Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, City Attorney Troy Gilchrist, and City Clerk Barb Suciu. MISCELLANEOUS CONTINUED DISCUSSION OF 2022 BUDGET Mayor Elliott summarized the need for continued discussion about the 2022 budget. He had asked City Attorney Troy Gilchrist to create a comparison chart of the two proposed budgets. Additionally, an excel spreadsheet was created to depict the current positions, both filled and opened, within the Police Department. City Manager Reggie Edwards stated Council directed Staff to prepare a compromised budget, and Dr. Edwards had a presentation prepared for the Council. Mayor Elliott stated that was not his understanding of the direction from the Council. Councilmember Graves stated she did ask Staff to consider the presentations from the previous meeting as she noticed a gap between the proposed budgets and the community presentation budget estimations. She explained she had asked for the presentation so the Council would have something to work off of and noted she was unaware that Mayor Elliott was going to ask Mr. Gilchrist to create a comparison document. Councilmember Ryan agreed his understanding was the same as Councilmember Graves and was anticipating for Staff to create a presentation that would tie together the loose ends. Therefore, it seems appropriate to hear from the Staff. He added he would like to see what Mr. Gilchrist put together. Additionally, there are housekeeping issues that need to be addressed. The last meeting was six hours, and it was not properly adjourned. He explained he would like to set better ground rules for muting attendees and create a time limit for public comment. 12/2/21 -2- DRAFT Councilmember Graves noted her agreement with Councilmember Ryan’s concerns about decorum. She hoped the meeting at hand could be more similar to a work session for the Council. The public may not understand the Council does not discuss these issues outside of the public meetings. There is an opportunity for the public to speak again on Monday, so she would like the current meeting to be a time for Council to nail down some details. Councilmember Butler stated they listened to the public extensively at the last meeting and will listen again at the next meeting. Therefore, the current meeting should only be for Council discussion and consensus. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson noted she agrees with the other members of the Council. She has received around 80 emails, and she is trying to respond to them all. The Council needs to discuss the budget amongst themselves, and the public can listen in. Mayor Elliott stated his intention for the meeting was primarily Council discussion. If they do allow for public comment, then they should put a time limit on it. If there is a time, in the end, he would be fine with public comment since some members of the public expressed interest in speaking. He explained Dr. Edwards would present followed by Mr. Gilchrist. Dr. Edwards explained the purpose of the presentation was to present a budget compromise that addresses the funding gaps and a set of adjusted budget principles. Based upon the public safety act, adopted preliminary budget, and proposed budget change primarily to the Police Department’s budget, Staff has attempted to develop and propose a viable and agreeable adjusted budget while addressing the gap of approximately $267,000 to more fully fund a community response model service. Dr. Edwards stated Michelle Gross, a representative with Communities United Against Police Brutality, presented a potential cost of $517,000 for a community response unit model. Additionally, Ms. Gross presented a potential cost of $251,000 for a civilian traffic response unit. The adopted preliminary budget allocated $250,000 to each of those units for 2022 and an additional $250,000 to each of those units for 2023. Therefore, there is an approximate gap of $267,000 between the preliminary budget and the proposed additional units. Dr. Edwards explained the adjusted budget principles lay the foundation for co-creation, meet the spirit of the public safety Resolution, promote fiscal prudence, keep the proposed tax levy, incorporate several external resources and funding avenues, create bold and fundamental change by implementing alternative public safety services, maintain a high quality of police services, create a path to structural sustainable funding, and ultimately allow the City to act, learn, and adjust. Dr. Edwards stated the adjusted proposal includes the creation of the Office of Prevention, Health, and Safety. The Office would support the vision of Brooklyn Center as a thriving, diverse community with a full range of housing, business, cultural and recreational offerings and as a safe and inclusive place that people of all ages love to call home, and visitors enjoy due to its convenient location and commitment to a healthy environment. The mission of the Office of Prevention, Health, and Safety would be to provide leadership, programming coordination, and evaluation of 12/2/21 -3- DRAFT prevention, health, and safety across the enterprise and in the community. Additionally, coordination of efforts within the enterprise shall focus principally on all public safety-related departments. Dr. Edwards stated the adjusted budget proposal includes an increase of $366,957 for each 2022 and 2023. The funding would address the gap between the preliminary budget and the presentation by Ms. Gross. To do that, they would see an increase in the lodging tax, a slight increase in vacancy savings, and the freezing of three Police Department positions. Dr. Edwards stated there would be a $3.6 million investment toward the spirit of the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler. Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution. There would be less money allocated toward the efforts in 2023 as the external funding for the FUSE fellows, the Implementation Committee Project Manager, and related office expenses would no longer be available. The previously proposed programming would still be funded, and the change in funding is only directed to the civilian traffic enforcement unit and the alternative community response unit. Dr. Edwards stated they want to lay a foundation for co-creation and continue to work with the Police Department and local organizations. It was critical to fully fund the gap in the 2022 budget. The plan includes freezing three Police Department positions and conducting a labor study. They will implement program pilots for traffic enforcement and the community response model. Down the line, they will review the labor study and the impact of pilots on the Police Department workload and police service quality. The reviews would happen in six months, twelve months, and eighteen months. From there, they will determine to reinstate the three Police Department positions, freeze the positions for an additional year, or permanently eliminate the positions before the 2023 fiscal year. Dr. Edwards reiterated the adjusted budget principles: lay the foundation for co-creation, meet the spirit of the public safety resolution, promote fiscal prudence, keep the proposed tax levy, utilize several external resources and funding avenues, create bold and fundamental change by implementing alternative public safety services, maintain a high quality of police services, create a path to structural sustainable funding, and ultimately act, learn, and adjust. Dr. Edwards offered to answer questions from the Council. Mayor Elliott thanked Dr. Edwards for the presentation and noted it moves the City closer to where they need to go. However, the proposed adjusted budget still needs further compromise. It is important for the Council to fully support the budget moving forward. He noted Ms. Gross presented a good model for alternative responses. They do need to take into account the proposals made by Law Enforcement Action Partnership (LEAP). He stated Amos Irwin was on the call to provide further input. Councilmember Graves asked Mayor Elliott who Mr. Irwin was. Mayor Elliott stated Mr. Irwin was a representative from LEAP. Councilmember Graves asked for Council to have an opportunity to ask Dr. Edwards questions about the adjusted proposal. Mayor Elliott stated he was fine with that, but considering the issue 12/2/21 -4- DRAFT at hand is the alternative response model, he would like Mr. Irwin to provide input as well. Mayor Elliott noted he is running the meeting and would like the Council to respect his role in doing that. Councilmember Graves stated she was confused because Mr. Irwin was not on the agenda, Mayor Elliott did not clarify who he was before asking Mr. Irwin to speak, and Dr. Edwards already offered to answer questions from the Council. Additionally, the Council agreed upon keeping the meeting discussion within the Council. Councilmember Graves stated she was not opposed to hearing from Mr. Irwin and explained it was a confusing introduction. Mayor Elliott stated hearing from Mr. Irwin or Ms. Gross is not a form of public comment but rather as accessing resources available to them. He stated he was open to having Council ask questions of Dr. Edwards but noted it would be helpful for Mr. Irwin to provide additional information and context. Councilmember Graves stated she was fine with comments from Mr. Irwin now that it has been explained who he is. She pointed out Dr. Edwards moved forward with Ms. Gross’ presentation because she received numbers specific to Brooklyn Center. Councilmember Graves asked if Mr. Irwin had numbers specific to Brooklyn Center for his proposal. Mayor Elliott stated Mr. Irwin has accessed some preliminary 911 data from Brooklyn Center. Dr. Edwards asked to speak. Mayor Elliott stated he was going to exercise his prerogative and call on someone else. Councilmember Ryan asked to speak. Mayor Elliott stated he was going to exercise his prerogative and call on someone else. Mr. Irwin stated he had another member of his team present to speak to the proposal. Mr. Irwin stated the budget proposal covers 12 hours per day and asked his colleague for his take on that. Neil Franklin, past Executive Director of LEAP and former police officer, stated it is important to have responders available 24 hours each day. The reason law enforcement has become the default is that they are always available. If an alternative response is not available all day long, then people will lose trust in the alternative response. Mr. Franklin shared while he was a police officer, he had to put handcuffs on a young girl who had run away because they were the default response. He explained he should not have been put in that position, and there should have been another option to respond to her. Other jurisdictions have asked for expanded response hours for alternative response programs so the police can consistently rely upon him. On the other hand, no jurisdiction has scaled back its alternative response programs. Mr. Franklin stated the cost of responders to be available 24 hours a day for seven days a week would be $800,000 rather than the adjusted proposal of $500,000. Because community responders are specially trained to respond to low-risk calls, research shows they can handle the calls more effectively and at a lower cost. There is no reason to start a program with a limited budget as it would limit the public’s trust in the program. Mr. Franklin explained each jurisdiction LEAP has 12/2/21 -5- DRAFT worked with has found both law enforcement and dispatch want the program to be consistently reliable, as does the public. Mr. Irwin thanked Mr. Franklin for his comments. Councilmember Ryan asked if the responders would be mental health specialists. Mr. Franklin stated it would be a combination of mental health specialists and other designated civilians. Councilmember Ryan noted his appreciation of Mr. Franklin’s anecdote. Councilmember Ryan stated his concern is that several other jurisdictions are trying to set up the programs. Therefore, they may be competing with a smaller pool of well-trained people. Councilmember Ryan stated he would ask Dr. Edwards to share more information about the costs for individualized personnel. Councilmember Graves asked what information the Staff has about the County response program. The County has provided information about the co-responder model they are launching via email and through the County Commissioner, but she would like more information. Dr. Edwards noted the City had received a presentation from the County about models they are considering. The County explained a model they are doing in Brooklyn Park, and they stated there was potential to add Brooklyn Center to the model in Brooklyn Park. The Deputy Fire Chief also shared models they are considering. Staff will be traveling to Denver to learn more about their response model. The role of the Implementation Committee is to formulate those ideas to bring back to the Council, as articulated in the city Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution. He added Interim Police Chief Tony Gruenig may have additional information. Chief Greunig added Hennepin County is about to start a pilot program, and their recommendations are to move slowly to ensure the success of the program. Chief Greunig noted Hennepin County District 1 Commissioner Jeffrey Lunde was on the call and would have additional information. Commissioner Lunde stated the County program is launching with seven embedded social workers. Brooklyn Park is adding three social workers, one of which is dedicated to group homes. There is money allocated to fund 36 social workers across the County, and it is not considered a pilot program anymore. The social worker would be embedded within a city’s police department. Commissioner Lunde explained the County spent a lot of time traveling around the country studying different models. and they came back with the best practices and localized them. There are great plans out there, but they have to be consistent with existing State law and programs. The embedded social worker program is meant to respond to and connect people back to County services. Oftentimes people who are experiencing mental health challenges are also facing other issues. The County prioritizes offering a continuum of care. Commissioner Lunde added he will be in Denver with Brooklyn Center’s Fire Chief next week to tour the 911 facility there. The County is looking at having embedded social workers within the dispatch center to triage issues immediately. Commissioner Lunde noted it is very important to have the responses available seven days a week, 24 hours a day. The County faced a similar challenge when their assessment facility was only available during regular business hours. Lastly, it may be advantageous to do a tour with Brooklyn Park or another jurisdiction with the embedded social workers. There are multiple types of programs being rolled out. 12/2/21 -6- DRAFT Ms. Gross, a representative with Communities United Against Police Brutality, stated embedded social workers have traditionally been a follow-up option. She has attended meetings with Hennepin County regarding the social workers, and she hadn’t been told the social workers would be primary responders. However, that would be a welcome change. Ms. Gross explained her initial proposal included a 24 hours per day, seven days per week response. Under State statute, there must be mental health professionals to respond to mental health calls, and there are requirements for their education. Ms. Gross stated Brooklyn Center had around 540 mental health crisis calls in 2020, which is not enough to keep a full-time person busy doing just that work. Her proposed hybrid model included a licensed clinical social worker to supervise a team and also provide the mental health responses as required by statute. Then regular social workers, emergency medical services, and peer counselors could respond to the community response calls at a lower cost. Ms. Gross stated the Council thought the initial proposal was too expensive, so Ms. Gross later recommended the City partner with Hennepin County’s Community Outreach for Psychiatric Emergencies (COPE) for all-day everyday services. Ultimately, it would be the Implementation Committee who would make those decisions. Mayor Elliott stated the Council has a lot of decisions to make. They spend a lot of money on public safety. If they look at the difference between $517,000 and $800,000 and consider they have spent $800,000 on a single lawsuit before, the investment in an alternative response program would pay back huge dividends for the community. Mayor Elliott stated they should allocate $800,000 to allow for a total response, 24-hour model if that is what the Implementation Committee chooses to move forward with. Councilmember Graves asked if Ms. Gross’ second proposal included a 24-hour model. Ms. Gross stated the second model was based on a 12-hour model. However, she does not think a 12-hour model is an ideal solution. State statute says mental health response must be a 24-hour model. Councilmember Graves asked what the cost is to be part of COPE and how the current embedded social worker compares to other City’s embedded social workers. Chief Greunig stated Brooklyn Center’s embedded social worker just started, and they are trying to fine-tune how they receive reports. They are hoping for a 90 percent referral rate to the social worker, but his last presentation showed they were at a 60 percent referral rate. He noted their first social worker moved into a different program, so there were some time setbacks to hiring and training a new social worker. Chief Greunig stated COPE will not respond to calls without a police officer. Brooklyn Center has tried to get COPE to respond to other situations, and they weren’t able to do so. As part of the 2022 budget, the Police Department has a person to respond to barricaded situations. The responder will have access to the barricaded person’s medical records, as they would be a trained therapist or social worker. The embedded social worker currently stays in the office. He stated it is important for the responding social worker to be connected to the County as the County provides the majority of mental health referrals and services for the community. 12/2/21 -7- DRAFT Mike Risvold, Hennepin County Suburban Community Engagement Liaison, stated most of the County’s responses are based on data. The County is looking for a countywide approach. They wouldn’t have an alternative response in every city for the entire day as that is expensive for everyone. Instead, they would like to develop a program with teams positioned throughout the County. The collected data will inform the staffing needs. Mr. Risvold explained the embedded social worker is one layer and is designed to be a follow-up service after law enforcement responded to a situation. Brooklyn Park identified that the calls from their 25 most frequent 911 callers decreased by 85 percent thanks to the embedded social worker. Additionally, there is a social worker embedded in the 911 dispatch portion of the response. They are entered phase two of the pilot in 2022 by hiring more embedded social workers for dispatch. Mr. Risvold stated another layer of the County’s approach is modeled after Denver’s Support Team Assisted Response (STAR) program. Hennepin County is going to have a community paramedic paired with a licensed social worker. Denver piloted that in 2020, and they are ramping it up in the coming months. Mr. Risvold noted someone mentioned a co-response option. He pointed out Hennepin County piloted a co-response option in Minneapolis, but the pandemic got in the way of that. They are working on that program down the road. Mr. Risvold stated people want change today. He agrees with that, but since they want it to be countywide they are taking it slowly. It is important to have a behavioral health response available all day every day, and they are working toward that. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked what the time frame is to add cities to the program Hennepin County program mentioned by Commissioner Lunde. She stated she does not understand if they are looking at an independent entity program or if it would be more cost- effective to utilize Hennepin County resources and avoid duplication of efforts. That is a question the Council needs to answer for themselves. They need to decide what would be most cost- effective and just effective in the long term. Ms. Gross stated there was a recent law passed called Travis’ Law which requires that 911 calls for mental health crisis response be deflected to mental health crisis response teams. Those teams are available in every single county in Minnesota. Additionally, COPE has traditionally visited people in their homes, although they have currently paused that service due to COVID-19. Some services can be handled via telephone, but there are instances where there needs to be a response to the residence. Best practice says a trained mental health professional should respond to the scene and comport with the law. Ultimately, the Council has to decide on how to provide 24-hour service. Mayor Elliott stated if they use COPE for the mental health response, they could still provide around-the-clock service to the community. The Implementation Committee has to work through the details, but the Council must set aside funds to allow them to make those decisions specific to Brooklyn Center. He noted Brooklyn Center is almost 70 percent people of color while the County is closer to 25 percent people of color. The City has a foreign-born population of 25 percent. The County may be creating a model that will be great for Hennepin County, but Brooklyn Center has 12/2/21 -8- DRAFT a unique community with unique needs. Investing $800,000 can have a very big impact on the community and allow for the Implementation Committee to explore all possible options. Councilmember Ryan stated it is very logical to consider Travis’ Law. The Council should know what assistance the State is going to provide to cities without a rich property base such as Brooklyn Center. Mr. Risvold stated Travis’ Law was covered in a recent presentation to the City. The Hennepin County Director of Emergency Communications Tony Martin chairs a statewide working group that addresses Travis’ Law. The statute does require a mental health response where available. It is the interpretation of the County Attorney’s Office that Hennepin County is still in compliance with that law even though they are in the building process of such a response. The County, however, has not received a response from the Attorney General’s Office on the matter. Mr. Risvold stated Denver STAR and Portland’s Crisis Assistance Helping Out On The Streets (CAHOOTS) are completely different. Denver’s STAR program uses a licensed clinician to respond, and that is the model Hennepin County is trying to use along with a community paramedic. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked what the time frame is to add cities to the program Hennepin County program mentioned by Commissioner Lunde. Mr. Risvold stated there are eight cities in the County that will be adding embedded social workers to their response programs. Commissioner Lunde was not referring to an alternative response option. Mr. Irwin stated it is important to remember the majority of calls that would be handled by community responders are not mental health calls. Some calls may have a mental health aspect to them such as calls focused on addiction and homelessness. They would also respond to noise complaints or juvenile issues. LEAP has found that 75 percent of the calls are not mental health calls. Therefore, mental health services would not respond to 75 percent of the calls. Mayor Elliott asked if LEAP has worked with other cities to build alternative community response options. Mr. Irwin stated that information is not yet public from a collaboration with Amherst, Massachusetts, but they will be able to give more details later. There is a public report about percentages of calls that fall into different categories from work with jurisdiction in Ohio. Councilmember Ryan asked if the County has a policy decision that is still awaiting concrete appropriations. Commissioner Lunde stated his understanding is the Attorney General would not give an opinion, so that is why the statewide working group was formed. At this point, the County’s dispatch center complies with Travis’ Law. Councilmember Ryan stated it would be important to seek further clarification from the State level. Commissioner Lunde stated the issue is on the list to be addressed in the upcoming legislative session. Mr. Gilchrist showed a chart comparing the proposed budgets. He explained it was meant to be a starting point for the Council’s discussion. Additionally, there is a different language being used between the two budgets. The language is within the realm of the Council’s authority, and the Council has already acted to name a new office during the passing of the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution. The language needs to 12/2/21 -9- DRAFT be consistent with the language in the Resolution unless they decide to change the Resolution. Mr. Gilchrist stated the City Manager’s proposed budget and the Mayor’s proposed budget have a difference of $357,193. Councilmember Butler asked if the numbers on the slide were from the City Manager’s first presentation or the presentation from that evening. Mr. Gilchrist stated the typed numbers are from the original presentation, and the handwritten numbers are from the adjusted budget that Dr. Edwards proposed that evening. Mayor Elliott asked if the $357,000 is the difference between the two most recently proposed budgets. Mr. Gilchrist confirmed Mayor Elliott’s question was correct. Mayor Elliott asked how much money is allocated for each of the three proposed police officer salary freezes. He stated his math showed about $100,000 per position. Dr. Edwards stated the money depends on the position, and he left that up to the Police Department to decide which three positions would be frozen. He confirmed he estimated a little over $100,000 per frozen position. Councilmember Graves stated the Resolution was passed rather quickly, and they didn’t talk about the structure of the new department or what should or shouldn’t be included. She wishes she would have taken more time to talk about the details. Now that they are talking about the details, they may decide they may need fewer departments or to combine the departments. They are trying to build an office and a program without looking at data or tailoring it to the needs of the City. Being chained to the language in the Resolution may inhibit their progress on implementing it. She asked how they could make the document more fluid. Mr. Gilchrist stated the Council enacted specific language, and they need to be consistent with it until they change it. The Council could use a fluid approach and make adjustments to the Resolution by creating another resolution. Councilmember Graves noted Mr. Gilchrist’s chart was helpful to decipher the differences. There were line items in the City Manager’s budget that are not captured in the presented chart. Dr. Edwards stated Mr. Gilchrist’s chart does not include Health On The Go, Cities United, the new health focus embedded in the Parks and Recreation Department, the Inclusion, Equity, and Antiracism Office. Over $2 million would be allocated for the efforts in the spirit of the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution in 2022, and just under $2 million would be allocated in 2023. Dr. Edwards’ proposal exceeds the amount shown in Mr. Gilchrist’s chart. Dr. Edwards stated the Resolution called for the creation of the Implementation Committee and for the Committee to present the Council with recommendations. The proposal included pilot programs with sustainable funding. The language being used in the Resolution does not match up with his proposed budget because the entire Resolution will not be implemented in 2022. They have not gotten to the point of final implementation because the Implementation Committee has yet to be formed and has yet to create recommendations. 12/2/21 -10- DRAFT Mr. Gilchrist confirmed the chart does not include all of the items in Dr. Edwards’ presentation. Mr. Gilchrist’s thinking was to keep it to the provisions specific to those listed in the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution. Mr. Gilchrist assumed that the other efforts would move forward regardless of the specific numbers presented in his chart. Councilmember Graves thanked Dr. Edwards and Mr. Gilchrist for their clarification. She noted the efforts not listed in the chart are complementary to one another. Community programming as proposed by Dr. Edwards addresses social determinants of health and its effects on public safety. The other funded programming does apply to the community programming line on Mr. Gilchrist’s chart. Public safety and violence prevention looks a lot of different ways. For example, BrookLynk could even be considered on Mr. Gilchrist’s chart as additional community programming. Mayor Elliott noted the $150,000 for the Implementation Committee was intended for them to visit with other cities and pay for technical assistance, data modeling software, and the likes. Those items are not included in the City Manager’s proposed budget. The youth and community programming are similar to the community transformational change and innovation process. The youth programming in his proposal allows youth to have a place to build skills such as finances, health, or coding. Both are needed, and the two do not compete. All of the line items represent collective transformation for the community. Councilmember Graves stated the youth programming specified by the Mayor is near to her heart. Mayor Elliott explained he learned those things from Councilmember Graves. Councilmember Graves noted her appreciation of those efforts but explained she does not see which specific programs are going to be implemented. Some of the programming mentioned by Mayor Elliott is available in the City through other organizations. She asked if the youth programming would be partnerships with community organizations or if it would just leave space for the Implementation Committee to decide. She understands and is on board with the vision, but she doesn’t understand the plan. She asked how does he know how much funding to allocate to that programming and if that is something the Implementation Committee should guide the Council on. A guiding body such as the Implementation Committee has to have the knowledge, expertise and lived experiences to steer the City in the right direction. There also needs to be buy- in from the community and build upon the work that is already being done. Mayor Elliott noted his agreement with Councilmember Graves and explained the dollar amount is a placeholder for the Implementation Committee to work with. Councilmember Butler asked how soon will they have an Implementation Committee and how often they will be meeting. She wants to make sure the Council does not design too much. Sometimes community is invited into a space where things have already been created rather than presenting them with a blank canvas. She noted there are currently 14 open positions in the Police Department. Councilmember Butler asked if they are partially through the year and they have open positions still, could those funds be reallocated to support the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution. 12/2/21 -11- DRAFT Mayor Elliott stated they had a round of interviews already, and they have a final interview round next week for the Implementation Committee Manager. Once that position is in place, they can move forward with filling the Committee. After they have appointments to the Committee, it will depend on the plan of the Manager for the start and frequency of meetings, but hopefully, it will happen early on in the new year. The Committee will work through the alternative response models and tailor them to Brooklyn Center. The projection is they will have a model within the first two months of 2022. LEAP has done similar work with other cities, and they have experience with timelines. As for reallocating Police Department funds, he would like to see something like that happen as well. Councilmember Ryan noted his appreciation for Councilmember Graves’ remarks about language in the Resolution and fluidity of the offices. He looks forward to hearing from the Implementation Committee about their thoughts on the language and possible departments or offices. Mayor Elliott stated if the recommendation of the Implementation Committee is to change the structure or language in the Resolution, then it would come back to the Council to be considered. Councilmember Ryan stated one percent of the levy is $184,000. If there is only a $367,000 difference between the two potential budgets, they could make that up with two points on the property taxes. His concern about Travis’ Law is if the State legislature gave them an unfunded mandate, and he wouldn’t want to financially harm the people they are seeking to help. Ms. Gross stated the legislature did allocate $13 million towards the implementation of Travis’ Law and strengthening 911 response teams. While the Council cannot budget on maybes, there are several funding opportunities for starting alternative response teams. The Implementation Committee could look at those potential opportunities to fund the gap between the two plans. Mayor Elliott stated the Implementation Committee Manager and the Implementation Committee will be pursuing alternative funding services. However, this is an investment in the community to address the conditions that lead to public safety issues and to create culturally-responsive resources. It is a net benefit for the community to make the investment. Additionally, it would yield savings for the City with a lower cost to respond to the calls. CAHOOTS’ reports show savings of roughly $8.5 million each year. Councilmember Butler asked if they are partially through the year and they have open positions in the Police Department still, could those funds be reallocated to support the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution. She noted the reallocation could be dependent upon the studies on the effectiveness of the alternative responses mentioned by Dr. Edwards. Dr. Edwards stated they can make adjustments to the allocations at any given time. His adjusted budget details they would implement the freeze, begin the pilot program, then do the workload study to assess the effects of the pilot. He anticipates being at the point of presenting those findings to the Council in 2023. 12/2/21 -12- DRAFT Dr. Edwards noted Councilmember Graves mentioned letting the Implementation Committee speak to the creation of programs and avoiding overdosing before their input. The Implementation Committee will have to get to know one another, learn more about the needs of the community, and look into various options for a model. The likelihood of that happening in two months is low. By the time a program would be up and running and exist long enough to make an impact for a workload study, they could adjust for the results in the 2023 budget. Mayor Elliott stated LEAP and Ms. Gross have engaged in the implementation of similar programs and worked with data in other cities before. The Council can hold space for the Implementation Committee to make the decisions on how to use the allocated funds. Brooklyn Center is extremely unique and faces unique challenges. Working with the Council and the community, they can build a unique model for the City. Councilmember Graves asked if the interviews the City has been having would be for the position to oversee the Implementation Committee. Mayor Elliott confirmed they have been interviewing for the Implementation Committee Manager. Councilmember Graves asked if that position reports directly to the Mayor in the Mayor’s proposed budget. Mayor Elliott confirmed the position reports directly to him in his proposed budget. Councilmember Graves asked if the Implementation Committee would then make recommendations to the Council. Mayor Elliott confirmed the Implementation Committee would then make recommendations to the Council. Councilmember Graves stated the hiring of the position to oversee the Implementation Committee and appointing members of the Implementation Committee needs to move along. Mayor Elliott stated they are working on that process. They will have the Implementation Committee Manager hired by the end of the following week, and they will begin to appoint members to the Committee. They are working with the FUSE fellows to move the process forward. Councilmember Graves stated she will be meeting with the FUSE fellows soon. The Council talks about theories and ideas, but it is people like the FUSE fellows and the Implementation Committee who do the legwork. Councilmember Graves asked if Dr. Edwards increased the budget for the Implementation Committee in his adjusted budget. Dr. Edwards confirmed he increased the budget for the Implementation Committee in his adjusted budget. He explained there was an initial gap of $267,000, and Staff identified $366,000 in additional resources. They spread out the additional money throughout the various offices and committees. Councilmember Graves noted she was happy to see Dr. Edwards address the gap in the budget. She added she looks forward to hearing about the hiring of the Implementation Committee Manager. Councilmember Graves stated she believes LEAP’s presentation laid out implementation in three- or six-month steps. What they have in the budget is sufficient to get the implementation started. After hiring the Implementation Committee Manager and appointing the Committee members, they could secure more funding for the work, especially considering the funding opportunities mentioned by Ms. Gross. They would have a very strong application and would have support from various communities. She stated she feels confident about the adjusted budget proposed by Dr. Edwards. There are other avenues open to them once the Implementation Committee moves forward. 12/2/21 -13- DRAFT Mr. Irwin stated Brooklyn Center is further ahead than where most jurisdictions start in the timeline. The fact that there is imminent hiring for a Manager decreases the timeline. Six months is a reasonable amount of time to allow for the training and hiring of responders. Mayor Elliott stated his understanding is that there is sufficient money available for the community response model and the Implementation Committee. Councilmember Graves stated it is enough to at least get started. The decisions are supposed to be informed by the police assessment, the pilot programs, and the pilot programs evaluation. The Implementation Committee Manager and Staff can continue to apply for additional funding. The Council cannot ensure what every detail will look like at this time. Mayor Elliott asked what Dr. Edwards’ revised budget includes from the Mayor’s proposed budget. Dr. Edwards stated in January they will be hiring Staff, and, therefore, the capacity of Staff will increase once that happens. The Office Manager and its operations would have $200,000 and the pilot civilian traffic response has $260,000. Mayor Elliott asked how much money would go toward the Implementation Committee. Dr. Edwards stated the Implementation Committee didn’t have a specific line item, but the money from the other lines would include funding of the Committee. Mayor Elliott stated if the $150,000 for the Implementation Committee from the Mayor’s proposed budget is not included in Dr. Edwards’ adjusted budget, then they need to add funding for the Implementation Committee, especially for technical assistance. Dr. Edwards stated the Office of Violence Prevention, Health, and Safety budget of $200,000 which includes Staff for $104,000 and then programming. Since they would not be prepared to implement that right away, the City could use some of those funds for technical assistance for the Implementation Committee. There are more enough resources to provide $150,000 for the Implementation Committee. Councilmember Graves asked if Mayor Elliott was looking for the difference of $70,000 between the proposed budgets. Mayor Elliott confirmed that was correct and noted it should be a line item to make it clearer. Mayor Elliott stated they should be in alignment with the Resolution until the names are officially changed. The Office of Violence Prevention, Health, and Safety would mean the same thing as the Resolution’s Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention. There are important responsibilities laid out in the Resolution that is critical in moving forward, as is having a Director for that Department. Councilmember Graves stated the Resolution calls for three departments and, therefore, three new directors. That would require more money and would be preemptive because they do not know if they need three departments. The Implementation Committee and the pilots would inform that decision. As previously discussed, they did not have a lot of time to go over the details in the Resolution. Councilmember Graves asked how long it would take to hire three directors and if that would benefit the pilot programs. There is enough capacity for one new department, then the process could inform if they need more. The Council nor too many people from Brooklyn Center helped Mayor Elliott draft the Resolution. She explained that she was in favor of the Resolution, 12/2/21 -14- DRAFT but they need to diligently process the details. The Implementation Committee may say they should follow everything in the Resolution, but they may not. At that time, they could change the title of the office to the department. Councilmember Graves stated Mayor Elliott was getting too caught up in the language of the Resolution rather than making and acknowledging progress. Mayor Elliott stated they are making progress. Mayor Elliott stated he brought the Resolution forward, but the Council passed it. It is the same amount of money whether they use the term office or department. He noted he would like support to follow the Resolution’s language. Mayor Elliott added he is not asking to hire three directors immediately but to start with one. It also upholds trust with the public to follow through with what they have said. The Council committed to the department and the responsibilities that go along with a director. He added he is willing to be flexible on the funding question. Councilmember Graves noted she does not care if someone has the title of manager or director. However, not everything has to be laid out exactly as written in the Resolution as that may inhibit progress. She asked if title matters in terms of finances or written policy. Dr. Edwards stated the title does matter. There cannot be a director that reports to another director. There are already directors in the current departments, and the new director cannot report to a current director. The pay is different and is based upon responsibility. If they had a director report to another director, it would mean the pay is not based upon skill and responsibility. There are ramifications of titles, pay scales, and who reports to whom. Councilmember Graves thanked Dr. Edwards for his clarification. Mayor Elliott stated he has spoken with Dr. Edwards about this topic before and has since researched the topic. Numerous organizations have directors report to other directors. It is important to tie the responsibilities of the role in the Resolution to the title. If they have the agreement to create the role as designed in the Resolution, then they are making progress. The names are semantics, and it is ultimately about responsibilities. If the Council agrees that the position will fulfill the responsibilities as written in the Resolution then the Implementation Committee could provide input on the title. Councilmember Graves stated her impression was the role would carry out the responsibilities as written in the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution as well as overseeing pilot programs and collaborating with the Implementation Committee. The difference is only in the name. She noted her respect for the City Manager’s perspective, and multiple directors could create confusion of hierarchy in the City until the Implementation Committee informs the decisions. She stated it would make more sense to amend the Resolution than to change the City’s operating structure to align with the Resolution. Mayor Elliott stated there seemed to be consensus about the role of fulfilling the responsibilities of the Resolution and to change the name if needed at the direction of the Implementation Committee. Councilmember Ryan noted his appreciation of Mr. Gilchrist’s input on language and departments. The Resolution specifies departments and directors, and those titles have meaning. He asked if they could amend the Resolution to rename the departments and directors so they would align with the current structure and allow the Council as policymakers to meet the scale and operational needs 12/2/21 -15- DRAFT of the City. If they have a Director of Public Safety over the Fire Department, Police Department, community response, and traffic enforcement, they inherently have to pay the Director more than any other chief or director. Mr. Gilchrist stated the Resolution allows the City Manager and the City Attorney to raise issues with the Resolution, which is exactly what the City Manager is doing. Additionally, Mr. Gilchrist did the same by encouraging the Council to follow the language of the Resolution. Mr. Gilchrist stated the Council can make changes. As stated by Dr. Edwards, the City Manager can also raise the issues with the Implementation Committee. From there, the Implementation Committee could provide input on such issues. They are projecting a lot of what the programs and departments could look like, but it is ultimately the role of the Implementation Committee to exercise its discretion to make those decisions. Councilmember Ryan stated it seems logical and reasonable to wait to create units until the responsibilities and organizational structure is determined. Mr. Gilchrist stated budgeting for a position doesn’t necessarily create the position. If they start to label things differently than in the Resolution, then it creates a disconnect and confusion. Additionally, it could place the City in a position where they are not following their documents. Councilmember Ryan stated it would be prudent on the part of the City leaders to change the document before creating the organizational units. It would allow the Council flexibility while Mayor Elliott’s concerns about responsibilities would be addressed. Mayor Elliott stated he has spent time in Fridley, and he toured their City Hall, Fire Department, and Police Department. They have a Director of Public Safety, a Police Chief, a Police Department, a Fire Department, and a Fire Division. It would appear they have a Public Safety Department with two departments under it. They also use the terms department and division interchangeably. The Council has to look at their City. Mayor Elliott agreed with Mr. Gilchrist about maintaining consistency with the Resolution. Dr. Edwards explained he would not like to duplicate Fridley. He added he hopes the Council can trust him in his role as City Manager. Dr. Edwards noted he has experience throughout the country and at various levels of government, and he explained he is trying to be better than other places. He added he would like to clear up the titles, roles, and organizations before implementation as it would be cleaner, more effective, and simpler. Mayor Elliott stated it is important they stay consistent with the Resolution, and the Implementation Committee can report back to the Council with recommendations on structure and titles. