Councilmember Marquita Butler was absent and excused. Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, City Clerk/Interim Assistant City Manager Barb Suciu, and City Attorney Jason Hill. CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS Councilmember Jerzak stated he has a number of concerns, but others should share their comments first. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked if Staff addressed concerns brought up in the public hearing related to Consent Agenda Item 6p. Resolution Declaring Costs to be Assessed and Calling for a Public Hearing on Proposed Special Assessments for Improvement Project No. 2023-03, 51st Avenue Improvements. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson then asked if the staff has attempted bonding or will attempt bonding for Consent Agenda Item 6n. Resolution Supporting the Authority to Impose a Local Sales Tax to fund a Specific Capital Improvements Providing Regional Benefit, to Establish the Duration of the Tax and the Revenue to be raised by the Tax, and to Authorize the City to Issue Bonds Supported by the Sales Tax Revenue. She noted any decision to expand or update the Community Center would be decided on by the voters. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson noted Consent Agenda Item 6k. Resolution Appointing Council Members to Commissions and Outside Organizations includes membership fees. She asked if the Rotary could be considered for a membership fee. 1/9/23 -2- Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson added Consent Agenda Item 6l. Resolution Setting the 2023 Fee Schedule has several additions. She asked if the changes were due to Code changes. Coun- cilmember Lawrence-Anderson explained she would like to table Consent Agenda Item 6l. Reso- lution Setting the 2023 Fee Schedule as she would prefer further discussion in a Work Session. Mayor Graves asked if there is an issue with tabling the Consent Agenda Item 6l. Resolution Set- ting the 2023 Fee Schedule. City Manager Reggie Edwards stated that would not be a problem as long as the current fee schedule would remain in place. There were no objections from the Council. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked if Staff addressed concerns brought up in the public hearing related to Consent Agenda Item 6p. Resolution Declaring Costs to be Assessed and Calling for a Public Hearing on Proposed Special Assessments for Improvement Project No. 2023-03, 51st Avenue Improvements. Dr. Edwards stated Staff met with community members with concerns and provided a further explanation regarding the fees. Staff will continue to mitigate the fees and lower them as much as possible. Councilmember Kragness pointed out that her concerns were already addressed. Councilmember Jerzak explained he would abstain from the votes on the minutes as he was not present at the meetings. He noted Consent Agenda Item 6d. Resolution Declaring Commitment to the Brooklyn Center City needs to include the updates to the Charter that have recently passed. Councilmember Jerzak stated he would have to abstain from voting on Consent Agenda Item 6m. Resolution Approving the Contract for International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 49 (Public Works Maintenance) and the City of Brooklyn Center for the Calendar years 2023-2025 due to a conflict of interest. Councilmember Jerzak added Consent Agenda Item 6n. Resolution Supporting the Authority to Impose a Local Sales Tax to fund a Specific Capital Improvements Providing Regional Benefit, to Establish the Duration of the Tax and the Revenue to be raised by the Tax, and to Authorize the City to Issue Bonds Supported by the Sales Tax Revenue is crucial for legislative agenda items that are due on January 31, 2023. It is clear the project will need additional revenues, and community members have concerns about the increase in fees and taxes. Therefore, there must be significant community input. Councilmember Jerzak noted he was briefed on Consent Agenda Item 6s. Resolution Authorizing the Release of Settlement Funds in the Matter of Alayna Albrecht-Payton vs. Kimberly Ann Potter in the City of Brooklyn Center, so he feels comfortable voting on the item. Councilmember Jerzak stated Resolution 2019-20 establishes exclusive space for the Mayor’s office. He asked if the Mayor and Council would consider it to be used by the entire Council. He has heard from previous Councilmembers that it was difficult to connect with public officials, so having access to the office space would address that issue. Additionally, he hopes to offer opportunities for community members to come and speak with him before the meetings. 1/9/23 -3- Mayor Graves stated she was going to offer that up for discussion. Everyone on the Council is equal, and the community wants space to meet with the Council. The staff is working on adding another desk to the space. She pointed out she would prefer to hold office hours on Mondays and Wednesdays, and the rest of the Council can use the space at other times. Councilmember Jerzak stated he would be flexible with his office hours and noted his appreciation of her consideration of the rest of the Council. Councilmember Jerzak added he would like a Work Session regarding the fees in the 2023 fee schedule, similar to Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson. He referred to Consent Agenda Item 6l. Resolution Setting the 2023 Fee Schedule. Dr. Edwards explained to Councilmember Jerzak abstaining from Consent Agenda Item 6m. Resolution Approving the Contract for International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 49 (Public Works Maintenance) and the City of Brooklyn Center for the Calendar years 2023-2025 due to a conflict of interest, the item would have to be pulled and moved to Council Consideration Items. City Attorney Jason Hill noted his agreement. Dr. Edwards added the minutes would also need to be pulled. If Councilmember Kragness also abstains from Consent Agenda Item 6a. Approval of Minutes, then there will not be a majority. Therefore, the item may have to be tabled until a future meeting. Mayor Graves asked if Consent Agenda Item 6m. Resolution Approving the Contract for International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 49 (Public Works Maintenance) and the City of Brooklyn Center for the Calendar years 2023-2025 needed to be handled that evening. Dr. Edwards stated Councilmember Jerzak has a conflict of interest, but the remaining members of the Council could vote on the item. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson noted there is a list of upcoming Work Session items on the Work Session agenda. She asked if there could be a Work Session to prioritize the list moving forward. Councilmember Jerzak and Mayor Graves agreed with Councilmember Lawrence- Anderson. ADJOURNMENT Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson moved and Councilmember Jerzak seconded to close the Study Session at 6:16 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 1/9/23 -4- STATE OF MINNESOTA) COUNTY OF HENNEPIN) ss. Certification of Minutes CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER) The undersigned, being the duly qualified and appointed City Clerk of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, certifies: 1. Attached hereto is a full, true, and complete transcript of the minutes of a Study Session of the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center held on January 9, 2023. 2. That said meeting was held according to due call and notice thereof and was duly held at Brooklyn Center City Hall. 3. That the City Council adopted said minutes at its January 23, 2023, Regular Session. City Clerk Mayor 1/9/23 -1- MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA REGULAR SESSION JANUARY 9, 2023 CITY HALL – COUNCIL CHAMBERS 1. INFORMAL OPEN FORUM WITH CITY COUNCIL CALL TO ORDER INFORMAL OPEN FORUM The Brooklyn Center City Council met in Informal Open Forum called to order by Mayor April Graves at 6:24 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor April Graves and Councilmembers Dan Jerzak, Teneshia Kragness, and Kris Lawrence- Anderson. Councilmember Marquita Butler was absent and excused. Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, Director of Fiscal & Support Services Angela Holm, City Clerk/Interim Assistant City Manager Barb Suciu, and City Attorney Jason Hill. Mayor April Graves opened the meeting for Informal Open Forum. Lori B. stated she is a 22-year Brooklyn Center resident and mother. Her family is representative of the rich diversity present in the City. She noted her concern with the recent Brooklyn Center Police Department recruitment video as it is war-like. Lori B. stated the video is not in line with the Police Department’s Code of Ethics. As a member of Communities United Against Police Brutality, they are demanding the immediate removal of the video from the City’s website. It is currently marked private, but some still have access to it. Lori B. added the Mayor and City Manager must denounce the video. Also, those behind the creation of the video must be terminated as they are unfit for police service, and the Kobe Dimock- Heisler and Duante Wright Community Violence Prevention and Safety Act must be fully funded. Mayor April Graves requested speakers keep their comments to two minutes to allow all community members the opportunity to speak. Cynthia W. introduced herself as the President of the Minneapolis National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. She explained she wrote a letter to Dr. Edwards regarding the Police Department recruiting video and it was immediately taken down. 1/9/23 -2- Cynthia W. explained it is important to consider what is happening in Brooklyn Center. The video needs to be denounced, and the police officers need additional training. She asked who approved the video to be placed online as they need disciplinary action as well. Cynthia W. stated the video included no people of color and showed all sorts of weaponry rather than any community engagement. Her initial response was anger. Where there is diversity, there needs to be accountability. The Council needs to step up and make some changes. Lori M. stated her father was the Fire Chief of the community she grew up in, and it was a priority of his to respect all. She shared a quote, “Quality of life is key; public safety is essential. If you get those things right as a city, then many other things will go right as well.” Lori M. explained the new Police Chief has begun a data-driven police force. After he was sworn in, he stated training is of the utmost importance. Every job requires training, but not every job includes life or death like first responders and doctors. Lori M. added Chief McDaniel has noted the importance of community engagement and has been involved with neighborhood meetings and community discussions along with Mayor Graves. There are assigned sergeants in each neighborhood and three commanders. Staff needs to be held accountable. There should be consequences for people’s actions. She explained she wants public safety for everyone and for it to be done correctly. Alfreda D. noted she is a proud resident of Brooklyn Center and attended the meeting to address the poor behavior of the Brooklyn Center Police Department. Upon watching the recruitment video, she was very surprised, particularly in light of the two innocent lives recently taken by Brooklyn Center law enforcement. The video depicted Brooklyn Center as a war zone when it is a community for