S U B J E C T:O ath of O ffice for J anuary
B ackground:
At the January 11, 2021, C ity C ouncil mee-ng we are tenta-vely set to s w ear in C ouncilmember Butler and
Councilmember Law rence-A nderson. W ith the mee-ng being held virtually, there may be ques-ons
regarding taking the oath of office in a virtual format.
The oath of office contains an oral and wri6en component, typically performed at the s ame -me. The
w ri6en component requires a signature from the incoming council member.
Minnes ota law cons iders the oath of office an "acknowledgement" for purpos es of M innesota S tatutes ,
chapter 358. A n acknow ledgement requires the incoming council member to personally appear before a
notary public, except as noted below. The city clerk or any other regis tered notary public may acknowledge
the oath of office, including out-of-state notary publics registered in other s tates .
W ith all of that s aid, there are tw o op-ons regarding taking the oath of office:
1. The oath of office could be administered prior to the incep-on of the new council term. This op-on
w ould take into account C O V I D -19 s ocial distancing and mas k requirements. I t would take place at
city in the council chambers . W ith this op-on, we could also perform a ceremonial oath of office at
the J anuary 11th City Council mee-ng as well.
2. A remote online notary public must administer the oath. They w ould need to verify the signer's
iden-ty; O bs erve the electronic s ignature being applied by the s igner; A pply the remote online
notary's electronic s ignature and seal to the s igned document as part of the "remote online notarial
cer-ficate"; and record the video and audio of each notarial act and maintain the recording for at leas t
10 years .

SPECIAL MEETING
NOVEMBER 13, 2020
CALL TO ORDER
The Brooklyn Center City Council Special Meeting was called to order by Mayor 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
Curt Boganey, Deputy City Manager Dr. Reggie Edwards, City Clerk Barb Suciu, and Deputy
City Clerk Alix Bentrud.
CANVASS THE NOVEMBER 3, 2020 GENERAL ELECTION RESULTS
City Clerk Barb Suciu provided a general overview of the 2020 General Election in Brooklyn
Center. She added voter turnout was very high, with 4,811 election day voters and 9,225 absentee
ballots for a total of 14,036 voters or 79% voter turnout. She noted this is one of the highest
turnouts ever in Brooklyn Center history.
Ms. Suciu stated a breakdown of absentee voting shows the majority of votes received in the mail,
or 46%; 35% in person; 18% through direct balloting, and 1% at the health care center. She added
health care center staff provided the absentee ballot voting process for their residents due to the
pandemic. She congratulated the staff for doing a great job.
Ms. Suciu stated hours were extended for in-person absentee voting until 7:00 p.m. on weeknights,
and for four days immediately prior to Election Day, from 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. She added
absentee ballot drive-through service was also available for four days prior to Election Day. She
noted these new initiatives worked out well.
Ms. Suciu stated she would like to extend her thanks and appreciation to everyone who helped
with the election: CARS staff for the use of Constitutional Hall for a polling place; Maintenance
staff for providing help for outside voter lines, including snow shoveling and bringing chairs out
for people to sit on; the Fire Department for setting up the drive-through service at East Fire
Station; the Police Department for allowing CSOs to assist with the drive-through; Public Works
crews for voting equipment delivery and for staffing the drive-through, and to Mr. Cote for
assisting with drive-through set-up; Finance Department staff who worked at the drive-through;
Earle Brown Heritage Center staff for allowing the use of their facility as a polling place, and for
their support and assistance; Engineering and Community Development staff who offered to work
at the drive-through; and Administrative staff for their patience and understanding with logistic
changes within City Hall. She thanked Mr. Boganey for his understanding and support with the
volume of absentee voting.

Ms. Suciu expressed her appreciation for the election judges who were well-informed and made
the process smoother; Maranatha Health Center staff for taking on absentee voting at their site;
City Clerk’s staff, for their hard work and efforts in facilitating a successful election during a
pandemic; and to all Brooklyn Center voters for their patience and understanding. She stated there
were a lot of voters. She added both she and Deputy City Clerk Alix Bentrud contracted Covid-
19 before the election, and she thanked City Staff who stepped in to cover for them.
Ms. Suciu stated the candidates with the highest number of votes were Marquita Butler with 5,217
votes, and Kris Lawrence-Anderson with 5,162 votes.
Mr. Boganey stated City Staff recommends City Council adoption of a Resolution related to the
2020 General Election results.
Mayor Elliott requested clarification regarding the difference between in-person voting and direct
balloting, in terms of logistics. Ms. Suciu stated the in-person process includes paperwork and
multiple envelopes and can be a time-consuming process for voters and election staff. She added
direct balloting begins 7 days prior to Election Day, and voters can deposit their ballot directly
into the tabulator. She noted many voters take advantage of the direct ballot process.
Mayor Elliott asked whether many voters took advantage of the drive-through voting opportunity.
Ms. Suciu stated approximately 140 voters used the drive-through, which was open for 4 days
immediately before Election Day. She noted this can be attributed to the fact that residents are
used to coming to City Hall to drop off their ballots.
Councilmember Butler stated voters were able to track their absentee ballot via the State of
Minnesota website. She asked if this is a new process. Ms. Suciu stated ballot tracking was in
place before 2020, but it was more publicized this year due to anticipated high numbers of early
voters.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson expressed her appreciation for the City Clerk and all City
Staff for their hard work and long hours throughout the election. She added she has heard many
positive reports from voters about their experiences. She noted the entire election process was
thorough, expedient and positive.
Councilmember Ryan stated he echoes the sentiments of Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson.
He added he hopes Ms. Suciu and Ms. Bentrud are feeling better and hopes their experience with
Covid-19 was not as severe as it has been for some people. He expressed his appreciation to Mr.
Boganey and all City Staff for stepping up and working hard to pull off a good election in a
difficult year.
Mr. Boganey thanked Ms. Suciu and Ms. Bentrud and the rest of the City Staff team, who were
able to get the job done, and done well, and for their excellent efforts on behalf of Brooklyn
Center during this difficult time.
There was a motion by Ryan and seconded by Mayor Elliott to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2020-
109 Regarding the Canvass of the November 3, 2020 Municipal General Election.
11/13/2020

The motion passed 4-0.

election operations. He added this is incredibly important work, both locally and throughout the
country.

Mayor Mike Elliott and Councilmembers Marquita Butler, April Graves, Kris Lawrence-
Anderson, and Dan Ryan. Also present were City Manager Curt Boganey, Deputy City Manager
Reggie Edwards, Police Chief Tim Gannon, City Clerk Barb Suciu, and City Attorney Troy
Gilchrist.
CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS
-None.
MISCELLANEOUS
Councilmember Graves asked whether Police Chief Tim Gannon has additional information and
data regarding processing of rape kits, in terms of third-party involvement, how many cases, and
processing time. She added she requested additional information at a previous discussion but never
received it.
Police Chief Gannon stated every rape kit is submitted directly to the BCA, and the City does not
use a third party for submittal of rape kits. He added the kits are not maintained at the Brooklyn
Center Police Department.
Councilmember Graves asked if the Police Department follows up with the BCA. Chief Gannon
stated the Police Department follows up with the victim and begins an investigation. He added
kits are often submitted to hospitals without a name, but the Police Department still submits them
to the BCA for statistical purposes, and they are processed and investigated.
Councilmember Graves stated any additional information would be appreciated. She added a
community member has reached out to her for information a few times. Chief Gannon agreed to
provide an investigation timeline and information on the number of kits currently being processed.
DISCUSSION OF WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEMS AS TIME PERMITS
TOBACCO LICENSE FOR JAMBO AFRICA
11/23/20 -2- DRAFT
Mr. Boganey stated a request was received from Simone Chambliss, owner of Jambo Africa, to
apply for a tobacco license for her restaurant. He added Ms. Chambliss originally requested a
tobacco license in 2018, and would have been allowed to apply for a tobacco license at that time
if City Staff had the necessary additional information, and the application would probably have
been approved, and a tobacco license granted to her.
Mr. Boganey stated City Staff recommends that the City Council consider adopting a Resolution
that would allow Ms. Chambliss to apply for a tobacco license as if it occurred in 2018. He added
this would have no effect on the City’s 15-license limit.
Councilmember Butler asked whether the error related to the application was caused by the
applicant or the City. Mr. Boganey stated City Staff did not have information regarding whether
the application qualified for approval under the City’s Zoning Code. He added, at the time, City
Staff informed the applicant that there were issues related to the Zoning Code, and the applicant
decided not to apply for a license. He noted it is City Staff’s believe that the applicant would have
applied for a tobacco license, which would probably have been approved, if the information had
been given to her.
Mayor Elliott requested that the Resolution be added to tonight’s Regular Session Agenda, as it
sounds like this was an error on the part of the City.
Councilmember Ryan stated this is an issue of regulatory fairness. He asked whether the tobacco
license is an appropriate use based on the Zoning Code where the business is located. He asked
whether the City Council has discretion to approve or deny the application.
City Attorney Troy Gilchrist confirmed this, adding the Zoning Code does not specifically identify
hookah as a prohibited use. He added the proposed Resolution acknowledges that it should not be
detrimental to this business that the Zoning issue was not previously addressed. He noted a license
can be granted, and the City Council does not have much discretion, if an application is submitted
for a permitted use.
Councilmember Ryan asked whether the current local Ordinances and State laws pertaining to
tobacco use, including 21-year old requirement to purchase tobacco, would apply to people who
use the hookah, if a license were to be granted to this applicant. Mr. Gilchrist confirmed that all
tobacco laws and ordinances related to the sale and use of tobacco would apply, regardless of when
the license was issued.
Councilmember Ryan asked whether hookah use would only be allowed outdoors, in compliance
with the Minnesota Indoor Clean Air Act. Mr. Gilchrist confirmed this. He added there are some
efforts on the part of the applicant to find a way around those requirements to have private
samplings, but indoor smoking is prohibited by State law. He noted the Resolution and application
would not provide exemption from any Codes or regulations.
Mayor Elliott requested that this agenda item be added to the Regular Session Agenda under Item
10a.
11/23/20 -3- DRAFT
Mayor Elliott requested that the next Work Session Item to be addressed would be the Tobacco
Ordinance, to stay on topic.
TOBACCO ORDINANCE UPDATE
Mr. Boganey stated, in June 8, 2020, the City Council received a request from the Association of
Nonsmokers – Minnesota for consideration of a City Ordinance restricting the sale of flavored
tobacco products, including menthol tobacco, to adult-only shops, as well as prohibiting the
redemption of tobacco coupons and price discounts and setting a minimum price for cigarettes and
chewing tobacco.
Mr. Boganey stated Emily Anderson, representing Association of Nonsmokers – Minnesota, was
present to give a presentation and provide additional information.

Elliott at 6:45 p.m. The meeting was conducted via Webex.
ROLL CALL
Mayor Mike Elliott and Councilmembers Marquita Butler, April Graves, Kris Lawrence-

Reggie Edwards, City Planner Ginny McIntosh, Fire Chief Todd Berg, City Clerk Barb Suciu, and
City Attorney Troy Gilchrist.
Mayor Mike Elliott opened the meeting for the purpose of Informal Open Forum.
Melissa Carey thanked the Councilmembers for considering the formation of a Civilian Review
Board in Brooklyn Center. She added a similar review board was set up in St. Paul, which was
audited by the University of Minnesota’s Restorative Justice and Peacemaking Department. She
noted she can provide a detailed report of that audit for the City Council.
Ms. Carey stated a recommendation for St. Paul’s Review Board was to remove Police Officers
from the Committee, as there were voting discrepancies, and the Board should be reserved for
civilians. She added the Chief of Police ultimately makes all the decisions, and the community’s
role is to provide recommendations.
Simone Chambliss asked if she is on tonight's agenda. Mayor Elliott confirmed that Ms.
Chambliss’ request for a tobacco license will be reviewed under Agenda Item 10a.

