the hours of operation. He stated he felt it would be possible that the
counseling sessions could run past 9 p.m. if they started at 8 p.m. He stated
he would like to make the hours of operation 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mr. Arnott stated
this would be possible. Councilmember Hawes inquired if the applicant would

parked on site and the number of each size. Councilmember Theis stated he would
not like to see eight 22' trucks parked on the site, and he would like to impose
a limitation on the number of 22 vehicles. Councilmember Theis stated he
believed there should be no more than four vehicles in excess of 20' with no
more than eight vehicles total on site. Councilmember Lhotka stated he felt
Councilmember Theis was being much too generous and there should be no more than
two vehicles 20' with a total of six vehicles on site. Councilmember Hawes

vote by the Council. He noted the third ordinance is offered this evening for a
first reading. He explained staff has recently been advised that state law has
been modified so as to make some of the proposed ordinance revisions regarding

inoperable. He noted state law has been changed to allow persons to designate
their desired vehicle classification rather than for particular vehicles to be
classified uniformly in the various weight classifications. He stated if the
Council is so inclined to approve the second ordinance, then they must also
approve the first ordinance.

size trucks and their weights. The City Manager stated if the Council can
describe the size limit they wish to enforce then staff will investigate it.

the criteria. He then went on to review slides showing the length and height of
different vehicles within the City. Councilmember Lhotka stated he would like
to know the length of the longest van that is manufactured. He stated he feels
it is larger than the one shown in the slides. Councilmember Scott pointed out
it appears that buses would not be allowed to park at churches or schools.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Kevin Smith, 6106 Quail Avenue North. Mr. Smith
explained that he had recently started a business and would be required to
remove his business vehicle from his residence if the ordinance were passed.
Mr. Smith stated if he were required to store his vehicle off -site, he would
basically be put out of business because he does not have the additional money

would not be allowed under these ordinance provisions.

to find out how many store buses on their property, and he would like more
information regarding the length of the largest van being manufactured.

DISCUSSION ITEMS
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN
The City Manager explained Minnesota statutes were recently revised which
require the City to have a certificate of compliance, issued by the Commissioner
of the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, pertaining to an affirmative action
plan. He noted without this certificate state funds will not be released to the
City. He explained the greatest impact on the City of Brooklyn Center for
noncompliance is in the area of Minnesota state aid funds for roads. Mayor
Nyquist stated he would like to layover approval of this item to allow for more
review time. The Personnel Coordinator stated the City must have the plan
submitted to the state by December 1, 1988. She added the Council does have
time to layover this item until the next Council meeting but added time would be
short after that meeting. The City Manager explained these are goals which the
City would try to reach, but the City is not required to meet the goals. He
added he would have this item put on the agenda for the November 21, 1988,
meeting.
STATUS AND IMPACT OF BFI VS. HENNEPIN RECYCLING GROUP LAWSUIT AND REVIEW OF
RECYCLING CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS
The City Manager explained the City can work around the BFI lawsuit and go on
with a separate recycling program. He noted this will create some coordination
problems. He explained if the City wished to coordinate garbage and recycling
pickups, the program would most likely start in June or July. He stated staff
is recommending the two programs be coordinated so the City does not get off to
a bad start. Councilmember Lhotka inquired when the City must comply to the
state law. The City Manager stated the City must have submitted a plan by 1989
and have the plan in place during 1989. He added the County has stated they
will not pursue Brooklyn Center if we are under a lawsuit. Councilmember Lhotka
stated he would like to see that statement in writing. He added that he is in
favor of starting the program as a coordinated effort even if it means starting
11/7/88 -7-
in June or July. Councilmember Hawes agreed it would be best to take the extra "
time and start the program correctly.
PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING BICYCLE TRAIL PLAN
The City Manager explained in September of 1988, the Park and Recreation
Commission recommended "concept approval" of a bicycle trailway plan. He noted
this proposed plan was included in the Council's agenda packet. The Director of
Public Works briefly reviewed the report and proposed plan for the Council.
Councilmember Lhotka inquired what a ballpark figure would be if the City were
to complete everything on the plan at one time. The Director of Public Works
stated it would be between $3 million and $5 million. He explained if the
trailway changes and improvements were combined with other street improvement
projects, the total cost of the trailway plan could be cut in half. He noted,
however, this would take a number of years to complete, and the City would have
to wait for the street improvement projects to create the opportunities for the
trailway system.
There was a motion by Councilmember Theis and seconded by Councilmember Scott
approving the concept of the trail plan. The motion passed unanimously.
RESOLUTION NO. 88 -185

have been proposed over the past 12 months. He inquired what further action the
Council would like to take on these amendments. Councilmember Lhotka stated he
would like to see these amendments pursued, and he would also like to see the
City implement a policy or ordinance which would require driveway aprons from
the street to the driveway to be paved.

the City should be taking a step in the direction towards training minorities
for higher level positions..
The EDA Coordinator entered the meeting at 7:06 p.m.
Mayor Nyquist inquired what changes in procedures would occur after
implementation of this plan. The Personnel Coordinator stated the City is
currently performing at this level, however, it would be possible to notify a
few more minority agencies with job postings. Mayor Nyquist inquired if it
would be possible to make a change in wording on page two, section two,
paragraph three, so the paragraph would read "the City of Brooklyn Center will
commit the time and resources, reasonably necessary, both financial and human,
to achieve the goals of equal employment opportunity and affirmative action."

