11 -18 -85 -3-
following voted against the same: none, whereupon said resolution was declared
duly passed and adopted.
The City Manager introduced a Resolution Amending the 1986 General Fund Budget to
Provide for the City's Contribution to the Five Cities Senior Transportation
Project. Mayor Nyquist requested an explanation of the benefits to the City for
contributing $8,000 to this program, and the City Manager briefly explained the
program. Councilmember Hawes asked if the City has committed to the program for
three years, and the City Manager pointed out that a procedure exists for
withdrawing from the program if so desired. Councilmember Hawes expressed concern
for subsidizing a program that will not be used, and the City Manager pointed out
that it may take several years for the program to become effective. He added that
the City will receive quarterly reports on the program. Councilmember Theis asked
where the buses would be running, and the City Manager reviewed the stops and
schedule of the program.
RESOLUTION NO. 85 -206
Member Rich Theis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION AMENDING THE 1986 GENERAL FUND BUDGET TO PROVIDE FOR THE CITY'S
CONTRIBUTION TO THE FIVE CITIES SENIOR TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member
Gene Lhotka, and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor
thereof: Dean Nyquist, Gene Lhotka, Celia Scott, Bill Hawes, and Rich Theis; and
the following voted against the same: none, whereupon said resolution was declared
duly passed and adopted.
The City Manager introduced a Resolution Awarding the Sale of $5,250,000 General
Obligation Tax Increment Bonds, Series 1985A; Fixing Their Form and Specifications;
Directing Their Execution and Delivery; and Providing for Their Payment.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Robert Pulscher, representing Springsted, Inc., who
provided background information on the sale of the bonds and discussed the City's
situation with the Council. The City Manager noted that he and the Director of
Finance went to New York City in an attempt to change the City's bond rating;
however, this was not accomplished. The Director of Finance pointed out that
Brooklyn Center has a strong A -1 rating, and was told that a few "real" strengths are
missing from the City. Among these are a diversity of tax base, with the desire to
have a more industrial base; a population group that is not as aging as the current
Brooklyn Center population is; a strong assessed valuation growth over the last few
years (Brooklyn Center's growth has been stagnant); and a higher per capita income,
which is not the case in Brooklyn Center as it is lower than most AA cities.
Councilmember Theis asked if the City's rating had changed from A -1 to AA, if a
change in interest rate would occur. Mr. Pulscher responded affirmatively.
RESOLUTION NO. 85 -207
Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION AWARDING THE SALE OF $5,250,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION TAX INCREMENT BONDS,

ORDINANCES
The City Manager introduced An Ordinance Vacating an Easement in Outlot 8, Ryan Lake
Terrace Addition, Hennepin County, Minnesota, and explained this ordinance is
offered for a first reading this evening. The Director of Public Works reviewed the
circumstances surrounding the need for this ordinance.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Theis to

Terrace Addition, Hennepin County, Minnesota, and to set the public hearing date on
the ordinance for December 9, 1985 at 8:00 p.m. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist,

The City Manager introduced An Ordinance Amending Chapter 17 of the City Ordinances
to Add Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as a Defined Holiday and Eliminate Columbus Day as
Defined Holiday. He noted this ordinance is offered for a first reading this
evening.
The City Manager said he had spoken with several representatives of suburban cities,
and the consensus is that no additional holidays will be given to employees. He
added that at this time most cities have 11 holidays. Councilmember Theis asked if
it is mandated that City offices be closed for the Martin Luther King holiday, and
the City Manager responded affirmatively. He added that City offices are not
required to be closed on the Columbus Day holiday. Councilmember Scott asked what
effect the ordinance change would have on existing labor contracts. The City
Manager stated that the police work regardless of the holiday, and if an agreement is
not reached with the public works union, City Hall would still be closed but the
personnel affected by the public works contract would not be paid.
There was a motion by Councilmember Hawes and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
approve for first reading An Ordinance Amending Chapter 17 of the City Ordinances to
Add Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as a Defined Holiday and Eliminate Columbus Day as

