CORRECTION
RESOLUTION APPROVING AMENDMENTS TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
BYLAWS
RESOLUTION NO. 92 -43
Member Jerry Pedlar introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION AMENDING BYLAWS OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Celia
Scott and the motion passed unanimously.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
The City Manager reviewed information provided to the Council on legislative issues. He
explained the Governor's proposed budget cuts could result in potential damage to cities and
may result in a reduction of services. In 1989, Brooklyn Center received LGA of $2.7
million which was reduced in 1990 to $1.9 million and in 1991 was further reduced to $1.7
million. The Governor's plan calls for another LGA reduction to $595,570. If approved,
this would produce crippling of the City's vital services. The City Manager reviewed the
percentage of reduction represented by the Governor's proposal and recommended adoption
of a resolution opposing Local Government Aid reductions.
Councilmember Cohen reviewed a printout of LGA payments to various cities and pointed
out if approved, Brooklyn Center would receive the largest percentage of cut in the metro
area, if not the state. He added the proposed cut would last for two years. Councilmember
Cohen suggested municipalities act as a group to protest these cuts which would wreak
devastation for communities. He indicated support of the proposed resolution and suggested
it also reflect the fact the cut was for 1992 and 1993 as well. The Council agreed.
Council supported Councilmember Cohen's suggestion communities organize as a group to
meet with legislators and bring forth concerns further LGA cuts would result in, including
the City's ability to deliver services. Councilmember Cohen indicated he would like to (with
Council's concurrence) appear before the Financial Task Force to review this information.
Councilmember Pedlar, liaison to the Financial Task Force, welcomed Councilmember
Cohen's input.
Councilmember Cohen pointed out the proposed LGA cuts were really a contradiction to
why the City supported a sales tax increase, which was to find a system where local
governments could finance assistance independent of budgeting. He pointed out funds
which were not permanently dedicated can be easily tapped for other uses, and there was
pending legislation to have this as a constitutionally dedicated fund. Councilmember Cohen
encouraged the Governor and legislators to stand up to their word regarding the reason for
increasing the sales tax.
3/9/92 -9-
I
Councilmember Scott concurred and pointed out the difficulties which arise with mid -year
budget cuts when the City was not in a position to raise any more funds. The City Manager
agreed this could present a difficult situation. He added the cuts were disproportionate
towards the city.
Council agreed with Mayor Paulson's suggestion the resolution emphasize the proposed
LGA cuts would affect the City's ability to provide fire and police protection, and plowing
services. He also supported going on record in support of finding new tools to work with
redevelopment of a transportation utility fund. Mayor Paulson suggested the response
directed to legislators reflect a positive note pointing out the City was providing local
government services.
The City Manager reviewed the bill being worked on by the Northern Metro Mayor's
Association as well as TIF Plan amendments
RESOLUTION NO. 92 -44
Member Philip Cohen introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION OPPOSING LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID REDUCTIONS
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Dave
Rosene and the motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager suggested the Council consider adoption of a resolution addressing the
City's concern about supporting an increase in sales tax and the break of faith by legislators
as well as pointing out the need for new tools, such as the Utility Transportation Fund and
redevelopment tax increment. Mayor Paulson concurred and suggested it be addressed at
the March 23 meeting.
The Public Works Director reported the League of Minnesota Cities and Engineering
Association have indicated it appears there was no probability it would be passed by the
current legislature but some hearings were being held. The League was working with
legislators to familiarize them with this concept.
The City Manager indicated staff will prepare a forward looking resolution regarding this
matter.
METROPOLITAN HOUSING REVITALIZATION FUND
Councilmember Cohen suggested the Council consider supporting legislation to create a
Metropolitan Housing Revitalization Fund which would provide $5 million for revitalizing
housing in the metropolitan area. He provided a brief update on this bill and noted the
Metropolitan Council has appointed a board to determine funding criteria. Councilmember
Cohen suggested the Council consider a resolution in support of this legislation which would
be heard in the House on Wednesday and the Senate on Friday.
3/9/92 - 10-
The City Manager pointed out the Council was already on record supporting the principals
of this legislation before the Metropolitan Council so it makes sense to support it before the
Legislature too.
RESOLUTION NO. 92 -45
Member Dave Rosene introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING A METROPOLITAN HOUSING REVITALIZATION
FUND (HOUSE FILE 2741 - SENATE FILE 2489)
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member
Philip Cohen and the motion passed unanimously.
PARK & RECREATION COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION RE: PURCHASE OF
PROPERTY AT 4100 51ST AVENUE NORTH
The City Manager indicated in December, 1991, Ron Brixius called to ask if the City was
interested in purchasing his house and property at 4100 51st Avenue North. The purchase
of this property was anticipated in the "Middle Twin Lake Park Study" concept plan. The
matter was reviewed by the Park and Recreation Commission who recommend purchasing
the property for future park development if it can be done at a reasonable price.
The Director of Public Works, with use of an overhead, pointed out the location of existing
houses, vacant property, flood plain, etc. In response to Councilmember Cohen's question,
he indicated the house, on the outside, appears to be in fairly good condition but he was
unsure of the inside condition. If the City does purchase the property and has no need for
the house, it could be sold by taking bids for its removal. However, this was a two -story
house that may be too expensive to move due to overhead power lines.
Councilmember Cohen questioned the long -term planned use for this property. The
Director of Public Works indicated it was to be for an open space use primarily as a focal
point for the trail system which would encircle all three lakes. He pointed out a lot of the
surrounding area was located in the flood plain and may become available for purchase in
the future. It was noted some ground water contamination may exist due to the existing
septic tank system on the Brixius property.
There was a motion by Councilmember Cohen and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
direct staff to proceed to hire a private appraiser, negotiate and provide a recommendation
for Council's consideration.
Councilmember Rosene stated there were not a lot of overhead utility lines in this area and
he was optimistic about being able to move the house to another location. He asked if it
could be moved across the ice. The Director of Public Works indicated he was optimistic
about the City being able to sell the house, but not about moving it across the ice.
The motion passed unanimously.
3/9/92
CORRECTION
RECOMMENDATION FROM FINANCIAL TASK FORCE REGARDING
COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR POSITION
The City Manager indicated the Financial Task Force, at their February 27, 1992, meeting
reviewed the proposed Communications Coordinator concept and recommended to the
Council that it be considered as part of the Council's Financial and Service Prioritization
Process.
Mayor Paulson suggested this matter be tabled until the March 23 Council meeting so it can
be further addressed at that time.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Pedlar to
table further consideration of the Communications Coordinator Position until the March 23,
1992, Council meeting. The motion passed unanimously.
PROPOSED BROOKLYN PARK/BROOKLYN CENTER JOINT MEETING AGENDA
The City Manager reviewed the agenda proposed for the Brooklyn Center/Brooklyn Park
joint meeting of March 16, 1992, at 7:30 p.m. in the Brooklyn Park Council Chambers and
asked the Council if they would like to make any changes.
Councilmember Rosene suggested the Council add item 6, Transportation - Zane Avenue
and 694. The City Manager pointed out the Council had already indicated support of
funding for 610.
Councilmember Cohen pointed out completion of 610 would result in added pressure on the
streets north and south of it. He felt this would be a good time to address these concerns
since it may result in the need to create wider streets and /or involvement with wetland areas
and storm sewer needs.
Councilmember Cohen suggested item 1 (Housing) include a discussion of the Brooklyn
Boulevard Study. Mayor Paulson concurred and suggested this discussion be extended to
include other areas as well.
Council consensus was reached to approve the joint meeting agenda as modified.
RESOLUTIONS CONTINUED
AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF ONE (1) 1/2 TON PICKUP
Councilmember Rosene asked if a car getting 40 miles per gallon would be a more
economical vehicle to transport members of the Public Utility Department. The Director
of Public Works responded the one -half ton truck was fairly small and just as economical
as a assen e
r vehicle. Also th
P g e truck could be used to handle other needs of the Public
Utility Department, such as hauling materials, tools and equipment. The truck would be
used by various personnel and not be considered a supervisory vehicle. The City Manager
added passenger vehicles were sometimes used if more practical.

I
Kristen Mann, 5415 East Twin Lake Boulevard, stated she was also opposed to the
Communications Coordinator Position due to budget and State Aid cutbacks. She suggested
communications be improved through existing resources such as revitalization of community
groups, use of cable tv, town meetings, and increased press releases in the City's two
newspapers. Ms. Mann felt the money would be better spent in areas of consulting,
domestic abuse prevention, and police protection,

continue the Open Forum to the end of the agenda.

MULARONI AND ASSOC'IATESYTOMORROW k'OUll_�
The City Manager introduced Planning Commission application No. 92005 which is a request
for site and building plan approval to construct a 7,754 square foot office /industrial building
at the southeast quadrant of Shingle Creek Parkway and 69th Avenue North, and
Application No. 92006 which is a request for a variance from Section 35413 of the Zoning
Ordinance to allow, on a temporary basis, a buffer strip of less than 50 feet across Shingle
Creek Parkway from R -3 zoned property. He explained the two applications were reviewed
and recommended for approval by the Planning Commission at their March 12, 1992
meeting.
The Director of Planning and Inspection presented details of the applications and explained
a special use permit was not required since a retail operation was not being requested. The
site plan, proposed landscaping and parking area as well as the variance request were then
reviewed. The Director of Planning and Inspection pointed out the existing and future
Shingle Creek Parkway alignment and the area which would be vacated in the future.
Councilmember Cohen asked if a bond would be required. The Director of Planning and
Inspection explained previously a similar variance was approved along Highway 252 but a
financial guarantee was not required, only an agreement. Councilmember Cohen indicated
he would prefer a bond was required in case the property changed hands or development
does not occur. The City Attorney pointed out the variance would be limited in term until
Shingle Creek Parkway was vacated. He explained a title opinion on the fee interest was
needed, but the vacated property would most likely revert to the abutting property. The City
Manager suggested Council consider a condition to require the vacated portion be attached
to the property and irrigation and landscaping extended into that area.
In response to Council's questions, the Director of Planning and Inspection reviewed weight
road restrictions and indicated the petitioner had indicated not many semitrucks would
access this site Councilmember Scott stated she was also concerned about truck access.
Mike MularonL applicant, stated only small panel trucks were used for shipping. They had
calculated the turning radius and then redesigned the layout to provide for an easier turning
movement. Also, they were interested in the vacated portion of Shingle Creek Parkway,
especially for signage purposes. Mr. Mularoni reviewed the proposed building plan and
pointed out they would incorporate a future expansion into the footing foundation design.
In response to Councilmember Pedlar's question, Mr. Mularoni explained they had been in
this business since 1958 but this would be their first company owned plant. He added they
sell frozen food products and would also be handling dry goods. They also sell freezers and
offer the frozen food at a reduced rate if a freezer was purchased.

Mayor Paulson indicated there was a need in the northwest suburbs to p rovide food
assistance to low income people. He felt there may be some potential to carry on the
Brooklyn Center tradition with corporate citizenship and helping with donations to area food
shelves, Mayor Paulson stated he was reluctant to make this a condition, but suggested it
be addressed. Mr. Mularoni explained they do not currently have a company policy
regarding contributions to food shelves, but would be willing to look into it.
Mayor Paulson opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on Planning
Commission Application No. 92006 at 7 :57 p,m, He inquired if there was anyone present
who wished to address the Council, No one appeared to spcak, and he entertained a motion
to close the public hearing.
There was a motion by Councilmember Pedlar and seconded by Councilmember Rosene to
close the public hearing at 7:57 p,m. The motion passed unanimously.
In response to Mayor Paulson's question, the Director of Planning and Inspection indicated
the formal application is signed by the applicant. If approved, the official minutes of the
Council action with conditions for approval were the official record and forwarded to the
applicant. Council consensus was reached that copies of the formal application need not be
submitted separately to the Council as long as they were available for review at the meeting.
With regard to the USDA room indicated on the building plan, Mr. Mularoni explained it
was for the USDA inspector's use.
Councilmember Rosene expressed concern that residents may be tempted to over - extend
themselves financially by purchasing a freezer they don't really need to get the frozen food
at a reduced rate. Mr. Mularoni responded clients do not have to purchase a freezer and
could just purchase the food. They offer the food at a reduced cost if a freezer was
purchased in order to off -set the cost somewhat. Mr. Mularoni emphasized they were in the

was designed for middle to upper middle income people. Mr. MuIaroni explained the cost
difference was slight whether a freezer was purchased or not, but the length of time was
longer.
Mayor Paulson stated the City was always looking for innovative ways to address problems
and asked the Council if they want to consider a condition requesting the petitioner to
submit a policy on community or food shelf contributions. Councilmember Pedlar stated he
understood the need but would be uncomfortable with placing a condition of this type.
Councilmember Scott concurred and felt it would be inappropriate to attach a condition on
a new business to require something that was not required of an existing business. Mayor
Paulson stated he was also uncomfortable with making it a requirement but felt the option
should be discussed. He added he was concerned that the business, after being in business
since 1958, did not have an established contribution policy in place.

