Commission.

noted this was the second application from Mr. Kelly and the first from Mr. Reichel.
7/11/94 _ 4 - s
DISCUSSION ITEMS
STAFF REPORT REGARDING PROPOSED WILLOW LANE PARK
MODIFICATIONS
The City Manager asked for a report from the Director of Public Services.
The Director of Public Services discussed the consideration of changes to Willow Lane Park,
particularly the removal of tennis courts, removal or relocation of basketball courts, and
relocation of playground equipment toward the school. At the direction of the Council, over
125 survey forms were sent to residents in the area inviting their response to the proposed
changes. Staff received 14 survey responses and spoke personally with several residents. In
regard to the tennis courts, 5 of the 14 respondents expressed a desire the tennis courts not
be removed. One resident close to the courts stated they are not used very much. The
Director of Public Services stated the cost of rehabilitating the courts would be $35,000 to
$50,000 and she continues to recommend the cost - effective approach is to remove the courts.
She added other tennis courts are available to adequately serve the needs of residents, and
the cost of rehabilitation cannot be justified on the basis of use.
A greater response was received concerning the basketball courts. Residents stated the
courts are used regularly and should not be removed. The Director of Public Services
commented the basketball courts could be relocated to the present location of the tennis
courts if they are removed.
Survey responses from parents of preschoolers showed uneasiness about preschoolers playing
in close proximity to school children (during recess times and lunch times) with the
relocation of park playground equipment nearer the school. The Director of Public Services
suggested the design of a specialized "tot" area in addition to the planned relocation of
equipment. This "tot" area would be located farther from school in a pleasant area and
would include some landscaping and a few pieces of specific equipment for preschoolers.
She added equipment is available from storage or other parks so the arrangement would not
be difficult.
The City Manager commented there was a similar situation at Evergreen Park. Even though
there was tot equipment, small children were still attracted to the other equipment.
However, the addition of a tot area certainly helps for the times the school children are
using the regular equipment.
Councilmember Rosene said he appreciated the effort made to obtain input from the nearby
residents. Although the project was delayed in order to do the survey, he felt the overall
plan is now improved.
Councilmember Scott thanked the Director of Public Services for the work done on this
project. She said the new plan will solve the neighbors' concerns.
7/11/94 _ 5 _
Mayor Paulson verified the tennis courts will be replaced with the relocated basketball
courts. He questioned the cost of $35,000 to $50,000 to rehabilitate them, and whether the
maternal used is the same for the two types of courts. The City Manager said the base is the
same material but the surface material is different. Basketball courts usually have a blacktop
surface, while tennis courts require a specialized surface, as well as a larger area. Tennis
courts are more expensive to build because they require a larger area, a specialized surface,
and a fence.
Mayor Paulson asked whether expanding parking would leave room for tennis courts. The
City Manager replied it would not.
Mayor Paulson noted the plan now is better than the original design. He said the plan
supports the park theme. He also said as a matter of policy an attempt should be made to
provide a diversity of activities provided at the parks, not just current fad.
The City Manager mentioned differences in park make -up over the years, including the
addition of walking trails in the 19Q0s, He said 10 to 15 percent of park development
fluctuates.
Councilmember Mann commented this project is a smart move.
There was a motion by Councilme -mber Mann and seconded by Councilmember Rosene to
go forward with the modifications of Willow Lane Park, including removing the tennis
courts, expanding the parking lot, relocating the basketball courts, developing a tot area.
The motion passed unanimously.
STAFF REPORT REGARDING PROPOSED CITY HALL REMODELLING
The City Manager reviewed that Staff had been authorized to obtain more detailed estimates
regarding City Hall remodelling.
The City Manager presented a Resolution Authorizing Development of a Request: for
Proposal (RFP) for Professional Services, Improvement Project No. 1994 -32, City Hall
Remodelling, and Amending the Appropriation.
The Director of Public Services reviewed the three objectives of the proposed remodeling;
to provide additional space for the Police Department; to provide adjustable, ergonomically
correct workstations for employees who regularly use computers; and to provide for
additional and more efficient workspace and storage in the upper level of City Hall while
correcting code deficiencies and helping meet ADA requirements.
In regard to space to house the Police Department, the Director of Public Services outlined
three options. to remodel the existing facility, to lease space, or to add temporary facilities.
The first option is impractical as all storage space is currently in use and the removal of
items currently being stored there to other storage or disks would be cost prohibitive. The
7111194
-6-
second option concerned moving some or all of the department off -site. The cost of leasing
space for just the investigators, outside of lost benefits related to proximity, would be an
estimated $175,000 to $200,000 over a three -year period, plus $35,000 in operating costs.
The cost to lease space for the entire department would be prohibitive, at a three -year total
of nearly $1 mfilion. The third option was to add temporary facilities. Plans were developed
by an architect and another consultant concerning work spaces. The estimated cost for this
option is $113,000. She noted the difference from the April estimate of $70,000 was related
the facility being purchased rather than Ieased. She also added the resale value of the
temporary facility and the re -use of the furnishings make an actual cost of $50,000 to
$60,000.
Mayor Paulson asked whether the facility would be like two trailer homes. The Director of
Public Services said they would be like temporary classrooms.
Mayor Paulson asked whether the police officers who would be affected have been consulted
about the ideas. The Director of Public Services stated the officers desire more working
space regardless of the method used to obtain it. The City Manager added the officers are
reluctant to be split up, citing operational problems which would arise. He commented the
Police Department cannot continue to operate under current conditions.
Councilmember Rosene noted the use of trailers would be a short -term solution and the
officers would need to realize that. He asked about the implications of a necessary hole in
a secure area (police department). The Director of Public Services said the Police Chief has
said there will be no compromise in security and that motion detectors and security cameras
will be used. She stated the hole would have to be filled at a later date but at that time the
area would most likely not house the police department.
Councilmember Rosene questioned the safety of having only one exit from the proposed
facility. The City Manager said there is an exit in the design. He added the area meets the
qualifications of a bomb shelter so cutting a new door would be alright.
Councilmember Rosene asked whether the Police Chief is concerned about the temporary
structure being broken into. The City Manager answered the structure would be above
grade.
Councilmember Scott remarked most often someone would prefer to break out of jail rather
than into jail, She asked what part of the police department would move to a temporary
facility. The Director of Public Services stated that, while no final decision has been made,
as of this date, those moving would be the Fire Chief and secretary, the investigators, and
the TAP volunteers.
Mayor Paulson asked what employees would be moved into the vacated area. The Director
of Public Services noted sergeants and some patrol officers would be moved. The City
Manager commented many employees are sharing desks in the one room but the number
7/11/94 -7-
7
would be cut from 12 to 7 or 8 employees. He added the air system in the room is unable
to handle the large number.
Councilmember Mann asked whether the chlorine storage will be moved; the Director of
Public Services said it would not.
Councilmember Mann commented this project should not be undertaken if the Council does
not feel it is necessary. She asked why the current fitness room in the community center
can't be used by the police department. The City Manager said the size of the room and
the type of equipment are not adequate. The plan calls for joint use by the police and the
firefighters and there are requirements which govern the facilities used.
Councilmember Mann asked whether the temporary facility would address the ADA
requirements. The Director of Public Services said it would not.
Councilmember Rosene questioned the square footage change noted between Table I and
the following paragraph. The Director of Public Services explained the 1,500 square feet
relates to moving just the inspectors, whereas the 20,000 square feet relates to moving the
entire police department.,
In regard to new workstations, the Director of Public Services noted 13 new stations were
authorized in an April meeting. Now workstations are needed in response to rising
computer - related injuries and upcoming regulations governing the use of computer
workstations. Adjustable workstations are recommended. There are also requirements by
OSHA which can lead to fines against employers. There is a question of whether failing to
provide proper workstations to persons who have been injured or suffer from various back
or neck problems can be considered a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA).
The Director of Public Services reviewed the estimated costs and mentioned the cost for
workstations alone equals one -half the amount of the total proposed remodelling project.
She added the workstations will be usable regardless of the course of remodelling and that,
as employers, the City is responsible for providing a safe and productive workplace.
Councilmember Mann inquired ,about the number of workstations which have been
purchased. The Director of Public Services said Staff is in the final stages of selecting the
equipment and expect to submit an order within the next two weeks.
Councilmember Mann asked whether Table 2 includes all employees. The Director of
PubIie Services said it includes employees who use computers and that number is
approximately 80 percent of all employees in upper City Hall.
Councilmember Scott asked whether the figures listed for Park and Recreation and City
Garage relate solely to workstations. The Director of Public Services said they do.
7/11/94
Councilmember Scott said those figures were high. The Director of Public Services said the
base cost for a workstation (chair, frame, files, etc.) is $4,000.
Councilmember Scott said she has experience with a cost of $2,600 for a top -of -the -line
model including all elements needed. The Director of Public Services said the $4,000 figure
is a generous estimate; products vary and some could cost less.
Councilmember Scott suggested the Director of Public Services contact her for the name of
the less expensive supplier.
Councilmember Scott asked whether the existing furniture would be sold. The Director of
Public Services said it probably would be sold.
The City Manager remarked in some instances employees on different shifts share
equipment, so the equipment must be user - adjustable. Workstations which are only used
by one employee may be mechanic - adjusted instead.
The Director of Public Services next discussed the reconfiguration of the space on the upper
level of City Hall for the purpose of meeting ADA requirements and correcting building
code problems, She displayed a proposed floor plan and explained the Staff
recommendation.
Two issues to be addressed are long corridors which violate the building code and the need
for an additional meeting room. The Director of Public Services also noted there are a
couple of accessibility items which are not addressed by the plan; for example, power doors,
ramps, specific employee needs.
Some remodelling is proposed for the Community Center. The design shown was
preliminary, but more workspace is required at the front counter. More storage is also
needed at the Community Center.
The total remodelling estimate is $472,000; however, 80 percent to 85 percent of the cost
is considered reusable while 15 percent to 20 percent could possibly be lost investment if a
City Hall expansion were to occur - in future years. Another consideration to be made is the
benefit of three years of a safer and more productive environment.
Councilmember Mann asked whether cost had been the reason power doors were not added.
The Director of Public Services confirmed this and stated an attempt was made for this
estimate to be bare bones. The application of power doors varies, but can cost from $5,000
to $30,000.
Councilmember Scott asked what area with benches is being considered for storage. The
City Manager explained the benches are upstairs in the Community Center and using that
area would be economical.
7/11/94 -9-
-
Councilmembcr Scott asked where the entrance would be relocated. The City Manager
described moving one window panel to the north. There was a discussion about the design
of the entrance area, its function in stopping cold winds, and an "air lock."
Councilmember Scott expressed concern the Fire Marshal could penalize the City for the
condition of the storage spaces. The City Manager commented the storage areas have been
in use for 20 years and storage is always the last element to be considered.
Councilmember Rosene asked about a fitness center mentioned for the Police Department.
The Director of Public Services said a fitness center is a long -term need which is not
addressed in this proposal.
Counc- Umember Rosene mentioned using the facilities the City already has. The Director
of Public Services said the fitness center in the Community Center is not large enough and
does not have the equipment desired by the Police Department.
The Director of Public Services asked Council to consider making a resolution to allow Staff
to prepare an RFP to move the project from the preliminary phase into the design phase
and to allocate an estimated cost of $915,000 rather than $800,000. She mentioned deduct
alternates can still be developed.
Councilmember Scott asked whether one company alone would handle the whole project or
whether there would be three separate RFPs since there are three different types of work
required. The Director of Public Services said a primary consultant would be hired who
would then subcontract to specialists. The City Manager commented the City of Crystal
recently used that method successfully. There is a question of using construction
management or an architect.
Councilmember Scott stated she agreed each part should be handled by an expert.
The Director of Public Services sated Risk Management would also be involved in the
process.
RESOLUTION NO 94-141
Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING DEVELOPMENT OF AN RFP FOR PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1994 -32, CITY HALL REMODELLING,
AND AMENDING THE APPROPRIATION
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member
Kristen Mann.
7/11/94 _ 10-
4 '
Councilmember Rosene questioned whether other new police department facilities could be
investigated, and whether members of the Council might arrange tours individually or as
pairs, or whether there would be group held trips. The City Manager said the other new
police departments in the area were newly constructed rather that remodelled facilities. He
added that when the Council Chambers was approved for remodelling there was a video
taken of some other facilities. Then, the choice was narrowed down before actual touring.
He said that procedure could be followed again, followed by site visits of a few facilities.
Councilmember Rosene commented the procedure made sense and asked if it could be
arranged. The City Manager asked whether he meant touring facilities to be models for a
temporary facility or for an interim period.
Councilmember Rosene said he is interested in seeing ideas for the future.
Mayor Paulson noted he would vote against the motion because it contained all three
elements. He felt not enough wm being done for the Police Department, too much was
being done with the upstairs of City Hall, and there was not adequate consideration of ADA
requirements. He agreed with Councilmember Scott that Staff should look at less expensive
suppliers. He added the Council needs to find an ultimate answer to the concerns and that
a temporary solution may have a negative effect on a permanent solution.
There was a discussion regarding a future bond issue,
The Director of Public Services stated Staff has researched permanent solutions. She
offered to locate the research and prepare a bond referendum which addresses the Police
Department issue.
Councilmember Mann asked whether Mayor Paulson was saying he wants the police to work
under substandard conditions until a erman p ent solution is reached, Mayor Paulson said
that is incorrect as he had stated the City is not supporting the Police Department well
enough, yet the upstairs of City Hall is addressed. He said a facility should be leased if
necessary,
Councilmember Mann called the cucstion.
Roll call vote: Councilmember Rosene, aye; Councilmember Scott, aye; Councilmember
Mann, aye; Mayor Paulson, nay. The motion carried.
RES 4UUTIONS - CONTINUED
The City Manager presented a Resolution Providing for the Acceptance of Certain Real
Property in the City and Authorizing the Execution of an Agreement Therefor.
The City Manager explained owners on 69th Avenue wish sh to donate a piece of ro er
P P ty to
the City, The benefit for the owners would be a tax write -off, The property is on the south

