Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, Interim Director of Community Development Jess Anderson, City Clerk Barb Suciu, and City Attorney Jason Hill. CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS Mayor Graves asked if there was any discussion of the agenda or agenda items. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated she had a change to the minutes for the Study Session on page 1, second paragraph housing provider should read “provide better housing through code enforcement.” Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked if Consent Agenda Item 6j., Resolution Acknowledging Awarded Funds for Livable Communities Act’s Livable Communities Demonstration Account Funding and Transit Oriented Development Funding Authorizing Acceptance of Grant Funds for Opportunity Site Development Projects, was appropriate to accept before discussing the Opportunity Site during the Work Session. City Manager Reggie Edwards stated Staff has been looking for resources to assist in the development of the Opportunity Site. He stated the discussion on the Opportunity Site wouldn’t be impacted by Consent Agenda Item 6j. Resolution Acknowledging Awarded Funds for Livable Communities Act’s Livable Communities Demonstration Account Funding and Transit Oriented Development Funding Authorizing Acceptance of Grant Funds for Opportunity Site Development Projects and vice versa. Councilmember Kragness stated on page 2 of the March 13, 2023, Regular Session minutes, there is an error that she mentioned previously that was not corrected accurately regarding feeling conflicted. It was Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson who stated she was conflicted and not Councilmember Butler. MISCELLANEOUS 3/27/23 -2- Councilmember Jerzak noted he previously stated he would not be comfortable accepting any grants until there is a grant policy in place. In the interest of being collaborative, he will no longer pull grant items from the Consent Agenda as Staff is working toward a grant policy. Councilmember Jerzak noted that in the agenda there are several time-sensitive items, but there needs to be a time set to discuss the increase in the number of violent crimes in Brooklyn Center. The community needs to hear from the Council, and they should schedule a meeting within the week. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated she can make herself available for a meeting. Mayor Graves stated she plans to attend a regional meeting on violent crime on Wednesday, March 29, 2023. It would make sense for her to attend that meeting so they understand how Brooklyn Center can work with jurisdictional partners. Councilmember Jerzak noted his understanding of Mayor Graves’ perspective. However, it is very pressing to address the issue of violent crime, particularly with the shooting events of March 26, 2023, in mind. Mayor Graves stated she shares Councilmember Jerzak’s concerns, noting the City is in a better place than last year as there are more officers in the City as the Police Department is fully funded. Also, there is value in continuing to collaborate across cities. Councilmember Butler agreed she has concerns about violent crime. The Council may not be able to find a shared availability and Staff would be pressed for time to prepare for a meeting. The Council needs to lean on the professionals, so it may be appropriate to schedule a meeting for the following week. Councilmember Kragness stated the Council needs to make crime a priority. It is an urgent matter that needs to be discussed right away, but the discussion must include action items. Mayor Graves stated she will share details of the meeting with the Council and Staff to help develop a meeting agenda. Councilmember Butler suggested each Councilmember email their availability to the Clerk to find a shared time to meet. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson noted there is a Board of Appeals meeting on April 3, 2023. The meeting is at 7:00 p.m. Mayor Graves asked if members of the Council would be available at 6:00 p.m. on that date. Various Councilmembers nodded regarding their availability. Councilmember Jerzak stated part of the urgency issue is to respond to the community and explain what efforts the City is taking. The Council and Staff need to have a united front. 3/27/23 -3- DISCUSSION OF WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEMS AS TIME PERMITS WANGSTAD COMMONS RENTAL HOUSING DEVELOPMENT PROJECT Dr. Edwards noted Jason Aarsvold of Ehlers is temporarily assisting Brooklyn Center as they transition into a new permanent Community Development Director. Mr. Aarsvold stated the purpose of the presentation is to revisit terms approved in June 2022 for public assistance for the Wangstad housing project, review the status and increased financial gap, and consider the option to help solve the project’s gap. Mr. Aarsvold stated in June 2022, the City approved a Term Sheet and purchase agreement option where the land would be sold for $225,000, a Tax Increment Funding (TIF) commitment for the project totaled $482,000, and TIF assistance was pay‐as‐you ‐go, meaning the developer finances 100% of TIF portion and is reimbursed with increment generated by the project. The City’s support was necessary for the developer to successfully obtain tax credits through MN Housing’s competitive process. Wangstad Commons received an allocation of tax credits at the end of 2022 after multiple attempts. Mr. Aarsvold explained like other projects, Wangstad is challenged with inflation in projects and an increasing interest rate environment. The developer is working to solve this and has managed to deal with most of these challenges but is still coming up short of full financing. The developer approached the City to request assistance to close the remaining gap of over $600,000. City Staff and Ehlers worked with the developer to consider the option to assist with the remaining gap. Mr. Aarsvold pointed out the developer worked to solve much of the gap through the assumption of additional tax credits from MN Housing, which still requires approval from MN Housing. They have also increased first mortgage proceeds based on updated financials. Based on a review of updated financials, staff and Ehlers concluded that the project does have a financial gap and that additional assistance for the project is warranted. Mr. Aarsvold stated the proposed City contribution to solve the gap includes writing down the cost of the land to $1. This would provide a $225,000 benefit to the project. Any land sale proceeds would have to be put back into TIF #3 and used for a project like this anyway. This method is viewed as the most efficient and least impactful to the City. This would help solve some, but not all the gap. This option also keeps new TIF assistance at the previously agreed-upon level. Increasing the TIF amount from the new district means the project would have to stay in the district longer, and the goal was to be sure the project could come out as soon as possible to help the tax base. Mr. Aarsvold showed a few tables with the financials of the project. He showed the increased cost of the project due to the increased cost of construction. 3/27/23 -4- Mr. Aarsvold stated if the Council wishes to continue based on revised terms, Staff will continue with the following steps: final land use approvals for the project, Planning Commission on April 13, 2023, and City Council consideration on May 8, 2023. As for the creation of a new TIF district for the project, initial notices would be sent for this district to keep the schedule. The TIF district would need approval by EDA and City Council; it is currently scheduled for May 8, 2023. Additionally, Staff would draft a final purchase and development agreement to sell the property and outline the specifics of EDA assistance. The agreement requires EDA approval, and that is planned for May 8, 2023. Councilmember Kragness asked for clarification on the First Mortgage. Mr. Aarsvold stated the First Mortgage is a calculated amount based on income from the project, and it doesn’t need to be approved. The Tax Credits would need to be approved by Minnesota Housing. Mayor Graves asked what happens if the developer can’t get additional tax credits. Mr. Aarsvold stated then the gap would be larger. Changing the purchase agreement wouldn’t guarantee a project, but it would help them to move in the right direction. Councilmember Jerzak stated his concern about such projects is the added cost to the City for