He proceeded to review for Council members his memorandum dated January 7, 1983, regarding establishment of a Watershed' Management Organization. He explained that the City of Brooklyn Center lies within two secondary watersheds, one being the Shingle Creek Watershed, and the other the Upper Mississippi River Watershed. He pointed out the two watersheds do not really have much in common and that an ad hoc group consisting primarily of City engineers from the various cities in the watersheds has suggested that the Upper Mississippi River District be exempt from the requirements of the state law. He explained the resolution before the Council this evening is for the purpose of approving the formation of the Shingle Creek Watershed as a joint powers agreement. The City Manager recommended that, since the Director of Public Works has been working on the project, his name could be included in the resolution as the City's representative.

The City Manager sought direction from the Council and.inquired whether the staff should work to eliminate the Upper Mississippi River District and if unable to eliminate the district to work to make it part of an existing watershed district. There was a consensus of agreement among Council members to support the City Manager's recommendations with regard to the watershed districts. The City Manager introduced a Resolution Approving Agreement for Professional Services Relating to Development of a Municipal Golf Course. The.City Manager stated that, in consideration that the lands located westerly of Lions' Park may possibly be a future site for a municipal golf course, certain permits are required from various state and federal agencies in order to develop the land for that purpose. He stated the resolution before the Council this evening would provide professional services relating to the development of the municipal golf course and would utilize the services of a landscape architect to assist the City staff in preparing the applications for permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other agencies with jurisdiction over the project area, including the Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.` Councilmember Theis inquired whether the execution of this agreement would commit the City to a golf course design or whether other types of facilities could be considered for this parcel of land. The City Manager explained that, to the extent the Council wishes to continue the development and fill in the site to raise the land for fairways and _tees, the work is oriented towards the development of a golf course, but the land could be used for another type of facility and is not committed to a golf course.

DISCUSSION ITEMS FRANCE & HIGHWAY 100 STUDY The City Manager stated that he would like to review the proposed study for the France & 100 area with the City Council this evening. He stated that if the City Council has some definite ideas or concerns regarding certain options for the area, he suggested that this be relayed to the consultant. For example, he pointed out that if the Council is opposed to any specific type of development in the area, such as additional apartments, this should be made known to the consultant so that the plans could be developed accordingly. He added that the staff will return to the City Council with a specific proposal for the Council to review. Councilmember Hawes inquired when the current leasor will be moving from the property. The Director of Planning & Inspection stated that the American Canadian Distribution Company is currently operating on the site and that fire code inspections have shown an adequate water supply to the area but other areas still need to be addressed in order to comply with the fire code., He added that City staff will be meeting with the manager of the .operation when he returns from vacation and will be discussing the fire inspection report, among other issues. The City Manager pointed out the land in question is currently zoned I -1 and that he would hope the study would provide information to direct and support any change which would be made. Councilmember Theis inquired as to the cost of the study. The City Manager explained.. that the study ,would cost approximately $35,000. Councilmember Theis then asked what benefit the study would have if the developer submitted a plan for an I -use. He added that the study would not be useful in opposing such a development since the land is currently zoned I -1. The City Manager explained that the study could be useful in that special use requirements, and considerations may be brought out in the study, along with information on traffic analysis and pollution of the area. Councilmember Theis inquired how much of the study would be addressing traffic and pollution. The Director of Public Works reviewed the components of one proposal and explained that approximately one -half the time of tie entire study would be used to do a basic inventory of the area, including pollution and traffic inventories. He added that one -half of the proposal would be a land use study and one -half would be a traffic study. Councilmember Theis stated that he would like to see the study restricted to a traffic analysis and that he does not see a strong value in the land use aspect of the study. The City Manager stated that the City would hope to know 1 -10 -83 -9- the economics of the area as a result.of the study, and that this could help in consideration of future development requests. He added that he would not like to see the economic portion of the study eliminated.. Mayor Nyquist stated that he believes the City should have some type of comprehensive plan for the area, in light of.the industrial revenue bond philosophy for developmen The Director of Planning & Inspection stated the study could give assistance to changing the comprehensive plan. He pointed out that no justification exists currently to down zone the area and that he believes the study could give justification for amending the comprehensive plan. He added the study may indicate the comprehensive plan should be amended. Councilmember Scott commented that a land use study exists for the area now and that the study serves no purpose. She added that she believes the conditions in the area are essentially the same as were present during the original land use study and that she also believes the consultant did not address the traffic aspect of the study. satisfactorily. The City Manager stated that this situation could be avoided in a future study, if more specific instructions are given to the consultant and are contained in the contract. He added that by believes the request for proposals in these types of studies is much improved from years ago. Councilmember Scott stated that she would want this study to benefit the citizens of Brooklyn.Center and not simply a potential developer of the property. The City Manager stated that he would like to bring back a work program and contract for the Council to consider so that they can make a better assessment of the project. A question was raised by Councilmember Hawes regarding a possible situation where the consultant's plan may recommend a Cl or C2 zoning and the cunrent owner proposes an I -1 development. The City Attorney commented that down zoning is based on the economic effect on property and many conclusions could be reached about the use of the property. He explained a judge would decide if down zoning would, in fact, deny the owner of the use of the property. Councilmember Hawes then commented that he does not believe government should pay for a study of pollution in the area but that he believes the owner of the property should pay for this aspect of the study. The Director of Public Works indicated that the pollution portion of the study would be a collection of existing studies currently being done by the owner and other agencies and would not involve original research. The City Manager explained that he would return to the Council with a specific proposal for a study of the area. CONSIDERATION OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT WITH L.E.L.S. LOCAL NO. 82 The City Manager reviewed for Council members the contract agreement worked out between the City and the Law Enforcement Labor Services, Local No. 82.

He added that he would like a letter to go out to the banks and the Chamber of Commerce expressing disappointment in their lack of participation in the program. Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr'. Phil Cohen, who stated to the Council that all the banks in the area had an opportunity to participate in the program and at the last minute the banks dropped out. He added that he believes the letter and inquiry is appropriate. Mayor Nyquist added that he agrees and that the letter should relay the Council's deep disappointment.
