-Motion to approve a second reading of the requested ordi nance Amending
Chapter 35 of the City Code of Ordinance Regarding application
requirements for land disturbance permits. On August 10th, 2023, the
Planning Commission held a public hearing for this item, no comments
were received. The Pl anni ng Commission has recommended this item for
approval by the council.
d.Resolution Requesting an A mendment to the By-L aws of the City of Brooklyn
Center Fire Department Relief Association to I ncrease the L ump Sum B enefit
to $12,000 P er Year
T he B C F R A is requesting city approval for an increase in our pension
amount from $10,000 to $12,000 per year of service. This is an excellent way
to increase the fire fighter compensation package without impacting the city
budget. The last pension increase was $1500 in 2021, which brought us to
the current $10,000 per-year-of- service. E nclosed please find the J anuary
2023 actuarial report from V I A Actuarial Solutions as well as a supplemental
study specifically regarding this potential increase.
T he B C F R A board believes that it has fiduciary responsibilities to both the
membership and to the Council. The responsibility to the membership is to
seek the highest financially sound benefit level. T he responsibility to the
Council is to not expose the city to any financial risk which could lead to
mandatory contributions. Based on the analysis, there does not appear to be
a financial risk.

OF THE
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE
COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND STATE OF MINNESOTA
JOINT WORK SESSION
AUGUST 19, 2023
COUNCIL COMMISSION ROOM

The Brooklyn Center City Council/Financial Commission Joint Work Session was called to order
by Mayor Pro Tem Butler at 8:44 a.m.
2. ROLL CALL
Mayor Pro Tem Marquita Butler and Councilmembers Dan Jerzak and Kris Lawrence-Anderson
were present. Councilmember Taneshia Kragness was present online.
Mayor April Graves was absent and excused.
Also present were Financial Commissioner Laurie Moore and Leonard Brown.
Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, Assistant City Manager/ City Clerk Barb Suciu,
Director of Finance and Fiscal Services Angela Holm, Director of Community Development Jesse
Anderson, Director of Public Works Elizabeth Heyman, Todd Berg, Fire Chief, and Kellace
McDaniel, Police Chief.
Mayor Pro Tem Butler asked if the Councilmembers and Commissioners were open to public

completing it in the allotted time would be difficult.
Councilmember Jerzak and Councilmember Kragness noted their agreement with Councilmember
Lawrence Anderson.
3. 2024 GENERAL FUND DEPARTMENT BUDGET REQUEST
City Manager Reggie Edwards introduced the item and invited Director of Finance and Fiscal
Services Angela Holm to continue the presentation.
Ms. Holm pointed out that next year's budget meetings would not be held on the weekends. She
summarized the agenda for the meeting and explained the budget consists of non-negotiables,
required items, and nice-to-have items.
4. FUTURE BUDGET DISCUSSION
8/19/23

4a. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Director of Finance and Fiscal Services Angela Holm introduced the item and invited the Director
of Community Development to continue the presentation. Mr. Anderson explained the mission of
the Community Development Department is to preserve and enhance the quality of life for the
residents and businesses of Brooklyn Center by guiding the development of the City with effective
measures of planning, design review, construction plan approval, code compliance, housing and
business assistance.
Mr. Anderson noted the Administration Division provides friendly, quality, accurate, responsive
and timely customer service to permit and program applicants, residents, business owners,
contractors, and internal customers. The Division administers housing assistance, rental licensing,
mechanical licensing, sign hanger license, permit application, and the administrative penalty
program.
Mr. Anderson stated the Business and Development Division supports a thriving local economy
and resident economic stability by guiding the redevelopment activities of the City by ensuring the
City's policies, programs, and regulatory framework forward the City's vision and goals while
remaining responsive to market demand. The Division works with stakeholders to ensure
compliance with the City's ordinances, policies, and Comprehensive Plan. The Division works
with governmental and non-governmental organizations to provide various resources and services
to businesses and residents in the community.
Mr. Anderson added the Building & Community Standards Division promotes the City's Strategic
Priority of Safe, Secure, and Stable Community by ensuring clean, safe and attractive
neighborhoods where people want to live and do business. Exceptional customer service is
provided for residential and commercial development and construction, property maintenance,
housing, and community services. It is through the use of modern technology, professional Staff,
and collaboration with our customers that we efficiently and effectively serve the community.
Mr. Anderson showed the organizational chart for the Community Development Department. He
pointed out the Deputy Director position is unfilled, and that position would be replaced by an
Economic Development Authority (EDA) and Housing Manager for the 2024 budget. Otherwise,
the Staffing levels would remain the same. He showed a table of staffing levels for the Department,
divided by the General Fund and the EDA budgets. In 2025, there is an anticipated need for an
additional Code Enforcement and Housing Inspector due to local building development plans.
Mr. Anderson noted key initiatives focused on achieving strategic priorities/value propositions
include targeted redevelopment, resident economic stability, an enhanced community image and a
safe, secure, and stable community. The desired outcome of the Opportunity Site redevelopment
is an inviting, attractive, walkable and vibrant development that provides for a mix of housing and
commercial types that create a dense mixed-use downtown. The initiatives for 2024 include
completing the Opportunity Site Master Plan, completing a housing policy plan to implement the
housing goals within the Master Plan, continuing development within the Opportunity Site area,
and advancing redevelopment opportunities within the Opportunity Site area.
8/19/23
Page 3
Mr. Anderson explained that the desired outcome for the redevelopment of EDA-owned properties
is to identify property to acquire and dispose of to facilitate development that forwards the City's
strategic priorities. The initiatives for 2024 include identifying EDA-owned properties to position
for resale strategically, marketing EDA-owned properties to attract development opportunity that
forwards the City's strategic priorities, developing tools to reduce barriers for developers and
investors to access EDA-owned property and repurpose it, and developing an RFP for scattered
site EDA-owned parcels.
Commissioner Moore asked how many proposed residential lots are in the City. Mr. Anderson
pointed out some are unusable, but there hasn't been an analysis recently to determine an exact
number. Planners will begin to review parcels to determine if they are buildable.
Dr. Edwards suggested listeners write down any questions for Staff to answer in the future.
Mr. Anderson stated job pathways and workforce development efforts aim to expand workforce
development initiatives and improve pathways for residents between the high school, higher
education, training and employers and support the BrookLynk program by employing and
mentoring interns and providing staff support to the Project Management Team.
Mayor Pro Tem Butler pointed out the City contributes additional funds to the efforts mentioned
above and the allotted American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. She asked if Brooklyn Center
contributes more money to the efforts because Brooklyn Park administers the program. Dr.
Edwards stated Brooklyn Park pays more than Brooklyn Center.
Mr. Anderson stated the desired outcome of supporting small businesses and entrepreneurs is to
foster entrepreneurship opportunities for residents and those who want to start or grow a business
in Brooklyn Center, emphasizing underserved entrepreneurs. Each initiative
towards this goal will contribute to the creation of a small business ecosystem that meets the needs
of small and local businesses at multiple points in their lifecycle. To achieve this outcome, there
are plans to invest in and create a business incubator as part of an initial development on the
Opportunity Site to provide affordable commercial space for local businesses, invest in and create
a business resource center to provide technical assistance and support to small businesses and
entrepreneurs, explore the feasibility and appropriateness of creating additional affordable
commercial space for local businesses as EDA-owned properties redevelop, and implement and
expand offerings needed by local businesses and entrepreneurs by providing access to capital,
access to technical assistance, and improved communication and City services.
Mr. Anderson noted that the desired outcome of supporting housing stability is to increase resident
economic stability by creating and preserving accessible, affordable housing options. To achieve
this outcome, Staff will explore opportunities to promote homeownership for existing and future
residents, with an emphasis on serving those with barriers to home ownership, explore a Naturally-
Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH) Preservation program, identify funding options for
Housing Initiatives, and partner with outside agencies and nonprofits to increase housing stability
through connecting residents to housing assistance programs and access to resources about tenant
rights.
8/19/23
Page 4
Mr. Anderson stated the desired outcome of Code Enforcement, Rental Licensing, and Building
Inspections is to stabilize and improve residential neighborhoods and commercial properties. Staff
plans to coordinate and inspect residential rental properties following city code
Requirements, monitor, inspect, and register vacant properties; continue Code Enforcement
activities with proactive inspections with the focus on resolving ongoing and repeat violations;
provide focused code enforcement efforts to develop relationships with and hold accountable
commercial property owners and managers for maintaining their properties following community
standards, explore programs to incentivize businesses to invest in beautification strategies, review
the Rental Licensing Program for improvements that will better serve the goals of the program and
enhance tenant protections, and review and make amendments to Chapter 19 related to the City's
nuisance and abatement regulations.
Dr. Edwards pointed out that the budget request format considers the City's desired outcomes and
strategic priorities.
Mr. Anderson added another desired outcome is to ensure all buildings are designed, constructed
and maintained in a safe and sound condition. To achieve this outcome, Staff will work with
developers, architects, business owners and property owners to ensur e building plans indicate
compliance with all residential and commercial construction codes and develop a system for
delivering welcome and introductory information for newly remodeled or constructed businesses
that can also be used for business retention strategies.
Mayor Pro Tem Butler asked if holding business owners accountable falls under code enforcement,
rental licensing, and building inspections. Mr. Anderson stated the responsibility of holding
business owners accountable is for code enforcement Staff.
Mayor Pro Tem Butler asked if there is a reporting process for community members to report
issues with local businesses. Mr. Anderson stated anyone can report code violations online. Also,
the Economic Development Coordinator works to provide resources to business owners to fix any
violations.
Commissioner Moore noted her concern about vacant properties and the upkeep of residential
priorities in the City. She suggested the Council prioritize an attractive and well -maintained
Brooklyn Center. It is not "safe and sound" if a neighboring home is poorly maintained and attracts
vermin to the neighborhood. It is embarrassing.
Councilmember Jerzak asked if there is a designated inspector for commercial properties. There
are several vacant commercial properties on top of planned new development. The community
survey has shown a need for more Staff within the Community Development Department. He
noted his concern about rearranging the Deputy Director's role and responsibilities.
Mr. Anderson stated there is not a dedicated inspector for commercial properties. It would be a
stretch for Staff to accommodate commercial inspections with the current Staffing level and a
likely influx of commercial properties. He added a lot of the duties of the Deputy Director position
would remain with the Community Development Director. The previous Director focused more
on EDA, which would be shifted to the Economic Development and Housing Manager role.
8/19/23
Page 5
Councilmember Jerzak pointed out that rebuilding the code took a lot of time, but a significant
amount of money has been put into development efforts. He asked if the City will continue to need
external services such as Ehlers to support its responsibilities.
Mr. Anderson explained Ehlers does a lot of tax increment financing (TIF) work that is funded
directly through TIF. Ehler has also been used for EDA management in light of the previous
Director's departure, which the EDA has funded. The goal is to taper their services as the new
Manager role is filled.
Councilmember Jerzak asked if there is still a plan for remodeling the office area to accommodate
additional Staff. Mr. Anderson stated the new Manager would take over his old office. The IT
Director is only in the office space temporarily. As for the remodel, it is part of the capital building
maintenance plan that will prioritize future projects. There would be space issues in 2025 if another
position were added.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson pointed out the 2023 budget included $5,000 for professional
services. However, the June year-to-date amount was over $360,000. Ms. Holm stated that the
$360,000 comprises two miscoded invoices and is in ARPA funds. Staff will fix it for the future.
Mr. Anderson showed a table with the summary budget reflecting the year-to-date spending.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson added she would like to do a deep dive into ARPA funds at
some point.
Councilmember Jerzak stated he would like to discuss continuing programs that are ending, such
as those related to workforce development. Dr. Edwards stated a presentation is planned for the
Council. ARPA funds are intended to be a one-time use for programming. There is potential State
funding to sustain the work.
Mr. Anderson added workforce development efforts can be budgeted for in 2025.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson noted she is always concerned about the sustainability and
stability of the organization.
Councilmember Jerzak pointed out residents do want an increase in taxes. The Community
Development budget does not show an increase in services offered. Mr. Anderson stated the option
was considered in forming the budget. There is an overall decrease in the proposed budget,
primarily due to rearranging funding with the EDA. There is also a position open that will likely