There was a brief discussion regarding the variance proposal. The City Manager pointed
out the petitioner had expressed interest in obtaining and expanding into the vacated
property. He suggested the Council may want to consider a condition requiring an extension
of the landscaping and sprinkling system into this vacated portion.
3/23/92 -10-
There was a motion by Councilmember Cohen and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
approve Planning Commission Application No. 92046 submitted by Kdaroni and
Associates/ Tomorrow Foods for a temporary variance from Section 35 -413 of the Zoning
Ordinance to allow a buffer strip of less than 50 feet across Shingle Creek Parkway from R-
3 zoned property conditioned on submission of a performance bond to guarantee the
extension of landscaping and the sprinkler system into the vacated portion of property.
Mr. Mularoni stated he had no objection to extending landscaping and the sprinkling system
but was opposed to having to provide a bond since they do not have control of the Shingle
Creels Parkway road project, He added the property in question was the "front door" to
their property and they would want to assure it appears well kept.
Councilmember Cohen offered an amendment to his original motion and Councilmember
Scott (who seconded the original motion) agreed to the amendment to approve Planning
Commission Application No. 92006 subject to the following findings and conditions:
1. The circumstance of unstable soil on a portion of the site and the relationship of the
parcel to public streets makes orientation of the building toward the western portion
of the site the most rational Iocation for the building. Imposing the required 50'
buffer from the existing right -of -way line will unnecessarily burden the development
of the property and constitutes a hardship.
2. The circumstance of impending right -of -way vacation is relatively unique. Similarly
situated properties have, in the past, been granted variances from the literal provisions
of the Zoning Ordinance.
3. The soil Conditions and the future right -of -way vacation work to create a hardship in
the development of this property and these circumstances have not been created by
anyone presently or formerly having an interest in the parcel of land.
4. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to other property or
improvements in the neighborhood because the property will be in compliance once
the realignment of Shingle Creek Parkway has been completed.
5. Variance approval is granted on an interim basis until the realignment of Shingle
Creek Parkway is completed. Once the realignment is completed, the property shall
comply with the requirement for a 50' buffer strip across from R -1 and R -3 property.
No further variance is granted or implied.
6, Tomorrow Foods shall enter into an agreement with the City to acquire and to extend
landscaping and the underground irrigation system into the vacated Shingle Creek
Parkway right -of -way area.
The amended motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Paulson extended the Council's welcome to Mr. Mularoni.

CHAI( ER REGARDINQ CQUNCIL. VAC N IE, no City Manager presented An Ordinance Amending Section 2.05 of the Brooklyn Center
City Charter Regarding Council Vacancies which was offered for first reading. He noted
this amendment was recommended by the Charter Commission.
Mayor Paulson stated he attended several Charter Commission meetings where the issue of
filling Council vacancies received a lot of attention. Also, Charter Commission members
met individually with Co
uncilmembe
rs to
Y gain their input. Mayor Paulson stated he felt the
proposed ordinance addresses the issues and moves in the right direction by shortening the
term for appointed positions. He added he would prefer an even shorter term.
Councilmember Rosene complimented the Charter Commission for their work in addressing
concerns. He then suggested several minor wording changes to clarify the intent of the
ordinance.
Councilmember Cohen stated he had indicated to the Charter Commission that he would
oppose the proposed Ordinance. He pointed out that the election schedule was first
changed on the basis that holding elections every year was a waste of money and resulted
in a low voter turnout; however, the ordinance contains no statement regarding the cost of
special elections. Due to the high cost of holding special elections, Councilmember Cohen
suggested this matter be referred to the Financial Task Force for their recommendation.
The City Manager estimated the cost for a special election could be from $5,000 to $8,000
depending on staffing needs. Councilmember Cohen stated he opposed the proposed
ordinance and felt it Should be voted can by the residents of Brooklyn Center.
Councilmember Pedlar, liaison to the Financial Task Force, felt it would be difficult and
inappropriate to. burden them with this type of consideration. Councilmember Cohen
withdrew the suggestion Councilmember Pedlar pointed out the ordinance was only
addressing appointment of a councilmember in an off year election, which would probably
not happen very often.
There was a motion by Councilmember Pedlar and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
approve first reading of An Ordinance Amendin g Section 2 .05 of the Brooklyn Center ci
Charter Regarding Council Vacancies.
With regard to the last paragraph of Section 1, Mayor Paulson stated he does not feel
"special consideration" should be given to former councilmembers beyond an examination
of their qualifications. Councilmember Rosene pointed out this only applies when the
membership of the Council was fewer than three members. In that case, the Council may
want to consider someone who was familiar with all aspects of City government.
Councilmember Rosene indicated he shared Councilmember Cohen's concern regarding the
3/23/92
high cost to hold a special election and small voter turnout. Councilmember Scott
concurred.
The City Attorney reviewed this section
of the ordinance as well as Section 3.01.
Ron Christensen, Charter Commission, explained they wanted to limit the appointment time
to one year and agreed there may be some areas that require clarification. He reported the
Charter Commission was concerned about whether the voters should make this decision or
not but members spoke with Councilmcmbers and felt they agreed with the proposed
amendment. Mr. Christensen stated he was aware that Councilmember Cohen did object
and wanted it to go to the voters.
Councilmember Pedlar suggested the matter be tabled so the ordinance could be referred
to the Charter Commission for further clarification. Mr. Christensen agreed this would be
appropriate and suggested the Council submit comments so they have a full understanding
of where the Council stands.
Councilmember Pedlar withdrew his motion and Councilmember Scott agreed to withdraw
the second to the motion.
There was a motion by Couneilmember Pedlar and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
table consideration of this item and refer it to the Charter Commission for clarification and
to make recommendations on concerns addressed tonight.
The i
C ty Manager estimated there was 13,000 to 15,000 registered voters and the last
election had an 86 °/a voter turnout. Councilmember Cohen stated this would be around
10,000 voters. He indicated he would submit a memorandum to the Charter Commission
outlining his position. Councilmember Cohen stated he felt work of the Charter
Commission was very important. He added an overwhelming majority of voters indicated
they wanted to eliminate each year elections, and he felt that also included special elections.
The City Attorney indicated he would research and provide Council with information on the
procedure for referring inn the matter e to the electorate.

The motion to table passed unanimously.
Councilmember Rosene stated he appreciated the time spent by the Charter Commission
and it
the extra effort in talking to each of b

County Community Development Block Grant Program was $217,491, which was somewhat
lower than the initial estimated allocation.
Tom Bublitz, Assistant EDA Coordinator, presented the Brooklyn Center Community
Development Block Grant Citizens Participation Committee recommendation by providing
a brief explanation of each program being considered. Mayor Paulson requested a list of
Committee members for himSelf and the Councilmembers.
In response to Councilmember Scott's question, Mr. Bublitz explained the Neighborhood
Public Service Project would provide minor home maintenance and repair services to elderly
or disabled persons and would be restricted to repair items and not include homemaking
services or seasonal work services. He added Brooklyn Center would be the first community
in the northern suburbs to take advantage of this program, if approved. Councilmember
Scott expressed support of this program as a way of assisting the elderly in being able to
better maintain their homes.

DISCUSSION ITEMS
ADM
INISTRATXVE TRAFFIC COMMITTEE REPORT RE: TRAFFIC CONTROL ON
59TH AND 60TH AVENUES NORTH BETWEEN BROOKLYN BOULEVARD AND
XERXES AVENUE
The Director
r of Public Works reported h
Porte the Administrative Traffic Committee (A't "L) met
with Tom Slupske regarding the installation of four -way stop signs at every intersection on
59th and .60 Avenues between Brooklyn Boulevard and Xerxes Avenue North as a means
to reduce cut - through traffic. Staff also met with Mr. Slupske to research alternatives that
would be acceptable to all parties. As a result of these meetings, the ATC recommended,
for a one year trial basis, the installation of four -way stop signs at Beard and at zenith on
both 59th and 60th Avenues, They also recommend the installation of two -way stop signs
at the other north/south streets to improve overall traffic safety. If the situation had not
improved at the end of the one year trial period, staff would evaluate traffic barrier options.
Also, the ATC was willing to consider the installation of a sidewalk on the north side of 59th
Avenue.
Councilmember Cohen brought up the issue of diverting traffic to other streets to the north.
The Director of Public Works agreed this was a concern and was discussed previously when
barriers were being considered. He added a detailed review of the conditions for each of
these intersections indicated none of them mcet MNDOT warrants for installation of stop
signs. Councilmember Cohen questioned the City's liability with installing stop signs that
do not meet State warrants,
Councilmember Pedlar commended the residents and staff for working out this situation.
He pointed out these streets are located in an internal neighborhood that should not be
encumbered by high traffic volumes moving at excessive speeds, He indicated support of
the recommendation and felt it would b a "step orward" for this neighborhood.
e
P 8
Tom Slupske, 5918 Abbott Avenue North, stated the purpose was to reduce traffic levels and
speeds. Councilmember Scott ointed out this neighborhood had a large P Sh a number of children $
and she encouraged parents to impress on them that all cars may not stop at the stop signs,
especially when the signs were first installed.
Councilmember Rosene pointed out the Council had received similar complaints from
residents in other areas of Brooklyn enter regarding cut-through traffic and high speeds,
Yn g $ g l;
such as the area of 72nd and France Avenues. He expressed concern about a proliferation
of stop signs throughout the City and indicated support of developing a plan which
designated high, medium and low volume roads. Councilmember Rosene stated he would
support looking at sidewalks in this area and questioned the assessment. The City Manager
responded that traditionally, the City only installs sidewalks on thoroughfares or major
routes to schools or shopping centers. In those cases, the City pays for the cost of sidewalk
installation and winter plowing.
3/23/92 -
/2/2 li-
Councilmember Cohen questioned speeds in excess of 60 miles per hour as mentioned by
Mr. Slupske. Mr. Slupske indicated this was hearsay, and not shown on a Police
Department radar study. Councilmember Cohen shared Councilmember Rosene's concern
with possible proliferation of stop signs which may not actually address the concern,
especially if they don't meet traffic warrants. Mr. Slupske explained residents feel this
compromise position would decrease traffic and increase safety.
Mayor Paulson supported the installation of stop signs as a way of increasing traffic safety
and home safety as well since he felt it may reduce crime by restricting access into a
community, He felt the ATC recommendation was a good first step and results could be
studied to determine effectiveness.
Councilmember Rosene complimented staff and residents for being able to reach this
compromise.
RESOLUTION NO, 92 -60
Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION REGARDING TRAFFIC CONTROL ON 59TH AND 60TH AVENUES
NORTH BETWEEN BROOKLYN BOULEVARD AND XERXES AVENUE NORTH
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Dave
Rosene the motion passed unanimously.
STATUS REPORT REGARDING 69TH AVENU IMPROVEMENT PROJECT' NO,
1990 -10
The Director of Public Works explained a partial failure had occurred in the surcharge area
through Palmer Lake. He then reviewed the recommended alternates submitted by the
City's consultants, SEH, Inc. and STS. They recommend the installation of a "wick drain"
system into the subgrade which would hasten the drainage process and achieve stability to
allow the completion of the roadway in 1993. Staff reviewed the alternates presented and
concur with the consultant's recommendation to install a wick drain system. The estimated
cast was $190,000 making the total contract approximately $774,597, which was still well
below the June 24, 1991, estimate,
Councilmember Pedlar questioned the future integrity of this road in ten to fifteen years if
the recommendation was fpilowed. The Director of Public Works indicated rucurds have
shown the road would stay in good condition once it was stabilized.
Richard Moore, SEH, explained the process used to install a wick drain system as well as
using sandstone columns. The Director of Public Works indicated staff dots not feel the
construction of a bridge was a financially feasible option. The City Manager added if this
section of roadway were to fail, it could be repaired and eventually when it stabilizes the
permanent section of roadway with curb and gutter could be completed.
3/23/92 -17-
In response to Councilmember Pedlar's question, Mr. Moore explained that while they were
unable to guarantee this system they were very optimistic. The Director of Public Works
reviewed VISA standards as well as the existing and future roadway alignment.
There was a motion by Councilmember Cohen and seconded by Councilmember Pedlar to
authorize SEH to proceed with acquisition of required permit extensions; develop final plans
and specifications for installation of a wick drain system; conduct negotiations with Ames
Construction for a change order to contract No. 1991 -I to provide for installation of a wick
drain system; request MNDOT approval of such change order and use of Municipal State
Aid funds to cover such costs; and to present such change order, along with an amendment
to the City's professional services agreement with SEH covering the additional engineering
8 g
costs, for Council consideration. The motion passed unanimously.
RECOMMENDATION FOR PARK & RECREATION COMMISSION
A
IMPLEMENTATI OF AN ADOPT- A- PARKTrRAIUSTREET PRQGRA -M
The Director of Public Works reviewed the proposed adopt- a- park/trail/street program
designed to solicit volunteer efforts from community groups to help maintain these areas.
He explained it was modeled after other successful programs conducted by MNDOT and
other cities, and was being recommended for adoption by the Park and Recreation
Commission,
Councilmember Scott stated she supported this type of program as a way to instill
community pride. She encouraged residents to note license plate numbers of anyone the
see dumping trash on City property. Councilmember Rosene concurred and pointed out
that twelve years of age was the limit for the MNDOT Adopt -A- Highway program so he felt
the City's program would fill the need for younger participants. Mayor Paulson agreed and
reviewed the MTC program.
Councilmember Cohen questioned the administrative cost for this program. The Director
of Public Works indicated staff does not feel it would be significant and would be absorbed
into existing staffing. With regard to insurance liability, the City Manager explained the
City's insurance would extend to the volunteer if it was formally adopted as a City Program.
Councilmember Cohen suggested staff draft a resolution to include these matters as well as
a method for assuring performance.
Councilmember Rosene expressed support of the program. Due to budget constraints, he
suggested staff contact community service groups or businesses to see if they would be
interested in helping fund a special recognition night for those involved in this program.
Councilmember Cohen stated he would not support directing staff to approach businesses
for contn`butions.
There was a motion by Councilmember Cohen and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
support the recommended Adopt- A- Park/I'rail /Street Program and direct staff to draft a
detailed policy for Council's consideration. The motion passed unanimously.