more Staff services such as inspections and public safety. Those costs are not reflected in the City’s budget at all. He asked if there is a backup plan to obtain additional funding for the remaining gap. Mr. Aarsvold agreed any new development has ongoing costs. That is a primary reason for getting TIF moving along. Rentals are fee-based, so that would allow for some funding to the City. Also, the tax base would assist with those increases. Mr. Aarsvold stated as a backup plan, the Staff and the developer have not discussed another plan. The first plan was to bring the issue to the Council to create a new development agreement. Councilmember Jerzak stated his point is there is a lot of ask for the Council, and they only have so much financial bandwidth. Councilmember Kragness asked for more information on the purpose of writing the land down to $1. Mr. Aarsvold stated the City had committed the $225,000 and the TIF. The City has the options of increasing the TIF, waiving the purchase price, or looking to other financial resources in the City. Out of those options, the land write-down would be the best option. It wouldn’t impact taxpayers, it would get the TIF off the tax rolls sooner, and it wouldn’t cost the City anything. The money for the sale of the land would go back to EDA’s TIF 3 which would only go toward assisting another housing project. Therefore, Staff recommended continued support of the project as it has already been approved. Also, the tax credits are hard to come by and fund the majority of the credits. Johnny Opara, President and CEO of JO Companies explained Wangstad Commons has been very successful in obtaining tax credits. The company is also considering re-engineering the project, although they are very happy with the current amenities and plan. The project has also included a 3/27/23 -5- large amount of community engagement efforts and seen community support for the project. Councilmember Jerzak stated he is neutral on the project. The devil is in the details. They discussed the numerous cameras that are planned for the project, but there still needs to be good management to make proper use of cameras. He added it is hard to add another project when the City hasn’t completed other commitments. Mr. Opara noted he has a representative of the management company present. They just received feedback from a resident of development in St. Paul where they expressed their feeling of safety. The developer cannot ensure safety, but they can put safety measures in place. For example, a FOB is required for access to any amenities and the elevator. Councilmember Butler thanked Mr. Opara for his commitment to the project and his passion for quality housing. Mayor Graves noted her agreement. Mayor Graves stated she is comfortable moving forward with the Staff suggestion. Councilmember Jerzak asked if the final details will still be presented to the Council. If that is the case, then he would be comfortable moving forward. It was the majority consensus of the City Council to direct Staff to move forward with the next steps regarding the Wangstad Commons Development. ADJOURNMENT Mayor Graves adjourned the Study Session at 6:40 p.m. 3/27/23 -1- DRAFT MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA REGULAR SESSION MARCH 27, 2023 CITY HALL – COUNCIL CHAMBERS 1. INFORMAL OPEN FORUM WITH THE CITY COUNCIL CALL TO ORDER INFORMAL OPEN FORUM The Brooklyn Center City Council met in Informal Open Forum called to order by Mayor April Graves at 6:45 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor April Graves and Councilmembers Marquita Butler, Kris Lawrence-Anderson, Dan Jerzak, and Teneshia Kragness. Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, Director of Public Works Elizabeth Heyman, Interim Community Development Director Jesse Anderson, Director of Community Prevention, Health, and Safety LaToya Turk, Police Chief Kellace McDaniel, Assistant City Manager/City Clerk Barb Suciu, and City Attorney Jason Hill. Mayor April Graves opened the meeting with Informal Open Forum. Jeff L. noted he has been a Brooklyn Center resident for 44 years. He is upset with some people keeping police busy while another crime occurs. With the closing of Walmart and the recent daytime shooting impacting six people, the Council must stand firmly behind the Police Department. The newly elected Council can return the City from the brink of disaster. Jeff L. added the Implementation Committee is very anti-police. Using the term “murderers” to refer to law enforcement is inappropriate. Such language makes him question the Implementation Committee’s motives. The real problem is the criminals and not the police officers. The policy to not enforce laws should be rescinded, no matter how trivial the laws may be. Safety should be the priority of the Council. John S. stated several community members have come to him and complimented the City Clerk Barb Suciu. He added he didn’t want to miss Women’s History Month without recognizing the impact of women in Brooklyn Center, such as through City Staff and City Council. John S. stated the Implementation Committee has never explicitly said they are anti-police. He explained he is not anti-police, and calling one person a “murderer” does not mean they are referring to all police officers. 3/27/23 -2- DRAFT Julie B. noted she attended the beginning of the Housing and Planning Commission last week. She asked for the Council to consider all Commissions and Committees to be streamed using the Owl to allow for more access. Julie B. added no one on the Implementation Committee is anti-police. Being critical of an entity doesn’t necessarily mean opposition to the entity. Janice N. stated her family moved to Brooklyn Center in the 1940s. She saw someone stealing from the store in Brooklyn Center today, and Staff told her they don’t intervene in shoplifting. That is hard for the parent companies. Kevin S. agreed the Owls are essential to include all community members. He stated he recently walked to the Legion. He suggested there be more accessibility in that area. Also, there should be flags up and have that be a meeting point for different groups. Joylenna G. stated the NYU School of Law – Barry Friedman, is a great resource regarding policing and how laws have changed. She added venting online does not build community, and she encouraged everyone to get to know their neighbors. Joylenna G. stated many of the conversations of the Council are regarding rental units. She asked when the Council will address the issue of homeownership. Homeownership is vital and also allows people to feel ownership of their lives and their community. Joylenna G. noted there is excess in the State budget. She asked how the Finance Commission is supposed to access that if they aren’t meeting until the end of the legislative session. That is a disservice to the City. Joylenna G. added there is a speed limit in which police officers can drive places. She heard police officers racing down the street before 7:00 a.m. when children are waiting to get on the bus. She asked where the accountability is for police officers. Mayor Graves stated the police are not needlessly constrained by something the Council is doing. The Police Department has increased staffing, and they have no direction to not enforce certain laws. Also, the Implementation Committee has not done anything to stop law enforcement from enforcing any laws. Councilmember Jerzak moved and Councilmember Butler seconded to close the Informal Open Forum at 6:07 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 2. INVOCATION Councilmember Butler stated it is Women’s History Month which pays homage to women who have made an impact. She read a quote from Ruth Bader Ginsburg, “As women achieve power, 3/27/23 -3- DRAFT the barriers will fall. As society sees what women can do, as women see what women can do, there will be more women out there doing things, and we'll all be better off for it.” 3. CALL TO ORDER REGULAR BUSINESS MEETING The Brooklyn Center City Council met in Regular Session called to order by Mayor April Graves at 7:08 p.m. 4. ROLL CALL Mayor April Graves and Councilmembers Marquita Butler, Kris Lawrence-Anderson, Dan Jerzak, and Teneshia Kragness. Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, Director of Public Works Elizabeth Heyman, Interim Community Development Director Jesse Anderson, Director of Community Prevention, Health, and Safety LaToya Turk, Police Chief Kellace McDaniel, City Clerk Barb Suciu, and City Attorney Jason Hill. 5. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE The Pledge of Allegiance was recited. 6. APPROVAL OF AGENDA AND CONSENT AGENDA Councilmember Butler moved and Councilmember Jerzak seconded to approve the Agenda and Consent Agenda, as amended, with amendments to the Regular Session minutes of March 13, 2023, and the following consent items were approved: 6a.

