She discussed the potential use of the homes and the benefits of selling the farm homes. She stated she spoke to a woman showing items from the Historical Society who indicated it would be wonderful if the Historical Society owned the farm homes. Mr. Boganey stated the budget shows an operating loss for the Inn on the Farm; however, the loss is exaggerated because the Business Unit does not take into account revenues generated from the Convention Center because of uses of the farm. He staxed meetings scheduled may overflow to the Inn and those revenues are not reflected in the Inn Business Unit. He explained that with the construction of the Embassy Suites Hotel, the City has been approached by the developers to use the D Barn (currently leased to two tenants) for a Day Spa. He stated leasing the space would result in the existing two tenants possibly using the farm homes in question. This discussion was continued at the Work Session.

Application Filed on 11-1-07 City Council Action Should Be Taken By 12-31-07 (60 Days) Planning Cominission Information Sheet Application No. 2007-017 Applicant: The Luther Companies Location: .4435 68th Avenue North Request: Special Use Permit The applicant, Linda McGinty on behalf of the Luther Companies, is requesting Special Use Permit approval for an off-site or remote pazking facility at 4435 68�' Avenue North for the storage of vehicle inventory related to the Luther car dealerships in the azea. The property in question is zoned G2 (Commerce) and is the former site of the Osseo Brooklyn School Bus Company that built, expanded and operated a school bus storage �'acility on this site since the early 1980's. The bus company provided bus service for the Osseo School District for a number of years, but no longer has the serviee contract with the school district and the facility has gone unused for some time. The Luther Companies have recently acquired the property and are proposing to utilize it in conjunction with their automobile dealership operations in this azea. Luther either owns or has the dealership rights for all of the caz dealership property on both sides of Brooklyn Boutevard, between. the Freeway and 69�' Avenue North. In addition, they have other auto dealerships along Brooklyn Boulevazd in the Brooklyn CenterBrooklyn Pazk area. entioned the ro in uestion is zoned C-2 Commerce) and is Iocated between 68�' As m p perty q Avenue North and Interstate 94. It is bounded on the west by the North Memorial Health Care Operational Center; on the north by 68�' Avenue with Health Partners, the US Post'Office and a Luther automobile dealership on the opposite side of the street; on the east by the Atlantis Pool building and the Luther Chevrolet site; and on the south by Interstate 94. The school bus garage facility was classified as a special use in this zoning district. The special use pertnit sought for the proposed off-site accessory parking is comprehended under Section 35-322, Subdivision 3k as accessory off-site parking not located on the same pmperty with the principal use, subject to the provisions of 35-701. The applicant's proposal is to utilize the old school bus storage facility and the existing black topped area for parking and storage of iriventory vehicles related to the Luther car dealerships. There is an existing fueting station on the site that will also be used for fueling their vehicles. The applicant has provided a written summary of their proposal and how it meets the standards for special. use permits contained in the zoning ordinance. It should be noted tha.t they aze not intending to do any vehicle repair on the site at this time and their written proposal has been modified to reflect this clarification. Again, only inventory velucle parking, storage and fueling will be co�ducted on the site. 11-15-07 Page 1 Off-site accessory parking is allowed by special use according to the requirements oudined in Section 35-701, Subdivision 3 of the zoning ordinance (attached). The off-site pazking must generally be on a property of comparable or more intense zoning (in tlus case, this site is zoned C-2 as aze the other dealerships in the area). Accessory off-stte parking is limited to one site per business. Currently they aze utilizing the old Ryan Olds site for interim storage of vehicles. It shauld be noted that the Luther Companies have the Brookdale Buick, Pontiac, GMC dealership at 6800 Brooklyn Boulevard; the Brookdale Honda dealership at 6801 Brooklyn Boulevazd and the Brookdale Chevrolet dealership at 6701 Brooklyn Boulevazd. It should be noted that the proposed off-site accessory parking is for inventory, not customers or employees. The distance from the fiuthest point of the accessory off-site lot to a principal lo# under Section 35-701 must not exceed 800 ft. I•n this ease, the off-site lot is adjacent to their Chevrolet operation. A minimum of 20 pa�king spaces must be provided on the off-site lot. Also