P
side of 69th Avenue, west of Neil's Total Station. The Council has the opportunity to accept
pP ty t p
donation of the property.
The Director of Community Development gave details of the proposal.
The Director of Community Development said if the City accepts the property it will then
control the development of the property. He said the property could be key in long -term
development. The City could keep the property from becoming multi- family since it's zoned
for 10 units.
RESOLUTION NO, 94 -142
Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE ACCEPTANCE OF CERTAIN REAL
PROPERTY IN THE CITY AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN
AGREEMENT THEREFOR
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Dave
Rosene.
Councilmember Rosene asked whether re- zoning of the property could be accomplished
quickly. The Director of Community Development said it could be re -zoned but he
questioned the purpose of doing so. He said the City would already control development.
Councilmember Rosene said he did not mind closing the option of R5 zoning.
The motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager presented a Resolution Giving Preliminary Approval to the Issuance of
Tax- Exempt Bonds and Authorizing Application for Allocation of Bonding Authority. He
explained that within the past two weeks, a new ownership group has expressed interest in
purchasing Four Courts Apartments. This group is also interested in seeking an allocation
for revenue bonds for the purchase and rehabilitation of the project. This resolution would
provide preliminary approval of the issuance of the bonds. The revenue bonds do not affect
the debt capacity of the City.
The Director of Community Development provided more details on the matter. -He, said
July 25, 1994, is the application deadline. He also said the Community Development
Specialist and he had researched the history of project management in other communities
and have now decided it would be in the best interest of the City.
The Director of Community Development said, based on Dominium's reputation in
Bloomington, Dakota County, Duluth, etc., it will be strong management. He mentioned
maintenance e ance at the facility has been good but it is now time for long-term corrections.
7/11/94 -12-
The Director of Community Development recommended the resolution subject to fees which
will be assessed. He said a fee policy for this and future projects will be presented at the
next Council meeting.
Representatives of the ownership group, Paul Sween and Jim Winkels, were present to
answer questions.
Councilmember Scott complimented the representatives on the make -up of the management
team. She said it is well organized. She then asked how the Four Courts complex came to
the group's attention. Mr. Sween said this will be the fifth acquisition for the company this
year so normal channels who know the group wants this kind of investment produced the
match.
Councilmember Scott asked when the group would take over Four Courts. Mr. Sween said
it would probably take over in fourth quarter of 1994.
Councilmember Scott commented she liked the group's goal of being a good neighbor and
wished the group good luck.
Councilmember Mann asked Mr. Sween about the possibility of having three - bedroom units.
Mr. Sween said the groups intention is to rehabilitate the complex as it is now. Although
three- bedroom units are not in the current plan, the group would look at that option if a
survey showed it was needed.
Mayor Paulson encouraged the representatives to maintain the current composition of the
site. He also urged the complex can be turned around.

