8. PUBLIC HEARING •
8a. RESOLUTION APPROVING A LEVY CERTIFICATION TAX RATE
INCREASE
City Manager Michael McCauley discussed that this public hearing and resolution adoption is
required before a levy certification tax rate increase is allowed. The State had a concern over past
claims by some cities that they made no increase in property tax rates. This happened even though
cities certified an increase in the dollars levied as property tax, but the tax base grew enough that the
tax rate did not increase. There is a complicated calculation required in which the County computes
what the tax revenue would be if there were no increase in tax base and compares that to the
preliminary tax levy. Any increase shown by this calculation requires the City to hold a public
hearing and pass a resolution acknowledging that the preliminary tax levy represents a tax increase.
A motion by Councilmember Peppe, seconded by Councilmember Hilstrom to open the Public
Hearing. Motion passed una irnously.
No one wished to address the Council.
A motion by Councilmember Lasman, seconded by Councilmember Hilstrom to close the Public
Hearing. Motion passed unanimously.
RESOLUTION NO. 2000-165 .

" Sav i ng Women Lives
In the developing world the complications of pregnancy kill more than 600,000
women a year. That is one woman every single minute because so many lack the
most basic health care. One woman in nine will die in pregnancy or childbirth in
Niger and Rwanda, whereas only one in 7,300 will die in Norway and one in 3,500
in the United States. These same women are also less likely to have access to, or
use modem contraception that could prevent the pregnancies that are killing them.
Access to family planning and education are the two most important determinants
of the well being of mothers and their children. The Population Institute is
dedicating World Population Awareness Week to the issues of " Saving Women's

Re: Recommendations for the Issuance of $735,000 General Obligation Improvement
Bonds, Series 2000A
We recommend the following for the bonds:
1. Action Requested To establish the date and time of receiving
bids and establish the terms and conditions
of the offering.
2. Sale Date and Time Monday, November 20, 2000, at 12:00 noon,
with award by the City Council at 7:00 P.M.
that same evening.
3. Authority and Purpose for the Bond Issue The Bonds are being issued pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 475 and 429.
The proceeds will be used to finance three
improvement projects within the City.
4. Principal Amount of Offering $735,000.
5. Repayment Term The first interest payment on the Bonds is
due August 1, 2001. Principal on the Bonds
will be due annually February 1, 2002
through 2011.
6. Sources of Payment The Bonds are expected to be repaid solely
from special assessments against benefited
property. Special assessments will be filed
on approximately November 30, 2000 for
first collection in 2001. First half - collections
will be used to make the August interest
payments with second half - collections and
excess first -half collections making the
February 1 principal and interest payments.
7. Prepayment Provisions The City may elect on February 1, 2008, and
on any day thereafter, to prepay the Bonds
due on or after February 1, 2009 at a price
of par plus accrued interest.
8. Credit Rating Comments An application will be made to Moody's
Investors Service for a rating on the Bonds.
The City's general obligation rating is
currently rated "Al" by Moody's Investors
Service.

9. Federal Treasury Regulations
Concerning Tax - Exempt Obligations
(a) Bank Under Federal Tax Law, financial institutions
cannot deduct from income for federal income
tax purposes, expense that is allocable to
carrying and acquiring tax - exempt bonds.
There is an exemption to this for "bank qualified"
bonds, which can be so designated if the issuer
does not issue more than $10 million of tax
exempt bonds in a calendar year. Issues that
are bank qualified generally receive slightly
lower interest rates than issues that are not
bank qualified. This issue is designated as bank
qualified.
Rebate Requirements (b ) All tax-exempt are subject to the federal j
q p J
arbitrage and rebate requirements. However,
9 q
s.
since the City expects to issue less than
$5,000,000 in tax - exempt financings in 2000,
the City will be exempt from rebating excess
earnings on the Bond proceeds to the U.S.
Treasury if 100% of the proceeds are expended
within 36 months of issuance.
(c) Bona Fide Debt Service Fund The City must maintain a bona fide debt service
fund for the bonds or be subject to yield
restriction. This requires restricting the
investments held in the debt service fund to the
yield on the Bonds and /or paying back excess
investment earnings in the debt service fund to
the federal government. A bona fide debt
service fund is a fund for which there is an equal
matching of revenue to debt service expense,
with carry over permitted equal to the greater of
the investment earnings in the fund during that
year or 1/12 the debt service of that year.
(d) Economic Life The average life of the Bonds cannot exceed
120% of the economic life of the projects to be
financed. The economic life of the
improvements is 20 years. The average life of
the Bonds is 5.459 years. Therefore, the issue
is within the economic life requirements.
(e) Federal Reimbursement Federal reimbursement regulations require the
Regulations City to make a declaration, within 60 days of the
actual payment, of its intent to reimburse itself
from expenses paid prior to the receipt of bond
proceeds. It is our understanding the City has
taken whatever actions are necessary to comply
with the federal reimbursement regulations in
regards to the Bonds.

