Also present were City Manager Curt Boganey, Public Works Director /City Engineer Steve Lillehaug, Director of Business and Development Gary Eitel, Assistant City Manager/Director of Building and Community Standards Vickie Schleuning, Police Chief Kevin Benner, City Clerk Sharon Knutson, and Carla Wirth, TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc. and another police officer Others present: City Prosecutor Bill Clelland and Financial Consultant Bob Thistle. CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS Councilmember Kleven presented a request to make corrections to the Work Session minutes of January 10, 2011. Mayor Willson explained the types of minute corrections considered by the Council and advised the minutes are to reflect the essence of the meeting rather than a verbatim transcript. Councilmember Ryan confirmed his support to reconsider the Sterling Square revocation and indicated, as the record reads, he had not supported a 12 -month revocation but had voiced support for a 6 -month revocation. He indicated the Work Session minutes correctly reflect his comments. It was the majority consensus of the City Council to accept the following correction to the January 10, 2011 Work Session minutes. Paize 4 Councilmembers /Commissioners Lasman Kleven, and Ryan and Mayor/President Willson indicated they would support reconsideration subject to all requirements being met. Councilmembers /Commissioners Roche and Meve indicated they he would not support reconsideration. 01/24/11 -1- DRAFT City Manager Curt Boganey requested Item 6, Consent Agenda, be amended to remove rental properties 5548 Dupont Avenue N. and 6813 Humboldt Avenue N., Unit B201, to allow time for additional staff review. Mr. Boganey requested discussion on Item 10b, Hearing for Kelly McDole, 7219 Major Avenue North, Regarding Potentially Dangerous Dog Declaration, and reported Mr. McDole had telephoned indicating he may not be able to attend the meeting tonight due to a work conflict. It was indicated that it is at the Council's discretion whether to consider this item or continue to a future meeting. Mr. Boganey referenced the notation on the EDA agenda that it may adjourn to closed Executive Session to discuss the land sale; however, if that discussion is not necessary tonight it could occur at a future Executive Session. MISCELLANEOUS Councilmember Lasman asked whether the parade route would include Dupont Avenue. Public Works Director /City Engineer Steve Lillehaug reported the Event Chair contacted him to discuss this matter and indicated they will make it work to use Dupont Avenue. Councilmember Lasman asked whether Shingle Creek Parkway will be improved on the other side of the bridge. Mr. Lillehaug advised that Shingle Creek Parkway from Freeway Boulevard to the Public Works garage and the Shingle Creek bridge will be improved this year in conjunction with the Unity project. He noted the Unity project requires a Public Hearing because it will be assessed. Councilmember Lasman requested an explanation of the potential for serial meetings to result in an open meeting violation even if attended by fewer than a quorum. City Attorney Charlie LeFevere advised there have not been any cases where the court has found a violation of open meeting law due to serial meetings; however, a violation would occur should two members meet and agree to a certain vote and then hold additional serial meetings with other members to garner votes. The Council acknowledged that it is very cautious, whether on telephone calls, e-mail, or conversations with other Members, to not discuss City business or poll positions. Mr. LeFevere agreed it is best to err on the side of caution. Councilmember Roche referenced a recent newspaper article about a School District getting "good marks." In an effort to rebrand Brooklyn Center to attract young families, he encouraged the Council to consider methods to align and identify the City with Districts that are successfully passing referendums. Mayor Willson explained that in the past, Brooklyn Center had approached its legislators about expanding the Brooklyn Center District to the City's borders but District boundaries had never before been redrawn. However, now a south metro district is considering that action and if . 01/24/11 -2- DRAFT successful, it may have far reaching impacts. Mayor Willson stated he is not advocating one way • or the other but did agree it is difficult to create "community" with Brooklyn Center students who attend school in other municipalities. The majority consensus of the City Council was to direct staff to place this item and discussion of the School District retreat on a future Work Session agenda. Councilmember Ryan and Mayor Willson indicated they were favorably impressed with moderator Professor Roger Warner from St. Cloud during the School District 286 goal setting retreat and looked forward to receiving the report from that retreat. Councilmember Lasman noted a Council representative used to attend area School District meetings and report back on their activities as a way to "keep a finger on the pulse." She stated the Robinsdale School District notifies of its meeting and suggested the City ask to be included on the meeting roster of other Brooklyn Center School Districts. Mr. Boganey stated he participates in the Osseo School District strategic planning process that started four years ago and will inform the Council of that process. DISCUSSION OF WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEMS AS TIME PERMITS MINNESOTA STATUTE 273.128 4d RENTAL PROPERTIES — ANNUAL REPORT Mr. Boganey introduced the annual report with respect to apartments that fall under the 4d classification. It was noted that apartments that exceed 25% police calls for service average have to participate in certain levels of crime prevention training in order to maintain that reduced tax status. The Council discussed the Crime Free Multi- Housing (CFMH) program, noting that as of today only Unity Place is required to meet the mandates at this time. Garden City does not exceed the 25% police calls for service criteria and Gateway Commons is no longer a 4d property. Mr. Boganey explained this program promotes more affordable housing and Representative Hilstrom had introduced legislation that put the tax status in jeopardy for properties where police calls exceeded the average by more than 25 %. Mayor Willson commented that it is great the City's Representatives were able to work on this bill to create better living conditions in Brooklyn Center. HOUSING IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION DRAFT PROCEDURES Mr. Boganey introduced the item, noting that the Council had asked staff to draft procedures to create housing improvement areas that provided the funding to make improvements to common townhome areas. 01/24/11 -3- DRAFT Bob Thistle, Financial Consultant, presented the policy outline and advised of other cities that had already implemented this program. The program objective is long -term maintenance and stabilization within the community, to eliminate code violations, reduce the number of calls to townhouses, maintain and increase home ownership instead of absentee rentals, reduce service costs for the City, and to maintain the tax value and rate. Mr. Thistle advised that the State law guidelines are very specific that the townhome show it had tried and failed to get private financing and demonstrate that through at least two letters of rejection from financial institutions. ADJOURN STUDY SESSION TO INFORMAL OPEN FORUM WITH CITY COUNCIL Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Roche seconded to close the Study Session at 6:45 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. RECONVENE STUDY SESSION Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Roche seconded to reconvene the Study Session at 6:46 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. HOUSING IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION DRAFT PROCEDURES — CONTINUED Mr. Thistle advised that to p rovide a comfort level that there is support, the petition would • require at least 56% of the association home owners, which is higher than the statutory requirement. The financing will be the minimum length needed and not to exceed 15 years. The life expectancy of the project must be at least 120% of the term of the bonds and a guarantee must be tied back to the property in assets, special assessments, or some vehicle to secure the City in case payments are stopped so the City can recoup its costs. Those guarantees must be at least equal to the debt service. Mr. Thistle stated the documents would be reviewed by the City's bond counsel to assure due diligence, bids by qualified engineers, and a quality project is completed. All of the costs incurred by the City on behalf of the project will be reimbursed so the City is not subsidizing the project. Councilmember Kleven asked if the City could increase association fees if the association stops repaying the project. Mr. Thistle stated fees can be increased or an internal special assessment placed on each property in the association. Councilmember Kleven noted if the association fee is increased too high, renters may vacate the premises, making it more difficult to repay. Mr. Thistle explained the analysis conducted by the City's financial advisors will address whether the project is feasible and the improvements made are realistic. The Council discussed the need for a comprehensive inspection to assure there are no additional structural defects. Mr. Thistle stated the City will want to assure the financial analysis is done by a consultant who works for the City and also considers the structure and mechanicals. • 01/24/11 -4- DRAFT Councilmember Roche stated he is fundamentally in favor of this program since it will stabilize . residential neighborhoods and promote home ownership. Mr. Boganey noted the policy requires the association to pay all third parry costs by the City for this program, including the financial analysis or consultant to inspect the building. Councilmember Lasman commented on the significance that a waiver of veto rights would be required. It was the majority consensus of the City Council to direct staff to schedule this topic at a regular meeting for action. ADJOURNMENT Councilmember Roche moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the Study Session at 6:58 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 01/24/11 -5- DRAFT I MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA REGULAR SESSION JANUARY 24, 2011 CITY HALL — COUNCIL CHAMBERS 1.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO.3 City Manager Curt Boganey introduced the item, discussed the history, and stated the purpose of the proposed amendment to remove 13 parcels identified as the Brookdale parcels. Director of Business and Development Gary Eitel reported that a draft amendment to Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District No. 3 has been mailed to Hennepin County and the School Districts as required by the TIF regulations. He noted a resolution has been drafted for the Council's consideration following the Public Hearing. Jenny Wolfe, Senior Project Manager with Springsted Incorporated, the City's financial consultant, presented the current status of TIF No. 3, impacts of the TIF amendment, and combined effect with the TIF No. 2 decertification. Ms. Wolfe also presented hypothetical tax impacts, noting the amendment and decertification would reduce the total tax bill for properties 01/24/11 -4- DRAFT located in either School District. The estimated increase in annual tax increment is $695,379 based on pay 2010 tax rates. However, if the amendment is not approved, the City will need to find an alternate source to fund an approximate $580,000 annual shortfall beginning in pay 2012. Mr. Boganey clarified that debt payments are now being paid from fund surplus and the TIF amendment would prevent a shortfall. He noted the estimates are conservative and do not take into account other increases in development, such as the FBI building. In addition, the accumulation of surplus gives the City the ability a off the bonds sooner and then decertify � g tY tY to pay the district. The Council acknowledged that this situation resulted from the declining position of Brookdale Mall and the action under consideration will create a revenue stream to service the debt. The Council thanked City staff and Ms. Wolfe for their work with this complex financial issue. Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Roche seconded to open the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. No one appeared to speak. I Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Roche seconded to close the Public Hearing. i Motion passed unanimously. 1.

MAYORAL APPOINTMENT OF MEMBER TO SERVE ON NORTHWEST HENNEPIN HUMAN SERVICES COUNCIL ADVISORY COMMISSION Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to ratify the Mayor's appointment of LeRoyce Walker, 7237 Oliver Avenue North, to the Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council Advisory Commission with a term to expire December 31, 2012. LeRoyce Walker, 7237 Oliver Avenue N., introduced herself and advised of her education and years of work with disenfranchised families.

Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to table the hearing for Kelly McDole, 7219 Major Avenue North, regarding potentially dangerous dog declaration to the February 14, 2011, meeting. Motion passed unanimously. 10c. HEARING FOR HUMBOLDT PROPERTIES, LLC, VALLEY INVESTMENTS AND MANAGEMENT, INC. REGARDING RENTAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT HUMBOLDT SQUARE APARTMENTS (6737 AND 6743 HUMBOLDT AVENUE NORTH) City Prosecuting Attorney William Clelland and City Clerk Sharon Knutson advised of the unpaid delinquent taxes and utilities for property known as Humboldt Square Apartments and the facts under consideration. Mr. Clelland advised that the ordinance requires land owners to be current on property taxes and all obligations due to the City during the term of the rental license and an application of relief had not been made. Ms. Knutson reviewed the number of days the taxes and utilities had remained unpaid and noted this is the first time this property was advised taxes were not current. She reported that subsequently taxes and utilities have been paid. Mayor Willson asked if the property owner had indicated the reason for the delinquency. Ms. Knutson stated this property owner had not contacted the City to explain the delinquency. The rental license had been approved on August 23, 2009, and since that time the City has had no contact with the property owner or been alerted of any action at the property. It was noted the information documenting the delinquency will now create a "history trail" for this property. Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to open the Public Hearing. 01/24/11 -6- DRAFT Motion passed unanimously. No one appeared to speak. Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. The Council acknowledged there is a clear history of ordinance violations with this rental property and supported strict adherence to the ordinance. Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Roche seconded to direct staff to prepare a resolution with findings of fact to revoke the rental license for a period of six months for property located at Humboldt Square Apartments (6737 and 6743 Humboldt Avenue North) for consideration at the February 14, 2011, Council meeting. City Attorney Charlie LeFevere explained the primary difference between a revocation and suspension. If the license is suspended, it can be reinstated once conditions are met. However with a revocation the applicant is required to make application for new license and pay the application fee. Revocations are limited by ordinance to be no more than one year but can be less. Suspensions are provided for a period of up to 90 days. Councilmember Ryan indicated he would have appreciated hearing from the property owner to learn if there were any mitigating circumstances. He referenced past revocation action of one year against a very large apartment complex based on 700 building code violations over two years and an extraordinary number of police calls. Councilmember Ryan stated support, in this case, for a revocation of six months, which would not be overly punitive while at the same time support the City's ordinances to assure they are observed. Councilmember Roche noted such delinquencies result in added costs to the City's taxpayers and there had been no outreach by this property owner to the community. He stated support for the motion, noting utilities have been delinquent for almost a year and property taxes were delinquent three months. Mayor Willson pointed out the notice of proposed action was clearly worded and stated his support for a six -month revocation. Mr. Clelland verified that the licensee did receive notice of this hearing and the facts presented were un- refuted. Councilmember Lasman referenced Code Section 12.901.4, noting it provides for suspension or revocation and stated her support for a revocation against the entire premises. The Council noted the delinquency impacted the entire complex, not certain units. Mr. LeFevere concurred there was no reason to divide the property. Motion passed unanimously. 01/24/11 ` -7- DRAFT 10d. HEARING FOR HYDER JAWEED, HOLDINGFORD INVESTMENTS, LLC, REGARDING RENTAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT BROOKHAVEN APARTMENTS (3907, 3909, AND 3911 65 AVENUE NORTH) Mr. Clelland and Ms. Knutson advised of the unpaid delinquent taxes and utilities for property known as Brookhaven Apartments and the facts under consideration. Mr. Clelland advised that the ordinance requires land owners to be current on property taxes and all obligations due to the City during the term of the rental license. He reported on certified notice sent to the property owner, that the amounts remain unpaid, and the property is under receivership so notice was sent to the receiver as well. Mr. Clelland indicated there had been no notice of lawsuit or application requesting an exception. Ms. Knutson advised of amounts owing, length of delinquency, and lengthy history of unpaid property taxes and utilities. Councilmember Roche moved and Councilmember Lasman seconded to open the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. The Council agreed to receive testimony from Ms. Retterath. • Heidi Retterath, 5402 Parkdale Drive #200, St. Louis Park, representing Steven Scott Management, stated they are the court appointed receiver at the request of CenterPoint Energy and the property is under foreclosure proceedings. She answered questions of the Council regarding the term of the redemption period, which will be six months, and status of occupancy. Ms. Retterath stated they are working hard to turn the property around and will pay utility bills when possible but currently there is not enough revenue to make mortgage payments. Councilmember Roche moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. The Council requested a legal opinion on the information just provided about the receivership status and foreclosure circumstances. Mr. LeFevere advised that it makes no difference in the Council's decision making process because the licensee still owns the property at this point. Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Roche seconded to direct staff to prepare a resolution with findings of fact to revoke the rental license for a period of one year for property located at Brookhaven Apartments (3907, 3909, and 3911 65 Avenue North) for consideration at the February 14, 2011, Council meeting. Motion passed unanimously. 11.