7a. COVID-19 IMPACT ON HENNEPIN COUNTY AND BROOKLYN
CENTER
Deputy City Manager Reggie Edwards presented a review of the impacts of Covid-19 on residents
of Hennepin County and Brooklyn Center. Every effort is being made to assist and support
residents, as well as track information and data related to the virus. Fire Chief Todd Berg has been
the City’s Emergency Manager and point person in this effort. Information has been gathered that
11/23/20 -5- DRAFT
provides a better assessment regarding management strategies, and data that compares impacts on
the County and City to determine which responses, strategies and actions are most effective.
Dave Johnson, Program Manager with Hennepin County Department of Health’s Covid-19
Epidemiology Surveillance and Investigation Division, gave a presentation on the impact of
Covid-19, with over 1,000 new cases every day in Hennepin County, as well as an increase in
hospitalizations and deaths. He added he has been in close contact with Chief Berg for many
months.
Mr. Johnson stated Covid cases are rising outside the metro area at a faster rate than within the
metro area, but the risk extends across the entire state, including all parts of Hennepin County.
Brooklyn Center has experienced infection rates that are 1-2.5 times higher than the rest of
Hennepin County. He added there are many factors that could contribute to the high rate of
infection in Brooklyn Center, including a high percentage of the population between the ages of
20-44 years. Other factors include longstanding health inequities; crowded housing conditions
and lack of housing; unemployment and social isolation, and food insecurity.
Mr. Johnson stated experts continue to stress the importance of physical distancing, wearing masks
and washing hands. He added Hennepin County Department of Health has resources that are
available regarding the virus, community testing, and other information and data. The County’s
Take Care Hennepin campaign emphasizes care prevention methods, featuring real people in
Hennepin County in ads that will run on various platforms throughout the community, and
prioritizes outreach and education. The campaign will be translated into multiple languages.
Community engagement is a strong component of the campaign.
Ivan Lui, representing Brooklyn Bridge Alliance for Youth, stated resident surveys that were
conducted earlier in the pandemic, in cooperation with Brooklyn Park, to get community feedback
and comments on what resources are needed. Federal CARES funding has been used to start a
mobile public health project, bringing resources to apartment complexes and demographic groups
that have been affected by Covid.
Mr. Lui stated many residents are unable to implement the recommended guidelines, because they
don’t have the resources to stay home or purchase the needed equipment, or isolate from others
who may be sick. Residents also tend to get their information from people they trust and are not
always up to speed on the most current Covid-19 guidelines. Residents want to be empathized,
reassured and supported.
Fire Chief Todd Berg stated the City of Brooklyn Center has implemented plans and programs to
help fight Covid-19 in the community. He added the State of Minnesota introduced a phone app,
“Covid Aware MN” providing social distancing reminders and notifications. He noted the app
will not take the place of contract tracing.
Mayor Elliott stated this is all good information, but there are still a lot of questions. He stressed
the importance of rising to the challenge to help prevent the spread of Covid in the community.
11/23/20 -6- DRAFT
Councilmember Graves thanked Chief Berg for the information on the new phone app. She added
the app uses Bluetooth technology to identify someone near you who has tested positive for Covid,
and it is a completely voluntary service.
Councilmember Graves stated food distribution partnerships with the schools have been
successful. She added residents communicate better with someone they know and trust. She asked
whether City Staff will be able to utilize those connections more intentionally and consistently.
Dr. Edwards confirmed this, adding City Staff plans to utilize connections within the community
to share information and messages about Covid.
Mr. Boganey stated City Staff will provide for the City Council a list of various community
partners that have been providing information, support and resources for residents. He urged the
City Council to reach out to City Staff if they are aware of a respected leader or organization that
the City should be partnering with.
Mayor Elliott asked whether the PowerPoint presentation is available online. Dr. Edwards agreed
to provide that for the City Council.
Mayor Elliott thanked Mr. Johnson for the work he has been doing at the County level. He
requested clarification regarding the rates of infection in Brooklyn Center, that Mr. Johnson
indicated are 1.5-2 times higher than the rest of the County. Mr. Johnson confirmed this, showing
infection rate comparisons.
Mayor Elliott asked when the County started to gather City level data on Covid. Mr. Johnson
stated data collected starting in April 2020.
Mayor Elliott asked where the data comes from. Mr. Johnson stated the data is from the Minnesota
Department of Health.
Mayor Elliott asked whether there is data on mortality rates. Mr. Johnson stated mortality rates
were not included in his presentation but that data is shown on the racial disparities slide.
Mayor Elliott stated Brooklyn Center has higher rates of infection because Covid
disproportionately affects communities with people of color. He added some indicators are
housing and food security. Mr. Johnson confirmed this, adding differences in opportunities for
health care and wellness, as well as social conditions, are driving disparities.
Mayor Elliott asked Mr. Johnson to summarize why Brooklyn Center is seeing an increased rate
of infection.
Mr. Johnson stated it is not known what is exactly driving the rate in real time, as certain behaviors
are still being studied and reviewed. He added, for instance, there may be differences in masking
behavior, and social distancing. He noted it is believed that the disproportionate number of cases
in Brooklyn Center is partly due to the demographics of the community, with a younger, more
diverse population and residents who are more at risk of disease than the County as a whole.
11/23/20 -7- DRAFT
Mayor Elliott asked whether the County Department of Health works directly with community
organizations in Brooklyn Center, to help find connections and important messengers to reach
people.
Mr. Johnson confirmed this, but added that is not his particular area of expertise. He added a full
explanation would have to be provided by County staff who do that type of work. He added the
County currently working with 26 messengers across the County, 11 of which are working in
northwest Hennepin County, which includes Brooklyn Center. He noted the County is partnering
with Brooklyn Bridge Alliance on mobile testing and mobile health units.
Mayor Elliott asked whether mitigation is the primary strategy, along with outreach and the “Take
Care” campaign.
Mr. Johnson stated County staff engage in significant work in case investigations, which involves
reaching out to individuals and their contacts regarding quarantine efforts; doing community
testing and preparing vaccinations when they are available. He noted it is a multi-faceted approach
that utilizes a number of different strategies.
Councilmember Graves asked whether there are any updates about the new testing site that will be
located in the former Target building. Mr. Johnson stated he does not have any information about
that.
Mr. Edwards stated North Memorial Health is implementing the testing site and the former Target
building. He added Community Development Director Meg Beekman is the point person for
planning and implementation.
Councilmember Graves asked whether the County is behind in contact tracing efforts. She added
she works at the City of Minneapolis, and they are behind in their efforts as well. Mr. Johnson
confirmed this, as the increased number of cases has outstripped staff’s capacity to be able to reach
everyone in a timely manner.
Councilmember Graves requested clarification regarding hospital bed capacity in the community.
Mr. Johnson stated it is generally described as being at a critical level right now. He added the
County is asking people to work hard to maintain social distancing, wear masks, and protect health
care workers.
Fire Chief Berg stated, with regard to the testing site at the Target building, the contractor and
North Memorial are hoping to have the testing site up and running within one week, if not sooner.
He added it will be a nasal swab facility.
Mayor Elliott asked whether the rates of vaccination will be higher in Brooklyn Center because of
the high rates of infection. Mr. Johnson stated he is unsure, but County staff are actively working
on vaccination planning and preparation, which is also not his area of expertise. He noted he could
get back to the City Council with a more detailed answer. Mayor Elliott confirmed he would like
to receive that information.
11/23/20 -8- DRAFT
Councilmember Graves stated, in her role at Minneapolis Department of Health, she works with
other staff to train community partners and leaders to hold conversations about the vaccine, and
get feedback about how it should be rolled out. She added, especially in Brooklyn Center, which
does not have a Health Department, it will be imperative to do community outreach, and help
community members understand the safety aspects of the vaccine, as well as historical implications
of why some people are wary of vaccinations. She noted she hopes the County can engage in that
type of community outreach.
Mr. Johnson thanked Councilmember Graves for that suggestion, as vaccine communication will
be a big part of what lies ahead. He stressed the importance of remaining attentive to these specific
types of concerns and connecting with trusted messengers in leading those conversations. He
agreed to connect with the County’s head of outreach and communications, at the Mayor’s request,
to see if there are opportunities for more follow-up.
Mayor Elliott asked how the City of Brooklyn Center compares to the rest of the County. He asked
if there is a ranking, and where Brooklyn Center falls.
Mr. Johnson stated he does not have that specific data, but Brooklyn Center has been in the top 5
or 10 cities in Hennepin County during periods of increased infection rates. He added other
counties now have rates that are much higher than Hennepin County in general, and Brooklyn
Center in particular. He noted that it is not so much a matter of whether a specific area is at risk,
but understanding that the risk is all around us, and people need to continue to think about the
choices they make when interacting with others, and take that very seriously.
Councilmember Ryan stated the age group showing increased rates of infection are people who go
to work every day, using public transportation, working in certain job categories. He stressed the
importance of the universal use of masks and social distancing, and to keep sending that message,
that everyone has to be vigilant and responsible.
Councilmember Graves stated the messages coming from government entities can often be dry
and boring, and sometimes catchy messages can get people to pay attention. She added that can
be difficult to accept as it goes against the normal way of getting information out, but it would be
a good idea to think of better, more creative and innovative ways to communicate precautions.
Mayor Elliott agreed, stating it is important to craft the message to ensure that it is fitting for the
audience.
Mayor Elliott thanked the presenters this evening for their presentation and for the hard work they
are doing on behalf of the community. He encouraged everyone to keep working, getting the word
out, dealing with risks associated with Covid-19 and its long-term consequences that have yet to
be seen, in the community and throughout the world.
7b. BROOKLYN CENTER BCTC PUBLIC ART INITIATIVE
11/23/20 -9- DRAFT
Dr. Edwards stated City Staff have been working on a public art initiative at the Transit Hub that
started prior to the pandemic and focused on opportunities to provide art or develop art projects on
an ongoing basis. After the pandemic started, City Staff considered how to continue to engage
and involve the community, and move forward with public art. One idea included messaging
around Covid for public transit users, including related concepts like social distancing and wearing
masks. Two local artists have been engaged to work on this public art effort, which will culminate
in art project displays at the transit hub.
Chloe Cotherman, project coordinator, stated she is an art teacher in the Brooklyn Center Middle
School and High School STEAM program. She added the opportunity came up to collaborate with
the City and Metro Transit to lead a public art initiative. She noted she appreciates that art is being
considered for a creative solution for place-making, community building, and community
engagement.
Ms. Cotherman recognized other project leaders: Dr. Reggie Edwards, Dr. Angel Smith, Armando
Oster, and Mark Granlund, Metro Transit Public Art Coordinator.
Ms. Cotherman stated Brooklyn Center has an ongoing community beautification and public art
initiative, but this unique challenge addresses community concerns related to health and safety.
She added the Covid-related art project will encourage residents to take ownership and pride in
their diverse and thriving community. She noted community members were encouraged to submit
artwork that would be displayed on monitors in the transit center, depicting how residents are
handling the pandemic, and how they address it in their families and communities. She presented
images of artwork submitted by students.
Ms. Cotherman stated it is intended that the transit hub art initiative will be an ongoing project,
with no specific deadline. She added an important aspect of the project is the hiring of artists
teachers, who were selected based on submitted artwork and an interview process. She noted
artists were chosen based on their connection to the community, who are interested in community
engagement, and willing to take that on as part of the commission; engage in art with residents,
and provide details of their project.
Ms. Cotherman stated the first artist is Anika Schneider, who put together over 100 mask kits for
creating a DIY face mask design. Ms. Schneider held two online workshops on pattern-making
and mask-wearing as a form of personal expression. She created an online forum with tutorials to
show how her art was developed.
Ms. Cotherman stated Kao Lee Thao, another local artist, made and distributed over 100 art kits
with wooden silhouette cutouts for people to paint and decorate. She held two online workshops
and a painting workshop, while having conversations with the participants. She created an online
forum to share her developing public art piece, with input from community members.
Ms. Cotherman stated Kao Lee Thao’s art kits were distributed at the community center front desk,
through Rec on The Go, middle school and high school teachers, and delivered to residents’ homes.
There was a concerted effort to ensure that all community groups were reached within Brooklyn
11/23/20 -10- DRAFT
Center, including indigenous families, essential workers, and residents of the Sanctuary assisted
living center.
Ms. Cotherman introduced artist Annika Schneider, a graduate of MCAD and a narrative painter,
has been inspired by people’s face masks as an indicator of individual identity, a sense of cultural
identity, and a show of care and compassion for themselves and others. Ms. Schneider was
inspired by the idea of the transit hub being an access point for many people from different cultures,
and some of her art is based on the MAC transit route.
Ms. Cotherman stated Kao Lee Thao is also a local artist, who creates life-size or bigger painted
metal silhouettes. She engaged in community outreach, asking for words and stories to describe
the lives of Brooklyn Center’s residents. Both artist’s works will be placed around the exterior of
the building, telling distinct, unique community-based stories. It is hoped that the artworks will
be installed at BCTC by the end of June 2021.
Ms. Cotherman stated approximately 20 submissions have been received for the BC Art Showcase,
and the project leaders will continue to reach out to local artists, teachers, and students.
Councilmember Graves stated she likes the initiative and the showcase. She asked whether artists
could submit artwork that could be written, video or audio, and not just visual art. She added she
has thought about the possibility of a video contest, with artists making TikTok videos with ideas
and messaging.
Ms. Cotherman stated she loves that idea, although the format will need to be without sound. She
added it can definitely be written, or video or audio, which is a great way to make it more inclusive
of other art forms.
Councilmember Graves asked whether there was participation in the workshops with the local
artists. Ms. Cotherman stated there was a decent level of engagement, although the artists would
have liked to have more. She added it is a difficult time during the pandemic to get people to
attend workshops. She noted other here are many different opportunities for involvement that can
be measured.
Councilmember Graves agreed, but added it is nice to have an actual estimate of participation and
engagement. She asked, from a City Staff perspective, whether it could become an issue to share
sites and links on the City’s website for videos or workshop links that are not within the City’s
domain.
Mr. Edwards stated the artists have entered into contracts with the City to use their work and
videos.
Councilmember Graves asked about the artists’ backgrounds, and whether they have connections
to Brooklyn Center.
Ms. Cotherman stated Kao Lee lives in Northeast Minneapolis but has family in Brooklyn Center.
She added she has lived in many different metro area cities. She noted Ms. Schneider lives in
11/23/20 -11- DRAFT
North Minneapolis and wants to work with communities that are interested in telling their stories
through art. She is also interested in representing diverse stories through her art.
Ms. Schneider stated she is an active member of the metro area community, and the art community
in particular.
Councilmember Graves thanked Ms. Cotherman for her presentation, and for the work she is
doing. She added it may not feel tangible, but the reality is that it is very powerful, and who knows
what else might unfold.
Mayor Elliott thanked Ms. Cotherman for her presentation.
8. PUBLIC HEARINGS
-None.
9. PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS
9a. RESOLUTION NO. 2020-114 REQUESTING APPROVAL OF THE
PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT FOR MOUND CEMETERY SECOND
ADDITION (3515 69TH AVENUE NORTH AND COUNTY IDENTIFIED AS 6705
BEARD AVENUE NORTH)
City Planner Ginny McIntosh reviewed a request for preliminary and final plat approval for Mound
Cemetery 2nd Addition, or the southern end of the cemetery known as Freeway Park. The applicant
is Public Works Director Doran Cote on behalf of the City of Brooklyn Center. A public hearing
notice was published in the newspaper before the Planning Commission meeting, and notices sent
to nearby properties.
Ms. McIntosh stated a 75-year lease was approved between Mound Cemetery Association and
Brooklyn Center for the southernmost 4 acres, intended for park use. The lease was recorded and
set to expire in 2044. In December 2013, the Cemetery Association approached the City to request
that the lease be vacated and transitioned back to the cemetery due to an increased interest in
natural burial as well as different types of burial requirements based on cultural customs, including
an east-west burial configuration. The Association agreed to dedicate 1 acre of land for park use,
and in January 2020, the City Council approved a Resolution authorizing execution of a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
Ms. McIntosh stated the Planning Commission held a public hearing on November 12, 2020 with
questions related to existing improvements outside of the 1-acre parcel, including a baseball field
and basketball court, as well as questions about the community engagement process.
Ms. McIntosh stated the Planning Commission recommended approval of Planning Commission
application 2020-009 for preliminary and final plat approval of Mound Cemetery Second Addition
located at 3515 69th Avenue North.
11/23/20 -12- DRAFT
Councilmember Graves asked about the different types of burial requirements, including the east-
west configuration.
Michael Howe, Mound Cemetery Association, stated he is the President of the Association Board.
He added the motivation has been the increased need for plots, in consideration of meeting the
needs of the community. He noted Muslim burials have an east-west orientation, so it has been
necessary to consider ways to reframe the plotting of the cemetery to allow for that as it represents
a change in the space we need to provide services to the communities we serve.
Councilmember Graves stated Mound Cemetery presumably serves the people of the Brooklyn
Center community, and the master plan for Freeway Park should incorporate ways to connect with
and include aspects of the adjacent cemetery. She added this would include leveraging the
geographic and cultural connections within the City.
Mr. Howe agreed, adding he spoke with Ms. Cotherman about ways to bring community public
art into the cemetery to make those types of connections. He added the cemetery works with a
mosque in Brooklyn Park, among other mosques. He noted the cemetery is an undiscovered
community asset, and the Association Board appreciates the City’s willingness to take on the
challenges of designing a smaller park and amenities.
Mayor Elliott asked whether the name of the cemetery is reflective of Native American burial
mounds in the area. Mr. Howe stated the cemetery is over 150 years old, and it was named Mound
Cemetery because of the Native American burial mounds located across the road in the park. He
added the Cemetery Association is proud of the cemetery’s rich heritage and history.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked for the phone number of the cemetery, and whether
there are any vacancies. Mr. Howe stated there is information about the cemetery, including
contact information, on the Mound Cemetery website. He added the cemetery is a great example
of a small-town cemetery within a big city, with an emphasis on community and family.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated her great, great, great grandmother was 100% Native
American. She added she is proud of that fact, although her grandfather was not as supportive, as
he was ashamed of the half-breed situation. She noted she completely supports Native American
culture. She thanked Mr. Howe for all he is doing.
Councilmember Graves stated she knows Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson was not trying to
be hurtful or politically incorrect but she found a few of the comments were a little abrasive and
triggering for her. She added she knows and loves Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson, but she
could have been a little more graceful with her comments.
Councilmember Graves stated Mr. Howe mentioned the rich history and heritage of the cemetery.
She asked whether there are Native American burial mounds in the cemetery, and if so, whether
there has been consideration of formal acknowledgement for preserving and protecting sacred
land.
11/23/20 -13- DRAFT
Councilmember Graves stated her previous comments were made in love for her fellow
Councilmember, but she was extremely put off by her fellow Councilmember’s insensitive
statements.
Mr. Howe stated he appreciates and understands Councilmember Grave’s comments. He added
end of life issues are always emotional and personal. He added the Native American burial mounds
are located across the street near the lake, and not within the cemetery. He noted nothing has been
found within the cemetery over its 150-year history.
Councilmember Graves asked City Staff the same question, whether there has been consideration
of preservation of sacred land. Mr. Boganey stated, to the best of his knowledge, the City has not
done any research with respect to burial mounds in City-owned parkland, but it sounds like that
should be done. He added he will provide follow-up information for the City Council.
Mayor Elliott stated representatives of the Brooklyns Historical Society have indicated that burial
mounds were destroyed to make way for trails in the park across from the cemetery. He added, as
part of the City’s research, it would be helpful to find information about that claim. Mr. Boganey
agreed. Mr. Howe requested that the City reach out if the cemetery can be of any assistance.
Councilmember Graves moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO.
2020-114 approving Planning Commission Application No. 2020-009 for Preliminary and Final
Plat Approval for Mound Cemetery Second Addition (3515 69th Avenue North and County
Identified as 6705 Beard Avenue North).
Motion passed unanimously.
10. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS
10a. RESOLUTION NO. 2020-115 APPROVING A TOBACCO APPLICATION
FOR JAMBO AFRICA RESTAURANT
Mr. Boganey reviewed a proposed Resolution that would allow Jambo Africa Restaurant to submit
a tobacco license application. He added this issue was discussed at the Study Session earlier this
evening, and the City Council agreed to move it to the Regular Agenda for approval. He noted the
application would allow hookah use on the outdoor patio at Jambo Africa Restaurant and would
be limited to outdoor spaces due to the Minnesota Indoor Clean Air Act.
Mr. Boganey stated this application is being considered despite the City’s cap on tobacco licenses
due to issues related to the applicant’s original 2018 license application.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated the City Ordinance was amended in 2014 to not allow
hookah.
Mr. Boganey stated the current Ordinance does not disallow the use of hookah. He requested
clarification from the City Attorney.
11/23/20 -14- DRAFT
Mr. Gilchrist stated he is not aware of hookah being specifically mentioned anywhere in the Code.
He added there may have been a temporary moratorium in 2014 which did not result in a permanent
restriction.
Mayor Elliott asked City Staff to determine whether there is any record from 2014 to indicate that
a moratorium was placed on hookah licenses.
Mr. Gilchrist agreed to do a quick search for hookah.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated she is absolutely sure that in November 2014, former
Mayor Willson agreed that there should be a moratorium on hookah lounges.
Mr. Boganey stated a local restaurant, Jammin Wings, currently has a tobacco license and they
have an outdoor hookah facility. He added if current Ordinance does not disallow hookah use, it
would not be possible to impose such a restriction now.
Mr. Gilchrist agreed. He added City Planner McIntosh reviewed City records and indicated there
was a reference to a 90-day moratorium on hookah use that occurred some time ago. He added
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson’s memory is correct, but there is nothing in the current City
Code that restricts hookah use. He noted since the use is allowed, there is no basis to deny the
request.
Councilmember Ryan stated this Resolution will resolve an issue of regulatory fairness, as an
oversight occurred that was never addressed. He added the impacts of tobacco use are well-
documented and are of concern to policy makers who turn their minds to health and safety issues.
He noted it would be beneficial to revisit this issue, especially since hookah is a more concentrated
use of tobacco products and could potentially have a greater health impact.
Councilmember Butler stated she agrees with Councilmember Ryan’s statements. She added the
approval of this license goes against the City Council’s expressed values related to the health and
wellness of the City’s residents. She noted, however, this Resolution will address an error in the
way the license request was originally handled, and she supports allowing the application.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson expressed her disappointment as she thought a ban on
hookah was placed in 2014. She added she does not want hookah lounges in Brooklyn Center and
she cannot support this Resolution. She noted this issue should be reviewed and resolved at a
Work Session.
Councilmember Graves stated she agrees it is important to put limitations on tobacco use, and the
City has already taken measures towards that end, including T-21 and moving toward restricting
sales of flavored tobacco and e-cigarettes to adult-only stores. She added she knows Simone well,
and she is a long-time local business owner. She noted there is a lot to be said about the way
hookah resonates for specific community members, and it is the City’s mistake that this issue was
not resolved for Ms. Chambliss in 2018. She expressed her support of giving Ms. Chambliss the
opportunity to apply for the tobacco license and meet the necessary requirements.
11/23/20 -15- DRAFT
Councilmember Graves moved and Councilmember Elliott seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO.
2020-115 approving a tobacco license application for Jambo Africa Restaurant.
Discussion during the motion:
Mr. Gilchrist stated, for purposes of clarification, the Resolution will approve issuance of a license
if the owner submits an application and qualifies for the license. He added this issue will not be
reviewed again by the City Council at a future meeting.
Councilmember Ryan stated the City Council must abide by the Ordinance as written, during the
fraught time in which the Ordinance has application. He added he votes to support this Resolution
with regret because he does not support hookah lounges. He noted he feels the City Council is
duty-bound to approve the application on the basis of regulatory fairness.
Mayor Elliott stated he associates himself with the previous gentleman’s comments.
Motion passed 4-1 (Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson voted nay).
11. COUNCIL REPORT
Councilmember Graves stated the Met Council’s Land Use Advisory Committee has come up with
an Economic Values Atlas, based on a model that is being used in Portland, Oregon, to assess
development opportunities and options for economic development. She added the Atlas was
presented to the Livable Communities Board, and she wanted to bring it to the attention of the City
Council and City Staff.
Mr. Boganey agreed to pass the information along to Community Development Director Meg
Beekman. He added she serves on the Livable Communities Board.
12. ADJOURNMENT
Councilmember Graves moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded adjournment of the City
Council meeting at 9:41 p.m.

