MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY
OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
STUDY SESSION
APRIL 10, 2023
CITY HALL – COUNCIL CHAMBERS
CALL TO ORDER
The Brooklyn Center City Council met in Study Session called to order by Mayor April Graves at
6:03 pm.
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 Fiscal &
Support Services Angela Holm, Assistant City Manager/City Clerk Barb Suciu, and City Attorney
Jason Hill.
CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS
MINNESOTA OPIOIDS STATE-SUBDIVISION
MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
Councilmember Jerzak asked if the funds from the Regular Session Consent Agenda 6f.,
Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute All Necessary Documents to Ensure the City
of Brooklyn Center's Participation in the Multistate Settlements Relating to Opioid Supply Chain
Participants, and Minnesota Opioids State-Subdivision Memorandum of Agreement, have been
received. If so, is there a funding plan, and will it be presented to the Council?
City Manager Reggie Edwards stated the City had received one set of funds, but Staff had not
decided how to use the funds. He invited Finance Director Angela Holm to answer the question
further.
Ms. Holm explained the item Regular Session Consent Agenda 6f., Resolution Authorizing the
City Manager to Execute All Necessary Documents to Ensure the City of Brooklyn Center's
Participation in the Multistate Settlements Relating to Opioid Supply Chain Participants, and
Minnesota Opioids State-Subdivision Memorandum of Agreement, is the second settlement. The
Council already voted on the first settlement, and the City has received two payments of $10,000
for the first settlement. Staff doesn't know what funds would be obtained from the second
settlement.
4/10/23 -2- DRAFT
Councilmember Jerzak noted there has to be a majority to opt-in for executing the payments. He
asked about the chances for everyone to opt-in and the charges. Ms. Holm stated the amount
varies by the number of entities that opt-in, but there is a trend that most people are opting in.
CORRECTION TO MARCH 27, 2023, REGULAR SESSION MINUTES
Councilmember Jerzak stated on page 6 of the draft minutes for March 27, 2023. Regular Session
has a quote that should be allotted to Councilmember Kragness instead of Councilmember Jerzak
when discussing the Finance Commission.
MINNESOTA OPIOIDS STATE-SUBDIVISION
MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
(continued)
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked how the funds from Regular Session Consent Agenda
6f., Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute All Necessary Documents to Ensure the
City of Brooklyn Center's Participation in the Multistate Settlements Relating to Opioid Supply
Chain Participants, and Minnesota Opioids State-Subdivision Memorandum of Agreement, will
be utilized.
Dr. Edwards stated the Finance Department has a system to track and allot funds received.
However, there is no current expenditure plan for the funds. The Departments will come together
to determine how to spend.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked the potential spending be presented to the Council. Dr.
Edwards confirmed the item would return to the Council.
Mayor Graves stated she would like to start open forum sooner.
ADDRESSING LITTER IN PUBLIC SPACES
Councilmember Butler recognized the efforts made in 2022 to keep the City cleaner. She read
about a city that works with local schools to provide gym credit for mowing the lawns of older
people. Councilmember Butler suggested a similar effort related to the upkeep of litter in public
spaces. Additionally, there could be more official cleanup gatherings at the parks.
NATIONAL DONATE LIFE MONTH
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson noted April is National Donate Life Month. More than
100,000 Americans are waiting on the national transplant list with over 2,000 in Minnesota alone.
17 people die each day while waiting on the transplant list. She stated she has a proclamation she
would like the Council to consider recognizing at the next City Council meeting.
4/10/23 -3- DRAFT
Mayor Graves asked for the draft of the proclamation to be sent to the City Clerk. Mayor Graves
added that May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and she will submit a proclamation to the
Clerk for the Council to consider.
Councilmember Jerzak suggested including information on how to donate in the following City
newsletter.
MISCELLANEOUS
DISCUSSION ON CITY COUNCIL/FINANCIAL COMMISSION BUDGET MEETINGS

budgets, but there is one date listed that she could not attend.
Councilmember Jerzak noted his support of the Saturday meetings.
4/10/23 -4- DRAFT
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated she wouldn't prefer Saturdays, but she would go along

4/10/23 -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
APRIL 10, 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 6:18 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, Assistant City
Manager/City Clerk Barb Suciu, Director of Fiscal & Support Services Angela Holm, Director of
Public Works Elizabeth Heyman, and City Attorney Jason Hill.
Councilmember Jerzak moved, and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to open the
Informal Open Forum at 6:19 p.m.
Mindy B. explained she owns 498 apartment units, and their tenants are concerned about crime.
People are getting mugged, cars are stolen, and random people are sleeping in the hallways. It is a
significant concern, and she wants more law enforcement action.
Matt D. stated he is a small business owner. It continues to be harder and harder to operate in
Brooklyn Center. His employees are extremely scared. He caught an individual stealing from his
store and confronted the individual. The thief said, "Is this merchandise worth your life?"
Matt D. added he was recently in the store's bathroom and smelled something interesting. Next
thing he knew, the manager was pulling out an individual from the bathroom who was smoking
fentanyl. He asked what would happen if it was a child or a pregnant mother. Matt D. explained
he received a secondhand high for the rest of the day.