Also present were City Manager Curt Boganey, Director of Business and Development Gary Eitel, Assistant City Manager/Director of Building & Community Standards Vickie Schleuning, Police Chief Kevin Benner, City Attorney Charlie LeFevere, and Carla Wirth, Timesaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc. STERLING SQUARE RENTAL LICENSE REVOCATION UPDATE City Manager Curt Boganey introduced the item, discussed the history, and requested Council • direction. Mayor/President Willson stated the property owner of Sterling Square had been adamant about revocation reconsideration; however, there is nothing in staff's report that would incline him to reconsider revocation at this point. Councilmember /Commissioner Ryan stated he had found a full one -year revocation to be excessive in this case and would support reconsideration of the revocation. He suggested revocation guidelines be established based on the term taxes and utilities remain in delinquency to assure consistency and avoid arbitrary action. The majority consensus of the City Council was to not reconsider revocation of the Sterling Square Apartments rental license JOINT MEETING WITH COMMISSIONS Following discussion, the consensus of the City Council was to direct staff to schedule a joint meeting with Commissions on April 6, 2011, 6 -8 p.m., and to follow the same agenda format. SHINGLE CREEK CROSSING 01/24/11 4- DRAFT Mr. Boganey introduced the item, discussed the history, and explained the three considerations before the Council related to Shingle Creek Crossing to receive a project update by Mr. Gatlin, an overview on the potential for financial assistance by Ms. Wolfe, and update by staff regarding its negotiation with the developer. Staff would then request Council provide comment and direction. Frank Gatlin, Gatlin Development, thanked the Council for the opportunity to present their plans and for the great work of City staff. He described his work on this project for the past two years to acquire the property and reach agreement with Walmart to provide the "bones and structure" for a great redevelopment. Mr. Gatlin reviewed his development experience, past projects, and described his vision for Shingle Creek Crossing to be a great success, stating it will be his "crown jewel." Mr. Gatlin displayed exterior site elevations, noting the site has great location with visibility from all directions. He reviewed his investigation to uncover every possible problem that could come forward with this project and intent to make Shingle Creek a focal point and desirable pedestrian- friendly area with restaurants alongside. Mr. Gatlin then addressed financing, noting this is the first time in 15 years he has requested assistance, which he does not like to do, and has worked with staff to develop the minimum request that will work. It was clarified that Walmart is not requesting any assistance. He advised that Gatlin Development is one of the most successful developers in the country and never failed in a development. However, he will have difficulty attracting desired tenants until the project moves forward and Brookdale Mall is demolished. Mr. Gatlin stated construction will start as soon as possible, once approved, noting this will be the first project out of ground in the last three years. He assured the Council this will be a beautiful development, one the City can be proud of, and a catalyst for rebranding the City and spurring on development of neighboring parcels. Jenny Wolfe, Senior Project Manager with Springsted Incorporated, the City's financial consultant, presented the Shingle Creek Crossing financing gap analysis that was conducted in reaction to a request for $10 million in TIF assistance. It was noted the project's cost was over $100 million and the developer would cover $51 million. Ms. Wolfe presented the projected rate of return and conclusion the proposed project would need some level of public assistance to proceed given the speculative nature of the retail and marginal return without assistance. The proposed TIF district supports $7 million of assistance, resulting in a return of 11.95 %, which exceeds 11.5% as a reasonable minimum return. Mr. Boganey noted the projections are based on assumptions that everything will fall into place within three years; however, that rarely occurs. The assistance is intended to share some of the risk that everything may not be built out as planned in three years or to the level assumed and anticipated. It will be used to share some upfront costs for items (daylighting of Shingle Creek, landscape, streetscape, creating a Town Square concept, etc.) the City wants to assure are completed at the beginning of the project, not later when the project starts to make revenue. Director of Business and Development Gary Eitel presented the three components making up the framework for a financial assistance package as follows: 1. EDA provides $3.3 million for public purpose costs to ensure the timely redevelopment of the site and completion of the 01/24/11 -2- DRAFT features prioritized by the EDA; 2. A collateralized $1 million forgivable loan having a term of five years with an interest rate of 6% (City's CIP assessment rate). The loan amount will be • available upon the execution of the Tax Increment Development Agreement which will limit the use of these funds to eligible public purpose costs and acquisitions, exclusive of Walmart related costs; and, 3. The EDA's lot will be included in the development of Shingle Creek Crossing PUD using the formula detailed in staff s report. Mr. Eitel listed the benefits the City would receive for an investment of $4.5 million that would create new development energy as far as the 57 and Logan EDA site. He explained the details of this framework will be negotiated in a development agreement through the City Attorney and conclude with the creation of a new TIF district and implementation. Mayor/President Willson stated that he is not shy about using TIF but believed the City needed to be prudent to assure increment is available to pay back TIF. He welcomed the opportunity to work with Mr. Gatlin to bring this project into Brooklyn Center. Mayor/President Willson stated he supports proceeding with the framework as outlined by Mr. Eitel and getting into the detail of the development agreement. Mr. Boganey stated if the Council reaches consensus regarding the general framework, staff will develop a specific development agreement that the Council/EDA will consider at a future meeting. Councilmember /Commissioner Roche noted that Brookdale Mall is the second oldest enclosed mall in the country. He stated that Walmart is going under a radical rebranding effort, as is Brooklyn Center and Shingle Creek Crossing will help in that effort. He indicated he supported the terms of the framework and raised several design elements he would like considered including the daylighting of Shingle Creek and iconic building lighting to attract customers. He also suggested that the 12 stall parking area by Sears be reconfigured. Mr. Gatlin assured the Council they will work diligently with City staff to create the best design possible during the permitting, planning, and approval process that gives the Council the assurances they are looking. He asked the Council to keep in mind that Walmart is only 20% of this development so there will be many new shops. Mr. Gatlin stated he owns the Macy's building and described the potential ownership arrangements with the other buildings that would allow flexibility to attract desirable tenants. He presented an option that will be considered to use the building adjacent to Sears to create an interior climate- controlled corridor, a mall component. Councilmember /Commissioner Lasman asked staff to consider measurable performance benchmarks for TIF. Mr. Boganey stated those details will be spelled out in the assistance agreement. He noted the Council has a lot of influence through the PUD process to address details to be included. Councilmember /Commissioner Lasman stated it sounds like Mr. Gatlin is anxious to get started and she would like to see a standards and timeline that identifies dates when things will happen. 01/24/11 -3- DRAFT Mr. Gatlin gave credit to City staff for developing this TIF concept and $1 million incentivized • forgivable loan. He indicated he supports this plan, which is less than one -half the $10 million he had requested for this $100 million project. Mr. Gatlin estimated that Shingle Creek Crossing will result in producing millions more dollars for the City and this plan gives him incentive to complete the project quickly to meet the thresholds in Phase 1 to receive assistance. Councilmember /Commissioner Ryan stated he appreciates hearing that Walmart will "carry its own freight" because otherwise the community would question giving assistance to the richest company in the world. He stated he appreciates how challenging the market is today and supports the framework that will provide needed capital up front. Councilmember /Commissioner Ryan stated he looks forward to the process moving forward and appreciates the comments from a third party to evaluate the financials. Mr. Gatlin commented on the effort of Walmart to change its image and advised of its generosity in making donations to the community. He stated he is appreciative of the Council's support and will perform if the project is approved. Mr. Gatlin commented on the perfect timing for this project since they intend to open the first store in 2012, the 50 year anniversary of the Brookdale Mall opening. He stated they plan to schedule a ground breaking in May complete with a wrecking ball and big ceremony. He commented on the generosity of Walmart to become involved in the community and stated they will be looking for places to make donations. • Councilmember /Commissioner Lasman suggested they consider the Centennial Park bandshell that the Centennial Committee is working to erect. Councilmember /Commissioner Kleven indicated she is excited about this project and appreciates the work of staff and Mr. Gatlin. The consensus of the City Council was to move forward with the framework as presented.

Background: On May 10, 2010, the City Council awarded a contract to Nodland Construction Company, Inc., of Alexandria, Minnesota for the Twin Lake Area Neighborhood Street and Utility Improvements Project. The project began in June 2010, and is anticipated to be completed by the end of June 2011. The following represents originally unanticipated items and are included in Change Order No. 2 that is recommended to amend the Contract to complete the project. 1. Furnish and Install 16" Butterfly Valve (night work) — During the construction stage of the project, a 16" butterfly valve was determined to be needed for water system isolation purposes in the area along Brooklyn Boulevard between the commercial and residential areas. In an effort to minimize the water shut -down period for the commercial area on the east side of Brooklyn Boulevard, the valve was installed overnight, requiring portable lighting equipment that was not originally planned. The close proximity of work adjacent to traffic on Brooklyn Boulevard warranted additional safety elements including 50 feet of Jersey Barrier. Although there is a pay item for a 16" Butterfly Valve in the contract, this pay item did not include the additional items mentioned above. The contractor performed this additional work on a time and material basis. Additional Cost: $1,650.00 Total Change Order No. 2: $1,650.00 Budget Issues: The original contract amount was $3,433,246.65. Change Order No. 1 ($7,275.00) and Change Order No. 2 ($1,650.00) revise the contract amount to '$3,442,171.65.

Background: At the January 24, 2011 Work Session, the City Council received the following updates and information on the proposed redevelopment of the Brookdale properties: • Developer Frank Gatlin re- introduced the development concept and vision of Shingle Creek Crossings to re- establish the commercial presence of this property through the development of a Town Center development that would include a major anchor, two or three junior retail boxes, the renovation of a portion of the mall, several smaller retail buildings and restaurants, and streetscaping that creates the Town Center look. The proposal includes day - lighting of Shingle Creek and is expected to be a catalyst for the rebranding of the city and spurring on development of neighboring properties. He indicated that costs associated with the demolition, soil corrections, environmental issues, and the current market conditions required him to seek economic assistance for the portions of the project that were not related to the proposed major anchor, Walmart. • The city's financial consultant provided a presentation on their financial gap analysis and conclusion that the proposed project would need some level of public assistance to proceed given the speculative nature of the retail market and marginal return without assistance. • City staff presented the three concepts making up a potential financial assistance project: Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe comnuinity t /iat enhances the qualitt of life and preserves the public trust COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM 1. $3.3 million for public purpose costs, exclusive of Walmart related costs, • to ensure the timely redevelopment of the site and completion of the features prioritized by the EDA. 2. A collateralized $1 million forgivable loan having a term of five years with an interest rate of six percent to provide an incentive for the full project completion in a reasonable time period. The loan amount would be available upon the execution of the Tax Increment Development Agreement and would limit the use of these funds to eligible public purpose costs and acquisitions, exclusive of Walmart related costs. 3. The conditions for sale of the EDA's 1.06 acre lot (former Ground Round Restaurant site) and inclusion to the Shingle Creek Crossing PUD. The consensus of the City Council was to move forward with the framework as presented. Attached for your reference is a copy of the minutes of this Work Session item and a letter to the developer which outlines the framework of the proposed economic assistance package. Proposed Tax Increment Finance District No. 5 (A Renewal and Renovation District). The proposed tax increment financing plan would establish a new Renewal and Renovation District for the eight Brookdale parcels included in the demolition and redevelopment plans for the Shingle Creek Crossing project. They include the following properties: . -The Mall and in -line tenants parcel. -The Mervyn's parcel. - The Penney's and Penney's auto parcels. - The Macy's parcel and eastern parking lot. -The parcel for the vacant lot (previously DQ Chill and Grill). -A small outlot for the Northway entrance. (Note: The Brookdale properties of Applebee's and Kohl's are not included in this district.) The above properties were inspected by a consultant retained by the City and determined to meet the qualifications for the creation of this 16 year tax increment district. The financing plan includes a budget that will finance the proposed economic assistance package with bond repayments from the tax increment received from the initial development of Walmart and the mall renovation and repayment of the TIF 2 inter -fund loan from the balance of the planned commercial development. The budget also includes the opportunity for the EDA to use increment from the balance of the development for public improvements within the district (potential of $2.4 million) and for EDA projects outside of the district (potential of $1.2 million). Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe community that enhances the quality of life and preserves the public trust COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM This opportunity is an option available to the EDA during the first five years of the district. • Should the EDA choose not to pursue it, the total increment would be applied to the repayment of the economic assistance package and administrative fees and result in the early retirement of the debt and decertification of the district. Attached is a copy of a draft plan, proposed schedule and resolution setting a public hearing for March 28, 2011. This resolution also authorizes distribution of the plan to the school districts and Hennepin County. A Work Session will be scheduled for the February 28, 2011, City Council meeting, at which time the City's financial consultant will provide a presentation of the plan and answer Council questions. Budget Issues: The City and all tax jurisdictions will retain the 2011 base value of the eight Brookdale parcels during the life of the district and will receive the full property valuations upon the decertification of the District. This redevelopment project has the potential to promote significant private investment into the City's Central Commerce Area and expand the city commercial tax base. The financial effects associated with the creation of a new tax increment district are included on Exhibits IV and V of the Financing Plan and will be presented in detail at the February 28 • Council Work Session. Council Goals: Strategic: 2. We will aggressively proceed with implementation of City's redevelopment plans Ongoing 5.

For purposes of determining whether a building is structurally substandard, whether parcels are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures, or whether noncontiguous areas qualify, the provisions of subdivision 10, paragraphs (b) through (f), apply. For districts consisting of two more noncontiguous areas, each area must individually qualify under the provisions listed above, as well as the entire area must also qualify as a whole. yy� The TIF District qualifies as a renewal and renovation district in tha it"' beets all of t e,,criteria listed in (1) and (2) above.

A parcel is deemed "occupied" if at least 15% of the area of the parcel contains buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots; or other similar structures. At least 90 percent of the tax increment from a renewal and renovation district must be used to finance the cost of correcting conditions that allow designation as a redevelopment district.

The full build out of the site is expected to take three years, as follows: • Walmart and 40,923 s.f. of retail and one junior box of 57,671 s.f. expected to be 100% complete in 2012 and assessed January 2, 2013 for taxes payable 2014; • The renovated 130,355 s.f. in the mall, 12,705 s.f. of retail, two junior boxes of 64,653 s.f. and 24,598 s.f. of restaurant expected to be 100% complete in 2013 and assessed January 2, 2014 for taxes payable 2015; and ■ Remaining two restaurant pads of 17,251 s.f. expected to be 100% complete in 2014 and assessed January 2, 2015 for taxes payable 2016; Spring ed Page Economic Development Authority in and for the City of Brooklyn Center Section III.F Findings and Need for Tax Increment Financing In establishing the TIF District, the City makes the following findings: (1) The TIF District qualifies as a renewal and renovation district; See Section I ILA of this document for the reasons and facts supporting this finding. (2) The proposed development, in the opinion of the City, would not r sonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably fore I future, and the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expec occur without the use of tax increment would be less than the increase in market valu ated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of th increments for the maximum duration of the TIF District permitted by the TIF Plan, �g Factual Basis: i Proposed development not expected to occur.- The proposed development consists of approximately . 500,000 sf. of retail uses constrracted by the Developer, Gatlin Development Company. The Developer has 7dicated they will begin construction of the proposed project only if the Authority can provide public assrs ante The Developer has demonstrated that qurrent _e,., ncp condit� ale it unfeasible for the project to proceed.

The City believes the rernue tmertt this k to will provide ecr nomic growth and redevelopment to the fullest potential, whrch woudi fbe realized 'But for the use of tax increment financing. e � ` To summarize the for pity's findings regarding altemative market value, in accordance with ,Nk 141inesota Statutes, S on 469.1ubd. 3(d), the City makes the following determinations: The City's estimate of the amount by which the market value of the site will increase without h arse of tax increment financing is anywhere from $0 to some modest amount based on small scale deelopment that could be possible without assistance; any estimated values would be too speculative to ascertain. b. If the proposed development to be assisted with tax increment occurs in the District, the total increase in market value would be approximately $49,158,660 (See Exhibit IV and VII). C. The present value of tax increments from the District for the maximum duration of the district permitted by the TIF Plan is estimated to be $7,533,433 (See Exhibit VII). d. Even if some development other than the proposed development were to occur, the Council finds that no alternative would occur that would produce a market value increase greater than $41,625,227 (the amount in clause b less the amount in clause c) without tax increment assistance. S pringsted Page Economic Development Authority in and for the City of Brooklyn Center (3) The TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a • whole, for redevelopment of the TIF District area by private enterprise. Factual basis: The anticipated redevelopment projected by the Developer includes a mix of retail uses and substantial site improvements consistent with the City's design goals. (4) The TIF Plan conforms to general plans for development of the City as a whole. Factual basis: The City Planning Commission has determined that the development proposed in the TIF Plan conforms to the City comprehensive plan.

