There was no one else who wished to address the Council, and he continued with the regular agenda items. COUNCIL REPORTS Mayor Paulson announced that residents Jane Walker and Theodore Anderson were local winners of the Hennepin Recycling Contest. Mayor Paulson urged the Council to consider increasing their number of meetings per month from two to four. He noted the regular meetings frequently ran late and making decisions at a late hour became difficult. He felt thorough public discussion of items was important. The existing policy of excused absences and occasionally canceling meetings would still be in effect. Councilmember Pedlar concurred with his remarks and suggested the Council look at nearby cities to see how they handled the matter. 7/22/91 - 1 - Councilmember Cohen suggested one of the four meetings be set aside as a work session for the Council. The Council concurred to discuss the matter at a later date.

PUBLIC INFORMATIONAL HEARING REGARDING DESIGN OF THE 69TH AVENUE NORTH/INDIANA AVENUE NORTH INTERSECTION The City Manager reviewed the staff report on this item, and the Director of Public Works presented slides of the various proposed alternative layouts. Alternate 1: Cul -de -sac on June and Indiana. Alternate 2: Close June and Indiana, with a service road between the two. 7/22/91 -3- Alternate 3: Cul -de -sac on June, restricted access at Indiana, providing for right turn out only. (No right turns onto Indiana.) The Director of Public Works felt the Council had expressed a preference for Alternate 3 at the previous meeting. Mayor Paulson indicated no formal consensus had been taken. The Council briefly discussed the traffic counts, and the Director of Public Works recommended the number 1,756 be used as a more correct figure than the range stated for Indiana Avenue on alternate 3. Councilmember Cohen stated he previously supported the closing of Indiana, but based upon the proposed alternatives, he felt Alternate 3 presented a reasonable compromise option. Mayor Paulson opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing regarding design of the 69th Avenue North/Indiana Avenue North intersection at 7:20 p.m. He inquired if there was anyone present who wished to address the Council. Written comments received from John LaChance, 6912 Halifax Avenue N.; James & Sue Perrault, 6912 Indiana Avenue N.; and C. W. Bloomquist, 6930 Indiana Avenue N. were noted for the record. All supported the Alternate 3 plan. Chris Carlson, 7000 Halifax Avenue N., was recognized and questioned the Council about the possibility of a three -way stop at 70th and Halifax which had been discussed at the previous Council meeting. He urged Council consideration of a three -way "T" intersection at the location. In regard to the closing of Indiana, Mr. Carlson did not feel it would have a substantial impact. Owen Kosloski, 6930 Halifax Avenue N., was recognized and concurred with Mr. Carlson's remarks. He felt a three -way stop was important because of the proximity to a school. P P tY Steve Novak, 6936 Halifax Avenue N., was recognized and concurred with the previous speakers about the need for a three -way stop at 70th and Halifax. He also felt the closing of Indiana would not have a substantial impact. Jim Perrault, 6912 Indiana Avenue N. was recognized and stated he favored Alternate 3. He felt the closing of Indiana would make the situation worse. Mr. Bloomquist was also present at the meeting, and echoed his written remarks, indicating he favored Alternate 3. 7/22/91 -4- There was no one else who appeared to speak, and Mayor Paulson entertained a motion to close the public hearing. There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Pedlar to close the public hearing at 7:31 p.m. The motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Cohen questioned whether the three -way stop discussed by the residents had been reviewed earlier. The City Manager responded staff's recommendation had been that no stop sign be installed, as cut throughs would be diminished when the proposed improvement is completed. He suggested the matter be referred to the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee. Councilmember Pedlar felt a three -way stop should be considered at 70th and Halifax due to the proximity to a school. Councilmember Cohen commented he had no objection to a three -way stop at that location, but felt a basis from staff would be needed in order to justify the decision. Councilmember Scott favored a three -way stop at that location and concurred to have the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee review the matter to develop an appropriate rationale. Councilmember Rosene concurred. There was a motion by Councilmember Cohen and seconded by Councilmember Scott to refer the matter of a three -way stop at 70th and Halifax to the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee, to report back to Council by the next meeting. The motion passed unanimously. RESOLUTION