Matt D. stated the City is turning into anarchy. There isn't order or safety, and employees are
terrified. He said it is hard to recruit people for his business, knowing they will be terrified in their
role. The Council needs to restore safety in the community. The number of drugs in the City is out
of control. He asked when people would be held accountable for stealing. Brooklyn Center is a
criminal's playground. Matt D. pointed out several car thefts and spoke for all business owners.
4/10/23 -2- DRAFT
Mayor Graves stated that the Council met regarding crime concerns twice in 2023. They have
created action items that will be implemented. Also, law enforcement isn't prohibited from doing
their jobs.
Matt O. stated Ephesians 6:16 says, "In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which
you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one." He prayed for a shield to be overall
Brooklyn Center Staff.
Matt O. explained he is concerned about the number of police in Brooklyn Center. Last year, the
Police Department recovered 111 illegal weapons while simultaneously having the lowest staffing.
Residents and community members don't feel safe in Brooklyn Center. He asked for more law
enforcement officers to be hired.
Mayor Graves asked when the Police Department study would be completed. Dr. Edwards stated
Staff has a draft of the report that Staff is preparing to present to the Council.
Sherry H. noted her agreement with the previous two commenters. She stated she constantly hears
gunfire in her home. Her family members do not feel safe visiting her in Brooklyn Center. Also,
businesses are leaving left and right. She stated it is the job of all community members to improve
safety, not just law enforcement.
Sherry H. added she got her recent home assessment. Her taxes are increasing, but she won't see
anything from it. She called the City Assessor to ask how the assessment could go up so much
considering the state of Brooklyn Center, and he couldn't answer. The home values are not
increasing in Brooklyn Center because people don't want to move to Brooklyn Center. At this rate,
everyone will own a gun to protect themselves.
Diane S. stated she sent an email to all Councilmembers. She asked if they had received the email.
Many BIPOC businesses are moving into Brooklyn Center. However, there are issues with the
buildings they are moving into. There is poor management and maintenance. She asked for the
City to address the concerns about retaining businesses.
Mayor Graves confirmed she received the email but could not respond due to open meeting law
rules.
Kevin S. noted things are tough all over the City. He stated there is sometimes the Owl at
Implementation Committee meetings, but he would like a similar recording at every meeting to
promote transparency. He added there needs to be more support for veterans and asked the Council
to approve housing and other programs supporting veterans.
Katie W. agreed police are necessary. However, adding more police isn't helpful due to the current
training by the Brooklyn Center Police Department. They are coming up on the two-year
anniversary of her son being killed by police in Brooklyn Center, but there have been no changes
to the officers' training.
4/10/23 -3- DRAFT
Katie W. added it is disheartening to see security at the Council meeting. It is not normal for
security at the Council meeting, and increased security is usually related to Duante Wright events.
If the Council can afford security at their meetings, they can afford security at the businesses. It is
not a good look for the City.
Katie W. stated Brooklyn Center Police Department is fully staffed, yet crime is still high. Crime
is up everywhere. There is a lot of good in Brooklyn Center. Brooklyn Center tends to focus on
the negative rather than the positives.
Mayor Graves pointed out there was an email received from Eric F. with comments to share. Eric
F. is a property owner in the City. Many residents of his units have shared concerns about safety
in Brooklyn Center. Every time leases are up for renewal, he sees more and more people leaving
to live elsewhere due to safety concerns.
Eric F. said he also has seen a trend in his occupants working and shopping outside of Brooklyn
Center due to similar reasons. The residents have a positive impression of the Police Department
but have concerns about staffing and presence. Car theft and catalytic convertor theft have a
considerable economic and emotional impact on victims. One resident of his has lived 20 years in
Brooklyn Center but has thrown in the towel and decided to move to a safer area. Additionally,
retaining employees or finding repair services that will respond to Brooklyn Center after regular
business hours is increasingly difficult.
Bruce P. noted some people panhandle on the side of the road, which is legal. However, he
reminded everyone that feeding the bears would bring more bears to the area. He asked the City
to put signs saying, "Don't feed the bears."
Lori B. agreed safety is a concern for everyone. Studies have shown that having more police does
not deter crime. The Police Department is fully staffed, but there are record-high crime rates. Also,
the police have extremely high salaries that will bankrupt the City. Instead, the money could
support housing, BIPOC businesses, and youth programming.
Lori B. stated more needs to be done to protect people of color. Most of the commenters with
safety concerns are White. There is a Councilmember whose neighbor has had an issue with law
enforcement, both the Brooklyn Center Police Department and the Minneapolis Police
Department. The police kicked down this neighbor's door and illegally searched without a warrant.
The police went to the wrong address, and the door has yet to be replaced. The Police Department
needs to pay for a new entry. The Councilmember living across the street from her is very quick
to help her, but the neighbor feels left out and unheard.
