COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM
T0: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Ronald A. Warren, Planning and Zoning Speciar'lis��
DATE: November 7, 2007
SUBjECT: An Ordinance Asnending Chapter 35 of the City Code af Ordinances
Regarding Altemative Learning Centers
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council, consider a first reading on An Ord�inance
Amending Chapter 35 of the City Code of Ordinances Regarding Alternative Learning
Centers, which has been recornmended by the Planning Commission.
Background:
On October 8, 2007 the City Council, following discussion, tabled consideration of a
Planning Commission recommended ordinance amendment that would allow Alternative
Learning Centers (ALC) in the Carnmercial (C1, C2 and CC Overlay) and Industrial Park (I1)
zoning districts.
The Council raised various questions and/or concerns relating to this matter and laid over
consideration of the first reading of the ordinance amendmen� My understanding is that
the Council's concerns were with three general areas:
The School District's awarenes� of the fact that the I1 zoning district allows adult
uses as permitted uses and that the location of an Alternative Learning Center may
be adversely impacted by what might be considered undesirable uses that could
locate close to the Alternative Learning Center. Concern was expressed that the
School District might want to be able to move if such uses were to locate close to
them in the same building. This has been conveyed to Superintendent Lester and it
has been suggested that they be aware of this fact and perhaps may wish to address
this issue in their negotiation of a lease.
Concern was also expressed about the nature of the eligible pupils for Alternative
Learning Centers contained in Minnesota Statute 124D.68 which is cited in the
definition and whether it would be appropriate that facilities for such students be
located in the commercial or industrial districts.
i
Another concern is with the fact that an Alternative Learning Center could be
located within any community that is a part of Intermediate School District 287.
Perhaps our Commercial and Industrial zoning districts would become inundated,
or over concentrated, with Alternative Learning Centers from many other
communities to the detriment of Brooklyn Center.
The Planning Commission's concentration in making their recommendation to the City
Council was based on zoning regulations and criteria. The listing of eligibie pupils in the
ordinance amendment may seem to imply that they are undesirable students. This has
little to do with zoning implications. These are the criteria established by the State of
Minnesota for determining students that are eligible for these programs. The City has little
influence over this matter and whether or not this is cited in the ordinance amendment will
not change the eligibility of students for the Alternative Learning Center or graduatian
program.
If the City Council believes that it is inappropriate to have an Alternative Learning Center in
our Commercial or Industrial zoning districts, it should not feel compelled to do so only
because the School District has requested it There should be a zoning basis for such
consideration. The City Council has already established the inappropriateness of locating
public and private K-12 education in these zoning districts. The Planning Commission
reviewed and betieved that Alternative Learning Centers were similar to post secondary
education, trade schools, and similar uses, thus, they recommended allowing them in the
same z�ning districts as those uses. Alternative Learning Centers will continue to be
allowable uses in our R1, R2 and RS zoning districts as special uses. The eligibility for
students to participate in an Alternative Learning Center, or graduation incentive program,
is going to be the same whether or not the C�uncil adopts the recommended ordinance
amendment
The Alternative Learning Center program is a voluntary program and students must meet
certain criteria and standards in order to stay in the program and progress in that program.
It should be stressed that it is not a det�ntion facility for probiem students but rather a
program designed to encourage the completion of a course �f study leading to a diploma
for students who may not otherwise function well in the traditional educational system.
As far as an overconcentration of ALC's in our Comrnercial and Industrial zoning districts, it
is possible that this could happen. The likelihood is not high given the fact that a number of
other cities allow Alternative Learning Centers in such zoning districts. It was pointed out
to the Planning Commission also that zoning decisions should not be made on the basis of
one school district An Alternative Learning Center, regardless of the school district, would
be allowed in these zoning districts if the amendment is adopted. This would include
private as well as public Alternative Learnf ng Centers if such exist If an Alternative
Learning Center meets the definition of a non-traditional 5tate approved Alternative
of 15 and 21 ears that meet the
r f r dents behnreen the a es
Learnin
Cente facili o stu
Y
g t3'
criteria established in MS124D.68, they would be allowed as proposed in the ordinance.
Aga3n, the rabonale for this recommendahon is based on the fact that these Alternatave
Learning Centers seem to be more like post secondary education, trade schools, and other
similar educational uses as opposed to tradidonal K-12 educational uses.
As mentioned, Superintendent Lester will be at the November 13, 2007 City Council
meeting to clarify concerns the Council may have regarding.Alternative Learning Centers.
Budget lssues: There are no budget issues.

apinian cherte� schools are private el�tary or socondary+ schools and should not be

secondmy or trade schools by dcfinition whea detamining whcre i�ey shwitd be located vnder
the �sc classification in the city ordinanets. In that aray, Alternaxive Lcarniag Centcrs could be

Currendy 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 Heritage Center.
Beginning in January, the EBHC will no longer have a voting membership an 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 tb:e City
may appoint, reappoint or allow ar representative to continue to serve until they choose to
resign.
The City may also nominate others to serve as elected members on the Board $s well.
COUNCIL POLICY ISSUES
The question before the Council is how dces the City wish to procced with representation
on the VMN boazd of direetors in 2008 aad future years?

COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Kelli Wick, Human Resources Director
DATE: December 4, 2007
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION SETTING SALARIES FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2008
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the resolurion setting salaries for calendar year
2008.
Background:
SecNon 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 em lo ees encom ass the vast ma'ori of ublic works and olice de artment
P Y P l h' P F P
employees. Salaries and wages for these employees are established through the collective
bargaining process. We will be negotiating with LELS Local 86 (Sergeants and Lieutenants) for
the year 2008. Both LELS Local 82 (Police Officers) and IUOE 49 (Public Works Maintenance)
settled their previous contracts through 2008 for 3.25%.
The action before you relates to the wages and salaries of the eighty-three �83) 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 we expect that the average salary
increase in the comparison cities will be 3.04%
Budget Issues:
The proposed budget will support the proposed 3% pay plan adjustment provided by the
resolution.
Member introduced the following resolution and moved its
adoption:
RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION SETTING SALARIES FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2008
WHEREAS, Section 2.07 of the City Charter for the City of Braoklyn Center requires
that the City Council shall fix the salary of all officers and employees of the City; and
WHEREAS, the 1984 Pay Equity Act as adopted and amended by the Legislature
requires every political subdivision of the State of Minnesota to establish "equitable cornpensation
relationships" between its employees; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the 2008 Full-time Employee Pay Plan;
and
WHEREAS, an individua.l employee's movement through their respective pay
schedule reflects a progression in corresponding levels or improved job performance; and
NQW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center that it hereby sets wages, salaries for the calendar year 2008 by adoption of the
attached Pay Plan and allows the City Manager to set appropriate increases to the part-time schedule

conditions of employment or entitlement to any given level of compensation far any ernployee or
group of employees; that the Pay Plan shall be subject to continuing review and reconsideration and
may be amended. from tirne to time by the City Council; and

COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Todd Blomstrom, Director of Public Works
DATE: December 4, 2007
SUBJECT: Resolution Establishing the Interest Rate for 2008 Speciai Assessments
Recommendallon:
Public Works staff recommends that the Brooklyn Center City Council consider the attached resolution
establishing the 200$ interest rate for special assessments at 6.0 percent.
Background:
Each yeaz the City Council sets an interest rate for special assessments levied against property based
on the City's Special Assessment and Internal Loan Interest Rate Policy. The objective ofthis policy
is to establish an equitable interest rate that will not unfairly burden the property owner, but also
recover the cost of borrowing from outside sources, recover the cost of administering the special
assessments, and protect the City from the possibility that special assessment prepayments might
impair the City's ability to service the bonds.
City Council policy has been to establish the special assessment interest rate by calculating the sum
of the interest rate for the most recent general obligation bond, adding two (2) percent to cover the
overhead costs described above, and rounding to the nearest one-half percent in accordance with the
Interest Rate Policy. The most recent bond sale by the City of Brooklyn Center was Series 2006A
General Obligation Improvement Bonds at 3.78 percent. By applying the bond interest rate to the
City Council policy, the resulting special assessment interest rate is 6.0 percent for 2008.
Budget Issues:
The proposed interest rate would apply to special assessments levied in 2008.

2008 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
PROFILE
The 2008 Capital Improvement Progra,m (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-yeaz horizon of the CIP provides the City with an opportunity to evaluate project priorities annually
and to adjust the timing, scope and eost 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.
A capital impmvement is defined as a major non-recwring expenditure related to the City's physical facilides
and gcounds. The 2008-2022 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 proprietary funds. Typical expenditures include the cost to construct roads, utilities, parks, or
municipal structures.
The CIP is predicated on the goals and policies established 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 Capital Improvement Program proposes capital expenditures totaling $88 million over the next 15 years
for basic impmvements to the City's streets, parks, and public utilities. A brief description of the three
functional areas is provided below.
Public Utilities
The City operates five utility systems, four of which have projects included in the CIP water, sanitary sewer,
storm drainage, and str�t lighting. A vast majority of the public utility improvements are constructed in
conjunction with street reconst�uction projects. The remaining portion of public utilities projects include
improvements to water supply wells, water towers, lift stations and force mains.
Street Iniprovements
Street improvements include reconstruction of neighborhood streets and reconstruction of arterial and collector
streets. Proposed improvements include the installation or reconstruction of curb and gutter along public
roadways. As note� earlier, street improvements a,re often accompanied by replacement of public utilities.
Park Improvements
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.
CIP (2008 2022)
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 [Itilety Funds
Customers are billed for services provided by the City's water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and street lighting
public utilities. Fees charged to customers are based on operating requirements and capital needs to ensure that
equipment and facilities aze 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.
Capita! Improvements Fund
This fund is comprised of transfers from the General Fund, repayment of debt from the Golf Course operating
fund, and transfers from liquor operations. Typically the City Council has directed these funds towards
municipal facilities such as parks, trails, public buildings and other general purpose needs.
Special Assessment Collections
Properties benefiting from stre�et impmvements are assessed a portion of the project costs in accordance with
the City's Special Assessment Policy. Every year the City Couacil 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 Recanst�uction Fund is currently one
of the main limiting factors in determining the rate at which future street and utility improvements can be
accomplished.
Municipal State Aid (MSA) Fund
State-shared gas taxes provide funding for street improvements and related costs for those roadways idenrified
as MSA streets. The City has 21 miles of roadway identified as MSA streets and is therefore eligible to
receive funding based on this desigttation. The annual amount available is approximately $750,000 and
provides for maintenance and construction activities within the City's MSA street system.

Maranatha Neighborhood Improvements
The Maranatha Neighborhood Improvement Proj ect area
is bounded by the western city limits, Noble Avenue on
the east, Interstate 94 on the south and 69'� Avenue on
the north. The total project length is 14,341 feet. The
neighborhood consists of approximately 225 residential
zoned properties.
Streets
A majority of the sxreets in the Maranatha Neighborhood
are currently 30 feet wide with no curb and gutter.
Pavement was originally installed between 1954 and
1960. The street pavement is deteriorated throughout
most of the neighborhood due to the age of the pavement and inadequate drainage in most areas.
Proposed street ix�rovements consist of the reconstivction of the street subgrade, installation of curb and
gutter to improve drainage and placement of bituminous street pavement.
Water main
The water main in the Maranatha project area consists of 6-inch and 8-inch diameter cast iron pipe
installed between 1956 and 1974. Scott Avenue and portions of 67'� Avenue contain 12-inch ductile iron
pipe installed in 1974. Lee, Major and 70�' Avenue contain 6" ductile iron pipe installed in 1985. Water
records indicate that four main breaks have occurred within the neighborhood Minor water quality
problems have also been reported by r�idents. Proposed water main improvements include replacement
of 6 and 8-inch diameter water mains and services in the project area south of 69�' Avenue. Replacement
of water main along 69 Avenue, Scott Avenue and the crossings under Interstate �4 are not included
within the scope of this project.
Sanitary Sewer
The sanitary sewer within the neighborhood consists of 8-inch diameter vitrified clay pipe installed
between 1956 and 1966. A majority of the sewer is subjected to frequent problems with root intrusion.
Root sawing must be performed on an annual basis to maintain the system conveyance capacity.
Replacement of sanitary sewer pipes and access structures is also proposed as part of the project.
Storm Sewer
An expansion of the storm drainage system within the project area is necessary to reduce local flooding
and preserve street pavement. Storm water runoff from the westem portion of the neighborhood currently
drains overland to a corrugated metal pipe storm sewer along 68'� Avenue eventually discharging into
Toledo Avenue in Brooklyn Park. Runoff &om the western portion of the �roject azea drains to one sma11
diameter storm sewer system at the intersection of Orchard Avenue and 68 Avenue.
Proposed storm sewer improvements include replacement of the undersized storm main along the
eastern boundary of the project, replacement of all corrugated metal storm sewer pipe and expansion of
lateral storm sewer pipes to collect runoff from each street within the neighborhood. Prelixninary project
design should also include the evaluation of installing in-line water quality treatment devices to paitially
treat storm water runoff prior to discharging from the neighborhood.

