Also present were City Manager Gerald Splinter, Director of Public Works Sy Knapp, Director of Finance Paul Holmlund, Director of Planning & Inspection Ron Warren, City Attorney Richard Schieffer, Fire Chief Ron Boman, and Administrative Assistants Brad Hoffman and Tom Bublitz. Mayor Nyquist noted that neither Councilmember Scott nor Councilmember Hawes would be in attendance at this evening's meeting since Councilmember Scott was ill and Councilmember Hawes was out of town. INVOCATION The invocation was offered by Pastor Bob Cilke of the Brookdale Assembly of God Church. OPEN FORUM Mayor Nyquist noted the Council had received a request to use the Open Forum session from Ms. Debra Warm, 7456 Drew Avenue North in Brooklyn Park. Mayor Nyquist recognized Ms. Wurm who addressed the Council, and stated that she was here this evening to request that the snow be plowed on the trails. She explained she runs seven miles a day and that it is dangerous to run on the streets. She added that she is upset that the trails are not usable for five months out of the year. The City Manager explained that the City never contemplated plowing the trails in winter, and indicated that the first priority is the sidewalk system. He added that it would be very difficult to plow the trails in such a way that they would be safe for running. He explained the City concentrates on removing snow from school routes and that equipment was never purchased to maintain the trails. He stated that snow removal equipment to plow the trails would be a significant budget item, and pointed out that a blower would be needed at an approximate cost of $35,000. He added that the blower also does not move as fast as a snow plow. He also stated that it is more difficult to keep the trails open than City streets since they would drift in faster than roads because of their narrowness. Councilmember Lhotka recommended that the issue of plowing the snow on the trails be turned over to the City staff to examine the feasibility and also to assess the community interest in having the snow removed from the trail system. The City Manager explained the staff could prepare a report for the Council on the feasibility of plowing the trails, and explained the report would also be submitted to Ms. Wurm. APPROVAL OF CONSFIIT AGENDA Mayor Nyquist inquired if any Council members desired any items removed from the 12 -19 -83 -1- Consent Agenda. Councilmember Theis and Councilmember Lhotka requested that item 7b be removed from the Consent Agenda.

APPROVAL OF MIN(TTFS - DECEMBFR 5, 1983 There was a motion by Mayor Nyquist and seconded by Councilmember Theis to approve the minutes of the City Council of December 5, 1983 as submitted. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist and Councilmember Theis. Voting against: none. The motion passed. Council.member Lhotka abstained as he was not present at the December 5, 1983 meeting. . RESOLUTIONS (CONTINUED) The City Manager introduced a Resolution Requesting the Metropolitan Transit Commission to Retain Present Routing for Local Bus Route No. 8. The Director of Public Works explained Local Bus Route Ib. 8, as currently operated by the MTC, is routed on Humboldt Avenue North to 73rd Avenue North, then on 73rd Avenue North to Newton Avenue, then on Newton Avenue into Brooklyn Park where it completes a loop following Brookdale Drive, Sierra Drive, and Pearson Parkway, then returns by way of Newton Avenue North, 73rd Avenue North and Humboldt Avenue North . He explained the Brooklyn Park City Council had received a petition from property 12 -19 -83 -4- owners living on Newton Avenue regarding the noise and vibration created by the MTC buses. Their request was to move the bus route. The Brooklyn Park City Council, in reponse to the petition, recommended moving the route, but at the next City Council meeting the Council received a petition from the bus riders and the Council subsequently rescinded it's original motion. He explained that at a third meeting a compromise route was approved by the Brooklyn Park City Council which would take the route North on Humboldt, continue it to Brockdale Drive and then pick up the old route and come down Newton Avenue only once. He added that this compromise would create additional riding time for bus riders on the route. He added that the City staff has received calls from bus riders in Brooklyn Center concerning the compromise because the route would add five to ten minutes to their riding time and possibly result in a fare change at 76th Avenue North. The Director of Public Works explained that he had contacted Mr. Glen Pearson of the MTC who in turn consulted with his research department which indicated that a fare increase would probably not result from crossing the fare line. The Director of Public Works then proceeded to review the resolution before the Council, and explained that the first preference in the resolution is to leave the route as it is, and that the second preference is to still provide service along Newton Avenue with no additional fare. RESOLUTION NO. 83 -195 Member ich Theis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE METROPOLITAN TRANSIT COMMISSION TO RETAIN PRESENT ROUTING FOR LOCAL BUS ROUTE NO. 8 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, and Rich Theis; and the following voted against the same: none, whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted. The City Manager introduced the next agenda item, and explained that the next item includes a number of Resolutions Accepting Quotations and Authorizing Contracts for Remodeling of the West Fire Station. Council-member Theis commented that, with the $15,000 limit on accepting quotations without bids, he was concerned that the various contracts added together exceeded $15,000. He noted he was concerned about the legality of the process. The City Manager commented that the remodeling is indeed one project but the project can be phased, and that the various contracts are separate contracts and could be done separately. He pointed out that phasing the project is not an attempt to get around the bidding process. Administrative Assistant Hoffman noted that the staff originally asked for quotes on the entire project but that the firms contacted took exception with the specifications prepared by the City. He pointed out that, essentially the contractors wanted to accomplish the work in their own way and that such items as refinishing cabinets and doorways, rather than replacing them, was not acceptable to many of the contractors. He added that the quotes obtained on various parts of the project totaled $5,000 lower than the lowest bid if the project were to be done as a single project. In response to a question from the City Attorney regarding the low bidder, Administrative Assistant Hoffman noted that all the contractors, other than B&K Builders, would not itemize and took exception to bidding the project in separate phases, and that their higher bids reflect the total work to be done while B&K Builders bid reflects only general contracting. 12 -19 -83 -5- Councilmember Lhotka expressed a concern that the only bids received for the plumbing work were from an ex- Councilmember and another individual related to an ex- City employee. He added that he is not suggesting that anything is wrong but that he thinks it would be appropriate to obtain other bids. In response to Councilmember Lhotka's concern, the Fire Chief stated that he had difficulty in obtaining bids on the project on a separate basis and that very few contractors were interested in bidding. He added that the bids for the plumbing were the only bids he received, although, he had contacted other contractors. Councilmember Lhotka stated that he understood the difficulty in obtaining bids but reiterated his concern regarding the bids.

