OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA SPECIAL SESSION JUNE 5,2000 CITY HALL 1. CALL TO ORDER SPECIAL MEETING The Brooklyn Center City Council met in special session and was called to order by Mayor Myrna Kragness at 7 p.m. 2. ROLL CALL Mayor Myrna Kragness, Councilmembers Debra Hilstrom, Kay Lasman, Ed Nelson, and Robert Peppe. Also present: City Manager Michael McCauley, Assistant City Manager Jane Chambers, Community Development Director Brad Hoffman, Planning and Zoning Specialist Ron Warren, Public Works Director Diane Spector,Administrative Specialist Anne Finn, City Attorney Charlie LeFevere, and City Clerk Sharon Knutson. 3. OVERVIEW OF SPECIAL MEETING Mayor Kragness explained that this special meeting of the City Council was requested by Sharing & Caring Hands to communicate with the City Council regarding a potential land use application for a residential facility located on Earle Brown Drive. The property is zoned C 1-A. This zone is intended for office commercial use and does not contemplate residential uses. The City has not received an application for a land use change,but Sharing& Caring Hands has indicated it plans to seek a land use change to allow a residential facility. The City Council will not take any action at this meeting. The meeting is solely for the purpose of receiving information. She asked persons to use the sign up sheets which were located at the entrance to Constitution Hall to be placed on a list to receive notification of future Planning Commission or City Council hearing dates. A summary of the questions,concerns,and comments from the meeting will be prepared and mailed to persons using the sign up sheets. Mayor Kragness recognized representatives from Sharing &Caring Hands. 4. PRESENTATION BY SHARING & CARING HANDS The following representatives spoke on behalf of Sharing&Caring Hands: Mary Jo Copeland,Dick Copeland,architects John Cuningham and David Engelson of Cuningham Group, and Kallie King Yanta. • 06/05/00 -1- DRAFT Ms. Copeland addressed the City Council and explained that she wants to build an orphanage in Brooklyn Center where children could be taken for a period of time. She believes there is a great need for housing the children and keeping siblings together in one setting rather than splitting them into several foster homes. She purchased land in Golden Valley and tried to build an orphanage there, but the land was polluted. She believes the Brooklyn Center site near the Earle Brown Heritage Center offers numerous amenities for the children: across from Civic Center,near a park, close to senior citizens who may volunteer to work with these children, and near Target. Children could walk to Target to buy clothes and to the Civic Center and park. She said Reliastar informed her the property has been available for 15 years. She gave an overview of the site.which will include: 32 amts with 8 children and 1 parent figure in each amt plus a study and cooking facility; the general areas will include: a community room, gym,chapel, school, and library. 192 kids will live there,along with interns from colleges so they can pay off tuition. Two staff members qualified in child behavior will be on-site during the day. Each child will come with a social worker from their home county. One alternative to the issue facing the school district could be for some children to be taught on site. Ms. Copeland stated she would assess each family referred by various counties and take as many children as she could. She also stated that God has picked this spot. Dick Copeland addressed the City Council and said Ms. Copeland met with the State of Minnesota and Hennepin County and both are supportive. Target wanted to be the lead corporate sponsor. The first site chosen was in Golden Valley,but it was polluted. The other sites were rejected because the land was not for sale. They want the orphanage to be close to parks, schools, and additional amenities. Their first attempt to purchase the land from Reliastar was turned down. They were • concerned about the zoning issues but thought this was something they could work in. They delayed submitting an application so they could present their concept to the community and receive input. David Engelson of Cuningham Group,architects for Sharing&Caring Hands,presented a schematic design of the project. The building design has three floors, first floor has a school, gym, library, chapel; apartments on second floor; greenspace includes court yard and playground. John Cuningham of Cuningham Group discussed his personal interest in the project, as he grew up in a residential academy in Philadelphia. He said Hennepin County has 8,000 neglected children and this school is planned to deal with these at-risk children. Kallie ressed- Kin Yan ta�ex her g p support of the concept and encouraged people to visit Sharing& Caring Hands. Mayor Kragness thanked representatives from Sharing&Caring Hands. 5.