residential properties.
A
Streets
The majority of the streets in the project area were originally
constructed in 1968 through 1969. Existing streets aze
generally 30 feet wide with no curb and gutter. The street
pavement is deteriorated throughout most of the neighborhood
due to the age of the pavement and inadequate drainage.
Proposed street improvetnents 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
for the existing water system in the neighborhood to determine the extent of corrosion. Water records
indicate one main 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 azeas of conosion or as necessary to allow for
the replacement of sanitary sewer and trunk storm sewer within the neighborhood.
Sanitary Sewer
The existing sanitary sewer consists of 8-inch diameter vitrified clay pipe lateral sewers along local
streets and a 12-inch diameter reinforced concrete trunk sewer along the Xcel easement between 57`�
Avenue and 58�` Avenue. These sewers were originally installed between 1959 and 1962.
Approximately 75 pexcent of the sanitary sewer is subjected to pmblems with root intrusion. Root sawing
must be performed on an annual basis to ma.intain 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 agproximately 50 percent of the 8-inch diameter sanitary sewer. The sanitary
sewer located along Carnden Avenue must 1� lowered to facilitate the installation of a new tiunk 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
atong 59�' Avenue and along the west side of Inteistate 94. These trunk storm sewers, installed in 1952,
are under-sized and do not provide sufficient capacity to convey storm water runoff through the
neighborhood and under Interstate 94. The installation of new trunk storna sewers along Camden Avenue,
59 Avenue anci 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 treatment devises. A detailed description of the
proposed storm drainage irnprovements are further described in a feasibility report titled "59�' Avenue

Storm Water Improvements
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 sednnents that have accumulated from the upstream
watershed. Water quality sampling conducted in 2003 indicated that the average total
phosphorous concentrations double between the inlet and outlet of the wetland. Wetland
639W contributes an estimated 730 pounds of total phosphorous per yeaz into Upper
'I�vin Lake and neazly half of this is in readily available dissolve� 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 andlor implementing
active treatment methods. This large wetland complex is lvcated adjacent to the Crystal
Airport. Three alternatives for achieving this ha.ve been proposed in past shxdies: 1.)
partial diversion of flow around the wetland; 2.) dechannelization and increased stora.ge
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 Bmoklyn 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 Bssins
In 2005, the City of Brooklyn Center hired the consulting firm of Bonestroo Rosene
Anderlik Associates to conduct a condition assessment of 30 storm water management
ponds loca.ted throughout the City. The assessment process resulted in a list of
improvements to address problems with shoreline erosion, sediment accumuladon, inlet
and outlet blockages and other miscellaneous maintenance issues. Below is a description
of the projects that were not considered routine annual maintenance work normally
addressed as part of the annual operating budget for the Storm Drainage Utility.
Storm Water Pond 12-002
Pond 12-002 is located within the west central portion of the golf course. The basin
receives runoff from approxunately 4UQ acres within the southwest portion of the City.
Pond deficiencies noted during the inspection include, shoreline erosion along the eastern
portion of the pond; aa erosion channel that has cut through the berm separating pond 12-
002 from pond 12-003; and a large volume of accumulate�i sediments within the pond.
Stor�n Drainage Project Summaries
2008 CIP
Pmposeci improvements consist of repairing erosion areas and removal of a portion of the
accumulated sediment.
Storm Water Pond 12-003
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 avera.ge of one foot of sediment in the trench
and three feet of sediment near the weir outlet. Proposed improvements consist of
repairing erosion areas, removal of sadiment from the headwall trench and near the
outlets of the headwall structure.
Storm Water Pond 12-004
Pond 12-004 is located within #he northern portion of the golf course. The basin receives
runoi� frorn 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-(�1 is located northwest of Northport Park. The pond receives runoff from
approximately 120 acres of upstream drainage area.. Tlus basin has filled with an
extensive amount of sediment over the past 40 to 50 yeazs. 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 projeet consists of excavating sediment from the hasin to restore the flow
capacity through the wetland and restore a wet pool volume with an average depth of 2 to
w e restored with native
3 feet in the central part of the wetland. Fnnge areas ould b
wetland species.
Storm 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 Pazk and approximately 50 acres located north of Interstate 94/694. The
pond is was originally design as a detention basin without wet volume to provide
additional water quality benefit. The pmposed improveznents 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 Cahl�der Park. The pond receives runoff from
approximately 230 acres of upstream residential development. Due to the large
watershed to pond azea 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.
Storm Water Pond 60-001
Pond 6(}-001 is located west of Xerxes Avenue and south of Brooklyn Drive within
Central Park. The pond receives runoff from approximately 85 acres of upstream
residential development This pond was constructed in 2403. By 2013, preliminary
estimates indicate that approximately 30 to 40 percent of the wet volume will be lost due
to sediment accumulation. The pmposed work consists of removal of sediment and
installation of a skimmer structure to enhance the water quality treatment performance of
the pond.