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated she agrees with Dr. Edwards that they should be more concerned about the duties performed than the titles assigned. She asked what number they are starting at when implementing a freeze of police officer positions. Councilmember Lawrence- Anderson asked what dollar increase is reflected by the latest adjusted budget for evolving their public safety and mental health model for 2022. Dr. Edwards stated they have 14 vacant positions currently in the Police Department. Throughout 2022, they would authorize the Department to hire 11 police officers. They will hear back from the labor study, receive feedback about the pilot programs, and look at the impact on crime in the 12/2/21 -16- DRAFT City by the end of 2022 to inform the 2023 budget and the freezing of positions. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked what would happen in the case of additional attrition in the Police Department. Dr. Edwards stated they would fill those roles. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated they need to consider the additional services from Hennepin County that are not in the contract for the current year. Dr. Edwards agreed with Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson. He noted it will take the course of the year to assess their efforts. Additionally, they can typically only hire 12 police officers in a year, so allowing for only 11 additional officers is not a large change. The Police Department will decide which roles will have the smallest impact in providing a high level of service to the community. He added he had conversations with police staff on the topic. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson noted her support of the six-month increments of reassessing the efforts. Mayor Elliott stated Dr. Edwards also needs to find $70,000 for technical assistance for the Implementation Committee. Dr. Edwards confirmed they could find $70,000. Mayor Elliott stated the $250,000 for the traffic enforcement unit was already in the budget. Dr. Edwards stated Staff increased that item to $260,000. Mayor Elliott stated the Resolution asked for $950,000 for the community response unit. He noted Ms. Gross recommended $517,000 for a 12-hour model, but she agreed with LEAP it should be a 24-hour model at $800,000. Mayor Elliott asked if the adjusted budget covered the full $800,000. Dr. Edwards explained the original budget allocated $267,000 for the community response unit, and the adjusted budget added $366,000. Overall, over $2 million is committed. Mayor Elliott asked how much is specifically allocated to the community response unit. Dr. Edwards stated it would be $518,000 for the community response unit. Mayor Elliott noted Ms. Gross agreed with LEAP it should be a 24-hour model at $800,000. Dr. Edwards stated it will take at least six months to start the programs, so the $500,000 will cover the programming for 2022. Mayor Elliott stated he wants to make sure the budget covers all of the Resolution components and added they will keep the titles the same until the Implementation Committee provides input to the Council. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked what is the increase is reflected by the latest adjusted budget for evolving their public safety and mental health model from 2021 to 2022. Mayor Elliott stated it depends on what they consider public safety. For example, they could argue down payment assistance is a public safety effort. If they define it as traffic enforcement, community response, mental health, and other 911 responders, then it would be $1.05 million-plus the Police Department budget at around $9 million. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked how much money they are putting toward enhancing public safety in 2022 in comparison to 2021. Mayor Elliott stated Dr. Edwards could come back to the Council with that information. Health On The Go would be a public safety effort moving forward where they wouldn’t have considered that a public safety measure in the past. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated that is the point: things that they are doing to promote public safety that they haven’t done before. Councilmember Ryan stated they are planning to allocate $250,000 toward civilian traffic enforcement. They already have community service officers that are already used to writing parking tickets and things of that nature. It was somewhat misleading for outside people to predict 12/2/21 -17- DRAFT how much money they would be saved by police officers not writing parking tickets when they haven’t been doing that. There have been City complaints about parking enforcement. Councilmember Ryan asked if there could be savings to ramp up the community service officers to respond to traffic incidents at a lower cost. Dr. Edwards stated they have had conversations around that, but he hopes the Implementation Committee could influence that decision. The community service officers are unarmed personnel that could be transitioned to other roles. Additionally, the Fire Department could respond to more medical calls as they are already trained for that. It would reduce the number of calls that police are needed for. The City has spoken with local hospitals and emergency medical responders about options for responding without any armed personnel. They are simply waiting for the Implementation Committee to further engage in those conversations. Councilmember Ryan asked if the fourteen open positions in the Police Department include the three police officers on long-term medical disability leave and the officer on limited duty due to an injury. Dr. Edwards stated if someone on long-term disability were to leave, then the Police Department could fill that position. They would only freeze currently unfilled positions. Dr. Edwards noted he discussed the freeze of the police positions with the Police Department staff. Councilmember Ryan thanked Dr. Edwards for his clarification. Mayor Elliott stated the City looks for savings everywhere, and the Implementation Committee will look at all of the options. Minneapolis has traffic control personnel, for example, and there are several opportunities to look through. Mayor Elliott noted Council and Staff have several areas of agreement. Councilmember Graves noted the gap in funding was smaller than Mayor Elliott thought it was, and Dr. Edwards found funds to fill most of that gap. He also got buy-in from the Police Department. Therefore, Mayor Elliott’s proposed budget is not needed. Councilmember Graves asked how they address the Mayor’s proposal in terms of procedure. Mayor Elliott stated there hasn’t been a motion on his proposal, so they don’t have to do anything to respond to it. Mayor Elliott stated they have all done some compromising. Mayor Elliott’s budget included $100,000 more for community programming than Dr. Edwards’ budget, so there is still a gap there. Councilmember Graves stated she agrees there is still a gap. Therefore, the new positions, the Implementation Committee Manager, and the Implementation Committee can seek out additional funding to fill the gap. Mayor Elliott stated they can amend the budget Resolution to what they have all agreed upon. Councilmember Graves asked if that was necessary for light of Dr. Edwards adjusted budget and the small changes he will make after their discussion. Mr. Gilchrist stated the process doesn’t necessarily require the adoption of a resolution. The Resolution may provide findings of a wider context for the numbers, but it is up to the discretion of the Council. Councilmember Graves asked if they can ignore the Mayor’s proposed budget as there was not a motion for it. Mr. Gilchrist confirmed the Mayor’s budget is not officially before 12/2/21 -18- DRAFT the Council for action. Councilmember Graves noted she is confident with the information she has received. Councilmember Ryan stated he sees no need for the Mayor’s proposed budget. ADJOURNMENT Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to adjourn the meeting at 9:23 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 12/6/21 -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 SPECIAL SESSION DECEMBER 6, 2021 CITY HALL – COUNCIL CHAMBERS CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center City Council met in a Special Meeting called to order by Mayor Mike Elliott at 6:35 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor Mike Elliott and Councilmembers Marquita Butler, April Graves, Kris Lawrence- Anderson, and Dan Ryan. Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, City Attorney Troy Gilchrist, and City Clerk Barb Suciu. 2022 BUDGET CONSIDERATION OF 2022 BUDGET AND PUBLIC HEARING City Manager Reggie Edwards introduced the item and explained the meeting was meant for truth in taxation. This type of meeting started about 25 years ago when it became required by State law. The intent was to ensure the people would be informed, to promote public participation, and to increase transparency. Dr. Edwards introduced Interim Finance Director Andy Splinter to continue the presentation. Mr. Splinter explained the purpose of the meeting was to discuss the proposed budget and levy, hear input from the public, and for the Council to consider the adoption of the levy and budget. The budget process began in July with a Capital Improvement Plan and Capital Funds. August 2 included a 2022 Budget Overview presentation. In September, the City Manager recommended a property tax levy of 6.93%. There were several budget study sessions held with the Financial Commission in October. On September 27, 2021, the City Council adopted the preliminary levy, and, on November 22, the Council adopted the 2022 utility rates. Dr. Edwards explained the decisions were made with particular strategic priorities in mind. Resident economic stability was a factor as the economic stability of residents is essential to vibrant neighborhoods and retail, restaurant, and business growth. The City will lead by supporting collaborative efforts of education, business, and government sectors to improve income opportunities for residents. The City prioritized targeted redevelopment by redeveloping properties to the highest value and best use to further accomplish goals regarding housing, job creation, and growth of the City’s tax base. The City will appropriately prepare sites and provide the necessary supporting infrastructure investments to guide the redevelopment of publicly- and privately-owned properties. 12/6/21 -2- DRAFT Dr. Edwards noted they strived for an enhanced community image, meaning the City’s ability to attract and retain residents and businesses is influenced by the perception of the City. Staff and Council will take specific actions to ensure that Brooklyn Center is recognized by residents, businesses, stakeholders, and visitors as a high-quality, attractive, and safe community. The priority of inclusive community engagement intends to provide effective and appropriate services, to clearly understand and respond to community needs. The City will consistently seek input from a broad range of stakeholders from the general public, non-profit, and for-profit sectors. Efforts to engage the community will be transparent, responsive, deliberately inclusive, and culturally sensitive. Dr. Edwards stated for residents and visitors to fully appreciate and enjoy a great quality of life, all neighborhoods must be safe, secure, and stable. Brooklyn Center is committed to ensuring compliance with neighborhood conditions and building safety standards, providing proactive and responsive public safety protection, wise stewardship of City resources, and policies that promote safety, security, and a lasting stable environment. Additionally, the City prioritized proactively maintaining an efficient and effective infrastructure to meet the high level of community expectations. They will plan for and invest in critical infrastructure improvements that enhance safety, improve life quality, and support opportunities for redevelopment, while sustaining the natural environment. Mr. Splinter stated the 2022 budget includes a reduction in property tax bills despite a 6.93 percent levy increase and 62.3 percent of properties will see their City tax liability decrease. There was a decertification of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District Number 3, and the increase in the taxable market was six percent but tax capacity increased 19.4 percent. The utility rate increased 6.7 percent on water, sewer, and storm. However, the City remains 15 percent lower than the peer group average. Cities contracting for purchased water are seeing significantly higher bills, so building Brooklyn Center’s treatment plant is saving residents from significantly higher increases. Mr. Splinter showed a chart with more details on the property tax levy. The total levy increases 6.93 percent, and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority will increase 6.47 percent. He noted a property tax increase or decrease of one percent is approximately $200,000 in revenue. He showed a summary of the 2022 general fund revenues. There is a significant increase in lodging tax, licenses and permits, and intergovernmental revenue. The intergovernmental revenue is due to the grants they have received for public safety efforts. Overall, the general funds are increasing by about 10 percent. Mr. Splinter showed a pie chart depicting the sources of revenue. 76 percent of the general fund is sourced through property taxes, but it is down from 2021’s 77 percent. As for expenditures, there are an increase in public safety efforts, fire, and community and recreation services. There is a 1.62 percent expenditure decrease to police. Dr. Edwards asked Mr. Splinter to speak more about the increase in community and recreation services. Mr. Splinter stated certain services used to be considered under “other services”, so that increased the community and recreation services line and a large decrease in other services. 12/6/21 -3- DRAFT Mr. Splinter stated the major changes driving the levy increase are due to a 1.26 percent levy change in debt service, a 0.78 percent increase in public safety efforts, 1.73 percent increase in cost-of-living adjustment and cafeteria, a 0.78 percent increase in livable wages for part-time employees, 1.07 percent increase for reduced charges for services and fines, and 1.32 percent increase due to excess increment and aid loss. Mr. Splinter showed a slide with public expenditures by function. Police are down from 41 percent to 37 percent in 2022, but there were not a lot of other major changes. Mr. Splinter stated the 15-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is also up for discussion. The projects include public utilities, street improvements, park improvements, and capital maintenance building improvements. 2022 capital improvements total $14.4 million. The Woodbine Area is allotted $9.4 million, the capital building maintenance projects are budgeted for $1.3 million, and there will be $605,000 used for park playground equipment replacement. There is a proposed $8.25 million debt issue, funded through water utility fees, sanitary sewer utility fees, storm sewer fees, and property taxes. There is also a special assessment component to the Woodbine Area project, however, the cash available in that fund is sufficient that bonding for that portion in 2022 is not considered necessary. The levy impact for 2023 is estimated at $213,000 to finance repayment of first-year principal and interest. Mr. Splinter explained the property tax bills for residents may change for a variety of reasons such as a change in property value, change in the relative proportion of one’s property to the total property value in Brooklyn Center, an increase in property taxes requested for operations of the general fund activities and programs, or the four different school districts in Brooklyn Center with different levies and property tax implications. Mr. Splinter showed a pie chart depicting a sample residential property within School District 279. 37 percent of their taxes would be paid to the City, which is down three percent. 27 percent would be paid to Hennepin County and 31 percent would be paid to school districts. He noted the taxes to Hennepin County and the various school districts have increased slightly in comparison with the Brooklyn Center property taxes. Mr. Splinter stated there was an overall six percent increase in market values from 2021 to 2022. The largest increase was due to the increased value of apartment properties followed by the increased value of residential properties. Commercial properties saw a decrease in their value. Mr. Splinter showed a slide with pie charts depicting the change in tax capacity from 2021 to 2022. Mr. Splinter stated the change in market value for the median residential home was 7.7 percent, and the increase in estimated taxable value was 9.3 percent. The median residential value estimated for 2022 was $223,000. He showed a slide with a graph showing the increase in home values with tax values from 2014 through 2022. The tax rates are estimated to decrease. If the levy increase was zero, the median value home would see an $84 or 6.56 percent property tax decrease. Each one percent levy increase or decrease is approximately $10 per year of the median value home in Brooklyn Center. Mr. Splinter showed a table from Hennepin County with the distribution of total property tax amount changes by the number of properties in each category. 61.6 percent of residential properties will see a decrease in property taxes. Additionally, 99.4 percent will increase by $300 or less. The largest proportion of residents will be seeing a decrease. 12/6/21 -4- DRAFT Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked if the purpose of the public hearing is for taxpayers to ask questions. Mayor Elliott asked Mr. Gilchrist to answer the question regarding who can speak in the public hearing. Dr. Edwards stated the purpose of the hearing is for residents to hear about the budget and ask questions about the property taxes or the budget. Mayor Elliott asked Ms. Suciu why people are still in the waiting room. Ms. Suciu stated there are no people in the waiting room. Mayor Elliott stated some people have reached out to him saying they were in the waiting room of the meeting. Mayor Elliott asked Mr. Gilchrist to speak to Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson’s question. City Attorney Troy Gilchrist stated the public hearing is open to anyone who would like to comment. In principle, the hearing is focused on taxpayers as they are impacted by the budget. However, the City cannot limit who speaks because it is a public hearing. Mayor Elliott asked if the Council is ever able to limit who can speak at a public hearing. Mr. Gilchrist stated a public hearing is an opening for folks to speak on whatever topic. The Council should, however, place time limits on speaking to ensure everyone has an opportunity to speak and so that no perspective dominates the hearing. The best approach is to set strict time limits. Mayor Elliott stated he would like all speakers to keep their comments to two minutes. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked if they could hear from residents before hearing from the general public as a courtesy. Mayor Elliott stated he would ask the residents to speak first, but they have no way of verifying residency. Anyone is allowed to speak, and they will run into issues if they try to limit it to Brooklyn Center residents first. Dr. Edwards stated the public hearing is a comment period rather than a question and answer time. Mayor Elliott stated they have maintained members of the Council are welcome to comment at their discretion. Councilmember Butler stated there was a budget line for the Office of Prevention, Health, and Safety in the proposed budget. She asked why it was called that instead of the Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention, as named in the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock- Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution. Dr. Edwards stated the proposed budget includes the Office of Community Prevention, Health, and Safety rather than the creation of a department. Councilmember Butler asked if the funds allocated to the Office are meant to support the Resolution. Dr. Edwards stated it is money to start doing the work from the Resolution. Councilmember Butler stated the last meeting the Council came to a consensus to freeze the three positions from the Police Department. She asked how that is reflected in the budget. Dr. Edwards stated the freezes are a line item within the Police Department budget. 12/6/21 -5- DRAFT Mayor Elliott asked how the budget reflects the money allocated to the community response team. Dr. Edwards stated there was a detailed budget and spreadsheet distributed. The Office of Community Prevention, Health, and Safety have $517,000 budgeted for it. When they found money to cover the gap in funding, it was through lodging tax and freezing Police Department positions. They identified $366,000 to cover the gap, so it permitted them to increase the community response team budget to $517,000. Mayor Elliott asked for Staff to show the budget line item. Mr. Splinter stated the funds are within the Office of Prevention, Health, and Safety budgeted at $1.3 million. Mayor Elliott stated the Council received the budget document, but he had not had the time to go through the line items. He asked Mr. Splinter to pull up the line item they are referencing. Dr. Edwards stated the budget the Council received was based on the last Council meeting. Mr. Splinter stated they are treating the budget similar to the supplemental budget from 2021. The new office is listed under Other Contractual Services. Dr. Edwards stated they have not done a line-item budget for the Office of Community Prevention, Health, and Safety, but that will be forthcoming. The dollars, however, are set aside for the Office. Mr. Splinter stated the code 42010 for Prevention, Safety, and Health includes the Office of Community Prevention, Health, and Safety. The code 6449 showed other contractual services under the Office for $1.16 million. He showed a chart breaking down the distributions of the services that add up to the $1.16 million include mental health, civilian traffic response, community transformational change efforts, and the Implementation Committee. The total money allocated for 42010 Prevention, Safety, and Health are $1.31 million. Mayor Elliott stated there is not a listed item for an alternative community response. Mr. Splinter stated the community response team is reflected in the budget item for $517,000. He explained they can reallocate the funds within the Office as needed. Mayor Elliott asked why the funds are listed under contractual services. Mr. Splinter stated it is a placeholder, similar to how they added the supplemental budget to the 2021 budget. Mayor Elliott stated they are not going to be contracting the services. The Implementation Committee is ultimately going to decide how the funds are going to be used and the contracts may come from there. Mayor Elliott stated Dr. Edwards has said the Office of Community Prevention, Health, and Safety is in the spirit of the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution. They have created a coordinator position while the Resolution calls for a director to a full department. Those terms are relevant to accountability and responsibility in the public safety system. Mayor Elliott stated they need to make sure they are in line with the terminology used in the Resolution to maintain consistency, as recommended by the City Attorney. They have some legal obligations to do that. Dr. Edwards stated there are no legal obligations. The Council is determining the budget as they see fit. The budget does not include a proposed department as it is not fiscally responsible to create the three departments as outlined in the Resolution. The proposed budget includes the Office of 12/6/21 -6- DRAFT Community Prevention, Health, and Safety which would hire a manager to coordinate the efforts, including the pilot programs. Mayor Elliott stated they are talking about $150,000 for the position created by the Resolution. Dr. Edwards stated there is $100,000 for the manager and upwards of $200,000 total for the operations of the Implementation Committee. Mayor Elliott stated he implores the Council to support his comments. They have laid out a vision in the Resolution. Mayor Elliott explained he wrote and presented the Resolution, and he is someone who cares passionately about the issue. He stepped in to provide leadership at a time when it was needed. The Council had the opportunity to review the Resolution. He added he is a Black male, and the issue impacts him directly and deeply. The Council has committed to the community, and the community has spoken passionately in support of the Resolution. Moving forward with a structure that is not outlined in the structure undermines the trust of the public. The City Attorney also recommended they stay in line with the language of the Resolution. They need to stick with the original language until the Implementation Committee says otherwise. Councilmember Butler asked if the Council can revisit items in the budget. As indicated by Dr. Edwards, some things are not necessarily specified in a budget line. Dr. Edwards asked Councilmember Butler to clarify her question. For example, if funds were meant to hire someone, could they later change the function. Or if they could adjust the funds set aside to carry out the work of the Resolution. Councilmember Butler stated Dr. Edwards had mentioned in a previous meeting that was not a budget line for a certain item that could later be funded by pulling money from other sources. Dr. Edwards explained there was a conversation at a previous meeting about allocating $150,000 for the work of the Implementation Committee when there was already $80,000 budgeted for it. Council asked if they could find more money to budget $150,000 for the Implementation Committee, and Dr. Edwards had confirmed they could find the additional $70,000 to further fund the Implementation Committee and the manager. They have also talked about freezing the positions from the Police Department. The question at hand was if they could freeze additional positions or unfreeze the positions down the line. The answer depends on the work-study and looking at crime rates. If there is a change needed in the frozen positions, the Council could propose a budget amendment. Councilmember Ryan moved and Mayor Elliott seconded to open the public hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Lori B. noted she is angry because it seemed like the last meeting there was progress on moving forward with the Resolution. She noted she liked Councilmember Graves’ side-by-side comparison, and the Council was listening to the residents. Lori B. stated one of the problems with Dr. Edwards’ proposal is that it redirects control from the Mayor and the Council into the hands of the City Manager. The fiscal responsibility of the City Manager has to be separate from the policies and the decisions set forth by the City Council as a system of checks and balances. The language is very important and should not be changed. 12/6/21 -7- DRAFT Lori B. stated Dr. Edwards’ plan does not fully fund the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution, and the 12-hour day sets them up for failure. The ex-police officer at a previous meeting agreed with her concern. They need to look at models of other cities where alternative responses are working. Lori B. stated the $350,000 going toward youth and community programs was not being covered in the City Manager’s plan. They need to address crime from a community approach, which starts with supporting children and providing them with the resources they need to succeed. If they don’t address the root of the problem, they are missing the point. Lori B. stated they should rely on Councilmember Graves’ expertise to support youth. Lori B. stated the biggest problem is accountability. The language in the budget needs to follow the language in the Resolution. They need a community-based police oversight committee, but the proposed budget gives more power to the City Manager. It is the role of the City Council to create the policy, and it is the role of the City Manager to fund it. Lori B. stated it is wrong how Dr. Edwards is approaching the budget. Jean L. stated he agrees with Lori B. He noted he has been part of the Resolution process and organized people throughout the community. The public has always called for an entire department because they want robust accountability to the director of the department. The community knows the City needs transformational change, and they want the alternative responses and youth programming efforts to be fully funded. Mayor Elliott has responded to the needs with a promise. Anything short of a new department betrays the department. Real human lives are at stake, so they need to be specific. Minneapolis has an Office of Violence Prevention, and the Minneapolis Police Department is not accountable to that Office at all. Black and brown people have been demanding accountability, and everyone, regardless of skin color, deserves police accountability. Samie B. stated the community response team needs to be fully funded, and there should be a Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention. There needs to be a director, and the police need to be held accountable. The Council should stick with the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution, or else they will be breaking the trust of the community. The Resolution needs to be fully funded as earlier passed. She stated it is very important to her as a resident of Brooklyn Center and family member that police are held accountable. Brihanna S. stated the way Dr. Edwards is introducing the changes to the bill does not sit right with her. It does not create trust between the community and police officers. It does not give her hope. It does not seem like there are any actual changes. There is no accountability for officers to respond to future incidents. The police are meant to protect the community not put people on trial in the streets. The Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution should be fully funded as written. Then the community can see changes are being made and that they are being heard. Law enforcement is supposed to be serving the community rather than their interest. The vocabulary that is being put forth is not creating trust within the community. The new language is meant to placate the community. 12/6/21 -8- DRAFT Sierra stated she is a 21-year-old resident of Brooklyn Center. She moved to the City when she was 12 and attended Earle Brown. As a student, she participated on the swim team for two years and graduated at age 17. Throughout those five years, she was taught by her mom how to use public transportation, manage a budget, build credit, find a job, keep a job, and the importance of homeownership. Not many people in the community get that. Other children’s parents are uneducated, abused, or absent. Instead of building their futures, the youth resort to reliable forms of income such as selling drugs. Youth need a place to go to grow and develop beyond school. Sierra suggested they used the unused Target building for an after-school program for youth to attend. It could include a study room for those who cannot study at home or a gym for those who cannot afford after-school activities. There could be a life skills class about public transportation, budgeting, finding and maintaining a job, and homeownership. It could be another community center funded by the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution. Sierra noted she has a full-time job in Brooklyn Center but will soon be moving to Osseo. She bought her car in Brooklyn Center. She asked how many people in Brooklyn Center have had the opportunities she has had and what the Council is going to do about it. Amity D. noted she does not want to cry in front of them again. She asked the Council to fully pass the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution. Joy noted her agreement with previous sentiments of the public. She added she hopes the Council hears the voice of the young person that spoke previously. Joy explained the community voted for the Council to represent them. The Council needs to fully fund the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution, including the line items that are not included in the current proposed budget. Joy noted Mr. Splinter explained there were placeholders in the budget. Having a finance background, Joy explained she would never present a budget without such details. The budget does not fund youth programming, and the $517,000 only partially funds the mental health response. The budget sets them up for failure. Joy explained she is a resident and taxpayer of Brooklyn Center. Thinking about her black and brown children on the streets, she wants to make sure alliances are not clouding the judgments of the Council. They need to focus on the future of the community. She does not like the idea of redirecting any more control to the City Manager. Dr. Edwards was not voted to be in his position, and it is a job for him. The community is asking the Council to care about their constituents. Lori Best stated the City is doing great, and they are trying to compromise to help the City from every angle. The proposed budget starts the process off and allows the Implementation Committee to work on the programming. As stated by Dr. Edwards, the funds can be rearranged at a later date. Shanna W. stated she is heartened to see the increased political awareness and participation. There are people across many walks of life coming together. Moving toward a department is not a democratic measure as the process has been led by the people. They want people to utilize the democratic process, contact their Council, and express their needs. Shifting would be a detriment 12/6/21 -9- DRAFT to the work of the community. The mothers of Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler have greatly contributed to the process, and they want to see Brooklyn Center improve for other youth. Shanna W. added it is important to continue with the language from the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution. The department supports accountability in the community. Prevention sometimes promotes the quelling of certain voices, but the best way to improve public safety is to support people’s basic needs with good intentions. Harmony K. stated she has multiple residential therapy centers and does 24-hour services all over the State. She has worked in the field as a mental health practitioner for 25 years and is from Stearns County. Stearns County has made several efforts to address mental health. It may be different from how Brooklyn Center wants to approach it, but they could be a resource for the City in determining how to build their program. She noted it is a work in progress, but there is room for error in a 12-hour model. If the alternative response model is only partially funded, there would be massive errors. Several mental health practitioners would be willing to provide input and support to the City. There are services available to them to assist in reforming the current response model. Stearns County works directly with law enforcement to respond to mental health concerns, and it needs to be a team effort. Randy stated the City and Council have done a great job. The Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock- Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution needs to comply with the City Charter. The Resolution was pushed through without proper public outreach or financial details. There are plenty of places to take money from to fund the Resolution other than the Police Department. The Resolution states they are going to put together the Implementation Committee to make determinations about what needs to be created and funded. It is irritating to people in the community that the Council is leaving an open checkbook for the Implementation Committee. Randy added the Charter is set up with a City Manager. There is a lot of distrust with that system, but if there are problems with that, then they need to change the Charter. There is the chance to obtain more grant funding to further fund the Resolution. Many people want all of the details for the budget, but that didn’t happen in the initial Resolution either. Tanya J. stated she was present when the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution was passed. Seven months later, they are still talking about its implementation. She added the permanent fence outside of the Police Department is unnecessary. It is not as scary as it sounds to take money away from the Police Department. Change is scary, but it is necessary. Tanya J. asked how many more mothers have to cry. They need to fully fund the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution sooner than later. She noted Randy does not even live in Brooklyn Center. Tanya J. implored the Council to keep the name of the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution and to fully fund it. Arvid S. noted he is a 49-year resident of Brooklyn Center. He stated the proposed budget makes progress toward the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence 12/6/21 -10- DRAFT Prevention Resolution as well as many other goals of the Council. He recommended the Council vote in favor of the budget. JJ stated she is a young adult of color. She noted her agreement with several previous commenters and their support of fully funding the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution. If they do not stick with the Resolution, they are breaking trust with the community. Today’s youth will become Brooklyn Center’s adults, and the Resolution was passed for a reason. JJ noted as an elementary student, she had the opportunity to interact with firefighters who visited her school. A couple of years ago, she had a positive interaction with police officers. She noted she wishes Duante Wright could have experienced the same kindness from law enforcement. The youth will become adults who will care for the City. Her younger siblings have not had the same experiences as her and current adults may not understand the experiences of the current youth. Randy asked to speak again. Mayor Elliott stated Randy had already had his opportunity to speak. Julie B. stated she has been disheartened. She noted her appreciation of the clarification about who could speak at the public hearing. It is amiss that several of the people who have been speaking are not from Brooklyn Center. As a resident of and employee in Brooklyn Center, the changes are very near and dear to her heart. It is upsetting to see people not support the Resolution. She noted she left the last meeting so hopeful. Julie B. stated the Mayor has asked for order in the meetings, and people such as Randy who have been un-muting themselves, should not be able to speak or should not be allowed to attend. It is not fair for people to speak out of turn. Alfreda D. echoed the comments of Julie B. With all due respect to the Staff, they do not live in Brooklyn Center anyways. Alfreda D. noted her confusion on what changed between the previous meeting and the current meeting. It seems like there is something secretive happening, and it is increasing distrust within the community. She left the previous meeting feeling hopeful, but something changed between the two meetings. Alfreda D. stated she was disappointed in Council for not asking detailed questions about the change in the budget since the last meeting. She explained she is an organizer and property owner in the City, and it is concerning to see how the process has panned out. There needs to be more trust in the process. Mark A. noted his agreement with several of the commenters. He was present at the passing of the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution. At that meeting, he told the Mayor that the Resolution was a step in the right direction but was far from perfect and would take years to implement. Mark A. stated he still agrees with that statement. They need to proceed cautiously if they want the Resolution to be successful. Mark A. added the Council needs to stop putting the cart before the horse. For example, the process needs an Implementation Committee to define what they need to support the Resolution. He asked if the Implementation Committee has been formed. He noted he applied to be on the Implementation Committee, but he has not heard back about his application. The funds are being 12/6/21 -11- DRAFT set aside, and the Implementation Committee will address all of the aspects of the Resolution. They will decide if they need a director or if they need more funds. He was unsure how the proposed responders from the Resolution would be able to handle all of the calls. The City rolled back the hours of the response, but the Implementation Committee needs to decide what the best option is. Mark A. explained the Council needs to pass the budget. If not, the issue needs to be put on the ballot rather than to continue the ranting. They are supposed to be talking about the entire budget, but the community is making everything about the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution. The City needs to focus more on community development than it has been. Brooklyn Center needs to keep making forward progress. There is a good compromise in the proposed budget, and the Council needs to move forward with it. Katie W. stated the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution is important not for her son or Kobe Dimock-Heisler but for other young people that look like them. It is hell to go through what she and Amity D. have gone through. Katie W. contemplated asking for her son’s name to be taken off the Resolution. She does not want her son’s name on a Resolution that is not going to be effective and causes so much division within the community. Instead, she decided to continue asking the Council to fully fund the Resolution as written. It will save lives and allow people of color to drive safely in Brooklyn Center despite expired tabs and air fresheners. Katie W. asked the Council to fully fund the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution. If not, she will call the City to have her son’s name removed from it. Jason stated the facts are that safety isn’t being met in Brooklyn Center. The police may not be qualified. The residents are not as safe as they should be in the year 2021. Several studies have shown adding police does not deter violent crime, and the police are not trained to address the problems they are being asked to respond to. They need to improve their public safety system. Being a small city, they can make a change. They can implement resources for the youth and alternative responses. Brooklyn Center has the rare opportunity to make a change. Jason noted the forum is unfair, and the arena is strange. The Council was elected by the people, and they have the authority to make a change. There is a debate across the country to reform the police or defund the police. Every year of his life, people have talked about reforming the police. All of the reforms have failed. The Minneapolis Police Department has been proven to be affiliated with white supremacy groups, and that does not end at the border of Minneapolis and Brooklyn Center. The police do not serve the community equally. He is not suggesting they eliminate the police, but they have the opportunity to be at the forefront of fixing things. There have been multiple people shot throughout Minneapolis when police were present on the scene. It is clear police do not deter crime. The only place that has reformed police is in Austin, Texas, and they can do something similar to that. Han stated she would like the Council to fully fund the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution and to remove Duante Wright’s name 12/6/21 -12- DRAFT from the title as requested by the family. Han stated the community supports Daunte Wright’s and Kobe Dimock-Heisler’s families. Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Butler seconded to close the public hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Mayor Elliott stated the Council has had several discussions about the budget with the most recent being the meeting on Thursday, December 2. They have come to a compromise and reflected on the compromise. It is incredibly important the line items appear in the respective categories and are designated for the purposes. It is also important to fully fund the Council’s priorities. He noted those priorities are not clearly articulated in the budget. He asked how Dr. Edwards and Mr. Splinter propose to properly earmark the budget as discussed in the previous meeting. Dr. Edwards stated the budget is exactly what the Council agreed to on Thursday, December 2. The budget with every line item was provided to the Council. There is not a spelled-out line item for supplies, personnel, travel, or equipment because they were only discussed on Thursday. They have not developed the specifics because they have not had the time or the direction. In short, the money is assigned to different categories as discussed by the Council in the previous meeting. Mayor Elliott asked if the itemization of the funds will be listed. Dr. Edwards stated the Council already has that. Mr. Splinter showed the Office of Prevention, Health, and Safety budget and the description of those dollars. It showed where the dollars are allocated and the purpose of the allocation. They do not have a completely delineated budget because that has not been developed or designed. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated the December 2 meeting ended in consensus, and everything discussed is reflected in the proposed budget. She noted it is not the first time the City has had a placeholder in the budget. They do not know what the expenses will be because they are brand new expenditures. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated, considering she has looked through the detailed budget and engaged in the previous discussions, she is comfortable that the money has been allocated for appropriate areas as discussed in the previous meeting. She asked Dr. Edwards if she was correct. Dr. Edwards confirmed there was direction and consensus at the end of the last meeting for Staff to create a budget based on the discussion and final consensus. The items have been put into the budget, and line items have been created to reflect the consensus from Thursday, December 2. There is the option to move money down the line within the Office. There is money allocated in many line items to carry out the directives specified by Council. Councilmember Ryan stated Dr. Edwards is the City’s chief administrative officer and he understands the notion of the placeholder is to set aside funds for functions with details to be later determined. The discussions by the Council are reflected in the budget. He noted he is ready to move forward. Councilmember Butler noted there is a coordinator in the budget rather than a director. She stated 12/6/21 -13- DRAFT Dr. Edwards explained the person couldn’t be called a director due to hierarchy. She asked why they call the position a coordinator when they have agreed they need a director in that position. Dr. Edwards stated the proposed budget includes what could work within the existing framework and meet the spirit of the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution in a fiscally responsible way. They chose the coordinator role so a department would not be reporting to another department. The office would report to the City Manager, as all staff does. The coordinator would work with the City Manager to ensure the responsibilities of the office are carried out. The coordinator would not be directing the Police Chief or the Fire Chief because those positions are accountable to the City Manager. The City Manager and the coordinator would carry out the intention of the Resolution and provide direction to the Police Chief and Fire Chief. Mayor Elliott stated there were many listening sessions with the community about the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution. There was never a moment where there were any legal questions raised about establishing departments. It went under legal review, and the City Attorney has never stated they cannot create such a department. The City Manager is making that call, but he is not an attorney. The department is not only a name but has responsibilities attached to it. The community of Brooklyn Center has been engaged, and they have supported the establishment of a department. Changing the name, trying to do something despite the engagement, and saying the department is illegal is a huge mistake. Mayor Elliott stated he will not accept it, and Brooklyn Center will not accept it either. They need to fully fund the Resolution as passed until there is direction otherwise from the Implementation Committee. The community has expressed there will be mistrust if the Resolution is changed. Mayor Elliott implored the Council to support the Resolution as passed rather than the version proposed by the City Manager. The oversight and accountability are incredibly important and central to the work they are doing. There needs to be systemic change. To move forward, Mayor Elliott proposed they fund the Director of Community Safety and Prevention with the $150,000 that is outlined in the budget rather than a position that has been made up by the City Manager. Mayor Elliott moved to fund the Director of Community Safety and Prevention with the funds that are allocated in the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution. Councilmember Ryan asked if Mayor Elliott was suggesting they use the same money allocation with a different title. Mayor Elliott confirmed he proposed they use the same money allocation with a different title. Councilmember Ryan stated the discussion of director versus coordinator was based on the issue of creating an organizational unit that could accomplish the same things. There is an issue of creating another layer of bureaucracy with people of the same rank and title to be giving orders to others with the same rank and title. Councilmember Ryan stated Mayor Elliott made the observation that Fridley has a Director of Public Safety over the Fire Chief and Police Chief. Dr. Edwards commented it doesn’t work very well functionally. They need to decide if they are going to be hung up organizational charts and titles or if they can focus on functionality and delivery of 12/6/21 -14- DRAFT quality services at the point of need. Mayor Elliott stated they are not merely talking about the names of a position. They are talking about the responsibilities as laid out in the Resolution. Transformational, systemic changes are difficult to make, and there are always attempts to subvert them. This is such an attempt because what Dr. Edwards is proposing is not in the Resolution, and it does not carry out the abilities as outlined in the Resolution. The Resolution was passed by the City Council. If they are merely talking about not calling the position a director because it may cause conflict and is illegal, that is a different story. If it is the position as outlined in the Resolution, then-Mayor Elliott is fine with it. The position proposed by Dr. Edwards seems to be entirely different, and it is not okay. It is wrong. The City Attorney spoke to that last time. They need to keep the language in line with the Resolution. If they want the Office of Safety and Violence Prevention to become closer to the language in the Resolution and the position is the same as the Director of Community Safety and Violence Prevention, then-Mayor Elliott is fine with it. He stated it is not about the name, but it is about the duties. They are talking about transforming the system, and it is important to make sure everyone is on the same page when creating a position. Dr. Edwards stated the issue was never a legal matter. He explained he is charged with executing the operation and function of the City to the best of his ability. It was not a matter of legal opinion; rather, it was the best way to functionally execute his charges. Dr. Edwards stated he is not subverting systemic changes. Change is a lifelong passion, hope, and drive of his as a Black man. He is not in a position to subvert change. He explained he is using all of his skills and knowledge to move for change and address issues of systemic racism and inequalities. Dr. Edwards noted before the adoption of the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution, he expressed his concerns with the structure and names. There is a sound reason for his concern. It is the Council’s decision, but Dr. Edwards is providing input and information. He provided the budget from a functional and operational perspective. The Council ultimately decides the budget. The budget is by no means subversion of change. Dr. Edwards stated there are a couple of communities in Minnesota that have public safety jurisdictions. In Fridley, the Director of Public Safety is the Police Chief. In Mankato, they have a Director of Public Safety who is the Police Chief. When they speak of other examples, it is important to be clear about what it means. Dr. Edwards stated he has attempted to present the best model for Brooklyn Center based on its resources. Dr. Edwards stated anyone who has worked in his field would look at the structure of the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution and know it was designed for a much larger jurisdiction. There are currently six departments in Brooklyn Center, and the Resolution called for three more departments. The Council is not necessarily calling for the creation of those departments because it is not operationally feasible. The community response team is one element that will be fully funded. The Council can choose which areas of the Resolution they want to focus on. The City does not have the fiscal capacity for three additional departments as they would have to eliminate an existing department to accomplish that. Dr. Edwards stated he is not recommending it, and the Council is not 12/6/21 -15- DRAFT recommending it. It is disingenuous to say he is subversive because he is explaining they don’t have the resources to fund three departments. He explained he has provided a recommendation for how to best move forward. Mayor Elliott stated he visited Fridley and met their Director of Public Safety. His point was not the personnel but that they had two other departments reporting to one director, and he maintains that point. They have not had any listening sessions on the coordinator position or office to replace the director and department, so there has been no community engagement. Mayor Elliott noted he takes issue with it. Mayor Elliott added Dr. Edwards stated at the previous meeting it would be illegal for a director to report to a director or to have a department underneath a department. Dr. Edwards stated when there is a position that reports to another position, there is a distinguished difference in the name to reflect the differences in experience and ability to comply with pay equity. They cannot have pay equity if they are paying a subordinate the same thing, they are paying a supervisor. The City has a step system and a pay scale. There is a ranking and analysis based on duties and skills. Mayor Elliott stated his point is not the names but the responsibilities of the role. He asked if he is calling it something different because it is creating internal conflict. Mayor Elliott explained his concern is funding the position to carry out the responsibilities as outlined in the Resolution. Dr. Edwards stated the coordinator would oversee an office, report to the City Manager, and ensure the efforts of the Resolution. They would not be a director over the Police Chief or Fire Chief. The intent is the reform will come from the combined efforts of the coordinator and the City Manager. Mr. Gilchrist stated the discussion is getting ahead of itself. Adopting a budget that supports a position does not dictate the title of the position. The original Resolution does call it a director, so that is the current City position. Maintaining the language of the Resolution is important, but it is not so important as to further derail the budget discussion. This discussion needs to be informed by the Implementation Committee. Mr. Gilchrist stated Dr. Edwards has raised several good points about the titles. Mr. Gilchrist noted he did not see anything legally wrong with the director title, but he has not researched that. If Dr. Edwards has pay equity issues that need to be recognized, Mr. Gilchrist stated he would be happy to look into that and bring it to the Implementation Committee. It can be brought to the Council from there for further discussion and decision. Overall, it is an important discussion, but they need to start with setting the budget. Councilmember Graves thanked the public for comments on the budget. She asked Dr. Edwards if the new intention is to secure additional funding for initiatives. Dr. Edwards stated the plan in the budget intends to garner external resources along with some internal resources to get started. As they obtain results, then they will look for sustainable funding sources. External funds can help buffer the use of taxpayer dollars, so it is a matter of building the capacity over time. Councilmember Graves stated the Staff will look for additional grants to fund the efforts, but they are also looking at ways to make the funding sustainable. Councilmember Graves noted there were no meetings since the December 2 meeting. The budget that is being presented is what Council reached a consensus on. She thanked the staff for working 12/6/21 -16- DRAFT on the budget so quickly. Councilmember Graves asked Mayor Elliott if there are specific duties of the director in the Resolution. Mayor Elliott explained the Resolution stated the City will create a new Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention that will be responsible for overseeing all city agencies and city efforts regarding community health and public safety, and ensuring a well- coordinated, public health-oriented approach throughout our city that relies upon a diversity of evidence-based approaches to public safety, and with a director who has appropriate credentials and experience including public health expertise, and that at minimum the following existing and to-be-created City agencies will all report directly to the department and be subject to the authority of its Director: the Police Department, the Fire Department, the Traffic Enforcement Department, and the Community Response Department. Councilmember Graves asked if Mayor Elliott’s concern is Dr. Edwards has not created a department, so there will not be the level of accountability needed because the new position would report to Dr. Edwards. Mayor Elliott confirmed that was his concern. Councilmember Graves stated she doesn’t disagree with Mayor Elliott, but they do not need to have that discussion to get the work started. She noted Dr. Edwards is trying to move forward with a budget to get the work started and has done an amazing job as City Manager under a lot of pressure. Councilmember Graves added there were listening sessions about the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Act after it was passed, but there were no listening sessions before it. Councilmember Graves asked if there were listening sessions to craft it. Mayor Elliott confirmed he had listening sessions before presenting the Resolution to the Council. Councilmember Graves asked why the Council or Staff was not involved in the listening sessions. Mayor Elliott stated the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Act was written after listening sessions at the Heritage Center and the High School. Councilmember Graves stated the Resolution was not created based on some collaborative effort. Mayor Elliott stated it was a result of the listening sessions the Council was present at. Councilmember Graves asked why the Council was not involved in crafting the Resolution. Mayor Elliott stated the Resolution was drafted based on community input, and it was presented to the Council. The Council had the opportunity to comment on it and provide input. Councilmember Graves stated they had to provide input the next day. Mayor Elliott stated it was not the next day. Councilmember Graves stated they were given the draft one evening and they were at a public event with the press the next day. At that event, Mayor Elliott stated they could make a change that day bypassing the Resolution. Councilmember Graves explained she walked out of the meeting at that time because she felt they were being rushed into a Resolution. While the members of the Council may have been present at the listening sessions, they did not know Mayor Elliott was creating a resolution for them to vote on within one day. They held another press conference and then voted on it in one week. By that time, the City Attorney had a chance to look at it and make some changes due to state law. They did not discuss directors or departments. It wasn’t 12/6/21 -17- DRAFT until the last few meetings that they got into the details of the Resolution and what it would mean for their budget. Councilmember Graves stated Dr. Edwards is knowledgeable and moving them forward in the right direction. She stated she is prepared to vote on the budget prepared by the City Manager after the Council’s consensus at the last meeting. They can have a discussion of the departments and directors at a later meeting. Mayor Elliott stated the Council had a week to review the Resolution before voting on it. It was not out of thin air, but it was created after he listened to the young people. Councilmember Graves stated the public did not give input about directors and departments. Mayor Elliott stated the public shared what they wanted to see in terms of change and transformation through at least four community listening and community engagement events. There was an opportunity for the public to come forward and share their vision of public safety. The Resolution is a reflection of community engagement. Councilmember Graves stated she was at all of the listening sessions. Resolutions are generally a vision or a resolve for a body to move forward on. The listening sessions did not include community feedback specifically asking for three departments or a certain director. They wanted alternatives to typical policing, and the Resolution provides alternative policing options. However, there was not one structure proposed to the Council during those sessions. After Mayor Elliott presented the Resolution as a possible structure, Dr. Edwards has done his best to move them forward on that trajectory. Councilmember Graves noted she understands concerns about mistrust, but everyone on the Council is on board with the Resolution. She stated Mayor Elliott is creating confusion and more distrust when there isn’t anything to be distrustful about. They should continue to put more resources toward the Resolution as they develop the Implementation Committee, coordinators, and FUSE fellows. The Council does need to move forward with a budget. By addressing the titles, Mayor Elliott is creating more confusion and making the public think something changed between the December 2 meeting and the current meeting. They are running in circles. Katie W. stated Councilmember Graves would be upset if her black son was murdered on the corner of a street in Brooklyn Center. She wouldn’t be worried about budgets or asking so many questions. Councilmember Graves asked why people are talking about the resolution not being passed. Councilmember Butler stated the conversation is unproductive. There was an issue with how things were done, and they have talked about that several times. The Council has talked about holding each other accountable when things are getting off track, so she is trying to do that. Considering the hour, Councilmember Butler suggested they move forward. Councilmember Butler stated if the funds are in the budget, they can have a discussion about the titles at another time. She noted her excitement for the Implementation Committee and looks forward to processing the applications at a future meeting. 12/6/21 -18- DRAFT Councilmember Ryan noted his agreement that the Council should move on. He asked Mr. Gilchrist if the following was correct: if the debate continues at a considerable length and if a member wants to terminate said debate, the member can make a motion to terminate the debate. If the motion receives a second, then the item is up for a vote. If the motion is seconded, there cannot be debate about the termination. However, the motion to terminate the debate can only be made if another motion is on the table. He noted he hopes the Chair can move forward without the need for said motion. Mr. Gilchrist stated the Council’s policy does allow for that process to terminate debate. However, it is not usually needed, and it seems as though the Council is moving in the direction to continue the agenda. Mayor Elliott stated they are moving forward with the agenda, so Councilmember Ryan’s point is moot. CITY MANAGER'S BUDGET TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR 2022 FISCAL YEAR Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to receive the City Manager recommended budgets and transmittal letter for the fiscal year 2022 and 2022-2036 Capital Improvement Plan. Dr. Edwards stated there was an indication by Mayor Elliott about a preferred way of voting alphabetically rather than what they have historically done by seniority. Mr. Gilchrist stated Mayor Elliott had previously brought up an issue about the order of voting. According to Council rules, there is not anything specific about the order of voting. However, there is a rule about the adoption of Robert’s Rules of Order. Robert’s Rules of Order says the vote should be taken in alphabetical order with the presiding officer being called last. Dr. Edwards asked if Council could vote or make a motion to change the order, they vote in. Mr. Gilchrist stated the Council has arguably already made that decision in defaulting to Robert’s Rules of Order to make that decision. In the future, that could be changed by the adoption of a resolution to insert a rule about the order of the vote. Dr. Edwards asked if the past practice can affect the order. Mr. Gilchrist stated past practices establish a practice, not a rule. Motion passed unanimously. RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 2022 ANNUAL CITY BUDGET Mayor Elliott moved to adopt Resolution No. 2021-151 adopting the 2022 Budget. Mayor Elliott noted there has been extensive discussion about aligning the budget with the Resolution, and the Implementation Committee will come back with recommendations for structure. The budget allocation does not mean they are changing the titles of the positions, but 12/6/21 -19- DRAFT Mr. Gilchrist stated they can make that determination at a later date. The amounts allocated to the initiatives derived from the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Resolution shown by Mr. Splinter are appropriate for the outlined programs including the $517,000 for the community response team, $250,000 for the traffic enforcement team, $150,000 for the Implementation Committee, and others. Councilmember Ryan asked the City Attorney if the exposition from the Mayor with so many details about the budget made after the motion to pass the budget would require someone to make a motion and for someone else to make a friendly amendment. On the agenda, it is simply a matter of adopting the annual budget and its accompanying resolution. Mayor Elliott noted people often make motions with clarifications or amendments. Mr. Gilchrist stated he stepped off the call for a moment and asked for the question to be repeated. Mayor Elliott stated he made a motion with clarifications based on the discussion and explained Councilmember Ryan asked if the motion is in order or if they need to make a friendly amendment to the motion. Mayor Elliott noted the comments he made included the amounts of money allocated for initiatives outlined in the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Act and the clarification the budget allocations are not designating the positions but that the Implementation Committee will return to the Council with recommendations. Mr. Gilchrist stated he sees Mayor Elliott’s motion as providing context to the adoption rather than amendments to the adoption. Therefore, the motion is in order. If there were any changes to the budget itself, it would require an amendment. It is a motion that stands if seconded. Councilmember Butler seconded the motion. Councilmember Ryan noted the Mayor’s comments are pertinent. In the interest of clarity, the comments are welcome after a motion has been seconded. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked if they are approving the budget, they received this evening and if Mayor Elliott was highlighting his desire to reiterate the specific amounts within the budget. Mayor Elliott confirmed his comments were not a part of the motion. Motion passed unanimously. RESOLUTION APPROVING THE 2022 –2036 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AND ADOPTING THE 2022 CAPITAL PROGRAM Councilmember Graves moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to adopt Resolution No. 2021- 152 adopting the 2022-2036 Capital Improvement Plan. Motion passed unanimously. 12/6/21 -20- DRAFT RESOLUTION APPROVING FINAL TAX CAPACITY LEVIES FOR THE GENERAL FUND AND DEBT SERVICE FUNDS AND MARKET VALUE TAX LEVY FOR THE HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY FOR PROPERTY TAXES PAYABLE IN 2022 Councilmember Graves moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to adopt Resolution No. 2021-153 Approving Final Tax Capacity Levies for the General Fund and Debt Service Funds and Market Value Tax Levy for the Housing and Redevelopment Authority for Property Taxes Payable in 2022. Motion passed unanimously. ADJOURNMENT Councilmember Graves moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to adjourn the meeting at 9:47 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 12/9/21 -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 SPECIAL SESSION DECEMBER 9, 2021 VIA ZOOM CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center City Council met in a Special Meeting called to order by Mayor Mike Elliott at 6:30 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor Mike Elliott and Councilmembers Marquita Butler, April Graves, Kris Lawrence- Anderson, and Dan Ryan. Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, City Attorney Troy Gilchrist, and City Clerk Barb Suciu. EMERGENCY ORDINANCE REGARDING MASK MANDATE FACE COVERINGS Mayor Mike Elliott stated the only item to address was the emergency ordinance regarding the mask mandate. He asked City Manager Reggie Edwards to introduce the item. City Manager Reggie Edwards stated the Fire Chief Emergency Manager was present to update the Council on the happenings of COVID-19. Mayor Elliott asked if there was much of a difference between the upcoming presentation and the previous presentation on COVID-19. Fire Chief Todd Berg stated the presentation he prepared was shorter with updated statistics. Chief Berg stated he compiles daily COVID-19 trends and emails them to directors weekly. For Minnesota, there were an additional 3,754 cases on December 8, 2021. There are over 40,000 currently positive cases. Brooklyn Center and Hennepin County are still high transmission areas. They are averaging around 40 deaths each day due to COVID-19, and it is primarily affecting older people. The hospitals are at their highest occupancy rate, and the majority of the people in the hospitals are unvaccinated. Chief Berg stated there were 559 new cases and four new deaths in Hennepin County on December 8, 2021. One teenager and one person in their 30s died from COVID-19 in the past week in Minnesota. The vaccinations are still increasing. Seventy-five percent of people in Hennepin County have one shot. Sixty-one percent of Minnesotans have completed their full COVID-19 vaccinations, and 69 percent of Hennepin County residents have completed their vaccinations. Chief Berg added Brooklyn Center has had 43 new cases and zero deaths over the last week. From October 12 to November 29, Brooklyn Center has a higher 14-day average than most of the Hennepin County cities. There were 3.3 million people in Minnesota aged 12 and up are vaccinated as of October 31, 2021. Three percent of the vaccinated have gotten COVID-19. 4,300 of the 3.3 million vaccinated Minnesotans have been hospitalized, which is 0.100%. 737 of the 12/9/21 -2- DRAFT 3.3 million vaccinated Minnesotans have died from COVID-19, which is 0.022% of the total vaccinated population. He noted Hennepin County has one person with the Omicron variant of COVID-19. Recent news out of South Africa has shown the variant is more contagious but has less serious symptoms. Pfizer representatives have said their vaccine protects against the Omicron variant. Chief Berg recommended the City continue its mask mandate. Chief Berg noted there is guidance from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) about what constitutes a close contact, which is being within six feet of someone with COVID-19 for more than 15 minutes. The liquor stores are going through 1,000-1,500 masks each week for their customers, and many of those masks end up in the parking lot after being used. The liquor stores are also receiving some pushback from customers. Brooklyn Center is unique to have masks in the liquor stores. However, if Brooklyn Center would like to dial back the mandate in the future, they could start with the liquor stores. Considering the CDC’s guidelines about close contact, the liquor store would not likely result in close contact. Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to adopt the Emergency Ordinance No. 2021-04 Renewing the Mask Mandate in City Buildings in the City of Brooklyn Center. Mayor Elliott asked City Attorney Troy Gilchrist if the Ordinance was any different from the previous one they voted on. Mr. Gilchrist stated there was no difference. He summarized the previous ordinances addressing the mask mandate. The Ordinance at hand would carry the mandate forward as it has been. Councilmember Ryan asked if the vote needed to be unanimous. Mr. Gilchrist stated the Charter requires a unanimous vote of all present members of the Council. Motion passed unanimously. ADJOURNMENT Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to adjourn the special meeting at 6:44 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 12/13/21 -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 STUDY SESSION DECEMBER 13, 2021 VIA ZOOM CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center City Council met in Study Session called to order by Mayor Mike Elliott at 6:00 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor Mike Elliott and Councilmembers Marquita Butler, Kris Lawrence-Anderson, and Dan Ryan. Councilmember April Graves was absent and excused. Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, Community Development Director Meg Beekman, and City Clerk Barb Suciu. CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS Dr. Edwards requested to remove item 10a. Resolution Approving Allocation of American Rescue Plan Act Funds as he would be presenting that item in January. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson requested to move 6l. Public Safety Act - Professional Service Contract (LEAP) from the Consent Agenda to Council Consideration item 10a. Mayor Elliott stated he will have to step away at some point during the meeting and Acting Mayor Butler will take over at that point. Hearing no objections, it was the majority consensus of the City Council to accept the changes to the December 13, 2021 agenda. MISCELLANEOUS City Manager Reggie Edwards noted Councilmember Graves was ill and unable to attend the meeting. DISCUSSION OF WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEMS AS TIME PERMITS OPPORTUNITY SITE PILOT PROJECT - CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW Dr. Edwards introduced the item and invited Community Development Director Meg Beekman to make the presentation. 12/13/21 -2- DRAFT Ms. Beekman explained a concept plan review is an opportunity for the City Council to review a development concept, ask any questions, and provide input before a formal application from the developer. This provides the City Council an early opportunity to weigh in on a project and indicate what their priorities are during the City's negotiation process. It is a critical step for Staff and developers to gauge the Council's level of interest and goals while the project is still being developed. Concept plan reviews are an informal step in the process. They are considered advisory and are non-bonding for the City and the application. No Council action is being requested as part of the concept review process. Instead, the developer will receive the input from the Council, and, based on that, determine whether to proceed with a full formal application and review process. Ms. Beekman stated the Opportunity Site Study Area is approximately 80 acres north of Bass Lake Road and West of State Highway 100. The City has been thinking about the area for 20 years. In the early 2000s, there was a study done in partnership with the Metropolitan Council. It intended to look at how aging retail was a challenge for the community and introduce value-adding opportunities. The 2002 Calthorpe Study introduced a concept of a mixed-use walkable town center as a vision for the area. Ms. Beekman explained the plan was further refined in 2006 as the City created a master plan for the area. The master plan identified a series of redevelopment concepts and design guidelines. The 2006 plan continued to support the vision of the area as an opportunity for a cohesive mixed- use neighborhood and City center. Ms. Beekman stated the Council updated the 2030 Comprehensive Plan in 2007 and included the Opportunity Site Master Plan and Development Guidelines. They acknowledged the fiscal challenges of land assemblage and the economic viability of implementing the plan given the current market conditions. The planning stalled out in 2008 during the recession. During that time, the Economic Development Authority began assembling land in the area. The City has been able to acquire 44 acres of the Opportunity Site. Ms. Beekman stated there have been several development concepts brought forward. Those have not moved forward for various reasons, such as financial feasibility or misalignment with the City’s vision of a mixed-use town center. In 2018, the City invited master developers to propose concepts for the 35 acres of City-owned land on the south half of the Opportunity Site. Three concepts were received, and, in April 2018, the City entered into a Preliminary Development Agreement with developer Alatus that would allow them time to develop a master plan for the EDA-owned 35 acres within the Opportunity Site and to conduct due diligence on an initial phase of that development. Ms. Beekman noted the development of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan included the creation of guided land use of transit-oriented development. The land-use policy is driving the conversation of introducing more housing types, more density for more walkability, and connection to existing facilities. Ms. Beekman stated by early 2019, Alatus had refined their overall concept for the site, and the City took the lead on the master planning work and expanded the focus to the full 80 acres. Altus 12/13/21 -3- DRAFT began to hone in on implementing an initial phase of development. The City engaged Bolton & Menk and the Cunningham Group to update the 2006 Master Plan. Ms. Beekman stated in June 2021, the Council adopted the Opportunity Site Master Plan Infrastructure Framework which set the overall vision for the area and outlined four major areas of the overall plan: transportation and access network, parks and open space network, land use plan, and stormwater plan. Once the current phase of community engagement is completed, the work will be incorporated into an Opportunity Site implementation phase, which will complete the Opportunity Site master planning work. Ms. Beekman explained the Master Plan is significantly different than development applications. A master plan is a big picture, the values-driven plan that will inform the development of a future downtown Brooklyn Center. It is a guiding vision for community goals, principles, and benefits that future development should support. It does not grant permission to build on the site, nor does it specify developers. Approving a master plan means the community agrees to a shared vision for the area that will guide future development. A development application includes much more detail and required City documents covering what a developer would build on a site if approved. Ms. Beekman stated the community engagement process has revealed several themes for the project reflecting the values of the community: diversity and inclusivity, affordability, health and wellness, fiscal responsibility, flexibility, community pride, environmental sustainability, local benefit, and counteracting displacement. Ms. Beekman explained the Master Plan is a walkable, mixed-use neighborhood built out through multiple phases of development. The plan includes mixed-density housing, community-driven, affordable incubator markets for local entrepreneurs, outdoor recreation, pocket parks, playgrounds, a park and trail network, public infrastructure, and civic spaces. Earlier versions showed a theater or hotel with the point being entertainment opportunities as driven by the market. There will be opportunities for new retail, restaurants, and grocery with an emphasis on local, smaller-scale establishments and sports and recreation. There is also the potential for some office and light industrial spaces depending on the market. There are goals around the number of units and a certain percentage of affordable housing with further refined affordability bands. Additionally, there is a focus on affordable commercial spaces. Ms. Beekman stated the concept review up for discussion is a smaller portion of the Opportunity Site at the corner of Shingle Creek Parkway and Bass Lake Road. The project team has expanded since the last presentation. Over the last year, Alatus has formally partnered with Project for Pride in Living and Resurrecting Faith World Ministries on the development project. Design by MELO and BKV Group is working on the design portion of the project. Ms. Beekman explained the Pilot Site Development Plan includes 744 housing units, 289 being market-rate, 205 designated as mixed-income units, meaning a little over half of the units would be income-restricted, and 250 units would be affordable where the units would be restricted for those earning 30 to 60 percent of the City’s area median income. There is an emphasis on family housing and units with three or four bedrooms. Also included is a community event center, a childcare center, mental health and therapy suites, barbershop and small business suites, 12/13/21 -4- DRAFT entrepreneurial incubator controlled by the Economic Development Authority, a partnership with Three Rivers Park District for a multi-acre park, a public plaza, and a flex street to allow for more gathering. Ms. Beekman stated NEOO Partners leading the work of community engagement, and African Career, Education & Resource has been overseeing the Citizen Advisory Taskforce. Currently, they are working on round two of engagement, which was somewhat paused due to COVID-19. The Citizen Advisory Taskforce is receiving the community engagement information. Ms. Beekman stated as for the next steps, they will continue to engage with community partners. The development team will host a series of community-wide events, further collaborate with the Citizen Advisory Taskforce on negotiated community benefits agreements, and develop a site plan. There will also be an environmental review done. The entrepreneurial incubator implementation plan is in the works, and there is an upcoming formal land-use review that will go through the Planning Commission and City Council. Finally, a financing plan and a public subsidy application will be reviewed. Chris Osmundson, Director of Development with Alatus, explained they have tried to incorporate input from the community feedback. He noted the Opportunity Site is in a federal mandate zone. In 2018, Alatus created a potential plan. Since then, they changed the development partnership team to include Resurrecting Faith World Ministries. Resurrecting Faith World Ministries has promoted a campus-style development with goals to gather a diverse community together in a safe and pleasurable environment, to unify a diversified community with services and entertainment, to meet the affordable housing needs of the Brooklyn Center community, to provide an affordable and excellent 24-hour child care and learning center for Brooklyn Center, and to provide affordable services in the campus-style community development. It would serve residents of the Opportunity Site and the greater Brooklyn Center community. The core focus was overall wellness. Mr. Osmundson added they have also been partnering with Project for Pride in Living, an organization that specializes in affordable housing developments around the Twin Cities. The organization’s mission is to build the hope, assets, and self-reliance of individuals and families who have lower incomes by providing transformative affordable housing and career readiness services. The three organizations have since been working together to gather community feedback. Mr. Osmundson noted in 2019, there were four community workshops with discussions. Since then and as different development sponsors have been brought on, they have had regular virtual meetings. They have talked about the plan, safety, and accountability on the site, how it can be a better place, and involving those that have not been engaged in the past. The developers have also had meetings with community stakeholders such as the Liberian Business Association and Minnesota Zej Zog. They have been introduced to the Citizen Advisory Task Force and hosted a recent in-person event at the Community Center for the public. Both Brooklyn Center and Alatus have websites with more information about the forthcoming development for the public to access. Mr. Osmundson noted benefits of the project such as an increased tax base, benefit to community schools, new parks, and recreation amenities, increased shopping, dining and entertainment options, more housing options, spaces for local businesses, and water quality improvements to 12/13/21 -5- DRAFT Shingle Creek. Four guiding principles emerged over several community workshops that reinforce a sense of community pride in Brooklyn Center. The principles include embracing the growing diversity of the community, producing places that bring the community together, creating a vibrant and distinctive destination for the community and region, and considering sustainability in the design of the development. As noted by Ms. Beekman, the community engagement process has revealed several themes for the project reflecting the values of the community such as diversity and inclusivity, affordability, health and wellness, fiscal responsibility, flexibility, community pride, environmental sustainability, local benefit, and counteracting displacement. Mr. Osmundson explained the developer team has worked through the feedback to translate it into action items. Alatus LLC was originally the sole developer sponsor, but it became clear they would not be able to provide the diverse and specialized project needed for Brooklyn Center without additional sponsors. They decided to partner on the Pilot Site with Project for Pride in Living and Resurrecting Faith World Ministries. The original proposal was predominantly market- rate housing, but feedback showed a desire for a housing spectrum that is more representative of community standards. The new plan is to include housing that is one-third market rate, one-third mixed-income units, meaning a little over half of the units would be income-restricted, and one- third affordable units where the units would be restricted by 30 to 60 percent of the City’s area median income. Mr. Osmundson noted there was an initial emphasis on hospitality and theater entertainment district. Community feedback revealed that local businesses have been priced out by larger entities, and that showed the need for an entrepreneurial business incubator to be owned and programmed via community stakeholders, the City, and the Citizen Advisory Task Force. Alatus and Brooklyn Center were engaged in a development agreement, and they needed a document that holds development sponsors accountable to the needs and requests of the community so long as feasible. This led to the creation of the Citizen Advisory Task Force, a community benefits framework, and a community benefits agreement for the Opportunity Site. Mr. Osmundson explained the original vision of the Opportunity Site was a downtown destination center. The Pilot Site and Opportunity Site need to create tangible benefits and opportunities for all community members. The campus-oriented development proposal responds to the need and includes complimentary uses such as housing, gathering, and event space with daycare, wellness, and therapy offerings, and a focus on local businesses. Mr. Osmundson noted they have done outdoor peacemaking and have partnered with the Three Rivers District to create a multi-acre green space. In addition to the things they have already integrated, there are more items to discuss with the Citizen Advisory Task Force related to the level of affordability, contracting choices, the target population for housing, incorporation of urban agriculture component, and a community-led design process for the incubator and plaza spaces.