What effect will this have on the TIF District? Brooklyn Center School District is the third poorest school per pupil in the State. 28%of the City is on fixed income. The Financial Commission's position is that deviance from the City's Comprehensive Plan might impact dramatically on the City's infrastructure with resulting financial implications. The Financial Commission offered to assist the City Council,if requested,to review any financial impacts. It is a bad idea to build to place children in an institutional setting. It is hard to believe that a social worker would recommend the institutional setting. Children should be placed in a group home or foster care. Children should be integrated in their own community. A needs assessment has not been done by Hennepin County. An impact study has not been made on the effect of this issue. This was the first time that a school was included in the proposal. Brooklyn Center School District is overcrowded and temporary classrooms are being added already. The orphanage would remove the property from the tax rolls and impact residents. What supervision will the children have? The orphanage should be 100%funded long term. Citizens of Brooklyn Center should be able to vote on this issue. How can Brooklyn Center School District add almost 200 more kids to it? This is a tax burden on residents. What about accessibility? The children would need to cross three of the busiest roads to get to amenities. The property is one of the last parcels of commercial property left in the City and is valuable. The location is an isolated area; with whom will the children interact? The age group mentioned is 4-11,but what about the children who may be kept until they graduate? 06/05/00 -4- DRAFT • The City's tax base has been reduced so many times with the highways and roads; the tax base cannot be reduced any more. The community is being revitalized, such as the 53rd Avenue Project in the southeast neighborhood, and this proposal will not help with the image difficulties. 30%of the children in Brooklyn Center School District are non-residents. Children should not live in an institution; children should live in a home setting like foster home. The site is not large enough. An orphanage is a beautiful, loving, wonderful place to live. An orphanage will not spoil anything. Volunteers help at orphanages to show kindness and love. People are afraid of change. The world is growing, so the school district will grow too. Whose responsibility is it to take care of the children who are neglected? There are not enough foster parents. This proposal will keep all siblings together. The poor will always be here and need help. People will come from all over to see the orphanage. Siblings should not be separated, and this proposal provides an alternative to foster homes. Who are"them"when the residents refer to the type of children living at the orphanage? Mary's Place provides care and assistance for the homeless. The Brooklyn Community Chamber of Commerce is opposed to the land use and supports the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Legislature provided funding to keep classroom sizes down. How will the school be able to lower classroom size with an additional 200 children? Residents support orphanages overseas,why not support an orphanage in your own community? Concentration should be placed on the quality of education,not the class size. There are homeless children in Brooklyn Center,and this would provide them an opportunity to live somewhere and be cared for. More foster homes are needed. Foster children are also neglected. There is senior housing in the area,why not this type of housing? Who will pay when a pedestrian bridge is needed? What are the costs and losses to the City for zoning? The Brooklyn Center School District has no land to expand its schools. There have not been any police calls relating to Sharing& Caring Hands. This is a noble cause. The orphanage would provide more friends for the kids. A tax increase is okay. This will compliment the redevelopment of the City. Brooklyn Center School District should take less open enrollment. The land is vacant,why not build? Maybe Target could fund a pedestrian bridge, if needed. Guidelines need to be in place. • Brooklyn Center cannot afford this proposal. 06/05/00 -5- DRAFT Foster care children are moved every three to six months. • The proposal is planning an on-site school, so this wouldn't affect the school district. In favor of orphanage;the City doesn't need another high-rise building. The site is too small. What happens when the site needs to expand? Increased property taxes are a hardship on residents. This is not a halfway house, it is a home for children. The property has been on the market for 15 years;why not this use? The orphanage will bring in children from out of state,transplants. Segregation in own school will not work. Orphanages were abandoned for a reason,they did not work. Why weren't the residents brought in earlier on this proposal? Home school does work. Are the nuns or volunteers qualified and properly licensed to deal with these children? The basic issue is zoning; follow the Comprehensive Plan. Keep in mind the interests of the City as a whole. The City does not need more housing density. The City has met the challenge of the changing culture. How much can one school district and one city endure? Brooklyn Center has done its fair share. An over-concentration of at-risk children will lower the process of helping these children. Brooklyn Center is not the right place. Volunteerism will make a better community. • Keep an open mind and listen to the options. How does the City benefit from this proposal? Does the facility meet the long-term goals of the City? There are a lot of communities with larger parcels of land. This is not a racial issue,but a space issue. Brooklyn Center is not the place for the orphanage. Visit Sharing & Caring Hands. The orphanage will provide children without homes a place to live. The orphanage will not hurt our schools. Mayor Kragness thanked everyone for their input. 6. ADJOURNMENT A motion by Councilmember Lasman, seconded by Councilmember Peppe to adjourn the City Council special meeting at 9:45 p.m. passed unanimously. City Clerk Mayor • 06/05/00 -6- DRAFT • MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA STUDY SESSION JUNE 12,2000 CONFERENCE ROOM B CALL TO ORDER STUDY SESSION The Brooklyn Center City Council met in study session and was called to order by Mayor Pro Tem Debra Hilstrom at 6 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor Pro Tern Debra Hilstrom, Councilmembers Kay Lasman, Ed Nelson, and Robert Peppe. Mayor Myrna Kragness was absent and excused. Also present: City Manager Michael J.McCauley, Community Development Director.Brad Hoffman,Assistant City Manager Jane Chambers, and City Clerk Sharon Knutson. Mayor Pro Tern Hilstrom referenced a letter she received from Dick Copeland,Project Manager for Sharing & Caring Hands. She requested to add this item to the agenda as the first item for discussion. MAYOR PRO TEM HILSTROM: LETTER FROM DICK COPELAND Mayor Pro Tern Hilstrom said she received a letter from Dick Copeland, Project Manager for Sharing&Caring Hands,requesting to meet with her individually. The other members of the City Council also received a letter. Council Members indicated they had not met individually with representatives of Sharing & Caring Hands. Council discussed options relating to this matter. Councilmember Nelson indicated he would like to meet individually with Sharing&Caring Hands. Mayor Pro Tern Hilstrom and Councilmembers Lasman and Peppe expressed that they preferred to receive information on matters as a Council and not individually. Council Members will respond to the letter on their own. 1. CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS Councilmember Nelson discussed Council Consideration Item 9c, Staff Report on TH 100 Segment 4 Design, and inquired what Council action is being sought. City Manager Michael McCauley explained that Public Works Director Diane Spector would provide an overview of the design concept so that Council could get a sense of the project. Mn/DOT is looking for conceptual pre- design approval from the Council. Councilmember Nelson raised the following issues related to the design: impact of the railroad track being raised; School District 281 involvement; and MCTO bus • routes. 6/12/00 -1- DRAFT 2. DISCUSSION OF DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS • JOSLYN SITE ACOUISITION/EXPANSION Mr.McCauley explained that neighboring communities,Brooklyn Park and Champlin, are writing down the cost of land to attract development. The last proposed development in Brooklyn Center fell through due to Champlin pursuing the developer and writing down the cost of bare land. It is Mr. McCauley's recommendation not to write down the cost of bare land for redevelopment. The Council agreed with not writing down more money than$2 per foot for land. Mr. McCauley said the second issue regarding the Joslyn site is consideration of acquisition of Minnesota Tile. This would square off the development area and create a larger,more marketable site which could accommodate two large buildings. The funding would come from TIF District#3. Cash flows from the Joslyn TIF District#4 would not be sufficient without extending the life of the district. Council discussed the developments included in the TIF Districts. Community Development Director Brad Hoffman said that Real Estate Recycling has a purchase agreement with Minnesota Tile;the agreement is contingent upon Brooklyn Center's agreeing to write down the land to $2 per foot and Mr. Dale receiving a letter from the City/EDA expressing its willingness to use eminent domain at this site. The acquisition price would be near the assessed value. 69TH AVENUE NORTH AND BROOKLYN BOULEVARD OFFER FROM REMAINING PROPERTY Mr. McCauley said that the owner of Viking Blinds has offered to sell his property to the EDA at a total cost that is within the range of anticipated cost of acquisition and below the potential costs of acquisition through eminent domain. The other site which needs to be acquired for this redevelopment is Duoos Brothers American Legion. He is seeking direction from the Council whether to proceed with acquisition. Council consensus was to proceed with acquisition. WILLOW LANE CONCEPT Mr. Hoffman explained the City has received an offer from Eagle Crest Northwest, a home builder, to purchase the EDA property at 65th Avenue North and Willow Lane. He introduced Laurie Karnes of Land For Sale, Inc., and Bill Gleason of Eagle Crest Northwest. Ms. Karnes and Mr. Gleason presented a conceptual drawing of their proposal to build 21 detached townhomes. The area would be an association with lawn service and snow removal. It is designed for"empty nesters" or senior adults; the typical buyer is 55 to 70 years old. The average price per home would be $170,000 to $200,000. Mr. McCauley said that a senior cooperative had been previously looked at; however, single family homes for this area had not previously been explored. The Council indicated it would be open to considering the proposal. Mr. McCauley said staff will further explore this concept. • 6/12/00 -2- DRAFT FINANCIAL ISSUES s Mr. McCauley said that an analysis of the source and use of funds would accompany any specific proposal for action on the items that will be developed for possible Council action. 3.