Councilmember Jerzak added he had an important opinion at Finance Commission meetings. 7b.

She thanked Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson for introducing the proclamation. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated any community members can email her if they want to get involved in a monarch project. 7c. HIGHWAY 252/I-94 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: PRESENTATION BY THE 252 SAFETY TASKFORCE City Manager Reggie Edwards introduced the item and invited Director of Public Works Elizabeth Heyman to continue the presentation. Ms. Heyman explained the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), along with local and federal project partners, are currently studying proposals to reduce congestion, improve safety, and address reliability on Hwy 252 between Hwy 610 in Brooklyn Park and I-694 in Brooklyn Center, and on I-94 from I-694 in Brooklyn Center to downtown Minneapolis. As part of this effort, MnDOT is preparing a multi-year environmental impact statement (EIS), that outlines the impact a potential construction project could have on the surrounding area, including effects on the social, historical, and natural environment in the proposed project area. Ms. Heyman stated on March 21, 2023, MnDOT released the project’s draft Scoping Decision Document which describes the elements and alternatives evaluated as part of the scoping process for the Hwy 252/I-94 project. In this draft document, MnDOT identifies ten Hwy 252/I-94 corridor alternatives for further study in the draft EIS. MnDOT is currently seeking public comment on this document for 60 days. Ms. Heyman stated in January 2020, the Brooklyn Center City Council designated the “252 Safety Taskforce” as an independent task force of concerned Brooklyn Center citizens, to exam ine the impacts of the project and consider the best solution for the City of Brooklyn Center regarding all aspects of the project. She introduced members of the Task Force and invited them to continue the presentation. 3/27/23 -7- DRAFT David Mulla, the representative of the Highway 252 Safety Task Force and the University of Minnesota Professor, introduced himself. He explained the Highway 252 Safety Task Force assists the City Council and educates the public about safer, healthier, and more equitable alternatives to the existing Hwy 252 / I‐94 routes to promote better community livability, connectivity, and cohesion for the people of our City. The Hwy 252 Safety Task Force rejects the No‐Build as an alternative for Hwy 252. Mr. Mulla stated MnDOT recommends less safe, high property damage alternatives for Hwy 252. MnDOT’s recommended six‐lane freeway alternative with bus or toll lanes has lower safety than other freeway alternatives, higher traffic volumes and worse pollution and health impacts, and worse local damages, including adverse impacts on property and equity. Mr. Mulla stated traffic unnecessarily doubles with the six‐lane freeway. MnDOT’s six‐lane freeway alternative on Hwy 252 doubles traffic relative to 2016‐2019 traffic, diverts car and heavy diesel-burning freight truck traffic from Hwy 169, Hwy 610, I‐694, I‐94 and I‐35W, and Hwys 10, 47 and 65 onto Hwy 252, and increases traffic on local roads at 66th, 73rd, 85th and Noble Aves. Mr. Mulla noted MnDOT’s Purpose and Need Statement sacrifices safety for traffic volume and speed. The six‐lane freeway is not as safe as the low-speed four‐lane freeway alternative rejected by MnDOT. The six‐lane freeway be replaced by the low-speed four‐lane freeway. In MnDOT Meeting discussions, a member commented, “Anticipate questions from Brooklyn Center about why (MnDOT is) proposing to advance an alternative that performs more poorly in mainline crashes.” Mr. Mulla explained MnDOT places heavier importance on increasing traffic speed and traffic numbers than on safety for Hwy 252. The maximum difference is two minutes between the four- lane and six-lane options. MnDOT should eliminate less safe six‐lane freeway alternatives because they have only a “fair” rating on safety, while the safer four‐lane freeway alternatives have a “good” rating. Network crash rates are “poor” for every alternative. Mr. Mulla stated mainline traffic doubled, a 94% increase, for a six‐lane freeway due to cars and a dramatic increase in diesel‐burning 18‐wheel heavy freight trucks diverted to Hwy 252 from outside the Brooklyn Center community. Large traffic increases are NOT safe, healthy, or equitable for residents of Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park. MnDOT’s six‐lane freeway alternatives will carry as much traffic through residential communities as I‐94 does today, which is an eight-lane freeway. By eliminating all lower traffic alternatives before studying air pollution impacts, MnDOT is giving false choices to the public. Mr. Mulla added that traffic-induced air pollution kills people. Damaging air pollution travels up to 1 mile from freeways, affecting all of Brooklyn Center and large areas in Brooklyn Park. High air pollution occurs 500‐1,000 feet from freeways. Traffic‐induced air pollution causes illness and death in children with delayed prenatal development, preterm births, delayed brain development, asthma, bronchitis, lung infections, adults with heart and lung disease, exacerbated diabetes, cancer, dementia, premature death, and older adults with respiratory and heart diseases, cancer, 3/27/23 -8- DRAFT strokes, dementia, death. Death rates from traffic‐induced air pollution in the three zip codes along Hwy 252/I‐94 are 2‐3 times higher today than the death rates from COVID at the peak of the epidemic from 2020‐2021. Mr. Mulla stated in the Twin Cities, asthma death and hospitalization rate is highest along Hwy 252/I‐94. Each year, five people from Brooklyn Center, two from Brooklyn Park, and four from North Minneapolis from traffic-induced air pollution deaths, which is 11 times higher than car crash deaths. MnDOT’s Towards Zero Deaths goal should be to reduce these deaths along with crash deaths. It is crucial to reduce vehicle traffic on Hwy 252 to improve respiratory health for community members. Mr. Mulla pointed out that the risk of respiratory deaths and hospitalizations will increase with a six‐lane Fwy at houses and apartment buildings such as Riverwood, Melrose, Georgetown Park, River Glen, Evergreen Park, parks such as Evergreen, Firehouse, Riverdale, and the West Mississippi River Regional Trail, schools such as Evergreen and Monroe Elementary and Brooklyn Center Middle and High Schools, churches, and 66th Avenue businesses, including Topgolf. Also, exercising will be very unhealthy for residents and their children living near Hwy 252 / I‐94 due to air pollution, including West Mississippi River Trail & Topgolf. Mr. Mulla added an interchange at 66th ignores Federal and MnDOT safety rules and increases crashes. The absolute minimum distance of 2,000 feet is required between an on‐ramp (66th) and an off‐ramp (I‐694), but MnDOT is proposing only 830 feet. This would likely become one of the most dangerous interchanges in Minnesota. Mr. Mulla explained MnDOT has steadfastly downplayed the poor safety of this interchange and justifies it by saying that interchange spacings less than 1 mile apart have fewer severe crashes than interchange spacings greater than one mile. A one-mile spacing is not relevant, as the distance at 66th Avenue is much less than 3,000 feet. MnDOT’s graph shows a 45 percent increase in crashes at a spacing of 830 feet. Mr. Mulla noted the unsafe interchange on Hwy 252 at 66th Avenue and an interchange at 73rd Avenue is within Brooklyn Center’s Drinking Water Source Management and Groundwater Emergency Response Areas. Crashes between diesel trucks carrying toxic substances and cars at these interchanges risk polluting soil near Brooklyn Center’s groundwater well drinking supply, possibly leading to a shutdown of the main drinking water source. The Minneapolis drinking water supply on the Mississippi River in Fridley is also at risk from truck crash spills at 66th Avenue. Mr. Mulla stated the freeway interchange construction has an adverse impact on the property. The largest number