Lori B. asked what was being done to address problematic officers. The officer who kicked down
her door has not received any repercussions for the warrantless search. The community has asked
to stop no-knock warrants as they are unsafe and ineffective, especially for people of color. The
officer who kicked down the door was involved in the inappropriate police recruitment video and
was present for the shooting. This officer did not provide aid to Duante Wright as he lay dying and
4/10/23 -4- DRAFT
harmed countless people. The officer has also reached out to her over Facebook and received death
threats, although she cannot prove it was him.
Joylena G. asked if there is a set response time for Council and Staff to respond to public
comments. Mayor Graves stated it depends on the question. Joylena G. said she had brought
several questions to the City at City Council meetings and through the Implementation Committee,
most of which have yet to be answered. Her asks have been thorough, but she has only received
partial, vague responses.
Joylena G. added tomorrow is the second anniversary of the killing of Duante Wright. However,
there have been no changes to the Police Department, and the Resolution has not been followed.
The Implementation Committee has requested the Council to proceed with its recommendations
several times, but there has not even been a first reading.
Joylena G. explained extensive research had been done, and it is a matter of public safety. Everyone
in the community is concerned about public safety. Dr. Edwards has even directly asked the
Council for dates for the Council to consider recommendations from the Implementation
Committee, but the Council hasn't provided answers. She wondered how much longer the City was
going to wait. The City can't keep spending almost half the budget on the Police Department.
Joylena G. stated there was a recent incident where police pounded on her door at 7:00 p.m. to
deliver a Council packet, which was frightening for her. There needs to be more effort toward
police training. Also, the Implementation Committee has asked to connect with law enforcement
several times. She is unsure why that is such an issue. Studies show that when the community
works together, there are safer community and better outcomes for all involved.
Councilmember Kragness suggested Mayor Graves offer for commenters to speak that had signed
up but were previously unavailable. Mayor Graves asked if the commenters were online, but there
was no response.
Councilmember Kragness pointed out the Police Department is not currently fully staffed, but it is
fully funded to be fully staffed. Mayor Graves stated there are 42 officers currently with the
funding for 49 officers. The police need better training and to be held accountable. Also, the City
needs to focus on combatting crime.
Lori B. noted the life of Duante Wright has stolen from their community two years ago tomorrow.
Julie B. asked why law enforcement would be delivering paperwork for the City, especially
because 7:00 p.m. is typically a busy time for law enforcement. She suggested an alternative
organizational solution to allow police officers to use their time more effectively. Mayor Graves
noted that Community Service Officers had delivered packets to her home, but it had not been
patrol officers.
Paula B. stated it is disheartening for another big box store to leave the City. She asked what the
City was planning to do about Walmart closing. Mayor Graves noted the City has spoken with
4/10/23 -5- DRAFT
Walmart. Walmart owns the building, so it is ultimately their decision as to who to sell it to. Also,
there is a development in the works for part of the Sears site.
Councilmember Jerzak moved, and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to close the
Informal Open Forum at 6:59 p.m.
Motion passed unanimously.
2. INVOCATION
Mayor Graves stated she would like to read an excerpt from her public statement from last year.
Her comments noted the grief experienced by the Duante Wright family and loved ones, as well
as the grief of several black and brown people all over. Young people are a vital part of their
communities, and their voices must be centered. They see people looking for someone to blame.
There has been trauma after trauma. Many people are still stuck in fear.
Mayor Graves stated the solution is building community. Progress has been made, and the
participants of the Implementation Committee have been working tirelessly to research, learn, and
craft recommendations. In recent years, there have been several efforts implemented. There is the
Community Crisis Response Team, regular weekly updates with community interveners, the
creation of Emerging BC, healing circles, Health-On-The-Go, and training regarding opioids.
Mayor Graves added there is still work to do with law enforcement training. There is a new Equity
& Human Resources Director, and all officers have received updated taser training. Several
officers have also been trained on using force, de-escalation, autism, and leadership.
Mayor Graves noted the City has been working on expanding jurisdictional partnerships and the
ability to share data across entities. While crime has increased, there has also been an increase in
recovering firearms. There needs to be gun control and reform at a national level.
Mayor Graves pointed out Dr. Edwards has been doing a phenomenal job, especially as six of the
seven Department Directors have needed to be replaced in the last year. Also, two new
Departments have been created and hired Directors.
Mayor Graves stated there are several other things the City needs to do to ensure businesses are
feeling supported and valued, and a position is to be filled by June that will help to address that
concern. Mayor Graves explained that progress doesn't address every concern, but there is
progress.
She stated there would be a short recess at 7:12 p.m.
3. CALL TO ORDER REGULAR BUSINESS MEETING
The Brooklyn Center City Council met in Regular Session called to order by Mayor April Graves
at 7:19 p.m.
4/10/23 -6- DRAFT
4. ROLL CALL
Mayor April Graves and Councilmembers Marquita Butler, Kris Lawrence-Anderson, Dan Jerzak,

Support Services Angela Holm, Director of Public Works Elizabeth Heyman, Assistant City
Manager/City Clerk Barb Suciu, and City Attorney Jason Hill.
5. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
Motion passed unanimously.
