REVIEW 2009-2023 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN

Public Works Director/City Engineer Steve Lillehaug outlined the Capital Improvement Plan for
2009-2023 and noted the project areas for 2009. He discussed projects that had been added since
2008 which included the automated meter reading, sanitary sewer projects, and some capital

flows for the following: Capital Improvements, Municipal State Aid, Infrastructure
Construction, Street Reconstruction, Earle Brown Heritage Center, Technology Capital, Internal
Service, Special Revenue Grants and TIF, and Liquor. There was discussion regarding bonds
and the process used, gas t�es, franchise fees, and the cost savings in product costs for the
liquor store.
City Manager Boganey informed that he would like to propose a new division that would help
achieve six out of the nine City Council Goals more proactively. The Community Development
Department would become two departments: Department of Business and Neighborhood
Development and Department of Buildings and Neighborhood Standards.
11/17/08 -1- DR.AFT
The Department of Business and Neighborho.od Development would consist of Planning,
Community Marketing, Business Retention, Business Attraction, Housing Improvement Program
Administration, and Property Assessment. There would be no additional staff or funding
required for this department.
The Department of Buildings and Neighborhood Standards would consist of Neighhorhood
Standards Education and Enforcement and Building Inspections. This department would require
three additional staff and an upgrade to the current Assistant ta the City 1Vlanager's position. The
Acting City Manager/Neighborhood Services Director would be Vickie Schleuning and the three
additional positions would be a Neighborhood Services Manager, Housing Specialist, and one
support staff. There also would be two intern positions that would be cross trained to work with
the Building Inspections Manager and the Neighborhood Services Manager.
It is anticipated that this would only be funding sufficient to fund the new positions for nine
months in 2009. The new positions would be funded by Community Development Block Grant
Funds and revenues generated by the Vacant Property Registration Revenue, Administrative
Fines Revenue, and Reinspection Fees.
The Council and Financial Commission Members discussed the funding for this proposal and the
long term of the new positions. It was noted that looking into the future, the possibility of not
needing one of the three new positions and a possible reconfiguration would be considered. The
majority of the Council was in consensus of this proposal and results from this current proposed
reconfi uration would be rovided to the CounciL

11a. RESOLUTION NO. 2008-126 ENTERING INTO A JOINT POWERS
AGREEMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE ALLIANCE
FOR YOUTH
Mr. Boganey introduced the item, discussed the history, provided an overview of the Joint
Powers Agreement (JPA) to participate in the Brooklyn Bridge Alliance for Youth, and answered
questions of the City CounciL
I There was discussion on possible costs incurred by the City in the future association with the
JPA. Mr. Boganey clarified that to date there has been no discussion among the possible JPA
members about any financial contributions that would be required by members. However, there
is staff time involved to operate and run this type of program. The JPA will likely apply for
grants to various agencies and foundations to fund those costs. The JPA collaboration will likely
improve the chances of the organization receiving outside funding. He pointed out that it would
not be fair to assume that there will never be a request to each of the members to contribute;
however, that will not be known until they proceed further with the collaboration and begin
looking at various costs. He stressed that the proposed JPA does not commit any of the parties to
any financial contributions.

NO. 2008-126 Entering into a Joint Powers Agreement to Participate in the Brooklyn Bridge

The Brooklyn Center City Council/Economic Development Authority (EDA) met in Work
Session called to order by Mayor/President Tim Willson at 8:13 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Mayor/President Tim Willson and Councilmembers/Commissioners Kay Lasman, Mary
O'Connor, Dan Ryan, and Mark Yelich. Also present were City Manager Curt Boganey, Public

Police Commander Kevin Benner, Assistant to the City Manager Vickie Schleuning, City
Att�rney Charlie LeFevere, and Caxol Hamer, TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc.
DRUG FREE HOUSING LEASE ADDENDUM COUNCILMEMBER YELICH
Councilmember Yelich stated he has requested that the Crime-Free/Drug-Free Housing Lease
Addendum be required for all rental license applicants in the City as part of their lease
agreement. He has heard in the past that this has worked effectively for multi-housing units and
it has been demonstrated around the country to be successful in reducing problematic behavior in
rental units. He stated this provides a tool for rentaT property managers to manage in a more
effective manner that is acceptable for the City of Brooklyn Center. He requested that the
Council direct staff to prepare an ordinance amendment to add the Addenduxn to the City's
existing rental licensing program.
It was questioned whether the Crime-Free/Drug-Free Housing Addendum would be restrictive
on single family homes where there may not be a lot of resources. Mr. LeFevere explained if
there are provisions that do not particularly fit a single family home the Addendum could be
adapted for that purpose. The idea is to ensure that the lease terms include provisions that allow
landlords to get rid of problem tenants, which may be more important in the single family
context than in multi-family units. He explained the Addendum gives the landlord the ability to
evict, but it is not enforceable by the City.
Commander Benner and Mr. LeFevere answered questions of the Council on the Crime-
Free/Drug Free Housing Addendum. There was discussion on the following in relation to the
Addendum:
The Addendum is currently provided as an informational piece to landlords
Item 2 of the Addendum, specifically in relation to difficulty of enforcement "near"
single family homes
11 /24/08 -1- DRAFT
Providing the Addendum as a voluntary option for landlords
Ordinance amendment requiring the Addendum as part of the rental licensing program
The majority consensus of the City Council was to direct staff to draft an ordinance amendment
to include the Crime-Free/Drug-Free Housing Addendum as part of the rental licensing program
to be presented at a future work session with additional background information including the
implications on staff resources and the experience of other cities that mandate or provide
incentives for landlords to incorporate the Addendum
SIDEWALK VACATION HALIFAX AVENUE COUNCILMEMBER YELICH
Councilmember Yelich stated this item is a follow up to a previous meeting where a resident,
Mr. Caxlson, pointed out an ongoing problem with gang graffiti on his fence along a public
sidewalk between residential properties. Mr. Carlson and the neighbor that adjoins that sidewalk
have brought forward a suggestion about closing that sidewalk off as a possible solution for
eliminating ongoing graffiti problems. There axe four properties adjoining this sidewalk; three of
them have solid wood fences which get tagged by gang graffiti on a regular basis.
Councilmember Yelich stated he volunteered to bring this forward for Council consideration and
has asked staff to provide the Council with some additional background information about the
potential solution.
Mr. Lillehaug provided an overview of the November 21, 2008, memorandum on the proposed
sidewalk vacation of the midblock sidewalk between Halifax and Grimes Avenues between 69�`
Avenue North and 71 St Avenue North. He outlined information and answered questions of the
Council on the history, utilities, walkway characteristics, vacation of walkway and easement, and
budget issues associated with the requested sidewalk vacation. Mr. Lillehaug suggested
consideration of installation of a wrought iron fence with hedges and closely spaced shrubs
which wpuld not be tagged with graffiti and would provide screening for the residents. He
ex lained t icall if these items were to be installed it would be at the expense of the private
P YP Y
property owner.
Mr. Joel Cederholm, 7007 Grimes Avenue North, addressed the Council and stated when he
purchased his house six to seven yeaxs ago the City had given over a large section of that land,
and the ro ert line is at the fence. He su ested the Ci consider utting up a fence similar to
P P Y gg tY P
the fence running the length of 69 Avenue. Mr. Lillehaug stated as far as he is aware the 30 foot
easement in this area is valid. It was noted that the fenc� on 69�' Avenue was likely part of the
agreement with the reconstruction of the road.
Mr. Chris Caxlson, 7000 Halifax Avenue North, addressed the Council and questioned why it
would be a problem to move the fence, as the manhole access is already on his property. He
stated he does not have a problem with the easement but would like the property owners to have
the ability to put a fence or fences along the property line to cut off the traffic from Grimes
Avenue to Halifax Avenue. He stated due to the changing demographics of the neighborhood he
does not believe there are children living on Grimes Avenue who attend St. Alphonsus School.
Visible access to the sidewalk only comes when you are standing at one end or the other; if you
move three feet in either direction you cannot see to the middle of the block, let alone the other
11 /24/08 -2- DRAFT
end. He stated blocking off the area with private residential fencing is the best answer to their
particular problem in this area and the access to the sewer and the drain would still be available
as it is right now.
It was noted that the City would have the right to remove fencing impeding access in the
easement. Mr. Lillehaug explained that an encroachment agreement would be an option if it were
to be determined to allow fencing to be constructed in the easement. He stated he recommends
that the Council not feel the utility issue is the dictating issue; he would recommend that the
issue to consider is the idea of whether the sidewalk is a valuable part of the infrastructure for
connectivity.
There was discussion on an encroachment agreement and a mailing to determine if the sidewalk
is being used by property owners in the a.rea.
It was suggested that cameras may be beneficial in identifying individuals involved with
vandalism in the area. Mr. Boganey stated there is not any clear evidence that the Police
Department has not been responsive to calls to this area. He believes the Police Department has
had some contact with the residents and a meeting is being planned to meet with the property
owners to discuss some possible things the Police Department can do to come to a better
resolution. If the installation of cameras is something the Police Department suggests as a viable
alternative it can be explored.
The majority consensus of the City Council was that a formal request for vacation be submitted
i by the four�roperty owners along the midblock sidewalk between Halifax and Grimes Avenues
between 69 Avenue North and 71 Avenue North in order to proceed with further consideration
by the City.
It was stressed that the property owners need to be aware of the costs that will be incurred if the
sidewalk is vacated and potential problems, such as the removal of the fence for access to the
utilities.
Mr. Boganey suggested that Mr. Lillehaug work with the property owners to draft an appropriate
petition that identifies possible future obligations of the property owners.
EMPLOYEE USE OF COMMUNITY CENTER CITY MANAGER
Mr. Boganey introduced the item and stated the Council is being asked to consider the request of
the City Wellness Committee to offer use of the Community Center to employees at no charge as
a way of encouraging fitness and improved health which should contribute greater productivity
and reduced health care expense. Mr. Boganey provided background information on the benefits
for employers and employees in relation to employee fitness programs and answered questions
of the Council on the proposed employee fitness program.
The majority consensus of the City council was to direct staff to include adoption of the
proposed employee use of the Community Center on a future agenda for Council consideration.
11/24/08 -3- DR.AFT
COMMUNITY SURVEY CITY MANAGER
ed the item and rovided back round information on the draft Community
Mr. Boganey intr�duc p g
Survey prepared by Decision Resources. He requested discussion and feedback from the Council
on the proposed survey.
Mr. Eitel answered questions of the Council on the draft Community Survey and the process
used by Decision Resources. It was noted that Decision l�esources has indicated a 95% accuracy
rate with surveys relating to bond issues.
It was noted that it is important that there is not any bias included in the survey questions. Mr.
Boganey requested that Council Members email him with any specific questions or concerns
about specific questions, which will be forwarded to Decision Resources. He stated the
preference would be to have the results from the survey prior to the Annual City Council Retreat
scheduled in February. He stated he would be reluctant to suggest that the City decide what the
questions would be or how to word them. However, if there is a concern on a question he will
share that with the consultants.
The majority consensus of the City Council was to authorize staff to proceed with the
community survey with Decision Resources. Council Members are to email questions or
concerns on specific questions to Mr. Boganey. The questions/concerns will be forwarded to
Decision Resources for their consideration.
VACANT BUILDING FEES
Ms. Schleuning provided background information and provided an overview of fee comparisons
for various cities for re-occupancy type services and the following proposed resolutions:
Re-inspection Fees and City-Facilitated Abatement Charges
Vacant Building Registration Fees
Ms. Schleuning answered questions of the Council on the proposed resolutions and fee schedule.
The majority consensus of the City Council was to direct staff to include the proposed
resolutions to amend various fees related to building inspections and the new vacant property
ordinance on the next regular City Council Meeting agenda for Council consideration.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 2008-008
Applicant: Osseo ISD No, �79
Location: 7020 Perry Avenue North (Willow Lane School)
Request: Special Use Permit Amendment
The applicant, Dale Carlstrom, Director of Facilities and Transportation Operations, on behalf of
the Osseo Independent School District No. 279, is seeking a Special Use Permit for parking lot
screening to convert a bituminous area primarily used for outdoor basketball to a parking facility
at the Willow Lane Elementary School site, 7020 Perry Avenue North.
This application was reviewed by the Planning Commission and a public hearing conducted on
October 30, 2008 at which time the matter was laid over to give the School District time to
consider a modified plan that would shift the entrance to the parking lot to the south as was
suggested during the meeting. (See Planning Commission Information Sheet dated October 30,
2008 �nd the Planning Commission minutes from that date for additional informat�or�, attached.)
It was suggested during the public hearing portion of the meeting that the School District
consider shifting the entrance to the 70` intersection area. The public hearing was closed
at that meeting and the school district was requested to review such a possible relocation.
The city staff including myself, the Community Development Director, the Community
Activities, Recreation and Services Director (CARS) Jim Glasoe and Engineering Tech Bruce
Johnson met with Mr. Carlstrom to discuss possible modifications that would shift the entrance
as was suggested. Such a location would have necessitated relocating a trail, a crosswalk and
possibly a ball field to accommodate the plan. It would have also required approval by the City
Council following review and recommendation from the Park and Recreation Commission to
grant access over city park property to the parking lot and the modifications suggested. This did
not seem like a desirable proposal given the changes that would need to be made and recent land
shifts between the City and the School District. It was suggested as an alternative that the new
entrance to the parking lot be shifted about 30 ft. or so to the south so that it would be directly
across the street from the property line separating 7001 and 7007 Perry Avenue North avoiding
direct headlight glare from the site to the home at 7007 Perry. The home at 7001 Perry faces 7p
Avenue North and the plan was not considered a major disruption to these two properties. No
additional hard surfaced area other than that needed to accommodate the shifting of the driveway
would be needed. Twent six rather than 28 s aces would be rovided iven the proposal.
Y P P g
Berming and landscaping would be extended to the south to screen the parking lot and an
additional Colorado Blue Spruce Tree plus 12 more Blue Chip 7unipers would be added at the
nd arkin lot would be com letel
f he erm for screenin u oses. The drivewa a Y

review necessary through the Park and Recreation Commission.
The Planning Commission also requested review regarding whether the Adult Education
Program to be conducted at Willow Lane School is consistent with allowable uses of the
property. The Commission is aware that K-12 uses are not allowed in Commercial zoning
districts, however, the converse of this is not necessarily the case. Programs operated by the
School Dis.trict �vithin their facilities such as c�mmuni�� educatzon programs and_oth�r�r��rams_
have been acknowledged over the years as allowable uses within the parameters of the uses
acknowledged in the zoning ordinance. It would be the same for the Adult Education uses
proposed at Willow Lane School. Approval of the Special Use Permit Amendment, in this case,
should acknowledge the expanded use of the school for this purpose.
Mr. Carlstrom has established a neighborhood informational meeting for 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday
evening at the Willow Lane School to review the proposed modifications and seek neighborhood
comment. We will be prepared to review that meeting at the Commission's Thursday evening
meeting.
Informational notices have been sent to those receiving notice of the Planning Commission's
October 30, 2008 public hearing. As mentioned previously, the public hearing was closed at that
meeting, but could be reopened if the Commission chooses.
RECOMI��NDATION
We believe the modifications are acceptable alternatives and the screening plans acceptable as
appropriate screening for a parking lot across the street from residential property. We, therefore,
recommend approval of the application subject to the following conditions:
L The Special Use Permit Amendment acknowledges appropriate parking lot
screening consistent with Section 35-711 of the city's zoning ordinance.
2. The S ecial Use Permit Amendment acknowled es adult education uses as
P g
appropriate uses within the zoning classification of the city's zoning ordinance.
3. Grading, drainage, curbing and parking lot plans are subject to review and
approval by the City Engineer priar to issuance of permits for the project.
4. Building permits for the proposed parking lot improvements are subject to the
approval of the Building Official prior to the issuance of building pernuts.
5. The applicant shall provide appropriate erosion and sediment control devices on
the site durin ved the Cit En ineerin De artment.

6. All work performed and materials used for construction of parking lot, sidewalk
and curb and gutter improvements, shall conform to the City of Brooklyn Center's
current Standard Specifications and Details.

