RE: ANALYSIS OF REVISED BROOKDALE CENTER PROPOSAL
Dear Mr. McCauley:
I have completed my review of the revised proposal from Talisman regarding the
redevelopment of Brookdale Center. Prior to reviewing the rate of return analysis, it is
important to review differences between the latest proposal and the one previously
analyzed.
The latest project proposed by Talisman includes a redevelopment budget of between
$60 -65 million dollars plus the initial acquisition price. The redevelopment costs
would result in the following improvements to the center:
• Renovation by Dayton's of its existing facility
• Total renovations to the existing mall areas and new mall areas totaling
184,776 SF
• Construction of a 20 screen theater which will occupy 89,000 SF of the Center
area.
• Construction of a 20,000 SF, 450 seat West Court amphitheater area.
The table on the following page depicts differences between the two budget
proposals.

Budget Previous New Proiect ( Variance
Proposal Proposal
Acquisition $25.374,407 $25.374,000 ($407)
Hard Costs $87,291,670 $56.352,528 ($30,939.142)
Soft Costs $9.950,000 $9,743,000 ($207,000)
Contingency $50,000 $1,000,000 $950,000
TOTAL $122,666,077 $92,469,5281 ($30,196,549)
As noted above, the new project proposal promotes a significant reduction in
expenditures. The reduction is most heavily pronounced in the hard costs associated
with the project. The total reduction in hard costs is in excess of $30 million. In
addition,the developer is increasing the size of the project contingency over the
previous proposal we reviewed. The contingency has been increased from $50,000 to
$1 million.
The reduction in project costs is impacted by a reduction in the overall size of the
project. The previous proposal had a final project size of 1,288,395 SF. The new
proposal states that the project will be 1,200,813 SF. This is a reduction of 87,582 SF.
The initial proposal exhibited a final project cost of $95 per foot. The new proposal
has a final cost of $77 per foot or a reduction of $18 per foot.
SOURCES OF FUNDS
The table below illustrates the anticipated Sources of Funds for the "new proposal'
and compares these numbers with the previous proposal.

MEASURING THE RATE OF RETURN
From the Earnout Analysis, the "cash on cash return" for the project can be
determined. Cash flow represents Net Operating Income (NOI) minus debt service on
mortgages to which the property is subject or to which the project will be subject under
the assumptions made by the developer. The Earnout Analysis projects the following
cash on cash return to the developer at the end of the project assuming city
participation at a level of $7 million.
Projected NOI (excluding tenant rollover expenses) $8,541,118
Less: Debt Service 6.865.353
Cash Flow $1,675,765
Equity Investment $7,500,000
Cash Flow Return (Cash on Cash) 22.34%
This is a reasonable cash on cash return for most real estate projects. The rate of
return is substantially impacted by the proposed level of participation by the City of
Brooklyn Center. Without the city's participation, the developer would be required to
invest additional equity in the project assuming the project costs are held constant and
the bank loan is maximized for the project. The following table illustrates various
levels of city participation and the rate of return to the developer.
Required Equity $14,500,0001 $14,500,000 $14,500,000
City Participation $7,000,000 $3,500,000 $0
Developer Equity Required $7,500,000 $11 ,000,000 $14,500,000
Net Cash Flow $1,675,765 $1,675,765 $1,675,765
Cash on Cash Return 22.34% 15.23% 11.56%
It is important to note that in information previously supplied by the developer, the
annualized cash flow from Brookdale Center as the mall is currently configured is
$1,853,052. If the developer undertakes the revitalization effort, the new proposal
projects that net cash flow will be $1,675,765; a decrease from its current level.
Further explanation is needed by the developer to identify why a substantial
investment is being made which will result in a net decrease in cash flow.

The developer has had discussions with the city that have indicated a potential
decrease in project costs. The remodeling of Dayton's may decrease from $12 million
to a level of $8 million. This would potentially reduce the equity in the project from
14,500,000 to $10,500,000. In addition, the contingency for the project may or may
not be used. This would reduce the level of equity by an additional $1 million. In the
event that this happened it is important to review the developer's potential return
assuming that the city's participation were held constant. The chart below illustrates
rates of return if the project is impacted by these variables.
Required Equity $14,500,000 $10,500,0001 $9,500,000
City Participation $7,000,000 $7,000,0001 { $7,000,000
Developer Equity Required $7,500,000 $3,5 00,0001 $2,500,000
Net Cash Flow $1,675,765 $1,675,765 $1,675,765
Cash on Cash Return 22.34% 47.88% 67.03%
As you are aware, in a project of this nature there are many variables to consider. I will
be happy to meet with the council to review this information. Please let me know if you
have any questions. It has been a pleasure to be of service.
Sincerely,
Michael J. Mulrooney