be filled with a less-experienced person, which is less expensive for the City.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked how the reduced budget impacts the future viability of
the Deputy Director role. Mr. Anderson stated the position is still funded in the budget despite
being unfilled.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson noted she dislikes putting all of their eggs in one basket. Dr.
Edwards pointed out. Staff does take into consideration the succession of roles.
8/19/23
Page 6
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated it is vital to the budget to have a Staff member who
can build up development in the City and the necessary community relationships. Dr. Edwards
agreed that this is important, and Staff is working to build up those skills within current roles.
Councilmember Jerzak asked when the TIF and EDA budgets would be presented. Ms. Holm
stated the EDA budget will be presented in the future as it is not under the General Fund. The same
is true for TIF financials and other revenue.
Councilmember Jerzak asked what the plan was to handle the increase in commercial
development. Mr. Anderson pointed out a drastic increase in commercial development would
require temporary assistance in commercial inspections.
Mayor Pro Tem Butler asked what the process is for determining the use of unspent budget items,
such as the role of the Deputy Director. Dr. Edwards stated the budget does anticipate some
vacancy for the role. Any remaining funds are redistributed within the Department to cover funding
holes or stabilize under-performing revenue funds.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated according to the Charter, any rearrangement of
budgeted funds is under the purview of the Council. Dr. Edwards stated Staff could not operate if
that were the case, as operational changes are not presented to the Council. Councilmember
Lawrence-Anderson asked for Dr. Edwards to review the Charter.
Councilmember Jerzak stated it was not the time to discuss the Charter. However, the Council
needs to be informed of organizational changes. The current process is concerning.
Mr. Anderson concluded the budget is a work in progress, and Staff looks forward to feedback
from the Council and Commission.
Councilmember Jerzak asked if Mr. Anderson believes the Staffing is adequate to ensure
compliance throughout the City. Mr. Anderson stated the Staffing issues will likely be resolved by
filling the Manager position.
4b. PUBLIC WORKS
Director of Public Works Elizabeth Heyman continued the presentation. The mission of the
Brooklyn Center Public Works Department is to responsibly provide for the maintenance and
operations of City streets, parks, and municipal-owned buildings and grounds, as well as all aspects
of water, sewer, and stormwater operations in a quality and cost-effective manner. The Public
Works Department is comprised of six divisions.
Ms. Heyman showed the organizational chart for the Department. She then showed a table of full-
time employees funded by the general levy. The Staffing levels would remain the same from 2023
to 2024, with the full-time Staff number at 34.
8/19/23
Page 7
Mayor Pro Tem Butler asked if the lower-paid employees have been assessed to see if a raise is
needed in line with inflation. Ms. Heyman stated the City has worked with the union.
Dr. Edwards added the Equity and Human Resources Department is also working to review the
fairness of wages across the City.
Ms. Heyman explained the Administration/Engineering Division provides technical and
management services for infrastructure improvements, administration of the state aid street system,
traffic engineering, mapping, review of proposed developments and plats, preparation of special
assessments rolls, and general office and fieldwork services such as surveying, inspection and
providing public information.
Ms. Heyman stated the Street Maintenance and Traffic Control Division provides maintenance of
streets, sidewalks, and trails. The activities include patching, seal coating, crack sealing, sweeping,
minor sidewalk repair, streetscape maintenance, trail system maintenance and snow/ice control.
The Division also provides maintenance, replacement, and inventory of signage and pavement
markings and the operation and maintenance of traffic signals.
Ms. Heyman noted the Park Facilities Maintenance and Forestry Division provides maintenance
and repair of playground equipment, park shelter buildings, picnic shelters, athletic fields, tennis
courts, skating/hockey rinks, irrigation systems, bleachers/benches, restroom and dumpster
enclosures, park turf maintenance, park landscape and flower maintenance, litter pick-up,
collection of refuse, administers the Adopt-A-Park/Trail/Street program, manage gas and electric
service to shelters and park lights, and manages rental/service charges for portable restroom
facilities. As for the Forestry portion, Staff provides maintenance and reforestation of trees in
parks, boulevards, and other public lands. This fund provides for a Registered Tree Contractor
Program, support of the City's Diseased Tree Program and the services of a Certified Tree
Inspector.
Ms. Heyman added the Government Buildings Division provides for the ongoing cleaning,
maintenance and repair of all Government Buildings, including city hall, community center, city
garage, and fire station buildings and grounds. In addition, the Staff provides some maintenance
support for the police building, liquor stores, and Centerbrook Golf Course. These expenses are
charged directly to their respective funds.
Ms. Heyman pointed out there has been an increase in material needs and costs. For example,
winter is warmer and snowier, with more temperature variations. There is a need for more salt for
snow events, so there is a request in the budget for an additional 200 tons of salt. She showed a
chart with the increased need for salt and the price per ton over the recent years.
Ms. Heyman added there is also a need for critical replacements within the Central Garage for
sustainable operations. The budget requests a three percent increase in the Central Garage funding.
Ms. Heyman stated the budget proposal includes new initiatives. The purpose of the $130,500
proposal is to build out a City-wide beautification and litter prevention program. A City
Community Engagement Specialist would build a network of volunteers to host and participate in
8/19/23
Page 8
clean-up events throughout the year. This Staff member will also explore other programming,
educational tools, and marketing campaigns to aid in litter prevention. The role would also build
out the City's Public Art program. As for a financial impact, the request is for a $87,000 increase
in general levy funds and a $43,500 increase in Stormwater Utility funds. Ms. Heyman pointed
out that the proposal is an alternative to creating a sanitary department, costing $750,000.
Ms. Heyman added there is a proposal for seasonal worker talent attraction. The purpose of the
$70,077 proposal is to attract a larger pool of candidates to Public Works' seasonal worker
program, so the Department can continue to deliver key spring and summer services such as litter
clean up, garbage collection, mowing, pothole filling, and weed prevention at their usual
frequencies.
Ms. Heyman explained that, like many other entities, both locally and nationally, Public Works
has had difficulty finding people to fill seasonal positions. The Department typically hires 15-18
seasonal workers every spring; however, in early June of 2023, the Department had only hired 10
Staff. This proposal increases the starting hourly wage for seasonal workers from $16.97 to $20.00
and increases each subsequent salary step by a similar amount. Regarding financial impact, there
would be a $28,585 increase in operating funds and a $41,492 increase in Utility funds.
Ms. Heyman noted another operational innovation is considering the purchase of an asphalt
recycler. This $100,000 proposal aims to provide residents with more efficient street operations
and maintenance while minimizing the City's exposure to rising asphalt costs. An asphalt recycler
heats old chunks of pavement and recycles them into a product that can be used to fill potholes
and do other street repairs.
Ms. Heyman explained that producing a portion of asphalt in-house would make Public Works
more resilient in the face of climate change and allow Staff to fill potholes earlier in the spring
with a more durable product. Climate change has made Minnesota winters warmer and snowier,
with more temperature variations. Increased temperature variation in the winter means more
potholes in the spring, as pavement wears faster if it continually expands and contracts with
shifting temperatures, and more potholes mean higher asphalt needs. An asphalt recycler would
decrease the amount of asphalt the City would buy while minimizing exposure to rising asphalt
costs. The cost of asphalt increased from $75.00 per ton to $91.50 per ton in one year.
Ms. Heyman pointed out an asphalt recycler would give Public Works access to a more durable
pothole-filling product earlier in the spring season. Public Works must wait until the Saint Paul
asphalt plant opens in the spring to buy 'hot mix' – a durable asphalt product used for pothole
filling. Before the plant opens, Public Works only has access to 'cold mix,' an asphalt product that
can pop out of a pothole hours after application if pressure is misapplied. Most cities in the region
buy the hot mix from the Saint Paul plant. With the higher demand for asphalt due to temperature
variations, accessing hot mix in the spring has taken longer. An asphalt recycler would allow
Public Works to start filling potholes when the street ice clears.
Councilmember Jerzak asked if an asphalt recycler would have a return on investment and if other
cities are using a similar implement. Also, he asked if the City has the Staff and the expertise to
run the equipment or even the space to store the machine.
8/19/23
Page 9
Ms. Heyman stated there was a rough estimate of the investment return of the asphalt recycler
where the City would break even in five to 12 years. It depends on the amount of potholes and
other street maintenance efforts. Councilmember Jerzak pointed out that the change in technology
and the life span of the equipment is an unknown variable.
Ms. Heyman added the machine would be innovative in Minnesota, but cities in Michigan have
purchased the equipment. The machine can be operated in-house with existing Staff.
Commissioner Brown asked about the type of minerals that would be used. Ms. Heyman stated it
is just a piece of equipment and doesn't add anything to the streets beyond what it recycles.
Commissioner Brown asked what would happen to change the proposal from a nice-to-have to a
need-to-have request. Ms. Heyman stated it is hard to determine the future price of asphalt due to
high variability. However, there is a statewide need for more asphalt due to more and more
potholes.
Councilmember Jerzak stated equipment has gotten much more significant over time. There needs
to be consideration of long-term planning in terms of technological innovations and physical space
for storage. He suggested working with Metro Transit to use some of their storage facility.
Ms. Heyman stated Metro Transit is unwilling to give up storage space, even temporarily. She
previously recommended a capital planning study, and Staff is developing the presentation. The
Central Garage would be included in the assessment.
Councilmember Jerzak stated the Community Engagement Specialist is funded under the Office
of Community Prevention, Health and Safety. Also, public art was funded in the previous year
with a grant for a resident artist. Several coordinated efforts are already in place to promote
beautification, and the programming would fit better in another Department.
Ms. Heyman noted her agreement. Beautification is a focus of the Public Works Department.
Ideally, there would be a new Division for sanitation, which is impossible in the budget.
Ultimately, Public Works wants to support the role, even though it might not be within the same
Department. There is a need for collaboration across Departments to make individual
programming more successful.
Commissioner Moore pointed out an Arts Commission in the City without any members. Also,
several community organizations have adopted parks, and the Parks and Recreation Commission
is also committed to beautification. Beautification does not need to be handled by Public Works.
Commissioner Moore stated the $130,500 for the role is a lot of money. It is more than some
Directors are paid. It would fit better in the Office of Community Prevention, Health and Safety.
The community survey showed a preference for supporting public safety above all else.
8/19/23
Page 10
Commissioner Moore added there are proposals for community engagement across several
Departments. The Directors must collaborate for community engagement rather than the Public
Works Department taking on litter.
Councilmember Jerzak stated the Department has been struggling with graffiti. He suggested
surveillance efforts to mediate the property destruction. Dr. Edwards stated that the Staff has met
regarding park safety and is developing a plan. The cameras would likely be included in the Public
Safety Department budget.
Ms. Heyman added the cameras also require funding for monitoring and anticipated software costs
over the long run.
Ms. Heyman stated the $130,500 includes a full-time position with a $60,000 salary and benefits.
The proposal also includes funding for resources to do the work, such as a marketing campaign
and clean-up materials. She agreed the initiative would be a joint proposal between Ms. Turk, Mr.
Wiseman, and herself.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked for more information on the striping materials budget
line and the need to paint the crosswalks twice a year. Ms. Heyman stated the City is responsible
for maintaining crosswalks, even on County roads. Due to the high traffic on some roads, there is
a need to increase the painting frequency.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson noted a previous mention of making the crosswalks more
artistic. Dr. Edwards stated there was discussion about using curbs or public parks to promote
beautification during strategic planning. However, it didn't specifically include crosswalks.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson suggested street sweeping after the helicopter leaves fall
from the trees. Ms. Heyman stated the street sweeper is behind as it is. There would need to be
additional funding to add another sweep. The street sweeper is sent out almost daily, and additional
Staff or machinery would be needed to increase services.
Commissioner Moore asked if the line item for minor equipment undersupplies referring to
diverting $15,000 is for Mr. Wiseman's proposed position. Ms. Heyman stated there are multiple
shifts between the park's and facilities budgets to consider landscaping.
Commissioner Moore noted there is another moving of funds under repairs and maintenance. Ms.
Heyman stated the funds were moved because the budgets were consolidated.
Commissioner Moore asked what the financial impact of the seasonal worker talent attraction
proposal would be in 2025, such as benefits or cost of living increases. Ms. Heyman stated there
aren't any benefits because it is a seasonal position or because the cost of living increases. There
is a pay scale with seasonal steps for returning workers.
Commissioner Brown asked what initiatives are in place to address litter. Ms. Heyman stated there
are several efforts in place to counteract litter. However, there isn't a position specifically focused
on litter.
8/19/23

