2 "Activity" is defined as a "specified pursuit in
which a person partakes." American Heritage
Dictionary of the English Language 18 (3d ed.
1992). In Frisby, after construing the Brookfield
ordinance to limit picketing focused on a
particular residence, the Court noted that its
construction was "in line with viewing the
ordinance as limited to activity focused on a
single residence." Frisby, 487 U.S. at 482, 108
S.Ct. at 2501 (emphasis added).
3 We believe that implicitly the ordinance
requires that the dwelling be used for residential,
not business or other pecuniary, purposes when
the picketing occurs. The ordinance expressly
states that it is intended to protect residential
privacy. In Town of Barrington v. Blake, 568 A.2d
1015 (R.I.1990), the Rhode Island court applied
Frisby and held constitutional a targeted
residential picketing ordinance which prohibited
picketing taking place in front of or adjacent to
property used for residential purposes "except
where such picketing relates to a use or activity
being carried on within such property." Id. 568
A.2d at 1017-18. The court noted that the
exemption narrowed the scope of the Barrington
ordinance beyond Frisby. Id. 568 A.2d at 1021.
4 A dissent in Frisby noted that the plain
language of the Brookfield ordinance applied to
communications "to willing and indifferent
recipients as well as to the unwilling." Frisby, 487
U.S. at 497, 108 S.Ct. at 2509 (Stevens, J.,
dissenting). The Town of White Bear represents

TITLE OF ISSUE:
Televising of Committee Meetings
BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
In 2021, the North Metro Telecommunications Commission has begun has offering the services of their staff to
televise all city Committee meetings (EDA, P&Z, P&R). There is no additional charge for this service. They
could also televise our City Council meetings at no charge.
Prior to the pandemic, our committee meetings were not televised and out City Council meetings were done by
city staff. We have found it advantageous for our city clerk to attend the meetings to keep her in the loop as to
the actions of the council. She has also operated the camera system.
Staff is recommending that we continue to have our city clerk operate the camera system for Council meetings,
but if the Council wishes to have other meetings broadcast, it may be best to utilize NMTV staff.

RE: Benefits of a County Assessment Contract
Dear Mr. Statz & Council Members,
To aid in your decision-making process, below are several factors Anoka County feels are benefitsof a
County Assessment Contract.
1. Full-time access to qualified assessment staff for residents, business owners, and city staff which
isn’t always the case in other situations. This means any issues can be handled quickly and
efficiently since we employ multiple staff dedicated solely to work in Anoka County.
2. Knowledgeable and trained staff held to Anoka County Standards. It is more difficult to ensure
work is being done appropriately and according to MN Statute when in-house staff are not
performing the work.
3. High level of equalization and economies of scale due to the large volume of parcels under
contract. This ensures that parcels in each jurisdiction are treaded fairly and in a similar manner
which leads to higher quality assessments.
4. Increased accountability with various levels of management including; County Assessor, PRT
Division Manager, County Administration, as well as County Commissioners. Accountability and
the ability to quickly identify and correct assessment shortcomings is limited in other contract
situations.
5. Tax Court – Anoka County typically handles and defends tax court petitions in house and in
certain circumstances outside professionals are hired. Any additional costs associated with tax
court petitions is Anoka County’s responsibility when we hold the contract. This is often
thousands of additional dollars the city would otherwise be responsible for.
6. Proven track record of high-quality assessments that improve over time. This ensures that
residents and business owners are being treated fairly and the various taxing authorities are
receiving funding based upon the most accurate values possible.
Should you have any questions regarding a County Assessment Contract, please let me know.

TITLE OF ISSUE:
Establishing a City Loan and Grant Program
BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
City staff has been in communication with Karen Skepper of the Anoka County Housing and Redevelopment
Authority (HRA) regarding a loan and grant program. The program was originally established as part of the

the grantee for their funds to be the City itself.
With this in mind, city staff recommends establishing the Revolving Loan and Grant Program as a City
program, with recommendations for awards coming from the EDA. The details of the program remain the same
as established by the EDA last year.
COST AND SOURCE(S) OF FUNDING:
$25,000 from the Anoka County HRA as an initial pool for the program
REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION:
Adopt the resolution establishing the grant program and authorizing the City Administrator to request funding
from the county.

I.BACKGROUND
The Centerville Economic Development Authorndeavors to support a
program of city revitalization. This effort is aimed at strengthening the cityin terms of
market share and physical appearance.
Working with the City, the CVEDA has designed a Revolving Loan and Grant Program (RLGP).
The RLGP is aimed at improving the utility and appearance of downtown businesses while
encouraging the leveraging of private investment which would otherwise not occur. The program
has two distinct components: Loan and Grant. The program is designed to address business
redevelopment needs throughout the city.
The Centerville CVEDA established an initial $50,000 loan/grant pool, through an earmark of the
unds, administered by Anoka County. This pool
of money may be used for either the Grant or Loan Portion of the program.
The Centerville RLGP is operated with the following program goals:
Provide affordable financing or grant funds to small businesses for program eligible real
estate improvements.
Target downtown businesses along Centerville Road and Main Street with other businesses
located in the City also being eligible.
Serve as a catalyst to leverage private resources.
Require that improvements be consistent with city code. For businesses within the M-1 &
M-2 zoning districts, this includes the design guidelines referenced in city code.
Require businesses receiving funds to be compliant with existing city code or to come into
compliance in the course of the improvements proposed. This includes code related to
signage, parking, screening and other exterior regulations. Whether the interior of the
building needs to come into compliance with the building code shall be governed by the
building code and related city code. Structures which qualify as legal nonconformities may
remain.