ADOPTING AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 12 OF THE CITY CODE OF ORDINANCE REGARDING TENANT PROTECTIONS AND APPROVE A RESOLUTION TO ALLOW A SUMMARY PUBLICATION OF THE ORDINANCE City Manager Reggie Edwards introduced the item and invited Ms. Beekman to make the staff presentation. Community Development Director Meg Beekman stated this was the second reading and public hearing for an Ordinance that would protect tenants. The Twin Cities Metro Area is currently experiencing record low vacancy rates, which is driven by high demand for rental housing combined with unmet supply. There is a very significant housing shortage, and it is a national trend. Rent is climbing faster than incomes, there is increased interest from outside investors, landlords are in a position to be choosier about their tenants, and there has been a reduction in the number of landlords accepting Section 8 vouchers. The 2020 Census Report identified the cities with the lowest vacancy rates in the country and Minneapolis/St. Paul was the only large city in the top ten cities with the lowest vacancy rates. Ms. Beekman stated 37 percent of Brooklyn Center’s housing stock is rental, which includes 829 properties and 4,340 units. Only about 8 percent of single-family properties are rented. Nearly all of it is considered naturally occurring affordable housing due to its age and condition. The average rent in Brooklyn Center is affordable at between 50 and 60 percent area median income (AMI). Nearly all of the rental housing in the City was constructed between 1961 and 1979 and are largely homogenous with one- and two-bedroom units. There are very few three- and four-bedroom units. Six percent of all housing units, or 17.1% of rental housing, are legally-binding affordable. Ms. Beekman noted the City has been conversing with residents and tenants in the community about rental housing. Many renters are on month-to-month leases, making their housing situations more tenuous. Tenants report frequent rent increases, meaning more than one increase per year. As earlier stated, rent and incomes are not increasing at the same rates. Capital improvements in buildings typically coincide with rent increases, so they see deferred maintenance in some cases. Tenants report concerns over retaliation, such as non-renewals or maintenance fee chargebacks, if they complain about maintenance issues. Furthermore, there is a lack of clarity on how to report maintenance complaints, which has been exacerbated due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and inconsistent parking policies resulting in towing. Lastly, residents have expressed concerns about safety and security. Ms. Beekman explained State law limits the authority of cities to regular private leases between landlords and tenants. In December 2018, the City adopted a Tenant Protection Ordinance that applies protections when a rental property sells to a new owner, provides a three-month advance notice before a new owner can make major changes to lease agreements or non-renew leases, and provides relocation assistance if the new owner chooses not to follow the notice period. In March 2020, the City began working on a housing policy work plan, which includes updating the rental licensing program to strengthen tenant protection. 12/13/21 -7- DRAFT Ms. Beekman added the City began a citywide housing study in January 2021 with the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs (CURA) and Research in Action (RIA) on a citywide housing study. That work has completed its engagement phase, and the Housing Advisory Council is being reconvened to begin reviewing that work and identifying policy recommendations for the City. The housing study is anticipated to be completed in early 2022. The deliverables from the study will be used to complete a Housing Policy Action Plan to address the housing priorities in the city. Staff is anticipating moving forward with programs and policies based on the results of that study. Ms. Beekman stated as a result of extensive input from the community, Staff have been working with the City Attorney’s Office to draft an ordinance relating to tenant protections. This ordinance was to include multiple areas of concern from tenants such as just cause non-renewal, pre-eviction notices, maintenance fees, damage deposits, material changes to the lease, and discrimination relating to public assistance status. Based on the current low vacancy rates and the urgency created by the phasing out of the Eviction Moratorium, staff thought it to be necessary to expedite portions of the ordinance relating specifically to items addressing evictions and non-renewals. Ms. Beekman explained the Ordinance presented that evening includes a pre-eviction filing notice, which requires a 30-day written notice before filing an eviction and allows for the parties to work out the issue. Once an eviction is filed on someone’s record, it is more difficult for them to find housing in the future, and the proposed Ordinance would help to alleviate concern. Ms. Beekman stated the Ordinance also includes a just cause non-renewal, which establishes a just cause requirement to be met to prevent a property owner or property manager from non-renewing an existing tenant’s lease. Just causes could be nonpayment of rent, material noncompliance, tenant non-renewal, occupancy by a family member of a property owner, building, demolishing, conversion, rehabilitation, renovation, complying with a government order to vacate, or occupancy dependent on employment. Ms. Beekman stated the Ordinance declares a waiver is not allowed by a tenant to waive their rights and allows for private enforcement, where a person harmed by an owner in violation of the Ordinance may bring action against the owner in District Court. Ms. Beekman explained the Ordinance did go to the Housing Commission, and the Housing Commission received feedback from multiple housing advocacy groups such as African Career, Education & Resource (ACER), Homeline, and the Housing Justice Center, as well as numerous Brooklyn Center tenants. It was strongly recommended by all agencies and tenants to expedite and approve the ordinance specifically relating to evictions and non-renewals. The Housing Commission unanimously approved a recommendation to approve the proposed Ordinance. Ms. Beekman stated they have also received feedback from landlords. In regards to the eviction notice requirement, there would be more time where a landlord may or may not be collecting rent, landlords may increase income and credit score requirements if evictions are more difficult, and landlords will be quicker to provide notice of eviction rather than accepting late payments or working out payment plans. As for the just case non-renewal, it could increase evictions as non- renewals are often used instead of an eviction, and landlords may become stricter on minor lease 12/13/21 -8- DRAFT infractions. An alternative solution offered was to require a 75- to 90-day notice for non-renewals instead of a 30-day notice. Ms. Beekman offered to answer any questions the Council may have. Mayor Elliott thanked Ms. Beekman for the presentation. He noted the heightened interest in the topic from the community, and the Council has not acted as quickly as they should have. It has been the work of many organizations and residents to create the Ordinance. Additionally, Ms. Beekman and the City Attorney have put a lot of work into the writing of the Ordinance. Councilmember Ryan stated he found some information from the Attorney General’s Office on the topic of retaliation. Councilmember Ryan quoted a memorandum from the Attorney General, “A landlord may not evict a tenant or end a tenancy in retaliation for the tenant’s “good faith” attempt to enforce the tenant’s rights, nor can a landlord respond to such an attempt by raising the tenant’s rent, cutting services, or otherwise adversely changing the rental terms. For instance, if a tenant has reported the landlord to a governmental agency for violating health, safety, housing, or building codes, the landlord cannot try to “get even” by evicting the tenant. If within 90 days of a tenant’s action, the landlord starts an Eviction Action or gives the tenant a notice to vacate, the law presumes that the landlord is retaliating. It will then be up to the landlord to prove the eviction is not retaliatory. However, if the landlord’s notice to vacate comes more than 90 days after a tenant exercises the tenant’s rights, it will be up to the tenant to prove the eviction is retaliatory. These provisions also apply to oral rental agreements.” Councilmember Ryan stated his concern is that the Council understands the implications of the Ordinance and the changes it could create. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated she would like to defer comments until after the public comment period. Hearing no objections, Mayor Elliott opened the Public Hearing. Bob G. stated he owns and operates 86 rental units in Brooklyn Center, and his largest property is on Willow Lane. He explained he has spent his life providing reliable, safe, clean housing. He originally purchased a duplex at the University of Minnesota while he was in college, so he has been involved in renting for a long time. Bob G. explained he was asking the Council to vote against the Ordinance as there are other tenant protection ordinances and laws in place at other levels of government. Bob G. stated while he agrees with the idea of protecting tenants from scrupulous landlords, this Ordinance creates major loopholes for bad actors that will make housing in the community worse off. Proving a just cause for a lease violation is next to impossible. He has had over 1000 tenants, but he has not had a just cause eviction, except for six or so nonpayment of rent as those is easy to prove. Bob G. asked the others to think of themselves as housing providers. It takes a lot of money, at least $200,000 or more, to create a single unit. There is a huge time and money investment in providing housing. Most of the time, a tenant will treat a property well. Every once in a while, a tenant will be disrespectful to the property, neighbors, or the community as a whole. He asked the Council to consider someone living in their home and being disrespectful to the property and the neighbors. For example, maybe a tenant is dealing drugs in the hallway, routinely harasses 12/13/21 -9- DRAFT neighbors, or vandalizes other tenants’ vehicles. There could be a boyfriend that shows up in the late hours to throw rocks at windows. Bob G. noted he has someone who canceled garbage service and kept six months’ worth of garbage in their garage resulting in a mouse infestation for multiple units. Bob G. stated all of those scenarios are just cause violations. However, none are provable in a court of law. By being unable to manage certain people, it creates a negative environment for all renters. They should not make a wholly bad environment due to a few bad actors. Bob G. stated he has spent 33 years investing his time and money into providing safe, reliable, clean, affordable housing. If the City wants a cleaner, safer, more reliable, more affordable housing environment, then it is vital to receive input from housing providers. Making it more difficult for housing providers to provide housing will ultimately decrease housing availability. More vacancies would give much more power to tenants naturally. He asked the Council to oppose the Ordinance and offered to provide input to improve the Ordinance that will help the community. Fadumo M., Housing Organizer at ACER, explained she was there to share a story related to the lack of protection for non-renewals. During the pandemic, a friend of hers and a mother of nine did not have her lease renewed. She was unable to find a place for over a month. During that time, the woman and her nine children lived at their grandmother’s one-bedroom apartment. Fadumo M. stated non-renewals are used to displace people silently, especially when there is not a reason for eviction and the landlord wants to make more money. Renters need an actual reason, other than profit, for why they are losing their homes. Fadumo M. added non-renewals have been especially devastating during the pandemic. For example, someone lived in a rental property for 11 years and was forced to move, risking their physical health. Some people are put into precarious month-to-month leases where they don’t know what their future holds. Tenants should be given adequate notice before an eviction so they are not in danger of losing their housing stability. The notice helps the tenant and landlord to resolve issues. Fadumo M. noted she only shared a few of many stories of tenants in Brooklyn Center. Fadumo M. stated all of the feedback from landlords shared by Ms. Beekman was essentially retaliation. Landlords are saying they will retaliate by making it more difficult to access housing if the Ordinance passes. Fadumo M. pointed out it must be extremely difficult for tenants to make requests of their landlords. Randy stated he has been a resident of Brooklyn Center for about 50 years. He owned a condo previously and became a reluctant landlord. He explained the Ordinance would make people on both sides angrier and cause landlords to force people out long before they should. Landlords will say they have to do an eviction or non-renewal whether or not they want the tenant to leave because of the timing constraints and threat of the tenant claiming retaliation. It seems backward in trying to resolve issues and makes the process more difficult for everyone. There is the potential for people to get thrown out of housing for no reason. Lovetee P. stated she has experienced retaliation, non-renewals, evictions, and security issues. Some people live in her area that has been on month-to-month leases for three years. The tenants 12/13/21 -10- DRAFT have asked for renewals multiple times, and they have wanted renewals even more due to the pandemic. The month-to-month leases were due to a previous landlord that instated the month-to- month leases for no reason. The tenants don’t know what their futures will look like. Lovetee P. asked why landlords are evicting tenants when there is a huge amount of sick and jobless people. The country is going to crash. Eviction should not even be a concern, and people should be kept safe. If they give people more notice for evictions, it does not help the issue of eviction. Tenants are also applying for rental assistance and not being approved. The country is going through a crisis, and they should be talking about lease renewals rather than evictions and non-renewals. Lovetee P. added there are security issues at her residence, and there need to be cameras in the parking lot. There are additional expenses incurred when someone steals or tows a resident’s car. For example, one of her neighbors with a handicapped parking pass had her car towed, and it took over 40 days to get it back. They even had to protest to have the vehicle returned. It is not right for landlords to evict residents for speaking up for what is right. Lovetee P. stated the Council needs to listen to her concerns. She asked how long it would take for something to change. Lovetee P. showed a notice she just received from her landlord notifying her of a rent increase. The landlords are using their words and actions against their tenants. If the City wants people to be safe and happy, they need to protect the rights of tenants. Lovetee P. explained the rent assistance is moving slowly, and they cannot request maintenance anymore in fear of retaliation. Leases should always be renewed unless the tenant wants to leave. People are resorting to shelters due to non-renewals and evictions. The issue is very serious. Cecil S., President, and CEO of the Minnesota Multi-Housing Association (MHA) stated his organization is opposed to the Ordinance. The policies are detrimental to the rental housing market of Brooklyn Center and should be rejected. The members of MHA, along with himself, are in the business of making homes for people. They take great pride in their work as it is meaningful and important. It is the best business practice to keep people housed. Evictions and other displacement are costly for the resident and the property owner. Therefore, evictions are rare. Minnesota has one of the lowest eviction rates in the country. The State has not reached its pre-pandemic eviction rate despite predictions that evictions would increase after the moratorium ended. Cecil S. stated the Ordinance is a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. Problems need to be defined, and targeted solutions need to be identified to respond to those problems. MHA did not engage in the development of the Ordinance, which is remarkable considering it is an Ordinance that will regulate the housing industry in Brooklyn Center. The housing providers were not engaged meaningfully in the development of the Ordinance, and the Council does not understand the negative side effects and damaging potential. MHA urges the Council to fully engage with housing providers in the community to properly understand the implications of the potential regulations. Cecil S. suggested they look at the individual problems at the properties with problems instead of imposing a broad-sweeping policy. The City could offer specific tools and remedies to address 12/13/21 -11- DRAFT the real issues, particularly those that already exist in State law and City Code. Cecil S. reiterated his opposition to the Ordinance. Erik F. stated the issue is very complex that requires complex solutions. He agrees that housing providers were not asked to provide input on the Ordinance. He works with Soderbergh Apartment Specialists, a company that owns and manages about 25 percent of the rental housing in Brooklyn Center. In speaking with Ms. Beekman and some Councilmembers, he learned the company’s properties were not a source of complaints. Soderbergh Apartment Specialists take pride in the quality, safe housing at or below the 60 percent AMI. Erik F. stated the Ordinance is going to have drastic effects on the community, especially because housing providers were not consulted. He noted he sent a detailed email to the Council and could expand on it if need be. There are unintended consequences for the well-intended Ordinance. An eviction is a tool of last resort, and housing providers in his network are acutely aware of the damage eviction does. It is also difficult and expensive for property owners. Everyone would prefer to work out the issues apart from the eviction process. Erik F. explained he has multiple examples of situations where the Ordinance would have a negative effect. His tenants facing economic insecurity are usually in the situation due to something catastrophic, and a 30-day notice does not provide sufficient time to support a tenant through a catastrophe. The Ordinance creates a timing issue. The Ordinance ultimately deters housing providers from entering into negotiations because the risk of default gets pushed out. When there is more flexibility, housing providers are incentivized to work out an alternative solution. Erik F. noted Soderbergh Apartment Specialists have grace periods on their leases because they understand people do not always get paid on the first day of the month. However, if the Ordinance passes, they will have to reevaluate that policy. It is heartbreaking to hear from residents that are experiencing the consequences of poor owners. Erik F. explained he has a tenant who smokes marijuana very regularly, and they lost a great resident who lived next door to the tenant who smoked. The second tenant chose to move out because of marijuana use. Additionally, there is a single mother with a wonderful child who lives above the unit with the marijuana smoker that is trying to exit the lease because she does not believe the apartment is a safe environment. Under the proposed Ordinance, there are no tools to remedy the aforementioned situation. Erik F. reiterated his opposition to the Ordinance and suggested the City engage with property owners to develop a better solution. Nancy S. stated she has been on a month-to-month lease for about a year and a half. When she got home today, she saw her rent increase again. She stated all of her requests go ignored. They have given her an eviction notice twice before, but she explained she had nowhere to go so they worked something else out. She does not know why she is on a month-to-month lease. Nancy S. asked if the landlord has the right to increase her rent if she is on a month-to-month lease. Marie V. explained she lives at Georgetown Homes, and she agrees with previous speakers. The office of Georgetown Homes is always trying to increase the rent. They do not update the units, and everything is falling apart. Paying rent should allow them to live in a nice place. They do not 12/13/21 -12- DRAFT have anywhere to go, so they are putting up with it. Additionally, they are afraid to speak up in fear of retaliation. If a tenant goes to the office, they respond with a non-renewal of lease or eviction. It is not right. Marie V. stated her unit is falling apart, and the carpet smells. She asked how long it will be before a change. She urged the Council to fight for them and speak for them. Tilee D. noted she lives in Georgetown. She stated people should have a longer notice for eviction. Housing providers should not retaliate against tenants with evictions. If the tenant is damaging the property or disrespecting the property, it is one thing. If someone is having financial difficulty or lost their job due to the pandemic, that is another thing. People that are unable to get on the rental assistance list are evicted. It is hard to find housing in the case of an eviction. Georgetown will give an eviction notice with only 30-days’ notice, and that is not enough time to find proper housing. Tilee D. explained Minnesota housing depends on credit, and a majority of people do not have good enough credit to get a second place. If they do have good credit, it still takes a long time. If housing providers were in their shoes, they would treat them differently. The majority of people living in Georgetown Homes are black and African. Georgetown gets away with things they do to the Africans that they would not do to Americans. Foreigners do not like to retaliate or stand up because they are afraid and many foreigners do not know their rights so they hold back for the sake of peace. Tilee D. explained if she was evicted, she and her child would have nowhere to go because she does not have family in Minnesota. 30 days of notice is not sufficient time to find another place to live. It is not fair to use eviction as retaliation. Some people try their best to pay their rent, and some people have lost hours at their jobs. Tilee D. noted she is speaking on behalf of many people facing the same issues. She added shelter is not a safe alternative. Roger K. asked if he could address the Woodbine Street project. Mayor Elliott stated it was a public hearing related to the Tenant Protection Ordinance. He explained open forum, the opportunity to speak on any matter, was held earlier that night. Roger K. stated the letter he received stated there would be time to speak about the project during the meeting that evening. Mayor Elliott stated there would be time to speak about the project, but they are currently discussing the Tenant Protection Ordinance. Roger K. asked to speak after the Tenant Protection Ordinance discussion was completed. Mayor Elliott stated he could speak during the fourth public hearing. Cassandra B. stated those in disagreement with the Ordinance do not understand the feelings and perspectives of the renters. Some housing providers may run their properties differently than other landlords. Cassandra B. explained they have the right to care about the property, and they want the same respect. The 30-day notice for eviction does help a tenant because it allows the tenant to figure out what they need to do. Cassandra B. noted the opponents disagree with the Ordinance because it gives them less power. Currently, landlords have all of the power. Even the good tenants are being walked on by some landlords. Cassandra B. explained she cares about where she lives and her surroundings. She respects her neighbors and wants respect from her neighbors. She also respects people in the 12/13/21 -13- DRAFT office. The eviction notices will help tenants and give them time to speak to the landlord. It is a process for property owners to file evictions. Tenants don’t have great credit, and the evictions put them back even further. Cassandra B. stated they are still in a pandemic, and many people are still trying. Not all tenants can be put in the same basket. Similarly, there are good landlords and bad landlords. Tenants need to have a say in the happenings of where they live. She explained she is a good tenant, and the landlord does not respond to her concerns about the residence, such as people smoking marijuana. Instead, the landlord retaliates against people that want to live in a better environment. Tenants are giving their money, so they should have a say in what happens in the residences. Joy stated she has worked as a housing provider, and the Ordinance does not bind the property owner. Instead, the Ordinance allows tenants to take corrective action. Once an eviction is filed, it is on someone’s record. Even if a tenant were to win their eviction case, it stays on their record. Evictions work against a tenant in the present and the future. The housing options become even more limited, and tenants have to find a landlord that will accept their evictions. Tenants do not feel like they can hold their property owners accountable for repairs or other maintenance because they have limited housing options. Joy recommended the attendees think about the proposed Ordinance from the perspective of tenants. The community should be supporting one another. Some people do not want to own a home, and that is okay. She asked how they foster positive relationships between property owners and tenants. Martina S. stated she lives at Georgetown. A few months ago, her neighbor had bed bugs. It was treated, but the landlord said it was not management’s fault. The tenant with the original case of bed bugs had to pay for the treatment of all affected units. However, the management still charged Martina S. for bed bugs. Martina S. explained it was unfair. Another resident from Georgetown stated the policies are not working. People checked if there were bed bugs in his unit last April. His neighbor had bed bugs. Around that time, he left for military duty. When the neighbor’s unit was cleaned, the bed bugs migrated to his unit. His fiancé had to take their kids to his parents’ home. The previous manager acknowledged it was not his fault because it was cleaned. When the resident returned, he received bills for the bed bugs. If they keep saying he owes money for the bed bugs, he will take out a lawsuit against the management because the management cannot charge him for something he does not owe to them. The resident explained when he highlights problems, they retaliate. He stated management’s treatment of tenants is highly racially influenced as there are a lot of people of color that live in Georgetown. It is an issue of racial equality. Brooklyn Center needs to improve its policies as they do not currently support the daily life of the residents. The City should take a holistic approach to improve housing conditions. Another example of the bad management at Georgetown is they told him he owes late rent. He showed them a receipt of the transaction but still had to pay additional money. 12/13/21 -14- DRAFT Mayor Elliott thanked him for his comments and stated they are taking note of their concerns. The concerns are not new to the Council, and they are working on the issues. Housing is fundamental, and they will follow up on his comments. Beatrice A. stated she has lived at Georgetown Park since 2011. In recent years, the tenants have not been treated well. There have been cars stolen. If tenants go to the management and report a car is missing a part, the manager says it is not the property owner’s fault. The tenant then is responsible to get it fixed. Her brother’s car has been stolen twice, and the management did not provide a good answer. They had to replace the car with their own money, but they are still respectful to the office. Beatrice A. added the property owner wanted to create an extra parking space and had the tenants pay for it. When they billed her for the extra space, she said she did not ask for an extra parking space. It is the responsibility of the property owner to pay for their property. She stated her role is to pay her rent and keep her property clean. It is not right for the management to treat them that way as they are taking care of their property, but the management is not caring for the tenants’ property at all. There were even lockdowns in the area at one point, and it was very scary. Beatrice A. stated for the money the tenants spend, especially on the parking cost, the property owners should repay them for costs incurred related to their cars. If tenants speak up for their rights, the owners will retaliate. Beatrice A. told the property managers if they want her to leave, then they should help pack up her belongings and find another place for her to go. The management doesn’t care about the property of Africans, and they only care about their property. Jayme stated she lives in Victoria Townhomes and was speaking on behalf of several residents. She explained her brother Randall Smith was just murdered on the 17th. On the 18th, she received a letter from the property managers that they were not renewing her lease. They did not provide her with a reason why. In talking to other residents, 14 residents received non-renewals of their leases. Jayme noted she understands the concerns of the property owners that have spoken, but some good renters are being mistreated. If there are people that are mistreating property or smoking marijuana, they should not have their lease renewed. However, there are people like herself that are respectful, quiet tenants who are being put out. Jayme explained a lot of people at Victoria Townhomes have received COVID-19 assistance, and that is part of the reason why their leases are not being renewed. Additionally, sewers and tubs are backing up, the management doesn’t keep the property clean, there are no screens on windows, and closet doors have fallen on children. Even if they are receiving COVID-19 assistance, renters should be able to live in a place that is safe and secure. She noted she has been working with ACER in the last few weeks. Jayme stated she received a 60-day notice, but the official notice didn’t come for a couple of weeks after the 18th. She asked the City to protect the tenants that are not destroying property and for the City to speak to management to improve conditions. Jerry S. stated he strongly suggests the Council passes the Tenant Protection Ordinance. The landlords that oppose the Ordinance do not want to be regulated. If the Ordinance passes, the property owners will have to provide more reasoning before removing someone from their housing. Jerry S. explained he lives in a unit that was built in 1964. Almost every year, there has 12/13/21 -15- DRAFT been a rent increase of around $100. The owners should have gotten enough profit by now. He asked the Council to pass the Ordinance. Mayor Elliott asked what Erik F.’s specific concerns with the Ordinance are. Erik F. thanked Mayor Elliott for the question and noted his appreciation for the dialogue. It is difficult to hear about the negative experiences of the tenants living in other properties, and it angers him to hear about how other landlords operate. The proposed Ordinance, however, does not address the concerns they have with their landlords. Erik F. stated his concern with the Ordinance is the unintended consequences. His business operates according to the rules, and they are highly regulated by City and State law. The residents that have spoken have not been represented by organizations or advocates that can address their issues, but there are resources out there to assist them. The Ordinance does not address their concerns. Erik F. stated the issue with the Ordinance is timing. He prefers to settle things outside of court. When there are stricter regulations, it makes the process more difficult. The Ordinance will increase mental health concerns on both sides of the issue as it will make the process more frustrating. A side effect of the Ordinance will be increased evictions, which have a substantial impact on mental health. Erik F. explained all of the quality housing operators support protections for tenants. They want them to feel cared for and heard. The Ordinance creates problems that will have implications on residents and operators that are not facing issues currently. Most of the residents are wonderful people, and operators have great relationships with them. Unfortunately, the just cause non- renewal portion of the Ordinance makes it more difficult for the property owners to support their good tenants. It is very difficult to prove many of the just causes in the court of law outside of nonpayment. Erik F. stated there is a way to fulfill the goals of the Ordinance and address the concerns of the residents. The licensing policies in Brooklyn Center are some of the best in the country and provide a targeted approach to some of the bad property managers. Those can be used to remedy some of the issues. St. Louis Park and Minneapolis have notice provisions on an intent to file, and 30 days is the longest he has ever seen. Timing is a concern. Erik F. explained he would like to work with the City Council and Staff to create an ordinance that would help everybody. Mayor Elliott stated the Ordinance seems unnecessary for Erik F. because he works with his tenants. He noted not every tenant has the luxury of a landlord with similar practices. If they do nothing, it affects the tenants with a worse landlord. Erik F. noted he shares the Council’s concerns regarding the landlords with predatory practices. However, the Ordinance itself will affect how all landlords operate. While the tenants of quality landlords are not currently experiencing problems, they will begin to experience issues if the Ordinance passes. The 30-day notice provision would be very cumbersome for the grace periods that work around people’s pay days and finances. Erik F. stated they would typically call a tenant to address those issues, but the Ordinance may force landlords to file a notice to get the long 12/13/21 -16- DRAFT process started in the case that issues cannot be resolved. There are tools already in place to protect the residents that have been commenting, and the Ordinance in question may have negative broad- reaching impacts on the whole community. Mayor Elliott stated if someone fell behind on their rent, the Ordinance would be enacted to give the tenant notice. Although they wouldn’t be required to, the landlords may send a notice after a missed payment. Mayor Elliott asked how that would be detrimental to the tenant. Bob G. asked to speak to that question. Mayor Elliott asked if Bob G. was with Erik F. Bob G. stated he was not with Erik F. and explained he is a landlord himself, so he has an answer to the question. Mayor Elliott asked to hear from Erik F. Erik F. stated the notice of intent to file is alarming. It would discourage landlords from entering into an extended payment plan because the provisions are so long. The landlord would have to file a 30-day notice or hold stricter to their existing guidelines. As earlier stated, most of the tenants that are falling behind on rent are in the position because of something catastrophic. That catastrophe will not be remedied in 30 days, so it puts an undue burden on landlords when the payments require an extremely long window of notice. If the payment isn’t completed in the window, the landlord would have to file another notice, which pushes the process out another 45 to 60 days, or they don’t enter into a payment agreement because it would be difficult for the parties. He noted that is a hypothetical scenario. Erik F. noted in St. Louis Park, the 7-day notice encourages landlords to work with the tenants because there is the ability to move quickly. Most of the time, the issues are settled outside of evictions. However, defaulting on a payment or moving out with money owed affects future rental verification processes. Eviction is not the only harm to come out of the process, and most landlords would prefer to avoid the eviction process. An agreement between parties would not negatively affect a tenant down the line. Erik F. suggested a longer notice period of non-renewal such as 75- or 90-day which accommodates time for the tenant to find housing. He added he does not know any landlords who would like to remove a good tenant. Mayor Elliott asked if Erik F. would prefer a non-renewal notice period. Erik F. confirmed he would prefer a 75- or 90-day notice period instead of a just cause for non-renewal. It accomplishes some of the goals such as 30 days being a short time for someone to find alternative housing. When there is a just cause situation, it is difficult to prove and disrupts other residents in the process. Bob G. stated one of the most common issues is the nonpayment of rent. His tenants know rent is due on the first day of the month. They send out a letter reminding people rent is past due on the seventh day of the month asking them to pay. On the fifteenth, they send out a letter telling the tenant to enter into a payment plan within three days or the landlord will file an eviction notice. That gets to the seventeenth of the month. If they spend time working out a payment plan, that may take them through the end of the month. If there is still no payment of rent, it would then be 12/13/21 -17- DRAFT time for the landlord to file for notice of eviction. With the 30-day notice requirement, the landlord would be out two months of rent before they can start the eviction process. Bob G. stated the Ordinance, on the other hand, would encourage property owners to file for notice of eviction on the second day of nonpayment because there would be at least 30 days before the eviction process. Bob G. explained he sees renters that normally don’t pay until the 3rd, 4th, or 5th of the month. Those tenants may receive eviction notices which cause undue stress on multiple parties. Bob G. stated he has given a five-day grace period for his entire career, but the Ordinance forces sooner and sooner notices. Bob G. stated he has never evicted a tenant within 30 days of the 1st of the month, and it seems impossible with all of the steps involved. The Ordinance will create a lot more notices for eviction. He explained he does not want to send out notices, and his tenants do not want to receive notices. Samuel S., an Attorney and Research Director with Homeline, explained Homeline provides free, confidential legal advice to tenants through their hotline. He noted Homeline supports the Ordinance. The pre-eviction notice will help them remain in their homes by allowing them to address the underlying process. Alternatively, it allows the tenant to seek legal advice about how to protect their housing. It is good for both tenants and landlords and will result in fewer eviction processes, saving everyone time. Samuel S. stated the 30-day notice period would not speed up the eviction process. While landlords may have to give notice a few days earlier, but tenants would rather receive a notice a few days earlier if it provides them an additional 30 days to handle the eviction. Homeline has not looked at the specifics for Brooklyn Center, but it has for Minneapolis. In Minneapolis, the vast majority of evictions are filed within 30 days, so it will not speed up evictions. Samuel S. explained the notice will not affect landlords that are already working with their tenants. Samuel S. stated the just cause for non-renewal will help people to stay in their homes. Tenants have expressed a strong fear of retaliation. Minnesota does prevent retaliatory notices to vacate, but proving the notice is retaliatory falls on the tenant. One landlord mentioned it is difficult to prove a tenant is smoking marijuana. Similarly, it is difficult for a tenant to prove a notice is retaliatory. The only way they can prove it is retaliatory is by forcing the eviction. If the court decides against them, they have less time to leave their housing. The Ordinance will help residents stay in their homes, stay in their homes longer, and allow them to assert their rights as tenants. Samuel S. added the COVID-19 protections have most ended, but the conditions caused by the pandemic have not ended. Agnes O., a representative with ACER, stated she was not a tenant, but she has rented in Brooklyn Center. She explained she favored the Ordinance. Some of the things mentioned by landlords seem retaliatory, as noted by Fadumo M. A landlord stated it was difficult to prove just cause with the example of the smell of marijuana or damages. Smoking recreational marijuana is illegal in Minnesota, so that should protect the landlord because the tenant is engaging in illegal activities. Similarly, damages are illegal. There is usually a recording of the unit before someone rents it, so it would be easy to prove if there were damages done by the tenant. 