of direct property impacts 98 houses, 3 multi‐family, 11 businesses, 1 church, and 3 parks occur with interchange combo 2. The fewest direct property impacts only 29 houses and occurs with combo 5. Seizures of houses, apartments, businesses, and churches have costs ranging from $10 million at 66th Avenue to over $1 million at 85th Avenue. None of their graphs show the additional property impacts such as widening roads. Mr. Mulla explained a single‐minded MnDOT focus on freeway alternatives and their interchanges 3/27/23 -9- DRAFT imposes inequitable property loss on Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park. All interchange options result in large property impacts on both sides of Hwy 252, reduce the city tax base, and destroy community livability, connectivity, and cohesion. An interchange at 66th Ave impacts: 27 houses, of which 10 are seizures, 5 businesses, two of which are BIPOC-owned, the West Mississippi River Regional Trail, and the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area. Thousands of cars a day from northbound I‐94 will misuse this interchange to access SB Hwy 100 by using two successive interchanges as there would no longer be a U-turn option. Instead, MnDOT needs to build a direct connection between northbound I‐94 and southbound Hwy 100. Mr. Mulla stated a six-lane expressway with permanent safety measures, there are no property seizures at most intersections, except at Brookdale includes eight homes, which is the same as the freeway, and 66th would impact one business. The number of property encroachments is less with this alternative compared with encroachments caused by building freeway interchanges. Additionally, this alternative would reduce crash costs at 70th, Humboldt, and, 85th Avenues, each by more than 25 percent. Mr. Mulla noted building a freeway will decrease property values. Property values and City tax revenues in Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park will decrease near a six‐lane freeway. For example, Zillow property values as affected by I‐694 are lowest in the first block near the freeway. Property values begin to increase beyond 3 blocks from I‐694. Expanding Hwy 252 to a six‐lane freeway will decrease property values by up to 12 percent and lower City tax revenues in the first 1‐2 blocks on both sides of Hwy 252 over a four‐mile stretch from I‐694 to Hwy 610. Mr. Mulla explained MnDOT weighs transportation high at the sacrifice of health, environment, and equity. MnDOT should eliminate the six-lane freeway with the four-lane low-speed freeway and the six-lane expressway with permanent safety measures. Both alternatives should maintain bus service. Mr. Mulla pointed out US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) review comments on the draft SDD show that they have serious reservations about MnDOT’s narrow focus on transportation goals and criteria in their Purpose and Need statement, leading to a lack of attention to providing benefits for our local communities, particularly, low‐income and BIPOC populations with respect to health, environment, and equity. US EPA recommends that MnDOT revise its Purpose and Need statement to include protecting human health, community livability, and equity so that underserved and overburdened populations are fully considered when decisions are made regarding the range of alternatives. Mr. Mulla stated US EPA recommends that MnDOT re‐evaluate alternatives and evaluation criteria to include more alternatives that perform well on health, livability, and equity criteria US EPA recommendations to revise the Purpose and Need statement and add back alternatives that MnDOT eliminated are consistent with recommendations of the Hwy 252 Safety Task Force. Mr. Mulla stated the most diverse and disadvantaged cities in Minnesota would be negatively impacted by the current plan. Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, and North Minneapolis are majority People of Color communities according to the U.S. Census Bureau, 2021. Residents are 3/27/23 -10- DRAFT more likely to be low‐income, less educated, dependent on public transit, and less likely to own cars. Residents have very high rates of hospitalization and death from asthma, COPD, and respiratory disease. Mr. Mulla noted if freeway interchanges are built, they will result in the encroachment/seizure of many homes and businesses owned by BIPOC families. Also, Southeast and East Asian origin and African origin immigrant families are disproportionately impacted. These impacts affect homeowners with affordable housing. MnDOT has a history of taking advantage of and destroying disadvantaged communities, and they cannot let it happen again. Mr. Mulla explained freeways inflict harm on BIPOC communities. Construction of I‐94 in the Rondo Neighborhood of St. Paul destroyed 433 houses, displaced 1,523 people, and lost $57 million in home equity. Construction of I‐35W in S. Minneapolis destroyed 50 city blocks and 827 houses, duplexes, and apartment buildings was destroyed. The construction impact history of I‐94 in Brooklyn Center and North Minneapolis has not been recorded but also inflicted harm on BIPOC communities. Mr. Mulla stated further expansion of I‐94 by MnDOT is unwarranted and will add to cumulative adverse air pollution and poor health in nearby neighborhoods of Brooklyn Center and North Minneapolis. The destructive history of MnDOT freeway projects in predominantly BIPOC neighborhoods in the Twin Cities should not be repeated in North Minneapolis, Brooklyn Center, and Brooklyn Park. Mr. Mulla suggested adding the safer four-lane low-speed freeway alternative for Hwy 252 segment and adding a lower property-damaging six-lane expressway alternative with permanent safety improvements for Hwy 252 segment. He explained these additions would allow the Council to compare tradeoffs of health, environment, equity, and property in comparison to transportation. Mayor Graves thanked the 252 Safety Taskforce for their work. She noted she has requested more safety measures be put back into the MnDOT plan, and she would make sure to follow up on it. Councilmember Butler thanked the 252 Safety Taskforce for their time and energy. She stated it is frustrating for MnDOT to not be more excited about passionate community members and prioritize health and safety. The 252 Safety Taskforce has shown immense perseverance. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated the presentation was concise and extremely informational yet easy to follow. She asked for Staff to put upcoming meetings regarding the 252 projects be put on the City calendar. She asked what the next steps are as MnDOT would be present in two weeks. Ms. Heyman stated on April 10, 2023, MnDOT, will be making a presentation to the Council. Staff is planning on returning to Council on the matter on April 24, 2023, to consider how to respond to the public comment period. Lastly, the public comment would need to be passed on May 8, 2023. 3/27/23 -11- DRAFT Ms. Heyman added April 18, 2023, MnDOT will be hosting an open house, and more information is available on their website. There is also a slate of pop-up events, some of which will be hosted at the Community Center. The dates will be made available on the City website. Councilmember Jerzak thanked Mr. Mulla for his information and preparedness. He stated he will listen to both presentations before forming an opinion. Councilmember Jerzak noted Mr. Mulla has extreme tenacity and knowledge. Councilmember Kragness thanked Mr. Mulla for the presentation. She asked Staff if the four-lane option was rejected because it would reach capacity in just a few years. Ms. Heyman stated MnDOT has a multi-faceted approach to moving forward options. That was a portion of the concern regarding the four-lane option. A four-lane option including a bus line is still an option. A four-lane option without a bus route was rejected because it had limited options for public transportation. Councilmember Kragness asked how Staff would suggest handling losing such a large portion of the tax base. Ms. Heyman stated Staff would need to discuss the issue further with MnDOT. Councilmember Butler moved and Councilmember Jerzak seconded to accept of the presentation from the 252 Safety Task Force. Motion passed unanimously. RECESS AND RECONVENE Mayor Graves recessed the meeting at 7:48 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at 7:56 p.m. 7d. DKIC EXPANDED RESPONSE CITY COUNCIL PRESENTATION Dr. Edwards introduced the item and explained