CONTII;UATIOId OF PUBLIC H EARING ON 1985 CITY BUDGE AND P UBLIC HEARING ON FEDERAL
REVENUE SHARING
Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of reconvening the public hearing
on the 1985 City Budget and the public hearing on Federal Revenue Sharing.
The City hanager reviewed for Council members the M &C addressing budget follow -up
items and inquired of the Council if they had any questions regarding the
information presented in the memorandum.
Councilmember Lhotka requested the City Manager to review the City's affiliation
with the Suburban Rate Authority. The City hanager noted that the City would not be
able to transfer out and back into the Suburban Rate Authority. He added that the
SRA has been requested to assist the A.etropolitan Sewer Board regarding
negotiations with the Environmental Protection Agency on water quality standards
along the upper Mississippi. He explained that this was the reason for the increase
in dues. He added that if this situation does not occur and the SRA does not assist
the Metropolitan Sewer Board the dues will not be increased. Councilmember Lhotka
suggested that the City hold off on paying the dues until a presentation is made to
the Council by the Suburban Rate Authority. The City Manager explained that the
Council could hold back the authorization of the expenditure for the Suburban Rate
Authority dues until that time.
Mayor Nyquist inquired if there were any figures available regarding the cost of the
lawsuit with Northwest Residences Group Home. The City Attorney replied that he
would follow -up on this and prepare information for the City Council regarding the
cost.
Councilmember Lhotka commented that the proposed legal services budget is lower
than the budget for 1984, and he requested the City Attorney to comment on this. The
City Attorney explained that during 1983 DWI's could be charged with a gross
misdemeanor, if the individual had prior convictions. Very often, he pointed out,
past conviction records were incomplete for police officers in the field and they
had to wait until later to get a full report and issue a formal complaint on the
individual. He explained that now, with the new computer information which is
available, there are much more accurate records available to the officers in the
field, and the officer can issue a tag in the field without the City Attorney's
office becoming involved and issuing a complaint. He pointed out that another
reason for the reduction is the judgment regarding what will happen in prosecuting
criminal cases.
The City Manager then reviewed the request by the Brooklyn Center Mediation Project,
and noted, that if the Council wishes to fund the mediation project request, $5,000
of additional revenue in the Dutch elm disease account is available and the City
could fund $2,000 of the mediation project with these funds. He also pointed out
the Firemen's Pension Fund request, and explained that capital improvement items
9 -24 -84 -5-
proposed in the 1985 budget total $567, 000 and that many were for repair items. He
noted that there is $176,000 available from the 1984 budget and $182,000 from
Federal Revenue Sharing. He explained that it would be possible to take dollars .
from the $176,000 from the 1984 budget to fund the firemen's pension request
totaling $26,000.
Councilmember Lhotka inquired whether it would be appropriate for Brooklyn Center
to make its levy the same as other taxing districts in order to accommodate this
$26,000 increase. The City Manager explained that he believes levying up to the
levy limit is not advisable in this instance and that he did not see any advantage to
increasing the levy.
The Director of Finance commented that the City could probably keep the mill levy the
same even with the additional $26,000. He added that it should be kept in mind that
the $176,000 from the 1984 budget is not a recurring revenue, but it is a one time
use.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
authorize the City Manager to prepare a Resolution for the Adoption of the 1985
Budget. The City Manager explained that the Council could adopt the budget and levy
this evening, if they chose to do so. Councilmember Lhotka then withdrew his motion
and Councilmember Scott withdrew her second to the motion.
RESOLUTION NO. 84 -143
Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption with
additional revenue of $5,000 from the Shade Tree Administration Account 3519,
$23,320 transferred from Fund Balance Account 3960 and with additional
appropriations of $2,000 to Mediation Services Account 4429 and $26,320 to 'Fire
Department, Firefighters' Pension Account 14146:

DISCUSSION ITEMS
TAX ON THE DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTE BY HENNEPIN COU NTY
The City Manager reviewed for Council members a resolution passed by Hennepin County
9- 24 -84 -6
which would impose a $.25 per cubic yard feet on the disposal of mixed municipal
solid waste at solid waste facilities within Hennepin County beginning January 1,
1985. He added that this cost will surely be passed along to the consumer by refuse
haulers. In response to the Council's questions regarding increasing rates for
solid waste disposal, the City hanager stated lie would follow -up on the possible
impact on rates for consumers.
Councilmember Lhotka requested the City hanager to review any possible State fees
associated with waste disposal. In summary, the Director of Public Works pointed
out that the average family produces approximately one -half cubic yard of garbage
per month.