10. Continuing Disclosure The Bonds are subject to the continuing
disclosure requirements. The SEC rules require
the City to undertake an annual update of its
Official Statement information and report any
material events to the national repositories.
However, since this issue is below $1,000,000,
the City is allowed to exempt this issue from
disclosure requirements. Although this issue
qualifies for an exemption, we recommend the
City elect full disclosure. By doing so, more
underwriter's are qualified to submit bids to
purchase the Bonds. Springsted currently
provides continuing disclosure services to the
City. We have provided City staff with a
contract amendment to include this issue.
11. Attachments Project Listing /Composition of the Issue
• Projected Assessment Income Schedule(s)
• Debt Service ScheduleTerms of Proposal
DISCUSSION
The proceeds of the Bonds will be used to finance three improvement projects in various areas
of the City. The projects financed by the Bonds and the composition of the issue is shown on
page 5. Included in the principal amount of the issue are the costs of issuance and the
allowance for discount bidding.
The projection of assessment income is shown on pages 6 through 9 of these
recommendations. The City expects to file special assessments, totaling $735,000 of principal,
on or before November 30, 2000 for first collection in 2001. Assessments will be spread over a
term of 10 years in even annual principal payments with interest charged on the unpaid balance
at a rate of 7 %. The City has analyzed previous improvement issues and realizes there is a
strong potential for assessments to be prepaid after the interest free period. Therefore, the City
has decided to reduce the assessments by the estimated amount of additional prepayments.
This can be seen on page 5 as "Estimated Prepayments after 30 days ".
The principal repayment structure and projected debt service schedule for this issue is shown
on page 10. Columns 1 through 6 show the years and amounts of principal and estimated
interest due on the Bonds, including the 5% overlevy. The overlevy is required by state Statute
as a protection to the City and the bondholder in the event of delinquencies in the collection of
special assessments for repayment of the Bonds. Column 7 shows the projection of
assessment income from pages 5 through 8. Column 8 shows the surplus of funds available
each year, assuming the full amount levied is collected.
Page 3
City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota
October 19, 2000
The August 1 interest payments are expected to be repaid from first -half assessment
collections; second -half collections plus surplus first -half collections are expected to pay the
February 1 principal and interest payments. Although the Bonds are general obligation of the
City, the City does not expect to levy taxes for repayment of the bonds.

prepaid. DTC will determine by lot the amount of each participant's interest in such maturity to
be redeemed and each participant will then select by lot the beneficial ownership interests in
such maturity to be redeemed. All prepayments shall be at a price of par plus accrued interest.
SECURITY AND PURPOSE
The Bonds will be general obligations of the City for which the City will pledge its full faith and
credit and power to levy direct general ad valorem taxes. In addition the City will pledge special
assessments against benefitted properties. The proceeds will be used to finance three
improvement projects within the City.
TYPE OF PROPOSALS
Proposals shall be for not less than $727,650 and accrued interest on the total principal amount
of the Bonds. Proposals shall be accompanied by a Good Faith Deposit ( "Deposit ") in the form
of a certified or cashier's check or a Financial Surety Bond in the amount of $7,350, payable to
the order of the City. If a check is used, it must accompany the proposal. If a Financial Surety
Bond is used, it must be from an insurance company licensed to issue such a bond in the State
of Minnesota, and preapproved by the City. Such bond must be submitted to Springsted
Incorporated prior to the opening of the proposals. The Financial Surety Bond must identify
each underwriter whose Deposit is guaranteed by such Financial Surety Bond. If the Bonds are
awarded to an underwriter using a Financial Surety Bond, then that purchaser is required to
submit its Deposit to Springsted Incorporated in the form of a certified or cashier's check or wire
transfer as instructed by Springsted Incorporated not later than 3:30 P.M., Central Time, on the
next business day following the award. If such Deposit is not received by that time, the
Financial Surety Bond may be drawn by the City to satisfy the Deposit requirement. The City
will deposit the check of the purchaser, the amount of which will be deducted at settlement and
no interest will accrue to the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to comply with the
accepted proposal, said amount will be retained by the City. No proposal can be withdrawn or
amended after the time set for receiving proposals unless the meeting of the City scheduled for
award of the Bonds is adjourned, recessed, or continued to another date without award of the
Bonds having been made. Rates shall be in integral multiples of 5/100 or 1/8 of 1 %. Rates
must be in level or ascending order. Bonds of the same maturity shall bear a single rate from

interest cost (TIC) basis. The City's computation of the interest rate of each proposal, in
accordance with customary practice, will be controlling.