PUBLIC HEARING
PUBLIC HEARING ON 1985 SINGLE FAMILY REVENUE BOND PROGRAM
The Housing Coordinator noted that this is the same program for which the City made
application for in 1984. He briefly reviewed the program, and explained that it
allows the City to target money for specific neighborhoods. Councilmember Theis
asked if there is a definition of what the target areas must be, and the Housing
Coordinator stated that it is the City's reponsibility to define the areas. He
added that this has not yet been done. Councilmember Lhotka asked if the City is
able to get the money, what can be done to avoid problems that occurred the last time
the program was administered. The Housing Coordinator explained the past
problems, including those associated with the local banks. He stated that these
problems can be overcome this time.

DISCUSSION ITEMS
SEWER LIFT CLAIM FILED BY MRS. CLEO BAILEY
The City Manager stated that Councilmember Lhotka had requested this item be
considered by the City Council. Councilmember Lhotka pointed out that the Council
reviewed a similar item and this claim was not considered with the other claims. He
added that he felt the resident should have a chance to explain her problem.
Mayor Nyquist asked what contact was made with the resident after December, 1984,
and the City Manager stated that the claim had been denied by the insurance company.
Mayor Nyquist asked if any other parties are involved in this claim, and the Director
of Public Works said there are none. The Director of Public Works added that this
claim is a result of a blockage in the sanitary sewer system, and the City's
insurance company said history has shown no neglect on the City's part in this case.
Mayor Nyquist pointed out that in the other sewer claim case there are several
potential sources of negligence, and that is not so in this case. Councilmember
Lhotka asked how the City may distinguish between the case at hand and other cases.
Mayor Nyquist noted that the distinction is clear in his mind.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mrs. Cleo Bailey, 5436 Emerson Avenue North, who explained
her circumstances regarding the filing of the claim against the City. There was
some discussion between staff and the City Council regarding the use of contractors
for cleaning sewer systems. Councilmember Theis asked if a licensing mechanism
exists for plumbers who clean sewers, and the City Manager responded that such a
requirement is not made. Mrs. Bailey explained that she feels it is the City who was
negligent in this case.
Councilmember Lhotka asked if the recommendation from the City Attorney for the
previous sewer claim case still pertains here, and the City Attorney noted that the
cases are somewhat similar. The City Attorney pointed out the difference is that if
11 -18 -85 -6-
i
the City pays the claimant in this case, there would be no one from whom the City
could recover the money. Councilmember Lhotka noted that the other claimants were
told to go to conciliation court, and asked if this process would work for Mrs.
Bailey. The City Attorney responded affirmatively, and added that he would guide
Mrs. Bailey in the process required for conciliation court.
Councilmember Lhotka pointed out that the case discussed by the Council this evening
is only a sample of what can happen because of the previous action taken by the
Council. He added that he will vote against the City paying this claim, as he would
have in the other case had he been at the meeting. He asked that Mrs. Bailey pursue
the course of going to conciliation court, and the City's insurance company will
either have to defend the case or pay the claim. Mayor Nyquist noted that he does
distinguish this case from the other case recently discussed by the Council. The
City Manager said that Mrs. Bailey can meet with the City Attorney and the City will
view the case once again with the City's insurance company. Councilmember Theis
asked if doing so will delay this case further, and the City Manager stated it should
not. Councilmember Hawes said that based on the information he received on this
case, he has a problem saying that the City was negligent.
STATUS REPORT ON 1986 BUDGET QUESTIONS AND "HOLD" ITEMS
The City Manager reviewed M&C No. 85 -11, first referring the Council to the section
Ultimaps and the Fire Department reporting system. Councilmember Theis stated
that he has spoken with members of the Fire Department and has no problem with
releasing the hold on the Fire Department item. The City Manager pointed out that
as the system develops, he will return to the Council with a formal request.
The City Manager reviewed the request for the HRA computer and asked for removal of
the hold on this item. Councilmember Lhotka asked if there is another computer that
the HRA could use, and the City Manager explained the current usage system of micro-
computers in City hall. Councilmember Lhotka asked if the HRA needs its own
computer, and the City Manager noted that the computer will be shared with other City
personnel. Councilmember Lhotka asked if the other computers in City Hall are
overloaded, and the City responded affirmatively. Councilmember Scott expressed
concern that all equipment will be compatible in City Hall, and the City Manager
noted that the equipment is all of the same brand and can be put on the same system.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka to
remove the hold and approve funding for the HRA computer. Voting in favor: Mayor
Nyquist, Councilmembers Lhotka, Scott, Hawes, and Theis. Voting against: none.
The motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager next reviewed the portion of M&C No. 85 -11 regarding the Attorney
Services. Councilmember Theis asked the staff to prepare a list of criteria of what
City staff needs from an attorney. The City Manager stated that he can put a listing
together, and Councilmember Lhotka said he liked this idea. The City Manager noted
that he will have the information available by the first Council meeting in
February. Councilmember Theis suggested that the City also explore the needs of
staff with regard to the City auditor.
There was a motion by Councilmember Theis and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka to
direct staff to develop criteria for selecting a City Attorney and a City Auditor
with a report prepared by staff due to the City Council by February 1, 1986. Voting