Mayor Pro Tem Butler asked if any playgrounds are slated for improvements in 2024. Ms. Heyman
stated a few playgrounds still need upgrades, but the details are in the Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP).
Mayor Pro Tem Butler noted she had a family member visit, and the visitor thought the Brooklyn
Boulevard improvements were attractive. Businesses need to be held accountable to care for their
properties. Ms. Heyman agreed that the Staff wants to collaborate with local businesses to promote
a more attractive community.
Mayor Pro Tem Butler called for a short break.
4c. FIRE DEPARTMENT & EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
City Manager Reggie Edwards introduced the item and invited Fire Chief Todd Berg to continue
the Staff presentation.
Chief Berg explained the mission of the Brooklyn Center Fire Department is to protect lives and
property from the adverse effects of fire and other dangerous conditions, whether manmade or acts
of nature. This will be accomplished through public education and a commitment to excellence in
training and superior customer service. The vision is a Department that promotes an environment
of tolerance and trust and is responsive to the community's needs and concerns, a Department
dedicated to continuous improvement in every detail of the services we provide, and a Department
recognized by the community and our peers as a model of excellence in providing fire protection,
EMS and related services.
Chief Berg stated The Brooklyn Center Fire Department is a progressive, full-service, paid-on-call
department that provides fire suppression, emergency medical response, public education
programs, and inspections of buildings within the community. The Department has an authorized
strength of 40 paid-on-call, though currently at 20, part-time firefighters who work out of two fire
stations, and employ a full-time Fire Chief, who also serves as the Fire Marshal, and Emergency
Management Coordinator, a full-time Deputy Fire Marshal, a full-time Fire Inspector/Public
Education Specialist, a full-time Fire Inspector/Community Liaison Specialist, and an
Administrative Coordinator.
Chief Berg noted the full-time Fire Inspector/Community Liaison Specialist is the newest position
in the Department. He showed the organizational chart for the Fire Department and a chart showing
Staffing numbers. He pointed out that next year's budget discussions will include requesting a full-
time overnight duty crew for two full-time positions.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked if the budget request is for 20 or 40 positions the
Department is authorized for. The pay for firefighters is entirely too low. The seasonal workers
are paid more than the firefighters.
Chief Berg explained that paid on-call firefighters have next to no experience. The Department
pulls applications twice per year, and the recruits get paid to go to school that the Department pays
8/19/23
Page 12
for. There would be substantial financial implications if the wages were to be raised, as all
firefighters would need a raise. Some funding available to the Department may be utilized to
reorganize the pay structure.
Chief Berg explained to achieve a safe, secure, stable community, the Department plans to provide
a 24-hour duty crew in 2024 to ease the burden of callbacks for paid-on-call Staff, continue to
increase the safety of the community by offering Home Safety Surveys, Hands-
Only CPR and installation of Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors, visit all elementary schools
during Fire Prevention Week and educate approximately 1200 school-aged children on fire safety,
continue Fire and Fall safety for older adults, continue to engage with the community in various
ways through positive interaction and education opportunities, inspect every building in the City
at least once every three years, and recruit five or more additional paid-on-call firefighters.
Referring to the proposed duty crew, there is a plan to apply for a grant to pay for additional salaries
and new gear for up to three years.
Dr. Edwards pointed out that Staff will present the potential funds for the Council. The funds are
not part of the current budget request.
Chief Berg added to promote inclusive community engagement in Brooklyn Center, the
Department plans to visit all elementary schools during Fire Prevention Week and educate
approximately 1200 school-aged children on fire safety, continue Fire and Fall safety for older
adults and continue to engage with the community in various ways through positive interaction
and education opportunities. Overall, the Department will continue to operate with the City's
values of Operational Excellence and Customer Intimacy while executing the priorities.
Chief Berg stated the budget highlights include implementing a 24-hour duty crew, celebrating the
75th anniversary of the Brooklyn Center Fire Department, and replacing gear and helmets for
firefighters. He showed a table with a summary of the proposed expenses. There is a 12 percent
increase overall, which would mean an increase of about $300,000 to the budget.
Chief Berg noted the Fire Department is still collecting data and considering the impacts of
COVID-19. An emergency preparedness plan reflection is underway, which is mandated every
five years. Chief Berg pointed out there are some issues with Staff overturn lately.
Mayor Pro Tem Butler asked if the change in weather has been discussed and considered by the
Department. Chief Berg confirmed emergency management meetings with other Fire and Police
Chiefs include discussion about the changes in weather and weather events. The discussions have
impacted the City's hazardous mitigation plans.
Councilmember Jerzak asked why the Department hasn't brought a proposal to the Council
regarding protecting the assets within the Fire Department. There needs to be a plan sooner rather
than later regarding paid-on-all Staff. Public safety is the primary concern shown by the
community survey. Commissioner Moore noted she had a similar concern as Councilmember
Jerzak.
8/19/23
Page 13
Commissioner Moore asked if the Chief, in his role as Fire Marshal, has assessed the burned-up
Target building to determine if it can be utilized or needs to be torn down. Chief Berg confirmed
the building had been toured multiple times. Staff is on the path to demolition, but there are some
hoops to jump through. Ultimately, the project would primarily fall under Mr. Anderson's purview.
Chief Berg stated the guidance from current grant funding regards one-time purchases rather than
ongoing costs. An essential item for the Department is fire training completed in EDA-owned
properties. It is also difficult for the Department to keep up with affording innovative technology.
Councilmember Jerzak asked if Chief Berg believes the Department has the necessary resources
to do its job. Chief Berg stated the hiring process takes longer than he would like. Thankfully, the
paid-on-call firefighters are willing to do much for the Department.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated the firefighters may be burned out under the current
structure. She suggested the Chief create a five-year plan to present to the Council regarding
building resources and Staff within the Department.
Dr. Edwards stated Staff has been discussing ways to increase funding to the Department
sustainably. The Department is not in an unhealthy place, but the additional five or more
firefighters would help the Department be more stable and sustainable.
4d. POLICE DEPARTMENT
City Manager Reggie Edwards introduced the item and invited Police Chief Kellace McDaniel to
continue the presentation.
Chief McDaniel explained the mission of the Police Department is to protect and serve in a manner
that preserves the public trust. As law enforcement and community stakeholder, the Department's
vision is commitment to helping to provide an exceptionally safe and secure community for all
residents, businesses, visitors and those who work within the City of Brooklyn Center with great
dignity and respect.
Chief McDaniel noted there are five divisions within the Police Department. The Administration
Division provides the overall leadership and management oversight of the Department. It ensures
that proper funds and resources are allocated as efficiently as possible to reduce crime and life-
safety issues.
Chief McDaniel stated the Investigative Division handles approximately 1,000 felony-level cases
that need an advanced level of police investigation beyond field-level information gathering. The
work includes advanced-level evidence recovery and applying those results to aid in suspect
identification, such as DNA and physical property evidence. It moves the investigation from
probable cause to beyond a reasonable doubt. The Division directly partners with Hennepin
County Attorney's Office, Hennepin County Child Protection Services, Hennepin County Adult
Protection, and Corner House Child Advocacy and Interview Services.
8/19/23
Page 14
Chief McDaniel stated the Patrol Division is the primary responder to 911 and emergency calls for
service. Each year, the police department handles nearly 37,000 public safety incidents, about 100
calls in 24 hours. The Patrol Division has three part-time units that work together with the patrol
officers to ensure that the best quality of service is delivered for each call: Domestic Abuse
Response Team (DART), the Emergency Operations Unit (EOU), and Hostage Negotiation Team
(HNT).
Chief McDaniel pointed out the Community Services Division has seven primary approaches to
building partnerships within the community and promoting a City-wide collaborative approach to
eliminating crime. The approaches include the Crime Prevention Program, Multicultural
Community Liaison and Joint Community Police Partnership (JCPP), Hennepin County
Embedded Social Worker, Juvenile Unit, Commercial Area Street Crimes Unit, Police Cadet
Program, and Crime Analysis.
Chief McDaniel added the Support Service Division prepares all police reports in a format that can
be used for review and dissemination of crime information and reports accurate crime data to the
state of Minnesota from the records that our agency generates. Each year, the Police Department
processes nearly 5,000 detailed reports, and the Division fulfills all data requests made by the
public, media, or other public safety partners.
Chief McDaniel showed the organizational chart for the Department. He noted he wants to update
the chart to reflect all divisions. There are several unfilled positions. As of August 19, 2023, the
Department has 37 active sworn officers and 34 total available sworn officers. Two officers are on
medical leave, while one is in field training. The 34 available officers include the Chief of Police,
three commanders, five sergeants, five detectives, and 20 patrol officers. In his year with the
Department, he has sworn in 11 officers.
Chief McDaniel showed a table with the Staffing levels. In 2023, the Department was authorized
for 65.64 personnel. The 2023 proposal is for 68.54 personnel. The total authorized sworn Staff is
48 without the grant-funded Auto Theft Officer. In 2022, three positions were frozen. In 2023, two
positions were unfrozen. In 2024, the third position is proposed to be unfrozen. There is a hope to
reallocate the positions of School Resource Officer, Auto Theft Officer, and Detective Trainee to
Patrol. There is also a request to add two sworn officers and one civilian Staff to help with evidence
and property.
Councilmember Jerzak asked how the three new positions relate to the Labor Study. Chief
McDaniel explained the proposal is only the first phase of implementing more recommendations
from the Labor Study.
Councilmember Jerzak pointed out that the Labor Study showed the need for additional civilian
Staff. Chief McDaniel stated an evidence and property civilian role is open. There is an opportunity
to cross-train.
Councilmember Jerzak asked if there is money in the budget to offer incentives for retention or
lateral hires. Chief McDaniel pointed out that several officers are working overtime and going
above and beyond for the Police Department. The Department has created a recruitment team
8/19/23
Page 15
which has generated several referrals. The lateral transfer requirements remain the same, and the
Department has obtained a few lateral transfers.
Councilmember Jerzak asked for the Chief's thoughts on the alternative response program. Chief
McDaniel stated for the alternative response team to work, there needs to be buy-in from both the
community and law enforcement. The Department supports the alternative response option. In an
ideal world, Chief McDaniel would oversee the program to ensure the most efficient
communication between sworn officers and alternative responders.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson pointed out that $324,500 was budgeted for overtime in
2023. The year-to-date number is just under $300,000. There could be almost double spent on
overtime than was budget. Chief McDaniel confirmed the Department is short-staffed, hence the
proposal for more officers.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked what the Department needs to help them recruit
personnel. For example, Brooklyn Center Community Service Officers make less than Brooklyn
Park Community Service Officers, and Brooklyn Park offers benefits to Community Service
Officers. Therefore, the Department loses Staff to Brooklyn Park.
Chief McDaniel stated he would speak with the recruitment team regarding Community Service
Officers. On the whole, Brooklyn Center offers similar pay and benefits as other Community
Service Officer programs. Brooklyn Center continues to be an excellent place to work, which is
an intangible benefit.
Dr. Edwards stated the City doesn't have the resources to match what Brooklyn Park offers. The
Staff has worked hard to promote retention and recruitment. Part of that effort shows up in the
overtime pay offerings.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson noted it was unclear in the budget where incentives for
officers would fall. Chief McDaniel stated more information on incentives is included in his
presentation on Departmental highlights.
Councilmember Jerzak asked if the Department has the necessary resources to become fully
staffed. There is a big difference between fully funded and fully staffed. There needs to be rewards
for people who step up to fill open shifts. Chief McDaniel agreed he would like to be fully staffed
and able to offer additional incentives to Staff.
Mayor Pro Tem Butler requested that Chief McDaniel complete his presentation as they were
already overtime.
Chief McDaniel explained the first goal for the Department in 2024 is to stabilize department
staffing levels and address diversity and equity in hiring. The action steps are to continue to offer
a lateral incentive but to include making it competitive with other agencies, continue to keep the
job application city and Post Board sites open longer to attract suitable solid applicants, expedite
the hiring process due to surrounding agencies competing with a faster process to attract applicants,
8/19/23
Page 16
go out to High Schools and Colleges to educate and attract individuals that still want a career in
Law Enforcement, and establish a team that is dedicated to creating new ways for recruitment.
Chief McDaniel noted another goal is to increase Staff training, especially in Crisis Intervention
Training (CIT), an additional form of de-escalation. They plan to incorporate Diversity Training
into the annual in-service curriculum, increase staff knowledge and training related to crisis
intervention, educate the community with Public Service Announcements (PSAs) at community
events and or speaking engagements, and ensure that Staff is up-to-date on modern technology as
there are frequent changes which would include, computers in squads, report writing, radio
protocols, internal/external communication.
Chief McDaniel stated the next goal for 2024 is to increase neighborhood engagement. The
Department plans to engage with local watch captains to address neighborhood issues and promote
City resources, continue to host small neighborhood area meetings with the assistance of City
funds, continue to partner with other departments to continue to come up with response plans in
emergencies and to create a Community Engagement Team to help build a trusting relationship
between the community and the Police Department.
Chief McDaniel added the last goal is to increase transparency in the Brooklyn Center Police
Department. The Department plans to implement a department data dashboard on the City website,
continue to reinitiate and expand department social media accounts and utilize other social media
outlets to promptly address incidents to the public and City Council.
Chief McDaniel pointed out several budget highlights, such as new technology for investigations
to stay up-to-date, camera trailers, additional policing equipment, drone technology, starting up a
K-9 program, and increased police personnel and recruitment.
Chief McDaniel showed a slide with a summary of expenses for the proposed Police Department
budget. The proposed budget increase is 9.36 percent, most dedicated to personnel.
Mayor Pro Tem Butler noted the City is authorized for 28 officers currently, but there is a request
for additional personnel and another detective. There are currently 20 officer positions filled. The
current ask would require 12 additional officers, but it seems unlikely to recruit and train 12
officers in one year. Therefore, it seems fiscally irresponsible. Nonetheless, she would like to add
a detective to help with investigations.
Chief McDaniel stated the Department needs the three additional officers that are requested. Also,
he is not asking to add all 12 officers simultaneously. There is a plan to add a few officers each
year over the next couple of years, which is more feasible for the budget.
Councilmember Jerzak suggested putting community outreach personnel in each sector. There
could be an opportunity for mentorship by senior officers. Also, the one-time purchase of
additional equipment will support law enforcement responsibilities without spending much money
over time.
8/19/23
Page 17
Chief McDaniel stated the neighborhood captains provide a lot of support throughout the sectors,
but he agreed it would be ideal to have dedicated officers for each sector. He added that equipment,
such as the camera trailers, significantly impacts the community at a relatively low cost. There is
a request for two cameras, although the City would benefit from more.
Councilmember Kragness asked if there is a recommendation from Chief McDaniel regarding the
grant for public safety dollars. Chief McDaniel stated some of it would be used to start up K -9,
and most of it would be used to promote retention within the Police Department. Some of it would
also go to upgrade the evidence room and support the camera trailers' cost.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked if cameras in the park would fall under the Parks and
Recreation Department or a public safety entity. Chief McDaniel st ated the City has a contract
with a camera business. The cameras are placed strategically in cooperation with the Investigations
Division. He agreed additional cameras would be beneficial for the City.
Commissioner Moore stated Crystal has had an excellent program for Community Service
Officers, including benefits, and they are smaller than Brooklyn Center. Chief McDaniel agreed
Crystal has a vital Community Service Officer (CSO) program, and he has met with their Police
Chief regarding CSOs. Commissioner Moore explained her experience with serving on the Crystal
City Council showed the importance of a strong CSO feeder program.
Commissioner Moore asked if there are currently 10 CSOs. Chief McDaniel stated the number is
skewed because there are varying hours for CSOs and some are returning to school. Commissioner
Moore added a significant increase in stray animals in the community. That is yet another reason
to add more Community Service Officers.
Councilmember Jerzak said he didn't hear anything about the increase in LGA money. Dr. Edwards
explained there is an increase in LGA, and half of that money will go into the general fund and
half into the Capital Improvement Fund.

CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS
City Manager Reggie Edwards pointed out some Councilmembers are interested in moving up
Work Session Item 3. Resolution Amendment - Due to the lengthy discussion, the Daunte Wright
and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Act.
Mayor Graves asked if the other items on the Work Session are time-sensitive. Dr. Edwards

MISCELLANEOUS
DISCUSSION WITH BROOKLYN CENTER COMMUNITY SCHOOLS
Dr. Edwards explained he has a monthly meeting with Superintendent Baker. He suggested
8/28/23 -2- DRAFT
scheduling a joint meeting between Brooklyn Center Community Schools (BCCS) and the
Council. The purpose would be to build a strategic partnering relationship and to share strategic
directions. The hope is to establish scheduled reoccurring joint meetings between the two elected
bodies. The proposed joint meeting is on Monday, October 23, from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Mayor Graves agreed it was a good idea, and the meetings have been successful. A quarterly
meeting could work.
Councilmember Butler agreed a quarterly meeting would be beneficial. She pointed out the
meeting time would require her to leave work early and create a very long meeting. Dr. Edwards
explained the School Board meets at the same time as the Council, and the timing would coincide
with the School Board’s Work Session time.
Councilmember Jerzak noted there are four school districts represented in Brooklyn Center. He
asked why the Council wouldn’t meet with all of the districts.
Mayor Graves stated the City has had a stronger relationship with BCCS because they only serve
Brooklyn Center while the other districts serve many cities.
Councilmember Jerzak suggested Staff reach out to the other districts to see i f there is interest on
their end. He noted his agreement with Councilmember Butler concerning the timing of meetings
scheduled for one evening. He requested the agendas remain short.
Dr. Edwards confirmed he would reach out to all of the superintendents. He noted it could be
beneficial to meet with all four districts simultaneously rather than scheduling numerous additional
meetings for the Council.
Councilmember Kragness noted she looks forward to meeting with local districts and will make it
work to attend.
There was consensus by the Council to schedule the proposed meeting with BCCS on Monday,
October 23, 2023, from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
DISCUSSION OF WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEMS AS TIME PERMITS
CONCEPT REVIEW FOR 6010 EARLE BROWN DRIVE AND DISCUSSION ON
POTENTIAL CHANGES TO MX-B DISTRICT TO ALLOW FOR PLACES OF
RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY
City Planner Ginny McIntosh explained City Staff has communicated with Trinity International
Fellowship, a non‐denominational ministry based out of Liberia, who has expressed interest in
purchasing 6010 Earle Brown Drive, which has been home to MinMor Industries since 2008.
MinMor provides print, design, and manufacturing services and primarily works in the printing,
packaging, and promotions industries. The property has been on the market for a few years now.
8/28/23 -3- DRAFT
Ms. McIntosh noted that the City Staff and the architect working with Trinity International
Fellowship held numerous conversations surrounding the intended use of the Subject Property and
potential impacts on the overarching MX‐B District. Numerous concerns and considerations were
outlined as part of the discussions. Ultimately, the architect, in conversation with Trinity
International Fellowship, requested that the City Council weigh in on the proposal in the form of
a concept review work session.
Ms. McIntosh stated the concept review process is an opportunity for the City Council to review a
development concept before a formal proposal from an applicant, provide comments, ask
questions, and indicate whether or not the City would generally be open to the project. These also
provide insight to City Staff and the applicant regarding the City Council’s level of interest and
any specific concerns related to the project.
Ms. McIntosh added concept reviews are considered advisory and non‐binding to the City and
applicant. No formal action can be taken at a work session, and the Council is not being asked to
vote on the proposal. If the applicant proceeds, they are subject to the whole City review process.
Ms. McIntosh pointed out the subject property was initially approved as an approximately 20,000-
square-foot bank and drive‐thru in 1988. It was zoned C2 (Commerce) District, allowing financial
institutions and office buildings and providing 118 on‐site parking spaces.
Ms. McIntosh stated Trinity International Fellowship notes an existing membership of between
180 and 250 members since its chapter opened in 2018 and intends to purchase the property as a
sanctuary for services, gathering and meeting spaces, spaces for youth ministry, a food shelf to
assist those in need and offices for ministry staff and community outreach—plans for a multi‐phase
expansion plan towards Highway 100 to accommodate future membership growth.
Ms. McIntosh noted that the City Staff reviewed the provided narrative and plans. The initial phase
would accommodate a 1,200-square-foot sanctuary, stage, bookstore, food shelf, office space, and
group meeting rooms. Future phasing would again provide a dedicated food shelf, book store,
pastoral offices, group meeting rooms, classrooms, basement dedicated to children’s play area,
nursery, and classrooms, and an expanded 5,300‐square foot sanctuary and stage. Ms. McIntosh
showed a proposed phase floor plan.
Ms. McIntosh stated assuming a membership of 250 and parking calculated under “assembly” use,
and without consideration for additional staffing, a minimum of 84 parking spaces are required. If
the same calculation was used, the Fellowship could only grow by less than 100 members before
minimum parking would no longer be met on‐site. If calculating parking using building occupant
load, the existing building assumes 426 occupants; this would require 142 on‐site parking spaces,
24 spaces short.
Ms. McIntosh added if calculating parking using the building occupant load, the proposed future
building expansion would more than double the occupant load to 928 occupants. This would
8/28/23 -4- DRAFT
require a minimum of 310 on‐site parking spaces, 192 spaces short. There are concerns
surrounding ingress/egress as Subject Property assumes traffic concentration at the 4‐way stop
intersection of Summit and Earle Brown Drive. There is consideration of NSP easement along
Highway 100 and building setbacks if expansion occurs.
Ms. McIntosh pointed out “Places for Religious Assembly” permitted through approval of a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in the R1 (Low-Density Residential), R2 (Medium Low-Density
Residential), C (Commerce Service/Office), and I (General Industry) Districts—a majority of
existing religious assembly users located in R1 District.
Ms. McIntosh explained the City reviewed options. First, re-zoning was considered, but it is not
an option due to adjacent zoning. Another option was to amend the existing MX‐B District to allow
for “Places for Religious Assembly,” likely through a CUP process. There are currently 38
properties under this zoning designation. The district is intended to “accommodate for a mix of
business and light industrial uses, which supporting retail/service uses.”
Ms. Mcintosh noted the uses currently permitted under MX‐B include medical/health uses, animal
hospitals, commercial animal establishments, brewpubs, micro‐wineries, micro‐distilleries, office,
automobile/truck repair and service, manufacturing, assembly, processing of products, artisan
production, wholesale, and business/trade/post‐secondary schools.
Ms. McIntosh added assembly uses, such as places of religious assembly, tend to have higher
parking demands than other types of uses, such as industrial, which typically have lower parking
demands relative to the overall square footage of the building. As for overall traffic
flow/circulation, many current MX‐B properties appear to be off-loop roads or cul‐de‐sacs. There
is a potential to trigger building “change of use,” which requires additional considerations such as
installing panic hardware, fire separation/protection measures, and installing an elevator.
Ms. McIntosh noted the Council is asked to consider a concept proposal for 6010 Earle Brown
Drive, which would ultimately require an ordinance amendment to the MX‐B (Business Mixed‐
Use) District to allow for places of religious assembly and provide feedback.
Ms. McIntosh pointed out some considerations, including if aspects of the site layout, architecture,
or form of the presented site plan for 6010 Earle Brown Drive that are concerning to the Council,
if the development plan in keeping with the City’s future land use plan and long‐range vision for
the area, and if the proposed amendment to the MX‐B (Business Mixed‐Use) District forward the
City’s strategic priorities.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked what tax base Ms. McIntosh was referencing in the
memo. Ms. McIntosh noted a number of uses fall under tax-exempt, such as cemeteries or religious
gatherings. The property currently generates about $13,000 in taxes for the City. The burden is
shifted to residents, and the City doesn’t necessarily lose that money.
8/28/23 -5- DRAFT
Councilmember Jerzak agreed parking is a concern, and there would be considerations of
implications on sprinkler systems. While he welcomes the church and its mission into the
community, it doesn’t fit the proposed site.
Mayor Graves asked how long the site had been empty for. Ms. McIntosh stated the propert y has
been for sale for a few years.
Mayor Graves asked if there is a different parking formula depending on the use of the space as a
religious gathering place. Ms. McIntosh stated she assumed an assembly use for the space, which
assumes three people per car.
Councilmember Jerzak noted concerns about the low amount of growth available in the space.
Nyenatee Davis, the pastor at Trinity International Fellowship, introduced himself. He stated the
parking concerns would balance out due to service times. The congregation has already been
meeting since 2019, and they love the diversity of Brooklyn Center. They have done a lot of
community service in the City and hope to find a permanent meeting space.
Councilmember Kragness asked how many members the congregation currently has. Mr. Davis
stated there are about 180 participants, but usually 100 people at each event. The numbers include
children.
Mayor Graves asked if the congregation had vans or buses. Mr. Davis stated they don’t have any
vehicles but are interested in purchasing a bus to help serve the community.
Mayor Graves stated the benefits of the church easily outweigh any issues with the tax base. Her
primary concerns are parking and retrofitting an industrial building. Ms. McIntosh stated most
users would have a similar issue retrofitting the space. The issue is the cost rather than the
conversion itself.
Mr. Davis stated any bus would be housed at a different location, which wouldn’t impact parking.
As for retrofitting, they have a lot of money saved to make the space work for their church.
Councilmember Kragness and Councilmember Butler noted their support of the concept.
Mayor Graves thanked the applicants for their interest in Brooklyn Center.

CALL TO ORDER INFORMAL OPEN FORUM
The Brooklyn Center City Council met in Informal Open Forum called to order by Mayor April
Graves at 6:45 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Mayor April Graves and Councilmembers Marquita Butler, Kris Lawrence-Anderson, Dan Jerzak,
and Teneshia Kragness. Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, Assistant City
Manager/City Clerk Barb Suciu, Director of Public Works Elizabeth Heyman, Planner and Zoning
Administrator Ginny McIntosh, and City Attorney Jason Hill.
Mayor April Graves opened the meeting for the purpose of Informal Open Forum.
Lori B. stated there is extreme harm occurring in the city. Silence is violence. There was hope of
creating a community-based review board to increase transparency within the Police Department
and to reduce racial profiling. The city is reverting to getting tough on crime and promoting the
use of force.
Lori B. stated a close friend from Africa was staying with her last November. He was restrained
and tazed in her home for refusing a consent search. She has video footage showing that her friend
was entirely compliant otherwise. Lori B. filed a complaint, but it was considered not sustained.
Therefore, Officers Billman and Stein were absolved of any wrongdoing.
Lori B. noted she stopped to help a Liberian woman with a mental health crisis. Four patrol cars
were there, and officers held the woman down on the ground. Officer Pastor threatened to arrest
Lori B. by offering to help the woman. Officer Stein was also present. Lori B. added a Kenyan
resident of Brooklyn Center confided in her about the racism he experienced at the hands of Officer
Stein.
Lori B. stated just yesterday, she witnessed a black woman experiencing a mental health crisis.
There ended up being more than six police cars and more than ten officers responding to the event.
The woman's pants had fallen during the interaction, but law enforcement continued to hit her.
Under Travis' Law, a mental health worker should have responded first.
8/28/23 -2- DRAFT
Lori B. explained the Brooklyn Center Police Department is still getting paid to harass and mistreat
people of color and immigrants in Brooklyn Center. She noted her concern with rewriting the
original resolution. She added it would be ineffective for an alternative response team to be housed
within the Police Department. The fourth anniversary of Kobe Heisler's death is coming up soon.
Mayor Graves asked for speakers to keep their comments under two minutes.
Julie B. stated she was shocked and disheartened to hear that cameras had already been purchased
and placed around the community. There was no community engagement in the decision. Brooklyn
Center has a large population of immigrants who left their homes due to government surveilling
and mistreatment. There was no transparency in the process, nor was there any community input.
Julie B. noted she does not feel any safer with cameras around, and even the recording of the
Council meetings makes people uncomfortable. The surveillance makes many community
members feel unsafe entering the space with the Council.
Julie B. added she has had to increase her heart medication three times in recent months because
engaging with the Brooklyn Center City Council has triggered her.
Katie W. noted her agreement with the comments made by Lori B. and Julie B. The cameras are
unnecessary at events or parks where children are playing.
Katie W. stated she could pick up her son's items, including his clothing and car. She met with
Police Chief McDaniel to address some of her concerns. After picking up her son's car, she learned
that the car was detailed. She had planned to donate the car to a civil rights museum in its original
condition, and law enforcement was aware of that plan. Nonetheless, the car was cleaned. She was
not allowed to clean up her son's blood or be present in the car as her son had left it.
Katie W. added one of her son's shoes was missing, which is disheartening. The city is not releasing
the information about where the car was cleaned to see if they have the shoe.
Katie W. pointed out the Implementation Committee has worked tirelessly over the last two years,
and their recommendations are not being considered. It is inappropriate for the resolution to be
rewritten. It should be looked at consistently over time as an inspiration for bettering Brooklyn
Center.
James E. commended the Council for the work that has already been done. It is time to limit how
people come into Brooklyn Center rather than push people out. The city's position between
Brooklyn Park and Minneapolis is an important consideration. The city can be pro-community and
accepting of law enforcement by implementing a better strategy. Also, the city should bring a
lawsuit against Walmart because it was a divestment. James E. stated that food, entertainment, and
workforce housing can help the city choose how people enter the city.

Marquis Dwell-Armstrong noted he was involved in a car accident on the corner of Girard and
54th. His arm was broken, and the other driver was okay. There are no stop signs at the intersection.
Some neighbors came out to help, and law enforcement also responded. He and the other driver
were working well together.
Marquis explained when law enforcement arrived, the first officer yelled at him to sit down on the
ground. He didn't end up sitting on the ground because it hurt his arm more, and the officer yelled
at him again. The officer was aggressive for no reason. The officer also yelled at the other driver
when she came to check on Marquis Dwell-Armstrong.
Marquis Dwell-Armstrong stated the neighbors told him there were consistent accidents at the
intersection. The additional officers who arrived finally confirmed an ambulance was on the way.
The officers agreed there are regular accidents at the intersection. Marquis Dwell-Armstrong
suggested that stop signs be added to the intersection.
Devlin Wubbena stated the street near his home is being redone. The street fell into disrepair due
to neglect. There is a highly high assessment of his property, even though he has been paying taxes
at his home consistently for over 50 years.
Mr. Wubbena added he and his neighbor have had issues with water as well. The city did something
with the water without warning the residents. For three days, water ran from his spicket, through
his home, and out to the street. The neighbor stated her recent water bill was over $3,000.
Mayor Graves asked the two commenters to leave their name and contact information with the
City Clerk so Staff can follow up on the concern.
Councilmember Jerzak moved, and Councilmember Butler seconded to close the Informal Open
Forum at 7:01 p.m.
Motion passed unanimously.