matters relating to the receipt of proposals and award of the Bonds, (ii) reject all proposals
without cause, and, (iii) reject any proposal which the City determines to have failed to comply
with the terms herein.
CUSIP NUMBERS
If the Bonds qualify for assignment of CUSIP numbers such numbers will be printed on the
Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect
thereto will constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery of the
Bonds. The CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of CUSIP identification numbers
shall be paid by the purchaser.
SETTLEMENT
Within 40 days following the date of their award, the Bonds will be delivered without cost to the

litigation certificate. On the date of settlement, payment for the Bonds shall be made in federal,
or equivalent, funds which shall be received at the offices of the City or its designee not later
than 12:00 Noon, Central Time. Except as compliance with the terms of payment for the Bonds
shall have been made impossible by action of the City, or its agents, the purchaser shall be
liable to the City for any loss suffered by the City by reason of the purchaser's non - compliance
with said terms for payment.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
On the date of actual issuance and delivery of the Bonds, the City will execute and deliver .a
Continuing Disclosure Undertaking (the "Undertaking ") whereunder the City will covenant for
the benefit of the owners of the Bonds to provide certain financial and other information about
the City and notices of certain occurrences to information repositories as specified in and
required by SEC Rule 15c2- 12(b)(5).
OFFICIAL STATEMENT
The City has authorized the preparation of an Official Statement containing pertinent
information relative to the Bonds, and said Official Statement will serve as a nearly -final Official
Statement within the meaning of Rule 15c2 -12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
For copies of the Official Statement or for any additional information prior to sale, any
prospective purchaser is referred to the Financial Advisor to the City, Springsted Incorporated,
85 East Seventh Place, Suite 100, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101, telephone (651) 223 -3000.
The Official Statement, when further supplemented by an addendum or addenda specifying the
maturity dates, principal amounts and interest rates of the Bonds, together with any other
information required by law, shall constitute a "Final Official Statement" of the City with respect
to the Bonds, as that term is defined in Rule 15c2 -12. By awarding the Bonds to any
underwriter or underwriting syndicate submitting a proposal therefor, the City agrees that, no
more than seven business days after the date of such award, it shall provide without cost to the

proposal is accepted by the City (i) it shall accept such designation and (ii) it shall enter into a
contractual relationship with all Participating Underwriters of the Bonds for purposes of assuring
the receipt by each such Participating Underwriter of the Final Official Statement.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Michael J. McCauley, City Manager
\
FROM: Ronald A. Warren, Planning and Zoning Speci ist '
SUBJECT: An Ordinance Amending Chapter 35 of the City Ordinances Regarding Building
Setbacks Along Major Thoroughfares
DATE: September 20, 2000
On the September 25, 2000, City Council Agenda is a recommended ordinance amendment that
would modify building setbacks for commercial buildings located along major thoroughfares in
the city. Over the past 2 /Z years the City has granted a number of variances beginning with the
new fire station at 63rd and Brooklyn Boulevard to allow building setbacks for commercial
buildings along major thoroughfares to be less than 50 ft.
The primary justification for the granting of these variances was two Brooklyn Boulevard studies
undertaken by the City since 1993 that had provided various recommendations to encourage
redevelopment along Brooklyn Boulevard. Both of these studies recommended that the City
allow non - residential buildings h the boulevard corridor to be built closer to the street right of
way than the current 50 ft. building setback. One study even favored the City establishing a
•
specific building setback closer than the 50 ft. line that would be a required setback for all non-
e g _
residential structures located in the corridor.
Variances to allow a 35 ft. setback rather than the 50 ft. setback for commercial buildings on
other major thoroughfares (Xerxes and County Road 10) were granted for the Brookdale
redevelopment Planned Unit Development and the Brookdale Comer redevelopment, which
included Cub and other commercial buildings. In each of these cases, the same justification as
for the fire station was used. Most recently the Frauenshuh redevelopment of the Brookpark
Dental Center was granted a variance from the major thoroughfare setback requirement to allow
a 35 ft. setback rather than a 50 ft. setback.
Plans are to create an overlay ordinance to deal with Brooklyn Boulevard development and
redevelopment which has yet to be established. In the meantime, the Planning Commission has
recommended that the zoning ordinance be amended to reflect the building setback precedent
that has been established by these variances being granted to allow non -major thoroughfare
setbacks for commercial buildings along major thoroughfares rather than to address these matters
separately as variance requests.
The Planning Commission considered this ordinance amendment at its September 14, 2000,
meeting and recommended approval of this ordinance amendment at that time. It is
recommended that the City Council consider this matter for first reading and direct publication of
the proposed amendment and set a public hearing date.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held on the 23rd day of October, 2000, at 7:00
p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard at the City Hall, 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway,
to consider an Ordinance Amending Chapter 35 of the City Ordinances regarding building setbacks
along major thoroughfares.
Auxiliary aids for persons with disabilities are available upon request at least 96 hours in advance.
Please contact the City Clerk at 763 -569 -3300 to make arrangements.