STAFF REPORT RE: TH 100 SEGMENT 4 DESIGN Mr. McCauley explained that Public Works Director Diane Spector would provide an update to the Council on the current state of the preliminary design of Segment 4 to get feedback on the design component. Public Works Director Diane Spector referred to a plan detailing the design features for the preliminary final design for Segment 4 of the Highway 100 Project. Ms. Spector said the construction of Segment 4 has been officially rescheduled for 2003. The bid letting will be in the fall of 2002. There will be some construction in the winter of 2002, including the France Avenue realignment and Canadian Pacific Railroad. Highway 100 will be three lanes in both directions; it will be two lanes north of France Avenue. A noise wall will be constructed in front of The Beach Condos and Twin Lake Park. A storm water detention pond will be constructed in front of The Beach Condos. Access to Indiana Avenue neighborhood will be removed. France Avenue will be realigned and will go up and over Highway 100 and will include a bicycle/pedestrian trail on the east side of the bridge. The ramps will be metered. The Denny's property will be acquired,as there will 06/12/00 -8- DRAFT be no ability to get to it. Construction of the France Avenue bridge will be in 2002. This will tie • in nicely with the neighborhood street im p rovement projects which are also scheduled for 2002. The Joslyn site developer has already consented to the realignment, and Mn/DOT has made initial contacts with NSP and with the owners of Murphy Warehouse and made them aware this is being considered. There is no plan to construct a noise wall along the commercial property at 50th Avenue, unless there is consent of the property owners. This is generally due to the fact that the commercial property prefers the visual access along a highway. Ms. Spector explained that the City's costs for this project are being reviewed. There is a sizable watermain crossing which needs to be relocated. There is a sanitary sewer crossing which may have to be relocated depending on bridge construction. The design elements are a cost to the City, including any aesthetic upgrades such as colored concrete, signage, landscaping, and decorative lighting. Councilmember Nelson raised three issues: 1) France Avenue State aid designation; 2) School District 281 bus routes and involvement;and 3)MCTO bus routes. In response to Councilmember Nelson's issues,Ms. Spector indicated that Azelia becomes the State aid road; School District 281 has received the Environmental Impact Statement and all public meeting notices;and MCTO should not have a problem with the realignment. Councihnember Lasman said she would like to know the reaction of the residents and commercial • property owners with regard to the noise wall along the commercial property near 50th Avenue. Mr. McCauley indicated that staff could explore this issue first with the commercial property owners so as not to create any expectations for the residents since Mn/DOT will not install a noise wall unless the commercial property owners consent. There was a motion by Councilmember Lasman,seconded by Councilmember Peppe to request Staff to explore with commercial property owners in the area of 50th Avenue along Highway 100 their preference for a noise wall. Voting in favor: Mayor Pro Tem Hilstrom and Councilmembers Lasman and Peppe. Voting against: Councilmember Nelson. Motion passed. There was a motion by Councilmember Nelson to table TH 100 Segment 4 design for further citizen input and further study. Council discussed,raising issues of the timeliness and funding of this project. Mr.McCauley said that Mn/DOT has indicated that Mn/DOT is running out of time to maintain the schedule and funding. Ms. Spector said this issue will be brought before the Council for final approval within the next month. All residents and commercial property owners adjacent to the project area have received mailings and the plans are available at their respective City Halls and public libraries for comments and concerns. Mayor Pro Tem Hilstrom stated that the residents have waited a long time for Mn/DOT to consider • 06/12/00 -9- DRAFT Highway 100 reconstruction. It is unacceptable to leave the highway in its current state. The issue will come back before the Council for final approval,and the residents can come forward with their concerns. The aforementioned motion died for lack of a second. There was a motion by Councilmember Lasman,seconded by Councilmember Peppe to report back to Mn/DOT acceptance of the preliminary final design features for TH 100 Segment 4 and to include one additional issue regarding the noise wall along commercial properties which City Staff will further explore. Voting in favor: Mayor Pro Tem Hilstrom and Councilmembers Lasman and Peppe. Votin g against: Councilmember Nelson. Motion passed. 9d.

There were 902 properties found to be in violation, of which 291 have come into compliance. The remaining 611 properties will receive second letters for reinspection. There was a total of 1,391 violations. The success of this code enforcement sweep is attributed to the coordinated efforts of Community Development,Administration, and the Police Department.

The most common violations cited were: accumulation of rubbish/brush/debris;unlicensed/inoperable vehicles; storage of vehicles;accessory buildings;and foundations/exterior walls/roofs.

City Council Agenda Item No. 8 MEMORANDUM • TO: Michael J. McCauley, City Manager FROM: Charlie Hansen, Finance Director DATE: May 22, 2000 SUBJECT: Resolution 2000-61 Amending the 1999 General Fund Budget and Authorizing the Transfer of Surplus Funds From the General Fund to the Public Employees Retirement Fund On March 27, 2000, the City Council passed Resolution 2000-61 which amended the General Fund budget to provide for a transfer of$120,000 to the Employee Retirement Fund to cover a shortfall in that fund. The resolution identified additional revenues in excess of the 1999 budgeted revenues and made the transfer effective on December 31, 1999. Property taxes were one of the revenues identified by the resolution as having a surplus and $80,000 of additional revenues were recognized there. However, the late posting of some 1999 closing journal entries resulted in the apparent surplus in property taxes being reduced to a final number which was still positive, but less than $80,000. The General Fund still had actual revenues which in total exceeded estimated revenues by $163,308. This means the resolution authorizing the transfer of$120,000 was still proper, but should have shifted more of the increase in estimated revenues to other lines besides property taxes. This situation can best be remedied by asking the City Council to further amend the 1999 revenue estimates at the time that they accept the 1999 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. The change can be incorporated into the resolution for that purpose. I recommend that the change should be to reduce the $80,000 increase in estimated property taxes to $44,000 and replace it with the following increases in estimated revenues: Lodging Taxes $18,000 Court Fines $18,000 $36,000 • Member introduced the following resolution and moved its,adoption: • RESOLUTION NO.

