implementing. She stated she would like the City Council to consider stricter consequences.
Mr. Boganey and Assistant to the City Manager Vickie Schleuning discussed the 5% per day penalty
currently stated in the Brooklyn Center Code of Ordinances. He explained that staff has found that of
the 181 notifications sent out in recent months to properties identified as unlicensed or potential
unlicensed rental properties, 72% of those have been compliant in applying for the Rental Dwelling
License. They explained the process of formal complaint where the property owners are sent to the
court system where fines apply. The fines of Brooklyn Park were compared to that of Brooklyn
Center.
There was discussion on the article and information presented and opinions were expressed that fines
should be enforced for those property owners refusing to comply, however discouraging measures
should be applied to encourage those who are waiting for the City to discover their unlicensed
property.
It was the majority consensus of the City Council to publicize the existing policy to draw attention to
the policy and to show that there is a consequence if you rent your property without a license. The
publication should be in the City Newsletter, website, and Sun Post Newspaper if possible.

resolutions.

that was made prior to the hearing. He discussed the hardship of paying for repairs if the number of
rental units is decreased by the license revocation.

He stated on behalf of Staff, the resolution is well prepared.

has complied with all of the requirements of this section. The filing must be accompanied by a
fee of $25. The secretary of state shall make available for public inspection a list of newspapers
that have filed. Acceptance of a filing does not constitute a guarantee by the state that any other
qualification has been met.
Subd. 2.[Repealed, 2004 c 182 s 33]
Subd. 3. Publication; suspension; changes. The following circumstances shall not affect
the qualification of a newspaper, invalidate an otherwise valid publication, or invalidate a
designation as official newspaper.

resulting from the destruction of its known office of issue, equipment, or other facility by the
elements, unforeseen accident, or acts of God or by reason of a labor dispute.
(b) The consolidation of one newspaper with another published in the same county, or a
change in its name or ownership, or a temporary change in its known office of issue.
(c) Change of the day of publication, the frequency of publication, or the change of the
known office of issue from one place to another within the same county. Except as provided in
this subdivision, suspension of publication, or a change of known office of issue from one county
to another, or failure to maintain its known office of issue in the county, shall deprive a newspaper
of its standing as a qualified newspaper until it again becomes qualified pursuant to subdivision 1.
Subd. 4. Declaratory judgment of legality. A person interested in a newspaper's
qualification under this section may petition the district court in the county in which the newspaper
has its known office of issue for a declaratory judgment to determine whether the newspaper is
qualified. Unless filed by the publisher, the petition and summons shall be served on the publisher
as in other civil actions. Service in other cases shall be made by publication of the petition and
summons once each week for three successive weeks in the newspaper or newspapers the court
may order and upon the persons as the court may direct. Publications made in a newspaper after
a judgment that it is qualified but before the judgment is vacated or set aside shall be valid.
Except as provided in this subdivision, the Uniform Declaratory Judgments Act and the Rules
of Civil Procedure shall apply to the action.
Subd. 5. Posting notices on Web site. If, in the normal course of its business, a qualified
newspaper maintains a Web site, then as a condition of accepting and publishing public notices,
the newspaper must agree to post all the notices on its Web site at no additional cost. The notice
must remain on the Web site during the notice's full publication period. Failure to post or maintain
a public notice on the newspaper's Web site does not affect the validity of the public notice.
History: 1984 c 543 s 21; 1985 c 174 s 1; 1Sp1985 c 13 s 315; 1987 c 30 s 1; 1987 c 286 s 1;

331A.03 WHERE NOTICE PUBLISHED.
Subdivision 1. Generally. Except as provided in subdivision 2, a public notice shall be
published in a qualified newspaper, and except as otherwise provided by law, in one that is likely
to give notice in the affected area or to whom it is directed. When a statute or other law requires
publication in a newspaper located in a designated political subdivision or area and no qualified
newspaper is located there, publication shall be made in a qualified newspaper likely to give
notice unless the particular statute or law expressly provides otherwise. If no qualified newspaper
exists, then publication is not required.

3 31 A. Qualified Newspapers
Subd. 2. Exception; certain cities of the fourth class. A public notice required to be
published by a statutory or home rule charter city of the fourth class located in the metropolitan
area defined in section 473.121.: subdivision 2, is not required to be published in a qualified
newspaper if there is no qualified nondaily newspaper of general circulation in the city, provided
the notice is printed in a newsletter or similar printed means of giving notice that is prepared by
the city and either mailed or delivered to each household in the city.
Subd. 3. Alternative dissemination of bids and requests. (a) In addition to or as an
alternative to the statutory requirements for newspaper publication, a political subdivision may
disseminate solicitations of bids, requests for information, and requests for proposals by a means
authorized in paragraph (b), if the political subdivision simultaneously publishes, either as part of
the minutes of a regular meeting of the governing body or in a separate notice published in the
official newspaper, a description of all solicitations or requests so disseminated, along with the
means by which the dissemination occurred.
(b) A political subdivision may use its Web site or recognized industry trade journals as an
alternative means of dissemination. A dissemination by alternative means must be in substantially
the same format and for the same period of time as a publication required by this chapter.
(c) For the first six months after a political subdivision designates an alternative means
of dissemination, it must continue to publish solicitation of bids, requests for information,
and requests for proposals in the official newspaper in addition to the alternative method. The
publication in the official newspaper must indicate where to find the designated alternative
method. After the expiration of the six -month period, an alternative means of dissemination
satisfies the publication requirements of law for solicitation of bids, requests for information,
and requests for proposals.

DATE: 8 January 2008
SUBJECT: Depository Resolution
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution
designating depositories for the 2008 fiscal year.
Background:
At the beginning of each fiscal year, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes
118A.02 and City Council Policy 2.22.4.A, the City Council considers a resolution
authorizing depositories for City funds. The resolution includes banks and other
financial institutions as well as dealers and /or brokers managing investments for
the City. The attached resolution designates banks which may not currently hold
City funds but which may during the fiscal year, become a depository for City
funds. In addition, not all investment dealers and /or brokers are part of the
City's program but are authorized, after filing the appropriate Broker Certification
form, to transact business with the City of Brooklyn Center. This allows the City
to bid its investments among competing firms. All of this documentation is
reviewed by the City's auditors during the financial statement audit each year.