Graves, Kris Lawrence-Anderson, and Dan Ryan. Also present were City Manager Curt Boganey,
Deputy City Manager Reggie Edwards, City Clerk Barb Suciu, and City Attorney Troy Gilchrist.
TOBACCO ORDINANCE FOLLOW UP
City Manager Curt Boganey stated, at a Work Session in June 2020, the City Council reviewed a
presentation regarding potential policy changes related to the Tobacco Ordinance. He added City
Staff is seeking direction regarding adoption of the following proposed regulations: 1) restriction
of sale of tobacco-flavored products to adult-only shops; and restrictions on the redemption of
coupons and price discounts as well as setting minimum prices for standardized tobacco products.
Councilmember/Commissioner Graves stated she supports the changes that have already been
made but she is not convinced that taking further action now is the best move for the City and its
residents. She noted she is not interested in adding more regulations right now.
Councilmember/Commissioner Ryan stated he has talked with Councilmember/Commissioner
Graves about this issue, and generally he would be in favor of the proposed new regulations. He
added, however, the community is struggling with the pandemic and related stress and hardship.
A fair percentage of the City’s population uses tobacco or struggles with tobacco addiction, and
tobacco is perceived by them to be a stress reducer. He noted the imposition of new restrictions
will weigh heavily upon people who are already struggling to meet basic needs.
Councilmember/Commissioner Ryan stated he would support deferring this discussion and
revisiting the issue when the pandemic is over. He added he struggles with whether this is a wise
decision or not. He requested feedback and comments from his colleagues on the City Council.
Mayor/President Elliott stated he is curious about the demographic impact that these types of
regulations would have on communities of color, especially the black community. He added, to
Councilmember/Commissioner Ryan’s point, the pandemic has greatly affected the community,
11/23/20 -2- DRAFT
and the impact of this policy, either positive or negative, is unknown. He noted he is not ready to
toss this out right now, but more information is needed.
Councilmember/Commissioner Butler agreed, adding she is not ready to vote for the policy at this
time. She expressed frustration that this topic is being presented at the same meeting at which the
submission of a tobacco license application was approved. She agreed she would like to have
more information before the proposed policy goes on a Regular Session agenda for consideration.
Councilmember/Commissioner Ryan stated there is no one who is more anti-tobacco than he is,
but this is a fraught time. He added, in a conversation earlier in the summer, he exhibited a lack
of sensitivity with bad results, and he wants to be sensitive of the needs and feelings of those who
are really struggling right now. He noted the proposed policy can be revisited when the pandemic
is over, and the City Council can put more focus and attention on supporting public health.
Councilmember/Commissioner Graves stated she really likes the way Councilmember/
Commissioner Ryan put that last comment together.
Councilmember/Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson stated she has no comment at this point.
Mayor/President Elliott stated Emily Anderson, a representative of Association of Nonsmokers-
Minnesota, joined tonight’s meeting for this discussion. He requested feedback and comments
from Ms. Anderson.
Ms. Anderson stated she addressed the City Council on this issue at a Work Session in June 2020.
She added these policies seem unfair to communities of color because of high use rates, but the
tobacco industry is responsible for this disparity, with advertising and marketing of addictive
products directed at communities of color. She noted she understands that these types of public
health policies can seem unfair or unjust, especially during the current pandemic.
Councilmember/Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson thanked Ms. Anderson and expressed her
appreciation for her hard work. She added her mother is at home, on oxygen because she has been
a smoker for over 60 years. She noted this is a severe problem, and she supports whatever the City
Council can do to decrease tobacco usage in the City.
Mayor/President Elliott stated it is a difficult situation, balancing people’s rights to access and
choice, but also address the health concerns of the community. He added the City Council has
taken some steps in the past, and there is more work to be done.
Councilmember/Commissioner Graves stated she appreciates the Mayor/President’s comments.
She added she understands the difficulty because she is a smoker, and she has struggled with it for
years. She noted she would support another conversation about the proposed policy. She stressed
the importance of being aware and compassionate when moving forward with the proposed policy.
CIVILIAN REVIEW BOARD
Consider Extension of Meeting
11/23/20 -3- DRAFT
Mayor/President Elliott requested a motion to extend the meeting past 10:00 p.m.
Councilmember/Commissioner Ryan suggested this issue could be addressed at the City Council’s
next Work Session due to the late hour, to ensure sufficient time and attention.
Councilmember/Commissioner Ryan moved to adjourn the meeting.
Mayor/President Elliott called for a second to the motion.
Councilmember/Commissioner Graves stated she would be willing to extend the meeting 20-30
minutes past 10:00 p.m. due to the importance of this discussion.
Councilmember/Commissioner Butler stated she does not generally like going past 10:00 p.m., but
she would be willing to go another 20-30 minutes. She added, however, she does not believe it
will be possible to address this topic if time is limited. She noted there are many people who are
still on the meeting who wish to address this issue.
The motion failed for lack of a second.
Police Chief Tim Gannon stated the discussion will take a minimum of one hour, as the
presentation will be 30 minutes and the ensuing discussion is expected to last 30-45 minutes.
Councilmember/Commissioner Graves stated she is ready to begin the discussion at tonight’s
meeting.
A community member stated this is a very important conversation, and, as a community member,
she requested that the discussion be moved to a time when it can be fully addressed. She added
there are many community members who want to comment on this issue.
Councilmember/Commissioner Graves stated there are two people who have been on the meeting
for longer than the community member, and they have expressed an interest in continuing the
discussion. She added she was trying to find a balance.
Mayor/President Elliott suggested that the City Council should schedule a Work Session focused
on this issue. He added, when the City Council has a long Regular Session meeting and comes
back to Work Session items, all their energy is spent.
There was a majority Consensus of the City Council to schedule a Work Session to discuss the
Citizen Review Board on Monday, November 30, 2020 at 6:00 p.m.
ADJOURNMENT
Councilmember/Commissioner Ryan moved and Councilmember/Commissioner Graves
seconded adjournment of the City Council/Economic Development Authority Work Session at
10:13 p.m.
11/23/20 -4- DRAFT