7. PRESENTATIONS/PROCLAMATIONS/RECOGNITIONS/DONATIONS
7a. HIGHWAY 252/I-94 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: PRESENTATION BY THE
MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Dr. Edwards explained the City has been working on this issue for several years. The Minnesota
Department of Transportation (MnDOT), along with local and federal project partners, is currently
studying proposals to improve safety, address reliability, and reduce congestion 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. He invited Public Works Director Elizabeth Heyman
to continue the Staff presentation.
Ms. Heyman explained 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 comments on
this document. She invited representatives of MnDOT to begin their presentation.
4/10/23 -9- DRAFT
Mark Lindeberg, MnDOT West Area Manager, explained the scoping document had been
presented to cooperating and participating agencies for review and comment. Draft
recommendations are now being presented to the public as part of the official public comment
period. There are several upcoming community engagement opportunities. Following the official
public comment period, comments will be addressed. Also, a Final Scoping Decision Document
will be prepared.
Mr. Lindeberg stated the project's purpose is to improve the safe and reliable movement of people
and goods across multiple transportation modes on and across Hwy 252 and I-94 between Hwy
610 in Brooklyn Park and 4th Street N Minneapolis. Project needs include vehicle safety,
walkability, bike-ability, and vehicle mobility.
Mr. Lindeberg noted several project objectives, such as reducing injuries and fatalities, promoting
public health, ensuring solutions are consistent with local planning, minimizing the need to acquire
additional property, and achieving equitable social, environmental, and economic outcomes.
Mr. Lindeberg showed a slide depicting the steps of the scoping process.
Mr. Lindeberg stated MnDOT had heard over 800 comments which range in content. They heard
safety concerns, so MnDOT identified nine interim safety improvements that can be implemented
on the Hwy 252 corridor soon. There is a desire for stronger public transit. MnDOT and Metro
Transit conducted the Hwy 252/I-94 Transit Feasibility Study (TFS) concurrent with the scoping
process, and it was used to inform the highway and transit elements evaluation. Elements that
provide a transit benefit were incorporated into the Hwy 252 and I-94 corridor alternatives. The
comments also showed a desire for increased mobility for people walking and biking. The design
process included improved Hwy 252 at-grade crossings and grade-separated crossings of Hwy 252
and I-94.
Mr. Lindeberg pointed out there was a large amount of public feedback, so MnDOT developed an
EIS. They heard concerns about vehicle crashes, and an assessment of interchange spacing and
crashes across the Twin Cities was prepared and considered when identifying and developing Hwy
252 access combinations. MnDOT heard concerns about air quality, and an air quality analysis will
be prepared for the build alternatives in the Draft EIS phase of the project.
Mr. Lindeberg added comments that showed concern about vehicle speed. A speed and vehicle
safety presentation was developed and presented to the Policy Advisory Committee on October 7,
2021. Similarly, concerns about traffic noise influenced which Hwy 252 interchange designs would
be recommended for further study in the draft EIS.
Mr. Lindeberg explained to address comments about transportation burden and advantage equity,
project objectives were identified as transportation and community-related, reflecting feedback
MnDOT received from participants in the EA phase and scoping phase engagement activities.
Mr. Lindeberg stated the feedback encouraged MnDOT to continue community engagement efforts
4/10/23 -10- DRAFT
and implemented a 60-day public comment period, door-knocking, pop-ups, and a virtual and in-
person public meeting. Lastly, there was a request that all comments be made public, and there is
ongoing coordination to make that happen.
Leif Garnass, SRF Traffic Engineer, began to discuss project alternatives. He explained that the
other options were eliminated in the Scoping Document if they did not meet the project needs or
performed poorly relative to project needs. He showed a slide with a map showing project
alternatives and considerations.
Mr. Garnass pointed out safety informed recommended alternatives. Safety is a problem today for
people walking, biking, and driving. The evaluation considered all users and included safety
performance along Hwy 252. The evaluation considered all access locations of the network related
to the severity of crashes and related to either increases or decreases in traffic levels. Historical
safety performance data was used to understand the potential benefits of the different alternatives.
Mr. Garnass stated changes in severe crashes were also evaluated. Crashes are categorized by
severity, and each collision severity is assigned a dollar value, which varies by state. Crash costs
are calculated based on the number and severity of crashes. Future predicted crashes are based on
potential increases or decreases in crashes and expected changes in traffic levels.
Mr. Garnass showed a graph with historical safety data in Minnesota. Urban freeways have the
lowest average crash rate and the lowest average fatal and serious injury crash rate. Lower
classification roadways have a higher average fatal and serious injury crash rate compared to urban
freeways.
Mr. Garnass noted when predicting the number of future crashes; the speed limit is almost never a
factor. The roadway design and conditions determine the speed at which the drivers are
comfortable driving.
Mr. Garnass showed a slide with four recommended alternatives for the project. The first option is
to leave the road as it is today. The other options include a 4-lane freeway including bus shoulder,
a 6-lane freeway including managed lanes, and a 6-lane freeway including bus shoulder.
