CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Council Meeting Date 02 -14 -93 Agenda Item Number O 02 Q/ REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: HUMBOLDT /73RD AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS DEPT. AP ROV ark Malo ey, ngineer MANAGERS REVIEW/RECOMMENDATION: No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached YES ) The City Council's directive to staff on 11/23/93 was "...to propose concrete proposals at a worksession • on January 31..." for the Council to consider at its regular meeting on February 14, 1994. We have developed the following two proposals, which were presented and discussed at the January 31, 1994 work session. Pertinent comments have been added to many of the components of the proposals. PROPOSALS Proposal No. 1 - A 'Build in 1994" Alternative If the City Council wishes to proceed with a "Build in 1994" alternative at this time, we recommend the following "package plan," which combines parts of several basic options: COMPONENT COMMENTS 1A.

Proposal No, 2 - An "Interim Action and Study" Alternative If the City Council does not wish to proceed on the basis of Proposal No. 1 (above), we recommend consideration of the following "Interim Action and Study" alternative: COMPONENT COMM 2A.

In cooperation with Brooklyn Park, create a special task force with representation from the residential areas of Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park, from businesses, staff and /or Council members from the cities of Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park and, and Mn/DOT. Charge that task force with the responsibility to evaluate needed studies, and conduct public meetings as necessary to develop a comprehensive transportation plan for the area of Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park between West River Road and Zane Avenue, from 69th Avenue to Brookdale Drive (or 85th Avenue). Direct that task force to develop and submit their plan within some specified time limit, so that implementation of the plan may then begin. TOTAL ESTIMATED COST, PROPOSAL No. 2: $182,000 (Includes $150,000 for signal systems.) -4- PROCEDURAL CONSIDERATIONS Special Assessments Note This section applies only if the Council is considering a "build" option. The 10 -step building block process originally approved by the City Council for these improvements and all other street improvements under consideration for 1994 contemplated that all proceedings would be conducted in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. Under this process special assessments could be levied against benefitted properties on the basis of the City's established special assessment policy. For improvements constructed in 1994, the special assessments to single - family homes would be $1,550 unless a different rate were established by the City Council. The Council's choices regarding special assessments at this time include the following: Special Assessment Option 1: Pe p Proceed on the basis of the established special assessment policy which assumes an assessment rate of $1,550 per single - family residence or at a different rate established by the City Council. Special Assessment Option 2: is Proceed without specifying the proposed assessment rate at this time. Note M.S. 429 does not require the City to commit itself to an assessment rate at this time. Under that law, the City Council could defer making a commitment until a later date. However, if the intent is to finance the costs for roadway improvements by selling a bond issue without referendum approval, the City must commit itself to levying special assessments covering at least 20% of the costs of the roadway improvement. It is also noted that the City has historically committed itself to a special assessment rate prior to the official public hearing, because that issue is normally a major concern of the property owners. Special Assessment Option 3: Adopt a new policy whereby no special assessments would be levied against any single - family property abutting any portion of Humboldt Avenue or 73rd Avenue where on- street parking would be prohibited following completion of the improvement, but leaving intact the existing policy of levying a $1,550 assessment against single - family properties abutting those sections where parking is permitted. Note 1 : Very preliminary discussions with an independent appraiser have indicated that, if a roadway improvement eliminates on- street parking for residential properties, it is unlikely that "full rate" special assessments could be sustained, and it would be difficult to predict what rate of assessment could be sustained without a very detailed analysis. -5- Note 2 : This option would result in reducing the total assessments to less than 20% of the roadway costs, thereby eliminating the ability to sell bonds to cover the costs of roadway improvements without referendum approval. Special Assessment Option 4: Commit to levying no special assessments. If the Council chooses this option, then all the costs of the improvement(s) would be funded from some combination of other City funds. Process for Future Consideration of these Improvements As noted above, the 10 -step Building Block process originally approved by the City Council contemplated that improvements would be made and financed pursuant to M.S. 429. It is noted that Steps 3, 5, and 7 of that process are not required by law. Rather, they were included to assure greater opportunities for public participation in the process. At this time, the Humboldt Avenue and 73rd Avenue projects are at "Step 5" of the Building Block process. The remaining steps of the Building Block process need to be followed, or modified, depending on the alternative(s) selected by the Council, i.e.: Process Option 1 If the City Council wishes to proceed with consideration of a "Build Option" and levying any special assessments, it is necessary that the procedures required by M.S. Chapter 429 be followed. Accordingly, Steps 6 and 9 would be mandated; while Step 8 is optional under the law. If the roadway(s) are built to state aid standards (30 feet on Humboldt, 26, 34 or 42 feet on 73rd), then regular state aid funds may be used to finance the project(s), whether or not special assessments will be considered. If the roadway(s) are not built to state aid standards, then the Council should take into account the following: • The fund sources available to finance improvements would be local state aid, public utilities, and special assessments. • Bond funds could be used if a) at least 20% of the cost was specially assessed or b) a bond issue was approved by referendum vote. • The estimated 1/1/94 balance in the Local State Aid fund is $2.75 million. About $1 million in trail /sidewalk/local street improvements are programmed in the CIP over the next few years. This does not include any of the costs of the Brooklyn Boulevard improvements planned for the coming years. In deciding the extent to which this fund could be used for Humboldt /73rd Avenue improvements, the Council should bear in mind that this is the