8. PUBLIC HEARINGS
8a. AN ORDINANCE 2023-05; AMENDING CHAPTER 19 OF THE BROOKLYN
CENTER CITY CODE TO PROHIBIT THE USE OF CANNABIS AND HEMP
PRODUCTS IN PUBLIC PLACES
City Manager Reggie Edwards introduced the item and invited City Attorney Jason Hill to make
the staff presentation.
City Attorney Jason Hill explained the Cannabis Act legalized the possession and use of cannabis
flower and cannabis products on August 1, 2023, meaning personal possession and use are
generally no longer illegal under Minnesota law. The penalty established for using cannabis or
hemp in public is a petty misdemeanor, as provided for in the Cannabis Act. The Cannabis Act
does not specifically allow for use in public places as a misdemeanor or other more severe penalty.
The city may, however, establish a fine for a petty misdemeanor offense. State statute allows a
petty misdemeanor to carry a fine of up to $300. Attached is a draft ordinance that includes a fee
of up to $200, but the Council may choose a different amount.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked if signage in the parks has been considered. Dr.
Edwards stated that the Staff is developing an education program regarding cannabis, which
includes signage discussions.
8/28/23 -8- DRAFT
Mayor Graves explained she doesn't support criminalizing something that has been decriminalized.
Alcohol is far worse than cannabis.
Councilmember Butler moved, and Councilmember Kragness seconded to open the Public
Hearing.
Motion passed unanimously.
Kevin S. stated today's marijuana users are hallucinogenic. Secondhand smoke is also unsafe. At
a minimum, wherever smoking cigarettes is not allowed, cannabis smoking should also not be
allowed. For example, there doesn't need to be marijuana smoke at playgrounds.
Lori B. noted her agreement with Mayor Graves.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson moved, and Councilmember Jerzak seconded to close the
Public Hearing.
Motion passed unanimously.
Councilmember Jerzak moved, and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to adopt
ORDINANCE NO. 2023-05; an ordinance amending Chapter 19 of the Brooklyn Center City Code
to Prohibit the Use of Cannabis and Hemp Products in Public Places.
Mayor Graves voted against the same. Motion passed.
9. PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS
9a. RESOLUTION 2023-80; REGARDING PLANNING COMMISSION
APPLICATION NO. 2023-003 SUBMITTED BY THE CITY OF BROOKLYN
CENTER FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO INSTALL A NEW PUBLIC
USE DYNAMIC MESSAGING SIGN (6301 SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY)
Dr. Edwards introduced the item and invited Planner and Zoning Administrator Ginny McIntosh
to continue the Staff presentation.
Planner and Zoning Administrator Ginny McIntosh noted there are separate motions for each
location of the proposed signs, but all requests will be covered in one presentation. Staff requests
approval of conditional use permits to replace and convert three existing freestanding signs to
allow for new freestanding signage with Dynamic Messaging (DMS). The proposed locations for
replacement are the City Hall and Community Center, the West Fire Station, and the East Fire
Station. The requests are part of a broader request by the City of Brooklyn Center to provide up‐
to‐date community messaging and opportunities to reach the broader Brooklyn Center community.
No off‐premise advertising is permitted by DMS display.
Ms. McIntosh explained provisions for public use signage under Chapter 35 (Unified Development
8/28/23 -9- DRAFT
Ordinance) of the City Code allow for one freestanding sign not to exceed 36 square feet in area
and no more than 10 feet in all Districts where public uses are allowed, an additional freestanding
sign where the use abuts two more streets, or one freestanding sign not to exceed 72 square feet in
area and 15 feet in height.
Ms. McIntosh stated generally, no sign may project over or beyond the property line unless the
supporting column(s) of a freestanding sign do not materially impede vision between a height of
2 ½ and 7 ½ feet above the centerline grade of the street, said sign shall be set back a minimum of
10 feet from the street ROWline. Also, public-use DMS signage is required to meet specific
minimum standards under Section 35‐6611.
Ms. McIntosh pointed out that in the case of Public Use DMS signage, additional conditions are
outlined under Section 35‐6611 of the City Code. DMS is permitted on a freestanding sign aligned
perpendicular to the adjacent arterial or collector street as specified in the City's Comprehensive
Plan. The message must remain constant for at least five seconds. The sign may not remain blank
for longer than one second between message changes. The area may not exceed an equivalent of
50% of each sign face area. Also, the sign shall be located no closer than 50 feet from any
residential dwelling.
Ms. McIntosh stated signs within 500 feet of a residential dwelling that faces a residence shall
display a static message between the hours of 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. The sign may not flash, blink,
rotate, spin, contain full motion video, or create any other distraction to motorists. If the sign
malfunctions, it must automatically turn black.
Ms. McIntosh added lighting intensity shall not exceed 5,000 nits in the daytime and 500 nits at
nighttime, as outlined in Table 35‐6611(b), which outlines the DMS Sign Measurement Distance
for Brightness. Lastly, the sign must have dimming technology that automatically adjusts
brightness in direct correlation with ambient light conditions. Brightness shall not exceed 0.3-foot
candles above ambient light as measured from the preset distance depending on the sign size and
as indicated in the above‐referenced table.
Ms. McIntosh stated the conditional use will be in accordance with the general objectives, or with
any specific objective, of the City's Comprehensive Plan and this UDO. The establishment,
maintenance, or operation of the conditional use will promote and enhance the general public
welfare. It will not be detrimental to or endanger public health, safety, morals, or comfort . The
conditional use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate
vicinity for the purpose already permitted, nor substantially diminish or impair property values
within the neighborhood.
Ms. McIntosh noted the establishment of conditional use cannot impede the normal and orderly
development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. Adequate
measures must be or will be taken to provide ingress, egress, and parking so designated as to
minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. Impacts such as noise, hours of activity, and
exterior lighting need to have been sufficiently addressed to mitigate negative impacts on nearby
uses, and the conditional use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of
the district in which it is located.
8/28/23 -10- DRAFT
Ms. McIntosh explained a public hearing notice was submitted to the Brooklyn Center Sun Post
for publication in the July 27, 2023 edition, notices were published on the City website, and
notifications were mailed to all property owners and residents within 350 feet of each property
under consideration for the installation of a Public Use Dynamic Messaging Sign—no public
comments received in advance of or at August 10, 2023, public hearings. Also, there was a
unanimous recommendation (4‐0) by the Planning Commission to the City Council for all 3 DMS
CUP requests.
Ms. McIntosh showed a photo of the existing sign at the Community Center and the proposed new
sign. The new 69-square-foot freestanding sign with DMS would be nine feet high. The location
is generally the exact location but approximately 5 feet closer to Shingle Creek Parkway with
consideration of potential expansion of the building.
Ms. McIntosh showed the current sign at the West Fire Station and the proposed sign. The new
sign is a 70.5 square-foot freestanding sign with DMS and is nine feet tall. The replacement sign
was installed in approximately the same location outside the designated Clear View Triangle.
Ms. McIntosh also showed a photo of the current sign at the East Fire Station and the proposed
sign. The new sign is a 69.75 square-foot freestanding sign with DMS and is nine feet tall. The
replacement sign was installed in approximately the same location outside the designated Clear
View Triangle.
Councilmember Jerzak moved, and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to adopt
RESOLUTION NO. 2023-80; a resolution approving Planning Commission Application No.
2023-003 for a Conditional Use Permit to install a new public use Dynamic Messaging Sign
(DMS) at 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway, based upon the findings of fact and submitted plans, and
as amended by the conditions of approval in the resolution.
Motion passed unanimously.

2023-005 for a Conditional Use Permit to install a new public use Dynamic Messaging Sign
(DMS) at 6500 Dupont Avenue North, based upon the findings of fact and submitted plans, and as
amended by the conditions of approval in the resolution.
Motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Graves asked if any other locations were considered. Ms. McIntosh stated no other
locations were considered.
Dr. Edwards pointed out the three properties are strategically located throughout the city, so they
didn't discuss additional locations.
10. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS
10a. AN ORDINANCE 2023-06; AMENDING CHAPTER 23 OF THE BROOKLYN
CENTER CITY CODE REGARDING THE LICENSING OF THE SALE OF
EDIBLE CANNABINOID PRODUCTS WITHIN THE CITY
Dr. Edwards introduced the item and invited City Attorney Jason Hill to present the Staff.
City Attorney Jason Hill explained with the cannabis legalization, there were a few significant
changes to Minnesota Statutes, section 151.72, which legalized low-potency hemp THC edibles.
Eventually, likely during the first quarter of 2025, retailers will be licensed with the State. The
timeline keeps getting pushed back.
Mr. Hill noted current State regulation includes an allowance for topicals, an age restriction of 21
years of age, on-site consumption restrictions, testing requirements, and labeling and packaging
requirements. Sellers must register with the State, and age verification is required upon sale.
Current registrations include smoke shops, restaurants, bars, liquor stores, cannabinoid stores,
breweries, distilleries, nail salons, barber shops, pet food stores, and veterinarians. Other than
beverages, persons must ensure that all THC edibles are displayed behind a checkout counter
where the public is not permitted or in a locked case.
Mr. Hill pointed out that Minnesota Statutes section 151.72 is repealed effective March 1, 2025.
At that point, THC edibles will only be able to be sold with a license from the State. Until then,
retailers can be regulated by the city. Cities have the option to do nothing, adopt a licensing regime,
or prohibit it altogether.
8/28/23 -12- DRAFT
Mr. Hill stated the proposed ordinance is modeled after the city's tobacco licensing ordinance. It
requires a business to obtain a City-issued license before offering THC edibles for sale. It
establishes one licensing period effective from the date of issuance from March 1, 2025, or until
the State issues a license for selling lower-potency hemp edibles, whichever comes first.
Mr. Hill noted the licensing ordinance exempts edible cannabinoid products that only contain
cannabinoids from the license requirement. On-site consumption may only occur at businesses
licensed for on-sale liquor consumption. Also, the business cannot be within 500 feet of a "youth-
oriented facility." Mr. Hill stated alternatives to the THC licensing ordinance are to allow licenses
only for exclusive liquor stores and tobacco shops and amend the distance restrictions.
Mr. Hill stated the options are to adopt the proposed ordinance or to do nothing and allow the State
to continue regulation.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked if compliance check requirements would be included
in the ordinance. She asked if there would be a penalty for selling without a license. Mr. Hill stated
there would be similar penalties for anyone operating without a required license in the city.
Councilmember Kragness stated there needs to be a penalty if they are going to go through the
effort of making an ordinance. Councilmember Jerzak noted his agreement with Councilmember
Kragness.
Mayor Graves asked if the original summary of the State statute is currently in place or will be in
place in 2025. Mr. Hill confirmed the summary of the State statute reflects what is currently in
place.
Mayor Graves asked if the State statute restricts proximity to schools. Mr. Hill stated there is no
proximity provision. Mayor Graves stated she is only interested in licensing to prohibit proximity
to schools.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson noted that tobacco licensing was discussed and implemented
in 2014 for similar proximity concerns.
Mr. Hill noted the motion is only for a first reading.
Councilmember Kragness moved, and Councilmember Jerzak seconded to approve the first
reading of an Ordinance amending Chapter 23 of the Brooklyn Center City Code regarding the
licensing of the sale of edible cannabinoid products within the city and to hold a public hearing on
September 11, 2023.
Motion passed unanimously.
10b. AN ORDINANCE 2023-09; AMENDMENTS TO THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT
WITH XCEL ENERGY IMPLEMENTING AN ELECTRIC FRANCHISE FEE ON
NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY, A MINNESOTA CORPORATION,
8/28/23 -13- DRAFT
D/B/A EXCEL ENERGY, ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS FOR PROVIDING
ELECTRIC SERVICE WITHIN CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
Dr. Edwards introduced the item and invited Director of Public Works Elizabeth Heyman.
Director of Public Works Elizabeth Heyman explained to connect properties to gas, electric,
telephone, etc.; companies must run distribution lines on the public right of way. Communities
negotiate franchise agreements with utility companies to identify the conditions under which those
companies can use public property to provide service. Utility companies pay a fee to cities in
exchange for using the public right of way. Brooklyn Center collects fees from Xcel Energy and
Centerpoint Energy, which are around $747,000 annually. Revenue is posted to the Street
Reconstruction Fund.
Ms. Heyman noted the existing agreement set to expire on December 8, 2023. The proposed
agreement will not change fee amounts, nor will it limit the city's ability to use franchise fees as a
replacement for special assessments in the future. The new agreement allows the city to revise or
pursue additional fees in the future. The new agreement will run for 20 years.
Ms. Heyman stated the item is only for a first hearing, and a public hearing would be held on
September 11, 2023. If approved from there, there would be a review by the Public Utilities
Commission.
Councilmember Kragness asked if the city would be making more money in franchise fees with
the new agreement. Ms. Heyman stated the new agreement would allow the city to negotiate future
franchise fees. The fee structure hasn't been discussed yet. There is a plan for future discussions
regarding increased fees to cover special assessments.
Councilmember Kragness asked if the city is earning more money from the agreement by offering
exclusive rights to the vendor. Scott Johnson, representative of Xcel Energy, stated the city
determines the fee percentage, which is passed along to the customers after approval from Xcel
Energy. The generated revenue depends on the population and residents' usage of the services, but
it is relatively stable.
Ms. Heyman noted there was an error in the Council packet with the table of fees. It will be updated
before the public hearing.
Mayor Graves moved, and Councilmember Jerzak seconded to approve the first reading of an
ordinance no: 2023-09, implementing an electric franchise fee on Northern States Power
Company, a Minnesota corporation, D/B/A Xcel Energy, its successors and assigns for providing
electric service within the City of Brooklyn Center.
Motion passed unanimously.
Councilmember Jerzak moved, and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to approve the
first reading of an ordinance no: 2023-08, granting to Northern States Power Company, A
8/28/23 -14- DRAFT
Minnesota Corporation, D/B/A Xcel Energy, its successors and assigns, permission to construct,
operate, repair and maintain in the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, an electric distribution
system and transmission lines, including necessary poles, lines, fixtures and appurtenances, for the
furnishing of electric energy to the city, its inhabitants, and others, and to use the public grounds
and public ways of the city for such purposes.
Motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Graves asked if the agreement has any standards for the vendor to retrieve their old wiring
and equipment. Mr. Hill stated there are a few sources of authority addressing the issue. The
agreement and the Code have requirements for vendors regarding maintenance. Mayor Graves
stated she would like to know more about the process to hold companies accountable for old wiring
and the like.
Mr. Johnson noted there is abandonment language included in the permitting process Xcel has to
abide by.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson thanked Mr. Johnson for Xcel's work on the pollinator
project.