12/13/21 -18- DRAFT Agnes O. noted her agreement with Joy that evictions have a devastating impact on tenants. A history of evictions make it difficult to rent in the future and forces individuals into subpar housing. The landlords that have expressed concerns for residents should also be concerned about evictions. The landlords also mentioned evictions are rare. If that is true, then the Ordinance wouldn’t impact landlords very much. Agnes O. added there were comments about existing laws that could allegedly do the same thing as the Ordinance or provide protections for the concerns brought up by tenants. She asked what those specific laws were. Mayor Elliott thanked the commenters for sharing. Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Butler seconded to close the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Mayor Elliott stated the Council has heard a lot of testimony and asked if the Council had any questions or comments. Councilmember Butler thanked the commenters and those who have worked on the Ordinance. The Staff would not bring something to the Council without it being vetted. She stated she fully supports the Ordinance. Mayor Elliott stated City Attorney Troy Gilchrist could comment on the discussion and what the provisions allow for. Mr. Gilchrist stated they have heard from people on both sides of the issue. Over the months, they have heard from several tenants about their struggles. They originally started with a much broader ordinance, but they pared it down to address more specific issues. The City has worked with advocacy organizations to fine-tune the wording. Mr. Gilchrist explained the law on the topic is still developing, so there is a degree of uncertainty. It is up to the Council to decide what they would like to do considering the uncertainty. The Council can continue the matter to a future hearing to allow Staff the time to reach out to folks that felt they were not engaged as a part of the development process. While it may not change the approach or the Ordinance, that is an option. Mr. Gilchrist agreed with Councilmember Butler that the Ordinance would not be presented to the Council without a lot of work going into it. However, Staff can continue to gather information and revise the Ordinance as directed by the Council. Mayor Elliott asked if Mr. Gilchrist had any thoughts on if the 30-day notice would limit landlords. The Ordinance intends to create parameters for the landlords to protect the tenants. He asked if Mr. Gilchrist had any thoughts on the period. 12/13/21 -19- DRAFT Mr. Gilchrist stated some of the commenters suggested the Ordinance would cause the landlords to file a notice earlier to get the 30-day process started before even reaching out to the tenants. That is not necessary from a legal perspective, and that would be a practice chosen by the landlords. They would be using the 30 days to work out a payment agreement with the notice in place. The Ordinance does not require landlords to file a notice before working on a payment agreement nor does it prohibit landlords from entering into a payment agreement with tenants. The landlord could try to come to an agreement with the tenant right away and later file the 30-day notice. Even if the 30-day notice was filed, later on, it would not preclude the parties from working out an agreement. Mayor Elliott thanked Mr. Gilchrist for his comments. Mayor Elliott stated he fully supports the Ordinance as it does a great deal of good to address a lot of the concerns the Council has heard from tenants. The Ordinance has been crafted in a way that provides flexibility to landlords to be able to evict tenants if there is a need to do so. Councilmember Ryan stated he was distressed to read the minutes of the Housing Commission meeting where they took public comment on October 19, 2021. The issues raised by tenants of a certain property disturbed and angered him. Some issues could be better addressed through a rental license ordinance. Additionally, the tenants were speaking about one property. The commenter who operates 25 percent of the units in the City had the fewest complaints against him. The landlords on the call pointed out they have not been engaged in the process. Councilmember Ryan noted his appreciation of Mr. Gilchrist’s comments that there is not a legal requirement for landlords to issue notice on the second of the month. However, because of the 30- day notice provision, landlords will take a position to minimize their risk. In practicality, it is what operators will do. There was a suggestion that a better means for a non-renewal is to do a 75- or 90-day notice for the problematic tenants. Councilmember Ryan added the issue is very serious. When the City undertakes regulation, they must keep in mind the law is a blunt instrument. The Council has to be clear on ways a regulation may have unintended consequences and recognize that not everyone has been engaged in the development of the Ordinance. Councilmember Ryan stated he would like to see the matter continued but for it to still be handled expeditiously. He is concerned about the impact on all of their neighbors and renters. He wants renters to be treated fairly, and he wants the landlords to operate the properties effectively so they can guarantee the maximum amount of affordable housing. It is a practical matter, so he is advocating for an expeditious continuance. Councilmember Ryan moved for a continuance. Motion failed for lack of a second. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated she is empathetic to the concerns of the tenants and noted she wants quality housing for all residents of Brooklyn Center. There are repeated bad situations and testimony from tenants of only a couple of properties. She asked what they can do from the licensing structure to remedy the issues and improve the expertise and the quality of housing providers in the City. 12/13/21 -20- DRAFT Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson explained she would like to know about more potential unintended consequences before voting on the Ordinance. She suggested they have a work session with Homeline, MHA, the Minneapolis Realtors, ACER, and other apartment operators in the City. Everyone wants the same thing, which is good quality living conditions for everyone. She asked what the best way is to achieve those results. She noted she is not convinced the Ordinance is the best solution at the current time. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson would like to have a conversation with all stakeholders and all members of the Council present. Mayor Elliott stated two members of the Council commented the issues at hand could be addressed through licensing. He asked Ms. Beekman and Mr. Gilchrist if that has been considered or if it is viable. Ms. Beekman stated Staff has spent an enormous about of time working on the provisions after hearing from the community. Staff believes the proposed Ordinance is the most effective way to deal with the concerns. However, if there is more that the Council would like for Staff to consider, then they can do that. The concerns shared that evening is not new to Staff. Mr. Gilchrist noted his agreement with Ms. Beekman. The staff has put a lot of work into the Ordinance, but the Council is welcome to hear from more people on the matter. As mentioned by Councilmember Ryan, it is important to measure twice and cut once when it comes to the law. It is ultimately up to the Council on how they would like to proceed. Mayor Elliott stated, given the interest from the Council, it would be proper to continue the matter until January 24, 2022, which would allow Staff to speak with landlords and property owners and return with their comments. He asked Ms. Beekman if that would provide enough time for Staff. Ms. Beekman stated they can do outreach and think creatively about the Ordinance before then. Mayor Elliot asked Dr. Edwards if Councilmember Graves will be present that day. Dr. Edwards stated he did not know the answer to his question. Mayor Elliott asked Mr. Gilchrist if they needed to continue the discussion to a particular date. Mr. Gilchrist stated there is not a need to choose a certain date because the public hearing has been closed, and there is not a need to notice for a future hearing. If the idea is for Staff to reach out to property owners, then it would make more sense for it to be at the end of January or the beginning of February to allow time for outreach. Mayor Elliott stated there is a consensus of the Council to continue the discussion of the Ordinance amending Chapter 12 of the City ordinance regarding tenant protection to January 24, 2022, with a backup date of February 7, 2022. Councilmember Ryan thanked Mayor Elliott and members of the Council for their collaborative effort. He stated his mind is not closed on the Tenant Protection Ordinance. He merely heard contradictory testimony from people that are experts. His idea to go through licensing to protect tenants was specific to the properties with the majority of the complaints. The residents have shared terrible things that have been happening in Brooklyn Center due to low-quality housing operators. 12/13/21 -21- DRAFT Mayor Elliott asked Staff to bring ideas back around issues, such as bad carpet, and if that could be addressed through licensing. The eviction issues cannot be addressed through licensing, but perhaps some of the other comments could be. Mayor Elliott noted his support of the Ordinance, and there are tenants in the meeting that will be hurting as a result of the Ordinance not passing at the time. The situation will be tenuous for another month or two, and it is especially difficult during the holiday season. He implored residents to ask questions of the Staff so the Council can act on the Ordinance at a future meeting. It is incumbent for the City Council to address the issues at hand. Mayor Elliott asked members of the Council if they needed further information from Staff to aid in their decision-making process. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson agreed the Council needs to solve the problems at hand. She explained the Council is doing the best they can to solve the issues they have in the very best way. If possible, she would like a work session to include organizations and other stakeholders to engage in a thorough conversation. A work session could help everyone to get on the same page. She noted she would be prepared to vote on the Ordinance once there was a complete conversation in- person rather than emails back and forth. That way they can address any unintended consequences and answer more questions. Hearing no objections, Mayor Elliott directed Staff to schedule a Work Session regarding the Tenant Protection Ordinance. Dr. Edwards noted there is not a regular meeting on February 7, 20202. Instead, the first regular meeting in February is February 14, 2022. He asked if the Work Session would be before January 24, 2022. Mayor Elliott confirmed the Work Session would be before January 24, 2022. Dr. Edwards stated Staff would find a date for a Work Session. Discussion of Remaining Agenda Items Councilmember Butler stated it is 9:50 p.m. and asked what else on the agenda is necessary. She stated she was tired, and they have consistently been going late on Mondays. Mayor Elliott asked Staff what was necessary throughout the rest of the agenda. Dr. Edwards stated there are public hearings that have been noticed, and there are time-sensitive matters that need to be addressed. Mayor Elliott asked which departments are involved. Dr. Edwards stated there is a presentation on tax increment financing (TIF) which is time-sensitive. He stated they can come back to the item on events at another time. The presentation on transportation is time-sensitive because of the special assessment. Ms. Beekman agreed the special events ordinance is not time-sensitive. It has been noticed, however, so she would defer to the City Attorney. Ms. Beekman suggested they continue that item. The TIF plan is time-sensitive, as is the business center topic because there’s a State time limit on that item. 12/13/21 -22- DRAFT Dr. Edwards stated the Woodbine item was also on the agenda. City Engineer Mike Albers stated the Woodbine discussion can be continued to the January 10 meeting so they will be able to have the certified assessments in place before looking at the next steps in the process at the end of January. Dr. Edwards asked if that would affect anyone’s abilities to do partial payments. Mr. Albers stated it would not affect anyone’s abilities to do partial payments. They just need to complete certified assessments before moving on to the next steps. Mayor Elliott asked Mr. Gilchrist if they have to open the public hearing on the special events ordinance or if it could be continued. He also asked if they needed to select a particular date to continue it too. Mr. Gilchrist stated they could continue the topic, but it would have to be continued to a certain date. Mayor Elliott asked Staff if there was a specific date they needed to complete the item. Ms. Beekman and Dr. Edwards stated they did not have a specific date in mind. Ms. Beekman suggested they move the special events ordinance to the January 10, 2022 meeting. Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to continue Item 8b, Approving an Ordinance Amending Chapter 23 to Allow and Regulate Special Events and Approve a Resolution to Allow a Summary Publication of the Ordinance, and Item 8d, Resolution Certifying Special Assessments for Improvement Project No.2022-01, Woodbine Area Street Improvements to the Hennepin County Tax Rolls, to the January 10, 2022 meeting. Motion passed unanimously. 8b. APPROVING AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 23 TO ALLOW AND REGULATE SPECIAL EVENTS AND APPROVE A RESOLUTION TO ALLOW A SUMMARY PUBLICATION OF THE ORDINANCE This item was continued to the January 10, 2022 meeting. Continued Discussion of Remaining Agenda Items Mayor Elliott asked if they needed to act on item 10b. Resolution Approving an Amendment to the City Manager's Agreement, that instead of the city providing a vehicle for use by the Manager, the Manager will receive an annual car allowance for $6,000 annually. Dr. Edwards stated it would not take much time, but they could also move it to a later date. Mayor Elliott stated they could get that done quickly that evening. Extension of the Rules Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to allow the meeting to extend beyond 10:00 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 12/13/21 -23- DRAFT 8c. RESOLUTION NO. 2021-164 APPROVING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 9 Dr. Edwards introduced the item and asked Ms. Beekman to make the presentation. Ms. Beekman stated Aeon has made an application and received approval from the City, to construct a 49-unit addition to their existing multi-family property at 6221 Shingle Creek Parkway, known as the Crest. As part of the project, Aeon intends to renovate the existing units and building, construct an addition to the building, and complete certain site and parking lot improvements. Ms. Beekman explained City Council has approved the land use request, as well as the use of conduit bonding, which will be used as the primary mechanism to finance the project. The Council originally reviewed the plan at April 26, 2021, Concept Plan Review work session. At their April 26, 2021 meeting, the City Council discussed a concept plan submitted by Aeon. One of the questions asked by Aeon at that meeting was about the use of tax increment financing funding to achieve more deeply affordable units in the project. The Council indicated their support of the use of up to $1,400,000 in TIF to achieve a reduction in the average rents for the project. Ms. Beekman stated Aeon is now requesting the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 9, the use of increment generated by the district to support the project, and the proposed rent structure. The use of TIF would allow additional three-bedroom units to be provided at a more deeply affordable rate. She noted a table detailing the rent structure for the project included in the meeting packet. Ms. Beekman stated, based on the final financial analysis, Aeon is requesting up to $1,100,000 in tax increment financing from the City to achieve the project rents. It is anticipated that the TIF note would be paid within 15 years. The District is set up to begin in 2024 and may be open for up to 26 years. The Council may choose to close the District once the TIF note is paid, or may opt to keep it open. One hundred percent of any excess increment collected, once the TIF note is paid, would be collected by the City and must be used to support the preservation or creation of affordable housing units. Ms. Beekman explained it is estimated that the district would collect a total of $6,833,786 during its 26-year collection period. The City Council is being asked to approve the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 9 and approve a Tax Increment Financing Plan for the district. Once the District is established and the plan approved, the Brooklyn Center Economic Development Authority will be asked to approve a TIF Assistance Plan between the EDA and the developer, which outlines the conditions for the use of the increment. Ms. Beekman offered to answer any questions on the proposal. Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to open the public hearing. Motion passed unanimously. No one appeared to comment. 12/13/21 -24- DRAFT Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the public hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Ryan asked Mr. Gilchrist if they could act on the TIF and have an Economic Development Authority meeting to work out the details. Mr. Gilchrist stated Ms. Beekman would be in a better position to answer the question. Ms. Beekman stated the Council has to approve the Resolution, and the EDA has the opportunity to ask questions during the EDA meeting. Councilmember Ryan thanked her for the clarification. Councilmember Ryan moved and Mayor Elliott seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2021-164 approving a modification to the Redevelopment Plan for a Housing Development and Redevelopment Project No. 1, establishing Tax Increment Financing District No. 9 therein and approving a Tax Increment Financing Plan, therefore. Motion passed unanimously. 8d. RESOLUTION CERTIFYING SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO.2022-01, WOODBINE AREA STREET IMPROVEMENTS TO THE HENNEPIN COUNTY TAX ROLLS This item was continued to the January 10, 2022 meeting. 9. PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS 9a. PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2021-006, FOR THE REZONING AND ESTABLISHMENT OF A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT TO ALLOW FOR AN APPROXIMATELY 64,000-SQUARE FOOT MIXED OFFICE/LIGHT INDUSTRIAL BUILDING AND RELATED SITE IMPROVEMENTS (6440 JAMES CIRCLE NORTH) Dr. Edwards introduced the topic and invited Ms. Beekman to continue on the topic. Ms. Beekman stated Planner and Zoning Administrator Ginny McIntosh would be making the presentation. Mayor Elliott asked if the matter was time-sensitive. Ms. Beekman stated there was a State statutory requirement for timing on the topic. Ms. McIntosh stated the request at hand includes a site and building plan, rezoning, and planned unit development (PUD). The subject property was formerly home to the AMF Earle Brown Lanes, which was closed in 2015. The applicant McGlynn Partners LLC is requesting review and consideration of a proposal to redevelop the former AMF Earle Brown Lanes property, located at 6440 James Circle North, to an approximately 64,000-square foot mixed office and light industrial building with related site improvements on an approximately 4.03-acre site. 12/13/21 -25- DRAFT Ms. McIntosh explained the building was originally built in 1978 for a bowling alley. Before that, it had been zoned as an industrial park. The building and site subsequently sat vacant until 2017, when the property was purchased by Tashitaa Tufaa, ODAA Center LLC. While the Property Owner successfully brought through a request for issuance of a Special Use Permit in 2018 to operate an event center with an ancillary restaurant and bar and requested a re-issuance of the permit in 2019 to allow additional time to initiate the project, the plans were never realized within the appropriate time frame yet again. The permit subsequently expired in January 2020. Ms. McIntosh noted the property owner kept City Staff up-to-date and discussed potential redevelopment opportunities for the subject property as they came up. However, it was not until this past year when a relationship was formed between the property owner, McGlynn Partners LLC, and Endeavor Development, and the new proposal was created. A concept review ultimately went before City Council on May 24, 2021, for the proposed approximately 64,000-square foot mixed office and light industrial building. Based on the feedback provided, the applicant applied for review and consideration under Planning Commission Application No. 2021-006. Ms. McIntosh showed photos of the current conditions of the site. She noted the site in question is near a site owned by the EDA. She added the City is undertaking a major update to the Zoning Code to ultimately align with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides the Subject Property as “Business Mixed-Use”, meaning it would encourage redevelopment or development of commercial, office, general business, and light industrial uses. Ms. McIntosh noted a PUD allows for flexibility in the Zoning Code for developments that would not be allowed under existing regulations. They are used to achieve high-quality development or to achieve other City goals in exchange for zoning flexibility. As the request by the applicant includes a request to re-zone the Subject Property from C-2 (commerce) District to Planned Unit Development-Neighborhood/Business Mixed-Use (PUD/BM-U) District, City Code dictates that the City Zoning Ordinance be amended to reflect the rezoning. The City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides the Subject Property as “Business Mixed-Use” and would therefore not require an amendment. Ms. McIntosh showed a site and building plan submitted by the applicant with an entirely new building. City Staff reviewed the setback requirements based on the current zoning and the potential new zoning. The proposal would meet the minimum green strip requirement and parking numbers. As for the building materials, the proposal indicates use composed primarily of precast concrete and glazing. With that said, City Staff has requested the submitted plan set be revised to provide enhanced architectural features and address screening concerns. They are looking for four-sided architecture, additional glazing and design elements, enhancements around the entrances, and the installation of fencing along the rear property line to provide screening. Ms. McIntosh added the proposal identifies five curb cuts. City Staff requested the removal of the proposed new curb cut off Freeway Boulevard as both ends of James Circle North are full access but uncontrolled. City Staff does not anticipate traffic lights will be installed on either end of James Circle North. Additionally, James Circle North provides direct access to Interstates 94, 694, 100, and 252. Submitted plans meet drive aisle and parking space dimensional requirements. City 12/13/21 -26- DRAFT Staff looked at newer speculative developments in Maple Grove and Brooklyn Park in determining overall parking needs and requirements. Ms. McIntosh stated City Staff is requesting that as part of any approval, distribution facilities would be prohibited as a use, except for cases where it is an accessory use and then only when it occurs from a manufacturing facility or warehouse where a product is made or packaged on-site. City Staff also requested diagrams be provided showing turn radius for large trucks such as dump trucks or semi-trucks. In looking at parking, City Staff looked at the number of offices and warehouse spaces. There is a different amount of required stalls depending on the eventual building use, but City Staff is not currently concerned with the parking requirements. Ms. McIntosh showed a slide of a diagram with parking spots and curb cuts. Ms. McIntosh stated a photometric was provided, which generally indicated compliance with City Zoning Code and lighting requirements, except the cast portion fronting along with Quality Inn. It was requested the applicant review opportunities for pedestrian level lighting at the requested sidewalk connection between Freeway Boulevard and the west parking area. All lighting shall be concentrated downward and shall be cohesive in color and complementary to the building. Ms. McIntosh stated a new trash enclosure is indicated, but it did not provide clear detail. Applicant should provide updated details pending any approval and confirmation of proposed tenants and needs for trash and recycling. All ground-mounted or roof-mounted equipment shall still be screened for Code requirements. Also, one of the conditions of approval is that no outside storage or display of materials, equipment, or products accessory and necessary principal and permitted use to be allowed. The proposed landscaping would meet and exceed requirements, and no signage was included in the proposal. Ms. McIntosh noted the Assistant City Engineer, other City Staff, and other agencies reviewed the proposal. As there are nearby busses for public transportation, it was requested to include pedestrian paths and bike racks. The Assistant City Engineer requested a realignment of one of the entrances to align with a neighboring property and a detailed tracking movement diagram. Certain permits and a watershed plan would be required. There is a stormwater pond on the property, and there is a requirement for a Utility Facilities Easement Agreement and Construction Management Plan and Agreement to be submitted. The Fire Inspector and Building Official stated the application would have to incur a sewer access charge as designated by the Council, comply with Minnesota accessibility code, and comply with the 2020 Minnesota fire and building code requirements. Ms. McIntosh added a public hearing notice was published in the newspaper on November 4, 2021, and mail notifications were sent out to properties, both taxpayer and occupants, in the vicinity. To date, the Staff has not received any public comments. A City sign was installed on the property along Freeway Boulevard and the west portion of James Circle North noting that a development proposal was under review and to contact the City with any questions. Ms. McIntosh noted the Planning Commission held a public hearing for the aforementioned application at their meeting on November 18, 2021, and the Commission was generally supportive of the proposed improvements to the subject property. The Commissioners asked several 12/13/21 -27- DRAFT questions about previous attempts to redevelop the property into an event center, appropriate fire access, and City Staff requests to prohibit distribution facilities as a primary use. Ms. McIntosh stated no public comments were received either in advance of or at the public hearing, although two members of the public were in attendance, including a representative of neighboring CES Imaging, located at 1701 James Circle North, who had a general interest in the development proposal but no immediate concerns or questions. Representatives of the applicant, including Endeavor Development, who is co-developing the project with applicant McGlynn Partners LLC, were present and provided background on the proposal, the market need for this type of development in Brooklyn Center and across the Twin Cities, and their company. Following the close of the public hearing, the Planning Commission elected to unanimously recommend City Council approval of the requested site and building plan, rezoning, and establishment of a Planned Unit Development. Ms. McIntosh stated the request by the applicant includes a request to re-zone the Subject Property from C-2 District to Planned Unit Development-Neighborhood/Business Mixed-Use (PUD/BM- U) District, City Code dictates that the City Zoning Ordinance be amended to reflect the rezoning. Should the City Council proceed with the rezoning, a motion to approve the first reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 35 of the Zoning Code of Ordinances regarding the Subject Property located at 6440 James Circle North would be needed. Following the motion, a second reading and public hearing would be scheduled for January 10, 2022. Ms. McIntosh offered to answer any questions. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson thanked Ms. McIntosh for her thorough presentation. Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Butler seconded to adopt a RESOLUTION No. 2021- 165 approving Planning Commission Application No. 2021-006 for approval of a site and building plan, rezoning, and establishment of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the Subject Property located at 6440 James Circle North based on the findings of fact and submitted plans, and as amended by the conditions of approval in the resolution. Motion passed unanimously. Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to approve the first reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 35 of the Zoning Code of Ordinances regarding the zoning classification of the Subject Property located at 6440 James Circle North and set the second reading and public hearing for January 10, 2022. Motion passed unanimously. 10. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS 10a. RESOLUTION APPROVING ALLOCATION OF AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT FUNDS This item was removed upon adoption of the agenda. 12/13/21 -28- DRAFT 10a. RESOLUTION NO. 166 APPROVING AND RATIFYING A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTION PARTNERSHIP INC. Mayor Elliott noted Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson had questions on the service contract with LEAP. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked Dr. Edwards if the item was in the 2022 budget they recently approved. Dr. Edwards confirmed the $150,000 for the Implementation Committee could be used for professional service contracts such as the one with LEAP. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked who negotiates the contracts. Dr. Edwards stated Staff reviews and negotiates all contracts. The Implementation Committee may review and negotiate future professional service contracts through the Mayor. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated she wants to be certain the contracts going through the Implementation Committee are also reviewed by Staff and legal personnel before being presented to the Council. She noted the Implementation Committee is different than other commissions as the other commissions have chairpersons that already work with contracts. She explained there needs to be checks and balances in place. Dr. Edwards stated that will be the practice in working with the Implementation Committee. Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to approve a professional service agreement with Law Enforcement Action Partnership (LEAP) to assist the Public Safety Act Implementation Committee. Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Butler seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2021- 166 approving and ratifying a professional services agreement with the law enforcement action partnership, Inc.- Councilmember Ryan voted against the same. Motion passed 3-1. 10b. RESOLUTION NO. 2021-167 APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY MANAGER'S AGREEMENT THAT IN LIEU OF THE CITY PROVIDING A VEHICLE FOR USE BY THE MANAGER, THE MANAGER WILL RECEIVE AN ANNUAL CAR ALLOWANCE FOR $6,000 ANNUALLY Dr. Edwards stated Staff decided providing a vehicle to the City Manager is not in the best interest of the City. Dr. Edwards noted Acting Finance Director Andy Splinter was at the meeting to provide more information as needed. Providing a vehicle for the City Manager to use would create more costly taxes for the City, the garage maintenance would be tenuous, and having human resources track the mileage would be extremely inefficient. Instead, it is more efficient to provide an annual car allowance, as included in the budget for previous City Managers. Mr. Splinter added he discussed the topic with Dr. Edwards when it was approved, and the driving of the car between work and home would add an enormous about of tax to both Dr. Edwards and the City. Mayor Elliott asked if they were voting on an annual car allowance instead of providing a vehicle 12/13/21 -29- DRAFT for the City Manager’s use. Mr. Splinter confirmed that was the Resolution in question. He noted the amount of money was the same as in previous contracts. Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2021-167 approving an amendment to the City Manager's employment agreement. Motion passed unanimously. 11.