the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Implementation Committee along with community partners and public safety consultants have prepared a presentation to present to the City Council to address #2 of resolution 2021-73. He invited the Director of Community Prevention, Health, and Safety LaToya Turk to continue the presentation. Ms. Turk explained she is the assigned liaison to the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Implementation Committee. The presentation was created in collaboration between several local organizations and entities, Staff, and community members. There was facilitation and assistance provided by Law Enforcement Action Partnership (LEAP). Ms. Turk stated there is an Implementation Committee, and the presentation is from a subset of the group, the Expanded Response Work Group. The Implementation Committee is chaired by Mayor Graves and co-chaired by Bishop Julia Gibson. There are several professionals in the group. Amity Dimock is the Chair of the Expanded Response Work Group. Other members of 3/27/23 -12- DRAFT the Work Group include John Solomon, Mark Viste, Julie Bourque, and the Implementation Committee Manager Amina Dedefo. Expanded Response Work Group Chair Amity Dimock introduced herself and stated the Work Group has created an expanded response recommendation called Response Engagement and Crisis Help (REACH Team). The name can be changed if desired. Brooklyn Center should create the REACH team to improve community and police relations, connect calls for service with an appropriate responder, allow police to focus on serious crime, and increase cost efficiency. For example, CAHOOTS has saved millions of dollars annually on public safety costs. Ms. Dimock stated the Work Group researched several community responder programs throughout the country. After an incident occurs and 911 is called, the call can be dispatched to the police or community responders. REACH is intended to be a first responder rather than after police clear a scene. Responders would be trained on police radio dispatch to call for backup if needed. Ms. Dimock showed a list of current community responder teams in cities such as Eugene, Olympia, Denver, Albuquerque, San Francisco, San Diego, Rochester, Amherst, Dayton, Minneapolis, and Madison. CAHOOTS of Eugene has been around for over 30 years and has the support of law enforcement. There is a community in California where the police union has called for an alternative response program. Brooklyn Park is also planning an alternative response team in collaboration with Hennepin County. Ms. Dimock noted only 2.2 percent of CAHOOTS calls required any police follow-up, and only 0.2 percent required immediate police backup. In 30 years of operation, PERT of San Diego has never had a responder injury of any kind. Denver’s STAR is in its first year, and no calls have required additional police support. Ms. Dimock pointed out, Eugene, Denver, and Olympia use a regular 911 dispatch. Durham, Houston, and Austin have a specialized dispatcher embedded in the 911 call center. Baltimore uses an outside agency for dispatch. The Work Group recommends using the regular 911 dispatch as it is the simplest and most efficient way to integrate alternative response to the current method. Ms. Dimock showed a slide with two ways calls are screened for community responders. There would be several call types meant for community responders such as suicide, housing crisis, mediation, noise complaint, and welfare checks. The call taker would check for red flags such as a weapon present, serious injury, or for a police report to be filed. Any red flags would warrant transfer to Brooklyn Center Police Department. The same method would be used for Brooklyn Park. Ms. Dimock stated the categories of calls that are handled by alternative response groups throughout the United States are for mental or behavioral health, intoxicated persons, homelessness, verbal disputes, noise complaints, or a suspicious person. Different jurisdictions have specific terms that fall under various categories. Verbal disputes could include disputes at businesses or within a family unit or with a loud dog. 3/27/23 -13- DRAFT Ms. Dimock added some programs to supervise custody exchanges and perform death notifications. Mental health calls require a particular response to be following State Statute, which would require the REACH Team to be led by a mental health professional and include mental health response training. Ms. Dimock showed a slide with call narratives that could have been rerouted to REACH in a given year. The REACH Team would generally handle calls for a welfare check, unwanted person, civil matters, assistance/police, disturbance, suspicious act, mental problem, narcotics complaints, harassment, customer trouble, loud music, animal complaint, trespassing, drunk problem, juvenile problem, safety check, drug overdose, runaway, escort, and unknown problem. Thousands of calls would fall under these categories in a given year. She pointed out some of the call types have an offensive name and are not necessarily supported by the Work Group, but it is how certain calls are referred to. Ms. Dimock stated LEAP created a call analysis to determine which primary responder skills are required by Brooklyn Center calls. 74 percent of the calls required conflict resolution. Almost 10 percent of calls required mental health skills. Around 5 percent of calls required skills regarding substance use, medical, and case management. Ms. Dimock stated training required for responders would include operational training, scenario- based training, mental health assessment, substance use disorder assessment, mediation, restorative justice, and cultural competency. Not every responder would be proficient in every training type previously mentioned. Instead, it would be a team effort. Ms. Dimock pointed out community responders would not need specific academic qualifications. Mental health responders will need qualifications as outlined in Minnesota Statute 256B.0624. The team should also be reflective of Brooklyn Center’s demographics. Ms. Dimock noted LEAP analyzed call data, and the REACH Team could be eligible to respond to almost 7,000 of the 29,000 calls for service. That is approximately 24 percent of the calls. Police could focus their efforts on investigations and engage in other calls. Ms. Dimock explained Minnesota requires emergency response services be all hours of the day. She showed a graph of how many calls were received per hour in 2019. The Work Group recommends the REACH Team be available at all hours, but with minimal or on-call staffing when there are the fewest calls. The graph showed the fewest calls are between 2:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. If the REACH Team isn’t available at certain hours, it would ultimately hurt the community’s trust in the program. Ms. Dimock stated the overwhelming majority of alternative response teams have a two-responder model. The only exception is a few that have a three-person team. The Work Group recommends a two-person team for the REACH program. Ms. Dimock showed a graph with the annual operating budget for community response programs in Portland, Austin, Eugene, and Rochester. The operating expenses are only a fraction of their 3/27/23 -14- DRAFT respective city’s public safety budget. Ms. Dimock showed a slide with the expected operating budget for REACH’s first year. The first six months would be training and the second six months would be operational. The total cost for paying responders, a manager, office space, vehicle purchase and maintenance, training, and other supplies are estimated to be $729,567 for the first year. Almost three-fourths of the costs go to training and paying responders. The approximate budget is less than other response teams across the nation. Ms. Dimock stated the REACH Team would be on the same operating channel as law enforcement. Co-Response involves a response by both law enforcement and mental health crisis responders who arrive together and collaborate on-scene. Law enforcement clears the scene and turns over the call to mental health crisis responders. Ms. Dimock noted alternative response teams are so effective in part because of case management services for high utilizers. Such services exist in Hennepin County. REACH responders would in stabilizing people in their homes, arrange admission into 24-hour stabilization centers or drug treatment facilities, follow up later with people involved in calls, and refer