MEMO

From: Ronald A. Warren, Planning and Zoning Spe 'list i' fwd
Subject: City Council Consideration Item - Planning Commission Application No. 2000-
022
Date: October 18, 2000
On the October 23, 2000 City Council Agenda is Planning Commission Application No. 2000-
022 submitted by Mid Continent Management Corporation on behalf of the owner, Commers-
Clover II, LLP requesting Site and Building Plan approval to to construct an 11 stall garage on
.the property addressed 6331, 6401 and 6425 Beard Avenue North.
Attached for your review are copies of the Planning Commission Information Sheet for
Planning Commission Application No. 2000 -022 and also an area map showing the location of
the property under consideration, various site and building plans for the proposed
development, 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 October 12, 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 recommendations by the Planning Commission.
•
• Application Filed on 9 -28 -00
City Council Action Should Be
Taken By 11 -27 -00 (60 Days)
Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 2000 -022
Applicant: Mid Continent Management Corporation
Location: 6331, 6401 and 6425 Beard Avenue North
Request: Site and Building Plan Approval
The applicant, Mid Continent Management Corporation on behalf of the owner, Commers-
Clover II, LLP, is seeking site and building plan approval to construct an 11 stall garage on the
property addressed 6331, 6401 and 6425 Beard Avenue North. The property in question is zoned
R -5 (Multiple Family Residence) and is located on the west side of Beard Avenue, south of 65th
- Avenue North. It is surrounded by 65th Avenue on the north, with single family homes on t e
opposite side of the street; Beard Avenue on the east with single family homes on the opposite
side of the street; the Rainbow development complex which s zoned C -2 on the south; and other
R -5 zoned property containing the Garden City Court Apartments on the west.
The proposed plan is to replace 12 existing surface parking spaces located in the parking lot
between the 6401 and 6425 Beard;,,Avenue buildings with a 40 ft. by 60 ft. garage structure that
• will contain 11 garage stalls and a trash enclosure area. Originally the plan was to have 12
garage stalls but due to ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements, one stall is to be
handicapped accessible reducing the amount of space available for a 12th stall. The remainder
area, which is not large enough for a garage stall, will be a trash enclosure space solving another
problem for the complex that being providing screening for trash containers.
The applicant has indicated that their plan will provide garage coverage for some tenant
automobiles not currently available on the property. They note that the ability to provide garages
allows them to upgrade the property increasing their economic level which in turn provides
stability of the residents living at the property.
The garage construction would be wood frame on a concrete slab with a gabled, shingled roof.
Hardi plank siding, which is non - combustible, would be provided and the garage doors would be
six paneled steel doors. The elevations and floor plan show six garages facing south and five
facing north including a 13 ft. wide stall for handicap accessibility. The dumpster enclosure area
would be located along the north bank at the west end of the building.
ACCESS/PARKING
Access to the site would be unchanged and the location of the garage structure would be in the
center of the parking lot shared by the two buildings previously mentioned. Currently the
• 10 -12 -00
Page 1
• parking lot contains 34 parking spaces. Following construction there would be 33 spaces.
Access around the garages provides space for 24 ft. wide two way drive lanes. The City
Engineer has reviewed the proposal and does not anticipate any problems. The existing drainage
pattern for the most part will continue. He does not believe it is necessary to require the
applicant to provide curb and gutter to assist drainage on the site. No parking lot upgrading,
other than that necessary to tie into the new garage, is anticipated.
The parking requirement for residential property is two parking spaces per dwelling unit. These
two buildings, which share this parking lot, were built in 1959 when the City only required one
parking space per dwelling unit. The building at 6331 Beard Avenue, which is a part of this
complex but does not share a parking lot, was built in 1960. It has a separate parking facility on
the south side of that building. It, too, was built under the parking requirement of one parking
space per dwelling unit. There are 12 units in each of the buildings which would require a total
of 48 off street arkin spaces for the two buildings under the current parking requirements. As
P g P g P g q
-previously me- there are currently 34 existing parking spaces. The applicant has
indicated that given the mix of tenants they have never had a demand for more parking than is
available and even reducing the parking count by one space should not be a problem. It might be
possible to add parking spaces on the site to increase the number but we do not believe it is
necessary to do so at this time. The question is whether it is reasonable to allow the reduction of
one on site parking space given the upgrading that they are proposing. We believe such a request
is reasonable.
The City ses o 'e compliance with the
ty opportunities such as this to assure that facilities are c p
minimum requirements of the City's zoning ordinance such as landscaping, curb and gutter, etc.
As mentioned reviou a it is necessary to require curb and
p sly, the City Engineer does not believe ary q
gutter on the property at this time.
The applicant has provided us with an analysis of landscaping at the sites. The three sites
combined equal 1.35 acres which would require 121.5 landscape points. Their analysis shows 45
shade trees, 17 coniferous trees, and 22 shrubs equaling 461 landscape points which is well in
excess of the total points required for such a multi residential development. Even using the point
distribution method of analyzing landscape plans, they exceed the landscape requirements,
therefore, no additional landscaping needs to be required.
SCREENING
The applicant originally proposed to leave the west end of the area devoted as a trash enclosure
open with a non opaque gate. We have reviewed this with the applicant and have indicated that
due to the residential property located immediately to the west that it is necessary to provide
opaque screening on any gate they propose to have for the trash enclosure area. Therefore, the
plans should be modified to show an opaque screen gate for this facility and such a condition
should be added to any conditions recommended for approval of this application.
• 10 -12 -00
Page 2
• RECOMMENDATION
All in all we believe this application is in order and would recommend approval subject to the
following conditions:
1. The building plans are subject to review and approval by the building official with
respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits.
2. Grading and drainage plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer
prior to the issuance of permits.
3. The plans shall be modified prior to the issuance of permits to provide opaque
screening of the trash container area including opaque screening on any gate serving
this area. The use of plastic slats woven between chain link is not acceptable as a
means of m , -:eting.this opaque screening requirement.

MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF
HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
• REGULAR SESSION
OCTOBER 12, 2000
CALL TO ORDER
The Planning Commission meeting was called to order-by Chair Pro Tem Boeck at 7:34 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Chair Pro Tem Graydon Boeck, Commissioners John Whitehead, Rex Newman, and Stephen
Erdmann. Chair Tim Willson, Commissioners Sean Rahn, and Dianne Reem were absent and
excused. Also present were Secretary to the Planning Commission/Planning and Zoning
Specialist Ronald Warren, and Planning Commission Recording Secretary Nancy Czajkowski.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES — SEPTEMBER 14.2000
There was a motion by Commissioner Newman, seconded by Commissioner Erdmann, to
approve the minutes of the September 14, 2000 meeting as submitted. The motion passed
unanimously. Commissioner Whitehead abstained as he was not at this meeting.
CHAIR'S EXPLANATION
Chair Pro Tem Boeck 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 Nn. 20Q0 - 022 — (MID CONTINENT MANA GEMENT CORPORATION)
Chair Pro Tem Boeck introduced Application No. 2000 -022, a request from Mid Continent
Management Corporation to seek Site and Building Plan approval to construct an 11 stall
garage at 6331, 6401 and 6425 Beard Avenue North.
Mr. Warren presented the staff report using large copies of the plan to describe the location of the
property and the proposal. (See Planning Commission Information Sheet dated 10/12/00 for
Application No. 2000 -022 attached.) The proposed plan is to replace 12 existing surface parking
spaces located in the parking lot between the 6401 and 6425 Beard Avenue buildings with a 40
foot by 60 foot garage structure that will contain 11 garage stalls and a trash enclosure area.
While the original plan was to have 12 garage stalls, meeting the Americans with Disabilities Act
requirements resulted in one stall being made handicapped accessible which reduced the amount
of space available for a twelfth stall. The applicant is also considering an overhead door in lieu
of an opaque gate in the trash container area. Staff recommends approval subject to three
conditions.
Mr. Jack Hayes, representative of the applicant, stated he is available for any questions the
Commissioners might have.
• 10 -12 -00
Page 1
Chair Pro Tem Boeck asked where Commers- Clover II, LLP, is located. Mr. Hays stated their
offices are in Roseville.
• Chair Pro Tem Boeck stated it is an improvement to the area. He noted since they would collect
more rent and pay more taxes, everyone wins.
Mr. Hays indicated he would like to discuss the overhead door concept with the garbage hauler
before finalizing the idea. Chair Pro Tem Boeck concurred. He noted the applicant did not want
to change it again in a short amount of time.
Chair Pro Tem Boeck asked if the trash area would be locked. Mr. Warren responded it might
be. He noted there can be problems since the tenants must also access the area in order to avoid
trash being thrown around the site. Mr. Warren indicated it is a constant problem to keep the
area clean and free of vandalism. He noted proposals like this seem to do a better job of handling
the problem.
Chair Pro Tem Boeck called for further discussion or questions from the Commissioners. The
Commissioners interposed no objections to approval of the Appli elation.
ACTION TO RECOMMENDAPPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO. 2000-022 — (MID
CONTINENT MANAGEMENT CORPORATION)
There was a motion by Commissioner Newman, seconded by Commissioner Whitehead, to
recommend to the Council that it approve Application No. 2000 -022, submitted by Mid
Continent Management Corporation for site and building plan approval to construct an 11 stall
garage at 6331, 6401, and 6425 Beard Avenue North, subject to the following conditions:
1. The building plans are subject to review and approval by the building official with
respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits.
2. Grading and drainage plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer
prior to the issuance of permits.
3. The plans shall be modified prior to the issuance of permits to provide opaque
screening of the trash container area including opaque screening on any gate serving
this area. The use of plastic slats woven between chain link is not acceptable as a
means of meeting this opaque screening requirement.
Voting in favor: Chair Pro Tem Boeck, Commissioners Erdmann, Newman, and
Whitehead.
The motion passed.
The Council will consider the recommendation at its October 23, 2000 meeting. The applicant
must be present. Major changes to the application as reviewed by the Planning Commission will
require that the application be returned to the Commission for reconsideration.