in this case, there is room for well more than 20 vehicles given the inside storage that can be accommodaxed in the former school bus gazage facility which is approximately 34,000 sq. ft. and blacktop facilities that can accommodate well over 100 vehicles. Section 35-701, Subdivision 3 alsa requires that accessory off-site pazking be located such that pedestrian traffic will not be required to cross major thoroughfares and certain other designated streets. This limitation should not be a problern with respect to the inventory parking and fueling proposed. It is doubtful that pedestrian traffic wi11 utilize the oi� site accessory lot since no customers or employees will regularly travel to the off-site lot. Their proposal is similaz to an off-site accessory pazking special use permit that was granted to The Luther Companies for the use of the old bakery building that was located at 4.215 69�' Avenue North and was utiiized as such from t 989. That use was discontinued when the building was demolished and incorporafed into what is now the Brookdale Buick, Pontiac, GMC dealership at 6800 Brooklyn Boulevard. Interim accessory patking has beeri allowed also on the old Ryan Olds site and will be discontinued when the site has been redeveloped into a new dealership by The Luther Companies, hopefully in the relatively near future. No physical changes ar expansions aze proposed for the off-site accessory inventory lot and The Luther Companies will utilize it as it currently exists. SPECIAL USE PERMIT STANDARDS Accessory off-site parking lots are special uses and as such are required to meet the standards for special use permits contained in Section 35-220 of the city ordinances {attached). The applicant has submitted a written response to the special use permit standards (also,attached). The written comments basically address the standards for special use permits which require that the proposed special use promote and enha.nce the general public welfare and not be detrimental to or endanger the health and safety of the public; not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate neighborhood nor substantially diminish or impair properry values; not impede the normal and orderly development of surrounding properties; be designed so as to minimize traffic congestion on the public streets; and conform with the applicable regulations of the district in P�e2 which it is located. The applicant notes that the previous use of the site was the storage and repair of school buses and dispensing of fuel for those vehicles. They note that their current need is for storage and fueling of their vehicle inventory and the location of this on their site will enhance the flow of their operarion for local dealerships, and reduce congestion on their lots and create a use for a currently abandoned site. The applicant also notes that storing vehicles at this location will allow for safer and secure storage of inventory and will be compatible with adjacent uses such as vehicle sales; repair and ambulance storage which are located in the unmediate area. They note that property values will not diminish or be impaired because of their proposed use and their proposal is consistent with the previous use of the property. The applicant adds that the activity is essentially similar in nature to the previous use involving the storage and fueling of motor vehicle bLtses. They plan no changes to ingress or egress patterns and will utilize the parking spaces provided indoors and on the asphatt area only. Traffic congestion in the public street is not anticipated due to theu request. �'inally they note that their request will conform to the regulations of ttie district in which they are located. A public hearing has been scheduled and notices of the Planning Commission's consideraxion have been sent to surrounding property owners. I've received a phone ca11 from Mr. Scott Hubbazd of Atlantis Pools in response to the notice for public hearing. He does not object to the proposed use and has indicated that it will be good to have the former school bus site in use. RECOMMENDATION, Approval of this application is recommended subject to the following conditions. 1. A special use permit is granted for off-site accessory pazking, stora.ge of vehicle inventory and velucle fueling associated with the Luther automobile dealerships in the immediate area.. No sales or servicing of velucles, other than fueling, is permitted on this off-site lot at 4435 68�' Avenue North. r 2. All vehicle parking and storage shall be confined to the building on the premises or improved asphalt azeas on the site. 3. The special use pernut is subject to all applicable codes, ordinances, andxegulations. Any violation, thereof, may be grounds for revocation. 4. The appiicant shall apply for and be issued a Certificate of Occupancy and be required to comply with any applicable buildi.ng code regulations as approved by the Building Official.

