DISCUSSION OF MODIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT PROCESS FOR ADVISORY COMMISSIONS The City Manager noted there is a concern with the appointment process because it is difficult at times to have a unanimous council present. Staff recommended the posting, notice, and receipt of applications be left as they are. Staff further recommended the process be the mayor supply the name of an appointee and supporting documentation in the Council packets and a majority vote of Council be accepted. Notification in the Council packets eliminates surprises and provides a period of four days for consideration of the nomination. h he suggestion and noted delays in appointments cause Mayor Kra ness agreed with g t s Y g g gb Y PP difficulties. Councilmember Mann agreed with streamlining the appointment process. There was a discussion of the proposed wording of No. 7 of the written procedure. The City Attorney suggested language stating, "...majority vote of the entire Council,...." Councilmember Carmody stated the new language should be left as written, "...by majority vote " There was a motion by Councilmember Carmody and seconded by Councilmember Mann to modify the appointment process for advisory commission members as discussed. The motion passed unanimously. DISCUSSION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS Councilmember Carmody requested descriptions of skid -steer loaders and cold planers. The City Manager explained a skid -steer loader is a small vehicle (Bobcat type) with a bucket used on construction sites to scoop dirt. A cold planer is a grinding device which fits on the front arms of the skid -steer loader. RESOLUTION NO. 95 -77 Member Kathleen Carmody introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION APPROVING SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZING ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR THE PURCHASE OF ONE (1) SKID -STEER LOADER, ASPHALT COLD PLANER, AND TRAILER The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Kristen Mann, and the motion passed unanimously. MAYORAL APPOINTMENTS Mayor Kragness recommended Jay Hruska for appointment to the Financial Commission. 3/13/95 CORRECTION Councilmember Carmody noted the commission would be comprised entirely of male members if Mr. Hruska were appointed. In addition, such an appointment would mean there would be four members from the Southwest neighborhood and the same school district. She asked for Wanda Rawson to be appointed instead. Mayor Kragness said she had discussed the matter with the Chair of the Financial Commission and it was agreed it was important, due to possible upcoming budget cuts, to appoint an individual with a financial background. Councilmember Carmody noted the Financial Commission is a citizen advisory commission. She repeated the current members are of the same demographic group and all male. Mayor Kragness stated she understood the concern but said it is necessary to use professional people to deal with the expected problem. She commented the make -up of the commission changes often and the City may be in a better position in two years to appoint without as much financial round. back i people g Councilmember Carmody noted she is not personally opposed to Mr. Hruska, but is just concerned about the make -up of the members of the commission. Councilmember Mann stated she would also prefer to see a woman appointed to the commission but believes the reasoning presented by the Mayor is more sound at this time. There was a motion by Councilmember Mann and seconded by Councilmember Hilstrom to approve the appointment of Jay Hruska to the Financial Commission. Roll call vote. Mayor Kragness, aye; Councilmember Hilstrom, aye; Councilmember Mann, aye; Councilmember Carmody, nay. The motion carried. Mayor Kragness requested Phillip Roche be appointed to the Financial Commission. Y g q P PP There was a motion by Councilmember Mann and seconded by Councilmember Hilstrom to approve the appointment of Phillip Roche to the Financial Commission. The motion passed unanimously. Mayor Kragness requested Dean Nyquist be appointed to the Human Rights and Resources Commission. Councilmember Mann commented she had previously been concerned about a conflict of interest in the appointment of Mr. Nyquist; however, in response to the Staff report, is now satisfied with the appointment. There was a motion by Councilmember Mann and seconded by Councilmember Carmody to approve the appointment of Dean Nyquist to the Human Rights and Resources Commission. Roll call vote: Mayor Kragness, aye; Councilmember Hilstrom, nay; Councilmember Mann, aye; Councilmember Carmody, aye. The motion carried. 3/13/95 - 12- MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA SPECIAL WORK SESSION MARCH 20, 1995 CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center City Council met in special work session and was called to order by Mayor Myrna Kragness at 7 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor Myrna Kragness, Councilmembers Kristen Mann, Debra Hilstrom, and Kathleen Carmody. Also present were City Manager Gerald Splinter, Assistant City Manager Nancy Gohman, Director of Public Services Diane Spector, Community Development Specialist Tom Bublitz, Director of Community Development Brad Hoffman, and Council Secretary Barbara Collman. Councilmember Barb Kalligher was excused from tonight's meeting. • EXECUTIVE SESSION The Brooklyn Center City Council met in Executive Session until 7:48 p.m. UPDATE ON 6637 HUMBOLDT AVENUE NORTH The Director of Community Development explained the property at 6637 Humboldt Avenue North was acquired by the Economic Development Authority (EDA) through foreclosure approximately two years ago. The intention of the City was to hold the property for future redevelopment but it has been a very low priority. The tenants were allowed to stay and the City has maintained the units. The City is currently considering raising the rents to $510 per month, which is in line with other comparable units. The Director of Community Development addressed several issues brought by the tenants at the last City Council meeting. He noted the City contracts for snow removal in the parking lot. The snow may not have been removed first thing in the morning, but it was removed at some point on the day in question. The laundry appliances were recently removed from the property. The appliances were leased and were leaking. There is no lease in effect and even the prior lease did not require laundry facilities be provided on the property. A lease is not recommended because matters would be complicated should the City decide to go ahead with redevelopment. Also, new tenants are not being sought. There have been two recent inquiries relating to redevelopment. The