(Reconditioning of Well No. 8 - Located at Camden Avenue North and Woodbine
Lane). Councilmember Scott inquired what else could possibly go wrong with this
well. The Director of Public Works stated he could not imagine any other
problems with this well unless there was an underestimation of costs for the
amount of bailing and gravel packing needed. He noted they tried to use the
worst case scenario in developing these estimates. Councilmember Scott inquired
what kind of guarantee is the contractor making about this work. The Director
11/21/88 -3-
r
of Public Works stated the City's consultant, Short - Elliott- Hendrickson, Inc.
has stated this is a very sure fire way of constructing a well. Councilmember

it would be approximately $650,000. He noted most of the equipment would not be
salvageable with the exception of a few pumps and other mechanical equipment.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached -
History
® April 25. 1988 - The city council was introduced to the community energy programs (home energy
checkups and house doctor, the latter of which is now known as project air) and directed staff to
pursue participation in these programs funded by grants from the Minnesota Department of Public
Service (DPS), Energy Division; NSP; and Minnegasco. The council also directed staff to work
cooperatively with the cities of Golden Valley and Crystal in pursuing participation.
May 9. 1988 - The city council passed resolution 88 -67 which authorized the City of Brooklyn Center
to act as lead community in initiating a joint agreement with the cities of Crystal and Golden Valley
for the governor's community energy program. Subsequently, a grant application was submitted to the
DPS, and $48,583 has been appropriated for administrative costs of the programs in the three cities.
The city council also passed resolution 88 -68 designating Barbara Jensen and Todd Paulson to serve as
Brooklyn Center's representatives on the community energy council (CEC), which has since met four
times to review the details of the energy programs.
CURRENT STATUS
The next step in the process is for the City to enter into agreements with all participating parties.
Following is a list of the agreements and a brief explanation of the purpose of each.
1. State of Minnesota, Department of Public Service
$48,583 is available to the three cities to cover administrative costs of the community energy
programs. These funds will pass through the City of Brooklyn Center to West Hennepin Human
Services Planning Board (WHHSPB), the agency responsible for administration of the programs.
I�-
2: West Hennepin Human Services Planning Board
This agreement allows the State's funds to pass on to WHHSPB. Most of the language from the
City's agreement with the State is included in the Ci ty g 's agreement with WHHSPB.
0 3. Northern States Power and WHHSPB
Funding is available from NSP for home energy checkups to be conducted in Brooklyn Center.
An energy checkup will " be done in participating homes and weatherization materials valued at
approximately $20 will be left in most homes. Each customer will be billed $10 for the audit;
however, this fee will be waived for disadvantaged households (lower - income, elderly,
handicapped, or single parents). The audits will be conducted by staff of WHHSPB.
4. Minnegasco and WHHSPB
$20,500 is available from Minnegasco for project air to be conducted in Brooklyn Center. This
program will be available to low income homeowners who are Minnegasco residential heating
customers. The purpose of this program is to reduce air infiltration, install /replace or
recommend replacement/installation of insulation, and improve or recommend improvements to
heating and domestic hot water system efficiency. There will be no charge to customers;
however, the value of each completed project is approximately $410. WHHSPB will be responsible
for administering project air, and the actual work will be subcontracted to the lowest responsible
bidder with experience in such a program.
The city attorney has reviewed all four contracts and language changes were made as recommended
by him. Director of Finance Paul Holmlund has reviewed the liability sections of each contract with
the City's risk management consultant to ensure the City is appropriately covered.

2. problem statement (Describe the problem this project is expected
to address.)
Currently very little effort is being undertaken to promote energy
conservation in the suburbs of west and northwest Hennepin County.
What effort is being undertaken is on a city by city basis. While
programs are offered ` in some of the cities very little may be
available in a neighboring city. in addition the _opportunities that
are a v a i l a b l e are not community based and thus less likely to be used
by the community. Another problem facing low income households is the
continued cutbacks in the energy assistance program, the lack of
coordination between the various agencies established to serve these
groups, the history of energy crises marry of these households face and
the feeling that they have no control over their energy costs. The
specific problems this project would address are: the low level of
community awareness concerning energy conservation, ion, the reluctance of
househ t incorporate conservation ion pract ices into their dally
.lives, the lack of ski lls by many househo on installing lo w cost
energy conservation materials in their (homes and the need for (Many low
income ho u<_set lds to incorporate energy conservation practices into
their dai lives.

PROIE07 INFORMATION
Problem statement (Describe the problem this project is expected
to address.)
Currently very litt effort is being undertaken to promote energy
conservation in the suburbs of west and northwest Hennepin County.
What effort is being undertaken is on a city by city basis. While
Programs are offered'in some of the cities very little may be
available in a neighboring city. in addition the opportunities that
are available are not community based and thus less likely to be used
icy the community. Another- problem facing low income housenolds is the
continued cutbacks in the energy assistance program, the lacy of
coQrdinat between the vario=us agencies establisned to serve these
groups, the history of energy crises many of these households face and
the feeling that they have n• � control over their energy costs. The
Specific Problems thi=_ pro would address are: the low level of
Co=mmunity awareness concerning energy conservat th reluctance of
h ousehold, to incorporate conservation �n pract ices into their daily
lives, the lack Of skills by many ilousen ids on installing low cost
energy 4•_nsyrvation materials in their homes and the need for many low
income h use:':olos .= incorp e nerg y �
P gy c•.r��ervat ion practic s into

