I .. INVOCATION The invocation was offered by Councilmember Scott. OPEN FORUM Mayor Nyquist noted the Council had received a request from Robert O'Donnell, 720 69th Avenue North, regarding erecting a fence between his property and the property of Columbus Village Apartments. Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. O'Donnell who stated he would like to see a fence erected between his property and II Columbus Village Apartments, and he felt this should be done at the apartment's expense. He stated in the warmer months his property is frequently subject to vandalism. He noted last summer the windows in his garage were broken. He stated that he has contacted the City and been told there are no ordinances which would require a fence or screening between Columbus Village Apartments and his property because of the age of the apartments. Mayor Nyquist inquired if Mr. O'Donnell has tried using the Mediation Services available to residents. Mr. O'Donnell stated he has not done so at this point. Mr. O'Donnell inquired whether there was any ordinance which would require Columbus Village to at least screen their parking area from his property. The City Manager stated he would have staff investigate this problem and get back to Mr. O'Donnell. In the meantime, he suggested that Mr. O'Donnell contact the Mediation Service and see if they can assist Mr. O'Donnell with his problem.

RESOLUTIONS (CONTINUED) The City Manager presented a Resolution Expressing Recognition of and Appreciation for the Dedicated Public Service of Richard Jennrich. He noted that Mr. Jennrich has worked in the Public Works Department for 34 years, and 4 -20 -87 -3- will be retiring on May 1, 1987. RESOLUTION NO. 87 -83 Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION EXPRESSING RECOGNITION OF AND APPRECIATION FOR THE DEDICATED PUBLIC SERVICE OF RICHARD JENNRICH The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Rich Theis, and the motion passed unanimously. 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. Councilmember Lhotka inquired if there had been a major change in the specifications for the second bidding process which would result in these higher bids. The Director of Public Works stated that the only difference was in the first set of specifications the City had requested a single logo on the water tower, and in the second set of specifications two logos had been requested. He noted the cost for these logos was not high enough to warrant the large increase in bids submitted the second time around. Councilmember Lhotka stated he believed the Council should award the contract to the second lowest bidder. Councilmember Hawes stated he did not agree with Councilmember Lhotka, and stated he believed the bid should not be awarded to the second lowest bidder unless the City was under a set time frame for this project. The Director of Public Works stated if the Council were to reject all bids, he would suggest waiting until next year to rebid the project. He stated that at this time of the year the bids could become very high because most of the contractors have already filled their development schedules for the season. The Director of Public Works stated staff has had experience with the second low bidder, and they have done an excellent job for the City in the past. He added staff has also checked the references for the low bidder, and it does appear they are very knowledgeable in this area. However, he stated their bid did not conform to specification requirements,.` and the Council has the right to reject the bid. Councilmember Lhotka inquired whether Johnson Brothers, Inc. knew of the error before submitting their bid and chose to do nothing about it. The Director of - Public Works stated that Johnson Brothers, Inc. was aware the company needed to be registered to do business in the State of Minnesota. He stated Johnson Brothers, Inc. had spoken with the consulting engineer regarding this requirement. Councilmember Lhotka inquired what the City Attorney's opinion was on this matter. The City Attorney stated that the safest way to handle this problem would be to reject all bids and start the process over again. However, he noted it could mean quite a delay for the project, and it may not be the most practical solution at this time. He stated that if the Council were to award the project to the second lowest bidder and reject the first lowest bidder, the City would have an excellent chance of winning any court case which was brought against them. If the Council chooses to award the contract to the first low bidder, he 4 -20 -87 -4- feels the City would have a fair chance of winning this type of court case. He noted that if all bids were rejected, the complainant would have no assurances that he would win the bid the next time around. Councilmember Theis inquired what the condition of the water tower is at this time and if it could wait for one more year. The Director of Public Works stated the outward appearance would deteriorate even more and the corrosion on the inside of the water tower would worsen. RESOLUTION NO. 87 -84 Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BID AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR WATER TOWER NO. 1 RECONDITIONING, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1987 -02, CONTRACT 1987 -B The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Rich Theis, and the motion passed with Mayor Nyquist and Councilmember Hawes opposed. The City Manager presented a Resolution Accepting Proposal for Furnishing 420 Linear Feet of Class 55 Ductile Iron Pipe with Restrained Joints for Use in Improvement Project No. 1987 -03, Brookdale 16" Water Main Improvement. The Director of Public Works stated the courts have not made any ruling on the temporary injunction concerning the award of this project. He stated staff recommends the Council approve this resolution which would allow staff to place an order for this special pipe if the court grants the temporary injunction. However, if the court were to deny the injunction then the order would be placed through 0 & P Contracting. Councilmember Lhotka inquired if the contract amount would be decreased by the cost of the pipe if it were awarded to someone other than 0 & P Contracting. The Director of Public Works responded affirmatively. RESOLUTION NO. 87 -85 Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING PROPOSAL TO FURNISH 420 LINEAR FEET OF CLASS 55 DUCTILE IRON PIPE WITH RESTRAINED JOINTS FOR USE IN IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1987 -03, BROOKDALE 16" WATER MAIN The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Bill Hawes, and the motion passed unanimously. The City Manager presented a Resolution Authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to Amend an Agreement between the City of Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Center Mediation Project.

