WEST FIRE STATION — TRAINING ROOM
CALL TO ORDER STUDY SESSION
The Brooklyn Center City Council met in study session and was called to order by Mayor Myrna
Kragness at 6:00 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Mayor Myrna Kragness, Councilmembers Kay Lasman, Ed Nelson, and Bob Peppe.
Councilmember Ricker was absent and excused. Also Present: City Manager Michael J. McCauley
and Assistant City Manager Jane Chambers.
CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS
The Council discussed several agenda items including 7f, Resolution Authorizing City Manager to
• Sign Settlement Agreement with Bossardt Corporation. The Council inquired whether there would
be any further payments required. City Manager Michael McCauley advised that pursuant to this
agreement the City would not pay to Bossardt Corporation the remaining $20,000 to $30,000
required under the contract. Both sides would be walking away from any claims against the other
party.
Councilmember Nelson inquired as to the impact of the proposed agenda item 8a, An Ordinance
Establishing the Central Commercial Overlay District, and why a larger area was not included. Mr.
McCauley responded that the uses identified in the overlay district were felt to be incompatible with
a regional shopping center area and would not aid in providing synergy to the redevelopment of
Brookdale. This area was limited to the area immediately around Brookdale for those reasons.
Councilmember Lasman inquired regarding the depth of the language and its application. Mr.
McCauley indicated that there might well be circumstances that the Council would want to consider
on an individualized basis for potential amendment to the ordinance, such as educational institutions
having a massage program. This ordinance however would allow the Council the opportunity to
review such situations in depth, but prevent businesses from going into the area around Brookdale
that would not be compatible with a regional shopping center.
Mayor Kragness asked if the purchase in item 7c, Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of One 16
Foot Rotary Mower with Attachments, should be deferred given the uncertainty at the State level.
• Mr. McCauley advised that the funds for this were in the Central Garage Budget and were available
and not part of the current General Fund Budget.
01/14/02 -1- DRAFT
In addition, if it were necessary to cut back on maintenance activities, large pieces of equipment such •
as the rotary mower would be all the more important.
Mayor Kragness indicated that she wished to add an item to the agenda as item 9o, Proclamation
Declaring January 21, 2002, as Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Mayor Kragness discussed correspondence from the Park Center Drama Association. The Park
Center Drama Association was requesting donations to improve the sound, light, and video systems
for the Park Center High School Drama Department. The Council requested a copy of the request
and indicated that some of the Council was interested in making individual contributions to assist the
Drama Department.
Councilmember Lasman recalled that the Drama Department had assisted in last year's Birthday
Celebration.
DISCUSSION OF JANUARY 28 CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Councilmember Peppe identified some of the areas that he would like addressed at the meeting with
representatives of the Department of Health, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and the
Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT). Among those issues were assurance on the
necessary approvals for the project from an environmental standpoint, information on any
implications of relocating the wells and abandoning testing wells, and information as to what •
happens if there are any contaminants arising out of construction. Councilmember Peppe is
interested in whether or not acquiring the right -of -way for the road would release Joslyn from any
liability and whether Joslyn would still be liable. He also wanted information on responsibility for
the environmental issues once the road was built. Councilmember Peppe discussed the issue of
Mn/DOT objecting to being designated the responsible governmental unit and then changing its
position a month later and wanted to know what had occurred to trigger that.
Mr. McCauley indicated that a partial answer to that was that City staff had contacted Mn/DOT
regarding this issue. City staff had indicated that it was a Mn/DOT project that the City was
undertaking on their behalf and that Mn/DOT should be the responsible governmental unit. Also,
the office that received the inquiry was a different office and not necessarily in communication with
that part of Mn/DOT responsible for the project.
Councilmember Peppe wanted to know who would be advising regarding some of these legal issues.
Mr. McCauley indicated that Mr. LeFevere was familiar with many of these issues. Since some of
the Mn/DOT officials involved would not be available on January 28, 2002. It was the consensus to
have this matter on the regular February 11, 2002, City Council agenda.
DISCUSSION OF FEBRUARY 14 CITY COUNCIL RETREAT AND FEBRUARY 19
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
The Council discussed the format for the February 14, 2002, Council Retreat and it was the
consensus that the normal format would be followed for the retreat.
01/14/02 -2- DRAFT
• The Council also discussed the February 19, 2002, worksession. In addition to Councilmember
Ricker's item regarding rental housing ordinance changes, Councilmember Peppe's discussion item
about the Smart Growth impacts and discussing the big picture in responding to whatever was
drafted for consideration, along with the City Managers salary and contract for 2002,
Councilmember Peppe suggested discussion of the impacts of the phase out of limited market value
on Brooklyn Center homeowners and what options there may be to reduce those tax implications.
MISCELLANEOUS
No miscellaneous items were discussed.