Program and to Fund a New Housing Services Project On May 22, 2000,the City Council authorized a public hearing for June 26, 2000 to consider an amendment to the city's 2000 Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)Program. The public hearing notice was published on June 14, 2000 and the hearing is scheduled for the June 26, 2000 City Council meeting. A copy of the hearing notice is included with this memorandum. The amendment proposes to reallocated$27,000 from the Rehabilitation of Private Property Project to a neighborhood public service project serving senior citizens and permanently disabled • persons. The remainder of this memorandum provides background information on the current status of the CDBG regulations and a more detailed discussion of the proposed amendment. Major policy changes have been implemented for all Hennepin County cities in the Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)program,particularly as the program relates to the CDBG program national objectives. The three national objectives of the program,which were in place since the program's inception, in the 1970's,are as follows: 1. Benefit to low and moderate income people 2. Removal of slum and blight 3. Urgent community needs* *This objective has only been used once in Hennepin County after a tornado hit Dayton Minnesota. Two major policy changes have been implemented at the County level for the year 2000 CDBG program. They are as follows: 1. CDBG assisted activities associated with neighborhood revitalization projects • (removal of slum/blight properties) will only be considered a high priority when a minimum of 20%of any housing created or rehabbed through redevelopment will be affordable to low and moderate income households. This would apply to scattered site as well as area slum/blight activities. The reason for this change is to better focus CDBG funding on activities consistent with priorities and to reduce the amount of CDBG used for non low and moderate income benefit activities. 2. The authorizing statute for the CDBG program requires that each funded activity meet one of three national objectives: benefitting low and moderate income persons, preventing or eliminating slums and/or blight and meeting urgent community needs. The statute also states that each grantee must insure that at least 70%of the expenditure during the program year must be used for activities benefitting very low and low income persons. In the past,the County has managed this requirement and individual subrecipient cities did not have to meet this requirement. Due to an increase in the amount of funds allocated and expended on activities removing or preventing slums or blight,the County is no longer able to insure that it can meet the statutory requirement. Therefore,beginning in program year 2000 each city will have to meet this requirement. CURRENT ALLOCATION OF YEAR 2000 CDBG FUNDS After conducting a public hearing on the 2000 CDBG program the City's 2000 CDBG allocation of$240,212 was allocated as follows: 1. Allocation of$231,212 to rehabilitation of private property. This would provide up to • $15,000 per household for rehabilitation and repair of homes of low and moderate income households. The money would be provided as a loan which would be repaid when the house is sold or at the end of 30 years which ever comes first. This would reinstate the Housing Rehabilitation Deferred Loan Program that was funded with CDBG funds since inception of the CDBG program in the mid 1970's through 1998. 2. Allocation of$9,000 for Household Outside Maintenance for the Elderly(H.O.M.E.) program. This project has been part of the CDBG program for six years. The H.O.M.E. program provides minor maintenance and repair for persons 60 years of age and older and/or permanently disabled individuals. CDBG regulations require that the city's CDBG program had to be adopted in March 2000. At the time of the adoption of the 2000 CDBG program, staff indicated it would explore additional alternatives for the use of CDBG funds given the new requirements for CDBG expenditures. Staff has explored the option of using CDBG funds to expand the existing program(Household Outside Maintenance for the Elderly)to provide additional services to senior citizens and those persons who are permanently disabled. One focus of the expanded program would be to address code enforcement issues. Seniors and/or disabled persons who may be unable,physically and financially,to comply with code enforcement orders could seek assistance to achieve compliance. is City staff discussed the expansion of the existing program for senior citizens and/or disabled persons with the Community Emergency Assistance Program and Senior Community Services. Senior Community Services provides services for the existing Household Outside Maintenance for the Elderly (H.O.M.E.)program. After staff met with each organization separately,the two organizations g izations elected to submit anoint proposal to the City for the year 2000 CDBG program. Complete copies of the proposals from CEAP and Senior Community Services are included with this memorandum. A summary of the proposals and related information follows: • Senior Community Services currently provides the CDBG funded Household Outside Maintenance for the Elderly (H.O.M.E.) program service to Brooklyn Center residents who are 60 years of age or older or who are permanently disabled. Services provided include painting, interior and exterior, and minor home maintenance repair including installation of grab bars, and minor repairs including windows, sidewalk,house trim etc. Fees are charged to persons using the services based on a sliding fee scale relative to income pursuant to Department of Housing and Urban Development guidelines for low and moderate income. • The Senior Community Services and CEAP proposals would expand the current services to include chore services such as housekeeping, lawn care, spring and fall raking and snow shoveling, etc. • A major part of the expanded services would address code violation referrals from the City • including referrals from the Brooklyn Center Cares program. CEAP and Senior Community Services will coordinate referrals between the two agencies. CEAP will focus on the less complex code enforcement items and Senior Community Services will address the more complex code enforcement issues up to and including"garbage house" situations. Senior Community Services has experience working with clean up of"garbage houses" in other cities and will have available, its senior outreach program which includes licensed social workers in situations that may call for this type of intervention. • Of the total City 2000 CDBG allocation of$240,212, 15%or$36,031 would be available for public service projects which include the CEAP and Senior Community Services proposals. $9,000 has already been allocated to the H.O.M.E. program for 2000. The proposals from CEAP and Senior Community Services would include $13,500 apiece or $27,000 total. With the $9,000 H.O.M.E. initial program allocation this would be the maximum amount the City council dedicate to additional public service projects for 2000. • The City would need to amend its year 2000 Community Development Grant Program to reallocate $27,000 from the Rehabilitation of Private Property project to the Neighborhood Public Service project. To accomplish this a public hearing must be held. A copy of a public hearing notice is included with this memorandum along with a resolution calling for a public hearing to consider an amendment to the Year 2000 CDBG Program. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. A public hearing has been scheduled for June 26, 2000 and a copy of the hearing notice is included with this memorandum. • Normally,2000 CDBG funds would become available for use by Hennepin Countiy Municipalities on July 1, 2000.This year,Hennepin County submitted its county action plan to the Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD) on June 9, 2000. HUD has 45 days to approve the plan submitted by the c ounty. Therefore,no CDBG funds can be committed to projects until HUD approves the county plan. HUD approval is anticipated in late July 2000. • NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING AMENDMENT OF YEAR 2000 STATEMENT OF PROJECTED USE OF FUNDS FOR THE URBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM Notice is hereby given that Hennepin County and the City of Brooklyn Center will hold a public hearing on June 26,2000 to consider a proposed amendment to the Year 2000 Statement of Projected Use of Funds for the Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant Program, funded under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 as amended. The proposed amendment is the reprogramming of$27,000 from the Rehabilitation of Private Property Project to the Neighborhood Public Service Project. Copies of the proposed funding request and the Urban Hennepin County Citizen Participation Plan are available at City Hall for review prior to the hearing. The hearing is to be held on June 26,2000 at 7 p.m.or as soon thereafter as possible in the City Hall located at 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway,Brooklyn Center Minnesota.

