He added it is recommended the City 'Council proceed with this project prior to the MN /DOT 1 -24 -83 -3- cold milling /bituminous overlay project on Brooklyn Boulevard. The Director of Public Works reviewed the project location and the preliminary cost estimates for the project He explained the main construction in 63rd' Avenue will be restricted to an area within the street, north of its center line and as.a result, the north half of the street will be reconstructed to a cross section identical to the existing structure. He pointed out that in order to conceal the evidence of street reconstruction, a thin bituminous overlay of 63rd Avenue between T.H. 152 and Beard Avenue is proposed. He reviewed the two options proposed by the City staff for the project and noted that option No. l provides main installation in 63rd Avenue between Beard Avenue and T.H. 152 and option No. 2 provides main installation in 63rd Avenue west from Beard Avenue to the City's west fire station, then south along the station's east side yard driveway and west to T.H. 152, passing between the fire station and the City's well No. 2. In response to a question from Councilmember Hawes, the Director of Public Works discussed the traffic rerouting necessary for the project construction. The City Council continued its discussion of the project including a discussion of the hydraulics of the project.

The City Manager introduced a Resolution Approving Geometric Changes at the Intersection of Brooklyn Boulevard and 56th Avenue North. He explained that consideration of the resolution was tabled at the January 10, 1983 City Council meeting to allow review and discussion by the Economic Development Committee of the Brooklyn Center Chamber of Commerce The Director of 'Public Works reviewed the approaches to the existing intersection and reviewed past instances, of improper turns made at the intersection, including north bound Brooklyn Boulevard traffic making a left turn onto the slip ramp and west bound traffic on >56th Avenue North proceeding straight across Brooklyn Boulevard to the service road on the east side of Brooklyn Boulevard. He added that there have also been incidents of cars from the service road going the wrong way on the slip ramp to cross or get onto Brooklyn Boulevard. The Director of Public Works reviewed proposals for changing the geometric of the intersection. He noted that the Chamber Committee objected to the original staff proposal but that the Committee supported the overlay project on Brooklyn 1 -24 -83 -4- CORRECTED COPY Boulevard. He again emphasized that the Chamber of Commerce Committee was opposed to the staff proposal for the change in geometrics at the intersection. He explained the Chamber Committee recommended that the slip ramp be closed and that if additional improvements are needed at the intersection, they recommended the installation of a traffic signal instead of geometric changes. The Director of.Public Works reviewed traffic counts obtained at the intersection on January 24, 1983. He explained the counts were obtained by City staff and t that the time of day of the counts was between 3x00 p.m. and 5 :00 p.m. He pointed out that after the staff reviewed the recommendations from the Chamber of Commerce the alternate resolution, which is before the Council this evening, was drafted. Mayor.Nyquist suggested closing off all traffic from 56th across Brooklyn Boulevard. The City Manager explained the staff's original'proposal had been prepared because` of the through movement across the intersection. The City Manager reviewed the past recommendation for making the existing private road, east of Brooklyn Boulevard, a public roadway. He explained that objections were received from businesses in the area but that he believed the recommendation to make the road a public roadway was a sound recommendation. He added that, by making the existing private road a public roadway it would have added to improve the circulation of traffic in the area. Councilmember Hawes discussed the intersection and stated that he believed it should be closed for traffic _coming off of 56th Avenue and desiring to go south on Brooklyn Boulevard. The Director of Public Works explained the south bound alternatives for this traffic would be 55th Avenue or south to the T.H. 100 exit ramp. Councilmember Hawes also recommended that the left turn lan- for traffic proceeding south on Brooklyn Boulevard and desiring to turn; onto 56th Avenue be extended. Mayor Nyquist inquired as to the time schedule for the project and whether the Traffic Safety Committee could review the project. The Director of Public Works stated that has requested an immediate answer since they plan to send out the bids for the project in April of this year.' Councilmember Hawes commented that he believes the proposal for changes in the geometries of the intersection would not reduce the traffic into the Brookdale area but could _actually improve it. The Director of Public Works agreed with Councilmember Hawes and added that the City Manager has also indicated this. Councilmember Scott stated that she believes the left turn onto Brooklyn Boulevard s from 56th Avenue is a bad situation and should be eliminated. Councilmember Theis added that he would like to eliminate the left turn onto Brooklyn Boulevard.from 56th Avenue North, and pointed out that he believes it is a hazardous traffic situation. Mayor N uist recognized Mr. Bill Pieper, President of First Brookdale State y y�I g P , Bank. Mr. Pieper presented the Council with a resolution regarding the 56th Avenue and Brooklyn Boulevard intersection and explained that it was approved by the Chamber Economic Development Committee. On behalf 1 -24 -83 -5- of the First Brookdale State Bank, Mr. Pieper stated that he was opposed to the left turn onto Brooklyn Boulevard being eliminated. He added that he believes the bank has eliminated much of the traffic in the.area by eliminating its auto bank location_ He added that 30% to one -third of the bank's customers prefer to', -go south on Brooklyn Boulevard and that he also believes the merge lane from 56th *going north on Brooklyn Boulevard is not long enough now and adding more cars would do no service. Councilmember Scott and Hawes both indicated that they bank at First Brookdale State Bank and when desiring to travel south on Brooklyn Boulevard from the bank they do not use the 56th Avenue route, Councilmember Lhotka stated he would like to combine the resolutions of the staff and Chamber and see that the slip ramp is closed off. There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka to accept the staff proposal for geometric changes at the intersection of Brooklyn Boulevard and 56th Avenue North and to also include the recommendation of the Chamber Economic Development Committee to close the slip ramp at 56th Avenue and extend the left turn lane on south bound Brooklyn Boulevard at 56th Avenue. In discussion of the motion, Councilmember Theis inquired whether the Council could take more time to consider the changes and allow the Traffic Safety Committee to review the proposals, given the fact that MN /DOT would be aware of the alternatives. The Director of Public Works stated that the only way this could be done would be to change the MN /DOT contract with a change order and that it might be doubtful as to whether or not MN /DOT would accept this after the contract is let. Councilmember Hawes stated that if it would be a matter of cost borne by the City, he would accept the cost of the increased stacking lane on Brooklyn Boulevard at 56th. Councilmember Hawes seconded the motion on the floor and upon vote being taken thereon, the following vo':ed in favor thereof: Voting in favor: 'Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Lhotka, Scott, Hawes, and Theis.