Planning Commission Information R Sheet
Application No. 2008-008
APplicant: Osseo�S� �I�.-��9 e
Location: 7020 Perry Avenue North (Willow Lane School)
Request: Special Use Permit Amendment
The applicant, Dale Carlstrom, Director of Facilities and Transportation Operations, on behalf of
the Osseo Independent School DistrictNo. 279, is seeking a Special Use Permit Amendment for
parking lot screening to convert a bituminous area primarily used for outdoor basketball to a
parking facility at the Willow Lane Elementary School site, 7020 Perry Avenue North.
The property in question is zoned R-1 (One Family Residence) and is bounded on the north by R-
1 zoned property containing single family homes; on the east by C-1 (Service/Office) zoned
property containing the school district's recently constructed Adult Basic Education facility; on
the east and south by R-1 zoned property containing the city's Willow Lane Park; and on the
west by Ferry Avenue with single farr�ly homes on tl� opposite side of that street. Elementar�
and secondary schools as well as daycare facilities are special uses in the R-1 Zoning district.
Willow Lane Elementary School has not been used as a traditional elementary school for a
number of years. Early Childhood Education and other types of school programs have been
operated by the school district in this facility over the years. The school district and city operate
under an agreement whereby school facilities and Willow Lane Park are shared. Land was
swapped between the school district and the city when the Adult Basic Education Facility at 7051
Brooklyn Boulevard was developed a few years aga
BACKGROUND
The school district plans to convert the bituminous basketball/play area on the south side of the
school building to a parking facility to accommodate some of the expanded'educational programs
to be conducted at Willow Lane Elementary. This will involve replacing the blacktop with a full
depth bituminous surface and appropriate base for a parking surface which will be surrounded by
B-612 concrete curb and gutter. The facility will provide parking for 28 vehicles with access to
the parking lot from a new, approximate 24 ft. wide, driveway off Perry Avenue at the
southwesterly corner of the parking lot.
The Engineering Department has reviewed the plans and finds the proposal to meet parking lot
standards, curb and gutter requirements as well as drainage requirements for such a facility.
Because there will be no appreciable increase in hard surface area, no Watershed Management
Commission approval or ponding areas are required.

LANDSCAPE SCREENING
Section 35-711 of the zoning ordinance requires all open off street parking areas having more
than six parking spaces which abut along a street which is residentially zoned on the opposite
side of that street to be screened from street view by a screening device as approved by the City
Council. Typically this has involved the use of landscape screening that will provide screening
up to a height of two to three feet primarily to avoid light glare from the automobiles utilizing the
facility.- T�e-district plan involves the -r�moval of a concrete sidewalk leadang-fro�n__th� �ity
sidewalk to the building and also removal of some trees in this location. They plan to build a
three foot high berm along a large portion of the parking lot that will contain 18 Blue Chip
Juniper planted atop the berm. Three Colorado Blue Spruce that will be seven feet high at the
time of planting will be located in the area where the berm drops. They also plan to plant four,
two 1 /z inch diameter Northfire Maple trees to replace the Ash trees that will need to be removed
to accommodate the proposed improvements. Two of these will be at the south corner of the
parking lot and two in the green area between the parking lot and the city sidewalk. The plan
seems to provide appropriate screening comparable to other screening plans throughout the city.
LIGHTING
The plan also includes three freestanding parking lot security lights, two to be located on the east
side and one on the south side of the parking lot. The light poles will be 25 ft. high and shall be
presvided with lenses, reflectors or sfiades to eoncentrate light on the site to be consistent wit�
Section 35-712 of the city zoning ordinance. That section of the ordinance limits light intensity
to no greater than three foot candles at the property line in residential areas and also prohibits
light glare. The photometric plan shows foot candles from the light poles to be no greater than .5
foot candles at the property line and the fixtures will direct light down on the site and avoid off
site glare.
SPECIAL USE PERNIIT STANDARDS
A public hearing is scheduled for this Special Use Permit Amendment and notices to surrounding
property owners have been sent in accordance with the requirements of the city's zoning
ordinance. Attached for the Commission's review is a co of Section 35-220 containing the

As mentioned, a public hearing has been scheduled and notices of the Planning Cornmission's
consideration have been sent to surrounding property owners.
RECONIlVIENDATI��T _�R__._
Approval of this Special Use Permit Amendment is recommended subject to at least the
following conditions or considerations:
l. The Special Use Permit Amendment acknowledges appropriate parking lot

APPLICATION NO. 2008-008 OSSEO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 279
Chair Rahn introduced Application No. 2008-008, a request for Special Use Permit Amendment
for parking lot screening. Mr. Warren presented the staff report describing the location of the
property and the proposal. (See Planning Commission Information Sheet dated 10-30-08 for
Application No. 2008-008, attached.)
Mr. Warren explained that the Osseo Independent School District No. 279 is seeking a Special
Use Permit Amendment for parking lot screening to convert a bituminous area primarily used for
outdoor basketball to a parking facility at the Willow Lane Elementary School site, 7020 Perry
Avenue North. He noted that the Willow Lane Elementary School has not been used as a
traditional elementary school for a number of years.
Early Childhood Education and other types of school programs have been operated by the
school district in this facility over the years. The school district and city operate under an
agr-eement whereby school facilities and Willow Lane Park are shared. Land was swapped
between the school district and the city when the Adult Basic Education Facility at 7051
i Brooklyn Boulevard was developed a few years ago.

u uestions re ardin clarification on what was
The Commissioners asked Mr. Warren vano s q g g
being reviewed by the Planning Commission under Application No. 2008-008. Mr. Warren
explained that parking lot screening approval is what is before the Planning Commission far
review and possible recommendation to the City Council. This process involves review of the
parking lot screening proposed under the Special Use Permit Amendment, however, other
aspec�s �f the plan ar� areas th� Commission may �omment on as well.
PUBLIC HEARING APPLICATION NO. 2008-008
There was a motion by Commissioner Kuykendall, seconded by Commissioner Parks, to open
the public hearing on Application No. 2008-008, at 7:36 p.m. The motion passed unanimously.
Chair Rahn called for comments from the public.
The applicant Mr. Dale Carlstrom, representing Osseo Independent School District No. 279,
introduced himself to the Commission.
Commissioner Roche asked what the need is for this parking lot on the school district site. Mr.
Carlstrom explained that the use of Willow Lane School has changed over the years and is
primarily early childhood and enrollment building. He also pointed out that they h�.ve_
relocated some of the programs located within the Adult Basic Education building. Some people
use both buildings and are dropping off children at one building and crossing through the parking
lot to the other building. He added the change in the parking lot is related to security reasons and
to keep pedestrians safe when crossing from one building to another. He explained that the
School District felt this was a good opportunity to make security improvements to the site by
adding additional lighting to the parking lots since they have had some vandalism on the site.
Chair Rahn noted that some of the parking lot improvements had already been started and asked
the applicant why work had been started without a permit.
Mr. Carlstrom explained that since this was a smaller project, the architect was not as involved as
with larger projects and the role of city approvals and permit applications was with the school
district and he admits they made a mistake in not getting the permits.
Commissioner Parks made recommendations to the applicant regarding possible alterations and
changes to the site regarding drainage, curbing and landscaping. He also stated that he feels that
adding the berm is a good idea to provide screening from the residential area across the street.
Terry McDevitt, 7007 Perry Avenue North, stated that she feels the location of the new proposed
driveway at the school is directly across the street from her driveway and she feels that will be a
problem. She also stated that the existing parking lot for the Adult Basic Education building on
Brooklyn Boulevard is not used to its full extent and questions why this parking lot is being
added. She also feels that the school district should have contacted the neighbors with their
proposaL
Page 2
10-30-08
Marie Egnell, 7013 Perry Avenue North, stated that she lives across from where the proposed
berm will be and her concern is with the location of the proposed driveway at the school. She
says there is little street parking used by the school and the proposed location of the parking lot is
unsafe since it is at the edge of the playground. She also feels that the school district should have
contacted the neighbors in the area with their plan.
Joann �ierman, 7001 Perr_y. A,uen�._North, feelsthis proposal is �nw�rra�ated _with tl�e, amount of
parking space available at the north end of the property. She also stated that she thinks the work
was started early on purpose.
Commissioner Roche addressed the applicant and stated that he is disappointed that this work
was started without a permit. He stated that he feels there are some potential safety issues with
the layout on the site. He asked the applicant why the adults are separated from the early
childhood center and is the parking lot open to the public?
Mr. Carlstrom stated that the parking lot is open to the public and also explained the different
programs offered at the two buildings. He added that they have a huge responsibility of knowing
who is coming in to the buildings and providing safety and security. He added that by laying it
out in the manner prop�osed, they believe safety issues can be met.
Mr. Warren explained that the current layout of parking on the Adult Basic Education site was
designed based on the square footage of that building. He added that there is a second portion of
the building that is yet to be constructed and will be occupied by CEAP. The city wanted to
make sure that the two parking lots for the Willow Lane School and the Adult Education facility
were separated to avoid unwanted traffic through the residential neighborhood. He also stated
that the city encourages on-site parking rather than on street parking. Mr. Warren also explained
that the city prefers to have driveways lined up across from each other and 28 additional parking
spaces isn't really going to have a significant affect on traffic in the area.
Commissioner Kuykendall stated that she has a concern with the amount of traffic using this
additional driveway but doesn't see a better location for the driveway on the site. Commissioner
Kuykendall asked Mr. Warren for further clarification on specifically what the Planning
Commission is approving.
Mr. Warren stated that the Planning Commission is approving the screening proposed on the
plan and allowed under the Special Use Standards, not the addition of the parking lot. He
pointed out that without the addition of parking on site, there would be on street parking by
people using the Willow Lane School facilities.
Ms. Egnell stated again that she feels it is not a good thing to add a parking lot on the south end
of the property. She also stated that the original parking lot for the Willow Lane School was
expanded about five years ago. Ms. Egnell feels that the district has done poor planning.
Mr. Carlstrom explained that CEAP was not going to utilize the third floor of the Adult
Education Building but were still planning to complete their portion of the building. He added
that the decision was made to move the enrollment center to the building on Brooklyn
Page 3
10-30-08
Boulevard, out of the Willow Lane School, to allow better access to those that rely on public
transportation. This created the need to move each of the services provided to different floors
and has allowed the school district to use the buildings to the best of their abilities. Mr.
Carlstrom further explained that they have taken some of the Adult Education related to the
Early Childhood program and put it into the Willow Lane School.
Stevi Biedi�.ger. Circle, Brookl� �ar.k,_��ked t�.applicant how the s�,ho�,l
district monitors who uses the parking lot and do they charge for parking? Mr. Carlstrom stated
that anyone can use the parking lot and they do not charge to park.
Commissioner Kuykendall discussed if moving the adult education programs to the Willow Lane
School violates the special use permit standards. Mr. Warren responded that it is possible that
the special use pernut standards would need to be reviewed to determine if they are being met
with this aspect of the use of the facility.
Commissioner Kuykendall asked staff to review the special use pernut standards related to the
changes proposed in the two school district buildings.
Ms. McDevitt stated that the special use standards state that a proposed use should not reduce
property values and she feels that the glare from cars across the stre�t will reduce her pr�perty_
value. Mr. Warren explained a case from many years ago where a study was done on the
diminishing of property values based on a proposed group home use in a residential area. The
study concluded that that did not lower the property values. He doubted the traffic would rise to
the Ievel of directly causing the devaluing of property values. He also stated that the current
economy situation would have a more negative effect on property values than the proposed use
by the school district.
Chair Pro Tem Roche asked the applicant when they propose to start construction. Mr.
Carlstrom stated that would depend on the weather.
Andrew Andruski, 440 Carkoski Commons, Mankato, asked if it is possible to reroute the
entrance to the parking lot to the south closer to 70`�' Avenue to create better flow on the site and
to showcase some of the park features since the parking lot is also used for the park.
There was further discussion by the Commission and the applicant regarding possible relocation
of the driveway and the addition of a fence around the play area located next to the new parking
lot.
It was the general consensus of the Planning Commission to table the application so that plans
can be amended and resubmitted to the Planning Commission.
No other persons from the public appeared before the Commission during the public hearing on
Application No. 2008-008.

DISCUSSION ITEMS
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 35 OF THE CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES
REGRDING THE SALE OF MOTOR VEHICLES
Mr. Warren explained an ordinance amendment being considered by the City Council regarding
the sale of motor vehicles. Mr. Warren pointed out that the city attorney had noted that the
provision that required a structure for a motor vehicle dealer be equal to twice the value of the
land was not a defensible position and it was suggested that that provision be deleted from the
ordinance and replaced with a minimum land area and a maximum building size. Mr. Warren
stated that the City Council is considering an amendment to Chapter 23 (Licensmg) as well as
Chapter 35 (Zoning). Traditionally the Planning Commission reviews and comments on zoning
ordinance amendments.
There was discussion by the Planning Commission and they stated no objections to the proposed
ordinance amendment.

CFiAIlt' S EXPLANATION
Chair Rahn explained the Planning Commission's role as an advisory body. One of the
Commission's functions is to hold public hearings. In the matters concerned in these hearings,
the Commission makes recommendations to the City Council. The City Council makes all final
decisions in these matters.
APPLICATION NO. 2008-008 OSSEO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 279
Chair Rahn introduced Application No. 2008-008, a request for Special Use Permit Amendment
for parking lot screening. Mr. Warren presented the staff report describing the location of the
property and the proposal. This application was reviewed by the Planning Commission and a
public hearing conducted on October 30, 20Q8 at which time the matter was laid over to give the
School District time to consider a modified plan that would shift the entrance to the parking lot
to the south as was suggested during the meeting. (See Planning Commission Information
Sheets dated 10-30-08 and 11-20-08 for Application No. 2008-008, attached.)
It was suggested during the public hearing portion of the October 30, 2008 meeting that the
School District consider shifting the entrance to the 70` intersection area. The public
hearing was closed at that meeting and the school district was requested to review such a
possible relocation.
Mr. Warren explained that informational notices have been sent to those receiving notice of the
Planning Commission's October 30, 2008 public hearing. He added that the Planning
Commission may choose to reopen the public hearing on this matter.

PUBLIC HEARING APPLICATION NO. 2008-008
There was a motion by Commissioner Kuykendall, seconded by Commissioner Leino, to open
the public hearing on Application No. 2008-008, at 7:21p.m. The motion passed unanimously.
Chair Rahn called for comments from the public.
Mr. Carlstrc�m c�me before the Commission for questions._ Commissioner Roche asked,what�
kind of irrigation system would be installed around the new parking lot area. Mr. Carlstrom
responded that an irrigation system would be installed around the berm and around the perimeter
of the building to maintain landscaping on the site.
Commissioner Parks asked Mr. Carlstrom how the informational meeting went with the
neighbors. Mr. Carlstrom responded that the neighbors wou�d rather not see the parking lot but
felt that the meeting had been favorable and the neighbors were willing to accept the revisions to
the layout.
Commissioner Leino asked what the district's plan is for maintaining the property. Mr.
Carlstrom explained that the school district has a five year repaving plan for its buildings and this
building was scheduled for repaving which is what precipitated this plan to better utilize the site.
Chair Rahn stated to the applicant that he appreciates the effort the school district made in
meeting with the neighbors regarding changes to the proposed plan.
Mr. Ken Herman, 7001 Perry Avenue North, stated that the way the plan is set up, there will be
lights going into his two bedrooms. He added that he cannot figure out why this is being
proposed for a parking lot since most of the parking lot at the school is often empty. Mr.
Herman stated again that he does not see why the parking lot has to be there.
Commissioner Roche further asked how many adults would be using the facilities. Ms. Julie
Pierce, representing the Osseo School District, responded that there are about 40 adults using the
facility and many of them drive together, walk or use the bus while utilizing programs during the
daytime. She added that o�e of the major reasons for relocati�g this parking lot has to do with
safety and security of the students and noted that the program would be conducted between the
hours of 9:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Commissioner Roche stated that if the north parking lot was
used, then there would be no issue with car lights in the parking lot. She stated there are no plans
to operate the program in the evening.
Commissioner Young asked why the basketball court had been removed. Mr. Carlstrom stated it
was related to lack of use and maintenance issues.
Terry McDevitt, 7007 Perry Avenue North, asked about the existing parking lot for the adult
education programs and stated that she feels that there is no reason that people cannot park in the
existing lot and walk around the building to the other entrance since the parking lot is never full.
Page 2
11-20-08
Ms. Julie Pierce stated again that the school district is concerned with safety and liability of the
students and wants to assure separation between the Adult programs and Early Childhood
program and that is the reason for the proposed parking lot.
Commissioner Roche stated that he feels the school district is asphalt happy with the Willow
Lane site and feels there is no need to add additional parking to the site. He added, however, that
_�j�st because the Planning_Commissic��migh�not agr�e_with_the proposal, d(��s not by_itself
constitute a reason to recommend denial of the request.
No other persons from the public appeared before the Commission during the public hearing on
Application No. 2008-008.
CommissiQner Roche asked if a condition of approval could be added requiring irrigation on the
site to maintain the landscaping on the site. Mr. Warren explained that underground inrigation is
not an ordinance requirement in residential zoning districts as it is in Commercial and Industrial
Districts. For this reason he would not recommend such a condition. He noted that the School
District representative indicated that they would provide this and that it will be part of the record.
There is no reason to believe that they will not provide irrigation. Chair Rahn stated that he feels
that the Planning Commission should not impose a condition of approval that cannot be enforced
�nd should not do so in this case�
Mr. Herman asked if the entrance to the parking lot could be brought down to 70` Avenue
North. Mr. Warren explained that the staff report indicated that doing so would require
relocating a trail and crosswalks, possibly shifting of the ball fields and other significant changes
on the site. Such changes would probably lead to additional parking spaces being added and the
site would have additional hard surface area and would have to be reviewed by the Shingle Creek
Watershed Management Commission. Also, separate Park and Recreation Commission and City
Council review and approval of the changes and a cross access agreement would be necessary
adding additional review time to the project.
Mr. Herman stated that he doesn't feel that this parking lot should go in at all. Mr. Warren
pointed out that if the parking lot is not added to the south, people utilizing the south end of the
building will probably park on the street instead for convenience.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Following further discussion, there was a motion by Commissioner Kuykendall, seconded by
Commissioner Parks, to close the public hearing on Application No. 2008-008, at 7:41p.m. The
motion passed unanimously.
The Chair called for further discussion or questions from the Commissioners. The
Commissioners interposed no objections to approval of the Application.