frequent utilizers to county social services. Ms. Dimock stated if the Council were to move forward with the recommendation, there are a series of next steps. April and May 2023 would include gathering feedback from the community. The final approval by the Council would be in May. June would be the time to hire a manager. July would be onboarding the manager and integration with County dispatch. August-September would be the hiring of responders, equipment acquisition, and planning of the training. October- November would be the training for new responders. December 2023 would be a soft launch and community marketing. The official launch would be in January 2024. Mayor Graves thanked Ms. Dimock for the presentation. Councilmember Kragness noted the pie chart budget is missing a label on the 1.4 percent portion. She asked what it was referring to. City Clerk Barb Suciu stated the portion applies to other supplies for the program. Councilmember Butler thanked Ms. Dimock and the Work Group for their time and effort. The Council received a presentation from the County about a similar program. She asked if the City would receive funding from the County at all. Dr. Edwards stated Staff wanted to receive the presentation, discuss options with the County, and Staff will return opportunities to collaborate with the County and better leverage resources. Mayor Graves pointed out Brooklyn Park’s community response program is called ART for Alternative Response Team. Brooklyn Center has the opportunity to learn from Brooklyn Park and other programs to make the best program for Brooklyn Center. Mayor Graves asked how Brooklyn Park is handling the 24-hour response requirement. Police 3/27/23 -15- DRAFT Chief Kellace McDaniel stated Ms. Dimock did a great job with the presentation. Brooklyn Park is doing a similar staffing model as what Ms. Dimock presented. Mayor Graves asked how expensive Brooklyn Park’s ART program will be. Chief McDaniel stated Brooklyn Park’s is slightly cheaper due to grants and the embedded social worker. However, Brooklyn Center may be able to access similar resources. Julie Bourque apologized for not being present. She was supposed to present the recommendations to Ms. Dimock. However, she had a personal conflict. She asked Dr. Edwards to provide more information on the grant money that is available for the REACH program. Dr. Edwards stated Brooklyn Center has money from Blue Cross Blue Shield and Pohlad that is intended for a pilot alternative response program or other recommendations from the Duante Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Implementation Committee. There is around $550,000 in funds available from those grants for the alternative response team. Staff is trying to determine the best method to obtain grant dollars and leverage long-term resources to share programming with the County or other programs. Councilmember Butler noted it would be difficult to have thorough conversations with the County before the proposed May decision date proposed by Ms. Dimock. Also, the Council would need to know the final cost to prepare for the 2024 budget discussions which start in June, along with the long-term costs of the program. Mayor Graves thanked the Expanded Response Work Group and the Implementation Committee for their hard work. She stated the Council asked for additional community engagement after the other Implementation Committee presentation. She asked if the Council would like additional engagement regarding the expanded response. Councilmember Kragness stated she would like there to be additional community engagement. Councilmember Butler added it is important to have input and final answers regarding the program before budget discussions. Mayor Graves asked Ms. Turk if community engagement could be completed and presented to the Council before May. Ms. Turk confirmed that could be completed and asked how many meetings. Mayor Graves stated only one would be needed as there is more community buy-in on this topic. Ms. Turk stated she would work to have a community engagement session held by the end of April. Councilmember Butler moved and Councilmember Kragness seconded to accept of The Duante Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Implementation Committee Expanded Response Work Group presentation. Motion passed unanimously. 8. PUBLIC HEARINGS 3/27/23 -16- DRAFT None. 9. PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS None. 10. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS 10a. RESOLUTION NO. 2023-51; APPROVING AN AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES BETWEEN THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER AND NORTH METRO CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU Dr. Edwards introduced the item and explained Brooklyn Center has been a part of the Minneapolis Northwest Tourism Board (MNTB) for several decades. The primary purpose of the organization is to promote travel and tourism to the northwest metro area. Over the years, the organization’s membership has morphed and changed. In December 2021, the City of Maple Grove exited the organization and opted to create its tourism bureau. At that time, the cities of Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center were the only remaining cities in the Minneapolis Northwest Tourism Board (MNTB). EDA Project Management Consultant Jason Aarsvold explained in June 2021, both Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park passed resolutions to withdraw from Minneapolis Northwest Tourism. This was done in reaction to Maple Grove's decision to leave the organization and allowed the city time to understand its options before making a final decision to ultimately stay in the organization or create a new organization. Mr. Aarsvold stated City Council directed staff to study the options available and come back for further discussion. Since that time, the Minneapolis Northwest Tourism Board in partnership with the two cities contracted with Clarity of Place, a consulting firm specializing in convention and visitor's bureaus. Mr. Aarsvold stated in June 2022, Clarity of Place provided an update to the City Council and asked for direction on how to proceed. The recommendation at the June meeting from the consultant was to continue in partnership with Brooklyn Park, utilizing the existing framework of the existing MNTB organization to create a new tourism bureau that would better serve the two cities. The Council at that meeting directed staff and the consultant to move forward with that path. Mr. Aarsvold noted on August 22, 2022, the City Council passed a resolution that outlined the conditions under which the City of Brooklyn Center would remain with MNTB. Having determined the conditions were being met, the City Council passed a resolution on December 12, 2022, rescinding withdrawal from the MNTB and approval of a temporary amendment to the existing professional services agreement. The temporary amendment approved on December 12, 2022, provided time through the end of March 2023 for the parties to work out a final professional 3/27/23 -17- DRAFT services agreement with updated business terms. Mr. Aarsvold stated the final terms of this revised agreement are drafted and being considered by the MNTB on Wednesday, March 22, 2023. The revised agreement includes some clarifications and necessary updates from the old agreement. The revision includes the following more substantive changes such as greater specificity around the services to be provided, enhanced and detailed requirements around board reporting back to each City, the term extending through the end of 2026, and inclusion of a provision for termination with 9 months’ notice, rather than 18 months in the previous agreement. Mr. Aarsvold added City representation is modified to ensure the Board of Directors of the Tourism Bureau consists of a majority of members that are appointed by member cities. Each member city shall appoint at least one elected official from the member city, one staff member of the member city, and one representative from a business paying the lodging tax from each member city. The change must be reflected in a modification of the MNTB by-laws by October 1, 2023. Councilmember Kragness asked if it is standard for there to be an automatic renewal at the end of the defined time. Mr. Aarsvold stated the contract would be renewed if no other action is taken by the Council, but it does not require it be renewed. Matt Oquist noted they looked at several other contracts in the region, and it is standard for automatic renewal. A termination could take place at any time if all parties are in agreement. Alternatively, one party could leave with nine months of notice. Mayor Graves noted the changes were to focus more on the needs of Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center. The two cities could market themselves as a cultural corridor and as an entrepreneurial area. Also, it was thoroughly reviewed by multiple staff from Parks and Recreation and the legal team. Mr. Aarsvold pointed out the same item was already approved by Brooklyn Park. Councilmember Jerzak moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to direct Staff to return to the Council with an agreement for professional services between the City of Brooklyn Center and the North Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau. City Attorney Jason Hill stated there is a resolution before the Council that needs to be approved that evening. The motion failed (0-5). Councilmember Jerzak moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to adopt an agreement for professional services between the City of Brooklyn Center and the North Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau. Motion passed unanimously. 3/27/23 -18- DRAFT 11.