1999 -2003 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM
• INTRODUCTION
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a planning document. It is intended to serve as a summary
of the physical improvements proposed to carry out the City's strategic and comprehensive plans. The
CIP presents a schedule of improvements and an evaluation of the community's financial capabilities,
as well as its goals and priorities. In such a way, the community can be assured that it is adequately
prepared to meet the demands on its financial resources in the coming years.
No document or planning process, however, can anticipate all contingencies or opportunities.
Certainly not all of the capital improvements to be undertaken during this time period are known at this
time. Rather, the information contained in these tables represents a best estimate of improvements and
their costs based on present knowledge and expected conditions. The CIP is a flexible planning tool that
provides a means to determine which projects are of highest priority. The City can be responsive to
opportunities because it has available a comprehensive listing of its needs which can be evaluated and
reprioritized if necessary to take into account new or changing situations.
For the purposes of this report, a capital improvement can be defined as any major non - recurring
expenditure or any expenditure for physical facilities of government. Typical expenditures are the cost
of land acquisition or interest in land; construction of buildings or other structures; construction of
roads, utilities, or park improvements; and pursuit of community development activities. Most capital
improvements are typically funded from revenue sources other than the general fund. Maintenance of
these improvements p ements is primarily funded by the general fund.
The CIP is directly linked to the goals and policies, land use and community facility sections of the
Comprehensive Plan, since these sections indicate general policies of development, redevelopment, and
the maintenance of the community. Consequently, the primary objective of the CIP is to integrate the
specific goals, policies, and recommendations contained in the City's plan with its capability to pay for
and maintain capital improvements.
Meeting Strategic Goals
The City's draft Comprehensive Plan presents the framework for programming, development and
redevelopment within the community. This Comprehensive Plan identified the several general
community goals.
► Carve out a unique and desirable niche in the Twin Cities are by capitalizing on physical
attributes such as: location, highway and bus access; sound and diversified housing stock;
vibrant mixed -use center; attractive Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor; and interconnected park and
open space system.
Proiects consistent with this goal are:
► Completion of park upgrades including playground equipment replacement, shelter renovations
and replacement, and addition of amenities and linkages to regional parks.
► City participation in a Hennepin County street improvement project providing a major upgrade
to Brooklyn Boulevard, improving safety, increasing capacity, and coordinating with
redevelopment and enhancement projects.
► Gain an increased sense of unity and place by: retrofitting the public elements of the
neighborhoods; focusing and linking these neighborhoods toward an intensified, mixed use
retail- office- residential -civic core; making major street corridors and other public spaces highly
attractive; and celebrating diversity.
Projects consistent with this goal are:
► The continuation of a systematic program of neighborhood street and utility
improvement projects designed to upgrade neighborhood infrastructure and improve the
appearance of Brooklyn Center neighborhoods;
► Landscaping and enhancement projects on Brooklyn Boulevard and the three loops:
commercial, neighborhood, and park, as well as rehabilitation of streetscaping in the
Earle Brown commercial area; and
► A focus on the redevelopment of mature commercial sites by assisting in the
construction of infrastructure improvements, such as regional storm water ponds.
► Develop a positive public image and strong community esteem.
Projects consistent with this coal are:
► Construction of new public facilities and rehabilitation of existing facilities to provide
attractive and functional places for community gatherings.
Provide cooperative leadership and sound management.
Projects consistent with this goal are:
• Continued maintenance and repair of the City's infrastructure, such as: painting and
repairing well houses and water towers; rehabilitating sanitary sewer lift stations;
repairing storm sewer outfalls; repairing sidewalks and retaining walls; sealcoating
streets and trails; and replacing and expanding lighting at city parks.
These major projects focus on maintaining a high quality of life and neighborhood focus and on
redeveloping the community. The program provides for the continuation of the high level of public
services which Brooklyn Center has come to expect and to enjoy.
The detailed tables of proposed improvement projects are organized by functional area -- for example:,
water system improvements, park upgrades, street projects, etc. The CIP begins with a series of
summary tables and graphs showing the overall level of expected need and funding requirements. A
summary of the proposed capital improvements by functional area for the five year period of 1999
through 2003 is shown in Table 1. A summary by funding source is shown in Table 2. Table 3 shows
the projects proposed for consideration in 1999. All costs shown are best guess of future costs based
on 1998 estimated costs.
It must be understood that the scheduling of various improvements, especially those that are related to
development or redevelopment, can change substantially from year to year. However, the overall level
of improvements shown in this CIP represents the best judgment of what is necessary to maintain
infrastructure in good condition, and to provide those facilities which are necessary to support public
services through the year 2003.

1. PUBLIC UTILITIES
• a. Water Utility
The City's water utility provides service to 8,820 customers in Brooklyn Center. The City also has
cooperative agreements with the adjacent cities of Brooklyn Park and Robbinsdale to provide service to
about 100 border customers in those cities where Brooklyn Center has mains but those cities do not.
About 12 homes in Brooklyn Center receive their water from the City of Minneapolis.
The water utility finances all costs for water supply, distribution, operations and maintenance, and
capital improvements. Revenues are generated through water use charges, connection charges, and
special assessments. Charges are adjusted annually based on a rate study analysis which reviews
operation, maintenance, and construction costs and projected water demand.
Substantial cash expenditures have been made from the water utility in the past few years, and
additional substantial expenditures are expected in the next few years. These expenditures are
primarily cyclical in nature, such as painting and repairs to the three water towers and replacement of
the SCADA system. Once this cycle of larger scale improvements is complete, it will be several years
before items such as tower repainting come up again. Annual expenditures during the "off cycle"
years would primarily be associated with neighborhood street projects. In most cases, these represent
repairs to the system, rather than substantial replacements. However, in 1997, the utility replaced over
5 miles of water main in the Orchard West neighborhood, which historically has had water quality
problems and maintenance issues. There are a few other neighborhoods which are know to have
"hot" or corrosive soils where substantial replacements are likely to be required.
• As a result of these large capital expenditures, the balance in the fund has fallen considerably. This is
acceptable, as the balance was considered too high. The target balance in this fund is $1.5 million.
5 Year Improvements
Short term activities relate primarily to routine maintenance, and improvements associated with
Neighborhood Street and Utility Improvement Program.
1. Continue the routine well inspection and maintenance program to assure the continued
functioning of the existing wells.
2. Repair the interior and exterior coatings and provide for structural repair of the water
towers. Tower #2 was completed in 1997 and Tower #3 in 1998, with Tower #1
scheduled in 1999.
3. Rehabilitate the exterior of the older well houses, especially those located in residential
neighborhoods, and make necessary repairs such as replacement of doors, roofs, etc.
4. Make various water distribution system improvements to assure the system's ability to
deliver needed capacities to all portions of the City during peak demand periods and for
fire protection, and replace existing mains as necessary with the Neighborhood Street
and Utility Improvement Program.

Lone-term Improvements
Long-term improvements require detailed evaluation of capacity following the extensive distribution
system improvements constructed in the past several years, and future water quality regulations.
1 In 1998, the periodic Water System Analysis study last conducted in 1989 ("The Black
and Veatch study") was updated. The study concludes that Brooklyn Center's water
supply system is adequate, and that no new wells or elevated storage need to be
constructed. The emergency water interconnect with Brooklyn Park which was
constructed in 1997 is capable of supplying all the City's average day demand should
that need arise. An emergency generator capable of starting up a well was purchased
in 1998, and electric control modifications were made to several of the wells at the time
the adjustable speed drives ere installed to accommodate the generator. Water
modeling confirms that under most emergency scenarios, as long as the integrity of the
distribution system is not breached, water adequate for serving average water needs and
providing fireflow would be available.
The study also updated the estimated cost of an iron and manganese removal water
treatment plant, should the City desire to construct such a facility. At this time there is
no regulatory reason to do so, and alternative methods such as chemical treatment have
kept complaints about these naturally-occurring minerals to a minimum. Iron and
manganese are not aesthetically pleasing in the water, but no health hazards have been
City of Brooklyn Center Capital Improvement Program 1999-2003 Page 10
identified as a result of their presence. It is estimated that a plant to remove iron and
manganese, including an additional 1 MGAL ground storage, would cost about $8
million. A suitable site in the City's well field is available, and is reserved for such a
• future use, and the water distribution system has been designed to accommodate a
future plant with few adjustments.
2. In 1997 -98, adjustable speed drives were installed on the pumps at several of the City's
primary wells. A revised operations plan to manage energy use and maximize
production was implemented. n
p p nted. A final component of the revised operations plan is to
amend the City's periodic well maintenance program to provide major maintenance
based on running time rather than every 6 years. This component is still being
developed, and is expected to be implemented in 2000.
3. The following is a listing of major water utility facilities and future major maintenance
or replacement needs:

b. Sanitary Sewer Utility
The City's sanitary sewer utility provides service to 8,800 customers in Brooklyn Center. The City
• also has cooperative agreements with the adjacent cities of Brooklyn Park and Robbinsdale to provide
service to about 100 border customers in those cities where Brooklyn Center has mains but those cities
do not.
The sanitary sewer utility finances all costs for operations and maintenance and capital improvements
through sewer use charges, connection charges and special assessments. Charges are adjusted annually
based on a rate study analysis which reviews operation, maintenance, and construction costs, as well as
sewage treatment charges from the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (formerly
Metropolitan Waste Control Commission), which P rovides wastewater treatment for the entire Twin
City metro area. MCES charges account for about 3/4 the annual operating expenditure of the utility.
Substantial cash expenditures have been made from the sanitary sewer utility in the past few years;
capital expenditures in the next several years are expected to be less costly, confined mostly to
replacement of mains as necessary through the Neighborhood Street and Utility program. In the past
several years the utility has replaced the two primary lift stations, number 1 in Garden City Park and
number 2 on Lyndale Avenue, and relined or replaced where possible a substantial amount of
corrugated metal pipe which was used for some major interceptors in the late 1950s.
As a result of these large capital expenditures, the balance in the fund has fallen considerably. This is
acceptable, as the balance was considered too high. The target minimum balance in this fund is $1.0
million. While current projections show the fund periodically falling below that minimum, project
costs are reviewed annually, and adjustments may or may not need to be made in future years based on
more current information.
i
5 Year Improvements
Short term activities relate primarily to routine maintenance, and improvements associated with the
Neighborhood Street and Utility Improvement Program.
1. Continue routine sewer televising and lift station inspection and maintenance program.
2. Replace any segments of sewer which have been identified as needing replacement by
the television inspection program, and as necessary with the Neighborhood Street and
Utility Improvement Program. It has been determined that almost one -half of the
sanitary sewer pipe in the City is of the ungasketed, clay tile variety. This type of
material is highly susceptible to root and groundwater infiltration. On average about
half the sewer pipe in the Neighborhood projects have had to be replaced because of
extensive root infiltration. Many individual services have also been replaced for the
same reason. The projects identified in this 5 year plan are all in areas with known
instances of root infiltration, so it is expected that replacements will be substantial.
3. Replace two smaller lift stations which are reaching the end of their useful life, and
consider relining two associated segments of force main.
4. Stabilize the river bank around the section of the Mississippi River interceptor that is
immediately adjacent to the river.

C. Storm Drainage Utility
I
•
The
e C ty ' s storm drainage system consists of storm sewer piping and a series of storm water detention
ponds. The Local Water Management Plan has established a goal of constructing new and/or replacing
old storm sewers plus adding additional storm water ponds to provide adequate drainage for a five year
storm. The Plan also requires private developments to provide on -site drainage system and storage
necessary to treat storm water and retain all drainage on -site for up to six hours after a five year storm.
Substantial capital improvements have been undertaken in the years since the storm drainage utility
fund was established in 1991. Through revenue bonds the fund financed the acquisition of property
and the construction of Bob Cahlander Park, which includes a 4 acre storm water detention and water
quality pond. These revenue bonds will be retired in 2005. The neighborhood projects which have
been undertaken in the past several years have had very substantial storm drainage components. As a
result, the fund has expended all its reserves. A less aggressive level of improvement will be pursued
until reserves can be rebuilt and a minimum balance of $500,000 can be maintained. In addition, the
special assessment component of street improvements will increase so that property owners are paying
a larger share of the cost of installation of new storm sewers.
The storm drainage utility finances all costs for storm drainage system operations_ and maintenance and
capital improvements. Capital improvement bonds and special assessments supplement the SDU.
Charges are adjusted annually based on a rate study analysis which reviews all costs relating to the
storm drainage system.
• 5 Year Improvements
Short term activities include both major drainage improvements and improvements associated with the
Neighborhood Street and Utility improvement Program.
1. Complete storm drainage improvements as necessary with the Neighborhood Street and
Utility Improvement Program. Major trunk improvements have been made by several
previous projects, including 65th Avenue through the Orchard East and West projects;
57th Avenue from Humboldt to the east; and 55th Avenue through several projects,
including the Logan/James/Knox and Bellvue projects. Trunk storm sewer work in this
5 year plan is expected on 63rd Avenue from Brooklyn Boulevard to Brooklyn Drive.
Some additional ponding is being explored in several areas of Garden City Park. This
pending would pretreat stormwater before it is discharged into Shingle Creek.
2. Refine concepts for increasing stormwater storage in the Palmer Lake basin, and
construct the first phase of these improvements.
3. Coordinate with the city of Minneapolis the completion of the Shingle Creek Regional
Pond. As Brookdale Shopping Center redevelops, its utility and drainage plans will
have to be coordinated with the Regional Pond design.