property is • 3/20/95 - 1 - maintained once per week by an Earle Brown Heritage Center employee. The City is just breaking even on the property and does not desire to expend funds. He added a junk car • on the property needs to be removed. The City Manager noted the units had new paint and new carpeting just before the City took ownership. The tenants are welcome to stay but should not expect upgrading. He added a group called INVITE has asked permission to use an apartment for an office and meeting space. INVITE was hired by the City to run a youth diversion program for troubled youth. The group provides equipment and offers tutoring and computer training for youth and their parents. Councilmember Hilstrom asked whether INVITE's use of the apartment might lead to a parking problem. The Director of Community Development said he will make sure there is no disturbance ban to the tenants. The Director of Community Development said he will provide a written report on the issues to the tenants. UPDATE ON PROPERTY The Director of Community Development commented regarding a property near Schmitt Music. There has been a tentative agreement between the developer and the land owner, so a condemnation will not be necessary. More information will be available in the near future. • CONSIDERATION OF ACQUISITION OF SINGLE FAMILY HOME LOCATED AT 7216 BROOKLYN BOULEVARD The Community Development Specialist stated the appraisal obtained by the City was $67,000 and the appraisal obtained by the property owner was $77,000. He noted the proposed street improvements in the Woodbine neighborhood could provide a cul -de -sac, on Wingard Lane, if the property was acquired. The Brooklyn Boulevard Study calls for a gateway at the entrance points to the City on Brooklyn Boulevard. It is currently a dead- end street. He also noted a neighboring property will probably become available later this year. He suggested the City might want to hold on purchasing the property since it is not a priority in terms of redevelopment. Councilmember Hilstrom asked what fund might provide money for purchasing the property. The Community Development Director said there might possibly be EDA reserve funds available although those funds are limited. Councilmember Carmody asked whether the property could still be purchased at a later date. She also asked what the total purchase cost would be. The City Manager said it is possible it would still be available later. In addition to the purchase price, there would be costs to either tear the structure down or move it. Approximately $5,000 might be recovered if it were moved. 3/20/95 -2- • Mayor Kragness expressed concern about expending the funds. She noted the City will need the property eventually but if it becomes a rental property now it will still be for sale at a later date. There was a consensus of opinion to drop consideration of the purchase. DISCUSSION OF UPCOMING PUBLIC HEARINGS RELATED TO WOODBINE NEIGHBORHOOD The Director of Public Services explained Staff has held two informational meetings with approximately one -third of the neighborhood residents. She provided a handout summarizing questions and concerns of residents and noted these are issues the Council should expect to be raised at the upcoming public hearing. Since some residents have questioned the need for the project, she reviewed the City's position on the project with the Council. Streets are over 30 years old and there should be a comprehensive plan to replace them rather than bandaid solutions to current problems. It is also necessary to improve the quality of the storm water which is discharged into Palmer Lake. This particular neighborhood is scheduled for work this year due to the combination of needs in the area, not because it is the worst area in specific needs. She also noted residents of the Woodbine neighborhood are aware the residents of the Northwest neighborhood, which saw street improvements last year, did not have to pay special assessments for storm drainage improvements. In this case, the special assessments for storm drainage are 35 percent of the cost. She noted a couple of residents are vocally opposed to the project because they feel the City should address other needs of the City. Councilmember Hilstrom said she has received several phone calls from residents who support the project. However, they are concerned it will cost more than other projects and the full amount must be paid immediately. They do not qualify for the stabilization program. Y PY ro am. The would like to be able to a one -half the cost at this time. Councilmember Carmody noted she had also heard favorable comments regarding the project. The irector of Public Services explained that b State law roe owners have 30 days e property rtY xP Y to pay the assessment in full without interest. The City Attorney has stated that he believes 30 days could be considered the minimum, and the City Council has authority to determine the date when interest begins to accrue, so it would be possible to allow residents extra time to pay it off without interest. The City Manager agreed to check on whether residents could pay one -half of the cost and then pay off the remainder. Councilmember Hilstrom asked whether trees will be lost during the course of the project. The Director of Public Services said there is a misunderstanding regarding this subject. As ® 3/20/95 -3 - many existing trees as possible will be retained and there is $50,000 budgeted for landscaping, so lost trees would be replaced. i Councilmember Carmody asked whether aprons will be provided. The Director of Public Services stated the aprons will be replaced with concrete and disturbed driveways in kind, either concrete or asphalt. Councilmember Carmody asked why two residents on Grimes Avenue North were notified of the project later than the others. The Director of Public Services explained it wasn't until the project reached a certain point of detail planning that it was determined Grimes Avenue North should be included. Those residents received their notice one month ago. Mayor Kragness asked whether the residents who are vocally against the project seemed to be opposed due to the financial issue or because they do not believe the project is needed. The Director of Public Services said the reasons are varied. There are three residents who are vocally opposed. Others are concerned about only having 30 days to pay the amount without interest charges. The City Manager commented efforts are underway to change the terms so the financial concern will be eliminated. It may be possible to extend the period of time before interest is charged. It also may be possible to lower the interest rate. Councilmember Hilstrom suggested the residents not be charged interest until the point