many. Alfreda D. stated she shared the video to a Facebook group with a trigger warning. However, a group admin asked her to remove the video from the group. A Brooklyn Center police officer screenshotted her post before she removed it and shared it in a Blue Lives Matter Facebook group, labeling her as an agitator. Alfreda D. explained over 40,000 people on Twitter have access to her tagged account because of the officer’s post. As a Black woman, this is like putting a gun to her head. The Brooklyn Center Police Department officer has put her and her family at risk. Alfreda D. has already received six anonymous death threats on social media as a result. She had to invest in private security for herself and her family. She noted the bill would be forwarded to the City. Alfreda D. pointed out she fears retaliation from other members of the Police Department. This wouldn’t be the first time law enforcement has retaliated against people that look like her speaking up. Alfreda D. stated a former Brooklyn Center Police Department sergeant and a current contracted officer named Becker used a fake Facebook name. The officer posted on social media that Alfreda 1/9/23 -3- D. would likely show up to the City Hall and threaten them with a gun with “LOL” after it. It suggested Alfreda D. owns a weapon and is violent. The comments put a target on her and also put her family at risk. Alfreda D. explained it is the role of law enforcement to protect community members, but they have done the exact opposite. The Council needs to hold the officers accountable for failing to do their job. She noted she is speaking to an attorney about possible next steps. Alfreda D. added she has felt unsafe driving her vehicle in Brooklyn Center and she is terrified for herself or her family to leave home. She asked for the suspension of the two officers that have made comments about her on social media, an apology, and a retraction of their statements on social media. That would be a step in the right direction to show the behaviors are unacceptable. The officers who post such messages are the ones who are creating hostility between the community and law enforcement and have no place serving as police officers. Alfreda D. stated she is making a formal data request to see if the behaviors took place during their work time. She was unable to find a request form online, so she asked for the form to be emailed to her. She thanked the Council for listening. Michelle G. stated it is normal for an organization to make a recruitment video, but the purpose is to show potential employees the culture of the organization and to get them excited to apply. The Brooklyn Center Police Department recruitment video was hyper-militarized, filmed at night, and was meant to attract people seeking an adrenaline rush. The officers shown were all male and all white. Brooklyn Center is a majority of people of color. Michelle G. added it wasn’t a video just two officers messing around. It shows resources allocated to the video and many people would have had to contribute to and approve it before it was posted. Not only was it posted on social media, but it was shared on the City’s website. That means City Staff also was aware of and permitted the video. Michelle G. noted the public appreciates that the video is no longer public, but it is still accessible on the website with a certain link. It needs to be removed and destroyed. Additionally, Staff needs to receive consequences for their actions and the Council needs to fully fund the Kobe Heisler and Duante Wright Community Safety Violence Prevention Act. Michelle G. stated public safety must be for everyone and not just white people. Law enforcement should only respond to necessary calls while other trained professionals respond to other calls. Julie B. welcomed the new Councilmembers and congratulated Mayor Graves for smashing through another glass ceiling. She stated her daughter wanted her to be there, but she is at a safe house because Julie B. has also received threats to her life. She wasn’t planning on bringing the issue to the Council, but she was inspired by other speakers to be brave. No one should be afraid of those who are supposed to protect them. 1/9/23 -4- Julie B. asked for the Council to take action on the matter. She asked for assistance in leaving the room. Mayor Graves thanked the speakers for sharing their comments. They will move into a break time and then return to the agenda. She stated there are ways to be heard beyond the Council meeting such as through email and phone. Mayor Graves stated she has responded to every email and the phone call she has received. There are other important agenda items, and the Council has the responsibility to address what is on the agenda. Mayor Graves stated she was not happy about the recruitment video and understands why people are upset. The Police Department needs to recruit people, but the manner was inappropriate for those who want to serve their community. Mayor Graves pointed out she didn’t know about the video until it was posted on social media. No one in the Council approved the video. The video did not go through the City Manager, which City Staff and the Council were unhappy about. Once it was brought to their attention, the video was taken down. Mayor Graves explained the Council and City Manager are going to work with the Police Department so they understand why the video is an issue and continue the work. She stated she has every intention of continuing the work of improving public safety. Mayor Graves added it is unhelpful to cancel people unless something egregious happens like sharing someone’s private information. It could be a lack of perception. Many law enforcement officers are indoctrinated with police culture. She doesn’t believe the purpose was to cause harm. However, harm was caused, so it needs to be addressed. Not everyone involved needs to be fired, but learning will happen and an obstacle is also an opportunity. Mayor Graves stated the work requires building relationships. Cutting off relationships at the first sign of a mistake or disagreement stops everyone from progressing. She stated she will continue to have important conversations with the Council, City Manager, and Police Chief. The change will not happen overnight, but the City is committed to continuing to do the work. The community needs to have grace and continue to grow together. Mayor Graves stated are many people that want to speak, and she is happy to make herself available to anyone in the community that would like to speak further. However, the new leadership needs to be celebrated as well. For example, she will be sworn in as the first Black woman Mayor of Brooklyn Center. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson moved and Councilmember Kragness seconded to close the Informal Open Forum at 6:59 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 1/9/23 -5- Mayor Graves recessed the meeting at 7:00 p.m. Mayor Graves adjourned the recess at 7:07 p.m. 2. INVOCATION Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated as they begin a new year and welcome new leadership, she asked for a higher power to guide them and lead their purpose. Their purpose is to support the best interest of the community and support one another for the betterment of Brooklyn Center. 3. CALL TO ORDER REGULAR BUSINESS MEETING The Brooklyn Center City Council met in Regular Session called to order by Mayor April Graves at 7:08 p.m. ADMINISTER CEREMONIAL OATH OF OFFICE City Clerk Barb Suciu administered the Oath of Office to Mayor April Graves, Councilmember Dan Jerzak, and Councilmember Teneshia Kragness. 4.

Councilmember Marquita Butler was absent and excused.

Additionally, Consent Agenda Item 6l. Resolution Setting the Fee Schedule would be moved for further discussion while approving the current fee schedule to remain in the interim. Dr. Edwards added Consent Agenda Item 6m.

RESOLUTIONS APPROVING UTILITY RATES FOR 2023 City Manager Reggie Edwards introduced the item and invited Director of Fiscal & Support Services Angela Holm to make the staff presentation. 1/9/23 -11 - Director of Fiscal & Support Services Angela Holm, explained when considering rates, Staff considers how to maintain service levels, stabilize rate changes, provide cash for operating needs, provide cash for capital projects, and provide cash for debt service. Ms. Holm showed upcoming projects for utility improvements in 2023. There would be street improvements, lift station rehabilitation, crossing replacements, and projects in the Water Treatment Plant. The 2023 budget for expenditures is $3.5 million. Ms. Holm showed a chart with 2023 proposed rate changes. For water, there would be a quarterly change of $1.52. The more water someone uses the more they would have to pay per gallon. She noted 67 percent of residential consumers remain in tier I, which would increase by $0.25 per 1000 gallons. The consumption charge for non-residential meters would increase by $0.33 per 1000 gallons. Ms. Holm noted the base charge for sanitary sewer would increase by $4.92 each quarter and non- residential use would have an increased consumption charge of $0.20 per 1000 gallons. The storm sewer base charge would increase by $1.20 per quarter, the street light base charge would increase by $0.33 per quarter, and the recycling base charge would increase by $0.12 per quarter. Ms. Holm stated the typical residential user utilizes 18,000 gallons of water quarterly and would see a total increase of $12.59 quarterly. She showed a slide with comparable cities, and Brooklyn Center was in the bottom third of comparison cities for water. For sanitary sewer rates and stormwater rates, street lights, and overall utilities, Brooklyn Center is in the middle. Dr. Edwards pointed out that the comparison slides compare the 2023 Brooklyn Center rates to the other cities’ 2022 rates, so Brooklyn Center would drop in the comparisons once those other rates are made public. Councilmember Kragness moved and Councilmember Jerzak seconded to open the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Laurie M. asked if the Council has considered alternative rates for seniors or those with disabilities as she makes more than the average person on a fixed income. Some other cities offer alternative rates for seniors and are worth consideration in Brooklyn Center. Ms. Holm stated there is a discounted senior rate available, but there is not a discount currently offered for individuals with other considerations. Councilmember Jerzak asked how seniors apply for the discounted rate. Ms. Holm stated she is unfamiliar with the exact paperwork, but seniors can call the utility billing phone number to learn how to apply. 1/9/23 -12- Councilmember Jerzak asked for the process to be mailed out to constituents or that it be included in an upcoming newsletter. Ms. Holm suggested the process be added to the utility bills. Councilmember Jerzak moved and Councilmember Kragness seconded to close the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Kragness moved and Councilmember Jerzak seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2023-17; Approving 2023 Water Utility Rates. Motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Jerzak moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2023-18; Approving 2023 Storm Sewer Utility Rates. Motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson moved and Mayor Graves seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2023-19; Approving 2023 Sanitary Sewer Utility Rates.

COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS 10a. APPOINTMENT TO CITY COMMISSIONS Mayor Graves explained she made appointments to the various Commissions. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated she is pleased with the Mayor’s recommendations for appointments to Commissions. In previous years, the duty was not prioritized, resulting in Commissions being unable to meet quorum. She noted that Mayor Graves has been thoughtful in her recommendations and has included both new and legacy members. The Commissions are vital to the Council, and Mayor Graves will continue to be timely with her appointments. 1/9/23 -13- Mayor Graves noted there needs to be diversity in the Commission in terms of experience and knowledge. However, the Commissions still need to be filled to continue their work. There is also an aim to add Youth Commissioners to some Commissions and to create Commissions for Prevention, Health, and Safety, an Arts Commission, and a revamped Sister City Commission. Councilmember Jerzak suggested a Commission be created regarding sustainability. Most cities have a sustainability commission which would be beneficial for Brooklyn Center. Mayor Graves agreed that is a good idea and should be discussed at an upcoming work session. Mayor Graves stated Councilmember Jerzak will be the Council Liaison to the Financial Commission, Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson will be the Council Liaison to the Housing Commission, and Councilmember Butler will be the Council Liaison to the Parks and Recreation Commission. Mayor Graves added Councilmember Jerzak will be the Council Liaison to the Crime Prevention Program. Mayor Graves will be the Council Liaison to the League of Minnesota Cities. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson will be the Council Liaison to the Minnesota Metro Cities. Councilmember Butler will be the Council Liaison to the Highway 252 Project Committee. Mayor Graves noted both Mayor Graves and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson will be liaisons to the Brooklyn Bridge for Youth as well as Police Chief McDaniel and Parks and Recreation Director Cordell Wiseman. Dr. Edwards and Public Works Director Elizabeth Heyman will be liaisons to the Hennepin Recycling Group. Mayor Graves stated she and Parks and Recreation Director Cordell Wiseman will be liaisons to Minnesota Northwest Tourism Bureau. Darrell Sannes will be the liaison to the Northwest Cable Commission and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson will be the Council Liaison to the Northwest Cable Commission. Mayor Graves added she collaborated with Staff and read through applications to determine appointments to the Commissions. Rose Keller, Leonard Brown, Yolanda Hunter, and Christian Paese will be appointed to the Financial Commission. She noted there are still two openings on the Financial Commission. Mayor Graves stated Elizabeth Riel and Hashep Seka-Nygaard will be appointed to the Housing Commission. Travis Bonovsky, Gail Ebert, Bud Sorenson, Joe Younglove, Jennifer Umolac, and Noah Jeffrey will be appointed to the Parks and Recreation Commission. Finally, Stephen Schonning, Peter Omari, Randy Christensen, Stan Leino, Alejandro Koenig, Stephanie Jones, and Paris Dunn will be appointed to the Planning Commission. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson moved and Councilmember Jerzak seconded to ratify Mayoral appointments to the City Commissions. Motion passed unanimously. 1/9/23 -14- 10b. RESOLUTION NO. 2023-22; APPROVING THE CONTRACT FOR INTERNATIONAL UNION OF OPERATING ENGINEERS (IUOE) LOCAL 49 (PUBLIC WORKS MAINTENANCE) AND THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER FOR THE CALENDAR YEARS 2023-2025 Dr. Edwards noted there was a successful negotiation with the Union and there will be opportunities for the employees to receive raises as certain pieces of training are completed. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson moved and Councilmember Kragness seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2023-22; Approving the Contract for International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 49 (Public Works Maintenance) and the City of Brooklyn Center for the Calendar Years 2023-2025. Councilmember Jerzak abstained from the vote. Motion passed. 11. COUNCIL REPORT Councilmember Jerzak noted there was a discussion during the Study Session about the use of the office currently assigned to the Mayor. He asked if there needed to be a formal vote on the matter. Dr. Edwards stated Staff will bring a resolution back to the Council. Mayor Graves asked for Councilmembers to identify times they would like to use the office to Staff and the rest of the Council. Councilmember Jerzak asked how he could communicate the office hours on the City’s online calendar. Mayor Graves asked for Councilmember Jerzak to email the City Clerk with his office hours to post on the online calendar. Councilmember Jerzak asked how the office hours could be communicated to the rest of the Council without violating open meeting laws. Dr. Edwards added any office hours communicated to Staff could be provided to the Council through the weekly update. Mayor Graves reported on her attendance at the following and provided information on the following upcoming events: • Stated she is part of a Mayoral group working on equity issues throughout various jurisdictions. Councilmember Jerzak asked for a future time to reconsider its designated depositories. For example, Wells Fargo has had recent issues with equity and it is the role of the Council to show leadership. Mayor Graves noted her agreement. 12.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Brooklyn Center affirms that RESOLUTION NO. _______________ healthcare is a basic human need, which must be guaranteed to all Minnesotans and U.S. residents through a well-designed and efficient public health finance system that guarantees health coverage to all individuals regardless of employment status. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that to achieve the goal of a well-designed and efficient public health finance system the council endorses the Minnesota Health Plan (S.F. 1643) and the federal Medicare for All Act of 2021 (H.R. 1976). BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the council urges Brooklyn Center state and federal legislative delegations to co-sponsor and support the Minnesota Health Plan (S.F. 1643) and the federal Medicare for All Act of 2021 (H.R. 1976), or similar legislation.

CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center City Council met in Special Session called to order by Mayor Mike Elliott at 6:37 p.m. 2. ROLL CALL Mayor Mike Elliott and Councilmembers Marquita Butler, Kris Lawrence-Anderson, Dan Ryan, and April Graves were present. Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, Director of Fiscal & Support Services Angela Holm, and Communication Coordinator/Interim Assistant City Manager Angel Smith. 3. 2023 BUDGET 3a. CONSIDERATION OF THE 2023 BUDGET AND PUBLIC HEARING City Manager Reggie Edwards introduced the item and commended Council, Staff, and community for moving together through the churning times. The City faced a unique economic condition along with COVID-19, the death of Daunte Wright, and civil unrest. Dr. Edwards showed a table with comparison cities, their population, poverty level, per capita income, and median housing value. Of the comparable cities, Brooklyn Center has the highest poverty level, the lowest per capita income, and the lowest median housing value. When presenting the budget, Staff must consider what is affordable and accessible to the community. He added the tax capacity of Brooklyn Center is primarily residential. Dr. Edwards stated the City must consider how to diversify the tax base. Dr. Edwards explained the budget considered organizational stability, the balance of the community both now and in seven generations, and light of gentrification, Council strategic priorities, and a community-centered City through capacity building, co-creating, and being its best self. Dr. Edwards showed the organizational chart for Brooklyn Center and noted residents are at the top. Then the Council provides direction to the City Manager to enact goals and priorities throughout Staff. There is an Office of Equity and Human Resources and the Office of Community 12/5/22 -2- DRAFT Prevention, Health, and Safety. Departments include Public Works, Community Development, Financial Services, Administration, Recreation, Fire, and Police. Dr. Edwards noted the vision of Brooklyn Center as a thriving, diverse community with a full range of housing, business, cultural and recreational offerings. It is a safe and inclusive place that people of all ages love to call home, and visitors enjoy it due to its convenient location and commitment to a healthy environment. The mission of the City of Brooklyn Center is to ensure an attractive, clean, safe, and inclusive community that enhances the quality of life for all people and preserves the public trust. Dr. Edwards stated Brooklyn Center has values of customer intimacy, meaning a commitment to serving each customer with dignity and respect which requires seeking to understand the needs of each customer and deliver quality service that will be understood and appreciated, and operational excellence, which is a commitment to delivering quality services cost-effectively and efficiently and to be good stewards of the limited resources made available by the citizens. Dr. Edwards explained City outcomes include the existence of a healthy and safe residence, healthy and safe youth and their environment for seven generations to come, equitable and diverse businesses, equitable stable, and diverse tax base, a public trust, people feeling welcomed, residents feeling a sense of community pride, equitably diverse housing without gentrification or displacement, an increased household median income without harm, and a clean and safe human environment. Dr. Edwards added the strategic priorities of the City are an enhanced community image, resident economic stability, inclusive community engagement, inclusive community engagement, targeted redevelopment, safe, secure, and stable community, and key transportation investments. Dr. Edwards stated the proposed budget has several highlights. There is $50,000 assigned for market competitiveness to ensure they are keeping and attracting the best Staff. It is a phased funding process. $409,447 is for a three percent salary adjustment toward a livable wage. Almost $50,000 was budgeted for natural gas inflation. Central Garage requires replacements for $389,254. Also, general inflation was considered in the proposed budget. Dr. Edwards stated if they want certain outcomes met, they must consider budget allotments. The proposed budget includes a Performance Measurement Analyst for $100,000. It is the only new position for 2023. Several positions were requested by Departments, but there is no funding available. Dr. Edwards noted three Police Staff positions were frozen pending a labor study and the recommendations from the Implementation Committee. $300,000 has been allocated for phased funding and to unfreeze one police Staff. Dr. Edwards added the proposed budget also allots $75,000 to sustain public safety alternatives through phased funding. The strategy was to fund new public safety alternatives with grant dollars, which has been secured. Then each year, a portion of the required funding is allocated to make 12/5/22 -3- DRAFT the program more sustainable long-term. Dr. Edwards noted the proposed budget includes an allotted $100,000 for youth violence prevention and response strategy, which is yet another phase of funding. This work is done with the Violence Interrupters. The goal is to have multiple strategies to address public safety. Dr. Edwards pointed out there are several items requested by the unfunded Departments. The total requested levy increase would be 17.1 percent. The proposed budget is a levy of 6.9 percent. Unfunded requests include four part-time park liaisons at $91,000 and election off-year funding stabilization at $50,000. Dr. Edwards invited Director of Fiscal and Support Services Angela Holm to continue the Staff presentation. Director of Fiscal and Support Services Angela Holm explained the City’s current budget policies provide a basic framework and assist in the decision-making process. Policies include a balanced budget, current revenue should pay for current expenses, contingency of up to five percent of the budget, providing adequate funding for capital replacement & maintenance, the budget should describe goals, services, and programs, and a targeted unassigned General Fund balance of 50 to 52 percent of the next year’s General Fund budget. Ms. Holm noted there are also revenue policies that direct how the City maintains the ability to pay for services it provides its customers. The policies include maintaining a diversified and stable revenue system, annual revenue estimates completed through an objective conservative anal ytical process, user fees should be reviewed and revised on an annual basis, fees and user charges for Enterprise Funds should fully support total direct and indirect costs, and user fees for City services will generally be established at a level which will recover the full cost of providing the service. Ms. Holm explained General Fund revenues by source are a majority from property taxes. Lodging taxes are anticipated to increase, and the increase in revenue from licenses and permits is expected to increase due to the Opportunity Site. Intergovernmental revenue and charges for services will decrease. Ms. Holm added the budget has an overall revenue increase of 7.6. Investments would increase by 30.8 percent, general revenue increase by 59 percent, and public safety revenue by 90.12 percent. Ms. Holm showed a table with expenditures by function. From an administrative standpoint, they are running very efficiently, as seen in the percent change of general government expenditures. Police Department has the largest portion of the General Fund. $300,000 was inadvertently removed from the Police budget last year, so that was added. Also, there are some necessary vehicle purchases and body-worn cameras that result in a large increase in the budget. The budget process also considers the impact of inflation. Overall, the expenditure increase proposed is 7.66 percent. Ms. Holm pointed out the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is an organic document used for short- and long-term project planning over 15 years. 