• Long -term Improvements
The Phase II study which expanded upon the Local Water Management Plan has identified numerous
deficiencies and opportunities for improvement. As more funds become available when the revenue
bonds used to construct Cahlander Park and Pond are retired, a program of water quality improvements
will be developed. Of particular concern are strategies to improve water quality in Upper and Middle
Twin Lakes, and to complete what is expected to be a series of improvements in the Palmer Lake
basin.
2. STREETS, SIDEWALKS, AND TRAILS
Improvements to streets, sidewalks, and trails are funded from a variety of sources. The largest of
these are the Special Assessment Construction Fund, special assessments, the various public utilities,
Municipal State Aid, and the Local State Aid Fund. The sources of funds for the Special Assessment
Construction Fund are: the General Fund; special assessment revenue bonds; special assessments; and
excess funds transferred from bond repayment funds being closed out. The Municipal State Aid Fund
is supported by gas tax revenues which are apportioned to the state, counties, and cities to provide for
the construction, maintenance, and reconstruction of a network of roadways known as the State Aid
System. About 21 miles of City streets are designated MSA streets, and the City receives about
$800,000 annually for these improvements. Finally, the Local State Aid Fund consists primarily of
excess funds available when special assessments on a state aid project and MSA reimbursement exceed
the cost of the project. The LSA Fund is used primarily to finance sidewalk and trail improvements,
• and that part of improvements on an MSA project which is not eligible for MSA financing.
City of Brooklyn Center Capital Improvement Program 1999 -2003 Page 15
a. Streets
The City is responsible for maintaining just over 100 miles of streets; about 80 miles are classified as
• neighborhood streets, and just over 21 miles as Municipal State Aid streets. Capital improvements
generally include mill and overlay improvements and total reconstruction.
The Pavement Management Program conducted by Braun Intertec in 1992 has been used to help
identify the City's street reconstruction needs. From the results of this analysis and an ongoing review
of utility needs, a plan to reconstruct or rehabilitate as necessary the City's streets has been developed.
This plan has been designated the Neighborhood Street and Utility Improvement Program.
When this program began in 1994, it was anticipated that reconstructing or rehabilitating the City's
streets could take about 20 years, at a rate of 4 -6 miles of streets per year. On further analysis, it is
likely that financial considerations will not allow that pace to be sustained continuously. Accordingly,
it is expected that annually between 4 and 4.5 miles can be reconstructed until 2005. In 2005, 2006,
and 2007, debt on previous street improvement bonds will be retired, and the property tax levy
dedicated to servicing that debt can be redirected to the "pay as you go" projects. Realistically, after
this second five year program is complete, it will likely take about 15 years to complete the remainder
of the City.
The policies guiding the designation of streets to be improved are as follows:
1. Improvements proceed on a neighborhood basis, rather than piecemeal and strictly on
"need. " This approach has the benefits of a) minimizing construction cost by confining
improvements to one area rather than multiple sites throughout the city; b) approaching
drainage needs on an area wide basis; and c) allowing for more efficient construction
• administration and inspection.
2. Brooklyn Center has historically had two methods of identifying "neighborhoods ":
planning neighborhoods, and park service districts. These are fairly large areas, which
often do not make a suitable base for assessing infrastructure needs. To retain its
rims emphasis as one of infrastructure
p ry p rehabilitation, for the purposes of the
Neighborhood Program, storm drainage areas are the basis of identifying
neighborhoods. However, in many cases "natural" neighborhoods do not conform
precisely to drainage areas, so the boundaries of an improvement area might be
amended slightly to define a broader area. It may also for various reasons be prudent
to construct improvements to only a portion of a neighborhood at one time.
3. Priorities are established as follows:
a) Areas with multiple needs;
b) Improvements which could immediately reduce operating costs;
C) Areas petitioned for by a majority of the property owners;
d) Areas which would complete regional improvements; and
e) Improvements which could benefit from being coincident with redevelopment.
The following table details progress in past years and projected for the coming 5 years on meeting
neighborhood infrastructure improvement needs.

2. Work cooperatively with Hennepin County to accomplish the widening and
enhancement of Brooklyn Boulevard from 65th to 71st Avenues.
3. Complete Neighborhood improvements in the Southeast area with two projects, one
called Southeast, which generally completes work south of 57th and east of Irving, and
one called Tangletown, which is the streets from 53rd to Lilac Drive, west of Logan to
Centerbrook Golf Course /Lions Park. These projects would complete the streets south
of 57th in the Southeast Neighborhood, except for County Road 57, that is 57th from
TH 100 to Humboldt, and Humboldt from 57th to 53rd.
4. Complete Neighborhood improvements in the Garden City area, that is the residential
area between Brooklyn Boulevard and Shingle Creek, from CR 10 to I -694. This
would be accomplished over three years.
5. Complete Neighborhood improvements in the area west of Northport Park, from
France to Upper Twin Lake, from Eckberg north to Bass Lake Road.
6. Consider several landscaping and "streetscaping" projects to enhance the appearance of
the City and promote neighborhood unity and sense of place.
City of Brooklyn Center Capital Improvement 1 rogram 1999 -2003 Page 17
7. Paint all signal poles for which the City has service responsibility. LEDs installed in
1998 will dramatically reduced energy operating costs for the signal systems, and will
greatly reduce bulb changing and other maintenance requirements.

Long -term Imp rovements
• 1. Continue the rehabilitation and reconstruction of residential streets, under the
Neighborhood Street and Utility Improvement program.
2. Continue improvements under the Municipal State Aid street program. These
improvements may be coordinated with Neighborhood projects, or may be stand - alone.
3. Monitor intersections with growing traffic volumes for possible future traffic signal
installation.
4. Monitor neighborhood streets for possible traffic calming opportunities.
b. Sidewalks and Trails
A comprehensive sidewalk system which serves all major activity areas and corridors of pedestrian
traffic has been established. Only a few segments of this system remain to be completed. In addition,
the City has developed a plan for development of a comprehensive trail system to provide recreational
trails for pedestrians and transportation trails for bicyclists. Both on- street and off - street trails are
being developed, and integrated into the regional trail system which serves the Twin City metropolitan
area. Where feasible, trail construction is being coordinated with other construction projects to assure
lowest cost development of this system. Funding for sidewalk and trail improvements is provided by
two accounts within the Municipal State Aid Construction fund. Activities included in the CIP for
future consideration include:
5 Year Improvements
1. Continued maintenance and repair of existing sidewalks and trails. The City owns and
maintains about 35 miles of sidewalks, and about 12 miles of bicycle /pedestrian trails.
2. Construction of the 53rd Avenue Trail, which will link the Bellvue Lane redevelopment
area and the Southeast Neighborhood with the North Mississippi Regional Park..
3. Construction of a new trail in Bellvue Park from Bellvue Lane to the existing trail in
the central portion of the park.
4. Designation of on- street and on- sidewalk trail systems.
5. Repair of sidewalk retaining walls throughout the City.
6. Repair of landscaping nodes in the Earle Brown Farm commercial district.. Most of
the nodes have been repaired, either by the John Martin Drive street project, or a
separate node repair project. Some remaining nodes will be repaired as a part of the
Earle Brown Drive street project. The nodes on the west side of Shingle Creek
Parkway at John Martin Drive (the entrance to the Hennepin County Service Center),
will not be repaired because Hennepin County plans to expand the Service Center and
reconstruct that driveway into the Center.

