OPEN FORUM
Mayor Nyquist noted that he had received a request from Bill Lakotas,
representing the Brooklyn Center Constitution Committee. Mr. Lakotas stated
when the Constitution Committee began planning the celebration for this year
they were given a number of suggestions, but as the suggestions were discussed
it was found that most of these ideas were quite impossible to implement within
Brooklyn Center. He stated he is before the Council this evening to make one
request which the committee feels would be possible. He stated the Brooklyn
Center Constitution Committee would 'like to request that the City Council
consider changing the name of Central Park to Constitution Park. He added the
seven articles of the Constitution could be posted along he trailwa
g y for people
to read as they walk through the park. He stated that if the Council agrees to
this name change there could be a dedication ceremony on September 17, 1987
which is the main celebration date for the Constitution. Councilmember Theis
stated he believes the Constitution Committee's request merits some thought, and
he would like to suggest sending this idea on to the Park and Recreation
Commission for their recommendations. There was a general consensus among
Councilmembers that this item be passed along to the Brooklyn Center Park and
Recreation Commission.

RESOLUTIONS
The City Manager presented a Resolution Approving Design Concept for Community
Center Improvements, Improvement Project No. 1987 -05. The Director of Public
Works briefly reviewed the memorandum prepared for this agenda item, and noted
that the estimated total project cost is much above the original estimate which
the Council initially approved on February 23, 1987. He stated substantial
changes will be needed to bring parts of the building up to code. He then
introduced Al Mjorud from Carlson Mjorud Architecture Limited (CMA), who is
present this evening to briefly explain the project.
Mayor Nyquist inquired if the code deficiencies have existed all along or if the
code has changed and brought about these deficiencies. The Director of Public
Works stated when the building was originally constructed it met all the current
codes. Since that time, several codes have changed and parts of the building
need to be upgraded. Mayor Nyquist stated that the social hall has always
seemed rather dark and like a hole. He inquired why the architects had
originally proposed this type of area. The City Manager stated the recessed
stairs around the entire social hall were to give the room a theater in the
round effect, but the room is not often used for this activity. He stated that
the dark walls were to give the room a more dramatic effect. The City Manager
stated since this room is only used 2.1% of the time for theatrical performances
of any type, staff recommends filling in the recessed area to protect the City
4 -6 -87
-4-
from any liability claims.
Mr. Mjorud went on to review all areas of the proposed project, and noted the
original budget estimate was for the reroofing of an average building. He noted
reroofing a building which contains a swimming pool is a much different
situation and that a structural analysis should be done to be sure the roof
could handle the additional insulation and roofing load. A brief discussion
then ensued regarding the three options available for insulation and roofing of
the Community Center.
The City Manager stated that Councilmember Lhotka had received a copy of this
report and had informed the City Manager that he did not feel it was worthwhile
to obtain an additional 20 years of life for the Community Center roof by
spending $35,000 more. He stated that Councilmember Lhotka recommended that the
Council choose option No. 1 with an estimated total cost of $175,000.
t
The Director of Public Works stated it is the staff's recommendation that the
City Council choose option No. 3 in which a layer of ISO would be sandwiched
between two layers of foamglas. He stated this method could make the steel
decking last another 30 to 40 ear
y s. He noted if the Council chose option No. 1
and moisture continues to build up under the roof, the City could possibly end
up replacing the entire steel decking.
A discussion then ensued regarding the rusted steel decking panels and the
procedure which would be used to cover them. The City Manager stated there does
not appear to be as much damage as staff had anticipated. He added that staff
is recommending delaying the tuck pointing portion of the project until 1988 to
allow for further investigation.
! Councilmember Theis inquired if it would be possible to take bids on all the
alternates for the roofing options and choose at that point. The Director of
Public Works stated it could be done, but it would mean a considerable amount of
architectural work to write specifications for alternate bids. He stated staff
recommends choosing one option this evening.
F „
Councilmember Scott stated she believes the design concept using ISO and
foamglas to be the best choice for the City. Councilmember Hawes agreed.
RESOLUTION NO. 87 -68
Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION APPROVING DESIGN CONCEPT FOR COMMUNITY CENTER IMPROVEMENTS,
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1987 -05
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Bill Hawes, and the motion passed with Councilmember Theis opposed.
ORDINANCE
The City Manager introduced An Ordinance Amending Chapter 35 Regarding the
Planning Commission. He noted this item was first read on March 9, 1987,
published In the City's y official newspaper on
March °19 198
7 and is offered this
evening for a second reading. He then went on to briefly review the ordinance