ONLY source of funds outside the general tax levy available for trail /sidewalk/local street improvements. -6- Process Option 2 If the City Council wishes to proceed with consideration of a "Build Option" without levying any special assessments, no additional opportunities for public participation are required by law. The City Council could order improvements by the adoption of a resolution defining the elements of those improvements and specifying the funding sources. Such a resolution could be adopted by a simple majority vote of the City Council. Funding sources available to finance improvements under this option are regular state aid, local state aid, and public utility funds. Under this option, the question of whether or not to follow any or all of the remaining steps of the Building Block process is a matter for the City Council to decide. Process Option 3 If the City Council wishes to proceed with an "Interim Action and Study" alternative, that decision could be made by the adoption of a resolution defining the elements of that alternative and specifying funding sources (if any cost elements are included). Such a resolution could be adopted by a simply majority vote of the City Council. Under this option, the question of whether or not to follow any or all of the remaining steps of the Building Block process is a matter for the City Council to decide. -7- RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION Step 1: Discuss Step 2: Select an alternate for each street (i.e. —for Humboldt Avenue and for 73rd Avenue *): ✓ staff proposal No. 1 - the "Build in 1994" alternative, either as is or with modifications. or ✓ staff proposal No. 2 - the "Interim Action and Study" alternative, either as is or with modifications. or ✓ some other alternate. Step 3A: If a "Build In 1994" alternative is selected for Humboldt Avenue, for 73rd Avenue,* or for both, make decisions regarding use of special assessments and financing sources, i.e.: ✓ If the Council elects to continue consideration of special assessments, adopt the Option 1 resolution(s) as attached, or with amendments. This resolution would accept the City Engineer's feasibility report and call for a public hearing to be held on March 14 ... in addition to incorporating the various elements of the selected alternative. Then, by motion, the City Council may wish to direct staff to conduct an informational meeting (Step 7) and /or send individual petitions to all property owners. ✓ If the Council elects a "Build in 1994" alternative but to do so without charging any special assessments, the Council can do so by adopting the Option 2 resolution(s) as attached, or with amendments. Alternatively, the Council may wish to follow some or all of the remaining steps in the Building Block process. If so, the Council may wish to simply adopt a motion which: (1) describes the alternative which it selects for future consideration; (2) describes Council's decision to levy no special assessments; (3) directs staff regarding Steps 7 and 8 of the Building Block process; and (4) sets the date for a public hearing to be held (Step 9). Step 3B: If an "Interim Action and Study" alternative is selected for Humboldt Avenue, for 73rd Avenue *, or for both, the Council can do so by adopting the Option 3 resolution(s) as attached, or with amendments. Alternatively, the Council may wish to follow some or all of the remaining steps in the Building Block process. If so, the Council may wish to simply adopt a motion which: (1) describes the alternative which it selects for future consideration; (2) describes Council's decision to levy no special assessments; (3) directs staff regarding Steps 7 and 8 of the Building Block process; and (4) sets the date for a public hearing to be held (Step 9). * Note : Any decision regarding 73rd Avenue is subject to development of the appropriate cooperative agreement with the City of Brooklyn Park. -8- "BUILDING BLOCK" PROCESS OUTLINE FOR PROPOSED 1994 STREET IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM -10- Construction (if ordered by) City Council following Public Hearing) -8- -9- Individual Public Hearing Petitions by Following City Council Informational Meetings & (Citizen's fifth Mailings opportunity (Authorized by for City Council) participation) -4- -5- -6- -7- Field Surveys Studies Staff Complete • TV sewers Worksessions Feasibility Informational • Inspect with Report Meetings watermains Citizens & • other (continued Initiate Plans (conducted by (Authorized by discussion) and City Staff) City Council) Specifications -1- -2- -3- Preliminary Studies Preliminary Meeting with Property Owners Selection of • Costs - (by staff) • need for project - ?- Candidate • Benefits • related improvements Projects (by independent • design issues (by City Council) appraiser) • costs, special • Financing (by City staff) assessments • others (by staff) CITY 6301 SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA 55430 BROOKLYN TELEPHONE: 569 -3300 C ENTER FAX: 569 -3494 EMERGENCY - POLICE - FIRE 911 ENGINEER'S FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR HUMBOLDT AVENUE NORTH ROADWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS 1994 -05, 1994 -19, 1994 -20 and 1994 -21 Pursuant to the City Council's 11/23/93 directive, staff developed a proposal for a "Build in 1994" alternative for improvements to Humboldt Avenue North, from 65th to 73rd Avenues. The total cost of the roadway improvements for Humboldt Avenue which were described in a report to the Council at their 01/31/94 Work Session above is estimated as $840,000. These improvements would include the reconstruction of Humboldt Avenue from 65th to 69th Avenues as a wide landscaped median parkway (Improvement Project No. 1994 -20), the reconstruction of Humboldt Avenue from 69th to 73rd Avenues as a 26 or 30 foot wide two -lane road (Improvement Project No. 1994 -05), and the construction of traffic signals at the intersections of Humboldt Avenue with 69th and 73rd Avenues (Improvement Projects No. 1994 -19 and 1994 - 21). Roadway project costs could be financed by a combination of Regular and Local State Aid Funds. If special assessments in an amount equalling at least 20% of the project costs are levied against benefitting properties, then a portion of, or all of the project costs, including the amounts specially assessed can be financed by the sale of a bond issue, providing proceedings are completed in full compliance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. If special assessments are levied, they will be levied against the abutting properties as shown on Exhibit A attached. The improvements described herein are feasible under the conditions outlined and at the costs estimated. Whether they can best be made either independently, or in connection with other improvements will depend on the City's ability to coordinate the various improvements. In either event, these improvements and the related utility improvements contemplated under Improvement Project No. 1994 -06 can best be made under a single contract. 1 �1 4 ;47_ Mark J. Mal ne , .E.