Working for the Region, Planning for the Future
DATE: August 4, 2000
TO: City Managers and Administrators
FROM: Elizabeth J. Ryan, Director of Housing & Livable Communities
SUBJECT: Certification of 2000 ALHOA (Expenditures in 200 1)
Thank you for your participation in the 2000 Metropolitan Livable Communities Act (LCA) Local
Housing Incentives Account. Your community's commitment and involvement has contributed to the
region's overall economic competitiveness and its tangible progress in providing affordable and life -cycle
housing for metro area residents.
Looking ahead to 2001, the Metropolitan Council seeks your community's renewed participation and
continued cooperation in Livable Communities efforts. As part of the LCA legislation, the Council
annually notifies each community of its "Affordable and Life -cycle Housing Opportunities Amount
(ALHOA) ". The ALHOA is derived from the formula prescribed in law including market value, tax
capacity and tax rates by the county assessor. It is an amount of local expenditure to support or assist the
development of affordable and life -cycle housing or maintain and preserve such housing. The enclosed
ALHOA is the amount of local expenditure expected of the community during 2001.
S Communities have some flexibility in determining which local expenditures fulfill the ALHOA
contribution. Examples include local dollars contributed to housing assistance, development or
rehabilitation efforts, local housing inspection and code enforcement, or local taxes to support a local or
county HRA.
Incentives for your community's renewed participation include access to nearly $15 million for housing
development, clean-up of polluted sites for business and housing development, and mixed -use and
mixed- income development. Also, your community's ALHOA expenditure will be reported in the
Council's Annual Housing Report Card required by the LCA.
Your community's intent to participate in the 2001 LCA Local Housing Incentives Program is needed by
Nov. 15. To help you in verifying your community's continued participation, a model resolution is
enclosed. Planning assistance for staff or information presentations for elected officials are available by
contacting your sector representative (see below). Questions about the ALHOA can be referred to Guy
Peterson at 651/602 -1418.
We look forward to continuing our mutual commitment to affordable and life -cycle housing. Thank you
for your consideration.

