MEMORANDUM
TO: Michael J. McCauley, City Manager
FROM: Brad Hoffman, Community Development Director
DATE: July 8, 1999
SUBJECT: Park Dental
Park Dental, 6437 Brooklyn Boulevard, approached staff approximately one (1) year ago to assist
them with site location for a new facility. Park Dental has outgrown their current facility and are
looking to construct a new dental office preferably in Brooklyn Center. A number of potential sites
were considered within the City including the area in and around 69th and Brooklyn Boulevard and
along Freeway Boulevard but none of the sites were suitable.
Park Dental's preferred site is to remain in their current location on Brooklyn Boulevard. They have
approached Mr. Richard Johnson, the owner of 6421 Brooklyn Boulevard, about acquiring his
property which is located immediately to the south of their site. Mr. Johnson currently operates a
vacuum cleaner repair business out of the single family home on Brooklyn Boulevard. The property
is non - homestead. Mr. Johnson and Park Dental have not agreed to a purchase and Mr. Johnson has
indicated to them he is not interested in selling the property.
Park Dental has requested the City/EDA to use its power of eminent domain to acquire the property
at 6421 Brooklyn Boulevard. In turn they would pay all expenses associated with the acquisition
including relocation. It is their intent to combine the two (2) parcels and construct a new dental
office approximately 10,000 square feet in size. A conceptual elevation will be available for review
and comment Monday evening. Park Dental would like to start construction as soon as possible to
facilitate their occupation of the new building next year. In order to accommodate such a request
the EDA would need to complete a development agreement with Park Dental and start acquisition
by early fall.
Staff would request direction from the Council/EDA Monday evening. If there is interest in
proceeding with this project staff should be directed to produce a development agreement for EDA
approval. The agreement would be pretty straight forward. Park Dental would have to provide
financial security up front in an amount equal to our estimate of the cost of acquisition and
relocation. The deal would be contingent upon their agreeing to construct the new facility on the
site. In turn the EDA would acquire the property at 6421 Brooklyn Boulevard and convey title to
Park Dental for an amount equal to our cost of acquisition.
The City's public interest would be increased tax base; the removal of a single family home on
Brooklyn Boulevard and the consolidation of small lots on the Boulevard. In addition we keep a
very viable dental clinic in the community. Currently, the total market value for 6421 Brooklyn
Boulevard is $72,400 and $376,400 for 6437 Brooklyn Boulevard totaling $448,800. A new dental
office would have a market value of approximately $1,000,000.

MemoTo: CO -OP Northwest Executive Committee Members
Memo From: Kathleen Roach, Danielle Ricciardi, Deb Hill, and Valerie Jones
Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council, CO -OP Northwest Staff
Subject: CO -OP Northwest Executive Committee Meeting
Date: July 8, 1999
The CO -OP Northwest Executive Committee has not met since the Fall of 1998 at which time
the committee and agency staff resolved to begin a strategic planning process for CO -OP
Northwest. Staff and CO -OP Northwest cities have been working with these strategic planning
efforts for the last six months and have concluded that the best way to continue CO -OP
Northwest efforts is to reconvene the Executive Committee.
This meeting is designed to bring all Executive Committee members and CO -OP Northwest
partners up to date on developments within CO -OP Northwest. Further, the Executive
Committee will be asked for their recommendations and support for the next course of action
beyond the year 1999. As many changes have occurred both internally and externally to CO -OP
Northwest, it is our hope that all Executive Committee members can attend this pivotal meeting.
The CO -OP Northwest Executive Committee meeting has been scheduled for:
Thursday, July 29 th , 1999
1:00 — 3:00 pm
NWHHSC Offices
Please RSVP to Yvonne at 493 -2802 by July 26.
We have generated and enclosed several documents that will be helpful to you as you prepare for
this meeting. We hope that you will review them and come to the meeting with any questions
you might have.
Please feel free to call any one of us if you need more information.

CO -OP Northwest Executive Committee Informational Interview Survey Results
1998 Strategic Planning Process
Executive Summary
A survey was conducted between March 2 - 20, to receive input and involvement in the strategic
planning/fine- tuning process for CO -OP Northwest. Twenty six members on the Executive
Committee mailing list were contacted with a response rate of 62% (16 completed interviews).
This information is summarized below, and will be used to help us determine next steps needed
in our effort to strengthen this initiative.
CO -OP (Communities Organizing Opportunities for People) Northwest is a holistic effort of
Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council, to address housing, human service, jobs, training,
education and diversity needs. CO -OP Northwest primarily serves the communities of Brooklyn
Park, Brooklyn Center, Crystal, New Hope, and Robbinsdale with some services to additional
communities such as Maple Grove, Golden Valley, and Plymouth at this time.
Key Themes
► Value getting together with other sectors
► Value quantity and quality information provided by competent staff
School district involvement needed and clarification of school district roles.
Cadet program and housing issues were repeatedly mentioned as valued components of
CO -OP NW
Observations
Need to clarify Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council initiatives: confusion with
various agency's collaboratives such as Success By 6®Northwest and NW Hennepin
Family Services Collaborative.
Recommendations
> Membership: Getting the right people involved: cities /organizations should not be just
"sending a body ", but should be sending department heads, etc
> Continue developing and communicating the workplans in place for this initiative
Provide orientation to key people in sectors that are under - represented and to new
members
Address role of school districts more thoroughly
► Address how transportation ties to housing
Diversity work - demands of changing demographics
► Community standards issues (e.g.: single parent births) - don't do enough to show
economic implications
Continuing to work with the Human Rights Commissions
A more coordinated lobbying effort on behalf of the cities with regards to housing needs
► Focusing on 3 or 4 things that CO -OP Northwest and the staff want to work on
Get cities to comply with housing ordinances and provide support for city planning
groups and community members to put housing on a public agenda that outlines an action
plan
Have NWHHSC be a part of the local/cities comprehensive planning processes to plan
for the future
City wants more help for rehabbing homes, 3 year wait for CDBG monies -- people need
technical help and funding both
> Would like to see a closer tie with the Work Force Center - potential for the future
FIVE CITY)IMULTI JURISDICTIONAL ORGANIZATION
NORTHWEST HENNEPIN COUNTY
April 20, 1992
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND:
The Five Cities of Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Crystal,
New Hope & Robbinsdale for the past two decades have had a
natural geographical and demographic relationship.
They have worked together to achieve cost effective
inter - governmental relationships that first started as part
of their volunteer fire department mutual aid association,
Police assistance to each other,Suburban Public Health
Nursing Service, health departments, etc.
They became involved in the Health & Human Service area,
with the establishment of the Northwest Human Service
Organization in 1972.
In 1976, the Metro Council Land Planning Act presented the
opportunity to have cities look at how their planning
affected their neighboring communities, especially as they
border each other.
And, in 1985,the 5 cities helped to organize the North Metro
Mayors Association and the North Metro Development Association.
This brought the Mayors and City Managers together on a
regular basis to deal with mutual problems.
FIVE CITY ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT:
In 1991, the City Manager of New Hope in reviewing the
number of Section 8 & Voucher units that the five cities
have, along with the administrative fees that the Metro
Council receives from the 1000 units and the indirect
charges that Metro Council assesses the program, brought the
5 cities together for the purpose of trying to obtain a
larger proportion of those fees to deal with the housing
problems that the 5 cities are experiencing.
The group in examining their original purpose for organizing
referred to two Metro Council documents that were presented
in 1988 & 1989 respectively, "LOOKING AHEAD IN HOUSING" &
"HOUSING MARKETS IN 2000 ".
Both documents suggested that communities that have similar
demographics should be considering their similarities in
planning to address their mutual problems.
The need to tie Housing & Human Services together became
evident to this group over the past two years as they
participated in the SUCCESS BY SIX NORTHWEST replication
project.
Page 2
For this proposal the five cities added. the 4 School
Districts that serve the area, Osseo, District 279;
Robbinsdale, District 281; Brooklyn Center,District 286; and
Anoka - Hennepin, District 11. In addition Hennepin County,
North Hennepin Community College and North Hennepin Vo -Tech
College were brought into the discussion.
It should be noted that the N. W. Human Service organization
was an integral part of this collaborative effort.
ACTION PROGRAM THAT HAS EVOLVED:
In 1991, both the Governor and the State Legislature called
upon local units of government to cooperate and collaborate
to lower the costs of government and /or be more cost
effective.
The FIVE CITY group felt that they were moving in that
direction and took the opportunity to officially unfurl
their mutual problems and goals at a hearing held in
Brooklyn Park by the Housing Committee of the Minnesota State
House of Representatives last summer.
After several meetings of the what has now become a
"Multi - Jurisdictional" collab
be developed and forwarded to all
it was decided that a
"joint resolution" should
participants to formally adopt that would embrace them to
the concept of working together on the areas of mutual
interest set forth in the resolution.
As an outgrowth, the Metro Council Human Service Department
became interested in this project and provided staff support
to help move the organization into developing an action plan
that would address the 5 City issues, as well as
coordinating with Metro Council Regional policies dealing
with housing and human services.
During the recent concluding session ession of the legislature, the
House /Senate Tax Conference Committee became very interested
in funding the organization by expanding the Brooklyn Center
Sales Tax on Liquor & Take out Food to be used for housing
purposes.
This would have been done by making it state law that would have
stated "Any 3 or more contiguos cities that have a population of
100,000 or more may enact this tax to be used for housing
and human services purposes.:
Because this had not been discussed in any policy committee
the idea was dropped for this session, but the legislators
that were on the committee - Rep's. Rest & Schreiber & Sen.
Reichgott were very strong in their feelings that the 1993
session of the legislature should address this issue.
Page 3
MOVING TO A PLAN OF ACTION:
With the Metro Council becoming involved and the assignment
of one of their planning staff to as
the group is now starting to assist the organization,
focus on the next steps to
be more formally structured.
In addition to the resolution that is now being acted upon,
there has been the formation of 8 Action Groups to deal with
the issues that the group has so far agreed upon.
Through the efforts of Metro Council staff, a grant
application is being prepared that will be submitted to the
McKnight Foundation for planning grant funding.
The grant application is being developed in a form that it
can be used to solicit other foundations for assist
With the legislature now interested in the work of the
group, they plan to meet with area legislators during the
interim to develop a legislative initiative for the 1993
session.