It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution granting

involving stocks, bonds, treasury notes, certificates of deposit and other
securities. The attached resolution fulfills that requirement by appointing the

SUBJECT: Resolution Recognizing the Contributions of Ethnic Populations and Heritage
Celebrations
Recommendation:
I recommend that the City Council consider adoption of Resolution Recognizing the
Contributions of Ethnic Populations and Heritage Celebrations.
Background:
As part of the City Council's goal of inclusiveness, one of the aspects was to recognize the
various ethnic populations and their contributions as well as heritage celebrations. The proposed
resolution would implement that Council policy by an inclusive list of celebrations and
contributions in one resolution. We have avoided adopting individual resolutions, while wishing
to participate in an inclusive fashion in recognizing the various ethnic and heritage celebrations
that occur during the year. By adopting this resolution, the City acknowledges these many
events that occur throughout the course of the year.
Budget Issues:
There are no budget issues to consider.
its adoption:
Member introduced the following resolution and moved
RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF ETHNIC
POPULATIONS AND HERITAGE CELEBRATIONS
WHEREAS, the City Council has established a goal to promote the inclusion of all
residents in Brooklyn Center's community life by emphasizing opportunities to include all residents
in the community's activities and plans; and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that its cultural composition has changed
significantly over the past decade, with its ethnic population one -third of its total population; and
WHEREAS, Brooklyn Center is strengthened by the rich cultural diversity of its
people, and welcomes individuals of all races, religions, and cultural backgrounds; and
WHEREAS, each individual brings a part of his or her own heritage and over time
each heritage becomes part of our common heritage, leading us to become a more united people; and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes the vital contributions ethnic populations
have made to the strength and diversity of our community and recognizes their rich legacy of
ingenuity, perseverance, and achievement; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center that the following heritage celebrations and all other heritage celebrations reflected
in Brooklyn Center's population are recognized for the purpose of encouraging our citizens to learn
more about the history of ethnic populations and how they have contributed to the culture and

Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution

The accounts on the attached resolution have been overdue for a number of
years. The likelihood of collecting any money on them, even through private
collection agency processes, is very small. For example, Wealthspring Mortgage,
the debtor for the largest amount, is no longer in business.
Most of the unpaid amounts are charges for false alarms in excess of 2 in the
case of Fire and 4 in the case or Police.
Accounts receivable in the General Fund will be reduced by 7,063.78.

MEMORANDUM
To: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Ronald A. Warren, Planning and Zoning Specialist
g g P
DATE: January 8, 2008
SUBJECT: Site Performance Guarantee Reductions
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize reduction from $10,000 to $1,000 of the site
performance guarantee posted by Global Construction for the property located at 4821 Twin
Lake Avenue North and reduction from $73,000 to $20,000 of the site performance guarantee
posted by the Brooklyn Center Church of the Nazarene at 501 73 Avenue North.
Background:
1. The following site performance guarantee being held for completion of various site
improvements is recommended to be reduced to $1,000:
Global Construction and Investment Company, Inc. (4821 Twin Lake Avenue)
Planning Commission Application No. 2006 -013
Amount of Guarantee $10,000 (Cash Escrow)
Obligor Global Construction and Investment Company, Inc.
All of the site improvements and conditions for which a performance guarantee was posted
have been installed. This two unit, two story townhouse proposal was approved by the City
Council in January 2007 with construction beginning in late May, early June 2007. Grading,
utility and other engineering department requirements including the submission of an as built
survey have been completed. The replatting of the property which will allow individual
ownership of the two units was completed this fall and filed in December 2007. All landscaping
was installed in accordance with the approved plan, but was not reviewed until late November
2007. Reduction to $1,000 is recommended with total release to be considered following
review of the landscaping for viability in June 2008.
2. The following site performance guarantee being held for completion for various site
improvements is recommended to be reduced to $20,000:
Brooklyn Center Church of the Nazarene (501 73 Avenue North)
Planning Commission Application No. 2007 -009
Amount of Guarantee $73,000 (Cash Escrow)
Obligor Brooklyn Center Church of the Nazarene
Many of the site improvements and conditions for which a site performance guarantee was
posted for this three phase building addition and parking lot expansion have been completed.
The first phase which included construction of a large, lighted parking lot to be used in
conjunction with Metro Transit as a Park and Ride lot have for the most part been completed.
Also, most of the major landscaping, screening and construction of a pond have been
completed. The Engineering Department has reviewed some of the improvements including
parking lot, curb and gutter and drainage. The Director of Public Works reports that a storm
sewer connection to a catch basin in 73 Avenue has not been properly grouted and that they
were not able to complete a full review of the site improvements due to snow cover. No as
built survey has yet been submitted and most likely won't until Phase 3 is completed. However,
given the parking lot completion and substantial completion of landscaping and screening, it is
recommended to reduce the financial guarantee to $20,000. The viability of landscaping,
submission of an as built survey and satisfactory completion of all Engineering Department
items will need to be accomplished before release of the entire site performance guarantee is
recommended.
Budget Issues: There are no budget issues.

SUBJECT: Mayoral Appointment Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council
Recommendation:
I recommend that the City Council ratify the Mayoral appointment of Christine Eaton to the Northwest
Hennepin Human Services Council Advisory Commission with term expiring December 31, 2009.
Background:
The Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council is a human services planning and coordinating agency
serving the cities of Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Champlin, Corcoran, Crystal, Dayton, Golden
Valley, Hanover, Hassan, New Hope, Maple Grove, Osseo, Plymouth, Robbinsdale, and Rogers since
1972. The goals of the Council are to improve access to human services for area residents, raise
awareness of human service needs, and coordinate and assist in planning for needed human services in the
community.
The Advisory Commission is composed of citizen representatives appointed for two -year terms by their
respective City Council. Brooklyn Center appoints two members. As an Advisory Commissioner,
representatives are asked to attend one Advisory Commission meeting per month and serve on one
Commission committee or task force during the year. One vacancy exists on the Advisory Commission
with a term expiration of December 31, 2009.
Notice of vacancy on the Commission was posted at City Hall and Community Center and on the City's
web site and aired on Cable Channel 16 beginning November 15, 2007. Announcement was made in the
November 22, 2007, edition of Brooklyn Center Sun -Post.
A letter was sent to those persons who previously had submitted an application for appointment to a
Brooklyn Center advisory commission informing them of the vacancy and requesting that they call the
City Clerk if they are interested in applying for the Commission. They were given the choice of either
submitting a new application or having their application previously submitted considered. Notices were
also sent to current advisory commission members.
Copies of the applications received were forwarded to City Council Members on December 21, 2007.
Attached for City Council Members only are copies of the applications received:

SUBJECT: Resolution Accepting a Feasibility Report and Calling for a Public Hearing,
Improvement Project Nos. 2008 -01, 02, 03, and 04, 2008 Residential
Neighborhood Street, Storm Drainage and Utility Improvements (Maranatha

Recommendation:
Public Works staff recommends that the Brooklyn Center City Council consider the attached

Public Hearing via certified mail.
Background:
On May 14, 2007 the City Council established the 2008 Residential Neighborhood Street, Storm
Drainage, and Utility Improvements project by Resolution 2007 -73. This action was taken in
accordance with the Capital Improvement Program, which identifies the Maranatha residential
area for street and utility reconstruction during the 2008 construction season.
The attached feasibility report provides a summary of the project evaluation process and
preliminary layout of street and utility improvements. The report also includes the results of a
resident survey that was mailed to all property owners within the project area. Public
information meetings were conducted on November 15 and December 6 to provide project
information to residents within the project area and gain additional input from the public. The
informational meetings were generally positive in nature with the majority of questions and
concerns relating to design details, special assessments and project schedule.
The proposed project also includes the replacement of the force main for Lift Station No. 2 along
Lyndale Avenue. The City Council previously accepted a feasibility report for the force main
replacement project on March 12, 2007. After receiving unacceptable bids, the Council directed
staff to combine the force main replacement project with the 2008 residential street and utility
improvement project by Resolution 2007 -108. Project cost and funding information for the
proposed force main work is included in the attached report.
Budget Issues:

I. BACKGROUND
In 2008, the City of Brooklyn Center will be entering the 15 year of its long -range infrastructure
rehabilitation program often referred to as the Neighborhood Street and Utility Improvement Program. This
program has consisted of a systematic rehabilitation and/or replacement of the City's aging streets, water
main, sanitary sewer, storm sewers, sidewalks and street lights.
The City's Capital Improvement Program identifies a portion of the residential neighborhood area located
north of Interstate I- 94/694 and west of Brooklyn Boulevard for reconstruction in 2008. The proposed
project includes roadway and utility improvements within the project limits shown on Figure 1. The
improvement area consists of the following streets:
Lee Avenue North from 69 Avenue North to 70t Avenue North
Major Avenue North from 69 Avenue North to 70 Avenue North
Noble Avenue North from 68 Avenue North to 69 Avenue North
Orchard Avenue North from 68 Avenue North to 69 Avenue North
Perry Avenue North from 67 Avenue North to 69 Avenue North
Quail Avenue North from 67 Avenue North to 69 Avenue North
Regent Avenue North from 67t Avenue North to 69 Avenue North
Scott Avenue North from 67 Avenue North to 69 Avenue North
Toledo Avenue North from 67 Avenue North to 69 Avenue North
68 Avenue North from Vera Cruz Avenue North to Noble Avenue North
67 Avenue North from Vera Cruz Avenue North to Perry Avenue North
Vera Cruz Avenue North from 67 Avenue North to 68 Avenue North
67 Avenue from 140 ft west of Scott Ave to 140 ft east of Perry Ave
70 Avenue from Lee Avenue North to 140 ft west of Major Avenue North
This report was prepared in response to City Council Resolution No. 2007 -73 directing staff to prepare a
feasibility report and collect public input for the proposed project. Staff conducted two public informational
meetings with residents and property owners located within the project area. The first public information
meeting was conducted on November 15, 2007 and was attended by approximately 45 residents. A second
public informational meeting was conducted of December 6, 2007. A resident survey was also distributed as
part of the project evaluation process. A summary of resident comments is provided in Appendix A.
The 2008 residential neighborhood project area consists of approximately 2.7 miles of streets and utilities.
The neighborhood consists of approximately 224 single family and duplex residential properties, one R3
residential townhome property, one commercial property (Health Partners) and one institutional (church)
property.
In 2007, the City Council accepted a feasibility report outlining the scheduled replacement of the force
main for Lift Station No. 2 along Lyndale Avenue. After receiving unsatisfactory bids for this project,
the City Council directed staff to combine the force main project with the 2008 residential reconstruction
project. The cost and funding components of the force main project have been incorporated into this
report.

FIGUI
II. PROPOSED STREET IMPROVEMENTS
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
A majority of the local streets within the proposed project area were constructed between 1956 and 1969.
The existing street pavement has been in service for more than 39 years. The normal service life for
bituminous pavement is approximately 25 to 30 years. The existing streets have an average width of 30 feet,
which is a standard width for most low volume residential streets in Brooklyn Center. Street segments
within the project area are very flat and do not have curb and gutter.
Streets within the neighborhood are aging and showing fatigue and distress, particularly along the
unprotected edges. Routine street maintenance (i.e., patch and sealcoat) is no longer cost effective for these
streets based on the extent of pavement deterioration and poor pavement drainage. Simply performing
overlay paving on the existing streets would not solve the current drainage problems within the project area.
Complete reconstruction of the streets is warranted based on the age and condition of the existing pavement.
A geotechnical investigation was performed within the project area to obtain and analyze soil samples below
the street pavement. Soil borings encountered primarily sand and gravel material to a depth of 14 feet or
more below the pavement surface. Groundwater was noted at depths of 8 to 14 feet below the pavement
surface. The existing soil material provides a stable foundation to support the proposed street and utility
improvements.
The traffic volume within the project area is generally limited to local traffic access to the residential
properties within the neighborhood. The internal roadways generally do not provide connection to other
neighborhoods or commercial areas and, therefore, do not experience high volumes of cut through or
collector -type traffic. Traffic counts on streets within the project area are not projected to significantly
increase in the future.
B. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
Proposed street improvements include full depth reconstruction for the existing neighborhood streets to a
width of 30 feet for all streets within the project area with the exception of 67 Avenue east of Toledo
Avenue. This segment of 67 Avenue is similar to an alley -type connection providing garage access to eight
homes that front the main north/south streets in the neighborhood. In order to improve maneuverability of
snow plow equipment, 67 Avenue is proposed to be constructed approximately 4 feet wider than the current
width of 16 feet. Substantial increases in the width of other streets within the project area are not proposed
due to limited right -of -way area.
The installation of concrete curb gutter and driveway aprons is recommended as part of the proposed
reconstruction of the streets within the project area. Curb and gutter will assist in conveying storm water
runoff to storm sewer catch basins. The improved drainage benefits derived from the installation of curb and
gutter will significantly extend the service life of the new pavement. In addition, the existing street grades
must be designed to provide for improved drainage to the storm sewer system.
During the public meetings, a few residents expressed concern with speeding traffic within the
neighborhood, primarily along 68 Avenue. During the design phase of the project, staff would investigate
options for passive traffic calming measures to promote slower vehicle traffic speeds within the
neighborhood.

1 The 2008 Capital Improvement Program also identifies improvements for the sidewalk on the south side of
69 Avenue (County Road 130) directly adjacent to the northern boundary of the project area. Sections of
this sidewalk between Noble Avenue and the boundary with Brooklyn Park were constructed with
bituminous pavement. The bituminous sections are highly deteriorated and in need of replacement. These
sidewalk improvements have been incorporated into the cost and funding portion of this report.
III. PROPOSED STREET LIGHT IMPROVEMENTS
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The neighborhood improvement program has historically included the replacement of free standing street
lights located within the neighborhood. There are currently 13 free standing street lights within the
project area excluding the existing lights along the north side of 69 Avenue. These lights consist of
older style wood utility poles that have been in service for many years. The existing free standing street
lights have overhead power services with aging cobra -head type light fixtures.
The City's Street Light Policy states that street lights will be provided at street intersections and at mid
i block locations where the distance between intersections exceeds 700 feet. Street lights are currently
located at all intersections. The distance between street intersections within the project area does not
exceed 700 feet. Staff has not received specific requests for additional street lights during the public
informational meetings.
B. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
The recommended scope of the project includes replacement of existing free standing street lights with
fiberglass poles, rectilinear light fixtures and underground power services. The remaining six street lights
mounted on existing transmission poles are not proposed to be replaced with the project. Modifications to
the transmission pole street lights are the responsibility of Xcel Energy.
In 2005, the City began replacing free standing street lights within residential neighborhoods with
customer (City) owned lights due to significant problems with responsiveness and reliability of
construction services provided by Xcel Energy. Fixture maintenance for the new lights would still be
provided by Xcel Energy.
Feasibility Report 2008 Residential Neighborhood Improvements Page 4

