The motion passed unanimously. ORDINANCE AN ORDINANCE VACATING A PORTION OF AN EASEMENT ON LOT 31 BLOCK 6, PEARSON'S NORTHPORT 3RD ADDITION The City Manager explained at its regular meeting of January 25, 1993, the City Council directed staff to prepare an ordinance for the vacation of a portion of a utility easement in Pearson's Northport 3rd Addition. He said this easement vacation was requested by Mr. Paul Benson, who is the resident of the property affected by the existing easement. He further explained the proposed action is to vacate only that portion of the City's easement which was currently encroached upon by Mr. Benson's garage. He further stated Mr. Benson has agreed to enter into an agreement with the City which provides for indemnification of the City in the event of property damage due to emergency repair to the City's existing sanitary sewer. Councilmember Rosene stated he felt the City should take the responsibility for this encroachment. Councilmember Scott asked how long the Council could table action on this ordinance. The City Attorney answered it could be tabled indefinitely; however, he recommended the Council specify a date. Paul Benson, 5817 Pearson Drive, addressed the Council stating he felt the encroachment was the result of a clerical error by the City, and the City should assume the responsibility. He stated he was not satisfied with the agreement and asked if the City was willing to vacate the easement and live with its error. He asked the City Attorney if he would advise him to settle for this. The City Attorney declined to give Mr. Benson legal advise. Councilmember Rosene agreed with Mr. Benson; however, he did not want Mr. Benson, or r any future owner of the property, to be allowed to replace the garage if it was destroyed by a natural disaster. He suggested an agreement be worked out by which the City would agree to repair the garage if destroyed at the fault of the City, but if the garage deteriorates or is destroyed by nature, the new garage could not be placed on the easement. He explained he was not in favor of vacating the easement entirely. The City Attorney explained it would be very hard to define whether the garage had been naturally destroyed. He said there would still be a concrete slab which would not be destroyed and upon which the next garage would likely be built. He added there is no legal reason why the City cannot take the action Mr. Benson has requested. 2/8/93 -4- k The City Manager explained there is an encroachment on the other side of the property as well, making it almost impossible for the City to get to the pipe without damaging the garage. Councilmember Scott explained a similar situation had occurred at her property. She stated this was just one of those things that happen, which doesn't make anyone happy, but it does happen. i r There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Rosene to t approve for first reading An Ordinance Vacating a Portion of An Easement on Lot 31, Block 6, Pearson's Northport 3rd Addition and setting a public hearing date of March 8, 1993, at 7 p.m. The motion passed unanimously. a The City Attorney suggested the Council give staff further direction in this matter. He asked if Council wanted to proceed with execution of the indemnification agreement or if Council was asking for the vacation of the easement. Councilmember Rosene asked if it was possible for the City to assume the cost if the City damages the garage without approving the vacation of the easement. The City Manager stated this was not the problem. He explained the problem was the property owner cannot secure financing on his property with this easement. Councilmember Rosene explained if the garage were ever torn down, he would like the easement restored. Councilmember Scott asked Mr. Benson if he would agree to sign a document stating if the garage were ever destroyed due to causes other than the City, he would dedicate the easement to the City and place the new garage away from the easement. Mr. Benson answered yes, he would agree to such a document. iF The City Attorney explained the title company might not accept such a document. After discussion, Councilmember Rosene stated he felt it would be best for the City to ` vacate this easement and let the future take care of itself. He suggested the Council simply go forward with the second reading of the Ordinance at the next Council meeting and not worry about any added agreements. There was a motion by Councilmember Rosene and seconded by Councilmember Scott to adopt a policy in this case of not giving any further direction. The motion passed unanimously. 