MisceUaneous Water Msin and Sanitary Sewer Improvements
Lift Station No. 2 Force Main
Lift Station No. 2, located along Lyndale Avenue, receives wastewater flow from a service area of
approximately 1,680 acres or approximately 30 percent of the city. Wastewater is then pumped into
a force main that conveys the flow south from the lift station to a point approximately 700 feet south
of 53`� Avenue in Minneapolis. The force main then crosses under Interstate Highway 94 and
discharges to a Metropolitan Council Enviromnental Services (MCES) intercepwr locate�l on the
west side of Interstate Highway 94.
The portion of the force main extending from the lift station to the highway crossing was originally
installed in 1959. The force main crossing under the highway was replaced around 1980 during
expansion of Interstate 94. As-Built record plans for the newer segment of force main under the
highway are not available in the City's engineering records. Sewer utility staff members have
indicated that this segment of force main was constructed with ductile iron pipe.
Significant leakage or breakage of the force main along the Mississippi River poses risk of
environmental impacts to surrounding surface waters. Wastewater discharged from a bx�eak of this
force main would be released directly into the Mississippi River. Emergency by-pass pumping
would be very difficult to implement. The installation of temporary piping or hoses from the lift
station, across the 53� Avenue Bridge, to the downstream MCES interceptor would require several
hours to implement in order to by-pass the existing force main.
The proposed force main replacement project would consist of constructing approximately 2000 feet
of 16-inch diameter ductile iron force main para11e1 to the e�sting force main alignment. The
feasibility study for the project should investigate the possibility of maintaining the existing force
main for use as an emergency by-pass line. Replacement of the force main will require coordination
with the City of Minneapolis, the Minnesota Department of Transportation, and Three Rivers Park
District.
Emergency Bypass for Lift Stat�on 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 Raikoad
tracks to a Metropolitan Council Environmental,Services (MCES) interceptor extending along 50'�
Avenue North.
Prior to the Trunk Highway 100 improvements at the Fra.nce 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 50�' Avenue. During the TH 100 pmject, this casing was
reinoved 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 rime
consuming now that a casing under the raikoad tracks is not 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.
i
Misc. Water aad Sewer Project Suranrary
2008 CIP
The proposed project consists of installing a new 10-inch diameter casing under the raikoad tracks by
horizantal directional drilling methods. Access structures would also be placad at both the north end
and south end of the casing to allow access for installation of a temporary bypass hose.
Centerbrook Golf Covrse Water Main Improvements

paint coating improvements consist of complete replacement of the interior and exterior paint
coatings.
Water Tower No. 3 Painting
The 1.5 million gallon elevated storage tank located within the Centerbrook Golf Course was last
painted in 1998 with completed interior reconditioning and exterior spot repairs. Exterior spot
repairs were also completed on the fluted colurnn in 2005 as part of an exterior pressure washing

SUB]ECT: Request for Proposals (RFP) for Audit Services
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council review and, if necessary, modify the
attached dacument requesting proposals for audit services. Approval of the
document as presented or modified is requested so that it may be distributed to
audit firms wishing to make proposals,
Background:
Requirements for obtaining audit services for the City financial reports are found
in Section 2.80 of the City Council Code of Policies. It states that
"[s]pecifications tailored to the professional service...will be prepared by Staff,
reviewed by the Financial Commission, and approved by the City Council." The
attached Request for Proposals lays out the specifications for an auditor. The
document was prepared by me, will be reviewed by the Financial Commission on
Thursday evening, 6 December 2007, and is being passed pn for consideration
by the City Council at its 10 December 2007 regular meeting.
The term of an agreement for the firm chosen in this process will be six years;
three at a price to be established immediately and three negotiated following the
initial commitment. At the expiration of that six year period another RPF will be
written and the process will again be opened to multiple auditing firms. The
current incumbent, HLB Tautges Redpath, was the successful proposer in the last
round of proposals through this process.
Proposals will be due in the Finance Department by 4:00 on Thursday, 27
December 2007. As specified
in the Code of Poiicies the initial review of
proposals will be done by staff. The proposals meeting requirements for
consideration will then be considered by a committee of City Council members,
Financial Commission members, the City Manager, and the Finance Director.
From that committee review, which may include interviews with some proposers,
a recommendation will be made to the City Council for adoption of a muiti-year
engagement with the recommended firm.
In addition, a two page document titled "Audit Pracurement' is attached. This
document is part of the Government Fnance Officers Association collection of
f r focal over�nments. The document makes several
mended Practices o
Recom 9
recommendations for the procurement of auditing services, many of which have
been included in Brookfyn Center's RFP document.
Financial Impact:
Audit costs have averaged about 42,500 over the past three years. The 2008
budget for audit services is 43,775. It is expected that proposals submitted
through this process will allow us to maintain or reduce costs for the 2008 audit.
GFOA Recommended Practice
I
Audit Procurement �(1996 and 2002�
Back�round. The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) has long recommended
that state and local governmental entities obta.in independent audits of their financial statements
performed in accordance with the appropriate professional auditing standards. Properly
performed audits play a vital role in the public sector by helping to preserve the integrity of the
public finance functions and by maintaining citizens' confidence in their elected leaders.
Recommendation. GFOA makes the following recommendations regarding the selection of
auditing services:
The scope of the independent audit should encompass not only the fair presentation of the
basic financial statements, but also the fair presentation of the financial statements of
individual funds and component units. The cost of extending full audit coverage to the
financial statements of individual funds and cornponent units can be justified by the
additional degree of assurance provided. Nevertheless, the selection of the appropriate scope
of the independent audit ultimately remains a matter of professional judgment. Accordingly,
those responsible for securing independent audits should make their decision concerning the
appropriate scope of the audit engagement based upon their particular government's specific
needs and circumstances, consistent with applicable legal requirements.
Governmental entities should require in their audit contracts that the auditors of their
financial statements conform to the independence standard promulgated in- the General
Accounting Office's Government Auditing Standards even for audit engagements that are not
otherwise subject to generally accepted government auditing standards.
Governmental entities should enter into multiyear agreements of at least five years in
duration when obtainin the services of inde ndent auditors. Such multiyear agreements can
g Pe
take a variety of different forms (e.g., a series of single-year contracts), consistent with
applicable legal requirements. Such agreements allow for greater continuity and help to
minimize the tential for disru tion in connection with the inde endent audit. Multiyear
P�
P P
agreements can also help to reduce audit costs by aUowing auditors to recover certain "start-
up" costs over several years, rather than over a single year.
Governrnentai endties should undertake a full-scale competitive process for the selection of
independent auditors at the end of the term of each audit contract, consistent with applicable
legal requirements. Ideally, auditor independence would be enhanced by a policy requiring
that the independent auditor be replaced at the end of the audit contract, as is often the case in
the private sector. Unfortunately, the frequent lack of competition among audit firms fully
qualified to perform publio-sector audits could make a policy of mandatory auditor rotation
counterproductive. In such cases, it is recommended that a governmental entity actively seek
the participation of all qualified firms, including the current auditors, assuming that the pasf
performance of the current auditors has proven satisfactory. Except in cases where a
multiyear agreement has taken the form of a series of single-year contracts a contractual
provision for the automatic renewal of the audit contract (e.g., an automatic second term for
the auditor upon satisfactary performance) is inconsistent with this recommendation.
Professional standards allow independent auditors to perform certain types of nonaudit
services for their audit clients. Any significant nonaudit services should always be approved
in advance by a governmental entity's audit committee. Furthermore, goveinmental entities
should routinely explore the possibility of alternative service providers before making a
decision to engage their independent auditors to perform significant nonaudit services.
The audit procurement process should be structured so that the principal factor in the
selection of an independent auditor is the auditor's ability to perform a quality audit. In no
case should price be allowed to serve as the sole criterion for the selection of an independent
auditor.