The total cost of Brooklyn Center's share for roadway improvements for 73rd Avenue which were described in a report to the Council at their 01/31/94 Work Session above is estimated as $155,000. These improvements would include the reconstruction of 73rd Avenue from T.H. 252 to Humboldt Avenue to a narrower width than the existing roadway (26'), except where on- street parking is requested (Improvement Project No. 1994 -07), and the construction of a traffic signal at the intersections of Humboldt Avenue with 73rd Avenue (Improvement Project No. 1994 -19).

Splinter, City Manager MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECONSIEENDATION: Q %... _; ., 'f'',_• �' �' a No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SLAIlVIARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached ) At your last City Council meeting, the Council discussed the staff recommendation for criteria in judging and pairing down the list of candidate law firms for appointment as City Attorney. At that time, with Councilmember Rosene absent, you conducted a vote on preferences and that ranking is as follows (the first firm receiving the most and the last firm receiving the least number of votes): Holmes and Graven; Carson and Clelland and Lang, Pauly & Gregerson, Ltd. tied for second; Barna Guzy third; and Bannigan and Popham and Haik tied for last. At the writing of this memorandum, Councilmember Rosene has not submitted his ranking, and I will update the ranking as soon as I receive that information from Councilmember Rosene. For your information I have attached the staff report you received at your February 7, 1994, Council meeting. RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION Staff recommends the City Council select three to four firms to proceed to the next step of the evaluation process. The next step would be for the City staff committee to review and interview the qualifications of the three to four firms selected by the City Council and rank those firms, submit a report to the City Council and the second and final stage would be for the City Council to interview the final three to four firms and make a choice. • CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER' council Meeting Date February 7. 1991 Agenda Item Number 1 5 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: PROCESS OF REVIEW OF CITY ATTORNEY REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS (RFP'S) DEPT. APPROVAL: l Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECOMIVIENDATION: No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached ) In response to your request to gather Requests for Proposals (RFP's) for city attorney, the following list of proposers have been determined by staff to meet the essential requirements as presented in the RFP's. We have received 13 RFP's which meet these requirements. In order to screen them further, the staff used two additional criteria: the firm's proposed hourly rate and the percentage of municipal and civil law that comprises the law firm's legal activities as determined by their billings for 1992. We established an hourly rate criteria of $100 per hour or less. This cut the list of proposals from 13 to eight. The next criterion applied required the remaining law firms to have at least 20 percent of their legal work- in municipal and civil law. This evaluation process then produced the resultant five law firms: 1. Bannigan and Kelly, P.A., St. Paul 2. Carson and Clelland, Minneapolis 3. Holmes and Graven, Chartered, Minneapolis 4. Lang, Pauly and Gregerson, Ltd., Minneapolis 5. Sweeney, Borer and Ostrow, St. Paul We may also further limit the firms to be interviewed and considered to just those firms practicing in Hennepin County. This criteria could be used because most of our legal activity is with Hennepin County courts; and generally, firms in Hennepin County have greater contact with Hennepin County courts, plus their offices are closer to Brooklyn Center than the others. Using this criteria would leave three firms: Carson and Clelland; Holmes and Graven, Chartered: and Lang. Pauly and G"egerson, Ltd., for further consideration. RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION i oun " City Council establish the number of firms for final consideration, and your staff committee will interview and give you a prioritized final listing prior to the City Council conducting their interviews of the finalist. s � s LAW FIRMS SUBMIT ING RFP's REPRESENTATION HISTORY PRIMARY A - M /STAFF HOURLY RATEXHARGES Bannigan & Kelly, PA Maplewood, Vadnais Heights, Tay James Manton PrimaryAtty: $100/HR 1750 North Central Life Tower White Bear Lake, Grey Cloud Island Twnshp., Oakdale, Municip rate: $75 or 82/1 445 Minnesota Street Falcon I leights, North St. Paul, Roseville, Forest Lake, Assoc.