Mr. McCauley reported that the information included in the materials was from the request of the
Council at the June 14, 1999, meeting. City staff had checked with the League of Minnesota Cities.
The League of Minnesota Cities did not have materials with respect to check cashing. The City's
Attorney office had also made some inquiries but did not have much information regarding check
cashing operations. The Police Department contacted police departments where check cashing
operations are located, some including the applicant and some other check cashing operations. The
materials prepared by the Police Department indicated that their interviews indicated no police
problems associated with the check cashing operations, and in some cases, found them to be
professionally operated. Included in the Council materials were pictures that were taken showing
several locations, including other locations operated by Money Centers.
Cary Geller, Community Money Center, Inc., addressed the Council for any questions they had.
Council discussed with Mr. Geller the procedure for check cashing and the type of identification
needed for cashing checks. Mr. Geller reported that a valid Minnesota Driver's License would need
to be provided. If a person did not have a Minnesota Driver's License they would be required to
have a Birth Certificate, and their employer and/or home phone number would be called.
Mr. Geller informed the Council of the procedure when a forged or stolen check is brought to their
store for cashing and that he works directly with authorities when these incidents happen.
Mr. Geller asked what the next step would be since the license was denied at the June 14, 1999,
meeting with respect to his license. Mr. McCauley advised that the matter was on tonight's agenda
to provide information requested by the City Council. The applicant has a 30 day period from the
denial of the license to request a hearing.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 7, 1999
TO: Michael J. McCauley, City Manager
FROM: Diane Spector, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Resolution Accepting Architect's Feasibility Report and Authorizing the
Development of Plans and Specifications, Improvement Project No. 1999 -19,
Rehabilitation of Wellhouse Nos. 5 and 6
The 1999 Water Utility Fund budget includes $160,000 for the rehabilitation of wellhouses #5
and #6.
_a

Figure 2 Well # 6, 69th and Emerson
Figure 1 Well #5, Camden and 70th Avenue
These wellhouses suffer from siding and roofing deterioration, and require some structural
rehabilitation. Because they are both in residential and highly visible locations, there is also a
need to improve their appearance.
Preliminary plans and specifications have been prepared by PMSI Architects, working with
Structural Design Associates, a local structural engineering firm which has worked on several
city buildings. The design plan is to sheathe the buildings in brick -look block veneer, making
requisite structural modifications, and to replace the roof structures and roofs. Wellhouse #6 also
needs new garage doors and internal doors.
During the design process, utility staff proposed that further structural modifications be made to
#6 to allow both emergency generators to be housed in its garage. The generators are currently
stored at the Central Garage, but because of the layout of parking space for nonmotorized
equipment they are often parked in two to three pieces of equipment deep. To access the
generators, the operator must first remove the two or three pieces of equipment blocking the
. generators, then remove the generators, then replace the other equipment which had been
removed. In an emergency, this means that fifteen or twenty minutes might be lost just
generators, the operator must first remove the two or three pieces of equipment blocking the
generators, then remove the generators, then replace the other equipment which had been
removed. In an emergency, this means that fifteen or twenty minutes might be lost just
maneuvering equipment. Parking the generators at #6, which is near the wellfield and which is
centrally located to most of the lift stations, would improve emergency response time. The
structural modifications include raising the walls and roof of the garage and storage section of the
building by about four feet, and providing taller garage doors.
Estimated Cost
The budget figure of $160,000 was based on a very rough estimate of work, excluding the
proposed modifications to 46 to provide dedicated storage space for the emergency generators.
The more accurate cost estimate, based on the preliminary design and including the proposed
structural modifications is $225,000. While this is considerably more than the budget figure, we
have worked with the architect and structural engineer to minimize cost where possible.
The purpose of this discussion item is to request the Council's approval to accept the architect's
report, and authorize the final design and bidding stage of the project, even though the estimated
cost is greater than was budgeted. If the Council approves this, we would proceed to bid the
project as soon as the bid package can be developed. The architect believes that reasonable bids
can be had in late summer biddings. However, if the architect believes the bids are too high and
that spring bids would be more advantageous, then the bids can be rejected and the project would
be rebid next spring.
Other funds are available in the Water Utility from projects for which expenditures are expected
to be less than budget. Most notable is the Southeast Neighborhood Street and Utility
Improvement project, where the estimated cost of water system work is about $300,000 less than
and additional funds can be
budgeted. At the time the bids are accepted and a contract awarded, a
g p
appropriated from the project.

RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING ARCHITECT'S FEASIBILITY REPORT AND AUTHORIZING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1999 -19,
REHABILITATION OF WELLHOUSE NOS. 5 AND 6
WHEREAS, the 1999 Water Utility Fund budget includes $160,000 for the rehabilitation of
wellhouses #5 and #6; and
WHEREAS, an architect and structural engineer have prepared preliminary plans and
specifications and have determined that the cost estimate for the proposed improvements exceeds the budgeted
amount; and
WHEREAS, the City Council believes it is in the best interests of the Water Utility to construct
these improvement; and
WHEREAS, expenditures for water system improvements in the Southeast Neighborhood Street
and Utility improvement project are expected to be almost $300,000 under budget.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center,
Minnesota that:
1. The architect's feasibility report, consisting of the plans and specifications and project
cost estimated are hereby accepted and approved.
2. Staff are hereby authorized to obtain final plans and specifications and advertise for bids

Re: Community Center & City Hall Building Needs & Options
Beginning in Spring of 1998, staff began the process of reviewing the building issues at the Civic
Center (the term applied to the Community Center & City Hall buildings collectively). With a
direction for the police department building needs established, this study process proceeded with the
inclusion of an architect to review and study the situation. The results of the architect's work in
reviewing needs and building condition resulted in cost estimates and building layouts that are
conceptual for three approaches to meeting the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act
and structural issues.
• The process began by identifying the Americans With Disabilities Act issues, roof, heating,
ventilation and air conditioning issues, brick spalling on the Community Center, space needs, and
general difficulty facing patrons of the Community Center and City Hall in accessing programs,
facilities, or offices. In reviewing the $2 ++ Million cost of addressing only building repair or
accessibility issues, the concept of replacement surfaced as department heads suggested that this
option be reviewed. Other issues explored in this process included energy savings and possible
public private partnerships. Energy savings are difficult to quantify without a specific set of plans.
New construction and remodeling would both be more energy efficient than current buildings. New
construction would have insulation in walls, whereas remodeling would not improve that portion of
the building. Mr. Glasoe's efforts to explore whether private corporations would be interested in the
type of arrangements that occurred in Plymouth did not result in any interest from the private
providers. We also explored potential joint undertaking with other governmental units. In March of
1998, I sent a letter to Commissioner Opat inquiring if Hennepin County would have an interest in
exploring joint facility ideas. I did not receive a response from Commissioner Opat.
1. Overview of Needs:
a) City Hall building system component issues:
- Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning need replacement and installation of
ducted returns: air quality was one of the issues raised in the building needs analysis

An Affirmative Action /Equal Opportunities Employer
for a new police station (as indicated in report: poor air distribution, dirty duct work
with presence of dirt, microbes, fiberglass and/or asbestos; inadequate fresh air in
system and a facility that was designed for fewer people)
- roof has reached its useful life and needs to be replaced
- inadequate wall insulation, poor windows, need for roof insulation City Hall (only
the roof insulation would be addressed in Design 1)
- City Council chambers has inadequate cable casting equipment and poor audio
visual capabilities
- structural cracking in corridor to assessing area (may be left alone ?)
- need to remove non - compliant cables from past systems that are flammable
- electrical service needs upgrade to handle increased electronics
b) Community Center building needs:.
- wading pool requires reconstruction of separate filtration system and other
improvements
- deteriorating brick along south wall: need to address moisture damage from freeze -
thaw cycles.
- poor ventilation and brick deterioration in penthouses on Community Center and
lack of insulation
c) Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)
- both buildings do not provide access to meet current standards or even reasonable
access to programs and especially to rest room facilities
- City is well past dates for compliance and planning to meet ADA requirements
d) General Community Space
- need more space for community activities such as senior cards, after school youth,
community organizations: representation to public was that we would carve out some
additional community space: this can be accomplished either in the community center
or in City Hall
2
e) General Space Needs
- need more conference room space: find shortage of meeting space, especially during
audit and construction season
- need to have contiguous space for operations
- ie: - engineering has files and equipment in two separate areas
- community development is in 3 separate areas
- need additional office space
- fire chief and secretary share small office and several other
offices are inadequately sized
- need to modify 1 st floor and provide for citizen service that is staffed on 1 st floor
f) Finances
- Minimum estimate to address required/needed work is $2.4 Million
- remodeling is inexact process: remodeling always reveals unanticipated problems
- have identified potential funds for $2.4 to $3.1+ Million in project funds
- plan at time police & fire bonds were sold was to use capital improvement funds to
address the remaining building needs at the Civic Center complex
g) Time line
- need to address these building issues now:
- ADA non - compliance is a lawsuit waiting to happen
- roof and HVAC are on end of useful life
- not reasonable to address HVAC issues for one group of employees
and not others
- decision on direction needed by end of June to be positioned for 2000 construction
- need to know direction to design parking lot improvements in time for this year's
construction
2) OVERVIEW OF OPTIONS
The 3 options contained in the architect's report may be summarized as:
Design 1 Do what has to be done to fix the buildings and use the space vacated
by police.
• Design 2 Address accessibility at the Community Center by creating a functional
3
1 st floor entrance and locker area.
Design 3 Address accessibility by providing a new building, rather than
substantially invest in extending the life of the existing City Hall and
provide the 1st phase of a master plan to replace the Community Center
when the life of the pool is used and the bonds for police & fire are
retired to free up bonding capacity.
SUMMARY
The accessibility, roof, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), and other physical needs
have coalesced at this point in time to present a major need for improvements. The cost of the
combination of needs is close to the cost of new construction. As indicated previously, staff felt,
upon receiving the cost estimates to address the numerous issues, that it was worth comparing fixing
with the cost of a new structure. There are advantages and disadvantages of the options. The basic
floor is $2.4 Million and the ceiling is around $3.3 Million ( a ceiling of $3.1 Million is more
sustainable). Addressing these needs is the crucial issue. Design Option 1 has greater potential for
cost over run associated with remodeling. Design Option 3 is the most cost effective and provides
the most benefit, but there may be site and footing issues that will impact final size of the structure.
Initial soil borings performed in connection with a review of options for the police space were good.
However, the general nature of soils in this area requires caution until borings are taken exactly
where a building would be placed. Design Option 2 was removed from consideration by the Council
since it cost basically as much as Option 3 and still had all of the cost over run risks of Option 1,
without providing any appreciable improvement in customer service or community space. The
overall plan under both remaining options is to solicit community input into the design of a plan for
a new community center in 2009 or 2010 for presentation to the voters in a 2012 referendum for
2013 construction.
On June 7, 1999, the Financial and Park & Recreation Commissions met in joint session with the
City Council to review the building options. Each commission had met before June 7th and then met
again after June 7th to review the options. Both commissions have recommended that Option 3 be
pursued to build a new building to meet the accessibility and other issues.
The matter is on the agenda for the City Council to direct which option should be developed with
complete plans and specifications. Upon determination by the Council of the direction for specific
design work, the architect and staff would develop plans and specifications. We would then solicit
input from the Park & Recreation Commission and public on the public areas being created or
improved to refine the design and components before presentation to the Council of the building
plans for bidding. The potential exists for this project to be undertaken in the Spring of 2000. Actual
start will depend on the results of the detailed planning and input.