B ackground:
The Br ookly n Center Police D epar tment, along with local partners, have iden,fied an influx in the number of
young people who are r unning away in and around the region – par,cularly female-iden,fied youth and
boys and y oung men of color. I n H ennepin C ounty, y outh of color are dis propor,onately repres ented in all
county s ystems and M innesota is ranked one of the highest s tates for minority dis pari,es . Running away
can be due to ins tability, abus e or neglect in the home and, for s ome y outh, running away becomes a
pa:ern of ris ky behavior us ed as a coping mechanis m for thes e or other is s ues. By prov iding meaningful,

risk of mental and phys ical health implica,ons such as teen pregnancy, s ubs tance abus e, truancy,
homelessnes s , sexual exploita,on or traffick ing, gang involv ement, criminal ac,vity and ev en s uicide. The
abuse rate for female runaw ay y outh is 24.7 %, compared to 7.5 % of non-runaw ay youth. By intervening
early - before, or immediately a;er a y outh leav es home - we can reduce the risk of tr auma,c abus e or
other long-ter m cons equences . Police are o;en the firs t point of contact for a runaway youth, but due to
the demands of their r ole, police s imply do not have the capacity to addr es s the complex needs of the youth

C H A R T E R E D
TO: City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota
FROM: Jenny Boulton, Kennedy & Graven, Chartered
DATE: November 19, 2020
RE: Conduit Revenue Bonds for The Crest Apartments Project
Aeon (or another entity formed by Aeon, the “Borrower”) has requested that the City of
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota (“Brooklyn Center”) issue up to $17,000,000 of tax-exempt, conduit
Housing Revenue Bonds in one or more series in 2021 (the “Bonds”) to finance the acquisition and
rehabilitation of The Crest Apartments, an existing 122-unit rental housing facility located at 6221
Shingle Creek Parkway in Brooklyn Center and the construction of an approximately 47-unit
building on the same property (collectively, the “Project Facilities”).
Conduit revenue bonds give the borrower access to tax exempt financing so the borrower
realizes lower interest costs and the City achieves a public purpose, in this case the preservation and
rehabilitation of existing affordable housing units.
If authorized by the City Council, the Bonds will be issued as conduit revenue bonds
secured solely by the revenues derived from a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) to be
executed by Brooklyn Center and the Borrower and from other security provided by the Borrower.
The lender or bondholders provide the funds for the loan, either directly or through a trustee, and
Brooklyn Center assigns its rights and obligations under the Loan Agreement to the lender or the
trustee. No money actually flows through Brooklyn Center. No money or assets of Brooklyn
Center would ever be pledged or available to pay the Bonds.
The Bonds will not constitute general or moral obligations of Brooklyn Center and will not
be secured by or payable from any property or assets of Brooklyn Center and will not be secured by
any taxing power of Brooklyn Center. The Bonds will not affect any debt limitation imposed on
Brooklyn Center and the issuance of the Bonds will not have any adverse impact on the credit rating
of Brooklyn Center, even in the event that Borrower encounters financial difficulties with respect to
the Project Facilities to be financed with the proceeds of the Bonds.
The Bonds are proposed to be issued as tax-exempt obligations, the interest on which is
excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. However, because the Project
Facilities will be owned by a for-profit owner, the Bonds cannot be designated as “qualified tax-
exempt obligations” for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”) which relates to a deduction available to banks and other financial
institutions (sometimes referred to as “bank-qualified bonds”). Because this type of Bonds is not
eligible for designation as bank-qualified bonds, the Bonds will not count against Brooklyn Center’s
$10,000,000 limit in 2021 on its ability to designate its own bonds, if any, as bank qualified bonds
and issuing the Bonds in 2021 will have no impact on Brooklyn Center’s ability to issue bank-
qualified bonds in future years.

Because of the for-profit ownership of the Project Facilities, the Bonds will need an
allocation of bonding authority from the State. The amount of tax-exempt bonds for this purpose is
limited by federal tax-exempt bond law and that limit has not been sufficient for the amount of
projects seeking tax exempt bonds in Minnesota. However, the Project Facilities fall into the
highest ranked category so there is a good chance the financing will be able to move forward in
2021. Kennedy and Graven, as bond counsel, will prepare all of the application documents.
In order to proceed, Brooklyn Center would need to give preliminary approval in December.
This would not initially require a public hearing, instead the hearing would be held in 2021 after the
allocation of bonding authority has been received. Before issuing the Bonds, Brooklyn Center will
need to hold a public hearing, adopt a resolution authorizing the issuance of the Bonds, and execute
various related documents, including the Bonds and the Loan Agreement. Kennedy and Graven, as
bond counsel, will provide forms of resolutions and all the necessary documents.
The Borrower will be required to pay all the expenses of Brooklyn Center paid or incurred
with respect to the Bonds and will be required to indemnify Brooklyn Center for any potential
liability incurred by Brooklyn Center with respect to the Bonds, the Project Facilities, and granting
necessary approvals.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center,
Minnesota (the “City”), as follows:
BR291-409-687489.v2 2
Section 1. Preliminary Findings. Based on representations made by the Borrower to the City to
date, the City Council of the City hereby makes the following preliminary findings, determinations, and
declarations:
(a) The Project consists of the acquisition, rehabilitation, construction and equipping of a
multifamily rental housing development designed and intended to be used for rental occupancy.
(b) The proceeds of the Bonds will be loaned to the Borrower and the proceeds of the loan
will be applied to: (i) the acquisition, rehabilitation, construction, and equipping of the Project; (ii) the
funding of one or more reserve funds to secure the timely payment of the Bonds; and (iii) the payment of
the costs of issuing the Bonds. The City will enter into a loan agreement (or other revenue agreement)
with the Borrower requiring loan repayments from the Borrower in amounts sufficient to repay the loan
when due and requiring the Borrower to pay all costs of maintaining and insuring the Project, including
taxes thereon.
(c) In preliminarily authorizing the issuance of the Bonds and the financing of the
acquisition, rehabilitation, construction, and equipping of the Project and related costs, the City’s purpose
is to further the policies of the Act.
(d) The Bonds will be limited obligations of the City payable solely from the revenues
pledged to the payment thereof, and will not be a general or moral obligation of the City and will not be
secured by or payable from revenues derived from any exercise of the taxing powers of the City.
Section 2. Public Hearing. The City will conduct a public hearing on a date to be determined by
the City Manager in order to meet publication requirements in accordance with applicable law, on the
Housing Program, the Project, and the issuance of revenue Bonds by the City, notice of which hearing in
substantially the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Public Notice”) will be published as required by
Minnesota Statutes, Section 462C.04, subdivision 2, of the Act, and Section 147(f) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. City staff is hereby authorized to cause the publication of the Public
Notice in accordance with applicable law. The Public Notice will provide a general, functional
description of the Project, as well as the maximum aggregate face amount of the obligations to be issued
for the purposes referenced above, the identity of the initial owner, operator, or manager of the Project,
and the location of the Project. The Public Notice is authorized to be published in a newspaper
circulating generally in the City on a date at least 15 days before the meeting of the City Council at which
the public hearing will take place. At the public hearing reasonable opportunity will be provided for
interested individuals to express their views, both orally and in writing, on the Project and the proposed
issuance of such revenue obligations.
Section 3. Housing Program. Bond counsel, as described below, shall prepare and submit to the
City a draft Housing Program to authorize the issuance by the City of up to $17,000,000 in revenue
Bonds to finance the acquisition, rehabilitation, construction, and equipping of the Project by the
Borrower. City staff is hereby authorized to review, approve and submit the Housing Program to the
Metropolitan Council for its review on or before the date of publication of the Public Notice.
Section 4. Preliminary Approval. The City Council hereby provides preliminary approval to the
issuance of the Bonds in the approximate aggregate principal amount of $17,000,000 to finance all or a
portion of the costs of the Project pursuant to the Housing Program of the City, subject to: (i) review of
the Housing Program by the Metropolitan Council; (ii) receipt of an allocation of the bonding authority
from the State of Minnesota; (iii) a public hearing as required by the Act and Section 147(f) of the Code;
(iv) final approval following the preparation of bond documents; and (v) final determination by the City
Council that the financing of the Project and the issuance of the Bonds are in the best interests of the City.
BR291-409-687489.v2 3
Section 5. Submission of an Application for an Allocation of Bonding Authority. Under
Section 146 of the Code, the Bonds must receive an allocation of the bonding authority of the State of
Minnesota. An application for such an allocation must be made pursuant to the requirements of the Act.
The City Council hereby authorizes the submission of an application for allocation of bonding authority
pursuant to Section 146 of the Code and the Allocation Act in accordance with the requirements of the
Allocation Act. The Mayor of the City, the City Manager, the City Clerk, and Kennedy & Graven,
Chartered, acting as bond counsel with respect to the Project and the Bonds, are hereby authorized and
directed to take all actions, in cooperation with the Borrower, as are necessary to submit an application
for an allocation of bonding authority to Minnesota Management & Budget.
Section 6. Reimbursement of Costs under the Code.
(a) The United States Department of the Treasury has promulgated regulations governing the
use of the proceeds of tax-exempt bonds, all or a portion of which are to be used to reimburse the City or
the Borrower for project expenditures paid prior to the date of issuance of such bonds. Those regulations
(Treasury Regulations, Section 1.150-2) (the “Regulations”) require that the City adopt a statement of
official intent to reimburse an original expenditure not later than 60 days after payment of the original
expenditure. The Regulations also generally require that the bonds be issued and the reimbursement
allocation made from the proceeds of the bonds occur within 18 months after the later of: (i) the date the
expenditure is paid; or (ii) the date the project is placed in service or abandoned, but in no event more
than 3 years after the date the expenditure is paid. The Regulations generally permit reimbursement of
capital expenditures and costs of issuance of the bonds.
(b) To the extent any portion of the proceeds of the Bonds will be applied to expenditures
with respect to the Project, the City reasonably expects to reimburse the Borrower for the expenditures
made for costs of the Project from the proceeds of the Bonds after the date of payment of all or a portion
of such expenditures. All reimbursed expenditures shall be capital expenditures, a cost of issuance of the
Bonds, or other expenditures eligible for reimbursement under Section 1.150-2(d)(3) of the Regulations
and also qualifying expenditures under the Act.
(c) Based on representations by the Borrower, other than (i) expenditures to be paid or
reimbursed from sources other than the Bonds, (ii) expenditures permitted to be reimbursed under prior
regulations pursuant to the transitional provision contained in Section 1.150-2(j)(2)(i)(B) of the
Regulations, (iii) expenditures constituting preliminary expenditures within the meaning of Section 1.150-
2(f)(2) of the Regulations, or (iv) expenditures in a “de minimus” amount (as defined in Section 1.150-
2(f)(1) of the Regulations), no expenditures with respect to the Project to be reimbursed with the proceeds
of the Bonds have been made by the Borrower more than 60 days before the date of adoption of this
resolution of the City.
(d) Based on representations by the Borrower, as of the date hereof, there are no funds of the
Borrower reserved, allocated on a long term-basis or otherwise set aside (or reasonably expected to be
reserved, allocated on a long-term basis or otherwise set aside) to provide permanent financing for the
expenditures related to the Project to be financed from proceeds of the Bonds, other than pursuant to the
issuance of the Bonds. This resolution, therefore, is determined to be consistent with the budgetary and
financial circumstances of the Borrower as they exist or are reasonably foreseeable on the date hereof.
Section 7. Costs. The Borrower will pay the administrative fees of the City and pay, or, upon
demand, reimburse the City for payment of, any and all costs incurred by the City in connection with the
Project and the issuance of the Bonds, whether or not the Bonds are issued.
BR291-409-687489.v2 4
Section 8. Commitment Conditional. The adoption of this resolution does not constitute a
guarantee or a firm commitment that the City will issue the Bonds as requested by the Borrower. If, as a
result of information made available to or obtained by the City during its review of the Project, it appears
that the Project or the issuance of Bonds to finance or refinance the costs thereof is not in the public
interest or is inconsistent with the purposes of the Act, the City reserves the right to decline to give final
approval to the issuance of the Bonds. The City also retains the right, in its sole discretion, to withdraw
from participation and accordingly not issue the Bonds should the City Council, at any time prior to the
issuance thereof, determine that it is in the best interests of the City not to issue the Bonds or should the
parties to the transaction be unable to reach agreement as to the terms and conditions of any of the
documents for the transaction.
Section 9. Effective Date. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its
passage.