Mr. Garnass explained expressway alternatives were not recommended because they have minimal
benefits for safety and walkers and bikers. Expressway alternatives increase traffic on nearby
roads, increasing exposure and the likelihood of vehicle crashes and vehicle-pedestrian/bicycle
crashes on these roads. People crossing Hwy 252 still must cross at grade, exposing them to
vehicles traveling along Hwy 252. All safety evaluation criteria are considered "poor" or "fair"
since severe crashes are not addressed.
Mr. Garnass stated freeway alternatives were recommended due to overall safety benefits.
Potential conflicts between Hwy 252 traffic and pedestrians and bicyclists traveling across Hwy
252 are eliminated. Delays for people walking and biking across Hwy 252 are reduced, a mainline
crash is reduced by over 60 percent, and high-speed vehicle crossing conflicts are eliminated,
reducing the severity of crashes. Also, congestion-related rear-end crashes are reduced, a
4/10/23 -11- DRAFT
predominant crash type on Highway 252.
Mr. Garnass noted low-speed freeways were not recommended due to fewer safety benefits, fewer
opportunities for transit advantage, and no reduction of property impacts. He showed a graph
depicting planning level daily level roadway capacity summary to compare traffic that wants to be
on Hwy 252 and existing traffic levels on Hwy 252.
Mr. Garnass showed a slide with pictures of building access alternatives and combinations. There
are tradeoffs with property impacts. Increased access points would increase property impacts and
decrease local traffic. The combinations still need to be studied. The draft EIS will consider
interchanges at 85th Avenue, 81st Avenue, Brookdale Drive, 73rd Avenue, 70th Avenue, and 66th
Avenue. Community input has shown noise is an important consideration. Mr. Garnass added there
would be continued research into transit service types.
Mr. Lindeberg showed a list of upcoming engagement opportunities. He explained multiple ways
to provide comments, such as written comment cards at meetings, the web portal, mailed
comments, and the comment hotline.
Councilmember Jerzak asked how much the project would cost and how much Brooklyn Center
would have to pay. He noted the City would lose $6.8 million in annual revenue. He asked how
MnDOT could reconcile that.
Mr. Lindeberg explained MnDOT would acquire the land at fair market value that would be taken
off the local tax records. The funding hasn't been determined for the project as the project hasn't
been finalized yet. There is some funding from the Metropolitan Council, but most of the project
still needs to be funded. The environmental document will still take at least two years.
Councilmember Jerzak asked what Brooklyn Center would have to pay. Mr. Lindeberg stated they
don't know what the project is, so they don't know the requirements of the participating
communities. Councilmember Jerzak noted the project would require some money from Brooklyn
Center on top of losing current revenue, which would be hard for Brooklyn Center to afford.
Councilmember Jerzak asked what would happen if a City opted out. Mr. Lindeberg explained
MnDOT would continue to work with the community to come to an agreement. There is an appeal
process to attempt to maintain municipal consent. If that doesn't work, then MnDOT lets the project
go.
Councilmember Jerzak stated he doesn't see the safety improvements they are promising. He added
the comment period doesn't seem to be long enough for the gravity of the project. Mr. Lindeberg
stated the federal process usually allows for a 30-day comment period, but MnDOT has allotted a
60-day comment period due to the extensive details of the project.
Mr. Garnass reiterated safety informed the alternative options. The evaluation considered all users
and included safety performance along Hwy 252, at access locations of the network, related to the
severity of crashes, and related to either increases or decreases in traffic levels.
4/10/23 -12- DRAFT
Mr. Garnass stated comparing the freeway alternative to the no-build option; there are benefits to
the freeway alternative. Delays for people walking and biking across Hwy 252 are reduced, a
mainline crash is reduced by over 60 percent, and high-speed vehicle crossing conflicts are
eliminated, reducing the severity of crashes. Potential conflicts between Hwy 252 traffic and
pedestrians and bicyclists traveling across Hwy 252 are eliminated. Also, congestion-related rear-
end crashes are reduced, a predominant crash type on Highway 252.
Councilmember Kragness asked for more details on chart 7.3. Mr. Lindeberg explained that color
coding reflects if the outcome is good, fair, or poor. The chart also shows the potential cost for the
various options.
Councilmember Kragness asked how much a life is worth. Justin Seben, SRF, stated the standard
is $1,000,000.
Councilmember Kragness stated she would like specific answers on how MnDOT will counteract
the impact on air quality and other public health considerations. Mr. Lindeberg stated they are
promoting public health by creating better crosswalks. A roadway with many stop-and-go more
heavily impacts the air quality than the proposed freeway change. Also, there will be noise
screening.
Councilmember Kragness pointed out that a slide said that public safety is a goal, and she wants
to know how they came to that goal and what they will do to meet it. Mr. Lindeberg stated he
would look for the slide.
Mayor Graves pointed out that the Council's packet is a different PowerPoint than what is being
shown on the screen. She asked Dr. Edwards if the City received a copy of the PowerPoint that is
being presented. Dr. Edwards confirmed Staff had not received a copy of the PowerPoint.
