NORTH MISSISSIPPI RRGTONAL PARK PLAN The City Manager introduced Shirley Bonine, Vice Chairman, and Marty Jessen, Associate Chairman, of the Hennepin Suburban Park District. Ms. Bonine stated that the Park Board had voted co accept the plan leaving the west side of Lyndale out of the proposed plan. Councilmember Theis asked why the area on the west side of Lyndale had been left out of the plan. Mr. Jessen stated that the neighbors in the area were quite concerned over the proposed park plan due to the fact that they had just been put through the construction of the 1-94 freeway and the difficult reconstruction project on Lyndale Avenue. They stated that they had a desire to maintain the area as a neighborhood and they did not want to lose their equity advantages. Councilmember Theis asked why this area had initially been included in the proposed plan. Mr. Jessen stated that the proposed plan has a limited amount of space and that using the area on the west side of Lyndale would have allowed them to add more features.to the park. As it stands now, the park would offer trail systems on the east side of Lyndale. Councilmember Theis asked if there would be any users' fees for these parks. Mr. Jessen stated chat there had been very little discussion on this topic and that they would be discussing it more in the future. Councilmember Theis asked if the west side of Lyndale is permanently out of the plan or just for the moment. Mr. Jessen stated that it is permanently out of the proposed park plan unless the City or the State specifically ask for reconsideration in the future. Councilmember Lhotka asked what would happen to the existing pump station that it is on the east side of Lyndale. The City Manager stated that it will stay on the site but there will be some beautification plans for the area. Councilmember Lhotka inquired about the boat launch that is now at Riverridge Park. The City Manager stated that with the widening of the I-694 bridge, it would most likely eliminate the boat launch area on the south side of the bridge. Mayor Nyquist recognized Tony Schmid, 5500 Lyndale Avenue North, who stated that when the plans and construction of I-94 and the reconstruction of Lyndale Avenue were taking place, the 'City did not state that they had any short or long term plans for a park in the area. He asked whether the residents had not been given the full truth two years ago, or if the Council is now acting on the whims of legislators. Mayor Nyquist stated that neither he nor any of the other Councilmembers knew anything of these park plans when the reconstruction took place on Lyndale Avenue. He stated that he is quite disturbed by the way this whole park plan came about. Mr. Schmid stated that-he would like the Council to reject the project until a firm time frame has been set. Mr. Jessen stated that the final acquisitions should all take place within eight years. He added that they have no other firm dates from that point. Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Bud Murphy, 5607 Lyndale Avenue North, who asked if there is money immediately available to acquire these homes or if the residents would be left hanging in limbo because of the lack of funds. The City Manager stated that it was his understanding chat there is money available for when the residents are ready to sell. Ms. Bonine stated that there are $1.5 million • 6-23-86 -6- set aside for the acquisition. Mr. Murphy asked if the park board would condemn or wait until the residents are ready to sell. Ms. Bonin stated that the residents could stay in their homes as long as they wanted. She added that the park board does not have the authority to condemn a property. Mr. Schmid asked what would happen with the proposed park if the City Council rejects the plan. The City Manager stated that nothing could be done at this point. Ms. Bonine stated that the park board did not initiate this plan, it was the State Legislature. Councilmember Lhotka asked if a person were to stay in his home for 20 years would he receive a fair market value on his home. Mr. Jessen stated that at the time a person is ready to sell his home, a market appraisal would be done and that the price would be set at a fair market value. Councilmember Scott stated that one of the main objections from the City and the school district was the tax loss. She noted that the school district is also very concerned with the loss of students. Mr. Jessen stated that there would be a four year tax repayment plan of the City taxes. He stated the first year after the sale 80% of the City taxes would be paid and then downward to 60%, 40% and 20%. Councilmember Lhotka stated that he has some concerns for the people that are living there presently. He asked if there was anything that could