EXPLANATION OF
AFFORDABLE LIFE -CYCLE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES
FOR THE YEAR 2000
TO BE EXPENDED IN 2001
Simply stated, here's how we determined you community's ALHOA for 2000 that is to be
expended in 2001.
First, we determined the average market value of your city's houses in 1995, doubled it to
arrive at a base value. We then found all of the 1995 high priced houses that were above
this base amount and subtracted the base value from each of those high priced houses to
arrive at an excess value number for each house. Next we added up all of those high priced
house's excess values to arrive at the total base year excess ' number. This 1995 number
doesn't change.
We did the same for the current year, this time using the current market values for the
houses and the current base value using the Consumer Price Index change according to the
requirements of the legislation.
If the current year's excess is bigger than the 1995 excess, we subtracted the 1995 excess
from the current year's total excess to arrive at the Growth in Excess. We multiplied that
Growth in Excess times your city's tax rate. This is the Affordable and Life Cycle Housing
Opportunities Amount for this y ear. This means that if there is no total growth in the t 1 exc
ess
from 1995, then there is no Opportunities amount.
Definitions:
HOMESTEAD
A homestead is defined as property regularly "homesteaded" by its owners. For farm
homes, it represents the assessment of the farm house, a garage and one acre of land only.
CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (CPI)
The Consumer Price Index measures the inflation factor in the U.S. economy. The
Department of the Interior publishes this rate monthly along with a yearly average. For this
program, the yearly average CPI is used.
To ensure that this base value does not lose its meaning in future years the base value is
increased by the CPI each year. This increased value approximately represents the effect of
inflation on the market value of houses in your city. By changing the base value every
year, the houses that were not included in the first base year calculation should not be
included in future years just because the market value has increased due to inflation.
Refer to attached sample city printout for assistance
Column A— Anytown
This is the name of your city
Column B- 2500
This is the 1999 value used for identifying homesteads in your city that were above this
hurdle number. This hurdle number was the result of multiplying the base value (see above
for the definition of the base value) times the CPI change from 1995 to 1999.
Column C- 255,736
This is the 2000 value used for identifying homesteads in your city that were above this
hurdle number. It is exactly like Column B, except the CPI change is now from 1995 to
2000.
Column D- 200,000
This is the 1995 sum of all houses having values above the base value. It represents only
those houses that were above the base value, and reflects only the amount left over after
subtracting the base value from each house valuation. For example: If a high priced house
had a value of $ 240,000 and the base value for the city was $ 235,000, then that high
priced house had an excess of 5,000 (240,000 — 23 5,000 = 5,000). This original amount
does not change. This original'figure is used as the basis to determine if you city has had
any growth in high priced homes since 1995.
•
Column E- 250,000
This is the 2000 -sum of the high priced homes having values above the current hurdle rate
found in Column C. Like Column D, it represents only the excess amounts not the entire
home value.
Column F- 50,000
Quite simply this is Column E minus Column D. If your city has added higher priced
homes since 1995 you should have a balance in this column. If you city has not seen an
increase in the higher priced homes since 1995 there should be no balance in this column.
There is no negative balance in this column. All negative values become zero. This
number is the basis for all subsequent calculations on this form.
Column G- 12,500.00
This number is your increased growth in higher priced homes (Column F) multiplied by
you city's local tax rate (Column I). It represents the extra nronerty taxes received by
• your city on the higher priced homes identified in Column E.
Column H- 230,000
This number is the total of all homestead property tax capacity (not market value of the
properties) in your city times 4 %. The number is calculated and supplied by your County
. Auditor. Why 4 %? Since all higher priced homes will have a value above $72,000, then
their tax capacity would be at 2 %. However, since the program doubles the market value
to arrive at the base value, then the tax capacity on the homestead tax capacity should also
be doubled or 4% (2% x 2 = 4 %).
Column 1- 57,500.00
This number is the result of multiplying the 4% Homestead Tax Capacity (Column H)
times your city's local tax rate (Column I).
Column J- 12,500.00
This column is the lower of Column G or Column I. Simply stated it represents the
calculated extra nronerty taxes your city receives from these higher priced houses. In some
cases these extra property taxes may be the 4% Homestead Tax Capacity number (Column
J) rather than the Excess Growth number (Column G). In those instances, the growth of
high priced homes is faster that 4% of the net tax capacity for the city.
Column K- 25.000 %
• This is your city's local tax rate for 2000 as certified by your County Auditor.
Column L-- 12,500.00
This is the same as Column J. It represents the Affordable Life -Cycle Housing
Opportunities Amount for 2000.
Column M -125
This is the actual number of higher priced homes that had values above the 1999 hurdle
rate.
Column N -150
This is the actual number of higher priced homes that had values above the hurdle rate for
2000.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 18, 2000
TO: Michael J. McCauley, City Manager
FROM: Jim Glasoe, Director of Community Activities, Recreation and Services
SUBJECT: Park and Recreation Commission Recommendation Regarding Interstate 6
Storm Water Ponding
At their September 19 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Commission discussed the issues
related to the need for, and potential locations of, storm water ponds needed as part of the
pending widening of Interstate 694.
At the meeting, Public Works Director Spector informed the Commission that the anticipated
project to widen Interstate 694 had been moved up to 2001 and 2002 as the Legislature had
approved additional funding from the State surplus.
As a part of the planning for this project, Public Works Director Spector indicated that
MnDOT would need to provide a series of storm water detention ponds. Ms. Spector noted
that two of these ponds would need to be located within Brooklyn Center. The first pond is
proposed to be located in excess road right -of -way on the South side of 694, just West of
Garden City Park.
Ms. Spector indicated that MnDOT was looking at three potential locations for the second
pond. The first location (and the one preferred by MnDOT) would be on existing park land in
Orchard Lane Park. The second option would be to purchase some homes adjacent to Orchard
Lane Park and locate the Pond there.
The third option would be to use a portion of what is now a parking area for the North
Memorial Maintenance Facility. Ms. Spector indicated that the third option was the least
preferred by MnDOT as the location was previously used for NSP electrical storage and may
have contaminated soil.
Public Works Director Spector informed the Commission that MnDOT was planning an
informational meeting regarding the issue for some time in November. She asked if the
Commission would consider hosting a special meeting on the same evening regarding the storm
water ondin issue.
After considerable discussion, a motion was made by Commissioner Russell, seconded by
Commissioner Peterson to recommend to the City Council that MnDOT locate its second pond
• on the North Memorial site. The motion passed unanimously.