III. PARKS, PUBLIC FACILITIES, AND CAPITAL EQUIPMENT
Improvements to parks and other public facilities such as the Civic Center, central garage, and fire
stations, are made primarily through the Capital Improvements Fund. Certain types of large-scale
equipment such as telephone systems are also purchased through the Capital Improvements Fund. The
Capital Improvements Fund is funded from a variety of sources, with the largest being the General
Fund and proceeds from General Obligation bond sales. In 1997, the Capital Improvements Fund was
split into two funds: the $1 million Capital Reserve Emergency Fund, and the Capital Improvements
Fund. The Capital Improvements Fund is intended for park, building, and other miscellaneous
improvements, while the Capital Reserve Emergency Fund is a restricted fund intended to provide
emergency financing for nonreimbursable emergency expenses or emergency cash flow. There is no
established minimum balance for the Capital Improvements Fund. Since all the improvements under
the following three sections are financed primarily through the Capital Improvements Fund, the table
projecting its balance in 5 years follows the final section.
a. Parks
The Brooklyn Center park system is in the process of being systematically renovated. A thorough
• review of park facilities has been completed, and a plan for improvements is under way. This plan
City of Brooklyn Center Capital Improvement Program 1999-2003 Page 20
I
anticipates the continued use of the operating budget to make improvements such as minor equipment
(picnic tables, benches, trash receptacles, etc.) replacement; trail repair and sealcoating; minor shelter
building and electrical repairs; landscaping enhancements; minor tennis court rehab; etc. Major
improvements such as playground replacement; shelter replacement; replacement of field and trail
• lights; parking lot improvements; etc. would be financed through the Capital Improvements Fund.
This plan uses the following principles to establish priorities for improvements:
1. Complete the replacement of playground equipment by 1999.
2. If possible, improve neighborhood parks coincident with neighborhood street and utility
improvements.
3. Provide geographic balance in improving parks, so that over a short period of time all
neighborhoods have access to at least one fully improved park.
4. Complete improvements at one Community Park per year.
5. If possible, when improving a park complete all improvements comprehensively. For
example, complete all playground, shelter, and other large improvements as well as
smaller improvements such as replacing picnic tables, trash receptacles, bleachers, and
drinking fountains, etc., repairing basketball courts, adding landscaping, sealcoating
trails, and replacing signs.
6. Improvements should be made systematically and annually from the Capital
Improvements Fund and General Fund, rather than periodically by bond issue
• proceeds. Annual expenditures from the Capital Improvements Fund should not exceed
$225,000.
These prioritization principles result in a program of seven to eight years of capital improvements.
This plan does not comprehend adding major new facilities, such as additional lighted ball fields.
Addition of new facilities would increase the length of the program. After about year ten, playgrounds,
tennis courts, etc. which had been improved in the past several years would start to require
rehabilitation or replacement, and the cycle would begin again.
This plan uses the following principles to establish the types of improvements:
1. Five parks have been designated Community Parks. These "destination parks" will
have larger playgrounds; larger, heated shelter buildings; lighted rinks and ballfields;
lighted ball fields; and other specialized facilities such as tennis courts, or football or
soccer fields. These parks are: Central /Garden City, Grandview, Evergreen, West
Palmer, and Kylawn.
2. Neighborhood parks will generally include playgrounds, basketball courts, ball
diamonds, and picnic shelters and picnic areas. Some parks with traditionally strong
hockey and pleasure skating programs will include lighted rinks and smaller warming
houses. Parks which would continue to have warming houses would be: Orchard Lane
and Northport. As specialized facilities in neighborhood parks are to be considered for
•
City of Brooklyn Center Capital improvement Program 1999 -2003 Page 21
major capital improvements, the neighborhood, the Park and Recreation Commission,
and the Council would review the appropriateness of the facility for the neighborhood
and the park before making that investment.
5 Year I v e is
mnro em n .
1. Complete the replacement of playground equipment.
2. Continue the systematic improvement of park facilities, with major improvements in the
next 5 ears to Central West Palmer K lawn and Grandview.
Y Y
3. Revise recreation programming as improvements are made.
4. Revisit the several parks which have had playground equipment replaced in the past
few years and add swingsets and containments. Because of new safety regulations,
some of the existing playground containments were too small to include both
playground equipment and swings.
Lone Term Improvements
Continue the systematic improvement of park facilities:

b. Government Buildings
The City owns and operates several major facilities: City Hall and the Community Center (together, the
Civic Center); the Central Garage; and two fire stations. In addition, the City owns two of the three
municipal liquor store buildings. The City also owns and operates the Earle Brown Heritage Center, a
convention center and Inn complex developed from several buildings formerly housing the historic
Earle Brown estate and horse farm.
The Central Garage was recently remodeled and expanded and underground storage tanks removed and
replaced with a new fuel system. Similar improvements to the City Hall and Community Center are
under consideration. Proposed funding for the improvements would come from the Capital
Improvement Fund. The major facilities improvements in 1998-99 will be the construction of a new
public safety facility at Humboldt and 67th Avenues, and the demolition of the west fire station/liquor
store and reconstruction of a new west fire station. The east fire station will be remodeled. A
referendum authorizing the sale of $7.9 million of General Obligation bonds to finance the public safety
and fire station work was approved in November, 1997.
Improvements to the Earle Brown Heritage Center are considered elsewhere and are not comprehended
in this study. Proposed major improvements to other facilities to be considered over the next several
years include:
City of Brooklyn Center Capital Improvement Program 1999-2003 Page 23
S Year Im provements
• 1. Construct a new, larger police station, alleviating severe space shortages and providing
upgraded facilities.
2. Remodel City Hall to provide for improved public access and customer service and
improved Council Chambers, to meet ADA accessibility requirements, to correct code
violations, and to upgrade the roof and mechanical systems.
3. Remodel the Community Center with the emphasis on improved accessibility and to
meet code requirements.
4. Construct a new west fire station and an addition to the east fire station to correct code
violations, increase training, storage, and sleeping quarters space, and increase vehicle
storage space.
5. Consider an additional cold storage building at the Central Garage to accomodate
additional storage needs.
6. Rehabilitate the north and south parking lots at the Civic Center.
Long -term Improvements
• 1. Monitor community facility needs. Between 2005 -2010, begin community discussions
regarding city hall and community center long -term needs.
C. Miscellaneous Equipment
The City operates a Central Garage Internal Service Fund, which owns all vehicles and major
equipment. The cost of owning (depreciation, license, insurance, overhead) and operating (fuel,
preventative maintenance and repair) vehicles and equipment is charged back to the departments using
the equipment. Replacement of existing equipment is financed from the Fund. The addition of
equipment is funded from a variety of sources: the General Fund, enterprise funds, etc. The City's
policy for the replacement of vehicles and equipment establishes a projected reasonable life cycle for
each item. Annually, the life cycles are reviewed and updated on the basis of experience or changed
circumstances. Also, new vehicles and equipment are proposed for addition to existing inventories and
replacement schedules when new needs are clearly demonstrated. Vehicles and equipment purchases
are generally considered during the annual budget process, and are no longer incorporated into the
CIP.
Routine equipment purchases, such as data processing equipment, are considered through the general
fund process and the MIS Strategic Plan, and are no longer incorporated into the CIP. However,
major equipment systems due to be considered for replacement which are beyond the scope of routine
are included here. For example, in 1998, the telephone systems which service the Civic Center,
Central Garage, Heritage Center, Fire Stations, and Liquor stores were replaced.
City of Brooklyn Center Capital Improvement Program 1999 -2003 Page 24
S Year Improvements
• 1. Replace the City's public safety and public works radio systems.