when the City- is charged interest. The City Manager noted the City does not begin paying interest until the bonds are issued, which will probably be September or October, so it is reasonable to wait until then to begin charging interest to the residents. He added the assessments are for a period of 10 years and interest is charged on the unpaid balance. He will work with the City Attorney to arrange partial payments and certify only the unpaid balance. The Director of Public Services explained neighborhood improvements are also planned, such as signs, the straightening of one road, chokers and other design details. Residents are interested in these aesthetic improvements. Stop signs are also being considered. Mayor Kragness noted the residents may be more supportive if they are allowed input on the aesthetic improvements. Councilmember Hilstrom asked for an update regarding the pond, its cost, and the arrangement with Brooklyn Park. The City Manager said Brooklyn Center will have to pay for the privilege of building the pond on Brooklyn Park land. The deal could be for Brooklyn Center to do the construction and provide curb and gutter adjacent to Brooklyn Park property as payment. There was further discussion regarding the pond. The Director of Public Services recommended mailing out additional information to 3/20/95 - 4 - • Woodbine neighborhood residents before the public hearing, especially to reach those who have not attended the informational meetings. She suggested a version of the question and answer summary be mailed. Mayor Kragness said more information would be helpful for those who are not committed either way. The City Manager said the mailing could include new information concerning the assessment and payment arrangements. Mayor Kragness suggested marking the outside of the mailing with the words, "Important Information' to draw attention. The Director of Public Services noted there have been discussions with the church regarding its assessment and she believes an agreement will be reached. Councilmember Mann asked whether, assuming the project is approved, there will be update newsletters issued to residents during the course of the work. The City Manager confirmed there will be newsletters, as they were very popular last year. The Director of Public Services noted the construction of this project will be faster and not as intrusive as last year's project. Mayor Kragness asked whether City inspectors monitor the work on the project. The City Manager said inspectors check work daily during construction. DISCUSSION OF LEADERSHIP AND GOAL SETTING WORKSHOP PROPOSAL BY DON SALVERDA & ASSOCIATES • The City Manager re- stated his belief that an outside facilitator is important. He recommended Don Salverda & Associates be hired for a workshop involving the Council and department heads. Councilmember Hilstrom stated she would prefer there be a workshop for only the Council prior to one with the department heads. Councilmember Carmody concurred. The City Manager agreed and suggested April 19, 1995. Councilmember Mann agreed with the Council having its own workshop first, and stated the workshops presented by Don Salverda are very good. The City Manager said he will proceed with scheduling a workshop, probably for dinner at the Earle Brown Heritage Center. OTHER BUSINESS ICE RINKS The City Manager suggested the Council begin to think about the need for additional ice rinks. Rinks were low on the priority list, but new state legislation has moved the issue to the forefront. Equal ice time for male and female students is required. 3/20/95 -5 - The City Manager is in the process of determining whether the City has an obligation to provide rinks in light of the law. He will keep updated on legislation and will notify the Council if rinks need to be moved up on the priority list. There could be rapid movement on the issue. Mayor Kragness asked whether state or federal funds would be available for ice rinks. The City Manager stated it costs from $2 million to $3 million to build an ice rink. There would not be federal funding. There may be minimal state funding of 5 to 10 percent. He said the best approach might be to consider a cooperative effort with the school districts and others. He noted a capitol expenditure is probably preferable to payment of the operations costs. WORKSHOPS f r- Councilmember Hilstrom stated she would like to attend a four-day da League of Minnesota Y Lea Cities workshop in Duluth this summer. She asked for an opinion and how much the City would pay toward the workshop. The City Manager said there is a City policy regarding payment on these costs, and he would provide information. He encouraged several councilmembers to attend the workshop. Mayor Kragness noted she would like to go to the national mayors' conference. The City Manager said it is a good idea for councilmembers to attend national conferences on an alternating basis and share information gained. Mayor Kragness commented a councilmember who is a liaison to an association should go • to a conference and all others should go if it is convenient. The City Manager said councilmembers should at least rotate attendance. In the alternative, if a councilmember has a particular interest in a workshop, she should go. The councilmembers can work out the arrangements between themselves. The Council concurred with the atte ndance of Councilmember Hilstrom and Mayor Kragness. TRAINING OF CITY STAFF Councilmember Hilstrom stated City employees need to be customer- oriented. She asked the goals and status of a training program in this regard. The Assistant City Manager said there is funding for training in the budget and sessions will be scheduled later this year. The City Manager said the main concern with customer service has been in the community center. There have been physical impediments due to the office arrangement, but the issue is being addressed. There is also a need for such training in the Police Department. NEWSPAPER ARTICLE Councilmember Carmody referred to a news article concerning crime. She did not like the writer's argument or the writing itself. The City Manager noted Police Departments get calls for crimes committed but are not able to be deterrents. There was further discussion on the issue. 3/20/95 - 6 - BROOKDALE TRANSIT STOP • Council discussed briefly the current and future concerns and issues relating to the Brookdale Transit stop and Transit HUB project. COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS Councilmember Hilstrom stated she did not receive the packet for the Planning Commission meeting in time to attend the meeting after noting an agenda item she was interested in. The City Manager said there needs to be an evaluation of the delivery process and adjustments made.