in Brooklyn Center by the Osseo School District. Mr. Myszkowski suggested looking at alternate
ways to keep the schools open, such as a special assessment against all of the homes in the
attendance area. Mayor Kragness advised Mr. Myszkowski that the Council had previously sent a
resolution to the Osseo School Board opposing closing any of the schools and urging people to
consider attending the School Board meeting.
Joel Downer, 7030 Irving Avenue North, spoke to the Council asking them to consider acquiring an

SUBJECT: An Ordinance Vacating Certain Utility Easements in BROOKLYN CROSSING
3 RD ADDITION
The CSM Corporation has requested a utility easement vacation at the property located at 3200
Bass Lake Road.
In the 1960's an easement was created for a segment of sanitary sewer extending connecting the
centerline of Zenith Avenue South to Northway Drive. The segment of land has since been
platted as BROOKLYN CROSSING 3 RD ADDITION and developed. The development included
constructing the building located at 3200 Bass Lake Road and relocating the sewer accordingly.
An easement was dedicated over the relocated sewer; however, the 1960's easement was never
vacated.
• This item is presented this evening for second reading and public hearing.

City Council Agenda Item No. 9a
• MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 24, 2002
TO: Michael McCauley, City Manager
FROM: Todd Howard, City Enginee4
SUBJECT: Resolution Accepting Engineer's Feasibility Report and Calling for a Public
Hearing, Improvement Project Nos. 2002 -05, 06, and 07, Garden City South
Street, Storm Drainage, and Utility Improvements
A feasibility report and preliminary design have been completed for the above referenced project.
The project was previously established by the City Council on May 29, of 2001, and two
informational meetings have been conducted with residents and property owners since then. The
attached feasibility report provides a detailed breakdown of specific proposed project work items
and costs.
The total project cost at this time is estimated to be $3,928,000. Funding sources for the project
are proposed from a variety of sources as anticipated in the 2002 budget and CIP, and as
• described in the feasibility report. The 2002 budget provides $3,425,000 for the City's share of
improvement costs. The preliminary estimate of the City's share of the costs for this project is
$3,100,000. The preliminary estimate includes a 10% contingency. We believe the budgeted
funds will be adequate to cover the costs of the project.
Staff have conducted two informational meetings, and have twice sent mailings to all property
owners in the area with surveys requesting input from residents on the project and various issues.
A summary of the survey responses is attached. The informational meetings were generally
positive in nature with the majority of questions and concerns relating to specific construction
related issues.
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached resolution to receive the Engineer's
Feasibility Report, and to schedule a public hearing to consider approval of the project for
February 11, 2002.