Capital Improvements Fund
Council Work Session
August 31, 1998
Division: Capital Improvements Fund
Bud Code: 630
PROFILE
The Capital Improvements Fund is monies available from General Fund surpluses, plus other sources as
designated by the City Council. It is used to finance government building and park improvements, and to
purchase land for public uses such as parks or other public facilities.
Park Improvements. A multi -year plan has been developed to systematically address large park capital
improvement needs. Improvements contemplated for 1999 include the replacement of the playground at
Wangsted Park; the replacement of a warming house shelter at Lions Park with a picnic shelter; the
construction of a permanent concession stand/storage building at Central Park; the replacement of park/trail
lights at Northport, Lions, and Willow Lane Parks; ballfield and drainage improvements at Central; and
construction of new swingset containments at Lions, Kylawn, West Palmer, and Grandview Parks. A small
amount has been set aside for as yet undefined improvements at the south end of Bellvue Park, adjacent to
the Bellvue Lane redevelopment area. Certain other minor improvements are included in the amount
allocated to each of the parks.
I
Building Improvements. In 1999, construction will continue on the new police and west fire stations.
Improvements to the Civic Center will be designed. If the preliminary design for those improvements
indicates that the Civic Center parking lots will not need to be reconfigured, then those parking lots will be
resurfaced in 1999.

The south end of Bellvue Park, which previously had been unimproved and inaccessible behind homes
on 53rd Avenue, is now opened up due to the 53rd Avenue DALP. It is proposed to provide a small
budget for improvements identified by the new property owners who will be adjacent to the park.
Some examples of improvements would be a decorative fence, shrubbery, decorative lighting, a park
sign, etc.

Proposal summary and--Qj�jeclives (Des in detail the proposa its intendg- 1, results. a purpose
This phase would accomplish the following:
1) Regrade the ballfields and plaza and add storm sewer to replace hard to maintain drainage
swales.
2) Construct a permanent shelter /concession stand between the two softball fields.
3) Rehabilitate the plaza ponds & boardwalk. One pond would be planted with wetland plants,
and the other would be bordered with Keystone.
Phase II of the improvements, in 2000, would replace lighting, rehab the tennis court, and provide for
a permanent amphitheater in the plaza area.
Proiect iustification (Describe p ros a nd cons n i Qert_ alternate choices. impact of not doine proiect.
etc.):
All these items are maintenance concerns. They also create unsightly conditions in the City's
" showplace " park - the P laza.
Long term settlement of the ball fields has restricted drainage and caused the fields to be unusable at
some times. If not corrected, settlement will continue and the fields will eventually become unusable.
The ball fields at Central, East, and West Palmer Lake Parks are all built on unstable, peaty soil which
settles unpredictably.
Settlement problems at West and East Palmer Lake Parks have been completed in the last few years,
and the fields should remain usable for at least several years. However, settlement will again occur,
and those fields will need to be regraded again when settlement affects the usability of the fields.
The additional storm sewer work which would be completed along with the Central Park work will
help keep those fields in play longer, and will also make Central Park more usable. The area south of
the Plaza pond, for example, where the showmobile is usually parked, takes an unusually long time to
drain and dry after rain.
lmr)act on operatin budget
Many tournaments are held at the Central Park fields, the largest of which is the Dudley Classic.
Improved drainage will make these ballfields easier to maintain, and easier to play on in wet
conditions.
Other co mments :
The plaza pond and boardwalk is an increasingly popular place for wedding photography, which shows
the pride Brooklyn Center residents have for this facility. The proposed improvements will rehabilitate
this showplace.

Value of Lions Club donation - $10-$12,000, depending on final design
Proposal summary and obiectives (Describe in, detail the proposal. its intended results. and purnose):
The Brooklyn Center Lions Club proposes to donate to the City funds to purchase a picnic-style shelter
to replace the existing park shelter, which is in disrepair. The City would pay for demolishing the
existing building, installing the necessary concrete pad and installing the shelter. Other improvements
at the park would be upgraded trail lighting, swings and an enclosure, and a new drinking fountain.
•
Project justification (Describe pros and g%5 of project, alternate choices. impact of not doing T)roiect.
etc.):
This is part of the continuing effort to upgrade facilities in the parks. This would also add swings to
the playground in a separate enclosure. Because of the new safety fall zones, the existing playground
containment was not large enough to accommodate a new playground and swings.
Impact on operating budget:
The existing trail lights require excessive maintenance and electrical repairs.

Pronosal summary and obiectives (Desc in detail the proposal. its intended results. and pu o e ):
It is proposed to mill and overlay the north and south parking lots at the Civic Center, which are in
poor condition. Storm sewer would be added or relocated as necessary. The bollards would be
removed, and concrete medians added. The south parking lot would be reoriented so parking is
parallel to City Hall. Parking lot lighting wiring should be replaced.
Proiect justification (Describe pros an cons of p roject. alternate choices. impact of not doinLy vroiect.
etc.
The parking lot pavement is in poor condition. Removal of the bollards would provide better
snowplowing and improved drainage. This project would proceed in 1999 only if designs for Civic
Center improvements indicate that the parking lots do not need major reconfiguration.
Impact on oneratinLy budLyet:
At this time, both parking lots would require extensive patching and crack sealing. Weeds and grass
grow through many of the cracks, and must be weed whipped for appearance.

