site; and
RESOLUTION SETTING WATER CONNECTION FEE FOR JOSLYN SITE
REDEVELOPMENT
WHEREAS, the Joslyn site is being redeveloped to reclaim a Federal superfund
WHEREAS, the City of Brooklyn Center is reviewing the third connection charges
for water service that date back to the 1950s and 1960s; and
WHEREAS, overcoming the impediments to redevelopment of the superfund site
have been substantial and are requiring large multi-million dollar grants from the State of
Minnesota and the Metropolitan Council, as well as the use of tax increment financing since the
cost of reclaiming and cleaning the site so that it can be used greatly exceed the value of the site
itself; and
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to charge a water service connection fee that
will reflect a contribution to the value of having water available to the site, but not pose an
impediment to the redevelopment of this superfund site.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center that the sum of $25,000 is hereby set as the complete and total connection fee that
would be charged for water connections from the Joslyn redevelopment site to the City's water
system to be apportioned between the three parcels.