Feasibility Report Garden City South Neighborhood Page 1
OVERVIEW (see Figure 1)
• These proposed projects include roadway and utility improvements for the Garden City South
Neighborhood, more specifically all public streets as shown in Figure 1. The general improvement
area consists of the following streets: all streets bounded by Brooklyn Boulevard on the west, Shingle
Creek on the east, 61" Avenue on the north. and Northway Drive to the south. Xerxes Avenue between I-
94 and Northway Drive is also proposed for pavement rehabilitation (see map). Estimated costs for the
new street improvements are included in a Cost and Funding Chart on the attached Figure 5.
This report was prepared in accordance with previous direction of the City Council that staff would
conduct Public Information meetings. On November 15, 2001 and January 15, 2002, public
information meetings were conducted.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
STREETS
Improvement Project 2002 -05 (see Figure 1)
The majority of the streets in the proposed project area are classified as local residential streets,
originally constructed in conjunction with utility installations in the late 1950's and early 1960's. All
of the existing streets are very flat, and in most areas do not have concrete curb and gutter. On
average, the streets are 30 feet wide, with a pavement thickness of about 2.0 inches. These streets are
aging and showing fatigue and distress, particularly along their unprotected edges. The City's
• Pavement Management Program indicates that it is no longer cost - effective to routinely maintain these
streets (i.e., patch and sealcoat). Complete reconstruction is warranted.
It is proposed to reconstruct these streets as two lane roadways measuring 30 feet in width with a
structural capacity for the current volume and vehicle distribution. On- street parking on both sides
would continue to be allowed on all streets as existing and in accordance with the City's parking
ordinances. Concrete curbs and gutters and driveway aprons would be installed as part of the
improvement.
Traffic volumes on most of these streets are typical of local residential streets. Traffic counts on 59`'
Avenue indicate approximately 1,000 vehicle trips per day, which is consistent with traffic volumes on
residential streets. Some residents in the area have expressed traffic speed concerns. Most of the
concerns were generated from 59 ' Avenue, citing cut through traffic and speeding as primary issues.
Residents on Beard Avenue also expressed concern of speeding traffic. Traffic calming measures
were reviewed with residents but due to a lack of consensus are not proposed as part of the
improvements.
Xerxes Avenue is a Municipal State Aid street with traffic volumes of approximately 9,000 vehicles
per day. The segment of street was constructed to its current alignment in the 1950's. In 1985, the
pavement was milled and overlayed and repairs were made to the concrete curb and gutter. The
existing pavement is 4 -5 inches thick and the aging pavement is showing signs of distress. A total
• depth mill and overlay is proposed and is the most cost effective rehabilitation strategy.
Feasibility Report Garden Cite South Neighborhood Page 2
There are no new sidewalks proposed as part of the project. Portions of the existing sidewalk on
Xerxes Avenue would be replaced and new concrete pedestrian ramps are proposed. Additional
enhancements to the median on Xerxes Avenue include colored concrete, street lighting and trees. No
• new sidewalks or trails are included in the cost estimates.
The cost estimates in this report do include a lump sum allocation ($30,000) for planting boulevard
trees to replace those removed. An amount of $80.000 has also been allocated for replacement of
street lights. Staff is working with Xcel Energy at this time to determine final pole locations and
determine if more street lighting is needed.
STORM DRAINAGE
Improvement Project 2002 -06
(see Figure 2 for proposed storm sewer system)
The existing storm sewer system in the project area was installed on a per development basis and is
undersized throughout the proposed project area. Piping and storm water intakes are proposed in this
area to alleviate localized drainage problems.
The surface water runoff from the project generally flows from west to east into Shingle Creek. The
southern portion of runoff from the Garden City South neighborhood is piped along the north side of
59 "' Avenue to Upton Avenue south toward the Summerchase Apartment complex where it outlets into
Shingle Creek. Portions of the trunk storm sewer along 59 " Avenue are undersized and additional
catch basins are needed to prevent localized flooding. Survey results received from residents also
indicate some localized incidents of standing water.
The northern portion of the project area is piped down 60 " Avenue and 61" Avenue and outlets into a
drainage ditch north of the Little League fields. Additional intakes are proposed and the existing
interceptors on 60 " Avenue and 61S` Avenue will be utilized to the extent practical. A pond is
proposed to treat the surface water runoff from this drainage area and maintenance is required on the
existing ditch.
A smaller drainage area east of Xerxes Avenue is proposed to be routed to Shingle Creek along the
60 "' Avenue alignment.
Figure 2 shows a preliminary concept for storm drainage improvements to serve the project area.
The project design essentially provides for installation of additional storm sewers and catch basins to
provide additional pick -up points throughout the neighborhood, thereby allowing streets to be
regraded to provide more positive drainage, and to minimize localized flooding. To the extent
practical, the existing storm sewer system will be utilized. Additional piping, intakes throughout the
proposed project area, and treatment ponds are estimated to cost $669,000.
SANITARY SEWERS
Improvement Project 2002 -07 (see Figure 3)
• All sanitary sewers in the project area generally are 8 -inch diameter or 10 -inch diameter clay pipe,
installed in the late 1950's and early 1960's. Because these sewers were constructed without gaskets in
Feasibilii) Report Garden City South Neighborhood Page 3
the joints, they are subject to a modest level of ground water infiltration. Often, it would not be cost -
effective to eliminate this infiltration if the pipe itself were in good condition. City maintenance
records along with a televised inspection of all sewers in this area document a significant tree root
infiltration problem and some structural defects in the sewer mains. Surveys received from residents
also indicate various experiences with plugging of service lines that can often be attributed to root
penetration of the pipe joints. City maintenance staff is required to routinely perform root sawing on
the sanitary mains in the project area to prevent back -ups.
The televised inspections have indicated that root infiltration is significant throughout the majority of
the sanitary sewer system in Garden City South (Figure 3). In particular, root infiltration and
blockages are seen at the connection points between private service lines and the mains. Therefore,
nearly all sewer mains in the project area are proposed to be replaced. Sewer mains along Beard
Avenue and along 61st Avenue are in excellent condition and replacement does not appear warranted.
Staff has compared costs of complete replacements vs. repair and replacement of specific problem
areas only. Because of construction methods, mobilization costs, and in consideration of the final
product and long term performance, it has been determined that in the long -term perspective, complete
replacement appears more feasible at this time. An attempt will be made during the development of
detailed plans to avoid replacing services in circumstances where complete replacement is not
warranted.
A force main on Vincent Avenue was constructed in the 1950's out of cast iron pipe. The segment of
forcemain to the north of the project area and to the south of the project area has been replaced.
Replacement of this forcemain is proposed.
• Additional information regarding sewer problems was received from property owners during the
public participation process. Based on that information and additional review of other available
information, final recommendations will be made during the final design process and project cost
estimates will be revised accordingly. At this time the estimated cost of sanitary sewer work as
proposed is $632,000.
WATER MAINS
Improvement Project 2002 -07 (see Figure 4)
The water distribution system in this particular neighborhood was installed in the early 1960's with
cast iron pipe. Based on the year installed and the information received from the resident surveys, the
cast iron pipe has corrosion resistant lining.
Water pressures throughout the system are adequate. However, in some instances, water may become
stagnant in certain areas, such as the dead end streets and the Upton Avenue cul -de -sac, as a result of
poor circulation, and thus contribute to the water quality related problems.
The cast iron pipe is brittle. In areas where deep trenching will disturb the soil, thereby increasing the
risk of breaking, the mains will be replaced. In addition, leaky valves, and aging hydrants would be
replaced as part of this work. The cost of this water system work is estimated to be $315,000.
ESTIMATED COSTS AND FUNDING CONSIDERATIONS (see Figure 5)