IV. PROPOSED DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The existing storm drainage system in the project area consists of a limited number of small diameter lateral
111 storm pipes installed during the late 1950s and mid 1960s. This system of lateral storm drains is generally
undersized in many locations. There is an insufficient number of catch basin structures to collect and convey
runoff from local streets. The lack of an adequate number of catch basins is resulting in minor localized
I flooding and acceleration of pavement deterioration within the neighborhood.
I The project area is located within the watershed tributary to Shingle Creek. Water quality treatment is
provided downstream from the project area as described below.
Storm water runoff from the western portion of the project area is conveyed to the drainage channel
located along the western property boundary of the Mananatha facility. The channel has become
partially obstructed with sediment accumulation and requires minor channel cleaning to restore the
I flow capacity. This channel discharges flow into the pond areas located within the Mallard Creek
Townhome area.
I Storm water runoff from the eastern portion of the project area south of 69 Avenue is directed to a
trunk storm sewer main that extends under Interstate 1 -94 and discharges into the regional storm
water pond located within Orchard Lane Park. Storm water is conveyed downstream from the
I Orchard Lane Park pond to the regional treatment pond located within Cahlander Park.
Storm water runoff from the northern portion of the project area (Lee, Major and 70 Avenues) is
I directed to a trunk storm sewer main that eventually discharges into the regional storm water
treatment pond located west of Palmer Lake Drive prior to entering the Palmer Lake Basin.
I Drainage along the portion of the project adjacent to the south side of 69 Avenue is conveyed north
through a trunk storm sewer that discharged to the regional storm water pond located west of the
I Creek Villas townhome complex.
City staff received several comments from area residents related to the lack of adequate drainage facilities
I within the neighborhood. A majority of the concerns were related to standing water along the edge of the.
street and at driveways.
B. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
Proposed drainage improvements include major expansion of the drainage system within the project area and
I installation of additional catch basin inlet structures to alleviate localized drainage problems. A majority of
the existing lateral storm drainage pipes within the neighborhood would be replaced during the construction
process. The project should include minor drainage and water quality treatment improvements consisting of
I channel cleaning along the western boundary of the Mananatha facility, minor sediment removal from the
storm water pond located in Orchard Park and installation of a skimmer structure at the outlet of the pond
located within Cahlander Park.
Feasibility Report 2008 Residential Neighborhood Improvements Page 5
V. PROPOSED SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The existing sanitary sewer collection system within the project area consist of 8 -inch diameter vitrified clay
pipe sewer mains. A majority of the sanitary sewer system was installed between 1956 and 1966.
Wastewater from the project area is conveyed easterly through a large diameter trunk sanitary sewer along
69 Avenue that eventually discharges to City Lift Station No. 1.
A majority of the sanitary sewer mains within the project area are subjected to frequent problems with root
intrusion. Public Works crews must perform root sawing on an annual basis to maintain the system
conveyance capacity and avoid sewer back -ups within the neighborhood.
During the project planning phase, all public sanitary sewer pipes were inspected with remote televising
equipment. These inspections confirmed that a substantial portion of the sanitary sewer has moderate to
severe problems with root intrusion along pipe joints and at many services. Surveys received from residents
also indicate occurrences of sewer service line blockage that are often attributed to root penetration of the
service pipe joints and connection points. Figure 1 illustrates a typical section of sewer pipe with moderate
root intrusion problems. The project contains isolated segments of sanitary sewer that are in worse condition
than shown below.
Feasibility Report
Figure 1: Sanitary Main along 67 Avenue
2008 Residential Neighborhood Improvements Page 6
B. SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
Complete replacement of the sanitary sewer system within the project area is recommended due to the extent
of root intrusion within the collection system. Isolated replacement of the problem areas is not cost
effective. In accordance with past construction practice, individual service lines between the sewer main and
the property line would also be replaced. The estimated construction cost of sanitary sewer work is provided
on Table 1.
C. LIFT STATION NO. 2 FORCE MAIN
The City's Capital Improvement Program includes the replacement of the force main pipeline extending
downstream of Lift Station No. 2 during the 2008 construction season. This improvement was originally
designed and bid in 2007 as an independent project. The City received unsatisfactory bids and decided to
combine the project with the larger street and utility project scheduled as part of the 2008 Capital Improvement
Program. Larger improvement projects generally attract larger, more established contractors with experience in
time sensitive lift station force main projects. The process of combining smaller projects with larger street and
utility improvement projects also tend to achieve a greater economy of scale and lower overall unit bid prices.
Lift Station No. 2 is located along Lyndale Avenue and receives wastewater flow from a service area of
approximately 1,680 acres or approximately 30 percent of the city. Wastewater is then pumped into a force
main that conveys the flow south from the lift station to a point approximately 700 feet south of 53"' Avenue
in Minneapolis. The force main then crosses under Interstate Highway 94 and discharges to a Metropolitan
Council Environmental Services (MCES) interceptor located on the west side of Interstate Highway 94.
The portion of the force main extending from the lift station to the highway crossing was originally installed
in 1959. The force main crossing under the highway was replaced around 1980 during expansion of
Interstate 94. As -Built record plans for the newer segment of force main under the highway are not available
in the City's engineering records. City Utility Division staff members have indicated that this segment of
force main was constructed with ductile iron pipe.
Significant leakage or breakage of the force main along the Mississippi River poses risk of environmental
impacts to surrounding surface waters. Wastewater discharged from a major leak of this force main would
be released directly into the Mississippi River. Emergency by -pass pumping would be very difficult to
implement. The installation of temporary piping or hoses from the lift station, across the 53`a Avenue
Bridge, to the downstream MCES interceptor would require several hours to implement in order to by -pass
the existing force main.
The proposed force main replacement project would consist of constructing approximately 2000 feet of 16-
inch diameter ductile iron force main parallel to the existing force main alignment. The existing force main
would be maintained for use as an emergency by -pass line. Replacement of the force main will require
coordination with the City of Minneapolis, the Minnesota Department of Transportation, and Three Rivers
Park District.
Feasibility Report 2008 Residential Neighborhood Improvements Page 7
1
A majority of the water main within the southern portion of the project area consists of 6 -inch and 8 -inch
diameter cast iron pipe installed between 1956 and 1974. The use of cast iron pipe for water main was
generally discontinued in the early 1970s due to its brittle structural strength properties. Water records
indicate that four main breaks have occurred along segments of the cast iron water main. Minor water
quality problems have also been reported by residents.
I B. PROPOSED WATER MAIN IMPROVEMENTS
VI. PROPOSED WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
Scott Avenue and portions of 67 Avenue contain 12 -inch diameter ductile iron pipe installed in 1974. Lee
Avenue, Major Avenue and 70 Avenue contain 6 -inch diameter ductile iron pipe installed in 1985. These
sections of ductile iron water main are considered in good condition with an estimated 40 to 50 years of
remaining service life. Water main maintenance records do not include evidence of past water main breaks
within these segments of the distribution system.
Cast iron water main is subject to higher rates of failure when undermined during construction, such as
replacement of adjacent sanitary sewer mains and service crossings. The recommended water main
improvements include replacement of the existing cast iron water main with new ductile iron water main due
to the need to replace the underlying sanitary sewer and given the age of the pipe material. The existing
ductile iron water main located within Scott Avenue, Lee Avenue, Major Avenue and 70 Avenue is not
recommended for replacement. The proposed improvements also include the replacement of water services
extending from the water main in the street to the water curb stop located at the front property line. The
estimated construction cost for the proposed water improvements is provided on Table 1.
Feasibility Report
2008 Residential Neighborhood Improvements Page 8
VII. ESTIMATED COSTS AND FUNDING CONSIDERATIONS
The total estimated cost of the proposed project is $5,157,000. Table 1 provides a summary of the estimated
project costs and recommended funding amounts from various sources shown in the table. Funding for the
project is further described below.
A. FUNDING FOR STREET IMPROVEMENTS
The estimated project cost of roadway improvements for all streets in this project area is $2,324,000. This
preliminary estimate includes the cost for project administration, legal, engineering, construction
contingency, and reforestation.
Special assessments for street improvements are proposed in accordance with the 2008 rates adopted by the
City Council. The standard 2008 residential street assessment rate is $3,300 per R1 zoned residential
property. This rate would be assessed to all benefited single family residential properties within the project
area. Six R2 zoned properties are located along Noble Avenue. Assessment levies for these R2 properties
were calculated in accordance with the City's special assessment policy at the 2008 rate of $44 per front
foot. The same rate of $44 per front foot was used in determining the proposed special assessment amounts
for the two large parcels consisting of the Korean Methodist Church and the Marvin Gardens Townhome
property. One R1 unit assessment is proposed for the Health Partners property that has a minor loading area
access from Noble Avenue. A summary of the proposed special assessments for street improvements is
provided in Appendix C.
On this basis, a total estimated special assessments amount of $780,306 would be levied for street
improvements. The remaining street construction costs would be funded from the Street Reconstruction
Fund. The cost for curb and gutter, common excavation and granular borrow are considered drainage
improvements for the local roadways. Funding for these drainage improvements, as well as for turf
restoration within the project area, are proposed to be funded by the Storm Drainage Utility as noted on
Table 1.
B. FUNDING FOR STORM DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
The total estimated cost for storm drainage improvements within the project area is $743,000 plus the cost
for curb and gutter, common excavation, granular borrow and turf restoration as noted above. This
preliminary estimate includes the cost for project administration, legal, engineering and construction
contingency.
Special assessments for storm drainage improvements are proposed in accordance with the 2008 rates
adopted by the City Council. The standard 2008 storm drainage special assessment rate is $990 per R1 zoned
single family residential property. Special assessment amount for the Korean Methodist Church, Marvin
Gardens property and the R2 properties along Noble Avenue were calculated using the rate of $13.20 per
front foot.
On this basis, a total estimated special assessments amount of $234,090 would be levied for street
improvements. A summary of the proposed special assessments for storm drainage improvements is
provided in Appendix C.
Feasibility Report
2008 Residential Neighborhood Improvements Page 9
C. FUNDING FOR UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS
The estimated cost of sanitary sewer improvements is $1,251,000; the estimated costs for water main
improvements is $782,000; and the estimated cost for street light replacement is $57,000. As previously
noted, these total cost estimates include the cost for project administration, engineering and construction
contingency. All costs for water, sanitary sewer and street light improvements should be funded by their
respective utility funds, in accordance with established policy for such improvements.

COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Todd Blomstrom, Director of Public Works 1
DATE: January 3, 2008
SUBJECT: Resolution Declaring Costs to be Assessed and Calling for a Public Hearing on
Proposed Special Assessments for Improvement Project Nos. 2008 -01 and 02,
2008 Residential Neighborhood Street and Storm Drainage Improvements
(Maranatha Area)
Recommendation:
Assuming the City Council has accepted the Engineer's Feasibility Report for the 2008
Residential Area Neighborhood Improvements, Public Works staff recommends that the
Brooklyn Center City Council consider the attached resolution calling for a public hearing for the
proposed special assessments to be levied in conjunction with Improvement Project Nos. 2008-
01 and 02.
Background:
The attached resolution declares certain project costs to be assessed for the 2008 Residential
Area Neighborhood Improvement Project and calls for a public hearing on the proposed special
assessments on February 11, 2008 immediately following the improvement hearing. Staff
recommends that the Council consider holding the special assessment hearing immediately
following the project hearing.
The purpose of holding the special assessment hearing prior to beginning the project is to assure
that any objections to or appeals of the assessments are known prior to entering into a
construction contract or issuing bonds to finance the assessed portion of the project. The
established assessment rate would set the maximum levy amounts, guaranteeing property owners
of the final cost they will pay for the project. Special assessments for this project have been
calculated in accordance with the City's Special Assessment Policy. The City Council
previously established the 2008 R -1 zoned residential rates of $3,300 for street improvements
and $990 for storm drainage improvements by Resolution 2007 -132.
Budget Issues:
The project cost is estimated to be $5,157,000.00. The total special assessments for this project
are estimated to be $780,306 for street improvements and $234,090 for storm drainage
improvements. A copy of the Draft Special Assessment Levy Roll for Improvement Project Nos.
2008 -01 and 2008 -02 is attached to the Resolution.

2. A hearing shall be held on the 1 lth day of February, 2008, in the City Hall Council
Chambers at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard to pass upon

Resolution Accepting Work Performed and Authorizing Final Payment,
Improvement Project No. 2007 -12, Contract 2007 -F, Storm Damage
Repairs for Public Buildings
Recommendation:
Public Works staff recommends that the Brooklyn Center City Council consider the
attached resolution accepting work performed and authorizing final payment for building
repair work by Lindstrom Construction under Contract 2007 -F.
Background:
On April 9, 2007 the City Council awarded Contract 2007 -F to Lindstrom Construction
of Plymouth, Minnesota to complete repairs to 25 public building structures due to wind
and hail storm damage that occurred in September 2005. A majority of the damaged
items consisted of roofing materials and roof mounted air conditioning units.
A second storm that occurred in June 2007 resulted in further damage to the West Fire
Station. Lindstrom Construction was authorized to proceed with the additional repairs to
the Fire Station by Allied Adjusters after determining that the additional damage was
covered by the City's insurance policy.
Lindstrom Construction has completed the construction work and is now requesting final
payment for the project. Allied Adjusters, representing the League of Minnesota Cities
Insurance Trust, has determined that this repair work is covered by the City's insurance
policy, subject to the current deductible of $2,500 each for both storm events.
Budget Issues:
The original contract amount for Improvement Project No. 2007 -12 was $135,911.39.
Additional work authorized by Allied Adjusters included the West Fire Station
($8,947.94) as noted above; additional roof and AC unit repairs for Well Building Nos. 3,
7, 9, and 10; and additional roof repairs for the Orchard Lane Park Building ($14,200.06).