2/8/93 -5 - i CORRECTION RESOLUTIONS (CONTINUED) The City Manager presented a Resolution Amending the 1993 Budget and Authorizing the Transferring of Funds from Domestic Intervention, 4428, to Activating a Canine Program. He explained the proposed joint powers organization, Project P.E.A.C.E. (Protect, Educate, Advocate, Comfort, Empower), includes the cities of Brooklyn Center, Champlin, Maple Grove, and Robbinsdale. He said Project P.E.A.C.E. intends to contract with Brooklyn Peacemaker Center for the administration of domestic intervention services. He further stated Council has allocated $30,000 for domestic intervention in the 1993 budget. He continued to explain the City of Maple Grove expressed an interest after the 1993 budget was prepared which would significantly lower Brooklyn Center's share of the cost. He said based on the proposed joint powers organization, the 1993 cost for domestic intervention is $17,000. The Chief of Police explained the Brooklyn Center Police Department was requesting that $8,705 of the remaining $13,000 be allocated to a canine program. He said the canine would sniff for drugs, track suspects after commission of crimes and search open areas and buildings for evidence or suspects. He further explained the canine program would enhance community relations through crime prevention programs, civic organizations, and recreation centers. He stated the program would also allow Brooklyn Center to participate with other communities in an effort to provide canine services to include other suburban municipalities. Councilmember Scott asked what type of dog would be used. The Chief of Police answered a Belgian Malinois. Councilmember Scott asked where the dog and officer would go for training. The Chief of Police replied he had been speaking to police departments in Chicago and in Michigan, and the training will last approximately three weeks. Councilmember Mann asked how the canine program cost estimates compared to the cost of the past canine programs. The Chief of Police answered the cost estimates provided Council were the worst case scenario. He stated he did not believe the police department would need all of this and added some community groups had expressed an interest in supporting this effort. He explained the training would be more expensive because he was requesting the dog be street- trained in order to be able to use it to secure buildings and many other functions not possible when using a lessor - trained dog. Councilmember Rosene asked how the Chief of Police proposed to provide a dog 24 -hours a day when the City would only be purchasing one dog. The Chief of Police answered the City wants to coordinate the canine program with other communities in the area so that a dog would be available 24 -hours a day. Councilmember Kalligher asked if the breed of dog the Chief of Police was requesting would be different from the dogs in other communities. The Chief of Police responded affirmatively and added the Brooklyn Center Police Department would be responsible for the reliability of its dog if used in another community, and he would feel safer with the training this dog would receive. 2/8/93 -6- Councilmember Kalligher questioned how the police department planned to provide for the 'f care of the dog on the officer's day off. The Chief of Police answered the union contract f provides funds to pay the handlers for taking care of the dog on their day off. Councilmember Rosene stated it was not possible to provide funding for additional police officers in the 1993 budget, and this would be the next best thing. a RESOLUTION NO. 93 -21 Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: f RESOLUTION AMENDING THE 1993 BUDGET AND AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFERRING OF FUNDS FROM DOMESTIC INTERVENTION, 4428, TO ACTIVATING A CANINE PROGRAM The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Barb Kalligher, and the motion passed unanimously. The City Manager presented a Resolution Amending the 1993 Pay. Plan to Implement Restructuring of the Police Department Management. He explained in December 1991 the City Council considered restructuring the police department by looking at middle management positions and compressing duties downward. He added on July 27, 1992, the City Council approved a resolution amending the 1992 pay plan to implement the elimination of one captain's position and add one lieutenant's position. He said it was the City Manager's recommendation and the City Council concurred that since the change would result in the reorganization of the police department, the final decision be made by the incoming Chief of Police. The Chief of Police used an overhead slide to show the restructuring of the police department. He recommended the elimination of one lieutenant position and one police officer (investigative) position and the addition of two sergeant positions. The City Manager pointed out the salaries are an estimate, as they are subject to negotiation by the bargaining unit. Councilmember Mann asked if the restructuring would result in the removal of any officers from patrolling the streets. The Chief of Police answered no, this would not reduce the ' number of police officers patrolling the streets. Councilmember Rosene verified there would not be. an actual addition of personnel in the police department. Councilmember Kalligher asked if the administrative services sergeant would report directly to the Chief of Police. The Chief of Police answered yes, and in his absence the sergeant would report to one of the captains. Councilmember Scott asked if the Chief of Police would be retesting for the sergeant positions. The Chief of Police answered yes, the sergeant positions would be open to all in the police department with over three years of service with Brooklyn Center. 