2. Resolution Amendment - The Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and
Violence Prevention Act and Work Session Item 3. Review and Discussion of a Community
Benefits Agreement Template and Equity Development Framework, Draft Appendices to the
Opportunity Site Master Plan.
City Manager Reggie Edwards explained the purpose of the presentation is to create time for the
City Council/EDA to review and discuss the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock‐Heisler Community
Safety and Violence Act. He noted he envisioned a few sessions to complete a robust discussion.
There was a brief recess due to technology issues.
8/28/23 -2- DRAFT
Dr. Edwards shared a quote from Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the daughter of Robert Kennedy,
from the March on Washington, "Sad that people had to die and that violence moved people. Sad
that my dad, uncle, and children had to die to fuel the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act to
be passed."
Dr. Edwards stated the City Council/EDA passed the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock‐Heisler
Community Safety and Violence Act in 2021 with Resolution 2021-73. After that, the
Implementation Committee is formed. Before 2021, there was a report on the use of force and a
report on citations on summons compiled after the formation of the Implementation Committee.
The Office of Community Prevention, Health, and Safety was formed, and Staff obtained grant
funding for alternative response and traffic stops pilot programs.
Dr. Edwards stated in 2023, there was initial incremental budgeting started for prevention and
intervention programming. The Implementation Committee recommended traffic stops, consent
searches, and an alternative response model. Also, the settlement terms from the Duante Wright
civil case were agreed upon.
Dr. Edwards pointed out three "whereas" clauses that reflect the spirit of the Act. First, he said,
"Whereas, the City of Brooklyn Center ("City') can create a safer, healthier, more just,
and more thriving community by promoting a diversity of responses to our community's
safety needs."
Dr. Edwards stated the second highlighted clause was "Whereas, a diversity of approaches will
improve overall public safety, better address the root causes of many systemic issues, promote
racial justice, better protect vulnerable members of our community, and more efficiently allocate
public resources while recognizing there is still work to be done to address policing mindset and
culture."
Dr. Edwards stated the second highlighted clause was, "Whereas the City Council is committed to
putting in the work necessary to bring about changes as quickly as possible in how the City
provides public safety while recognizing that some of these measures will take longer to implement
than others and that additional work remains to be done to create a healthier and more equitable
community even beyond this Act."
Dr. Edwards stated sections 1 and 2 allowed for the adoption of the Act and the call for creating a
Community Response Department. Sections called for creating an Unarmed Civilian Traffic
Enforcement Department to enforce all non-moving traffic violations in the City.
Dr. Edwards explained that the fourth section calls for the City to create a new Department of
Community Safety and Violence Prevention responsible for overseeing all City agencies and City
efforts regarding community health and public safety and ensuring a well‐coordinated, public
health‐oriented approach. Dr. Edwards pointed out there are not currently any departments that
have been created due to the Act.
8/28/23 -3- DRAFT
Dr. Edwards noted the fifth section called for the creation of a permanent Community Safety and
Violence Prevention Committee to review and make recommendations regarding the policing
response to recent protests, review the current collective bargaining agreement between the City
and the Police Department and make recommendations, recommend the City Council/EDA create
a separate and permanent civilian oversight committee for the new Department, and review
Chapter 19 of the City Code and make recommendations.
Dr. Edwards stated the sixth section called for the City to review and update its policies, practices,
and training regarding the use of force. Section 7 required the City Council/EDA to direct the City
Manager to a citywide "citation and summons, " the Implementation Committee will make
recommendations regarding making these policy changes permanent and modifying them as
needed. This item was addressed in 2022, already underway before the Act was passed.
Dr. Edwards stated Section 8 called for the creation of the Implementation Committee with the
responsibility to "propose amendments, ordinances, resolutions, policies, guidelines or other
recommendations for the review, adoption and implementation of the will and intent expressed in
this Act."
Dr. Edwards noted Section 9 emphasized the need for community involvement in efforts while
Section 10 authorized and directed Staff to provide all necessary assistance and support to all
committees created according to the Act.
Dr. Edwards noted four basic reflections he gathered from conversations with Staff. First, there is
a request for the City Council/EDA to establish a time to develop an amended or new resolution,
which would include all elements of the existing Act. There is a request for the City Council/EDA
to identify functional or service units and build upon the City's efforts and actions already taken.
Lastly, Staff would like to be included in the process.
Dr. Edwards left the City Council/EDA with three main questions. First, he asked how the City
Council/EDA would like to proceed regarding the discussion. Second, he asked what critical
sections of the Act the City Council/EDA would like to explore for amending. Lastly, he asked if
there were pressing questions by the City Council/EDA regarding the Act that need to be
researched or answered before the next work session discussion.
Councilmember/Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson asked if Section 6 has been completed. If so,
it could be shortened. Dr. Edwards stated the City had already reviewed, updated, and reported its
use of force policies before passing the Act. There could be an amendment that states a requirement
for the City to continue to report its use of force policies with a potential timeline for review and
updating.
Councilmember/Commissioner Kragness stated she doesn't want to lose the heart of the Act. Some
wording is reactionary, so it needs to be cleaned up and edited with long-term feasibility in mind.
8/28/23 -4- DRAFT
Councilmember/Commissioner Jerzak noted his agreement with Councilmember/Commissioner
Kragness. There are a number of items that are unaffordable and unenforceable. It should not be a
rushed process to review and update the Act.
Councilmember/Commissioner Jerzak added Mayor/President Graves is in a difficult position as
she has worked closely with the Implementation Committee, the Council/EDA, and the settlement.
The City Council/EDA needs to hear presentations from relevant parties to share actionable
options. The work could have a sunset date at the end of 2023. It is time for action.
Councilmember/Commissioner Butler stated some of the issues from 2021 remain in 2023. There
have been minor improvements, but there is a way to go. Countless innocent people have been
harmed by the Brooklyn Center Police Department. There is a problem with how some officers
engage with the community. Crime needs to be addressed, but there are additional problems on top
of that. She added there needs to be actionable items rather than continued discussions. It was her
preference to edit the Act rather than to write a new one.
Councilmember/Commissioner Butler added members of the Implementation Committee need to
be included in the editing process. It would be insulting to continue the process apart from them.
Mayor/President Graves agreed the Implementation Committee needs to be involved. She noted
there needs to be some minor edits, including the use of language that can be functional. For
example, it isn't feasible or necessary to create three new departments, as the Act calls for. It is
also a priority to develop a permanent advisory committee.
Mayor/President Graves noted it appears that the City Council/EDA is trying to take action apart
from the recommendations from the Implementation Committee, which is not the case. The
Council/EDA's vote on the recommendations from the Implementation Committee is forthcoming.
Mayor/President Graves pointed out she has had preliminary discussions with the Implementation
Committee about potential edits. There were some opinions shared about particular wording or
how the units would be structured. The discussion also pointed out the Act could be edited to
include additional efforts the City has undertaken in the spirit of the Act.
Mayor/President Graves stated, ultimately, that the goal of editing the Act is to create clarity for
the community and Staff. The hope is that the language will be representative of the collective
voice of the community.
Mayor/President Graves added the first step is to work with Staff to create a space to hold
conversations between the City Council/EDA, Implementation Committee, and relevant Staff
regarding potential edits. Some portions of the Act have been implemented, but there are unknown
variables to consider and nail down for clarity and direction. Sections 6-10 are well underway.
Councilmember/Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson suggested the next step be to dive into
Section 5. There needs to be clarification between the role of the Implementation Committee and
the Community Safety and Violence Prevention Committee—also, the differences between a
8/28/23 -5- DRAFT
Committee and a Commission need to be considered.
The majority consensus of the City Council/EDA was to move forward with editing Resolution
No. 202-71, The Duante Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety Prevention Act.
There is a desire by the City Council/EDA to set up a conversation time with the Implementation
Committee and to create a shared understanding of how to create action.
Councilmember/Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson noted she would like the Director of Fiscal
and Support Services, Angela Holm, to be present in clarifying conversations to share information
on feasibility. When the Act was passed, the City Council/EDA already knew Sections 2-4 were
not fiscally possible.
Councilmember/Commissioner Jerzak stated the City Council/EDA wants to reduce harm in the
community, particularly for communities of color. He hopes various Staff and Implementation
Committee members can bring that shared interest together to create a clear, actionable Act that
benefits the community. The dream of perfection should not get in the way of doing good.
Councilmember/Commissioner Butler left the meeting at 9:26 p.m.
REVIEW AND DISCUSSION OF A COMMUNITY BENEFITS AGREEMENT
TEMPLATE AND EQUITY DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK, DRAFT APPENDICES
TO THE OPPORTUNITY SITE MASTER PLAN
Dr. Edwards introduced the item and invited Community Development Director Jesse Anderson
to continue the Staff presentation.
Community Development Director Jesse Anderson explained since 2019, City staff have been
working on progressing a Master Plan for the 80-acre Opportunity Site. From the beginning, this
Master Plan intended to shift development expectations within the Opportunity Site towards
community serving in their process and outcomes. As such, the buildout of the Opportunity Site is
intended to be a collaborative endeavor between the City and developers who seek to join the City
in improving the quality of life for all who call the Brooklyn Center home. He introduced Mike
Thompson, a representative of Bolton & Menk, and asked him to continue the presentation.
Mike Thompson, a representative of Bolton & Menk, showed a timeline of the project thus far. In
2021, an infrastructure framework was adopted. Today, they are finalizing plan content, developing
an implementation plan and supportive appendices, and continuing coordination with the Alatus
Phase 1 Development Site. The appendices are the basis of the presentation at hand.
Mr. Thompson stated the Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) is the first appendix to address.
A CBA is a legal contract between the City and a prospective developer/owner outlining the
development project's community benefits. The CBA Template tool provides community-
identified benefits that City Staff and the development team can tailor and negotiate on a project‐
by‐project basis. A signed and agreed-to CBA will be required for any Opportunity Site
development application within City Owned land or requiring public subsidy. Mr. Thomson stated
8/28/23 -6- DRAFT
there are five benefits "menu categories": housing and residential communities, economic
development and employment opportunities, transportation and connectivity, public realm, public
space, public life, sustainability, resilience, and the natural environment.
Mr. Thompson noted the next consideration is the Equity Development Framework. The Equity
Development Framework is a tool to assess the degree to which a prospective development adheres
to Master Plan principles and practices of equitable development and environmental justice. The
framework provides a collection of design practices that city staff and the development team can
continually review and discuss during project design; it is not a scorecard, however, and outcomes
are intended to be considered on a project‐by‐project basis. A final completed framework must be
submitted for any Opportunity Site development application within City Council/EDA ‐Owned
land or requiring public subsidy.
Mr. Thompson explained six equity framework categories: livability, community power and
engagement, economic and land use, housing, transportation, and environment. Ultimately, the
Equity Development Framework is not a legal agreement but a framework.
Mr. Thompson stated the process for the CBA is first to inform the prospective developer of CBA
requirements for projects on city‐owned land or requesting public subsidy and share CBA. Upon
receipt of an application for financial assistance or offer to purchase EDA/City‐owned land, Staff
& developer discuss potential project benefits. A preliminary benefits package is negotiated
between Staff and the developer. It is included in a non‐binding Term Sheet for public assistance
and purchase options for City Council/EDA consideration and revision. Final CBA is included
with consideration of a final public financing agreement and purchase agreement.
Mr. Thompson noted the process for the Equity Development Framework varies slightly. The first
step is to inform the prospective developer of the Equity Development Framework requirement
for projects on city‐owned land or to request a public subsidy and share Framework. During project
design, Staff and developer discuss Framework principles, conducting a design review multiple
times if needed. A final Framework document is completed between Staff and the developer and
is included with the formal development application. Lastly, the City Council/EDA reviews the
framework during the development application review to inform its decision on project approval.
Mayor/President Graves pointed out that the CBA and Framework could be developed for the
Opportunity Site but be applied to ample future developments.
Councilmember/Commissioner Jerzak asked if the developer works within the CBA and Equity
Development Framework processes and if the processes are workable. Mr. Thompson stated the
developer is on board with both considerations. The developer is concerned with creating the best
development package for the people and their community. Focusing on a framework rather than a
scorecard promotes flexibility and decreases bureaucracy.
Mayor/President Graves stated there doesn't need to be a CBA for every development throughout
the City. She asked what variables would trigger a CBA and if that could be included in the Equity
Development Framework. Mr. Thompson stated the levers afforded to the City to implement a
8/28/23 -7- DRAFT
CBA regarding EDA-owned land and the like. Future conversations could exist about applying a
similar Framework to other development decisions.
Dr. Edwards pointed out that Staff already runs potential projects through a process similar to the
Equity Development Framework before presenting anything to the City Council/EDA.
Mayor/President Graves noted she believes Staff includes similar considerations in their process.
However, she suggests creating a scorecard or framework specifically for the Council/EDA to help
in their discussion and decision-making efforts.

CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
ORDINANCE NO. ________
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 35 OF THE CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES
REGARDING APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR LAND DISTURBANCE PERMITS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
Article I. Brooklyn Center City Code, Chapter 35, 35-7901 is amended by adding the following
double-underlined language:
35-7901 Applicability.
No construction, reconstruction, development, redevelopment, grading, excavation, or other
activity shall occur without first securing a permit from the Community Development
Department if such activity causes a land disturbance of 10,000 square feet or more of land.
For certain construction activity, various other permits may also be required. The applicant
of construction activity is responsible for obtaining any other required permits from the City
and other State, Federal, or local governmental agencies having any authority over the work
to be performed. Typically, such agencies may include, but are not limited to, Shingle Creek
and West Mississippi Watershed Management Commissions, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources, the Minnesota Department of Transportation, and the State Historical
Preservation Office.
Article II. Brooklyn Center City Code, Chapter 35, Section 39-7903 is amended by adding the
following double-underlined language and deleting the stricken language:
35-7903 Required Plans.
The applicant shall submit construction plans and supporting calculations. The submittals
shall comply with the following requirements:
(a) The plans shall meet the requirements of the Shingle Creek and West Mississippi
Watershed Management Commission’s Rules and Standards, and the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency. Construction Permit. Alternative treatment best
management practices must be considered where any of the following apply:
Permanent stormwater management system designs, including calculations shall be
provided with the plans.
1) Where industrial facilities are not authorized to infiltrate industrial
stormwater under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System/State
Disposal System Permit;
2
2) When receiving runoff from fueling and vehicle maintenance areas, unless
the infiltration practices is designed to allow for spill control;
(b) The infiltration practice shall be 10 feet away from all buildings, or; When a land
disturbance permit is required, a satisfactory erosion control and grading plan
consistent with the Minnesota Stormwater Manual must be approved by the City
Engineer before a grading or building permit is issued for construction.
(c) The infiltration practice shall not be used within fifty (50) feet of a City or private
well, unless specifically allowed by an approved wellhead protection plan. The
grading and erosion control plan must provide spot elevations of proposed grades in
relation to existing grades on the subject property and adjacent land. Areas where the
finished slope will be steeper than five units horizontal to one vertical shall be
specifically noted. Also, location and type of erosion control devices shall be clearly
labeled.
(d) The plan shall provide 2-foot contour lines with spot elevations of proposed grades
in relation to existing grades on the subject property and adjacent land. The location
and type of erosion control devices shall be clearly labeled. Every effort shall be
made to minimize disturbance of existing ground cover. No grading or filling shall
be permitted within 40 feet of the ordinary high water mark of a water body unless
specifically approved by the City. To minimize the erosion potential of exposed
areas, restoration of ground cover shall be provided within five days after completion
of the grading operation.
(e) The plan shall address the management of post development runoff and means of
assuring the long-term maintenance and operation of best management practices and
storm water management structures, devices and methods. Every effort shall be made
during the grading permit application process to determine the full extent of erosion
control required. However, the City Engineer may require additional controls to
correct specific site related problems as normal inspections are performed.
(f) All erosion control noted on the approved plan shall be installed prior to the initiation
of any site grading or construction. Noncompliance with the grading and erosion
control plan shall constitute grounds for an order from the City to halt all
construction.