RE: 2009 Budget Adoption All Funds
Tax Capacity General and Debt Service Fund Levies
HRA Market Value Levy for property taxes payable in 2009
On September 8 2009 the City Council adopted the 2009 preliminary budget and maximum tax
levies. The proposed levy is at the same level adopted at the September 10�' 2009 meeting and
developed in joint work sessions with the City Council and Financial Commission. There are
three funds that require a tax levy; the General Fund, the Debt Service Fund and the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority Fund. The proposed final levy is as follows:
Tax Levy:
General Fund Operations 6,593,550
Police Fire Special 5,085,466
Foreclosures Special Levy 125,000
Housing and Redevelopment Authority 385,289
Police and Fire Bonds 703,903
Total Levy 12,893,208
The proposed budgets reflect the revenues and expenditures developed in joint work sessions
with the Financial Commission during the months of June, July, August, October and November.
The expenditure levels are focused on maintaining services and on the achievement of the
seventeen strategic goals adopted by the City Council on April 28 2009, with particular focus
on achieving the highest priority goals.
LEVY CHANGES
The proposed total levy is $12,893,208 and if approved will represent a 3.6?% increase.
The General Fund levy, composed of a general operating levy, Police and Fire special levy and
Foreclosure special levy is proposed to increase 5.08% while the Debt Service levy will decrease
3.06%. The HR.A levy is set at the new statutory limit of .0185 °ro of the estimated taxable market

value and if estimates hold true may increase 27.50% over the 20091evy. The actual HRA levy
amount will be determined by final valuations set by Hennepin County.
GENERAL FUND REVENUES:
Total estimated revenue for 2009 is $16,613,686 compared to 2008 budgeted revenue of
$15,518,836. With the proposed levy increase and lodgin� tax collections of $720,000 total t�
collections in the general fund are expected to increase from $11,898,679 to 12,524,016.
Licenses and Permits are estimated at $731,295 compared to $723,845 in 2008. The license
revenue decline is principally due to the fact that revenues in this area were over estimated for
the 2008 budget. The increase in permit fees are based on the recently adopted fee rate increases
and a conservative forecast of new fees anticipated from the recently adopted vacant property
ordnance. While change in rental license fees is expected in 2009 it is difficult to forecast a
revenue increase prior to adoption of the final fee schedule.
Intergovernmental Revenue increases to $2,022,332 compared to $1,652,008 in 2008. Most of
this increase, $370,249 occurs in the use of Local Government Aid. While this increase in
support from the State is helpful and has reduced the pressure on increasing property taxes, it is
potentially problematic. The expected State budget deficit of up to $6 billion dollaxs during the
next two year budget cycle could result in LGA reductions in 2010 or sooner. This is an issue
that we must monitor very closely and make the budget adjustments as required.
Charges for Services remain relatively flat in this preliminary budget. They axe estimated to
increase slightly from $670,791 to $694,104. This increase is based on a small increase in
demand for some recreational programs and inflationary fee adjustments.
As policy requires, revenues are budgeted using conservative assumptions so we have not
include any revenue increases that might be expected from the implementation of a planned
administrative fines program which should be implemented in 2009 following recent voter
approval of the City Charter amendment allowing this program.
GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES
The 2008 budget was intended to begin addressing some of the growing needs discussed in
previous years and as articulated by the City Council in its Annual Goals for the City. To
achieve two of the critical Council strategic goals of a assuring and safe and secure community
and improved code enforcement, we added, one patrol officer in the patrol division of the
General Fund, one additional code enforcement officer in the Community Development
Department, two patrol officers in the COPS Grant Special Revenue Fund, one additional patrol
officer in the Auto Theft Grant Fund. When we made the decision to fund some of these
positions using temporary grant funds we acknowledged the fact that to continue our efforts
2
these positions would have to be absorbed into the general fund in future years. In 2009 we will
begin by absorbing 1.5 of the three grant funded police positions into the general fund.
If 2008 was the year to begin addressing several of the high priority strategic goals of the City
Council, 2009 is the year where we plan to build on the momentum of these early efforts; for this
reason, I view the 2009 budget goal as maintaining the momentum and moving initiatives to the
next level. We hope to accomplish this task by directing resources toward the a�hievement of the
High Priority Goals of the City Council. The proposed General Expenditures for 2009 is
$16,613,686.
Continuing the Momentum in 2009
Even though the City budget is constrained by levy limits, a declining tax base and poor
economy, the principal goal of the proposed budget is to continue the momentum and improve
on the efforts commenced in 2008. As difficult as it has been to stay on this course, I believe that
we have been successful in our effort to continue forward toward the achievement of the
Councils high priority goals. While most of the strategic efforts are identifiable with General
Fund activities the HRA/EDA and even the CDBG Fund are critical to moving the Council
agenda forward in 2009. Below, I have described how the vaxious City Funds and resources will
be allocated to achieve the highest goals of the City CounciL
1. Ensure a safe and secure community
a. The proposed budget continues funding for the Community Services Unit that
includes Community Response Officers, crime analysis, crime prevention and youth
intervention. This is a unit consisting of both sworn and unsworn personnel carrying
out proactive problem solving initiatives. The unit consists of one Lieutenant who
manages the five sworn Community Response �fficers, an Analyst, and a Crime
Prevention Specialist. The 2009 budget includes funding to work collaboratively with
a non-profit agency to assist with youth intervention specialist duties. We believe this
proactive, fact based, focused and coordinated efforts of a unit that is not spending
nearly all of its time responding to calls for service has produced and will continue to
produce results that will lead to crime reduction. Year to date in 2008 we have
substantially improved our incidents cleared by arrest and violent crimes have
declined.
b. This budget will continue implementation of the recommendations from this PERF
violent crimes study completed in 2007. Many of the recommendations have been
incorporated in the City Department work plans as a way to further affect a reduction
in violent crimes especially those committed by young adults and adolescents.
3
c. Of course it is equally important that the City continue to provide funding that will
provide patrol, emergency response, investigation and administration, while the new
unit focuses on problem areas and prevention activities. The 2009 budget meets this
objective as we1L
2. Aggressive implementation of redevelopment plans
a. The 2009 budget includes one very significant modification. The Community
Development Department will be realigned. The EDA/HRA staff and the assessing
division will become a separate department, the Department of Business and
Development focused on business attraction, business retention, community
marketing and redevelopment assistance programs. It is expected that this narrowing
of scope and added focus will improve our ability to achieve the redevelopment
mission in a very difficult economic environment.
b. Funding for redevelopment is generally funded in the EDA and Tax Increment Funds.
I believe it is fair to say that 2009 is expected to be a challenging yet significant
period for redevelopment. The Embassy Suites will be complete. The GSA FBI field
office headc��arters will be under construction The marketing of the 57�" and Logan
project is likely to proceed. The marketing of the I-694/Hwy 100 property should be
underway. We anticipate developing plans for the redevelopment of the Brookdale
Ford Site and we expect that the Brookdale Mall will be marketed to a new owner
that will hopeful come forth with improvement plans for this important commercial
property.
c. We anticipate continuing the Bass Lake Road Streetscape /Trail Enhancement project
in 2009 to significantly improve the Bass Lake Corridor making it an attractive,
pedestrian friendly environment supportive of commercial redevelopment.
Hopefully, progress can be made toward planning for implementation of elements of
the Shingle Creek day lighting project in 2009 as welL
3. Positively address changing demographics and increasing cultural diversity
a. The Recreation Department has received grant funding that in part will be used to
complete a community survey in 2009 that will help identify the recreational needs of
our diverse communities. This information will be used to tailor some of our
resources toward addressing those needs.
b. The Police Department will continue to participate in the Joint Community/Policing
Program with Hennepin County and Brooklyn Paxk with the goal of building bridges
across cultural boundaries. In 2008 the staff will be implementing activities to use
4
the resources and lessons of this effort to expand the program beyond Police
De artment activities.
P
c. The Human Resources Department and Staff will continue to review our recruitment,
selection and employee development programs to assure that we are providing
optimal opportunities for employment with the City by all segments of the
community.
4. Maintain and upgrade the City Infrastructure
a. The City will continue the previously established street reconstruction program in
200 The rin 1 i f o ram is the franchise fee. The Ci has
9 p cipa C ty fundmg or this pr g ty
prioritized and scheduled this program using a condition based formula in order to
use the limited resources available in the most cost effective manner. In addition the
City has a capital replacement plan for storm water, sanitary sewer and water system
improvements. In addition the City has a park improvement plan and an improvement
funding program for the Earle Brown Heritage Center. Each of these programs is
detailed in the Capital Improvement Program which has been reviewed during the
budget development process and will be presented for Council approvaL
b. In 2007 the City completed a comprehensive study of the structural components of
General Buildings i.e. City Hall, Community Activities Center, Fire Stations and
Police Buildings. With information collected from this report, the staff developed an
infrastructure improvement plan for these critical facilities. The recommendations
from this study have been incorporated into the proposed capital projects budget. The
identified funding source for these improvements in 2009 is an equity transfer and an
increase in the liquor fund contribution from $125,000 to 135,000 to fund the first
two years of the program. This work will commence in 2009. It is assumed that this
program can be funded in this manner for the first three years. After this period other
sources of funding will be necessary.
5. Improve Enforcement of City Codes
a. As stated above the 2009 budget anticipat�s a change in the structure of the
Community Development Department. The CD Department will be eliminated and
replaced with two new Departments, the Department of Business and Development
and the Department Buildings and Standards. Department of Buildings and Standards
will be headed by the upgraded position of Assistant City Manager. The Department
will include the Buildings Inspections Division and the Neighborhood Standards
Division. It will be headed by a new supervisor, and include one additional Code
Enforcement/Housing Specialist position one additional support staff and two interns.
This new division will provide for expanded public education, the effective
5
monitoring of vacantlforeclosed properties, management of the administrative fines
process, expanded code enforcement, abatement activities and enhanced rental
property enforcement. The budget increase in cost of approximately 260,000 will be
funded by the Foreclosure Special Levy, The use of Community Development Block
Grant Funds and some increase in fee revenue.
6. Antrcipate and respond to foreclosure issues
a. In addition to the improvement in the way foreclosed and vacant properties are
monitored and managed by the new Department of Buildings and Standaxds, the
Business and Development Department will be developing and implementing a
variety of incentive programs to attract new property owners to acquire and
rehabilitate vacant foreclosed properties in 2009. We will also continue to provide
public education to citizens about ways to prevent foreclosure.
7. Increase communications and collaborations with citizens and other government
agencies and churches
a. In 2008 we initiated neighborhood meetings around the City hosted by the Police
Department, we expect to continue these meetings in 2009. In 2009 we will embark
on a new collaboration with the school districts, County, Community Colleges and
the City of Brooklyn Park. The new collaboration will be focused on improving
apportunities for youth development in a cost effective synergistic manner. In 2009
we expect to enter into collaborative arrangement with the Three Rivers Park System
to expand our trail improvement efforts. We anticipate that we will continue to
collaborate with Hennepin County on the Shingle Creek day lighting project. We
anticipate continuation of the several ongoing joint efforts such as Northwest
Hennepin Human Services, Five Cities Transportation, Project Peace and others.
8. Improve the quality and diversity of the �ity Housing Stock
a. Staff has completed review of our rental housing program. With the creation of the
new Building and Neighborhood Standards Division, we anticipate implementing
changes that will improve maintenance of the rental housing stock. In addition, the
new vacant housing ordinance requires an inspection and improvements before re-
occupancy. As stated earlier staff will be implementing housing 'improvement
programs using TIF and other funding sources as a way of promoting housing
improvements in 2009. One of the focus areas for the new Business and Development
Department includes finding ways of diversifying the housing stock.

ownership

S 2009 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
PROFILE
'The 2009 Capital Improvement Program (CIP)_ is a planning document that presents a fifteen-year overview of
scheduled capital projects to address the City's goals for maintaining public infrastructure. The CIP includes a
long-term financing plan that allows the City to allocate funds for these projects based on assigned priorities.
The fifteen-year horizon of the CIP provides the City with an opportunity to evaluate project priorities
annually and to adjust the timing, scope and cost of projects as new information becomes available. The
information contained in this plan represents an estimate of improvement costs based on present knowledge
and expected conditions. Changes in community priorities, infrastructure condition and inflation rates require
that adjustments be made on a routine basis.
A capital improvement is defined as a major non-recurring expenditure related to the City's physical facilities
and grounds. The 2009-2023 CIP makes a concerted effort to distinguish between major maintenance projects
contained in the City's operating budgets and capital improvement projects financed through the City's capital
funds and proprieta.ry funds. Typical expenditures include the cost to construct roads, utilities, parks, or
municipal structures.
The CIP is predicated on the goals and policies esta.blished by the City Council, including the general
development, redevelopment, and maintenance policies that are part of the City's Comprehensive Plan. A
primary objective of the CIP is to identify projects that further these goals and policies in a manner consistent
with funding opportunities and in coordination with other improvement projects.
CIP Project Types
The Capita.l Improvement Program proposes capital expenditures totaling $93 million over the next 15 years
for basic improvements to the City's streets, parks, public utilities, and municipal buildings. A brief
description of the four functional areas is provided below.
Public Utilities
The City operates five utility systems, four of which have projects included in the CIP —water, sanita.ry sewer,
storm drainage, and street lighting. A vast majority of the public utility improvements are constructed in
conjunction with street reconstruction projects. The remaining portion of public utilities projects include
improvements to water supply wells, water towers, lift stations and force mains.
Street Improvements
Street improvements include reconstruction of neighborhood streets and reconstruction of arterial and collector
streets. Proposed improvements include the insta.11ation or reconstruction of curb and gutter along public
roadways. As noted earlier, street improvements are often accompanied by replacement of public utilities.