2/8/93 -7- Councilmember Rosene stated he liked the idea of combining the D.A.R.E. and crime prevention programs under one sergeant. He suggested the Council give the Chief of Police ' the benefit of the doubt and vote in favor of this resolution. The Chief of Police reminded Council the police department still needs additional patrol force. He explained the officers were handling a significant workload and additional patrol officers are needed. i Fred Moen, President of local association and local union, informed Council the union had , held a meeting today to discuss the restructuring of the Police Department. He reported the union was very concerned the promotion of two officers to sergeant positions would further eliminate the amount of patrol officers on the streets. He reiterated the need for more patrol officers and explained the patrol force was at a minimum on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights and officers had a difficult time taking time off for vacation. He further explained the union was not against promotional opportunities; however, it would suggest the Council delay action until the 1994 budget is prepared allowing for a request for manpower to replace the promotional positions. The Mayor asked how the bargaining issue would be handled. The City Manager answered the City has the right to create a position, and the union has the right to bargain the salary. E The Chief of Police reiterated all of the officers having three years of service in the Brooklyn Center Police Department are eligible to compete for these positions; once they are filled, it is negotiated between the City Manager, the Council, and the union to determine compensation. The City Manager agreed the Council has the authority to establish the position, and the City must negotiate how it is paid. Mr. Moen expressed concern the Police Department would be losing two patrol officers who are currently on the street. He reminded Council of the need for more manpower and recommended waiting until another budget period when these positions could be replaced. The Chief of Police explained two patrol positions had recently been added in advance of the implementation of the restructuring of the Police Department. He stated the department must maximize the use of its existing resources. Mr. Moen stated as a representative of the union, it does not disagree with the management changes; it disagrees with the order -- first replace the patrol officers. He explained the citizens of Brooklyn Center want more police officers on the street. Councilmember Rosene stated there would be no added personnel in the police department F in 1993; it would be a matter of how the department is restructured. He asked if the two sergeant positions would be mainly administrative. The Chief of Police answered one position would be administrative, and the other position involved many operational activities. 2/8/93 -8 - Councilmember Kalligher asked Mr. Moen if he would be more comfortable if these positions would be more active on the street. Mr. Moen stated that would be a management decision. The Chief of Police answered the supervisor would be available to the officers on F serious calls whether he is the chief, captain, or sergeant. Councilmember Kalligher agreed that the citizens of Brooklyn Center would like to see more officers on the street, not more management. The Chief of police explained he was decreasing management with his proposal and increasing uniformed sergeant time on the street. f Councilmember Rosene agreed the Chief of Police was actually decreasing management with t. the elimination of the lieutenant's position. He also agreed the City needed more patrol officers, but there were no funds in the budget for additional patrol officers. He stated with all of the choices presented, the Chief's restructuring proposal was the best. Mike Kaulfuss, member of the Brooklyn Center Police Department, addressed the Council stating he had previously tested for the investigative lieutenant position and had finished number one and was told he was the candidate for the position. He explained Captain Downer had offered the position to him with the starting date to be December 1, 1992. He stated the position has never materialized, and Chief Hampton had explained to him the position he had tested for was no longer available in the restructuring. He explained he has been a loyal employee, and he should have been given more consideration. RECESS The Brooklyn Center City Council recessed at 8:50 p.m. and reconvened at 9:05 p.m. Councilmember Scott agreed everyone would like to see more police officers added to the budget, but the money was not there for 1993. She added when the Council looks at next year's budget, it will have to look at