estimate, as well as funding sources is explained as follows in this report and attachment.
Costs and Funding for Street Improvements, Proiect No. 2002 -05
• The estimated ro'ect cost for roadway improvements for all streets in this project area is $2 312,000.
P J Y P P J ,
These costs include project administration, engineering, street lighting and reforestation.
It is proposed to levy special assessments for street improvements in accordance with the 2002 rates
adopted by the City Council. The rates adopted by the City Council provide for a standard 2002
residential street assessment rate of $2,400 per residential property. The mill and overlay assessment
rate is proposed to be $1,755 per residential property. These rates would be assessed to all benefited

proposed to be $0.29 per square foot. On this basis it is estimated that special assessments totaling
$639,044 would be levied for street improvements.
Costs and Funding for Storm Drainage Svstem Improvements, Proiect No. 2002 -06
The total estimated cost for storm drainage improvements within the Garden City South Neighborhood
area is $669,000. This includes the cost of storm sewer construction throughout the project area.
It is proposed to levy special assessments for storm drainage improvements in accordance with the
2002 rates adopted by the City Council. Application of this rate to properties benefited by these
improvements will result in estimated special assessments of $790 per single- family residential unit.
The rate for non - residential properties is proposed to be $0.14 per square foot. The total cost to be
assessed would be $190 602.22. The Storm Drainage Utility Fund would for a substantial amount
• � Y pay
of the remainder of the storm sewer costs.
Costs and FundinL- for Sanitary Sewer and Water Main Improvements, Proiect No. 2002 -07
The estimated cost of sanitary sewer repairs and /or replacements is $632,000 and the estimated costs
for water main repair and /or replacements is $315,000. As previously noted, these cost estimates are
preliminary at this time. However, all such costs would be funded by their respective utility funds, in
accordance with established policy for such improvements.