2023 capital improvements total $8.3 million. 12/5/22 -4- DRAFT Ms. Holm stated the percent change in the total City level would be 6.9 percent with the proposed budget and the HRA levy would be a 5.48 percent increase. Ms. Holm showed a graph comparing nearby similar nearby cities with the proposed 2023 levy. Brooklyn Center has the lowest levy after New Hope, Maplewood, and Richfield. White Bear Lake and Fridley have a proposed levy that is more than double of Brooklyn Center. Ms. Holm explained General Fund revenues by source are a majority from property taxes. The percentage from property taxes would go down by one percent from 2022. She showed a pie chart of the General Fund broken up by funding source, Department, and object. Police Department has the largest portion of the General Fund. Personnel services account for a large majority of what the General Fund is spent on. Ms. Holm stated overall the taxable market value has increased by 16.9 percent. Industrial and residential properties have increased the most, both of which have increased by almost 20 percent. The increases provide a larger tax base. The tax capacity for residential properties still accounts for over half of the City’s tax capacity. For 2023, it is 54.5 percent, which is a few percentage points higher than in 2022. Ms. Holm noted the median home value in Brooklyn Center for 2023 is $259,000. Since 2009, the lowest median home value was $114,200 in 2014. Since then, there has been a steady increase in median home values. Since 2022, there has been an increase of about $35,000 in the median home value. Ms. Holm showed a slide that showed the City property tax rates for each year since 2015 compared with the percentage. The percentages have decreased over time because the property values have increased. Ms. Holm stated a single-family residential home with an average home value would be impacted by a 6.9 percent levy increase with an additional $149 in property taxes for 2023. Each incremental one percent levy impact would be an additional $12. She pointed out the median value property would pay 39 percent of their taxes to Brooklyn Center. Councilmember Ryan noted the percentage change in expenditures from the general fund is 7.66 percent, which is very close to the inflation rate. The tax capacity of the City has increased due to raising home values, but the expenditures are still on point with inflation. He added the pie charts are helpful for the public to see the proportions of the expenditures. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked what the “other services” for expenditures refer to. Ms. Holm stated the number refers to the joint powers agreement, insurance, and other non- departmental expenses. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked if the number of officers is reflected in the budget. Dr. Edwards stated last year three positions were frozen, and at most 46 officers could be hired. The 2023 budget is reflective of 49 officers. 12/5/22 -5- DRAFT Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked if the labor study has a date expected to be returned. Dr. Edwards stated Staff anticipates the labor study will be returned to Staff by January 1, 2023. Councilmember Butler asked if improvements to the Heritage Center are included in the proposed budget. Dr. Edwards stated the repairs are included in the CIP. Ms. Holm added there would be some money for improvements included in the Heritage Center budget as well, which is an enterprise fund. Councilmember Butler pointed out it has been difficult to fill police roles. She asked if the budget for officers can be reallocated elsewhere. Dr. Edwards stated the intent is to fill the positions. Excess money would be shifted to personnel the following year. Mayor Elliott asked what happens to the unused funds in its budget year. Ms. Holm stated any excess at the end of the year goes to the unassigned fund balance. It can stay there or it can be transferred out to the fund balance if it meets certain requirements. It is a savings account of sorts. Mayor Elliott asked if the excess funds would offset the levy. Dr. Edwards stated the funds would be there in case of emergency expenditures. They are generally unassigned otherwise. Councilmember Ryan noted there are deficits in the Police Department for non-sworn personnel. He asked if that was addressed in the proposed budget. Dr. Edwards confirmed the budget requested by the Police Department is included in the proposed budget. Councilmember Ryan explained there have been situations where offenders have been released because non-sworn personnel couldn’t keep up with the numbers. Therefore, it is a concern. Councilmember Graves asked if the leftover funds from the pilot programs would just be rolled over for the next two years instead. Dr. Edwards confirmed that was correct. Councilmember Graves asked what happened to the $300,000 that was supposed to be frozen. Dr. Edwards stated the $300,000 was not accounted for and not included in the budget. Councilmember Graves commended Departments for creating new positions without spending more money. It shows they run their Departments very well. She added she appreciates the additional slides at the end of the presentation. Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to open the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. A resident noted there is a line item called health with a 589 percent increase. He asked why there was such a significant increase in one item. Dr. Edwards stated the item is related to accounting. There was money received from grants in the Office of Prevention, Health, and Safety. A majority of the increase was due to grant funding. 12/5/22 -6- DRAFT A resident stated it is listed as an expenditure. Dr. Edwards stated about $250,000 has been expended from the grant funding. Mayor Elliott stated the tax statement is for 2023. Ms. Holm stated the grant funds are both a revenue and an expense to net zero. The statement the community member received only reflects the expenditure because that is the information required to be submitted to the agency that circulates the information. The money expended at the time the numbers were submitted was around $150,000. A resident stated he opposes the property tax increases as they are based on a burst bubble. The market value of his home increased by 17 percent. The estimated market value of the home online is half of that increase. The City is overestimating the increase in value and using that to over-tax residents. In short, he is being taxed at a value that he cannot sell his home for. When adding the reduction for homesteading, it is closer to 20 percent. That is one-third of his monthly budget for housing being allocated to property taxes. A resident explained he is on a fixed income, and cannot continue to afford his home with the increases. The City is increasing home values to suit its budget. Dr. Edwards stated there is a division between property evaluation and the budget. The County sets property values. The budget is created based on services needed within the community. The only role the City has in the valuing of properties is supporting homeowners to maintain their properties. A resident stated he has called the issue into question with the assessor. His property is rated as the fourth-highest property in the neighborhood, but he has the same house as everyone else in his neighborhood does. There is also a disparity in the range of home value for the same 30 houses. In the past, he has addressed the issue with the City assessor which decreased his property taxes. Mayor Elliott stated the evaluation of the property value must be addressed with the County Assessor, and Staff would provide the contact information to the resident. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked when Brooklyn Center stopped using a City assessor and began using County assessors in 2015. Councilmember Ryan stated the assessments changed under the recommendation of the Community Development Director at the time to save the City some money. Property has an assessed value and then the property taxes are driven by the tax capacity of the various properties in the City. Brooklyn Center has to be careful with how money is spent as it impacts the property taxes of homeowners. Joseph L. asked how many people are employed by the Police Department today in comparison to the last few years. Dr. Edwards stated he will pull up the number. Joseph L. stated the City property tax has increased by almost 19 percent. He showed a homestead exemption chart. The advantage of the homestead exemption only benefits him when he sells. Instead, he is expected to pay the tax increase on a fixed income. The homestead exemption is 12/5/22 -7- DRAFT useless and damaging, particularly for the houses in Brooklyn Center. He added he sent an email with more information on his concerns about the homestead exemption. Dr. Edwards stated he would respond to Joseph L.’s email with more information. Kevin S. agreed it is difficult for folks on a fixed income to afford the property tax increases. He stated he even has problems affording the increases while working 60-hour weeks. Residential tax capacity went up 2.1 percent, likely due to the increase in home value. He asked why apartment values went down and why commercial values went down. Kevin S. thanked Staff and Council for their hard work. Lilian M. noted they are increasing funds to add another officer, but there are reductions in health and safety programs. The approach seems reactive rather than proactive. She asked for the reasoning behind the approach. Lilian M. asked what is being done to support code enforcement. There are several homes in her area with some issues. She asked how the City is supporting long-time homeowners. Dr. Edwards stated the approach to public safety is a balance. The new Office was created last year which was an investment in prevention. There was a larger amount of money that went into setting up the Office which was kickstarted with a grant. Grant funding was also secured to promote additional work. The decrease in the fund was due to expenditures from 2022. The remaining grant funds will be spent in the next couple of years while building the capacity of the Office and its programs. Dr. Edwards added a housing study has been completed and the City received some recommendations that will be implemented in 2023. Affordability is a concern, and Staff tries to balance growth and gentrification. Laurie Ann M. asked what the levy increase is because it is confusing. Dr. Edwards stated the levy increase is 6.9 percent. Laurie Ann M. noted the City isn’t tracking grants and there isn’t a policy. She asked if there will be a position added to track grants. If not, she asked who will be responsible for making sure the grant information and acquisition are completed. Staff is already stretched thin. Mayor Elliott reminded Laurie Ann M. that all remarks and questions be directed to him according to the Council rules. Dr. Edwards stated there isn’t a Staff member dedicated to grants. Council has directed Staff to develop a policy related to grants. Each Department is responsible for tracking its grants, and the procedures will be fleshed out with the new policy. 12/5/22 -8- DRAFT Laurie Ann M. asked if the tax increment financing and other funding are included in the budget for the Opportunity Site. Dr. Edwards stated more information on the Opportunity Site will come forth as it is part of the Economic Development Authority budget. Laurie Ann M. asked if the businesses that have gone into bankruptcy are accounted for by the City. She asked if the City has considered awarding contracts to the businesses that have gone bankrupt. Dr. Edwards asked what the question was. Laurie Ann M. stated the JO property is bankrupt. The City has acquired some vacant buildings. She asked if the loss of revenue is accounted for in the budget. Dr. Edwards doesn’t have any investment in the property besides the initial purchase of the land. The City would recover any losses. Laurie Ann M. asked if the outstanding contracts are carried over for each Department’s budget. Dr. Edwards stated any contracts continuing into 2023 would be accounted for in the budget. Dr. Edwards noted he has an update on the number of police officers. The City is authorized for 49 officers, and there are currently 39 officers employed. 31 officers can actively take calls while others may be in training or on desk duty. Councilmember Graves moved and Councilmember Butler seconded to close the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Graves moved and Councilmember Butler seconded to adopt Resolution No. 2022-129 adopting the 2023 annual city budget. Councilmember Ryan noted all budgets are a compromise. While he does not support every line item, he will support it. He was adamant about fully funding the Police Department. He urged the 2023 Council to review public safety efforts and the excessive communications budget. Councilmember Graves thanked Staff for their work and balance of competing needs while staying true to the priorities of the Council. Councilmember Butler agreed with the comments of Councilmember Graves. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson agreed Staff is to be commended for their resiliency and adaptability. She noted her appreciation that the Police Department is fully funded for 49 sworn positions. Mayor Elliott explained he wanted a lower levy as it has a significant impact on the residents. The issue is multi-faceted. He suggested a process for citizens to become more engaged in budgeting development. The priorities need to continue to align with their values, but there is room for improvement. Motion passed unanimously. 12/5/22 -9- DRAFT 3b. CITY MANAGER'S BUDGET TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR 2023 FISCAL YEAR Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to accept the City Manager's Budget Transmittal Letter for The 2023 City of Brooklyn Center Budget. Motion passed unanimously. 