providing more police officers. She stated the police officers do an excellent job and they need to be able to take their vacations, and Council will have to find money to add officers to the patrol. Mayor Paulson stated the Council had benefitted greatly from the discussion, and it is a priority of the Council and the citizens to provide more patrol officers. He felt the Council will have tight fiscal times, but the Council must find the resources to fund additional patrol officers in 1994. He explained the restructuring of the police department proposed by the Chief of Police has an emphasis toward compression of duties and involving the sergeants in the patrol duties. He agreed with the restructuring proposal because it would condense some of the duties, give the City the opportunity to provide officers in the future, and it lessens the middle level of management. He stated the Council must make a commitment 3 to find a way to fund additional officers in the next budget year. He also asked that the patrol sergeants get involved in the patrol and administrative duties and move these positions through the bargaining process as soon as possible. 2/8/93 - 9 - 4 Councilmember Mann concurred with Mayor Paulson and stated she was in favor of the restructuring of the police department. RESOLUTION NO. 93 -22 Member Kristen Mann introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: a RESOLUTION AMENDING THE 1993 PAY PLAN TO IMPLEMENT RESTRUCTURING OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT MANAGEMENT s The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Dave Rosene, and the motion passed unanimously. There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Kalligher that this City Council consider adding additional police officers to the patrol in 1994. Mr. Moen and the Chief of Police concurred with the addition of patrol officers. The motion passed unanimously. The City Manager presented a Resolution Approving Amendments to the Project P.E.A.C.E. Joint Powers Agreement, Its Proposed Budget, and Its Contract for Domestic Intervention Services. He explained staff was requesting the Council consider and approve the formation of a joint powers organization, Project P.E.A.C.E. (Protect, Educate, Advocate, Comfort, Empower), with the cities of Champlin, Maple Grove, and Robbinsdale, in order to provide services to victims of domestic abuse. The Chief of Police submitted to Council an alternative resolution which would add: BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution is contingent upon the joint powers organization contracting Project P.E.A.C.E. through North Hennepin Mediation Project for the remainder of the 1993 calendar year. Mayor Paulson stated he had heard good things about Project P.E.A.C.E. Councilmember Scott questioned why the Council would dictate who the project would contract with. Lisa Growette, Coordinator for Project P.E.A.C.E., stated she was an advocate for a quality project working to protect the lives of women and children in Brooklyn Center who are battered physically and emotionally. Mayor Paulson thanked Ms. Growette for her good work. Councilmember Rosene agreed with Mayor Paulson and recommended a round of applause for the good work of Project P.E.A.C.E. F 2/8/93 - 10- RESOLUTION NO. 93 -23 Member Dave Rosene introduced the following resolution with the recommended changes and moved its adoption: {' RESOLUTION APPROVING AMENDMENTS TO THE PROJECT P.E.A.C.E. JOINT 4 POWERS AGREEMENT, ITS PROPOSED BUDGET, AND ITS CONTRACT FOR DOMESTIC INTERVENTION SERVICES WITH NORTH HENNEPIN MEDIATION t PROJECT The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution with the recommended changes was duly seconded by Mayor Todd Paulson, and the motion passed unanimously. E. DISCUSSION ITEMS PROPOSED ETHICS BOARD The City Manager presented the proposed ethics board. He explained the City Council had directed staff to research the subject of ethics boards. He said staff researched a number of sources and had provided Council with various documents from these sources. He further r explained there are very few local ethics boards. He suggested the City Council consider the following questions: 1. Who would decide what situations or subjects the board would consider. 2. Who would be able to bring issues before the board (city council, citizens, and /or board self initiated)? 3. Should the subjects of board review be only legal conflicts of interest or issues which have the "appearance of conflict of interest ?" 4. Who would appoint board members? 5. Who would be eligible to serve on the board? 