ADJOURNMENT 3/27/23 -19- DRAFT Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson moved and Councilmember Jerzak seconded the adjournment of the City Council meeting at 8:55 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 3/27/23 -1- DRAFT MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL/ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA WORK SESSION MARCH 27, 2023 CITY HALL – COUNCIL CHAMBERS CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center City Council/Economic Development Authority (EDA) met in Work Session called to order by Mayor/President April Graves at 8:55 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor/President April Graves and Councilmembers/Commissioners Marquita Butler, Kris Lawrence-Anderson, Dan Jerzak, and Teneshia Kragness. Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, and Assistant City Manager/City Clerk Barb Suciu. WANGSTAD COMMONS RENTAL HOUSING DEVELOPMENT PROJECT This item was addressed during the Study Session. OPPORTUNITY SITE PHASE 1 FINANCING Dr. Edwards introduced the item and invited EDA Project Management Consultant Jason Aarsvold to continue the presentation. Mr. Aarsvold explained on September 26, 2022, the EDA approved a Term Sheet with Alatus for the development of a first phase within the Opportunity Site. The term sheet includes the construction of multiple buildings containing approximately 613 multi-family rental units with varying levels of affordability within each building, the inclusion of space for an Entrepreneurial Market Plaza (EMP) building, construction of an approximately 26,500 square feet privately owned conference center, construction of approximately $13.9 million in infrastructure, and related structured and surface parking. Mr. Aarsvold noted many projects are facing construction cost increases and interest rate increases. Therefore, Alatus has asked the City to provide some financing for the project to alleviate some of the financial burdens on the project. Mr. Aarsvold showed an image of the first phase of the Opportunity Site, which is the area up for discussion currently. He showed a chart with the costs of property acquisition for each of the five buildings according to the Term Sheet. He pointed out the first building is for the entrepreneurial market, the second is a conference center with 24-hour childcare and wellness suites. Buildings 3, 3/27/23 -2- DRAFT 4, and 5 are for apartments, 28 percent of which would be affordable at various Area Median Income (AMI) percentages. Ms. Aarsvold stated the Term Sheet also included that Alatus will construct all public and private infrastructure, including Shingle Creek Parkway improvements, construction of a new east/west parkway connecting Shingle Creek Parkway to John Martin Drive, signal and intersection improvements at Shingle Creek and new east/west Parkway, regional Stormwater Pond system and associated utilities. It was also agreed that the EDA will waive Alatus’ stormwater impact fee and reimburse Alatus for a portion of the stormwater pond attributable to future development parcels. Total infrastructure costs are currently estimated at $14.8 million. Mr. Aarsvold noted the community benefits are detailed in Appendix B of the Term Sheet and include delivery of all the project elements, cash contributions for EMP and Housing, contractor goals, hiring goals based on residency, race, and gender, various lighting, infrastructure, public art, Park and Trail enhancements, and sustainability elements. Mr. Aarsvold pointed out maintenance was also considered in the Term Sheet. As it stands, the developer will be responsible for the maintenance of all the private areas and infrastructure around the buildings, to be specified in a formal agreement. The city will maintain public infrastructure, including a parkway and regional stormwater pond. The City can create a storm sewer improvement taxing district, and there is a need to plan for future maintenance of the parkway. Mr. Aarsvold added the Term Sheet included that the EDA would provide up to $30,209,000 for Qualified Costs and Public Improvements. The funding source is Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District #7, and there is a separate Pay As You Go TIF notes anticipated for each building. Other funding will be sought and can substitute for the TIF. The contract will contain a “look back” provision to ensure the assistance amount is accurate based on actual project costs. Also, Alatus will contribute to the escrow account to cover EDA costs. Mr. Aarsvold explained Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is the ability to capture and use most of the increased local property tax revenues from new development within a defined geographic area for a defined period without the approval of the other taxing jurisdictions. He showed a slide with a graph depicting a TIF example. Mr. Aarsvold stated a Pay‐as‐you‐go TIF Note requires no up‐front funds from the City. Then the developer funds eligible expenses and is repaid with interest, over time, for available tax increments or abatement. There is no risk to TIF or abatement authority if the term expires before a note is retired. G.O. or Revenue Bonds are bond proceeds that fund up‐front project costs and TIF revenue is used to repay bonds. This is a higher-risk financing option. Mr. Aarsvold stated there are several current financing challenges. Inflation in development costs, both public and private, is affecting the Alatus project. Also, increasing interest rates are eroding sources for the project, and the ability to raise funds for the project from investors is diminished. Alatus feels it can still raise most of the funding for the project, but cannot raise one hundred percent as originally envisioned. Alatus is committed to the project, but cannot proceed as 3/27/23 -3- DRAFT approved. Their request is for some up‐front financing from the City to help pay for project costs. Mr. Aarsvold explained the only feasible source for up‐front assistance would be the issuance of General Obligation TIF bonds. The current ask is $8‐$9 million for Alatus’ market rate building and $7‐$8 million for the mixed‐income building. The bonds would still be paid back with revenue from the project, but if the revenue does not materialize, then then the City must pay the bonds from other City sources. Ultimately, this shifts some of the risks of the project to the City. Mr. Aarsvold added details would need to be negotiated and approved by the City Council/EDA, but generally this risk would be mitigated with a few steps. First, they could start with one building. Also, the City could defer the $3,780,000 land payment for building 1, as it reduces the size of the bond needed. This can be paid back over time, rather than upfront. Additionally, the City could include a special assessment for the public improvements on Alatus’ property and use special assessments and potentially some of the tax increment to repay bonds. There would be no additional tax levy necessary to repay debt in this scenario. Plus, the City would have priority on tax increments. A pay ‐as‐you ‐go TIF note would still be issued to Alatus. Mr. Aarsvold noted there are potential benefits of the approach. First off, the project is more likely to proceed this