in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Lhotka, Scott, Hawes, and Theis. Voting
against: none. The motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager reviewed the request for the Fire Department Carryall.
Councilmember Lhotka asked if the Fire Department presently has a van -type truck,
and the City Manager responded affirmatively. He added that one such truck is used
for salvage, and the other is for rescue and carrying diving equipment.
Councilmember Lhotka asked if there are any other pieces of equipment that can be
used instead of the carryall, and the Fire Chief said there is none available. He
added that the vehicle will have four -wheel drive and will be useful in responding to
medicals, especially in winter storms. Councilmember Lhotka stated he is not
concerned with the four -wheel drive on the vehicle, but rather with the size of the
vehicle. The City Manager noted that the vehicle will transport people and some
equipment, and provides more room than the average station wagon. Councilmember
Scott noted that this carryall will be replacing a 1967 station wagon, and asked how
many miles are on that vehicle and what kind of shape it is in. The Fire Chief said
he is unsure of the mileage of the vehicle, but noted that the floor board fell off of
it last year and was welded back onto it.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to
remove the hold and approve funding for the Fire Department Carryall. Voting in
favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Scott, Hawes, and Theis. Voting against:
Councilmember Lhotka. The motion passed.
REPORT ON AMUSEMENT DEVICE LICENSE FEE SURVEY
The Council had no questions for the City Manager at this time regarding the survey,
and asked that the survey be reviewed again at budget time in 1986.
1986 COUNCIL MEETING SCHEDULE
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Theis to
approve the 1986 Council meeting schedule. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist,
Councilmembers Lhotka, Scott, Hawes, and Theis. Voting against: none. The
motion passed unanimously.
ESTABLISHMENT OF MAYORS' GROUP JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
The City Manager inquired if there is any interest in pursuing this, and Mayor
Nyquist stated he has not been impressed with the meetings held thus far.
Councilmember Theis noted that the concept is a good idea, and Mayor Nyquist agreed.
There was a general discussion on the benefits of participating in the Joint Powers
Agreement.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to
express interest in joining the Mayors' Group Joint Powers Agreement. Voting in
favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Lhotka, Scott, Hawes, and Theis. Voting
against: none. The motion passed unanimously.
ALL- AMERICA CITIES COMPETITION
Mayor Nyquist reported on Brooklyn Center's presentation at the All- America Cities
Competition in Cincinnati, Ohio. He said the presentation went extremely well and
added there are two people who should be highlighted for their efforts. He stated
Jim Moffet, Chairman of the Committee, did a super job of making arrangements for
Brooklyn Center's booth and oral presentation. Mayor Nyquist added that Dick
Rabine did an excellent job presenting the City's case. He recommended that Moffet
and Rabine be recognized for their contributions. He added that he is not