Describe anticipated resultsiaccomplishments project will have. By providing these programs to seniors and disabled persons in Brooklyn Center, CEAP hopes to help them remain in their homes longer. These services are oftentimes the only thing keeping people from having to enter assisted care living situations.

Over 16,000 meals will be delivered and approximately 420 chores will be provided to Brooklyn Center residents In 2000. Measurement of results:We track the actual meals delivered each day on a Meals on Wheels computer program. All chores performed for clients are tracked on a HandyWorks version of Filemaker Pro. We have coordinators for both programs who do intakes on clients, set up client files,track all services and conduct follow up with clients. CEAP also has a senior service outcome initially designed for the United Way.The outcome:Area seniors and disabled persons will feel less isolated and feel more connected with their community and others. We measure this outcome by conducting surveys by phone and mail, at least once per year. Our target is that 75% of our clients will report feeling less isolated.

In the course of executing • a search warrant at this residence, at which stolen property was recovered, there were four dogs on the property that were not confined. As indicated in the materials,there have been several complaints related to the dogs, and the survey of neighbors indicate a general objection to granting a private kennel license based on a number of factors, such as noise,dogs running at large,and feces. In reviewing the log of Police calls to 5649 Brooklyn Boulevard, the Police have responded to several calls at this residence, including what is described as a high risk search warrant entry. This was conducted by the Hennepin County Task Force. Based on the type of dogs involved, Pit Bull and Rottweilers,the objections of the neighbors, the dog at-large, and barking complaints that the Police Department investigated, I denied the license since-it would not appear to be proper to have this number of large and potentially dangerous dogs in a location where the dogs have not been confined or taken care of and where the Police have responded to a number of calls and would have to deal with a number of these types of animals. 6301 Shingle Creek Pkwy, Brooklyn Center, MN 55430-2199 • City Hall & TDD Number(612) 569-3300 Recreation and Community Center Phone& TDD Number(612) 569-3400 •FAX(612) 569-3494 An Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunities Employer Office of the City Clerk City of Brooklyn Center A great place to start.A great place to stay.

MEMORANDUM TO: David Fisher,Building Official FROM: Larry Martin,Building Inspector DATE: 17 April, 2000 RE: Private Kennel License Application for 5649 Brooklyn BLVD. On April 14, 2000 I conducted a health and comfort inspection at 5649 Brooklyn Blvd. the residence of Jean Wessling for a private kennel license. Upon questioning the homeowner I was told that two people (homeowner and her son)reside on the property. Currently they have four dogs (three rottwelers and one pit bull)two which are kept outside and two indoors. The homeowner stated that at the end of this month her son and one dog would be moving out. Upon walking through the home (approx. 1000 sgft.)I found it to be in fair condition on the inside although an illegal bedroom was noted in the basement. The overall condition of the yard was poor, debris was scattered around and some touch-ups to the exterior of the home are required. The back yard is enclosed by a new six foot privacy fence and a dog kennel (approx 150 sqft) is constructed of six foot chain link fencing. After completing the home inspection I was able to speak with one of neighbors. They seemed to speak for the neighborhood and stated that In the past the dogs barked a lot but since the new fence has been in place the dogs have been quiet. They did however complain about the overall condition of the house and yard. I am of the opinion that a kennel license should not be issued at this time and that the homeowner needs to address the clean-up and repairs as required by; a.

McCauley City Manager May 8,2000 Ms. Jean Marie Wessling 5649 Brooklyn Boulevard Brooklyn Center,MN 55429 RE: Private Kennel License Application Dear Ms. Wessling: I have received your application for a private kennel license dated April 3, 2000. In accordance with Brooklyn Center City Ordinances,notice of the license application was mailed to property owners within 150 feet of the proposed kennel. The Police Department and Inspection Department submitted reports on the proposed kennel with relation to health and safety issues. The purpose of the ordinance is to provide the owner of more than two dogs exceeding six months of age residing in the family dwelling unit or on the family premises a period of time,not to exceed three years, in which to find a place where the animals can be legally,safely,and humanely harbored. After considering your application and the purpose of the ordinance,please be informed that I am denying your request for a private kennel license to house three or more dogs on your residential premises. You will be allowed until August 7, 2000,to come into compliance with City Ordinances which require no more than two dogs on your premises. I find that the issuance of this license would have an adverse affect on the health,safety,welfare,or property values of persons residing, living, or owning property within the immediate area. You should also be aware there are other City Ordinances which require Brooklyn Center residents to control barking and other nuisances generated by the keeping of pets, such as dogs, on their property. We expect all citizens will be in compliance with these requirements. Dog owners are particularly responsible for barking of their dogs and causing a nuisance to their neighbors. 6301 Shingle Creek Pkwy,Brooklyn Center, MN 55430-2199 • City Hall & TDD Number(612) 569-3300 Recreation and Community Center Phone& TDD Number(612)569-3400 •FAX(612)569-3494 An Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunities Employer Ms. Jean Mane Wessling Page 2 May 8,2000 Under Brooklyn Center City Ordinances,the City Manager's decision in these matters is appealable to the City Council.