constructed by the low bidder. He reviewed the project cost and assessments, and
noted that the final cost was below the estimate. He added that notice of the
hearing and assessments had been sent to all property owners and notice of the
hearing has been published in the City's official newspaper.
Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on Proposed

Alvin Miller who stated that he was an owner of an exempt parcel at the present time,
and pointed out that he has ample water and will be happy to be exempted from the
assessment. He added that he has no need for additional water at the present time.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Don Eckberg, 6933 Major Avenue, who inquired as to the
interest rate on the assessments. The Director of Public Works explained that the
interest rate is 12% per year and that property owners can pay the entire cost of
assessment within 30 days without interest.

hearing. No one requested to speak and he entertained a motion to close the public

DISCUSSIONS ITEMS (CONTINUED)
D000S BROTHERS AMERICAN LEGION LIQUOR LICENSE
The City Manager explained that the hearing officer has completed his report
regarding the hearing on the suspension of an on -sale liquor license for Duoos
Brothers American Legion Post No. 630, and has recommended a 10 to 20 day suspension
of the on -sale license. The City Manager then reviewed the hearing officer's
recommendations regarding the Duoos Brothers American Legion Post No..630 liquor
license.
Mayor Nyquist commented that he believes the violations by the Duoos Brothers Post
are serious and he is concerned. He added that he believes the hearing officer's
recommendation is lenient. He_noted that the hearing officer's recommendations
are before the Council this evening. Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the
purpose of a public hearing regarding the suspension of an on -sale liquor license
for Duoos Brothers American Legion Post No. 630. Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Earl
Swenson, 6533 Ewing Avenue North, who stated that he wished the police department
had notified the American Legion Post after the first infraction which was allowing
paper cups of liquor to be taken outside the Post.
Mayor Nyquist inquired if there was anyone else present who wished to speak at the
public hearing. No one else requested to speak.
Councilmember Hawes inquired as to whom was being penalized by the suspension. The
City Manager explained the purpose of this suspension process is to emphasize that
businesses should be run according to state law and regulations. Councilmember
Hawes then inquired whether any funds from the operation of the Legion Post were used
to support civic events. The City Manager stated that funds were used from the Post
to fund American Legion baseball,
Hearing no further requests from the audience to appear at the public hearing, Mayor
Nyquist entertained a motion to close the public hearing.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to
close the public hearing on the Suspension of an On -Sale Liquor License for Duoos
Brothers American Legion Post No. 630. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist,

motion passed unanimously.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott to suspend the on -sale liquor license for
Duoos Brothers American. Legion Post No. 630 for 12 consecutive days beginning
Monday, October 1, 1984. Councilmember Lhotka seconded the motion for purposes of
discussion. Councilmember Lhotka inquired why the motion was for 12 days.
Councilmember Scott replied that this would encompass 10 week days and one weekend.
Councilmember Lhotka inquired of the City Attorney whether the Council could go with
fewer days and attach a condition that if other violations occur within a year the
maximum 30 days suspension would be given. The City Attorney recommended against
this action since a second violation would have to stand on its own and that he had
not seen this done by a community. He added that the statute requires a suspension.
Councilmember Scott stated that she believes the American Legion stands for a
positive community image and that she believes a suspension is justified when that
image is affected by the violations which have occurred.

Councilmember Scott. The following voted against: N,ayor Nyquist, Councilmembers

Councilmembers Lhotka, and Scott. Voting against: Councilmembers Hawes and
Theis. The motion passed.
Councilmember Theis stated that he voted against the motion because the timing of
the suspension would cut into three weekends and this could be avoided.
Councilmember Hawes stated that he believes a 20 day suspension is excessive and
that a seven day suspension would be long enough. He added that he believes the
American Legion serves the community.
Councilmember Lhotka agreed with Councilmember Hawes that the American Legion
serves the community, but he pointed out the seriousness of the violations warrants
a suspension given the fact that a probation situation is not legally possible.