ATTACHMENT A
is Dear Resident:
Your City is making an exciting new energy conservation service
available this winter. Called a Home Energy Checkup, it is a visit by a
professional energy analyst who will help you identify opportunities to
increase home comfort and lower your utility bills.
The program is exciting because (1)it is an-excellent value--from
to $40 worth of conservation materials are left or directly installed in
the home. (2)The service costs just 510, or is free*, but it is supplied
by trained, experienced professionals (state- certified energy auditors).
(3)The service includes the most advanced technology available for -
assessing comfort problems: a "blower door" test to measure and locate air
leakage (drafts), and furnace testing to measure efficiency and check for
safe operation. (4)The personnel are trained to listen to your problems
and to give you real answers, not just paperwork.
The City is cooperating to provide this service through West Hennepin
Human Services, with funding through Northern States Power. No City tax
dollars are used to support the program.
. Brooklyn Center residents are urged to take advantage of this
program. It will make your winter more comfortable, improve the City's
housing stock, and help to keep fuel dollars in our local economy.
To apply, simply sign below and return this form with your water bill.

SECTION 4. PROJECT AIR
WHHS may subcontract with a qualified subcontractor to complete the
weatherization improvements listed in Sections 4.1 -4.3. These
improvements will be based on reductions of air leakage which will be
measured by depressurizing the home and calculating Cubic Feet per
Minute (CFM) of air flow through the blower door at 50 Pascals (50
Pa). The calculations may be modified by height, wind shielding, and
leakiness correction factors as developed by Lawrence Berkeley
Laboratories and adapted to Minnesota by the Energy Division,
Minnesota Department of Public Service.
WHHS will establish a goal for the subcontractor to reduce the
correctable air infiltration rate of each home by an average of 40 %.
Homes will not be tightened beyond the following limits:
For homes with 5 or less current or potential occupants
(estimated at 2 occupants per bedroom): 1200 CFM at 50 Pa.
° For homes with 6 or more current or potential occupants
(estimated at 2 occupants per bedroom): Number of occupants
times 225 CFM at 50 Pa.
The subcontractor shall perform blower door tests throughout the day,
at appropriate intervals, to insure that the house is not tightened
below the CFM limits stated above and to determine whether further air
infiltration reduction is practical, safe and cost effective or
whether the subcontractor should perform non -air infiltration
reduction measures listed in Sections 4.2 and 4.3. The subcontractor
shall document the rationale for the decision to discontinue air
infiltration reduction measures and implement non -air infiltration
reduction measures. No home shall be left at an infiltration rate
less than the above stated limits to ensure the home remains above
nationally recognized safe ventilation levels. Each home is subject

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached
Over the years, numerous _projects have been started and completed in the Capital
Projects Fund, but none have been officially closed since 1983. The attached
resolution closes all projects which are now complete, except the Golf Course
which is handled separately.
Most of the individual projects came in under budget and the group as a whole is
under budget. However, several projects were over budget. The attached memo
gives explanations for the four projects with the largest overruns. In addition,
the Unallocated Expense of $1,530.00 represents auditor's fees which were charge-
able to the fund, but for which there Dress never an appropriation.

RE: Closing Project Costs and Appropriations on
Various Capital Projects Fund Improvements
The attached resolution provides for the closing of a number of projects within
the Capital Projects Fund. The following explanations are offered relating to
the four projects for which additional allocations are recommended:
Project No. 09 - Fuel Dispensing System
This project consisted of two phases, i.e. -
Phase 1 - remove, salvage and recondition the fuel tanks
from the new "Liquor Store No. 1" site (i.e.
the old 7 -11 store) at a costs of .................$12,675.00
Phase 2 - to reinstall these reconditioned tanks and to
purchase and install other equipment as
needed to provide a new fuel dispensing system
at the City Garage at a cost of ...................
Total $72,981.00
As previously established in Resolution No. 84 -171 (copy attached), the "Phase
1" costs were to be charged to the Liquor Store Fund. However, further
evaluation indicated that the primary benefit of this work was to the City
Garage (although the Liquor Store obviously also had a need to have the tanks
removed). Accordingly, Phase 1 costs were charged to the Capital Projects
Fund, without benefit of an appropriation to cover those costs.
Because $67,682 was appropriated to cover "Phase 2" costs, the net over—
expenditure on this project is $7369.00. It is recommended that this amount be
appropriated to allow closing the project with a "zero balance ".

