BRAUN The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Gene Lhotka, and the motion passed unanimously. The City Manager presented a Resolution Approving Plans and Specifications for Earle Brown Farm Tax Increment District Phase III Streetscape Improvements (Improvement Project No. 1986 -21, Contracts 1986 -Q, 1986 -R and 1986 -S). He noted that this is the major phase of construction of the streetscape improvements within the tax increment district. The Director of Public Works proceeded to review this project, and noted that because the work falls into three distinctively different areas of construction expertise and specialty, staff was recommending that the work be placed into three separate contracts. He noted that the specifications require the three contractors to cooperate with each other as specifically directed by our project engineer. He noted that the three areas of construction would be construction of sidewalks, retaining walls, and pavers at the nodes; installation of the lighting systems; and installation of landscape plantings. He noted that the total estimated cost for this project is $880,000. He noted that the project would be paid for by the tax increment district proceeds. Councilmember Hawes inquired if the City has obtained permission from all property owners for the corner improvements. The Director of Public Works stated that permission has been obtained from all but three property owners. He noted that the specifications would be written so that these corner nodes could be deleted from the project if approval was not received. There was a brief discussion of the three properties which have not given their permission at this time and the Director of Public Works stated that he believes two of the three property owners will give their permission. The Director of Public Works then introduced Mr. Tim Erkkila, Westwood Planning and Engineering Company, who went on to explain the lighting and landscaping concepts which are being proposed. He noted that the plans are striving for consistency throughout the area, and that aesthetics are important. He briefly reviewed the two types of light fixtures which would be used in the area, and noted that it was difficult finding fixtures which met with NSP approval. Mr. Erkkila went on to review the different types of plantings proposed for the area which would could create a pedestrian /park like environment. 1 -12 -87 -7- RESOLUTION NO. 87 -15 Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION APPROVING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR EARLE BROWN FARM TAX INCREMENT DISTRICT PHASE III STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS (IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1986 -21, CONTRACTS 1986 -Q, 1986 -R AND 1986 -S) The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Bill Hawes, and the motion passed unanimously. PUBLIC HEARINGS The City Manager noted that two public hearings had been scheduled this evening relative to the same project. He noted that this project comprehends acquisition of right -of -way for establishment of Grimes Avenue North leading to the Joslyn Corporation property. He noted that this would provide an access road to the property to allow for future development. The Director of Public Works stated that the Joslyn property has four access points at the present time, but that staff feels none of these are suitable because three lead through a residential area, and the fourth is located immediately adjacent to the France Avenue railroad crossing. The Director of Public Works reviewed for the Council how the City had obtained options from the two property owners for the right -of- way easement. He noted that the total cost of the project is proposed to be levied against the Joslyn Corporation property. He stated that the future development of the Joslyn property would require more suitable access points than the ones that are presently there. Councilmember Hawes inquired how much of the parking lot would be taken from the health club if this road were developed. The Director of Public Works stated that the parking lot was developed after the City acquired the option on the property and that no portion of the present parking lot would be disturbed by the roadway. The Director of Publis Works stated that notices of the public hearings have been published and have been sent to the benefitting property owner. He also noted that Joslyn Corporation has filed several items of correspondence objecting to the proposed project and to the proposed special assessment. Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing regarding Improvement Project No. 1986 -05, Acquisition of Right -of -Way for Establishment of Grimes Avenue North between Lakebreeze Avenue and the South Line of the North One Half (Nl /2) of Section 10, Township 118, Range 21. He inquired if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak at the public hearing. Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Mac Hyde, attorney for the Joslyn Corporation. Mr. Hyde stated that he has a short presentation that he would like to make to the Council regarding the property in question. He noted that the Joslyn Corporation has been working with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency regarding hazardous waste containment on the site. He added that the site is listed on the national riorit list p for cleanup sites. Mr. Hyde stated ated th p y at it would be impossible to consider any future development of the site because of the waste containment facility. He stated for that reason, the Joslyn Corporation does not agree with the City's plan for the road. 1 -12 -87 -8- Mr. Hyde then introduced Mr. Allan Gephart of Barr Engineering. Mr. Gephart briefly reviewed the containment facility proposal, and noted that Joslyn Corporation is hoping to start construction of this facility in 1987. There was a brief discussion of the proposed facility and its similarity to the facility in Fridley on old Central Avenue. Mr. Hyde then introduced Mr. Peter Patrin, a real estate appraiser and consultant specializing in industrial and toxic contaminated properties. Mr. Patrin stated that after much review of the property, he has come to two conclusions. The first, the property is nonmarketable because of the overwhelming liabilities. Second, the property is nonmortgageable because of the toxic waste on the property. Mr. Patrin stated that the property would be of no value to a private developer and that it has only limited value as open space. The City Manager stated that the staff has tried to encourage Joslyn Corporation to look at long range .development plans for the property. He inquired if the containment area would preclude any other development on the other part of this site. Mr. Patrin stated that the property could be replatted after the cleanup process has taken place, but there would still be a wariness of the site. The City Manager stated that staff feels in 20 to 30 years portions of that site will be developed. The Director of Public Works briefly reviewed the alternatives. There was a motion by Councilmember Hawes and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka to continue the public hearing on the improvement project and the public hearing regarding the proposed assessment for the project until the January 26, 1987 meeting, allowing time for the City administration to attempt to obtain an extension of the option agreements. The motion passed. Councilmember Scott inquired if this motion would approve an extension of the option agreements or allow for negotiation of an extension to the option agreements. The City Manager stated that this would allow for negotiation of an extension to the option agreements. Councilmember Scott stated that she did not believe the City should pay for the roadway because of the slight possibility of future development. Mr. Hyde pointed out that the Joslyn Corporation will always be considered the responsible party for this land. RESOLUTIONS (CONTINUED) The City Manager presented a Resolution Establishing Improvement Project No. 1987 -03, Installation of a Water Main from Lions Park to the Intersection of County Road 10 and Shingle Creek Parkway, Ordering Preparation of a Report Thereon, and Approving Agreement for Professional Services to Conduct a Soils Investigation Relating Thereto. Councilmember Lhotka left the table at 9:28 p.m. The City Manager pointed out that staff is recommending that this project be initiated and implemented in conjunction and cooperation with the proposed redevelopment of the easterly portion of the Brookdale Shopping Center site. Councilmember Scott inquired how the City proposes getting from point A to point B considering the poor soil conditions in the area. The Director of Public Works stated that part of the proposal would be extensive soil borings from the area to locate the most viable route for the water main. 1 -12 -87 -9- Councilmember Lhotka returned to the table at 9 :30 p.m. Councilmember Scott inquired if there would be any problems working with MN /DOT or Hennepin County. The Director of Public Works stated that the City would not encounter any problems working with Hennepin County, but that the project would take time to work out with MN /DOT. Councilmember Lhotka inquired if there was any type of estimate for this project. The Director of Public Works stated that he could give no estimate at this time other than the fact that it would be an expensive project. RESOLUTION NO. 87 -16 Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1987 -03, INSTALLATION OF A WATER MAIN FROM LIONS PARK TO THE INTERSECTION OF COUNTY ROAD 10 AND SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY, ORDERING PREPARATION OF A REPORT THEREON, AND APPROVING AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TO CONDUCT A SOILS INVESTIGATION RELATING THERETO 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 Amending the 1987 General Fund Budget. He noted this resolution provides funds for replacing a camera and 30 sets of turnout gear for the Fire Department. RESOLUTION NO. 87 -17 Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION AMENDING THE 1987 GENERAL FUND BUDGET The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Bill Hawes, and the motion passed unanimously. ON -SALE CLUB LICENSE - DUOOS BROTHERS AMERICAN LEGION Mayor Nyquist stated that he feels the Club still has some various problems, and that he would not be comfortable giving his approval this evening. Mayor Nyquist then recognized Gary Flakne, attorney for the Duoos Brothers American Legion Club. Mr. Flakne stated that the Club did meet to form rules and make changes which were requested by the Council. He stated that he was aware of the Mayor's recommendation to table the item until the January 26, 1987 Council meeting. He noted that the Club would like to urge the Council to take action on this item this evening, because the problem was becoming financially devastating to the Club. He stated that if the item were laid over, the Club would request that the January 26, 1987 Council meeting be the last meeting at which this license is discussed. Councilmember Lhotka stated that he would still like to see some specifics regarding who will be held accountable for the actions of the Club and the bar committee. He also stated that he would like to see something more than a verbal agreement from the Osseo Post regarding their assistance in this matter. 