MEMORANDUM
• TO: Michael J. McCauley, City Manager
FROM: David Fisher, Building Official
DATE: May 26, 1999
SUBJECT: Public Government Building Accessibility
The following buildings in the City of Brooklyn Center are public government buildings, owned
by various governing bodies. In 1992 the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act was adopted
which requires that all public government buildings be in compliance with the State Accessibility
Code, the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act and Minnesota Human Rights. All public
government buildings were required to be in compliance by 1996.
City Hall Community Center
Police Station Fire Stations
Public Schools Post Office
Public Works Buildings Earle Brown Heritage Center
With the exception of City Hall and the Community Center, all government buildings in
. Brooklyn Center have met accessibility requirements due to recent remodeling or new
construction. The City Hall and the Community Center buildings continue to be non - compliant
and have many accessibility violations which must be corrected. Specific violations are listed
below:
Accessible routes from the parking lot to the buildings are not provided. Exterior entries,
stairs, exterior ramps, elevators and doors must be modified to meet accessibility
requirements.
Accessible restroom facilities are not provided. Modifications to all bathrooms are
necessary to meet accessibility requirements. (The current code requires additional water
closets and sinks.)
Accessible parking is inadequate. Additional van accessible and handicap accessible
parking stalls must be provided.
An accessible telephone must be provided and none currently exists.
Accessible drinking fountains must be provided and none currently exist.
Government buildings are required to be in compliance. This is in contrast to non - government
® public buildings which may wait until a remodel to comply. It is imperative that the accessibility
issues be addressed immediately.

Mr. Michael McCauley, City Manager
City of Brooklyn Center
6301 Shingle Creek Parkway
Brooklyn Center, MN 55430
Re: Proposed Architectural and Engineering Fees for the
Community Service Center
Dear Mr. McCauley,
As the City of Brooklyn Center proceeds with the design of their Community Service Center
Building and minor remodeling to the Community Center, you have requested at this time a
proposal listing the Architectural and Engineering fees.
As you explained, the scope of work would include the design of a new two -level Community
• Service Center and two -level connecting link to the existing Community Center. The size of
the proposed Community Service Center would be approximately 180 feet by 72 feet,
yielding roughly 13,000 square feet per floor or 26,000 total square feet, not including the
area of the connecting link and lower level entrances. The lower level of the new structure
would be dedicated to community spaces such as: meeting rooms; ADA compliant public
toilets; central reception area; new locker facilities and a City Council Chamber designed in
such a way to be usable by several organizations. The upper level would be devoted to the
various City Departments comprising City Hall. Each department would have counters
attended to serve the public. A variety of conference rooms will be available for the public
and staff. Both the Community Center and the new Community Service Center will be
accessible by a centrally located elevator.
Remodeling within the Community Center will include a new wading pool and filter system; a
relocated exercise room to the Upper Level; a Youth Room; a "wet" corridor for the
swimmers and a dry corridor for access to Constitution Hall. The steep stair on the north
side of the building would be eliminated.
Demolition of the existing City Hall and abandoned Police Station would occur once the new
structure is completed and fully occupied. We understand that the City intends to save the
Filter and Mechanical Room in the Lower Level. The structure above the floor line will be
removed. This remaining building will then need to be insulated and waterproofed.
The above scope of work is visibly stated allowing the A/E fees to be determined; thus an
agreement can be negotiated. Again our preference on agreement forms leans towards
standard agreements published by the American Institute of Architects, especially AIA B141
that clean defines the u r agreement i t he
y e basic services requested. This o ula g nt form includes popular
services of Architects, Structural Engineers, Mechanical Engineers and Electrical Engineers
Letter to Mr. Michael McCauley
Dated: June 24, 1999
Page No. 2
and we prefer to work with Follestad & Barrett Associates for Mechanical and Electrical
Engineering; and Ellerbe Becket for Structural Engineering. We have also shown the fees
for a Civil Engineer to handle the grading, watershed work and utilities, should you wish to
include this in the same Agreement.
You stated that the City Engineering Department will design all new parking areas,
driveways, curbing, sidewalks, accessible parking, short term parking, site lighting, bus
parking, etc. Since this has to be closely planned with the landscape work, the Architect
has included seeding and sodding only in this proposal.
New design work and the existing Community Center will be committed to an AutoCAD
format and every attempt will be made to update the drawings to include the various
changes and remodeling that have occurred over the years. This work is included in the fee
and the drawings of the existing building are near completion at this writing.
You have asked us to obtain the costs of a survey of the immediate site area. We received
two quotations for this work: Sunde Land Surveying @ $4,300 and Egan Field and Nowak
at $6,000. We understand that the City will handle arrangements for the survey work.
Here is a breakdown of the A/E fees in accord with the five phases of work described in the
• Agreement:
SCHEMATIC DESIGN CONSTRUCTION BIDDING CONSTRUCTION
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENTS PHASE PHASE SERVICES SUBTOTAL
ARCHITECTURAL $20,850 27,800 55,600 6,950 27,800 $139,000
STRUCTURAL 4,050 5,400 10,800 1,350 5,400 27,000
SPECIAL INSPECTIONS 0 0 0 0 2,560 2,560

CIVIL ENGINEERING 1,710 2,280 4,560 570 2,280 11,400
A/E FEES PROPOSED FOR BASIC SERVICES $239,960
You may want to work under an accelerated schedule requiring multiple bid packages or fast
track construction. Your Construction Manager or Owner's Representative may encourage
the City to consider awarding contracts out of sequence or in a manner to pre -bid certain
"long -lead" items. The Design Team does not encourage any form of fast track construction
for the following reasons:
(1) At the outset some proponents of the fast track method intend to save time and
money for City of Brooklyn Center, but if the design work is not complete when
bid packages are formed the possibility exists that changes will have to be made
at the expense of the Owner. In our view it is always better to workout all
problems on paper prior to bidding or construction.
(2) Extra cost and time are incurred as the design process is disrupted and redesign
often occurs.
Letter to Mr. Michael McCauley
Dated: June 24, 1999
Page No. 3
•
(3) The preparation of additional or multiple documents take additional time and cost
the Owner additional money.
(4) This process typically increases the number of change orders on a project. It is
the goal of the Design Team to avoid or minimize change orders.
(5) More often construction time saving is lost and then extended.
If the City of Brooklyn Center would like to employ fast track or accelerated construction
methods, additional charges would be billed for each bid package based on the following
amounts for each discipline:
Architectural Structural Mechanical Electrical
$2,500 2,000 1,500 1,500
If a Bid Package only involves one discipline, only one of the above charges would be
incurred. If all disciplines were used in a single bid package, all charges would apply for that
bid package.
Structural design services are offered based on conventional spread footings and
standard foundations throughout. If the Owner's Geotechnical Engineer encounters
• marginal soil conditions requiring pile or drilled foundation systems, grade beams, and
structural on -grade reinforced slabs, the structural portion of the fee would have to be
adjusted.
Special Inspections are now required by the Building Code and the services of a
Structural Engineer are included in the basic services for that purpose. Eight (8) special
inspections with corresponding reports would be normal for this project and they are
included in the basic services listed at $2,560, but if the Building Official or CM required
additional special inspections, this would be billed at $320 per inspection and report.
Additional costs billed by the Architect include the cost of printing drawings and
specifications and other miscellaneous reimbursable expenses, all similar to the last two
fire station projects. Thank you for allowing Mjorud Architecture the opportunity to
continue to serve the design needs of the City of Brooklyn Center.
Sincerely,
MJORUD ARCHITECTURE