December 1, 1988
Project No. 39 - Central Park Plaza
The $49,980 "over expenditure" consists of the following items:
Resolution No. 87 -73 (see attached copy of this
resolution and the report dated 4/2/87) approved
payment for additional costs relating to this
project, but inadvertently failed to provide an
additional appropriation of funds to cover those costs ........ $42,097.00
A contract was awarded to Collins Electric to install
• special electrical service connection to provide
• source of power for the showmobile ..........................$ 4,800.00
A number of small project enhancements (additional
landscaping, adding electrical receptacles, minor
changes to irrigation system, etc.) were made
without prior appropriation of funds, totalling ............... 3,083.00
Total $49,980.00
Project No. 53 - Palmer Lake Basin
The original 1982 Palmer Lake Basin Improvement Project was completed with a
remaining fund balance of $22,815.
In 1987, an additional project (i.e. construction of a trailway in East Palmer
Lake) was approved, placed under contract and completed at a total cost of
$48,748. (See attached copies of Resolution No. 87 -143 and Director of Public
Works report dated April 29, 1987). It is noted, however, that while the
resolution states that costs for this project ".....shall be financed from in
Division 53 of the Capital Projects Fund ", it does not allocate the funds for
this purpose. Accordingly, we recommend that the oversight be remedied by
approval of the appropriation.
Project No. 84 - Community Center Improvements (i.e. Installation of New Roof
and Interior Remodeling - Including Work in Constitution Hall_)
While contract costs were approximately $3500 below budget, total project costs
are over-expended in the net amount of $9633.34. This over - expenditure is
totally the result of increased architectural fees which resulted from the
following additional work items completed by the architect:
higher- than - expected project supervision costs which were necessitated by
the poor performance of the painting contractor (i.e. frequent starts and
stops; improper submittal of shop drawings, schedules, etc.; unsatisfactory
work which had to be redone and reinspected; conflicts with subcontractors
and suppliers; etc.). While this additional work by the architect

this resulted in increased ro'e
ct cost of approximately P J PP Y .............$4000
- architectural and interior design fees relating to Constitution Hall, i.e.:
development of design concepts; meetings with the Bicentennial Commission
members; development of detailed drawings, specifications and requests -for-
proposals; approval of shop drawings, etc. These fees totalled
approximately ............................... ..........................$

Summary
Adoption of the attached resolution will accomplish all of the above
supplemental appropriations and officially close 25 various projects.... most of
which were completed "within the budget ".

DATE: April 2, 1987
RE: Civic Center Plaza Improvement
Item No. 1 - Final Contract Payment to Shafer Contracting
Construction of the civic Center Plaza improvement was substantially completed
by mid - summer of 1985. Since that time progress in achieving final completion
has been extremely slow and frustrating. The two major items which prevented
resolution of this matter were:
Item 1 - There was a disagreement between the City, the General Contractor,
a subcontractor, a material supplier, and our project architect
regarding the amount of liner materials used for the pond and the
basis of payment for those materials (i.e. should payment be based
on the amount of materials used, including trimmings which were
cut off and thrown away, to conform to the free form shape of the
pond; or should payment be based only on the area required to be
covered - with no payment made for trimmings ?) Unfortunately, the
project specifications were not clear on this issue.
Item 2 - A number of plantings failed to survive the required guarantee
period. And, again, there was considerable disagreement between
the various parties involved. Verbal agreements were reached on
several occasions, only to have the landscape subcontractor fail
to perform under those agreements.
Submitted herewith is a resolution which would accept the work under this
contract and authorize final payment to be made subject to the following
conditions relating to the plantings issue:
The contractor agrees that he is required to replace those plantings which
have been determined to be his responsibility. While plantings have an
estimated value of $3 the contractor agrees to submit a certificate of
deposit in the amount of $5,000 (150 percent of the estimated value) to
assure that these plantings are replaced before June 1, 1987. (Note :'
Contract specifications provide that the warranty requires the contractor
to replace plantings only once._ these new plantings would
"- ivae ut uiEeiu arr -- �+
April 2, 1987
Page 2
carry no extended warranty.) If the contractor fails to replace the
plantings, the City can proceed to do so, using the contractor's $5,000
deposit.
The quantities for payment of the pond liner materials reflected in the proposed
final payment represent a negotiated compromise between all parties, wherein the
City would pay approximately 47 percent of the total amount under dispute (i.e.
$3,800 of the $8,050 under dispute) is the best that can be achieved by
negotiation, and that if this issue were taken to arbitration, our total costs
(including staff time, attorney costs, arbitration costs and the arbitrator's
award) would substantially exceed this cost.
It is noted that the proposed total contract payments of $450,012.81 exceed the
appropriated total of $427,427.35. This $22,585 difference (5%) includes the
$3,800 increase for pond liner costs which were under dispute (see above) as
well as other overruns - i.e. undisputed increases in pond liner costs resulting
from field changes in the size of the pond, overruns on piling costs and other
smaller overruns.
I recommend that the City Council adopt the attached resolution accepting the
project and approving issuance of final payment - subject to the conditions
noted.
i Item 2 - Planting_ Replacement
It is my opinion, and the opinion of our '3ndscape architect, that a number
of the plantings which have failed to st:ive are not the responsibility of
the contractor for several reasons, i.e.:
- Some of those plantings are located in soil conditions and /or high -
water areas which do not provide those plantings with the conditions
they need to survive.
- A few of those plantings are still "alive ", but do not have a good
prospect for long -term survival. It is recommended that these be
replaced now, at the same time that the other plantings are being
replaced.
- A few plantings did survive well past the original warranty period,
then died later.
So as to have these plantings replaced at the same time as those which the
contractor is responsible for, we have negotiated a proposed contract
directly with Shafer's landscaping subcontractor, Minnesota Valley
Landscaping. That proposed contract represents the following 3 items:
1. Replace all plantings which have been determined
to be the City's responsibility $ 1,725.00
April 2, 1981
Page 3
2. Re- landscape areas around selected trees, provide
drain tiling, etc, to provide site conditions
more conducive to survival of plantings $ 2,900.00
3. Provide 1 year guaranty for all new plantings
installed, both under this agreement and those
installed under Shafer's contract warranty $ 1,850.00
Total $ 6,475.00
Items 1 and 2 are necessary if we are to replace all original plantings
with new plantings.
Note Some changes in species of plantings and in the size of plantings
are included in this proposal. The two most noticeable changes will be:
- The replacement Linden trees adjacent to the pond will be 3 to 4
inches in diameter instead of the 6 to 7 inch diameter original
trees. This change is recommended because (1) the smaller trees
will have a much better change of survival; and (2) it is nearly
impossible to bring in equipment which would be large enough to
handle the big trees, without doing extensive damage to the plaza.
The dead Hackberry trees in the area between the two softball
fields will be replaced with Red Maple trees.
Item 3 - The One Year Guarantee is optional and somewhat high - priced.
However, I recommend that the City also accept this part of the proposal
since it should serve to give the contractor a special incentive to assure
that the replacement trees are planted with T.L.C. If this option is not
taken, all future replacement will be at the City's expense.
A resolution accepting this proposal is submitted for consideration by the City
Council.
Item No. 3 - Installation of Semi - Automatic Sprinkler System For Flower Beds
You will recall that the existing watering system provides a "hose bib" at
each of the 7 flower beds in the plaza. Experience has shown that use of
hoses with sprinklers for this is very labor - intensive. Accordingly, we
have obtained a proposal from Custom Turf Irrigation, Inc. to install a
semi - automatic (i.e. manual turn -on, automatic shut -off) watering.system
for each of the flower beds, at a total cost of $1,575.00. It is estimated
that this represents about a 2 year payback.