ASSESSING DEPARTMENT STAFFING REQUESTS
The City Manager explained the Assessment Technician resigned recently. A reorganization
of staffing was being onsidered in response to the Financial and Service Prioritization
g p ce
process. Conducting this reorganization now would avoid downgrading an employee and
result in minimal disruption.
Mayor Paulson asked if the Financial Task Force should make a recommendation.
Councilmember Pedlar indicated it was probably not necessary.
There was a motion by Councilmember Pedlar and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
replace one Assessment Technician position with one Assessing secretary Pusieiun and to
adopt the revised position description for the remaining Assessment Technician to reflect
new responsibilities and requirements. The motion passed unanimously.
_RESQLIJTION NO. 92 -61
Momber Jerry Pedlar introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION AMENDING 1992 PAY PLAN AND 1992 GENERAL BUDGET TO
IMPLEMENT CHANGES IN THE ORGANIZA7I70N OF THE ASSESSING
DEPARTMENT
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Celia
Scott the motion passed unanimously.
LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
The City Manager reviewed LOA cuts being proposed by the Legislature and the affect this
would have on the City's budget.
Councilmember Cohen provided a brief update on Legislative action and recommended the
Council not take a position until the Legislature had made a final decision.
Councilmember Pedlar indicated he hoped there would be a way to identify funding other
than staff cuts which he felt causes an erosion in morale. He suggested staff be inf rmed
about the possibility that the Legislature may be reconsidering large cuts to provide a
"glimmer of hope ", The City Manager assured the Council this was being done through the
employee newsletter but it was difficult to indicate specifics when it was unknown what level
of service may be affected,
The Council briefly discussed the need to streamline the budget, "do more with less ", and
budget impact if the Legislature lifts the levy limitation. Councilmember Cohen suggested
the Financial Task Force look at other sources of revenue including franchise fees.

defer discussion of Civic Ccnter expansion needs to a special meeting to be scheduled by
staff. The motion passed unanimously.

NONPROFIT HUMAN SERVICE OGRAMS/ GENCIES' CONTRIBUTION
REO UJ STS
The Per5onncl Coordinator reviewed the proposed amendments and updates to the
application and evaluation forms being recommended by the Human Rights and Resources
Commission. These forms were used to review financial requests from nonprofit human
service programs and agencies.
Mayor Paulson commended the Human Rights and Resources Commission for this ground
breaking work that would probably be duplicated by the Park and Recreation Commission
and other areas as well. CQuncilmember Rosene concurred.
The City Attorney pointed out the Council does not have the legal authority to make
"eontn`butions" and recommended the language be somewhat modified. The City Manager
suggested the term "request for payment" be used to eliminate confusion. Council consensus
was reached to revise the wording as recommended.
There was a motion by Councilmember Rosene and seconded by Councilmember Pedlar to
approve the revised application and evaluation forms for nonprofit human service
programs /agencies' contribution requests. The motion passed unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS (CONTINUEM
AMENDING THE 1992 FNERAL FUND BUDGET FOR EXPENSES RELATED TO
RECRUITMENT QF A PONCE all EF
The City Manager indicated Police Chief Jim Lindsay had submitted a latter of retirement
effective September 12, 1992. Staff recommended the Council consider initiation of the
recruitment process for a new police chief with the aid of a professional consultant with
expertise in this area. The City Manager suggested equal consideration be given to all
applicants, both inside and outside of the organization.
3/23/92 -20-
In response to Council's questions, the Personnel Coordinator indicated several other
Communities were currently seeking a Police Chief; however, those communities wcrc
already well into the process and probably have a different qualification profile in mind.
Because of this, she did not feel a combined effort would be beneficial to Brooklyn Center.
Also, the Data Practices Act would limit the City somewhat in joining with another
community in the process.
Councilmember Cohen questioned the open meeting law and the need to include it. The
Personnel Coordinator agreed it should be incorporated into recruitment step 23.
RESO UUTI0N NO, 92 -62
Mtmbcr Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION AMENDING 1992 GENERAL FUND BUDGET FOR EXPENSES
RELATED TO RECRUITMENT OF A POLICE CHIEF
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Dave
Rosene. The motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Paulson stated that he would support amending the budget to start the process, but
would like to have the Council involved throughout the process including buinb part of the
screening of applicants. He also felt it was important to include citizen input. The
Personnel Coordinator indicated the professional interview panel would include members
from the community, She added the interviews would be videotaped and made available for
the Council to review.
The City Manager pointed out the process being suggested was in conjunction with the City's
Charter with the City Manager making the selection which would be subject to approval by
the Council. Mayer Paulson expressed concern that the Council be involved early in the
process to assure the City Manager was looking for the type of police chief that the Council
wanted.
Councilmember Cohen suggested the consultant meet with Councilmembers individually to
get input on what the Council is looking for. The Personnel Coordinator indicated the
consultant would help staff develop the position profile, which could include talking with
Councilmembers. Councilmember Cohen expressed support for this suggestion since it
would not be a high cost item.
Mayor Paulson stated he would like to provide input in development of the questionnaire
to assure questions asked during the interview reflect the Council's input with the profile.
The Personnel Coordinator responded that questionnaire input could be provided to the
consultant when they met with Councilmembers. The City Manager stated the final
questions to be used must be kept secret so as to not invalidate the process.
3/23/92 -21-
There was a motion by Councilmember Cohen and seconded by Councilmember Pedlar to
move forward with the recruitment process for a new police chief including the upcii
meeting law into recruitment step 23, obtaining Council input in profile development, and
including Council input in development of interview questions.
Mayor Paulson stated he felt there was a need for more Council and resident input into the
process.
Vote: four ayes, one nay. The motion passed. Mayor Paulson voted nay.
REGARDING MUL I- JURISDICTIONAL HO!1SI G AND HUMAN SERVICE
G OPERATIVE
The City Manager indicated the cities of Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Crystal, New
Hope and Robbinsdale have cooperated over the past year to address a number of issues
and to develop projects relative to housing and related issues. The proposed resolution
would formalize this spirit of cooperation, The City Manager added a joint powers
agreement or some other mechanism may be needed in the future.
Councilmember Cohen indicated the Metropolitan Council had established a staff person
to work on this process and if successful, he felt it could be used as a model.
i
RESOLUTIO NO, 92 -63
Member Jerry Pedlar introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION REGARDING MULTI- JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING AND HUMAN
SERVICE COOPERATIVE
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Dave
Rosene the motion passed unanimously.
OPEN FORUM ( ONTINU D)
Don Poss, 3212 65th Avenue N., complimented the Council on the Council Chamber's new
lighting system to facilitate cablecasting meetings. He indicated he had been a resident of
Brooklyn Center, by choice, for 32 years for several reasons including prompt public services,
clean water system, park and trail system, safety, etc. He reviewed the process used when
the City's Charter was developed in 1966 and indicated he felt the Council was always served
by compassionate people who worked in a cooperative effort for the betterment of the City.
Mr. Poss stated he was concerned about the tone of the Mayor's State of the City address
which indicated the citizens had been "living under a form of dictatorship of bureaucracy
government and the City should move away from concrete steel glass towers ". Mr. Poss
stated he felt the City's industrial park had developed very well as it was planned to do in
the 1960s and executed in the 1970s. He also felt the City's major shopping center did not
detract from the community. With regard to the City's form of government, Mr. Poss stated
the City's Charter was clear on who appoints the police chief. Mr. Poss reviewed past
3/23/92 -22-
Mayors who had served the City in a competent compassionate manner and not as "career
politicians" as was becoming the trend in government today.
Mr. Poss stated he felt there had been a major shift in the past fifteen months under Mayor
Paulson, and he objected to the Mayor's calling for a return to a township form of
government. He felt the Mayor was unable to relate to the history of Brooklyn Center and
that the City Charter had been established as the form of government that residents desire.
Mr. Foss stated residents expect stewardship from elected representatives and do not want
to participate in "revolution" if change was only being made for change sake. He suggested
the Council build on the past, not condemn it.
Mayor Paulson stated he has always respected Mr. Poss' opinion and welcomed comments
and opinions regarding his State of the City address as a way to start discussion and receive
input. He encouraged people to also read articles that accompanied his address which
documents changes happening around the country. Mayor Paulson stated he does not feel
his comments should have come as a surprise because they reflect the same position he has
taken with his work on the Council, He added he was not proposing change for the sake
of change, but sees a lot of potential and also has a lot of respect for his predecessors.
Mayor Paulson Suggested a workshop be scheduled to discuss the direction the community
was taking and how to make it an even better place to live in the future.
Councilmember Cohen stated he was concerned the Council was not part of the process in
the State of the City address. He pointed out that the Mayor had indicated he would
provide members with a draft of the speech so they could provide input, but this was not
provided. He felt this would have provided an excellent opportunity to bring others into the
process, Councilmember Cohen agreed with Mr. Poss that the Mayor's State of the City
speech had a misdirected, mean spirited tone. He stated he did not want to discuss the
matter at a worksession but wanted to take, public exception to some of the Mayor's
comments made since it does not serve the community to say the City was moving in the
wrong direction.
Mayor Paulson indicated being Mayor was not his full -time job, and he did not have time
to prepare a speech, distribute it and then incorporate everyone's comments. He added he
had tried several times to contact Councilmember Cohen but was unable to. Mayor Paulson
stated he felt the issues he brought up had merit and should be considered. He encouraged
residents to contact him and provide input regarding the address.
Councilmember Rosene supported the idea of having a philosophical debate at a Council
retreat. Mayor Paulson asked members to inform him if they want to pursue this option.

RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT QF BROOKLYN CENTER LOCAL LIOUOR AND
RESTA�L RANT TAX
The City Manager explained Representative Carruthers contacted him indicating he had an
insertion into the House Tax Bill which would allow cities to place a local liquor and
restaurant tax. He was not able to insert it as a state -wide bill but rather as a city bill. If
approved it would provide a local option that could be implemented by the Council
according to State law.

Councilmember Cohen stated one of Representative Carruthers' concerns in addressing this
issue was the City's ability to deal with apartment problems. He added Representative
Carruthers was sensitive to Brooklyn Center's needs and trying to provide revenue options.
In response to Mayor Paulson's questions, the City Manager reviewed the procedure for
adoption.
RESOLUTION NO. 92 -64
Mcmbcr Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF BROOKLYN CENTER LOCAL LIQUOR AND
RESTAURANT TAX
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Jerry
Pedlar and the motion passed unanimously.
REVIEW OF CIVIC CENTER EXPANSION NEEDS
The City Manager indicated this matter had been tabled at the March 23, 1992, Council
meeting to allow adequate time for discussion. He then reviewed, with the use of an
overhead, the detailed study of physical facility needs which was completed approximately
three years ago. The City Manager also reviewed site constraints due to areas of unsuitable
soils. It was felt long range alternatives would require a bond issue referendum to finance
construction. Short range (interim) options were reviewed which included leasing space for
certain departments and/or moving the Council Chambers to an alternate location to allow
for relocation of certain police functions into the existing Chambers. Another option would
be to build a two -story addition to the south side of the City Hall building along with some
remodeling work.
Councilmember Rosene asked if the Council Chambers could be remodeled to provide two
floors of space. The City Manager indicated this alternative would be quite expensive due
to accessibility requirements and the need for additional support structures.
Councilmember Pedlar indicated the survey conducted in 1989 showed 50% of those
surveyed supported spending additional dollars to make improvements at City Hall for a
Senior Citizen Center and expansion of the Police Department. He agreed the economy had
changed since then, especially as it relates to government aid, but he felt the Council needed
to do something to accommodate existing space needs. Councilmember Pedlar had concerns
with the option of moving the Council Chambers to Constitution Hall or the Heritage
Center but would agree to it (in concept) in order to accommodate the current space needs
of the Police Department. He suggested staff develop a plan indicating how the Council
Chambers could be used and impact to Police Department needs. He pointed out voters
were more cost conscience today due to the recession.
3/30/92 -2-
There was a motion by Councilmember Pedlar and seconded by Councilmember Rosene to
approve, in concept, the expansion of the Police Department into the existing Council
Chambers pending final approval by the Council and submission of plans that indicate what
would be impacted in the downstairs area, how the Chambers would be modified,
soundproofing treatment addressing water slide use, and how the Council and Planning
Commission's use would impact Constitution Hall usage by other organizations.
Councilmember Scott indicated she understood the Police Department was crowded, but the
Council Chambers was not large enough to accommodate all of their needs. Also, Council
just spent money updating the lighting for cablecasting. She felt the Financial Task Force
should look at space needs and make recommendations for a long range solution.
Councilmember Scott indicated support of a two -story addition to house the Police
Department and Fire Chief since it would also provide room to meet future needs. She
requested staff provide a rough cost estimate for the use of Constitution Hall on a regular
basis, including the cost for a public address system and lighting adequate for cablecasting.
The City Manager indicated staff could provide recommendations and cost estimates for an
interim solution and then research a more permanent solution, or the Council could appoint
a separate task force to research those options.
Councilmember Pedlar indicated discussions of the Financial Task Force revolve around
program functions and staffing, He felt the Council needed to be careful about asking them
to also address space needs. Councilmember Pedlar reviewed discussions held at two
meetings he attended with police Department representatives regarding their needs as well
as productivity issues. He pointed out the Council needs to keep in mind that the staffing
organizational chart may change in the near future. Councilmember Pedlar indicated he
does not feel use of Constitution Hall by the Council was a permanent solution, but
supported having staff research use of the G Barn as one option.
Councilmember Cohen indicated staff reductions had not been part of the original
discussion. He provided staff with a copy of an editorial from the St. Paul Dispatch
newspaper which predicted large budget shortfalls in the next biennium.
Mayor Paulson agreed the Police Department was crowded and in need of more space. He
indicated he was not sure use of the Tack Room or Constitution Hall was a good long term
solution for the Council Chambers and Suggested staff also investigate the option of the G
Barn reconstruction for use as the Council Chambers. Mayor Paulson stated he would favor
an addition onto City Hall for administrative space and going with a referendum for
expanding the Police Department and/or Senior Center. He also supported researching the
possibility of adding to the Heritage Center, not just for Council space, but as part of the
conference center.
Councilmember Rosene stated he toured the Police Department area and agreed they have
space needs for storage of equipment, uniforms, files, etc., as well as a bathroom, conference
3/30/92 -3-
room and space for investigators, He supported their use of the existing Council Chambers
as an interim solution but felt the long range solution would include construction of
additional space. He supported researching a two or three story addition in the area where
the hcating(cooiing equipment was currently located. If this was done, the Police
Department would have adequate space and Council Chambers could also be housed in the
addition.
Councilmember Pedlar pointed out rental space at the Heritage Center provided revenue
for the City and he felt the Council needed to look at the larg i i
g financ pi cture incladin
P g
all options. He added the motion on the floor was for concevt approval and addresses the
needs of only one department.
Councilmember Cohen concurred and suggested the Council act on the motion on the floor
and then discuss long term possibilities. He agreed with Councilmember Rosene's point that
a permanent Police Department ex was still needed even if h
xP the C� B ar n was
constructed for use as a Council Chambers.
Councilmember Rosene pointed out having the Council Chambers in close proximity to City
Hall allowed staff to work on various projects while waiting for their agenda item to be
discussed. Moving the Council Chambers off -site would result in the loss of some of this
productivity.
Mayor Paulson reviewed a section from the book Strong Democracy which indicated how
important "talk" was in a democracy and the importance of neighborhood assemblies to
assure accountability of elected officials, press, etc. He stated he felt the Council needed
a physical presence in neighborhoods where meetings could be held and issues debated.
Mayor Paulson felt residents would support a referendum for a Police Department
expansion, but he had concerns about attaching the stigma of the Council Chambers to the
referendum. Rather, he felt the City could generate the needed revenue from the Heritage
Center by using the G Barn as the Council Chambers as well as for other conferences, etc.
Councilmember Pedlar indicated he felt the referendum in a neighboring community failed
because an addition to the City Hall was included He explained he does not want to create
a "smoke screen" before the residents about the City's needs. Councilmember Pedlar
pointed out some residents may feel installing $3,000 of lighting into the Council Chambers
may not have been prudent if the Council was consider relocating, but he felt most of the
cost was for the lights themselves which could be reused.
Councilmember Pedlar indicated he was willing to work with any member of the Council to
determine what would be in the best interest of the community, but felt the stigma of the
State of the City address was causing conflict that needed to be resolved. He expressed
concern with the Post Newspaper article regarding the Mayor's address and indicated he was
willing to work side by side with anyone on the Council as long as they respect the fact that
he may disagree with them on an issue.
3/30/92 -4-
Councilmember Cohen requested the Mayor call the question.
Mayor Paulson stated he had asked to discuss these issues for one and one -half years. He
indicated he does not feel the Council was serving citizens by allowing staff to put the
Council Chambers in the basement of the Heritage Center, and the G Barn could be used
for other purposes such as providing a forum for artistic events. He felt the Council needed
to look at other options.
Councilmember Cohen again requested the Mayor call the question.
The motion passed unanimously.
Discussion then r
to ned to possible long range solutions with Councilmember Cohen
indicating the use of the G Barn for the Council Chambers was not really getting the "City
out to the citizens ". He pointed out in the past the Council had conducted meetings at the
schools and churches as a way of bringing the government out to the ea le.
F F
Councilmcmber Cohen stated he supported doing this as a way of getting citizens involved.
He also supported having staff research gll options, including building the G Barn and
adding onto City Hall.
Councilmember Rosene suggested the Councilmember's voice mail box phone numbers be
publicized and citizens encouraged to call with comments or concerns. He felt this would
provide better communication.
rnnnr;lm,-mhPr Srntt rt-vij-wi -d hPr nnct uwnrlr with varin»s :idvicnry hnard -, rnmmissinns and
serving on the Council. She explained in the past the City had neighborhood advisory
commissions which provided an excellent method for residents to voice their concerns in an
unimposing setting. The Council also had a breakfast several times each year which was
publicized and residents encouraged to attend and voice concerns or ask questions. She
agreed with Councilmember Cohen the Council needed to go into the neighborhoods to
meet people and establish better communication. Councilmember Scott suggested the
Council consider reviving these neighborhood groups.
Mayor Paulson felt this was an excellent suggestion and supported reinstating this program.
He agreed a one-on -one basis was the best way to obtain feedback and response from
citizens. Mayor Paulson indicated he had received many calls this last week and found it
was very uplifting to receive that kind of support.
Councilmember Rosene concurred with Councilmember Scott's suggestion. He then
questioned Mayor Paulson's earlier reference to using the G Barn for artiNtic events and
asked if Constitution Hall or the future addition to City Hall could not be used for this
purpose, Mayor Paulson stated he was unsure of the equipment at Constitution Hall but
felt there was a need for adequate facilities for artistic events and performances that could
be scheduled to provide identity for Brooklyn Center. He pointed out the existing Council
Chamber's equipment was not conducive to live musical performances.

