He stated it is expected that the City's legal representative will be present not later than 8:00 this evening. At that time an Executive Session will likely be requested. He recommended postponing action on agenda items 111 and 11 in until the Executive Session has been held. 11m. PRESENTATION OF NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION FOR STAY OF CENTER POINTE APARTMENT LICENSE REVOCATION Mr. Boganey introduced the item, discussed the history, and stated the purpose for the Motion for Stay of Center Pointe Apartment license revocation. He recommended it may be more appropriate for Council to consider this request following the Executive Session with the City's legal representative on this matter. City Attorney Charlie LeFevere advised that the Executive Session should be held for the purpose of discussing the settlement agreement with Brooklyn Center Leased Housing Associates Limited Partnership (BCLHA), rather than to discuss the motion for stay. He advised if Council determines to meet in Executive Session the motion would be to adjourn to Executive Session. Council will be reconvening following the Executive Session to take up additional matters. Concern was expressed that there does not appear to be information at this time to show that a stay of enforcement on the license revocation would be in order at this time. There was discussion of the requested stay of enforcement of the Center Pointe Apartment License revocation. Mr. LeFevere advised it is common for courts to stay these types of license revocation decisions until it is determined that the decision has been agreed to by a higher court. He advised the request is that the City Council schedule a hearing on the question of whether the license revocation should be stayed. He advised his recommendation would be to grant the two -week period so the parties can gather the legal arguments that would be presented to Council two weeks from now, and at that time Council would make a decision on whether to grant the motion. If the motion is not granted the revocation would go into effect two weeks from now. There was additional discussion of the possible stay of enforcement of the Center Pointe Apartment License revocation. Additional concern was expressed that there does not appear to be a reason to stay the enforcement at this time. Councilmember Ryan requested clarification from the City 01/14/08 -8- Attorney that the stay of enforcement would be a common procedure in district court pending the decision of the court of appeals. Mr. LeFevere advised he believes a two -week stay would be granted in district court pending an appeal hearing. Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember O'Connor seconded to accept Notice of Motion and Motion for Stay of Enforcement Pending Appeal and to Schedule a Hearing on January 28, 2008. Councilmember Yelich voted against same. Motion passed. 11n.

RESOLUTION NO. 2008 -13 RECOGNIZING THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF ETHNIC POPULATIONS AND HERITAGE CELEBRATIONS Concern was expressed that although the proposed resolution was likely well-intentioned, it is inappropriate. It was stated that the resolution 1) assumes the City Council goal prior to the goal session retreat scheduled for February 16, 2008; 2) is insulting to people of many heritages, particularly the two- thirds of Brooklyn Center that it implies are not of any ethnic heritage; and 3) encourages divisiveness in this community while they should encourage unity. It was pointed out that the resolution includes the statement "and all other heritage celebrations reflected in Brooklyn Center's population" for the reason of inclusion. Mayor Willson recited the proposed resolution into the record. Y P p There was additional discussion of the proposed resolution. Views were expressed that celebrating the residents' culture should not be a City resolution. It was also stated that the resolution brings the City together. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Lasman seconded to adopt Resolution No. 2008- 13 Recognizing the Contributions of Ethnic Populations and Heritage Celebrations. Staff was asked which third of the City is considered ethnic according to the resolution. Mr. Boganey explained this language has been in the resolution for the last several years. He assumes it makes reference to what is identified in the census records. Councilmembers O'Connor and Yelich voted against the same. Motion passed. ADJOURN TO EXECUTIVE SESSION Mayor Willson indicated that the City Council would adjourn to Executive Session for the purpose of discussing the proposed settlement agreement with Brooklyn Center Leased Housing Associates Limited Partnership.