RE: Palmer Lake Trail Improvements
Attached hereto is a map which shows pedestrian and bicycle trailways in the
East Palmer Lake area. You will that there is no connection between the
existing trailways on 69th Avenue and the trailway system in the vicinity of
East Palmer Lake Park. That connection was considered several years ago but was
deleted from consideration at that time because of objections from property
owners along Oliver Avenue North, with the understanding that construction of
the segment might again be considered at some future date.
Since that time the number of people using the trailway systems in the Palmer
Lake are has increased substantially, numerous requests have been received from
residents for construction of this segment of the trailway system, the Park and
Recreation Board has recommended that it be considered for construction in 1987,
and the City of Brooklyn Park has initiated and nearly complete4construction of
its trailway system at the north end of Palmer Lake Park.
Accordingly, we have attached, for consideration by the City Council, another
map showing proposed construction. On this map we have shown the improvement of
several segments of the trailway system as follows:
Segment 1 includes the reconstruction of the existing trail in the area
just north of the 69th Avenue trail crossing. At the crossing the
grade would be raised to improve the crossing approach. The access to
the City's snow storage site would also have to be rebuilt in order to
make the grades for that facility be compatible with the trail
crossing grade. In addition, Segment 1 includes the construction of a
new bikeway trail approximately parallel to the existing trail on the
north side of 69th Avenue (Segment IA) so as to allow the pedestrian
traffic and bicycle traffic to be separated in this area.
Alternatively, the map also shows the possible bituminous paving of
the existing woodchip trail which lies approximately halfway between
69th Avenue and Palmer Lake (Segment 1B).
7ltC � �dNtiC �a�tC
April 29, 1987
Page 2
Segment 2 proposes the construction of the "missing link" of the trailway
system between the 69th Avenue trailway and East Palmer Lake Park,
with a connection to Oliver Avenue North at the south edge of East
Palmer Lake Park.
Segment 3 shows the construction of a trailway system across East Palmer
Lake Park to connect to the existing trailway system north of East
Palmer Lake Park. Segment 3A would be a new trailway constructed near
and approximately parallel to the sidewalk which exists along the west
side of Oliver Avenue North. Alternatively, Segment 3B shows the
possible bituminous paving of the existing woodchip trail which
follows along the westerly side of East Palmer Lake Park.
Construction Procedures and Cost Estimates
Nearly all of the proposed construction would occur in the areas of questionable
subgrade material. Accordingly, it is proposed to utilize geotextile fabrics 12
feet wide to support the proposed trailways. The construction procedure would
be to place the geotextile fabric directly over the existing vegetation which
has been flattened and left in place, placing approximately 12 inches of
granular subgrade materials, 4 inches of a Class 5 granular aggregate, and a
bituminous surface which is 2 inches thick and 10 feet wide. In areas where the
subgrade is acceptable the geotextile fabric will be deleted from the
construction.
Following are cost estimates for each of the individual segments which we have
suggested for your consideration:
Segment 1 69th Avenue North entrance modifications
Construction Cost $ 7,170.00
Engineering, Overhead
& Contingencies (25 %) 1.790.00
$ 9,960.00

The staff recommended alignment consists of Segments 1, 1A, 2 and 3A. It is
recommended to leave Segments 1B and 3B as woodchip nature trails.
Estimated total costs are as follows:
Segment 1 $ 9,960.00
Segment lA 12,500.00