amendment.
Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on An
Ordinance Amending Chapter 35 Regarding the Planning Commission, and inquired if
there was anyone present who wished to speak at
p the ublic hearing. No one
P g
requested to speak and he entertained a motion to close the public hearing.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to
close the public hearing on An Ordinance Amending Chapter 35 Regarding the
Planning Commission. The motion passed.
Councilmember Theis inquired if the proposed resolution defining the duties and
responsibilities for the Planning Commission stated that the appointment of the
chairman would be by the Mayor. The City Manager responded affirmatively and
stated this would make the Planning Commission consistent with all other
advisor commissions. Councilmember lmember Theis stated that he would prefer to allow
the Planning Commission to choose their own chairman. A discussion then ensued
relative to the pros and cons of allowing the Commission or Mayor to choose the
chairman for the Planning Commission.
There was a motion by Councilmember Theis and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
table action on this ordinance until the April 20, 1987 City Council meeting.
PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS
PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 87006 SUBMITTED BY WILLARD BLAKE REQUESTING
SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPROVAL FOR A RETAIL SHOWROOM OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT IN THE
I -1 (INDUSTRIAL PARK) ZONING DISTRICT
The City Manager noted this item was recommended for approval by the Planning
Commission at its March 26, 1987 meeting. The Director of Planning & Inspection
referred the Council to pages one and two of the March 26, 1987 minutes and the
attached informational sheet. He briefly reviewed the application and noted
this would be a special use in the I -1 district. He noted the applicant would
be required to provide 13 parking spaces for this business. He stated that the
Planning Commission recommended approval of the application, subject to five

DISCUSSION ITEM
PUBLIC UTILITIES RATE STUDY
The Director of Public Works briefly reviewed the three additional alternatives
which have been developed and analyzed regarding the utility rates study. He
added that because of the concerns raised regarding the $5 late penalty charge,
staff is now recommending a $3 late charge or 10% of the bill, whichever is
greater. Councilmember Hawes inquired if senior citizens rates would also be
increased by the same percentage. The City Manager stated all rates would be
raised proportionately. Councilmember Theis inquired what the cost to the City
was for producing the delinquent water notices. The Director of Finance stated
two notices are sent regarding delinquent accounts and he is not sure of the
exact cost of producing these notices. Councilmember Hawes inquired if it would
be possible to put a $3 penalty on the first notice and a $5 penalty on the
second notice. The
Director of Finance stated he would prefer a flat charge
because it would be easier to collect one fee.
Councilmember Scott stated she believes option F to be the best option for water
utility use rates, and option B or D for the sewer rates. The Director of
Public Works stated that he would recommend the Council choose option D for the
sanitary sewer rates, if option F is chosen for the water rates. He pointed out
that by choosing option D for the sanitary sewer rates the increases would begin
at the same time.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Hawes
directing staff to prepare a resolution and set a public hearing regarding the
water and sanitary sewer rate increase using option F for the water rate and
option D for the sanitary sewer rate.
RESOLUTIONS (CONTINUED)
The City Manager presented a Resolution Accepting Bid and Awarding Contract for
Water Tower No. 1 Reconditioning, Improvement Project No. 1987 -02, Contract
1987 -B. He stated staff is recommending that this item be tabled until the
April 20, 1987 City Council meeting.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Theis to
table a Resolution Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract for Water Tower No. 1
Reconditioning, Improvement Project No. 1987 -02, Contract 1987 -B until the
April 20, 1987 City Council meeting. The motion passed.
The City Manager presented a Resolution Accepting Proposal for Additional
Landscape Work on Civic Center Plaza, Improvement Project No. 1984 -10. The
Director of Public Works stated this resolution and the two which follow it on
the agenda are all related. He went on to explain the problems which were
encountered during the final completion period for this project, and noted that
verbal agreements were reached on several occasions, only to have the contractor
or subcontractor fail to perform under those agreements. He stated that now a
compromise agreement has been reached for the pond liner and the replacement
4 -6 -87
-8-
trees. He stated staff is also recommending the installation of a semi-
automatic sprinkler system for the flower beds in the Civic Center plaza. He
noted it takes a considerable amount of time for someone in the maintenance
department to tend to the watering of these flower beds.
Mayor Nyquist stated that in regard to the replacement trees, surely someone
must have known of the adverse conditions in the area and been able to recommend
other type plantings. The Director of Public Works stated the landscape
architect knew of the conditions in the plaza and attempted to select a variety
of plantings which would have a good chance of survival. He stated that his
recommendations were purely a judgment call. Mayor Nyquist inquired if the
landscape architect is absorbing any of this cost of replacement. The Director
of Public Works stated the landscape architect has not been asked to absorb any
` cost because staff does not feel it was his responsibility. Councilmember Theis
stated he agrees with the Mayor that the landscape architect should have some
I financial responsibility for these replacement trees.

all bids and rebidding the entire project. However, he noted this cannot be
done without the consent of 0 & P Contracting.

hold until the water main improvement can be completed, those being the golf
course parking lot and the Main Street store. Councilmember Theis inquired if
the City Council rejects all bids and rebids the entire project, will all the

all three projects would be completed later than the City had anticipated, but
if the City were to battle this in court it could take even longer.