McCauley, City Manager ec' is From: Ronald A. Warren, Planning and Zoning p l Subject: City Council Consideration Item - Planning Commission Application No. 2000- 013 Date: June 21, 2000 On the June 26, 2000 City Council Agenda is Planning Commission Application No. 2000-013 submitted by Frauenshuh Companies requesting Preliminary Plat approval to combine two parcels of land at 6421 and 6437 Brooklyn Boulevard into a single parcel to accommodate redevelopment of the Brookpark Dental Center. Attached for your review are copies of the Planning Commission Information Sheet for Planning Commission Application No. 2000-013 and also an area map showing the location of • the property under consideration, the Planning Commission minutes relating to the Commission's consideration of this matter and other supporting documents. This matter was considered by the Planning Commission at their June 15, 2000 meeting and was recommended for approval. It is recommended that the City Council, following consideration of this matter, approve the application subject to the conditions recomended by the Planning Commission. • Application Filed on 5-19-00 City Council Action Should Be Taken By 7-18-00 (60 Days) Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 2000-013 Applicant: Frauenshuh Companies Location: 6421 and 6437 Brooklyn Boulevard Request: Preliminary Plat The applicant, Frauenshuh Companies, is seeking preliminary plat approval to combine two parcels of land into a single parcel to accommodate a redevelopment of the Brookpark Dental Center. The properties under consideration are 6421 and 6437 Brooklyn Boulevard which are adjacent to one another and are located at the southwest corner of 65th Avenue North and Brooklyn Boulevard. They are bounded on the west by R-5 zoned property containing an apartment complex; on the north by 65th Avenue with a Park and Ride facility on the north side of the street; on the east by Brooklyn Boulevard with Garden City School on the opposite side of the street; and on the south by C-1 property containing an office building. The properties in question are currently legally described as Lot 1,Block 1,Park Dental Addition i (6437) and Lot 2, Block 1, Park Dental Addition(6421). Lot 1 is the site of the Brookpark Dental Center containing a one story building with a basement and a parking lot. Lot 2 contains a vacant single family home and garage which was recently rezoned by the City Council to C-1 (Service/Office)under Planning Commission Application No. 2000-011. This parcel is currently owned by the Brooklyn Center Economic Development Authority(EDA) and will be sold for the proposed combination under this preliminary plat. Plans are to demolish the single family home and garage and redevelop the site for a new Brookpark Dental Center. A forthcoming application for site and building plan approval will be submitted for Planning Commission and City Council review and approval. Lot 1 is a non-rectangular parcel of approximately 37,623.5 sq. ft. in area. Lot 2 is 75 ft. by 166.5 ft. or 12,487.5 sq. ft. in area. Once combined the total area of the proposed lot will be 50,111 sq. ft. or 1.15 acres in area. The new proposed legal description is Lot 1, Block 1, Dental Center 2nd Addition. The combining of these two lots will create a lot which exceeds the minimum lot area for C-1 (Service/Office) development along a major thoroughfare(Brooklyn Boulevard). The zoning ordinance requires lots along a major thoroughfare which are proposed for C-1 use to have a minimum of 150 ft. of frontage and be one acre in area. Prior to this combination,the Brookpark Dental Center site was substandard with respect to lot area. • 6-15-00 Page 1 • Because the properties in question are less than five acres in area no review by the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission is required with respect to this platting. The City Engineer is reviewing the preliminary plat and has referred a copy of it to Hennepin County,who is the road authority for Brooklyn Boulevard, for their review and comment. The site is served by all utilities and it is not anticipated that there will be any problems with the combination. A public hearing has been scheduled for this preliminary plat application and notice of the Planning Commission's consideration has been published in the Brooklyn Center Sun/Post. RECOMMENDATION The proposed preliminary plat appears to be in order and approval of this application is recommended subject to at least the following conditions: 1. The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. 2. The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City Ordinances. • • 6-15-00 Page 2 I INS` low ....

CHAIR'S EXPLANATION • Chair Willson explained the Planning Commission's role as an advisory body. One of the Commission's functions is to hold public hearings. In the matters concerned in these hearings,the Commission makes recommendations to the City Council. The City Council makes all final decisions in these matters. APPLICATION NO 2000-013 -FRAUENSHUH COMPANIES Chair Willson introduced Application No. 2000-013, a request for preliminary plat approval to combine two parcels of land into a single parcel to accommodate a redevelopment of the Brookpark Dental Center. Mr. Warren suggested tabling the item since the applicant was not present. He mentioned that the applicant is aware that their presence is required. Chair Willson stated that he also suggests tabling the item since the applicant is aware that their presence is required. 05-11-00 Page 1 Motion by Commissioner Boeck, seconded by Commissioner Reem,to table Application 2000- 013 to the next Planning Commission meeting on June 29, 2000. The motion passed unanimously. Mr. Warren stated that this is not a City application and like the previous rezoning,the property will be owned by Frauenshuh Companies. He mentioned that he hasn't had any recent conversations with them to understand their absence,however,they were informed and notified. Commissioner Erdmann questioned if this will be the procedure taken in the future when other applicants are absent. The Planning Commission agreed that if the applicant is not present then the item should be tabled until the next meeting. The applicant arrived at 7:45 p.m. Chair Willson asked for approval from the Commission to discuss Application 2000-013 since the applicant arrived 15 minutes late. Motion by Commissioner Erdmann, seconded by Commissioner Newman,to bring Application 2000-013 off the table. Voting in favor: Chair Willson,Commissioners Erdmann,Reem,Newman, and Rahn.

(See Planning Commission Information Sheet dated 6/15/00 for Application No. 2000-013 attached.) He explained that combining these two lots will create a lot which exceeds the minimum lot area for a C-1 development-along a major thoroughfare,however prior to this combination,the Brookpark Dental Center site was substandard with respect to the lot area. PUBLIC HEARING—APPLICATION 2000-013 There was a motion by Commissioner Newman, seconded by Commissioner Rahn,to open the public hearing on Application No. 2000-0.13,at 7:54 p.m. The motion passed unanimously. Chair Willson called for comments from the public. Dean Williamson, 7101 West 78th Street, Bloomington,represented Frauenshuh Companies. He introduced himself as the applicant and offered to answer any questions. 05-11-00 Page 2 • Commissioner Boeck questioned if Frauenshuh Companies is currently the sole owner of the property. Mr. Williamson stated that Park Dental owns their current building, and the City owns the adjacent property. He explained that they will be the new owners once the land is combined. Mr. Warren stated that the house and garage will be demolished first. Once the construction is completed on the new dental center it will also be demolished. He mentioned that they hope the down time will be minimal while moving into the new dental center. Commissioner Boeck questioned who or what Frauenshuh Companies represents. Mr. Williamson explained that the company is a commercial real estate service. No other persons from the public appeared before the Commission during the public hearing on Application No. 2000-013.