UPDATING CILAPTFR 12 BUILDING MAIN'I' NANCE AND O�'CiJpANCY
ORDINANCE, TO INCLUDE DOMESTIC ABUSE IN SECTI N 12-911, CON
LI
QN CENSED PREMISES
The City Manager explained the Council had specifically directed Staff to consider adding
domestic abuse to the activities which constitute a violation of Section 12 -911. He said it
appears such an addition to the Ordinance may be counter - productive, The City Manager
stated a situation of domestic abuse is generally covered anyway because a neighbor calls the
authorities about noise.
The Director of Community Development mentioned Brooklyn Park has the same
ordinance. He added discussions with members of the Police Department have brought up
a concern that if domestic abuse were part of the Ordinance the landlord could evict the
tenants; therefore, the victim might not report the abuse so as not to risk eviction. He
agreed if there was a problem situation there would be calls to the Police Department by
neighbors concerning disorderly conduct. The tools for handling domestic abuse are
available in other sections of the Ordinance.
Councilmember Mann asked whether the "abuser" could be linked to the abuse situation
rather than the victim. The City Manager said the name on the lease is what is affected and
cannot be separated.
7/1$/94 - 1 -
Councilmember Mann asked whether the police officers encourage victims of domestic abuse
to Me complaints. The City Manager said the officers give the victim the phone number for
Project Peace or make the call immediately. He added the first step by a police officer is
to make an arrest to get the perpetrator out of the situation, so then there is not as great
a need for shelter for the victim. Often the abuser has been bailed out within 24 hours, but
the judge usually restricts the abuser from returning, which puts the victim in a stronger
situation.
The City Manager suggested monitoring the situation for a year to determine whether the
other parts of the Ordinance cover the matter adequately, as the initial review indicates
there is coverage.
Mayor Paulson said he appreciated the issue having been brought out. He stressed an
outreach approach might be better than more regulations. He suggested greater
communication of available resources for victims of domestic abuse. The City Manager
commented the Block Watch system is beginning to work.
Mayor Paulson mentioned Project Peace as a possible communication link. He also stated
Project Peace is an organization which is growing and moving toward non - profit status and
perhaps the Council could have an influence in the area of funding. The City Manager
agreed.
Mayor Paulson relayed he had a conversation recently with Couneilmember Rosene and
Senator McGowan in which concern was expressed a temporary restraining order (TRO)
should be filed so it can be accessed at all times. The City Manager said there is a system
by which a TRO can be accessed 24 hours per day.
The Director of Public Services explained there is a connection through LOGIS allowing this
access and, in fact, Brooklyn Center houses the system for the area.
The City Manager reviewed the events leading to Brooklyn Center obtaining the system.
He said in the past there would be a need to see computer files in order to finalize cases but
Police Department staff would he too busy to handle the work. It was decided there should
be a way to tap into the existing system for information and this was accomplished two to
three years ago. Now, Brooklyn Center is the site of the terminal which provides
information electronically to several municipalities.
Mayor Paulson requested a letter be drafted to Senator McGowan to inform him of the
existing system.
The City Manager said ultimately an officer in the field may be able to access the
information on a secured airway. He said there will be a report on the matter forthcoming.
Councilmernber Mann said she would like more information about Project Peace.
7/18/94 -2- -
y
Councilmember Scott said her conversations with people in the field of police work have
shown adding domestic abuse in this section of the Ordinance is ill - advised as it is very
difficult to convince a victim to file charges and adding the risk of losing an apartment due
to losing a partner's income could be a further deterrent. She added man m
Y women 4 e
know
there are resources but do not know the details; day care centers are beginning to carry
literature concerning available resources. Also, police officers are beginning to know sources
to recommend. There needs to be more education on available resources.
The City Manager said the Police Department leaves information with a victim. Also, the
police dispatcher notifies Project Peace and members of that organization initiate contact
with the victim. State law mandates police officers are responsible for the safety of the
victim so the officers refer the situation to a counsellor who is experienced and more
effective (which also saves time for the officers).
Councilmember Rosene mentioned Senator McGowan had suggested contacting the
Attorney General's office regarding a tobacco industry matter. He asked if someone could
be directed to call the Attorney General's office.
Councilmember Mann said she believed the person who tabled that motion would need to
take that action. She also said she would like to have Councilmember Kalligher's input on
the matter.
Councilmember Scott suggested adding this issue to the next City Council agenda. The City
Manager recommended informally contacting Councilmember Kalligher and proceeding with
the call.
Councilmember Rosene questioned whether the Council agreed the call could be made.
There was no objection.
The City Manager again asked the question of amendment of the Ordinance to include
domestic abuse in Section 12 -911 be considered for a year. He said if it appears at any time
the existing system (including mailing of letters) is inefficient, Staff will return to the Council
on this issue.
PROPOSED FIVE -YEAR S'T'R ..'1' IMPROVEMENT PLAN
The Director of Public Services explained no decisions concerning street improvements are
called for at this meeting; however, they will be within the next few months.
The City Engineer summarized the status of the 1994 projects. The James/Knox Avenue
and Northwest Area projects were started Memorial Day, six weeks ago. There has been
good weather and so far both projects have been "pretty successful." The City Engineer said
approximately 19 out of 20 contacts with residents have been complimentary. The
contractors are ahead of schedule; Staff is satisfied with the contractors who were chosen.