year; the project will be put on hold indefinitely under the current financing scenario. It could be any number of years until the financial climate improves. Assuming the project gets built as planned, special assessments and TIF will repay the bonds and there will be no additional City or taxpayer risk. Public infrastructure is also installed along with Alatus’ buildings, providing for the additional development envisioned in Phase 1 of the Opportunity Site. Mr. Aarsvold explained there are also potential risks to the proposed approach. Issuance of general obligation bonds does shift some of the risks onto the City. If the City issued bonds and the project did not get built, there would be no assessment revenue or TIF to repay the bonds; the City would then need to repay the bonds from another City source. This risk will be mitigated through the agreement with Alatus, which means there would no City debt until they are certain they have all the other funding to build the project. The investment would not be “lost” as the City funding would be paying for the installation of new infrastructure needed to rebuild the site. Mr. Aarsvold stated this financing model is conceptual at this point. The City Council/EDA is not being asked to approve anything this evening. Before proceeding further with Alatus on this financing alternative, Staff wanted to check with City Council/EDA about their willingness to consider this option. If given the okay to continue, a full, detailed financing plan with necessary agreements would be brought back for City Council/EDA consideration. All the detailed assumptions and specific numbers would be presented at that time. Councilmember/Commissioner Jerzak noted it is a heavy lift for a City. He explained his concerns about inflation, labor changes, and more. There are several asks for Brooklyn Center right now between the Sears site, the liquor store, and Wangstad Commons. It would also be difficult to implement the infrastructure and the first building with no assurance the additional building could be built. 3/27/23 -4- DRAFT Councilmember/Commissioner Kragness stated she is anxious for the Opportunity Site to break ground. She stated she has concerns about the shift from no upfront to the City to taking on $8 million of risk. Also, the City is losing time on TIF. She asked if the City would ask for a TIF modification. Mr. Aarsvold stated TIF #7 already exists, and it is a redevelopment district with a minimum of 26 years. There wouldn’t be revenue on the proposed project for at least two years, and they are already three years into the district. That means the City would get a minimum of 20 years out of the district. However, a new TIF wouldn’t be an option on the site. Therefore, Brooklyn Center would have to ask for special legislation. Alatus has to show it can deliver on the project, and it can with the proposed changes. Councilmember/Commissioner Butler agreed the proposal is a risk. She noted the community has stated again and again that there is not a range of housing in Brooklyn Center, and the apartment would meet the lack of a luxury apartment. It would also promote more businesses such as restaurants and entertainment in the area. Councilmember/Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson asked if the change would have an adverse effect on the City’s bond rating. Mr. Aarsvold confirmed it would not impact Brooklyn Center’s bond rating. Councilmember/Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson asked if the Finance Department has provided input. Mr. Aarsvold confirmed they have discussed options with the Finance Department and the Administrative Department as it impacts all aspects of the City. Councilmember/Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson noted the plan is for the Entrepreneurial Market would be handed over to the EDA. She asked if that is because Alatus doesn’t support that project. Mr. Aarsvold noted there are changes proposed for the Entrepreneurial Market. Originally, it was listed as a 30,000-square-foot building. Staff began working on financing details following term sheet approval. Capital costs for 30,000 square feet building are more than the project can support. Building size and inefficiency also led to a projected operating cost subsidy of between $100,000 and $250,000 annually. Size and design needed to change for feasibility. Size is reduced to just around 17,000 square feet, about 3,000 of which could be for a market rate anchor tenant. The shell would be built and delivered by Alatus to the EDA with tenant allowance and the interior buildout will rely on third-party expertise for operational efficiency. The change would allow the revenue to be neutral rather than a deficit. The changes are more efficient while still meeting the community benefit agreement requirements. Councilmember/Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson agreed the community needs market-rate housing, and she would like to see the housing proceed. She asked what the City can do to maintain the relationship with Alatus and maintain the housing projects as a priority. Mr. Aarsvold stated the Entrepreneurial Market doesn’t have to be built first. The staff was just trying to respond to the requests of the community and Council/EDA. 3/27/23 -5- DRAFT Councilmember/Commissioner Jerzak stated the City needs to focus on what will work rather than what won’t work. Brooklyn Center just faced a blow with Walmart. Issues are filling current rental spaces in the City, and there are several delays in the Opportunity Site project. The Target building is unused. There are several open spots on Earle Brown Drive, and the liquor store is still up in the air. As much as he wants development, they need to concentrate on what will work rather than what won’t. It would be nice to bring more higher-paid individuals to the City, but they don’t know that they will come. Mayor/President Graves asked if there would only be able half the risk with the GO bonds. Mr. Aarsvold stated the amount of the bond will be substantially lower than the $16 million cost shown. The City isn’t going to borrow for the cost of the land, and they are going to work through some efficiencies with Alatus. For the first building, they would need about $4 million. However, it is ultimately for a $95 million development. Absent that, they don’t have any investment there. The next building would cost less but be a similar proportion. Councilmember/Commissioner Jerzak noted the development would require closing down a minority-owned business and shutting down one of the only sit-down restaurants in the City. He asked if that is correct. Mr. Aarsvold confirmed that is correct as the land is already owned by the City. He explained business owners would receive a $300,000 payment for relocation, but they would still be displaced. Councilmember/Commissioner Jerzak stated the business owner hasn’t paid rent over the last year due to business struggles, but they have an opportunity to renew a five-year lease if they don’t close. Mr. Aarsvold explained they expected the Opportunity Site to have been started by now, so they were working with the business for relocation. The closing has been extended, so the current agreement with the business has also been extended. Mayor/President Graves agreed there are concerns. She doesn’t want to lose any community benefits for the benefit of a large developer such as Alatus. However, the City has been working on the Opportunity Site for a very long time, and they have made progress. The Council/EDA needs to do something to promote businesses in the City, especially in light of losing many businesses recently. She added she is weary and hesitant, but not to the point where the conversations need to stop. Councilmember/Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson noted her agreement that she is not ready to give up. Staff needs to be creative and not lose sight of the vision. Councilmember/Commissioner Jerzak stated he could see moving forward with caution to see the numbers. He does not want to kill the proposal, but the Council/EDA will scrutinize the solution as it is risky. Councilmember/Commissioner Kragness added she is interested in the financing options. She wants to see something happen with the site, but she doesn’t want a halfway-done project. The City needs 3/27/23 -6- DRAFT The majority consensus of the City Council/EDA was to direct Staff to continue working with Alatus to deliver a financing option regarding the Opportunity Site.