EXIiI6IT A
Parklmprovements
Park improvements include the construction of trails, shelters, playground equipment, athletic field lighting
and other facilities that enhance general park appearance and increase park usage by providing recreational
facilities that meet community needs.
Capital Building Maintenance Improvements
Capital building maintenance improvements include short and long term building and facility improvements
identified in the 18-yeaz Capital Building Maintenance Program approved in 2007.
CIP Funding Sources
Capital expenditures by funding source for the fifteen-year period are shown in Table 1 and the accompanying
chart. Major funding sources are described below.
Public Utility Funds
Customers are billed for services provided by the City's water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and street lighting
public utilities. Fees chaxged to customers are based on operating requirements and capital needs to ensure
that equipment and facilities are replaced to maintain basic utility services. Annually the City Council
evaluates the needs of each public utility system and establishes rates for each system to meet those needs.
Capital Improvements Fund
This fund is comprised of transfers from the General Fund, repayment of deht from the Golf Course operating
fund, and transfers from liquor operations. Typically the City t;ouncil has directed these funds towards
municipal facilities such as parks, trails, public buildings and other general purpose needs.
Special Assessment Collections
Properties benefiting from street improvements are assessed a portion of the project costs in accordance with
the City's Special Assessment Policy. Every year the City Council establishes special assessment rates for
projects occurring the following year. Rates are typically adjusted annually to maintain the relative proportion
of special assessments to other funding sources.
Street Reconstruction Fund
The Street Reconstruction Fund provides for the cost of local street improvements along roadways that are not
designated as municipal state aid routes. A majority of the revenue for this fund is generated from general
fund transfers and franchise fees charged for the use of public right-of-way by natural gas and electric utility
companies. The City's ability to provide adequate revenue for the Street Reconstruction Fund is currently one
of the main limiting factors in determining the rate at which future street and utility improvements can be
accornplished.
Municipal State Aid (MSA) Fund
State-shared gas taxes provide funding for street improvements and related costs for those roadways identified
as MSA streets. The City has 21 miles of roadway identified as MSA streets and is therefore eligible to
receive fundin based on this desi ation. The annual amount available is approximately $780,000 and
g
provides for maintenance and construction activities within the City's MSA street system.
Funds to be Determined
A dedicated funding source for portions of the Capital Building Maintenance Improvements is yet to be
determined. The Liquor Store Enterprise fund is anticipated to be used in 2009

EXHIBIT A
Aldrich Neighborhood Improvements
The Aldrich Nei hborhood ro'ect area extends from Du ont
L
Avenue to Interstate 94 and from 59�' Avenue to 57�' Avenue. z
The project area contains a total of 8,010 linear feet of local
streets. The neighborhood consists of approximately 103
residential properties.
A
Streets
The majority of the streets in the project azea were originally
constructed in 1968 through 1969. Existing streets are
generally 30 feet wide with no curb and gutter. The street
pavement is deteriorated throughout most of the neighborhood g
due to the age of the pavement and inadequate drainage.
Proposed street improvements consist of the reconstruction of the street subgrade, installation of curb and
gutter to improve drainage and full depth replacement of bituminous street pavement.
Water main
The existing water main in the Aldrich Neighborhood area consists of 6-inch, 8-inch and 10-inch diameter
cast iron pipe throughout the project area and 24-inch diameter steel water main along 59� Avenue. A
majority of the existing cast iron waterman was installed between 1964 and 1968 and is believed to have
an internal lining. New segments of 8-inch diameter water main and sanitary sewer were installed on the
southern part of Camden Avenue as part of the 1996-06 project. A condition survey must be conducted
far the existing water system in the neighborhood to determine the extent of corrosion. Water records
indicate one rnain break has occurred within the neighborhood. The water main is in fair condition based
on current maintenance records. The current project cost estimate includes replacement of watermain
along Aldrich, Bryant and Camden Avenues due to isolated areas of corrosion or as necessary to allow for
the replacement of sanitary sewer and trunk storm sewer within the neighborhood.
5anitary Sewer
The existin sani sewer consists of 8-inch diameter vitrified clay pipe lateral sewers along local
b �'Y
streets and a 12-inch diameter reinforced concrete trunk sewer along the Xcel easement between 57`�
I Avenue and 58�` Avenue. These sewers were originally installed between 1959 and 1962.
Approximately 75 percent of the sanitary sewer is subjected to problems with root intrusion. Root sawing
must be performed on an annual basis to maintain the system conveyance capacity. The condition of the
sanitary sewer system within the neighborhood is rated as fair to poor. The current project cost estimate
includes replacement of approximately 50 percent of the 8-inch diameter sanitary sewer. The sanitary
sewer located along Camden Avenue must be lowered to facilitate the installation of a new trunk storm
sewer between 57�' and 59�' Avenues.
Storm Sewer
A substantial portion of the southeastern section of the city drains through two trunk storm sewers located
along 59�' Avenue and along the west side of Interstate 94. These trunk storm sewers, installed in 1952,
are under-sized and do not provide suff'icient capacity to convey storm water runoff through the
neighborhood and under Interstate 94. The installation of new trunk storm sewers along Camden Avenue,
59�' Avenue and under I-94 is necessary to prevent local flooding. The current project cost estimate
includes the replacement of storm sewer throughout the project area, boring a new trunk storm line under
Interstate 94 and installation of two precast water quality treatrnent devises. A deta.iled description of the
proposed storm drainage improvements are further described in a feasibility report titled "59`� Avenue
Trunk Storm Sewer Improvements" prepared by Bonestroo Associates in 2006.

The Shingle Creek Parkway and 69` Avenue project area extends from Brooklyn Blvd to Shingle Creek
Pkwy along 69�' Avenue and from 69�' Avenue to the Shingle Creek Bridge along Shingle Creek Pkwy.
The project area contains a total of 5,692 linear feet of local streets.
Streets
This segment of roadway is designated as a Municipal State Aid Route. 69`�' Avenue was reconstructed in
I 1993. Shingle Creek Pkwy was most recently reconstrueted in 1995. Existing streets are generally 7-0 to
85 feet wide with concrete curb and gutter and raised concrete medians. The street pavement exhibits a
moderate rate of deterioration due to higher volumes of traffic. The current cost estimate assumes street
improvements that consist of approximately 25 percent curb replacement, 10 percent sidewalk
replacement, 25 ercent concrete apron replacement, a 2-inch mill and overlay of the bituminous
t�
pavement on 69 Avenue between Brooklyn Blvd and Drew Avenue and full depth pavement
replacement on the remainder of the project.
Water main
The existing water main in the Shingle Creek Pkwy and 69'�' Avenue project area consists of 10-inch, 16-
inch and 18-inch diameter cast iron pipe (CIP) installed between 1956 and 1969. A second 16-inch
diameter ductile iron pipe water main was installed on 69�' Avenue in 1993 when the road was
reconsh The water main is in good condition based on current maintenance records. The current
project cost estimate includes no water main replacement.
Sanitary Sewer
The existing sanitary sewer along 69�' Avenue consists of 8-inch and 18-inch diameter poly vinyl chloride
(PVC) pipe installed in 1993. The existing sanitary sewer on Shingle Creek Pkwy consists of 10-inch
diameter vitrified clay pipe installed in 1969. The condition of the sanitary sewer system within the
neighborhood is rated as good. The current project cost estimate includes no sanitary sewer replacement.
Storm Sewer
The storm sewer on 69`� Avenue consists of 12-inch to 27-inch diameter reinforced conerete pipe that
drains to Palmer Lake. This storm sewer was installed in 1956 and 1993. The storm sewer on Shingle
Creek Pkwy consists of 12-inch to 48-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe that drains to Shingle Creek.
This storm sewer was installed in 1969. The condition of the storm sewer within the neighborhood is
rated as good. The current project cost estimate includes replacing storm structure castings and isolated
portions of lateral storm sewer as necessary.

Humboldt Avenue South Improvements
The Humboldt Avenue South project area extends from 53 Avenue to 57�'
Avenue. The total project length is approximately 2,660 linear feet. The 5 R
neighborhood consists of approximately 56 residential properties.
i
Streets
This segment of roadwa}L- is a He��epin County Roadway.-- Humboldt
Avenue was originally constructed between 1966 and 1969. Existing streets
I are generally 36 feet wide with no curb and gutter. The street pavement is x
x x
deteriorated due to the age of the pavement and inadequate drainage. This
ro'ect is included in the Ci s CIP due to a otential cost sharui a eement
P J tY P rll g gt'
for the street and drainage improvements and funding for water main and
sanitary sewer improvements as described below.
Water main
The existing water main in the Humboldt Avenue South project area consists
of 6-inch diameter cast iron pipe (CIl') installed in 1966. A condition survey
must be conducted for the existing water system in the project area to �'TM
determine the extent of corrosion. The water main is in fair condition based
on current maintenance recards. The current project cost estimate assumes
that water_main will be replaced between 53` and 55�' Avenues to coincide_
with sanitary sewer replacement.
RTM AYE 7!
Sanitary Sewer
The existing sanitary sewer consists of 8-inch diameter vitrified clay �ipe lateral sewers. These sewers
were originally iristalled in 1952. Sanitary sewer between 53` and 55 Avenues is subjected to frequent
problems with root intrusion. Root sawing must be performed on an annual basis to maintain the system
includes re lacement of sani sewer between
conveyance capacity. The current project cost estimate p �'y
53 and 55�' Avenues.
Storm Sewer
The storm sewer on Humboldt Avenue consists of 18-inch diameter corrugated metal pipe that drains to a
trunk line along 55�` Avenue. This storm sewer was installed in 1952. The current project cost estimate
includes replacing 100 percent of the storm sewer. The cost estimate assumes that Brooklyn Center may
contribute to a portion of the storm drainage cost for the project.

EXHIBIT A
Dupont Avenue Neighborhood Improvements
The Dupont Avenue Neighborhood project area extends from 73` Avenue to 57�'
Avenue. The total project length is 10,007 feet. The neighborhood consists of
approximately 140 residential properties and the Brooklyn Center High School
properly and one city parcel.
,r Str�ets
The entire length of the project area is designated as a Minnesota State Aid Route.
The majority of the streets in the project area were originally constructed between
1963 and 1968. The existing street between 57�' Avenue and 67�' Avenue is 42 feet
wide with concrete curb and gutter.. The existing street between 67` Avenue and 73`
Avenue are 30 feet wide with no curb and gutter. The overall pavement condition �L
rating is fair to poor. Proposed street improvements consist of the reconstruction of
a
the street subgrade, installation of curb and gutter to improve drainage and placement
of bituminous street pavement between 59 Avenue and Lilac Drive N and between +�m
67`� Avenue and 73 Avenue. Proposed improvements for the remaining areas
include 20 percent curb replacement, 10 percent sidewalk replacement and
installation .on new street pavement.
Water main
The existing water main in the south portion of the project area is 6-inch diameter
cast iron pipe installed in 1968 and 1969. Dupont Avenue between Interstate 94 and
69�' Avenue contains a 30-inch steel water main installed in 1963. The water main
between 69�` Avenue and 73 Avenue consists of 6-inch and 12-inch cast iron pipe
installed in 1961 and 1962. A majority of the existing water main is believed to have
a cement based internal liner. The corrosion rate within the project area has not been
thoroughly documented at this time. However, there is a history of water main breaks along Dupont
Avenue between 69`� and 73rd. The current project estimate includes complete water main replacement
between 59'�' Avenue and Lilac Drive N and between 67�' Avenue and 73` Avenue. No water main
replacement is anticipated in the remaining areas.
Sanitary Sewer
The sanitary sewer in the project area consists of 8-inch diameter vitrified clay pipe (VCP) installed in
1960, 1961 and 1967. Approximately 25 percent of the sanitary sewer is subjected to frequent problems
with root intrusion. Root sawing must be performed on an annual basis to maintain the system
conveyance capacity. The condition of the sanitary sewer system within the neighborhood is rated as fair.
The current project cost estimate includes 100 percent sanitary.sewer replacement between 57�` Avenue
and Lilac Drive N and between 67�' Avenue and 73 Avenue.

Miscellaneous Water Main and Sanitary Sewer Improvements
Emergency Bypass for Lift Station No. 6
Lift Station No. 6, located at 3900 Lakebreeze Avenue, receives wastewater flow from a service area
of approximately 130 acres within the southwest portion of the city. Wastewater is then pumped into
a force main that conveys the flow north from the lift station under the Canadian Pacific Railroad
tracks to a Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MC$S) interceptor extending along 50�'
t�venue North
Prior to the Trunk Highway 100 improvements at the France Avenue interchange, the city had a
casing under the railroad tracks for the purposes of installing an emergency by-pass line from the lift
station to the MCES interceptor along SO Avenue. During the TH 100 project, this casing was
removed as part of the grade adjustments completed along the railroad tracks. Installation of a
temporary by-pass line from the lift station to the interceptor would be very difficult and time
consuming now that a casing under the railroad tracks is nat available. In the event of a force main
break, wastewater would be discharged into the MnDOT right-of-way and eventually into
downstream surface waters until an emergency bypass could be installed.
The proposed project consists of installing a new 10-inch diameter casing under the railroad tracks by
horizontal directional drilling methods. Access structures would also be placed at both the north end
and south end of the casing to allow access for installation of a temporary bypass hose.

Wetland 639W
The Twin and Ryan Lakes Nutrient TMDL Report and the 2003 Twin Lakes Management Plan
identify DNR Wetland 639W as a significant source of phosphorus to the Twin Lakes/Ryan Lake
system. These reports indicate that Wetland 639W contains high levels of phosphorous within the
sediments that have accumulated from the upstream watershed. Water quality sampling conducted in
2003 indicated that the average total phosphorous concentratio�s double between the inlet and ca�tle�
of the wetland. Wetland 639W contributes an estimated 730 pounds of total phosphorous per year
into Upper Twin Lake and nearly half of this is in readily available dissolved form. This load
represents one of the largest sources of the total phosphorus to Upper Twin Lake.
The purpose of this project is to substantially reduce the amount of phosphorous release from
Wetland 639W by modifying the hydraulic characteristics and/or implementing active treatment
methods. This large wetland complex is located adjacent to the Crystal Airport. Three alternatives
for achievin this have been ro osed in ast studies: 1. artial diversion of flow around the
g P P P
)P
wetland; 2.) dechannelization and increased storage within the wetland; and 3.) an alum ferric
chloride treatment system. The initial project development phase would include a feasibility study to
determine the most appropriate and cost effective option for achieving a reduction in phosphorous
loads release from the wetland.
This project would be implemented through a cooperative arrangement between the Shingle Creek
Watershed Management Commission and the Cities of Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Crystal and
New Hope. The estimated project cost included in the Capital Improvement Program consists of the
estimated portion of the total project cost for Brooklyn Center.
Storm Water Management Basins
In 2005, the City of Brooklyn Center hired the consulting firm of Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik

Pond 12-002 is located within the west central portion of the golf course and includes a concrete
headwall structure connecting Ponds 12-002, 12-003 and 12-004. The basin receives runoff from
approximately 400 acres within the southwest portion of the City, the same drainage area as 12-002.
Pond deficiencies noted during the inspection include shoreline erosion along the north and east sides
of the pond. The concrete headwall structure is filling with sediment with an average of one foot of
sediment in the trench and three feet of sediment near the weir outlet. Proposed improvements
cQt�ist Qf_repaiXing erosion areas, removal of sediment from the headwall trench and near the outlets
of the headwall structure.
Storm Water Pond 12-004
Pond 12-004 is located within the northern portion of the golf course. The basin receives runoff from
the Brookdale Shopping Center. The pond has lost approximately 20 percent of the wet volume due
to sediment accumulation over the first 8 years of operation. By the year 2016, the pond is expected
to loose approximately 45 percent of the wet volume due to sediment accumulation. Proposed work
consists of the removal of accumulated sediments to restore the water quality treatment function of
the storm water pond.
Storm Water Pond 12-005
Pond 12-005 receives runoff from the upstream ponds 12-002 and 12-004. The condition survey
revealed that an excessive volume of sediment has accumulated in the pond and has decreased the
wet storage volume necessary to provide water quality treatment. The proposed work consists of
removing the accumulated sediment.
Storm Water Pond 18-001
Pond 18-001 is located northwest of Northport Park. The pond receives runoff from approximately
120 acres of upstream drainage area. This basin has filled with an extensive amount of sediment
over the past 40 to 50 years. A majority of this basin is likely classified as jurisdictional wetland
under the Wetland Conservation Act. However, the basin has lost many of the wetland values due to
the accumulation of sediment. The proposed project consists of excavating sediment from the basin
to restore the flow capacity through the wetland and restore a wet pool volume with an average depth
of 2 to 3 feet in the central part of the wetland. Fringe areas would be restored with native wetland
species.
5torm Water Pond 46-001
Pond 46-001 is located within the northern portion of Orchard Lane Park. The pond receives runoff
from approximately 60 acres of residential development located west of Orchard Lane Park and
approximately 50 acres located north of Interstate 94/694. The pond is was originally design as a
water uali benefit. The ro osed
detention basin without wet volume to provide additional q ty p p
improvements consist of excavating wet storage volume below the invert of the outlet pipe to
increase the water quality treatment performance of the basin.
Storm Water Pond 50-001
Pond 50-001 is located within Cahlander Park. The pond receives runoff from approximately 230
acres of upstream residential development. Due to the large watershed to pond area ratio, this pond
is subject to higher rates of sediment accumulation and potential erosion issues. Traces of
hydrocarbon pollutants were noted in the sediment during the most recent site inspection. The
proposed project consists of dredging and properly disposing of sediment from the pond and repairs
to various shoreline erosion issues.