Regarding the regional pond in the Creek Villa area by The Ponds' property, the City
Engineer commented pictures were sent to the Watershed Commission and the commission
praised the work. 0
Councilmember Rosene asked whether photos could be sent to the media. The City
Engineer said he would prefer to wait until the covering vegetation has grown up.
i
Mayor Paulson said he had taken a call from a resident regarding the road in Creek Villa.
The City Engineer stated the road is being taken care of. He commented a small area of
pavement broke up, and it is being repaired with an overlay.
Mayor Paulson requested the resident be phoned with that information.
The City Manager complimented the Staff and the inspectors. He noted the staff made an
exceptional effort to handle residents and communicate their concerns to the contractors.
Councilmember Mann remarked the newsletters distributed to residents were well -done and
an excellent communication tool. Councilmember Rosene agreed.
The Director of Public Services added Staff has been videotaping the condition of the roads
and neighborhoods during all phases of the projects. The tapes will be shown to residents
in the future so they may have realistic expectations of street improvements.
The City Engineer commented the 1994 projects would have been significantly more
expensive if they had been done in 1993 because of the wet conditions.
Councilmember Rosene inquired whether the excess rock after seal coating will be swept up.
The City Engineer said it would be done this week.
Councilmember Rosene said the situation leads to some drivers spinning around corners and
to a washboard effect on the road.
The City Engineer explained the specifications -allow 7 to 21 days before sweeping the rock
to allow for changes in the surface. Councilmember Scott said 21 days is too long for the
rock to be on the roads.
The City Engineer said the road surface requires the rock for a longer period of time in
cooler temperatures. Since seal coating used to be done later in the summer, 21 days were
needed. Now that the procedure is completed in warmer temperatures, the time period
could be shortened.
The City Engineer next reviewed the proposed five -year street improvement plan. He said
a five -year plan is a requirement for receiving a funding allocation from Minnesota State Aid
7118/94 -4-
(MSA). It is not necessary to do improvements on an MSA street each year, but if the
funds accumulate there is a risk they will be rescinded.
Mayor Paulson asked whether the MSA designation can be moved from one street to
another. The City Engineer said re- assignment can be made if the two roadways serve the
same function (for example, a road serving as a collector).
The City Engineer mentioned two roads he would recommend be removed from the list of
designated MSA roads as they are low- traffic routes and funds are being wasted. Roads
with a higher traffic level can receive necessary funding if they receive the MSA designation;
however, any road considered must be connected to other MSA roads.
Councilmember Rosene commented that because of the highway system Brooklyn Center's
roads are fragmented and there are limited options.
The City Manager said the designation could be changed but there re a limited 1� g a to number of
roads which would meet the requirements.
The City Engineer pointed out all of 73rd Avenue is in Brooklyn Park's MSA system, but
only part of it is in Brooklyn Center. An MSA designation could be re assigned to the part
of 73rd Avenue which doesn't have it to complete the route. Councilmember Rosene agreed
that roadway would be a good candidate for the re- assignment.
Councilmember Scott said she would like the concept of reassignment added to a Work
Session agenda.
The City Engineer expressed a desire to review with the Council the Minnesota State Aid
system.
Councilmcmber Mann agreed and said she would like to be informed about taking the
shorter section of roadway off the program. The City Engineer commented nothing would
be lost by making this change.
The City Engineer explained that street improvement projects are often driven by other
needs. For example, the streets in the Woodbine area are not in desperate condition, but
storm sewers are needed because there are none. Therefore, street replacement becomes
involved. The streets selected for the 1995 program were chosen on the basis needs in the
areas of stree water, sewer, etc.
The City Engineer stated two miles of streets were improved in 1994.
Councilmember Mann asked whether there will be an increase in the number of miles done
in the coming years. The City Engineer pointed out this information on the graph handed
out. The goal is four miles per year.
7118/94 -5 -
The City Engineer said the City Staff is prepared to take care of routine projects in the five-
year program, but there will be specialized projects which will require consulting services. 0
There was a discussion on the Shingle Creek bridge and the 57th Avenue North area.
The Director of Public Services mentioned this proposal has been brought for discussion but
there is a need to formulate a comprehensive plan. She reminded the Council it must
choose to "pay now or pay more in the near future" in regard to street improvements,
The Director of Public Services also explained the Estimated Cost Chart, which does not
attempt to project for inflation and assumes the special assessment rate will increase for
inflation. She said the bonds are for ten years, so it will take ten years to reach a plateau
of levy for debt service. The current unit assessment is $1,550. The cumulative levy increase
over five years would be $750,000. If Council is willing to accept the levy increase, there is
no need for a change. If Council is unwilling to accept the levy increase, the only funding
option is higher level special assessments. If the assessment were increased from $1,550 to
approximately $2,000, there would be a substantial reduction in the levy in the long run.
The City Manager said the impact per household would be about $2. He added other
committees, such as the water management task force, have mentioned a special assessment
should
be considered because the utilities fund will not be large enough. The earlier in the
process this increase is done, the better.
Councilmember Mann asked whether bonding will be necessary if 1995 projects are begun
with 1994 assessments. The City Manager said no city has the fiscal capacity to handle
projects such as these without bonding. There was a discussion of capacity and legal debt
margin.
The Finance Director said taxes and special assessments will be needed, but the City has the
ability to handle the projects,
Councilmember Rosene commented he had always disagreed with special e
Y g p assessments but
now sees they are justifiable in that the resident taxed recognizes direct benefit. However,
with inflation, in 20 years the $1,550 will not be adequate. He suggested indexing $1,550
and tying it to the CPI so it is equal. The City Manager said that is current policy. The
goal is 25 percent to 30 percent of a project's cost be paid by special assessments and some
will be higher. Every year the rate is increased based on construction costs.
Councilmember Rosene asked what avenues of savings there are, He was told less spending
on rebuilding storm sewers and street maintenance,
Mayor Paulson asked for the dollar cost to be quantified. The City Engineer said the
backlog was cut by $18 or $19 million with this program due to systematic maintenance.
The City Manager added the Pavement Management Program (a computer too]) was just
711$/94 -6 -
received approximately six weeks prior to this and quantifying will be worked on. The
Finance Director said the program's benefit comes in the form of good streets rather than
in taxes.
Councilmember Rosene commented money must be spent either way. The City Engineer
said if conditions get bad it will take a long time to get them back into shape. It is best to
work on the "right place at the right time."
Mayor Paulson stated even if money is saved, it will be used someplace else.
Councilmember Scott said the savings comes from not spending more later.
Mayor Paulson said there would be no savings in annual maintenance. The City Manager
said there would be savings from performing less seal coating. The City Engineer said it is
now understood that our current method of seal coating is not cost - effective. There had
been a program of seal coating one - seventh of the streets each year.
Councilmember Rosene asked how long it will take to change from $140,000 in seal coating
to $100,000 in seal coating. The City Engineer said it needs to be a gradual process,
perhaps over two or three years.
The Director of Public Services said the savings comes from maintenance which results in
less major reconstruction. Also, there is added value from the appearance of the
neighborhood with street maintenance. The values of lots and properties is increased due
to attractiveness and people are attracted and satisfied to stay.
The City Manager said Staff will be asking for preliminary approval of the 1995 street
improvement plan. He added cooperation with Brooklyn Park will be necessary in one area.
Councilmember Scott stated there is a noticeable difference when driving into Brooklyn
Center. There was a discussion about improving communication with Brooklyn Park and
about a Minneapolis project which did not coordinate with Brooklyn Center plans.
There was a discussion concerning increasing assessment percentages. The Director of
Public Services said there is a stabilization program which allows the City to contn'bute
towards assessment for residents on fixed incomes who meet certain requirements.
AVDITQR'S MANAGEMENT' LETTER
The City Manager explained this will be opportunity for the financial Staff to respond to the
auditor's suggestions and comments.
The Finance Director asked whether he should respond item by item. Councilmember
Mann commented she felt the first two (cash collateralization and uncollected property
taxes) were already being addressed. The Finance Director agreed.
7/18194 - 7 -
i
In regard to the General Fund Programs, Councilmember Mann questioned why recreation
is not in an Enterprise fund. The City Manager said the definition of an Enterprise fund
is one that "makes money" or "breaks even." The recreation program was not designed to
fit that definition. The City Manager continued the auditor is concerned about how
Brooklyn Center is compared to other cities on the basis of the general fund. Brooklyn
Center appears to be spending above the norm in the area of recreation; however, this is a
result of the Community Center costs. The auditor is recommending establishing an
Enterprise fund to allow for a different perception.
The Finance Director added making the change to an Enterprise fund for that purpose is
a temporary solution and, therefore, a non - productive approach. The City must judge how
much effect the perception has when, after all, it can be explained.
The City Manager pointed out the State does use the figure to criticize the City. He
explained there is a new reporting system being developed. One approach might be to wait
to see how the new system reports it. He also felt the subject should remain open so that
the auditor can make his arguments clear.
Councilmember Mann mentioned she agrees with the concept of Workers' Compensation
self- insurance.
The Finance Director explained the City's rates for Workers' Compensation insurance have
been decreasing as it is below average due to few accidents. However, the premiums appear
to be higher than the benefits. In regard to self-insurance, he stated it is risky. Essentially,
the City would be saying it would pay benefits and administrative costs, but it would expect
the amount to b 1
e ess an currently th cu ently pall in prc,mium. There could be a year with many
costs, although it is possible to build up a reserve and buy re- insurance. Also, Workers'
Compensation is complicated in that there are legal and personnel ramifications. It would
be necessary to hire an outside expert to administrate the plan because of the complicated
nature and to .aid in avoiding personal conflict.
The City Manager said self - insurance would be a chance for premium savings, but would
also be risky. He added there is a risk of a Council in future years being tempted to use the
pool of funds built up, as has happened in other cities,
Councilmember Rosene said it is a necessity to have re- insurance and to hire an
administrator, but it is worth a try. He commented a resolution could be enacted to disallow
future Councils from using the fund. He added the plan through the League of Minnesota
Citics has been preferable to previously used private plans.
7"ne Finance Director commented the Employee Safety Committee has been worthwhile and
resulted in fewer accidents. If the committee continues to work, the situation will continue
to improve.
7/1$/94 - g -
Mayor Paulson asked how the general fund would be affected if a self - insurance plan is
undertaken. The Finance Director said premiums would increase or decrease based on
experience and they would come out of the general fund.
Councilmember Rosene asked whether incentives could be used to encourage safety. The
City Manager said there are legal limits to that practice. The employee committee is the
most effective approach; however, inducements such as prizes and recognition are being:
considered.
Councilmember Rosene suggested a plan similar to an earlier gimmick of extra vacation time
for unused sick leave. The City Manager said those ideas are under consideration.
The Director of Public Services cautioned employees must still be encouraged to file
accident or injury reports, She cited instances where a seemingly insignificant injury became
more serious at a later date.
The City Manager anager said the issue of self - insurance will continue to be studied. There is a
long timelime between the next budget approval and the next audit report. The Finance
Director agreed.
Mayor Paulson agreed all the information should be looked at slowly and carefully.
The City Manager added the initial years of a self - insurance program are the years of
greatest risk.
RFP_ OR AUDITOR
The Finance Director explained if a Request For Proposals (RFP) in regard to auditing is
to be done this year, this is the proper timing to begin the process. He suggested a schedule
of one month to write specifications for approval in August, mailing of specifications and
receipt of responses by late September, interviewing in October, and selection of an auditor
in November. He explained Deloitte & Touche have prepared seven audits for Brooklyn
Center. They recently submitted a proposal for a three -year extension of their services.
The Finance Director said Staff would be comfortable with the Council's choice to retain
Deloitte & Touche or to send out an RFP and hire a different auditor.
Councilmember Rosene questioned where Deloitte & Touche's rate of $25,500 falls on the
range of services and what the City receives for that amount. He commented the City is in
good shape due to the work of the Staff, but added a different firm might bring a new
perspective.
The City Manger commented the auditor is a check on the Staff and it is not advisable to
use the same firm every year since the auditor is familiar with the people and may not look
closely enough. Larger auditing firms solve this concern by rotating auditors. Deloitte &
7/18194 _ g _
Touche has rotated auditors but assigned one who is familiar with the City, which saves time
in initiating the new auditors. Using the same firm for 20 years would be too long; using
the same firm for 7 years is not a maximum amount of time. 0
The Finance Director reviewed the probable responses from issuing an RFP. He said
Council could expect a response from two or three national firms and three or four local
firms. He compared the advantages and disadvantages of using small or large firms,
including the fcc range. The fee of $25,500 is the high end and would come from larger
firms. Smaller fees might also indicate less time spent on the audit, less checking, and would
probably mean the same auditors, leading to the familiarity concern. The Finance Director
added a "big name" from a national firm also may affect the bond rating. The larger firms
can afford specialists to answer questions, often at no additional charge.
Councilmember Mann asked whether most national firms would be around the $25,400
figure. The Finance Director said it is a bidding situation but there would probably not be
a major difference.
Councilmember Scott commented nitpicking is better than complacency. In regard to
Deloitte & Touche, she said she liked their rotation of auditors, was comfortable with them
and doesn't feel they have been used too long, but doesn't mind in an RFP is sent out.
The City Manager said three more years with Deloitte & Touche would be acceptable but
at that point the association will reach ten years., which is too long.
Councilmember Rosene questioned what Councilmember Kalli er had said in regard and to the
g
issue. The City Manager said she had left no response.
The City Manager said direction is needed now if Council wants an RFP sent out.
Councilmember Rosene said he is reluctant to go through an RFP.
Mayor Paulson said it wouldn't hurt to do an RFP and see what firms are available, and
maybe some money could be saved, He also said the process should not be started if the
Council has a closed mind on the issue. He said the process might end in the re- selection
of Deloitte & Touche but the best reasonable price should be determined,
The City Manager noted the ractice of a City send out an RFP on auditors is normal
P tY 8
and Deloitte & Touche would not be offended if the Council took this route.
Councilmember Scott stated she would not agree with habitually sending out an RFP every
two or three years.
Mayor Paulson said if the decision is put off now there will be more stress the next time.
7/18/94 -10-
Councilmember Mann said she would be comfortable whether or not an RFP is sent out
but does prefer a national firm to a local firm.
The City Manager stated the Council should keep an open mind if the process is started.
The Finance Director agreed and added some local firms are qualified and should not be
ruled out quickly,
The Finance Director stated one criteria for the specifications should be the firm have a
minimum number of other municipal clients,
Mayor Paulson asked whether the specifications could include the firm would help in
development of program budgets. The City Manager said that was a good idea. Also, the
auditor should not hesitate to come forward and criticize when necessary. As a resource,
a good auditor is difficult to put a dollar value on.
The City Manager asked for direction from the Council. Council directed an RFP be
initiated.
The Finance Director asked how involved the Council would like to be in the selection
process. Mayor Paulson said the Council wants to be more involved than usual. Maybe one
or two councilmembers could serve in determining the selection and scope of services.
The City Manager said Staff will present a range of choices to the Council.
Councilmember Rosene stated he would like the financial commission to be involved in the
process. The City Manager agreed.
Mayor Paulson asked that a draft of the mission statement be placed on an agenda. The
City Manager said a Council work session would probably be the beginning step,

