CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS 1993 PROPOSED PROJECT SCHEDULE The City Manager presented the 1993 proposed capital improvements project schedule. The Director of Public Works reviewed the history of the Capital Improvements Program and explained it was developed in 1991 primarily by the Public Works Department. He further explained he would be reviewing three areas of the Capital Improvements Program: 1. Status report and discussion of projects scheduled for 1993. 2. Review of each of the studies and programs that were ongoing in the Public Works Department that will result in the future capital improvements needs. He explained this discussion would be on a very preliminary basis. 3. He also explained there would be more time and ability this year for everyone to be involved in the capital improvements process. The Director of Public Works reviewed the current projects starting with the 69th Avenue North project. He reported the fill section through Palmer Lake may not be ready for the new road this year and may require two additional lifts. He stated he would be able to provide a definite analysis in approximately one month. He also stated the City will be taking bids for the landscaping on March 31. 3/15/93 - 1 - I The Director of Public Works reported Lift Station No. 2 was 99.9 percent complete. Councilmember Scott reported she had been told a number of times how nice the new lift station was. The Director of Public Works reported on the status of the stormwater pond at I -694 and Brooklyn Boulevard. He stated staff had received good input from the neighbors regarding the overall stormwater pond and the MTC Park & Ride facility. He also informed Council one resident was trying to organize a petition against the Park &Ride facility; however, the people in the immediate area were very receptive to a stormwater pond. He stated the City would need a Corps of Engineers permit to build the stormwater pond. He did not recommend purchasing the land until the permit was obtained. He reported the MTC had indicated it had an approved budget for the Park & Ride facility. Councilmember Rosene was concerned about the preservation of wetlands. The Director of Public Works assured him the wetlands would be preserved. He showed the Council three sketches illustrating alternative ways to incorporate the stormwater pond and the MTC Park & Ride facility. The Director of Public Works reviewed the following capital improvement projects with the Council: PROJECTS CURRENT STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Water Utility Improvements - 69th Avenue Water Main Defer to 1994 or later - 2MG Reservoir & Pumping Station Deferred, with water restr. - Loop Water Main at Lawrence Circle Proceed in 1993 - Replace Water Main in Aldrich Court Proceed in 1993 - Routine Well Maintenance Proceed in 1993 - Cathodic Protection Develop RFP in 1993 Sanitary Sewer Utility Improvements - Lift #1 Rehabilitation, replace forcemain Defer to 1994 or 1995 - Sewer Replacement @ 69th Avenue to Lift Defer to 1994 or 1995 Station #1 - Storm Drainage Utility Improvements - Repair or Replace Defective Sections of Proceed in 1993 System - Stormwater pond - Brooklyn Boulevard/I -694 Acquire property in 1993 3/15/93 -2- Sidewalk & Trail Improvements Twin Lakes Trail System -- staff will provide Submit applications for a report to Council at the March 22, 1993, funding City Council meeting Sidewalk - 73rd Avenue, Humboldt to T.H. Under discussion with 252 -- may require full street in 1994/94 Brooklyn Park improvement. Park Improvements Playground equipment re replacement: two year Proceed on schedule Yg p Y Councilmember Rosene recommended adding playground equipment to Marlin Park. The City Manager reminded Council many area residents did not want playground equipment in the park in the first place and would probably not want to add more. He reported Northport and Freeway Park were scheduled for playground equipment this year. The Director of Public Works reported the Public Works Coordinator was working to develop a complete inventory of all park facilities, including buildings and equipment, at each of the parks. He said this study would include the condition of the buildings and the equipment. PROJECTS CURRENT STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Public Building Improvements - City Hall Need direction - Community Center Need direction - Fire Stations Need direction - City Garage Need direction - ADA Compliance Need direction The Director of Public Work d staff 1 Works state sta would need direction fr m n o Council, and staff would be providing Council with recommendations after the ADA Compliance and Air Quality study were complete. He stated it would be an expensive project just to meet minimum requirements. PROJECTS CURRENT STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Street Improvements - Sealcoating Proceed in 1993 Neighborhood Street Improvement Program Proceed in 1993 Landscaping Co. Rd. 10 Streetscape Defer to 1994 3/15/93 -3- CURRENT STUDIES AND PROGRAMS The Director of Public Works reviewed the following Current Studies and Programs: - ADA Compliance Program - Air Quality Study - Brookdale Stormwater Planning Study - Brooklyn Boulevard Study - Government Building Service Contract - Neighborhood Street Improvement Program - Park Building and Facility Inventory and Maintenance Program - Pavement Management Program - Mn/DOT Plans for TH 100 Improvements - Mn/DOT Plans for I -694 Improvements - Brooklyn Boulevard to I -94 - Transportation System Study wBrooklyn Park - Twin Lakes Trail Study - Local Water Management Plan Development The Director of Public Works stated the transportation study will show a reconstruction concept to improve the level of transportation service on Brooklyn Boulevard from a current level of E or F, to a level C or D. Mayor Paulson asked if Brooklyn Park's transportation study conflicted with Brooklyn Center's. The Director of Public Works answered he thought both cities could come up with a very good compromise between transportation needs and land use /redevelopment and enhancement concepts. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROCESS The City Manager presented the proposed capital improvement process for 1993. He explained the process starts during March /April and continues through September. Councilmember Kalligher asked if Council would receive a preliminary report after the third week of April. The Public Works Coordinator answered yes. Mayor Paulson recommended Council meet in the Spring at a work session to review capital improvement recommendations. Councilmember Kalligher stated the Council should meet only after the various commissions had reviewed the preliminary report and made their recommendations. The City Manager agreed the Council should meet at a work session after the recommendations are received from the commissions. Mayor Paulson suggested the matter be put on the City Council agenda in May to review the recommendations from the commissions. Mayor Paulson stated he would like the opportunity to make capital improvement recommendations during the preliminary stage. The City Manager agreed to prepare a preliminary list for Council's review and recommendations. Councilmember Rosene suggested staff prepare a map of the City with color highlights indicating what improvements are going on in the City. The Director of Public Works agreed to provide a current list of all projects. 3/15/93 -4- ORGANIZATION ANALYSISBENCHMARKING The City Manager asked Council what they expect to come out of the Financial Commission in terms of answering questions and addressing issues about which the Council had concerns. He offered the following list of questions and asked if these were the type of questions Council wanted the Financial Commission to address as part of the organization analysis: 1. Cutting costs (staff) by "X" amount of dollars (this may have been addressed in the prioritization process). 2. Evaluate ratios of management and supervision to line personnel. 3. Evaluate levels of service. 4. Evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the delivering of services. 5. Evaluate services. 6. Is the Council interested in additional services we currently do not provide? 7. Evaluate organizational structure in light of the need to meet the future issues or the accelerated pace of change. 8. Other. Mayor Paulson stated he did not think Council needed to think in terms of personnel cuts or additions. He stressed there were ways to use the resources the City already had and get more for the dollar. He stated the Council must use opportunities to promote the City's facilities such as the waterslide. The City Manager agreed and stated as part of this process staff will develop some of these opportunities. The Public Works Coordinator asked if the Council's desire was to look at the various departments as if from scratch with a zero -based budget. Mayor Paulson agreed this was what he was looking for. The Director of Public Works stated Council was really trying to define levels of service in terms of dollars and cents, and this was a really subjective approach. He reminded Council the new accounting system that was established last year would provide information on what each existing program is costing the City. Mayor Paulson stated there may be a gap between what the City is doing now and what it should be costing. The Public Works Coordinator explained her research on benchmarking. She stated there are basically two ways to benchmark. She said one way was time management which was very costly, and the other was to compare the City to other cities. Mayor Paulson stated he was concerned with the levels of management. He questioned whether there are too many supervisors. 3/15/93 - 5 - The Public Works Director explained a lot was learned from the prioritization process last year. He suggested working with the prioritization process with emphasis on coordination. He felt this was more productive than benchmarking and zero - balance budgeting. Mayor Paulson stated Council and Staff must look at how the City could be even better. He recommended empowering the employees to do their job as they know best. The Director of Public Works stated the Public Works Department had been decreasing its supervisory staff, not increasing. He stated spending a lot of money to get deeply into benchmarking would be counterproductive. Councilmember Scott recalled the Robbinsdale School District had conducted a time and motion study to see what each employee was doing. She reported production went down while the study was being conducted because the employees were not allowed to freely perform their job without being asked why they were doing it. She stated the district discovered it had wasted a lot of money. She explained the employees know best what needs to be done and how to do it. The Director of Public Works noted the Public Works Department has organized and operated quality circles during the past eight or nine years. He said by using quality circles, the employees are able to discuss their jobs with other employees to learn how to make everyone's job more efficient. The Public Works Coordinator reported the Data Processing Committee, consisting of a member from each department, had met to discuss how data moves around the City. She said the committee discovered better, more efficient ways to move the data through the various departments. Mayor Paulson agreed employees need to be challenged to do things better. The City Manager stated from the discussion he would develop a list of questions or preliminary report to give to Council for direction. LEGISLATIVE UPDATE The City Manager reported St. Paul was applying for a one -half cent city sales tax. He asked Council if the opportunity presents itself, would they want to tag onto the bill. Councilmember Kalligher asked what such a tax would be used for. The City Manager answered for commercial development such as Brooklyn Boulevard improvements, apartment buy out program, and the single - family home buy out program. The City Manager asked if the Council would prefer to have a referendum, or they could levy a franchise tax. He also offered to have the Financial Director look at just what the amount of gain would be. He also reported he was working with Representatives Luther and Carruthers to obtain a grant from the State for additional apartment buy outs. Councilmember Rosene offered to work with the City Manager on the one -half cent tax. The City Manager agreed to provide a copy of the bill, once it was available. He asked if 3/15/93 -6- the Council would support tagging onto the bill and offered to provide more information as soon as it is available. He recommended holding public hearings rather than a referendum. Mayor Paulson stated he would like a referendum. Councilmember Scott stated this would not be like the restaurant and motel tax. She explained this would be taxing the people who use the City's commercial centers which cause the City to provide extra services. Councilmember Rosene asked Councilmember Scott if she felt the citizens would approve. Councilmember Scott answered she would like to look into this bill further and would like to keep the City's options open. The City Manager recommended going without a referendum on this. He stated this should be up to the elected officials to make responsible decisions, and he did not want the State to dictate the City use a referendum. Councilmember Scott reminded Council the State had mandated so many programs to the cities, but it had not given the cities any way to fund these programs. She also stated this was the fairest kind of tax you can have because it spreads it out over the most people. Councilmember Rosene explained how the Star Tribune had solicited opinions on its comics, and asked if the City could possibly designate two phone lines for citizens to call and give their opinion on a one -half cent sales tax. The City Manager recommended a telephone survey as a better way to solicit citizen's opinions.