The proposed district is bordered on the north by County Road 10 to the north, Highway 100 to the east and south, and Xerxes Avenue N to the west. The purpose of our work was to independently ascertain whether the qualification tests for tax increment eligibility, as required under Minnesota tute, could be met. The findings and conclusions drawn herein are solely for the purpose increment eligibility and are not intended to be used outside the scope of this assessment. z .•, Scope of Work The proposed district consists of 8 parcels comprised of the following types improvements: 4 commercial structures on 5 parcels, and 4 parcels with, paling improvements. Evaluations Interior inspections were completed for all 4 buildings An terior inspection was also completed for all buildings. Ak Findings • Coverage Test — In the pro District,"a11 of the aicels "e coverage test with a 88.5% area coverage. This exceeds th y erage requirement. Condition of Buildin st — 25 erCent of the buildings — 1 of the 4 buildings were found to be "structurally substanrd" and 1 of remain u , t buildings were found to require "substantial renovation or clearance "when cot t &ring code de encies and other deficiencies of sufficient total significance to ,justify sub" e ti'al ren ©��� �o� �learan (see definition of "structurally substandard" and "substantial.

STERLING SQUARE RENTAL LICENSE REVOCATION UPDATE City Manager Curt Boganey introduced the item, discussed the history, and requested Council • direction. Mayor/President Willson stated the property owner of Sterling Square had been adamant about revocation reconsideration; however, there is nothing in staff's report that would incline him to reconsider revocation at this point. Councilmember /Commissioner Ryan stated he had found a full one -year revocation to be excessive in this case and would support reconsideration of the revocation. He suggested revocation guidelines be established based on the term taxes and utilities remain in delinquency to assure consistency and avoid arbitrary action. The majority consensus of the City Council was to not reconsider revocation of the Sterling Square Apartments rental license JOINT MEETING WITH COMMISSIONS Following discussion, the consensus of the City Council was to direct staff to schedule a joint meeting with Commissions on April 6, 2011, 6-8 p.m., and t o follow the same agenda format. SHINGLE CREEK CROSSING • 01/24/11 -1- DRAFT • Mr. Boganey introduced the item, discussed the history, and explained the three considerations before the Council related to Shingle Creek Crossing to receive a project update by Mr. Gatlin, an overview on the potential for financial assistance by Ms. Wolfe, and update by staff regarding its negotiation with the developer. Staff would then request Council provide comment and direction. Frank Gatlin, Gatlin Development, thanked the Council for the opportunity to present their plans and for the great work of City staff. He described his work on this project for the past two years to acquire the property and reach agreement with Walmart to provide the "bones and structure" for a great redevelopment. Mr. Gatlin reviewed his development experience, past projects, and described his vision for Shingle Creek Crossing to be a great success, stating it will be his "crown jewel." Mr. Gatlin displayed exterior site elevations, noting the site has great location with visibility from all directions. He reviewed his investigation to uncover every possible problem that could come forward with this project and intent to make Shingle Creek a focal point and desirable pedestrian- friendly area with restaurants alongside. Mr. Gatlin then addressed financing, noting this is the first time in 15 years he has requested assistance, which he does not like to do, and has worked with staff to develop the minimum request that will work. It was clarified that Walmart is not requesting any assistance. He advised that Gatlin Development is one of the most successful developers in the country and never failed in a development. However, he will have difficulty attracting desired tenants until the project moves forward and Brookdale Mall is demolished. Mr. Gatlin stated construction will start as soon as possible, once approved, noting this will be the first project out of ground in the last three years. He assured the Council this will be a beautiful development, one the City can be proud of, and a catalyst for rebranding the City and spurring on development of neighboring parcels. Jenny Wolfe, Senior Project Manager with Springsted Incorporated, the City's financial consultant, presented the Shingle Creek Crossing financing gap analysis that was conducted in reaction to a request for $10 million in TIF assistance. It was noted the project's cost was over $100,million and the developer would cover $51 million. Ms. Wolfe presented the projected rate of return and conclusion the proposed project would need some level of public assistance to proceed given the speculative nature of the retail and marginal return without assistance. The proposed TIF district supports $7 million of assistance, resulting in a return of 11.95 %, which exceeds 11.5% as a reasonable minimum return. Mr. Boganey noted the projections are based on assumptions that everything will fall into place within three years; however, that rarely occurs. The assistance is intended to share some of the risk that everything may not be built out as planned in three years or to the level assumed and anticipated. It will be used to share some upfront costs for items (daylighting of Shingle Creek, landscape, streetscape, creating a Town Square concept, etc.) the City wants to assure are completed at the beginning of the project, not later when the project starts to make revenue. Director of Business and Development Gary Eitel presented the three components making up the framework for a financial assistance package as follows: 1. EDA provides $3.3 million for public purpose costs to ensure the timely redevelopment of the site and completion of the 01/24/11 -2- DRAFT features prioritized by the EDA; 2. A collateralized $1 million forgivable loan having a term of five years with an interest rate of 6% (City's CIP assessment rate). The loan amount will be available upon the execution of the Tax Increment Development Agreement which will limit the use of these funds to eligible public purpose costs and acquisitions, exclusive of Walmart related costs; and, 3. The EDA's lot will be included in the development of Shingle Creek Crossing PUD using the formula detailed in staff's report. Mr. Eitel listed the benefits the City would receive for an investment of $4.5 million that would create new development energy as far as the 57 and Logan EDA site. He explained the details of this framework will be negotiated in a development agreement through the City Attorney and conclude with the creation of a new TIF district and implementation. Mayor/President Willson stated that he is not shy about using TIF but believed the City needed to be prudent to assure increment is available to pay back TIF. He welcomed the opportunity to work with Mr. Gatlin to bring this project into Brooklyn Center. Mayor/President Willson stated he supports proceeding with the framework as outlined by Mr. Eitel and getting into the detail of the development agreement. Mr. Boganey stated if the Council reaches consensus regarding the general framework, staff will develop a specific development agreement that the Council/EDA will consider at a future meeting. Councilmember /Commissioner Roche noted that Brookdale Mall is the second oldest enclosed mall in the country. He stated that Walmart is going under a radical rebranding effort, as is Brooklyn Center and Shingle Creek Crossing will help in that effort. He indicated he supported the terms of the framework and raised several design elements he would like considered including the daylighting of Shingle Creek and iconic building lighting to attract customers. He also suggested that the 12 stall parking area by Sears be reconfigured. Mr. Gatlin assured the Council they will work diligently with City staff to create the best design possible during the permitting, planning, and approval process that gives the Council the assurances they are looking. He asked the Council to keep in mind that Walmart is only 20% of this development so there will be many new shops. Mr. Gatlin stated he owns the Macy's building and described the potential ownership arrangements with the other buildings that would allow flexibility to attract desirable tenants. He presented an option that will be considered to use the building adjacent to Sears to create an interior climate - controlled corridor, a mall component. Councilmember /Commissioner Lasman asked staff to consider measurable performance benchmarks for TIF. Mr. Boganey stated those details will be spelled out in the assistance agreement. He noted the Council has a lot of influence through the PUD process to address details to be included. Councilmember /Commissioner Lasman stated it sounds like Mr. Gatlin is anxious to get started and she would like to see a standards and timeline that identifies dates when things will happen. O 01/24/11 -3- DRAFT Mr. Gatlin gave credit to City staff for developing this TIF concept and $1 million incentivized forgivable loan. He indicated he supports this plan, which is less than one -half the $10 million he had requested for this $100 million project. Mr. Gatlin estimated that Shingle Creek Crossing will result in producing millions more dollars for the City and this plan gives him incentive to complete the project quickly to meet the thresholds in Phase 1 to receive assistance. Councilmember /Commissioner Ryan stated he appreciates hearing that Walmart will "carry its own freight" because otherwise the community would question giving assistance to the richest company in the world. He stated he appreciates how challenging the market is today and supports the framework that will provide needed capital up front. Councilmember /Commissioner Ryan stated he looks forward to the process moving forward and appreciates the comments from a third party to evaluate the financials. Mr. Gatlin commented on the effort of Walmart to change its image and advised of its generosity in making donations to the community. He stated he is appreciative of the Council's support and will perform if the project is approved. Mr. Gatlin commented on the perfect timing for this project since they intend to open the first store in 2012, the 50'' year anniversary of the Brookdale Mall opening. He stated they plan to schedule a ground breaking in May complete with a wrecking ball and big ceremony. He commented on the generosity of Walmart to become involved in the community and stated they will be looking for places to make donations. i Councilmember /Commissioner Lasman suggested they consider the Centennial Park bandshell that the Centennial Committee is working to erect. Councilmember /Commissioner Kleven indicated she is excited about this project and appreciates the work of staff and Mr. Gatlin. The consensus of the City Council was to move forward with the framework as presented. ADJOURNMENT Councilmember /Commissioner Lasman moved and Councilmember /Commissioner Ryan seconded adjournment of the City Council/Economic Development Authority Work Session at 9:45 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. i 01/24/11 -4- DRAFT City of Brooklyn Center A Millennium Community February 1, 2011 Gatlin Development Company Attn: Frank Gatlin 101 S. Main Street Dickson, TN 37055 Re: Gatlin Development Company, Inc. Shingle Creek Crossing ( "SCC") Redevelopment Public Assistance Request The purpose of this letter is to confirm the understanding reached during our meeting on January 20, 2011. Subject to a public hearing and as otherwise permitted by law, EDA Staff will negotiate with Gatlin for a development agreement with the EDA, the terms of which will be generally consistent with the following: 1. $3 Million of "Up Front" Tax Increment Financiin. Subject to the City's ability to sell taxable tax increment revenue bonds in a principal amount equal to approximately p $2,500,000, the EDA will provide "upfront" TIF to reimburse Gatlin Development Company, for Inc. or a new entity to be created by Gatlin purpo ses of this Development (the "Developer ") for $3.3 million of costs Gatlin actually incurs to pay for TIF eligible expenses to be mutually agreed upon by the EDA and the Developer as necessary to reasonably ensure that the sum of the eligible expenses will total $3.3 million. The EDA will agree to disburse the funds to Developer upon the Developer's providing the EDA with satisfactory evidence that the reimbursable work has been completed and the Developer has completed (i) the day - lighting of Shingle Creek; (ii) street construction/landscaping within the project to achieve a "Town Center" look,, consistent with the proposed SCC site plan; (iii) design and construction of the storm water detention and/or retention areas, consistent with the proposed SCC site plan; and (iv) "reskinning" the exterior of the remaining portions of the existing mall. The EDA will provide this TIF fmancing without requiring an assessment agreement or increment guaranty from Walmart Parcel. Developer will provide a letter of credit from a bank acceptable to the EDA, in the amount of $2,500,000 (or such amount as is necessary to pay principal and maximum annual interest on the bonds), to assure payment of bonus issued by the EDA for the project. 2. No Public Subsidy to Benefit Walma Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, the EDA shall not support any portion whatsoever of the public subsidy contemplated herein being contributed to Walmart with respect to any costs Walmart may incur in connection with its participation in the SCC Redevelopment. Therefore, the Development Agreement will strictly prohibit the Developer from using any portion of the TIF proceeds for costs associated with the development of the Walmart parcel or to otherwise subsidize the Walmart development. 3. FoEgLyable City Loan The EDA will lend the Developer $1,000,000. The EDA will disburse the loan proceeds to the Developer contemporaneously with the Developer's 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Recreation and Community Center Phone & TDD Number Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 -2199 (763) 569 -3400 City Hall & TDD Number (763) 569 -3300 FAX (763) 569 -3434 FAX (763) 569 -3494 www. cityof brooklyncenter. org closing on the acquisition of the Capmark Parcel. The Development Agreement will strictly • prohibit the Developer from using any portion of the loan proceeds for costs associated with the development of the Walmart parcel or to otherwise subsidize the Walmart development. The loan will bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum and will mature five years from the date the EDA disburses the loan proceeds to the Developer ( "Maturity Date "). There will be no principal or interest payments due prior to the Maturity Date. All principal and accrued interest will be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date; provided, however, on the Maturity Date, the EDA will forgive amounts due under the terms of the promissory note as follows: (a) The Developer and the EDA will define, in the Development Agreement, the minimum square foot area of the improvements the Developer will construct within the Project — which the EDA and the Developer agree shall not include any structures existing as of the date of the Capmark Parcel closing that ultimately remain as part of the SCC Redevelopment. (b) If the Developer has completed and secured a certificate of occupancy for all of the agreed upon improvements on or before the Maturity Date, the EDA will forgive all principal and interest due. (c) If the Developer has not completed and secured a certificate of occupancy for all of the agreed upon construction on or before the Maturity Date, the Developer must pay to the EDA, on the Maturity Date, that portion of the principal (plus accrued interest thereon) that is proportional to the square foot area of the agreed upon improvement for which the Developer has not completed and secured a certificate of occupancy before the Maturity Date. For example, if the Developer and the EDA agree that the Developer is to construct 350,000 square feet of improvements on or before the Maturity Date, and the Developer has completed and secured a certificate of occupancy for 315,000 square feet of improvements as of the Maturity Date and has not completed and secured a certificate of occupancy of 35,000 square feet (10 %), the EDA would only forgive 90% of the principal and interest due on the EDA loan. The Developer will grant the EDA a mortgage on the development property, exclusive of the Walmart site, to secure its obligation to repay the loan. The EDA will agree in the Development Agreement and the mortgage that the EDA's mortgage is subordinate to any mortgages or liens on the Development property that the Developer has previously granted or thereafter grants to secure the repayment of loans, the proceeds of which the Developer uses to finance hard or soft costs associated with the development of the Project or to secure the performance of the Developer's obligations to Wahnart with respect to the performance of the Developer's obligations relating to the development of the Walmart site. 4. Conveyance of the EDA Parcel The Development Agreement will provide that Parcel to the Developer for an agreed purchase rice to be determined the EDA will sell the EDA Parc pe gr p p based on the appraisal of the EDA Parcel. Prior to execution of the Development Agreement, . Gatlin will secure an appraisal of the EDA Parcel at Gatlin's expense from an appraiser jointly selected by the EDA and Gatlin. The appraiser's analysis shall be based on an "as is" sale and a closing within 90 days of the date of the appraisal. The EDA will provide seller financing. The closing will occur after the Developer's acquisition of the Capmark property and the City and the • EDA have approved a specific commercial use and site development plan for the EDA site. The Developer will execute a note in favor of the EDA for the amount of the purchase price. The Developer will grant the EDA a mortgage on the EDA Parcel to secure its obligation to repay the note. The note will bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum and will mature on the date five years from the closing date. The EDA will forgive the principal and interest due under the note, cancel the note and release the mortgage if, on or before the maturity date, if the property currently occupied by Midas Muffler is developed in accordance with a development plan approved by the City and the EDA as a part of the planned unit development for the project, and a certificate of occupancy has been issued for the development.

Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council consider approval /adoption of Resolution Approving Projected Use of Funds for 2011 Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant Program, Authorizing Signature of Subrecipient Agreement with Hennepin County and Any Third Party Agreements. • Background: 2011 CDBG Allocation Brooklyn Center is one of 40 Hennepin County cities participating in the Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. With CDBG, federal dollars from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) are awarded to Hennepin County and are allocated to participating cities on a formula basis. In December 2010 Congress passed a short term continuing Resolution for Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 appropriations to keep government operations going until March 4, 2011. The Resolution freezes spending on federal programs, including CDBG, at FY 2010 levels. At the time of writing this memorandum, it is unclear when final FY 2011 CDBG allocations will be available. Hennepin County has directed cities to use FY2010 CDBG amounts for 2011 planning purposes. The final FY2010 CDBG allocation was $203,588. Federal CDBG Statutory Requirements The federal authorizing statute for the CDBG program requires that each funded CDBG activity meet one of three national objectives: 1. benefiting low income persons, 2.preventing or eliminating slums and /or blight and 3.meeting urgent community needs. The federal statute also specifies that each recipient receiving funds must insure at least 70 percent of the CDBG expenditures during the program year must be used for activities benefiting low and /or very low income persons. Each city must meet this requirement at the local level. i Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe conuntinity that enhances the quality of life and preserves the public trust COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM Based on the preliminary 2011 CDBG allocation of $203,588, meeting the 70 percent requirement means that $142,512 of the total allocation must be expended on programs and services directly benefiting low income persons. Low income persons are defined as persons with incomes ranging from 30 to 50 percent (very low income) to 80 percent (low income) of the median household income in the Minneapolis /St. Paul metropolitan area as defined by HUD. 2011 HUD income data is not yet available. A table showing 2010 HUD income data is included in the attachments to this memorandum. Summary of 2010 CDBG Allocations The following summary represents the City's 2010 CDBG allocation of the total $203,588: • Senior Community Services Household Outside Maintenance for the Elderly (H.O.M.E.) program -- $15,150 • Community Emergency Assistance Program Senior Services program -- $9,410 • Neighborhood Stabilization/Code Enforcement program -- $151,001.83 • HOME Line's Tenant Advocacy -- $3,785 • Housing Rehabilitation ( Rehabilitation of Private Property) -- $24,241.17 2011 CDBG Requests for Fundini • Senior Community Services' Household Outside Maintenance for the Elderly (H.O.M.E.) program 2011 request is $14,000 to continue the H.O.M.E. Program in Brooklyn Center. Details of Senior Community Services H.O.M.E. Program are provided • in their attached 2011 CDBG Request for Funding form. It should be noted that, in addition to the items listed in the 2011 Request for Funding form submitted by Senior Community Services, the agency assisted with the resolution of two "garbage house" situations encountered by city staff in 2010. This program has been part of the City's CDBG program for 16 years. • Community Emergency Assistance Program (CEAP) 2011 request is $10,000 to continue the Senior Services Program in Brooklyn Center, including Meals on Wheels. Details on the CEAP Senior Services Program are provided in their attached 2011 CDBG Request for Funding form. This program has been part of the City's CDBG program for 11 years. • HOME Line Tenant Advocacy Services request is for $7,000 to provide funding for HOME Line's Tenant Advocacy Services Program. Details on HOME Line's request are provided in their attached 2011 CDBG Request for Funding form. 2011 would be the third year of funding for this program. • City of Brooklyn Center Neighborhood Stabilization/ Code Enforcement Program request is $150,000 to address foreclosed and vacant properties and arrest the decline of neighborhoods in the City. Details on the CDBG Code Enforcement activity are provided in the attached 2011 Request for Funding form. This would be the third year of funding for the code enforcement activity. Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe community that enhances the quality of life and preserves the public trust COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM • • Home Rehabilitation Program (Rehabilitation of Private Property). If the City Code Enforcement Program is approved and the maximum public service amount of 15% is awarded to any or all of the public service requests (Senior Community Services, CEAP and HOME Line) there would be $23,088 available to allocate to this program from the 2011 preliminary CDBG allocation. This amount would be used to address emergency items such as furnace replacement, water and sewer service repair, etc.. The Home Rehabilitation program has been part of the City's CDBG program since CDBG was first created in the mid 1970's. CDBG ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS • Pursuant to federal program requirements, each city receiving a CDBG allocation from the Urban Hennepin County CDBG program is limited to a 15 percent cap on public service projects. The H.O.M.E. Program (Senior Community Services), Senior Services Program (CEAP) and the HOME Line Tenant Advocacy Program are categorized as public service projects. Based on the preliminary allocation for 2011, the maximum amount of CDBG funds that can be allocated to public service activities is $30,500 or 15% of the City's 2011 preliminary CDBG allocation. The 15% cap on public service is a CDBG statutory requirement. • Hennepin County has indicated that no more than three activities should be undertaken in each city receiving CDBG funds and that each activity should have a budget of at least $7,500. This is not a statutory requirement and the county has indicated in their CDBG guidelines that, with regard to the $7,500 amount, "when funds are committed by other cities to carry out a single activity of mutual interest, these limits do not apply ". The H.O.M.E. Program (Senior Community Services) and HOME Line are both considered multi -city activities or county wide activities.. • CDBG activities must address a high priority need according to the County's Consolidated Plan for affordable housing, community development and human services. Cities funding activities that are not high priorities under the consolidated plan must explain why the project is needed in their city. All requests for CDBG funding received for 2011 CDBG funds are categorized by Hennepin County as high priorities for 2011. PUBLIC HEARING AND RESOLUTION The attached public hearing notice was published in the January 20, 2011 edition of the Brooklyn Center Post. Hennepin County requires a public hearing be held on the use of CDBG funds and that the 2011 CDBG programs be submitted to Hennepin County by February 24, 2011. A resolution approving the 2011 CDBG program has been prepared for City Council consideration. Funding for the 2011 CDBG program would be made available by July 1, 2011 and CDBG funds must be spent no later than December 31, 2012 (within 18 months). The resolution included with this memorandum also authorizes signature of the Subrecipient Agreement, which is the agreement between Hennepin County and the City of Brooklyn Center relative to CDBG funds and also any third party agreements that would be executed between the city and third party vendors such as Senior Community Services the Community Emergency hfission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe community that enhances the quality of life and preserves the public trust COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM Assistance Program (CEAP) and HOME Line. These agreements are standardized agreements developed by Hennepin County and will be submitted after approval of the City's 2011 CDBG program. Representatives from Senior Community Services, CEAP and HOME Line have been notified of the public hearing.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1. City: Brooklyn Center 2. Project Name: H.O.M.E. (Household & Outside Maintenance for Elderly), A Program of Senior Community Services Primary Contact Person/ Phone No./Email: Deb Taylor / 952 -541 -1019 x317 / d.taylor @seniorcommunity.org B. PROJECT DATA 1. CDBG Funding Requested $14,000 (needs to be same as council resolution) 2. Is this an existing CDBG - funded project? ®Yes ONo 3. Project Location: Address or Citywide X 4. Project Description: (Describe the project in as much detail as possible, including the local need(s) the project will address.) The Household & Outside Maintenance for Elderly program known as H.O.M.E. is operated by Senior Community Services (SCS), a well- respected Minnesota non - profit 501(c)(3) organization with over 60 years of experience in enhancing the independence, involvement, and quality of life for seniors and their caregivers. The mission of H.O.M.E. is to assist older adults to maintain their dignity and live independently by providing accessible, reliable, and affordable homemaker, home maintenance and chore services. H.O.M.E. has been serving the community since 1980. Currently, H.O.M.E. provides services to persons age 60 and older in the cities of Bloomington, Brooklyn Center, Crystal, Edina, Eden Prairie, Golden Valley, Hopkins, Maple Grove, Minnetonka, New Hope, Plymouth, Richfield, Robbinsdale, St. Louis Park and Wayzata. The H.O.M.E. program has been part of the Brooklyn Center CDBG program for 16 years. In addition to minor home maintenance and repair, including exterior and interior painting and some household chore services, for persons 60 years of age and older, the H.O.M.E. program has also assisted with clean-up of garbage houses in the City. 1 O • The overall objective and goal for the H.O.M.E. program is to maintain seniors in affordable housing by providing homemaking, home maintenance and chore services that they can no longer do for themselves. The services are provided on a sliding fee scale. Over 80% of H.O.M.E. clients are unable to pay the full cost of services. For them, H.O.M.E. is a lifesaver that helps them age with dignity in their own homes. The program director and program coordinators screen, hire, and supervise paid workers; screen and arrange for contracted workers; and recruit, screen, assign, and supervise volunteers — usually corporate and church groups, youth and families. Staff meet with seniors in their homes to mutually assess the amount and type of homemaking services needed, such as housecleaning, laundry, and grocery shopping, which are provided by the program's paid workers. Seniors receiving home maintenance and chore services such as lawn mowing, snow removal, minor home repairs, and painting are usually assigned an independent contractor or a paid worker. Almost all spring and fall raking and yard cleanup is accomplished by volunteers. H.O.M.E. impacts many aspects of seniors' lives: personal and financial health, dignity, quality of life, and achieving the personal goal of remaining independent at home. Cities, neighbors, and the seniors themselves appreciate the help we provide to maintain seniors' homes with fresh paint, to help keep the interior and exterior of the home free of clutter and debris, and to keep lawns mowed and sidewalks shoveled. These services not only keep the home a nice place to live but also protect a major financial asset for the senior – their home. This protection improves seniors' ability to stay self - sufficient. Program offices are located at Creekside Community Center, 9801 Penn Avenue South, Bloomington; Senior Community Services 10709 Wayzata Blvd., #111, Minnetonka; Minnetonka Community /Senior Center, 14600 Minnetonka Blvd., Minnetonka. Clients gain access to the program either by contacting one of the H.O.M.E. offices or by referral by an area agency. Revenues are derived from client fees, Metropolitan Area Agency on Aging, cities in which H.O.M.E. operates, United Way, private foundations, client contributions and Friends of H.O.M.E., an organization that solicits donations from businesses, churches, community groups and individuals. 5.

Project Description: Describe the project in as much detail as possible, including the J p � p J P � g local need(s) the project will address.) CEAP's Senior Chore Services Program were able to help keep 220 Brooklyn Center seniors and adults with disabilities in their own homes last year as a result of the city's support for Meals on Wheels and Home Chore services. 92 clients are over 80 years old and would most certainly need more costly care without this help. Brooklyn Center's investment is less than $110 per family per year and is the funding we need to keep the program going. This serves the community in the following ways: • Maintains homes and property to prevent community blight; • Provides means for City Inspectors to help residents whose property needs maintenance; • Fosters independence for seniors and disabled individuals; • Supports social, mental and emotional health; • Creates a savings by utilizing volunteers as much as possible, especially in large fall and spring raking events; • Focuses citizens on retention of community resources rather than burdening government and health industry resources. 4 8 1 • Two programs are supported by this grant: Senior Services (chores) and Meals on Wheels: Senior Services: Referrals for Chore Services originate from family members, clients, medical professionals, churches, government offices and other social service agencies. This program is open for residents 60 -years of age or greater, as well as individuals with physical restrictions living in Brooklyn Center. This program provides the following services: 1. Seasonal outdoor work, such as spring and fall raking and winter snow shoveling and blowing; 2. Routine indoor cleaning, 3. Indoor heavy cleaning, 4. Home repairs, 5. Yard work In 2010, the Senior Services program delivered assistance for the following Brooklyn Center senior projects: Raking — 61 Jobs, 913 Hours; Lawn Mowing — 312 Jobs, 350 Hours; Snow Removal —145 Jobs, 151 Hours; Housekeeping —120 Jobs, 215 Hours; Home Repairs — 54 Jobs, 124 Hours. Meals on Wheels • CEAP provides Meals on Wheels. This program delivers nutritious meals to senior citizens 60 -years of age or greater, as well as individuals with disabilities. Volunteer drivers deliver hot meals to participants. Meals on Wheels clients make donations as they are able but receive service regardless of their ability to donate. This program keeps seniors and the disabled in their homes and dramatically increases their ability to live independently. Due to the economic downturn, and the aging population, the demand for this service continues to rise. In 2010, 13,065 hot meals were delivered to clients in Brooklyn Center. 5.

City: Brooklyn Center 2. Project Name: Neighborhood Stabilization/Code Enforcement 3. Primary Contact Person/ Phone No./Email Tom Bublitz -763-569-3433. B. PROJECT DATA 1. CDBG Funding Requested $ 150,000 (needs to be same as council resolution) 2. Is this an existing CDBG - funded project? ®Yes ❑No 3. Project Location: Address or Citywide 4. Project Description: (Describe the project in as much detail as possible, including the • local need(s) the project will address.) Consistent with National, State and County trends, the City of Brooklyn Center has experienced high rates of residential property foreclosures resulting in significant numbers of vacant and abandoned properties. Brooklyn Center is one of six Hennepin County cities experiencing the greatest number of foreclosures. Only Brooklyn Park and Minneapolis have more foreclosed and vacant residential properties than Brooklyn Center. On a percent basis, Brooklyn center had the highest percentage of foreclosures of all cities in suburban Hennepin County from 2007 through 2009. Based on current market conditions and projections by governmental and financial institutions, Brooklyn Center will continue to experience high rates of foreclosures for several years to come. Specific data for foreclosed and vacant properties in Brooklyn Center is shown by the following: Foreclosures in Brooklyn Center 2006 135 2007 254 2008 394 2009 305 2010 287 Properties Vacant some point within 2009 804 Properties Vacant some point within 2010 848 • 1 i • Currently vacant homes as of February, 2011 416 (Difference in totals indicates re- occupancy) *Due to continual fluctuations in housing market and tracking capacity, numbers may vary slightly. The impacts of foreclosed and vacant properties in the City of Brooklyn Center is summarized by the following: Vacant and abandoned properties can create costly problems for cities in general and potentially severe problems for specific neighborhoods hardest hit by clusters of foreclosed or vacant properties. Vacant properties detract from the quality of life in cities and can severely drain municipal budgets. Worst of all these properties negatively affect homeowners who struggle to maintain their properties in an environment where property values may continue to decline. • The number of vacant properties fluctuates, but is expected to be high for the next few years. The status of the property, ownership, responsible parties and numbers can change daily. Some properties were vacant for two years. • The majority of vacant properties in the city have one or more code violations, everything from health/life safety hazards to general nuisances. • Significant city resources and costs are being spent to deal with problems associated with vacant properties, often shifting resources from other programs areas. *Early intervention with vacant properties helps to ensure minimum community standards, while increasing citizen satisfaction. • The presence of vacant homes and foreclosures on a block is impacting the sale prices of open market transactions. Some properties are being listed below or near land values. • Long term vacant properties create potential for increased levels of vandalism and more serious criminal activity. City of Brooklyn Center Foreclosure and Vacant Property Strategy The following is a summary of the city's comprehensive foreclosure and vacant property strategy. Implementation of the strategy will involve both local and CDBG funding sources. Four Step Foreclosure and Vacant Property Strategy Step 1— Data Collection Identify the scope and depth of foreclosures and its impact on the community in order to develop effective action plans. Although initial analysis is already complete, monitoring conditions as the housing market fluctuates and evolves is an ongoing process. Step 2 — Neighborhood Stabilization Evaluating the condition of properties, eliminating imminent health and life safety hazards, securing buildings and minimizing nuisances. Step 3 — Prevention and Intervention Educational and referral activities to prevent or assist individuals going through the foreclosure process. Step 4 — Reinvestment 2 Getting vacant properties re- occupied with a focus on safe and decent housing and owner - occupancy. As part of the overall foreclosure and vacant property strategy, the City has adopted a Vacant Building Ordinance which includes the following provisions and requirements: ❖ An owner, mortgage company or other responsible party must register a residential or commercial property that is vacant for more than 30 days. ❖ Properties vacant for more than 365 days, without an approved property plan may be demolished. ❖ A property plan, which includes operational information and a plan for re- occupying the property, must be developed. ❖ Actions must be taken to ensure the property is secured and maintained in good condition. ❖ An inspection prior to re- occupancy is required to ensure the property meets minimum health and safety standards ❖ A streamlined process for correction of nuisances and city- facilitated abatements is established. ❖ Unpaid registration fees and costs of abatements and city services may be specially assessed to the property. Summary of CDBG Assisted Activities Related to City's Foreclosure and Vacant Property Strategy CDBG assisted activities will focus on increased and targeted code enforcement in eligible geographical areas of the city qualifying as part of the low and moderate income upper quartile requirement. The primary goal of these CDBG assisted activities is to arrest the decline of City neighborhoods. Code enforcement activities are described by the following: • Maintain list of vacant residential properties, identify and evaluate property conditions and take • actions to eliminate health and life safety hazards. • When foreclosed and vacant properties are identified, assure that property is secured, including boarding up if necessary, and checking to see that utilities are shut off if necessary to avoid problems such as frozen pipes, address public nuisance and housing/building code violations. • Administer provisions of city's Vacant Building Ordinance including identifying and working with responsible party (ies) to ensure property is secured and address required actions responsible party (ies) must take to comply with Vacant Building Ordinance. • Work with responsible parties on the development of a property plan pursuant to the requirements of the city's Vacant Building Ordinance, including timetable to address applicable regulations /violations. Work with residents to address issues relative to foreclosed and vacant properties that are unique to a particular neighborhood and work with appropriate city departments /staff and/or non -profit and community groups in a collaborative approach to property maintenance and rehabilitation. Proactively address issues which cause or create a blighting influence on adjoining properties. 5.