INTERSTATE 694 WIDENING Storm Water Detention
Public Works Director Spector informed the Commission that the anticipated project to widen
• Interstate 694 had been moved up to 2001 and 2002 as the Legislature had approved additional
funding from the State surplus.
As a part of the planning for this project, Public Works Director Spector indicated that

ADOPT -A -PARK, TRAIL, STREET

Commission consensus that available Commissioners would meet at 9:00 a.m. on the
September 30 at Marlin Park.
CENTERBROOK MAINTENANCE BUILDING
CARS Director Glasoe informed the Commission that, over the last many years, much of the
golf course maintenance equipment has been stored in the water tower. Mr. Glasoe continued
that two vendors had recently approached the City regarding the leasing of space on the golf
course water tower for antennas. Mr Glasoe indicated that the leasing of this space would also
include space inside the tower for electrical controls, transmitters, etc.
Mr. Glasoe reported that staff had been examining the options for replacement of this storage
and had determined that the construction of a separate maintenance facilely was the best long
term solution. Mr. Glasoe indicated that numerous locations had been studied and that the area
around the current tennis courts in Lions Park had been identified as one of the best locations
for the facility.
. After some discussion, a motion was made by Commissioner Mead, seconded by
Commissioner Russell to vacate the tennis court at Lions Park and delete it from the proposed
CIP improvement list for 2002. The motion passed unanimously.
DESTINATION PARK PLAN
Public Works Director Spector informed the Commission that staff had continued to work over
the Summer to refine cost estimates and fiscal analyses associated with the Destination Parks
Plan. Ms. Spector indicated that the findings and the plan were discussed with the City
Council at its September 5, 2000 joint work session with the Financial Commission.
In addition, Ms. Spector indicated that public input regarding the plan had been solicited
through the latest issue of "City Watch" and a mailing to residents who lived immediately
adjacent to many of the proposed improvements. Finally the City Council at its September
11, 2000 meeting took public comments regarding the proposed plan.
Ms. Spector explained to the Commission that the reason for again discussing the plan was to
further refine the plan and prioritize improvements for the next several years, especially those
slated for construction in 2001 and 2002.
Ms. Spector reviewed a report that detailed the schedule of all improvements that would be
necessary over the next 20 years. These included both destination park improvements as well
as routine replacement of existing facilities. In addition, Ms. Spector reviewed two options for
funding the improvements, showing an analysis of the city's ability to finance the proposed
improvements.
• After considerable discussion, Commissioner Shinnick made a motion to recommend the
proposed improvements for 2001 -2002 as detailed in the plan, with the exception of the
rehabilitation of the Lions Park tennis courts which was deleted from the plan. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Ebert and unanimously passed.
In a separate motion, Commissioner Shinnick, seconded by Commissioner Russell, authorized
Chair Sorenson to speak on behalf of the Commission when the City Council considers the
plan as part of the larger Capital Improvements Plan.
RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS
Chair Sorenson informed the Commission that he had received a letter from the Mayor and
City Council encouraging the Commissioners to nominate deserving citizens for the annual
Random Acts of Kindness awards. Chair Sorenson indicated that the nominations were due by
October 9.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 17, 2000
TO: Michael J. McCauley, City Manager
FROM: Diane Spector, Director of Public Work
SUBJECT: An Ordinance Amending the Water and Sanitary Sewer Hookup Charge Policy
At several previous meetings the Council has considered amending the City's policy for public
utility hookup charges and has agreed on a change to that policy. The ordinance presented for
first reading tonight is the first step in adopting that policy change. This proposed ordinance
amendment was reviewed at the September 5, 2000 work session.
Additional steps to be taken include the second reading and public hearing for this ordinance
amendment; amendment of the city's special assessment policy document; and adoption of a rate
schedule. These actions will all be considered on November 27th along with the annual public
utility rate study.
In summary, this ordinance amendment would eliminate the current policy of referring back to
previous special assessments for utility hookup, and replace it with a policy which requires all
properties making connection to the system to pay a flat rate based on property type and size.
The ordinance as proposed also takes advantage of this process to make some housekeeping
changes that are not worth doing on their own. Specifically, the ordinance would change all
references to the department of planning and inspection to community development department;
the public utilities superintendent title to public works supervisor; the Metropolitan Sewer Board
to Metropolitan Council Environmental Services.
The ordinance would also amend chapter 4 to reflect a change which was made administratively
several years ago. When the water and sewer utilities were established, their finances were
tracked in separate accounts, but formally they were one fund. Several years ago they were
separated into distinct funds.

City Council Agenda Item No. 10i
City of Brooklyn Center
A great place to start. A great "place to stay.
To: Mayor Kragness and Council Members Hilstrom, Lasman, Nelson and Peppe
From: Michael I McCauley
City Manager
Date: October 19, 2000
Re: Annual Review
I would suggest conducting the annual review as part of the November 20th work session as the last
item on the agenda or at a special meeting to follow the Truth in Taxation Hearing on December 4th.
The Council also mentioned conducting the review before a 6:00 p.m. meeting. That could be
scheduled before the November 13th, 20th, or 27th meetings as a special meeting, but the earlier
time may present problems for some council members.