Summary Explanation: (supporting documentation attached No ) • The Brooklyn Center Drug Awareness Commission was established in 1990 and consisted of nine a members, of which four were not required to be Brooklyn Center residents. The Commission generally met monthly at 7:30 a.m. with previous employee Captain Paul Monteen as the staff liaison. The Commission has not met for over two years, and in the last months when the Commission did meet, there was not a quorum. Other mechanisms have since taken over the duties and responsibilities of the Commission, those being the D.A.R.E. Program and Crime Prevention activities. These programs are operated through the Police Department and are very effective in accomplishing the purpose of the Commission which is to promote public understanding of drug and chemical abuse issues in the schools, homes, and work places in Brooklyn Center. Since the purpose of the Commission has been merged into other more effective mechanisms, it is requested the Brooklyn Center Drug Awareness Commission be dissolved. • �d Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO.

This work includes removal of most of the front counters in the various departments, plus removal of some interior walls and construction of some new walls. The function of the counters will be replaced with ADA accessible worksurfaces integrated with the new workstations. The new configurations will also improve customer service. The following is a brief summary of the remodelling: • Engineering. Remove front counter. Remove wall separating computer room. • Community Development. Will be remodelled to serve as the new Machine Room. Remove front counter. Remove wall separating private office. • Administration. Remove front counter. Construct new private office for Assistant City Manager next to Manager's office. • Lobby. Construct new conference room currently divided off by panels. • Machine Room. Remodelled to serve as Community Development. Remove built -in cupboards and counters. • Finance. Remove front counter. Remove wall separating Assistant Finance Director's office, to relocate Utility Billing. • • Assessing. Remove front counter. • Recreation. Remove part of front counter. Construct new storage closets in front entry. • Police. Remove some built -in work surfaces. • Hallway. Enlarge Conference Room B by expanding into the hallway. Also included is minor electrical, HVAC, painting, and carpet work. Request For Council Consideration Page 2 The remodelling work has been combined into appropriate packages, to allow for decisions to be made • regarding the cost- effectiveness of various remodelling options, and proposals were requested. Proposals are due by 4:30 Friday, April 7. We had hoped that the proposers would have been able to submit their proposals in time to include with this item, but we do not have this information at this time. We do expect that the proposals will total less than the $50,000 budgeted for remodelling. We hope to have this information and a resolution regarding the proposals to the Council on Friday or Saturday, and apologize for the delay. We couldn't send the remodelling proposals out until we had confirmed furniture shipping and installation dates, and had to provide the proposers with adequate time to review the request and prepare proposals. All work needs to be complete by the end of this month so that workstations can begin to be installed the first week of May. The minor electrical and HVAC work will be completed by the firms which regularly service our facility. Painting and carpet work will be completed by firms on the state or Hennepin County cooperative purchasing contract, or by competitive quotes. • • �r Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO.

Resolution No. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota that: 1. The proposals of C. F. Haglin & Sons for Packages 1, 2, 3, and 4 are hereby accepted. The Mayor and City Manager are hereby authorized and directed to enter into a contract with C. F. Haglin & Sons of Edina, Minnesota in the name of the City of Brooklyn Center, for Improvement Project No. 1994 -32. 2.

Date Mayor ATTEST: Deputy Clerk The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: and the following voted against the same: whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted. • City of Brooklyn Center - A great place to start. A great place to stay. • MEMORANDUM April 8, 1995 TO: Mayor and Council Members FROM: Diane Spector, Director of Public Services SUBJ: Interim City Hall Remodelling Proposals We have received two proposals for the minor remodelling associated with Improvement Project No. 1994 -31, Interim City Hall Remodelling. The Council may recall that $50,000 of this $440,000 project was budgeted to provide for minor remodelling associated with the installation of the new modular workstations. In e g neral, aside from the er benefit of the new workstations, the workstations and the remodelling together are intended to make more efficient use of our existing space, add additional meeting space, and most importantly improve customer service. For example, in Finance the demolition of a wall into a private office will allow us to locate both utility billing • technicians at the entrance to Finance, and to integrate the reception area with their workstations. As a result, when customers enter the office, they.should be able to receive immediate service, and the technicians won't be going back and forth all day from their desks to the front counter. The impression given will be "we're prepared to provide you service ", rather than "you're interrupting my real work". The RFP broke the remodelling down into four packages, to provide us with the most flexibility in deciding if proposed work was cost - effective. The following are the proposals received for each package: PACKAGE l: Conference Room B (remove existing wall and enlarge the conference room by expanding into the hallway. The new entrance to Conference B would be near the entrance to Engineering) C. F. Haglin & Sons $5,240 Nelson Brothers 8,250 PACKAGE 2: Administration area (minor work in current Community Development office to convert it into the new machine room; construct new office for Assistant City Manager next to City Manager; construct new conference room in lobby) 6301 Shingle Creek Pkwy, Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 -2199 • City Hall & TDD Number (612) 569 -3300 Recreation and Community Center Phone & TDD Number (612) 569 -3400 • FAX (612) 569 -3494 An Affirmative Action /Equal Opportunities Employer C. F. Haglin & Sons $7,290 Nelson Brothers 9,630 . PACKAGE 3: Finance area (minor work in existing machine room to convert to new Community Development office; remove one private office in Finance to expand utility billing reception area) C. F. Haglin & Sons $5,990 Nelson Brothers 9,780 PACKAGE 4: Counter removal & Community Center storage (remove all reception counters in upper City Hall; partial removal in Police Department and at Community Center; construct new storage closets in Community Center entryway) C. F. Haglin & Sons $5,750 Nelson Brothers 8.400 Because one proposal arrived very late on Friday, I haven't had the opportunity to review it with the Building Official, who spec -ed the work. However, the low bidder on each of the packages, C. F. Haglin & Sons, is a respected contractor which does considerable remodelling work at Brookdale Shopping Center, and the prices appear reasonable. I would anticipate that Clay Larson will second • my recommendation that the Council award contracts on all four proposals to C. F. Haglin & Sons. The four packages would total $24,270. When the other minor work: electrical, HVAC, painting, and carpet patching is added, we will be considerably below the budgeted amount of $50,000. • Finance Machine Room, to become 107 135 Community Development 109 102 108 ±T 103 Assessin_ _� 101 110 To be Conf D 11,37 ELEV.