Describe anticipated results /accomplishments the project will have. (number of persons to receive services, number of affordable housing units to be rehabilitated or built, etc.) The goal in 2010 was to address all existing foreclosed and vacant properties in a timely manner. City staff have worked to process all foreclosures and vacant properties within the city. Currently there are 319 vacant properties that are monitored, inspected, and registered. The goals for 2010 are to accomplish the following: •Verify and update existing inventory of all foreclosed and vacant residential properties in the city. *Recognize vacant properties quicker by combining information on bank owned property and low water consumption. • *Monitor foreclosures and associated problems such as vacant properties. • Work with mortgage companies and servicing companies for vacant properties for a timely response and resale of vacant properties. •Identify and prioritize property code violations with health and safety issues addressed and resolved first so that properties are safe and secured. •Address and resolve secondary housingibuilding code and public nuisance violations of vacant and foreclosed properties. *Continue to implement and administer the requirements of the city's Vacant Building Ordinance. *Assure that residents in areas affected by foreclosed and vacant properties are informed about code enforcement activities and that resident information regarding foreclosed and vacant properties is incorporated into property monitoring and information activities. *In addition to CDBG assisted code enforcement activities, it is the city's goal to provide staff and financial resources to assure that at minimum, 100 of the current number of vacant and foreclosed properties are re- occupied with a focus on safe, decent affordable owner occupied housing. Between March 2009 and January 2011 eighty two (82) Renew Loans had closed on vacant/foreclosed properties in the city, providing homes for new homeowners in the city and contributing to the stability of city neighborhoods. CDBG activities assisted are part of a larger strategy to arrest the decline of City neighborhoods.

Project Location: Citywide 3455 Bloomington Avenue, Minneapolis. 55407. HOME Line's tenant services are citywide. Tenants call our free hotline from their homes. Renter Education presentations are done in the local high schools. 4. Project Description: (Describe the project in as much detail as possible, including the local need(s) the project will address.) Briefly describe the proposed project. The narrative should include the need or problem to be addressed in relation to the Consolidated Plan (see attached table), as well as the population to be served or the area to benefit. Describe the work to be performed, including the activities to be undertaken or the services to be provided, the goals and objectives, method of approach, implementation schedule and anticipated results /accomplishments. We anticipate assisting approximately 248 Brooklyn Center renter households over the hotline during the program year and offering educational presentations at Brooklyn Center High School. Renters make up nearly 3,140 households in Brooklyn Center, and many of these families have low incomes. When renters have problems involving their homes, those who don't know their rights and responsibilities can end up living in housing that is unsafe, lose security deposits that are rightfully theirs, or make decisions that cost them their home. HOME Line provides renters with the tools necessary to keep their homes safe and affordable. HOME Line will provide two distinct, but related, programs as part of this grant: a tenant hotline that provides free legal advice to tenants about landlord/tenant law and a high school educational program. These services prevent problems ranging from • homelessness to illness from unsafe living conditions, and result in reducing the use of the city's emergency resources. Tenant Hotline The first of these programs is HOME Line's tenant hotline. The hotline began in 1992 as a service to Suburban Hennepin County residents. Today we serve the entire state (excluding Minneapolis) and have recently taken our 130,OOOth call. Four staff attorneys and a tenant advocate work full time on the hotline along with 40 -60 law student volunteers each year. Brooklyn Center has accounted for 4,259 calls since 1992. Our tenant services to Brooklyn Center have helped save tenants approximately $561,550, $48,330 in 2010. We have also helped to prevent the eviction of an estimated 314 Brooklyn Center families, 17 families in 2010. Last year alone we advised 248 renter households from Brooklyn Center. The most common reasons Brooklyn Center residents call our hotline are; repairs, evictions, security deposits landlord foreclosures, and infestations. The need for this service in Brooklyn Center is apparent -- Brooklyn Center residents already rely on this valuable service. Tenants living in rental units (usually single - family homes or duplexes) are encountering a growing problem in the last 30 months: the landlord being foreclosed on. Typically, the tenant has done nothing wrong and is usually current on their rent when they are served with a notice of an impending sheriff's sale (usually within 2 -3 weeks). Faced with this information, many renters simply vacate the rental unit. The law, however, probably allows them to stay in the home for 6 -9 months following the sheriff's sale. Since 2008, HOME Line's phone number is included in all foreclosure notices and briefly explains renter's rights in these situations. The difference between leaving in 3 weeks or having an additional 6 to 9 months to find suitable new housing cannot be overstated — people find adequate and livable new housing (and may have enough time to actually buy a home if they are on a homeownership track) and the kids maybe able to complete their school year. Our primary objective with renters facing foreclosures is to provide information and advice. Once the tenant understands they don't have to leave prior to the sale, they can plan their lives accordingly instead of racing to vacate in three weeks. The goal is to make sure as many tenants know this as possible. Since 1992, we have helped 114 renter households in Brooklyn Center deal with landlords going into foreclosure. In 2010 alone, we helped 21 renter households in Brooklyn Center facing foreclosure issues. High School Renter Education Prog am The second program is our high school presentation program. To date, we have spoken to 1,077 classes (over 29,200 students) throughout the metro area. At Brooklyn Center High School, we have given 23 different presentations, reaching over 406 students. This presentation has awards from both Best Prep and B.E.E.F. (Business Economic Education Foundation). It focuses on the things that future renters should know, • including how to avoid evictions, how to select roommates, security deposits and • understanding leases. While our services are available to all renters free of charge, over 98% of our Brooklyn Center callers have low or very -low incomes; in 2010 almost three quarters (74 %) of these callers are women; and over 69% are racial minorities. Our programs are aimed at low- income renters, high school students who are about to enter the rental market, and recent immigrants. We identify the key demographics at the beginning of each call. 5.

A copy of the 2010 CDBG Program Request for Funding is enclosed. Along with the CDBG Request Form, I am enclosing a summary of our hotline's service to Brooklyn Center residents. Included in this information is the continuing problem of landlord foreclosures affecting renters in Brooklyn Center. More than 20% of our callers from Brooklyn Center, (21 families in 2010) face critical housing situations involving landlords in foreclosure. Keeping renters in their homes not only benefits these families who have done nothing wrong, but also keeps homes occupied longer preventing houses from being vacated u nnecessarily, thus reducing the cities burden of dealing with vacant properties. HOME Line is building upon our depth of experience in serving Brooklyn Center. We are working to meet current challenges facing low - income renters and would like the City of Brooklyn Center to continue as our partner in meeting these needs. We thank you for the opportunity to submit this application. If you have any questions or need additional information, please call me at 612/728 -5770, extension 107 or Mike Vraa, our managing attorney at extension 113.

The project was previously established by the City Council on August 9, 2011, by Resolution 2010- 114 and August 23, 2010, by Resolution 2010 -119. On January 24, 2011, the City Council received the project feasibility report and called for a public hearing to be held on February 14, 2011, to consider these improvements. The project feasibility report provides a description of the recommended improvements for the neighborhood and an estimated project budget. The proposed improvements are as follows: 1. Street Improvements — Includes regrading; base preparation, installation of concrete driveway aprons, bituminous paving, installation of concrete curb and gutter, • replacement of street signs, and boulevard restoration. :Mission; Ensuring; an attractive, clean safe colnnrunity tha, enhances the quality nf'life and preserves the puhlic trust COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM 2.

Sanitary Sewer Main Improvements — Includes replacement of sanitary sewer pipe, access structures and sewer services to the property lines. II. Summary of Assessments Special assessments are proposed as one of several funding sources for the improvements located within the Palmer Lake East Neighborhood. On January 10, 2011, the City Council adopted the 2011 special assessment rates for street and storm drainage improvements for residential zoned properties. The 2011 rates were established in accordance with the City's Special Assessment Policy. The feasibility report includes 'a preliminary assessment roll identifying approximately 395 single family residential properties and one multiple family property. Special assessments for single family residential properties were calculated at full unit assessment rates of $3,559 for street improvements and $1,068 for storm drainage improvements. The multifamily property • located at 6915 Humboldt Avenue North has been computed based on unit assessments prorated per lot area. See the attached revised Appendix C -Final Pending Assessment Roll and Figure 5- Assessment Map from the project feasibility report. Public Comments A property owner may choose to appeal or object to a special assessment. If an owner files an appeal with the Clerk prior to the public hearing, or should any person appear at the hearing and object to an assessment, staff recommends that the Council refer any substantive objections to staff for a report back to the Council at a continued hearing. An example might be an issue whereby staff would need to research the history of a particular complaint, and assemble documentation. The Council should- consider removing the objection related assessment from the proposed levy roll and adopting the remaining proposed assessments. If an appeal for a specific property is actually filed with district court, the City Attorney will .advise the Council of options for handling the dispute and potential litigation issues. Payment Options Available to Property Owners Once an assessment roll is adopted by the Council, the owner of each property has the following payment options: 1. Pay the entire amount of the special assessment, without interest, between March 1 and September 30, 2011.

Recommended Council Procedure First Public Hearing to Order Improvements: Staff recommends that a presentation be provided to the City Council prior to holding the first public hearing. Following the presentation, a public hearing to consider ordering the Improvement Project should be conducted to receive public comments. Public comments concerning special assessments should be deferred to the second public hearing. A resolution ordering the improvements and authorizing preparation of the plans and specifications is provided for Council consideration upon closing of the first public hearing. Second Public Hearing for Special Assessments: After taking action on the first proposed resolution to order the project, it is recommended that the Council then conduct a second public hearing on the proposed special assessments. The attached resolution certifying special assessments for street and storm drainage improvements for Improvement Project Nos. 2011 -01 and 2011 -02 to the Hennepin County tax rolls is provided for Council consideration upon closing of the second public hearing. Budget Issues: The proposed street and utility improvements are included in the 2011 Capital Improvement Program for the City of Brooklyn Center. The total project cost is estimated to be $7,338,000. Funding sources for the project are budgeted from sources as described in the project feasibility report previously accepted by the City Council on January 24, 2011. Please see the attached Appendix A- Resident Comments regarding additional comments received subsequent to the January 14, 2011, council meeting that have been amended to the project feasibility study.

February 2°2011 Dear City of Brooklyn Center, This letter is to notify and voice my opinion of the collection of funds for the street and utility improvement project. I am a resident on 72nd ave N, Brooklyn Center. Although I favor an improvement program and understand the importance of public safety, I strongly am opposed to a lump sum or large amounts of fees required up front to residents. In this economy, I do not have enough funds to meet the city's request. I strongly feel that financing this project should be accomplished through collecting smaller amounts over our face." i " too s i me time through tax.

Background: A series of two public hearings are scheduled on February 14, 2011. The first hearing is to consider ordering improvements and authorize preparation of plans and specifications for • Improvement Project No. 2011 -05. The second hearing is to consider certification of proposed special assessments for street improvements for Improvement Project No. 2011 -05. All potentially affected property owners have been notified by certified mail of the date of the public hearings and the amount of the proposed special assessments. L Explanation of Improvements The proposed project includes roadway improvements for the residential neighborhood area referred to as the Unity Avenue area. The project was previously established by the City Council on August 9, 2011, by Resolution 2010 -115. On January 24, 2011, the City Council received the project feasibility report and called for a public hearing to be held on February 14, 2011, to consider these improvements. The project feasibility report provides a description of the recommended improvements for the neighborhood and an estimated project budget. The proposed improvements are as follows: 1. Street Improvements — Approximately 15 percent of the curb and gutter is estimated to be replaced due to heaving /settling issues, cracked concrete and impacts by other construction (e.g. storm sewer replacement). The existing roadway width will be maintained and is proposed to be constructed to 30 feet. Concrete curbing through driveways will be rehabilitated and replaced as necessary due to heaving /settling issues and impacts by other construction. The proposed street reconstruction does not include changes to the roadway width, alignment or elevation • Mission. Ensuring an attractive, clean vote cotnnnnnty that enhances the qualltt of life and preserves the public trust COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM 2. Storm Drainage Improvements — Minor storm sewer improvements will be made to the • existing system that includes replacing/repairing catch basins and laterals where necessary. Repairs will be made as necessary to the existing sheet pile weir just south of 70 Circle. No storm water treatment improvements are proposed. 3. Water Main Improvements — Only minor miscellaneous repairs are planned for hydrants and valves. No watermain pipe replacement is recommended for this project. 4. Sanitary Sewer Main Improvements — Only minor miscellaneous sanitary sewer repairs are proposed including the replacement of manhole castings and adjustment rings with external seals as part of the City's sanitary sewer infiltration and inflow program to minimize - clean rainwater from entering the sanitary sewer. H. Summary of Assessments Special assessments are proposed as one of several funding sources for the improvements located within the Unity Avenue area. On January 10, 2011, the City Council adopted the 2011 special assessment rates for street and storm drainage improvements for residential zoned properties. The 2011 rates were established in accordance with the City's Special Assessment Policy. The feasibility report includes a preliminary assessment roll identifying approximately 318 residential (R3) units. Special assessments for residential (R3) properties were calculated at a partial unit assessment rate of $644.07 per unit for street improvements. See the attached Appendix C -Final Pending Assessment Roll and Figure 4- Assessment Map from the project feasibility report. • Public Comments A property owner may choose to appeal or object to a special assessment. If an owner files an appeal with the Clerk prior to the public hearing, or should any person appear at the hearing and object to an assessment, staff recommends that the Council refer any substantive objections to staff for a report back to the Council at a continued hearing. An example might be an issue whereby staff would need to research the history of a particular complaint, and assemble documentation. The Council should consider removing the objection related assessment from the proposed levy roll and adopting the remaining proposed assessments. If an appeal for a specific property is actually filed with district court, the City Attorney will advise the Council of options for handling the dispute and potential litigation issues. Payment Options Available to Property Owners Once an assessment roll is adopted by the Council, the owner of each property has the following payment options: 1. Pay the entire amount of the special assessment, without interest, between March 1 and September 30, 2011. 2. From October 1, 2011, to the end of the business day on November 29, 2011, a property owner may pay the total assessment, with interest calculated from October 1, 2011, to the • date of payment.