The previous use of this site was the storage and repair of school buses and dispensing of fuel for those vehicles. Our current need is for the storage� and fueling of our vehicle inventory including cars, trucks and SUV's. The previously mentioned uses at this location wil! enhance the flow of operation for our loca! dealerships, reduce congestion on their lots and create use at a currenfily abandor�ed site. 2, The s�eciaf use will not be in�urious to the use and eniovment of other pro�ertv in the immediate vicinity for the ournoses alreadv �ermitted. nor substantially diminish and i�noair nro�ertv values within the neiahborhood.

Background: Kimberley Meyer served on the Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council Advisory Commission from October 23, 2006, through October 31, 2007.

RESOLUTION EXPRESSING RECOGNITION AND APPRECIATION OF KIMBERLEY MEYER FOR HER PUBLIC SERVICE ON THE NORTHWEST HENNEPIN HUMAN SERVICES COUNCIL ADVISORY COMMISSION WHEREAS, Kimberley Meyer has represented the human services needs of the citizens of Brooklyn Center as a member of the Northwest Hennepin Huma.n Services Council Advisory Commission from October 23, 2006, through October 31, 2007; and WHEREAS, Kimberley Meyer has supported the mission ofthe Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council, which includes identifying, educating, and communicating the human services needs, resources, programs, and initiatives and identifying the individuals, groups, or organizaxions within Brooklyn Center that could partner in addressing the identified needs; and WHEREAS, her public service and civic effort for the betterment of the community merit the gratitude of the citizens of Brooklyn Center; and WHEREAS, it is highly ap�ropriate that her service to the community should be recognized and expressed. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, that Kimberley Meyer is hereby recognized and appreciated by the City of Brooklyn Center, and this resolution.serves as a visible and lasting expressing of gratitude for the leadership and service he has renderedto the citizens of Brooklyn Center. November 26, 2007 Date Mayor ATTEST: City Clerk The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: and the following voted against the same: whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted. ��r�� +��L.�� rr i.: a i �City of Brooklyn Center TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager FROM: Daniel Jordet, Director of Fiscal Support Services DATE: 20 November 2007 SUB7ECT: Utility Rates for 2008 Recommendation: Following the 20 October 2007 and 19 November 2007 reviews of the Utility Funds and the rates required to meet the objectives of the 2008 Budget it is recommended that the attached resolutions be adopted establishing utility rates for the 2008 fiscal year. Background: In order to continue to operate the Water Utility with the appropriate amount of cash reserve and to provide funds over the next fifteen years to complete the projected capital repair and maintenance to the water system, and increase of 4.75% is required in water rates for 2008. This is lower than the 7.�5% required for 2007. This includes building a debt payment structure for a possible installation of automated water meter reading system equipment and software in the next two years. The base rate for water will rise from 1.19 per 1,000 gallons to 1.25 per 1,000 gallons. A household using 10,000 gallons of water per month will pay an additional $.60 per month. The Sanitary Sewer Utility will require a 2.50% increase in the basic rate to fund its share of capital improvements and continue its operations. Because sanitary sewer is charged to households at a flat rate a household will pay an additional $.51 per month for sewer service. Bas�c rate for Storm Sewer Utility operations and capital repairs and maintenance will have to increase 7.00% for 2008. Rate increases for storm sewer projects will be in the 6.00% to 7.00% range for the next five years before stabilizing in 2013 for the remainder of the projected 10 years of operations and capital projects. Under this proposal the residential charge for storm water wifl increase .30 per month. Streetlight Utility rates will increase 5.00% if the recommended rate is adopted. Projected cost increases for electricity will absorb the entire amount of this increase. A residential customer will pay an additional $.05 per month under this proposaL It is estimated that Recycling Utility costs will increase in 2008 after remaining level for 2007. A 5.00% increase in the recycling rate will mean an additional $.07 per month per residential customer. Budget Issues: The rates suggested in the narrative above and in the attached resolutions will provide adequate income and cash flow to achieve the goals of the utility operations and the capitai replacement and improvement programs detailed in the Capital Improvement Plan.

A i .t'. y v E i ;..i :t y y i :i ,.w y v G. r y �r a :i .i, a ;t t November 26, 2007 Mr. Mayor and City Council, About a year ago we discussed making crime reduction a priority. As of today we still do not have a comprehensive crime reduction strategy for our city. I think we need to make crime reduction a top priority going into 2008 and identify proven solutions that make up a city wide comprehensive strategy including those offered by the police department. Recall that in July I reported our crime ranking based on BCA uniform crime reporting data. (see graph) The message was clear, variation in rankings is the result of local issues which can only be addressed with local solutions and leadership. As we all know, the reasons for crime are multiple and complex. One major factor differentiating city crime rankings is the concentration of criminals residing in a city. (see graph} Contrast this with other theories about the concentration of young people being a major factor of crime. (see graph) So one obvious question is how can we create a city reputation that makes clear criminals are not welcamed or at least make it less hospitable for them. Some cities adopt a gentrification strategy for purposes of pricing criminals out of the city. However this unfairly burdens responsible residents with limited resources. Another option is to hold licensed rental property owners accountable for crime associated with their business such as we are currently daing with Center Point. Or it could be a mix of these strategies. The options available to a city for proactive crime reduction are few. BC has had proven success with adopting 12-913 in 2003. Most multi unit rental businesses have responded in a very positive and responsible manner. It is time that we reanalyze the .65 call for service threshold, for purpose of lowering it in support of continuous improvement. I also suggest we direct staff to prepare a resolution extending this ordinance to cover all rental licenses as part of our comprehensive crime reduction strategy. This is only one possible eomponent of a comprehensive crime reduction strategy. It may be worthwhile for the city manager to facilitate a dedicated work session on this topic with department leaders ta explare other city wide strategies for reducing crime. Discussion and other suggestions are welcomed.