revenue to the City if the G Barn was converted for public purposes instead of being rented
to private enterprise. This information would allow the Council to determine what would
be more cost effective, Councilmember Cohen suggested staff also contact other
communities about a "City Hall on Wheels" program where a recreational vehicle goes into
neighborhoods to provide services like licensing, voter registration, etc. He felt this type of
program had potential since the City's population was growing older and living longer.
Mayor Paulson asked how the G Barn could result in Iost revenue for the City,
Councilmember Cohen responded the G Barn could be rented as office space, Mayor
Paulson stated he had a level of discomfort about using public money to construct a building
that ends up being used for private purposes.
Councilmember Rosene expressed support of further research for a "City Hall on Wheels"
program, He pointed out there was also a need to assure the City Hall was included in
transit routes.
There was a motion by Councilmember Cohen and seconded by Councilmember Rosene to
direct staff to prepare a resolution that would outline various options for long term solutions
including a cost estimate for an addition to City Hall; cost estimate for building a facility at
the Heritage Center; information on cost effectiveness of having the Council Chambers
relocated off the City campus; potential for increased revenue or loss of revenue that could
be incurred if the Council Chambers was located as part of the Heritage Center; operating
cost impact for various alternatives; procedure used for citizen input and involvement with
the original Capital Improvement project; and, possible options for a "City Hall on Wheels ".

No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached
SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached X }
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is civil rights legislation designed to improve access
to jobs and work places for people with disabilities. The ADA accomplishes this goal by setting
standards for employment policies and practices as well as for premises of public accommodations
and commercial buildings. The act is a very lengthy, detailed, and complex document.
In order to determine whether or not the City of Brooklyn Center is in compliance with the ADA
and to identify any deficiencies we might have pertaining to accessibility for persons with
disabilities, staff is recommending that we work with Julee Quarve- Peterson of JQP, Inc. Ms.
Quarve- Peterson previously assisted the City in review of facilities and programs for persons with
disabilities as is required by 504 of the Civil Rights Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
JQP, Inc. will conduct on -site surveys of City properties, including the civic center, fire stations,
municipal garage, Centerbrook golf course, parks, shelter buildings, liquor stores, and Earle Brown
Heritage Center. A report overview of those issues needing attention by the City will be presented.
JQP, Inc. will also serve as an informational resource in determining the accessibility of City
programs and services.
Ms. Quarve- Peterson has extensive experience in compliance issues in the State of Minnesota and
brings an understanding and expertise on the ADA that has been impossible to match. We have
not found other resources that are able to provide the combination of determining compliance with
both the physical barriers component of the ADA and program compliance issues. Therefore, we
recommend approval of the attached resolution so we may proceed with determining the status of
our compliance.
• Total fees for JQP, Inc. services are not expected to exceed $7,250. A $500 retainer fee is required.
Other attachments include the proposal from JQP, Inc., a resume on Ms. Quarve- Peterson, and
information items regarding the ADA.
Note that services provided by JQP, Inc. will not include employment issues (e.g., employment
application and job description updates). If necessary, this area will be brought before the city
council at a future time. In the meantime, we will attempt to comply in the employment area by
doing any work in- house.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION Discuss and approve A Resolution Amending the

CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Council Meeting Date April 13, 1992

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
DEPT. APPROVAL:
Gerald G. Splinter, Vity Manager
MANAGER'S RE W/RECOMMENDATION:
No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached
SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached )
• The legislative session is approaching its scheduled end with many major items still left to be
resolved. Addressing the budget problem and the bills which would accomplish this are still up in
the air and I will have an oral update for the Council Monday evening.
I have enclosed the League Bulletin updating cities on pending legislation affecting municipalities
in Minnesota. I have also attached for your consideration a resolution which opposes a proposed
redistricting of Metro Council member districts. I have attached materials regarding the proposed
alternative districting plans for your review. Under the plan most favored by the Metro Council
at this time Brooklyn Center would be separated from its traditional community of interest, which
is the northwest suburbs. This proposed plan (plan #2) divides the northwest suburbs with
communities such as Brooklyn Park, New Hope, Champlin, and Maple Grove separated from
Brooklyn Center, Crystal and Robbinsdale. The attached resolution opposes the plan ( #2) which
would split the northwest suburbs.

MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECOMMENDATION.
No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached
• SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached
At the January 27, 1992 Council meeting, the City Council approved a contract
with Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates, Inc. (BRAA) for Engineering
Services relating to the development of a water management plan for the City of
Brooklyn Center. At that time staff also proposed that a Water Management Task
Force be appointed, consisting of representatives from BRAA, City staff members
and several citizen members.
BRAA has now mobilized their staff for this study and has met with City staff
members several times, primarily for the purpose of orienting BRAA staff with the
City, and for information transfer.
It is now appropriate to appoint citizen members of the task force. The primary
functions of this task force are to meet with staff and the consultant to review
information, to assist them in developing information, to provide review and
comment to the analysis and recommendations of the consultant, and to assist in a
prioritization process.
In selecting citizen members, we believe it is important to try to assure a
balance of representation from the various portions of the City which have the
most significant water management issues — both storm water run -off and water
quality; to have a balance of persons representing various philosophies regarding
water management and environmental issues; and especially, to have conscientious
members who are committed to the betterment of the community. Based on these
criteria, we suggest appointment of the following persons (listed in alphabetical
•
order) to the Water Management Task Force. I have contacted each of them, and
all have expressed a strong interest in serving on the task force if they are
appointed by the City Council:
John Kalligher - 5548 Girard Avenue
Mr. Kalligher is an attorney, is a member of the Brooklyn Center
school board, and is a member of the Earle Brown Neighborhood Housing
Advisory Committee.
Kristin Mann - 5415 East Twin Lake Boulevard
Is member of the City Planning Commission and is president of the
Twin Lake Association.
Dan McGroarty - 6312 Orchard Avenue North
Is a quality assurance inspector for A.D.C. Telecommunications. He
lives in an area of the City in which a number of homes, including
his, have experienced periodic flooding problems. During the past
several years we have found him to be knowledgeable regarding
flooding problems in his neighborhood and cooperative in our attempt
to find solutions.
Jon Perkins - 3719 72nd Avenue North
Is a realtor and is a member of the Brooklyn Center Housing
Commission.
Timothy Teas - 7000 Regent Avenue North
Is a science teacher and coaches football and basketball at the Osseo
High School. He and his family have lived at this address for ll+
years. He expresses a strong interest in serving the community.
If the Council approves the appointment of the citizen members to the task force
at the 4/13/92 meeting, we will plan to have the first meeting of that task
force, and a public informational meeting in late April.
Note For the Council's information, copies of the attached questionnaire were
sent to all property owners in the City. To date approximately 2,000 replies
have been received. While the majority of those responses indicate a basic
satisfaction with the City's water management system, approximately 600 submitted
detailed, very meaningful, comments and information. Because of the volume of
those replies, we have not yet completed a summary of these comments. While most
of them reported problems which staff has been aware of, there were a number of
"surprises ". Also, the responses indicate a substantial level of support for
correcting problems in the storm drainage system, groundwater seepage into
basements, flooding problems, surface water quality improvements, wetland
protection, erosion control, and other environmental enhancements. We believe
that detailed evaluation of these responses will provide the City with an
• excellent basis for responding to citizen needs.
• RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Review and discuss ......
Approve appointment of citizen members, of the Water Management Task Force, by
motion.

Dear Brooklyn Center Resident /Property Owner,
In 1990, the Minnesota Legislature adopted amendments to the "Metropolitan Water
Management Act" which require each city to develop a "Local Water Management Plan" in
compliance with the Watershed Management plans which have been developed by the Shingle
Creek and West Mississippi Watershed Management Commissions. Issues which this plan
must deal with include runoff management, floodplain management, shoreland management,
water quality management, erosion and sedimentation control, storm water treatment,
wetlands management and ground water protection.
In January, 1992, the Brooklyn Center City Council authorized development of a local water
management plan to achieve compliance with the legislative requirements.
To help City staff to identify existing problems and to understand your priorities, we ask that
you respond to the enclosed questions. Your answers and your comments will be greatly
appreciated. If you have questions, please contact the Engineering Department at 569 -3340.
Please complete your response, refold and seal this self - mailer so that the return address is