FROM: Charlie Hansen, Finance Director
DATE: July 2, 1999
SUBJECT: Resolution of the Financial Commission Recommending to the
City Council that it Proceed with a Plan to Address the Structural
and Accessibility Issues at the Civic Center
The City Council requested that the Financial Commission and the Park Commission make
recommendations regarding building issues at the Civic Center.
The Financial Commission considered this issue at its meetings on May 13, 1999 and on
June 21, 1999. Deficiencies with the current Civic Center building were reviewed along
with cost estimates from the architect for the necessary repairs. The high cost of
remodeling caused the study to be extended to include a new building option. .
The following'excerpts from the minutes of the June 21, 1999 meeting record the Financial
Commission's recommendation to the City Council.
Resolution Recommen Construction of a New Co mmunity Center Addition.
Donn Escher reviewed the past discussions of the building proposals and referred the
Financial Commission to the draft resolution. The resolution expresses the
recommendation of the Financial Commission to the City Council that it proceed with a
plan to address the structural and accessibility issues at the Civic Center through pursuit
of option three: construction of a new building adjacent to the Community Center building
to provide additional new community space, accessability for the Community Center
building, and provide office space on the second floor of the Community Center addition.
A motion was made by Commissioner Jay Hruska to approve the resolution recommending
construction of a new Community Center addition. Commissioner Jerry Blamey seconded
the motion and all members voted in its favor.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
FINANCIAL COMMISSION RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the Financial Commission has reviewed the need to address major
system and building repairs, as well as accessibility issues at the Civic Center in both the
Community Center and City Hall buildings; and
WHEREAS, the Financial Commission recognizes the need to make substantial
investment in the Civic Center building complex; and
WHEREAS, several options have been reviewed by the Financial Commission and
i
in joint meeting with the City Council; and
WHEREAS, among the financially feasible options, the Financial Commission feels
that building a new Community Center addition would be the most cost effective and beneficial
way to address the many structural and accessibility issues facing the Civic Center complex of
buildings.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Financial Commission that it
hereby recommends to the City Council that it proceed with a plan to address the structural and
accessibility issues at the Civic Center through pursuit of option three: construction of a new
building adjacent to the Community Center building to provide additional new community space,
accessibility for the Community Center building, and provide office space on the second floor of
the Community Center addition.

Adopted by the Financial Commission June 21, 1999.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the Park and Recreation Commission has individually reviewed the
need to address major system and building repairs, as well as accessability issues at the Civic
Center in both the Community Center and City Hall buildings; and
WHEREAS, the Park and Recreation Commission recognizes the need to make
substantial investment in the Civic Center building complex; and
WHEREAS, several options have been reviewed by the Park and Recreation
Commission individually and in joint meeting with the City Council and Financial Commission;
and
WHEREAS, the Park and Recreation Commission would, ideally, prefer a plan that
would remove all the existing structures and create completely new building space for the Civic
Center complex; and
WHEREAS, the Park and Recreation Commission recognizes that such an
ambitious building plan would exceed the City's current resources and abilities to deal with
building issues; and
WHEREAS, among the financially feasible options, the Park and Recreation
Commission feels that building a new Community Center addition would be the most cost effective
and beneficial way to address the many structural and accessability issues facing the Civic Center
complex of buildings.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Park and Recreation Commission
that it hereby recommends to the City Council that it proceed with a plan to address the structural
and accessability issues at the Civic Center through pursuit of option three: construction of a new
building adjacent to the Community Center building to provide additional new community space,
accessability for the Community Center building, and provide office space on the second floor of

At the joint meeting of the City Council and the Chairs of the advisory commissions, the
City Council asked for a list of tasks each commission might undertake in the coming year.
In response to this, the Financial Commission reviewed its activities and concluded that
it would be beneficial to update Resolution 92 -168 which established the Financial
Commission.
The Financial Commission considered this issue at its meetings on May 13, 1999 and on
June 21, 1999. It was concluded that a completely new resolution would be the best way
to define the Financial Commission's role.
® The following excerpts from the minutes of the June 21, 1999 meeting record the Financial
Commission's recommendation to the City Council.
Resolution Updati Financial Commission Duties an d Responsibilities.
Donn Escher explained some of the history of the Financial Task Force/Financial
Commission. He drew the Financial Commission's attention to the draft resolution and
reviewed the major factors in the resolution. Jerry Blamey suggested deleting the words
"during the temporary leave" from the paragraph on the second page of the resolution which
deals with temporary absences of commissioners.
A motion was made by Commissioner Mark Nemec to recommend to the City Council the
resolution Updating Financial Commission Duties and Responsibilities, as amended.
Commissioner Jerry Blamey seconded the motion and all members voted in its favor.

Application of Community Money Centers, Inc. for currency exchange license
Dear Ms. Rosenbaum:
This law firm represents Community Money Centers, Inc., which applied for a currency
exchange license to operate a Money Center store at 6219 Brooklyn Boulevard in Brooklyn

As you are aware, the City Council voted June 14, 1999 to deny our client's application. By
letter dated June 30, 1999, our client was advised by the Minnesota Department of Commerce
that its application was denied because of the denial by the City of Brooklyn Center.
In accordance with Minn. Stat. §53A.04, Community Money Centers, Inc. hereby requests a
hearing on the City of Brooklyn Center's denial of its currency exchange license application. I
understand this hearing will take place at the next regular City Council meeting. At your earliest

POLICE
MEMORANDUM
TO: Anne Finn, Administration Specialist
FROM: Tami Leiran, Police Administrative Aide
DATE: July 6, 1999
SUBJECT: Money Center and Teller's II
Anne,
As I explained earlier, the request for criminal activity prior and proceeding the period in
which Money Center in Richfield and Teller's II in St. Louis Park opened is far from conclusive
evidence that these businesses caused an increase in calls for service or problems for the cities
involved. There are many factors outside the business (i.e. other businesses, bus stops, weather,
seasonality, etc.) that could cause the neighborhood to have an increase in calls for service. It is
not an accurate comparison of crime to base the number of calls for service prior and proceeding
the opening of a business in a designated area. The only information of value that one could use
is the actual number of calls for service reported for the business itself. There is absolutely no
way to determine if the check cashing businesses involved have any effect on the crime being
committed in that particular area. In addition, there is no statistical data available to support this
premise.
As far as the residential neighborhoods surrounding the business the same goes for them.
There is no way to determine that crime increased in surrounding neighborhoods by comparing
the calls for service prior to the business opening to a period of time once the business was in
operation. Again it would be like comparing apples to oranges. It is statistically not possible to
make that assumption.
I did call the two agencies you requested information from and the following is the best
information they could provide.
Richfield P.D. - Spoke with Jennifer Rabrugi in Crime Prevention (861 -9800)
Jennifer did a search for the number of calls for service for the 6500 Block of Nicollet
Avenue for 4/1/94- 4/1/95 and 4/1/95- 4/1 -96. Money Center is located at 6525 Nicollet Avenue
in a strip mall. Jennifer indicated that a good portion of the crime in that area is due to a bus stop
at 66th and Nicollet that criminals use to get in and out of the city. I inquired as to surrounding
residential neighborhoods and she reported that they are cornered off from the area of the
business. (See attached report from Richfield P.D. indicating calls for service for the 6500 Block
of Nicollet Avenue.)
4/1/94 - 4/1/95 (18 calls for service; 1 animal assist, 1 assist other agency, 2
checks /other forged, 6 alarm, 2 P.D. accidents, l- 911 hang -up, 1 person - suspicious,
1 parking violation, 2 thefts, and 1 open door /window.)
4/1/95 - 4/1/96 (80 calls for service; 31 alarms, 10 thefts, 8 checks /other forged, 2
public assist, 1 noise complaint, 3 vandalism, 2 shoplift, 2 P.D. accidents, 1 animal
at large, 6 person suspicious, 4 fire /assist, 2 vehicle suspicious, 1 parking violation,
1 recovered stolen property, 1 judicial matter, 1 disturbance, 3 harassment, and 1
threat.)
St. Louis Park P.D. - Spoke with Joan, Administrative Assistant (924 -2605)
Joan was asked to do a search for the block of 4900 Excelsior Blvd between 6/1/88-
6/1/89 and 6/1/89- 6/1/90 since Teller's II is located at 4901 Excelsior Blvd. Joan reported that
the computer system they have could not produce a report for all calls for service prior to 1989.
She could only produce a report for actual calls when a report was written. She also reported that
they only recently started reporting calls for service by neighborhoods, therefore she is unable to
provide any reports by residential neighborhoods. (See attached report for actual reports written
during the 1988 -89 and 1989 -90 time period.)