DISCUSSION ITEMS
NORTHEAST TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR TASK FORCE REPORT
REGARDING INTERIM TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS FOR HUMBOLDT AVENUE
The City Manager stated the Staffs duty was to report back to the Council on this issue.
He stated the chairman of the task force, Frank Slawson, would make the report.
Mr. Slawson reviewed the six suggestions made by the task force. They were'
1) The two newly installed Stop signs at 70th and 72nd should remain until such time
as the roadway is permanently improved.
2) The City should increase enforcement of Stop signs and speed limits.
3) The SMART trailer should be utilized more often to monitor and control speed.
4) The City should consider instituting a Neighborhood Speed Watch group.
5) The City should request Mn/DOT to conduct a study of the impact of an hourly
closure or the total elimination of the free right turn from T.H. 252 to Humboldt
Avenue.
6) Leave in place the sign prohibiting right turns from 73rd Avenue onto southbound
Humboldt Avenue.
Councilmember Scott questioned the purpose of a "Speed Watch group," Mr. Slawson said
the group, as he understood the idea, would act in a manner similar to a Crime Watch
c
group. Participants would be trained to observe traffic for speeding, possibly including the
use of radar equipment, then would report violations directly to the Police Department.
Councilmember Kalligher asked how the system would work in terms of cooperation with
the Police Department. The City Manager said the plan would require evaluation. He
added such a program has been used in Oregon in conjunction with the SMART trailer, a
radar unit connected to a 8' by 5' by 4' display board which displays the speed on
approaching traffic. He said volunteers record the license plate numbers of offenders and
later the offenders are sent a letter from the Police Department. The City Manager stated
the problem with such a program would be assuring the accuracy of the license plate
numbers. He recommended the matter be turned over to the traffic advisdry committee for
a report.
CounciImember Kalligher noted information is also needed on the neighborhood watch
group.