S U B J E C T:Res olu-on Reques-ng an A mendment to the By-L aws of the City of Brooklyn Center F ire
D epartment Relief A ssocia-on to I ncrease the L ump S um Benefit to $12,000 Per Year
Requested Council A con:
The B C F R A is reques-ng city approval for an increase in our pens ion amount from $10,000 to $12,000 per
year of s ervice. This is an excellent way to increas e the fire fighter compensa-on package w ithout
impac-ng the city budget. The last pens ion increase w as $1500 in 2021, w hich brought us to the current
$10,000 per-year-of- service. Enclos ed please find the J anuary 2023 actuarial report from V I A A ctuarial
S olu-ons as w ell as a supplemental study s pecifically regarding this poten-al increase.
The B C F R A board believes that it has fiduciary responsibili-es to both the membership and to the C ouncil.
The responsibility to the members hip is to s eek the highes t financially sound benefit level. The
res pons ibility to the Council is to not expos e the city to any financial ris k which could lead to mandatory
contribu-ons . Based on the analys is , there does not appear to be a financial ris k.
B ackground:
Relief associa-ons are governmental en--es that receive and manage public money to provide re-rement
benefits for individuals providing the governmental s ervices of firefigh-ng and emergency firs t res pons e.
Relief associa-ons are required under Minnes ota S tatutes, chapters 356 and 424 A , to report annually
financial, investment, and plan adminis tra-on informa-on to the O ffice of the S tate A uditor (O S A ), and
the S tate A uditor is required to provide a detailed report to the L egis lature under M innesota S tatutes ,
s ec-ons 6.72 and 356.219.
The B C F R A is made up of the ac-ve paid-on-call members of the Brooklyn Center F ire D epartment. The
purpose of the as s ocia-on is to provide re-rement, disability and death benefits to the members or
beneficiaries of members of the department. The pension benefit is not only a recruitment tool, but als o a
w ay to encourage the part--me/paid-on-call members to "s tay on the job" and supports reten-on.
The S tate of M innesota has provided the source of funding for the associa-on through distribu-on of the
money collected from a gros s earnings tax on fire insurance premiums s old in the state, also know n as
"2% Money". The funds are allocated back to the relief as s ocia-on based on the popula-on and property
values in the area s erved by that department. There is a s trong rela-ons hip between state fire aid and the
number of fire-related calls a fire department res ponds to each year. The s tate fire aid was establis hed in
1885 and has been the mos t s table s ource of funding. The city has not needed to financially support the
Relief A s s ocia-on.
S tate law requires that a relief associa-on be governed by a nine-member board of trus tees . The B C F R A
is directed by s ix trustees elected by members of the relief associa-on, the fire chief, the city F inance
D irector, and the mayor.
The relief associa-on's as s ets are inves ted through The Parr-McKnight Wealth M anagement G roup. The
relief as s ocia-on has adopted an I nvestment Policy S tatement for the inves tment in our pens ion fund. O ur
target inves tment alloca-on is sixty percent in stocks , thirty-five percent in bonds and five percent in cash.
We rebalance our target alloca-on annually. The B C F R A Board believes in long-term inves-ng and has
res is ted aJemp-ng to -me market moves .
B udget I ssues:
The supplemental study s how s that an increase to $12,000 requires only a small contribu-on needed from
the city, but only if state aid amounts remain at 2022 levels . The benefit s tudy als o allows the fund to remain

RESOLUTION NO._______________
RESOLUTION REQUESTING AN AMENDMENT TO THE BY-LAWS OF
THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER FIRE DEPARTMENT RELIEF
ASSOCIATION TO INCREASE THE LUMP SUM BENEFIT TO $12,000 PER
YEAR
WHEREAS, the Brooklyn Center Fire Department Relief Association has
requested City approval of a benefit increase for retirees; and
WHEREAS, such benefit increase would require an amendment of the City of
Brooklyn Center Fire Department Relief Association By-Laws; and
WHEREAS, Relief associations are governmental entities that receive and
manage public money to provide retirement benefits for individuals providing the governmental
services of firefighting and emergency first response; and
WHEREAS, the Brooklyn Center Fire Relief Association is made up of active
paid-on-call members of the Brooklyn Center Fire Department; and
WHEREAS, The purpose of the association is to provide retirement, disability
and death benefits to the members or beneficiaries of members of the department; and
WHEREAS, The pension benefit is not only a recruitment tool but also a way to
encourage the part-time/paid-on-call members to "stay on the job" and supports retention; and
WHEREAS, State law requires that a relief association be governed by a nine-
member board of trustees. The BCFRA is directed by six trustees elected by members of the relief
association, the Fire Chief, the City Finance Director, and the Mayor; and
WHEREAS, Van Iwaarden and Associates has conducted an actuarial valuation
and benefit study and determined that the anticipated assets available for benefits would be
sufficient to support an increase in the annual benefit with very little, if any, funds needed from
the City to maintain a 100% fund balance; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center,
Minnesota, that an amendment to the By-laws of the City of Brooklyn Center Fire Department
Relief Association to increase the lump sum benefit to $12,000 per year be hereby approved.

and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof:
and the following voted against the same:
whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted.
Council Regular Meeting
DATE: 9/11/2023
TO: City Council
FROM: Reggie Edwards, City Manager
THROUGH: N/A
BY: Todd Berg, Fire Chief/Emergency Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution Approving an Amendment to the Brooklyn Center Fire Department
Relief Association By-laws
Background:
Relief associations are governmental entities that receive and manage public money to
provide retirement benefits for individuals providing the governmental services of
firefighting and emergency first response. Relief associations are required under Minnesota
Statutes, chapters 356 and 424A, to report annually financial, investment, and plan
administration information to the Office of the State Auditor (OSA), and the State Auditor is
required to provide a detailed report to the Legislature under Minnesota Statutes, sections
6.72 and 356.219.
The BCFRA is made up of the active paid-on-call members of the Brooklyn Center Fire
Department. The purpose of the association is to provide retirement, disability and death
benefits to the members or beneficiaries of members of the department. The pension
benefit is not only a recruitment tool, but also a way to encourage the part-time/paid-on-call
members to "stay on the job" and supports retention.
The State of Minnesota has provided the source of funding for the association through
distribution of the money collected from a gross earnings tax on fire insurance premiums
sold in the state, also known as "2% Money". The funds are allocated back to the relief
association based on the population and property values in the area served by that
department. There is a strong relationship between state fire aid and the number of fire-
related calls a fire department responds to each year. The state fire aid was established in
1885 and has been the most stable source of funding. The city has not needed to financially
support the Relief Association.
State law requires that a relief association be governed by a nine-member board of trustees.
The BCFRA is directed by six trustees elected by members of the relief association, the fire
chief, the city Finance Director, and the mayor.
The relief association's assets are invested through The Parr-McKnight Wealth Management Group.
The relief association has adopted an Investment Policy Statement for the investment in our pension
fund. Our target investment allocation is sixty percent in stocks, thirty-five percent in bonds and five
percent in cash. We rebalance our target allocation annually. The BCFRA Board believes in long-term
investing and has resisted attempting to time market moves.
Action Requested:
The BCFRA is requesting city approval for an increase in our pension amount from $10,000 to
$12,000 per year of service. This is an excellent way to increase the fire fighter compensation
package without impacting the city budget. The last pension increase was $1500 in 2021, which
brought us to the current $10,000 per-year-of- service. Enclosed please find the January 2023
actuarial report from VIA Actuarial Solutions as well as a supplemental study specifically regarding
this potential increase.
The BCFRA board believes that it has fiduciary responsibilities to both the membership and to the
Council. The responsibility to the membership is to seek the highest financially sound benefit level.
The responsibility to the Council is to not expose the city to any financial risk which could lead to
mandatory contributions. Based on the analysis, there does not appear to be a financial risk.
Budget Issues:
The supplemental study shows that an increase to $12,000 requires only a small contribution needed
from the city, but only if state aid amounts remain at 2022 levels. The benefit study also allows the
fund to remain at 101%.
This request remains in line with our goal of pursuing increases in the per-year-of-service pension
amount with monies above 100% to continue to move toward the state allowed maximum of
$15,000.
Strategic Priorities and Values:
Safe, Secure, Stable Community,

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 8, 2023
TO: Brooklyn Center City Council
Dr. Reginald Edwards, City Manager
Barbara Suciu, Assistance City Manager/City Clerk
FROM: Jason M. Hill, City Attorney
RE: Edible Cannabinoid Licensing Ordinance
In follow-up to the City Council’s recent work session discussion, the purpose of this
memorandum is to provide a draft of an ordinance creating a licensing framework related to the
sale of edible cannabinoid products (“THC Edibles) until licensing and regulation of hemp
products occurs at the state level.
The attached licensing ordinance does the following:
Requires a business to obtain a city-issued license prior to offering edible cannabinoids for
sale.
Establishes one licensing period effective from the date of issuance until March 1, 2025,
or until the state issues a license for the sale of lower-potency hemp edibles, whichever
occurs first.
Exempts edible cannabinoid products that only contain cannabinoil (“CBD”) from the
license requirement.
On-site consumption may only occur at businesses licensed for on-sale liquor consumption.
The business cannot be within 500 feet of a “Youth Oriented Facility”, which is defined as
“a public or private elementary, middle, or high school, a state-licensed child or day care
program with more than ten children, and any City park.”
The proposed ordinance is largely modeled after the City’s tobacco licensing ordinance.
If the City Council desires, it could consider the following alternatives:
2
Allowing licenses only for exclusive liquor stores and tobacco shops.
Amend the distance restrictions.

Section 3. Brooklyn Center City Code, Section 23-006.05 is hereby amended by adding the
following double-underlined language and removing the stricken language:
Section 23-006.05. PAYMENT PROPERTY TAXES REQUIRED. No license shall be
granted or renewed for tobacco related products; bowling alleys; entertainment; filling stations;
pawnbrokers; secondhand goods dealers; motor vehicle dealerships; saunas and sauna baths;
massage parlors; rap parlors, conversation parlors, adult encounter groups, adult sensitivity groups,
escort services, model services, dancing services, or hostess services; hospitality accommodations;
or amusement devices; or Edible Cannabinoid Products for operation on any property on which
taxes, assessments, or other financial claims of the state, county, school district, or city are due,
delinquent, or unpaid. In the event a suit has been commenced under Minnesota Statutes, Section
278.01 through 278.03, questioning the amount or validity of taxes, the City Council may on
application waive strict compliance with this provision; no waiver may be granted, however, for
taxes or any portion thereof which remain unpaid for a period exceeding one (1) year after becoming
due.
Section 4. Brooklyn Center City Code, Chapter 23, is hereby amended by adding Sections 23-2700
through 23-2709 to read in their entirety as follows:
Edible Cannabinoid Products
Section 23-2700. PURPOSE AND INTENT
3
A. Minnesota Statutes, section 151.72 expressly allows the sale of certain products
that are intended to be eaten or consumed as a beverage by humans and which
contain a cannabinoid in combination with food ingredients (“Edible Cannabinoid
Products”), including Edible Cannabinoid Products which contain
tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”).
B. 2023 Session Law Chapter 63 (the “Cannabis Act”) both amended regulations for
Edible Cannabinoid Products and established a framework for adult-use cannabis
in the state of Minnesota. The Cannabis Act established the Office of Cannabis
Management (“OCM”) effective July 1, 2023, and the OCM will eventually issue
licenses for all cannabis products and edible hemp products, such as Edible
Cannabinoid Products, but does not currently require a business to obtain a license
to sell Edible Cannabinoid Products.
C. The City enacted Ordinance No._____________, an interim ordinance establishing
a temporary prohibition on the sale of Edible Cannabinoid Products, which has
expired, thereby leaving a regulatory gap between when businesses can begin
selling Edible Cannabinoid Products in the City and when businesses will be
required to obtain a state-level license to sell edible hemp products.
D. The City recognizes that, based on the most reliable and up-to-date scientific
evidence, the introduction of Edible Cannabinoid Products containing THC
presents a potential threat to the public health, safety, and welfare of the residents
of the City and has determined the establishing a licensing framework for Edible
Cannabinoid Products is in the best interest of the City and its residents.
E. State law does not preempt municipalities from adopting and enforcing local
ordinances to regulate retailers of Edible Cannabinoid Products including, but not
limited to, establishing business licensing requirements. The Cannabis Act directs
the OCM to draft administrative rules and model ordinances related to cannabis and
hemp products, which may address Edible Cannabinoid Products, but the timing
and details of those regulations are uncertain. Therefore, the City Council
determines it is appropriate to adopt the regulations in this ordinance without delay.
F. In making these findings and enacting this ordinance, it is the intent of the City to
facilitate responsible retail activities associated with Edible Cannabinoid Products
by allowing legal sale and access without promoting increases in use, and to
discourage violations of Edible Cannabinoid Products-related laws, especially
those which prohibit or discourage the marketing, sale, or distribution of Edible
Cannabinoid Products to persons under the age of 21 years.
G. A licensing requirement for retail establishments that desire to sell Edible
Cannabinoid Products will not unduly burden legitimate business activities of such
retailers who sell or distribute Edible Cannabinoid Products to adults, but will allow
the City to effectively regulate the operation of lawful businesses, limit access to
4
persons under the age of 21 years, and discourage violations of Edible Cannabinoid
Product-related laws.
Section 23-2701. DEFINITIONS. Except as may otherwise be provided or clearly
implied by context, all terms shall be given their commonly accepted definitions. For the
purpose of Sections 23-2701 through 23-2709, the following definitions shall apply unless the
context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning:
A. “Compliance checks” means the system the City uses to investigate and ensure that
those authorized to sell covered products are following and complying with the
requirements of Sections 23-2701 through 23-2709. Compliance checks shall
involve the use of persons who have reached the age of 17, with parental or guardian
consent if under the age of 18 years, but who are under the age of 21 as authorized
by Sections 23-2701 through 23-2709. Compliance checks shall also mean the use
of persons who have reached the age of 17, with parental or guardian consent if
under the age of 18 years, but who are under the age of 21 who attempt to purchase
covered products for educational, research and training purposes as authorized by
state and federal laws. Compliance checks may also be conducted by other units of
government for the purpose of enforcing appropriate federal, state or local laws and
regulations relating to covered products.
B. “Edible Cannabinoid Product” has the same meaning as is contained in Minnesota
Statutes, section 151.72, subdivision 1 (f). For purposes of this Section, Edible
Cannabinoid Product shall not include any Exempt Product as defined in this
Section.
C. “Exclusive Liquor Store” means an establishment that meets the definition of
exclusive liquor store in Minnesota Statutes, section 340A.101, subdivision 10.
D. “Exempt Product” means an Edible Cannabinoid Product that contains less than
trace amounts of THC and which is not marketed or otherwise labeled as containing
THC. For example, an Edible Cannabinoid Product labeled and marketed as
containing cannabinoil (“CDB”) but containing “0% THC” or being “THC Free”
would be considered an Exempt Product.
E. “Moveable place of business” means any form of business operated out of a
truck, van, automobile or other type of vehicle or transportable shelter and not
fixed-address storefront or other permanent type of structure authorized for
sales transactions.
F. “Retail Establishment” means any place of business where Edible Cannabinoid
Products are available for sale to the general public. Retail establishments shall
include, but are not limited to, exclusive liquor stores, grocery stores, convenience
stores, tobacco stores, hemp stores, CBD stores, restaurants, and any other business
offering Edible Cannabinoid Products for sale at retail. Retail establishments shall
not include home occupations. Only businesses that are in compliance with all
5
applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances,
including zoning regulations, may be considered a retail establishment.
G. “Sale” means any transfer of goods for money, trade, barter or other
consideration.
H. “Self-service merchandising” means open displays of Edible Cannabinoid
Products in any manner where any person shall have access to the Edible
Cannabinoid Products without the assistance or intervention of the licensee or
the licensee's employee. The assistance or intervention shall entail the actual
physical exchange of the covered products between the customer and the
licensee or employee. Self- service sales are interpreted as being any sale where
there is not an actual physical exchange of the covered product between the
clerk and the customer.
I. “Vending machine” means any mechanical, electric or electronic, or other type
of device that dispenses tobacco, tobacco products or tobacco-related devices
upon the insertion of money, tokens or other form of payment directly into the
machine by the person seeking to purchase the covered product.
J. “Youth Oriented Facility” means a public or private elementary, middle, or
high school, a state-licensed child or day care program with more than ten
children, and any City park.
Section 23-2702. LICENSE
A. License Required. No person shall directly or indirectly or by means of a
vending machine or similar device keep for retail sale, sell at retail, or otherwise

