REPRESENTATIVES OF MINNESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY AND MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH (NOTE: ITEMS RELATING TO COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS I ID AND 11E) Mayor Kragness indicated that the City Council and representatives from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and the Minnesota Department of Health received questions to be answered by the Brooklyn Center Community Association (BCCA) and informed audience the BCCA's questions would not be answered unless the representatives of the MPCA and the Minnesota Department of Health felt comfortable answering the questions since the questions had only been received today. She wanted it known by the BCCA and the audience that the representatives present this evening were available to answer previous questions that had been raised at the February 11, 2002, meeting. Public Works Director Diane Spector introduced John Betcher and Gerald Stahnke from the MPCA. Mayor Kragness questioned the Response Action Plan (RAP). Mr. Stahnke informed the Council that the MPCA had received the RAP last October and have been reviewing it while waiting for the owner to endorse the plan. The MPCA wanted to know for sure if the owner was 100 percent behind the plan. 02/25/02 -4- The RAP had not been endorsed by the owner, Joslyn Corporation, to the MCPA until February 19, 2002. From that date, the MPCA has 60 days to review and respond. Mr. Stahnke discussed that the MPCA is wrapping up the RAP review and that the MPCA will be holding an informational meeting on March 12, 2002, at the West Fire Station, to receive comments and answer questions regarding the RAP. Mr. Stahnke discussed with the Council the request for the No Association determination and the State Law associated with the No Association Letter. Councilmember Peppe questioned the Federal and Minnesota Environmental Response and Liability (MERLA) laws. Mr. Stahnke informed the Council that the Federal Laws have different liability and that this is a complicated site since it is a Superfund Site. Councilmember Peppe questioned if the MPCA had any concerns moving forward with this project if the RAP is approved. Mr. Stahnke stated that there was no reason at this point of the review to believe that the road could not be constructed safely. Diane Niesen, 5107 East Twin Lake Boulevard, addressed the Council to ask the following questions of Mr. Stahnke and Mr. Betcher. Would there be any portion of the Joslyn property deleted by the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Superfund National Priority List. Mr. Betcher discussed that the State delisted the developable portion of the site and that the cleanup was done to their satisfaction. At the current time, the site is in the process of being delisted from the Federal MPL. The developable portion of the site will be delisted subject to the comment period. There is one portion on the west side near the lake which will not be delisted and continues to be worked on as a clean up site by the MPCA and Joslyn, the responsible party, who continues to cooperate with that clean up. Mr. Betcher informed the Council that when a site is delisted, the site continues to be reviewed every five years. He believes this site has had two previous reviews. Ms. Niesen continued conversations with Mr. Stahnke and Mr. Betcher regarding the BCCA's questions and wanted to know who would be responsible i h n q ponsib e f the road was constructed. Mr. Stahnke responded that the City would be voluntary responsible. Ms. Niesen asked if the No Association P Y �' res p Letter covers the City for all liability. Mr. Stahnke responded that the No Association Letter does not cover construction liability. He declined to offer a legal opinion regarding the pollution liability issue as it related to the No Association Letter. Ms. Niesen questioned the laws pertaining to the City purchasing this site via eminent domain and if this will create ownership at the State and Federal levels. Mayor Kragness reminded Ms. Niesen that the City Attorney went into that detail at the last meeting. 02/25/02 -5- Ms. Niesen informed the Council that she believes the City needs to hire an Environmental Specialist. City Attorney Charlie LeFevere questioned Ms. Niesen if there was an individual at the MPCA that was questioning this information. Ms. Niesen stated that a person at the MPCA, no name provided, stated that it is a complicated site. Mayor Kragness thanked Mr. Stahnke and Mr. Betcher for their time and asked the Minnesota Department of Health representatives if they would like to add anything to the conversation. Daniel Pena and Rita Messing addressed the Council. Mr. Pena informed the Council that the Minnesota Department of Health was asked by the MPCA to look at the site to evaluate potential human health risks and impacts associated with the construction and use of the road. He explained that the Minnesota Department of Health reviewed the report prepared by the consultant and provided the MPCA a few minor revisions. He indicated the Minnesota Department of Health has no issues with the way the roadway is proposed to be constructed. Based on the review, the Minnesota Department of Health doesn't see anything that stands out, and the report addresses most of the health concerns of the Minnesota Department of Health. 