NO. 91 -183 Member Dave Rosene introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION AMENDING APPROVED ALIGNMENT /GEOMETRIC LAYOUT PLAN FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF 69TH AVENUE AT INDIANA AVENUE NORTH The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Jerry Pedlar. Mayor Paulson thanked the public for their input and felt it was important to balance all considerations. Councilmember Cohen felt the citizen's needs had been properly addressed and the proposed action was a reasonable compromise measure. Vote: Four ayes, one nay. The motion passed. Mayor Paulson voted nay. 7/22/91 -5- i ORDINANCES The Personnel Coordinator reviewed An Ordinance Amending Chapter 23 of the City Ordinances Regarding General Licensing Regulations. She explained a section defining a tobacco- related product had been added, also restrictions on self - service merchandising. In regard to progressive revocations, she indicated the Council might want to consider a case - by -case basis to give more flexibility. Raising the license fee was recommended, and a resolution had been drafted for this purpose to be considered in conjunction with the ordinance's second reading. Notices had been sent to all current license holders. In response to Councilmember Scott's question, the Personnel Coordinator commented there had been no response to date from current license holders regarding the restriction on no sales by persons under 18 years of age. The City Manager indicated "quick marts" were most apt to have a problem with this portion of the ordinance, as it might jeopardize teen jobs. Councilmember Scott indicated she had two calls from people in this situation. Frequently, these jobs paid only minimum wage making them difficult to fill with older persons. In regard to paragraph 1, on page 3, Councilmember Pedlar questioned the phrase "or otherwise dispose of," indicating he felt it was vague. The City Attorney indicated the verbiage was meant to prevent people from bartering, trading, or giving away the items in addition to selling them. Councilmember Rosene suggested that portion be reworded "or otherwise dispense" and the City Attorney concurred. Councilmember Cohen questioned whether the City's three largest supermarkets had been contacted in regard to the changes in the proposed ordinance. The Personnel Coordinator responded they had not and indicated staff could send out a copy of the ordinance with another notice. . In response to Councilmember Rosene's questioning of the $50 license fee, the Personnel Coordinator indicated the fee had been estimated and was an attempt by the City to recover increased enforcement costs. The Council discussed that a license should be conspicuously posted, which would make enforcement easier. Councilmember Rosene commented alcoholic beverages were allowed to be sold at "quick marts" in Wisconsin, and he assumed it would be illegal for minors to sell the product. Therefore, he felt the City should consider reviewing how they handled the issue of no sales by minors, as it related to the proposed ordinance. In regard to City liquor stores, the City Manager indicated there were occasional problems with getting employees, although the positions paid more than minimum wage. 7/22/91 -6- Councilmember Rosene questioned why individually packaged items were separate, and the Personnel Coordinator responded these smaller items were more prone to shoplifting or employee theft. Mayor Paulson opened the meeting for the purpose of an informal public hearing on the first reading of An Ordinance Amending Chapter 23 of the City Ordinances Regarding General Licensing Regulations. No public hearing was required, but there were members of the audience who wished to address the Council on this item. John Olson, a representative of the Minnesota Grocers Association, which represents retail and wholesale grocers and convenience stores, objected to the proposed ordinance. While he did not object to the intent of the ordinance, which was to limit sales to minors, he objected to the approach. He felt minors should be punished for possessing or attempting to buy the products, rather than putting the entire burden on the stores. He commented a State law was already in existence, with a penalty for selling to minors. Clerks were warned of the laws when hired and were given training in how to identify minors. If repeated incidents of selling to minors occurred, the clerks were terminated. Mr. Olson stated many stores were already voluntarily taking action to prevent sales to minors. He felt the City should enforce the current state laws and add a penalty to minors for attempted purchase. In response to Councilmember Cohen's question, the City Attorney indicated the City could add a penalty clause for minors. However, he stated the practice had been tried in other cities and was not widely used as most concluded it was mis- directed law enforcement. Mayor Paulson