The paragraph would be corrected to read: Councilmember Mann asked if the City had a 20 -year program set. The City Manager explained this was what the City was starting. Councilmember Mann stated it was more logical to go with areas A and B then. Councilmember Rosene asked if the City could do both A and B. The City Manager answered the City could, but staff wanted to handle just one area the first year to assure staff can cover the job.

PRESENTATIONS BROOKLYN CENTER JOB RETENTIONBUSINESS EXPANSION PROGRAM The City Manager presented Mr. Netwal of the Community Resource Partnership, Inc. He explained Mr. Netwal would update the Council on the current status of the business retention /job expansion program which had been jointly undertaken by the cities of Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, and Blaine. Mr. Netwal explained he had grown up in Brooklyn Center, and he took extra pride in his work for Brooklyn Center. He stated there had already been benefits with the business retention /job expansion program. He added the program conveyed the City's interest in the business community. He further added the surveys indicated a number of "red flags" for the City to investigate such as pot holes in front of the businesses and city ordinances that pose a particular problem for a business. He explained one of the red flag issues was power outages experienced by one company, and after checking with other companies, it was discovered other companies in the area were having the same problem. He further explained NSP had been notified and was investigating the problem. Mr. Netwal stated a significant result of the survey was the ability to match the business community needs with other already existing businesses in the community providing those needed services. He added a number of companies had also requested specific training from the community colleges, and the colleges were actively approaching these companies to work on a program. Mr. Netwal explained over 500 businesses had been interviewed with approximately one -third being Brooklyn Center businesses. He summarized the benefits of the program: 1. Positive image of City's concern. 2. City staff was made aware of problems businesses are experiencing. 3. Access to community colleges and Chamber of Commerce. 4. Sense of community. 3/22/93 -5 - Mayor Paulson asked if all the materials were available to the Councilmembers. The City Manager answered everything was available, and when it had been summarized, it would be presented to the Council. He added this was just an update on the program. Mayor Paulson asked if all the information would be public information. Mr. Netwal answered the compiled data would be public but certain company information was private and must be protected. Councilmember Scott asked if there would be a simplified, short version of the results of the surveys. Mr. Netwal answered yes and there would be an unlimited number of reports which could be developed from the surveys. Councilmember Kalligher asked when the summary would be completed. Mr. Netwal answered the entire project was a three -year project. He added they had now completed the bulk of the manufacturing companies, and the task force would probably need four to six months to complete a report on the manufacturing businesses. He continued in the meantime they would also be working on the warehousing and retail businesses. The City Manager explained the Minnesota Department of Economic Development had some standards, and it also has data privacy requirements which the program had been careful to follow. Mayor Paulson asked what would result from this program. Mr. Netwal answered a series of recommendations from the task force to help encourage business within the community. Mayor Paulson asked who would develop the marketing plans. Mr. Netwal answered that would be determined by the Council and staff. He added Community Resource Partnership would be making recommendations and actually the data would point its own direction. He continued that the City would make judgments on how it wanted to get involved. Mayor Paulson asked who owned the data after the study was completed. The City Manager answered the three communities would own the data as regulated by the Data Privacy Act. Mayor Paulson asked about the data at Community Resource Partnership. Mr. Netwal answered he did not know what use they would have for it. Mayor Paulson asked if Community Resource Partnership had a budget for 1993. Sarah Nelson stated she would be happy to supply the Council with a budget for 1993. She added the plan was to continue to keep the data updated after the study was complete. Councilmember Rosene stated he had been criticized for hiring Community Resource Partnership by a citizen who believed the same information was available from the Minnesota Department of Economic Development. He asked if Community Resource Partnership had availed themselves of whatever information was available. Mr. Netwal answered that Community Resource Partnership had been working with the Minnesota Department of Economic Development and had actually been providing them with 3/22/93 -6- information and they were very appreciative. He added the Department of Economic Development was very supportive of this project. Councilmember Rosene asked if the Department of Economic Development was able to provide any helpful information. Mr. Netwal answered yes they provided preliminary input on the manufacturing survey and also with some training tools. He added Community Resource Partnership had also been cooperating with the State on this project. Councilmember Rosene asked if this sort of survey had been done in other areas in the State. Councilmember Scott answered in other areas of the nation, but not as intensive. Mr. Netwal explained the "Star Cities" in Minnesota must complete a similar survey on about ten to fifteen of its major companies. The City Manager stated the need for training had been the most productive result of the survey. Councilmember Rosene asked if Mr. Netwal had asked the businesses how they would like to see the information used. Mr. Netwal answered not specifically but a number of the businesses requested they be informed of the results, and Community Resource Partnership would provide them with newsletter updates and a synopsis of the final report. He also suggested using the Chamber of Commerce as a forum to share the information with the business community. Mr. Netwal further stated the manufacturing task force, which is made up of manufacturers, was addressing that very question. Councilmember Rosene asked who representatives from Brooklyn Center were on the task force. Mr. Netwal answered Thoren Horn and Wally Watinson. Mayor Paulson asked Sarah Nelson what relationship this project had with the North Metro Mayors Association. Ms. Nelson answered there was no direct relationship. She added she was an employee of North Metro Mayors Association and anything else she did was on her own time. Mayor Paulson thanked Community Resource Partnership for their presentation. PUBLIC HEARING PUBLIC HEARING 1993 (YEAR XIX) URBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM AND RESOLUTION APPROVING YEAR XIX URBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM The City Manager stated the required public hearing for the proposed use of Year XIX Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds was scheduled this evening for 7:30 p.m. He added the City's CDBG allocation for Year XIX (July 1993 to July 1994) was $235,627 which was slightly greater than the Year XVIII of $217,491. 3/22/93 - 7 - The Community Development Specialist reviewed the CDBG requests and recommendations for Year XIX as follows: 1. Rehabilitation of Private Property: He explained this was a continuation of the City's home rehabilitation deferred loan program. He also added there was a waiting list of 65 people for this program. 2. Household Outside Maintenance for the Elderly (H.O.M.E.) Program: He explained the program provides for minor home maintenance and repair for persons 60 years of age and over or for disabled persons. 3. Scattered Site Redevelopment: He explained this activity provides for the continuation of the acquisition and demolition of blighted residential properties in the City. 4. Business Retention Study: He explained this allocation provided for a continuation of the business retention study. 5. Public Facilities Project for Head Start Program: He stated this activity would provide for the City of Brooklyn Center's share of a project to remodel the old Brooklyn Park City Hall for use by Head Start and other early childhood services. He added this was a one -time contribution to the project and operating dollars for the program would be obtained from state and federal sources. He further added the implementating agency for the project would be Parents in Community Action. He also added the project was being coordinated through the Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council. The Community Development Specialist stated in addition to the above - listed projects, City staff had received a request from Community Action for Suburban Hennepin for $2,645 from CDBG funds to support their housing services in fiscal year 1994. He added staff was not recommending this allocation as the service would only be eligible if it was established to be a benefit to low- to moderate-income persons. o p so ns. Mayor Paulson asked what category business retention would come. The Community Development Specialist answered the economic development portion, as the project could be linked to rovidin retention of employment for moderate-income n esos. P g P r Mary Bock, representative from Parents in Community Action, addressed the Council. She stated the City of Brooklyn Park had been very generous to donate its old city hall for the program. She explained the program now needs the money to renovate the building. Mayor Paulson asked if more children from Brooklyn Center would be served at this new facility. Ms. Bock explained when the facility in Brooklyn Park was opened, it would be full and they would be seeking additional space. She further explained the program would be serving 360 children from suburban Hennepin County this year. 3/22/93 - 8 - Councilmember Scott asked what happened now with the Cities of Maple Grove and Plymouth who were refusing to pay their share of the funding. Ms. Bock answered she did not know, but she hoped these cities would still come on board. She further explained the children from these communities would be served regardless. Councilmember Rosene asked for the exact status of the funding from Maple Grove and Plymouth. Ms. Bock answered Plymouth had tabled the matter pending further study. She said they had since visited the facility and their major concern was with the location. She added the matter was still pending in Maple Grove, and she hoped they would come on board. Councilmember Kalligher asked why Golden Valley had allocated less funds than requested. Ms. Bock answered Golden Valley felt a smaller number of children from Golden Valley were served. Councilmember Rosene noted Osseo had allocated more than requested and asked why. Ms. Bock explained Philip Cohen had worked with each city, and she did not know why but he might. Mayor Paulson explained he was on the site selection committee and asked Ms. Bock to explain to the Council the reason this site was selected. Ms. Bock stated the selection of that facility from the other options presented had mainly to do with licensing ability of the facility by the State. She added the old Brooklyn Park City Hall was nearly ideal in terms of meeting those guidelines. She further added it was offered to the program for $1 per year on an unlimited basis. She also stated the largest concentration of children from Y g was m o Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park. Mayor Paulson asked if the children would have the same door -to -door service. Ms. Bock answered yes, they would provide the same door -to -door transportation regardless of where the families live. Mayor Paulson thanked Ms. Bock for her presentation. Mayor Paulson opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing to consider the 1993 (Year XIX) Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant Program and Resolution Approving Year XIX Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant Program at 8:05 p.m. He inquired if there was anyone present who wished to address the Council, no one appeared to speak, and he entertained a motion to close the public hearing. There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Kalligher to close the public hearing at 8:05 p.m. The motion passed unanimously. 