Also present were City Manager Gerald Splinter, Director of Public Works Sy Knapp, Director of Finance Paul Holmlund, Director of Planning & Inspection Ron Warren, Director of Parks & Recreation Gene Hagel, City Attorney Richard Schieffer, Assistant City Engineer Jim Grube, and Administrative Assistant Tom Bublitz. INVOCATION The invocation was offered by Councilmember Theis. OPEN FORUM Mayor Nyquist noted the Council had received a request to use the Open Forum session this evening from Jesse and Patricia Sandoval, 5548 Logan Avenue North. Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Sandoval who explained he lives at 5548 Logan Avenue North and that this past Friday he received a letter from the City regarding a complaint concerning a violation of the City Ordinance Section 1 -106, which regulates the number of dogs per household which can be kept in the City. He explained he has five small poodles at his home and that they have never left his yard, and present no problem to the neighborhood. He added he tried to give three of the younger dogs away, and that they all were returned to him. He explained all the dogs have been spayed or neutered. He explained he was upset about the anonymous call which initiated the complaint and questioned why this individual could not speak to him directly if there was a problem. He requested the City Council to somehow make it possible for him to keep his dogs. Mayor Nyquist recognized Patricia Sandoval, who explained that the younger dogs have been with them for three years and the neighbors have offered to sign a petition stating the dogs are not a nuisance. She explained the dogs do not leave their yard, and that she wished the ordinance could be changed so her family could keep the dogs. The City Manager explained the City ordinance is designed to protect the neighborhood from persons who may not take care of their dogs as well as the Sandovals. He explained the staff would look at the ordinance to see what can be done to help Mr. Sandoval and to prepare a report to the Council in two weeks.

RESOLUTIONS The City Manager introduced a Resolution Ordering Improvement and Preparation of Plans and Specifications for 51st Avenue North Water Main Improvement Project No. 1982 -07. The Director of Public Works reviewed the proposed project and noted that it was initiated by the property owner, Mr. Ron Brixius, 4100 - 51st Avenue North. He explained that Mr. Keith Harstad has presented a preliminary plat for the development of his property along 51st, but that it became obvious in discussions with Mr. Harstad that the economics of the plat and the installation of all the necessary improvements do not appear economically feasible. He added that it is also questionable whether any benefit could be proved for the Tri -State property. He added the most feasible approach would appear to be to plan for the development of all vacant property in the area including the Tri -State land. He explained Mr. Harstad has contacted the Tri -State Land Company regarding the purchase of their property. The Director of Public Works noted there are other wells in the area, one of which is between 100 and 200 feet deep, is tested annually, and has proven to be potable water. He explained the estimated cost of a well at 100 to 200 feet in depth would be approximately $2,000 to $3,000. He added that Mr. Brixius is concerned about • spending the $2,000 to $3,000 for the well, then later being required to pay an assessment if City water is brought to the property. The Director of Public Works pointed out assessments can be levied against the Brixius and Harstad property to recover approximately one -half the cost of the project. Councilmember Lhotka commented the alternatives appear to be to spend a great amount to bring water to the property or to drill a well at a lesser cost. The City Manager stated if City funds are used to drill a well, it would have to be a public well and this is not an advisable solution. The Director of Public Works also pointed out if a public well is created, the maintenance would be very expensive to operate, given the criteria for maintaining a public water supply. The City Attorney added a public well is really not a workable solution and stated, in his opinion, the alternatives appear to be to 6 -28 -82 -2- have the owner drill his own well or to have the City put in the water line, assess the properties, and have the City pick up one -half of the total cost. The Director of Public Works pointed out, in addition to construction costs, some easement costs may also be incurred in the project. The City Attorney posed the possibility of assessing the project and deferring the assessment on the Tri -State land property. He added the assessment roll could be proposed and the project could be delayed until any appeals are made and an easement is negotiated. The Director of Public Works stated, if the easement went to condemnation the project could probably not be built this year. Councilmember Lhotka inquired what the City's obligation was with regard to providing sewer and water. The City Attorney stated the property owner requested the project in this case, and the City has an obligation to install the project if it is feasible. He added the property owners can then be assessed for the project and that tonight's discussion is intended to determine the feasibility of the project. RESOLUTION NO. 82 -118 Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION ORDERING IMPROVEMENT AND PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR 51ST AVENUE NORTH WATER MAIN IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1982 -07 The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Celia Scott. The Council continued to discuss the project and there was a general concern among Council members regarding the cost of the project. Councilmember Lhotka stated that he feels an obligation to provide water to the property but that he is also concerned with the cost of the project. Mayor Nyquist noted a four /fifths roll call vote is required to order the project constructed. He proceeded with the roll call vote. Councilmember Hawes stated he is voting yes on the resolution but qualified his vote with the condition that one - half of the cost of the project would be asessed immediately. Councilmember Scott voted yes. Councilmember Lhotka voted yes. Councilmember Theis voted no and stated he believes the action could be delayed to consider development of the other property in the area and also to continue testing the water in the area. Mayor Nyquist voted yes. The resolution was declared duly passed and adopted by a four /fifths roll call vote.