6. How would our current policy be affected? Councilmember Scott concluded after reviewing the materials provided, an ethics board could cause more problems than good. She suggested the Council adopt the League of Minnesota Cities Official Conflict of Interest. Councilmember Mann asked the City Attorney if the City had an ethics board in place and it found someone guilty of an ethics violation, would the City have any recourse. The City Attorney answered no, the ethics board could not be given the authority to remove someone from office. He explained the function of an ethics board would be advisory. j d 2/8/93 - i i Councilmember Rosene congratulated Councilmember Scott on reading all the materials provided by staff. He stated it was his impression this sort of board would just give advisory opinions, and he did see value in that. He suggested a membership of about five people that would meet when called upon by a citizen, staff, or the Council. He added it would be important to appoint people who do not have a political association and who are known to be fair. Councilmember Kalligher asked Councilmember Rosene if he was indicating the ethics board would come to a conclusion. Councilmember Rosene answered not in every case. Councilmember Kalligher asked what would be accomplished then if a violation was found by the board. Councilmember Rosene stated the Council would then hand down the opinion of the board and possibly publish it in the newspaper. Mayor Paulson suggested the board could provide a recommendation and then the Council or whoever is given the authority could act on it. He further suggested the Council review the materials for a later discussion, possibly at a work session, and then the City Manager, City Attorney, and Council could discuss the creation of an ethics commission, ethics codes, or both. The City Attorney agreed the Council should review the provided materials in depth and further discuss the materials at a future work session. Councilmember Scott agreed there was a need for a more comprehensive ethics policy, but she was concerned with creating a board. She asked how would the Council empower and would the Council be giving authority to a board that should have been handled by the Council. She suggested Council adopt an ethical conduct code that the Council would take an oath to live by. Mayor Paulson stated the main reason for looking into an ethical board was to provide a way for someone to clear a cloud that was placed on their character. Councilmember Scott recommended the Councilmembers read the materials provided by staff more thoroughly and discuss at a Council work session. r i There was a motion by Councilmember Kalligher and seconded by Councilmember Rosene to discuss the proposed ethics board at a Council work session after reading the materials provided by staff. The motion passed unanimously. LEGISLATIVE REPORT The City Manager presented the legislative report for discussion by the City Council. Councilmember Scott thanked the City Manager for updating the Council on the legislative efforts. REQUEST TO ATTEND THE NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES CONGRESSIONAL 2/8/93 -12- U t CITY CONFERENCE The City Manager presented the request to attend the National League of Cities Congressional City Conference. He explained Councilmember Mann has requested to attend the conference in Washington, D.C. on March 5 -9, 1993. A cost estimate for registration, airfare, lodging, and meals was provided. t Councilmember Kalligher stated she had a problem with using one -half of the 1993 budget money for City Council training and conferences on one conference. Councilmember Mann explained the reasons why she or another member of the Council should attend the conference. She stated many of the subjects on the agenda were directly related to subjects the Council was currently discussing. She suggested whenever a Councilmember attends a conference, the member should provide a full report to the Council. t Mayor Paulson suggested Council discuss conference attendance and develop policies for future meetings. Councilmember Scott asked Councilmember Mann if she would be willing to pay some of the cost herself. She thought it was a very worthwhile conference and wanted someone to attend and report back to the Council. Councilmember Mann offered to pay one -half of the lodging expense. Councilmember Rosene thought this was a very generous offer by Councilmember Mann. r He suggested it should be standard operating procedure whenever any one of the Councilmembers attends a conference, the member provide a report to the Council. Mayor Paulson suggested Council develop a policy to address conference attendance and look at conference attendance later in the year. Councilmember Mann agreed with Mayor Paulson. PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND TEAM BUILDING SESSION The City Manager presented the performance review and team building session. Mayor Paulson reported he was in favor of using a performance review system developed by Personnel Decisions, Inc. He explained the performance review system had the potential to provide team - building between the Council and the staff. Councilmember Scott agreed with Mayor Paulson and suggested the City use a professional service such as Personnel Decisions, Inc. 2/8/93 - 13- There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Rosene to direct staff to prepare a resolution to enter into contract for services with Personnel Decisions, Inc. for performance review evaluation not to exceed $1,200.