Councilmembcr Rosene commented the task force is still in the early stages of its work but
the effort so far is appreciated. He also mentioned he had heard the group does not always
work well together and felt it was necessary to remind members of the task force they are 0
on the committee by mayoral appointment and the appointment can be reversed if necessary.
Councilmember Kalligher asked whether representatives of Mn/DOT have been present at
task force meetings. Mr. Slawson said they have been present.
Councilmember Kalligher inquired whether Mn/DOT representatives have been receptive
to suggestion five (a study by Mn/DOT). Mr. Slawson said the representatives from
Mn/DOT have been receptive to most of the committee's ideas but suggestion five
in
particular, is more of a Brooklyn Park situation due to the risk of losing State Aid. He said
there has been discussion on the issue, there has been knowledgeable representation from
Brooklyn Park, and Mn/DOT has been helpful. There appears to have been a reduction of
traffic roble
p ms and time will tell if it continues.
The City Manager asked Mr. Slawson whether it would be appropriate for the Council to
ask Staff to contact Brooklyn Park concerning joint cost and evaluation. Mr. Slawson agreed
J it should be a j oint request.
Q
Mayor Paulson said that approach would have the most impact in addressing the problem.
He asked Staff to work with Brooklyn Park In terms of suggestion five.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott to accept the six suggestions of the task force
regarding Humboldt Avenue improvements and to direct Staff to work with Brooklyn Park
in obtaining service from Mn/DOT. y
Councilmember Rosene asked whether the motion included the consideration of a
Neighborhood Speed Watch group, Councilmember Scott said it did since the Speed Watch
group is suggested in number four. p
Councilmembcr Kalligher seconded the motion.
Mayor Paulson thanked Mr. Slawson and the task force, commending them on a job well
done. Mr. Slawson noted the work is not yet completed
The motion passed unanimously.

The City Manager presented a Resolution Authorizing the Development of Feasibility
Reports for Proposed 1995 Neighborhood Street Improvement Projects.
7/25/94 _ 6 _
The Director of Public Services explained an authorization from Council is needed to begin
the process, which includes obtaining feasibility reports and involvement of the residents of
the neighborhoods. Most upcoming projects are associated with storm drainage concerns.
The Director of Public Services described the four projects for 1995 in general, and
mentioned two are established projects which are being carried over from 1994. The two
new projects which the resolution would establish are the Woodbine neighborhood and 57th
Avenue from Logan to Camden.
In regard to the Woodbine neighborhood, the Director of Public Services stated preliminary
indications show the project is supported by the residents.
The area of 57th Avenue has unique needs regarding storm drainage analysis and would best
be handled by an experienced consultant. A Request For Proposals (RFP) is requested to
obtain Phase II level analysis and design of improvements.
Councilmember Mann asked whether neighborhood meetings will involve discussion of the
30 percent assessment. The Director of Public Services said residents will be told the
existing policy is currently under review and could change. She added 30 percent is , an
average assessment.
Councilmember Mann asked whether continuation of a 30 ercent assessment
p over the 20-
year period would be sufficient. The Director of Public Services said it would depend on
the level of comfort the Council has with levying bonds or raising utility rates to make up
the difference.
Councilmember Mann asked if there would be continual levies over the 20 years. It was
confirmed there would be.
Councilmember Rosene asked whether there would be bonding every year, The Director
of Public Services said there would.
Councilmember Roscne commented that would result in considerable debt. The City
Manager agreed, but added it is normal for cities to carry that kind of debt. He said Staff
would suggest there be a review of the program after the preliminary work but before the
neighborhood meetings.
Councilmember Rosene commented it has been e shown it is essential for

7125194 < 7 -
Councilmember Rosene said after 20 years the roads will be in great shape, so what is being
done is making up and it is best to "bite the bullet" to get it done. 0
Councilmember Mann questioned whether, during the storm water management approval
process, there wasn't an understanding there would not be a review again soon. The City
Manager said this review falls under the Capitol Improvements Program. Indications now
are to maybe move back to special assessments so it will be presented. Staff could suggest
an assessment hearing and a project hearing at the same time. He added this is more work
at the beginning but time is saved at the end.
Councilmember Rosene questioned the wording of item 6 under the resolution, saying "shall
be mod'if'ied" should be "mU be modified."
The City Attorney said the language is a requirement of the Federal Treasury Regulations
on tax - exempt bonds. He said it allows minor technical defects to be handled without
Council involvement.
Councilmember Rosene stated it would then mean the City Manager would be making
modifications without consulting he Council. The City agreed,

Councilmember Scott asked whether Hennepin County had been notified of plans involving
57th Avenue. The Director of Public Services said Hennepin County approval will be
needed and contact has been made.
Councilmember Scott questioned whether Hennepin County knows the 3 ro'ect is scheduled
for 1995. The City Manager said it does. p
Mayor Paulson asked what the design options are for 57th Avenue. The Director of Public
Services said there is an opportunity to change the look of the area by reducing the amount
Of pavement. However, any change is contingent upon the storm drainage issue. Parking
and narrowing will be evaluated once storm drainage is assessed but it is early to even
discuss the issue.
Mayor Paulson questioned whether a third lane, for buses, is a consideration, The Director
of Public Services said there might not be enough room for such an option,
Mayor Paulson said he would like it to be studied in order to facilitate a transit hub. The
City Manager said it will be considered. He added
an id for or a '
bike
path under e the
line po wer
me
was discussed but it would depend on the storm sewer. The county road ends at
Humboldt and traffic numbers lower at that point so maybe two different designs can be
discussed. He said all these options could be added to the RFP.
Mayor Paulson suggested contacting the transit authorities. The City Manager said Staff is
meeting with Park and Ride officials.
7/25194 8
Councilmember Mann said she agrees the infrastructure of the roads needs work. However,
the assessment used to be 100 percent and is now 30 percent because total reconstruction
is not being done. She said the two resolutions are not realistic in terms of the funding
available from assessments. The Director of Public Services said it will be six to eig weeks
before neighborhood meetings are held. In the time before then Staff will return Council
with ideas.
Councilmember Rosene said his philosophy is to keep assessments low (30 percent may be
too high) and all residents receive benefit. He said with levies there will be cost year after
year, but it is better for a homeowner to a a small am
to p ay oun t earl t ha n
H invest Y Y to pay a large

Op
on this issue among Councilmembers,
Councilmember Mann asked Councilmember Rosene if he believes residents should have
to keep paying year after year. Councilmember Rosene reviewed that, on the 20 -year plan,
every street property will be assessed eventually and it is a question of whether the funding
will come from an assessment which is a l arge ar
ge amount of money in a short amount of time
or from me
a levy, which is small amounts of money over a long period of time. He said the '
number of dollars is the same either way,
Mayor Paulson asked whether it has been stated the average assessment is about $1,700,
The Director of Public Services said the average amount for an average house on an average
street is $1,550.
Mayor Paulson noted a 100 percent assessment would result in an amount of three times the
$1,550. The Director of Public Services noted some cities do assess at 100 percent.
The City Manager commented Brooklyn Park uses a 100 percent assessment. He added a
problem comes with demonstrating full value with streets which are only being maintained,
Y g e .
A 100
percent assessment "developing" t is usual.! used in
Y comm tie
being built. Again, the test of added value must be et, which is a od approach
is recommended.
The City Attorney stated ad valorem taxes are collected on the basis of property value.
Special assessment taxes must be based on the front footage or some other formula as
opposed to property value, Ad valorem taxes are an advantage because the are
on the federal level. SlsPCial ac.gP�grpent taxes 1 e Y deductible
commercial properties pay for their own improvements but don't help z h w residential
improvements.- Use of ad valorem taxes spreads the charge out between commercial and
residential properties. Therefore, there are advantages and disadvantages to each type of
taxing depending on location. There is no correct answer to the issue,
Mayor Paulson questioned whether benefit must be shown if the assessment is appealed.
The City Attorney said ad velorum taxes require no just'if'ication but special assessments are
7/3194 - 9 -
unconstitutional unless it can be shown there is a benefit of an increase to "fair market
value." Benefit is easy to demonstrate when a new street is built, but not when an e:dsting
street is rebuilt. 0
Councilmember Scott noted the issue is complicated and should be put on a work session
agenda- She then reviewed a consultant's comments last year concerning special
assessments. She noted special assessments can be paid off at any time but bonds go on and
on.
The City Manager said Council could pass the resolutions but direct Staff to not meet with
residents until a later date.
Mayor Paulson endorsed the City Manager's suggestion.