THC EDIBLE LICENSING AND
REGULATION
AUGUST 28, 2023
PRESENTED BY
JASON M. HILL
WWW.KENNEDY-GRAVEN.COM
THC EDIBLES
•With the cannabis legalization, there were few significant
changes to Minnesota Statutes, section 151.72, which
legalized low potency, hemp THC edibles.
•Eventually, likely first quarter of 2025, retailers will be
licensed with the State, but current regulation limited to
State regulations in Section 151.72.
THC EDIBLES
•Current State regulation includes:
•Allowance for topicals;
•Age restriction at 21 years of age;
•On-site consumption restrictions;
•Testing requirements;
•Labeling and packaging requirements - cannot (1) bear the likeness of
cartoon or cartoon-like characters or real or fictional persons, (2)
be substantially similar to a meat product, (3) be packaged in a
manner that resembles commercially available food products, (4) be
child resistant, and (5) be modeled after a brand of products
primarily consumed by or marketed to children.
THC EDIBLES
•Current State regulation includes:
•Must register with the State (not the City) by October 1, 2023
•According to the State, examples of current registrations
include - smoke shops, restaurants, bars, exclusive liquor stores,
cannabinoid stores, brewery/distillery,
manufacturers/wholesalers, convenience stores, grocery stores,
nail salons/barber shops, pet food stores, and veterinarians
•Age Verification requirements upon sale.
•Other than beverages, persons selling must ensure that all THC
Edibles are displayed behind a checkout counter where the public is
not permitted or in a locked case.
THC EDIBLES
•As we’ve previously discussed, Minnesota Statutes, section
151.72 is repealed effective March 1, 2025.
•At that point, THC Edibles will only be able to be sold with
a license from the State.
THC EDIBLE LICENSING
•Until March 1, 2025, or until the retailer obtains a license
from the State, THC Edible retailers can be regulated by the
City.
•City’s have a variety of options – do nothing, adopt a
licensing regime, prohibit.
•Key element is that anything the City adopts will have no
effect upon State licensing or March 1, 2025.
THC EDIBLE LICENSING
•THC licensing ordinance:
•Modeled largely after the City’s tobacco licensing ordinance.
•Requires a business to obtain a city-issued license prior to
offering THC Edibles for sale.
•Establishes one licensing period effective from the date of
issuance until March 1, 2025, or until the state issues a license
for the sale of lower-potency hemp edibles, whichever occurs
first.
THC EDIBLE LICENSING
•THC licensing ordinance:
•Exempts edible cannabinoid products that only contain
cannabinoil (“CBD”) from the license requirement.
•On-site consumption may only occur at businesses licensed
for on-sale liquor consumption.
•The business cannot be within 500 feet of a “Youth Oriented
Facility”, which is defined as “a public or private elementary,
middle, or high school, a state-licensed child or day care
program with more than ten children, and any City park.”
THC EDIBLE LICENSING
•THC licensing ordinance alternatives:
•Allowing licenses only for exclusive liquor
stores and tobacco shops.
•Amend the distance restrictions.
RECOMMENDATIONS
•Adopt the THC Edibles Licensing ordinance.
•Do nothing and allow the State to continue to
regulate.

Requested Council A con:
- I t is requested that the C ity C ouncil provide direcon to staff regarding the Ocean Buffet Lease.
B ackground:
I n M ay 2023, staff updated the City Council on the s tatus of A latus ’ O pportunity S ite P has e 1 project. That
update noted several challenges , including the fact that project cos ts increased to over $159 million, interes t
rates increas ed drama7cally, and the Entrepreneurial M arket P laza (E M P ) project as conceived at 30,000
s q. =. w as going to be too large to both pay for and operate.
To help mi7gate these challenges , the City Council authorized s taff to explore an op7on to provide up-front
funding for the project through the issuance of general obliga7on bonds. A latus determined this up-front
assistance may help secure the remaining financing for the project in a difficult financing environment. I n
addi7on to exploring this up-front financing op7on, s taff and the developer als o took the follow ing steps to
improve financial feas ibility:
P repared s cenarios for up-front bond financing.
A dded units and altered unit mix for A latus’ rental buildings .
Reworked as s ump7ons around the E M P to achieve a more financially feas ible project.
S ecured addi7onal grant funding.
H elped P roject for P ride in L iving reapply for tax credits .
Explored infras tructure savings op7ons.
D es pite thes e addi7onal measures, A latus indicated they will not be able to move the project forw ard in
2023. A latus remains commiCed to the project and intends to con7nue working diligently with the City to
get the project done. Larger economic forces , outside the C ity ’s control, are simply preven7ng the project
form moving forw ard now. A latus is hoping that by the middle of 2024, circums tances w ill allow the project
to move forw ard. Bob Lux, P resident and C EO of A latus , will be pres ent at the S eptember 11, 2023,
mee7ng to further detail reasons for the delay and to discuss how they intend to move forw ard from here.
N ext S teps:
S taff w ill con7nue w orking with A latus to proceed with the project as s oon as possible. I n the mean7me,
there will need to be s ome ac7on on the O cean Buffet leas e and s taff w ill need to have convers a7ons w ith
grant agencies about the delay.
A s it relates to the O cean Buffet leas e, there are a few op7ons available to the E DA . These include:
1. Extending the lease as it has been in the recent past. This op7on would maintain the status quo at the
s ite.
2. Move forw ard w ith buying out the lease now.
3. A llow the extension to expire.
Lease Extension: The original leas e agreement has been amended six 7mes , with very few s ubs tan7ve
change betw een amendments. The mos t recent amendment provided (1) an extens ion of the deadline for
clos ing to S eptember 30, 2023, (2) if clos ing did not occur by that date, the leas e remained in effect,
including the tenant’s op7on to extend the term of the lease for five years, (3) tenant con7nues to pay no
minimum annual rent but is s7ll obligated to pay addi7onal rent and percentage rent, as those are defined in
the lease, and (4) the amended/z ero rent provis ion expressly excludes the op7on term.
The C ity has the op7on to extend the lease for a s eventh 7me to accommodate A latus ’ extended 7meline.
A ny such extension would presumably be on the s ame terms and really would change very liCle with regard
to the current s itua7on.
Lease B uy O ut now: U nder the current arrangement, the city owes $300,000 as a lease termina7on fee.
A latus was going to pay this fee at the 7me of closing w ith the C ity. The City w as reimbursing A latus for this
payment through T I F and other financial assistance in the project.
The C ity has the op7on to nego7ate directly w ith the tenant to buy out the lease. U l7mately, the City buying
out the lease clears up the s ite, w hich benefits both the C ity, A latus or any other future developer. The buy
out can occur before or a=er the S eptember 30th deadline, but it would be preferable to aCempt to
complete it prior to the deadline. I f prior to the termina7on, w e would als o need to get A latus to sign off
becaus e they were a party to the lease amendments. P rocedurally, the agreement w ould be terminated
through a simple termina7on agreement executed by the E DA .
S taff recommends purs uing this op7on. S ince the lease buy out is a cos t to the C ity for the project anyw ay,
it makes sens e to remove this barrier to development now. This w ill also eliminate the cos t of con7nuing to
operate and manage the property. The E DA can use funding from T I F 3 to cover this expense.
A llow the current extension to expire: The City could also jus t allow the leas e term to expire on S eptember
30th. At that point, there are tw o pos s ible paths forward:
1. The tenant has un7l S eptember 30th to extend the lease for five years. I f the tenant exercises the
op7on, the original leas e is extended under the same terms, w hich w ould include the rent and charge
adjus tments . The tenant’s rent would adjust to “fair market value” but all other terms of the lease
w ould con7nue.
2. The tenant does not exercise the op7on and the leas e is terminated.
The tenant has verbally stated to the property manager that they would intent to extent the lease that was
there only op7on from the City. I f the tenant w ere to exercis e the op7on, it may 7e up this property and
create challenges in redeveloping the site.
The O cean Buffet res taurant has been opera7ng at a diminis hed capacity do to the number of extens ion and
pending clos ing dates.
B udget I ssues:
The T I F 3 account has available funds that could be u7liz ed for the buy out of the O cean Buffet Lease.
I nclusive C ommunity Engagement:
The A latus project represents over four years of intensive and inclus ive community-lead engagement that
res ulted in a community benefits plan dra=ed by a ci7z en advisory tas kforce, informed by a community-
driven engagement model.
A nracist/Equity Policy Effect:
The community benefits plan is intended to promote inves tment in community without displacement and

S U BJ E C T:Establishing a New Fee for Commercial Vacant Buildings
Requested C ouncil A con:
- P rovide direc on to city staff on whether a commercial vacant building fee should be adopted or what addi onal informa on is needed.
B ackground:
City S taff brought forward a discussion on vacant commercial property fees on April 24, 2023 due to the increase in staffing 6me allocated to vacant commercial proper6es . The City Council requested addi6onal informa6on regarding the city staffing cost related to enforcement and
monitoring of vacant commercial proper6es.
Code enforcement staff pay rate of $35.81 per hour (not including the cost of benefits) mul6ply by 1.25 (15 minutes to do drive by mul6plied by 5x per week; assuming monitoring 1x per day) hours per week
for monitoring a commercial vacant building totals $44.76 per week. I f staff is monitoring that property for an en6re year the cos t is $2,327.65. This rate does not include any abatement, temporary securing of the building, or the use of police services for clearing the property
or fire services.
I f an average of 1 hour is assumed per week for Community Development staff 6me for having to no6fy the property ’s owner due to the need for an abatement or temporary securing of the property, the cost would be
6me for monitoring and securing a property would be $4,189.77 ($2,327.65 + $1,862.12). This does not include the staff 6me required for B C P D or BC F D when they are needed to ensure the building ’s safety.
W hen a building requires B C P D services to clear a building or remove individuals from a site, the cost increases. BCP D es6mates that to clear a building it would require two (2) police officers at a rate of $50 per hour (does not include cost of benefits). D epending on the
building, it will consume about 15-30 minutes and if the call requires the officers to document and write a report, the 6me would be 30 minutes to 1 hour. The average cost for BC P D services would be anywhere from $50 to $100 per call. S taff es6mates approximately two
police visit per month. S taff es6mates the annual cost for police service is $1,800.
B C F D services are oIen not needed on rou6ne vacant building calls, but when they are needed, it is usually related to fire panel or alarm related calls. They es6mate their cost is a minimum $200 per call. Staff es6mates approximately one fire department visit per month.
Staff es6mates the annual cost for fire service is $2,400.
The annual esmated staffing cost relang to commercial vacant properes is $8,389.38.
The City has a vacant building program for residen6al and commercial proper6es. Proper6es that have been iden6fied by city staff as vacant for 30 days or more is required to be registered. Staff will post the property as a vacant building and send a compliance no6ce to the owner
of record to register. The current fee for is $400 for the registra6on and $195 for the inspec6on. Both fees are paid together at the 6me of registra6on. W hen a property registers as a vacant building, code enforcement inspectors will complete a drive by the property periodically
to ensure that the property is maintained and secured.
Commercial proper6es are subject to the same requirements, however, commercial proper6es oIen require addi6onal s taff 6me in monitoring the proper6es and coordina6ng maintenance with property management companies. F urther, due to the 6me and financial commitment
required it takes to re-occupy or redevelop commercial proper6es, they are also vacant for longer 6me periods than residen6al proper6es.
Similarly with residen6al vacant proper6es, regular inspec6ons are conducted, but for commercial proper6es, staff completes daily inspec6ons. As part of the inspec6on staff walks the property and checks on doors to ensure the property is s6ll secured. When issues arise, staff will
document and send a compliance no6ce to the owner of record and no6fy the property management company. I f the property is unsecured, staff will coordinate an inspec6on with BC Police and/or BC F ire to ensure that no one is occupying the building and the property is not
damaged. As a precau6on and depending on the nature of the issue, s taff may do a s econd round later in the day to ensure that the building remains secured, unoccupied, or there isn't unwanted dumping of trash, garbage, debris , graffi6, or ac6vity.
D ue to the increas e staff 6me in monitoring commercial vacant proper6es, staff would like the Council to consider adop6ng a separate commercial vacant building fee. There are other ci6es in the metro area that have a vacant building program, however, few ci6es differen6ate
between residen6al or commercial proper6es. Minneapolis and St. Paul have the most vigorous vacant building program and their fees vary depending on the length of vacancy and size of the building. For example, in the City of St. Paul, a vacant commercial building that is 100,000
sq. I. would cost $1,318.00. The City of Minneapolis, does not make a dis6nc6on between commercial or res iden6al. The vacant building fee is $7,087 per year.
Currently, there are 5 major commercial vacant proper6es in the C ity: the former Sears building; the former Target building; the former bowling alley; the former Brown College building, and the former Wal-Mart building. D ue to the vulnerabili6es of the proper6es, staff completes
an inspec6on of each property daily to ensure that the proper6es are secured, maintained, and there are no unwanted individuals living in or occupying the outdoor spaces. S taff would take approximately 15-20 minutes to drive around the property and check doors and areas that
would allow for individuals to hide or take s helter. Staff then documents the follow-up inspec6on in I MS .
However, in the past couple of years, there have been several iss ues with a few of the buildings requiring staff to visit mul6ple 6mes throughout the day, resul6ng in addi6onal resources and City staff. Many of the proper6es are oIen used to dump garbage, large furniture and auto
parts, or construc6on debris . Staff spends 6me documen6ng the dumping and sending correspondences or phone calls with property managers to ensure that the dumping gets removed as quickly as possible.
I n situa6ons where there are break-ins or property damage, s taff spends addi6onal 6me at the property to ensure that the property gets secured and cleared by B C P D. The amount of 6me can vary, but it is usually no less than 1 hour working on sending emails and making phone
calls, taking photos, and contac6ng B C P D to clear the building and have it temporarily re-secured.

The annual esmated staffing cost relang to commercial vacant properes is $8,389.38.