The event organizer is strongly encouraged to contact the City prior to submitting an application to help determine the needed amount and availability of support services for a proposed event. The rates for support services are set out in the City’s fee schedule. The City shall review the request and determine if it has sufficient resources to provide the requested support services or if the amount of support services actually needed for the event will likely exceed those requested.

Section 23-2608. CITY SUPPORT SERVICES FOR PREAPPROVED EVENTS. The City will provide basic support services to preapproved events without charge. Any additional support services that may be needed, as determined by the City, will be charged as part of the permit fee.

Section 23-2609. CITY SUPPORT SERVICES FOR CO-SPONSORED EVENTS.

These events must meet the other requirements of these Sections and the event organizer is required to pay as part of the permit fee any City costs in excess of the support level authorized by the budget appropriation. Approval of an event does not require the City to approve similar events or a repeat of the same event. Each event will be reviewed separately. Section 23-2610. CITY SUPPORT SERVICES FOR NON-PROFIT EVENTS. The City may provide support services to assist a special event conducted by a non-profit organization without charge up to the amount established in the City’s fee schedule.

An event organizer submitting an application for a non-profit event submit a current IRS 501(c)(3) statement with its application. Approval of an event does not require the City to approve similar events or a repeat of the same event. Each event will be reviewed separately. Section 23-2611. CITY SUPPORT SERVICES FOR FOR-PROFIT EVENTS. The City may allow a special event operated by a for-profit event organizer that are beneficial to the City and the public. The event is subject to an additional use charge per day for the use of the public property as established in the City’s fee schedule, must pay 100% of all City costs related to the event, and shall comply with all other requirements of these Sections.

Section 23-2612. FEES FOR SUPPORT SERVICES. A. Hourly Rates. The event organizer shall be responsible for paying the City for any support services for which it is responsible under these Sections based on an hourly rate associated with the type of support services provided.

ISSUANCE. The City Manager, or designee, shall determine whether to issue a special event permit based on criteria identified in the following section. Approval of a permit is at the City’s sole discretion. The City may impose conditions on the permit and the event organizer shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with all such conditions, the requirements of these Sections, and of all other applicable laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances. Issuance of a permit in no way indicates City sponsorship of the event and does not obligate the City to approve similar events in the future. Each application for an event will be reviewed and acted on separately. Section 23-2614. CRITERIA.

The City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides the Subject Property as “Business Mixed-Use.” The Subject Property was formerly home to the AMF Earle Brown Lanes, which closed in 2015. The building and site subsequently sat vacant until 2017, when the property was purchased by Tashitaa Tufaa/ODAA Center LLC (“the Property Owner”). While the Property Owner successfully brought through a request for issuance of a Special Use Permit in 2018 to operate an event center with ancillary restaurant and bar, and requested a re-issuance of the permit in 2019 to allow additional time to initiate the project, the plans were never realized. Although the site and building plan request does not require a public hearing, the request for the establishment of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) and re-zoning requires that a public hearing be scheduled. A public hearing notice was published in the Brooklyn Center Sun Post on November 4, 2021 (Exhibit B). Mail notices were also sent out to those taxpayers and occupants with property falling within the designated notification area, and the City of Brooklyn Center Public Works installed two “Development Proposal Under Review” signs on the Subject Property and facing Freeway Boulevard and the west portion of James Circle North for additional visibility. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING STANDARDS Land Use Plan: Business Mixed-Use (BM-U) Neighborhood: Shingle Creek Existing Zoning: C2 (Commerce) District Surrounding Zoning: North: I1 (Industrial Park) District East: C2 (Commerce) District South: C2 (Commerce) District West: C2 (Commerce) District x Application Filed: 10/19/2021 x Review Period (60-day) Deadline: 12/18/2021 x Extension Declared: N/A x Extended Review Period Deadline: N/A ________________ App. No. 2021-006 PC 11/18/2021 Page 2 Site Area: Approximately 4.03 acres Setback Standards: The proposal requests establishment of a Planned Unit Development (PUD), as well as a rezoning. As the Subject Property is located on a loop road (James Circle North), with one side fronting Freeway Boulevard, and two sides fronting James Circle North, this property would be considered a “triple frontage” lot. If viewing the Subject Property as having three frontages, the setbacks would be: Front Yard #1: 25 feet Front Yard #2: 62 feet Front Yard #3: 25 feet Side Interior Yard: 115 feet Although the Subject Property is zoned C2 (Commerce) District, the proposed use is light industrial in nature. With the current Zoning Code underway with a major update, City staff reviewed the proposal against the existing setback standards for the I1 (Industrial Park) District, which are: Front Yard: 50 feet Corner Side Yard: 50 feet Interior Side Yard: 10 feet Rear Yard: 25 feet Based on the proposed setbacks, the Applicant will need to obtain flexibility from the existing Zoning Code with regard to minimum building setbacks. Additionally, no parking shall be permitted within 15 feet of the street right-of-way (ROW), and this area shall be maintained as a “green strip” under the City’s Zoning Code. This area is reflected on the submitted site plan (Sheet C-2.0) and the provided parking layout appears to meet the minimum green strip standards. Conformity to: 2040 Land Use Plan: Yes Zoning Ordinance: No—would require a re-zoning, but in line with 2040 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Designation Subdivision Ordinance: Existing—no alterations proposed (Tract F, Registered Land Survey #1482, Hennepin County, MN) Sign Ordinance: No requests under consideration at this time The Subject Property is currently zoned C2 (Commerce) District; however, the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use designates the property as, “Business Mixed-Use”: Table 1. Business Mixed-Use (B-MU) Designation Description under 2040 Comprehensive Plan. ________________ App. No. 2021-006 PC 11/18/2021 Page 3 Map 1. 2040 Future Land Use Designations (Subject Property in Red). As noted in Map 1 above, the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in January 2020, identifies the Subject Property and surrounding area as a “potential area of change,” and the Business Mixed-Use land use designation, which is a new designation, is generally a flexible land use intended to accommodate manufacturing, warehouse, office, and other uses typically considered under the existing adjacent I1 District properties to the north, but also supporting retail and other commercial uses that would allow for a more dynamic business park area. BACKGROUND The existing approximately 35,462-square foot building was originally approved for and constructed in 1978 for use as the Earle Brown Bowl (bowling alley) under Planning Application Nos. 78023 and 78024 following site and building plan and Special Use Permit approvals by the City Council. The approval of Special Use Permits under these applications allowed for live entertainment and a bowling alley in an area that was previously zoned I1 (Industrial Park) District . This allowed for the Subject Property to function as a bowling alley, restaurant, and game room/recreational facility. Map 2. 1975 City of Brooklyn Center Zoning Map—approximate location of Subject Property (Highlighted in Red). The bowling alley and restaurant closed in April 2015 and sat vacant until 2017 when the current Property Owner purchased the property. The Property Owner subsequently brought through a request to renovate the bowling alley into an event center with ancillary restaurant and bar. City Council ultimately granted approval of the site and building plan and issued a Special Use Permit, which were contemplated under Planning Commission Application No. 2018-002 in 2018. ________________ App. No. 2021-006 PC 11/18/2021 Page 4 Special Use Permits require work to commence on the use within one (1) year of issuance of said permit, unless a request for extension is approved prior to expiration of the one year period. The Property Owner requested an extension under Planning Commission Application No. 2019-018; however, no work was undertaken or permits pulled to move the event center use forward and the Special Use Permit extension has since expired. It should be further noted that the building’s interior was substantially cleared out a couple years ago following water damage and the building is now effectively a shell. The Property Owner remained in contact with City staff and discussed potential redevelopment opportunities for the Subject Property as they came up. The Property Owner eventually partnered with Applicant Patrick McGlynn (McGlynn Partners LLC) and through their discussions determined that an industrial-type product might be better suited for the Subject Property. A concept review ultimately went before City Council on May 24, 2021 for the proposed approximately 64,000-square foot mixed office and light industrial buildiŶŐ͘ZĞĨĞƌƚŽExhibit CĨŽƌĂŶĞdžĐĞƌƉƚŽĨƚŚĞŵĞĞƚŝŶŐŵŝŶƵƚĞƐ͘ SITE AND BUILDING PLAN REVIEW Building The proposal calls for the construction of a mixed office and light industrial building on the Subject Property located at 6440 James Circle North. The Subject Property is approximately 4.03-acres in size and would be in close proximity to freeway access via Interstates 94 and 694, as well as Trunk Highways 252 and 100. A civil set, containing site, utility, grading and drainage, landscaping, and photometric plans, have been provided by the Applicant and are attached as Exhibit A. Map 3. Subject Property Location (Highlighted in Red). ________________ App. No. 2021-006 PC 11/18/2021 Page 5 As proposed, the existing former bowling alley building and site improvements would be razed to accommodate the new building. A demolition and removals plan was not provided as part of the submittal, but would need to be provided as part of any construction set submitted for any permit issuance. The west elevation fronting the Super 8 (6445 James Circle North) and Travelodge (6415 James Circle North) hotels would be designated office space, while the rear portion of the building, which backs along Jambo Africa (1601 Freeway Boulevard) and the Quality Inn (1600 James Circle North), would be designated industrial/warehouse space. The architectural set provided outlines interior, floor, and exterior elevations and renderings of the new building, which would feature 28-foot clear heights and an overall 36-foot height, but does not provide a detailed breakdown of the building material composition. It appears the majority of the building would be comprised of tip up walls (precast concrete) and glazing. Image 1. Proposed 694 Business Center—North and West Elevations (6440 James Circle North). Image 2. Proposed 694 Business Center—East Elevation (6440 James Circle North). The City does reference a set of design guidelines when reviewing site and building plan applications, and more so in cases where a Planned Unit Development (PUD) is to be established. These guidelines are based on the Shingle Creek Crossing Architectural Design Guidelines, which were approved in 2011. These guidelines strive to have at least 50-percent of all four sides (wall surfaces) of new buildings constructed with Class I materials, with the remaining surfaces to be constructed of Class II materials. In certain cases, buildings may be allowed to have two of its elevation faces (typically front and back faces) with at least 50% of Class I and 50% Class II; with the remaining side faces of 25% Class I and 75% Class II materials. It should be noted that this location is highly visible from not only Freeway Boulevard and James Circle North, but also Interstate 694/94. ________________ App. No. 2021-006 PC 11/18/2021 Page 6 Class I materials include: brick or acceptable brick-type material, marble; granite; other natural stone or acceptable natural looking stone; textured cement stucco; copper; porcelain, glass; architectural textured concrete pre-cast panels; and other materials including masonry units with enhanced detailing such as patterns, textures, color, dimension, banding, and brick inlay, as approved by the City Planning Commission and City Council. Class II materials include: exposed aggregate concrete panels; burnished concrete block; integral colored split face (rock face) and exposed aggregate concrete block; cast-in-place concrete; artificial stucco (e.g., E.I.F.S., Drivit); artificial stone; fiber-reinforced cement board siding with a minimum thickness of ¼ inch; canvas or vinyl awnings; prefinished metal; and other materials not listed elsewhere, as approved by the City Planning Commission and City Council. Following a review by City staff of the proposal, and in consideration of the request for establishment of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) and the existing adjacent uses, City staff had requested that the following alterations be made to the plan set: x Push 4-sided architecture, with articulation and architectural consideration on all four sides; x Additional glazing, particularly focused around entrances and the building front; x Additional/enhanced design elements around entrances: metal canopies, architectural ornamentation attached to exterior panels; x Fencing along rear (east) property line between loading area and adjacent properties – enhanced fencing materials such as cedar, or ornamental metal; and x Enlarged glazing along rear of property, in the upper area over the loading bays The Applicant updated their architectural set; however, did not address a number of the above items. The Applicant had initially submitted their application for review at the October 2021 Planning Commission meeting, but as City staff was still waiting for the outstanding architectural revisions, along with signature pages, and the payment of the application fee/escrow, the application was determined to be incomplete and a letter was sent to the Applicant, informing of this decision, on September 30, 2021. The Applicant ultimately re-submitted their application but only addressed revisions to the north elevation of the proposed building in the revised architectural set. As part of any approval, City staff is requesting that the above items be included as conditions of approval, and particularly as the general area surrounding the Subject Property is designated under the 2040 Comprehensive Plan as “Business Mixed-Use” has been identified as an area of potential change. This area also has good visibility from adjacent roadways and Interstate 694/94, and pending any approval, would be the first major redevelopment in the area, with the exception of the FBI Regional Headquarters (2010). As the proposed building’s loading docks would face a restaurant (Jambo Africa) and hotel (Quality Inn), City staff is requesting that this area provide enhanced screening, as well as attention to detail in terms of offering additional glazing in the upper areas above the loading bays. Similarly, as the building will front multiple streets, City staff is requesting revisions to the materials and ornamentation (e.g. metal canopies) at the building corners. An example of this would be the recently approved Arbor Lakes Phase II project in Maple Grove, which provided a series of metal canopies and stonework to break up the overall flatness of the tip up panels. Endeavor Development, who has been working in conjunction with Applicant McGlynn Partners, LLC on this project is also involved with the Arbor Lakes Phase II project. ________________ App. No. 2021-006 PC 11/18/2021 Page 7 ACCESS AND PARKING Vehicular Access The site plan submitted identifies the addition of a new curb cut along the north end of the Subject Property and fronting Freeway Boulevard. Per City staff discussions, there was concensus that this curb cut should not be necessary given there are already two access points off Freeway Boulevard via James Avenue North. Both access points provide full access and allow quick access to I-694, 94, 100, and 252. City staff has, in general, taken an approach to minimizing additional curb cuts, both through consolidation and elimination. Given that there are already a number of curb cuts along this portion of Freeway Boulevard, the fact that neither end of James Avenue North is a controlled intersection, and discussions about the intensity of use, the proposed curb cut should not be necessary. Section 35-600 of the City’s Zoning Code also specifies that berth access “shall be located as to provide convenient access to a public street or alley in a manner that will least interfere with traffic.” With the removal of the curb cut off Freeway Boulevard, the Subject Property would still provide two access points off James Circle North for those utilizing the west parking lot, and a 30-foot wide curb cut would be maintained off James Circle North along the south portion of the site for both vehicular and truck traffic. Parking The proposed driveway aisles would meet the minimum two-way, 90-degree drive aisle requirement of 24-feet in width, and the proposed 90-degree parking spaces along the west and east portions of the Subject Property would meet the City’s minimum requirements as the site plan notes a typical width of nine (9) feet wide by 18 feet deep. In reviewing the potential overall parking needs, and specifically, in reviewing parking for a speculative industrial development, City staff looked to other neighboring communities who have brought through similar type development—specifically, Brooklyn Park and Maple Grove. As part of the submittal, the Applicant offered the following assumptions with regard to use: Provided # of Stalls Square Feet of Use Minimum Parking Language Minimum Parking Provided # of Stalls Office (9.3%) ±6,000 SF Office buildings, exclusive of those specific uses otherwise listed (20,000 SF and under): Gross Floor Area ÷ 200 30 stalls 40 stalls Warehouse (90.6%) ±57,900 SF 1 space for every 2 employees based on max planned employment during any work period OR 1 space for each 800 square feet of Gross Floor Area— whichever requirement is greater. Assumption: 1 space for each 800 SF of GFA 73 stalls 73 stalls Total (100%) ±63,900 SF 103 stalls 117 stalls (noted) Table 2. Submitted Parking Requirement Breakdown (Refer to Section 35-704). ________________ App. No. 2021-006 PC 11/18/2021 Page 8 As part of the conditions for any approval, City staff is requesting that a minimum 20-percent finish level be maintained at full lease up. Assuming a minimum of 20-percent office space and 80-percent industrial/warehouse, the following would need to be provided for ƵŶĚĞƌƚLJƉŝĐĂůŽĚĞƌĞƋƵŝƌĞŵĞŶƚƐ: Provided # of Stalls Square Feet of Use Minimum Parking Language Minimum Parking Office (20%) ±12,780 SF Office buildings, exclusive of those specific uses otherwise listed (20,000 SF and under): Gross Floor Area ÷ 200 64 stalls Warehouse (80%) ±51,120 SF 1 space for every 2 employees based on max planned employment during any work period OR 1 space for each 800 square feet of Gross Floor Area—whichever requirement is greater.

