RESOLUTION AWARDING THE SALE OF $1.075.000 GENERAL OBLIGATION
IMPROVEMENT BONDS. SERIES 1997A: FIXING THEIR FORM AND
SPECIFICATIONS: DIRECTING THEIR EXECUTION AND DELIVERY: AND
PROVIDING FOR THEIR PAYMENT
City Manager McCauley introduced Mr. Bob Thistle, Springsted Public Finance Advisors. Mr.
Thistle noted the City's excellent bond rating for the general obligation bonds. This rating is
based on a stable economy supported by the City's proximity to the Twin Cities, strong
finances characterized by ample reserves, and an above average but manageable debt position.
Conservative budgeting has enabled the City to accumulate sizable fund balance levels, as
evidenced by an unreserved General Fund balance of 55.4 percent of operating revenues for
fiscal 1996.
The City Manager presented a tabulation of the proposals which had been received in the
manner specified in the Terms of Proposal for the Bonds.
The recommendation was to accept the award of Piper Jaffray, Inc., First Union Capital
• Markets Corporation, for a true interest rate of 4.4901 percent.

CONFERENCE ROOM B
CITY HALL
CALL TO ORDER
The Brooklyn Center City Council met in a continued budget work session and was called to
order by Mayor Myrna Kragness at 7:30 p.m.
ROLL CALL.
Mayor Myrna Kragness, Councilmembers Kathleen Carmody, Debra Hilstrom, Kay Lasman,
` and Robert Peppe. Also present: City Manager Michael J. McCauley, Assistant City Manager
Jane Chambers, Finance Director Charlie Hansen, Public Services Director Diane Spector, and
Council Secretary LeAnn Larson.
1. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
City Manager McCauley inquired if there were any Council questions on the Capital
Improvement Program.
Public Services Director Diane Spector briefly explained a preliminary report of the
Neighborhood Street and Utility Improvement Program. Mileage of streets improved since
1985 and proposed for improvements in the next five years was shown in a table. The
improvements for 1998 -2002 are for the street projects shown in the five -year CIP.
Ms. Spector also explained the concept of establishing the city parks as destination parks as
replacement needs are met in the future.
Councilmember Hilstrom asked if there had been council consensus on the idea of establishing
destination parks.
Councilmember Carmody and Mayor Kragness stated they thought the idea an effective way
for the City to deal with park infrastructure replacement needs.

2. LIQUOR
City Manager McCauley noted the advantages and disadvantages of having a liquor store at
the 63rd Avenue North and Brooklyn Boulevard location when the new fire building is
constructed. Combining liquor and fire again compromises the efficiency and accessibility of
both operations and constrains both operations in the future for change. The budget needs to
be adopted so that the City has authorization to operate, even though there may not be three
City liquor stores in operation for the full year in 1998. The liquor budget will require
adjustment as actual results are in and a more definite plan is established.
Mr. McCauley asked that a Council work session be set in January to discuss the long -term
view of the liquor stores. Council consensus was to meet on January 20, 1998.
Council consensus also was to separate the fire station building from a liquor store location.
3. BROOKDALE
City Manager McCauley briefly updated the Council on recent discussions with Brookdale
owners.
A brief break was taken at 9:03 p.m. The work session resumed at 9:08 p.m.
4. TRUTH IN TAXATION
City Manager McCauley explained the presentation process for the Truth in Taxation Hearing
scheduled for December 3, 1997. He noted the overhead charts and graphs that he would be
using in the presentation portion of the hearing to help explain the budget.
5. GREATER MINNEAPOLIS METROPOLITAN HOUSING CORPORATION
City Manager McCauley explained that the $5,000 budget item to fund the Greater Minneapolis
Metropolitan Housing Corporation would come from Unallocated: other contractual if that was
satisfactory to the Council.
6. TOBACCO
City Manager McCauley updated the Council on tobacco sales at Centerbrook Golf Course and
the municipal liquor stores. He advised that staff would discontinue tobacco sales at the golf
course since that was an open environment for children and families. Tobacco sales under
those circumstances sends the wrong message. This report was in response to City Council
concerns raised by Councilmember Carmody on the City selling tobacco products. The City
Manager requested further discussion on tobacco sales at the liquor stores.
12/l/97 -2-
DRAFT
• 7. GOLF COURSE
City Manager McCauley reviewed a memo from staff regarding a plan for excess revenues at
Centerbrook Golf Course. A cash reserve of $50,000 should be targeted before any excess
would go to the General Fund.
8. CARL NEU
Council consensus was to meet on Friday, February 27, 1998, with Carl Neu for the Facilitated
Council Retreat, starting at noon at the Earle Brown Heritage Center.
9. FIRE RELIEF BENEFIT LEVEL
City Manager McCauley explained the proposal by the Fire Relief Association to increase the
benefit level to $5,000. This item will be on the December 15 Council agenda.
Finance Director Charlie Hansen explained present funding for the Association and the
dilemma of defined contribution vs. defined benefit plans.
Councilmember Hilstrom suggested a $500 increase rather than the $1,000 increase requested.
She also questioned how our benefit level compares to other volunteer fire departments.
10. GENERAL FUND,
City Manager McCauley presented a comparison of revenues to expenditures for future years,
given no changes. With a projected 2.61% increase in revenues in 1999 and future years, there
would be a 1999 projected shortfall of $60,420, which would be a manageable amount to
reconcile in the budget process.