3/22/93 - 9 - Councilmember Mann asked if the $2,053 expended for the H.O.M.E. program was expended in year XVIII. The Community Development Specialist answered yes. n it Cou c memb r e Mann inquired if the program was being reduced b q P g g Y$ , 000 The Community Development Specialist answered yes, and he believed the amount would be adequate for year XIX. n it Cou c memb r e Kalligher asked what happened to any money left over at the end of the year. The Community Development Specialist answered this had not previously happened. He suggested if the amount was less than $10,000, the Council could amend the resolution and place the money into the Home Rehabilitation Program or it would be recycled back into the program but the County would then take a cut. Councilmember Kalligher asked how residents are informed of the program. The Community Development Specialist answered an ad had been placed in the City newsletter and the Earle Brown Neighborhood newsletter, and he also planned to go to senior meetings to announce it there. Councilmember Rosene stated he regretted the Community Action for Suburban Hennepin was in need of money; however, the Council was not in the habit of granting requests presented directly to the Council. He explained such a request must first go through one of the City's commissions such as the Housing Commission or the Human Rights and Resources Commission for evaluation. He recommended waiting on this request until next year. Mayor Paulson thought this was a good point and agreed the request should be forwarded to one of the commissions. He explained the other programs, with the exception of the Business Retention Program, had been reviewed by various commissions. The Community Development Specialist explained the Community Action for Suburban Hennepin was really the only one that had not been on the table. Mayor Paulson recommended the Community Action for Suburban Hennepin request and the Business Retention Program go through one of the City's commissions for review. He explained the Council had received a good presentation on the Business Retention Program, but he wanted to know more about what would develop from the program and the exact budget for 1993. He added he also wanted to know who would own the data after the study was complete. He suggested the Human Rights and Resources Commission review these two programs and added he was comfortable with the other programs. Councilmember Kalligher asked when the Council had to finalize the Community Development Block Grant Program for year XIX. The Community Development Specialist answered the program o ram must be submitted to the County b Aril 15 1993. P g tY Y P 3/22/93 - 10- Mayor Paulson asked if the City could amend the budget during the course of the year. The Community Development Specialist answered yes. The Director of Community Development stated the City had the option to amend the program during the course of the year. RESOLUTION NO. 93 -48 Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION APPROVING PROPOSED PROGRAM FOR YEAR XIX URBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS AND AUTHORIZING ITS SUBMITTAL Councilmember Scott requested this resolution include h Business Retention o e t e ss Study Y and eliminate the request from Community Action for Suburban Hennepin and then refer the Community Action for Suburban Hennepin request to the Human Rights and Resources Commission for further study and also to look at what the City would expect from the Business Retention Program. Councilmember Scott stated the Business Retention Program had progressed further than she had anticipated. She added the results would not only benefit the business community but also the people of the community. She continued to add she thought it would accomplish what the Council wanted. She stated it was her understanding the data would be owned by the three communities who had commissioned the study with the exception of those facts protected by the Data privacy Act. Mayor Paulson stated these facts were not enough for him to allocate $30,000. He stated he thought in the past these types of requests had come through other processes before funds were allocated. He added he did think the City needed to do something in the business retention area. He suggested talking to the Chamber of Commerce to set up business town meetings to receive input from the businesses in the community. Councilmember Mann stated she was also concerned about the allocation of $30,000 to the Business Retention Program. She added she did believe the Council should request the CDBG funds now and if, after review by the Human Rights & Resources Commission, the Council decided not to fund these programs, the money could be distributed to the other programs. Councilmember Scott agreed if the Human Rights & Resources Commission did not approve, the Council could allocate the funds to another program. The Community Development Specialist stated the dollars for year XIX could not be spent until July 1993. Mayor Paulson added the Council should have a determination from the Human Rights & Resources Commission by then. The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Barb Kalligher, and the motion passed unanimously. 3/22/93 - 11 - DISCUSSION ITEMS CITY ENGINEER'S FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR NEIGHBORHOOD STREET IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM The City Manager presented the City Engineer's feasibility report regarding the proposed Neighborhood Street Improvement Program in the Southeast neighborhood. He explained the feasibility report reviewed the existing conditions and recommended street, utility, street lighting, landscaping, and other improvements in the area bounded by Logan Avenue to the west and 4th Street to the east, between 53rd and 55th Avenues. The Director of Public Works explained there were three resolutions provided for Council consideration: one amending special assessment policy; one establishing projects in the Southeast neighborhood and calling for a public hearing; and one directing staff to hold a neighborhood information meeting prior to the public hearing. He added the average age of the streets in Brooklyn Center was more than 30 years old, and the cost to maintain the streets and utilities would be more than to start a 20 -year reconstruction program. He explained in addition to the City's cost to maintain the streets, the property owners' costs would also increase due to the collapse of the sanitary sewer lines. He also added there was a need for the City to undertake programs which were intended to revitalize the City. The Director of Public Works presented a brief history of the program. He stated the proposal had been before the City Council four or five times in the last year and one -half. He added the Earle Brown Neighborhood Advisory Committee had also met several times to review this project. The City Engineer reviewed the feasibility report using overheads to show the proposed area, reviewed the proposed improvements to the sanitary sewer system, the proposed sanitary sewer improvements, and storm sewer improvements. Councilmember Kalligher asked if there were some areas without storm sewers. The City Engineer answered yes and some were so shallow they were subject to freeze /thaw and were not functional during this time of the year. Councilmember Rosene asked when the 57th Avenue project was scheduled. The City Engineer answered it was scheduled in the Capital Improvements Program for 1995. The Director of Public Works added staff must wait until the citywide Water Management Plan study is completed before proceeding with the 57th Avenue project. The City Engineer reviewed the proposed street improvements and the street lighting options. He added it was staff recommendation to purchase street lighting fixtures rather than leasing. 3/22/93 - 12- RECESS The Brooklyn Center City Council recessed at 9 p.m. and reconvened at 9:15 p.m. Mayor Paulson asked the agenda be interrupted to allow for a presentation by the Northwest Branch of the American Red Cross. Jim Ember and Jeff Halum informed Council of an upcoming Mayors Bowl -A- Cross. They asked the residents and businesses of Brooklyn Center support the American Red Cross through the Mayors Bowl -A Cross. They explained the mayor would be competing against 14 other local mayors for pledges. They stated contributions could be mailed to American Red Cross, Northwest Branch, 7601 Kentucky Avenue, Brooklyn Park, MN 55428. Councilmember Rosene asked if the contributions were to be a flat fee or per pin pledge. Mr. Ember answered residents and businesses could donate whatever amount they chose. He added the Bowl -A -Cross would take place at Spectrum Lanes in Maple Grove, Highway 494 and Bass Lake Road on May 5 at 6 p.m. The City Engineer continued his report on the landscaping/streetscaping for the study area. He reviewed boulevard tree planting, planting amenities in the right -of -way, paving surfaces, street signs, entry monuments, and other street furniture. He added the application of enhanced street signage and entry monuments appeared to be the most appropriate within the Southeast neighborhood. The City Engineer also reviewed the park improvements and sidewalk/trail improvements. He explained the neighborhood park in the Study Area was Bellvue Park. He further explained no major improvements were scheduled at this time for the park. He added several maintenance improvements could be programmed in conjunction with the neighborhood improvement project such as painting the shelter building, trimming all trees, ,removing animal swings and replacing with tot swings, and upgrading apparatus and recreational facilities in 1994. He further explained the sidewalk/trail improvements included an on- street trail along Bryant Avenue from 53rd Avenue northward. He continued to explain no sidewalk improvements were specifically proposed other than the possible replacement of damaged sections of existing sidewalk. The Public Works Coordinator reviewed the funding sources for the proposed improvements and the appraisal report of the benefits of roadway improvements upon five lots. She explained the results of these appraisals indicated in the Southeast neighborhood the amount of benefit from the proposed street improvements varies by size of lot. She explained it was current City policy to assess on a per unit basis but based on the appraiser's findings it appeared more appropriate to base an assessment policy on a front foot charge. The Public Works Coordinator presented the special assessment recommendations. She explained the recommended term would be 10 years with an interest rate of eight percent. She further explained based on an assessment of $1,512, the monthly payment the first year 3/22/93 - 13 - i would be $25, and in the tenth year the payment would be $13.50 a month. She continued to add the lighting fixtures would add approximately $1.22 per month, and landscaping would add another $.50 per month. The Public Works Coordinator explained the current assessment policy included a provision to assist senior citizens and disabled persons with payment of special assessments. She further explained the option offers limited relief to only a few property owners. She stated it was the recommendation of the report that a program of Assessment Stabilization be formally adopted ted to assist low-income homeowners y p e with payment of special assessments. She further explained the Assessment Stabilization program would provide financial assistance to homeowners whose family income was less than the HUD "lower income" guideline. She added the total cost of the program during the 20 -year period was estimated to be about $3.1 million with the annual cost, assuming a four mile improvement project, would vary but was estimated at $110,000 to $160,000. She stated it was proposed for the first year of the program the reimbursement be funded from the Local State Aid fund. She also suggested potential sources of funds for future years might be CDBG funds, franchise fees, local option sales tax, or transportation utility, if approved. Mayor Paulson explained the street improvement package was being presented to the public at this meeting, however the Council members had already attended several meetings to review these materials. Steve Swanson, 5412 Colfax Avenue, addressed the Council stating the whole subject of street improvements was absurd. He explained he had just learned of this project a week ago and had questioned h' g q o ed is neighbors in his area and they knew nothing about it either. He stated there are about ten retired people on his block and this would be very difficult for them. He also stated he was unaware of any trees growing into the sewers, and he had found no water problems during the last rain storm. He continued to state he was concerned about the installation of curb and gutters. He explained he did not know how this would improve the value of his property. He continued to explain the only way he would gain this value was if he sold his property. Councilmember Rosene asked Mr. Swanson if the primary issue was the cost. He asked if there were no assessments would he be in favor of the project. Mr. Swanson answered yes, that was the basic issue. He explained he did not experience the problems the report listed. Councilmember Rosene suggested staff spend some time with Mr. Swanson to explain the problems in his area. Mr. Swanson stated he had come to the Council meeting to receive more information. Councilmember Scott suggested the City Manager explain how staff viewed the area to see the problems. The City Manager explained the sewers had been televised and Mr. Swanson could view the area in front of his house. The Director of Public Works stated he would be happy to talk one on one with Mr. Swanson and answer his questions. 