BACKGROUND Currently the City of Brooklyn Center has two voting members on the Board of Directors of VMN. They are Myrna Kragness the City appointee and Judith Bergeland, representing the Earle Brown Herita.ge Center. Beginning in January, the EBHC will no longer have a voting membership on the Board, but may be elected by the Board as a non-voting ex-officio member. Apparently, the City appointee has no term limit and serves at the pleasure of the City Council. So the City ma.y appoint, reappoint or allow or representative to continue to serve until they choose to resign. The City may also nominate others to serve as elected members on the Board as well. COUNCIL POLICY �SSUES The question before the Council is how does the City wish to proceed with representation on the VMN board of directors in 2008 and future years? worksession.112607.vmn.doc 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Recreation and Community Center Pltone TDD Number Brooklyn Center, MN 55430-2199 (763) 569-3400 City Hall TDD Number (763) 569-3300 FAX (763) 569-3434 FAX (763) 569-3494 www. cityo fbrooklyncenter. org BY-LAWS of Visit Minneapolis North AR1'IGLE I OFFICE The principal and registered office of the Corporation shall be located within one of the cities whose lodging ta�t funds are administered by this Corparation.

BACKGROUND Enclosed is an e-mail and information sent to Mayor Willson regarding the planned AFRIFEST 2008. 3im Glasoe has provided a preliminary assessment of Brooklyn Center's ability to serve as the venue for this event. Based on this initial analysis it is recommendation that we decline this opportunity unless the facts are different than way they have been described to us.

Afrifest is an annual African Summer Festival held in the Twin Cities Area. The goal of Afrifest is to bring together African, American and International vendors, musicians, entertainers and cultural performers to educate, showcase and enlighten diverse audiences and cultures. 2007 was the first year of the festival and events included Club Afrika, (grand opening event) Taste of Africa, Pan African Historical Display, Community Mural, Fashion Show and World Stage Concerts. The events drew an estimated 1,500 2,000 participants, despite the fact that many events were scaled back andlor cancelled as a result of record rainfall and severe weather. For 2008, the promoters are looking to host a similar slate of events. With attendance estimates of 1,000 to 5,000 participants, the promoters indicate that the successful host city will have a suitable park space that can handle up to 5,000 paying attendees and indoor venues that can be used as weather back up. In reviewing the promoter's requirements, it does not appear that Brooklyn Center has the facilities to successfully host these events. While the City maintains a number of parks, the Earle Brown Heritage Center and other amenities, we do not have any areas that could safely accommodate 5,000 people and provide adequate parking. Central Park might be an option if the attendance numbers were in the 1,000-2,000 range. I have consulted with Chief Bechthold, and he concurs that we do not have an area large enough to host an event of this dimension. Additionaliy, as required by the promoters, Brooklyn Center does not have an indoor facility large enough to host some of the events, should bad weather occur. The Earle Brown Heritage Center could accommodate as many as 500 to 800 people for any single event, but does not have the capacity to host even the lowest anticipated attendance figures for some of the larger events. and Communit Center Phone TDD Number 6301 Shin Ze Creek Parkwa Recreation y g Y Brooklyn Center, MN 55430-2199 (763) 569-3400 City Hadl TDD Number (763) 569-3300 FAX (�63) 569-3434 FAX (763) 569-3494 wwr,�. cityofbrooklyncenter.org i Curt Bo ane From: Tim Willson Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2�7 11:42 AM To: Curt Boganey Subject: F1N: Afrifest 2008 Praposal Attachments: Afrtifest Preliminary Pnopvsal-2008.dx; AfFifest 2007 Final Report.doc Im rtance: High Curt, Quick login and fonnrard of this email to you.