Pre -K - 12
* Three years ago Woodcrest Baptist Church here in Fridley held its first police
officers' Sunday. Frankly, we didn't have many police turn out and it was a bit
Deaf disappointing to our folks and to the police officers who were members of our church.
Ministry
* Then last year we sponsored another special Sunday to honor P olice officers. I
am appalled at all the harassment, restrictions, and ridicule our officers receive. It
Bus
Ministry appears to me that the liberal media encourages disrespect toward men and women who
enforce the laws.
*
Faith We called the special service "Blue and White Sunday" with some of our ladies
Promise designing ribbons to wear to show our support of our "home troops ", the police.
Missionary
� ogram Last year's "Blue and White Sunday" was an improvement over the first year.
* We were appreciative of the many officers who took time out of their busy schedules to
attend. Several brought their families. All our folks felt it was an exciting service and
Dynamic one in which we were all moved with appreciation and pride for the men and women
Youth who help protect us.
Program
* We're planning another "Blue and White Sunday" for August l Mark Rizzo,
Soul executive director of Freedom Flyer Ministries will again be our speaker. We'd be
Winning honored to have you and your family worship with us on this unusual Sunday to honor
Emphasis all law enforcement officers. A meal will be served to all law enforcement personnel
and city officials and their families after the service. We'll call you by phone to
* determine how many from your departments can come. You may wish to proclaim
Independent August 1 as "Law Enforcement Sunday" in your city. I have enclosed examples from
Premillennial various city mayors across the country.
Fundamental
Separatist Sincerely,
l
Clarke Poorman, Pastor
P.S. We had originally planned the "Blue and White Sunday" this year for
• August 15 but we have had to change the date to August l I hope this does not
create a hindrance for you and the police force there.

City Council Agenda Item No. 8g
• MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 7, 1999
TO: Michael J. McCauley, City Manager
FROM: Diane Spector, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Staff Report RE: Brooklyn Boulevard Street and Enhancements Projects
This memo provides an update on the status of the Brooklyn Boulevard Street and Enhancement
Projects.
Street
Consulting engineers OSM Inc have submitted plans to Mn/DOT State Aid for initial review.
This review process should take about one to two months. When that initial review is complete,
OSM will modify the plans to reflect State Aid's comments, and the final version of the plans
will be submitted to the City for review and approval by the City Council. It is likely this will be
August or September. At the same time, Hennepin County will begin drafting the Construction
Agreement which will detail cost sharing, construction requirements, and maintenance
responsibilities. The final version of this agreement would be presented to the Council in early
Fall, although basic provisions will be available at the time the Council considers the final plans.
Minor adjustments have been made to the plans since the Council last saw them, for technical
reasons, and in a few cases to minimize right of way takings.
Hennepin County has sent out initial right of way acquisition letters. Appraisals are under way
because this is a project with federal funding, temporary construction and slope easements will
be required from most if not all of the properties along the street.
Enhancements
Considerable discussions have taken place between staff, consulting engineers BRW and Cain
Ouse, Mn/DOT State Aid, and NSP regarding the proposed street lighting. In addition,
considerable discussion has taken place on how to administer the various parts of the
enhancements project, now that it has technically been rolled into the roadway project for
sunsetting purposes.
We have come to an agreement with State Aid that the enhancements portion of the project will
be completed in three packages, or phases. The first package or phase consists of all the work
between Noble /71 st and the north City limits. This includes replacement of the sidewalk,
• landscaping, and installation of street lights as well as the city entry monument. This package
would also include the entry monument at the south city limits, and the landscaping work in the
vicinity of TH 100. Finally, this package would include the supply of the street lights for the
roadway segment (but not the installation.) This work would be completed in 2000.
The second package or phase would be the enhancements associated with the roadway project.
This includes the colored concrete edgers to the trail, the colored concrete upgrades to medians,
sidewalk radiuses, etc. It also includes the installation of the street lights purchased as a part of
package 1. This work would be included in the contract for the roadway work. The third
package would be the installation of landscaping following the roadway project. This work
would occur in 2001 or 2002.
The reason for adding the street light supply to package 1 is that the Met Council has announced
that ISTEA projects that meet certain requirements are eligible for additional funding. These
requirements include: a cost estimate in which due to cost increases or design changes the local
agency's share is now more than 20 percent of the total; completion of necessary right of way
acquisition by August 1, 1999; and final approval of plans by December 31, 1999. We can meet
these requirements with package 1 and be eligible to increase our ISTEA funding for the
enhancements, perhaps by as much as $500,000. However, while the roadway project meets the
first and third requirements, there is no way that all right of way can be secured by August 1,
1999.
Three easements need to be acquired for package 1: the expansion of one five foot sidewalk
easement to eight feet, and easements for the two entry monuments. All the remaining work can
be completed on existing easements. These new easements have been identified and property
owners contacted. It is expected that these easements will be acquired by August 1.
Costs and Funding Sources
Roadway and enhancements costs are still being fine tuned, but we have a very good estimate.
The roadway costs are well within the range of what we have identified as funding sources in the
CIP for the last several years. Until appraisals are complete, right of way costs will not be known
for certain, but appear to be within the range of what we have been expecting. Negotiations are
under way with the car dealerships on the east side south of 69th to put together a redevelopment
project which would be in the best interests of all parties.
The estimated cost of the enhancement project has risen substantially since the initial ISTEA
application. The CIP has carried a $1 million project ($500,000 ISTEA, $500,000 City) for the
past few years; the latest estimate is $1.5 million. The ornamental street lighting costs are
substantially grater than originally estimated, and quantities have also increased. Hennepin
County does not typically provide street lights on county roads (except at traffic signals), but
does insist that if the city chooses to install street lights, that they be in accordance with certain
lighting standards. This requires about 50 percent more lights than we had originally anticipated.
We will submit all the necessary documentation to Mn/DOT to obtain additional funding. If
Mn/DOT approves, it appears we will be eligible for about an additional $500,000, reducing our
cost to the $500,000 we had programmed all along. If a lesser amount is approved, then we will
have to scale back some of the improvements.
An improvement part of the enhancements package is the undergrounding of the overhead
electrical utilities. The cost estimate for this is about $800,000. A recent court case involving
the City of Oakdale established the right of cities to require power lines to be rebuilt underground
without requiring the city itself to pay directly for the additional costs resulting from
underground construction. The electric utility does have the right to seek recovery of that cost
from the ratepayers. We recommend that the City Council consider directing staff to explore this
option, and determine what, if any, ordinance amendments would be necessary to take advantage
of this.