Dear Due and Nancy:
As you may be aware, The City of Brooklyn Center and Hennepin County are acquiring right of
way for the above referenced project. This letter constitutes the City's formal offer for the
purchase of the necessary land rights. The City of Brooklyn Center hereby offers all parties who
may have an interest in the real estate to be acquired the sum of $28,000.00, which has been
determined to be just compensation for such property and rights based upon the fair market value
of the property. Attached to this letter is a Value Calculation setting out the basis for this
determination.
This offer is made pursuant to the Market Value Appraisal procedures provided for under
Minnesota law. The City of Brooklyn Center previously, or with this offer, has provided you
with a copy of "Acquisition Information for Property Owners" brochure.
You will have a reasonable length of time to consider the offer. To aid in your decision you may
wish to secure your own appraisal. Minnesota law provides reimbursement in an amount not to
exceed $1,500.00 for the actual costs of an appraisal of prope1iy acquired by direct purchase.
If you accept the offer, the parcel will be acquired by direct purchase and you will be paid upon
satisfactory evidence of marketable title. In the worst-case scenario that a mutually acceptable
agreement cannot be anived at in a timely manner, the prope1iy may be acquired in an eminent
domain proceeding.
Your signature on this OFFER TO PURCHASE is only for the verification that such an offer has
been made to you and verification that the "Acquisition Information for Property Owners"
brochure has been received by you. Your signature below does not prejudice your right to have

Feasibility Report Lyndale Avenue Area Pavement Rehabilitation Page 2
I. BACKGROUND
In 2021, the City of Brooklyn Center is entering the 28th year of its long-range infrastructure
rehabilitation program often referred to as the Neighborhood Street and Utility Improvement Program.
This program has consisted of a systematic rehabilitation and/or replacement of the City’s aging streets,
water main, sanitary sewer, storm sewers, sidewalks, trails and street lights.
The City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) identifies portions of the Lyndale Avenue Area for
pavement reconditioning in 2021. The proposed project includes a roadway mill and overlay, minor
concrete curb repairs, minor utility improvements within the project limits as shown on Figure 1. The
Lyndale Avenue improvements extend from 55th Avenue to 57th Avenue and includes the 56th Avenue
and 55th Avenue cul-de-sacs.
This report was prepared in response to City Council Resolution No. 2020-95 dated October 26, 2020,
directing staff to prepare a feasibility report and collect public input for the proposed project. A public
informational meeting with property owners located within the project area will be scheduled shortly.
The 2021 project area consists of approximately 1,905 feet of streets. The project consists of
approximately 9 residential properties that are zoned "R2" and 2 multi-family properties that are zoned
“R4”.
Feasibility Report Lyndale Avenue Area Pavement Rehabilitation Page 3
Figure 1: Project Area
Feasibility Report Lyndale Avenue Area Pavement Rehabilitation Page 4
II. STREET IMPROVEMENTS
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
A majority of the Lyndale Avenue Area was originally constructed in 1955 as the Garcelons to
Minneapolis Addition. More than half the properties were redeveloped between 1945 and 1980. The
Lyndale Avenue Area was most recently reconstructed in 1985. The existing streets are generally 30-
feet wide with curb and gutter, which is typical for most low volume residential streets in Brooklyn
Center. Lyndale Avenue is a designated Municipal State Aid (MSA) route and the existing street is an
urban section that is approximately 28-feet wide with concrete curb and gutter.
A concrete sidewalk exists along the east side and west of Lyndale Avenue at 57th Avenue. A
bituminous trail exists along the east side of Lyndale Avenue the entire length of the project area.
An existing pavement evaluation was conducted resulting with the road surface showing signs of
deterioration such as some lateral cracking throughout the project area and moderate potholes have
occurred in some locations. The existing pavement section within project area varies but consist of 3-
3.5” inches of bituminous pavement and 4-8 inches of aggregate base per the typical sections in 1985.
Additionally, limited sections of deteriorated concrete curb and gutter were identified within the project
area.
Recent traffic counts for Lyndale Avenue are approximately 1,450 vehicles per day. The current
roadway configuration has been in-place for 35 years and appears to be functioning adequately. Traffic
counts within the Lyndale Avenue Area are not projected to substantially increase in the future. Major
changes in local traffic patterns are not anticipated as a result of the proposed mill and overlay of the
street segments. The existing street configuration is expected to be sufficient to convey existing and
future anticipated traffic volumes.
B. PROPOSED STREET IMPROVEMENTS
Based on the age, condition and maintenance needs of the existing bituminous asphalt pavement surface,
the recommended pavement improvements consist of a mill and overlay rehabilitation of the existing
pavement on Lyndale Avenue. The complete full depth pavement replacement of the street surface is
warranted for the 55th Avenue and 56th Avenue cul-de-sacs. The existing concrete curb and gutter
throughout the project area has not exceeded its life expectancy and can be suitably rehabilitated with
spot repairs. Approximately 30 percent of the concrete curb and gutter and concrete driveway aprons are
estimated to be replaced due to heaving/settling issues and as warranted or impacted by other
construction (e.g. public utility repairs).
In accordance with the Complete Streets Policy adopted by the City in 2013, all streets and trail projects,
including design, planning, reconstruction, rehabilitation, maintenance or operations by the City of
Brooklyn Center shall be designed and executed in a responsible, equitable and financially reasonable
way to accommodate and encourage travel by bicyclists, pedestrians, public transportation, emergency
and commercial vehicles in a balanced manner. Implementation of the City’s Complete Streets Policy
ensures that the needs and safety of pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and
abilities are taken into account in the design and operation of roads. Additionally, the Safe Routes to
School Planning (SRTS) Assistance Memorandum prepared by MnDOT in June 2013 and the Pedestrian
& Bicycle Plan (P&BP) adopted in March 2014 are used to plan additional sidewalk and trail routes.
The SRTS and the P&BP did not identified missing sidewalk/trail connections and no additional
pedestrian or bicycle facilities were identified within the project area. Pedestrian curb ramps in the
project area are in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and no sidewalk/trail
Feasibility Report Lyndale Avenue Area Pavement Rehabilitation Page 5
improvements are recommended.
III. STREET LIGHTING SYSTEM
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The street improvement program has historically included the replacement of free-standing street lights
located within the project area. Free-standing street lights are defined as lights mounted on poles which
do not contain any other overhead utilities attached to them. The existing street light system throughout
the project generally consists of multiuse-type poles, which are unable to be removed and therefore are
not planned to be replaced. The existing street lights on multiuse poles within the project area have
overhead power service with cobra-head type LED light fixtures.
B. PROPOSED STREET LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS
No street light improvements are included within the scope of this project.
IV. STORM DRAINAGE AND TREATMENT SYSTEM
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The project area is located within the West Mississippi River Watershed Management Commission area
and flows to the Mississippi River. The existing storm drainage system in the project area consists of a
network of storm sewer pipes installed in 1952, 1955 and 1985 and range in size from 12 to 36-inch
diameter reinforced concrete storm sewer pipes. A televising of the storm sewer in this area was
conducted in 2020 and it was found to be in good condition.
B. PROPOSED DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
Storm sewer improvements will be made to the existing system that includes replacing and adjusting
catch basin castings and isolated portions of lateral storm sewer as necessary within the project area.
V. SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The existing sanitary sewer throughout the project area is generally 24-inch diameter Reinforced
Concrete Pipe (RCP) that was installed in 1959. All public sanitary sewer pipes were inspected with
remote televising equipment in 2020. The condition of the sanitary sewer system within the area is rated
as good with no root sawing locations.
B. PROPOSED SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
Sanitary sewer improvements will be made to the existing system that includes replacing manhole
castings and lids within the project area. The replacement of the castings with external seals will help
minimize inflow and infiltration of rainwater into the sanitary sewer system. The24-inch diameter RCP
sanitary sewer pipe will be reviewed for potential lining during the final design.
VI. WATER SYSTEM
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The existing water main within the project area consists of 6-inch diameter ductile iron pipe (DIP)
installed in 1978 and 1985. Records indicate 0 main breaks have occurred within the neighborhood and
0 properties have experienced a frozen water service in past winters. The water main is in good
Feasibility Report Lyndale Avenue Area Pavement Rehabilitation Page 6
condition and has not approached the end of its life cycle.
B. PROPOSED WATER MAIN IMPROVEMENTS
Water main improvements include replacement of miscellaneous valves and hydrants in the project area.
VIII. RIGHT-OF-WAY AND EASEMENTS
Generally, all public infrastructure owned, maintained and operated by the City throughout the project
area is located within City easements and/or right-of-way. It is not anticipated that the City will need to
obtain any additional easements for any existing or proposed improvement located within the roadway.
If necessary, any identified easement needs during final design will be further coordinated with the City
Attorney and the identified property owners.
IX. ESTIMATED COSTS AND FUNDING CONSIDERATIONS
The total estimated cost of the proposed project is $700,000. Table 1 provides a summary of the
estimated project costs and recommended funding amounts from the various sources as indicated.
Funding for the project is further described below.
A. FUNDING FOR STREET IMPROVEMENTS
The estimated project cost of roadway improvements for all streets in this project area is $400,000. This
preliminary estimate includes the cost for project administration, legal, engineering and construction
contingency. Special assessments for street improvements are proposed in accordance with the 2021
rates (see Figure 2).
The properties that are zoned R2 would be assessed based on a frontage basis with a $1556 per lot
minimum in accordance with the 2021 assessment rates. Staff recommends that the assessment rate for
all R2 properties within the project should be capped at $1,556 because the R2 properties are similar in
size to a standard R1 property and the benefits from the street improvement a.re similar.
The multi-family properties located at 5547 Lyndale Ave and 5601 Lyndale Avenue are zoned R4
would be assessed based on an area basis. An “A” zone benefit includes the area abutting the street to
be improved, extended to the depth of 200-feet and a “B” zone of lesser benefit for the remainder of the
property area. The “A” zone rate is based on assessing 70 percent of the total street project cost deemed
to benefit the property and the “B” zone rate is based on 30 percent. Based on cost estimates for full
street reconstruction, the full unit rate has been determined to be “A” zone rate of $0.2876 per square
foot and a “B” zone rate of $0.1233 per square foot. It should be noted that historically the assessments
have been levied based on estimated costs rather than actual costs, understanding that the project costs
are levied at a reduced percentage (70 and 30 percent as indicated above).
City owned properties are not proposed to be assessed. A total estimated special assessment amount of
$25,175.64 would be levied for street improvements. The remaining street construction costs would be
funded from the Street Reconstruction Fund and Municipal State Aid (MSA) Fund. A summary of the
proposed special assessments for street improvements is provided in Appendix A.
C. FUNDING FOR UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS
The estimated cost of storm drainage improvements is $150,000; the estimated cost of sanitary sewer
improvements is $130,000; and the estimated cost for water main improvements is $20,000. As
previously noted, these total cost estimates include the costs for project administration, engineering,

legal and construction contingency. All costs for water and sanitary sewer improvements will be funded
by their respective utility funds in accordance with established policy for such improvements.

I. BACKGROUND
In 2021, the City of Brooklyn Center is entering the 28th year of its long-range infrastructure
rehabilitation program often referred to as the Neighborhood Street and Utility Improvement Program.
This program has consisted of a systematic rehabilitation and/or replacement of the City’s aging streets,
water main, sanitary sewer, storm sewers, sidewalks, trails and street lights.
The City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) identifies the Northwest Area of the Willow Lane
Neighborhood for pavement reconditioning in 2021. The proposed project includes a roadway mill and
overlay, minor concrete curb repairs, minor utility improvements within the project limits as shown on
Figure 1. The Northwest Area improvements extend from 69th Avenue to 71st Avenue and from Perry
Avenue to Toledo Avenue.
This report was prepared in response to City Council Resolution No. 2020-94 dated October 26, 2020,
directing staff to prepare a feasibility report and collect public input for the proposed project. A public
informational meeting with property owners located within the project area will be scheduled shortly.
The 2021 project area consists of approximately 6,819 feet of streets. The project consists of
approximately 119 residential properties that are zoned "R1" and 1 school property that is zoned "R1".
Feasibility Report Northwest Area Mill & Overlay Page 3