Councilmember Butler asked when Hwy 252 was initially constructed. Mr. Lindeberg stated he
did not know but had received some information from a colleague. I-94 was connected through
North Minneapolis in 1984, and Hwy 252 was first constructed in 1986.
Councilmember Butler noted none of the scenarios seem to benefit Brooklyn Center in comparison
to what Brooklyn Center will lose in tax revenue, property value, local road impact, and the impact
on the Brooklyn Center community. The communities that will benefit live past Brooklyn Center.
Councilmember Butler asked why equity wasn't included in the purpose and needs statement.
Roadway construction has a history of negatively impacting black and brown communities, and
Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center are majority-minority groups. Mr. Lindeberg stated the
objectives include equity because MnDOT cares about those, even though they aren't in the
purpose and need statement. Equity will be considered every step of the way.
Councilmember Butler asked what would preclude MnDOT from including bike lanes as it would
benefit safety and transportation. Mr. Garnass stated keeping crossings at grade is not a safety
4/10/23 -13- DRAFT
benefit for vehicles or bicyclists. Instead, it would be beneficial to have an underpass or overpass.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson agreed maintaining the tax capacity is extremely important
in the City. She asked how many impacted homes MnDOT will do door knocking at. The slide
showed the door-knocking would be completed by April 12, 2023, so she assumed they would
have those numbers readily available. Mr. Lindeberg stated several consultants are working on
that, and there is no current tabulation. However, they can compile the information and provide it
to Staff.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson requested MnDOT provide copies of the PowerPoint
presentation and table 7.3 to Staff for dissemination to the Council. Mr. Lindeberg confirmed
MnDOT would provide the documents to Staff.
Mayor Graves pointed out there has been long-term discussion about Hwy 252. MnDOT wasn't
paying much attention to Hwy 252 and safety issues until community members in Brooklyn Park
and Brooklyn Center gathered money and forced MnDOT to look at safety concerns. Their City's
goal is to improve safety, not to make it easier for folks in more northern suburbs to access
Minneapolis.
Mayor Graves noted MnDOT had used a bird's eye view to eliminate alternatives, so they haven't
addressed public health and tax impacts. It seems presumptuous of MnDOT not to prioritize those
considerations. Also, Brooklyn Center doesn't want people to drive through their City without
stopping.
Mayor Graves asked what the additional safety updates include. Mr. Lindeberg stated he doesn't
have a specific list of the safety improvement projects, but the list is available online. He will get
the list to the Staff with further detail. The fourth slide of the original packet given to the Council
details safety improvements. For example, there will be increased pedestrian crossing time in
Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park.
Mayor Graves asked how MnDOT can conclude the overall impact on the safety of people in the
community without considering air quality. Mr. Lindeberg stated MnDOT doesn't look at air
quality or noise. Their safety considerations related to crashes and traffic.
Mayor Graves asked if he believed air quality was a safety issue. Mr. Lindeberg agreed air quality
is a concern, but it is not in the way MnDOT analyzes safety. MnDOT doesn't intend to ignore air
quality impact.
Mayor Graves stated that if MnDOT is prioritizing equity and recognizes the inequitable nature of
air quality's impact on people of color, it needs to include air quality impact as they offer freeway
alternatives.
Mayor Graves asked what MnDOT will do when Hwy 252 becomes congested again. Mr.
Lindeberg stated MnDOT would continue to consider improvements. It isn't the goal of MnDOT
to eliminate congestion, and MnDOT doesn't know what the future of roadways and technology
4/10/23 -14- DRAFT
will look like.
Mayor Graves added that if the tables included more data on local property and air quality impacts,
it would reflect more on the effect on the community.
Councilmember Jerzak stated the highway patrol would disagree with MnDOT's perspective that
the speed limit is almost never a factor when predicting the number of future crashes. Most crashes
are related to speed or alcohol, and MnDOT's messaging is unclear.
Councilmember Butler pointed out water quality is also a concern. The construction could impact
Brooklyn Center's water access and quality and should rise to the top of MnDOT's considerations.
Councilmember Butler recognized the Hwy 252 Project Task Force members and the tremendous
amount of work they put in. The information has been beneficial for the Council. They have
received pushback from others, which is ridiculous. She encouraged MnDOT to work
collaboratively with passionate, well-researched community members such as those involved in
the Task Force.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked why there aren't any advanced warning flashers in
Brooklyn Center. It seems so essential to implement. Any proposed safety improvement projects,
including an advanced warning flasher, are for Brooklyn Park and none for Brooklyn Center.
Mr. Lindeberg stated he didn't have the complete answer. The advanced warning flashers are
installed during a change in conditions. Some drivers use the flashers as a signal to increase their
speed to make the light rather than the intended early stopping. As for the reasoning for no
advanced warning flashers in Brooklyn Center, he would have to consult with other colleagues.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson wanted data on advanced warning flashers in places like Elk
River or nearby cities.
Councilmember Kragness noted public health is an objective listed in the presentation, and
objectives "were seen as guiding principles throughout the process." She said there are no specifics
on efforts to improve public health. Mr. Garnass stated that public health doesn't necessarily have
strict measures, but a public health priority is considered throughout each process phase.