3c. RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 2023 ANNUAL CITY BUDGET 3d. RESOLUTION NO. 2022-130; APPROVING THE 2023-2037 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AND 2023 CAPITAL PROGRAM ADOPTION Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to adopt of RESOLUTION NO. 2022- 130, a Resolution approving the 2023-2037 capital improvement plan and 2023 capital program adoption. 3e. RESOLUTION NO. 2022-131; APPROVING FINAL TAX CAPACITY LEVIES FOR THE GENERAL FUND AND DEBT SERVICE FUNDS AND A MARKET VALUE TAX LEVY FOR HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY FOR PROPERTY TAXES PAYABLE IN 2023 Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to adopt of RESOLUTION NO. 2022- 131, a Resolution approving final tax capacity levies for the general fund and debt service funds and a market value tax levy for housing and redevelopment authority for property taxes payable in 2023. Motion passed unanimously. 4. ADJOURNMENT Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Graves seconded the adjournment of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority meeting at 7:52 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 12/12/22 -1- DRAFT MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA STUDY SESSION DECEMBER 12, 2022 CITY HALL – COUNCIL CHAMBERS CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center City Council met in a Study Session called to order by Mayor Mike Elliott at 6:09 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor Mike Elliott and Councilmembers Marquita Butler, April Graves (arrived at 6:17 p.m.), Kris Lawrence-Anderson, and Dan Ryan. Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, City Attorney Jason Hill, and City Clerk/Interim Assistant City Manager Barb Suciu. CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked if Consent Agenda Item 6e. An Ordinance Adopting a Unified Development Code and Amending the City Code of Ordinances by Repealing Chapters 15 and 34 and Repealing and Replacing Chapter 35 (Second Reading) could be moved to Council Consideration Items so she has more time to review it. She noted her respect for Staff’s work on the item. Mayor Elliott stated he is comfortable voting on the item as they have discussed it for quite some time. He noted it would be difficult for a new Council to take on the new year along with many other new items. Councilmember Butler stated she doesn’t have an issue moving the item to a future meeting. Councilmember Ryan pointed out he doesn’t have an objection to moving the item to a future meeting, although it would be a new Council. It could be helpful for the new Council to thoroughly review the ordinance. Mayor Elliott stated the Council could wait to decide on the item until Councilmember Graves arrives. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson noted there was a slight change in the minutes, but she has relayed it to Staff. Mayor Elliott asked for the page number of the minute City Clerk Barb Suciu stated the change is 12/12/22 -2- DRAFT on page 6 of the November 9, 2022, Joint meeting towards the bottom of the page. Councilmember Ryan added there was a recent discussion between him and a Brooklyn Park Councilmember regarding concerns of insignificant engagement between the two Councils for Consent Agenda Item 6f. Rescinding Notice of Withdrawal Membership in the Minneapolis Northwest Tourism Bureau. Councilmember Graves arrived at 6:17 p.m. Councilmember Ryan suggested having a Staff member attend the board meetings to provide more thorough information to the Council. Councilmember Graves noted she is on top of the concerns raised by Councilmember Ryan. Mayor Elliott reviewed the earlier conversation about Consent Agenda Item 6e. An Ordinance Adopting a Unified Development Code and Amending the City Code of Ordinances by Repealing Chapters 15 and 34 and Repealing and Replacing Chapter 35 (Second Reading) for Councilmember Graves to provide input. Councilmember Graves noted she isn’t opposed to pushing back the vote, but it depends on the thoughts of Staff. City Manager Reggie Edwards explained the current code has problems and causes issues for residents and Staff. However, there is no particular deadline requirement. Councilmember Graves asked which issues are concerning to Councilmember Lawrence - Anderson. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson explained the document is very large. She has some questions about the sign ordinance and would like a better understanding of the impact of the proposed sign ordinance. Mayor Elliott added he would like to vote on the matter. Any issues with the sign ordinance can be amended at a later date. Councilmember Graves noted her agreement. Mayor Elliott asked how existing properties would be impacted. City Attorney Jason Hill stated any properties out of compliance with the new ordinance, would be a legal non-conforming use if currently legal. ADJOURNMENT Hearing no objection, Mayor Elliott adjourned the Study Session at 6:27 p.m. 12/12/22 -1- DRAFT MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA REGULAR SESSION DECEMBER 12, 2022 CITY HALL – COUNCIL CHAMBERS 1.

City Manager Reggie Edwards stated he was honored and humbled to have had the opportunity to serve with Mayor Elliott. He stated Mayor Elliott reminds him of the sharp wit of Malcolm X. Mayor Elliott has countless leadership qualities and has fundamentally impacted the City through the Duante Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Act and community engagement efforts. Mayor Elliott noted his first time interacting with Brooklyn Center City government was when he applied for a permit to do a car wash for his prom. He came to know previous Mayors of Brooklyn Center through the Rotary Club and other community events. Mayor Elliott thanked the community for voting for him and his colleagues for serving together. Part of the reason he ran for Mayor in the first place was due to the diversity of Brooklyn Center, noting immigrants have been the engine of the United States. Brooklyn Center has the opportunity to harness that collective and to continue engaging community members. Mayor Elliott added Brooklyn Center has become more focused on equity. The Council has uniquely enhanced tenant protection rights, reimagined public safety, and worked directly with community members. Brooklyn Center is poised to do a lot of work in the area of public safety and alternative prevention programming. Mayor Elliott stated on a cold day in February, Nelson Mandela spoke before a large crowd and said, “Do not look the other way; do not hesitate. Recognize that the world is hungry for action, not words. Act with courage and vision.” He stated Nelson Mandela believed poverty is manmade and can be eradicated. Mayor Elliott pointed out he has learned and grown immensely throughout his term. He stated he looks forward to the leadership of April Graves and has confidence in her ability to impact Brooklyn Center. Mayor Elliott thanked Councilmember Ryan for his service and Councilmember Lawrence- Anderson for her quiet yet dangerous approach to serving on the Council. She is a fiscal hawk with an agenda. He added she would have to take the role of resident historian from Councilmember Ryan. Mayor Elliott thanked Councilmember Butler for all she has done in her role on the Council. Her efforts are admirable. She is not the loudest person, but she is a strong leader and boldly speaks up for issues important to the community. Mayor Elliott thanked Dr. Edwards for his work.

The City Clerk knows everything and does a great job. Mayor Elliott thanked City Attorney Jason Hill for the work done by him and his firm. They stepped up to provide support throughout the civil unrest and subsequent needs of the City. Mayor Elliott added his heart goes out to Amity Dimock and Katie Wright. The mothers have a heart for transformation to happen in the wake of great tragedy. Mayor Elliott noted he is grateful for their work in Brooklyn Center. Mayor Elliott thanked Staff for their tireless work and all of their efforts that go unnoticed as they maintain the basic services of the City. Mayor Elliott called on the community to celebrate their differences and to continue working together for a better Brooklyn Center. Community member Lori B. thanked Mayor Elliott for his service as Mayor. He has supported tenant protection rights, City development, and public safety issues. Mayor Elliott is not afraid to go up against an unjust system. While he received scrutiny for his decisions, Mayor Elliott stood strong. Everyone makes mistakes, especially while trying to make extraordinary changes. She wished him the best in the future. Community member Julie B. pointed out her daughter wanted to be present for Mayor Elliott’s last meeting. She recalled the first time she met Mayor Elliott and his ability to make people feel seen and celebrated. Mayor Elliott showed up at an important time in Julie B.’s daughter’s life and made a significant impact. Julie B. noted Mayor Elliott faced unprecedented times and boldly opened new doors for the community despite unmatched scrutiny. Julie B. noted she doesn’t know Councilmember Ryan as well. She thanked him for his length of service to Brooklyn Center. Councilmember Ryan stated he hopes he did the best with what he had to work with. Community member Matt B. acknowledged the service of Mayor Elliott and the boldness of his term as Mayor. He stated he looks forward to seeing what Mayor Elliott does next. Community member Katie W. stated Brooklyn Center couldn’t have asked for a better Mayor in the last four years, especially when she lost her son. It was clear Mayor Elliott was what the community needed in the aftermath of her son’s death because he sincerely cared. Katie W. added her family would always support Mayor Elliott. Community member Amity D. noted her comments were similar to that of Katie W. She explained they were so lucky to have an elected official who did more than just apologize. He stood by them in the pursuit of justice. Mayor Elliott worked tirelessly to pass and support the efforts of the Duante Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Act. 12/12/22 -7- DRAFT Community member Joy thanked Mayor Elliott for his service and for trusting her to assist with the work on the Implementation Committee. Councilmember Graves moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2022-138; recognizing Mayor Elliott for serving as Mayor of the City of Brooklyn Center for 2019-2022. 7b. RESOLUTION NO. 2022-139; RECOGNIZING DAN RYAN FOR SERVING AS A COUNCIL MEMBER FOR THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER 2007 THROUGH 2022 Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson read in full a Resolution recognizing Dan Ryan for serving as Councilmember for the City of Brooklyn Center 2007-2022. Mayor Elliott stated he quickly realized Councilmember Ryan has an immense depth and breadth of understanding of City operations. Councilmember Ryan consistently shows up for what matters. He has brought ample honor and commitment to the role. Councilmember Ryan thanked Mayor Elliott for his comments. Councilmember Ryan read a prepared statement. He thanked the Council, Staff, community members, and guests for their support. His decision not to run was determined before his 2018 campaign as he realized he wasn’t getting any younger. In the days ahead, he will determine what the future holds. He thanked the community members for electing him multiple times and for trusting him. Councilmember Ryan noted he would forever be in their debt. Councilmember Ryan thanked his wife for her continued support and the volunteers who helped with his campaign. Councilmember Ryan pointed out the impact former City Manager Curt Boganey had on his time as a Councilmember. Mr. Boganey was wise and helped Councilmember Ryan become a better public servant. Councilmember Ryan thanked Dr. Edwards for his professionalism and hard work throughout the difficult recent times and Mr. Hill for his service to the City. Councilmember Ryan thanked the Brooklyn Center Police Department for their commitment to serving the City, especially in difficult circumstances. Public safety is the primary job of the City. Councilmember Ryan noted Council sets the priorities for the City and the City Manager directs Staff to fulfill the priorities. Local government is a collaborative effort, so any successes during his tenure are due to the combined work of Staff and Council. Councilmember Ryan stated the new Council will be a great team and will move the City in the right direction. Councilmember Ryan shared a quote by John F. Kennedy, “One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.” Councilmember Ryan stated he was one person who just tried. 12/12/22 -8- DRAFT Councilmember Butler thanked Councilmember Ryan for his service. He has always show n up with dedication and integrity. Councilmember Ryan has missed very few meetings and always dresses up. He has a great depth of knowledge, and she has grown from knowing and interacting with Councilmember Ryan. She added the value of Councilmember Ryan’s insight will be missed by the Council. Councilmember Ryan thanked Councilmember Butler for her comments. Councilmember Graves stated Councilmember Butler hit most of her key points. She shared a story of getting to know Councilmember Ryan and discussing a resolution promoting racial equity in Brooklyn Center. Councilmember Graves noted she and Councilmember Ryan may have different perspectives, but they have been able to have robust, healthy discussions. She thanked him for his service. Councilmember Ryan thanked Councilmember Graves. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson noted 16 years of public service is a feat, and Councilmember Ryan has had an unwavering commitment to Brooklyn Center. He epitomizes who a public servant is. She will miss his thoroughness and attention to detail. Councilmember Ryan has the uncanny ability to relate every conversation to the French Revolution or World War II. She stated it has been a pleasure to serve with Councilmember Ryan and he will be missed. Councilmember Ryan thanked Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson for her comments.