Dear Local Elected Leader: Executive Director
Donald J. Borut
I am writing on behalf of your Board of Directors to report on NLC's 1994 Action Agenda
and to ask for your immediate help in contacting your Congressional delegation on three
urgent issues: anti -crime legislation, anti - mandates legislation, and Senate telecommunications
legislation. We have made great progress on the first two priorities; we have not on the
third. Now we need a concerted effort to achieve success and make a difference.
Both the House and Senate have passed comprehensive anti -crime legislation, but the bills are
bogged down in a House - Senate conference. The Senate is prepared to take up the NLC-
supported Kemp thorne- Glenn mandate relief bill, and the House is ready to begin action-- -
action we did not dream possible only months ago. But the effort needs a push. The Senate
is ready to take up consideration of telecommunications legislation with a role for cities, but
our place is in jeopardy. So we must work closely together to ensure we can finish the job.
Congress faces many, many other issues, but it has less than 35 legislative days left before it
adjourns. I am asking you to join me in a campaign to push for positive action on all three
priorities before Congress leaves for its summer recess on August 12. Please use the
attached Action Alert to make this campaign effective.
Our efforts on our Action Agenda for 1994 have been effective, thanks to your support, so
far this year. But the final push requires us to focus and redouble our efforts to make a
difference. I am asking for your immediate action to ensure progress and victories to help
our cities and towns. It's up to us to act decisively.
Thank you for all you have done so far this year. Please let us know if we can count on
your delegation on these three issues.
Since ly,
Sharpe J es

Anti -Crime Le islation July 21, 1994
Background
Both the House and Senate have passed bills (HR 3355) that would provide funding for hiring up to 100,000
cops on the beat. The House bill includes a Local Partnership provision to provide direct block grant anti -crime
assistance to municipalities.
The House and Senate are now in a conference, attempting to work out the differences between their respective
versions. That conference is stalled. We must challenge our Representatives and Senators to take a stand, push
Conferees to reach closure, and send to the White House meaningful, yet balanced legislation immediately. Please
call your delegation members directly. Your help is critical.
5' Action
.W Urge your delegation to support flexibility in the use of the "Cops on the Beat" funds to cover overtime,
equipment, training, and other costs associated with hiring and rehiring additional law enforcement
personnel.
K�l Support direct, federal assistance for local health -, education -, and job - related prevention programs
through the House - passed Local Partnership Act (LPA),
9W Support the ban on nine specific assault weapons, and provisions to ensure applicants for a federal
firearms dealer license are in compliance with state and local laws.
5° Support Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) provisions to provide cities and towns the
flexibility to consider age in hiring and retirement policies with respect to public safety personnel.
Unfunded Federal Mandates
Background
After years of work alerting Congress, the press, and the general public to the effects of unfunded federal
mandates, the most critical time for lobbying efforts on this issue is now. It is crucial for you and your
colleagues to contact your delegation to urge enactment of the Federal Mandate Accountability and Reform Act
A0 (S.9931H.R.4771) in this session of Congress. The bill, sponsored by Sen. John Glenn (O -OH) and Sen, Oirk
I<empthorne (R -10), is ready for floor action in the Senate. H.R.4771, the House companion bill, has been
introduced in the House by House Government Operations Committee Chairman John Conyers (D -MI), Chairman
Edolphus Towns (D -NY), Rep. Thomas Barrett (D -WI), Rep. Donald Payne (D -NJ), and Rep. James Moran (D -VA).

Tel: (202) 626 -3000 Fax: (202) 626 -3043
5w Action
The most effective action you can take is to:
V31 Get your delegation members to co- sponsor these bills and commit to press for Congressional
action.
VN' Relay information to your Congressional delegation on how unfunded mandates undercut your
local government resources and rearrange local priorities.
gal Communicate that bipartisan support of these bills is essential to getting the bill to the White
House before this session adjourns. Any amendments that are partisan in nature will not be
supported by NLC or any of the other state and local government representative organizations.
Telecommunications
Background
Congress is now seriously considering legislation to construct a new telecommunications infrastructure - -the so-
called information superhighway. This infrastructure is the foundation which will enable the private sector to
begin building the information superhighway, which has been described as a vast electronic network capable of
delivering information, services, and entertainment to virtually everyone in your community.
The House has already passed and sent to the Senate HR 3636, the National Communications Competition and
Information Infrastructure Act of 1994. NLC opposes the House version, because it:
• does not require telephone companies that enter into cable programming to get a franchise
agreement.
• preempts local tax authority.
• narrows cable franchising authority.
In the Senate, NLC supports S. 1822, the Communications Act of 1994, sponsored by Sen. Ernest F. Hollings
(0 -SC), Chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, and Ranking Republican Sen.
John C. Danforth (R -MO). But, under enormous pressure from regional phone companies, the Senate Commerce,
Science and Transportation Committee is drafting a new version of S. 1822.
gw Action
It is very important to contact your Senate delegation and express the following three points:
5W Any new version of S. 1822 must allow local governments to negotiate franchise agreements
with telephone companies that provide video /cable services and programming.
gal Any new version of S. 1822 also must not preempt local tax authority.
Please ask your Senate delegation to keep in touch with you and with NLC staff as the bill moves
through the process, so that NLC can offer help to rally local government support for S. 1822.

October or November and setting up phone lines in an adjacent conference room with
staffing to answer incoming phone calls during the council meetings. Staff would then
record these requests or comments and forward them to the mayor during the regular city

RE: Brooklyn Center v. Leonard Martin
Dear Gerry and Brad:
j I enclose a draft of the resolution by which the nuisances and
building code violations at the property of Leonard Martin, 4746
Lakeview Avenue North, will be abated by resolution of the City
Council.
Mr. Martin is elderly and is non - responsive to all efforts to
induce or compel him to rectify these deficiencies. He has
appeared in Court on a number of occasions in response to the
criminal proceedings we have brought against him and although he
promises to bring the property into compliance, he simply
thereafter fails to take any action. I don't believe that the
noncompliance is malicious or defiant but more stems from his
personal inability to simply get things done.
Under Chapter 12 -1206, since there has been a failure to
comply with the Compliance Order, the City Council may cause the
deficiencies to be remedied without further notice to the owner or
occupant. Proceedings under Chapter 19 provide that the Council
may order the owner or occupant to abate the nuisances and if no
abatement takes place, may cause the nuisance to be abated
thereafter.
It is my opinion that the City may proceed under Chapter 12
with action to abate the nuisance without giving further notice to
Martin. He has been served with a number of Compliance Orders so
he is clearly aware that deficiencies exist and are required to be
corrected and I do not think any further notices from the City to
him will cause him to finally act. The violations under Chapter 19
are also violations under Chapter 12, so I believe that once the
City Council approves the resolution, the City staff can cause the
junk vehicles and other refuse to be hauled from the premises.
Mr. Gerald G. Splinter and Mr. Brad Hoffman
23 May 1994

I have directed Clay Larson and Dave Fisher to keep track of
their time so that all costs of this abatement including
administrative time, attorneys' fees and the like can be assessed.
Please review the resolution and let me know if you think any
changes are necessary.
Sincerely,
CARSON AND CLELLAND

Resolution with attachments which has been served upon Leonard

Recommended City Council Action:
Summary Explanation: (supporting documentation attached Yes )
The city managers of Brooklyn Center, Crystal, and Robbinsdale have met and discussed the possibility
of reviewing and looking into lake use on the Twin Lakes. All managers agreed that there may be
enough interest to at least look at and make recommendations to our various cities regarding how the
lake use might be monitored or restricted. The city manager's of Brooklyn Center, Crystal, and
Robbinsdale are now asking their respective councils to consider creating a joint task force regarding
the lakes. The managers' suggestion is that the task force be created with one person from each of the
respective cities police department, park and recreation director, one park commissioner, one lake
resident, and the chair of the task force to be appointed at large.
At the meeting of August 8, we ask the Brooklyn Center City Council to discuss this item. If the
Council is in agreement, we will move forward and recommend membership for creation of such task
force. Also attached for your information is a memo dated July 5, 1994, from Crystal City Manager
Jerry Dulgar regarding the task force and a letter dated July 23, 1994, which states Crystal's City
Council approved the concept at their July 19 meeting.