Feasibility Report Northwest Area Mill & Overlay Page 4
II. STREET IMPROVEMENTS
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
A majority of the Northwest Area was originally constructed in 1955 as the Millers Willow Lane
Addition. The Northwest Area was most recently reconstructed in 1994. The existing streets within the
project area are an urban section that is 30 feet wide with curb and gutter, which is typical for most low
volume residential streets in Brooklyn Center.
A concrete sidewalk exists along the east side of Perry Avenue from 69th Avenue to 71st Avenue and
along the south side of 71st Avenue from Perry Avenue to Brooklyn Boulevard. Some sections of
deteriorated concrete sidewalk were identified within the project area.
An existing pavement evaluation was conducted resulting with the road surface showing signs of
deterioration such as some lateral cracking throughout the project area and moderate potholes have
occurred in some locations. The existing pavement section within project area generally consist of 3
inches of bituminous pavement and 6 inches of aggregate base per the typical section in 1994.
Additionally, limited sections of deteriorated concrete curb and gutter were identified within the project
area.
The current roadway configuration has been in-place for 25 years and appears to be functioning
adequately. Traffic counts within the Northwest Area are not projected to substantially increase in the
future. Major changes in local traffic patterns are not anticipated as a result of the proposed mill and
overlay of the street segments. The existing street configuration is expected to be sufficient to convey
existing and future anticipated traffic volumes.
B. PROPOSED STREET IMPROVEMENTS
Based on the age, condition and maintenance needs of the existing bituminous asphalt pavement surface,
the recommended pavement improvements consist of a mill and overlay rehabilitation of the existing
pavement with the exception of Perry Avenue and 71st Avenue east of Perry Avenue. The complete full
depth pavement replacement of the street surface is warranted for the entire length of Perry Avenue and
71st Avenue east of Perry Avenue. The existing concrete curb and gutter throughout the project area has
not exceeded its life expectancy and can be suitably rehabilitated with spot repairs. Approximately 20
percent of the concrete curb and gutter and concrete driveway aprons are estimated to be replaced due to
heaving/settling issues and as warranted or impacted by other construction (e.g. public utility repairs).
In accordance with the Complete Streets Policy adopted by the City in 2013, all streets and trail projects,
including design, planning, reconstruction, rehabilitation, maintenance or operations by the City of
Brooklyn Center shall be designed and executed in a responsible, equitable and financially reasonable
way to accommodate and encourage travel by bicyclists, pedestrians, public transportation, emergency
and commercial vehicles in a balanced manner. Implementation of the City’s Complete Streets Policy
ensures that the needs and safety of pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and
abilities are taken into account in the design and operation of roads. Additionally, the Safe Routes to
School Planning (SRTS) Assistance Memorandum prepared by MnDOT in June 2013 and the Pedestrian
& Bicycle Plan (P&BP) adopted in March 2014 are used to plan additional sidewalk and trail routes.
The SRTS and the P&BP did not identified missing sidewalk/trail connections and no additional
pedestrian or bicycle facilities were identified within the project area.
Feasibility Report Northwest Area Mill & Overlay Page 5
Based on these considerations, the following strategies and improvements are recommended:
• An estimated 10 percent of the sidewalks throughout the project along are warranted to be
replaced due to heaving/settling issues.
• Pedestrian curb ramps will be constructed throughout the project at each crosswalk location with
truncated dome detectable warning systems in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA).
Disturbed boulevard areas will be restored with topsoil and sod.
Feasibility Report Northwest Area Mill & Overlay Page 6
III. STREET LIGHTING SYSTEM
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The street improvement program has historically included the replacement of free-standing street lights
located within the project area. Free-standing street lights are defined as lights mounted on poles which
do not contain any other overhead utilities attached to them. The existing street light system throughout
the project generally consists of fiberglass free-standing lights that have underground power service with
a rectilinear light fixture. Other street lights in the neighborhood exist on multiuse-type poles, which are
unable to be removed and therefore are not planned to be replaced. The existing street lights on multiuse
poles within the project area have overhead power service with cobra-head type LED light fixtures.
B. PROPOSED STREET LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS
No street light improvements are included within the scope of this project.
IV. STORM DRAINAGE AND TREATMENT SYSTEM
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The project area is located within the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission area and
ultimately flows to the Mississippi River. The existing storm drainage system in the project area consists
of a network of storm sewer pipes installed in 1994 and range in size from 15 to 42-inch diameter
reinforced concrete storm sewer pipes. A televising of the storm sewer in this area was conducted in
2020 and it was found to be in good condition.
B. PROPOSED DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
Storm sewer improvements will be made to the existing system that includes replacing catch basins
casting and adjustments as necessary within the project area.
V. SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The existing sanitary sewer throughout the project area is generally 8-inch to 10-inch diameter polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) that was installed in 1994. The majority of the existing sanitary sewer on Perry Ave is 8-
inch vitrified clay pipe (VCP) that was installed in 1956. All public sanitary sewer pipes were inspected
with remote televising equipment in 2019. The condition of the sanitary sewer system within the area is
rated as good with the exception of the root saw areas on Perry Avenue, see Figure 2.
B. PROPOSED SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
Sanitary sewer improvements will be made to the existing system that includes lining portions of the 8-
inch diameter VCP sanitary sewer trunk lines on Perry Avenue from 69th Avenue to 71st Avenue is
recommended due to the age and pipe material of the collection system. Other sanitary sewer
improvements also include replacing manhole castings and lids within the project area as necessary. The
replacement of the castings with external seals will help minimize inflow and infiltration of rainwater
into the sanitary sewer system.
Feasibility Report Northwest Area Mill & Overlay Page 7
Figure 2: Sanitary Sewer Root Saw Locations
Feasibility Report Northwest Area Mill & Overlay Page 8
VI. WATER SYSTEM
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
A majority of the water main within the project area consists of 6-inch diameter ductile iron pipe (DIP)
installed in 1994. The remaining water main on Perry Avenue consists of 6” diameter cast iron pipe
(CIP) installed in 1956. Records indicate 1 main break and 1 service repair have occurred within the
neighborhood on Perry Avenue, and 1 property has experienced a frozen water service in past winters
(See Figure 3). However, the water main is in fair to good condition and has not approached the end of
its life cycle.
B. PROPOSED WATER MAIN IMPROVEMENTS
Water main improvements include replacement of approximately half the valves and hydrants in the
project area. Shallow services that have been susceptible to freezing will be insulated from the water
main to approximately the water curb stop.

Feasibility Report Northwest Area Mill & Overlay Page 10
VIII. RIGHT-OF-WAY AND EASEMENTS
Generally, all public infrastructure owned, maintained and operated by the City throughout the project
area is located within City easements and/or right-of-way. It is not anticipated that the City will need to
obtain any additional easements for any existing or proposed improvement located within the roadway.
If necessary, any identified easement needs during final design will be further coordinated with the City
Attorney and the identified property owners.
IX. ESTIMATED COSTS AND FUNDING CONSIDERATIONS
The total estimated cost of the proposed project is $1,750,000. Table 1 provides a summary of the
estimated project costs and recommended funding amounts from the various sources as indicated.
Funding for the project is further described below.
A. FUNDING FOR STREET IMPROVEMENTS
The estimated project cost of roadway improvements for all streets in this project area is $990,000. This
preliminary estimate includes the cost for project administration, legal, engineering and construction
contingency. Special assessments for street improvements are proposed in accordance with the 2021
rates. The standard 2021 residential street assessment rate for street rehabilitation is $1,556 per R1
zoned residential property. This rate would be assessed to all benefitting single family residential
properties within the project area (see Figure 4). For R1 properties which may be legally subdividable
into two or more lots, the assessment to be applied shall equal the maximum number of lots allowable
times the unity R1 assessment. The lot located at 7020 Perry Avenue is legally subdividable and would
be assessed accordingly.
City owned properties are not proposed to be assessed. A total estimated special assessment amount of
$199,168.00 would be levied for street improvements. The remaining street construction costs would be
funded from the Street Reconstruction Fund. A summary of the proposed special assessments for street
improvements is provided in Appendix A.
C. FUNDING FOR UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS
The estimated cost of storm drainage improvements is $430,000; the estimated cost of sanitary sewer
improvements is $190,000; and the estimated cost for water main improvements is $140,000. As
previously noted, these total cost estimates include the costs for project administration, engineering,
legal and construction contingency. All costs for water and sanitary sewer improvements will be funded
by their respective utility funds in accordance with established policy for such improvements.

I. BACKGROUND
In 2021, the City of Brooklyn Center will be entering the 28th year of its long-range infrastructure
rehabilitation program often referred to as the Neighborhood Street and Utility Improvement Program.
This program has consisted of a systematic rehabilitation and/or replacement of the City’s aging streets,
water main, sanitary sewer, storm sewers, sidewalks, trails and street lights.
The City’s Capital Improvement Program identifies the Ryan Lake Industrial Park Area for
reconstruction in 2021. The proposed project includes roadway and utility improvements within the
project limits shown on Figure 1. The Ryan Lake Industrial Park Area project includes 48th Avenue and
Dusharme Drive from Drew Avenue to the dead end and 47th Avenue from Drew Avenue to the dead
end.
This report was prepared in response to City Council Resolution No. 2020-96 dated October 26, 2020,
directing staff to prepare a feasibility report and collect public input for the proposed project. Staff
conducted a public informational meeting with residents and property owners located within the project
area on December 2, 2020. A resident questionnaire and letter were also distributed as part of the project
evaluation process. A summary of property owner comments is provided in Appendix A.
The 2021 project area consists of approximately 1,290 feet of streets and utilities. The area consists of 3
multi-family properties that are zoned “R5”, and 10 properties that are zoned “Industrial”.

Feasibility Report Ryan Lake Industrial Park Area Street and Utility Improvements Page 4
II. STREET IMPROVEMENTS
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The majority of the local streets within the proposed project area were most recently improved between
1958 and 1960 resulting in the existing street pavement being in service for approximately 60 years. 47th
Avenue is generally 30 feet wide, which is typical for most low volume residential streets in Brooklyn
Center. 48th Avenue and Dusharme Drive is approximately 36 feet wide.
The roadways within the project area are very flat and do not have concrete curb and gutter. The
bituminous asphalt pavement has aged and is showing significant fatigue and distress. The typical
service life for bituminous pavement is approximately 30 years. Generally, it is no longer cost-effective
to routinely maintain these streets with seal coating or thin overlay procedures. Complete reconstruction
is warranted.
A geotechnical investigation will be performed within the project area to obtain and analyze soil
samples below the street pavement. The geotechnical evaluation report typically contains information
regarding the subsurface soil and groundwater conditions and appropriate design and construction
recommendations. Soil borings are anticipated to indicate fair to good soils.
Traffic within the project area is generally limited to local traffic access to residential multi-family
properties on 47th Avenue and commercial properties on 48th Avenue within the area. Traffic counts
within the area are not projected to substantially increase in the future because the project is bound by
Ryan Lake on the east, the railroad on the north and Highway 100 on the west.
B. PROPOSED STREET IMPROVEMENTS
Based on the age and condition of the existing bituminous asphalt pavement surfaces and the proposed
replacement of underlying utilities in certain locations, complete replacement of the street surface is
warranted. Proposed street improvements include full depth reconstruction for the existing streets to a
width of 30 feet for 47th Avenue and 36 feet for 48th Avenue and Dusharme Drive. 47th Avenue and
Dusharme Drive are both dead-end streets that terminate with a bulb cul-de-sac. These cul-de-sacs will
be reviewed for turning movements and for storm water inlet placement during final design.
The existing soil material is will be review with the future geotechnical report and are expected to
provide a stable foundation to support the proposed street and utility improvements. The roadway
subgrade consists of good soils and is planned to be reclaimed (recycled) in place to be reused as the
new aggregate base for the proposed street section. Removal of poor soils in isolated areas throughout
the project for utility and or roadway construction will be performed as recommended in the
geotechnical report and as determined in the field during construction.
The installation of concrete curb and gutter is proposed with the reconstruction of the streets within the
project area. Concrete curb and gutter will assist in conveying storm water runoff to storm sewer catch
basins. The street grades will also be designed to provide improved drainage to the storm sewer system.
The proposed street reconstruction does not include substantial changes to the roadway width, alignment
or elevation.
In accordance with the Complete Streets Policy adopted by the City in 2013, all streets and trail projects,
including design, planning, reconstruction, rehabilitation, maintenance or operations by the City of
Brooklyn Center shall be designed and executed in a responsible, equitable and financially reasonable
Feasibility Report Ryan Lake Industrial Park Area Street and Utility Improvements Page 5
way to accommodate and encourage travel by bicyclists, pedestrians, public transportation, emergency
and commercial vehicles in a balanced manner. Implementation of the City’s Complete Streets Policy
ensures that the needs and safety of pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and
abilities are taken into account in the design and operation of roads. Additionally, the Safe Routes to
School Planning (SRTS) Assistance Memorandum prepared by MnDOT in June 2013 and the Pedestrian
& Bicycle Plan (P&BP) adopted in March 2014 are used to plan additional sidewalk and trail routes.
The SRTS and the P&BP did not identified missing sidewalk/trail connections and no additional
pedestrian or bicycle facilities were identified within the project area.
It should also be noted that in-depth property surveys are not performed and when constructing the new
driveway aprons, the determined location generally matches existing driveway locations and widths. It is
not the intent under this project to verify and fix driveway-property line issues, which sometimes exist.
Rather, the construction under this project generally occurs within City right-of-way.
Other improvements include the installation of concrete driveway aprons, the replacement of trees that
are impacted, replacement of landscaping elements and irrigation systems that are impacted and
deficient segments of sidewalk are proposed to be repaired as warranted or impacted. Disturbed
boulevard areas will be restored with topsoil and sod.

III. STREET LIGHTING SYSTEM
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The capital improvement program has historically included the replacement of free-standing street lights
located within the project areas. Free-standing street lights are defined as lights mounted on poles, which
do not contain any other overhead utilities attached to them. There are currently two (2) free-standing
street lights within the project area. These lights consist of older style wood utility poles that have been
in service for many years, most likely dating back to the original construction of the area. The existing
free-standing street lights have overhead power services with a LED cobra-head type light fixtures.
Other street lights in the area exist on multiuse-type poles, which are unable to be removed and therefore
are not planned to be replaced. There is currently one (1) street light on a multiuse pole within the
project area.
The City’s Street Light Policy states that street lights may be provided at street intersections and at mid-
block locations where the distance between intersections exceeds 700 feet. Street lights are currently
located at all intersections and at most of the longer blocks that exceed 700 feet with minor exceptions.
B. PROPOSED STREET LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS
The recommended street light improvements include replacement of the two (2) existing free-standing
street lights with fiberglass poles, cut-off type LED light fixtures and underground power services.
Other street lights that are mounted on multiuse transmission/distribution poles within the area are not
proposed to be modified with this project (see Figure 2); however, Xcel Energy has indicated that all
Xcel Energy-owned cobra head-style streetlights on multiuse poles in the project area currently have
LED fixtures.
In accordance with City policy, mid-block street lights may be installed where the block exceeds 700
feet in length upon receipt of a petition signed by a majority of the property owners on the block,
including signatures of the property owners adjacent to the specific location where such mid-block light
is requested. Staff received an inquiry about adding a street lights at the intersection of 48th Avenue and
Dusharme Drive through the public outreach efforts of the project but staff has not received any formal
requests/petitions for additional street lights. Adding new street lights will be coordinated and evaluated
during the final design stages of the project with the property owners that would be directly affected by
adding new street lights. Should the appropriate petitions be received, additional lighting will be
included in the project lighting improvements.