Casserly Mary E. Molzahn RE: Tax Increment Legislation in the 1995 Legislature DATE: March 23, 1995 After two months of Legislative activity on tax increment: including numerous hearings in the House and Senate Tax Subcommittees and personal conversations with the various authors, opponents and proponents of the different tax increment bills, we have the :Following observations: 1. Legislators' attitudes about: tax increment are • typically defined by the area of the state they represent. Generally these interests are divided along geographic lines and can be identified as Greater Minnesota or Outstate, Outer Suburban (of the Seven County Metro Area) and Inner City (Central cities and inner suburbs of the Metropolitan Area and the older, larger Outstate cities). 2. Greater Minnesota does not want to make tax increment any more complicated than it has already become. There is some resistance to quantifying the "but for" test and even greater res istance to the additional reporting requirements. Some sections of Greater Minnesota oppose the new limited definition for a soils condition district because it would impede their ability to provide additional housing. 3. The Cuter Suburban cities have the most to lose by the Ozment (House File 147) bill.. Generally, it is the Outer Suburban cities that have been able to accumulate substantial tax increment funds which many of them would like to use for capital improvement programs or community centers aid related activities. The most recent version of Rep. Ozment' bill grandfathers in • all of these uses, 4. The older cities have the greatest problems with Rep. f �, Ozment's bill because it further restricts their redevelopment activities by further limiting the use of pooling. The older cities are at a competitive disadvantage because they rarely have tax increment districts that generate surplus revenues that are not needed for removal of blight. In its current form Rep. Ozment's bill perpetuates the growing advantage the Outer Suburban cities have over the older cities. 5. Rep. Ozment will, in the final analysis, probably have little input over what porticns of his bill actually end up in the Omnibus Tax Bill where all tax increment legislation will ultimately appear. Rep. Ozment is a Republican and will probably not vote for the House tax bill nor will probably any other Republican in the House of Representatives. 6. Greater Minnesota Democrats may simply become frustrated by the ongoing complexities associated with the use of tax increment, which are generally the result of the creative uses of tax increment by the Outer Suburban cities. As a result the Greater Minnesota Democrats may try to exempt Outstate from all of the new requirements or may simply demand that the q Y P Y House Tax Committee ultimately do nothing with tax increment except to deal with the LGA /HACA penalty issue. • 7. Rep. Ozment is conscientiously and sincerely trying to reform abuses, perceived or real, that have developed over the last number of years. unfortunately, he is in an almost impossible position because it is his Outer Suburban counterparts that may have the most to lose by the reforms that he is suggesting. The older cities see no relief in his bill in their war on blight. Greater Minnesota sees only additional complications. As a result, it appears easier to put together coalitions to oppose and kill the bill than to attempt to pass it. 8. The Senate appears to be heading in the opposite direction of the House. The Senate seems to have no interest in adding additional complexities and Sen. Hottinger's bill which eliminates the LGA /HACA penalty completely may be incorporated in the Senate version of the Omnibus Tax Dill. 9. Both House and Senate appear willing to pass numerous local bills which provide cities with individual exceptions to the current law. CONCLUSION • At this point in the Session our conclusion is simply that there is no consensus on what should be included in the "reform" of tax increment. The older cities and Greater Minnesota need relief from the LGA /HACA penalties. Most observers believe that the older cities, particularly in the Seven County Metro Area, do not need to be further competitively disadvantaged by the use of tax increment in the Outer Suburban cities. There is an opportunity this Session to put together legislation that restricts the use of tax increment when and where it should be restricted and yet allows it to be used as an important local redevelopment and economic development tool, where it was also meant to be used. Enclosed is our prepared written testimony which we provided at the House hearings on Rep. Ozment's bill. Some of you have received this previously. We would be most appreciative if you could review our comments and provide us with your observations.