3/22/93 - 14- Councilmember Rosene asked the City Engineer about the practice of replacing sections of pipe with different sized pipe. The City Engineer answered all of the sections proposed to be replaced begin and end at manholes and they would adjust for the sizes there. Councilmember Rosene asked about the proposal to deepen the sanitary sewer and if that would meet the maximum depth too soon. The City Engineer answered they would work the preliminary grades backwards and it would be a compromise between the adopted engineering standards and what was there now. Councilmember Scott stated the Assessment Stabilization program was a wonderful idea. She asked if the program was established and the City could not afford to finance in the future, what would the City do. She suggested scaling back the program unless the City Manager thought the program could be financed in the future. The City Manager stated that was an excellent question but over time he believed it would be a reasonable plan. He warned if Council scaled back too far on this, then Council would have to be consistent in the future. Councilmember Scott again stated she thought it was a fantastic program but she wanted residents to be treated equally. She added she did not think it paid to try to patch the streets or utilities anymore. Councilmember Rosene agreed with Councilmember Scott and the City Manager as an overall investment in value, the City needed to do this. He suggested CDBG funds could conceivably be used for the Assessment Stabilization program in the future. He stated he would like to try to see if the costs could be defrayed even more. He explained some residents simply do not have enough money to fund this program. He stated the City was on a 20 -year cycle for street improvements and yet the present streets have lasted 30 years. He asked why the City would want to replace the streets every 20 years. The Director of Public Works answered the City was 10 years late in starting the streets on a 20 -year program. The City Manager added some of the streets last longer than 20 years but generally the maintenance becomes very extensive. Councilmember Kalligher asked if the assessments could be stretched out over a 20 -year pay -back. The Director of Public Works answered the Council could make that choice but the numbers would not change much because of the amount of interest paid. The City Manager offered to provide information on a 20 -year pay -back program. Mayor Paulson asked if it was necessary to vote on the three resolutions tonight and instead hold a public hearing as a staff recommendation. He explained he did not want to go into the public hearing with Councils' minds already made up. He suggested a motion accepting staff's presentation on the Assessment Stabilization program rather than approving the concept or the approach. The City Manager explained staff was asking for direction so they can be specific with the public. He further explained staff needed some specificity to get to that point. He added he understood and appreciated Council's concern, but staff would have to have specific direction before holding the public hearing. 2 - 3/ 2/93 15 - I RESOLUTION NO. 93 -49 Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION AMENDING SPECIAL ASSESSMENT POLICY REGARDING STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Dave Rosene. The Director of Public Works explained for the record that Council was including the establishment of the Assessment Stabilization program and the proposed maximum frontage assessed to be 70 feet. Councilmember Kalligher stressed to the citizens the Council wanted their input and was not finalizing the street improvement program at this time. The motion passed unanimously. RESOLUTION NO. 93 -50 Member Kristen Mann introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION RECEIVING CITY ENGINEER'S FEASIBILITY REPORT; INITIATING CONSIDERATION OF IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS 1993 -02 (SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS), 1993 -03 (WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS), 1993 -04 (STORM DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS), AND 1993 -05 (STREET IMPROVEMENTS) IN AREA FROM LOGAN AVENUE NORTH TO 4TH STREET NORTH, O AND BETWEEN W EN 53RD AVENUE NORTH AND 55TH AVENUE NORTH; PROPOSING A FINANCING PLAN FOR SUCH IMPROVEMENTS AND CALLING A HEARING THEREON The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Celia Scott, and the motion passed unanimously. i The Director of Public Works explained the date recommended for the public hearing P P g was Thursday, April 22, 1993, at Constitution Hall. He noted, based on staff's presentation to the City Council, the proposed improvements would include installation of new street lighting Alternate 2 and a $25,000 allocation for streetscape improvements resulting in an estimated special assessment rate of $25.65 per front foot. He further explained staff was recommending a public information meeting be held at the Brooklyn Center High School Auditorium on Wednesday, April 7, 1993. Councilmember Kalligher asked when the public announcements would be going out. The Director of Public Works answered on March 25, 26, or 29, 1993. He further explained a separate mailing would follow the information meeting with a survey so people will have an 3/22/93 - 16 - opportunity to review the materials sent in the mail and to attend the information meeting prior to the public hearing. The Public Works Coordinator provided Council with a draft copy that would be sent out. Councilmember Scott complimented the Public Works Coordinator on a very excellent information package. Mayor Paulson stated he would like the resolution to include the City would be doing a survey. He stated the survey should mention there would be a special assessment and should state in bold type: should the Council approve a project on your street at this time. He added the survey should include do you support or oppose a project on your street that would include a special assessment at this time and allow a space for comments. Mayor Paulson asked the following language be added to the resolution: BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that staff are hereby directed to mail a survey to potentially assessed residents the morning after the information meeting held on April 7, 1993. The survey expresses the support or opposition to the project and any special assessments. The Director of Public Works suggested the language be changed to read: BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that no later than April 8, 1993, staff are hereby directed to mail a survey to property owners who are proposed to be assessed. The survey form shall provide an opportunity for property owners to express support or opposition to the project and special assessments. RESOLUTION NO. 93 -51 Member Todd Paulson introduced the following resolution as amended and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION DIRECTING CITY STAFF TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC INFORMATIONAL MEETING RELATING TO PROPOSED PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS 1993 -02, 1993 -03, 1993 -04 AND 1993 -05 The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Celia Scott, and the motion passed unanimously. JOINT PUBLIC SAFETY DISPATCH SERVICES STUDY The City Manager presented the joint public safety dispatch services study and explained the cities of Brooklyn Center, Crystal, Golden Valley, New Hope, and Robbinsdale had joined together to study the possibilities of operating a joint public safety dispatching facility. He further explained three options of joint dispatching had come out of the cooperative effort: 3/22/93 - 17- 1. Change to Hennepin County Sheriff's Department for dispatching services. 2. Build and operate an independent Five -City Joint Dispatch Facility. 3. Remain the same -- make no change. Mayor Paulson suggested Council review this matter after the City Manager and Police Chief had an opportunity to further discuss this with all concerned parties. The Police Chief explained staff was recommending option 1 and was asking Council make a motion indicating its preference for this option and directing staff to continue to work with the five city Joint Dispatch Committee in developing a plan of implementation. He further explained staff would also look at the feasibility of a joint dispatch cooperative effort with another area city if one was interested. He added staff was not looking for a decision tonight. Mayor Paulson stated it was worthwhile to pursue option 1 and it should be further investigated. He explained there was changing technology which made it worthwhile to look into. He added he expected the Police Chief to be an advocate for change and bring such change to the Council. He recommended a motion to table to next meeting and directing staff to meet with dispatchers and others concerned. The City Manager agreed it was the intent of staff to do this in the next stage of the process. He asked if Council wanted staff to proceed with the investigation and explained this would also include the Fire Department and Public Works Department. Councilmember Scott stated she would like to look into clusters as she had a problem with the County system. The City Manager explained the 800 megahertz would affect Brooklyn Center whether on a joint system with the County or not. He further explained it was technology that was on the horizon. He said staff would evaluate a cluster, but after initial investigation, it looked like the smaller the dispatch center the larger the cost. Councilmember Scott reminded Council when the County took over the jailing facility, the cost went up every year. Councilmember Mann also liked the idea of a clustering group. Councilmember Kalligher agreed it was the wish of the Council to look into a cluster of cities for dispatching services. There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Kalligher indicating preference to build and operate an independent, cluster -type joint dispatch facility and the continuation of working with the Joint Dispatch Committee in developing a plan of implementation. The City Manager asked if Council was excluding the County option. Mayor Paulson stated he would like to look at all options and bring back to the Council. Councilmember Scott agreed it was not a problem to include the County as part of the examination. 3/22/93 - 18 - Councilmember Rosene asked if it would be appropriate in the motion to mention the majority of the Council preferred the cluster rather than the County option. He explained it was good to have open options, but they are not being viewed equally at this point. The motion passed unanimously. ADMINISTRATIVE TRAFFIC COMMITTEE REPORT RE: PURCHASE OF SMART UNIT The City Manager presented the Administrative Traffic Committee Report regarding the purchase of SMART unit. He explained the unit had been recommended for purchase by the City's Administrative Traffic Committee and Council requested staff investigate the possibility of joint purchase of this unit with one or more other jurisdictions. He further explained the committee had reviewed Council's request. He added the Police Chief recommended Brooklyn Center purchase the unit and be responsible for its maintenance but make it available on a rental basis to other jurisdictions. RESOLUTION NO. 93 -52 Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING PROPOSAL FOR SPEED MONITORING AWARENESS TRAILER (SMART) The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Dave Rosene, and the motion passed unanimously. LEGISLATIVE UPDATE The City Manager presented the legislative update highlighting the correspondence in support of Representative Myron Orfield's Metropolitan Stability Legislation. COUNTY PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENT PETITIONS IMPACT ON 1993 BUDGET The City Manager presented the County property tax abatement petitions impact on 1993 budget. He explained a significant number of appeals were backlogged and had been stipulated and /or tried but refunds had not yet been issued. He further explained there may be additional refunds affecting the last half property tax settlement from Hennepin County. Councilmember Scott stated the Financial Commission was the proper place for this to go at this time. There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Rosene to direct staff to develop options for dealing with this shortfall, review them with the Financial Commission, and report back to the City Council. The motion passed unanimously. 3/22/93 - 19 - ADJOURNMENT There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Kalligher to adjourn the meeting. The motion passed unanimously.

RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION Present plaque to Charlie Hansen. CITY OF DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE (AMEMOI ) B ROOKLYN CENTER TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager FROM: Paul W. Holmlund, Director of Finance QvJt� DATE: March 26, 1993 SUBJECT: CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT FOR EXCELLENCE IN FINANCIAL REPORTING I am forwarding a Certificate of Achievement plaque which should be presented to Charlie Hansen. The plaque is presented by the Government Finance Officers Association to award the City for qualifying for a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for its comprehensive annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 1991. The plaque arrived yesterday. The Department first won the award in 1967. At that time, a report would be submitted periodically and the designation was valid indefinitely. Sometime later, the rules were changed so that a certificate became valid for a period of one year. Brooklyn Center's annual financial report has qualified for the Certificate of Achievement each year since 1983. Charlie Hansen, Assistant Finance Director, has been responsible for writing the annual report for a number of years and is primarily responsible for earning the certificate. I have also forwarded an individual award for Charlie. Of course, the award could not have been attained without the contribution of everyone in the Department and without the support and encouragement of the City Manager and the City Council. Even though this award has been earned each of the last nine years, new Council members are probably not aware of the program. Please notify the Council of the award and, if you think appropriate, present the awards to Charlie at the meeting. cc: Charlie Hansen GOVERNMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION 180 North Michigan Avenue, Suite 800, Chicago, Illinois 60601 312/977 -9700 • Fax: 312/977 -4806 December 18, 1992 Mr. Paul W.

Date Mayor Attest: Deputy Clerk �IIh i EARTH HISTORY OF EARTH DAY DAY by Senator Gaylord Nelson, Founder of Earth Day Excerpt from Catalyst Conference Speech University of Illinois, October 6, 1990 For years prior to Earth Day it had been troubling to me that the critical matter of the state of our environment was simply a non -issue in the politics of our country. The president, the Congress, the economic power structure of the nation and the press paid almost no attention to this issue, which is of such staggering import to our future. It was clear that until we somehow got this matter into the political arena, until it became part of the national political dialogue, not much would ever be achieved. The puzzling challenge was to think up some dramatic event that would focus national attention on the environment. Finally, in 1962 an idea occurred to me that was, I thought, a virtual cinch to get the environment into the political limelight once and for all. That idea was to persuade President Kennedy to give national visibility to this issue by going on a nationwide conservation tour, spelling out in dramatic language the serious and deteriorating condition of our environment, and proposing a comprehensive agenda to begin addressing the problem. No President had ever made such tour, and I was satisfied this would finally force the issue onto the nation's political agenda... The President liked the idea and began his conservation tour in the Fall of 1963. Senators Hubert Humphrey, Gene McCarthy, Joe Clark, and I accompanied the President on the first leg of his trip to Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. For many reasons the tours didn't achieve what I had hoped for - it did not succeed in making the environment a national political issue. However it was the germ of the idea that ultimately flowered into Earth Day. While the President's tour was a disappointment, I continued to hope for some idea that would thrust the environment into the political mainstream. Six years would pass before the idea for Earth Day occurred to me in late July 1969, while on a conservation speaking tour out West. At the time there was a great deal of turmoil on the college campuses over the Vietnam War. Protests, called anti -war teach -ins, were being widely held on campuses across the Nation. On a flight from Santa Barbara to the University of California /Berkeley, I read an article on the teach -ins and it suddenly occurred to me, why not have a nationwide teach -in on the environment? That was the origin of Earth Day. I returned to Washington in early August, raised the funds to get Earth Day started, and prepared letters to 50 governors and to the mayors of all the major cities explaining the event and requesting that they issue Earth Day Proclamations. I sent an Earth Day article to all of the college newspapers explaining the event and one to Scholastic Magazine, which went to most of our grade and high schools. In a speech given in Seattle in September, I formally announced that there would be a national environmental teach -in sometime in the Spring of 1970. The wire services carried the story nationwide. The response was dramatic. It took off like gangbusters. Telegrams, letters and telephone inquires poured in form all over the Nation. Using my Senate staff, I ran Earth Day activities out of my office. By December the movement had expanded so rapidly that it became necessary to open an office in downtown Washington. The movement was growing so fast that my Senate office couldmt continue serving as a national clearinghouse for Earth Day inquires and activities. After interviewing some 15 or 16 college students, I selected Denis Hayes to manage the Washington Earth Day office and oversee the organizing of college campuses. For a stipend and expenses we hired a group of conscientious college students who did an excellent job organizing on college campuses. Earth Day achieved what I had hoped for. The objective was to get a nationwide demonstration of concern for the environment so large that it would shake the political arena. It was a gamble but it worked. An estimated twenty million people participated in peaceful demonstrations all across the country. Ten thousand grade schools and high schools, two thousand colleges, and one thousand communities were involved. It was truly an astonishing grassroots explosion. The people cared and Earth Day became the first opportunity they ever had to join in a nationwide demonstration to send a big message to the politicians - a message to tell them to wake up and do something. It worked because of the spontaneous, enthusiastic r h r r N hin like it p espouse at the grassroots. oots. of g had ever had happened before. While our organizing on college campuses was very well done, the thousands of events in our schools and communities were self - generated at the local level. We had neither the time nor resources to organize the ten thousand grade schools and high schools and one thousand communities that participated. They simply organized themselves. That was the remarkable thing that became Earth Day. Don't ever forget, - if you want to move the nation to make hard decisions on political issues, the grassroots is the source of power, With it you can do anything - without it, nothing. If we are going to move the nation to an environmentally sustainable economy, you and that young generation right behind you are going to have to do it - and I think you will. ADDENDUM: Earth Day Every Year Earth Day was revived on a national level on its twentieth anniversary in 1990 and gained the support of over 200 million people in 141 counties. In response to requests by organizers nationwide, Earth Day USA was formed by Bruce Anderson in late 1990 to build on the momentum inspired by the original celebration of Earth Day in 1970 and the 20th anniversary celebration in 1990 and to provide guidance, tools and support necessary for tens of thousands of groups and individuals across the country to educate, lead and inspire every person toward positive environmental action and change. ME PROCLAMATION DECLARING APRIL 25 THROUGH APRIL 30, 1993, AS COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES WEEK WHEREAS, the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) was enacted by Congress to encourage banks to identify and meet the banking needs of the communities they serve; and WHEREAS, banks throughout the state of Minnesota are constantly seeking new ways to fulfill their CRA obligations and commitments; and WHEREAS, people with disabilities have special and unique banking needs; and WHEREAS, dialogue and interaction between bankers and persons with disabilities is essential to identify and meet those unique needs. NOW, THEREFORE, I, AS MAYOR OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, State of Minnesota, do hereby proclaim April 25 through April 30 1993, as Community Reinvestment for Persons with Disabilities Week in the City of Brooklyn Center.

APPROVAL: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager MANAGER'S REVIEW /RECOMMENDATION: No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached ) The Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council in conjunction with the cities of Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, Crystal, New Hope, and Robbinsdale; Anoka- Hennepin, Robbinsdale, Osseo, and Brooklyn Center School Districts; the Metropolitan Council, CASH, and Hennepin County; North Hennepin Community College and Intermediate School District 287 -North Hennepin Technical College; and various social service agencies including CEAP have developed a collaborative effort called CO -OP Northwest. Attached are a history of CO -OP Northwest, an organizational chart, and the policies established by the executive committee of CO -OP Northwest. CO -OP Northwest (Communities Organizing Opportunities for People), since its inception, has been staffed b Northwest nn y est He epm Human Services Council (NWHHSC) personnel. The activi of this collaborative effort has grown significantly and is unable to be serviced properly by the existing staff at NWHHSC. Various cities and other members are being asked to contribute funds to hire additional staff to supplement the NWHHSC staff which has been taxed severely by this activity. Brooklyn Center's share is $5,678 for 1993. We are hopeful in the future that a combination of other funding sources and state legislature pilot program monies will finance this effort in the future. Some of the more important efforts CO -OP Northwest is undertaking are as follows: seeking legislation to provide resources and tools to promote community collaboration and empowerment in the social service delivery area; creation by the State of Minnesota of a human services enterprise zone which would provide incentives for innovative programming and projects among local governments and social service agencies; police cadet training and skill building employment opportunities program; development of a process for promoting a positive and realistic publicity campaign regarding the quality of life in the Northwest metro area; develop cultural diversity programs in a way to develop unity and respect for members of the Northwest community; and explore ways in which private organizations which receive public dollars can be encouraged to invest in the community. The Brooklyn Center Human Rights and Resources Commission reviewed this request at its April 7, 1993, meeting and recommends approval of the funding assistance. RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION • We recommend favorable consideration of the attached resolution amending he 1993 budget g g t by transferring $5,678 from the Contingency Fund to the Social Services Account Unit No. 152. • • f Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION AMENDING THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET TO PROVIDE FUNDING ASSISTANCE TO NWHHSC FOR CO -OP NORTHWEST WHEREAS, the cities of Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, New Hope, Crystal and Robbinsdale formed an initiative called CO -OP (Communities Organizing Opportunities for People) Northwest; and WHEREAS, this collaborative effort, which addresses housing, human services, jobs and training issues, is staffed by Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council ( NWHHSC), a joint - powers, nonprofit entity of which the City of Brooklyn Center is a member; and WHEREAS, NWHHSC is requesting funding support for the purpose of funding administration of the CO -OP Northwest project; and WHEREAS, the Brooklyn Center human rights and resources commission has reviewed this request and recommends approval of it; and WHEREAS, Section 7.09 of the City Charter of the City of Brooklyn Center does provide for a contingency appropriation as a part of the General Fund Budget and further provides that the contingency appropriation may be transferred to any other appropriation by the City Council. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center that the 1993 General Fund Budget is hereby amended as follows: 1. Increase the appropriation for the following line item: • Department 152, Social Services • Object Number 4400, Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council • Program Number 1821, Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council $5,678.00 2.