He noted his profound appreciation for the Public Works Staff. 8. PUBLIC HEARINGS 8a. RESOLUTION NO. 2022-140; APPROVING PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2022-006 REQUESTING ISSUANCE OF A SPECIAL USE 12/12/22 -9- DRAFT PERMIT TO OPERATE AN ADULT DAY CARE FACILITY AT 6070 SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY City Manager Reggie Edwards introduced the item and invited Associate Planner Olivia Boerschinger to continue the presentation. Associate Planner Olivia Boerschinger explained Golden Age Adult Day Care LLC is requesting review and consideration of an application to allow for the issuance of a Special Use Permit for the property located at 6070 Shingle Creek Parkway. Ms. Boerschinger stated there are plans to remodel the space to include ADA restrooms, a prep kitchen, offices, and group space. The business would provide transportation for clients and anticipates hiring 3-4 employees. Additionally, the applicant does not require outdoor storage and no additional parking is required. Ms. Boerschinger noted the C2 (Commerce) District does not acknowledge “adult daycare” uses as a permitted or Special Use, nor is the use mentioned anywhere in the City’s existing Zoning Code. Minnesota State Statute defines “adult daycare center, adult da y services center, or center” as, “a facility that provides adult day care or adult day services to functionally impaired adults on a regular basis for periods of less than 24 hours a day in a setting other than a participant’s home or the residence of the facility operator.” Ms. Boerschinger added adult day centers are center-based facilities directly licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) that provide adult day services to functionally impaired adults regularly and are regulated by Minnesota Rules, parts 9555.9600 to 9555.9730. These rules set forth requirements governing: the development of programming to respond to identified needs of the individual, rights of people receiving services, staff qualifications, orientation and training requirements, service expectations to ensure the health and safety of people receiving services, and policy and procedure requirements of the program. Ms. Boerschinger explained the “group daycare facilities” use is typically geared toward the more traditionally seen child daycare model. As was the case in the approval of the other adult day care facilities in Brooklyn Center, Kashia Adult Day Services (C1 District, approved in 2003), and 5615 Brooklyn Boulevard (C1 District, approved in 2018), the Applicant’s submittal is similar in that their clients would not be suffering from severe medical problems and would utilize the adult day care for socialization opportunities, peer support, nutritional health, and other social services. Ms. Boerschinger showed a photo of the proposed interior layout. Ms. Boerschinger noted per the Standards of Special Use Permits, a Special Use Permit may be granted by the City Council after the demonstration by evidence that all requirements are met. First, the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will promote and enhance the general public welfare and will not be detrimental to or endanger public health, safety, morals, or comfort. 12/12/22 -10- DRAFT Ms. Boerschinger stated the applicant has noted that it is not his intent to endanger the public health, safety, morals, or comfort of his intended clients or the general public. As adult daycare uses are licensed through the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS), the use is conditional upon receiving approval from the State to operate at the Subject Property and ensuring all outstanding comments identified by City staff, including the City Building Official, Fire Inspector, and City Planner, are addressed. Before applying for the Special Use Permit, the Applicant contacted the City Building Official to discuss the potential use and provided preliminary plans to remodel the suite to accommodate the needs of the adult day care. Additional ADA-compliant bathrooms will need to be constructed, as well as the installation of a prep kitchen for client food needs (to be further addressed by the Hennepin County Health Department). Ms. Boerschinger explained as clients would not be driving to and from the Subject Property, safety is considered by having the clients picked up at their respective residences and dropped off at the front entry by a transport vehicle. Clients would be supervised throughout the day by staff and the facility would typically be open Monday through Friday during the daytime hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The use is intended to provide functionally impaired adults with an individualized and coordinated set of services including health services, social services, and nutritional services that are directed at maintaining and improving the participants’ capabilities for self-care. The centralized location also allows clients a place to socialize regularly rather than in a potentially more isolated setting at home. Ms. Boerschinger stated next, there is a requirement that special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. The special use is not intended to be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair the property values within the neighborhood. The multi-tenant building is currently occupied by a variety of businesses including restaurants uses, hair salons, a laundromat, and other retail uses. The Subject Property is directly adjacent to Cricket Wireless and Hero’s Barbershop LLC. The Subject Property is an individual suite within a greater multi-tenant strip mall building, allowing for some separation in uses. Ms. Boerschinger noted an additional requirement is for the establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. The establishment of the special use should not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding properties for uses permitted in the district. The Subject Property is currently surrounded by like-zoned C2 (Commerce) District properties, with C1 and C1A (Service/Office) District office and hotel properties located across Summit Drive on the north, and the Hennepin County Government Service Center and Brookdale Library located across Shingle Creek Parkway to the west. The proposed location of the adult day care facility is within an existing building and the surrounding area is currently developed with other retail and office buildings. The Subject Property, and all properties directly adjacent to the Subject Property, are within the City’s Central Commerce Overlay District. Ms. Boerschinger stated additionally, required measurements must have been or will be taken to 12/12/22 -11 - DRAFT provide ingress, egress, and parking so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. As previously mentioned, the Applicant contacted the City Building Official to discuss preliminary plans regarding the potential use of the suite. Formal architectural plans have not yet been submitted or reviewed. Building Official discussions provided information to the Applicant regarding potential modifications to provide sufficient ingress/egress through the addressing of door swings, door hardware, and exit signage. Ms. Boerschinger noted additional approval from the Hennepin County Health Department is required for the proposed prep kitchen area. City Building permits may be required for any anticipated remodeling, including electrical, mechanical, and framing work. Ms. Boerschinger stated parking for the Subject Property is part of a shared off-street parking lot for the entirety of the parcel consisting of the multi-tenant building it is located within. The parcel meets the parking requirements set forth for an approximately 32,400-square-foot multi-tenant retail building. ADA-compliant parking stalls are included in the shared parking lot. The Applicant anticipates three staff on-site during operational hours, and one on-call staff, although these staffing ratios will need to be confirmed as part of their licensing. Clients of the adult day care facility will be picked up from their residences and dropped off at the front entrance, minimizing the need for parking during operational hours. Ms. Boerschinger added lastly, the special use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. Per the submitted preliminary plans, the Applicant has no intention to alter the exterior of the building in such a way as to render the building or site non-conforming. About the minimum parking requirements, and based on the intended operation of the adult daycare facility, the staff is not concerned that sufficient parking will not be provided. However, the shared parking lot will need to be reviewed to ensure sufficient ADA parking is required for this as a general City requirement, and City staff may request modified parking stalls to accommodate ADA needs if necessary. Ms. Boerschinger pointed out the Special Use Permit request was noticed for public hearing at the November 10, 2022, Planning Commission meeting. This meeting failed to meet quorum, therefore the public hearing was not held and no recommendation was provided by the Planning Commission. The public hearing notice was republished on December 8th, 2022 for consideration by City Council. Councilmember Graves asked if the business is new or relocated. Ms. Boerschinger stated it is a new business. Councilmember Graves asked if the clients would be primarily from Brooklyn Center. Ms. Boerschinger explained the applicant is not present, and although it was requested, she wouldn’t be able to answer that without their support. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Butler seconded to open the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. 12/12/22 -12- DRAFT Laurie M. noted the applicant hasn’t applied for a DHS license. She asked what the timeline would be for approval. Ms. Boerschinger stated she cannot speak to the length of time it takes to obtain a license through the State. There haven’t been any improvements to the site as they are waiting to receive approval from the City and also from the State. The hearing is the first step in the process. Laurie M. stated she has concerns about modifications to a building without a license from DHS. She asked if the chicken or the egg comes first. The City wants businesses to join the City, but there is a requirement for DHS licensure before operating. Mayor Elliott stated there is a requirement for approval contingent on a DHS license. Laurie M. asked what oversight is being done and what concerns the Staff has on the matter. Mayor Elliott stated Staff doesn’t have concerns about the proposal, and they are well-equipped to enforce conditions of approval. Laurie M. asked if the application is available to the public so community members can see the applicant. Ms. Boerschinger stated the information is available to the public and is in the Council packet. Laurie M. asked how long the conditional use permit would be for. Ms. Boerschinger stated the permit would stay with the property. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to close the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2022-140; a resolution approving Planning Commission Application No. 2022-006 for issuance of a Special Use Permit to operate an adult day care facility at 6070 Shingle Creek Parkway, based upon the findings of fact and submitted application, and as amended by the conditions of approval in the resolution. Motion passed unanimously. 9. PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS None. 10. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS 10a. RESOLUTION NO. 2022-141; ORDERING IMPROVEMENTS AND AUTHORIZING PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 2023-01, KNOX, JAMES, AND 54TH AREA IMPROVEMENTS 12/12/22 -13- DRAFT Dr. Edwards introduced the item and noted a public hearing was held on October 24, 2022, to consider ordering improvements and authorize the preparation of plans and specifications for Improvement Project No. 2023-01; however, not enough Council members were present at the meeting to meet the State statutory requirement to vote on the staff recommended resolution. Therefore, the Council held the public hearing for the item but continued the resolution to a future date. Staff is now bringing the recommended resolution back to the City Council for consideration. Civil Engineer Intern Eric Knutson provided an overview of the process completed so far and showed a map of the three project areas. All three projects are partial reconstruction projects. Staff is recommending full-depth reclamation. There will be spot repairs for storm sewers. Hydrants and gate valves will be replaced in each area, and there will be a full water replacement at 50th Avenue N. The only lighting addressed will be the addition of two light poles on 51st Avenue N. Assistant City Engineer James Soltis stated there was a 51st Avenue Neighborhood meeting on November 3, 2022. There were about seven people in attendance. An overview of the roadway investigation was provided. There is a biyearly asphalt pavement surfac e evaluation and rating (PASER), and it was rated 4 out of 10 in 2022 which is considered acceptable. The pavement borings show high-severity stripping bottom of one to two inches. Mr. Soltis added that anticipated assessment costs were also discussed at the meeting. The 2023 partial reconstruction would cost around $3806 for each R1 lot, but it would cost closer to $9,342 per R1 lot if completed in 2033. An anticipated City process schedule was also provided to the residents. Mayor Elliott asked how long a partial reconstruction would cost. Director of Public Works Elizabeth Heyman stated it would depend on the usage of the street. The partial reconstruction is intended to continue the initial street project. It would take approximately 10 to 20 yea rs before the streets would need to be addressed. At that time, there is a possibility for a cheaper repair such as an overlay. If the streets were to continue at the current rate, there would need to be a full reconstruction in 10 years. Mayor Elliott asked what the cost would be for an overlay. Ms. Heyman stated an R1 lot would have to pay $1500 for an overlay. Mayor Elliott stated the assessed properties would save about $3,000 over the next 10 to 15 years by acting now. Ms. Heyman noted it is also important to consider the financial impact on the City beyond the assessments. Mr. Soltis stated the goal is to provide low-maintenance projects consistently to avoid the cost and time of a full reconstruction. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked if the community members that attended the meeting understood the reasoning behind the proposed plan. She added there are ways to pay for the improvements upfront. She asked Mr. Soltis to provide more information on payment options 12/12/22 -14- DRAFT available to residents to make the assessment more accessible. Mr. Soltis stated the residents were very supportive and took away a better understanding of the projects. Assessments account for 20-25 percent of the project costs. He showed a slide with the assessment area maps. He explained R1 and R2 properties pay a rate of $3,806 per property with a 3.5 percent interest rate. With an assessment term of ten years, the approximate monthly payment would be $34-$37. Mayor Elliott pointed out that the City carries out 75 percent of the cost. He asked why 25 percent is assessed to homeowners. Ms. Heyman stated it is a matter of policy. Property taxes would have to increase significantly to pay for the 25 percent assessment. Ultimately, it is a policy decision of the Council. Mayor Elliott noted there could be cost savings if funds are saved over time rather than through assessments. Dr. Edwards stated some communities are unable to pay for infrastructure due to a lack of money. It becomes challenging to determine how to pay for something so costly such as $1,000,000 for a blacktop reconstruction. Councilmember Ryan stated if someone doesn’t have the cash to pay for an assessment upfront, they would accumulate interest. Interest is front-loaded in the model, and the first year would cost property owners almost $47 per month. In the tenth year, it would be under $34 per month. To own a home, one has to be able to sustain the costs of maintenance. Mayor Elliott added vehicles could be impacted by poor roads. Dr. Edwards stated there are different methods used to best maintain roads. As time goes on, technology will allow for projects to be more affordable. Mayor Elliott noted alternative forms of transportation could also help with that. Councilmember Graves asked the last time the properties in question were assessed. She wouldn’t want properties to be consistently paying off assessments. Ms. Heyman stated the street was built in 1995 as part of a development project, but there may not have been an assessment at that time. Councilmember Graves moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2022-141; a resolution ordering the Knox, James, and 54th Area Improvements, Improvement Project No. 2023-01, and authorizing the preparation of project plans and specifications. Motion passed unanimously. 10b. RESOLUTION NO. 2022-142; ORDERING IMPROVEMENTS AND AUTHORIZING PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 2023-02, 50TH AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS Councilmember Butler moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2022-142; a resolution ordering the 50th Avenue Improvements, Improvement Project No. 2023- 12/12/22 -15- DRAFT 02, and authorizing the preparation of project plans and specifications. Motion passed unanimously. 10c. RESOLUTION NO. 2022-144; ORDERING IMPROVEMENTS AND AUTHORIZING PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 2023-03, 51ST AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2022-144, a resolution ordering the 51st Avenue Improvements, Improvement Project No. 2023- 03, and authorizing the preparation of project plans and specifications. Motion passed unanimously. Ms. Heyman introduced Ahmed Omar as the new City Engineer. Mr. Omar introduced himself and noted his excitement to work at Brooklyn Center. 11. COUNCIL REPORT None. 12.

The city has a need to engage in a privileged discussion to obtain confidential legal advice, evaluate the claims, and discuss potential litigation strategy in order to protect the interests of the city and its taxpayers. The need for absolute confidentiality in seeking and receiving legal advice in this matter outweighs the public’s right to observe City COuhcil discussions of its business. Minnesota Statutes, section 13D.05, subd. 3(b), authorizes this discussion to be held in closed session to obtain confidential legal advice. o Mayor Pro Tem Butler made the motion to go into closed session pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 13D.05, subdivision 3(b) for an attorney-client privileged discussion with the City’s attorneys regarding the Albrecht-Peyton vs. Potter litigation.

Kielb, P.E. Mike Thompson, AICP Subject: Opportunity Site Stormwater Assessment - City of Brooklyn Center We have completed our analysis of the regional stormwater system associated with the Opportunity Site. The following paragraphs detail the results of our analysis. Reference Documents The following documents were referenced as a portion of this analysis: • Opportunity Site Stormwater Assessment, dated December 2020 • Regional Stormwater Planning - Opportunity Site Redevelopment, dated August 3, 2022 • Brooklyn Center’s City Council Code of Policies Other items, such as preliminary cost estimates and land area calculations, were also considered for the analysis. Area Served The attached Stormwater Areas exhibit depicts the area planned to be served by the proposed regional stormwater system. A total of 48.9 acres will receive benefit from the system. System Components The components of the regional stormwater system include ponds, treatment swales, piping, and structures. The system components are depicted on the attached Stormwater Improvements exhibit. Cost Estimates Cost estimates were prepared based on 2022 construction pricing seen in the industry. The estimates include 15% contingencies and 20% design development costs. Stormwater infrastructure costs include only the portion of the system that allows for conveyance to the regional ponds. The estimated costs are presented in the following table: Regional Stormwater Ponds $ 2,687,314 Treatment Swales and Related $ 597,540 Stormwater infrastructure Piping and Structures $ 1,470,680 Total $ 4,755,534 To: Meg McMahan, AICP Date: September 7, 2022 Page: 2 of 2 C:\Users\kevinki\Desktop\BRCN LA Meeting Items\Assessment Memo\Assessment Memorandum 09072022.docx Assessment Analysis Based on the above data, the cost per acre was developed by dividing the total cost by the total acreage. An assessment of $97,250.18 per acre of developable property is required to finance the system in 2022 dollars. An inflation factor should be included to develop unit assessment amounts for future year construction. 445' 37 3 ' 423 ' 438 ' 3 8 3 ' 407 ' 409 ' 43 5 ' 511 ' 3 6 0 ' 505 ' 414' 393' 506 ' 94' 66' 70' 66 ' 5 0 ' 8 0 ' 40 ' 40' 4 0 0 ' 3 5 3 ' 516' 66' 66 ' 70' 66 ' 4 0 8 ' 4 3 1 ' 4 7 4 ' 5 2 3 ' 7 0 ' 516' 66' 25 6 ' 394 ' 390 ' 386 ' 35 4 ' 725' 403 ' 502' 318' 5 5 1 ' 39 0 ' 27 5 ' 22 9 ' 1 6 6 ' 14 7 ' 6 6 ' 80 ' 80 ' 2 8 9 ' 94' 6 6 ' 5 1 5 ' 1 9 4 ' 45 2 ' 170 ' 526 ' 5 0 ' NO P A R K I N G NO P A R K I N G H: \ B R C N \ 0 R 1 1 2 5 4 9 3 \ C A D \ C 3 D \ F I G R - 1 2 5 4 9 3 - A C R E A S S E S S M E N T . d w g 9/ 2 / 2 0 2 2 9 : 2 9 : 5 4 A M R OPPORTUNITY SITE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER STORMWATER AREAS SEPTEMBER 2022 R FEETSCALE 0 200 400 1. 6 a c 1. 5 a c 3.5 ac 4.9 ac 5.5 ac 2. 3 a c 2 ac Development Area Regional System Drainage Area Drainage Acreage## Total development area regional system drainage Area = 48.9 acres Future Parcel/ROW boundaries 15.9 ac 11.7 ac NO P A R K I N G NO P A R K I N G >> >>>>>>>> >> >>>> >> > > >> >> > > >> >> >> >>> > > > > > > > > > 27 " R C P 42" RCP 36" RCP 18 " R C P 1 5 " R C P 15" R C P 18" R C P 1 5 " R C P 2 7 " R C P 3 0 " R C P 1 8 " R C P 2 4 " R C P 18" R C P 18" R C P 36" RCP 36" R C P 24" R C P 24" R C P 24" RC P 2 4 " R C P H: \ B R C N \ 0 R 1 1 2 5 4 9 3 \ C A D \ C 3 D \ F I G R - 1 2 5 4 9 3 - A C R E A S S E S S M E N T . d w g 9/ 7 / 2 0 2 2 2 : 2 5 : 2 6 P M R OPPORTUNITY SITE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER STORMWATER IMPROVEMENTS SEPTEMBER 2022 R FEETSCALE 0 200 400 SHI N G L E C R E E K P K W Y BASS LAKE RD JO H N M A R T I N D R SUMMIT DR LEGEND >>PROPOSED STORM SEWER FUTURE PARCEL/ROW BOUNDARIES DEVELOPMENTAL AREA REGIONAL SYSTEM DRAINAGE AREA C ouncil/E DA Work Session DAT E:1/23/2023 TO :C ity C ouncil F R O M:D r.