A motion by Councilmember Carmody and seconded by Councilmember Lasman to adjourn
the meeting at 10:29 p.m. passed unanimously.

CALL TO ORDER
The Brooklyn Center City Council met for the Truth in Taxation Budget Hearing and was
called to order by Mayor Myrna Kragness at 7 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Mayor Myrna Kragness, Councilmembers Kathleen Carmody, Debra Hilstrom, Kay Lasman,
and Robert Peppe. Also present: City Manager Michael J. McCauley, Assistant City Manager
Jane Chambers, Finance Director Charlie Hansen, City Assessor Stephen Baker, and Council
Secretary LeAnn Larson.
• PRESENTATION
City Manager McCauley explained the purpose of this meeting, that being to give the public
an opportunity to make comments and ask questions regarding the proposed levy and budget.
By state law, the Council may not take action to adopt the budget at this meeting.
The City Manager announced that the final budget would be adopted at the December 15, 1997,
Council meeting at City Hall at 7 p.m. A hearing on the budget will be held at that time.
City Manager McCauley gave an overview of the 1998 proposed General Fund budget and
preliminary levy. In comparison of actual operating budgets from 1997 to 1998, there is a 2.60
percent increase in revenues, including a 2.31 % increase in real estate taxes. With the police
and fire bonds, total revenue will increase 8.75 percent (including a total tax levy increase of
14.47 %).
Mr. McCauley stated that the Earle Brown Heritage Center projects operating self - sufficiency,
the Golf Course projects cash flow of operations in order to retire principal on debt, the
Economic Development Authority is moving along on the 53rd Avenue and Linkage Project,
and the figures for the liquor stores will need reworking as the year progresses and plans are
made to review the recently received study, as well as the dislocation of the Brooklyn
Boulevard Liquor Store due to construction of a new fire station.
•
12/3/97 -1-
I
Mr. McCauley noted the shift in tax burden from commercial properties to residential •
properties. Residential properties are making up a larger percentage of the total tax burden due
to changes in state law reducing mg tax capacity rates for commercial and industrial properties.
Mr. McCauley also noted that the impact of the police and fire bonds is levied on market value,
instead of tax capacity.
PUBLIC INPUT
A motion was made by Councilmember Lasman to open the public hearing. The motion was
seconded by Councilmember Carmody and passed unanimously.
Nancy Carlson, 6024 Aldrich Avenue North, questioned the Administrative Services charge
in the budget. The City Manager explained that portions of salaries were allocated to Enterprise
Funds for their share of administrative, finance, payroll, and similar costs.
Ruth Johnson, 5616 Colfax Avenue North, noted an on -going code enforcement issue of a
neighbor.
Dan Remiarz, 6201 June Avenue North, asked about the bond issue. The City Manager
responded and described the recent bond issue.
Councilmember Hilstrom stated she would vote NO on the budget due to several unresolved S
issues:
1) Health and safety issues involving the wading pool in the Community Center haven't
been addressed.
2) The reliance of the police budget on $100,000 from inspection fees generated by
Brookdale redevelopment, which may not happen.
3) The Earle Brown Heritage Center lacks a solution to capital improvements required by
the structure, parking problems, and a business plan.
4) There is uncertainty concerning the City's liquor stores.
5) There is an increase in the amount budgeted for civic events.
6) The tax increment financing district for Earle Brown Heritage Center is $150,000 short.
Councilmember Hilstrom suggested outcome -based funding that the City spend smarter. She
stated we need to measure progress through results rather than effort.

AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO REGULATION OF PUBLIC RIGHT -OF -WAY:
ADDING NEW SECTIONS 25 -1000 THROI.7GH 25 -1032 TO THE BROOKLYN CENTER
CODE OF ORDINANCES
This ordinance was first read on October 14, 1997, published in the official newspaper, tabled
on November 10, 1997, and the public hearing is continued this evening.
City Manager McCauley noted that the proposed ordinance was essentially the League of •
Minnesota Cities /City Engineers Association model ordinance regulating the use of right -of-
way. This ordinance may need to be changed in the future when the Public Utilities
Commission adopts rules. However, staff feels it prudent to have an ordinance to protect the
City's rights of way and to regulate placement of utilities in those rights of way. The City has
enjoyed the cooperation ofNSP, Minnegasco, and U.S.West but is concerned about companies
that might damage recently reconstructed streets without regulation.

CITY ADVISORY COMMISSION AUTOMATIC RESIGNATIONS
City Manager McCauley explained that each City advisory commission is established and
duties and responsibilities set forth, providing for removal of commission members by
automatic resignation when a commission member has had three consecutive unexcused
absences or unexcused absences from a majority of duly called commission meetings. Under
current policy, City staff liaisons inform the Mayor of such automatic resignations. This places
the City staff liaison in a tenuous position since the advisory commission members are
appointed by the City Council. This could be amended to provide that the City Council liaison
or the commission chair inform the Mayor of such automatic resignations.
Mayor Kragness noted that since Council liaisons are already at these meetings, attendance
records could be monitored by the liaison.
Mr. McCauley will draft the policy change for the next Council meeting.
RESOLUTION APPROVING AMENDMENTS TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RELIEF
ASSOCIATION BYLAWS
City Manager McCauley explained that the Fire Department Relief Association was requesting •

an increase in their lump sum benefit to $5,000 per year of service. Van Iwaarden Associates
has conducted an actuarial valuation and benefit study and determined the anticipated assets
available for benefits to be sufficient to support the proposed benefit level.
Councilmembers Hilstrom and Peppe questioned when the Fire Department Relief Association
might be converting the plan to a defined contribution plan.

available pension plans but that any change may involve up to two years to implement.

Program through the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in order to complete trail
linkage providing non - motorized access to Kylawn Park from the south. The total estimated

RESOLUTION REGARDING WEST FIRE STATION CONSTRUCTION AND REVIEW •
OF LIOUOR STORE OPERATIONS
City Manager McCauley explained that it appears that it would be more prudent and effective
to construct a freestanding fire station at 63rd Avenue North and Brooklyn Boulevard and to
relocate the liquor operations presently at 63rd Avenue North and Brooklyn Boulevard to
another location rather than combining both operations in one building. Combining liquor and
fire would continue a situation where decisions regarding building layout and access for both
fire and liquor operations would be compromised by virtue of being co- located.
Councilmember Peppe suggested amending the resolution with the following wording:
1. remove the wording from paragraph two "and to relocate the liquor operations at 63rd
Avenue North and Brooklyn Boulevard to another location rather than combining both
operations in one building"
2. add the word "possible" before the word "location" in the last paragraph.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 2, 1998
TO: Michael J. McCauley, City Manager
FROM: Scott A. Brink, City Engineers/
SUBJECT: Resolution Approving Change Order No. 2, Accepting Work Performed, and
Authorizing Final Payment, Improvement Project Nos. 1996 -06, 07 and 08,
Contract 1996 -G, Logan, James, Knox and 57th Avenues, Street, Storm Drainage
and Utility Improvements
On June 10, 1996, the City Council awarded a contract for the subject improvement to Northdale
Construction, Inc. of Rogers, Minnesota.
As provided per Resolution No. 96 -115, approved by the City Council, a 15 per cent contingency
in the amount of $303,756.91 was added to the original contract bid for a total projected contract
cost of $2,328,796.07. The contingencies are added to cover the cost of construction for those
items that are unknown at the time of plan preparation, omissions and/or utility conflicts
discovered only after actual construction commences.
The original contract amount was $2,025,046.07. On February 24, 1997, the City Council
approved Change Order No. 1 which revised the contract amount to $2,075,167.03. The total
amount of Change Order No. 2 is $25,757.20. Combined with Change Order No. 1, the total
amount of change orders for this project is $75,878.16, or 25 per cent of the approved 15 per cent
contingencies. The total final contract amount would therefore total $2,095,882.23.
Change Order No. 2 essentially consists of additional quantity items (primarily aggregate base,
bituminous pavement, storm sewer, and curb and gutter) to slightly extend the improvement west
to include portions of 54th Avenue and 56th Avenue that border Logan Avenue corner
properties. This work was performed primarily at the request of corner property owners who
desired to see the improvement completed around the corner and along their entire property.
Complete improvement around the corner properties is generally consistent with the work
performed on past projects, and also eliminates the need to improve those segments in future
projects. The additional work was therefore completed accordingly, and the property owners
were assessed for the improvements.
The Contractor and the Engineering Department typically agree to carry any extra work invoices
and overruns of quantities until the contract has been substantially completed. This eliminates
the necessity to prepare change orders each month for council approval. The City also benefits
• by continuing interest earnings on unexpended funds.
• The project is now complete. The project was substantially completed in November of 1996, and
the final wear course, sidewalk and turf restoration for 57th Avenue were all completed in the
Spring of 1997. However, some surface texture problems with several concrete driveway aprons
remained. These problems have been addressed, and were repaired and/or resolved accordingly
in October of 1997. In addition to the standard one -year construction warranty, the Contractor
has also offered a 2 -year warranty on the driveway apron repairs, effective October of 1997.
It is recommended to approve Change Order No. 2 and accept the work performed in the amount
of $2,095,882.23

• MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 2, 1998
TO: Michael McCauley, City Manager
FROM: Scott Brink, City Engineer 50
SUBJECT: Resolution Approving Change Order Number 1, Improvement Project No. 1997 -17,
Contract 1997 -N, Shingle Creek Regional Pond
On October 27, 1997, the City Council awarded a contract in the amount of $727, 467.45 to DKH
Excavating, Inc. for construction of the Shingle Creek Regional Pond. Construction has commenced
and is proceeding ahead as scheduled.
A significant portion of the funding for this project is being provided as a result of a grant agreement
between the State of Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development Community
Development Division and the City of Brooklyn Center. The City of Brooklyn Center is also sharing a
portion of the construction costs.
Since the contract was awarded, an issue regarding prevailing wage rate requirements has been raised.
• Minnesota Law states that certain projects receiving grants from the State of Minnesota do require
worker compensation in accordance with State of Minnesota Prevailing Wage requirements. Because
this was a utility project, it was unclear whether it would be required to be a prevailing wage contract
as compared to a street project, which very clearly is required to be prevailing wage. In the end, the
contract specifications did not include specific stipulations for the payment of said wage requirements.
However, since that time some debate and question has arisen whether or not prevailing wage rates are
indeed required for this particular project. Upon an extensive examination of the specific nature of the
project, funding sources, and legal interpretation of State Statutes, the City Attorney has recommended
that prevailing wage requirements be in effect for this contract.
The application of prevailing wage rates will result in a higher overall cost to the Contractor to
complete the project. The Contractor has therefore been requested to submit revised unit cost figures
and documentation justifying price increases to meet the prevailing wage requirements. The
documentation requested and received consists of hours and wages initially utilized by the Contractor in
assembling the initial bid. Utilizing existing references and records for unit prices, expected work
hours, material costs, and listings of the most current prevailing wage rates, we have been able to
verify with a reasonable degree of confidence that the price adjustments submitted by the Contractor
are justified. Specific increases vary between line items, depending upon the amount of work hours
and type of work (i.e., excavating, hauling, trenching, etc.), required to complete each task.
Based on the contract quantities, the resulting requirement of prevailing wages will result in an
estimated increase to the original contract amount of $65,472.58, or an increase of 9 per cent.
Obviously, the exact amount of the increase will depend on the final and actual quantities of work
completed. Although it is unfortunate that the prevailing wage requirement was inadvertently not
included in the original contract specifications, it is very likely that such inclusion would have raised
the amounts submitted by the seven other bidders as well. However, it should be mentioned that even
• increase, the overall revised contract amount ($792,940.03) for DKH is still significantly lower than
the second low bid submitted (Jay Brothers, Inc. at $827,633.32).
Council Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached resolution authorizing prevailing wage
requirements in accordance with Minnesota Law, and adjustment to the Contract 1997 -N accordingly.
•
• Member introduced the following resolution and moved its
adoption:

WHEREAS, funding sources for the project suggest that prevailing wage requirements
are required in accordance with Minnesota Law; and
WHEREAS, the contract documents in their current form do not include sufficient
provisions for prevailing wage requirements; and
WHEREAS, it is recommended that prevailing wage requirements be included in said
contract in accordance with Minnesota Law; and
WHEREAS, the inclusion of prevailing wage requirements will result in adjustments to
unit prices and contract amount awarded to DKH Excavating, Inc.
® NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn

DATE: December 29, 1997
TO: Michael McCauley, City Manager
FROM: Scott Brink, City Engineer,
SUBJECT: Resolution Establishing Improvement Project No. 1998 -16 , MAC Park Nature
Preserve Trail Project and Naming Fiscal Agent for Administration of Grant Funds
Received Through the Regional Trail Initiative Grant Program
This past year, an application was submitted to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) for funds to assist in the improvements to trails within the MAC Nature Preserve Area.
The funding requested was made available to selected applicants as part of the National
Recreational Trails Grant Program. The program makes funding available for specific projects
with a 50% local match required. Projects are awarded funds based upon specific Federal and
State review criteria, and the degree of need and justification provided by applicants.
Recently, notification was received that funding as been approved for trail improvements within
g PP P
the MAC Na
• tore Preserve area. MAC Park is a wetland/wildlife area nestled on the east side of
the Crystal Airport and bordering the cities of Brooklyn Center and Crystal The land is owned
by the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) but leased to the Cities of Crystal and
Brooklyn Center for park purposes. The site is a unique undisturbed natural and wetland area
that provides considerable natural enjoyment and education by the general public. Smaller
pockets of higher timbered areas also exist. The combined wetland and wooded areas provide
substantial amounts of wildlife habitat and natural amenities that are enjoyed b man residents
Y Y
of both cities. However, for most of the year, it is not possible to access the entire park (in
particular the northern part) because of wet conditions and standing water. The park is directly
accessible from both cities at several locations, including Kylawn Park. Signs identifying the
nature area are posted at entrances in each City.
An unfinished looped trail system currently exists around the perimeter of the park. A
substantial portion of the trail has been improved with wood chips and some boardwalk using
available funds and some volunteer work. However, the northern portion of the loop is
unimproved and unaccessible during the majority of the year due to wet conditions, standing
water and considerable amounts of vegetation. As part of the trailway improvements, it is desired
to construct a timber boardwalk and bridge over this unimproved portion in order to complete the
trail loop. The proposed project would therefore include the construction of about 400 total feet
of boardwalks and trail improvements. This would complete a perimeter trail system for use by
walkers, runners, cross country skiers, and school and nature groups.
•
• The estimated cost of the improvements is $25,000. $12,500 would be available from the DNR
grant, with the remaining cost being split between the cities of Crystal and Brooklyn Center
(each City's cost $6,250). Funds have been earmarked in the 1998 budget to cover the City's
share of the costs.
Although the matching grant money has been approved by the DNR, an extensive amount of
administrative work must be completed before funding may be released. This work includes
required reviews and approvals of the local watershed, environmental assessment worksheets,
wetland impact reviews, etc. In addition, a resolution and/or legal certification from the
governing authority (applicant) must be provided that demonstrates the following:
1. Shows concurrence with the trail development being partially funded by the Regional
Trail Initiative Grant Program, and
2. Names the fiscal agent from the unit of government for the project.

FROM: Charlie Hansen, Finance Director C H
DATE: January 5, 1998
SUBJECT: Resolution Setting Special Assessment and Internal Loan
Interest Rates for the Year 1998
On May 13, 1996, the City Council adopted by motion a policy recommended to them by
the Financial Commission and the staff which established a method for annually setting
interest rates for special assessments and internal loans. The policy uses the net interest
rate from the City's most recent bond sale and adds another two percent to cover the cost
of administration and provide protection from changes in market interest rates over the life
of the special assessment.
The exception to using our last bond sale would be if we didn't have one in the past year
or if interest rates had changed substantially since then. In the case of this year, we did
have a bond sale on December 1, 1997 and interest rates haven't changed substantially
since then.
The attached resolution sets the interest rate at 6.5 % for the year 1998. This rate will be
used on any special assessments levied during 1998 and means that internal loans will also
be charged 6.5 %. We have been using 7 % for these purposes since 1994 when the City
Council adopted that rate in Resolution 94 -08.
•

RESOLUTION SETTING SPECIAL ASSESSMENT AND INTERNAL LOAN
INTEREST RA TES FOR TH YEAR 1 998
WHEREAS, the City Council adopted by motion a policy on special assessment and
internal loan interest rates on May 13, 1996; and
WHEREAS, the policy on interest rates calls for the rate to set at the rate from the
last bond sale plus 2 %, with the result rounded off to the nearest half percent; and
WHEREAS, the City of Brooklyn Center last sold bonds on December 1, 1997 at
a net interest cost of 4.4901 %.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, that the annual rate of interest to be charged on special assessments
and on loans by the Investment Trust Fund to all other City funds be set at 6.5 %, effective for the
year 1998.