This initiative, CO -OP (Communities Organizing Opportunities for People) Northwest, started by the five cities of Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn park, New Hope, Crystal, and Robbinsdale, is a collaborative effort established to address the housing, human services, jobs and training issues in the sub- region of northwest Hennepin County. These five cities represent 145,305 people or 51 of the total population in Northwest Hennepin County. What these cities have in common is an aging of their housing stock, a large number of multi - family dwellings, increased numbers of people living in porverty,and increased human service needs. These contiguous cities have both a need and a desire to work together to address the issues before them. The planning for infrastructure, including transportation and housing, has been done too often without regard for the human factor. There is a need for wholistic planning and service delivery that looks at all factors at the same time and that cuts across boundary lines. These issues must be addressed at all levels - through policy changes, through projects and programs, and through larger system changes. We have experienced success in our work to collaboratively address the housing and related human service needs. We have worked to develop a community resource center which primarily will serve Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park residents, that has involved people from the community in securing resources, jabs, and support; we have developed a law enforcement project that will provide jobs and help to diversity local police departments, we have initiated an effort to provide human services to local apartment residents; and we have worked on a vision for the community that will he welcoming to diversity. We are a community that is experiencing significant changes, that has significant issues, and that has the people and commitment necessary to be proactive in addressing these matters. We look forward to working with and for you to increase the opportunities for residents in your community. Thank you for your support.

Together, these cities have almost one third of all housing vouchers administered by the Metropolitan HRA. It is a common desire to see those dollars be returned to the community to be used for housing and related services planning. Through these discussions, cities recognize the need to work on a variety of housing and human services issues that cross jurisdictional lines. 8/7/91 The five city managers, together with Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council, meet with staff from the Metropolitan HRA and the Metropolitan Council. The focus is on the needs of the area and the need to work together to address common issues. 8/8/91 A major "brainstorming" session is held to bring in some of the key players in the area that are concerned about housing and human services issues. New participants include: District 281, 279, 11 and 286; local non - profit housing developers (ea. Westminster, Elim Transitional Housing), human services providers (eg. CEAP). The group identified common concerns and recommended strategies to address them. The strategy that received the most attention was: 'To create a sub - regional model for inter - system collaboration and problem - solving. " 8/28/91 The cities and other members of the multi - jurisdictional effort host the Housing Committee of the Minnesota House of Representatives at the City of Brooklyn Park. Highlights include: a "video tour" of the area, statistics demonstrating human need and testimony from local officials. 1215191 A Policy Statement is approved for the Multi - Jurisdictional effort: 1) Maintain and enhance commercial and residential property 2) Promote the Northwest suburbs in a unified manner 3) Preserve and promote quality housing opportunities for all income levels 4 ) Work to integrate supportive service opportunities with neighborhood housing �) Develop multi- sector approaches to addressing citizen's housing and human services needs Winter 1992 Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council receives a "Capacity - Building" grant from the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency to support and expand the Multi- Jurisdictional Housing and Human Services effort. 3/10/92 The Multi- Jurisdictional Housing and Human Services Initiative approves a resolution to be passed in all jurisdictions indicating a commitment to work together on the items outlined in the Policy State The Multi- Jurisdictional Housing and Human Services Initiative also approves in concept seven action groups with an Executive Committee to oversee their efforts: o Pilot Project Group o Programs and Policies Group o Public Relations Group o HRA Certificates and Vouchers Group o Community Investment Principles Group o Jobs, Education and Training Group Spring 1992 It is recognized that major plavers are still missing. NWHHSC staff and Metropolitan Council staff meet with the Hennepin County Community Services staff. Members of the Multi- Jurisdictional Initiative also present information and solicity the involvement of Hennepin County at the County B oard. The Hennepin County Of of Planning & Development and the Office of Training & Employ ment Assistance also get involved. Several other community representatives are invited to meetings. Effort are made to get coverage from different sectors for each committee. Plans include incorporating more representation from communities of color, churches, businesses and program participants. Summer 1992 The following jurisdictions pass resolutions: The cities of Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Crystal, New Hope, Robbinsdale, Hennepin County, Districts 279, 281, 286, 11 and 287. Action groups begin to meet and actively work on projects including: o a proposal to begin a resident council in a local apartment building and to increase linkage between apartment residents and human services o a proposal to provide job training to low - income residents via a Police Cadet Program followed by placing people in jobs in the Northwest Hennepin area o a possible program to provide education and funds for first -time homebuyers and for people rehabbing their houses o a legislative platform to underaird these initiatives and to provide funding for the overall effort o a catchy name for the Multi-Jurisdictional Housing and Human Services Initiative which sums up its purpose o a "social services impact statement" to be used by organizations considering public funding for private businesses i t I SYNOPSIS OF CO -OP NORTHWEST EFFORT The first tier suburbs North He nnepin Co unty are experiencing the same kinds of bs zn orth est He p n Co �cp infrastructure deterioration and economic issues as the core city. Substantial housing developments are home to a large number of single- parent families, public assistance recipients, and persons of color and economic disadvantage. Single family homes are also burdened with frequent challenges and human service issues in their communities. Over the Iasi decade (1981 - 1990), the number of people receiving Food Stamps has increased by 88TIc and the number of people receiving Medical Assistance in Northwest Hennepin has increased by 1227 Poverty increased by 45c from 1979 to 1989 while the population only Grew by 22� during that same period. The CO -OP Northwest initiative recognizes that low and moderate income suburban residents are faced with numerous problems including: difficulty in acquiring affordable, quality housing; lack of job histor✓ and marketable skills; difficulties with access to and awareness of human services; unaffordable and inaccessible child care and inadequate transportation. Five cities in the Northwest Hennepin Count;✓ community have recognized that they share many of the same problems and that they could solve the problems more effectively with a collaborative approach than with each city trying to solve all of the problems in isolation. The CO -OP Northwest initiative is a collaborative of Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council with the cities of Brooklvn Park, Brooklyn Center, Crystal, New Hope and Robbinsdale; Anoka- Hennepin, Robbinsdale, Osseo and Brooklyn Center School Districts; the Metropolitan Council, CASH and Hennepin County; North Hennepin Community College and Intermediate School District 2S7 -North Hennepin Technical College; and various social service agencies including CEAP. In addition, there is an effort to recruit more community members. Initially CO -OP Northwest was developed to assist low and moderate income residents acquire affordable, quality housing. The Group quickly realized that lack of decent housing is one of several related problems facing low and moderate income people in the area. CO -OP Northwest has the broad theme of holistically addressing quality of life issues for residents of the area by addressing the various barriers to economic empowerment. The CO- OP Northwest effort is made up of eight committees which each actively address a different aspect of the overall effort. The Action Groups include: Legislation Component, the McKnight Project Committee, the Policies and Programs Group, Hra Certificates and Vouchers, Public Relations, Community Investment Principles, the Education, Jobs and Training Committee and the Executive Committee which has representatives from each committee as well as members at large and services to coordinate the overall effort. i CO -OP NORTHWEST (Communities Organizing Opportunities for People) POLICIES 1) maintain and enhance ccmmercia'_ and residential property 2) Promote the Nort.;des- suburbs Ln a unified manner. 3 ) Preserve and nromote Cual_ y✓ hoL's_^g OD ^vortun_t -es f f or a! - lnccme levels In -he ilve city area.