After that near disaster, we televised all the known sections of sanitary main constructed from corrugated metal pipe (CMP), and in 1992 replaced two sections that were in the worst condition. One 6,000 foot run remains. While it is not in imminent danger of collapse, this main is recommended for improvement as well. The primary reasons are that first, it serves a substantial part of the central area of the city; and second, that it in areas runs along mid block side lot lines. A failure in this line could have results ranging from inconvenience to severe property damage. The Capital Improvement Program includes for 1995 the rehabilitation of this trunk sanitary sewer line from 69th Avenue to Lift Station #1. The proposed rehabilitation consists of the relining of approximately 6,000 feet of corrugated metal sewer pipe (CMP) that has aged and deteriorated beyond its useful life. This project would complete all repairs to all known sections of CMP sanitary sewers. Because for a part of its traverse the sewer main runs along midblock property lines, it is impractical and expensive to excavate and replace the main. Due to the depth of the main, to excavate a safe trench we would literally be excavating residents' entire back yards and between houses and garages. This project is a textbook application of a technology called Cured In Place Pipe. A leader in the field is the firm Insituform; like other brand names that have entered the general vocabulary, this process is often called "insituforming. " I have attached a page from an Insituform brochure which explains the process. We used Insituform recently on the 69th Avenue project, to line the sanitary sewer running under Brooklyn Boulevard. Request For Council Consideration Page 2 While the process is not nearly as disruptive as excavating and replacing main, it is expensive. For this 6,000 foot run, the estimated project cost is $1.1' million. In the past few sanitary sewer rate • studies, we have shown this project as being funded by sanitary sewer revenue bonds, to pay for this major project over time, rather than severely depleting our sanitary sewer capital funds. The whole project is expected to take about two weeks. Residents whose sanitary sewer services run directly into this line will be disrupted for the short time that the contractor is working on their block. When the contractor moves to their segment of the main, the main itself will be shutdown between two manholes, with bypass pumping carrying the upstream flow around the segment being worked on. The contractor would begin the process around 8 am, after many people have left for work or school. By about 3 pm the liner wold be installed and cured and the contractor would begin cutting in new services. Service would generally be restored by about 5 pm that same day. Residents who are home during the day would be asked not to use their sanitary service, but in reality there is enough storage room in the sanitary sewer service and the house pipes to handle a few toilet flushes or the spillage in the sink that normally occurs when one gets a drink of water or lightly rinses off a dish or two. Obviously the residents would not be able to run dishwashers or clothes washers, shower or bathe, or otherwise create significant flow from their homes. In this type of project it is obviously extremely important to have very effective public relations. We will conduct neighborhood informational meetings before the project begins, and will assign one city staff member to this project whose primary responsibility during both planning and construction will be to ensure that the public is well informed and is inconvenienced as little as possible. We will be coordinating with other departments to see if the might provide some assistance for people g P Y g P P P • who are home during the day and may have trouble simply leaving for the day, such as nonmobile seniors, families with young children, home day care operators, etc. What options we may provide will depend on specific circumstances. A resolution establishing the project and authorizing preparation of plans and specifications is attached for Council consideration. • Now InsituformAs Installed Insituform is a proven process for reconstructing damaged pipelilie systems in municipal and industrial applications • without digging. A flexible, resin absorbent, fabric Insitutube coated on the outside with an elastomeric material, is custom engineered and manufactured to fit the cross - section, length and required design thickness for the dam- aged pipe. The Insitutube is saturated (wet -out) with a liquid thermosetting resin. Resin selection is determined by the effluent characteristics and type of service (gravity vs. pressure). Insituform is installed using an inversion technique which allows the material to negotiate bends, accommodate changes in pipe alignment and size, and span missing pipe segments. A new Cured -in -Place Pipe (CIPP), or Insitupipe is formed inside of the existing conduit as follows (other inversion techniques can be used for several applications): iW`4 STAGE i The resin saturated material is installed in the STAGE 2 Water from nearby hydrants, or other conve- existing pipe through a manhole or other access point via nient source, is used to fill the inversion standpipe.

Request For Council Consideration • Item Description: Staff Report Re: Improvement Project No. 1994 -13, 65th Avenue Realignment, Brooklyn Boulevard to Indiana Avenue Department Approval: Diahe_.Soector, Director of Public Se i Manager's Review /Recommendation: No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached Recommended City Council Action: Staff report. Consider whether some portion of the costs of the project would be assessed to the adjacent property owners. If the Council wishes to assess some part of the cost, a resolution declaring • cost to be assessed and scheduling a hearing on the project and the assessments is provided. If the Council declines to assess the cost of the roadway, a resolution accepting the feasibility report and ordering preparation of plans and specifications is provided. Summary Explanation: (supporting documentation attached Yes ) The Park and Ride /Pond /Associated Improvements project includes the reconstruction and realignment of 65th Avenue from Brooklyn Boulevard to Indiana Avenue. The purpose of the realignment is to flatten out the two curves on 65th to improve safety. The street to the east of approximately Marlin Drive will be constructed to a higher standard than is usual for a residential street, to accommodate the anticipated bus traffic. Our joint powers agreement with the MCTO provides that they will pay the cost of the extra depth of pavement. They will also pay one -half of the cost of the street reconstruction for that segment of 65th that would abut the Park and Ride. The City's share of the cost of the roadway realignment would be charged to the storm drainage utility. Last year the City sold storm drainage revenue bonds to finance the acquisition of property, and construction of the storm water pond /open space improvements and the realignment of 65th Avenue. The feasibility report prepared by Sue Mason, the design engineer for the project from the firm of Short Elliott Hendrickson, summarizes the proposed project. The final alignment of 65th Avenue • has not yet been established, as we have not yet met with the property owners on the south side of 65th to review options with them. However, we do intend to meet with them within the next two to four weeks. The purpose for bringing this item to the Council's attention now is to make a final determination on project financing. Typically, a street improvement project is assessed in part or whole to the Request For Council Consideration Page 2 benefitting property owners. Obviously the MCTO is a benefitting property owner, and they have agreed to pay a substantial portion of the cost of the street improvement where their facility would • abut 65th Avenue. However, there are eight residences abutting 65th Avenue, an apartment complex, and a dental clinic. They