In discussion of the next resolution a Resolution Revising Municipal State Aid Street System Designations within the City of Brooklyn Center, the Director of Public Works pointed out that on March 22, 1982 the City Council adopted a resolution providing for certain revisions to the City's Municipal State Aid system. He explained the resolution before the Council this evening essentially accomplishes the same result as Resolution No. 82 -48 but accomplishes it in a manner acceptable to the MN /DOT administration. Originally, he pointed out, the City proposed a joint City /County designation on 69th Avenue North, which is allowed by statute. He 6 -28 -82 -6- added that the MN /DOT administration does not favor designation of joint Municipal /County /State aid streets and also that the exchange of designations, even after the maximum mileage is exceeded because of trunk highway turnbacks,is allowed so long as the revocation and new designation are accomplished concurrently. Therefore, he stated the staff is recommending that the City now adopt the revised resolution which retains the MSA designation of 62nd Avenue between Dupont Avenue and Lyndale Avenue and of 67th Avenue between Dupont Avenue and West River Road. He pointed out this revised resolution does not designate 69th Avenue from the west corporate limits to Brooklyn Boulevard as a combined Municipal /County /State Aid street. He also recommended that in the future when Hennepin County wishes to revoke its designation of this segment of 69th, the City then act to concurrently revoke the designations of the 62nd and 67th Avenue segments and designate this segment of 69th Avenue. RESOLUTION NO. 82 -121 Member Bill Hawes introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION REVISING MUNICIPAL STATE AID STREET SYSTEM DESIGNATIONS WITHIN THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Celia Scott, and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Dean Nyquist, Gene Lhotka, Celia Scott, Bill Hawes, and Rich Theis; and the following voted against the same: none, whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted. The City Manager introduced a Resolution Authorizing Execution of Agreement for Engineering Services for Water Supply Study. The Director of Public Works stated that the study, completed by Black & Veatch in 1980, was done to quantify the water needs in the City and to determine how to allocate the water in the City. He explained it was not a detailed study of the supply side of the system. He stated the Black & Veatch study made several recommendations with regard to the water supply including the recommendation that a detailed hydrologic study be conducted to review and evaluate the City's long range well production potential. He pointed out the study would evaluate the long term effort of regional ground water use on Brooklyn Center's supply and reliability and also established a location and capacity of additional wells. In addition the Black & Veatch 1980 report recommended at least one additional well be installed by 1981, that the ultimate demand will require either the installation of five or six new wells or the installation of three new wells and a 2.5 million gallon ground storage reservoir, and that a central control system be provided to operate all existing and future wells and water tanks. The Director of Public Works reviewed the qualifications of the consultants interviewed for the study and recommended the City accept Black & Veatch's proposal and enter into the proposed contract. Councilmember Hawes inquired whether the option of using the river as a water source had ever been investigated. The Director of Public Works replied that the addition of five to six wells in the City assumes no rationing of water would ever be necessary and that with five to six wells no backup water supply source would be needed. He 6 -28 -82 -7- added the cost of a water purification plant, which would be needed with river water use, was estimated at $14,000,000 by Black & Veatch in their 1980 study. The City Manager stated his concern regarding the City's water system is the fact the discovery of a number of contamination sites throughout the State by the PCA leaves many questions with regard to the ultimate effect on water supply sources throughout the State. He added no one knows how these sites or other contamination sites may affect the City of Brooklyn Center, and that this is one of the reasons he would recommend the study, that being, to make the best possible recommendation for future water supply sources. Council discussion continued regarding the advisability of the study and Councilmember Lhotka stated that he recalled the past discussions of the Council which seemed to indicate the Hinckley aquifer should be the next aquifer that is tapped for water. The Director of Public Works stated that previous Council discussions had focused on this but at that time we were unaware that the Hinckley aquifer is being "mined," meaning the water supply is not being replenished as fast as it is being used. He noted the Jordan aquifer, the aquifer currently used by the City is being replenished. The City Manager stated the staff is recommending the study to minimize the risk of maintaining a future water supply for the City. The Director Public Works stated all sources of contaminants are not known, and the PCA is in the process of evaluating those sites throughout the State. He pointed out the PCA indicated these sources of contamination are considerable. He added the consultant used in this study can evaluate the known sources and how they might affect the City's water supply, and that the consultant can also use a gas chromatograph to analyze well water for traces of contaminants hopefully, none of which will be found. RESOLUTION NO. 82 -122 Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Bill Hawes, and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Dean Nyquist, Gene Lhotka, Celia Scott, Bill Hawes, and Rich Theis; and the following voted against the same: none, whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted.