Peter Tokle is requesting that the electrical permit fees be adjusted to accomplish the
following:
To increase the minimum fee (presently $27.00) in line with the present State minimum
electrical fee of $35.00.
Budget Issues: The adjustment will result in a minor increase in the City's 20 percent share of
the permit fees.
2006 606 permits issued $34,648 permit fees collected
2007 670 permits issued $37,481 permit fees collected

My fee adjustment proposal will bring our minimum fee in line with the Minnesota
Department of Labor's fee. I propose to match the D.O.L.'s minimum trip fee of $35
from our present $27, along with other small adjustments. This will reduce confusion and
help contractors send in the right amount.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Tom Bublitz, Community Development Specialist
DATE: January 8, 2008
SUBJECT: Resolution Calling for a Public Hearing on Proposed Use of 2008 Urban
Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant Funds
Recommendation
Recommend City Council consider adoption of the Resolution Calling For A Public Hearing On
Proposed Use Of 2008 Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant Funds
This agenda item provides for a public hearing for the City's annual Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) program. This public hearing is required for participation in the CDBG
program.
Brooklyn Center is one of 40 Hennepin County cities participating in the Urban Hennepin
County CDBG program. In the program, federal dollars from the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) are allocated to the County and are dispersed to the participating
cities on a formula basis.
Hennepin County has notified the City of Brooklyn Center that it expects its CDBG allocation
for 2008 will be $186,968. This amount is an estimate and may be revised. At the time of
writing this memorandum, Congress has not passed the Omnibus Funding Bill which includes
CDBG. The City's 2007 allocation was $193,749.
The federal authorizing statute for the CDBG program requires that each funded CBDG activity
meet one of the three national objectives: benefiting low income persons, preventing or
eliminating slums and/or blight and meeting urgent community needs. The federal statute
stipulates that each recipient receiving funds must insure at least 70 percent of the CDBG
expenditures during the program year must be used for activities benefiting low and/or very low
income persons. Each city must meet this requirement at the local level.
The City's 2007 CDBG program funded the following projects, which all met the requirement
for benefiting low and/or very low income persons:
Rehabilitation of private property. This activity provides for rehabilitation and repair of
single family homes of low and moderate income households. This activity has been part
of the City's CDBG program since inception in the 1970's.
Household Outside Maintenance for the Elderly (H.O.M.E.) program. This activity has
been part of the CDBG program for 13 years. The H.O.M.E. program's focus is minor
home maintenance and repair, including exterior and interior painting and some
household chore services, for persons 60 years of age and older.
Community Emergency Assistance Program, Inc. (CEAP) Senior Services Program. The
Senior Services Program provides chore services to seniors and disabled persons at little
or no cost and includes services such as lawn mowing, snow shoveling, housekeeping
and interior and exterior maintenance. The Senior Services Program also includes Meals
on Wheels. This program has been funded by the City for eight years.
Information on the performance of the housing rehabilitation program, H.O.M.E. and CEAP
Senior Services will be provided prior to the CDBG public hearing on February 11
ADMINSTRATIVE REOUIREMENTS
Pursuant to program requirements, each city receiving a CDBG allocation is limited to a 15
percent cap on public service projects. Both the CEAP and H.O.M.E. programs are categorized
as public service projects. Based on the estimated allocation for 2008, continued funding of the
H.O.M.E. and CEAP program at 2007 levels would be capped at $28,045.
ADDITIONAL REOUESTS FOR CDBG FUNDING
At present, staff has received one inquiry from HOMELINE, a tenant advocacy agency,
requesting funding under the public service category. Staff will request any agencies, requesting
CDBG funding, to submit formal proposals for funding. All such Requests/Proposals will be
included in the Council packets for the February 11, 2008 public hearing.
PUBLIC HEARING
A resolution calling for a public hearing for the 2008 CDBG program is included with this
memorandum. The required public hearing notice has been prepared and includes an allocation
for continued funding of neighborhood service projects at the 15% cap, along with continued
funding for the City's housing rehabilitation program.. The resolution prepared for City Council
consideration and included with this memorandum establishes the date of February 11, 2008 as
the public hearing date for the City's 2008 CDBG program. Hennepin County requires that
specific dollar amounts be specified in the hearing notice and that the City's 2008 CDBG
program must be submitted to Hennepin County by February 21, 2008. The public hearing notice
does not commit the city to funding any specific CDBG activity at this time and the CDBG
activities and dollar amounts allocated to them, can be revised at the public hearing on February
11, 2008, or at anytime within the 2008 CDBG year upon conducting a public hearing to amend
the City's CDBG program.
Budget Issues:
Since the Federal fiscal year for CDBG runs from July 2008 to July 2009, the 2008 CDBG
program will be reflected in 2009 Annual City Budget.

City Council Agenda Item Memorandum
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Daniel Jordet, Director of Fiscal Support Services
DATE: 9 January 2008
SUBJECT: Committee to Review RFP's for Professional Audit Services
Recommendation:
Background:
It is recommended that the Mayor appoint and the City Council confirm a
committee of City Council, Financial Commission and other members to review
the proposals for professional audit services received in response to the City's
RFP dated December 2007.
At the 10 December 2007 meeting, the City Council approved a Request for
Proposals (RFP) for Professional Audit Services. That RFP was distributed to
eight public accounting firms known to be knowledgeable in city government
audits. Seven of the eight firms submitted proposals by the 28 December 2007
deadline.
City Council Code of Policies Section 2.80.3.0 states that "[p]roposals for
Auditor...shall be initially screened by Staff, and then reviewed by a committee of
City Council Members and Financial Commission Members appointed by the
Mayor in consultation with the Chair of the Financial Commission, with the
approval of the City Council, which committee shall also include the City Manager
and Finance Director."
The proposals have been screened by me for compliance with the mandatory
elements of the proposal as detailed in the RFP itself. In addition, I have
completed an initial technical screening of the proposals to determine compliance
with the Technical Elements section of the RFP. This screening must now be
reviewed by a committee to be appointed by the Mayor with the approval of the
City Council.
The Code of Policies does not indicate a size for the committee. When this
section of the Code of Policies was last applied to selection of a Financial Advisor
in 2004, a committee of 2 City Council Members, 2 Financial Commission
Members, the City Manager and the Finance Director reviewed the proposals and
made a recommendation to the City Council, which was subsequently adopted.
Upon appointment and Council approval on Monday evening; it would be my
intention to call a meeting of the committee during the week of 14 January 2008
to review the work done so far and determine whether further work must be
done to make a recommendation to the City Council on an auditor for 2007
through 2012. If this occurs, a recommendation for auditor will be presented to
the City Council at the 28 January 2008 meeting so that a decision may be
rendered and audit procedures may be commenced.
Financial Impact:
The appointment of the committee and their review of the proposals will have no
immediate financial impact on the City. It is hoped that the RFP process will
minimize the costs, currently about 40,000 per year, for an audit and Auditor's
Opinion on the Comprehensive Annual Financial Statement.

COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Vickie Schleuning, Assistant to the City Manager
Gary Eitel, Community Development Director
DATE: January 14, 2008
SUBJECT: Feasibility of Establishing a Fanners Market in Brooklyn Center
Recommendation:
Staff is seeking direction from the Brooklyn Center City Council whether to pursue establishing
a Farmers Market in the City of Brooklyn Center.
Background:
Staff has been requested to research the feasibility of establishing a Farmers Market in the City
of Brooklyn Center. As part of the research, other cities and agencies were contacted for
information. In the past few years, the number of Farmers Markets has grown considerably to
more than 80 in Minnesota. Many of the startups are located in the Twin Cities suburbs. Two
news articles from July 2007 are included that discuss the proliferation of farmers markets in the
metropolitan area, the associated impact to existing markets, and the challenges to new markets.
The scope of Farmers Markets varies based on the purpose of the market. For instance, some
farmers markets are limited in that they have a small number of vendors, offer a limited selection
of products and are not typically associated with supplementary entertainment venues or
community functions. Other Farmers Markets are expanded operations, highly organized and
managed. These markets offer a larger number of products (horticultural products, arts, crafts
and other services) and incorporate entertainment venues or community functions.
A summary of the issues including benefits and challenges, models, operations and anticipated
costs is provided below.
Overview of Benefits and Challennes for a Farmers Market Located in Brooklyn Center
A brief summary of some of the benefits and challenges of establishing and sustaining a
Farmers Market in Brooklyn Center is provided below. Specific benefits and challenges
would vary depending on the type of Fanners Market selected.
Benefits
Provide an additional avenue to host community events. According to cities with
existing farmers markets, the most significant advantage is the ability to coordinate
or integrate city special events such as concerts and educational events.
Promote healthy eating by enabling easy access to farm and organic products.
Promote Minnesota economy by supporting Minnesota growers and producers, who
sell their products directly to the public. Vendors who sell food products from the
farm or garden they occupy are exempt from food establishment licensing.
Page 1 of 11
Challenges
Competition from existing farmers market. The biggest competitor for a Brooklyn
Center location is the Minneapolis Farmers Market.
Finding vendors. Farmers Markets have expanded, while the number of vendors
has remained the same or decreased.
Finding an acceptable location, with good visibility and adequate traffic. An
apparent long -term site could not be identified that would meet the criteria to be a
good location. More thorough investigation for a suitable site would be required,
and would likely entail conferring with an outside operator.
Finding a day and time that does not adversely conflict with other nearby Farmers
Markets or events, yet attracts customers. If the purpose is to complement city
functions, the time would have to coordinate with city recreational or entertainment
activities.
Initial setup and establishing long -term customer base and sustainability. With the
existing competition, the amount of effort required to establish and maintain a
Farmers Market would be high.
Additional city resources required for oversight of operations.
Models of Farmers Markets
There are two basic models of farmers markets, which for purpose of this report, will be referred
to as limited market and expanded market.
Limited Market
A limited market is typically smaller in size and focuses on horticultural products such as
fruits, vegetables, flowers, meats, and cheeses. Limited markets include the Columbia
Heights Farmers Market and Andover Farmers Market.
Expanded Market
An expanded market offers arts, crafts and other services in addition to horticultural products.
Expanded markets include Minneapolis Farmers Market and Maple Grove Farmers
Market
Options for Manaaine the Operations
There are two options that the city could consider in managing the operation of a farmers market
city operated and privately operated.
City Operated
Several cities manage the operation of the farmers market including Brooklyn Park,
Champlin, Maple Grove, and Shoreview. With this option, the city coordinates the vendors,
licensing and site. This option allows greater control of the operation and outcomes. It
would also require a higher amount of resources to manage the markets (setup, monitoring,
marketing, etc.), even though some direct costs would be recovered from fees. Cost recovery
would depend on the success of the market.
Page 2 of 11
Private Sector
The Anoka County Growers Association and St. Paul Farmers Market operate satellite
farmers markets in other cities such as Anoka, Columbia Heights, Blaine and Andover. In
recent years, outside firms have been requesting subsidy from the city to help cover startup
costs including marketing expenses. For example, St. Paul Farmer's Market requests a city
subsidize the farmers market for the first two years. They would be responsible for insurance
wad operation of the market.
Additional city resources could be required to address potential issues such as police services,
operational oversight, etc. If educational and entertainment venues were incorporated,
additional city resources would be required to implement these programs.
Primary Issues /Alternatives to Consider:
Does the Council want a Farmers Market in Brooklyn Center?
Is there sufficient customer base to support a Farmers Market?
Should the Farmers Market operations be limited or expanded in scope? What is the
purpose?
Is there a suitable long -term location available for a Farmers Market? (Needs further
investigation)
Does the Council wish to allocate the financial and staffing resources to ensure a successful
Farmers Market operation?
Should staff proceed with further research into the options and details of establishing a
Farmers Market in Brooklyn Center?
Budget Issues:
If a Farmers Market is city- operated, some of the direct costs of a Farmers Market could be offset by
license revenues if the Farmers Market is successful. However, the increase in the number of
Farmers Markets has resulted in an increased need for marketing. A temporary seasonal employee
would be required to assist with the management of the farmers market. However, it is anticipated
that special events, beyond existing community or recreational events, would require an additional
funding source.
If a Farmers Market is managed by the private sector, it is likely the city will be required to subsidize
the Market until it can become self sufficient. For example, the St. Paul Farmers Market requests
$2,000 subsidy for the first two years the market is being established.