Mr. Lindberg added that any construction would be done with measures to ensure safe water
quality, property runoff, and treatment. Efforts will also be implemented to prevent groundwater
contamination. MnDOT is not turning a blind eye to contamination.
Mayor Graves thanked MnDOT for their presentation and noted her hope for them to take their
comments to heart.
Dr. Edwards asked if Council would request a non-freeway option to be added as an alternative.
Mayor Graves stated she believes there should be. Councilmember Jerzak stated he would
4/10/23 -15- DRAFT
appreciate an alternative freeway option.
There was unanimous consensus amongst the Council to ask for a non-freeway alternative option
to be added by MnDOT.
Councilmember Butler moved, and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to accept of
the Minnesota Department of Transportation presentation.
Motion passed unanimously.
8. PUBLIC HEARINGS
None.
9. PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS
None.
10. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS
10a. COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS
In January, Mayor Graves appointed several people to fill open positions on City Commissions.
With these appointments, there were still openings on the Financial Commission, and since then,
the Financial Commission has had two Commissioners resign.
Mayor Graves appointed Laurie Moore to the Financial Commission and Gretchen Enger to the
Housing Commission. She noted Laurie Moore applied to both Commissions, and she is on the
Charter Commission. Mayor Graves believes it is more appropriate for her to only be on one
Commission.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson pointed out the Housing Commission hasn't met a quorum
in quite some time. If there are no other applicants, they should consider putting current
Commissioners on multiple Commissions.
Mayor Graves asked how short the Housing Commission is on appointments. Councilmember
Lawrence-Anderson stated they had never met the quorum. There are supposed to be seven, and a
quorum is four.
Mayor Graves asked if Staff has reached out to individuals that aren't attending the meetings.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson explained Staff has reached out to absent Commissioners
and has not received a response. The Housing Commission needs a quorum.
Mayor Graves asked for the contact information of the absent Commissioners to try to get in touch
with them one more time. She will consider appointing people to multiple Commissions if there is
4/10/23 -16- DRAFT
no response.
Councilmember Jerzak moved, and Councilmember Kragness seconded to approve the Mayor's
recommendations to City Commissions.
Motion passed unanimously.
Councilmember Kragness said she is very proud of the Financial Commission and excited to see
what they do.
11. COUNCIL REPORT
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson decided not to make a report out of respect for time. She
encouraged community members to reach out to her if needed.
Councilmember Jerzak decided not to make a report out of respect for time.
Mayor Graves reported on her attendance at the following and provided information on the
following upcoming events:
x Met with business owners to hear their concerns and explain programs and supports
available to them
12. ADJOURNMENT
Councilmember Butler moved, and Councilmember Jerzak seconded the adjournment of the City
Council meeting at 8:40 p.m.
Motion passed unanimously.

PROCLAMATION
NATIONAL DONATE LIFE MONTH APRIL 2023
WHEREAS, Today, more than 100,000 men, women, and children in the United States need a
life-saving organ transplant. An organ donation often provides another chance to live an entire life. For
those waiting for that gift of life —the uncertainty can be excruciating, exacting a physical and emotional
toll on the potential recipient and their loved ones; and
WHEREAS, during National Donate Life Month, we give thanks to the families and friends of
donors who have supported their loved one’s decision to save lives by donating; we show our appreciation
for the professionals who serve the transplantation community; and we encourage Americans who can
become organ, eye, tissue, marrow, and blood donors; and
WHEREAS, last year, there were more than 41,000 organ transplants —a record number; and
WHEREAS, despite the progress, we continue to face a critical shortage of organ donors, and
the number of people in need of a transplant is high, with 17 people dying every day while waiting for a
transplant; and
WHEREAS, waitlist data shows that people of color comprise nearly 60 percent of individuals
awaiting an organ transplant. To increase access to transplantation for everyone, we recommend promoting
greater diversity in organ donation as we continue to advance health equity for all communities; and
WHEREAS, nearly 18,000 people in America are diagnosed with life-threatening blood cancers
or other diseases for which a blood stem cell transplant may be their best or only hope for a cure.
Approximately 70 percent of these individuals need donors from outside their families. Although nearly
23 million adults in the United States are registered as blood stem cell donors, we need more registrants to
help those still struggling to find suitably matched donors; and
WHEREAS, during National Donate Life Month, we thank the millions of individuals across
America who are living or registered organ donors. We recognize and commend the researchers, advocates,
volunteers, and medical professionals working to reduce the number of people awaiting vital organ
transplants; and
WHEREAS, while transplantation continues to increase substantially and meet the needs of many
people with organ failure, we must continue our efforts to shorten the waiting list and encourage organ
donation.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, APRIL GRAVES., Mayor of the City of Brooklyn Center, do hereby
proclaim April 2023 as National Donate Life Month.