City of Brooklyn Center
City Council Agenda Item Memorandum
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Daniel Jordet, Director of Fiscal Support Services
DATE: 3 December 2008
SUB)ECT: Utili Rates for 2009
tY
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council consider the attached five resolutions
setting rates for consumption and use of utility services for the 2009 fiscal year.
Background:
During the 20 October 2008 working session of the City Council and Financial
Commission, stafF presented the expected costs for operation of the City's utility
services for 2009. Along with those costs were projections of the revenues
needed for the 2009 year and for future years to keep operations running
smoothly and fund the infrastructure improvements needed in the system.
For 2009, there is a realization at the staff and City Council levels that economic
times are difFicult and that the plans made in the past may need to be modified
to respond to citizen concerns. Such is the case with utility rates for 2009.
While higher rate increases were originally projected in order to maintain cash
reserves and fund infrastructure improvements, citizen expectation to pay those
rates may have to be postponed to later years when economic conditions are
better. Therefore the following base rate recommendations have been
presented for the City's various utility services:
Water: 3.00% increase, down from 6.25% in 2008
Sewer: 1.00% increase, down from 2.00% in 2008
Storm Sewer: 3.00% increase, down from 7.00% in 2008
Street Lights: 2.00% increase, down from 5.00% in 2008
Recycling: 3.00% increase, the same as in 2008
i
FinancialImpact:
If the rates are adopted as proposed the average resident can expect to pay
about 1.98 per quarter in additional utility costs. The breakdown for each of
the utilities is as follows:
r:r
2008 2009 *Quarterly
Increase Base Rate Base Rate Increase
Water 3.00% 1.25 per 1K gal. 1.29 per 1K gal. 0.60
Sewer 1.00% 62.61 flat rate 63.24 flat rate 0.63
Sanitary Sewer 3.00% 13J5 per lot 14.19 per lot 0.44
Street Lights 2.00% 3.65 per DU 3J3 per DU 0.08
Recycling 3.00% 7.57 per quarter 7.80 per quarter 0.23
for a residential customer using 15,000 gallons of water

Re: City of Brooklyn Center
Liquor License Application for Boulevard's Bar Grill
Dear Mr. Waulters:
I represent the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, as legal counsel. The City is in receipt of
the application for a renewal of the liquor license of Rich Ventures; Inc. transmi�ted to the City
by Sue Sullivan of Chestnut Cambronne, P.A. under cover letter dated November 3, 2008.
I should first note that the City has advised me that the check for the renewal liquor license was
returned because of insufficient funds in the account.
The application includes a statement from a certified public accountant that the percent of on-
premises food sales to total gross sales was 16% for the license year.
The City authorizes four classes of on-sale iiquor licenses to restaurants based on the percentage
of revenue derived from the serving of food for consumption on tne premises. No license is
available for establishments deriving less than 40% of its revenues from the sale of food for
consumption on the premises.
Because the certification included with the application shows that the percentage of food sales
was 16%, City staff will be recommending to the City Council that the license application be
denied on the ground that no licenses are available under City Code for establishments that do
not derive at least 40% of their revenues from serving of food for consumption on the premises.
This matter will be on the agenda of the regular meeting of the Brooklyn Center City Council on
December 8, 2008. The meeting begins at 7:00 p.m. The City Council meets in council
chambers at City Hall, 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway, Brooklyn Center, MN. You may address
the Council on this matter at that time if you wish.

Re: Brooklyn Center Liquor License Application for San Antonio Grill
Dear Mr. Bogotty:
I represent the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, as legal counsel. You have applied on
behalf of the San Antonio of Brooklyn Center, LLC for an on-sale intoxicating liquor license
from the City of Brooklyn Center for the San Antonio Grill in the City of Brooklyn Center.
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the city staff and police deparhnent of the City will
be recommending to the City Council that the license application be denied. Attached is a staff
report and a copy of the application information that will be provided to the City CounciL
The basis for proposed denial is that the applicants are not persons of good moral character and
repute as required by Minn. Stat. 340A.402 and City Code, Section 11-116; that the officers of
the applicant have been convicted of willful violations of state law or local ordinance governing
the sale of an alcoholic beverage within five years of the license application which authorizes the
City to refuse to issue a license under Minn. Stat. 340A.402 and City Code, Section 11-116;
and that the corporation does not have a manager who is eligible for a license, which makes the
corporation ineligible under City Code, Section 11-116.
The matter will be on the agenda of the regular meeting of the Brooklyn Center City Council on
December 8, 2008. The meeting begins at 7:00 p.m. The City Council meets in the council
chambers at city hall, 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway, Brooklyn Center, MN. You may address the
City Council on this matter at that time if you wish.

Chapter 340A. Section 340A.402 provides that no retail license may be issued to a

than traffic and the question whether the owner had ever been convicted of a felony
or willful violation of a federal or state law or local ordinance governing the sale of
alcohoL
8. On April 17, 2008, the owner of the Applicant, Raymond Bogotty, pled guilty to
allowing a minor to serve alcohol in his business. Additionally, Raymond Bogotty
has been convicted of two other misdemeanor crimes.
9. From the period February 2, 1996, to July 6, 2008, nine violations occurred at
facilities owned or controlled by the owner of the Applicant involving sale of

COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM
TO: Curt Boganey, Gity Manager
FROM: Kelli Wick, Human Resources Director
DATE: December 3, 2008
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION SETTING SALARIES FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2009
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the resolution setting salaries for calendar year
2009.
Background:
Section 2.07 of the City Charter requires that the City Council shall fix the salary of all
employees of the City. Generally speaking, the City employs three different sets of employees,
union, non-union and city manager.
Union employees encompass the vast majority of public works and police department
employees. Salaries and wages for these employees are established through the collective
bargaining process. We are currently negotiating with all of our union groups; LELS Loca186
(Sergeants and Commanders), LELS Local 82 (Police Officers) and NOE 49 (Public Works
Maintenance.)
The action before you relates to the wages and salaries of the eighty-five (85) non-union full time
employees working for the City. These at-will employees have no contract and rely upon the
actions of the City Council through policy to assure reasonable working conditions, salaries and
wages that are competitive in the market place.
The City has established a pay plan that conforms with the requirements of the 1984 Pay Equity
Act which applies to public employers. The steps and ranges of each position in the plan are
established to assure internal equity and market competitiveness. Using the nine cities identified
in Council Policy 2.05.3A as reasonable for wage comparison purposes our goal over the years
has been to maintain salary and wage rates that are comparable with similar jobs and positions
within these Cities while attracting and retaining the most capable employees.
Based on the feedback provided from the nine cities reporting (see Attachment) we expect that
the average salary increase in the comparison cities will be 3.1%
Budget_ Issues:
The proposed budget will support the proposed 3% pay plan adjustment provided by the
resolution.

P�
City of Brooklyn Center
City Council Agenda Item Memorandum
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Daniel Jordet, Director of Fiscal Support Services
DATE: 4 December 2008
SUB]ECT: Sale of 2,390,000 G.O. Improvement Bonds, Series 2008B
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution accepting
the bid for the competitive negotiated sale of 2,390,000 in general obligation
improvement bonds to complete the funding of the street reconstruction projects
constructed in 2007 and 2008.
Background:
During the 2007 and 2008 construction seasons the following neighborhood
street and utility construction projects were done. The list includes the
information on the amount assessed to adjacent property owners, the amounts
prepaid in full as of 31 August 2008, and the amounts still owing on the
assessments
Actual Amount Amount
Assessment Prepaid Outstanding
Freeway Boulevard 529,131.00 171,046.69 358,084.31
Riverwood Street 597,176.00 239,051.25 358,124.15
Riverwood Storm Water 177,407.00 75,499.32 101,907.68
Maranatha Street 777,006.00 29,700.00 747.306.00
Maranatha Storm Water 233,100.00 8,910.00 224,190.00
Xerxes Avenue/Northway 797,723.99 23,101.77 774,622.22
TOTALS 3,111,543.99 547,309.03 2,564,236.36
Additional payments were received in September: 224.302.00
Allowing reduction of the Amount Outstanding to: 2,339,932.36
The City has paid out 2,339,932.36 more in construction costs than it has
taken in with prepaid assessments. Use of fund balance and interfund borrowing
has allowed the Infrastructure Construction Fund to continue to function
throughout the construction period. Now, however, it is time to replenish the
Infrastructure Construction Fund for the 2009 and 2010 projects. Therefore staff
is proposing sale of 2,390.000.00 in General Obligation Improvement Bonds,
Series 2008B to achieve this purpose. The proceeds of the bond will be used as
follows:
Replenish Construction Fund 2,339,932.36
Cost of Issuance 29,000.00
(these in�l-ud�. Spring�ted services, Moody's
Investor's Service rating and Briggs and Morgan
legal services)
Underwriter's Discount (up to 0.8000% of bonds) 19,120.00
Rounding Amount 1,947.64
TOTAL ISSUE 2,390,000.00
This is a regular occurrence in the City's management of reconstruction project
funds. Bonds are currently issued on a bi-annual basis to save costs of issuance
and to collect additional assessment dollars in order to lower the amount of the
issue.
The proposed bonds will be repaid over a ten year amortization with the first
principal payment coming in 2010. While interest rates were projected to be in
the range of 4.50% to 4.60%, recent sales by other cities have obtained a lower
true interest cost when the final bids are tallied.
The attached resolution directs the City staff to proceed with the sale of the
bonds to the bidder with the lowest true interest cost. The bids will be received
and tallied on Monda 8 December 2008 with the results bein resented to the
i Y
9P
Ci Council that evenin Blanks a earin in the attached resolution will be

be maintained in the manner herein specified until all of the Bonds and the interest thereon have
been fully paid. There shall be maintained in the Fund two (2) separate accounts, to be
designated the "Construction Account" and "Debt Service Account", respectively.
(i) Construction Account. To the Construction Account there shall be credited the
proceeds of the sale of the Bonds, less accrued interest received thereon, and less any amount
paid for the Bonds in excess of $2,370,000, plus any special assessments levied with respect to
the Irnprovements and collected prior to completion of the Improvements and payment of the
costs thereof. From the Construction Account there shall be paid all costs and expenses of
making the Improvements listed in paragraph 16 (with respect to assessments), including the cost
of any construction contracts heretofore let and all other costs incurred and to be incurred of the
kind authorized in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.65; and the moneys in said account shall be
used for no other purpose except as otherwise provided by law; provided that the proceeds of the
Bonds may also be used to the extent necessary to pay interest on the Bonds due prior to the
anticipated date of commencement of the collection of special assessments herein levied or
covenanted to be levied; and provided further that if upon completion of the Improvements there
shall remain any unexpended balance in the Construction Account, the balance (other than any
special assessments) may be transferred by the Council to the fund of any other improvement
instituted pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, and provided further that any special
assessments credited to the Construction Account shall only be applied towards payment of the
costs of the Improvements upon adoption of a resolution by the City Council determining that
the application of the special assessments for such purpose will not cause the City to no longer
be in compliance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision l.
(ii) Debt Service Account. There are hereby irrevocably appropriated and pledged to,
and there shall be credited to, the Debt Service Account: (a) all collections of special
assessments herein covenanted to be levied with respect to the Improvexnents and either initially
credited to the Construction Account and not already spent as permitted above and required to
pay any principal and interest due on the Bonds or collected subsequent to the completion of the
Improvements and payment of the costs thereof; (b) all accrued interest received upon delivery
of the Bonds; (c) all funds paid for the Bonds in excess of $2,370,000; (d) all collections of ta.��es
hereafter levied for the payment of the Bonds and interest thereon in the event the suxns herein
pledged for the payment of the Bonds are insufficienf therefor; (e) all funds remaining in the
Construction Account after completion of the Improvements and payment of the costs thereof,
not so transferred to the account of another improvement; all investment earnings on funds
held in the Debt Service Account; and (g) any and all other moneys which are properly available
and are appropriated by the governing body of the City to the Debt Service Account. The Debt
Service Account shall be used solely to pay the principal and interest and any premiums far
z2s2ss3�1 1 6
redemption of the Bonds and any other general obligation bonds of the City hereafter issued by
the City and made payable from said account as provided by law.
No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used directly or indirectly to
acquire higher yielding investments or to replace funds which were used directly or indirectly to
acquire higher yielding investments, except (1) for a reasonable temporary period until such
proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds were issued and (2) in addition to the
above in an amount not greater than the lesser of five percent (5%) of the proceeds ot the Bonds
or $100,000. To this effect any special assessments against benefitted properties are also
pledged to the Debt Service Account, in excess of amounts which under then-applicable federal
arbitrage regulations may be invested without regard to yield shall not be invested at a yield in
excess of the applicable yield restrictions imposed by said arbitrage regulations on such
investments after taking into account any applicable "temporary periods" or "minor portion"
made available under the federal arbitrage regulations. Money in the Fund shall not be invested
in obligations or deposits issued by, guaranteed by or insured by the United States or any agency
or instrumentality thereof if and to the extent that such investment would cause the Bonds to be
"federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code").
16. Assessments. It is hereby determined that no less than one hundred
percent (100%) of the cost to the City of each Improvement financed hereunder within the
meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.58, Subdivision 1(3), shall be paid by special
assessments to be heretofore levied against every assessable lot, piece and parcel of land
benefitted by any of the Improvements. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it will let all
construction contracts not heretofore let within one (1) year after ordering each Improvement
financed hereunder unless the resolution ordering the Improvement specifies a different time
limit for the letting of construction contracts. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it has
done and performed all acts and things necessary for the final and valid levy of such special
assessments, and in the event that any such assessment be at any time held invalid with respect to
any lot, piece or parcel of land due to any error, defect, or irregularity in any action or
proceedings taken or to be taken by the City or the City Council or any of the City officers or
employees, either in the making of the assessments or in the performance of any condition
precedent thereto, the City and the City Council will forthwith do all further acts and take all
further proceedings as may be required by law to make the assessments a valid and binding lien
upon such property. It is hereby determined that the assessments which remain payable are
payable in equal, consecutive installments of principal, with interest on the declining balance, at
a rate per annum not greater than the m�imum permitted by law and not less than 6.00% per
annum:

17. Covera�e Test. The assessments are such that if collected in full they,
together with all other funds herein pledged for the payment of the Bonds, will produce at least
five percent (5%) in excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and interest
payments on the Bonds.
18. General Obli�ation Pled�e. For the prompt and full payment of the
principal and interest on the Bonds, as the same respectively become due, the full faith, credit
and taxing powers of the City shall be and are hereby irrevocably pledged. If the balance in the
Debt Service Account is ever insufficient to pay all principal and interest then due on the Bonds
and any other bonds payable therefrom, the deficiency shall be promptly paid out of any other
funds of the City which are available for such purpose, and such other funds may be reimbursed
with or without interest from the Debt Service Account when a sufficient balance is available
therein.
19. Certificate of Re�istration. The Clerk is hereby directed to file a certified
copy of this resolution with the County Auditor of Hennepin County, Minnesota, together with
such other information as they shall require, and to obtain the County Auditor's Certificate that
the Bonds have been entered in the County Auditor's Bond Register.