They are scientists, university professors, business men and women, and infact they are engaged in all aspects of professions. Even though we are traditionally silent in most communities we live and belong to, you will find an Igbo in almost every neighborhood, business and professional work life in most cities around the world. In 1984 a handful of Igbos most of whom were international students in the Twin Cities and a few Igbo professionals in Minnesota felt a need to have a social and cultural community to hurdle up with to celebrate national and Christian holidays; and to celebrate graduations and other milestones together. They gathered, organized, and formed the Umunne Cultural Association of Minnesota [UCAM]. UCAM is a non - profit 501(C)(3) organization. It is also dedicated to promoting Igbo culture through social events to educate our American friends, neighbors, coworkers, classmates, and the general public about our culture and heritage, and to enhance the educational and well being of our children through such programs as our annual Igbofest event — sponsored by Metropolitan Art Council, University of St. Thomas, U.S. Bank systems, WellsFargo Bank, and friends of the Community. • With the growing number of our membership and children of Igbo descent, UCAM expanded its focus to include the Igbo School project. Our Igbo School teaches our children and interested participants, Igbo language, traditions, culture, and cuisine. Over the last five years, University of St. Thomas has underwritten and hosts our annual Youth Education Conference, a weekend symposium with our youths in universities around the country as guest speakers on their academic endeavors, mentoring, and adult guest keynote speakers on education and family. UCAM has many Outreach programs and collaborations with other immigrant communities, mainstream communities, and private partnerships with higher academic institutions in Minnesota, geared towards improving the welfare of our members and academic enrichment of our children. We are proud to say that ALL our children in high schools graduate each year and many have graduated from Ivy League and Minnesota higher education institutions. Because of the continued growth of the Igbo community, UCAM has over the last ten years strived to acquire an Igbo Community Cultural Center where we can broaden our programs in community services to our members, our children and our friends. Also, the high graduation rates of our children and the need to gather to celebrate such milestones as graduations, weddings, meetings, and other special social events in our community. We are happy and proud to finally call City of Brooklyn Center home (our village). We are mostly homeowners and great neighbors to many of our mainstream Americans and hope to be exemplary property owners in the City of Brooklyn Center and to be great neighbors to other business owners around the future Igbo Community Center — Umunne Cultural Association of Minnesota.

Also present were Councilmember Carol Kleven, Secretary to the Planning Commission/Director of Business & Development, Gary Eitel, and Planning Commission Recording Secretary Rebecca Crass. Commissioner Stan Leino was absent and excused. APPROVAL OF MINUTES — JANUARY 13, 2011 There was a motion by Commissioner Parks, seconded by Commissioner Morey, to approve the minutes of the January 13, 2011 meeting as submitted. The motion passed unanimously. CHAIR'S EXPLANATION Chair Rahn explained the Planning Commission's role as an advisory body. One of the Commission's functions is to hold public hearings. In the matters concerned in these hearings, the Commission makes recommendations to the City Council. The City Council makes all final decisions in these matters. APPLICATION NO. 2011 -001— GEORGE OGBONNA FOR THE UMUNNE CULTURAL ASSOCIATION Chair Rahn introduced Application No. 2011 -001, a request for Special Use Permit approval to operate an event center at 5939 John Martin Drive for gatherings, graduation ceremonies, weddings, meetings, workshops, holiday celebrations, and other special events for the Umunne Cultural Association of Minnesota. Mr. Eitel introduced the Special Use Permit application and explained the request is to operate an event center at the 5939 John Martin Drive building, an approximately 17,000 sq. ft. space. He described the location of the property and the zoning, C -2 (Commerce), which identifies certain permitted uses. This property is also within the City's CC (Central Commerce) Overlay District that encompasses everything from I -94 to Hwy 100, all of Brookdale and to the south of this site. He further explained that the applicant describes the proposed use as an event center for a variety of events and activities associated with the Umunne Cultural Association. This use is allowed as a special use in the C -2 zoning district, providing it does not abut a residential zoned property. Mr. Eitel further explained that based on availability of parking, the building could accommodate a building occupancy up to 357 persons provided all other building code requirements, including fire code requirements, and egress requirements are met. He added that based on the history of this type of use in similarly zoned property, it is a compatible use of the property. PUBLIC HEARING — APPLICATION NO 2011 -001 Page 1 1 -27 -11 There was a motion by Commissioner Kuykendall, seconded by Commissioner Parks, to open the public hearing on Application No. 2011 -001, at 7:17 p.m. The motion passed unanimously. Chair Rahn called for comments from the public. • Mr. George Ogbonna, on behalf of the Umunne Cultural Association, 3221 138 Ave NW, Andover, Minnesota, introduced himself to the Commission. He introduced the members of his committee that were in attendance with him at the meeting. Mr. Francis Onwualu, 7780 Sommerset Court, Woodbury, Minnesota, introduced himself to the Commission. He stated that the group started in 1984 by a group of members that felt there was a need to get together once a month. It has grown to over 150 members and they are professionals from all walks of life. They originally came here to study, but decided to stay, get married and have children. They have a cultural festival every year and people come from all over the United States to celebrate their culture and background. They searched for over two years to find a building and the building at 5939 John Martin Drive suits their needs for various events and gatherings. Commissioner Schonning stated a concern with access to the site and asked the applicant if they have a plan to deal with parking and egress /ingress from the site during events that may draw a large crowd. He added that he has seen a tight fit with parking at the New King Buffet, which is located next to this building. Mr. Onwualu responded that they did not anticipate a problem and would expect that their property would accommodate their parking needs. Mr. Eitel added that he had not seen any parking being shared from one site to the other, however, traffic and parking could be looked at further to determine if there would be any issues with parking and traffic flow in and out of the site. Commissioner Morey asked how the applicant came to choose the location in Brooklyn Center. Mr. Onwualu stated that it is a great central location for all members and families to gather for events. Councilmember Carol Kleven, 5835 Zenith Avenue North, Brooklyn Center, asked the applicant how often they will be using the building. Mr. Onwualu stated that it will be used mostly on the weekends. Mr. Eitel clarified that churches are not allowed in the CC (Central Commerce) Overlay district and this building will be used for other types of events with no regular church worship services. Mr. George Solomon, 3953 Zane Avenue, Robbinsdale, representing Jani King, is the neighboring property owner. He stated that they purchased the property six years ago and explained that they shared a tight parking configuration with the previous tenant of the building that had low traffic patterns. He added that they have some concerns with parking and would propose that they table their decision until further study can be done and more information gathered. Mr. Solomon pointed out an area that separates the two properties, which he maintains. They have had problems in the past with snow storage on the site along an area designated as a parking area but used as a drive area because of a tight fit for parking. He added that the problem with the site is the potential for heavy parking during their events when 1/3 of the parking spaces are virtually unusable in the winter because this is where snow is stored on the two sites. Mr. Page 2 1 -27 -11 Solomon asked what the hours of operation would be and how many people will be at an event during any given time. He also feels that with the anticipated large crowds gathering for events, it could create issues with his employees and parking. Mr. Eitel stated that no one has the right to trespass on anyone else's property. He also stated that the issue of snow storage and removal can be difficult on the site(s) because of the tight fit for both properties. He suggested that snow may have to be trucked out of the site if it becomes a problem. Mr. Eitel added that he would hope that the two neighboring businesses would be good neighbors and he feels that the applicant plans to be a productive, responsible business owner in the city. He added that it is his understanding that the facility will not be open to the public but open only to members for specific events. He suggested that the two business owners talk and engage in a conversation so there is no infringement on anyone's property and certain property maintenance issues can be coordinated amicably. Commissioner Kuykendall asked the applicant to explain hours of operation and numbers of guests. Mr. Onwualu responded that typically there are 30 to 40 cars and at other times for special events that are maybe 100 cars. He also stated that they attempted to contact Mr. Solomon by phone to talk to him but did not reach him. He added that they are peaceful people who wish to work things out with their neighbors. He added that hours of operation are typically four to midnight. Mr. Ogbonna stated that they have a long relationship as a property owner in St. Paul and have used that property for similar uses with no problems. Mr. Solomon stated that he would be thrilled to see the property mowed since it was not done last year. He added that they are not entirely opposed to this use but would like to see his concerns addressed and stated again that the request be tabled until they can be resolved. Mr. Eitel stated that if the two property owners wish to meet to discuss their concerns that would be appropriate. He added that it is the Commission's role to make a decision on whether or not the application is a compatible use of the property rather than solving a potential working relationship between neighbors. Mr. Solomon again stated that he would like the Commission to clear up his concerns prior to the application being approved and asked them to table the application. Mr. Onwualu responded that he has answered Mr. Solomon's questions and asks the Commission to move forward with a decision tonight.

Last year there were 60 booths and 400 people attended Earth Fest, they expect this year to be even bigger and better. • OTHER BUSINESS: UPDATE ON THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE BROOKDALE MALL PROPERTIES (SHINGLE CREEK CROSSINGS) Mr. Eitel stated that representatives for the Brookdale Mall are here to present to the Commission their amended proposal for the redevelopment of the Brookdale Mall Properties. He added that it includes the entire Brookdale site but excludes Sears and Midas. He pointed out that Kohl's and Applebee's are owned separately and are not part of the master plan for redevelopment. He added that the city owned property (old Ground Round building) has been incorporated into the redevelopment plans. Mr. Eitel further explained that 750,000 sq. ft. of the existing mall will be demolished and the first phase of development will be a Wal -Mart with a grocery store. Also included in the plan are several 40,000 sq. ft. junior box stores (tenants unknown at this time) located at various locations throughout the site. Mr. Eitel added that the significance of the buildings on the site adds to the image of a Town Center with the pedestrian walkways, ponding areas, improved traffic flow, and better access to the site. Mr. Will Matzek, representing Brookdale owners, stated that Mr. Eitel explained very well the components of the site. He pointed out the added greenways and explained how the creation of walkways on the site makes it more pedestrian friendly. He further showed the Commission some additional photos of the walkways, entries, lighting and green areas on the site which will create an attractive ingress and egress on the site. Commissioner Kuykendall asked for clarification on where mechanical equipment and the service area would be located on the site with the change in the plan. Ms. Kathy Anderson, Architectural Consortium, explained how the new layout would accommodate screening of the equipment on the site as well as identifying the location and functionality of the buildings and service areas on the site. There was continued discussion among the Commission regarding the location of proposed buildings, ponding area, the use of the creek and the integration of day - lighting on the site. Commissioners Parks and Kuykendall stated that they would like the applicant to consider redesigning the entry to the site from Xerxes Avenue north. They felt that it is an awkward entrance that is confusing. Mr. Matzek stated he appreciates the comments and he will visit the site to assess the entrance and will also discuss it with Mr. Gatlin, the owner of the property. Commissioner Schonning asked if the frontage road along Hwy 100 would remain on the site. Mr. Matzek stated that it would remain with added improvements. Commissioner Parks pointed out the layout of the walkways in relationship to the creek. Mr. Matzek responded that the walking trails were designed to Three Rivers Park standards and added that they do intentionally keep a separation between trails and the creek for safety reasons. DISCUSSION ITEMS: Page 5 1-27-11 EXPANSION OF PARKING LOT AT 1700 FREEWAY BOULEVARD TO ACCOMMODATE MANUFACTURING USE Mr. Eitel introduced a discussion item regarding a business located in Brooklyn Center, Precision, Inc., which is a manufacturing facility employing 80 employees. They currently rent building a space and are considering relocating their company to 1700 Freeway Boulevard. This g • fits their needs; however, parking on the site is not effective for the employees and for truck traffic on the site. The issue being discussed tonight is whether or not the city can accommodate more parking on the site to meet their needs. Mr. Eitel explained that this would involve removing the access off Freeway Boulevard and lining up the access along James Ave /James Circle which creates an 8 ft. boulevard (green strip) area instead of the required 15 ft. green strip area. Mr. Eitel added that by allowing a variance to the required green strip area, it creates additional parking spaces and creates a more efficient traffic flow on the site. Mr. Eitel asked the Commission if they would entertain discussion on this at a future meeting. There was discussion by the Commission regarding alternative parking surfaces and solutions to their parking dilemma. It was the consensus of the Commission to allow further discussion at a future Planning Commission meeting with the applicant. REVIEW OF BUILDING USES AT PALMER LAKE PLAZA INDUSTRIAL BUILDING Mr. Eitel discussed the various uses at the Palmer Lake Plaza building which houses uses such as churches and schools. There is a request to allow a day care facility in this building, however, such a use is not allowed in the I -1 (Industrial) zoning district. He added that most of this building does not house industrial or manufacturing uses at this time. Mr. Eitel explained that many of the tenants are occupying space in the Palmer Lake Plaza • without the benefit of a special use permit approval. He stated that he is asking the Commission if they feel it would be appropriate to have a discussion with the building owner to pursue a `multi - purpose' special use permit for a number of existing uses in the building. He added that this would also involve an amendment to the PUD to allow as a use the daycare component that would be associated with the building and the Brooklyn Center ALS. It was the consensus of the Commission to allow the owner of the Palmer Lake Plaza the opportunity to obtain special use permits for any current tenant that should be operating with city approval under the special use permit process. There was no other business. ADJOURNMENT There was a motion by Commissioner Morey, seconded by Commissioner Parks, to adjourn the Planning Commission meeting. The motion passed unanimously.

Photo, Other Total Value of Loss: I, Ben Bruce, a Community Service Officer for the Brooklyn Center Police Department received a call from dispatch that an individual was at the Brooklyn Center Police Department to file a dog bite report that had occurred on October 8 t ', 2010 which was three days before the individual decided to report the incident. I arrived at the police department and spoke with the victim of the dog bite identified as Irven Arthur Nelson that resides 8631 Prestwick Ln N, Brooklyn Park. He handed me a sheet of paper that had all the contact information of the individual that owned the dog that bit him and a short synopsis of what had happened on that day. When I asked NELSON what had happened on October 8 t ', 2010 he stated that he was out delivering door hangers for his church at the residence of 7219 Major Ave N Brooklyn Center - -- and that is where he got bit. He said that he had his back turned to the yard when he was on the front door step of that residence and when he turned around he saw the dog coming at him. He placed his hand out for protection and the dog bit his left hand. He then said that the dog owner came around the comer and saw his hand bleeding and tried to gather some bandages for him. Nelson told me that he had went to the Park Nicollet Urgent Care where he needed to get three stitches to close up the wound. When he was at the police station, his hand was wrapped up so I could not see the wound. He said that the dog owners insurance company has been involved and that the dog owners have been very cooperative with him. I ask NELSON why he wanted to make a police report three days after it had happened and he said that he wanted the police to be informed to try and prevent a kid from being bit. Due to the high volume of calls I had to handle on Oct I V h , 2010 I was not able to get time to go to the residence of 7219 Major Ave N, Brooklyn Center to follow up with what NELSON had told me. I asked another Community Service Officer to attempt and make contact for me since I was not scheduled to work until the following Sunday, October 17 2010. I was told by Community Service Officer Matt Bozowski that he had made contact with the dog owner on October 13'', 2010 and has written a supplemental report to this one. He informed the owner of the 10 day quarantine. He did not deem the dog at the time of contact with the individual because I informed Bozowski I would do it after getting the other side of the story to make my determination. Under the Circumstances of the situation, I will be deeming the dog potentially dangerous. I will make contact with the dog owner on my next shift and explain to the owner what needs to be done.