be done to set a firmer time frame. The City Manager stated that parts of the proposed park plan could be completed before all the properties were sold. Councilmember Lhotka stated that he is worried about making a decision that could affect people 20 years from now. He then asked if there has been any studies done that indicate that there will be people to use the park. Mr. Jessen stated that once the park is developed there would be a great many uses for it. The City Manager stated that staff would al%ticipate great usage of the park and that the more activity in the area the less vandalism that would occur. There was a motion by Councilmember Theis to concur with the recommendation submitted by the Park and Recreation Commission. The motion died for lack of a second. There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka to reject the entire concept of the proposed park. Councilmember Scott inquired if rejecting the concept of the park would also be saying that the City's Comprehensive Plan is wrong. The City Manager noted that at this present time the proposed park plan meets the requirements of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Upon vote being taken on the foregoing motion, Mayor Nyquist seconded the motion. Councilmember Lhotka noted that if the Council accepts the plan nothing will be done in the park for at least eight years. He added that everything in the plan is so undefined except for the boundaries. He added that he felt some day, if and when all the property became available to the City, the City would have more control than if it were owned by Hennepin County. Upon vote being taken on the preceding motion, the motion passed. RECESS • 6-23-86 -7- /o 0 Harshad Bhatt 7206, 12 West River Road Charles Q. Hillstrom 1215, 17 54th Avenue N. The motion passed. RESOLUTIONS (CONTINUED) The City Manager presented a Resolution Accepting Proposals for Booster Pumps and for Reconstructing Pump Vaults for Water Quality Improvement Project No. 1986-18. Councilmember Theis referred to item 5 in the resolution and asked what the funding source refers to. The Director of Public Works said the funding source should be the Public Utilities Fund. RESOLUTION NO. 86-116 Member Rich Theis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption subject to the amendment of item 5 as follows: "5. Payment for work completed under the contracts above shall be charged to the Public Utilities Fund." RESOLUTION ACCEPTING PROPOSALS FOR BOOSTER PUMPS AND FOR RECONSTRUCTING PUMP VAULTS FOR WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1986-18 The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Celia Scott, and the motion passed unanimously. PROCLAMATION DECLARING "NATIONAL NIGHT OUT". AUGUST 12, 1986 Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Phil Cohen, President of the Brooklyn Center Crime Prevention Fund, who stated that "National Night Out" has been proclaimed by Congress as August 12, 1986. Mr. Cohen pointed out that various communities in the Twin Cities area have participated in the "National Night Out" in previous years. He said this activity recognizes that the community has citizen participation in crime prevention, and it lets the criminal element know that Brooklyn Center is alert to what is happening in its community. Councilmember Theis asked if the value of this one night out is expected to show a decrease in crime for the one night or over a longer period of time. Mr. Cohen responded that the one night will not necessarily have an effect on the overall crime rate, but it does let the community know that the Crime Prevention Fund is involved. He pointed out that the Crime Prevention Fund has the crime tips phone available 365 days per year. Member"Bill Hawes introduced the following proclamation and moved its adoption: PROCLAMATION DECLARING "NATIONAL NIGHT OUT", AUGUST 12, 1986 The motion for the adoption of the foregoing proclamation was duly seconded by member Celia Scott, and the motion passed unanimously. The City Manager presented a Resolution Approving Agreement with City of Brooklyn Park for Extension of'Trail System in Palmer Lake Park (Improvement Project No. 1986-13). He noted that the bicycle trail stops 600 feet short of the northern boundary of Brooklyn Center. In the past, the City did not know where Brooklyn Park would build their trail to Brooklyn Center's City limits, 7-28-86 -3- but now the plans are firm. The City Manager said the Director of Public Works feels the price for this project is a good one. The Director of Public Works noted that when the entire project is totally completed, the trailway system will go all the way to Coon Rapids. Councilmember Theis asked how much of Palmer Lake will not have a trail around it, and the Director