TOO MANY MARKETS or TOO FEW FARMERS? Bloomington is the latest to add a
farmers market, and like many new metro area sites, it's struggling to find just the right balance
of vendors to draw loyal customers.
Has the Twin Cities finally reached the saturation point for farmers markets?
The problem isn't that there aren't customers. Bloomington, the latest city to jump on the
market bandwagon, drew so many shoppers on its first Saturday earlier this month that many
vendors sold out by 8:30 a.m., just 90 minutes after the market opened.
The issue is with vendors. Drawn by that first day's success, almost twice as many sellers
about 20 came the second Saturday. But after the morning rush, it was the flower vendors, the
jam guy and the bread seller who were doing gangbuster business. Many farmers who were
selling potatoes and zucchini and cucumbers had a lot of produce left at the end of the morning.
"Last week was a good week; we sold out," said Chao Her of Brooklyn Park, whose table was
full of potatoes and cucumbers late in the morning. "Today, it's different."
With about 45 farmers market sites operating each week in the Twin Cities area, there are
many places to buy peppers, lettuce and tomatoes. But for new, unproven markets, it's difficult to
draw specialty vendors who sell things such as meat and cheese that help lure shoppers back
week after week. While Bloomington had people selling candy, jams, coffee, flowers,
smoothies and bread on its second market day, it didn't have anyone selling meat or dairy, or
even sweet corn a crop that tends to come from larger growers who often skip new markets
until they're proven successes. "We have the names of several meat people, but we haven't had
a lot of luck getting them," said Jim Urie, manager of Bloomington's Center for the Arts who is
supervising development of the market, which has space for 23 vendors. "Some of them don't
have refrigerator trucks, and the ones that do have a full schedule."
Hard to get dealers
Among the meat dealers Bloomington contacted were Jill and Jeff Marckel, who own Chase
Brook Natural. They raise cattle, hogs, chickens and lambs in Milaca and Princeton and keep a
dizzying schedule selling meat at 15 markets each week. Using two freezer trucks, they
sometimes hit three markets a day. Jill Marckel said that, this year, at least five more markets
came calling. "I had to say no," she said. "Between the two of us, we do darn well. But we're
pretty close to capacity." When Bob Leis of Bob's Bluebird Orchard in Webster was invited to
join the Bloomington market, he came the first weekend to check it out and was impressed to see
goods "flying off the shelf." He was happy he came out to sell the next week. An hour before
the market closed, he'd sold all of his 250 doughnuts and had just 11 of 120 jars of jam left. "I
had a lot of people today say they were glad I was here," Leis said. He said he'll be back.
Sisters Chia and Youa Xiong had a near -empty table, too. Though they sold a few vegetables
something their family has done for 16 years at local markets their niche is bouquets. By 10:30
a.m., they'd sold 150 bunches of lilies and other flowers. They called their dad, who delivered 50
more. Forty -five minutes later, those were gone too. "This is one of our better markets," Chia
said. Though they have other lives Chia is in college, and Youa is married and has a full -time
hospital job they like selling at markets so much that they help their father out on weekends.
Chia tries to catch customers' eyes by making lily bouquets distinctive, and emphasizes their
freshness. "They'll take our bouquets home and see how they last, and they'll come back," she
said.
Finding the right balance
Setting up a market is an art and a science, said Jack Gerten, manager of the St. Paul Farmers
Market. Shoppers want variety and an ample supply of goods as well as a fun atmosphere, but
they don't want a circus. Markets have to find a balance for vendors, too, who need to sell
enough to want to come back. That can be a challenge if you want what's sold to be Minnesota-
grown, as the St. Paul and Bloomington markets do. "There's only so much grown in
Minnesota," Gerten said. "You're probably better off keeping the market small and having a
larger volume of choice." Eventually, he said, an aging cadre of growers may force a drop in
the number of markets. But for now, he said, "I think there's room for quite a few markets."
Bloomington is still adjusting the mix in its market. Urie said he would like music every
Saturday. And he hopes to attract a berry vendor. Toting a bulging bag of produce, shopper
Myrt Kime cast a practiced eye on the booths and pronounced it pretty good for a new market.
She lives in Bloomington and had come straight from the Richfield Farmers Market to check out
the competition in her hometown. "The prices in Richfield were the same, but I think the
quality is better there. At least it looks better." But she added, "I would come back here."
IF YOU GO
The Bloomington Farmers Market runs from 7 a.m. to noon on Saturdays through Oct. 6. It's
held at the Bloomington Civic Plaza, 1800 W. Old Shakopee Road.

Market grows in suburb's rich soil. The St. Paul Farmers Market has stayed vibrant by
sprouting outposts in more than a dozen Twin Cities suburbs. This summer, it made it to Savage.
Sunday mornings in downtown Savage look nothing like they did a year ago. A vacant lot off
Hwy. 13 used to clash with new brick housing and retail space the city has built in the past
decade to restart the heart of Savage's historic but downtrodden downtown. Then the city paved
the parking lot, the town reclaimed its old train depot from Murphy's Landing in Shakopee and a
coffee shop opened inside. And, as of last month, nearly three dozen growers from the St. Paul
Farmers Market show up early every Sunday to unpack crates of corn and squash, strawberries
and flowers. The market one of 17 satellite locations run by the St. Paul Growers' Association
has prompted nearby businesses to extend weekend hours and attracted hordes of shoppers.
"It's given Savage the exposure it's always needed," said resident Joyce Bohn, who found a table
in the bustling Dan Patch Coffee Depot after picking up a cabbage and potatoes at the market on
a recent Sunday.
Savage is just the latest in a string of Twin Cities suburbs that have wooed the St. Paul Farmers
Market, which first ventured into the suburbs more than 20 years ago with a satellite in
Burnsville. "Every year, we get four to five calls from suburbs wanting to know if we're
interested" in opening a new location, said market manager Jack Gerten. Many cities, like
Savage, ask because they're looking to revitalize their downtowns, while for others, "It's just to
add more community spirit, a gathering place for people to visit," Gerten said. But, he added,
"Very rarely do we open a market just because a city calls us." Before committing to a location,
Gerten considers factors such as how much competition the market would have, whether it
would have space to grow and how well it would serve its growers. Farmers who sell at the
markets belong to the St. Paul Growers Association, which usually has 140 to 160 members. In
some cases, as when the market opened a satellite in Andover, the association seeks locations
close to growers who might otherwise have to drive 30 miles to sell produce. That probably
explains why Scott and Dakota counties where 50 or 60 percent of the market's growers have
farms became a hotbed for the St. Paul Farmers Market, which has half a dozen locations there.
Unlike the Minneapolis Farmers Market, which is open seven days a week, the St. Paul
Farmers Market runs only on weekends at its downtown flagship. The satellite model is designed
so that member farmers can sell at as few or as many markets as they want, nearly every day of
the week, Gerten said. Growers sign up a year in advance for booths throughout the metro area
and can choose to sell for only a few weeks if, for example, they only grow apples. Other
growers, such as Sang Yang's family, show up at a dozen markets every week. The Hmong
family, which has grown vegetables on a 15 -acre farm in Hudson for over a decade, shares the
labor of getting the produce to market. For Yang, who graduated from Minnesota State
University, Mankato this spring, that means a summer job of picking vegetables until dark, then
getting up at 5 a.m. to drive to the day's market. Yang said he likes small markets such as
Savage's because the bigger ones "have a lot of vendors, so there's a lot of competition."
Page 9 of 11
Big or small, the markets gladden the hearts of community organizers such as Ed Delmoro,
who spearheaded the effort to bring a second St. Paul Farmers Market to Burnsville in 1998, just
as plans for the city's walkable downtown were picking up steam. "We had a vision for the Heart
of the City, but nothing had happened, and we were trying to think of ways to bring awareness to
that part of the city," Delmoro said. The market, which later moved into the parking lot of a
largely vacant mall that later became Burnsville High School Senior Campus, did just that. "It
brought a great melting pot where people of all nationalities and all walks of life gathered to buy
produce."