Memorandum
DATE: July 5, 1994
TO: City Councilmembers
FROM: Jerry Dulgar, City Manager
SUBJECT: Meeting Regarding Lake Use Task Puce
On June 30, 1994, Fran Hagen, City Manger of Robbinsdale,
Jerry Splinter, City Manager of Brooklyn Center, and I met
regarding our desire to look into lake use on the Twin Lakes
in the three cities: All three of us agreed that there was
enough interest to at least take a look at the lake use and
to possibly make recommendations to our various cities
regarding how that lake use might be monitored or
restricted.
The suggestion of the three City Managers was that we have a
task force appointed by the three City Councils to look into
use of the lakes in the three cities taking any steps we
might need to enhance and restrict. Our suggestion is that
a task force be created with one person from the police
department of each city; the Park & Recreation Director from
each city; one Park Commission Member from each city; one
lake resident from each city; and a chair of the task force
to be appointed at large.
It would also be our recommendation that this group be
appointed in the near future and begin to meet as soon as
possible. If necessary a facilitator could be appointed
early on to help this task force define their purpose, goals
and objectives and to define a certain date in the future
when this work schedule is to be completed.
If the Council concurs with these recommendations, I would
like to see the Council make the appointments as soon as
possible so we can forward information onto the other cities
for their action.

® Summary Explanation: (supporting documentation attached Yes
At the December 6, 1993, City Council meeting, the City Council approved the issuance of up to 5.4
million dollars in housing revenue bonds for the acquisition and rehabilitation of The Ponds multi - family
housing project. The issuance of these revenue bonds does not affect the debt capacity of the City of
Brooklyn Center.
Community Housing Development Corporation, the new owners of The Ponds, took ownership of the
112 unit townhouse project in January of 1994. The name of The Ponds has now formally been
changed to Unity Place. The project remains a project -based Section 8 development with 100% of the
units receiving rent subsidies through a contract with the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA)
and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As expressed in the 1993 revenue
bond proposal for this project, the new owners are in the process of converting the project to a
leasehold cooperative. The creation of the leasehold cooperative was part of the original plan proposed
by Community Housing Development Corporation when they requested revenue bonds for the project.
The leasehold cooperative approach to rental housing provides that the cooperative association and board
are comprised of residents of the project and that the members of the cooperative can materially
participate in the management of the property including establishing budgets, screening prospective
tenants, hiring and supervising a management agent and other day -to -day management functions. The
cooperative's participation in the management of the project is regulated by a lease between the owner
and the cooperative. There is recourse for the owner, and if the cooperative defaults on the lease the
• cooperative association can be dissolved.
Under state law, a leasehold cooperative also becomes eligible for the homestead tax classification,
contingent upon the City Council making certain findings regarding the project. The owner of Unity
Place has requested the homestead designation, contingent upon the City Council holding a public
Request For Council Consideration Page 2
• hearing and making certain findings regarding the project.
The findings the City Council must make in order to qualify the project for homestead classification are
as follows:
1. The granting of homestead treatment of the Unity Place units will facilitate safe, clean,
affordable housing for the cooperative members that would otherwise not be available absent the
homestead designation.
2. The owner has presented information satisfactory to the Council showing that the savings
garnered from the homestead designation of the units will be used to reduce tenants' rents or
provide a level of furnishing or maintenance not possible absent the designation.
3. The cooperative has a lease for occupancy of Unity Place for a term of at least 20 years, which
permits the cooperative, while not in default, to participate materially in the management of
Unity Place, including material participation in establishing budgets, setting rent levels, and
hiring and supervising a management agent.
4. A minimum of 40% of the cooperative members have incomes at or less than 60% of area
median gross income, as determined by the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development under Section 142(d)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
through December 31, 1991. For purposes of this finding, member income means the income
• of a member existing at the time the member becomes a member of the cooperative.
5. The owner of Unity Place has received public financing from the City of Brooklyn Center,
which issued multi- family housing revenue bonds on or about December 1, 1993, which bonds
are exempt from taxes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
through December 31, 1991, the proceeds of which were used for the acquisition of Unity Place.
The owner of Unity Place is receiving revenues pursuant to Section 8 of the United States
Housing Act of 1937.
The resolution before the City Council would authorize a public hearing to be held on September 12,
1994, regarding the findings listed above. If the above findings are made after holding the public
hearing, Unity Place would become eligible for homestead classification.
Prior to the public hearing on September 12, 1994, the owners of Unity Place will be submitting
information to the City so that the Brooklyn Center City Council can make a determination on the
required findings. Also, the owner and members of 'the cooperative board will be present at the
September 12 public hearing.
A staff report will also accompany the information presented by the owner regarding the findings.

Evergreen Land Services has negotiated a purchase agreement with the property owners of the four
plex at 4006 65th Avenue North, Greg and Diane Olson.
This agreement is based on a purchase price of $135,000. The value of the property as estimated
by the City's appraiser is $122,000. While the negotiated price is greater than the appraised value,
the property owners are willing to settle for this amount rather than go to condemnation. It is
staff's recommendation that the Council ratify the agreement. The date of closing has not yet been
established; one tenant is unsure as to a moving date. The City Attorney is working with
Evergreen, Conworth, Inc., and Public Services staff to review and finalize all details.
Previous Council Action
The Council on March 14, 1994, approved a resolution which provided for the negotiated purchase
of real property for projects 1992 -29 and 1993 -18. This resolution authorized the City Manager to
negotiate with the owners of the properties to be acquired for this project, and directed him to offer
to the owners the amount determined by appraisal and review appraisal. Such purchase agreements
are subject to approval and ratification by the City Council.

A resolution which rejects all bids for Improvement Project No. 1994 -25 is attached for consideration.

Summary Explanation: (supporting documentation attached )
On August 3, 1994, bids were received for Shingle Creek Bridge Repairs at Garden City Park and at
County Road 10 and Shingle Creek Parkway, Improvement Project No. 1994 -25, with the results as
follows:
Bidder Bid Amount
C. S. McCrossan $ 75,413.25
Jay Bros. , Inc. $ 80,124.50
ABHE & Svoboda, Inc. $156,810.00
The Engineer's Estimate for these improvements as reported to the Council at the June 13, 1994
meeting was $65,000.00. While two of the three bids submitted appear somewhat competitive, they
substantially exceed the Engineer's Estimate. The estimate was prepared with the benefit of a recent,
similar project (Pedestrian Bridge Repairs at the Golf Course), therefore we attribute the apparent
increase in costs due to biddin g when this work at a time wh most contractors are busiest. Because the
relative nature of this project is maintenance (as opposed to emergency), we recommend rejecting bids
submitted, and rebidding this work late this winter for completion in Spring of 1995.

Recommended City Council Action:
• A resolution which establishes the project, approves plans and specifications, and authorizes
advertisement for bids is attached for consideration.
Summary Explanation: (supporting documentation attached Yes )
The Capital Improvement Program for 1994 includes playground equipment upgrades for Willow Lane,
Lions, Orchard Lane, and Firehouse Parks. In addition, the completion of the surfacing for the
equipment at Central Park was carried over from last year, and is planned for this year. Because of
the coordination with ISD #279 that was necessary for improvements at Willow Lane Park, and the need
to work with a consultant, that project was handled separately and is currently under construction. The
remaining playground improvements are being combined into one project, with a total budget of
$130,000.
Staff proposes to use the same methodology for Lions, Orchard Lane and Firehouse parks as was
(successfully) utilized for the Willow Lane project. Namely, after input from the Park and Recreation
Commission, the contract documents identified acceptable types of equipment, minimum functional
requirements and budget constraints, but to a great extent, left the specifics of design and layout up to
the bidders. Prior to the release of the bid documents, staff will be meeting with resident
representatives of the affected neighborhoods to "fine- tune" the minimum specifications and identify
acceptable color combinations.
Because time is running out for improvements yet this construction season, it is imperative that the
• advertising and bidding process begin as soon as possible. As noted, staff will be working to obtain
citizen input prior to the release of the bidding documents. At this time, considering the bidding
process, delivery of selected equipment and actual construction, we hope to have the improvements in
these parks completed by mid - November.