In the email is stated that CSO Bruce took a report of a dog bite on Monday that occurred over the weekend. CSO Bruce said that he needed someone to stop out at the house where the dog lives which was 7219 Major Ave N in Brooklyn Center to get the owners and dog information. I went out to the house at approximately 1700 hours and made contact with a male who was identified as MCDOLE, Kelly Eugene with a phone number of 763 -560 -4889. MCDOLE stated that he was the homeowner and that he owns the dog. I advised MCDOLE that I was there because of a dog bite incident that happened over the weekend. MCDOLE advised me that the incident happened on Friday, afternoon of last week around 345pm. MCDOLE advised me that he was walking out to his garage and thought that the dogs were br inside the house already so he didn't shut the gate. MCDOLE said that while he was in the garage that his dog which is a White/Brown/Black Male Bulldog/Boxer mix approximately 7 years old got out through the open gate and bit a guy who was on their front step putting up a flier. MCDOLE stated that they didn't see the incident happen and only know what the guy told them. I asked MCDOLE if the dog in question was up to date on its rabies vaccination and he said he was. MCDOLE gave me information off of the rabies tag on the collar of the dog and I wrote it down. The information from the date is Compassionate Care Animal Hospital (Also known as Funks) with a phone number of 763 - 315 -4200 and a tag number of 8741. I advised MCDOLE that as of right now the investigation is continuing and explained about the deeming process of a Potentially Dangerous Dog. I advised MCDOLE that the dog isn't being deemed at this time and that CSO Bruce will decide when he is in next what he would like to do. I advised MCDOLE that due to the bite that occurred that we would have to quarantine the dog for a period of then days. I advised MCDOLE that since the incident occurred five days ago that there would only be five days left of the quarantine process since it goes by the date of the incident. I explained to MCDOLE the rules that the dog would have to be kept separate from other animals and be monitored when outside and brought in right away and wouldn't be able to go on walks during those five days. MCDOLE said that he understood. I asked MCDOLE if he had any questions and he advised me that he didn't. I gave MCDOLE a business card with CSO Bruce's information on it and put my name and number on the back of it and advised MCDOLE to call if he has any questions. I advised MCDOLE that we would be back out on the 18�' of October to do the ten day check and he said he understood. Once back at the PD I contacted Compassionate Care Animal Hospital to obtain a copy of the rabies information. While on the phone I learned that he dogs name was "Elvis ". The female I spoke to faxed the information over and it is attached to this report. Nothing further at this time.

The City Clerk testified that utility payments totaling $3,586.73 were due and unpaid as of November 27, 2010. Utility charges were partially paid by December 13, 2010 and fully paid on January 10, 2011, and were current as of the date of the hearing. 6.

The Council also questioned whether there should be additional penalties /fines to cover the City's costs to publish and mail notice of the hearing. Additional issues are whether all violators should be treated the same or consideration given to first -time offenders as opposed to repeat offenders. Mr. LeFevere stated the Council can also consider whether it wants to treat nonpayment of taxes and nonpayment of utilities at the same level of seriousness. He reviewed the details of his May 20, 2010, e -mail to City Manager Boganey that listed issues to consider in the formulation of a policy on the imposition of sanctions on rental properties that are not current in payment of taxes and/or utilities. Mr. LeFevere clarified that imposition of monetary penalties is not applicable to payment of taxes because that is County matter. The City currently charges penalties for nonpayment of utilities through an administrative penalty process. He explained the Council needed to look at this matter in the context of the Housing Ordinance; aesthetic violation versus life /safety violation, so the most serious penalty imposed is for violations deemed to be the most serious. The Council discussed each of the six issues put forward by Mr. LeFevere and reached the following consensus: 1. Does the Council wish to establish a reminder and ace period for payments? gr p p ym The Council discussed whether a 30 -day grace period was warranted and it was noted that the current process already includes a grace period. The Council agreed that the goal is to create responsible ownership of rental properties and creating a grace period would result in additional staff "babysitting" and overhead costs. 2. Does the Council wish to impose an administrative fine to encourage compliance without a hearing? Mr. LeFevere advised that the fine cannot be imposed the same day because all of the processes take some time. He asked when does the liability occur and if it should be one day after payment is due. He described several options for consideration, such as sending a reminder for the first violation with no consequence if paid in a week, no grace period if a second violation, and imposition of an administration penalty with a hearing if not paid within a certain period of time. In addition, if a hearing is scheduled for a first -time offender, there may be a different penalty depending on the number of violations with the same person. Following discussion, the consensus of the Council was to impose an administrative fine to encourage compliance and that the fine be set at a level to cover the City's costs and provide sufficient incentive to pay the utility bill as opposed to other bills. Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe community that enhances the quality of Life and preserves the public trust COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM 3. Once the policy calls for setting a hearing, the notice of hearing should inform the licensee of any relevant policy provisions. The consensus of the Council was to support Question #3 because it allows the Council, if desired, to consider past violations when imposing a penalty. 4. If the licensee pays before the hearing, does the Council wish to cancel the hearing? Mayor Willson suggested cancellation the hearing if payment is made in advance of the hearing. He asked what would be considered at the hearing if the violation had been remedied. Councilmember Lasman spoke against canceling the hearing because some rental owners make the payment after the City has expended costs to schedule and notice the hearing. She stated it is her opinion that administrative fines weaken, not strengthen, the situation. Mayor Willson asked why a hearing would be needed if guidelines are adopted. Mr. LeFevere explained the City has to hold the hearing to gather evidence from staff to prove that the violation occurred and hear from the property owner. He noted the ordinance requires the Council to state rationale and findings. Mayor Willson noted the hearing can only be held after payment if there is an ability to impose an administrative fine to cover staff and hearing costs. • Following further discussion, the consensus of the Council was to not cancel the hearing if the violation is remedied prior to the hearing date. 5. If the matter proceeds to a hearing, the Council should take into consideration whether the licensee paid the delinquent amount before the hearing. The consensus of the Council was to remain firm on ordinance enforcement and to hold rental owners accountable; however, leniency may be considered for first -time violators. 6. If the matter proceeds to hearing, the Council may wish to consider including a guideline about the imposition of penalties. It was noted that establishing guidelines and policies on the consequences would protect the City and create a better position to defend the City should a lawsuit claim unfair treatment. Mr. LeFevere agreed that if the City has a policy, it removes the argument by someone that they are not being treated the same. Mr. LeFevere advised that a late payment resulting in a sanction of a six -month to one -year revocation, may result in rental owners being quick to bring legal challenges. That is why staff needs specific direction, to assure consistency so if legally challenged it can be proven that everyone has been treated the same way. • Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe community that enhances the quality of life and preserves the public trust COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM Mayor Willson stated the last sentence indicating "that evidence introduced at the hearing ... may result in the imposition of a greater or lesser penalty" has some merit. He noted the rental owner is provided with the ordinance when the license is pulled so he did not understand why the City had to consider leniency. Mr. LeFevere advised that under the Code the Council can consider a range from doing nothing to a one -year revocation. If the Council establishes guidelines for the future, then all know what happens with first, second, or third violations. However, there may be some cases where the facts may find those guidelines are not appropriate. He explained if the City follows that guideline, it is considered to be acting reasonably and rationally. If not using the guideline, the City would need to cite rationale. Mayor Willson asked whether the Council would still consider revocation if payment is made the day before or the day of the hearing. Mr. LeFevere advised that the rental owner paying the day before means they are no longer in violation; however, the owner was in violation when the hearing was noticed. He pointed out that most of the time, when the Council considers revocation or suspension of the license, it may be after the violations were cured. The offense does not stop just because it is corrected, and the City can sanction the behavior. If challenged, the court will decide whether the Council's action was a reasonable response under the City Code based on the nature and seriousness of the offense. The Council discussed the options and agreed that it is difficult to impose a law to achieve automatic compliance. However, the Council can take one step at this point and determine to hold the hearing even if payment is made. With regard to consideration of repeat violators, it was indicated that will be determined by the • Council upon hearing the case and receiving staff's report on the history of the property. It was noted that whether a first -time or repeat violator, the hearing will be held but the Council's response could be different. Mr. LeFevere recapped the Council's discussion that the start of the process will not change up to the point of giving notice. Staff will assure those procedures are routine and consistent and all are treated the same. Once it goes to a hearing, the notice of hearing will indicate that the hearing will be held even if the violation is resolved and also identify the frequency of offense. During the hearing, all offenses would be addressed by the Council when considering whether to impose a penalty. Mr. LeFevere advised that staff and the prosecuting attorney are in agreement that if imposing more severe sanctions for repeat violators, those violations need to be listed in the notice of hearing. The notice will indicate the Council will consider imposition of sanctions, list the violations, and that hearing will be held whether or not payment is made prior to the hearing.

Mr. LeFevere advised that the fine cannot be imposed the same day because all of the processes take some time. He asked when does the liability occur and if it should be one day after payment is due. He described several options for consideration, such as sending a reminder for the first violation with no consequence if paid in a week, no grace period if a second violation, and imposition of an administration penalty with a hearing if not paid within a certain period of time. In addition, if a hearing is scheduled for a first -time offender, there may be a different penalty depending on the number of violations with the same person. Following discussion, the consensus of the Council was to impose an administrative fine to encourage compliance and that the fine be set at a level to cover the City's costs and provide sufficient incentive to pay the utility bill as opposed to other bills. :Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, .cafe community that enhances the quality of life and preserves the public trust COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM 3. Once the olic calls for setting a hearing, the notice of hearing should inform the p Y g licensee of any relevant policy provisions. The consensus of the Council was to support Question #3 because it allows the Council, if desired, to consider past violations when imposing a penalty. 4. If the licensee pays before the hearing, does the Council wish to cancel the hearing? Mayor Willson suggested cancellation the hearing if payment is made in advance of the hearing. He asked what would be considered at the hearing if the violation had been remedied. Councilmember Lasman spoke against canceling the hearing because some rental owners make the payment after the City has expended costs to schedule and notice the hearing. She stated it is her opinion that administrative fines weaken, not strengthen, the situation. Mayor Willson asked why a hearing would be needed if guidelines are adopted. Mr. LeFevere explained the City has to hold the hearing to gather evidence from staff to prove that the violation occurred and hear from the property owner. He noted the ordinance requires the Council to state rationale and findings. Mayor Willson noted the hearing can only be held after payment if there is an ability to impose • an administrative fine to cover staff and hearing costs. Following further discussion, the consensus of the Council was to not cancel the hearing if the_ violation is remedied prior to the hearing date. 5. If the matter proceeds to a hearing, the Council should take into consideration whether the licensee paid the delinquent amount before the hearing. The consensus of the Council was to remain firm on ordinance enforcement and to hold rental owners accountable; however, leniency may be considered for first -time violators. 6. If the matter proceeds to hearing, the Council may wish to consider including a guideline about the imposition of penalties. It was noted that establishing guidelines and policies on the consequences would protect the City and create a better position to defend the City should a lawsuit claim unfair treatment. Mr. LeFevere agreed that if the City has a policy, it removes the argument by someone that they are not being treated the same. Mr. LeFevere advised that a late payment resulting in a sanction of a six -month to one -year revocation, may result in rental owners being quick to bring legal challenges. That is why staff needs specific direction, to assure consistency so if legally challenged it can be proven that e everyone has been treated the same way. Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe community that enhances the quality of life and preserves the public trust COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM Mayor Willson stated the last sentence indicating "that evidence introduced at the hearing ... may result in the imposition of a greater or lesser penalty" has some merit. He noted the rental owner is provided with the ordinance when the license is pulled so he did not understand why the City had to consider leniency. Mr. LeFevere advised that under the Code the Council can consider a range from doing nothing to a one -year revocation. If the Council establishes guidelines for the future, then all know what happens with first, second, or third violations. However, there may be some cases where the facts may find those guidelines are not appropriate. He explained if the City follows that guideline, it is considered to be acting reasonably and rationally. If not using the guideline, the City would need to cite rationale. Mayor Willson asked whether the Council would still consider revocation if payment is made the day before or the day of the hearing. Mr. LeFevere advised that the rental owner paying the day before means they are no longer in violation; however, the owner was in violation when the hearing was noticed. He pointed out that most of the time, when the Council considers revocation or suspension of the license, it may be after the violations were cured. The offense does not stop just because it is corrected, and the City can sanction the behavior. If challenged, the court will decide whether the Council's action was a reasonable response under the City Code based on the nature and seriousness of the offense. The Council discussed the options and agreed that it is difficult to impose a law to achieve • automatic compliance. However, the Council can take one step at this point and determine to hold the hearing even if payment is made. With regard to consideration of repeat violators, it was indicated that will be determined by the Council upon hearing the case and receiving staff's report on the history of the property. It was noted that whether a first -time or repeat violator, the hearing will be held but the Council's response could be different. Mr. LeFevere recapped the Council's discussion that the start of the process will not change up to the point of giving notice. Staff will assure those procedures are routine and consistent and all are treated the same. Once it goes to a hearing, the notice of hearing will indicate that the hearing will be held even if the violation is resolved and also identify the frequency of offense. During the hearing, all offenses would be addressed by the Council when considering whether to impose a penalty. Mr. LeFevere advised that staff and the prosecuting attorney are in agreement that if imposing more severe sanctions for repeat violators, those violations need to be listed in the notice of hearing. The notice will indicate the Council will consider imposition of sanctions, list the violations, and that hearing will be held whether or not payment is made prior to the hearing.

Background: The August 9, 2010 City Council Work Session included a discussion on a legislative change relating to State standards for the licensing of both tattoo and body piercing establishments and body art technicians. The new statute provided the City Council the following options: 1. Get out of the licensing business for this activity. 2. Retain the city ordinance and issue establishment licenses. 3. A combination of 1 and2, get out of licensing but control the location of the establishments. The majority consensus of the City Council was to divest the City of Brooklyn Center from the expense of licensing tattoo and body piercing establishments, but to regulate the location through the Zoning Ordinance. Attached for your reference is a copy of the minutes of this work session item, staff and attorney's memorandums on this matter and a copy of the City's current licensing requirements on tattoo and body piercing establishments (Chapter 23 -301 thru 23 -314). Ordinance provisions regulating the location of tattoo and body piercing establishments: The proposed ordinance amendment maintains the current regulations relating to the location of this use: a. The use must be on property properly zoned. b. The use shall not be located on premises licensed to furnish alcoholic beverages. C. The use shall not be located on premises of an adult establishment. d. The use shall not be located within 300 feet of a building, lot or parcel of land of any of the following uses: ttlission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe conununity that enhances the duality of life and preserves the public trust COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM a church, school, daycare center, hospital, on sale liquor establishment, halfway • house, currency exchange, theater, residence (except as allowed under state law) pawn shop, second hand dealer, massage parlor, sauna, or another tattoo or body art or piercing establishment.