Budget Code: 631
• PROFILE
The Municipal State Aid Fund is comprised of three accounts: Regular State Aid, Local State Aid, and State
Aid Bonds. The State Aid Bonds account is used to finance State Aid street improvements which are funded
all or in part by proceeds of a State Aid bond issue. There is currently no balance.
The Regular State Aid account is monies allocated to the City from the State from gas tax proceeds. These
r ved improvement project on a State
for the C' and released upon letting of an a o
funds are held m trust o City p g pp p p J
Aid street. The Local State Aid account is City- controlled monies which are available for the construction
of sidewalks and trails, and for certain street improvements.
Sidewalks and Trails
Park Trail Improvements. This project would have three components. First, a new trail would be
constructed in Bellvue Park, from Bellvue Lane to the trail in the central part of the park. This would link
the redevelopment area to the ballfield, playground, and picnic shelter in the central and northern parts of
the park. Second, the trail in Central Park would be relocated as necessary to accommodate the building and
drainage improvements proposed in Division 630. Finally, the bituminous paving in Lions Park in the area
of the Little League building would be rehabbed.
53rd Avenue- Trail. This item would construct the trail and greenway portion of the 53rd Avenue
• Development and Linkage Project. The existing sidewalk along 53rd would be removed, and a new
bituminous trail constructed, along with additional landscaping and signing.
Sidewalk Repairs. Sidewalk repairs and replacements are periodically combined into a single improvement
project. This project would repair all sidewalks as necessary south of I -694. North of 1 -694 was completed
in 1998.
Repair Retaining Walls. The City owns numerous sidewalk retaining walls, many on 57th Avenue, 63rd
r re
Avenue, and Dupont Avenue. These are deteriorating and require repair or replacement. This routine
project continues the cycle begun in 1998.
Paint 69th Avenue Fence. This fence is beginning to show wear, and the paint is beginning to flake.
Painting the .fence will increase its useful life.
Streets
Signal Painting and Restoration. By cooperative agreements with Hennepin County and Mn/DOT, the City
is responsible for certain types of maintenance on signal systems on County and State roads, as well as on
City -owned signal systems. A number of the signal poles are rusted or peeling, and require repainting. This
project would paint the signal poles in 13 locations.
Earle Brown Drive Mill and Overlay. This pavement has reached the end of its useful life, and now
requires significant maintenance. This project would extend from John Martin Drive to the new Heritage
• Center parking lot. The segment between John Martin Drive and Summit Drive is State Aid, the segment
north of Summit is not.
Dupont Avenue, 55th to 57th. As a part of the proposed Southeast Neighborhood Street and Utility
Improvements (see Division 632); this segment of Dupont would be reconstructed, with installation of curb
and gutter and utility improvements as necessary.
DEPARTMENTAL GOALS
• Continue to construct bicycle /pedestrian trails and linkages in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan,
either concurrent with street projects, or as stand -alone projects.
• Maintain and rehabilitate sidewalks as necessary to keep them safe and functional.
► Systematically maintain and rehabilitate as necessary the system of State Aid Streets in accordance with
state requirements.

Proposal summary and objectives (Describe in. detail . the proposal. its intended results. and purpose):
According to agreements between the City, Hennepin County, and Mn/DOT, the City is responsible
for repainting most of the traffic signal uprights. Many of these have not been repainted in many
years, and are showing wear and rust. This item would clean and paint signal poles at 13 locations.
These are the same locations where we are installing energy - efficient LED bulbs and heads in 1998.
Project justification (Descri a ros and co of project. alte rnate choices. impact of not doing proiect..
etc :
One of the functions of paint on signal poles is to rust proof the metal. The longer a metal pole is left
unprotected, the more rust will develop, making future maintenance more difficult and ultimately
compromising structural integrity and rust. Flaking paint and rust on signal poles also detracts from
the appearance of these devices in high - traffic commercial areas.

A mill and overlay would reduce maintenance and prolong the life of the full pavement section. On
the sidewalk nodes, pavers abutting the curb and curb cut have settled, reducing accessibility and
creating trip hazards. Some of the pavers on the sidewalk nodes would be replaced with poured
concrete, and the curb cuts redone.

the southeast neighborhood. The major focus of the project would be on completing storm drainage
improvements, and repairing or replacing as necessary water and sanitary sewer improvements. Root
sawing records, which will be confirmed by sanitary sewer televising, reveals a number of sections of
sanitary sewer which have been infiltrated by roots, and which require replacement.

part of the City's Neighborhood Street and Utility Reconstruction Program. Essentially, the streets
would be reconstructed to a standard 30 foot width, with concrete curb and gutter and driveway aprons
added. Utilities would be repaired, replaced, or added as necessary. Trees which are removed would
be replaced by a follow-up reforestation project, and the street lights would be replaced.

This project would complete improvements to the area from 1-94 to Logan Avenue, from 53rd to 57th,
with the exception of Humboldt Avenue, and 57th from Humboldt to TH 100, which are county roads.
This greater neighborhood improvement will have substantially upgraded storm drainage by
constructing new trunk storm sewers on 55th and 57th, will have replaced a substantial amount of the
older sanitary sewer main which had been root infiltrated, and repaired or replaced as necessary water
main. The new pavement and concrete curb and gutter and aprons will substantially upgrade the
appearance of the neighborhood, and contributed to overall neighborhood property value stabilization.

repairs. The tower was last coated and repaired in 1988. Its coatings are generally in fair condition but
require repair, especially the exterior coating.
Routine Well Maintenance. On a six year rotation, the pump and motor of every well is removed,
inspected, and repaired as necessary. If there is excessive sand buildup in the well cavity, during the period
the pump and shaft are removed the well cavity is bailed.
Wellhouse Rehabilitation. The Public Utilities Supervisor has developed a schedule for systematic
improvement of the 9 well houses. Proposed for construction in 1999 is exterior and interior wellhouse
rehabilitation at well #s 5 and 6. These facilities are located in residential neighborhoods, and are intended
to have the appearance of residential houses. The exteriors and roofs of both wellhouses are in fair to poor
• condition, and require substantial maintenance. It is proposed to reconstruct the roofs and clad the buildings
in brick veneer, as well as replace furnaces and A/C units as necessary. The garage doors at #6 also need
replacement.
DEPARTMENTAL GOALS
• Perform, in a cost - effective manner, water system improvements as a part of neighborhood street
reconstruction of other improvement projects.
• Complete the projects included in the 1998 budget, on time and within budget.
• Repair, rehabilitate, or reconstruct water facilities as necessary to provide for efficient and effective
operations.