Councilmember Hawes abstained from the vote.

The Director of Public Works left the table at 7:40 p.m. The Director of Planning & Inspection noted the area has access off of Parkway Circle which is a private road. He stated the Planning Commission has some concerns regarding additional traffic from the 100% office occupancy during afternoon peak hours. The Director of Public Works returned to the table at 7:47 p.m. The Director of Planning & Inspection pointed out the consideration of the total landscaping improvements is not part of this approval, but it would be considered at another time. He stated that the Planning Commission recommended approval of this item, subject to 12 conditions which he proceeded to review for the Council. He stated a public hearing has been scheduled for this evening and notices have been sent. Councilmember Hawes inquired if parking is allowed on Parkway Circle. The Director of Planning & Inspection stated that parking is not allowed on a private road; it is designated as a fire lane. A brief discussion then ensued regarding the drainage for the area and the possibility of the buildings ever flooding. Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on Planning Commission Application No. 87007 submitted by Shingle Creek Land Company.

ORDINANCES The City Manager presented An Ordinance Amending Chapter 34 Regarding Off Premise Advertising Signs. He stated that basically the changes made to this ordinance are adjustments which would bring the language contained in this ordinance into compliance with current court rulings. There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Scott to approve for first reading An Ordinance Amending Chapter 34 Regarding Off Premise Advertising Signs, and setting a public hearing date for May 18, 1987 at 7:30 p.m. The motion passed unanimously. The City Manager presented An Ordinance Amending Chapter 35 Regarding the Planning Commission. He stated this item was first read on March 9, 1987, published in the City's official newspaper on March 19, 1987 and was offered for a second reading on April 6, 1987. He noted action on this ordinance was tabled at the April 6, 1987 meeting. He pointed out this item requires a 4/5 vote of the City Council. Mayor Nyquist noted the question raised at the April 6, 1987 Council meeting was whether the Planning Commission should choose their own Chairperson or should the Mayor choose Chairperson. Councilmember Lhotka inquired why the Planning Commission was set up in this way. The City Manager stated the reason is unclear and it could be that the consultant who put together the original ordinance had done it this way in the past. Councilmember Hawes stated that the method of allowing the Planning Commission to choose their own Chairperson has always worked well in the past, but he also believes allowing the Mayor to choose the Chairperson works well too. He stated he can see no reason for not bringing the Planning Commission into conformance with the other commissions. Councilmember Theis stated that he can see no reason to change the method of choosing the Chairperson to allow the Mayor to do so. He stated members of the Planning Commission have expressed concerns regarding this new method, and he feels it should be left as it is. ORDINANCE NO. 87 -03 Member Bill Hawes introduced the following ordinance and moved its adoption: 4 -20 -87 -8- i AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 35 REGARDING THE PLANNING COMMISSION I The motion for the adoption of the foregoing ordinance was duly seconded by member Mayor Nyquist, and the motion passed with Councilmember Theis opposed. t RESOLUTION NO. 87 -87 Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION DEFINING DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE BROOKLYN CENTER PLANNING COMMISSION The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Bill Hawes, and the motion passed unanimously. DISCUSSION ITEMS WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT - STATUS REPORT The Director of Public Works stated he would like to update the Mayor and Councilmembers on the progress being made on the quality of the water supply to residents in an area on the western edge of the City. He stated some progress is being made by increasing the chemical treatment of the water and installation of three new in -line pumps within the water mains in the area. He stated one problem which has arisen is that when the pumps were first installed they were very quiet, but after time a noise has developed which carries into the homes along the line. He stated during the nighttime hours the pumps are shut off, but this defeats the purpose of an in -line pump. The Director of Public Works stated that it will cost approximately $50,000 a year to continue this approach, and noted that the consultants believe that whatever approach is taken to this problem, it will never be totally eliminated. He stated because it is very difficult to evaluate the long -term effects of these measures based on short- term experience, it is staff's recommendation the City continue with this present course of action for four to six months, then evaluate the results and decide whether or not to continue on this course. If a decision is made that replacement of some of the water mains is required, plans should be made to do that work early in 1988. i The Director of Public Works stated one additional recommendation is to install a loop water main on Paul Circle, so as to eliminate the dead end conditions which exist on that street. He pointed out as long as the dead end exists, the in -line pumps have no effect on that line, and the effects of water treatment are substantially reduced. He noted the estimated cost for installing this loop main on Paul Circle is $20,000 and could be installed in 1987, if