Myron Orfield. The resolution urges the modification of these bills to make them workable; or, if they cannot be successfully amended, we are urging their defeat. Rep. Orfield is to be commended for his efforts to address the important issues such as urban blight, inner -city poverty, and substandard housing. Regrettably, these bills as proposed fall far short of resolving the problem at the source and seek to nalize suburban pe communities because of differing socio- economic demographics. Clearly, these bills fail to acknowledge the number of subsidized housing nits and low- moderate income families s actually in our communities. I am sure you are acutely aware of the content of these bills and their devastating effects on rapid - growth, outer - ring suburban communities. These bills give the Metropolitan Council sweeping authority over municipalities in zoning and land use, threaten to jeopardize development that would expand the tax base with new housing and job creation opportunities, and halt major transportation projects needed in key areas of the region to relieve congestion. These bills are rapidly moving through the legislative process so time is of the essence. Please contact your legislators and those in neighboring districts to your city. Make sure they understand the effects this legislation has on your community and try to secure a commitment from them to either support amendments to remove the harmful provisions of these -bills or vote against them entirely. Thank you for your assistance on this vital issue. Working together, I am confident we will be able to turn back these bills. If you have any questions, please contact me or Apple Valle City Administrator Thomas M PP Y tY elena. Sincerely, . CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Willis E. Branning Mayor WB:Pjg Attachment c: Representative Tim Pawlenty Representative Eileen Tompkins Senator Dave Knutson Senator Deanna Weiner Home of the Minnesota Zoological Garden (Printed on Recycled Paper) CITY OF APPLE VALLEY RESOLUTION NO. 1993 -69 A RESOLUTION OPPOSING HOUSE FILES 622, 623, 641, 671 AND 677 AS INTRODUCED N THE MINNESOTA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES DURING THE 1993 LEGISLATIVE SESSION. WHEREAS, Rep. Myron Orfield (DFL- Minneapolis) has introduced the above- listed bills relative to housing, metropolitan governance, development controls and transportation, and WHEREAS, the economies of the core cities of the Region and of the suburbs are interconnected and it is in the interest of the City of Apple Valley that the socio- economic problems of the core cities be resolved, and WHEREAS, the specific provisions of the legislation utilizes penalties excessively and incentives too sparingly to force suburban communities to resolve the socio- economic problems of the inner - regions of the metropolitan area, and WHEREAS, the legislation fails to attack the real problems of central cities such as confidence in the school systems, problems of the housing /jobs linkage, crime, concentrations of urban blight, and public transportation making the success of proposed solutions doubtful, and WHEREAS, the legislation fails to provide the resources necessary to achieve its intended oals b hinderi g y g housing opportunities and job creation in the suburban areas and by thwarting the development of regional transportation improvements, and WHEREAS, the legislation provides for an unnecessary intrusion by the Metropolitan Council into the local government sovereignty of zoning and land use decisions. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Apple Valley that the City urges the Legislature to amend these bills to delete their harmful provisions so they can be passed and help to resolve the socio- economic problems of the inner - region of the metropolitan area, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that if such legislation is not amended the City of Apple Valley urges the defeat of each of the above - mentioned bills, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that if the Legislature approves such legislation in its current form, the City of Apple Valley urges Gov. Carlson to veto each bill. ADOPTED this 25th day of March, 1993. W. ATTEST: E. Branning, Mayor � Mary City y Clerk CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Council Meeting Date 4/12/93 Agenda Item Numbe REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: APPOINTMENT OF FINANCE DIRECTOR DEPT. APPROVAL: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager t. MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECONBAENDATION: No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUNLVIARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached ) • Since we received Paul Holmlund's letter of resignation, I have spent additional time evaluating g � P g various alternatives and approaches to the replacement of Paul Holmlund as Finance Director. As a part of this review, I discussed alternatives with Paul Holmlund; Cliff Hoffman, our auditor from Deloitte Touche; City department heads; and others. In reviewing these comments and my own observations, I am recommending the promotion and appointment of Charles R. Hansen, currently Assistant Finance Director, to the position of Finance Director of the City of Brooklyn Center. I recommend your finalization of this appointment for the following reasons: 1. Mr. Holmlund has recently served on interview boards for finance director positions for two metro suburban communities. This recent experience in interviewing candidates from the same basic pool Brooklyn Center will draw from gave Mr. Holmlund valuable insights into what candidates for Brooklyn Center Finance Director would be like. Mr. Holmlund assures me that Mr. Hansen was, in his opinion, superior to the individuals he interviewed in these two other communities. 2. Mr. Hansen has the capability, technical expertise, and practical experience to handle and grow in the job of Brooklyn Center Finance Director. He is exceptionally familiar with the finances of Brooklyn Center and would be able to step in and take over without any gaps developing. • 3. I have spent a good deal of time working with Mr. Hansen as Assistant Finance Director and watching him interact with other department heads. After consulting with other department heads, I am assured that Mr. Hansen can do an excellent job for us especially in the area of being Brooklyn Center's "financial conscience." I have never found Mr. Hansen to hesitate to tell me or any other department head or employee of Brooklyn Center what is appropriate or inappropriate financially. Because Brooklyn Center, along with other Minnesota cities, will be going through some turbulent financial times, it is exceedingly important that we have a person in the position of Finance Director who will not tell us what we want to hear but tell us their best financial judgment. Mr. Hansen clearly will fill this roll. 4. I have discussed the appointment of a new Finance Director with Mr. Cliff Hoffman of our auditors, Deloitte Touche. Mr. Hoffman confirms Mr. Holmlund's assessment with the capabilities of Mr. Hansen. 5. In this case Brooklyn Center clearly has a capable and qualified employee in a position to be promoted to this position. Given the above - mentioned factors, in my view, it would be a waste of money to conduct a full search which could cost Brooklyn Center approximately $20,000. Mr. Hansen possesses both the excellent educational training and valuable financial experience necessary to be successful as Brooklyn Center's Finance Director. Mr. Hansen graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1975 with a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting. He previously served as the accountant for the City of Circle Pines for two years and Assistant Director of Finance for Robbinsdale for eight years. He has served as Assistant Director of Finance for the city of Brooklyn Center for six and one -half years. His six+ years with Brooklyn Center and seventeen total years of experience in local government finance has given him the necessary tools to address Brooklyn Center's needs in this area. I am completely confident of Mr. Hansen's ability to handle the position of Brooklyn Center Finance Director and recommend the finalization of his appointment. • RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION I recommend favorable consideration of the attached resolution finalizing the city manager's appointment of Charles R. Hansen to the position of Finance Director of Brooklyn Center. • Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION FINALIZING THE CITY MANAGER'S APPOINTMENT OF A DIRECTOR OF FINANCE WHEREAS, Director of Finance Paul Holmlund retired on March 31, 1993; and WHEREAS, the City Manager has selected Charles R. Hansen as the new Director of Finance effective April 13, 1993; and WHEREAS, Section 6.02, subdivision 3. (a), of the Brooklyn Center City Charter requires the City Council to finalize this appointment by a majority vote of the Council before the appointment becomes official. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center that the City Manager's appointment of Charles R. Hansen as Director of Finance is hereby finalized effective April 13, 1993.

CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Council Meeting Date 4- 1-2 -93 / Agenda Item Number � ber � CT REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: BROOKLYN CENTER AMERICAN LITTLE LEAGUE REQUEST TO USE A PORTION OF GARDEN CITY PARK ************************************************** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** DEPT. APPROVAL: Sy Kna , Director of Public Works *********************** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * * * ** * * * ** MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECOMMENDATION: No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached ************************************************** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes Over a year ago the City first received a request from the Brooklyn Center American Little League ( BCALL) to consider leasing City-owned property at the g g y P P Y south end of Garden City Park (and adjacent to BCALL's existing property) to them for development of one or two new Little League fields. BCALL has two fields located on their property and a third field located on property which they have leased from the Brookdale Christian Center. The primary reasons for their request to the City are: 1. Their easterly field (Gomilak field) is on unstable 'soil and continues to sink. Because of the soil conditions and because floodplain regulations prohibit filling that area, this field will continue to be less useable each year. 2. BCALL has a need for an additional field to accommodate the level of activity which they are now attempting to accommodate. BCALL's request was initially presented to the City Council for review and discussion, and referred to the Park and Recreation Commission. A notice was sent to property owners in the adjacent area area inviting them to participate in discussions. A general consensus was developed in support of the proposal. However, BCALL representatives and City staff were unable to work out details in time to allow this to be accomplished before the 1992 Little League season. Several months ago BCALL again contacted staff to request development of a draft agreement which would allow them to lease an area in Garden City Park large enough to allow them to construct two fields meeting Little League standards. Staff developed a preliminary outline for such an agreement with the following conditions: • the City would grant BCALL a long term lease to property for 2 fields at a nominal cost of $1.00. • BCALL would agree that all access to the leased property would come across BCALL's present property (i.e. —no access to Brooklyn Drive). • • No vehicular parking would be allowed on the leased property (i.e. —keep all parking on BCALL's property). • BCALL to pay for all costs for development and meet required standards (A.D.A., etc.). • All construction plans would require City approval. No field lighting to be installed without separate approval by the City Council. • BCALL to be responsible for all maintenance and indemnify and provide insurance to hold City harmless. • BCALL to agree to give City title to the property on which Gomilak field is located within 2 years following development of one field on the leased property. Note Our reason for this condition was that the City pay wish to construct a stormwater pond in this general area at some time in the future. Following review and discussion of these conditions: • BCALL objected to our request to transfer title to Gomilak field because they would no longer have enough property to provide adequate parking on their property. • the City Attorney advised that a long term exclusive lease would be inappropriate particularly noting specific restrictions in the City's title to a portion of the property. Following additional negotiations, staff and BCALL have developed the attached draft agreement for consideration by the City Council. This agreement: • covers the construction of only one field on City owned property at this time. On this basis the future of Gomilak field and of the possible stormwater pond is left open for future negotiation. • provides a non - exclusive license agreement rather than a long -term lease, with provisions for termination by either party, i.e.: ✓ BCALL may terminate the agreement upon 30 days notice ✓ the City may terminate the agreement either "with cause" or "without cause ". If terminated "without case" within the first 20 years, the City would be required to reimburse BCALL for the remaining value of their improvements (i.e.— $40,000 depreciated over 20 years on a straight -line depreciation basis). BCALL has reviewed this draft agreement and have advised staff of their agreement with these terms: RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION Review and discuss the proposal Note • p p ( representatives from BCALL will attend the Council meeting). i s'¢ Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION APPROVING LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH BROOKLYN CENTER AMERICAN LITTLE LEAGUE FOR USE OF A PORTION OF GARDEN CITY PARK WHEREAS, the Brooklyn Center American Little League ( BCALL) owns property adjacent to the City's Garden City Park which is improved and used for little league baseball and associated activities; and WHEREAS, BCALL wishes to have access to additional property to develop and use one additional baseball field; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that it is in the best interest of the citizens of the City to provide for little league age baseball as a recreational activity and opportunity in the City but that it does not currently have funds to provide either all facilities or all programs that are in demand; and WHEREAS, BCALL is willing to provide such facilities and programs as defined and under the conditions defined in a non - exclusive License Agreement presented to and reviewed by the City Council. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, that said agreement is hereby approved. The Mayor and City Manager are hereby authorized and directed to execute said agreement on behalf of the City.