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached
Last ear the City Council a pproved a special use permit for the
Y Y pp p p
Earle Brown Bowl to have an outdoor dining area and an outdoor
volleyball court between May 1 and Labor Day. Condition No. 8 of
that approval required the submission of a report regarding
complaints on parking, drainage, noise or sanitation problems
associated with the activity. If the outside activities
constituted a nuisance, the special use permit could be terminated
or modified for the upcoming year. The Earle Brown Bowl is
requesting to be allowed to conduct the outdoor dining and outdoor
volleyball operations during the same time frame and under the same
conditions during the upcoming season as was granted in 1991. The
request and a report on the activities was reviewed by the Planning
Commission at its March 26, 1992 meeting. A copy of the minutes of
that meeting, a memo from the planning staff, a letter from the
applicant, a copy of the original conditions approved by the City
Council at its June 10, 1991 meeting and a sales analysis which was
submitted in 1991 are attached for the City Council's review.
Recommendation
As the report indicates, there were no parking, drainage, noise or
sanitation problems associated with last year's use and the
activities did not constitute a nuisance. Therefore, the Earle
Brown Bowl should be allowed to continue their operation this year
and in subsequent years provided they abide by the conditions set
forth in the approval and the activities do not constitute a
nuisance.
The Planning Commission recommended approval for the continuance of
the special use permit at its March 26, 1992 meeting subject to
,compliance with the original 11 conditions.
voiced during the discussion. It was generally agreed among the
Commission that they preferred a limit of 16 on group homes in
multiple - family zones. Commissioner Mann suggested that there
perhaps be a public hearing and invite the public and Human
Services representatives to such a meeting. The Secretary stated
that that could be done, but Chairperson Bernards stated that he
did not think it would do any good and Commissioner Sherritt agreed
with Chairperson Bernards. Commissioner Mann inquired as to the
off - street parking requirements. The Secretary answered that a
proof of parking was an option as long as the property had enough
land to meet the parking requirements. The Secretary stated that
numbers and concentrations seemed to be two items that need
revision. He stated that he felt the City should get away from
special use permits for such facilities. Commissioner Mann stated
that a special use permit might keep some of these facilities out.
Chairperson Bernards stated that a case could be made for
intimidation if that is the objective of such a provision. The
Secretary stated that the City could go either way, but that he
would recommend doing away with special use permits since they only
seem to add to the animosity between the parties.
/ OTHER BUSINESS
Report on Earle Brown Bowl Outdoor Activities
The Secretary briefly reviewed a memo regarding the Earle Brown
Bowl activities. He stated that a special use permit had been
granted in 1991 to allow outdoor dining and outdoor volleyball
0 during the off season. He stated that no complaints had been
received although the outdoor dining did not take place last year.
Commissioner Sander asked how a special use permit would be revoked
and whether one had ever been revoked. The Secretary responded
that special use permits have been revoked if they were in
violation of the conditions of approval. The Secretary stated that
the City staff would not bring back the special use permit for
Earle Brown Bowl in the future unless there were problems with the
conditions of approval.
ACTION RECOMMENDING CONTINUANCE OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR EARLE
BROWN BOWL SUBJECT TO THE ORIGINAL CONDITIONS
Motion by Commissioner Mann seconded by Commissioner Kalligher to
recommend that the special use permit for outdoor activities at the
Earle Brown Bowl be continued subject to the original conditions of
approval. Voting in favor: Chairperson Bernards, Commissioner
Mann, Sander, Holmes, Kalligher and Sherritt. Voting against:
none. The motion passed.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion by Commissioner Mann seconded by Commissioner Holmes to
adjourn the meeting of the Planning Commission. The motion passed
unanimously. The Planning Commission adjourned at 8:51 p.m.

MEMORANDUM
To: Brooklyn Center Planning Commission
From: Planning Staff
Re: Earle Brown Bowl Outdoor Activities
Date: March 26, 1992
Last year, the Planning Commission and the City Council approved
a special use permit for Earle Brown Bowl to conduct an outdoor
volleyball league in their parking lot and to construct an
outside deck for up to 50 dining seats with both activities
operating during the months from May 1st through Labor Day. A
condition of the special use permit approval was that complaints
regarding these activities be monitored and a report on such
complaints and on any parking, drainage, noise, or sanitation
problems be submitted by April 1, 1992 to the Planning Commission
and City Council.
The purpose of this memo is to inform the Commission that no
complaints regarding parking, drainage, noise, or sanitation
associated with the outdoor volleyball league were received last
year. We have checked with the Sanitarian, the City Engineer,
and the Police Department and they report no problems. The
outdoor dining area was never constructed. The only staff
complaint regarding the volleyball activity was the temporary use
of plastic banners reading "Budweiser" which constituted illegal
signery. These were removed upon request.
The applicant, in the person of Mark Bruer, has submitted a brief
written request that the same activities approved in 1991 be
allowed during the same period of 1992. The only difference this
year is that the volleyball league will be run by the bowling
alley rather than by Volleyworld as was the case last year. A
copy of Mr. Bruer's request with sales data is attached for the
Commission's review. We believe that this request is consistent
with the special use permit approval of application #91009 and
that there is no need to modify that approval in light of the
operation's record of no complaints last year. We would ask that
the Commission concur in our recommendation that the special use
permit for outdoor eating and volleyball be continued, subject to
the conditions of the original approval.

Re: Earle Brown Bowl's request for outdoor
� sand volleyball and the construction of
�
an outdoor temporary seasonal deck.
Dear Mr. Warren:
� Pursuant to our telephone conversation of last week, I am
formally requesting approval from the Brooklyn Center City
Council to allow Earle Brown Bowl to operate outdoor sand
� volleyball leagues and to construct their outdoor patio
� deck, again this summer.
VOLLEYBALL LEAGUES
The only change planned in the operation of the volleyball
leagues for this summer is as follows:
� In 1991 the volleyball leagues were organized
and run by VolleyWorld. In 1992 Earle Brown Bowl
intends to organize and operate the volleyball
leagues for themselves.
� All other areas of operation, including construction of
the volleyball courts, lighting, location of the courts,
will be exactly as outlined in Earle Brown Bowl's original
� application, Planning Commission Application No. 91009.
OUTDOOR PATIO DECK
� The outdoor patio is planned exactly as outlined in Earle
Brown Bowl's original application (same as above).
� I understanding that before construction can begin a
� building permit must be acquired and the health department
needs to be contacted.

Attached is a summary of Earle Brawn Bowl's monthly sales
for their fiscal _years ending June 30, 1990 - 1992.
Again, Earle Brown Bowl experienced a significant drop in
sales during the summer. A review of the monthly sales
for the fiscal year 190 - ' 91 shows the following:
Comparing the two slowest summer months, July 1 90 and
Jane 1 31, to the highest winter month, March 1 91, the
following swing can be determined:
TOTAL SALES

As the above figures represent, Earle Brown Bowl

summer months. With such a significant drop in business
during the simmer months, parking should not be a problem.

MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN
AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
STUDY SESSION
MARCH 26, 1992
CITY HALL
CALL TO ORDER
The Planning Commission met in study session and was called to
order by Interim Chairperson Wallace Bernards at 7:30 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Chairperson Wallace Bernards, Commissioners Kristen Mann, Ella
Sander, Mark Holmes, Barbara Kalligher and Jill Sherritt. Also
present were Director of Planning and Inspection Ronald Warren and
Planner Gary Shallcross. Chairperson Bernards noted that
Commissioner Johnson was still on vacation and was excused.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - MARCH 12 1992
Motion by Commissioner Mann seconded by Commissioner Sherritt to
approve the minutes of the March 12, 1992 Planning Commission
meeting as submitted. Voting in favor: Chairperson Bernards,
Commissioners Mann, Sander, Holmes and Sherritt. Voting against:
none. Not voting: Commissioner Kalligher. The motion passed.
DISCUSSION ITEM - GROUP HOME ORDINANCE
Following the Chairperson's explanation, the Secretary introduced
a discussion item regarding a Draft Group Home Ordinance. He
briefly introduced the ordinance and an accompanying memo from the
Planner. He also referred to the study by Resolution, Inc. which
provided much of the basis for the ordinance. He explained that a
state licensed residential facility with six or fewer clients is a
permitted single - family use of property under State law. He added
that State Statute defines a residential facility with 7 to 16
clients as a permitted multiple- family use of property. He stated
that Cities can classify such homes as a special use, but only for
the purpose of assuring proper maintenance of the facility and that
the conditions imposed can be no more restrictive than those
imposed on other residential uses of property.
He stated that public hearings for a special use permit bring out
neighborhood fears regarding property values and safety. He added
that questions raised at such hearings are generally about the
operation of the program over which the City has no control more
than the land use issues which it can control. He stated that the
Resolution, Inc. study recommended that group homes of a certain
size be allowed as a permitted use. He noted that he would
recommend that the draft ordinance be revised to limit the number
of clients to 16 in multiple- family zones as a permitted use. He
stated that the effect of such a limitation might be that there
3 -26 -92 1
would be lobbying to raise the number to more than 16 at the State
Legislature.
He pointed out that the draft ordinance %riould create public
institutional residential (PIR) zones for institutional uses. He
stated that although no land in the City would necessarily have to
be set aside for such uses to begin with, it would be available
should an applicant seek a group living unit with more than 16
clients.
Commissioner Mann asked whether an abutment restriction could be
added in the R4 through R7 districts so that group homes could not
abut R1 property. The Secretary stated that he was not sure if
there were many R4 through R7 properties that don't abut R1 except
on the west side of Humboldt between 65th and 69th Avenue North.
He pointed out that the multiple - family zones are transitional
zones between R1 and more intense commercial zones. In response to
another question from Commissioner Mann, the Secretary stated that
R1 abutment relates to property value concerns and that the City
had commissioned a study which showed that there was not
significant impact on property values as a result of group homes
locating in residential neighborhoods.
Commissioner Bernards asked whether the City was reinventing the
wheel or whether there are other models of this type of ordinance
to look at. The Secretary stated that the City was not totally
unique in developing an ordinance relating to group care
facilities. He stated that the statutes which govern this issue
are the same for other cities as well as for Brooklyn Center. He
stated that the State law mandates that group homes be allowed in
residential areas and defines residential facilities as no
different than a typical multiple family use. Commissioner Holmes
asked how the draft ordinance would affect the Bill Kelly House.
The Secretary answered that the ordinance would allow up to 16
clients as a permitted use.
A Mr. Wiley, a resident near Upper Twin Lake, showed the Secretary
an ad for the home at 5701 June Avenue North which advertised the
possibility of a group home. There followed a brief discussion of
group homes in single - family homes. The Secretary explained that
no more than six clients could be allowed in a single- family home.
Mr. Wiley asked whether a license would be required. The Secretary
stated that Hennepin County licenses group homes under State
authority. He stated that the City requires a rental license
unless the facility is owner occupied. He explained that the State
regulates the program, not the City.
Commissioner Mann stated that the ordinance is looking at land use
concerns; and she asked whether the ordinance could also look at
something like a success rate for a particular type of program.
The Secretary answered that the licensing authority governs that
3 -26 -92 2 I
issue and that the City has no control over staffing, programs,
specifics, or success rate, etc. In response to another question
from Commissioner Mann regarding halfway houses, the Secretary
stated that they would only be allowed in the PIP, zones. He
explained the definition of a residential facility includes
facilities licensed by the Department of Human Services, not the
Department of Corrections.
Chairperson Bernards asked about the issue of saturation, when is
enough, enough. The Secretary answered that there are spacing
standards in State law that require group homes to be 1320 ft.
apart. Chairperson Bernards asked whether it would be possible to
have a cluster of group omes. The Secretary answered that the
p y
central cities have this problem. He stated that State law has
been instituted to try to deconcentrate group homes. He stated
that a provision on separation could be added to the ordinance if
desired. He stated that the concern of the City should be that it
not have to accommodate more than its fair share of such
facilities.
Commissioner Sherritt asked how many group homes the City has. The
Secretary stated that there is Northwest Residence and Welcome
Community Home and a number of smaller facilities. Commissioner
Sherritt asked whether the County had not come out with guidelines
about the concentration of group homes and stated that perhaps the
City should take the initiative in finding locations for group home
facilities. The Secretary agreed, but stated that when the City
begins to steer such facilities to a certain location, it would get
public reaction from people in that neighborhood. Commissioner
Sherritt asked what kind of facilities the City would have to have.
The Secretary answered that at first they only counted larger
facilities and expected each community to have up to 1/20 of their
population in such facilities. He stated that they now count
smaller facilities, but require that to of the population be the
ceiling for such populations.
Chairperson Bernards asked what was the property tax status of
group homes. The Secretary stated that they might be exempt
although he was not certain. Commissioner Sherritt stated that it
depended on if they were nonprofit agencies or not. She stated
that the Bill Kelly House had to pay taxes, but were reimbursed for
them.
The Secretary asked the Commission how the matter should be moved
along. He stated that it would be good to have an ordinance on the
books before the next rou o .
g home comes before the City.
Y
Commissioner Mann asked where a nursing home would fit under the
ordinance. The Secretary answered that it would have to be located
in an institutional or a commercial zone. Chairperson Bernards
identified abutment and concentration as two issues that had been
3 -26 -92 3
y
voiced during the discussion. It was generally agreed among the
Commission that they preferred a limit of 16 on group homes in
multiple - family zones. Commissioner Mann suggested that there
perhaps be a public hearing and invite the public and Human
Services representatives to such a meeting. The Secretary stated
that that could be done, but Chairperson Bernards stated that he
did not think it would do any good and Commissioner Sherritt agreed
with Chairperson Bernards. Commissioner Mann inquired as to the
off - street parking requirements. The Secretary answered that a
proof of parking was an option as long as the property had enough
land to meet the parking requirements. The Secretary stated that
numbers and concentrations seemed to be two items that need
revision. He stated that he felt the City should get away from
special use permits for such facilities. Commissioner Mann stated
that a special use permit might keep some of these facilities out.
Chairperson Bernards stated that a case could be made for
intimidation if that is the objective of such a provision. The
Secretary stated that the City could go either way, but that he
would recommend doing away with special use permits since they only
seem to add to the animosity between the parties.
OTHER BUSINESS
Report on Earle Brown Bowl Outdoor Activities
The Secretary briefly reviewed a memo regarding the Earle Brown
Bowl activities. He stated that a special use permit had been
granted in 1991 to allow outdoor dining and outdoor volleyball
during the off season. He stated that no complaints had been
received although the outdoor dining did not take place last year.
Commissioner Sander asked how a special use permit would be revoked
and whether one had ever been revoked. The Secretary responded
that special use permits have been revoked if they were in
violation of the conditions of approval. The Secretary stated that
the City staff would not bring back the special use permit for
Earle Brown Bowl in the future unless there were problems with the
conditions of approval.
ACTION RECOMMENDING CONTINUANCE OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR EARLE
BROWN BOWL SUBJECT TO THE ORIGINAL CONDITIONS
Motion by Commissioner Mann seconded by Commissioner Kalligher to
recommend that the special use permit for outdoor activities at the
Earle Brown Bowl be continued subject to the original conditions of
approval. Voting in favor: Chairperson Bernards, Commissioner
Mann, Sander, Holmes, Kalligher and Sherritt. Voting against:
none. The motion passed.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached )
At its March 23, 1992, meeting, the city council approved a resolution amending the 1992 general
fund budget for expenses related to recruitment of a police chief. The council also approved the
recruitment process presented on March 23. A final step to move this process forward is to
approve the selection of a consultant who will assist the City in the recruitment and selection
process.
The City received quotations from the Brimeyer Group, Inc. (BGI) and Labor Relations Associates
(LRA). Excluding reference checks, the BGI proposal is $5,600 and the LRA proposal is $6,000.
BGI provides more up -front assistance than LRA in working with the city council, city manager,
department heads, and other pertinent staff people in developing a position description and an
attribute list that fits the specific needs of Brooklyn Center.
BGI will provide much more thorough and detailed reference checks and background investigations
than LRA, but at a higher cost. Depending on where the candidates live, the cost of the checks
by BGI will range from $2,000 to $6,400.
Because the types of services provided by BGI will better satisfy the needs expressed by the city
council and staff, we are recommending the approval of working with BGI.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION Approve a Resolution Approving the Engagement
of Consultant Services for the Recruitment of a Police Chief.

is SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached
Contract 1990 -G, Improvement Project No. 1990 -16, Construction of Wellhouse No.
10 has been completed by Richmar Construction, Inc. The City Council accepted
their low bid per Resolution No. 90 -234 and a contract was subsequently executed.
In addition, two change orders were approved for items of work not originally
included in the contract. The value of work performed for Improvement Project
No. 1990 -16, $405,725, equals the original contract value plus approved change
orders.
The total project costs are detailed in the attached resolution. It is noted
that the estimated costs for the entire well project (1990 -02, Well Drilling and
1990 -16, Wellhouse Construction) were established simultaneously via Resolution
No. 90 -12, adopted by the Council on January 8, 1990. Although the work for
Improvement Project 1990 -02 (Well Drilling) and contract costs thereof have
already been approved by the Council (Resolution 91 -60, 02/25/91), the attached
resolution summarizes all project costs associated with both contracts. The
total cost for the entire Well No. 10 project, which includes both well drilling
and wellhouse construction, is $696,813.91. This compares favorably to the
previously established estimated total of $950,000.00.
Regarding costs for engineering services, the contract between Black and Veatch
and the City identified four phases of work to be performed in conjunction with
both projects 90 -02 and 90 -16. The total amount for their professional services
for both projects (Well Drilling & Wellhouse Construction), including approved
• contract amendments, was previously established as $142,700. However, the actual
billing for these services totals $125,184.39, or $17,515.61 less than the
• approved amount. During the duration of the well projects, City personnel were
able to provide assistance to the consultant in the form of in -house shop drawing
review and construction observation, and therefore, achieve cost savings.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
A resolution accepting work performed and authorizing final payment to Richmar
Construction, Inc. is provided for consideration.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes
On 4/13/92 nine bids were received and opened for reconstruction of 69th Avenue
North between Brooklyn Boulevard and West Palmer Lake Drive. All bids, ranging
from $1,499,942.80 to $1,796,441.37 were lower than the Engineer's estimate of
$1,834,388.75. It is noted that it is very unusual, for all bids on a project to
be this closely grouped (within 20%), and that this is an indication that (1) all
bidders clearly understood the plans and specifications; and (2) all bidders were
submitting serious, competitive bids.
Unfortunately, examination of the low bid of S.M. Hentges and Sons shows that
their bid does not comply with the project specifications on one important item,
i.e..
• The specifications include a provision which provides for payment of
"Mobilization" costs for "... preparatory work and operations, including,
but not limited to, those necessary for the movement of personnel,
equipment, supplies and incidentals to the Project site; for the
establishment of all Contractor offices and buildings or other facilities
necessary for work on the Project."
• The Special Provisions section of the specifications for this project which
relate to payment for Mobilization costs provide that "... the lump sum bid
amount shall not exceed 5% of the total Base Bid amount.
•
• S.M. Hentges and Sons' bid for Mobilization is in the amount of
$120,000.00. This represents 8% of their total Base Bid amount.
We have reviewed this matter with City Attorney LeFevere. He recommends (see
memo attached) that the City reject the bid of S.M. Hentges and Sons on the basis
that it does not comply to the specifications. The City Manager and I concur in
this recommendation.
If the bid by Hentges is rejected, the next lowest bid is that of Brown and Cris
in the amount of $1,514,315.15 ($14,372.35 higher than the Hentges bid). We have
checked various references and determined that they are a responsible contractor.
We recommend award of .this contract to Brown and Cris on the basis of their bid.
Notes
1. Because this is a Municipal State Aid project, we have contacted the MNDOT
State Aid Engineer to review the above matter. He advises that MNDOT's
policy is to have the City rely on the advice of its attorney.
2. After meeting ith City Attorney LeFevere on April 7 I called for Mr.
g Y Y P
Steve Hentges of the Hentges firm to advise them of this matter.
g g When a
Mr. Jim Kephart returned my call for Mr. Hentges, I reviewed the matter
with him and advised him of City staff's recommendation. When I told him
about the problem (i.e. — their bid for mobilization exceeded the 5%
maximum allowed by the specifications) he commented that "... it's all that
dewatering ... which we added at the last minute." This comment is noted
because the costs for dewatering should not be included in the mobilization
costs.
3. I also informed Mr. Kephart that the City Council will be considering this
matter at the 4/13/92 Council meeting.
4. Mr. Steve Hentges, President of S.M. Hentges and Sons, met with me on
4/8/92. At that time we discussed the matter in somewhat more detail, and
I gave him a preliminary copy of this memo, of Charlie LeFevere's letter,
and of the proposed resolution. Mr. Hentges indicated that he plans to
attend the 4/13/93 Council meeting.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
A resolution is provided for consideration by Y the Ci Council.
Note Final approval of plans and specifications from the MNDOT State Aid
Division has not yet been received. We anticipate receiving that approval
shortly. Accordingly, the proposed resolution provides for award of the contract
subject to receipt of final approval from MNDOT.

Re: Award of Contract for 69th Avenue Project
Dear Sy:
You have asked for my comment on a question relating to bids received for a portion
of the 69th Avenue Project. The facts as I understand them are as follows. One of
the line items on the bid form for the project was for "mobilization." The
specifications clearly provided that the amount bid for mobilization could not exceed
five percent of the base bid. The lowest bid received was $1,499,942.80, five
percent of which is $74,997.14. The amount bid by the low bidder for mobilization,
however, was $120,000, or eight percent of the base bid. The second low bidder was
approximately $1,514,315, which is $14,373 higher than the low bid.
The low bid clearly did not comply with the specifications. In responding to the low
bid, the City Council has three options. The first is to waive the failure to comply
with the five percent limitation as an irregularity and accept the bid. The second
is to adjust the bid downward by reducing the amount bid for mobilization so that the
bid conforms to the specifications and awarding the contract to the low bidder on the
basis of the amended bid. The third is to reject the low bid and to award the
contract to the lowest responsible remaining bidder. Of the three, it is my option
that the third option is the most easily defended from legal challenge.
I would not advise awarding the contract as bid because it seems to me that three
percent of the contract price is a substantial departure from the specifications. It
is entirely possible that if other bidders had known they were free to disregard the
specifications and bid a higher amount for mobilization (thereby reducing their cash
needs for the project) other bidders could have given even lower bids. It may even
be that potential bidders declined to submit bids because of the five percent
requirement. Allowing a departure from the five percent limitation where other
bidders presumably felt constrained to bid in compliance with the specifications
seems to me to offer a material advantage in the bidding process to the low bidder.
I believe that an award by the Council to the low bidder despite this departure from
the specifications could be challenged successfully by another bidder.

Mr. Sy Knapp

Page 2
The second alternative, reducing the line item for mobilization by approximately
$45,000 so that it would be within the limitations set by the specifications is simply
not authorized. To do so would reduce the amount of the bid by three percent.
Such a bid was not submitted by the bidder and the City cannot unilaterally change
the bidders offer, and then accept it. Nor do I believe it would be defensible to alter
the bid even if the bidder consented to the alteration. Since the City could not
legally hold the bidder to a reduced bid without the bidders consent, allowing the
bidder to consent to a reduction gives the bidder a material advantage and creates
the potential for collusion. A bidder should not be free to accept or reject an
amended bid after all of the other bids have been opened and made public.
In my opinion, then, the third choice, rejecting the low bid as being nonresponsive
to the specifications and awarding the contract to the next lowest responsible bidder
is the most legally defensible course of action.
If you have any further questions, please give me a call.
Very truly yours,
Charles L. LeFevere

Dear Mr. Knapp:
The City received bids for the above-referenced project on
Tuesday, March 31, 1992,
The bids ranged from $1,499,942.80 to $1,796,441.37. The
apparent low bidder was s. M. Hentges & Sons, Inc. We checked
references for this bidder and found them qualified to construct
the project. However, after checking the Hentges bid, we found
an improper bid which did, not conform to the requirements of the
contract specifications.
The specifications only provide for a maximum of 5- for Item
Number 2021,501 MOBILIZATION. The S. M. Hentges & Sons, Inc. bid
was over the 5-* maximum on this particular item. This is a lump
sum item.
Therefore, we recommend rejection of the low bidder and award to
the second low bid, Brown and Cris in the amount of
$
We have checked the references furnished by Brown and Cris and
find that they are qualified to construct the project.
Also, we have received all permits for the project, but we have
not received final Municipal State -Aid (MSA) approval as yet.
This final approval is still approximately one week away.
Therefore, we recommend that the project be awarded contingent
upon MSA approval. Approvals with minor changes have been made

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached
In conjunction with the 69th Avenue improvement project we have negotiated a
proposed agreement with NSP to remove the existing overhead power lines from 69th
Avenue North and place new lines underground. As proposed, all existing poles
and lines would be removed from within the expanded right -of -way, except those
along the north side between France Avenue and West Palmer Lake Drive. These
poles and lines, which are located on the back lot lines of the properties which
the City purchased, need to be retained to provide service to the houses on Urban
Avenue. Removal of this line would require all property owners along Urban
Avenue to "underground" their service lines. Staff does not believe this is
necessary, since this line will be "screened" by the remaining trees in the 65'
to 100' area behind the trail.
Existing street lights will be replaced with new street lights mounted on brown
fiberglass poles (similar to those used on West River Road), with underground
service lines, and with brown light fixtures.
NSP has proposed to do all this work with a reimbursement price of $253,859. It
is our opinion that this is a reasonable price, and we recommend acceptance of
that proposal. The 69th Avenue project cost estimate, as approved on June 24,
1991 estimated this cost of $350,000.
In addition to this agreement with NSP, City staff is also obtaining proposals
from electrical contractors to complete the required "conversion" of electrical
services to the 6 houses on the south side of 69th Avenue whose service lines
will be placed underground by NSP. The City Council approved the concept of
• doing this work at City cost on January 27, 1992. We anticipate submitting these
proposals to the Council for formal consideration at the 4/27/92 meeting.
Other utilities which exist along 69th Avenue North, and our agreements with
them, are summarized as follows:
Utility Existing Conditions Proposed Agreement
U.S. West Existing lines are buried Adjustments will be made
by U.S. West without
charge to the City
Northwest Community Existing lines are overhead, Overhead CATV lines will
Television (CATV) on NSP -owned poles be removed, and new under-

• SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached
On February 10, 1992, the City Council approved plans and specifications and
authorized advertisement for bids for Trunk Sewer Replacement Under I- 94/694,
Improvement Project No. 1992 -03. Bids for this work were received and opened on
April 2, 1992. The bids submitted were as follows:
Bidder Bid Amount
Barbarossa and Sons, Inc. $ 198,831.00
EJM Pipe Services $ 207,685.00
Brown & Cris $ 208,700.00
Lametti & Sons $ 257,856.00
Of the 4 bids received, the low bid of $ 198,831.00 was submitted by Barbarossa
and Sons, Inc., of Osseo, MN. While Barbarossa hasn't recently performed work in
Brooklyn Center, they have an outstanding reputation for municipal work
throughout the Metro -area. In addition, it appears from their references and
materials submitted with their bid that they are financially stable, and possess
the manpower and equipment necessary to complete the project as specified.
The Engineer's Estimate of construction cost was previously reported as $166,180.
That estimate was based on the limited information which staff was able to obtain
from other cities and from contractors regarding somewhat similar projects.
• However, this project is unique, in that it requires jacking a 42 -inch diameter
pipe for a distance of 302 feet under I94/694. There simply weren't any
• comparable projects to relate to! Also, in the few weeks preceding the bid
opening, the contractors who bid the project independently investigated the
groundwater conditions at the project site, and determined the dewatering
requirements to be much more intensive than had been anticipated by staff.
Analysis of the bids, specifically the items mentioned above, indicates that the
bidders more or less interpreted the conditions of the project uniformly, and in
no way submitted "unbalanced" bids. The disparity between the original estimate
and the low bid seems to be the combination of bidder's access to additional
information (actual groundwater conditions at site) and under - estimating of the
cost of placing the steel carrier conduit. The low bid, while being higher than
the Engineer's Estimate, appears to have been submitted in good faith and is
indicative of a competitive bidding process. Accordingly, staff recommends
accepting the low bid and awarding contract to Barbarossa and Sons, Inc., of
Osseo, Minnesota, in the amount of $198,831.
Note The proposed resolution includes provision for a S% contingency. This
should be adequate to cover any unforeseen contingencies with one possible major
exception, i.e. it is possible that, during construction, the contractor may
encounter a large boulder or rock formation which could require removal by
blasting or other methods; or, in the worst case, could require relocation of the
pipe to a new alignment. While this is very unlikely to occur, we do want to be
certain the Council is aware of this possibility. We know of no process by which
this risk could be avoided. Obviously, if this should occur, we will advise the
Council, and recommend appropriate action at that time.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
A resolution accepting bid and awarding contract to Barbarossa and Sons, Inc. is
provided for consideration.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached
On March 23, 1992 the City Council, by Resolution No. 92 -53, established the
above project and ordered advertisement for bids.
During the prioritization process, street maintenance staff suggested that to
reduce costs the City consider restricting the Diseased Tree Program to boulevard
and park trees only. Accordingly, the contract specifications included an
Alternate A bid and an Alternate B bid. Alternate A is the program as it has
been implemented in past years: removal of boulevard, park, and private trees.
Alternate B is the removal of only boulevard and park trees.
Two bids for this project were received and opened on April 9, 1992. The low bid
for Alternate A was submitted by Outside Services, Inc., in the amount of
$81,960. The low bid for Alternate B was submitted by Ceres Tree Company, in the
amount of $39,890.
The cost to the City for the City's share of the cost of removing boulevard
trees, plus the full cost of removing park trees, is reduced considerably under
Alternate B. Under Alternate A, the cost to the City using Outside Services' bid
prices would be $31,840. Under Alternate B, the City cost using Ceres' bid
prices would be $23,434, or a savings of just over $8,400.
The reason why Alternate B is so much less expensive is that the unit price per
tree is less. This is because it is much less costly to remove a boulevard tree
than a tree in somebody's back yard. The unit prices under Alternate A assume a
certain number of expensive -to- remove back yard trees and thus are higher than
• Alternate B.
• The Council has the opportunity to choose which type of Diseased Tree Program it
wishes to have implemented this year. If the Council desires no change, then the
contract should be awarded based on Alternate A.
Alternate B would change the way private trees are handled. Diseased trees on
private property would continue to be marked, and the property owners would
continue to be notified that they would have to be removed, but a choice would no
longer be offered of using the City's contractor or someone else.
Fewer and fewer property owners are choosing to use the City's contractor. In
1991, more property owners chose to have someone other than the City's contractor
remove their private trees than chose the City's contractor. Fewer than 80
property owners used the City's tree contractor. That figure may be reduced even
further now that registration of tree contractors working in the City provides
property owners with a listing from which to choose that they can feel more
comfortable with than the yellow pages.
Under Alternate B, if property owners did not remove the tree within the
prescribed 20 days, the City's contractor would be asked to submit a quote, and
the owner would be notified that if the tree was not removed within five days,
the City's contractor would remove it for the quoted amount.
Alternate B would also have the advantage of reducing administrative costs. The
Tree Inspector would spend less time providing oversight on the contract.
Award of the Contract
If the Council wishes to make no change to the program, then award should be made
on the basis of Alternate A. Low bid on Alternate A was submitted by Outside
Services, Inc., of Anoka, Minnesota. Outside Services has not previously worked
for the City. However, discussions with their listed references of Crystal,
Fridley, and Columbia Heights indicated that they were a competent firm, capable
of performing the work.
If the Council wishes to amend the program so that the contract would cover only
removal of boulevard and park trees, then award should be made on the basis of
Alternate B. Low bid on Alternate B was submitted by Ceres Tree Company, of
Roseville. Ceres has held the tree contract for the past two years, and has
performed acceptably.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Two resolutions are provided for Council consideration: one awarding the contract
based on Alternate A, and one based on Alternate B.
Staff recommends Alternate B, for two reasons. First, the City can save an
estimated $8,400 in tree removal costs. Second, each year the number of property
owners choosing to have the City's contractor remove trees on private property
decreases. With the availability of a list of registered tree contractors, that
number is likely to drop again. The City could find itself incurring substantial
• extra tree removal and administrative costs to provide a service to perhaps 50
property owners.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached
The City Employee Safety Committee has recommended that 9' -4"
security improvements be made at the Police Department's
reception counter. The existing counter now has a height of 48"
42 inches, with a 9' -4" by 48" clear opening space. Clerical —
employees in the Police Department 42"
p rtment are concerned about
possible entry into their area by someone jumping over the
counter. While there is a security gate which is pulled down Figure 1: Existing Police
at night, the use of this gate during business hours would Reception Counter
make the atmosphere inhospitable.
Consideration was given to installation of a fully- secure window with protected
openings, etc. This too was considered to be inhospitable.
With the assistance of an architect, a "compromise solution" 148 °I
has been developed which provides that the existing opening
size shall be reduced to 48" by 14 ". This will be jq
accomplished by closing in the right half of the opening and
installing bulletin board in that space. On the left half
g P
of the opening, a plexiglas panel will be installed with a
cut-out opening. If, in the future, it is decided that Figure 2: Proposed Remodelling
additional security is needed, the cost of installing a
different plexiglass panel with a smaller opening, or other
• configuration would be relatively minor.
Two proposals have been received for completion of this work in accordance with
the plans. It is recommended that the low bid of W.H. Cates Construction Co. in
the amount of $2,656.00 be accepted. Other estimated project costs include an
estimated $200 for installation of an alarm system between the front desk and the
dispatchers desk, architecture costs, and a contingency.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes
The 1992 General Fund budget for Division 142 - Street Maintenance - includes an
appropriation of $140,000 for the continuation of the City's established street
sealcoating program. As part of the Financial & Service Prioritization Program
which is in progress, Public Works personnel have proposed an extension of the 7
year sealcoat cycle by 1 year, in an effort to reduce expenditures from the
General Fund. While the proposed sealcoat cycle extension represents a reduction
in the size of the annual program by an estimated $18,000, it must be recognized
that long term costs for street maintenance will increase.
Accordingly, the City Engineer has prepared plans and specifications for this
year's program, and as noted above, for the reduced budget amount of $122,000.
This year's program, like those of 1990 and 1991, provides for the use of
smaller, less aggressive aggregate on lower traffic residential streets, while
larger, more durable aggregate is specified for use on the higher- traffic routes.
Also, similar to previous years' programs, the specifications call for bids on
different combinations of material types and sizes, and allows the City to select
the best alternative for the City's needs. Using this approach in the past has
assured the greatest competition between material suppliers and allowed the City
Council to make its choice of alternates.
A map showing the areas included in this year's proposed sealcoating project is
attached for reference. The low - traffic areas using smaller, less aggressive
aggregate are shown as FA -2, while the high- traffic areas using the larger, more
durable aggregate are shown as FA -3.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
A resolution approving plans and specification and directing advertisement for

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes
The 1992 General Fund budget for Street Maintenance Division 142 provides $75,000
certificate of indebtedness funding for the purchase of a new aerial bucket and
truck with chipper box.
The existing aerial bucket was purchased in 1977 and mounted on a used 1965 truck
chassis. In 1979 the bucket unit was transferred to a used 1974 truck. Both the
aerial bucket and the 1974 truck are now in poor condition and would need
considerable work to keep them in safe operating condition.
Instead of buying a new truck and aerial bucket, we now recommend that the City
purchase a new aerial bucket and mount it on a 1983 Ford 800 truck in order to
reduce costs by about $20,000. While that truck chassis was scheduled to be used
to replace an older truck chassis in the City's oil distributor unit, we believe
this is a cost - effective decision. If this is approved, we will need to plan to
use the next dump truck chassis which is scheduled to be replaced with a new
chassis for use under the oil distributor. Under the current 12 -year vehicle
replacement schedule, that replacement is scheduled for 1996, but could hopefully
be adjusted to 1993 or 1994.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes
The City's 1975 Ford tractor with backhoe and front -end loader has developed a
serious safety problem, requiring us to "park" it - (i.e. take it out of
operation). An evaluation of the City's options, as prepared by Dave Peterson,
Public Utilities Supervisor, is attached.
Under the City's 12 -year replacement program, this unit was scheduled for
replacement in 1993. Now, because of the safety problem, staff recommends that
it be replaced immediately because it is not cost - effective to repair the
existing unit.
Mr. Peterson estimates that this unit is currently used about 740 hours per year.
While this suggests the possibility of renting a unit when needed, it is very
important for the City to have immediate access to such a unit for work on water
main breaks. Also, this unit needs to be available for the purpose of loading
sanding trucks during snow plowing /snow removal operations,
Accordingly, staff recommends that a new unit be purchased now, with costs
(estimated at $55,000) to be paid from Public Utility funds — i.e. — 1/3 from the
water utility, 1/3 from the sanitary sewer utility, and 1/3 from the storm
drainage utility.
Specifications for the recommended new unit are attached.

in April -May, 1992 Price $55,000
The backhoe is now used for:
• Utility service and mainline repairs - sewer and water - 200 hrs.
• Water main breaks (average hours) - 120 hrs.
• Storm sewer and catch basin repair - 160 hrs.
• Truck loading during snowplowing - 80 hrs.
• Cleanup and landscape work - 80 hrs.
• Field verifying pipe elevations - 40 hrs.
• Fire hydrant repair and relocates - 60 hrs.
Estimated Total Hours 740 hrs. /yr.
Department Staffing Review
Unit Y149 is a 1975 Ford tractor that had a backhoe attachment added in 1977. The
unit is presently parked, as it has been determined unsafe due to automatic
transmission brakes and backhoe '
e s ing post.
Estimate from Carlson Equipment on 3 -13 -92 was $8,354.06, not including brakes,
to rebuild transmission, and rebush backhoe swing post. Trade -in value is $5,000
to $7,000 on a new backhoe per Carlson Equipment. Being a rubber tired backhoe,
there would be no need to trailer it.
Conclusion and Request
From the standpoint of crew efficiency and safety, the Public Works Department
recommends: (1) Purchase new backhoe plus rubber tired, capable of digging 15
ft. plus depths at a cost of $55,000. (2) Contract all backhoe work out. If we
purchase a bigger and better machine, we would use it more than the work hours
listed. This is true with more storm sewer maintenance upcoming in future with
the storm water utility. The Utility Department repairs to the water
distribution system and sanitary sewer system only increase as the system gets
older.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes
•
The attached memo details the rationale for installation of a chain link outfield
fence at Evergreen Park. This item was submitted by Park Maintenance Division
employees during the prioritization process, and reviewed and approved by the
Financial Task Force.
Purchase and installation of this fence is expected to pay for itself in less
than one year. Installation of this permanent fence will free up approximately
160 hours of full time labor and 80 hours of part time labor to provide badly
needed additional athletic field maintenance. Freeing up regular time may also
assist in reducing some overtime.
Two proposals have been received and reviewed. The lowest cost proposal was
received from Town & Country Fence, Inc., for $3,875. This item was not included
in the 1992 General Fund budget. If the Council wishes to approve purchase of
this item, it is recommended that the budget be amended and funds be transferred
from contingency funds to the Park Maintenance budget.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Approve the attached resolution approving installation, accepting the proposal of
Town & Country Fence, and amending the 1992 General Fund budget.

SUBJ: Prioritization Process Item
Willow Lane Hockey Fence /Evergreen Outfield Fence
A capital outlay item for Evergreen Park which would reduce operating costs was submitted as a
Priority 1 item by the Public Works Department in the prioritization process. By way of this memo
I request your approval to bring this proposed expenditure to the City Council for its immediate
consideration.
Each spring the hockey fencing at Willow Lane is taken down and transported to Evergreen Park,
where it is reassembled as a part of the outfield fence. Each fall the outfield fence is disassembled
and transported back to Willow Lane, where it is reassembled as a hockey fence. This process takes
an estimated 160 hours of labor by full time staff, plus an additional 80 hours of part time labor. The
value of this labor is $3,500 -4,000 annually.
We estimate the cost of a permanent outfield fence at Evergreen to be about $4,000. If this fence
were installed, the need to take down the Willow Lane hockey fence would be eliminated. This
would free up park staff to provide other services. This purchase would pay for itself in one year.
With your approval, I would like to bring two quotes to the Council for their consideration of this
item.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Aes
•
The attached memo details the rationale for purchase of a trailer for
transportation of the municipal band's instruments. This item was submitted by
Park Maintenance Division employees during the prioritization process, and
reviewed and approved by the Financial Task Force.
Purchase of this trailer is expected to pay for itself in reduced overtime and
other labor costs in one and one -half to two years. If recreation staff would be
available to assist Park Maintenance staff, the payback period would be much
quicker.
Two proposals have been received and reviewed. the lowest cost proposal was
received from Hilltop Trailer Sales, Inc., for $2,690. This item was not
included in the 1992 General Fund budget. If the Council wishes to approve
purchase of this item, it is recommended that the budget be amended and funds be
transferred from contingency funds to the Park Maintenance Division budget.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL AC'T'ION
Approve the attached resolution approving purchase, accepting the proposal from
Hilltop Trailer Sales, and amending the 1992 General Fund budget.