Segment 1B 18,900.00
Segment 2 21,300.00
Segment 3A 8,000.00
$58,160.00
Additional Considerations
If the City Council wishes to consider proceeding with the proposed
improvements, it is recommended that a hearing on the matter be scheduled for
May 18th, and that staff be instructed to send individual notices to each of the
residents who live adjacent to Segment No. 2 notifying them of the hearing.
The accounting for this project should be completed in the Capital J p p Projects
Fund, Division 53 "Palmer Lake Basin ". This division presently has a balance of
$22,815.00. (This balance includes $5,908.63 of unexpended LCMR funds which are
available for construction of improvements in Palmer Lake Park if those
improvements are completed during 1987.) In addition, the City's LAWCON Grant
for Palmer Lake Park has an unencumbered balance of $5,399.04 which also is
available for improvements in Palmer Lake Park if those improvements are
completed during 1987. If the project is approved for construction, the
additional funding, as needed, should be appropriated from the City's Capital
Project Fund Balance.
Because of the proposed trailway system improvements lie within the Palmer Lake
Flood Plain area.
a ermit for construction _
P of those segments must be obtained
from the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission. If directed to do so by
the City Council City staff aff will prepare and submit that application to the
Watershed Commission.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached
This project has been a major undertaking with land acquisition happening in
1981 and construction starting in 1985. Budgets were made and then had to be
revised as the scope of the project became apparent. Construction has now been
completed, and a final cost determined. This cost is $16,016.75 over the last
appropriation. See attached memo for details.
The attached resolution recognizes the final cost, makes an appropriation for
the additional cost, and officialy closes the project.

RE: Centerbrook Golf Course - Closing Project Fund
All items of construction and initial development relating to the Centerbrook
Golf Course have now been completed. Accordingly, it is recommended that the
project be closed, with the following notations:
Note 1 - Project costs have totaled $1,786,408.75 vs. total appropriation of
$1,770,392.00 (i.e. an overrun of $16,016.75). The major reason for
this cost overrun is that legal costs to date relating to clearing
title to the land claimed by MNDOT have totaled $24,869.
Note 2 - If additional legal costs are incurred related to this project, it is
recommended that those costs be charged to Division 18 (Legal Counsel)
of the General Fund.
Note 3 - Accounting for enhancement projects for the golf course (including
parking lot lighting, additional landscaping, etc.) will be done as a
separate fund within the Capital Projects Fund, with separate
appropriations for such projects.
A resolution is provided for consideration by the City Council.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached _)
EXPLANATION
I have negotiated insurance renewals for the City's boiler and machinery insurance
and liquor liability insurance coverages for 1989.
The Hartford Steam Boiler and Insurance Company has offered to renew the boiler and
machinery coverage for an annual premium of $2,162, the same premium as 1988. This
is a specialty insurance coverage and Hartford is the leader in this field.
The Transcontinental Insurance Company has offered to renew our liquor liability
insurance at a rate of $0.81 per hundred dollars of sales. That compares with a rate
of $1.31 per hundred dollars of sales in 1988. The total estimated premium on
estimated 1989 sales of $2,200,000 for $1,000,000 coverage for each store is $17,820.
The total estimated premium for 1988 for the same amount of coverage was $28,600.
Our estimated premium will decrease by $10,780 for next year. Reasons for the
decrease are: (1) general decrease in liquor liability rates; (2) a 10% discount for
no claims during the year; (3) and additional 5% discount for no claims for three
years; and (4) an additional 10% discount for conducting special liquor liability
training for employees who sell liquor products.
STAFF RECOrMMENDATION
1. Award 1989 insurance contracts as follows:
The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection & Insurance Co. for boiler & machinery
coverage at an annual premium of $2,162.
The Transcontinental Insurance Company for $1,000,000 liquor liability insurance
for each City liquor store at a cost of 81 cents per thousand dollars of sales or
an estimated total annual premium of $17,820.
.2. Designate the Jerome Coughlin Agency as the agent of record for said insurance.
SPECIFIC ACTION REQUIRED BY THE CITY COUNCIL
Pass the attached resolution awarding the insurance contracts and designating an
agent of record.

An Ordinance Amending Chapter 19 of the City Ordinances by Declaring the Parking of
Certain Vehicles in Residential Zoning Districts a Public Nuisance
DEPT. , A VAL: '
Signature - title Director of Planning and Inspection
MANAGER'S REVIEW /RECOMMENDATION:
No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached
SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached X
On the City Council agenda for December 5, 1988 are two ordinances that are being
considered for second reading and adoption relating to the parking and storage of
certain vehicles in residential zones in the City. One of the ordinances amends
Chapter 19 and was given a first reading on November 7, 1988. As discussed that
• evening, the limitations proposed to be imposed on commercial vehicles parked in
residential zones was a length no greater than 20 feet, a height no greater than 8
feet and a gross vehicle weight no greater than 9,000 pounds. Councilmember Lhotka
requested the staff to review further the length of some extended vans and pickups to
see if they exceed the 20' limitation being proposed. It was -also noted at that
meeting that there should be language added that would exempt vehicles and trucks
being legally used as part of a nonconforming use on residentially zoned property
and also, vehicles and equipment legitimately used and stored at churches, schools,
etc., such as school buses.
The proposed ordinance was published on November 17, 1988 without making reference
to the length and height limitations and without the added exclusions relating to
nonconforming uses and churches, schools, etc. (copy attached).
We have had the opportunity to follow up on Councilmember Lhotka I s request and have
found that extended vans will meet the 20 limitation, however, extended pickup
trucks, which can be found with some regularity in residential zones, are as long as
21 feet. We would, therefore, recommend that the ordinance maximum length be
changed to 21 feet rather than 20 feet.
Attached is a newly drafted ordinance amendment which is offered for adoption by the
City Council and would be published if the Council were to adopt it. This ordinance
amendment includes the following changes which are highlighted.
1. Adds a maximum length of 21 feet and a maximum height of 8 feet as
® limitations on certain vehicles.
Summary Explanation
Page 2
2. Adds language which would extend the provisions of this ordinance
to include properties that are used for residential purposes, but
are in nonresidential zones, such as single - family homes on
Brooklyn Boulevard that are located in C1 zoning districts.
3. Adds a provision (Subdivision 12d) which would exempt vehicles
and equipment lawfully being used by churches, schools,
cemeteries, golf courses, parks, playgrounds and publicly owned
structures in their normal operations.
4. Adds a provision (Subdivision 12e) which would exempt legitimate
nonconforming uses located in residential zones that may have
otherwise prohibited vehicles and equipment.
Also before the City Council is an ordinance amending Chapter 35 regarding the
parking of commercial vehicles. This ordinance was first read on July 7, 1988,
published on July 21, 1988 and tabled by the City Council on August 8, 1988. This
ordinance amendment deletes allowing one commercial vehicle up to 25 feet in length
to be parked in a residential zoning district. This ordinance amendment should be
adopted concurrently with the change to Chapter 19.

TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Jim Lindsay, Chief of Police
DATE: December 1, 1988
SUBJECT: 1989 Liquor License Renewals
Attached is the list of on -sale intoxicating liquor and on -sale
wine licenses for renewal for 1989. The intoxicating liquor
licenses are broken down by their class of license. Also
attached is a list of the license holders with the percentage of
food sales reported for the previous twelve (12) months.
You will note that two establishments are missing from the
renewal. Yen Ching Restaurant has recently changed owners. We
are currently in the process of getting the necessary information
from them for renewal. The on -sale club license for the Duoos
Brothers American Legion is also missing from the list. This is
due to the fact that some of the paperwork necessary for renewal
has not yet been submitted by the club. We hope to have this
information submitted and verified in time to be placed on the
agenda for the last meeting in December. All the on -sale and
off -sale nonintoxicating malt liquor licenses will be on the
agenda for the last meeting in December also.

regarding unruly patrons or unwanted guests. None of the detox
situations involved the bar operation. The death investigation was

Earle Brown Bowl - 6440 James Circle
There were one hundred (100) calls for service at the Earle Brown Bowl.
One of the reported assaults involved the liquor operation. Two
bouncers and a manager attempted to eject and unruly patron from the bar
area.. The patron became even more belligerent when approached by Earle
Brown Bowl employees and a scuffle ensued. The patron was taken into
custody and charged with assault. The gambling violation that is noted
was a promotion that was run by the Earle Brown Bowl. An employee of
Diamond Lake Bowling Centers indicated that a recent promotion that the
Earle Brown Bowl and other bowling alleys had entered into was illegal
under Minnesota Gambling Statutes. An investigation into the matter
determined that although the odds for winning may be very high there was
nothing illegal about the promotion.
The drug offenses at the Earle Brown Bowl occurred in the parking lot
and were not related to the liquor operation. The subjects that were
sent to detox from the Earle Brown Bowl were found in the restaurant or
the bowling alley portion of the establishment.

occurred were not associated with the liquor operation. The Police
Department conducted a background investigation because of a change in
management at the Holiday Inn. The suicide attempt that was
investigated occurred during a New Year's Eve Party. One of the guests
at the party jumped out of an upper level window and landed on the