would benefit from having the street reconstructed, curb and gutter installed, and in the case of some of those residences, the street actually realigned so it is farther from them. However, there are two arguments that could be made which would argue for no special assessments. First, this street would not have come up for reconstruction for several more years, but for the Park and Ride /Pond project. The MCTO recognized this fact and agreed to pay one- third the assessments which would have been charged the residential properties, suggesting that the City consider paying one - third, or perhaps two - thirds, meaning the residential properties would have no assessments at all. Second, it may be difficult to show benefit to the properties, especially those nearer the Park and Ride. While some properties would have the road moved away from them, they also would be subject to additional traffic, noise, and fumes from increased bus and car traffic in front of their homes. While that activity would be mostly confined to a few hours a day, it still is a factor. Given these factors, it would not be inappropriate for the Council to consider paying one - third, or perhaps even the remaining two- thirds of the $1,550 assessment (the rate which was in effect when the Park and Ride /Pond project was approved). The City and the MCTO paying the special assessment would certainly make the project more acceptable to the neighbors. • The two non - residential properties, the apartments and the dental clinic, may be another situation. the MCTO did not agree to pay a portion of the assessments to those properties. However, the same argument that they would not have been subject to assessments but for the project also applies. It is staff's recommendation that the Council consider paying the full amount of the assessments, in other words, not levy any assessments, with MCTO contributing to the overall project financing that part of the residential assessments it was prepared to contribute. If the Council wishes to assess some or all of these properties, then the proper step at this time is to receive the feasibility report, declare the cost to be assessed and call for a public hearing on May 8, 1995. If the Council declines to levy special assessments, the proper step at this time is to receive the feasibility report, and direct the consulting engineer to prepare plans and specifications. • CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER SPECIAL ASSESSMENT CERTIFICATION ROLL 65th Avenue Realignment, Brooklyn Bouelvard to Indiana Avenue MUNICIPAL CODE NO. 22 OWNER LEVY PROPERTY ADDN.

By motion direct staff to negotiate a joint powers agreement with Brooklyn Park • regarding project- related issues of mutual concern. Summary Explanation: (supporting documentation attached Yes ) The purpose of this item is to update the Council on details of roadway design, to obtain the Council's authorization to negotiate with Brooklyn Park a joint powers agreement regarding the pond to be located in Brooklyn Park, and the reconstruction of 73rd, and to obtain the Council's approval of plans and specifications and authorization to advertise for bids. Roadway Design There are several issues which have been reviewed by the Administrative Traffic Committee, and its recommendations have been or are in the process of being reviewed by the neighborhood. Chokers We have reviewed possible locations for chokers, and have concluded that the one location which may benefit from them is the intersection of Kyle Avenue and Woodbine Lane (see Figure 1). Chokers would break up the several - block -long straight roadway from Noble Avenue to Halifax Avenue. All four of the property owners on the affected corners have approved this concept. We have sent a letter to the Woodbine Lane residents to ask for general comments. We have also indicated that the ATC would not consider four way stop signs at this time, but would instead review the impact of the chokers a year after installation to determine if they had accomplished enough traffic calming. • We had originally considered the "entrances" to the neighborhood for chokers. The fact that Woodbine Lane and Halifax Avenue are bus routes makes changing corner radii difficult. On review, we believe that we can accomplish similar results by constructing "mini- nodes," that is, corners with some decorative features, a very Request For Council Consideration Page 2 abbreviated version of the nodes in the Heritage Center commercial area. By constructing attractive curb cuts, crosswalk treatments, corner treatments, and neighborhood entrance signs we can provide nearly the • same impact of "you are entering a neighborhood" as chokers provide. 71st Avenue "V" We have developed a design for a modified traffic circle, a "traffic kidney bean," (see Figure 2) to replace the V. To construct the design we will need to acquire right of way from three properties. The three property owners are very much in favor of the proposed design. This design has the advantage of eliminating the ability of traffic to cut across lanes, or even one property owner's lawn, to minimize travel distance at the V. If the Council is agreeable to this design, we will bring back to the April 24 meeting permanent easement and compensation agreements for these three properties, for Council approval. We intend the new traffic circle to be landscaped. We also will replace the trees that the property owner at the apex of the V will lose when we relocate the roadway. We believe this will be a significant enhancement to the neighborhood. Other Issues We have received a number of miscellaneous requests. Some property owners are concerned about on- street parking in the neighborhood of St. Al's CCD house at Halifax and 71st. We are exploring with the neighborhood the possibility of posting one or both sides of the street No Parking from 5 pm to 10 pm, to encourage visitors to the CCD house to use St. Al's parking lot rather than the street. Some property owners have requested that a sidewalk on 71st Avenue be investigated, to assist walkers going to St. Al's. The ATC believes that a sidewalk on 71st is not warranted at this time, but we will explore the possibility of incorporating a walkway into any redevelopment of St. Al's property. • Finally, the ATC has recommended that the crosswalk on Noble Avenue at Woodbine Lane be retained but that the crosswalk at 72nd Avenue, which no longer services school children (they are now all bussed) be moved slightly to the south, just across from the entrance to Brooklyn United Methodist Church's sacristy. The church has requested such a move to provide a crosswalk for parishioners parking in their south parking lot needing to cross Noble Avenue. There is now no crosswalk for those parishioners wishing to cross Noble, except at 72nd, a location which is significantly out of the way. As a result, pedestrians cross Noble at many different locations, a practice which is unsafe both for the pedestrians and the traffic using Noble. Joint Powers Agreement As we finalize the design of the project, we need to come to an agreement with Brooklyn Park about a number of issues, including dedication of an easement for the pond, maintenance of the pond, and details of that part of 73rd Avenue within Brooklyn Park that we will be reconstructing in exchange for the opportunity to construct a pond in their park. Brooklyn Park wishes to detail all these issues in a joint powers agreement. Brooklyn Park staff tonight are requesting from their Council authorization to negotiate such an agreement. Tonight we request your authorization to work with Brooklyn Park to negotiate such an agreement. We expect to bring this agreement back to the Council at the April 24 meeting. Plans and Specifications • We request Council approval of plans and specifications and authorization to advertise for bids. These plans have been prepared using the design assumptions detailed above. We plan to open bids on Thursday, May 18 and bring a contract to the Council for award at the May 22 meeting. Construction would then begin around June 1. 90 80.9 .