commented he did not favor penalizing minors. Dennis Carlson, director of operations for IGA Foods, concurred with the remarks of Mr. Olson. He felt family -owned stores with various ages of person employed, and stores where younger clerks were cross - trained might have a problem with the ordinance. Councilmember Rosene commented a clerk under 18 should never be supervising the establishment alone, so an adult would always be present. Therefore, the ordinance would still be applicable. The City Attorney felt the Council should make the ordinance more specific where "individually packaged" or "tobacco products" were referenced to make their intent clear. Councilmember Scott concurred and suggested it be reworded to make it clear any clerk selling any tobacco product was intended. David Johnson, of the Association of Non - Smokers, spoke in favor of the proposed ordinance and felt it was a step in the right direction. He felt the ordinance should include an amendment requiring an adult to be present whenever the products were sold. He 7/22/91 -7- opposed putting in a penalty clause for "children ", indicating it shifted the burden from the sellers. He felt tobacco and alcohol were both major problems for youth and should be treated equally. Councilmember Cohen commented he did not feel that 16 and 17 year -olds were "children ", and they should be expected to take some responsibility for their actions. Councilmember Pedlar indicated it was against the law for minors to possess alcohol Mr. Carlson indicated many 14 and 15 year -olds were intimidating because of their language, actions and sometimes, violence. He cited a case where a clerk who requested identification was struck by a minor and store property destroyed. He felt the ordinance was an awkward approach to preventing shoplifting. Councilmember Rosene commented he preferred to leave progressive civil penalties as codified. He felt if the rules and consequences were specifically spelled out in advance, enforcement would be more fair. Councilmember Cohen supported the intent of the ordinance and felt the Council should consider holding a public informational meeting on the matter to generate more input. He felt that would be preferable to waiting until the ordinance's second reading, as Council would have more opportunity to incorporate suggestions into the final draft. He suggested Council make changes to the ordinance as discussed, circulate the revised draft, and hold a public informational meeting on the matter as soon as feasible. Councilmember Rosene concurred. Mayor Paulson recommended the Council approve the first reading prior to proceeding with other possibilities. The Council concurred with changing the phrase "dispose of to "dispense" in all cases and to specify "any person who sells a tobacco product" as discussed with the City Attorney. There was a motion by Councilmember Rosene and seconded by Councilmember Cohen to approve for first reading An Ordinance (as amended) Amending Chapter 23 of the City Ordinances Regarding General Licensing Regulations and setting a public hearing date of August 12, 1991, at 7:15 p.m. The motion passed unanimously. Mayor Paulson informally closed the public hearing at 9:00 p.m. There was a motion by Councilmember Cohen and seconded by Councilmember Pedlar to have staff review the penalty provision and the matter of enforcement in regard to minors and report back by the next meeting. The motion passed unanimously. 7/22/91 -8- RECESS The Brooklyn Center City Council recessed at 9 p.m. and reconvened at 9:20 p.m. The Council concurred to hear item 10b next due to members of the public present. DISCUSSION ITEMS STAFF REPORT REGARDING DRAINAGE PROBLEMS IN THE 63RD AVENUE/INDIANA AVENUE AREA The Director of Public Works reviewed the report and concluded the area frequently flooded, causing water to back up into rear yards and flood basements of residents. No overland drainage was available. He reviewed seven possible remedies proposed by staff. Staff had evaluated the alternatives and recommended two possible options, with the recommendation that Option 2 be considered. Option 2 provided for: Include the study of this problem area as a specific assignment of the consultant who will be hired to develop the City -wide local storm water management plan which the City is required to complete by July 1, 1993. It is noted that, while the total plan may not be completed until 1993, it is certainly possible to require completion of specific segments of such a plan at an earlier date. It would appear to be possible to require this consultant to complete the study of this portion of the system in time to allow implementation of a solution in 1992. Councilmember Rosene concurred with Option 2. He suggested the possibility of creating a retention pond which would function as a park. The Director of Public Works indicated not all storm sewer ponds were wet ponds and felt the combined use was a good idea. Councilmember