B ackground: Julius Cochran (“P roperty O w ner ” and “A pplicant ”) of 1500 69th Avenue N orth is propos ing redevelopment of 1500 69th Avenue N orth (“S ubj ect P roperty ”), w hich is the loca=on of the former Brooklyn C enter S chool D is trict Community C orner. The A pplicant purchased 1500 69th Av enue N orth in June 2021 and currently operates N ew G enera=ons L L C , which is a licensed H ome and Community Bas ed organiza=on for people w ith dis abili=es, from this loca=on. A s proposed, the A pplicant would demolis h the exis =ng 3,5 0 0 -s quare foot, one story building, and cons truct a four-story, 64,4 2 0 -s quare foot mixed-us ed development in its place. A s is currently contemplated, the proposal w ould provide: 1. 31 units of mul=-family hous ing for veterans (mix of 3-studio units, 27-one bedr oom units, and 1-two bedroom unit); 2. 5,270-square feet of office s pace for 24-hour, on-site s ervice provider for veterans ’ housing; 3. 1,000-square foot coffee shop; 4. 2,900-square feet of commercial retail s pace; and 5. 10,800-s quare feet of amenity s pace and amenity deck (i.e. for mul=-family residen=al, mailrooms, etc.) Following a curs ory rev iew of the latest fit plan agains t the new U nified D evelopment O rdinance provis ions , the dev elopment w ould be cons tr ucted to the maximum 48-foot height permiJed w ithin the M X-N2 (N eighborhood M ixed-U s e D is trict and the maximum of 80-percent s urfacing permiJed for the D istrict. The purpos e of the M X-N 2 D istrict, as outlined in the C ity ’s new Unified D ev elopment O r dinance, is to “accommodate s mall-s cale, mixed-us e neighborhood ac=vity center s with comfor table gathering s paces , located and s caled to prov ide minor/convenience s erv ices near low dens ity res iden=al neighborhoods . Requirements for this z oning district avoid str ip development paJerns and the crea=on of des =na=on of retail or bus iness uses s erving areas beyond the immediate neighborhood.” I n general, the us es as outlined abov e (i.e. mul=-family residen=al, office, commercial/retail) are all permiJed us es within the M X-N2 D istrict. O bstacles D ensity The S ubj ect P roperty is located on approximately 0 .68 acres (29,472-square feet) and is located at the northwes t corner of 69th Av enue N orth and H umboldt Av enue N orth, w ith a four-plex apar tment building (1510 69th Avenue North) s ituated to the wes t, and Lynwood Pointe apartment building s ituated to the north (6925 H umboldt Avenue North). The S ubj ect P roperty is z oned M X-N 2 (N eighborhood Mixed-Use), w hich allows for a dens ity range of 1 5 to 3 1 dw elling units per acre and a maximum of 1 0 ,000-s quare feet per indiv idual non-residen=al use. S imilarly, the 2 0 4 0 Comprehensiv e P lan guides the future land us e designa=on of the S ubject P roperty as Neighborhood M ixed-Us e, which als o allow s for a dens ity range of 15.01 to 31 dwelling units per acre. A s propos ed, the project would exceed the maximum range of dw elling units per miJed on a per acre basis under both City Code and the 2040 Comprehensive P lan by 10 dwelling units. Parking The P roperty O w ner has pr ovided various plan iter a=ons of the propos ed redev elopment for 1 5 0 0 69th Avenue N orth. T he latest fit plan (aJached) does not provide the detail required to hone in on the parking needs for the S ubject P roperty ; however, approximate ranges were pr ovided to the A pplicant bas ed off poten=al occupancy loads defined by building code. C ity S taff has been transparent w ith the A pplicant that a parking and traffic s tudy would be required as part of any formal applica=on submiJal to the City. A s propos ed, the fit plan would prov ide 88 on-s ite park ing s talls—3 1 of which w ould be pr ovided in a s urface lot, and the remaining 57 of w hich would be provided underground. City staff has outlined concerns r egar ding the number of us es at the S ubject P roperty and their individual par king needs , which impacts the cumula=ve parking needs , as w ell as the propos ed percentage of compact parking stalls and tandem parking s talls , both of w hich ar e not s tall ty pes contemplated under the C ity ’s U nified D evelopment O rdinance. City s taff expressed concerns w ith the propos ed unit mix for the mul=-family residen=al, and w ith regard to how the tandem parking spaces w ould be u=liz ed given that all units , w ith the excep=on of one, are s tudio or one-bedr oom units . This would ul=mately require r es idents to coordinate their s chedules with thos e r es iding in other units. A ddi=onal concerns w ould relate to the us e of adj acent parking lots (e.g. Lynwood Pointe) if parking needs are ul=mately not achiev ed and as there is no r oom to contemplate a “proof of parking ” on the S ubject P roperty. A lthough preliminary, the an=cipated parking needs may range anywhere fr om 104 to 130 parking s paces . I f the tandem par king s paces were removed from the calcula=on, the pr opos ed redev elopment is poten=ally s hort by approximately 26 to 5 2 spaces. A s mul=-family res iden=al allow s for no more than tw o (2) parking s paces , there is the poten=al to minimiz e this deficiency; how ev er, ther e are a number of other us es in the building that w ill require the parking gap to be filled. The poten=al cons idered paths forward to addres s these is s ues include: 1. Reques t a dens ity variance and an amendment to the 2040 C omprehens ive P lan C ity S taff C omment: C hanges to Minnes ota S tate S tatute w ere made in 2011 follow ing a series of M innesota S upreme C ourt cas es that clarified certain statutory language and condi=ons that may be impos ed on the gran=ng of v ar iances if those condi=ons are related to impacts created by the variance. A ll three factor s of the tes t for “prac=cal difficul=es ” shall be sa=sfied in order for a variance to be approved. “P rac=cal difficul=es ” is a legal standard that ci=es must apply w hen considering applica=ons for variances and addresses the following “factors ”: Reasonableness The fir s t factor is that the property owner propos es to us e the pr oper ty in a r eas onable manner. This factor means that the landowner w ould like to use the property in a par=cular r eas onable w ay but cannot do s o under the rules of the ordinance. I t does not mean that the land cannot be put to any reas onable us e whats oever w ithout the variance. Uniqueness The second factor is that the property ow ner ’s problem is due to circums tances unique to the property not caus ed by the property owner. The uniqueness generally relates to the phys ical characteris =cs of the par=cular piece of property, that is , to the land and not pers onal characteris =cs or preferences of the property owner. Essen$al character The third factor is that the v ar iance, if granted, w ill not alter the es s en=al char acter of the locality. U nder this factor, consider w hether the r es ul=ng structure will be out of s cale, out of place, or otherwise incons is tent with the s urrounding area. S tate law fur ther dictates that a v ar iance, if granted, w ill only be permiJed when they are in harmony w ith the City ’s Comprehens iv e P lan and economic cons idera=ons along cannot create prac=cal difficul=es . Or 2. Request an amendment to the density range per miJed for the en=re M X-N2 D is tr ict and an amendment to the 2040 C omprehens ive P lan C ity S taff C omment: A request to increas e the density range permiJed w ithin the M X-N2 D is trict would have a more wides pread impact to other proper=es under the same z oning designa=on, including a number of proper=es located along Brooklyn B oulev ar d and other proper=es also located at 69th Avenue North and H umboldt Avenue North. Policy Issues I n order to move forward w ith the proj ect, the A pplicant has indicated that they w ill be s eek ing Tax I ncrement F inancing (T I F ) as well as leJers of s upport for upcoming M H FA tax credit and M etropolitan Council L C DA and pre-development grant cycles . · I s C ity C ouncil generally s uppor=ve of the propos ed development concept? o Would the C ity Council be generally suppor=ve of a request to increase the density above the permiJed range if s ufficient documenta=on were provided to sa=sfy the test of “P rac=cal D ifficul=es ”? · I s the City Council open to providing the LeJers of S upport necessary to apply for future funding and cons ider the use of T I F to forw ard the propos ed redevelopment of 1500 69th Avenue North? o The funding being purs ued for this project, par =cularly the low income hous ing tax credits (L I H TC ), is compe==ve in nature. S uppor=ng L I H TC funding for this proj ect could come at the expens e of the approved P P L project located w ithin the P hase I redevelopment of the O pportunity S ite, and of w hich received full C ity approvals in A ugus t 2022. I n the las t annual r ound of L I H TC funding, Brooklyn Center had tw o pr ojects reques=ng as s is tance (J O Companies /Wangs tad Commons and P P L ), but only Wangs tad Commons was funded.