MEMORANDUM 911
March 26, 1992
TO: G. G. Splinter
FROM: Sy Knapp
SUBJ: Prioritization Process Item
Band Equipment Trailer
A capital outlay item for a band equipment trailer which would reduce operating costs was submitted
as a Priority 1 item by the Public Works Department in the prioritization process. By way of this
memo 1 request your approval to bring this proposed expenditure to the City Council for its
immediate consideration.
The Park Maintenance staff spend a considerable amount of overtime transporting band equipment.
In 1991, 100 hours were charged to the band program, of which 87 were overtime. In 1990, there
were 96 hours of overtime. The value of this labor is about $2,300 annually. Much of this time
accumulates because there is so much equipment being hauled by van that it takes several trips.
Purchase of a trailer large enough to hold all the equipment permanently would greatly reduce the
overtime required in loading, hauling, and unloading equipment.
We estimate the cost of such a trailer to be $2,600. Purchase of this trailer would reduce overtime
and would pay for itself in about two years.
With your approval, I would like to bring two quotes to the Council for their consideration of this
item.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved,

ITEM DESCRIPTION:
RESOLUTION AMENDING THE PUBLIC UTILITY FEE SCHEDULE RELATING TO METER RENTALS
DEPT. APPROVAL:
Sy Knapp, 'iXector df ublic Works
MANAGER'S REVIEW /RECOMMENDATION:
No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached
SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached No
The last comprehensive amendment to the public utility fee schedule was
• Resolution No. 90 -241. Among the fee increases was the rental rate for 2 - '/ 2 "
hydrant meters. That resolution increased the deposit from $600 to $700, and the
daily rental from $6 to $7.
Some firms have need for a meter for an extended period of time. When a daily
rental rate is applied, the rental fee can within a few months exceed the
deposit. I recommend that the fee schedule be amended to provide for a monthly
rental fee of $100. This will provide flexibility to firms with special needs.
I further recommend that rental charges be invoiced monthly, and that the monthly
rate be charged when a rental period exceeds two calendar weeks.
One firm, Valley Paving, rented a meter last year for seven months. Their total
rental bill under the existing fee schedule is $1,449. They have complained that
this rental fee is excessive. I recommend that the amended fee schedule be
applied in Valley Paving's case, reducing their rental fee from $1,449 to $700.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Approve the attached resolution amending the fee schedule and applying it to
Valley Paving's past due invoice.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of

2 - 1 h" Hydrant Meter Rental

2. The daily rental rate shall be applied to all terms of rental
which are two calendar weeks or less. Hydrant rental charges

RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Member introduced the following
resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION REGARDING LEGISLATION ADOPTING NEW FINANCING
TOOLS FOR REDEVELOPMENT
WHEREAS, the City of Brooklyn Center has completed a
comprehensive planning process to identify needs and issues
relative to housing and economic development in the City of
Brooklyn Center; and
WHEREAS, these plans have identified a variety of issues
and needs including the following:
FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING
1. Changing demographics resulting in a shrinking
first time home buyer market and the need to stay
competitive for the first time home buyer market.
2. Meeting the needs of an aging housing stock and the
need for substantial rehabilitation of single
family homes and the necessary financing for
rehabilitation.
3. The creation of home ownership opportunities,
including new home construction, for the greatest
possible number of people and the necessary
financing for these opportunities.
4. The need for comprehensive neighborhood
preservation, including livability of
neighborhoods, maintenance of public services,
neighborhood and City promotion and resident
involvement in neighborhood preservation
strategies.
FOR MULTI - FAMILY HOUSING
1. Recognition of demographic changes resulting in a
decrease in demand for rental housing and the
resulting oversupply of rental housing.
2. Preservation and maintenance of rental housing
stock in the face of increasing obstacles to rental
housing investment.
3. Maintenance of desirable housing for renters with
necessary provision of supportive services,
particularly for families and low and moderate
income persons.
FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
1. Maintenance of the City of Brooklyn Center's
position as a leading retail center including
continuation of Brookdale Mall as a regional retail
center.
2. Redevelopment of key commercial/ industrial areas
within the City.
3. Focusing efforts on business expansion and
retention within the local economy.
WHEREAS, the need to address the above described issues
is of the highest priority for the City of Brooklyn Center; and
WHEREAS, one of the major factors in successfully
responding to these housing and economic development issues is the
availability of financial resources; and
WHEREAS, existing municipal, state and federal programs
for housing and economic development are not adequate to provide
the level of financial resources or flexibility to adequately
address the housing and economic development needs as identified
by the City's housing and economic development plans;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Brooklyn Center as follows:
1. It is the belief of the City of Brooklyn Center
that cities have the primary responsibility for
meeting housing and economic development needs in
their jurisdiction.
2: Cities should be granted sufficient authority and
flexibility to meet the unique local needs of
housing and economic development as defined by
local plans.
3. There is a great need for additional funding
sources beyond cities' existing revenue sources to
allow cities to meet local housing and economic
development needs and objectives and that these
financial resources could include State grants,
State bonds, additional HRA or EDA levy authority,
special levies for housing and removal of
limitations on tax increment financing.
4. Access to funding for municipal housing and
economic development programs should be based on
needs established by a local planning process.
5. Any future funding resources or tools for housing
or economic development created by the State should
_ take into account the needs identified by local
housing and economic development plans.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City staff is hereby
directed to forward this resolution to the City of Brooklyn
Center's State legislative representatives and that the City's
legislative representatives are encouraged to consider the local
needs expressed in this Resolution in the development of any
future legislation regarding housing and economic development.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached No 1
• Earlier this year the Council authorized staff to submit applications to the
Global ReLeaf Fund for matching grants to increase funds available for
reforestation. Staff submitted two applications: a request for $3,000 to double
the Residential Reforestation program, and a request for $3,300 for a planting
project in Evergreen Park.
Global ReLeaf has awarded the Residential Reforestation program a $1,000 grant.
This grant will enable the City to provide 20 additional $50 tree planting grants
to homeowners. This grant is one of 30 totalling $52,000, and was largely
supported by the Aveda Corporation, through its Second Annual Aveda Earth Day
Cut- A -Thon.
The grant application for the Evergreen Park project is still pending. A third
grant request made this year, for $5,000 from the Small Business Administration,
is also still pending.

SUIVEVIARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes
• Attached is a packet of information prepared for the proposed Adopt -a -Park,
Adopt -A- Trail, and Adopt -a- Street programs.
Included in the packet is a listing of City facilities which staff believe could
benefit most from "adoption." In general, these include all City parks; segments
of major trails not located in parks; and several high visibility street
segments. Civic organizations or individuals who may have alternative facilities
in mind would be allowed to adopt those facilities as long there was no
compelling reason not to (e.g., the facility was covered by another program, such
as DNR's Adopt -A- River, or the facility was determined to be unsafe or unsuitable
for volunteers, such as very busy streets).
Five civic groups have already expressed an interest in participating (Brooklyn
Center Rotary, Brooklyn Center Junior Royalty, Children's World Learning Center,
Twin Lakes Association, and Mr. Vic Henry and others in his neighborhood). The
various scouting councils will be notifying troop leaders that the programs are
available. A listing of clubs and organizations, schools and churches has been
compiled and is ready for a mailing.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Review the enclosed information, and approve a resolution establishing the
programs. Direct staff to begin soliciting participation.

Dear Community Organization:
The City of Brooklyn Center is pleased to offer your organization an opportunity to become
involved in the recently approved Adopt -A -Park, Adopt -A- Trail, Adopt -A- Street Programs.
These programs are modeled after the MNDOT Adopt -A- Highway Program, and are
designed to involve civic organizations in a personal commitment to provide a cleaner and
safer community.
Community groups, clubs, churches, schools, service organizations, neighborhood groups,
scouts, and individuals are being asked to consider adopting one of the city facilities
highlighted on the enclosed map. Participating groups are asked to commit to providing
service at least three times a year for at least two years. In return, participating groups will
receive recognition in the form of a small sign at the facility, a City Council resolution
thanking them for participating, and the satisfaction of providing a useful community service.
Participants are asked to provide trash pickup and general cleanup. It is also possible for
groups to be involved in weed pulling and flower bed /shrub maintenance, flower planting,
painting, or other occasional services.
Mr. Kent Korman of the Park Maintenance staff is available to provide assistance in selecting
a City facility which best meets the interests and needs of participating groups. The Park
Maintenance Department will provide trash bags, gloves, litter pickup sticks, and other
materials, as well as safety vests for participants working near traffic. Park Maintenance
staff will collect and dispose of trash bags and other items.
If your organization is interested in participating in the Adopt -A -Park, Adopt -A- Trail, Adopt -
A- Street programs, please contact Kent Korman in the Park Maintenance Department, 569 -
3380, or Joyce Gulseth in the Engineering Department, 569 -3340, or send in the enclosed
application form . Projects will be allocated on a first -come first- served basis.
Thank you for considering participating in this program. We look forward to working with
you on this program.

• SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes
Attached hereto are the following items:
• a revised opinion from City Attorney LeFevere.
• a letter from the attorney representing Brown and Cris, the 2nd low bidder.
• a revised resolution which would waive the irregularity in S.M. Hentges and
Sons'low bid, and award the contract to that firm, with the provision that
the City retain that portion of the mobilization item which exceeds S% of
the total bid until the project is substantially complete.

Hentges and Sons on this basis there is no material advantage to that bidder, and
we can see no basis on which the City would be harmed. Accordingly, we agree
with the City Attorney and recommend award of the contract to the Hentges firm.

Brooklyn Center, MN 55430
Re: Award of Contract for 69th Avenue Project
Dear Sy:
In my letter to you of April 8, 1992, I advised that the most legally defensible course
of action in response to the irregular bid of S.M. Hentges would be to reject the bid
and award the contract to the next lowest responsible bidder. Since writing that
letter, several things have been called to my attention that have caused me to
reconsider that opinion.
In evaluating whether an irregular bid should be rejected, an important
consideration is whether the irregularity is of such a nature that it gives the bidder
a material advantage over other bidders. In concluding that the bid of S.M. Hentges
should be rejected I assumed that the amount mount bid for mobilization would be aid u
p p
front, thereby reducing the need for cash on the part of the contractor. If this
were an accurate
assumption, exceeding the 5$ limitation specified in the contract
documents ents could rov'
p ide a material advantag to a bidder. however, I was unaware
of several provisions of the MNDOT Standard Specifications which are included in
the contract documents by reference. The first such provision is Section 2021.5(f)
which allows the City to withhold any amounts bid for mobilization in excess of 5% of
the contract price until the project is completed. If the City exercises its right to
so withhold any amount in excess of 5 %, there is no early payment to the contractor
and therefore no reduction in the need for cash by the contractor.
Additionally, the amount bid for mobilization is not paid immediately, but rather is
paid as. the work progresses. The formula for payment, found in Section 2021.5 of
the MNDOT specifications, is based on the progress of work on certain items defined
as "Major Contract Items, This formula is somewhat complex; but in discussing the
effect of the formula with Mark Maloney and representatives of SEH, we have
determined that the maximum advantage to the bidder of a bid of 8% for mobilization
in this case would be the payment of approximately $7,500, one or two months earlier
than it would have been paid if only 5% had been bid. Assuming an interest rate of
10%, this would only amount to an advantage of from $62.50 to $125.00. There are
also some disadvantages to the contractor to a bid of more than 5% for mobilization
if the City withholds payment of the excess amount until the contract is completed.
One disadvantage is that the excess amount is not paid until the contract is
oomplotod ovon through the aXp6nses iiV-1U11 , &d b Ual uu1ALJ aclur uc;c:ur much earlier
CLL33126

in the course of the contract. If the excess amount had been included in some line
item involving earlier work, the contractor would be paid at a much earlier date. A
second disadvantage to the bidder is that change orders are paid for on the basis of
extension of the contract price for line items.. Therefore, if the excess amount had
been placed in some other line item category, a change order increasing the amount
of the work in that line item would have increased the payment to the contractor in
a greater amount.. These two disadvantages are very likely to cost the contractor
a good deal more money than the advantage it could gain by a higher bid for
mobilization.
For these reasons, I believe that it would be reasonable for the Council to determine
that the irregularity does not give the low bidder a material advantage if the Council
exercises its option to withhold the amount bid in excess of 5% until the end of the
project.
�o
If the Council determines that it is free waive an irregularity, It must then
determine whether it is in the best inte sts of the project to do so. In this case,
there is one obvious reason why it wou be advantageous to waive the irregularity:
the fact that the bid is approximate $15,000 lower than the next lowest bid. We
have been able to determine only circumstances in which waiving the irregularity
would be disadvantageous to the City. They are: 1) termination of the contract for
the convenience of the City, and 2) significant delay in the project for reasons which
are not the fault of the contractor. In either case, the City could be required to pay
am amount to the contractor that exceeds the 5% of the project cost set forth in the
contract. In my earlier opinion, I assumed that this project included the road work
on that part of 69th Avenue where the City is encountering unpredictable soil
conditions, and that therefore delay in the project was more likely to occur than in
a normal road project. However, this project does not include that part of 89th
Avenue. Therefore, delay or termination of the project is very unlikely to occur.
Moreover, as noted earlier in this letter, there are several reasons why a higher bid
for mobilization are actually advantageous to the City because of the payment
proc%2dures established in the MNDOT specifications. One Is that change orders
increasing work or quantities in other line items (which I am told is more likely to
occur than decreasing such items) would be less expensive for the City. The other
advantage is that 3% of the contract amount (the amount bid in excess of 5% of the
total project cost) is nearly $45, 000. If the City withholds this amount until the end
of the project rather than pay it as the work progresses, as it would have had to do
if this amount were included in some other line item, the reduction of project costs
could be several thousand dollars.
Therefore, it is my opinion that accepting the low bid is quite defensible provided
the City withholds all amounts bid for mobilization in excess of 5% until the end of the
project.
Very truly yours,
Charles L. LeFevere

City of Brooklyn Center - improvement Project No. 1990
Dear Mr. LeFevere.
This law firm represents Brown & Cris, Inc, with respect to its
bid to the city of Brooklyn Center for t construction cif
Improvement P N 1990 -10, Contract 2992 -B, the
construction of 69th Avenue North. The bids for this Project
were opened March 31, 1992, witli S.M. HentcreS & Sons the apparent
low bidder at *1,499, and Brown & Cris, Tnc:. , the apparent
second bidder at $1,514,315.15, well below the engineer's
estimate.
After a review of the bids, City staff determined that HentgG's
bid is nonresponsive because it ra iled to comply with the City's
requirement i c
in Bid c
q D o c uments that the m unt }yid or
a a f
Mobilization �� . .., s Z not exceed 5 percent of the total Base-
Did amount." You agreed with this conclusion and argued quite-
persuasively in your better dated April 8, 1992, to Sy Knapp,
City Public works Director, that the City should reject Hentge's
bid and award the contract to Brown & Cris, Inc.
I learned late today that City staff has now changed its mind
ana Vuita ramxzk;1bl Y l detreMi.ned that the Herlt(je' rrUr�re �vris ive
bid is now rccponzive. This new condIUSlull is not laeja)ly
supportable for the various reasons you dutll.r,ea in your lnt.r_nr
to Mr. Knapp and is clearly contrary to the City's own Bid
Documents.