McCauley, City Man ager FROM: Sharon Knutson, City Clerk DATE: May 5,2000 SUBJECT: Chapter 1 of City Ordinances Relating to Animals (dogs and cats) Chapter 1 of the City Ordinances regulates the number of animals (cats and dogs) a resident is allowed to keep and also provides for private kennel licenses for residents who keep more than the allowed number of animals. Over the years there have been numerous amendments to the ordinance to clarify the intent of the ordinance which is to limit the number of animals in a residential area but provide a time period which allows residents to come into compliance with the ordinance(issue private kennel license). The procedure for considering a private kennel license is unclear as it relates to the criteria for which the license is either approved or denied. The City Manager can either approve or deny the license, and based on the intent of the City Ordinances to limit the number of animals a resident is allowed to keep, the City Manager has denied issuance of the license. However,a resident can appeal to the City Council and request a public hearing. Neighbors within 150 feet of the applicant are notified and surveyed regarding the private kennel license application. The survey is a tool which helps to determine if there are issues related to dogs which are public nuisances(i.e.,dog feces,barking,running at large,biting,etc.). The Police Department conducts a records check on animal complaints at the property address, and the Community Development Department conducts an inspection for health and safety issues. When an appeal is received and a public hearing is requested,the City Council must review the information submitted, receive public input, and either approve or deny the license application, with or without additional conditions. The decision to approve or deny a private kennel license is based on the information submitted;however,the criteria used to determine approval or denial is not consistent. For a period of time there was consistency among Council Members to deny private kennel licenses based on the intent to limit animals in residential areas. At the last public hearing for a private kennel license, the application was approved even though there were neighborhood surveys returned claiming public nuisances. Attached is a matrix which depicts a few other metro area city ordinances relating to limiting cats and dogs and private kennels. History of Brooklyn Center's Animal Ordinance In reviewing amendments to the City's animal ordinance,following is a brief recap relating to private kennel licenses/keeping of animals. 6301 Shingle Creek Pkwy, Brooklyn Center, MN 55430-2199 • City Hall & TDD Number(612) 569-3300 Recreation and Community Center Phone& TDD Number (612) 569-3400 •FAX(612) 569-3494 An Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunities Employer • Memo to Michael J. McCauley May 5,2000 Page 2 • Current - Chapter 1 of the City Ordinances provides that a family may obtain a private kennel license to have more than two dogs exceeding six months of age; private kennel license not to exceed three years. The application is forwarded to the City Manager for approval or denial. The applicant may request a public hearing before the City Council if the City Manager denies the license. • May 13, 1991 - Chapter 1 amended to authorize the City Manager to approve or deny private kennel licenses instead of a required public hearing before the City Council. The applicant may request a public hearing before the City Council if the City Manager denies the license. • September 27, 1982-Chapter 1 amended to allow private kennel licenses to be issued to a person with more than two dogs exceeding six months of age. The process required a public hearing before the City Council. Language regarding keeping of dogs was amended to allow a family to keep no more than two dogs exceeding six months of age on the family premises without obtaining a private kennel license,not to exceed three years. • August 19, 1974 -Chapter 1 amended to allow no more than two dogs exceeding six months of • age on the family premises—no private kennel licenses addressed in ordinance. • Prior to August 1974 - Chapter 1 provides for kennel license which requires every person who owns or keeps three or more dogs exceeding six months of age to obtain a kennel license—the maximum number of dogs permitted to be kept in a licensed kennel is five-any person may apply for special permission to keep more than five dogs, but not to exceed ten. The length of time the applicant has to keep more than three dogs is not addressed. Other City Ordinance Regulations on Private Kennels Following is a summary of the ordinances for the cities of Coon Rapids,Crystal,Fridley, and Maple Grove relating to procedures for kennels. Coon Rapids •Multiple Pet Location is the term used for residential kennels *Multiple Pet Permit is issued rather than license *Multiple Pet Permit may be issued provided the property is five(5)acres in size and the proposed operation will not adversely affect surrounding properties -Fencing is required for Multiple Pet Permit; however, it excludes cats -Dog housing and runs must be a minimum of 10 feet from property line *Applicant must state method used to keep premises in a sanitary condition -Applicant must state method used to keep animals quiet • -City Council public hearing is required and shall take into consideration the following: ■adequacy of housing and space for the animals Memo to Michael J. McCauley May 5, 2000 Page 3 ■methods to be used for sanitation control and to maintain quiet ■quality and height of fencing or the adequacy of an alternative confinement method ■with respect to an initial permit, any complaints, stated with particularity, regarding the applicant's keeping or maintenance of animals at the premises ■with respect to a permit renewal,any violations or complaints stated with particularity during.the previous permit period Note: Coon Rapids City Ordinance has a good introductory paragraph regarding limiting animals as follows: Because the keeping of three (3) or more dogs, cats, or any combination thereof, on the same premises is subject to great abuse, causing discomfort to persons in the area, by way of smell, noise, hazard, and general aesthetic depreciation, and because the irresponsible maintenance of three or more animals within a residential area has been the source of a variety of complaints, the keeping of three (3) or more dogs, cats, or any combination thereof, one (1)premises is hereby declared to be a nuisance. Crystal -Private Kennel License is term used for kennels -Maximum number of dogs or cats that may be kept in a private kennel is five(5) • -Private Kennel may not be located within 50 feet of an existing restaurant -City Council may require that an applicant for a private kennel license show evidence that abutting property owners have been informed of applicant's intentions Fridley -Kennel License is term used for kennels -Applicant must be 200 feet from public place where food is bought, stored, or eaten and from any building structure suitable for human habitation -Fencing is required and must be of such quality and design so that it will contain the dogs/cats -Applicant must state method to be used in keeping the premises in a sanitary condition -Applicant must state method to be used in keeping the dogs and/or cats quiet -City has discretion in issuing the Kennel License and shall take into consideration the adequacy of housing, the runs for the animals, the method used for sanitation, the method used to keep the animals quiet,the facilities for containing the animals and with particularity, any violations during the previous license period Maple Grove *Private Kennel License