for the Club. In
1997, $1 1,000 was raised from the event.
On August 12, 1997, the Park Board passed a motion stating the Edina Swim Club move their
Aquatennial Swim meet to the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center facility for their July 10-12
1998, meet. The issue would be revisited in 1998.
Letters were received from Anne S. and David R. Braun, 5104 West 56" Street; Paul Lundsten,
General Chairman of Minnesota Swimming, Inc., 1001 Highway #7, Hopkins, MN; Andy Otness, 5433
Kellogg Avenue South; and John Witzel, Edina Swim Club President.
John Witzel, 5700 View Lane, President of the Edina Swim Club, explained the Club would sponsor
the Swim Meet at the University of Minnesota in 1998 but needs to work towards finding a long-term
solution to the problem.
Following a brief Council discussion, Council consensus was they have confidence in staff and the
Park Board and that a resolution can be reached resolving this issue without involvement from the
Council.
REVISION CONSIDERED FOR DONATIONS. SPONSORSHIPS AND ADVERTISING POLICY
Mayor Smith noted he asked staff to re-examine the policy for donations, sponsorships and
advertising as it pertains to the sale of advertising on City owned properties. Further, the Park Board,
at their August 12, 1997, meeting, moved that the Council consider advertising on scoreboards. More
specifically, the Board would like to finance the replacement of the scoreboards at Courtney Fields in
Braemar Park by selling advertising. Currently, the sale of advertising on fixed stock (as opposed to
rolling stock, Le. a Zamboni or a T-shirt) is prohibited.
If the Council were to authorize a revision in the Donations, Sponsorships and Advertising Policy, the
Park Board would make specific recommendations regarding the acceptable type of advertising and
financing at Courtney Fields and other park property.
Council, following a brief discussion, authorized that the policy be revisited and to include some
assurance that if advertising were allowed it would be in good taste. Alternative revenue sources are
always being sought as well as corporate sponsors and these revisions in the policy could help make
that a reality. It was further suggested the revisions could be on a trial basis.
I RESOLUTION ADOPTED GRANTING AUTHORIZATION FOR APPLICATION FOR A SAFE AND
SOBER GRANT Assistant Chief Siitari explained Safe and Sober is a national traffic safety campaign
designed to reduce impaired driving crashes and increase seat belt usage through enforcement and
public information activities.
i The Police Department has secured a $15,000 Safe & Sober grant to be used to fund overtime traffic
enforcement. Safe and Sober has four enforcement waves that focus on: impaired driving, youth,
Page 6
Minutes/Edina Citv CouncillSeptember 2.1997
seat belts, and safe driving. Matching soft costs consist of operating costs for squad cars used during
enforcement efforts and staff time devoted to administration and educational efforts in the high
school. It
Member Hovland introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:

BE IT RESOLVED that the Edina Police Department enter into a grant agreement with the