J 6 -28 -82 -8- I DISCUSSION ITEMS EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM The City Manager reported on the first discussion item, the Employee Assistance Program contract for 1982 -1983• He explained this program has been very successful in the City and provides confidential referrals for employees with chemical, financial, marital or other problems which could affect job performance. He added the staff is recommending the program be renewed for another year. He pointed out Administrative Assistant Bublitz has prepared a memorandum which is included in the Council agenda and discusses the Employee Assistance Program and the cost of the program. There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Theis to approve the statement of agreement between Cromer Management, Inc. and the City of Brooklyn Center to renew the Employee Assistance Program for the period July 1, 1982 to June 30, 1983• Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Lhotka, Scott, Hawes, and Theis.

He pointed out the vandalism appears to be ongoing and includes shingles being torn off the roof, siding and fascia boards torn off, doors and door frames kicked in, interior siding torn off the walls and obscene graffiti over the entire building. Councilmember Scott commented on the reduced organized activity in Freeway Park and inquired whether a shelter building would be necessary to maintain. Councilmember Hawes inquired as to the type of equipment in the park. The Director of Parks and Recreation explained that the park had recently been improved with a paved parking lot, a pathway, a hard surface volley ball court, and new playground equipment. Councilmember Scott suggested sending the notice regarding the condition and problems with the building to the surrounding neighborhood and to invite them to the August Park and Recreation Commission meeting to voice their opinion on the future of the shelter building. Councilmember Hawes stated he supports sending the letter to the neighborhood and would also support placing this item on as a discussion item on the Park and Recreation Commission agenda for August.

He explained Lyndale would start at an exit ramp on 49th and proceed south. He stated the recommendation that the staff is making is to rename the portion of Lyndale Avenue north of this point as Bass Lake Road to maintain the continuity of the street name. He pointed out this would provide the portion of Lyndale renamed Bass Lake Road would continue from the point around 49th Avenue all the way across Brooklyn Center and into Crystal.