and information as are required to show the facts relating to the legality and marketability of the
Bonds as the same appear from the books and records under their custody and control or as
otherwise known to them, and all such certified copies, certificates and affidavits, including any
heretofore furnished, shall be deemed representations of the City as to the facts recited therein.
2 L Defeasance. When all Bonds have been discharged as provided in this
paragraph, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the registered
holders of the Bonds shall, to the extent permitted by law, cease. The City may discharge its
obligations with respect to any Bonds which are due on any date by irrevocably depositing with
the Bond Registrax on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full; or if
any Bond should not be paid when due, it may nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the
Bond Registrar a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest accrued to the date
of such deposit. The City may also discharge its obligations with respect to any prepayable
Bonds called for redemption on any date when they are prepayable according to their terms, by
depositing with the Bond Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment
thereof in full, provided that notice of redemption thereof hasbeen duly given. The City may
also at any time discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds, subject to the provisions of
law now or hereafter authorizing and regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably in escrow,
with a suitable banking institution qualified by law as an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or
securities described in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.67, Subdivision 8, bearing interest
payable at such times and at such rates and maturing on such dates as shall be required, subject
2252853v1 1 g

redemption as herein required has been duly provided for, to such earlier redemption date.
22. Ne�ative Covenant as to Use of Proceeds and Im�rovements. The City
hereby covenants not to use the proceeds of the Bonds or to use the Improvements, or to cause or
permit them to be used, or to enter into any deferred payment arrangements for the cost of the
Iznprovements, in such a manner as to cause the Bonds to be "private activity bonds" within the
meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code.
23. Ta�c-Exemnt Status of the Bonds; Rebate. The City shall comply with
requirements necessary under the Code to establish and maintain the exclusion from gross
income under Section 103 of the Code of the interest on the Bonds, including without limitation
(1) requirements relating to temporary periods for investments, (2) limitations on amounts
invested at a yield greater than the yield on the Bonds, and (3) the rebate of excess investment
earnings to the United States if the Bonds (together with other obligations reasonably expected to
be issued and outstanding at one time in this calendar year) exceed the small-issuer exception
amount of $5,000,000.
For purposes of qualifying for the exception to the federal arbitrage rebate
requirements for governmental units issuing $5,000,000 or less of bonds, the City hereby finds,
determines and declares that (1) the Bonds are issued by a governmental unit with general taxing
powers, (2) no Bond is a private activity bond, (3) ninety-five percent (95%) or more of the net
proceeds of the Bonds are to be used for local goveriunental activities of the City (or of a
governmental unit the jurisdiction of which is entirely within the jurisdiction of the City), and (4)

the City (and all subordinate entities thereof, and all entities treated as one issuer with the City)
during the calendar year in which the Bonds are issued is not reasonably expected to exceed
$5,000,000, all within the meaning of Section 148( fl(4)(D) of the Code.

this paragraph are intended to establish and provide far the City's compliance with United States
Treasury Regulations Section 1.150-2 (the "Reimbursement Regulations") applicable to the

City to reimburse itself for any expenditure which the City paid or will have paid prior to the
Closing Date (a "Reimbursement Expenditure").
The City hereby certifies andlor covenants as follows:

rating on the Bonds from a rating agency, the City will pay that rating fee. Any other rating
agency fees shall be the responsibility of the purchaser.
Failure of the municipal bond insurer to issue the policy after Bonds have been awarded to the
purchaser shall not constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery on
the Bonds.
CUSIP NUMBERS
If the Bonds qualify for assignment of CUSIP numbers such numbers will be printed on the
Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect
thereto will constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery of the
Bonds. The CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of CUS1P identification numbers
shall be paid by the purchaser.

CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
In order to assist the Underwriters in complying with SEC Rule 15c2-12 (the "Rule"), pursuant
to the Award Resolution and Continuing Disclosure Undertaking to be executed on behalf of the
City on or before closing, the City has and will covenant (the "Undertaking") for the benefit of
holders or beneficial owners of the Bonds to provide certain financial information and operating
data relating to the City to certain information repositories annually, and to provide notices of
the occurrence of certain events enumerated in the Rule to certain information repositories or

u e akm Boar
P d and to an
g state information de osito The
Y p ry
specific nature of the Undertaking, as well as the information to be contained in the annual
report or the notices of material events is set forth in the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking in
substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix II, subject to such modifications thereof or
additions thereto as: (i) consistent with requirements under the Rule, (ii) required by the
purchaser of the Bonds from the City and (iii) acceptable to the Mayor and Manager of the City.
The City reserves the right, after proposals are opened and prior to award, to increase or reduce the
principal amount of the Bonds offered for sale. Any such increase or reduction will be made in
multiples of $5,000 in any of the mafurities. In the event the prfncipal amount of the Bonds is

i
The City has never failed to comply in all material respects with �any previous undertakings
under the Rule to provide annual reports or notices of material events. A failure by the City to
comply with the Undertaking will not constitute an event of default on the Bonds (although
holders or other benefcial awners of the Bonds will have the sole remedy of bringing an action
for specific performance). Nevertheless, such a failure must be reported in accordance with the
Rule and must be considered by any broker, dealer or municipal securities dealer before
recommending the purchase or sale of the Bonds in the secondary market. Consequently,
such a failure may adversely affect the transferability and liquidity of the Bonds and their market
price.
THE BONDS
General Description
The Bonds are dated as of December 15, 2008 and will mature annually on February 1 as set
forth on the cover of this Official Statement. The Bonds are issued in book entry form. Interest
on the Bonds is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing
August 1, 2009. Interest will be payable to the holder (initially Cede Co.) registered on the
books of the Registrar on the fifteenth day of the calendar month next preceding such interest
payment date. Principal of and interest on the Bonds will be paid as described in the Section
herein entitled "Book Entry System." U.S. Bank National Association, St. Paul, Minnesota, will
serve as Registrar fo� the Bonds and the City will pay for registration services.
O tional Redem tion
P p
The City may elect on February 1, 2017, and on any day thereafter, to prepay Bonds due on or
after February 1, 2018. Redemption may be in whole or in part and if in part at the option of
the City and in such manner as the City shall determine. If less than all bonds of a maturity are
called for redemption, the City will notify DTC of the particular amount of such maturity to be
prepaid. DTC will determine by lot the amount of each participant's interest in such maturity to
be redeemed and each participant will then select by lot the beneficial ownership interests in
such maturity to be redeemed. AI1 prepayments shall be at a price of par plus accrued interest.
Book Entry System
The Depository Trust Company (�DTC"), New York, New York, wil4 act as securities depository
for the Obligations. The Obligations will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the
name of Cede Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by
an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered certificate will be issued for each
maturity of the Obligations, each in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be
deposited with DTC.
DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a
"banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the
Federal Reserve System, a"clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform
Commercial Code, and a"clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for securities
that its participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade
settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited
securities through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct
Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for_ physical movement of securities
certificates. Direct Participants inc4ude securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies,
-2-
clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
The Depository Trust Clearing Corporation (�DTCC"). DTCC, in turn, is owned by a number
of Direct Participants of DTC and members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation and
Fixed lncome Clearing Corparation all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is
owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to
others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing
corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant,
either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participantsn). The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants
are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be
found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.or4.
Purchases of Obligations under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct
Participants, which will receive a credit for the Obligations on DTC's records. The ownership
interest of each actuaf purchaser ofi each Obligation ("Beneficial Owner") is in tum to be
recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive
written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to
receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements
of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner
entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Obligations are to be
accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf
of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their
ownership interests in the Obligations, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for
the Obligations is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Obligations deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are
registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede Co., or such other name as may
be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Obligations with DTC and
their registration in the name of Cede Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any
change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the
Obligations; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Dir�ct Participants to whose accounts
such Obligations are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and
Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of
their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct
Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to
Beneficial Owners will be govemed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or
regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Obligations
may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant
events with respect to the Obligations, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed
amendments to the Obligations documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of the Obligations
may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Obligations for their benefit has agreed to
obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may
wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of the
notices be provided directly to them.
Redemption notices are required to be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Obligations within a
maturity are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of
each Direct Participant in such maturity to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede 8� Co. (nor such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to
the Obligations unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's procedures.
Under its usuaf procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Issuer or Bond Registrar as
soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede Co.'s consenting
or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Obligations are credited on
the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
-3-
Payment of principal, interest, and redemption premium, if any, on the Obligations will be made
to Cede Co. or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of
DTC. DTCs practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts, upon DTC's receipt of funds and
corresponding detail information from the Issuer or its agent on the payable date in accordance
with their respective holdings shown on DTCs records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial
Owners will be govemed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with
securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and
will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC (nor its nominee), the Bond
Registrar, or the Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect
from time to time. Payment of principal, interest, and redemption premium, if any, to Cede
Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is
the responsibility of the Bond Registrar, Issuer, or the lssuer's agent. Disbursement of such
payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such
payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
A Beneficial Owner shall ive notice to elect to have its Obli i
9 at ons urchased or tendered
thro 9 p
u hi P i
g ts art cipant, to Trustee, and shall effect delivery of such Obligations by causing the
Direct Partici ant to tran f
p s er the Partici ant s inter
est in the Obli ations n
P o DTC s records to
9
Trustee. The requirement for physica! delivery of Obligations in connection with an optionat
tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the
Obligations are transferred by Direct Participants on DTCs records and followed by a book-
entry credit of tendered Obligations to Trustee's DTC account.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the
Obligations at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Issuer or its agent. Under such
circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, certificates
are required to be printed and delivered.
The Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through
DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, certificates will be printed and
delivered to DTC.
The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been
obtained from sources that the Issuer believes to be reliable, but the Issuer takes no
responsibility for the accuracy thereof.
AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE
The Bonds are being issued pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 429 and 475. Proceeds
of the Bonds, along with available funds, will be used to finance various improvement projects
within the City. The composition of the Bonds is as follows
Project Costs $2,564,234
Less: Available Funds (224,302)
Plus: Costs of Issuance 30,948
Allowance for Discount Bidding 19,120
Total Bonds $2,390,000

t:.
SECURITY AND FINANCING
The Bonds are general obligations of the City for which the City pledges its full faith and credit
and power to levy direct general ad valorem taxes. In addition, the City pledges special
assessments levied against benefited property for repayment of the Bonds. Special
assessments in an aggregate principal amount of $818,116 were filed in 2007 for first collection
in 2008. Additional special assessments in an aggregate principal amount of $1,746,118 were
filed in 2008 for first collection in 2009. All special assessments have a term of ten years with
equal annual payments of principal. Interest on the unpaid balance will be charged at a rate of
6.0%. Special assessments, if collected in full, will be sufficient to pay 105% of the interest
payment due August 1 in the year of collection and the principal and interest payment due
February 1 the following year. The City does not expect the need to levy taxes for repayment
of the Bonds.
FUTURE FINANCING
The City anticipates issuing approximately $2,600,000 of general obligation water revenue
bonds in the first half of 2009.
LITIGATION
The City is not aware of any threatened or pending litigation affecting the validity of the Bonds
or the City's ability to meet its financial obligations.
LEGALITY
The Bonds are subject to approval as to certain matters by Briggs and Morgan, Professional
Association, of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota, as Bond Counsel. Bond Counsel has
not participated in the preparation of this O�cial Statement and will not pass upon its accuracy,
completeness, or sufficiency. Bond Counsel has not examined nor attempted to examine or
verify, any of the financial or statistical statements, or data contained in this Official Statement
and will express no opinion with respect thereto. A legal opinion in substantially the form set
out in Appendix I herein will be delivered at closing.
TAX EXEMPTION
At closing Briggs and Morgan, Professional Association, Bond Counsel, will render an opinion
that, at the time of their issuance and delivery to the original purchasers, under present federal
and State of Minnesota laws, regulations, rulings and decisions (which excludes any pending
legislation which may have a retroactive effect), the interest on each Bond is excluded from
gross income for purposes of United States income tax and is excluded, to the same extent, in
computing both gross income and taxable net income for purposes of State of Minnesota
income tax (other than Minnesota franchise taxes measured by income and imposed on
-5-
corporations and financial institutions), and that interest on the Bonds is not an item of tax
preference for purposes of computing the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on
individuals and corporations or the Minnesota alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals,
estates or trusts; provided that interest on the Bonds is subject to federal income taxation to the
extent it is included as part of adjusted current eamings for purposes of computing the
altemative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations. No opinion will be expressed by
Bond Counsel regarding other federal or state tax consequences caused by the receipt or
accrual of interest on the Bonds or arising with respect to ownership of the Bonds. Preservation
of the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from federal gross income and state gross and taxable
net income, however, depends upon compliance by the City with all requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code") that must be satisfied subsequent to the
issuance of the Bonds in order that interest thereon be (or continue to be) excluded from
federal gross income and state gross and taxable net income.
The City will covenant to comply with requirements necessary under the Code to establish and
maintain the Bonds as tax-exempt under Section 103 thereof, including without limitation,
requirements relating to temporary periods for investments and limitations on amounts invested
at a yield greater than the yield on the Bonds.
OTHER FEDERAL AND STATE TAX CONSIDERATDNS
Property and Casualty Insurance Companies
Property and casualty insurance companies are required to reduce the amount of their loss
reserve deduction by 15% of the amount of tax-exempt interest received or accrued during the
taxable year on certain obligations acquired after August 7, 1986, including interest on the
Bonds.
Foreign Insurance Companies
Foreign companies carrying on an insurance business in the United States are subject to a tax
on income which is effectively connected with their conduct of any trade or business in the
United States, including "net investment income." Net investment income includes tax-exempt
interest such as interest on the Obligations.
Branch Profits Tax
A foreign corporation is subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% of the "dividend equivalent
amount" for the taxable year. The "dividend equivalent amount" is the foreign corporation's
"effectively connected earnings and profits" adjusted for increase or decrease in "U.S. net
equity." A branch's earnings and profits may include tax-exempt municipal bond interest, such
as interest on the Bonds.
Passive Investment Income of S Corporations
Passive investment income, including interest on the Bonds, may be subject to federal income
taxation under Section 1375 of the Code for an S corporation that has Subchapter C earnings
and profits at the close of the taxable year if more than 25% of the gross receipts of such S
corporation is passive investment income.