9. PUBLIC HEARINGS 9a. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS OF CHAPTER 12 OF THE BROOKLYN CENTER CODE OF ORDINANCES RELATING TO THE LICENSING OF RENTAL PROPERTIES Mr. Sell discussed that this ordinance amending sections in Chapter 12 would allow the City to revoke, suspend, or decline to renew any license upon the following grounds: • False statements on any application or other information or report required by this Chapter to be given by the applicant or licensee. • Failure to pay any application, penalty, reinspection or reinstatement fee required by this Chapter and City Council resolution. • Failure to correct deficiencies noted in notices of violation in the time specified in the notice. • Any other violation of this Chapter. • Failure to operate or maintain the licensed premises in conformity with all applicable state laws and codes and this Code of Ordinances. Councilmember Ricker questioned the changes. Mr. Sell discussed that the old ordinance did not have clarification and the recommended amendments would clarify the grounds for renewing rental licensing. Mr. LeFevere recited language from item number six in the ordinance amendment and informed the Council that the ordinance amendment would allow the City to have detailed grounds for renewing rental licenses. 02/25/02 -6- A motion by Councilmember Lasman, seconded by Councilmember Nelson to open the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Janine Atchison, 5907 June Avenue North, addressed the Council to discuss that she as a landlord is concerned about the proposed amendments and requested that the Council table this item to allow the rental industry to work with staff to work on this issue. Councilmember Ricker questioned Ms. Atchison if she uses the MHA Lease Agreement and why she would not be in favor of this proposed ordinance amendment. Ms. Atchison responded that she uses the MHA Lease Agreement and that she is not an expert in leases; however, does have expertise in rental properties. She feels that this ordinance was written for one piece of property and that other rental properties in the City should be considered before approving this ordinance amendment. Ms. Atchison indicated that she would be willing to get a group of rental property owners together to meet with staff regarding this issue. Mr. LeFevere discussed that the ordinance amendment was written due to the fact that the ordinance was not specific and well defined. He suggested that the Council continue with adopting the ordinance amendment and direct staff to work with the rental industry on their concerns. Councilmember Nelson questioned if one month would be long enough for the rental industry to work with staff before making a motion to adopt the ordinance amendment. Councilmember Peppe indicated that he respects and understands what Ms. Atchison had to say; however, the City needs to be able to deal with the problems that they are facing now. He stated that he likes the idea of adopting the ordinance amendment and working with the rental industry. Ms. Atchison stated that she believes this ordinance amendment needs to be more specific and identify standards for revoking rental licenses and that if the Council would allow the rental industry to work with staff on some issues, it would be beneficial. Councilmember Peppe indicated that he believes the 30 days will not make a difference and that he promises to do whatever it takes to work with the rental industry. Community Development Director Brad Hoffman addressed the Council and discussed that he had requested the City Attorney to review the ordinance and that the rental industries were not involved in the process. He discussed that Chapter 12 continues to be reviewed and that he would be willing to work with the rental industry on this issue and other upcoming reviews of Chapter 12. Councilmember Lasman indicated that the Council feels citizen input is valuable. She said Staff had indicated that a delay of 30 days is not a significant problem and could, in fact, be positive by allowing citizen input; therefore, she supports further work on the ordinance. 02/25/02 _7_ Jim Sodderberg, owner of Melrose Gates Apartments, addressed the Council to thank them and discuss that a timeline needs to be set and suggested that other city ordinances such as Richfield should be reviewed. A motion by Councilmember Nelson, seconded by Councilmember Peppe to table this item to the March 25, 2002, meeting.