IV. STORM DRAINAGE AND TREATMENT SYSTEM
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The project area is located within the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission area and the
majority of the storm water flows to Ryan Lake. The existing storm drainage system in the project area
consists of a network of public storm sewer pipes installed in 1960 and is generally undersized by
today’s standards (see Figure 3). The surface water within the majority of the area flows to a storm
drainage systems on 47th Avenue and 48th Avenue, discharging into Ryan Lake. The storm drainage
systems consist of 15-inch reinforced concrete pipe installed in 1960.
A televising inspection of the existing storm sewer is currently being conducted and will further be
evaluated during final design. A cursory review of the existing underground pipe network in this area
found the pipe to be in fair to good condition with some isolated issues identified in several areas that
warrant repair.
There are some isolated areas within the project area that experience localized flooding due to the flat
topography within the project area. A few comments from property owners indicated a lack of adequate
drainage facilities within the area and were mostly related to standing water along the edge of the street
and at driveways. However, no major flooding issues have been identified.
B. PROPOSED DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
Storm sewer improvements will be made to the existing system that includes replacing/repairing catch
basins and laterals where necessary. As indicated, the storm sewer system is to some extent undersized.
A more complete system is proposed to be installed including multiple new trunk and lateral lines and
catch basins in several areas. This expansion of the drainage system and installation of additional pipes
and catch basin structures will help minimize localized drainage problems. The existing public storm
sewer system within the street right-of-way will be reconstructed.
Proposed water quality improvements include installing sump catch basins at select discharge locations
where feasible. Additionally, infiltration basins (rain gardens) could be incorporated in the project area
within the boulevard areas where adjacent property owners volunteer and agree to these gardens.
An infiltration basin consists of a relatively small area of plantings within a constructed depression
located behind the street curb. Rainwater is routed to the areas from the street gutter and infiltrates
naturally by plants and soils in the garden. This infiltration process removes nutrients and pollutants. By
acting as a small detention pond, the rain garden plants and soils also provide a natural way of reducing
the amount of runoff water that flows from rooftops, lawns, driveways and streets directly into the storm
sewer system. The underground treatment chambers and infiltration basins are recommended for this
project in certain areas to help meet the City’s storm water treatment goals and requirements.

Feasibility Report Ryan Lake Industrial Park Area Street and Utility Improvements Page 10
V. SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The existing sanitary sewer collection system within the project area consists of eight-inch diameter
vitrified clay pipe (VCP) sewer mains. The majority of the sanitary sewer system was installed in 1960.
Due to the age and materials used in the original construction of the sanitary sewer, almost all of the
sanitary sewer mains within the project area are subjected to frequent issues with root intrusion. Public
Works crews must perform root sawing and jetting on an annual basis to maintain the system
conveyance capacity and avoid sewer back-ups in many locations (see Figure 4). The sanitary sewer
flows to a trunk line located west of the project area.
During the project planning phase, all public sanitary sewer pipes were inspected with remote televising
equipment. These inspections confirmed that portions of the sanitary sewer have moderate to severe
problems with root intrusion, sags and sections of cracked and broken pipe along pipe joints and at many
services. Surveys received from residents also indicate some occurrences of sewer service line blockage
that are often attributed to root penetration of the service pipe joints and connection points. Figure 5
illustrates a typical section of sewer pipe with moderate root intrusion problems. The project contains
many segments of sanitary sewer that are in likewise or worse condition.
Figure 4: Sanitary Sewer Line, Tree Root Intrusion
B. PROPOSED SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
Complete replacement of the public eight-inch diameter VCP sanitary sewer mains within the project
area is recommended due to the extent of root intrusion, sags and cracked pipe within the collection
system, see Figure 5. Isolated replacement of the problem areas is not cost effective. In accordance with
past City construction practice, individual service lines between the sewer main and the property line
would also be replaced.
Feasibility Report Ryan Lake Industrial Park Area Street and Utility Improvements Page 11
Figure 5: Sanitary Sewer Root Saw Locations
Feasibility Report Ryan Lake Industrial Park Area Street and Utility Improvements Page 12
VI. WATER SYSTEM
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
A majority of the water main within the project area consists of 6-inch and 10-inch cast iron pipe (CIP)
installed between 1958 and 1960. The water main pipe velocities in the Ryan Lake Area are all
relatively low due to low domestic demands in the residential area as confirmed by water distribution
modeling. A majority of the existing water main in the project area is assumed to be unlined CIP. There
is no history of water main break within the project area (see Figure 6). No properties were identified to
have had frozen service issues. The water main is in fair to good condition and has not approached the
end of its life cycle.
B. PROPOSED WATER MAIN IMPROVEMENTS
Recommended water main improvements include complete replacement of the existing cast iron water
main with new ductile iron water main, see Figure 6. The 2017 Water Supply Plan recommends upsize
the water main on 47th Avenue east of Drew Avenue to the three story apartments with 10-inch diameter
pipes. The proposed improvements include replacement of the water services extending from the water
main in the street to the water curb stop located at the front property line. Replacement pipe materials
include ductile iron pipe, which is more resistant to corrosion than cast iron pipe, and copper service
pipe.

Feasibility Report Ryan Lake Industrial Park Area Street and Utility Improvements Page 14
VII. PARK IMPROVEMENTS
There are no planned improvements to parks as part of this project. No new parks or other public
recreation facilities are planned as part of the project.
VIII. RIGHT-OF-WAY AND EASEMENTS
Generally, all public infrastructure owned, maintained and operated by the City throughout the project
area is located within City easements and/or right-of-way. It is not anticipated that the City will need to
obtain any additional easement for any existing or proposed improvement located within the roadway.
If necessary, any identified easement needs during final design will be further coordinated with the City
Attorney and the identified property owners.
IX. ESTIMATED COSTS AND FUNDING CONSIDERATIONS
The total estimated cost of the proposed project is $1,370,000.00. Table 1 provides a summary of the
estimated project costs and recommended funding amounts from the various sources as indicated.
Funding for the project is further described below.
A. FUNDING FOR STREET IMPROVEMENTS
The estimated project cost of roadway improvements for all streets in this project area is $610,000.00.
This preliminary estimate includes the cost for project administration, legal, engineering and
construction contingency. Special assessments for street improvements are proposed in accordance with
the City’s Special Assessment Policy.
The multi-family properties (apartments) located at 3401 47th Avenue, 3501 47th Avenue and 3513 47th
Avenue are zoned R5. There are 9 industrial properties located along 48th Avenue and Dusharme Drive.
These properties would be assessed based on an area basis. An “A” zone benefit includes the area
abutting the street to be improved, extended to the depth of 200-feet and a “B” zone of lesser benefit for
the remainder of the property area. The “A” zone rate is based on assessing 70 percent of the total street
project cost deemed to benefit the property and the “B” zone rate is based on 30 percent. Based on cost
estimates for full street reconstruction, the full unit rate has been determined to be “A” zone rate of
$0.5358 per square foot and a “B” zone rate of $0.2296 per square foot. It should be noted that
historically the assessments have been levied based on estimated costs rather than actual costs,
understanding that the project costs are levied at a reduced percentage (70 and 30 percents as indicated
above).
City owned properties are not proposed to be assessed. A total estimated special assessment amount of
$267,402.58 would be levied for street improvements. The remaining street construction costs would be
funded from the Street Reconstruction Fund. A summary of the proposed special assessments for street
improvements is provided in Appendix B.
B. FUNDING FOR STORM DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
The total estimated cost for storm drainage improvements within the project area is $220,000.00. This
preliminary estimate includes the cost for project administration, legal, engineering and construction
contingency. Special assessments for storm drainage improvements are proposed in accordance with the
City’s Special Assessment Policy.
Feasibility Report Ryan Lake Industrial Park Area Street and Utility Improvements Page 15
Storm sewer assessments for the R4, R5 & commercial properties have been computed similarly to the
street assessments. Based on preliminary cost estimates for the storm sewer improvements, the full unit
rate has been determined to be an “A” zone rate of $0.1932 per square foot and a “B” zone rate of
$0.0828 per square foot.
On this basis, a total estimated special assessment amount of $96,421.01 would be levied for storm
sewer improvements. A summary of the proposed special assessments for storm drainage improvements
is provided in Appendix B.
C. FUNDING FOR UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS
The estimated cost of sanitary sewer improvements is $220,000.00; the estimated cost for water main
improvements is $310,000.00; and the estimated cost for street light replacement is $10,000.00. As
previously noted, these total cost estimates include the costs for project administration, engineering,
legal and construction contingency. All costs for water, sanitary sewer and street light improvements
will be funded by their respective utility funds in accordance with established policy for such
improvements.

SUBJECT: CARES Act Funding
DATE: December 14, 2020
On July 29, 2020 the City of Brooklyn Center received $2,433,415 in CARES Act Relief Funding. Summarized
information is presented in the table below with more detailed information presented for each allocation. The
CARES Act requires that the payments from the Coronavirus Relief Fund only be used to cover expenses that –
1. Are necessary expenditures incurred due to public health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus
Disease 2019 (COVID19);
2. Were not accounted for in the budget most recently approved as of March 27, 2020;
3. Were or will be incurred during the period that begins on March 1, 2020, and ends on November 15, 2020
As required by the State of Minnesota, the City has completed and submitted monthly reports categorizing the
use of the funds. On November 24, the city completed the final report to the state that included eligible expenses
incurred through November 15. A resolution approving the final report to the state is included with this item.
The next page summarizes CARES expenditures and the information reported to the state and includes additional
information on eligible expenditures that also qualify for CARES Act spending.
As a requirement of the funding, the city will be required to complete a "Single Audit", which is an additional audit
that will be completed by the city's independent audit firm, but will focus solely on compliance with federal
funding requirements. Staff has had preliminary discussions with the auditors to ensure required documentation
and justification is available.
Amounts, descriptions and reference to guidance has been included within the memo on all amounts included in
the final report submitted to the State of Minnesota.
In consultation with the League of MN Cities, Metro Cities, federal guidance, and our auditors a basis for the
allocation of CARES Act Relief Funding is as follows:
Personnel Services
Substantial different use
Personnel Diverted to a Substantially Different Use. City personnel job duties were substantially diverted in
response to the pandemic. A subledger was created (W.00002019) and utilized during time entry to identify
hours/time spent on impacted job duties. These duties included but were not limited to:
‐ Response coordination ‐ COVID‐19 strategic planning
‐ COVID‐19 policy development ‐ Communication to public and staff
‐ Meetings ‐ Building preparation
‐ Additional cleaning and disinfection
Included in this category as well is Emergency paid leave that accounts for employees who were unable to work as
a result of Minnesota’s Stay At Home Directive to mitigate the spread of the virus. Primarily employees at the
Community Center, Earle Brown Heritage Center and Municipal Liquor stores were impacted.
Public Health and Safety Employees – Public Safety
Public Safety employees encountered many challenges as they responded to the pandemic. Some time was coded
directly to the COVID‐19 subledger based on specific duties and hours they spent on tasks. In addition, a portion
of patrol officer payroll was also allocated to CARES funding. A list of COVID related tasks included but is not
limited to the following:
Designing and implementing modified schedules for a variety of staff positions.
Identifying equipment to allow some staff to work from home, and then getting it in place.
Troubleshooting new processes / modifying existing processes to keep our business practices as efficient
and economical as possible with set of staff working from home while others remained at work.
Evaluating PPE needs, and then ordering and distributing them.
Attending meetings and briefings from “experts” to learn more about COVID and how we should be
responding to community members needs and staff needs.
COVID Innovation Meetings
Draft City‐wide ELF leave policy
Craft HC jail booking memo
Zoom meetings with HCSO regarding COVID
North SIT‐Rep Meetings
Commander meetings planning alternative patrol schedules
Finding, ordering and in some circumstances picking up gloves,
Ordering Hand sanitizer (on going for several weeks until the supply chain caught up with demand)
Ordering disinfectant (on going for several weeks until the supply chain caught up with demand)
Evaluating the schedule for potential changes (5 on 14 off or a variance of that)
Informing the department about our response to medicals, and other COVID related issues
Daily briefings from North memorial, to eventual weekly briefings
Educating the Patrol division on COVID symptoms, how it’s transmitted, what is safe, what isn’t
To a limited extent‐filling shifts with vacancies due to COVID 19
Strategic response plan as it relates to Emergency management (3 hours at West fire Sunday night)
Updates to Patrol about COVID‐general education about the spread and safety
Researched ways to sanitized the city and get equipment related to sanitizing
All related to the COVID grant proposal
Researched options to prevent COVID (washing machines at the PD, other sanitizing options).
Monitored the usage of our PPE’s and reordering abilities
Eligible under the CRF FAQ dated 9/20/2020.
Personal Protective Equipment/Supplies
Items include protective shields, sanitizer, disinfectant, wipes, signage, building modifications, gloves and face
masks. As eligible in accordance with the Federal CRF Guidance dated June 20, 2020.
Grant/Loan Programs
Small Business, Local Nonprofit and Loan Program administered by the City and under contract with African
Career, Education & Resource (ACER) and Liberian Business Association (LIBA).
Small Business Relief Program:
The City has invested CARES funding to support small and micro businesses through two different programs being
administered by ACER and LIBA. The goal of the program is to support small local businesses, particularly
minority‐owned businesses, who may be facing barriers to access other sources of financial relief offered by the
state or County. The programs involve technical assistance and one‐on‐one customized relief packages.
Local Nonprofit Support for Direct Services
The City allocated CARES funding to aid local nonprofits who are directly serving residents who have been
impacted by the pandemic. The funds were distributed among five agencies. Four of the organizations will provide
direct assistance to residents. Fifteen percent of the funds will go directly to the agencies to cover the
administration of the programs. The remaining 85 percent of funds are being provided directly to residents who
have experienced financial hardship due to the pandemic through grants up to $3,000. Funds will be used to cover
rent/mortgage assistance, private utility payments, internet service, and food assistance. CEAP is receiving CARES
funding through the program to assist with converting their distribution center to allow drive‐thru services which
will reduce the need for vulnerable populations to exit their vehicles when picking up food.
Forgivable Loan Program:
Funds were provided to support small business relief though micro loans of $3,000. Over 20 businesses have been
served through the program.