Pedlar felt there was urgency to the problem, as some residents were reluctant to leave their homes due to the potential flooding. He thanked the Director of Public Works for being responsive to the problem. The Director of Public Works suggested the City could install a check valve or manual valve immediately, as a stop -gap measure and seek a better long -term solution. However, residents of the area would need to be responsible for the manual valve, as there would not be time for City crews to reach the site in the event of flooding. A check valve could also be installed, but there were concerns that it could become plugged or fail to operate correctly. Floyd Anderson, 9208 West River Road had previously lived at 6313 Indiana for 21 years. His son now occupied that home. He felt Pearson Construction (the developer) had failed to meet their obligations and were responsible for the flooding problems. He supported the idea of a retention pond, and felt it would be an amenity for the area. Mr. Anderson also suggested a retention pond be connected to the storm sewer on 65th Avenue. 7/22/91 -9- Mayor Paulson thanked Mr. Anderson for his good ideas, and the Director of Public Works indicated he would review the matter to see if the outlet was adequate. Homer Carey, 6307 Indiana Avenue, stated the problem had been ongoing for 33 years. He had replaced carpeting four times in the past 15 years. In regard to a manual valve, Mr. Carey was reluctant to accept the responsibility for a valve, as he preferred a better long- term solution. He indicated he would not oppose the idea if a better solution were pursued in a timely manner. There was a motion by Councilmember Rosene and seconded by Councilmember Scott directing staff to pursue Option 1 and authorizing funding from the storm sewer utilities and authorizing staff to work out the details of a temporary solution with the affected property owners. The motion passed unanimously. STAFF REPORT REGARDING 57TH AVENUE DRAINAGE PROBLEMS The Director of Public Works reviewed this item and showed slides of the affected area. He indicated the grade was half of that recommended, and therefore, there was not proper drainage. He indicated the problem needed to be solved, but it was not a high priority. He recommended the City wait until 57th Avenue was reconstructed (scheduled for 1993 or 1994) and incorporate this action into that project. There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Rosene to approve staff's recommendation that storm sewer improvements be constructed in coordination with a complete street improvement project for 57th Avenue; and that the reconstruction of 57th Avenue, along with the storm sewer system improvements be programmed for implementation in 1993 or 1994. The motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Rosene suggested residents of the area be informed of the proposed action. • ORDINANCE The City Manager presented An Ordinance Amending Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances Regarding the Allowable Size of Space for Lease Real Estate Signs. It was noted the City Council had tabled consideration of the first reading previously on an ordinance amendment and directed staff to prepare various modifications to the ordinance. The Director of Planning and Inspection explained the modifications which had been made to keep the ordinance simple and easier to enforce. He noted all signs would require dates to be put on them to aid in enforcement of time limits. 7/22/91 _10- Councilmember Cohen questioned whether a six-plex would be allowed to have a sign, under the proposed ordinance. The Director of Planning and Inspection indicated it would. Councilmember Cohen objected to this provision. In response to Councilmember Cohen's question, the City Attorney indicated the Council would not be locked in to a policy if they decided to change their minds at a later date. The "temporary" title left the matter up to Council discretion. The Council discussed relating signage to the size of the building, and discussed the possibility of striking the real estate section of the ordinance and proposed new language for multiple- dwelling facilities. Mayor Paulson indicated he had admired the constraint of the previous policy. Councilmember Cohen indicated the City had a history of being conservative in regard to signs. Councilmember Scott concurred. Mayor Paulson felt large signs did not have a significant impact on the business on which they were placed and that they were unsightly. Councilmember Cohen felt business had certain economic problems and that the Council should be sensitive to their needs. He suggested the time frame be changed from two years to one year to allow the Council to supervise more closely. Mayor Paulson felt the City was better served by the status quo. He did not feel the minimal impact on businesses was great enough to offset the negative aspect for the City. There was a motion