Parking Requirement Breakdown –Assuming 20-Percent Office Use | 80-Percent Warehouse (Refer to Section 35-704). With the existing City Zoning Code currently underway with a major update and all sections under review, including parking, City staff is comfortable with the proposed 117 parking stalls, as outlined in the submitted site plan. Should it be determined that additional parking is required, the Applicant would need to revise the site plan set to allocate additional parking—likely along the east portion of the building, near the proposed loading berths. Loading Berths A series of loading berths are provided along the east portion of the Subject Property. The City’s Zoning Code requires a minimum of three (3) berths for those retail commerce, wholesale commerce, manufacturing, and warehousing uses with between 40,000 to 100,000-square feet of aggregate Gross Floor Area. These berths are to be located a minimum of 25 feet from the intersection of any two street right-of-way lines and no loading berths are to occupy any yard requirements bordering a street. As proposed, the plans meet this requirement. Section 35-600 (Off-Street Loading) specifies that the first berth required not be less than 12 feet in width and 50 feet in length. Additional berths shall not be less than 12 feet in width and 25 feet in length. Per a review of the site plan, the depth requirement would be met. Although not indicated on the plan set, City staff is not concerned about the Applicant meeting the width requirement. LIGHTING | TRASH | SCREENING Lighting Per the City Zoning Code, “all exterior lighting shall be provided with lenses, reflectors, or shades, so as to concentrate illumination on the property of the owner or operator of said illumination devices.” Additionally, glare shall not emanate from or be visible beyond the boundaries of the illuminated premises. Section 35-712 (Lighting) of the City Zoning Ordinance further specifies that lighting shall not exceed ten (10) foot candles when measured at the property lines abutting the street right-of-way or ________________ App. No. 2021-006 PC 11/18/2021 Page 9 non-residentially zoned properties, or three (3) foot candles for residentially-zoned properties. The Applicant furnished a photometric plan of the Subject Property (Sheet P-1.0), which indicates maximum foot candles on-site and along the property lines. Although the property is commercially- zoned, the Applicant should verify that the overall foot candle maximums along the Quality Inn (hotel) are three (3) foot candles or below at property line as the plans currently reflect maximums slightly above this range. This request is due to there being hotel rooms along the portion facing the proposed truck court/loading area. All lighting is proposed to be at a height of 30 feet. Per the City’s Architectural Guidelines, lighting should not exceed 28 feet at entry points and the Applicant should review opportunities for pedestrian level lighting at the requested sidewalk connection between Freeway Boulevard and the west parking area. Per the unofficial City architectural design guidelines, light poles, fixtures, and bases should maintain a consistent in color and feature dark sky-friendly or cutoff style fixtures. The Applicant should revise their plans to ensure all lighting that abuts the Quality Inn is concentrated towards the ground and provide shields if necessary to minimize light spray. The Applicant should also review opportunities to ensure lighting is concentrated along the west portion of James Avenue North, although City staff recognizes the importance of lighting for safety and security. As part of the building permit submittal, the Applicant will need to provide imagery of the proposed lighting, as well as fixture specifications. Trash The existing on-site trash enclosure, which is in poor condition, would be removed as part of any redevelopment. A new trash enclosure is proposed along the southeast end of the proposed building— near the loading berths. The civil plan set references the architectural set for details on the trash enclosure; however, City staff was unable to find any additional information. The Applicant will need to provide specifications as part of any approval and building permit submittal. As City staff is not aware of the overall trash and recycling needs for the proposed building and future tenants, an updated detail sheet would be requested at time of submittal for building permits. Image 3. Proposed Trash Enclosure (East Elevation). Screening Trash enclosures and any other ground mounted equipment (e.g., transformers, mechanical) shall be effectively screened from adjacent public rights-of-way and adjacent properties by a solid wall or opaque fence constructed of wood, masonry, or other durable materials that are complementary to the materials used on the primary building. Any roof-mounted equipment shall also be screened from view ________________ App. No. 2021-006 PC 11/18/2021 Page 10 through use of parapets, wall/fencing materials, or paint to match surrounding colors when visible from the public right-of-way. As noted earlier in the report, City staff is requesting the Applicant revise their plan sets to account for fencing along the rear (east) property line, between the loading area and adjacent properties. The fencing material should be enhanced through use of a higher quality wood or ornamental metal. LANDSCAPING The project submittal includes a landscape plan, schedule, and details sheet. Although City Code does not have any specific requirements for landscape plantings, the City has operated under and held new and redeveloped areas to complying with the City’s adopted Landscape Point System policy, which assigns points to a given site based on the acreage of a development. The Point System requires light industrial type sites to provide a specific amount or number of landscaping units, and is based on a maximum percentage of certain materials (i.e., 50% shade trees; 40% coniferous trees; 35% decorate trees, and 25% shrubs). As the proposed mixed office/warehouse building would be located on approximately four (4) acres, the development would need to achieve a minimum of 270 points, assuming a development use category of “Light Industrial.” Planting Type Minimum Size Points Per Planting Maximum Points (%) Points Accrued Shade Trees 2 ½” diameter 10 50% or 135 points 135 points (MAX) (15 trees * 10 points) Coniferous Trees 5’ height 6 40% or 108 points 48 points (8 trees * 6 points) Decorative Trees 1” diameter 1.5 35% or 94.5 points 25.5 points (17 trees * 1.5 points) Shrubs 12” diameter 0.5 25% or 67.5 points 77.5 points (155 shrubs * 0.5 points) Total 100% = 270 points (minimum) 286 points accrued Table 4. Landscape Point System Policy Breakdown for Subject Property. The Applicant provided a landscape plan (Sheet L-1.0) that depicts the planting of deciduous, ornamental (decorative), evergreen and flowering shrubs; As summarized in Table 4 above, the Applicant will need to accrue the minimum number of points and factor for a diversity of planting types to meet the City’s Landscape Point System Policy requirements. Based on a review of the planting schedule, the Applicant would meet ĂŶĚĞdžĐĞĞĚthe minimum requirements under this policy. As an added note, the Applicant intends to provide plantings that are greater than the minimum sizing/caliper required. This would assist in “establishing” the site more quickly. The Applicant should reference the City’s unofficial Architectural Design Guidelines regarding overall landscaping and site treatment. As part of any approval, the Subject Property will require an irrigation system to be installed and a plan to be submitted to the City. CITY ENGINEER REVIEW Assistant City Engineer Andrew Hogg conducted a review of the application submittal and documents. Comments regarding this application can be found in the memorandum to city staff dated November 10, 2021, and attached hereto (Exhibit D). It should be noted that some of the outlined conditions may be ________________ App. No. 2021-006 PC 11/18/2021 Page 11 applicable at time of approval for future land disturbance (alteration) or building permits. The entirety of the site (4.03 acres) would be disturbed as part of the proposal and all existing improvements on site (e.g. former Earle Brown Bowl, trash enclosure, parking areas) would be demolished and removed. A demolition and removals plan would be required as part of any approvals. As the total disturbed area is greater than one (1) acre, an NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permit will be required. The submitted grading and erosion control plan (Sheet C-3.0) indicates a proposed stormwater pond and the southwest corner of the Subject Property. A stormwater narrative was submitted to City staff as part of the application submittal. Per City staff comments, easements should be identified on the submitted utility plan, and a Utility Facilities Easement Agreement is required. The Applicant will also need to complete a Construction Management Plan and Agreement. The installation or revision of all utility services and lines, and the finished grading of the Subject Property are to be reviewed and conducted under issuance of a separate Land Disturbance (Alteration) permit, which is reviewed and approved by City engineers, and inspected for completeness by the City Engineering and Building Official staff. The Applicant will also need to address requests to align the northwest entrance to match the centerline of the entrance on the west side of James Circle North, remove the proposed new north curb cut along Freeway Boulevard, and provide a detailed vehicle turning and tracking movement diagram for delivery and semi-truck vehicles, garbage trucks, etc. Unless otherwise approved by the City Engineer, the perimeters of all driving and parking areas shall be bounded by type B6-12 curb and gutter. BUILDING OFFICIAL REVIEW Building Official Dan Grinsteinner conducted a review of the application submittal and documents and an on-site review of the site and building and provided his initial comments in a memorandum dated November 12, 2021 (Exhibit E). The Applicant will need to apply for a SAC (Sewer Access Charge) determination from the Metropolitan Council. This determination and any charges will be due upon issuance of any building permit. The building will also require installation of a fire sprinkler system, and fire access shall be provided. As this is not an all-encompassing list of requirements or a review of construction plan sets, the Applicant shall work with the Fire Inspector and Building Official to ensure all aspects of the site meet Fire Code and Building Code requirements. SIGNAGE Although wall signage is identified in the submitted architectural renderings, no formal requests for approval were made as part of the application submittal. Any new signage, including wall and monument signs, would require conformance with City Code requirements. Any requests beyond the allowances identified under the City’s sign provisions would require that the Applicant apply for and receive approval to deviate from the outlined requirements. The Applicant will need to file a separate application with the City for any proposed signage. Based on staff findings, staff recommends Planning Commission recommendation of the requested site and building plans for the Subject Property, located at 6440 James Circle North; subject to the ________________ App. No. 2021-006 PC 11/18/2021 Page 12 Applicant receiving approval of a rezoning and establishment for a Planned Unit Development at the Subject Property and complying with all conditions of approval. REZONING AND ESTABLISHMENT OF A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT Section 35-355 (Planned Unit Development) of the City’s Zoning Code notes that upon the rezoning for a PUD, the district shall be designated by the letters “PUD” followed by the alphanumeric designation of the underlying zoning district, which may be either the prior zoning classification or a new classification. Given that the major update to the City Zoning Code is currently underway and changes to districts are anticipated in order to align with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the request would be to re-zone following guidance from the 2040 Comprehensive Plan future land use designations for the Subject Property. This allows for flexibility within the Zoning Code for developments which would not be allowed under the existing regulations. PUDs are often used to achieve a higher quality development, or achieve other City goals, in exchange for zoning flexibility from the City Code. PUDs may only contain uses consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and the uniqueness of each PUD requires that specifications and standards for streets, utilities, public facilities, and the approval of a land subdivision may be subject to modifications from the City ordinances generally governing them— essentially the City Council may approve plans that are not in compliance with the usual specifications or ordinance requirements where it is found that such are not required in the interests of residents or the City, although plans shall comply with all watershed, state, and federal storm water, erosion control, and wetlands requirements. In this particular case, the Applicant would be requesting flexibility from the City’s existing Zoning Code to allow for lesser building setbacks—and specifically, the north and south front yard setbacks (approximately 25 feet each from property line). As approval of any development plan for the Subject Property shall constitute a re-zoning to PUD, approvals to establish a PUD require the City Council to base its actions on the re-zoning under the following criteria: 1.Compatibility of the plan with the standards, purposes, and intent of this section (Section 35- 355); 2.Consistency of the plan with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan; 3.The impact of the plan on the neighborhood in which it is to be located; and 4.The adequacy of internal site organization, uses, densities, circulation, parking facilities, public facilities, recreational areas, open spaces, and buffering and landscaping. With regard to the intended rezoning, Section 35-208 (Rezoning Evaluation Policy and Review Guidelines), outline that it is the City’s policy that: a.Zoning classifications must be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; and b.Rezoning proposals shall not constitute “spot zoning,” defined as a zoning decision which discriminates in favor of a particular landowner, and does not relate to the Comprehensive Plan or to accepted planning principles. Furthermore, requests for rezonings should be assessed against a series of guidelines outlined under the City’s Zoning Code: a.Is there a clear and public need or benefit? ________________ App. No. 2021-006 PC 11/18/2021 Page 13 b.Is the proposed zoning consistent with and compatible with surrounding land use classifications? c.Can all permitted uses in the proposed zoning district be contemplated for development of the Subject Property? d.Have there been substantial physical or zoning classification changes in the area since the Subject Property was zoned? e.In the case of City-initiated rezoning proposals, is there a broad public purpose evident? f.Will the Subject Property bear fully the ordinance development restrictions for the proposed zoning districts? g.Is the Subject Property generally unsuited for uses permitted in the present zoning district, with respect to size, configuration, topography, or location? h.Will the rezoning result in the expansion of a zoning district, warranted by: 1.Comprehensive Planning; 2.The lack of developable land in the proposed zoning district; or 3.The best interests of the community? i.Does the proposal demonstrate merit beyond the interests of an owner or owners of an individual parcel? As proposed, the request would be to re-zone the Subject Property from C2 (Commerce) District to Planned Unit Development/Business Mixed-Use (PUD/B-MU). The Subject Property has been zoned C2 since the late 1970s. Prior to this, the area encompassing the Subject Property was zoned I1 (I ndustrial Park) District. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides the Subject Property under a future land use designation of “Business Mixed-Use,” which, as noted earlier in the report, is a new designation. This future land use designation is generally a flexible land use intended to accommodate manufacturing, warehouse, office, and other uses typically considered under the existing adjacent I1 District properties to the north, but also supporting retail and other commercial uses that would allow for a more dynamic business park area. Residential uses, with the exception of some limited live-work opportunities, are not permitted under this land use designation. As has been noted earlier in the report, the 2040 Comprehensive Plan identifies this property, as well as the immediate surrounding area, as an area of likely proposed changes to the uses that exist today, and City staff has long viewed this area as an area waiting to transition. The entire area located north of Freeway Boulevard is currently zoned I1 District and shares a future land use designation of “Business Mixed-Use” under the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. While there has been some redevelopment and construction of newer style industrial/office buildings in the south portion of Brooklyn Center (e.g. Caribou Headquarters), the majority of industrial buildings located in proximity to the Subject Property are of 1960s to 1980s vintage and often do not possess the clear heights desired in today’s industrial market. On November 8, 2021, Julie Kimble of KimbleCo presented her findings to City Council following a review of market demand and regional market trends affecting Brooklyn Center. Her overview noted that a typical clear height for distribution product types is often greater than 28 feet in height, whereas office/warehouse products are typically 24 feet in height or more. The clear heights for flex, research and development, and office showrooms range between 14 and 20 feet—this is what is more often seen in the City’s I1 District. Although this space is still valuable, the City more often sees these spaces remaining vacant for longer periods of time. The City also fields contacts with a number of interested parties seeking non-typical industrial uses in these areas (e.g. autism centers, medical clinics, churches, ________________ App. No. 2021-006 PC 11/18/2021 Page 14 non-profits). These uses are often at odds with industrial spaces given the parking needs and requirements to retrofit buildings for their usage (e.g. additional fireproofing, panic hardware, inadequate parking). As proposed, the clear height of the approximately 64,000-square foot building would be 28-feet, with an overall height of 36-feet. Although the clear height borders on the minimum clear heights necessary for a distribution facilities, City staff is requesting that as a condition of approval distribution facilities not be permitted except in cases where there is a manufacturing facility or a warehouse where a product is made or packaged on-site. In those situations, the distribution facility could only be accessory in nature. Pending approval, City staff is also requesting a minimum 20-percent finish level be maintained upon full lease-up. These requests are intended to address City staff concerns regarding overall truck traffic generation and the transition and overall impact of this use on the adjacent properties. Industrial space is generally in high demand with a current market demand of 15-million square feet and a vacancy across the Twin Cities of 4.2-percent. The City often receives inquiries for industrial space that the City cannot accommodate—this is both due to the fact that the stock available in the adjacent I1 District is majority-wise of lower clear heights (under 20 feet), and the fact that the City is fairly built out. In reviewing recent approvals for industrial products in Brooklyn Park and Maple Grove, both Cities have received applications for and approved numerous speculative industrial developments. Given the location of the Subject Property, it is understandable why this location would be of interest to an industrial user as these types of uses depend on access to freeway infrastructure. Although the Subject Property is in proximity to a number of hotels, the majority of the City’s hotels are actually in proximity to industrial users and in some cases are actually zoned I1 District. The nearest residential neighborhood is located to the east—across the on/off ramps for Highway 100. The nearest multi-family residential property (Pines Apartments—located at 6511 Humboldt Avenue North) is located to the northeast, across Freeway Boulevard and behind Winner Gas Station (6501 Humboldt Avenue North). Although the entirety of the James Circle North loop is currently zoned C2 (Commerce) District, the last development in this area was the FBI Regional Headquarters (2010). The City’s EDA had previously acquired the property prior to its redevelopment and the City’s EDA also owns 1601 James Circle North, which was formerly the site of a Cracker Barrel and Olive Garden restaurant. The remaining properties within this loop are three hotels (two constructed in 1980 and one in 1995), CES Imaging and print shop (constructed in 1996), and two restaurants (constructed in 1989 and 1996). Assuming the Applicant can meet the outlined conditions of approvals, of which address usage and requests to provide enhanced architectural design and site elements to minimize impacts to adjacent permitted uses, City staff believes the proposed redevelopment could successfully bring the Subject Property back online at a higher use that will provide new business and jobs in the City. Based on staff findings, staff recommends Planning Commission recommendation of the requested establishment of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) and rezoning of the Subject Property, located at 6440 James Circle North from C2 (Commerce) District to PUD/BM-U (Planned Unit Development/Business Mixed-Use); subject to the Applicant receiving approval of the aforementioned site and building plan and complying with all conditions of approval. ________________ App. No. 2021-006 PC 11/18/2021 Page 15 APPROVAL CONDITIONS: Staff recommends the following conditions be attached to any positive recommendation on the approval of Application No. 2021-006 for 6440 James Circle North (Subject Property): 1.The building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits; and the final location or placement of any fire hydrants or other fire-related building code items shall be reviewed and approved by the Fire Inspector. a.

September 14, 2021 Introduction The development site is a 4.03 acre parcel located on the southeast corner of the intersection of Freeway Boulevard and James Circle North. We are proposing to construct a mixed office and light industrial building which will cover approximately 63,780 square feet. The site is bounded on the north by Freeway Boulevard, on the west and south by James Circle North, and on the east by two commercial parcels. Comprehensive Guide Plan Designation The site is currently a Commercial Land Use but is guided for Business Mixed-Use (B-MU) in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Per the 2040 Plan, B-MU is a new designation which guides land for a mixture of uses including commercial, office, general business and light industrial uses. No Land Use designation change is requested. Zoning Classification The property has a current zoned as Commerce (C2). A zoning change to Industrial Park (I1) is requested. Surrounding Sites & History: The site’s previous use was as a bowling alley, Earle Brown Lanes, originally constructed in 1978 and closed in the summer of 2015. While the site was considered for redevelopment as an event center and granted a permit in 2017 and again in 2020, the site has ultimately remained vacant since 2015. Surrounding Property Designations: Land Use (Per 2040 Comprehensive Plan) The site is surrounded on all sides by land guided Business Mixed-Use (B-MU). Zoning The site is surrounded by two uses, Industrial Park (I1) and Commerce (C2) North – Freeway Boulevard and Industrial Park (I1) East – Commerce (C2) South – James Circle Road and Commerce (C2) West – James Circle Road and Commercial (C2) ([KLELW$ Stormwater & Utilities The site is located in the Brooklyn Center Regional Treatment credit area, thus the project will provide treatment for the 1.1 inch “first flush” rainfall event on-site. We are required to have a reduction in stormwater rates. Additionally, stormwater must be treated prior to discharge to remove 60 percent of phosphorus and 85 percent of total suspended solids. Treatment may be provided by one or more permanent sedimentation and water quality ponds or a combination of BMPs that together will meet removal requirements. We anticipate the on-site stormwater will be treated via a pond in the southwest portion of the site. The site is currently served by existing utilities on the north side of the site. Existing utilities will be reused to the greatest extent possible. Traffic The site has two primary parking areas. The west lot will serve office users and has two access points on to James Circle North, one to the north west and one to the south. The east lot provides access to truck docks and has two access points as well. The north access from Freeway Boulevard is intended for entry only and will be signed and enforced with a “Do Not Enter” sign facing toward the lot. The second truck access, to the south of the east lot, is to James Circle North. Conclusion McGlynn Partners LLC seeks to revitalize a vacant underutilized site with good highway access, but which has remained vacant since 2015. The project is environmentally conscious in redeveloping a parcel currently served by existing utilities and roadway infrastructure. The proposed office and light industrial building is in keeping with the City’s vision for the area, as articulated in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, and with a diversity of users will contribute to the vitality of the area. ^/ d > K d / K E /QJCIGP*CPUGPEQO hW ϯ Ϭ Ϭ & ' , ϱϬ Ζ Ͳ Ϭ Η ϱϬ Ζ Ͳ Ϭ Η ϱϬ Ζ Ͳ Ϭ Η ϱϬ Ζ Ͳ Ϭ Η ϯ D , ϭϭ ϯ ^ϲ Ϯ Y Y ϭ ϳ Ϭ Ϭ BB B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B BB B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B BB B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B BB B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B ϰϱ Ϭ Ζ Ͳ Ϭ Η ^ϲ Ϯ ^ϲ Ϯ ϯϮΖͲϬΗ Ϯϰ Ζ Ͳ ϴ ϯ ͬ ϴ Η ϵΖ Ͳ Ϭ Η Ϯ Ϯ Ζ Ͳ ϰ Η ϯ Ζ Ͳ ϰ Η ϰ Ζ Ͳ ϴ Η ϯ Ζ Ͳ ϰ Η ϭ ϴ Ζ Ͳ ϰ Η ϵ Ζ Ͳ Ϭ Η ϯ Ϭ Ζ Ͳ Ϭ Η ϵ Ζ Ͳ Ϭ Η ϭ ϴ Ζ Ͳ ϰ Η ϯ Ζ Ͳ ϰ Η Ϯ Ϭ Ζ Ͳ ϰΗ ϵ Ζ Ͳ Ϭ Η ϭ ϴ Ζ Ͳ Ϭ Η K < > s > ϵϲ Ζ Ͳ Ϭ Η & t > > W < t > > W < t > > W < ͘ ϰ D d > ^ h E ^ , /E ^ / W E > d K D d , d, / ^ : E d W E > /E ^ / W E > d K D d , d, / ^ : E d W E > W W Ͳ ϭ Dd > Ͳ ϭ W W Ͳ Ϯ W W Ͳ Ϯ Dd > Ͳ ϭ W W Ͳ ϯ sd / K E Ͳ E d Z z K Z E Z Ϯ d͘ K ͘ W E > Ͳ ϭϯ ϲ Ζ Ͳ Ϭ Η VI C I N I T Y M A P S03°09'58"E 492.28 S03°09'58"E 492.28 MECH 113 S03°09'58"E 492.28 MECH 113 (A P P R O X I M A T E ) : SW P P P B M P Q U A N T I T I E S IM P E R V I O U S SU M M A R Y : ON: - - - - - - CO N S T R U C T I O N S E Q U E N C E S03°09'58"E 492.28 C- 6 . 1 3 TR E E P R O T E C T I O N F E N C E NO T T O S C A L E S03°09'58"E 492.28 SE E D I N G N O T E S NG D E T A I L 3 PE R E N N I A L P L A N T I N G S NO T T O S C A L E T S O D D E T A I L 8"E 492.28 MECH 113 ([KLELW% ([KLELW& M E M O R A N D U M DATE:November 10, 2021 TO:Ginny McIntosh, City Planner/Zoning Administrator FROM: Andrew Hogg, Assistant City Engineer SUBJECT:Preliminary Site Plan – Crest Phase II Public Works staff reviewed the following documents submitted for review for the proposed Crest Phase II: Preliminary Plans dated August 8, 2021 Subject to final staff Site Plan approval, the referenced plans must be revised in accordance with the following comments/revisions and approved prior to issuance of Land Alteration permit.

These settlements could bring more than $296 million to Minnesota over an 18-year period to support state and local efforts to fight the opioid epidemic.1 How It Works Enables Minnesota to maximize resources to fight the epidemic. For Minnesota to receive the maximum payout under the two national settlements, cities and counties must join the state and sign on to the MN MOA and the settlement agreements. To maximize resources flowing to communities on the front lines of the epidemic, the MN MOA directs settlement funds as follows: x 75 percent to local governments, including all counties and 33 cities. x 25 percent to the state, to be overseen and distributed by the Opioid Epidemic Response Advisory Council. Dedicates funds to addressing the opioid epidemic. The Attorney General’s Office convened an expert panel of local, state, and community providers with experience and expertise in public health and delivery of health care services to determine the best and most effective use of the settlement funds. The panel selected a comprehensive list of future opioid abatement and remediation programs to which these settlement funds must be dedicated. Why It Matters Personal Cost. More than 5,400 Minnesotans have died of opioid overdoses since 2000. The epidemic has torn families apart and ravaged communities, particularly American Indian populations and communities of color. Individuals, families, and communities continue to suffer, as the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a surge in both fatal and nonfatal overdose deaths. Accountability. Opioid manufacturers and distributors created and fueled the opioid epidemic with irresponsible and misleading marketing and inadequate monitoring of these dangerous products. In addition to potentially over $296 million to fight the epidemic, settlements with the three largest drug distributors in the country, as well as one of the largest manufacturers, will shine a light on these companies’ conduct and help make sure nothing like this ever happens again. 1 The MN MOA also governs how opioid abatement funds from the bankruptcy resolutions with Purdue Pharma and Mallinckrodt are distributed within Minnesota. The $296 million figure does not include payments from the Purdue Pharma and Mallinckrodt bankruptcies, which are not yet finalized. Minnesota Opioid Settlement Executive Summary Minnesota has joined a broad multistate coalition in reaching nationwide settlements with the three largest opioid distributors – AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, and McKesson – and opioid manufacturer Johnson & Johnson. The settlements resolve investigations and lawsuits against these companies for their role in the opioid crisis. If the settlements are fully adopted nationally, the distributors will pay $21 billion over 18 years and Johnson & Johnson will pay $5 billion over 10 years. Most states have already joined the settlements, but for the agreements to become effective, a critical mass of cities and counties must sign onto the settlements by January 2, 2022. Settlement Structure If a critical mass of subdivisions sign on and the settlements become effective: x Minnesota will be eligible to receive more than $296 million over 18 years. Up to $222 million of that will be paid directly to Minnesota cities and counties. The total amount of payments to Minnesota will be determined by the overall degree of participation by cities and counties. The more cities and counties that join, the more money everyone in Minnesota will receive. Distribution within Minnesota will be determined by the state- subdivision agreement (see below). o Each state’s share of the funding was determined by agreement among the states using a formula that takes into account the impact of the crisis on the state—the number of overdose deaths, the number of residents with substance use disorder, and the number of opioids prescribed—and the population of the state. x Payments will begin to flow to the state and cities and counties as soon as April 2022. The Johnson & Johnson settlement provides for payments to be accelerated if cities and counties sign on early. x The vast majority of the settlement funds must be used to support any of a wide variety of strategies to fight the opioid crisis. The Attorney General’s Office convened an expert panel of local, state, and community providers with experience and expertise in public health and delivery of health care services to determine the best and most effective use of the settlement funds. The panel selected a comprehensive list of future opioid abatement and remediation programs that will benefit all regions of the state. x In addition to the financial components, the settlements also require the companies to make changes in how opioids are distributed and sold. The companies will be subject to far more oversight and accountability throughout that process to prevent deliveries of opioids to pharmacies where diversion and misuse occur. The distributors will be required to establish and fund a centralized, independent clearinghouse using detailed data analytics to keep close track of opioid distribution throughout the country and raise red flags for 2 suspicious orders. Johnson & Johnson will be prohibited from selling or promoting opioids for ten years. Minnesota Framework Minnesota has been preparing for these settlements and the opportunity they present to deliver substantial funding to needed abatement and remediation programs. In 2019, the Legislature passed the Opiate Epidemic Response bill, creating a special opioid abatement account and the Opioid Epidemic Response Advisory Council, which will oversee the spending of the state’s share of settlement funds. Additionally, a months-long partnership between the state and cities and counties has resulted in a state-subdivision agreement (or “Minnesota Memorandum of Agreement”) that is designed to maximize the settlement funds coming to the State of Minnesota and get them to where they are needed most. The state-subdivision agreement details how the settlement money will be allocated within the state and also sets out a structure for the distribution of opioid abatement funds from pending bankruptcy plans with Purdue Pharma and Mallinckrodt. A copy of the state-subdivision agreement can be found on the Attorney General’s website at www.ag.state.mn.us/opioids. Pursuant to the state-subdivision agreement—and assuming maximum payments— approximately $296 million in funds paid to Minnesota and its cities and counties from the Distributor and Johnson & Johnson settlements, as well as tens of millions of additional dollars from the Purdue Pharma and Mallinckrodt bankruptcies, will be allocated as follows: x Local Government Abatement Fund. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the abatement funds will be paid directly to counties and certain municipalities that participate in the settlement. Local government funds will be directly allocated to all participating counties, and all participating municipalities that: (a) have populations of 30,000 or more, (b) have filed lawsuits against the settling defendants, or (c) have public health departments. To promote efficiency in the use of abatement funds and limit the administratively burdensome disbursements of amounts that are too small to add a meaningful abatement response, smaller, non-litigating municipalities will not receive a direct allocation of settlement funds. The allocation percentages for each county and municipality were determined by counsel for the subdivisions negotiating the national settlement agreements and were calculated using data reflect the impact of the opioid crisis on the subdivision. Tribal nations are conducting separate settlement negotiations with the opioid companies. x State Fund. Twenty-five percent (25) of the abatement funds will be paid directly to the State. Pursuant to state law, these funds will go into the special opioid abatement account to be overseen and distributed by the Opioid Epidemic Response Advisory Council. Under current law, after certain appropriations are made, approximately 50% of the funds paid into the opioid abatement account are distributed to county social service agencies to 3 provide child protection services to children and families who are affected by addiction. The state-subdivision agreement anticipates a change to this law to allow counties to receive their share of the settlement funds directly. The agreement requires the state and subdivisions to work together to achieve this change in law during the 2022 legislative session, and includes a provision changing the allocation between state and local governments if the statutory change is not accomplished. Some municipalities in Minnesota retained attorneys on a contingency fee basis to file lawsuits against the opioid companies. The national settlements establish an Attorney Fee Fund for attorneys representing cities and counties that join the settlements. The settlements require attorneys who recover from this fund to waive enforcement of their contingency fee agreements. The state-subdivision agreement includes a Backstop Fund, which will be overseen by a Special Master, that will allow for the payment of reasonable attorney fees to private attorneys to make up for the difference between what they receive from the national fund and their contingency fee agreements, which are capped at 15%. Any funds that remain in the Backstop Fund after payment of reasonable attorney fees will revert to cities and counties for abatement. Subdivision Participation It is vital for subdivisions to join the settlements during the initial sign-on period, which ends January 2, 2022. First, very high levels of subdivision participation nationally are necessary for the companies to move forward with the settlements and for everyone to benefit from them. Second, cities or counties cannot receive any portion of the direct settlement funds if they do not sign on to the settlements. Third, in order to maximize the settlement payments that come to Minnesota, full joinder by certain categories of counties and cities is needed. Finally, joinder during the initial sign-on period maximizes the amount of funds available to an individual city or county. Next Steps Now: Cities and counties should have received a settlement notice with additional information about the sign on process, which begins by registering on the national settlement website: www.nationalopioidsettlement.com. Registering is a necessary step toward participation in the settlements. The notice each subdivision received by mail and email provides its unique subdivision registration code, which must be used to register. Registering does not mean that the subdivision has accepted the terms of the national settlement agreements or the state-subdivision agreement. Next: Each subdivision, via its local legislative body, should adopt a resolution that authorizes a representative of the subdivision to execute Minnesota’s state-subdivision agreement and both subdivision settlement participation forms (Distributors and Johnson & Johnson), which are required to join the settlements. Cities and counties can obtain model resolutions by contacting the Association of Minnesota Counties or the League of Minnesota Cities. The resolutions should be submitted to the subdivisions’ legislative body (i.e., county commission or city council) for approval. 4 By January 2, 2022: After the appropriate resolution is passed by each subdivision, the authorized representative should sign the Minnesota Memorandum of Agreement, the Distributor Agreement, and the Johnson & Johnson Agreement. The Distributor and Johnson & Johnson agreements can be signed electronically via DocuSign. Subdivisions should receive an email with a link to sign electronically upon registering at www.nationalopioidsettlement.com. Subdivisions are encouraged to sign onto the Minnesota Memorandum of Agreement and the settlement agreements as soon as possible to avoid scheduling challenges and to ensure that we meet the national subdivision participation threshold for the settlements to become effective. Additional information about the settlements and how they are implemented in Minnesota can be found on the Attorney General’s website: www.ag.state.mn.us/opioids. Subdivisions that are represented by an attorney with respect to opioid claims should consult with their attorney. Additionally, specific questions for the Attorney General’s Office can be emailed to opioids@ag.state.mn.us, or left via voicemail at (612) 429-7126.