Mr. Boganey answered in the affirmative. • Councilmember Ryan asked if the Dupont bridge is closed. Mr. Boganey answered in the affirmative. Mayor Willson stated he gets a lot of calls asking who is paying for the Bass Lake Road project. Mr. Lillehaug advised that the City's website contains information on that project. DISCUSSION OF WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEMS AS TIME PERMITS REGULATION OF TATTOO AND BODY PIERCING ESTABLISHMENTS Mr. Boganey advised the State has adopted a new statute to govern and regulate tattoo and body piercing activities. The City has three options: 1) Get out of the licensing business for this activity; 2) Retain City ordinance and issue establishment licenses; or, 3) A combination of the two by not licensing but continue to control location of the establishments through the zoning ordinance. The Council discussed this matter and noted the City no longer licenses home -based daycares but does the inspection for the State for a fee. Mr. Boganey stated the City probably started regulating tattoo and body piercing establishments due to health and safety concerns. The Council discussed the three options and Mayor Willson and Councilmembers Lasman and Ryan indicated support for Option 3 so the City is able to determine the location. It was noted that the State's requirements are more restrictive than the City's. The Council discussed whether a distance requirement should be established and if the Planning Commission should be asked for a recommendation. Mr. Boganey answered questions of the Council and indicated City staff is qualified to do this licensing and there are no current licenses in effect. He explained the City wants to assure the business is conducted in a safe manner so if there is a complaint, the City has the ability to issue a citation and revoke the license. However, now the State will be able to take this action. Councilmember Yelich indicated that when the State becomes responsible for licensing and setting standards, he wonders if that is a quality program and asked what is its track record for inspections and licensing. Mr. Boganey stated he thinks they will do an adequate job but is unable to give an objective answer since the City does not have much to compare it to since there are no current licenses. Councilmember Yelich indicated support of Option 3. It was the majority consensus of the City Council that the City should divest itself of the expense to license tattoo and body piercing establishments, assuming the State adequately performs this function, but to regulate the location through the Zoning Ordinance. ADJOURN STUDY SESSION TO INFORMAL OPEN FORUM WITH CITY COUNCIL • 08/09/10 -3- MEMORANDUM - COUNCIL WORK SESSION DATE: August 5, 2010 TO: City Council FROM: Curt Boganey, City Man SUBJECT: Regulation of Tattoo and Body Piercing Establishments Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council consider providing direction to staff regarding the regulation of Tattoo and Body Piercing establishments Background: The City has an ordinance that regulates tattooing and body piercing establishments that requires licensing by the City. Currently the City has no such licenses in effect. During the most recent legislative session the State established standards for licensing these same activities. . As outlined in the memo attached from our City Attorney this new law provides the City with several options; It can repeal its ordinances and allow the State to regulate this activity completely, stay in the business of licensing business but not individuals, or stop licensing but continue. to regulate locations of such Policy suese. c3' . Is it in the interest of the City to continue regulating tattoo and body piercing activities' in Brooklyn Center? Council Goals: Ongoing: ' 1.. We will provide streamlined, cost effective, quality services with limited resources Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe conunanity that enhances the quality of life and preserves the public trust Mary D.

The ordinance requires a business license for specific locations and a (� O personal service license for all persons who engage in such work. The ordinance also establishes conditions of licensure and health and sanitation standards. This session, the legislature adopted a new Chapter 146B specifically dealing with this same subject. The statute, which was effective July 1, 2010, establishes state standards for licensing both establishments and what is described as body art technicians, i.e. those who practice tattooing and body piercing. Sanitation standards are established and persons desiring body art technician licenses must have a minimum of 200 hours of supervised experience. Establishments must meet the state licensing requirements by January 1, 2011 but are exempt if they are licensed under a city or other local ordinance which meets or exceeds the statutory provisions. Individuals must be licensed as body art technicians under the state statute by January 1, 2011 regardless of local licensing. The statute explicitly provides that nothing preempts or supersedes any municipal ordinance relating to land use, building and construction standards, nuisance control or the licensing of commercial enterprises in general. In light of the above, we believe the City has essentially three options: 1. Get out of the licensing business The city could repeal its ordinance and allow the state to regulate tattooing and body piercing. The city would have one fewer activity to regulate and enforce. 2. Stay in the licensins business The city could retain its ordinance and stay in the business of 372924vi MDT BR29I 4 1 issuing establishment licenses although there may no longer be any need to license individuals. The. ordinance would need some revisions to comply with state law. For example, the city's ordinance allows persons younger than 18 years of age to receive tattoos with the consent and in the presence of parents or guardians. The statute prohibits this practice regardless of parental consent. In order to be exempt from state licensure, establishments must be licensed under a city ordinance which is at least as restrictive as the statute. The ordinance would have to be reviewed and revised in all respects with which it does not currently meet this standard. 3. Get out of the licensing business but continue to control the location of establishments This middle ground position, which is specifically authorized by state law, recognizes that cities may want to be free from the burden of licensure and enforcement but still wish to control -where such establishments may locate in the community. This approach would allow the city to regulate in what zoning districts such establishments could locate, provide for spacing or "distance from" requirements and continue to allow regulation of the nuisance aspects of the business. The City's ordinance (Section 23 -2309) currently contains some restrictions on location.

Youth Participation Request Work Session Agenda Item No. 1 MEMORANDUM - COUNCIL WORK SESSION DATE: February 14, 2011 TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager FROM: Vickie SchleuninAssistant City Manager/Director of Building and Community Standards SUBJECT: Discussion Pertaining to Vehicle and Parking Requirements Recommendation: Staff is seeking direction from the City Council regarding vehicle - related parking and storage requirements for the purpose of preparing ordinance amendments. Background: In 2005 and 2006 the City Council and the Housing Commission reviewed issues relating to restricting the number of vehicles at property. An ordinance amendment to chapter 19 was proposed at the March 27, 2006 Council Meeting. The ordinance amendment was tabled for the review of other options such as increased enforcement of the current ordinance. In March of 2008 code changes were made to chapter 19 -1300. These amendments provided for • stronger and clearer language for the enforcement of inoperable vehicles. At the time of this ordinance change, it was suggested that staff review the impact this code change would have in improving the appearance and safety of the neighborhood. Then, this information would be used in order to determine what, if any, additional steps would be suggested in the future to further improve vehicle related issues. Overall, the ordinance change regarding junk/inoperable vehicles has been successful in reducing blight and associated resident concerns. One change included the ability for the city to remove a junk/inoperable vehicle and charge the costs back to the property owner. This enforcement tool has been instrumental in achieving compliance, even though it has not had to be used directly. Administrative penalties have also improved compliance. On August 23, 2010 a resident addressed the Council requesting an ordinance to restrict the number of vehicles allowed to be parked outside at a residential property. The city continues to receive some resident concerns about certain vehicle- related issues not addressed by current city ordinances. Although the extent of concerns cannot be quantified, some examples of vehicle- related concerns are included in Attachment V. These examples will be used to help facilitate discussion, clarify standards provided by current city regulations and reviewing options to consider. Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe community that enhances the quality of life and preserves the public trust MEMORANDUM - COUNCIL WORK SESSION Vehicle Violations Statistics Since the vehicle ordinance was updated in 2008, staff have continued to address vehicle violations. The following are the number of vehicle related violations addressed by city staff for the past five years. P # ' �fl�ah�� 266 348 140 242 191 �` Ca1)tfoeiee 360* 1,318* 914 2,214 1,632 Current Ordinance Summary A summary of the current city ordinance in relation to vehicle standards at residential property is provided below: • All vehicles stored at a property must be properly licensed and in operable condition. • All vehicles stored at property must be owned by a resident of the property, with the exception of temporary guests. • Vehicles stored in the front yard or side setback (not defined as side yard), must be located on an approved surface such as gravel, bituminous or concrete. • • Commercial vehicles may not be parked on residential properties except for reasonable deliveries or service up to 2 hours. • Vehicles may not be stored on the street overnight between the hours of 2 am and 6 am, or for more than 6 continuous hours. • After a snowfall, vehicles may not be stored in the street for plowing activities. Options for Consideration There are many options to consider when updating the ordinance pertaining to vehicle parking and storage standards. An effective solution to address vehicle- related issues will be based on the characteristics of properties in the city, and likely involve a combination of options and multiple ordinance sections. Some items to consider include the following: 1. Definition of vehicle a. Different vehicle types may be regulated such as commercial vehicles, recreational vehicles, motorized vehicles and trailers. b. There can be a clarification between temporary guests parking and resident parking/storage. 2. Defining yard space a. One option that may be considered is limiting the area of the property that may be improved as parking surface. Le. Green space, pervious surface, etc. Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe community that enhances the quality of life and preserves the public trust MEMORANDUM - COUNCIL WORK SESSION b. Another option would be to define areas of the yard such as front, side, and rear yards and different restriction could be placed based on the yard location. 3. Parking surface a. Parking surface requirements could include impervious surfaces b. Improved surfaces could be required in the rear and side yard storage locations for all vehicle types or certain types of vehicles such as motorized, trailers, RVs, etc. 4. Limiting the number of vehicles a. The number of vehicles could be limited. In previous years, there have been previous discussions by council to limit the number of vehicles to 6 vehicles or less without consensus. b. Requirements such as one vehicle per licensed driver are difficult to enforce. c. Vehicle limit could be based on the type of vehicles that are at the property. Some cities restrict by defined units. (example: Recreational vehicles, non - motorized, commercial vehicles or passenger vehicles) Based on Council feedback, staff will research specific options and create a draft ordinance for review. Policy Issues: What factors should be considered in developing vehicle regulations? Le. Size of properties, size of households, number of affected parties, types of vehicles on the market, staff workload, legal parameters Council Goals: Strategic: 1. We will ensure a safe and secure community 3. We will stabilize and improve residential neighborhoods Attachments: Attachment I- Current Residential Parking Surface Requirements Attachment II- Vehicle Issues and Code Options Attachment III - Sample Code Sections Attachment IV- Applicable Code Sections Attachment V- Examples Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe community that enhances the quality of life and preserves the public trust Attachment I- Current Residential Parking Surface Requirements Residential Parking Surface Requirements Summary The following is a general summary of the surface requirements for vehicles located on residential property. Please refer to the various lot diagrams indicating parking surface requirements. Vehicles Located in Front Yard Vehicles located in the front yard 35 -foot setback must be stored on the driveway. In cases where a parking pad is allowed adjacent to the driveway, the surface must be paved or graveled, even if the driveway is dirt. Vehicles Located in Side or Rear Yard Generally, vehicles located in the side or rear yard may be stored on grass. The surface beneath the vehicle must be maintained, such as keeping the grass mowed. However, for corner lot properties, in the side yard adjacent to the public street, vehicles placed in the 25 ft setback must be located on a paved or graveled surface. Note: Property lines are generally located 15 feet back from the street edge. The setback would be an additional 25 feet or 35 feet as applicable. Since right -of -way (R.O.W.) distances will vary, it is important to locate property lines. • Fig. 1 Standard Lot Fig. 2 Standard Corner Lot W_ Z o J.

Vehicle Parking Surface Requirements. Code Sections 19- 103.14, 35-710 Issues: In some situations, the definition of the front yard and the front and corner lot side setbacks create confusion for the general public, and are susceptible to inconsistent interpretation. For certain residential lots, as illustrated in the lot diagrams, vehicles may be located on a landscaped surface in locations in which the general public would consider a front yard, and expect a hard surface requirement. In some cases, property owners are not maintaining the landscaped area under vehicles, resulting in long grass /weeds or dirt/lack of groundcover. Option: 1) Clarify code to state vehicles located in front yards and vehicles located between structures and an abutting public street in front and side yards must be located on a paved or graveled surface. 2) Add code language to require all vehicles to be located on paved or graveled surface. A green space requirement for the whole property would be recommended, in addition to the existing 50% front yard green space requirement, so a majority of a property could not be paved. 3) Add code language to require existing dirt and gravel driveways, if not maintained, to be upgraded to paved or concrete surface. • 3. Large Number of Vehicles on a Property and/or Vehicles Parked in Rear Yards. No code speck to quantity or location restriction for vehicles. Issues: The number of vehicles associated with a single residence has increased, often exceeding the capacity of the designed parking areas, the driveways and garages. In many cases, garages are used to store items other than vehicles. Therefore, vehicles are parked on landscaped areas, in side and rear yards and in the streets. Screening requirements are not effective in eliminating potential environmental and safety hazards or the unattractive appearance to adjacent residents with second stories or decks. In addition, where vehicles block access to areas beyond the parked vehicles, emergency response efforts may be hampered. Large numbers of vehicles may add to a problem by creating additional hazards. Option: 1) For the side and rear yard, add a limitation to vehicle storage (need to consider motorized, non - motorized, recreational, etc.) such as surface requirement, green space, number, etc. 6 Attachment III- Sample Code Sections "For Illustrative Purposes Only" Any proposed code amendment would require further determination where code amendments should be cited, where conflicting language exists in city ordinances, and requires review by the city attorney. Sample #1 This sample ordinance would provide for a definition of an improved parking surface, restrict the amount of green space, and require all vehicles to be on an improved surface. 19- 103.14 a) Vehicles, trailers and watercraft may be parked or stored outside in any yard provided , if they parked or s t or ed i th fient yard ^ ^ ^ y ard a re or- abttfg apubki stmet they must be parked or stored on an improved parking surface and atAhefized pafldng- -e r- dFiveway afea or- —a- paved -- ^, ^a eyAens e f a uthorized paFk ng ^r- driveway ^ n be in compliance with Section 19 -1301 through 1305 of the City Ordinances.

All single family residential properties shall not have more than 6 vehicles stored outside at the properly. This does not included vehicles owned by temporary guest. Definition: Temporary Guest: A temporary guest is a visitor that does not exceed more than two consecutive weeks and does not exceed a total of 6 weeks in a calendar year.

Background: A year ago the City Council reviewed Strategic Goals,Ongoing Goals, Desired Outcomes and for the first time established success targets. The success targets are intended to be a way of focusing City efforts expecting that the pursuit of these targets will lead to the Desired Outcomes and Goals of the City Council. As stated last year, the targets established are deliberately aggressive and difficult to achieve. They are intended to encourage creative solutions and clearly focus effort and resources. You will note that while some targets have been met or exceeded there is much work to be done to achieve most of the targets. In many cases we will need to use 2011 as a year to gather base line data before we can adequately measure progress. In many cases the targets are long-term and success will not be realized for several years. I encourage the staff and Council not to be discouraged that many targets have yet to be met, because it is not the achievement but the pursuit of the target that will make all of the difference. I am pleased to share this first annual report and look forward to receiving your comments, suggestions and feedback. Policy Issues: Does the report provide the data/information needed by the Council to assess target accomplishments? How can the report be improved for the benefit of the Council? Council Values Vision and Planning- We believe that the very essence of leadership is to be visionary and to plan for the future. i Mission:ensuring an attractive,clean,safe conrnurnetr that enhances the cluallty of Iije crud preserves the public trust DRAFT Annual Results 2010 , This report documents results toward the achievement of Strategic and Ongoing Desired Outcome Measuring Success Success Targets established by the Brooklyn Center City Council • i 0 0 OUR MISSION • To ensure a clean, safe, attractive community that enhances the quality of life and preserves the public trust OUR VALUES Excellence and Quality, Ethics and Integrity, Vision and 41 Planning, Fiscal Responsibility, Cooperation and Teamwork, Open and Honest Communication, Professionalism 2 STRATEGIC GOALS- Desired Outcomes-Success Targets 1.

Background: Each year the Council holds a Leadership - Planning -Team Building Retreat with Department Heads. This year the retreat is planned for March 5` 2011 at the Earle Brown Heritage Center. I have enclosed a copy of the draft agenda for your review and comment. Council member Roche has specifically requested an opportunity to discuss the retreat agenda. The outline of the retreat is designed to be very similar to the 2007 retreat when more time was devoted to team building exercises. As you will recall the last few retreats have focused a significant amount of the time discussing budget planning and goal definition. Hopefully, we will need to spend less time on these topics leaving more time for team building, role clarifications, expectations and communication. Policy Issues: Does retreat agenda meet the expectations of the Council? Will it facilitate improved communication and teamwork and goal achievement? work session memo .retreat.review.02.14.11.doc Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe community that enhances the quality of life and preserves the public trust CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER COUNCIL MEMBERS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS 2011 LEADERSHIP — PLANNING - TEAM BUILDING RETREAT PRIMARY OBJECTIVES 1) To provide an opportunity to become better acquainted with the new council member and police chief, integrating them onto the city's leadership team 2) To review progress being made by the city (particularly on 2010 projects, ongoing and strategic goals, and success target results) 3) To build on previous retreats 4) To discuss changes and forces that are likely to impact the city 5) To develop an updated consensus on issues and opportunities facing the city (1— 3 year perspective) 6) To develop an updated goals program and success targets • 7) To review the roles and responsibilities of the city's leadership team. 8) To enhance communication working relationships and develop renewed team spirit among the participants 9) To discuss ways that the council and staff can improve their overall effectiveness 10) To be both educational and enjoyable 11 FORMAT OF THE RETREAT The sessions will be highly participative combining group discussions, individual activities, and facilitator comments.