by Councilmember Cohen and seconded by Councilmember Rosene to modify as discussed, including changing the time frame to one year, taking out multiple residential buildings, and reducing the 15 feet above ground to 10 feet and approving for first reading An Ordinance Amending Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances Regarding the Allowable Size of Space for Lease Real Estate Signs and setting a public hearing date of August 12, 1991, at 7:15 p.m. Vote: Four ayes, one nay. The motion passed. Mayor Paulson voted nay. RECESS There was a motion by Councilmember Cohen and seconded by Councilmember Scott to recess the Brooklyn Center City Council at 11:35 p.m. for the purpose of convening the Economic Development Authority. The motion passed unanimously. The Brooklyn Center City Council recessed at 11:35 p.m. and reconvened at 12:58 a.m. ORDINANCE The City Manager presented An Ordinance Fixing Certain Compensation to be Paid to the Elected Officials of the City of Brooklyn Center. The item related to the establishment of per diem pay for the Mayor and Councilmembers. 7/22/91 Mayor Paulson commented that communities frequently went to a per diem pay when the number of meetings per month were increased. He felt the Council should consider ddi a i t n oalmonthly meetings, and therefore, a per diem a would be an appropriate P pay PP riate P solution. Councilmember Cohen felt the Mayor position, especially, should have a higher salary, as it was lower than that of surrounding communities. He suggested the possibility of raising the salaries of the Mayor and Councilmembers by $500/year apiece. Councilmember Pedlar felt it would be fair to increase the salaries of the Mayor and Councilmembers to that of surrounding communities, but recognized that times were tough from an economic standpoint. He indicated he would support per diem pay on the basis that it had specific value to the community. He suggested citizen input on the matter. Mayor Paulson indicated he appreciated Councilmember Cohen's remarks and felt people should not be penalized for public service. He had given the matter a lot of thought and felt a salary increase was justified for the positions of Mayor and Councilmembers. In response to Councilmember Scott's question, the City Manager indicated the City Council would approve the per diem requests. Councilmember Rosene commented that as a teacher, he is allowed one personal leave day each year, after which he must pay a substitute. He supported an increase in part so that he would be able to attend as many functions as possible. There was a motion by Councilmember Cohen and seconded by Councilmember Scott to approve for first reading An Ordinance Fixing Certain Compensation to be Paid to the Elected Officials of the City of Brooklyn Center and setting a public hearing date of August 12, 1991, at 7:15 p.m. The motion passed unanimously. ORDINANCE The City Manager presented An Ordinance Fixing Council Salaries. This item would increase the salaries of the Mayor and Councilmembers effective January 1, 1993. The Council discussed the possibility of increasing the number of meetings per month. Councilmember Scott favored increasing the number from two to three, with the added meeting being set aside solely for discussion items. She felt this would free a substantial amount of time at other Council meetings. She felt it was important to take action to alleviate the lateness of the meetings as was currently the case. The Council discussed that the Brooklyn Park Mayor's annual salary was $11,700 and the Brooklyn Park Councilmembers' annual salary was $7,800, for comparison purposes. The Brooklyn Center Mayor and Councilmembers salaries are currently $7,000 and $5,000, respectively. 7/22/91 -12- Mayor Paulson felt reviewing salaries every other year would be appropriate. Previously, the matter had not been addressed for 10 years. He suggested reviewing staffing functions and consider having the Financial Task Force review the matter also. In regard to additional monthly meetings, Councilmember Cohen suggested salary not be directly tied to the number of meetings per month. Councilmember Scott felt the City had an obligation to future Councils to increase salaries and felt it should not be an imposition to be a Councilmember. The Council concurred to table the item until the next Council meeting. There was a motion by Councilmember Cohen and seconded by Councilmember Pedlar to table first reading of the proposed ordinance until the next Council meeting. The motion passed unanimously. RESOLUTIONS (CONTINUED) RESOLUTION NO. 91 -184 Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BID AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR REPLACEMENT OF SIDEWALK SECTIONS ALONG BROOKLYN BOULEVARD, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1991 -04, CONTRACT 1991 -E The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Dave Rosene, and the motion passed unanimously.