RELATING TO THE LICENSING OF RENTAL PROPERTIES
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Section 12 -910 is amended as follows:
Section 12 -910. LICENSE SUSPENSION, [OR] REVOCATION AND NON -
RENEWAL.
1. Every operating license issued under the provisions of this [ordinance] Chapter is
subject to suspension or revocation by the City Council [should the licensed owner or his duly
• authorized agent fail to operate or maintain licensed rental dwellings and units therein consistent
with the provisions of the ordinance of the City of Brooklyn Center and the laws of the State of
Minnesota]. In the event that an operating license is suspended or revoked by the City Council
[for just cause], it shall be unlawful for the owner or [his] the owner's duly authorized agent to
thereafter permit any new occupancies of vacant or thereafter vacated rental units until such time
as a valid operating license may be restored by the City Council. Any person violating this
[provision] section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be
punished by a fine of not more than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) or by imprisonment not to
exceed ninety (90) days or both, together with the costs of prosecution. Each day of each
violation shall constitute a separate punishable offense. The Council may revoke, suspend or
decline to renew any license issued under this Chapter upon any of the following grounds:
a. false statements on any application or other information or report required
by this Chapter to be given by the applicant or licensee.
b. failure to pay any application, penalty, reinspection or reinstatement fee
required by this Chapter and City Council resolution.
C. failure to correct deficiencies noted in notices of violation in the time
specified in the notice.
d. any other violation of this Chapter.
• e. failure to operate or maintain the licensed premises in conformity with all
applicable state laws and codes and this Code of Ordinances.
• ORDINANCE NO.
2. Revocation, suspension and non - renewal may be brought under either this
Section or Section 12 -911, or both.
3. A decision to revoke, suspend, deny or not renew a license shall be preceded by
written notice to the applicant or licensee of the alleged grounds therefor and the applicant or
licensee will be given an opportunity for a hearing before the City Council before final action to
revoke, suspend, deny or not renew a license. The Council shall 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 and shall issue a decision to deny, not renew, suspend
or revoke a license only upon written findings.
4. The Council may suspend or revoke a license or not renew a license for part or all
of a facility.
5. Licenses may be suspended for up to ninety (90) days and may, after the period of
suspension, be reinstated subject to compliance with this Chapter any conditions imposed by the
City Council at the time of suspension. Licenses that are revoked will not be reinstated until the
owner has applied for and secured a new license and complied with all conditions imposed at the
time of revocation. Upon a decision to revoke a license, no new application for the same facility
will be accepted for the period of time specified in the Council's written decision, which shall
® not exceed one year. A decision not to renew a license may take the form of a suspension or
revocation. A decision to deny an initial application for a new facility will not take the form of a
suspension or revocation unless false statements have been made by the applicant in connection
with the application. A decision to deny an initial application shall state conditions of
reapplication. All new applications must be accompanied by a reinstatement fee, as specified by
Council resolution, in addition to all other fees required by this Chapter.
6. A written decision to revoke, suspend, deny or not renew a license or application
shall specify the part or parts of the facility to which it applies. Thereafter, and until a license is
reissued or reinstated, no rental units becoming vacant in such part or parts of the facility may be
relet or occupied. Revocation, suspension or non - renewal of a license shall not excuse the
owner from compliance with all terms of state laws and codes and this Code of Ordinances for as
long as any units in the facility are occupied. Failure to comply with all terms of this Chapter
during the term of revocation, suspension or non - renewal is a misdemeanor and grounds for
extension of the term of such revocation or suspension or continuation of non - renewal, or for a
decision not to reinstate the license, notwithstanding any limitations on the period of suspension,
revocation or non - renewal specified in the City Council's written decision or in paragraph 5. of
this Section.
Section 2. Section 12 -201 paragraph 18 is amended as follows:
18. Owner - a person, agent, firm or corporation having a legal or equitable interest in
the property. In any corporation or partnership, the term owner includes general partners and
corporate officers.

determines that any building or portion thereof, or the premises surrounding any of these, fails to

ordinance and ordering the owner, occupant, operator, or agent to correct such violations shall be
issued. This compliance order shall:

Re: Agenda Item 9d. State Budget Shortfall
For this item, I am planning to update on the latest numbers available on the Governor's
plan to reduce aids in a disproportionate fashion. I will use the cash flow chart to re-
emphasize that:
- we do not have 50 +% of the General Fund Budget as surplus
- the Governor's plan is penalizing cities where the citizens have approved
referenda for building projects like police and fire buildings
- showing again some of what the City does with its revenues in providing
services.