1 -12 -87 -10- Mr. Flakne stated that generally it is not a policy that clubs contract with each other. He noted that members of the Osseo Post have agreed to assist the Duoos Brothers, but that the Osseo Post has made no such agreement. Councilmember Theis stated that he would like to see a copy of the Osseo Post's rules and regulations and was surprised they were not included in this evening's packet. A discussion then ensued regarding the rules of operation for liquor establishments and whether these rules were in the bylaws of the Post or not. Mr. Flakne stated that he had received a copy of the bylaws from the Osseo Post, but had been requested not to give these out. Councilmember Theis inquired if the liquor rules were in the bylaws. Mr. Flakne stated there were some items in the bylaws dealing with the liquor operation, and that if the Osseo Post has written rules regarding the operation for liquor establishments he would attempt to get them for Council review. Councilmember Scott noted that she had received calls from members over the weekend who stated they were concerned regarding this problem and membership of nonveterans. She stated that she would like to see a list of all members with their dates of service included. She added that she would like to know who oversees the membership of the Club. Mayor Nyquist recognized Earl Swenson, Chairman of the Housing Committee, who stated that when a new member signs up his serial number and dates of service are checked with the government. Mr. Flakne pointed out that membership is allowed for nonveterans under the Sons of the American Legion. Councilmember Lhotka inquired if the committee was aware of what the Council was looking for. Mayor Nyquist recognized Jerry Barron, Adjutant for the Duoos Brothers American Legion, who stated he was not sure of what Councilmember Theis was looking for. Councilmember Theis stated that he wanted to see in writing an organized method of running this liquor establishment. Mr. Barron inquired if he was looking for accountability controls, and Councilmember Theis responded affirmatively. Councilmember Scott stated that she would like to see this whole matter cleared up as much as the Club does, and that she feels that it is important for the Council to know who is going to be responsible for each item. Councilmember Hawes stated that he was hurt and disappointed that something of this nature happened again at the Club. He noted that he felt if any such incidents occurred at the Club again he could -never approve another license for the Duoos Brothers American Legion Club. There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka to table action on the on -sale Club liquor license for the Duoos Brothers American Legion until the January 26, 1987 City Council meeting. DISCUSSION ITEMS YEAR 2000 ISSUE NO. 12 The City Manager stated that the Human Rights Commission has recommended some guidelines for evaluating new social and human resource service needs for the City. He noted that the policy includes general guidelines to assist the City 1 -12 -87 -11- in dealing with human service contribution requests. Mayor Nyquist inquired if, when setting priorities for human service needs the needs of Brooklyn Center would be considered. The City Manager responded affirmatively. Councilmember Theis inquired if this policy would become part of the budget process. The City Manager stated that if he were to receive any requests for funding he would bring this request before the Council, who in turn would refer the request to the Human Rights Commission for their needs assessment. There was a motion by Councilmember Theis and seconded by Councilmember Scott to instruct staff to utilize the policy recommended by the Human Rights Commission. GAMBLING LICENSE FOR BROOKLYN CENTER LIONS The City Manager briefly reviewed the memorandums prepared for this item, and noted that as in the past if the Council has any objections to this license they should be raised now or the State will renew the gambling license. Councilmember Scott stated that she would like to congratulate the Lions Club on their success. Councilmember Theis stated that he was also happy with the Lions Club success, but noted that he had one concern. He stated that he is concerned with the fact that the Lions may have tied up the only locations available for this type of operation. Mayor Nyquist inquired if it would be possible to document the Police Department costs associated with this operation. The City Manager stated that during the past year approximately one quarter of a work year was spent on this operation. He noted that staff expects less time to be spent in the future, because the problems associated with starting an operation of this type have been taken care of. Councilmember Lhotka inquired if a policy for other organizations has been developed. The City Manager stated that staff is currently working on this project. There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Theis to direct the City Manager to prepare a draft policy regarding other, organizations and their operation of charitable gambling at liquor license locations by April 1, 1987. The motion passed unanimously. There was a motion by Councilmember Theis and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka not to object to the renewal of the off -site gambling license for the Lions Club.