Proposal summary and ok1tctjvP,5 (T )escribe in detail the proposal its intended results. and pmrp9se):
Elevated storage tank number 1, located at France and 69th Avenues, has a 500,000 gallon capacity,
and was built in 1958. Elevated storage tanks require periodic inspections and typically require
miscellaneous re-coatings and repairs throughout their service life.
The tower last received maintenance work in 1988, and was reinspected in 1995. The inspection
revealed the need to recoat the interior and spot repair the exterior coating; some miscellaneous
structural repairs, and replacing the finish coat. It was also recommended in 1995 that these repairs be
completed within the next 3-5 years.
Proiect iustification (Describe pr(),5 and cons of pL9jQgL alternate choices. impact of not doing Dr!Qject.
etc.):
The City's three elevated storage reservoirs are critical to the operation of the City's water supply and
distribution system. If not properly maintained and allowed to continue to provide adequate service,
waste supply, pressures, and public health and safety would be severely compromised. In addition,
elevated storage reservoirs are a very large infrastructure investment, and must be maintained properly
to avoid even larger capital expenditures in future years.

Proposal summary and obiectives (Describe in detail . the nroposal. its intended results. and numose):
These two wellhouses are located in highly visible, residential areas. The exteriors are shabby and
badly in need of rehab, and the roofs are in poor condition. Wellhouse #5 is located on the corner of
Camden and 70th Avenues. Wellhouse #6 is located on 69th Avenue between a single family home
and a townhouse development.
. It is proposed to rehabilitate the exteriors of both of these highly visible wells. Both would require new
roof structures. Each would be re -sided with exteriors which are in keeping with the character of its
neighbors. At #6, the garage doors need replacement, as does the air conditioning and the furnace on
the chlorine supply side.
Project justification (Describe pros and cons of project. a lternate choices- impact of not doing proiect.
etc.
Welhhouses located in residential districts should be good neighbors, and should be as unobtrusive as
possible. If these structures were private homes, each likely would have been cited for code violations
regarding disrepair of siding, door frames, etc. Without significant work, as time goes by these
structures will further deteriorate and require increasing levels of time and costly maintenance.
Impact on operating budget:
New roofs would be more energy efficient, resulting in slightly lower utility costs. Fewer service calls,
time spent painting, patching, etc.

Sewer system improvements made as part of the neighborhood street reconstruction or other improvement
projects. Proposed sanitary sewer utility capital projects for 1999 are:
Street and Utility Improvements. Substantial sanitary sewer main improvements are generally completed
in association with street improvement projects. In the Southeast Neighborhood street improvement project,
main would be replaced as necessary. This project is described in Division 632, special assessment
construction fund.
Replace Lift Stations #10 and 11, and Reline Forcemain at #10. Included in 1999 is the replacement of
lift stations #10 and #11, and the relining of 220 feet of forcemain adjacent to lift station #10. These old lift
stations have reached the end of their useful life, and require replacement. The forcemain at #10 is in fair
condition. The lift station replacement project is the most cost - effective time to reline the pipe.
Stabilize Mississippi River Interceptor. For a short part of its run north of I -694, the Mississippi River
Interceptor lies very close to the river bank. - During the high water of 1997, one particular manhole structure
had to be temporarily stabilized with rip rap to prevent further erosion. This project would permanently
armor the river bank to prevent further erosion.

Road is in fair to poor condition, and should be relined now to avoid the potential of a costly open
trench excavation of Bass Lake Road in the future.
The forcemain which runs from Lift #11 (Shingle Creek Parkway at about 59th) south along Shingle
Creek Parkway, under CR 10, across Shingle Creek in the weir structure in the Brookdale parking lot,
then to the Brookdale interceptor, is in fair to good shape. It is not proposed to be relined at this time.
It should, however, be addressed in about 5 years.

The Mississippi River Interceptor at this point carries the sewage from entire northeast quadrant of the
City down to Lift Station #1. Its structural integrity is essential. Emergency measures had to be taken
during the high water of 1997. Any further erosion would expose a manhole structure to the force of
the Mississippi River, which must be avoided.

PROFILE
Storm sewer system improvements made as part of the neighborhood street reconstruction or other
improvement projects. Proposed storm drainage utility capital projects for 1997 are:
Street and Utility Improvements. Substantial storm sewer main improvements are generally completed in
association with street improvement projects. In the Southeast Neighborhood, new storm sewer laterals will
be installed to provide positive drainage to the new storm sewer trunks recently completed on 55th and 57th
Avenues. Additional storm sewer would be replaced as necessary. This project is described in Division 632,
special assessment construction fund.
Miscellaneous structure improvements. Two miscellaneous projects would be constructed: continued
repair of various Mississippi River outfalls, and continued joint sealing on the 65th Avenue trunk storm
sewer.
Palmer Lake Drainage Design. The primary reason for continued trail flooding problems in the Palmer
Lake basin is sedimentation and excessive vegetation in the basin area, with long -term settlement of trail
portions contributing to the problem. Some concepts for channelization and dredging have been identified.
It is proposed to develop more detailed designs and cost estimates for what will be a series of future
improvement projects aimed at restoring storage and moving storm water from the edges of the basin to the
center.

Proposal summary and obiectives (Describe in, detail the proposal. its intended results. and purpose):
In the second phase of the Local Water Management Plan it was determined that the primary reason for
the continued trail flooding problems in the Palmer Lake area was sedimentation and excessive
vegetation in the basin area, with settlement of portions of the trails contributing to the problem. There
has been a reduction in the storage area of the basin, so the storm water in the basin is overflowing,
flooding the trails and the parks. Very conceptual ideas have been identified which may help alleviate
this problem. It is proposed to study these issues more in depth to determine which would be most
effective, and to estimate the cost of potential improvements.
Project Justification (Describe pr()s an cons of project. al ternate choices, impact of not doing nro iect•
tc. :
The trial and park flooding will continue to worsen as the basin continues to fill in with silt. A large
portion of northern Brooklyn Center drains to Palmer Lake. Trail users often cannot use the trail where
it has been flooded. This is a very heavily -used trail system, and is part of the North Hennepin
Regional Trail Loop.
Impact on operating budeet:
There would also be a,reduction in maintenance time and effort to create temporary solutions to trail
flooding, and to repair trails damaged by flooding.