PUBLIC HEARING ON AN INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT REVENUE BOND PROPOSAL FOR BROOKDALE II LIMITED PARTNERSHIP RYAN CONSTRUCTION Administrative Assistant Hoffman reviewed the application for an Industrial Development Revenue Bond Proposal and noted that the City Attorney's office has reviewed the documents associated with the proposal and has found them in order. Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Len Champers, representing the applicant, addressed the Council and requested a continuance of the public hearing until the next regularly scheduled Council meeting. Councilmember Theis asked, if approved, when would the project begin. Mr. Pat Ryan stated that the starting date for the project would be June of 1984, and noted that the starting date is based on market demand. Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on an Industrial Development Revenue Bond Proposal for Brookdale II Limited Partnership (Ryan Construction) and entertained a motion to continue the public hearing to the regularly scheduled City Council meeting of January 9, 1983 at the request of the applicant.

He then reviewed the site plan submitted with the application which showed the location of the proposed addition. The Director of Planning & Inspection proceeded to review the available parking stalls on the site, and noted that 75 to 100 stalls now exist on the site and appear adequate to handle the additional activities related to the addition. He noted there is additional room on the site for parking but that the room addition is not likely to add significant parking demand on a daily basis. 12 -19 -83 -7- The Director of Planning & Inspection stated that after the Planning Commission held a public hearing the Commission recommended approval, subject to three conditions which he reviewed for Council members. He noted that a public hearing is required on the application and that the required notices had been sent. He also noted that the Principal of the Northport School is present this evening. Councilmember Ihotka inquired whether the addition was to be sprinklered. The Director of Planning & Inspection explained that it is not a requirement under the present code but he could review it further to see if anything is required by the state building code. He added that this item would be reflected in condition No. 1 of the Planning Commission's conditions. Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on Application No. 83054.

RECESS The Brooklyn Center City Council recessed at 7:55 p.m. and reconvened at 8:15 p.m. RESOLUTIONS (CONTINUED) The City Manager introduced a Resolution Amending the 1983 General Fund Budget. He noted that the allocation of $5,000 to the Street Construction Account is in 12 -19 -83 -8- anticipation of possible overtime salaries required, if the City crews are required to plow snow on a weekend before 1984. The Director of Public Works reviewed the changes in starting times for snowplows, and noted that the plows now start at 1 :00 a.m. , which is several hours earlier than they had started in the past. With this earlier starting time, he pointed out that most of the City is cleared of snow by noon with a normal snow of six inches or less. Councilmember Lhotka stated that he would like to commend the City staff on the job they have done on snowplowing. Mayor Nyquist reiterated Councilmember Lhotka's comments. Councilmember Theis stated that he had received only one complaint regarding the snowplowing from a person who feels that he is always the last to get plowed out.

The City Manager introduced a Resolution Setting Wages and Salaries for the Calendar Year 1984. He also pointed out an additional amendment to the pay plan which would adjust the Chief Accountant's salary range. He noted that this adjustment in the Chief Accountant's range would bring this position in line with similar positions in other cities. He pointed out that the salary increases recommended are consistent with increases in other cities in the metropolitan area for 1984. He added that the only items not included in the adjustment are the fringe benefits. Councilmember Theis expressed a concern that a couple of positions have moved into the merit range, and he suggested that a merit increase be effective for a period of one year only and reviewed annually. He added that he would recommend that the salary also be adjusted annually on the base only, not including the merit step. The City Manager explained that any salaries in the merit ranges would be annually reviewed and justification would be made as to why they are in the merit category. He added that the salaries would be reviewed annually.