of Public Works said there will only be a gap between 69th and 70th Avenues North on the north side of the lake. Councilmember Theis requested that this area be considered for final development. RESOLUTION NO. 86-117 Member Rich Theis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION APPROVING AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF BROOKLYN PARK FOR EXTENSION OF TRAIL SYSTEM IN PALMER LAKE PARK (IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1986-13) The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Bill Hawes, and the motion passed unanimously. The.City Manager presented a Resolution Amending Appropriation for Remodeling of Police Department, Phase II (Improvement Project No. 1986-02, Contract 1986-B). Councilmember Scott asked if this would complete everything that the Police Department needs done for its remodeling, and the City Manager responded affirmatively. He added that there will be some repainting of the squad room, but this will be a 1987 budget request. RESOLUTION NO. 86-118 Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION AMENDING APPROPRIATION FOR REMODELING OF POLICE DEPARTMENT, PHASE II (IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1986-02, CONTRACT 1986-B) The Director of Public Works pointed out a typographical error in the resolution, noting that the word "finding" in the last sentence should read "funding". Councilmember Scott requested that this correction be made in the resolution. The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Bill Hawes, and upon vote being taken on the resolution, the motion passed unanimously. The City Manager presented a Resolution Approving Change Order to Contract for Construction of Storm Sewer for Earle Brown Farm (Improvement Project No. 1986- 08, Contract 1986-I). He noted this change order provides for the installation of storm and sanitary sewer connections to serve the proposed Earle Brown Commons site. Councilmember Hawes asked why the change order is necessary and wondered if this was overlooked at the time of the original bid. The Director of Public Works stated that the sanitary sewer running across the parking lot to Ryan's office building will serve the proposed housing complex. At the time of the development of the specifications and the bidding, the proposed housing complex was not mentioned in the original contract. There was still a possibility at that time that the design and location of the housing complex would change, and, therefore, staff did not feel comfortable including this item • 7-28-86 -4- Member Rich Theis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 86-117 RESOLUTION APPROVING AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF BROOKLYN PARK FOR EXTENSION OF TRAIL SYSTEM IN PALMER LAKE PARK (IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1986-13) BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Brooklyn Center that: 1.

Splinter, City Manager FROM: Sy Knapp, Director of Public Works DATE: July 24, 1986 RE: Agreement with the City of Brooklyn Park for Extension of Trail System in Palmer Lake Park The City of Brooklyn Center's Shingle Creek Trailway system now terminates at a point in Palmer Lake Park approximately 600 feet south of the boundary between the City of Brooklyn Center and the City of Brooklyn Park. The City of Brooklyn Park now plans to proceed with the construction of a trailway system which serves the portion of Palmer Lake Park lying within the City of Brooklyn Park. Plans and specifications have been prepared for this work and bids have been taken for the completion of this project. Brooklyn Park received 6 bids for the project with total bids as follows: Bidder Amount Veit and Company $110,800.00 Ideal Paving, Inc. $115,148.00 Hardrives, Inc. $154,495.00 Alber Construction $160,545.00 Barber Construction $182,883.00 C.S. McCrossan, Inc. $189,835.00 Based on earlier discussions with us the Brooklyn Park specifications provided that the City of Brooklyn Park may require the contractor to construct the missing segment in Brooklyn Center if the City of Brooklyn Center requests that the City of Brooklyn Park proceed with that construction on a reimbursement basis. Our analysis shows that the Brooklyn Center portion for construction of the 600 feet of trailway within Brooklyn Center would be as follows: Construction Contract Cost $ 8,418.00 Contingency (10%) 842.00 Subtotal $ 8,260.00 Engineering (10%) S 940.00 TOTAL COST $ 10,200.00 6301 SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA 55430 July 24, 1986 Page 2 It is my opinion that this is a very reasonable price and I recommend that the City of Brooklyn Center enter into agreement with the City of Brooklyn Park for completion of the trailway system under their contract.