is the term used for kennels -No more than 3 dogs may be kept -No more than 3 cats may be kept -Kennel shall be maintained in a clean and quiet manner • •Inspection of the premises required •Police Chief issues the private kennel license,no prior Council action • Memo to Michael J. McCauley May 5, 2000 Page 4 Under the ordinances of the cities of Coon Rapids and Fridley with the five-acre minimum lot requirement and 200-foot distance requirement,there would be very few,if any,residential properties in Brooklyn Center which would meet the distance/acreage requirements to be granted a private kennel license. Other Ordinance Modifications for Consideration In reviewing the other metro city ordinances,I noticed language which defined animals which are prohibited or considered public nuisances. Brooklyn Center Ordinances do not specifically list animals which are prohibited or considered public nuisances. Chapter 1 deals with cats and dogs; Chapter 19 deals with public nuisances. The City receives inquiries regarding keeping other types of animals besides cats and dogs. Some of the more recent calls related to llamas,pot belly pigs, ferrets,and ostriches. The Customer Service Representatives refer to the City Ordinances and decipher whether or not certain types of animals fall into the public nuisance category. It would be beneficial for the Customer Service Representatives to be able to identify what animals are specifically listed in the ordinance as prohibited,with the understanding that all types would not be listed. Brooklyn Center Section 19-104 reads as follows: Section 19-104. LIMITATIONS ONKEEPING OFANIMALS. It is hereby declared to be a public nuisance to permit, maintain or harbor any of the following: • I. Three or more dogs, six months old or older, unless a kennel license is obtained. 2. Four or more cats six months old or older, unless a kennel license is obtained. 3. Chickens and other domestic fowl. 4. Live wild animals not native to Minnesota, except household pets confined to a cage within a dwelling. 5. Live wild animals native to Minnesota which in their wild state pose a threat to humans or domestic animals, including but not limited to, wolves, bear, cougar, lynx and bobcat. 6 Any combination of animals and/or fowl of any age kept in such numbers or under conditions which unreasonably annoy, injure, or endanger the health, safety, comfort, repose or welfare of the public or of said animals or fowl. Following are excerpts from ordinances from other communities which specify types of animals considered to be dangerous,wild, or non-domestic. Anoka -No pig, horse, sheep, bear, lion, tiger, leopard, puma, lynx, ocelot,jaguar, cheetah, goat, swine, mule,wolf,cattle,or any animal of vicious habits or likely to cause injury to any person shall be kept within the city limits. Champlin -No person shall keep,harbor,or maintain care,custody,or control over any horse,cow, sheep,pig, . goat, or any other hoofed animal, chicken, duck, goose, or other agricultural animal or fowl any place in the City. No person shall keep, maintain, or permit to be kept within the City any of the Memo to Michael J. McCauley May 5, 2000 Page 5 following animals: wild animal,reptile or fowl,which is not naturally tame or gentle but is of a wild nature or disposition in which because of its size, vicious nature, or other characteristics would constitute a danger to human life or property. Examples of such wild animals are (but not limited to these examples): bears, lions,tigers,jaguars, leopards,cougars,ocelots,wolves, foxes, coyotes, dingoes, jackals, bison, panthers, apes, large alligators and crocodiles (bigger than four feet in length),rattlesnakes,coral snakes,water moccasins,cobras,raccoons, ferrets, and skunks. Fridley -No person shall keep or allow to be kept in the City: A) any animal of a vicious nature or with a propensity,tendency,or disposition to attack,to cause injury or to otherwise endanger the safety of human beings or domestic animals; or B) any animals which attacks a human being or a domestic animal on two or more occasions without provocation or on a single occasion where substantial bodily harm on a human being is inflicted without provocation; or C)any non-domesticated animal not naturally tame or gentle,but is of wild nature or disposition, including any of the following: (a) any animal or species prohibited by federal or Minnesota Law; (b) any non-domesticated animal or species, including,but not limited,to the following: (1) any skunk,whether captured in the wild, domestically raised,de-scented or no de-scented,vaccinated against rabies or not vaccinated against rabies; (2) any large cat of the family Felidae such as lions,tigers,jaguars, leopards, cougars, and . ocelots,except commonly accepted domesticated house cats;(3)any member of the family Canidae, such as wolves,foxes,coyotes,dingoes,and jackals,except commonly accepted domesticated dogs; (4)any poisonous snake,pit viper or constrictor,such as a rattle snake, coral snake,water moccasin, cobra,boa constrictor,or python; (5)any raccoon;(6)any other animal which is not listed explicitly above,but which can reasonably be defined by the terms of this code, including bears and badgers. Golden Valley - "Farm Animals"defined: cattle,horses,mules, sheep,goats,swine,ponies,ducks, geese,turkeys, chickens, guinea hens, and honey bees. - "Animals" defined: includes farm animals and all other animals, reptiles, and feathered birds or fowl except dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, and cages household birds. -It is unlawful-for any person to keep or harbor any animal, not in transit, except(1) animals kept as part of a show licensed under the City Code, or(2) animals used in a parade for which a permit has been issued,or,(3)animals kept in a laboratory for scientific or experimental purposes, or, (4) animals kept in an animal hospital or clinic or treatment by a licensed veterinarian. Brooklyn Center's regulations and procedures for private kennel licenses are quite different from those of other cities. Each City Ordinance is unique in its regulation of animals and was probably created based on the needs of the City,changing zoning classifications,and resident situations.

I am pleased to report that the White House Millennium Council and its partnership of public agencies, nonprofit organizations, and private companies,has designated the Shingle Creek Trail a Community Millennium Trail, one of 2,000 they hope to designate nationwide. The primary partners in this endeavor are the White House Millennium Council,the US Department of Transportation,the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy,the National Endowment for the Arts,the National Park Service,the American Hiking Society, and American Express. I have requested but not yet received a listing of other Community Trails in Minnesota. I've heard through the grapevine that the 29th Avenue Greenway and the Root River Trail have been . designated as well, so Shingle Creek is in good company. Aside from the recognition, an advantage of designation.is that there are TEA-21 (the successor to ISTEA,the federal highway aid program) funds specially set aside for Millennium Trails. I am investigating the possibility of obtaining grant funds to assist in both general improvements, such as raising settled areas of the trail, and also enhancements, such as a picnic shelter, interpretive kiosks, etc. at the trail head at Palmer Lake Park. • WHITE HOUSE MILLENNIUM COUNCIL Honor the Past—Imagine the Future June 3, 2000 Dear Millennium Trail: Congratulations on the selection of your trail as an official Community Millennium Trail This is an exciting moment in human history—the beginning of a new century and the next millennium.