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached
As you will recall, the City Council and the annual planning process established certain priorities
relating to issues and trends and projects which fell into two general categories: top priorities and
high priorities. The following is a listing of the current status of the top and high priority listings
• which came out of the planning session.
TOP PRIORITIES
1. Earle Brown Farm Redevelopment Project
-We estimate that with the Council's recent approval of the Planning Commission site and
building plan recommendations, the EDA will receive the detailed plans and specifications for
final approval in December 1988 with bids to be in January 1989 and an estimated ground
breaking date in March 1989, with completion in January 1990.
2. Economic Development Study - Redevelopment Policy
-The RFP for the housing analysis has been approved by the City Council. We are currently
awaiting proposals from various vendors. Council approved the RFP at its October 24 meeting,
and we would anticipate that we will be back to the Council for approval of the final contract
with the vendor in January of 1989. Once this is completed, we will start working with the
Chamber of Commerce committee to finalize an RFP for the commercial /industrial section of this
analysis.
3. Redevelopment Plan /69th Avenue North and Brooklyn Boulevard
-The engineering consultant report (on the improvement of 69th from Brooklyn Boulevard to #252)
is in its final stages of completion and should be available to staff in December of 1988. The 4F
or federal land exchange problem with Palmer Lake Park should also be completed soon. A public
works department review should be complete in December, and the initial discussion of the 69th
Avenue North project should occur before the Council in February of 1989. Upon Council
approval of final design in the area of 69th and Brooklyn Boulevard, the staff will proceed in a
"redevelopment" study of the area.
4. Lynbrook Area Redevelopment Plan
-Staff work on this project has been put on hold pending completion of the Earle Brown Farm
and the engineering study of 69th Avenue North and Brooklyn Boulevard. Our best estimate of
when we will have staff time to start work on this area will be at the earliest August of 1989.
• 5. Planned Unit Development Ordinance
-We have the initial draft completed, and we will be presenting it to the Planning Commission for
their review in January or February of 1989 with Council consideration in February or March of
1989.
6. 1 -694 Improvement Project
-The highway department has informed us that the project is on or slightly ahead of schedule
and while there is a possibility for early completion, they still state that the completion date for
the project will be summer of 1990.
7. Communication Projects (Community Survey, City Newsletter Expansion, Promotion of
Volunteerism)
-The staff has met with Decision Resources Ltd., the survey consultant that many other suburbs
use. They are going to be submitting a proposal within the next two weeks. We hope to seek
additional proposals for this survey, but because they do most of the survey work in the metro
suburban area and have such a good reputation, we are leaning toward Decision Resources Ltd.
We hope to complete the survey and have the information available in the spring of 1989 prior to
your annual planning meeting.
-Staff is working on a newsletter expansion as was proposed in the 1989 budget. It appears
we are going to be scheduling six newsletters, up two from the previous schedule. We hope
to implement these newsletters early in 1989. However, the loss of some of our
administrative staff early in 1989 could delay this project.
-With regard to the promotional volunteerism, we are reviewing and doing the preliminary
work on alternative programs to promote and recognize volunteerism. One of these projects
is a possible "banquet" for community volunteers. We would expect to report to the Council
on this project in March of 1989.
0 8. Drug Education and Prevention Program
-At this point in time, the police department is in the process of selecting the officers to be
given the D.A.R.E. training in California. We hope to send two officers. We would expect these
officers to receive their education early in 1989. During this training period, we expect to be
coordinating with the four school districts regarding the program with the goal of implementing
the first D.A.R.E. classes in the fall term of 1989. The Mayor's drug task force will be assisting
us in working with the school districts and working with the Lions Club who have offered to
finance the training. We have also received, or are in the process of applying for, a possible
state grant to help us with financing some of the start-up costs.
HIGH PRIORITIES
1. Residential Treatment Facilities Analysis
-The property evaluation study by the consultant is approximately two - thirds complete, and the
ordinance study by Resolution, Inc. is just getting started. We would anticipate the complete
package (both studies) being brought to the Council sometime late winter or early spring.
2. Senior Drop -In Center
-The City Council approved a space analysis study by an architectural firm and that process is
about two- thirds complete. Part of the space study in the civic center area will include the
senior drop -in center. I would expect we would have a preliminary data and report for the
Council in February of 1989.
3. Battered Youth Program
-At this time because of our staff involvement in the D.A.R.E. drug program and other similar
programs, we would expect not to have much work completed on the initial development of the
program until August of 1989.
4. Pro - active Housing Maintenance - Rehab Program
-The City Council approved a housing inspector for the 1989 budget, and we are in the
process of interviewing for that position. Council has recently authorized to bring forth for
their considerations as first readings the nuisance ordinances that were considered earlier
this year. The rehab program criteria is currently being reviewed by the housing commission,
and we would expect a final report from the housing commission in November of 1989.
5. Recycling - Solid Waste Program
-The refuse hauling and recycling process is temporarily on hold because of the BFI lawsuit. We
will be developing and working up our programs so that we can get off to as quick a start as
possible after the lawsuit has been finalized. We are currently negotiating with three different
recycling service providers, and the HRG staff will be making a recommendation on the successful
proposal sometime in January or February of 1989.
6. Crime Prevention Fund Expansion
-The Crime Prevention Fund Board of Directors has been actively seeking to expand their
program. The police chief and I are both very pleased with that process. They are now actively
supporting, in addition to "buy" money for the investigators, our efforts in the crime prevention
and neighborhood watch program. They have also purchased a special type pager for our
investigators that does not make a lot of noise and "give them away."
7. Police Master Plan Study
-The Master Plan Study was completed in August of 1988 and presented to the Council as a part
of its budget review in September of 1988.
8. The Neighborhood Watch Program Expansion
S -With the help of the Crime Prevention Fund, we are aggressively seeking additional neighborhood
watch programs. Officer Grass will have, after the shoplifting season around Christmas, more time
to promote neighborhood watch programs. We will, however, have to take a careful look as a
part of the 1990 budget how aggressive and how much more time we want to invest in this
particular program. While it is a very valuable program, its a type of program that can eat up a
lot of police officer time.
9. Fire Service Master Plan Study
-We would expect that during 1989, the fire department will be able to develop a framework for
a plan as I have given the fire chief top priority on implementing the hazardous waste and
chemical storage requirements of the federal government and analyzing his inspection service
needs in light of these and other requirements.
10. Aging Population Service Needs
- Enclosed with this report is a booklet that was developed by the Metropolitan Council to
educate communities about the need for planning in this area. Kathy Flesher, of the Park and
Recreation staff, and myself spent considerable time in working with the Metropolitan Council on
this particular booklet. I believe it should be incorporated into our planning process as we
evaluate the housing study because I am sure housing related senior needs will make up a
significant portion of the concerns of this growing population group.
This listing represents the listing of top and priority issues you created as a part of the planning
process.
s
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
We request general discussion by the City Council. Special consideration in this discussion should be
given to any suggestions at improving our priority item reports and the timing of the community
survey with our annual planning sessions.