APPROVAL: Charles Hansen, Acting Finance Director MANAGERS REVIEW /RECOMME TION: ff No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY E %PLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached ) The final debt service payment for the Park Bonds of 1980 was made on February 1, 1993. Once the bonds have been paid, there is no longer any reason to maintain a separate debt service fund. A surplus of cash has built up over the years due to higher that anticipated interest earnings. The remaining assets of the fund may be transferred to other City funds as the City Council deems appropriate. When adopting the 1993 budget, the assumption was made that $170,000 would be transferred to the Certificates of Indebtedness Debt Service fund, thereby reducing the amount of property tax that was levied. Making this transfer is necessary to fulfill the budget. The amount available, $181,763.88, is slightly more than what was budgeted. This will allow more of the 1993 property tax settlements to be allocated to the General fund. Each year we allocate to the Certificates of Indebtedness Debt Service fund only the exact amount it needs to make that year's principal and interest payments. Other remaining assets consist of $21,018.50 in delinquent property taxes and an offsetting uncollectible allowance. It is recommended that these be transferred to the General Fund, since it has similar assets. The Park Bonds of 1980 Debt Service fund can then be closed. RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION Passage of the attached resolution. Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION CLOSING THE PARK BONDS OF 1980 DEBT SERVICE FUND AND TRANSFERRING THE REMAINING FUNDS TO THE CERTIFICATES OF INDEBTEDNESS DEBT SERVICE FUND AND THE GENERAL FUND WHEREAS, Section 7.11 of the City Charter provides the City Council with the authority to make transfers between all funds which may be created, provided that such transfers are not inconsistent with the provisions of the City Charter, or State Statutes; and WHEREAS, the Park Bonds of 1980 Debt Service fund was established to receive property tax collections and interest earnings and to make debt service payments on the bonds sold; and WHEREAS, the Fund Balance in this fund as of December 31, 1992 was $504,146.46 and there have been no additional revenues during 1993; and WHEREAS, the final principal and interest payment of the Park Bonds of 1980 Debt Service fund was made in the amount of $322,382.58 on February 1, 1993; and WHEREAS, there remains after the final payment, an accumulated cash surplus of $181,763.88, which is primarily a result of interest earned on investments; and WHEREAS, the Certificates of Indebtedness Debt Service fund was established to receive property tax collections and interest earnings and to make debt service payments on the certificates; and WHEREAS, the 1993 City of Brooklyn Center budget called for the transfer of $170,000 from the Park Bonds of 1980 Debt Service fund to the Certificates of Indebtedness Debt Service fund.

This resolution goes on to identify by name the city manager and city treasurer and designate them as the persons who shall sign checks. Since Paul W. Holmlund was so identified as city treasurer in Resolution 93 -02, and he has retired as of March 31, 1993, it is necessary to pass this resolution to identify a new city treasurer. Action is needed at this time even if the City Council decides not to appoint a new finance director at this meeting. There must be a city treasurer designated in the mean time so the City can carry on business. The person eventually selected as finance director can then be appointed city treasurer when he or she begins employment. RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION Passage of the attached resolution. • (RES \DEPOSTRY) Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION DESIGNATING DEPOSITORIES OF CITY FUNDS WHEREAS, Section 7.01 of the City Charter provides the City Council with authority over City funds, including the safekeeping and disbursement of public moneys; and WHEREAS, Section 7.10 of the City Charter provides that City funds shall be disbursed by check bearing the actual or facsimile signature of the city manager and the city treasurer. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, as follows: 1. that Marquette Bank Brookdale is hereby designated as the depository of the funds of the City of Brooklyn Center. 2. that the following named banks are hereby designated additional depositories to be used for investment purposes: First National Bank of Minneapolis Marquette Bank Minneapolis Norwest Bank Minneapolis Norwest Bank Brooklyn Center First National Bank of St. Paul American National Bank of St. Paul Camden Norwest Bank Twin City Federal Savings & Loan Association The city treasurer is authorized to deposit City funds guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation and such additional funds not to exceed the amount of 90% of collateral pledged by the depository to the City, and approved by the City. 3. that the city manager and city treasurer are authorized by the City Council to act for the City in any of its business with the depositories. All checks drawn upon an account of the City shall bear the actual or facsimile signature of the city manager and the city treasurer. 4. that the city manager is Gerald G. Splinter and the city treasurer is Charles R. Hansen.

No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes • On December 14, 1992, the City Council approved plans and specifications and authorized advertisement for bids for 69th Avenue Landscaping, Improvement Project No. 1990 -10. Bids for this work were received and opened on March 31, 1993. The bids submitted were as follows: Base Bid + Base Bid + Add -On For Base Bid Alt. A Alt B Maintenance Greenworks, Inc. $203,140.42 $213,920.42 $227,940.42 $ 800.00 Fairs Garden Center $206,327.95 $216,127.95 $216,127.95 $1,500.00 Lino Lakes Nursery $209,576.50 $219,076.50 $219,076.50 $1,200.00 Arteka Natural Green $219,903.34 $231,903.34 $231,903.34 $ 750.00 MN. Valley Landscaping $225,046.95 $234,846.95 $234,846.95 $4,950.00 Jay Bros. Inc. $250,254.60 $269,012.60 $267,504.60 $ 691.00 Lakeland Nursery $278,405.70 No Bid $313,333.70 $ 920.00 The low bidder for this project is determined by a base bid plus Alternate A or B. The bid alternates allowed for different paint applications to the wood fence: Alternate A was for job site applied paint and the Alternate B bid was for factory applied paint. Also allowed for in the bidding documents was an add -on for an extended, 1 year contract for maintenance to the irrigation system which will be constructed under this contract. The apparent low bidder for Base Bid plus Alternate A, (job -site applied paint) is Greenworks, Inc., with a bid of $213,920.42. The apparent low bidder for Base • Bid plus Alternate B (factory applied paint) is Fair's Garden Center of Maple Grove, with a bid of $216,127.95. Given the relatively small cost increase to the City, it is recommended that the City Council accept the low bid based on Alternate B (factory applied paint), submitted by Fair's Garden Center. The information available at this time suggests that a factory applied paint should have a longer lasting finish, which would result in less long -term maintenance required of the City. The Add -on for extended irrigation system maintenance in Fair's bid is $1,500.00, resulting in a total bid of $217,627.95. The Engineer's • Estimate for Base Bid plus Alternate B was $284,029.13, and further anticipated the add -on cost of the 1 year maintenance contract to be $4,000.00. While Fair's Garden Center hasn't recently worked in Brooklyn Center under any it material submitted with municipal contracts, appears from their references and ma r h their bid that they are financially stable, and possess the manpower and equipment necessary to complete the project as specified. The attached letter from the City's engineering consultant for this project, SEH, Inc., recomends award of the contract on the basis of Alternate B. Accordingly, staff recommends accepting the low bid for Base Bid plus Alternate B, and awarding contract to Fair's Garden Center of Maple Grove. RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION A resolution accepting bid and awarding contract to Fair's Garden Center of Maple Grove is provided for consideration.

Seven bids were received that ranged from $213,920.42 to $313,333.70. The Engineer's Estimate was $284,029.13. The bid had three portions to it. The low bidder is to be determined by the Base Bid plus Alternate A, or the Base Bid plus Alternate B. The bid also included an add -on feature for extended irrigation system maintenance. The Alternate A bid was for job site applied paint for the wood fence, and Alternate B was for factory applied paint. Attached for your review is the tabulation of the bids. The apparent low bidder for the job site applied paint (Alternate A) is Greenworks, Inc. with a bid of $213,920.42. The apparent low bid for the factory applied paint (Alternate B) was Fair's Garden Center of Maple Grove at $216,127.95. The references of both bidders were reviewed, including the subcontractors, and specifically, the painting subcontractor. Based upon this information, we recommend that the contract be considered for award to Fair's Garden Center with the Alternate B factory applied paint. The factory applied paint should have a longer lasting finish resulting in less maintenance for the City of Brooklyn Center. The Alternate add -on bid by Fair's Garden Center for the extended irrigation system maintenance was $1,500.00. This results in a total bid of $217,627.95. If you have any questions or comments regarding our recommendations and /or the bid, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, san M. Mason, P. E. SMM:kam SHORT ELLIOTT HENDRICKSON INC.

CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Council Meeting Date 04112/93 Agenda Item Number REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING PROJECT, APPROVING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS, AND DIRECTING ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR 1993 SEALCOATING PROGRAM, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1993 -06, CONTRACT 1993 -B DEPT. APPROVAL: , J"- - Sy Knapp, Dir ctor of Public Works MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECOMMENDATION: No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes The 1993 General Fund budget for Division 142 - Street Maintenance - includes an appropriation of $ 140,000 for the continuation of the City's established street sealcoating program. Accordingly, the City Engineer has prepared plans and specifications for this year's proposed sealcoating program. This year's proposed program, like those of the previous three years, provides for the use of smaller, less aggressive aggregate on lower traffic residential streets, while larger, more durable aggregate is specified for use on the higher- traffic routes. Also, similar to the previous programs, the specifications call for bids on different combinations of material types and sizes, and allows the City to select the best alternative for the City's budget /needs. Using this approach in the past has assured the greatest competition between material suppliers and allowed the City Council to make its choice of alternatives. A map showing the area(s) included in this years's proposed sealcoating program is attached for reference. The low - traffic areas using the smaller, less aggressive aggregate are shown as FA -2, while the high- traffic areas using the larger, more durable aggregate are shown as FA -3. RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION A resolution approving plans and specifications and directing advertisement for bids is provided for consideration. 111 11 111 ���■ ■�►��I� �� � ,� i 1.11■ � �,.. _ 1111111/ 111 I1� 1111 1111��� 1 .