Discuss and provide direction regarding Community Improvement Task Force. An enabling resolution is attached for Council consideration. Number of community representatives should be filled in, and also the date by which the Task Force should report to the Council. Staff • recommends July 15, 1995. Summary Explanation: (supporting documentation attached ) The following is a report on the status of the potential bond issue, including an updated calendar. RFP For Architectural Services The RFP has been sent out, to be returned by the end of April. A short list should be brought to the Council on May 8, with interviews following. A recommendation is anticipated at the May 22 Council meeting. Opinion Survey Staff have met with Mr. Bill Morris of Decision Resources, and expect a draft of the opinion survey questions within ten days, hopefully in time for review at the April 24 Council meeting. It is expected that we will receive the final report in mid to late June, to assist in structuring the package or packages. The final recommendation will of course depend on the results of the opinion survey, but it appears that multiple questions rather than a single package may be the way we will be • advised to structure the referendum. Attached is a listing of discussion items Public Services Coordinator Jim Glasoe prepared to help structure the survey. These items include not only questions of relevance to the bond issue, but also an update of general attitudes last surveyed in Decision Resources' 1988 community survey. Aside Request For Council Consideration Page 2 from the issues identified on the attachment, Decision Resources will also test attitudes regarding • level of taxation, financial climate, service expectations, etc. Even if the Council eventually decides not to go forward with the bond issue, this survey will be helpful on many levels. Community Improvement Task Force The Task Force has been advertised, and an article about it appeared in the Brooklyn Center Post Nonetheless, we have so far received no applications. We believe this is because it is early in the process, and few concrete proposals have received wide public review. The Council could consider establishing the task force, and requesting the five commissions to appoint one member to the task force immediately. This abbreviated group would work to finalize the survey questions and interview architects. As the process moves along and things begin to firm up, we would step up the amount of media coverage, and again advertise for citizen members. The larger, more representative group would then review the survey results and help shape project design and the bond packages. An enabling resolution is attached for Council consideration. The number of community members is left blank; the Council could fill in a number now, and if need be change that representation at a later date. Under Subdivision 4, the date by which the Council expects a report is also left blank. Based on the revised schedule, I suggest the Council consider July 15, 1995 as the report date. • • Discussion Items • Community Survey Meeting w/ Bill Morris, Decision Resources, Ltd.

We received proposals from Mona Meyer McGrath & Gavin, Bloomington, Minnesota; Edwin Neuger & Associates Public Relations, Minneapolis, Minnesota; Bozell Public Relations, Minneapolis, Minnesota; Freelance Consortium, Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Minda & Associates, Minneapolis, Minnesota, in response to our request for proposals. All proposals were reviewed by staff in detail and brought to the communications task force for review. It was the consensus of the communications task force to interview the top two firms which were determined to be Mona Meyer McGrath & Gavin and Edwin Neuger & Associates. Interviews took place on Monday, April 3, 1995. At the completion of the interviews, the communications task force's recommendation was to enter into contract with Mona Meyer McGrath & Gavin for the community image campaign. At the February 13, 1995, Council meeting, the City Council approved a motion authorizing the communications task force to interview perspective public relations firms; directing the city manager and staff to work with the steering committee, the Chamber of Commerce, and the communications task force to finalize the image campaign plan and to recommend a specific action plan, including recommendations for the most effective use of the $25,000 appropriated in the 1995 general fund budget for this general purpose. At this time, staff, the communications task force, along with the steering committee, is requesting that the City Council enter into contract with Mona Meyer McGrath & Gavin in the amount of $21,000 to coordinate and implement the City of Brooklyn community image campaign. • Attached for your information is the proposal as presented by Mona Meyer McGrath & Gavin.

(For one client this represents a 15 -year period.) I look forward to introducing you to these two and hope they have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills for you in the near future. In addition to media relations, you have also designated some 20 percent of Phase I to the creation of a campaign sloganflogo. MMMG is pleased to offer the City of Brooklyn Center the services of our award- winning Graphic Design Group. Our team of six talented in -house designers create innovative design solutions for our varied client base — whether its a campaign logo or a complete corporate identity program, a program flier or a magazine — our designers apply their graphic design skills to match our clients' needs. It Let me conclude this letter with a statement of commitment. I manage the Minnesota Group within MMMG. The mission of the Minnesota Group is to meet the needs of our Minnesota -based clients — with a special emphasis on community, government and small business.

Already we have viewed recent newspaper coverage of the City in the Star Tribune and the St. Paul Pioneer Press and spoken with assignment editors at local televisions stations about coverage and perceptions of Brooklyn Center.