ORDER

from the effective date of revocation.
2. This revocation applies to all parts of the Center Pointe rental apartment complex.
3. Revocation shall be effective commencing on
4. The City Clerk is directed to mail a copy of this Resolution to the licensee.
5. The licensee is advised that Brooklyn Center City Code, Section 12-910, paragraph 9
prohibits the reletting or occupancy of rental units that become vacant from the effective
date of revocation until a new license is issued.
6. The licensee is further advised that Brooklyn Center City Code, Section 12-910, paragraph
10 also provides that revocation shall not excuse the owner from compliance with all terms
of state law and codes and the City Code of Ordinances for as long as any units in the
facility are occupied. Failure to comply with all terms of City Code Chapter 12 during the
term of the revocation is a misdemeanor and grounds for extension of the term of revocation
or for a decision not to reinstate the license.
The following MEMORANDUM is made a part of these Findings of Fact and Order.
i
RESOLUTION NO.
MEMORANDUM
Introduction
Chapter 12 of the Brooklyn Center City Code is intended to require that rental housing in the City is
decent, safe and sanitary for the residents of the dwelling units and that the presence of the rental
dwelling business does not become a nuisance or a blight on the community.
The evidence presented at the hearing demonstrated a year-long pattern of neglect of the licensee's
duties and responsibilities under the law and of disregard for the health and safety of residents of
Center Pointe. The result of this neglect is that the residents of the 252 units of Center Pointe have
lived in squalid, unsanitary, and unsafe housing.
The evidence showed overwhelmingly that the Center Pointe Apartments have been in a deplorable
state of neglect and disrepair. Although the licensee objected on various grounds to the introduction
of evidence of its violations and evidence of the state of the apartment complex, no evidence was
presented to demonstrate that any of the evidence of violations was inaccurate.
Sufficiencv of Notice
Respondent complamed that it had not had adequate notice of the grounds for proposed license
revocation or suspension as required by Code Section 12-910, p. 7. Section 12-914, paragraph 4
provides that licenses may be revoked or suspended for any one of a number of grounds, which are
generally comprised of failure to comply with the requirements of the City Code and other
applicable codes and laws.
To assure that a licensee is afforded a fair hearing, the licensee must be provided with a sufficient
statement or description of the alleged failures to comply with legal requirements so the licensee can
prepare a defense. In this case, the evidence specifying violations was voluminous, being
comprised of compliance orders, reports and video CDs. All relevant evidence of these alleged
violations was provided to counsel for the licensee before the hearing.
Evidence that was not provided to counsel before the hearing (e.g. Tabs 11, 12 and 13) is not
evidence of grounds for revocation and has not formed the basis for the attached Order.
The attached Order lists nearly 700 violations, all of which were specified, listed or shown in the
evidence provided to the licensee before the hearing. As to these violations, counsel for the licensee
objected to introduction some of the evidence of the violations on the grounds that it was untimely,
irrelevant, hearsay or improperly obtained, among others. However, no assertion was made that the
evidence of these violations was not received before the hearing.
i RESOLUTION NO.
Moreover, although the evidence of these violations was received before the hearing, no assertion
was made and no evidence was produced by the licensee that a single one of these violations did not
occur.
Time of Violations
Counsel to licensee objected to consideration of much of the evidence on violations because the
violations were not suff'iciently recent. Specifically some of the violations occurred in late 2006,
which was during the license period of the prior licensee, and most of the violations were identified
without proof that they continued to be in existence as of the date of the hearing.
The dates of two of the earlier compliance orders showing code violations were October 5 and
November 15, 2006, which was during the licensee's prior two-year license term. City Code
Section 12-901, paragraph 3 provides that no application for a license renewal shall be submitted to
the City Council until the Compliance Official has determined that all life, health safety violations
or discrepancies have been corrected. Testimony suggested that most of these violations had been
corrected by the time the licensee's current license was issued in January of 2007. Likewise, the
City staff did not prove that the other violations listed or depicted in the evidence continued up to
and including the date of the hearing. However, the City is not limited to imposing license
sanctions on the basis only of violations that continue as of the date of the hearing. The rationale
urged by licensee would allow any licensee to avoid any sanctions for violations, no matter how
egregious or how numerous, by the simple expedient of correcting the violations by the date of the
hearing. This is much like suggesting that a liquor license can never be revoked for illegal sales of
alcohol to minors unless the licensee is selling alcohol to a minor at the time of the hearing.
There is nothing in City Code Section 12-901 that suggests that the only grounds for license
revocation or suspension are violations that continue at the time of the hearing.
Although some violations were more recent than others, taken collectively, they form a picture of
the extent of licensee's violations during the twelve-month period before the hearing.
Evidence of Criminal Activities
Ci staff introduced evidence of eneral and s cific criminal activi at or associated with Center
tY g l�e tY
Pointe Apartments. The lack of effort to take steps to curb criminal activity and to reduce the
number of police calls to Center Pointe may reflect poor management and even poor citizenship.
However, the occurrence of criminal activities described in the hearing and the high, and increasing
level of police calls are not violations of City Code and not a ground for suspension or revocation.
However, the evidence demonstrated that some of the violations (specifically the failure to maintain
operating door locks on e�erior doors) are a factor in criminal activity. The failure to maintain
RESOLUTION NO.
locks not only impedes successful law enforcement activity, but significantly diminishes the
security and safety of residents of the facility.
Likewise, the statistics on the increasing number of police-related calls is not grounds for
suspension or revocation, but it is an indication of the need to maintain security measures like
exterior door locks. Therefore, the continuing neglect of the licensee's obligation to maintain
operating exterior door locks is a matter of serious concern.
Videotane Evidence
Respondent objected to the introduction of the videotape evidence found at Tab 1 of the City staff's
e�ibit. That videotape depicts a number of violations. To the e�ent violations depicted are found
significant and sufficiently reliable, they are listed in findings J, K, and L. The videotape was
provided to counsel for the licensee before the hearing.
The licensee presented no evidence challenging the evidence of the videotape or suggesting in any
way that it was false or inaccurate.
However, the licensee did object to the introduction of the evidence on the grounds that it was
hearsay and that licensee's counsel did not have the opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses who
spoke during the taping or the person who took the videotape. The Council is not bound by strict
rules of evidence and finds the evidence of sufficient probative value and reliability to consider it
for the limited purposes for which it is used here, for several reasons. First, the evidence is not
contradicted by licensee. Second, it is cumulative of substantial, uncontested evidence of the same
kinds of violations on many other occasions. Third, the evidence is pictorial evidence of very