O pera.on of S nowmobiles, A ll-Terrain Vehicles, O ff-H ighway M otorcycles and O ther
Recrea.onal Vehicles w ithin the C ity
B ackground:
T he C ity of B rooklyn C enter has previously adopted C hapter 27-901 to 27-909 (a6ached) regarding the use of
snowmobiles within city limits. C urrently the ordinance does not allow for the use of snowmobiles on public
streets, roadway, shoulders, inside the bank or slope of any state trunk, county state aid, or county highway. T he
current ordinance however does not prevent the use of a snowmobile on individual property or on private
property with the owner’s consent.
I n addi.on, the C ity C ode is silent on the use of other recrea.onal or all terrain vehicles both on private or
public property.
T he C ity C ouncil reviewed this topic at their September 24 work session. T hey directed the item to the Housing
C ommission for review and a recommenda.on.
This topic w as brought to the H ousing Commission for review at their O ctober 20, 2020, mee.ng. The
H ousing Commission discussed the ordinances and had s everal concerns about the propos ed ordinance. A
s ummary of their discussion and recommenda.on is as follow s :
1. H ousing Commission sugges ted that recrea.onal vehicles s hould be a permi6ed us e on residen.al
proper.es
2. I t was also sugges ted that if recrea.onal vehicles are prohibited on private property, then an
exemp.on s hould be stated to allow res idents who have direct lake acces s be allow ed to operate their
recrea.onal vehicles on their property.
3. The H ous ing C ommis s ion approved of the overall changes to the ordinance as they help to clarify and
clean up the ordinance.
4. The H ous ing C ommis s ion recommenda.on was to adopt the proposed ordinance with adding an
exemp.on under 27-902 to allow for the use on private property from the hours of 7am to 10pm.
5. The H ous ing C ommis s ion s uggested that any unusually noisy us e would be res tricted by sec.on 27-
903, while s .ll allow ing use in s ec.on 27-902. The language in 27-903 states that nois es that are
annoying or cause a disturbance are prohibited. This w ould place the burden on a neighbor to not
only call in the complaint, but provide tes .mony that the use of the recrea.onal vehicle caus ed
dis turbance or annoyed if the ma6er w ere to go to court.
At the November 9, 2020 C ity C ouncil Work S es s ion the C ity C ouncil provided direc.on on the ordinance
regarding the opera.on of snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles , and off-highw ay motorcycles . The City Council
directed staff to prepare an ordinance that aligned w ith the H ous ing C ommis s ion's recommenda.ons. The
ordinance has been updated w ith the recommenda.ons from the H ous ing C ommis s ion and the City

BY:Meg Beekman, C ommunity Development Director
S UBJ EC T:A C oncept Development P roposal for 6221 S hingle C reek P arkway (T he C rest Apartments)
Recommendation:
- C onsider a concept development proposal for 6221 S hingle C reek P arkway (T he C rest Apartments)
Background:
T he c onc ept review proc es s is an opportunity for the C ity C ounc il to review a development c onc ept prior to a
formal proposal from an applic ant, and provide comments, ask ques tions , and indic ate whether or not the C ity
would be open to the projec t. C oncept reviews are helpful for projec ts that would involve EDA-owned land or
public subs idy, as it provides ins ight to s taff and the developer as to the C ity C ouncil’s level of interest, and
any spec ific concerns , related to a projec t.
A concept review is c onsidered advisory and is nonbinding to the C ity and the applic ant. No formal action can
be taken at a work session, and the C ounc il is not being as ked to vote on the propos al. If the developer
choos es to submit a formal application to the C ity to proceed, it would be subject to the full review proc es s , as
with any other development application.
C oncept P roposal
Aeon is the owner and operator of the C rest Apartments, whic h purc hased the building in 2012 and completed
a renovation in 2014. T he C rest is a 122-unit affordable muli-family apartment in the c ommunity on 4.37 acres
of land. T he property abuts the Hennepin C ounty library and service center to the north and C entennial P ark to
the east.
Aeon is preparing a C onduit R evenue Bond application to the state for $17,000,000 to c omplete nec es s ary
renovations to the existing building and to c onstruc t an additional 47 units of affordable hous ing on the existing
s ite. T hey have provided a projec t overview detailing their c onc ept which is attached to this report.
T he rehabilitation component of the proposal would provide $5,000,000 of funds for needed improvements to
the exis ting building, whic h cons is ts of 78 one-bedroom units and 44 two-bedroom units. T he units are all
currently res tric ted at 50% area median inc ome (AMI). T here are an additional eleven units that are s et as ide to
s erve pers ons with dis abilities.
T he new cons truction component would allow a sec ond multi-family building on the site whic h would provide
47 units of predominantly two and three-bedroom units . T he rents would average roughly 60 percent AMI.
T he new building would be s ix s tories in height and include amenities s uc h as a community room, fitnes s spac e
and homework room. Due to the presence of floodplains on the s ite, Aeon has not yet determined where the
building will be loc ated and has provided s everal pos s ible loc ations .
T hey are c urrently proposing 59 parking stalls for the new building.
S taff has met with Aeon to disc uss the site lay out and development plan; however, staff has not done a
complete review of the propos al, which would occ ur at the time that a full land use application was s ubmitted.
Detailed items s uc h as setbacks , s tormwater, grading, traffic circ ulation, etc will all need to be carefully
reviewed. Adjus tments to the site plan may be nec es s ary as more detailed plans are developed.
F i nanci ng
T he developer has submitted a preliminary proforma and s ourc es and us es . T he primary source of financ ing
for the development would be 4% Low Income Housing Tax C redits (LI HT C ). T he total projec t costs are
es timated to be $36,703,812. T he project would als o include a Tax Inc rement F inanc ing (T I F ) request. At
pres ent the developer is antic ipating a reques t of $1,400,000 in T I F ; however a public s ubsidy applic ation has
not yet been s ubmitted.
It should be noted that any public subsidy request would undergo a thorough review by the City's public finance
consultant and would be required to meet the standards set forth in State Statute, which include demonstrating that
without the subsidy the project could not go forward on its own.
P rocess
Aeon is requesting city approval to submit a preliminary application for C onduit Revenue B onds to the state. If
approved, the City Council will be asked to hold a public hearing and consider providing authority to issue conduit
debt to the project.
Aeon will also need to submit to the city for land use entitlements for the project itself along with any application
for public subsidy for a full and complete city review.
Policy Issues:
T he C ity C ouncil is being as ked to cons ider the concept proposal from Aeon and provide feedback on the
development plan, site layout, and public subs idy request.
Issues for the C ounc il to c onsider:
Is the development plan in keeping with the C ity's 2040 future land use plan and long range vision for the
area?
Are there as pects of concept or overall project that are concerning to the C ouncil?
Is the us e of public subs idy appropriate to catalyze the redevelopment of this site?
Does the propos ed us e the the site forward the C ity's strategic priorities?

The Crest
Rehabilitation and Expansion
Prepared by Aeon
Project Summary
Aeon purchased The Crest Apartments in 2012
and initial renovations were completed in 2014.
The Crest offers 122 affordable, spacious homes
to individuals and families in the Brooklyn Center
community with access to the green space at the
adjacent Garden City Park.
Aeon is proposing a project that would allow for
necessary updates to The Crest’s 122 homes as
well as add 47 homes on the existing
underutilized land.
We request that City Council support a
submission to Minnesota Management and Budget by the City of Brooklyn Center for Housing Revenue
Bonds on behalf of Aeon.
Community Need
The Twin Cities has a severe need for more affordable homes. There are currently only 37 affordable
homes available for every 100 extremely low-income families in need (MN Housing). And without stable
housing, people cannot properly address their health, education, employment, and social needs.
Given the unusual time we face with the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an even greater need for affordable
housing. Renters have lost income, childcare, and social supports. Significant disruptions to the pipeline of
new affordable housing could mean fewer new units coming online in the upcoming months or years.
Aeon is confident we can navigate this uncertainty. Together, we can ensure our community’s most
vulnerable families have access to stability during this national crisis.
Rehabilitation of Phase 1
The Crest Phase 1 consists of 122 units, including 78 one-
bedroom apartment homes and 44 two-bedroom apartment
homes. The units are currently restricted to households at or
below 50% of area median income or $36,200 for a single-
member household. Additionally, there are eleven units that
have Section 811 rental assistance and serve individuals with
disabilities.
The proposed project will inject approximately $5,000,000 (or $41,000 per unit) in renovations into the 13-
story tower. The renovation dollars will allow the existing property to complete necessary improvements
to building systems, including plumbing, HVAC, and elevators, to keep the project in good repair for the
years to come. These dollars will also allow upgrades to the apartment homes.
New Construction of Phase 2
The project is proposing an additional 47-unit building will focus on two- and three-bedroom units for
families. The new building will have approximately 4 one-bedroom, 25 two-bedroom and 18 three-bedroom
apartment homes. The new units would have a mix of affordability averaging roughly 60% of area median
income.
The new building is proposed to be a six-story structure with parking occupying the first floor. The building
would stand alone with its own community room, management office, fitness space and homework room.
The property currently sits in a flood plain, so several building placement options need to be considered.
Parking
The existing Crest (122 units) would be allocated 117 surface parking stalls. Based on current use, this
would be more than adequate to support the existing property. The proposed project would repair the
existing parking lot and restripe it to achieve more efficiency in parking.
The new construction of 47 units will support 28 surface parking stalls and 31 covered stalls, for a total of
59 stalls. Due to limitations of the site, the covered stalls would occupy the first floor of the new
construction building.
Financing
The Crest currently has an existing HUD Risk Share mortgage on it, with additional funds from Hennepin
County and Minnesota Housing. The total existing funding equates to about $2,440,000 – some of which
will remain with the project in a new limited partnership and some of which will be replaced with new
financing.

In partnership with the City of Brooklyn Center, the project aims to request approximately 16,500,000 in
tax exempt bonds in January 2021. The project will also secure a first mortgage and anticipates requesting
TIF from the City of Brooklyn Center. The general partner is expected to make a contribution to round out
the capital stack for the project. The anticipated total development cost for this project is roughly
$36,700,000.

S UBJ EC T:C ommunity C elebration Name
Recommendation:
- C ouncil direction regarding a potential change in the name of the Annual C ity C elebration.
Background:
F or several years staff has disc ussed ways to improve public partic ipation in the annual C ity C elebration
known as Earle Brown Days . In it's earlier s tages the Earle Brown Days C ommittee composed of resident
volunteers with staff support as s umed the primary role for planning this multi-day event. T he C ity made
relatively s mall direc t financial contributions and relied upon c ommittee fundraising to cover much of costs ,
inc luding fire works expens e.
O ver the years, the level of volunteer partic ipation has dec lined and the C ity role for planning and funding has
inc reas ed. T hroughout this time, s taff has tried a variety of approaches to broaden c ommunity participation in
events and in planning for the event.
O ne of the ways to enc ourage c ommunity involvement that has been frequently dis cus s ed has been a change in
the name of the event. It has been staffs belief for some time that the Earle Brown Days brand does not
immediately resonate with the c hanging community of Brooklyn C enter. W hile we don't assume that a name
change will automatically result in inc reas ed c ommunity involvement and participation. We do believe it could
be an important first step toward re-creating a C ommunity C elebration that will be encouraging to res idents
who feel little c onnection to the agricultural past of the C ity.
F urthermore, the current c ontroversy regarding the alleged Ku Klux Klan assoc iation by S heriff Brown c an
only exacerbate the branding problem for a c elebration that is intended to bring the community together. It is
impos s ible to imagine how c ontinuing the use of Earle Brown Days, will help build c ommunity, whic h is the
purpose of an annual c elebration.
My limited researc h of the s ubjec t s uggests that a s mall perc entage of c ommunity c elebrations are named after
individuals. T his may be true becaus e it is difficult to identify a who is flawles s or s omeone who c learly
pers onifies or c aptures the es s enc e of the c ommunity.
S taff does not have a recommended new name for an annual c ommunity c elebration at this time. But we are
prepared to c ame bac k to the C ounc il if s uggestions if you would like.
T hes e sugges tions c ould be easily informed by solic iting input from the community through a variety of s urvey
methods . We could easily spons ors a contest for the naming of the event. T he C ouncil could dec ide.
O bviously, there are numerous approac hes that could be used.
We could elec t to use a generic name i.e. "Brooklyn C enter Days " for the c urrent year and let the c ommunity
decide over next s everal months.
At this stage, we are s eeking C ouncil direction s tric tly related to this one event. Unlike the Heritage C enter, the
community celebration has no direct c onnection to S herriff Brown or to the founding his tory of
the c ommunity, fac tors that you may c hoose to cons ider as a dec is ion is made regarding the naming of other
public ly owned assets .
Policy Issues:
Does the C ouncil have sufficient information to provide direction?
Will a change in the name of annual c ommunity c elebration best serve the interes t of Brooklyn C enter residents
and s takeholders?
If a c hange in name is warrant, how should a new name be establis hed?