Proclamation to Recognize National Youth Violence Prevention Week

April 24 - April 28, 2023
WHEREAS, the National Youth Violence Prevention Week raises awareness to educate
students, school staff, parents and the public on effective ways to prevent or reduce youth violence; and
WHEREAS, the safety and well-being of many students, school staff and community
are unnecessarily jeopardized each day by violence, with far too frequently, we hear about instances of
isolation, bullying, self-harm and violence in our schools and communities; and,
WHEREAS, community partners and the City of Brooklyn Center have committed to
teach youth how to recognize signs of potential violence in their schools and community before it
happens and provide tools for intervention; and
WHEREAS, young people who are isolated can fall victim to bullying, violence and/or
depression, causing them to pull away from society, struggle with learning and developing, and possibly
choose to hurt themselves or others; and
WHEREAS, the safety and well-being of Brooklyn Center’s youth population is
jeopardized each day by the real and perceived threat of violence due to cultural, environmental, social
and economic influences; and
WHEREAS, the entire community is exponentially impacted adversely by youth
violence, including parents, siblings, relatives, friends and neighbors of both the victims and perpetrators
of violence; and
WHEREAS, it is known that the effects of direct and indirect trauma related to youth
violence significantly impacts our young people’s development, health and wellbeing; and
WHEREAS, it is a proven fact that a young person’s sense of safety and security inside
their homes, schools and communities is crucial to their success; and
WHEREAS, it is widely recognized by the Federal Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention and by leading behavioral health experts, that youth violence is a critical and preventable
public health issue; and
WHEREAS, the City of Brooklyn Center along with multiple community organizations
and local schools recognize the threat which violence presents to the success and well-being of Brooklyn
Center youth and have committed to collaborating to seek out and/or create solutions to reduce and
prevent instances of youth violence; and
WHEREAS, we all renew our commitment to promote, enhance and increase the assets,
strengths and skill sets of our young people by providing the necessary services and resources including
opportunities and options for mentoring, social and emotional intelligence education, financial literacy
education, post-secondary education, skilled trade training, entrepreneurial education and housing
options and access, in order to increase their odds for success; and
WHEREAS, the goal is to foster long-term connectedness and greater inclusion, and to
create a culture and community of upstanders; and
WHEREAS, the youth of our City are working to enhance the learning environments
by reducing social isolation, speaking up when they see youth at risk of harming themselves and
others; and
WHEREAS, cities, school districts, and communities from across the country are

Shingle Creek Crossing Development and TIF Agreement Update
The following summarizes an agreement between the Economic Development Authority of Brooklyn
Center and Shingle Creek, LLC. In 2011, the City entered into an agreement with Shingle Creek, LLC (a
developer unrelated to Walmart) for redevelopment of the former Brookdale Mall Site. This is the
agreement and project that led to the development of the Walmart store slated for closing in Brooklyn
Center.
Through this agreement, the developer committed to take on the following:
(1) Acquire and demolish the Brookdale Mall (except for Sears and the food court building). The
preexisting food court building would be “reskinned” under the original agreement.
(2) Sell a parcel within the overall project to Walmart and cause construction of a new Walmart
store.
(3) Construct and/or rehabilitate up to 18 additional buildings per the approved plans (totaling
624,054 sq. ft.).
(4) Partial daylighting of Shingle Creek.
(5) Construct streets and streetscaping.
(6) Construct stormwater retention areas.
As a part of this agreement, the EDA agreed to:
x Sell a parcel of EDA owned property for the project.
x Create a new TIF district (known as TIF District #5) and provide a pay-as-you-go TIF note to the
developer in the amount of $2.3 million for TIF eligible costs such as acquisition, demolition, and
infrastructure.
x Make a forgivable loan to the developer in the amount of $1.4 million from the EDA’s existing
TIF district #2 related to items 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 above.
o This loan was forgivable upon the developer meeting certain conditions within the
agreement. This loan has since been forgiven per the agreement because the developer
met the defined conditions.
x Make a forgivable loan to the developer in the amount of $1 million from the EDA’s existing TIF
district #2 related to item #3 above.
o This loan was forgivable upon the developer meeting certain conditions within the
agreement. This loan has since been forgiven per the agreement because the developer
met the defined conditions.
x Provide reimbursement of up to $190,000 from TIF District #2 for acquisition and asbestos
abatement of the “Midas” property.
Since the agreement was approved, it has been amended four times to reflect minor changes in the
timing and specifics of the larger project, and fund additional improvements. These amendments were
unrelated to the status of the Walmart store specifically.
In 2016, the City issued General Obligation Tax increment bonds to take out the developer pay-as-you-
go note and refinance a city interfund loan that paid for project costs in TIF District #5. Tax increments
were no longer directed to the developer, and instead are now being used to pay annual debt service on
the city-issued bonds.
Current agreement status as it relates to Walmart:
The agreement required that the developer sell a parcel of land to Walmart for construction of a new
store. The developer complied with those provisions in the agreement and the Walmart store was built.
Walmart was not a party to this agreement and had no obligations itself as it relates to the construction
or operation of the store.
Based on a review of the agreement, closing of the Walmart store does not constitute and event of
default in the existing agreement with the developer. In addition, the City is no longer making any
payments to the developer through the agreement. For these reasons, the existing agreement may not
offer any recourse to the developer because of the store closing.