the Council wishes to do. Councilmember Lhotka inquired how many homes were on Paul Circle. The Director of Public Works stated there are eight or ten homes on Paul Circle. Councilmember Lhotka asked what the total number of homes in the area is. The Director of Public Works stated there are 500 to 600 homes in this problem area. The Director of Public Works stated that the chemical is being added at the well and it goes throughout the entire City. He noted the number of complaints has 4 -20 -87 -9- been reduced throughout the City, and added there would be no way to correct the problem in only one area. The Cit y Manager er stated staff and the consultant has been looking for any common denominator which would point to why some houses have the problem and some do not. He stated that at this point no common denominators have been found. Councilmember Hawes inquired if the new increase for water rates would cover the $50,000 expenditure for this treatment. The Director of Public Works responded affirmatively. Councilmember Lhotka stated he would like some more details on the work being proposed for Paul Circle and an exact cost. Councilmember Theis stated he would like staff to determine whether there are any other areas within the City with the same problem. The Director of Public Works stated that Paul Circle is a. unique situation and there are no other areas in the City like this. PROPOSAL FOR TRAFFIC STUDY AND PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF 69TH AVENUE NORTH BETWEEN DUPONT AVENUE NORTH AND ZANE AVENUE NORTH The Director of Public Works stated in 1985 the City Council adopted a Resolution which Approved a Five Year Municipal State Aid Capital Improvement Program. He noted this tentatively programmed (1) the acquisition of additional right -of -way along 69th Avenue in 1988 and (2) the reconstruction of 69th Avenue in 1989. He stated that after preliminary review of this proposed improvement there are many special factors which enter into the consideration of the project. He stated the overall environmental impact should be reviewed and that the area should be studied between Dupont and Zane Avenues North. He noted the City has received a proposal from Short - Elliott- Hendrickson, Inc. for the traffic studies and preliminary design of the area. He stated that Short- Elliott- Hendrickson, Inc. has done traffic studies for the City in the past, each time with excellent results. He stated staff recommends approving the proposal for the traffic study and preliminary design. Councilmember Lhotka inquired how long the study would take. The Director of Public Works stated it would take approximately one year. Councilmember Lhotka stated that he would like to know more facts about the proposed project before approving the cost. The Director of Public Works stated the estimated cost for the traffic studies and preliminary design is $59,000. He noted this cost estimate does not include some items, but that his most pessimistic estimate would be $120,000. Mayor Nyquist inquired if Hennepin County would be paying for an of this his study. The Director of Public Works stated it is difficult to get money from the County for a study of this type, but the City and SEH would be asking the County for their technical assistance. Councilmember Scott inquired what portion of the study could be reimbursed by local MSA funds. The Director of Public Works stated less than 50% could be reimbursed by local MSA funds. Councilmember Theis inquired what a "6F statement is. The Director of Public Works stated it is a detailed environmental study which may have to be completed for each parcel of land in question. RESOLUTION NO. 87 -88 Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: 4 -20 -87 -10- RESOLUTION APPROVING AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES WITH SHORT- ELLIOTT- HENDRICKSON, INC., CONSULTING ENGINEERS, TO CONDUCT A TRAFFIC STUDY AND PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF 69TH AVENUE NORTH BETWEEN DUPONT AVENUE AND ZANE AVENUE NORTH, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1987 -08 The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Celia Scott, and the motion passed with Councilmember Hawes opposed.

LOWER TWIN LAKE The City Manager stated the City of Robbinsdale is seeking special legislation to allow the City to regulate Lower Twin Lake in conjunction with the Department of Natural Resources. He noted at this time no action has been taken. HOUSE FILE NO 1342 PERTAINING TO THE SALE OF WINE IN GROCERY STORES The City Manager stated that staff foresees many problems if the sale of wine in grocery stores is allowed. He stated staff does not believe grocery stores are capable of regulating the sale of wine as well as liquor stores. Councilmember Theis inquired if the sale of 3.2 beer is regulated closely in grocery stores. The City Manager stated the sale of 3.2 beer in grocery stores is required to be as strictly regulated as the sales in liquor stores, but staff has been told that regulation problems do exist. He stated staff will be looking into these regulation problems in the future. Councilmember Theis inquired whether the City would license this type of sale in grocery stores. The City Manager responded affirmatively. Councilmember Scott stated she believes a major problem for grocery stores is age enforcement. She noted that she has seen grocery stores refuse to sell 3.2 beer after the correct selling hours, but she has never seen any grocery store check someone's age before selling 3.2 `beer. RESOLUTION NO. 87 -89 Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION REGARDING HOUSE FILE NO. 1342 PERTAINING TO THE SALE OF WINE IN GROCERY STORES The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Bill Hawes, and the motion passed unanimously.