This document is subject to being updated as additional information is gathered. The terms of the Settlements and the Minnesota Opioids State-Subdivision Memorandum of Agreement (“MN MOA”) are controlling and are not amended or in any way affected by this document. Copies of these settlements, agreement, and other materials can be found at the Attorney General’s website: www.ag.state.mn.us/opioids. 1. My city or county received a notice in the mail and by email about two opioid settlements. What do we do with this and how do we join the Settlements? The notice your city or county received relates to two Settlements resolving opioid claims against the country’s three largest drug distributors, McKesson, Cardinal Health, and AmerisourceBergen, and opioid manufacturer Johnson & Johnson for their role in the opioid epidemic. The notice went out to all Minnesota counties, as well as cities that have a population greater than 10,000 and those that have filed lawsuits against these companies. Under the Settlements, Minnesota and its cities and counties stand to receive up to $296 million in Opioid Settlement Funds to fight the opioid crisis over the next 18 years, starting in early to mid-2022. The more cities and counties that join, the more the Distributors and J&J will pay under the Settlements. The Notice you received should have a unique subdivision registration code. The Attorney General’s Office also sent your city or county a letter attaching this same registration code. Cities or counties must visit www.nationalopioidsettlement.com and use that code to register to receive participation agreements for the Settlements. You will then receive information about how to submit your Subdivision Settlement Participation Forms electronically via DocuSign. You must submit two forms, one for each Settlement. 2. How large are the Settlements? Under the terms of the Settlements, the Distributors and J&J will provide up to $26 billion to states, cities, and counties throughout the country. The Distributors will make payments over a period of 18 years, and J&J will make payments over nine years. 2 3. Is there a deadline for cities and counties to join the Settlements? Yes. Cities and counties should complete their Subdivision Settlement Participation Forms by January 2, 2022. Cities and counties that join after that date risk reducing the entire amount that goes to the State of Minnesota as well as having their own payments reduced. 4. How many Minnesota cities and counties are engaged in litigation against the Distributors and J&J? Twenty-six counties and seven cities have filed lawsuits against the Distributors and/or J&J. Under the MN MOA (see additional information below), all 87 counties and every city that meets the eligibility criteria would receive settlement payments regardless of whether they filed lawsuits, but they must join the Settlements. The Settlements prohibit payments to counties or cities that do not join the Settlements. 5. What is the status of these cases? All Minnesota city and county cases have been consolidated for pretrial proceedings into a Multi-District Litigation (MDL) in federal court in Cleveland, Ohio. The opioid MDL has roughly 3,000 lawsuits from nearly every state. The lawsuits allege that opioid manufacturers misrepresented the risks associated with prescription opioids; that opioid distributors did not properly monitor shipments of prescription opioids to pharmacies across the country; and that these actions contributed to the opioid epidemic that continues to ravage Minnesota and the rest of the country. Until the Settlements are finalized, these cases will remain pending. 6. Has the State of Minnesota joined the Settlements? Yes. The Minnesota Attorney General’s Office, together with the majority of state Attorneys General across the country, has signed on to the Settlements. Those Attorneys General, lawyers representing thousands of municipalities in the national opioid litigation, and the Association of Minnesota Counties, League of Minnesota Cities, and the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities strongly encourage cities and counties to join. Cities and counties that join will be helping to bring additional abatement resources to communities and families throughout the state for substance use prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery. 7. How much will Minnesota receive from the Settlements? Minnesota is eligible to receive a maximum payment of approximately $296 million under the Settlements with the Distributors and J&J. The settlement funds are allocated among states based on population and the impact of the opioid crisis on each state, taking into account several public health measures. The precise amount of settlement funds Minnesota as a whole receives is highly dependent on the level of city and county participation and the avoidance of penalties that would result from cities or counties filing new lawsuits. 3 8. What is the Minnesota Opioids State-Subdivision Memorandum of Agreement? The MN MOA governs how Minnesota will distribute settlement funds from the Settlements with Distributors and J&J. It also governs how opioid abatement funds from the bankruptcy resolutions with Purdue Pharma and Mallinckrodt are distributed within Minnesota. The Purdue Pharma and Mallinckrodt bankruptcies are not yet finalized, and it is not yet known how much money will be coming to the state from these bankruptcies, although the Attorney General’s Office expects the figure to be in the tens of millions. 9. Why is it so important to join the Settlements and the MN MOA? The opioid epidemic has taken the lives of more than 5,400 Minnesotans since 2000. The epidemic has torn families apart and ravaged communities, particularly American Indian populations and communities of color. Individuals, families, and communities continue to suffer, as the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a surge in both fatal and nonfatal overdose deaths. The epidemic was fueled by irresponsible marketing and inadequate monitoring on the part of opioid makers and distributors. In addition to potentially over $296 million to fight the epidemic, settlements with the Distributors and J&J will shine a light on these companies’ conduct and help make sure nothing like this ever happens again. The MN MOA is an important step forward in holding these companies accountable and directing much-needed resources to communities across the state. 10. What are the most important features of the MN MOA? The Settlements require state and local governments to use the vast majority of settlement funds to address the opioid epidemic. Consistent with this principle, the MN MOA dedicates funds to that purpose. The Attorney General’s Office convened an expert panel of local, state, and community providers with experience and expertise in public health and delivery of health care services to determine the best and most effective use of the settlement funds (the “Advisory Panel to the Attorney General on Distribution and Allocation of Opioid Settlement Funds” or the “panel”). The panel selected a comprehensive list of future opioid abatement and remediation programs to which these settlement funds must be dedicated, whether those funds are received by the State, cities, or counties. The MN MOA also enables Minnesota to maximize resources to fight the epidemic. The MN MOA was designed to incentivize cities and counties to join in order to earn the maximum amount of payments from the Settlements. To maximize resources flowing to communities on the front lines of the epidemic, the MN MOA directs settlement funds as follows: x 75 percent to local governments, including all counties and 33 cities. x 25 percent to the state, to be overseen and distributed by the Opioid Epidemic Response Advisory Council. 4 11. How does my city or county sign onto the MN MOA? The county board, city council, or equivalent legislative body can pass a resolution stating its intent to sign onto the MOA and directing the appropriate county or city official to execute the MOA. Sample resolutions are available from the Association of Minnesota Counties and the League of Minnesota Cities. 12. If my city or county signs onto the MN MOA, does that mean it automatically signs onto the Settlements with the Distributors or J&J? No. A city or county that signs the MN MOA is agreeing to a framework for how settlement funds will flow in the event the Settlements become effective. However, the city or county must separately sign on to the Settlements in order to receive payments pursuant to the MN MOA. 13. If my city or county joins the Settlements, will we receive direct payments? It depends. All counties that join are set to receive direct allocation under the terms of the MN MOA, as well as all cities that join and meet the following eligibility criteria: x Have a population of 30,000 or more, based on the U.S. Census Bureau’s Vintage 2019 population totals; x Have funded or otherwise managed an established health care or treatment infrastructure (e.g., health department or similar agency); or x Have initiated litigation against the Distributors or J&J as of December 3, 2021. The population threshold for non-litigating cities to receive a direct allocation of funds recognizes that the efficient delivery of opioid abatement services is hindered if the funds are divided into hundreds of small allocations. Even with potentially upwards of $300 million coming into Minnesota, allocating funds among several hundred smaller cities and towns would result in minimal payments for most subdivisions, in many cases less than a few dollars a year. For that same reason, under the MN MOA cities allocated a share may elect to have their full share or a portion of their share instead directed to the county in which the city is located. Although not all cities will receive a direct allocation of opioid abatement funds, those cities will still benefit from the opioid remediation efforts that take place in their communities. Moreover, under the MN MOA, each county receiving opioid settlement funds must consult annually with the cities in the county regarding use of the settlement funds. Finally, cities that are not eligible for a direct share may also request grants for opioid remediation programs from the state’s opioid remediation fund, which are distributed via the Opioid Epidemic Response Advisory Council and the Department of Human Services. 5 14. If my city or county joins, how much money will we receive? Under the terms of the MN MOA, local governments (including cities and counties) that join the Settlements will directly receive 75% of the total abatement funds, divided among the counties and eligible cities in the percentages reflected in Exhibit B to the MN MOA. The percentages reflected in Exhibit B are based upon the MDL’s Opioid Negotiation Class Model. Experts and attorneys representing local governments in the MDL developed the allocation model based on nationally available federal data on opioid use disorder, overdose deaths, and opioid shipments into Minnesota, by region and community. 15. When will my city or county get payments? Payments from the Settlements will begin to flow to the state and directly to cities and counties as soon as April 2022. The Distributors will make payments over a period of 18 years, and J&J will make payments over nine years. The J&J settlement provides for payments to be accelerated if cities and counties sign on early. 16. How much money will the State receive, and where will it go? Under the terms of the MN MOA, the statewide abatement share is 25% of the total abatement funds. By statute, these funds will go into a special opioid abatement account and are designated to be used solely for opioid abatement purposes pursuant to the Approved Uses in the MN MOA, overseen and distributed by the Opioid Epidemic Response Advisory Council.1 17. What about attorney fees? The state’s investigation and litigation against the opioid industry is handled by government lawyers in the Attorney General’s Office. No money from these Settlements will go to pay any state lawyers. Some cities and counties in Minnesota retained attorneys on a contingency fee basis to file lawsuits against the opioid companies. The national settlements establish an Attorney Fee Fund for attorneys representing cities and counties that join the settlements. The settlements require attorneys who recover from this fund to waive enforcement of their contingency fee agreements. The MN MOA includes a Backstop Fund, which will be overseen by a Special Master, that will allow for the payment of reasonable attorney fees to private attorneys to make up for the difference between what they receive from the national fund and their contingency fee agreements, which are capped at 15%. The Backstop Fund is funded by a percentage of the local government share of 1 Under current law, after certain appropriations are made, approximately 50% of the funds paid into the opioid abatement account are distributed to county social service agencies to provide child protection services to children and families who are affected by addiction. The state-subdivision agreement anticipates a change to this law to allow counties to receive their share of the settlement funds directly. The agreement requires the state and subdivisions to work together to achieve this change in law during the 2022 legislative session, and includes a provision changing the allocation between state and local governments if the statutory change is not accomplished. 6 settlement funds, and any funds that remain in the Backstop Fund after payment of reasonable attorney fees will revert to cities and counties for abatement. 18. How will the money coming into Minnesota be tracked? The Advisory Panel to the Attorney General on Distribution and Allocation of Opioid Settlement Funds agreed upon a set of reporting and compliance recommendations to make sure that the abatement money coming into Minnesota is effectively tracked and spent on strategies and programs that have a real impact in the state. The MN MOA will be supplemented to include provisions that will be mutually agreed upon by the State and cities and counties utilizing the panel’s recommendations. 19. Can a city join the Settlements even if it does not receive a direct allocation of abatement funds? Yes. The Settlements allow for all cities and counties to join, even ones that are not directly allocated amounts from the 75% local government share. For cities with populations greater than 10,000, joining the Settlements will assist Minnesota in earning the maximum amount possible. Non-litigating cities with populations under 10,000 were not sent notices and are not able to use the DocuSign process, but may still want to join the Settlements. If such cities want to join the settlements, they can contact the Attorney General’s Office to receive the subdivision joinder forms by emailing opioids@ag.state.mn.us. 20. Does the MN MOA apply to matters other than the Distributor and J&J Settlements? Yes. The MN MOA replaces default provisions in the Purdue Pharma L.P. and Mallinckrodt plc bankruptcy plans. The Attorney General’s Office anticipates that the Purdue Pharma and Mallinckrodt bankruptcy proceedings will provide tens of millions of additional dollars to Minnesota to support state and local efforts to address the opioid epidemic across the state. These funds will be distributed throughout the state according to the provisions MN MOA, just like the settlement funds from the Distributor and J&J Settlements. 21. Do the Settlements require the companies to do more than pay money? Yes. In addition to paying billions of dollars, the companies are also required to make changes in how opioids are distributed and sold. The companies will be subject to far more oversight and accountability throughout that process to prevent deliveries of opioids to pharmacies where diversion and misuse occur. The Distributors will be required to establish and fund a centralized, independent clearinghouse using detailed data analytics to keep close track of opioid distribution throughout the country and raise red flags for suspicious orders. J&J will be prohibited from selling or promoting opioids for ten years. 7 22. How do the Settlements and the MN MOA relate to the McKinsey settlement that was announced in February? The McKinsey settlement is separate from the Settlements with the Distributors and J&J, and from the Purdue and Mallinckrodt bankruptcy proceedings. In February 2021, Attorney General Keith Ellison and other attorneys general from across the country reached a $573 million settlement with one of the world’s largest consulting firms, McKinsey & Company, over the company’s role in advising opioid companies how to promote their drugs and profit from the opioid epidemic. As part of the settlement with McKinsey, Minnesota will receive nearly $8 million, $6.6 million of which has already been paid. The remainder will be paid over four years. The entire settlement sum will be placed into the special opioid abatement account and used to abate the opioid crisis in the state. 23. Apart from the Distributors and J&J Settlements, the Purdue and Mallinckrodt bankruptcy proceedings, and the recent McKinsey settlement, is there other opioid- related litigation brought by state and local governments? Yes. In addition to these cases, the Attorney General’s Office continues to be engaged in multistate investigations and settlement negotiations with numerous other pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors for violations of state consumer protection laws. The Office is leading nationwide efforts to ensure public disclosure of opioid-related documents, which are designed to achieve accountability, transparency, and prevention of future harm. The Office is also coordinating with the Opioid Epidemic Response Advisory Council to ensure any potential settlement funds are used as effectively as possible throughout Minnesota to remedy the ongoing opioid crisis. 24. Where can I get more information about the Settlements? Cities or counties that hired attorneys to file opioid litigation should consult their attorneys. Additional information on the Settlements can be found at the national settlement website, www.nationalopioidsettlement.com, or the Attorney General’s website: www.ag.state.mn.us/opioids. To speak with someone on the Attorney General’s opioids team, email opioids@ag.state.mn.us or call (612) 429-7126 and leave a voicemail.

M %'* City of Brooklyn Center Community Development Director Attn: Ms. Meg Beekman 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 Delivered via Email –– Monday, November 8th, 2021 Ms. Meg Beekman, Alatus LLC (“Alatus”), Project for Pride in Living (“PPL”), and Resurrecting Faith World Ministries (“RFWM”) are pleased to present the following Concept Site Plan Review application for the proposed redevelopment of the parcels located at 2500 CO and 5900 Shingle Creek Parkway, Brooklyn Center, MN 55430. The proposed project, the “Pilot Site”, will encompass a significant area of the land on the tax parcels PID #0211821240019 and PID #0211821240019, both currently owned by the City of Brooklyn Center Economic Development Authority. Project goals and public benefits envisioned for the Pilot Site are as follows: Spectrums of Housing & Affordability – Market-rate, mixed-income, and low-income rental opportunities will allow for diverse demographic and socioeconomic populations to live and occupy the same spaces. Development sponsor PPL will be creating phased development of family oriented low-income housing tax credit properties with rent and income thresholds from 30% AMI to 60% AMI and with 2, 3, and 4 BDR offerings. These types of units are tremendously undersupplied in the Twin Cities metropolitan area and will be very valuable to the Brooklyn Center community. Wholistic Community Enhancing Spaces and Places – Development sponsor RFWM is proposing a ~27,500 sqft Gathering and Event Space focused on a campus orientation development proposal that includes the aforementioned housing spectrum and other offerings to wholistically help communities grow and thrive. The Pilot Site will also include the development of a community-based Business Incubator as a focal point for the entire development staging. This Business Incubator will be programmed and owned by the City of Brooklyn Center and will help to advance equitable outcomes for entrepreneurs and business owners in and around the city of Brooklyn Center. The programming of this space will be informed by input sessions crafted by NEOO and the City of Brooklyn Center and the spatial programming will be further enhanced by Design by Melo and their robust engagement initiatives. Environmentally and Fiscally Sustainable – the Pilot Site will be both fiscally and economically sustainable. Residential developments within the Pilot Site will achieve LEED Certifications and/or Well Built Certifications to ensure a high threshold of livability for all resident populations. The Pilot Site’s location next to a strong retail hub with two value oriented grocers and a Metro Transit Bus Rapid Transit Line C facility with direct access to Downtown Minneapolis should help to minimize car dependency and allow for cheaper multi-modal last-mile trips. Future Equitable Development Opportunities – the Pilot Site is an initial opportunity to craft a business plan and scope and ultimately physical programming that touches on many of the development processes that have often been lacking in diverse communities. Inevitably, there will be ideas that cannot be incorporated, missed opportunities, or process breakdowns. As the Pilot Site is just a small portion of the total amount of land owned by the City of Brooklyn Center Economic Development Authority, the engagement, entitlement, and development processes can be refined and modified moving forward for a more complete process with respect to the next phase of development on the larger Opportunity Site. The nature of the proposed development is concentrated on creating a spectrum of opportunities for community members of all different backgrounds. The proposed housing mix will include the creation of a gateway 4 to 6-story market-rate multi-family rental housing development with shared plaza a public spaces with the Business Incubator, next to a mixed-income multi-family project with shared pedestrian and vehicular infrastructure, phased low-income housing tax credit properties as further defined below, the integration of the Gathering and Event Space and its campus concept, all woven together with permeable pedestrian infrastructure and traffic calming vehicular access points. At this time the Concept Site Plan estimates the following unit types and counts for housing options on the development site: Area B + D, Building C: Public Plaza, ~20,000 sqft Community Business Incubator, and Flex Street / Woonerf Building F: 4 to 6-story market-rate multi-family rental community with 289 units and 441 parking stalls (below grade, podium, and parallel surface); Building F will also host the shared fitness, remote working facility, training, and locker room facilities that will be accessible to all residents in the Pilot Site Building E: ~27,500 sqft Gathering & Event Space with mental health and therapy suites, private event spaces, 24/7 childcare, and barber shop spaces Building G: 2 to 6-story mixed-income* multi-family rental community with 205 units and 286 parking stalls (below grade, podium, and parallel surface) o *– Note – Mixed-income refers to 51% of the total units, or 103 units, being at or less than 80% AMI rental and income restricted; it should also be noted that a majority of these affordable units will be 2 and 3 BDR units Building(s) H: 4 phased low-income housing tax credit developments; 3 phases will consist of 4 to 5-story low-income housing tax credit multi-family rental communities with 60 units and ~55 parking stalls (below grade, and parallel surface)**; 4 th phase will consist of a 4- story low-income housing tax credit multi-family rental community with 70 units and ~55 parking stalls (below grade, and parallel surface)*** o **– Note – these first three phases will consist of a majority of family unit sizes from 2 to 4 BDR offerings at 30% to 60% AMI rental and income restrictions o ***– Note – this final phase will consist of workforce housing with smaller unit types It is very important to note that Area B + D, and Building C, as well as portions of Building E will continue to be investigated and shaped as the respective development sponsors continue engagement with the community of Brooklyn Center. Even at the time of this submission, the development sponsors have been considering other programming additions such as an autonomous EV bus-circulator to and from the Shingle Creek Crossing Retail Center, the inclusion of a commercially scaled community garden or greenhouse, community commercial kitchens for start-up food enterprises, and the ability to create commercial space ownership opportunities for community business proprietors. There will be numerous engagement opportunities moving forward from this point on in formal and informal settings. The development sponsors will make every effort to make recordings available for viewing and comment or questions for those that cannot physically participate or would prefer to give feedback in a different medium. Materials will be shared at the following URL with re-direction to various other site planning materials and documents: https://clients.bolton-menk.com/brooklyncenter2019/opportunitysite/ Other formal engagement dates will be as follows: Neighborhood Meeting – Preliminary Concept Site Plan – Wednesday, December 8 th, 2021 Open Comments & Questions Period – Environmental Assessment Worksheet – Mid-January to Mid-February Neighborhood Meeting – Final Concept Site Plan – Wednesday, February 9 th, 2022 Neighborhood Meeting – Final Concept Site Plan #2 – Wednesday, February 23 rd, 2022 These dates are subject to change and advance notice on times, dates, locations, and other opportunities for engagement will be communicated over the website and via various communication channels including social media platforms.

On Carvana.com, in as little as five minutes, customers can shop an inventory of more than 20,000 vehicles, finance, purchase, and schedule as-soon-as-next-day delivery or pick-up at a Carvana location. Customers can also sell their current vehicle to Carvana and receive a real offer in just minutes – even without purchasing a vehicle. The Carvana experience saves customers valuable time and money by skipping the dealership and shopping online. All pre-owned vehicles in Carvana’s national inventory are photographed in 360 degrees, so customers get a high-definition virtual tour, along with the peace of mind of a 7-day return policy. This upgrade to the traditional test drive gives customers the time to ensure their vehicle meets their expectations and fits their lifestyle. Carvana currently operates 30 Vending Machines across the country in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas (and coming soon to Colorado, New York, Utah, and Virginia). The Carvana Fulfillment Center is simply the latest innovation and evolution of the delivery of goods and services. The Carvana Vending Machine is part customer experience, part entertainment, part e- commerce fulfillment, and a display of technological art through its iconic architecture. Fulfillment Center / Vending Machine Carvana’s Car Vending Machine offers car buyers a one-of-a-kind experience. Carvana customers who choose Touchless Pickup at a Carvana Fulfillment Center can enjoy the unique experience Carvana is known for, from a safe, comfortable distance providing area residents with a fun and safe option for getting their next vehicle. A Carvana Vending Machine is a Fulfillment Center for customer pick-up and interaction. There are no “for-sale” vehicles located on-site as all vehicles on display in the tower have already been purchased online. Only cars that have been inspected and fully reconditioned for delivery are placed in the tower for pick-up by Carvana customers. 2 Carvana’s 8-Tier Display Tower Vending Machine Structure Because the Vending Machine is Carvana’s “visual representation of the company”, the building itself employs a uniquely iconic signature architecture that visually illustrates an innovative technology company. The tower is comprised of a mechanical elevator and racking system, making it an exciting experience for final pick-up of a vehicle. Our unique signage is considered our Branding Package. The welcome center features seating, flat screen displays, and a glass viewing area where customers experience the operation of the tower’s automation system from behind an insulated glass enclosure. The tower consists of four metal vehicle pallets per level where pre-sold vehicles are stored and displayed. Access is controlled such that the only time the tower would be accessed by people is for annual maintenance by skilled professionals. The Carvana Experience By appointment only, customers can select a day and time convenient for them, at which time they will be the only customer inside the Vending Machine/Fulfillment Center. They will be greeted by a Carvana Customer Advocate and receive a commemorative, oversized Carvana token to activate the automated vehicle vending process. Car buyers can then get an immersive, central view of their vehicle descending through the structure from the heart of the all-glass tower. 3 Music and lights heighten the excitement as the customer watches the mechanical conveyor system spin and place the target car into the middle of the tower where it is slowly lowered to the ground floor. The vehicle pallet is then placed into one of two delivery bays by another horizontal conveyor system. Once all the mechanisms have ceased to operate, the door of the bay opens and the customer is able to inspect their vehicle. This “vending” process takes approximately 4 to 5 minutes. After completing the sales transaction and accepting delivery, the customer drives away happy and satisfied to begin their 7-day test drive. All vehicle pick-up appointments are pre-scheduled with customers following their online purchase. Our operations allow us to meet with 3 to 4 customers per hour depending upon scheduling and order fulfillments. E-Commerce In addition to selling vehicles online, Carvana also purchases vehicles from customers online via our “Sell To Carvana” portal, which allows customers to sell and/or trade in their vehicle to Carvana “in just a few easy steps”. 4 Following Carvana’s purchase of a vehicle, Carvana customers have the option of having their vehicle picked up or dropping it off at a Carvana location, including our Fulfillment Centers. Vending Machine Operations On-site operations include 100-plus parking spaces. These spaces are utilized by customers and employees for parking, with the surplus being utilized for temporary storage (typically less than 48 hours) of vehicles that have been delivered to the location waiting to be loaded into the tower, as well as vehicles that have been purchased through our “Sell To Carvana” program. Carvana has a fleet of multi-car haulers that make deliveries to the site 4 to 5 times each day on average during non-peak hours. The Carvana-branded hauler can deliver and pick up 9 vehicles per visit. It takes our drivers approximately 60 to 90 minutes to fully unload and reload the hauler truck and exit the site. Approximately 20 people will be employed at this location. These employees, called Customer Advocates, typically work in shifts such that no more than 10-12 employees are on-site at any given time. Their activities include scheduling appointments with customers, welcoming customers to the facility, assisting in the on-loading and off-loading of vehicles from the delivery trucks, inspecting and accepting “Sell To Carvana” vehicles, finalizing purchase paperwork, and presenting them with their new car. 5 The Carvana Difference Carvana has disrupted the auto dealership industry with The New Way to Buy a Car™ by differentiating ourselves in the following ways: The Carvana Difference Traditional Automobile Dealers Carvana 10 to 20 Acres 2 to 5 Acres 650± Parking Spaces 100+ Parking Spaces Vehicle Inventory On Display Only Pre-Sold Vehicles Stored Temporarily Business Generated by Drop-In Customers Vehicles Picked Up by Appointment Only Outdoor Intercom Speaker Noise No Outdoor Speakers Promotional Advertising Signage / Props Carvana Brand Signage on Building Service and Parts Center No Service or Parts Center Environmental Waste Products No Environmental Waste Products Test Drives No Test Drives (7-day return policy) Fuel Pumps No Fuel Pumps Center A Carvana Vending Machine is more than just a Fulfillment Center for an e-commerce-oriented retailer of used vehicles. The draw of an iconic Carvana Tower will increase visitors to the Village of Skokie for the Vending Machine experience and will in turn spend time and money patronizing local businesses, attractions, and entertainment venues.

RECITALS A. On March 10, 2011, Centro Saturn Holdings SPE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Landlord’s predecessor in interest, and Zheng Asian, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, Tenant’s predecessor interest, entered into a Lease Agreement (“Lease”) whereby Tenant’s predecessor in interest leased, for a term of one hundred twenty (120) full calendar months beginning on the Commencement Date, from Landlord’s predecessor in interest that certain premises known as Store #5810 consisting of 8,100 rentable square feet located at 5810 Shingle Creek Parkway, Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55430 (the “Premises”). B. In March 2016, Landlord and Tenant entered an Amendment to Lease (“First Amendment”). C. Landlord intends to sell the property that includes but may not be limited to the Premises (“Property”) to Purchaser for the purpose of the Property’s redevelopment, including the demolition of the Premises. D. On January 22, 2021, the Parties entered into a Second Amendment to Lease Agreement and Relocation Assistance Agreement (“Second Amendment”), extending the Lease to December 31, 2021 and incorporating a number of provisions related to the potential redevelopment of the Property. E. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, Tenant was paid a one-time non-refundable Relocation Payment in the amount of $40,000 (“Relocation Payment”). F. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the termination of the Lease, the options to extend the same, and the payment of the Early Termination Payment, as defined therein were contingent upon the closing of the sale of the Property by December 31, 2021. G. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, Tenant was given the right to exercise its five-year Option Term as defined in and under the terms of the Lease by email notice up until December 31, 2021, with such notice becoming effective upon transmission of the email notice to Landlord notwithstanding any notice requirements to the contrary under the terms of the Lease. 2 H. The closing of the Property did not occur prior to December 31, 2021, and likely will not occur until August 31, 2022. I. Tenant provided notice to the City by December 31, 2021, exercising its Option on the Lease, with the understanding that the Parties will execute this document in early January 2022, extending the Lease and the right to exercise a five-year Option as described herein. J. The Parties desire to extend the substantive provisions of the Second Amendment to August 31, 2022, as described herein through the execution of this Third Amendment, with such substantive provisions replacing those contained in the Second Amendment. AGREEMENT 1. Recitals. All recitals are incorporated by reference as terms of this Third Amendment. 2. Lease Termination and Early Termination Payment. The Lease, and the options to extend the same, shall terminate upon and merge into the closing of the sale of the Property, provided such sale and closing occurs on or before August 31, 2022. In exchange for the early termination of the lease and extinguishment of the options to extend the term, and contingent upon the closing of the Property to Purchaser on or before August 31, 2022, at closing Purchaser shall pay Tenant $300,000.00 (“Early Termination Payment”). The Early Termination Payment is conditioned upon Tenant’s timely vacancy of the Premises , as provided under the Lease. In the event the closing of the sale of the Property does not occur by August 31, 2022, then the Lease and its amendments shall remain in full force and effect, including Tenant’s options to extend the same, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Lease, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, or any other document. For the avoidance of doubt, until the closing of the Property on or before August 31, 2022, the Lease, and the Tenant’s right to extend the same beyond August 31, 2022, shall remain in full force and effect and is and will be extended to August 31, 2022, notwithstanding any expiration of the Lease under its terms or the terms of any Amendment to the same, modified as described herein. If the closing of the sale of the Property does not occur on or before August 31, 2022, Tenant shall have the right to notify Landlord, by email, of its exercise of the full five-year Option Term under the terms of the Lease up until August 31, 2022, notwithstanding any notice requirements to the contrary under the terms of the Lease, with such notice becoming effective upon transmission of email notice to Landlord. The five-year Option Term shall commence upon Tenant’s sending of the notice described herein. 3 3. Rent. During the remaining term of the Lease, including the extension to August 31, 2022 under the terms of this Third Amendment, but excluding any exercised Option Term, and provided that Tenant continues to operate its business at the Premises, Tenant shall pay $0.00 in Minimum Annual Rent under Section 4.01(a) of the Lease, but shall remain obligated to pay Additional Rent and Percentage Rent. In the event that Tenant ceases operations of its business at the Premises during the remaining term of the Lease as herein extended to August 31, 2022, but excluding any exercised Option Term, then during the time in which Tenant is not operating, Tenant shall pay $0.00 in Rent, as that term is defined in Article IV of the Lease, including but not limited Minimum Annual Rent, Percentage Rent, and Additional Rent. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing or via email at least 30 days in advance of ceasing operations in order to allow adequate time for proper building close up and transfer of payment obligations. 4. Governing Law. This Third Amendment is governed and controlled as to validity, enforcement, interpretation, construction, effect and in all other respects by the statutes, laws and decisions of the State of Minnesota. 5. Counterparts/.pdf Signatures. This Third Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one agreement. Signatures sent by .pdf via e-mail may be used in place of original signatures. 6. Entire Agreement. This Third Amendment is the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the extension of the substantive provisions contained in the Second Amendment. The terms and conditions of this Third Amendment shall be and are binding on each of the party’s assignees and/or subsidiaries, including but not limited to the payment obligations of Landlord and Purchaser. Except as expressly provided in this Third Amendment, all other provisions of the Lease, First Amendment, and Second Amendment are not modified and remain in effect. The Parties recognize that the Relocation Fee was paid in accordance with the provisions of the Second Amendment and no further relocation fee is required. 7. Effectiveness. The submission of a draft or copy of this Third Amendment for review or signature is not an offer to enter into a legally binding agreement and may not be relied on for legal or equitable rights or obligations. The Parties shall be bound by the terms of this Third Amendment only upon its execution by the Parties. By executing the Third Amendment, Purchaser is obtaining no rights or obligations under, nor does it become a party to, the Lease or First Amendment. 4 8. Assignment. This Third Amendment may not be assigned without the City’s prior written consent. 9. Recording. The Parties agree that a Memorandum of Lease may be filed with the County Recorder or Registrar of Titles for the purposes of providing notice concerning the existence of this Agreement and lease for the Premises.