simple facts, which need little or no interpretation.
Licensee also objected to the introduction of the videotape evidence because it was obtained by a
search that was alleged by licensee to be unlawful as violative of constitutional protections against
unreasonable search and seizure.
The Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution protects one from unreasonable searches and
seizures. By way of the Fourteenth Amendment, the Fourth applies to the States. In general,
these Amendments require the government to obtain a warrant prior to executing a search. If a
warrant is not obtained or the warrant is defective, the items seized during the search may be
excluded from evidence depending on the type of proceeding. However, there are exceptions to
the warrant requirement. For example, city inspectors do not have to obtain a warrant prior to
conducting an administrative search when acting within their rights as described in a municipal
ordinance. State v. Wvbierala. 305 Minn. 455, 235 N.W.2d 197 (1975) stating "inspection of a
place of business during business hours, in the enforcement of reasonable regulations in the
exercise of police power, is not a violation of the guaranty against searches and seizures."
RESOLUTION NO.
Consent is also an exception to the warrant requirement. For example, landlords can consent to
the search of public areas in an apartment complex. State v. Mallev, 2003 WL 1215532, *3
(Minn. App. 2003).
However, an element of an unreasonable search is a reasonable expectation of privacy. A search
is not unreasonable, and therefore does not violate the constitution, if it does not violate a
reasonable expecta.tion of privacy. With regard to apartment buildings, our Federal Circuit has
taken the osition that there is no le itimate ex ectation of rivac within the common areas of
P g P P Y
apartment buildings. US v. Eisler. 567 F.2d 814 (8th Cir. 1977) reh g denied Jan. 9, 1978. The
Court has examined specific apartment related challenges; i.e., garage banks, locked entries,
basement laundry rooms, and hallways. For example, in concluding that there was no reasonable
expectation of privacy in an apartment parking garage, the Court reasoned that it was used in
common with other tenants of the complex along with their guests, landlords, and agents, and it
has a similar nature with a common hallway. With regard to the locked entrances of apartment
buildings, the Court held that these are meant to provide security to tenants and not provide
privacy to common areas. Cornelius v. State. 2004 WL 237768, *2; see also Eisler, 567 F.2d at
816. Even where the government officer is technically a trespasser on the property, it is "of no
consequence" where one has no reasonable expectation of privacy. Id.; US v. McGrane, 746 F.2d
632, 634 (8th Cir. 1984). In the case of the videotape evidence in this case, all violations cited
were within the common areas of the apartment complex.
MHFA Violations
Failure to comply with MHFA rules is not necessarily a violation of City Code. However, some
of the violations of MHFA rules are also violations of City Code. No evidence was presented to
contradict the report of MHFA violations.
Standard of Review
Counsel for licensee objected to the proceedings because no standard of review had been
established. However, this was not a review of decisions by another body. Rather the hearing
was conducted de novo. The City staff inet its burden of proof, establishing the occurrence of
the violations, essentially without any contradictory evidence.
Evidence of Licensee's Business Activities in Other Cities.
Licensee's business activities in other cities are not grounds for license revocation or suspension
in this case and is not otherwise relevant in this case.
RESOLUTION NO.
Criminal Comnlaints and Nuisance Abatement
Licensee objected to consideration of criminal complaints against Asgher Raza Ali and Hyder
Raza Jaweed on the ground that these were only complaints and not convictions and that a
person is innocent of a crime until proven guilty. While these observations may be true as they
describe the criminal law, this is not a criminal case.
The defendants may not be guilty of crimes as individuals, but that does not mean that the
violations of City Code described in the complaints did not occur. The complaints were signed
by Lt. Benner of the Police Department and contain descriptions of violations that occurred at
Center Pointe. The fact that those violations were included in a complaint does not mean that the
Council may not consider them. It is not necessary that violations be successfully prosecuted as
crimes to be used as a basis for suspension or revocation of a license. In fact, there was no
evidence that any of the hundreds of violations described in the attached order resulted in
criminal convictions. However, if those violations had been included in a criminal complaint
that would not mean that they could no longer be considered by the Council in this proceeding.
Nevertheless, the Council finds that the violations described in the criminal complaint are largely
included in other evidence, are duplicative or repetitive and have been given no additional
weight because they were included in a criminal complaint. Likewise, no consideration has been
given to the nuisance abatement action.
Revocation
When deciding whether to revoke or suspend a license, the Council is required by City Code,
Section 12-910, paragraph 7, to "give due regard to the frequency and seriousness of violations,
the ease with which such violations could have been cured or avoided and good faith efforts to
comply."
Licensee was certainly made aware that City staff regarded the violations of Center Pointe to be
serious and important by the staff's ongoing efforts to encourage licensee to operate Center
Pointe in accordance with the requirements of law.
The attached findings list hundreds of violations so there can be little question of their frequency.
Some violations are minor but many are serious, affecting the health, safety and quality of life of
the residents of Center Pointe. People should not be required to live and raise their families in
housing with inoperative smoke alarms, exposed wiring, cockroach infestation, feces and trash in
hallways and common areas, and handrails falling from the walls. Failure to maintain adequate
caulking and keep plumbing in repair can lead to mold and other unhealthy, unsafe and
unsanitary conditions. Non-functioning exterior door locks robs tenants of basic security and
frustrates law enforcement activities.
RESOLUTION NO.
Yet as serious as these violations are, they almost all seem to be matters that could be resolved
without serious cost or inconvenience. Virtually no evidence was presented to suggest that these
violations could not have been avoided by routine maintenance, could not have been discovered
by ordinary inspections, or could not have been repaired or remedied promptly and at reasonable
expense. In fact, the testimony of representations of licensee's new management company
suggests that good management can remedy the outstanding violations and prevent their
recurrence.
The history of licensee's management over the year prior to the hearing seems to have been to
ignore violations until forced by the City or the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency to remedy
them.
Under these circumstances, the Council finds that a revocation for one year is reasonable and
necessary.
Licensee has retained the services of Paramark to manage Center Pointe. The record is not clear
exactly when this occurred. The City contacts with Paramark occurred in the week before the
hearing. The testimony of Mr. Busch of Paramark was that Paramark began its managed duties
in September 2007. This would have been several weeks after the licensee was given notice of
the hearing to consider suspension or revocation of the license.
While it is encouraging that licensee has retained a professional management company, it is
regrettable that licensee took this step only under threat of revocation.
It is hoped that the recent efforts of the licensee to act responsibly in the management of Center
Pointe will continue over the next year so that the facility will qualify for a license at the end of
the revocation period.

COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Todd Blomstrom, Director of Public Works �j
DATE: December 4, 2007
SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing Release of Financial Guarantee for Eastbrook Estates
Recommendation:
Public Works staff r�ommends that the Brooklyn Center City Council consider the attached resolution
authorizing the release of financial guarantee for Eastbrook Estates.
Background:
In April 2004 the City of Brooklyn Center entered into a subdivision agreement with Eastbrook
Properties, LLC (the "Developer") for a six lot residential development created with the final plat for
Eastbrook Estates. The subdivision agreement established the terms and conditions for construction of
street and utility improvements for the subdivision and provided for the method of payment for such
improvements.
As a condition of the subdivision agreement, the Developer provided the City with two deposits in the
amount of $73,005.00 each for performance and payment security. These securities provided a financial
guarantee that the developer would complete the necessary street and utility improvements and pay all
contractors involved in construction of the subdivision.
The Developer and property owners have subsequently petitioned for a tax combination of Lots 1, 2, and
3, Block 1 of Eastbrook Estates for the purpose of eliminating the need to construct a portion of 68`�' Lane
as part of the development project. A copy of the tax combination document is attached to this
memorandum. Staff has also concluded that a minor extension of 68' Avenue that was originally
included in the subdivision agreement should be postponed until future development of vacant property
located to the east of Eastbrook Estates.
The Developer has completed the remaining street and urility improvements and has requested that the
City expedite the release af the security deposits associated with the subdivision agreement. T'he attached
resolution provides for the conditional release of the deposits.
Budget Issues:
The performance and payment security was posted in the form of a cash deposit. The subdivision
agreement stipulated that these deposits do not accumulate interest. The total re3ease of security would be
$146,010.04.

Hi Curt,
I am sure you read the article in the paper this morning about Brooklyn Park's action on single family rentals-fines for not
renewals and/or not having a lic�ence at all. I have mentioned this type of action in the past and was toid that it wasn't
something that should be considered at the time. I am wondering i� the t+me has �me that we should consider it.
Would you place it on a future work session for Council consideration?
Thanks!

minutes are not yet available, city staff stated items were approved as brought forward in the
Council report. A copy of the report is attached. In addition, the Star Tribune published an
article December 4, 2007, summarizing the issues relating to the fine schedule changes
pertaining to unlicensed rental properties in Brooklyn Park. A copy of the Star Tribune article
is attached.
In Brooklyn Center, establishing an administrative enforcement system is moving forward. The
Charter Commission held a special meeting on November 28, 2007 to review draft language to
the City Charter, which would allow specific authority for a city administrative enforcement
system. Information should be avai(able shortly. Although administrative enforcement
systems are important enforcement tools, city staff has also been investigating other methods
to effectively address issues related to rental properties.
Some issues to consider regarding the licensing aspect for rental properties include:
Implementing appropriatelsevere consequences for violators who rent without a license,
without creating disincentives for owners to obtain a license. Ttiis especially applies to
uninformed persons who are not familiar with licensing requirements or circumstances
of unintentional error.
The burden of proof and consistency in process required to determine if a property is
being licensed without a rental license.
The costs associated with prosecuting or collecting fees that may not be considered
reasonable by the court systems.
The use of alternative or additional tools to obtain quicker compliance.

Item: Administrative Penalty Schedule lncrease
City Manager's Proposed Action:
MOTION SECOND TO WA[VE THE READING AND ADOPT.RESOLUTION
#2007- APPROVING AN INCREASE IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTY SCHEDULE.
Overview:
This item is a follow-up to previous council discussions on September 17, October 15, and November 19, 2007,
regarding an increase to the Administrative Penalty Schedule. Staff was directed to bring back additional
infornlation for a follow-up discussion. The attached fine con�parison table (p.13) lists each of Brooklyn Park's
violations and proposed fine amounts along with the fine amounts for the Gity of Bloom.ington. Since the last
discussion on November 19, staff learned ihat Bloomington very recently i��creased their fine amounts far 2008
and this increase is shown in the table.
Staff recommends the fee amounts in Proposal B on pages 13 and 14.
Process for Enforcement:
The main goal with regard to code violation enforcement is compliance. Complaints are taken in a variety of
ways including phone calls, e-mail, written letters, and in-person at city hall or in the fieid. We ask tl�at
complainants give their name, address, and phone number in case staff needs clarification or wants to provide
an update. Every effort is made to contact the complainant to confirm receipt of their concerns. An inspeclion
is ntade as soon as possible and critical safety or health issues are inspected immediatel�. During the initial
inspection staff makes an effort to speak to the property owner and/or tenant on-site. Alt violations are noted
and pictures taken as needed. A compliance notice is typically issued to the property owner and tenants. T'sme
extensions are considered on a case by case basis and usually are granted if a good faith effort is 6eing made to
correct the violation and if the request is reasonable and acceptable. If the violations are not c�rrected within
the given time frame a citation will be issued. In some instances an immediate fine is issued (i.e. repeat
offenders, long grass violations).
Repeat violators within 24 months are assessed a fine which is double the amount of the previous fine, up to a
maximum of $2,000. Chronic violators and problem properties are frequently issued doubled fines, which helps
recover costs associated with on-going enforcement actions by staff.
An increase in the maximum fine of $2,U00 has been researched by the City Attorney. Although there is no per
se statutory ca� maximum amount for an administrative penalty further research indicates that this amount was
based on the authority that cities have to impose up to $2,000 in civil penalties on liquor licensees who violate
city or state regulations relating to the sale of alcohol. Because the legislature has given cities that amount of
authority in that context, it is logical to conclude that cities should have the same ty}�e of authority for other
code violations that are handled through an administrative, rather than a criminal, process. Therefore, an
increase for to the maximum penalty is not recommended at this time.
Administrative Hearin� process:
Property owners and/or tenants who receive an administrative fine may appeal and request a hearing. The
appeal hearing is held before a neutral hearing officer who examines the facts of the case and may decide i f the
fine should be fully imposed, partially imposed, stayed unti! a further date pending no further violations, or
dismissed. [n 2007 a}�proximately 7% of all fines have been appealed. In most cases, the violation is confirmed
and the fine is either partially or fully imposed. In certain circumstances the fine may be stayed for a s}�ecified
period of time pending no further violations occur. Stayed fines are generally a result of a property being in fiill
compliance prior to the hearing and a prornise by the property owner to maintain the property in good condition.
One beneft of the hearing is that staff can discuss the issues with the property owner and arrangements can be
made for long-term improvements to the property. As previously stated, the main goal is compliance and the
hearing is an opportunity for the city to reiterate community standards and expectations from property owners.
Currc�,�t fine schedule Table taken from City code: Appendix: Fee Resolution, Administrative Penalty
Schedule:
Violation Level Fine Amount
Level one violations $50.00
Level two violations �$75.00
Level three violations $150.00
Level four violations $300.00
Repeat violations within Double the amount of the scheduled fine for the previous violation, up to a
24 months maximum of $2,000
Continuing violations A fine for that can be imposed by the hearing officer for each day the
violation continues.
Primary Issues/Alternatives to Consider:
1. Approve the proposed increase to the penalty schedule
2. Modify and approve an increase to the penalty schedule
Budgetary/Fiscal lssues:
An increase in the Administrative Penalty Schedule will result in an increase in fine revenue.