RE: Underground Construction of Utilities
Dear Mike:
You have asked for information on the City's authority to require underground construction of
electric lines and other utilities in light of the decision in the City of Oakdale case (a copy of
which is attached). Jim Strommen of my office represented the City of Oakdale in that case
which established the right of the City to require power lines to be rebuilt underground without
requiring the City itself to pay directly for the additional costs resulting from underground
construction. A memorandum from Jim on the subject is also attached.
The City has several options if it wishes to increase the number of cases in which power lines, or
other utilities, are constructed underground. For example, the City could require underground
construction when City projects, such as road reconstruction, required the relocation or
reconstruction of power lines; the City could require underground construction when the utility
makes substantial improvements or replacements (this would avoid having to relocate newly
constructed lines at a later date and would take advantage of the funds the utility has already
dedicated to a reconstruction project); or the City could require all overhead lines to be
constructed underground, presumably on some reasonable schedule and timetable.
To make an informed decision about how to proceed, the City will need information about a
number of items. It may be helpful to meet with NSP representatives to discuss these issues.
The City should determine, for example, 1) where overhead lines exist in the City and what kind
of lines they are; 2) how much it would cost to place such lines underground; 3) how the
underground construction costs might be reflected in increased rate costs to consumers in
Brooklyn Center; and 4) what power lines are scheduled for reconstruction or relocation due to
either utility projects or City projects.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Charlie LeFevere
FROM: Jim Strommen
DATE: June 18, 1999
RE: Rights of the City to Require Utility Facility Undergrounding
You have asked for information on the current law governing the rights of municipalities to
require undergrounding of facilities owned or operated by an electric utility or a
telecommunications company. Rights as they pertain to city - electric utility relationships were
recently clarified in NSP v. Citv of Oakdale, 558 N.W.2d 534 (Minn. Ct. App. 1999). The
principles can be applied to telecommunications companies, including cable television.
Following are the essential holdings of that case and statutory law.
RIGHT TO REOUIRE UNDERGROUNDING
1. Electric Utilities. The Citv of Oakdale case definitively established that a City has the
right to require the undergrounding of electric distribution (as opposed to higher voltage
transmission) facilities under Minn. Stat. § 216B.36, either by franchise or through police power
ordinances. This means that the city may enact and enforce an ordinance requiring new
distribution facilities or relocated distribution facilities to be undergrounded. The Oakdale
ordinance at issue also provided for undergrounding electric distribution facilities when the
utility itself sought a permit for repair or reconstruction of its own existing overhead lines. Such
a request could trigger the city's right to require undergrounding of the lines to be repaired or
reconstructed.
Not addressed in Citv of Oakdale but logically within the city's rights under the opinion, is an
ordinance calling for a gradual elimination of overhead distribution facilities. This would
® necessarily involve a plan carved out on a district by district basis or some other way. Because
of the significant cost, ultimately to City customers (see below) such an undertaking should
involve public hearings and input from the effected utilities.
JMS- 153048
KG400 -1
Richfield City Council
June 18, 1999
Page 2
• 2. Telecommunications /Cable Carriers. The City of Oakdale case involved a dispute
between a city and an electric utility. The language of the opinion, however, and existing
statutory law governing telecommunication rights in the right -of -way strongly suggest that a city
has an equal right to require undergrounding of a telecommunications carrier's overhead facility.
The city's right to require undergrounding is based on its police power, which has been
reaffirmed in this area by the state legislature in the recently enacted Right -of -Way Act of 1997.
Minn. Stat. §§ 237.162 and 237.163. Further, the City may be required to treat all utilities with
overhead facilities the same in undergrounding requirements. Minn. Stat. § 237.163 subd. 6(c);
237.163 subd. 4.
UTILITY RECOVERY OF COST FOR UNDERGROUNDING
1. Electric Utilities. The Citv of Oakdale case confirmed law that had not been the
practice between cities and electric utilities at least since 1975. That is, cities need not reimburse
electric utility for the added cost to the utility of placing facilities undergrounding. Existing
tariffs drafted by the electric utilities and approved by the Public Utilities Commission all
provide that the city must pay for the incremental cost for undergrounding often before the utility
proceeds with the request. Cities have uniformly complied with this language, until Oakdale.
This tariff provision was struck down in Citv of Oakdale. A fundamental element of the police
power is that in so exercising the governmental agency is not required to reimburse the object of
that request. Accordingly, the City need not reimburse NSP despite the cost incurred by it. The
electric utility has the right, however, the seek recovery of the extra cost from the ratepayers
through a petition to the Public Utilities Commission.
2. Telecommunications /Cable Carriers. Except for cable companies,
telecommunications carriers are not franchised and have historically not had the same tariff
provisions or issues with the municipal authorities seeking to underground. The principles
underlying the holding of Citv of Oakdale case would apply generally to cost recovery by the
telecommunications carriers.
MEANS OF COST RECOVERY
1. Electric Utilities. NSP and other electric utilities have cost recovery mechanisms for
the undergrounding built into their tariffs. The Citv of Oakdale case established that such
recovery must be from ratepayers, not taxpayers. The process by which an electric utility would
seek recovery of incremental underground costs would be via the tariffs in a rate design
established by petition to the PUC. If, e.g., NSP incurred a $200,000 incremental cost for
undergrounding in a particular city, it would petition to recover the $200,000, plus a possible
carrying charge, from the ratepayers through a surcharge. NSP has indicated its intent to
recover from the customers residing within the city requesting the undergrounding. Further, it is
likely that the PUC would favor such a recovery mechanism, based on past decisions and
comments on this issue.
• The options available to the city that is subject to this request would be to argue that some or all
of the cost should be spread out all over the entire rate base. Many costs of regulation specific
JMS- 162322
RC160 -1
Richfield City Council
June 18, 1999
Page 3
to a particular locality are spread throughout the entire rate base. This is done in the ratemaking
process, however, and not on a surcharge by surcharge basis after the rate base has been
established.
Further, it is fair argument that in any given location it is not simply the city residents who
benefit from the undergrounding, but rather the general population. Therefore, an argument that
less than one hundred percent of the undergrounding cost be charged back against the city
ratepayers has merit. The city subject to such a surcharge request would be given the
opportunity to participate in the PUC proceeding evaluating such request and make whatever
arguments it deems appropriate.
2. Telecommunications /Cable Carriers. I am not as familiar with the proceeding that
may be undertaken by telecommunications carriers to recover cost of undergrounding. Because
undergrounding is more of a standard in telecommunications than it is for electric utilities, these
costs are typically recovered through the general rate base. I am not aware of any instance where
a telecommunications carrier or cable company has sought recovery for undergrounding from the
requesting municipality or ratepayers in the city.
CONCLUSION
Undergrounding is a police power right over utilities electric distribution (as opposed to
transmission) facilities and probably telecommunications facilities. The cost is not a taxpayer
expense, unless the City chooses to participate in the added cost. Ratepayers may be required by
the PUC to pay for additional costs. Recovery may be limited to ratepayers residing in the cities
requesting the undergrounding, depending on the rate design adopted by the PUC.

• MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 6, 1999
TO: Michael J. McCauley, City Manager
FROM: Diane Spector, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Resolution Amending the 1999 General Fund Budget to Substitute Miscellaneous
Bituminous Improvement Projects for Sealcoating
Over the past several weeks, Public Works staff has reviewed street conditions and pavement
management strategies. It is our conclusion that there are no significant areas of streets which
could benefit from sealcoating in either 1999 or 2000.
The areas of street maintenance focus in 1999 and 2000 will be the Southeast Neighborhood
north of 57th Avenue, and generally the streets north of 1- 94/694, between Humboldt Avenue and
TH 252, starting from the south and moving north. Maintenance provided will be primarily
crack sealing, edge overlays, and general patching. This type of maintenance will be more
beneficial in maintaining pavement integrity than sealcoating. At this time it is expected that
sealcoating will resume in 2001, and will focus on areas which have been reconstructed, starting
with the Northwest Neighborhood. We will propose in the 2000 budget that instead of
sealcoating we mill and overlay several older bituminous alleys in the Southeast Neighborhood
which are in poor condition.
The 1999 General Fund Budget includes $90,000 for sealcoating. As we will not be
recommending a sealcoat project in 1999, we request authorization from the Council to instead
use part of these funds to complete several high priority pavement projects which otherwise
would have been submitted in the 2000 budget. These projects include:
• Mill and overlay City Garage east parking lot -- $19,000. This item was redesigned out
of the 1995 Central Garage improvement project when the project's estimated cost
exceeded the project budget.
• Pave floor of City Garage cold storage building -- $11,000. The current floor is
compacted aggregate, which after years of driving on has become pulverized. This has
resulted in a continually worsening dust problem, which is a problem for maintenance as
well as employees who must work in this very dusty environment. This item was
redesigned out of the 1995 Central Garage improvement project when the project's
estimated cost exceeded the project budget.
• City Garage Yard storage bin fence -- $3,625. As it becomes more difficult and costly for
® residents to dispose of items such as appliances, construction waste, yard waste, etc.
through their regular garbage hauler, there has been a growing problem with persons
I
illegally dumping these items in the storage bin in the Yard. The City must then pay
commercial rates to dispose of these items, which can total several hundred dollars or
more each year. City staff haul these items to the disposal sites, so excess volume also
means additional trips to the disposal sites, and unnecessary use of staff and equipment
which would be better used performing maintenance. We recently installed a rolling
fence to close off the yard from the main drive, however, persons illegally dumping
simply throw items over the top of the fence. This item would increase the height of the
fence and box in the large waste area, so no items could be tossed over the fence. Staff
are also working with the Police to try to address this problem.
• Rehab West Palmer Lake Park parking lot -- $24,500. The south section of the parking
lot has settled to the point where it is very often under water and unusable. It is proposed
to correct the grade and drainage of and reconstruct the south section of the parking lot,
then repave both sections. This item was included in the CIP for 2001, but because of the
immediate drainage problem we recommend that it be completed as soon as possible.
The estimated cost of these items is $58,125, based on initial quotes received. The actual cost
would be based on the best quotes received and for the actual work performed. We recommend
that the remainder of the $90,000 budgeted for sealcoating be transferred at the end of the year to
the Special Assessment Construction Fund to help fund the Neighborhood Street and Utility
Improvement Program.

FROM: Scott Brink, City Engineer 0
SUBJECT: Resolution Establishing Improvement Project No. 1999 -20, Azelia Avenue
Improvements and Authorizing the Preparation of Plans and Specifications
On May 24, 1999, the City Council approved a resolution providing for redevelopment of the
Joslyn site property located north of Lakebreeze Avenue. Initial grading and construction on the
site has commenced.
One of the conditions of approval provides for the upgrade or reconstruction of Azelia Avenue
between Lakebreeze Avenue and the site. Upon completion of the initial phase of construction
(completion of the Wickes Distribution Center facility), access into the facility will be from
Azelia Avenue. The required upgrade of this short (approximately 110 meters) segment of street
can generally be described as a reconstruct and widening of the existing street.
At this time, Azelia Avenue is about 9 meters wide and the existing pavement surface is in poor
condition. Structurally, the street cannot adequately provide for the heavier traffic loads that will
utilize the street, and no curb and gutter is present as well. At this time, the City has commenced
only some very preliminary survey work; therefore, an actual preliminary design is not yet
available.
It is proposed to reconstruct Azelia Avenue to adequately support the delivery trucks and heavier
vehicles, and to widen the street to at least 11.5 meters. This width would provide for a lane of
traffic in each direction, and extra width to accommodate the turning movements of the larger
vehicles. However, the actual width and design of the street will be refined further as
preliminary design continues. An additional right turn lane from westbound Lakebreeze Avenue
to northbound Azelia will also likely be needed. These design parameters will be firmed up as
the traffic consultant concludes his work.
Main access to the site from Azelia Avenue resulted in part from extensive discussions between
Mn/DOT, the site developer, and the City. As a result of Mn/DOT's future reconstruction of
T.H. 100 in this area, and its related design issues (such as raising of the railroad crossing at
France Avenue), various alternatives and scenarios for maintaining access to and from the
commercial /industrial area as well as the neighborhoods to the north were discussed. The
extension of Azelia through the site and connecting with France Avenue has been determined to
be the only feasible alternative. Staff has had extensive discussions with Mn/DOT design
engineers, and all parties have concluded that the only feasible alignment of this Azelia extension
e is approximately its current location. There is some flexibility, it is a staff priority to keep the
west curb line in approximately the same location and perform any widening to the east, but there
are multiple constraints, including accommodating neighborhood traffic on Lakebreeze and the
south leg of Azelia.
Although Mn/DOT has not yet fully engaged in the design of this segment, they have assured
staff that the Azelia extension will be pursued in their final design. Such an extension would
likely not occur for 3 -4 more years (when TH 100 is improved). However, the immediate design
and construction of Azelia between Lakebreeze and the Joslyn site will consider its future
extension, and therefore be designed and constructed in consultation with Mn/DOT and State Aid
standards. The site developer has also developed his site design to accommodate Mn/DOT.
Input received from residents in the immediate area will also continue to be solicited, as it is
proposed to perform all widening to the east (on land from the developer's property), and not
encroach upon existing resident property on the west side of Azelia. Any landscaping and/or
parking issues will also be considered in the design.
The improvement of Azelia Avenue between Lakebreeze and the site will be the responsibility onsibilit of
the developer. It is proposed at this time that the City design and construct the improvement, and
assess 100 percent of the cost in accordance with City policies and regulations.

MEMO
TO: Michael J. McCauley, City Manager
FROM: e A Chambers, Assistant City Manager/HR Director
SUBJECT:' Construction update on Police and Fire Facilities
Police Building
The construction trailer has been removed from the job site to make way for pavement and
landscaping installation. Cabling for cable TV is to be completed by Friday. The sign base is to
be delivered next week and installed shortly thereafter. Material delays on receipt of the bullet
proof glass and steel have been resolved, and installation of both is nearing completion. It is
anticipated that the building will be ready for move -in between the middle of August and early
September. Cost issues are being worked out with the security system and the card - reader
system. It is possible that installation of these systems could be delayed due to the need to bring
the cost of these systems back into line with the budget for the project, and because of the lead
time necessary to order the equipment.
The police will move into the building in stages, with the detectives and some administrative
staff being the first to move over to the site. Patrol Officers and Dispatch will not be moved into
the building until installation of the new communications center is complete, and staff has been
trained in use of the new equipment. It is anticipated that all of the moving should be completed
by the end of October.
Fire West
This project is moving rapidly toward completion and move -in is anticipated for mid - August and
early September. All items must be moved into the new building before the demolition of the
old station can take place.
Fire East
This building is very close to completion, and will be receiving flooring and carpeting within the
next two weeks. It is anticipated that the Fire Department can be back into this building by early
August.