Financial Institutions
For federal income tax purposes, financial institutions are unable to deduct any portion of the
interest expense allocable to the ownership of certain tax-exempt obligations acquired after
August 7, 1986, including the Bonds but for the designation as Bank-Qualified Tax-Exempt
Bonds below. See "Bank-Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations" below.
State Tax Exemption
The 1995 Minnesota Legislature enacted a law that included interest on obligations of
Minnesota governmental units and Indian tribes in net income of individuals, estates and trusts
for Minnesota income tax purposes if a court determines that Minnesota's exemption of such
interest unlawfully discriminates against interstate commerce because interest on obligations of
govemmental issuers located in other states is not excluded. This law applies to taxable years
that begin during or after the calendar year in which any such court decision becomes final,
irrespective of the date on which the obligations were issued. The Court of Appeals of
Kentucky recently held that Kentucky's exemption of interest on its own bonds, but not of
interest on the bonds of other states, unlawfully discriminates against interstate commerce. In
a decision released May 19, 2008, the United States Supreme Court has overtumed this
decision and confirmed the constitutionality of a state exempting from its own income tax the
interest on bonds issued by itself and its political subdivisions while taxing the interest on other
bonds.
General
The preceding is not a comprehensive list of all federal or State tax consequences which may
arise from the receipt or accrual of interest on the Bonds. The receipt or accrual of interest on
the Bonds may otherwise affect the federal income tax (or Minnesota income tax or franchise
tax) liability of the recipient based on the particular taxes to which the recipient is subject and
the particular tax status of other items of income or deductions. All prospective purchasers of
the Bonds are advised to consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of, or tax
considerations for, purchasing or holding the Bonds.
BANK-QUALIFIED TAX-EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS
The City will designate the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of
Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1
986, as amended, relating to the ability of
financial institutions to deduct from income for federal income tax purposes, interest expense
that is allocable to carrying and acquiring tax-exempt obligations.
-7-
RATING
An appiication for a rating of the Bonds has been made to Moody's Investors Service
("Moody's"), 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich Street, 23`� Floor, New York, New York. If a
rating is assigned, it will reflect only the opinion of Moody's. Any explanation of the significance
of the rating may be obtained only from Moody's.
There is no assurance that a rating, if assigned, will continue for any given period of time, or
that such rating will not be revised or withdrawn if, in the judgment of Moody's, circumstances
so warrant. A revision or withdrawal of the rating may have an adverse effect on the market
price of the Bonds.
FINANCIAL ADVISOR
The Cit h
as retained
y Springsted Incorporated, Public Sector Advisors, of St. Paul, Minnesota
as financial advisor (the Financial Advisor') m connection with the issuance of the Bonds. In

initial sale of the Bonds. As of the date of the settlement of the Bonds, the Purchaser will be
furnished with a certificate signed by the appropriate officers of the City. The certificate will

of the date of the certificate contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

CITY INVESTMENTS
The City's investment policy, last revised in October 2006, has the objectives of preserving
safety of principal, retaining sufficient liquidity, providing a market rate of retum, and yielding
stable earnings on invested City funds.
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 118A, authorize and define an investment program for municipal
governments. The City may invest in the following instruments allowed by Minnesota Statutes:
a. Securities that are the direct obligations or are guaranteed or insured issues of the
United States, its agencies, its instrumentalities, or organizations created by an act of
Congress; including govemmental bills, notes, bonds, and other securities.
b. Commercial paper issued by U.S. corporations or their Canadian subsidiaries that is
rated in the highest quality by at least finro nationally recognized rating agencies and
matures in 270 days or less. These investments are limited by City policy to funds that
are professionally managed and include a mix of investments.
c. Time deposits that are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
bankers acceptances of U.S. banks.
d. Repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements may be entered into with
financial inst�tutions identified by Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 118A.
e. Securities lending agreements may be entered into with financial institutions identified
by Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 118A.
f. Minnesota joint powers investment trusts may be entered into with trusts identified by
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 118A
g. Money market mutual funds regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and
whose portfolios consist only of short-term securities permitted by Minnesota Statutes,
Chapter 118A.
h. Bonds of the City of Brooklyn Center issued in prior years may be redeemed at current
market price, which may include a premium, prior to maturity using surplus funds of the
debt service fund set up for that issue. Such repurchased bonds shall be canceled and
removed from the obligation of the fund.
-15-
Derivative securities, which obtain their value by the calculation of some portion of the value of
another security, shall not be purchased. Mortgage-backed securities, which are not agency
securities backed by the United States govemment, and stripped securities also shall not be
purchased pursuant to the City's investment policy.
Investments of the City shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation
of capital in the overail portfolio. Safety of principal is the foremost objective.
Liquidity and yield are also important considerations. It is essential that the investment portfolio
remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated.
The investment portfolio of the City shall be designed to attain a market-average rate of return
during budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City's investment risk
constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of least importance compared to the
objectives for safety and liquidity. Securities shall be heid to maturity with the exceptions of
meeting the liquidity needs of the portfolio and minimizing loss of principal for a security of
declining credit. Securities of various maturities shall be purchased so that at least half of the
investment portfolio will remain for finro or more years with known interest rates.
Authority to manage the investment program is vested in the City Manager, City Treasurer, and
Assistant Finance Director, with the City Treasurer responsible for establishing and maintaining
an internal control structure to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of the
investment policy are met.
As of September 30, 2008, the City had $40,138,716 (par value) invested, with a market
value of $40,126,302 (100% of the original cost to the City plus amortized premium).
Government agency securities totaled $8,000,000, representing 20% of the portfolio.
Certificates of deposit totaled $4,416,000, representing 11% of the portfolio. The balance of
$27,722,716, representing 69% of the portfolio, was invested in money market accounts. All of
the investments in the City's portfolio mature within 60 months or less. The longest investment
held by the City is currently scheduled to mature in August of 2013.
GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE CITY
The City of Brooklyn Center is a northern suburb of the Minneapolis/Saint Paul metropolitan.
area, adjacent to the City of Minneapolis. The City is wholly within Hennepin County and
encompasses an area of approximately 8.5 square miles (5,500 acres). The Mississippi River
forms the City's eastern boundary.
The City experienced its most rapid growth from 1950 to 1970 when the City's population grew
from 4,300 to its peak of 35,173. The State demographer's 2007 population estimate for the
City was 28,137. The 2000 U.S. Census count for the City was 29,172, a 1.0% increase from
the 1990 Census.
Major transportation routes in and through the City, including Interstate Highways 94 and 694
and State Highways 100 and 252, have provided a continued impetus for the development of
the City's commercial tax base.
-16-
Growth and Development
Commerciai and Industrial property comprises approximatefy 29% ofi the City's taxable net tax
capacity. There are four major shopping centers located in the City in addition to a number of
other retail establishments. These include Kohl's Department Store, Cub Foods, Schmitt Music,
and several car dealerships. The largest commercial property in the City is Brookdale Mall, a
1 million square-foot regional shopping center. The center is anchored by Sears and Macy's.
The other retail centers in the City are Brookdale Square, a 125,000 square-foot strip mall with
an eight-screen movie theater; Shingle Creek Center, a 157,000 square-foot complex anchored
by Target; and Brookview Plaza, a 70,000 square-foot center anchored by Best Buy.
Additionally, Regal Cinema operates a theater complex with 20 screens in an 85,000
square-foot facility.
The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and the City executed a Development
Agceement and Purchase Option for 8 acres of land at the intersection of Interstate 94 and
Highway 100. This land, acquired by the City for redevelopment in 2007, will be the site of a
new 140,000 square-foot Class A office building with adjacent parking ramp. The site will be
developed by a third party on behalf of the GSA and will be fully taxable, expanding the City's
tax base significantly. The Federal Bureau of Investigation will be the major tenant in the
building with a 20-year lease. Adjacent to the site is an additional 5.4 acres of redevelopment
land being considered for ancillary purposes.
An Embassy Suites hotel of 175 rooms is under construction and scheduled to open in the fall
of 2009. The hotel will be connected to the City's Earle Brown Heritage Center meeting and
conference facility. A portion of the conference center is being leased by Embassy Suites to
develop and operate a spa. It is expected that the availability of adjacent hotel facilities will
allow the conference facility to attract conferences and conventions that have, in the past, not
been interested because of lack of hotel facilities immediately adjacent to the facility.
Buildings have been cleared from the Brookdale Ford site at Highway 100 and County Road 10.
Environmental concems have been addressed and the site is available and being marketed for
redevelopment.
This convergence of highways makes the City an attractive site for hotels and motels. Currently
operating in the City are Americlnn, Comfort Inn, Country Inn Suites, Days Inn, Extended
Stay America, Crown Plaza Hotel, Motel 6, and Super 8 Motel.

-20-
Other Post-Employment Benefits
The Govemmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has issued Statement No. 45,
Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than
Pensions (GASB 45), which addresses how state and local govemments must account for and
report their obligations related to post-employment healthcare and other non-pension benefits
(referred to as Other Post Employment Benefits or "OPEB"). GASB 45 requires that local
govemments account for and report the annual cost of OPEB and the outstanding obligations
and commitments related to OPEB in essentially the same manner as they currently do for
pensions.
The City provides continued health insurance coverage for retired City employees who meet
PERA eligibility requirements and have at least 25 continuous full-time uninterrupted years of
service with the City. This coverage does not extend to the retiree's family, except that if the
retiree desires to continue family coverage, the coverage can be continued if the retiree
reimburses the City for the additional premium cost in excess of single coverage. This benefit
began in 1986 and was subsequently discontinued for employees hired after January 31, 1992.
As of December 31, 2007, the City had 52 eligible participants. The City currently finances the
plan on a pay-as-you-go basis. During 2007, the City expended $76,866 for these benefits.
The retiree health benefits discussed above are the City's only OPEB. Beginning with the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2008, the City must report an annual OPEB cost based on
actuarially determined amounts that, if paid on an ongoing basis, will provide sufficient
resources to pay these benefits as they come due.
The City has hired the Stanton Group to perforrn an actuarial analysis of the projected yearly
cost of these benefits. The completed Stanton Group's report will be used by the City in
preparing its 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report is not yet complete and it is not
known at this point what the City's liability will be with respect to these benefits. The recorded
City OPEB liability in those statements will be $1,335,082 for December 31, 2008.

GENERAL OBLIGATION IMPROVEMENT BONDS,
SERIES 2008B
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
HENNEPIN COUNTY
MINNESOTA
We have acted as bond counsel in connection with the issuance by the City of Brooklyn
Center, Hennepin County, Minnesota (the "Issuer"), of its $2,390,000 General Obligation
Improvement Bonds, Series 2008B, bearing a date of original issue of December 15, 2008 (the
"Bonds"). We have examined the law and such certified proceedings and other documents as we
deem necessary to render this opinion.
We have not been engaged or undertaken to review the accuracy, completeness or
sufficiency of the Official Statement or other offering material relating to the Bonds and we
express no opinion relating thereto.
As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon the certified
proceedings and other certifications of public o�cials furnished to us without undertaking to
verify the same by independent investigation.
Based upon such examinations, and assuming the authenticity of all documents submitted
to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as
certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents, and the
accuracy of the statements of fact contained in such documents, and based upon present
Minnesota and federal laws (which excludes any pending legislation which may have a
retroactive effect on or before the date hereo�, regulations, rulings and decisions, it is our
opinion that:
(1) The proceedings show lawful authority for the issuance of the Bonds according to
their terms under the Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota now in force.
(2) The Bonds are valid and binding general obligations of the Issuer and all of the
taxable property within the Issuer's jurisdiction is subject to the levy of an ad valorem tax to pay
the same without limitation as to rate or amount; provided that the enforceability (but not the
validity) of the Bonds and the pledge of taxes and special assessments for the payment of the
principal and interest thereon is subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with
I-1
general principles of equity, to the constitutional powers of the United States of America and to
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors'
rights heretofore or hereafter enacted.
(3) At the time of the issuance and delivery of the Bonds to the original purchaser, the
interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for United States income t� purposes and
is excluded, to the same extent, from both gross income and t�able net income for State of
Minnesota income tax purposes (other than Minnesota franchise taa�es measured by income and
imposed on corporations and financial institutions), and is not an item of tax preference for
purposes of the federal alternative minimum taa� imposed on individua.ls and corporations or the
Minnesota alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, estates or trusts; it should be noted,
however, that for the purpose of computing the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on
corporations, such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings. The
opinions set forth in the preceding sentence are subject to the condition that the Issuer comply
with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that must be satisfied
subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in order that interest thereon be, or continue to be,
excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and from both gross income and
taa�able net income for State of Minnesota income tax purposes. Failure to comply with certain
of such requirements may cause the inclusion of interest on the Bonds in gross income and
taxable net income retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds.
We express no opinion regarding other state or federal tax consequences caused by the
receipt or accrual of interest on the Bonds or arising with respect to ownership of the Bonds.
Dated at Saint Paul, Minnesota, this day of December, 2008.

Taxable Market Value. The Taxable Market Value is the value that property taxes are based
on, after all reductions, limitations, exemptions and deferrals. It is also the value used to
calculate a municipality's legal debt limit.
Indicated Market Value. The Indicated Market Value is determined by dividing the Taxable
Market Value of a given year by the same year's sales ratio determined by the State
Department of Revenue. The Indicated Market Value serves to eliminate disparities between
individual assessors and equalize property values statewide.
Net Tax Caqacitv. The Net Tax Capacity is the value upon which net taxes are levied,
extended and co(lected_ The Net Tax Capacity is computed by applying the class rate
percentages specific to each type of property classification against the Taxable Market Value.
Class rate percentages vary depending on the type of property as shown on the last page of
this Appendix. The formulas and c)ass rates for converting Taxable Market Value to Net Tax
Capacity represent a basic element of the State's property tax relief system and are subject to
annual revisions by the State Legislature.
Property taxes are determined by muftip(ying the Net Tax Capacity by the tax capacity rate, plus
multiplying the referendum market value by the market value rate.
III-1
Property Tax Payments and Delinquencies
(Chapters 275, 276, 277, 279-282 and 549, Minnesota Statutes)
Ad valorem property taxes levied by local govemments in Minnesota are extended and
collected by the various counties within the State. Each taxing jurisdiction is required to certify
the annual tax levy to the county auditor within five (5) working days after December 20 of the
year preceding the collection year. A listing of property taxes due is prepared by the county
auditor and turned over to the county treasure� on or before the first business day in March.
The county treasurer is responsible for collecting all property taxes within the county. Real
estate and personal property tax statements are mailed out b March 31. One-half 1/
y 2) of the
taxes on real
pro ert is due on or b f
P Y e ore May 15. The remainder is due on or before
October 15. Real property taxes not paid by their due date are assessed a penalty that,
depending on the type of property, increases from 2% to 4% on the day after the due date. In
the case of the first installment of real property taxes due May 15, the penalty increases to 4%
or 8% on June 1. Thereafter an additional 1°
/o enalt shall accrue ea h
p y c month throu h
9
October 1 of the collection ear for un aid real ro ert taxes. In h
Y p p p y t e case of the second
installment of real property taxes due October 15, the penalty increases to 6% or 8% on
November 1 and increases again to 8% or 12% on December 1. Personal property taxes
remainin un aid on Ma 16 are
9 p y deemed to be delin uent and a enal
q p t of 8/o attaches to the
Y
unpaid tax. However, personal property that is owned by a tax-exempt entity, but is treated as
taxable by virtue of a lease agreement, is subject to the same delinquent property tax penalties
as real property.
On the first business day of January of the year following collection all delinquencies are
subject to an additional 2% enalt and those d'
p elm uencies outstandin as of Febru
Y q g ary 15 are
filed for a tax lien ud men
t with the district cou
J 9 rt. By March 20 the county auditor files a
publication of legal action and a mailing of notice of action to delinquent parties. Those
property interests not responding to this notice have judgment entered for the amount of the
delinquency and associated penalties. The amount of the judgment is subject to a variable
interest determined annually by the Department of Revenue, and equal to the adjusted prime
rate charged by banks but in no event is the rate less than 10% or more than 14°/a.
Property owners subject to a tax lien judgment generally have five years (5) in the case of all
property located outside of cities or in the case of residential homestead, agricultural
homestead and seasonal residential recreational property located within cities or three (3) years
with respect to other types of property to redeem the property. After expiration of the
redemption period, unredeemed properties are declared tax forfeit with title held in trust by the
State of Minnesota for the respective taxing districts. The county auditor, or equivalent thereof,
then sells those properties not claimed for a public purpose at auction. The net proceeds of the
sale are first dedicated to the satisfaction of outstanding special assessments on the parcel,
with any remaining balance in most cases being divided on the following basis: county 40%;
town or city 20%; and school district 40%.
Property Tax Credits (Chapter 273, Minnesota Statutes)
In addition to adjusting the taxable value for various property types, primary elements of
Minnesota's property tax relief system are: property tax fevy reduction aids; the circuit breaker
credit, which relates property taxes to income and provides relief on a sliding income scale; and
targeted tax relief, which is aimed primarily at easing the effect of significant tax increases. The
circuit breaker credit and targeted credits are reimbursed to the taxpayer upon application by
the taxpayer. Property tax levy reduction aid includes educational aids, loca) governmental aid,
equalization aid, county program aid and disparity reduction aid.
III-2
Levy Limitations for Counties and Cities (Chapter 366)
The 2008 Legislature enacted provisions to establish levy limitations for taxes levied
for collection in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Basically, levy increases for cities over 2,500 population
and for counties are limited to its levy aid base or levy limit base for collection in the prior
year, (1) plus the lesser of 3.9 percent or the percentage growth in the implicit price
deflator, (2) plus an adjustment for population increases and (3) plus increases in taxable
market value due to new construction of certain class 3 property (commercial/industrial).
Certain property tax levies are authorized outside of the new overall levy limitations
("special levies"). Special levies can be made outside of levy limits for multiple purposes
including, but not limited to, bonded indebtedness, certificates of indebtedness, tax or aid
anticipation certificates of indebtedness, and to provide for the bonded indebtedness portion of
payments made to another political subdivision of the State of Minnesota. In order to receive
approval for any special levy claims outside of the overall levy limitation, requests for
such special levies must be submitted to the Commissioner of Revenue by the date specified in
the year in which the levy is to be made for collection in the following year. The Commissioner
of Revenue has the authority to approve, reduce, or deny a special levy request.
Final adjustments to all levies must be made by the Department of Revenue on or before
December 10.
Debt Limitations
All Minnesota municipalities (counties, cities, towns and school districts) are subject to statutory
"net debt" limitations under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.53. Net debt is
defined as the amount remaining after deducting from gross debt the amount of current
revenues that are applicable within the current fiscal year to the payment of any debt and the
aggregate of the principal of the following:
1. Obligations issued for improvements that are payable wholly or partially from the
proceeds of special assessments levied upon benefited property.
2. Warrants or orders having no definite or fixed maturity.
3. Obligations payable wholly from the income from revenue producing conveniences.
4. Obligations issued to create or maintain a permanent improvement revolving fund.
5. Obligations issued for the acquisition and betterment of public waterworks systems,
and public lighting, heating or power systems, and any combination thereof, or for any
other public convenience from which revenue is or may be derived.
6. Certain debt service loans and capital loans made to school districts.
7. Certain obligations to repay loans.
8. Obligations specifically excluded under the provisions of law authorizing their
issuance.
9. Certain obligations to pay pension fund liabilities.
10. Debt service funds for the payment of principal and interest on obligations other than
those described above.
11. Obligations issued to pay judgments against the municipality.
III-3
Levies for General Obligation Debt
(Sections 475.61 and 475.74, Minnesata Statutes)
Any municipality that issues general obligation debt must, at the time of issuance, certify levies
to the county auditor of the county(ies) within which the municipality is situated. Such levies
shall be in an amount that if collected in full will, together with estimates of other revenues
pledged for payment of the obligations, produce at least five percent in excess of the amount
needed to pay principal and interest when due. Notwithstanding any other limitations upon the
ability of a taxing unit to levy taxes, its ability to levy taxes for a deficiency in prior levies for
payment of general obligation indebtedness is without limitation as to rate or amount.
Metropolitan Revenue Distribution (Chapter 473F, Minnesota Statutes)
"Fiscal Disparities Law"
The Charles R. Weaver Metropolitan Revenue Distribution Act, more commonly known as
"Fiscal Disparities," was first implemented for taxes payable in 1975. Forty percent of the
increase in commercial-industrial (including public utility and railroad) net tax capacity valuation
since 1971 in each assessment district in the MinneapolislSt. Paul seven-county metropolitan
area (Anoka, Carver, Dakota, excluding the City of Northfield, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott,
excluding the City of New Prague, and Washington Counties) is contributed to an area-wide tax
base. A distribution index, based on the factors of population and real property market value
per capita, is employed in determining what proportion of the net tax capacity value in the area-
wide tax base shall be distributed back to each assessment district.