INTRODUCTION
The Brooklyn Park Administrative Enforcement Program is being used instead of the Hennepin
County court system to review aAeged violations of City Code. Further, the Tobacco Ordinance
Chapter 122 establishes penalties and a review process for tobacco violations. In addition, the Alarm
Systems Ordinance Chapter 91 establishes penalties and a review process for alarm system
violations. This process is intended to be more informal and less intimidating than the Hennepin
County court system. The Alarm Systems, Tobacco, and Administrative Enforcement Programs are
authorized by Brooklyn Park City Code. This brochure will explain the process in plain language.
Codes can be referenced through the City website at ���G���vv.��ra���:Gt� s�>�� k.c�rca.
AFTER RECEIVING A CITATION
If you receive a citation, you may correct the violation and pay the fine; or if you want to request a
hearing, you must respond within 10 days. The purpose of a hearing is to determine whether
or not a violation(s) of City Code existed. Codes cannot be changed through the
administrative enforcement hearing process. Each of these options is discussed on the following
pages.
If the citatian states that this is a "continuing violation" and that a mandatory appearance before a•
hearing officer is required, you cannot just pay the fine. You must request a hearing and appear
before a hearing officer. A hearing o�cer may impose a fine for each day that the vialation has
occurred and continues.
Please note: If you do not correct the continuing violation, the City may take other actions to achieve
compliance with the ordinances.
PAYING THE FINE
The fines for the Administrative Enforcement Program are set forth by the Brooklyn Park City Council
through a resolution defining administrative penalties. The penalties for tobacco violations are
authorized by Brooklyn Park City Code. The fine is noted on the citation. Copies of the #ine
schedules are available by contacting the Prog�am Administrator at (763) 493-8156. The fine may be
paid with cash, check or money order. A check or money order must be made payable to Ehe City of
Brooklyn Park for the correct amount. You may either pay in person at City Hall or mail one copy of.
the citation with your check or money order to:
City of Brooklyn Park
Administrative Enforcement Program
5200-85th Avenue North
Brooklyn Park, MN 55443-4300
NOTE: DO NOT SEND CASH.
If the payment arrives more than 30 days after youc citation was issued, you will be required to pay an
additional 10% penalty for each 30-day period, or part thereof, that the fine remains unpaid after the
due da#e.
NOTE: BY PAYING THE FINE, YOU ARE ADMITTING THAT YOU VIO�ATED THE CITY
ORDINANCE.

Unlicensed rental properties will face stiffer city penalties
Officials want to send a message to landlords: Renting without a license will not be
tolerated. Graduated late fees are now in place.
By LORA PABBT, Star Tribune
Last update: December 4, 2�07 -10:02 PM
Brooklyn Park city officials warrt landlords to know they are serious about cracking down on properties
without rental licenses.
After months of discussion about how much to raise fines, the City Council unanimously voted Monday to
immediately increase the penalties for dozens of violations, from renting without a license to not taking
out the garbage.
But the biggest point of concem for the council is the number cf landfords who refuse to renew or get
rental licenses in the first place. The fine will go up from $150, the same cost of a rental license, to a
graduated {ate fee, which coukf run $2,000 after 30 days.
"If you want to have a rental property, it's a business and there are guidelines you have to follow," said
Council Member Mark Mata
Brooklyn Park has 1,500 single-family homes lic�nsed for rental, but City Engineer Gary Brown estimates
tfiere are probably 300 to 400 more the city doesn't know about. This fall, Brown hired a part-time
employee to seek out these landlords.
The city has also had an increasing number of landlords who didn't renew their licenses this year but are
still rerrting 65, up from a handful last yea�. These cases require lega! action that city officials want the
defiant Iandlords, not residents, to pay for.
'The city has spent a lot of money last year and this year to help neighbors feel safe in their own
neighborhoods," Mata said. "It shouldn't be the residents of Brooklyn Park paying more taxes just to keep
up their neighborhoods."
Unlicensed hames have been identified as a key faCtor in rising crime in Brooklyn Par{c neighborhoads.
This summer, the city instituted the Neighborhood Acaon Program (NAP), which increases cooperation
befinreen law enforcement and code enforcement and licensing inspectors to make sure one house
doesn"t deteriorate enough to affect the quality of the neighborhood.
VVith the program in place, they are able to catl on each other when they discover problem propertias
through the course of their work.

Unlicensed rental properties will face stiffer city penalties Page 2 of 2
Council Member Mike Trepanier said at Monday night's City Council meeting that the city needs to focus
on qetting long-term compliance from landlords.
'This is a carrat and a stick," he said of the increasing fines. "If you respond sooner, you're not gonna get
h�.��
This year, the city charged one local homeowner with renting finro properties without a license. In October,
the homeawner was convicted and ordered to correct the code violations at his properties and update his
li�nse by Dec. 1. Brown said since the homeowner hasn't completed the work, he could now be facing
jail time.
"We're not messing around," Brown said. "If you come in now, it's $250, but if you let it go, it's $2,000."