The City Manager introduced a Resolution Authorizing Joint and Cooperative Agreement for Use of Fire Personnel and Equipment -North Suburban Regional Mutual Aid Association. Councilmember Hawes commented that on page 4, subdivision 7 of the agreement, it appears that if the City's fire department is on afire in another City, the other City's Chief appears to he in charge. Fire Chief Ron Boman explained that the Chief in charge of the City usually delegates authority for- various sections of the fire to a member of a group from another City. Councilmember Hawes then inquired if the other City's Chief ordered Brooklyn Center's forces and equipment into specific areas of a fire, would the City of Brooklyn Center be liable for any damages. Fire Chief Boman stated that he would defer this.question to the City Attorney but pointed out that each City is asked to carry an adequate amount of liability ould refuse t City inquired whether he '1't 'assurance.

The City Manager `introduced a Resolution Establishing Employee Retirement Incentive Program. The City Manager explained, that in light of current and continuing budget cutbacks, the Council had instructed the staff to pursue a means to reduce the City staff through attrition. He added that he believes the plan presented to the Council will be cost effective for the City: Councilmember Lhotka requested an example of the maximum benefit under the plan. The City Manager explained the reason for the maximum benefit is that the formula for calculating the dollar amount is the number of months until an - employee or an employee's spouse reaches age 65 times $125. Councilmember Lhotka requested the City Attorney to comment on the proposed retirement program. The City Attorney commented that Ms. Dayle'Nolan has been 1 -24 -83 -7- working with the City Manager on the development of the program. - He inquired whether the $15,000 would,be paid on the day the employee retires or in a.series of payments. The City Manager explained the amount, would be paid in a lump sum.. The City Attorney commented that perhaps the actuarial equivalent of the amount could be paid to the employee in installments at less cost to the City. The Citj Manager explained that in order to maintain the attractiveness of the incentive retirement program, the lump sum payment may be advisable. He noted that health care costs are increasing and that the $15,000 could be invested to off -set the increasing cost. He added that the method of payment to the employee must be weighed against the cost to the City. Councilmember Hawes inquired whether the resignation could be rescinded once it is submitted. The City Manager explained that the resignation would be final but the employee could appeal to the City Council. He explained that for planning purposes the finality of the resignation, when submitted, is advisable. Councilmember Theis expressed a concern that 2� years may be too long a time for the employee to plan his or her retirement, and that he is not totally comfortable with the five _months open window period to select the plan. The City Manager explained that Ms. Dayle Nolan, of the City's Attorney Office, stated that the program must be offered over an extended period so that the money could not be considered a gift or gratuity but rather as a benefit. He added that the purpose; of the six month period is to give time to the employee to seriously think about retirement. The City Manager explained that by extending the time period out 2 years, more persons could be included in the program and it would allow a better planning process for future budgeting. He added that he has found some employees may:.be considering retirement, but at the present time are hesitating to do so because of the cost of health insurance. Councilmember Lhotka stated that he is in favor of such a plan but would like to consider it further and allow more time for review. There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Theis to table consideration of a Resolution Establishing Employee Retirement Incentive' Progam until the February 14, 1983 City Council meeting. Voting in favor :. Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Lhotka, Scott, Hawes, and Theis. Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously.