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEIvIENT OF REVENUES,
EXPENDITURES, AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF
GpVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF AGTIVITIES
For the Year Ended Deceanber 31, 2007
Amounu reported for governmental activities in the srntement of activiries are different because:
Net changes in fund balances toral govemmental funds (Statement 4) (5,277,021)
Govemmencal funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of
activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported
as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital oudays exceeded depreciation
in the cwrent period. 2,737,094
Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources are not
reported as revenues in the funds. 2,766,100
The issuance of Iong-term debt (e.g., bonds, leases) provides current financial resources
to govemmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long tecm deht consumes
the current financial resources of goveramental funds. Neither uansaction, however, has
any effect on net assets. 'fhis amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment
of long-term debt and related items. 2
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the cost of certain activities to
individual funds. This amount is net revenue attributable to govemmental activities. 425,833
Accrued interest reported in the statement of activities does not require the use of current financial
resources and, therefore, is not reported as expenditures in govanmental funds. 20,032
Change in net asseu of governmental activides (Statement 2) 3,212,038
The accomparryingnotes are an.integral part ofthese fu:ancial statements.

COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Vickie Schleuning,"A� istant to the City Manager
DATE: December 8, 2008
SUBJECT: Resolutions Amending the Fee Schedule for Certain Inspection and
Neighborhood Maintenance Services
Recommendation:
Staff is recommending the adoption of the subj ect resolutions amending the fee schedule for
certain inspection and public nuisance services.
Background:
Options for fees certa.in inspection and neighborhood maintenance services were discussed at the
City Council Work Session on November 24, 2008. Based on feedback, the language regarding
the two reinspection fee categories (multi-unit properties with four or more units and properties
with one to three units) was changed to provide a better distinction between the two categories.
Certain services for maintaining the community in a safe and attractive condition are performed
by the Community Development Department and Public Works Department. Costs of these
services are sometimes reimbursed through fees and service charges, fully or partially. By law,
the maximum charges must appropriately reflect the costs the city incurs. Fees and service
charges are periodically reviewed and adjusted accordingly. As a result, two resolutions are
presented for Council consideration. Marty items were considered in the recommendation of
these fees including:
Should the costs of city services be fully recovered or partially subsidized based on
overall impact to public good?
How does the charge or fee influence the desired outcome and city council goals?
Is the charge justifiable in accordance with Sta.te law?
Some charts are provided in Attachment III, which indicate some fees and chazges, as well as fee
structures, in other cities for various city services.
SUMMARY OF FIRST RESOLUTION
Reinspection Fees
Reinspections performed under Chapters 12 and 3, reinspections of rental properties and building
inspections. The proposed changes are as follows:
Increase the reinspection fee from $50 to $100. The reinspection would continue to
apply to the 2" reinspection and each successive reinspection. This fee was last changed
in 2005.
For multi-unit properties with four or more units, a reinspection fee would apply to each
common area and each unit in order to more appropriately cover the costs of service.
Currently a large complex is only charged the one reinspection fee regardless of the
number of areas and units requiring reinspection. For example, reinspecting a single
family home would be charged the same amount as reinspecting an apartment complex
with 100 units.
City Facilitated Abatement Service Charges
A tiered fee schedule is proposed to help recover city costs associated with the elimination of
nuisances where voluntary compliance is not achieved from the responsible party.
The fees are based on average resource costs for certain abatements. Typically
abatements with higher costs are a result of more complex problems and take more
resources.
The fees would provide a more uniform application to various types of abatements. I.e.
long grass/weed, junk/garbage, securing property, etc.
Instead of multiple charges for certain types of services, the fees have been combined so
they are easier for the customer to understand and easier for the staff to administer
through a more streamlined process.
A summary of the second resolution is provided below. Baseline fees associated with vacant
buildings are indicated. If a property requires other city services, they would be charged a
service charge as otherwise indicated by the existing fee schedule.
SUNIlVIARY OF SECOND RESOLUTION
Registration Fee
The second resolution sets forth vacant building registration fees. A broad spectrum of fee
schedules range throughout the nation based on condition of properties, years vacant, overall
impact to city service costs, direct costs, support of organization goals, or combination thereof. A
tiered fee schedule is proposed to encourage maintenance of properties and efforts to place the
property back into positive use with the following considerations:
It is important to be able to monitor changes to the housing market, evaluate conditions of
housing, and be able to base housing strategies on gathered information. Monitoring
vacant properties that are vacant for more than 30 days provides a tool to accomplish this.
However, properties that are well maintained and the responsible party is actively
working to re-occupy, demolish or otherwise provide long-term solution would take less
city resources and therefore a minimal fee is proposed. The 30-day vacancy prior to
registration would allow the property owner to rnake any necessary corrections and
improvements prior to registering with the city.
Properties vacant for more than a year inherently pose a greater risk to the community.
They become a greater risk for vandalism, dumping, becoming an attractive nuisance and
detracting from the neighborhood. Subsequently, a greater amount of city resources is
required to monitor; inspect; conduct investigations; perform water shutoffs; respond to
complaints, criminal activities, and van�alisni; and to conduct enforcen�ent activ�ties-
where voluntary compliance cannot be achieved.
Budget Issues:
Many items were considered in the recommendation of these fees including:
Should the costs of city services be fully recovered or partially subsidized based on
overall benefit to the public and community?
How does the charge or fee influence the desired outcome and city council goals?
Is the charge justifiable in accordance with Sta.te law?

City of Brooklyn Center
A Millenniurr��t�r ��M MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Curt Boganey, City Manage��'j
DATE: December 4, 2008
SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing employee use of Community Center at no charge
Recommendation:
I recommend that the City Council consider approval/adoption of the subject resolution authoring
employee use of the Community Activity Center with no charge as a means of encouraging better
health and increased productivity.
Background:
Research suggests employers get an average of $3.48 back in reduced health care costs and $5.82 in
lower absenteeism cost for every dollar spent on employee wellness. According to the Journal of
Qccupational and Environmental Medicine, people who exercise as little_ as once a week in em.ployee
fitness programs average nearly five fewer sick days per year.
Benefits For Employers:
i Enhanced employee productivity
Improved health care costs management
Decreased rates of illness and injuries
Reduced employee absenteeism
Benefits For Employees:
Lower levels of stress
Improved physical fitness
Increased stamina
Potential weight reduction
The City of Shoreview also provides all employees free membership to their community center.
Employee members can upgrade to a family membership by paying the difference between the single
and family fees. We are recommending the same opportunity for our employees.
Employees will be allowed to use the facility when they are off duty during non working hours.
Each year the program will be reviewed to determine the value, benefits and cost of the program.
Budget Issues:
It is anticipated that there will be no significant impact on the budget due the fact that very few
employees are current members. It is conceivable the increased employee membership will
encourage family memberships that will add revenue the Center. The cost of lighting, heating and
staffing of the community center would not change.

RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EMPLOYEE USE OF COMMUNITY
CENTER AT NO CHARGE
WHEREAS, the City of Brooklyn Center recognizes that the health of its
employees is very important; and
WHEREAS, the benefits of helping our workforce stay healthy are substantial, as
it allows workers to be more productive, reduces the number of workdays lost to illness and
lowers health care costs; and
WHEREAS, the Brooklyn Center Employee Wellness Subcommittee has
requested that Brooklyn Center employees be able to use the Community Center at no charge
during non-work hours, as a way of encouraging fitness and improved health; and
WHEREAS, there would be no significant impact on the budget by allowing said
use.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota: Employees are authorized to use the Community Center according
to the following parameters:
1. Regular Employees upon request will be provided individual memberships
to the Community Center.
2. Employees can upgrade to a dual or household membership by paying the
difference between the fees.
3. Use of the Community Center will be restricted to non-work hours.

Redevelo ment Within the B pp ty
P
Central Park Master Plan and the Center Brookdale Goif Course Master Plan.
Council Action Recommended
Should the City Council chose to proceed with the implementation of elements of the
Shingle Creek Daylighting Study Framework Plan; City Staff will prepare a resolution
adopting this Development Framework as a development guide for creek enhan�ements
and planning for the redevelopment of the Brookdale Mall and the Opportunity Site.
Background Information:
On October 13, 2008, the City Council Study Session included a presentation by Hennepin
in le Creek Framework Plan. The
County Staff and Consultants on the Daylighting Sh g
framework plan dividedthe creek into four segments:
Reach 1-A The Center Brookdale Golf Course Area
Reach 1-B The Brookdale Mall Area
Reach 2-A The Creek Area South of the Hennepin County Library and
the Opportunity Site
Reach 2-B The Central Park Area south of I-694
And included the following components:
Issues, challenges, opportunities and constraints for each study area.

Redevelobment and Creek Enhancement Opnortunities
[Reach 2 A and B]
1. In a cooperative effort with Hennepin County, the Shingle Creek Watershed
Commission and the Three River Parks District, the city could proceed with the
f�ll��ving-enhancements identified within the Framework Plan: -T w-
Reduce stormwater runoff volumes and peak flows
Remove invasive plant species and increase native vegetation along creek banks
Reintroduce meanders where space allows
Use of stormwater as an amenity to create connections with green infrastructure
Improve pool/riffle regime for improved oxygen and habitat
Re-establish vegetative buffers
Reduce nutrient and sediment loading to the creek with stormwater treatment
on adjacent parcels
Preliminary discussions with Hennepin County indicate their willingness to retain the
engineers from the Watershed to design and prepare plans and specification for public
bidding. The Counry has also indicated that they would work with the City in funding these
improvements.
The Three Rivers Parks District has indicated a willingness to include the reconstruction of
this trail as part of their Capital Improvement Plan and a regional trail connection
agreement with the City that would complete the connection of the Twin Lakes Trail
Corridor to the Shingle Creek Trail Corridor.
[Reach 2 B]
2. The Ciry can promote the planning for the redevelopment of the Opportunity Site to
include the following:
Incorporation of stormwater treatment into the streetscape design.
Incorporation of shared stormwater areas.
Incorporation of trail connections through the Opportunity Site and back to
Central Park.
Preliminary discussion with a developer interested in a commercial Planned Unit
Development for the southern 30+ acres has indicated a willingness to work with
the City to incorporate these type of design features into their development
concepts.
[Reach 1B]
3. The daylighting concepts have been provided to the previous Mall owner and a
prospective new owner of the Mall, both parties were receptive to working with the
City to include the following design principals into their redevelopment plans:
New daylighted, low-flow creek channel that incorporates a meandering
2
alignment, substrate diversity, riffles and pools, and native riparian vegetation
that will restore ecological function and facilitate fish migration.
A culvert under the new mall entrance road that will direct low flows to the new
daylighted channel, but restrict high flows, forcing the water to overtop the
existing weir and into the existing box culvert. This allows for a relatively
narrow creek corridor at the surface.
The aesth�tics of th�-new dayiigYrted creek will pro�ic�e a soft, green
environment that is pleasant to view and pass through year-round.
The new creek corridor will rovide aesthetic and recreational value that
P
supports parcel redevelopment adjacent to the creek.
The new creek corridor will be an identiry-giving element for the area.
Redevelopment adjacent to the creek should consist of entertainment-based
retail uses that take advantage of creek views/access.
[Reach 1A]
4. The design principals for the Ciry owned Center Brookdale Golf Course includes:
Creek aeration cobbles that will improve water quality and aquatic life.
Buffers will be widened along the creek to improve habitat, filter/remove
pollutants {i.e. sediment and nutrients) from stormwater runoff and reduce
stream bank erosion.
Adequate light for re-establishment of riparian vegetated buffers will be
provided by thinning existing dense tree canopies as needed.
Creek enhancements will not require significant alterations to the existing golf
course layout.
The Coun has ex ressed a willin ness to work with the Watershed Commission and fund
tY P g
the desi n of these develo ment lans. The im lementation element of the Framework
g P P P
Plan indicated that the County will partner with the City in soliciting grants to help fund the
construction and that they would complete construction documents and perform
construction.
Council Policv Issues:
Should the City Council adopt all or parts of the Shingle Creek Daylighting Framework
Work Plan as official City Policy?

SUBJECT: Foreclosure Strategy Step 4- Reinvestment Program Options
Recommendation:
Staff is seeking feedback from the City Council in regard to program options to address
reinvestment initiatives associated with the mortgage foreclosures and vacant properties in the
city.
Background A Four Step Foreclosure Strategy
As the city continues to make progress in Step 1. Data Collection

explanation of the program, criteria and guidelines
are provided in the Attachment.
Three basic program types are indicated- loan assistance, demolition of substandard properties,
and city-executed housing rehabilita.tion. Some common themes are reflected in the programs,
which also take into account Council goals, including:
1
Promote home ownership.
Promote re-investment in properties and the community, including home improvements.
Eliminate unsafe structures and public nuisances.
Apply income eligibility requirements due to funding source criteria.
Focus on mortgage foreclosed and vacant properties, linking these programs with the
Vacant Building Registration Program.
Budget Issues
Funding sources for these programs as laid out include Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funds and
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). Federal Neighborhood Stabilization Plan
(NSP) funding may be available for use through pass-through grants from Hennepin County and
the State of Minnesota. The amounts and use of these funds through the county and state have
not yet been determined. However, the stipulations of these funding sources have also been
considered as the program criteria were developed.
The TIF housing fund contains $3.2 million dollazs available for use for low to moderate income
and blighted housing initiatives. An additional $300,000 annually is anticipated through the life
of TIF I3istrict #3, which is scheduled to terminate April 19, 2021. The recommended plan
would be to allocate the funding as follows:
•$1 million dollars for the buyer incentive program for down payment and closing costs.
$600,000 for the demolition program.
$0 for the rehabilitation program.
At this point, staff recommends sparing use of the rehabilitation program since it
is more costly and time consuming. However, it is good to have this option
available if it could be an effective tool for a specific situation.
